The über-lovely and talented Sophie Cunningham and …uhhh, lemme see here…what the everlovin’ blueyed…erm…Republic of Texas AG and gubernatorial candidate Ken Paxton?!?
As Jack Nicholson so memorably quipped in the criminally-under-appreciated film Goin’ South, “what the hell, fine by me.”
Texas AG Ken Paxton sends message to WNBA amid ‘concerns’ over treatment of Sophie Cunningham supporters
EXCLUSIVE: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton expressed cautious optimism about the WNBA’s treatment of Sophie Cunningham’s supporters Thursday while reaffirming his commitment to keeping biological males out of women’s sports.Paxton attended the Indiana Fever’s game against the Dallas Wings at American Airlines Center with his daughter Mattie. The two wore matching XX-XY shirts as women’s sports advocates rallied outside the arena before the game.
When asked whether Cunningham’s supporters had received fair treatment from the WNBA, Paxton stopped short of condemning the league.
“Look, I think they’re working on it,” Paxton told Fox News Digital. “I have concerns … but I’m hopeful that things are getting better in that regard.”
Paxton answered a question on whether he would become involved if supporters face unfair treatment, saying he was “looking” into the issue. He did not indicate any plans for any formal action.
“Look, we’re looking at it,” Paxton said. “We wanna make sure that they are treated fairly”
Paxton’s measured response came after Cunningham supporters raised concerns about their treatment at WNBA games in multiple cities. The league recently acknowledged that security personnel should not have instructed a mother and daughter to cover their XX-XY shirts at an Atlanta Dream game.
“This should not have happened,” the WNBA said in response to that incident.
Paxton showed little willingness to compromise on the underlying issue.
“In Texas, we know what we’ve passed,” he said. “We have laws here that protect against men in women’s sports and boys in girls’ sports, and it’s pretty important to, I think, the people of Texas.”
As it’s “pretty important” to all sane, reasonable people everywhere. As my gal Sophie herself said after this foolish non-troversy—yet another of those 80/20 issues that a certain pathological criminal syndicate masquerading as a political party finds itself on the 20 percent side of—went wide: “It’s just common sense.”
Just hitch up your Big Boy britches, square your shoulders, and ‘fess on up to it: when she’s right, she is one hundred and fifty-leven percent fucking-A RIGHT. And as I learn more about this woman, I am starting to feel somewhat awed by how often she IS right, I must say.
Oh, and while we’re discussing dream teams here…A-HENH!

DeSantis Signs Sweeping Law Mandating Anti Communist Lessons Across Florida Schools
Florida students will soon receive classroom instruction on the atrocities and expanding threat of communism under legislation signed Wednesday by Gov. Ron DeSantis.The requirement covers every grade from kindergarten through 12th grade.
Senate Bill 1264 directs public schools to provide age appropriate lessons about communist regimes, their victims, and the dangers posed by the ideology.
The curriculum is expected to present historical facts that too often receive a convenient gloss from the academic left.
“We might as well give them the truth when they are in our schools because a lot of these universities… teach how great communism is,” DeSantis said at a press conference in Hialeah.
The governor argued that students deserve an honest account before reaching universities where radical professors may portray communism as a noble experiment that simply went wrong.
Florida is choosing facts over fashionable excuses for failed regimes.
The new law requires lessons to highlight communist atrocities and the ideology’s “increasing threat.”
Those subjects include the brutality, political repression, economic ruin, and loss of individual liberty associated with communist governments around the world.
I do declare, the more I see of this DeSantis dude the more I like the cut of his jib. As I have repeated here so many times I’m sick of hearing myself say it, there is no chance whatsoever of repairing and restoring this badly broken nation until we retake control of the mass indoctrination centers I usually refer to as the government schools from the malevolent Leftist curs currently running them.

@BabyD1111229Woo hoo! 👏🏻A Texas constable just unplugged every Flock surveillance camera in his county and told the company to come get its garbage out of a free society.
Hood County Precinct 2 Constable John Shirley refused to wait for another empty study or corporate promise.
He and his team went out, disconnected the entire network of license-plate readers, covered them, and shut the system down cold.
“Today is a good day for the Freedom of the people of Hood County,” he posted.
He explained that he had finished the job of shutting down the county’s Flock cameras, which had been completely unplugged and covered.
Those devices were constantly scanning and recording regular people just going about their day, and that kind of permanent, warrantless tracking does not belong in a free society.
Every drive past one of those devices meant a person’s license plate was captured, time-stamped, and stored in a searchable database without any warrant or suspicion.
This created constant logging of ordinary Americans as they went to work, church, or the store.
Shirley made the principle plain when he stated that by unplugging and covering them they were making it clear that privacy is not optional and mass surveillance is not how things are done in Hood County.
He described the action as what limited government looks like and stressed that people there should not have to wonder if every trip they take is being logged and stored.
He expressed pride that this real win for the citizens had been accomplished.
He then delivered the final blow by telling Flock Safety Systems to come get their garbage out of his county.
This decisive stand comes at the exact moment reports have already exposed dozens of cases where officers abused the same network to stalk private citizens.
The company’s CEO admitted they could have done more earlier, yet the cameras keep spreading and turning daily life into permanent digital records that can be searched at will.
Once this infrastructure blankets the country, the temptation to misuse it never disappears.
Constable Shirley has proved that one determined official can still push back and win.
Hood County has drawn the line, leaving the question of whether the rest of America will follow before the watching becomes so normal that freedom itself feels like a memory.
Demand the same action in your county and share this widely, because the surveillance net is already tightening while one Texas lawman has just shown how to start cutting it.
Good on ya, sir. Sure am glad to see there’s at least one American lawman in this ugly era with his head screwed on straight, his heart in the right place, and unafraid to let his conscience be his guide.
Might she be the new Sydney Sweeney?

GOD, how I love this woman. If you don’t feel the same way, you’re just a gottdamned un-American shitheel gooberhead, that’s all. Sophie is beautiful, sexy, fearless and indomitable, and eminently sensible, with good instincts and a finely-calibrated bullshit detector. The girl is as all-American as they come, with all those fine qualities and more rolled up into one sassy, smoking-hot package. I ask you, people: what’s not to like here?

@brockpiersonOFFICIAL PRACTICE REPORT
The newly self declared WNBA roster of Enes Kanter Freedom, Royce White, Brock “Briana” Pierson, and Will “Willamina” Van Booraem completed our first closed door practice session this morning.
Key findings:
- We outrebounded the imaginary opponents 47-3
- The coaching staff asked us to “tone down the testosterone”
- Three of us requested larger sports bras. One of us requested a smaller one for “aerodynamics”
- Hormone levels remain “under active investigation”
- The league’s “fairness” committee has been notified that biology is still under review
We are also issuing the following demands:
- Immediate removal of the “women’s” label from the league name (it’s exclusionary)
- Separate showers for the people who actually need them
- Guaranteed starting spots regardless of shooting percentage, footwork, or facial hair density
- A formal apology from anyone still using the phrase “biological male”
Women’s basketball is about to get taller, broader, hairier, and significantly more confusing for the people still stuck in 20th century science.
We’re not asking for inclusion.
We’re demanding a formal apology from anyone still using the phrase “biological male”.See you at tip off.
Of COURSE there’s a pic, and of COURSE it’s a scream.
I dont even like basketball, never have, but I gotta tell ya I am LOVING this.

The rest of the story:
Basin allegedly threatened to shoot the man’s wife and several bystanders.
A local man seen approaching in the background confronted Basin, knocked him out, then calmly told him to stop threatening people.
Police say Basin later pulled a knife and continued threatening people.
When officers arrived, he allegedly threw the knife into the ocean.
The same bystander swam out, recovered the knife, and handed it to police.
Basin was charged with two counts of first-degree terroristic threatening. Bail was set at $1 million.
Police say he has also been arrested in other assault and property-damage cases since May, and several people have obtained temporary restraining orders against him.
Sounds like another successful day connecting with voters on the campaign trail!
Hrm. No “solidarity,” no “solidarity” at all.

In this video, I speak to an illegal from Morocco who is getting cash, free healthcare, and more while Spain’s young people continue to not be able to afford homes.
I ask him if I could enter Morocco illegally and he said “no.”
Every illegal migrant I spoke to said they would vote for Sanchez until their death. This was about voting and if you watch the documentary, no other argument can be based in logic.
Nope, it surely cannot.
Remember the petition (I wrote about it here) calling for MammyJammy to be disinvited and disbarred from the 25th anniversary 9/11 memorial ceremonies coming up this September? Actress Patricia Heaton, bless her stout heart, certainly does.
Patricia Heaton Supports Petition to Ban NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani From 9/11 Event: ‘Keep It Going’
A petition to ban New York City Mayor Zohran Mamadani from a 9/11 anniversary ceremony has gained over 40,000 signatures, and it now has at least one celebrity supporter — Patricia Heaton.On Monday, July 27, the Everybody Loves Raymond alum, 68, reshared a post about the petition via X. “Keep it going New Yorkers,” Heaton wrote.
People were divided in the comment section, with one person advising Heaton to “stay out of politics,” while others supported her stance.
As Globe previously reported, the petition was created on July 9 by Giovanni Galante, who lost his wife in the September 11th attacks.
WhammyBammy really ought to have sense enough to realize, what with his numerous radical Mooselimb buddies, his blatant support of jihad, the vile Paleosimians, and every other Moslem-supremacist cause under the sun, he’d have to have a pair of truly gi-normous brass ones to even dream of showing his face at a place where he so clearly has no business being. Bad enough that he’s been allowed to roost in the lovely and historic Gracie Mansion as mayor—something I still can’t quite get my head around, frankly.
That would, of course, be Elon Musk.
A SpaceX intern once described eating lunch next to Elon Musk in the company cafeteria.
The intern said Elon sat down at a regular table with a regular tray of food. No entourage. No reserved section. He sat next to two junior engineers who were clearly terrified. One of them was explaining a problem with a valve component to the other.
Elon listened without introducing himself or interrupting. After about three minutes he turned to the engineer and said “have you tried running it at a lower pressure gradient first.” The engineer stared at him. Then realized the CEO of the company had just casually solved a problem his team had been stuck on for a week.
The intern said what happened next was the part that surprised him. Elon didn’t leave. Didn’t check his phone. He spent the next twenty minutes asking the engineers questions about their work. Not CEO questions about timelines and budgets. Engineering questions about fluid dynamics and material stress tolerances. He was genuinely curious. The cafeteria conversation was indistinguishable from a technical review.
The intern said he understood in that moment why people work 80-hour weeks for this man. Not because he’s inspiring. Not because he pays well. Because he’s the only CEO in the world who sits in the cafeteria and solves your engineering problem between bites of a burrito.
People follow leaders who are above them. People worship leaders who sit next to them and prove they understand the work better than the people doing it.
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: muchos kudos to the esteemed Mr Musk, for all he is and all he does. We’re fortunate indeed to have him.
Update! Ooops, forgot the X link earlier. Here t’is, with my humble apologies for the oversight.
Updated update! Did I mention Elon’s proven penchant for just telling the plain truth, without fear, favor, or hesitation? Because I really wouldn’t want to leave that bit out.
Search for “traitor” on X this week, and one man will flood your timeline: Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.
The reason? Shocking images of thousands of migrants from Morocco crossing the border and flooding into the Spanish enclave of Ceuta. The head of the association that represents Spain’s Civil Guard officers in Ceuta told the Associated Press that the border had “totally collapsed.” After watching video footage of migrants breaking through fences to get into the city, one would be justified in using the word “invasion” to describe what’s happening. Indeed, Santiago Abascal, the leader of the rising populist/conservative Vox party, called it just that and wrote that “Pedro Sánchez is its main promoter and guilty of all its consequences.”
Their gratitude to the Socialist prime minister is due to his mass amnesty plan, which received 1.2 million applications by its June 30, 2026, deadline. As I wrote in So, How’s Spain’s Mass Amnesty Working Out?, “Sánchez, of course, looks at every new immigrant as a potential future voter who won’t care about the mind-boggling corruption within his Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE). As increasing numbers of Spaniards take to the streets to demand the prime minister’s resignation, Muslim migrants are among his most loyal supporters.”
Elon Musk dubbed Sánchez something else: a traitor. After the prime minister defended his amnesty plan in April, Musk wrote on X, “Dirty Sánchez is guilty of high treason.” Sánchez responded cheekily at the time, “Mars can wait. Humanity can’t.”
For certain subspecies of mouth breathing Left-wing fucktards, yeah, that’s clever enough, I suppose.

Rubio’s Genius Move: Venezuela Quits the ICC. Another Country Follows.
On Friday, the Venezuelan regime’s current Foreign Minister Félix Plasencia announced that “interim president” Delcy Rodríguez had instructed him to express to the current UN secretary-general that Venezuela had made the “firm and irrevocable decision to denounce the Rome Statute and initiate its definitive withdrawal from the [International Criminal Court (ICC)], in accordance with Article 127.” He added:Venezuela considers that the Court’s actions reflect a demonstrated geographical bias, which has disproportionately concentrated its work on African and Latin American countries, to the detriment of the Global South. This pattern reveals an international justice system that, far from being applied equitably, has been instrumentalized to deepen inequalities among peoples and disregard their right to self-determination and sovereignty.
This bias is not a mere procedural coincidence, but the reflection of an institution that has placed its mechanisms at the service of interests alien to justice and the peoples it claims to protect. For this reason, we reject this dimension of lawfare, which perpetuates the persecution against the Venezuelan people and exacerbates the inequalities that international justice should correct. We reiterate our commitment to a genuinely equitable justice, respectful of the sovereignty and self-determination of peoples.
The United States State Department responded almost immediately on Saturday, welcoming the move and calling on all other members to follow the South American nation’s lead. It also pointed out that the court serves no real purpose, as it had been investigating Nicolás Maduro since 2018 with “no result.” Here’s more:
The United States welcomes the decision by interim President Delcy Rodriguez and Venezuela to withdraw from the ICC and the new Venezuelan government’s partnership on American-led efforts to dismantle the corrupt and worthless ICC. The so-called court has been ‘investigating’ Nicolas Maduro since 2018 with no result. The ICC has instead wasted its resources on investigating and charging persons from countries that have competent, independent judicial systems and which never submitted to the jurisdiction of the court. This is blatant overreach, political bias and selective enforcement. The ICC is neither credible, independent, nor legitimate. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and the efforts of brave American service members, Maduro is now facing justice in a U.S. court for crimes he has committed. It is time to dismantle the ICC. The U.S. calls on all members of the ICC to withdraw from the Rome Statute.
If you’ll remember, Marco Rubio came out a couple of weeks ago and basically told the ICC where it could go and said the United States will dismantle it “brick by brick, if necessary.”
Another heartfelt “attaboy” for America’s greatest SecState ever.
Meanwhile, the D卐M☭CRAT scum just keeps on lying and spinning, spinning and lying. Happily, Scott Jennings ain’t having any of that shite.
Scott Jennings Torches CNN Host for Downplaying Non-Citizen Voter Scandal
Sherrill said a software error dating back to June 2023, three years before she took office, improperly registered roughly 6,600 people to vote in New Jersey.About 400 of those people cast ballots, according to Sherrill. I said before that Sherrill’s admission was theater, a calculated release designed to make 6,600 bogus registrations and 400 illegal votes look like the whole story instead of the tip of it. The company she tried to pin the blame on isn’t cooperating with that script, either. The vendor pushed back on Sherrill’s version of events, arguing that verifying citizenship was ultimately the state’s job, not the software’s.
But, the left, which originally claimed things like this never happen, is now pushing the idea narrative that it’s such a small amount of fraud that it doesn’t matter anyway. That is exactly what CNN’s Abby Phillip claimed Tuesday night, and Scott Jennings let her have it.
Phillip spent much of the segment trying to convince her own panel that thousands of non-citizens voting in New Jersey didn’t amount to a widespread problem, sparring first with Manhattan Institute pollster Jesse Arm before enduring the wrath of Scott Jennings
“What’s your tolerance for this?” Jennings asked her.
Phillip pressed him on whether he considered the situation widespread rather than answering the question. Jennings didn’t blink.
“My bar is, I want no tolerance,” he said. “I have zero tolerance for this.”
You know, I know, Margolis knows, and Scott Jennings knows as well that the above numbers are but the tip of a VERY large iceberg; like fleas on a ol’ blue-tick hound, when you see one you automatically know that there are at least a hundred more you AIN’T seeing. Kudos to Jennings for once again refusing to just lie down like a good Vichy GOPer and let the shitlib “journalist” steamroll right over him.
Update! More on Amerika v2.0’s fake, phony, fraudulent “elections” from JF Cotto.
When China hit British voter data, the Biden-Harris team slapped on sanctions and charges. When Iran stole files on a mere 100,000 Americans, indictments followed. But 220 million American records in Chinese hands? Silence and stonewalling. That selective blindness tells you everything about priorities in Democrat circles.
In his remarks, Trump never claimed these breaches flipped election results. He exposed live vulnerabilities that enemies have both the desire and ability to use. That matters more than rehashing 2020 fights. Our systems remain exposed today, and pretending otherwise endangers every future vote.
Non-citizen voting gets waved away as tiny. Wrong. A Homeland Security check found roughly 278,000 non-citizens registered in just four cooperating states. Democrat-run states blocked access to their rolls, so the real total runs far higher. Every illegal ballot cancels a legal one. That is illegal disenfranchisement of American citizens.
Evidence of fraud gets buried too.
In Michigan, Democrat-linked canvassers forged registrations for fake people and earned gift cards for volume. The Biden-Harris Justice Department dragged its feet for years.
Mail-in voting? Decades of studies flag it as risky. A bipartisan commission called absentee ballots the biggest source of potential fraud. Massachusetts Institute of Technology data shows fraud hits harder through mail than in person. Polls captured voters admitting to illegalities. The Heritage Foundation catalogs case after case of stolen, forged, or coerced ballots.
This pattern of manipulation did not start yesterday. Democrats have urinated on democracy for more than a century to cling to power. Sometimes with horrific results.
Like all too many others, Dr Cotto’s damp-eyed prescription for taking care of all this sick D卐M☭CRAT hoodoo is to VOAT HARDERER!© at them, rather than the shooting, hanging, throwing off of tall buildings, running over with a Killdozer, and general lynch-all-liberals approach I prefer. His closing question, however, is perfectly apt and on-point.
