There's all this talk about the need to come to some kind of trade agreement with China, a nation that's devoted it's wealth to destroying western civilization.  They talk one way and act another, and it's their historical pattern, they're notorious for their history of broken promises, and make no mistake,  Xi Jinping is in trouble and in order to save himself he'll promise anything.  He then turns around setting "red lines" for his promises to be kept.  Red lines that were already unacceptable before any agreements were made.

• Chinese Bank Mergers: Another Sign of Economic and Financial Fragility

I gotta wonder what's going on in South Korean politics as their new President, who clearly is a far left wing nutroll has declared any criticism of China or its ruling Communist party will be treated as a criminal offense. How nuts is that?  With friends like that who needs enemies?  Maybe it's time American pulled out the approximately 25,000 American troops that have been keeping S. Korea free from N. Korean/Chinese occupation.  

 

Christian refugee who sought safety in France murdered by Jihadi migrant.  Christian persecution is becoming common place.  We're seeing this same kind of misanthropy playing out all over the world, and it's not exclusive to Jews. 

• French Jews Hiding Their Identities

• With its latest hire, Harvard gives a huge middle finger to Jews

The problem lies in definition. Islam isn’t a religion, it’s a violent, criminal, political movement masquerading as a religion, and needs to be officially classified as terrorist movement, and it's influence is a growing plague.  But that's not what upsets the UN.  The UN, that hot bed of corruption and human rights abuses has warned .... warned mind you..... the U.S. attacks on drug boats are ‘unacceptable.  I'm liking Rubio more and more as he tells them they have no say in the matter of how the U.S. defends itself.   In short he's telling them to shove it letting them know we don't care what they think, and maybe it's a warning shot across the UN's bow saying, we don't like you, and we don't need you.   

South Africa is a poster child for human rights abuses and genocide, and just like so many of these leftist murderous tyrannies they're demanding Israel be condemned as genocidal, yet none of these nations are willing to step up and offer asylum to Gazans.   Well, Israel has found a way around that.

 

Unwanted guests arrive as a chartered-plane full of uninvited Gazan refugees arrived in South Africa recently. This is an event that really happened. As far as I can piece together, Israeli authorities allowed 153 Gaza residents to enter Israel, travel to a nearby airport, board a chartered jetliner and fly to Johannesburg, via Nairobi. There they sat on the tarmac for 10 hours until local South African authorities could figure out what to do. From BBC News,

South Africa has maintained strong support for the Palestinian cause throughout the war between Hamas and Israel in Gaza.

And now South Africa gets the opportunity to prove up their support with real action. Well, they’re yours now. No takebacks. A local charity agreed to look after them as a condition of disembarking. The war in Gaza is the first humanitarian crisis that I can recall where not a single country on earth has agreed to accept a single refugee from the area. Why is that?

There's a massive RICO investigation in the works, even if the DOJ isn't aware of it yet.   These investigations involving the corruption surrounding Jack Smith's illegal "investigation" of.... anyone who was opposed to the Democrats.  Now we have clear evidence that Judge James Boasberg was up to his neck in what can only be called a criminal conspiracy.  Judges have “judicial immunity” and can’t be prosecuted for their actions….. unless those actions are illegal.  There is no way he can justify authorizing these subpoenas. He’s guilty of “deprivation of rights”, and it’s clear - at least to me - this is a RICO conspiracy.

The willful violation of a person's constitutional or federal rights by someone acting "under color of law," which often includes government officials like police officers. This can include excessive force, false arrest, or unlawful searches, and is a federal offense with severe penalties that depend on the resulting injury or death. 

Those officials includes judges. He’s guilty as sin. His actions violate the 1st, and 4th Amendments, and this opens up an even bigger RICO case than already is in the works, and he needs to be prosecuted beyond impeachment.  The judiciary at all levels are out of control, and have been for some time. It’s time for Judicial Immunity to be seriously re-evaluated and reformed. These jurists need to be held accountable for what can only be called criminal decisions. 

• The Worst Political Scandal in U.S. History and Boasberg Is at the Forefront 

There's a turf war breaking out between Tulsi Gabbard and Kash Patel, regarding who should have oversight of foreign intelligence.  The fact is the FBI was created to prosecute criminal activity, and we’re discovering they’re not very good at it when leftists are in charge at all levels, and in point of fact, they’ve been downright treasonous.

So why would we want to consolidate more power to the FBI when they’ve demonstrated how easily they can be corrupted to openly violate our constitutional rights? At least if the responsibilities and power are spread out it can be contained more easily, and fixed more easily if corrupted as it was under the three Obama administrations.

Please try and remember it was only a few short months ago many were calling for the dissolution of the FBI for what in my view was blatant criminal activity.  Attorney General Merrick Garland and then-FBI Director Christopher Wray.  FBI issued almost 200 subpoenas seeking records and communications from 439 Republican individuals and organizations.  As all these corruption cases such as Russiagate, Arctic Frost, Crossfire Hurricane, and all the cases what they were part of the Deprivation of Rights cases against Trump, and others, we’re going to see just how corrupt they became, right along with the DOJ, CIA, NSA and others, and eventually will come to together as one gigantic all encompassing RICO case.  

•  Freedom Center Fellow Louie Gohmert Spied on for 3 Months by Biden Admin
•  New: USAID’s Secret Signal Chats Document Plot Against U.S. Leadership

Germany as we know it is toast.  They’re not going to be able to reverse the many leftist disasters with which they’ve plagued Germany. Is there a Hitlerian somewhere in their political forest? I’m betting there is and if so, the violence will erupt just as it did in the 1920’s.

But after this all plays out in a few years Germany, as well as most of the rest of Western Europe, will not remain structured as it is now. Expect to see Europe fractionalize into their historical foundational social paradigm of small autonomous or semi-autonomous states.

Western Europe is lost. Central/East European nations like Poland, Hungary, and the Baltics may last a bit longer, but now Russia is lost as Putin has destroyed their ethnic demography with his war on Ukraine, and is importing Middle Eastern migrants to work in his factories since he no longer has sufficient Russian manpower, and that includes his army.

So the central European nations will be pressured from all sides, how long can they withstand the onslaught? The binding factor for Europe was… in spite of all their religious wars…. based on Judaic/Christian ethics.

Europeans are for the most part either atheists, agnostics, or casual believers, and Europe no longer has any binding force…. including their views on economics….. to withstand a migratory population that believes their purpose in life is to destroy anyone who will not subscribe to Sharia law.

To survive they must do what Spain did starting in 1502 and force conversion of all Muslims, or kick them out. Clearly conversion isn’t an option since Europe is filled with non believers, that leaves expulsion, and based on the numbers, that will be problematic.

There are no real conservatives in Europe. Those who have been styled as “conservatives” are more like communist light. The same is true of Canada. The only nation in the world that has a true conservative class is America, and it’s being contaminated with RINO’s who are determined to turn the conservative movement into leftist Rockefeller Republicans.

The fix must start in public education, and that’s not going to happen in Europe, and I have doubts it can happen in America without banning public employee unions, in this case the teacher’s unions.

Europe speaks over 200 languages with mutually lived cultural factors, and it seems more likely to me that will be the deciding factors, not to mention the divisions are already there going back centuries.

Leftism is a secular religion, and it’s a superstition, but most profoundly, it’s a mental disorder that fills the mind and heart with lies, irrationally negative raw emotional social paradigms, hate and violence. That’s history, and that history is incontestable.

Let's start with the fact in the late 19th and early 20th centuries progressive thinking was common in both parties, and the Republicans of today are heirs to that progressive mind set, many of whom are descendants of the politicos of yesteryear. Did you ever wonder how Tucker Carlson got into the “news” business? His father was a prominent politician/journalist/diplomat. That’s a pattern in political parties. 

Invertebracy is the rule, not the exception for the Republican leadership in each and every state and at the federal level. It even looked like Thune was caving on the shutdown. What kind of moral pool do these people marinate in? As for losing in NYC, New Jersey, and Virginia…. so what? Those states do not represent the rest of the nation. All it takes is a backbone, and the courage to get up on your hind legs and stand for something.

Former Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson, who had his stupidly “progressive” side also, reportedly used to say "We have two political parties in this country, the Stupid Party and the Evil Party. I belong to the Stupid Party". He said that decades ago, and nothing’s changed.

The Republican party base is far more conservative than the leadership, which is filled with RINOs in every state party, ergo, the Republican party has no idea who it is, and in spite of the rhetoric, what it stands for. The result? It stumbles around like a bunch of drunken sailors just begging to be defeated.  Never doubt the ability of the Republicans to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Historically, we’re in the end cycle of this historical cycle, and all end cycles are filled with violence and economic downturns before the new cycle begins. We’re heading there, and truth be told, it’s my view only Trump’s election is holding it off in America. Europe is doomed. 

As for the "government shutdown" the Democrats think it was worth it in spite of the fact they get nothing, looked like a bunch of unruly brats, and their leadership is on the ropes turning leadership over to the most radical among them like AOC, and I agree with them.  It was worth it since now it's clear:

1.  Longest Shutdown Ever Reveals U.S. Could Stand To Fire A Lot Of Federal Workers
2.  Irony Alert: Democrats’ Shutdown Opened The Door To Dismantling Obamacare
3.  Rollins: We’re Going to Make ‘Everyone Reapply’ for SNAP to Ensure Integrity 
4.  Dead double dippers November 14, 2025 by Kevin Finn Peel back the veneer of SNAP and you’ll find a cesspool of abuse, fraud, and waste that’s draining taxpayers, fattening a generation on government-funded gluttony, and enabling dependency and decay. More

See, wasn't that worth it?  As I've written in the past, if caught between bipartisanship or gridlock? I'll take gridlock.

This week I have five commentaries of my own and thirteen by others.  Have a good weekend and best wishes to all those of honest heart and good will.

By Rich Kozlovich

 

 

This week has been interesting to say the least.  What is wrong with the Democrats?   Remember how every leftist in the nation said Ole Joe was fit as a fiddle, and fit to be President for four more years?  Now.... a year later... physically he's not even fit to walk to the ice cream parlor without support, he has a terminal cancer, and in spite of  Karine Jean-Pierre's claims she saw the President daily and he was sharp as a tack, even the Pravda media thinks that's a load of horsepucky, and she and her "wife" are divorced.   It's all just falling apart for Karine. 

 

It now seems likely if he was elected he would've finished out his term, and that may have been the strategy to get an even more radical incompetent stooge in the White House, Kamala Harris.  

 

Now we find everything the vast right wing conspiracy was saying about Hillary's health was true.   It’s been revealed that during the 2016 presidential campaign, Hillary was on "strong tranquilizers for psycho-emotional problems and was suffering from ischemic heart disease."

 

Psycho-emotional problems?  What's that mean?  

 

Psycho-emotional problems are mental health conditions that affect a person's mood, thinking, and behavior, and include disorders like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. These conditions can manifest with emotional symptoms such as persistent sadness, irritability, or feelings of emptiness, and psychological symptoms like unusual thoughts, poor concentration, and distorted perceptions of reality. Factors like genetics, childhood trauma, chronic stress, and social issues can contribute to their development. 

 

Well, that pretty much describes Hillary's personality and behavior.  She's as nutty as fruitcake.  Being married to her must have been a nightmare.  If Bill wasn't so vile you could almost feel sorry for him.

 

Nancy Pelosi is finally going to rid the Congress of her stench and retire.  I'm seeing all sorts of clabber about what a great Speaker of the House she was, but the reality of Nancy tells a different tale, here's how Nancy got filthy rich in Congress.   Truthfully, she's as nutty as Hillary, and just as corrupt.  Nancy Pelosi made $130M in stock profits during Congress career — a return of 16,930%.

 

Now, the next Mayor of St. Paul, Minnesota claimed she's an illegal immigrant.  After the backlash over that she walked that back saying she was born here and her parents were here illegally.   How much better is that?  DC Mayor Muriel Bowser is under investigation for corruption, and a recently elected Mayor from a small Kansas town is being charged with voter fraud.  He's not an American citizen, he's a citizen of Mexico and has been a registered voter since 1990.   

 

The stench of voter fraud is ubiquitous in America, including the latest election in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, California, with accounts of "mishandled ballots, odd voter registration lists, missing ballots", and more, which Monica Showalter outlines in this piece.   

 

In New Jersey, some interesting facts have emerged. In a state were there's no voter I.D., no "enforcement of ballot harvesting/ mail-ins in the inner cities" and the "Mayor of Newark’s brother was paid 7 FIGURES for “political field operations"  Seven figures for field operations?  What's that mean exactly?  It turns out that either Scotty from the Enterprise beamed down "500,000-plus Democrats", or these Democrats were dormant like cicadas in the 2013, 2017, and 2021 elections?  Are we shocked?  

1. Election Results Show The Left Getting Away With Murder
2. Democratic Socialists Are a Serious Threat
3. Two steps closer to the edge
4. For the new Democrat party, the motto is ‘how low can you go?’

John Brennan is in deep trouble, as subpoenas have been sent over the claim "top Obama and Biden officials engaged in a massive conspiracy to violate Donald Trump's civil rights through the Russia investigations and the probes by special counsel Jack Smith".   But he's not alone, just as these miscreants thought they were home free, a grand jury is also subpoenaing Lisa Page and Peter Strzok over Russiagate.  I have a lot of information of the Arctic Frost scandal I will be addressing next week.  This is a RICO investigation that's going to be all encompassing.  It's clear they didn't just want a Democrat elected President, they needed a Democrat to be elected President, and as this unfolds it's my belief we're going to see the biggest names of the Democrat party being indicted.

 

China has invaded America in more ways than anyone thought possible, whether it's buying up farm land, or under false pretenses claiming to help Chinese immigrants they've create a secret police force to intimidate them, and this will be a shocker.   China's stealing trade secrets from federally funded research, with the aid of scientists.  

 

The federal judiciary continues to be out of control.  Now a federal judge has ordered the Trump administration of fully fund SNAP for November because "the people have gone without for too long".   I wonder if he thinks that should also apply to criminal illegal aliens who are on Medicaid?

 

Where in the Constitution does it give the judiciary the power to tell the government how to spend it's money?    That's the responsibility of the Legislative and Executive branches, not the Judiciary.  

• Update, 12:30 PM: Breaking: Supreme Court Rules for Trump and Temporarily Blocks Order to Fully Fund SNAP Benefits

For that matter we really need to start asking what is the justification for borrowing 38 trillion dollars to fund every idiotic costly political pandering scheme ever developed, and that includes both parties.  With an interest payment of "$881 billion in 2024 and projected to nearly double to $1.6 trillion by 2034. These rising costs now surpass spending on areas like Medicare and national defense, and are projected to become the second-largest category of federal spending." 

 

Senator Everett Dirksen once said 

"A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money", and while it's being said he really didn't say that, he never retracted it in his lifetime.   The fact is he's been categorized as fiscally conservative and socially liberal, which is in fact is clearly cognitive dissonance, and his voting record shows that, and so too does that kind of cognitive dissonance apply to the Congress and the administration today. 

 

I will have more in the national debt on Monday. 

 

Another federal judge says they can't use tear gas as an anti-riot tool in Chicago, and another judge permanently blocks Trump from using the National Guard in Portland. Where's their legislative authority for such rule making.  Jurisdiction for the federal judiciary is determined by Congress, not the opinions of federal jurists.  It's called the rule of law.  

The endless Democrat lies about ICE’s actions - One of the most illuminating things you can do is check out the official DHS account on X, which shreds false reporting about its detainment actions. 

 

The shutdown Democrats have an ally, and this is really gonna shock you as a study confirms the media is playing defense for the Democrats.....Wow, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.

 

Muslims are claiming Sharia law must now be implemented in NYC as huge crowds of Muslims gather to claim NYC for Islam, and as the police in NYC are leaving in droves, that’s exactly what will happen with Muslim thugs taking over whole areas of the city, just like Paris, London, and other European cities.

Their moral foundation on the left is the same as Islam’s. Hate, envy, greed, lust and violence, ergo, they have no bottom to their depth of degradation. They will do whatever it takes to get power to dominate and control everyone’s life. That’s the history of leftism since the French revolution, and nothing has changed. The curtain is rising, the actors are in place, the script is written, and the consequences will be disastrous, and as predictable as night follows day.

Well, schadenfreude!  "The people have spoken and now must be punished" - Former NYC Mayor Ed Koch.   

In this week's edition I have four offerings of my own, and twelve by others, and the weather stinks, it's cold and wet, so stay in and take some time to cover the articles.  

Best wishes,

Rich

By Rich Kozlovich

  

When this deal with Hamas was publicized and the particulars were announced I said this deal stinks and is filled with poison pills.   That was day one.  And the reason Hamas signed on is they were on the verge of being destroyed, and they desperately needed a cease fire, and wanted the IDF out of Gaza in order to reorganized and continue their terrorism. It was a typical Islamic deception. And even after they murdered their fellow Gazans, their population still supports the things Hamas does and stands for.

Why? Because that’s Islam, and it’s been the pattern of Islam for all of it’s history, and it boggles my mind Trump, Vance, and others fail to see this and understand there are only two things Muslims understand and respect. Power, and the willingness to use it.

And here we are…. the stench of this deal hangs in the air, and clings to everyone involved. A failure that should have been obvious to the most casual observer. A failure that even the bug man predicted. If the bug man could predict this…. from day one…. there’s no excuse for anyone not seeing this outcome. Doesn’t anyone ever read history books before they make these decisions?

Is there any doubt the federal judiciary is out of control?   The Constitution gives the Congress the power to determine the jurisdiction of the judiciary, not SCOTUS, not the Appeals courts, and most certainly not the District courts.... The CONGRESS.  Is there any doubt the Congress is failing to do it's job?  At least two federal courts have ordered the Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits in spite of the shut down using "contingency funds", which is most likely outside the administrations legal authority.  

But think about this.

1. When did the courts decide they had the legal authority over Congressional spending?Decades ago.  
2. Where in the Constitution does it give them that authority?  Nowhere!
3. Is there a law passed by Congress that gives them that authority?  No!

They gave themselves that authority, and the Congress has failed to call them to task.  They use arguments that failing to pay SNAP benefits hurts the public.  Okay, that's clearly true but that's the responsibility of the Congress and the Administration, not the judiciary.  They're turning their opinions in to law, and that just can't go on.  

1. Federal Judge Weighs Forcing USDA to Pay SNAP Benefits Despite Shutdown
2. Judge orders involuntary work without pay
3. Judges Order Trump Admin to Fund SNAP — There's Just One Problem

In another case a judge has decided Trump can’t require proof of citizenship for voters, in effect this ruling  favors Democrats and their history of voter fraud, on a massive scale.  The judge ruled:

 

Trump cannot unilaterally change federal election procedures. “Because our Constitution assigns responsibility for election regulation to the States and to Congress, this Court holds that the President lacks the authority to direct such changes.....
 

And while the Constitution doesn't directly give the President the authority to make such changes, yet federal law prevents foreigners from voting in federal elections. Who's supposed to enforce that law?  Only the Executive branch has the power of enforcement, and the courts have no authority to prevent that.   Also, in spite of the claim Trump would be "disenfranchising Americans, and especially women and service members,” that's more twisted leftist logic since if they're not citizens, they're not Americans.    

 

Again we find another Judge who has disqualified a US Attorney based on federal law that says if a "permanent U.S. attorney is not nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate within 120 days, federal district court judges can appoint their own interim judges until the vacancy is filled."  Where does it say that in the Constitution?  Nowhere.   What the Constitution says is only the President of the United states can appoint officials, not the judiciary.

 

Then we have Arctic Frost: the FBI’s MAGA dragnet to destroy Trump, which was an illegal conspiracy involving former illegal special prosecutor, Jack Smith and the Democrats.  But it gets worse. 

 

“The Biden Justice Department signed off on issuing subpoenas for the phone records of at least nine U.S. senators. Twenty percent of the Republicans in the United States Senate were the target of this fishing expedition. They did so in complete contravention of the Constitution—of separation of powers, of the Speech and Debate Clause, of free speech, of basic rights of privacy."

 It turns out it was that rogue activist, Judge Boasberg, who authorized that, and Ted Cruz is demanding his impeachment.  As Daniel Greenfield notes this judge authorized secretly bugging Ted Cruz to stop him from ‘destroying evidence’, and authorized access to his private phone records and forbidding ATT from alerting he and the rest.  Evidence?  What crimes was he supposed to be involved in?  Apparently none, it was an illegal fishing expedition, and as Greenfield notes: "A million times worse than Watergate."

• Blackburn: Arctic Frost Spying ‘a Violation’ of 1st, 4th Amendments, Separation of Powers

Which brings me to my point.  There's a pattern here.  Why are all these judges making rulings that are sure to be overturned? All these rulings eats up time.  Time federal prosecutors need to follow up on the actual criminal activities of the Obama/Biden administration personnel, Democrat politicians, and those funding the violence breaking out against law enforcement.  These kind of investigations are RICO investigations, and they're time consuming, and it takes time to replace the purged the corrupt DOJ and the FBI deep staters, and there's more that need purged.  

I have five old commentaries in this edition.  Someone has been going back years and hitting some of my old articles, and it appears they're passing them along, and as I went back to read them I thought.... they're pretty good, and prescient, so I republished them.   There are eleven by other authors including one by Jack Cashill which he graciously allowed by to publish.  I highly recommend subscribing to his substack site. 

P&D is coming to a close this year, in the meanwhile, enjoy.

Best wishes,

“The enemies of freedom do not argue; they shout and they shoot.” - William Ralph Inge

 

By Rich Kozlovich

Pretty much the theme for this week dealt with political violence, failed leadership worldwide, and the lunatics running for office.  Democrat Graham Platner wants to be a Senator from the state of Maine, and the Democrats love him.... in spite of the Nazi tattoo on his chest, his embrace of violence, and his outright communist views of how America should be governed.  He claims he's .... shocked.... shocked I tell you ...... the tattoo on his chest is a Nazi emblem.  And the Democrats are running with that.  So, what should we glean from that?   He's too stupid to know what kind of tattoo he paid to have inked into his skin, and the Democrats, who call just about everyone a Nazi, just about have a monopoly on hypocrisy?  

• Democrats prefer Nazi 'Totenkopf' symbol to Christian ones - Remember how loud they were about Pete Hegseth's tattoos

• Robert De Niro Smeared Stephen Miller As a Nazi on MSNBC. Big Mistake. 

Former Senator Joe Manchin has come out and exposed the thug tactics Biden and his cabal subjected him to, and the potential violence against his family.  It got so bad the DC police had to protect them and discovered those threatening him knew all about the activities of his wife, his children and his grandchildren, and the police believed they were all in serious danger.

• Says Biden Orchestrated Death Threats and Paid Protestors After He Refused to Back ‘Build Back Better’ Spending Boondoggle”

It appears America's Gollum, James Carville, is on board with violence against anyone who stands against the tyrannous machinations of Democrats.   His great desire is to see all Trump "collaborators" shaved, paraded down the street and spit on.

In Islam there is no free press, and that's what Mamdani and his associates want for America, as they've threatened New York Post for daring to report about Mamdani and his jihadist Imam, and in Britain the Prime Minister is threatening British citizens who express legitimate criticisms against Islamists that are running rampant there.  Apparently he feels sabotaging the child rape grooming gang inquires falls into that category, right along with warning British citizens not to raise the flags of England. The flags of Hamas or Al Qaeda flags are acceptable though.  I wonder what he thinks about the Christian genocide going on in Nigeria?  I have to wonder because he, as well as the rest of the west's leaders, and the media are largely silent about it.

•  Germany, rest of Western Europe under siege
•  “Please Don’t Hurt Me”: 12-Year-Old French Girl Begged for Her Life Before Brutal Murder by Algerian Migrant

The ceasefire violations in Gaza started almost overnight.... and guess who the New York Times blames? You're gong to be shocked.... not Hamas....but Netanyahu....Wow!  You are shocked aren't you? 

•  State Department Warns of ‘Credible Reports’ Hamas Planning Attack on Gaza

Colombian President Gustavo Francisco Petro is calling for Trump's death if he doesn't change his point of view.  Ya gotta read this article....he's a degenerate lunatic.... and he may not like the consequences of his actions. 

Have no doubt the left is panicking.  Vulgar tirades such as this one is just about a daily occurrence.   The left is at war with those who support traditional values. They want to destroy normal people,and they could care less about the destructive consequences to society over their schemes.  The left has been lying about crime rates for years, and Trump has called them on it....and Trump was right.  Many of America's major cities are in chaos, and the Governors in their states, along with these cities Mayors are blatantly complicit.  As a result Trump not only needs to send in troops, he has a legal obligation to do so, and where he's done it, those cities became substantially safer. 

As more information comes out, the Biden cabal is in trouble.

When you watch the actions of these officials it becomes clear they're in revolt and are bent on destroying the rule of law, with the judiciary in effect supporting their insurrection.

Candace Owen was at one time a conservative star, then she became an antisemite, and a promoter of ....wellll.... I'm not sure what to call her rants.  She recently declared the First Lady of France, Brigitte Macron was a man, and was willing to stake her professional reputation on it.  At this point she has nothing to lose since her 'professional' reputation is in the toilet, and the Macron's are suing her. Now she's hit a new low accusing Trump of assassinating Charlie Kirk.  I can only think there's something seriously wrong with her mind.  

In today's edition I have three commentaries and sixteen by others.  The weather's getting cold and wet, so take some time a review what's being offered here today, and trust me when I tell you this is just the tip of the iceberg, and I've barely touched the geopolitical issues, but understand this, the world's economy is in deep trouble, especially China's.  Xi is purging his government and his military, acts of fear and weakness, and he's scared.  There will be changes there soon in my view.  

And the national debt has now reached 38 trillion dollars.   

Best wishes,

"One of the painful signs of years of dumbed-down education is how many people are unable to make a coherent argument. They can vent their emotions, question other people's motives, make bold assertions, repeat slogans-- anything except reason." - Thomas Sowell

 

By Rich Kozlovich  

 

 

The mainstream (Pravda) media is dying, and as you watch what's going on you realize it's because they're being run by ideologues.  Idiot ideologues.  CBS is now the exception.  It appears Shari Redstone, "the non-executive chairwoman of Paramount and Viacom" who is Jewish, and "like most Jewish Hollywood and media executives, did not let that interfere with their role in companies that demonized Israel and defended terrorists."  

 

Well, she's has finally had it with the blatant antisemitism and lies being touted on CBS.  Now Paramount, which owns CBS, has paid 150 million dollars for Bari Weiss' news site and brought her on board to be the Editor-in-Chief of CBS News, and she's shaking up CBS, insisting news must be fact based, even handed, and opinion isn't news.  Break out the popcorn folks, the purge is already underway, and she just might save CBS News. 

 

One of the things I'm really enjoying is how the Trump administration is smacking these snotty arrogant talking heads right in the mouth, and they can't take it. JD Vance called out George Stephanopoulos for continuing to push hoaxes calling it news saying:

 

“Here’s, George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program, and why you’re losing credibility, because you’re talking for now five minutes with the Vice President of the United States about this story regarding Tom Homan, a story that I’ve read about, but I don’t even know the video that you’re talking about. Meanwhile, low-income women can’t get food because the Democrats and Chuck Schumer have shut down the government,” 

ABC pulled the plug on the interview.  

Dan Rather used to intone, 'questions remain"!  A sneaky way of casting aspersions and implying there's more to a story than whomever they interviewed was willing to divulge. The fact is they're really good at logical fallacies, misdirection, projection, finger pointing without justification, along with outright lies, but they're really bad at taking it on the chin.  Two things.  They're not smart, just clever tricksters.  And their time is coming to an end.  Do you hear that vortex sound?  That's the sound of them swirling down the drain.    

CNN invested $300 million dollars to launch CNN+, a paid streaming service, and did so at a time when its core ratings were crashing.   Here was a network whose ratings were swirling down the drain, and still are, over it's blatantly fallacious reporting, and yet according to former CNN President Jeff Zucker, CNN+ was for "CNN super fans, news junkies and fans of quality non-fiction programming." Quoting Daniel Greenfield: 

 

"CNN superfans are almost as real as Bigfoot and less likely to be spotted in the wild."

 

So, now that CNN lost millions charging $2.99 a month they've come up with a brilliant idea in an effort to save CNN.  They're going to create another streaming service and charge $6.99 a month.  It appears they must believe the reason their first effort filed is because they were charging too little.   Imagine that. 

 

Why would anyone think a news network that was crashing would get viewers to pay to watch a network they're weren't watching for free?  So, in spite of the almost overnight failure of their first streaming service CNN is convinced charging a little over two and a half times as much more will make it a success.  Did I get that right?  I didn't miss anything... did I?   Well, what could possibly go wrong?  

   

These past weeks it's been my view that in the New York mayoral race Mamdani was going to be elected because Adams has dropped out and is supporting Cuomo, who is hated over what I can only consider murder of the elderly by him forcing covid patients into nursing homes, and his level of arrogance is boundless:

 

......in the macabre ledger of Cuomo’s misdeeds, that may not even rank near the top. The bullying, the cover-ups, the arrogance that drips from every syllable he utters—these are not the qualities of a man New Yorkers should trust again with power.  He despises conservatives, mocks people of faith, and treats dissent as disloyalty. To call his 2025 campaign uninspired would be generous. It’s perhaps the most lifeless, self-absorbed, poorly executed campaign for public office I’ve ever seen.

As for Sliwa, the author, Kevin McCullough, goes on to note:

Curtis Sliwa has done what few candidates ever bother to do—he’s hit the pavement. He’s everywhere. Riding subways. Walking neighborhoods. Listening to shopkeepers, rabbis, cops, teachers, mothers, cabbies. He’s showing up.  He’s not reading polls or whispering with consultants about messaging. He’s formulating governance rooted in real experience, not theory. It’s a fresh slice of perspective—an insurgent campaign fueled by the energy of ordinary New Yorkers who are simply tired of being ignored.

And according to the latest public filings, Sliwa and Cuomo both have more cash on hand than Mamdani, meaning neither man is limping toward the finish line. In fact, Sliwa holds nearly a million dollars more than Mamdani as of the most recent disclosures—a not-insignificant gap in a city race where every mailer, ad buy, and digital spot counts.

Then we have Mamdani who's radical underpinnings and promotion of international jihad make AOC and the squad seem almost rational...... not really ......as "Mamdani refuses to retract his vile rallying cry, “Globalize the Intifada.  Let’s be clear—that phrase is not about solidarity, it’s a battle cry for genocide."  Mamdani's big take on Cuomo he's never visited a mosque.....yeah and Cuomo never advocated burning them down and killing the Muslims who attend there either.  

Alex Berenson calls Mamdani a Republican wet dream, a Ugandan-Indian Muslim Democratic Socialist who’s barely worked a day in his life and really, really wanted to defund the police in 2020, and it doesn't stop there.   Here are headlines about Mamdani that might even make NYC leftist secular Jews, a substantial demographic in NYC, just a little bit concerned.   

Leftists are notorious NMBY's.  What's good for the rest of the world is not acceptable to them.  America's secular Jews who think it's just fine if jihadists destroy Israel may not think that kind of thinking is acceptable in their back yard.  Here are my here is the link to all my Mamdani files, which expands on each of the troubling issues regarding Mamdani and his associates.

9. The Mamdani Exodus
10. Mamdani: Localize the Taqiyya! - “Taqiyya,” in classical Islamic jurisprudence, is the doctrine by which a Muslim may conceal or deny true beliefs under threat or for strategic purposes. Historically, it served as a survival mechanism in hostile environments. But what happens when that principle is repurposed in politics? When stealth and deception become tools not to preserve life — but to seize power?
11. Communism Is a Bad Choice, NYC October 16, 2025 - "President Donald Trump reiterated his threat Tuesday that New York City Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani would not get federal funds if elected next month."

How quickly New Yorkers have forgotten 911 and who's responsible, which I'm betting he and his family privately cheered.   One more thing.  Does anyone really believe he'd be in charge once elected? 

 

There are a few things I think everyone needs to pay attention to. First, George Soros has been caught funding "No Kings" protests nationwide, along with several communist groups.  Once this investigation starts rolling, most likely a RICO investigation, it's my view such an investigation will uncover a destructive lava flow of information about these leftist billionaires working to destroy the nation.  Kash Patel Says there are more indictments looming against Deep Staters.    It's being claimed VP Pence really was stabbing Trump in the back, and might have had a back channel with Crossfire Hurricane spies.  

 

I think this is important.   Xi is continuing massive purges of the People’s Liberation Army.  What's behind that?  Xi's in trouble, he's scared, and his economy is in trouble.....it's my view the end of his days as the New Mao is on the horizon.  

 

Fall is here, winter is on it's way, and this November will tell a tale leading up to the midterms.  Virginia looked like it would go Democrat until the Democrat nominee spoke.... and said nothing, and the Democrat AG candidate said far too much.  New Jersey just might go Republican, the woman running to become California's next governor is clearly a lunatic, Illinois' governor and Chicago's mayor both sound nuts, the Democrats in Congress are afraid to vote to end the "shutdown" in fear of the far left and their Icon, AOC.  How nuts is that, they're afraid of a bartender.  

 

              

Every election I hear this is the most important election in the nation's history, but the fact is, some are far more important than others.  The nation and western civilization are on the edge of the cliff, and the sane are being pushed off by those who must have something seriously wrong with them.  How can anyone explain the Pope blessing a block of ice promoting global warming insanity, which can't be construed as anything other than "the pseudo-pagan deification of the earth", and giving Muslims a prayer room in the Vatican. 

 

I can't help but wonder how anyone could become as insane as these leftists are.   How can anyone explain why 60% of young liberals think violence is perfectly acceptable in order to stop the deportation of illegal migrants.   Apparently they like the idea of rapists, pedophiles, drug dealers, murders, and thugs remaining in America because we don't have enough of our own. Which bodes well the question: On what leftist issue do they think violence would be unacceptable?  They don't think such an issue exists.  

 

Please remember I said this.   If western civilization doesn't return to its roots and cast off leftist insanity, there will be civil violence as we've not seen in western history, as it will become a multinational revolt, and it will become uncontrollable.    The key that opens that door?  Economics.  

 

Finally.  I stated right from the beginning the Hamas deal stinks as it was filled with poison pills and there would be no enforcement arrangement that would work, and they agreed to gain time.  They needed a ceasefire in order to realign, rearm, and strike again.  

 

Well, it didn't take long for Hamas to demonstrate the bugman was right.  The failure of this agreement was a sure a night follows day, and  when I see this stuff developing I wonder if anyone ever read a history book.  This is classic Islam.  

 

They're executing clan members, fellow Gazans who oppose them, they're openly defying the agreed ceasefire ...wow!  that's a shocker.    They're refusing to disarm.... another shocker.  Now they're claiming they never really agreed to any of that, which is standard operating procedure for Islamists.   The only solution was their total decimation, and now, that's the only solution left.   Why was that so hard to understand?  

 

In today's edition I have three offerings of my own, and twelve by others.

 

Have a good weekend.
