People ridiculed President Trump in his first term when he founded the Space Force as a new branch of the military. Well who’s laughing now? True, it might seem that building a wall against alien incursions is impossible, but didn’t Star Trek solve this decades ago with modulated shields? And we’re already long past making analogies between the Administrative State and The Borg. And this, you see, is why I have to re-appear here, because let’s face it, John is just weak (by his own admission) about sci-fi-pop-cul. Meanwhile, the Persian Gulf ceasefire punctuated with “kinetic activity” continues. And oh yeah—Spirit Airlines died. I suspect this is not a coincidence.

Many good ones, but I like "Berrrrrt," the Gatling gun, the best. That's about how it sounds at 6,000 rounds per minute. By this afternoon, there will probably be 400-500 responses, which will include more memes. Have fun!

Karma: SPLC Tried To Cut Off “Hate List”

For decades The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) terrorized the right-of-center political spectrum with fear of being put on SPLC’s “Hate Watch” lists. As I’ve discussed in many recent interviews, the lists were political clubs used against people like Dr. Ben Carson, Prof. Carol Swain, Rand Paul, the Family Research Council, and countless others who did not deserve to be on a list next to Neo-Nazis. We have been on SPLC’s case for over 15 years, SPLC’s hate lists were inflated both by counting “chapters” as individual groups (thereby inflating the numbers) as well as including groups that may have been nothing more than websites with no on-the-ground presence.
DOJ Absolutely Confident SCOTUS Will Legalize
AR-15s Nationwide

On Wednesday, Cam wrote about a YouTube channel publishing AI slop, claiming that carry permits were struck down nationwide. That's one of those "big if true" moments that we all know isn't true. They could have done that with the Bruen decision, if so inclined, and this is the same court that ruled there. It's just not remotely likely that would be true, and that bothers me because it's not like there isn't enough good news to go around, like the latest comments from the DOJ. See, while Rhode Island is trying to take people's AR-15s and similar modern sporting rifles, the Department of Justice is confident just what will happen

As one might imagine, the reactions to Friday's Virginia Supreme Court ruling are fast and flowing, with the state's Republicans doing a victory dance while the state's Democrats - and high-ranking Dems in Congress - cope and seethe. Not surprisingly, Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) isn't talking much about "maximum warfare" at the moment, but he does seem to think Democrats may have another option or two on the table: (X) Jeffries' vow to "explore other options" was echoed by Virginia Attorney General Jay Jones (D), who paused his fantasies about killing former GOP colleagues to bizarrely accuse the Virginia Supreme Court of partisanship:

A Utah man missed his connection at Newark Airport, went to retrieve his checked luggage, which contained a properly declared, unloaded firearm, and got arrested. He did everything right. New Jersey didn't care. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) cited that case in a proposed rule published earlier this week that would amend existing Gun Control Act regulations to protect gun owners during routine travel interruptions — a missed flight, a hotel stay, a fuel stop, a medical emergency. The Utah case isn't an outlier. New York and New Jersey have made a prosecution racket out of ensnaring travelers passing through their airports and highways with legally

A 31.62-carat fancy blue diamond known as the Azure Blue will headline Christie’s Magnificent Jewels auction on June 9 in New York City, where it is expected to draw significant attention from collectors worldwide. Described as the largest fancy blue diamond ever to appear at auction, the stone carries a pre-sale estimate of $6.5 million to $8.5 million. The pear-shaped, modified brilliant-cut diamond boasts VVS1 clarity, with the potential to be reclassified as internally flawless, according to a report from the Gemological Institute of America. It is also classified as a Type IIb diamond—a rare category distinguished by the presence of boron impurities, which not only impart the gem’s vivid blue
'60 Minutes' Reporter Goes from Self-Righteous

CBS’s 60 Minutes was once the gold standard for TV network investigative reporting. Of course, that was back when NBC’s Saturday Night Live was actually a comedy show in the 1980s, and it even made people laugh. Since then, both shows have survived mostly by reputation. Some people continue to tune in, looking for a spark of that long-lost magic these shows once had. In the case of 60 Minutes, it tends to try to do biased investigative work during Republican administrations, and it takes four or eight years off if a Democrat is in the White House. When Republicans are in exile, the program becomes less an investigative operation
Mexican drug lord ‘EL CHAPO’ seeks

Tuesday, May 5, 2026 - Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has sent a handwritten letter to the federal court for the Eastern District of New York requesting to be extradited to Mexico to face charges in his home country, in a move that legal experts consider almost unlikely to succeed. The document, dated April 23 and formally received by the court on May 1, was processed through the Pro Se office of the Brooklyn court, confirming that the drug trafficker acted on his own, without the support or signature of his defense attorneys. The letter, written in grammatically incorrect English, appeals to concepts of "equity" and argues

Well, Seattle, like New York, has elected a real extremist as mayor. Katie Wilson, a despicable woman who looks as though she could be Abigail Spanberger’s sister, and as though she uses a broom for transportation, has decided to singlehandedly drive Seattle deeper into liberal hell than it already is. Like Spanberger, Wilson is tough to look at. True, neither is physically attractive, but the major reason for that is the smug, nauseating arrogance that they reek of. Both have stomach-turning smirks that cement their place in the despicable hall of fame. Like Spanberger, Wilson wasted little time instituting the Democrat destruction of the city, and even the liberal rag,

On our tenuous present globe, blasted daily with obdurate ideology, bloody theology, whilst oozing threats against ideological rejection--we desire to intuit the ultimate victor. As earth’s societies race to prepare for conflict, there remains two diverse Easchatons (end times scenarios). It’s East v West, playing out their visions on a colossal chessboard, the outcome seemingly foreshadowed across the most torrid biblical scenarios. So why must they encompass a nuclear end of ages for Shia Islam? Few know the radical difference between Sunni and Shia Islam, and why the former favors building nuclear weapon as part of their core beliefs. Are Iranian actions shaped by its leadership’s obsession

On March 31st, the U.S. crossed over a financial metric that should scare the heck out of all of us. On that day, our country’s debt exceeded 100% of GDP for only the second time since WWII. We now join debtor nations like Greece, Italy, France, and Canada as horrible stewards of our countries’ economies. High government borrowing raises the economic risk that interest costs will crowd out investment for everyone and make our system more vulnerable to shocks. The political risk is that it limits policy flexibility and fuels conflict over taxes, spending, and long-term obligations. High debt may be the single most powerful factor holding young people back from achieving

Despite the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the Democrat-media complex, the war with Iran is not a war of choice in any practical sense. If anything, the current operations represent the end of the great pretending, since Iran has long been at war with us, keeping their attacks just low enough in intensity or with just enough plausible deniability to allow for the continuance of that pretending. Iran is the single most committed and least deterrable enemy of the United States, and was developing ever more lethal means to inflict grave harm. Democrats and their media allies who mostly know better are calling operations against Iran a war of choice

Don’t break up because of that Mam! New York leaders are desperately trying to stop billionaire bigwigs from hightailing out of the Big Apple with their cash, businesses and thousands of jobs — as fears mount that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s policies will accelerate the Empire State’s nation-leading loss of wealth. The splashy one-two punch of Citadel CEO Ken Griffin and Apollo Global Management honcho Marc Rowan pledging to expand outside New York City has been coupled with a silent wave of businesses “quiet quitting” the city over its hostile environment, insiders told The Post.
James Clyburn Furious as South Carolina
State Legislature Opens Door to Redistricting

The South Carolina House voted last night to open the door for redistricting in a special session a week from now. The measure still has to pass the South Carolina Senate; however, with the Indiana outcome at the forefront of their political future, the redistricting is more than likely. As a consequence, South Carolina Democrat James Clyburn is potentially going to lose his gerrymandered seat in congress. Given Clyburn’s stature as one of the key architects of the DNC ballot harvesting and election counting fraud via the AME Church network, Democrats are apoplectic.

The battle for control of the U.S. House is increasingly being fought not just at the ballot box but in the map room. Just days after the Volunteer State’s GOP-led legislature rammed through a new congressional map that ELIMINATES the state’s only Democrat-held and Black-majority seat, turning Tennessee into a solid 9-0 Republican delegation, a bombshell new “Crystal Ball” redistricting report is out, and it’s devastating news for Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, and the entire crying, screaming Democrat Party. This comes on the heels of the Supreme Court nuking Louisiana’s illegal racial gerrymander and opening the floodgates for fair maps across the South.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has classified the hantavirus outbreak as a “Level 3” threat and activated its Emergency Operations Centers, sources told ABC News Thursday. The designation is the lowest level of emergency activation, signifying that the risk to the general public remains low — in line with information given by the World Health Organization earlier Thursday The CDC is actively monitoring the situation, including by activating the Emergency Operations Centers. This typically signals that a designated emergency team has been set up to handle hantavirus, the outlet reported. Epidemiologists, scientists, and physicians may be reassigned to monitor and assist with the disease response.

White House chief of staff Susie Wiles made a stunning assertion at the Independent Women’s Forum’s Awards Gala in Washington DC, Thursday, declaring that she believes “we’re going to find out” President Trump actually won many of the swing states he supposedly lost to Biden in 2020. Wiles was honored with the IWF’s Barbara K. Olson Woman of Valor Award, which recognizes women who demonstrate “commitment and courage to advance economic liberty, personal responsibility and political freedom.” In March, Wiles announced she had been diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer while stressing she had been given a strong prognosis. President Trump honored his longtime aide with a surprise video tribute.

The Virginia Supreme Court's ruling striking down Democrats’ costly redistricting push sparked an uproar on social media over the massive sum the party spent to pass the now-defunct congressional map. Virginians for Fair Elections, the main pro-redistricting group, raised north of $64 million in support of the Democratic-friendly gerrymander that could have netted the party four GOP-held seats in November’s midterm elections. Nearly $40 million of that came from an outside spending group aligned with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., who was heavily involved in the effort to redraw

The Virginia Supreme Court has struck down a congressional redistricting map approved by voters in a referendum last month, ruling that the Democratic-controlled Legislature failed to follow constitutional procedures when advancing the measure. The proposed map would likely have favored Democrats, giving them four additional congressional seats and creating a projected 10-to-1 advantage over Republicans in the state’s U.S. House delegation. The decision could strengthen Republican efforts to maintain control of the U.S. House of Representatives ahead of the midterm elections.

But Barack Obama is doing exactly that, from a May the Fourth post with Star Wars actor Mark Hamill to doing an interview with Stephen Colbert about his presidential center. We reported earlier on how involved Obama was with the design and how they were selling an ugly blob of a pin, which represented the ugly building well.But the real ugly legacy that Obama left was the division he stoked with a smooth smile.

The 2026 midterms are just a few months away, and the Democrat Party still has no coherent answer to why it lost working-class voters in Pennsylvania, in Michigan, across the Rust Belt, to Donald Trump twice. Rather than reckon with that, the activist base has doubled down: more ideological purity tests, more litmus questions, more performative opposition to anything bearing the Trump name. Its loudest voices are busy policing their own members. Into that mess steps Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) — not leaving the Democrat Party, but making clear in a Thursday op-ed that he understands exactly what's wrong with it. In doing so, he may have delivered

Which State Is Next In The Medicaid Fraud-O-Rama? 10 replies

When the scale of the Medicaid fraud in Minnesota started to emerge, our first thought was that, if it’s that easy to rip off Medicaid, the North Star State can’t be the only place where it’s happening. Turns out we were right, as the Daily Wire’s exposé of massive fraud schemes in Ohio makes clear. Which means there are almost certainly still more to be uncovered. Which leads to the question of why we are learning about this only now. Daily Wire is releasing a five-part series that alleges massive fraud in an Ohio Medicaid program – a state that obtained a waiver so it could reimburse “home healthcare.”
