Delay, delay, delay — the Democrats' (and a critical core of Republicans’)judicial game plan wins again

/

Enjoin the Trump administration in every way until we regain power and can make certain this assault on our deep state never occurs again. This decision makes that day grow closer.

The Supreme Court Just Ruled Against Election Security

On Monday evening, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the Trump administration's emergency request to allow the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) new ballot-mail rule to take effect for the 2026 elections.

The ruling leaves U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani's preliminary injunction in place and effectively means the rule will not govern the November midterms.

The decision has allowed a lower court ruling to stay in place that blocked the federal government from only delivering ballots to individuals who were verified registered voters in their respective states.

Justice Kavanaugh concurred with the ruling provided by the majority, saying that the new rule imposed by the United States Postal Service may be legal, but the move was made too close to the midterm election.

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito were the lone dissenters in the case. Alito took aim at Kavanaugh’s decision in his dissent, claiming that the courts were to blame for the case coming before the Supreme Court so close to Election Day.

The ruling deals a significant blow to Republicans who hoped to rein in mail-in ballots after Republican leadership in the Senate failed to advance election security measures before the election.

Trump Admin Invokes Law to Boot Welfare-Reliant Foreigners. Mamdani Is Furious.

As soon as the Trump administration invoked a law allowing the denial of taxpayer-funded benefits to foreigners who are living off our money and not contributing to our nation, New York socialists freaked out and sued. In fact, the Trump administration confirmed that 22 states have already joined the lawsuit.

Responding to a Polymarket report that 22 states were bringing suit against the Trump administration for enforcing the 19th-century law, the Department of Homeland Security posted, “Let’s get this straight, sanctuary states are terrified they will lose federal funds because hundreds of thousands of illegals and noncitizens might remove themselves from American welfare programs. This is the ideological contortion required by left-wing leaders to justify their defrauding of the American taxpayer at the hands of illegal criminals. DHS has heard for months that illegal aliens weren’t using these very same welfare programs. So, which is it?”

🚨BREAKING: The Trump Administration has invoked the long-unenforced Immigration Act of 1882 to prohibit entry into the United States of “any convict, lunatic, idiot, or any person unable to take care of himself or herself without becoming a public charge.” Ultimately, this will allow the Trump Administration to deny green cards to immigrants who are likely to use federal welfare, food stamps, or Medicaid, and to revoke the green cards of immigrants who are currently using these programs. The new rule is set to take effect Friday, September 18. As a result, 5.6 million immigrants are expected to lose access to those benefits, and American taxpayers are expected to save $13 billion per year. Follow: @MorseReport

‘ANTI-DEMOCRATIC’: Nonprofits That Received Tax Dollars Unite to Oppose Rules Cracking Down on Waste, Fraud, and Abuse

And:

Stephen Green:

DEMOCRATS HAD JUST TWO YEARS UNDER BIDEN TO JACK UP SPENDING, AND AFTER FOUR YEARS, THE GOP STILL LACKS THE GUTS TO FIGHT THE RATCHET EFFECT: Congress mum on federal deficit hitting $2 trillion milestone, again.

The federal government has collected $4.8 trillion and spent $6.8 trillion, generating a deficit already higher than last year’s with still a month of borrowing to go.

“Such extraordinarily high deficits are just one piece of our fiscal situation that is falling apart,” Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, said.

“The gross national debt recently hit the sobering milestone of $40 trillion; we’re now spending more on yearly interest costs than on our national defense; debt held by the public exceeds the size of our entire economy; and trust funds for programs that tens of millions of Americans rely on face insolvency in less than a decade.”

As of Thursday afternoon, however, even the so-called Republican “deficit hawks” in Congress haven’t responded to the news, following a pattern of lawmakers largely disregarding soaring deficit spending.

“If something cannot go on forever, it will stop,” the wise man once said.

In fact, it's a great ad for every group that opposes the new world order, Europe, Britain or the United States

Follow-up on Sweden's effort to shed immigrants: too late

Swedish Left Wins Tiny Majority, on Backs of Muslim Voters

It was bound to happen in a country where 27 percent of the population is foreign-born or second-generation immigrants. The ruling conservative coalition lost its majority by a razor-thin margin, and that razor-thin margin was provided by non-native voters, who constitute about 13 to 14 percent of the electorate. 

The left-wing bloc is projected to win 176 seats in Parliament, while the right-leaning bloc is likely to net 173 seats, putting them just below the number needed for a majority. So far, 95 percent of the votes have been counted, and these are just projections, of course, but the results are likely to hold. 

Nobody is disputing that the margin of victory was Muslim voters, who cast their ballots overwhelmingly for left-leaning parties in the likely ruling coalition. In Muslim dominated areas, the left-wing parties gained almost 100 percent of the votes. 

The shift in the number of votes between the parties was negligible — the two major blocs in Parliament received almost the same percentage of votes as in the last election. One factor drove the results almost entirely: a demographic shift in the voting base over the past few years. A few hundred thousand Swedish voters had died, and a few hundred thousand new migrants were granted citizenship. 

Back in the 80s, Microsoft had zero lobbyists in Washington. Clinton's DOJ sued them on anti-trust grounds, and by the time the dust cleared, the company had 100 + lobbyists in the swamp

The AI 'Pause' Might Not Be What You Think it Is

Anthropic co-founder Dario Amodei shocked the world this weekend with an essay arguing that "We must slow the pace" or even "pause" AI development, including a call for government regulation "focused on keeping capabilities in balance with safety." More shocking was that Amodei's call was echoed by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and X owner Elon Musk.

But I wasn't shocked. I've heard this tale before — from the other side.

In the waning weeks of the Biden Cabal, billionaire investor Marc Andreessen described administration efforts to effectively cartelize the AI industry, putting it tightly in Washington's grip.

According to Andreessen, Biden officials told him that "AI is going to be a game of two or three big companies working closely with the government." 

"We had meetings in DC," he went on, "and the meetings were absolutely horrifying. They said, look, AI is a technology basically, that the government is going to completely control. This is not going to be a startup thing. They, they actually said flat out to us, don't do AI startups like, don't fund AI startups. It's not something that we're going to allow to happen."

So far, so fascist. But it gets worse.

Andreessen also said, "I'm paraphrasing, but we're going to basically wrap them in a government cocoon. We're going to protect them from competition, we're going to control them, we're going to dictate what they do."

The most powerful software in the world, under the control of a multitrillion-dollar Deep State.

…. That isn't to say there aren't dangers inherent in AI, or that some regulation isn't called for. What I am saying is that you don't want it under the control of unelected bureaucrats working hand-in-hand with the likes of Sen. Bernie Sanders (CPUSA-Vt. Oblast) or up-and-comers like Abdul El-Sayed.

…. But in AI terms, 2024 was at least a decade ago, and the industry has troubling new powers and — believe it or not — some seemingly insurmountable challenges. The one challenge readers here should already know about is AI's insane and never-ending capital requirements. Capital expenditures on the data centers and everything else amounted to about $450 billion in 2025, are projected to reach roughly $700–870 billion this year, and are forecast to reach a trillion or more in 2027.

ONE. TRILLION. DOLLARS.

You might think that kind of spending would generate massive returns and lock-in from customers, sometimes called a "moat." Think of the difficulties involved in switching from iPhone to Android or vice-versa — data, apps, subscriptions... ugh, what a pain. That's the moat encircling Apple and Google's competing operating systems.

In AI, however, not only are there no moats, you can increasingly roll your own.

And Another Thing: You should see how Rahm Emanuel got roasted in the replies and in the Community Notes to this post claiming, "I can tell you when the last time a CEO or an industry at large asked to be regulated: never." Except that it happens all the time, going at least as far back as railroads in the 19th Century using federal regulations to guarantee their profits.

….. According to investor "Ayush" on X, Latham & Watkins is "building an in-house AI stack" to run on world-class Nvidia servers that they now own. As a result, the company will soon have "open-weight models it can fine tune," along with "infrastructure only Latham employees can access."

Worse than "robbing" some big AI firm of all that revenue, Latham & Watkins will also deny them the data they need to help build next year's models.

Anthropic lost an estimated $5.2 billion last year, even before companies like Latham & Watkins started rolling their own. What Anthropic needs is a moat, and those usually come courtesy of Big Government. Think of taxi medallions, franchise laws, or pretty much any profession requiring a government license. All are examples of regulatory capture, where private interests use government to feather their nests.

So when I see the chiefs of a money-losing industry begging to be regulated, it makes me think less of the dangers of rogue AI's, and more about the dangers of private interests entrenched by government fiat.

Beware AI. But beware even more a "partnership" between AI and DC.

The combination of China funding the protests against data centers and now this current anti-AI hysteria while building its own systems as fast as they can steal them, socialists like Bernie Sanders, Obama, and Mamdani clamoring for a government takeover, and the largest AI players demanding their industry be regulated by Washington so that their lobbyists can go to work, the actual risks of AI pale in comparison.

Price drop on Dandy, from $3.5 million to $2.999

/

59 Dandy Drive, Cos Cob, on the market since July, has lowered its price. Expanded and renovated by these owners after paying $950,000 for what was pretty much a wreck in 2014; it was sold “as is”, which tells you all you need to know. I still don’t like the land, but there’s not much you can do about that short of bringing in dynamite and a tree clearing crew, and the town’s regulations don’t make that an easy process; in fact, they may prevent it entirely.

So it is what it is.

n.b.: Zillow’s Zestimate for this house is “$2,968,300” – these estimates just take the current asking price of a property and shave off a few bucks to make them appear to be true, accurate assessments. They aren’t.

New Listing on Porchuck

/

99 Porchuck Road, $3 million. Zillow “Zestimates” it at exactly $2,989,200, which sounds quite scientific, but if you rely on Zillow for pricing, you deserve what you get.

It sits on a 4-acre lot, almost all of which is in a steep canyon and pretty much unusable. A previous owner tried to sell it as land for $3.8 million (tee hee hee) from 2004-2005, but eventually lost to it strict foreclosure in 2017 after legal proceedings that began in 2009 (!). Local builder Peter Thalheim bought it from the bank for $762,500 in 2018 and constructed a perfectly fine house on the buildable section — Peter builds a good house — and after trying for $2,095,000 in 2019, sold it 481 days later to the present owners for $1.545 million; given the quality of the land, that seemed about right at the time.

Now it’s back (after being rented out in 2025) for $3 million. There have been no improvements to the interior, and the lot remains a substandard one, to my eye, so has it appreciated that much in six years? Zillow says it has, I have my doubts. We’ll see.

Now , here’s an immigrant I wouldn't give two cents to; just load her on a plane, one-way

Carnegie Mellon professor on leave as her disturbing X posts call for ‘white man’ to die while she dances

Who recruited her to Carnegie Mellon, and why was she allowed to stay?

A hate-filled Carnegie Mellon University professor is on a leave of absence as the school probes her “hostile and threatening” social media history, which included calling for a “white man” to die while she danced.

Dr. Uju Anya, a Nigerian-born academic who has worked at the elite Pittsburgh research institution since 2021, initially bragged about being untouchable over her hateful online history, which has included wishing Queen Elizabeth II an “excruciating” painful death and celebrating the death of “s–tbag” Charlie Kirk.

The school issued a statement announcing the investigation and noting she was on a “voluntary” leave a day after her vile response to a critic who challenged her over a hateful, years-old post in which she’d celebrated Rush Limbaugh’s death went viral on Friday after Elon Musk called her out.

“Rush Limbaugh finally did something positive in life by dropping dead. Good Riddance to bad rubbish,” she wrote Feb. 17, 2021, the same day the conservative radio icon lost his battle to lung cancer.

A user who found it asked her Friday, “Weird how you only celebrate the deaths of white people. Why is that?”

She venomously responded, “Die first, white man, then ask yourself why I’m dancing.”

The response caught the attention of Elon Musk, who shared the post from her account, which has since been deleted.

“This is a real professor at Carnegie Mellon University …,” he wrote, prompting internet sleuths to ferret out and archive other hateful posts by the academic.

Anya taunted those calling her out and threatening to inform her employer, claiming that the university knew all about it and had courted her for a job.

“Carnegie Mellon University knows exactly who they have. They poached me from my previous job, aggressively recruiting me with a massive salary and stellar benefits. So baby, run tell them they f–ked up, and see if they pick up your call,” she wrote.

She went so far as to brag that the university — where her bio describes her as “a scholar of language learning and Black experiences in multilingualism” — was aware of the complaints but ignoring them.

“Keep crying, loser. My department chair just texted me saying they’re throwing all of your emails in the trash,” she wrote, punctuated by three laughing emojis.

But hours later, the university posted the news on its website and X that Anya “is currently on voluntary professional leave from the university and not teaching courses on our campus this year.”

…. More of her social postings were unearthed, including one in August 2022, a month before Queen Elizabeth II died, in which Anya preemptively celebrated the monarch’s passing.

“I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating,” she wrote.

She also marked the first anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk by writing, “May he rot in piss,” calling him a “s–tbag” and sharing a repugnant video of sick students mocking him with a dance meant to pantomime his grisly death.

Before making her Instagram private and cutting off any communication or replies, Anya attempted to paint herself as the victim.

“During an entire day of incessant violent threats, racist abuse, and harassment on Twitter — incited by fascist white supremacist MAGA trolls — I was doxxed. I reactivated my account to protect my family,” she wrote on the platform, where her bio describes her as, “audacious, professor, feminist, lesbian, maker of good trouble, mom, and Sirry’s wife.”

Anya emphatically stated she had no regrets for her prior postings and was not sorry in the least.

“I meant every word I said in my tweets responding to white men and all others insulting and maligning me. I do not retract or apologize. May they all eat s–t,” which she then signed “Dr. Uju Anya.”

In a rambling Medium post last July, Anya referenced some of her past social media controversies, seemed to take pride in the fact that two university administrators had told her “my behavior embarrasses Carnegie Mellon and damages its reputation.”

Rather than reflecting on the earnest feedback of her employer, she went right for the institution’s throat.

“Yet again, we are told that Carnegie Mellon University’s association with faculty and students who publicly engage in uncivil discourse damages its reputation, but there is no talk of how my employer’s association with rapists, dictators, genociders, and baby bombers damages its reputation. So, I ask, who is disgracing whom?”

This is who the institution recruits, and what they teach.:

Modern Languages Welcomes Three New Hires

The Department of Modern Languages at Carnegie Mellon University is delighted to welcome three new, talented members to our team:


Uju Anya
Associate Professor of Second Language Acquisition

Uju Anya joins us from Pennsylvania State University where she was an Assistant Professor of Second Language Learning for the Department of Curriculum and Instruction and a Research Affiliate for the Center for the Study of Higher Education. Anya brings her expertise on topics relating to anti-Black racism in world language curriculum and instruction as well as strategic translanguaging and multilingual practices in language education. Anya has a prestigious history of publications; her book Racialized Identities in Second Language Learning: Speaking Blackness in Brazil” (Routledge 2017) earned the 2019 American Association of Applied Linguistics award for outstanding first book, and her co-edited volume, “Racial equity on college campuses: Connecting research and practice,” is forthcoming this year.  As a founding member of the Pennsylvania State University College of Education Equity Team and the Equity, Justice, & Sustainability Roundtables Faculty Collective, Anya has a proven dedication towards topics concerning social justice.

“I’m looking forward to seeing how my students navigate challenging, often uncomfortable discussions on the impact of sexism, xenophobia, racism, homophobia, and elitism on our experiences in multilingualism,” said Anya. “My message is come as you are. The language learner as a whole human being is the focal point of almost everything we will be covering in my courses," said Anya.

At Carnegie Mellon University, Anya will teach courses such as, “Race, Gender, Sexuality, and Social Class in Second Language Learning,” “Theories of Language Learning and Teaching,” and “Hip Hop and Funk Discourses of Black Womanhood in Brazil and the US.”

74 Rock Maple Road has taken another price cut and is now at $6.995 million instead of its May kickoff price of $7.950. Perhaps the owners have taken a lesson from the previous sellers, who began in 2020 at $5.995 million and stubbornly held to that price for 442 days until finally selling it to these owners for $5.650 in 2022.

(They might get a sweeter reception here if they used the Rock Maple’s other name, “Sugar Maple” as the address. Just a suggestion.)
