NAILED IT! The FBI DID Send Hundreds of Undercover Assets Into the J6 Protest!

Yet another victory for the tinfoil hat, “conspiracy theory” crew: the FBI sent 274 “plainclothes” agents into the crowd of people protesting in and near the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, according to Just the News.

And many of those agents are not happy about how it all went down, not to mention the bureau’s liberal bias.

If true, the collective omertà of the FBI agents is astonishing:

America’s Newspaper of Record takes this development to its logical conclusion:

HOPELESSLY DEVOTED: Kamala Harris’ Alternate Reality Book Tour. “I spoke to three audience members after the event, and they all said they wouldn’t hesitate to vote for Harris in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, should she choose to run. Few seemed interested in even acknowledging the campaign’s failures.”

That would be three more votes than she got during the 2020 Democrat primaries, having dropped out before they began.

IT’S COME TO THIS: Now Even Stay-At-Home Moms are Fascist.

There are many different ways to accuse conservatives of fascism.

You could, for instance, claim that the Federal Communications Commission is really just the punishing arm of a fascist government when it suggests that maybe late-night show hosts should try not to peddle obvious lies.

Or, you might insist that Sunday’s faith-filled and inspiring memorial for Charlie Kirk was really just “NOT-C PROPAGANDA,” as D.L. Hughley, a former CNN commentator, two-time New York Times bestselling author, and self-proclaimed comedian, did on Instagram. After all, Stephen Miller sounded an awful lot like Adolf Hitler’s chief propagandist, Joseph Goebbels, and the conservative response to Kirk’s death looks an awful lot like the Nazi response to the killing of Horst Wessel in 1930.

Then again, you could take an entirely different tack. You could, as Adrienne Matei did in the pages of the Guardian on Monday, point to stay-at-home moms who are trying to clean up after a two-year-old while folding laundry and planning dinner and call them “fascists” — or at least consider them the victims of age-old fascist propaganda.

You see, Donald Trump, like Hitler, “touts pronatalist rewards, such as a $1,000 government-funded investment account for new babies, and has discussed others, including a ‘National Medal of Motherhood’ for women with six children.” Women who fall for such pressure? They’re simply the unwitting slaves of the rising authoritarian regime that depends on them “to keep society stable and operational on a household level, framing regressive policies in more approachable and alluring terms.”

Calling Just About Everything Fascist Obfuscates Its Definition

Where does one even begin unraveling this mess? On one hand, there’s the egregious cheapening of the term “fascism.” On the other hand, the Guardian’s argument fails to take into account the many incredibly successful women in the MAGA movement who hardly practice (or preach) the “trad-wife” lifestyle. Then, of course, there’s the very simple fact that Matei has it all wrong. To be a stay-at-home mother isn’t some kind of primitive slavery; rather, in the words of C.S. Lewis, it’s the living out of “the ultimate career” for which all other careers exist.

The international socialists at the Grauniad view everything they don’t like as National Socialism, but is being a stay-at-home mom more or less fascist than someone who boasts about working out in his or her local gym?

I assume a stay-at-home mom who reads her kids epic poetry is really redlining the Godwin meter:

By last November, even Van Jones had noticed how crazy his party’s purity tests had become:

IS THE BARI WEISS ERA BEGINNING EARLY AT CBS NEWS? Gayle King left stunned as CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil launches stinging attack on liberal Jimmy Kimmel.

Gayle King was left speechless on Thursday over her CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil’s blunt commentary about Jimmy Kimmel.

King had been discussing the TV presenter’s return to late night and how it drew his largest audience in years, despite it not airing in nearly a quarter of American homes due to TV operators Sinclair and Nexstar refusing to broadcast the show.

‘Which kind of makes the numbers even more extraordinary – a big chunk of the country couldn’t get it,’ she noted.

Discussing the many millions of views Kimmel received on YouTube and other social media platforms, Dokoupil cut in with a dose of reality.

‘But the 26million [views] on social media, most of that money doesn’t go to ABC,’ he said.

‘And the business is bad if you’re offending half the country – ones that voted for the guy he doesn’t like. So. Here we are. Good luck, late-night.’

Dokoupil’s frankness appeared to leave King momentarily stunned in her anchor chair.

Fortunately, CBS need not worry about its own late night host tanking their ratings ratings by insulting half the country and turning his show into MSNBC with an opening monologue and a horn section.

THEY PREFER NOT TO SAY THINGS DIRECTLY:

QUESTION ASKED: Is the cult of Obama finally over? At the O2 Arena in London, the president sounded exasperated. His worldview had lost.

For people like Fran who wanted answers, Obama gave none. He just seemed depressed. He said that Britain, like America, is at a “fork in the road.” He said that we’re too materialistic, and have lost two historic defenses against consumerism: religion and counterculture. (Hip-hop used to have a purpose, now rappers just talk about money.) He said there was a “significant risk” that AI becomes a tool of oppression and censorship, and said that Donald Trump has committed “violence against the truth.” “Old men hanging on who are afraid of death” cause 80 percent of the world’s problems, he told the audience, with exasperated frankness. His world view had lost.

After an hour-and-a-bit he was done. [British historian David Olusoga] said “Mr President, thank you for your leadership,” and Obama smiled, waved and left. People ran for the doors. To get the train home, to rush to their friends and loved ones, to proclaim that their king was dead.

In 2013, Ace of Spades wrote of “The MacGuffinization of American Politics:”

American politics is now merely a MacGuffin, an important-sounding but ultimately inconsequential and disposable plot device for holding interest in the Hero’s Journey.

Ultimately the only thing that matters is the Hero itself. It doesn’t matter why the Hero Barack Obama wants the Lost Ark of Sensible Gun Control, or the Shankara Stones of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, or the Democratic Holy Grail of Affordable Health Care. These are very minor details and only matter to the extent the Hero exerts himself to achieve them.

The viewers of this film don’t really care about these things, but only Obama’s frustration at being denied them, or his joy in attaining them.

“This is a big f***ing deal,” his incompetent Comic Sidekick said as he signed Obamacare into law. What the “this” was didn’t matter then, as it scarcely matters now.

What counted was that the Hero had won.

Politics is now a MacGuffin in American politics, at least for the frothing fanbois of the Hero Barack Obama.

It doesn’t matter what his goals actually are — it only matters that he succeeds in those quests, whatever they might be.

Chris Matthews sums up, neatly, his only genuine interest in American politics for the past five years:

“We have real people in this country with real power and status who have used that status of power to hurt the country so they could hurt the president.

Great moments in projection, considering what Chris’s fellow Democrats would be hurling non-stop at Obama’s successor, just three years later.

K-12 IMPLOSION UPDATE: Barack Obama Admits Officials Ignored Negative Evidence on COVID School Closures.

Barack Obama claims that the government had evidence that the virus was not dangerous to children as early as the Spring of 2020. Indeed, Donald Trump first urged the schools to reopen in April of that year. He repeated his demand in July, tweeting “SCHOOLS MUST OPEN IN THE FALL!!!”.

But by then, the National Education Association (NEA) had politicized the school opening issue, and Democrats were saying Trump wanted to kill little kids.

Obama told a British reporter, “Sometimes we weren’t looking at some of the evidence that said: ‘You know what, most kids really need school.’” He added that “it got politicised and became ideological and was viewed as a Left versus Right issue.”

If only he had thought that during his third term in office: Never forget: It was Randi Weingarten and the Bidens who sacrificed a generation of kids.

LATE NIGHT LAUGHS AND ENTERTAINMENT: Colbert, Strong Blame George H.W. Bush For Impending Climate Doom.

No Republican is safe from CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’s wrath, not even former President and quintessential moderate George H.W. Bush. According to Colbert and actor* Jeremy Strong on Thursday, “we risk losing essentially everything” to climate change, and it is Bush’s fault.

Colbert teed up Strong, “You have a documentary about our burning world.”

An appreciative Strong took the opportunity to promote the project, “Yeah, I executive produced an incredible documentary called The White House Effect that is coming out on Netflix at the end of next month. It’s coming out on Netflix on October 31, and thank you for giving me a chance to talk about it. You know, I really think it’s, like, mandatory viewing for anyone who cares about our planet, and… the film is a kind of origin story of the climate crisis and how we got into the, kind of, political quagmire that we are in now that has prevented any real action.”

“Mandatory viewing?!” The people who tell me the earth is doomed also tell me that if everybody tunes into Netflix, it’s very very bad for the environment: Your Netflix binge-watching makes climate change worse, say experts.

But how could it be that there are any humans still alive after Papa Bush’s administration?

In the late 1980s the U.N. was already claiming the world had only a decade to solve global warming or face the consequences.

The San Jose Mercury News reported on June 30, 1989 that a “senior environmental official at the United Nations, Noel Brown, says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the earth by rising sea levels if global warming is not reversed by the year 2000.”

That prediction didn’t come true 15 years ago, and the U.N. is sounding the same alarm today.

“25 Years Of Predicting The Global Warming ‘Tipping Point,’” Michael Bastach, the Daily Caller, May 4, 2015.

* Always trust the actors on the environment. They know about such things: “Remember back in 1988 when this program debuted, Ted Danson predicted that we only had ten years to live because the oceans were going to be dead and, if the oceans died, then we would soon follow?”

TRICOLOR AUTO’S FAILURE HAS IT ALL: ESG, Woke Capital, Illegal Immigration, Securities Fraud, Government Diversity Programs, BlackRock, etc.

Tricolor Auto Group, the nation’s seventh largest used car dealer (and 3rd biggest in Texas and California), just filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy – e.g. liquidation. Its target customer had been illegal aliens, and with President Trump deciding to start enforcing the nation’s immigration laws, there has suddenly been a major “market correction” in that market segment. Not only has the customer base largely evaporated, but so have loan repayments, which Tricolor also serviced.

The “tri colors” that the name references are the colors of the Mexican flag – red, white, and green.

While the sudden loss of customers and loan repayments was the catalyst that caused the final collapse of Tricolor, its failure has revealed so much more, including securities fraud, Wall Street ESG gimmickry, race-based federal programs, etc.

Tricolor has securitized more than $2 billion of its very high risk auto loans over the past seven years. The most recent issuance was in June of this year, with JP Morgan Chase and other money center banks peddling more than $200 million of “social bonds” to credulous investors. These securities are certified as “social bonds” by the US Treasury’s CDFI (“Community Development Financial Institution”) program because Tricolor focuses on selling its cars and financial services to underserved communities, specifically Spanish-speaking non-citizens. Tricolor’s CEO, Daniel Chu, was quoted by Barron’s in 2022 as stating, “No one else is providing meaningful dollar credit to an illegal immigrant.”

The key word there being “illegal.” Exit quote:

You may recall that a major contributor to the financial crash of 2008 was Wall Street wizards packaging up a bunch of sub-prime mortgages, securitizing them, and then selling those “mortgage backed securities” to investors as something other than perfumed garbage. That is effectively what Tricolor has been doing with its auto loans, with the help of Wall Street.

Read the whole thing.

DON SURBER: Trump games Schumer: Democrats have made themselves irrelevant.

Democrats have no leverage. None. They turned a large minority into a worthless piece of snit, throwing hissy fits hither and yon on TV while the nation yawns. They can huff and they can puff but they cannot blow the White House down because it is made of Trump, not balsa wood.

Schumer thought he was so clever by opposing each and every request from President Trump, but time proved that foolish because Trump knows how to herd cats and got Republicans to stick together, with a few kittens straying here and there.

Trump now knows he does not need Schumer any more than he needs an ear infection.

Well, said.
