The president is insane

He just posted this.

Bonkers. Certifiable. Loopy. Totally nuts.

I’d say it’s 25th Amendment time, except that amendment is useless.

Section 4. Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

So it’s up the the vice president to call out the president? Vance is as demented and vile as Trump is. We’re stuck with this incompetent dingbat.

Nazis will be prosecuted

The Seattle Times covered the story of that Nazi who crashed a University of Washington psych class. A couple of new details: he invaded the class twice, once at the beginning when he ran away when campus security was called, and then at the end, which prompted the mass uprising by the class. And now we know a little more about his fate:

In a statement, the university called the classroom disruption “completely unacceptable” and said the individual is not a UW student. “The instructor and several students from the class followed the person until UWPD (University of Washington Police Department) personnel arrived and took him into custody,” the statement read. “We will be issuing a ban from campus.”

UW said the case remains under investigation, with criminal charges pending. The matter will be referred to the King County prosecuting attorney’s office.

University campuses are fairly open places — you want to visit the student union and buy an ice cream cone? Go ahead. You want to stroll through the hallways and see what students are doing? You can. You want to walk into a classroom and listen to a lecture for an hour? Entirely possible, although if you disrupt the class we will have zero tolerance for that nonsense. I’ve had visitors to my classes, and it’s never been a problem. Of course, they haven’t been Nazis.

The country is being run by snot-nosed, immature teen-aged man-children

I didn’t know this until now — universities don’t make these, I guess — but there is a class of memorabilia called challenge coins. Usually, these are given out by military organizations to commemorate specific events, ranging from a visit to a major victory, but there are many other organizations that hand them out for all kinds of reasons. I’ve never received one, or given one out, and I felt briefly left out when I discovered that the FBI is also handing them out, especially this one that Kash Patel is proudly giving people.

The challenge coins being handed out by @FBIDirectorKash. Seems someone put a lot of thought into this.

A skull with guns for teeth, and oh my god, it has spiders in it’s eye sockets, based on the Punisher logo? It’s just cartoonishly evil.

“Looks like a nerd stuck forever in puberty designed a challenge coin while being on 15 cans of Monster,” one user commented on the design.

Others quickly pointed out that the Punisher symbol might not be the best choice for an FBI director.

“The Punisher is a symbol of “law and order” failing. It has very little business in the office of the FBI Director,” one user posted.

The use of the Punisher logo by law enforcement and the military has drawn criticism from the character’s creator, Gerry Conway, who told Forbes: “It always struck me as stupid and ironic that members of the police are embracing what is fundamentally an outlaw symbol.”

The Battle of Chicago has begun

It is not bringing glory to the fascists.

In the pre-dawn hours of September 30, federal agencies coordinated a large-scale immigration enforcement action targeting a five-story apartment building near 75th Street and South Shore Drive, according to a Department of Homeland Security official. The DHS said that 37 individuals were arrested and that the operation involved the U.S. Border Patrol, FBI, and ATF.

The agency claimed the building and surrounding area were tied to activity by the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, and that those arrested included people allegedly involved in drug trafficking, weapons offenses, or immigration violations.

Ebony Sweets Watson, who lives across the street from the building, told WBEZ Chicago that she saw federal agents dragging residents, including children, out of the building without clothes and loading them into U-Haul vans. She said the children were separated from their mothers.

Assaults on apartment buildings to tear naked children from their mothers is not very photogenic, especially when the assailants are armored up and masked. Were the children members of Tren de Aragua? Were they armed and selling drugs? I could believe that there were a few individuals in that building who were suspected of “drug trafficking, weapons offenses, or immigration violations,” but that doesn’t warrant harassing and harming and terrifying the innocent people who lived there.

Follow the rule of law or GTFO, ICE.

So proud of my alma mater

A Nazi barged into a class, Psych 210 (The Diversity of Human Sexuality), threw Nazi salutes, and called everyone there “degenerates.” He got more than he expected — practically the entire class rises up and chases him out, and pursues him across campus. It’s hilarious. There’s a moment in the video, which is focused on the Nazi running away, in which the camera briefly turns back and you see this huge boiling mob of students marching forward.

The students look like they’re having a good time.

They don’t beat up the Nazi, though. They surround him, and eventually the campus police show up to handcuff him and escort him away. That’s how you do it. It’s how I’d hope our students would respond if a similar incident occurred.

I hope Trump doesn’t use this as a pretext to invade the University of Washington with his stormtroopers.

Israel demonstrates their criminality again

Since September first, a flotilla of 40 ships from various nations have been slowly sailing across the Mediterranean to deliver a token amount of aid to Gaza. This is a PR move — the reason they are taking so long is because they’re not bringing huge amounts of relief, but are instead trying to bring attention to Israel’s oppression.

Because it specifically has the goal of bringing the world’s attention to the crimes of Israel, you know it would not undermine its message by, for instance, secretly hauling crates of AK-47s. It’s just food and medical aid, and people who are talking on their cell phones to spread the message. That’s why the flotilla has been harassed by electronic countermeasures along the way, and getting buzzed by drones to deprive the passengers of sleep.

And then, yesterday, the Israeli navy boarded the ships and detained people, ending the flotilla’s mission. They have excuses!

Israel has argued its actions constitute a lawful naval blockade needed to prevent Hamas from importing arms, while critics consider it collective punishment of Palestinians in Gaza.

Whether the blockade is militarily justified is a point of contention. But the flotilla argues they are a civilian, unarmed group and that the passage of humanitarian aid is guaranteed under international law.

Uh, Israel? You’ve seized the ships, you’ve got troops on board, if they were importing arms, you could be releasing photos of those imaginary crates of AK-47s. You could produce documents that you’ve seized showing correspondence with terrorist organizations. They haven’t! It wouldn’t be believable given Israel’s history of faking evidence, and given the flotilla’s obvious goal of establishing a peaceful propaganda coup.

Well, they succeeded. Israel’s ham-handed attack on the flotilla is just demonstrating that they are criminals who don’t like their ongoing genocide being interrupted by peaceful activists.

West Point is training antifa traitors!

West Point, the military training institution, has something called “Constitution Corner” where various plaques celebrating the principles of the Constitution are posted. This one is outright seditious.

The United States boldly broke with the ancient military custom of swearing loyalty to a leader. Article VI required that American Officers thereafter swear loyalty to our basic law, the Constitution
While many other nations have suffered military coups, the United States never has. Our American Code of Military Obedience requires that, should orders and the law ever conflict, our officers must obey the law. Many other nations have adopted our principle of loyalty to the basic law.
This nation must have military leaders of principle and integrity so strong that their oaths to support and defend the Constitution will unfailingly govern their actions. The purpose of the United States Military Academy is to provide such leaders of character.

That is definitely antifa.

Are you a criminal?

Yes, you are! President Trump (or more perhaps more accurately, Stephen Miller) has issued an Executive Memorandum on National Security for Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence. It names all the activities/ideas that they claim lead to domestic terrorism.

There are common recurrent motivations and indicia uniting this pattern of violent and terroristic activities under the umbrella of self-described “anti-fascism.” These movements portray foundational American principles (e.g., support for law enforcement and border control) as “fascist” to justify and encourage acts of violent revolution. This “anti-fascist” lie has become the organizing rallying cry used by domestic terrorists to wage a violent assault against democratic institutions, constitutional rights, and fundamental American liberties. Common threads animating this violent conduct include anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Christianity; support for the overthrow of the United States Government; extremism on migration, race, and gender; and hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family, religion, and morality. As described in the Order of September 22, 2025 (Designating Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization), the groups and entities that perpetuate this extremism have created a movement that embraces and elevates violence to achieve policy outcomes, including justifying additional assassinations. For example, Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin engraved the bullets used in the murder with so-called “anti-fascist” rhetoric.

Here’s a convenient list of beliefs that will make you a suspicious person whose arrest is justified before they commit any crime. It’s vague and unenforceable, except by a Kafkaesque bureaucracy that doesn’t care about evidence or rational justification. I went through the list and checked off all the ones that apply to me — or at least, could be twisted to label me.

✓ anti-Americanism,

✓ anti-capitalism,

✓ anti-Christianity,

• support for the overthrow of the United States Government,

? extremism on migration,

? extremism on race,

? extremism on gender

✓ hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,

✓ hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on religion, and

✓ hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on morality.

(I put a question mark by the “extremism” items, because it’s so vague that it could apply to anyone — I think claiming there are only two sexes is extremist, for instance.)

The only one that doesn’t apply is “support for the overthrow of the United States Government” but, you know, at the rate things are going that could change.

Check yourself! Who else will be joining me in an internment camp? See you all in some sweltering tropical swamp surrounded by barbed wire in the near future!

Why are they on the front lines?

Here’s the same thing I said the other day, only far more amusingly.

Where is the Democratic leadership? We’ve got a couple of do-nothings like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries doing their best to dodge responsibility, rather than standing up and fighting back. The Democrats have no coherent policy on health care to oppose the quacks who have taken over our scientific institutions, and on the issue of immigration, they seem to be Republicans Lite. I dread the next election — I’ll be voting against every Republican on the ballot, but I won’t be enthused about voting for the opposition.

OK, I’m warming to Tim Walz.

Just another liberal-atheist terrorist

There was a terrible mass shooting in Michigan — the killer drove a truck into a Mormon church, set it on fire, and killed four. What I mainly heard in the aftermath of the tragedy was that the killer hated Mormons, thought they were an anti-Christian cult, etc., etc., etc., and Fox News was practically drooling at being able to pin this event on a leftist god-hating atheist fanatic. That’s what we do, after all.

Trump has declared,

PRAY for the victims, and their families. THIS EPIDEMIC OF VIOLENCE IN OUR COUNTRY MUST END, IMMEDIATELY!

That hope that the bad guy was on the correct side of the political spectrum has been fading away as we learned more about the guy. He was a Marine who served in Iraq. He drove a pickup truck with two American flags flapping above the bed.

Sanford’s political beliefs were reportedly conservative, and he was seen wearing a T-shirt endorsing Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election bid in a photo shared on Facebook, according to the Daily Mail.

The suspected shooter’s T-shirt also featured a graphic reading “Make liberals cry again.”

A Google Street view of Sanford’s home taken in June showed a “Trump-Pence” sign affixed to a back fence, the Detroit Free Press reports.

Meanwhile, the motive for the attack is unclear, just as you might expect from a sneaky liberal commie.
