Good morning kids. Starting off on a sad note, screen actor extraordinaire Gene Hackman, who brought to life many iconic roles has passed away at the age of 95. This news comes just a few days after the passing at age 88 of equally talented R&B songstress Roberta Flack. Both feature prominently in the landscape of the memories of my youth in the 1970s. RIP and thanks for those great memories.
Now on to the news. As Trump continues to steamroll the Left and leaving them and their epicenter in the Democrat Party completely flummoxed as to respond, their natural instinct, beyond litigation is to lash out employing their typical tactics of subversion and even overt violence or threats thereof.
Last week Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) was interviewed by British journalist Steven Edginton of Britain’s GB News. After the conversation, Edginton mentioned Tucker Carlson, which caused Crenshaw to say the following that was captured on a 'hot mic.'
“We’ve talked a lot on Twitter,” referring to the exchanges he and Carlson have traded online, “If I ever meet him, I’ll f*cking kill him.”
. . . During the interview, he viciously criticized Carlson's stand against providing unlimited and unaccounted aid to Ukraine.
Yes, Dan Crenshaw is not technically a Democrat but his rhetoric, whether that could be construed as a legitimate death threat against TuCa or merely hot-under-the-collar schoolyard machismo blowhardism it demonstrates a mentality whereby when one cannot reasonably articulate a cogent and importantly persuasive argument for one's position, the default is to lash out in frustration. And as for Trump and his views on the Ukraine war, as CBD and I discussed on the latest edition of the podcast (here and in the sidebar),
regardless of the fact that Putin's invasion is inexcusable, to not seek an end to this bloody conflict for humanity's sake all by itself but to think that courting a disastrous miscalculation by going to war with Vladimir Putin is what the US must do is insane. Period full stop. And the argument that Putin is going to roll all the way to the English Channel and then cross the Atlantic to invade America is ridiculous. But the salient point is, no argument that goes against the accepted memes, shibboleths and beliefs of the Leftist globalist enterprise shall not be countenanced. And that extends to the mere presence of Donald Trump as President of the USA, regardless of the fact that what he is doing has broad support of long-frustrated GOP voters and even the much vaunted independents as well as some Democrats.
Anti-ICE protesters have been taking matters into their own hands by disrupting illegal immigration raids while publicly doxing the identities of federal agents. “Immigration rights activists have banded together to conduct patrols throughout Los Angeles communities and, in a few instances, have stopped raids as they were happening,” reported KTLA. One group of 100 volunteers, Community Self-Defense Coalition, interrupted ICE raids in the San Fernando and Alhambra areas. Video footage showed the volunteers driving up to the scene of the raid and saying, “There they are, there’s ICE, ICE spotted in Alhambra.”
The group says it patrols the streets to inform the public about ICE activity in the area.
“We denounce [ICE] and alert the community with megaphones,” volunteer Rob Gochez told KTLA. “We were there until the agents left. They didn’t kidnap anybody today.”
According to Fox News correspondent Bill Melguin, the anti-ICE protesters have taken to the extreme measures of doxing federal agents, putting their lives at risk.
Scratch the surface and somewhere in there has got to be La Gaza, Mecha, ties to Soros and someone like tarantula faced Raul Grijalva amongst many others. I surely hope Pam Bondi and Kash Patel have a slew of RICO investigations that target the multi headed Hydra snake heads of this evil Medusa.
A new letter released by the House Judiciary Committee reveals that under the Biden administration, an IRS contractor leaked the tax information of 405,427 taxpayers to news sources — including that of President Donald Trump. Yet Americans are supposed to be concerned about DOGE?
. . . According to a letter that Department of the Treasury Acting Commissioner Douglas W. O’Donnell sent to House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Feb. 14, Charles Littlejohn “inappropriately accessed or leaked” the information of 405,427 taxpayers, 89 percent of whom are “business entities.”
Littlejohn had previously been charged in 2023 for allegedly disclosing tax return information to two news organizations that were not explicitly listed. This taxpayer information was leaked to ProPublica, which used the data “to report its ‘Secret IRS Files’ series,” according to ProPublica.
“The vast dataset contained details on thousands of wealthy Americans, and ProPublica reported dozens of stories based on an analysis of it,” ProPublica said. ProPublica’s Editor-in-Chief Stephen Engelberg denied knowing the identity of the source when charges were made public.
To rejigger (racist?) the inanity of Jimmy Carter, who once declared we have an inordinate fear of communism (and then the Soviets invaded Afghanistan). My fear of Communism is not the kind that was based in Moscow but that took root in DC and became the Democrat/Leftist dominated Deep State.
No wonder the current normal seems abnormal to the status quo of the recent past.
Well, the Revolution certainly wasn't televised but will, as Victor Davis Hanson describes as the Counter-Revolution? Certainly not in anything resembling an honest accounting, despite Jeff Bezos' sacking of the WAPo's editorial chief. He is not interested in honest reportage that promotes the free market and freedom of expression. He wants to bowdlerize those high ideals to be used as weapons against Trump and his agenda.
They will fail, miserably. And must, pleas God. Stay tuned for Pam Bondi releasing some or the juicier bits of the Epstein files!!!! Oh boy.
