The Chinese crackdown on Hong Kong has started. The oppressive regime has arrested four students under the new national security law. The four students arrested had connections to a group called Studentlocalism which was pro-independence. They were charged with “inciting secession”, a charge that carries a possible life sentence.

Can Xi and the CCP really be that afraid. . .


The DOJ released a statement saying two dozen violent “Black Disciples” gang members from Chiraq have been indicted federal charges.

“The alleged leader of the Black Disciples street gang in Chicago is among 23 individuals facing criminal charges as part of a federal investigation into drug and gun trafficking on the city’s South Side,” DOJ statement says. “During the multi-year investigation, law enforcement seized 24 firearms, more than 13 kilograms of cocaine, more than a kilogram of heroin, approximately 1,350 grams of heroin laced with fentanyl, approximately 750 grams of fentanyl or fentanyl analogue, approximately 378 grams of crack cocaine, $52,595 in suspected illicit cash proceeds, and distribution quantities of suspected MDMA pills.  Much of the alleged drug and gun trafficking occurred in the Englewood neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago.”

And what does Admiral Akbar Mayor Lori Lightfoot have to say about that?


According to officials in Los Angeles, four men have been charged with voter fraud. The men reportedly offered homeless people money and cigarettes in exchange for false and forged signatures on ballot petitions and voter registration forms. Richard Howard, 64, and Louis Thomas Wise, 37, were each charged with one felony count each of subscribing a fictitious name, or the name of another to an initiative petition and registration of a fictitious person. Christopher Joseph Williams, 41, and Nickey Demelvin Huntley, 45, were charged with one felony count of circulating an initiative or petition containing false, forged or fictitious names.

And I’m told voter fraud doesn’t exist. . .


The Pentagon announced plans to relocate some 6,000 troops from their bases in Germany. Some will be headed to Poland, others to Italy and the rest stateside. The usual suspects are all up in arms about this. For no reason this former SF intel specialist can see other than Orange Man Bad. Germany is no longer the bulwark against Soviet expansion, the Soviet Union no longer exists. More, Germany isn’t as desirable a forward basing location as say Poland.


Diane I had a Chinese spy working for me Feinstein praised China today. And I quote. (Emphasis mine)

“We hold China as a potential trading partner, as a country that has pulled tens of millions of people out of poverty in a short period of time, and as a country growing into a respectable nation amongst other nations. I deeply believe that,”

How many respectable nations crack down on dissent like the Chinese? How many use forced abortions, birth control, mass detentions, and imprisonment to reduce the population of inconvenient minorities? Bah, I’m gonna give myself a headache.


Here’s some more idiocy from the riots in Portland.

I’m beginning to think some live rounds are in order.



Squad member Ilhan Omar(dumbass, Mogadishu) sent an additional $606,000 to her husband’s firm in the first three weeks of July alone, according to new campaign filings. This is on top of the $1.6 million she’s already spent with his firm. Omar has been the subject of ongoing ethics investigations.
