The question isn't "what's love got to do with it?" The question should be "what is it?"

□ [“Transgender Shooter at Mass of Minneapolis K-8 Catholic School Leaving Multiple Victims"]

I supposed this is the big news of the day.  There was briefly an attempt to say he was a Trump supporter but his pretend-gender was quickly discovered, along with his weapons having slogans like "Kill Trump Now" and "Burn Israel."  He's also posted a manifesto on youtube which is also not typical pro-Trump.  The left moved very quickly to how this was caused by hatred of the trans.  Also they want to ban guns.

Naturally they ignore the victims, other than to mock their religion.  And none of them have the slightest curiosity how their leftist teachers knew this guy all these years and never had any clue this was coming.  Unless they did know it was coming and that's what they really supported.  As always, they will drop any attention to this quickly, just like the previous transgender murderers.

Maybe we should ban all transgenders from having guns.  Or anybody who supports them.  Maybe we should just simplify things and say only MAGA can be permitted to have a gun.  And that includes government officials.

Something about this seems a bit staged.  The trans shooter's weapons also had a lot of Russian on them, which makes no sense.  Then something about the timing just seems off.  I get that lunatics will strike at any time, this just seems deliberate, like someone somewhere wanted something now and this was what they came up with.  No evidence, no suspicious to point to, it just seems weird somehow.

□ [“Chicago Mayor Johnson Repeatedly Refuse to Answer if More Police Would Reduce Crime"]

I'm guessing some Democrats are really starting to realize how screwed they are by their own party positions.  By all accounts, crime in DC has dropped quite a bit in the last couple weeks and even the black female mayor admits that.  Reportedly no one has been shot since this operation started.  Who's ever heard of a black-majority city where people don't get shot?  Democrats oppose that but they can't say why.

So now other cities are asking their Democrat leaders why they can't do that too.  Trump was able to do this right away but somehow when the left is in charge, it takes a long time and is very complicated and they never get around to doing it at all.  Sucks to be the crime victims, especially if they're a certain skin color.

With the trans shooters being defended and, over in Britain, the illegal immigrants trying to rape children, the elites are making it clear which side they're on.  And here they are pushing a black guy out to try to sound coherent about it so they can call anyone who disagrees "racist."  This is not how to solve problems but it's all they know.

□ [“Dem Laments: When You Stand For Nothing, Trump'll Make You Fall For Everything"]

The Dem's point is better than the headline makes it sounds.  He points out that they're just focused on hatred of Trump and that's not enough to win over voters.  They can talk up about how much they're 'fighting' but that's all they do.  It's tiresome and there's no strategy, so more and more people refuse to take part in that.

There's also the '80-20' argument, that Trump is just taking positions that most people agree with.  I don't know how common that really is among politicians, but Trump hasn't been much of a politician so it's understandable.  But it's still basically a good idea.  Anything else is elitism, you'll impose your will on the masses, and requires tyranny to really work.  If people will be punished for disagreeing with you, they won't disagree with you in public.

I keep looking back on the list of words put out a week ago that Democrats should stop using.  Although the article itself is interesting, it never recognizes that the ideas being put out are incorrect, only that this particular terminology comes across in a bad way which doesn't win over the listener.  It's like a parent trying to figure out the right way to stop their kids from misbehaving, although that's a more positive analogy than leftism deserves.

But the party is stuck with this.  Just for the last four years, it was all pro-Biden/Harris precisely because they opposed whatever Trump had done.  And yes, you can easily make the argument that they did the same with Hillary and Obama before that.  Which leads to the larger point that this is just what leftism does, both to destroy its enemies and wear out its own supporters.

□ [“John Bolton Transmitted Classified Emails Over Private Server, Intercepted by Hostile Country"]

As the saying goes, a secret stops being a secret when more than one person knows about it.  This may be why Bolton has suddenly started speaking out in public, probably trying to see if anyone will defend him.  I assume he's rich so there must be somebody, but not because he gets so much respect.  He put classified information on his private while working for Trump, then used it as he worked on a book about how horrible Trump was.

Ok.  So what?  He hasn't even been charged with anything, much less arrested or punished.  I get that there's a legal process which the Trump administration is (as far as we know) following.  There's also the notion that leftists gain power through unelected anonymous bureaucrats, so it's possible that Bolton was actually getting higher and higher among those people.  I still think some/many of our elites self-identify as a separate government through which they control the ones we know, maybe this is part of it.

But there's still no sense this is leading anywhere.  If these people are supposed to turn against each other and spill the beans, I guess that makes sense, but until then, there's no reason for this to be public.  If anything, it comes off as trying to overwhelm everyone with too much to keep track of.  Remember Bolton?  Well here's something new about him!  We're all tired of this and there's still no clear objective goal.
