DREW PAVLOU: Yesterday marked the 8th anniversary of the ISIS terrorist killing of Colonel Arnaud Beltrame in France. He volunteered to exchange himself for a young female hostage held by a jihadist gunman at the Trรจbes supermarket in Southern France.

Thank you to J. Michael Waller

Paganism making inroads in the Oklahoma legislature

Thank you to J. Michael Waller for this post. 

from Jim Shaw, Oklahoma representative,

Today the House advanced HB3660, a bill to legalize the use of composted human bodies as fertilizer. If this bill is put into law, Oklahoma joins 14 BLUE states that have legalized this process. So, instead of outlawing this type of practice outright, we’re on track to take the use of humanure as fertilizer another disgusting step forward.

The guy who says that human composting is an acceptable practice on behalf of the people of Oklahoma is Eddy Dempsey, the Assistant Majority Whip.

Paganism is making inroads in the Oklahoma legislature [Hinduism, Buddhism, and other ancient religions]. I guess if you can view people's value as more of a biological, bacterial agent to grow something else, well then any group, above ground projects would come to viewed as meaningless, right, and make it a lot easier to desecrate people or slaughter them en masse.

TOM LUONGO: One of these days people here on twitter will realize that this story, the JCPOA, ZIRP and NIRP, Sequestration to gut the military, the Climate Scam and yes, the border invasion all culminates in Trump’s current foreign policy operations, most especially Iran.

JARED TAYLOR: None of this white male stuff. That's for lab rats. You're a white man

I've made this point repeatedly.  Note how scientific terms enjoy re-classifying things and people into some scientific, a pseudo certain classification, like man to male?  Just as Taylor says, that's for lab rats.  Don't let the Left conduct lab or language experiments on you.  You're either a man or a woman.  Lot more pride in these terms than in lab classification that reduce you to sex only.

JOHN "TIG" TIEGEN: Yes, the U.S. tilted toward Iraq after Iran’s 1979 hostage crisis and revolution. The goal was to contain revolutionary Iran and protect Gulf oil routes.

Thanks to John TIG Tiegen,

Oh wow, a licensed attorney dropping the “U.S. gave Saddam the chemical weapons” greatest-hits meme like it’s fresh evidence in court.

Counselor, you bill clients for actual proof, right? So maybe glance at the declassified docs before you hit send: Here’s the accurate history (from declassified U.S. documents): • Yes, the U.S. tilted toward Iraq after Iran’s 1979 hostage crisis and revolution. Reagan removed Iraq from the terrorism sponsors list, shared satellite photos of Iranian troop positions, provided limited battlefield intelligence, and offered some economic/diplomatic help. The goal was to contain revolutionary Iran and protect Gulf oil routes. Declassified CIA files (released 2013) confirm officials knew Iraq was using chemical weapons and continued the tilt anyway. • No, the U.S. did not supply chemical weapons.
Iraq built its entire chemical weapons program primarily with European suppliers German companies (Karl Kolb and others) were the main source, along with firms from the Netherlands, Austria, France, and Egypt. This is documented in 1990s U.N. inspections, German court records, and the National Security Archive’s “Shaking Hands with Saddam” collection.
A few U.S. companies sold commercial pesticide precursors (dual-use) under export licenses, but the State Department began blocking or restricting them once Iraq’s chemical attacks were confirmed in 1983–84. The U.S. never provided chemical agents, munitions, or delivery systems. • “Hundreds of thousands killed” is inflated.
Iraq did use mustard gas, tabun, and sarin against Iranian human-wave attacks. Iranian and U.N. estimates put total chemical-weapons casualties (dead + injured) at roughly 50,000–100,000 over the 8-year war. Direct deaths from CW were in the low tens of thousands (often 2–5% fatality rate per attack). The war’s overall death toll (~500,000–1 million combined) was overwhelmingly from conventional weapons. U.S. policy in the 1980s was cynical realpolitik many historians (and even some Reagan officials later) criticize it as morally questionable. But claiming America “aided Iraq with chemical weapons” to mass-murder Iranians turns intelligence sharing into a false conspiracy. You skipped the part where facts > vibes, apparently. As a lawyer you should know better than to repeat TikTok history with the confidence of a guy who just passed the bar on vibes alone.

Next time bring exhibits, not memes. The court of public opinion still has standards.
