“Muscular Christianity” means that when when you’re glazing the serial predator president who deports refugee children, executes fishermen, and builds idols to himself, you TYPE REALLY HARD.

Ha ha that’s gross and should make everyone uncomfortable, anyway, Rahm presided over a Chicago police black site, lied about what it was and then I sued the Chicago police for its records that proved it:

“Talking to Rahm, it’s like middle-age married sex,” said John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster who has known him for decades. “It’s focused. You know what you’re going for. And it’s short.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/u...

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.

When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work. On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen. "As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests. "You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens." Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

From 16,000 to 185 to Zero: Trump’s Claims of Illegal Voting in Nevada Fizzle. "The state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen."

New — I had the opportunity to see NAZA, the documentary freaking out the Israeli government because of its horrifying firsthand descriptions of the way the IDF has used AI to target and massacre Palestinian civilians. My thoughts on the film’s damning revelations, and the banality of evil:

I saw the documentary the Israeli government doesn’t want you to see

'NAZA' dispels once and for all the myth that the IDF didn't target civilians in Gaza.

What you have to do is offer them hope and change and then get into office and bail out the banks, continue the wars, and ensure nobody from the previous regime faces any consequences

Just watching "Fallout", best part so far is the casting director realizing they needed to find the absolute biggest, most sniveling bitch in Hollywood - possibly on Earth - for one specific scene and anyway Michael Rapaport has a cameo

Sep 24th 1966 - Henrik Vanger's grandniece, Harriet Vanger, disappeared, presumed murdered (Due to the crash on the bridge the same day). 📽️📅 The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

3 Screenshots from the movie "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (2011): First, an older man with white hair and a mustache sits in a dimly lit room speaking seriously to another man, with the subtitle reading “Someone in the family murdered Harriet…”. Second, a wide shot of a grand white mansion with people standing and playing outside, accompanied by the subtitle “It was September 24th, 1966.” Third, a chaotic crash scene shows a truck overturned onto a car on a bridge, with a man in a light jacket rushing toward the wreckage.

the latest issue of bret stephens' journal of jewish thought leads with this stunning paragraph, which positions democratic socialism as the enemy of civilization, and opposition to an apartheid ethnostate's mass murder of civilians as indicative of the collapse of liberalism

America and the West are going through a civilizational crisis. The clearest sign of it here in the United States is the rapid rise of a radical socialist movement winning elections all over the country, coupled with a vicious turn against Jews and Israel and an alarming embrace of political violence. Americans who wonder how this movement emerged seemingly out of nowhere have since learned that its roots lie in a farrago of anti-Western, anti-capitalist, anti-American ideas that have been taught for years in elite universities and are now being exported to society at large.
