Folks, remember we have been blessed with Somali immigrants. They were legally imported through the official refugee pipeline, which we paid for…
Now ask yourself a simple risk management question. What kind of decision maker looks at Mogadishu, clan warfare, collapsed institutions, open defecation, and zero environmental norms, and concludes that moving a large cohort of that population into American towns will somehow produce Minnesota or Maine outcomes instead of Mogadishu outcomes?
Here we are getting the early proof of concept.
A pristine New England river is being treated as a free laundry facility complete with detergent runoff that kills aquatic life and ruins a hundred years of American conservation.
This is not isolated, odd behavior. It IS the visible tip of a cultural operating system that does not share our baseline assumptions about public goods, property, hygiene, or the future.
You do not import the aliens and leave the culture behind. The culture travels with them. THEIR way of replicates.
The only mystery is why anyone still pretends otherwise.

Disgusting Muslim Majority City Council REFUSED to denounce SHARIA LAW!!!!
I note that Cinema United, the movie theatre's national trade association in the United States, issued a letter today addressed to both David Ellison, Chairman and CEO of Paramount Skydance and to the Honorable Rob Bonta, Attorney General of California, on behalf of the various states who have joined with California.
In the letter, Cinema United called on the two parties to sit together and find a mutually acceptable resolution to Paramount’s plan to acquire Warner Brothers Discovery. Cinema United apparently has come just now to the same conclusion that I came to fully four months ago.
As I have repeatedly said and written since April, a weak movie slate is a far greater threat to movie theatre operators and to moviegoers than is a strong studio.
Of course, I also believe that it is wise to have in hand certain protections that will: assure a sizable number of films, that are well marketed, are shown in theatres first and for a reasonable period of time, along with continued access to film libraries and status quo economic splits between film distributors and film exhibitors.
But it has been my experience that Paramount has been willing to make and even guarantee such assurances. Indeed, since April, Paramount to its great credit has been putting those policies into place right now, already.
At this juncture, then, the choice is between the two parties soon reaching an amicable settlement between them, or instead waiting in limbo for at least seven to eight months or more, until the results are known from a trial that is not scheduled to be held until March of next year.
Our industry can not wait that long.
In 2026, the box office is finally booming, after six long years of the aftermath first from Covid in 2020 and then from the Hollywood labor strikes in 2023. There is a grave risk that delay now will be another unfortunate or unnecessary disruption to the movie business. At the worst, Paramount and Warner each may be partially paralyzed if they have to wait for this cloud of uncertainty to dissipate. Or at best, they only will be distracted and slowed down from seeking that desired optimal outcome of creating more movies to hit theatre screens in the near and medium term.
What’s more, the staggering cost of all the legal wrangling is mind-boggling, and will divert monies that could be going to film makers and which instead will be going to the lawyers representing these warring litigants or to Wall Street arbitragers holding WBD shares.
Business leaders across any and all industries will always say that protracted uncertainty or disruption will be unsettling. Worse, it often sparks unintended consequences that far too frequently produce truly negative developments, sometimes devastatingly bad ones.
I wholeheartedly endorse that the two parties, Mr. Ellison of Paramount and Attorney General Bonta of California, along with their respective teams, seriously engage together and immediately solve this conundrum.
Now is the time for wisdom, safeguarding affected constituencies for sure in the process.
If you know your biblical history, I am hoping for a King Solomon to emerge, perhaps both of the key players eventually rising to share together such a vaunted throne.
Patience, buy and accumulate at low prices. Go see a movie buy some popcorn and drinks, merchandise etc. We weren’t wrong apes, we were just early. breathe, let our CEO cook. We’re gonna win and we’re gonna be so fucking rich!
We try so hard to be expert in what we usually do so well, devoted as we are to pleasing hundreds of millions of guests in our theatres each year.
Today, though, as Dune 3 tickets went on sale, the crushing volumes briefly slowed or glitched our online ticketing systems.
Indeed, AMC experienced extraordinarily high demand, particularly for premium format presentations and for some of our most desired locations.
Ticketing traffic across AMC’s website and mobile app reached levels approximately three times higher than what we experienced during the Spider-Man: Brand New Day ticket launch, which itself followed strong advance sales for The Odyssey ticket launch before that.
It’s not that our systems totally failed. We have been selling enormous numbers of tickets today, but when any of our customers experience less than our best, it is just not right.
It’s a high class problem to have such staggering demand, but even so it is intolerable and inexcusable. It just can not and should not happen, because as AMC is the clear market leader, you deserve better from us.
There was much discussion internally ahead of and preparing for the Dune 3 launch. We thought we were ready, but we weren’t.
I am told that about $2 million of IT programming resource will let us fully address the issue. Of course, that money has been approved already, and we’ve asked our IT team to move at a whirlwind speed to take whatever steps are needed so that our ticketing systems are — in all situations and in all quantities —again top shelf.
If some of you experienced delays or intermittent issues while attempting to purchase tickets today, we encourage you as potential AMC guests to retry your purchase, as inventory remains available at many locations and showtimes.
We appreciate our guests’ patience and enthusiasm, and we are very encouraged that so many moviegoers are excited to secure their seats for one of the most anticipated theatrical releases of the year.
Dune 3 will open on December 18.
I FOUND IT!
This is an Election Judge training video for Carver County, Minnesota, from 2024.
“Do not ask to see an identification card.”
“If a voter presents identification, thank the voter & inform them that an identification card is not required if they are registered.”
“Have the voter confirm their name & address; point to the oath & have them review the oath. Instruct the voter to sign their name.”
Election fraud in Minnesota is as simple as knowing someone’s name, address, & signing a signature.
No ID is required.
Our elections are broken.

*Note: ID isn’t required if you’re registering to vote via vouching — “You are the ID.”
BREAKING
1 registered Minnesota voter can vouch for up to 8 persons (without an ID).
In St. Louis County (Duluth, MN), 737 of the 13,375 voters that registered to vote on Election Day in 2024
“proved their residence through vouching.”
737 / 13,375 = 5.5
👉5.5% of voters that registered to vote for the presidential election in ONE county did so via vouching👈

CAUGHT INSIDE MINNEAPOLIS POLLING BOOTHS: Minnesota Poll Workers Tell O’Keefe, Dressed in Muslim Garb, & @camhigby, in a Burka, That They Can Vouch for Eight Unregistered Voters Without ID, Allowing Them to Vote in Minnesota Primary Election
Election worker says, “You’re the ID,” referring to the registered voter serving as identification for the people they are vouching for.
Election worker confirms O’Keefe’s question about unregistered voters being vouched for: “I can vouch for them. They are not registered… That’s okay. That’s fine. Yeah!”
Election worker explains that a registered voter in the same precinct can vouch for up to eight people: “If you’re all in the same precinct and you are already registered, you can vouch for them as ID. Eight people.”
More reports coming soon from the Justice League. @realmuckraker@anthonyjrubin@camhigby@ctznjusticelg
Thank you Margarita Cielo Balbuena.
You have lived in the United States since 1989. That is 37 years. You still need a translator.
At a Democratic event you stood up and demanded a path to citizenship for anyone who has been here just 7 years.
Notice the arrogance. Notice the entitlement.
After nearly four decades she still cannot function in English. Yet she feels perfectly justified demanding the full rights of citizenship for herself and millions of others who have not assimilated either.
This is the system working exactly as designed.
We have imported so many people so quickly that assimilation is no longer required.
Critical mass creates ethnic silos where English and the host culture become optional.
You can live your entire life here without learning our language or our way of life and still demand the right to vote and rewrite the country.
That is how America becomes balkanized and unrecognizable.
Mass deportations are the only policy that restores the pressure to assimilate.
Everything else is just managed decline.
