Loomer or Lunatic?

Milo appears to have dropped the bomb at which CDAN appeared to be hinting last week.

In fundraising emails, Laura Loomer tells her fans that she has been targeted by the FBI for political persecution. They’ve blacklisted her from owning a gun, she says, which threatens her physical safety.
But Loomer’s account misses out a critical detail: It’s not her politics, but rather her fragile mental state that prompted the Bureau to block her from possessing a firearm. Far from singling her out, the FBI has bent over backwards to gently explain to Loomer why she is not a fit person to own a gun.

For instance, a letter they sent her in 2020, in response to her appeal, delicately cited the two involuntary psychiatric holds her own father, Jeff Loomer, had placed her under in the prior half-decade. I know because I’ve seen the letter they sent her in response to her appeal. I have a copy of it in my safe in Los Angeles.

And I know because Jeff, at first reluctant to speak with me, but eventually, once again fearing for his daughter’s mental health this week, confirmed it by telephone on Friday. Jeff, evidently frightened of his daughter, spoke in hushed tones about her emotional volatility and admitted she had attempted suicide several times. “I wouldn’t allow her a gun,” he admitted.

Laura Loomer has been diagnosed at various times and by various doctors as suffering from bipolar disorder, histrionic personality disorder, borderline personality disorder, and narcissistic personality disorder. Loomer’s mother, whom we are not naming today, is an alcoholic, manic depressive and suffers from bipolar disorder, in common with her daughter…

Loomer has two brothers. One is a violent schizophrenic who is permanently incarcerated in a psychiatric facility. He will never be released. The other also suffers from depression and mood disorders, and has been in and out of institutions all his life. We are not naming either brother for the sake of their privacy.

I’ve had very little contact with Laura Loomer. We exchanged a polite email or two back in 2015; she reached out to me for some reason I do not recall but probably had to do with the Trump campaign. And while I didn’t pick up anything beyond her being a garden-variety conservative grifter of the Ben Shapiro variety writ small, I was very confused by her subsequent attempt to run for Congress, given that she didn’t appear to have any substantial following of any kind.

However, whether it is Laura Loomer, Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, or any of an increasingly long list of individuals who purport to be offering advice or guidance of some kind, who listens to these people? I’ve never heard any of them say anything that is even remotely insightful or intelligent. At this point, I think it is vital to view anyone who is elevated by the media and provided even neutral coverage has to be regarded with deep skepticism, and preferably, kept at a reasonably distance.

As for the idea that she is, or ever was, having an affair with Donald Trump… let’s just be polite and say it can be safely dismissed.

Another Assassination Attempt

It appears Clown World isn’t confident it can execute another election steal:

Former President Trump narrowly survived yet another assassination attempt after a sniper with a scoped AK-47 rifle got within a few hundred yards of him as he played golf at his West Palm Beach, Florida club on Friday.

It is the second time a madman armed with an assault rifle has tried to kill the 45th president in two months.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said the suspect had taken cover near a chain-link fence between 300-500 yards away from Trump, but conceded, “with a rifle and scope like that is not a long distance.”

Law enforcement sources told The Post that the suspect is 58-year-old Ryan Routh of Hawaii.

He had set up a GoPro camera on the fence with the apparent intent of recording the shooting.

A Secret Service agent first spotted the suspect as he stuck the barrel of his rifle through a chain link fence on the outskirts of Trump International Golf Course West Palm Beach South. The agent, who was a golf hole ahead of Trump, opened fire on the suspect — who then fled the scene, Bradshaw told reporters Sunday night.

It’s a very good thing it wasn’t the Secret Service detail from the last attempt on duty. At this point, why not lock it down? Trump doesn’t need to be out exposing himself to the public in order to win.

He Had it Coming

A horrific case of lethal lutrinaphobia in Washington:

Horror erupted at a Washington marina when a child was dragged off of a dock and into the water by a territorial river otter.  The unnamed child, who was taking a stroll with his mother on the dock, was suddenly dragged off by a river otter in a rare attack at Bremerton Marina in Kitsap County on September 12.

The mother bravely fought back to get her child out of the water once they resurfaced. But the otter was unrelenting and bit the child in the arm as they were lifted into the air. The otter continued to chase them down the dock until they were out of harm’s way.

I think we all know that the “unnamed child” was obviously to blame. No otter would ever attack anyone without severe provocation that absolutely required action. It was clearly a case of justifiable assault, and what a tragedy that a noble otter should be hunted down and executed for merely defending himself and his territory. #TeamOtter

Reading the Tea Leaves

I strongly suspect Vance will soon be out as Trump’s VP, and will presumably be replaced by RFK Jr.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he will campaign with former President Donald Trump and his surrogates in battleground states after suspending his presidential bid last month and backing the GOP presidential nominee.

“We’re planning a Make America Healthy Again tour where we’re going to visit almost all of those states,” Kennedy said Wednesday on NewsNation. 

“So, I will be doing rallies in each of those states over the next 61 days,” he continued. “We want to, if we’re going to accomplish the mission that I set out to accomplish when I got into this campaign — end the censorship, end the surveillance, to get out of the Ukraine war and unravel the war machine and the chronic disease epidemic — the only way to do that is to get President Trump in the White House and me into Washington. So we’re going to pull out all the stops to make sure that happens.”  

Remember, Trump never hesitates to fire people, probably because he is so terrible at vetting them in the first place. Vance not only isn’t helping him, he’s proving to be an embarrassment with all the political appeal of a bedraggled and soaking-wet mop.

I thought he was an absolutely horrible pick in the first place, and strongly suspect that he is a Gamma male, which indicates that he’ll either melt down under pressure or stab Trump in the back at some crucial juncture like Pence did.

We’ve already seen the Democratic candidate change, so the Republican VP candidate changing wouldn’t be a big deal in this bizarre “election” cycle, given that it’s very likely that none of the voting is dispositive anyhow.

Clown World “Democracy” in France

French President Emmanuel Macron refuses to accept the Parliament’s choice for Prime Minister.

Following consultations with the main political forces at the Elysée Palace on Friday and Monday, the head of state ruled out the appointment of Lucie Castets as prime minister, as demanded by the left-wing coalition.

According to Emmanuel Macron, “a government based solely on the program and parties” of the NFP “would immediately be censured by all the other groups represented in the National Assembly”. “The institutional stability of our country therefore requires that this option not be retained”, he thundered.
In the same text, the President of the Republic announced the launch of “a new round of consultations” starting on Tuesday with party leaders and “personalities distinguished by their experience in serving the State and the Republic”. A source close to Emmanuel Macron told Agence France-Presse on Monday evening that La France Insoumise, Rassemblement National and Eric Ciotti would not be invited to the new consultations.

Even before the announcement of Mr. Macron’s decision, the leaders of the Nouveau Front Populaire had announced that from now on they would only go to the Elysée “to work on the modalities of this cohabitation” with Ms. Castets at Matignon. None of the left-wing groups in the NFP coalition is therefore expected to go to the Elysée Palace on Tuesday.

All the left-wing parties have vehemently denounced Mr. Macron’s refusal to allow them to appoint a government, despite finishing top of the legislative elections. The national coordinator of La France Insoumise, Manuel Bompard, denounced on BFM “an anti-democratic coup de force that is being carried out on the basis of an argument that makes no sense”. “Emmanuel Macron’s communiqué is a disgrace”, said Marine Tondelier, National Secretary of the Ecologists. Communist Party national secretary Fabien Roussel felt that members of the presidential camp “don’t want the left and the ecologists to govern, they don’t want to respond to our citizens’ expectations for change”. “The Republic was born of the refusal of personal power,” wrote the Socialist Party’s first secretary, Olivier Faure, for his part, denouncing Mr. Macron’s decision.

In the evening, Manuel Bompard announced that a motion of impeachment against the head of state “will be presented by the Insoumis deputies to the bureau of the National Assembly in accordance with article 68 of the Constitution”, to oppose “an abuse of power”.

So, the Clown World “centrists” manipulated the electoral system to keep the nationalists out, and thereby handed the elections to the French Left. But, of course, they don’t want the Left to actually take power, because the Left is insane and will simply accelerate the process of turning power over to the nationalists.

Remember, this is the “democracy” that is supposed to be in demand all over the world. No wonder all the sovereign nations are looking at China and Russia and deciding that they’d better apply to BRICS.

RFK Endorses Trump

I’m not even paying attention to the fake horse race anymore. I largely stopped paying attention to what passes for US politics after the fake midterms of 2018 presaged the fake presidential election of 2020.

RFK Jr. endorses Trump as he suspends his campaign. The independent candidate’s exit will add yet another twist to the already chaotic 2024 race. Kennedy said that he’s suspending his campaign but remaining on the ballot in several states. He also said he was offered a role in a potential second Trump administration.

The independent candidate’s exit will add yet another twist to the already chaotic 2024 presidential race. Kennedy’s unorthodox views drew support from Democrats and Republicans. Both parties worried that he would be the biggest electoral spoiler in decades.

The presidential election remains incredibly close, and if even a fraction of Kennedy’s support moves to Trump, it could be decisive in swing states. “If you live in a blue state, you can vote for me without harming or helping President Trump or Vice President Harris, and red states the same will apply,” Kennedy said at the press conference. “But in about 10 battleground states where my presence would be a spoiler, I’m going to remove my name.”

I think there is considerable reason to doubt that any seemingly close election in the USA is genuine any longer. Democracy in the USA was always a strictly-limited illusion, but now it doesn’t appear to be anything more than pure theater.

Nick Fuentes Calls Out Tucker

He makes a VERY strong case that if either of them is a Fed, it’s Tucker Carlson.

If anyone has a transcript, send it to me, I’ll post it here. But if Tucker has any legitimacy whatsoever, he will extend the same courtesy that he previously extended to Ray Epps and Kevin Spacey and offer to interview Nick on his show. If he doesn’t, well, then it will be entirely obvious who the fraud – and presumably Fed – actually is.

Even Owen, who has had his differences of opinion with Nick, finds his argument persuasive.

This is an epic rant by @NickJFuentes. And as someone who has also been character assassinated when people can’t address my points I totally feel this frustration. He’s a smart dude and funny. And his takedown of tucker’s attack on him is very true and very deserved.

UPDATE: The epic rant. Thanks to M for providing the transcript.

I saw yesterday Ian Miles Chong, who isn’t even American, he has never even been on the land, he said that I’m a fed, and he says it’s not clear what Nick Fuentes wants other than the elimination of all Jews. I swear these people lie every day. They make up a new lie fabricated every single day. They say it’s not clear what he wants other than genocide, genocide. And that’s when you realize it’s coordinated. These people are shills. They will do and say anything. They will make up any lie to stop the American people from having a voice, because that’s really what it amounts to.

A Terrible Decision

While Walz was an even worse choice, I don’t doubt that President Trump is regretting his decision to choose JD Vance as his running mate.

Donald Trump is ‘lighting up’ his campaign staffers as he hunkers down at Mar-a-Lago after his ‘terrible’ decision to pick JD Vance as vice president, two former aides have claimed.

The former president’s reported meltdown comes from two staffers who worked in the White House under the former president and have since turned on him, as polls show the race with Kamala Harris is getting tighter by the day.

‘I think that he feels this election slipping away from him, and that’s where you’re beginning to see him spiral,’ Sarah Matthews, a former Trump spokeswoman told MSNBC.

Republicans and top donors are worried about Trump’s flailing strategy as he continues to launch vicious personal attacks on Harris and obsess over her personality instead of core policy issues such as the border, the economy and crime.

‘He picked Vance – he knows Vance was a terrible, terrible pick,’ Scaramucci said on the podcast The Rest is Politics.  ‘He’s lighting people up inside his campaign right now about picking Vance.’

Vance was a bad pick, regardless of what the political people said. SSH trumps all political considerations, and from the moment that I saw his fat face and fearful eyes, I knew that Vance was going to neither command admiration from men or attraction from women. This isn’t any ex post facto rationalization; I identified Vance as a probable Gamma from the get-go.

One area where Alphas regularly and reliably fail is the matter of succession. Usually, they fail by selecting a faithful Bravo to succeed them, in the hopes that their long mutual association will have resulted in the Bravo somehow picking up some of the Alpha’s vision and leadership abilities.

This never works. Bravos are not, and never will be, Alphas. The very skill set that makes them so compatible with Alphas, and so helpful to them, renders them incapable when forced to take the Alpha’s role at the top of the hierarchy. But Donald Trump, a definite Alpha, didn’t make the usual mistake in selecting his next Vice-President.

As it happens, he may actually have made a much worse one, at least in socio-sexual terms.

Throw in the fact that he’s a ticket-taker, and it’s such an obviously suboptimal selection as a running mate that it almost makes it look as if Trump is seeking to throw the election. Which assumes, of course, that the votes are even going to be counted with some semblance of accuracy.

Harris-Walz 2024

If the response of Minnesotans who are just slightly right of center are any guide, Walz is actually going to make things worse for the Harris campaign. Literally no one thinks well of him, and contrary to ignorant coastal opinions about a solid Midwestern guy who will do well across flyover country, Walz is a lunatic DFLer who is best known for putting tampons in the public school boys’ rooms at the behest of one of his tranny subordinates.

It’s been reported that the 12 previous choices all told Harris no, so it makes sense that she would finally settle on a man who otherwise would never had any hope of running for a national office. This might actually be a worse vice-presidential pick than Trump’s selection of JD Vance.

The Wall of Silence Failed

Bestselling author Larry Correia comments on cancel culture and Mr. Tubcuddle.

Speaking of cancel culture last week, why is it that most of the liberal authors who gleefully jumped on the slander bandwagon that I was a misogynist who wanted to keep women out of publishing (by my nominating a bunch of women for an award? Beats me. Run with it.) have since gotten outed themselves for being weirdo sexual predators?

But in a completely unrelated note I just heard award winning author Neil Gaiman has been accused of sexual assault by a few different women, but in his defense he claims he’s ONLY been having affairs with barely legal fan girls and the nanny.

Seriously, that’s like 75% of my old detractors who have since gotten busted for some pervy shit. I don’t think anybody has accused George of anything like that, but let’s be honest, he’s too fat to molest anything except a bag of Cheetos. And Scalzi probably reproduces asexually, like a sea sponge or something.

And it appears the silly season has arrived. Because of all the things that never happened, this definitely never happened the most.

I was over at my dads house today helping with some household chores. He lives in a very rural area of a very red state. At the end of the work we went to one of the nearby country bars. It’s the kind of place that farmers, truckers, legit cowboy boot wearers and the working class go to unwind with a cold one.

Vice President Harris was on the TV and the local gun store owner said to his auto mechanic (friends since high school), “You know what? She ain’t so bad. The economy is recovering, nobody’s rioting, and we’re standing up on the world stage again. Can’t believe I’m saying this but ol’ Oakland Kam’s got my vote this year.”

I looked around and all I saw were heads nodding in agreement. I heard a few calls of “Yes sir” and “Damn Straight” from the men around me. Even saw the lonely ball cap wearing farmer in the corner raise his drink with a nod.

I’d assume it’s a parody, except this is exactly the sort of thing that liberal Democrat they/thems who are less familiar with the rural working class than I am genuinely believe a) this is how country folk still talk in the Year of Our Lord 2024, and b) will somehow influence white Republicans.

And who is “ol’ Oakland Kam” anyhow? If I recall correctly, her nickname is “Heels Up Harris”.

Finally, JDA reports that JD Vance is proving to be a negative for the Trump ticket because women don’t like him. Gamma confirmed. And Karl Denninger noticed something very odd about the man’s marital relationship.

So his wife was employed by a California firm that focused on litigation and appeals in San Francisco and DC yet Vance lives in Ohio. That’s a rather interesting arrangement you two have, don’t you think, particularly with three young children in the game.

Oh, I don’t know, Karl. I’m sure he got out there as often as he could. There’s a lot of things for a man to do in San Francisco. A lot of interesting places to visit. A lot of friendly fellows interested in getting to know you…
