Trump Turns Up Pressure on Putin, Signs Late Lindsey Graham’s Sweeping Sanctions Bill on Russia
September 19, 2026

□ [“Putin Warns European Leaders Preparing for War With Russia 'We’ll Have to Respond'”]

For a while now, it's looked like Russia and Ukraine had both lost the script and were just messing around with no real purpose or direction.  That also applies to Europe but it's a bit different.  The European leaders really do seem to want war with Russia but they can't actually do anything.  They have no militaries so right there war becomes very difficult.  A few countries have nukes but so does Russia.  There's just no way this can work yet EU elites refuse to see it any other way.

Zelensky's people keep getting hit with corruption charges, his chief of staff, his prosecutor general.  The latter managed to escape the country although he left a lot of dollars and euros in his office.  His ex-spokeswoman is telling the world that Zelensky uses a lot of drugs, cocaine being the only one named.  I have to wonder if secrets like this are the real reason EU elites are interested in this war, along with money being laundered through Ukraine.  It might also explain why they still can't do anything about it.  Only leftists would believe their media control makes them a military power.

My best guess is still that this is why Russia hasn't just slaughtered everybody.  It's never cared much about its own casualties, you certainly wouldn't think there'd still be any Ukrainians alive.  Yet the troops still move in very slowly.  Four and a half years, Kiev should be a parking lot by now.  It's not like Russia hasn't been bombing it consistently.  Ukraine is in basically the same situation with Russia that Iran is with the US, the difference being that Russia has troops on the ground.  Well, it's also Russia so that's another big difference, but you get my point.

So if Russia has moved in as they normally do, the EU would have immediately declared war and, since Trump was on vacation for four years, the US would have immediately sent troops in.  There's more involved with China, the money going through Ukraine, whatever Trump is doing, but this is the closest I can get to a sensible explanation of wtf they think they're doing there.  But it's why I've always insisted the US needs to stay out of this.  For our own sake if nothing else.

Pat Boone Urges Trump to Stop Name-Calling, Act More Presidential — Tells Fake News to Zip It Too

□ [“Fed Up Dutch Clash With Police as Anti-Immigration Protest Turns Chaotic in The Hague"]

Another European country added to the list of protests.  It isn't big, apparently they were trying to have a bigger protest but the government forbade it so only a few hundred showed up for this.  As I've said, I want these protests to be everywhere, not just the capitol city.  It's only the third-biggest city in the Netherlands fer cryin'...  But it is a start, this pressure keeps building.

I'm still not sure what Europe is going to do.  I don't think there's been any protests in Germany but any day now there will be some more elections where AfD has a good chance of winning.  The government needs to shut that down as much as possible, but that will make things worse.  They really need to stifle the populous and hope that works.  Otherwise what options are there, hoping the Muslims fight for the government against the people?

What I'd really like to see is the police (and the military, if there is any) siding with the people.  I think that alone would bring this mess crashing.  The elites are too detached from the public so they couldn't do anything.  The invaders would need to be fought and eliminated but the police and military would be best qualified for that.  They'd even have weapons.  I don't know if any of that is possible but it would sure be helpful.

Newsom Signs Bills Making it a Felony to ‘Seize’ Ballots Before State Officials ‘Certify’ Elections

□ [“Princess Diana’s Brother Alleges Charles Sounded ‘Giddy, Elated’ After Her Car Crash"]

Here's someone I never expected to give much thought to ever again.  She's been dead for over 29 years and was only 36 when she died.  Elizabeth had been on the throne for almost ten years when Diana was born and would stay there for 25 years after she died.  I really am surprised that she was ever considered such a big deal.

But to the extent anybody still remembers her, they may want to focus on some scandal.  Looking up a few details, I notice Charles was almost twice Diana's age when they met and already dating her sister.  It tells us something about that relationship.  I also learned that they met in November 1977.  Hmmm, the Sex Pistols released their only album on October 28.  It's like a large chunk of British society was ready to take the royal family down.

So all of a sudden Diana's brother has decided to reveal some alleged secrets about Charles as he nears his death.  It's said he was glad to hear about it.  Considering she was dating Egyptian royalty at the time, it's yet-another thing that makes you assume the elites have their own games which we're better off not knowing about.  Diana's boyfriend's father Mohamed Al-Fayed worked closely with Saudi businessman Adnan Khashoggi whom I think was very central into the problems the world is facing today.  But this scandal isn't getting into that, it's all about attacking Charles and his family.

We're also told that the royal family just wasn't nice enough to Harry, that's why he's turned out such a mess.  Nice timing since he's just run back to Britain, having nothing else to do with his life.  It's starting to sound like this is a stunt to ruin whatever's left in Charles' life and to set William up for failure when he takes over.  A lot of work has gone into ruining this royal family.

□ [“Famous ’90s Comedian Known as ‘Carrot Top’ Hospitalized After Trying to Kill Himself"]
□ [“NPR Culture Editor Rose Friedman Dead at 38"]

I just covered this yesterday but suddenly even more vaguely-celebrity types are in the news for this.  I'm trying to figure out how I've ever heard of Carrot Top.  Maybe he got some promotion on MTV back when I watched it?  That's all I can think of.  I've never heard of Friedman of course but at this point I'm always suspicious about dying so young.  And she'd had this job at NPR for fifteen years?  Since her early 20s?  How do you get a deal like that?  Or maybe I don't want to know.

I'm not saying these people are genuinely famous but they're bigger celebrities than you or me.  That's why I'm automatically suspicious about news like this.  Not just because of the Covid vaccine but I really think the left has made a point of installing their people in significant social spots like this and that's why they're suddenly dying.  We might take the news reports seriously because it's convenient but that doesn't mean they can be trusted.  Maybe these were explicit murders, or suicides, or demon sacrifice.  Maybe they were ready to reveal information that would send Hillary Clinton to jail.

I don't see any patterns or pathways but this just looks like something deliberate is going on.  Really it is the age-issue.  Mass media has been around long enough, there's a lot of people in their 70s, 80s, 90s who've reached some level of celebrity at some point in their life.  If that's who was suddenly dying, it would make sense.  But all these younger people, it's happening for a reason.

□ [“Thousands of North Africans Charge Through Ceuta; Police Try to Dismantle Beach Shantytowns"]

The news had gone quiet on this for a while although I noticed they never said whether or not the invaders were still there.  The police are trying to do something but it's not going to work.  The government supports the invaders.  It's not going to stop, the invaders only need to succeed one time.  The Camp of the Saints was not supposed to be a training manual.

I'm guessing it's deliberate to take Spain first.  It's restoring Muslim territory but it's also just the easiest target, on the water and the closest to Africa.  This probably explains why they've infiltrated the Catholic Church so Italy will be one of the next targets, along with France just because it's right next to Spain.  Greece is already under major threat, the Ottomans haven't been gone all that long.

The elites are in on this but it's unknown if they're doing it deliberately or if they're just puppets.  To an extent, it doesn't really matter.  That's what the EU is there for, to oversee the continent so whoever wants to be a tyrant has little to stop them.  My theory is that the leftism just ruined everything and gave the Muslims open opportunity to move in but you could argue against that.  Then there's all the decades of Soviet interference and the fascists before that.  Maybe it's just a trope, age and success leads to this collapse of an empire.

□ [“DSA Congressional Candidate Announces She’ll Represent Mexico in Congress"]

How f*cking stupid do you have to be to make a statement like this?  She's telling Democrats 'I will not represent you because you're not Mexico, so vote for me!'  They need to pray that voter fraud is in place because that's just idiotic.  But she's from New York (I think) so maybe enough fake ballots have already been filled out.

This is why I can't think of any way we'll get out of this election.  Maybe if Republicans massively win and the left has no choice but to admit they're a vast minority, progress can be made.  Otherwise, there's nothing to go on.  Anything less and neither side can accept the other side winning.  Even if Democrats had a massive win all across the board *and* it was genuine, the rest of us wouldn't put with it.  Even if it means detaching ourselves from the rest of society, we won't put up with them.

I don't think it'll get that far.  Whatever the results, there's no way the left can fairly win so right there will be evidence that our side isn't alone.  But then that leaves the question of what we're going to do about it?  Our side is productive but not united.  Their side is united and heavily funded by rich people but not productive.  I think this is why Trump has been going for the 80-20 divide, just so most people will know that they're not alone and it will be easier to identify the enemy.

But there's still the problem of these idiotic leftists in power.  Not that they're capable of doing much but they'll open the door to anybody who is capable.  China being the obvious example but look at this chick, you don't think she's got all the gangs south of the border ready to move in?  They're not even going to wait for January, we'll be lucky if they don't start invading before Election Day.  They'll know who to get help from in the US.

□ [“Connecticut Gov’s Former Budget Boss Flees US by Boat and Plane Hours Before Corruption Sentencing"]
□ [“Arizona SoS Whistleblowers Say 'Mass Exodus' Underway; Democrat Abuses Staff, 'Rarely Shows up to the Office'”]

It's anecdotal but there has been signs that the wanna-be candidates are already overwhelmed by dealing with reality.  A lot of them are being caught or are just going crazy.  I'd like to think that this was part of the plan, letting the left drive themselves over the edge, but I still have no clue how that could happen.  I *think* a few of these stories have been about Republicans but I tend to assume they're RINOs and are facing the same problems.

This all seems to be coming together too simultaneously to be a coincidence.  The far-left suddenly runs the Democrats - officially, not just in secret - while Trump is actually fixing some problems that have been going on for a long time.  I'm not a big conspiracy buff but I am interested enough to see a lot of unexplained details that also fit in.

□ [“Long-Time Republican Missouri Prosecutor Found Dead at 53 in Courthouse After 'Incident'”]
□ [“Award Winning 'Barely Breathing' Singer Duncan Sheik Dead at 56"]

Just the large number of sudden deaths is very suspicious, especially when they're not old and the circumstances don't seem obvious, car crash or being shot.  The nature of the news means we have to accept what we're told so maybe it was murder.  There's also the Covid vaccine.  Or it may be the result of the internet, there's always been deaths like this, it's just reported now.  But that's what I look for in my conspiracy theories, that these deaths happen for a reason.  I always assume it's some form of 'death-worship' but perhaps they're traitors to the cause, or suicides to keep from being caught.

□ [“Ten Years Later, Colin Kaepernick Says He Still Calls Teams Begging for NFL Comeback"]

This demonstrates the basic flaws of an activist mindset.  He doesn't have the slightest clue that he was only relevant to anyone for that brief moment of activism.  The left was able to use that and we're still putting up with it ten years later but they don't owe him a goddamned thing.  When he's dead, they'll rave about how great he was and all that stuff but he'll have to wait until then.

Kaepernick doesn't even realize that he wasn't that good in the first place, the activism is the only reason he got any attention back then.  He was good enough to be hired to a professional team, that was it.  I don't know anything about football but even I know that ten years later he has absolutely no chance of going back.  Just the fact that he thinks he does shows how clueless he's always been.  He's been out of the game longer than he was in it.

He supposedly got a lot of money from that big ad he made a couple years ago, if he wants to play football he could just hire people to play with.  Of course that's assuming he hasn't already spent that ad money, or had it leeched by all the people surrounding him.  Or that he was ever paid for real and it wasn't just a *woke* promotion and he didn't know any better.  Anyway, my point is that he doesn't want to just play football, he wants to be on one of the teams that meant something for decades.  But that's what his activism was opposed to and he doesn't realize it.

Director Confirms Netflix Is Butchering Beloved ‘Chronicles of Narnia’ - Meryl Streep Voices Aslan

The The: The Movie!

Today I dealt with massive traffic construction and spent a lot of money but I felt obligated to.  The Transformers:  The Movie has been released to theaters for one weekend.  I haven't been to a theater since 2019 and the closest one was 50 miles away but I saw the movie four times in theaters the first time around, rented it on vcr when my family rented one of those.  I bought a copy on dvd when that came out.  Not sure I still have it and I'm surprised to discover that I have not purchased a copy on Amazon.  But my point is that the movie has been part of my life, all of the soundtrack, a lot of the dialogue, the whole thing.

It hasn't gotten any better after 40 years.  Horribly written, directed, acted.  Countless times I saw some aspect of the story be really stupid and had to question why anybody ever took this seriously.  But I can't deny that I enjoyed it.  The animation was really bad but I was struck by how many times really liked some of the visuals.  Not that they were good, I'm not sure there was any appeal beyond my childish nostalgia, but there you go.  "So bad, it's good" maybe?  The gaudy color also looked cool.

Because I never go to theaters, I can't really say how the IMAX works, if that is the actual format being used here.  I couldn't say if the screen was bigger or what but it did seem to be complete.  I assume the effect is to take up your complete vision if you're looking in that direction.  I also have the same credit for the audio, I thought it was good but it's not like I have a lot of experience with this.  I'll probably see Avengers in a few months but otherwise I'd be fine with going another seven years without going to a theater.

I do wonder if the death of Peter Cullen had something to do with this release.  He was still alive when the announcement was made but he was old and presumably knew when he was at the end.  This might be some new promotion, short re-releases of a movie to honor a soon-to-die actor.  I don't know how well it'll work, my theater wasn't full by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm also skeptical of these companies claiming the audience is really affected by the deaths of their IPs.  Again, I'm not the person to really judge that.  My mother had died a few months before the movie's original release so Optimus Prime dying was a big deal but not really that impactful.  Didn't help that he came back a year or so later in the tv cartoon.  But I still think Rodimus Prime deserves his credit as the leader, so what do I know?

Can't say I expect to ever see the movie again.  I'll probably listen to the soundtrack sooner or later, that's an undeniably enjoyable part of the movie and it pissed me off that all the tracks were short edited version.  But this is probably a good place to live the movie in my life.  But if you need to remember what the 80s were really like, this should do.

I'm not sure what to say about the new 12-minute finale, Optimus Prime:  Awakening.  Another tribute to Cullen and Prime, it covers the eternal conflict but I'm not sure it has any real point to make.  I liked the animation although that might also have just been a novelty because I don't watch these things.  Not sure it'll hold up on a cellphone.

If you intend to fail then nothing can go wrong!

P. Diddy Dropped by Lawyers in Civil Suit for ‘Unpaid Legal Fees’ – Says They Overcharged Him
September 17, 2026

□ [“TMZ Report Indicates Paramount is Leaving California"]

They've been through almost all the legal hassles to purchase Warner Bros.  The only thing in the way now is California and a few other leftist states demanding court hearings.  Amazingly it'll take a long time to get that to court and even more amazingly, Paramount will owe a ridiculous amount of money every single day that the courts don't make a decision.  It's just blackmail that the leftists believe they can get away with so Paramount is leaving.

So much for the jobs.  So much for all the equipment and products that the studio would buy if it was still in California.  So much for all the taxes these workers and businesses pay.  If it's cheaper to leave, they'll leave.  I can't be the only person pointing this out, that's why East Berlin had to build a wall to keep people from escaping.  The leftists in charge weren't going to make things better so they needed everyone trapped where they were forever.

Warner Bros. will break apart quickly, they already had massive financial trouble.  I only pay attention to the DC movies but those were expensive failures and it would take quite a bit of success to make up for them.  So that's more job and tax loses for California.  There's a very obvious 'goose that laid the golden eggs' metaphor here but the leftists will just ignore that.  Hollywood has been a legendary city for the last hundred years but it's not needed to make movies.

I do have to wonder how much of this has been planned out long in advance.  For decades we've known A.I. was coming, just as we knew about the internet, and tv and radio before that.  These giant corporations would have put some work into researching possibilities.  But that's where my speculation runs out, what could they really do?  How accurate would their analysis really be?  The companies are still run by rich leftists so they'll ignore everything to promote the cause.  I don't see any sign that they really knew what the internet would do, much less television, so what could they think will happen with A.I.?

US Denies Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Entry Visa Ahead of U.N. General Assembly

□ [“RINO John Cornyn Amplifies Karl Rove’s Wall Street Journal Column on Voting Democrat"]

Here's an example of why I've long suspected Democrats have successfully created a 'controlled opposition.'  Rove was hated by Democrats all those years yet when it comes down to it, he sides with them.  And here's Cornyn defending that.  You can argue whether they have a specific trigger and when it's pushed, that's when they rush to the left.  Maybe it's a bribe, maybe they're programmed, maybe this was always the goal.  Or maybe they're always the "bottoms" in this relationship.

I haven't checked but I probably say the same thing every election cycle because there always seems to be old Republicans suddenly announcing that they support whatever the left is currently doing.  Rove waited all these years to tell us he's siding with the Democrat and his lesbian priest and his favorite drag queens?  [Rove is in Texas, I don't know if that's who's on his ballot but you get my point.]  Why didn't he say that 20 years ago?  He'd have gotten a lot more support from Democrats back then.  Or, if you look up what people like Obama and Biden were saying twenty years ago, a lot more opposition from Democrats.  What's changed?

□ [“Rep. María Elvira Salazar Stabs Trump in the Back, Demands 'Dignified Life' for Illegal Aliens"]

Another example, showing that something is going on here.  Just a few weeks ago, she was trashing Trump for his oil deal with Venezuela, but then she erased her tweet and replaced it with a statement about what a great deal this was.  Someone got to her but it obviously didn't stick.  Given the other conversations we're having about women 'hearing voices,' I won't speculate, but there's definitely something here.  Maybe with Rove and Cornyn too.

□ [“Washington House Candidate Refuses Sobriety Tests, Sobs and Prays in Cop Car After Five-Car Crash"]
□ [“Arkansas Democrat Hallie Shoffner Would Trade Five Americans for One Illegal Alien Farm Worker"]

They usually self-identify as female but either way these candidates are showing off how insane they are.  No common sense, no self-restraint, they obviously don't have any around them who can say this is a bad idea.  Yet they clearly believe that the majority of people support this.  Listening to them, they're simultaneously on the verge of being destroyed by evil rich white men, or they're on the cusp of guaranteed victory that'll fix everything forever.

But it's not even just that the lunatics have been let out of the asylum, they've clearly been aiming at this for decades.  Just look at the old decrepit leaders, they've seen this coming all along.  They focused on getting as much authority as possible to make this happen.  Maybe they're senile, maybe they don't remember anything, maybe they just blow with the wind, no way to be sure.  Six or seven years ago, Bernie Sanders said we had six or seven years to save the world from global warming.  He doesn't even remember that, he's out there complaining about A.I.  The solution is always 'more government control' but does he even know what he's saying?

At the moment, Trump is the target.  Specifically his second term but I've been looking at his first term and he at least tried to do it then.  There was also his unscheduled four-year time off-work.  These all fit in, detailing what the left has been pushing and who's been doing it, lunatics like these candidates mention.  But also Bernie's career, lots of other politicians and political figures, all with the same lack of restraint.  Some of them had enough sense to build it piece-by-piece but they're immediately turned against by the next generation.

It's easy to look at what Democrats claimed to believe ten, twenty or thirty years ago, and some of those people are still in office, prominent celebrities that people pay attention to.  No one around them is allowed to ask what's changed.  Here's their replacements.  I still think a lot of it was influenced by Mao's later years, getting young party members to purge the older ones.  I don't know if that's a direct example or just the same results of the same policies.

□ [“Talarico’s Lesbian Minister Says His Sudden 'Moderation' Is A Con”]

His minister self-identifies as female.  Good thing I didn't bet any money on that.  But as you might expect, she's been caught on video saying exactly what we already knew, he's faking it in a lust for power.

“I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he’ll change his tune back to where he was.  That’s what his campaign has convinced him of, the Democratic Party is backing off on their stances on trans and all of this, and so his staff is encouraging him to kind of do the same thing, just for the next 50 weeks, whatever days.  I think it’s bad advice personally, but if it helps him win, okay…”

I'd like to know why Texas lets these people live.  I'm sure they won't do anything about it anyway but it seems like the sort of thing that anyone who believes any part of this should be shot before they cross the state lines.  About all I can say is that this election probably has the least chance of being stolen for Democrats.

□ [“Talarico SuperPAC Caught on Tape, 'Shady as F**k' Scheme to Bribe Texas Voters"]

“We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all of these bad things.  So it’s like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially.  It’s called the Paid Relational Program.”

These aren't limited to Texas either, by the way.  This SuperPAC is working in a few other states and it's not the only one.  Might be a little tricky to arrest since Talarico's opponent is the Texas AG but that could be entertaining anyway.  He's already made a public statement, just a generic 'Texans aren't for sale,' but I think he should be more direct, citing the laws broken that as AG, he should be prosecuting.

And this could explain Trump's recent statement about $5000 for each of us if Republicans win.  But here he's basically doing the same thing Democrats are exposed for doing, he's just being Trump about it and offering us a lot more money.  So if you want to attack him, you've got to attack them, 'the laws apply to everybody' and whatnot.  A lot of states might have things like this "paid relational program," that could be looked into.  At this point I wonder if there's been a lot of hidden footage built up over the last year or so to be release now, showing what Democrats get up to whenever they can.

Piddington, England Votes 98% to Leave the UK From Decision to Dump Thousands of Migrants There

□ [“Iran-Backed Houthis Attempt Strike on Mecca in Saudi Arabia – Islam’s Holiest City!"]

I assume the Saudis are always under attack because they have Mecca.  In general, Muslims recognize that it is the holy city so whatever arguments they have need to stay outside.  But there are limits, as we see here with Iran's foot soldiers sending in drones.  Or drone, it sounds like there was only one.  What was that supposed to do?

Looking at the history, Mecca hasn't been fought over too much.  Rome and Constantinople have been conquered more often.  But that's clearly ready to change.  This might be Iran making one of its last attempts to win, or maybe they're backed by China and Russia and have more ready to use.  The last battles over the city were during and after WWI as the Ottoman Empire ended.  I guess I'm surprised Iran hasn't tried anything before but it's Mecca so there needs to be some restraint.  For that matter, maybe Iran isn't involved, the Houthis just want to prove how great they are.

There hasn't been much attention to the new head of Saudi, I can't even remember his name and am not going to bother looking it up.  He's promised changes, not sure how that will work.  But the fact that they're siding with Israel shows that something has changed.  I'm suddenly swamped by anti-Israel propaganda on social media and there's always been a lot of that.  There's also been drone attacks on Saudi's oil pipelines.  And so the war continues...

Trump Redirects $52 Million in Military Aid From Europe and Middle East to Western Allies

□ [“McConnell Has to be Told How to Vote on Farm Bill"]

Just a brief 9-second clip.  He has to be asked multiple times how he's voting.  The guy next to him says "no" twice and McConnell says what sounds like "aye."  I guess if the goal is to humiliate his supporters, I can understand why he'd be here but I don't see any other reason for this.  My guess is still that the state governor has enough authority to say either he shows up to do the job he's paid for or he resigns.  The only people defending McConnell are the ones surrounding him now.

This is one of those things where integrity is better than the results, the Kentucky governor is a Democrat, we know who he'll pick, but McConnell needs to be removed.  Just leave the seat empty for a couple months, nobody's going to miss him.  It really is ridiculous that the people around him have kept him there.  If he was genuinely conscious, I assume he'd insist on staying in the Senate but he only seems to have minimal consciousness.

Both sides are dealing with this, there's just too many old people in charge.  Even Trump, it might have been better if he did this ten or fifteen years earlier but he's still the exception to the rule.  Politicians in their 80s need to be on the way out and that's the nicest way to put it.  McConnell is getting all the attention but there's plenty of others.  I wonder how many of them are actively picking their replacement.  Probably too many.

They're trying to scam each other.  Can't rely on the US so they need to insist they're still allies.  They're both in NATO, maybe that counts for something.  They're even creating this brand-new meaningless category for members.  Canada's part of the British Commonwealth, that'll help undo BREXIT.  And it'll make it easier to invade Russia!  Oh, those possibilities!

I'm pretty sure the EU is the dominant one here.  They've got experience with troublesome members.  Canada is still connected to France, or at least Quebec is, so this will help some of la Francophonie.  Canada might also have to pay for some help with Alberta trying to go independent.  I don't really see what Canada can get out of this.  They pretended to be equal to the US and that hasn't worked out, they think it'll work better with the EU?

And I might be the first person to have thought of this but what do Canadians say about joining the EU?  Did they ever vote for this?  Oh, it's probably one of those EU things where the people in charge decide and the peasants obey without question.  I'm not saying these two sides aren't made for each other, just that you might want to ask them first.  Also when are you going to add Mexico?

□ [“In Fishing Outing with Jake Tapper, Newsom Says He Won’t Run for POTUS if Kamala Harris Runs"]

This is totally scripted.  He's pretending to do something masculine with a media figure and by some coincidence the discussion gets into how they'll handle the presidential elections.  Newsom can't just take the spot but he's from a rich and famous family so he's entitled to it.

Harris is the problem.  They can't just dump her but they need to find a way.  She'd have to face a primary and if she fails, Democrats need to explain how she got through two previous presidential campaigns.  But admitting that problem will bring up a lot of other questions they don't want to answer.  I'm guessing they're trying to set up a way to make sure she fails but keep it hidden from the public.

So that's what this media show is for.  He needs to be the respectable white male, too decent to get into the fight.  But if he's needed, call and he'll run in to help.  Not sure who this is supposed to convince but it probably lines up with how Democrats analyze their voting blocks.  Newsom can't win over black voters but he can't win an election without them.

□ [“12 Foreign-Born Operators Charged in $10 Million San Diego ‘Ghost Daycare’ Scam"]

Haven't heard much about the Minnesota scandal for a while.  Here's more being reported.  They're all from the Middle East - Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq - and they only bring in kids when they're being inspected.  So this sort of thing is going on all over the place.  I'm sure a lot more are being checked into, this is the first one where anybody gets charged.

For that matter, I'm wondering if this is connected Minnesota.  They'd certainly be looking into where the money goes and are already investigating Ilhan Omar.  It's easy to see them attached to NGOs and any other organization used to launder.  A Minnesota addiction recovery center was just busted for stealing $25 million in fake Medicaid.

In the last couple years, there's been a lot of documents showing "influence networks," the links between dozens or hundreds of organizations, along with rich people, lawmakers, media, activists, NPOs and more.  That might be what's going on here and across the country, if not the world.  It might also be used for drugs and trafficking, that could be where they get the kids.  I've also noticed that 5 of these 12 operators came from Syria.  Might be just a coincidence but that's where Obama stuck the US for several years and Syria was allied with Iran.  Ukraine needs to expose a few corrupt officials.  Jus' saying is all...

□ [“Thousands of French Police Officers Flood Paris’ Streets. Protest for Better Working Conditions"]

Europe continues to boil.  Gotta admit, I don't want to see this just in the capitol cities.  There's a lot of other cities and countries that should be facing protesters.  But it's a start.  I think we've seen police and farmers protests before but I want to see the whole population out there in the streets.  They need to make it clear to the elites that they aren't putting up with this any longer.

I'm curious how much of this is just society breaking down and how much is being influenced or inspired by Trump.  Whatever else you can criticize him for, he has brought this movement to life and it has momentum.  It's not just Make America Great Again and the EU globalists know it.  I'm sure they're putting every bit of influence they can find on the US mid-terms but, surprisingly enough, I think they'll have the least influence among anybody.  I still expect it to be stolen but Trump and co. have done as much as they can to minimize the theft.  If the left wins, we won't take it and are a lot more resistant than Europeans.  If the left loses, Europe is going to light up.

I keep saying this over and over but they should go on strike.  Refuse to participate in the EU at all.  Don't work, don't buy products except those produced by others who agree with you.  The elites will have nobody to rely on except the invaders they invited and that won't work out for them.  And remember why our Founding Fathers were smart enough to maintain the 1st Amendment for Americans.  If Europe had followed that example, you wouldn't be in this mess now.

Board Votes to Close Kennedy Center After Obama Judge Bars Trump’s Name from Facade

□ [“Lindsey Clancy Holdout Juror Says He’s Being Targeted Because 'He Is a Black Republican'”]

He's also an immigrant from Haiti.  Checks almost all the leftist DEI requirements except obedience.  I guess that's enough to make the left ditch their belief in 'tolerance' and 'compassion' and all the rest.  He also says he's a Catholic, that probably doesn't help.

I assume the left is going to drop all the publicity for this case, assuming they haven't already done so.  But I'm also skeptical that the guy is really being attacked.  Maybe it's just holding everybody to the same standards but I don't believe it when leftists make this claim so there you go.  They're already breaking state law with whatever public attacks they're doing and if most of the complainers are leftist women, they're not capable of any real threat.  Other than to children.

I'm already tired of hearing about this case because it's icky but the deeper issues aren't going away.  At this point we're probably wary if we walk by an apartment regularly and always hear a mother yelling at her kids.  This might even tell some of them to start behaving more decently precisely so they don't look so bad.  Doing that may help their kids.

There's also going to need to be something changed about juries.  There's no incentive to be on a jury if you can be attacked against the law for ruling the *wrong* way.  The media is against you and everybody was ready.  Not sure how or why but it does seem like a deliberate set-up to make everything worse.  This is why I just say it's 'demon possession,' that sure would explain everything.

□ [“McConnell Announces His Return to Senate to Cast Vote as He is Wheeled Out of Home"]

There's certainly room for conspiracy theories but for convenience sake, I'll assume that means he's still alive.  If it's an imposter, you'd think the Senate would have rules of some sort against that.  He's dragged out on a wheelchair, surrounded by people to keep the media away.  Enough movement to show he's alive but face it, there's no way he should be allowed to go to Congress.

His internet post says he's going to vote on a bill for the first time in months.  It's not clear which bill but maybe I'm just not paying attention.  It might be that he really needs to show up or be kicked out, it's been a month or so since the Kentucky Governor demanded some evidence he's still alive.  I guess China and his wife need to show that he's worth the paycheck.  Any chance he's going to read the bill before he votes on it?

This just isn't going to work well.  Maybe he can do something as an empty puppet but little else.  I assume Republicans have some plan to handle this, RINOs and Democrats probably do too.  It's not like this is the first time Congress has had to deal with this.  Maybe this bill is something really important, it would be funny if it includes his resignation and he never bothers to read it.  Not sure what else to say, this is just pathetic.

Saudi Crown Prince Meets CENTCOM Chief Amid Escalating Houthi Attacks

□ [“Macklemore Dropped From Ed Sheeran Tour Following Anti-Israel, Anti-ICE Rant"]

People I've never heard of or know anything about so I don't know how big of a deal this is.  Most of the shows are listed as being in "stadiums" so that indicates there's an audience.  And now Macklemore doesn't get to promote his work because he's pissed them off.  Hope he hasn't already spent the money he was expecting to bring in.

Not sure I would have expected it to happen for rap first but the general audience is getting more vocal about how they don't want to hear entertainers go on about politics, that's not what they buy tickets for.  And it sounds like Ed Sheeran - wtf kind of rap name is that? - understands this so they kicked the guy off the tour right away.  We can also see this with the recent Spider-Man movie where, the heroism of a woman killing a lot of people notwithstanding, it's been noted that the movie avoided being *woke.*  It has the success to justify that.

I think this comes from decades of Hollywood coddling its celebrities but most of these people really have no clue that they work for the audience.  They're rich and famous, or at least believe they are, they're surrounded by people who just encourage this, so they expect to get what they want.  Sheeran's marketing team decided otherwise but we'll have to see how many celebrities understand this.  To the extent I pay attention to any of them, I think there's been a decrease in Orange Man Bad but even if I'm right, there's no way to measure how much it's gone down.

It existed long before but as much as anything, it's the internet that's brought us to this.  There's just too much incentive to be surrounded by people who agree with us on everything and that's magnified by people who's job is to be famous.  So the leftism expands on itself and nobody involved has any incentive to accept reality.  But that's not going to fill a stadium, much less accomplish anything.

Supreme Court Denies Trump’s Emergency Request to Restrict Mail-In Ballots Ahead of Midterms
September 14, 2026

□ [“Russian Bank Hit by Economic Outcast for Aiding Iran Sanctions Evasion"]
□ [“China Satellite Images Aided Iranian Strikes that Killed 3 US Troops in Jordan"]

Not sure if it's deliberate or just examples of the BRICS connections here.  China gives Iran support, Russian banks handle the money.  There's a lot more going on of course, probably not limited just to these assets.  It's unlikely but there's even a small chance Russia and/or China are assisting the US with information about this.  I don't know how much support they're giving Iran but they've been quiet about it all this time.

The reason it's possible is because Iran's economy is basically gone so whatever assistance Russia is giving them, it's not money.  No evidence of course but it's rumored that there are some protests going on.  In southeast Iran, a group that claims to support the Shah has also said they won in a protest, wounding or killing a couple dozen IRGC.  If true, it means they're getting weapons and there's a chance some IRGC are turning against the regime.

The mullahs are gone, that's guaranteed.  Even if Iran somehow wins or Trump somehow quits, the IRGC is in charge and doesn't need them.  And that's without anything else happening.  If Russia or China move in, they'd probably want new puppets just to make it clear who's in charge and the mullahs wouldn't have anything to offer anyway.  If the protesters make any progress at all, that's it.  The regime would have to give in to survive or would be effectively dead anyway.  Even if these protests aren't real, they're going to happen and meanwhile the government, the military and the economy is effectively worthless.  I'm not happy with how slow Trump's attack is working but it is working.  I'd really like to believe that it's still on schedule although there's really no chance of that.

□ [“NBC Boston Doxxed the Juror by Providing Specific Details So Anyone Can Find His Name on Court Records"]

I was hoping to skip this event for a little while but it keeps growing.  They really do want to prevent black men from disagreeing with white women.  The white women on the jury have basically admitted that they supported Clancy from day one on the jury, that's why they immediately rushed out to tell the media how horrible this black man is.  The defense attorney's wife has been helping to push this so anybody can find who the black juror is and where he lives.  If you want to visit him though, you might need to wear masks.  Because of Covid or Antifa or something.

The left has been pushing this 'urge to kill' which obviously affected Clancy and her copycats.  You can see them fantasizing about Trump's death every day and we've just seen them celebrating the anniversary of Charlie Kirk's murder.  I've just seen several posts on social media today about how they'll get revenge on most of America as soon as Democrats win the mid-terms.  There's just no self-restraint or common sense, certainly no sense of morality that this is a bad thing.  There are laws against exposing jurors like this but those down matter.

Not sure why but it does look like this is a leftist conspiracy for some deliberate reason.  There's suddenly been a spurge of 'abolish the 19th amendment' posts.  We can agree with that but this all looks like a set-up, funded by the left to sucker people or inspire fear in their supporters.  I'm also expecting a bunch of women to murder their children in the near-future just to side with Clancy.  Not saying it's sane but they already support 'late term abortion' so who's going to stop them?

□ [“Tom Homan Confirms 'Criminal Investigation' Into Ilhan Omar, She Could be Denaturalized"]

I doubt it.  They've verified yes, she married her brother.  The info has been released but I haven't focused on it so I'm not sure if it's her biological brother.  A criminal organization had made a fake family to help Somalis immigrate and that was the relationship used here.  So most likely they aren't actually related but that's part of the criminal behavior.

The fact that this is now becoming public indicates the feds do have plenty of evidence on her but there is no way anything's going to be done with it.  The left would just scream "racism."  Well, even more than they already are.  Every Democrat would protect her, especially if they already knew about this.

Arresting her would just look like a purge and even Congress has some protection.  If there's a large criminal organization here, too many Congressmen and their staff would be involved.  Show them pix of what they're doing and they'll still deny it, calling it 'fake' if this is put out to the public.  I don't see any way this can work in a standard manner.

*If* Republicans win big in the mid-terms, Democrats might possibly push Omar away, quietly.  Even then, she'd win re-election to the House so she'd couldn't just be kicked out.  There would have to be massive outrage across all party lines.  That's technically possible but does anybody really expect that?

□ [“Clancy Juror Continues Her Media Tour, Admits Female Jury Wanted to Help the Murderess"]

She admits they did this for political reasons, they didn't care who got hurt or killed in the process.  This was always what feminism wanted and they aren't even realizing that.  Basically every man is now wondering if every woman they see actually agrees with this.

It will be tougher to know how women respond to this.  Most of them won't make it public, other than banshees like this one.  They expect obedience, especially from women, and they're showing that by attacking the black man who held out on the jury.  Yeah, remember how every man is now wondering if this is what women do?  Now black men are realizing that this is just how white women are.  They don't want to be in the same room with white women out of self-protection.

We'll have to see how many women actually disagree with this.  Some will, that's just the odds.  Others will disagree just to get attention or to defy the others, like daughters disobeying their mothers.  More will disagree but not think about it too deeply, this feels wrong so they don't go that way.  I think women are fundamentally collectivist so we'll see how many just comply with authoritarian feminists.

But this could be an enormous crack in the leftist wall which is based on both genders being the same, except when women are superior.  There is no way those who think it's wrong to murder your children can co-exist with those who demand more help for the murderers.  This case is where it first became obvious but that distinction is going to spread everywhere very quickly.  For instance, every Democrat is going to be expected to support this for the next two months and that won't help win any elections.  This will get very interesting and these feminists rushing to get media attention haven't considered that in the slightest.

□ [“Leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland Sign Deal to Break Up the United Kingdom"]

Very interesting.  They are leftist and I suspect this is the motivation for this.  The kingdoms have been united for about a zillion years so the left needs it destroyed on basic principal.  Even worse, putting these kingdoms together is probably why such civilizational progress has been made, different tribes in different countries finding common ground (except the Irish but they can be ignored.)  So the left needs to erase history at its source as they're doing here.

Of course the individual nations would immediately rush to join the EU.  Scotland and Wales would want to begin the membership process, North Ireland would just join Ireland which is already a member.  Brexit would be gone just like that.  Safe to assume these leftist leaders have a lot of contacts in the EU helping them with this, and probably the Muslim community as well.

It supports the EU so by definition this is a bad thing.  Britain is a historical institution so I certainly support maintaining it.  But that said, I'm not totally against the UK facing this issue of separation.  They have a lot of issues to solve and this might be a way of bringing that to a head.  They've already set the example for the EU in so many ways, this would be another one.  Even better, Britain would at least have a chance of surviving.  They have a lot of experience learning that globalism is guaranteed to fail.

□ [“DOJ Criminal Investigation on Governor Newsom’s International Travel and Personal Spending"]

Another hint that something might be done about this someday.  We already know Newsom's wife gets paid by government money and there's a lot missing after Covid, homeless funding, not to mention the high-speed rail.  Newsom has obviously learned a lot from Aunt Nancy who's very rich from all her years in government.  She's even just announced making millions from investing in an A.I. company, you don't think Gavin knows how to follow that example?

Beside the enrichment of the Pelosi family, I suspect this is about laundering money in whatever way the Newsom's can get it.  That's the investigation and there's a lot of rich Californians connected to it.  The high-speed rail will probably get the most attention, just where has all that money gone with so little to show for it, but there's probably also connections to Hollywood and China.  Newsom and Nancy's fellow San Franciscan Dianne Feinstein got a lot richer than Nancy.

But this is still the same problem we have with everything else, it's so big that there's no chance of it all being exposed, much less stopped.  I don't see a better way to do it but the Trump administration does look like it's going after their enemies, even though that's the right thing to do.  The resistance alone would be enough to guarantee failure unless we're lucky enough to negotiate China to turn against them.  Which would be awesome, I'll admit.
