Events in Europe, the Middle East, and here are moving so quickly, it seems that decades of deceit, corruption and, just plain stupidity are nearing their end sooner than we could have imagined. Here’s a sample of the tremors this week which promise to undo the near past. Credible reports indicate 23,000 civilians have been murdered by the mullahs’ forces, and videos (again made public due to the extraordinary efforts of Elon Musk’s teams to work around the mullah's blackouts) reveal extraordinary brutality.

I'm less optimistic; it was just a week go many thought the Islamic regime in Iran was on the brink of collapse. Instead they opened their Satanic hearts and poured evil on the Iranians. Now we read the protests have "calmed." Perhaps our brave media will note that the demand for water and food has slackened. Ms Feldman is right that these are cathartic times, though. She pegs the chaos in Minnesota as a diversionary tactic. "In a clear attempt to deflect from the massive corruption in Minnesota and, in particular, Minneapolis, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey are encouraging the lawless attacks on ICE personnel." She scarcely has space to mention Western Europe's race to authoritarianism, but she does point to bright spots in South America and Eastern Europe. These are busy times for short columns.

BULLSCHEISSE! I've never disagreed with Clarice prior to this article, that I recall. Now, I cannot disagree more! 1. If the Trumpster hadn't LIED his ass off about the aid to Iranians, Twenty Three THOUSAND souls wouldn't be DEAD! That's only a start methinks! 2. Trump is 0 for 3 with his appointments for AG, with the HUNDREDS of Criminals scum who worked for Biden ZERO are in custody, indicted or in fear of prosecution! Republicans are the very least effective at prosecuting the enemies of America! 3. The Garbage that is England has succumbed to the Satanic Cult of Islam... There will NEVER be Peace on this Earth until such time as Islam is entirely eradicated! Soros etal. are impervious to prosecution, they also have Bondi and friends in their collective pockets... Prove me wrong!

Clarice is one wise woman. She rarely throws darts because she owns the dartboard. Trump's handling of Iran is a game of chess. If we go in there too soon with a heavy hand, we become the bad guy, the aggressor vilified by the world. He is doing the smart thing, like playing a 120-pound Yellow Fin Tuna on your line. If you hastily attempt to muscle the fish into the boat, you will lose it. Keep the tension on the line and bring it in gradually. The Iranian regime will cave on their own and scurry away like bloodied rats because they can do nothing else. If we move too hastily, they will go scorched earth and many more innocent people will die. Minneapolis is also a waiting game. A few more incidents like the stupid move of Renee Good will allow ICE and likely the NG to do what needs to be done to smash the hired goons into submission. Officially linking Walz, Omar and Frey to the theft and the disaster will be a big step.

We just read another article that said 16,000 now this one says 23,000 . We need to know the truth before we jump off this cliff. We know that Itan must get rid of the Mullahs before it can be civilized and brought into the 21st century, but why is it that no other country on the world wants to help Iran be free.

Religious affiliation in Iran may be more complicated than we assume. The Iranian government styles itself as Islamic, but some studies suggesting that about half of Iranians are Muslims with most of the other half being atheists or religious skeptics plus significant numbers of Zoroastrians, Christians, Jews, and Bahais.

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin compared the U.S. to Iran in several social media posts Sunday, claiming both countries are guilty of "killing protesters." Martin made his first comparison on X, expressing support for both protesters in the U.S. and Iran for rising up against "systems that wield violence without accountability." "From Tehran to my birthplace of Minneapolis, people are rising up against systems that wield violence without accountability. In Iran, brave protestors confront a far-right theocratic regime that crushes dissent and denies basic freedoms," Martin wrote.

Much of the mainstream news this week has been, in my opinion, partisan or devoted to less-than-significant matters. Does it really matter if the Trump-appointed board that saved the Kennedy Center from going to wrack and ruin has added his name to the building? Were you really surprised that Bill Clinton, not Trump, was pictured in the released Epstein files cavorting with women whose faces were blacked out because they were either minors or victims? (Snip) I think the important and underreported stories of the week, are different -- the growing fractures in the European Union and the Administration’s lowering the boom on richly rewarded migration sponsors.

The Schumer Shutdown and Comey Comeuppance 3 replies
Posted by cThree 9/28/2025 6:15:53 AM Post Reply
To my mind the two biggest stories of the week for their domestic impact are Senator Chuck Schumer’s threatened government shutdown and the indictment of former FBI head James Comey. Neither of them bodes well for the Democrats, whose favorability ratings are already scraping bottom. Both revolve around the magic date September 30, that is, this Tuesday. If the Congress does not pass a continuing resolution this Tuesday, the government will shut down. Schumer insists that he won’t vote for a stopgap bill, something centrists in his party like Senator Jeanne Shaheen are seeking.

By now we are getting used to lower courts misappropriating their roles, acting as if they occupied that of the chief executive. As these cases reach the Supreme Court, they are being overturned, but not without a cost to the president’s agenda or to the respect to which we’d normally accord the judiciary. The notion of a judicial coup is not far off, and people like Elon Musk suggest it’s time for Congress to initiate impeachment proceedings against the worst offenders.

More Americans than ever are choosing not to drink alcohol, according to a new Gallup Poll. Only 54% of respondents to Gallup’s annual Consumption Habits survey conducted last month say they consume alcohol, which is the lowest on record in nearly 90 years. "This coincides with a growing belief among Americans that moderate alcohol consumption is bad for one’s health, now the majority view for the first time," Gallup said in a press release.

A hate-fueled suspect launched a “targeted terror attack’’ in Colorado on Sunday — setting at least one woman on fire as he screamed, “End Zionists!” and lobbed molotov cocktails at people commemorating Israeli hostages still in Gaza, officials said. Video footage captured the alleged attacker — who law-enforcement sources identified to The Post as Mohammed Soliman — in the middle of a tirade about Palestine and calling for death to “Zionists” before he tossed the fiery containers. “They are killers!

The Supreme Court’s order on Monday granting the Trump administration’s emergency request to lift a lower court stay on deportations of certain Venezuelan nationals was unsigned, swift, and unmistakable in its signal—or signals. For now, the executive branch retains its sovereign authority to enforce immigration law. And for President Trump, now in his second, non-consecutive term, the ruling marked an early victory in a week that would yield several more. But if constitutionalists interpret this as a decisive turning point, they misread the terrain. The Left’s lawfare brigades remain dug in

Democrat leaders like Senator Chuck Schumer message thinly veiled threats of violence to their (increasingly small) numbers of followers. They are responding in counterproductive ways like torching and defacing Tesla cars and trucks, vehicles most likely owned by Democrats who believe in the climate change fairy tale and want to reduce CO2 emissions. The logical response of Democrat owners is to blame and leave the party that provokes this nonsensical criminal behavior.

In the days since Renee Good tried to run over an ICE agent in Minneapolis and was shot and killed by an ICE officer, the liberal media has found yet another offensive word to whinge over. “The far-right has coined a new derogatory term for white women, which has gained traction following the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, in Minneapolis earlier this month,” reports The Independent. The objectionable term is the acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. Another variant is AWFL.

Anti-ICE protest disrupted a Sunday church service in Minneapolis after a group of activists entered a congregation and forced worship to stop, according to footage shared online. The incident occurred at Cities Church, a Southern Baptist Convention congregation, where protesters stormed into the sanctuary chanting anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement slogans. The group alleged that one of the church’s lead pastors was affiliated with ICE, a claim the protesters repeated while interrupting the service. Video from inside the church shows congregants visibly shaken with the service ultimately being shut down. It is unclear how the protesters obtained the information that led them to target the church.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) vowed that if elected to be the next governor of California, he would take away driver’s licenses from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. While speaking at an event by the Empowerment Congress, Swalwell was asked about his plan to “protect” people in the state from ICE agents, according to Mediaite. Swalwell explained that he would “direct law enforcement” officials to use “every power to prosecute” ICE officials for “battery, false imprisonment, and murder,” according to the outlet. “They’re gonna lose their immunity,” Swalwell said. “They’re not going to be able to drive, I will take your driver’s license.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Rows of businesses stood shuttered inside a sprawling complex of Somali businesses on a recent afternoon. Karmel Mall in south Minneapolis contains more than a hundred small businesses in suites offering everything from clothing and food to insurance and accounting services. On Thursday, the noisy hallways inside lay quiet, save for occasional chatter between neighboring vendors. The smell of fried food still wafted from the bakeries, the central heating hummed and the sound of Quran recitation flowed quietly from some shops. But many sellers sat alone in their clothing stores, waiting for the occasional customer to walk by. Everyone

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) revealed that Democrats would “restore most of the cuts” that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had made. While taking part in a discussion at the Center for American Progress, Schumer received a question about what he “can do about bringing” the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) back, after DOGE came in and made cuts. “If you look at the budget actually, we’re working on right now — and we’ll have the T-HUD budget, you know, transportation and HUD budget, we restore most of the cuts and even go higher than previous years on many of the programs that DOGE slashed,” Schumer responded.

RINO Congressman Don Bacon (R-NE) floated the idea of impeaching President Trump if he invades Greenland. “I would lean that way,” he said of supporting an impeachment over Greenland. “The off-ramp is realizing Republicans aren’t going to tolerate this and he’s going to have to back off. He hates being told no, but in this case, I think Republicans need to be firm.” Bacon announced his retirement from Congress last July, and he’s eying impeachment as his final act. Bacon also co-sponsored a bill with Democrats to curb Trump’s power and prevent a military invasion of Greenland, which Trump has not expressed plans for.
