Oxford Union’s DEI President Who Celebrated Charlie Kirk Murder is Finally Removed From Office

□ [“Trump Posts A.I. Video of Himself in Fighter Jet Dumping Sewage on 'No Kings' Protesters"]

I'm pretty sure he doesn't post these memes.  Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't even see all of them although he's good at multitasking so maybe he does.  But it's making the point that only the people at these events are foolish enough to think it mattered.  Enough pix have come out to show that these were all 'whites only' events and we're getting other videos of the attendees acting like, well, leftists, praising Charlie Kirk's murderer and so on.

Other videos have people being asked what they're doing here, how they're oppressed by Trump, and not having a clue how to answer.  They do admit that they were "trained" on how to handle these peaceful protests and attendees were all given professionally-printed instruction cards.  [I only accepted one but there were others.]  So *someone* was doing this at every single one of the thousands of protests yesterday.  That's not a spontaneous gathering of individuals.  Those would require a structured organization to provide leadership and training.  These are employees, contractors, someone paid them to be here.  And there were federal investigators among the crowds to identify where the money came from.

Probably won't be tomorrow, maybe even not this week, but my guess is the leading Democrats will see this isn't helping.  The attendance will probably be exaggerated to hundreds of millions of people but from what we saw, all of them together wouldn't be able to handle a group of men with guns who arrived to have a real fight.  And since they only got old white people to show up, that means large parts of society wanted no part of this.

Can't remember who put it out last week, but Democrats were going to wait until after these protests to consider reopening the government.  Just the way that sounded reminded me of last year when Joe Biden was under a lot of pressure to drop out of the race.  It was said that they'd make a final decision on Sunday, which turned out to be the day after Trump was shot.  It's like they didn't get the results they wanted so Biden was dumped a week later.  I really get the impression this was the same, there was supposed to be this nationwide revolution against the false king.  I never thought it was a coincidence that that Sunday was also the anniversary of the French Revolution so *someone* was hoping to take Trump out the day before.

[Out of curiosity, I looked up anniversaries of today and yesterday to see if anything was relevant to leftists, or to me.  Didn't find much.  Today is the anniversary of the deaths of both Charles Babbage, Thomas Edison and Walt Kelly.  Yesterday's anniversaries are more interesting but not especially relevant.  The last day of the Hundred Years War, the marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, Martin Luthor becomes a doctor.  The Siege of Yorktown ends, bringing the American Revolution close to an end.  Napoleon retreats from Moscow.  Neat stuff but little I saw as a justification to pick this day to have leftist rallies.]

9-year-old Boy and 10-year-old Girl R*pe and Scalp 5-year-old Cleveland Girl – Charged with Felonies Including Attempted Murder

Day 19 without a federal government.  Man, I'm still flying from yesterday's revolution.  We overwhelmed the tyrants and shot down all the white men (except me) and now we'll just live in peaceful harmony with the earth and the stars and Sydney Sweeney.  Man, this sh*t is great.  You want some?

But I gotta admit, there's a little bit of depression now.  What are we supposed to do next?  At least if we had a federal government tell us what to do, there'd be some sort of direction.  Now all we can do is wait for a leftist billionaire to tell Congress to tell the media to tell us what's happening next.  That works in a 'comfort food' sort of way but there's a slight chance that one or two Americans won't completely agree with that and without them, we aren't united.  And then what will we do?  See?  I'm just going around in circles!  You got any more of that sh*t?

□ [“Hamas Violates Trump’s Peace Deal, Launches 'Several Attacks' Against Israeli Troops"]

I did point out that this wouldn't last although I'm pretty sure even I didn't think it would be over this quickly.  Hamas says Israel started it.  On the bright side, it gives the philistines a reason to unite again instead of having Hamas kill them.  And Israel never gets any credit for anything.

I'm sure everybody knew this would happen, at least everybody relevant.  Trump recently made comments warning Hamas not to do anything or he'd kill them, suggesting that we have spies or drones on the ground and knew that they were already planning to break the ceasefire.  Or maybe it's just as obvious as the sun rising in the east.

So until further notice, I will assume the ceasefire is over.  As always, I hope Trump doesn't get involved, which means Trump will probably get involved.  So what's Europe going to do about it?  They're busy enough trying to get ready for war with Russia, they can't exactly attack Israel too.  Although to be fair, there would be a lot more people in their countries willing to enlist for that.  We'll see if the EU really believed this ceasefire would last.

□ [“Kamala Harris Suggests She Was the Most Qualified Presidential Candidate in US History"]

She has nothing else going on in her life.  Not sure she's got the $20 million campaign debt fixed but one part of negotiations was that she'd go out to promote Democrats.  She probably thinks she's important to somebody, somewhere.  So she's been making more public appearances recently.  Along with the reasons above, there is an argument to be made that she's one of the most prominent Democrats of the current crop.  Then she says idiotic things like this in public and her stock will just keep dropping.

Obviously she's not coming back in any capacity.  She's not capable of doing anything and anyone who could steal enough votes for her would pick someone else.  Younger, more attractive, less stupid, that sort of thing.  But she has nowhere else to go and, true or not, there's at least the impression that some people out there liked her.  They'd ditch her without hesitation but leftism is just the sort of thing you can always come back to.  Lenin and Trotsky despised each other but suddenly the revolution happened and the only way to get anything out of it was to work together, suddenly they're close allies.

But this is laughable.  And here she is talking about how great she is with no clue what she's saying.  This will only work on people just as mindless and the people-in-charge must realize that there's a limit to how much you can do with them.  It's possible that one reason she's been getting publicity lately was to help promote yesterday's protests, but she demonstrates here how limited the potential is.  Just another example that the left isn't about raising up people who aren't doing well, it's about tearing down people who are because *equality!*
