Looks like I picked the wrong week to wonder what I'm going to do this week.

Yesterday was the 30th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death and nobody told me? I thought we were all supposed to celebrate the anniversary. :(20240406

□ [“IDF Withdraws Most Ground Troops from Southern Gaza"]

Uh, why?  Switching units is one thing, it makes sense.  Pulling most of them out, not so much.  They say that they've mostly accomplished the mission by now, but it looks more like they're obeying the anti-Israel propagandists we've been hearing for the last six months.  For that matter, notice that we're at the 6 month anniversary.  Coincidence?

Just stay there until you finish the genocide you've been accused of for the last 70+ years.  There's only two possible ways this is going to end and one of those is Israel's elimination from the planet.  Just the fact that the philistines aren't all dead from starvation is proof that that the Jew-haters have been lying all this time.  Just get it over with.

But they won't, this will just keep going on and on.  There's no way to know what the plan is or if there even is one.  It is surprising that their Muslim neighbors haven't been getting involved.  Leftist protests all over the world, sure, but where are the ones who actually pretend to care about the Philistines?  This is certainly part of the Iran/Saudi Arabia conflict, but it's not clear how or why.

Safe to assume things will just get worse for everybody and it'll stay that way.  Fair enough?

□ [“Trump Throws Down the Gauntlet at Judge Merchan After He Expands Gag Order to Include His Leftist Daughter"]

A bit interesting, Trump really does seem to be standing up to this judge.  The whole point is to silence critics - in this case, Trump - but looking at what he's still saying either shows the limits of the law or at least the enforcement.  He's on the offensive and I mean that in a good way.  It's Trump, so I'm sure he's dealt with many lawsuits about what he is and isn't allowed to say in these circumstances.

But why is he the only one doing this?  It's obvious that he was absolutely right, they're going after us and he's just in the way.  None of us have the money or resources to put up a defense like this, what will it take to actually resist?  I'm not the sort of person who keeps complaining how passive or gullible people are, but what other excuse is there?

We already Democrats are just using their pet judges, that's how they've been getting away with this for so long.  In every sense, that's why they can attack people for doing what leftists do, that's why they can silence anybody they don't like.  No idea how many decades this has been going on, but it probably helps explain the uniparty, at least partially.  Need to threaten/bribe people on both sides to make sure they obey.

It might also explain why the left has become so much more obsessed with judges.  There's just the sense that you always have to obey them no matter what (unless you're a leftist.)  Just one of those places where it's only useful when they get what they want and they oppose it the rest of the time.  We saw that with Supreme Court justices being too old and not being elected, they hate that, except when it's Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

□ [“Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 to Houston Returns to Denver After Engine Cover Tears Away During Takeoff"]

Oh come on!  At what point do Boeing and the airlines decide they need to do something about this before something bad happens?  Or at least announce publicly that they refuse to do anything about this until then.  But that would mean they'll have to determine the point where they'll stop these problems from happening.  Some people might say just do what it takes to prevent these problems, but that's not how Boeing operates.

Notice how we all just take it as a given that they're *woke.*  Not even 'population reduction' or 'Russian sabotage' to relieve the monotony.  We know that the big corporation is all about the DEI agenda, so planes that actually work are an afterthought.  Also notice that Boeing itself is not saying why this is happening, they barely seem to notice.

So another big name gets ruined by this stupidity.  At least with Bud Lite, there's plenty of other cheap beers, and Disney fans can at least enjoy (some of) the last century of non-*woke* releases.  Building a working airplane would be expensive but the knowledge already exists.  But how do you even get to a place where this becomes necessary?

□ [“USA Today Claims Biden Has ‘Clamped Down on Unauthorized Border Crossings’"]

I've got a number of articles about the rulers suddenly putting out a lot more propaganda than usual with their pet media.  Blatantly false that's obvious to anybody who can see reality.  In this case, does USA Today have anybody even close to the border?  Probably not, they're just repeating what they're told to say.

This is standard policy for totalitarian states, the only permitted media is saying what the master wants to hear and the elites are so far away from reality that they think it's proof that everything is going well.  Meanwhile there's millions of military-aged males from all across the world converging on our soil, with full support of our rulers.  Is there anything they aren't capable of at this point?

□ [“Epidemiologist Warns About What’s Not Happening at the Border – We’re Flirting with Disaster"]

It's hard to tell what to worry about most, given how long the list is, but this ranks very high.  We're not checking the invaders for diseases, or bioweapons.  That's what the invaders might be bringing in deliberately, and they've probably got *real* vaccines.  The rest of us can all be dying painfully and they'd be free to start operating things their way.

That's kind of an obvious idea, so I'm sure we've got defenses against it, but we don't have anybody in charge who would use those defenses.  I'm going to stop thinking about this now because it sounds way too believable and scary.  This is why you keep borders secure for real.

□ [“'I Am Not Woke': Fetterman Continues to Surprise, Blasts Squatters and Violent Crime"]

Why does it look like this guy was deliberately brain damaged so that he could pass as a successful Democrat.  Then he had surgery and was fixed, after being put in a position where it would make a difference.  That sounds ridiculous but given the world we live in now, I can't say it's impossible.

We keep being told that the government has access to technology the rest of us have no clue about.  Given the security our rulers have, information about this would have gotten out to all our enemies, and there must be plans in place for this sort of eventuality.  I'm still going to avoid saying anything nice about Fetterman, but from what little I've heard, he at least has sounded decent since the operation.

It's just that this concept is so unrealistic that even contemplating the notion that it really happened makes us wonder what else they're doing on us.  It's like taking concepts from cheap sci-fi movies or pulp novels and applying them to reality.  If they could do this, what else could they do?  This sort of thing makes us all look like helpless puppets and it's understandable why it would be kept secret.
