□ [“The German Soldiers Sent to ‘Defend’ Greenland Have Already Returned Home"]

Can't remember how long you need to deploy to get a badge but even Germany would require more than 44 hours, wouldn't they?  And this is nearly half the official European troops that were sent, 15 French, 13 Germans, 2 Norwegians, 2 Finns and 1 Brit.  Officially orders to withdraw came from Berlin, can they not get by without these soldiers any longer?

More is coming out from all sides on whether this is a good or bad idea.  There's the 1951 “Little Danes” experiment, mass-sterilization of young people and taking Inuit kids from their families to give to Danes.  It's certainly horrific and makes me wonder if this was practicing by those who would form the EU.  Others are making the point that the US already has Greenland, Denmark is in NATO and we have troops stationed there.  We may not control the sea lanes in the region but we could if we wanted.  Still others say we want to mine the rare metals.  Or we just want this empty space to install our A.I. masters.

Even Russia has spoken out to say it would be great if the US takes Greenland, like that's going to help come to an agreement.  Trump did make a comment about taking Greenland when he entered office but since then little has been said about it, until last week when it got all this attention.  It's just so strange that all of a sudden this became so important to so many people and we still don't know why.

And here's Europe, idiotically pretending to have a functioning military.  If the Germans can't handle it, why would anybody else?  I'm sure this isn't the case but I'm wondering if they saw what was *really* going on and decided 'no way we're staying to put up with that.'  Even spookier, what if whatever-it-was was started 80-some years ago when Germany occupied Denmark?  I'm just making things up but it is ridiculous that we keep getting all this new chaos and confusion and never any answers.

□ [“DOJ to Charge Don Lemon Under the ‘KKK Act’ for Inciting Church Raid"]

I saw the news yesterday but didn't give it much thought.  It was obviously intentional, media figure hanging out with rioters so it wasn't just a coincidence that they broke into a church to harass people.  Showing how out-of-the-loop I am, I didn't even know Lemon had left CNN years ago.  I thought this was about deliberately getting attention for whatever network he was on.

But apparently it is a big deal, there are laws against attacking people at church.  Lemon is going to say that laws don't apply to him because he's black and gay - looks it up, yep, he's already announced that - and anyway, he had no idea there were people in the church he and his gang were barging into.  And yes, he's also already said that.  But apparently it's all the fault of the people he chased out of the church he didn't know they were in so he wasn't breaking any laws like those people praying outside abortion clinics or the kkk.

People like Lemon are encouraging this but the rioters are now just going after people for any insane reason they can.  They harass people driving vehicles that *might* be ICE, chasing people down the street, anybody they want.  There's one video of them attacking someone and finally getting told 'he's one of us,' they were willing to hit their own people.  There's no police around, nobody's trying to stop them.  And all because they couldn't do what other cities do, let ICE enforce federal law.

So this lines up several parts of the leftist mindset.  There's calling for violence and intimidation, there's breaking the laws, there's encouraging the trans to be violent, even more than they already have been, and it all falls under the leftist delusion that they know best and can do anything they want.  I still think this part of the movement is on a downhill slope although it may appear bigger and more explosive in the near future.  It's not that they're winning more supporters, it's just that those who remain are desperate to look like they're growing.

A few weeks ago, Tim Walz accused the Trump administration of targeting churches.  This never happened but he made sure to say that was a really bad thing and shouldn't happen.  So of course when his side does it, it took a while for any public statement.  Not from him, just his office, putting out that protests should be peaceful and should not happen at a place of worship.  That's all, easy to ignore and it's not like he's going to enforce any laws.

I'm curious how this works, I've always had the impression that Democrats pick their candidates in the backroom.  The voters are relevant but it's not clear how much.  Every living Democrat POTUS, veep and member of Congress is a special vote in the primaries and for the DNC leadership.  That just comes off as a group of elites who keep this private, even from their own pary.

They need to figure out how to get rid of Harris without an actual election.  Putting her up to a vote would cause several problems.  They might be surprised and all the primary voters actually want her, which is just another disaster waiting-to-happen.  But otherwise if they kick her out of the race, they break their own leftist rules unless they install another non-white female whore, i.e. a clone of Harris.

So that's why I'm curious about how she stand now.  The polls are fake so it's not clear what they're going for.  Do they actually want her or are they just trying to promote her so she'll quickly fall apart and the party can move on?  There's also the issue of her campaign debt.  It gets no attention but there's no reason to think someone has found $20 million in spare change and paid it off.  I suspect they're trying to dump her but I'm not sure how they'll do that.

They're doing their part to fight global warming.  But where are all the liberals who've been supporting Ukraine all these years?  Why don't they rush out to Kiev to help them?  I guess they'd rather stay in their nice warm homes, that makes it easier to tell *other people* to keep fighting.  Is Zelensky having to deal with this or is he out in some other country where rich people have lots of heaters?

And by the way, I'm pretty sure this isn't the first cold winter Ukraine has had in the last four years.  Why didn't Russia blow up their electric grid before?  If you'd done this in 2022, after a couple of winters Kiev might have said they're not putting up with this anymore, surrender now!  But now you're looking at, what, 2028 before it starts hitting them where they live?  By that point you'll just have troops moving in anyway.  Isn't anyone else taking this seriously?

The water system is also damaged, the mayor is fighting with Zelensky about fixing things.  People have been told to leave if possible although it's not clear where they would go.  To Russia maybe?  The air defense systems are running out of ammunition.  No news on the corruption scandal of Zelensky's appointees and he's being accused of firing and replacing intel leaders to remove opponents on the off-chance there's any elections in the future.  Or electricity.

Why don't you just call Russia for help?  It's like you're all trying to figure out ways to make me support Trump on Greenland.  Just the fact that you all immediately go here is suspicious.  Don't you have protests against ICE and an upcoming government shutdown to do something about?  Why is Greenland suddenly important to you?  Britain, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden are all sending troops.  WTF?

Trump has already hit these countries with tariffs and they will go up in a few months.  I assume they're going to give in because what other options do they have?  The tariffs haven't hurt our economy the way leftists and the media promised they would and if the EU had any way to retaliate, they'd have already done it.  Even if they had a military and that military wasn't already headed to Ukraine, who would volunteer to go fight the US for Greenland?

I'm even wondering if this is directly related to the Russia/Ukraine thing.  Can't figure out how but it might have been part of what Trump was negotiating over with Russia.  But it's also making the European leaders look stupid, they spent the last few years terrified that Russia! was going to steal their turf and suddenly have to do a 180 to the US who has a much better chance of succeeding.  These people were so obsessed with an imaginary threat that they ignored a real one?  What exactly do these EU elites do to win elections?  Oh, right.  No wonder Democrats and RINOs support them.

□ [“Trump Orders Over 1,000 Active Duty Soldiers on Standby For Deployment to Minnesota"]

We just heard that National Guard were being sent in and it didn't sound like Trump was doing it.  So that means, in theory, that we're sending two different military units against each other.  Or at least that's what Walz is planning, I'm sure the National Guard would oppose that immediately.  The Minneapolis mayor just panicked at the idea of troops deploying to Minneapolis but didn't specify which ones he was talking about.  He also insisted the riots would continue until ICE was gone and "it's about love" so it doesn't sound like he's really up on things.

There is no way this is going to work out for them.  They can't point to any laws ICE is breaking but ICE can point to immigration laws the people they arrest have broken, and the people assaulting them.  The protesters can't even point to a single arrest they've prevented.  They're coming from a position of delusion, not strength.  Just look at how they insist ICE is kidnapping random American citizens for no reason while the protesters are defending rapists and murderers.  Protesters even broke into a church this morning to harass people at a service.

No way to know if any of this is true.  There's a few videos, presumably recent, that's about it.  The country is closed off and will stay that way until one side wins.  If the mullahs win, it'll stay closed off even longer because they'll need to purge the citizenry.  If the people are winning, I assume they'll start putting out videos right away.  If nothing else, the armed forces will still have working internet access and will be sending out clips for the world to see.

It's actually kind of funny - not in a 'ha ha' way - that this is still going on while the left is distracted by Minnesota and Greenland.  You're whining about fake oppression and Trump acting like the showman he's always been, this lets you ignore people who are actually fighting tyranny, who are risking their lives for real.  Or maybe that's exactly why the left is ignoring it.

Maybe it's just the 21st century but I'd like to see faster progress on this.  Considering how quickly Trump got Maduro, it's just annoying that the mullahs are still around.  And even stranger, notice how quickly the left has stopped talking about Maduro, or Venezuela in general.  It's almost spooky how quickly they're running through things to complain about and then forget.  I'm guessing ICE will be out of Minneapolis roughly a month after they got there and that'll be dumped too.  Meanwhile Iran is still struggling for freedom.

She was broke when she got into Congress, now, barely seven years later, she's got $30 million.  Sounds like she demanded a share of the pie each Somali brought in with taxpayer help.  Or you can blame her latest husband - her third, and possibly the first one she's not related to - who went to the Mr. Nancy Pelosi school of corporate investment.  So yes, Congress needs to look into this.

But will they actually do anything?  Now *maybe* this is part of the plan, to really start digging into how all this taxpayer money has been looted and what big corporations are using politicians as tools to keep the profits high.  That would be good to see, we need more of that.  But maybe this won't go anywhere because all of Congress is in on this and really don't want to give up the expensive lifestyle they're accustomed to.

Gotta say, the latter seems more likely.  What real incentive do they have to fix anything?  Maybe it would be something if they only went after the opposing party but there's still the 'uniparty.'  They really have no incentive to fix things.  The House Oversight Committee has saying the right things for the last year or so but they haven't really done anything.  And now they're getting ready to be re-elected, they have no reason to mess anything up.

This article totally avoids answering who mobilized the NG, so your guess should already be that Walz did it.  I checked a leftist site who cites CNN that yes, that's what happened.  They're happy about this for some reason, I don't think they're looking at the implications.  For starters, Minneapolis was becoming chaotic.  There's too much video of citizens being harassed by the leftists, never mind that they're also attacking federal agents.  One of the points Trump was making is that states and cities are supposed to maintain their own territory and Minnesota had been failing to do that for the last few weeks.

□ [“Biden-Appointed Judge — ICE Can't Use Non-Lethal Weapons or Arrest 'Peaceful' Agitators"]

When are they going to do something about these activist judges?  You try to drive over a government official and they can't arrest you, much less perform a 'late-term abortion'?  That's not going to work.  I assume they'll obey for the moment and immediately appeal to a higher court but most people wouldn't blame them if they just ignored it.

This judge's verdict does mention that the protesters don't interfere with federal agents doing their job - meaning she hasn't bothered to see any of the footage - but the implication is that these protesters aren't actually doing anything.  Not a single illegal alien has been saved from ICE by doing this, they have continued to locate and arrest as many of them as possible, as if the protesters weren't there at all.  So why are the protesters there?  And why do they think they're there?

I'm guessing the protests will stop, or at least go down a lot, now that Walz has sent in the National Guard.  They need to make him look good and it's time for a new tactic.  More protests and violence, maybe they've got most of Congress in-line so they can go after Trump again.  But they must have lost a lot of illegal aliens in the last year, not sure how they'll recover there.

□ [“It's Not Men Who Radicalized; It's Women"]

They've always been that way.  It's just the media and increase in technology has made it easier for women to get away with it.  Radio, movies and tv made them think what they said was relevant to others, and easy to manipulate into thinking all women agreed with them.  Electricity and indoor plumbing meant it took less work to maintain the home so they started feeling entitled to more.  Soon you get 'no-fault divorce' and legal abortion and they still demand more.  The insanity doesn't stop until men refuse to put up with it anymore.

There are plenty of exceptions to point to but essentially men are individualist and women are collectivist.  That's why men are in charge, they need to figure out what's right for them and their family, if they have one.  Otherwise women think they're making decisions for everyone and can't even handle their own family.  The problem just builds on itself, which is why we now use terms like "baby mama" and "baby daddy."  It only works if you have 'one man, one woman, 'til death do us part,' but women don't want that and men are fine with that.

The men just go along with it and look for the easiest way to get by.  A lot of men have realized how much cheaper and easier life gets when you stop pursuing women.  Fewer and fewer males are willing to take part in this leftist insanity and they're increasingly pretending to be a brand-new gender, or just getting violent.  That's probably related to how women are increasingly radicalized.

I really don't expect this problem to be solved in our lifetime.  The fundamental disagreements are biological so it'll never change but unless society collapses and we have to spend several years with no electricity, hunting food, killing marauders, I don't see any way to fix it.  If there's a change, it'll be because leftism has become so repulsive that even women want to get away from it.  There's no reason to bet on that happening so men will just carry on as always.

As always, Trump is going about this is in the most annoying way he can find.  He does say that Russia and China want Greenland but that's the closest he gets to an explanation.  Why do they want it and why haven't they taken it in all these years since obviously nobody has made any effort to stop them?  No, they shouldn't have any part of North America but there's no real explanation of why anybody would care if they did.  What's in it for Russia and China to do this?

Without a solid explanation, Trump is not going to get any support from anybody on this.  Yet he's just doubling down with the tariffs?  He's planted new ones now and they'll go up much higher by June if he doesn't get Greenland.  I can think of several possible explanations for all this but it's really tiresome to keep doing this.  If there's a legitimate point to this, say so, even if it's just giving NATO an excuse to kick us out.

Otherwise there will be a point where we just give up on him.  There's too many other problems that he has yet to fix without creating new ones like this.  I'm probably in the minority that I support what he's doing with Iran and Venezuela - maybe even Syria - but there is still the relevant promise he made to stay out of other nations' problems, including Greenland.  Drop the charade, make a sensible argument or quit doing this.  And yes, I know he's Trump so he's not going to quit doing this but it's very very irritating.

Reports on what's going on are basically non-existent.  Some rumors that Iran is killing a great many protestors, others suggest less, there's basically no footage coming out.  Even if there was, it would be untrustworthy.  We are now at the point where we're just waiting to see what happens.

I'm still sure there's a plan.  No idea what it is but that's what I'm betting on.  No doubt there are already troops on the ground, doing whatever they do.  I assume the US will come out the winner, the mullahs the loser, and it probably won't take much longer.  But this waiting is not fun.  I hope the protesters are still going strong.

I'm sure it needs to be done, I'm not complaining about that, but it comes off as just a pointless step in the legal battle and doesn't seem all that relevant.  Can't other mayors be included, even in other states?  Don't their calls for resistance mean any more than this investigation?  And it has nothing to do with the Somalis helping themselves to taxpayer money, anything being done about that?  As I said, I'm not complaining specifically about the DoJ doing this, it just comes off as unimportant in the greater scheme.

Minneapolis is trying to get their people hurt or killed as martyrs but I don't see that working very well.  They don't seem to be inspiring anybody else beyond talk on social media.  The protesters being hurt or killed come across as being stupid enough to get involved in this stuff.  It doesn't help that ICE is carrying cameras, as law enforcement has been required to do for a decade or so, so the footage shows that nobody's being abused, they're causing their own problems with bigger, stronger, better trained officers.  Black Lives Matter ran into that problem too.

It should also be noted that ICE raids and patrols are still going on as they had been for weeks.  The protesters aren't actually doing anything to stop them.  Neither are government officials whining about them.  In theory they might be inspiring more protesters but they're also inspiring people who support ICE.  Even those who oppose ICE are more likely to be getting tired of this bad publicity.  Anecdotally, I've seen more non-whites openly supporting ICE and it's increasingly noted how few non-whites there are among these protesters.  But their supporters still aren't admitting that.  Problems ahead for Democrats.

Just a guess but I think this might be a reason Trump called Canada the "51st state" and has been making noise about Greenland, probably more to do with Chinese influence on our turf.  Might be other things too but China knows how to handle globalists and we've got these right next door.  It's definitely a threat and he needs to do something about it.

It's understandable that China would be pulling the strings a little tighter these days.  They need to make sure their allies will stick with them.  But there's no problem with Canada, Carney went to visit Xi, not the other way around.  He's probably still upset over Trump's tariffs.  Notice that we don't hear much about those anymore.

This Canada-China arrangement is another part of the war that's going on although there's not much detail.  I still think China is the main enemy, at least internationally, and they've got their pawns all over the world.  I'm not sure what Trump can do about this, especially since he's only got three years left.  Xi probably has more time.

This is a shock.  For years we heard she was going to leave at any time and that never happened.  Yesterday I heard that her departure had been set but I was very suspicious that it would happen anytime soon.  Even today when it came out that this was her last day at Lucasfilm, I didn't really believe it.  She'll get 'producer' credit for however many more movies actually come out, supposedly she's still involved, her replacements were her puppets, this doesn't mean anything.

But it's only now that it really hit me, this is a big deal.  It just suddenly happened.  She didn't get any 'going-away' celebration.  Last year we were told she'd wait until there was another hit Star Wars movie, the next one will be released in May but they're not going to wait any longer.  She's out now and there's no reason to think she got a vote on the matter.  It's her or those in charge of Disney.

Anecdotally we've heard that a Disney park has even removed almost everything from her sequel trilogy and focused entirely on the George Lucas movies, especially the only three that matter.  She had announced a couple dozen movies that never came close to being made and now never will.  And that's not even counting how Indiana Jones and Willow have been completely ruined under her.  The woman was able to make a 'Han Solo' movie fail, you would think that's impossible.

I would bet they can't restore this franchise.  It's very unlikely that any Disney company is going to produce something good.  Even if they do, some of their tv shows are reportedly good and they get ignored.  The audience has left.  And now KK is leaving too.

I assume there's a lot of legal hurdles to jump, I would like to think that Trump and his people have already taken care of that as much as possible so they can get started anytime.  The protesters are attacking ICE, looting their vehicles, all that stuff.  They're even harassing normal people just for driving vehicles vaguely similar to ICE, and it's the victim's fault.  Hopefully Trump has given his last warning.  And by the way, I notice his internet posts have gone back to being short and direct in the last week or so, like they were when he took office.

Walz has suddenly changed.  He's been promoting these protests all along, demanding more and has said at least twice that Minnesota is at war with the federal government.  That would be all the 'insurrection act' evidence needed.  Maybe that's why he suddenly said today that there should be more peace, 'turn the temperature down.'  Someone might have finally made it clear to him that if he's not with the federal government, he's the enemy and it's not like he gets any authority from his charm and personality.

The city police have been told to stand down.  Pretty sure the state police aren't involved, at least not on-behalf of the state government.  That leaves the federal officials the only ones on the ground to do their job, and they're the ones being attacked.  Walz didn't cause this but he's pushing it as much as possible so if there's "insurrection," he's legally responsible.  But at least he's not wasting time trying to do anything about the Somalis looting taxpayer money, that's too much like work.

I get that she self-identifies as one of the elite but where would she get the money to buy a mansion?  I'm sure she has a lot more money than the rest of us but she can't get a job so how will she pay for this?  As far as we know, she still owes millions of dollars in campaign debt so how does 'let's buy a mansion' fit into that?

My impression is that this part of the money funneling scheme Democrats and their allies have been implementing for years, which we're finding out from her co-candidate Tim Walz in Minnesota.  Don't have any idea how she's involved - maybe her husband knows - but I think that's where it goes.  I also have to wonder if it's about more than 'profit.'  It's not just that she laundered enough money to spend it on a mansion, the house might be used for other purposes which keeps the money flowing.  Effectively she's an employee and this is where her workspace is, it just happens to make her look wealthy and upper-class.  Just speculation but can't get that thought out of my head.

She's not going away, or at least she's trying not to.  Problem is, she can't do anything so there's no reason to pay attention to her.  And notice that she's gotten very little attention for over a year now.  A supposed book-tour, a few other appearances and that's been that.  Her legions of die-hard fans aren't asking what she's doing these days, none of the ICE protestors are calling for her leadership.

I'd say it's 50-50 if she ever has any chance of coming back.  It's theoretically-possible Democrats will have grown up enough by 2028 to realize why she was such a bad candidate.  If they haven't, she will still get ripped apart in the primaries which the party can't afford to skip this time.  The only chance she has is that the party is still entirely *woke* and they need to bend over and give her all the privileges.  But that would wipe out any potential candidates for a long time and even if that's the case, why not just give Hillary Clinton another try if she's still breathing?

Trump Cancels Second Strike in Venezuela After Regime Frees Hundreds of Political Prisoners
January 9, 2025

□ [“Tousi TV:  The Iran Strike Is Coming; US Has Delayed"]

These are just rumors, no clue if they're true.  Supposedly the US needs to get more troops in and Israel still needs to get ready, since they'll be involved.  It's believable but for convenience sake, I'll just assume the attack is continuing on-schedule and is probably already underway.  But the fact that we haven't gotten any real news for a few days leaves lots of room for rumors.

It's also speculated that the government itself is falling apart, which is also believable although obviously there's even less evidence for that.  My impression is that everybody just seems to accept it now that the mullah regime is done and it's just a question of when Trump goes through with it.  If true, those in charge have probably broken into factions, trying to work out how to survive and how much money they can grab before they run.

Now that I think about it, that silence is strange.  Russia and China aren't speaking out for their BRICS ally.  Democrats aren't demanding that Trump call it off.  The Muslim world isn't blaming Israel for everything.  The Minneapolis protestors aren't claiming any parallels with Iranians.  It's like the whole world is just waiting for the mullahs to be 'past-tense.'

□ [“New Ukrainian Defense Minister Opens up About Kiev Military’s Dire Straits:  Mass Desertions, 2 Million Draft Dodgers"]

Wow, remember when this war was a big deal to some people?  What a simpler time that was.  Back when Democrats were so eager to get into a war.  But of course Ukrainians have a certain skin color which Iranians and Venezuelans don't share, so *some* people must be saved from evil tyranny and war.  They also help funnel a lot of money from the US, even taxpayer funds.

The new Minister of Defense is complaining about the bureaucracy overwhelming the military.  That is a problem the military will never be rid of but it's also something militaries usually reduce because it gets in the way of fighting a war.  But Ukraine is only getting around to mentioning this now?  Doesn't look good if you want them to take this seriously.

Russia keeps hitting the energy grid.  I'd be a little more impressed but don't they do that every year anyway?  It's fine as a military tactic but it needs to actually work every so often.  Maybe it's just the lack of attention anyone has for this war anymore but this really does make it look like both sides are playing a game, like it was more about deluding the rest of the world than actually fighting a war.  We don't even hear anything about peace talks anymore, everybody's moved on to Greenland.

Another problem is that France is trying to get Ukraine to stop buying US weapons, they want the money to go to the European defense contractors.  Once again, is this about protecting those sweet and innocent Ukrainians from the evil Russian bear or is it about keeping the war going as long as possible to bring in money?  Even Germany and the Netherlands say US weapons would be more affective, then there's the question of Ukraine getting any say in the matter.  None of this would be giving Ukrainians any reason to join the military.

□ [“Macron Threatens US With 'Unprecedented' Consequences If It Moves on Greenland"]

Germany says it's now sending troops to Greenland, because how would we know this is a World War if Germany didn't send troops elsewhere?  Something about this is coming off like it's not just about territory or mining resources.  It's not about a valid place to defend the Arctic.  All of those points are probably relevant but something is odd about how France, Germany and the rest are instantly defensive about this.

For instance, when was the last time anybody mentioned Trump's statement about Canada becoming the 51st state?  He did say that and he's Trump so he probably meant it but that's more-or-less been forgotten.  But Greenland, that response is much stronger.  'Hell no, you aren't taking our Greenland away!!!'  The left always insists Trump is an idiot who never succeeds so you'd think that mean Greenland is safe from him, might as well go back to focus on [looks it up] those noble Iranian mullahs standing against the Trump tyranny as it tries to corrupt their own people.

So this looks more like the Europeans are up to something, probably with others involved, and they don't want Trump finding out.  Or more likely, he already knows but can't announce it for whatever reason.  That's what they're suddenly so desperate about, that's why they're willing to send troops out there now even before they get around to Ukraine, which shows how important that was to them.  [Although thinking about it, I don't know how the actual status works but Greenland is probably closer than Ukraine to being a legitimate ally so you can send in troops.  You can argue about why they're doing this now but you can't argue they don't have a right to defend Greenland.]

No idea what they might be doing there, dealing with aliens, slave colonies, Santa Claus?  In the last several months, there's been a few news articles of high-ranking leftists talking about literally blocking the Sun from lighting up the Earth, maybe this is where they would launch those ships from.  Whatever it is, I'm guessing something is going on there that the elites will do a lot of damage to prevent from being exposed to the world.

The EU is also using this talk as an excuse to try a united EU military.  They've always wanted that and have never come anywhere close to it.  It's not going to work this time either but they do enjoy the delusion.  Best of all, they never need to consider if their various nations even want that.  The people can die for the cause, that's all they're needed for.

□ [“Medicaid Funneled to Illegal Aliens Now Tops $1.8 Billion Across 8 States"]

The scandal is getting bigger, more people are looking into it.  I suspect it won't turn out that a huge percentage of government spending has been for fraud like this but it will be enormous.  Even a small percentage of the trillions of dollars wasted over the years will be enormous and I may doubt it will be 10% of everything was fraud, that's more than bad enough.  And if I'm wrong and it actually is a lot more, well there's going to need to be some explanations.

Say, why is no one asking Joe Biden what he did about all this fraud back when he was pretending to be POTUS?  He was supposedly in charge of government agencies that are supposed to find and punish people for this, what were they doing all those years?  No one is asking Kamala Harris why she didn't include stopping this fraud in her campaign speeches.  Might have gotten her enough votes to win but I guess there some things she *won't* do to win office.

Nobody who worked for them is being asked about this.  Congress isn't being asked.  Even Minnesota officials aren't being asked that much.  It's already been weeks, you'd think someone would be announcing that they're going to start going after all the fraudsters.  Some Democrat who wants a shot at the title could say he's going to go after this.  But of course that would need to be someone who isn't also guilty of covering it up.

The protests against ICE really aren't helping.  They didn't help anyway for the last year because most of the country wants to get rid of these illegals, but now with what we're hearing about Somalis getting up to, and it's just a small part of the story?  Sensible people want to know wtf happened to our money that the government seized from us and Democrats are trying to ignore that even as it gets worse.

Verizon Experiences Massive Outage For Users Across US… DEVELOPING

□ [“US Military Action Against Iranian Regime May Start within the Next 24 Hours"]

Why would you use a headline like this?  You don't say what time it is for you so there's no clue when this 24 hours will be up.  What time zone are you in, anyway?  Oh wait, you're quoting from Reuters so really it's what time zone are *they* in?  This headline is why we can't have nice things.

Anyway, I assume the mission is already underway.  We don't know what they're doing so it's basically pointless to speculate on the timing, although my guess is we'll know by the end of the weekend.  Unless it's more long-term but that's unlikely, given that Iran has (reportedly) started shooting a lot of protestors, so Trump will need to move in quickly.  Iran had already cut off the internet, now they've even jammed Elon Musk's Starlink service.

The rial is dropping in value which will hurt the economy even further and incite more rebellion.  This will also make it hard to pay the mullah's armed guards, a sign that that they might want to start planning an escape while there's still time.  I know it's already been forgotten but remember the beginning of January when Maduro was still running Venezuela?  He might have had a chance to escape too.  You want to end up like him?  Because this is how you end up like him, with free residences in New York City.  [uh...]

Slightly-more seriously, it's a good question what's going to happen?  Multiple questions, about what the US will do to take out the mullahs and how that involves the protestors.  Then there's the question of what we and they will do afterwards.  It might take a long time to rebuild everything and there's a valid question of whether or not the US deserves to be part of that.  They owe us, sure, but do we really need the headache of handling everything for them?

□ [“‘Whistleblower’ Leaks Identities of Thousands of ICE and Border Patrol Agents"]

This is a crime and is dangerous but honestly, I have less of a problem with this than the other attacks going on.  It's a legitimate form of attack if you really think you're at war here, which the left does.  It's also a sign that these organizations need to improve protection of their information.  This was clearly done by someone inside the one of the institutions, or a company connected to them.  It might have been a computer hack but if that's the case, you'd think they'd have gotten a lot more names out.

I'm also in favor of releasing more information that had always been kept secret and this is an example of taking the 'bad' along with the 'good.'  I don't mean this to ignore the danger of the agents who have just been exposed but it's one of the costs of war.  It also works both ways, there should be websites listing everything known about everybody that can be identified in all these protests and attacks.

The left is trying to make Civil War 2.0 happen everywhere and there's a fair chance they'll succeed, or at least have it happen on the streets in blue cities.  They act like this is an actual war but they aren't treating it as one, which is why so many old white women are surprised when they get arrested or shot by the government.  They're also missing the point that to be at war, you need to have national organization.  Without that you're just domestic terrorists and you won't find very many who side with you on that.  They'd need to call in other countries for assistance and would be just as expendable when that happens.

□ [“Bill and Hillary Clinton Refuse To Testify in Front of House Oversight Committee"]

Did anybody *not* expect them to do this?  Didn't even realize it but Bill was supposed to have testified today, Hillary tomorrow.  There are people who go to jail for defying congressional subpoenas but the laws don't apply to everybody.  Now the question is what Congress will do about this.

Odds are nothing will happen because Congress doesn't get paid to do stuff.  That said, it's not a guarantee.  Even Democrats have to realize this sets a precedent they'd rather not face.  If the Clintons can defy them and get away with it, so can others.  If this Epstein testimony is such a big deal that the Clintons can ignore it, who else would go along with it?  For that matter, have any of the others obeyed the subpoenas?  Not getting much attention there.  That's why the odds are so high that Congress won't bother to respond.

I don't think this is the end but I don't have a clue where this will go next.  Maybe we'll see if the Democrats get any pushback from their voter base.  They can say nice things about Bill and Hillary but those two are old and out-of-date.  They may be obsessed about Somalis and ICE but they'd also be willing to sacrifice their own people to get more about Epstein which the Clintons definitely have.  If Congress votes on this, a lot of donors might call and say they'd better vote against the Clintons, or else.

□ [“Trump Has Severe Warning for Minnesota Democrats After State Sues to End ICE Agent Surge"]

We're not even halfway through the first month and already this year is exciting, giving me tingles in my girly-parts.  [Note to self:  Where did those come from?  Better check into that.]  I think other states are involved but they're trying to sue to stop the federal government from enforcing federal law.  That's like trying to punish a baseball player for hitting a baseball with a bat and running around all the bases.  You're going to need to bribe a lot of judges and hope they're stupid enough to go for this.

Minnesota does seem to be where Civil War 2.0 is intended to start for real.  Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is pointing out evidence of AG Keith Ellison meeting with his donors about stopping the investigations into Somali fraud if they give him more donations.  There's already some video released and some of those people have already gone to jail for frauding the taxpayer.  The Democrats-in-charge knew about this all along, not just with Somalis and not just in Minnesota.

They're all glad the lesbian was shot, now it gives them an excuse to schedule these protests for the foreseeable future.  Which they're already doing.  This is just doing the same things they did last year where a bunch of old white people pretend they're relevant, or a majority.  They're not winning over support and it's not clear if they believe they are.  It's also increasingly clear to everyone that these people are mentally unhealthy, just by thinking they can defy federal law-enforcement and get away with it.

□ [“Antifa TikTok Agitator Urges Armed Leftist Militias to ‘Fight’ ICE Agents"]

Women are capable of inspiring men to do more and take the lead.  I was very pleased when Sarah Palin was unleashed upon the country because it looked like she could do just that.  It didn't work out back then but the possibility is still there.  But it goes both ways, the old white women handling these protests are capable of finding males to do the same thing.

However where Palin could have found men willing to pick up guns and fight for her, this guy does not come across as being of the same caliber.  This guy posted a porn video online of himself with his wife and some other female and didn't even bother to get the required legal documents signed, which cost him a lot of money in court.  Beyond that, he openly admits to creating internet sock puppets to use against people he doesn't like.  Basically he comes off as someone who's all talk.  Many threats of violence and the leftism is more of an excuse to get away with that.

But they're all trying to push, inspire and outdo each other.  Their mental illnesses will become overwhelming at some point and at least a few will really try to kill people.  How many will actually go through with this?  People with this objective don't intend to come out of it still alive so I also wonder how much of this lines up with suicide bombing.  At least ICE is trained to handle this, the "suicide" is more important for the others than the "bombing."  But Muslims have a religious reward in mind, these protesters have none of that, yet they'll be doing the same thing sooner or later.

□ [“Democrats Are Being Warned Not to Say ‘Abolish ICE’ Because it’s a Losing Political Message"]

And so the party faces its own contradictions.  They oppose ICE, they want to abolish it, but they need to lie about it to have any chance of winning elections.  Everybody will know that, they don't think they'll be asked why they changed their minds?  Or how they'll deal with fellow Democrats who come from safe blue seats?  As much as their willing to fight Americans, the party is going to be fighting itself this year as those who see the problem need to get the votes of those who are the problem and the party has promoted them all these years.

Two transgender lawsuits have merged [that sounds icky] and landed at the Supreme Court.  So far it sounds like this will not go well for the *woke* crowd as there are some obvious questions which the lawyers have no chance of answering.  Like 'if you can't define a gender then how can you define discrimination against that gender?'  All these years of arguing about this stuff and the left has never come up with an answer for that.

It was also noted that the black chick asked a question so incoherent that the lawyer had no idea what she was talking about.  I'm not sure why she's even allowed to be part of this hearing since she has no clue what a "woman" is but that's what being hired by DEI gets you.  Things don't seem to be going very well for her these days.

As always, I'm negative about the Supreme Court.  That's probably not going to change any time soon.  This case seems to be going well at the moment but it could change at any time.  They still haven't done anything publicly about the activist judges.  I'm also worried that, like Congress, they'll start admitting that the uniparty calls all the shots.  Not sure how this should be handled and am worried that the problem is just too big to solve.
