This is a clip from three months ago, he barely speaks English and can't answer any questions.  Obviously this would make him a failure in any fair election but it would have been noticed three months ago.  Or when he tried to be the candidate in the first place.  But it worked so far so we'll just assume the election is already fixed, he'll win without a problem.  But we'll need a translator to know if he agrees.

I'm more curious how it's yet-another Somali.  They've been making a lot more noise than you'd expect, especially since they aren't that big of a population.  We don't hear about Vietnamese everywhere running for office and being so stupid about it.  There's also the fact that this is from Minnesota, did we just take the term 'New Somalia' as a given?

A couple weeks ago there was an attack in France that took out a lot of food supplies, now it's hitting Belgium, Sweden, Ireland, Estonia and the Netherlands.  The most obvious response, which I've already seen multiple times just in the comments section here, comes down to 'why the f*ck would you have a freezer hooked up to the internet?'  I can see a government need for control but that's about it.  No one buys household appliance based on its online connections and companies who advertise that probably sell less than other companies.

Just a note but I think we're all getting quite tired of the internet being used everywhere.  Refrigerators are bad enough, there's just the way our cellphones take up too much attention.  We haven't even learned yet how bad that is for children to grow up staring at the screen for everything.  This isn't just the old joke about how the Breakfast Club can't be remade because the kids would just spend the whole day on their phones, it's part of everything we do and that needs to stop.

Anyway, my immediate response to this news about European freezers wasn't about that, it was realizing that this is why the governments recently put out that people need to get a few days of back-up supplies.  There's no clue who these hackers are or who they work for but that's a huge danger hanging over everyone with internet access.  And this is just the food supply, they could also hit medical care, logistics, the electric grid or (looks up Superman 3) traffic lights.

□ [“Disney Star Wars Episode X Is a Romance Movie Gamble"]

I was going to say this doesn't sound like a fundamentally bad idea but that's because I was mistaking it with what's reported from next year's movie.  Smuggling a male and female across the galaxy which becomes a romance, that's basically fine.  Of course we already saw that in Empire Strikes Back but it's not that big of a deal.  Now that I think about it, wasn't that the basic plot for one of the recent tv shows?

If true, this is about trying to appeal to female viewers because they want romance.  I also think they're still trying to build this to Rey.  That's another reason I mistook it for next year's movie - whose name I can't even recall, that's how much we're looking forward to it - because I'm certain it will end with her.  Disney really wants this to promote *woke* and still don't object to all the previous failures.  It's not their money being wasted, it's the investors.

I'm still fascinated at how Disney has destroyed this franchise.  You'd think that would be a lot harder yet here it is, five movies and however-many tv shows later.  Three of those movies were even successful but now there's nowhere to go.  Hearing the details for this possible movie demonstrates that they really have no clue what makes an Intellectual Property.  If this would be a good idea without the Star Wars logo then why do you need the logo?  And the reverse, does the franchise really need this to survive?

With this franchise, Marvel and the others, I'm still trying to figure out if the main goal was to promote the *woke* agenda or just to destroy what already existed.  I'm sure they wanted to do both but there still needs to be a priority.  They would assume the replacements will be much more successful than the old white male creations ever were but do they come from within the established franchises or are they just new creations by the new population who are no longer distracted by the old?  They're already promoting the romance which shows they don't recognize the fundamental flaws in their own goal.  Females still like fictional romance, you can't take that away but we didn't see any of that in the original Star Wars and it was still a huge hit.  Might be something to learn from before it's too late.

I didn't bother to watch it, I just looked at the transcript and it seems very calculated, probably written by lawyers.  It's quite apologetic and claims that everyone should be treated with dignity.  She does not explain why she herself decided to not do that even though an added post cites John 8:7-11, ‘let him who is without sin cast the first stone.’  Didn't you cast the first stone?

This was most-likely a requirement by her parents and their lawyers.  Either she apologizes right now or she pays for her own college and debt.  Her parents are wealthy immigrants from Brazil and Spain (mom and dad respectively), they probably don't want the government looking in on this.  Her dad's a lawyer.  The girl majors in "international relations and diplomacy" but this was an odd way to show that.  Doesn't sound like anyone would want to hire her if that's how she handles things.

So there's already enough of a reason to push back at her.  I'm pretty sure that there are also a lot of people who immediately look into people's backgrounds and families when events like this happen.  After the Kirk murder, enough were fed up with this and are looking to retaliate.  But also I think that the last year or so has pushed the collective female conscience to step back and start expecting some decency.  At some point even feminists realize they can't justify tolerating these people and need to start policing their own kind.  There's the Kirk murder.  It also might just be Al Gore-ithms but I've noticed a lot more female names attacking Lucy Craig and Lindsay Clancy.  Then chicks like this come along and you just want to smack them and say 'stop that.'  We'll see what happens with the female Democrat being attacked by Muslim men and their supporters in Minnesota but the tide is turning.

Doesn't look like much news today, this was getting most of the attention.  Stevens is in Congress but has apparently been having problems with El-Sayed so she endorsed the Republican.  Naturally the party lashed out with a purge.  They didn't hold out, they just did it without hesitation.  Like they expected loyalty from a woman.

But there are more problems.  I'm still looking into this so my impression is spontaneous but she was running for Senate and El-Sayed beat her in the primary.  It's not clear but seems unlikely that she'd keep her House spot as a back-up.  So it depends on what goodwill she has from her supporters and who will ditch her on the spot.  Her staff has already done that.  Maybe they were shills installed in her office by the party but she obviously didn't win enough of their loyalty.

As a Muslim, El-Sayed knows how to keep a woman obedient but as a leftist, it's difficult to admit that.  Then there's the way the party immediately ditched a woman who'd been there since 2019.  They've voluntarily tied themselves to El-Sayed and have to pray they're capable of stealing enough votes this week to carry it off.  But at least now they have a woman to blame if they fail, otherwise they'd need to accept responsibility.

No that is not "normal."  It's not one person counting ten million votes and there's new fancy devices called "computers" that can help count.  What they're admitting is that they'll sneak in as many fake votes as possible.  They'll also look for ways to use the computers which is why paper ballots should be required.  That's just how they roll.

□ [“DOJ Puts All 50 States on Notice:  Preserve Every Ballot and Voting Record or Face a Year in Prison"]

No reason to be optimistic but the DOJ probably has more authority in this matter than PBS, or even people who take PBS seriously.  This is probably where they'll use all the drones and spyware they can get.  You can make a rational point that they shouldn't be doing this either, nobody should, and there's no good argument against that.  We wouldn't trust it if Democrats did that, why should we trust this?  But we're stuck with it so here we go.  I hope they were able to purge the 'deep state' as much as possible.  We'll see what foreign enemies can do about things.

I still think the results aren't going to be trusted by many people on either side.  Even worse, there might not be a massive win for either side.  If Congress winds up being roughly 50-50 again, that would just come off as totally hopeless.  This is why I'm still irritated at Trump no matter what else he's done, there's almost never any really big wins.  It's been almost six years of Trump in charge, a showman like him should know full-well that we need something at this point.  Right there is enough incentive for people to not bother voting.

That said, he has been barnstorming way more than any Democrat could dream of.  Kamala Harris and Barack Obama aren't hitting rally after rally to win people over and nobody even asks why Joe Biden isn't helping out.  We're definitely ready to turn a corner here and can only hope that the results are better than we expected.

The reporter was female and her attacker was female, looks Asian, has a nose ring.  The Facebook poster, I really can't tell.  Possibly Asian, probably male but just looks like a psycho.  For convenience I'll say "he," he also has a history of violent threats against people he doesn't like.  That's today's Democratic Party.

They really are trying to get violence started.  Michigan might be where they want it to happen, perhaps that's why El-Sayed is so important.  Or this might be a distraction and they're trying to start it elsewhere, or everywhere.  These are the lunatics who believe they're a large majority and that they're capable of overpowering rational armed men.

I think the odds are that we'll win the elections, possibly even with a large victory.  There's also the chance we will have a large loss.  If the former, I think most Democrats will realize they need to pull back because these idiots will be out on a rampage.  If the latter, they'll probably still be on a rampage but Democrats will totally support that against us.  I think the violence will happen but it's not clear how much there will be.  It'll also be mostly contained to places with large Democrat populations.  These people aren't really up for deploying to get into a fight, especially not when the other side has a gun.

And this comes out just after they announce the extra protection for Mar-a-Lago from just this sort of attack.  What an amazing coincidence.  Naturally everyone proclaims that it's just an accident, nothing suspicious about that.  They've even released the audio of the pilots right before the crash.  Good thing no one's capable of faking audio.  Maybe we can just blame the female co-pilot, probably hired for 'diversity.'

I will just assume this was enemy action.  Even if the audio is real - I've read the transcript but not listened to the audio - I'll assume this was something planned for and taken down by the Mar-a-Lago defensive system.  We're always told there are weapons being used which normal people couldn't even conceive of, just assume this counts as one of them.  With timing like this, there's simply no way to consider it a standard accident.

The death-worship of the left means they're going to keep going after Trump.  Just going through social media it's easy to see that.  There's the need for violence, there's pleading foreign enemies to help.  This sure looks like a way to celebrate 9/11 if you're into that.  The defense needs to be successful every time, the enemy only needs to succeed once.

It's one of those things that you kinda expect to happen, that's the job of the POTUS.  I keep pointing out that the Secret Service and military have to this stuff which is why the new White House ballroom is such a big deal.  There's a lot of tension these days so they need to protect Mar-a-Lago and the Trump airport.  I'm guessing Trump is there now unless he's still campaigning.

They're also controlling the airspace and it's pointed out that it takes a few minutes for a plane to take off but the drones can be right there.  That's a neat trick.  Iran is being considered the main threat right now but obviously there's a lot more out there so they need to be ready.  A lot of people are going through evil prayers tonight because they believe they can't function if Orange Man is still alive.  They're probably willing to sell their souls for any chance they get.

I'm also wondering how much of this is based on the midterms and how much of that is just coincidental timing.  Trump 2.0 is certainly more prepared for what's happening than he was in the first term and have cut off a lot of enemy activity.  The left is not used to being in this position and are quite desperate at this point.  Soon cold weather will be here and it'll cost a lot more money to send out protestors.

Haven't heard about these for a while so I wasn't sure if they were still going on.  I assumed they were, the left is desperate to take over.  I've heard it rumored a few times that it was the left that started these riots, claiming to be student protests, but they didn't really go anywhere until the Muslims joined in.  That's certainly believable, even likely, but I'm just not sure that's true.  I guess my main objection is that both sides would have been ready to get going.  There's also the way that resembles the Iranian revolution.  I don't know how that revolution got started although that's certainly how it was carried out and of course we know how it ended.

If Iran could push for these riots, they would, but I'm not sure they're able to do that.  There's also the fact they're happening elsewhere in Europe, or at least they were until recently.  I've also noticed Britain and other countries are putting out messages to their citizens, get back-up supplies now because you're going to need them.  Definitely not a good sign.

Something is expected to happen soon.  In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders just posted video of business owners in the Hague barring up their businesses and windows in preparation.  At least there's some advance notice but what are they expecting?  If nothing else, it's almost winter and burning down buildings won't keep you warm for long.

I'm guessing the elites are also involved, going after national governments.  People will be very detached from their own politicians for doing nothing about the riots, or even supporting them.  There's also a number of government scandals.  I haven't looked into it yet but Poland is undergoing an attempted coup and I'm betting more of those will start happening.

□ [“Rep. Jim Hines (D-CT) Says Democrats Have War-Gamed Fantasy Violent Election Day Chaos"]

These people have no clue what they're talking about, I'm skeptical that they even have a clue what a 'war game' is.  It's based on the notion that Elon Musk has somehow ordered countless armed lunatics to attack polling places because they believe illegal aliens are voting.  This is supposed to give Trump an excuse to impose martial law.  He says they did other war games but this is the one he goes into detail on although he does say that there's no evidence that Russia or China has ever affected an election.  So much for Hillary's claims in 2016.

This is basically a fantasy but they're showing the goal to impose tyranny when they magically get absolute power in a couple days.  Hillary has already spoken out, saying they'll target him, his family and his supporters, all 70+ million of them.  Michigan Senator Slotkin was similarly caught on video listing a bunch of plans to go after people starting in January.  She was one of those who order the military to carry out a coup and she used to be CIA so clearly they have other plans underway.

Obviously those plans will also include as many fake votes as possible.  I'm not saying they can't accomplish that.  It's even possible they have enough real people voting to win although as I keep saying, they believed that in 2024 and look how that worked out.  But I really don't think they have the sanity to pull this off so it's more likely that they need to start rioting as soon as they fail the elections.  They might even start rioting if they win because these people will just be so overwhelmed that they lose all self-control.  Whatever happens, I think most people will see a real lesson that these people must never be allowed anywhere near a position of power ever again.

□ [“James Gunn Wants to be Fired?!  Latest DC Lanterns Budget Is Too Dumb to Be Real!"]

I don't think he wants to be fired, I think Gunn is deluded enough to see nothing wrong with this.  He spent a hundred million dollars on the Green Lantern show on CGI.  The show takes place in Nebraska but rather than film it there, they filmed it in California and used CGI to make it look like Nebraska.  That's just insane and not even counting the enormous extra expense of filming anything in California.

I think it has more to do with him assuming he can get away with anything and that's all it takes, no serious thought beyond that.  He probably assumed everything would be successful and that's explains all the recent failures.  Unless DC's new owners already agree with him, he's not going to get away with anymore of it, at least not without spending his own money on each project.

That's why he's suddenly started talking about how Batman and Wonder Woman will now be included, he needs to find some way to look good.  He's even trying to make it sound like that was always the plan but that's an obvious lie.  IIRC the next release is a Jimmy Olsen/Gorilla Grodd tv show which is about as far away as one can get from appealing to any audience on the planet.  Only Gunn and his sycophants would want that and it's not their money being spent.

At this point the Clayface movie is expected become slightly profitable, assuming they didn't spend a lot on marketing.  The Green Lantern show barely even made the list of rated tv shows so it shouldn't have had $100 million to spend for the whole program, much less for stupid cgi "Nebraska."  I'm not sure the next Superman movie will bomb but I think the only chance of having a real success would be to take it entirely out of his hands and do a lot of reshoots.

I still can't figure out how these Hollywood cults work but I think that's who Gunn has been aiming these products at.  Either they think it will win over a mass audience or they don't care if it fails with them, it's all about this 'in-group.'  They don't expect it to destroy the IPs they're paid to work on, your mileage may vary on if they intend to destroy the corporate owners of those IPs.  Perhaps they're all deluded enough to think they can do both.

I already covered this, I'm just following the calls for protests and a strike.  I still can't find any locally except for the standard 'old white people' events that we've had for the last year and a half.  If I remember, I'll go check them out but it doesn't look optimistic.  It's possible they're handling this on some internet or site that's not normally found by the usual Al Gore-ithms but that seems unlikely for your typical leftist.  That said, I'm sure they do have allies which could handle this so it's still a possibility.

I'm more curious about the chances of a strike.  I've been advocating one for our side for years, although obviously I've dropped that for Trump 2.0, but I've also tried to think about it as a possibility for the other side.  This is probably where I'm the most optimistic, would anybody even notice if they went on strike?  As I've mentioned, over the last year or so I've seen leftists saying it's going to happen and I wish I'd taken a note of that at the time because they never follow through.

So I guess we'll see if that's the case on Monday and Tuesday.  Those of us who have jobs will see how many don't show up.  If the left loses on Tuesday, we'll see their response on Wednesday but if they haven't started the strike by that point, I doubt they'll have any incentive to go through with it.  Riots maybe but not staying home from work.  If they win on Tuesday there won't be any reason to carry it out either.  I think they're trying to start a narrative of 'the elections were stolen' but IIRC they've done that before and then won anyway.

Whatever happens, I think we'll finally be at the end of this stage by the time we go to bed on Tuesday.  I still think the odds are trending in favor of Republicans but I wouldn't bet anything on that.  It's not even about optimism, I just refuse to believe without evidence that a solid majority of people are so insane.  If anything, I think Trump 2.0 has outright planned to show that, in fact, this is a minority.  Remember, they already proved it once in 2024 and that's with 2016 and 2020 as further evidence.  Just the fact that the left is openly talking about how they're going to punish tens of millions of people for disagreeing with them shows how off the rails they are.

Congress has to swear to uphold the Constitution to take office and DSA has already sworn to get rid of it.  His point is more that there's a rule allowing a newly-elected member to challenge any other newly-elected members from being sworn-in, assuming they have evidence.  Membership in DSA should be enough evidence but it didn't stop AOC so that's a problem.

I'm guessing this is based on political intrigue but to and including tyranny and civil war, but I don't mean that in a relevant way here.  I mean that a hypothetical, that two opposing forces ran for Congress and both won seats.  No clue when this rule was established but it could apply to Soviet spies, foreign-born hiding their origins, or the Irish.  It certainly applies here to but no one's bothered to follow that rule yet so why start now?

Unless Republicans win big, I assume it'll be irrelevant anyway.  For that matter, Democrats could use it if they win big and don't even need a real excuse like DSA.  If they win big, they can make up anything they want.  How many other rules like this have been sitting around, ignored for decades?  That's just another structural problem with Congress itself, their just keep adding laws without removing the old ones.  This sounds nice but any effect will probably be more of the same.

She posts a picture of her cabinet and they're virtually all black.  Virginia isn't a mostly-black state so that's not "diversity."  The few non-blacks are all white females which is even less diverse.  No white men, no asians or hispanics of any gender.  Any Muslims?  Any gays?  Any of the dozens of other genders you people claim to believe in?  Any Trump supporters?

This is a perfect example of the problems dealing with any leftist.  They're incapable of seeing anything wrong with what they do, even if it openly contradicts what they say.  Any rational person would just go 'how can you not see this problem?'  Then there's the fact that they're clearly surrounded by people who won't say anything.  I'll avoid the 'Titanic' as an example and just say it's like boasting that you're going to have the most sober driving experience ever, now let's jug a six pack.

It's why I keep saying there's no point trying to interact with these people.  They seem smart, or at least competent, and then blatantly ignore reality without even noticing.  It also demonstrates the importance of borders and the states occupying that space.  As much as possible, these problems should be limited to Virginia, it's what they voted for.  And they call it diversity.

Well that was quick, they're suddenly discovering huge problems of just assuming countries can unite and haven't even gotten around to letting the citizens vote on it yet.  It's only been a month and a half since this was made public and now they're learning about difficulties.  I'd say this is like marriage but these are leftist elites-in-charge so they don't pay any attention to that.

Germany, France, Italy and Greece have all spoken out against this.  One problem is that the EU uses the word "associate" in multiple ways internally and none of them want to fit Canada into that.  They're trying to talk about making a deal without using that term but that would require a lot of dancing around and Canada doesn't have that sort of time.

It's not particularly related but I've been amused at watching leftists insist that things like the electoral college and the Senate must be eliminated, it should all come down to the number of votes with no distinction like state.  I keep asking if that would apply to the EU, still haven't gotten any answers, but I see that with the list of opponents here.  Germany, France and Italy are the three most populous nations in the EU and, along with Spain, make up over half the population right there.  By leftist logic, none of the other countries should be remotely relevant.  Our side knows that states are their own entities and behave according to their individual nature.  Well, if you disagree, here's Canada, how do you incorporate them?

Canada's facing its own problem, and not just that they haven't bothered to vote on this.  Quebec isn't permitted to be involved.  I assume it's because they're trying to be their own nation anyway, not to mention their close ties to France.  There's also an immediate economics problem, Europe imposes a carbon tax that is much higher than the similar US tariffs Canada is complaining about.  Canada would need to impose that tax which would cause much more problems.  Maybe they could argue for an exception to that rule but they'd need to accept the rule first.

There's probably a lot more of that waiting actual interaction between these states.  At least Europe is on the same place and has existed together for a long time.  Canada is a vastly different country on the other side of an ocean.  As a land mass, Canada is only slightly smaller than the entire continent of Europe and most of that continent is Russia.  You can't just decide to get married and expect it to work but that's what the leftists-in-charge believe.

I don't know if it's the weirdest thing about leftists - there's so much to choose from - but do they even notice when they totally reverse themselves?  Or is it a mind like a cat's where they literally don't know what they just did five minutes ago?  That's totally believable but how do you get such a massive mental difference within the same species, especially when there are so many leftists that you can't just blame schools or media.  Most of them were clearly 'born that way.'

But yes, paper ballots are a lot easier to count and keep track of.  Lock them in a room, keep guards and cameras on that room, the ballots stay the same.  I know there are other possibilities, it might be fun to come up with as many as possible and write some political thrillers, but this does a lot to minimize the fraud.  If you have it all online, there's a whole world of people who could hack in and change things any way they want.

And this guy is just saying this as a way to attack Musk.  Never mind all the leftist tech billionaires who could do the same thing for Democrats for years, they just get ignored.  It's all about Musk and Orange Man.  This also implies that they're worried about the vote results and are trying to set up who to blame.  It's quite possible they expect the "revolution" to start this weekend or next.

The military is based on contradictions which is why this looks so bad.  They're supposed to keep bad people out but obviously fail on that quite often so they need back-up plans.  But those can take a long time, I know for a fact that an E-7 takes a long time to fire even when he's clearly guilty and this guy was a Lieutenant General.  You could argue that this might make it easier - the higher you get, the more replaceable you are - but you've also got a lot more experience fighting for your position which is what the military does.

So it takes a lot of work to get rid of any of these people and they're already prepared to defend themselves.  It's not possible to do a "good purge," it's more like a necessary amputation.  But even so, we wouldn't trust it if Obama or Biden did it, which they probably did, so why should it be any better this time?  It's why I just don't like focusing on things like this.  Maybe it also shows why, despite ten years in uniform, I wasn't really cut out for the military.

The news just came out and Democrats seem to be miffed about this already.  It's possible this guy was a big deal to them so they're going to throw a fit but it seems unlikely.  They'd have to explain why he's so important to them and that would expose the leaks on info he was sending out.  Just another complaint they'll get silent about in a day or two.

□ [“Man Wearing 'Death' Shirt Calls for 'Massacre' at South Carolina Trump Rally"]

The second headline isn't accurate, he's projecting his cult beliefs onto others and comparing them to the Jonestown Massacre.  I thought about leaving it out but it's an odd connection since Jim Jones was so beloved by the left in San Francisco.  Nancy Pelosi is the only prominent politician from the city that I haven't seen a direct connection between them, there's Dianne Feinstein, Jerry Brown, Walter Mondale, Harvey Milk, Kamala Harris' boyfriend.  Jones knew how to keep blacks in line and liberals love that.

Anyway, these people really want violence and they aren't even trying to hide it.  They start from the point of assuming everyone agrees with them and there's no way it could go wrong.  We won't see any evidence until after the fact but most likely a lot of sane Democrats are realizing they don't want any part of this.  Even if they're committed to the cause, they aren't going to be the ones shooting Republicans in the streets and they don't want to be a target by cheering the massacres on.  Then there's those who aren't totally committed to the cause who are saying wtf???

The way this is coming out now just seems strange.  You'd think this would be the moment where the left needs to look as normal and sane as possible.  Yet they're doing the exact opposite, letting these people go out and demand as much violence as possible against anyone they don't like.  It's much easier to purge their own side than to attack the enemy so their internal fighting accelerates even as they're (theoretically) on the edge of total victory.

I still think they expect millions of people to be out in the streets fighting for them starting this weekend and I also think they'll be very surprised by how few there are.  As far as I can tell, there's no local protests scheduled in my area and I'm not finding a lot of rhetoric pushing that anywhere else.  It's possible they might all have agreed to simply go on strike but then we'll find out if anybody even notices they're gone.  Either way, it would be nice to finally have this out in the open and to have a clue who's on which side of the issues.

□ [“New York Times Reveals Obama-Era FBI Investigation Into Ilhan Omar’s Marriage"]

I'm going to stay pessimistic about the outcome but this does look like even the left is giving up on her.  It's already come out that the Biden administration investigated her, now the Obama administration did too.  What, was Trump 1.0 too busy elsewhere?  They already knew what Omar was doing and just dismissed as a "right-wing conspiracy."

The most likely implication is that they deliberately kept it secret to get past the statute-of-limitations.  Having done that, it's safe to admit that it was actually true, she married her brother and committed all that other fraud.  Ok, that might work for Omar but there's still a few other problems.  First of all, the people connected to her are also committing crimes where the statute-of-limitations hasn't been met, or doesn't even apply here.  She knows about it so there's that.

Then there's the question of what else the leftist media knows that they're hiding?  Look how long it's taken to come out.  You think they'd wait all these years to report on Trump marrying his sister?  I'm surprised they don't report that anyway just for more clicks.  Obama may not have known about this personally but his people did and he's still endorsing her despite all this, what's he getting out of that?  Omar herself claims the law applies to everybody, why is she being so protected for this?

I still don't see this leading to any big revelations, at least not in the near future.  We might be seeing how Somali gangs handle criticism.  I don't think we've heard much from Omar for a few days now and really that was just one day of responses since this scandal came out.  Her lawyers don't want her to be out in public, they've already instructed her to not say anything relevant like 'yes' or 'no' when asked if she married her brother.  There's absolutely no way this will led to anything important in the next few days but it might explode after the mid-terms.  It might even have an effect on how many re-election votes she gets.

□ [“Flavio Bolsonaro and Family Have Arrived in Miami After Fleeing Brazil"]

Gotta say, I'm not in favor of this just on the basic concept.  A temporary retreat and then he goes back to fight for his country, fine.  But I don't want him to just stay and enjoy his wealth in our country.  Not sure which way it'll go, it sounds like Trump and the State Department were ready for this.  They've already given him a visa.

The problems in Brazil are a bit contradictory.  The election was obviously stolen and everything was ready to make that happen so we could learn from that, but I'm betting a lot of it is specific to Brazil itself.  So we won't see a lot of relevant details, although the State Department would have people who pay attention to that.  But this is just another problem added to the list and we already have enough of those.

Right now is probably the left's best chance to steal all or most of the elections around the world, at least those that can generally be considered 'fair.'  I don't think Xi or Putin are worried about voters, neither is the EU.  But western nations in general are under threat.  Eastern Europe is having elections this month, Israel is having one now, Spain and Switzerland are having them in a month.  Even if the US mid-terms go the way I hope they do, what are the odds on these other elections?

Of course Democrats are flipping out that Bolsonaro was allowed to flee.  They even have a point that this is "asylum," which why I'm fundamentally against allowing him for any extended period of time.  But they're not remotely concerned about the stolen elections either.  We saw it in 2020 when suddenly votes came in at the last moment and all went for one candidate and that's effectively what's happened here.

□ [Lara Logan - "The Coup Unfolds"]

This is an interview on Boston public media with Senator Markey (D-Mass) about how they plan to handle the election and it's almost laughingly ludicrous, going from one delusion to the next.

He starts with Trump saying he'll deploy ICE and the military on election day.  They'll just be doing their jobs, as they're already doing but Markey is trying to make this sound terrifying.  Somehow that's supposed to encourage people who agree with him.  This sort of stupidity is why there was no consequences for insulting Trump (GWB, Bush Sr. Reagan, etc.) as a tyrant.  That's not how tyranny works.

So now he's calling for people to "rise up" in advance in case Trump uses the Insurrection Act.  He wants millions of people to be out on the streets.  That's what an insurrection does but he's fine with that for some reason.  There's also the obvious question, where will these people come from?  We've spent the last year and a half with leftists being told to get out in the streets and there's really just been some old white people.  There's no reason to think this time will be different, not in any meaningful way.  Maybe if rich leftists are paying other people to get out there, that'll help, but they'll also be easy to expose.  Again, that's what an insurrection does.

And all this is so the Supreme Court will immediately jump in and help them out?  That's not going to work for any side, we're at a point where there's little interest in what the judges say or what the laws are.  They only work when everybody agrees to accept the results.  But to Markey this is just the next step in the plan, they already have lawyers ready.

They also need to be ready for a "national strike" on Election Day.  Dude, you have no clue what it's like to have a real job.  Over the last two years, I've heard numerous calls for a 'strike.'  I keep telling myself to track those and show that they go nowhere and I never do so I can't cite any of them.  I call for a massive strike too but at least my point is clear, withdraw and let the left eat itself.  The left thinks a strike is the weapon to give them power over others.

The rest is just talking about how "desperate" Trump is now, like we've been hearing for the last ten years.  He's just projecting his own goals to steal the election onto others and clearly expects Republicans to agree with him on this.  That's how big he expects their victory to be.  He doesn't mention any back-up plans if any part of this doesn't go the way he predicts.  It's almost like he can't even conceive of the enemy getting a vote on the outcome.

I also noticed that the video was edited strangely, someone more knowledgeable might call it "unprofessional."  It was filmed from two different angles and clearly multiple takes.  Sometimes there's even a sound in the audio where two pieces were put together.  You'd think they could make better propaganda than that.  Just more evidence that things won't work out the way they expect.

□ [“Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi's New Message to the People of Iran"]

It's another example of how we can't *really* tell what's going on in another nation.  I don't want the Shah back.  It's fine if he helps overthrow the mullahs but as far as I'm concerned, his career in Persian politics is past-tense.  I'm not even sure it ever existed, he was only about 18 when the revolution happened and was in the US at the time being trained as a pilot.  [uhh, hunh???]  But that said, he is the most official representative of the Iranian monarchy and probably the primary representative of Persian history in the world today, so Iranians may think differently about him.

The Iranian war has gone very quiet.  We hear that the mullahs are very desperate, we don't hear anything from the IRGC.  We don't know if they're behind the French riots or if those are just European Muslims going their own way but it won't be very effective against the US.  We can encourage Iranians to revolt but we can't make them do it and they're the ones who have to do the work.  Pahlavi is also calling on the military and government officials to turn against the tyrants.

I've been way too optimistic for the last seven months to think this will get anywhere but I can't deny the possibility that this may work.  Or at least it'll help when something eventually happens because we know it will.  I still think it would have been better if we just bombed the mullahs and IRGC out of existence but that might have been a much bigger risk so I'm not complaining too much about this method.  People keep using the analogy of a snake squeezing its target, just holding on until it dies.  In many ways that is a better way to handle a war, especially because it gives men in the other nation an opportunity to overthrow their own oppressors.  Perhaps the Shah has now gotten that started.

□ [“James Gunn Claims Clayface Is 'Just An Alternate Universe' After Box Office Flop!"]

It's not clearly a flop yet.  It's not doing as well as Supergirl but it still has a slight chance to not lose money.  But it's safe to assume that won't happen, it will fail in the near-future.  'It'll lose less money than Supergirl' isn't really a compliment, that was the whole point because the movie cost a lot less.

Gunn calling it an "alternate universe" is just stupid.  Does he even pay attention to anything he's said before?  This was the official first story in his 'universe' so then what's the point?  Could have just said it was a completely unrelated movie, it's not like people are going to focus on what is or isn't in continuity.  Again, people didn't focus on Supergirl either and this movie has a smaller audience.

I don't know if Gunn has a *real* group of followers but he wants to believe he does, those are the shills trying to promote this on social media.  We're getting close to five years since he started the latest reboot of DC movies and it's been a very-expensive failure.  Whatever he was trying to build has no chance of working and it's hard to imagine who would still be pushing this, in or out of the company.

It's why I'm asking if he literally pays any attention to what he's already said.  I don't know if he's always been like this or if he's only recently started being surrounded by sycophants who keep him in a cage, ignorant of everything.  As I've said, the only Gunn work I've ever seen in my life is the trailer for Tromeo and Juliet so I have no idea if he brings anything good or interesting to movies.  But he was clearly riding a wave and surrounded by people who wanted to ride it too.  What these people are doing is probably one reason - maybe even the main reason - why it's ready to fall apart.  The failure is more interesting to more people than the actual products they make.

United Airlines Flight to Newark Makes U-Turn After Passenger Caught Texting About Hijacking Plane

I received the collection of Rick Veitch's Swamp Thing, bringing us the full 'time travel' arc after 37 years.  I wasn't expecting to be that gripped by it but stayed up all night to find out how it ends.  Still not sure what to say about the actual quality but safe to say it's been part of my life so this is the end of the road at one level.

One thing I hadn't thought about was how much connection to the DC universe there was.  Virtually every issue has some other character show up to inform Abby that Swampy is gone forever, not to mention all the characters in the past that Swampy runs into.  Some of them I've only heard of because of this storyline, others I can only make a guess about because they come off as standard superhero/villains, and some I would just assume Veitch made up for this story.  Turns out the DNAliens were created by Jack Kirby back in 1971.  I did not know that.

I would say that becomes a weakness, especially by the end of the story.  I've never known all that much about the Spectre and making him a big deal seems out-of-nowhere.  His secret identity is part of the last several issues and a reader who doesn't have the context could easily be confused.  Why does he have a haircut like Jason Blood who is a much more relevant part of the storyline?  The art in the last few issues does actually try to be helpful but it still comes off as "modern."  Then there's the "how* the Spectre gets involved via his secret id.  He and John Constantine apparently enjoy having a three-way with (I'm guessing) a random whore.  This is why Vertigo Comics was created.

In fact the whole ending comes across as showing that the old style of comics isn't always a good thing.  There's the return of Swampy's main enemy, Anton Arcane, which is nice.  There's the finishing off of Abby's pregnancy which really had been the storyline for Veitch's entire run.  There's Veitch's part in the DC "Invasion" crossover which I suspect he didn't want to be part of so he used it as a way to start sending Swampy back in time.

Then there's the establishment of the multiverse.  There are multiple references to Crisis on Infinite Earths which ended the multiverse, even as Swamp Thing says he doesn't remember exactly what happened.  But by the end, it's clear the multiverse existed *in the past* so it's used as a way to end the story.  Abby and Swampy and their son can go off and be happy, replaced by an alternate version which is presumably the ones in the post-Veitch Swamp Thing.  Specifically they have a daughter instead of a son.

[Note:  Getting Abby pregnant and leading up to the birth started with #65 in October 1987.  This may be the second realistic pregnancy in comic books, after Veitch drew Alan Moore's Miracleman, where Liz gave birth in July 1986.  And Warner Bros was getting ready to release the Little Shop of Horrors movie in December, "Don't Feed the Plants" would make a good theme song for this book.]

That kind of contradicts the whole point of Crisis and I thought the point here was to get Veitch to write the story he had intended at the time.  Even before I read it, I was wondering if there were any discussions with DC on including more modern continuity.  As an end to Veitch's run, a vastly-underrated series in the late-80s, it's fine.  As an examination of the DC universe, it's interesting but I'm not sure it works, or if we even needed one.  That said, I might have had a different reaction if this came out 37 years ago.

As a time-travel story, it was certainly fun.  I liked the way long-lasting characters remembered earlier encounters with the time traveler.  As a plot device, the "claw of aelkund" was quite well done, no idea how obvious it was when I originally read it but I looked forward to seeing it resolved here.  That said, I'm not really sure it was as effective as it could have been.  No great dramatic scene where it was originally created.  For that matter, another clue, a very old member of the Parliament of Trees saying "see you soon," I'd have to look it up but I'm not sure that was ever resolved.

All that said, I do feel some contentment that this has finally been brought to an end.  In some ways it's been a long almost-40 years run, in other ways it's just a blink.  I am glad that DC finally decided to get this finished.  It's also nice that they're showing more attention to the other creators of the book, artist Michael Zulli and colorist Tatjana Wood each get a page of tribute for their accomplishments.  Comics is a visual medium and has never worked out the right amount of attention to give each part of the creative team.  The artists do the actual work people look at, the writers should be invisible because you're focusing on the characters and the stories.  Veitch has obviously handled both parts of that in his career and has followed earlier examples, Alan Moore and Joe Kubert.  This is how history is built and keeps growing from a seed to a plant, but it takes a lot of time.

□ [“Trump to Visit Venezuela Oil Tanker Today 'Oil Prices Are Going to Be Dropping Very Sharply, Very Soon'”]

Yeah, sure, great, uh-huh.  I believe that he'll visit and I'm sure the prices are going to drop.  It's been over a year and a half since he began to help oil companies 'drill, baby, drill.'  The executive branch has done what it can to make the whole process easier, we certainly saw those benefits with gas prices seven months ago.  I'm deliberately not looking up when he said it but he did say gas prices would be going down in about 90 days a lot more than 90 days ago.

That's just a major blow to his track record.  Even if the prices drop to $2/gallon tomorrow, it looks like a trick.  If they had done it a month ago, it would help the consumer, it would have shown the US has control over its fuel resources and it wouldn't look tied up to Iran.  Just the fact that it took this long to get oil from Venezuela comes off as a scheme to win votes and I say this as someone who is fine with profit being the goal when it comes to making people's lives easier.  This is just a more competent version of the Biden administration trying to do it in mid-2024.

So I really don't think a sudden drop in gas prices will help the election, at least not by much.  Even if the Iranian mullahs give up tomorrow, there's just not enough time for that impact.  There's no way to know if Trump actually believes this will win votes, I'd say it's 50-50.  This might just be the goal he's been working for and doesn't really care if his party wins the elections or not, who knows?  He still has veto and the Democrats will have trapped themselves in other ways.

In fact that might be the real target here.  If gas prices go down tomorrow, I don't think it would win Republicans many votes but the left might break apart in their response and repulse even more people than they already have.  That's some thing that could change very quickly.  I would like to see that but I don't expect it to happen.  Even there it would have been better if this happened a month ago.  I do expect gas prices to start dropping big but even that won't count as a "win" for Trump and there's a reason we're not remotely tired of winning.

□ [“Obama Tries to Rescue El-Sayed, Exposes Dems' Failures and Comes Up Short"]

As usual, it doesn't sound like Obama is helping anybody he endorses.  Obamacare has to be ignored because it turns out requiring everybody to purchase government-controlled insurance wasn't actually helpful.  Paying off Muslim terrorists wasn't helpful either.  I'm sure he still has a large fanbase who will come out to watch him but they aren't going to obey and he can just go back to his many mansions.

But endorsing El-Sayed seems to be revealing some voting problems and not just that Obama is out-of-touch with normal people.  Blacks and Arabs don't get along so that's already a tough problem to overcome.  El-Sayed says everything you'd expect from a socialist but, other than wanting welfare, blacks don't really support socialism.  They need to be kept in line but we already saw that in 2024 when they supported Kamala Harris.  El-Sayed opposed Harris so which one was right?

This is made worse that Harris endorses El-Sayed.  If he was right about not voting for you then we shouldn't listen to you.  If he was wrong then you're wrong for endorsing him.  It might be possible to explain this in a coherent way but Harris certainly isn't capable of that and Obama and El-Sayed will both ignore it entirely.  "Orange Man Bad" isn't a good argument because Harris was running on that platform so the guy who opposed her helped Orange Man regain power and now she supports that?

Democrats are desperately reliant on blacks, if any percentage of them don't vote for the D, the election is almost guaranteed to lose.  There are similar issues with hispanics or gays but this is why blacks are untouchable for the party and it's still failing.  It's still not clear why they're so focused on El-Sayed over every other candidate - I have a few guesses but nothing to go with - but that's why they're sending Obama and Harris to beg or bribe as many votes as possible.  But what they can't do is actually help with their own efforts.  If they're not supported by government elites, they have nothing else to offer.
