BORDER: Mexico’s National Institute of Migration (INM) reported finding 206 dehydrated, drugged migrants packed into a locked and airtight container truck.

Our Border Patrol agents are warning that kids as young as 8 are being drugged and smuggled into the US by traffickers posing as their parents or family members.

DOUBLE STANDARDS: Lefties still maintain that when Trump told his supporters to “protest peacefully” on January 6, he was really inciting them to violence!

But when, even after seeing Trump get shot, Democrats and their lapdogs continue to use inflammatory rhetoric like that cited below, saying it’s just metaphorical language.

  1. He has vowed he would be a dictator on day one. He has called for the quote ‘termination of the Constitution of the United States.’” – VP Kamala Harris @ https://x.com/EndTribalism/status/1835404213339189418 [:39]
  2. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated.” – Rep Dan Goldman [D-NY] @ https://x.com/JakeAyersX/status/1835709913311461729 [:15]
  3. Threat to democracy” (repeatedly) – MSNBC host Joe Scarborough @ https://x.com/Jules31415/status/1838263776140833196 [2:03]
  4. Let’s extinguish him for good”– Harris-Biden Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo @ https://x.com/TrumpWarRoom/status/1838932613269946669 [:16]
  5. “Trump’s Threat to Democracy Is Now Systemic” @ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/08/donald-trump-indictment-gop-jan-6/674895/

Even after former President Trump escaped a second alleged assassination attempt, Democrats refuse to tone down their rhetoric.

  1. “The fact of the matter is that he is a threat to democracy,” said Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga
  2. “I think we should be clear that he is a threat to democracy,” said Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wa., and argued that “his (Trump) rhetoric should be toned down, absolutely.
  3. “He is a threat. Period. Point-blank,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas.

They even blame Trump for the attempts on his life.

  1. Trump’s rhetoric has caused violence, not Democrats calling him a threat to democracy” by Donna Brazile (twice chair of Democratic National Party)

LEFTIST DELUSIONS: She talks about the delusional beliefs that all narcissists have and the damage that can happen to someone being subjected to their delusions. [10:50]

PUPPET MASTER: Tampon Tim Walz met with George Soros’ heir apparent, Alex. The Harris campaign tried to keep it a secret. Walz was also photographed with Alex and his girlfriend, Huma Abedin at the 2024 Democratic National Convention. Huma, you will remember, is the ex-wife of registered sex offender Anthony “Carlos Danger” Wiener and was one of Hillary Clinton’s closest aides.

RIP: Dame Maggie Smith passed away early this morning in London. She was 89. She was a brilliant actress who won two Academy Awards, five BAFTA Awards, four Emmy Awards, three Golden Globe Awards and a Tony Award, as well as nominations for six Laurence Olivier Awards.

BIG APPLE: New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted by a federal grand jury on criminal charges. Adams says he’s innocent and that the Biden administration has gone after him for criticizing its immigration policies.

BIG BUSINESS: It is the fervent belief of the Left that the Republican Party is all about protecting the rich. Funny thing how …

The top five business donors to Harris-Walz are Google ($1,464,292), Microsoft ($743,045), Brown & Brown (insurance firm) ($324,568), Johnson & Johnson ($239,394), and Apple ($225,390). Google, Microsoft, and Apple control the vast majority of web browsers and search engines.

The top 5 business donors to Trump-Vance are American Airlines ($134,174), Walmart ($83,908), Boeing ($82,761), Lockheed Martin ($69,552), and United Airlines ($67,742).

N.b., the smallest item on the Dem list (Apple’s $225,390) is about $90K more than the biggest one on the GOP list (American Airlines’s $134,174).

BORDER: Officer David Lee of St. Louis leaves behind a wife and two children after being run down by a drunken illegal with no driver’s license. The police report inexplicably labels the Honduran native as a “white” male, but don’t hold your breath waiting for any Leftists to rage about racism or toxic masculinity cuz, in the Leftist’s playbook, all illegals are peaceful dreamers while all cops are bastards.

NARCISSISTIC SOCIAL UNITS: [11:43] – As I’m listening to this, I can’t help thinking how many characteristics the Leftist cult has to a narcissistic family.

PERV: CLICK https://x.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/1838292810346180956 [:55] to see him get his daily dose of prepubescent females. Ick.

SCAPEGOAT: Narcissistic social units require a “scapegoat” – i.e., a person on whom the unit can focus their anger and blame for their problems. Scapegoating both energizes the members and frees them from accountability. Before Trump, the Left’s scapegoat was Sarah Palin. Before Palin, it was GW Bush. Same vitriolic gas-lighting. Same vicious social dysfunction.

SOROS: The world’s biggest, richest far lefty is buying up more than 200 radio stations nationwide, and the FCC — right before the election — is fast-tracking the purchase, even though there’s usually a strict standard review process when foreign ownership of a US radio station exceeds 25%.

TRUMP vs. SHRILLARY: [2:14] – H/t Mindful Webworker for clips of some of the jokes from the 2016 Al Smith charity dinner.

WALK AWAY: [9:24] – I love this channel!

GRAMMY NOTES: Anyone else remember the gas crisis during the Carter era? They turned the heat off at my job. We were allowed to stay home, but only if we could afford to not get paid. I worked at a school. It was Christmas break. As in, no students. As in, very little work to do. But we Band of Brothers (and Sisters) who needed the paycheck had to come in every day. Mostly, we just shivered and complained about the management. But hey, it was tough to do any typing or filing while wearing mittens! I worked there for a year, but the only time I ever saw the principal was during that week, when he would stroll through our chilly offices each day … in shirt sleeves no less … to “buck up the troops.” His gossipy (and pissed off) secretary made sure that everybody in the building knew that his office was heated.

2024: Keep praying. They’ll just try to cheat harder.

CATHOLIC: Please remember in your prayers our newly Confirmed Mascots, Buzz “Carlo” (Acutis) and Bunny “Maria” (BVM and Goretti). ❤

CHARITY: Every four years, New York Catholics host a charity event called the Al Smith dinner. Smith, of course, was the first Catholic to run for our highest office. They always invite the two rival presidential candidates, where the two always make lighthearted jokes about one another, as they help raise money for NYC’s unfortunate. Cardinal Dolan (aka the Archbishop of New York) has announced that Harris has declined the invitation saying, “This hasn’t happened in 40 years since Walter Mondale turned down the invitation. And remember, he lost 49 out of 50 states.” Trump will be there.

EVs: CLICK https://www.facebook.com/1611293976/videos/3634502696834998 [3:49] to hear how hypocritical and impossible the Left’s climate goals are. They don’t actually care about “Saving the Planet” (which is far beyond their ability anyway). In my not-so-humble opinion, their true long-term goal is to turn 98% of us into medieval serfs who never travel more than a few miles from where we were born. They, of course, plan to be the lords who own all the weapons and get to decide every detail of their lives.

MILITARY: On Monday, a Pentagon spokesperson said we are sending more troops to the Middle East in response to “increased tensions“ in the region. Currently, the United States has about 40,000 troops in the region. I wonder if Harris will continue to tell us her convenient untruth: “There is not one member of the military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world for the first time this century.

She gets this based on a technicality, which is that we aren’t engaged in any large scale so-called wars. But the Founders reserved the power to declare war to Congress … which has not done so since World War II. So Harris’ claim was true not only for Bush’s “stupid war”, but also in the previous century when our 36K+ of our troops died in Korea and 58K+ died in Vietnam.

ROWLING: Personally, I wouldn’t roast marshmallows over burning books. There’s no telling what toxins are in the smoke … from the ink, glue, etc. Not from the ideas the author espouses but did not include in her wonderful stories. ::smh:: I mean … at least her books are actually fun and interesting, unlike leftist stories that constantly beat you over the head with their ideologies.

GRAMMY NOTES: Happy “National Daughters Day” to my three precious girls … who have, so far, produced two tiny replicas! As for the one who only has boys, don’t think you’re going to get away with anything. Those genes will tell. And Nonno and I are so enjoying it all!!

CLIMATE HOAX: The UK government is considering a new climate law so, of course, the people who want it passed are shrieking again about how “we’ve got a small window left and the next five years are make or break.” Whatever. In 2010, Al Gore said the Ice Caps would melt in 5-7 years. They are still fine.

JUSTICE: All-In podcast [36:30] – CLICK https://x.com/BehizyTweets/status/1837947127009280081 [3:24] to hear the part where Kelly dismantles all the lawfare cases against Trump.

PRIVATE CHARITY: CLICK https://x.com/margommartin/status/1838346566299480305 [:20] to see Trump give $100 to a young mother of three to help with the grocery bill. Dems went nuts. “That’s illegal!!” Yeah … kinda like it’s illegal that the Dems are ignoring multiple Supreme Court orders to stop “forgiving” student loans.

Also, Trump is a genuinely generous man who has done this kind of thing all his life. Remember when the Clemson football team was scheduled to visit the White House when the chefs were gone because Congress had shut down the government? Trump ordered in from McDonald’s to feed the team.

By contrast, remember what happened when Congress shut down the government under Obama and the White House gardeners went home? They photographed the produce in “Michelle’s” famous organic garden rotting on the ground and tried to blame it on Republicans.

VOLTAIRE: French philosopher Voltaire (1694-1778) wrote more than 20,000 letters and some 2,000 pamphlets and books. He was also a successful playwright.

As to the first part of the meme, it would be impossible to know all he wrote, much less said. However, his hostility to Christianity was such a pervasive part of his life that he ended every letter to friends with “Ecrasez l’infame” (“Crush the infamy” – i.e., the Christian religion). And in 1764 he wrote, “The Bible. That is what fools have written, what imbeciles commend, what rogues teach and young children are made to learn by heart” and “We are living in the twilight of Christianity.” (Voltaire, Philosophical Dictionary, 1764).

As to the second part of the meme, Voltaire died in Paris, so it’s no stretch to think the second part of the meme is also true. Sixteen years after his death, a Bible publisher in Ferney, France, had obtained and was using not only the printing presses Voltaire had used, but also the paper he had made. Also documented is that, 58 years after his death, Voltaire’s former home in Geneva, Switzerland, was being used to store Bibles and Gospel tracts belonging to the local Evangelical Society.

MEDIA BIAS: Funny thing how headlines about Democrat criminals don’t feature their political affiliations.

They have been indicted for beating their 15 year old daughter. If true, the details (which include punching the kid in the face and hitting her in the head with a broom until she lost consciousness) are appalling. Yet, somehow, ABC News did not feel it necessary to mention their political affiliation until paragraph 10 of the story.

OPRAH: LIVE [11:58] – Why should we care what the coastal elites think? A middle class couple asked Kamala directly, “What would you do the make life affordable for people like us?” Kamala isn’t saying it out loud, but she is more of a Leftist than Biden, so we can be sure her real economic plans are more of what she and Biden have been doing – i.e., increasing regulations, decreasing energy production, reducing tariffs, and increasing taxes.

Trump has been very clear about his plans – i.e., reducing regulations, increasing energy production, boosting tariffs, and cutting taxes. All of these will bring down inflation and allow businesses to create new jobs. I think it’s a no-brainer, which says a lot about people who think Kamala will somehow fix what her administration has done to us.

CASTR-UDEAU: [11:20] – The posture and expression of the guy in the brown jacket at 5:00 is hysterical.

CATHOLIC: “I don’t have a definitive opinion about the claim that Catholic saint Padre Pio (or some version of him) often existed in two places at once – an alleged miracle called “bilocation.” But per the most popular interpretation of quantum physics, individual atoms can and do exist virtually in many places at once – a phenomenon called ‘superposition.’” – Michael Guillén, Phd

MOST DANGEROUS JOB: Tree trimming is traditionally listed as the #1 most dangerous job in the United States with an average on-the-job death rate of 80 per year. There are about 80,000 tree trimming businesses in the U.S., with estimates of total active work force ranging between 52,000 and 289,000. The death rate is somewhere in the .04% range.

But in reality, the most dangerous job is POTUS. In all of U.S. history, there have only been 46 of them. Four have been killed, making the death rate approximately 8% … about 200 times that of tree trimmers.

TEAMSTERS: Check out what Harris has done to alienate members of the Teamsters Union! For 30 years, they’ve endorsed the Democrat candidate for president. This time, their first poll of members voted 60% Trump vs. 34% Harris. The second voted 58% Trump vs. 31% Harris. This year, the Teamsters Union is declining to endorse either candidate.

From Napolitan News Service, who sponsored the poll:

The desensitization of some Americans following the second assassination attempt of former President Trump is alarming. Seventeen percent (17%) of voters believe America would have been better off if former President Trump had been killed in last week’s attempted assassination.

That figure includes 28% of Democrats who say that America would have been better off if Trump had been assassinated. Another 24% of Democrats were not sure. Fewer than half (48%) of Democrats could bring themselves to say that America would not be better off if the opposing party’s candidate for president had been assassinated.

Scott Rasmussen, president of RMG Research, said “It is hard to imagine a greater threat to democracy than expressing a desire to have your political opponent murdered.”

Despite two assassination attempts in two months, just over half of all Democrats (51%) don’t see a need to increase Trump’s security detail. Among all voters, 62% think Trump’s security should be increased and 32% disagree.

Forty-nine percent (49%) of Democrats think it’s at least somewhat likely that Trump himself or the Trump campaign was involved with the assassination attempt, with 21% saying it was very likely.

Fifty-two percent (52%) of Republicans think it’s at least somewhat likely that the Democratic Party or the Harris campaign was involved, with 28% saying it’s very likely.

Fake News

The abortion-related death of Amber Nicole Thurman (28) is being blamed on Georgia’s heartbeat abortion law and, of course, on Donald Trump. But it’s a lie. Thurman died because her greedy abortionist couldn’t be bothered to provide quality care.

Shortly after Georgia enacted its heartbeat law, Thurman discovered she was pregnant with twins. She didn’t want them, but was past the deadline. So she drove to North Carolina for a scheduled, surgical abortion. Arriving late for her appointment, the clinic told her they’d given her spot to someone else.

Then, they handed her abortion pills, but neither scheduled a follow up visit nor checked on her progress by phone. She was 9 weeks along. The babies died in utero, but the drugs failed to induce labor, so their little bodies remained inside her body to rot.

She became severely ill and was hospitalized for severe acute sepsis. The hospital administered IV fluids, antibiotics and blood pressure medication for two days before the doctors decided she needed a hysterectomy. She died on the table. There is no evidence her surgery was delayed due to the heartbeat law.

According to FDA statistics, the most common cause of death following the use of mifepristone is sepsis. In many states, women can get the pills in the mail with nothing but a virtual consultation with (“the caring health professionals”) at Planned Parenthood and no establishment of care at a local OB/GYN or hospital.

The Left keeps telling their sheeple that Trump is killing women by denying them medical care for miscarriage. The law prohibits killing unborn babies once their heartbeats can be detected. It certainly doesn’t prohibit removing the remains of dead who have no heartbeats. (Duh.)
