The Native American tribe that owns the land under Billie Eilish’s multimillion-dollar Los Angeles mansion said celebrities should “explicitly” reference the tribes if they want to use them to virtue-signal.
The Tongva tribe confirmed the “Bad Guy” singer’s $3 million home does sit on its “ancestral land,” after the 24-year-old used her Grammys acceptance speech to rail against ICE and insist that “no one is illegal on stolen land.”
The indigenous inhabitants of the Los Angeles Basin, known as the “First Angelenos,” said they appreciate Eilish’s sentiment, however, they noted that the performer hasn’t contacted them directly — and insisted that next time she explicitly reference them.
“Eilish has not contacted our tribe directly regarding her property, we do value the instance when public figures provide visibility to the true history of this country,” a Tongva spokesperson told the Daily Mail.
“It is our hope that in future discussions, the tribe can explicitly be referenced to ensure the public understands that the greater Los Angeles Basin remains Gabrieleno Tongva territory,” the spokesperson added.
Eilish was widely mocked for her comments on Sunday, as she yelled, “F–k ICE” from the stage while denouncing the US as stolen land.
“Oh, gee, this ‘stolen land’ nonsense again? Maybe she should step up and forfeit her Southern California mansion since it is supposedly on ‘stolen land,’” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wrote on X.’
I’d say that members of the Tongva should at least drop by and have a soak in her hot tub, but as Robert Conquest liked to say, “Everyone is conservative about what he [or she] knows best:” Billie Eilish Gets 3-Year Restraining Order For Trespasser.
Which seems odd, considering, “nobody is illegal on stolen land:”
Let's talk about the opening part of this statement: "nobody is illegal on stolen land." We can break it down, but we should also know what it is. What we are looking at is Chinese-style political sloganeering called "tifa" (提法).

THE BIGGEST SYMPTOM IS WHEN YOUR HEART STOPS. THAT ONE’S HARD TO MISS. Cardiac arrest survivor shares symptoms she missed.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NONCOOPERATION AND OBSTRUCTION: When State Resistance Meets the Constitution. “When obstruction occurs, the Constitution does not leave the federal government helpless. The executive branch possesses a sequenced set of lawful responses, ranging from judicial and criminal to, in extreme cases, military, to restore the execution of federal law. Federal courts may enjoin state interference. Conspiracies to obstruct federal officers are illegal under federal criminal statutes. The National Guard may be federalized when governors misuse it to defeat federal authority. And where organized resistance renders ordinary enforcement impracticable, the Insurrection Act authorizes decisive action to reestablish the rule of law. Much has been made of so-called ‘norms’ against the domestic use of military force. Norms may guide discretion, but they do not override law.”
It’s also a norm that states don’t wage war against the federal government.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Over 100 mortar shells found in UNRWA bags in Gaza.
IDF troops located and destroyed a cache of more than 100 mortar shells during mop-up operations on the Israeli side of the Gaza ceasefire line, the military says.
According to the IDF, the 110 mortars, several rockets, and other military equipment were stored inside repurposed UNRWA bags.
The cache was located by troops of the 7th Armored Brigade, who are stationed on the eastern side of the Yellow Line in the southern Gaza Strip.
UNRWA is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hamas.
THIS HAS BEEN OBVIOUS FOR A WHILE TO ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION, JUST FROM HOW THEY WERE ACTING:
One of many lessons from our hearings today.
In many cases, the police were complicit in these rapes. I do not say that lightly.

And yes. It’s mainly because the rapists were…

This "checkpoint" looks lame, but it's the start of a network of what will become stronger and more numerous checkpoints.
Such illegal checkpoints are early nodes of an illegal policing system characteristic of insurgencies worldwide.

CDR SALAMANDER: Old and Busted: Air Supremacy. New Hotness: Orbital Supremacy. Hegseth at Cape Canaveral. “One of the foundation stones of any understanding of the national security requirements of the United States is a requirement to fully understand that we are primarily a maritime and aerospace power. That is our comparative advantage. Aerospace isn’t just air-breathing aircraft, it includes space. . . . The best way to find out what the Trump Administration wants to do, what its priorities are, and where the puck is going, is not to read second-hand reports from people who often have their own agendas or blinkered views of personalities and politics. No. The best thing you can do is go to primary sources.”

NOTHING TO SEE HERE, MOVE ALONG: Oscar-nominated Iranian screenwriter arrested in Tehran after condemning Khamenei.
One of the Oscar-nominated screenwriters of the Iranian drama, “It Was Just an Accident” was arrested yesterday in Tehran just weeks before the Academy Awards.
Representatives for the film say that Mehdi Mahmoudian was arrested Saturday.
No details on the charges against Mahmoudian were available. But his arrest came just days after Mahmoudian and 16 others signed a statement condemning Islamic Republic leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the regime’s violent crackdown on demonstrators.
Hollywood is too busy patting itself on the back at various awards shows for meaningless virtue signaling about ICE and “stolen lands” to notice.
GOODER AND HARDER, NEW YORK: New York Released Almost 7,000 Criminal Illegal Aliens. “New York released almost 7,000 criminal illegal aliens last year as a result of sanctuary policies, rewarding killers, rapists, robbers, and burglars while defying Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).”
REAL MONEY: Medi-Cal spends $608M monthly on cooking, cleaning home services, even for illegal immigrants. “These services are part of a federally-and-state-funded program called In-Home Supportive Services, which was designed to get people assistance at home without having to move to an expensive facility. But the program has grown so rapidly that it is responsible for 41% of job gains in California since January 2019, when Gov. Gavin Newsom took office.”
Nope, nothing fishy about that.

A CONSCIOUSLY ORGANIZED, FOREIGN SUPPORTED, INSURGENCY: The Riot Beat: Everyone’s debating what happened in Minnesota. Few are talking about the real problem: what these “protests” are really like. “I’ve spent years covering left-wing protests and riots across America, from 2020 through the present. What I’ve witnessed on the ground looks nothing like the noble resistance portrayed in legacy media. The reality: Chaos. Violence. Dishonesty. Truly, the street activists are among the most dishonest people I’ve encountered. . . . The real question isn’t whether federal agents were justified in Minneapolis. The real question is what kind of organized resistance has taken root in American cities and what it will take to uproot it.”
The appeal of “protest” is that it lets you act horribly while feeling good about yourself. This particularly appeals to the Cluster B crowd that the left draws on.

THIS IS NO TIME TO GO ALL WOBBLY: More Than 60% Of Midterm Voters Support Deporting Illegal Immigrants, Poll Finds.
Cygnal’s memo reports that 73% of likely midterm voters say entering the United States without legal permission constitutes breaking the law, a view shared by 82% of swing voters, 70% of independents, and 99% of Republicans, while only 48% of Democrats agree.
The firm argues that this baseline perception shapes attitudes toward enforcement, with 61% of voters supporting deportation of people in the country illegally, including 64% of swing voters and 59% of independents. Democrats break sharply in the opposite direction, with 67% opposing deportation.
According to the survey, 54% of midterm voters back ICE’s enforcement role, compared with 59% of swing voters, 52% of independents, and 94% of Republicans. Democrats again diverge, with 81% opposing ICE enforcement. Cygnal notes that 58% of voters oppose defunding ICE, including 66% of swing voters and 92% of Republicans, while 68% of Democrats support defunding the agency.
The firm says Democrats begin with a D+4 advantage on the generic ballot among all midterm voters, but that margin disappears when voters are told Democrats want to defund ICE, shifting the race to R+0.
Pound that message home for the next 10 months.
