Two “Utah Men” Arrested For Trying To Blow Up Bomb Near Where Charlie Kirk Was Murdered

Just your average Utah men, you know

Magna man arrested for threat of terrorism after explosive device found underneath news media vehicle

A Magna man has been arrested on multiple charges related to weapons of mass destruction and the threat of terrorism after a federal investigation led to the evacuation of multiple homes in the area on Friday. The investigation followed the discovery of an explosive located underneath a news media vehicle in Salt Lake City.

Adeeb Nasir, 58, was arrested in Salt Lake County on Sunday on two counts of weapon of mass destruction – manufacture/possess/sell/use, a first-degree felony; attempted aggravated arson, a first-degree felony; four counts of explosive/chemical/incendiary – possessing parts, second and third-degree felonies; and two counts of threat of terrorism – use of weapon/hoax mass destruction, a second-degree felony.

On Sept. 12, members of the Salt Lake City Police Bomb Squad and Unified Fire Authority Arson/Bomb Squad responded to a suspicious device located in Salt Lake City. The device — an incendiary device — had reportedly been placed underneath a news media vehicle parked next to an occupied building.

The device had reportedly been lit but failed to function as designed, police said. Authorities confirmed that it was determined the incendiary device was real.

That’s a weird Mormon name. The other is Adil Justice Ahme Nasir, 31

Both suspects, including Adeeb Nasir, were found at the residence and arrested. Squad members cleared the home and found two hoax weapons of mass destruction inside, along with two firearms and illegal narcotics.

When questioned about the devices, both suspects reportedly told police that they were real. As a result, all law enforcement personnel executing the search warrant evacuated the residence and began proper procedure to dispose of the devices. Neighboring homes were also evacuated.

“The initial FBI search warrant authorized the seizure of evidence specifically related to the incendiary devices,” arrest documents state. “However, during the course of executing that warrant, law enforcement personnel observed additional contraband and evidence of crimes outside the scope of the original warrant, to include firearms and firearm-related items, explosives and explosive-related components, illegal narcotics and associated paraphernalia, as well as electronic devices reasonably believed to contain evidence of the above-described crimes.”

Hmm

Due to use of illegal drugs, Adeeb is a restricted person with a protective order against him that prevents him from possessing firearms. The second suspect, identified as “Adil,” is also a restricted person due to illegal narcotic use.

What’s the over/under that they are either illegal aliens/fake asylum seekers or refugees let in? I mean, it’s not like Utah is a hotbed of Islamic people.

Media Upset That Ghouls Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s Assassination Being Fired

Yeah, remember this?

Harvard University Cancels Kyle Kashuv
A social media mob successfully persuades Harvard to rescind the admission of a conservative Parkland survivor.

Harvard University has rescinded its offer of admission to Kyle Kashuv, a Parkland survivor and conservative teen activist due to racist comments he made several years ago in group chats with other Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School students.

Yeah, the left went after him because of his Wrongthink. And, there are some other examples, but, not a lot, and you really do not get the cancelling over death threats from the Right, because there just aren’t that many. Cancel culture has run rampant on the Left, even against their own, and now they’re getting a taste of it from the right

People are getting fired for allegedly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder. It looks like a coordinated effort

Dozens of social media posts and messages about the murder of Charlie Kirk, including some that celebrated his death, are being spotlighted by conservative activists, Republican elected officials and a doxxing website as part of an online campaign to punish the posters behind the messages.

Prominent far-right influencer Laura Loomer, a US senator, and a site called “Expose Charlie’s Murderers” have all drawn attention to people who have posted messages about Kirk’s Wednesday assassination.

The campaigns show how social media posts or personal messages — even by accounts with few followers or from people who are not public figures — could easily be surfaced and publicized, and people’s personal information can be spread across the internet at a time when doxxing is easier than ever.

The Charlie’s Murderers site, whose domain was registered anonymously and which says it is not a doxxing site, claims it has “received nearly 30,000 submissions,” according to a message on the site’s front page on midday Saturday. Currently, there are a few dozen submissions published on the site. “This website will soon be converted into a searchable database of all 30,000 submissions, filterable by general location and job industry. This is a permanent and continuously-updating archive of Radical activists calling for violence.”

I mean, Loomer is a nutball, but, these posts are not “alleged”: they’re real.

Trump’s Next Anti-Crime Target? Memphis

Chicago is a mess, but, it’s just too dangerous for Trump to send in ICE and the National Guard. No reason to get into a war, and, really, if Chicago wants to have all that crime and shootings, let them.

Trump says National Guard deploying to Memphis, Tennessee, next amid anti-crime push

President Donald Trump announced on Friday that he would be deploying the National Guard to Memphis, Tenn., next as he continues his anti-crime initiative.

The president made the announcement during an appearance on “Fox & Friends,” adding that the deployment would not be limited to the National Guard and could include the Army if needed.

“Memphis is deeply troubled,” Trump said. “We’re gonna fix that just like we did Washington.”

Trump admitted that he would have “preferred going to Chicago.” The Trump administration has recently clashed with Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson over possible National Guard deployment to the Windy City.

Trump told “Fox & Friends” that both Memphis Mayor Paul Young, a Democrat, and Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, were on board with the plan to have the National Guard sent to what’s known as the Bluff City.

There was a lot of talk about the crime rate is at a 25 year low

Overall crime is at a 25-year low, with robbery, burglary, and larceny also reaching 25-year lows. Murder is at a six-year low, aggravated assault at a five-year low, and sexual assault at a twenty-year low.

These declines reflect focused strategies and collaboration. In recent years, MPD has launched initiatives focused on fugitives, violent repeat offenders, auto theft, and traffic enforcement, while strengthening partnerships with local, state, and federal agencies.

That’s good, but, the crime is still absurdly high. Neighborhood Scout ranks them a zero, meaning they are safer than 0% of other US cities (100 is best). There aren’t that many zeros. The violent crime rate is 26.05. The national median is 4. You have a 1 in 38 chance of being a victim. Property crime is 86.85, with the national median being 19. A 1 in 12 chance of being a victim. Hope you don’t like having possession of your car. Or being attached to your stuff.

Blue states shunned the National Guard. Tennessee governor is taking a different approach.

…

And Memphis may just be the start — GOP governors have shown a willingness to lean on the Guard to aid in crime fighting and deportation efforts. Before it was declared the next target on Friday, Trump had suggested he would dispatch the Guard to New Orleans — which GOP Gov. Jeff Landry celebrated. Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders this week detailed the Guard to assist in immigration enforcement in Little Rock and Fayetteville. In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott has routinely sent the Guard to police the border, and in June authorized 5,000 troops in anticipation of protests against deportation raids.

Tennessee Republicans view the entrance of the Guard in their state as an opportunity to sharpen their attacks on Democrats over crime, an issue that remains one of the GOP’s biggest strengths.

“Why these blue state governors would act like dumbasses and not welcome the federal help to reduce the crime for their own citizens is beyond me,” said Tennessee Sen. Brent Taylor, a Memphis-area Republican who has long requested federal intervention in his city. “When it comes to the crime issue, blue state governors are as useless as a milk bucket under a bull.”

Let’s not forget that Memphis is a Democrat run city in a GOP state. Memphis has had only one Republican mayor (briefly) since 1968. In fairness, current Memphis Mayor Paul Young is still a little squishy, but, he’s a far sight better than most of his Democrat brethren, especially since he has been hearing from Memphis residents. And he may very consider that reducing crime is a good thing, even if it means working with Trump.

This could also be dangerous, because there are lots of gangs, at least 48, including Bloods, Crips, Gangster Disciples, Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), and Vice Lords. And a newer one, AOB (All Off the Blade), which is even more violent than MS-13.

Permanent Drought Out. Flash Drought In

Remember all those times the climate cultists yammered about permanent droughts? And then a few years later things went back to normal or got all floody? The doomsday cult now has a solution

‘Flash droughts’: How climate change increases the risk of these short-lived but devastating events

Transcript: (WT note: this comes from an audio recording)

In 2012, spring in the Midwest warmed up early. Corn farmers planted their crops ahead of schedule, and the growing season looked promising.

But then in May and June, almost no rain fell. The extremely dry conditions stunted plant growth and devastated crop yields.

Ford: “By the time we got to mid-July, it was a really dire situation. … So that’s just a matter of maybe six weeks or so where we go from, ‘Yeah, everything’s good,’ to ‘We’re really in trouble.’”

Trent Ford, the Illinois state climatologist, says what happened in 2012 is called a flash drought.

It’s when a lack of rain, paired with hot temperatures that boost evaporation from soils, creates drought conditions that intensify quickly.

As the climate warms, flash droughts are growing more common in many areas – even in places like the Midwest that are also seeing more heavy downpours.

So, just short term droughts that come on quickly and then go away

Ford: “And then we’ve also had some recent flash droughts in the southeast U.S., parts of Tennessee, Carolinas. … That area, of course, is very heavily vegetated, and when it dries out, it creates a lot of fuel for wildfires.”

So although flash droughts may be shorter-lived than the prolonged droughts that plague the Western U.S. and other very dry regions, they can cause major damage.

Will this notion of flash droughts catch on in the Credentialed Media as a doomsday talking point, replacing permanent drought? Time will tell.

Appeals Court Says Planned Parenthood Ghouls Can Be Blocked From Medicaid Money

The US taxpayers shouldn’t be paying for irresponsible women to have abortions (yeah, and the men where irresponsible, as well. But, they can’t get knocked up). If they want to pay, let them. And Planned Parenthood makes more than enough yearly without government money

Trump administration can stop Medicaid spending to Planned Parenthood for now, appeals court rules

A federal appeals court is allowing the Trump administration to move forward in its plan to stop providing Medicaid reimbursement to large abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, for now.

The 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals gave the order on Thursday, while appeals continue over the legality of the section of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tax and spending cuts bill law passed by Congress that restricts Medicaid funding.

The appeals court said the Trump administration can halt the funding, overriding a lower court that blocked it from doing so.

The Trump administration argued, successfully, that the congressionally approved law should go into effect while appeals courts, including the Supreme Court, weigh it.

The Medicaid determination will go into effect based on whether a health care provider is providing abortions as of October 1 and receives more than $800,000 in Medicaid payments in a year.

Seriously, the duly elected Legislative Branch passed the law, which in no way violates the Constitution, especially since the Constitution has no provision to provide any private entity money nor provide Medicaid.

“We will continue to fight this unconstitutional law, even though this court has allowed it to impact patients,” Planned Parenthood Federation of America President and CEO Alexis McGill Johnson said in a statement. “Patients who rely on the essential health care that Planned Parenthood health centers provide, can’t plan for their futures, decide where they go for care, or control their lives, bodies, and futures — all because the Trump administration and its backers want to attack Planned Parenthood and shut down health centers.”

I’ve still not seen where PP provides a substantive Constitutional rationale, they just keep screeching “unconstitutional!” If Congress can give private entities money they can also deny them money.

Bummer: Reports Say There Will Be 1.6 Million Fewer “Immigrants” In The US

The phrase Politico is looking for is “illegal aliens.” Heck, they aren’t even going with something like “undocumented Americans”

1.6M fewer US immigrants expected this year amid Trump, GOP policies, CBO predicts

President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, along with those in the GOP megabill enacted this summer, will significantly reduce the number of immigrants in the United States in the coming years, Congress’ nonpartisan scorekeeper estimated Wednesday.

The Congressional Budget Office now predicts that total net immigration will be 1.6 million people smaller this year than it projected in January. Contributing to that downward trend, the Republican tax and spending package Trump signed into law in January is estimated to result in the removal of 290,000 immigrants and the voluntary exit of 30,000 others over the next five years.

What the budget office has not yet calculated is how stemming the influx of immigrants will affect the federal budget. Those estimates are expected next year.

On the upside for Trump and congressional Republicans, cooling immigration is expected to shrink federal spending. But there are negative counterweights for GOP leaders too: Namely, foregone cash from taxes.

The number seems rather low. I guess we’ll have to see how many actually get deported and how many self deport. Also, remember that the border is not being overrun with illegals and fake asylum seekers. There are very few encounters, and most are not being let in.

New USCIS ‘Special Agents’ Will Be Given the Power to Arrest, Use Deadly Force Against Immigrants

On September 5, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the agency established by Congress to adjudicate immigration applications, made a startling announcement. For the first time since the agency was created in 2003, the agency will create a new class of “special agents,” who will be authorized to carry firearms and arrest people for both civil and criminal immigration and non-immigration violations.

This drastic change in the agency’s mission will instill fear in applicants seeking lawful status with USCIS, further pushing individuals who do not have clear-cut eligibility into the shadows, directly impacting our safety and security. The vagueness of the new rules also creates a lot of uncertainty for U.S. citizens and American businesses sponsoring family members and foreign talent, as well as for the lawyers representing individuals with difficult cases.

If they’ve gone through the standard legal channels, there is no worry. If they are illegal/fake asylum seekers, well, just self deport. Make it easy on yourself.

And things are ramping up in Chicago

It’s worth going and reading the whole DHS thread, which highlights many of the illegals caught, all sorts of very bad people. Who Democrats want to defend.

Bummer: UK Panel Finds ‘Climate Change’ Not Much Of An Issue

It’s kinda hard to be Concerned (theoretically) about climate doom when there are so many more important issues, which is why the cult typically polls low when matched against real world issues. It is much harder when the Powers That Be who are pushing the scam are also increasing those problems

‘There are bigger issues in the world today than global warming’

They may not have known it but the five men and five women sitting around the table in a slightly soulless hotel meeting room off the A41 had been carefully chosen.

All were swing voters but critically none had extreme views in either direction on the subject that they were there to discuss: climate change.

The Times gathered this focus group in Watford — and another in the West Midlands — with the research firm Public First to replicate a project first carried out by The Times in 2021.

The question we wanted to answer was: Have the views of swing voters towards global warming and the government’s plans to tackle the issue changed in the intervening period.

It is a question that has increasing political pertinence as the longstanding cross-party consensus on net zero is fraying and the next election is likely to be fought with two major parties — the Conservatives and Reform — arguing against large parts of the net zero agenda.

Four years ago we found the public convinced of the need for action to tackle climate change, prepared to do their bit (up to a point) but worried about the cost. But what about now?

Yeah, now

I wish they had a link to the previous article so we could compare and contrast, but, I can’t find it

But then Khuram, 35, broke the consensus.

“I think there’s bigger issues right now going on in the world, in our own lives,” he said bluntly. “Maybe we look for our kids or grandkids or whatever, but I think really, if there’s people starving today, it’s probably worth spending money on that.”

He added: “There’s more going on in my daily life. If the weather’s good outside I think great, at least the weather’s good today.”

It was as if the dam of what was politically acceptable to say among strangers had burst.

How many of these people are seeing rising crime and their nation taken over by immigrants, especially Islamists? Not happy about arrests for Mean Tweets?

“It’s not a top priority,” said Thomas, 40. “What annoys me with it is a bit like Covid, where the government said, this is what you’ve got to do and they sort of did their own thing.

“So even with climate change, they’re happy to go on their private jets and get where they need to. It’s a little bit hypocritical.” Others agreed.

I’m always happy when people wake up and notice this

It’s not a huge change, but, it is a change away from the climate cult. And they teach this hard in the UK. Their media and politicians go hard on it. The cult is dying.

Supreme Court To Hear Arguments On Trump’s Tariffs

Is it a good thing or bad thing that SCOTUS has agreed to hear arguments so quickly?

Supreme Court says it will hear Trump appeal on tariffs in key economic case

The Supreme Court said Tuesday it will quickly decide whether most of President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs — a key part of his economic agenda — are legal.

The revelation follows the Trump administration’s request for the nation’s highest court to take up its appeal of a lower ruling. The Supreme Court placed the case on a fast track and scheduled oral arguments for the first week of its November session.

The White House defended Trump’s tariffs as a legitimate use of presidential powers to protect the economy in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“We look forward to ultimate victory on this matter with the Supreme Court,” wrote White House spokesperson Kush Desai.

A federal appeals court ruled on Aug. 29, that Trump overstepped his authority by using emergency powers to impose new tariffs on imported goods. The court said that power lies squarely with Congress or within existing trade policy frameworks. The court allowed the tariffs to remain in effect until mid-October.

Quite frankly, I’m not sure who I want to win on this. You hate to give Democrats a win against Trump, especially when the point of tariffs is meant to be punishment and reciprocal against all the nations that have tariffs on US goods imported into their countries. But, on the flip side, does the president really have the authority to implement them? It really should be something that Congress should have to pass. Has Congress truly given the Executive authority? Also, considering Biden utterly blew off the Supreme Court on student loan bailouts, Dems should be quiet in the front.

As I’ve said, what Trump should have done was threaten tariffs then negotiate with countries first. Gone to Congress and see if he could get agreement with Republicans and enough Dems to institute reciprocal tariffs, or at least similar. Not like we can charge a 25% tariff of orange juice from Canada. But, what about shoes, where they hit US goods with a 30% tariff? Why do countries get butthurt when the US imposes high tariffs when they do the same?
