DYSPEPSIA GENERATION

Behold the most ludicrous argument unfolding after President Trump’s latest attempt to deny White House press passes to Trump-loathing reporters. Somehow, the liberal elitists shamelessly claim they represent the entire American people in the briefing room, and not just their own pink-haired audience.

See National “Public” Radio White House reporter Tamara Keith, who told an CNN interviewer about her job: “I’m doing it on behalf of the American people. I’m not doing it for me. Um, and by kicking people out, he’s kicking the American people out of the room. He’s kicking the American people out of the people’s house.” This ignores the many millions of people who voted for Trump – and against all the elitist media noise.

Whether heading into Chicago or leaving it behind on the Stevenson Expressway, commuters are driving past a new billboard campaign from Florida’s top business lobby.

Expanding its multimillion-dollar recruitment campaign into the Midwest, the Florida Chamber of Commerce is launching its next “Free Enterprise” billboard campaign targeting Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker as the Chamber says data shows billions of dollars in income moving from Illinois to Florida.

“The billboards will look very much like the billboard we did in New York, but we’ll have two of them in Chicago, and we’ll be naming Governor Pritzker the runner-up ‘Florida Economic Developer of the Year,’” Florida Chamber President and CEO Mark Wilson exclusively told Fox News Digital.

“This isn’t personal, right? This is about policy. And the person responsible for all of Illinois’s policies is the governor there, just like our governor in Florida has top responsibility for what we do here,” he added. “When we look at how unsafe Chicago is, when we look at the extraordinarily high taxes that we have in Chicago — I’m from there, by the way, and so I have firsthand knowledge on what’s happening in Illinois and what’s happening in Chicago… And all of Illinois is losing people, more businesses are leaving Illinois than are moving to Illinois, and Illinois is losing billions of taxable income. And so the whole state is in a death spiral.”

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) released a document Monday debunking “lies spread by the mainstream media, far-left activists, and sanctuary politicians regarding the shooting of a criminal illegal alien” by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Austin, Texas.

Wilber Rafael Garces Perez, an illegal alien from Venezuela who entered the U.S. during the Biden Administration, was shot Sunday by an ICE officer who tried to arrest him, prompting a hailstorm of anti-ICE media and accusations, prompting DHS to issue a statement correcting the record.

“Sanctuary politicians and the mainstream media have wasted no time in spreading lies about an ICE officer-involved shooting of an illegal alien in Austin, Texas,” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in the statement.

In Part One, we examined whether Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s crackdown on NGOs was having an effect. We now revisit that question, examining the far-left groups and subversion networks involved in mounting a revolution against the U.S.

The National Network on Cuba released a “National Rapid Response Plan” that called for nationwide actions against U.S. bases, ICE, and other federal facilities. Nothing happened. Black Alliance for Peace published an interactive map of U.S. military bases, urging their followers to use the map to find facilities in their communities and “strategize how and where to organize and agitate.” Again, Nothing happened.

The Marxist Neville Roy Singham network, which has become the primary driver of the protest-industrial complex nationwide, also seems to have lost its momentum despite opening up Liberation Centers across the country to organize protests. Despite their deep pockets and extensive infrastructure for mobilization, they also seem to be unable to mobilize large crowds of their comrades as they used to post-October 7th. ANTIFA, which was designated by the Trump administration as a domestic terrorist organization in September of 2025, also appears to be on its back heels and unable to take control of public space in the way they did in Portland during the Summer of Love riots of 2020.

So we must ask ourselves, why?

The network of liberal billionaire Michael Bloomberg appears to have taken a page from the George Soros playbook by backing groups specifically engineered to install radicals in state prosecutors’ offices who conform to his agenda.

The Washington Free Beacon reporter Thomas Catenacci released a damning report September 21 finding that the State Energy and Environmental Impact Center — backed by Bloomberg — quietly shut its doors following mounting congressional scrutiny.

The Center, which was housed at New York University School of Law, was designed specifically to provide “legal, analytic, and communications support, as well as facilitating coordination across multiple offices of state attorneys general” on the climate change boondoggle. As Catenacci noted, the radical group’s “signature initiative involved placing paid, climate-focused ‘fellows’ in Democrat-controlled state attorney general offices nationwide as those offices sued the oil industry and other energy providers.”

I have seen the future, and it works.
~Lincoln Steffens

 When he visited Soviet Russia (the brief precursor state to the Soviet Union) in 1919, Lincoln Steffens was housed in a newly confiscated palace, with a retinue of servants to wait on him. Steffens, an American investigative journalist, had crafted the famous quote shown above before he had even arrived in Russia, and nothing about the subsequent experience softened his conviction. He concluded that “the destructive phase of the revolution in Russia is over.” But the Red Terror was already underway as Steffens wrote, and the great famine was coming. After that, Stalin would ascend. Then the truly destructive phase would begin.

There has always been a certain type of Westerner easily seduced by the ability of Communist regimes to give impressive displays. He asks no questions; he sees only what they want him to see. In his bewitchment, he develops a hazy conviction that their political system must be superior. Today, for complex and sometimes counterintuitive reasons, his type appears to be multiplying.

Earlier this month, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger was finally clear about her permissive stance on boys in girls sports and bathrooms. During her campaign, though, she ran from a reporter and offered word salad answers whenever the issue came up.

On Sept. 8, from the stage at Virginia’s Pridefest in Richmond, Spanberger told the crowd she’d been moved to tears by a transgender-identifying child’s story and wanted LGBTQ+ Virginians to know they have a governor who values them.

And to that end, on July 30, six weeks before her emotional Pridefest remarks, she had quietly killed a Virginia Board of Health rulemaking process that would have barred males from competing in girls sports and using girls’ locker rooms and bathrooms.

There’s a great deal of commentary around the blogosphere on this article by Nikole Hannah-Jones in The New York Times Magazine. You remember NHJ, don’t you? She was the mind behind the 1619 Project, the duplicitous Times rewriting of the American founding to be all about slavery.

This time NHJ is in a confessional mood. I haven’t read all of the article because it’s behind a paywall, but there are copious excerpts at Ace’s: see this. Here are some samples, which should give you the general idea. The title is “In Fighting For Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own?”.

…

Leftist race activists are often accused of compromising by sending their own children to elite private schools in order to protect them from a terrible public school system, opening the activists to accusations of hypocrisy. NHJ made a very different decision, which was to sacrifice her own child’s education in order to avoid such charges. When her daughter realized what had happened, she was angry – rightfully so, I think.

Last week, Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed was the beneficiary of a massive fundraiser at the home of media producer Jeffrey Soros, yes, George’s nephew.

While a Soros raising money for a Democrat isn’t news—Uncle George and Cousin Alex have already contributed $102.8 million to races in 2026—it’s indicative of the hypocrisy of the Left.

El-Sayed has been outspoken in his aim of “getting money out of politics” while being bankrolled by his party’s “Daddy Warbucks.” Expensive campaigns can be a barrier for many candidates, but there are substantive and constitutional fixes beyond a blatant assault on the First Amendment (as per the Supreme Court), but for our purposes today, it leads us to Virginia’s constitutional amendments on the November ballot.

You’ve probably never heard of Gaza photojournalist Motaz Azaiza, a Nobel Peace Prize nominee, and are unaware of an interview he gave earlier this month, where he criticized the Gaza media and Hamas, and at the same time, admitted not publishing photos showing Israeli captives being beaten in Gaza.  Aside from The Jerusalem Post and MEMRI’s coverage, you’d be hard pressed to find it anywhere else, certainly not prominently in our liberal media.

Azaiza gave the interview to Ahmed Biqui on the podcast Taqarrab, Azaiza.

According to the Post, “Azaiza said he filmed Israeli hostages being beaten by a Gazan mob on October 7 2023, but chose not to publish the footage because he feared it could put the Palestinians involved at risk. “I saw the vehicle of the Al-Qassam Brigades, and there were Israeli captives there, people got out, watched, beat them, hit them, and I followed them and filmed. But I did not publish those videos. Why? Because I did not want to ruin the lives of the people who were filmed.”

Azaiza said he understood that if he revealed the faces of those beating the Israelis, eventually Israel would eliminate each one, and added, “”I did not want to be responsible, even indirectly, for the deaths of those people in exchange for a few likes and views online.”

Of course Israel has been taking out October 7th leaders and participants one by one for many months now, but a journalist hiding the truth to protect terrorist thugs is exactly the problem that coverage of Israel and Gaza has been suffering for decades. And Azaiza described a much wider journalistic coverup in Gaza

At the end of July a mob of mostly military-age young men invaded the Spanish enclave of Ceuta on the coast of North Africa. Ceuta is made up of a single city situated on a peninsula that juts out from Morocco into the Mediterranean. The invaders swam around the sea barriers and broke through parts of the fence to gain access to Spanish territory, with hopes of being able to cross the sea to the European continent.

There are some indications that the invasion was enabled and coordinated by Moroccan authorities. Most of the invaders were not Moroccans, but from further south in Africa, or from other parts of the Middle East.

An estimated 70,000 to 80,000 “migrants” entered Ceuta. The Spanish government said that most of them have returned to Morocco, but somewhere between 10,000 and 20,000 are thought to have remained in Ceuta, residing in shantytowns on the beach, or camping out in parks and empty buildings. Crime has become rampant, and sexual assaults against women have risen dramatically. Most of the rape victims are from the unfortunate minority of female migrants among the invaders, but a significant number of local Spanish women and girls have also been attacked.

To be clear, they’re American citizens, not American kids. They’ll be Chinese, not American, except in the artificial legal sense.

Wealthy Chinese couples are implanting their embryos into American women so their children can be born as US citizens, The Post has learned.

The service is provided by a surrogacy agency, Patriot Conceptions, which operates between China and the US and has been accused of hiding details of who the biological parents are from surrogates.

Women who carry babies for the agency are recruited informally through social media and collect between $60,000 and $120,000 dollars for their services.

That’s a lot of money to pay to guarantee that your children will be liable for U.S. taxes on their incomes no matter where they might actually live. Of course, that depends on the U.S. government being conscientious about collecting those taxes, and a good case could be made that “U.S. government” and “conscientious” don’t belong in the same sentence.

John Derbyshire was fond of saying that there wasn’t anything wrong with New York City that about a million ethnic Chinese wouldn’t fix, and, looking at the Chinese in Hong Kong and Singapore, I can’t say he’s wrong. I must say that, since we don’t appear to have any choice in the matter, I’d rather have rich Chinese kids as American citizens than poor Mexican or African kids.

When Codie Sanchez looks back on her earliest social media content, she does what many of us do when examining our internet past: She cringes.

“Some of the first videos we made, I’m like, My God. There’s money floating around in the air behind me, it makes me want to die,” Sanchez says. “But like any new business owner, you get talked into things that aren’t you.”

Despite those questionable early choices, Sanchez has since become an internet force. She’s collected a combined 15 million social media followers and authored the best-selling book Main Street Millionaire, largely by promoting the same message: You, too, can become an entrepreneur — and the path to success goes through small business ownership. It’s an insight drawn from her own background, which her fans know well: Sanchez began her career in finance, then started buying what she calls “boring businesses” like laundromats, car washes, and roofing companies. She realized that these are overlooked assets, because they already have established consumer bases, are straightforward to operate, and are surprisingly easy to acquire, because their owners are often aging out and have nobody else to sell the business to.

Cody Sanchez is a national treasure. Unfortunately, being an entrepreneur requires a certain attitude toward risk and hard work that very few people possess.

Golden published a glowing review of Lawler and their history of working together on bipartisan legislation in Congress. Since he is retiring this year and not seeking reelection, Golden is a free agent and does not have to fear party resentment.

“The Congress we get is the one we elect, and the country needs fewer members who treat the job as a stage and more who treat it as work,” Golden wrote in Lohud. “In New York’s Hudson Valley this fall, that is the choice on the ballot.”

Establishment Democrats have spent millions on this race, supporting Cait Conley to unseat Lawler. The endorsement could have undercut everything spent on Conley.

A parental rights group is accusing the nation’s largest school counselors association of repackaging critical race theory and queer theory under the banner of “neurodiversity” and “neuro-affirming counseling.”

“‘Neuro-affirming counseling’ is a dishonest rebranding designed to capture every student under an unchallengeable, non-medical umbrella,” Courage Is a Habit President Alvin Lui told the Daily Signal. “It’s the new operational vehicle for critical race theory and queer theory in K-12 schools.”

We’re accustomed to reading about suicide bombings carried out by Islamic “extremists” against infidel targets — churches, synagogues, marketplaces, and anywhere else where the unbelievers gather in large numbers. However, Muslims slaughter other Muslims en masse all the time, even (or especially) at mosques. And such attacks are always religiously justified by the perpetrators, using Islamic law and citing the Koran and hadith in support.

A recent case in point was Friday’s attack on a mosque in the city of Kohat in Pakistan. Kohat is in the northwestern part of Pakistan. The province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is usually described as “restive” in the Western press, which means it is riddled with groups of violent zealots, some of whom have an affinity for or an alliance with the Taliban in Afghanistan.

The attack occurred during Friday prayers (when else?) at the mosque, which is part of a complex that includes a police station. A suicide bomber and a number of armed mujahideen stormed and occupied the complex, killing twenty-three people (most of them police officers) before they themselves were killed.

I don’t know what the specific theological justification for the attack was, but I’m sure the martyrs for Allah had one. Perhaps the imam at the mosque preached ridda (blasphemy). Or maybe the police and the mosque attendees were guilty of kufr (unbelief, which is what the filthy kuffar are guilty of). Or maybe they were mushrikun, those who commit the sin of shirk (which is usually translated as “polytheism”, but has a somewhat more nuanced meaning: the association of Allah with other gods — Christians, for example, are mushrikun, due to their adherence to the doctrine of the Trinity). And there are dozens of other Arabic terms for sins that are grievous in the eyes of Allah and are punishable by death.

It wasn’t a Sunni-vs.-Shi’ite conflict, however, since the terrorist group Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) that claimed responsibility for the attack is Sunni, like the Taliban and the vast majority of Muslims in Pakistan, including the worshippers at the mosque in Kohat.

So what was the issue for the shahideen who devastated the mosque and massacred all those cops?

My guess is that the issue was the secular nature of the central government in Pakistan, which is why the police were targeted. Full-bore Islamic zealots consider anything less than a full-sharia regime like the Taliban or the Islamic State to be an affront to Allah and deserving of death.

When a religion rewards violence, then violence will follow wherever that religion goes.

Last night I posted the testimony given by Dr. Crystal Luchkiw at the Allison Inquiry on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, which was investigating the adverse consequences reported by people who received one or more of the COVID-19 “vaccines”.

After her testimony, Vlad interviewed Dr. Luchkiw outside the venue. He and the doctor agreed that what we have been seeing in Canada (and much of the rest of the West) is the ascendancy of the collective at the expense of individual rights. It is, in fact, the final victory of the Revolution, almost a hundred years after the Long March Through the Institutions began.

The result is a political structure that is socialist in nature, but not according to the old Soviet model. What has emerged in the 21^st century is a syndicalist model in which the state and large corporations have engineered a de facto merger. Although the corporations are the more powerful half of the arrangement, and can dictate terms to nominally sovereign governments, the combination may viewed as operationally the same as an all-powerful fascist State.

Or, in Benito Mussolini’s famous formulation:

“Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”

The power of that State depends upon the maintenance of the Narrative. Unless the populace universally believes in the Narrative (or pretends to believe in it), State control may be at risk.

California entrepreneur Eric Schiffer warned that the state’s proposed billionaire wealth tax could drive some of its most successful business leaders out of California, predicting a “giant sucking sound” of entrepreneurs heading for the exits if voters approve the measure.

Schiffer, chairman of family office Patriarch and CEO of Reputation Management Consultants, told FOX Business that he works with several billionaire clients, including some in California, and said many are unhappy about the proposal.

“I think the impact of this passing in California is a giant sucking sound of all of these entrepreneurs being sucked out of California because they’re just not going to want to stay,” Schiffer said.

“Giant sucking sound” is California in a nutshell.

Caribbean countries will teach children to be activists so they can claim reparations from Britain for generations.

Mia Mottley, the prime minister of Barbados, has hosted a conference over the past week to discuss strategies for obtaining compensation for slavery.

Government-backed experts have devised an “action plan”, which includes training children to continue the dispute with former colonial powers for decades to come.

It has been recommended that nations seeking reparations create and fund “institutional youth leadership” training to ensure a “succession” of advocates within the reparation movement.

No mention of reparations from the Arab world, who enslaved more Africans than were brought across the Atlantic.

No mention of reparations from West African nations like Ghana, who actually enslaved their ancestors and sold them to whoever would buy. In fact, Ghana is pushing for its own brand of ‘reparations’.
