You can bet the dogs weren't Chiuauas!

Dog owner fakes heart attack to dodge arrest after pets ‘ripped apart’ woman in front of husband: cops

A Florida dog owner allegedly faked a heart attack while being arrested after her two pets viciously mauled a woman to death, according to cops.

Linda Cutler, 29, “feigned having a heart attack” while she was being hauled into custody by cops Wednesday, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey told reporters.

Cutler, who has since been charged with manslaughter, was nabbed near the Hilton hotel in Melbourne, which is located on Florida’s “Space Coast” — a week after her two mixed-breed dogs savaged 50-year-old dog-walker Jodi Cowan in Cocoa.

Cutler’s pooches Max and Mako climbed over the fence just before 2 a.m. May 19 before “forcing her [Cowan] to the ground, viciously attacking her and eventually dragging her across the ground for quite some distance,” Ivey said.

Cowan’s husband, Donnell Smith, swung a knife at the two dogs in a desperate bid to shoo them away.

Moments after the attack, she called 911 and said, “I’m dying, can’t breathe,” according to audio obtained by Florida Today.

“It was brutal. Seeing the same woman I’ve loved for the last 25, 30 years just ripped apart by two animals was just … I’ll never get that image out of my mind,” Smith told WESH, describing the horror.

Cowan died from her injuries hours later, but Cutler wasn’t immediately arrested; she was only nabbed when cops responded to an unrelated disturbance at the beachside location.

“Hope you enjoyed your time at the beach because you’re not going to be going back,” Ivey said as cops escorted her to jail.

“What is the purpose of that?” a seemingly clueless Cutler, who faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted, responded.

“A woman is dead and two dogs are about to be euthanized because of your uselessness,” the sheriff replied.

Cutler didn’t strengthen her fence despite knowing her dogs had previously escaped, according to the authorities.

And one of Cutler’s neighbors had previously been bitten by her other dogs — but they didn’t cooperate with cops, WFLA reported

“They were always on the loose,” neighbor Dominica Midkiff told Florida Today.

The authorities couldn’t seize the animals because the incidents failed to meet the legal requirement. 


The two dogs will be euthanized. 

Cutler’s arraignment is scheduled for June 23.

Shady immigration attorneys laughed off the law — now they’ll have to pay for their asylum games

This week, the Department of Homeland Security announced a new effort to crack down on asylum fraud — by going after the lawyers who enable it.

DHS will be imposing civil fines on attorneys who file bogus and frivolous protection applications on behalf of their alien clients. 

About time: For decades, various administrations have turned a blind eye to those who exploit Americans’ humanitarian instincts for pecuniary gain.

By its nature, fraud generally is one of the hardest crimes to prove — it’s axiomatic in law enforcement that the greatest con artists are the ones who never got caught. 

Our generous asylum laws, however, almost encourage fraud. 


On paper fast food employee minimum wages were high. Unreality they're zero

Bloodbath for Carl’s Jr. as nearly 50 California stores liquidated over state’s staggering minimum wage

Carl’s Jr. is staring down the potential loss of dozens of California locations after a franchisee and its affiliates filed for bankruptcy protection — blaming the state’s staggering minimum wage.

Franchisee Sun Gir Inc., which is leading the Chapter 11 action, is putting 49 of its California restaurants up for sale as part of the proceedings.

Friendly Franchisees Corporation CEO and Founder Harshad Dharod said the state’s $20 minimum wage in the fast-food sector contributes to the chain’s financial distress ahead of bankruptcy filing under subsidiary Sun Gir, according to Restaurant Dive.

Dharod said the minimum wage, enacted in 2024, “materially increased operating expenses,” and the operator struggled with “reduced marketing effectiveness” and a “lack of innovation at the franchisor level.”

Sun Gir has cited “significant ongoing operating expenses,” worsened by the high minimum wage, for putting in default of its franchisee agreements at a number of locations. It also noted a “failure to timely pay rent, royalties and other required charges,” per the court filing.

Sun Gir will use cash collateral to pay about 1,000 of its employees, along with paying rent, insurance, and complete obligations under its franchise and lease agreements, according to Restaurant Dive.

Despite the bankruptcy proceeding, the company claimed on its website that it drove profits and sales “far above the brand average.”

California’s high fast-food minimum wage has spelled trouble for other fast-food operators,

A study published last year by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) this month found that the state’s fast-food minimum wage hike cost the state thousands of jobs.

Researchers found that the the minimum wage hike has cost the fast-food sector 18,000 jobs since it went into effect in April 2024, representing a 3.2% decline in that sector compared to fast-food sectors in other parts of the country.

“Our median estimate translates into a loss of 18,000 jobs in California’s fast-food sector relative to the counterfactual,” researchers Jeffrey Clemens, Olivia Edwards, and Jonathan Meer wrote in their paper.

A RESPONSE TO GRAHAM PLATNER

A RESPONSE TO GRAHAM PLATNER


Maine’s Graham Platner is one of the vile candidates for the United States Senate that the Democratic Party has vomited up and into public prominence. He recently attacked Army combat vet and Purple Heart recipient Teddy Daniels. I have posted a thumbnail photo of Daniels on the home page. Fox News caught up with Daniels for a video response to Platner that is posted here.

The editors of the Wall Street Journal also reached out to Mr. Daniels for comment. Today’s Journal has published his column “I’m the Soldier Graham Platner Mocked.” Mr. Daniels writes at the top of his column:

Mr. Platner presents himself as a savior for working-class Americans while his background screams the opposite and his offensive comments about fellow veterans—including me—speak poorly of his character.

The tough-talking Marine veteran struts around in a Carhartt jacket and jeans, but recent reporting relates that he comes from a prestigious family where he had access to an elite private-school education and a lifestyle of privilege. He also plays up his job as an “oyster farmer,” but the only client mentioned in his federal financial disclosure was the restaurant his mother owns.

He concludes:

Mr. Platner has been caught disparaging the service of fellow veterans like decorated Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and Vice President JD Vance. He also disparaged me while commenting on a viral video of a firefight in which I sustained numerous wounds from a Taliban ambush. I received a Purple Heart for my injuries, but Mr. Platner cheered for my death from behind a keyboard.

Kyle, Mr. Vance and I didn’t grow up privileged. Kyle’s father worked for the phone company. We all know Mr. Vance’s story from “Hillbilly Elegy.” I was the son of a brick-mason father and a mother who worked in a textile mill.

My father, who died of cancer several years ago, would have had a field day with Mr. Platner. He was always talking about the “spoiled,” “rich kid” politicians who came out to job sites to get votes and take pictures. Dad would comment on the work boots they wore, boots that never saw a day of work, and their Carhartt jackets, which still had creases from being on the shelf at the Tractor Supply Co. store.

Flannel shirt and all, Graham Platner is Tim Walz on steroids. An entitled brat who campaigns with socialist Bernie Sanders. A real man by the lights of the Democratic Party, he presents himself as “relatable” to working-class Americans, but in reality he’s a typical elitist who believes blue-collar, hardworking, salt-of-the-earth rural Americans are stupid and racist. I couldn’t care less about the comments he made about me, but they are a reflection of his character. I never thought I’d see the day when Democrats would even consider backing a candidate like this.

Whole thing here. There is much more and worse to be said about Platner, but that should do for today.


Biden pardoned a drug dealer

Biden pardoned a drug-dealer, who quickly got back to work



Even out of power, the Biden administration just keeps on giving.

First, it's Jew hatred, not antisemitism.

Denounce Jew Haters as Cancer

Jews are losing the culture war to Jew haters due to failure to control the language of the argument and failure to deploy targeted hate propaganda against the Jew haters.

Psychological warfare is almost exclusively an offensive weapon, and one does not defend with it.

Jews are losing the culture war to Jew haters due to failure to control the language of the argument and failure to deploy targeted hate propaganda against the Jew haters.

By "targeted," I mean the same way chemotherapy drugs are targeted against cancer and not healthy tissue. Hate must similarly be directed onlyat Jew haters, terrorist supporters, and other bigots, and never against anybody's race, religion, or ethnicity.

And definitions matter. First, it's Jew hatred, not antisemitism.

According to the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA), "… the neologism 'antisemitism,' coined by German journalist Wilhelm Marr in 1879 to designate anti-Jewish campaigns, was spread through use by anti-Jewish political movements and the general public." Antisemitism found its origins in pseudoscientific theories about racial differences, to the effect that some races are superior to others.

IHRA also points out that Semites include not only Jews, but many other Middle Eastern people including Arabs — and Hitler didn't like them. either. There are videos of ethnic Arabs who proclaim gleefully that Hitler was right, that Hitler should come back, and Jews should go back to the ovens.

I can envision a broken clock with Hitler's scowling face in the center, and his two arms giving Nazi salutes to positions on the clock, one with this Arab woman and another with a Black man who is on video giving a Nazi salute. (I just saw another of a Black man dressed as Hitler stepping on an Israeli flag.) The caption would read, "Right twice a day," with Hitler calling the Arab a "lacquered half-ape (lackierter Halbaffe)," and the black man the N word or its German counterpart. I don't call him that, no civilized person calls him that, but that is what he calls himself by saying Hitler was right.

The IranWire reference elaborates that Hitler's complete statement was, "We will continue to stir up unrest in the Far East and in Arabia. We must think as Masters and see in these peoples at best lacquered half-apes, who want to feel the whip." Hamas, and ethnic Arabs who support Nazism, therefore self-identify as lackierte Halbaffen. This is not what we call ethnic Arabs; it is what these particular Arabs call themselves by praising We must use the new language to control the argument.

We should therefore replace "antisemitism" and "anti-Semites" with words for Jew hatred and Jew haters. German is a great language because we can combine almost any words to create new ones. I therefore propose the following:

  • Jew hatred is Judenhass
  • Jew haters (singular or plural) are Judenhasser  
  • Anti-Jewish is Antijüdisch 

Now let's use these words in sentences.

  • WHYY reports, "Accusing party of antisemitism, Pa. Supreme Court Justice David Wecht leaves Democratic Party that elected him," becomes, "Accusing party of Judenhass, Pa. Supreme Court Justice David Wecht leaves Democratic Party that elected him."
  • The New York Post reports, "Gavin Newsom bets antisemitism is the Democratic Party’s future" becomes "Gavin Newsom bets Judenhass is the Democratic Party’s future."
  • "Adolf Hitler was a Judenhasser as well as an anti-Semitic bigot who viewed Arabs as lacquered half-apes."
  • "The Democrat Party is infested with Judenhasser, many of whom were featured at their 2024 National Convention."
  • "Judernhasser, like swarming vermin, infest Cornell, Columbia, Harvard, Yale, and New York Universities." While comparison of anybody's race, religion, or ethnicity to vermin is never acceptable, a behavior is not an EEOC protected characteristic.
  • "Black Lives Matter's denial of the right of Israel to exist is Antijüdisch."
  • "A Kamala Harris staffer asked Josh Shapiro the Antijüdisch question as to whether he was a double agent for Israel, i.e. a Jew with divided loyalties."
  • "Governor Josh Shapiro's Antijüdisch statement that Benjamin Netanyahu controls Donald Trump promotes Judenhass."
  • "Maine Democrat Graham Platner's Nazi SS tattoo could be construed as Antijüdisch, as well as racist and white supremacist. Platner's depiction of a wounded American Soldier as a 'dumb mother****** who didn't deserve to live,' and his blood libel about decorated sniper Chris Kyle shooting civilians, were similarly repugnant, but not Antijüdisch."
  • ."Gavin Newsom's false accusation that Israel is an apartheid state is Antijüdisch."
  • "The New York Times' false accusation that Israel trains dogs to sexually assault prisoners is Antijüdisch yellow journalism, better suited to cheap tabloids in supermarket checkout lines."
  • "Judenhasser vermin vandalize our universities and cities, block streets, harass Jews, and otherwise ruin everything with which they come into contact. They share this characteristic with other vermin like the Nazi perpetrators of the Night of the Broken Glass, and the white supremacists who rampaged through Tulsa in 1921." 

Judenhasser talking points are right — about Judenhasser. 

A lot of anti-Jewish propaganda can, and should, be repurposed against the Judenhasser and racists. If we take what the Nazis said about Jews, Black people, Romany, Arabs, and Slavic people, and apply it to the Nazis themselves, it's pretty accurate. This includes useless eaters and Untermenschen, as most Nazis were the dregs of German society with few if any productive skills. Google AI reports of Hitler himself, "He worked as a casual laborer, including carrying bags and in construction, while living in homeless shelters." Hitler wasn't fit for anything other than menial labor, when he felt like doing even that.

If we take the rat swarm from the movie The Eternal Jew, and have the rats morph into Nazis, white supremacists, and "Justice in Palestine" instead of Jews, it's spot on. The same goes for white supremacists and the "Justice in Palestine" crowd who create and build nothing, but ruin everything. Their vandalism, like the pellets rats leave in their wake, speaks for itself. I saw a new video of a white supremacist who is berating a Jew with mostly monosyllabic words, and language typical of somebody who probably didn't finish eighth grade. Untermensch is as Untermensch does.

"Who really runs America?" could feature Qatar, with puppet strings consisting of dollars controlling various Ivy League universities, the U.N., the International Criminal Court, and so on. Add "felony violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act," but don't accuse anybody in particular of a crime without proof. Per Romeo and Juliet, "I do not bite my thumb at you, Sir, but I bite my thumb, Sir."

What does this have to do with the cancer analogy?

It is meanwhile vital that we never promote hatred against anybody's EEOC-protected characteristics. It is not racist to equate "Justice in Palestine" and "Globalize the Intifada" to a swarm of destructive rats, locusts, or cockroaches, because these are behaviors and not races or ethnicities. We can elaborate on this as follows.

  • Nazis were to Germans what cancer is to healthy tissue. Nazis, like rats, ruined everything they touched.
  • White nationalists are to Caucasians what cancer is to healthy tissue.
  • Black Lives Matter Global Network is to African-Americans what cancer is to healthy tissue. BLM-inspired civil disorder cost numerous lives including those of African-Americans like David Dorn, and destroyed property belonging to people of all races, in 2020.
  • Hamas, ISIS, Hezbollah, the Palestinian Authority, and Al Qaida are to Arabs what cancer is to healthy tissue.
  • Jewish Voice for Peace is to Jews what cancer is to healthy tissue.

This language makes a clear separation between a behavior and an EEOC protected characteristic. When we depict Hamas as cancer, we're talking specifically about Hamas, and not Arabs. However, any Arab who expresses support for Hamas self-identifies as cancer. This gives us powerful talking points to drive the Judenhasser, and their fellow travelers who call for death to America and celebrate the deaths of American service members, back into their holes like the undesirables they are. 

Civis Americanus is the pen name of a contributor who remembers the lessons of history, and wants to ensure that our country never needs to learn those lessons again the hard way. He or she is remaining anonymous due to the likely prospect of being subjected to "cancel culture" for exposing the Big Lie behind Black Lives Matter.
