Trump Administration Sues Virginia for Giving Illegal Aliens In-State Tuition at Taxpayer Expense
December 30, 2025

□ [“Former Trump Spox Liz Harrington Calls Out DOJ — Demands 'Real Accountability' for Minnesota Fraud”]

As usual, I suspect the Trump 2.0 administration has had this planned.  My theory which I just made up is that they deliberately have been pissing us off by not sending anyone to jail, not revealing all the obscenity our leftist rulers have been getting away with for so many years.  Assuming they didn't know about it already during Trump's first term, they worked out what order things needed to be done this time around.  2025 has been a year full of victories for Trump but many of them have been unsatisfying for most of us.  But now with this, it looks like a direct hit on the leftist machine.

Many billions of dollars wasted and now people are looking into what else the Somalis have been getting up to in multiple states.  They're not the only ones doing this, these leftist government policies were created to make this massive fraud happen.  I forget who pointed it out but if it was really about helping the needy, the activists would be the first ones pissed off by the fraud.  Yet they remain silent, only now getting around to saying anyone who opposes it is racist.

Then there's the obvious links to the center of the Democratic Party.  Tim Walz has been overseeing this for years as Minnesota governor and just last year he was picked to be Veep candidate.  Minnesota Attorney-General Keith Ellison is a Muslim who's always been close to Obama.  These two guys both took their current jobs on January 7, 2019 and were ready to start the BLM riots in 2020 over George Floyd's death in Minneapolis.  Right there are tons of connections that these two have, even as they maintain the flow of laundering money to whoever they pick.

There's lots of directions to go, many people who deserve to be in jail for the rest of their lives and Americans are sick and tired of them always getting away with this.  I think these Somali frauds are the last straw.  If the Trump administration doesn't start busting lots of people, then they are also the enemy and will not be given any mercy either.  Because I'm so optimistic, that's why my theory is that this was part of the plan.  Putting us in this position was the goal for 2025.  Now things will really get started in 2026.

Entertainment and Media Sector Sheds 17,000 Jobs in 2025, Up 18% from 2024's Job Losses

□ [“Jill Biden’s Ex-Husband’s Wife Dead After Police Called to Residence for Domestic Dispute"]
□ [“JFK Granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg Dead at 35"]

These days when a celebrity dies, or at least one of the elites, I always wonder if the report has anything to do with the truth.  At this point I think our masters are part of a demon-worshipping cult so human sacrifice seems like a very obvious way to go.  It's something the believers can aspire to and may also be seen as a tool to gather as much eldritch power as possible for their use.  I take it as a given that the Kennedys would be deep into this and someone connected to the Bidens would also be a likely candidate.

My first thought on the Kennedy girl was that she must have been vaccinated against covid although you never know why a rich person would do that.  Only the poor need that sort of "population reduction."  Officially she was diagnosed with leukemia six weeks ago and that was that.  It all happened so quickly and there's no reason to trust the media on this.  Is it really that hard to believe she was 'selected' for this and given a few weeks to put her affairs in order?

The liberal approach to families is not, shall we say, normal, which I think applies to the Kennedys and the Bidens.  Joe's first wife died just a couple weeks before he started his first Senate term and he started dating Jill when she was still married to her first husband, although at least officially they were separated and the divorce was finalized a couple months later.  Joe's brother was the one who set them up.

Under normal circumstances, you could see family members being involved in someone's daily life as normal, or even just a coincidence.  Even Democrats used to think family was a very relevant part of life, that's why the Kennedy's got so rich and powerful.  But with these people, it always brings negative implications, another one of *them*!  Now it leads to people like Hunter, or Joe and Jill's only child Ashley.  As I said, I just automatically think of this stuff these days when some celebrity dies, Rob Reiner being another recent example.  Like the Egyptians back when the Jews were getting started, or the Aztecs before Cortés arrived, human sacrifices were seen as a way to expand the ruler's power.  And that's different now because...?

□ [“HUD Report Over $5 Billion in Questionable Rental Aid to Dead People and Non-Citizens"]

No word on if this was authorized with the autopen so I'll just assume whoever was really in charge made the decision to do this.  Obama personally or just one of his assistants?  Just a brief look at HUD's history shows that it was about promoting leftism from the start, the *woke* agenda before we had that name.  Started by FDR, made a cabinet position by LBJ and during the Clinton years was run by Andrew Cuomo who's still in politics these days.  Right there is about all you need to know.  And now we see that they're part of the taxpayer fraud Democrats love so much.

□ [“Health and Human Services Department Freezes All Childcare Payments to Minnesota While Investigating Widespread Fraud"]

A major step and very easy to justify.  Can't just keep pushing out money with such major fraud going on.  If Democrats don't like that, they could have done something about that.  Tim Walz has already attacked Trump for this, talking about how much fraud they've already stopped.  And California managed to stop massive fires on some acres of land last year so who cares about the rest?  The federal government has justification to investigate, people going without childcare payments might as well blame the Somalis for getting caught.

□ [“Senator John Kennedy Brings Somali Fraud to the Senate Floor, Blames Minnesota Democrats"]

I don't know how long it will take but now Congress is obligated to get involved.  If nothing else they'll need to watch the investigations conducted by the Executive Branch.  But the Uniparty probably knows a lot more about this already.  So how many pages of those thousand-page spending bills are about sending out money to people who know how to launder it?  Might want to take a look through the longer bill which was sent out last April (?) to avoid a government shutdown and start looking into everything listed there.

I haven't looked into it closely but news is already coming out that a lot of people have been inspired by the childcare-fraud reporter to start checking what's going on in their own states.  They're doing the work our media refuses to do and already finding stuff.  Gas stations in Texas owned by Indians and getting millions of dollars in Small Business loans.  Daycare centers in Ohio and Washington which don't even have actual addresses.  Kids can't go to a place without an address but the money still found where to go.  Minnesota has even shut down the website listing Medicare service providers so people can check their licenses.

Why do I get the impression there's going to be a tidal wave of news on this in the next few days.  Now that's a somalipop.

Anybody else notice the contradiction here?  Reportedly Ukraine sent several dozen drones to attack Putin's residence.  That is not how someone ready for peace operates.  It's also possible Russia faked the attack as an excuse to ignore the peace deal.  They are at war, both sides get to do things like this and blame the other.  That's no even counting the unlikely-but-still-possible that the US was involved on either or both sides.  Or the EU.  Or China.  This is why we should not be in involved, let them blow each other up.

□ [“Iranian President Says His Regime in a ‘Full-Fledged’ War With America and Its Allies"]

So what's changed since 1979?  You're in the House of Islam, the infidel is in the House of War.  It's not clear who he's really speaking to here, this was an interview posted on Ayatollah Khamenei's website.  [Stops.  Checks.  Yeah, that's what it was all right.  Man, what a weird f*cking century this is.]  He might be sucking up to the rulers, this may be sending a signal to rebels, I doubt it's sending a message to allies although that's possible too.  But it's been over six months since Trump slapped Iran down hard and they need to start showing that they're a great power or the support they have will continue to dwindle.

□ [“Trump Confirms First Land Strike Against Venezuelan Drug Facility 'There Was a Major Explosion'"]

Then there's this other war going on with a member of BRICS.  [I know, it's only applied for membership so far...]  I'm not even sure it's about Venezuela itself so much as the international cartels.  As I've said, I support Trump doing this, the US needs to maintain its authority in the western hemisphere.  Still don't know what he's actually doing or why but it seems like a good move so far.

So those are the wars we see as we end the first year of Trump 2.0.  I would prefer it if he was handling these a lot quicker but the enemy does get a vote on these things.  Trump is publicly using the military more than he did in his first term but I generally support that.  As the saying goes, to secure peace, you must prepare for war.  He's doing it the right way, hitting Iran and Venezuela hard so that there's little they can do in response.  But I still can't support his participation in the Russia/Ukraine thing, not unless he spills out ALL the details of what's going on.

□ [“Minnesota’s Largest Newspaper Completely Ignores Somali Fraud Scandal in Year-End Review"]

By an amazing coincidence, the publisher worked directly for Walz from 2019 to 2023.  So he's connected to the guy in charge of stopping this fraud of taxpayer money.  And he won't cover it.  Of course it's not unique, every major media outlet is ignoring this story even though it keeps growing.  A 20-something youtuber just exposed the millions of dollars of fraud by fake daycare centers, just one guy looking into things that the media wants to stay hidden.  If you want real news, you'll have to look elsewhere.

□ [“Tim Walz Calls Nick Shirley a 'White Supremacist' for Reporting on Somali Daycare Fraud"]

This is all they have to respond with.  He uncovered $110,000,000 of fraud and liberal racism is their response.  That shows how unimportant the taxpayers are to liberal elites.  Two weeks ago, Walz did give a conference where he mentioned they didn't keep the voters up-to-speed on all this fraud but other than speaking incoherently, that was it.  Shirley's exposure only came out a couple days ago so there was a lot more going on.

Walz' office also spoke out saying he's done so much to fight fraud.  Not enough to stop it apparently but they're not paid for that.  There's also audio from 2021 of Keith Ellison giving a speech to Somalis saying there would be 'favors' done for them in exchange for donations to the campaign.  Some of the people he was speaking to have since been arrested for this very fraud.

□ [“Federal Agents Descend on Suspected Somali Fraud Sites in Minneapolis"]

Maybe it's a good thing the media isn't reporting on this, otherwise there'd be protestors against federal agents.  This is the knot the left has found itself tied in, they must be kept ignorant of what's going on if you want them to stay on the left.  Otherwise they might ask why the leftists-in-charge aren't stopping the fraud.  Maybe they'd even ask what else they're being lied to about.

But the Trump administration is in the same situation.  You've had a year to start busting these criminals and nothing has been done.  Now Pam Bondi needs to make a public excuse that they've arrested a few people here or there and they really really mean to handle things now.  Kash Patel has made a slightly-better statement about the FBI doing the same thing.  House Oversight Chair James Comer says they're also investigating and "hopefully, we’ll have some criminal referrals at the end of the investigation."

Wow, that's a really intense public statement there.  Hopefully some criminal referrals.  All the Somalis and all the Democrats covering for them and all the media hiding these crimes must be shaking in their boots at the hope of referrals.  You ever think you're being a little too harsh about these things?  Just keep this up, it's the best way to end MAGA permanently.

□ [“FBI Director Kash Patel Confirms Somali Fraudsters Being Referred for Deportation"]

The left is really ignoring this.  Maybe they just don't want to be called "racist" but there's more.  For one thing, they really don't care about the fraud, no matter how much the taxpayers lose.  They're all about seizing our money to spend it on things that are really necessary but don't want us to see it going back to fund terrorists in Somalia.  But darnit, they'll need to take even more from us next year because of homelessness or whatever, like that's spent just as well.

And every day it gets clearer that this is just one piece of the whole machine.  Walz has barely mentioned it and certainly isn't making a point of showing that he's punishing these thieves.  Because if he does that, the people being arrested will just point out how much money he got from them.  Nobody's asking Kamala Harris where her campaign got all those donations when Walz became her veep choice.  The nicest thing to say is that she doesn't have a clue.

And Somalis aren't the only ones doing this.  One reason most politicians don't want to look into this is because it's been done all along by many groups, whether tribes or NGOs, not just the Somalis in Minnesota.  The NGOs, the bureaucracies, all the leftist self-proclaimed "experts," they'll all stick their hands into government projects and grab whatever they can.

□ [“California drops lawsuit seeking to reinstate federal funding for the state’s bullet train"]

This is another example.  If they try to get federal money, the federal government will have complete authority - assuming it doesn't already - to see where that money is going.  Given the enormous waste of time and money this project has already been, no Californian has the guts to face that.  Maybe this is why they're so easy to hustle, because it's easier to just go along with it than to admit they were fooled so they'll keep doing it for years.

India Denounces Trump Crackdown on Fake Visas — ‘Hardship’ of Indians Being ‘Stranded in India’
December 28, 2025

December 28, 2025 Brigitte Bardot, French actress, age 91

Like most people, I spend a lot of time every day thinking about Steve Ditko's Spider-Man.  I'm increasingly fascinated at how he clearly had a long-range plot in mind and not just with Betty Brant as the love-interest.  I really can't think of a precedent in comics for such extended storylines.  Jack Kirby would follow it up with what I refer to as the 'Inhumans graphic novel,' best reprinted in Essential Fantastic Four volume 3 but for all its good points, it had less character and subtlety than Ditko's work here.

And as always, it should be pointed out that not only did Ditko never get close to finishing this storyline, but he never f*cking explained what his plans were.  AFAIK, for the rest of his life, the only specific comment he made about his plans for Spider-Man stories was saying that yes, he always intended Norman Osbourne to be the Green Goblin.  Nothing else so all we can do is guess.  It's a visual medium!  You have to provide the words!

Marvel had just introduced multi-issue storylines.  Cover-dated April-May 1964, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers fought and teamed up to battle the Hulk - whose title had just been cancelled - while the while several storylines in Spider-Man had started just a couple months earlier.  In #9, cover-dated February 1964, Aunt May was sick.  The following issue she was sick and needed a blood transfusion from Peter.  She got better after that but would again fall sick in #17, setting the story for a couple issues.  Then in #29 she starts getting sick again, leading to her being near-death for the Master Planner trilogy, where Peter learns that his blood transfusion is what caused this problem for May.  After that, she barely appeared for the rest of Ditko's run.

That's a character arc.  Her role in the story was done, Peter was an adult and didn't need to fall back on her.  Of course she would have continued to be used had Ditko remained and we don't know what his plans were.  Maybe she'd stay a permanent cast member, maybe she'd have died in fairly short-order.  But that was not to be.

I've covered Peter's relationship with Betty before but it started becoming serious in #9.  She had even visited May in the hospital but suggested something dark in her past.  In #10, as Spidey fights the Big Man and the Enforcers, they even hassle her about repaying a loan.  No details but she's run away, out of town.  The following issue, she's in Philadelphia working for criminals and Dr. Octopus.  It's her brother who's the real criminal, he's the one who owes money and ends up dead by the end of the issue.  She's angry at Spider-Man for this and we'll never see her again, until she re-appears at the Daily Bugle like she never left.  She also has a new haircut.

I've covered Betty and Peter before, showing that Ditko always intended her to be Peter's one-true-love.  But my point here is that she's given a multi-issue storyline for basic development as the lead female character in the series.  It's very well done and it really isn't noticeable.  This is a superhero comic for little boys and Betty's relevance is developed very subtlety at this time.

The first eight-or-so issues were just standalone stories.  The villains and characters would return but there were no story points Ditko would develop for he rest of his run.  It was the Betty and Aunt May plotlines where this started.  #10 is also where he started his story about crime interacting with business as well as, arguably, organized crime, with the Big Man and the Enforcers.

The Big Man was Ditko's first take on mysterious supervillains.  This one was clearly connected to the Daily Bugle and Spidey assumed he was really J. Jonah Jameson.  Turns out the Big Man was just another reporter at the newspaper.  The Enforcers were just a gang of thugs who would only make two more appearances, working for the Green Goblin, who would continue this storyline without them, and then the Sandman to finish the multi-issue storyline where Aunt May is sick for the second time [remember, this happened three times during Ditko's run.]

The Goblin's first appearance seems quite pointless - and a rip-off of Fantastic Four #9 from September 1962 - but his remaining Ditko appearances were all about putting together gangs for a criminal empire and, as Norman Osbourne, making use of that in his business empire.

So after the Big Man, there was the multi-issue story with Doc Ock and setting up Betty.  During this story, Liz Allen decided to stop seeing Petey as a geek and had a crush on him for the rest of their time in high school.  Over the next couple issues, she kept throwing herself at him.  Betty hadn't met her yet but was already jealous of Liz.  In #15, they finally meet and really don't like each other.  Their interactions will continue to be entertaining for the rest of Ditko's run, but it should be noted that this issue also features the first time Aunt May insists Peter meet the niece of her dear friend, who turns out to be Mary Jane Watson.

It looks like Liz was just intended to be competition for Betty.  A subplot for #15 is that Peter has to turn-down Liz and Betty for dates because he's stuck meeting MJ, but then she's too sick to show up so Peter tries to call them.  But Betty and Liz have found better things to do tonight than put up with him.  MJ would continue to be mentioned but there's really no clue what Ditko's intentions were for her.  Betty and Liz meet her in #25 and realize they can't compete.  But the reader doesn't get to see MJ, her face was hidden from us just as the unmasked Green Goblin's was.

I suspect Gwen Stacey was just a replacement for Liz, more sophisticated and experienced.  She only had a few appearances in Ditko's run but it's interesting to note that Spider-Man was entirely absent from all of them, even in discussion.  Peter thought about being Spidey one time when she was around and in another issue, the villain attacked and she was Peter run away but had already left the scene when Spider-Man showed up.  It's an interesting subtlety from Ditko, the title character is completely absent from a subplot the main character is going through, even though they're the same character.

I really am enjoying going through these issues and one reason is that the quality of the stories just stands out.  Ditko is infusing these characters and plots with such depth that they remain fascinating and full of useful material yet he had barely started developing them.  Can't just leave Mary Jane sitting around for years then use her to follow up Gwen Stacey as Betty's main competitor, yet there's absolutely no clue what else he would have used them for.  All the evidence points to Norman Osbourne being the Green Goblin, but there's nothing concrete.  He could have just been revealed as some brand-new supervillain and it wouldn't have changed anything.

He was clearly doing something with criminal gangs getting organized, which was followed up by introducing the Kingpin shortly after Ditko left.  But there's also nothing about what or why he was going this way.  Even more unclear is what role JJJ had in this storyline.  Sometimes he was part of it, sometimes he was a victim, other times he was just passing along information or used as a joke.  That versatility prevents us from making any specific guesses.  Did Ditko have a plot for JJJ or was he just a useful tool for whatever story being told in a given issue?

Given Peter's growth over 37 issues (plus Amazing Fantasy #15 and two annuals) it's clear that Ditko was essentially doing an Ayn Rand novel as a child's superhero comic.  It obviously worked very well, given Spider-Man's status as a successful IP for the last 60 years.  But he never got to finish it because he didn't own the copyright.  I keep thinking of Jerry Seigel having a story in (I think) the early 40s where Lois Lane would be trapped with Clark Kent and actually discover his secret identity, where she would then continue as his assistant.  But DC liked the way things were going so they said 'no.'

We don't know if that was basically the problem Ditko had with Marvel but either way, he walked away from the biggest success in his career.  And never even told the audience what we were missing.  You can call that "integrity," you can scream 'wtf are you thinking???'  But it was his choice and his responsibility.  This isn't even counting Dr. Strange, the Question, Mr. A or anything else he created, this is the sort of work that few people could even conceive of but we're all grateful that he was here to provide it.

□ [“Trump Says Russia and Ukraine Peace Talks Entering ‘Final Stages’"]

Like he's never said this before.  That's bad enough but apparently he also talked to Putin an hour or two before the meeting.  So every leftist will just assume Putin gave him orders and refuse to accept any peace deal.  Zelensky could come out saying this was the greatest deal ever made in history and they'd ignore that because he's no longer useful.

Putin has also made a public statement that Russia is just going to keep moving forward.  Achieving their goals with peace is fine but they'll use force if that's what it takes.  Now how do you make a peace deal with that?  Trump is just wasting his time on this.

If there's any point, it's that he's starting to expose what the EU is up to, with leftists around the world.  They're looting our money to funnel through Ukraine but we don't yet know exactly why.  We can speculate but there's little to see yet.  Trump also makes the point that this war only happened because the 2020 election was stolen.  Of course he doesn't give any details about this so we're left with empty hope that it'll eventually be revealed.

I get the impression that a lot of people are starting to check out Somalis to see what fraud they're up to.  Nick Shirley started checking daycares they owned, which were funded for watching over hundreds of children.  Yet oddly enough, look at the daycares and there are never any children to be seen.  So he started asking people at the daycare about it and they didn't like those questions.

In nearby Ohio, they are looking into Somali-owned grocery stores and restaurants which are located right next to each other and have the same owners.  They use this for more scams, including their polygamous customers.  Just don't mention you're married and the women get all these extra government benefits, as do their children.  Yet again, state and city governments never look into this.

No.  Anything else?

I keep saying this and I've been consistently wrong so far, but he really does seem desperate.  It's like this is the last trick and if he doesn't work, just loot what he can and fly off to Europe for the rest of his life.  The EU has already promised to send troops as soon as the fighting stops, so right there Russia's not going to go along with it and their agreement is kinda required.

It's the pointless delay that really shows what a hoax this is.  He's gotten by fine without any referendums on this war.  Might as well say he needs to wait for the Anti-Corruption Unit to finish their investigation of his administration, which he's keeping them from doing.  I see articles about this regularly and immediately forget them afterwards, a good example of why this is none of our business in the first place and I still curse at Trump for being so deeply involved.

But that's not even getting into what the EU is up to.  Been a little while since they spouted off about the need to send men to die for them or anything like that.  They must have realized it's not getting them anywhere.  As the old saying goes, 'if you want peace, you have to prepare for war' and they've spent decades refusing to do that.  Zelensky can easily get peace without a referendum but it means defying the EU.

□ [“Kennedy Center President Demands $1M from Jazz Musician Who Canceled Christmas Eve Show"]

Haven't figured it out yet but Trump is clearly working another set-up for the left.  He started renaming stuff right from day one of his second term.  I wonder if there might be a legal reason for it but it's also possibly about hitting the left on their incessant renamings.  It's essentially showing off 'you don't like it when we do it but you keep doing it to us.'  Still haven't figured out the "Gulf of America" though.

With the Kennedy Center, he's doing something similar but not quite the same.  He's added his name to the center to outrage leftists.  I don't think he's really egotistical enough to want that but it's an effective weapon to sue against those who think he is.  The Kennedy Center is some sort of leftist temple so he sticks his name right there to irritate them.  And as we see here, it worked.

Chuck Redd had signed the contract to perform.  He wasn't sick or having some legitimate reason to miss the show, he just decided to cancel at the last minute because Trump's name was on the building.  In a normal ticket-selling industry, that's bad enough.  For a 'non-profit' place like this, it's a big deal.  Not sure what weapon he's just given Trump by refusing to go through with the deal he signed but this could be entertaining to watch.  Apparently Redd performs there every Christmas Eve, I'm sure he's not going to get that offer ever again.

Just going through what I'd written before Trump was re-elected, ICE was going into 'sanctuary cities' even back then, often with the help of known leftist mayors.  That was last year, they knew they had these problems even then.  But the Democrats in charge, like you, didn't care.

I've noticed that the left has unanimously moved over to the 'when we're in charge again' notion.  They see no challenge, they just expect like the sun coming up in the east.  So they're already preparing to impose their tyranny far worse than before.  It's one place I think the Trump administration has clearly made plans.  We've been promised mass inflation all year and that never happened.  None of the wars Trump is accused of wanting have happened.  In 2026 businesses will be able to start really growing so the left will just look idiotic with these claims.  Best of all, there's a lot less danger coming from illegal immigrants and guess who deserves none of the credit.  People like Pritzker.

They must be worried.  They need to keep the wealth they're used to coming in.  They also see themselves as part of the elite, having been born into that class.  This is how you get an aristocracy.  Naturally they need to avoid admitting this so as leftists, their focus is entirely on people who are richer than they are.

What runs much deeper, which they also refuse to notice, is that this contradicts the leftist anti-family position.  They could be insisting that everybody else have as much wealth and power as they do, yet they never ever get that far.  But they do hold very tightly to their own wealth, brought to them by their family.

This is how the passage of time works.  Those who don't reproduce have little to pass on to the next generation - exceptions duly noted - so they vanish.  At least traditional families realize that they need to train their children to become adults, leftism doesn't even do that much.  They try to infect other people's children with this same self-destruction but that's just spreading the disease, not finding a solution.  In the next twenty years, Muslims will probably become the dominant Democratic voting base and the party will have taken a massive shift away from being pro-gay abortions because Muslims want children.

So this is an example of how leftism erases itself.  Yet-another demonstration of why it doesn't work but is deluded enough to believe it's the only way to go.  These rich leftist family members think they're entitled to keep everything as it is and never see that the only chance they have of success is by opposing leftism, whether they realize it or not.

DOJ Looks Into Soros-Backed Virginia Prosecutor Accused of Leniency for Illegal Immigrant Suspects
December 26, 2025

□ [“Fani Willis Hit With New Allegations Tied to Massive Democrat Money Laundering Scheme"]

Willis is the Georgia prosecutor who was going after Trump no matter what happened.  For some reason, I always separated her vendetta from the other court cases against Trump.  Not sure why but it seemed to stand out differently.  And that continues...

As you may remember - and if you don't, I blame you for making me forget too - she attacked Trump for questioning the Georgia results in the 2020 election.  This state Trump lost by about 11,000 votes and it has recently come out that 315 thousand votes in Fulton County were fraudulently counted.  Those votes presumably went to Biden which is how the election was stolen.  Trump challenged this so Willis needed to prosecute him, even for RICO.

To the extent I paid attention it, the case basically fell apart because she was having a workplace affair with the prosecutor.  She was required to drop out and nobody else was willing to take her place so the case was dropped, especially since they hadn't found anything guilty.  Since then it has come out that she was paying her boyfriend for working 160 hours a week which is impossible to do.

And now the actual fraud has started being exposed.  She said it was racist to challenge her on anything but she had to turn in financial documents to the court, probably trying to justify paying her married boyfriend.  These documents show that she received millions of dollars in campaign contributions, almost all of them from people who didn't list their names or address.  Georgia law says that's not required for donations less than $100 but these people donated many many times, and to many other Democrats, including but not limited to the DNC, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren and Hakeem Jeffries.

Willis isn't the problem, it's the giant operation to send in tons of money from officially-unknown sources.  This may be why the party is so obviously desperate because they've been part of it for so long.  That's not counting all the other financial scandals and the fact that governments they're in charge of keep losing so much money despite insanely-high taxes.  This is definitely the sort of thing Trump was elected to expose.  I'll continue to disagree with him if I see a reason but the only criticism here is that he's not going fast enough.

□ [“Trump Tasks Military With Venezuela ‘Oil Quarantine,’ Economic Pressure Over Military Action"]

Once again, Trump is showing that he's not after a war, despite what the left is reciting mindlessly.  He's sent the military there because it's better to have it ready and not need it than to need it and not have it ready.  They're preventing boats from getting in or out, so Venezuela is running out of places to store oil and tankers can't come in to get more.  That will be a huge hit and isn't even considering what else they have going in or out.

We'll also see what connections they have with other countries.  An Iranian-linked tanker has been stopped.  I'm guessing that China and Russia have voluntarily decided to drop out of helping their fellow BRICS partner which will cause even more problems for Venezuela.  I'm sure we have special forces on the ground, trying to start a rebellion - those of us who've been to Pine Land may remember how that works - but it's not about war.  The left doesn't understand that and Maduro may not either.

I just noticed that we officially started this blockade of oil tankers 10 days ago.  It wasn't hidden, Trump just announced to the world what we were doing and why.  There are valid military reasons why this might be false but I have to admit I'm impressed at the fact that he came out and said this.  Usually you just avoid the topic but he's just being upfront.  It probably also appeals to the showman in him.  We are doing other things that are kept secret - he recently told a reporter that when asked something about Venezuela - but I really like the intention to be as open as possible about this stuff.

□ [“Trump Goes Off After DOJ Finds 1 Million More Epstein Files – 'Release all of Their Names, Embarrass Them, and Get Back to Helping our Country'"]

So by now we can say that the whole delay was about embarrassing Democrats.  That's fine but I will admit that this doesn't seem to be that useful.  All of a sudden the SDNY has found another million documents on Epstein.  Is there any reason to think they're real?  Is there any reason to think they haven't been altered over all these years?  For that matter, why do they still exist?  And why should anybody believe any of this?

There doesn't seem to have been any change since a bunch of photos were released a week ago.  There are big names included, Bill, Hillary, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, probably others.  And there's files but of course there's lots of redaction.  That's definitely something I think we're all tired of.  It's also noted that these have all been "unclassified" documents.  The "classified" ones are still hidden from the public.  How convenient.

Some information is coming out.  One file shows emails between Epstein and Kathy Ruemmler, a high-level attorney that Obama was almost ready to pick for Attorney General.  It had to have been his second term, Obama's main AG was someone he was close to for a long time [ahem] but the emails between the two were long after Epstein was first charged with molesting children.  She knew and didn't care, interesting.  She even tried to help him just before his arrest in early 2019 so they were close, just like the Democrat congressman from the Virgin Islands.

□ [“Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas):  'I see the government shutting down' in January"]

This is from a discussion on a leftist site.  It's Christmas so of course they have nothing to do but talk about politics but there aren't many comments here.  But nobody agreed with her and most comments stated this would be a bad idea.  Some did say it would risk their otherwise-guaranteed victory in the mid-terms but that's about the closest they got to the concept.

I'm not sure how Democrats will go for this - won't they need 60 votes in the Senate? - but I am certain this is a general consensus among them.  Considering how optimistic they were about the shutdown a couple months ago, they don't seem to have found any lasting benefits.  I'm worried that Republicans will cave in and give them bribes to vote for the funding bill.  Otherwise, will they just order those who voted for it last time to go along again?

It's hard to believe, but the federal government has now been reopened longer than it was shut down.  It's not even mentioned anymore.  The left doesn't cite it as any victory.  They don't even remind us how we watched all those people die without a government.  It was this big deal that happened and they've already forgotten about it.  Even those in charge realize that there's no incentive to try it again.

□ [“Gavin Newsom Vows to Eradicate Homelessness in California for the 100th Time"]

He has a good chance for winning the nomination so far but there's already a video of him saying this over and over for years.  I don't know if California actually keeps track of how many homeless they have but it sounds like they have a lot more than they used to, even during the time he's been in charge.  The clips go back to 2009 when he was San Francisco mayor.  Homelessness does seem to be his priority.

With the other recent revelations from DOGE and Somalians, it does sound like this money is just being laundered.  It's been said that California's funding scandals are much worse than Minnesota's and that's quite believable.  So Nancy Pelosi's nephew and his people have just been scamming the taxpayer all these years.  Makes you wonder what they've been doing with all the money from the high-speed railray they were supposed to build.

Then there's all the homes built down in the fire over a year ago.  There are virtually no licenses to rebuild and even fewer have been able to start construction.  The Empire State Building took a little over a year to construct and they had to figure out what they were doing for the tallest building in the world.  California just needs to build some homes for rich people and can't even do that.  Traps are being set for Newsom and his only chance to win the nomination is to have opponents that are even less competent.

□ [“Impossible Terms in Zelensky's 20 Point Ukraine Peace Proposal"]

In a sane world everybody would see this as a joke.  It certainly has no chance of being accepted, it was just a way for highly-paid Ukraine officials to pretend they were doing something.  Wonder where that money came from.  So now we'll see what they come up with next when this fails.

The first problem is that it calls for an immediate ceasefire without working anything else out.  The EU has already promised to send in troops as soon as there's a ceasefire, you see the problem there?  So there's no reason for Russia to even look past that demand.  Good thing because the next one requires the US, Europe and NATO to come to Ukraine's defense for any future problems.  With all that, you'd think Ukraine would no longer need to join NATO but don't worry, they'll still be allowed to join NATO.

You might wonder where Europe would get any troops worth sending to Ukraine since they haven't bothered to rebuild their militaries.  Strange way to live, ranting about how Russia's right on their doorstep all these years and not bothering to have a defense but that's the EU for you.  And the US is still obligated to join in so they're in no hurry.  If the loser of the war gets all this, what does the winner get?

But it gets worse, US participation will be guaranteed even without Congress declaring war.  It's a little iffy and you could make arguments that we don't *have* to go through with it but these people are used to giving unelected globalists control over their military so they assume the US will do that without hesitation.  Maybe Trump won't but they're looking at when he's gone.  There will also be some unelected council overseeing this, Trump and his successor are also expected to be part of that and go along with the decisions.  Ukraine will also get $800 billion for reconstruction.

Russia gets *some* territory and that's all I can find as proof that they won the war.  I really can't tell if the EU and Zelensky are that desperate or if they genuinely think they got everything.  And as always, we have to worry that Trump will go along with this.

Trump Posts Ominous Christmas Message Savaging Democrats who Visited Epstein Island – “Enjoy What May be Your Last Merry Christmas!”
December 25, 2025

□ [“Joe Biden’s Family Christmas Photo Is So Awkward and Wrong"]

In families that aspire to aristocracy, when the oldest man is senile and worthless, it's tradition for his son to take over the family.  Normally it would be Beau but he's out in Las Vegas working with Moe Greene.  With Hunter suddenly speaking out, it's clear he's trying to replace his father.  He's at the center of the picture and had someone put some nice clothes on him.  Or actually learned to get dressed on his own.

Joe is barely visible.  I'm no good at determining if there was photoshop but it does look very fake.  At least a decent photoshop could have presented him at the center of the family, or at least appearing relevant.  At a family event @25 years ago, my grandfather had health problems so he had to leave and was added to the family picture later, it looked at least as real as this one and he was quite visible.

I think Hunter is trying to make himself look like the top dog now.  Everybody in the picture is directly connected to him - his kids, parents, sister - and the only males are his son and father.  After all these decades of hedonism, he's trying to look like a respectable adult.  He doesn't have anything to offer so it might be entertaining to watch him try.

□ [“Hunter Biden Whines He Has “No Clue” How to Pay Off $15 Million in Debt"]

More is coming out from his recent interview.  I guess few people paid attention to it so the commentary didn't all get released at once.  Hunter's complaining about his debt, suggesting it's all from legal issues, and apparently his family isn't supporting him.  He doesn't specifically say that either but they'd have enough money for him to move back home and obviously he's not doing that.  I'm curious where he's staying if he has no money but he probably keeps that secret.

I'm also guessing that the interviewer didn't ask why his painting sales suddenly dried up.  Maybe it's not the income he's used to but even if it's only a thousand dollars per painting, that's more than he has now so what's the problem?  I know if I could get a thousand dollars for a painting, I'd be trying to do as many as I could every week.  He might not see the problem himself so maybe someone should bring it up to him.  If he has no real friends, then this interviewer could do that.  Just a thought.

And what about the skills he displayed to get money from Ukraine and Russia just after their previous war?  Those talents couldn't be so limited to only being useful at that time in that location.  His specific salary is unknown and varied over time but it was still many thousands of dollars every single month.  Whatever it was he brought to Burisma, surely there are other companies that need it too.  Again, maybe he wouldn't get as much money, but it would be *something,* more than he has now.

This may be the last part of Hunter's story, using him to find out what these elitists did to the world.  He clearly had nothing to bring to the world, only his family name.  And it wasn't even that, his dad was the only relevant member of the family.  No one's looking at him and saying 'that's Beau's brother!' or 'that's Neilia's son!'  And there's a lot more out there like that where the kids have nothing.  Chelsea Clinton, Obama's kids, quite possibly Trump's kids, just to name a few.  But Hunter can help expose what the elite's lives are like for the druggie younglings with nothing else to do.  Someone just needs to point out that he might be paid for revealing all this.

□ [“ICE Agents in Maryland Open Fire on Driver Who Attempts to Run Them Over"]

This is attempted murder and the driver is very stupid about it.  You tried to kill them, they have every right to kill you back and only their training and position would prevent them from doing that.  It also suggests the mentality of the people who do this.  I'm guessing the driver - who has been completely unidentified - did not consciously decide to get in his van and start driving around looking for people to kill, specifically ICE agents.

He - I'm assuming he's a he - was just driving somewhere and saw them, so he spontaneously decided this was a good idea.  No self-control or discipline, he certainly didn't consider what the results would be if this didn't work.  They did shoot him so he crashed the van, unfortunately he is still alive.  If he's willing to do this here in public, what do you think he'll do at home when his girlfriend gets mouthy?

□ [“Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Says ICE Agents May Get 'Killed' if They Continue Raids"]

And they are trying to spread this mentality as much as possible.  I keep wondering how this is effectively different from getting a suicide bomber but it also occurs to me that this is closer to the stereotype of 'fascism' that they accuse others of doing.  They're ordering their troops to go out and kill the enemy with no plans, no preparation, often no training or even weapons.  It's little more than 'if you see them, attack.  Because we say so.'

The actual military realizes that its troops are individuals, these people are just collectivist at heart.  And expendable.  So ok, they've got the stupid people who don't know anything better than this and that will last for quite a while.  But where will you find replacements?  Who's going to grow up to say 'I want to be like that guy who tried and failed to run over people with a van'?  As opposed to 'I want to be like those people who can think and act quickly when someone tries to kill them.

□ [“Is Court Hiding Outrageous Psychiatric Drug 'Treatment' Sealing Nick Reiner's Medical Records?"]

Probably.  I haven't paid much attention to this but what we've heard looks like a Hollywood cover-up.  Maybe they're hiding something or maybe it's just normal.  Nick was a druggy most of his life, he and his parents were arguing at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party.  A lot of A-list celebrities were there but I'm not aware of anybody being named.

There's certainly been no pix of the argument from a cell phone.  No idea if it's true but it's rumored that they just weren't allowed to have cellphones there, probably to avoid any evidence getting out of what went on at the party.  I'm guessing nobody wants to testify in court about what led up to this.  For that matter, nobody wants to be asked why they didn't do anything to help.

As always, I assume there's something malevolent going on here and as usual, we'll never learn the truth.  That's why I think Nick is going to vanish as soon as possible.  I'm thinking of fellow Californian Nancy Pelosi's example, where you can just walk into her very rich house in your underwear and go straight to jail for decades, don't pass GO, don't collect $200.  Nick might be jailed for life, liberals may suddenly support the death penalty for him or he may take the Jeffrey Epstein way out.

Trump’s Christmas Eve Call with Troops Abruptly Cut Off

□ [“Blue States Sue Trump Administration Over Gender Affirming Care"]

They had dropped all the noise about this but they're still promoting the trans agenda.  This is working its way through the judicial system.  California made a law to keep trans kids secret from their parents, a federal judge has struck that down so the fight will continue.  I'm sure they'll all be appealed and eventually land at the Supreme Court so there's more to worry about.

The trans movement is trying to make a comeback.  In the last month or so, I've heard more rhetoric about how we're required to comply with whatever made-up pronouns someone else wants than I've heard since the election.  As I've mentioned, it was already dwindling a year ago.  People wouldn't put up with that for long anyway and with all the trans psychos shooting people these days, it's not going to help.

I'm not sure how the conflicts between the courts and with the trans movement are connected, but it's interesting that now 'freedom of speech' gets added to the argument.  It's not freedom of speech to force people to use a pronoun you invented yesterday, they can call you whatever they want and if you're offended, that's your problem.  That's how 'freedom of speech' works and it's why we have a 1st Amendment.  People are nice enough to have put up with these pretend genders for a while but that's over now.
