DON SURBER: Antifa, a wholly owned subsidiary of a billionaire: Bernie Sanders in 2019: “Billionaires should not exist.” “I am not surprised to learn the CCP—Red China—is behind this effort to stop the U.S. government from kicking illegal aliens out. After all, Tim Walz was its Manchurian vice presidential candidate, chosen by the Democrat Party because of his ability to milk social justice programs to fund Democrats. Come on. Do you really believe the DNC (Obama) would let a goofball like Kamala pick her running mate? They wouldn’t trust her to pick her nose. So just who is this Singham dude?”

KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING: There’s Gotta Be a Lot of Beard Sweat in the Iranian Regime Right Now. “For the last several years that I was in Los Angeles, I lived in a neighborhood that had a lot of Persian Jews who fled Ayatollah Khomeini in the ’70s. I heard a lot of stories about what a magnificent country Iran was before the dark cloud of Islamic rule permanently descended up on it. The young people of Iran who are rising up don’t have any direct memories of the glory days, but they’re probably carrying around stories in their hearts about them. An imagined ideal can be a powerful motivator for the downtrodden.”

LEFTISTS LIE BECAUSE THE TRUTH DOESN’T SUPPORT THEIR PROGRAM: Jonathan Turley: The Remaking of Alex Pretti. “MS NOW has admitted that it used an AI-enhanced photo of Pretti that made him look more handsome. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) was criticized for bringing to the Senate floor an altered image, featuring a headless immigration agent, that made it look like officers executed a kneeling Pretti with a shot to the head. Pretti needs to be be inviolate to make the government seem vile in the eyes of the public. He is being described as the combination of Florence Nightingale and Crispus Attucks.”

He is being described falsely. He was a nasty, dangerous kook.

AND HE’S JUST GETTING STARTED:

It doesn’t take much to embolden criminals or demoralize police, and we know how it ends.
