Deep-State Schemes, Drought Doom, and Dem Power

Welcome to the PinkState Weekly Briefing — where we take a fast look at the week’s most seen tales in case you missed any of them. What do you suppose caught people’s consideration in this latest whirlwind week? Grab a cup of espresso (or one thing stronger if you are so inclined), and sit down with this twenty first Century Weekend Edition of your favourite (online) publication.

#1 – New: USAID’s Secret Signal Chats Document Plot Against U.S. Leadership — by Ward Clark

During that dialog, the speaker said in half:

We do not have to be intermediaries, either. We can convey in actors, or colleagues from around the world, that dealt with this straight, very particular points (inaudible.) Whether that’s on tackling corruption or how to reply to corruption, mobilizing around corruption, we are able to convey those people in, and form of be those facilitators. And so, again, I feel those coordinations and constructions are just beginning to happen.

OK, now I’m not wild-eyed conspiracy theorist, but having a bunch of disgruntled former USAID staff speaking in a Signal chat about “tackling corruption” is more than disconcerting, it is downright unsettling. This seems to be Trump Derangement Syndrome mobilizing for battle.

But this is the half that ought to have your eyebrows tobogganing off the top of your cranium:

Lest you assume it’s innocent, they outright admit their purpose is to create new “socio-political economic governance systems.”

#2 – Sen. Kennedy Delivers Savage Swipe About Chuck Schumer’s Manhood, Describes AOC As Only He Can — by Rusty Weiss

The Senator proceeded to clarify how AOC is smelling blood in the water. Realizing that her model of extremism isn’t restricted to success in just the liberal cesspool of the Bronx and Queens, but is now branching out, as evidenced by the latest election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City.

Still, he describes her as a creation of the media. And not a very deep, mental creation at that.

“They love her like the devil loves sin, man. I mean, they just uh—and I get why,” Kennedy noticed. “She’s attractive. She’s pretty articulate on television. She’s bold in her statements. But I’ve never heard anybody describe her as a policy maven.” 

“My experience with her is if you scratch the surface, you just get more surface.”

#3 – The End Is Near. Tehran Faces Evacuation As Water Supplies Reach Zero and the City Sinks Into the Desert — by streiff

Iran is drought-prone; certainly, it’s the center of the most extreme drought in 57 years, but that isn’t what is inflicting the current disaster. It is the logical and foreseeable consequence of many years of environmental neglect and Soviet-style mismanagement that has turned a naturally arid climate into a national emergency.

Iran’s groundwater has been depleted, primarily in an effort to surge agriculture to deal with a booming population. Tehran is sinking at a fee of 25 cm per yr as the aquifers collapse. This poses a menace to utilities, subways, and the structural integrity of buildings. It is difficult to think about that the settling hasn’t precipitated leaks in water mains.

To be clear, this isn’t a Tehran downside; this is an Iran downside. The drought impacts the entire nation, and 30 of Iran’s 31 provinces are experiencing land subsidence due to unchecked groundwater extraction.

#4 – He’s the Boss: Youngkin’s Blistering Response to Spanberger After Gov.-Elect’s Attempted Power Grab — by Teri Christoph

The commonwealth of Virginia doesn’t have such a downside at the second, and Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin would love Democrats, and significantly Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger, to kindly butt out of his business. Spanberger, naturally, is raring to get a head start on wreaking havoc in the Old Dominion, but she’ll have to cool her jets for the next two months.

Youngkin was rightfully incensed to be taught that Spanberger had taken it upon herself to write to the Board of Visitors (BOV) of the University of Virginia (UVA) this week asking them to maintain on choosing a new president until after she is inaugurated in January. The earlier president resigned earlier this yr – under a great deal of stress from both Youngkin and Trump’s Department of Justice, it ought to be famous – after he stonewalled an investigation by the DOJ’s Civil Rights division into UVA’s use of race in admission and employment choices.

What Spanberger, a UVA graduate, is asking for right here is for her alma mater to resume the stonewalling that obtained them into bother in the first place until she will get into workplace and start placing her hand-picked minions onto the BOV. And once she’s obtained her far-left radicals in place, the college will undoubtedly revert to its DEI methods and go to warfare against the DOJ.

#5 – The Supposed Great Victory of Zohran Mamdani Stinks to High Heaven — by Adam Turner 

Granted, half of Mamdani’s victory is sadly all too real, as it comes straight from our deviant academic institution on U.S. faculty campuses and Ok-12 colleges. Since the Seventies, the DEI-loving leftist professors and academics in the United States have produced class after class of miseducated-if-not-moronic “educated graduates” who love communism/socialism/leftism, hate white people, hate males, hate the U.S., imagine males might be girls, and assume the Jews are the central evil throughout the world. Most of these new voters are Democrats, but a sizable quantity are Republicans as effectively.  

This is effectively well-known fact, and the Trump administration ought to (and is) attempting to do one thing about it.

But despite this real element, the 2025 Mamdani “Great Victory” is trying more and more like a fraudulent victory culminating from a marketing campaign and its associates that, over the years, had been conducting a number of (alleged) illegalities and “dirty pool” actions (actions which gamed the system but didn’t rise to precise illegalities).
