Iran: Distant Second in "Terror Attacks"

The propaganda emitted by.........ahhh..........certain 'special interests'.......in the US would have you believe that Iran is 'the leading state sponsor of terrorism.'  That claim is repeated endlessly (which is one of the leading signs of propaganda.  Surprise!!)

Anyhow, the US Government's very own index makes Iran into a second-rate "sponsor."

...The place to test the claim is the data the State Department itself publishes — the statistical annex to Country Reports on Terrorism, and before it Patterns of Global Terrorism, the congressionally mandated series that has catalogued international terrorist incidents year by year since 1990. When you actually read those tables, a different picture emerges from the one sold on cable  [read:  FOX] news. ...

Year after year across 2004–2023, the most active and lethal groups are Sunni: the Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram, al-Qaeda and its affiliates, al-Shabaab, the TTP. On the order of nine in ten attacks in the reporting trace back to Sunni extremist actors operating out of the Salafi-jihadist tradition. None of them answer to Tehran. Most regard Shia Muslims — Iran very much included — as heretics, and target them accordingly. ISIS has spent years at open war with Iran and its allies....

It's not just the US State Department, either.

 ...A separate French dataset, compiled by FONDAPOL over a longer 1979–April 2024 window, lands in the same place. The five deadliest Islamist groups over that period account for better than 80 percent of all victims of Islamist terrorism — and every one of the five is Sunni: the Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram, al-Shabaab, and al-Qaeda....

FYI, the Sunnis are in charge of Saudi Arabia.  Those of you with memory know that Saudi Arabia is the home-country of Bin Laden.  The people of New York City remember his name. 

The LONG Story on Schiff, Fang-Fang, Swalwell, and the FBI

 As usual, the Last Refuge has the long story, neatly told.

 Here's a graf you must remember:

 ...The FBI has two basic missions.  The #1 primary mission is to protect the interests of Washington DC officials from the outcome of their own conduct.  The #2 secondary mission is to protect the American people from known wolves....

The FBI knew about the Red Chinese penetrations of the Senate and House for decades.  Decades. 

You'll come across the acronym "SSCI" in the post.  That's the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Note VERY Well:  Marco Rubio was inducted into that very committee. 

Even More "DOOM! DOOM! DOOM!" on the MMR

 Childers points out the WaPo DOOM DOOM DOOM headline--which is not really supported by the actual numbers.

 ...our first unintentionally hysterical story, published in the Washington Post yesterday afternoon, seems like pretty good news. As the dramatic headline said, another record has been reached— and it is the public health establishment’s worst nightmare: hesitation. But the story was actually the latest example of public health using fear manipulation and kids as props to sell jabs....

What?  You mean that the Highly-Trained Professionals at WaPo were......fiddling with words??

Yes, indeedy!!

... U.S. kindergartners who invoked school vaccine exemptions in the 2025-2026, which nudged up by a tiny fraction (0.6%), increasing slightly from 3.6% to 4.2%....  With the non-dramatic exemption increase of only six per thousand, it’s not like pediatricians were staring at empty offices wondering where all the kids went....

But the Post took that single statistical blip, grabbed its Thesaurus of Alarming Words, and went to town, catastrophizing this barely detectable 0.6% movement as a “sharp increase” that “extends a years-long erosion” as “the country battles its worst measles resurgence in 35 years.”...

If you've paid attention, you have noticed the VaxxNanny of Wisconsin flapping his jaw about THREE recent cases of measles in Wisconsin.  He's easy to recognize, as he was haranguing citizens about the REAL NECESSITY OF MASKING, DISTANCING, and ....above all.......TAKING THE SinoSinusVaxx.  He was joined in another news propaganda story featuring a woman from Childrens' Hospital and Transsexual Mutilation Center, singing the praises of the MMR.  

So there's no doubt about it.   Really.  We MEAN it!!

It is not co-incidence that the WaPo story and the appearances of these doctors show up at about the time Big Pharma expects to sell the Hell out of shots.

So there's no doubt about it.

Right?? 

How To Pay College Tuition in PA

 We thought college tuition has been ridiculously high since about 1990.

Credit some frat-boys from Penn State for finding a way to pay it!

 More than a dozen Penn State frat brothers were busted for running a complex cocaine trafficking ring out of two separate fraternities that forced young pledges to cut and bag the drugs then sold to students, according to prosecutors....

Used to be marijuana, but the profits weren't as good. 

Crime WAAAYYY Down. Blame Trump.

 It's not just Milwaukee that's seen a decrease in violent crime.

It's national.  There is a reason:  Donald Trump.  

 

...CBS briefly nodded at “a hard-line approach to public safety,” including “immigration crackdowns” and National Guard deployments to big cities. Even CBS’s hostile (but “nonpartisan”—just wait) crime expert, Adam Gelb, grudgingly conceded that “the detention and deportation of people with criminal histories and charges” helped lead to “tens of thousands fewer high-risk individuals on the streets.”

This, Gelb allowed, may contribute to lower homicide numbers. You think?

CBS did not mention the closed border. It omitted all of the other crime-fighting policies, like Trump’s crackdowns on cartels, gangs, and Antifa. On his first day in office, Trump signed two crime-related executive orders. One of them, titled “Protecting the American People Against Invasion” ordered Homeland Security task forces (HSTFs) to every single state to “end the presence of criminal cartels, foreign gangs, and transnational criminal organizations.” The second directed the State Department to start designating FTOs. By February, Tren de Aragua, MS-13, and six more cartel gangs were designated as foreign terrorist organizations....

Less criminals in the country, less crime in the country.

That gives rise to a question:  what is the Democrat Socialist David Crowley strategy? 

A Reminder to Catholic Charities & Bishops

It is true that not all Muslims are raging killers and rapists.

It is also true that North Africa--before the Muslims overran it--had three hundred Catholic dioceses.

So we lift a couple grafs from this essay:

 

...One of Christianity’s great strengths is its respect for the dignity of every human person, religious or otherwise, as a child of God.  The Church serves that dignity with exceptional skill in her support for migrants.  This is an essential part of our faith.  But a family – and the Church is a very large family with a very specific Biblical faith – has its first obligations not to strangers but to its own members’ health, safety, and future. Otherwise the family ensures its own extinction.

When the Church allows herself to be seen as more concerned with strangers of alien (and historically resistant and unfriendly) faith than with the needs of her own people – the people who will bear the cost of unrestrained immigration – she colludes in her own disappearance....

Keep that in mind, you "charities" and Bishops.  Actual Catholics certainly will. 

Josh Kaul vs. WI Drivers' Safety

 If you, or your spouse, or your children, or your grandchildren drive a car, Josh Kaul wants to make it easy for them to get killed or maimed.

Kaul doesn't give a rotten damn about YOUR safety, which makes him the diametric opposite of Eric Toney, who, thankfully, is running against Josh.

What makes us think that Li'l Joshie-Poo doesn't give a flying damn about your on-the-road safety?

...  the blue states don’t want DHS or the American people to know how many illegal aliens are driving on CDLs....

Li'l Joshie-Poo is spending YOUR money on this lawsuit.

...The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) previously issued subpoenas for approximately 17 million commercial driver’s license (CDL) records, which has led to a legal battle involving multiple Democratic run states.

A coalition of 22 blue states is now suing the DHS, claiming that the demand for this sensitive data is part of a broader effort to create a “nationwide surveillance system” and that the DHS lacks legal authority to access such records. The lawsuit argues that the data could jeopardize drivers’ privacy and violate federal privacy laws....

Or, as LR puts it:

 ...The coalition argues DHS has no legal authority to demand the truck drivers’ license records and would jeopardize drivers’ privacy if they receive them.

American citizens are not permitted to know who and how many illegal aliens are operating dangerous trucks on the roadways.  The privacy of the illegal aliens is paramount to the safety of the American citizen motorist....

 No wonder Kaul is hiding under his bed instead of campaigning out in the open, eh?

 

Some People Are Hired to Hector You

 Never thought of it this way, but it's true.

... Hectoring is, of course, an employment opportunity for bureaucrats. One can well imagine how much good they think they are doing by reminding people to beware of slippery floors when it rains and to bring an umbrella, to keep hydrated in hot weather, to wrap up warm in cold, to arrive in good time to catch their train without having to hurry, not to be abusive or use racist language. ...

And he didn't mention the Glorious HectorFest of Covid19!

How much money is wasted by hiring these nagging twits?

Trump Wins Again on TPS. So Do We!!

Good news.

 

A Massachusetts-based Obama judge on Friday lifted her stay in a case brought by Somali holders of temporary protected status (TPS), clearing the way for the Trump administration to begin deporting them.

The Supreme Court decided in a related case that the judiciary had no power to review the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) termination of TPS for Haiti and Syria....

That judge-ette knew all along that SCOTUS had ruled in favor of the USA (and Trump) previously, but issued her stay regardless.

Now ICE can take out the garbage. 

The "Don't Tell!!" Press

Not an unusual story.  Guy from Indiana shows up in MKE, steals three diamond rings from three different stores, gets caught.  He's also a felon-in-possession of a weapon.

Goes to trial, found guilty.  Ho-hum.

Here's the very interesting part:

...A Milwaukee County judge sentenced Timothy Dodd to one year of probation. The judge originally sentenced Dodd to two years in prison plus an additional two years of extended supervision, but then stayed that sentence and opted for probation.  ...

First question:  why doesn't Fox6 identify the judge?  By the way, one VERY RARELY finds the name of the judges who issue light-to-nonexistent sentences (like the above one) in "the news."

Why not?  Why hide the judge?  Who made the "Don't Tell" rule here??

Second question:  why the Hell did that judge lift the prison sentence and go for probation?

Why Hong "Lost"

 The Marquette Poller, Charles Franklin, theorizes that "older" (D) voters--who show up at the polls, (unlike the under-30 crowd who answered Marquette's calls)--simply would not have a Socialist Communist running on the (D) ticket.

His explanation seems to be corroborated by this tidbit:

... "El-Sayed is underperforming with Black voters, women, and suburban voters compared with former Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election....

 That post also has a warning for hard-right (moronic) Republican candidates, by the way.  JD Vance is not wrong.

Crowley's Motte & Bailey Gambit

David Crowley is just as radical a Leftist as is Francesca Hong.  The only difference is how they say it.

This is the "motte & bailey" game, explained in this short video.

She has the full-blown "I am a CRAZY" bailey position.

He holds the "I am NOT so crazy" motte position.

 

MKE Election Staff: Functional Illiterates?

 As was clearly demonstrated by Channel 58's video, staff at the Milwaukee Election Commission are apparently functionally illiterate--that is, they cannot read.

Milwaukee Public Schools. 

 

Huckabee (!!) Decries Israeli "Terrorists"

 For some strange reason, this item was not mentioned by ANY "news" outlet except NPR.  Of course, that could mean that it is not true, but who knows........

 Israeli settlers have besieged three homes in the occupied West Bank, including one owned by a Palestinian American. U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee referred to the settlers as "terrorists."...

The report is audio, not text.  Go to the link.

This is not the first time Israeli "settlers" have harassed Christians or Muslims on land owned by the latter.  This IS Zionism in practice:  keep taking land.  Just take it.  God told you to, or sumpin'sumpin'.

 

The Pentagon Problems

Not that long ago, it was The Pentagon Papers.  Now it's the Pentagon Problems.

Leave aside the reported fungus-laden showers/no soap/filthy water problems reported on that $KaZillion dollar aircraft carrier--and note that Hegseth has never denied those accusations.

How about the General Dynamics scam?

 A major U.S. defense contractor received more than $500 million from U.S. taxpayers for an artillery-shell plant that produced not “a single usable shell.”

Investigative-reporting website ProPublica revealed that General Dynamics received that boatload of money to produce shells at a plant in Mesquite, Texas. It hired a Turkish subcontractor that provided malfunctioning equipment that did nothing but break down....

Need some salt for that wound?  Here it is: 

...Not so shockingly, the catastrophic failure is linked to the war in Ukraine, where many if not most of the shells were destined to go. So U.S. taxpayers were fleeced for yet another foreign war in which the United States has no interest....

General Dynamics has refused to send the $500 million back.

But they pinky-swore cross-their-heart-promised to "discount" future purchases to make up for it.

Yup.  They did.  So STFU, rube. 

Hey, Pete!!  Where's the CLEAN AUDIT of your outfit? 

WI Dept Health Svcs Shilling for Big Pharma......Again

The DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM-screechers are back!

 Wisconsin health officials are reporting a sharp increase in measles cases in Iowa and Lafayette counties, with 15 confirmed infections and six probable cases identified as of Thursday morning....

These are FAR MORE DANGEROUS AND DOOM-ISH CASES than the thousands of cases which occurred in decades before (e.g., the '50's) which left hundreds dead on the streets a few victims with pock-marks and about one week of missed school.  You understand that, right, peasants??

Since the DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM-screechers no longer have Covid (a nasty flu developed by US scientists at UNC-Charlotte and in a leaky lab in China) to screech about, they're moving on.

Notice that the emphasis is on clearing the shelves of the MMR vaxx--the one which the US HHS has suspicions about?

Hmmmm? 

The ever-reliable Big Pharma ally Ryan Westergaard--who pushed the FauciVaxx line--is not embarrassed at all about his CoviDOOM bleatings (he never apologized, did he?) is back for more TeeeeVeeee time.

He takes himself seriously.  Why don't you?? 

 

Yoo Hoo!! Calling Josh Kaul!!!

 In case you've forgotten, Josh Kaul is (nominally) Wisconsin's Attorney General.

But he's not particularly interested in the easy cases like this one in Texas:

... Late last week, the Houston Chronicle reported, “Texas Children’s Hospital must provide free ‘detransition’ care under settlement.” You could not unfairly describe the settlement as ritual humiliation. Paxton is cutting the hospitals’ woke, defiant berries off....

It's quite a "settlement."

...On top of paying the state $9 million, TCH must also pay the legal fees of the whistleblowing nurse, Vanessa Sivadge, who turned them in. Vanessa also gets nearly $2 million from the state’s settlement for being the whistleblower.

Next, the hospital must permanently bar five gender-bending doctors who worked there. Buh bye. Best of luck in your future endeavors. They’re professional pariahs now. And the hospital must release a public statement admitting it illegally provided gender transition care, and take down a previous online statement denying all wrongdoing that claimed the system was only settling “to protect our resources from endless and costly litigation.”...

Children's Hospital of Milwaukee was blatantly celebratory about its "transition" butcheries.

Hello, Josh!!  Are you still awake in there?? 

 

Fitzgerald "Proud" To Compromise US Military

Fitzgerald knows his place, and it's not really representing the citizens of Wisconsin.

 Congressman Scott Fitzgerald (WI-05) issued the following statement after voting to pass S. 1071, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026.

“I was proud to vote for the FY26 NDAA as it advances President Trump’s mission to keep America strong, secure, and dominant on the world stage...

B as in Barbara, S as in Streisand, Scottie, you chunky Pubbie. 

 ...A provision tucked into the House Armed Services Committee’s draft version of the Fiscal Year 2027 defense policy bill could move the U.S.-Israel military relationship beyond traditional aid and into a far deeper form of defense-industrial integration....

Oh.  

And more to come!  The Senate version (Tom "Jerusalem" Cotton-pushed) includes mandatory INTEL-sharing with Israel.  Since few--if any--countries want Israel's eyes on their intel, they will stop sharing intel with the US.

Great!

And how will such a ridiculous (and seditious) provision pass?  

Simple:  the Senate will tell Trump that he gets SAVE if and only if he agrees to the Israel intel-share, and hammers such "representatives" as Fitzgerald into agreement.

See how that works? 

 

Where the Hell is the Navy's Money Spent??

Lots of Americans think that the US Navy is the finest navy in the world, bar none.  And they pay a Helluvalot of money for it, too.

Ummmmnnnhhh...

...Military families and members of Congress are sounding the alarm about the hellish conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln. The vessel’s 5,000 sailors and Marines have spent nearly 300 days at sea and will likely remain in the Middle East for as long as the globalist quagmire in Iran continues. They are suffering because America’s feeble leaders cannot bring themselves to stop fighting Israel’s wars.

How bad is life on the USS Abraham Lincoln? Really bad. The Navy Times reported this week that numerous sailors have tried to kill themselves during their extended deployment, and the massive aircraft carrier reportedly has moldy showers, broken toilets, and no soap, deodorant, or toothpaste.   ...

If I were Hegseth, I'd fire a dozen or so flag officers, cut the Navy's R&D programs for "advanced ships"  and use the money for a crap-ton of P&G products and a few dozen plumbers.  Then I'd charge-back the plumbing repairs to the shipbuilder who f****d this up to a fare-thee-well, and add a penalty of $10 million--which I would distribute to every enlisted sailor on that ship. 

The Air Force One Waltz: Fake "Intel"?

Trump took the word of Netanyahu's intel outfit, abandoned AF1 and used a different plane to exit Turkey.

Israeli intel said AF1 was a target on that trip.

Really?

 

...The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the CIA did not trust Israel’s claims, saying the agency viewed them “as low confidence.” Some officials went further by suggesting the point of Israel’s report was to manipulate Trump into baselessly viewing Iran as a threat to America’s homeland. One former official said the warning “fit a broader pattern of Israeli intelligence reporting that some officials see as designed as much to shape presidential decision-making as to inform it.”...

Dunno about that.  Israeli intel told Trump that taking down Iran's government would be a one-week walk in the park.  So obviously, Israeli intel never............oh...............wait............ 

"Moderate" Crowley, Eh? The Lying Press....

 We think Moderate Crowley likes Thanksgiving, although he's never said so publicly.  Note well:  the local Propaganda Press will call Crowley "moderate".  They're lying.  

Let's hope that Tiffany calls it like it is:  Crowley is another radical race-mongering anti-cop socialist.

 David Crowley, the Milwaukee County executive who pulled off a stunning upset over the summer’s socialist surge, has blamed systemic racism for police shootings, opposed legislation to protect law enforcement, and declared Wisconsin the worst place in America to raise a black child....

And he's emphatic about it!  This, after the Jacob Blake (felon-in-possession/resisting) shooting:

...“Make no mistake, Blake’s wounds are the result of systemic racism, the policies and practices that entangle our institutions and produce racially disparate outcomes, regardless of the intentions of the people who work within them,” Crowley said. “It’s the reason why Wisconsin is ranked as the worst place to raise a black child, why child poverty in the Black community is markedly higher compared to their white counterparts, and why Milwaukee County ranks as 71st healthiest county out of 72 counties in the state.” ...

No small irony that Crowley yaps about "health" after hiring a DEI candidate to run the health-insurance program for Milwaukee County, which DEI candidate let the damn policy lapse for 30 days because..........stupidity.

And after securing a major tax-hike (sales tax enhancement) for the County, Crowley STILL runs a deficit while his public transport enterprise slowly goes totes Communist: pay more for less service and be happy, comrade.

Yes, there's more!  Crowley wants abortion as a Wisconsin Constitutional Right.  He wants (only) a $15.00 minimum wage.  (Moderate!!)  How about unlimited immigration and NEVER co-operate with ICE, even to remove criminals?  Force poor black children into continued (moderate) illiteracy?  

So how shall we phrase this?  

Moderately Incompetent and Racist!! 

Trump-O-Nomics: Another Victory for Americans

Looky here!  Seems like Trump's economics benefit WORKING-CLASS Americans.

 

Ford Motor (F.N) plans to move production of some Lincoln models from China to the U.S. beginning in 2030,...

...Gasoline-powered ​cars and electric vehicles imported from China are subject to hefty duties. The U.S. tariff on the Lincoln Nautilus, ​the main vehicle Ford imports from China, is 52.5%...

Think Buick will move its Envision out of Red China?

Or is Mary Barra too pig-headed to do that? 

FauciGrants Still Developing Killer Viruses

Fauci may have departed the Government, but his works continue to live!!

Shi Zhengli, the Chinese virologist whose years of bat coronavirus research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology made her one of the most scrutinized scientists in the world after COVID-19, did not disappear.

She moved on to another powerful Chinese state laboratory, where she is now helping train a new generation of coronavirus researchers....

...A 2026 doctoral recruitment notice lists Shi as an adviser in pathogen biology with a research concentration explicitly described as “pathogen discovery/coronavirus.”

Another 2026 doctoral program, jointly operated by Guangzhou Laboratory and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, lists Shi as an adviser for “pathogen discovery and cross-species infection risk research.”...

Nice to know she/Shi is still working, no? 

 ....In 2024, Shi was among the authors of a major Nature study titled “Design of customized coronavirus receptors”. Her affiliations on the paper included both the Wuhan Institute of Virology and Guangzhou Laboratory.

The study developed engineered receptors that allowed researchers to study a range of coronaviruses....

And the US taxpayer is still paying her!!  Sweet!!

 ...Its acknowledgments list multiple awards from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, including P01AI167966, DP1AI158186 and contract 75N93022C00036, along with NIH instrumentation grant S10OD032290. Those American awards were credited to University of Washington coronavirus researcher David Veesler.

NIH records identify P01AI167966 as an NIAID-supported University of Washington project. The Seattle Structural Genomics Center for Infectious Disease also identifies 75N93022C00036 as federal NIAID funding....

Natalie Winters is a gift to us all.  She finds this stuff.

Now..........where's that Rope & Tree with Fauci's name on it? 

 

Sen. Kennedy Wins the Year!

Kennedy is a war-monger Senator.  But he has great lines.

Check this one:

 ...Republican Sen. John Kennedy unleashed on former Vice President Kamala Harris Monday, chiding the potential 2028 candidate for desperately cozying up to “Lulu Lenins” — unveiling a new nickname for democratic socialists that quickly went viral online....

That would be Francesca, alright. 

TWO Measles Cases. DOOM DOOM DOOM DOOM

Big Pharma pays the bills for Da Nooz, so two measly cases of measles (yup, I went there) are now BIG NEWS.

This is a nation of wimmins. 

Crowley Eh? "Human Error", Eh?

Amusing.

Milwaukee's "central count" facility had a "human error" with its memory-sticks.

Then Crowley won. 

Kroger to Americans: "Drop Dead"

 Kroger (locally, Pick'N'Save and MetroMarket) just told 5,000 American IT peeps to drop dead.

 

Kroger, the largest operator of traditional supermarkets and a very large employer in Cincinnati, is moving their entire "capability" department to India.

They're doing it because a job that currently pays over $100,000 a year here in the United States pays under $40,000 a year in India.  This is likely to lead to 5,000 or more of those higher-paying jobs disappearing from Cincinnati and elsewhere across the country....

Meijer and Woodman's look better every day. 

Babykiller Fauci

 Not a surprise.  Fauci's babykilling is an integral component of Leftism.

...The actual spontaneous abortion rate for women vaccinated in the first trimester was a stunning 82%. However, the CDC and healthcare administrators manipulated the data adding 700 women vaccinated in the third trimester to improve the statistics.  ...

He'll get his own special corner of Hell. 

"...But Muslims Hate You"

Surber is so damn good....

Here's a quote from his column of today.

... Eight years ago [Abdulrahman Mohamed El Sayed] sought the Democrat nomination for governor of Michigan. In a May 10, 2018, Michigan Press Association gubernatorial forum, Abdulrahman Mohamed El Sayed, said to Republican candidates, “You may not hate Muslims, but Muslims hate you.”...

Frankly, we've seen that in a Muslim (former) neighbor.  Never said it, but always had the look in his eye.

And that hatred is NOT reserved to only politicians of the Pubbie variety. 

Hong Is a SCUZZY Nutbag

The Democrat Party of Wisconsin deserves Hong as their nominee.

 One year before Wisconsin gubernatorial hopeful Francesca Hong called to "Cancel Thanksgiving" in October 2019, the socialist state representative, who is a professional chef, hosted an event she dubbed a "Feast of the Feminine," a "6course [sic] dinner inspired by menstruation." An invitation posted to the events website Eventbrite describes the "feast" as a "celebration of menstruation with conversation and dinner." It also lists a menu featuring on-theme ingredients like "Soondae-Korean blood sausage."...

We can't even...... 

The NFL's Greed Problem

Since the '60's, the NFL has been on a roll.  Lots more fans, lots more Big-Ass TeeeVee contracts, and lots more moola for the players.  (Today's minimum pay:  $800K/season.  In 1965, established and good players got about $12K/season, plus $200/pre-season game.  The DOL inflation calculator says it should be around $120-130K.)

But there are clouds on the horizon.  The NFL's gradual move to "fee-to-view" television instead of traditional over-the-air 'free with ads' is not popular.  The NFL's mimicking of Big Baseball's ultra-luxe stadiums-for-socializing is also drawing fire.

Especially in Buffalo.  Read the story.  You won't believe it..... 

Silly, Stupid, or Subversive? America's Catholic Church

 This damning essay by Cliff Kincaid popped up today, and it complements a discussion we are having with a friend about Communism.

 The socialists are taking over the Democratic Party but they are already in firm control of the American branch of the Roman Catholic Church, which gave us “Obamacare,” the bankrupt health care scheme, and is now promoting open borders and LGBTQ ideology....

...I attended a local church in the Washington D.C. area on Sunday and heard prayerful “intentions” for the victims of “climate change-inducing” wildfires and Haitians being “forced” to return to Haiti. Both claims are part of the “progressive” playbook and designed to undermine the America First policies of the Trump Administration.

In the church bookstore I found a book, “A Home for All: A Catholic Call for LGBTQ Non-Discrimination.” The book’s back cover features an endorsement from retired Bishop Thomas Gumbleton of Detroit, who revealed that a priest molested him in the 1940s when he was a 15-year-old seminary student....

... A September 25-27 “pilgrimage” will seek “to bring together LGBTQ Catholics, allies and those who minister to them both in New York City and abroad” by praying at “important LGBTQ sites,” such as the Stonewall National Monument, the scene of anti-police riots at a Mafia-run gay bar....

The silly(?) stupid(?) subversive(?) claims about "climate" and "refugees" undermine science and common sense, respectively.  Kincaid reminds us that the Communist government of Haiti came to be in 1986.  That was Clinton-era, and we'll bet a dollar that it was the Deep State/CIA that fomented the revolution making that happen.  (Knowing Hillary, that meant that the new Government of Haiti lined the Clinton Foundation's Hillary's pockets with millions of dollars.)

The Archdiocese in question is run by +Joseph Lori, who has a reputation as a 'moderate,' in contrast to, say, Cdl. "Cupcake" Cupich of Chicago or the horrible, terrible, disaster called +McElroy in D.C.

Kincaid also reminds us that the Church officially tolerates the most pro-homosex Jesuit in the world.

...A September 25-27 “pilgrimage” will seek “to bring together LGBTQ Catholics, allies and those who minister to them both in New York City and abroad” by praying at “important LGBTQ sites,” such as the Stonewall National Monument, the scene of anti-police riots at a Mafia-run gay bar. ...

To get around to that email convo with a pal......

Following the latest outburst of Communism (the DSA) in Wisconsin and nationally, we mentioned that in the Good Old Days--only a half-dozen decades ago--the Catholic Church was unalterably opposed to Communism, and often said so.  The most articulate opponent was Bp. Fulton Sheen, but popular reading materials, priests, and Catholic childrens' books were filled with anti-Commie materials.  There was a very good reason for that:  Communism is atheistic.  Period.  Full stop.  All the other evils of Communism, including its Statist penchant for mass murder, flow from that foundation.  

Maybe it's just co-incidence, but a few events happening at more-or-less the same time drew down the curtain on the Church's anti-Communism.  + Jos. Bernardin (of Windswept House fame) became the CEO of the United States Catholic Conference.  Vatican II happened.  And LBJ signed legislation which--arguably--prevented churches from preaching about "politics."  (The legislation is totes un-Constitutional and flat-out ignored by "progressive" denominations, but....)

My pal and I remembered the work of Fr. Cletus Healy, SJ, who published thousands of tracts on the evil that is Communism (The Truth About Communism) and was shunned by nearly every other Jesuit for his trouble; in effect, he was a hermit within his own community. 

Clearly, the Church was off the rails, and needs a good kick in the ass from the Faithful.  Write your Bishop and let him know that it's about damn time for his priests to blow the smoke of Satan out of the Church. 

Your children will thank you for it. 

 

Trump's Onobtainium

 There is such a thing as "Unobtainium."  It's called 'nuclear fusion energy.  And Trump's media enterprise is tossing money into it.

 ...One previously announced new venture, nuclear fusion, will continue. McGurn said Trump Media hopes to close a previously announced merger with energy company TAE Technologies by the end of the year.

"We continue to believe it's the single most important driver of long-term value for this company," McGurn said of the fusion business....

Good luck with that. 

Axelrod Meets Kettle

 Apparently this Lefty activist never bothers with mirrors.

...political analyst David Axelrod declared that President Donald Trump has no standing to make medical judgments while discussing the executive order modifying the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule. ...

He's at least as qualified as Axelrod. 

Trump-o-Nomics, Part Two

 Naturally, the MSM emphasized a net/net job loss from the July report.  What they did NOT tell you was that the loss resulted from a large decrease in "public employees" (schools, plus Fed/State/Local).  They also did NOT tell you about the increase in private, non-agricultural, jobs.

They certainly did not tell you about the increases in "Durable Goods" manufacturing employment, because that would have confirmed that Trump's tariffs had the desired effect.  Sadly, a NeverTrump fanatic refuses to believe the numbers, preferring his lying eyes or sumpin'sumpin'.

How good is the plan and its effects?

 ...Durable goods manufacturing added 18,000 jobs in July, its best month of the year. Over the three months through July, durable goods payrolls rose 44,000. Motor vehicles and parts accounted for 7,900 of the July gain. Machinery added 2,600, fabricated metals 2,500, and computers and electronics 2,900, including 1,700 semiconductor jobs.

During the first four months of the year, durable goods added 28,000 jobs, an average of 7,000 a month. May, June, and July produced 44,000 jobs, an average of nearly 15,000. The pace of hiring has more than doubled.

Durable goods payrolls have now risen in every month of 2026, adding 72,000 jobs and averaging better than 10,000 a month....

But there's more!!

 ...Production workers in durable goods logged 42.3 hours a week in July, up from 41.3 a year ago. Overtime rose to 4.1 hours from 3.7. Manufacturers are adding workers and working the ones they already have longer.

And this is paying off for manufacturing workers. Average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory employees in durable goods rose 4.7 percent over the year, against 3.2 percent for all private workers. Add the longer week and weekly earnings for those workers climbed 7.2 percent, beating the rate of inflation by 3.7 percent....

And there are many, many more jobs available in the private sector, especially in the trades.  You won't see that in the MSM, either. 

Cdl Cupcake Cracks Down on Old Rite

 +Cupcake (a/k/a Cupich) is making life miserable for the St John Cantius priests.

Reports are (not yet confirmed) that new priests in that Order will NOT BE ALLOWED to celebrate Mass in the Usus Antiquior, although priests already there will continue.  Obviously, after 10 years or so, the Old Rite celebrations will vanish at that location.

Sad.  St John Cantius is a marvelous church, attracts a large crowd every week, and also has a terrific Sacred Music program to go along with its Mass.

It's possible that +Cupcake will leave office and his successor will not be a Mean Girl. 

More Sean Duffy, Please!

 Northwoods Common Sense, and we are all winners!!

Duffy has made it a REQUIREMENT that one has English-language proficiency in order to obtain a CDL and pilot an 80,000 lb. truck down the Interstate at 70 MPH.  That's something that Democrats didn't bother to do, and there are a number of serious tragedies--death and severe/permanent injuries--attached to Democrat policies.

 But that's not all.

Duffy has nearly resolved the Air Traffic Controller shortage, too-and it will be totally resolved before Trump leaves office.

Those X-Box kids will be earning about $160K or more in three years, which should be enough to keep them in Doritos for quite some time. 

Margaret Brennan's Full B*tch Mode

Amusing, in a very sad way.

Margaret Brennan (See BS) refuses to admit that See BS, et.al., were in any way responsible for violence surrounding the Fake Medicine HQ--CDC--post-Covid. (6:00 ffd.)

That's her second Full B*tch instance on this show.  Prior (3:00 ffd), she went Full B*tch about the measles vaxx, instructing Americans that they MUSSSSSHT Vaxx and YOU VILL LIKE IT! while pretending to address a very competent health official.

The TeeVee is losing its little mind over the truth. 

Nah, we don't watch this crap.  Last Refuge does, earning much merit in the Genuine American constellation.
