"He should realize that there can be no accommodation with regimes that either seek the destruction of the United States—China and Iran, for instance—or regimes helping such enemies—most notably Russia. "
So I just finished Kurt Schlichter’s new novel, The Attack.
It’s a fictionalized account of an October 7 style attack that takes place on a large scale in the United States.
It’s also a warning. In essence, Iranian terror experts use America’s open southern border to slip in thousands of Islamist fanatics, sleeper cells who are primed to attack specified targets on command...
They’re also equipped with web-linked cameras to stream their attacks, and the atrocities – rape, torture, etc. – that they perpetrate on their victims. Also meth to pump them up for the attacks.
When the day comes, they attack public places, schools, the Atlanta Zoo, and so on.
The next day, with the overstretched police trying to protect public places and ordering people to shelter in their homes, they go after suburban neighborhoods, again placing torture, rape, and dismemberment videos online.
On the third day, the remaining terrorists attack infrastructure targets – substation transformers, oil refineries, etc...
At around 2 am, they broke into the building that houses Center of the American Experiment and two other conservative organizations with which we often collaborate, along with many other businesses.
The arsonists set two fires: one was in the first floor corridor between American Experiment’s office and the space we sublease to Take Charge, Kendall and Sheila Qualls’ organization.
A second fire was set on the third floor, immediately outside or perhaps actually inside the office of the Upper Midwest Law Center, on whose board I serve. This photo shows what the corridor outside my office looks like:
If you were hoping that the United States would become a lawless society, you have now gotten your wish.
Some of the numbers that I am about to share with you are just mind blowing.
For example,
I had no idea that police in New York City were injured by criminals thousands of times last year... If you can believe it, the number of carjackings in Washington D.C. was up 97.9 percent last year…
Residents of the District of Columbia paid the sixth-highest amount on car insurance when compared to the 50 states in 2023 with an average annual full-coverage rate of $2,756 last year – which amounts to nearly $230 a month, according to a report by Insurify. The report found that Washington, D.C., residents’ car insurance premiums were 37% higher than the national average, which was $2,019 for a full-coverage policy, as national auto insurance rates increased by 24% last year...
Vehicle theft is even worse in some areas along the west coast...
The Israeli military has reportedly discovered underground tunnels beneath the headquarters of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees in Gaza City, according to the Times of Israel. The military went on to suggest that it has been used by Hamas militants to store electrical material.

As production of cattle has plummeted to its lowest levels in decades, a rancher is warning that Americans are "going to pay the price" for the beef supply hitting a crisis point.
"This is a bad situation for America's cattle farmers and America because we're producing 1 billion pounds less beef than we were in this country, just a year ago," John Boyd, Jr. – president of the National Black Farmers Association – said during a Thursday interview on "Fox & Friends First."
"...However, in an era of NIL payments for college athletes and constant roster turnover at Maryland and other programs because of the transfer portal, Locksley is witnessing first-hand just how absurd NIL demands have gotten for some players. In an interview with Ben Dickson of 247 Sports, Locksley voiced his frustrations with the NIL and transfer portal era.
Maryland’s head coach also provided a specific example of an unnamed third-string running back who insisted on a $100,000 NIL evaluation or he would leave the program.
“Because of this portal, NIL. Your third-team tailback coming in and saying, ‘I need $100,000 or I’m going into the portal.’ And you’re like, ‘Where does this magic $100,000 number come from?’ And it just, I mean, I sat in my office and every meeting I had was basically – and we’re seven wins and going to a bowl and taking the next step – but everything coming in was like, ‘I want this. I want that.’ And the greatest team sport has now become kind of individualized.”...
"Every day the Israeli Defense Forces find more proof of the perfidy of the UN and UNRWA.
Did you guess that the UN’s demand for a quick ceasefire wasintended to conceal this?
If so, you guessed right.
This week, among other things, the IDF discovered Hamas's Intelligence Headquarters and an enormous tunnel beneath UNRWA HQ in Gaza, equipped with a huge server and data farm which was receiving its electricity from UNRWA sources...
Indeed, tunnels and tunnel entrances and weaponry and sometimes even terrorists have been found in every UNRWA facility in Gaza...
It remains unclear if there will be a fix for the so-called “data broker loophole” that allows intelligence agencies, law enforcement agencies, and other agencies to purchase Americans’ private data through data brokers, which privacy advocates believe is a run around the Fourth Amendment.
“Intelligence agencies need a court order to obtain your data directly. But as usual, they look for any way to avoid scrutiny and skirt the law. The Deep State will go to any length to spy on the American people. The entire enterprise is rotten,” Rep. Dan Bishop (R-NC) said.
While you were Super Bowl shopping, did you notice smaller-than-usual products where the price stays the same?
Folks are calling it Shrinkflation and it means companies are giving you less for every dollar you spend.
I’m calling on the big consumer brands to put a stop to it.
Climate alarmism is built on a foundation of fake and misleading graphs and maps, which are then further misinterpreted to push a political agenda that has nothing to do with reality.
In a twist that sounds like it’s straight out of a satirical comedy, Sunny Hostin, a far-left progressive political commentator and a co-host of The View, experienced a jaw-dropping revelation on PBS’ Finding Your Roots.
