PASS THE JUCHE ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE: Can’t get more extreme: Mamdani’s DSA rallied for NORTH KOREA.

Wow: Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America actually co-sponsored a rally for Korean unification — under the tyrannical Kim Jong Un.

Yep: The DSA’s NYC chapter backed the “People’s Summit for Korea” at Riverside Church late last month, along other progressive outfits like the Party for Socialism and Liberation, even though (or because?) it glorified the grotesque North Korean state.

Somehow, admiring a dictatorship that has impoverished and starved half the Korean peninsula (even as South Korea has risen to prosperity) is part of the modern left’s “unicause,” right up there with taxpayer-funded transgender surgeries.

PRICELESS! JD Vance’s Response to His Not-So-Flattering South Park Portrayal Is WHY He MUST Be President.

Kudos to Vance for being a good sport; incidentally, if you’re curious as to why South Park overlooked the low-hanging comedy fruit that was Brandon, this might be why:

UPDATE: “When South Park is on target, and it often is, it’s a vicious over-the-top indictment of the way we live now. Parker and Stone are the scatological satiric geniuses of our time, and they’ve figured out a way into the whirlwind of Trump’s second term. As Trump said himself in a ridiculous weekend post, woke is dead, being a Republican is cool again. That also means that anti-woke Republicanism is now the language of the establishment. And the whole point of satirical comedy is to knock the establishment down a peg. This time, the establishment, though maybe not Trump himself, is embracing the satire. J.D. Vance, responding to a cartoon depicting him as a servile sex dwarf, tweeted, ‘We’ll I’ve finally made it.’ For Charlie Kirk, the South Park episode is the best thing that’s ever happened to his brand. He posted a clip from the episode where Cartman receives a nomination for the ‘Charlie Kirk Award For Young MasterDebaters.’  How do we know we live in a free country? When a cartoon can depict a president as having a gay love affair with Satan, and that president’s literal and figurative Number Two says ‘more, please.’”

SKYNET SMILES: James Cameron warns AI could make Terminator reality, but defends use in films.

Director James Cameron worries that weaponized artificial intelligence run amok is a real threat to humanity, making his Terminator movie franchise no longer the stuff of science fiction, telling Rolling Stone:

“I do think there’s still a danger of a ‘Terminator’-style apocalypse where you put AI together with weapons systems, even up to the level of nuclear weapon systems, nuclear defense counterstrike, all that stuff. Because the theater of operations is so rapid, the decision windows are so fast, it would take a super-intelligence to be able to process it, and maybe we’ll be smart and keep a human in the loop. But humans are fallible, and there have been a lot of mistakes made that have put us right on the brink of international incidents that could have led to nuclear war. So I don’t know.”

“I feel like we’re at this cusp in human development where you’ve got the three existential threats: climate and our overall degradation of the natural world, nuclear weapons, and super-intelligence,” he added. “They’re all sort of manifesting and peaking at the same time. Maybe the super-intelligence is the answer. I don’t know. I’m not predicting that, but it might be.”

Why is why you should never, ever, call an automated phone tree a “clanker.”

IS OUR CHILDREN LEARNING? “History Teacher Defends Indigenous Child Sacrifice. Excuse me?!” New video from Matt Walsh:

Exit quote: “Now, the Incas may have built stone structures that were a few stories high, but Europeans were coming from a culture that had massive cathedrals. They had universities. Oxford University was founded 400 years before the Incan Empire existed. I mean, think about that. Expecting the Spanish to be impressed with big stone temples in 1530, it’s like expecting somebody in 2025 to be impressed by a society that just started using the printing press.”

DO NOT TAUNT HAPPY FUN SKYNET: NBC News Has Discovered the Latest Hate Crime – Now There Is an Intolerant Slur…for Robots.

With the growing specter of artificial intelligence looming larger by the day into the lives of skin-bag carbon-based, soul-privileged humans, we are becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the concept of sharing our existence with automatons. And in response to this incursion, intolerance is rearing up, and more examples of exclusionary activity are being seen as an undercurrent of segregation is welling.

One indication of this respiratory supremacy is found in the language. I am here to warn you readers that you should never use the term “Clankers” towards any automated entity.

This is according to NBC News, reporting that growing resentment towards AI, robotic phone operators, delivery drones, self-driving vehicles, and other members of the protected automaton class has led to the rise of this epithet. What the site deems to be “a slur for robots and AI” originated in the “Star Wars” property, and it has crossed over to real life, with the hateful term used in a derogatory fashion towards the Skynet migration into our lives.

The anti-machine backlash has long been simmering but is now seemingly breaking to the surface. People are becoming more worried about AI taking their jobs, even though evidence of actual AI-related job losses is relatively scant.

This is the impetus for robotic discrimination. Call it “Bigot Tech.” And just when you are about to dismiss this as an unserious development, NBC News, of course, found an “expert” who goes along with this automated activism.

Adam Aleksic, a linguist who is also a content creator focused on how the internet is shaping language, said he first noticed the emergence of “clanker” a couple of weeks ago. Its use mirrored classic slurs related to racial tropes and appeared to emerge out of a growing “cultural need” related to growing unease with where advanced technology is heading. “What we’re doing is we’re anthropomorphizing and personifying and simplifying the concept of an AI, reducing it into an analogy of a human and kind of playing into the same tropes,” Aleksic said. “Naturally, when we trend in that direction, it does play into those tropes of how people have treated marginalized communities before.”

BRENDAN O’NEILL: Meet the Zyklon B heiress who is sailing to Gaza.

Sometimes something so perfect happens you find yourself Googling furiously to make sure it’s really true. The news that one Marlene Engelhorn from Austria is joining the next flotilla to Gaza is one such story. For Ms Engelhorn is an heiress of a German industrial dynasty that profited from the production of Zyklon B, the cyanide that was used to gas and slaughter millions of Jews during the Holocaust. Her family profited from the Nazi extermination of the Jewish people and now she rages against the Jewish State – who was it who said history doesn’t repeat itself but it sometimes rhymes?

Ms Engelhorn inherited $27.1million from her family’s coffers. And some of that generational wealth has pretty disgusting origins. She is a descendant of Friedrich Engelhorn, who founded the German chemicals giant, BASF. In the 1920s, BASF merged with IG Farben. Some readers may have heard of that latter chemical conglomerate – its name lives in infamy as the producer of the poisonous gas the Nazis used to try to wipe the Jews from the face of the Earth. When her grandmother died in 2022, Ms Engelhorn got millions of Euros from this dynasty with a dark history.

As Mark Steyn once wrote, “The old joke — that the Germans will never forgive the Jews for Auschwitz — gets truer every week.”

HOLLYWOOD OFFICIALLY OUT OF NEW IDEAS: Netflix Collars William Shatner Cop Series T.J. Hooker For Action Comedy Movie.

Hot on the trail of a strong weekend opening of The Naked Gun, the ’80s prime time procedural T.J. Hooker will be next procedural in line for promotion to an action comedy movie. Netflix has collared screen rights to the venerable cop drama, with Jarrad Paul & Andy Mogel tapped to write. The film will be produced by Sophie Cassidy and Matt Crespy for 2.0 Entertainment, Adrian Askarieh for Prime Universe Films, and Alex Westmore for Vali Vista Films.

The original series premiered in March 1982 on ABC and ended its five-season, 91-episode run in 1986, with its final season airing on CBS. The show starred William Shatner as Sgt. T.J. Hooker of the LCPD, a hard-nosed veteran reeling from a divorce from his wife and the loss of his partner in the line of duty. Principled, moral, and driven to fight crime, the former plainclothes detective returns to uniform to train recruits and clean up the streets of criminals like the kind who killed his partner. Heather Locklear, Adrian Zmed and James Darren also starred. It is at this point unclear whether the 94-year old Shatner will be involved.

C’mon – if Shatner still got a pulse, you know he’ll redon the Shatner Turbo 2000™ and make a cameo appearance, just as 99-year old Mel Brooks is appearing in Spaceballs II, another potentially disastrous attempt to cash-in on eighties-era nostalgia.

EVE BARLOW: Hooray for Pallywood.

Yesterday the German newspaper Bild published about Hamas’ propaganda in the press vis-a-vis the intentional starvation storyline.

”In the Gaza Strip, almost exclusively Palestinian photographers are now taking photographs – quite a few with Hamas connections. Historian and photography expert Gerhard Paul told the Süddeutsche Zeitung: “In southern Gaza, Hamas controls 100 percent of image production.” The goal: to generate sympathy in the West and stir up anger against Israel.”

I noticed that the staged photo was the one that TIME put on the cover. So I exposed that yesterday, and millions of people saw. If TIME Magazine had any journalistic integrity left, they would admit that they staged this image and instead put the image of starved hostages on the cover and demand their release. They won’t, duh. Because this wasn’t a case of TIME running Hamas propaganda; this was a case of TIME producing Hamas propaganda.

Now, a kneejerk reaction to my exposing of this wasn’t shock – but disgust. With me. Disgust with me, and not Hamas, or TIME. Disgust that I could be comfortable exposing a staged photograph of starvation. Make it make sense. It’s distateful to question the journalistic integrity, you see. This cover of TIME speaks a thousand words. Not about intentional starvation of children, no. It speaks a thousand words about the war for public opinion that has been ongoing for decades. It’s a war that hasn’t just hijacked the media, but international law, to demonize, delegitimize and apply double standards to the Jew among the nations, ie Israel. This is what’s fuelling and normalizing the antisemitism we see in the Diaspora every single day.

DISPATCHES FROM THE DILDO WARS: Sophie Cunningham Pelted By Third Sex Toy In A Week, WNBA Enters Crisis Mode.

Well, we’ve obviously reached the serial stage of the WNBA’s dildo-tossing epidemic. They say to become a serial killer, you have to kill between 3-5 people, right?

What about a serial dildo-tosser? Because we had our third green dildo hit the floor in a week last night, and it’s clear this isn’t going away any time soon. So, we need an answer to that question, because we’re there, boys and girls. We’ve got a serial dildo-tosser(s) harassing the WNBA right now, and it’s getting scary out there.

Lock your doors. Issue a curfew. Protect yourselves. There are dildos FLYING left and right now.

The latest Adam & Ave purchase (allegedly) hit Sophie Cunningham, too. That’s the big story this morning. Sure, we could talk about the NFL-ESPN merger. Or the MLB pennant races. But when Sophie Cunningham nearly gets pelted by a dildo, everything else goes to the backseat.

Sophie nearly became a victim at last night’s Fever-Sparks game, and I, frankly, won’t stand for that. When you attack Sophie, you attack all of us. Take anyone else. Leave Sophie alone.

The WNBA has issued a stern warning to the person attending tonight’s game: WNBA enforces ‘no bag policy’ to stop dildo throwers.

There are ways around this, however:

But be forewarned, the penalty for violating this new rule will be an extremely harsh one:

OUR MAN IN MIAMI: James May Visits Miami’s Floating Ghost Town (Video).

Stiltsville, which as May notes was built in the 1920s and early ’30s as a way around Prohibition, and largely demolished by Hurricane Betsy in 1965 and Hurricane Andrew in 1992, was the location for a shootout in one of Miami Vice’s best second season episodes:

HOW IT STARTED:

The CBS Television network was in full swing for the Apollo 11 mission, coast to coast and beyond. Cronkite could talk directly to stations in eight U.S. cities. A roving mobile unit drove all over Greater New York collecting the opinions of everyday people. Cronkite didn’t want to hear anything negative about NASA on his broadcast. Bill Plante, for example, clashed with him over CBS’s Apollo 11 reaction coverage. Plante had been asked to conduct the man-on-the-street segment in New York City, and in Harlem and the Bronx he got a surprise: a lot of New York residents thought Apollo 11 was a waste of money that would be better spent winning the war on poverty. There were many Nancy Cronkites in America who saw the Apollo program as a bad use of time and money for environmental reasons. “Walter had so bought into space,” Plante recalled, “that any criticism of the moon launch in 1969 was anathema to him. But he let it air.”

What differentiated Cronkite from Armstrong was the effusiveness with which he spoke about the Moon. To Armstrong—the Korean War fighter pilot of seventy-eight missions—the lunar walk was an assignment. Armstrong was repulsed by the efforts of journalists who insisted that fame could supersede true accomplishment. While Cronkite had to make Apollo 11 seem romantic for television ratings, Armstrong demurred. When asked decades later in an interview whether he ever looked into space in the summer of 1969 and thought how beautiful the Moon was, a stony-faced Armstrong replied, “No, I never did that.”

Although Cronkite stayed his on-stage avuncular self, he didn’t respect critics of Apollo 11. Kurt Vonnegut, riding the wave of publicity generated by the recent publication of Slaughterhouse-Five, appeared on Cronkite’s Apollo 11 broadcast full of scorn toward all things NASA, even calling the astronauts “short-haired, white athletes” infatuated with pressure cookers. Cronkite was “bitter” toward Vonnegut, a friend, for being so cruel to the bravest Americans he knew. When Norman Mailer belittled the Apollo 11 astronauts in his book Of a Fire on the Moon, deriding them with bohemian bravado as “three young executives announcing their corporation’s newest subdivision,” Cronkite cut ties with him for five or six years.

—From Douglas Brinkley’s 2012 biography of Walter Cronkite.

How it’s going: CBS host warns Trump admin plans for moon base could usher in new age of space colonialism.

CBS News host Vladimir Duthiers questioned the Trump administration’s plan to establish a base on the moon and drew parallels to Earth’s history of colonialism.

On “CBS Mornings Plus” on Wednesday, Duthiers and co-host Adriana Diaz discussed the White House calling for more human space exploration and administration plans to build a nuclear reactor on the moon to precede an eventual U.S. lunar base with astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Diaz asked if it was “inevitable that we’re going to have to go to the moon and try to colonize the Moon?”

Tyson said that the United States is being “reactive” in a race to the moon with China, and stated, to the laughter of the panel, that he does not want to “live on the moon.”

But Duthiers questioned if colonizing the moon was a good idea.

“We know how the age of colonialism worked on this planet*,” the host said. “Should we be trying to colonize and saying that there’s a keep-out zone that no other countries can participate in having?”

Tyson replied by pointing out that it would be difficult to colonize an area that does not have people.

“Well, the — the real problem with the colonization history in Western civilization is that there were people already there,” Tyson said.

Duthiers and Diaz agreed, and Tyson added that “there are no moon beings that were displaced as far as we know.”

So an American moon base is colonialism. If you’re “hot, fit and tan[,] Get ready for liberals to label you a MAGA fanatic.” Nazis are absolutely everywhere, including a prominent young blue jeans pitchwoman. Luigi Mangione is a superstar.

Do the left not get how unmoored they’ve become in recent years? Speaking of which: What Happened In 2013-2014 That Caused Democrat Pride In America To Fall Off A Cliff? “The formation of Black Lives Matter as an organized movement led to over a decade of non-stop virtue-signaling activism deriding the U.S. as systemically racist and worthy of deconstruction. It all culminated in the post-George Floyd riots and ‘anti-racism’ activism whose bubble finally appears to have burst. But not before severe damage was done to the nation, particularly Democrat pride in being American.”

PROFILES IN COURAGE: Texas Dem Who Fled State in Private Jet Compares Himself to Abraham Lincoln.

Texas state representative James Talarico (D.) compared himself to Abraham Lincoln while touting his party’s walkout to block Republican efforts to pass a new congressional map. But while the Great Emancipator attempted to break the quorum by jumping out of a window, Talarico did so by fleeing the Lone Star State in a private jet.

“We are in Illinois, and it’s appropriate because this is the land of Lincoln. And Abraham Lincoln actually broke quorum back in 1840 when he was a state senator by jumping out of the window of the Illinois state capitol,” Talarico said Tuesday on Pod Save America.

“Thankfully, I didn’t have to jump out of any windows in Texas, but we are joining a long tradition in America of standing up to bullies, of speaking truth to power, of causing good trouble,” the Democrat added. “And I know my colleagues and I are proud to do this work regardless of what consequences may come.”

But Talarico’s exit was far more luxurious than Lincoln’s leap. He was among the Texas Democrats who on Sunday boarded a 76-seat private jet operated by CommuteAir and flown out of a “state-of-the-art” private terminal at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, as the Washington Free Beacon reported. Talarico even announced the walkout from the tarmac.

The chartered flight likely cost around $30,000 and featured “comfortable 2×2 leather seating, two lavatories, ovens for hot meals, and two experienced flight attendants at your service.”

Isn’t the real story here that Lincoln is once again considered a good guy by the left? I’m so old, I can remember the last decade, when the woke left horseshoed alongside paleoconservatives to declare, like Cornpop before him, Lincoln was a very bad dude indeed, and thus his statues needed to be toppled everywhere:

● Calls to remove controversial Abraham Lincoln statue in Boston.

● Boston statue depicting a freed slave kneeling before Lincoln coming down.

● “Who would have guessed the author of the Gettysburg Address was a white supremacist?”

● “Not Pro-Black:” Wisconsin Students Unanimously Vote To Remove Lincoln Statue As Racist.

● Abraham Lincoln Statue Defaced at San Francisco City Hall.

● Lincoln statue must go, article in Syracuse student newspaper argues.

● Another Lincoln Statue In Jeopardy.

● UW-Madison student gov votes to remove Lincoln statue, a ‘remnant’ of ‘white supremacy.’

But hey, if the twin-Hitlers of the 21^st century, George W. Bush and Dick Cheney can be rehabilitated in service to the left, then why not Honest Abe as well?

At least until next year, when I’m sure he’ll be on the hate list again. Just ask Teddy Roosevelt.

ED MORRISSEY: 80 Years Later: The Case For Hiroshima.

These are just a few of the many arguments [Historian Richard Frank] puts forward in his book to answer revisionist theorizing about the non-atomic counterfactual. But to this, we must add the context of Japan’s conduct in the war, and their fanatical adherence to bushido code to justify it. No less than Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan was predicated on their belief in absolute racial/spiritual superiority. On that basis, their soldiers had brutalized China, Korea, the Philippines, Manchuria, and everywhere else they conquered. Their fanatical leadership believed in preordained ‘supremacist’ victory so thoroughly that they wanted to lure the US into an invasion of Kyushu, where they believed we would get so badly bloodied that we would thereafter leave them in place. That was the entire point of Ketsu-Go, their strategy for the invasion — to use Japanese civilians and nearly 600,000 soldiers in Japan as fodder for a battle that would have made Okinawa look like a day in the park and force the Americans to negotiate on Japan’s terms rather than ours.

The only way to break that spell was to demonstrate an ability to destroy Japan entirely without an invasion. And even with the atomic bombs, the imperial army nearly conducted a coup in order to keep fighting, which Hirohito only narrowly defeated with his radio address to the nation. It took nearly a week after Nagasaki for Japan to surrender for a reason, after all — and that surrender was necessary to ensure an end to fighting in other theaters, especially in China.

OH, TO BE IN ENGLAND: Crime has got so bad in Britain that foreign governments are warning their citizens about visiting.

Before Samuel* travelled from Australia to the UK last October, his friends and family warned him about London’s reputation for crime. “I had planned to travel all around Europe,” says the 27-year-old architecture student from Sydney, “but my parents said, ‘once you get to London, you need to be really careful’”.

Conversations about the soaring robbery and theft rates in London are commonplace for Australian travellers visiting the UK, says Samuel. “Everyone knows of somebody [in Australia] that’s had their phone stolen in London,” he says. “It’s definitely common to hear the warnings in Australia, everyone knows that.”

Despite the warnings, Samuel became one of around 80,000 people whose phones were stolen in London last year.

On the flip-side, it was likely a good Samaritan trying to save Samuel from a lengthy prison sentence for writing a spicy tweet: Lucy Connolly is in prison because of her politics.

WOMAN TAKES A ROAD TRIP IN HER TESLA. THEN SHE HAS TO STOP FIVE TIMES BETWEEN MINNEAPOLIS AND CHICAGO FOR A CHARGE.

Meryl records herself juicing up yet again before she’s back on the road, this time at a speedier 80 miles per hour. The sun has gotten visibly lower at this point in her journey. And as she arrives at her fourth supercharger, the amber glow of dusk hangs in the clouds. At the Supercharger station closest to her destination, there’s only a single vehicle juicing up, which looks like a Rivian. Again, Meryl plugs in her car and when she’s driving again, night still hasn’t set.

But it seems that she’s still not done charging her car, either. Because she has to juice up her Tesla yet again, plugging it in for the fifth time on her journey. At the end of her video, she records herself finally making it to Chicago. A text overlay in her clip reveals the total amount of time it took her to get there in an EV. “Made it from MN to Chicago in 7 hours,” she writes. Meryl punctuates her feelings about the total travel time with a crying emoji as her clip comes to an end.

Furthermore, a caption for her clip speaks to a problem many EV owners have opined about with regards to range estimate inaccuracies. She wrote: “I had to stop every 70 miles, I swear.”

For comparison, Google Maps projects that folks driving in a traditional, internal combustion engine vehicle from Minneapolis to Chicago, while maintaining the legal speed limit should make the 408-mile trip in 5 hours and 52 minutes.

If only there was a magical liquid readily available at convenient places along the side of the road that we could put inside our cars that would take just a few minutes to make them drivable again for many, many miles. I know that’s the stuff of science fiction, but one day, I’m sure it will be possible.

OLD AND BUSTED: Birchers See Communists Everywhere.

Let me ask you a question: if Pravda Media reporters challenged Democrats every time they compared Republicans to Nazis, how long before the Democrats tried a less insane tactic?

My prediction is that it would happen quickly.

As annoying as it is to be compared to Nazis, it’s not hard to see why Democrats keep doing it. The media encourages them to.

Any time a Republican makes an accusation, fair or not, about the crazy ideological positions of Democrats, the “journalists” jump in to defend the Democrats. When Democrats screw up, the Republicans are “pouncing” and “seizing.”

PolitiFact will write a long and detailed explanation defending Zohran Mamdani against charges that he is a communist, despite the fact that he quotes Marx on X, wants to “seize the means of production,” and eliminate private property. Yet if Mamdani or any Democrat accuses a Republican of being a Nazi, they nod along sagely, talking about threats to democracy.

All this looks absurd to us, and we take comfort in the fact that “nobody takes the Pravda Media seriously anymore.”

Related: The Left Who Cried ‘Nazi!’

The Left has called the Right — from Rush Limbaugh to Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush to Donald Trump — some form of Nazi for as long as I’ve been alive.

Now, when that accusation is hurled at us, we shrug.

For years, we did that. We said we weren’t Nazis, and the comparison was insulting to actual victims of Nazi atrocities. But that wasn’t enough for the Left.

They continued to insist we were Nazis because they said so. A denial, to the Left, was somehow ‘proof’ we were really Nazis. They wanted us to be Nazis, regardless of what we said and did. No denial was going to change their minds.

These people have turned a harmless ad for blue jeans into a two-week meltdown over ‘Nazi dog whistles’ because Sydney Sweeney is attractive and White.

So people just … gave up on caring. They gave up on engaging. Just like we did with the other pejoratives the Left’s hurled at us over the year.

“PJ” in the above tweet apparently sees Nazis everywhere, so it would be worth asking him to define his terms. The abbreviation means something, it stands for National Socialist German Workers’ Party, which had an extremely well-defined set of policies and even more well-defined actual history. Thus making it an awfully strange pejorative to attach to the half of this country that broadly speaking wishes to shrink government so that it would leave people alone.

Every Republican presidential candidate over the last 75 years has been called a Nazi by his opponents, whether that opponent is a Democratic politician or a Democratic Party operative with a byline. But that formula was completely broken last year by the Harris campaign, which actively sought the endorsements of the two politicians most smeared with the N-word at the start of the century, even as it was declaring Trump, actively campaigning to reduce the size of government, as plotting the fourth or fifth or sixth Reich.

Francis Fukuyama was off by a few decades; the “End of History” didn’t occur in 1991, for the left, it occurred in 1945, which is why they can’t move beyond seeing their small government-oriented fellow citizens as being crypto-National Socialists.
