□ [“UK PM Starmer Floats Sending Troops to Greenland for Security to Keep Trump From Seizing It"]

Would these be the troops you want to send to Ukraine or are these separate troops?  Sounds like you're preparing to deploy a lot of young men and still don't have any real justification for it.  And you don't need their consent either.

I do assume there's a genuine reason Trump has been talking about wanting Greenland, probably something to do with the Arctic and hunting down those terrorist-supporting illegal elves Santa has slaving away in his workshop, but I can't stop thinking that this is just a hoax.  Trump is suckering Europe as an excuse to kick the US out of NATO so they can promote their wars without him.  Then they'll find out they don't have any worthwhile military forces and we won't be called to help.

The UK has 18,000 combat capable troops and another 60,000 that don't have the training, equipment or the will to fight.  They can get arrested for praying in silence, why would they risk their lives for this country?  And why aren't the new Muslim citizens eager to enlist?  Why don't you even ask why they're not eager?

I'm pretty sure the UK and EU are on Trump's list of targets, governments that need to be taken down.  I'm sure he's doing what he can to help the citizens do the actual work but these tyrants need to fall.  I'm half-tempted to try making a list of what governments need to fall in the next six months to have a world-wide celebration of the Declaration of Independence.

Oh boy, he's got another target ready.  My understanding is that they've been basically supported by Venezuela since Hugo Chávez took over back in 1999 and they probably didn't expect that to change.  So now they've had problems over the last week or so.  Probably also been cut off from frauded US taxpayer money so they have sudden financial problems in addition to the problems they already had.  The guy who's been in charge for the last six years was born after the revolution and is only the third person to be in charge of Cuba since the revolution.  At least the Castros knew what life was like without them.  Similar to how Gorbachev was the only Soviet leader who had been born after their revolution and he was the last one they had.

As critical as I am on things Trump hasn't gotten done here at home and his foolishly getting involved with other countries, these take-down of tyrants is something I totally support.  I suspect that these tyrants have been attacking the US for a long time anyway so his wiping them out is justified.  No wars, just big hits at the top of their social ladders.  The US will do what we can to help afterwards but otherwise let these nations solve their own problems.  Notice how the media is deliberately not asking any Venezuelans what they think of Trump helping them.  They're also paying very little attention to Iran.

No news about Iran, at least nothing we can trust.  But we're told the protests are huge and all across the country.  The mullahs are ordering them punished and at least some guards are refusing.  If true, it's still more of a sign that their end is near.  So was 2025 about setting up a functional military that could handle these dictatorships and ready to do the work by 2026?

□ [“Feds Release List of Violent Criminal Aliens Arrested in Minnesota — Child Rapists, Sodomizers, Killers Roamed Free for Years"]

One of the reasons for these ICE raids on 'sanctuary cities' which of course the left needs to ignore.  They'll probably be the last people to realize things have changed while everybody else is getting by without having to deal with these criminals.  Or lose taxpayer money to fund them.  Or pay more for businesses to handle them.  This is one of those impacts on society that might be so big it's impossible to see it clearly.

The media is hiding this, the city and state governments are trying to lie about this.  I'm curious what local businesses are doing about these protests.  They might be attacked if they say the wrong things.  So they all keep trying to promote the illusion that there's something justified about attacking ICE - and letting us know that they consider anyone who disagrees with them is a legitimate target - but they really have nothing to fall back on.  It's also becoming increasingly obvious that the majority of these protestors are old white women and their servants.

They've gotten away with this mass self-delusion for years so it's understandable why they think it'll work this time but it's still mind-boggling how they don't see how this will fail them.  I saw a leftist site today trying to convince everybody to go on strike and although some people pointed out how it wouldn't happen, nobody even dared to mention that they were expected to do that for a week November.  All these demands with no basis in reality, yet they completely ignore the results or lack-thereof, which is why these illegal alien criminals had such leeway for so long.

Interesting.  This footage appeared to be a directional weapon.  The effect was immense heat.  Not sure how that would be relevant to a sonic weapon but it's certainly a useful tool anyway.  The footage was at Quantico, a Marine base in Virginia.  A Marine was shown at the beginning and someone else looked like a service member but was too covered up to determine what branch but this was 2013 so it makes me wonder if any of my teams at the time had a weapon like this.

I don't think this would be a game-changer to war the way drones are but these weapons do come across as real-life sci-fi.  It does seem kind of strange that it's now becoming public - despite the footage from 2013 - but it may just be time for it to come out.  Can't be using it so heavily and still expect it to be kept secret.  Also makes you wonder what else we've got.

I'll assume other countries have these weapons too.  It might also be too expensive or difficult to power for any major use of it.  It's just interesting that we're finally getting a clue what new technology is being brought to the warzone.

“We have to show up with guns.  There’s no other way around it.  I don’t care if I don’t have a Minnesota carry permit.  I'm unarmed right now but this is the last time I show up to face these guys without a weapon!  The time for speaking is over.  The time for niceties is over.  The time for peace is over.  It’s time for the Bullet Box.  By any means necessary!”

Yeah, I'm sure that'll work out well.  You do realize that it's not going to be ICE you have to shoot, don't you?  There will be police officers who go after you, the FBI.  They might even call in the military, you ready to shoot them too?  Oh and by the way, you don't have a carry permit?  So even without shooting people, you'll be breaking the law.

So we can assume that this guy's name, address and workplace will be posted online soon, making sure that everybody could find him first if they really want to.  I'm not much of a judge of these things but he doesn't strike me as someone with much experience with a firearm so he's going to need some practice before he gets started.  He also lost self-control while making this speech so he might not be that good for a stressful situation.  It says a lot about the mentality of people who think this is a good idea.

I can't imagine how this would be timed so deliberately but Iranians are going through an actual revolution now with actual risks.  Not old fat women mouthing off from their cars and idiot males like this but a whole population ready to overthrow their tyrants.  But the leftists who support these Minnesota protests have to ignore that.  Basically they're all talk.

Nothing to point to but I get the impression that these protests have reached a tipping point.  They'll continue for a while and they might even get bigger, they'll certainly take place outside of Minneapolis, but something about this just gives me the impression that it's just hot air and even those in charge realize that.  It's similar to the Bud Lite ad of a few years ago, the trans movement didn't just collapse then and there, but I always point to that as where enough people had enough of dealing with this and the activists were just hurting their own cause.

And just a note, I'm trying to check in the footage and so far I've only found one person who's definitely black.  Two others that might not be white.  It's cold out, people are covered up, there's probably a few but I'm getting the impression that they're not pushing for diversity.  Anecdotally, I've seen several videos posted by blacks who are clearly not in favor of these protests.

The mullahs have ordered people off the streets and have shut down the internet to hide the truth from the world.  So we're at the point where we don't know what's going to happen.  But all accounts, Trump is sending in the Air Force although it's not clear what they could do to support the protestors.  They might be hitting the regime itself, definitely a good thing.  It would be funny if the ayatollah is in the cell next to Maduro by tomorrow.

They've made sure to get some promotion pics sent out, numbers shots of Iranian women without burkas, smoking a cigarette and using it to set fire to the Ayatollah's picture, all of which are crimes in Iran.  There's also the footage of large crowds although that's probably dwindled without the internet.  This isn't like Ukraine, this is a nation we have long-standing problems with and should take down the tyrants.  Trump has also sent the Air Force in to hit ISIS in Syria which is probably connected.

□ [“White House Suggests Military Used Sonic Weapon During Maduro Capture – Witness ‘Never Seen Anything Like It’"]

Ok, I think we're seeing a game-changer here.  There's not much detail, the witness was apparently one of the guards.  He says the radar was shut down somehow and then a sonic weapon hit them.  Not clear if it was fatal or even permanent damage but it took the guards out, those that weren't already being shot.  So it might not be able to take down the Revolutionary Guard and other armed forces of Iran but it could definitely respond to anything they're doing to protestors.  Pretty sure they wouldn't be right next to the protestors so they're easier targets.  If this is true then I'm now certain the regime will soon be gone.  And if it's not used already, Trump will be sending it up against the cartels in the south.

I saw this video a few days ago and it was hilarious but so ridiculous that I immediately forgot about it.  She didn't convert because she saw truth in Islam, she saw a fresh audience to push her feminist ideology.  And she does deserve credit for that, I'm not sure I've ever heard anyone trying that before.  It's only taken 25 years but she'd finally heard enough about how Muslims don't like gays to decide she needed to go through their 'tests' to join and then start demanding they submit to her will.

I'm guessing she won't get much support, inside or outside the Muslim world.  Inside, she'll probably be ignored very quickly, especially by other women.  Outside, liberals will still continue ignoring Islam because duh, they're the infidel.  There probably are leftists who have tried this over the years but there's probably a reason we never hear about that.

One advancement Islam is well-overdue for is that people who know the truth still have the right to reject it.  Until then, this lady will be in big trouble when she finally gets fed up with her feminism not getting anywhere.  Well, maybe not, she's in a western country and I'm not aware of Muslims enforcing that rule in countries that they aren't in charge of but I'm sure they'll make it very unpleasant for her.  Can't say she doesn't deserve it.

Do you think either of them care about 'contempt of Congress'?  It's not like they've had to obey Congress before and it's not like their supporters think the laws apply to everybody.  They already turned down previous orders to testify.  Supposedly capitol police will be sent to arrest them if they don't show up and are found guilty of contempt, which doesn't seem likely.  So then what are you gonna do?

On the off chance they do show up, the hearings won't be public.  We'll just get a brief synopsis of what was talked about and no reason to believe any of it.  So really it'll all come down to asking if the Clintons will get away with defying Congress or if they'll all collaborate against the rest of us.  These people all know each other, they've been together in private for decades.

All the obsession the left has had with Epstein this year will suddenly vanish when the Clintons are involved.  Just believe what you're told and that's all you need to know.  I'd like to speculate on how this is actually part of Trump 2.0's plan but I'm out of ideas on that.  Almost a quarter of the way done with Trump on this run and there's no indication that anything will ever happen here.  About the only thing that could change my mind is if the Clintons suddenly start freaking out in public before their 'scheduled' appearance next week.  Tuesday and Wednesday IIRC so that's not much more than the weekend for anything to happen.

Well that's a given.  I keep pointing out that they've been waiting months for someone to finally get shot and have been trying to make their puppets ready for violence.  It finally worked and now they're thrilled.  More footage has come out from the ICE agent, he wasn't going after anyone, they were harassing him and finally decided to kill him.  Their attempt failed, his response didn't.

The media jumps on this, the left obeys.  It's all they know and they're always deluded enough to think this time it'll work out for them.  Most people are going to realize that getting involved in stunts like this is a bad idea.  Those who don't, well, we can do without them.  You have the right to kill someone who is trying to kill you, this brainless lesbian and her wife were doing just that.

□ [“Chicago PD Chief Larry Snelling Issues Brutal Warning to Leftist Mobs Targeting ICE Agents"]

I never expected to side with a Chicago police officer but there you go.  He spells it out, they have the right to protect themselves, trying to hit people with a car is deliberately using deadly force.  I'm sure the left is going to keep pushing this and it will get worse in more cities but I suspect they'll reach a limit much sooner than they expect.  Haven't heard anything about them actually blocking cars for a while because it was explicitly shown that the cars can just keep moving.

It still seems ridiculously stupid but it's the left.  All these years I've been predicting Civil War 2.0 and here we are.  They really think they're ready to fight but they're really as worthless as this chick was.  Everyone is expendable to the left so they can try to make a point and this is about as competent as they get.  A minor injury for the one they're trying to kill and another dead leftist.

They've even tried to take over several blocks in Minneapolis, an “autonomous zone” with walls to keep people out.  They don't even get the contradiction with their own beliefs.  We've seen these before with Antifa, Occupy Wall Street, BLM and the rest.  They're going to get sick and tired of their own space.  And how are they going to keep warm in January?

These are ways to cut off the money being stolen as well as adding knew measures to indicate fraud.  Some things are just for security, it's not illegal to send money out of the country but it will be checked to make sure you aren't mailing out your welfare check.  I'm sure there will still be options for fraud and of course government agents expected to prevent this can be lazy, but it's a start.  And this can mostly be handled within the Executive Branch, I'm pretty sure Congress doesn't have a lot of laws on stuff like this and what they do have was already being ignored.

It's obviously centered around Minnesota but I think it's safe to assume they're implementing these new measures across the board.  Whether or not people in other states are connected to the Somalis here, a lot of them are doing the same things so they'll be just as easy to catch, if anyone actually looks for them.  And unless they're willing to declare independence from the federal government, cities and states won't have many options to resist.  I'm sure the left things that'll work perfectly but they're just ignoring how many people in their own regions don't support this and never have.

Will Congress try to get involved?  I'm not sure how but Democrats will continue the same idiocy as the lower ranks are trying.  They're already promising to not impeach Trump if they win this years, they're obviously lying.  I'm not even sure they'll wait that long, they may try anything.  A judge is already trying to block Trump from cutting off welfare to blue states with this fraud.  This year is already hectic.

Looking it up, his cult, "The Order of Nine Angles" is apparently real, founded in the 1970s in Wales.  Satanic leftism, so yeah, they probably had contact with Hollywood big names anyway.  I'm not sure if I'm joking or not, it sounds like there'd be a lot of groups like this going around over the last 50 or 60 years, especially from the more elite families.

So now this twerp did this to kill Trump and that was just a way to cause chaos?  Maybe they'd kill Vance too.  That's the plan.  Maybe this is why the left supports 'population reduction' so much, projecting their own worthlessness onto others.  And this was just about planning to buy a drone and explosives like that's all they need.  Makes me wonder if this is all a joke, how could you get people this idiotic?  And yes, they support human sacrifice.

Anecdotally, people are turning to religion more these days.  I'm not even sure that's a benefit of scripture itself, just that there are the demon-worshippers I keep referring to and this comes off as the best protection against them.  Probably one reason religion lasts for so long, because after seeing people like this who guarantee their failure, eventually sane people look for something that actually works.

The left has been so overwhelmed by their support for Madura, now they need to side with the mullahs too.  Anything that makes Trump look good, they oppose it, no exceptions.  I've been trying to ignore them for the time being because what's going on in Iran is more important but unfortunately the left isn't as easy to ignore as I'd like.

Not sure if Russia reports the same thing to its people that it reports to the rest of the world because that would be significant.  If Iran is an ally and Russia is telling its own people that Iran's leaders are done and will be looking for new jobs, that's a big deal.  Not sure what it means if Russia is reporting this differently to its own people, who is the media telling the truth to and why?  It's speculated that the mullahs would be moving there, as Assad did when Syria overthrew him.

I'm still optimistic, reportedly the protests are growing, even some city officials are turning to side with them.  But I'm not sure they have enough yet and I'm not sure what they would need to make the overthrow happen.  Don't really have any justification but I've always had the impression the mullahs are better at self-restraint that most despots.  I'm not aware that they constantly come up with new things people need to do for constant distraction, that's why the mullahs have been able to handle big protests before.

Neither bill is likely to pass in the other house and Trump is willing to veto these bills if they pass anyway, so what is Congress doing?  They've clearly gotten together to push the next phase of Trump Derangement but I really don't see the point here.  It's not going to convince anybody to side with them.  The ones who want Obamacare are already with you and the Venezuela war has already been over for a while.

I guess that's why these come off as so strange and unrelated.  Maduro was targeted as a criminal, not a national leader.  Obama and Biden used this too when offering rewards for his arrest, this just shows that the left is lying to their audience.  So then what about Obamacare subsidies, where people at least know they get other people's money to pay for this stuff.  Maybe the uniparty is just trying to show that they don't always go along with Trump but that just seems stupid, so what else is the point?

The Senate is also arguing about a "second reconciliation," whatever that means but its point would be to start hitting some of the ways fraudsters operate.  And again, most Republicans side with Democrats, they're all fine with the way things are now.  As unproductive as Congress has been for the last year, when they actually try to get something done *this* is what they come up with.  As if you didn't have enough reason to hate politicians.

He didn't do that when BLM was burning cities down.  He hasn't done that when illegal immigrants kill Minnesotans.  But now he suddenly has a reason just because some lesbian didn't kill the guy she tried to drive over with a car.  Walz and Keith Ellison are being investigated by the DoJ for taking part in Somali fraud so this is an excuse to make people forget about that.

They're trying to make this spread.  School in Minneapolis has been cancelled for a while so everybody can go out and protest - and still get paid.  In Portland, more people were shot after trying to run over Border Patrol.  The media is trying to push their puppets even further into this.  In a way, they have no other options, their side isn't getting much federal funding anymore, so they need to act soon.

Will Trump use the Insurrection Act and send in more military?  I think he's justified but a lot of people disagree, probably even some who work for Trump.  We're also hearing about the driver who's just coming off more and more as an expendable tool.  The lesbian couple lived in Kansas City, but hated Trump so they moved to Canada, but for some reason didn't like it there either so they had gone back to Minnesota where they started trying to block federal agents.  Were they paid for this?

The driver couldn't hold a marriage or a job but did get trained by “ICE Watch” on how to go after these federal agents.  So basically she just did what she was told, like leftists do.  Her wife even made sure to get out of the vehicle to film her trying to drive over a federal agent.  Probably didn't say 'be careful you don't get shot' and look how that worked out.

We know the left will keep pushing this.  They'll try to get as many of their people shot as possible so they can "inspire" more.  I don't think that will really work but it will have some affect in the short-term.  And as much as possible they'll make it happen in other blue cities.  They're trying to get as many people as possible to resist but how many will actually be capable of doing anything?

The Somali childcare place that was originally investigated and started this has now gone out of business.  It's almost like they were doing illegal things all along.  Investigator Nick Shirley has released the second part of his scoop, that Somalis are also doing this with transport companies that charge the taxpayer but provide no vehicles to use.

Somalis are threatening Democrats to shut the hell up about this fraud, or else.  I'm sure most Democrats will obey but some of them might see the problems of obeying this and will look for ways out of the obvious trap.  I'm kind of surprised we've just stayed focused on Somalis since everyone else would be causing these frauds too.

All these months of waiting for someone to be shot must have been driving them nuts.  'Can't call them tyrants if they don't shot you, start attacking them more and more.'  Finally some stupid woman was willing to do that and got late-term aborted and immediately everybody was ready to scream on so-called outrage over the atrocity.  I saw the video, she's actively trying to kill someone and gets killed in response.

Tim Walz' comment stuck out the most to me, partially for its incoherence and partially because he must be thrilled to finally have attention on someone else.  For a day or two he'll be able to enjoy the Somali fraud in peace.  They're trying to start actual fights, now that they finally have an excuse.  They even find time to burn American flags because how else do you show whose side you're on?

I'm guessing the woman will be forgotten soon.  Someone else ran up immediately to self-identify as her wife, no way to know how accurate that is but it does suggest the sort of lunatics we have here.  Hopefully the police and NG will be able to protect themselves and attack others as needed.  The protestors are hoping they'll find more people willing to die for the cause.  Not sure how far this will really go, you don't really deserve to live if you're actively trying to drive over people you don't like.

I've tried to avoid paying any attention to this, mostly out of disgust of what's happening to one of the greatest cities in history.  To the extent I've been following this, it does look increasingly like, not sure how to put it, college students who spend all their energy trying to pretend they're smart.  Someone made that comment about Mamdani's inauguration speech that this wasn't remotely for ordinary people, it was throwing in all the buzzwords that college students focus on.

We see that here as he rants about how horrible Trump is for capturing Maduro and everything that's wrong about that which he got from the briefing.  Then someone asked him if he actually had the clearance to get such a briefing and he had to admit he didn't.  But at least the lies served their purpose.

Someone else getting attention is his "Tenant Advocate," a 37-year old self-identifies-as-female who hates white people and private property, even though she's white and comes from a very expensive home in Nashville, owned by her mother.  A reporter asked her about that and all she could do was start crying and run away.  Is this not standard marxist behavior, inability to handle any straightforward questions, especially pointing out their own hypocrisy.  This is why they stay in rich people's neighborhoods and send out men-with-guns to impose their will.

The rest are all generic communists.  Mandami's inauguration also said "We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism."  These people don't even know what individuality is but they think they can erase it.  We can already see this is guaranteed to fail soon, it's just a question of when and how.  Other appointees support Muslim terrorists, the governor's office already wants to copy their 'free' childcare.  The disaster just keeps getting bigger.

With Iran, I'm sure we have special forces on the ground.  I'm also sure we have drones, I'm not sure if we have actual aircraft overhead.  I can't remember if we had actually taken control of the air after Trump's attack last summer.  If we did take over the sky and didn't give up after the attack, then we have the mullahs.  It's just a matter of how long it takes and how peacefully they can be overthrown.  If we don't have the air, well, I still assume we're doing what we can.  Hopefully that will be enough.

Gotta admit, I'm not really sure what will change if the mullahs flee.  The regime has been around long enough to at least *seem* permanent and Persia is just so foreign to our perceptions anyway.  Then there's the rest of their connections to the Muslim world.  Getting rid of the mullahs isn't going to fix everything no matter how happy we might be at first.

There are times where I could easily fanaticize someone in the room with him tired of listening to this gibberish.  Pull out your gun and point it at him, 'so what do you think should be done in this war?  We really going to shoot the enemy?'  It wouldn't work for Walz because he's surrounded by men-with-guns but with more-generic leftists who don't know any better and could only rely on each other for protection so they're screwed.  'I don't think you know what a war really is so here, let me show you.'

Clearly they're trying to get something started with this but it just doesn't seem thought threw very well.  They want to feel connected to Iranians fighting a real tyranny, they're glad they finally got ICE to shoot someone after all this time so maybe now they can get more people to run over federal agents.  And they'll try to use this to distract from Somalipop because that just keeps getting worse.

There's basic information coming out, 54% of Somalis are on food stamps, 73% on Medicaid and 81% on welfare after living in Minnesota for 10 years.  They've had no incentive to become competent workers like the actual Americans who have to pay for them.  Somalis and their supporters self-identify as being at war but they aren't going to like how this works out.  And who do they think will do the fighting for their side?

□ [“Denmark Warns NATO Is Over If US Moves on Greenland"]

Just think, I didn't care in the slightest about Greenland and thought Trump's comments on Greenland were weird at best and disturbing at worst, but now I really really want Greenland.  Let's start conquering it immediately.  Now it is true that someone used autopen in 2023 or so to sign a treaty that the US can't just leave NATO but I'm guessing NATO can still leave the US so let's go with that.

It would be funny if that really was the reason Trump made those comments about Greenland, just to get kicked out.  I'm sure he's also seeing Greenland as a strategic asset.  There's also asking the EU how serious they're really going to be on this.  If you get to go without setting up your own militaries and the only price is giving up Greenland, maybe a lot of Europeans would go along with that.

Slightly more seriously, I don't know what Trump's main goal is with Greenland but I think he's making the point to other NATO members that we don't really need them with as little as they're providing to the partnership.  We can't officially pack up and leave just because Trump says so but there are many options to not doing everything we've done for decades.  I think the real point is to actually get Europe to stand up for itself against the invaders and the leftists but, failing that, we can at least charge them more for our protection.  Greenland's a convenient price, at least for the time being.

□ [“Tim Walz Admits Guilt in Explosive Somali Fraud Scandal"]

I keep wondering if his behavior is, "hoax" may not be the right word but I can't think of a better one.  It's like when they promised to support Joe Biden but then he showed how brainless he really was so they had to ditch him, but they couldn't be outright hostile about it, "we want you out now!" because they still needed to pretend he was POTUS despite being so mentally incompetent that he could never be allowed to campaign again.  Something about the situation Walz is in now looks similar.  He needs to accept the blame but he can't actually leave for another year although he's certainly not going to do anything about the Somali fraud.

DHS is now knocking on doors for daycare centers in Minneapolis, citing how much federal money they've received and asking for evidence of what was done with that money.  Sounds like a good step to take with a lot of potential for finding all the connections these people have.  This is probably why Walz seems so defeated, I think he's effectively out of a job, at least for the time being.  Since he wasn't going to investigate these scams, the federal government used its authority to take over and do his job for him.

They'll certainly find evidence that he could have done something to prevent all this fraud, your mileage may vary on how much he knowingly profited off of looting the taxpayers.  But you'd think every state would now have enough incentive to start checking these frauds out before the federal government comes in to do the work for them.  If you oppose fraud, why are you so willing to support the fraudsters and oppose those who are exposing the fraud?

That is something where I'm ambivalent on how fast or slow it should go.  If we start exposing all the other fraud going on - and at this point most of us think every city and state is full of fraud like this - then it might be overwhelming just to find out about all of it.  But if we focus on the daycare center fraud then we could be missing a lot more of what's going on.  I don't have an answer for that, just wanted to make a note.

□ [“One Day After Maduro Capture, Reports Say Iran’s Supreme Leader Prepared to Flee to Moscow"]

I hope that's true.  Can't trust reports about the protests but anecdotally they do seem to be growing.  The government forces are trying to shoot the protestors but Trump has already said 'don't do that' and has proven that he's willing to carry out his threats.  Iran already saw that last summer.  Ayatollah Khamenei has to be worried that if he doesn't flee early, it'll be too late.

At a guess, I don't think Trump is as willing to kidnap or kill the Ayatollah, doing that would probably have caused more problems than it was worth.  There's something odd about Maduro, how the Trump administration is insisting he was not the head of government.  Not sure if that's a trick or something to do with the 'new world order' or what, but I doubt that would apply to Iran.  You want to defeat the mullahs, ok, but they've been the government for half-a-century whether you agree with it or not.

Because of A.I. we can't even trust the pix and vids at these protests.  Maybe they look a little more real than those leftists post to show support for Venezuela against Trump - these protesters are mostly white and rarely dressed like you'd expect for early-January - but even if they're real, it's still anecdotal.  And there's far too large a chance that these vids aren't real.  So now we're just waiting to see what comes of this for Iran.

Gotta admit, I'm a big giddy at the idea that Trump could get rid of Maduro and the mullahs by mid-January.  Suddenly facing a world without those dangers would be amazing, then there's all the worry our other enemies would have.  We could do this to them too.  And they'd have similar problems knowing what's really going on.  Those fighting for control of Venezuela suddenly announced that there was no fighting, everything was fine, just go about your business.  Do they really know what they're talking about?

□ [“Kathleen Kennedy is Out!  Can Star Wars Be Saved?"]

An exaggeration, she's not out yet.  There's not even a given date when she's leaving.  It was reported that she wanted one more movie that had a chance of being successful to make up for the lack of successful movies while she's been in charge.  Her Star Wars movies made less and less money and could even be huge bombs.  The tv shows were very expensive failures and just got ignored.

So she wants to try something else again.  Whether or not she does anything relevant, I doubt she'll be leaving the studio before this year's movie comes out, May 22.  No idea if it'll be successful but the odds seem to be against it.  Think of it from a normal person's perspective, what about this would require the Star Wars logo?  Just change a couple names and details, why wouldn't this be a space adventure to stand or fall on its own.

Another problem is that her replacements all come from Lucasfilm, just promoting her own followers.  That's not going to solve the problem but there's also the fact that nobody wants to come in to fix things.  Anybody with the ability to handle a giant messed-up corporation like Lucasfilm would be smart enough to stay the hell away from it.  Then there's Disney which is really in charge, making everything worse.  No one would be convinced to work there.

Star Wars has driven away its audience.  So has Marvel but they've been spending so much money on the next movie that even if it's successful, there's no way it can turn a profit.  I've never followed Pixar so I don't know what they're doing but these three franchises, along with Disney as a whole, just looks like an enormous mess.  It's like the only chance they have to get anywhere is to get rid of all their leadership and then, I dunno, wait several years for people to forget about this stuff.  I don't know what else they could do.

□ [“Tim Walz Drops Out of Minnesota Governor’s Race Following Massive Somali Fraud Scandal"]

This isn't as big a deal as you might expect at first glance.  He's not leaving office, he's just not running for re-election.  He's voluntarily not going for a third term is less of a big deal when you put it like that.  Now it is true that he's only doing this because he might be asked questions about the Somali scandal and he's not going to answer any questions.

I'm assuming his problem is that he knows much more about the Somali scandal than he's admitting and since he did absolutely nothing to stop it, he couldn't possibly win an election now.  But unless he quits early, he still has over a year left in office so he can keep the money flowing.  Since he's not worried about being re-elected, nobody's going to stop him.  Not that anyone would try, they haven't so far.

Partially he's just a convenient sacrifice so Democrats look like they're doing something and partially because he probably knows a lot more of what's really going on so they need to ditch him immediately.  I still think that's what happened with Al Franken, it's not that his public actions were so horrible, it's that those who knew him also knew what those would lead to and needed to keep the public from seeing any of that.  I think that's the problem Walz is facing about how taxpayer money gets used.

□ [“UN Ambassador Mike Waltz Torches Security Council as Globalists Melt Down Over Maduro's Capture"]

The UN is only 10-11 miles from where Maduro is staying, why don't they just go visit him?  Might be that they don't have any authority outside the UN and it might be that Maduro knows too much about them.  Does he really have any reason to restrain himself at this point?  If he's going to be taken down, might as well take as many others with him as possible.

Somalia gets to have current leadership at the UN, that can't remotely be a coincidence.  BRICS is standing up to oppose this action of Maduro, as are their fellow leftists.  It's interesting that Waltz' point seems to be that Maduro wasn't a national leader, he was part of the narco-terrorist group Cartel de los Soles.  Is there a reason he can't be both?  Anyway, he also cites the last couple decades of UN reports on Venezuela pushing drugs and terrorism.

I'm guessing that one point to this is to make it clear to the UN that the US isn't going to put up with this anymore.  If they want to stay in NYC they have to be nicer to us and we're fine with them leaving NYC anyway.  I think the UN would cave in very quickly.  There's very few places they can go, even fewer that would be remotely decent and nothing else where they can have all the thrills of living here with none of the responsibility.  The US is the safest place to be if you want to fight the US.

I expected this.  I was looking for an excuse to post that we hadn't heard about the Navy ships leaving.  That would be a real easy way to prove there's no actual war but they are going to be needed to see who else starts fighting.  It looks more like speculation than any real facts but that's understandable, this says that it's other high-ranking Venezuelans demanding their turn with full power.  But then they'll have to face others with the same demands.

Not sure our forces in the Caribbean have anything to work on but they'd need to keep a watch on what's going on.  But then Trump has also said that maybe they should go after Cuba or Colombia.  No way to know if he's serious or if that's just a threat he's pushing for whatever reason, at least at the moment.  In the long term, yes of course he intends to take them down.

And just look, with all the problems in Venezuela, Trump can point to all the danger Maduro would be in if our troops hadn't gone into rescue him.  He's actually helping to protect Maduro but nobody gives him credit for that.  Even better, this might all be a distraction from what's going on over in Iran.  This could be like a line of dominos knocking

They're from Homeland Security, not the military.  That's about it for a big change, they're headed in to do... something over the next month.  I will admit, this does seem extremely appealing that events and organizations are finally being tied together.  And what's the left going to do, demand to shoot DHS agents?  I'm sure they'll think of it but they'll probably chicken out.

And 2000?  That's more than they sent National Guard troops to most-if-not-all cities.  I'm sure there were more than that involved in the attack on Venezuela but you'd have to count all the people on the ships.  I am very curious what they're going to be doing but I suspect we'll find out soon.  Going after the Somalis and their connections, city, state and federal?  The potential makes me giddy.  Bad potential, stop that!

Still more of these stories are coming out as well.  This one doesn't seem to be connected.  She filed for unemployment during Covid even though her business was still open and she'd been in the Georgia House since 2013  It looks like she left the House today.  No reason to think she had any deliberate connections with others doing this, more like an atmosphere of getting away with anything, but it's possible that's why they hide these connections.  That would be what Homeland Security is looking for.

They've got Somali-Americans, they've got money laundering across the border, they've got the Somali head of the UN Security Council for more across-the-border shenanigans, the last year of investigation to see where all this is going.  It's not remotely going to be limited to Somalis.

□ [“92-Year-Old Clinton Judge Who Blocked Venezuelan Gang Deportations to Preside Over Maduro Case"]

I think a number of lines are being put together here, this judge has ruled against Trump several times.  I had to look up where Maduro was being stored - Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn - and if that was where Jeffrey Epstein died.  No, he died in Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, a whole five miles away.  Guess there's no connection there.

 But the SDNY is clearly biased against Trump and has been linked to a lot of the problems we've seen in the last several years.  There's an obvious question, why did they send Maduro here?  I think (hope) that he's connected to these people and that will be exposed.  New York City and state must have a lot of people worried about this now.

Of course the left is trying to insist it was evil to get rid of a tyrant and free Venezuelans from tyranny.  Apparently Maduro was totally safe, wouldn't hurt a fly.  They don't explain why the Biden administration issued a $25 million bounty for Maduro’s arrest, was this just a fake stunt to hide what they were really doing?  Of course not, it's Democrats, so it gets forgotten immediately.

Someone definitely turned on him, I'm sure the Special Forces didn't sneak/fight every step of the way to find him.  My guess it was either his guards - who came from Cuba - or some of his underlings, which might include this new chick-in-charge.  But the negotiations were supposedly in the United Arab Emirates.  Hunh?  That's one of those things that seems so unrealistic that it might well have happened that way just because we'd never suspect it.  But the UAE's connection shows even more lines that are being tied together here.

I've never known what Cuba and Venezuela's actual relationship was although obviously Cuba has been pumping out communist propaganda for decades.  I think it's that they're the ones supported by Venezuela, which they needed after the Soviet Union fell but I might be wrong about that.  Anyway, they are connected and Cuba must be very worried that they're next.  SoS Marco Rubio has said as much although he specifically stayed out of details precisely to avoid leaking anything.

Democrats in Congress are complaining that they weren't informed about this strike and it's clear why, they'd have leaked it if they could.  So would the 'deep state.'  I've been going through my coverage over the last year and noticing that Trump seemed to fire a lot of people he had just hired, so I keep wondering how many of those were also leakers.  However it worked, people with any common sense are impressed by how this mission was pulled off with nobody knowing until after it was over.

Democrats are yammering about the 'war powers act' all to avoid having to think about what connections might be revealed to them.  Cartels bringing in money and transferring it, Somalis also transferring money, a lot of Democrat politicians getting campaign donations.  Even a lot of judges are connected to this, such as those in SDNY which is where Maduro will be tried.  I'm probably just being overly-hopeful but it would be awesome if all of these lines were connected here to be exposed to the world.

□ [“‘Tyrannical War Criminal’ Bluesky Leftists Go Ballistic Over Trump and Maduro"]

If you've been paying any attention - and I can't blame you if you haven't - the left just keeps getting more and more batsh*t over everything.  A war has to last longer than a movie for there to be any crimes committed.  Obama put out a bounty for Maduro's arrest, Biden increased the bounty, Trump 2.0 carried it out, that's not a war.  But these people refuse to see that.

Of course they're posting vids of protests, reportedly around the world although most of them are officially in the US.  Lots of pre-printed signs that must have been ready to go.  Almost nobody wearing coats or jackets in early-January protests.  At least some A.I. is easy to spot the lack of reality.  Without that, we're left wondering why these people have nothing else to do in their lives.  It's like with Iran just a few months ago, there was no war so what are you protesting?

The leaders of Russia, China, Iran and more are also protesting the US raid on Venezuela.  It's one thing if you really are on the same side as Putin, Zi and the mullahs, but if you've spent last few years insisting you oppose them, you should be asking why you suddenly agree with them when it comes to [checks notes] getting rid of a dictator and giving a nation a chance for freedom.  Even Hamas has spoken out, they're opposed to just grabbing someone from another country and taking them prisoner.  Um...

No idea if it'll work out, I'll assume without bothering to check the US record in Central or South America isn't great, but at least it's yet-another chance.

He's at Harvard on a fellowship but gets paid lots of taxpayer money by Minneapolis for some reason.  Just because there's a lot of attention suddenly given to Venezuela doesn't mean we've forgotten about all the taxpayer money being funneled out by leftists and their family members.  You can make the point that this is a distraction but which is the distraction, Venezuela or the money laundering, and which is really important?  And we still haven't gotten to the Epstein files yet, jus' saying is all.

I suspect that each of these things functions as a distraction from the other.  The money laundering might be the single biggest piece of the puzzle - the biggest piece of the puzzle so far! - and I would think that the Trump administration is trying to get through everything they can with the time they have.  The left can't protect Somalis if they're focused on restoring the Venezuelan dictator, priorities!  As we see with Ellison's son, they can't protect their own family members either.

That's why I think this will have the biggest effect because it will expose so many of our self-appointed leftist masters.  Every city and state can have people whose job is to launder taxpayer money and pass it along to their children.  Because what is leftism about if not making your blood relations rich from money they did nothing to earn?

But I still don't get what can be done about them.  This just includes tens of millions of people, it's not like we can jail or execute them all.  Then there's all the ways they can add even more people, my military paycheck bounced around for countless reasons, adding this money for this reason, subtracting that money for that reason, none of which I remotely understood and very quickly gave up on trying to follow.  Wouldn't be hard to include me or many others in moving the money around even though it has nothing to do with us?  That's why it's so hard to comprehend how deeply this goes and it's everywhere!

This is what we woke up to this morning.  Well, the news, we didn't have the explosions.  Special Forces was doing their thing.  I've heard Delta Force or Green Berets, nobody has mentioned Rangers.  Probably some or all, 7th Group handles South America.  Four sites in Venezuela were targeted, I'm not if they were hitting the military, other defenses or if they just weren't sure where Maduro was.  Might have been about just causing chaos.

But they grabbed Maduro and got out, he is now waiting to go to court on Monday at the Southern District of New York.  Um, I have a question.  Why SDNY?  It's not entirely clear why they're going about it this way, why not a military court?  My current theory is that the 'new world order' sees him as a leader of a country and have never bothered to make it official, so all he really does is oversee the cartels.  Narcoterrorism is what he's being charged with.  My other theory is that he has a lot of connections at SDNY and they will be exposed by this.

It's rumored that Maduro is spilling his guts, saying Colombia is the one that actually handles all the cocaine.  Trump has already spoken up that Colombia's leader had better 'watch his ass.'  And that includes others.  Any other enemy of the US has to be scared by this, seeing how quickly and easily the Trump administration handled this attack.  Colombia has already run to the UN Security Council, backed by Russia and China, but what are they really going to do?  As the old saying goes, it's better to offer apologies than to ask permission.  Don't know where this will go but it's a very big win for Trump to start this year off.

It's been a while since I've had a reason to go 'bwah-hah-hah.'  This more than qualifies.  Now there is dealing with Venezuela itself, as well as the second- and third-order affects.  Maduro's sidekick, Diosdado Cabello, has made an appearance now that the planes are finally gone but he couldn't really say anything.  If it's anything like most dictatorships, Maduro didn't really have a line of succession so nobody knows who's in charge now, which means several people will claim they're in charge.  Trump has already endorsed the chick who kept him from getting a Nobel Peace Prize, we'll see if that goes anywhere.

Trump has also said we'll be running the country to help it recover.  We've done this many times south-of-the-border and it rarely works out well but he won so he gets this chance.  He also says we'll be handling the oil.  Guess we can expect prices to get even lower.  We'll also see how others are going to react.

One thing that's been mentioned is that just in the last day or so, China had promised Maduro they'd support him totally.  To me that doesn't sound like they've been startled by the attack, it sounds like the Chinese version of negotiation where they're telling Maduro to get his will ready.  I've been saying for the last few months he should grab whatever cash and jewels he can and run but he didn't listen to me.  And now he's paying for it.

Anecdotal but believable.  It's not like they're all going to be crying that Maduro is gone.  We've also heard that Cubans are celebrating, probably because the two leftist nations are so connected for so long.  Maduro had been in charge since Obama's second term and the two did meet.  A lot of people want to know what connections these two had built up.

Few Democrats have made any public comments on this, as far as I know.  Leaving aside their own connections to Venezuela, most of them have been around long enough to remember when they celebrated Obama bombing Libya for seven months without ever bothering to get permission from Congress.  The left is now complaining Trump didn't do that but those in charge know it's on record.  It's not like Hillary Clinton called out "we came, we saw, we sent him to New York for a trial" about Gaddafi.  We'll have to see if Trump immediately sends in US ambassadors and then goes to sleep while they get killed, but he's got a precedent for that too.

But the leftist trolls are also struggling, trying to say they opposed Maduro, despite never doing anything about him in all these years.  A.I. is already generating protests of mostly-white crowds with manufactured sounds going through the clean city streets on a warm day as you expect in early-January.  Not sure who's going to believe that but I am sure they already vote Democrat.

One problem Trump will face is the question of Venezuelan immigrants.  They've now got a reason to go home, will that work out?  I would guess no, but maybe I'll be wrong.  But then what about the criminal immigrants, they aren't going to want to leave.  Maybe they'll stand out like the Somalis and can be targeted that way.  I'm just spitballing, good news for the day will do that.

The mayor knows them better than I do, are blacks really stupid enough to fall for this?  The city is already massively in debt but blacks will just line up and wait for this promise of huge amounts of money sometime in the unforeseeable future?  It's like the only way they'd believe this is if they really are inferior to Democrat leaders.  They're already getting welfare and SNAP benefits to stay where they are just like the house... servants did in the old days, might as well pretend they'll get more.

Or maybe the point is to get blacks so mad at the government that they'll overthrow it, so the leftists in charge won't have to pretend they care about democracy anymore.  And they'll stay in charge.  And they still won't have to pay.  After all, if you're paid $5 million for self-identifying as black, a lot more people will pretend they have a different skin color.  Kamala Harris would pay some of her campaign debt.  So when you finally get around to following your own laws, there's a question of how you'll handle all the fraud.

I've never seen Men in Black but it was a central point into building a lot of the modern movie industry.  It made a difference because Smith was considered as lead because it had nothing to do with being black, he was a popular marketable actor.  Since then, they've realized they can't do that again so we got the race-bating trend they're still pushing onto the public.

It was also a seed that built the MCU.  The IP started as a comic, published by Aircel.  The Canadian company then merged with Malibu Comics, based near Los Angeles.  They had a number of known creators and when Marvel artists quit to form Image, Malibu oversaw the new company for a time.  But Image became independent and Malibu started going down, only to be purchased by Marvel who needed access to a then-modern computer coloring system.  So now Marvel had acquired a bunch of new IPs to push to Hollywood that weren't just men-in-tights.  Men in Black became their first hit movie so they were able to move on to the Blade movie, also a success which led to companies looking into other characters, Spider-Man and X-Men.  A few more hit movies and they were ready to start the MCU with Iron Man.  I don't know how this is relevant to what Jones and Smith are doing now but it's clearly in the background as source material.

I was going to say something about another Bat-movie star George Clooney and his current online spat with Trump but neither of them really say anything interesting.  It's more a question of why they have anything to do with each other.  Definitely an example of this being a 'fake' Donald Trump, he really does have better things to do, yet here he is anyway.

□ [“Trump Vows to Assist Peaceful Iranian Protesters if Regime Shoots Them in Current Upr
I like but this is a very big gamble.  It's not clear what Trump can actually do if the Mullahs start wiping out the protestors.  That said, they don't know what he can do either but they do know he can hit them very hard.  He's not deploying the 101st to occupy Tehran so what else is there?

Haven't found any reliable list of how far the protests had spread but they are spreading and pictures show that a lot of citizens have had enough.  They're chanting “down with Khamenei” and even for the return of the king [shah.]  That's probably why leftist media is trying to ignore it, can't support 'no kings' rallies and side with people who want their king back.  Besides, these protesters face actual risks, not like those who go up against Trump.

For the time being, I'll ignore that Trump is doing what Obama could have done back in 2009 but was too much of an Iran supporter to say anything.  Even Congress had spoken out against the mullahs before Obama voted 'present.'  Well, maybe I won't ignore it, this is what Obama should have done.  These people have lived under tyranny for half a century and now there's an actual chance to help them be free.  Don't know if it'll work but Trump is trying to Make Persia Great Again and he has to do that while facing Iran's allies in BRICS.

So as I said, this looks like a complete gamble but I support that he's doing it.  We're still surrounding Venezuela, don't know what progress has been made there but it's definitely an ally of Iran.  I don't think Trump will be sending in the troops but if he can knock off two regimes without a real war, that will be the most awesome thing since sliced bread and you know how kick-ass that was.

□ [“Minnesota Department of Human Services Used DEI Hiring Policies at Fraud Oversight Offices"]

The only thing leftism can build is more corruption and degradation on itself.  This is where the trope comes from about how 'no one's ever really tried communism yet.'  Because they fail themselves before they ever get that far.  You hire people who can't do this job to oversee others.  They were chosen for skin color so that's the standard they're going to use, no need to have any competence.  And you're "racist" if you disagree.

As the investigations continue to spread out, we've already found the same thing happening from native Somalians, not just those who transferred to New Somalia.  Somalia's UN ambassador used to work for Ohio's Medicaid and then formed a healthcare company which was banned as a fraud for healthcare services.  Also in Ohio, Somalia's Foreign Affairs Minister runs a healthcare company.  Also located at the exact same address is a company that handles money transfers to the Middle East and has been known to support al Qaida.  You think there's any connection there?  A Somali NGO got a Maine government contract to register immigrants to vote and has since been caught on fraud.

More companies are being found and Nick Shirley says he has more video to release.  Not sure what the delay is but he's shown how worthless the media is.  The Washington Attorney General is trying to find a way to defend Somalis against those pesky civilian reporters, telling them to call the 'hate crime' authority if they're asked questions about their lack of childcare services.  This just isn't going to work very well for them.  They have no way to defend it but they can't start acting like massive taxpayer fraud is some sort of crime.  All they're doing is bribing tribes to vote for them using other people's money.

□ [“Trump Issues the First Vetoes of His Second Term"]

Nothing dramatic, which may say more about how little Congress has done for the last year.  One is to expand the land for a tribe in Florida - why? - and the other is about building a conduit to send Arkansas River water to Colorado, based on a bill JFK signed in 1962 which has just spent taxpayer money since then.  Gee, wonder why he vetoed that?

This just seems a bit weird as the old year ends and the new year begins.  Why is this relevant at all, of anything Congress could be doing, this is it?  And just the novelty of Trump vetoing anything.  He probably vetoed other stuff in his career but he always struck me as the sort of POTUS who goes along with the bills Congress actually passes.  Maybe it's typical when the year changes and we just don't bother keeping track of that.

I don't know what Congress expects to do this year.  Democrats are probably already planning their victory parties which shows how far off the rails they are.  We don't know how many Republicans are actually part of the Uniparty so they'll keep that hidden.  Without that, what do they actually do for a paycheck?

□ [“Gavin Newsom Has Unhinged TDS Meltdown in ‘All-Caps’ New Year’s Post"]

He doesn't come across as very coherent.  Now maybe he's doing some sort of chemical which interferes with that or maybe he's usually reading someone else's script when speaking in public.  At least I hope it's him writing this, I'd hate to think that someone has to get paid to come up with this stuff.  He starts off with (I will take it out of all-caps) "Happy New Year to everyone, especially the deeply disturbed losers suffering from extreme Newsom Derangement Syndrome ('NDS.')"  He can't even make up something original, he has to steal this from Trump supporters.  The actual post is all one paragraph, all in caps which just doesn't look good outside a comic book.

He's totally on the offensive, and not just by insulting anyone who doesn't agree with him.  He doesn't mention how the rebuilding from the fires a year ago is coming, or any progress on the high-speed train he's building.  Or where all the money went for those endeavors.  Because if you had to guess, who do you think has wasted more taxpayer money on fraud, Minnesota or California?  Me too.

He's trying to set up for a presidential run in three years so he desperately needs to ignore this stuff.  I've been going through my coverage of 2025 and have noticed that the Trump 2.0 administration had started finding this stuff very early on.  If Newsom is any example, Democrats in the mid-terms and the next presidential campaign are going to need to promise to keep everyone ignorant on these scams.  That's guaranteed to fail but it's their only option.  This article even cites some of the fraud that's been found in California and except for those already rich and powerful, even Democrats aren't going to put up with people stealing their money and lying about to stay in power.

□ [“German Streamer Tries To Prove That Women in Cologne are Safe on New Year’s Eve – is Repeatedly Attacked on Camera"]

This is why women in Muslim communities are not allowed to go outside unless a man is there to watch over them.  You disobeyed that rule so you deserve what happens.  This is what you wanted, you got it, dressed like a whore.  You need to learn the rules in Cologne.

Like everyplace else, western Europe is probably ready to explode that their elites have let things come to this.  We may even expect some exposure of the taxpayer fraud to happen within a week or month, as we see from Somalis in Minnesota.  At this point I don't really know if that will get anything started, given how long they've let the invaders rule Europe, but maybe *this time* it'll be different.

It's strange how leftists like this female are so willing to go along with this oppression.  It's what they claim to oppose yet they're fine when it happens in this manner.  I'm not even sure it's specifically about being female, leftist or both, it just seems to be some bizarre mindset that always wants to make things worse and uses their own ideology to impose what they claim to oppose.  Maybe it has to do with priorities, opposing rape is one thing but being called "racist" is much worse?

□ [“Two Women React Strangely When They Mention 'Fraud' at Minnesota Rally"]

Now we get to watch how the left tries to figure out what to do with this mess they've created for themselves.  The first female was non-white and dressed as a Muslim.  I don't know if she literally went off-script but she said the word "fraud" and that's when she stopped.  My impression is that she had been told not to say that word even though it's a very obvious word to use in this situation.  She'd broken the rules that *someone* had given her so she had to stop immediately.

The second woman was white and had a similar problem.  She had started saying that fraud was bad and said "there is fraud" before she had to stop.  She knows it's going on but is supposed to ignore that entirely.  And that's where the problem is.  She can't say it's just the fraud that's been exposed and she knows nothing of anything else going on because then she'd be asked why she's so sure that nothing else is happening and why this shouldn't be checked out.  But if that's not what she means, what "fraud" is she referring to?  Whichever way she goes, she loses so she had to quit.  But first she had to give a few lines to blame those in charge, who made these decisions to waste taxpayer money.

Which is a relevant point.  Someone in authority had to decide that these fraudsters would or wouldn't get taxpayer money.  They'll just keep doing that unless they're exposed and punished.  And that points to all the Democrats who've been in charge for years, what are you doing about them besides always voting for them?

Next they're going to run into a problem of hiding behind children.  And not just because abortion would have solved this problem, how many Somali women are really getting any abortions?  It's why all the funding has to be stopped to determine who's doing what here.  The sooner you get started on that, the sooner you can fix the problem and provide actual childcare, but not until then.

We already know this isn't limited to Somalis or Minnesota, not by a long shot.  What we're starting to see is that this is a fundamental technique Democrats use to gain and maintain power all around the country, if not the world.  How much money and how many years did they spend on this?  They're going to need a big weapons to distract people if they hope to survive.

□ [“Trump Orders National Guard Withdrawal from Chicago, Los Angeles and Portland"]

Almost like it was planned to end at the end of the year.  He does make a point of adding that they'll be back if crime returns.  Might just be a generic threat or they might know when and how they're going to do it.  A lot of criminals had to go-without while the troops were there and they'll need to reclaim their turf.  And what are the mayors going to do about that?

The troops will probably get combat patches or whatever equivalent the National Guard has.  Hopefully there will also be a difference made in how the judicial system is handled.  Not just with how the NG handled this in the field but also the Supreme Court demanding the withdrawal.  That might be a subtle legal issue, not that important to the rest of us, or it might go deeper.

It's also going to create another problem for the left, if Trump is such a tyrant then why is he obeying the court order and withdrawing his men-with-guns?  Well they'll probably just ignore that and treat it like a serious victory, they were directly involved in defeating Trump on the streets of Chicago or Portland.  That sounds ludicrous but look who we're talking about.
