Begin your listening and viewing at 56:00 to begin to understand what kind of person Tucker Carlson really is.
Honestly, this man called the Israeli government because some Jews in America criticized him. I need to check my Shin Beit and Mossad back channel comms to see if maybe I hurt little Tucker’s feelings,

Jenine Pirro as interim DC U.S. Attorney?
I’m not sure how much more I can take. My sides hurt, no wait, my whole body hurts from laughing.
Did y’all catch this today?
Trump taps Fox News’ Judge Jeanine Pirro as interim US Attorney in DC, ‘The Five’ co-host exits network.
President Donald Trump has tapped “The Five” co-host Judge Jeanine Pirro to be the interim U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C.
“I am pleased to announce that Judge Jeanine Pirro will be appointed interim United States Attorney for the District of Columbia,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social on Thursday. “Jeanine is incredibly well qualified for this position, and is considered one of the Top District Attorneys in the History of the State of New York. She is in a class by herself. Congratulations Jeanine!”
Pirro has left Fox News Channel and a rotation of Fox News personalities will fill her seat on “The Five” until a new co-host is named.

That’s great! Tonight I texted my kids and told them to start the rumor that Trump got us a Pope! Then watch the Libtards heads Aspolde!
I’m getting a Latin reprieve tonight. Our class is pretty small now, and one of the guys has an issue that would take a half hour to resolve before he could join the class; I still have a lot of packing and prepping to do; and Magister was going to have to cut the class short because he has an early day at NASA tomorrow….therefore, we had a short conversation about the guy at the Vatican instead.
Basically, Pope Leo XIV is a mixed bag, and we’re hopeful that he’s more friendly to the Latin branch of the Church. From what we can tell, he’s at least relatively friendly to the Traditional Latin Mass, so maybe he’ll cancel that awful moto proprio that pachapapa instituted, trying to kill the Latin mass. It would be wise for him to do so, since the lion’s share of priests are coming from the more Traditional parishes. And that’s where most of the growth in the Church is coming from, too. Folks want substance to their spiritual meals, and the novus ordo is like eating meringue for dinner. Once I started going to the TLM I realized what I’d been missing. About 98% of the masses said today are novus ordo, since it was instituted at Vatican II. The TLM masses are bursting at the seams in a lot of parishes – well, those that have them, anyway. I told Hubby that after attending the TLM, going to a NO mass is like drinking weak Kool-Aid(tm).
So, magister and my classmates are guardedly excited about this guy. Here’s hoping the dark forces that I’m sure are working against him fail. There’s a lot of folks that don’t want change and/or don’t want their failings and evildoings brought to light. Deep Church is like Deep State. I don’t know that Leo has the spinal fortitude to take it all on, but even a little bit would help a lot of Catholics rest easier at night.
I still sleep in these.
Brother Phil at a really early age. He was so cute.

I took my little daughter and her friend out there 30 years ago. As an adult, I was bored to death. For the kids, it was a novelty. My daughter never asked to go back again and I would not have gone anyway.
Re: Texpat 4:53p
Just in case anyone forgot who journalist Daniel Pearl was:
A few days after his disappearance, Pearl’s captors released a video in which he is recorded condemning American foreign policy and repeatedly telling the camera that he and his family are Jewish and have visited Israel, following which his throat is slit and his head severed from his body.[4][5] Before killing Pearl, the captors had issued an ultimatum to the United States government, namely including the demands that all Pakistani terrorists be freed from American prisons and that the United States move forward with a halted shipment of F-16s for the Pakistani government.

He’s a national treasure.
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett says she doesn’t have to explain why her family has been cashing their dead grandmother’s Social Security checks since 2004.
proving once again that fraud is an attribute for politicians.
fraud for me but not for thee.
they’re all criminals.
the fraudster senate republicant’s showed us again why they’re totally worthless with the Ed Martin non-confirmation.
merrick the alligator gar was a yea but Martin a nay.
Day 109 and house republicant’s are still awol and totally worthless.
I think bad toupee, former phony preacher, sinator lankford and phony preacher house speaker Johnson went to the same seminary.
The shyster preachers seminary.
You name it and and they stick their hands in your pocket and claim it.

Sometimes it takes awhile for justice to be done.
Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch:
India’s Operation Sindoor has not only struck at the heart of Pakistan’s terror infrastructure but also delivered what many see as long-overdue justice for American-Jewish journalist Daniel Pearl.
News18, citing sources, has reported that Indian airstrikes have eliminated Abdul Rauf Azhar, operational chief of Jaish-e-Mohammed and a central conspirator in Pearl’s 2002 kidnapping and murder.
Rauf Azhar, younger brother of JeM founder Masood Azhar, was also the mastermind behind the 1999 IC-814 hijacking, which resulted in the release of Al-Qaeda operative Omar Saeed Sheikh. Sheikh would later go on to abduct and behead Daniel Pearl, a reporter with The Wall Street Journal, in a brutal execution that shocked the world.
On Wednesday, Indian forces executed a precision operation striking nine terrorist locations across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. The Bahawalpur strike, which targeted JeM’s Markaz Subhan Allah complex, reportedly killed Azhar and 10 members of Masood Azhar’s family, including his sister and brother-in-law. The JeM chief later issued a statement confirming these deaths.
WHOA !
“Our family business is our family business.”
Sure. Until your family business is defrauding the taxpayer,
DOGE has already fixed the problem and promised to claw back as much as possible.
OK AG Pam Blondie: INDICT AND THROW THE BOOK AT HER! No one is above the law!
The only people qualified to do a claw-back work for the United States Department Of Justice. There should already be jack-booted government thugs gently serving search warrants right now.
A quick drive-by, I’m not paying attention and haven’t seen any news but I hear we have a Pope, from Chicago USA, so is he any good? Will he adopt the anti God left like the last Pope did? Not to be rude just asking. Also since the US of A is a fairly new country in the scheme of things is this the first Pope from the US? Forgive my stupidity but I’m not up on the Catholic Church.
Okay, I have a LOT to do before I head out for my vacation/wedding anniversary trip that starts tomorrow morning….
There are clues this Pope Leo XVI is left of center. How much ? We will see.
Pope Leo XIII was a conservative and prolific writer and anti-Marxist, anti-atheism pontiff. Interesting guy who lived from 1810 to 1924 1903. He was 14 years old when Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died and then he lived through to the 20th century. Think of the history he saw.
By the way, for those who may be curious: this is the short version of the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, the one most people refer to and pray. There’s a longer version that is reserved for the exclusive use of the clergy during certain rituals.
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
I pray this one. A lot. Quite often. I make the St. Michael chaplets. Like I said, he’s pretty bada$$ as a saint. I want him in my corner.
Indeed, St. Michael the Archangel is a good one to have at your side.
Mr. C. has a discussion of the delay in releasing the Epstein files:
… I find corporate media’s newfound curiosity and criticism to be completely inauthentic. Where was all this investigatory interest during the Biden years, when the Epstein files were buried in concrete under the FBI’s swimming pool?
All I know for sure is that the Trump Team knows full well what we really want to see, which is justice. Unlike corporate media, both Bondi and Kash Patel spent years criticizing the Biden Administration’s inaction. They know. But it is far too early to conclude that Trump’s people are now part of the cover-up.
If charges were to be brought against some of the world’s most politically powerful people, those cases must be airtight. Airtight cases don’t appear overnight.
Or, it could be strategic. World leaders – did they attend Epstein’s island? What will they be willing to trade to keep their names private? And when are those midterms?
My point is not to defend any action or inaction from Trump’s DOJ. Rather, I’m simply pointing out that the situation is a hopelessly complicated plate of competing incentive spaghetti. We don’t know, and they can’t tell us, everything that is involved in the investigations.
But expecting some kind of frantic, poorly thought-through dump of the FBI’s Epstein files is naive at best.
Not everyone will agree with me. But I suggest we remain patient.
There are those who demand the red meat, right now. RIGHT NOW! But it may be that Trump wants to find the right recipe, cook the meat properly, and then bring it out with full presentation at the right time.
But the impatient red meat eaters will not wait quietly. Frankly, I’d rather be in the camp that thinks this is being handled in order to get the most out of the situation. Those lists and info have been around for years; waiting a little longer to get the best outcome isn’t a problem for me.
Mr. C. has this follow-up question about the previous C&C post:
As a police officer and convicted sex offender, Officer Barnhill knew exactly what would happen if he was caught re-offending. But he (allegedly) did it anyway. Who cleared him for supervised release? And why was he still in a position to exploit more victims? How did the system fail?
Why did he reoffend?
If some offenders are neurologically or psychologically incapable of resisting their urges, should we stop pretending they’re “rehabilitable,” and instead prioritize their permanent removal from society? For their own protection as well as to protect society’s most vulnerable?
But a bunch of child predators aren’t winning:
Yesterday, the Hill ran a very encouraging story headlined, “200+ alleged child predators arrested in FBI operation, officials say.”
More of this, please!
Two of the arrested were police officers. In Minneapolis, Jeremy Francis Plonky, a state trooper and former Army reservist, was arrested for producing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) while in uniform. In Washington, D.C., Officer Lynwood Barnhill of the Metropolitan Police Department, already a convicted sex offender, was arrested again for exploiting more children while on supervised release.
Remember yesterday’s post about the 764 group and other similar dangers?
AG Bondi had strong warnings for parents:
“Parents—this is serious. Your child has no right to privacy on the internet. None. You must monitor what your kids are doing—whether they’re gaming, on social media, or using other websites. Online predators can find them anywhere. I always say: it goes from instant message to instant nightmare.
Predators pretend to be children. They manipulate kids into sending explicit pictures, then sometimes try to blackmail them. The suicide rate among teens aged 14 to 17 has increased as a result of this. Teens are being manipulated and abused online by child predators.”
Bondi stated clearly that sexual predators have a limited “life span” in the public sphere. She fully intends to hunt them down and lock them away.
As opposed to the last admin, full of folks that shuttled little kids to “sponsors” who quickly transitioned them into sex toys for sickos.
As reported here yesterday:
In more great news, yesterday’s Wall Street Journal ran a story headlined, “Trump Picks a ‘MAHA’ Movement Leader for Surgeon General.” The UK Independent’s headline sneered, “Trump picks conspiracy theorist ‘wellness influencer’ Casey Means with no medical license to replace Fox contributor as Surgeon General.”
Of course the “no medical license” has to be emphasized. As long as she’s not prescribing meds or cutting folks, I think she has the smarts to learn the job. Because it’s a PR job, not a medical job, after all.
… The Surgeon General issues ‘public health advisories’ and publishes official reports, with well-known examples including 1964’s stop smoking campaign, or 2021’s focus on youth mental health (which obviously failed badly).
These reports often shift public opinion, which in turn shifts political will— making the Surgeon General a soft power health policy weapon. Surgeon General findings are often cited in Congressional hearings, used to justify funding, or incorporated into proposed bills. It’s like a federal think tank with a badge and a podium.
I didn’t know this: the previous choice, Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, got her MD from an American university on St. Maarten, and she is Mike Waltz’s SIL. She was also pro-jab and friendly to the sexually confused folks.
How the heck did SHE make the short list?! Trump finally listened to the pressure and replaced her with Casey Means: “an anti-elite and a long-time, pro-natural-health jab adversary.”
Dr. Casey Means is a health-freedom unicorn. She’s a well-liked ‘influencer’ and a Stanford-trained MD who defected from the pharmaceutical-industrial complex and now speaks fluent common sense….
Dr. Means’ 2024 book “Good Energy” proposed that mitochondrial dysfunction, caused by processed foods, toxins, sugar, and chronic stress, is at the root of nearly every chronic disease.
She has her M.D. but never completed her residency – therefore the “experts” don’t consider her a “real” doctor. Never mind how Jill Biden was touted as a doctor by certain ig’nant folks. “Means is an anti-expert who thinks health experts are full of pharma-funded balderdash.” She focuses on stuff like nutrition and environment, holistic medicine, instead of depending on chemicals to manage health.
I like her already. As does the MAHA faction. More winning.
The C&C starts with a warning of a narrative shift on tariffs. Y’know, because the “experts” on the left were wrong. Again. Bigly.
By all appearances, this op-ed suggests we can plant our farewell kisses on the media’s forecasts of Trump-tariff doom. “Armageddon,” author Gerard Baker parsimoniously conceded, “has been deferred.” The market-crashing Great Depression 2.0 that was predicted by “almost all economists and by even more non-economists, has so far failed to materialize.”
Imagine that.
/snip
Generously including himself, and coining an awkward climate-change reference, he rhetorically asked, “Have we misjudged the impact of the Trumpian disruption? Could the effect be less that of a devastating weather event and more a change in the climate?”
In other words, it’s becoming undeniable that all the anguished experts’ economic predictions are about to be proven categorically wrong.
But Baker claims it was just luck that Trump didn’t crash the worlds’ economies. Yeah, keep telling yourself that. Oh, and the populists are to blame – those who don’t like the global cabal are making the tariffs work!
In other words, discontented non-elites (that’s us) demanded populist change, ignored our experts, and so we got Trump tariffs. What the experts somehow missed, according to Baker, was the public’s ravenous appetite for eating globalism alive and spitting it out in bloody chunks. “If we see deglobalization not as a catastrophic act of self-harm but as a choice—even a rational one,” Baker suggested in a moment of rare generosity, “we can position ourselves better to deal with its consequences.”
“We,” apparently, referring to globalists like himself and the rest of the editorial staff and its squadrons of cherry-picked experts. They need to re-position themselves to avoid getting run over on the populist freeway, like cute little reptiles in the game Frogger.
So, yeah, they’re shifting position so they themselves don’t look like idiots.
Too late.
I really, really, *really* need to go to my happy place now….
Good morning, C&C, it’s Thursday! I am hotel-blogging again. Your traveling roundup today includes plenty of good news: corporate media signals Trump’s tariffs are working despite all the expert advice to the contrary; first Trump tariff trade deal pending announcement this morning; MAHA scores huge win with Trump’s replacement Surgeon General nomination; FBI begins pedophile arrests in sweeping natiowide sting operation; and corporate media dunks on Trump’s Epstein investigations.
This isn’t good news. This guy is a Frankie the Sequel. We real Catholics are hoping for a conversion.
American? Possible suck-up to Trump because of the funding issue for trafficking services rendered.
One of the podcasters I was listening to said that this made him sick. Pope Leo XIII is one of his favorites. It was Leo XIII who had the vision of Satan asking God for 100 years to try to destroy the Church. He was kneeling before the Sacrament after celebrating mass, in prayer, when he heard the conversation. Witnesses say he went pale and immediately disappeared into his apartments, later to return with Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel.
And today is the feast day of the Apparition of St. Michael. I like St. Michael. A lot. Anyone who can kick Satan’s butt is someone I want to be friends with.
Interesting coincidence. For those who don’t know, St. Michael is an archangel, the highest tier of the lowest choir of angels, so he didn’t even rank up there with seraphim and cherubim – but he was the one who kicked Lucifer out of Heaven when Lucifer (aka, “Satan”) when Lucifer refused to cooperate with God’s plan for mankind. That sin of pride! Lucifer managed to drag a third of the angels with him in his hasty departure.
Michael is translated as “Who is like God?” – supposedly what St. Michael said when he confronted Lucifer. In other words, “Who are you to presume you know better than your Creator?”
I shall continue to pray daily for my Church, in hopes that this Pope has his own confrontation with the Lord and completes his own conversion. Otherwise, the Passion of my Church will continue.
Il Papa
Leo 14th
He’s only 69. (Like me!)
Liable to be around for a while.
And that is not good news, unless he changes his liberalism.
The new pope is an American.
Hopefully the new pope will be the anti Frankie, the Catholics deserve much better. Having a true conservative in the office would be Popecetic.
Oilfield Rando on X:
The Postal Workers Union endorses democrats in every election and we still allow them to transport ballots.
It’s insanity. End mail ballots.
We have yellow smoke.
YELLOW SMOKE?
Yeah yellow smoke,,,,,, there is going ot be a small delay….. the new Pope has got to pee.
A quote from the excellent article linked at. my 7:05 AM comment. It’s packed with very interesting info including some good things emanating from the United Nations….seriously.
There were many hints that the headlines about famine in Gaza last year weren’t quite right. On social media in March 2024, one food importer showcased a tractor trailer full of frozen chicken, and a chef in Rafah advertised his plates of chicken and rice. One Gaza City restaurant showed off its racks of stuffed rotisserie chickens about two weeks after Power’s testimony.
Journalists can peruse a social media archive of life in Gaza compiled by Jacqui Peleg, an Israeli-British citizen who speaks Arabic and has been scraping YouTube, Telegram, TikTok, and other sites since 2018.
Posting on X under the name Imshin, Peleg has gained nearly 80,000 followers who are curious about the conflict’s complexities and skeptical of media narratives. After watching Gazans posting their new BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes on Instagram for years, the opening of an upscale car dealership in August 2023 didn’t surprise her. “I just watch Gazans talk to each other,” she told me. “I’m not a journalist. I’m just watching and sharing.”
BSue is upset. Der Papst pre-empted her Jeopardy.
Wee have white smoke
White smoke in 2 days. No record but well within my prognostication.
white smoke???
😀
This is funny!
The Florida Highway Patrol just added a 2023 Corvette C8 Stingray to its fleet. They didn’t use state funds or taxpayer money. It came straight from a drug bust. 😀
I believe this is called Civil Asset Forfeiture. The people from whom this car was seized do not have to be convicted in court for the state to steal the car. I don’t know about this particular case, but CAS is/has been horribly abused across the country.
I read that last night. We are raising a generation that went learn time management, critical thinking, responsibility, or honesty. Or be able to master their field is study. You sunnyy know what you don’t learn.
I caught some of this yesterday;
Pissed off Kash Patel DESTROYS unhinged Democrat when she accuses him of committing perjury
Madeline Dean needs to fix herself up if she wants to get any dates.
Mornin’ Gang
Taub/Doran. Funnier than the Smothers brothers! 🙂
Really?! The Smother Brothers were NEVER EVER funny at all just stupid.
Not to be rude, just saying. 😉
It doesn’t matter once this Huge Lie is unleashed by the former head of USAID, the infamous, notorious Samantha Power. The international media hackery has no interest in establishing whether what Power said was true.
In 20 years, just four famines have been confirmed by the IPC: Somalia in 2011, South Sudan in 2017 and 2020, and Sudan in 2024. A confirmed famine in Gaza, as Power told Congress was happening, would have been a historic catastrophe and the first to occur outside continental Africa. Power’s statement bolstered claims that Israel was using starvation as a weapon of war, and that the U.S. government was therefore complicit in an alleged war crime.
But there were serious problems with Power’s sensational testimony. Foremost among them: The IPC never declared a famine in Gaza. The report she cited was a projection of possible outcomes, not a conclusive finding. The next month, USAID issued its own analysis alleging that famine was underway, an indictment so serious that it required confirmation from an independent board of global experts known as the Famine Review Committee (FRC).
The FRC, which functions as the IPC’s final authority and quality control check, rebuked the USAID analysis, calling its conclusions insupportable. The failures were stunning.
Regarding TTs 7:58 post about the hamas-hole protesters being held captive in the building they invaded: In my view, the protesters were in desperate need of hickory shampoos. They should arrest all of them and throw the book at them.
/as long as there is no penalty and/or pain the bad behavior will continue.
The state’s turnaround really is miraculous. But the rest of the country isn’t interested.
Painting the Deep South as an embarrassing cultural backwater is one of the last socially acceptable forms of prejudice among elites. It’s not just tolerated—it’s venerated.
Mississippi is probably the top target. I don’t have to tell you why. You know about the poor health outcomes. The poverty. The corruption. The obesity. The Confederacy stuff.
Wikipedia has an entry dedicated to the phrase “Thank God for Mississippi,” because its horrible performance on so many metrics saves other states the embarrassment of finishing last. The term has been used since at least 1945.
This has made it awkward in recent years, as Mississippi has become the fastest-improving school system in the country.
You read that right. Mississippi is taking names.
In 2003, only the District of Columbia had more fourth graders in the lowest achievement level on our national reading test (NAEP) than Mississippi. By 2024, only four states had fewer.
FWIW; Alabama schools have improved dramatically in the last few years and about a week ago the local news reported that Mississippi had moved up to #4 in education for the country.
Great find.
Good morning !
