All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.
Next step: Student debt relief, paid for by the universities themselves, and bankruptable debt, to shut off the money spigot for the sheltered ideological bubbles of higher ed.

Prosecutor in NY AG Letitia James' office says he was ordered to dig up dirt on Trump allies: report
A veteran prosecutor in state Attorney General Letitia James' office claims he was ordered to dig up dirt on people and groups "affiliated with Donald Trump," according to a bombshell report.
Daniel Wiesenfeld, a former Brooklyn prosecutor who now works in James' Investor Protection Bureau, said his boss instructed him "to find and pursue crimes" committed by Trump allies, according to a since-deleted email obtained by the Times-Union.
Wiesenfeld alleged in his email on Friday that Bureau Chief Shamiso Maswoswe specifically directed him to target "Trump himself, Truth Social, Hewlett Packard (DOJ approved merger)... without having a credible reason for targeting the organizations and individuals," the outlet reported.
...
"If you believe Trump is using the [Department of Justice] attorneys to prosecute his enemies and further his political interests, you should find it equally troubling that Tish [James] is doing exactly the same thing," Wiesenfeld allegedly wrote in the message, which went to some 2,000 staffers before being yanked.
"I ask you that you not serve as Tish's personal attorneys by targeting her political enemies," he allegedly wrote. "Instead, I hope you choose to prosecute crimes and find the individuals accountable, rather than targeting individuals and then finding crimes."Weisenfeld asked that colleagues focus on prosecuting "rampant nonprofit homeless shelter fraud and antisemitic crimes in and around synagogues," and accused James of wasting "significant public taxpayer dollars to target convenient public enemies," Times-Union reported.
...
During her 2018 campaign, James vowed to "prosecute the president for crimes committed in New York state" if she was elected -- and kept her word after taking over the office.
...
Ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo's former aide Melissa DeRosa ripped James on X Sunday.
"@TishJames has been abusing her office for political gain for years.
"Don't criticize Trump's use of DOJ if you're not going to call out hers -/ it's wrong when either side does it."
Over the weekend, Rand Paul released the latest batch of Fauci documents, this time concerning Fauci’s efforts to delete federal records, his instructions to others to delete federal records, and his interactions with the CIA.

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul has given the public another reason to doubt the efforts of COVID czar Anthony Fauci were benevolent, as the former director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases repeatedly told recipients of his emails to delete them after reading.
In late July, Fauci appeared before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, which Paul chairs. Here, he repeatedly asserted his Fifth Amendment rights despite being a once-proud health official who loved the spotlight, making numerous media appearances.
While Fauci has been held in contempt of Congress, Just The News reported Sunday that Paul has released evidence showing the doctor told officials with whom he was in correspondence to delete emails on at least five occasions.
The emails date as far back as September 2009.
One email from Fauci concerning the AIDS vaccine research and smallpox vaccine told NIAID deputy Greg Folkers to "please delete this email after you had read it."
...
In another email about a "doomsday virus," Dr. Cliff Lane was instructed to "please delete this email and then delete from the deleted file."
Perhaps less surprisingly, correspondence also showed Fauci trying to mislead the CIA and Director of National Intelligence's office, stressing that they should contract individuals associated with studies proving the virus occurred naturally.
That particular email is dated to July 2021.
Just The News noted that the Federal Records Act requires the preservation of documents relating to officials' work including emails.
Former President Joe Biden's pardon of Fauci dates to Jan. 1, 2014. In the case of the Folkers email, it was dated to 2009.
Could there be a way to prosecute Fauci for violating the Federal Records Act?

President Trump secures majority U.S. control over 65 billion barrels of Venezuelan oil as Canada threatens its largest customer and squanders its energy advantage.
On Friday night, Trump announced what he called “THE BIGGEST OIL DEAL IN WORLD HISTORY.”
The United States has secured majority control of more than 65 billion barrels of proven Venezuelan oil reserves through a partnership with private business, at no cost to the American taxpayer.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth negotiated the agreement with Venezuela’s interim President Delcy RodrÃguez.
The deal covers 17 strategic fields, targets production of more than 1.5 million barrels per day, and is structured as a long-term arrangement (Venezuela says 25 years; other reports cite 100-year development rights).
RodrÃguez called it historic and said it could generate roughly $209 billion in revenue for Venezuela while drawing more than $100 billion in private investment.
Trump posted that the transaction “MORE THAN DOUBLES American Oil Reserves, greatly increases our Oil Supply, and will substantially lower Gas Prices for all Americans, long into the future.”
Monica Iken and her husband Michael Patrick Iken were set to celebrate the second anniversary of their meeting on September 9, 2001.Mamdani should not be attending the memorial service, and he also shouldn't be working as mayor. And we must hope he won't be anywhere near the memorial site come the week of the tragedy next month.
The newlyweds – married 11 months prior – parted on that Tuesday morning with Michael heading to his work as a bond broker in the South Tower of the World Trade Center in NYC.
“He kissed me goodbye and said, ‘I love you; I’ll see you later.’”
A few hours later, Michael called Monica from his office and told her to turn on the television. She thought this was strange, as bond traders are the busiest in the mornings and he would not normally call until the afternoon.
“I did, and I saw this gaping hole and that a plane hit the building [the North Tower],” she recalled in a conversation with The Jerusalem Post. “He told me: ‘Everything is fine, everything is okay. They said to stay where we are. Don’t worry.’”
“Then he said, ‘I’ve got to go. I’ll call you back.’ He called me back a few minutes later and said, ‘Listen, you’ve got to call the family and friends; they keep calling me here, and there’s a lot going on.’”
Monica pulled up the phone book while still watching the TV and listening to her husband, who still sounded calm.
“I have the phone book in my left hand and the phone in the right hand, and I literally see this thing come out of the corner of the screen on the right side, like a giant jumbo jet.”
“I thought: ‘There’s no way.’ Nothing was registering. When you see something like that, your brain is not computing. I literally watched [the plane] hit the [South] Tower, and I was frozen in space because he worked in tower two on the 84th floor.”
Monica said she kept thinking Michael would get out, because his best friend did. But by September 12, she said, her “nightmare had begun.”
“To this day, I have no remains,” she told the Post. “I have nothing ... not even a ring, not even an ID, nothing.”
“I had to digest that I was newly married, trying to have a baby, and he went to work but was never coming home. And even though we went down to look for him and we did all those things, the reality was – I knew he was gone.”
Monica starts NGO, September's Mission to preserve site
After Michael was killed, Monica became concerned with the idea that the city may build over the site of all the fallen. This prompted her to start her NGO, September’s Mission.
It was founded with the primary objective of working with public and private partnerships to secure the acreage of the World Trade Center site and ensure “that we do not build over dead people in America.”
Of the approximately 16-acre site of the former World Trade Center complex, Monica and her fellow advocates managed to secure half of the site for the Ground Zero memorial.
“The good news is I have a place to go to honor my husband,” she continued. “His birthday is on September 8, so I go there on September 8. He will be 62 this September. We celebrate every year.”
“As long as I’m alive, I go to the memorial, and we sit by his name, and we have merlot, his favorite thing, and we celebrate life instead of death,” Monica said.
“He took his last breath there, his last step, and for me, that is a sacred and hallowed space. I thank God every day for that place, because if I didn’t have that place to go, I would never have survived the nightmare,” she continued.
September mission's second objective is working with families of those killed and advocating for them to receive whatever they need.
“I help them with mental health and educational programming. I do a lot of things behind the scenes,” Monica remarked.
She doesn’t take a salary, and uses her own funds to keep the organization running.
Because of her work with September’s Mission, Monica is very involved emotionally and practically with the families, so when the discussion came up in recent months about New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s planned attendance at the memorial, Monica’s main concern was how the families will feel about that.
“It’s not political for me. He’s our mayor. I’m a New Yorker. It’s more about the fact that this is our time, and the people who should be there are the ones representing that time with us and were a part of that time,” she said.
“I don’t know where he stands exactly, but he doesn’t seem to be on the same page,” Monika continued, adding that she felt that Mamdani was somewhat connected to the people who “murdered our loved ones.”
“If I go to a funeral and the murderer comes, I don’t think that’s acceptable. And I’m not saying he is a murderer. I’m just saying that he wasn’t involved. I think he needs to just respect us and let us have our time, and then he can do whatever he wants.”
It’s popular among a certain sort to point out that Islam has always been a fact of American life — Thomas Jefferson owned a Koran, don’t you know — but that’s not really true. Before 9/11, Islam was only tangentially relevant in American life. As recently as 1993, the journalist Robert Kaplan was still using the term “Moslems,” which feels like “Boer” or “Hottentot” or something else we left in the 19th century.Even years before, both Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan were already enabling footholds, and there were alleged conservatives who were just as hostile as some leftists to the whole notion of daring to speak negatively about the Religion of Peace. Tucker Carlson's quite possibly one of those. Many of these same people are more than utterly willing to call even 911 Families "bigots and xenophobes", and in the past quarter century, I remember a man from Titusville, PA, claiming to be a teacher, who said that while he may not call a kid whose firefighting father died in the WTC tragedy a bigot, he would be perfectly willing to say he was wrong to come within even miles of saying anything negative about the Religion of Peace. Its makes no difference whether somebody's willing to employ crude language or not, what's offensive there is that somebody in a position of "education" is basically saying survivors of 911 and their families have no moral authority and are systematically forbidden to address serious issues like these in any way, shape or form. And it should be noted the man I speak of later embraced a book laced with anti-American metaphors that minimized sexual violence. That man, to my knowledge, died 4 years ago at just 57 years old, of an illness, but the damage people like him did to morale and unity is stunning. And that people like him were willing to support books with repulsive viewpoints speaks volumes.
But on September 11, 2001, Islam and America collided, and the former has been on a speedrun in our country ever since.
It’s fascinating but not entirely surprising that an Islamic terror attack on the United States somehow led to the rapid mainstreaming of radical Islam in this country. Countries tend to import bits of former enemies’ cultures, like how we all drive Hondas and the Japanese love baseball. But the acceptance of even the most vile and un-American forms of Islam was hastened by the liberal obsession with fighting “Islamophobia” during the War on Terror, an arguably good intention that paved the road down which folks like Abdul El-Sayed now trod.
Our problem is not a lack of awareness necessarily — consumers of conservative media at least are familiar with things like the footwashing station in the Dallas-Fort Worth airport and the semi-autonomous Muslim town in Texas. The problem is that even those of us paying attention don’t appreciate how quickly we got here.
As we approach the 25th anniversary of 9/11, consider the scandal that rocked the 10th: the planned construction of an Islamic community center blocks away from the site of the terrorist attack. Dubbed the “Ground Zero Mosque,” the project was almost universally derided. Howard Dean said the project was “a real affront to people who lost their lives” on 9/11, while then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid called for the builders to pick a different site.
It’s hard to imagine Democrats reacting that way now, and that’s a problem. But even in 2011, things had gotten away from us. Reid and Dean broke with President Barack Obama, who defended the project. Obama may not be a secret Kenyan Muslim, but he sure did his best to make criticizing Islam socially unacceptable.
