The ravings of a Mad King.

America ousted its king 250 years ago.
Not going to allow one now.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning took aim at Mayor Brandon Johnson and Gov. JB Pritzker, writing on social media that both should be jailed for “failing to protect” ICE officers.

Pritzker, Johnson fight back after President Trump says they should be jailed for failing to protect ICE

Gov. JB Pritzker responded Wednesday morning, writing on X, "I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?"

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Jack collaborated with neo-Nazi twins to make a documentary. He was a fan of white supremacist Richard Spencer. He has tweeted 1488, the alphanumeric code for Heil Hitler. He wrote an unreadable anti-antifa book. Last year he wrote a book abt the left called “Unhumans.” That he’s now speaking here…

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

Question: Have you given any more thought to suspending habeas corpus?

Trump: Suspending who?

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

🧵 Trump is criminally invading states under false pretenses. His supporters are trying to instigate violence by dressing as antifa and committing crimes.

In this clip from Portland, Joey Gibson of "Patriot Prayer" and his fiancée, Lindsey Nichols, tried to cause trouble before being forced away.

WaPo editorial board urges the U.S. to hit Russia with cyber offense and maybe some influence or kinetic attacks, lest the text's bully-on-the-playground metaphor grows to Godzilla-size and attacks the townspeople. Was this text checked for personal liberties and free markets promotion?

Just to be absolutely clear:

The President of the United States has absolutely no power to “take away” any right enumerated in the Constitution from any person.

And that is how every single article, blog post, and social media commentary should start when discussing this ludicrous statement.

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

We have a whole new website dedicated to the "burning" question.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

The south launched the Civil War to defend slavery and Trump is launching the reboot based on some dumb antifa b-roll he saw on Fox News.

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.”

The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

This is a real tweet by the Florida AG.

**Alt text:**
A social media post by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier states that, as of October 1st, all Florida airports are closed to any weather modification activities. The post urges people to report violations of the new law at reportfloridaskies.com. Below the message are two airport notices. The first shows Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB) closed to geoengineering and weather modification aircraft except with 48-hour prior permission. The second shows Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) closed to aircraft equipped with weather modification or geoengineering equipment except with 24-hour prior permission.
