Ha Ha!! Eff You, Coppers!!

This improves my mood considerably. Stick it!Too many fat oinking pigs costume-playing w/ too much bullshit "tactical" gear for the usual shitty made-by-idiot-Americans work. Check the load limit next time, you fucking fascist incompetents.

Round-Up Time For Laura Loomer!

Diseased, deluded & depraved mind, or loud-mouthed witch desperate for attention? Why the dichotomy? Both, & much, much more. One would not want to crawl around inside that brain. Or listen to the podcast. Hell, Loomer's tongue should be in a cast.

“I mean, it would be a lot easier to just mass deport Muslims and start to use military force to round them up. I mean, really, honestly, it would be much easier. It would be much easier, instead of having Americans relocate. It would be much easier to actually start using military force to start raiding mosques and removing these people from our country. I mean, that’s what needs to happen. They need to be removed from our country with force.”

— Trump ally Laura Loomer, on her podcast.

Can anyone give examples of "having Americans relocate"? Surprise, it's bullshit. Over 10% of the sheep move every yr. One of those American "freedoms". Like hate speech, & lying through your teeth at the top of your lungs on the iNternet. Someone get a net & a tight white coat for Ms. Loomer, please.

Get In The Streets, Sheep!!

Hundreds of people in Pakistan took part in nationwide protests and marches organized by the Islamist political party Jamaat-e-Islami on Sunday against rising fuel prices, high taxes, and soaring inflation. (AP video by Jahanzaib Aurangzeb)

Not a woman to be seen. C'mon America, it's not as if you have anything to lose, show these Islamist pigs how to do it. Men, women & children, pitchforks & torches! Insurrection now, insurrection tomorrow, insurrection forever!!

Jack Crosbie / Rolling Stone:
How Trump's War on the Left Will Come for the Center  —  The far-left activists catching charges set a dangerous precedent for mainstream liberals  —  By and large, when my parents go to a protest, I don't worry about them.  Over the past few years, they've attended several of the large No Kings demonstrations in Fresno, California.

Norman J. Ornstein / New Republic:
The Republicans Are Going to Kill People—but Not Until After They Vote  —  One of Ronald Reagan's most famous lines, referring to disarray in his White House, was, “Sometimes the right hand doesn't know what the far-right hand is doing.”  More appropriately for the Trump White House: “Sometimes the far-right hand doesn’t know what the radical lunatic right-wing hand is doing.”

In the Big Beautiful Bill, the GOP put off Medicaid cuts until after midterms. America is about to find out why.

Hix in Stix to get exactly what they voted for, good & hard!NB: Rolling Stone's website sucks hard. Fuck them & their pathetic incompetence.

Thursday's Terror Threats

"May Be Severe & Lead To Death"

Nothing is even worth the effort of a threat. I won't waste my beautiful mind by acknowledging all the horrible things all of the awful people do for which they should all be threatened & terrorized. Speaking of which, still exhausted, enervated, run down & barely able to function, because I've been terrorized & threatened every day of my existence since being sent to school. Not that the parents are innocent, but once school started it was every damn day as some "grown-up" piece of shit humanoid w/ 100 lbs. & several feet on me shoved me around & told me what to do. Fucking two-bit thug bullies.

Yes! Yes!! A Thousand Times Yes!!

Someone's frightened.

Excitement At The Bunker

Maybe 90 mins. ago ago I heard various noises from just outside the galley window, & then heard people clumping down the stairs. This was followed in a few more mins. by several police officers outside the window, one of whom advised me my upstairs neighbors had just been burglarized. The ossifers were trying to figure out something about where & how to move the ladder. Should've looked to see what the hell the noise was.

Hoping it was someone the neighbors know who wanted something specific. Can't imagine wandering around w/ a ladder, picking a random window & then leaving it there. Stats indicate over 50% of burglaries are committed by people known to the victim. I wonder if any of the cameras in the lobby actually work, & if the bastard slumlord will put bars on my window.

Angry? Absolutely Bitter? Better Believe It!

The Paranoid Style: Red Scares & Scary Sharia

From the first Red Scare, cover date Sep't. 1954.

History Lessons: Same Idiotic Shit, Different Day

Unpopular Front on the "Little Red Scare 2.0"

To the New Right, this abolition was unilateral disarmament in the still-frosty Cold War—and it removed a valuable cudgel against the domestic left. The Heritage Foundation’s Mandate for Leadership transition plan called to “revive the committees"“ and to rebuild of the internal security apparatus to battle domestic subversion, warning that clergymen, students, businessmen, entertainers, labor officials, journalists and government workers may engage in subversive activity "without being fully aware of the extent, purpose or control of their activities," and that individual liberties are "secondary to the requirement of national security and internal civil order.” The author of this section was one Samuel T. Francis, whothe would go on to be a staffer for [Sen.] John East.

The absolute joke that is fear of "Sharia law" is revealed by (non-) reaction to the Saud family's investment in the creation of the Paramount/WB/Discovery media cartel. All lies & hypocrisy.

From The Crime Blotter

Not that far from this reporter.I dunno about the reported "gunman"; could have been an angry spouse who didn't think an illegal gambling report would get the heat to do anything. Yrs. ago a friend who was selling reefer had a disgreement w/ his upstairs neighbor about my friend's loud music at all hrs. & the neighbor called the police & claimed my friend was selling heroin & had guns. Suffice it to say the police were happy enough to make a reefer bust.

No More Dissent, Smart-Asses!

'It's All Very Scientific': Is The Government Going To Declare 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' A 'Diagnosable Mental Illness'?

Sounds like Soviet "psychiatry" to this reporter.Every accusation, &c. Read this & then decide who needs psychiatric help.

"Each level has approximately 8 to 10 symptoms and you have to have certain number in each category to be able to qualify," she explained. "For example, a mild case would include people who throw shoes at the television set when Trump comes on, or have a meltdown when they hear a song that is associated with Trump, like YMCA. The moderates—and there are many more symptoms, I can't really get into all of them—but for moderates, TDS has taken over more of their lives. And for severe, it's even at a higher level."

Lieberman claimed that people like Rosie O'Donnell, Mary Trump, Jimmy Kimmel, "would-be assassins," and "people who attack Teslas because of Elon Musk" would be classified as having "severe TDS" and therefore require psychotherapy so they can "work on the problems in them that make them hate Trump."

"For men, it has to do with men who have low self-esteem and they are envious of Trump because Trump has the stereotypically all the things that a man—an alpha male—would and should have," Lieberman said. "He has a great education, Ivy League education. He was successful before he became president. He's become president two times. He has a gorgeous wife. He has a wonderful family. All of these things that these men who have low self-esteem either don't have or don't have enough of or don't feel like they'll ever have. So somehow Trump is to blame for their not having these things."

"The women who have TDS are women who have problems with men, starting with the pussy hats," she continued. "So you would work with them to help them; Trump would be the man, like the worst man, the man that they would imagine it would be worse to be married to, because he's an alpha male and because that's what they can't deal with. So you would work with them to try to get them to not have so much hatred towards men, perhaps have good relationships with men. And so you're really not working on the [hatred toward Trump] because if you get into a conversation about like, 'Why do you hate Trump?' They tell you, 'Well, he does this, and this, and this.' It's not about that. Whatever they would say, whatever executive orders they might say, or whatever political thing or sociological thing, whatever they would say that he did that is bad; it's not really about that. It's about their feelings towards him as a man."

Just a guess, but no one "throw[s] shoes at the television set when Trump comes on"; simply changing the channel seems much more likely. Those in the know find it highly amusing that Lumpy is associated w/ "YMCA".

And are you still on about the pussy hats? Naturally, because it's all explained by S-E-X. Specifically, sexual confusion, after all, every sane & manly man wants to be just like "alpha-male" Trump, & apparently every woman should want to have sex w/ Trump, & not worry about all the stupid, vicious &/or evil things he does & says.

Dr. Lieberman seems awfully well-educated to be spewing inanities like this, but we see she enjoys attention, & writing books.
