Who Comes To America Matters

Posted on by

Before 1965, American immigrants came here mostly from countries that shared western civilization’s values. In 1965, Senator Ted Kennedy played a pivotal role in the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which significantly reformed U.S. immigration policy by eliminating national origin quotas. This legislation led to a dramatic increase in immigrants from Asia, Africa, and Southern and Eastern Europe, reshaping the demographic landscape of the United States. This was the first of many assaults on the western Judeo-Christian culture that united Americans.

On Friday, PJ Media posted an article that illustrates the problem of allowing people who came (or were brought) here illegally who have not become citizens remain in the country.

The article reports:

Just as predicted, the man caught taking a sledgehammer to the Iwo Jima Memorial statue outside the Marine basic at Quantico, Va., is an illegal alien.

Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin shared the update about the Wednesday monument attack late on the evening of October 22. I reported yesterday that Miguel Alonso Maldonado Soriano was quite possibly an illegal alien, and had more than one criminal charge already on his record. Virginia is not only a sanctuary state for illegal aliens, but under Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D), it has released numerous incredibly dangerous killers or sexual criminals.

Once you break the law, you need to be deported. If you don’t want to go back to your home country, we can gladly send you somewhere else.

The article notes:

…Melugin explained, “Per federal sources, Soriano illegally crossed into the U.S. in December 1999. He was granted DACA by the Obama administration in 2014 and had it extended for years, most recently by the Biden admin in 2024, but he lost his DACA status in August of this year when it wasn’t renewed by the Trump administration.”

I understand the plight of the DACA people. Many of them don’t even speak the language of the country they were brought here from. However, they need to be required to take a citizenship test and go through the process of immigration. I realize that is an expensive and lengthy process, so we probably need to find a way to help them overcome the hurdles. That being said, it needs to cost them something so that they will appreciate the country they live in.

The Impact Of Removing USAID

Posted on by

In July 2025, the US Agency for International Development (USAID) was shut down. The repercussions of that shutdown keep on coming. I know it is simply an incredible coincidence, but since the USAID money stopped flowing this past year, five right-wing leaders have been elected in South America. Also, Democrat campaign coffers are significantly lower than Republican campaign coffers. Hmm.

On Sunday, PJ Media posted an article about the recent election in Brazil.

The article reports:

Folks, this is nothing short of amazing. For the last year leading up to the presidential elections in Brazil, the little socialist dictator Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has been leading the polls, and while that lead has tightened in recent months, it still showed that Lula would likely get more votes than his closest competitor, Flávio Bolsonaro.  

Well, the polls were wrong. As I write this around 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday night, 99% of the reporting is in, and Flávio came out on top, with 47.24% compared to Lula’s 44.91%. 

It’s close, but it’s a far better outcome than anyone predicted. Early in the night, it looked as if Flávio could win the election outright. He had something like 51% of the vote, and a candidate needs 50% to win without a runoff, but the more conservative states reported faster, and that number came down a bit. So the race will, indeed, lead to a runoff on October 25, but it’s looking very likely that Flávio will win, and Brazil will turn to the right, just as numerous other Central and South American countries have done over the last few years.  

That would be huge for any number of reasons. Donald Trump and Marco Rubio will have a new ally in the region — one that will likely join the Shield of the Americas and help fight the cartels and other criminal groups that plague the Americas. It will also be a huge economic win — Brazil has the largest economy in Latin America. Best of all, it will isolate the few remaining socialists in the region, such as Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum. And the pressure on Cuba and Nicaragua will also likely grow.    

The article concludes:

São Paulo, the biggest state, reelected Tarcísio de Freitas, former President Jair Bolsonaro’s former infrastructure minister, for governor with about 63% of the vote. Minas Gerais, the second biggest, elected Cleitinho Azevedo, a Bolsonaro ally, with about 55% of the vote. Sérgio Moro, the judge who once sent Lula to prison, won Paraná on Bolsonaro’s party line, and a former army officer allied with Bolsonaro won Rio Grande do Sul with about 58%. Santa Catarina reelected its Bolsonaro-party governor with about 68%.

Jair Bolsonaro’s wife, former first lady Michelle, won a Senate seat in the capital, Brasília. It was her first run for office, and some are saying she won more votes than any other person who filled that seat in history. Two more of Jair’s sons, plus his brother, also won various elections. It also looks like the Liberal Party, which is the party under which Flávio ran, will have the largest bloc in the Senate.

It truly looks as if we’re about to see another Latin American country reject socialism. This is historic.

Obviously, there still may be some opportunity for shenanigans, but this looks really good!

The Terrorist Are Already Here And They Are Funding Terrorism

Posted on by

On Friday, PJ Media posted an article about the arrest of seven people charged with raising money for Hamas here in America.

The article reports:

A member of genocidal terror group Hamas raised money here as “charity” for the group and bragged to one of his accomplices that he has a network of friends in New York who are technically Americans but in total sympathy with terrorists.

Saleem Alzaq is a Gaza-based Hamas jihadi who helped operate a network of fake charities that funneled up to millions of dollars from donors, including Americans, back to terrorists in Gaza. Attorney General Todd Blanche announced the arrests and charges on October 2, promising to “eradicate terrorism.”

One of the accomplices reportedly referred to the previous Hamas-funding scam through the Holy Land Foundation.

If you are unfamiliar with the Holy Land Foundation trial, please use to search engine at the top of this page to learn more. I have written many articles about the Holy Land Foundation trial over the years.

The article concludes:

It is true that many leftists in New York City are delusional about Islam, but part of the reason for the Zohran Mamdani takeover is that the demographics in New York have changed radically with a huge influx of Muslims in recent years. Some data analysts believe there are even more Muslims than Jews or Irish- and Italian-Americans in New York City now. The picture at the top of this article is from Brooklyn. America is the great melting pot, but the Muslim religion is explicitly antithetical to religious freedom, equality under the law, ethnic harmony, and so many of the other principles that Americans value. 

To be a devout Muslim, one has to believe in killing the infidels — or at bare minimum treating them as second-class citizens. And Alzaq’s network was certainly proud of gulling American infidels to fund jihad.

Please follow the link to read the entire article. It’s time to deport people who choose not to assimilate into American culture (or those who want to kill us and put in Sharia Law).

Avoiding The Rest Of The Story

Posted on by

On Saturday, PJ Media posted an article about a Government Accountability Office report that is totally misleading.

The article reports:

Washington has discovered a government program that costs billions of dollars, and naturally, everyone is shocked.

The Government Accountability Office says federal agencies spent an estimated $9.5 billion on paid administrative leave in 2025. Roughly $6.7 billion of that was tied to the Trump administration’s Deferred Resignation Program, which allowed workers who agreed to leave government to remain on salary while generally no longer working.

…There’s just one problem.

The $6.7 billion figure is an estimated one-time cost of removing workers from the federal payroll. OPM (Office of Personnel Management) Director Scott Kupor has said the Deferred Resignation Program is expected to save more than $20 billion every year because those salaries disappear after the employees leave.

Spend $6.7 billion once to reduce annual spending by more than $20 billion, and suddenly the story sounds rather different.

Except that, Washington being Washington, there’s another concern.

GAO says OPM can’t accurately determine the program’s actual net savings because it never established a separate payroll category to track administrative leave used for workforce reductions. Administrative leave for the resignation program was mixed together with other forms of administrative leave in the federal payroll system.

The article concludes:

OPM’s more-than-$20-billion annual savings figure remains the administration’s projection. GAO isn’t endorsing it. GAO also isn’t saying the Deferred Resignation Program lost taxpayers $6.7 billion on balance. Its report says something more inconvenient: the federal government doesn’t yet have the data necessary to accurately calculate the answer.

And somehow, “Government Accounting Is Too Messy to Know the Final Number Yet” didn’t make many headlines.

The $6.7 billion is real enough to deserve scrutiny.

So is the part people keep leaving out.

It will be interesting to see exactly how much the annual deficit is when the government closes its books at at the end of September. We won’t actually see all of the Department of Government Efficiency Agency (DOGE) cuts, but between some of the cuts and the increased revenue due to the tax cuts (yes, tax cuts result in increased revenue), it will be interesting to see what the deficit for the past year actually is.

Why Am I Not Surprised?

The Lindsay Clancy trial is over, but the repercussions continue. The behavior of her defense attorney and some of the jurors may have legal consequences.

On Sunday, PJ Media posted an article about the doxxing of the one juror who refused to go along with a ‘not guilty’ verdict.

The article reports:

A doxxing campaign to identify, mob, and hurt the holdout Lindsay Clancy juror is in full operation. 

To give you an appreciation for the dynamics, however, let’s go through The Dozens on some of the wacky ways of the Clancy case.

She was a sterling mother … right up until she killed her kids in separate, planned strangulation executions with her workout rope bands in her basement. 

Court testimony determined she lied about what drugs she was taking to the multiplicity of caregivers from which she sought help.

She never told those multiplicity of mental healthcare workers that she wanted to kill her kids, for fear of having them taken away. 

The jury itself admitted in an NBC Boston backyard interview with three jurors, which looked more like the meeting of a coven, that nurses on the jury offered testimony inside the jury room on toxicology issues. Had prosecutors known that, they could have moved for a mistrial. 

The article notes:

Setting the table for the doxxing yet to come, Reddington (Lindsay Clancy’s defense attorney Kevin Reddington), said in public that the holdout juror “robbed” the other jurors of their chosen verdict, saying, “I hope that guy can sleep well at night.”

And now the mob has been activated. 

Reddington’s wife is part of the mob, posting multiple social media messages, one of which was to direct people to the NBC Boston story in which the coven member began the process of doxxing the juror.

But she was just getting warmed up. Deb Reddington pushed the narrative that the holdout juror was a “criminal” and a “squatter.” In 2021, he was arrested on domestic violence charges, and later released. The nephew who reported the incident then put a restraining order on him. It expired. The couple is now divorced.

The article reports:

Reddington should have been held in contempt, of course, for his extrajudicial rantings. But that only makes plain the idea that the jurors should have been sequestered and a gag put on those involved in the case, so as not to stoke the mob in the first place. 

The defense attorney’s wife, a realtor, has since taken down her X account. 

There should be some serious legal consequences for Attorney Reddington and his wife.

The Crime Rate Is Going Down Significantly

Posted on by

On Tuesday, PJ Media posted an article about the changes in the crime rate in the big cities of America. The title of the article is “Trump Is to Blame for Record Low Crime Rate in Big Cities.”

The article reports:

For those who might look askance at the headline to this article, I can only point out the obvious: Donald Trump would have been blamed if the big cities’ crime rate rose, so that must mean that he gets the credit (or blame) when the rate of violent crime reaches historic lows.

…Today, the crime rate in big cities is at or near historic lows. The Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) and the Regional Justice Information Service (RJIS) publish biannual crime statistics for major cities based on FBI data and local police reports. 

“Following the historic 30% increase in homicide from 2019 to 2020, CCJ’s last report estimated that the 2025 national homicide rate will likely be at its lowest level since at least 1900,” the joint report says. “Trends through the first half of 2026 show that the decline, which began in the second half of 2022, has continued, advancing well beyond the “return to normal” phase seen after the spike in 2020.”

How did this happen? “Researchers and practitioners have pointed to a range of possible influences, including changes in criminal justice operations and strategies, technological advances, and broad shifts in society and culture,” the report notes.

The article concludes:

In the first half of 2026, the Nation’s capital reported 46 homicides, down 43.9% from 82 in the first half of 2025. Even before the National Guard was deployed, the murder rate was declining. It cratered after the Guard came to town, as did other violent-crime indices.

As the CCJ makes clear, it wasn’t a single factor that led to the decline. But some factors contributed more to the drop in violent crime than others. I would say more guns in the hands of citizens and the increase in incarceration for violent criminals had significantly more impact than “violence prevention” efforts and “prisoner re-entry programs” did.

However you look at it, and for whatever reason, this is good news. The violent crime rate is still far higher than it should be, and removing impediments to bringing it down further should be the work of Congress.

I am looking forward to visiting Washington this fall. I can’t wait to see the changes in the city.

Avoiding Future Prosecution

Posted on by

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was one of the unindicted co-conspirators named in the Holy Land Foundation Trial. For more information on the Holy Land Foundation Trial use the search engine at the top right hand corner of this page. You can find one article here that explains part of why the trial is still important.

On Sunday, PJ Media reported the following:

The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has been named a terrorist organization in Texas and Florida, and this is not just a symbolic gesture; it could, in fact, have far-reaching implications. But the unsavory gang of traitors, saboteurs and jihad enablers that calls itself a “leading advocate for justice and mutual understanding” is working energetically to protect its assets, albeit in ways that are, not surprisingly, questionable at best.

A recent Middle East Forum (MEF) exposé revealed that back on Nov. 26, 2025, with no announcement or publicity of any kind, CAIR transferred ownership of its national headquarters building at 453 New Jersey Avenue SE in Washington, D.C. from the Washington Trust Foundation, which the deed says was “formerly known as the Council on American-Islamic Relations,” to the Sage Foundation. Sage Foundation paid the princely sum of ten bucks for this valuable property, which is within walking distance of the Capitol.

The Sage Foundation had existed for six months, as it was incorporated on May 13, 2025. And even now, what exactly the Sage Foundation is remains shrouded in mystery, for it “has no known federal tax determination, no filed Form 990, no stated charitable purpose, and a District status of ‘Active – Not in Good Standing’ — it never filed its first required report.”

The article notes:

Despite the fact that there is no information as to who exactly is involved in it, the Sage Foundation took over ownership of CAIR’s headquarters for the price of a single Hamilton. Sage, however, is not the sole owner. On February 13, 2026, Sage transferred 45% of the ownership of the building to the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT) for $4,000,000, “more than the District values the entire parcel.”

NAIT has designated the building a waqf property, such that Sage Foundation “shall not sell, convey, hypothecate, finance, encumber or otherwise dispose of” it without written approval from NAIT. A waqf is property that is designated for Islamic use, and cannot casually be sold to someone who will use it for non-Islamic purposes.

Investigative journalist Larry Estavan explains: “NAIT is not just another nonprofit. It is one of the most important Islamic property-holding institutions in America, and has long been criticized for its historical Muslim Brotherhood connections. NAIT’s own materials describe its waqf system as a way of placing Islamic community properties into a perpetual trust, so that they remain dedicated to Islamic purposes.”

If we want to get terrorist organizations out of America and cut off their money, we are going to have to move more quickly.

How They Did It

Posted on by

We have heard a lot lately about Chinese interference into American elections. We have not necessarily heard the specifics about how they did it. PJ Media posted an article on Monday that provides some clues.

The article reports:

A year ago, Brooke Singman published a lengthy piece on the Fox News website that detailed just how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) executed its TikTok data theft scheme. Her primary source for the story was the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is chaired by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa).

The Senate Judiciary Committee launched its own investigation into this after the FBI had announced its own investigation in July 2025. As Singman reported, the CCP allegedly worked to get “fake driver’s licenses to Chinese sympathizers in the U.S. who would cast a vote for candidate Biden.”

It is not clear how successful the CCP was in getting its ballots for Biden to count.

In July 2025, a Grassley spokesperson told Fox News, “Chairman Grassley is in receipt of an FBI document (response) to a request he made based on legally protected whistleblower disclosures…. The document alleges serious national security concerns that need to be fully investigated by the FBI.”

As stated in that document, the intent of the alleged scheme was for the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to produce and export fraudulent U.S. driver’s licenses to Chinese sympathizers in the U.S., so as to create “tens of thousands of fraudulent mail-in votes for US Presidential candidate Joe Biden, in late August 2020.”

According to the document at the center of these investigations, by August 2020, “the Chinese government had produced a large amount of fraudulent United States driver’s licenses that were secretly exported to the United States,” Fox News reported.

The fraudulent drivers licenses would allow tens of thousands of Chinese students and immigrants sympathetic to the Chinese Communist Party to vote for US Presidential Candidate USPER Joe ((Biden)), despite not being eligible to vote in the United States… China had collected private US user data from millions of TikTok accounts, to include name, ID and address, which would allow the Chinese government to use real US persons’ information to create the fraudulent driver’s license, the document states.

Please follow the link to the article for further details.

This illustrates the need for a provision in the SAVE Act to require voters to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote.

ObamaCare Fraud

Posted on by

On Saturday, PJ Media posted an article about fraud in ObamaCare.

The article reports:

Obamacare is expensive, unconstitutional, socialist, and bloated. It is also — surprise, surprise — riddled with fraud.

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Mehmet Oz revealed the stunning number of Obamacare users who never provided a Social Security number, raising serious questions about the scope of fraud in the government healthcare insurance program.

…In a Saturday video, Kennedy and Oz updated the American people on efforts to uncover and root out fraud. The HHS secretary began, “The Obamacare marketplace is plagued by fraud, in large part because the Biden administration dismantled basic program integrity guardrails. [And] partisan lawfare blocked common sense efforts to protect taxpayers. Today, Dr. Oz and I are exposing one of the latest examples of fraud that we’ve uncovered — more than a million people enrolled in Obamacare without Social Security numbers on file. That is a glaring warning side of fraud. If even a single person was on Obamacare with no Social Security number, we should have found out. Why are we paying people we don’t know if they actually exist?” Why indeed. Probably because Democrats love to redistribute money no matter how many criminals benefit.

The article notes:

But the current administration has a zero tolerance attitude toward fraud, Oz emphasized. “So here’s what we’re doing about it,” he said. “In May, we took swift action to block this fraudulent behavior directly on healthcare.gov and to our marketplace Call Center. If an agent wants to be paid, [he] must follow the rules. No ifs, ands or buts. They are gonna have to provide government-verified information for their clients to be enrolled.”

This effort is bearing fruit, Kennedy stated. “Thanks to this aggressive enforcement strategy, we’ve already eliminated thousands of fraudulent policies, and we’re just getting started. We’re also working with insurers to cancel every policy that should never have been issued and recover every taxpayer dollar that was fraudulently paid out,” he assured Americans.

Eliminating fraud may be one of the least painful way to cut government spending and get deficits under control.

Change Has Come To South America

Posted on by

On Sunday, PJ Media posted an article about a run-off election in the country of Columbia.

The article reports:

As I’ve been reporting, Colombia had presidential elections last month, and on Sunday, there was a run-off between the Donald Trump-like right-winger, Abelardo de la Espriella (aka El Tigre), and current president Gustavo Petro’s hand-picked socialist successor, Iván Cepeda.  

Well, we can say that another country in Latin America has taken a swing to the right because El Tigre won narrowly, though I’m willing to bet Petro and his folks were up to some funny business. I just don’t buy that nearly half the country voted for the commie… or, at least, half of the 63.6% of people who showed up to the polls in Colombia and beyond. 

For what it’s worth, Colombian expats who live in North America and Europe overwhelmingly voted for de la Espriella. I’m seeing Colombian journalists on social media proclaiming that they are ready to return to their country.  

According to my sources, El Tigre got about 49.66% of the vote, while Cepeda got about 48.70%. Petro is already throwing a fit on social media, demanding a recount, but the momentum is in full swing. President-elect de la Espriella posted “Thank you, Colombia” on social media, and the mood where he is watching the polls is pretty celebratory. 

The article notes:

What I think is important to note is that major players in the region are already congratulating El Tigre on the win, including our own Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, and Argentine President Javier Milei. These guys, especially Rubio, don’t usually send out their congratulations so quickly after votes are counted, but I suspect this is an effort to keep the momentum rolling — and to remind them that the eyes of the world are upon them — before Petro and his leftist, criminal cronies can do something to screw things up. Petro’s already denying the results and calling for recounts and more scrutiny without much credible evidence that it’s needed. 

Rubio actually called President-Elect de la Espriella personally to congratulate him and said that Colombia’s best days are ahead. 

The article concludes:

Ecuador’s president, Daniel Noboa, has been cracking down on the cartels and organized criminal groups that operate at the border the two countries share. The U.S. and Venezuela, as led by the Trump administration, are cracking down on crime on that side of Colombia. Having a cooperative leader who promises Nayib Bukele-like treatment of Colombia’s criminal organizations in power will be a game-changer for the entire Western Hemisphere when it comes to drugs, mass migration, and crime.

Now we just need to flip Brazil, which has elections in October, and get its little dictator, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, out of there. Right now, it’s entirely possible that will happen. I’ll keep you posted.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful for South America to be a great place to live!

Exposing The Obvious

Posted on by

On Tuesday, PJ Media posted an article about the recent changes in the climate change narrative.

The article reports:

“Climate change’s worst-case scenario is officially canceled,” young adult infotainment site Vox finally admitted this weekend, causing progressive heads to explode, from the writing staff to its readership.

“You’ve probably never heard of the term ‘RCP 8.5’ — the highest-emission scenario used by climate scientists to project the planet’s future,” Vox’s Bryan Walsh reported. “But if you’ve read about climate change, you’ve seen the numbers and nightmarish outcomes it produced: 4°C of warming by 2100, sometimes 5°C, sea level rising multiple feet, parts of the planet too hot for humans.”

Scary stuff, right?

Wrong.

Even though “those numbers shaped a decade and a half of climate journalism,” Walsh continued, he “didn’t always know — and didn’t always communicate — that the scenario behind the most apocalyptic, attention-getting findings was largely an attempt to imagine how bad things could get, not a true forecast.”

Let’s pause here a moment to contemplate what Walsh just admitted.

Walsh:

    • Now says he was ignorant about climate change numbers, despite being an expert for Time magazine.
    • Ignorant, except when he “didn’t always communicate” what he did know.
    • Which was that climate change “findings” were imaginary. Scare tactics, if you will.

Now Walsh says, “The world that RCP 8.5 assumed will never arrive.”

There is more to the story…

In March 2016, I posted the following (here):

If they were honest, the climate alarmists would admit that they are not working feverishly to hold down global temperatures — they would acknowledge that they are instead consumed with the goal of holding down capitalism and establishing a global welfare state.

Have doubts? Then listen to the words of former United Nations climate official Ottmar Edenhofer:

“One has to free oneself from the illusion that international climate policy is environmental policy. This has almost nothing to do with the environmental policy anymore, with problems such as deforestation or the ozone hole,” said Edenhofer, who co-chaired the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change working group on Mitigation of Climate Change from 2008 to 2015.

So what is the goal of environmental policy?

“We redistribute de facto the world’s wealth by climate policy,” said Edenhofer.

It never was about the climate.

Numbers Don’t Lie

Posted on by

On Saturday, PJ Media posted an article about crime statistics since Kash Patel took over as head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The numbers are amazing.

The article reports:

Murder and non-negligent manslaughter dropped more than 18% nationwide last year. Aggravated assault fell more than 7%. Rape declined nearly 8%. Robbery cratered by about 18.5%. All told, violent crime dropped about 9.3% overall; there were roughly 1.1 million fewer violent crimes than in 2024.

“The 2025 crime data in this report shows the single largest decrease in violent crime and murder since 1937 — as well as huge decreases across the board in terms of aggravated assault, rape, and robbery,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement.

Property crime wasn’t far behind. It dropped by about 12.4%, translating to approximately 5.2 million fewer property offenses than the year before. The data comes from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Program, which pulled information from more than 17,000 law enforcement agencies — covering roughly 96% of policing across the country.

This is what happens when you have a tough-on-crime administration running the country.

Patel credited the transformation happening inside the bureau. “Over the last 14 months, we made major transformations at the FBI, and these results show those changes are working.” He also pointed to his “back the blue” commitment — backing law enforcement rather than undermining it — as central to the approach.

The article concludes:

Rumors of Patel’s imminent firing spread online, fed by Democrats eager to paint him as a drunk and an incompetent. It was all just part of their ongoing smear campaign to force him out.

There’s no denying that the FBI under Kash Patel is producing results. The left spent months trying to convince America he was unstable and about to be shown the door. Instead, he’s overseeing the most dramatic crime reduction since Franklin Roosevelt was in the White House. This is what competence looks like.

Democrats were always terrified of Patel running the FBI, and not because they thought he was incompetent. They knew he’d dig into things like the Russian collusion hoax and the 2020 election. So they did what they always do: They tried to torch his reputation before he could get to work. The bogus narrative has blown up in their faces.

Going after people who broke the law is necessary, regardless of which political party they belong to. Wasting your time investigating parents who attended school board meetings or people praying at abortion clinics does nothing to make Americans safer.

Cleaning Up The Voter Rolls

Posted on by

On Friday, PJ Media posted an article about efforts to clean up the voter rolls on the west coast.

The article reports:

A wise man once told me that when he saw two numbers, he had an insatiable desire to divide one into the other, and so it is that we find out Oregon has agreed to take off 800,000 ineligible names from its voter rolls, which represent 25% of all Oregon registered voters. 

…Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch told me on the Adult in the Room Podcast that Oregon hadn’t cleaned out its voter rolls in about 30 years in defiance of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA). State officials settled a lawsuit with Judicial Watch, agreeing to clear out ineligible voters from rolls, starting with 160,000 voters who are dead, moved, or otherwise not voting in multiple elections. 

Los Angeles County, an area most rife with fraud and voter impersonation, agreed to remove 1.6 million ineligible voters from its voter rolls. All told, the conservative legal group has succeeded in removing more than six million dirty voters from their lists.

This is important because it removes names that can be used to generate ballots by bad hombres who use the zombie names and request a ballot, which happens all the time in L.A.

Our Republic will not survive unless we have voter integrity.

Is This Remodeling Necessary?

Posted on by

On Monday, PJ Media posted an article about some planned remodeling in a Minneapolis schools.

The article reports:

A school district in the Minneapolis suburbs is remodeling two high schools to fit “student needs,” by which it means adding a prayer room and foot-washing facilities specifically for Muslims.

Alpha News senior reporter Liz Collin posted on X April 20 the following screenshots regarding plans for a specifically configured “prayer room” as part of Park Center Senior High’s remodel and “footwash[s]” as part of Osseo Senior High School’s remodel. Osseo Schools in Minnesota confirmed the updates and claimed they were “included in updated plans after hearing from user groups on student needs.”

The person who sent in the tip to Collin noted that this prayer room is not a response to Christian or Jewish complaints and requirements, nor is the footwash purely for hygienic reasons. “This is undoubtedly for Muslim students only. I cannot understand how this can be happening in this era of no religion in schools,” the tipster argued.

By the way, this does not appear to be an original inspiration of Osseo Schools. Show host Glenn Beck reported last year that some Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn., schools had Muslim prayer rooms in them.

The article notes:

As an important note, the Founding Fathers never intended to exclude religion from the public square or government institutions, and indeed the phrase “separation of church and state” never occurs in our founding documents. Indeed, many of the founders, including John Adams, George Washington, and John Jay, emphasized the importance of religion in the public square. It was also normal and accepted for legislatures and public schools across America to have prayers incorporated into their regular scheduled duties and exercises. But America was founded specifically to be a Judeo-Christian nation, and it is also true that the Founders were opposed to making one religion essentially the state religion or official religion of a particular institution or government entity. Yet that is exactly what is happening at the Minneapolis high schools.

If the school is also willing to put in prayer rooms for Jews and Christians, I am okay with this. Otherwise, the school is using tax dollars to promote a specific religion, which is unconstitutional.

Elections Have Consequences

Posted on by

In September 2018, I posted the following video:

The video explains how the political left changed the State of Colorado from a red state to a solidly blue state. The residents of Colorado are now feeling the consequences of that change.

On Monday, PJ Media reported:

“20 years ago Colorado was a Red state and thriving,” the State Leadership Initiative posted late last week. “10 years ago liberals were writing pieces about how Colorado was the next Silicon Valley.” And now CBS News reports that “Colorado is losing businesses and jobs at an alarming rate.”

This was the hope, according to Denver-based 5280 magazine in 2020: “With another tech company setting up an office in Denver, the state could become a magnet for Silicon Valley firms and other prestigious businesses during the worst economic climate in nearly a century.”

Instead of Silicon Mountain, Colorado is quickly becoming “an economic backwater,” as SLI put it, “an omen for what happens when Red states go blue.”

It seems like only last week [It was just last week, Steve —Editor] I shared the schadenfreudelicious tale of how one TDS-suffering Delaware judge launched an exodus of big-name firms led by Elon Musk. Today, I must share similar news about my once-beloved home state of Colorado.

“The Colorado Chamber of Commerce has been sounding an alarm for years about excessive regulation,” CBS reported, and “the Chamber also said that companies are also relocating out-of-state.” According to the story, “since 2019, 98 companies have either left the state, expanded elsewhere, or scrapped plans to move here.” In the last four years, we’ve lost a total of 34 corporate headquarters, too. 

The most recent big name to leave is Palantir, the AI firm recently touted by President Donald Trump for its invaluable contributions to Operation Epic Fury. With basically zero fanfare, the company announced last week that it’s moved its HQ to Miami. 

Please follow the link and read the entire article. It includes a comparison of where Colorado was in 2018 before the Democrats took over and where it is now. Please watch the above video. This is the playbook–it can be used in any state.

Justice Delayed Is Justice Denied

Posted on by

Most Americans have seen the video of Decarlos Brown Jr. stabbing Iryna Zarutska to death on the Charlotte, North Carolina, subway. Unfortunately, Brown has been found “incapable to proceed” on state murder charges.

On Wednesday, PJ Media reported:

The serial criminal who murdered Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on a Charlotte subway just for being white just received another break, as a hospital claimed he was incapable of standing trial and prosecutors have delayed his competency hearing by six months.

In an apparent effort to delay and thus perhaps permanently undermine justice for Iryna Zarutska’s killer, prosecutors have accepted the assessment from Central Regional Hospital, leaving a judge to decide whether to reject the assessment and proceed with the April 30 hearing to delay 180 days as the hospital and prosecutors recommend. The new claim that Decarlos Brown is “incapable to proceed” on state murder charges became public in a motion filed April 7, according to the New York Post.

Decarlos Dejuan Brown Jr. already had 14 arrests on his record when he boarded a Charlotte subway train in August 2025 with violence on his mind. Brown did not know Iryna, who was also riding the subway and quietly minding her own business. But Brown suddenly and randomly approached Iryna and stabbed the young woman to death while most of the other passengers looked another way, refusing to intervene. Just before he got off the train, video of Brown shows him gloating to himself, “Got that white girl.” 

The article notes:

The new assessment that Brown is incompetent to stand trial could prevent trying him for the death penalty. From the New York Post:

Brown is also facing federal charges — and will remain in custody on that case, his lawyer Daniel Roberts said.

A judge must now determine whether to accept the report’s findings, and the case against him will likely be delayed until his capacity is determined to be “restored” by the court, the station reported…If a judge agrees Brown is incompetent to stand trial, state law mandates the charges be dismissed. However, if the judge issues the ruling without prejudice, state murder charges could be refiled if he ever regains his capacity to be tried.

It will be a serious miscarriage of justice if Brown is not put on trial for his crime. I understand the concept of innocent until proven guilty, but the video of the incident is pretty clear evidence of what happened. At any rate, he should never be able to walk the streets freely again.

Islam Is Not A Religion Of Tolerance

Posted on by

Remember that in March 2001 the Taliban in Afghanistan blew up the ancient Buddha statues of Bamiyan in Afghanistan, monuments carved into sandstone cliffs 1,500 years ago that symbols of the region’s history. There was no acknowledgement of their historical significance. They were not part of Islam and were thus destroyed. A leopard does not change its spots.

On Monday, PJ Media reported:

Last week, I reported on an Iranian strike that hit dangerously near the Church of the Holy Sepulcher — built over Christ’s gravestone — and the Western Wall, the last remaining part of the final Jewish Temple. Just in case there was any doubt as to the Iranian Islamic regime deliberately wanting to hit important religious sites during the conflict with Israel and the USA, on March 16 shrapnel again rained down on Old City Jerusalem, damaging part of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

The state of Israel shared a photograph with an image of the shrapnel that hit the roof:

The article notes:

Another important clarification is that Israel did intercept the Iranian missiles, but that did not entirely block the shrapnel from falling down on structures below.

The article concludes:

Churches and chapels connected to Christ’s Passion, the Western Wall, and Al Aqsa mosque compound have all narrowly escaped destruction from Iranian counterstrikes. As someone who thinks the Al Aqsa mosque compound should have been removed years ago from the Temple Mount when the Israelis retook Jerusalem from the jihadi Jordanians, I would not exactly be sorry if the Iranians accidentally destroyed that mosque, except that they might take out some innocent civilians at the same time.

Iranian proxy Hamas uses Al Aqsa’s presence there as an excuse for claiming Jerusalem for Islam, hence the Oct. 7 massacre was “Al Aqsa flood.” It would be incredibly ironic, however, if the Iranian regime accidentally hit the mosque that they use as an excuse for claiming Jerusalem shouldn’t be owned by Jews.

Iran is a blight on the Middle East. They have funded terror since 1979. I pray that this war will end quickly and that the Persian people will again be free and in charge of Iran.

Providing A Campaign Ad For The Republicans In The Mid-Term Elections

Posted on by

Late Tuesday night, PJ Media posted an article about the Democrats’ response to President Trump at one point in the State of the Union Speech. I am sure that the President’s statement and the Democrat response will be repeated in Republican campaign ads all over the country.

The article reports:

According to reports, more than 70 Democrats chose not to attend the speech, but most did, and several times over the course of the evening, they made a choice. They sat. They scowled. They heckled. While Republicans rose time and again in applause, the left side of the chamber looked like a group of children being punished.

And Trump noticed.

He called them out — repeatedly — for refusing to show even the most basic bipartisan enthusiasm for moments that should have been beyond politics. But nothing cut deeper than one specific challenge he laid down for every lawmaker in that room.

“One of the great things about the State of the Union is how it gives Americans the chance to see clearly what their representatives really believe,” Trump said. “So, tonight, I’m inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

Republicans exploded. They stood, clapped, and whistled for a solid two minutes. It was the kind of raw, spontaneous reaction you can’t manufacture.

Democrats didn’t move.

Not a shuffle. Not a courtesy clap. Nothing.

Trump let their refusal to stand do the work for a moment.

Then he turned the knife.

“Isn’t that a shame? You should be ashamed of yourself, not standing up,” he said.

Oh, but he wasn’t done.

He kept going. “That is why I’m also asking you to end deadly sanctuary cities that protect the criminals and enact serious penalties for public officials who block the removal of criminal aliens, in many cases, drug lords, murderers, all over our country. They’re blocking the removal of these people out of our country! And you should be ashamed of yourself.”

At this point, Representatives Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib were shouting at him from their seats.

It was an interesting night.

Dealing With Circular Logic

Posted on by

On Friday, PJ Media posted an article about Senator Schumer’s remarks about requiring voter identification. The Senator has been consistently comparing voter id laws to Jim Crow laws. He seems to be in a panic that voter id will pass the Senate. Well, Vice-President J.D. Vance had the perfect answer to the Senator’s comments.

The article reports:

JD Vance just dismantled the Democrats’ absurd war on basic voter security, and he did it with such a simple argument that I have to call attention to it.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer caught heat after blasting the SAVE Act as “Jim Crow 2.0” earlier this week.

“I have said it before, and I’ll say it again, the SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow-type laws on the entire country and is dead on arrival in the Senate,” Schumer said Monday. “The SAVE Act is reminiscent of Jim Crow era laws and would expand them to the whole of America.”

He then doubled down on this rhetoric during an appearance on MSNOW’s Morning Joe. He doubled down, insisting the bill poisons any spending deal in Congress.

He lit up Megyn Kelly’s show with a takedown that hit like a freight train. “We want the sovereignty to be with the people who cast the ballots, and that’s why we have to get the SAVE Act passed,” Vance said. He mocked the left’s favorite dodge. “You’ll hear people say all the time… ‘Well, if you look at this precinct, you know, only three illegal aliens voted in this election.’ Number one, that’s three illegal aliens too many, and number two, if it’s not a big problem, then why not just allow us to check ID and exercise some basic precautions to prevent illegal aliens from voting?”

The article notes the problem with Senator Schumer’s logic:

Vance nailed the contradiction. Democrats scream fraud never happens. Then they fight tooth and nail to stop fixes. “I never quite understand the person who says, ‘On the one hand, this never happens, and on the other hand, your effort to prevent it from happening is a threat to American democracy,’ which is fundamentally the Democrats’ argument.”

…Schumer’s meltdown proves Vance’s point. Democrats fear clean elections. Americans want ID checks. Vance exposed the game. Democrats have relied on lax rules for too long. Republicans must hold the line and pass the SAVE Act.

It’s time for Congress to listen to the American people who overwhelmingly support voter id laws.

The Trump Effect

Posted on by

José Antonio Kast has been elected as the new President of Chile.

On Sunday, PJ Media reported:

You can tell what type of leader he’ll be based on the MSM headlines. I just did a quick Google search to see what people were saying, and all the usual suspects are calling him “far-right” and “ultra-conservative.” Let me interpret that for you.

Kast campaigned on being tough on crime and restoring law and order to the South American nation. That includes deploying the military to cities with high crimes, strengthening the country’s borders, mass deportations of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants, putting the interests of native Chileans first, and getting tough with cartels and terrorist organizations like Tren de Aragua.

Gee, where have I heard this before? Many people have called him Chile’s Donald Trump. He and his supporters have even used the phrase “Make Chile Great Again” during his campaign.

That’s why the MSM is already labeling him with these little dog whistle phrases they use. In certain media circles, saying “far-right” and “ultra-conservative” essentially means “this guy is Hitler.”

The 59-year-old Kast is Catholic and also pro-family — he and his wife have nine children. He’s also a strong abortion opponent. Economically, he’s in favor of cutting billions in government spending and embraces marked-oriented reform.

President Trump has not yet been successful in implementing all of his policies. However, he has made moves in the direction of cutting spending and increasing revenue. He has enforced the immigration laws already on the books and is continuing to do so. Inflation is under control, and gradually, some of our major cities are becoming safer.

The article concludes:

Kast also supports Trump’s anti-drug trafficking activity in the Caribbean and does not consider Nicolás Maduro the legitimate leader of Venezuela. He even supports any U.S. action to get rid of Maduro.

I feel like I say this at least once a week, but it’s a sign of the times. Many Latin American and Caribbean countries are swinging to the right.

…Colombia and Brazil both go to the polls next year, and while the right remains fragmented in both countries, there’s always the potential for a change. Brazil is more of an uphill battle, as Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva plans to run for another term, but after four years of an unpopular Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s first leftist president in its history, I could see many voters in that country suffering from socialism and/or lunatic fatigue and voting for a right-winger if they have a good candidate.

People want good leadership.

Suspicions Are Being Confirmed

Posted on by

On Monday, PJ Media posted an article about another whistleblower who has come forth from the Maduro regime with stories of purposeful gang placements in America, election fraud and bought Congressmen. This confirms what we have heard from a previous whistleblower, but it is NOT good news. Please follow the link to read the entire article.

It is a long article, but here are a few of the highlights:

As of Monday evening, another former Maduro insider has come forward with a similar letter, which was also provided to the Dallas Express.

Former Major General Cliver Antonio Alcalá Cordones was a high-ranking commander in Venezuela’s armed forces who served under Hugo Chávez, and at one point in time he was more powerful than even Maduro within the Chávez government. He was on the U.S. radar for drug trafficking and related crimes for quite a while, but after Chávez died he and the Maduro regime eventually parted ways. He moved to Colombia, began staging a halfhearted anti-Maduro coup with some various U.S. contractors, and by 2020 gave up and turned himself in to U.S. authorities, agreeing to cooperate with them.

…After Chávez’s death in 2013 and Nicolás Maduro’s assumption of power, I requested my retirement from the army despite offers to continue, because I was unwilling to serve under his command. It was very clear to me that a criminal gang leader was taking power. From that moment on, it became public knowledge that I became a staunch opponent of the dictator Maduro.

With his political consolidation, the prison-based criminal structures were strengthened under his control: there were direct communications from the prisons to him, with Potro Álvarez acting as the facilitator of links with prison leaders; instructions were even given to those leaders to control inmates’ votes in elections, while criminals came and went to commit crimes and the prisons functioned as weapons and other illegal elements’ depots.

Some of those criminals—including corrupt union leaders linked to a Chinese-funded Aragua– Carabobo railway project—form part of the group now known as Tren de Aragua, which has been used by Maduro for his criminal purposes ever since.

Nicolás Maduro, trained and formed in Cuba, used these criminal schemes from the prisons for personal gain, replicating practices he learned in that country. Nicolás Maduro’s government exported this criminal organization to other countries, including the United States of America.

The article quotes the letter from Major General Cliver Antonio Alcalá Cordones:

Electoral Frauds

In the electoral sphere, Army General Carlos Quintero—a member of Venezuelan military intelligence—and current vice president of the National Electoral Council (CNE) has been responsible for committing electoral fraud. General Quintero was the engineer in charge of Venezuela’s Smartmatic electoral technology used to carry out the frauds. Most elections in Venezuela have been manipulated by Maduro’s government. I am aware of the use of parallel Smartmatic voting systems to alter results, especially in locaGons without opposition party representatives, making irregularities difficult to detect. This is the same technology used in other countries including USA by the company Smartmatic. The controllers of this entire system are the siblings Jorge and Delcy Rodríguez.

Bringing Common Sense To Foreign Aid

Posted on by

On Friday, PJ Media posted an article about changing the American foreign aid model so that it is more efficient and helps the people who need help.

The article reports:

The truth is that our foreign aid had become a joke — a way to line pockets and spread wacko leftist ideology more than anything. Rubio told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos — who tried to do that whole “Trump is killing people by cutting aid” thing — back in September that “We’re gonna do more than anyone in the world, again, this year, but we’re gonna do it the right way. We’re gonna do it holistically. We’re gonna do it as part of an integrated foreign policy.”

During that interview, Rubio pointed out that the reason why people die is much more nuanced than what the media wants to print. In some regions, wars prevent aid from reaching its target, or gangs steal it before it can reach its intended recipients. In some places, the middlemen, the distributors, simply don’t handle it well, etc. The world is not a one-size-fits-all situation, George.

The article includes Secretary of State Rubio’s statement about his plan:

The United States has spent billions of dollars over the years in helping with health strategies all across the world.  What we learned over time and especially after coming here, is that oftentimes – and I’m oversimplifying it, but this is an accurate description – what would happen is we would go to a country and say we’re going to help you with your health care needs. Then we would drive over to western – northern Virginia somewhere, find an NGO, one of these organizations, give them all the money, tell them, “go to this country and do their health care program for them.” That NGO would then take about – some percentage of that money for their overhead and administrative costs, and by the time it got down to it, the host country had very little influence, it was sort of imposed on them, and only a percentage of the overall money ever actually reached the patients and the people on the ground that we were trying to help because of these costs.

This makes no sense. So why are we hiring American and international NGOs to go into other countries and run health care systems that are parallel and sometimes in conflict with the health care systems of the host country? If we’re trying to help countries, help the country, don’t help the NGO to go in and find a new line of business. And so, that’s the model that we’re breaking. We’re not doing this anymore. We are not going to spend billions of dollars funding the NGO industrial complex, while close and important partners like Kenya either have no role to play or have very little influence over how health care money is being spent. Bottom line is, if you want to help a country, work with that country, not work with a third party that imposes things on that country. 

When you eliminate the middle man, more money can go toward solving the problem.

The Real Cost Of Illegal Immigration

Posted on by

On Thursday, PJ Media posted an article about the long-term consequences of unlimited illegal immigration. The article tells the story of a small Kentucky town.

The article reports:

I grew up forty miles north of Louisville, Ky., in a one-stoplight town held together by tobacco, construction, and the kinds of gritty jobs that built the region’s character. My dad ran a small construction contracting business and held a small tobacco base, which gives you the legal right to grow a certain weight of tobacco. My brothers and I worked tobacco as teenagers, starting at 12 or 13, and my brothers did construction with Dad as soon as we were old enough to hold a hammer. 

Those jobs weren’t easy. Tobacco paid around $10 an hour in the early-to-mid 1980s, the equivalent of $30 today, and you earned every penny. The work was filthy, exhausting, and dangerous: Sticky sap soaked into your skin, July sun cooked you alive, and harvest season meant hatchets, long metal spikes, and dark, dusty barn lofts where one bad step could break a leg. But we did it gladly because the pay was good and the work meant something. Every kid I knew in high school worked tobacco, along with a good share of the adults. It was the backbone of the community. 

Then illegal labor arrived, and things began to shift. The first wave hit the tobacco farms. Farmers who had paid teenagers and local laborers fair wages realized they could hire adults from Mexico and Central America for far less and house them in the kinds of conditions Americans would never tolerate: eight men to a sagging, leaking trailer with no electricity, no running water, no insulation. They were paid in cash, they didn’t complain, they worked year-round, and they had no leverage because they knew their employers could always get them deported. Within a few seasons, American teenagers were no longer hired. Within a few more, the full-time local farmhands, many of whom had been in the area for generations, were gone, too. My parents saw exactly what was happening when one neighbor proudly moved an entire illegal crew into a run-down trailer on their property on a hillside, right in the center of a dairy cow pasture. They thought they had found a clever solution to their labor costs. My parents were disgusted, because they understood what it meant: the beginning of the end for the community’s economic life.

Please follow the link above to read the rest of the story. The importation of illegal laborers that are paid less than the minimum wage hurts all working Americans.

An Interesting Perspective

Posted on by

On the surface, things did not go well for the Republicans on Tuesday. But there might be some light at the end of this tunnel. Some of the results are exactly what should have been expected. As of 2024, approximately 350,000 Virginia residents work in civilian federal jobs, why would they vote for a party that is cutting many of those jobs. Streamlining the government and making it more efficient are not popular ideas in northern Virginia.

On Wednesday, November 5th, PJ Media noted:

The Dems’ flying monkeys in the mainstream media will have a field day with this, loudly proclaiming a huge repudiation of President Trump. There’s no basis in reality for that. I am not at all surprised that things went poorly for Republicans in four states that voted for Kamala Harris last year. Voting Democrat wasn’t very popular last year, and it hasn’t gotten any cooler this year. My stomach isn’t going to be twisted into knots because people who voted to send the country down the leftist toilet last year are continuing to do so.

One of the things that I have been saying in the last year is that the Dems’ extremist behavior since the presidential election last year isn’t doing anything to win back the voters they have been losing. They have essentially been playing to a captive audience, one that enjoys being captive. So the audience was a lot louder on Tuesday night, it was still the same audience, nobody new showed up.

Two of the races will make it nigh on impossible for the Dems to come up with a sales pitch to win back those who felt that the party had become uncomfortably extreme. Now the aforementioned commie jihadist will be front and center for the Democrats as the mayor of the biggest city in the country. Virginia Dems giving Jay Jones a pass for openly fantasizing about murdering Republicans isn’t going to make the case to flyover country Dems and independents that the party is making a return to normalcy. The only thing that they could have done worse in that regard is elect a drag queen serial killer to one of the offices up for grabs last night.

The Democrats have made a habit recently of showing that they have no basic principles when it comes to supporting candidates.

Never Get Into A Battle Of Wits With J D Vance!

Posted on by

J D Vance is one of the most media savvy Vice-Presidents we have ever had. I wonder how much longer the mainstream media will allow him to come onto their shows and verbally annihilate their left-wing ‘newscasters.’

On Friday, PJ Media posted an article about J D Vance’s latest handling of the media.

The article reports:

It had to be deliberate: JD Vance is simply too smart and too politically savvy for it to be accidental. (And in just a few paragraphs, we’ll reveal his chess move that — if successful — will end the 2025 government shutdown with a complete and total surrender by the Democratic Party.)

Either way, the pivotal moment is just 24 hours away: Saturday, Oct. 18, the day of the nationwide “No Kings” protests. That’s when we’ll find out if Vance’s bold PR strategy succeeded. (More on that in just a sec.)

But we begin with one simple question: Why the heck did Vance needlessly interject himself in the Young Republican group-text scandal?

If you haven’t been paying attention, three days ago, Politico leaked seven months of Telegram text messages between Young Republican leaders from Arizona, New York, Kansas, and Vermont. Lots of the content was explicitly NSFW.

The contents were horrible. The young people involved are totally ignorant and cruel.

The article at PJ Media continues:

When the “scandal” broke, the Young Republicans had three PR options:

    1. Issue a sniveling, groveling, all-encompassing apology and beg for forgiveness;
    2. Issue a limited apology;
    3. Offer no apology.

The Young Republicans chose option #1 — and they did so with gusto. The Kansas chapter of Young Republicans has already disbanded, and most of the GOP establishment sang from the same hymn sheet as Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.)

The article explains what J D Vance did with the information:

He leveraged the “outrage” over the Young Republicans texting story to shine a bright national spotlight on the Jay Jones scandal that’s brewing in Virginia.

In Virginia’s attorney general’s race, exactly one month before Election Day, the National Review broke news about the Democratic attorney general nominee, Jay Jones, fantasizing about murdering his political enemies — along with their children.

Please follow the link to read the entire article. It is fascinating.
