Down The Primrose Path

Maybe.

Based on recent reports, it’s unclear. ABC News states a US-proposed peace plan was revised from 28 to 19 points after talks, but Ukraine’s Zelenskyy says no final agreement yet and more work is needed. Other outlets like CBS and Moneycontrol cite US officials claiming Ukraine agreed to terms, with minor details pending. Further developments may clarify.

But Orange Man Bad

The massive propaganda campaign launched by the Liberals has proven to be very successful. They’ve convinced a vast number of Canadians that all of their problems are the fault of President Trump rather than anything else.

Update: JD Vance has just chimed in:

And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.

The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.

“Through the summer of 2020, Crooks’ online rhetoric became increasingly radical and violent.”

NY Post;

Then-FBI Director Chris Wray told Congress after the July 13, 2024, attack [on Trump] that the bureau had found nothing in Crooks’ online history that pointed to a motive or political ideology.

A week later, Wray’s deputy Paul Abbate told Congress that comments posted on one of Crooks’ social media accounts “appear to reflect antisemitic and anti-immigration themes to espouse political violence and are described as extreme in nature.”

Thanks to an enterprising source who uncovered Crooks’ hidden digital footprint, we can see that Abbate misled Congress by omission, because he left out an entire section of Crooks’ online interactions from January to August 2020 when he did an ideological backflip and went from rabidly pro-Trump to rabidly anti-Trump and then went dark, never seeming to post again.

Among the 17 accounts uncovered by our source were ones on YouTube, Snapchat, Venmo, Zelle, GroupMe, Discord, Google Play, Quizlet, Chess.com and Quora.

The online interactions from when Crooks was ages 15 to 17 give us a better understanding of his evolution into an assassin, and invite more questions about what — or who — reversed his ideology.

“The danger Crooks posed was visible for years in public online spaces,” says the source. “His radicalization, violent rhetoric and obsession with political violence were all documented under his real name. The threat wasn’t hidden.”

Oh, and.

Like alleged Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson, Crooks appears to have been interested in “furries” and exploring gender identity.

Update: Tucker Carlson had it first.

Your Moral And Intellectual Superiors

Day of Wreckin’n

It costs £174.50 a year to obtain a BBC license for a color TV. Technological atavists who are bargain-hunting can snag a license for a black and white TV for only £58.50 per year. For the year ending March 2025, the license fee raised £3.8 billion, 65 percent of the Beeb’s total income.

There is growing resentment about the fee. “Some people ask,” said one news report, “why they should be forced to pay for the BBC if they do not use its services.” Good question. However, it now appears that the BBC may need to significantly increase its fees to avoid insolvency.

That’s because Donald Trump is preparing to sue the storied news and entertainment company for between $1 billion and $5 billion. That “B” for “bankrupt.” “I have an obligation to do it,”

Dissension In The Ranks?

If you take a gander at the conversations on Twitter today, Trump’s apparent endorsement of the H1-B visa program in an interview with Laura Ingraham doesn’t seem to be going over so well. My earlier understanding was that there was going to be a $100,000 fee applied to those visas. Does anyone know what’s happening with that?

“This is insane—we are going to lose the mid-terms so badly,” Anthony Sabatini, a vocal pro-Trump county commissioner in Florida with a large online following, wrote on Tuesday on X, where the president’s remarks quickly went viral.

 

When The FBI Does It, That Means That It’s Not Illegal

Daily Wire;

One of the world’s largest banks was notified on Monday morning that its cooperation with the Biden administration’s partisan Arctic Frost probe is now under investigation by Florida’s attorney general, The Daily Wire can first report.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier told JPMorgan Chase in a Monday morning letter reviewed by The Daily Wire that it had “grave concerns” about the bank’s actions relating to Trump Media, the Florida-based company that operates Truth Social.

The investigation was prompted by information released by the Senate Judiciary Committee, which disclosed last month that Special Counsel Jack Smith’s Arctic Frost investigation into Donald Trump had targeted hundreds of Republican individuals and entities with subpoenas.

Is the New Boss Not Altogether Different than the Old Boss?

A lifelong criticism I have of Leftists is that they refuse to criticize their own side … ever.

While the Trump Administration is clearly a whole lot better than the Biden Administration, there is growing concern that not all members of his cabinet are paddling the boat in the same America First direction. I don’t trust most political pundits, because I feel that many of them are compromised in one way or another. But I do trust Taibbi & Kirn, Megyn Kelly and also David Freiheit and Robert Barnes. Yesterday’s episode of the latter podcast made me very depressed. Watch a few minutes of this segment and share your thoughts. Is Barnes wrong with his analysis of Kash Patel and Pam Bondi? If so, please explain why.

The BBC’s director general Tim Davie and head of news Deborah Turness have resigned after criticism that a Panorama documentary misled viewers by editing a speech by Donald Trump.

Davie, in the job for five years, had faced increasing pressure over a series of controversies and accusations of bias that have dogged the public broadcaster.

The Telegraph published details of a leaked internal BBC memo on Monday that suggested the Panorama programme edited two parts of the US president’s speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riot of January 2021.

UK political leaders expressed hope the resignations would lead to change, while Trump welcomed the decision.

Seth Mandel: The BBC’s Threat to British Democracy

More: Four years ago, I gathered all the evidence from an antisemitic attack against a bus full of Jewish teens celebrating Chanukah. I spoke to victims, had Hebrew audio verified and translated by linguistic experts, and presented it to the BBC whose reporters and editors decided to completely invent a falsehood that blamed the Jewish teens.

Stephen Green: Trump Just Gave the Finger (Again!) to the Space Establishment

Space fans, rejoice — President Donald Trump just brought back the one man who might actually save NASA. Here’s the best news since last May, when Trump withdrew his nomination of astronaut/billionaire Jared Isaacman to head up NASA: Trump nominated him again. […]

Long story short, Athena was Isaacman’s plan for cutting costs at NASA and restoring the agency’s “mission-first” culture — and getting us back to the Moon, at a price we can afford and before China does. Needless to say, Athena involved upsetting an awful lot of well-anchored apple carts and taking way some gold-plated iron rice bowls.
