THE ENEMY WITHIN:

THE COUNTER-RECONQUISTA: Grateful Migrant Repays His Hosts in Barcelona “There’s the old excuse again: for years now, European authorities have classified what are clearly Islamic jihadis as mentally ill, which allows them to continue to pretend that there is no such thing as Islamic jihad and that the mass migration of Muslims into Europe poses no cultural or civilizational threat.”

VIDEO: Hero Dad Drops a Persistent Carjacker Who Threatened His Family. “The “gentleman” in the peach shirt had already slammed a green sedan into two other vehicles nearby, then stumbled out like a man possessed. Not content with totaling ride #1, he launched a one-man crime spree, yanking door handles of other vehicles, trying to wrest doors open to steal a new set of wheels.”

Then he picked the entirely wrong car.

MAGA: The heartland’s revenge: how AI is reindustrializing the American interior.

America does not currently have the capacity to power these mega-projects, but the market is responding. Utilities are expanding existing plants, and a new generation of power stations is being planned, often funded directly by the “hyperscalers” themselves.

The materials for this build-out are coming from the “Rust Belt” and the South, regions once hollowed out by globalization. This reindustrialization is not accidental. Federal tax incentives, specifically domestic content requirements, have encouraged companies to source equipment from American manufacturers. But if policy is the carrot, our unique energy position is the engine.

By steering procurement toward domestic sources, federal policy has tapped into a decisive competitive advantage: our staggering abundance of natural gas. While much of the world faces shortages, the American interior is practically swimming in fuel. Because natural gas is often a byproduct of oil production, the shale revolution has created a massive surplus. Today, oil companies often flare this gas or pay to have it removed; now, new pipelines are being planned to transport it directly to the heavy industry hubs of the Heartland.

Here’s your takeaway: “For years, the goods economy relied on foreign products arriving at coastal hubs. But as the center of the country begins to export freight again, the gravity is shifting.”

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO MEGYN?

BEEGE: Keir Starmer Should Have Looked in the Harbor Before Signing Those Ukraine Loan Papers.

X has been full of reports of the Russian shadow fleet running fearlessly close to UK shores, basically with impunity.

Then off went the Prime Minister to Armenia this past weekend, to hobnob with his globalist European Union masters and see what he could do to bend the knee to earn further favor. It turns out that it only takes money.

The Bond villainess running the show wants £1B-a-year dues to join the EU club, and Starmer agreed to sign the UK up for the debt pool to finance the Ukrainian war and defense effort.

That little collective note will be setting its borrowers back by some £78B.

‘Where, oh, where,’ some observers of this off-site profligacy wondered, ‘will we ever find the money for OUR OWN DEFENSE if we’re paying for theirs?’

Suspicions were already high that the defense of the British Isles was not high on Starmer’s to-do list, and that came shockingly into public confirmation yesterday.

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: Let’s Hope Georgia Voters Realize 2021 Was One Big, Stupid Mistake. “Chris’s post has a laundry list of reminders about all that has hit the fan regarding the Southern Poverty Law Center recently. It’s no surprise that Ossoff has been remarkably mum about it all thus far. That won’t be easy to do once it’s general election time. Again, that all depends on whether the National Republican Senatorial Committee and the likely nominee Rep. Mike Collins play their cards right. That’s never a given with Republicans, but at least we know that Collins knows how to win an election.”

REDISTRICTING: Gov. Hochul eyes redistricting after NY loses residents, House seats.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said New York has been losing residents to other states because of a failure to build enough housing. She said that loss also cuts into the state’s representation in Congress.

“We’ve been losing too many New Yorkers, as I said, to other states because of our failure to build housing,” Hochul said.

Hochul said fewer residents make New York “more vulnerable” when Republicans in other states redraw districts to keep control of the House.

She said she planned to meet with Congressman Joe Morelle to discuss redistricting in New York and how that process could move forward after what she described as changes in the legal landscape following a Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act.

Hochul said any change in New York would not be done only by lawmakers and would instead have to go before voters.

“And I want to make sure that New Yorkers have a chance to vote on this — this will not just be done by the Legislature,” Hochul said.

There’s so much more than housing behind New York losing residents, but “affordable housing” is a lot like homelessness — it’s a longterm opportunity for graft, not a problem to be solved.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN):

BODYCAMS WERE A HUGE SELF-OWN FOR THE LEFT, AND A HUGE COMFORT FOR EVERYONE ELSE:

2020: Fulton County challenges DOJ subpoena targeting 2020 election workers.

The Fulton County Board of Registrations and Elections is now asking a federal court in Atlanta to quash the grand jury subpoena from federal agents, which requested the names, addresses, phone numbers and emails for any staff member who worked the 2020 election.

“Its purpose is to target, harass, and punish the President’s perceived political opponents; it is grossly overbroad and untethered to any reasonable need; it cannot yield any evidence that could result in a criminal prosecution,” lawyers for the Fulton County officials said in the motion filed Monday with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia.

The subpoena appears to escalate the Trump administration’s pressure on Fulton County amid an ongoing federal investigation into purported irregulates [sic] in the 2020 election.

Driven in part by Trump allies who unsuccessfully sought to use debunked theories to overturn the election, federal agents in January seized all the ballots and records from the 2020 election.

Debunked, eh? Well, I guess we’ll see about that if the investigation is allowed to continue.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU DESPISE THE MEDIA…:

Or the government, for that matter, which seems to think the issue is home-schooling.
