Did anybody *not* expect them to do this?  Didn't even realize it but Bill was supposed to have testified today, Hillary tomorrow.  There are people who go to jail for defying congressional subpoenas but the laws don't apply to everybody.  Now the question is what Congress will do about this.

Odds are nothing will happen because Congress doesn't get paid to do stuff.  That said, it's not a guarantee.  Even Democrats have to realize this sets a precedent they'd rather not face.  If the Clintons can defy them and get away with it, so can others.  If this Epstein testimony is such a big deal that the Clintons can ignore it, who else would go along with it?  For that matter, have any of the others obeyed the subpoenas?  Not getting much attention there.  That's why the odds are so high that Congress won't bother to respond.

I don't think this is the end but I don't have a clue where this will go next.  Maybe we'll see if the Democrats get any pushback from their voter base.  They can say nice things about Bill and Hillary but those two are old and out-of-date.  They may be obsessed about Somalis and ICE but they'd also be willing to sacrifice their own people to get more about Epstein which the Clintons definitely have.  If Congress votes on this, a lot of donors might call and say they'd better vote against the Clintons, or else.

We're not even halfway through the first month and already this year is exciting, giving me tingles in my girly-parts.  [Note to self:  Where did those come from?  Better check into that.]  I think other states are involved but they're trying to sue to stop the federal government from enforcing federal law.  That's like trying to punish a baseball player for hitting a baseball with a bat and running around all the bases.  You're going to need to bribe a lot of judges and hope they're stupid enough to go for this.

Minnesota does seem to be where Civil War 2.0 is intended to start for real.  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is pointing out evidence of AG Keith Ellison meeting with his donors about stopping the investigations into Somali fraud if they give him more donations.  There's already some video released and some of those people have already gone to jail for frauding the taxpayer.  The Democrats-in-charge knew about this all along, not just with Somalis and not just in Minnesota.

They're all glad the lesbian was shot, now it gives them an excuse to schedule these protests for the foreseeable future.  Which they're already doing.  This is just doing the same things they did last year where a bunch of old white people pretend they're relevant, or a majority.  They're not winning over support and it's not clear if they believe they are.  It's also increasingly clear to everyone that these people are mentally unhealthy, just by thinking they can defy federal law-enforcement and get away with it.

Women are capable of inspiring men to do more and take the lead.  I was very pleased when Sarah Palin was unleashed upon the country because it looked like she could do just that.  It didn't work out back then but the possibility is still there.  But it goes both ways, the old white women handling these protests are capable of finding males to do the same thing.

However where Palin could have found men willing to pick up guns and fight for her, this guy does not come across as being of the same caliber.  This guy posted a porn video online of himself with his wife and some other female and didn't even bother to get the required legal documents signed, which cost him a lot of money in court.  Beyond that, he openly admits to creating internet sock puppets to use against people he doesn't like.  Basically he comes off as someone who's all talk.  Many threats of violence and the leftism is more of an excuse to get away with that.

But they're all trying to push, inspire and outdo each other.  Their mental illnesses will become overwhelming at some point and at least a few will really try to kill people.  How many will actually go through with this?  People with this objective don't intend to come out of it still alive so I also wonder how much of this lines up with suicide bombing.  At least ICE is trained to handle this, the "suicide" is more important for the others than the "bombing."  But Muslims have a religious reward in mind, these protesters have none of that, yet they'll be doing the same thing sooner or later.

Two transgender lawsuits have merged [that sounds icky] and landed at the Supreme Court.  So far it sounds like this will not go well for the *woke* crowd as there are some obvious questions which the lawyers have no chance of answering.  Like 'if you can't define a gender then how can you define discrimination against that gender?'  All these years of arguing about this stuff and the left has never come up with an answer for that.

It was also noted that the black chick asked a question so incoherent that the lawyer had no idea what she was talking about.  I'm not sure why she's even allowed to be part of this hearing since she has no clue what a "woman" is but that's what being hired by DEI gets you.  Things don't seem to be going very well for her these days.

As always, I'm negative about the Supreme Court.  That's probably not going to change any time soon.  This case seems to be going well at the moment but it could change at any time.  They still haven't done anything publicly about the activist judges.  I'm also worried that, like Congress, they'll start admitting that the uniparty calls all the shots.  Not sure how this should be handled and am worried that the problem is just too big to solve.

I will be hopeful.  Not because there's any proof that it'll work *this time!*  Any belief I have that something will finally be done about the tyrants and their servants and what they've all imposed on us for all these years, it all comes from the timing of this being filed now.  Trump has hit or is ready to hit Venezuela, Iran and Cuba, three major long-time supporters of the globalist enemy.  Not saying I'm convinced we'll see any victory out of this but at least the chances for that look good.  Or decent.  Or possible.  Well at least there are chances, that's more than we've seen for a long time.

They've had to fight the activist legal system, the "deep state," the global elites who don't self-identify as belonging to any nation.  Perhaps this is why these activist judges seem to have been winning recently, as RINOs in Congress start voting against Trump and not pretending otherwise.  They may not even expect this to help them win, just to delay defeat at least long enough to escape.

One thing I'm rightfully worried about is the fight in the legal system.  Trump 2.0 has been going along with the laws and judges so that looks like an easy way to lose.  Then there's the grand jury itself, I don't remotely understand how this works but my impression is that they're citizens who determine if there's a crime or not.  It's all-or-nothing so if the left manages to get enough activists on the jury, everybody will be found not-guilty and that's that.  I'd like some evidence that this won't happen and can't even imagine any way that evidence could be legally shown to the public.

I'd like to say this is Trump's very last chance but he's Trump so saying that is kind of redundant.  Might as well say you're glad Marla Maples has finally freed him from that hussy Ivana.  So it's not something to place a bet on regardless.  But I do think a lot of Trump supporters are very fed-up with the promises that something will happen.  Trump's not getting any younger and this endless delays just make him sound more like a generic politician, which defeats the point.  So get moving.  [Completely irrelevant but I've just noticed that Trump has been married to Melania longer than to Ivana and Marla combined.]

Oh really?  That sounds very optimistic.  What does the rest of Cuba think about this?  For that matter, what do your guards think?  Are they willing to go through what Maduro's guards went through to protect you?  Because I'd say this is an ideal time for any of your staff to start looking for ways to protect themselves, and helping the Americans might be the best way to guarantee that.  I'm getting the impression that the Cuban government is not long for this world and this guy might be the last one to realize that.

□ [“Trump Says Iranian Leaders Have Called Him Begging to Negotiate"]

It's Trump so I'm not sure it's believable.  But for that matter, the mullahs may not know about this either.  Some of their people might be looking for the same escape rout.  I also think that Trump has made the decision to move in.  It may be underway or already happened and we just haven't been informed, but my impression is that the mullahs will be past-tense in a couple days.

Of course the protests are still going although we don't get much definite footage.  The population seems united in standing up against the mullahs but the tyrants have ordered them executed.  Last I heard, they've killed hundreds of protestors.  It's also said that more and more government forces are refusing to take part in that.  Thinking about it, none of their allies seem to be eager to help them.  It's like they know where this is going and don't want to be part of it.

Also a bit of odd timing, France has just removed all non-essential personnel from their embassy in Iran.  No word that anyone else is doing this - although the US has told all Americans to get out - but it is relevant.  France has also started taking moves to leave NATO.  Have they been closer to Iran than we knew?  Otherwise what's going on?

□ [“Minneapolis McDonald’s Goes Viral for 'No ICE Access' Sign"]

Even before reading the article, I was pretty sure McDonalds headquarters would get involved and they would not be siding with whoever posted this.  It's private property sure, but it's also a public business meaning you can't just announce that *those* people aren't permitted here.  You could make the argument that businesses should have that right but that's not what's being done here and it also means you'd have to accept people you like being banned by other businesses.

Since I'm not part of big business, I can't picture all the various problems this causes.  What I do see is that this is something businesses don't seem to have dealt with for a long time, they've all gone the same way in unison.  I would speculate that's the *woke* agenda calling the shots but as I said, I don't know how business works.  There's also the obvious contradiction, just a few years ago they were banning people not vaccinated against covid or wearing stupid masks and nobody was permitted to complain about that.

Whether or not it was really about pushing the *woke* agenda, I think what we're seeing here is businesses refusing to take any part in this.  The Minneapolis McDonalds already has the sign taken down, they were probably told they wouldn't be permitted to be a McDonalds franchise if they kept it up.  This is something that society has been missing for a long time, businesses that know they're supposed to appeal to everyone so they stay out of political nonsense.

Then there's the fact that ICE has existed for over 20 years, they are federal agents with legitimate authority.  Whatever your opinion of them it's just a very stupid idea to automatically oppose them but that's just what the left is doing here.  It's even worse for businesses because they can shut you down for this.  I doubt they could shut down all McDonalds everywhere because of this one outlet but there could be negative ramifications across the board because this one store was stupid.  People who run businesses - or just people who support free enterprise - are willing to think of stuff like this.  Those who are trying to go after ICE are not.

□ [“ICE Resistance Groups Growing, Some Funded by Soros, Linked to Terrorism"]

They've tried this multiple times over years.  They set up an 'autonomous zone' which is magically their own turf.  I first saw this in 2012's 'Occupy Wall Street' which, as far as I know, lasted longer than any of the later attempts.  I'm guessing they're funded by Soros and his ilk because they certainly don't have anything else to do with their lives.  Even if they get actual jobs, they'll ditch it immediately whenever there's a hint of the 'revolution.'  Riots are always the first priority.

I still haven't worked out where these people come from although it is becoming a bit clearer.  For one thing, it's been noted that these protests and last year's are almost entirely made up of middle-aged or old white women.  Maybe they include their pet males, perhaps even their kids, but that's really where all the drive is coming from.  There are some more thuggish males involved in some protests and I'm guessing that's where the Soros-funding is used.  But it's still just a guess.

They're trying to expand out of Minneapolis but I really don't think it's going to work.  Not that they won't get anywhere, there are probably still some big riots in the future, but these old white women just aren't capable of making anything that's big and real.  Don't remember where I heard it but someone pointed out a very good insight, this is what happens when the family is destroyed.  Most of these women don't have kids, those that do, most of them don't have a man and even those with a husband see their marriages as a much-lower priority than things like this.

They're trying to get Civil War 2.0 started.  It's obviously closer now than ever before but I really don't think Minneapolis is enough to make it happen.  As I wrote the above, I also found an article about Greg Gutfeld saying something similar, that these women need an intervention.  The only thing they're really doing is hurting themselves, and their cause if you care about that.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

□ [“'No More Handouts to Thieves!' – USDA Suspends all Federal Financial Rewards to Minnesota"]
□ [“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Announces 'Several Initiatives' to Target Somali Fraud in Minnesota – Creates 'Protocols' for Fraud in Other States"]

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

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

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

□ [“Wisconsin 18-Year-Old Pleads Guilty to Murdering His Mom and Stepdad to Fund His Trump Assassination Plot"]

Couldn't you just call Rob Reiner for help?  This guy belonged to a cult and wanted chaos, doesn't that sound like something the Reiners would be eager to help with?  

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

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

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

□ [“Return of the Shah is Possible As Protests Increase; Russia Reports That Mullahs Might Flee"]

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

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

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

□ [“House Passes 3-Year Extension on Obamacare Subsidies in 230-196 Vote — 17 Republicans Join Dems"]
□ [“Senate Votes 52-47 to Advance Venezuela War Powers Resolution to Limit Trump’s Military Actions"]

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

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

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

□ [“Tim Walz Mobilizes National Guard as Minneapolis Spirals Into Chaos"]

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

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

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

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

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

□ [“‘Authority of a Special Counsel’ Vance Announces New Assistant AG to Investigate Fraud Nationwide"]

Isn't this just doing more of what DOGE did a year ago?  And why did they wait for so long to start doing anything about this?  On one hand, this sounds like an obvious, sensible thing to do.  On the other hand, it just comes of as something that won't be very relevant, will take a long time and isn't going to get anywhere.  Otherwise they'd have done it months ago.

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

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

I scanned the blogs today oh boy

US Seizes Fleeing Sanctioned Tanker Marinera Despite the Presence of Russian Military Vessels and Submarine

□ [“Woman Fatally Shot by ICE in Minneapolis For Attempting to Run Over Agent Identified"]

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

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

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

Biden Admin. Owes Trump a $25 Million Bounty for Capturing Maduro

□ [“Mamdani Boasts Over ‘Briefing’ on Maduro, Then Admits He Doesn’t Have Federal Security Clearance"]

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

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

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

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

□ [“Iranians Are Getting Stronger and Pushing Back Against the Iranian Regime"]

Of course there's no way to know if this is real, we can only hope it's true.  It's probably another reason the left has really really need to pull its stunt in Minneapolis today, trying to claim they have something in common with Iranian protestors.  The delusion never ends with these people.

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

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

□ [“Walz Says Minnesota is at 'War with Our Federal Government' After Fatal ICE-Involved Shooting"]

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

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

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