□ [“Zelensky Is Trying to Reach Donald Trump to Negotiate Continuing US Military Help to Kiev"]

The dream would be that leftists have messed things up so badly that even they aren't capable of stealing the next election, so Trump will be in charge.  But what are the odds of that?  It is true that Republicans have no chance of anything so Trump will call the shots for them, no matter what, but I think it's more about Zelensky getting desperate.

It would be nice to think that this is why Russia has been taking so long, given that they haven't acted like standard Russia.  Maybe they're just failures too, but the point might be to weaken Ukraine to collapse and, by extension, the US and Europe for support.

Word is that Ukraine has started looking for a replacement for Zelensky.  If true, that's probably the real reason for his desperation.  The guy's already cancelled elections, how else would he lose power?  Word is the commander of the armed forces is the one the West is considering as replacement, no mean feat considering Zelensky has purged the military.

So now only Trump can save Zelensky.  They're still subtle about it, last time it was Zelensky daring Trump to come and help.  Now it's his staff trying to make it happen, presumably by talking to Trump's staff.  I still don't expect this to go anywhere, but at least we have something to watch as we're waiting for the final collapse.

□ [“Biden Wants US to Open Military Ties with China: National Security Advisor"]

It looks like they're just begging China for support and so far been denied, but it shows how China is in control of everything relevant.  They probably already have plenty of access to the US military, but they want more.  There might be some anti-Chinese plans in place, gotta find out everything about them and they'll search everything until they're sure.  Our rulers will make sure that happens.

□ [“California Governor Newsom Admits He Only Cleaned Up the Streets of San Francisco to Please Xi Jinping"]

Our rulers also don't want the man in charge to see a sloppy mess that they could have cleaned up any time but didn't.  So now all the homeless and the criminals have to stay out of sight until Xi leaves.  This news has been on the internet for a day or so, but now Newsom is admitting "that's true because it's true."  Whatever that means.

Oh, but he says there was *talk* of doing it for a long time before Xi's visit was scheduled.  But that's all it was, talk.  Not a single crime was prevented that way, not a single criminal was caught and the number of homeless on the streets just kept growing and growing.  People in San Francisco don't matter, it's the head of China who counts, at least according to Newsom.  By the way, he's running for POTUS here, so he can expand that across the country.

□ [“Bundeswehr Revamped to Become Backbone of European Defense, Berlin to Double Military Aid to Ukraine"]

WTF?  This just seems wrong on every level.  First of all, why hasn't Germany kept up a strong military so far?  Second of all, contradicting the first, it's Germany!  Who wants another German military?  It's the biggest, most powerful nation in Europe, remember?  You want to do that again?  Third of all, Ukraine is the priority?  Restoring German might on behalf of some country 800 miles away that's never even bothered to join NATO or the EU?

Fourth of all, why would NATO or the EU go along with this?  It's like the last hundred years have been about learning that, yeah, Germany just needs to be in control of everybody.  Which many Germans have agreed with over the last century, but this is... it's...  I can't even.

Do they still have women in charge or are they replacing them with all the invading immigrants?  Because that could make a difference too.  But to be fair, there's a reason to support Ukraine.  They certainly did their part to support Germany against Russia in a previous war.  This is an example of why I always cite WWI as the turning point of humanity, and here we have that war leading to a sequel whose supporters are still fighting to this day and still supporting the same leftist propaganda.

□ [“New York Governor Kathy Hochul Announces ‘Surveillance Efforts’ to Monitor ‘Hate Speech’ on Social Media"]

The (female) leader of New York needs to keep up with California, so monitoring what people say and punishing those who say things the leaders don't like is next.  There's no such thing a right to 'freedom of speech,' you don't see China doing that, do you?  There's nothing the citizens can do about this, although those who criticize Republicans or Jews probably won't have to worry.

And nobody along the line says this is a bad idea.  Not the cities or counties, not the state officials or Democrats in other states, certainly no one from the federal government defends the First Amendment.  Like all dictatorships, they want that gone, along with citizens who have guns.  And yet the citizens aren't protesting, they're just letting it happen.

What's next, putting people in camps like she wanted to do with those who weren't vaccinated against covid?  This may be why her sexually harassing predecessor suddenly resigned, so she could pursue the mission without such interference.  I'm starting to wonder if that's how leftist dictatorships work, at least for the lower ranks, where people are periodically purged.  Not to get rid of potential rivals - although that's probably part of it - but as a natural part of the job.  You get enough money to live well for the rest of your life and hold some unelected job for the uniparty in exchange for spending a little time going through the pretend election cycle.

8 Republicans Vote with Democrats to Shelve Impeachment of DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas
November 13, 2023

News from the ground in Israel is probably as trustworthy as Russia/Ukraine, but it is what it is.  Reportedly, Hamas is getting badly defeated and Israel is, so far, holding up to its goal to wipe them out entirely.  It sounds like Hamas is down to individuals and small groups who will have to be tracked down piece by piece, but so far they aren't getting much help from outsiders.

That much is believable.  Hamas and the Philistines are really only useful as a symbol to the rest of the Muslim world, they aren't needed in reality.  Westerners will give money to Jew-haters, but that doesn't really help when you're fighting trained soldiers who have put up with this for decades and are sick of it.  I'd be fine with them turning Gaza into a parking lot but I don't get a vote on this.  In the meantime, they have to pretend there are civilians in the area and put up with hatred from the rest of the world.

Is there an end in sight?  Not that I'm aware of, but who knows?  Otherwise, there might be more votes for the 'parking lot' initiative soon.  The Philistines need to start acting like civilized human beings or the Muslim world needs to admit that they aren't capable of doing that.  Not that this will stop the Jew-hatred, but they could at least clear out some space to separate them from the enemy.
