– This article about the closure of the Psychiatric Center for Children and Adolescents in Spokane and a suicide that it might have prevented is rough, but worth the read.

– Trans kids can still play sports in Washington.

– The state budget may be more cruel to homeless people in right of ways than it is currently.

– Did you know, you can contact your legislators and members of Congress? It’s true!

    Only 72 hours ago QoS McHillbilly assured us that the “Tesla Takedown” was working. At that time TSLA shares were at about $238.

    Ah, what a difference three days makes:

    Quote
    As of Apr-25-2025 11:35 a.m. ET

    $281.98
    $22.47 ( 8.659%)

    Bid x Size
    $281.96 x 2
    Ask x Size
    $282.00 x 2

    I don’t think that even Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit has been that wrong, that quickly.

    Months or a year from now TSLA shares might be up, or down, from current levels. I don’t know, and neither does QoS McHillbilly. But what we each do know is that the Tesla Takedown is a silly effort by silly liberals so that they can feel better about the outcome of their silly decisions about the health of Joe Biden and the competence of Boxcheck Momala.

    Tesla call buyer realizes 27% same-day gains
    THE FLY

    Apr-25-2025 8:00 a.m. ET

    Notable profits for the buyer who lifted the $8.25 offer for 2,934 Tesla (TSLA) 5/2 weekly 260 calls yesterday at 12:28ET when underlying shares were trading at $254.19. Shares closed at $259.51, and the calls at $10.44 for a mark-to-market profit of 27%, or $643K, on the $2421K outlay.

    Meanwhile, had one sold 1,000 TSLA shares short upon QoS McHillbilly’s Tuesday morning recommendation, one would have a paper $43,000 loss over three days. Not including interest on the borrowed shares, at a minimum of 8% per annum

    Homosexual murder of a child, which apparently occurred during an attempted sex act:

    Authorities declined to state the manner in which the boy was killed. However, the charges against Garcia Aquino include a special circumstance allegation of murder during the commission or attempted commission of lewd acts with a child, making him eligible for the death penalty.

    BREAKING NEWS
    Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan arrested, charged with 2 felonies in ICE case

    Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested April 25 by federal authorities and is being charged with felony counts of obstruction for her role in helping an undocumented immigrant avoid arrest after he appeared in her courtroom last week, officials confirmed.

    The illegal alien POS she was helping to avoid ICE was charged with beating the shit out of his girlfriend.

    The charges include modifiers for domestic violence that could subject him to additional punishment if he is convicted.
    …
    The complaint alleges Flores-Ruiz punched another person 30 times, then struck a woman who tried to break up the melee.

    Now, if he had fucked a 13 year-old boy to death instead I suspect the judge would have even laid down covering gunfire to help him escape.

    Elmo’s wholesale slashing of entire departments of the federal government and elimination of services they provide netted a savings of just 0.173% of the 2025 budget.

    I said at the very beginning that DOGE would never acheive any meaningful savings and that it was never the point. From the outset saving taxpayer’s money was never the objective.

    Now Elmo has quit and DOGE is being wound down.

    4,
    As of eleven minutes ago, the most recent PACER update, the federal criminal charges have not yet been made available.

    The judge has made first appearance before a magistrate to respond. The U.S. Marshall’s service is giving statements to the media about charges before those charges have been filed. FBI Director posted a Tweet about the charges but later deleted the tweet. The arrest took place at the county courthouse in or near her chambers as confirmed by other county judges.

    Much of what the Nazi Fucktard is claiming here is based upon tweets, originating from Kash Patel, since deleted. In the federal system criminal charges do not exist until they have been entered into the public record in a public proceeding. That proceeding just finished 11 minutes ago. Moreover, sharing details about allegations attendant to charges that do not yet exist is not just inappropriate and probably a violation of the law. It’s wild that DOJ is targeting and arresting state judges inside their chambers. It’s not at all wild or the least bit surprising that they are fucking themselves in the ear whilst doing so and probably breaking the law.

    This judge appears to have a very good attorney who is capably and appropriately responding to her charges (whatever they may be) at this point. Admitting absolutely nothing. Expressing deep regret to the court about having been arrested. Saying nothing more.

    Meanwhile the Attorney General, the FBI Director, and the US Marshall’s Service are putting the media on blast before charges even exist.

    Volkswagen overtakes Tesla as the #1 selling EV line on Europe.

    Yup. Although the # 1 seller in Europe is still the Model Y and the # 2 seller in Europe is still the Model 3.

    So why did VW overtake Tesla?

    • VW ID.3, which is a puny vehicle that would lose a 0-60 race to a Toyota Prius. But it works for Europe, just not for the US, as VW has no plans to market it here.
    • Audi Q-tron. VW owns Audi (and Porsche), each of which make luxury-category vehicles, which Tesla does not.
    • Skoda Enyaq, a SUV model, owned by VW.

    I suppose if Tesla were to acquire Rivian there might be a similarity to using multiple vehicle manufacturers under one ownership to claim a sales crown.

    Enjoy this. No, really. When Smartcar makes an EV to compete with the ID.3, VW sales will drop, but VWs choice to sell a small vehicle allows you to slam Tesla for not taking the bait.

    Meanwhile, VW is totally exposed to DJT47 tariffs, as its entire Audi line sold in the US is manufactured in Mexico, and its best-selling vehicle in the US, the Tiguan SUV, is also made in Mexico.

    I doubt Tesla is worried about VW.

    Unilever Funds Terrorism in the Middle East

    Unilever is probing the finances of Ben & Jerry’s charitable foundation with a focus on its grants to progressive and pro-Palestinian groups, including to an organization with ties to two of the foundation’s trustees, people familiar with the matter said.
    …
    Unilever has given the foundation between $1 million and $6 million annually since it bought Ben & Jerry’s in 2000. The nonprofit funds hundreds of left-leaning groups.

    Unilever executives have privately identified a series of grants to the Oakland Institute, a nonprofit that promotes global aid and is critical of the World Bank and Israel, the people said.

    I own a bit of Unilever, for now. Sold covered calls will probably pull those shares away from me in May and in August. But if I still own them when Ben & Jerry’s is spun off into its own corporation, I’ll dump those shares immediately.

    The shares will be scooped (see what I did there?) up nearly as quickly, by Mrs. Dumbfuck Rabbit. Why? Because the spinoff company will be named Magnum. Mrs. Dumbfuck Rabbit thinks her BBC friends will get a kick out of that.

    It’s wild that DOJ is targeting and arresting state judges inside their chambers.

    QoS McHillbilly, is it wild that the judge led the POS illegal alien criminal womanbeater into her jury room and let him escape from there?

    Dugan is accused of escorting the man, Eduardo Flores-Ruiz, and his lawyer out of the courtroom through the jury door on April 18 as a way to help avert his arrest, according to an FBI affidavit filed in court.

    The affidavit quotes the courtroom deputy as having heard Dugan say words to the effect of “Wait, come with me” before ushering them into a non-public area of the courthouse. The action was unusual, the affidavit says, because “only deputies, juries, court staff, and in-custody defendants being escorted by deputies used the back jury door. Defense attorneys and defendants who were not in custody never used the jury door.”

    …is it wild that the judge led the POS illegal alien criminal womanbeater into her jury room and let him escape from there?

    It is not.

    Criminal courts, overseen by judges, are independent institutions of the government, not obligated to any party that comes before them. That fundamental premise is critical to the establishment of a functional legal system. In order for individual parties to have confidence that they can come before a court and be expect to receive justice they must be convinced that the court is independent and unbiased with respect to the questions and the individuals who appear before the court.

    Here in the United States we have things called warrants that are described in the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution that must always precede the “seizure” of any person. Courts have fixed addresses and hours of operation. Judges have offices, bailiffs, staff, phones, email, and U.S. mail service. It’s probably the easiest thing in the world to deliver a warrant to a county judge in order to obtain their cooperation in effecting a lawful arrest.

    It doesn’t sound as if these federal law enforcement agents ever had a warrant. But if they did it seems they never bothered to serve it to the people presiding over the premises where they wished to execute it. Maybe soon will learn that they did obey the law, in which case the judge should have respected the arrest warrant and granted them access to her courtroom and her chambers. But I won’t hold my breath.

    And I can assure you that if you Fucktard Nazis come to my place of business and attempt to gain access without producing a warrant you’ll get no cooperation from me. And if you refuse to produce a valid warrant, and I happen to escort a client out of my offices by an alternative entrance, I will not have broken any law, federal or state. If you arrest me I’ll gain pretrial release. I’ll pursue criminal discovery. I’ll determine who gave the unlawful orders to violate my Constitutional rights, including any state rights violations. I’ll get justice.

    Because it doesn’t matter who does something like that. It’s unlawful. It’s a violation of the Constitution. It’s criminal. It’s unethical. And I know how to obtain a remedy.

    And I’m willing to bet that Milwaukee County criminal court judges know at least as much as I do.

    Once again, I’ll reitterate the problem facing the fascists – a problem brought upon them not by “durtee liberals” but by the legal requirements of the United States Constitution.

    Most of the time, when ICE agents execute an arrest of a person they are investigating and targeting for deportation it is without any kind of lawful warrant.

    ICE agents frequently and routinely produce their own “warrants” that are merely administrative records identifying a named individual. There is very dubious legal reasoning to support the validity of the instruments in carrying out an arrest. But the federal courts have granted ICE this authority but limited it to the physical arrest and detainment of the named individual only. Because the Constitutional rights of other parties may be and frequently are implicated, the use of such administrative “warrant” forms as documents to support the forced entry into private places of residency, business, or even government buildings has been ruled inadequate to meet the requirements set forth in the Fourth Amendment, and such entry is unlawful.

    ICE is butt sore about this. Because they are lazy, incompetent, and bad at their jobs, they don’t wan’t to get real warrants. They often can’t really correctly identify the people they are targeting. They frequently fuck this stuff up, as we are now learning with all these cases of native born U.S. citizens winding up in prolonged detention following arrest supported by a shitty ICE administrative “warrant”. But if they can’t gain entry into your kid’s public elementary school to kidnap five-year-olds they might be forced to do actual law enforcement tracing down the dangerous criminal immigration violators they are meant to be going after. That scares them. And if you’ve seen ICE agents you know why. Many are double dipping retirees with fat guts, bad knees, poor eyesight, and alcoholism. They talk a big game about MS-13. Then they patrol the parking lots at Home Depot.

    But their lazy incompetence and unfittness for law enforcement work does not excuse them from following the Constitution. And they should never be granted access to private places of business, residency, worship, or civil affairs without a valid warrant.

    Fuck off and come back with a warrant are the eight most legal words in the English language.

    “On or about April 17, 2025, an authorized immigration official (NOT A JUDGE) found probable cause to believe Flores- Ruiz was removable from the United States and issued a warrant for his arrest.”

    Just like I said, ICE issued themselves an administrative “warrant” that no state court and no private or public place of business is obligated to respect or uphold. Judge Dugan declined to cooperate with butthurt ICE fat asses. And for that it appears she has been arrested. What she did is not a crime if they did not present a valid warrant. And the FBI agent swearing out the affidavit in support of Judge Dugan’s arrest has made a sworn statement that it was not a judicial warrant.

    The bourbon fog has rendered the Nazi Fucktard unable to read a calendar.

    Judge Dugan was arrested and charged this morning after FBI Director BongWater began his since deleted Tweet storm of obstrution. Her arrest and charging hearing were based on a criminal complaint filed yesterday for a crime the government alleges she committed on April 18th. Even as described in the criminal complaint I don’t see anything in Judge Dugan’s conduct of that morning that meets the criminal statutes being charged.

    No, a criminal complaint sworn out by any witness is not a criminal charge. No, a warrant is not anything at all like a criminal complaint. No, an ICE administrative “warrant” is not a valid, Fourth Amendment warrant issued by an Article 3 judge. No private party is obligated to respect it, nor grant the holder of such a warrant access to any persons or places in the control of that private party.

    According to the government’s own affidavit the judge referred the ICE fat asses to the court’s chief judge, which was the established protocol to avoid disruption to court proceedings., She then returned to her court and advised Mr. Flores- Ruiz about the presence of ICE fat asses, escorted him from her courtroom through an alternate egress, whereupon he departed from the courthouse in the company of both his attorney as well as a member of the ICE arrest team who rode the elevator with them.

    Instead she actively assisted the POS woman-beating illegal alien in evading ICE.

    Too lazy to read his own FAAACTS!!!!!

    Anyone who likes can read the affidavit. I’m sure the Judge assigned this piece of shit will. When Mr. Flores-Ruiz exited the courtroom he reentered the same public hallway where plain clothes DEA agents and FBI agents were waiting for him. And one of them even accompanied him in the elevator. Followed by another DEA agent and two FBI agents in another elevator. Flores-Ruiz and his attorney exited the building through a public entrance in the company of four federal law enforcement agents assigned to the arrest team.

    @4 “The illegal alien POS she was helping to avoid ICE was charged with beating the shit out of his girlfriend.”

    The reasons why she might have done that include:

    1. The guy is innocent of those charges until proven guilty.
    2. More importantly, as a judge, she wants people to show up for their court hearings, and doesn’t want Trump’s goons stalking her courthouse and driving them away.

    You see, dumbfuck, it isn’t about “helping a POS,” it’s about upholding and protecting certain principles that form the core of rule of law. And yes, I’m well aware that the concept of “principle” is something neither you nor Trump will ever understand.

    @11 Judges are not immune from arrest or prosecution. While it’s rare, judges have been prosecuted for various crimes. Maybe this judge was trying to help the illegal, or maybe she was miffed by ICE’s heavy-handed tactics under Trump, but more likely she was just protecting the courthouse as a place where people could get fair trials without being intercepted by mask-wearing men in the hallways. Unless it can be proven she was actually sheltering the illegal to prevent his detention by ICE, between her and ICE, I’d rate ICE as the less innocent party in this case.

    Doctor Dumbfuck is a one-dimensional, one-sided, one-trick pony. Show him Jan. 6, 2021, and he sees no evil. Put a criminal charge in front of him, and he sees only the accusation, not due process or any flaws in the evidence. He’s not blind, but he wears blinders, and sees only what he wants to see. He’s superficial, uncritical, and unthinking. In short, he’s a soccer ball for us to kick around.

    A passage from “They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45”, an interview with a German after WWII.

    Each act, each occasion, is worse than the last, but only a little worse. You wait for the next and the next. You wait for one great shocking occasion, thinking that others, when such a shock comes, will join with you in resisting somehow. You don’t want to act, or even talk alone; you don’t want to “go out of your way to make trouble.” Why not?—Well, you are not in the habit of doing it. And it is not just fear, fear of standing alone, that restrains you; it is also genuine uncertainty.

    Uncertainty is a very important factor, and, instead of decreasing as time goes on, it grows. Outside, in the streets, in the general community, “everyone” is happy. One hears no protest, and certainly sees none. You speak privately to your colleagues, some of whom certainly feel as you do; but what do they say? They say, “It’s not so bad” or “You’re seeing things” or “You’re an alarmist.”

    And you are an alarmist. You are saying that this must lead to this, and you can’t prove it. These are the beginnings, yes; but how do you know for sure when you don’t know the end, and how do you know, or even surmise, the end? On the one hand, your enemies, the law, the regime, the Party, intimidate you. On the other, your colleagues pooh-pooh you as pessimistic or even neurotic. You are left with your close friends, who are, naturally, people who have always thought as you have.

    But your friends are fewer now. Some have drifted off somewhere or submerged themselves in their work. You no longer see as many as you did at meetings or gatherings. Now, in small gatherings of your oldest friends, you feel that you are talking to yourselves, that you are isolated from the reality of things. This weakens your confidence still further and serves as a further deterrent to—to what? It is clearer all the time that, if you are going to do anything, you must make an occasion to do it, and then are obviously a troublemaker. So you wait, and you wait.

    But the one great shocking occasion, when tens or hundreds of thousands will join with you, never comes. That’s the difficulty. If the last and worst act of the whole regime had come immediately after the first and smallest, thousands, yes, millions, would have been sufficiently shocked—if, let us say, the gassing of the Jews in ’43 had come immediately after the “German Firm” stickers on the windows of non-Jewish shops in ’33. But of course this isn’t the way it happens. In between come all of the hundreds of little steps, some of them imperceptible, each of them preparing you not to be shocked by the next. Step C is not so much worse than Step B, and, if you did not make a stand at Step B, why should you at Step C? And so on to Step D.

    And one day, too late, your principles, if you were ever sensible of them, all rush in upon you. The burden of self-deception has grown too heavy, and some minor incident, in my case my little boy, hardly more than a baby, saying “Jewish swine,” collapses it all at once, and you see that everything has changed and changed completely under your nose. The world you live in—your nation, your people—is not the world you were born in at all. The forms are all there, all untouched, all reassuring, the houses, the shops, the jobs, the mealtimes, the visits, the concerts, the cinema, the holidays. But the spirit, which you never noticed because you made the lifelong mistake of identifying it with the forms, is changed. Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed. Now you live in a system which rules without responsibility even to God. The system itself could not have intended this in the beginning, but in order to sustain itself it was compelled to go all the way.

    Suddenly it all comes down, all at once. You see what you are, what you have done, or, more accurately, what you haven’t done (for that was all that was required of most of us: that we do nothing). You remember those early morning meetings of your department when, if one had stood, others would have stood, perhaps, but no one stood. A small matter, a matter of hiring this man or that, and you hired this one rather than that. You remember everything now, and your heart breaks. Too late. You are compromised beyond repair.

    44,

    There exists no legal authority to gain entry into non public places of government administration, including but especially courts of law, without a valid warrant. Read the affidavit accompanying the charges, sworn to by an FBI agent assigned to investigate. She clearly states that ICE fat asses produced an administrative warrant they signed themselves, that was never presented to or approved by any judge.

    And she never sheltered anyone. She offered a different means of exiting her courtroom that led into the very same public hallway where the ICE arrest team was waiting. That’s her legal prerogative. It’s her courtroom. As surely you know courtrooms are not public spaces. They are private spaces of the public administration of justice presided over and controlled by judges. They can exclude anyone they like at any time. Without a valid warrant the ICE arrest teams must respect that just like any other private space, including private homes, private businesses places, private places of worship, etc.

    And finally there was no “chase” arising from the judge’s lawful conduct. According to the affidavit accompanying the criminal complaint, the waiting members of the arrest team immediately apprehended the individual they sought, and thereafter accompanied him to the exit and arrested him outside. Their “chase” is a media fabrication by MAGA drug addicts arising only because ICE fat asses don’t know how to conduct these kinds of arrests. Four undoubtedly overweight and incompetent senior DEA and FBI agents so nearing retirement that they get assigned to lend credibility to these grubby ICE kidnappings, presented themselves to their younger, fitter and probably faster target and announced their intention.

    That’s on them for not maintaining fitness and for using poor tactics. It’s got nothing to do with the judge they blame out of shame and humiliation. She didn’t order them the Super Size fries or the extra Stuffed Crust and pizza sticks. She didn’t fill that whiskey flask they carry on their hip. She didn’t make them stupid fat asses.

    No question about it, beginning with the 1972 Munich massacre, through Achille Lauro, intifidas, suicide bombings, and the October attacks, Palestinian militants have committed many hideous terrorist acts. But they are not the Palestinian people, who have to be accommodated somehow.

    The actions of West Bank settlers and IDF aren’t helping, and are equally repulsive. Maybe they deserve each other, I don’t know, but it’s silly to pretend the Israelis are the good guys. There are no good guys in the Middle East.

    It is this Court’s finding that Respondents’ Response and testimony was replete with
    conclusions, declarations, and accusations, completely and wholly unsubstantiated by anything meaningful in the record. Respondents have been unable to convince the Court by even a preponderance of the evidence, let alone clear, unequivocal, and convincing evidence required, that Petitioners Sanchez Garcia and Sanchez Puentes are members of Tren de Aragua, and therefore has not shown this Court that they are properly designated “alien enemies” under the AEA pursuant the TdA Proclamation.
