At his kids’ school, a woman (here legally) was ripped out of her car by ICE in the *school drop off line* last week for the crime of being brown. The school had to have a town hall about it. His wife teared up just talking about it. People are being traumatized and they are also fucking pissed.

Yes, it's weird that Peter Thiel can't stop talking up the Antichrist.

But look on the bright side—he's also the guy who:

-Gave @jd-vance-1.bsky.social his first VC job
-Funded Vance's firm
-Bought his Senate seat
-Got him the VP slot

Have a nice day!

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Please reach out if you have more info about Joseph William Behling of Manchester NH, previously of Hooksett NH! Allegedly “Marcus NH” of Patriot Front & the New England Active Club, and involved in Patriot Front’s efforts to recruit teens, Behling is potentially a serviceman in the US Navy.

A triptych of images of various points in Joseph Behling of Manchester NH's life. The first is him at his Londonderry High School Class of 2021 graduation ceremony. He wears: a blue graduation gown and cap; a corded sash in red, white, and blue; a medal with a red, white, and blue ribbon with several pins attached; and half-frame glasses. He holds his graduation certificate in its shut holder. He grins, blithely. The second is from a Patriot Front photo op, taken in front of a concrete wall in a wooded area somewhere in or around Manchester NH, during December 2022. A man who is allegedly Joseph Behling holds his right fist to his heart, and conceals his face with a white gaiters and tan baseball cap with a black variant of the Vermont Republic flag. He also wears what appears to be a Colombia Ascender softshell jacket, khaki pants, and glasses. The wall behind him has been vandalized with graffiti, of which a Patriot Front fasces symbol is somewhat visible. The third is allegedly of Behling during Patriot Front's standout against SatanCon in Boston MA during April 2023. A white man of average build, he wears a white gaiter that covers the lower half of his face, including his nose, black aviators, a tan baseball cap with a Patriot Front flag patch on the front, and a navy blue zip-up jacket with a hood. The right sleeve has a pair of patches: the Christian identity flag, and an Appeal to Heaven flag. His right arm is extended outward, and he clutches a cross (with a figure of Jesus crucified upon it) as if attempting to ward something off.

Trump is using national security as an excuse to impose new tariffs on kitchen cabinets.

This is what happens when “damage to national security” has no clear definition.

It leads to overclassification and more government secrets.

Paul Ingrassia is now threatening to sue Politico:

“This vexatious political attack masquerading as "journalism" is defamatory and will be addressed in forthcoming litigation.”

October 10, 2025
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Re: Statement on behalf of my client Paul Ingrassia regarding last night's story, Key Trump nominee accused of sexual harassment, POLITICO (Oct. 9, 2025), https://www.politico.com/news/2025/10/09/ingrassia-trump-harassment-dhs-
00596545
POLITICO's hit piece about Mr. Ingrassia is calculated to cause maximum harm to his promising career — and torpedo his nomination for Special Counsel. This vexatious political attack masquerading as "journalism" is defamatory and will be addressed in forthcoming litigation.
To be 100% crystal clear, so that there is zero room for doubt: Mr. Ingrassia did not engage in any wrongdoing in connection with the matters reported. As POLITICO itself reported: "The woman, whom POLITICO is not naming, said in a statement that she 'never felt uncomfortable' about Ingrassia's behavior and said she had never made a complaint." This is one of the only accurate parts of POLITICO's otherwise fantastical and fictional partisan fairy tale.
Accordingly, one last time, I call upon POLITICO to publicly apologize and issue a full retraction of this disgraceful and partisan sludge.

The MSM does not interview community organizers. It's part of why they miss so much of what happens at the local level.
