I write the book, I publish it and I pay the printer, why do they keep making me do so much extra work?

□ [“Senior Iranian Official Says Tehran Open to Talks on Limiting Uranium Enrichment"]

Oh, suddenly they're open to talks.  They could have done that a week or two ago, what's changed?  As you can probably guess, I have been assuming that Iran is on the losing side of this conflict and the goal was to reach that point as quickly as possible.  Just the fact that they're suddenly interested in talking suggests they know they're losing.  Otherwise if they could take the hits they would and if they had anything to strike back with, they'd have already used it.

Reportedly they also want a ceasefire.  Haven't found anything specific but it is a normal tactic, particularly in Muslim countries, for the losers to get a five or ten year break so they can try again.  I would really like to believe that there's no way Trump or Israel would go for that but this is 2025.  There's not wanting a war and then there's giving up anything to keep the peace.

They're also trying cyberattacks.  Maybe bioweapons.  I'm sure Iran is trying to pull every string to get anybody who might be on their side to join in.  I've been wondering what Muslims will be doing at today's prayers.  Obviously they'd be discussing it but there's no what to guess what side they'd take.  For that matter, there's the Muslims in the west (Democrat voters), those in the Middle East who have to decide whether they side with Iran, and those in Iran itself.  It won't be decided today, but each side will make some points.  Then they'll need to think about how to respond over the next week or two.

□ [“Appeals Court Rules Against Newsom, Allows Trump to Keep National Guard Deployed"]

This is just one of those things that you'd expect to be a no-brainer.  The commander-in-chief has authority to overrule the lower-ranking commanders.  There's more options to resist that if the lower-ranking commanders are actually doing their fr*cking job, which Newsom and the LA mayor were not.  Instead they were supporting attacks on government agents enforcing the law.  Not a good plan.

And what are the leftist elites supposed to do about it?  Haven't heard anything about the California protests for a while.  I think they realized that they need to at least act like they want to keep their citizens safe.  It doesn't look like they're inspiring many others to get involved.  There's already an announcement of the next nationwide protest.  It's next month on a Thursday, when most people have jobs.  Not going to get very far if you leave them out of the discussion, unless all you want is power in which case you'd want fewer people around

It might not happen with this incident but I suspect any leftists with actual sense are realizing that this doesn't work very well.  Their followers are the ones causing problems and you're not going to get very far defying the law.  Without USAID, they must be having funding problems too so their people will need money.  It's not like the rich leaders will give up their own money.

□ [“Ilhan Omar Deletes Juneteenth Post After Called Out for Present Day Slavery in Somalia"]

She represents Somalia, she knows how many slaves there are and she's not giving them up.  She also doesn't permit the media to ask about this.  Just obey.  You can understand why Democrats like her so much.

□ [“Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) Claims ICE is ‘Kidnapping’ and ‘Human Trafficking’ Illegal Aliens"]

They're just projecting their own actions onto others as an excuse to pretend other people are the bad guys.  We've already had human traffickers exposed by these ICE raids and Democrats specifically support them, so at this point we can assume that they are actively taking part in the slave-trade.  Probably the uniparty as a whole although we don't have specific names yet.

I hadn't even looked it up when writing the above but this is one of the congressmen who tried to visit Kilmar Abrego-Garcia.  So yes, they are very involved in slavery, which is a Democrat party tradition.  But when is this going to be made public?  We're already in Civil War 2.0, releasing this info would make that more obvious to everyone.

Trump Calls for Special Prosecutor to Investigate 2020 Election Fraud

□ [“Spanish Prime Minister Sánchez Rejects Trump That NATO Members Spend 5% GDP on Defense"]

Spain has already said that the money it spends to fight global warming replaces whatever they could do for NATO.  Other nations may not be as explicit, but that's the basic mentality here for next week's summit.  Most NATO members are demanding war yet aren't willing to actually go through with it.  This isn't going to go well for them.

At this point it looks like NATO's ready to fall apart without anyone firing a shot.  We know Trump wants to stay out of the warmongers' business and they don't like him anyway but they don't seem to have realized what they'd have to do if the US wasn't there to fall back on.  They need to deliberately ignore a lot of history to think they're in good shape now.

I don't know what Trump should do about this.  The obvious answer is to ditch NATO but you can't just break commitments and ditch long-time allies.  As much as we might want to leave, such connections exist for a reason.  Trump wanted this job so it's up to him to come to a decision.  There's what saves the most time and money but also what causes the least damage to everyone else.  At least Trump will think about these things, how did the European leaders even get to this point?
