JOHN NOLTE: Why Cesar Chavez Suddenly Became Politically Inconvenient to the Left.

You see, this year is the 99th anniversary of Chavez’s birth (he died in 1993), and celebrations had been planned for this event all over the country. Next year, though… Wow. One-hundred years. That’s the biggie, and you can bet that were it not for New Media, the left planned to feast on that anniversary.

There is just one inconvenient fact about the left’s secular saint…

Cesar Chavez opposed illegal immigration every bit as much as Donald J. Trump. Chávez understood that illegal aliens undermined the wages of legal migrant workers and their union bargaining power.

Cesar Chavez was so opposed to illegal immigration that, just like Minuteman Project of 2004, which was widely smeared in the legacy media as racist, Chavez put together his own militia to stop illegals from crossing the border. There are credible reports that violence was used as an example to others.

To form his United Farmworkers Union (UFW), it was Chavez versus the growers, and for obvious reasons,  the growers loved the open border.

For just as obvious reasons, Chavez did not.

And there you have it.

That’s why it was time to take Chavez down. The left feared, and not unreasonably, that as Chavez once again entered the public consciousness through these milestone birthday celebrations that New Media would co-opt him as a powerful symbol of the truth: that illegal immigration is devastating to the working class and benefits the rich and powerful.

Read the whole thing.

The city of Austin is considering renaming Cesar Chavez Street after allegations emerged that the late civil rights leader sexually assaulted women and girls.

Chavez died in 1993. Shortly after his death, Austin renamed First Street — which stretches from MoPac Expressway through downtown to U.S. 183 — in his honor.

Local nonprofit El Concillo Mexican-American Landowners de East Austin led the movement in the early ’90s to name the road after Chavez. The group is now pushing to rename the street again in the wake of the allegations.

“We as El Concillo, who initiated through petition the renaming of the street, for Cesar Chavez, feel compelled that we have to be accountable and be respectful of the women victims who were part of this experience,” said Gavino Fernandez Jr., a spokesperson for the group. “It is not in the best interest of our organization to be affiliated any longer with him.”

Council Member Vanessa Fuentes told KUT News on Wednesday that the city should respond quickly.

Fortunately, Iowahawk and his X followers are on it!

CHEERFUL STORY DEPT: Defensive Gun Use: Homeowner’s Gun vs. Midnight Moron. “Our fearless homeowner, clearly in no mood for the early morning demands of a wacko, grabbed his firearm and called the cops. He also delivered a clear warning to the window breaker to cease the unlawful behavior. Or else. ‘Go Away! I’m armed. Police are on the way.’ Mr. Window-Smasher didn’t listen and broke out the window and commenced to enter the home. The homeowner, living out every “What would you do if…?” scenario Reddit loves to argue over, did exactly what was needed to stop the violent and illegal entry. He fired to stop the attack.”

Just think of it as evolution in action.

FASTER, PLEASE: F-47 Won’t Be Available Until Mid-2030s, Top Lawmaker Says. “Top Air Force leaders have set an ambitious goal to have the F-47 flying sometime in 2028, which would be about three years after the March 2025 contract award to Boeing. The F-35, by comparison, had its first flight in 2006, five years after Lockheed Martin beat Boeing to win the Joint Strike Fighter contract.”

YES, HE WENT THERE [UPDATED BELOW]:

No matter where you might be right now or what you’re doing, it’s OK to stand up and cheer.

Update: “I think he might have just wrapped up the midterms.”

I dunno about that, but it was certainly worth another chuckle.
