New book

COLLECTION Pop Culture
A collection of essays on popular culture. The material is organized by subject matter so you can look up everything I had to say about a given work of literature, comic strips, tv shows, movies or the new product from Artificial Intelligence. Each essay is labelled to let you know which of my 40 books it was originally published in.

Hopefully this will be the first collection of material. Comic books, music and the entertainment industry will require their own books so they aren't included here. Then I'll get to history, religion and politics, collections of everything I've covered from 2001 through 2026 and hopefully beyond.

You know you wanted to read this. You didn't? Well read this and find out why.

2 Arrested Outside of White House After Car Crash and Barricade Breach
November 9, 2026

□ [“Trump Now Talking Amnesty and Comprehensive Immigration Reform"]

This isn't the most disappointing result of the last week but that's only because there's so many others to choose from.  This is admitting that he accepts the loss as-is and turning against what he campaigned on two years ago.  Or six years, or ten years.  It's even possible to make this a not-so-bad argument, that he got two years to get rid of the worst, seal the borders, impose that policy on everyone, so now he can make that point with actual reform.  But I'm still not going with it.

Partially it's because he'll be dealing with leftists and they want everything back the way it was with mass invasion.  That's all they'll accept, no exceptions.  The main problem is that Trump is always a negotiator first and the results come in second.  He really likes making a deal.  He has decades of experience and is really good at it but that doesn't matter when the deal itself is horrible and that's what this one is going to be.  The left's not going to accept any deal, they won't comply with whatever agreement is made and they're already going to reverse it as soon as they seize more power.  Ronald Reagan signed a similar deal 40 years and 3 days ago, look how that worked out.

There's also the domino effect, if Trump will cave on this, what else will he cave on?  Maybe he'll give 100% of Muslim immigrants a pass so they can come in and vote Democrat.  Gotta destroy Israel somehow.  And comply with the European Union.  And whoever's in charge of them.  If they can do this to Trump, they can do it to anyone else.

□ [“Senator-Elect Hamilton (D-KS) Just Threw a Big Wrench Into Democrat Revenge Plans"]
□ [“Dem Goal to Abolish ICE Faces One of Their Own as a Big Stumbling Block"]

Most likely they're just telling the peasants lies, trying to show the 'big tent' in charge now.  That said, to the extent the election can be considered 'fair,' or to the extent they want us to believe it was 'fair,' they need to acknowledge that there are actual voters with these views.  They don't want Democrats to go after revenge and persecute anyone they don't like and they do want the invasion to stop, which ICE is required for.  If these guys are serious, they'll be ignored, and most likely they aren't serious.  This is just what they say in public.

It's weird to have to think about this.  They need to acknowledge that people actually think this way - and are right to do so - and that they want their support, even when disagreeing with their own party.  These politicians need to protect their own authority, even against their own party, so they can get more.  They also need to push the narrative that it was the gas prices and Iran, that's why MAGA rushed to vote leftist.  They also need to say they believe in the 'rule of law' even as they oppose or ignore the law to support others who break the law just to be here.  How do you put all that together into a coherent political view?

So even though there's no reason to believe these guys, the problem is still there.  Even if 100% of the voters agreed with Democrats, the problem would still be there, you can't ignore reality and get away with it.  And to the extent we say these elections were totally fair, there's a lot of voters out there who see that too.  'Gas prices bad, illegal immigrants bad too.'  Add that to the demands of each individual Democrat pushing orders for collective obedience and they're just building more problems for themselves without doing anything about those that already exist.  The disasters waiting to happen probably have to get a ticket and stand in line for their turn.

Trump Suggests Mail-in Ballot and Voting Machine Fraud – “Does Anybody Really Believe That This ‘Election’ Was Honest?”
November 9, 2026

□ [“Asked About Midterms, Mitch McConnell Goes Mute, Looks Like a Vegetable"]
□ [“Will Schumer Survive?"]

McConnell is 84, Schumer turns 76 in a couple weeks.  They're both under attack and the midterm results are mostly irrelevant here, especially for McConnell.  He should not be there and that seems mostly unanimous by everybody, so why is he still there?  It's not his decision, we can tell he's not capable of making any.  His political sponsors would be the most likely guess but I'm always skeptical that anyone genuinely wants that anywhere.  Anyone else could earn the same donations and not be so embarrassing.

With Schumer, it's more of a problem because he's actually capable of fighting back and using his decades of experience.  He's also the main target of a purge, younger people who want the power he's holding.  That's normal for leftists and I keep intending to look into Mao's massive purge of the 60s and 70s as how this became official communist strategy.  In general I support the current need to get rid of the old people but I will point out that it's why politics has always been for old men, because they've had years of experience to see patterns that most people won't.  They're also not as capable of physical labor so it's a way to make them useful.

McConnell is out, his replacement is nominally a Republican who won the election.  Schumer has two years before he gets challenged so my guess is he'll comply with the young.  Maybe he has some hidden weapon to impose his will on them but that seems unlikely.  Leftists would use their weapons when they have them so he'd have already ended these problems if he has that.  He'll have to obey if he wants to stay in office.

Massie Files Resolution to Impeach Hegseth – Will Hold Press Conference

□ [“James Gunn is Out as DC Boss After Supergirl Superflop!"]

Not just Supergirl.  Clayface seems to have reached profitability but only because it was so cheap, not because anyone wanted to see it.  Superman barely made any money and no one's looking forward to the sequel.  The tv shows are doing even worse.  All this money wasted and no one cares.

The timing is strange.  When Warner Bros. was purchased by Paramount, all the contracts were frozen but Gunn announced he was extending his contract.  That was just a stupid thing to do, yet there he was.  He's recently been doing a lot of social media texts and interview, going into details on which part of which movie may or may not be relevant to his version of the franchise.  Nobody is going to do that much homework to know what he's talking about, even Gunn fans.  That's not counting the homework you'd need to do on the DC characters themselves.  I know them and I don't care, what is the wide audience expected to do?

Despite his claims, I don't think Gunn had any real plans, he made up whatever he was doing at any given moment.  His last couple weeks had details about how this was all leading up to Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, ignoring that the last few years showed absolutely nothing from two of those characters.  DC didn't need that and it's surprising they went with it for as long as they did.

Because I always make up conspiracy theories, I wonder if this is related to the elections.  Gunn was definitely promoted by the Hollywood cult who keep pushing a leftist revolution so this might be a sacrifice for the cause or it might have been part of the actual target.  It's too vague to even come up with possibilities but I can't deny the possibility.  My interest is primarily in what they'll do with this franchise after how it's been destroyed and what connections these people have to the *woke* agenda.

□ [“The Left Does Not Want Hakeem Jeffries to be Speaker of the House"]

I don't see any reason given.  I've always assumed he was Nancy Pelosi's puppet so that's my only guess.  Either that or his race but the left is really loud about wanting to ditch the 'old guard' and if Nancy's still unofficially in charge, that's enough.  Jeffries needs to look good to the left so he's already rushed out to declare Pete Hegseth guilty of whatever.  We already know they don't need the laws to determine a verdict, they'll do that in reverse order.

They're also going after Stephen Miller, admitting that they don't currently know of any crimes he's committed.  These two are the biggest immediate names but they'll add more, all centering around Trump.  But they'll also find a lot of others, the accusation is all that's needed.  There must be limits to this but none can be seen at the moment.

□ [“Incoming Dem Sen Urges Party Not to Spend Two Years Investigating Trump — Focus on Cost of Living Instead"]

No reason to think he even believes this, he's certainly not going to have any influence with that attitude.  The left will just say they can do both.  Of course there will be internal conflict but there's just nothing to be optimistic about.  About the closest to hope I can see is that they're so desperate to eliminate their opponents that they'll turn on each other any moment.  But even there, you can't make a plan that relies on what your enemies do amongst themselves.  This is not where we were expecting to be a week ago.

□ [“'Hope Now That Democrats Have Won' Migrant Caravan Busts Through Mexican Border to US"]

Now this is something to be scared of.  They're not waiting for Democrats to take over, they're ready now and there's every reason to assume plans are in place.  My mind always goes to bioweapons just because that's the only thing I can think of that would work.  I don't know if the US military is still at the border more than normal but Trump can send them there immediately and I'm sure plans for this were already made.

Maybe the left sees this as a no-lose scenario.  Either we shoot down all the invaders and Democrats use that as a political weapon or they're allowed to come in and things return to 'normal.'  It just doesn't seem like that's the full story here, there must be something else going on.  That's why I keep going back to bio-weapons.  It's not like they need these invaders to bring in drones or nukes.

Not sure why but I assume China is behind this.  You could point to any number of other suspects and they're probably involved but for whatever reason I think this is part of China's overall plan.  The left wants it but they can't really beg for invasion without being obvious, this could happen without them.  It was already set up for the stolen elections so this is a bigger plan than they're really capable of, that's why I immediately thought of China.

□ [“Abdul El-Sayed Launches New PAC After Campaigning to Get Big Money Out of Politics"]

This is why the last week has been so astounding.  They just said these things to gain power and aren't even hiding that's all it was.  It'll be about reinforcing their power and anything else is extraneous.  But their followers either don't bother to notice or just don't care.  It's not that the basic idea is so shocking but how do you set-up your people that way so unanimously without the slightest problem?

Now *maybe* you can argue the left is so deluded by pleasure after the last week - I don't recall them being this big in 2020 - that they just aren't paying attention to any of this.  It makes no sense but they never object to their own people getting rich so there's precedent.  The whole point is to destroy everything so they don't care what the rules are anyway.  And maybe their leaders don't have any higher goals either, they're just going for what they can get right away.

Everything about this seems guaranteed to fail once you get beyond the immediate lust for power but there's nothing to point to.  They stole the elections in a way that means the right-wing has no clue who to trust on their own side.  The globalist elite paid to get the best plans available by people who knew what they were doing.  I'd really really like to believe that Trump and Hegseth are prepared for this but, well, I do remember that from 2020 and it didn't work out well.

□ [“U.S. Strikes Iran’s Air Defenses as Tehran Seeks Russian Weapons"]

I don't think the Iran war made as big of a deal for the elections as others do but it didn't help.  This is where Trump should have been providing real leadership.  He set an example with Venezuela at the beginning of the year and maybe we shouldn't have expected a similar effect here but we had an excuse to think so.  Trump didn't help by constantly insisting it was almost over.

We don't hear much about it and it's not even clear what's happening, who's involved or what the point is.  After the effects of the last week, it's not even clear if we can believe our own memories or records.  Maybe that's just the effect of going up against Persia, or the leftist infiltration of society, or evil demons.  Maybe we're just taking too many drugs, who knows?  At some level it's not clear who's hallucinating or what is actually real.  Which isn't intrinsically different from being in a real warzone.

As much as I criticize the Trump administration for not being straightforward on this stuff, giving us full info on this war and pretty much everything else going on, there's also a sense that anything they say could be too much in the wrong direction.  More than just giving information to the wrong people, there's giving direction, inspiration, orders, and it's not clear who is receiving what.  The best we can hope for is that the mullahs, China, the left, everyone else is in the same predicament.  Everything that's not infinite has to come to an end.  So what about this conflict?

□ [“Texas Democrat Vows Taxpayer Voucher Money for Islamic Schools, Including One Funded by Iran-Linked Bank"]
□ [“Somali Daycare Owner Tied to Fraud Wins Minnesota House Race"]

I've speculated on various forms of voter fraud which stole the elections.  I also suspect that all these forms were used in various ways over the whole country but that there was probably a mastermind behind it.  The Muslim community would be the most-likely candidate for that mastermind.  It's quite possible Iran was the one in charge but there's also a good chance that they had no clue what was being done.  Maybe they funded it, maybe the funding was just laundered through the international economy, Ukraine or their BRICS allies Russia and China, maybe the recipients were completely unrelated to Iran, there's vast number of possibilities.  Russia and China would have their own plans too.

That's not including the fact that most of us, myself included, have no clue how the Muslim world interacts.  They're very tribal and ethnic, they do not permit outsiders to join, but they're also capable of setting that aside and not just as a normal part of doing business.  Every Muslim spends their life aspiring to the hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca, regardless of their origins.  Malcom X's autobiography comments on how many white people he prayed with when he made the hajj and that was over sixty years ago.

So they have those connections and can make plans accordingly.  I'm sure the government and the military is aware of this and can fight back but it's very difficult to comprehend.  It's easy to make a theory that this was part of the plan post-9/11, to set up the left as being tied to the invading Muslims, i.e. helping Obama defeat Hillary and win office.  Eight years of building up, then Hillary is defeated again.  This makes the left go insane (insane-er?) so now they are totally a tool of Muslims who can use the infidel as required to accomplish the mission.

My main objection to my theory is that there's no endpoint, at least not so far.  Nothing that encourages us to actually fight back.  We already see that problem in Europe and how are those protests going nowadays?  Things like this make me worry that Trump is actually on their side, in at least one public statement he did praise "Allah."  This just gets more intimidating the more I think about it, and that's the best tactic the enemy has against us.

□ [“Britain and France Prepare Thousands of Troops for Possible Ukraine Peacekeeping Mission"]

Great, more attempts to get the war started.  Eleven nations are getting together for 'training' in Poland, a convenient opportunity to attack Russia or trick them into attacking.  Just a few days ago there was attention on the coup going on in Poland and now this?  The military makes plans well in advance so that suggests this was deliberately planned.  Gee, nothing suspicious about the timing.

This is the globalists going after Russia, which seems to happen every century.  Even spookier, it's not hard to suspect Russia is actually behind this.  Recently people have been pointing to Bill Clinton's promise thirty years ago to defend Ukraine as long as they gave up their nukes.  That argument ends quickly because Clinton never bothered to get that promise approved so it's on him to pick up a gun and head out to the front to support Ukraine.  Well, he's rich, he can pay people to do it for him, but you get my point.

But I've also been wondering if this was part of the globalist agenda all along.  Clinton and his people had a big opportunity to grab as much as they could after the Cold War end.  That would get them in place to promote themselves, especially with Ukraine able to launder money.  Those who wanted to rule the European Union would also be involved and their successors grew up knowing nothing else, so now the next generation wants to fight for it.  At least they still have nukes.

There's also the need to get Eastern Europe to comply with invaders, i.e. immigrants.  That will be tough, they have a few thousand years dealing with that from all sides.  There are many operations underway, also from all sides, so I assume this is going to get real bad real quickly.  The training exercise runs from November 9 to 22 so get ready.

Justice Department Drops California Lawsuit Against 20,000 Ballots Mailed to Non-Citizens

□ [“Kathy Hochul and Letitia James Order NY Counties to Sever ICE by Nov. 25 or Face Action"]

Every day there's more evidence that they had this planned, they knew the elections would be stolen and were ready to move immediately.  They're threatening their counties to obey the state against the federal government or be punished.  Even without the SDNW, wouldn't you be willing to bet that they've got all the judges ready to rule against Trump?

This will probably be happening in all 50 states.  If they had the election theft planned, they've already worked out how to handle it.  Which states will easily comply, which ones do you need to push blacks into the streets, which ones need the trans agenda, etc.  They'll also have foreign allies providing as much as help as possible.  They self-identify as globalists so of course they'll help destroy the US.

It might be interesting to see how the legal challenges go but it's depressing.  This is what leftism is about so unless something big changes, there's no reason to doubt the outcome.  It's more likely that the power-aspiring left will turn against each other than that the courts will overrule them and be listened to.  And maybe that's the Trump administration's goal, he's already told the DOJ to fight back against their attacks, but it's not worth looking into.  This is among the global elites and judiciary.  They're the 'new world order' and don't need to listen to any puny federal government, much less states or counties.

□ [“Algorithmic Pattern on How Dems 'Stole' the Election Similar to the 2020 'Drop and Roll' Pattern"]

At least people are looking into this.  The problem is there's multiple contradictory points, good and bad.  It's proving that these elections were stolen *but* it's so vague that there's no reason for anyone to believe it *but* it can be conveniently summarized as 'they stole 15% in every single election' *but* that's still impossible to believe if you aren't already moving in that direction *but* it gives us something to unify around *but* that's like a cult.  It really does put us into a situation where 'you're either on our side or with the liberals.'

And like everything else, there's no solid answer for any question.  How did they do all this and get away with it?  I was about as confident as I could possibly be that the administration had put in all the safeguards to prevent the theft and didn't hear about any other possible options the left could still use.  I was fully aware that I had a similar opinion to 2020 and look how that worked out.  Well, here we are.

In 2020, they suddenly brought in all these ballots in the later hours.  An obvious scam but the Covid era was in full swing and at least it was understandable that they could get away with it in that moment.  This time there was no such option and Trump 2.0 appeared to have been doing a lot to prevent anything else.  And yet the vote tallies unanimously gave 15% to every Democrat candidate.  How do you do that?

At this point, I'm not even certain that they were able to do that.  The point of a secret ballot is we didn't know who voted for what so there's no way to know who, specifically, was officially putting in all these anti-Trump votes.  I can come up with ways to prevent that with paper ballots but I only just started thinking about this on my own and these people have many years of experience.

□ [“Secretary of War Pete Hegseth Tweets Out Cryptic Message to Trump Supporters"]

"Patriots in charge."

I'm ambivalent on what this means or if it's even relevant.  More people are already saying this was a complete fraud.  Somehow everybody ran over to the left everywhere, no matter what.  That's just not possible but at least the left believes it.  Well why not, it's worked for them so far.

There's still no direction which, presumably, is why Hegseth posted this.  The problem is that there's no specifics.  I'd like to think they had prepared for this and are still following through.  I had the same impressions after the initial elections in Iraq went for extreme Muslims.  I still have no evidence I was right but I was in one of the military units handling those elections, and the follow-ups after Iraqis realized they didn't want anything like that and Muqtada al-Sadr was driven out.  He did come back later but has been much more restrained, my point is that we learned tactics we could use elsewhere across multiple election cycles.

I hope that's what Hegseth is referring to here but of course there's no way to know.  He might just mean that they're still in charge for the next couple months.  Maybe he's just trying to be optimistic about things.  Maybe this is about whatever fights he's having against Trump and/or the left.  We don't know and there's no direction here.

So effectively this is meaningless.  If it works out, great, hope to live that long, but we need more to go on.  I'm encouraged by people realizing the election was a fraud but we still don't know how, collectively, we'll deal with that.  The left is definitely hoping for another "January 6" as an excuse to put everybody in concentration camps.  They have plans too and don't expect any of us to have guns.  Then again, they also insisted Trump would cancel the election and don't even notice the contradiction.

The other problem is that even Trump 2.0 has a lot of promises made that still haven't happened.  Gas prices, Iran, nobody is punished for supporting Epstein or P. Diddy.  We really have no basis to believe anything else coming out, especially after this mess.  We need patriots who will actually do something and I don't know where we'll find them because Civil War 2.0 is here.

□ [“'Fire Him Today' Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Democrats Lose it as Stephen Miller Becomes Chief of Staff"]

Trump's chief of staff left today.  I have no idea if this had been announced before, the guy replacing her, I've heard of him but have no idea why.  Nothing he's said or done comes to mind and I haven't bothered to look it up.  I'm not sure it matters, they'll attack anybody.  I have no idea what a "chief of staff" actually does but that's more of a complaint about the government and executive branch being so enormous.

But Democrats are all available to rush out and say the same things because that's how diverse they are.  It's also a sign that they don't have anything better to do, no real jobs to focus on.  But they're also going to push for investigations, impeachments, any punishment they can impose and it's not like they need to stick to reality.  But it's gotten them this far so why not?  Stolen or not, they did with the election.

This won't be fun, especially because from the public perspective, it's just the executive branch usually losing.  More will leave and there's no way to know who were actually good.  Then there's the need for congressional approval of replacements and it's probably more than just the cabinet.  A whole lot of government infighting will be going on and we'll only see the bad stuff.  I can tell I'm going to spend the next two years complaining about Trump, "he was supposed to have prevented this from happening."

In addition to the complaints in unison, the Democrats are also showing off their return to being *woke.*  Not just in pushing the agenda, that'll come soon, but how they've rushed to show how wimpy they really are.  One Dem Rep went on tv and talked about how Miller was "Darth Vader" and made him want to cry for a half-hour.  Seriously?  How is it possible for these people to be in a position to win anything, much less everything?

The new masters are already demonstrating that the election was fake.  This guy supposedly won an election big-time, that's a sign that he knows what his citizens want.  But they also voted to keep boys out of girls sports and he's not going to go along with that.  This is not someone who has to worry about getting votes.

They also show they don't worry about obeying the law.  There will be conflict with the federal government and judges although I won't be optimistic about how that will turn out.  But they're also going to deal with the reaction, their laws can be ignored just as easily and that especially applies to their side.  The left will immediately rush to ditching anything they don't like, never considering what it was built on.

We'll still need to look into just how this election was stolen.  In Texas, it might have been illegal immigrants going in to vote Democrat but I just can't imagine that was the case everywhere.  Perhaps the computers were hacked, perhaps the physical votes were altered, perhaps there were a lot of people, illegal immigrant or otherwise, who were registered as Republican so they could get in but then filled out the ballot for Democrats.  I suspect it was probably all of these options, especially with the way they carried out right-wing votes, as with the Colorado anti-trans issue.  Or maybe some larger power was overseeing all of it.

Things like this support the theory that the elections were stolen.  Supposedly everybody was rushing to become leftist because Orange Man Bad but actual right-wing goals on the ballot still won.  Nobody even noticed the contradiction, 'I want X to happen so I'll vote for it, and also for a politician who opposes X'?  Doesn't seem likely.

□ [“Transgender Man Flips Alabama State House Seat in District Where Trump Won 3 Times"]

"I hate gas prices so I'm going to vote for the transgender abortion"?  That's just not likely.  Republicans might have sat the election out, totally understandable, but they wouldn't do a complete 180 and vote for people who openly want to destroy us.  That's why we need to look at the voter tallies in these districts where they still voted for right-wing issues like voter ID and/or blatant leftist like this.  That's where we'll find the vote fraud.  Either that or evidence that a percentage of voters really do just go for whatever they're told and it seems to bounce back and forth over election cycles.  Two years ago they opposed the trans agenda, now they support it, in two years they'll oppose it again.  I don't know how likely that is because it seems really depressing but it's at least a possibility.

□ [“Multiple People Injured in Shooting at Des Moines Post Office"]

I've seen news of one or two other events like this in the last day or so.  If the elections had gone the way they should, I'd just write it off as leftists being insane as we've seen for the last couple years.  But given what we're in for, I expect the media to start insisting these are all MAGA refusing to accept the election.  They're trying to set up another fake event like "January 6."

As always, going on strike is a much better option because it's harder for the left to realize what's going on.  If there really are voters who just blow with the wind, these shooters might have been MAGA for a while.  Or just insane people.  Or a set-up by our masters who need to reinforce their control over us.  They'll also have another excuse to ban guns, which wasn't relevant on January 6.  This is why I will keep blaming Trump, regardless of what nice things I say about him.  He was supposed to have prevented the left having these opportunities.  Or at least he could have directly pointed out what they'll do.

To the extent there's any benefit from this election, we'll get to see the left immediately start purging its own.  Schumer's trying to laugh how he led the party to victory, basically ignoring the DSA right before him.  He has the experience to stay as the leader, they have the momentum to get rid of him.  If Schumer wins, they'll keep trying to undermine him.  If DSA wins, everyone else can be a target.  We saw this in Iran fifty years ago.

One thing both sides can agree on is that they want revenge on everyone else for denying them power for so long.  They're already talking about impeaching Hegseth as War Secretary and he'll only be the first.  Other leftists want to put Elon Musk in jail because they don't need to name any actual crimes.  I think they're deliberately not going after Trump himself, not yet anyway, although that's certainly on the list.

A lot of this in-fighting will be handled by January although I don't know how it'll work out.  We don't know how much the left will know or care about it.  There's also a major Muslim influence with Ilhan Omar and El-Sayed easily winning election.  I've been watching this for over twenty years and the military members I served with have even more experience there, it's why I keep saying this was actually part of Trump's plan.  But there's still the point that he was supposed to have prevented this.  From Iran to London, we've been watching this happen in real time, why aren't the freedom fighters broadcasting this everywhere?  Instead we're just watching Democrats argue about who's in charge.

So now the *woke* movement is back, like it never left.  They're going to double down, making 2021 look straight hetero by comparison.  They are not going to tolerate dissent although it might take a little while to figure out exactly how to put that into law and enforcement.  If you can murder children and lie about rape, what *can't* you get away with?

This is where it's going to come out whether or not these elections were really stolen.  I assume they were but either way, who voted for this?  Who was so offended by gas prices that they need marriage to just be a legal group of people where anyone can come and go, you know, like an established business?  Rich leftists want that but they'd be part of stealing the elections.  Who else would want it?

It's also why I think the Muslim factor is very relevant, whether or not Iran was behind it.  One reason they've sided with leftists is how easy they are to manipulate but another reason is precisely to let them show this insanity and drive people away.  They've taken down the other religious options so Islam becomes the last defense against this.  The left still has their demon-worshipping cult so they don't even know they've been set-up until it's too late.  Which, if you think about it, is the way the demons like it.  Forever.

□ [“Axios:  Trump Teeing Up Hegseth As Scapegoat - Trump Denies"]

This is another problem of Trump's own making.  Mostly the media thinks that it decides what's happening so of course they want to tear down Trump's cabinet and Hegeseth is the most immediate target.  But there are reasons to see this as a real possibility.  Hegseth and Trump have already spoken out that this won't happen but that's just a public statement, no reason to believe it.

I don't remotely think Iran was as much of an issue as we're expected to believe.  It was relevant and it did effect gas prices but there's a limit to how big of a deal either of these are when we're facing the left and their Muslim allies.  A more coherent argument is that the Iran war just doesn't end, which I've been complaining about for months.  We aren't putting troops on the ground and we do expect Iranians to actually overthrow the mullahs so that will take time.  The removal of Maduro from Venezuela at the beginning of the year was for more relevant, it was over before we knew it had started.  Why can't we do that again?

I think Hegseth is the first target precisely because our new masters want to defend Iran.  This ignores the basic military premise of how easy the leadership is to replace but it's still a problem for Trump.  If he sticks with the guy, it looks bad and if he ditches the guy, Congress will refuse to replace him.  Hegseth will follow orders and do what's best for the mission but it's not easy for him either so he may decide to bail out.  This issue will come up with other cabinet member and I assume if it wasn't Hegseth, Marco Rubio would be the one targeted first.  That'll happen soon enough.

I hope Hegseth did as much as he could to reorganize the military against the *woke* agenda.  We know the left will demand that immediately and it's not clear how relevant Congress is to this.  They might be able to pass laws and even get past Trump's veto but there's still enormous resistance from the military and the Commander-in-Chief.  That's why I assume Iran is the main reason they're doing this immediately, otherwise they'd just let it go on the way GWB continued for his last two years.  They were already aiming for Hillary to take over and look how that worked out.

Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that maybe it's possible that I've been not-entirely correct about something at some point in my life. So what?

This was not what I expected.  Even if Republicans lost, which is typical results for the mid-terms, I did not think it would be this big of a loss.  I don't think the final results have come out yet but its possible Congress will be able to override his vetoes so "I have a phone and a pen" won't work as a defense.  They'll be constantly attacking him anyway so he doesn't have a lot of options.  It's like we're back in October 2024 where the left was confident they'd stay in power forever, or 2016 when Hillary was inevitable.  They're still here.

I'm convinced the elections were stolen, there's no way those Democrat candidates could win over large numbers of people.  Even worse is that reportedly it was a lot of Republicans voting for them.  If that's actually true, they'd have to be mindless puppets, there's just no other way it could work.  Sitting out the election is one thing but going for the 'pro-trans, pro-abortion, open borders, high taxes' candidates because Trump is a bit annoying?  That's not what a rational person would do, another reason I suspect the votes were changed to all read pro-Dem.

Like him or not, Trump insisted on being at the center of everything so that means he gets the blame for the results.  Which of course he isn't accepting, another reason he's already moving into the 'past tense.'  We saw this with Obama in 2016 and GWB after the 2006 mid-terms.  That doesn't detract from what Trump has accomplished and it is remotely possible that there's still some plan underway but for the time being, we need to start detaching from him.  If he has more accomplishments, great, he'll deserve full credit, but he was supposed to prevent this from happening.

I've barely looked at any social media, I really don't want to put up with the left at this point.  In just the last two years, they've proven how insane they are and now they're back like nothing has changed, except that they want revenge.  That's not counting the four years before that, or the four years of Trump 1.0, or the eight years of Obama, or the eight years of fighting GWB, or the eight years of being set up by Clinton, and that's just covering my adult life.  The more you prove that voters deliberately chose to keep going this direction despite voting for Trump two years ago, the less they look like sensible human beings.

So now I'm going back to just saying we need to go on strike.  Get back-up food and supplies, make connection with others of like minds.  I'm not writing Trump off, he's demonstrated too much ability to just be ignored, but it's probably best to act like he's off the table now.  I only see two possible options, both are similar.  One is that Iran was behind these election results and he's actually set up a trap for them, or for the globalist leftist elites.  Probably not but we should get used to dealing with fantasy.  Our new rulers will require it.  Trump has never made Democrats tired of winning.

□ [“Trump admits Iran war hurt Republicans but stands by it"]

This is one of those things that makes me think the elections were indeed stolen and probably with as much help as Iran could offer.  The gas prices didn't help but they were just as bad under Biden and didn't hurt him.  He wasn't even facing a long-standing American enemy.  You can argue that Trump shouldn't have gotten into this but somebody had to and he deserves credit for this.  I don't think it hurt the elections much, especially given the alternative was leftists who support the mullahs anyway.

The good move was that we don't have troops on the ground, the regime is being strangled and there wasn't even news about it.  The cost in gas prices didn't make everything else skyrocket in price so the whole was was as minimal as possible on our side.  The down side is that Muslims know how to hold out despite great pressure.  Even worse, now they know leftist supporters will soon take power so they have less to worry about.  Trump can still do what Bill Clinton did with Bosnia and Obama did with Libya and Syria but will that really matter?

As to Iran helping the election theft, I believe it but there's no evidence.  I've heard one report of "guards" at Michigan voting sites telling people 'if you aren't voting for El-Sayed, don't bother coming in.'  It's believable but even if it's true, I'm not sure anything will be done with that.  Iran has long understood how to influence the Muslim world and, by extension, the infidel.  They haven't won and their regime may soon be gone but the threat is worse than ever.

□ [“Senate Majority Leader John Thune Releases Self-Congratulatory Statement After Midterms"]

It's said that this has been one of the least-productive congresses of all time so of course he rushes out to take credit for that and vow to keep fighting leftists.  The ones that will be taking power because he didn't stop them before.  I don't really know if the SAVE America act was that big a deal but he certainly did what he could to keep from passing that.  He even sent individual Senators in during vacations to make sure it wasn't officially 'out of session' so Trump couldn't make any appointments without them.  But *now* he's ready to fight.

I still don't think a lot of Republicans were voting to give Democrats power but if there were, this is who those RINOs really are.  January is his 30th anniversary in Congress, over twenty years in the Senate, and this is the high-point of his career, doing nothing as much as possible and then stopping Trump whenever he can.  Thune isn't the real problem, it's everyone like him, as voters or as politicians.

If there's a bright side to this election and that shows how low I need to get to find anything, it helps to expose these people as the 'controlled opposition' they are.  They might be relevant as useful idiots but otherwise must be ignored as much as possible.  This is why I keep saying we need to just go on strike to remove these people from our lives.  They'll play their games but we don't need to take part.  Now we have to find out how many people will actually trust these election results.

SWAT Responds to Active Shooter at Citi Bank Corporate Campus Near Tampa, Gunman Down

I'm trying to see what conspiracy theories I can come up with to explain that this wasn't *really* a massive failure.  It's actually part of the long-range plan Trump 2.0 has been implementing and now the left is caught in the final trap.  This obviously isn't going to get very far but gimme a break, I have to find some way to cope with what we're up against.  I'm sure I'll give up on that soon since little-if-any of it will come to pass.

The first possibility that occurs to me is the leftist infighting.  Normally they're good at holding back on that, at least until they've actually seized power.  And then it's usually hidden behind closed doors so they all look like a uniform elite telling us what's best.  But Democrats have done that badly for the last two years and now with goal right in front of them, they may not be able to hold back any longer.  They've openly advocated for purges and prison camps, it would be very easy to add fellow-Democrats who disagree to that list.

They also need to come up with excuses to punish anyone who disagrees.  I assume there will be a sequel to their 'January 6' skit, pretending to be Republicans who are pretending to be violent because they pretend to not comply with election results.  Dems have been living on that as the most horrific moment of their lives, even though a dozen men with guns could have done much more damage in much less time.  So they'll need to fake that again, giving them more reasons to fall apart as a group and expose their power-lust to the public.

They'll also need foreign help.  This will lead to more internal conflict - if China disagrees with the EU or the UN - but it will also mean they aren't making any actual decisions.  My theory is that Iran is the leader on these stolen elections but it doesn't actually help them in the war.  If the Iranian people rise up tomorrow, Democrats lose the source of their leadership and everyone else has to find a way to make-do, leading to more conflict.  They'll need to stay tied to foreign influence because otherwise they'd look at what's going on and start asking 'why are we trying to destroy what we're in charge of?'

Then there's my theory that our elites are all part of a demon-worshipping cult.  If they were born rich and famous, that's all they've known throughout their lives and if they started poor and became rich, that cult is how they got there.  I think that's what Trump has been fighting in both administrations and I suspect he knows that.  I'll leave out any conspiracy theory that he's been part of the cult all along - that would be even more depressing - which leads me to wonder if he's actually taken over, at least in some relevant ways.

The main example is how China and Russia have not been fighting him as you'd expect.  At least in public, their opposition has been minimal even when he causes damage to what BRICS is trying to do.  Then there's the way the US and European left has just gone bonkers, like they can't understand what orders they're given but need to do something, no matter how stupid.  So, based on this theory, if Trump has actually achieved control over the cult - and I'll just say he's setting it up for destruction because the alternative is still depressing - then these newly-elected Democrats might be very surprised by what they see as they prepare to enter office.

There might be a sudden wave of resignations and suicides.  Or just rushing out to tell the public everything because what else could they do?  They scream what they just learned about the Epstein files, that everything they've heard about Trump was fake.  Someone just did a 'control F' to put his name over Michelle Obama and Nancy Pelosi.  The truth is right there, everybody who had seen it was fine with that.  Then the new Democrats have to be taken away as insane or a lot more people start asking WTF?

Again, I'm not expecting any of these theories to come to pass but I do suspect there's something in the way of truth to them.  That's why I've been thinking about this stuff for so long.  I like to tell myself either I'm right or even if I'm wrong, it'll push others in the right direction.  It helps get me through the night and we're going to need a lot of reasons to keep getting through the night.
