FAFO.

Many of us have posted on the No Kings rally today. To point out and laugh at the left's hypocrisy. How soon till we get the inevitable PPP post trying to claim that we are all 'obsessed' and 'whining' Who will post it ? .

Back to the NO KINGS topic. “No Kings” vs. the Democrat Deep State: They oppose Presidential power because they don’t want elections to matter. “That’s the true purpose of the Administrative State: to nerf elections and enable unfettered rule by unelected bureaucrats.” https://www.rodmartin.org/p/no-kings-vs-the-democrat-deep-state?

Is Race-Baiting Over? by John Hinderaker Heather Mac Donald optimistically declares “The end of the race hustle.” Heather’s article is long, and data-rich. I recommend reading it all. She credits President Trump with being uncowed by the Left’s accusations of racism, and offers hope that race-baiting no longer works: For decades, pointing out that any action, public or private, had a black target or fell disproportionately on black people was sufficient to discredit that action, regardless of whether it was couched in terms of race or had a racist intent. Want to fire an employee? Good luck if that employee is black; such a dismissal would be presumptively racist. Tempted to criticize a government official for alleged incompetence or unethical conduct? If that official is black, think twice, since blackness is used as a shield. Try to jail a serial violent offender, such as Brown Jr., who happens to be African-American? That would contribute to racial inequity. Is that description overdrawn? Maybe, but it describes a strong current in the reality that we have been living in. Criminal justice, in particular, has been badly compromised by race ideology: The idea that racial disparities in arrest and incarceration rates reflect discrimination and not disparities in criminal offending has been a staple of Democratic policymaking for years. The “systemic criminal justice bias” conceit has led district attorneys across the US to stop prosecuting and stop seeking jail terms for a host of crimes, simply because penalizing those crimes would have a disparate impact on black criminals. The “systemic bias” claims are false, but they have impaired public safety across America. Education is, of course, another area where racism has reigned supreme Much more at the links: https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/10/is-race-baiting-over.php https://thespectator.com/topic/race-hustle-is-losing-power/

BUT THE PARALLELS !!

Someone doesn't really want peace.................Guess who ? Hamas defends public executions of Palestinians, threatens fragile peace deal by refusing to lay down arms by Patrick Reilly Hamas defended the gruesome public executions it carried out against Palestinians earlier this week as the terrorist group says it has no plans to lay down its arms — throwing a massive wrench into the already tense peace negotiations with Israel. Hamas politburo member Mohammed Nazzal told Reuters that “exceptional measures” had to be taken when it carried out public killings in Gaza on Monday, which drew widespread criticism for their extreme violence. He claimed that those executed were criminals guilty of murder. Nazzal also refused to commit to Hamas disarming itself, which Israel has demanded as part of a peace deal. https://nypost.com/2025/10/17/world-news/hamas-defends-public-executions-of-palestinians-say-it-will-not-lay-down-arms-throwing-wrench-in-fragile-peace-deal/

NBC News Terminates Nearly 150 DEI Editorial Staffers from the Newsroom by Bryan S Jung NBC News will be terminating 150 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) employees who are responsible for "Black, Latino, Asian and LGBTQ+" coverage in the newsroom. The Wrap, in an exclusive, reported that NBC News was firing its teams dedicated to issues affecting those communities. NBC News executive vice president of editorial, Catherine Kim, announced the cuts to staff on the morning of Oct. 15. Kim claimed that the layoffs made things a “difficult day for a lot of us,” the Wrap reported. The Wednesday newsroom massacre comes as NBC News splits from its sister news network, MSNBC. The total reductions will cut about 7% of NBC News’ 2,000 newsroom staffers https://pjmedia.com/bryan-s-jung/2025/10/17/leftist-advocates-panic-as-nbc-news-to-terminate-nearly-150-dei-editorial-staff-n4944914 https://www.thewrap.com/nbc-news-layoffs-number-versant-split/

No Kings !, except for our sponsor.

IMPORTANT NEWS I can’t share the details on how @michaelgwaltz & @SecRubio have, in just a few days, organized the greatest opposition to UN policy since the Cold War and blocked this UN Carbon Tax. I can say it was a knife fight to the end. “I’ve been in this industry for 30 years and I’ve never seen anything like it,” one shipping executive told me today. “You just don’t say NO to these guys. It’s unheard of.” It’s unclear who “these guys” are, but I suspect the European families with shipping investments and net wealth that far exceeds Elon’s. Absolutely none of the maritime experts I interviewed early this week thought the US could pull this off. Zero. Massive amounts of money, NGO influence, diplomatic threa t and media manipulation were behind this… and the American media (except @gCaptain and Fox News) was dead silent. And yet Trump did it. “That Trump Truth Social post sent shockwaves through the building,” one UN delegate in London told me. “NOBODY expected it. The Secretary General @IMOSecGen looked like a deer in the headlights this morning.” Incredible. Simply incredible work by team Trump and a massive blow to the European deep state who planned to use this tax as a slush fund to plug holes in US Aid funding for globalist NGOs.
