Day 13 without a federal government.  There's something about Trump stopping a war but nobody cares.  They can all die as long as it embarrasses Trump.  He's a war-monger and we're all just filled with love.  I've heard he's done something like that with non-white countries and if you think any leftist cares about them, you don't know any leftists.  That's why we always win.

But he even forced a bunch of world leaders to go to occupied Palestine and listen to his boring speech.  Everybody knows they all hate him, so why did they bother?  You'd think some reliable leftist media would be informing us of this but I guess nothing important is going on.  I know it's kinda boring to talk about foreign events like this since I'm busy celebrating the tyrannical US government but there's not really much to talk about there.  Did I mention that I hate Trump?

China Arrests Numerous Prominent Christians Leaders – Trump Admin Demands Release
October 13, 2025

□ [“'Today the Skies Are Calm, the Guns Are Silent' – Trump Speaks in the Knesset"]

I have multiple opinions on this, good, bad or meh.  Good because it's a nice image, Trump spreads peace, helps Israel and whatever hostages are still alive are starting to be released.  I'm not criticizing this, but I really don't expect it to last.  Hamas wants all the Jews dead and the philistines have overwhelmingly voted for Hamas every time they get a chance.  They wanted that before Hamas was founded and leftists have always supported them.

I'm worried that Trump and his people will see this as a real victory, that's the big problem here.  Even to the extent this is a good thing, it could just be a trap to set up Trump and any other leader who agrees with him.  This region has been a mess for thousands of years and Trump hasn't fixed anything but they look good for this today.  That's the bad side of things, along with the thousands of prisoners Israel had to release to get this.

As for the 'meh,' it's just now we'll see the left go all over the place to avoid seeing anything relevant.  Biden did all the work, Israel is evil.  People like Obama are even making public statements how great this is while doing everything possible to avoid mentioning Trump's part in this.  Their pet media will just keep going over the rails.

□ [“CNN's Christiane Amanpour Says Hamas Treated Israeli Hostages ‘Better’ Than Gazan Civilians"]

Her wording is as stupid as her message but's trying to say Israel treats Gaza worse, etc.  Maybe they should add more years of imprisonment, torture and rape.  Amanpour would probably appreciate that.  Her employer forced her to make an apology later but we know she doesn't mean it.  She's living proof that Muslim views of women are correct.

□ [“Naked Bike Riders Join Portland Protests – Protest Turns into Clash with ICE, Several Arrests"]

Here's today's example that the left is just insane.  There is absolutely nothing to be gained by having anybody naked here, it's just an excuse to show their nudity to others.  And to any kids attending.  Whoever's in charge of these protests should have told them nobody wants this.  But they will 'take anybody,' as the saying goes.

I get the impression it's more about people wasting their time - we won't do this protest unless we're naked! - and one reason for cities is that they have a lot more people with time to waste.  If they didn't have these protests, they'd need to get real jobs, show up on time, talk to their co-workers, learn useful skills.  You know, something that might actually convince other people.  Nobody's going to say 'I supported ICE but then I saw a naked fat guy riding a bicycle and that changed my mind.'

Meanwhile Trump can now fire federal workers who claimed to be "independent," something that has gotten in the way of every POTUS since 1935.  That's actual progress.  I pay attention to this stuff and didn't notice when this happened a few days ago, or at least I didn't get what it actually meant.  What is there to compare that to naked gays in public?

They didn't have any luck with that before, why should this time be any different?  This suggests that Maduro doesn't actually have the military forces he thought he did.  Or he does, but they're not remotely interested in fighting for him, so more disposable troops need to be called up.  Out of curiosity, is there any sign that they're actually loyal to him?

This is giving the impression that one of the leftist icons in the Americas is getting ready to fall.  Not sure if Cuba is still relevant since it gets so little attention, but Venezuela is definitely up there too.  Also don't know if the nobel prize winner is relevant but the show-down with Trump is definitely being pushed closer.  If we can do it without a fight, great.  If not, the military is in the region and ready to go.

Since Trump's not into long wars, this has probably been planned as much as possible.  Problem is Venezuela is a BRIC member, a servant of China and used to spread leftism and tyranny around the region, if not the world.  I'd say the odds are decent we could win a fight fairly quickly, but then there's the rest of this to deal with.  Again, I'm sure we have plans a lot better than Maduro does, but the enemy gets a vote too.

You can do that?  Anybody subpoenad by Congress can just not do it.  Congress admits that they're "having conversations with the Clintons’ attorney to accommodate their schedules."  That shows how serious they're taking this and suggests what the ultimate results will be.

As always, I'm trying to think of some other explanation that might cover what's going on.  Unlike other leftists, even those who dared to say something positive about today's signing in Israel, Hillary posted a direct compliment to Trump for making this happen.  That's not something you'd expect to see.  Can't find the link, it was nothing special but it was praise for Trump.  Are they trying to suck up to avoid legal problems in their future?  Or some other game, since they're all among the top elites but you and I aren't, so we wouldn't recognize what they're really saying?

I'm trying to avoid obvious guesses like 'they're all on Epstein's side and are just going to distract us with this nonsense.'  Not that it's not a very likely possibility, just that I'm tying to come up with different perspectives that might explain something.  So why are they suddenly giving thanks to Trump?  Maybe something has changed and they're suddenly not held down by chains, except in their consensual way in private.  Jus' speculating...

We won't get all the details and they're probably pointlessly complicated anyway but that's one aspect of this conflict that I'm sure Trump+ are working on.  The extremely rich are pumping in money through all their front companies and other tax-avoidance schemes to funnel it to their ground forces.  All their connections are being checked out and investigated line-by-line.

And they want an entry into the Trump administration.  Their globalist groups are trying to push global warming and the rest of the agenda.  I notice some of the names on the WEF and the "Great Reset" are also going of be part of the international technocratic group overseeing Gaza.  That's obviously a trap, for them or the rest of us.  It's one reason I still don't trust Trump after all this time.

Soros has been having problems with the WEF too.  With his age and power, they're desperate to replace him.  Can't imagine how, but I assume the Trump administration is hitting them at that level too.  As I said, we don't get to see how this actually works it's part of the conflict.  This is something that has been going on for a long time and, whether it's Trump or not, it's clear *someone* is going after them.

□ [“Kamala Harris Event Interrupted by Protestors – Shouts, 'I Am Not President of the United States'"]

If she was, the protestors wouldn't be there, calling her a "war criminal."  They voted for her, they would obey and stay quiet, even if she brought peace to the Middle East.  But because she lost, she's a target for her own people.  Says a lot about the people who voted for her.

Meanwhile Trump is headed out to the Middle East and even stopped to talk to the press before he left.  Didn't take questions, which is unusual for him, but said a few words.  Harris definitely wouldn't be doing that, despite bringing peace to the Middle East.  And of course the people who voted for her wouldn't expect her to do that.  Doesn't look like her book selling events are all that popular.

Notice Trump went to the hospital for a medical check-up last week.  Of course the left raved that he was dying, as they've done for years.  My assumption is that he's headed to the Middle East, that sort of check-up is required before you do that, at least for military and their leadership.  While writing this, I saw news that he's already given a speech in Israel to much applause.  We wouldn't see Kamala Harris doing that.

She probably wants her political career to continue but doesn't seem to have much to work with.  She's not getting lots of fans to show up and pay for a book to get her to autograph and she's not making any news with intelligent or insightful comments about anything that's going on now.  She was asked if she'd talked to Biden recently, said she called about his current health issues.  He didn't answer or return he call.  Girl, you've been ghosted.  Even worse, it was by a rich old perv.

□ [“Plane Crashes in Fort Worth Texas; 18-Wheelers, Trailers on Fire"]

And it was just a day or two ago that Democrats said they wouldn't restart the government until planes were crashing from the sky.  Gee, it's like they knew this was going to happen.  To be fair, given all the plane crashes of the last few years, there's no evidence that this was deliberate, but well, it's the 21st century for you.

There's more lists of crimes going on, looking like insane leftists attacking the right.  Or just attacking anyone they can find.  We can blame it on the leftist mentality which makes me wonder if there really is something to antifa not being an official group.  With all the decades of experimentation in China, Russia, North Korea and their fellow communists in Hollywood, it's possible that they've actually worked out at least partially how the human mindset operates.  At least for their own kind, which they'd believe they can do to everyone everywhere.  Not saying that's the case but it's a very disturbing theory.

The levels of this war are becoming a little clearer although there's still nothing definite.  We can see this in the media, Disney seems to be doubling down on the *woke* mentality to maintain their string of box-office failures and ABC just shut off JD Vance on his appearance.  Tv in general is just more opposed to the the current administration than they've ever been for government, which is strange because they never seem to get censored.  Just another example of leftists pretending something bad is happening so they have an excuse to attack people they don't like.  That seems to be consistent across all the aspects of the current war.

There's been any number of stories like this in most of 2025 but I don't get why they aren't getting more publicity.  If nothing else, it would point out that Democrats have always supported the slave trade as they're doing here.  Their pet media won't be saying anything about this but even normal Democrats must be recognizing that they have to go elsewhere to find real news, so pointing this out as often as possible would make this relevant.  If the people you support want to keep this hidden from you, what else are they doing?

It's not like this needs to be kept hidden, everyone involved would know that the government is busting these traffickers.  It would also get put leftists on the defensive, why are they supporting this?  Notice that they aren't giving any attention to that slave-trader who was deported but then brought back to fight legally.  Once in a while leftists remember him but everyone else realized that yeah, he was involved in exactly what the administration said.  We need to keep pushing this so that it doesn't get ignored.  I can't even remember the guy's name and haven't gotten around to looking it up yet.  I just thought it was odd that he was on a plane of deportees yet he was the only one that the left focused on.

This trade is part of the financial and judicial parts of society.  Those are being worked on although we don't yet know how.  We need to be told who the customers are and what they've been doing.  This isn't some industry that just started overnight and clearly it wasn't centered around Jeffrey Epstein.  I don't get why the administration isn't publicizing this everywhere.  Or rather, I can't think of any good reason why they're not doing that.

This is reported by CNN, so that's a problem.  They're citing an unnamed 'senior Democratic aide,' that doesn't sound believable.  And they say the public perception is in their favor.  What are they smoking?  The public wants this trash taken out of the government.  The left is just aspiring to massive death and are pointing to the FAA shutdown, so they can blame Trump for whatever happens.  These are not people who want to protect lives, at least not Americans.

Thing is, our side actually has a clue what war is.  We expect casualties.  Not happy about it, try to minimize them but that's what's going to happen.  Your side has antifa pretending it doesn't exist as it destroys your own cities.  Our military wants to be paid - I remember those days - and Trump is looking for sources of funds to cover it, which I'm sure DOGE was able to identify.  And even without that, most enlistees know they're government property.

And meanwhile, all the dedicated activist federal employees now have to look for other jobs or learn to code.  Haven't seen a news story yet but I've heard the Supreme Court has even issued a new decision that there are no activist "independent" executive branch employees Trump can't fire, which has been leftist scripture since the FDR administration.  Antifa's not enough to win battles and these bureaucrats aren't going to build any competent organization to take down the government.

The rest of us recognize the risk and want this to keep going.  Try to avoid getting on planes, or anything else that we were always told the government would protect us from.  We always knew the government was an enemy, we just lucked out to have a brief moment where the government admits it too.

I'm fine with doing this.  She's willing to campaign for office promising to put specific people in jail no matter what, and insists the laws apply to everyone, so her doing the same thing she tried to punish others for deserves this.  Not complaining about that.  But I want bigger names to be on trial.  I support this and it still comes off like Trump being vengeful.

Considering how widespread this sort of behavior is, the feds could go after a friend of a friend of her.  Then get each person to betray the next one in line, or just start searching their associates, and it would eventually lead to James.  This would show how big an issue this is and has always been, yet Trump was the first one they went after.

It's reported that her legal expenses for this will be huge.  Maybe that will encourage her to turn other people in.  Just the fact that this is getting so much attention is disturbing.  There are much more important things going on, and there *should* be a lot more people in court.  This just comes off as a distraction and not an amusing one.

This sort of thing needs to be identified and exposed to the public.  All of a sudden the left has unanimously decided that 'Antifa doesn't exist.'  That's obviously false, I can cite several hundreds of specific references I've made to them and their crimes going back to April 2016, but this mentality needs to be identified.  How does the left do this and does it have any relations to their previous attacks, such as in the 70s, or the 1870s?

At least for Hohn, it was based on earth-worship.  I'm sure that applies to a lot of antifa members but not all.  Antifa seems to be the militaristic part but these people are just urging violence and many are actually trying to commit it.  I don't want to spend time every evening covering the latest headlines of leftist idiots wanting someone dead, but that is what they're doing.  And, as we see, funded by the earth-worshipping billionaires.

□ [“Trump Ended Eight Wars, Still Doesn't Get Nobel Peace Prize"]

To the extent I cared one way or the other, I just wanted him to win so we could watch the left explode.  It felt a little embarrassing to be checking if the results had come out yet, wtf would I care who wins one of these?  Obama won one and he did nothing but vote 'present,' both before and after.  I say this as someone who deployed to war zones three times under Obama and didn't see any anti-war protestors.

Keep in mind, January 31 is the deadline for nominations, so to the extent the Nobel people have any integrity, they can point to that.  Trump hadn't done much.  Since then, he's intervened in Armenia and Azerbaijan, Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, Israel and Iran, India and Pakistan, Cambodia and Thailand, Hamas and Israel and in his first term, Egypt and Ethiopia, Serbia and Kosovo.  Maybe people who genuinely oppose war really need more people like him.  Of course these countries are mostly non-white, so the left doesn't care if they kill each other.

Trump is very egotistical so I don't doubt that he genuinely wanted a Nobel, although I can't imagine why he would care about that.  That said, being Trump, and only taking office eleven days before the deadline, it sounds like he's had a back-up plan.  This year's Nobel is going to a token female revolutionary in Venezuela.  Her immediate response was to dedicate it to Trump and thank him for his support.  So the left will have to ignore the non-white female they're celebrating for defeating the guy she dedicates her victory to.

But there's more, you may have noticed that Trump has been building up forces next to Venezuela for a while now and it looked like where his next strike would happen.  Well this could be it.  This chick gets a push to overthrow the regime with the backing of Trump and the US military.  The Hugo Chávez regime could finally be destroyed and it wouldn't even take a war to do it.  It's iffy, like everything else, but it would be hilarious if Trump makes this happen around the time this year's Nobel is officially awarded in a big ceremony.  Better yet, have him attend the ceremony and hand over the Nobel to this lady.

If Trump really wanted this award, sucks to be him, but otherwise it's a win for Trump supporters and the left is too busy laughing to realize it.  They'd just be attacking the Nobel for degrading itself and Trump would have to tie himself to this leftist committee for the rest of his life.

Not just a "furlough."  To the extent that they hadn't already been working on it all year, the executive branch has been looking into which people they can do without.  Because the government is shut down, there aren't many others who can make the decision, that's what the POTUS is for.  So now, when (or if) Congress ever starts again, the Republicans will have written reports on how to simplify or remove the laws that made this happen in the first place.

That's all well and good, if maybe a trifle optimistic, but there's also the legitimate question of what these people are going to do.  It sounds like the expected the government to do everything for them for the rest of their lives, now they have to face earning a living like the rest of us.  Difference is, most of us have actual skills people will pay for.  We had to learn them just to keep our parents from being stuck with us forever.

There will be plenty of "learn to code" jokes.  Maybe some of these people have enough savings that they'll get by, or they may even have useful abilities like a trade school would provide.  It's been pointed out that nobody cares who the fifth-best politician or athlete in town is, but the fifth-best plumber is never at a loss for income.

Slightly more-worrisome is that these people will want to fight against the government they spent all these years sucking.  Not sure if they'll be useful but they will be easily-manipulated and completely disposable.  This could be a potential big problem because the enemy will know how to use them.  It's also possible these people might see the error of their ways and start coming back to sanity, but I wouldn't count on that.

Don't you have all of Chicago standing with you?  Isn't that enough?  Well how about Illinois as a whole state?  You'd think that would have the federal government cringing on its knees.  Ok, what about similar rebellions going on in California, New York, Portland, DC and wherever else?  At some point, you need to accept that you have enough troops, you just need to figure out what to do with them.  You could have done that first but you go to war with the enemy you have, not the enemy you wish you had.

A bigger problem is that he just comes off as a sissy who doesn't realize what he's gotten himself into.  He's putting out the usual leftist rhetoric about how Trump is going to mess with the elections that are almost thirteen months away.  Tyrants don't need elections so just take that off the board of what to think about, at least if you expect people to believe that you're fighting a tyrant.

They're planning for another day of protests, not sure if it's tomorrow or a week from tomorrow.  Doesn't really matter, a bunch of old white people doing the same thing they've done for months.  At least it's starting to get cooler but then they'll need to stay home for the winter.  Confederacy 1.0 had some problems - population, economy, lack of unifying government - but they at least knew how to put up a fight.  Assuming Democrats manage to survive the next ten years, they're going to be very embarrassed to be reminded of stunts like this.

Trump would have known this would happen, which is why he's been talking about the Insurrection Act lately.  For all we know, this is where Johnson got the idea to declare himself the leader of the resistance.  Problem is, this isn't what a mayor is there for so it's not likely that people are going to be standing up with him, much less defending him from attacks.  You don't think they have drones and secret agents going around his office already to keep tabs on everything?

Some judge has just declared that deploying the National Guard to Chicago is illegal.  Apparently the Insurrection Act has a little-known clause that some random judge in Chicago can overrule it.  But that will probably get shot down in the next day or two.  I'm guessing this is why the Supreme Court hasn't spoken out all that much for the last few months and probably why Congress conveniently shut the government down.

This is going on in several places - all longtime-leftist big cities - but even there, not everybody is going on along with it.  They're going to need to purge the people who work for them - like Trump did - and then they'll have to face the rest of the populous, almost none of whom wanted this in the first place.  Even those who support these mayors and governors are going to demand perks for doing anything.  Basically they'd have to form a new government out of the ruins of the old government, and street gangs, while trying to fight the US military and protect illegal immigrants.

This is still not really giving a sign that the Trump administration is trying to punish these leftist tyrants.  One charge for marrying her father and picking different residences and misrepresenting her properties to get better mortgages?  I'm not that bothered by her only getting one charge, she's small potatoes, but it's been almost nine months without any big potatoes being fried.

Of course her judge was appointed by Biden.  Of course she sees that she's done nothing wrong.  Of course this directly contradicts public statement's she's made about people needing to be punished for lying to get a mortgage and insisting the law applies to everyone.  She has very little chance of being found guilty, virtually no chance of actually being punished and even then the punishment will be as small as possible.  These people can ignore the laws.  The Senior Prosecutor in this district even specifically refused to go after her.

She even ran for re-election promising to convict Trump for whatever she could find.  We see this across the Democratic Party, they are all going after whoever their current targets are.  They want more victims to blame and punish, whatever it takes to find them.  They achieve positions of authority this way because they can be installed by older, more experienced people who think the same way.  As many reasons as there are to criticize Trump, he's willing to stand and fight all these people for a long time.  So WTF aren't we seeing more of this?

They're all protected by the leftist government and judiciary.  They have free reign to do whatever they want and are genuinely surprised that anybody is trying to stop them.  These people had to get through their harsh home nations to get to a place where they were given free money, food, phones.  Then they had to survive the transportation across US borders.  They're military-age males, the roughest and toughest of the lot.  They're not here to adapt to our ways, they get what they want.  And leftists just adore that.

So my point is that more than anything, I think that's what Stephen A. Smith and his ilk are trying to get to here.  If this is what leftism is - and that's what we've been pointing out all these years - then no sane person wants anything to do with it.  I think this is what's happening across the country en mass, and hopefully around the whole world.  People like Smith are trying to put out a message that basically comes down to 'stop.  Get help.'  But the left doesn't want that.

Day eight without a federal government.  I just know Trump is begging us to come back but not for a million gazillion dollars!  Not until he spends a gazillion dollars on the things we want!  Like health care and sunny days and that girl who smiles at me.  Give me that and maybe we'll think about re-opening the government.  Well, I won't, I'll be busy living out my fantasies with that girl, teaching her how socialism and DEI really works, but you get my point.

But I'm trying to figure out what the federal government did for us.  We're surrounded by men-with-guns and we're attacking those evil government workers and anybody else who gets in our way.  Frankly we're having more fun than we did when there was a federal government.  But don't tell anybody.  If Trump supporters find out we're enjoying this, they'll want to join us and that would just be too much.

Trump's given us reason to not trust his appointees and I'm sexist anyway, but I do still try to be optimistic when I hear things like this.  The Insurrection Act is hovering directly above these people and they've had a week or so to show what Antifa is capable of.  They haven't put up much of a fight so far and I'm sure everything possible has been done to determine how much they have in back-ups.  Quite likely we've sent drones out to track whoever's in charge.

Sure, they have the gangs on their side but that's not a solid alliance.  The gangs will just go for chaos and victims, turning against anyone else.  That's the nature of gangs, they run their territory as a tribe and that means it's tough to get them to connect with anyone else.  Ooooh, the mayor wants help fighting the feds!!!  Maybe the gangs can be bribed, they're disposable anyway, but it seems iffy at best and not something you can do repeatedly.  This applies to Chicago as well as Portland.

Meanwhile, the federal government just has a lot more people they can send in.  I'm not saying it'll be completely effective, there will always be a level of resistance, but these are liberals so even that will be pretty flimsy.  It also looks like more and more people are supporting the Trump administration, given that this is clearly connected to the government shutdown.  As a revolution, this is a complete failure, as a Civil War, they're very badly outnumbered, and as a political strategy, it's going to be tough to find enough votes to steal to win anything for this.

Appeals Court Lifts Judge’s Order Blocking Trump From Mobilizing Oregon National Guard Troops

□ [“ABC, CBS, NBC And PBS Completely Ignore Virginia Democrat Jay Jones' Scandal"]

Of course they are.  As media, they are inherently leftist, especially those owned by giant corporations.  If they started telling their viewers what's going on, they'd basically have to shut down tomorrow.  That's why they're comfortable to stick with an ever-decreasing audience.  They're not going to change their policies until they feel pain personally.

Fortunately for them, this lines up with Jones' sudden absence from the public eye.  I think it's likely that he'll be kicked out of the election sooner or later but there's still a chance he'll stay in.  Since the media's not covering him, the party might just expect the D after his name to handle things with the voters.  They've got a lot of experience to think that'll work for them.

It's not like Democrats themselves are willing to speak out.  Checking leftist messageboards, they're basically the same as the media.  To the extent they acknowledge what Jones said at all, they just say 'that's bad' and then go back to ranting about the tyrant Trump and how we're all being put in camps and there's mass 'population reduction' and whatever.  Not that long ago, they were terrified about the upcoming war with Iran, now they've forgotten all about it.  The people in charge of the Democrat party know how to handle these people and assume everybody else is as easy to control, as long as they keep the media subordinate.

Because Hamas is so trustworthy.  There's no reason to think they're going to go along with this for real, they'd lose their status in the Muslim world if they did that.  If nothing else, they'd lose the next election in Gaza.  They've always been about wiping Israel off the face of the earth and aren't going to change their minds just because some paper has been signed somewhere.

Hopefully Trump and his staff know this is going to fail and they have plans ready when it does.  There's really no other positive result here I can see, just more delusion that somehow peace is possible here.  I will admit it's funny that the next Nobel Peace Prize should be announced any day and now they have even more to ignore to ensure Trump's not the winner.

□ [“US to Reportedly Provide Ukraine With Intel for Long-Range Missile Strikes Deep Inside Russia"]

Then there's stuff like this.  This article came out several days ago but since then it's reported that Trump will send/has sent tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.  Not that it'll change the outcome of the war, just that now it really is the US at war with Russia, which the EU always wanted.  As far as I'm concerned, things like this just wipe away any credit Trump gets for his accomplishments.  It's not what he was elected for.  At least with Israel it's the same delusion every POTUS has about finally fixing things.

But of course more things are going on to make this extra-complicated.  Zelensky is going back and forth on whether he would run for reelection or quit the job now if it would mean peace.  It's also rumored that Russia is ready to release info on the bribes Hunter Biden took from Ukraine that started this war.  The CIA was ready to report this but Biden stopped it.  Not sure who's less trustworthy, the Biden family or Russia.  And Hunter worked for Russian companies too, didn't they give him any bribes?  And behind all this, there is still China expanding its influence across the world.

Trump Reportedly Orders a Stop to All Diplomatic Talks With Venezuela

Day seven without a federal government.  This is great, we're running full speed to take down that tyrant Trump.  He thinks he's so powerful just because he's the only one in the government still working.  He doesn't have any idea what it's like to fire people but if government workers ever get their jobs back, he'll learn.  Or maybe they won't come back at all, hunh?  What about that, you orange man?

We're the ones with all the great ideas and we don't need any sissy government to do things for us.  You might as well give up now and let us have the government doing everything we want.  And make it quick because my former co-workers are applying for the same job at Starbucks that I applied for and some of them were actually better at making coffee than I ever was.

□ [“Senator John Kennedy Makes Prediction on What Will End the Schumer Shutdown"]

He suspects Schumer will get several Democrats to vote with Republicans as a favor to him.  He'll owe them but it needs to be done quietly, so he'll complain in public.  No idea if that's true, I never met Schumer, but it's certainly believable as standard Senatorial behavior.  You've got the leftists demanding the shut-down because it's the only way to win bigger, more powerful government, and then there's everyone else who's asking wtf are we doing this for?

I can't trust polls so there's no evidence, but I do get the impression that people are increasingly sick-and-tired of what the left is pushing everywhere and it's coming to a head with this shutdown.  Kennedy put out a list of all the ridiculous spending Democrats want to restore if they get their way on this shutdown and the more attention that gets, the more people will ask 'seriously?  That's what's more important to you than a functioning government?'  Basically they're increasingly looking like losers every day.

Then there's the way Trump gets to use this as an excuse to cut the government even more as long as the shut-down lasts.  He's willing to take all the blame although Congress could do something any time they want.  He also gets to handle the increasing wars without interference.  Then there's the fact that, as usual, most people don't even notice the government is absent.  That's just not a good position to be in but Democrats insisted on it.

I'm not even going to try to guess how long until Democrats cave in [although I will estimate that within three days, I'll completely reverse myself and make a guess anyway.]  Otherwise they don't have many options other than joining antifa and declaring a new Confederacy, separate from this country forever.  The only way that could work is if they've already spoken to China and are ready to let it take over on Day One.

‘Lame Duck’ Macron Clings to Power After Another Government Collapse; a Top Ally Demands He Resign

□ [“Trump Says He’s Ready to Invoke the Insurrection Act If Necessary"]

Assuming he hasn't done it already and just hasn't told the public.  By now I think it's pretty clear that this was the reason for the government shut-down, to give him free reign to fight the left.  The only question is if the Democrats and the uniparty knew about this in advance.  I think so, at least their leaders did.  I'm pretty sure they'd need to be notified of executive plans like this, the targets and the overall goal if not every specific detail.

Democrat state and city leaders are going to need to answer for why they support these criminals.  Maybe put them in these neighborhoods without bodyguards.  As a prominent Democrat once said, "only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy."  Just think of how many Democrats would be won over if we put that into action.  Chicago gangs are already offering money to kill government agents or provide information leading to their murder, something else Democrats can make use of anywhere they want.

□ [“Oregon Governor Tina Kotek Claims Federal Agents in Portland Are Antagonizing Protesters"]

Yes, the government is indeed antagonizing and people want less of it.  Problem is, the left never applies that to themselves.  Which is arguably what this war is really about.  There's an amusing video from Portland of a group of very old, very white people who think singing "This Land is Our Land" means anything.  Tell that to the Chinooks you took it from.  They must know that nobody is seeing this and is suddenly won over to their side and I'm not sure they even expect any attention for this.  If there's only one way to make these people change their policy, well, that's what we have to do.

□ [“Democrat AG Nominee Jay Jones Abruptly Cancels Fundraiser"]

Sounds like he's going to need to make some people change their policies and there's only one way to do that.   They aren't cancelling the fundraiser because the party is dumping him, although that may eventually happen.  They're just going quiet because the whole party agrees with him but don't want the public to know about it until it's too late.

They're trying to cover for him.  From the media to Hillary's veep choice, they just say it was an inappropriate comment but he's apologized so just forget about it.  They don't realize that this is the same sociopathic behavior that Jones demonstrated, that they should just get what they want and that's that.  If anyone disagrees, well, find a way to make them change policy.

In January 2022, several months before his comments on August 8, Jones was arrested for drunk driving.  As a Democrat, he was only punished with a few hours of 'community service,' and he carried that out by working for his own campaign.  The judicial system and the guy who wants to be in charge agreed that this was the right way to go.  No word on if they punished anybody else the same way, because "equality."  For driving 116 mph.

His line about "only when people feel pain personally do they move on policy" sticks out because it's a very simple explanation of what they're doing and why.  At no point is there a question on if hurting people is wrong, it's all about changing them.  This is sort whom the masters pick to oversee the other slaves, i.e. the rest of us.  All we need to do is treat them with the exact same viewpoint and they'd be wiped out.  We have the majority and the guns.

I *think* some of them are starting to realize that but no idea how many.  It's typical for leftists to just sneak away in the dark instead of publicly stating that they disagree.  Until they're willing to do that, I don't think they should get any pass.  As far as I'm concerned, they all agree with Jones and should be treated accordingly.

□ [“Geddy and Alex Send a Message to Rush Fans"]

I'm not a big Rush fan and even if I was, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't qualify to be as devoted as the *real* Rush fans are.  I do respect them, I've heard all their albums, although I have to check to make sure they didn't release anything else.  If they're playing close enough to me, I'll buy a ticket, but it would be more to say I got to see them than a major urge to hear them live.

But I'm glad they're doing it.  There's the obvious excuses, they're old, they could use the money from one last tour, doesn't sound like they have the slightest interest in doing another album.  The replacement drummer is female, of course.  I'm not one of those people who think Neil Peart was the center of the band.  One of my favorite Rush songs is "Working Man" from the album before he even joined.

One thing I do like about Rush is their integrity, virtually their entire career was based on the same three guys.  The two survivors shouldn't have to give everything up for that and I don't think the fans mind either.  Rock'n'roll is in its waning days because 'most everyone important is an old rich leftist, or they're dead.  So might as well get a last moment to appreciate what they brought, and gratitude for devoting their lives to this.  They're giving a 'thank you' to the fans, so it'll make a nice end of the story.
