IMPRESSIVE: ‘1,000 Days Without Homicides.’ “Over the weekend, Bukele announced on X that El Salvador has gone “1,000 days without homicides” since he took office. These aren’t consecutive days, mind you, but they’re a major improvement over what was going on in that country before his leadership began.”
Bukele has been in office for less than 2300 days, and his cartel crackdown didn’t begin in earnest until 2022.
FAMILY HISTORY:
One of my ancestors, the first 'John Ringo', was a slave for five years. He was a sailor on a ship out of New Amsterdam (now NYC) who was captured by Moors. His family could not come up with the ransom so he was kept as a slave working a small boat.
Five years later he and… https://t.co/XRoBUARbQX

UNEXPECTEDLY! “An 18th-century portrait stolen by the Nazis during WWII is believed to have resurfaced in the most unexpected place: hanging above a sofa in a coastal Argentinian home and discovered not by law enforcement or a museum, but spotted in a photo on a real estate website.”

STEPHEN MILLER: Single Greatest Abuse Of Voting In Any Democracy In The World Is The Democrat Party’s Policy Of Mail-In Ballots.
The single greatest abuse of voting in any democracy in the world today is the Democrat Party’s policy of mass, anonymous, unverified mail in ballots. I mean, just think about this for a second. Any one in California can drop off a ballot where they don’t verify the citizenship of who submits it, the residency, the age, the criminal history, the eligibility or the signature, completely anonymous vote by mail, voting by cellphone would be vastly more secure than a system of tens of millions of unverified, unsolicited, unregistered mail in ballots with no identity verification, including of course, no citizenship verification.
On top of that, Laura, as we know, California has outright stolen House seats just by counting illegal aliens in the census. There are entire members of Congress from California whose districts only exist because their constituents are illegal aliens. There’s — you’ll never find an example of a more direct theft of American franchise and civil rights than creating Democrat House seats comprised of illegal alien constituents.
Democrat opposition to removing illegal aliens has nothing to do with opposition to so-called fascism.
PENGUIN TO STEP DOWN FROM GOTHAM CITY POLITICS: Jerry Nadler to Retire From Congress: ‘Watching the Biden Thing*’ Made Me Think ‘About the Necessity for Generational Change.’
Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) announced on Monday that he would not seek re-election to Congress after nearly 33 years in office.
In an interview with the New York Times, the 78-year-old congressman said he was motivated not to seek re-election next year after watching 82-year-old former President Joe Biden’s ill-fated 2024 presidential campaign and concerns in the Democratic Party about a growing gerontocracy.
“Watching the Biden thing really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that,” said Nadler, who acknowledged that a younger member of Congress could “maybe do better” and “help us more.”

2026 PREVIEW: The Canaries in the Coalmine: In Just 63 Days, We’ll Know If the GOP Will Win the 2026 Midterms. “If the GOP wins either Virginia or New Jersey, it will likely mean that the national realignment is still ongoing, and the Republicans are still on the upswing. That, coupled with the Democrats’ disastrous brand identity, would give the GOP a solid 50%-50% shot at winning the midterms and keeping the House.”
