It gets even harder to know what news is true and what the rest of it is supposed to do.  Reportedly Iran quickly gave up on the ceasefire and has shut down the Strait again.  If that's true, it's believable because they don't really have many other options.  As far as the mullahs and IRGC are concerned, it's time for national suicide-bombing so they'll hit anything available.  And if it's not true, all we need are people saying their ships have made it through the strait, no problem.  Kuwait and any other neighbors don't report any drones or missiles from Iran coming in.

The White House says media reports aren't true but it's not clear which reports they're talking about.  They do stress that Trump has not taken Iran's 10 demands seriously, I guess that's something.  Trump says Iran has gone through a "very productive regime change."  Is there a way he could be any less understandable?  Who's in charge and who is the administration negotiating with?

The new Ayatollah is reportedly unconscious and being treated for medical issues.  I'd say that's a bit less believable although it's possible he's already been assassinated.  I do think that's the real goal, that we're taking the mullahs down, we're just not doing it in a normal way.  But face it, with the media coverage we're getting, Trump could have wiped out the whole population a week ago and we wouldn't know.

I don't know if these qualify as second- and third-order effects but we're also seeing how this conflict with Iran is leading to repercussions elsewhere.  He's been looking for an excuse to get out of NATO and this helps a lot.  You insist on war with Russia so we're stuck in Ukraine all these years but you won't even let us use your airbases to pass by?  That's not a partnership.

And this is going to get deeper.  Trump also says we didn't inform Germany of the plans against Iran because they would have leaked it.  Well that's nice to hear, our allies give our secrets to our enemies?  This lines up with a Special Operations employee being arrested for leaking secrets.  Pope Leo XIV is ranting about how "unacceptable" this is because of course the Pope sides with the Mullahs.  And although I haven't been following it much, there's been reports about leaks to the media.

□ [“Trump Launches Federal Investigation, 'Fraudsters and Charlatans' Pushing Fake Iran Ceasefire Letters"]

And this may be the other main goal of this operation, exposing the media.  I really am starting to think that, whether they knew it or not, a lot of media and leftists have been working for Iran and that could explain a lot of what they've been doing for the last 40+ years.  It's most obvious with the media, the way they're promoting TDS so hard.  Yesterday Trump was a monster because he would destroy Iran, today he's a wuss for caving in and not going through with it.  They can't fool anybody but themselves, yet they're the self-proclaimed holders of information.

Then there's one other detail, mostly getting back to NATO.  A Russian warship has just escorted oil tankers through the English Channel.  The sissy in charge has already threatened to seize any Russian ships that tried that and as we see, he won't carry out that threat.  It's Britain, it's the channel, it's Russia, it's the f*cking navy, and you failed completely.  If what remains of Britain had any decency, they would leave NATO now just so the other members don't have to feel embarrassed by having this worthless island around.  Might as well give it to Russia.

In theory, he'll never be allowed out again because he's insane and if he ever regains sanity, he'll stand trial.  I don't agree with that but it's at least understandable.  But we don't live in a sane time, the left will look for ways to scream that he's being punished for his skin color and must be set free, especially since he's never even been on trial.  Frankly, I don't know why this guy is still breathing now.

I'm not sure how much of this can be blamed on the activist judges and how much on the legal system in general.  This quickly gets complicated once you look into it.  And like it or not, there's also legitimate points about the expense of prisons and the fact that civilization has mostly been opposed to a quick-and-easy death penalty.  I don't know how those problems can be fixed because there's no way to figure out how things went so wrong in the first place.

Is this about crime, race, the legal system or a bunch of things put together?  No idea.  We need to admit we have a problem before we can fix it but this problem looks too big to solve.  Maybe it's just a permanent part of human nature.  About all I can say is that the politicians and judges need to fix this because otherwise you get vigilante justice and that's just the wrong way to go.

It looks like the leftist elites just take it as a given that they can get away with whatever sexuality they want, which would explain why they've been pushing it more and more for decades.  It's starting to look like the wives are in charge and will let their husbands get away with anything as a way to keep them distracted.  If the wife picks the mistress, it's one less thing she has to put up with.  And helping to bring in child victims fits in with that, especially after a few generations of this lifestyle.

Most people wouldn't think of such a thing which is why I think the 'uniparty' is the dominant political group.  It would be interesting to see how many of them really believe different things while enjoying their perversions or how many really have all the same beliefs, they just pretend in public.  That's what makes them elites, they don't have to be seen by the public except the ways they want.

□ [“Trump Announces Double-Sided Ceasefire, Suspends Iran Bombing for Two Weeks – Iran Accepts"]

Great, another two weeks, then we get to do this again.  You were supposed to permanently solve the problem by blowing up the country.  These aren't white people, just give them a taxpayer-funded late-term abortion.  Do I have to do everything?

Slightly more seriously, Trump had been putting out some pretty good threats the last couple days.  "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.  I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will."  He'd proven he had the authority and the power to do it.  He also did a good job of showing he'd go through with but that's debatable since we aren't the targets.  You could make the argument that he was going to cave in and if that's how you see it, this was all the evidence you need.

Really, Iran itself is the main proof that they took Trump's threat seriously.  As always, there's no proof that the news reports are true but reportedly they were trying to make the same threats.  Difference is they have no way to carry them out.  They weren't even going to talk to us anymore, they had lost all restraint and were going to destroy everything on our side.  US infrastructure and oil supplies would be gone, also for our allies.  Why didn't you do that a month ago?  More of your leaders would still be alive, at least assuming your attacks worked.  This comes off like a boxer several rounds into a match deciding that if the opponent hasn't fallen yet, maybe try hitting him really hard next time.  You warned him but he didn't listen.

The CIA director says they were really embarrassed about how they finally show down one of our planes and we had this massive operation to rescue the pilot.  I do wonder if that was the point, showing how far the US will go to protect our own.  Meanwhile, reportedly, Iran is sending children out to stand in front of the power plants we're expected to be bombing.  I'm not saying they're definitely doing that but, well, it's a third-world Muslim country, they're definitely doing that.  It also shows why they really don't have a chance against us.

Pakistan has gotten involved.  They're one of those countries nobody thinks much about so there's no way to know what this means.  A nuclear power, they've applied to join BRICS.  Trump had stepped in to stop them from going to war with India and they nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize because of that.  Now it looks like they rushed in to handle the negotiations and both sides agreed.

The US will not blow up the country, Iran will re-open the Strait of Hormuz for two weeks and they will resume negotiations.  Trump has said Iran's 10-point deal is a good place to start, I hope he didn't mean that seriously.  Also anecdotal but it sounds like Iranians, in the country or immigrated elsewhere, are constantly posting on line that they support the US getting rid of this regime, no matter what it takes.  I really hope we're still working on that.

□ [“Kamala Harris Tripped Up by Her Own Words After Hot Take on Trump's Iran Deadline"]

She says how horrified she is at the threats Trump is making against Iran.  Someone responds by tweeting her own statements just a couple years ago about "all options being on the table" to stop Iran who is "our biggest adversary."  You can say she's wrong about that but her own stated beliefs would be supporting what Trump is doing.

I think there are multiple goals being pursued with the attack on Iran.  And 'most everything else Trump is doing, that's why I don't go straight to disappointment when he's not living up to our expectations.  It's not just knowing that the left will go bonkers no matter what he says or does, it's specifically planning what to say and do next because of the specific way the left reacts.

In this case, you have one of the main 2028 contenders deliberately contradicting herself and probably has no clue what she's saying.  Similarly, the left is outraged by the sudden rise in gas prices, they ignore any deaths Iran had caused their own people.  They've insisted for a few weeks now that Trump has completely LOST this war of his own making, despite Iran openly being at war with us for decades and they no longer have a military.

All of this gets ignored to continue the Trump Derangement Syndrome and even some of their own people must be noticing.  Iran sends kids out to stand in front of the power stations and be martyrs if the US attacks.  That's a bad thing.  Every member of Congress is briefed on the dangers Iran has posed against us all this time and then they have to go out and deal with their own people who side with the mullahs.  And this is the party that installed Harris as candidate without needing a primary and saw no problems with that.

This is just weird.  The UK has no problems with Jew-hatred, just look at all the Muslims they allow in.  It makes no sense why Kanye would be their biggest problem.  He would have been headlining a festival and this made a number of sponsors drop out, that's the reason this became an issue.  I get that the government would feel something should be done about this but I doubt Kanye cared much so why would they?

Meanwhile they still haven't done anything about the Pakistani gangs going after children.  It was recently pointed out that 79 members of the Labour party have been charged or convicted for going after kids.  79 predators in a single political party and you're not going after those connections but oh those horrible things Kanye says!!!  Your priorities are far out of whack.

I'd like to think we're doing something to fix Britain but, well, look at it.  This is just depressing.  And why is Kanye still famous?  Is there some reason he's not sharing a cell with P. Diddy, instead he's expected to headline a festival?  This is not what Britain built and fought for all those centuries.

Do you want to go extinct?  Because this is how you go extinct.  It's not clear if he was actually hit with the sword but the only reason for that is because there were armed police officers with him.  The attacker is dead.  What you wanna bet if the social worker wasn't there, the officers would have handled the guy without killing him?

There's the same old standard arguments, poor neighborhoods are the only place liberals want to prevent law and order from protecting citizens.  Democrats expect armed guards to keep them safe.  We're still putting up with 'defund the police' after all these years by people who refuse to learn from their mistakes.  This is why the 2nd Amendment exists.

Not sure how it could be done but I'd like to see a poll of police officers to see how many of them really don't like this sort of rule.  And those who don't, they should just form their own law-enforcement groups.  The left wants them out of government service anyway and doesn't see how this could go wrong.  Might as well let them handle it themselves and the right can protect its own people.  Maybe I'm just being negative but the fact that they're still doing this idiocy after all these years is tiring.  They want us to break up, let's do it.

Uh-huh.  48 hours to open the strait or else.  8PM Eastern time tomorrow is when it starts.  But darn it, I've scheduled washing my hair at that time, can we postpone it for a while?

I'm not being totally dismissive.  Something is almost-certainly planned.  I doubt Trump is going to blow up the whole country.  There might be something big and flashy happening but that's about it.  Of course it's also possible nothing will happen and Trump will announce another delay.

At his age he's not going to change but this really is one of the most irritating things about him, we never know how much can really be taken seriously.  Looking at his comments, a few of them make it unclear if he's actually set up the deadline for tomorrow evening.  At one point he said "The entire country could be taken out in one night, and that night might be tomorrow night."  Can't he be straight?  Well, no he can't.

Pakistan has offered a ceasefire but Iran immediately rejected it.  They have their own list of demands.  Trump rejected that and reinforced his own threat of destroying the country.  As unnerving and irritating as this is, I gotta admit I'm kind of enjoying getting to see what happens.  It's nice to have a POTUS who can actually make threats.  At least we know Trump is capable of going through with them, it's the rest of it we have to worry about.

Weren't they already doing that?  What are they going to be doing differently.  Did Vader tell them the Emperor is coming to visit the new battlestation and expects to see some progress on it?  "Iran is not as forgiving as I am"?

I'm sure Muslim immigrants are doing what they can to help in every nation they're in.  Sweden is reporting massive problems from Muslim criminals and a lot of European leaders in general are speaking out about this.  I'm worried about an equivalent of US Uniparty but the EU parliament is over 25% right-wingers so to a large extent, that's enough to sway any vote on things like this.  And the citizens have had enough so it's not going to stop there.

And this leads me to the leftist insanity we see these days.  Well, I mostly deal with it on the internet - which has its own problems - but I think it's another example of what Iran is trying to hit us with before it's too late.  They can't win with the military so they need to hit us with everything they can.  I assume we've taken out whatever bioweapons they have so suicide bombers would cause the most damage.  So we'll see what the left does.

Artemis II Begins Its Moon Fly-By - Four Astronauts Break the Distance Record From the Earth

□ [“Astronaut Victor Glover Shares the Gospel Before Losing Communication During Lunar Flyby"]

Well, it's happened.  I haven't done much today but even I've dealt with a bit of weirdness as the Moon deals with these unfamiliar people on the other side.  Since we have no idea what's going to happen, I thought I'd look up this day in history and see what leaps out at me.

The oldest known event was in 46BC, Julius Caesar won a battle.  In 1453, the final siege of Constantinople was started.  In 1652, the camp that would become Cape Town, South Africa was formed.  In 1793, the Committee of Public Safety was formed, which may possibly have been the first official leftist tyranny government.  In 1800, the Treaty of Constantinople made Greece independent.  In 1814, Napoleon was exiled from France.  In 1830, the church that would become the Church of Latter Day Saints was founded, it would be given that name on this date in 1860.  In 1896, the first modern Olympics started.

In 1909, men arrived at the North Pole.  In 1917, the US declared war on Germany.  In 1941, Germany invaded Yugoslavia and Greece, which ultimately lost them the war because it delayed the Russian invasion so winter would start before they could win.  In 1968, Pierre Trudeau won the nomination to become Prime Minister of Canada and they're still living with that.  And in 1973, Pioneer 11 was launched, the first human ship to reach Saturn.

French poet Jean-Baptiste Rousseau was born in 1671, there aren't too many interesting births and deaths but there are a few.  Today is comics artist Gil Kane's 100th birthday.  Country star Merle Haggard was born on this day in 1937 and died on this day in 2016.  Billy Dee Williams in 1937, John Ratzenberger in 1947, Marilu Henner in 1952.  Tim Walz in 1964, in case you hadn't thought about him enough lately.  Peter Rudd in 1969.

Deaths include Richard I of England in 1199, Raphael the artist in 1520.  There's quite a few big names I'm just looking at those that seem relevant to me in some way and there aren't too many of those.  Igor Stravinsky in 1971.  Isaac Asimov in 1992.  Mickey Rooney in 2014, Ray Charles and James Best (Sheriff Rosco P. Coltrane) in 2015.  Don Rickles in 2017.  The closer we get to the modern day, the less relevant these names are but there's probably a reason for that.  Fifty years and one day ago, Howard Hughes died.

Also fifty years ago today, Jimmy Carter was running for POTUS and said the federal government shouldn't interfere with a local neighborhoods' "ethnic purity."  He would be called 'racist' and have to apologize for that but would explain that he "would not arbitrarily use federal force to move people of different ethnic background into a neighborhood just to change its character."  That was Democrats 50 years ago.

I've tried to avoid watching any of the Star Wars A.I. videos being put out.  For the most part I've ignored them but I've had enough curiosity that I actually watched this one which runs for a half-hour.  The story-telling was off but there was an actual narrative that worked from start to finish which went a long way to make up for it.  Set early in Return of the Jedi, after Han has been woken up and Leia and Chewie are imprisoned, it covers Lando trying to set up an escape with Luke as the back-up plan if it doesn't work.  It doesn't and the film ends with Luke heading towards the palace.

The characters and voices weren't great but the attempt was acceptable.  It doesn't add anything to RotJ but it also doesn't cause any damage.  It comes off as an obvious fake but something about it does have a serviceable integrity that, if this is the IP you want more of, it'll do.

I had a similar reaction a day or so ago to find someone was writing their own songs and having A.I. recreate them as Guns'n'Roses.  That was even more impressive.  The quality still wasn't there but it sounded like Axl's voice singing actual verses, not just ranting on and on.  The guitar solo actually sounded clever and the drums, wow, it sounded like Matt Sorum was right there.  You could have released this in 1995 and few people would have thought it wasn't the real G'n'R.  This one was a rock ballad as you'd expect from Axl, I also listened to a hard rock track.  It wasn't as good but it was a decent attempt and I think the main problem was that A.I. just can't recreate the sparkle of real people doing this.

But most of the aspects of creation are there.  The problem is that they're still empty.  The Star Wars characters as stiff animation in poorly-edited footage.  The music comes off as sounds trying to recreate an individual style but with no interest in what the audience thinks of this.  The movie dialogue is often awkward and barely in-character, it's just putting out information to move the story to the next scene.  The music isn't remotely catchy, nothing that you'd find yourself humming after a couple listens.

Still not sure if it's good or bad but this is showing the limits to A.I.  As a tool, it can be very useful but it's artificial, that's in the name.  It can learn but so far it has nothing to base what it knows on.  The best way to put it might be that it literally doesn't have a soul.  Without that, there's fundamentally nothing to build on, no matter how capable it might be at the tasks it is assigned.

This is just getting stupid in more ways than one.  Of course it's an option, of course Trump doesn't want to send troops in, of course he's not going to spill his plans to the media who keeps asking anyway.  That's the first problem.  Another problem is that everybody's getting weird these days.  Including Trump who just posted "praise be to Allah" on his message that he'd blow up Iran if they didn't give in to his demands.  That's not really a message for Easter.

Then there's this event.  The pilot had been saved, this was the weapons systems officer, who was a Colonel.  Why would he be the one on this flight?  That makes no sense.  This has come off like a show although it's not clear what the goal is.  I've never been sure about when or where bin Laden was killed, so here's Seal Team 6 again.  Then there's people pointing out that the pilot went down on Good Friday and, wow, here he is again on Easter Sunday.

No evidence of course so I'll just make up a theory that this was a show that's more about getting access to Iranian citizens so we could provide weapons and supplies.  I could go either way on this being set up for Easter, maybe just a coincidence, maybe a deliberate message.  Likewise with Trump's praising Allah, maybe he's just making a joke, maybe it's a signal to those 'in the know.'  I'm suspecting there's a lot more Muslim and celebrity politicians than we know about, either Trump is one of them or he's telling them he knows who they are.

But looking at the news for the last couple days, everybody seems off-the-rails at this point.  I really want to believe there's a reason for it, hopefully pro-American.  It is also noted that this was a good example of the American military wanting to minimize casualties for our side, up to going into danger to rescue a comrade.  The expensive plane?  Gone, the mullahs finally get to celebrate a minor win, but they saved the airman.

The party needs to post a reminder of 'when times were good,' i.e. when Democrats were in charge, so they pick an Obama pic.  That's not going to age well, just like Biden.  Obama's been out for almost ten years, longer if you consider that they were already prepared for Hillary to replace him even though as veep, he should have had priority.

It's obvious they want to forget him but this isn't going to work.  Inflation's still not remotely as bad as when he was around but the left is trying to say what's happening now is all Trump's fault, ignoring how prices were going down for the last year.  The left and their pet media are also insisting that Trump is totally senile and needs to be removed immediately, ignoring who they spent four years claiming was strong and healthy and smart.

Basically their only hope is that everybody who remembers when Biden was around dies, or at least has enough other problems in their lives that we don't bother to remember him.  We know Biden's not going to last much longer and then the party will act like he was never there.  They'll have to do that to Harris too but no big loss.

That's not nearly enough money to spend if you really want to cut waste.  You've got to spend at least three times that much just to make a dent in it.  It's like that $33 billion high speed rail you finished building in 2020, that's just not how it works.  Newsom doesn't even realize this, even though he was San Francisco mayor when it started and was supposed to connect San Fran with L.A.  He's been part of it the whole time and it just gets worse.

He hired this New York-based firm based on an executive order.  He's using taxpayer money and didn't need their consent.  That's how he runs things, which is why he wants more authority and more of other people's money.  It doesn't need to have any helpful results, he just needs to feel good about himself for giving orders.  So the waste continues to build.

I would cite DOGE as the starting point but whatever it is, I think that the opposition to this mentality is being strengthened and reinforced by Trump's executive policies.  Newsom is the most obvious target but now people are looking all over to find this kind of waste and I suspect they aren't that worried which political party or candidate is found to be responsible.  That's the sort of thing that is primarily concerned with results, not feeling good about oneself.

I've also noted that recently Newsom's wife has come out with a bunch of idiotic statements, elitist and authoritarian.  Since her husband is trying to become the nominee for POTUS, she's obviously getting more attention and I think she's just coming off as the one who makes the actual decisions.  This is common among matriarchs, she's not the one who gets the attention so she doesn't get blamed for the results.  We really saw this start 30+ years ago with Bill and Hillary and can point to any number of other power-couples who work this way.  The men are installed to be obedient, the women are ignored or idolized.  That may be why Mrs. Newsom is being noticed now.  They can say "no kings" but are always fine with a "queen."

How many more people are willing to do this, finally taking some care of problems our leaders refuse to do anything about?  Pretty sure no judge is going to decide that this guy should just get a few months in jail and then be released.  No, all of a sudden there's are standards that must be followed and the guilty must be punished.

Government is supposed to have the monopoly on violence but liberal governments let a selected few get away with it which brings the whole system down.  I'm honestly not sure what should be done with this guy, the biggest problem is that there will be more of them.  And then, just a guess, organized crime will take over just to keep their neighborhoods safe and become the next competitor to government.  On the bright side, at least now there's one less Democrat voter.  Although he is dead so...

This just shows the point, his message ignores the mullah's regime as much as possible.  It's all about the people and the history of Iran that goes back far before Islam was in charge.  That's the greatness he's talking about, not the government that's been chanting "death to America" for the last half-century.  Just ignore them and stop bombing them and everything will be fine.

He had the sense to not say "Orange man bad" but otherwise that was part of the statement.  Either they're just desperate to buy time or they think they can fool the infidel into believing the war is over.  That's why I'd say get rid of them.  Or better yet, humiliate them.  If the legislature still meets, drop a bomb of sleeping-gas on it and let the citizens know about this so they can just walk in and take over.  Might even be able to do it in a funny way, telling the populous 'don't hurt them, just tie them all up to their chairs and then leave.'

So the deadline is just after Easter and just as the Orion reaches the Moon.  I'm still nervous about the timing although I guess nothing could be done about it.  We're down to three months before the target date and there's nothing to suggest any meaningful progress anywhere by then.  Can't say we're tired of winning if we don't do much winning.

□ [“German Men Must Ask Army for Permission to Leave the Country for Over Three Months"]

Out of all the dozens and dozens of genders, why are you singling out this one for service?  It's specifically for ages 17-45, isn't that more than a little "agism" in this rule?  A man can suddenly self-identify as a woman any time he/she wants, how are you going to account for that?  There could be some problems, what if he self-identifies as a woman before reaching the 3-month limit of being outside German?

Since the military is the one making the decision on whether or not a man can go free, this sounds like it's all about keeping military-age men available in case they're needed.  Word to the wise, this is a really stupid way to convince men to be ready to fight and die on your behalf.  It just doesn't seem like a good idea to enslave the youngest and strongest members of a single gender and it's not like you're giving them any other perks for going along with this.

Which leads to the next question, does this include all the Muslim invaders?  If they have an opportunity to go to Mecca and might not have it again, do they have any reason to ask permission from an army of infidels?  You're already training them how to use weapons against the enemy and their birthrate is much higher than native Germans so they've got a lot of young men available.  What incentive are you offering them to comply?

This is where it would be really helpful to have a strong German national identity but as one of the central pillars of the EU, there is none of that.  German men are probably more likely to get the hell out of the country before it's too late.  Not all that long ago, East Germany had similar problems, people trying to leave without permission.  This isn't fundamentally different from what the government did back then.

□ [“WH Fraud Task Force Uncovers 221 Fraudulent California Hospice and Healthcare Providers"]

There's already a number of stories about this coming out.  I haven't checked to see how many come from this task force and how many come from other organizations or 'concerned citizens' but there is movement.  People go to a hospice to die quickly and some of these have very high survival rates.  Do they have any patients at all or just a lot of patients who are only sick on paper but just fine in day-to-day life?

The taxpayer fraud is already getting counted, over $50 million just in California.  Aside from healthcare, they're finding it in school contracts and kickbacks given for deals with the right private companies.  Colorado has over $77 million in fraud for fake autism treatments.  A New York NGO is getting taxpayer money to pay illegal immigrants to go to 'no kings' rallies.  And that's just the stuff I've seen in the last few minutes.

Not sure why but the image that comes to mind is of a boat getting close to shore and starting to run aground.  That's what I'm thinking the uniparty should be worried about at this point.  They need to start acting like they don't support this even though they've been involved for many years.  But if they do that, they're going to be asked why they haven't tried to stop it before.  If they try to keep quiet about this, they're clearly part of it and will be treated accordingly.

□ [“Minnesota Judge Hands Somali Fraudster Just 6 Months After $500K Theft in Child Food Scam"]

I don't follow the news articles about activist judges but I do see them on a regular basis.  I don't know what we can do about these activist judges but something must be done.  If we're lucky, Trump did something by attending a Supreme Court hearing but we probably won't hear about that for a while.  Just a few days ago, this same judge gave another Somali fraudster one year and one day in jail for stealing millions during Covid.  Even worse, she was appointed judge by Trump in 2018.

I don't know how much Trump can be blamed for any of this because every POTUS seems to appoint these activist judges.  They're just looking for whatever's anti-Trump and that's the verdict.  A Trump executive order shuts off funding for PBS and NPR, an Obama-appointee blocks that because somehow government media is fair.  Is there a way for Trump to change these broadcasts to blatantly pro-Trump propaganda and include this judge's verdict as the reasoning?  'He made this happen and you pay taxes for it!'

I keep saying this but I don't have a clue how any of this can be fixed.  If the judges aren't activist enough, their replacements are, as are all the law schools.  These people already want to be paid by government, a lot of politicians have law degrees.  My big worry is that there's no way to change things without a total purge of the population and even that would take many years.  The clock is on the enemy's side.

□ [“Artemis II Leaves Earth Orbit - Orion Spaceship Is Now on a Four-Day Journey to the Moon"]

Well this is...  I'm not even sure what to say.  It's awesome that we're doing a trip to the moon.  It's disappointing that we're not landing, it's not even an orbit.  The pilots are swinging around using gravity, effectively the longest and most expensive amusement park ride ever.  I get that it's been fifty years and we might want to do a pass-by before we try harder but it's been fifty freaking years!  We were supposed to have people complaining that these cities are too big and overpopulated by now so they were moving out to Mars or the asteroid belt, they could afford the commute.

Of course there's the big question if any of this is real.  I'll say it is but of course there's no proof.  I think it's more likely that we planted something there on previous visits and we need to check if it's properly developed, there's just not enough reason to fake such a thing.  There'd just be too many people involved with incentive to spill the beans and say it was all A.I.-generated.

It's also a valid question what this will accomplish.  I admit to being a bit thrilled that we're finally going to the moon again but don't get the point.  I also have to wonder what the Moon has been doing for the last 50 years without us.  The Earth and the Moon had always known of each other as next-door neighbors but July 1969 was the first time their living celestial bodies had interacted and I've always seen that as where society had changed to the modern era.  Just look at the timeline of world events that month, leading up to and afterwards.  I think they're all connected but that's just the sort of conspiracy theorist I am.  And now we've finally got the next step of the program.

□ [“Trump:  'A Little More Time' so the US Can 'Open the Hormuz Strait, Take the Oil & Make a Fortune”']

As always, Trump finds a way to crush the optimism we give him.  He said just a few days ago the strait wasn't our business.  I'm not opposed to getting the oil but just taking it isn't a good idea and we - you and me - aren't getting the money for it no matter what.  We want to get rid of the mullahs and Make Persia Great Again, that's the priority.  The fact that he even thinks a post like this is a good idea makes me seriously question who we've been following all these years.

There's also issues with the strait that raises more questions than answers.  The UN just took a vote to have them open.  The Security Council resolution was blocked by China, Russia and France.  WTF is France doing?  To the extent any ships have gotten through peacefully - I think there's been some - the first one was French.  And this is who they're siding with?  That's not even getting into why China would want this, they rely on oil sent via the strait.  I can't even think of a precedent for this, it's like betting you a hundred dollars that you'll beat me in poker.  Who's on what side here?

In other news, after several weeks of shooting at the US planes overhead, Iran finally took one down.  I've paid very little attention to the reports because I wouldn't trust them anyway, but it's reported that both pilots are alive.  I think one was rescued and the other is safe but I may be misremembering on what little info I did see.  It did make me wonder if that was the real point, to send in ground troops to get him back, and maybe blow up a few other things along the way.  Or for that matter, get some friendly Iranians to come by and protect him.  I'm making up these theories on the spot but we just can't trust anything about this.

□ [“Supergirl Actress Is Angry... and It's All Men's Fault!  Flop Incoming"]

Still amused by the upcoming DC failure.  The actress needs to insult the people who might buy tickets to her movie.  Men are bad so they don't have any reason to show up and nobody's ever found a female audience to replace them.  And yet again the studio spending all this money just lets her go out and do this.  That's not a good way to promote a movie and especially not Supergirl.

It'll also be interesting to see what happens to James Gunn for this movie.  As we recall, some old tweets came out about how he really wants sex with children and Marvel fired him.  Then the Guardians of the Galaxy actors demanded he be brought back, so he was.  The resulting movie was one of the few successes Marvel has had in the last several years and Gunn had already been hired to go over and reboot the DC cinematic universe.

But that's not going very well.  It's possible that last year's Superman wasn't a box-office failure but it wasn't successful by much.  Expensive movies really need to be successful by much.  He's done two tv shows with characters nobody is interested in and all we hear about them is that nobody's watching them either.  And now we get a movie with a drunken girl-boss on an alien planet trying to save a teeny little puppy.  The Superman cameo is being expanded with reshoots but that's not going to help.  The only chance this movie has is Lobo and that's not where Supergirl should be.

DC has enough problems with all their expensive failures.  If this movie isn't a hit - and it won't be - they will need to get rid of Gunn and reboot the DCU for the third time in a little over a decade.  And that's not counting that AOL/Time-Warner is being purchased by a new megacorporation, Paramount, who really doesn't need this hassle with some of their biggest IPs.

Artistically, it's stupid enough to try to tie together all these IPs.  At least in comics it's cheap and you can do with with a small number of creators.  But you also get a very different fanbase from what movies require.  I'm not sure there's any chance of them working but I would say go back to cheap 90-minute stand-alone adventures.  I'm in the minority that says you don't need the big characters as long as the work itself is interesting and fun but the odds for success are still very slim.  It's not even worth thinking about.  And now you have this obnoxious female up front to push the whole thing.  Bad idea.

□ [“Pam Bondi Fired as Attorney General… Replaced in Interim by Deputy AG Todd Blanche"]

Probably today's big news.  Not much to say, just rumor and speculation which seems ridiculous.  Bondi and Trump have each released public statements about how much they like and respect each other and what they accomplished.  That's nice but it also comes across as very generic.  I'm sexist so I was against hiring her in the first place but, probably the nature of sexism, we try accept that some women are genuinely capable of doing things and we always hope this one will be an example.

Based on what we've seen for the last year, I'm not even sure we can really judge this because so much is still unknown.  The Epstein files are an obvious example, we have every right to criticize the failure there and point directly at Bondi but given how everything else is really coming across as part of a larger plan, the Epstein files can't magically be an exception.  And by extension, there's punishing all the fraud and treachery in the Uniparty, that would be a massive purge of the government and big business, so much that there's no way to justify a POTUS doing that, even if you support him.  He'd have to wipe out tens of millions of people on the spot, do you really trust Trump and his people to handle that?

The rumors include things like Bondi had leaked info to Eric Swalwell that he's being investigated.  Also that Trump wants to follow it up with firing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard.  Maybe that part's true - remember, one of Trump's biggest claims to fame was spending years telling people "you're fired!" - but this rumor is that's all because she didn't attack someone Trump was attacking.  Come on, the reasons to fire Bondi and Gabbard have been there for months, I really don't think Trump is going to fire people for something like this.  If nothing else, he'd have had plenty of excuses to do that months ago too, so why didn't he?

There's also speculation on who he's going to replace her with, something I'm not interested in.  Whoever it is, we'll have the same problems we have now, the question is if those are serious problems or if that's just our perception because the real info is being hidden.  Don't know if it's related, but Secretary of War Hegseth just fired the Army Chief of Staff who was appointed under Biden, along with two other generals.  This is what I mean, 'wheels within wheels,' even if you support Bondi being fired, don't assume we know what really happened here.

□ [“Fraud Taskforce Begins Raids Against Healthcare Fraudsters Across Southern California"]

Ok, I wasn't expecting news like this to come out right away.  They've already started arresting people for over $50 million in fraud.  I'm guessing that they have all the information from DOGE and investigations by people like Nick Shirley.  I think it's even been said that whistleblowers will get a chunk of the money.  So there's lots of evidence, clues for more evidence and incentive to save oneself by turning everyone else in.

And this is just the start.  California fraud is going to be huge and Vance has already said he'll be going into Minnesota's fraud too, going all the way up to Tim Walz' involvement.  Walz insisted at last weekend's protests that he'd protect Somali's from Trump, he's obviously not siding with the taxpayer.  Wonder why.

It's probably not getting more attention because the uniparty and its media pets really want it kept secret but this sort of thing is definitely what Trump was elected for.  I'm irritated at how long it's taken to get here but I think the leftist fraudsters are going to be massively exposed with these investigations.  We'll see how much of our money has gone to feed their insanity.  Democrats are having a similar problem, it's been noticed that they aren't very good at identifying foreign donations.  I'm sure Republicans are involved in that too, it's why the term 'uniparty' is being used more and more.  They're all united against us.

□ [“James Carville Promises After Mid-terms, Democrats Will Go After Trump’s ‘Kids and Their Spouses"]

I'm not sure I've ever paid as much attention to Carville as I have in recent months.  As far as I know, his only real claim to fame was helping Clinton win his first term and that's about it.  Even Democrats don't pay much attention to him, yet he's still there.  He's in his 80s and you'd think enough Democrats and media outlets would be sick of these old white men, yet here he is again.

I think what strikes me about him, besides the fact that no one can get rid of him, is that he's becoming increasingly incoherent.  Not just in an 'old person' way, reading the transcript, it just comes off as derangement.  Maybe it's Trump Derangement but it seems like he could do this to anyone he doesn't like.  As we see here, he's eager to send the government after your relatives and anyone else he doesn't like.

It's not just me, any number of other people are openly comparing this to demon possession.  Whatever made Carville a real person is gone, this is what's left.  If you want, you can argue that it's just insanity but I don't know.  Just the fact that nobody around him can make him stop, he just keeps getting worse month after month and is surrounded by people who agree with him.

And he's just rambling, it'll be like Mike Tyson is beating Trump up, that's what'll happen in November.  And then he'll be useless - like they've said about Trump for the last ten years - and then he starts talking about a Democrat Senator who will save the day.  Then he'll be on trial at the Hague and impeached in 2027.  I'd say 'stop doing drugs' but maybe he needs a lot more of them.

It's interesting, this has been going on for a month now and Iran has nothing left to fight with or even to lead them.  The only reason their government is still in power is because Trump hasn't invaded.  Iranians aren't allowed to have guns so they're not rushing to overthrow the mullahs but that seems to be on their mind.  Even western media is realizing that Iranians around the world really don't like the tyrants they've had for the last half-century.

But the left continues with Trump Derangement Syndrome and their media insists that this war is completely lost.  What planet are they on?  It's been barely a month, the enemy has lost their military forces, their rockets, missiles, cyberattacks and funded-terrorists aren't doing much.  Our side will probably lose more soldiers for drunk driving this weekend than Iran has taken out, and that's a loss?

Meanwhile the Middle East is fuming at the chance of getting rid of the mullahs, they're willing to side with Israel.  NATO is showing how pointless it is, since they aren't willing to provide the slightest support to their ally who has helped them for decades, up to and including with Ukraine.  This is one of the things I enjoy about Trump 2.0, they clearly have multiple goals tied together with actions like this.
