KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: The Kamala Effect — Some Dems Want Off the Diversity Train for ’28. “Harris is still floating the possibility of presidential run in 2028. The Democrats aren’t really casting their eyes her way, however, just like they didn’t in 2020. In fact, they might end up running as far away from the idea of Kamala Harris as they can.”

THAT’S DIFFERENT BECAUSE SHUT UP:

THAT SHOOTING YOURSELF IN THE LEG CAN BE TOTALLY WORTH IT? There’s a Basic Lesson From the Jill Biden Secret Service Detail Negligent Discharge. “What the spokesperson couldn’t or wouldn’t explain was why an on-duty Secret Service agent, away from his protectee and with no threat present, drew his service weapon, therefore requiring him to re-holster in a manner that led to him negligently shooting himself in the ass. That seems a bit fishy even to the casual observer.”

DEPOSING NON-EXISTENT MONARCHS IS A LUCRATIVE GRIFT:

I looked into these two last year during the anti-Tesla/DOGE/Musk protests, and here’s what I found:

Indivisible Project’s parent organization — more on that in a moment — was founded and is run by the husband-wife team of Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin. Greenberg is your typical NGO type — nice upbringing, good schools, brief Capitol Hill career with Tom Perriello (D-Va.) and at State. She followed up with the creation of an online anti-Trump publication called “Indivisible: A Practical Guide for Resisting the Trump Agenda,” and the establishment of the Indivisible Civics organization.

While DataRepublican doesn’t show Indivisible Civics receiving any taxpayer money, it has received $5,424,005 from somewhere, with about half of those funds going to wages and salaries and another 10% to benefits.

But here’s where it gets fun. The fine print disclaimer at the bottom of the since-deleted signup page reads, “Indivisible.org is a joint website of Indivisible Project and Indivisible Action. Indivisible Project is a registered 501(c)(4). Indivisible Action is a Hybrid Polítical Action Committee. They are separate organizations.”

That’s legalese for “the parent organization (Indivisible Civics aka Indivisible.org) is legally and financially shielded from any stupid stuff people do with the money and encouragement of the new organization (Indivisible Project).” But again, money is fungible — so wink-wink, nudge-nudge, comrade.

Back in the ’80s, we called that “plausible deniability.”

And now we know they’re more well-to-do red-diaper grifters shilling for George Soros — surprising exactly nobody.

PRETENDING THE FRINGE IS MAINSTREAM IS HOW THE PRESS SMEARS THE GOP; PRETENDING THE FRINGE DOESN’T EXIST IS HOW THE PRESS PROTECTS DEMS:

SQUEEZE HARDER: Dubai crackdown hits Iran’s economic lifeline, squeezes IRGC networks.

The arrest of dozens of IRGC-linked money changers in the United Arab Emirates is one of the most serious blows yet to Tehran’s sanctions-evasion network, laying bare how heavily the Islamic Republic has depended on Dubai as an economic lifeline.

Sources familiar with the matter told Iran International that UAE authorities detained dozens of money changers tied to financial entities linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, shut down associated companies and closed their offices.

The crackdown follows days of mounting regional tensions and comes after other measures targeting Iranian nationals, including visa revocations and tighter travel restrictions through Dubai.

For years, Dubai has served as Iran’s main offshore financial artery, where oil proceeds, petrochemical revenues and rial conversions were turned into dollars, dirhams and euros beyond the reach of the country’s battered domestic banking system.

“This is going to be a real problem for Tehran because Dubai was an economic lung for the Iranian regime,” Jason Brodsky of United Against Nuclear Iran told Iran International.

“That is economic pressure and diplomatic isolation in a way that the UAE is able to employ against the Iranian regime, and it will have a very considerable impact.”

This is no time to go wobbly.

STOP CODDLING THE MENTALLY ILL: You Can’t Tell The Satanic Leftwing Tranny Deathcults Without A Program. “Friday’s LinkSwarm entry on crazy tranny shooter Robert Paul Westman’s link to various satanic death cults was pretty brief, but there seems to be a lot more to cover there. Starting with America’s Transtifa problem.”

DISPATCHES FROM THE BLUE ZONES:

HMM: Reserve Sheriff’s Deputy Sues VW After He Was Fired for Having His Service Weapon in His Car.

Luis Rivera worked for Volkswagen at the company’s Chattanooga, Tennessee plant for 14 years. He was a production team leader there. Rivera is also a reserve deputy in the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office. Last June Rivera stopped at the VW plant after some training to pick something up and had his service gun in his car. That, VW says, violated the company’s no-weapons-in-the-workplace policy and the German auto maker fired him.

However…Tennessee is one of the most gun-friendly states in US of A. Volunteer State law — Section 39-17-1313 — permits lawful gun owners to store firearms in their vehicles as long as the firearm is kept out of sight. Rivera has now sued Volkswagen for violating Tennessee law and he’s seeking at least half a million dollars.

He seems to have a strong case.

DON’T BE SURPRISED IF THAT FIGURE TURNS OUT TO BE LOW-BALL:

UPDATE (FROM GLENN):

JUST ANOTHER WELL-TO-DO RED-DIAPER GRIFTER:

ONCE AGAIN I SAY, LET IT ALL OUT, KURT:

SCOTUS OR NOT, THIS HAS GOT TO STOP: HUNDREDS of companies provide BIRTH TOURISM for foreign moms who want US citizen babies.

During oral arguments before the Supreme Court regarding birthright citizenship, the Trump administration noted the prevalence of “birth tourism,” or the action of an expecting foreign national traveling to the United States with the intention of giving birth to their child on American soil, granting them US citizenship.

Kayleigh McEnany said on Fox News as the Supreme Court was in session, “There are more than 500 firms in China that facilitate people coming from the Chinese Communist Party to give birth here in the United States. Obama enabled this through loopholes dating back to 2009, and what that could mean is 1 million new voters by 2030. Imagine that, Communist Party voters.”

Over the years, a number of companies across the US and its territories have catered to mothers from countries such as Russia and China. Recent reports have revealed companies operating in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, a US territory in the Pacific.

Insane and self-destructive, just like the rest of Obama’s legacy.
