Judge Dismisses Peter Strzok’s Lawsuit Claiming He Was Illegally Fired During Trump’s First Term

□ [“Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries Beg Trump for Meeting About Gov't Shutdown"]

No idea if we'll actually have a shutdown but this could be fun to watch.  Trump said their budget demands were ridiculous and there would be no productive reason to have a meeting with them.  Their demands were standard leftism, taxpayer-funded transgender surgery for minors and such.  As the Falcon once said, 'do better, senator.'

I checked leftist sites about this and they were thrilled, now they could blame Trump for everything.  Basically they said Congress was 100% irrelevant just to give themselves someone else to blame.  Trump Derangement Syndrome is that devastating.  Otherwise they'd realize that Congress is supposed to have a funding bill and vote for it first before it ever comes to the POTUS.  And these people are on Schumer and Jeffries' side.  If you were in their position, what would you do with your own followers putting this out?

Whether or not the shutdown happens, I'll assume Democrats will give in.  They're the minority party so they don't have much leeway.  They refuse to accept that they're just pushing their moderates away so they'll keep doubling down until it's too late.  They're the ones who demand government employ people and they could restart it any time by passing a budget.  Meanwhile Trump will have much more authority as the only functioning part of the federal government.

I'm not saying they have plans but it's possible that the left will go bonkers in the event of a shutdown.  Their masters might have plans but then they'll need to account for these people desperate for government to fix everything, which isn't going to happen.  That's why I assume Democrats will cave one way or another.  And maybe Trump will have the chance to really use DOGE and get rid of unessential government positions.

□ [“Google Censored Speech At Biden's Urging; Creators Kicked Off the Platform for Telling the Truth Now Welcomed Back"]

This is a big deal and you can understand why the left is suddenly rushing to hide under Jimmy Kimmel to pretend they're being censored.  They need to keep their supporters ignorant of actual censorship by the people they support against people who disagree with them on the orders of government officials.  I think it's unlikely Joe Biden knew anything about this but if he'd been less senile, he would have totally supported it.  Ditto Kamala Harris.

So far there's only footage of one Biden official admitting this, Rob Flaherty as Director of Digital Strategy at the White House.  He had been Digital Director for Biden since 2020, Beto O'Rourke before that and Hillary Clinton before that.  These are common leftist tactics to silence the public.  None of Jimmy Kimmel's supporters see anything wrong with this, much less anything hypocritical.  Doubtful their news bubble will report any of this either.

We'll see if it means anything, but Alphabet (the company that owns Google, Youtube and more) has agreed to restore the people they cancelled on government orders to their social media.  Your mileage may vary but at least on the surface, it's a good move, at least a show of decency.  Of course they'll just be accused of being ten times worse to obey Trump and it is the internet, so it must be true.

□ [“Rob Reiner Tells Bill Maher Democrats Should Only Talk to Republicans With Preconditions"]

Those 'preconditions' are that they must agree on certain facts, which is impossible when one side thinks reality is whatever their words currently mean.  Reality is not going to comply with that but these people disagree.  There is no conversation possible.

Reiner had to be put away after the election but he had to come out to promote the new Spinal Tap movie, which by the way seems to have bombed.  Maybe they weren't intending it to be a hit and expect people to see it at home, but in a week and a half, it hasn't made $3 million.  Even I was slightly tempted to see it, but it looks like nobody wanted to see these aging leftists again.  Maybe, as Reiner would put it, we have some preconditions and they are not being met.

The elite left, at least their Hollywood membership, has clearly thought of *something* to try next.  Not sure what it is, it comes of as being dominative and expecting everyone else to be, what do you call, submissive.  Even weirder, I think the big companies in Hollywood are ready for this too.  Not sure whose side they're on - although I automatically assume they're leftists - but they may be ready to purge these people.

A few others, whose names I probably recognize, are making ridiculous public comments too.  Keith Olbermann is attacking someone from CNN yesterday and must have been called by someone because he had to rush out a big apology today.  They want more violence but still think it won't be returned on them tenfold.  There's really only one way they're going to learn a lesson, so when does it start and where?
