Me today at 6:22 AM EST via Twitter X or whatever you want to call it:

In case you can’t read the tweet:

PREDICTION: Sometime today

@realDonaldTrump will make a public statement about the Murder in #charlotte on video and the MSM will suddenly discover the story of Iryna Zarutska’s murder under the heading: “Republicans pounce” #unexpectedly of course #IrynaZarutska

Trump today:

Axos today via Instapundit:

AXIOS GOES INTO FULL REPUBLICANS POUNCE MODE TO TUT-TUT ZARUTSKA MURDER: Stabbing video fuels MAGA’s crime message.

MAGA influencers are drawing repeated attention to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases.

  • Shocking video of the fatal Aug. 22 knife attack on 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a light-rail car in Charlotte, North Carolina, dominated weekend conversation on Trump-friendly social media.

The big picture: The rising number of surveillance cameras in public spaces, including on Charlotte’s light rail, has become a big accelerant in these cases.

  • The video is easily shared or leaked, and can instantly pollinate across social media — a visual counterpoint to statistics showing crime decreases.

Glenn opines:

“Since the number one rule for the legacy media is ‘thou shalt not support anything Trump does,’ naturally the Zarutska murder can’t be covered. And it won’t be, unless they can find — or manufacture — some alternative angle that will make Trump look bad. So far, they’ve come up a dry hole. So nothing.”

And that’s why Axios started off Monday by blaming the video of Zarutska’s murder, and Republicans’ response to it. It’s adjacent to their fellow leftists originally demanding omnipresent police body cams, and then being shocked that almost invariably, they show the police responding competently to violent crimes being committed:

In fairness this was easier to predict than the questions Joe Biden was getting at press conferences.

It hit me a day or two ago that if the ex CEO of Astronomer and his wife dispensed with the traditional wedding vows and wrote their own he might end up saving a lot of money despite his actions at the Coldplay concert,

If both agreed they didn’t want the traditional vows and neither put “forsaking all others till death do us part” or a variant of it in their vows she’s not going to have a case.

After all if both parties remove a clause from a contract then you can’t penalize folks for not obeying this clause.

If I’m his lawyer I pounce on this.

who ended up


Longtime readers of this blog know that I like to quote the book “inferno” and there is a particular quote I use a lot:

“First we must cross the river,” Benito was saying.  “Do you believe me now when I tell you that you must not attempt to swim it, or even get wet from it, or must you try that too?”

“What happens if I just dive in?”

“Then you will be as you were in the bottle.  Aware and unable to move.  but it will be very cold, and very uncomfortable, and you will be there for all eternity knowing that you put yourself there.”

Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle Inferno 1976

I’m wondering if the Biden/Obama people are regretting their attacks on Tulsi or claiming she was a Russian agent or putting her on a watch list for flights.

I’m thinking they might now be realizing this could have been a mistake.


If you had to pick the single most significant thing that Donald Trump has said in the last several months I think the clip where Donald Trump talks about deciding not to go after Hillary after being elected in 2016 and then deciding that after all that was done to him afterward changed his mind.

I don’t think the left realizes just how strong a position they would be in if they just at worst treated Trump as a normal president or at best made deals with him during his first term.

I think if you wanted to know why they tried to kill him this week is it.


Yesterday CNN cut away from Gabbard when she started detailing the evidence that she referred to prosecutors over Obama.

the MSM is desperate not to cover this story and will do all they can to protect those who choose to remain in the bubble.

But as long as the wheels of justice keep turning there is no reason to think this will go on through the justice system for at least the next couple of years and if Vance wins in 2028 it’s not going to be killed.

Maybe CNN will decide to cover the story when people are put in jail.


Finally all of this continues to be a distraction from Trump’s repeated wins in the Supreme Court and on the economy and on the border etc etc etc.

He concluded three more trade deals, no illegals have been released in two months and the stock market is through the roof.

And to counter they have Colbert, Epstein and now trying to pretend that Trump has dementia?

If they’re in this shape today where will they be in six months, because trump will be president for another 3 1/2 years.

It will be fun.

I rarely drink but today I had a beer when I went out to eat around 5 pm and fell asleep just after the Redsox comeback against the Giants fell one base short. I woke up at 9 to find out the President had taken out three Iranian Nuke sties about an hour earlier and will give a speech in about 30 minutes to explain.

The Single most incredible thing about this attack was explained by Jennifer Griffin.

The text of the tweet:

FOX PENTAGON REPORTER: “In my 18 years at the Pentagon, I’ve never seen such operational security. There were NO LEAKS. NOBODY speaking about this. A complete blackout on information about Iran at the Pentagon for the last few days.” GREAT JOB, @SecDef Hegseth!

No leaks not a sausage from an operation involving hundreds if not thousands.

If you want to know why Trump and Hegseth fired so many people, now you know.

Democrats 1861: If Republicans ONLY stopped trying to enforce federal Law in the south the violence will end

Democrats 1957: If Republicans ONLY stopped trying to enforce federal law in Arkansas there would be no violence.

Democrats 2025 If Republicans ONLY stopped enforcing federal immigration law in LA there would be no riots.

Oh and in all three cases it involved Democrats flying non-US flags, Confederate the first two times, Mexican and for some reason Palestinian now.

Closing thought: Nothing says “organic protests not paid for or organized by Democrats & Democrat NGO’s like having to pass out American flags to change the bad optics of the first few nights.
