Day 21 without a federal government.  Me and my friends are getting kinda sick of not having a government.  Yeah, there's no rules or regulations we have to follow but we also can't get anybody to pay for us any longer.  If the government doesn't come back, one of us might need to get a real job and I think we all can agree that it shouldn't be me doing that.  But whoever it is that takes up the challenge, I want you to know that we all support you.  As long as you keep funding us.  You know, something about this doesn't sound right.  Let me try again.

Day 21 without a federal government.  Me and my friends are so thrilled that we don't have a government because that way we never have to think about Trump or listen to anything he says.  But wait, so what are we complaining about then?  Trump has the government so we want it shut down and it's bad to shut the government down so keep the government shut down until you give into our demands to... reopen the government.  Am I still getting paid for this?

□ [“Democrats Fear the Backlash from Their Base If They Re-Open the Government"]

This is an interesting view, that the party-in-general is willing to re-open the government but the activists would execute them for this.  These people bring guillotines to rallies and are very happy to hear people they don't like have been shot, so "execute them" is literal.  Ok, so how do you explain that to the rest of the party?  Doesn't sound good.

Another problem they're facing is how many in the party can actually think and aren't activists?  That is, the activists are trying to tear everything down, they are active leftists.  Everybody around them is just doing what they're told, copying what they see, or just sitting there and wasting space.  Who else is there in the party that can actually do something and isn't getting noticed?  What would it take to get them involved?

Last weekend's protests were supposed to keep the party united but it sounds like they did the opposite.  Siding with naked bicyclists to justify keeping the government shut-down isn't going to appeal to very many people but it will please those who want anyone they don't like to be killed.  They are having to go more public about this and it's just going to repulse even more people.  It's like they thought the protests would lead to things going their way and are surprised to find it's going the other way.

It just came out that the price of gas is lower than it's been since Trump's first term.  That's the sort of thing that makes a big deal to people, especially since it makes transport for everything else cheaper.  That's an actual benefit people can see, the Democrat base has nothing so blatantly clear.  And there's more of that if you look, that's what the right brings to the table. The left is trying to hide that they're not bringing, only taking.

Interesting.  There are some questions, like 'why don't we already have one of these?' and 'why are you telling everybody we're getting one?'  This is training for urban combat and I assume it's about linking the NG from each state for easy contact and teamwork.  Seems strange that it'll take another six months to establish but that's the military for you.

And that's what the military is there for.  A black chick making these demands?  Not a good move.  This is just encouraging violence as the left has been doing all year.  This comes across as more tribal than you might expect and may explain why blacks found something else to do last weekend but it's still not a good look for them.  It just comes across as showing off how bad our opponents are while the forces on our side are specifically training and preparing for the worst.

I think one major question now comes down to 'do they actually have organizing and strategy or are they just deluded enough to believe they do?'  I've made the point before that the military has to assume they have plans and many people have pointed out that a lot of leftist success comes from people thinking they have plans when they don't.  I've always assumed that's why they love Heath Ledger in Dark Knight.  But it's not going to work.

And we're checking through their global funding and connections.  Venezuela is one target although I'm sure there are others.  The Trump administration is really trying to work out the enemy's chain-of-command and what they're doing.  We're not given much in the way of details but the basic outline makes sense, trying to identify the enemy from top-to-bottom.

Day 22 without a federal government.  Man, it's so weird to not have anything to love and cuddle you the way only a federal government can do.  It's not like ditching a wife or your kids, you can always find more of those.  But a federal government, it's very easy to lose but very hard to regain after you've lost it.  This is the first time it's ever happened in my lifetime, except for the other times it shut down.  I don't know how anyone's going to live through it.

Maybe that's the real meaning of life.  If we're good people, we'll die and there will always be a federal government for us to love.  But if we're bad, we'll go to a place where there is no federal government and everybody suffers.  But wait, if there's no federal government down there, who runs the place?  Ok, this is getting kinda spooky.  I'd be almost tempted to go to a church if they weren't all shut down as part of the federal government.  Why are you looking at me like that?

□ [“House Democrats Announce Plans to Launch 'Master ICE Tracker' to Dox ICE Agents"]

The Obama administration established ICE, Trump as able to make use of it.  House Democrats will establish the way for citizens to track government employees to their homes, you think Trump might find a way to make use of that?  Never establish any government policy you wouldn't want your enemies to be able to use, what part of that don't you get?

And this is what these people do when they get paid but don't have a federal government to work at.  I'm starting to get the impression ICE was deliberately chosen to be the target of the left.  They never cite any laws ICE actually breaks, or any justification for hating it, they're just leftists and that's what they do.  Notice that no one's asking Obama or Biden why they kept ICE around, or even Trump in his first term.  ICE just magically showed up evil nine months ago.

This is the government establishing a tool to attack government employees, you don't think China and Russia can find a way to make use of that?  The more I think about this, the more pointless it appears.  These people could be doing more to help the needy at a homeless shelter but that wouldn't be about fighting the government so nevermind.  Meanwhile ICE is actually going after sex predators, at least those that aren't protected by Congress.  Yet.

□ [“Irish Citizens Explode After Algerian Migrant Rapes 10-Year-Old Girl – Police Attack Protesters"]

I had assumed the European/British protests had died down but since the elites are siding with the invaders, the citizens will continue being attacked and the protests will restart.  Might as well just keep them going permanently until you're finally able to get rid of your rulers.  Doesn't Ireland have any experience with that?  Well, get some, because things aren't going to change otherwise.

I really hope the Trump administration has contacts with the British protestors and can supply them with what they need, and not only guns.  I'm glad to hear about the protests but I'm quite worried that Britain and Europe-in-general are all past-tense.  We need some actual proof that anything worth fighting for remains, the spirit that defeated the same invaders in Spain and Gaul in the west and Vienna in the east.  Otherwise this is what Europeans are left to.

I'm not sure which would be worse, if the EU leaders are secretly Muslims and have been planning this all along to replace their people, or if they're just standard leftists and can be manipulated by Muslims to make this happen.  I do think we're at a point where people will just say 'I've had enough of that,' whether they're talking about a skin color, a religion or just being leftist.  Or any of the several dozen genders, people will just not care what happens to these people anymore.

□ [“House Minority Whip Top Katherine Clark (D-MA) Admits Shutdown Causes Suffering But 'It is One of the Few Leverage Times We Have'"]

You've got to cause physical harm to people to change their policies.  Democrats are totally fine with that.  They don't really need the shutdowns, any excuse to cause suffering is fine with them.  I am noticing that, for all the rhetoric and details about the ridiculous spending all across the board, the party seems to be primarily focused on Obamacare.  Strange how it was supposed to fix the healthcare system that Democrats have complained about for the last fifteen years since Obamacare got started.

There's the funding health care for illegals, that's probably the main long-term goal.  Not really clear how that's done but the whole point is to be so ridiculously-complicated that no one can really understand what's going on.  But IIRC, the immediate problem is that subsidies are supposed to end in November.  Without subsidies, prices will skyrocket on the medical insurance that everybody is still required to purchase.  The short-term bill which Republicans have voted for would provide some relief but that's why Democrats refuse to go along, they want a permanent change without having to have a majority vote.

It also sounds like other welfare checks will stop next month if the government stays shut.  Sounds like the point is to get these people to start rioting.  There's no way that couldn't be the intended goal, probably supposed to line up with last weekend's old white people protests.  More stores will be looted but otherwise this seems equally pointless.  Will there be a third step of riots or will two be enough to win everything?  And what use will China and its allies make of this?
