Via Sarah at Insty’s place, I followed this link and immediately burst into helpless laughter.
“First they came for Mahmoud Khalil, and I said nothing because I thought it was a damn good idea.”
…and it gets better and better as it goes on. If you missed the “Faux Anguish” link, then go there now, and enjoy. Best thing I’ve read in ages.
Daniel Jupp on what Trump is actually doing with tariffs:
Trump and many other MAGA figures operate on a completely different level from the mainstream NPCs with their programmed 80-year devotion to failed systems, failed institutions and the failed economic theories of an expert class who carefully managed their way to creating a Chinese monster ready to devour them while turning their own countries into increasingly backwards indebted sh*tholes.
The status quo is set up to ensure that China benefits from Western nations declining and failing, while a small number of Western globalist traitors profit from that. The vast majority of ordinary workers find they now live in countries which are falling apart but still claim to be rich. Their living standards and opportunities relentlessly diminish, their towns have no industries, and the best they can hope for is a welfare payment that keeps them in dependent poverty. At the same time people with no skills and backward attitudes are imported by the same economic genius consensus that shifted all manufacturing to China.
And Trump is attempting to stem that 80-year-old tide.
Okay, it wasn’t actually a shooting, but I think everyone will agree with my bending the rules in this case. Here’s the headline:
Schoolchildren disarm robber and stab him to death after being held at gunpoint
The 40-year-old man reportedly approached the two schoolchildren, a girl and a boy, on a bike. They reported that he was armed with a gun and knife and tried to steal their phones. The Public Prosecutor’s Office said that the victims got into a struggle with the man, with one of them snatching the knife off him. The man was stabbed two or three times but managed to get away on his bike. Shortly after he was found lying in the road.
I guess the moral of the story is: Don’t mess with Chilean teenagers.
And this last item will come as a surprise to exactly nobody:
The prosecutor also confirmed that the deceased had previous criminal records.
…which ended right there, on a dusty street somewhere in Chile. [/Hemingway]
From the Trump Administration:
Attorney General Pam Bondi warned against committing acts of vandalism or terrorism against Tesla products or other Elon Musk-owned properties.
Bondi said those committing those acts would face the full brunt of federal law enforcement without the possibility of plea agreements.
That thumping noise you hear is that of my heart, having burst right out of my ribcage, doing a
around the house.
When a crime report contains the following, you just know that things turned out righteously:
Initial evidence and investigative information caused detectives to suspect the deceased subject in this case was actively involved in attempted armed assaults on potential victims when he encountered an armed citizen who protected himself.
And:
HPD believes the deceased alleged assaulter was “a suspected multiple offender.”
Not anymore, he ain’t.
From La Bella d’Italia, responding to requests from France and UK to send troops to Ukraine:
“You can go — not with my soldiers.”
Could I love Giorgia Meloni any more?
