FBI Nabs Four Nutjobs from Radical Pro-Palestinian Group Plotting New Year's Eve Bombings in LA

In a major win for common sense, the FBI busted a serious terror plot over the weekend, hauling in four alleged members of a far-left extremist group that was gearing up for coordinated bombings across Los Angeles on New Year's Eve. These clowns apparently call themselves part of the Turtle Island Liberation Front. 

Sources tell us these individuals identified as belonging to a violent splinter of the Turtle Island Liberation Front (TILF), a bunch driven by pro-Palestinian rage mixed with hatred for cops, and the government itself.

The feds say the suspects were scheming to hit five different spots in LA with homemade IEDs on the big night.

The arrests went down in Lucerne Valley, where the geniuses were reportedly prepping to test their explosives. All four are now facing charges of conspiracy and possession of destructive devices.

Defender of the Island of Turtle

On Monday, the FBI announced they also collared a fifth suspect tied to the same TILF crew in New Orleans, who was allegedly plotting his own separate attack.

A TILF Instagram account said its founding chapter is in Los Angeles, and its goal is to free "Turtle Island," an Indigenous name used to refer to North America, from the "illegal American empire." Who they planned to give it to is unclear.

"Free Palestine. Free Hawaii. Free Puerto Rico," the account posted."Freeing the world from American imperialism is the only way to a safe and peaceful future," it continued.

Just another reminder that the real threats often come wrapped in "liberation" rhetoric while plotting mass murder. Good riddance to these scumcrumpets. I hope they enjoy their new accommodations courtesy of the taxpayers they despise.

Biden's 'garbage' line about Trump supporters sent Harris' campaign into panic

Holy cow paddies Batman! Joe Biden’s “garbage” jab at Trump supporters sent Kamala Hahaharris' campaign into full-on damage repair, similar to what Jake Tapper and much of lame-stream media are trying to do about Biden's mental acuity, or lack thereof. 

According to Tapper and Alex Thompson’s juicy tell-all book, Original Sin, Harris was left scrambling, reportedly turning to her team with a frantic nasal, “What are we going to do about this?”

It all kicked off when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe decided to lob a Molotov cocktail of a joke at a Trump rally on Sunday, calling Puerto Rico “literally a floating island of garbage in the … ocean right now, I think it’s called Puerto Rico.” 

Not the best joke, Tony. 

The backlash was swift. Critics screamed racism, and the anti-Israel Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez didn’t hold back, calling it “super upsetting” and an “authentic depiction of how Donald Trump believes and what he thinks about Puerto Rico.” 

Of course, had it been a joke about White people, AOC would not have noticed anything wrong. 

Democrats thought they had a slam dunk to paint Trump as the bad guy, but then Biden, in true Biden fashion, fumbled his words, and then the ball. 

During a speech to Voto Latino, the guy went rogue, allegedly sneering, “And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.’ Well, let me tell you something… The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” 

That same night, Harris was out there trying to drop her big “closing argument” speech, but Biden’s gaffe stole the spotlight like a drunk uncle at a wedding. The Trump campaign pounced, labeling it “terrible” and dragging out the ghost of Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” for a victory lap. 

Trump, never one to miss a photo op, leaned into the chaos, hopping into a garbage truck in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on October 30, 2024, and later strutting out at a rally in a bright yellow vest like he was auditioning for Sanitation Worker: The Musical.

Harris, not one to be found at a Mensa meeting, stuck cleaning up Biden’s mess, tried to distance herself. “I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for, you heard my speech last night and continuously throughout my career. I believe that the work that I do is about representing all the people, whether they support me or not,” she said, doing her best to sound like the adult in the room.

Meanwhile, the 2024 race kept spiraling into a circus. Democrat strategist Brad Howard even popped up to spar with Will over whether Harris could charm Joe Rogan’s audience. Good luck with that one. Harris’ campaign was already dodging Biden’s verbal landmines—what’s one more tightrope to walk?

Climate scientist and WH Press Sec'y KJP says that taxpayer dollars will help the hurricane season

No, our incredible genius of a White House Press Secretary wasn't talking about Miami college football when mentioning hurricanes, Karine Jean-Pierre was talking about the weather. She said that "this hurricane season" will be "helped" by Biden's oxymoronically-named  Inflation Reduction Act, because, umm . . . she said so.

Anyone who honestly believes this claptrap needs to wear a helmet whenever they get upset. This administration wants to take your money, pee on your leg and tell you it's raining.

The Left makes a lot of claims but they never offer anything to substantiate their claims. They ought to write a book and title it "The S**t Our President and His Administration Says."

Here is part of KJP's Friday pontificating:

And it is one of the most — the most historic investment to fight climate change. As we are talking about extreme weather, I’ve gotten multiple questions on Puerto Rico and what the people — people of Puerto Rico, our brothers and sisters, are going through; what may happen in this hurricane season.

A lot of that is — is going to be helped by the work that this President has done — Bipartisan Infrastructure Law; again, the Inflation Reduction Act.

At least she admitted that a hurricane is weather and not climate change. That must have been a mistake on her part.

How is money going to fight climate change? Please 'splain, Lucy.

Meanwhile as KJP and others do the fear-mongering for the Left, there's all those top Democrats emitting more carbon emissions per person than small cities as they travel via private jet or, in the case of Joe Biden, frivolously take the Presidential Air Force One from Washington, D.C. to Delaware just to vote. 

Many people on both sides of the aisle are catching on to the fake hysteria as RedState reported in July. In fact, a New York Times/Siena College poll found, only one percent of registered voters view climate change as a "top priority."

Hurricane Fiona kills Puerto Rico's power: worse than California

Photo: Ricardo Arduengo/AFP

Like California on a hot day, Puerto Rico is without power across the island. The main difference is that while California has rolling black outs and asks people not to charge their electric vehicles, Puerto Rico lost their power in a violent hurricane.

Fiona reached Puerto Rico on Sunday as a Category 1 storm. Governor Pedro Pierluisi confirmed the island's electrical outage shortly before President Joe Biden authorized an emergency disaster.

“Today, President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. declared that an emergency exists in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico and ordered Federal assistance to supplement Commonwealth and local response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from Tropical Storm Fiona beginning on September 17, 2022, and continuing,” Biden, or someone behind the scene, who had not lost their language skills, wrote.

“The President’s action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population,” the declaration added.

The storm is expected to bring up to two feet of rain in some parts of the island, with more than 12 inches of precipitation across most of Puerto Rico. Fiona began as a tropical storm, striking Guadeloupe on Friday with one death reported.

Fiona was upgraded to hurricane status on Sunday as sustained winds reached more than 80 miles per hour. Gusts of up to 100 miles per hour have been reported on the island with a population of 1.4 million people.

Puerto Rico’s Luma Energy reported the blackout conditions on Sunday afternoon.

“The current weather conditions are extremely dangerous and are hindering our ability to fully assess the situation,” the company said in a statement.

“Due to the magnitude and extent of the blackout, as well as the effects of Hurricane Fiona, the total restoration of electricity service could take several days,” it added. This is actually worse than California, except for the schools on the island not being forced to teach critical race theory or have "Drag Queen Story Hour" with toddlers.

Health centers are reportedly running on generators, the Associated Press reported, and solar panels would have been useless, but imagine what wind turbines would produce.

The outlet noted that Health Secretary Carlos Mellado said crews were working to repair generators as soon as possible at the Comprehensive Cancer Center, which had experienced outages.

The latest hurricane passes through just two days ahead of the anniversary of Hurricane Maria, which caused nearly 3,000 deaths in the region in 2017. The devastating Category 4 storm struck on September 20, 2017, destroying the island’s power grid.

Thankfully only one unfortunate person was killed but it could have been worse.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ain't what she's cracked up to be

It turns out that the 'poor girl from the Bronx' Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the new face of the leftist Democrats, isn't as poor as she had claimed to be.

The campaign biography of Ocasio-Cortez describes a hardscrabble life in 'dah Bronx', but that's as close to the truth as Michael Moore having plans of becoming a Calvin Klein underwear model. It was recently revealed that she didn't grow up in the Bronx--she grew up in tony Westchester County.

The socialist is currently 28, and although she was born in the Bronx and now lives there, land county records reveal that her late father Sergio Cortez-Roman bought a 3-bedroom in Yorktown Heights, New York in 1991, when Alexandria was two.

She didn't mention that in her official biography but actually contradicts that little fact by stating in part: "The state of Bronx public schools in the late 80s and early 90s sent her parents on a search for a solution. She ended up attending public school 40 minutes north of Yorktown, and much of her life was defined by the 40 minute commute between school and her family in the Bronx."

This is what is known among political circles as a lie.

Ocasio-Cortez also bragged on the once-funny Stephen Colbert show that President Trump, born in Queens, wouldn't know how to handle "a girl from the Bronx" such as herself. [See previous paragraph.]

The Daily Mail exposed Ocasio-Cortez's lies and she did not respond to their request for comment, typical of what leftists do when caught.

Before defeating the incumbent and arrogant Democratic primary opponent Joe "I Can't Lose" Crowley, socialist Ocasio-Cortez was basically unknown. Partly responsible for her win may have be credited to her hard-luck, "oh woe is me," biography which is now known to be based on lies and deception.

So what else is new on the left?

New York's 14th district encompasses parts of the Bronx and Queens, with a hard left-leaning population that still buys "Che" tee-shirts and knows nothing about the failures of socialism, for the most part. Ocasio-Cortez is expected to win big in the general election because Republicans don't promise free stuff they can't deliver.

Ocasio-Cortez was born in 1989 in New York City. Her father, an architect and CEO of Kirschenbaum & Ocasio-Roman Architects, was also originally from and he died from lung cancer in 2008.

Ocasio-Cortez, a socialist prefabricator, claimed in her campaign biography that her father was a "small business owner." His company focused on remodeling and renovations.

 Daniel Greenfield discusses the father's business and its relationship to the race card in Front Page Magazine.

The campaign bio states that "She grew up in a working-class household where her mothier cleaned homes and everyone pitched in on the family business."

The bio forgets to mention that when she was about five, the family moved to the house in Westchester County, a fact even confirmed by The New York Times.

The home was a single-story with a finished basement and recently sold [in 2016] for $355,000. The median annual income in the area is $116,741, compared to the $48,315 median income in Parkchester.

Ironically, the bio states "It was clear to her, even then, that the zip code a child was born in determined much to their destiny."

Of course, that's a lie. The United States is one of the most income mobile nations on earth where income is determined by whether you finish high school, get a job and get married before having babies.

Her biggest political involvement was with the Bernie Sanders failed bid to run the country into the ground. Last year she participated in vigils for Hurricane Maria--which she claims took the life of her grandfather in Puerto Rico.

This probably needs to be fact checked.

Oscar Lopez Rivera gets place of honor at Puerto Rican Day Parade in NYC

The left's heroes a typically scum muffins like Che, Castro, Mao and Lenin, to name a few. The left aligns itself with those who go against our values, who lash out and kill in the process.

One of the most popular tee-shirts for the left was the Che shirt, but Che was scum who shot people in the head as they were on their knees pleading for mercy. He had a cool beret and smoked cigars, so the left loved him.

A dickweed with a hat

The left has made Che, a clear asshat into a folk hero because the left is composed of young people who need to go against the status quo because they haven't yet grown up.

Now let's consider a terrorist, Oscar Lopez Rivera.

Oscar, a Puerto Rican nationalist, served 35 years in prison for his role in the FALN terror group that cowardly planted a bomb in Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan. It's a national landmark and killing people there was no accident. There were other bombings in the 1970s and 1980s, but this one was the most notorious.

I remember it vividy--I worked in lower Manhattan (on Broad Street) the day the bomb went off and killed people. 

It happened in 1975.

Lopez Rivera stepped off at the head of New York City's Puerto Rican Day Parade Sunday with a top city official by his side. The terrorist drew cheers as well as boos on the first float of the parade.

Organizers of the parade actually had the nerve to honor the POS with the parade's "National Freedom Award," but he declined after sponsors including AT&T and Jet Blue pull out, as well as New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. As much as I don't go along with any of his socialist-style policies, I respect that he made the right move in this case.

"I feel good about being here," the scum wafer said and pounded his chest chanting "Que viva Puerto Rico!" "This parade is for the Puerto Rican public." The folks for whom he killed non-Puerto Ricans.

NYC Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito climbed aboard the terrorist's float about halfway through the parade route.

Lopez Rivera's supporters followed the float carrying signs that read: "Oscar Lopez Rivera is our Mandela."

"This really pisses me off," said Mark Rivera (no relation to the scum muffin) "This is a day for honoring the republic of Puerto Rico, not honoring a terrorist. This man has no place in our parade. He makes me ashamed to be a Puerto Rican."

Most of the tens of thousands celebrants were too involved with celebrating Puerto Rico than to care that a disgusting person was being honored by leftists whose family members were not killed by this animal.

"We don't care that he is here," said Rosa Rosario, a 68-year-old low-information about everything human being.

"I don't support a political movement," she bloviated. She explained that she was at the parade to support "my hometown, Hormigueros" --a municipality in the western region of the island where she wandered away from as a little girl on crack.

Not wanting to be part of a celebration that honors a terrorist isn't political Rosa, you moron.

The FALN claimed responsibility for over 100 bombings in the U.S. and Puerto Rico. The lunchtime blast at Fraunces Tavern, the place where President George Washington bid farewell to his men, killed four people and injured many more.

Lopez Rivera was convicted of seditious conspiracy, but never charged with any specific bombings. He was released last month following the commutation of his sentence by fellow socialist and community organizer, Barack Obama.

NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, also a socialist and defender of the Sandinista rebels, showed up for the parade but made no comments and simply shook hands of people who probably didn't know who he is.
