Wow, Kamala Harris really is a next-level anti-semite IMAO

We have to say that IMAO stuff for legal reasons. 

Meanwhile, this is also a form of campaigning by Shapiro, don't forget that. 

Shapiro: Harris Staff Questioned If He Was Israeli Agent

Toluse Olorunnipa, Atlantic

 

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro was already irritated by what he describes as “unnecessarily contentious” questions from the team vetting him to be Kamala Harris’s running mate when a senior aide made one final inquiry: “Have you ever been an agent of the Israeli government?” ...

After Harris and Shapiro sat down, in a dining room that had been cleared of most furniture other than two chairs and a table, there was little in the way of small talk or pleasantries. Each described the conversation as blunt, lacking the traditional warmth of two people trying to determine if a four-year partnership would work. Their discussion was especially tense when Harris asked Shapiro if he would apologize for some of his comments about protesters at the University of Pennsylvania who had built encampments to decry Israel’s military campaign in Gaza and, in some cases, intimidated Jewish students.

Shapiro wrote that he “flatly” told Harris that he would not. ...

Bankruptcies in 2025 surge to a level not seen since 2010

 

Corporate bankruptcies surged in 2025, rivaling levels not seen since the immediate aftermath of the Great Recession, as import-dependent businesses absorbed the highest tariffs in decades.

At least 717 companies filed for bankruptcy through November, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence. That’s roughly 14 percent more than the same 11 months of 2024, and the highest tally since 2010. ...

More. 

Trump likes to trumpet the billion$ he's collecting in tariffs, but there is no single report which calculates the hundreds of billion$ these bankruptcies must cost the economy over time.

 Four ICE detainee deaths in four days spark alarm as arrests grow

... The recent deaths bring total detainee deaths to 30 in 2025, the highest number since 2004, when 32 people died in ICE custody. This year’s total includes two detainees who were killed after a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility. At least two others died this year, according to ICE, but not in immigration detention.  

Nearly 66,000 people are in detention, according to ICE data, a record high, and the Trump administration is seeking to spend $45 billion to expand immigration detention after receiving an infusion of cash from Congress. ...

But they did kill them all, including the survivors which is a war crime, and they're murderers because the drug runners are noncombatants

If the US military is allowed this completely novel idea that it can kill noncombatants, THEY CAN KILL YOU.

 They're also conspirators who tried to cover up their crime.

Admiral says there was no 'kill them all' order in boat attack, but video alarms lawmakers...  

After the September 2nd debacle, they changed their policy about survivors, which shows they knew all along that they were wrong to kill the survivors on September 2nd.

There were survivors of the sixth attack, on October 16th. Those survivors they recovered and repatriated.

That incident was reported as the first known case of survivors because they covered up that there were survivors on September 2nd.

These people know they committed murder on September 2nd and they tried to hide it. Now they're madly spinning.

What Trump is doing is wildly illegal, wildly un-American. 

U.S. military detains survivors of latest boat strike near Venezuela: The operation is the sixth known attack on alleged drug smugglers in the Caribbean, and the first known to have left some people alive.

Rasmussen Poll: 51% of Young Voters Back Democratic Socialist for '28

Hey, I thought young people were going all MAGA?

Re-read Tucker here, or here. He was already highly critical of the feckless Trump in December 2018, who can be nothing but a transitional figure.

I first said Trump was a transitional figure in July 2018. I just didn't know how long the transition would be. And I still don't. 

But merely transitional he must be. There's no there there. He has no vision thingy, but he does have plenty of people still trying with all their might to pour their vision into him.

The reason is simple. He's empty, and their attempts simply underscore it.

Old man Trump is not attracting a movement like Reagan did. That's what really ticks off the anti-Boomer Cons.

The guys in the military who actually have to do Trump's killing for him in the Caribbean Sea know that what they are doing is wrong

 White House blew past legal concerns in deadly strikes on drug boats

 ... In recent weeks, junior officers in the military, fearing potential legal exposure, asked military lawyers, known as judge advocates general, for written sign-off before taking part in strikes, said two people familiar with the matter. It does not appear that such memos were furnished. ...

Trump knows it, too, which is why he's getting rid of all the lawyers and military officers who tell him so.

Too little too late: Sean Davis of Federalist and Daily Caller fame says Republicans have no accomplishments, young people have no hope

 

... Republicans right now have no accomplishments, no plans, and no vision. Why on earth would anyone be excited to go vote for them 12 months from now? ... You cannot have a viable country or future when half your country and all its young people are locked out of the economy and locked out of ever owning a home or much of anything beyond next month’s streaming subscription. ...

Quoted here. 

Yeah, well, you should have thought of that sooner, because the way these things work it takes a Herculean effort to get just one or two important things of consequence done when you become president, and you have to get started right out of the box.

Obamacare was one such thing for Democrats. It's still here fifteen years later, and Republicans have no alternative to it except to try and kill it, and they can't even do that, same as in 2017.

This is Groundhog Day, all over again.

Erick Erickson repeats the myth that Trump cannot turn out the vote unless he is on the ballot

 Seen here:

“Lame duck status is going to come even faster now,” Erick Erickson, the popular conservative blogger and radio host, wrote on social media. “Trump cannot turn out the vote unless he is on the ballot, and that is never happening again.” 

Turnout for Democrats was YUGE yesterday.

Trump did that:

In Virginia, 59% of the electorate said cuts to the federal government had affected their finances, and two-thirds of those voters backed Spanberger, who is on pace to win by 14 percentage points, the largest victory for a Democrat in a Virginia governor’s race in decades. A full 37% of the electorate said they cast a ballot to oppose Trump, with 99% of them voting for Spanberger. 

Trump keeps escalating the domestic militarism in order to foment unrest where none exists, so that he can justify federal martial law if unrest does occur

Trump wields the military like it's his own personal plaything, just itching to violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

Meanwhile those liberal fanatics at the American Enterprise Institute have really gone off the deep end in their Trump derangement.

 

Pentagon readying thousands of 'reaction forces' as DOMESTIC missions widen...

Troops across country being trained for civil unrest...

 

... Trump has mobilized thousands of National Guard members in D.C., Los Angeles and Memphis, with deployments to Chicago and Portland, Oregon, delayed by court decisions. He has claimed unfettered authority to deploy military personnel onto American soil, including active-duty troops, which by law are prohibited from performing law enforcement duties except in extreme cases or if the president invokes the Insurrection Act.

 

... “They are increasing their ability to mobilize National Guard forces, federalize them and use them over the opposition of localities and governors,” said Kori Schake, director of foreign and defense policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute.

 

... While the courts have at times contested Trump’s domestic military deployments, Congress has abdicated its oversight responsibility, Schake said, prompting larger concerns of institutional decay.

 

 “They’re behaving like a parliament, not like a presidential system,” she said. “And it’s going to break the American order, our constitutional order, if Congress and governors can’t check executive power.”

Ministry of Truth: DHS propaganda videos routinely lie about chaos in American cities to prepare the people for active duty military deployments, paid liar admits it was only in a few lol

 Trump administration uses misleading videos to portray chaos, push deportations

The Department of Homeland Security posted a swaggering montage to social media in August declaring it had triumphed in its takeover of Washington, D.C. It showed footage of federal agents fighting what a DHS official called a “battle for the soul of our nation” and working “day and night to arrest, detain and deport vicious criminals from our nation’s capital.”  

There was one problem. Several of the clips had been recorded during unrelated operations months earlier, in Los Angeles and West Palm Beach, Florida. The official’s sound bite about deportations in D.C. played over a clip from May showing detainees on a Coast Guard boat off the coast of Nantucket, the Massachusetts island 400 miles away.

Officials in President Donald Trump’s administration have used similarly misleading footage in at least six videos promoting its immigration agenda shared in the last three months, a Washington Post analysis found, muddying the reality of events in viral clips that have been viewed millions of times.

Some videos that purported to show the fiery chaos of Trump-targeted cities included footage from completely different states. One that claimed to show dramatic examples of past administrations’ failures instead featured border crossings and smuggling boats recorded during Trump’s first term. 

The Post provided DHS a detailed list of videos featuring misleading footage. DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin did not dispute the errors or explain what had happened but said the videos were a small percentage of the more than 400 that the agency has posted this year. ... 

A White House video claiming Chicago was “in chaos,” which used footage from other states, has been viewed more than 1.4 million times across Instagram, TikTok and X. ...

But the pattern of misleading clips in their news-style videos amount to more than just minor editing errors, said Eddie Perez, a former director for civic integrity at Twitter, now called X. Instead, they suggest that the administration has worked to undercut criticism by pumping out videos that could deceive Americans about the scale or success of their policies, transforming government channels into propaganda tools. 

“What we are witnessing is the collapse of government accountability through communication based on facts,” he said. “They’re not trying to communicate actions and outcomes. They’re acting like filmmakers, trying to make people laugh, to make them feel scared, to inspire certain emotions regardless of the truth.” ... 

 

 

Democrats are aghast at the lack of coordinated pushback from their GOP colleagues against the Trump administration's aggressive incursion into the power of the purse

The GOP wants autocracy, and boy are they ever giving it to us, in the name of cutting duly authorized spending of already appropriated funds.

It's pure madness, a complete abnegation of the constitution, brought to us by the GOP.

It would be unpatriotic to ever vote for them again.

 

... “I believe that we don’t have a choice about reducing spending,” said Sen. John Neely Kennedy (R-Louisiana), a member of the committee. “The only time I’ve seen us reduce spending from the 10 years I’ve been here is through a rescissions package.”

The administration’s “aggressive” incursion into the power of the purse follows decades of members of Congress ceding their authority to the executive on other matters like tariffs and war powers, according to Molly Reynolds, an expert at the center-left think tank the Brookings Institution. But the appropriations process — although messy and increasingly partisan in recent years — had remained generally free from the reach of the executive branch. ...

... Triumphal arches were widely used by the Romans to commemorate victories. Those Roman arches inspired more recent structures in Europe, most notably the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which was constructed in the first part of the 19th century. The models displayed in the Oval Office closely resemble those structures, inspiring some online commentators to joke that the new monument would be “the Arc de Trump.”...
