THAT’S THEIR FLOOR, NOT THEIR CEILING: Arizona Congressional Dem hopeful caught following OnlyFans, witchcraft accounts.

The official campaign Instagram account of Arizona Democratic congressional hopeful JoAnna Mendoza bizarrely followed multiple OnlyFans models, witchcraft accounts, and sexually explicit content producers.

Mendoza at one point followed a dozen accounts that frequently share sexually explicit content, including a transgender socialist who is known for sharing images of sex toys, according to screenshots of the follows taken and reviewed by The Post.

Her official Instagram account has nearly 12,000 followers and is following 1,230 users. She is still following several of the accounts in question.

At least she doesn’t have a Nazi tattoo… that we’re aware of.

ACE OF SPADES: Leftwing Propaganda Found In Home of Suspected Murderer of Pro-Brexit Former Conservative MP — Despite UK Cops Previously Claiming There Was No Political Motive.

This is the woman whose murder leftists, and trannies in particular, were celebrating.

The police lied again, claiming that the motive may never be known.

The suspect in the alleged murder of Brexit warrior and former government minister Ann Widdecombe reportedly had far-left literature in his home, as police have been forced to belatedly admit that there may have been a political motive in last week’s killing.We’re getting a little more detail from police now from a statement given on the steps of Scotland Yard, with Counter Terrorism Police saying of the killing of Brexiteer Ann Widdecombe: “It is clear this was a targeted attack. We are still working to understand the extent of any planning or preparation, and the motivation that sits behind that attack.”

…

Searches of the so-far publicly unidentified 28-year-old “white” male suspect reportedly revealed that he owned “Russian communist literature” and “items of political ideology” in his home.

The Lotus Eaters podcast pointed out the UK cops now routinely hide the race of a suspect — unless he’s white, in which case they repeat it endlessly, as they did here.

They have little interest in stopping crime, but a great interest in stopping tweets.

The suspect had communist propaganda in his home — and specifically, Russian propaganda.

There’s a fun article in the London Telegraph on the gritty mid-1970s British crime drama The Sweeney, and absolutely endless amount of real-life corrupt British cops who inspired it: Porn barons and bent coppers: How London’s Flying Squad inspired The Sweeney.

Based on events over the past decade, it appears very little has changed amongst the UK’s law enforcement.

QED: The ‘anti-racist’ rot at the heart of Britain’s police.

CHRISTOPHER F. RUFO AND RYAN THORPE: The Racialist State. “With a whole-of-government effort tilted toward equity, California is poised to become the next South Africa.”

Predictably, the measures deemed necessary in the aftermath of apartheid have become permanent. For many of the country’s leaders, the question is no longer whether racial redistribution is permissible; instead, the question is how extreme the racial redistribution will be. Race has been reinforced as a continual site of social conflict, instead of fading into the background of a multiethnic society.

Three decades later, the South Africa model is being replicated in an unlikely place: California. The state’s leaders have increasingly embraced a radical, race-based vision of politics that echoes South Africa’s post-apartheid experiment in racialized government.

For much of the twentieth century, California was a refuge for those fleeing the racism and discrimination of the Deep South. During the Great Migration’s second wave, black families set up in Los Angeles, Oakland, and San Francisco, seeking middle-class jobs and a better life for their children. California was seen by many as a utopia, with stunning physical beauty, abundant economic opportunity, and a political culture that embraced individualism and meritocracy, rewarded risk taking, and upheld the equality of all people under the law. That era is over.

This City Journal investigation—based on an extensive review of government records, reports, and legislation, as well as interviews with leading legal scholars—reveals that during the past 15 years of one-party rule, California Democrats have worked tirelessly to import South Africa’s post-apartheid playbook to the Golden State.

We know how this ends.

But as Glenn noted yesterday about Mamdani and New York City, “When you realize its goal is to cement losers into power, it never fails. The purpose of a system is what it does.”

ANALYSIS: TRUE. Reducing Violent Crime Isn’t Complicated, You Just Have to Want to Do It. “Nor is it a coincidence that the record influx of illegal immigrants during the Biden administration coincided with a sharp increase in violent crime. It is equally unsurprising that crime has fallen as deportations have increased. Deportation records show that 70 percent of illegal immigrants deported during the Trump administration had either criminal convictions or pending criminal charges in the United States. Even those who avoid arrest understand that any contact with law enforcement could lead to deportation, giving them a strong incentive to stay off the police’s radar and avoid committing additional crimes.”

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey Is a Stunning, Frustrating Triumph.

Nolan is working on a different level than every other filmmaker today. His grasp of technology, his eagerness to wow with every shot, is unrivaled. Some of his recent projects have reflected his cool, almost detached approach to character, but Damon’s performance flicks away such concerns.

The actor has never been so invested in a character’s humanity. The film’s anti-war bona fides will grab plenty of attention, but it’s only a small part of his performance.

This is the film that may make us stop taking Damon for granted.

Nolan’s mastery has never been in doubt. So why are the film’s first few moments burdened by sound issues that make deciphering the dialogue a chore? Why tease out the film’s modern anachronisms with a rap-like bard (Travis Scott) and use current profanity to break the movie’s spell?

Earlier reviews, both pro and con of The Odyssey are here, along with this clip from one of Steve Coogan and Rob Bryden’s The Trip miniseries, which reminds us that The Odyssey is far from the first Nolan epic where “deciphering the dialogue” is quite a chore for the audience:

DON’T GET COCKY: Democrats Got Some Devastating News About the Midterms. “New data show Democrats are not gaining momentum this summer. Some of it suggests they’re losing ground, and losing it fast.”
