When Harmeet Met the Ostroushkos
Posted By: Hazymac, 5/1/2026 4:10:33 PM
These days, to paraphrase Mark Twain's observation about the weather, everyone complains about extreme rhetoric and political violence, but no one does much about it. No one, perhaps, except Harmeet Dhillon. At a recent anti-ICE rally in Minneapolis, Turning Point USA observer/reporter Savanah Hernandez got assaulted by activists for recording the public events. Minneapolis police identified the trio that assaulted Hernandez as members of the Ostroushko family – father Christopher, mother Deyanna, and adult daughter Paige. The video depicts Christopher Ostroushko blindsiding Hernandez, who was injured in the attack. The local police investigation resulted in a minor misdemeanor charge against only Christopher in Hennepin County,

Graham Platner is a piece of work.
You know, yesterday when I wrote about Janet Mills dropping out, I included a Xweet from someone talking about the oppo research on this clown being a possible goldmine.
It hasn't taken 24 hours for the gruesome deluge to start about what a miserable fabulist this hairy beast is.
One thing that caught my eye, being a veteran and having a disabled veteran for a spouse (31 years of Marine Corps wear and tear, but no war wounds, thank God), was Platner's service claims. His DD-214 has debunked the man's sea stories about being in for ten years, but I hadn't
Politicians get hit with a lot of rhetorical shots from critics. It's part of the job. Some of those shots get ignored or deflected pretty easily and others really seem to stick and dog someone for a while. I think Joe Rogan's most recent comments about Gavin Newsom might be the latter type. Here's the clip that was circulating on X: (X) Nobody wants President Newsom either. Nobody believes in that guy. The guy's a ******* con man. I mean everything he did in California from trying to madate vaccines for kids when it was totally unnecessary to being caught out in public without a mask and lying about
Leading the week’s news was the Democrats’ third failed assassination attempt against President Trump. Murder isn’t funny, but that didn’t prevent meme-makers from weighing in. The rest of the week’s news was lighter: King Charles visited America and addressed Congress, and it turned out that Democrats love kings after all. James Comey was indicted, the SPLC continued to draw fire, and Ilhan Omar displayed a remarkable grasp of world history.
So here we go–The Week In Pictures, Missed Me Again Edition. This week features three pirate-related memes, which must be a record. Watch for them:
“Diversity” Is Our Weakness
5 replies
The shibboleth that “diversity is our strength” is one of the worst canards of our time. There is a great deal of empirical data indicating that in general, cultural diversity is a weakness, not a strength. Culturally diverse societies (which can mean ethnically diverse, but doesn’t have to) are generally lower-trust societies, which inhibits economic growth. Western Europe is living proof of that proposition.
But there is another way in which “diversity” in the DEI sense–i.e., the jerry-rigged quotas resulting from an obsession with race, sex, and sexual orientation–is bad. Maximum effectiveness, in terms of economic efficiency, combat readiness, or pretty much anything you want to measure,
Mahmoud Khalil's case is, as Dan Linnaeus explains in the X post linked below, something of a dividing line in how people think about citizenship, the right to stay in a Western country, the limits of tolerance we must have for hatred from noncitizens, and most of all over whether we should see non-Westerners as everywhere and always victims, and Westerners as oppressors who deserve whatever we get.
The American left is appalled that Khalil is being deported for his arguably illegal, and certainly anti-American and antisemitic "activist" activities while a student at Columbia University. He helped organize and lead protests that led to assaults, property damage,

Voters Off the Rolls Because They Are Ineligible 20 replies
Do you ever wonder why so many Blue states refuse to hand over their voter rolls to the federal government?
After all, there is a federal law that requires certain measures to ensure ballot integrity, passed in the wake of the 2000 Florida debacle. It requires, among other things, that states clean their voter rolls of ineligible voters.
But these states refuse to do that, and they refuse to show that they aren't breaking federal law.
Of course, every sentient person knows exactly why they do both of those things: they cheat, and want to make it as hard as possible to detect the cheating, and almost impossible to audit elections
For decades, the mental health industry and its allies in media, government, and education have operated on a simple assumption: the more mental health awareness we spread, through campaigns, school programs, social media, and public service announcements, the better. Raise awareness, reduce stigma, encourage help-seeking, and mental health will surely improve.
New evidence shows the opposite is happening. Well-intentioned awareness efforts are actively backfiring, manufacturing distress, inflating diagnoses, and turning normal human emotions into chronic “disorders.” The shocking result is that these campaigns are turning mentally fit people into self-diagnosed mentally ill patients, with symptoms effectively “contracted” from the awareness messages themselves.
Happy Friday, dear Kruiser Morning Briefing friends.(Snip) Let's do some quick commie bashing and head into the weekend.
Anyone who has been reading me for a while knows that I have some words that I use interchangeably, like communism and socialism. Or Hakeem Jeffries and idiot. We'll be focusing on the first two for the purposes of our discussion today.
Without paying any real attention to the date yesterday, I wrote a column about Hollywood, capitalism, and socialism. I must have had May Day on the mind. It's about the fact that, in a less-than-perfect American free market, the entertainment industry is one of the freest examples
When Does Speech Become Dangerous?
9 replies
Americans love arguing about free speech. We invoke the First Amendment as a kind of political force field: You can say whatever you want, whenever you want, without consequence.
But the First Amendment only restricts government action. It does not guarantee you a career, a platform or immunity from backlash. The real question is not whether certain speech is legal but rather what kind of speech deserves social consequences — and what kind doesn't.
And if we're talking about reckless political speech, we should talk about Jimmy Kimmel. Years ago, he abandoned comedy in favor of applause lines, tearful monologues and the occasional performance of empathy. He's an unfunny
Sometimes, a politician reveals more than they should during their unguarded moments before a friendly face on cable television, as Sen. Jackie Rosen (D-NV) recently did to Michael Steele on MS NOW:
On Monday’s broadcast of MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-NV) said that the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is “about how it comes from our leaders. When people talk about destroying civilizations or calling people name[s], normalizing all of these things, we should not be doing that.”
Sen. Rosen was referencing a Truth Social post from April 7, 2026, when President Donald Trump warned, in reference to the Iranian regime, that "a whole civilization

We haven't heard much about former Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell (CA-14) over the last couple of weeks, presumably because the investigations are continuing into the disturbing allegations of sexual assault that were made against him earlier this month, claims which resulted in his exit from the California gubernatorial race and his resignation from Congress.
Someone else who we haven't heard much from beyond canned social media posts is Swalwell's (now-former?) bestie, Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), whose well-documented bromance was the stuff of legends in Capitol Hill Democrat political circles. At one point, they were roommates in D.C. and going on overseas junkets

Reparations advocates spoke at Kennedy King College in Chicago, Illinois on Tuesday, arguing the "moral" responsibility of the federal government to compensate Black Americans for slavery. One of the attendees was waiting for the event to begin in the hallway with dozens of students outside the college theater auditorium. Grace, a student at Kennedy King College, told Fox News Digital that she was eager to see her professor, Dr. Daniel Davis. "I'm studying African American 101 with Professor Dr. Davis," Grace said. She continued, "I'm here to be more advanced on my ancestors. I've not been to class in over

The United States has been reassessing the force strength our military maintains around the world, under Secretary of War Pete Hegseth in President Trump's second term, and it is now acting on that review, according to new reporting on Friday:
President Trump ordered the Pentagon on Friday to withdraw about 5,000 U.S. service members from Germany amid his public feud with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
The redeployment of troops will bring the number of service members roughly to pre-2022 levels and will affect a brigade combat team and potentially other U.S. forces already in Germany, according to a senior Pentagon official.
A large Roman Catholic diocese pushed back at criticism Friday after Pope Leo XIV appointed a former illegal immigrant as a bishop amid heightened tensions between the Vatican and Washington over refugees and ICE enforcement.
Leo nominated Bishop Evelio Menjivar-Ayala as bishop of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, which covers all of West Virginia. Menjivar-Ayala originally arrived in San Ysidro, California, smuggled in a car trunk after making several prior attempts as a teenager to flee guerrilla war-torn El Salvador.
The bishop has also been critical of increased immigration enforcement measures, calling them a human rights concern and responding directly to critiques of the church from fellow Catholics in the Trump administration ...

Some in Congress are pushing ahead with proposed reforms of the organ donation industry. That, after a bipartisan investigation exposed shortfalls, abuses, and even dangers.
Since 1988, more than half a million U.S. organ donors have made 1.1 million transplants possible. 170 million Americans are registered donors, yet more than 100,000 people still wait. Organ Procurement Organizations, OPOs, are nonprofits tasked with managing removal and transfer.
As an industry insider, Nycki Martin became a whistleblower. She’s a former surgical preservation coordinator for Kentucky Organ Donor Affiliates, or “KODA.”
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Communist and socialist groups called for a "revolution" at a May Day rally in Minneapolis Friday, highlighting the growing influence of far-left organizations at an event traditionally centered on workers’ rights. Some of those demonstrators denounced capitalism and pushed for the seizure of private property and the means of production, marking a shift in tone from past May Day rallies that primarily focused on labor issues. (Snip) Demonstrators carried signs reading "F--k ICE," "Abolish ICE," "Fight Trump’s Agenda," "No Kings" and "Stop the War," while others waved red flags associated with the Communist Party USA and held
For the past two years, New York and New Jersey infectious disease experts have been laser focused on prep and training for the upcoming FIFA World Cup games — with 1.2 million visitors from around the world set to watch 48 teams battle it out on the pitch.
Across the US, those numbers skyrocket to 6-7 million.
And with that massive influx of foreign visitors comes the threat of infectious — and sometimes deadly — diseases, including viral hemorrhagic fevers, RSV, tuberculosis, measles, varicella, hepatitis A, typhoid, malaria, SARS, hantavirus and even “high consequence” diseases with high mortality rates, like cholera and Ebola.
A bill that would allow recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, to buy hot rotisserie chicken is one step closer to becoming law.
On Thursday, the U.S. House voted 384-35 in support of an amendment to the Farm Bill, which would modify the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 to law to allow the purchase of hot rotisserie chicken for SNAP beneficiaries.
U.S. Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., introduced bipartisan legislation labeled the “Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act,” in the Senate a week ago
Jim Acosta. who left CNN when the network decided to move his basement-rated show to a time slot that even less people would watch, is very angry that Scott Jennings is now featured.
As is typical of many leftists, Acosta can’t stand the fact that there’s ONE voice on the network that isn’t explicitly anti-Trump.
Acosta claims this is about Jennings telling a liberal guest to get out of his face.
What Acosta doesn’t seem to realize is that his sour grapes come off as little more than petty jealousy. From Yahoo News:
Media figures are calling on CNN to fire panelist Scott Jennings —
The U.S. Embassy in London issued a security alert on May 1, 2026, urging American citizens in the United Kingdom to remain vigilant after the UK government raised its national terrorism threat level to “SEVERE.” The alert follows the April 29 stabbing attack in Golders Green, a north London area with a large Jewish population, which authorities declared a terrorist incident. The threat elevation signals that a terrorist attack is now considered highly likely, per Counter Terrorism Policing.
On April 30, the UK’s Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre raised the national threat level from “substantial” to “SEVERE.” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood confirmed the change,
Henrilynn Ibezim, a former Democratic mayoral candidate in New Jersey, pleaded guilty to forging nearly 1,000 voter registration applications during the 2021 Democratic primary, New Jersey’s Office of the Attorney General announced Thursday.
During the 2021 Democratic primary for Plainfield, New Jersey’s mayoral seat, Ibezim allegedly brought a garbage bag filled with around 1,000 falsified voter registration applications to a post office in Elizabeth, New Jersey, with the intention of mailing them to Union County’s registration commissioner.
Of the 1,000 applications, most were completed with the handwriting of only three or four people, according to the attorney general.
