ANOTHER ONE.

Just look at the board today, I have posted on the Middle East Peace situation. The government "Shutdown" The Supreme Court debating redistricting Jack Smith updates Media fake news. US bombing drug smugglers Transgenders failing. Voter fraud. And the usual suspects on this board have spent the entire day pushing a Politico story about young republican jackasses spouting foolishness on a chat board. (and when you point out the hypocrisy of their excusing someone actually proposing murder online, they say that you are deflecting ) .

It's almost like these people have no critical thinking skills. Translation: I’m not good enough to compete against my peers, but I’m a complete narcissist who is not above stealing opportunities from women to feed my ego!

OMG.

There's an outstanding quote at the end of Bull Durham, when Susan Sarandon's Annie Savoy comments on the skyrocketing success of Tim Robbins' dimwitted pitcher, Ebby Calvin 'Nuke' LaLoosh: 'The world is made for people who aren't cursed with self-awareness.' If that line isn't Kamala Harris to a T, then we don't know what is. Of course, Harris is also not cursed with intelligence, articulation, or sobriety, but we digress. Recently, Harris has been making the media rounds, desperately trying to rehabilitate her image as an abject failure, and it's not going well. But don't tell that to her. She thinks she's doing great. In fact, as she told Kara Swisher, she thinks she is superior to any other presidential candidate in American history. Just ask her: LOL. Move over, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan. Kammy's got you all beat. Someone needs to tell her that the voices in her head after her third box of wine don't count as 'some people.' https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2025/10/15/lol-kamala-harris-was-the-most-qualified-person-to-run-for-president-says-kamala-harris-n2420382

As we told you earlier this week, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth wasn't exactly upset to see many media outlets protest the Pentagon's new press policy by wrapping themselves in the First Amendment and refusing to sign. Hegseth waved goodbye. Here are a couple of examples: When other credentialed outlets and journalists spread lies about the Russia collusion hoax, or the Covington kids hoax, or the Kavanaugh rape hoax, or the Ukraine impeachment hoax, or the COVID-19 natural origin hoax, or the peaceful BLM riots hoax, or the suckers and losers hoax, or the Hunter Biden laptop hoax, or the Biden’s-brain-is-totally-fine-you-guys hoax, The Federalist fearlessly reported the truth. Corrupt corporate journalists published lies and regurgitated regime propaganda and were given awards. We published facts and the truth, and the U.S. federal government responded by waging a global war of illegal censorship against The Federalist. They profited from lies, while we were punished for reporting the truth. Where were these self-styled First Amendment defenders when we were illegally censored and targeted for debunking Deep State lies and hoaxes? Many of them not only refused to defend us, but cheered the illegal censorship efforts against us. NBC News, for example, colluded with Big Tech to demonetize and deplatform us for criticizing the government and the corrupt corporate news media. So you’ll have to forgive our skepticism of corporate media’s ostensible new love of press freedoms and the First Amendment. We actually read through the new Department of War media access guidelines, and we found zero new restrictions on the ability of journalists to report on or criticize the government. Many corporate journalists eager to grandstand will claim otherwise without evidence, but we will show you what the actual document says. MORE AT https://x.com/seanmdav/status/1978494207032541682?

“OH, SHUT UP” IS ABOUT ALL I HAVE LEFT TO SAY ABOUT OBAMA: Obama Accuses Trump of Wanting to ‘Steal’ and ‘Rig the Next Election’ https://pjmedia.com/scott-pinsker/2025/10/14/obama-accuses-trump-of-wanting-to-steal-and-rig-the-next-election-n4944870

GO BEYOND THE SCARY HEADLINES: Pentagon Reporters Are Losing Their Press Credentials Today: Here’s What’s Really Happening. “The new rules will restrict reporters’ physical access to people and locations within the Pentagon, reorganizing newsroom space in the building, and, in some situations, reporters will require an escort to move around certain parts of the building. This is standard procedure in most military installations, and, for that matter, just about any private company or organization in the country.” https://pjmedia.com/tim-o-brien/2025/10/15/pentagon-reporters-are-losing-their-press-credentials-today-heres-whats-really-happening-n4944881 But these 'principled' media outlets won't agree to this, so out they go. .

No decision yet, but the outcome seems likely. Principal Deputy Solicitor General Hashim Mooppan just completely silenced Sotomayor's argument for Louisiana's second black majority district: "If these were white Democrats, there's no reason to think they would have a second district. What is happening here is their argument is because these Democrats happen to be black, they get a second district. If they were all white, we all agree they wouldn't. That is literally the definition of race subordinating traditional principles."

The Israel / Gaza conflict is over for now. The hostages have returned and a tentative peace is holding. Hamas, who have been hiding in civilian clothing behind their women, have suddenly come out and are now executing Palestinians. Some are executed for 'collaboration' with Israel, others in clan power struggles. The question on a lot of people's minds is where are all the super-vocal Western voices now? You know, those who were so upset about the 'genocide' they stormed campus building, tore down Israeli hostage posters and constantly demonstrated for 'Ceasefire Now' with neatly preprinted placards. Hamas are executing Palestinians in the street… where are the placards??? where are the virtue signaling celebrities??? https://twitchy.com/gordon-k/2025/10/14/hamas-killing-palestinians-west-yawns-n2420351

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Public Health Destroyed Its Own Credibility Long Before RFK Jr. Arrived. FTA: We need spend little time remembering the unscientific, patronizing and erroneous advice and dictums issued from the medical and scientific establishment regarding the coronavirus during the pandemic. Social distancing, masks, school and business closures — almost all of it was unnecessary. These totalitarian measures saved relatively few lives, cost our nation trillions of dollars, and imperiled the educational and social development of an entire generation. Yet who, exactly, has admitted their errors or paid any serious price for their disastrous “expert advice” and “recommendations”? The unflappable and unrepentant Anthony Fauci has paid no price for his errors, nor has former Planned Parenthood president and WaPo contributor Leanna Wen. Admittedly, I myself am a bit hesitant when it comes to RFK Jr.’s medical assessments and recommendations, which also seem to sometimes lack sufficient evidence and rely more on foregone conclusions about the harmful effects of certain drugs or foods than unbiased, longitudinal research. That said, to accuse him of eroding public distrust in our nation’s medical establishment is risible. RFK Jr. didn’t vitiate the medical establishment’s reputation. They did it to themselves.

Sorry, Democrats, You Can't Shame Us Into Submission Anymore They say that desperation is the world's worst cologne. And the Democrat Party is more drenched in it right now than that one guy in the club back in the '80s who used an entire bottle of Drakkar Noir every Saturday night. If you missed it yesterday, Politico tried to throw a Hail Mary to Jay Jones and the other Democrats who refuse to disavow his murder fantasies by leaking some group chat messages from some young, college Republicans. I am not here to defend the things those young kids said in private (some of the messages were pretty ugly), but, as Vice President JD Vance noted last night, nothing in those leaked messages even remotely approached what Jones repeatedly said to another Virginia legislator about how he dreamed of seeing Republicans and their children dead. https://twitchy.com/grateful-calvin/2025/10/15/sorry-democrats-you-cant-shame-us-into-submission-anymore-n2420376

The Absurdity of #NOKINGS David Strom I absolutely, positively understand why liberals dislike Donald Trump's policies. He is, after all, reversing so many of the policies they love, and they have every right to object to them. But seriously, folks, get a grip. Donald Trump is not trying to be a king, and your biggest complaint is that he is actually enforcing immigration laws passed by Congress, which your preferred president did everything to subvert. The great martyr to freedom most celebrated by liberals in the media is a wife-beating human trafficker who may, or may not, be deported after a long, drawn-out legal process. Sure, there are clashes in the streets between ICE officers and Antifa activists, but those are on Antifa. A U.S. senator was briefly handcuffed because he charged the Secretary of Homeland Security while concealing his identity as a Senator (he revealed his identity AFTER he was detained). When there is a legal dispute about a presidential action, the courts get their say--and, usually, the Supreme Court eventually rules in favor of the president. The images we see from Pravda are enough to incite outrage, of course, and the carefully curated stories are designed to bring tears to the eyes of the emotionally incontinent. I wrote about the prevalence of the sob story over the full story yesterday. Propagandists are good at that sort of thing. But the #NOKINGS shtick? Come on. If Donald Trump were a king, there would be no court battles. There would be no government shutdown. The Senate Democrats wouldn't be able to put roadblocks in Trump's way. The courts wouldn't be in a position to even delay, let alone deny a presidential diktat. It is all so tiresome. As tiresome as the newfound ability to diagnose senility in presidents. Democrats who solemnly assured us that Joe Biden was sharp as a tack are now screaming to high heaven that Donald Trump is mentally and physically incapable of being the president. As many have noted, the Democrats are the party of the third-rate theater kids who believe that being overly dramatic is the same as being convincing. And, admittedly, there is a segment of the population who are touched by the drama. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/10/15/the-absurdity-of-nokings-n3807855
