I was going to interrupt this post for a guitar solo but then I realized that makes no sense. Don't know what I was thinking.

□ [“Trump Just Wants to Sell Some Sweet Merch and the Left Is Freaking Out for Some Reason"]

These are the hats and t-shirts for "Trump 2028" and I think I've figured those out.  Democrats don't have any actual leaders and most of those in charge are quite old, so they can't compete against him in an election.  Not fairly anyway.  They can't just try to convict him of crimes, they already did that.  They can't ignore the majority of the voters, not if they want to pretend they support democracy.  There's certainly no law against him running for a third term, so what other options are there?

Yes, there's the Constitution, but those who support America are fine with Trump going away in four years.  It's those who oppose America and the Constitution that have no argument against this.  In other words, he can justify another term against them and if he's still as worshipped by his supporters as the left insists that he is, that's game over.  The only way to prevent that is to respect the Constitution and that means *ALL* of it.

□ [“Trump Asserts He’s Serious About Canada Becoming 51st State — ‘I’m Really Not Trolling’"]

Another example of the problem the left causes for itself, if everything he says is a lie, then he really is trolling so there's nothing to take seriously about this.  But they're taking it seriously anyway.  From my perspective, I really don't know.  His explanation is that Canada really doesn't do anything for us and it would just be cheaper and better for everybody if we took over.

As arguments go, I guess I've heard worse, but I still don't see much incentive from either side to merge.  Frankly, I think there's much more dislike of the whole concept regardless of how good an idea it is, as there should be.  He's literally saying he's not trolling and I literally can't take it seriously any other way, as to push Canada and everyone else to start acting like a real f*cking nation for a change instead of the pawns of the globalist left that they've been doing for decades.

Maybe if we don't make Canada a state, just a territory, that would be a better option.

Leftist Judges File 209 Legal Challenges Against Trump in Under 100 Days — 64 Injunctions His Entire First Term

□ [Sammy Hagar - "Encore, Thank You, Goodnight"]

Yet another Sammy Hagar release, he's only done a couple dozen songs in the 2020s.  Well he is pushing 80 and is probably not being considered for the next vocalist for Guns'n'Roses.  The song itself isn't very good but it stands out just because it's doing something.

Sammy says this came from a dream about Eddie Van Halen.  Ok, we'll go with that.  He's also said recently that he's just too old to do more tours.  That's much more believable.  Rock stars tend to hide this insight from the public or just never have it, but his life is reaching the end and, being Sammy, he wants to find a way to make something with it.  In his case, it's a tribute to EVH.

It makes sense from Sammy's perspective.  He was successful before joining Van Halen and was mega-successful afterwards.  Once he started making money, he had the sense to invest it in businesses that didn't depend on him being a rock star.  That's how he got to know Eddie Van Halen, they had the same auto mechanic.  We know why EVH could afford a Lamborghini but that's how Sammy got a Ferrari 512 (and never drove 55 in it.)  That being said, being in Van Halen was clearly Sammy's high-point career-wise as a rock star.

So with Joe Satriani playing lead, Sammy now puts out a song tributing EVH with gratitude.  That's nice enough, but it makes me wonder why no one else does this?  Alex Van Halen has always stayed silent although he will be out later this year with a collection of music he recorded with EVH in their last years together.  Michael Anthony stays quiet like most bassplayers but I assume he complements EVH a lot in interviews.  But where the f*ck is David Lee Roth?

For the last 40 years or so, Roth has been talking like he's the one who made the band and we're just lucky he picked side-musicians who had the same name.  20 seconds into "Eruption" will show anybody that Roth isn't the one who made this band successful, where has he been for the last five years instead of paying tribute to the guy he got rich and famous from?  And where the hell are any other guitar players?

And where is anybody trying to put out a tribute like this to anybody meaningful?  'Thanks for what you brought to my life and the fans and the rest of the world'?  It's not like Sammy had to spend years sculpting this masterpiece.  His last couple tours have been heavy on VH songs, he's got the tribute, but he had this idea so he put it together and here it is, simple as that.  It's disturbing to realize this but that basic spirit seems entirely missing from pop culture these days.

□ [“Democrat Senators Erupt in Anger Over FBI Arrest of Wisconsin Judge for Helping Illegal Evade  ICE"]

Judges are allowed to break the law if they're defending others who broke the law because the law applies to everyone!  That's the basic message being put out.  The rhetoric about the MS-13 guy has suddenly vanished so they need a different slave trafficker to defend at the moment.  This isn't going to go well for them.

By slave trafficker, I mean the judge, as far as I know the illegal was only charged on multiple counts of domestic abuse, battery and the like.  Ok, maybe he has a few things in common with the MS-13 guy but you get my point.  I assume the Trump administration has already looked into what these judges are into, what government officials they're connected to, and have a range of attacks ready to go.

Trump lawyers have also looked into all the legal options.  As an example, a judge defied Homeland Security for removing illegals, so the task was given to the Department of Defense who hadn't been included in the judge's orders.  The DoJ is also setting up RICO charges for gang-members, for various forms of trafficking, extortion and racketeering.  And the judges are going to defend these people?  And Democrats?

Trump hit the executive branch in his first couple months, now he's going after the judicial.  Republicans control Congress so there's not a lot the left can do there and even the uniparty's options are limited.  If nothing else, they're probably informed of what Trump is doing and they can't do much to defend the targets - traitors, slave traffickers, Chinese spies - or the connection to them can easily be exposed.

□ [Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mi) Calls Democrats ‘Weak and Woke’ — ‘F**king Retake The Flag’ With ‘Alpha Energy’"]

This just comes off as a parody, someone who has no clue what it actually means to be tough.  "Alpha energy"?  She's trying to address something that liberals hate, especially in men.  Otherwise she's just trying to get everyone together as a unified group, following her orders.  She's already attacked AOC and Bernie for talking and not doing anything.

Because Democrats love polls, CNN is reporting how AOC/Bernie are shooting up in poll numbers and others like Chuck Schumer are falling.  The media would never pick a side to support the correct Democrats.  This does show how the party's internal conflicts are growing.  They are desperate for someone to tell them what to do.

Looking at the comments about Slotkin, it's the "alpha energy" that seems to amuse the most people.  The party has purged anyone who could do that and it's not something any of the other dozens of genders are known for.  She makes a few comments about actually organizing, unlike AOC/Bernie, or David Hogg or any other competitors, but there's still no actual organization.  They're all just self-identifying as being in charge and expecting everything to go from there.
