[Babylon Bee] A popular YouTuber died suddenly on Monday while filming an unboxing video of the famed Ark of the Covenant. The sacred Jewish artifact, which had recently been discovered by archeologists in a cave outside Jerusalem, had been turned over to the Israel Antiquities Authority who recruited a Gen Z influencer to document the find.
"Okay fam, let's get this baby open!" said YouTuber AshdodCat49 before her face was vaporized during the live stream. The famous last words by the influencer have since been turned into a meme by Jews around the world.
The unboxing video is three minutes long. It includes some commentary by AshdodCat49 who said the ark which bears the testimony of the law of Moses looked "totes lame" and was probably a fake.
Experts have analyzed the video, noting that AshdodCat49 actually dies as soon as her hand touches the ark, but then the momentum from her body pushes the lid off and the screen turns to static. The video lasts 3 minutes and 49 seconds and features the sound of wailing and gnashing of teeth as it sounds like the soul of the woman is ripped out of her body and thrust into eternal torment shortly after her brains appear to explode out of her eye sockets.
"This really affirms my faith," said one YouTube comment. "But yikes."
[Liberty Daily] It’s the job of reporters to share the news. It’s the job of commentators and pundits to analyze the news. But sometimes, a journalist steps up and does the legwork to not only determine an appropriate strategy a leader should take, but also to disseminate the strategy to the masses. Such is the case with One America News Chief White House Correspondent Chanel Rion.
In a recent monologue, she laid out the case for President Donald Trump to go after EVERYONE involved in the unprecedented raid on his home, Mar-a-Lago. Every American patriot must listen to what she has to say, and that includes everyone on Trump’s team. Here is the video followed by a transcript with selected highlights:
Russia’s stuck in the embarrassment of a Ukraine quagmire. They could have taken Ukraine inside of three weeks, but didn’t, they’re holding back. Why? China’s too scared to invade Taiwan. They’re holding back. Why? The FBI should have been able to devour Mar-a-Lago and Trump once and for all. The FBI has never launched a full scale raid without an arrest. Two weeks out, they’ve got nothing. They’re holding back. Why?
The reason Russia, China and the Democrats’ DOJ are all holding back is because they don’t know what Trump is going to do with them in 2025. The greatest advantage the entire world has against evil actors right now is that Donald Trump remains more powerful as a sitting candidate for president than anyone in four generations. The threat of Trump’s return is doing more right now to restore the balance of power on the national and international stage than anything the insulting high heel limping men and dresses in Biden’s cabinet could possibly do.
[Washington Times] Political discord has become so prevalent that some Americans believe a second civil war could be in the nation’s future. Yes, there are numbers.
"We find that most Americans believe divisions have gotten worse since the start of 2021 and most expect them to grow in the coming years. Two in five Americans believe a civil war is at least somewhat likely in the next decade; Republicans are more likely than Democrats to expect civil war," wrote Taylor Orth, a senior data journalist with the pollster YouGov, which regularly gauges public opinion on political and cultural matters.
"Two-thirds of Americans (66%) believe that political divisions in this country have gotten worse since the beginning of 2021, compared to only 8% who say the country has grown less divided. Few see things improving in the coming years: 62% expect an increase in political divisions," Ms. Orth wrote.
"A similar share (63%) to the proportion who say political divisions have worsened (66%) say political violence has increased since the start of 2021. Three in five Americans (60%) anticipate an increase in political violence in the next few years and only 9% expect political violence to decline," she said.
There has been some rumbling in the press about a "second civil war" off and on throughout former President Donald Trump’s time in office, and to this day. Some examples from the last 48 hours:
"What all this fluff about a new civil war, anyway" asked a New York Times op-ed on Sunday.
"Is the United States headed for civil war?" asked another editorial inquiry in The Washington Post.
"Are we headed for a civil war?" asked syndicated columnist Star Parker.
"For a nation to function, there must be some common denominator of shared values and principles. This common denominator of shared values and principles is dangerously eroding today, and animosities are sharpening and deepening," Ms. Parker wrote.
"Am I predicting another civil war? God forbid," she said.

People "Mulling war" dont know what it looks like. If they did they would be fighting like hell to stop this madness. This is not a video game, there is nothing romantic about where our nation is going. The last time we went past this most men of fighting age were either killed or maimed. This wont end well, no matter who wins if it goes to blows. It seems our dear deemed leader is provoking war, this needs to stop. When he gets it, it will go bad for everyone.

^ And with the rest of the world about to get buried in an engineered depression, there will be plenty of outsiders looking for easy pickings here.

Ref #7: Wars, rumors of wars, plandemics, depressions......all pre-planned, all somehow interconnected. Good order, peace and tranquility, seemingly impossible to attain.
Except in Switzerland, which hasn't been involved in a conflict or war in over 600 years.

Prediction: The civil war will be lefty terrorist groups like the 60s, mostly comprised of Antifa types. These groups will start to be more terrorist after the red waves in 2020 and 2024 wipe the Dems from power and Trump and GOP Congress start to cut and financially starve the different organizations that have become weaponized by the left.

If the right really wanted to engage, power, water and food would be cut from the big blue cities, with attempts to leave met with gunfire. Length of civil war, less than 6 months.
[RedState] We’ve been seeing a lot of FBI folks coming forward to blow the whistle on the politicization of the bureau, including accusations that they’ve been biased in shutting down lines of investigation against Hunter Biden and biased in opening them up regarding President Donald Trump. We saw that one person accused of bias by the whistleblowers has now been shown the door — Timothy Thibault, who was allegedly involved at different points both in investigations against Trump and Hunter Biden.
But it sounds like the whistleblowers might be making the Biden Administration nervous with what they’re revealing.
According to Mike Davis, former Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, founder and president of the Article III Project, and a former Gorsuch law clerk, Attorney General Merrick Garland is telling DOJ employees — which would include the FBI — not to talk to Congress.

The whole raid seems like a knee-jerk, panicked reaction. Wonder what they were reacting to? What happened that caused them to jerk the trigger? Just a case of reality catching up or was there some specific event in the week prior to the raid that unhinged them?
#6
/\ Common, garden variety shi* disturbing target of opportunity? Media distraction and diversion from current economic woes. Southern border invasion cover for action? Highway to a fabricated DC indictment? Legal Gordian Knot?
#7
They had to raid Mar-a-Lago in August because Congress and the J6 committee went on vacation and they have to keep feeding that MSM propaganda machine. Consider the raid to be a "summer replacement" program.

Entre'acte?
Would make sense; mouse radio news this morning was all about tying Gorby's death to Mar-a-Lago.
"semi-fascist" sounds very focus groupy, or at least beer pong circle. Drop Proud Boys in the news by providing armed security for kidnappers taking children to a grooming session - that's Teachers on a Field Trip for you LBGQROOMERS+.
Ultra MAGA was supposed to be the new scarewords. Seems focus groups aren't as predictive as those selling them would like. As Frank Luntz how that bidness is going these days.
Up next, "nazi-ish."

Trump is the guy to throw gas on a trash fire.
He may have taken a paper trail...to immolation.

I’ve been in one and led a few focus groups. They must be handled very carefully — it’s extremely easy for one enthusiastic personality to take the whole thing in her (or his, I suppose) direction. That’s why I sat in only the one.
[ISSUESANDINSIGHTS] President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan.... caused quite a stir late last week after accusing supporters of former President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... of following a political creed of "semi-fascism ...a political system developed in Italy, symbolized by the Roman fasces -- thin reeds, each flimsy in itself but unbreakable when bound into a bundle. Its distinguishing philosophical feature is the Corporate State, which is the alliance of big business and labor with the government in service to the all-powerful State. The word is nowadays thrown around by all sorts of oddballs who have no idea what they're talking about... ." But it’s yet another case of the far-left Democratic Party projecting its own grievous sins on the political opposition.
This was Saul Alinsky’s 13th rule: "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." The Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation... and the Democrats are following this rule to a T.
They constantly call Republicans, conservatives and those "deplorable" moderate Americans in middle America the most vile names — "racists," "fascist ...anybody you disagree with, damn them... s," "Nazis," and worse — and have launched an all-out, non-stop Deep State campaign against the man they fear the most, Donald Trump.
Thus came this not entirely unexpected but wholly unpresidential and hate-filled diatribe by Biden just last week:
"What we’re seeing now is the beginning or the death knell of an extreme MAGA philosophy. It’s not just Trump, it’s the entire philosophy ... it’s like semi-fascism," Biden charged at last Thursday’s Democratic National Committee "Build a Better America" rally in Rockville, Maryland.
"Trump and the extreme MAGA Republicans have made their choice," Biden went on. "To go backwards, full of anger, violence, hate and division.
"We’re at a serious moment in our nation’s history. The MAGA Republicans don’t just threaten our personal rights and economic security, they’re a threat to our very democracy," he added. "They refuse to accept the will of the people, they embrace political violence."
This has been part of the Democrats’ playbook for some time, but it has intensified in recent years.
As a 2020 piece in the online magazine Tablet noted:
As soon as the unexpected results of the 2016 election rolled in, Trump critics were predicting that he would be our Hitler and rush to establish a fascist dictatorship. Many of those critics have well-paid sinecures and regular invitations to describe America’s imminent fascist threat on popular cable news shows where they describe, year after year, how the fascist jackboot is now finally descending in America. ’Expert compares Trump’s politics to fascism,’ read a banner on a top CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... news show last month while The Washington Post recently warned: ’A second Trump term could put us on the path to fascism.’
What’s remarkable about this is it’s the Democratic Party itself, in both its tactics and beliefs, that appears to be morphing into a kind of neo-fascist party in which racial identity, government control of corporations, political violence, and rigid political directives are forced on citizens, while our historic protections under the Constitution are ignored, diminished or even erased.
But progressive Democrats have long loved to use government to compel people to do things.
It’s a fact that, back in the 1920s and 1930s, many American leftists openly embraced fascist ideals, which, in all fairness, didn’t have the stigma they do today. Both Germany and Italia returned the compliment, admitting their policies were influenced by progressive President Woodrow Wilson’s authoritarianism and FDR’s Depression-era government activism.
In 1931, British writer and progressive socialist H.G. Wells, impressed with Italia’s socialist-fascist government and Germany’s then-nascent Nazi Party, even urged fellow leftists to become "liberal fascists" and "enlightened Nazis."

Fascists, Communists, Nazis - centralization and concentration of power, "everything in the party, nothing outside the party, nothing against the party", the population exists to serve the programs and directives of the state, the state must control every aspect of your life.
The real Antis - decentralization with checks and balances, the state only exists to serve the people for those things that are appropriate at its level, people basically want to be left alone.
LSD's calling the Republicans racists is a running joke, right?
Considering the historically documented Democrat Party for 150+ year l-o-o-o-o-g history of and even continued, modernized Racist versions (BLM, Anti-Jewish acts, Anti-Asian Senior and Anti-White Family assaults.)
Correct me if I am wrong, or missed something.
Isn't it the LSD's that are spewing Anti-Israel, Anti-Jewish, Anti-heterosexual remarks with official DNC party immunity?
I don't seem to remember the GOP party agenda stating, or its voters allowing such?

Democrats are still claiming that after the civil war the Republicans and Democrats 'switched' so it was the Republicans that owned slaves...the ONLY party plank that switched was large vs small government. Nothing else did so sorry Demonrats, you are still the party of slavery, nazi's and the KKK.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.

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.
