@WHarpine @bhweingarten We don't need your help understanding this.

What was the end result of Democrats’ DHS shutdown?

Zero ICE reforms, and ICE and CBP are now funded with an additional $70 billion through the rest of Trump’s presidency.

After negotiations fell apart in the Senate, Republicans simply went around Dems and funded Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda on their own, & Dems were powerless to stop it.

And this is *on top* of the money ICE & CBP already got in the One Big Beautiful Bill last year.

ICE & CBP now have more money coming to their coffers than they ever would have if there had been no DHS shutdown.

[Bill Melugin @BillMelugin_]

BREAKING: The House just voted 214-212 to pass the Senate's reconciliation bill to fund ICE and CBP with $70 billion over the next three years. The bill will now head to President Trump's desk for signature. Every Republican present voted yes, every Democrat present voted no. Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA) voted no.

Nithya Raman tied to HOMELESS NGO in L.A. receiving $600k, with thousands of homeless voters registered at shelters with ZERO beds.

I believe we found where Raman's magical mail-in ballot drops came from. U.S. Attorney launching probes into major fraud.

James O'Keefe and many others showed you that the homeless are being paid for votes. Direct link to Nithya Raman, St. Joseph Center received $600,000 in taxpayer funds from the homeless/housing committee while Raman was chair.

A photo of her presenting the check was quietly removed from the center's website after NY Post article. Raman's campaign and the center did not respond to questions.

7,600 voters registered at homeless shelters and service providers across LA. Midnight Mission, Skid Row, 1,160 registered voters, but the shelter only has beds for 84 men + 36 women.

St. Joseph Center, Venice drop-in center, 185 registered voters at its address, offers no beds or accommodations whatsoever.

Hundreds more tied to supportive/affordable housing projects, with nearly 200 added in the final weeks before the registration deadline.

Over 80 voters registered at four behavioral health/addiction facilities, Corner of Hope, Volunteers of America Alcohol Services, LA Centers for Alcohol & Drug Abuse, Homeless Health Care LA Harm Reduction Center.

313 voters tied to LA County social services facilities. Voter registration drives witnessed outside grocery stores, one homeless man, Norman, claimed he was paid to sign people up and saw cigarettes offered as incentives during "big push" efforts.

One registered voter, Bo Jackson, near Midnight Mission couldn’t remember registering and couldn’t name a single candidate in the LA mayor’s race.

The story ties directly into the heated LA mayor's race and major concerns over California's election integrity with clear ties to fraud.

SPLC President gets humiliated; room erupts in laughter.

Chip Roy: How many Islamic extremist groups do you have listed on your hate map out of the 1500 groups? I can’t seem to find one.

SPLC President: We don’t target groups based on their religion. It’s based on what they say about other people.

Chip Roy: You just mentioned anti-LGBT groups a minute ago. Is it your position that there are a bunch of pro-LGBT extremist Islamic groups?

Los Angeles County’s new 0.50% sales tax passed because of late-counted and late-arriving ballots.

It was supported by the very powerful SEIU.

County plans to use the funds to pay for healthcare, which is where many SEIU employees are employed.

Ballot harvesting to the very last minute is legal in California and Los Angeles, and every “registered voter” receives a ballot.

SEIU had the motivation to get this measure passed. It had the means. And it had the ability, since it’s just one county (with most of the population concentrated in one area).

You do the math on what happened.

[🐺 @LeighWolf]

The CA ballot saga just got worse!

I laid a trap and a Contra Costa County government official named Helen Nolan, along with journalists @sara_dinatale + @demianbulwa, walked right into it.

When they put together their hit piece on me in the @sfchronicle (link in replies), they didn't know that I received a SECOND ballot at the same address...but this one was sent to someone no one in my family has ever heard of...despite the fact that we've owned the house continuously since 1962...

Men are exactly correct here. You hate them based on a comparison between your own misunderstood past and a delusional understanding of a hypothetical.

Actually your reasons for hating men are less than nothing.

[AG @AGHamilton29]

In the last few months, PIJ and Hamas have been releasing obituaries on commanders killed during the war. Interesting to look back how those deaths were covered.

Ex:

In June 2024, Reuters reported on an air strike killing Palestinian soccer player Ahmed Abu Al-Atta. Now PIJ confirms he was a deputy platoon commander in the rocket unit.

[John C Ellis @Objectivist71]

The math renders this explanation stupid.

[nameless @nameless8qo]

@kausmickey It’s just that progressives were waiting for a consensus candidate for governor that never emerged. Hence they voted last minute. It’s REALLY not hard.

[John C Ellis @Objectivist71]

This is why even pacifist Christians must oppose all gun restrictions in all times and all but the very most sensitive places. Guns save lives.

Also, there was more about weapons in the apocryphal books not selected at Nicaea. Emperor Constantine, like all elites, was uncomfortable with weapons held by commoners. They are a democratizing force, as was Christ.

NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH — DAY 8

He had a clean shot.

He didn't take it.

The attack ended anyway.

Nobody covered it.

December 11, 2012. Clackamas Town Center mall. Portland, Oregon. Two weeks before Christmas, packed with families and strollers and shopping bags. Nick Meli, 22, was there with a friend and her baby. He also had a legally permitted .40-caliber Glock 22 under his jacket because he is an Oregon concealed carry permit holder who takes that quietly and seriously.

At 3:28 PM, a man in a hockey mask walked in with a stolen AR-15 and opened fire.

Nick got the friend and baby down, repositioned behind a pillar, and drew his weapon. The shooter — Jacob Tyler Roberts — was fighting a jammed rifle. Pulling the charging handle. Hitting the side. In that ten-second window, Nick took aim.

They made eye contact.

Nick did not fire. There was a bystander standing directly behind Roberts and the sight picture was not clean. So this 22-year-old kid, Christmas shopping on a Saturday afternoon, held his shot because he was afraid of hitting an innocent person behind the man he was aiming at.

Roberts saw the weapon. Roberts retreated to a back corridor. Roberts shot himself.

Two people were murdered that day — Cindy Ann Yuille, 54, and Steven Matthew Forsythe, 45. Nick Meli's words to KGW News Channel 8, the only major TV outlet that thought his role was worth covering: "I know after he saw me, I think the last shot he fired was the one he used on himself."

Seventy-two hours later — December 14, 2012 — Sandy Hook.

The same national media that gave Nick Meli thirty seconds of coverage on a Friday afternoon ran wall-to-wall Sandy Hook coverage for weeks, and used every hour of it to advance gun restrictions that had been sitting on legislative shelves waiting for the right emotional moment. Nick Meli was erased. The story of an armed civilian who stopped a mass casualty event by exercising exactly the restraint and judgment the gun control lobby insists civilians are incapable of — gone.

What are they going to do next — bury a story about an armed citizen stopping a massacre and then use the next shooting three days later to argue people should not be armed... wait. I was just told they already did that.

Day eight of National Gun Violence Awareness Month, and I am asking directly: WHAT EXACTLY IS THE AWARENESS CAMPAIGN NOT MAKING YOU AWARE OF?

On January 10, 1963, Congressman A.S. Herlong Jr. read 45 Communist Goals into the Congressional Record. Goal 3: develop the illusion that total disarmament is the only moral option. A nation that only ever sees the shooting and never the stopping is what Goal 3 requires. The Nick Meli story is a refutation of Goal 3, which is exactly why it disappeared.

— THE DATA THEY SKIPPED —

John Lott's "More Guns, Less Crime" — 3,054 counties, 18 years — found that one additional woman carrying a concealed handgun reduces the murder rate for women THREE TO FOUR TIMES more than one additional man carrying reduces it for men. Because the crimes committed against women almost universally involve a physical size disparity that a firearm eliminates completely. The policy that removes that firearm from a woman does not protect her. It takes away the best equalizer she has ever been offered and calls it safety.

Lott also documented the substitution effect: when carry laws pass, violent personal crimes fall because criminals shift to property crimes where the victim is not present. They would rather steal your car than confront you. Deterrence is real. It is visible in the behavior of the people it deters.

Two Supreme Court cases belong in every gun control conversation. DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989): the government has no constitutional duty to protect you from private violence. Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005): you have no constitutional right to have a protective order enforced on your behalf. The government that produced both of those rulings wants to remove your Nick Meli. Quinn's Law Number One: liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent.

But what do I know — I am only a combat medic who knows exactly how hard it is to move toward gunfire instead of away from it, and who has spent eight days of National Gun Violence Awareness Month making you aware of the things the awareness campaign decided you should not be.

🚨 ECONOMIC JIHAD IN FLORIDA....

Muslim-Only App GoMarhaba Is Openly Boycotting Non-Muslim Businesses to Build a Parallel Islamic Economy

Florida just became ground zero for a calculated economic power play.

The new platform GoMarhaba (https://t.co/HT4ZhP0Hk2 and app) isn’t some innocent “buy local” directory. It’s explicitly designed as a Muslim-only marketplace - a closed-loop system that redirects every dollar away from non-Muslim businesses and traps it inside the ummah.

Here’s how it works, straight from their own promo videos and site:

“Keep our money circulating within the community so we can build the strength that we need to effectively serve our faith.”

“A boycott, a section, then a redirect. Where do we go? To Go Marhaba.”

“Keep our money in-house and build autonomy in-house… This is the economic power that we need.”

The website spells it out: Muslim households buy from Muslim grocers → who hire Muslim accountants → who hire Muslim roofers, and so on. The goal? Make the Muslim dollar “circulate 10 times before it leaves our community” - rendering everyone else economically irrelevant.

Proof it’s exclusive:

When you try to list a business, the very first question is: “Is this business owned by a Muslim?” Pick “No” and you’re shut out. Non-Muslims are invisible. This isn’t community support, it’s engineered segregation.

Founder Hiba Rahim is Deputy Executive Director of CAIR-Florida. Yes, the same CAIR with deep ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-financing trial in U.S. history. The same CAIR that Florida is trying to designate as a foreign terrorist organization.

Promoters include former CAIR-FL's dangerous Hassan Shibly and terror-tied Imam Tom Facchine - both openly pushing the app.

This is the internal front of the strategy, the Muslim Brotherhood’s own 1991 memo described: build a “small Islamic society” inside the host nation - a self-sufficient “beehive” that doesn’t depend on the kuffar.

While CAIR demands “inclusion,” “diversity,” and taxpayer-funded programs, their operatives are quietly constructing a parallel economy that boycotts the rest of America.

This is economic jihad - severing ties with outsiders to amass power from within.

Florida is the test run. It’s spreading nationwide.

Wake up before the circle closes, and they'll boycott you out of existence.

Demand answers:

Why are CAIR-linked figures allowed to openly build boycott tools against American businesses?

Where’s the media? Where’s the outrage from “tolerance” enforcers?

Share this. Contact your officials. Support businesses that don’t exclude you.

Go local. Go American. Reject the fortress.

The CA Legislature tried to strike these words from the state constitution in 2020 (put there by Prop 209 in 1996). The voters smacked them down when 57.23% said NO—despite the YES campaign outspending the NO team by more than 14 to 1. Now they’re trying again—calling it a “clarification” instead of an effort to gut the provision’s application to public education. Don’t believe them. If approved by the voters, this would be a major change. The aim is to pave the way for the recommendations of California’s Task Force on Reparations. The Task Force wants to make college free to African Americans no matter how well off their parents are and to get school districts to fund individual schools based on the race of the students who attend.

@christopherrufo

[U.S. Tech Workers @USTechWorkers]

The judge who struck down the $100,000 fee argued that immigration laws do not authorize the president to impose what amounts to a “tax”.

Fine.

Then the administration should invoke Section 212(f) and suspend consular processing for new initial H-1B petitions instead. The fee was accomplishing essentially the same objective. Given the ongoing wave of layoffs across the tech sector and other industries, the administration would have a strong argument that such a suspension is necessary to protect employment opportunities for U.S. workers.

[Amy Reichert @amyforsandiego]

Multiple Spencer Pratt voters have contacted me saying their signatures were rejected and their ballots were not counted. Here is the letter they get.

More than 200,000 Californians have had their ballots rejected since 2020. This is what happens when you don’t require voter ID. If a machine can identify your party registration, people have every right to question whether the process can be manipulated.

People are asking me if I’ve turned into an election denier in the last 24 hours.

I still believe the Too Big to Rig strategy and crushing the will of spoilers works.

But, we are well beyond that in LA.

We are up against a well-funded operation that has been perfected over multiple cycles, in a City with no political will or manpower to build a competing system.

But that’s not even the main problem, even if we had the will, money, and people to do it (which we would have had Spencer made the runoff).

The main problem is they don’t play by the rules. Or if they do, they’ve bent the rules so far that the “rules” are just an illusion.

They can register anyone, to anywhere, and vote for them with or without their consent, without a process with any guardrails to prevent it, and without a paper trail to prove it.

That’s the issue.

I see it now.

[Mickey Kaus @kausmickey]

For those dismissing the possibility of fraud in CA vote, please remember that key protections we're told are built into the law turn out to be vaporous in practice:

--'You need to sign it' .... A mark or slash will do.
--'We check those signatures.' ... LA election workers told @jenlynncallahan they don't. https://t.co/svWWKDd6gu
--'Must be postmarked by Election Day' ... No! Fine print in regs lets voters self-date.
--'Ballot "harvesters" must sign the ballot envelope!' ... But the ballot's still counted if they don't.

All this doesn't mean there was fraud. Still ...

[Chris @chriswithans]

Wait a minute though. I'm just an unfrozen caveman so I don't understand the ways of this modern world, but the Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare's individual mandate was just a "penalty" instead of a tax. But Trump's $100,000 penalty on H-1B employers is now a tax?

[Disgraced Propagandist @DisgracedProp]

People demanding "proof" of election fraud are not understanding how crime works. I worked at Manhattan DA for over 2 years, one in Homicide. We never had video proof of the crime. We almost never had DNA. These are things that occur on CSI on TV, not in real life. And we still convicted people all the time.

What we had was testimony and circumstantial evidence. Travel times, bank records, cell phone data, gate access codes. Motive, capability, benefit, time and place. Never direct proof. Of course the defendant always denied the crime, but there was enough evidence to show that one had to have occurred nonetheless.

If what we have in the LA Mayoral election is a statistical anomaly that is beyond reasonable explanation with anything besides fraud, that is enough to prove a crime. This has been true since the beginning of Western Civlization.
