There’s no threat quite like an empty threat!

A fine gentleman named Tim Hannan, whose Twitter — I refuse to call it 𝕏 — biography simply describes himself as “New Yorker, pro-Democracy”, threatened us all with this vicious threat:

From here on out Donald Trump enablers are put on notice. Democracy will survive. We are not scared of Tinfoil dictator Trump. He may never be held to account but you will.

When challenged in Twitter by some, including me, to tell us how he was going to hold us accountable, but, perhaps unsurprisingly, the brave Mr Hannan chose not to respond.

What Mr Hannan wrote is not a legally specific threat, so it’s not something for which he could legally be held accountable, but we can certainly mock him, which many did.

The “No Kings” protests were on Saturday, but here it is, Monday morning, and I have yet to see anything in the news about Donald Trump no longer being President. It’s cool here, but the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and somehow I have yet to be held accountable for having cast one of the 77,302,580 votes which made Mr Trump our President today. 🙂

The pro-Palestinian demonstrators would never see the evil of Hamas, no matter how much evidence was presented to them

So very, very many of the pro-Hamas, pro-Palestinian demonstrators were decrying ‘genocide’ of the ‘Palestinians’ by Israel in the two-year-long war. They published all sorts of photos of places before-and-after the war. The same could have been done concerning Berlin and Dresden and Tokyo and Yokohama, because that’s what it takes to win wars. The last war we actually won was World War II, because we bombed and burned and blasted the infrastructure of Germany and Japan and, to a lesser extent, Italy, because that was what it took to starve their war machines and their governments. The lesson should be: don’t start a war you can’t win! Japan did, Germany did, Italy did, and now Hamas have done the same thing.

And now we know just what Hamas were trying to do:

Hamas Oct 7 memo shows meticulous plan to ‘end the children of Israel’

Story by Jotam Confino • Sunday, October 12, 2025

Yahya Sinwar sent to his eternal reward in Al-Hawwiyah.

An October 7 memo written by the Hamas leader in Gaza instructed members to burn down entire neighbourhoods, stamp on soldiers’ heads and broadcast the attack to the world.

It was followed up with orders from Hamas commanders to “kill everyone you encounter” and “end the children of Israel”.

The six-page memo, found in a bunker by the IDF, was written in Arabic by Yahya Sinwar, who was the Hamas leader until he was killed by the IDF in Gaza in October last year.

The original was published here, in London’s The Telegraph, but you need a subscription to see it. Here is The New York Times story on the discovered document.

Details were revealed in documents and intercepts discovered in Gaza and verified by The New York Times. They provide evidence that Hamas deliberately targeted civilians, contrary to their own claims throughout the war.

It also shows how carefully planned the attack was, despite some claiming it was sporadic.

It instructed bulldozers to destroy the fence separating Israel from Gaza, and for combatants to “stomp on the heads of soldiers,” as well as “opening fire on soldiers at point-blank range, slaughtering some of them with knives, blowing up tanks”.

“It needs to be affirmed to the unit commanders to undertake these actions intentionally, film them and broadcast images of them as fast as possible,” it stated.

“Two or three operations, in which an entire neighbourhood, kibbutz, or something similar will be burned, must be prepared,” the memo said.

Before the attack, a Hamas commander from Gaza City, known as Abu al-Baraa, told operatives near Kibbutz Sa’ad: “Document the scenes of horror, now, and broadcast them on TV channels to the whole world. Slaughter them. End the children of Israel.”

Well, we know that they did that part! Hamas and their minions did exactly that, and were intensely proud of having done so. The fake ‘journalist’ Saleh Aljafarawi celebrated the October 7 attack, but now he’s been killed, not by Israel, but another ‘Palestinian’ faction. Hamas have been executing Gazans they suspect of having collaborated with the IDF. They are nothing but a death cult.

Of course, our good-hearted and sympathetic and noble friends on the left will never recognize that the people they’ve been supporting are simply bloodthirsty killers. They’re all like the idiotic “queers for Palestine” people, people who Hamas and the other Islamists would happily slaughter for being queer.

And now it is being reported that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet with President Trump in Washington on Friday. Mr Trump failed in his earlier attempt to broker a ceasefire in the Russo-Ukrainian War, but there was never any real doubt that he’d try again. Will progress be made? Will the President succeed? Only the Lord knows the answer to that, but it is at least a possibility. If he succeeded, no one would be more hurt than Bill Kristol and the rest of the neocons.

Surprise: Hamas Declares Victory After UK, Canada, Australia Recognize Palestinian State

It wasn’t like tons of people stated that recognizing the Palestinian state would be a victory for the terrorists who started this on October 7th, right?

Hamas declares ‘victory’ after UK recognition of Palestine

Hamas has declared victory for “the justice of our cause” after Sir Keir Starmer announced Britain would recognise Palestinian statehood.
In a video message on Sunday, Sir Keir insisted the move, one of the most significant shifts in British foreign policy in decades, was “not a reward for Hamas”.

But Mahmoud Mardaw, a senior Hamas official, claimed it represented “a victory for Palestinian rights and the justice of our cause” and would “send a clear message” to Israel.

On Sunday night, US president Donald Trump said the decision was “rewarding Hamas”. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, he added: “I don’t think they should be rewarded. I am not in that camp, to be honest.”

Canada and Australia, which have been overrun with Islamist just like the UK, also recognized Palestinian statehood

“With the actions of Hamas, the Israeli government escalating the conflict and settlement building being accelerated in the West Bank, the hope of a two-state solution is fading, but we cannot let that light go out,” Starmer said.

Alongside similar announcements of recognition from Canada and Australia, he described Hamas as a “brutal terror organisation”.

He said: “We are clear this solution is not a reward for Hamas, because it means Hamas can have no future, no role in government, no role in security.”

The group which is a designated terrorist organization by the UK government disagrees.

Jewish organisations, including the Board of Deputies of British Jews, condemned the decision, arguing there will be “deep dismay at the Prime Minister’s announcement across the Jewish community”, while the Campaign Against Antisemitism described the decision as “Sir Keir Starmer’s Neville Chamberlain moment”.

Meanwhile, the families of hostages held by Hamas said the UK and its allies were responsible for a “catastrophic failure of political, moral and diplomatic leadership” and said any recognition of Palestine must be contingent on the release of their relatives.

Britain is lost.

Update: LOL

 

Every time you think the left can’t possibly get more stupid, they say, “Hold my beer!”

I will admit it: when I first saw this tweet from Greg Price, I had trouble believing it. No one, and I mean no one, could possibly be this stupid.

Total Chaos at Arlington School Board Meeting, and You Won’t Believe What Left-Wingers Were Defending

By Bonchie | Friday, August 22, 2025 9:45 AM EDT

What started with a racist sign outside an Arlington school board meeting devolved into total chaos on Thursday night, as left-wing activists went wild.

The meeting first drew attention when a left-winger of the Boomer generation was pictured holding a sign that read, “Hey Winsome, if trans can’t share your bathroom, then blacks can’t share my water fountain.” That was an insanely racist shot at Lt. Gov. Winsome Sears (R-VA), who is now running for governor. She showed up at the meeting to stand in solidarity with normal parents against the school district’s policy of allowing boys and men to use female restrooms and locker rooms.

Little did we know that a racist sign was just the beginning.

Once the meeting started, things went from bad to worse, with parents being heckled by rainbow-clad activists. Why? Because said parents had the audacity to object to a registered sex offender being allowed to use a girls’ locker room by claiming to be “transgender.”

Who is Richard Cox? He’s a man that the school district let use the aforementioned girls’ locker room, at which point he allegedly exposed himself to children. Innocent girls were actually forced to change next to him. That’s apparently something worth defending if you’re a deranged left-wing lunatic from Arlington, VA.

There’s more at the original.

As much as I like Bonchie and RedState, I will admit that they can get a bit strident, and not everyone will accept RedState as a legitimate news source, so I searched for credentialed media sources as well, and yup, Mr Cox was arrested for indecent exposure:

Transgender sex offender to appear in court for alleged exposure at Virginia schools, gyms

by WJLA Staff | Monday, March 3rd 2025 | 8:02 AM

ARLINGTON, Va. (WJLA) — Richard Cox, a registered child sex offender who identifies as transgender, will appear in court Monday for a hearing on alleged indecent exposure at a fitness center and two Virginia schools.

Cox, 58, is facing more than 20 charges in Arlington County, where he is accused of exposing himself to women and girls in female locker rooms. Continue reading

You in a heap o’ trouble, boy! You'll never see Walter Kegler again . . . unless you choose to visit him in prison

38th and Wallace Streets, via Google Maps.

Looking down 38th and Wallace Streets, using images from Google Maps taken in July of last year, the neighborhood doesn’t look like one of the worst in the City of Brotherly Love. Oh, it’s certainly not Rittenhouse Square or Chestnut Hill, but the rowhouses aren’t falling-down dilapidated, and the streets at least look on the clean side.

Within (long) walking distance of the University of Pennsylvania, it is not in the Philadelphia Badlands, at least as such things are defined, but that doesn’t mean it hasn’t become infected and infested with some of the same terrible culture that can be seen too often in Philly.

Teens in West Philly went from brothers to enemies. A trial offered a window inside the lesser-known feud.

In defense of the single family home In the end, they're a lot better than rowhouses, apartments, and condos in large cities.

Our previous house in Pennsylvania, photo during winter of 2015-16.

Though I have published pictures of our previous home, of which I was very proud, I usually cropped them on the right, because it was a duplex. When we bought it, in 2002, it was pained entirely white, and the doors were a faded lemon yellow, with a single, brass doorknob on the right-hand door. I added the antique brass door set, deadbolt, and kickplates, and painted it red.

The stained glass in the transom was a Christmas present to my darling bride — of 45 years, 11 months, and 24 days — and the columns are now PVC, purchased from Home Despot Depot, because one of the old wooden ones was getting to be in poor shape. The three-color paint job I left to the professionals. I redecked the porch, but rather than painting it grey, as it had been before, I used Cabot’s Australian Oil in red mahogany on mahogany flooring, and had the porch deck looking like it could have been an interior floor!

Nevertheless, it was a duplex, and that meant a common wall, and a family on the other side of the building. It wasn’t bad, at first; they were decent neighbors. But, alas! they broke up, and the now single guy living on the other side couldn’t afford to keep up the mortgage, and moved out, just walking away, and leaving the other side empty. A young realtor bought it out, did a little bit of work on the inside, and then sold it for an inflated price. OK, fine, that could only increase the value of our side! Continue reading

“Democratic strategist” and “Hillary advisor” waxes wroth at the idea of equal treatment under the law

Be aware, when you read Adam Parkhomenko’s tweet, screen captured at the left, that his Twitter biography states that he is a “Dem Strategist. Dad to Cameron, Paxton, Moose and Simba. Former DNC National Field Director, Hillary advisor and more.”

The distinguished Mr Parkhomenko is upset, angry, waxing wroth, because President Donald Trump is ending DEI, the “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” programs that the Federal government has been using to base hiring and promotions not on ability or job performance, but whether a prospective candidate is a member of an Accredited Victim Group™.

In the 2003 decision Grutter v Bollinger, Associate Justice Sandra Day O’Connor said that Affirmative Action plans had to come to an end, that the ‘exception’ the Supreme Court allowed to the 14th Amendment required an end date, and that the Court anticipated that, 25 years from then, they’d expect to see all accomplished, and Affirmative Action ended.

Our friends on the left will be just spittle-flecked appalled!

Our good friends on the left will be appalled that they won’t get to see any photos of former and future President Trump Donald Trump behind bars. There is the scowling mugshot of him, but what sane people will remember is his fist raised in defiance after the first assassination attempt.

Trump sentenced in hush money case, will not face jail or probation
