The number of "trans women" killed in Chicago last year was zero. There were 416 murders.

Q: Will Democrats stop pretending that completely fake shit is the most pressing moral emergency of our time?

A: No

This kind of stupidity is going to become conventional wisdom among the staffer class of the Democratic Party, if it isn't already

David Friedberg: It's not rich vs poor, it's makers vs takers.

@friedberg:

“ The great lie is that there are two sides to society, that is the rich and the poor.

And the great truth is that there are two sides that are the makers and the takers.

The lie is that the rich are unfairly rich and the poor are unfairly poor, and therefore, the poor must take from the rich.

But the truth is that it's the takers that tell you that lie, that the real truth is that artists, plumbers, electricians, woodworkers, computer scientists, people that build, people that make from all walks of life, all income levels, all wealth brackets, are the makers.

And the takers are what Sacks calls this intelligentsia, the analysts, the espousers, the armchair mechanics, the critics, the commentators, the politicians. They are the takers.

They are the people that watch the rest of society make stuff, build stuff, specifically doing things that create value for other people in society. That's what a maker is.”

It genuinely amused me that people think replacing Starmer will make things better.

From Boris Johnson's election onwards, we've been shuffling the bollards on the Titanic.

You have to actually change direction if you want to avoid crashing into the iceberg:

- End Net Zero
- Make business viable again
- Get welfare under control
- Fund defence
- Ensure equality under the law
- Arrest criminals and keep them in jail
- Deport illegal immigrants and close the border
- Bring the civil service to heel

Burnham will become as unpopular as Starmer within months since he isn't going to do any of that.

Of course, the design of the key to the city puts "Zohran Mamdani" in giant letters and "New York" in small print. Very typical

This isn't a mayor. It's a PR personality

The correct reasons for doctors to refuse to chemically castrate and dismember confused children caught up in an online social contagion that has brainwashed them into believing they were born in the wrong body is:

-- There has never been an evidence base supporting such objectively harmful practices
-- Basic humanity that prevents them from stunting the maturation or cutting off healthy body parts off of children
-- Common sense and grounding in reality

But fear of criminal charges will have to suffice in this case.

Imho I think it’s time for you sir to flip the script until you get back your Blue Dog Democrat party from the hostile, dangerous hostage takeover of your Democrat party by the DSA. The DSA and the commie corridor is scaring the bejeezus out of the old school Democrats if you’d ask me.

He’s ignoring you and your constituents on purpose and it’s quite clear.

I hope New Yorkers Wake Up in time.

15 members and associates of Direct Action Minnesota (DAMN) have been charged with various federal crimes, including conspiracy to impede a federal officer, multiple counts of interstate stalking, interstate threats, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, multiple counts of assault on a federal officer, and destruction of government property.

“As alleged, these defendants, which included members of Antifa groups, engaged in an unrelenting campaign of harassment and violence targeting federal and local law enforcement,” said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. “Their actions created a dangerous environment that threatened not only their intended targets, but the community as a whole. These arrests demonstrate the Department’s commitment to law and order and stopping organized political violence in Minneapolis and beyond.”

The People’s Forum’s Manolo De Los Santos has reached the “unironically rooting for Iran in the World Cup” stage of anti-Americanism.

The State Department has tied The People’s Forum to a CCP influence operation. And yet they are still operating openly in the United States.

[Western Lensman @WesternLensman]

Brandon Johnson is asked about the guy who set up the burning cross in Chicago:

“It's a painful reminder of how hatred towards black Americans still permeates in our society."

It was actually an Asian socialist’s protest against MAGA. Other than all of that, dead on, Mr Mayor.

NEW: California is pressuring utilities to award $633 million in contracts to state-certified gay businesses.

In order to qualify as officially gay, applicants can provide letters from "personal contacts" attesting to their sexual preferences.

The Open Drug & Booster Market lives on, there was a plan to shut it down, and it has been working but the way it looks now. It’s a free for all anything and everything must be sold.

California is turning UC Berkeley (whose professors won 4 Nobel Prizes last year) into remedial school. No SAT for admissions and a new mandate to make everyone's "outcomes similar."

No mention of excellence.

This is how bureaucrats kill the nation’s best public university.

Hello Senator....

This November it will be 50 years since you were first elected to Congress, so we want to be the first to say .

"Happy 50th Anniversary of drawing a taxpayer funded salary."

That is quite an achievement.

In fact - you are 2nd longest-still serving member in Congress.

It has been a long time since you held a private sector job.

AND yes 50 years ago - in 1976 (it was America's Bicentennial that year) - people still punched clocks back then. The world has changed a lot.

During your 50 years in Congress - you watched as the creators and inventors and producers changed the world, creating trillions in new wealth, millions of new jobs and dramatically raising living standards for everyone rich and poor alike.

And for 50 years you have voted to raise taxes and regulate and oversee every move of the private sector.

You have never created or invented or produced. Just taxed and regulated and outraged.

But thank you for using the platform the "TRILLIONAIRE class" has provided to the entire world for free to tell us all how disgusted you are.

We would never know otherwise.
