THE UNFIT HOBBLING THE UNFIT: ‘No Daylight’: How an Insecure Old Man Sabotaged Kamala’s Presidential Campaign. “Kamala Harris had (roughly) 100 days to convince the American people that she deserved to be the next president. With President Biden’s “no daylight” demand, it was impossible for her to stake her own identity. Biden’s ego was such that he’d rather Harris spend 100 days defending the Biden record and lose than to denounce it and win.”

The question is why Harris didn’t refuse a politically suicidal demand from a senescent lame duck. Clearly, this is just one more way she was unfit for office.

CRAZY BUT IT’S TRUE:

The population won’t decrease by 96% that quickly. But good luck having a functional society and economy in a country with about 90 working-age people supporting up to 200 retirees.

The good news, if you can call it that, is they’ll only have eight kids to support.

FOR THOSE WHO MISS THE ‘80s, LASER ROT IS BACK, BABY! Hundreds of your Warner Bros DVDs probably don’t work anymore; UPDATED with response from WB.

It turns out that virtually every Warner Bros DVD disc manufactured between 2006 and 2008 has succumbed to the dreaded laser rot, where discs simply stop working due to a rotting of the layers. Once it happens, it can’t be undone. This was a frequent problem with laserdiscs back in the 80s and 90s, but it wasn’t a huge problem with DVDs. The issue comes down to the way the discs were authored. Many of the titles affected, which range from classics like The Wild Bunch and The Shawshank Redemption to TV collections like The Dukes of Hazzard, have been reissued on Blu-ray or digital HD. Some of the titles, such as many of the titles in the Looney Tunes Collections and many of the Golden Age of Hollywood movies, have not, making them, in a lot of cases, lost media.

So, what can be done about this? Nothing. As stated in this RetroBlasting video, we had ticking time bombs on our hands, and the only way around the problem was to rip our faves to something like PLEX, but it’s too late for the majority of discs. Warner Bros, of course, has yet to comment on this, so people like me have thousands of worthless discs cluttering our shelves. Here’s the most comprehensive list of titles available.

So far, Blu-ray Discs aren’t affected, although all HD-DVD discs put out by WB in this period are basically expensive coasters.

Note that “Warner Bros has reached out to us with a statement from their Home Video department offering to make good on the ruined DVDs – if possible.”

SUGGEST? I’M GOING TO INSIST YOU CAN’T HATE THE PRESS ENOUGH:

Does the media still play that bullshit “layers of editors and fact-checkers” card, or are they finally openly admitting that they’re nothing but left-wing propagandists?

MEANWHILE, OVER AT VODKAPUNDIT: Could We Please Maybe Draw the Line at Cannibalism? “What do you call an OnlyFans sex worker who brags about the size of his endowment and refers to women as ‘prey’ that he’d like to either eat or keep as breeding pets? In Lynwood, Wash., you address him as Madam Councilwoman Jessica Ann Roberts. Because of course.”

FORTUNATELY FOR CNN, NOBODY’S WATCHING: ‘Fact-Check’ Lee Zeldin’s EPA Orders, and Holy Crap, Does It End in Embarrassment.

My absolute favorite part of this entire thing, though, is Collins sarcastically mocking Zeldin by saying “Oops,” even as it is her correspondent that is in the midst of getting the story completely wrong. That is the kind of arrogance that has led to the press suffering its worst approval ratings in history. Will she correct the record and apologize on her show on Thursday night? She should, but somehow, I doubt she does.

That’s a pretty safe bet, alas.

Today is the most consequential day of deregulation in American history. Alongside President Trump, we announced that the Environmental Protection Agency will take 31 actions to advance the president’s day-one executive orders and power the Great American Comeback.

By overhauling massive rules on the endangerment finding, the social cost of carbon and similar issues, we are driving a dagger through the heart of climate-change religion and ushering in America’s Golden Age. These actions will roll back trillions of dollars in regulatory costs and hidden taxes. As a result, the cost of living for American families will decrease, and essentials such as buying a car, heating your home and operating a business will become more affordable. Our actions will also reignite American manufacturing, spreading economic benefits to communities.

The EPA will continue to protect human health and the environment while unleashing America’s full potential. That means reconsidering the regulations that have restricted every sector of the economy, such as the illegal Clean Power Plan 2.0, Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, and Particulate Matter 2.5 levels. Under President Trump guidance, the EPA also has ended the electric-vehicle mandate that threatened to destroy America’s auto industry and made cars cost more. Instead of forcing Americans to buy expensive vehicles they neither want nor can keep powered up, we are restoring choice to consumers and bringing automaking jobs back home in line with our Great American Comeback initiative. This commitment to our manufacturing base contrasts with Biden administration policies that shipped jobs overseas.

Energy dominance stands at the center of America’s resurgence. By reconsidering rules that throttled oil and gas production and unfairly targeted coal-fired power plants, we are ensuring that American energy remains clean, affordable, and reliable. This isn’t about abandoning environmental protection—it’s about achieving it through innovation and not strangulation.

For those who remember the heady days of 2019, it seems safe to say that “Sandy’s War” has entered its quagmire phase — bad news considering that by her highly scientific calculations in 2019, we now only have six years left before the end of mankind. What will the “farting cows and airplanes” do to cope?

DIDN’T EARN IT: Listen to leaked audio of DEI activist SHARING air traffic controller exam answers with minority candidates.

Shelton Snow, a powerful figure in the National Black Coalition of Federal Aviation Employees (NBCFAE), can be heard promising advance access to test answers in a shocking audio clip obtained by DailyMail.com.

‘There are some valuable pieces of information that I have taken a screenshot of and I am going to send that to you via email,’ says Snow, an air traffic operations supervisor based out of New York.

‘I am about 99.99 percent sure that it is exactly how you need to answer each question.’

The inside info was made available in 2014 to African Americans, females, and other minority candidates – but whites were left out of the loop to ‘minimize competition’.

Exactly how many applicants were able to capitalize on Snow’s brazen offer to secure coveted controller jobs responsible for the safety of millions of fliers remains a mystery.

But one former NBCFAE member, Matthew Douglas, told DailyMail.com: ‘I know several people who cheated and I know several people who are controlling planes as we speak.’

Let’s not find out the hard way.

WOW:

This from the replies is probably correct: “USAID is taking money from poor people in America to give it to rich people in Somalia…with a big cut for bureaucrats and Lib NGOs in America.”

VICTORIA TAFT: What’s In Your Wallet? A Lawsuit From Trump World Claiming Discrimination for Conservative Views. “The Washington Post got the ball rolling with its story, ‘The four-hour insurrection: How a Trump mob halted American democracy.’ Thereafter, the die was cast. Political and corporate America took heed and acted accordingly. Now, the Trump family is looking for some justice, and it could be huge for everyone who’s been discriminated against by their banks for their political views.”

ACTS OF VIOLENCE MEANT TO FRIGHTEN PEOPLE INTO POLITICAL CHANGE ARE CALLED WHAT AGAIN?

I HAD BEEN ASSURED BY ALL THE VERY BEST PEOPLE THAT THIS WAS IMPOSSIBLE WITHOUT AN ACT OF CONGRESS: Migrant crossings through Panama’s Darien Gap drop 99% after Trump takes office.

The report found that only 408 migrants traveled through the treacherous jungle route in February 2025, a 98.8 percent decrease from the 37,166 who made the journey in February 2024. Of those migrants, 151 were from Venezuela, 43 from Cameroon, 22 from Bangladesh, 21 from Colombia, 17 from Iran, and the rest from various countries across Latin America, Africa, and Asia.

The Darien Gap is a well-known jungle trail used by migrants passing through South America to Central America, as it is the only land bridge connecting the two regions. In 2023, the area saw record crossings, with Panama documenting over half a million migrants—more than double the number from 2022. Many Venezuelans have used this route in recent years to flee the socialist regime of President Nicolás Maduro.

The February total marks the lowest recorded number of migrants crossing the region since April to November 2020, when travel was significantly reduced due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, data from Panama’s Migrant Authority shows that no Chinese nationals were recorded crossing the Darien Gap in February. A report by Breitbart noted how there has been a steep decline from nearly 3,000 Chinese nationals in January 2024 to just five in January 2025.

Nope, still not tired of all the winning.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Let’s Take Some Time to Remember Why We Despise the Leftmedia. “A two-sentence headline, neither of which have any truth in them. That’s a real commitment to prevarication. If there were any editors with an ounce of decency in them at Politico, the first sentence would have been laughed away. The second one is a real hot mess of a lie, as the protests are not at all anti-war. They are anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. Politico is running interference for modern day Nazis.”

I BELIEVE THIS: European Opposition to Trump Is Heavily Overstated. A lawyer friend in Europe says that as an American, she’s approached regularly by Europeans who tell her they hope Trump succeeds and that Europe needs a dose of the same medicine.
