□ [“Trump Announces Major Diesel Agreement with Russia After Latest Phone Call with Putin"]

Now we're up to something that doesn't look good on any side.  I don't get why we'd need or want Russian oil when we already have other sources.  I'd rather they not ship it over the Arctic so that leaves the Pacific or Europe.  The Pacific might be the least-bad of the options but Europe still needs oil.  If we're cutting them off, that means Europe is in a much much worse situation than we expected, to the point where Russia invading might be the best option there.

Then there's Russia's side of it, they already have plenty of customers, especially China.  They could suck up to Trump for a couple years but I don't see any large benefits from that which they couldn't get elsewhere.  It seems like a big deal with no real upside to anyone except maybe the investors in the oil companies.  Now Ukraine has reportedly bombed an oil terminal in the Black Sea which was part of the deal.

It's a legitimate target but it doesn't do anything to stop the invaders or help Ukraine which is the point of fighting a war.  They also hit the terminal in July when the deal was presumably being negotiated.  Then there's the fact that we have to assume all this is true.  Any part of it could be fiction and there are reasons it could be a lie from Russia, Ukraine, Trump or any other party.  Trump's already attacked Zelensky for this and says Ukraine needs a new president.  Which they do but he's not giving up power so there you go.

Maybe the deal is a sham to sucker Zelensky into this somehow.  That's the closest I can get to a relevant point to any of this and it still only leads vague speculation.  Russia works with Trump against China, Ukraine can't get any help from Europe, ok, so what?  I've been going through my coverage of the war for the last four years and it's clearly a center-point of the globalist agenda but even that is still unclear as far as what they're doing or why.  They funneled a lot of foreign aid money for this war but we don't know who got it and Trump making an oil deal with Russia won't improve the situation.

□ [“Pope Leo XIV Declares Death Penalty 'Inadmissible' as US Prepares to Execute Fort Hood Jihadist"]

In case you needed another reason to support the death penalty.  I mostly support it but there are valid reasons to disagree and even more reasons to assume it's being used improperly.  My main point is that it must be immediate, no torture.  If you're dead in five seconds, the pain isn't much of a problem.  If it takes a minute or two, or longer, that's wrong and any government that pushes it should be overthrown.  It's not about the criminal being punished, it's about the state doing the punishing.

Nidal Malik Hasan was one of those Muslims who went bonkers for Obama, killing 13 soldiers and wounding 32 others at Fort Hood in November 2009.  This is one of those things where I wouldn't even see the death penalty as an option, why wasn't he just shot on sight?  'You did this?  You're dead.'  BANG  It's a f*cking military base and the war was still very-ongoing under Obama.

The execution is going to be broadcast live on December 3.  Here's your chance to actually watch someone die.  No idea if I'll watch it live but I'm sure I'll see the footage soon after.  The point being made is that this will happen to you if you do things like this.  It's supposed to be unsettling so that's understandable.  The US doesn't do things like this so the novelty is making it a bigger deal than it should be, that's probably my main problem here.  If it happened at least a few times a year, more murderers being executed, this wouldn't be that big of a deal.  The fundamental argument against the government ordering your death will never go away and it never should.

You know you're getting old when you realize how long it's been since you've given any thought to stuff you used to pay close attention to.  It's been ten years since the Russia hoax.  A suit like this was always a problem because it looks like political retaliation, there's just no way it can't look like that.  There's also the statute of limitations - and why the f*ck do they have things like that on cases like this? - but Trump has about the best argument imaginable, he was busy serving as POTUS to file it earlier.  But that hasn't worked in lower courts which is why he's asking the SCOTUS.

I assume they'll reject it just because they can.  They've agreed with Trump more than I'd expected with the usual 6-3 verdicts but they can always find an exception so here it is.  Then we'll have to relive that flood of material we'd all forgotten about.  In theory it's possible that the last decade of revelations have changed things and a lot more people are willing to look into this.  But it's also possible monkeys might fly out of my butt.

Even if by some miracle the SCOTUS actually agrees to hear this, nothing's going to happen.  There's a convenient list of all the horrific things of the last decade that's been investigated and not a single person gets punished for.  Hunter Biden's laptop, Dr. Fauci making bioweapons with China, Hillary's insecure private server, the Epstein files, just to name a few.  Despite everything else he's done, Trump will always be considered a failure in some ways simply for promising all these revelations.  We're halfway through his second term and still haven't gotten any of that.  But the SCOTUS will reject this hearing anyway so never mind.

□ [“Nobel Peace Prize Goes to Former UN Human Rights Chief Who Hates Israel"]

I hadn't even noticed, I thought it would be a few more months before the announcement.  I guess I really thought they'd just go for the obvious and give it to Trump but apparently not.  This South African seems to self-identify is female but could pick any gender and no one would notice a difference.  I haven't even seen an announcement of the prize, only complaints about it - I'm taking the above news headline from an article about the complaints - so I have no clue what... she... is getting one.

Her wikipedia page says she's been part of the UN for over thirty years and her accomplishments include the claim that rape is genocide, which it's not, and to blame the media.  She did both of these regarding Rwanda in the 90s.  She's spent the last decade or so attacking Israel and the Nobel citation mentions actually no achievements in the last year.  It does point out that wars and conflicts are increasing and international law is being attacked so that's all the justification this "peace prize" needs.

That's not really a reason for a Nobel prize.  This is going to make Obama and Arafat's awards look like a good idea by comparison.  It's all about pushing globalism and the hatred of Jews, which is always linked for some reason but it just lowers the standards so much that it's all laughable.  I don't remember the details, probably anti-Israel, but the year after giving Obama the award, the committee made a point of realizing that they needed to find someone who actually did something to earn the prize.  They're not going to do that this time.  The Nobel is now effectively irrelevant permanently, all because Trump wanted one.  If peace means giving Trump an award, you'd rather have war.  So here you go.

□ [“Aerosmith & Friends]

The band that's been around for over fifty years is finally at the end of the line.  It's not official, there's no promotion like Ozzy had that this is the end of the road, but that's clearly what they're doing here.  They're too old to keep going.  Steven Tyler's medical issues made them announce in 2024 that touring was permanently over.  He's made a few live appearances since, showing that he can still sing, but everybody just took it as a given that they wouldn't be going out again.

In Tyler's case, he may be busy.  I've noticed more attention has been given lately to his 15-year old girlfriend back in the early-80s.  He may be busy answering questions to do anything else.  That's another reason this is similar to Ozzy, he died a day or so after his big show.  Nobody has mentioned 'assisted suicide' but that's obviously what happened.  Tyler may be setting up that same ending.

Another similarity is that they made sure to bring back drummer Joey Kramer.  He was kicked out a year or two before the touring ended, my impression is that he was just too old to handle that physical labor anymore.  If I was in charge I'd have kept him there to play tambourine or something but he has to be there, he's the one who came up with the band's name.  Ozzy made a point of bringing back Bill Ward for the finale, Black Sabbath's least-relevant member.

As a show, I'm not that interested.  As an Aerosmith fan, I'm glad that these guys get a decent send-off.  I might see some clips after the show, and maybe some of the listed 'friends' but it's not that big a deal.  I will admit interest in how these big rock acts are at a point where they can still do this with all the relevant members.  Off the top of my head, Led Zeppelin is the only major band that could have that sort of finale.  Jimmy Page even has the same underage girlfriend issues as Tyler.  There's also Guns'n'Roses, who still has all their original members alive, and the same underage girlfriend issues, "My Michelle."

It's also curious how this suddenly came together.  The shows were just announced and they're only three weeks away.  Could somebody be getting ready for a Halloween surprise?

UK Labor Party Holds Keir Starmer’s old Seat — Questions Remain about its new Somalian MP
October 9, 2026

Speaking of Guns'n'Roses, their part in the Aerosmith finale may also be moving their story to the next chapter.  The 'smith announced the show and the list of 'friends' and I was surprised to see Duff McKagen listed fairly high on the list.  It makes sense that he'd be there but as a solo artist?  And then a couple lines down, there's Slash.  They're both there but not together and without the band that they're supposed to be members of?

A day or so later, it got changed so yes, Guns'n'Roses will be there, that big band who used to open for Aerosmith when both sides were at their peak.  Aerosmith were desperately trying to stay away from drugs on the Permanent Vacation tour and G'n'R, well, weren't.  Appetite for Destruction hit #1 on Billboard during that tour, a year after it had been released and by all accounts both bands did well together, personally and professionally.  So why weren't G'n'R automatically on the list for this final show?

Most likely it's because of Axl Rose.  He's spent decades surrounded by toadies who keep the real world away as much as possible.  Axl's only public statement in years came several months ago when he had to testify in court and admitted to not even knowing he was legally the CEO of the band's businesses.  He didn't even see why it was a big deal.  Neither did Fernando, his "partner" for lack of a better word who also testified under oath about his ignorance of who ran the businesses he and Axl set up.

So my guess is Aerosmith asked G'n'R to take part in the show and got no answer.  I'm curious if Slash and Duff received the same invitation or if Aerosmith's management contacted them separately.  Of course they were glad to take part and were probably more willing to explain dealing with Axl to Aerosmith than to the G'n'R audience.  So that's what they did, you see Duff's name on the list, ok.  Then Slash, huh?  Axl's people probably had the same reaction so they needed to find out what's going on and then inform Axl and ask if he wanted to be there too.

This reveals one problem in the G'n'R franchise which will lead to the next problem.  Axl's vocals are gone.  They're worse than pathetic, they're embarrassing to be part of songs that are still pretty cool.  And that's all he had aside from his skills as a front-man back in the day.  Now he's old and his weight goes up and down but he's in no danger of ever being skinny again.  The band's last tour wasn't selling stadiums and he certainly can't put out any new music.  But now he suddenly has to get ready to do something quickly?  This is Axl Rose we're talking about.

I haven't heard anything about his performance at the Ozzy concert but G'n'R ticket sales have dropped since then.  So it's possible that a bad performance for Aerosmith will make things even worse.  I'm still amazed that they've gotten away with it for all these years but I'm wondering if that's over now.  Given their origins in the drug and sex world of Los Angeles and all the connections from there, I think they've funneled a lot of money around to the wrong people and now the bill is becoming due.  Axl will find out how many people around him were only there for their own reasons and who actually ran the business.

□ [“'Our Body Our Choice ASF' Jane Doe Texts She 'Really Liked' Gangbang but Caught 'Heat' in Cornell Gossip"]

The attention is already going away.  The longer this goes on, the more you have to ignore what she actually said.  And that makes you look bad to anyone who does know what she said.  It becomes very clear to others that you're ignoring the truth to push your own political agenda, which depends on false accusations against others.

It's still too early to see what effect this is really having but my guess is the majority of people are normal and want nothing to do with this.  A leftist site I pay attention to has mostly ignored this and I suspect it's because most posters are old white people.  At some level even they know what young women are like so it's easier to just ignore this unless at some point it becomes useful to them.

The ripples keep growing just around the case itself.  Lucy Craig's lawyer is filing lawsuits against the frat boys - not sure if it's a group or as individuals or what - and picked the wrong guy who had the same name with one of them.  He was in the Marines and was deployed when the incident happened and the lawyer didn't put the slightest effort into seeing if he was the right guy.  That's a pretty big level of incompetence to pick a random stranger to attack for some for of "justice," especially in a case with this much attention.

They're still trying to build this into some political weapon.  NY governor Kathy Hochul - who replaced Andrew Cuomo after he resigned for sexual harassment - and AG Letitia James - who tried to persecute Trump for anything, including massive financial charges that went up day by day and also breaks tax laws for her own properties have appointed - have appointed Sally Yates, who helped on Russiagate and fought to protect the Clinton Foundation from investigation.  All of these self-identify-as-females have nothing better to do than investigate Cornell right now.  James has already posted on Facebook that she supports the female accuser so you know how unbiased they are.

This will keep growing.  I think the reaction is getting louder too.  I've noticed a lot more social media posts from (have to assume they're) men and sane women openly disagreeing with this rhetoric.  From females, they're speaking out that this is the wrong way to go.  That probably means more to their opponents just because of gender.  From males, I've noticed it's a range of comments.  Sometimes it's serious argument, sometimes interesting observation, sometimes it's just funny, making a comment that there's no reason to think they believe but just watch the reaction.  This will continue.

These are still going on.  I always ignore French riots so I don't know if this is the usual practice, if these are different somehow or if the reporters just want us to think they're different somehow.  Leftists and Muslims are teamed up, just like Iran 50 years ago, but we've also seen that happening for years.  There's a reason US Muslims vote Democrat.

We don't know how the French public will react.  There's a video running of people at a cafe chatting or playing on their cellphones while behind them, rioters set fire to stuff.  It's a living version of that meme of a cartoon dog sitting in a room on fire and saying "This is fine."  This does not help the stereotype about what the French have been reduced to.

I think the effect will be men going on strike.  I don't know how that'll work, and it's France so they don't work anyway, but I do suspect that's what each nation is dealing with.  They're supposed to have a reputation for the people showing that they can get rid of their leaders and once upon a time they were able to fight off invaders.  But I gotta admit, compared to Spain, Britain, Italy or Germany, I think France is the big nation closest to death right now.

I haven't been paying attention to the WNBA because, well, it's the WNBA.  To the extent I couldn't avoid all the headlines, it looked like the star player was purged.  I think she was the white chick who made a couple statements about not wanting to compete with men which is what started this recent hysteria.  I had wondered if it was all a stunt to increase the ratings and maybe it was.  It's also possible it was about pushing the *woke* agenda and ratings are just a convenient way to measure that.

It's too soon to tell but it sounds like it's not working.  The ratings plummeted.  If that was all it was, I wouldn't be that interested because come on, it's the WNBA.  I've also seen a couple news stories about recent movie failures.  Today somebody I never heard of had a complete failure, the movie was totally woke, heavily promoted and it's only been out a few weeks but it's already almost gone.  That's something I'd be even less interested in than the WNBA.  But then I noticed that there's also been a number of recent articles about the new Tom Cruise movie being his biggest bomb ever.

That one threw me, Cruise has been a big star for most of my life.  I've seen very few of his movies and I'm sure he's had box office bombs before but this one is getting attention.  Did his audience suddenly ditch him?  I don't know how scientology fits into that - something else we don't hear about much anymore - but it looks like suddenly people aren't showing up where they were expected to and the powers-that-be weren't ready for that.

I can't stop wondering if this is what we're seeing with Lindsay Clancy and Lucy Clark, maybe I should just call them LC2 or LCLC for convenience.  Anyway it might be that a lot of people have suddenly woken up to the propaganda being pushed on them.  Way too early to make that determination but this is several events happening in short-order and that's an understandable reaction.  People refuse to participate in a lot of this stuff anymore.  If that continues, the leftist elites are finished, even if they somehow succeed in stealing the mid-term elections.

□ [“Minnesota AG Keith Ellison:  Trump Will Try to Steal Midterms, Leftists Must ‘Take the Streets’"]

I can see a few different motivations here.  It's standard leftist rhetoric, *the man* is always trying to oppress us so we need to fight back.  It could also be a belief that they're guaranteed to win so they need to get ready for the next step in the revolution.  There's also a worry that they might lose because all the options for voter fraud have been taken away from them.

Obviously I'm hoping for that last possibility.  For the last two years, the right has had an immense relief at seeing we aren't the minority.  Major wins next month would confirm that.  Even if the left manages to win somehow, we're still here and we see they're the problem.  But if they lose, what are they supposed to do next?

Take to the streets?  Come on, that's not a plan.  If they start attacking people and burning buildings, they'll get shot.  If they don't even have enough energy to do that, then what?  Stand around on a street corner and whine about how oppressed they are?  We've been seeing that for the last year, they'll just have slightly bigger crowds of old white people this time around.  They going to order blacks and mexicans to do all the dirty work for them?  They going to call China or Russia and beg for bioweapons?

This could be the tipping point and it's starting to look like that will happen.  Of course I had a similar opinion on Election Night 2020 and look how that turned out.  Basically you have to pick those who side with Trump or those who side with Ellison and that's an easy choice right there, as they demonstrate every day.  The earliest reports of election results are trending towards Republicans, for whatever that's worth.

Did you at least reimburse them for all the money they had to spend defending themselves?  Maybe send them a 'get out jail free' card with a note saying they can call you if they need more?  I respect the idea in theory but we need to see how this connects to reality.  Their people actively want to do that to you and the rest of us, what are you doing to punish them?

I get that there are limitations, even to government.  I assume previous administrations wanted to go after Trump a lot more than they did.  I don't remember if it was the Mar-a-Lago raid but one instance had several judges refusing to approve of it and the administration had to go through a bunch of hoops to finally find someone to sign off.  I'm not even saying you have to make it easier for government to attack people but you need to make it more clear what the limitations are.  You can't say it's just about the presidency, Hillary was never POTUS unless you know something you're not telling us.

I always come from a military perspective on this so I'm trying to figure out how this works for the CinC.  I was never an officer, I almost-never dealt with anybody above battalion commander and usually tried to avoid dealing with them so I have only vague speculations on their position.  There are certain types of authority during a time-of-war which the military needs to remain trained for.  There are probably more options in a 'state of emergency' which the POTUS can declare for whatever reason.  There would be consistent policies from one guy doing the job and being replaced by the next guy.  But that's where my speculation runs out, wtf would there be no major consequences on the official who crosses specific lines?

I'm not even expecting Trump to solve the problem, I just want a change of pace where he specifically identifies it.  Without that, nobody can do anything, or even prepare for what will happen next.  Just detailing how even if Democrats take power they'll be strangled by the bureaucracy or else will need to spend all their time purging it, that would be something.  As always, even when I'm in a pro-Trump mode, he finds a way to let us down.  Even worse, it's always about him, the only one who can do anything.

□ [“Workers at Barack Obama presidential center are already so fed up they're leaving in droves"]

Obama has almost completely fallen off the radar.  I saw this headline and had to check if the center had ever opened because that's how forgettable it is.  Turns out it opened last June and is having major problems with workers.  Not just the construction crews that weren't paid, not just the Chicago neighborhood that lost its park to let the Obama's build this, but the people Obama actually hired to run this place.

A lot of them have already quit.  They're being charged more for healthcare and...  Wait, what?  But Obama promised...  Oh never mind.  They're also getting less paid time-off and they won't get pay raises this winter.  The workers believe they don't get a say in anything so they're forming a union.

Again, what?  Shouldn't leftist businesses be formed with unions already in place?  Or at least prepared to have unions form?  Or just pay your workers so bloody much money that they never ever want to unionize?  But somehow none of those options are available here.  The leftist leader and his highly-paid staff don't want any of that.

I'm guessing they're not getting a whole lot of visitors.  IIRC their ticket prices are higher than other presidential libraries so if people were showing up, there'd be enough money to fix most of these problems.  Well, once they get around to paying the construction companies anyway.  Otherwise this would just be sinking tons of money every day.  Maintenance of such a huge building in Chicago can't be cheap.  There's the employees, the lawyers, the highly-paid administrators.  Who knows how much Obama is being paid for this place?

So this could have a hilarious ending and it'll probably happen soon.  Nobody will want to keep wasting money on this.  My guess is Obama has very little to do with this place but it's still under his name and he's supposed to be a leader so what's he going to do?  There must be countless extra rules for a presidential library so it's not like Al Gore's radio network, he can't just sell it to Saudi Arabia.  Probably can't just rent out the ground floor to businesses like they do at Trump Tower.  But then what?  You just have this giant shack in Chicago, devoted to a guy who used to be popular.  Even the homeless wouldn't want to go up more than a few floors.  But the union people will just go look for other jobs, not working for a 'community organizer.'

New York can't even follow its own law on raising minimum wage because the economy is so bad but she automatically thinks she can impose this on everybody anyway.  Of course she doesn't give any details, it's just one thing on the list to be imposed, Medicare for all, something about "genocide" with no clue what she's talking about.  Yeah, they'll get right on that, as soon as they have total power.

There's no way to know what specifically is going on but Democrats are clearly having a struggle with the trans movement.  They need to pretend they care but at the same time, they realize that almost nobody else does.  This is the effect of that 80-20 policy Trump has been using to great success.  The more Democrats support trans, the less support they get, but they still need it included.

And this is New York, a solid blue state.  Even worse, that means the party can't get many candidates who realize this is a problem, they need those who just go along with what they're told.  But that means they aren't effective candidates and certainly can't have any personality people might notice.  Effectively they're just billboards but you're supposed to vote for them anyway.  And meanwhile, New York's economy and crime gets worse because that's how leftists want it.

The crowd wasn't silent, they did laugh some.  Really it's the comparison with her laughter that makes this point.  All she said was “Please remember to shower.”  A brief chuckle would have been enough but she didn't stop there.

My first reaction was 'is she drunk?'  Then I realized that this is usually the reaction people have to a public statement from Harris.  Not totally public, the media had been banned from this event - but it's bad when Trump does that - but she does that a lot.  Then I realized we ask that about Nancy Pelosi a lot too.  And Hillary Clinton.  Any others?  Then I remembered the case people are currently arguing about where women aren't responsible for what they do when drunk or on drugs.  It happened at an elite liberal college, like most of these women went to.

So this made me wonder if even this audience is having a similar reaction to most people from the Cornell incident.  Getting drunk could be what Harris needed to go through to get along with Biden or to get a political job in the first place.  Hillary could have needed booze to deal with her husband and all his friends.  Joe Biden's two living children needed drugs to get by.  The more you think about it, the more you realize that these people look like they're doing this regularly.  Hollywood stars, they're all involved.  Tech companies?  Trump's been connected to all these people for decades.

That's what these people could be realizing has been imposed on all of us.  The uniparty has a lot of experience with this and are dug very deeply into society so they can't just change their ways overnight.  They'd need to purge a lot of these people to make it look like they've learned a lesson.  I haven't commented on AOC's recent comment about "woke 2" but it did look like she's signaling that sort of change is underway.  It might just be getting rid of the 'old guard' but that takes a lot of work to be convincing.  At least if you're sober.

The problem with being burnt so many times is that it's really hard to actually support anybody.  Sooner or later you expect them to fail, or worse, to betray you.  Looking back, I said very little about Rubio before he became SoS and most of what I did say was just putting him in a list of candidates to make some unrelated point.  Checking my comments in early 2025, they're generally supportive but that may have just been surprise that we'd been able to last that long.  Little about Rubio himself.

Which is fine, his job is not be an individual, he's the secretary of state working for Trump 2.0.  And I do support that.  He's made decisions I don't like - I'm too lazy to look up what they are at the moment - but that's the nature of the job.  The fact that he makes a speech like this in front of the Acropolis is a big deal and not just for the US.  I assume he's doing something business-related, that's why he stopped by, but he's in Athens, he's at the Acropolis, their history influenced the Mediterranean, and then the world.  He pushes for nationalism and for Europe to finally wake up.

Unfortunately we don't live in a world where someone gives a big speech and that can always be pointed to as the turning point where victory became inevitable.  Even if we could, I doubt this would qualify.  But if we're lucky, it will be another step in that direction.  But we really could use some undeniable wins at this point.

El-Sayed is running for Senator of Michigan so he needs to convince a lot of voters.  The left already believes they're a vast majority so partially they don't need to work that hard and partially they need to check all the boxes and not piss anybody off.  El-Sayed already has problems with that, people who don't like socialism, who don't want Muslims in charge.  He isn't winning the black vote which is always crucial for Democrats.

Piker is constantly referred to these days but I haven't paid enough attention to know what-all he does.  My impression is that he comes off as a generic leftist, just with a racial/religious quirk that makes him "special."  He's bought into it, he already sees himself as a huge star, the kind that gets offended when he's not covered in praise and adoration by everyone he meets.  No evidence but my impression is people like him are where the stereotype 'do you know who I am???' came from.

Democrats have spent a long time trying to build these power structures.  Michigan went for Trump two years ago, it's already problematic that leftists believe everything has changed to favor them now.  We can't tell if these two are fundamentally opposed to each other or if it's more about current strategy.  Piker thinks he can do this for a lot of politicians and has a lot of influence, whoever's backing him obviously agrees with that.  They already know what the public thinks, they just need us to obey.

□ [“Sign of Desperation?  Democrats Send Barack Obama to Michigan to Campaign for Abdul El-Sayed"]

I don't know if it'll make any difference.  Obama was never good at endorsing anybody but himself and his popularity was the sort that required constant attention.  He doesn't do public events so his fans move on.  You can argue that he's not really hurting his reputation by staying out of things for the most part but that means he's just sitting in his mansion and only once-in-a-while coming out to tell us he supports poor people.

So Obama supporters would already be voting for El-Sayed and there's not a whole lot of others who would suddenly get involved because he shows up now.  But maybe they have some options in Michigan the rest of us don't see.  I'm not even talking about voter fraud, if they had that as an option, they don't need Obama.  If Obama is part of the deal - no Obama, no fraud - then why isn't he used more often?  I don't really see how that could work so that just leaves desperation.

The 'Muslim socialist' wing of the party is trying to take a lot of power very quickly.  It doesn't sound like they're doing well although as always, there's no reason to be optimistic.  If so many people agree with them that Orange Man Bad, then they don't need the help.  Or they could at least admit those supporters are incompetent and that's why they need to call Obama in to keep them in line.

Why not send Obama and Michelle on a 50-state tour?  There's less than 50 days left so they'd need to do a couple states in two days but they're devoted to the cause, right?  They're popular, right?  And then celebrate election night at his 'library' in Chicago.  Hell, if none of the Avengers have anything going on, bring them along to help like they did for Harris.  But no, they're focused on this one guy in Michigan because everything is so fine.

□ [“It's Official:  Paramount Closes $81 Billion Warner Bros. Discovery Takeover"]

I've only been watching this as a distant observer, I'm not that interested except on a few minor aspects.  To the extent I care about the merger itself, I'm opposed to it just because I don't think we need such gigantic companies getting even bigger.  But that said, the same capitalism that allows them to exist in the first place also made that possible so you can't have one without the other.  The millionaires complaining about billionaires don't realize this.

Just the fact that so many governments were involved in this merger is a bigger problem.  I can accept that government is the one who keeps records on a business being established and functioning within the law but I think this merger had to go through all 50 states and countless other countries.  That sounds ridiculous as a concept although I guess the company needs to do business in each state and has to comply, and each country, even as it maintains the overall company policy.  Now that I think about it, if these executives and lawyers are capable of pulling that off, they're going to be a lot more effective at doing their jobs than any government officials.  This also mean they can push an *agenda.*

As with everything else, the world is very topsy-turvy here so it's really not clear what's going to be done with these companies.  Notice that all the attention goes to their media properties and none of the other businesses run by these conglomerates.  I'm not complaining, that's all I focus on too, but most of their major properties are going to become public property soon.  A.I. is going to make it possible for anyone to create stories with them.  The digital movement has done everything it can to remove physical copies of the work and the *woke* movement is trying to erase anything that still exists.  Some of us will yearn back to a simpler time when we didn't have such giant companies overseeing our lives and economy, and we could rely on the decency of AOL/Time-Warner.

□ [“Now Will the Islamic Republic Finally Run Out of Money?"]

The attention to the Iran war has virtually vanished.  I think even the left has realized that nothing is going on which means it's not that big of a deal.  At this point we're just waiting for the mullahs to be removed and it sounds like that's getting very close.  Iran can't even ship oil through the Strait anymore.  Saudi and Yemen are actively fighting the Houthis.  Rumors are growing that Iranians are finally willing to stand up against their oppressors.  The impression is that the regime is desperate to negotiate a peace agreement and Trump's not going for it.

And just a note, gas prices are slowly dropping.  That's always good and we'd like it to be faster but that said, it's obviously happening now and will just keep dropping.  Venezuela and Trump's deals with oil companies in January 2025 are probably the main cause but soon Iran will be included.  The Muslim world is against them and China and Russia have stayed out entirely, at least in public.  Whatever complaints Trump deserves, he does set up things like this.

And he did it without troops on the ground, other than small special forces units.  A lot of people in the regime must be looking for their escape route and the most obvious option would be to help the people revolt.  Or run to the nearest US ship and surrender.  It's irritating how long this has taken but the tide has clearly turned.  We'll see how much effect that has on Muslims in the west and their liberal counterparts.

□ [“Texas Mother Charged with Attempted Capital Murder for Stabbing Husband and Two Babies"]

There's been an increasing number of stories like this in the last several weeks.  I deliberately haven't reported on them because I wanted to see if this was really a trend.  But I've had enough, ok, it's really a thing women are doing because they can.  I doubt they even ask if they'll get away with it or not, they just try to murder their husband and kids.

I think there's been one instance of a man murdering wife and kids, or trying to.  Because I'm not keeping track, I don't remember if he succeeded or killed himself afterwards.  At least one of the women did that.  The only specific cause for this I can identify is leftism, just a spontaneous urge to destroy everything in front of you, regardless of the consequences.  We see this in Muslim suicide bombers too, they have religion and most of them are men so that makes a difference.

Feminism is probably the most obvious thing to blame, the nature of women.  That's probably true but I'll hold back on that to give it a bit more thought.  Because why is this all happening now?  The left is desperate.  They've lost their government funding, Iran isn't helping (along with China and Russia.)  Men are tired of providing everything yet always being the bad guys.  Orange Man Bad and there's an upcoming election happening so do your thing.  And so these women do just that.

There is a collective structure here.  Men don't get it because we see things as simple ranks, who's in charge of this group.  It's different for women but it's not clear how.  There's the one who disagrees, she's the outcast.  It's usually clear who's in charge but not always and it can change.  Those who are rich and famous have been able to push this down to their subordinates, thanks to mass media and the internet.  So then there's the part where rank and feminism do show up, some women just go bonkers and we see that here.

This is what's coming out now.  Men see this and realize that all these decades of 'gender equality' were lies.  Some men will go along, that's how the rank structure works, but most of us will real life day-to-day evidence that this can't function any more and will refuse to take part.  No way to know how many women are actually sensible but those who are will see the best way to go and it's not with the women who are all-of-a-sudden murdering people.

□ [“Make Brazil Great Again:  Bolsonaro Tops Lula"]

Apparently a lot of South American countries have gotten rid of their leftist leaders in the last year and a half.  It's been noted that USAID funding stopped just before this got started.  Probably not a coincidence, it probably also helped with grabbing Maduro ten months ago.  I notice we haven't heard anything about Venezuela since then.

We also haven't heard much from Cuba.  They're having big problems but it's not clear what they're doing.  My impression was that the Cuban rulers were willing to cave in so long as they could stay in charge.  Cuba has been the center of leftist globalism for decades so there's obviously a lot of connection but we aren't being told what's going on.  More connections to Venezuela, I'm sure.

Then there's Mexico, another major point for this just because of their long border with the US.  Not just the land, there's also the long stretch of water, the Pacific and the Gulf of [insert name].  That's not even considering the history of Mexico and their leaders.  That needs to be handled although I don't know how anything can be done.

Notice that Canada's mostly been ignored under Trump 2.0.  There are the tariffs but there's clearly internal struggle.  Some provinces are trying to become independent and the national leaders are desperate to find someone else to rely on.  They're aiming for the EU, despite providing nothing for Europe.  They're staying quiet but I'm guessing something is building up north as well.  The Monroe Doctrine is not over, the Americas are our turf.

Brooklyn Teacher Under Investigation for Social Media Posts Praising Hamas Architect of October 7 Massacre

□ [“AG Todd Blanche Exposes Merrick Garland’s Weaponization to Label School Parents ‘Domestic Terrorists’"]

The Department of Education used the National School Boards Association to push the *woke* agenda, as seen in a memo from July 2021.  Garland was already telling the FBI to go after parents who disagree with the Covid vaccine or Critical Race Theory.  His son-in-law was selling books to schools that said 'whiteness is the devil's work.'  Well that was in a book also promoted in schools at the time, I don't know if that's what his son-in-law got millions of dollars for selling schools.

The trans movement was the most obvious beneficiary for this but it doesn't look like that was the main goal, at least not to Garland and his people.  I just looked at my coverage of July 2021 and they clearly wanted power, that was the real point.  Schools are a very convenient way to do that and the left had already infiltrate the DoE from the top down so the point was to just do more of that.

Unfortunately our response will be 'and nobody's going to jail for this.'  That is true and it is a consistent problem.  But after the events of the last couple weeks, this is where we might see the tide turning.  I don't think it'll be a direct response, 'what are you doing to our kids?  Drugging them, gang-banging them and punishing us?'  But it won't be far off and it will encourage more challenges to the narrative.  Effectively taking the people who went nuts over Lindsay Clancy and Lucy Craig and turning them around to see people like Garland.  Now that would be a show worth watching.

I'm sure there will be more.  I haven't followed the revelations about the Jack Smith investigations of Trump and all the people he was spying on but Garland had appointed him to do that.  I don't think these instances themselves are particularly relevant but they show a connection and that continues to the rest of the *woke* agenda and everything imposed in 2021-2024, along with any leftist precedents.  Top of my head example, notice how the left completely ignored the Epstein files during those years but all of a sudden became obsessed with whatever part of it Trump was involved in.  Now picture *that* being revealed to people who've finally realized their outrage has always gone the wrong direction.

□ [“Will Somali Gang Violence in Minnesota Shape Statewide Races?"]

Just pointing out that for gang violence, fraud and government jobs, Somalis are an overrepresented part of the population.  It's almost like they turning Minnesota into New Somalia.  Oh wait, they are, that's the point.  It's what their tribes always do, it's what Democrats want to maintain power and it's what leftists want to destroy society.  They all see what's going on and only want more of that.

It's been a solid Democrat state for a long time, they've been doing this for years.  We should be looking into who else besides the Somalis get these benefits.  And of course it's going on in as many other states as possible.  Their leaders and administrators are also connected.  Their senator is running for governor and brags that she made it easier for Somalis to send money overseas, this is part of the global laundering.

Partially it's leftism intending to take over the world, i.e. globalism, partially it's Muslims using leftists to do the same thing.  It's also just the nature of society, people who ignore how it's built.  That's what fuels a nation and these people are incapable of realizing that.  It's why a nation collapses or is at least replace by conquerors.  It's not clear if there's a specific intention or if it's just multiple groups that all have the same basic goal.

Illegal Families Given $100k: California Uses ‘Shadow Welfare System’ to Fund Illegals
October 5, 2026

Surprised that nobody's thought of this yet regarding the Lucy Craig event but I just recalled all those pix of Joe Biden feeling up women, often underage women.  It occurred to me that if he can get away with this in public, he can probably get away with more in private at drug-fueled orgies.

If the feminists really want to have a chat about stuff like this, they're going to need to explain why they voted for this guy.  Female secret service agent had to quit because he kept waggling his penis at her, is that what feminists consider acceptable?  They're just going to bring up Trump but his accuser doesn't even know what year it happened.  Biden did it in public, surrounded by people, filmed by the media, over and over and over and over.  At least some events were as Veep when he was swearing in new members of congress and feeling up their wives and daughters and they just had to accept that.

Cornell voted for Biden, this is what they want.  The media was fine with it, they're the ones taking all these pictures.  Democrats loved it, IIRC Gloria Steinem told the New York Times about Bill Clinton something to the effect of 'a man gets one free attempt.'  There was an old story of Ted Kennedy and another member of Congress groping a waitress serving them at a restaurant.  'Sexual liberation' mattered to some people, at least when there were no consequences.

I'm still trying to find collections of the Biden pix, I know someone had put together a dozen or so in one image but I haven't found it yet.  Yet-another problem the left will be facing which they caused.  The Cornell event was in 2024, if you really believe Biden was POTUS, that was on him.

Virginia State University Sued for Suppressing Christian Student Ministries While Exempting Muslim Groups
October 4, 2026

Women rush out to attack anyone they don't like, men hold back. If pressed on the matter, they say 'if they did it, shoot them. If not, ignore it.' And they'll wait for more information.

This event with Lucy Craig and the last couple weeks with Lindsay Clancy are demonstrating the difference between genders very clearly. I don't know why these two have the same initials but it sure looks deliberate, doesn't it? In theory, there are rational women out there, but they're the vast minority. They should be asking who's doing this emotional manipulation of their gender.

Also notice that all of a sudden the trans movement is going silent about this. It's like there's only two genders and everything else is delusion. Men just want to know the facts, good or bad, so they can move on from there. Decent women can accept that. Everybody else, they're the problem here and we're all watching it.

The next scandal will be out in a day or two, more outrage for women. My guess is Trump will be accused of doing something and nobody even knows what year but whatever the accusations are, women will go along with it, at least until they get really sick of doing this. Whoever's in charge is running an emotional train on them.

Possible Plague Crisis in Siberia:  Five Hospitals Under Quarantine, Lab Tech Dies Following Test Tube Accident Containing Plague Bacteria
October 4, 2026

[hours after writing the above]  It's social media so there's no way to know how many commentors are real people, much less those who self-identify as female.  That said, I've noticed a change in opinion.  As the information about Lucy Craig is made public, men are more willing to speak out.  For that matter, there a sizeable percentage of female posters willing to contradict their feminist overlords, both on Craig and Clancy.  Some posts are very clearly A.I. but many are not so I'd like to *feel* that real women have also had enough of this.

The reason I bring this up is because I've been wondering what the reaction will be to the accusation against Trump which will probably come out tomorrow, maybe later this week.  Just the fact that they're doing this seems idiotic but I get the impression they really expect to sweep to victory with three consecutive outrages like this.  I'm not saying they'll fail but if I'm right about most men and even some women turning against this *woke* agenda, this going to be a big thud.  Sensible people will just stare at it and ask 'she can't even remember what year it happened and waited 30 years before bringing it up to people desperate to attack Trump???'

If that happens, a lot of people who went along with the *woke* agenda are going to start asking questions.  Those who already resisted it will see how right they were.  And we haven't even gotten to the mid-terms yet.  The point might be to inspire enough people to totally vote Democrat and Trump can be impeached in January, if not earlier, but they are risking losing a lot of their target audience if they go through with this.

I know there's no evidence but I do tend to go on the assumption that someone in charge is actually sensible.  This might be an instance where they shut it down before anything happens.  I'm remembering (I think it was) October 2024 when Hillary announced some shocking revelation against Trump would be released next week and nothing happened.  They could be running into the same issue here.

There are other possibilities.  Perhaps there is no one in charge sensible enough to put a stop to this before it ruins everything.  Perhaps those in charge work for foreign countries who would be perfectly happen to see a major US party collapse.  Perhaps they will go through with this and they do win the elections big-time.  But even if that happens, I still think the left is closer to collapse than ever before and don't even realize it.  I hope this is what Trump 2.0 has been aiming for the last 19 months.

□ [“Los Angeles Evacuations Underway After Massive Wildfire Breaks Out Amid October Heat Wave"]

A year and a half since the last one and nobody has decided that they should set up a decent fire-fighting system.  Not the city, not the state, they're fine with burning everything down.  Since almost nothing has been rebuilt from the last fire, maybe they just thought it wouldn't be needed again.

As always, I'll just assume the government is doing this deliberately because they can but the citizens might be getting a bit tired of this.  Some of them might not have been taught by the California school system and are capable of asking why they keep voting for a government that promises to protect them but never does.  Hopefully it doesn't damage the high-speed rail construction.

Maybe Newsom and whatsername will decide they need to look good for a change, maybe try to fix things.  I don't know how effective they'll be but it's a possibility.  I also have to wonder how Hollywood will react to this.  They're setting records for insanity so no way to know what they'll do but this just seems like the worst time for this to happen.

□ [“Chris Rock Compares Wokeness to the Salem Witch Trials - the Hunt Had to Invent Offenders"]

I'm never sure about Rock.  He's clearly a leftist although it might be just because that's the only way to have a successful career like his for the last 30+ years.  He even makes sure to mention his support for "marginalized people" so he won't get busted.  But he can also say sensible things as he's doing here, His comment on the Salem trials is historically inaccurate but the point is correct, that they probably did find a few witches but then their job is to keep finding more.  If you only have a thousand toilets in town, you don't need twenty full-time plumbers.

□ [“Baltimore Rock Opera Society Fires New White Director for ‘Cultural Appropriation’"]

This is probably an example of what Rock is talking about.  She was hired in mid-September, she was at the Burning Man festival and her hair was in cornrows.  So now she's fired.  A leftist organization hiring a leftist, that's the first one being purged for not being *woke* enough.  Just the idea of hair-styles being based on skin color is beyond most people's comprehension yet here they are.  She's already talked to a lawyer who points to Maryland laws against discriminating on people based on hair style.  But maybe those laws only apply to blacks.

It's what Rock was talking about, the *woke* rock opera society needs to find a new problem to solve and their now-former employee sees a case of discrimination.  Their own beliefs are just causing conflict for everybody involved and the legal system gets more fuel to feed their fires.  This organization says they're a "volunteer-hire" so that has to affect their employment records.  They obviously weren't working for free so it might be worth looking into who was paying for this but this is an example of a real problem to solve.

U.S. Rushes a Dozen B-1 Bombers Out of Britain Following Suspected Iran-Backed Terror Plot

□ [“Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) Says His Solution to Cost of Living Crisis is Raising Taxes"]
□ [“CNN’s Fareed Zakaria Admits Homeless Problems Are Worst in Democrat-Run Cities"]

I don't remotely follow enough media to keep track of this but it at least appears to me like the mass media is realizing that it has to do at least slightly better at reporting on leftists.  Kelly is on CBS and these are both companies owned by Warner Bros. so they have the government looking at them anyway but they're both demonstrating that their solution is to save people money by charging them more money.

Zakaria even admits that blue cities are much more expensive to live in and forbid constructing homes, both of which make it tough to end homelessness.  Kelly claims he'll just raise taxes on people who have more than a million dollars but never points how that works.  He himself has many millions of dollars so you'd think that would make it easy to explain but he doesn't bother.  He'd probably be charging more taxes on people who build homes so there's less incentive to do that.

Maybe it's just my mood but something about this seems very old and tired.  You can understand why the *woke* movement targets these old leftists, they obviously haven't succeeded in all these years so might as well try something new.  But this goes even further to their rhetoric.  All our lives we've been told that higher taxes will make things better yet they just get worse and the government can't even spend our money well.  But they never think that they're wrong, much less try to come up with a better solution.

Southern Georgia Block Party Shooting Leaves 2 Dead and 35 Wounded – “It Was Gang-Related”

If you've read this far, my schedule is changing again so I'm not sure how it'll go this week.
