The Kilt company was in the US - LGBT owned. It was back in 2020. "Members of the group were seen sporting the bright garments at a pro-Trump rally this weekend in Washington DC."

This is the best idea I've ever seen used against violent occupiers. If they are seen beating cartoon characters there will be fking war in the country. Everyone likes cartoon characters no one wants to see THEM hurt.

Alt Text: US military's Arlington Cemetery, white headstones in neat rows, stretching into lightly wooded parkland. The rows going on forever. Foreground, 3 riders, their horses pulling a gun carriage (caisson?) with a flag-wrapped casket. In front of us, before the riders, more headstones.

There is a major Antifa cell here at Arlington Cemetery: tens of thousands of Antifa members in full view, who gave their lives fighting fascism.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

So, @realDonaldTrump has a new Tariff. A better tariff. Bigger. Are we to believe that China is doing (whatever they're really doing) to spite the world? Or to spite that dill in the White House? Oh, and right after this? All these headlines "Stock Market Tumbles!"

"Donald J. Trump O
@realDonaldTrump
It has just been learned that China has taken an extraordinarily aggressive position on Trade in sending an extremely hostile letter to the World, stating that they were going to, effective November 1st, 2025, impose large scale Export Controls on virtually every product they make, and some not even made by them. This affects ALL Countries, without exception, and was obviously a plan devised by them years ago. It is absolutely unheard of in International Trade, and a moral disgrace in dealing with other Nations.

Based on the fact that China has taken this unprecedented position, and speaking only for the U.S.A., and not other Nations who were similarly threatened, starting November 1st, 2025 (or sooner, depending on any further actions or changes taken by China), the United States of America will impose a Tariff of 100% on China, over and above any Tariff that they are currently paying. Also on November 1st, we will impose Export Controls on any and all critical software. It is impossible to believe that China would have taken such an action, but they have, and the rest is History. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"

A neighbor down the hall just moved out yesterday, which means the building will be showing that apartment this month. Prospective neighbors will get to see my Halloween wreath. My hope is that this will scare away anyone I wouldn’t want living nearby anyway.
