ARE THEY TRYING TO HIDE SOMETHING? Justice Department sues 6 states for failing to turn over voter registration rolls.
The suits were filed against the top election officials in California, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania and allege the moves not to provide the voter registration rolls violate federal law.
“Clean voter rolls are the foundation of free and fair elections,” Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement. “Every state has a responsibility to ensure that voter registration records are accurate, accessible and secure — states that don’t fulfill that obligation will see this Department of Justice in court.”
The suits, filed in federal courts in each state, seek to force the elections officials to provide all voter information contained in their registration rolls, including names, birth dates, driver’s license numbers and partial Social Security numbers. The Justice Department claimed that failing to turn over the rolls prevents the attorney general from determining whether the states are following list maintenance requirements in a federal law known as the Help America Vote Act.
The “Are they trying to hide something?” was rhetorical.
THERE’S A FIX FOR THIS: Portland Dems Attempt to Sabotage ICE Deportations with ‘Land Use’ Agreements.
The office of Portland Democratic Mayor Keith Wilson said on Wednesday that he would be “launching a process to determine whether the site’s detention practices comply with the conditions of the site’s land use approval.”
Wilson’s office claimed there were “more than two dozen detention policy violations of the [South Waterfront] facility’s land use conditions of approval” over the course of 10 months.
Those purported violations involve not allowing detainees to be “kept overnight or held for more than 12 hours.”
The city’s permitting bureau investigated the facility and concluded that detainees were held past the limits at least 25 times between Oct. 1, 2024, and July 27, 2025.
“U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement made clear detention limitation commitments to our community, and we believe they broke those policies more than two dozen times,” Wilson said.
“I am proud of our team for conducting a thorough, thoughtful investigation and referring the matter to the next steps in the land use violation process.”
The Feds own about 53% of Oregon land. Maybe they can find room to build a “Black Bear Hotel” along the lines of Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz.

Just remember that when a Democrat is president, the revisions go downward, and they go upward when the White House is held by the GOP.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE CHILDREN GONE? Where are they now? Urban public schools see steep fall in enrollment.
One third of students in mostly black districts are not in traditional public schools, Barshay notes. Students in high-poverty districts also are more likely to “lost” to their neighborhood schools.
Some of the missing students enrolled in charter schools, which saw their share of enrollment rise from 5 percent to 6 percent. “Virtual” schools’ share rose form 0.7 percent to 1.2 percent. As vouchers expand, private schools may begin growing too, but there’s not much evidence of that yet.
“Roughly 6 percent of students in the United States, or somewhere between 3 and 4 million, choose homeschooling — and that number seems to be growing,” write homeschooling advocates Angela R. Watson and Matthew H. Lee in Education Next.
I suspect many homeschoolers and microschoolers are flying under the radar, and don’t show up in official statistics.
Let’s hope they stay under the radar, where “helpful” busybodies won’t notice them.
LOOKS PRETTY ORGANIZED TO ME: Antifa Issued Anti-ICE Threats Pre-Shooting.

HEH: Look What the Clever Bastards at Franklin Armory Did to the ATF.
Under US law, a short-barreled rifle is “a rifle having one or more barrels less than sixteen inches in length and any weapon made from a rifle (whether by alteration, modification, or otherwise) if such weapon, as modified, has an overall length of less than twenty-six inches”.
Ok, and what is a rifle? It is (emphasis added) “a weapon designed or redesigned, made or remade, and intended to be fired from the shoulder and designed or redesigned and made or remade to use the energy of an explosive to fire only a single projectile through a rifled bore for each single pull of the trigger”.
Last Thursday, the mad scientists at Franklin Armory launched the Antithesis. It is, as far as we can tell, a bog-standard AR-15 that comes in 7.5-12.5” barrel configurations.
One day later, Franklin Armory pulled the Antithesis off their site under threat from the ATF. Here’s what happened.
Franklin Armory noticed the bold section in the definition of “rifle” above. They built an Antithesis that, like well-known combination guns such as the Taurus Judge, fires both .45 Long Colt ammo and .410 shot shells. They argued that because the shot shells contain multiple projectiles, the Antithesis is not a rifle. Therefore it can’t be a short-barreled rifle and isn’t subject to NFA regulation. After lengthy litigation, the ATF issued a letter this August agreeing with Franklin Armory’s contention that the Antithesis isn’t an SBR.
Two weeks and change after that letter, Franklin Armory announced the Antithesis in 5.56mm, for sale immediately.

CHRISTOPHER RUFO: Radical Normie Terrorism.
In addition to their shared fixation with transgenderism, both Westman and Robinson immersed themselves in peculiar digital subcultures. These online spaces were not hubs of Marxism—or even transgenderism, strictly speaking—but of memes, attitudes, copycatting, in-jokes, and irony that, in certain cases, spilled over into violence. Both men allegedly acted out their fantasies not to advance a coherent ideology shaped by study or political organizing but to gratify an obscure personal urge.
In a note to his transgender boyfriend, Robinson wrote that he wanted to stop Charlie Kirk’s “hate.” While this may hint at a nascent ideology, the remark was perfunctory and incidental to the crime. Robinson did not seek to change policy or dismantle a system of government. He seems instead to have wanted to kill a man who spoke openly about transgenderism and embodied a vague notion of “hate.”
Another striking pattern in these crimes is that, at least from initial reporting, the alleged perpetrators came from ordinary, middle-class, Middle American families. Westman’s mother, for example, was active in her Catholic parish in Minneapolis. These were not visibly broken homes but functional households that nonetheless produced monsters—what we might call “radical normie terrorism.”
Radical normie terrorism poses a new challenge for law enforcement. As a veteran FBI agent told me, domestic law enforcement has no systematic program to identify, assess, and respond to this kind of online radicalization. The Bureau still relies on old-fashioned methods—processing tips, knocking on doors, interviewing witnesses—and, in most cases, cannot intervene against disturbed individuals until after they strike.
Maybe the FBI could try reading Reddit.
