[Breitbart] Fentanyl is a "Chinese operation much more than it is a Mexican drug cartel operation," Peter Schweizer, author of Blood Money: Why the Powerful Turn a Blind Eye While China Kills Americans, said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.
Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute (GAI) and senior contributor at Breitbart News, explained how the Chinese are using fentanyl as a weapon against the United States.
"A lot of the people involved in the fentanyl trade actually have senior positions in the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] or they’re advisers to the CCP government, but the links in this chain of fentanyl that is poisoning 100,000 Americans, every link in that chain is a Chinese operation," Schweizer said, explaining that the Mexican cartels are "really the junior partners."
"We all know the precursors come from China," Schweizer said, explaining that we have been unable to stop the precursors because the International Terminal in Manzanillo in Mexico is "actually run by a Chinese company that’s very close to the Chinese state," he said, explaining that those precursors "come into the port of Manzanillo" and are "moved to a town in northern Mexico where, according to leaked documents from the Department of Homeland Security that I obtained, 2,000 Chinese nationals essentially operate as chemists."
In other words, these Chinese nationals are on our border doing it in our backyard. It does not end there, either, because the Chinese are selling pill presses to the Mexican cartels "at cost," and the cartels are using communication devices and apps that are Chinese "because they know that the Chinese will not share those communications with U.S. law enforcement," Schweizer said.

Behold Phase-II. Potential fentanyl domestic production, logistics, and business development teams are arriving daily.

Destabilization. This has been going on in earnest since 2017...the amount of meth and fentanyl laced drugs increased five fold and prices plummeted seven years ago. So, I guess meth/fentanyl was really phase 1, although the Covid crisis interrupted their fentanyl supply chain for a year or so.
[REGNUM] Billionaire Trump is supported primarily by proletarians. The US Federal Election Commission provides a breakdown by profession of donors to the Trump and Biden campaigns. And it turns out that among the first categories such as truck drivers, construction workers and farmers are in the lead. But the current president is supported by psychologists, social workers, writers and professors with their "labor" dollar. Moreover, the most glaring gap in indicators is precisely in the last group - 93% of professors will donate to Biden, but only 7% will donate to Trump, respectively.
Both Western and domestic liberals will, of course, perceive these data with deep satisfaction as evidence that ignorant and backward people, of course, vote for "right-wing populism." But this is evidence of something completely different - the separation of intellectuals from common sense and their merciless struggle against it.
In the 18th century, when the current forms of various political teachings were born, there were people who understood that unbridled skepticism and criticism would not lead to good. And one of their leaders, the Scottish thinker and priest Thomas Reid, developed the philosophy of common sense. He argued, for example, with one of the founders of modern liberalism, John Locke and his follower David Hume, whose conclusions literally destroyed the world.
For example, Hume wrote: "The intensive consideration of the various contradictions and imperfections of the human mind has so influenced me, has made my head so hot, that I am ready to reject all faith, all reasoning, and cannot recognize any opinion as even more probable or plausible than another."
That is, we already find here the entire postmodernism of our time, denying any unambiguous judgments and the very concepts of true and false.
Reed, seeing this danger, believed that one should not break away from certain basic ideas given to everyone, which indicate that at one time or another I am talking with a real person and we both live in a really existing world that functions according to certain laws.
The point is that this is not rationally provable. Therefore, giving yourself over entirely to "mind games" is dangerous. It is necessary to adhere to what has been called "common sense" for centuries. In English this concept is referred to as common sense. Reed and his like-minded people believed that the perception of the surrounding world by a simple, inexperienced person is quite reliable. The philosopher was convinced that in matters of common sense, "the educated and the uneducated, the philosopher and the day laborer, are on the same level."
Based on this, his follower James Oswald, in his work "An Appeal to "Common Sense" for the Defense of Religion," argued that every person has innate primary instinctive truths. These include equally both conviction in the reality of the external world and faith in God. And they don't need any justification. On the contrary, any adequate thinking must initially be based on them.
And by the way, this was the case for centuries, until, starting with Rene Descartes, the "professors" began to question everything except the fact that they personally exist because they think.
Meanwhile, from simple common sense, from those very primary sensations, there follows a lot of things that are absolutely unacceptable to left-liberal professors. This is not only a belief in God, but also the conviction that there are only two sexes, that a man cannot be the wife of another man, that migrants should not impose their customs on the locals. For the bearer of common sense, this does not need proof. These are obvious things that are simply stupid to think about. Yes, this is a paradox - stupid thinking happens. And this is precisely what the modern liberal professorship not only demonstrates, but imposes.
Therefore, truckers have no choice but to bring their oily bucks to billionaire Trump, who simply looks like a man, talks like a man, and, based on this, they hope that he will finally act like a man.
But stupid intellectuals do not want to understand that the democratic system itself was initially based precisely on the presumption that both the "philosopher and the day laborer" have the same picture of the world. Naturally, one understands it more deeply, the other more superficially, but they agree on the basic values. Otherwise, universal equal voting turns into absurdity. Or into manipulation...
One example of stupid thinking is the statements that are so popular among domestic liberals: "Democracy is a procedure," "Democracy is institutions." And it is known from whom it comes. From one of the most famous "professors" - Immanuel Kant.
Recently, the governor of the Kaliningrad region, Anton Alikhanov, was mocked in various liberal public pages for saying: "Kant, who was born here, has almost a direct relationship to the global chaos, the global reorganization that we are now facing."
But Kant, indeed, has the most direct relation to it. And by the way, to the crisis of democracy too. Well, read what old Immanuel wrote: "The problem of creating a state is solvable, no matter how shocking it may sound, even for devils (if only they have reason). It consists of the following: "Thus arrange a certain number of rational beings, who collectively need general laws to maintain life, but each of which secretly wants to evade them; organize their structure in such a way that, despite the clash of their personal aspirations, the latter so paralyze each other that in the public behavior of people the result is the same as if they had no such evil aspirations." This problem must be solvable."
Now just use your own common sense. Agree, this is nonsense - the result of evil impulses will never be good anyway. But since the time of Kant, liberals have worked hard to destroy the foundations of the basic principles of common sense, turn people into selfish and materialistic devils, and then somehow organize them so that they get a welfare society. And it seems that the last bearers of America's common sense - farmers, truck drivers and builders - are seriously tired of these manipulations, and they simply want to bring the liberal professors back to reality.]

IMO professors became dumber than truck drivers when they started paying professors real money - attracting people for whom research and schoolarship is NOT a vocation.

To be fair, a number of truckers (Independent especially) are rather intelligent people who have a wanderlust or a sense of duty (Transport for disaster relief for example).
Two characteristics sorely lacking in pop access higher education facilities.
Hellmon, just handling regulations and performing Land Nav, piloting and maintenance, especially in foul conditions, eliminates most people.
[FrontPageMagazine] Directors, writers and actors hired to fill DEI quotas make garbage that turns off viewers.
Even as streamers like Netflix, Amazon and Disney+ are spending almost incomprehensible amounts of money creating the movies and shows fueling the Peak TV wars, the numbers show that audiences are turning down much of that content to watch old television shows instead.
A recent article noted that according to Nielsen, which tracks viewership numbers, “the most minutes last year – more than 57 billion – were spent watching ‘Suits,’ a legal drama that premiered 12 years prior.” The show had more than double the number of viewing minutes than Netflix’s race-swapping woke usurpation fantasy, “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.”
The Hollywood Reporter noted that the “top 10 overall titles in Nielsen’s year-end rankings are all acquired shows, the first time that’s happened in the four years streaming rankings have been publicly available.” Acquired means the library of older shows that Netflix bought after spending $17 billion on content, much of it on new shows like “Bridgerton” whose three seasons cost $168 million, only to lose to the estimated $200,000 per episode that it paid for “Suits”.
In 2023, more people were watching “NCIS” reruns than the top two streaming programs combined. And more are watching old episodes of “Friends” than either “Ted Lasso” or Star Wars’ “The Mandalorian” despite an estimated $120 million per season budget.
In 2022, Amazon had spent $500 million to buy the rights to Tolkien’s world in order to produce a woke multicultural version of “The Lord of the Rings”, but twice as many people watched “Seinfeld” reruns (not to mention “The Great British Baking Show”) as “The Rings of Power”.
After an unfathomable $238 billion in Peak TV spending that year, most viewers were comfortable dialing up old episodes of “NCIS”, “Criminal Minds”, “Gilmore Girls”, “Seinfeld”, “Supernatural”, “The Simpsons”, and “Heartland”: a show about a horse ranch set in Canada.
The trend continues with Nielsen numbers for this week showing old school shows Suits, NCIS and Grey’s Anatomy in the top 10.
The issue isn’t just “wokeness”. Apart from ‘Heartland’, the old shows that are popular now are not traditional or conservative, but they were generally popular in their own time. Some of the shows were made with a more male audience in mind, a demographic that is no longer serviced by the current streaming industry with rare exceptions like Amazon’s ‘Reacher’.
(‘Reacher’ now ranks as the number two series on streaming, vastly outperforming anything else on Amazon, suggesting that male audiences have been deprived of programming.)
But another issue is a radical demographic transformation in the industry that began with #MeToo and the BLM hate movement. Hollywood made DEI commitments and carried them out, whether it was locking the Oscars behind racial quotas for participating films or dumping white male talent in favor of affirmative action quotas.
Writers Guild of America numbers show that 64% staff writers had been men in 2011, but by 2020, only a third were men. 71% of staff writers had been white in 2011, but less than half were by 2020. Male story editors declined from 61% to 39% while white story editors fell from 79% to 39%. Professional talent at key points in the production chain likewise declined sharply.
Why are shows from the 1990s beating billion dollar projects at Netflix, Amazon and Disney?
One answer is that Hollywood purged or sidelined a lot of its own talent leading to productions that have ten times the cost of their old forebears, but are badly written, acted and directed. A $200 million fan film may make for an impressive trailer, but minute by minute still remain as fundamentally unprofessional as anything uploaded by a random amateur to YouTube.
The issue is not just wokeness onscreen, but wokeness behind the scenes. A lot of the old movies and shows were woke for the level of the time, but they were also competently written, directed and acted by some of the best talent that money could buy. That is no longer true.
Sam Goldwyn, an immigrant and former glove salesman who never learned to speak proper English, yet was responsible for some of the greatest films of the forties, had a simple formula. “You get yourself a great story. Then you get the best writer available. Then you get the best director. Then you hire a first-class cast, the right cast, and a great cameraman.” Not anymore.
Now you get a story that conveys an important socially relevant message about a minority group. Then you get an inexperienced writer from an oppressed group, a BIPOC director who has done nothing except four music videos, a TikTok BLM influencer as your star and a cameraman who is also the only white male on the set and prays all day not to be fired.

FWIW - and take this as you will - my wife, The Fair Melissa, wanted to watch both Bridgerton and Queen Charlotte, and being a good husband I concurred.
From a purely historical viewpoint...it actually wasn't that bad; I've seen far, far worse with far more money spent. It got the broad stokes right, and for me that's pretty much all I care about.
The good news though is that as far as I could tell, it wasn't intended to be a historically accurate docudrama - it was actors acting a story, which it did pretty well and in a surprisingly entertaining manner. And for me, that was just fine. I think - for instance - Idris Elba would give an amazing performance as Winston Churchill in a story about his life before becoming PM, but there's no way I'd consider taking it as historically accurate and I sure as heck wouldn't watch him as Churchill during the Battle of Britain.

I found Andromeda, which I think got lost after ST:TNG and Babylon 5....and for good reason. But:
After I got past the campiness inherent in a lower production budget project, it is far superior than anything new Star Trek and Star Wars has shit out the last 10 years. And I hate time travel shows in general. They even pulled of a The Final Countdown Movie and do a good job with the "If you could go back in time and change the outcome of a battle your side is defeated, do you?" The best so far is the one with, I forget the name of the episode, but Fish People. It tackles both an assassination plot and fallible heroes in a single episode.
Grew up with Baa Baa Black Sheep so that re-visit was fun. One of the best scores ever, unlike the very, purposeful, generic scores of today.
So the people who do that, have to do it by the catalog. If you want A, you have to also buy XYZLG, that is, you know one character is going to sell well, but with that one you get 4 which -never- sell and you end up with a pile of shit today's hip kids don't follow

[Breitbart] President Biden spent a good portion of last year trying to sell the American public on the idea that his policies were a boon for the economy, repeatedly using the phrase "Bidenomics."
Younger Americans likely to vote in this year’s presidential election are not buying it.
A new poll by The New York Times and Siena College found that likely voters between the ages of 18 and 29 overwhelmingly have a negative opinion of economic conditions today.
Even more strikingly, virtually none rate the economy as excellent.
Eighty-seven percent of likely voters between 18 and 29 rate economic conditions as poor or only fair, making this the worst demographic for Biden when it comes to the economy. That’s particularly troubling for Joe Biden because Democratic candidates for president typically need an outsized share of the young vote to win.
What’s more, the negative views of the economy are skewed to the lowest ranking. Sixty percent of younger likely voters rate the economy as poor and 26 rate the economy as only fair. (The total does not add up to 87 percent, presumably due to rounding.)

"...when I think back to all the crap I learned in high school,
It's a wonder I can think at all.."
<[Clarice @ AT] This week, all eyes were on the Willis-Wade fiasco in Fulton County, Georgia, but three less smuttily scintillating cases seem at last to be limiting the overreach of the Department of Justice respecting the J6 defendants and Jack Smith’s persecution of President Donald Trump. In interpreting criminal statutes, it seems to me that Courts should not be creative and expansively read into them things that the legislature (that writes the laws) did not clearly proscribe as illegal, and it appears that finally, courts higher than the highly partisan D.C. Circuit judges understand that.
The J6 Defendants
If you have been paying attention at all, you are aware that hundreds of peaceful January 6 demonstrators at the Capitol have received draconian punishments and, as Julie Kelly so assiduously reports, are being very badly treated in confinement. A few have even committed suicide because of their treatment at the hands of the D.C. Courts and the prosecution.
Two cases signal that as many as 100 or more of them will have a pathway to obtain reduction of their sentences. As I will explain, these cases and the Supreme Court’s grant of certiorari in response to a Trump motion for a stay, may well result in a major loss to Special Counsel Jack Smith and those counting on a jail term for Trump being a vehicle to schlep the demented President Biden over the finish line for a second term.
THE FISCHER CASE Joseph Fischer was one of the J6 defendants who declined to enter into a plea agreement. Like most of the J6 defendants he was at best guilty of a misdemeanor – trespassing -- but the Department of Justice charged him under 18 U.S.C. Sec. 1512 (c)(2) of “corruptly interfering with an official proceeding.” Because the Administration would prefer the narrative that J6 was an ‘insurrection” and not, as counsel for many of the defendants William Shipley believes it was, “a protest over which the police lost control because they were undermanned and unprepared,” this is the tag DoJ has chosen.
Fischer’s case went through the appeal process and when he lost, he applied for certiorari to the Supreme Court, which was granted. The case will be heard in mid-April.
THE BROCK CASE
Further jeopardizing the DoJ’s railroading of the J6 defendants is this week’s decision by the D.C. Court of Appeals. Looking at the same statute as the Supreme Court is considering in Fischer, three judges on the D.C. Court of Appeals, (Millett, Pillard, and Rogers, all of whom were appointed by Democrat presidents) ruled this week that rioters did not merit lengthier sentences for interfering in the “administration of justice” when they paraded through the Capitol.
TRUMP V. U.S.
The Supreme Court granted certiorari upon Trump’s application for a stay on the question “Whether and if so to what extent does a former President enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve criminal acts during his time in office?” The court in effect is saying that it -- not lower courts -- has the sole authority to decide when a former president has immunity for acts committed while in office. This case completely halts the D.C. proceeding.

True! What my mother would have called :nasty people".
[NY Post] In truth, Haley’s not wrong that the party has changed.
But she doesn’t seem to understand why it had to change.
It would help if she at least recognized that radical leftists now control the Dems’ agenda and that a collegial GOP approach is doomed to fail.
Like the media, Haley yearns for the days when the GOP was genteel, united — and comfortable with losing.
Enter Trump, and whatever anyone wants to say of him, most of which is true, his GOP is no longer comfortable with losing.
He survived the spying of the FBI and CIA, defeated Hillary Clinton and is again under relentless attack from Dem media and prosecutors.
He has somehow survived it all and that is why he’s going to be the party’s presidential nominee for the third consecutive time.
And don’t forget that his policy record is far superior to President Biden’s, especially on the border and economy.
Trump’s ace, of course, is that his supporters see in him a defender and street fighter they never had in Mitt Romney, John McCain or either of the Bushes.
And Haley, despite her racial background and pioneering efforts to break the party’s glass ceiling, more resembles the GOP nominees of yesteryear than Trump.
Her temperament and policies are why many Trump supporters call her a RINO — a Republican in name only.
That’s the ultimate insult, reserved for those who are willing to compromise with Democrats on the assumption the favor will be returned.
Anyone who believes such give-and-take Dems still exist isn’t paying attention.

Trump hired Nikki Haley the raytheon/boeing candidate, and sent her to the UN
he hired a boatload of neocons
Trump is the establishment candidate. They love him. He's their salesman for pretending you have a choice that isn't them.
this Democrat lawfare, multiple lawsuit "attacks" on trump, is all theatre to reinvent Trump as anti-establishment, which you couldn't have believed otherwise. It was the only thing that could have made him popular with his base, who he betrayed
All it is, is so you will think the Democrats hate him, and he can leave behind his betrayal of J6 protesters and his complete sell-out of border security by not building a wall, and increasing and expanding the Swamp when in office

Hello Trailing Wife - great respect to you, but we are going to disagree on Trump
too late for me to reply on the other story so please see here -
Yes, Trailing Wife, Trump made zero attempt to build the wall.
Sorry, but a few miles of iron fence that you can cut through with a grinder or oxy torch is not a wall.
A wall from sea to shining sea, is what he promised. Repeatedly. His signature promise. Everyone chanted 'build the wall'. I hoped he would.
he never even started on a wall
His own supporters had to go fund themselves a wall, remember that? the disabled war vet who tried to raise funds and do it himself? That's what Trump left his supporters to do
If he had wanted to build the wall he could have signed the executive order on Day 1 of his presidency and retasked the military
he was after all the commander-in-chief for 4 whole years
instead you get excuses after excuses. Oh, it's too hard. Oh the democrats stopped him. oh the court cases. He had a majority in congress and the senate for the first 2 years. He had the power to hire and fire. He had executive orders.
There was not even a serious attempt.
He could have implemented that electronic e-Verify, made it national, so illegals couldn't get work. He did nothing because he didn't want to do anything
It was just a lie, and he loved the theatre of it, all the time knowing once he got in power, he would do whatever the party donors wanted
and the party donors want cheap labour and open borders because they are corporate globalists.
he'll probably run with Nikki Haley as VP to satisfy these donors you watch and see
#4
Donald Trump is a flawed man, to be sure. But while he was president the number of illegals entering the country fell significantly, and rising numbers of illegals already here turned around and went back home, Contrast that with Joe Biden, who opened the floodgates and required the border patrol to cut open fencing and open doors to let even more illegals in.
Bottom line, we do not get to choose between a perfect candidate and a terrible one, but between one that is better and one that is considerably worse. So even if Donald Trump is all that you say he is, he still was and will be again infinitely better for America and the world than any Democrat who runs against him.

I see flaws in Trump. He is a man. In him, though, I see an opportunity to attack some bad folks doing bad things as they control the most powerful country in the world.
It remains an open question whether Trump will be successful, but he is the only option with regard to having this fight. Nikki is paid for by the bad folks. As for why The Donald was not successful in his first term - there are a lot of bad folks and most of them were hidden. We now see at least some of the extent of the evil at this point.

I am sick and tired of these " oh Trump wasn't perfectly successful in his one term."
Aside from not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, did they ever notice that he was not the all powerful Oz? He didn't have the powers of Dumbledore or Voldemort or even Stalin or Mao.
Did he make mistakes in some of the Rinos he hired?
Yeah, did he have time to correct all of them? No.
[AmericanThinker] The Arabs of Gaza are the most duped, wretched people in the world. Their lives coat the spearhead of genocidal delusion that the descendants of Arabs displaced in 1948, and others in the region, can annihilate the Israeli people and take control of the land of Israel. This vision is insane. It proposes that the Gazans, without an army, an air force, a trained military, or democratic institutions, will effect genocidal conquest of the Jews, the most successful civilization in history, who implemented the world’s strongest religious land claim — a belated triumph that provides an extraordinary will for national survival — and who also happen to be per capita the most effectively militarized nation on Earth. How can all of the Gazans be fooled all of the time into such suffering in the service of an impossible, genocidal goal?
The answer is that they provide a renewed delivery system of Jew-hating and update the belief that the world would be better off without Jews. The wealthy nations bankroll the benighted Gazans for loudly maintaining that most time-honored form of hate. Through generations, the Arabs of Gaza are sustained and manipulated as the undead. They have no functional government. They are economically unproductive, culturally nonexistent, suspended in time with no national identity except their endless racket of death to Jews.
Three factors unfolded over the last 75 years to sustain the professional hatred and compensated victimhood of the Gazan Arabs:
1) Scientific post-scarcity abundance, especially of food supply, enabled "government" dependency, non-productive socialism, and the profitable vocation of victimhood. Post-scarcity enabled the developed nations (ironically including Israel) to maintain Gazan Arabs as the world’s first victimhood Dependistan, without major commerce or industry.
2) Jews have been incapable of conquest and haven’t achieved security from violent invasion. Territorial possession is achieved through three steps: a claim, a conquest, and ongoing control by military power. The Gazan undead arose because Jews won’t commit brutal conquest. Jews don’t know from chopping heads off and won’t "Trail of Tears" the Gazans or Judaean-Samarian Arabs to the borders, river, or beach. Jews pretend the Gazans are separate from Hamas and give livelihood to people who envisage killing them.
3) Most importantly, the tragedy of these undead people and the ongoing endangerment of Israel is because the world is still addicted to hating Jews. Historically, nations kept a stash of despised Jews in urban closets for a fix when they got in trouble and to answer difficult questions they couldn’t answer for themselves. However, following World War II and the Holocaust, Jew-hating fell upon hard times, and the worldwide supplies of this safest, cleanest, most respectable bigotry were sorely depleted.
Then the Jews did something unforgivable. They left the closets of other nations to join co-religionists in Israel and successfully fend off attacks by Arabs. But they did not actually conquer the land; they accepted the bits and pieces granted to them by others. They didn’t slaughter innocents, as do Muslims. They thought they had won because they survived a quick succession of wars. "Are you dead, Shmuel?" "No." "Are you dead, Shlomo?" "No." "We won!" But the world couldn’t stand for a Jewish homeland. Palestinians were propped up to punish the upstarts, to resupply Jew-hatred and make murder of Jews banal again, including to educated Europeans and Americans who have always been addicted to that most venerable bigotry.

[TheFP] Seventeen-year-old Agam Goldstein-Almog saw Hamas murder her father and sister before her eyes. Then she was taken to Gaza.
By Agam Goldstein-Almog
I was in a dark and damp tunnel deep underground when, in hushed voices, I heard the stories from the young women. Not stories so much as bits and pieces of living nightmares.
I was with my mother, my protector, who did everything she could to keep me alive while we were in Hamas’s captivity. Together with my two young brothers, aged nine and eleven, the four of us had been taken from our home in Kibbutz Kfar Aza on the morning of October 7, but not before terrorists shot my father, Nadav, point blank, and afterward went after my older sister, Yam, the bullet tearing through her face.
Their blood spattered everywhere. We stepped over my father’s dying body as the terrorists screamed at us, took us out of our home, and drove us into Gaza.
I never got to say goodbye. Any hopes we had that they were still alive were dashed when we heard over the radio that they had been murdered at some point during our captivity.
We were moved a lot during our time in confinement, transferred through a series of homes, apartments, tunnels, and even a mosque in Gaza. Our captors were cruel. During our captivity, they told us they “would be back” to our kibbutz. The fear was paralyzing. It overtook me. I remember saying to my mom when we entered the city, “They’re going to torture me. They’re going to rape me.”
It was in the tunnels that I met other young women. Most of them were just a year or so older than my 17 years. Some still had bloody gunshot wounds that had been left untreated in makeshift bandages. One had a dismembered limb.
I heard from them accounts of terrifying and grotesque sexual abuse, often at gunpoint. They told me that when they were sad and cried, their captors took advantage of their helplessness even more, stroking and caressing them, and then shoving and grabbing intimate parts of their bodies.
They were treated like playthings.
My mother, Chen, hugged them. They told us they hadn’t heard the word Ima (Mom) in so long. They ached for their mothers. My mom later told me that she felt like they all were her daughters, having just lost one of her daughters herself. Read the rest at the link

The problem with killing all the orcs is that they have set up an education system that replenishes.

Everybody knows when you kill a major Islamic field commander two or three more pop up to take his place. It's like trying to kill weeds in your lawn only worse.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.

[Clarice @ AT] This week, all eyes were on the Willis-Wade fiasco in Fulton County, Georgia, but three less smuttily scintillating cases seem at last to be limiting the overreach of the Department of Justice respecting the J6 defendants and Jack Smith’s persecution of President Donald Trump. In interpreting criminal statutes, it seems to me that Courts should not be creative and expansively read into them things that the legislature (that writes the laws) did not clearly proscribe as illegal, and it appears that finally, courts higher than the highly partisan D.C. Circuit judges understand that.
