Not technically American news, but since Japan is a key ally... Japan just elected a right wing, Shinzo Abe protege as their Prime Minister. Sounds pretty good for Japanese/American relations and the fight against global Marxism.

Japan's ruling party has just elected Sanae Takaichi as their new leader, setting her up to become the country's first female Prime Minister. Here is what she believes and more about her:

As a hard-line conservative and a member of Japan's largest nationalist organization Nippon Kaigi, she champions nationalist policies. She opposes illegal AND legal immigration, citing cultural & security risks, and pushes strict visa rules to curb overtourism. She believes that immigration to Japan risks destabilizing Japanese society and argues that Japan should stay Japan.

Takaichi opposes same-sex marriage, dual surnames after marriage, government gender equality plans, and female imperial succession, arguing they threaten traditional family structures. Takaichi supports imprisoning those who damage Japan's national flag.... As a China hawk, she supports revising Article 9 (that prohibits Japan from entering armed conflict) for a stronger military, reducing economic reliance on Beijing, and strengthening ties with America. As someone mentored by Shinzo Abe, she carries Shinzo Abe's legacy...

Just wanted to introduce yall to one of Trumps new critical peers in the pacific,

Sanae Takaichi, Japans likely first female Prime Minister, a hard line conservative and "warhawk" for lack of a better term

My favorite phrase ive heard from her is

"I myself shall throw away the phrase "work life balance", I will work, work, work, work, work, and keep on working"

She will be critical in organizing Japan to a state of military readiness to deal with hypothetical future conflicts with china

Japan is utterly fucked.

[Takaichi] says she wants stronger ties with India and Africa so Japan can regain presence on the global stage

In Miami? They picked the worst possible city.

Everyone in Florida laughs at “climate change” because the promised sea level rise hasn’t come. The beach I vacation at is exactly the same size as it was when I was a little kid, but according to the “Science” it should be entirely underwater.

Florida is worse too, because by actual soil/geological/ecological logic so much fucking development in Florida should not fucking exist, even assuming stable sea levels.
"bro lets just build 4 story buildings on an ephemeral sandbar, it'll be fine bro, what could go wrong?"

Yet sea level rise is such imminent doom that the all the high rises built on fucking marshes and sandbars remain dry as a bone.

Bonus points when all the politifags who bitch about climate change doom then buy multimillion dollar waterfront properties that by their own ideology will not exist in 20 years.

The Chicago Teachers Union honored black commie Assata Shakur, who died in Cuba after she escaped being in prison for the murder of a New Jersey state trooper. Now they are being denounced by their fellow Democrats probably because they don't want Trump to send Nasty Girls to Chicago.

Awful as Xitter is, the context feature on the site is a godsend.
https://xcancel.com/CTULocal1/status/1971749649951142009

In 1973, Assata Shakur murdered a NJ State Trooper & was convicted of first-degree murder, armed robbery, and aggravated assault. In 1979, armed allies stormed prison, freed her, and smuggled her to Cuba. The FBI added her to its Most Wanted Terrorists list.

Commiefornia is going ahead with their censorship bill. Bill SB 771 just passed the house and chances are Newsome will sign it into law.

This bill is just a copy of the cUK Offcomm order that makes Social Media companies responsible for damages from "harmful content" "hateful speech" and of course the standard slew of anti-racist, anti-LGBQT and anything else someone may find offensive. You can then sue both the company for "aiding the transmission of..." and the person who posted it. Kiss Section 230 good bye.

https://calmatters.digitaldemocracy.org/bills/ca_202520260sb771

This bill would make a social media platform, as defined, that violates the above-referenced provisions of law relating to personal rights through its algorithms that relay content to users or aids, abets, acts in concert, or conspires in violation of those laws, or is a joint tortfeasor in an action alleging a violation of those laws, liable for specified civil penalties. The bill would declare its provisions to be severable and would declare attempted waiver of its provisions to be void and unenforceable.

This bill would become operative on January 1, 2027.


Well you might say, this bill only covers California so what right? Who cares if Californians want to censor their speech? Then I would remind you exactly where 99% of all Tech and Social Media companies are based.

The damage this law will do to the Internet is immense and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. We can only how that the Tech Companies move out of Commiefornia or that Trump gets off his ass and actually makes a Internet Bill of Rights.

TLDR: Commiefornia realizing that they have 99% of Tech in their state now have passed a bill that gives them control over social media. It's Offcomm 2.0 just in the US.

These were the guys whining about free speech just a few weeks back btw.Surely the celebs that "stood up" for kimmel, and live in LA will have something to say about this?

Oh man does Pritzker want blood in the streets. He's at half mast already and just dying for the ICE guys to start shooting. He thinks this is his ticket to the Whitehouse in 2028.

The Republican Party is very healthy. They have lots of money, they have control in the majority of states, and in states they don’t control, they usually have at least a governor or legislature. They have solid power at the Federal level for now, and even if they lose it, they will remain relevant as they have a lot of ground support.

I think what you’re seeing is more of an effect of the Republicans gaining more power and becoming more of a big tent party

Wow!! This is reassuring. This sounds like it will be a party made of leaders that care about their voters and the average American. More money and more power to any one party in politics works best for the citizenship of a Constitutional Republic. We use to be one party pretending to be two. Now they get to stop pretending. It’s just one big party, fun!
That should free up some time to do more fundraising and send yet another email off about how they need more of your money to do things they’ve been promising to do for decades. They can fit in a few more lunches and dinners with lobbyists. Maybe take an extra trip to Israel this year.

Hint: We need more parties, not less.

 

[World Famous Quasi Payer]

Exactly and you can tell the people that have never went beyond voting, bitching online or showing up to a protest. You also start to suspect who’s guilty of being the very people we’re talking about.

This will hit the Republican Party hard when donors that paid $5-10k, per event on a table and another $20k on their stupid fundraising baskets and garbage, stop showing up. Worse, when we provide proof of who they are to all of our fellow republican friends, the ones who donate, knock doors, phone bank, pound signs along roads, host fundraisers and auctions, do all their office work and campaigning, many times for free, round up donations, actualnmoney and raffle items, set up and tear
down events, work the doors and tables, provide refreshments out of our own pockets, volunteer as aids and provide private security for them.

I hope their faggot, trannys, illegals and the people that masked you and had your businesses shut down pay as well. Government is a clown show and the stars are our elected representatives, on all sides.

How much does donor money matter? Hillary and Kamala spent more money than Trump did. I'm willing to bet Biden did as well. The only person out of those three that won did so because of cheating. Money played a role, but not that massive of a role. On the opposite have the GOP donors stopped or even put a dent in Trump's rise to power? Remember DeSantis brief stint running for the republican nomination? Yeah, the donors can throw as much as they desire at people. It doesn't translate into votes.

I personally think a massive clash/party fight is good. I want people to discuss views, and agendas, and to be called out. Some of the best parts of Trump's career is when he got up on that nomination debate stage and trounced every fucking worthless suit up there back in 2016. Some of those worthless fucks now serve in his admin, and are taking his orders. Does that mean they've converted to MAGA? Maybe, maybe not. However so long as they serve MAGA, serve the voters, I don't care what their personal views are.

Don't know. Literally just talked about and I can't find any news articles about it. I guess the press isn't going to cover left wing terror anymore.
The Chicago ICE building has had people there, including local press, 24/7 for weeks.

Neoliberals are well endowed with deranged self-righteousness, less so with smarts:

An anti-ICE protester in Massachusetts forgot to put her car in park while yelling at agents making an arrest of an illegal alien and her car rolled into a lake and [sank], an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) source tells Fox News.

Watch and laugh as the wokester gets her just reward for haranguing ICE agents defending her country:

That's insane. Apparently 10 vehicles were involved in the ambush, and I don't know exactly what "no officers were seriously injured" means, but they were taking fire.

Probably still too early to say, are Chicago police actually not cooperating? Will the governor double down? I am torn between the wisdom of Chudha and the flagrancy of this action. At this point, if nothing happens, it's pretty embarrassing. It's not hard to argue for martial law.

The money matters, to us because that’s what controls what laws they are passing and which are stuck in a drawer.

To them, because that and the social and political power is the only thing they work for.

You can replace money, you can’t replace actual grass roots local support and the amount of work we do behind the scenes for these people, especially in smaller cities and towns. Word of mouth still reigns and your twitter bots in Venezuela or India are not showing up, butts in chairs for you. Next election will be the dirtiest we’ve seen.

Also worth pointing out that at least one of if not both of the other two also cheated and fucking lost anyways.

I'm placing my bet now.
It was a troon.

 

[prollyanotherlurker]

I will never trust someone whose ideals and values changed overnight

From the horses mouth. The people I have seen saying this stuff. It hasn't been overnight. More like a slow burn, then the Charlie Kirk thing was finally the point where the ones that were getting there decided that's enough.

It was almost the same story for all of them I have seen. Or at least very similar.

The ones that are doubling down now, will never change, and I wouldn't trust them if they said they did.

 

[redlenses2112]

Neoliberals shriek that any resistance to them comprises a threat to democracy. Here’s how they defend democracy in Washington State:

Let’s Go Washington (LGW) reported on Thursday that a college-aged woman confronted a signature gatherer outside a Fred Meyer in Tacoma. Witnesses say she ripped petitions out of the gatherer’s hands, stole signature sheets, and then struck an innocent bystander with her car as she sped off. Police were on site investigating the hit-and-run when another individual arrived and began destroying signs and petitions at the same table.

https://xcancel.com/letsgowa/status/1971587431649702357

No doubt the signature gatherer qualifies as an “extremist”:

LGW is collecting signatures for two initiatives, one restoring a parent’s bill of rights and the other barring biological boys from competing in sports competitions against biological girls.

https://xcancel.com/jasonrantz/status/1971011065476440066

As LGW notes,

“Not a single Democrat lawmaker has called for the intimidation, threats, harassment, or attacks to stop.”

Local media encourages shitlib bullying by ignoring it.

 

[World Famous Quasi Payer]

and I don't know exactly what "no officers were seriously injured" means, but they were taking fire.

Means they didn't have to go the hospital. I'm assume low speed car crash. I'm also assuming they would mentioned if the ICE agents were shot at.
