Just Shuddup

Illegal immigrants

Oh FFS, here’s another one piling on:

Wednesday on “CBS Mornings,” Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said “there’s a loss of public trust” in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) so some reforms are needed.

Paul said, “I think the nation and the country at large or large parts of the country, have lost trust. You know, I think there’s a loss of public trust in ICE and their officials after seeing what’s been going on in Minneapolis. I think there’s fault on both sides.”

And I think you have your head up your ass.

Item 1:  “Public trust”:  I would bet a considerable sum of money that the “public” — i.e. the people who voted for Trump and his agenda in their millions — have not lost trust in ICE. You’ve fallen prey to the Washington D.C. mindset of letting the constant drumbeat of opposition from the mainstream media cloud your thinking.

Item 2:  “Fault in both sides”:  Let’s allow, as you yourself have in the past, that there are tens of millions of illegal immigrants in the country right now, thanks to FuckJoeBiden’s “open borders” policy, people that need to be deported back to  Shitholia  their native countries with some alacrity.  Let’s also allow that Trump has directed ICE to concentrate on getting the worst of these illegals — the hardcore criminals;  the murderers, rapists, violent robbers and drug dealers — as their first priority.  As he has.

Now ask the question:  Did you think that this was going to be easy?  Did you think that these violent assholes were just going to submit meekly to ICE agents and comply with their lawful actions?  Of course they wouldn’t, and haven’t.  They’ve been resisting ICE with all their might — in one case, deserting his own 5-year-old child to make his escape — and at all stages, these criminals have been assisted in their resistance by the efforts of Marxist scum in (surprise, surprise) Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Chicago and New York.

Oh yeah, maybe ICE has lost the “public trust”, in those Marxist hellholes and strongholds.  In the rest of the country, where local law enforcement has been helping ICE remove the cancer?  Not so much.

Senator Paul, I generally have a great deal of respect for you — generally, not always, because sometimes you let your inner libertarian go a little too far.  As you did here.

So STFU, let law enforcement get on with their Augean task of cleaning our national stables of this scum and trash, and stop feeding our enemies — that would be the likes of CBS — with headlines that undermine our national purpose.

Escalation

Anarchist thugs, Drunken Fools, Riotous Assemblies

One of the very first things my father taught me was an important one:  Never point your toy gun at a policeman.  As he explained further, you may know it’s a toy gun, but he doesn’t:  so there’s a good chance he might shoot you.  And it would be your fault.

Continuing the chronicles of the Left playing out its little Insurrection Fantasy, we see this latest example:

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) riots by Antifa and other activists since June 2025 may have now claimed what could have been the first killing tied to this anti-ICE operation in Portland, following a Friday-night drive-by shooting.

Here’s the relevant bit:

Instead of using an actual gun, however, the angry shooter, a woman, used a reported non-lethal BB-type gun and shot at least one right-wing livestreamer in the face and arm multiple times. Others may have been hit as well.

As someone pointed out:

Had it been real, they’d be dead or wounded.

And had someone returned fire and killed this drunken bitch, no doubt the wails would have been deafening:  “It was just a little toyyyyyy!“

Yup, and she would have been killed by just a little bullet.

Keep sowing the wind, Leftie scum.  The Revolution wants and needs martyrs, and it won’t take long before that wish is granted.  Just remember:  you started it.

What he said.

Pretty Much Illiterate

Education, Seen On Campus, Snowflakes

Then there’s this tale of woe (read it all for the full horror):

College students are increasingly unprepared for serious study, with some professors recently reporting they are illiterate, raising significant questions about the overall quality of American education.

“It’s not even an inability to critically think,” Jessica Hooten Wilson, a Pepperdine University professor, told Fortune. “It’s an inability to read sentences.”   Wilson described that she is trying new pedagogical methods to convey the same information.  “I feel like I am tap dancing and having to read things aloud because there’s no way that anyone read it the night before,” Wilson stated. “Even when you read it in class with them, there’s so much they can’t process about the very words that are on the page.”

Yeah, I know all about that.  I think I’ve told the story of how Connie (as Global Director of Training at a Great Big Accounting Firm) had occasion to review some of her earlier training materials.  These, she discovered, were about 80% text and the rest graphics.  Only five years later, the ratio had been completely inverted:  80% graphics and the rest text.  (And just so we know who we’re talking about, the trainees all had Masters degrees in either Finance or Business.  Not yer typical Fem Studies or Art History grads, these.)  When she tried to arrest that development and include more text, all that happened was that the training became less effective:  less absorption and poorer retention.

So none of the above are at all surprising to me;  only the extent is somewhat shocking.

At some point, all learning, innovation and civilization itself is going to plateau (or worse, #Muslims) instead of increasing with each generation, as before.

Socrates had it nailed.

Why Only Now?

Technology

The headline refers to this action by DJT:

President Donald Trump will launch a strategic critical minerals stockpile with $12 billion in funding as part of an effort to protect American manufacturers from supply shocks as the Trump administration seeks to cut reliance on Chinese rare earths.

Formally known as Project Vault, the project would take $1.67 billion in private capital and $10 billion as part of a loan from the Export-Import Bank to obtain and store minerals for automakers, tech firms, and other companies that need access to rare earths.

Reports have compared the idea to the country’s emergency oil stockpile. Project Vault would obtain rare earth elements such as gallium and cobalt, which is used in iPhones, batteries, and jet engines.

So… anyone have any ideas why this hasn’t existed since, say, the appearance of the PC and digital phones in the market?

Given that our defense systems — aircraft to tanks to ships — have relied on computer chips since, oh, the 1980s, it astonishes me that no Administration since the 1980s had established this already.  Then again:  Clinton, Obama, Biden — that’s  seventeen  twenty years of Presidency that essentially hated the whole concept of a Defense Department because they’re all either overt or quasi-Marxists.

Explicable, but still inexcusable.
