Hard to argue with Cynical Publius on this:
Since Democrats are once again engaged in Kristallnacht-style violence because the electorate rejected their policies, it's time once again for my periodic reminder that all Democrats are fascists.

I love the fact that whenever I point this out, some Democrat invariably…

The creator of the Dilbert comic strip has died at age 68, after a battle with prostate cancer. God rest his soul and comfort his loved ones and many fans.
I loved the Dilbert series; many of the comically idiotic management policies that formed the basis of much of the humor in the strip I would actually see adopted at the agency I worked for (and in the banking industry in which I had previously worked). It even became a kind of game; someone would circulate a Dilbert cartoon, with one or more characters labeled as people at the agency, and the representation was always spot on. I bet JeffS and others here probably had similar experiences.
"The Night They Tried to Kill the Sky".
The most important number in geopolitics right now is not a death toll, a missile count, or a sanctions figure.
It is 1.3 kilobits per second.
That is the bandwidth required to transmit the message that brought eighty-five million Iranians to their windows at exactly 8:00 PM on January 8, 2026. The message was simple: chant together, death to the dictator, wherever you are. It occupied less storage than a single pixel of the videos Starlink was designed to stream. And when Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps activated the most sophisticated electronic warfare campaign ever deployed against a commercial satellite constellation, achieving packet loss rates between thirty and eighty percent across the country, that message got through anyway.

"Philly’s Fake Muslim Sheriff Threatens to Arrest ICE Agents".
To go back to a time before the Philadelphia Sheriff’s Office was consumed by scandal, you’d have to time-travel at least three decades. Ex-Sheriff John Green, the city’s longest-serving sheriff, is now in the midst of his five-year prison sentence for a bribery scheme he led from the office. Green’s successor, Jewell Williams, who lost his reelection bid, has been credibly accused of sexual harassment multiple times — in lawsuits that cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands in settlements. Now, Sheriff Rochelle Bilal is accused by three staffers of ignoring sexual harassment claims, asking employees to break the law, financial impropriety, and retaliation against employees who spoke up.
So, it looks like Sheriff Rochelle Bilal is following in the great tradition of those other heroic Philadelphia sheriffs that have gone before. And I suppose the denizens of the City of Brotherly Love will keep putting over-privileged, entitled, idiotic bullies in office as long as they continue to be beguiled by politicians who "look like them".
But it is so much more vast than I imagined, that I'm beginning to think the Democrat Party should be banned: "The Democrats Last Rodeo".
Chrump, Chrump Chrump. . . . He’s come to occupy the Left’s minds like an infestation of weevils chawing away the ligaments of civilized society. But, of course, the whole wicked, Cluster-B, anomie-driven, insurrectionist extravaganza is a made-for-video production bought and paid for by a tiny coterie of super-wealthy megalomaniacs untouched by consequence — George and Alex Soros (The Open Society Foundations), Shanghai-based American Neville Roy Singham (Codepink and more), Reid Hoffman (funder of Trump prosecutions and more), Lauren Powell Jobs (The Atlantic and the Emerson Collective), Hansjorg Wyss (Berger Action Fund), Bill Gates (of course). . . .
Their main client in all this mischief is the Democratic Party, and the Democratic Party’s chief motivation, its raison d’être going on at least ten years now, has been to hide its multifarious crimes, its vast racketeering operations now garishly on display in the state of Minnesota, where the grift just went too far and was done right in America’s face.
Michael Walsh's observation from probably 20 years ago is more valid than ever: The Democrats are a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.
