□ [“Hunter Biden Floats 2028 White House Bid with Gavin Newsom"]

They're obviously just joking about this but it does raise the question, what the hell are they doing here?  Newsom is supposed to have a job.  I don't know how often he does a podcast but it's not like he's winning over any fans, it never gets noticed unless he brings on weirdos like Hunter.  Nobody's listening because they're so fascinated by Newsom, much less interested in Hunter.  The only listeners are just doing research for something to use against either of them.

It makes sense that Hunter would be doing this.  He has nothing better to do with his life so all he can do is pretend to be one of the rich and famous people like Newsom.  He'd probably immediately agree to become a cohost if given the chance, although then he might screw things up within a few months.  He might have done this interview hoping someone will give him a job but I'm not sure even the leftist elites are that desperate.

So then why are they doing this?  You'd think Newsom would have staff keeping people like Hunter away from him, even in long-distance communication.  Hunter probably has whatever remains of Joe Biden's staff, but so does Jill.  She would probably be a better interview subject and she has a book to sell right now.  Maybe they asked and she didn't want to so Hunter was the best replacement they could  get.

I don't see anything specific but something about this deal is looking better.  There's still no sense that Iran is even a coherent nation anymore, I'd still expect the IRGC to be split up and each group carrying out their own attacks on whoever.  Yet something about this seems like those in charge have agreed.  They aren't surrendering, not yet, but they're giving in.

The basic deal is that Iran can't have a nuclear program, the Strait is open and they can't fund terrorism.  I doubt the rulers have agreed on that yet but they're getting close.  Their economy is broken, they've shown how weak they are to the infidel, they can't even convince other Muslims to join in.  Terrorists from all over were willing to go to Iraq and fight the US, by now you'd think they'd have a lot of kids willing to follow those footsteps for Iran.  Yet no one's coming in to save them.

With the problems in the Strait, they've had a lot of oil backed up, unable to to be delivered.  Reportedly Trump has permitted some/most of it to come out now and sent to its customers.  In the short term it helps Iran but economically things are moving back and forth now in ways that they aren't used to.  It's not like they can suddenly build back-up pipes and storage in case the Americans try this again in a month or two.  Their customers probably don't want to deal with that either.

We still don't know what the negotiations are about but I suspect China and Russia are going along with whatever Trump's plans for Iran are.  Perhaps they've accepted it all along and the negotiations are about how to handle Iran itself or how to deal with something else.  As I keep saying, I'd much prefer this be happening faster than it's going but I can't deny the progress that's been made after all this time.

When you leaving?  Got your bags packed?  You know where you're headed yet or just going to pick the first place you can get a ticket to?

This rhetoric has gone on for a long time.  Liberia was founded by freed American slaves and they practiced slavery well into the 20st century.  And that's probably the most successful attempt at this, I can't think of any others that got even that far.  Marcus Garvey spent his whole career promoting "Back to Africa" and although he travelled around a lot, never bothered to do that.

Pretty sure Reid isn't going to be leaving any time soon.  Neither are the fans who listen to him.  Then there's everybody else.  Consciously or not, they probably all realize that they wouldn't be anywhere near as comfortable in Africa as they are here.  How much of the continent even has working internet?  The Muslims-in-charge are going to have some very specific rules that you'd better comply with.

I still haven't found any white leftists even referring to what's going on.  Is their pet media keeping them totally ignorant or are they just waiting for instructions on how to respond?  I have no evidence but I'm hoping this is going to go quiet very quickly once these black elitists realize that they really have no influence and the majority of American blacks don't want anything to do with this.  This might be the racial equivalent of Bud Lite deciding they need transgenders to sell beer.  Anyone stupid enough to do this doesn't deserve any attention.  Yet here the celebrities are, putting themselves out for it.

There's been a number of arrests like this in the last few days, I don't think I've even covered all of them.  I suspect the timing is deliberate although it's not clear what they're aiming at yet.  The only guess I have are some upcoming election shenanigans with a July 4th deadline but it could be anything really.  Iran or Hunter Biden or the Epstein files or something we'd never consider.

I also hope that these are relevant targets, not just random crimes being busted.  I mean, yes, they should be busted but I'm hoping they were chosen for influence across the board.  These fraudsters will point to others, those scams are becoming public knowledge.  I will assume the left will continue to ignore it, or just say it's all made up.  I've noticed that suddenly they're back to elections being 100% trustworthy no matter what.  And by an amazing coincidence, they get all the victories.

I just realized, Congress is being really quiet about all this stuff, aren't they?  I'm probably missing stuff but we don't hear AOC or Bernie or Nancy or whoever wailing about these raids or funding cuts or Iran or much of anything.  More than anything, I think that tells us Trump is hitting the right places because if they speak out, their connections will be exposed and they know it.  All they can do is fall back on generic rhetoric without actually doing anything, or just look stupid with what public comments some of them are making.  We saw this with the Somali fraud in Minnesota, we see this with Iran's connections being cut and here's more voting scams.

So this is what the left is trying to do now.  The second attack in Florida so far.  They really think this is going to work.  That's how smart they are.  The only real question is how many blacks will agree with this?  The higher the percentage, the more evidence that there is no equality, there never will be and we should stop pretending.

At a guess, I suspect many/most blacks will realize they need to distinguish themselves from these creatures so they'll act more sensible and decent.  That will hit the elite black community hard since they rely on these people stupid enough to violently oppose punishing a murderer.  I still haven't found any public statement from Obama and the white leftist sites I check remain silent.

All Planned Parenthood needs to do is put this family in an ad and they're guaranteed massive support, possibly even taxpayer money.  Margaret Sanger founded it to remove these worthless people as cheaply and easily as possible.  And they are demonstrating that it applies to the entire family.

I think the left will try to get some protests out of this.  Maybe it'll work but I doubt there will be much.  School is out, there's the fake holiday coming up in a week or so, they've got all this hype, maybe they finally found an actual reason for blacks to show up.  But I don't think they'll get as much support as they expect.  If anything, they'll just do more damage to their own neighborhoods.

□ [“Trump Says Settlement Reached With Iran – Deal Could be Signed This Weekend"]

These three articles came out within five-and-a-half hours.  It would be very nice to believe it's true.  That would mean we've hit Iran hard yesterday and were ready to do it today but they've finally had enough.  He did suggest he'll put a small number of troops on the ground to take over, I'm guessing that would be a special forces team and I doubt 'taking over' would be the mission.  They might grab the current Ayatollah, that would be close enough.

The downside is this might not be true.  It might be Trump making threats but then backing down.  He keeps doing that and I don't think it looks good to anybody.  You can argue that he's shown what he's capable of and the threats are necessary to move the mullahs and IRGC, maybe that's true but it's nothing we can bet on.  He keeps staying there's a deal being made but so far that's always remained just out of reach, why should we expect it to be different now?

All that said, there's no evidence but I get the impression most of the negotiating parties are in agreement about whatever-the-f*ck they've been talking about for months.  Israel, most of the Middle East nations, whoever's left in Iran to negotiate, China and Russia are certainly involved.  This war does seem to be reaching a conclusion and so far nobody is rushing into actual combat.  I have no proof and I'm not saying everything will be peaceful within a week but I do suspect we're nearing the end of something that really needed to be taken care of but no one else had been willing to do.

And one other note, gas prices are definitely going down.  Not a lot but all the gas stations I pass daily have dropped at least 20 cents from the highpoint a couple weeks ago.  I still think this was definitely part of the plan, Trump helping oil companies last year to minimize the price increases when he dealt with Iran, then cutting prices as soon as possible.  He just boasted that 100 million gallons (or whatever) of crude are now leaving the Strait, almost literally promising a huge decrease in prices soon.

Is he doing this deliberately or just saying whatever he's told to say?  As a leftist and Muslim, no way to know.  He is demonstrating what these people do whenever they're in charge and has no interest in or respect for the city itself.  No interest in its history or neighborhoods.  It's about pushing leftism but I have to wonder how much of this is to bother Trump.  He was always a New Yorker at heart although he hasn't lived there for quite a while.

Mamdani is doing as much as he can to make NYC a third-world state.  It's already been noticed - by a Democrat on the city council no less - that all his funding goes to places that voted for him.  Some potholes are more important than others.  He can lie about 'inclusivity' as much as he wants, he's only going to support the tribe and no one else.

Charles isn't going to do anything.  Perhaps there will be enough publicity that the girls feel obliged to take a little less money in such blatant ways but that's about it.  They have nothing else to offer but feel entitled to get everything.  I assume they both have plenty of kids who will just continue doing the same thing.  This is the worst thing they could be doing at this moment so that's what they'll do.

William says when he takes the throne he'll start cutting down on expenses like this.  I've said nice things about William before but I'm skeptical.  Charles could have done this at any point so there's no reason to think William would do better.  I've said before that I think the British monarchy is one of the few remaining building blocks of western civilization but this is what it's reduced to.  There was no way to avoid giving Charles the crown - it would have taken more work for him to avoid it - but the only good move he could have made was to turn around and hand it to William.  That would have had potential, now it's worthless.

And here we go.  There's already several stories like this, showing everybody the standards of attacking strangers because of their skin color.  Karmelo and his jury were in Texas but that doesn't matter to this smart young man.  There's a couple other reports of large numbers of blacks brawling, Pennsylvania and St. Louis are the articles I currently see.  No idea if there's a direct connection but, well, they're going to call me 'racist' anyway so who cares?

So far I've only seen a couple black celebrities speak out and those are the sort you'd expect.  I'm guessing that no one saw this coming.  Jasmine Crockett and Cardi B, not the highest examples.  I also haven't seen much in the way of white leftists complaining about the verdict.  No evidence but I'm wondering if the blacks who are actually civilized are realizing that they can't put up with this any more.  If you can't act decent, you will be treated the same as the rest of your skin color and you deserve nothing better.

I'm waiting for the big-name black celebrities to speak out, the ones who have something to lose if things break down.  I'm specifically thinking of Obama.  He's probably just voting "present" right now but he'll eventually have to say something.  He'll keep whoever's mindless obedient regardless of whatever he says but everyone else will probably be disappointed.  If it's meaningless nonsense, no one will care.  If he sides with the murder victims, he's just erased all the authority he had in the black community.  And if he sides with the murderer, he loses the rest of it.  Michelle too, if she's still around.

At least attacking the police is understandable.  There is something people can argue about.  This was outright murdering a teenager and yet this guy still has supporters openly speaking out?  They can't convince anybody of anything, they're just insane and willing to attack.  It's going to be a hot summer.

Maybe I'm just a little optimistic but this might be helpful.  Hit them hard at first, go back and forth with negotiations, we want Iranians to overthrow the regime.  Unfortunately it won't happen all at once but Trump was trying to get a positive result and when that doesn't happen, hit them again.  This has barely been going on for more than a hundred days but it does appear to be following a schedule.

It's not clear what we've been hitting but I would hope some high-ranking people are the targets.  Most speculation is on energy plants and bridges but that hasn't worked so far and Iran is probably too tough for that to change.  They have responded with a few drones and missiles on their neighbors, no word on if that did anything.  And we still haven't heard anything from the people, not even women dressed as prostitutes.  WTF are we doing here?

Whatever influence Iran had around the world, I think something in the power structure has clearly been taken down.  In the US, we see that with grabbing all violent illegal immigrants, DOGE going through all the funding and where it comes from.  Maduro is probably spilling everything he knew and none of his supporters are saying anything in public.  Russia and China are both restrained.  We still don't see the bigger picture but the enemy structure does seem to be falling a piece at a time.

Even though I doubt this will get anywhere, the drums are getting louder.  The elites know they'll be targets so there's a lot of incentive to save themselves.  This also applies to their armed guards, especially those who are native British and have family members out there.  The people are sick and tired of this.

It makes sense that Trump immediately started sending out illegals.  Think about it, this would be helping to keep them safe.  Those in Britain are protected but if the mobs get through, they'll be dead.  Who's going to risk anything to save this Sudanese guy?  Even in prison he might not live much longer.

At a guess, I would say it's the recent shift in Muslim nations at the UN which made this happen at all.  It's never made sense but one of the first things the UN ever did was support the existence of Israel, and they've opposed it ever since.  All these decades of the Filistines supporting their own oppressors and now the UN is forced to actually admit it.  You voted for these people.  This is what you wanted.

No way to know what this will do.  Most of the world doesn't care in the first place but those who do are connected to the UN.  Then they're pushed by globalists who all support the same gender and sexual behavior that's illegal in Palestine.  Then there's all the money and NGOs flowing around the world, no clue what it all means.  Describing all this, the report doesn't come across as that big of a deal for anybody, but something about it seems like a big deal.

The cracks in the EU continue to grow wider.  Eastern Europe thought they were done with socialism when the Warsaw Pact finally fell, now they have to put up with the west and they're having enough of it.  There is no reason to waste money and weapons on someone else's war.  Yet the leftist elites still refuse to 'give peace a chance.'  Four years in and they're still not rushing to the front lines, they're demanding others handle that.

Chaos seems to be growing all across Europe.  I'm still debating whether or not to include Britain in that because it would make its own argument without connection to Europe.  It's also interesting that each nation's problems seem to be quite specific to them.  You don't just see pro- or anti-EU protests, for instance.  These countries were built over centuries by people who lived in this land.  Any replacement and that country vanishes.

Haven't followed this case closely and am not interested enough to look up what I missed.  A black Texas teenager - high school athlete? - barged into a tent from one of the opposing teams and harassed them.  They didn't like it so he murdered one of them.  And there you go, first degree murder by someone who has no reason to stay alive.

The left has been pushing this stuff for quite a while now.  They use their expendable forces to (a) kill people and (b) be punished as martyrs and encourage others to do the same thing.  They've used all their funding methods to get the activists involved - the Black Panthers are demanding a "race war" - but this shows how desperate the left is.

We'll see how many blacks are genuinely stupid enough to obey their masters and how many actually see this makes no sense and are just tired of this.  'You break in on someone else, you deserve to get killed' is basic sensibility.  Even the black teammates supported the white kid against the black attacker.  But liberals support the attacker, they don't know any better.

This would have gotten started anyway but I suspect one major reason for this push to happen immediately is because Trump has done so much for the last to year to bring peace to black neighborhoods.  He's been getting rid of violent criminals and making the streets safer, something their Democrat masters have refused to do for decades.

They're going to push for violence this summer.  That probably won't help Democrats in the mid-terms but they aren't worried about votes.  I still think the leftist elites self-identify as a separate nation so they need to send the peons out to die for the cause.  This mentality seems to be a basic part of human nature and I really suspect it's behind most-if-not-all of what goes wrong in every society in history.

If anyone in Britain still wants these mongrels to remain alive, get them out of Britain now.  Then join them because you don't deserve it either.  There is no incentive to let any of them continue to breathe.  If any of them deserved that right, they'd have already been turning the scum over for punishment.  It's clear whose side they're on and it's not Britain.

Fight back.  The difficult part is getting arms.  Sad to say, the best idea I have is to find allies in police and political parties who are able to smuggle them in.  Hopefully there are Americans who will help.  If Trump wants to send in the 101st Airborne to take over, I'd be fine with that.  Otherwise I don't think it would be helpful for a handful of Americans to come over and think they'd make any difference, much as I wish they could.

□ [“This mess has completely changed Star Wars"]

The movie is dead.  Monday's box office shows it barely made $20,000 more than the Michael Jackson bioflick which came out four weeks earlier and is in @700 fewer theaters.  It's still almost $100 million less than Return of the Jedi in 1983 and no matter how long Disney keeps it in theaters, it'll never get much closer.

I still think there's a good chance that Kathleen Kennedy and her ilk intended to fail, burning everything down.  Maybe so they could remake it from the ground up, maybe just so new 'girl-power' franchises could replace it.  Both theories seem unrealistic but how could they have expected success with such ever-increasing failure in less than a decade.  The first sequel movie had a lot of hopeful fans.  The third one made barely half as much and the failures just kept building.

Other than Baby Yoda marketed to whatever that audience is, none of the merchandise is selling.  The other characters are barely remembered, much less followed by fans.  Disneyland is re-installing One True Franchise material, Hayden Christensen has already made one or two appearances and is scheduled for more.  Might help a little but it's still depending on what they wanted to get rid of in the first place.

Lucasfilm must have purchased the visual IPs of Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill, why not just generate a cgi adventure and use decent fake voice actors?  Not saying Disney could do that well and not saying the fans would be forgiving even at that point but it seems like the best chance they have to win over people's interest again.

They obviously were trying to do an actual storyline.  It's not confirmed yet but I still think next year's movie was intended to build up to the return of the sequel characters, or at least Ray.  Marvel did a very good job of making an actual movie franchise in ten years with Phases 1-3 and Disney purchased it halfway through the process so they expected to replicate it everywhere.  Now they can't even get people interested in Disney+ streaming which is another colossal failure.

Because comics are always so good at keeping up with what the readers want.  That's why they sell so well.  I wonder how long this decision had been debated throughout the corporate hierarchy until someone finally told an editor to put together a creative team and put this book out.  At least it might have made sense five years ago.

I will admit that unlike virtually every other decades-old corporate IPs, Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston would probably have supported this.  Even if he didn't, he helped make it happen.  I'm seriously wondering what these large comics companies have been aiming for all these decades, especially with a medium and genre considered 'aimed at children.'

I have never been a Wonder Woman fan and to whatever extent I have any respect for the character, this just screams like something she would be opposed to in every possible way.  Which, oddly enough, lines up with why DC is so eager to do this.  You don't need consent from your property to do whatever you want to do to it and you'll decide what gender they are this month.

Maybe it's just a personal view because I've always been a fan of comics, maybe it's because comics are for whatever reason at the heart of pop culture, maybe this is just a convenient example but this is what's being pushed by leftism.  All these huge corporations, Hollywood, IPs, everything along the line is ready to burn.  Every day that passes, more people are willing to stand back and watch it happen.  No heroes will save them.

The non-white female Democrat who dropped out after losing has somehow gotten enough votes in the several days since to now be in second place.  She has over 40,000 more votes than she did on Election Night, there's no record as far as I know of the white male Republican getting a single vote during that time.  There was a two-term Republican mayor during the Clinton years but he's the only non-Democrat in office since JFK's first year as POTUS.  It's a one-party state and that's how Democrats want it.

Trump is making noise about this.  I'm iffy on that.  It's great that he's getting a lot of attention for this and he's usually fun to watch.  I am still ambivalent if the POTUS should really be doing this even though it clearly is something that needs to be done.  Perhaps that's why he made a point of campaigning in California a couple years ago to set the grounds for this.  He did make a point of insulting a leftist reporter, which was entertaining, but then why did he let her talk to him in the first place?  She hosts Meet the Press and worked to help Biden in the 2024 debate.

The city council districts show this is a one-party state and the few exceptions are probably deliberate.  Of the fifteen districts, ten of them haven't voted Republican since the 1960s.  One district has been solid Republican, no Democrat since 1948, but the current member went independent in 2020.  Another district had two Republicans in office from 1943 to 1985, that qualifies as an exception.  Two other districts had their Republicans go independent, one just before the Clinton administration, the other just after.  The last district has been Democrat since 2001.  I suspect the only reason they permitted Republicans during these years were to get access to that party to spy on them.

So the country is watching this.  Many things are going on but one reason is probably for incentive to have an unbeatable victory across the nation in the mid-terms.  Just make it too big for them to fake.  Examples were set in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024 and the recent ones.  Put that to use.  Furthermore, research is being done on the voter fraud.  Nick Shirley has identified a woman who is 126 years old according to the voting roles.  He knocked on her door and she's not 126 years old.  They're putting this together but what use will they make of it?

□ [“EU Sanctions Iran as European Allies Ask Trump to Back Hormuz Demining Mission"]

They're being forced to do something to protect their interests.  Officially a handful of ships are allowed to go through the Strait but otherwise it remains closed.  The EU would like to get back to burning fossil fuel so they're using whatever muscle they have on Iran and preparing to remove the mines Iran has set up across the Strait.  They waited this long to do anything.

Otherwise it does look like Trump has accomplished whatever the point was.  Iranians have not revolted but it might take a while to get that started.  I'm not happy about it but it has been pointed out that some of Eastern Europe took a while to react to the collapse of the Soviet era.  Russia and China still haven't really moved in to help their ally - as far as we know - and the rest of the Muslim world united with Israel against the mullahs.  There's a lot to criticize about how Trump has handled this but he's getting results and with almost no US casualties.

Iran and Israel are still fighting although the news is still very contradictory.  I'm looking at an article now that says Iran has agreed to stop fighting but gives absolutely no details on who or how or why.  Probably just their strange cultural ways but it's irritating that we still see no real point to this.  Iran wants to destroy Israel, we get that, but this is not really the best time.  And doesn't Israel have enough to do in their region?  I guess we can at least be glad that they're taking more of the risk.

□ [“Governor Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison Knew of Rampant Minnesota Fraud But Said Nothing"]

Another example of Democrats-in-charge covering up for their own people at the cost of everyone else.  Of course they lied, claiming they knew very little about this.  The House Oversight Committee's report points out that they had been informed of this fraud since 2019.  But they've only recently started doing anything about it, after the rest of the country found out.

Of course they'll just say the Republican-led committee is lying.  Gotta admit, that's probably their best option, just to get as many people as possible to side with them.  But those people need to be stupid and/or in on the fraud, normal people will be disgusted that this has gone on so long.  Even worse, we still only know a little of what they've been doing all these years.  Then there's 49 other states...

Civil War 2.0 is here and I think everybody senses it just from the general atmosphere.  Yet it hasn't gone kinetic.  We should still be ready for that and every day has more news stories of wackos in the US killing or trying to kill people but as tense as this is, it still hasn't reached the point of two armed forces headed out to fight.  Whatever there is remains smaller and mostly-ineffective, probably because Trump picked military leaders with experience handling Baghdad and similar areas.  Whatever the left has on their side, they aren't prepared for this.

□ [“Trump Offers Timeline for When Gas Prices Will Start Dropping Again"]

Trump gets credit for having a clue what actually matters to people.  Democrats weren't complaining about gas prices six months ago.  They didn't even mention gas prices.  They didn't complain about them two years ago either when they were at least as bad as they are now.  There has been a very slight drop in my town which I hoped was a sign that things would get better in the near future.

Trump says it'll be 90 days and the prices will be better than they were four months ago.  That would be just in time to ruin a lot of Democrat propaganda for the mid-terms.  Things like this are why I really hope Trump and his people have fully planned these things out.  I think any decent drop in gas prices would help the mid-terms but now he's on the record of saying things will be fixed.  Are the oil companies ready to start gushing out by then?  Because otherwise the Middle East needs to be fixed and you might need a little more than 90 days for that.

I actually started writing this to get to the Middle East but it does occur to me that it's been over a year and a half since oil companies started getting help from Trump and they had a few months to plan.  So things might be ready now and it's quite believable that everything was planned with this timing.  The oil companies had to restart whatever plans they had when Trump took his unscheduled four-year vacation but they're moving now.

This is why I hope the administration planned things out.  With all the build-up to the mid-terms, it would be awesome if this is yet-another failure for Democrats, especially since they always wanted high gas prices.  In fact it would almost be funny - not in a 'ha-ha' way - if the timing was off and the Middle East explodes, but gas prices are still going down.  People would have some major questions about that and how things work.

□ [“Israel Strikes Beirut After Hezbollah Missile Attack in Northern Israel"]
□ [“Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles at Israel as Regional Tensions Escalate"]

I get that Israel needs to deal with Hezbollah but it's been going on for a long time.  Lebanon is right next door, this should be something they'd have already handled, unless the Lebanese are overwhelmingly anti-Israel, which I don't think they are.  Iran clearly has close ties to Hezbollah but you'd think those would be cut off by now.

And Trump is arguing with Israel about this, at least publicly.  You'd think they would be on the same page and maybe they are in private but this just makes no sense.  That's not even counting the bizarre way the other Muslim nations are siding with Israel against Iran.  Meanwhile Russia and China haven't been able to help Iran as much as you'd expect.  They have other problems but they aren't backing it with major force.

The US has hit Iran in a few places, I haven't paid attention, radar sites at Goruk and Qeshm Island, but it's suggested this was a big deal for their side.  There is the impression that something has changed and the mullahs are clearly on the losing side.  The details are still not public and probably wouldn't be comprehensible if they were.  It is depressing, at what point will we be able to actually see what's going on?

□ [“Kiev and EU Globalists Scheming To Send Ukrainian Refugees Back Home to the Meatgrinder"]

There's already been a news story that some were already sent home and immediately sent to the front lines.  I'm skeptical that's true.  If they were really stupid enough to do that, wouldn't you be broadcasting it everywhere?  'Our heroes are home!'  I'm sure they're discussing it, Ukraine doesn't have any men left who are in the 23-60 age group.  I still don't get why their draft age starts at 23 but that's been consistently reported during the whole war so it's been going on forever.

But this shows the basic flaws of leftism, how they cannot fall back on their own beliefs.  The whole point of mass immigration is to get away from immediate danger, which Russia invading certainly qualifies as.  Europe is supposed to support that but suddenly they want to send the immigrants back home?  Is it because they're white men?  After all this time, they've still never found any other genders to draft.

So having destroyed the basic concept of 'immigration,' they're also telling everybody what they can do and don't require consent.  You believed the EU would protect you?  They won't.  Have fun on the front lines in a war.  The EU can't even announce that they're only doing this to Ukrainian men, everyone else will be protected.  No one's stupid enough to believe that.

Then there's the deeper hit at nationalism.  They aren't EU, they are Ukraine.  And for that matter, French, Italian, German, Hungarian, etc.  English, Scot, Welsh, Bogtrotters, they were never EU either.  The whole point of the EU, theoretically, was to get rid of these nations, now you're picking out one particular nationality and forcing them against their will to return to their home country.  Might as well require Russians to do that because their country f*cking started in Kiev!  They've had a thousand years to think about this, along with the influence of marxism and well, being Russian.  You ain't gonna win that argument but the EU is still trying.

Russia is currently taking the last part of Donetsk, the region they were fighting over in the first place.  Ukraine has recently been doing more with drones and missiles, I'm not sure how effective it's really been but at least it appears to have had more effect than the last several years of resistance.  This war will probably be remembered as where drones were really used in major ways, whether or not we find any other real purpose.

Latest LA Mayoral Ballot Dump Buries Spencer Pratt – Democrat Nithya Raman Projected to Win
June 7, 2026

□ [“Disney Investors Panic!  Star Wars Flops!  Will Avengers Doomsday Be Next?"]

The latest movie has barely passed $150 million after its third weekend.  It's going to struggle to get much more.  Return of the Jedi made $250 million on its first release.  1983 money and it was only in a thousand theaters nationwide.  It also wasn't as popular as the two previous movies.  This isn't doing well.

Disney has been taking it hard all down the line so yes, they need to worry about Marvel too.  Next year is another Star Wars movie and there's no reason to think it'll do anything.  In ten years they killed the franchises.  Yet their stock hasn't collapsed.  The suggestion is that the investors have been keeping it up because a large part of the economy depends on Disney.  That would give the leftists in charge a lot of leeway which seems to be coming to an end.

I still want Kathleen Kennedy to be required to answer some serious questions in public.  But the damage goes much deeper.  This company has been a leftist icon for a long time and with its spread across the world, there's a lot of connections and influence.  Disney was basically dead by its 100th anniversary, now Star Wars is in the same situation for its 50th.

The new Avengers movie is already expected to not be a hit.  It can't be, they've spent far too much money to make it, but they need to hope it's not a total bomb.  Is there anything they can do to save it?  Especially when we can just post the youtube videos of the only Avengers actors anyone cares about promoting Kamala Harris.  Comics fans have long known that it's a lot easier to just drop the titles you used to like instead of spending more and more time and money just to keep track.  Yet leftists still believe that these corporate IPs will always be there and never notice the contradiction.

□ [“NBC News Casually Admits Mail-in Ballots Always Put Democrats Ahead"]

And there's the real goal of the Spencer Pratt candidacy.  He came in a decent second place in the L.A. elections where the point is to narrow the candidates down to two for a follow-up election in November.  Then the mail-in ballots started being counted and he gets zero votes.  As far as I know, he hasn't lost yet but it's clear that will happen soon.  That's why the votes take so long to get counted, so Republicans have no chance.

That's what Pratt was sent in for.  He made enough noise that he had a good chance of winning over voters in this one-party city.  This is an example of several options that are prepared for.  He might win, showing California how stagnant it is.  He might lose the election but it will show that there's a large number of non-Democrats with no representation in government.  Or you get what we have here where the theft is happening in front of everybody.  In each possibility, the blame goes to one party, the one that's been in charge for decades.

It's California so I doubt they'll be careful about this but everybody sees it and not just in this state.  People everywhere will be asking if their state follows any of these policies that make voter fraud so beneficial to one party year after year.  These people might like some evidence in all 50 states that the mid-terms aren't going to be treated this way, not by the party that promises to punish everyone who didn't vote for them in 2024.

It's right next to Chicago.  That's what living in a leftist environment does to you that you'll take this giant organization and move it a few miles where life is easier.  Berlin had similar problems and had to build a wall.  At least Chicago already has men with guns who get along well with government officials to keep people in.  And just look at all the arguments this makes in favor of immigration.

□ [“Trump-Hater Forced to Make Painful Admission When She Sees New Reflecting Pool in Person"]

This is the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.  For many years it was wasted, then Trump fixed it.  I had to look it up to find out it was the Lincoln Memorial because the reflection of the Washington Monument is getting all the attention.  It was a year or so ago that Trump barged in and started making decisions for DC and now there are obvious improvements.  Meanwhile Chicago is giving a big example of what happens when liberals stay in charge.

Trump is a builder anyway.  He was also much younger when Rudy Giuliani was his mayor and made a point about fixing things, the "broken windows" theory.  It just makes the city look better.  Leftist cities are all seeing these problems and can't do anything about it.  What is Chicago going to do with the stadium now?  People will see it going to waste and say "Democrats did that."  They'll look at the Lincoln reflecting pool and say "Democrats didn't do that."

□ [“DHS Busts Drug Smuggling Tunnel - Rail System and Reinforced Walls From Tijuana to San Diego"]

It's only about 15-20 miles apart, not as bad as I was expecting, but an underground rail system of that distance is still a big deal.  So far we don't know how long it's been there and 55 feet under ground, with electricity, it took a while to build.  The footage only showed one brief glimpse of the rail system - I think that's what it was - so I'm not sure if people could actually travel on it.  So it probably wasn't trafficking, just product, weapons, money.  Well, maybe small children.

I haven't thought much about it so it's a surprise to realize that we haven't heard much about problems at the border for a while.  It's almost like shutting them down really worked.  Some people are trying to move in drugs - Texas just busted a stash house in Eagle Pass - but I'm pretty sure that's been cut down a lot in the last year and a half.

For that matter, I can't think of much in the way of news on if illegals are still getting in.  There was an official announcement a month or so ago that two or three million had left on their own, plus however many Trump has kicked out.  It's only a dent in the problem but it's more than anyone else has done.  Despite Trump's rhetoric, I'm skeptical that this is a problem that can really be solved.  But we can keep trying.

□ [“Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito Drops Another Bombshell ‘Fraud Friday’"]

This may be another thing that we don't hear much about, or at least I'm not paying much attention to it.  But the Department of Labor Inspector General is announcing people who are being punished for various amounts of fraud and other theft of taxpayer money.  I am curious why the Labor Department is the one handling this.  Nothing else to work on?  Sort of makes the argument that this department isn't very needed.  Maybe that's the point.

I have to admit I'm curious about how much progress has been made on all the fraud but obviously I haven't been focusing on it.  As much as I criticize Trump not getting things done and taking on too many big tasks, this one is a big deal and probably should be getting more attention.  I have to wonder how much cheaper the government would be if it had never allowed this fraud in the first place.  But if that was the case, the Uniparty would need to find another reason to exist.

I'm also wondering who counts the money being moved, or restored if it can be taken back from the criminal.  Because at some point there would have to be a fairly simple-to-understand tally to present to Congress and the public.  'This many billions of dollars were stolen by these people.  That many billions have been restored.'  I can't think of the terminology and don't know how government financing works but I know enough to know that at some point it can be done in a fairly simple way.  The right would applaud and the left would have to explain why they let this happen for so long.
