“The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes. It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Sharia law and targets Sunnis, Bahá’ís, Jews, Christians and other religious minorities. And they do it because they believe that they understand what natural rights are from their Creator. So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.” @timkaine

“Interdiction does not work, because these drug cartels know that they are going to lose 2% of their cargo. They bake it into their economics. What WILL stop them is when you blow them up”
A missionary lady I knew and her infant daughter were killed in 2001 when their plane was shot down in a drug interdiction effort. I have been skeptical of “shoot first, ask questions later” drug interdiction efforts ever since.
Roberto Duterte, former president of the Philippines, is in custody in the Hague at the International Criminal Court for killing drug dealers without trial. Putin, Bibi, and a few others have outstanding warrants at the same body. Blowing up a ship based merely on the accusations of your own gov’t agency can be construed as a war crime or crime against humanity. Respect of rule of law is important — you can’t claim they are drug dealers (or “narco-terrorists” – a term designed to inflame) and then kill them.
Its the same with sending in the National Guard — at what pretext? A few weeks ago, somebody here assured me that DC was different and sending in the National Guard was okay. Now to push the envelope, some are now suggesting its okay to send the Guard from some states to other states on the mere pretext of preventing crimes. A pretext which is bogus — sending the Louisiana National Guard to Illinois to prevent crime is amusing, as Louisiana has a far higher violent crime rate. Yielding arbitrary force based on false pretences is an erosion of the rule of law.
Kaine is right — law and rights come from the government. When the gov’t refuses to acknowledge rights and rule of law, they cease to exist. When people are executing without a trial or deported without due process, they obviously have no inherent rights — if they did, why are they so easy to ignore
Autism rates have indeed increased or at least the reported rates of Autism diagnosis have increased. And it’s the latter that is important; the definition has widened to a “spectrum” and reporting is far more prevalent. Special ed programs have increased this as diagnosis and reporting ensures your child will receive extra help. That is the main reason for the spectacular increase.
To pinpoint other reasons behind the increase is extremely difficult — chemicals in the food supply, vaccines, societal pressure, chemical exposure while pregnant, etc — are all a concern. Interestingly to push for a bio-chemical explanation is to lean to a biological explanation for personality not normally how most conservative Christians lean.
As for vaccines, they’ve been in use for far longer than the increase in autism. I have no desire to see a polio summer in my lifetime so lets stop this nonsense before people start dying needlessly. The decrease in infant mortality is almost directly attributed to mass vaccine programs.
I can’t take Dr Oz seriously. Covid deaths were under-reported in places like China so comparisons are difficult to make. However, the US death rate per million was higher than the EU or Canada; both jurisdictions had stronger or similar rules to the US. Perhaps it wasn’t the rules but the health facilities, adherence to rules, or length of time rules were enforced.
The US has one of the most open free speech rules in the world. Celebrities and public figures will wait until books and articles are published or sold outside the US before proceeding with litigation. The Daily Mail has put its online headquarters in the US despite being a British publication to avoid troublesome UK rules regarding truth in publishing (which is why you should never read the Mail). You can chant “Hang Mike Pence” or other threats to public figures and as long as you don’t make an actual physical attempt to bring that thought or expression to completion you are left alone. You can’t threaten to disembowel a politician in Canada but you can in the US — just don’t purchase a special knife or look up surgical instructions.
The Supreme Court has failed. Even Roberts has acknowledged that rule of law is endangered but failed to take responsibility, nor did he assign blame — all of which is weird from my point of view.
“A shocking report released by the Government of Canada last week has received virtually no attention from the media, despite the fact that it details how Hamas and Hezbollah are carrying out a wide range of activities in Canada to fund their heinous operations.
The report notes, for instance, that Hezbollah’s financial operations are connected to both Canada’s fentanyl crisis as well as our worsening car theft industry, which is one of the worst in the world. Indeed, the report states that the Port of Montreal is a “known link where luxury vehicles are shipped to Lebanon, financially supporting Hezbollah.”
Abuse of non-profit and charitable activities in Canada, as well as licit and illicit financial transactions across the country, are also generating revenue for terrorist groups, among other things.
I’ve been speaking and writing about these trends for years – as have my colleagues at @MLInstitute and @INSSIsrael – but few seem to understand or appreciate how bad the situation is.
“Senator you’ve sat in that chair for how long, 20-25 years, while the chronic disease in our children went up to 76%, and you said nothing. You never asked the question ‘why it’s happening?’ For the first in 20 years infant mortality has increased in our country. It’s not because I came in here, it’s because of what happened in the Biden administration that we’re going to end.”
“Sen. Roger Marshall silenced the room as he revealed the shocking number of shots kids are expected to take by age 18.
“On day number one, they get their first jab, a hepatitis vaccine. By the time they’re 18 months, they’ve had 18 jabs. By the time they get to be able to vote, they have 76 jabs.”
Let that sink in: 76 jabs by 18 — and you’re not even allowed to question any of them.”
This may be the most alarming thing to come out of the People’s Conference for Palestine because it is a step-by-step playbook that America’s enemies could benefit from.
Aisha, a leader with the Palestinian Youth Movement, explained how activists could cripple the U.S. military’s crown jewel fighter jet program, the F-35:“
70% of the cost of the F-35 program actually comes from the supply chain… It functions off of this just-in-time logistics process… If one specific node of the F-35 supply chain is intervened in, it has a huge impact.”
She pressed the audience to study the system and attack weak points with precision:
“We need to be surgical. We need to be strategic. And we need to be bold in our actions. Because there are many different points of these supply chains of death that we can intervene in and we must intervene in.”
This is an operational roadmap for undermining U.S. defense readiness. Framed through Palestine, the implications reach far beyond. Imagine a global conflict where anti-American activists, taking these words literally, set out to sabotage the logistics of America’s crown jewel weapons systems.
I cannot overstate how radical and dangerous this really is.”
“At the People’s Conference for Palestine, Aisha Nizar of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) laid out a militant strategy: don’t just attack weapons manufacturers like Elbit Systems, but target the logistics companies that move U.S. weapons around the world.
“Instead of taking on a weapons manufacturer directly, we said let’s actually go at the veins carrying these weapons across… What we learned is that Maersk is actually using civilian infrastructure to transfer weapons. That’s a contradiction in and of itself… if they’re going to use our civilian infrastructure, that provides an opportunity for everyday people to intervene in the supply chain of death.”
Nizar tied this to the Maritime Security Program, which outfits commercial fleets to carry U.S. military cargo. Because Maersk makes up more than 50% of that fleet, she concluded:
“It’s not rocket science. The U.S. is sending $19 billion worth of military aid to the Zionist entity. Maersk makes up over 50% of this fleet. We know Maersk is a target. We know they’re embedded and profiting big off of our genocide.”
Many assume pro-Palestinian activists are just “useful idiots” parroting slogans. But Nizar’s remarks show a level of strategic sophistication: she’s not talking about chants or rallies, but about identifying chokepoints in global trade and weaponizing them. That should concern anyone who cares about any Western country or ally.”
Something mentioned on the People’s Conference for Palestine’s website is that the speakers at the conference do not all agree on ways to handle their issues. Not all of the speakers and attendees can be assumed to be pro-Hamas or promoting militancy.
Re: “This is who Rashid lies down with, but sure keep pretending she’s not a problem.” If this is in response to my comment yesterday in any way, keep in mind that there is a difference between “She did not say this particular thing,” and thinking she’s just fine and dandy.
No Kizzie, I’m referring to those who think it’s OK to elect foreign born radicals to Congress. Radicals whose loyalties lie with other countries, Talib, Omar, and many others.
“If Senate Republicans worked more than 3 days a week and had any interest in breaking the Democrats obstruction, you could ram through all remaining confirmations in a few weeks. This has been true since January.”
All they had to do was adjourn and allow Trump to make recess appoints, like every other president had the opportunity to do. Instead, they obstruct their own party’s president.
This story is a good example of how rumors and false ideas run rampant on social media sites.
“JD Vance’s Warning About Trump ‘Death Bed’ Misinformation Was… Misinformation“
~ “Vice President JD Vance just pulled off a very 2025 trick: warning about fake news by making some up.
Following a few days of bizarre and baseless rumors — primarily from far left social media trolls and influencers — about President Donald Trump’s health, Vance logged onto X and wrote:
“If the media you consumed told you that Donald Trump was on his death bed because he didn’t do a press conference for 3 days, imagine what else they’re lying to you about.”
It’s a neat line. Punchy. Timely. But also false. No credible outlet — not The New York Times, not CNN, not Fox, not even the most fringe clickbait — reported Trump was on his death bed. The story existed only in rumor mills and the viral, self-feeding algorithms of social media, mainly on the cesspool that X has become since one-time Trump ally Elon Musk killed any moderation in the name of “free speech.”
In fact, these rumors spread like spilled ink on X until mainstream reporters eventually swatted it down with solid reporting. But like all conspiracy theories that persist, it’s virtually impossible to prove that no media outlet reported Trump’s rumored health woes.
And yet Vance cast it as fact. In warning against misinformation, he became a conduit for it. He conjured a lie to illustrate the dangers of lies. Meta-misinformation.” ~
“Leftists spread baseless rumors online overnight Friday and into Saturday morning that President Donald Trump was dead.Phrases including “Trump Is Dead” and “Please Let It Be True” trended on social media and many celebrated the fake news:”
While libs and NTers like to pretend X is now right wing only, it’s not.
This originated on the left, and the right wingers just pointed it out.
“The rumors cropped up on Friday after Trump’s public schedule was sparse on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, with the president signing executive orders on Thursday and also receiving an intelligence briefing the same day, but the events were closed to the press. Even some political figures played into the false rumors, with Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters claiming that the Cabinet had to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
1:49 — that “shocking” report from the Canadian gov’t that no one is mentioning — it’s not shocking, it’s boring, that’s why no one is mentioning it.
The vast majority of the report had to do with money laundering, fraud, crypto, and smuggling. Fentayl was barely mentioned — mostly in the context of the US-Canada border where fentayl and guns are smuggled into Canada and marijuana is smuggled into the US.
Most of the report had to do with nations and organised crime involved in fraud or laundering. North Korea, Iran and Russia were cited as directly involved while Turkey, UAE, USA, and a few other states were involved via private groups. Bike gangs, mafia, and street gangs were cited as additional problems
It took about halfway through the long boring report before they mentioned Hamas and Hezbollah. They were mentioned along with other terrorists groups which included ISIS, Daresh, Taliban, Khalistani (Sikh), Proud Boys (and other white supremacists groups). Hamas barely generated two paragraphs — about as much as the Proud Boys and Khalistani. Hezbollah was given some additional coverage mostly due to Lebanon’s involvement in money laundering in general. They specifically mentioned Hezbollah’s involvement in the used car trade (not stolen as suggested by the tweet). You don’t have to steal used SUVs in Canada — there’s a huge profitable market overseas for used North American cars as long as there’s no import fees at the destination. Alot of Poles got rich in the 90s importing used SUVs.
The report actually spent far more time discussing the Taliban and ISIS than any other group including Hezbollah. In short the tweet was lying. Nothing shocking other than the fact people still take X seriously.
US Infant mortality did indeed dip in 2021- 22, but very little. Perhaps because of Covid related health issues or simply a rounding error (its that minimal). In 2023, infant mortality declined again following the same long term trajectory from the last 75 years, from a rate of 31 per 1000 live births in 1951 to 5.2 per 1000 in 2025.
As I mentioned a few days ago, time periods are important when considering statistics. A blip over a year during a pandemic should be looked at in terms of overall trends. The massive decline from 1950 – 2000 is incredible and almost entirely due to mass vaccine programs. If you don’t like stats, go to your local cemetery and wander through the 1940s section counting the children’s graves and then do the same for 2000s. The difference is stark. Vaccines work.
Sen Marshall has a counting issue. I checked the Ontario gov’ts list of recommended vaccines for children. I counted 15 jabs from 0 to 16 years of age. The 15 jabs would deliver 23 vaccines as some “jabs” were 5 in 1 or 3 in 1 vaccines. 15 needles is better than a dead child or a measles or polio epidemic causing life long problems.
If you want to prevent genocide, looking at the supply of weapons makes sense. And if you rationalise it as preventing genocide, then breaking the supply chain can appear justified and moral. I’m not approving of any acts of sabotage but I can see the logic. Its the same logic, my uncle and friends used to derail trains in the Netherlands during WW2.
The F-35 is a massively over priced inferior jet that doesn’t need anyone to sabotage it. The F-35 sabotages itself.
With the exception of the presidency, immigrants are eligible for office. Radical depends on your political point of view; I think Trump is radical.
“Colonisers” is an interesting choice of words. Palestinians frequently refer to Israeli’s as colonisers. And then again, Europeans are colonisers in North America.
The Trump is dead rumours were amusing and obviously wrong. When I first came across it on my news feeds, I googled and checked with the more reliable sources. Not a single mention at first. A day later, I came across some articles outlining the rumours and why they were wrong.
Considering Trump’s obvious ill health, I’m surprised how deferential the media has been regarding both his mental and physical health problems. And I’m surprised how muted calls for the 25th amendment have been. I’m sure it will get louder because I don’t think he will get any healthier.
So where was the alarm and hand wringing over the obvious mentally compromised Biden those four years? I recall telling my Trump hating neighbor that I would not be voting for a dementia patient for President ie Biden, when she gasped that I would consider voting for Trump. Her own father had dementia so she clearly saw all the signs yet voted for Biden anyway.
“obvious ill health”? Really? Trump seems to be doing quite fine to me….
And Maxine Waters calling for the 25th? Seriously? She is such a dingbat that she needs to be retired! She’s made enough money and trouble for the American taxpayers…
Trump reminds me of my 90 year old mother. When not hidden by clothes or make up, you will notice what appears to be bruising or blood clots on the extremities. Mentally he forgets names or places, etc. When you are at the start of mental decline, your brain relies on muscle memory — for Trump its real estate and its why he seems to think in terms of real estate even when discussing foreign affairs, money etc. His approach to Ukraine is pure real estate mentality and its why it failed.
For all Biden’s issues, he was/is in good physical health. Mentally, he may have had some issues but in terms of muscle memory — he was always a politician so his actions were appropriate for the job. In addition, unlike Trump, Biden delegated authority and chose appropriately.
Maxine Waters like many of the old guard Democrats should retire. The younger Democrats are far more radical and will motivate their base more.
Lol…Biden falling up the AF1 stairs 3 times during his ascent, falling off his bike, falling at the AF Academy graduation, banging his head on the helicopter as he exited…..yep that guy was in fine physical shape!!

“The notion that rights don’t come from laws and don’t come from the government, but come from the Creator — that’s what the Iranian government believes. It’s a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Sharia law and targets Sunnis, Bahá’ís, Jews, Christians and other religious minorities.

Roberto Duterte, former president of the Philippines, is in custody in the Hague at the International Criminal Court for killing drug dealers without trial. Putin, Bibi, and a few others have outstanding warrants at the same body. Blowing up a ship based merely on the accusations of your own gov’t agency can be construed as a war crime or crime against humanity. Respect of rule of law is important — you can’t claim they are drug dealers (or “narco-terrorists” – a term designed to inflame) and then kill them.
Its the same with sending in the National Guard — at what pretext? A few weeks ago, somebody here assured me that DC was different and sending in the National Guard was okay. Now to push the envelope, some are now suggesting its okay to send the Guard from some states to other states on the mere pretext of preventing crimes. A pretext which is bogus — sending the Louisiana National Guard to Illinois to prevent crime is amusing, as Louisiana has a far higher violent crime rate. Yielding arbitrary force based on false pretences is an erosion of the rule of law.
Kaine is right — law and rights come from the government. When the gov’t refuses to acknowledge rights and rule of law, they cease to exist. When people are executing without a trial or deported without due process, they obviously have no inherent rights — if they did, why are they so easy to ignore

Autism rates have indeed increased or at least the reported rates of Autism diagnosis have increased. And it’s the latter that is important; the definition has widened to a “spectrum” and reporting is far more prevalent. Special ed programs have increased this as diagnosis and reporting ensures your child will receive extra help. That is the main reason for the spectacular increase.
To pinpoint other reasons behind the increase is extremely difficult — chemicals in the food supply, vaccines, societal pressure, chemical exposure while pregnant, etc — are all a concern. Interestingly to push for a bio-chemical explanation is to lean to a biological explanation for personality not normally how most conservative Christians lean.
As for vaccines, they’ve been in use for far longer than the increase in autism. I have no desire to see a polio summer in my lifetime so lets stop this nonsense before people start dying needlessly. The decrease in infant mortality is almost directly attributed to mass vaccine programs.
I can’t take Dr Oz seriously. Covid deaths were under-reported in places like China so comparisons are difficult to make. However, the US death rate per million was higher than the EU or Canada; both jurisdictions had stronger or similar rules to the US. Perhaps it wasn’t the rules but the health facilities, adherence to rules, or length of time rules were enforced.

The US has one of the most open free speech rules in the world. Celebrities and public figures will wait until books and articles are published or sold outside the US before proceeding with litigation. The Daily Mail has put its online headquarters in the US despite being a British publication to avoid troublesome UK rules regarding truth in publishing (which is why you should never read the Mail). You can chant “Hang Mike Pence” or other threats to public figures and as long as you don’t make an actual physical attempt to bring that thought or expression to completion you are left alone. You can’t threaten to disembowel a politician in Canada but you can in the US — just don’t purchase a special knife or look up surgical instructions.

“A shocking report released by the Government of Canada last week has received virtually no attention from the media, despite the fact that it details how Hamas and Hezbollah are carrying out a wide range of activities in Canada to fund their heinous operations.
The report notes, for instance, that Hezbollah’s financial operations are connected to both Canada’s fentanyl crisis as well as our worsening car theft industry, which is one of the worst in the world. Indeed, the report states that the Port of Montreal is a “known link where luxury vehicles are shipped to Lebanon, financially supporting Hezbollah.”
Abuse of non-profit and charitable activities in Canada, as well as licit and illicit financial transactions across the country, are also generating revenue for terrorist groups, among other things.
I’ve been speaking and writing about these trends for years – as have my colleagues at @MLInstitute and @INSSIsrael – but few seem to understand or appreciate how bad the situation is.

“PYM’s Aisha: How to Disrupt the F-35 Program
This may be the most alarming thing to come out of the People’s Conference for Palestine because it is a step-by-step playbook that America’s enemies could benefit from.
Aisha, a leader with the Palestinian Youth Movement, explained how activists could cripple the U.S. military’s crown jewel fighter jet program, the F-35:“
70% of the cost of the F-35 program actually comes from the supply chain… It functions off of this just-in-time logistics process… If one specific node of the F-35 supply chain is intervened in, it has a huge impact.”
She pressed the audience to study the system and attack weak points with precision:
“We need to be surgical. We need to be strategic. And we need to be bold in our actions. Because there are many different points of these supply chains of death that we can intervene in and we must intervene in.”
This is an operational roadmap for undermining U.S. defense readiness. Framed through Palestine, the implications reach far beyond. Imagine a global conflict where anti-American activists, taking these words literally, set out to sabotage the logistics of America’s crown jewel weapons systems.
I cannot overstate how radical and dangerous this really is.”

“At the People’s Conference for Palestine, Aisha Nizar of the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) laid out a militant strategy: don’t just attack weapons manufacturers like Elbit Systems, but target the logistics companies that move U.S. weapons around the world.
“Instead of taking on a weapons manufacturer directly, we said let’s actually go at the veins carrying these weapons across… What we learned is that Maersk is actually using civilian infrastructure to transfer weapons. That’s a contradiction in and of itself… if they’re going to use our civilian infrastructure, that provides an opportunity for everyday people to intervene in the supply chain of death.”
Nizar tied this to the Maritime Security Program, which outfits commercial fleets to carry U.S. military cargo. Because Maersk makes up more than 50% of that fleet, she concluded:
“It’s not rocket science. The U.S. is sending $19 billion worth of military aid to the Zionist entity. Maersk makes up over 50% of this fleet. We know Maersk is a target. We know they’re embedded and profiting big off of our genocide.”
Many assume pro-Palestinian activists are just “useful idiots” parroting slogans. But Nizar’s remarks show a level of strategic sophistication: she’s not talking about chants or rallies, but about identifying chokepoints in global trade and weaponizing them. That should concern anyone who cares about any Western country or ally.”

This story is a good example of how rumors and false ideas run rampant on social media sites.
“JD Vance’s Warning About Trump ‘Death Bed’ Misinformation Was… Misinformation“
~ “Vice President JD Vance just pulled off a very 2025 trick: warning about fake news by making some up.
Following a few days of bizarre and baseless rumors — primarily from far left social media trolls and influencers — about President Donald Trump’s health, Vance logged onto X and wrote:
“If the media you consumed told you that Donald Trump was on his death bed because he didn’t do a press conference for 3 days, imagine what else they’re lying to you about.”
It’s a neat line. Punchy. Timely. But also false. No credible outlet — not The New York Times, not CNN, not Fox, not even the most fringe clickbait — reported Trump was on his death bed. The story existed only in rumor mills and the viral, self-feeding algorithms of social media, mainly on the cesspool that X has become since one-time Trump ally Elon Musk killed any moderation in the name of “free speech.”
In fact, these rumors spread like spilled ink on X until mainstream reporters eventually swatted it down with solid reporting. But like all conspiracy theories that persist, it’s virtually impossible to prove that no media outlet reported Trump’s rumored health woes.
And yet Vance cast it as fact. In warning against misinformation, he became a conduit for it. He conjured a lie to illustrate the dangers of lies. Meta-misinformation.” ~

1:49 — that “shocking” report from the Canadian gov’t that no one is mentioning — it’s not shocking, it’s boring, that’s why no one is mentioning it.
The vast majority of the report had to do with money laundering, fraud, crypto, and smuggling. Fentayl was barely mentioned — mostly in the context of the US-Canada border where fentayl and guns are smuggled into Canada and marijuana is smuggled into the US.
Most of the report had to do with nations and organised crime involved in fraud or laundering. North Korea, Iran and Russia were cited as directly involved while Turkey, UAE, USA, and a few other states were involved via private groups. Bike gangs, mafia, and street gangs were cited as additional problems
It took about halfway through the long boring report before they mentioned Hamas and Hezbollah. They were mentioned along with other terrorists groups which included ISIS, Daresh, Taliban, Khalistani (Sikh), Proud Boys (and other white supremacists groups). Hamas barely generated two paragraphs — about as much as the Proud Boys and Khalistani. Hezbollah was given some additional coverage mostly due to Lebanon’s involvement in money laundering in general. They specifically mentioned Hezbollah’s involvement in the used car trade (not stolen as suggested by the tweet). You don’t have to steal used SUVs in Canada — there’s a huge profitable market overseas for used North American cars as long as there’s no import fees at the destination. Alot of Poles got rich in the 90s importing used SUVs.
The report actually spent far more time discussing the Taliban and ISIS than any other group including Hezbollah. In short the tweet was lying. Nothing shocking other than the fact people still take X seriously.

US Infant mortality did indeed dip in 2021- 22, but very little. Perhaps because of Covid related health issues or simply a rounding error (its that minimal). In 2023, infant mortality declined again following the same long term trajectory from the last 75 years, from a rate of 31 per 1000 live births in 1951 to 5.2 per 1000 in 2025.
As I mentioned a few days ago, time periods are important when considering statistics. A blip over a year during a pandemic should be looked at in terms of overall trends. The massive decline from 1950 – 2000 is incredible and almost entirely due to mass vaccine programs. If you don’t like stats, go to your local cemetery and wander through the 1940s section counting the children’s graves and then do the same for 2000s. The difference is stark. Vaccines work.
Sen Marshall has a counting issue. I checked the Ontario gov’ts list of recommended vaccines for children. I counted 15 jabs from 0 to 16 years of age. The 15 jabs would deliver 23 vaccines as some “jabs” were 5 in 1 or 3 in 1 vaccines. 15 needles is better than a dead child or a measles or polio epidemic causing life long problems.

The F-35 is a massively over priced inferior jet that doesn’t need anyone to sabotage it. The F-35 sabotages itself.

For all Biden’s issues, he was/is in good physical health. Mentally, he may have had some issues but in terms of muscle memory — he was always a politician so his actions were appropriate for the job. In addition, unlike Trump, Biden delegated authority and chose appropriately.
