Comer Says No

John Hinderaker:

“Democratic House members Robert Garcia and Maxwell Frost, apparently hoping to cash in on the popularity of El Savadoran gang member and human trafficker Kilmar Abrego Garcia, applied to the House Oversight Committee, of which they are members, to fund a visit to El Salvador to visit him. Committee Chairman James Comer responded with the letter that is reproduced below.”

It is absurd that you both displayed active hostility for over two years toward the Committee’s oversight of the Biden Border Crisis and the consequences of millions of illegal aliens entering the country, yet now, you are seeking travel at Committee expense to meet with foreign gang members.

Just so. Joe Biden’s enticing of ten million illegal immigrants into this country was the greatest violation of the rule of law in American history, and the Democrats have nothing to say about it, except to continue applauding lawbreakers.

Chairman Comer concludes:

You may be pleased to know that a Democrat Senator, Chris Van Hollen, was photographed just yesterday in El Salvador enjoying margaritas garnished with cherry slices with the foreign gang member your letter references. If you also wish to meet with him, you can spend your own money. But I will not approve a single dime of taxpayer funds for use on the excursion you have requested.

Mind you, Chairman Comer may simply have been trying to protect Rep. Garcia from an unpleasant experience within the walls of the prison he wanted to visit; then again, maybe that is why he wanted to drop by. Here’s Mr. and Mrs. Garcia on their wedding day:

Anyone hear about this from the media or the Democrats?

Negotiated wholesale prices for graded loose eggs are steady to weak on light to moderate demand for light to moderate offerings. Supplies are moderate and sufficient for trade needs on moderate trading. Wholesale prices for national trading of trucklot quantities of graded, loose, White Large shell eggs gained $0.06 to $3.13 per dozen with a weak undertone. The wholesale price on the New York market for formula trading of Large cartoned shell eggs delivered to retailers held steady at $3.72 per dozen with a steady to weak undertone. In the major Midwest production region, wholesale prices for Large, white, shell eggs delivered to warehouses decreased $0.10 to $3.65 per dozen with a weak undertone while prices paid to producers for Large cartoned shell eggs declined $0.10 to $3.43 per dozen.

Of course, there’s always an exception, and of course, it’s always California, where regulations have driven the price of gasoline to $2 above the national average (and where the last two refineries in the state are being drive out). The Golden State has forbidden the import or sale of non-cage-free eggs, and the prices, paid by celebrities and the poor alike (lots of the latter — California leads the country in them, too) are still high enough to satisfy even Kathy Hochul.

The California benchmark for Large shell eggs declined $0.36 to $5.49 per dozen with a weak undertone. Delivered prices on the California-compliant wholesale loose egg market decreased $0.33 to $4.65 per dozen with a weak undertone.

Whoopi Goldberg Falsely Claims Egg Prices Have Not Fallen ‘One Cent’ Since Trump Took Office

April 9, 2025:

“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg falsely claimed on Wednesday that egg prices have not fallen by “one cent” since President Donald Trump took office, though they have dramatically fallen in recent weeks.

Egg prices have fallen 44% since the start of 2025 after prices had soared to record levels under former President Joe Biden’s administration, according to Trade Economics. Despite the significant fall in egg prices, Goldberg claimed that she has not seen these prices fall in any way, shape or form.

“[Trump] did promise to lower the price of groceries, I have not seen an egg fall one cent since this man got in,” Goldberg said, prompting co-host Sunny Hostin to falsely say they are going up.

Just the facts, Ma’ams:

The average cost of eggs amounted to $6.41 on Jan. 21, Trump’s first full day of his second term, according to Trade Economics. Prices decreased from an average of $8.27 on March 3 to $3.23 as of Wednesday.

Egg prices rose from $1.46 per dozen when Biden first entered office in January 2021 to $4.14 in December 2024, the final full month of his presidency, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Bird flu, one of the other main causes of the egg price hike, killed a record number of 20 million egg-laying hens in the last quarter, which caused a rapid spike in prices.

USDA data shows that 108 million egg-laying hens have died since 2022, including 13 million in 2025. It is not clear how many of the birds died naturally or from culling to prevent the spreading of the virus. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed Biden and his Department of Agriculture for the “mass killing” of 100 million chickens for the rise in egg prices during a Jan. 28 briefing.

Yeah, that's the ticket, the media's flying monkeys are in the tank for Trump

Democrat Rep. Jim Clyburn blames mainstream media for party’s cratering support

Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-SC) is blaming the mainstream media for the Democratic Party’s cratering national support.

In an interview Friday on MSNBC’s The Last Word, Clyburn claimed the media was distorting political narratives– and that Dems are losing ground not because of the exceedingly leftward tilt of their message – but because the press isn’t properly telling its story.

“I think the message coming from the Democratic Party is a good message,” Clyburn said.

“The problem we’ve got is that we have to depend upon the media to deliver it.”

….

“If we have The Washington Post, for instance, caving to this wannabe dictator and we’ve got other media entities that seem to rather push a narrative that will bring eyes to their newspapers or to their television sets and not really give a fair hearing or reporting to what we’re doing,” Clyburn whined.

“A little bit alarming, but something people will understand if they hear it.”

The veteran lawmaker reserved praise for uber left-leaning MSNBC and Velshi’s coverage, calling it one of the few platforms offering substance over spin.

“That’s why I like coming on your shows on the weekends,” he said.

Clyburn ended with a shot at outlets that, in his view, let lies spread unchecked.

HAHAHAHAHA:

“That’s what’s killing us as Democrats,” he said.

“We don’t have a stomach for just lying.”

His vacation plan was … ill-advised

This week, FBI chief Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that they had arrested and charged a college student for bombing two Tesla Cybertrucks and destroying two Tesla charging stations in Missouri. It’s the second case this week in which a firebomber has been hit with federal crimes for his acts of political violence, which are being prosecuted under Trump 47. 

A college student was arrested by federal authorities in Boston after allegedly launching a Molotov cocktail at a Tesla dealership in Missouri while home on spring break.

Owen McIntire, 19, of Kansas City, was arrested and made an initial court appearance Friday in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts.

McIntire, a college student in Boston, was charged with unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device and malicious damage by fire of any property used in interstate commerce, according to court documents filed in the Western District of Missouri.

A Kansas City Missouri Police Department officer who was near the Kansas City Tesla Center March 17 saw smoke rising from a Cybertruck parked in the parking lot.

The officer also found a Molotov cocktail that was still in tact [sic] near the burning Cybertruck just before midnight, according to an affidavit.

Kansas City Fire Department crews responded to extinguish the fire, which had spread from the Cybertruck to a second vehicle in the lot, according to court documents. The Cybertrucks had sale prices of $105,485 and $107,485. 

Two Tesla charging stations were also damaged by the fire, each with an approximate value of $550.

Agents and forensic experts from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) recovered and analyzed key evidence, including Molotov cocktails allegedly used in the arson.

Authorities later found video footage of a person who they believe to be McIntire, wearing a large hat, lighting the devices and throwing them at the Cybertrucks before walking away.

The hat was later found by authorities near the dealership, with DNA evidence confirming it matched that of a man.

"Let me be extremely clear to anyone who still wants to firebomb a Tesla property: You will not evade us," U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement. "You will be arrested. You will be prosecuted. You will spend decades behind bars. It is not worth it."

FBI Director Kash Patel said the arrest was the second of the week for crimes targeting Tesla.

Free legal advice to college students intending to cut loose next vacation: if what you’re planning might attract the attention of both the head of the FBI and the U.S. Attorney General, you may want to rethink the project, and perhaps head down to a southern beach riot nstead.

(In Owen’s favor: he used a Brag Organic Apple Cider Vinegar bottle in the commission of the crime; if he’s lucky enough to have his case heard by an old, nostalgic hippie, he might get off.)

But wait, there’s more!

Another Alleged Tesla Bomber Is Charged—Aaaaand He Looks Like a Girl

Go figure: Miss Owen makes the fourth trannie to get caught firebombing Teslas — why is that?

In this case, a witness who got cellphone footage of the fire-bombings thought the person was female, because he was wearing a dress and a woman's hat. 

According to the FBI affidavit, the witness driving by saw the suspicious activity and slowed down to grab cell phone video. The witness “stated he slowed down and grabbed his phone and then noticed an individual in a black dress with black clothing underneath. They said the individual in black was tall, skinny, lanky and appeared to be a woman because of the long hair.”

….

McIntire is believed to have driven his relatives’ car, equipped with an electronic license plate reader, which was picked up on surveillance gear. And cops also tracked his cellphone with location tools. 

One of the charges McIntire faces could land him in prison for 20 years. Attorney General Bondi says there will be no plea bargaining down the charges. 

Why do so many of these Trantifa types engage in political violence? Is it basic mental illness, suggestibility, drinking the woke Kool Aid, or all of the above? 

“But is he a father? We’ll want to know that before initiating deportation proceedings.” Sen. Chris Van Hollen

Tren de Aragua gangbanger sobs to Florida cops after crew gets busted in $30K liquor store robbery run

A “violent” Tren de Aragua gangbanger broke down in hysterics after he and his buddies were busted for robbing a string of Florida liquor stores, cops said.

Ramon Jesus Carpintero-Luna, 26, sobbed like a baby to investigators with his hands cuffed behind his back upon realizing his alleged life of crime had finally caught up with him, the Polk County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday.

The illegal Venezuelan immigrant even dropped to his hands and knees and pleaded for his freedom when cops came knocking.

….

Carpintero-Luna was allegedly part of a four-person gang that had been pillaging more than three dozen liquor stores across central Florida — a violent scheme that raked in upwards of $30,000.

The  bandits would often rob the stores of their “scotch and high-end liquor,” at gunpoint,” cops said.

Samuel Oglis David Anthony Charle, 25, and Alexis Jose Rodriguez-Benavides, 27, are known Tren De Argua gang members, while Carpintero-Luna, Ildemaro Miguel Escalona Mendoza, 26, and Darwins Smith Vasquez Leon, 28, are considered associates, cops said.

All five illegally crossed the border and descended into a life of crime, making no pretense at finding honest work, according to Judd.

In early March, the group allegedly stormed a Sam’s Club in north Lakeland and stocked a shopping cart with 14 cases of liquor valued at $3,200 and made straight for the exit.

They rammed the cart into an employee who tried to stop them, before grabbing two cases of liquor and escaping into a silver Ford Focus, cops alleged.

The crew of alleged thugs didn’t make it far — their truck became disabled when they tried to drive it over a concrete curb in the parking lot.

The quintet ditched the car and ordered an Uber, affording themselves just a few more days of freedom.

Samuel Charle and Escalona Mendoza were arrested in nearby Osceola County for a different robbery, while the other three were cuffed April 17 after Polk officials obtained arrest warrants.

Because they are all illegal immigrants, they have been placed in ICE detainers.

The suspects have criminal histories including immigration violations, thefts, robbery, drug possession, resisting arrest, fraudulent use of and possession of personal identification, false reports to law enforcement, robbery with a firearm, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, domestic violence (listed as armed and dangerous), and driver’s license offenses, cops said.

Judd is pushing for the scotch bandits to be deported, a just punishment for the alleged gangbangers, he said referring to the picture of a tearful Carpintero-Luna.

Greenwich police: Man shot at windows of cars and homes with BB gun [or possibly a .22 rifle — Ed] in Putnam Hill area


GREENWICH — Greenwich police say they arrested a man who was shooting at the windows of cars and residences in the Putnam Hill and Putnam Park are with a BB gun.

Christopher Link, 58, was charged Monday with two counts of first-degree reckless endangerment, two counts of illegal discharge of a firearm and two counts of third-degree criminal mischief….

Police said they received multiple reports regarding damage to residential windows, vehicles and property that seemed to have been caused by BBs or other small caliber projectiles.

“A significant incident occurred overnight on March 26, 2025, when several projectiles struck an apartment window, some penetrating the glass and causing damage inside the residence,” police said.

Police said an analysis found that the projectiles came from the direction of Link’s apartment.

“Further investigation revealed similar damage to vehicles and residences in the immediate area, with multiple recovered projectiles, a .22 caliber bullet, and surveillance evidence linking the trajectory to Link’s apartment,” police said.

Weird guy.
