" Compared with 2019, the reported violent crime rates are: • Violent crime: +58.62% • Murder: +248.10% • Rape: +161.07% • Felony assault: +135.87% • Robbery: +4.24% When nearly every major violent crime category has risen dramatically since 2019, no amount of political spin from Kathy Hochul can change the reality riders face underground."

 

Because blue cities are  paradise.

 "The entire reason the American system of government has been so stable and durable is that it requires supermajorities to make major changes to the American deal. Most people's lives should not change dramatically as a result of an election. Governments without an overwhelming mandate should not have the power to do stuff so disruptive a large percentage of the country would engage in violence to stop it."

 

Unless the  DFL allows the DSA to control the left wing agenda. 

 

 "“You don’t have a right to a house, you don’t have a right to a job, you don’t have a right to medical care. You have a right to your life and what you do with it. But once you claim a right to something that is material, that means you are claiming a right to somebody else’s labor, and that is a form of slavery.” – Ron Paul"

" If you have a son or daughter who's starting to think that socialism is the answer to our problems, I want you to try something and report back: Next time you talk, don't argue. Sit down, ask these questions, and just listen: - When you say "socialism," do you mean that you want the government to pay for a bigger safety net like in Denmark, or that the government owns the means of production? Because those are two very different countries. - You say the system is rigged. Who rigged it? And who should be handed the power to un-rig it? - Who sets the price of bread? If not a single person or corporation, what causes that price to remain steady or go up? - Can you name a country where the state took ownership of the means of production and the poor got richer? - When borders open or the walls fall down, anywhere in the world, which direction do people run? Towards the free market system or the socialist system? And before the boundaries fell, which way were the guns pointed? - Would you rather be poor today, or rich in 1900? By the way, only one of those has antibiotics. - If you and I make a voluntary trade, and we both walk away happy, who got hurt? - Someone has to decide what your work is worth. Would you rather it be you and the person paying you, or a bureaucrat with an army who has never met either of you?"

 Fascinating look into the hunger issue and malnutrition in Gaza. The data suggests that malnutrition is extremely low, and lower than pre-war, which suggests there’s greater access to food than before. This should make us happy to see, unfortunately it raises legitimate questions about the declaration by the IPC and rhetoric around it. Either way, let’s pause and appreciate that there’s more access to food in Gaza than previously, and that malnutrition is lower than pre-war."

" The results of the SMART survey (high-quality survey of malnutrition) in Gaza is finally out. Very low malnutrition rates, even lower than pre-war. Also, this slide is the coup-de-grace of the original famine declaration, which depended entirely on the premise that WHZ rates were twice as high as MUAC rates:"

Islam Stuff

From the Colson Center 

"Recently, a handful of popular podcasters have claimed that Islamic regimes are historically “very kind” toward Christians. Those who make this claim are either willfully ignorant or are advancing an agenda. The historical record is not ambiguous.

For example, the claims that relations between Islam and the Christian world were peaceful for 500 years until the First Crusade are false. Mohammad died in 632. By 732, Islam had taken the Holy Land and North Africa from the Christian Byzantine Empire. It had also conquered Spain and advanced into France a few hundred miles from Paris.

After taking additional land in southern France and establishing bases in the Alps, Muslims launched raids into Germany. They also sacked the outskirts of Rome and took control of Sicily. In 1071, they defeated the Byzantines and took control of most of modern Turkey. Twenty-four years later, the Byzantine Emperor asked the Pope for help, leading to the First Crusade.

Christians in these conquered territories were treated as dhimmis, second-class citizens who were required to pay the jizya, a special tax and sign of submission that was often accompanied by ritual humiliations. Failure to pay the tax could result in death, enslavement, and the destruction of the local church building.

No public displays of Christianity were allowed, including the ringing of church bells or even praying aloud in one’s own home within earshot of a Muslim. No new churches could be built, and no old churches could be repaired without permission, which was rarely given. Criticism of Islam and evangelizing Muslims was strictly forbidden. In court, a Christian’s testimony was worth less than a Muslim’s. Christians could not have authority over a Muslim or have a house taller than a Muslim’s. They could not bear arms or ride a horse. At times, they were forced to wear distinctive clothing.

Another claim is that Muslim rulers protected Christian holy sites and repaired them when damaged. Again, nothing could be further from the truth. Typically, important Christian holy sites were converted to mosques to show the victory of Islam. The most prominent example is Hagia Sophia in Istanbul, the largest church in Christendom for 1000 years. When the city fell to the Turks, it and other churches were desecrated and converted to mosques.

An exception was the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, perhaps because it was a major pilgrimage site that generated revenue for the Caliph. However, in 1009, Caliph Al Hakim destroyed it. It lay in ruins for decades until his successor allowed the Byzantines to rebuild it, likely to again collect pilgrimage revenues. 800 years later, the church was severely damaged in a fire. Local Christians blamed Muslims, but the official story is that it was caused by a candle or oil lamp. The Ottomans allowed it to be repaired using Christian funds donated from overseas. They did not pay for the repair.

In the Ottoman Empire, that some claim was kind to Christians, boys were taken from Christian homes to be raised as Janissaries, or Muslim slave-soldiers who were taught to despise their Christian families. Girls were often taken as slaves into harems, and violence often broke out against Christian communities in Ottoman territories. The worst violence was the Armenian, Assyrian, and Greek genocides of the early twentieth century, in which between 1.5 million and 2.5 million people were killed by the Ottoman government.

The same violence against Christians continues today, with abductions, forced marriages, murders, arson of churches, and oppression of Christians in places like Pakistan and Egypt, and increasingly in Europe. There is a prohibition of churches in Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries and, of course, the ongoing slaughter of Christians by Islamists in Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa.

So no, Islam has not been kind to Christians. The only reason to make this claim is to make the occasional anti-Christian acts of Israelis look worse. But there is no comparison. Christians in Israel have more rights and freedoms than in any Muslim country, especially in history. To claim otherwise is to ignore reality.."

More On Zorhan's Grocery Stupdidity

" A few very obvious points on Mamdani's grocery stores: 1. The supply of the discounted groceries will run out on day 1, and every day there is a new shipment. This is basic econ 101. 2. This means only the people who are lucky enough or fast enough will get these discounted groceries. Expect to see the city ration these groceries in some other way. By income, or neighborhood or some lottery system. 3. Grocery margins are notoriously low as it is (like 2-3%). These stores will lose a bunch of money selling 30% below market, or they'll sell so little it will be insignificant. 4. There is absolutely zero chance that government bureaucrats can source these products from global supply chains as efficiently as Walmart, or Meier, or Whole Foods, whose survival depends on it. Their costs will be far higher (unless they use government bludgeon to force distributors to sell to them at lower prices). 5. It's actually an incredible triumph of capitalism that you can get a pound of bananas that were shipped to your neighborhood from Equador for like 60 cents, or fresh grapes from Chile in the dead of Midwestern winter for 2 bucks a pound, and Norwegian salmon to cook in Italian olive oil for $15 -20 bucks or so. Truly stop and think about that for a minute. It's a miracle. The median full time hourly wage is around $31 dollars. For ONE HOUR of work, the median working American can get all of the groceries listed below, which is about 22,000 calories. They can feed themselves for 10 days (or a family of 4 for around 2 and a half days), with an hour of labor. This is the stupidest industry for socialists to go after."

What A Scam, More Vote Buying

So, the wonderful DFL folx who control MN blew billions of budget surplus (without giving any of it back to taxpayers) and who ignored billions of dollars in fraud, decided that starting an underfunded slush fund for DFL constituents was a great plan right before Walz and company left office.   Who in the world could have ever predicted that the "balance" in this slush fund wouldn't have immediately gone into the red?  

What a freaking scam.  End this farce NOW! 

The Crushing Power Of The State, Applied Against Small Businesspeople

 https://x.com/badhombre/status/2081785412108857599?s=51&t=cLq01Oy84YkmYPZ-URIMYw

 "If (huge if) the government-run grocery stores ever open in NYC, this is what will happen within 2 years of grand opening: 1. Local competitors within a 5-10 mile radius close because they can’t compete against a store that receive government subsidies. 2. Suppliers have fewer stores to sell their products to and must raise the price they charge per unit to the government-run grocery stores. 3. Private operators of the government-run grocery stores inform the city government that they are unable to simultaneously pay above-market union wages and continue to provide discounted goods. They must break or renegotiate the contract. 4. The city government scrambles to find ways of increasing subsidies to cover the cost of labor and increased supplier costs, but the wealthy tax base it relies on has moved on to greener pastures. 5. The government-run grocery stores operate with severe shortages for a while but eventually shut down, leaving people in real food deserts."

Let's ignore, for the moment, the utter failure of government owned grocery stores.  Let's ignore, for the moment, that this is one man using the power and coercive force of the State to financially ruin local businesses that have served their neighborhoods for years. Even if we ignore that, how in the world is it possible for NYC to lose money on every one of these items without raising taxes much more than the alleged "savings"? Not to mention the likelihood that they'll try to strong arm suppliers into losing money as well. 

Socialists/communists have no idea how things actually work, and choose to live in a fantasy world. Except Zorhan can always escape to his luxurious compound in his home country of Uganda.

" It’s not a mystery as to where Mamdani’s city run grocery stores will lead. It’s an economic law not a theory. The government will commit resources to these stores that will hold prices 30% below market price for a short time. The privately owned grocery stores that previously served the neighborhoods will lose market share and, due to already razor thin margins, will go under. The government run stores will deteriorate as all government programs do and soon there will be product shortages etc. the area will be left far worse off than it started. But that’s not what’s interesting here. The real story is that Mamdani and his cohorts are just as aware of this progression as we are. The only debate is; why would they intentionally destroy a system and a neighborhood they promised to protect? I’m not sure the answer but it’s worth mentioning that their hold on power and influence becomes greater the more suffering they cause…that’s probably it.."

This statement encapsulates everything wrong with the ASPL in one sentence. They pathological hatred of "white Christian" people and the willingness to ignore the actions of Muslims.

 "Abdul Ballout was born in Berlin, but he left Germany for Lebanon. Germany identified him as an Islamist threat, so they had him arrested in Lebanon and FLEW HIM BACK TO GERMANY to put him on trial for plotting terror attacks. He was convicted and sentenced for terrorism offences in May 2026 but released on time served. By July 2026 he was back on the streets. German authorities told him to attend de-radicalisation counselling sessions. He responded by carrying out a jihadist terrorist attack on a pride parade."
