Woke NYC College Professor Caught Making a “Blatantly Racist” Comment About Blacks During Meeting

□ [“Gavin Newsom Says Democrats Must be More ‘Culturally Normal’ to Win Elections"]

In a 'broken clock is right twice a day' sense, he deserves credit for pointing this out.  Yes it's ridiculously obvious to most people but that's the point, Democrats have no appeal for most people.  Newsome points out that most people care less about your pronouns or identity politics than basic economic issues.  That is very true.  The problem is he still needs to appeal to those who run the Democrat Party and they focus on identity politics.  Rejecting that is not going to help him get through the primaries unless they've already got some other plans ready and that's still two years away.

Newsom is damaging his own image, making a speech to non-whites and saying "I'm like you" in a reference to how low his SAT score was and that he can't read a speech.  He's made similar comments to white audiences and it's been noted that he spoke to them at a normal rate of speech.  He slowed down for the non-whites.  Jus' saying is all...

People online started sending in comments and questions about this, his staff just rejected them with swear words.  I assume they're all taking guidance from him and he's acting like someone who's never been challenged before.  Or at least much less than any normal person has.  He's rich and white so he knows how to handle Democrats.  And non-whites for that matter.  This will be thrown at him for a while but probably won't cause any problems.

He'll find other problems for himself to cause.  He just set a serial child-rapist free, that'll do it.  And he was talking about being San Francisco mayor and mentioned his predecessor, “for those who don’t know Willie Brown, you wouldn’t know Kamala Harris without Willie Brown.”  Oh snap!

□ [“Over 40 Congressional Crybaby Democrats Skipping Trump’s State of the Union Address"]

As I write this, it's probably already started, or it will soon.  From what I've heard, the *woke* are avoiding it, the others will be expected to behave like decent people, stand and applaud, all that stuff.  The previews were given, the top four from each party have been briefed.  It sounds like this speech will mostly be about the economy.  That's always important but the rest of us do have some questions we would like answered.

I never expect to listen to this.  (checks)  Yes it's almost starting.  I'm really not interested in speeches and literally have no clue how many SOTU's I've ever listened to, in part in or in full.  I do have a slight curiosity how the uniparty will react when Trump gets started but that's about it.  If he's boring, I'll probably turn it off.

Democrats have several different responses planned which is just stupid.  At least one official response on-site comes off as professional, splitting it up like that just says the party can't even agree on how they hate Trump.  Or worse, they all say the same thing.  I'm just not a fan of this official speech.  I probably say it every year but Trump should just tweet the report and go back to work.

The entries are slow but everyone is standing, everyone claps.  Melania gets a lot of approval.  I will admit some curiosity on what these people are saying as they walk by and shake hands, sending out a short message to each other.  Much as I don't enjoy this, I will admit the suspense is entertaining.  When will he show up?  What will happen?  Everybody is smiling.  I'm sure they have a lot of practice at pretending they're glad to be here but it looks legitimate.  I also recognize very few people, much less know what party each of them are in, so it looks like normal interaction.

Tons of applause when Trump comes in, don't hear any boos.  Who are these people holding up their phones to get pix with him?  When he finally gets to the podium it does look like they're going to be doing a lot of applauding.  He starts off with talking about the 4th of July, then talking about how great everything he's done is.  There probably won't be much in the way of details which we'd really like to hear.

Applause after every statement.  He brings in the Olympic gold-medal US men's hockey team.  I want to see if Nancy Pelosi is chanting "USA!" like the others.  He gives out some awards, then attacks Democrats for wanting higher taxes instead of the cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill.  I'm guessing Democrats aren't applauding but I don't hear any boos.  He also attacks them for illegal immigration and inflation.  He also says he's going after health care expenses.

Some female voice in back is yelling but I can't tell what she's saying.  Al Green is kicked out again, haven't looked up why.  He's also has a bill to keep Congress from profiting and singles out Nancy Pelosi.  Then he talks about Minnesota and the "war on fraud."  When I do check the video, Democrats are not applauding.  He calls out a non-white little girl nearly killed by an illegal immigrant, no clue if Democrats applaud for her.  He tells them to stand up if they support protecting Americans from illegal aliens, guess which side doesn't stand up.  They just keep applauding and Democrats stay seated.

He brings up trans-genders and calls them out for imposing this agenda.  Someone calls out "pedophile."  He calls out Charlie Kirk, didn't see if any Democrats stood up but they did when he said 'political violence is wrong.'  Then he brings up the Ukrainian girl stabbed on the train.  He says her killer was an illegal alien, that doesn't sound correct.  Of course Democrats will not stand here either.  That brings him to sending the National Guard to fight crime.

I'm on the Washington Post youtube page, mostly listening.  When I do check, they often seem to skip any long-shots of applause so there's no way to know if Democrats are involved.  Sometimes there's a shot and sometimes a few Democrats are standing to applaud someone.  I wonder what internal conflict they're having, keeping track of each other.  Whoever was calling out - Ilhan Omar? - seems to have gone quiet, or been taken out.

Calls out Marco Rubio, some Democrats applaud while seated.  Trump covers some of the wars and gives a medal honor to a CW5 flying the helicopter on the Maduro raid.  Everybody stands although *some* people aren't applauding.  There's also a 100-year old Navy pilot who gets a medal of honor.  Trump suggests that his mission had been kept secret for decades, so perhaps this is classified information that's finally being released.  'Holy sh*t, he did this???  Declassify this so I can give him a medal before he dies!'

With this, he starts the outgoing words, citing our 250th anniversary and what God has given us.  He ends the speech, Democrats get up and rush out.  The camera follows him out, it's why I could never be a politician.  He's shaking hands, taking pics and giving autographs.  And it's over.  I really didn't expect to be listening to the whole thing.  He hit some things hard, now we'll see what the result is.

Trump's not a great speaker but I guess he sounded good.  It's a formal speech so he can't really grab an audience, it doesn't help that half the audience wants to be grabbed.  I don't know why they can't just save their applause for the end but that gets tedious.  But I'm not the target audience.  At least this is over for another year.

I suppose it's as good a place to start as any but they're not going to limit themselves to insurance, are they?  Given the last few months of buildup over Minnesota, and that's just limited to Somali fraud, you'd think they'd be sending people out to every office in every branch in every state.  And to each city if they have enough officials.

The media has gone completely quiet on this scandal, probably because of how big it is.  They probably need to protect the blue states and cities that run through a lot of money.  Got to keep the public ignorant of what their rulers are doing.  As always, I try to think the Trump administration has an actual plan for what they're doing but we're really tired of waiting.

And for that matter, why aren't the states and cities doing something about it now?  Unless there's some regulation the rest of us would never know, they can certainly start that now, if not six months ago.  You'd think they'd all realize they aren't going to get away with hiding this, given how much has already been made public, and yet that's what they've been doing and getting away with so why stop now?  We also have to wonder what's being maintained with funneling all this money, and what has been cut off.  Any day, there might be some huge collapse of some institution and then the rest will fall like dominoes.

It's starting to look like Europe is more devoted to Epstein than we realized.  Some high names are in trouble now.  But his lawyer insists this wasn't a suicide attempt, no, it was just medical problems.  Sure.  This might be a sign that something is finally being done and moving it's way up the line.  Hasn't reached the US much but there's a sign that it's starting here.

□ [“Martin Short’s Daughter Dies by Suicide"]

Hollywood.  A number of news stories like this have come out recently.  Some times they reportedly die from drugs but whatever the cause, they were born to rich and famous people and closely-connected to others.  With these elites, there are many social layers so it's not clear that she was Epstein's buddy or anything like that but they would certainly know someone who knew someone who was.  With everything else these people are into, they would have any number of other reasons to rush to death before getting caught.

The problem is that nobody's here is being punished and there's no reason to think they will be.  The investigation has suddenly started for his New Mexico home, like there's anything left to find after all these years.  This is just disappointing, even if anything is found there's no reason anyone would believe it.  There must have been a better way to handle this.

There probably aren't too many amusing anecdotes like this, I just doubt many leftists had enough courage of their convictions to even try.  Some of the rich ones did but even they're being seen in back in the US because (ahem) *someone* hasn't sealed the borders enough.  This chick or whatever she pretends to be will have to do the same thing.

She and her "partner" got tourist visas so they can't get jobs, apartments or healthcare.  Unlike the US, other countries at least make an attempt to keep foreigners out and their entire economic system is based on that.  Not saying they're successful or good or anything like that, just that if an illegal has to go underground to get access to normal American life, and that's what we're trying to prevent.  Her visa lasts for six months and then Canada expects her to leave and she's spent her life insisting we be more like Canada.

I don't get this divided mindset though.  She claims to totally understand that she's not a resident so she's not entitled to whatever, but doesn't want the US to be like that?  Definitely missing something here, an earlier video had standard leftist nonsense about how oppressed they were, all the threats and violence, none of which she can name.  She only mentioned Charlie Kirk's murder and that was only bad because trans got blamed for it.  She was fine with the murder itself.  Canada, you're stuck with her.

□ [“Nick Reiner Pleads Not Guilty in Brutal Stabbing Murder of His Parents"]

It's been ages since we heard anything about this.  Prominent celebrity murdered, his own family was involved, then it vanished.  I've seen a few references to Rob Reiner but only in passing.  Because I assume Hollywood is a demon-worshipping cult, I suspect they've been hiding what was going on.  Not just the party before the murder but the fact that Reiner's most-recent movie was a complete bomb and nobody even mentions it.  After 40 years of listening to Spinal Tap, it might as well never have existed.  It was in theaters for maybe a week and a half, earning less money globally than a rerelease of Back to the Future, Kill Bill or Jaws.  That just seems totally deliberate and very oddly timed.

Nick Reiner had a big-name lawyer who quit in early-January for some reason, so now he's stuck with a public defender.  This is California so of course they're trying to give him jail for the rest of his life, his victim was an old rich white male who voted Democrat.  His family has also cut him off.  The kid is probably broke but they're treating him like every other poor person.  That's leftism for you.

Just from basic history, there's details going back decades.  Reiner's dad got out of the army in 1946, Reiner was born in early-1947 and quickly started working in the early-days of television, winning Emmys and working with big names while Rob was barely in gradeschool.  Many more big names would come from Carl Reiner's tv career and that was before Rob became the meathead he's still known as.  The point is he was a central figure in Hollywood his whole life so this just doesn't come off as a stupid druggy son killing his parents.

Maybe it was, I'm certainly not ignoring that possibility.  But it's the paranoia of Hollywood in the first year of Trump 2.0 that really makes me think it was something else.  If there really are demons that you need to make sacrifices to, they probably won't always be satisfied with some random child you kidnapped and molested.  Sometimes a big name has to take one for the team.

□ [“Democrats Are Still Burying Their 2024 Election Autopsy — And Now We Know Why"]

The given excuse is very believable, it's about hatred for Israel.  Biden wasn't completely opposed to them although he did support the Jew-hating anti-gay anti-abortion Philistines.  Harris didn't get far enough away from Biden so that's the excuse they're giving.  They're also keeping this secret so we just have to take their word for it.

This may be about pushing the delusion that they'll easily win this November and then 2028.  If they released any actual info, their supporters might have some questions.  This way they can block any thoughts from going the wrong direction.  Problem is, if any actual facts get in, there's still the same problems which led them to this mess.

Their contradictions are becoming bigger and more obvious.  Harris has no chance of winning any more elections and it's very unlikely the DNC will let her make the attempt but they still need to promote her as a valid candidate.  They also need to pretend Biden knew what he was doing but he's definitely kept out of public, even if he wasn't senile.  That's not even considering the Clintons, who are supposed to testify to Congress this week, Obama or anybody else.

Then there's the Epstein files, which is hitting Democrats and their foreign allies more than Republicans.  There's the economy which is obviously improving, the wars which are at least not expanding, as far as we know.  Opposing Israel means being on the same side with Iran and that's not a good look either.  No wonder they can't let this report be made public.

□ [“Epstein Hid Secret Files in Storage Units Across the US, May Include Unseen Evidence of Crimes"]

I'd like to be optimistic that this is getting somewhere but come on...  The article says Epstein funded storage units - at least half-a-dozen - up through 2019.  So we're going on seven years since then, what kind of storage unit would let you use it for that long without a payment?  And even if they did, the units could just be cleaned out by anybody.  It just seems very unlikely that there's anything worth finding.

Slightly more encouraging is how the scandal seems to be causing problems for higher-ups in Britain.  Ex-princess Fergie is supposed to be out of money but is now so desperate to hide that she's gone to a very-expensive "wellness clinic" where nobody can reach her.  Other high-ranking officials are also being arrested but not for molesting children.  It's about potentially giving classified information to Epstein or his organization to spread around.

We still don't see why everybody is so restrained on this.  There's enough pictures and emails of their closeness with Epstein that they can't really pretend they didn't know what he was doing, so why is nobody being arrested?  The secrets run too deep, too wide?  I've started to hear a few theories that it really is demon-worship, Ba'al and his ilk have been named a few times as I look into what's being revealed.  A valid theory is that this really is a cult going back thousands of years.  You can either blame Israel itself or say this cult has infested Jews for just that long.  I'd probably go with the latter but it's a believable theory.

There's still no evidence but I am getting closer to really believing that yes, Trump has been spying on them all this time.  No clue how, just as how you can infiltrate a criminal gang when they insist you kill someone to prove you're one of them.  The left has used the last year to suddenly believe they have all the evidence that he's a criminal, yet never question why none of it came out before.  Oh, they didn't want to interfere with an "investigation"?  Proof of molesting children is really all the evidence you need, why was nobody even charged with that after four years of Biden?  More to the point, Trump would be the very last person they suspect of being a spy.

He was in his 20s, I've seen several different ages listed.  Trump was in DC and unlike Nancy Pelosi, when he's not home there's still security making sure no one breaks in.  So far he's a lone wolf, or "was" anyway, I think his family had reported him missing a few days ago.

I assume he's mentally ill and we don't have any details but the obvious impression is that he's an insane leftist who was following orders to go kill Trump.  Those who would do something like this have a very low chance of success but it's not 0%.  The left must just assume they have enough people to keep trying and eventually someone will succeed.

Yet they never realize this is the wrong way to go.  At some point they have to realize this isn't working but how long does that take?  I'm not sure even Trump supporters can take another three years of this.  Or even one year and the left is so obviously convinced they'll win big time in November.  By all rights they should be wrong about that but I'm going to need to see some actual wins before I stop believing that will happen.

I should add though that some of my negativity is just my personality but a lot of it probably has to do with the leftist gaslighting.  Most of us see the world continuing to spin as normal.  Unfortunately the left and their pet media insists on pushing the opposite on us every chance they get.  It leaves us with no certainty in an upcoming victory for our side even as it deludes leftists into seeing nothing else for their side.  This is why I keep saying Trump needs some undeniable wins that can't just be ignored.

No reason to trust this report and I'm not sure Iran has any official rules for succession.  Not that they'd break out into civil war if the ayatollah dies from "suddenly" but under current circumstances, it's not like everything is confirmed.  Khamenei is only the second ayatollah Iran has had since 1979.  There's just not much precedent.

Just a glimpse at the history of Persia indicates that it's a lot deeper than I'm ready to tackle.  It looks like a ongoing series of kingdoms or empires, periodically conquered by someone else but otherwise just a large chunk of southwestern Asia that all stayed unified.  It's obviously too complicated for me to understand but I was curious about how close the state religion was to the government.  In modern times, the ayatollah is the state leader but he's not really a chief executive.  As a religious tyranny, whatever checks and balances there are would be vastly different from anything we would understand.

So given Persian history, the long-running control by Islam, the modern state, the Revolutionary Guard and the tension of being at war with the great satan, just how reliable is the 86-year old ayatollah for picking who will replace him if something happens?  The POTUS and the British throne have a long list of potential successors and what order they come in.  The Catholic Church has its cardinals who do have to fight it out.

Meanwhile Trump is supposedly ready for war, although his latest deadline for Iran to give up is now 10-15 days away.  There's a big troop build-up in the region but it's not clear how much of that is for Iran and how much is for anyplace else that might need it.  We'll see what happens in the next week or so but the ayatollah won't be there at the end.  He's not going to be Maduro's cellmate.

Not that interested in her gaffes last week but the reaction to it is amusing.  And now her response is like those psycho chicks on youtube raging about how worthless men are and why can't they find one?  Her voice is bad, like she's not sober.  She makes no effort to clarify any of her gaffes, she just goes straight to attacking Trump.  And that's all she has to say.

She's also missing what the people at the Munich Security Conference thought of her.  She had no reason to be there in the first place but she clearly thinks she'll be POTUS and wants to act like she deserves it.  But she failed completely and these people saw it.  These people deal with a lot of puppets and there was nothing special about her but that's the best she has to offer.  At least those who want her to be their puppet saw an option, nobody else had the slightest interest and she doesn't even realize this.

Not clear who she's doing this for.  She won't convince anybody and you'd think her supporters would stick with her without hearing this, assuming they even listened.  Or have a clue about her gaffes last week.  I just get the impression that Democrats are operating in some collective of bureaucrats, media and leftist icons and only pretending that they need to appeal to actual people.  But that mask is coming off as we can see with "the squad."

The internet tells me that a class at Berkeley is a little under a thousand dollars for resident tuition, over three thousand dollars for out-of-state.  That is a lot of money to pay to edit a Wikipedia page.  People are capable of doing that without going to college.  I get that no one taking this class has the slightest clue it's a rip-off but they aren't paying for it out of their own pocket.

They must have parents, even if they aren't paying for this they should be horrified at the waste.  Time and money devoted to focusing on propaganda and editing a fricking wikipedia page.  There's nothing you can take from this out into the real world, at most it's a shield to keep you from dealing with the real world.  And every employee from the university chancellor on down has to approve of this.

It just seems overwhelming, how can such an enormous brainwashing scam ever be shut down?  Is there any way to do that without just exterminating everyone who took part in this?  If it hasn't extended into every single part of society, it's not for lack of trying or funding.  There's just no way to co-exist with people who see nothing wrong with this.  Very depressing but at least it meets all the requirements of being *woke.*

The headline is wrong, he's not defying the Supreme Court.  He's just citing already-existing laws which have been mentioned for the last day or so.  At a guess, I'm assuming he has the authority to raise tariffs on everyone, not specific countries, except for national security issues and things like that.  I also heard - can't recall where - that these tariffs are limited to 150 days, or some short period of time.

It sounds like the former will cause some chaos around the world, the latter is a bit more iffy.  Those that have been hit with tariffs already can probably get through them for another few months, it's everyone else who suddenly has to deal with them.  So our allies would possibly be hit worse than our enemies.  International politics being what it is, this may have already been worked out with everybody in advance but it doesn't look like a good move.

We'll also see how the left responds and not just with hysteria.  I suspect that a lot of international deals have adjusting prices in a certain way to accommodate the right people.  It's those people who might be hit the hardest by this.  After getting through DOGE and the last year of Trump 2.0, they might not be able to handle more shocks.  They may be desperate and fall into a trap.

It's not clear if this is just hype or if there's something expected to happen, either at the SOTU or afterwards.  The impression, accurate or otherwise, is that the party has broken into pieces so everyone is trying to go their own way.  There's three different response speeches announced, one of them for a Spanish audience because I guess the others wouldn't have translators.  Others will be out at rallies or something like that.

Now those who will be there are being told not to heckle.  I don't see any specific names giving this order, suggesting either it's not real or that they plan to disobey.  It's not clear what kind of tyrant permits anyone to heckle but there's Trump for you.  I will continue to assume the party has a specific leadership planning all this but it doesn't look promising.

Iran and tariffs will probably be the main topics for the speech.  Maybe Epstein but it's not like Trump has said much about that for the last year.  I have to wonder how much Trump will even prepare, he doesn't strike me as someone who practices a speech in advance.  Or even has a speech, they might just list the points on a teleprompter and erase each one as he gets around to it.  I've covered the last year extensively but it's been so hectic, I can barely remember anything that happened.  But I don't have a memory, what's your excuse?

Things like this are going to keep happening.  The state admits that it can't stop them from working with ICE, only that it can't be a "formal agreement."  If they left that hole in the new law, I'm guessing they weren't stupid enough to really go after everything.  It's more for public consumption than a real regulation.  Don't know if it's likely but it's possible even the Democrat politicians were embarrassed that they had to do this.  They even admitted that federal law has to be followed.

Some of the bonds connecting society are breaking, others are being reinforced precisely to avoid these problems.  It's not clear which but a lot of the bonds go back so far that nobody even remembers how they came into existence.  This is a basic example, law enforcement as it deals with city, county, state and federal laws.  I'm not sure anyone has a good explanation of how they can best interact but many people have worked on this for many years and those that are based on reality have a better chance of lasting.

It's a sign that things are moving the right way, that civilization can overcome the chaos.  Those that pushed to destroy it, thinking they could restart on 'year zero,' won't survive but hopefully the rest of the people can.  Not saying it'll be fun or that anything can last forever but at least there's a chance to avoid the wreckage we've seen all our lives.

□ [“Obama and Susan Rice Cried in Front of White House Staff After Trump’s 2016 Win"]

I think they're also revealing more than they expected about their own connections.  We're starting to see this with the Epstein lists but this one stuck out for me.  Susan Rice was always in the background when Obama was POTUS.  She was also listed in the Epstein files - as far as I know, not for anything big - and she just made a speech about how the government will be weaponized against anyone who disagrees with Democrats the next time they're in charge.

And here she is crying.  More importantly, Obama is crying too, in front of people.  He was never known as the most masculine of men but this is not a good look.  She's not your wife so what are you doing?  Obama was supposed to be a leader, this is not how they're supposed to behave.  But apparently this is on "Obama Foundation" footage now located at Columbia University.  This just comes off as Obama's boss was crying so he subordinated and cried along with her, begging the question of who was really in charge.

She had high-ranking positions for Clinton and Obama from beginning-to-end of both their two-term Presidencies, think-tanks and media Board of Directors in-between.  Her parents were black but quite wealthy and part of DC for a long time.  And also worked for Biden for at least three years.  Married to an ABC news producer, she's just deeply in the system she wants to control.  I'm not saying Obama was a total pawn but how far was he ever out of her grasp?

□ [“Supreme Court Strikes Down Trump’s Tariffs in 6-3 Decision"]

I guess this is today's big news.  Something about it doesn't seem as straightforward as the court ruling for or against.  It's like there's an immediate retreat by the Trump administration but not as much of one as it appears.  It's also quite possible that they've planned for this and already have the next step in place, whatever it is.

The majority vote was to treat tariffs like a tax.  That's probably fair, at least to an extent, as a tax on foreigners.  That would be Congress' job but there's still some leeway.  Tariffs can remain on steel and aluminum as part of national security.  Trump supporters are already listing the laws and regulations which would justify most of the tariffs he had imposed.

Furthermore, this may be less about the tariffs themselves but about Trump's justification, the 1977 IEEPA law giving the POTUS authority to regulate international commerce in the case of emergency.  Are we in an emergency or not?  And who gets to decide that?  If you say "Congress," they aren't doing anything.  If you say the "Supreme Court," then what other influence do they have over national trade agreements?  Trump has gotten a lot of deals signed with these tariffs, do those get repealed?  And who gets reimbursed?

This was from the lawsuit filed in April 2025 by New York, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Vermont, along with a number of private companies.  Looking into those may be relevant but like I said, I just get the impression this about something besides the actual tariffs.  Trump was asked if the six members of the Supreme Court would be invited to the State of the Union.  He wasn't nice with his answer but of course they were invited.  That's just Trump, an unprofessional way of being professional.

It's amusing to watch but I just assume he's going to do something really big and stupid, probably before the end of the year.  Declare he owns everything or send troops out to loot the rest of New York, something like that.  He needs something, even loyal Democrats are horrified by him taking away their money like this, and he hasn't even gotten around to raising property taxes.

He's also looting from the police, cutting the budget and getting rid of a few thousand officers.  There's always some areas the left is willing to immediately cut spending.  I'm sure he's keeping his armed bodyguards though, no reason to go overboard.

He did open the government grocery story which has already had long lines and empty shelves.  They didn't even print enough tickets to let people in so a lot of them waited for nothing.  Some people got to go in without waiting in line but it's not clear if they were elites or just common thieves.  Either way, they're above the peasants.

Even without the stupid stunt I mentioned earlier, he'll just increase government control over everything.  Prices, hiring, regulations, all that stuff.  If you can't afford anything, at least you can make everyone else's lives miserable.  Because you care so much.

□ [“Jasmine Crockett’s Texas Senate Run Seems Like an Afterthought Following Colbert’s James Talarico Stunt"]

I'm not that interested in Crockett or Colbert although I did notice the stunt.  The white male candidate had to get attention and the black female candidate was in the way so late night television was involved and they blamed Trump for everything.  Colbert filmed the interview with the white male but then complained that the FCC was trying to silence them so he posted it on youtube.  Now anybody can decide they want to vote for the white male from that interview and the black female doesn't have to be treated equally.

I think the only statement she's made on this was that she wasn't blaming the FCC for this mess.  She was probably only informed about it after-the-fact, like her or not she does have actual stuff to do so it was probably just a campaign issue until this happened.  Colbert gets another excuse to claim he's being silenced when nobody wants to hear him anyway and he's still paid very well.  But what I find interesting is that they're so quick to ditch the black female.  She's leftist, partners with AOC and represents the only voting block that didn't shrink for Democrats in 2024 but that's not enough, they want white males.

But they're doing it in such a fake way, instead of going for what voters actually want.  Do they really think this will win anybody over or is just playing to their own people?  Late night talk shows are not something that will win people over, the FCC has had these rules for most of a century, there are even signs that attacking Trump is getting tiresome.  And turning on their own side won't help any of that.

□ [“Former Prince Andrew Arrested on His 66th Birthday Over Epstein Scandal"]

Stop teasing me!  This seems like a really big deal, I don't want it to just fall away and be forgotten.  Over the last several months, the British Royal Family has seemed determined to cut all ties with him.  This was the first time one of those people has been arrested since 1647 with King [looks up name] Charles.  The current Charles had to give approval, which he did and released a public statement that 'the law must take its course.'  They know what Andrew was doing and this is the only way to save themselves.

Finally someone has been arrested for these crimes.  And considering who this is, that's why it's such a big deal.  British royalty is one of the most enduring institutions on the planet, even in its current state.  This royal house only dates back to 1826 and the founding of Belgium but the vast wealth and connections show what a big hit this is.  Andrew may not know everything that went on but he knows people who do.

And this means he has a reason to start naming names.  He has nothing else to offer and no one will try to save him.  Even if he isn't imprisoned, it's not like he has a comfortable life ahead of him with no money, job or ability to get one.  I still think the 'new world order' has appointed their elites and he would naturally be at the top with them, so he can spill what was going on.  This is why we've been so angry about nobody being arrested for so long, when the first one happens, the rest can follow.

Haven't seen any recent list of all the names in the files currently released although some are still coming out.  Supermodel Naomi Campbell was probably the biggest name for me.  I didn't even know she was black, I just knew the name, but Epstein obviously had connections to the modelling business, wonder why.  We'll also need to start listing the people who might not be big names but whose job it was to find future victims.

□ [“Second Day of Trilateral Talks in Geneva Between US, Russia and Ukraine Breaks Down"]

We're probably due for another rant by Trump that if a peace deal doesn't happen this time, he's done, gone, not going to take part in this anymore, no way!!!  I vaguely recall hearing something about talks going on now but can't say I've been paying attention to that.  But counting the number of perforations on the ceiling tiles is a far more crucial task.  And more enjoyable.

Apparently Russia stormed out today.  The article doesn't say why although it's probably some variation on not getting everything they want.  As always, the troops keep moving eastward.  Haven't heard anything about Kiev restoring electricity but I guess winter will be over in a month or so.  Zelensky's problem is that people on his own side are demanding peace and that's just those permitted to speak in his presence.  At this point, I have to assume Ukraine keeps the internet and media under tight control, otherwise their people might hear what's happening in Iran.

It might be a bit subtle because there's so little attention on Ukraine anymore but I've wondered if the Trump administration has been working to separate us from them, and the rest of Europe as well.  Hungary and Slovakia have stopped sending diesel fuel and energy to Ukraine.  Last year Ukraine damaged the Druzhba pipeline which provides Eastern Europe with Russian oil and they want it back.  They've been helping Ukraine and that's what they get for it?

I get that Trump has to deal with the whole world and this war has been going on for ages but it's a regional issue that's gone on before we were born and will still be going on long after we're dead.  Expose the way Ukraine launders all this money, along with whatever other obsession the liberals have with this place, support Eastern Europe's defense and call it a day.

My big worry is that is the same waste of time we see with Ukraine.  Stop talking about doing something or giving up or whatever, just get rid of the mullahs.  That said, this does come off as more relevant than you might expect.  His actual statement is a bit more vague but he still specifies the next 10 days, indicating that all the pieces are now in place, or close enough to move forward.  We should know what's happening by the end of February.

I'm absolutely certain it's not going to be an invasion, not like the sort of things you'd expect.  As we saw with Venezuela, there are other possible tactics to take down the people in charge, I totally expect Trump to go with one of those.  Or it will be deliberately quiet, suddenly we drop a few bombs in a random location and the next thing we know, the mullahs and Revolutionary Guard have all vanished forever.  Probably weren't vaccinated against covid or something.

Poland just told their people to GTF out of Iran now.  Leaving aside WTF they're doing there in the first place, I think that's the second or third country to make this call in the last week or so.  Get out of the danger zone.  US planes are still going overhead, that probably helps motivate the protesters.  They've got to fight for their right to Persia but, along with whatever we've got happening on the ground, they know we're part of it.  We're all just waiting...

This conveniently lines up with several major desires of leftists.  First of all, they need to get their hands on kids.  Second of all, they want all kids trained to obedience.  Third, this gives them casualties to promote about how they're all part of the 'resistance' and cry about any casualties.  Fourth, the teachers can claim - honestly or otherwise - that they had nothing to do with it, it's all the kids doing this.  Fifth, it's only a difference of degree from who you need to draft when you're at war, which the left claims they are.  They're all expendable.

Some schools are speaking out that children taking part of this will be punished.  No idea if that will actually happen or if it's just a public statement to keep the schools safe.  Parents are also speaking out that they oppose their kids being drafted into this.  I'm guessing that home schooling is going to be more and more popular in the near-future.

I don't have a dog in this fight so I'm really not sure what the main impact will be.  The left really needs to keep pushing people out to get Civil War 2.0 going for real.  I'd be fine with shooting them dead but other people closer to the front-lines probably have a different opinion.  They really are trying to put everything in, still believing they know best and they're the majority.

I notice the word has finally be sent out to stop calling Trump 'hitler,' probably because he'd have wiped them out long ago if that was true.  Of course there's still all the footage of Democrats saying that for the last ten years but that's another tactic, trying to gaslight their followers.  They'll all suddenly be ignorant of everyone saying this and call any footage fake, just more denying reality.  That's how they were taught as children.

□ [“Trump to Direct Pentagon to Release Government Files Related to Aliens and UFOs"]

He's spent over a year preventing the Epstein files from coming out but just one flip of a switch and he wants to put this out now?  I've already been wondering why he hasn't done that already.  I'm sure there's many rules for the highest levels of classified information but this is the sort of thing you'd expect every POTUS to get involved in, out of curiosity if nothing else.

Several days ago, Obama was giving an interview and asked if there were aliens.  He didn't hesitate, he said "yes."  Then he added that he hadn't seen them himself and there weren't underground facilities, unless they were all part of some conspiracy against the POTUS.

Exquise me?  Baking powder?  Of course there's conspiracies to keep the POTUS ignorant.  That's how the chain-of-command works.  As an Army supply sergeant, I couldn't have gotten half my work done if I had to inform the commander about everything.  The POTUS is a few levels higher than that.  Obama must have given away the game because he later had to speak out and say he was just 'speculating' on the odds that there was something out there.  He's made it this long without having to be taken seriously, he's not going to start now.

I think there's *something.*  I don't really believe in aliens and space ships and all that.  My guess is whatever there is runs closer to ghosts or demons then the sci-fi concepts all the conspiracies center around.  But I also don't care that much.  Trump was asked about Obama's statement and said he didn't know if there aliens but Obama was giving away classified information.  I'm guessing that was the real point being made and frankly, there's a fair chance that the two of them agreed to handle it this way.  I freely admit that I'm much more interested in earth-bound conspiracies at this point.  What I really want to know is why Trump hasn't retracted the regulations that keeps hoverboards away from the public.

□ [“Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ Is Doing the Job That NATO and the UN Can’t"]

I haven't paid any attention to the 'board of peace,' I don't even know who else is involved in it, but I'm just very skeptical.  What is there to stop it from just become an updated version of the UN?  Maybe not right away but in ten or twenty years.  It just comes off as a permanent dream that deludes a lot of people into thinking it will work in reality.

The concept has its good and bad side.  Like the UN before it, we should have a place where nations can make agreements and resolve problems peacefully.  But also like the UN, there are issues that simply cannot be solved.  Just look at Israel, founded by the UN, it should be the ideal, but it's unanimously opposed by those who run the UN.  That won't be fixed and I'm probably not the only person to compare this to the Tower of Babel.  Which, in case you don't know, doesn't exist anymore.

Then there's the problem of competing with the UN, however long it continues to exist, and BRICS.  That would just be an updated version of the Cold War.  Maybe it's just natural for there to always be conflict between the two biggest sides of human existence.  Britain versus France, Europe versus the Turks, Rome versus Carthage.  Of course if that's the case then these big groups would just be increasing the problem, but it's the way things work.

□ [“Dems Plot to Make a Circus Out of the State of the Union Address, Because of Course They Do"]

If Trump wants my advice, don't even bother with a speech.  As far as I know, there's no rules beyond the Constitution requiring an occasional report so just email them.  I know, I know, Trump is a showman, of course he wants to give a speech.  I'd just like to hear about - since it's not like I'll watch it - the novelty of doing something different.  And doing it this way means Democrats get to put on their own show with whatever idiotic stunts they come up with.

A week or so ago, Fetterman called out Democrats to not do anything stupid.  Of course they're going to, what else do they have to do?  Maybe Trump can bring the black kid out again so they can ignore him again.  Or the Iranian Grand Ayatollah, 'look who we just picked up!'  See how many will applaud then.

Because of all the secret intel games going on, maybe each member of Congress will receive a file, probably a standard practice, but these include the Epstein files that they really don't want released.  This speech will be given next Wednesday, I think the Clintons are supposed to testify to Congress the following day or so.  We still don't know what these people are really trying to do but we're supposed to be close to something happening.

□ [“The Iranian Regime’s Days Are Numbered – Explosions Reported Across the Country"]

I was expecting them to be gone by the end of January, look how that worked out.  I still think there is a mission underway but it is not clear what it is or when we'll see it.  If these explosions are real - and as always, we can't trust the reports - I bet they're hitting crucial locations for the government.  No idea what it could be but it probably isn't just random attacks or even the protesters.

The US has been having talks with Iran regarding their nuclear program.  It doesn't seem to be going anywhere - just like Ukraine - but I don't think it's expected to go anywhere.  Not sure if it's a distraction or if they're secretly about some other topic but I don't think either side intends it to go to any peaceful agreement.  Maybe the Mullahs wouldn't be permitted to surrender by their Revolutionary Guard and this is a way to give up while having a chance of staying alive.

I'm still surprised that, at least publicly, Iran is getting no support from the Muslim world, BRICS or even leftist protestors.  They must be getting assistance from somewhere but there's no clue from who.  And even that doesn't seem to be as helpful as you might expect, North Korea maybe?  The UN?  I still think the regime is ready to fall, I'm just disappointed that it hasn't happened yet.

□ [“NYC’s Mamdani Seeking First Property Tax Hike in Decades to Cover Budget Deficit"]

I try to ignore this idiot but he just won't go away.  Now he's trying to threaten the state of New York because they won't raise taxes the way he wants and - I'm assuming it's based on state law - he can't just raise taxes in the city itself.  Property taxes are the only place they can do that so Mamdani is threatening to do that unless the state raises taxes.  There's a chance they'll comply but it seems unlikely so he's going to need to screw over his own people, just like he's already doing to everybody else.

He couldn't clean out the snow after a storm - except at the Mayor's mansion - or get garbage picked up - ditto - and now he's saying that NYC is suddenly in massive debt which undoes all the 'free stuff' promises he made to take power.  This is where the left realizes they need to blame everybody else for their problems because otherwise they'll have to do something themselves.  NYC could just cut spending and it would be much easier to handle the debt, but that's not an option.  So poor and middle-class people need to pay higher taxes on rent and property, they just have to suffer.

I still don't get how or why they would do this but it just looks like the Trump administration is deliberately getting the left so outraged they'll seize power wherever they can.  Then they'll flop like this.  We don't know if that will really get through to the citizens but it will to the rest of us, they can't live up to their own beliefs and all they can do is demand more power.  That's why I'm tired of whatever plans the Trump administration has in motion, I want the world to see these people solidly defeated.  Don't wiggle through 52-48% of the vote in November, I want them to lose completely where even devout leftists can't deny it.
