THEY’VE PATCHED THINGS A BIT, BUT THEY STILL NEED HEAT THEY CAN RELY ON:  Help the Gregorys with home repairs!

And rest assured they are working multiple jobs already.

ICYMI:

If you are surprised to see such a large volume of professional class leftists acting in psychotic fashion in response to routine immigration enforcement, remember the conduct of this same group during covid: masking babies, terrifying children, boycotting family, shuttering…

WHEN POLITICS BECOMES RELIGION:

As Tom Wolfe wrote in his epochal 1976 article, “The ‘Me’ Decade and the Third Great Awakening:” “It is entirely possible that in the long run historians will regard the entire New Left experience as not so much a political as a religious episode wrapped in semi military gear and guerrilla talk.” (That line was written with early ‘70s radical chic in mind, but reverberates quite nicely today, given Antifa’s current love of paramilitary cosplay.)

THINGS THAT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE, BUT AREN’T: Whoopi Goldberg Just Keeps Getting Dumber.

SOMETHING NOT PRESENT-DAY POLITICAL:  The Forgotten Horse Races of Ueno Park (1). Tokyo’s most prominent park housed Japan’s most important racetrack. Today few people know it existed.

DEMOCRAT SOCIALISTS, MAKING THINGS MORE AFFORDABLE:  Instacart abruptly charges NYers new fee on orders thanks to new law — here’s how much more you’ll pay.

IF HE OFFERED THE MULLAHS MORE THAN “TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN” IT WAS A MISTAKE:  Trump Issues Warning to Iran: Make a Deal. Or Else.

THERE’S NOTHING SUSPICIOUS ABOUT THIS, NOTHING AT ALL, ANYBODY SAYING OTHERWISE IS RACISSSSST:  It’s a Question Everyone Is Asking About the Ilhan Omar Syringe Attack…and I Can See Why.

THAT’S BECAUSE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY HAS GONE COMPLETELY INSANE:  What the Dems Reportedly Want Regarding Future ICE Arrests Is Totally Insane.

ALL OF THIS, BUT ALSO WHO BRINGS A DESPERATELY ILL CHILD ON THAT PUNISHING A TRIP?  Senate Judiciary Dems Called Out for Deceptive Tweet on Young Girl Who Died in CBP Custody.

MORE COMMUNIST TACTICS TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION OF POPULAR SUPPORT:  I went to a public LAPD meeting for The California Post — then an anti-cop mob swarmed me screaming ‘pigs’ at the cops.

AGAIN, THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE:  In other news, 9th Century tribesmen. Are acting like it’s the 9th Century.

THIS IS MY SHOCKED FACE:  Fraud Concerns Spread From Minnesota to Ohio. Anti-fraud efforts were already underway in Ohio, officials say, long before outrage over Minnesota Somali fraud spread suspicions to the Buckeye State.

Expect unrest to follow, since the unrest is designed to hide the fraud.

INTERESTING:  So, We Have a National Defense Strategy. …no one is hiding anything. just read it…

VERY COOL:  Saturn’s rings with two of its moons perfectly aligned.

DUCKWORTH V RUBIO AND IT WASN’T EVEN CLOSE:

There have been few times when I could ever say I’d learned something from a Senate hearing – most instances turn into a partisan grandstanding shriek-a-thon, like Duckworth’s did.

But today has been informative and has had some humor, too.

We are very lucky Marco Rubio told Trump he’d take the jobs…and the next one…and then that one…and that.

Oh.

And the other one.

JD Vance shouldn’t believe he has the 2028 nomination in the bag just yet.

RICK MORAN: Iran Has Entered a ‘Doom Loop’ Thanks to the Internet Shutdown.

The government claims about 3,100 dead protesters, including hundreds of security personnel. The UN claims 14,000-20,000 dead. Reports emerged in mid-January that the sheer number of casualties in Tehran and other major cities exhausted the supply of body bags, with authorities reportedly using semi-trailer trucks to transport the dead.

The protests have quieted, largely thanks to security personnel shooting or arresting anyone who dares protest. More than 40,000 people have been arrested. How many of those poor souls will emerge from captivity is unknown.

The internet in Iran is still down, and authorities are terrified of reinitializing it. Their vast internal intelligence networks are telling them that the people are not going back to blind obedience to the regime.That’s because with the internet down, commerce in Iran has come to a screeching halt. Store shelves are empty. People aren’t working. In a nation sitting on an ocean of oil, most gas stations are closed.

This has led Iran into a “doom loop.” Commerce has slowed to a crawl, meaning the conditions that led to the economic protests in the first place have only worsened. It’s inevitable that this will lead to more protests and another crackdown.

How much longer the regime can last is an open question.
