SHOCKED, SHOCKED, SHOCKED:  Two “migrants” tried to break into a Marine Corps base in Virginia. One was a Jordanian national, the other was on the terror watchlist.

DEMOCRATS PRACTICE ELECTION CONTROL LIKE THEY DO BIRTH CONTROL: MULTIPLE METHODS. ILLEGALS VOTING, EXTRA BALLOTS, AND INSECURE ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES:  “Up to a third” of illegal immigrants are registered to vote, according to new study: “Potentially high enough to overturn the will of the American people.”

MY LATEST SUBSTACK ESSAY: Harrison Butker, Harbinger?

THIS NAKBA DAY MESSAGE IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY TRUTH: Also worth noting. Before the Palestinian cause became a thing, in the Arab world the “Nakba” or catastrophe wasn’t the displacement of Arabs from Palestine, but the failure of five Arab armies plus Palestinian Arab militias to wipe out the nascent state of Israel and kill or expel its Jewish residents.

WHEN YOU GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO APPEASE LEFTIST ANGER: KC mayor apologizes for city’s ‘inappropriate’ message about Chiefs’ Harrison Butker.

But a terrible solution is offered: “Mostly, it made me think that what your organization needs isn’t outside DEI consultants. Your organization needs … a dedicated in-house DEI manager!”

No, it needs to move on from DEI stuff, which is so 2020 anyway.
