Trump Directs Every Federal Agency to Cease Use of Anthropic After AI Company Refuses to Comply with Pentagon’s Demands

□ [“15 Countries Tell Citizens to Get Out of Iran Now – Explosions Reported Outside Tehran"]
□ [“Hezbollah and Taliban Bombed Overnight"]

Things are finally getting started, almost two months after we took down Maduro.  Not happy about that delay but it is what it is.  Reportedly Israel and Pakistan are the ones behind these other bombings.  I'm guessing we were all in agreement on when and how to do this, I doubt either of these countries just woke up and decided it was a good day to hit their neighbors.  It's not clear what they could do to help Iran although maybe it's about Iran not being able to help them.

It's speculated that the explosions outside Tehran were for their air defense system.  Quite possible but I've been wondering if Trump is ready to show off whatever new technology the military has going for it.  He's given hints about some of this stuff but that means the possibility that our enemies have it too.  Even if it's not some newly-invented megaweapon, Iran would still try to keep its best tools hidden.  More maybe it was the mullah's secret headquarters.

But the thing that really strikes me is that this stated happing just as Bill Clinton was testifying to Congress.  I cannot get it out of my mind that there have been plans underway since he was in the Oval Office and his appearance today was one of the last steps required.  I also got that impression yesterday when a congresswoman stupidly texted a pic of Hillary to get it posted online and responded to criticism with a reference to the 9/11 sequel Hillary made happen in Libya.  Can't imagine what it is - and I've been trying - but something to do with long-range communications and signals being sent out.  This is the sort of thing people who handle was have to think about, if you can conceive it, your enemy can too, so who figures it out first?

Anyway, the White House has issued its demands and call them 'non-negotiable.'  It has nothing to do with the mullahs leaving, it's all about Iran never again having a nuclear program.  The ayatollah has already said that's not an option.  It's not known if he's called Chico and Harpo to sing 'to war we gotta go.'  I hope he did, they could use some good entertainment like that.

□ [“Paramount Wins Bidding War for Warner Bros/Discovery After Netflix Pulls Out"]

Definitely not following these corporate purchases.  I'm aware that Netflix is a streaming service but I'm pretty sure the other megacorporations have streaming services so I have no clue what they'd be different.  As you may guess, I don't watch streaming or follow these financial affairs, I'm still wondering what happened to the AOL/Time-Warner logo.

But what did get my attention was a week ago when Susan Rice called out Trump supporters as being harshly punished as soon as Democrats take power again.  She's on the Netflix Board of Directors and these corporate acquisitions require government approval.  As I've noted before, she's been part of the 'deep state' since the Clinton administration and worked for Michael Dukakis before that.  Her parents were also wealthy deep-staters so it's generational.

That's what I think Trump was going after with his remarks about Netflix and I suspect that's why they gave up on the takeover of AOL/Time-Warner.  Companies like Disney get the most attention for what they purchase but this sounds like a standard attempt to grab tons of IPs and try to mix them with the IPs the corporation already owned.  Apparently Warners is in horrible financial status these days so they're desperate for anyone to take over but then, knowing absolutely thing about it, I'd assume Paramount is too.  The enormous amount of money being funneled through these megacorps can always show that they're one step away from bankruptcy if you look at it a certain way.

Trump Says US “Could Very Well End Up Having a Friendly Takeover of Cuba” – “They’re in Big Trouble”

□ [“Bill Clinton Testifies Under Oath That Trump Was Not Involved with Epstein"]

He's also testified under oath that he did not put his penis in an female's body until he ejaculated, look how that worked out.  You really want to trust someone who would bring his wife to Trump and Melania's wedding?  Or who had Epstein aid Ghislaine help set up the Clinton Foundation and attend Chelsea's wedding?  Epstein himself kept visiting the White House while Clinton was there.  There's a point where you really should know what's going on around you if you want people to believe you're in charge of anything.

He gets really defensive about Hillary being involved with these hearings, insisting that she had nothing to do with it.  You don't tell her everything you do, you think she tells you everything?  For that matter, he gives the impression that she doesn't even know what she's doing.  The committee has also said that Hillary was really bitchy yesterday, like a self-appointed queen, and always pointed to her husband as responsible for everything.  It's like when it was her job to keep someone from dying and he'd been under attack for weeks, so she decides to not be communicated by anybody and then twelve hours later, it's not her fault he died.  What, at this point, difference does it make?

One of the committee members has suggested Epstein was more involved in getting intelligence.  This lines up with him supposedly working for the CIA or FBI or whoever.  It's believable but does raise the question of whether the intelligence was the goal or just a tool used for whatever the real goal was.  My guess would be the latter, otherwise how was he so close to those in power right from the start?  Maybe he used to party at Club 54 and hooked up with some people who went on to become famous and it built from there, but we really need more in the way of explanations about everything.

□ [“Gavin Newsom Says J.D. Vance Scares Him More Than Trump"]

People have long pointed out that the left always goes after whoever the current Republican leader is as the worst ever.  But as we see here, some of them have started moving on to Vance.  In a way that's understandable, Trump is old, can't be re-elected, calling him "dictator" won't change that, just move on to the next potential candidate.  Pretty sure they were saying this about Mike Pence several years ago.

But I'm not sure it's going to work this time.  Trump Derangement Syndrome has just run so deep into these people that I don't think they can just transfer it to someone else.  It's like when you want to kill your girlfriend but then she dumps you so you're on the rebound and hook up with someone else.  That desire to see her dead isn't going to just move over to the new girl in a calm rational way.  Um, so I hear.  Not that I would know or anything.  Sorry, I'll get back to the topic.

My point is that Trump can be replaced but their obsession with him doesn't work the same way.  The problem really sinks in because those in charge of the left do have a lot of experience manipulating their followers in just that way.  I always look back to mid-November 2004 when I saw this and realized we were headed for another Civil War.  I had been checking some leftist sites and noticed that they had subtly changed their attitude about GWB.  He was still the worst monster ever [the worst monster so far!] but he had won re-election so they were stuck with him for the next four years, time to move on.

That's what Newsom is trying to do with Vance here but as I said, I don't think that's going to work.  The main reason is because they really don't understand how deeply Trump has hooked up to the pro-American mindset but there's also the devout insanity of the anti-American left.  They can't just spend four years ranting about Orange Man and then making that eight years and now having to get through yet-another four years.  That's just too much for any sane mind to handle and we're talking about leftists here.
