James Comey Indicted – Two Counts:  False Statements And Obstruction of Justice
September 25, 2025

□ [“Hegseth Summons Military’s Top Officials Worldwide For 'Rare and Urgent' Meeting in Virginia"]

I'm guessing that this is primarily about the upcoming government shutdown.  We should be expecting the left to go bonkers any way they can, so obviously there will need to be military preparations in place, along with the usual comment about plans not surviving first contact with the enemy.  They'll need to know where and how to take over if it comes to that.

Al Qaida is demanding attacks on the US, an example of other preparations that need to be accounted for.  Countless other nations and organizations could want this opportunity as well.  China, Soros, the Clintons, Antifa, any number of others.  So I think this will be centered around the shutdown but obviously that's not everything.  We're getting ready to deal with Venezuela too.

But these are just back-up plans in case something goes wrong.  Most likely life will go on as normal, as with other government shutdowns.  The left will do something and it's not clear what, but they won't have their usual protection by the government.  They're also the left so for the most part, they really have no idea what to do.

Not sure how much it's connected, but in the recent spat of videos by people whining about losing their job because they're stupid, it's surprising how many of them make sure to mention how attached to that job they are.  Even low-level employees said they felt like it was their whole lives.  That's just spooky but I suspect it's at least as relevant to government bureaucrats.  No evidence and I can't imagine how this actually works, but it's quite believable that they deluded themselves into thinking this was so important.  At least the military is a 24/7 job and even there you're entitled to time off.  But leftists aren't capable of that.

□ [“Judge Denies Detaining Man Who Aimed Red Laser Pointer at Marine One With Trump Onboard"]

I think judges are still demanding to make the rules for everybody but something about this seems to have gone quieter recently.  The Supreme Court hasn't spoken out very much lately, it's like they're just letting these activists make their attempts.  Or maybe it's at basically the same pace as it's been all year and I'm just not paying much attention.

The laser pointer guy just seems weird.  Doing it deliberately would seem to be an obvious crime, targeting the POTUS.  The aircraft was fairly low so it must have been close to take-off or landing.  Also not clear if Marine One is always a helicopter, which may make a difference here regarding how low the aircraft was.  But even if the guy was close to the airfield or helipad, how would he know that's Trump and not just another random aircraft?  We're missing some details about this.

Anyway, it's not clear how the courts are affected by the government shutdown.  I've just looked it up in several places and still don't get it.  They are affected, they're still operating, their staff might not be paid, there is back-up financing...  At least Congress is a little clearer, they still get paid during a shutdown although their staff doesn't.

So the judges will continue to operate.  We'll see if this makes any difference for the activists, or if the Supreme Court will step in and fix a few things.  Then again, the Supremes might just make things worse.  The last several years will probably be taught in civilized schools for generations as an example of why government must be kept as small as possible.

□ [“Trump Plans Mass Layoffs of Federal Employees If Democrats Shut Down the Government"]

I really want to hope this was always part of the plan.  So much has happened this year that I don't even remember how the threatened shutdown went in March, but it sounds like whatever good will Democrats had is gone.  Federal employees are one of their prized servants but the activist branch of the party thinks the shutdown will be a weapon against Trump.  One of these sides will have to lose and Democrat leaders will need to pick which.

Out of curiosity, what will happen if Republicans cave on Democrat demands?  My guess is Trump would sign the bill because why not?  They've already lost, just go with it.  If he doesn't sign the budget and Congress is in session, it becomes the law anyway.  If Congress is not in session, it's effectively a veto.  I really don't think Trump supporters would go along with this but I also don't know what response they could have.  I'm pretty sure the Republicans won't cave but unlike leftists, notice that I've given some thought to the options if they do.  Like it or not, the enemy gets a vote.

To the extent these people really are a cult, I'm wondering what their behavior will be in this situation.  Depression, desperation, possible suicide?  Or attacking other people?  There's no way to know how needy they are for a regular income, although it's possible government investigators could be very specific on who is broke and who isn't.  It seems unlikely that the better-off would be funding their poorer co-workers although that's a possibility, charity without the government.

Whatever happens will probably be totally unexpected but it's certainly fun to think about the possibilities.  The left has considered themselves to be at war for years, if not decades, so now they'll get a chance to pretend they're really on the front lines.  Or maybe they'll just beg the black community for help after all the assistance they've given them for so long.

DOJ Orders 6+ Attorneys to Investigate a Soros-Funded Organization – Possible Charges Include “Material Support for Terrorism”

□ [“MSM Reports on How Ukraine Is Crumbling Under Military, Political and Economic Problems"]

This was is coming off like watching a re-run of an old tv show and one of its later seasons.  It's like they're just replaying the same things over and over.  Finally admitting Ukraine is losing, Russia keeps moving forward, yet there's never any change in the war itself.  One minor change is that in his UN speech this week, Trump said Ukraine might regain all of its territory, with the EU's help.  Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of Russia.  [quick internet search to make sure that hasn't happened.]  Maybe that could be why the media is now saying this, just to contradict Trump.

The EU is also really trying to get a bigger war started, trying to get Russia to attack them so NATO has a reason to openly respond.  So of course Trump added that of course they could shoot down Russian aircraft in NATO airspace.  Which has already happened.  It can be argued that he's making some subtle point but screw that, there's no way to keep him from getting closer to being at war.

So Russia moves forward, Ukraine's logistics fall apart, drones are showing what they're capable of and this comes off as everybody getting involved in the Spanish Civil War as a prelude for the next big thing.  But that's why I compared it to a lousy sitcom, nobody else is following this anymore and even the most die-hard anti-Russians are happy to stay home and complain on the internet.  Nobody outside the region actually wants to fight this war so the elites, Trump included, deserve to be humiliated if they keep pushing it.
