Two Service Members Dead After Apache Helicopter Crashes Near Fort Hood

A.I. is definitely becoming more helpful.  I was thinking of upcoming election possibilities and a few recent events, so a common Han Solo quote passed through my head, "don't get cocky."  That's just a given so there's nothing else to go on at this point on the election cycle so of course I started recalling that scene in Star Wars, Han and Luke shooting off tie fighters as they escape the Death Star.  Then it occured to me that, earlier in the movie, Luke had snarked about what a great pilot he was and of course that's why the rebellion needed his help to destroy the Death Star but was this his first actual combat experience?

There was the middle part of the movie on the Death Star, the escape and then attacking it at the end, how many people did this naive farmboy kill over the course of the movie?  Ignore the millions of people on the Death Star itself because that's morally too overwhelming to contemplate, I'm just thinking about direct combat itself.  Those he specifically intended to remove from existance because they were in his way, like he's starring in an action movie or something.

So I asked A.I. on the internet and it gave me a quick and detailed answer.  Two questions really, one on storm troopers on the Death Star, the other on tie fighters on the escape and attack.  It's a bit ambivalent and I'm not going to bother checking the actual movie for clarification.  Leia kills one, Han kills a total of seven and two more are killed by Luke and Leia.  Luke blows up two tie fighters in the escape, two more in the attack and it's arguable there's a third with Han.

I'm sure Star Wars fans have worked this out over the years but my point was I came up with a random question and internet A.I. had a quick answer that was really good, even identifying as many storm troopers as possible by ID number and others who died during the movie but weren't directly killed by the main characters.  That's a good f*cking answer.  If you were a teacher giving a test and a student gave you this answer for a question, at the very least you'd see nothing wrong with it.  If all the answers were this good, that's a perfect score.

This is happening more in the areas I pay attention to with A.I. which is mostly what they're doing with music.  Last night I saw a new post on youtube, someone had made an A.I. Aerosmith song, "Cold Hard Lovin'."  To this day they're still one of my favorite rock bands although I can't remember the last time I actually listened to them so this one grabbed me.  And it sounds like Aerosmith.  The music came across a little clunky, A.I. is not capable of producing that undefinable quality of a band jamming it out, but it was serviceable.  Joe Perry could do a better solo but it still sounded like him.

The vocal sounded even more exact.  Another A.I. quirk is that it can get the tempo of the vocals really off, there are tracks I thought sounded great but turned off once the vocal got too irritating.  There's making a stylistic change, then there's just getting the basic song wrong.  But this actually helped with the Steven Tyler-style, the lyrics could get more intricate so the vocal can be more appealing to the listener.

So this is an effective re-creation of Aerosmith when it was good.  I don't know how A.I. can overcome that sterile sound that comes from being a machine and not a real band.  There's also the lack of a catchy hook, that part of a pop song - usually the chorus - which grabs a listener.  It's something you can always remember about the song.  I don't know how it will be able to solve that problem.

These old people are finally going away although some still insist they'll be back.  Neil Young and Mike Love have cancelled tours, Roger Daltrey and Don Henley say they're on the last one.  I'm not sure Keith Richards has been seen since the new Stones album came out, Mick and Ronnie have done the promotions I've seen, and their tour was cancelled before it was started.  Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are still out there, as far as I know.  Billy Joel and Aerosmith had to suddenly stop because of medical issues.

I'm sure there's a thrill to having a football stadium full of people happy to see you.  I'm in no danger of ever knowing what that's like so I can't speculate.  I do wonder what financial issues these people are facing.  They don't have hit records anymore, I'm not sure how many actually own their songs so that's less money coming in.  We don't know if most of them have invested in other businesses, companies which aren't centered around a rock star.  How much of this is a need to be get mass applause and how much is an actual need for money?

I always assume this is part of a demon-worshipping cult but leaving that aside, they're all surrounded by people who all have their own expenses.  Mansions aren't cheap and the servants need to be paid.  It gets worse if you find more expenses, another mansion, a new car, a new wife.  The people who've been in the band for a long time expect this to keep going too.  This isn't an industry where people are known for making long-term plans, at least financially.

I'm not sure how much she's really done but I'm also not sure what a press secretary can really do.  She seemed nice but I've said that before.  I've been going through my older posts and I sure liked Nikki Haley, look how that worked out.

I know Trump got his reputation from hosting a tv show where he kept firing people but I had really hoped he'd pick people who stick around through his second term.  The military establishes its policy on people being replaced and I hope Trump has incorporated that here but I still don't like it.  Partially it's getting used to new people and partially it's that for jobs like this, they start out likeable and trustworthy, that's a good way to make mistakes.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid but I'm not sure what the point of a press secretary is in this internet age.  The executive branch would still need people to deal with the media in general but Trump makes his own public statements and gets a lot of questions.  But maybe he's just the exception that proves the rule.

□ [“Hasan Piker Explodes After Francesca Hong’s Defeat ‘Outlaw Thanksgiving and Outlaw Boomers’"]

I'm not bothering to listen to the video but the transcript just seems to be an incoherent rant.  Hong lost the primary in Wisconsin and apparently that's a big deal for some reason.  There were several primary elections this week and this is the one getting the attention but it sounds like there were multiple problems going on, all centering around attempted voter fraud for Democrats.

Because this is all within the Democratic Party, they can't blame Trump for everything (although I assume they're trying.)  Hong was doing great in the polls, with saying Thanksgiving should be banned and then saying she loves Thanksgiving, stuff like that, but then the voters didn't turn up for her.  I think that just shows how untrustworthy polls are as a rule.  If you want to know how a thousand people think, ask them.  Don't call ten people to check a few boxes on your questions and think that says everything you need to know.  Even withou that, I assume leftists have complete control over them as possible.  They want the control, they want to write the narrative and they believe they know what everyone is thinking anyway.

There's other scandals, forged signatures on ballots in New Jersey, missing USBs that contained the election results in Wisconsin.  That's why I think this is largely an exercise to determine how leftists steal elections so Republicans can prepare for November.  Furthermore, it's also increasing internal conflict among leftists.  Partially it's about those who didn't know about the fraud, partially it's those who thought it would work for *their side.*  There's the internal deals being made, 'you support this and I'll support that.'  There will be leftists who refuse to participate because anything else is "fascism."  As we saw with Hong, they'll immediately pretend to not-be-leftists and say anything it takes to seize power, even some Democrats must be appalled by that.

So I'm thinking that the Trump administration has actually planned this out, setting the left up for disaster.  If there's any sane Democrats left, they'll be driven away, as we see with some of their bigger names speaking out.  Then there's the motivation to just stay out of it and let other people fight over this, that'll also reduce the votes in November.  Then there's the leftists fighting each other, getting crazier and crazier, while encouraging people to vote Republican to shut them up.  I am requiring myself to stay pessimistic but this looks like it could be a huge mid-term victory and the left won't even be able to steal any elections.

At this point, we don't know how many movies are left that Kathleen Kennedy put into development which haven't already been cancelled.  I'm not sure this one even had a name, it was something that had no connection to Star Wars so there really was no reason to use the logo.  At least for now, production is still continuing somewhere, just without the logo.  It's Hollywood so there's no reason to think it'll ever happen but it probably has a better chance now than it did in the Star Wars franchise.

The new movie didn't get much attention even when it came out and seems to have been completely forgotten already.  I realized something today which others must have noticed but I can't recall anyone even caring enough to mention it, this movie did worse domestically and internationally than 2018's Solo movie.  That one is still remembered as a bomb, this one failed even more and nobody even noticed.  The franchise was so big for so many people for so long and it just vanished.

In theory, they could try to fix it with simple cgi movies of the main characters having an adventure.  But even if someone came up with a perfect idea for that, there's no way it could get through the giant corporation, and then through Disney, and then through the *woke* agenda.  There's no way to appeal to anybody, much less everybody.

□ [“Mitch McConnell’s Chief Of Staff Dodges Questions About McConnell's Health At His DC Home"]

I still think it's a 50-50 chance whether McConnell is dead or just in such lousy shape that any public appearance would get him immediately removed from office.  Also keep in mind that every day that passes increases the odds that he's dead.  So given that, how does his staff not see how bad this looks to the rest of the world?  He was discharged from the hospital a few days ago but is still kept hidden.  There's only one way this can end and it's not going to be with McConnell showing up all nice and healthy.  They're going to be blamed for letting this happen.

Looking up my coverage of McConnell over the years, there's no much even as the Senate leader, majority or minority.  And I started noticing the public reports of his injuries, a concussion at a private dinner in March 2023, a few days later it was revealed he had broken some ribs in that fall.  In April he announced his retirement although he'd still stay in the Senate with Dianne Feinstein.  In July 2023 he froze for a moment while making a speech.  In August he froze up again.  In September GOP Senators had a meeting about his 'seizures.'  In December 2024, he fell during a Senate lunch and injured his head.  In February 2025, he fell down the stairs.  In March and May, he looked lousy in public.  In October, he fell down trying to get away from a reported and then two months ago, he was sent to the emergency room.

There's also all the times he was actively working against Trump as a member of the uniparty.  In 2024, he waited to endorse Trump until the very end of the primaries, then made sure to get control over all the committees on federal spending and bureaucrats to stop him.  He's worked a lot harder to defend Ukraine than he has to defend Americans but is also on the board of directors for a non-profit, Rhode Island Crossroads, which gets a lot of federal funding.  How convenient.  No wonder he doesn't want to leave.

In theory I'd say the Senate should start pushing the McConnell Retirement Act, kicking out old feeble senators like this.  But unfortunately nobody would vote for it, they all expect to be in that same position, rich and helpless and still in office.  Assuming he was telling the truth, McConnell's not running for re-election this year but this is just ridiculous.

Making a list of anything in DC Trump has fixed.  This is what she's thinking about first?  Makes me wonder what cult symbols Trump has removed from DC in the last couple years.  And the way she just assumes 'her people' will be in charge, i.e. she'll be in charge, there's not the slightest worry about having to win any future elections.  Absolute power is literally right in front of them, nothing can go wrong.

But that does seem to be about all the left has at the moment.  It occured to me today that they haven't had any major protests this summer, no 'everyone goes on strike,' none of that.  Before writing this, I happened to see a post on social media from a local protester.  He went out today, no one else, and only for the legal minimum time, a half-hour.  An old white guy, nothing better to do I guess, but that's what protesting is nowadays.

The obvious reason is they aren't being funded by USAID or any of the other non-profits that smuggled taxpayer money.  It also shows their lack of devotion to the cause, Hillary's not leading any protests either.  They can't even attract anybody who agrees with them.  I go back and forth on what it means that Hillary's the one doing this.  She needs to claim she's popular for anybody other than rich white leftists, or that anyone cares what she says.  Or she could believe that she is popular and will be the last to realize she's ignored.  The media will keep pushing her, just as they have for the last 35 years, so they've got that illusion to work with.  But any day we'll see the "Clinton" brand just vanish.

They're all running into these problems.  As they get close to the elections, they need to at least pretend to be patriotic.  They never get around to describing how and why their beliefs have changed, they just expect everyone to believe they've done a 180 on the leftist beliefs that got them this far.  And of course their voters will believe it without hesitation.  El-Sayed even claimed that in football, "racism, misogyny, and homophobia were lingua franca."  He thinks deleting these videos is the same thing as "I never ever said that!"

They'll need to have really good voter fraud to win much of anything.  El-Sayed despites the popular state landmark, Mackinac Island.  AOC is getting her eggs frozen because we have only a few years left to save the planet from global warming.  But I gotta admit, this has worked pretty well for Democrats for decades so they have no reason to quit now.

The point is that these are moves being made to keep him safe from Iranian assassination threats.  As always, I don't know if we can trust any of the details although this said the event was on July 8 so a little time has passed, maybe that makes it more accurate.  This was the NATO summit in Turkey so it might be quite relevant but I still don't get why this would ever be public.  It just comes off like putting on a show.

Iran and their allies are definitely trying something.  They're pushing their leftist allies to crave death and even get the trans community to help.  An odd sidebar to this is that even devoted leftists are being pushed away by all the Jew-hatred.  It's naturally for Muslim-run organizations but they didn't expact that in DSA and their political candidates.  The Michigan Attorney General and an MSNBC reporter famous enough that even I've heard of him have both announced that they're repulsed from the party by this.  This is how the Muslim world has been pushing its way through leftism and western civilization.

It's too big to measure but this really does look like some major conflicts are being tied together here, with Islam, Israel, the left, nationalism and more.  I see that with Democrats looking like they're at a loss of what to do, predicting their victory in a couple months is all they can come up with.  Meanwhile Iran doesn't have anything to fight Trump with.  The whole world is burning, economically or with war, A.I. is looming and that's just the stuff that comes to mind at the minute.  And all of it is centered on Orange Man.

I have little to say about the case itself other than I assume he's guilty.  He's already got arrests for breaking-and-entering, theft, child neglect and the description of this arrest sound like he was making porn videos of having sex with minors.  So I don't know or care what he thinks or what his mother has to say about it.

What stuck out to me was just how quickly this kid rushed to a life of crime and depravity, without the slightest hesitation.  To an extent, you can blame the parents, sure, but it just seems to be a natural trait for anybody whose parents are in high positions.  This isn't even a huge example, his mother's only been in Congress for six years but he was reaching puberty when she went to DC so a lot of doors opened all of a sudden.

This lines up with how leftists always need to go after children.  Not just in the obvious way but with how the sons and daughters of elites are taught from the start how leftism is the ideal.  No matter how rich they get, generation-after-generation, they recite all the standard tropes about how much they care about the poor and needy and whatever new gender abortions they can find.  And they know how to find them.  I'm starting to think the whole transgender movement was largely created in DC and Hollywood where rich celebrities could get away with these claims and knew each other personally.

And this is just from the first batch of releases about what Fauci was saying in private.  No wonder he didn't want to answer an questions about it.  It's also no wonder Congress exempted themselves from the vaccine which they made manditory for everyone else.  It might be worth looking into how many of them invested in the drug companies that produced this poison vaccine, or at least told their boyfriends or husbands to invest, to keep it hidden from the public.

I still don't see how anything can be done about this.  He'll be dead of old age before anybody gets through if the 'pardon' applies to crimes it doesn't list, if it applies when it's signed by autopen or if the states can handle anything.  Trump has already spoken out to put all the blame on Biden, sorry dude, you were there too.

Even worse, this could be a major attempt at "population reduction."  Either the fake vaccine itself or just as a practice run for the next bioweapon.  We know China was involved so there's too many possibilities to count.  This is supposed to sound good but it's just getting depressing how many problems we're seeing with no way to solve.  Then there's all the leftist attempts to hide the truth.

25 years ago, they're showing that they've taken over.  El-Sayed uses all the liberal tropes that it's "racist" to oppose sharia law, showing how they made this happen.  They immigrate, vote Democrat and it just keeps multiplying.  Probably not all that different from how they conquered Europe and all of it was without a war.  Leftists made it happen.

It's quite possible Iran is behind this.  50 years ago, leftists supported the mullahs taking over and getting access to Persian history and Iranian oil.  They've had decades to think this through and implant their people wherever they could.  Look at how easily the 'islamo-socialists' have taken over their political party.  And notice how the *woke* agenda never criticizes Muslims but always wants Israel destroyed.  This is how these people have been working their way through our politicians, they only need to pretend they represent us.

This threat is so enormous that I have no clue how we could even fight back.  We don't even have a way to trust anybody except those closest to us because everybody widely-known to all of us would already be on their side.  And yes, that goes all the way up to Trump, who makes a point of thanking "Allah" in various tweets and is obviously good at dealing with the Muslim world.  The biggest dangers are from those who are convincingly on the pro-American side, what reason do we have to think we're harder to fool than the left has been?  I don't know what Trump could do to prove that he's fighting on the right side but we really need to see that.

Looking at their excuses for doing this, it just reminds me of those short stories on youtube written and narrated by A.I.  The ones where some brand-new HR director insists on imposing her *woke* agenda in some way and the employers and her bosses never question it until it fails, these people are saying the same things here.  They're just tearing down any standards so they can impose their will on the slaves.

These students aren't capable of doing anything, they can't be hired for any real jobs, they'll be in massive debt to the college and all they know is the leftism that got them there.  If there was a serious argument to be made for "population reduction," these students are it.  They aren't even capable of being 'expendable forces,' only a few could aspire to be suicide bombers.  Because they have no real ability, they're just drowning in 'self-entitlement.'

This is not a coincidence.  There's no evidence this really happened because there's no reason for NORAD to report this stuff.  So either it's practice of what's going on these days or it is reporting that something really did happen.  Suicide bombing, bioweapons, missiles or delivering important assets to the area, this wasn't just two planes accidentally flying by.  They keep trying to hit Trump at a golf course, fer cryin...

I never really thought about it, even when I was in uniform, but the military would have regular policies to find spies or traitors in the ranks.  In this case, it would include who is overseeing the restricted airspace, who authorizes pilots to get out there immediately, the whole chain-of-command and whoever else is relevant.  The enemy is trying to do something, what help are they getting from people on our side?

There's no way to know who was behind it.  Iran and their allies are the most obvious guess.  It's probably foreign because I don't think they'd be using airplanes otherwise unless they were ready to strike now.  I can't think of any reason they'd need to travel a thousand miles in a couple hours otherwise.  I'm just making guesses, I'm sure NORAD has figured out all the possibilities but this does show that we really are at war now.  We just don't know who the other side is.

She must have been doing tv today, there's a number of articles about her.  She's defending DSA while not admitting what they're doing, she is officially a member of the New York chapter.  This shows that she doesn't really know what she's talking about since their objectives include getting rid of the Senate and the POTUS.  She's not going to run for a job she wants to get rid of, or rather, she's not going to get rid of the job once she gets it.  Leftists only promise to rid of government until they're in charge.

She is asked specifically about the policies, including getting rid of the POTUS and Senate.  I should note that the ABC guy interviewing her does a really bad job of describing these objectives, is he talking down to her level or is this the audience they're aiming for?  Anyway, she doesn't remotely answer the question, just saying "people are less interested in these academic debates."

I assume she'll run for POTUS.  Little chance of running for Senate because she wants to remove it and because it wouldn't give her the celebrity she craves.  Probably trying to follow Obama's example, a few years in Congress and then he thinks he's entitled to the top spot.  I also wonder if she and Kamala Harris will team up.  They would hate each other on a personal level but that hasn't stopped candidates before.  Because women are so oppressed or something.

I also notice the tv networks have been helping these leftists as much as possible.  Ilhan Omar was just on CNN and said “No serious person that I know, who is running for office, believes in quote unquote defunding the police.”  Despite this being blatantly untrue, CNN went with it.  MSNOW insists Abdul El-Sayed isn't in DSA or a socialist despite him saying he is.  These people are all just copying Baghdad Bob, the Iraqi tv journalist insisting that US troops were nowhere near Baghdad even as tanks were driving in right behind him.  They get paid to tell people to ignore reality, that's it.

Another piece of media fantasy.  No indication of when this video was taken, just music so we don't hear him speaking.  He's just sitting and talking to 'students' and although there are a couple different shots of him, all of them are from one side so we don't even get a look at him.  This is not what leaders do when their country is having problems.  Assuming it's really him, there's no reason to think this short video was taken recently, so why was it released in the first place?  Who is this supposed to convince?

It looks like the goal is to starve Iran out.  As far as I know, we haven't been doing air-attacks for a while.  It goes back and forth on whether there's any negotiations or what they're even about.  Is the strait shut down, who's in control, that seems to change with every news article.  Other Middle Eastern countries are involved in the negotiations  - currently Oman is handling it - so we won't know what they're talking about and I'm sure they're covering issues that go back a long time.

There are reasons to be skeptical but at this point I think it's clear that Trump has always had "regime change" as the goal and whatever he says to the contrary is just one step in the process.  He knows they're trying to wait him out and as irritating as this is, I susepct it's part of the plan.  We're four weeks away from the end of '90 days' when Trump said we'd see gas prices go down.  I think it has a lot more to do with the oil drilling he got started in January 2025 but it *appears* to be related to the war so I think that's going to carry through, and the mid-terms by extension.

It sounds like this is becoming a big deal.  Makes sense, in sporting events you kind of need to move fast or you'll lose.  Even the *woke* commissioner probably understands that much.  They also need to start preparing for the next season and now they'll get a bunch of candidates who are just want to meet guys from the NBA.  You think the team lesbians want to compete with that?

At least one player has announced that she's totally fine competing against men.  Must not have been hired for her brains.  There will be a meeting this week, we'll see if any of the people in charge are any better.  They put themselves in this position and don't have any good defenses.  Well, other than acknowedging what a woman actual is but then they'd lose all the liberals who don't go to WNBA games anyway.  You can see how they're stuck.  Should just take "woman" off the league's name.

And this was why he was kicked out of the DNC after only a few months.  He just wants to burn the place down.  This is what the left has been aiming at, it's why they made him famous with a school shooting when he didn't even show up that day.  And of course he's young so you understand why Democrats-in-charge want that (wink wink) but it didn't work out, at least officially.

This is causing several problems for the near and not-to-distant future.  The DSA-type are hopefully driving away a lot of voters, that will hurt in the elections.  But they're also in place to take over the party altogether, so they'll be burning things down right away, meaning the party will have even bigger problems with management and operation for future elections.  It looks like it'd be a few years before they'd even be capable of rebuilding what they tore apart and they'd still need to attrack more voters.

□ [“Jill Biden Press Secretary Endorses 'Reasonable Republican' Mike Rogers Over Abdul El-Sayed"]

I'm going to stay pessimistic about the mid-terms until after they're over.  I also don't trust these Democrats who are speaking out against their psycho-leftist allies.  Furthermore, we have to worry how many people who actually vote "D" without fraud are just going to stay in line no matter what.  The leftism runs too deeply to have any confidence in a victory, no matter what it looks like at the moment.

That said, I've been going through my posts about the then-upcoming 2010 mid-terms and recall how obvious it was that Republicans would win big.  This is the same thing, to the nth degree.  The only real difference is that Republicans (and RINOs) are in charge of the executive and legislative branches.  For those who were watching in the Obama era, we're still seeing the same thing happen, this is what we're fighting.

□ [“3,000 University of California Professors Demand Return of SAT - Incoming Students Can't Do Basic Math"]

This illustrates the basic problem of leftism, how it always lowers the standards and proclaims this somehow makes things more "just."  I thought of that earlier today seeing an internet video mentioning that the youth of today were showing interest in older music, movies, etc.  This isn't a new observation, it's not remotely original, but back then even leftists had to recognize ability and quality.

We see that in works of fiction, interesting characters doing interesting things.  Maybe they aren't realistic but they have to be believable to the audience.  With music you needed actual talent, not just repeating sound over and over.  When was the last time we heard a brand-new song that's really catchy?  The use of technology has ruined almost everything people can bring to these mediums and that's not including the ability to write.

And then we see these professors complaining about math.  That's an example of leftist laziness, they always expect to have their cell phone with them so they don't need to learn anything.  But if you don't learn anything, you can't apply any skills to anything else.  Which leaves the leftist teachers more space to include the *woke* agenda, training children to be mindless slaves.

Nothing can be built that way and what has been built can't be maintained.  This is what generations of learning and education were supposed to do.  I always cite Laura Ingalls Wilder's account - I think it was Little Town on the Prairie - showing off what she'd learned to get a teaching certificate.  Just the questions included in the book are quite difficult and very few people would be capable of answering all of them today.  The effort required to learn so much developed the ability to think which could be applied in all the difficulties these frontier inhabitants faced every day.  And that's exactly what modern teachers want to destroy.

□ [“Didja Happen to Notice the Total Implosion of the Academic World and DEI Industry?"]

This article is covering a recent scandal, a black male who failed his way up to be the youngest black professor ever at Cambridge and someone finally got around to checking if his background claims were all lies.  I'm sure there's a lot of that going on at universities but I'm distant enough from them that I don't pay much attention to that.  I was more interested in seeing the downfall of the DEI movement, given its importance to leftism.

There's race, gender, sexuality, whoever gets to self-identify as the biggest victim gets to be in charge.  There's also money and government interference, which is where my interest was and this article didn't cover.  You can add other leftist talking points about abortion, global warming or the trans movement.  This also applies to universities because all of this requires government funding and that's what's been cut off.

DOGE got it started, the Big Beautiful Bill made it official and there's been a lot more discoveries since, but a lot of leftists have lost the funding they always relied on.  Global warming seems to have been the biggest loser at the moment, they all suddenly decided it doesn't matter.  They aren't even picking a date and saying that was the turn-around point, they lost, too late now so don't even bother.  They just went quiet or found something else to do.

This must be hitting them hard although it's impossible to know who's being hit and by how much.  We don't know who has money in the bank or connections they can rely on.  There's probably a lot of leftists who've suddenly realized they need to look out for their own interests instead of the group.  I think there's an increasing cascade of effects going on but kept private as long as possible, until they can no longer afford to feed the beast they've kept hidden from the public.

□ [“DC Circuit Tells Trump Not to Knock Down East Wing of the White House"]

The judges put in there by Biden and Obama overruled.  I really don't get what the point is for this.  The ballroom was old, needed repair, and it was too small for modern get-togethers.  Because it's part of the POTUS building, there are far more requirements than a normal federal building.  The old room is already torn down so the house is more open to attack but they can't do anything about it because the court decided... it can't be torn down.  These judges might as well go to a morgue and declare that these hospital patients can't die.

The court did give Trump two weeks to appeal to the Supreme Court.  As always I assume they'll support the left although I've usually been wrong on that during this term.  But this is why it's bewildering why the left is so focused on this construction work.  Is it all just this obsession with Orange Man Bad?

As always, we'll never know if there's something bigger going on here.  We have heard hints of Congress having underground tunnels and orgies, it wouldn't be difficult to assume the White House has similar events here which are kept secret.  This would definitely be something that those "in the know" would want to keep secret and that probably includes these circuit judges.  Or at least that's who gives them orders.  This is another reason to be pessimistic about what the Supremes have to say.

□ [“Mamdani Booed Off the Stage at NYPD Event on Staten Island"]

I assume he's already preparing to purge the police force.  He'll probably try to shut them down permanently but that won't happen and he doesn't have an organization ready to replace them so he'll need the purge.  This was some annual event where the mayor goes around the boroughs and deals with police, he gave up trying to speak here after half-a-minute.

It's also reported that he's very thin-skinned and doesn't accept criticism well.  That's what leftists do when they're in charge, nobody around him will be allowed to disagree or point out problems.  People are already seeing how the government grocery stores will fail, but only after every other store goes out of business because they can't compete.  But in true fascism, these stores will be run by a private company and we probably won't be told who's profiting from that.

This city is depressing to cover and it's the flagship of the leftist attempt to overthrow the government.  I really don't see how they can last four years with this guy.  Trump hasn't lived in NYC for quite a while but this is clearly still his hometown, so as always I wonder if this was a deliberate plot, a trap set up to show New Yorkers the error of their ways.  Nothing else to hope for, I guess.

□ [“Another Former NBA Player Announces Plans to Enter Next WNBA Draft"]

I wasn't going to comment on this until it went somewhere but that was quick.  Two NBA players have announced that they'll be getting into this and have already checked with their lawyers.  It's discrimination to turn them down, especially given that these players have already proven their ability.

“I identify as a sometimes identifying transgender woman!  My wig is in the mail.”  That shows how seriously they're taking this.  They are deliberately showing how ridiculous the WNBA's policy is.  They have released a statement but it said nothing relevant, other than mentioning their support for "diversity."  Well here you go, you really going to support it?

The WNBA has to lose this fight but it's not clear how long it will take.  If they refuse to allow the NBA to try out, they need to apply an actual standard which is not included in their current policies.  They would be taken to court and the pro-trans arguments would win.  But if they allow the players to try out, virtually every real woman might as well quit because there's no point to competing.  The WNBA would be reduced to a handful of men and trans players and no one could pretend it's a real sporting league.

They never want to accept that these movements are anti-woman, the very same people they always pretended to be defending.  There are metaphors, the serpent eating its own tail, sitting on tree branches while you cut down the trunk.  I don't even see who's benefited by pushing this on the WNBA.  The leftists in charge get good paychecks, anybody else?  It's not even helping the trans movement, much less feminism, much less what sane people are actually interested.

□ [“Hooded, Heavily Armed Corsican Separatists Reject Autonomy Bill for the Island, Threaten Tourists and Second Home Owners"]

My first thought was that this was just another invasion from Africa.  My second thought is that it was was bunch of leftists because who else would care if people have a second home?  My third thought was that it might be some of that but it might also be another example of nationalism.  Since all we know about Corsica is that it's where Napoleon came from, I checked wikipedia for its history.  It's in the Mediterranean, close to Italy than to France, it's a hot mess, so this is probably just their version of the problem everyone is having.  One of this times where there's no incentive to take either side, the fact that this is happening shows a big problem.

Separatism is a difficult argument to make for either side.  Healthy nations don't need it so the problem *should* be avoided.  But this is what the French and European leaders have brought this island to so here we are, men with guns taking over and making demands.  There's only about a dozen here so it's probably not a huge problem but the fact that it's happening is a big deal.  There's no way to know how many others will agree with them, or how many in Europe will just shrug and say 'let them handle it themselves.'

From my perspective this is just an example of what's going on in Europe as the elites are out of touch with the people.  I'm also seeing similar problems in the US, I think at least three states have parts that want to separate, either to join another state or to be on their own.  I also think it's all the right-wing counties trying to get away from the leftist cities.  The details are different but I think it's basically the same mind-set, here and abroud.  I don't know how to solve it but I'm sure the globalists have plans.

□ [“US Generals and Politicians Joined Chinese Intelllgence's Backchannel Efforts to Distort Policy"]

This just screams suspicion although it's actually more complicated.  I think they were all retired, at least the military figures.  There's every reason to assume they're traitors but dealing with China like this is tricky enough that it looks bad even if they were die-hard fighting for the USA.  The couldn't all be this stupid to be so treacherous and it's quite possible they were getting more secrets from China than they were giving up.

So far Hillary Clinton's the only non-military name I've seen, she's a traitor no matter what.  A few military names look familiar but that's more to do with most military names looking famliar.  The only one I recognize was Gen. John Abizaid who was commander of CENTCOM from 2003 through the very end of my first deployment to Iraq.  I probably heard about him leaving but wouldn't have thought anything of it.

Of course this is worrisome.  I always assume these people are working for globalism, i.e. China, whether they realize that or not.  They might not have even switched sides, perhaps China just got some secrets on them and could call whenever they needed help with something.  As is far too common, there's no reason to think we'll ever hear anything relevant about this ever again.  Those "in the know" get a warning, that's about it.

□ [“Ethiopian Born Colorado DSA Candidate:  There’s ‘Nothing More American’ Than Socialism"]

Now we get to see how good the media is at telling the truth about these leftist candidates.  They came in from another country and decided they want to be in charge here.  I really can't get over how none of them are even pretending to hide it, saying how patriotic they are and only waiting until they get power to turn on the rest of us.  But then, the Mongols didn't pretend to love Baghdad or Kiev either as they laid seige.

Now a lot of people are going through all these candidate's histories so we'll see what they find.  A House candidate really didn't like raising cattle, their "gas emissions" killed the environment or something.  Ok, but that's not a good policy for the Colorado voters he needs.  The Michigan Muslim is getting the most attention, he's attacking his Republican opponent for owning another house in Florida, even though the Muslim owns houses in Dubai and India.  His family is also part of the Muslim Brotherhood and their terrorist ilk.

And no Democrats are speaking out against it, at least not many.  Because they're afraid or because they agree?  Until proof otherwise, I'll assume that latter.  A week ago it was pointed out that a lot of these DSA candidates have shown explicit support for China, signing a Friends of Socialist China petition to “support the People’s Republic of China and to promote understanding of Chinese socialism.”  They may not know what they're doing but China sure does.  How can they defend this, say someone was using autopen?

□ [“Fauci Contempt Resolution Passes, Rand Paul Officially Delivers Letters to Prosecute to the DOJ"]

Oh boy.  Something's going to happen.  Someday.  Maybe.  They're going to go to jail this time.

Something about this is strange.  Congress didn't have to vote on "contempt," it was just this committee.  Of course all Democrats voted against it, 8-5.  And why is the DOJ involved if it's just about "contempt."  There are reasons to see if the pardon is relevant or not but this seems to be a pointlessly-convoluted way of doing anything.  Fauci will be dead of old age long before anything goes to court.

They have the diaries showing that he knew he was lying.  They also have his government iphone records although it's not known what will come from that.  There's also the point that nobody who worked with Fauci was pardoned so they have a reason to save themselves.  Deborah Birx has admitted in her memoir that they lied about how bad the virus was because otherwise nobody would comply.

As always, this is the main reason to complain about Trump, we're still not getting any specific victories.  Given that he's the one who gave Fauci this opportunity and how long it's taken to even pretend to be doing something about it, he really owes us on this.  You can make a convincing argument that he's not to blame but he's also in charge so it's his responsibility.  I'll continue to give him credit for what he's done but there aren't many victories, certainly not enough to get tired from, and no sense of any of this being resolved any time soon.
