□ [“Trump Put Senate on Notice, He Will Sign No Other Bills Until SAVE Act Passes"]

This is one of those Trump stunts that simultaneously cool, idiotic and irrelevant.  I'm guessing it's more about him being the psycho offering a deal, you never know what he's going to do next.  That's the cool part, along with the fact that he's threatening this to get a bill passed that makes voters require ID and eliminates a things like mail-in ballots unless there's a specific reason for them.

The bill also bans funding for mutilating children with transgender surgery.  That's just stupid, why is it part of this bill?  This shows the problem with Trump's threat, if Congress suddenly passes that bill separately, is Trump going to refuse to sign if the SAVE Act isn't passed?

He does have an advantage here, he's an individual handling his side of the negotiations.  Congress is a lot of people and each one has to handle their own groups.  But he still has to get through Congress, they need 60 votes just to end the debate.  If Trump is serious about this, it's similar to a shutdown since he won't sign anything from Congress.  We can think of a lot of good reasons for that but there's still the problem that something else will go wrong.

I'm a little behind on up-to-date methods of picking a new ayatollah but is the previous guy's son really the best choice?  These are trying times and it just seems like you should at least be checking every possibility, not just going with the same bloodline.  The previous ayatollahs weren't related to each other.  I'm ready to make a joke about how this is what separated Sunni and Shi'ite Islam but it was Mohammed's son-in-law that was supposed to be picked so that joke wouldn't work.  Anyway...

We're still bombing Tehran.  I assume Iran is still hitting back with at least some success but haven't seen any reports on that.  We know they still have allies even if they aren't rushing out publicly to help.  There's also a celebration of Iranians all around the world, thanking Trump and Israel for doing this.  In these days of anti-immigration, you can ask why they're still staying here outside Iran.  Or "Persia" rather, apparently there's already talk about returning to that name.

There's more incidents in this, someone reportedly screamed "Allahu akbar" and tried to throw a bomb at a NYC rally.  I assume they're Iran's allies although they might just be on-offs who see an opportunity so they go with it.  It might even be funded by China and Russia because what has BRICS got to lose at this point?  Or rich leftists for the same reason.

This is where it's going to get hectic.  Everybody's in danger so a lot of people will refuse to put up with leftist bullshit.  At least the worst-of-the-worst had a reason to go fight us in Baghdad, that option's off the table now so it can happen anywhere.  It probably won't but that's not going to stop people from worrying.  And since Democrats cut funding for DHS, now they have some problems, especially at airports.  What a coincidence.

The price of gas is probably going to go up but Trump's been pushing 'drill, baby, drill' for over a year now.  One goal is to take immediate control of the Iranian refineries to keep the supply flowing and I'm sure they've done what they can to prepare.  Now we'll get to see leftists suddenly upset about the price of fossil fuels, completely contradicting all their other beliefs just to attack Trump and showing how irrelevant they are to reality.

Well let's get this party started.  Guantánamo Bay has troops on the far side of the island, let's send the Marines on the near side and let them meet in the middle.  Or keep them there to back-up the Cubans taking the real risk.  What Navy and Air Force are available at the moment?  Do I have to plan everything?

Just speculation but this may be the point for the new Shield of the Americas organization Trump has formed.  Since the Department of Homeland Security has suddenly gone away, he moved over the lady in charge to handle this instead.  Not sure if she's being punished, if this is a major task or if it's just a distraction from whatever the real major task is but this could be about overseeing what's going on in this hemisphere, just another term for 'homeland security.'

Europe is where I want to see this.  At least according to the internet, they're getting ready to burst open.  It might actually be harder for them to rebel than for Cuba or Iran but it's where civilization came from so I'm sure all sensible people want to restore it from the decades of leftism.  I keep returning to the Amelia A.I. character singing various songs of British history.  If I spoke French, German or Italian, I'd be going for those too.  This is a rebirth of nationalism in Europe and opposition to tyranny everywhere.  I know I'm being overly optimistic but it's still early March and I'm sure Trump expects some major progress by the Fourth of July.

He's specifically telling God to give him more Trump Derangement Syndrome.  He wants so much hatred that he's not capable of being able to see straight.  This is the leftist stereotype of stupid hate-filled right-wingers come to life.  Except that he's not a right-winger.  He just wants more hatred.  I don't know if an 81-year old should be allowed to drive a car anyway but you need to be able to see to do that.  Well he's probably rich enough to have a chauffeur but you get my point.

It's actually a bit spooky that he's been reduced to this and there's no one around him who will keep this private.  If you want evidence that our rulers are a demon-worshipping cult, here you go.  Who else would keep him around all these decades to make sure everyone can see this as an ideal to aspire to?  Drunk guys playing pool on Friday night can have better things to say.

The really scary part is that he's still prominent but otherwise there's a lot of leftists who are just like him in every way that matters.  It's why they know best and wake up every morning angry that the rest of the world doesn't understand that yet.  I really am trying to ignore any recent comments made by Carville because he's not that important but he still keep coming off as the stereotype of what leftism has been about all these decades.

It might have been better if you didn't say anything.  You've already spent four years showing the world what the EU will sacrifice for non-EU members and now you're just doubling down on not standing by your own members.  Maybe if Hungary left the EU, they'd get more support and protection.  It's not like they'd need to repay any of it.  You don't see Ukraine acting like it owes any EU member anything at all.

The EU will need to realize that they have to appoint the government in their respective... districts?  States?  Regions?  Whatever term they use for subordinates.  I'm sure they want to do this, your mileage may vary on if they already do.  Notice that they never put this up to a vote.  Might be interesting to look into the highest levels of the EU where the people actually get to decide who's in charge.

They might have to tell Zelensky to be quiet.  I'll assume he'll listen to them although it's possible he'll just keep going after Hungary.  He doesn't have much incentive to stay quiet and it's not like he can be punished for anything.  What are they going to do, suddenly decide that Iran and Greenland are more important these days?  Not likely so he might as well tell them to stfu and keep sending in money and equipment and everything else just as they've been doing.  And punish Hungary because he says so.

It's probably like when you have to tell your wife you're sorry for hitting her yesterday.  Wait, do Muslim countries do that?  Probably not, they have wives who know their place.  Not like the western world.  Where was I?

It sounds like the IRGC has taken over at this point, they don't need to listen to mullahs or other government officials.  That's understandable, no one else would be capable of running the war so it'll be interesting to find out how many of them have already been taken out by the US and Israel.  Not enough to end the problem but a serious dent in their defenses.

The US and Israel have stepped up attacks, most notably on oil depots and refineries.  I'm curious how much we're hitting the government or military.  On the one hand, those seem like the most obvious targets but we're probably also trying to limit the 'population reduction,' even for the enemy.  The arguments could be made either way and it's above my paygrade.  Iran is still striking back, they have hit Israel at least a few times.

We've sent in a third aircraft carrier, I'm sure its about overseeing the entire region, not just Iran.  There's also talk about whether or not we'll send troops.  I automatically assume we have special forces on the ground because duh but there's little-to-no interest in sending any large groups.  Trump is deliberately vague about this, which make sense, as are most of the official commenters, even the anonymous.

There might be some cracks but the left and their pet media still continue to side with the mullahs overall.  I'm not sure if anyone in Iran is capable of speaking out yet but Iranians elsewhere in the world are pissed that the left is ignoring what's going on just because they hate Trump so much.  I would be looking forward to the upcoming humiliation of the left for this stance but the only thing that comes to mind as a similar situation is Jonestown.

In case you've forgotten, cult leader Jim Jones finally gave up and had all his followers kill themselves.  Before that he was quite popular in San Francisco, involved with noted politicians Dianne Feinstein, gay icon Harvey Milk and Willie Brown, who was in the middle of his 30-year career in the California State Legislature before becoming San Francisco mayor and needing an assistant you may have heard of.  No known connection to Nancy Pelosi but she was involved in San Fran politics and it's unlikely she wasn't aware of his popularity.

I know this isn't really connected to Iran but this is one of the places modern leftism really started and as we're seeing in their response, it looks like they're coming to an end.  Let's just hope they keep it to themselves.

Oh.  My.  F*cking.  God.  Venezuela, Iran and now Cuba and we're still in early March.  Do you want statues the size of skyscrapers honoring you for thousands of years?  Because this is how you get statues the size of skyscrapers honoring you for thousands of years.

Interesting to note that Venezuela was specifically going after Maduro, whom the left has totally forgotten about since then.  Iran and presumably Cuba is trying to support the populous to do the rebelling.  I'm sure we have forces in place to help them where we can but at least in public, Trump is holding back on the powers under his command.  And that works for us as well as the population themselves, they're the ones who should be taking control and overthrowing the oppressors.

That's not going to happen in Russia or China.  I'd love to be proven wrong but I can't see that happening.  A less-positive outcome would be if Trump just announces that he is the 'new world order.'  He's winning over a lot of people, they might eagerly ditch any of the other international organizations to join up with him.  It does sound like the sort of thing Trump would like and he's been around leftists long enough, he knows how it works.

Hopefully I'm just being too negative, I really hadn't even thought Cuba was on the table, at least not yet.  I think there's been a few comments about trying to do something with it by the end of the year but if the people can't wait, that's what you get.  I'm also being too optimistic, there are still many many problems and this is the first news of anything really happening in Cuba.

It's strange, I don't follow these people.  I have to stop and look up who this elitist *woke* b*tch is married to and have no clue what else she's famous for.  Yet I am somehow curious about the mess this couple has gotten themselves into by stupidly trying to get away from the royal family.  It's not complete, there's still a few royal titles Harry has to use.  There's also money although it's not clear if he actually has access to any of it.  Not sure how that works but I'm American so I don't care.

I think the reason I'm curious about this is just the way Markle really seemed to believe she could build some media empire with a wedding ring and a family name.  But she hated the family.  Barely a year and a half after they got married, they were out.  They got a deal with Disney to do voiceovers and some interview with Oprah Winfrey and...  other than the Netflix shows don't seem to have really done anything.  I don't know if those shows bombed but they weren't successful either, as seen by Netflix's decision here.

They haven't even been married for a decade yet and honestly, I'm surprised Meghan has stuck around this long.  I'd have expected her to rush to follow Princess Di as a happy divorcee, hanging around the ultrarich until the minute she died.  And for some unknown reason, she thought she had the popularity to build up herself as a corporate IP.  You already had that with the royal family and ditched that, only the truly delusional would think they had any change of a fraction of that success.

I do assume their marriage is just for the public.  Whether or not they had any actual attraction to each other at the beginning, it's gone.  The fact that Harry was stupid enough to get into this mess suggests that he's not going to get any smarter but Meghan shows that anything can be ditched for no good reason.

Seems creepy enough but it gets worse.  Employees of a state-owned Ukrainian bank were transporting the money from Vienna to Kiev.  Is this really the time that Ukraine needs more gold?  And if they do, why?  That's suspicious enough.  But Ukraine immediately lashed out, their foreign minister insisting the convoy was just standard banking procedures and now these men are held hostage and the money stolen by Hungary.  Safe to assume all EU-supporters will side with the non-EU member against the EU-member.  But it gets worse.

The two countries are already arguing about Ukraine shutting off the Druzhba pipeline which brings in oil from Russia.  Ukraine says it was an accident and blames Russia, Hungary doesn't believe that and are sending out troops to guard it.  Hungary is already refusing to vote for the EU to send still-more money to Ukraine, so Zelensky just responded "We hope this one person [Orban] in the EU will not block €90 billion aid.  Otherwise, we will give this person's address to our armed forces"

Leaving aside how idiotic it is to make this threat, where did Ukraine get the military members with the free time?  Will Russia just hold off until they're ready?  It's things like this that make their war look like it's always been a fraud.  But it still gets worse.

□ [“Russia Provides Iran With Intelligence To Help Target US Troops and Military Assets"]

It's believable that they would help a BRICS ally but this isn't where we want the war to go.  And Ukraine is sending people to help the US with drones.  They're trying to get us involved which is bad enough, but the sides would be picked.  And that's not even considering what China's involvement would mean.  Until now, it looked like Russia and China were perfectly willing to stay out of it, that Iran wasn't that sort of an ally.  But if they're really involved then all bets are off.

Maybe we'll be lucky and this is a return to nationalism which would effectively make all sides stronger.  Britain, France and Germany insist they want to be involved, which would mean more dedication to a healthy military than they got from Ukraine or Greenland.  Northern Europe is looking for ways to build its own defenses, which you'd think they'd already have because Russia is right next-door but apparently they weren't aware of that.

There's still the tension in the Middle East and now Pakistan appears to be trying something.  There's South America and these are just the problems coming to mind off the top of my head.  China and Taiwan?  South Africa?  It's one thing to get into a fight with a determination to win but we still don't even know who we're fighting, other than *everybody.*

It's the FBI so there's no reason to believe it but this does indicate that the war is also going on in cyberspace.  It sounds like their files have been hacked, maybe by China, but this is going on all across the board.

For those who don't know, I write and publish books, available on Amazon.  But several days ago my account was suddenly shut down and all my books are unavailable.  I'm pretty sure I haven't dealt with any real people, only repetitive A.I. because they never point to anything actually wrong and the page they link me to covering their rules has nothing to do with any of my work.  Yet I'm off the grid now for some reason.  Anyway, it sounds like this is happening to a lot of others.

Amazon's data centers are located in Dubai and Iran has aimed at those.  The Middle East accounts are chaos and many US accounts have been hit too, probably including mine.  EU and Britain are mostly untouched though.  I was really happy to say I'd already published four books in 2026 - assuming you count "Big Beautiful Book" which was published on January 1st - and now I'm hit with this.  But there might be more danger coming.

Well poke my eyeballs and call me 'Curly,' it looks like we've got a real plan underway!  [Note:  eye pokes are limited to one per customer]  Because of what we've got going on with Iran, shipping is way down in the Straits of Hormuz, including about half the oil being shipped to China.  They need 11 million barrels of oil each day so cutting that in half is a big deal.  And this would reduce pollution so liberals are surely in favor of it and...  Where was I?

We've hit Venezuela, now Iran, that limits where China can get oil from.  Iran has intentionally attacked other Muslim countries for some strange reason so they're not inclined to help Iran's ally right now.  I'm sure Russia is capable of producing enough oil to satisfy China but I'm pretty sure they can't just flip a switch and have it ready to go.  Are there any other options?  Solar power?  Wind power?

The estimates is that with current rate of consumption, their strategic reserves would be empty in about three months.  And by an amazing coincidence, in a little under three months, Trump will have to get Congressional permission to keep this conflict going, under the War Powers Act.

Are you sh*ting me?  China isn't remotely defeated but it's suddenly facing a large economic downturn if it can't get fuel.  It can't get fuel because we've taken down two of its main BRICS allies in two months.  It's limited even more because of Trump's tariffs.  These nations can't use their terrorist allies against us because ICE has been arresting them and it can't finance others because DOGE has found out where the funding comes from.

I keep complaining that Trump hasn't showed us any real plan or achievements to show for it.  I'll continue complaining but there you are, this is the resistance to the 'new world order' that he's built up in the last fourteen months.  Now we'll have to see how Xi and Putin respond.  Russia's got its own problems and I suspect Putin is happier being a regional power, he had to live through the Cold War after all.  But China is very big and difficult, for all the ability and influence Xi had to get himself in this position, we'll find if he has what it takes to keep it.  This also explains why Congress is doing nothing, they can't get involved without helping the enemy.  I've been astounded since I learned this earlier today, just... Wow.

Will the Supremes ever become predictable?  I'm just going to keep assuming they'll continue disappointing us at the most crucial moment but this does count as a win.  Immigration judges have priority to determine the facts and can't be overruled by the appeals courts the way the left has been doing.  Appeals courts can point to where the facts are wrong but are limited to what the immigrant courts have decided.

Not sure what but this has something to do with the distinction between the three branches of government.  The executive branch handles some courts, including immigration.  The judicial branch handles others and Congress passes the laws to determine which cases go to which branch courts.  This does seem to be reinforcing the actual rules and not just pushing an agenda.

Since most people don't follow the judiciary, we won't notice or understand if there are any changes.  That's good and bad but in this case, it appears mostly good.  I'm guessing the Trump administration is trying to aim cases at higher courts that require this simplicity, what the laws says, who decides, the basic requirements of a court that everyone can go along with.  That's necessary if you expect society to survive.  So the Supremes unanimously spoke the basic truth, that way they don't have to look for real jobs.

The guy's main public reputation was saying "you're fired!" so we knew that it was going to happen often in this term too.  But to be honest, I was hoping it wouldn't.  I wanted to believe he found people competent and committed to the mission for the full four years.  I haven't really followed this so I don't know why she was fired.  Reportedly it's something about a $200 million ad campaign, I'm not going to bother checking if that's really what this was about or just an excuse.  Or maybe a distraction from whatever the real reason is.

Noem isn't leaving, she's just being moved over to head a different group no one has ever heard of.  That could be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it.  It's also a negative thing about Trump that the people he kicks out aren't capable of staying relevant in their own right.  It's definitely a trait that runs across the right and the left, their big names rarely choose any subordinates that make people go 'wow' and want to follow them to see what they'll do next.

So now there will be more hassles getting the replacement through Congress.  He's a member of Congress already so that'll be one less vote for Republicans.  I don't get why it's never an option to find somebody else.  Trump came in from the private sector and he's doing well, why find more of that?  It's just another problem to deal with and is very tiresome, especially for something that matters like Homeland Security.

Or maybe she actually did support leftism and had just done a good job of hiding it.  We still have to face that among RINOs and the 'deep state.'  I'm not sure that's a problem that can ever be solved, it's just natural when the government is so fricking huge.  Even Trump can't cut it down enough, all he can do is set the example and hope others follow it.  And they probably won't.

I'm guessing the Trump administration had prepared for this but I don't recall hearing anyone else consider the possibility that Iran would just lash out at their neighbors like this.  It makes sense, at least to an extent, that they need to show they still have power but at the very least you'd think they'd aim at US bases in these nations.  They've hit one or two of those but it's mostly been property and citizens of those nations, no effect on the US at all.  That's not a smart way to handle a war.

Reportedly the US and Israel have basically taken out the Iranian military.  Iran doesn't seem to be getting much help, other than leftists mourning the Ayatollah on the internet.  Well, some are holding memorials in public too but they get interrupted by Iranians who are happy about it.  The left is going to have to get to a point where they question why they're opposing Iranians about Iran.  Might still take a while but they really need to start working through this.

Might take years to figure out how he did it but somehow Trump managed to get rid of Iran's useful allies while increasing their reliance on useless ones.  And every other nation has to wonder what might happen to them if they screw up.  As I write this, there's news that Cuba is very desperate.  They totally depended on Venezuela which has suddenly stopped being so useful.  Their rulers probably want to keep away from the same fate hitting them.  Trump even says this wasn't that important to him but there's a lot of people to whom a free Cuba matters.

Losing Democrat Primary, Jasmine Crockett Claims “Republicans” Are Cheating - Previously Called Voter Fraud a ‘Conspiracy’
March 4, 2026

□ [“War Powers Resolution to Restrain Trump’s Action in Iran Fails in the Senate"]

As if there weren't enough things to worry about, Democrats have found another way to cause problems.  They're going to keep bringing these bills to a vote because all they need is a few Republicans to cave one time.  So that's something to deal with.

I am amused that they're complaining about "the lack of a clear game plan for ending the conflict."  If they could tell the future, they'd know which lottery tickets to buy.  They've obviously put a lot of work into these plans but the enemy gets a vote too and there's no way to know what's going to happen before the end.  And by the way, Democrats are really eager to tell the enemy what the plans are so there's a reason to keep any real plans secret from them.

One thing they're ignoring is how Trump has gotten the rest of the Middle East in on this.  I haven't seen anything specific but reportedly Saudi Arabia is ready to send in their airforce to bomb the mullahs out of existence and the Kurds have already gotten started as ground forces.  Trump has united the Muslim world to side with Israel and you see nothing worth noting about that?

Then there's the way the EU seems to be breaking apart on a daily basis.  There's the way Russia and China are, at least publicly, staying out of this.  We're watching a massive change in international alliances and there's no way to know what will happen next.  If Trump actually had a plan, the left is mindlessly obeying it without the slightest clue what they're doing.  Most likely he just as a goal and taking down the mullahs is the next step towards that.  He's well on his way, enjoy the ride.

It looks like the committee is making important points but there's no way Democrats will do anything about.  If nothing else, they need to feed their voter base who refuses to see anything important.  Even if the Democrats in Congress knew where this was going and supported it, just pretending to distract their own followers until it was too late, there'd be no way for this to be made public.  It's not like they can work for a goal that would get them thrown out of office.

*Maybe* there's a point to this.  Perhaps that's why Congress really isn't doing anything because anything they could do would be a disaster.  They really are their own biggest argument against a republic.  It should also be noted that we are at war and, as far as we know, it's been going on for a while.  The required military mindset does not allow democracy, that's why we have a commander-in-chief.  Whom half the country hates and their fake media insists is tyrannical.  There's really not a good way to make it work and face it, the honest immediate response would be 'why are we fighting for this again?'

Israel allows abortion and gay marriage yet the left never appreciates that.  At this point the closest to that in the Middle East is, well, Iran where a bunch of women have suddenly started dressing like whores.  And guess what Democrats unanimously do not support.  

This is another example of the change we're seeing in the world order these days.  At least at the moment, Newsom is still one of the top Democrat candidates for 2028 and he's bringing nothing new to the discussion, unless you count the wreckage of California.  He's obviously not capable of thinking of anything but you'd think people around him would straighten him out.  But then if they tried, they'd get immediately fired.  Or worse, they'd have to face the leftist audience who actually like it this way.

These leftist elites will be the last ones to see what's changed.  Don't know what's going to happen and I'm not saying it'll be automatically a good thing but at least some of us can see that the times they are a-changing.  Could have been a lot sooner if we had actual leadership a decade or three ago.  But on the other hand, things can always get worse so who knows where we'd be now if we'd had good leadership in the past?  Almost makes you understand why people like Newsom just stay where they are and never move.

□ [“Black Lives Matter Illinois Founder Beats His Female Employee After She Asks Him For Money"]

Financial problems causing problems in a relationship?  They were caught on camera and both agree that she came in asking for money but the rest of it is contradictory.  Neither of them look good and the guy was beaten up on camera by a female.  What kind of black man are you, not able to beat up a woman?

He says he told her the organization has no money.  Not that he wouldn't give it to her, just that they were broke.  He says he tried to leave but she grabbed him and the fight started.  She says he started the fight because he's the one who spent all the money.  But she won't press charges because it wouldn't look good for a BLM employee to send another BLM employee to jail.

It sounds like they're not getting paid by USAID or whatever government organizations DOGE has shut down from funding leftism.  It also sounds like they don't have anywhere else to look for help, even other BLM groups.  So then what are they doing?  Are they just trying to avoid getting a real job because then they'd be in trouble for fighting co-workers?  Maybe they had some personal relationship but if this is going on elsewhere, BLM is having problems it created for itself.

□ [“Smoothie King Swift Action After Employees Refuse To Serve Trump-Hoodie-Wearing Customer"]

This was a bit odd, it's been at least a month or so since people were posting stupid videos that got them fired immediately.  And in this instance, it was the customers, not the employees, who made the videos.  I got the impression the customers knew about such events and were a bit surprised that they'd be taking part in one.  Could have just served the customers like everyone else.  Or if you really want to be an asshole about it, at least don't point to their Trump logos and say how scared you are of them.

If anything, this could encourage more people to go shopping in Trump hoodies or t-shirts or caps.  You're the ones who started this problem and what are you going to do?  Nothing because they outnumber but how do you explain to your boss that people kept wearing the name of the POTUS so you can't even?  It might become an extra question to ask potential employees to a customer service job, 'how will you treat people who wear logos of political figures you disagree with?'

Checking into a it a little, one of the employees did film this event as it happened.  Don't know if she posted it online at the time or later but it's amusing to think that when you disagree with someone in public, they may be partially focused on using their phone during the discussion.  Might also be something the company will want to ask about during interviews, 'can you just leave the existing cameras to cover the event as it happens?'  Not that I totally disagree, if nothing else you might want your own version of events as they happen.

The other thing I like hearing about this event was that people are still paying attention.  The video was released and people immediately tracked down the two employees names, social media and any other relevant information.  This might have been 24 hours from start-to-finish.  And nobody's speaking out to defend these employees, even to give them another chance.

□ [“Spain Breaks with European Powers, Bars American Use of Bases in Middle Eastern Conflict"]

Well they have a lot of Muslim voters to keep happy.  The US didn't get to use Spanish military basis the last time Muslims had so much authority in Spain, jus' saying is all.  But they are making a point of disagreeing with France, Germany and Britain.  No idea what level of power or authority Spain is at anymore but there is the history.  They were storming the world as a united country back when the rest of Europe was just a bunch of tribes (with, admittedly, some very expensive people in charge.)

As far as I know, France is the one that's jumped in to help first.  I don't know if they have any real motivation or if they're just trying to suck-up to Trump.  No idea what Germany is doing and it looks like Britain is only going along because it was outvoted by the other two.  Then what was the point of leaving the EU in the first place?  And aren't these three nations supposed to be getting ready to fight the US over Greenland?  You're already trying to protect Ukraine, I think you're getting a little overwhelmed here, especially since you still don't have a freaking military.

Trump has already responded to Spain by cutting off all trade deals with them.  Pretty sure that'll hit them harder than it'll hit us but we'll see.  I don't think this will affect the EU directly although it might push individual members a little harder in different directions.  Whatever decision each nation makes and for whatever reasons they have, they'll need to look even closer at who might or might not be on their side when things get rough.  And it will definitely get rough, we're fighting Iran and they'll use all their influence worldwide to strike back.

I admit, I'm surprised that they were still able to give such a big response.  Multiple targets in multiple nations all at once and it wasn't just aiming missiles in random directions, they hit the targets they were sent out for.  Remember, unlike liberals, sensible people respect the enemy's ability.  They're still capable of fighting back and they pushed it hard.  Doesn't look like they caused major damage or casualties but that's effectively irrelevant.  At some level, from a military perspective it doesn't matter that our forces were lucky enough to survive, although the actual results are obviously the most important perspective.

But it's giving the rest of the Middle East even more incentive to fight back.  Can't remember where I saw it but Saudi Arabia is reportedly planning to seen ground troops into Iran.  They're just across the Arabian Gulf, why not?  It's also reported that the CIA is trying to get Kurds to attack as well.  In theory that sounds fine but we're at a point where there's no reason to trust the CIA on anything.

So far China isn't getting involved militarily although they are probably working in other ways, especially with the internet and whatever agents or technologies they have.  Iran's foreign minister has said the government no longer controls the military, they are isolated.  In some ways that's hopeful for the regime although in other ways that's just easier targets for the US and Israel.  Apparently Israel killed yet more leadership as they got together to pick a new mullah.  Gee, it's almost like God is sending a message to Tehran, don't do that again.  If that's not enough, Rubio says the attacks will be much bigger in the next few days or weeks.

□ [“'He Is a Liberator' Free Iranians Thank Trump, But Shia Muslims Chant 'Death to America'"]

Now we will see what Iran can do with non-military forces, along with allies like China, Russia and globalists.  I'm guessing we'll see the main attack come from leftists because face it, Iran has long known how to use them.  They have experience ordering people to go after non-white non-males like the people thrilled at the chance for freedom.  Liberals enjoy that too.

So we get videos of leftists saying Iranian women look like "hookers."  Well, girl takes off the burkha, that's what she's going to look like.  Amazing how the left does an immediate 180 on anything if Trump gets credit.  If it wasn't so pathetic, this would be entertaining to realize just how unconnected the left is to their own beliefs that they've been imposing on us for decades.

You also get people posting military wives the hope that their husbands die.  That's more traditional for left, they worship death anyway, especially for anyone they don't like.  Because tolerance!  We see this when we're not vaccinated against covid, Democrats are promising to do this if they ever get power again, there's the support for the murderous transgenders, the murder rate in liberal cities and just the way they ignored Iranian protesters for weeks until Trump finally got this started.  They really don't see anything wrong with this.

At some point there will be suicide bombers and other forms of terrorism.  Not sure how the left can be trained for that but I'm sure they'll find a way.  They're willing to do it and don't even need to convert to a religion for the excuse so they're totally expendable.  On the bright side, they're already a minority so this will just give them more "population reduction."

Michigan Couple Denied Service at Smoothie King For Wearing A Trump Hoodie
March 2, 2026

That moment when you realize that three words have shaped the last couple decades of US politics, "anybody but Hillary."

I still don't think Obama thought he had any chance of winning the nomination.  He was putting his name out, he might last a couple rounds in the primaries and that would be it.  He'd go back to the 'vote present' political jobs he always had like the Senate.  Maybe Hillary would pick him for a cabinet post, maybe even as veep, but he was thinking of some future run for POTUS.

But too many Democrats really didn't want her.  Obama did much better than expected and they began to organize around him.  This helped push the *woke* agenda, there were other motivations, but they were all centered around Hillary being the wrong person to unite behind.  Joe Biden tied for first in dropping out of the primaries, that's how much chance he had.

So then Hillary was stuck supporting someone who wasn't her as POTUS.  Yes, she got appointed to a position and was proud to have burned more fossil fuel than any Secretary of State in history.  Can't think of anything else positive to say about that and then she dropped out to do nothing for four years.  She's never been an active politician so that was normal for her.  Joe Biden would have been the obvious choice so somehow they had to find a reason for him to drop out.  Biden never remembers where his son died but that was the excuse they found.  Now the next party nomination was guaranteed.

Except it wasn't.  Bernie Sanders was in the same position Obama had been in and the primaries lasted a long time.  He had even less chance than Obama and I don't think he was ever serious either.  I assumed it was about pushing the *woke* agenda even more, Hillary would just be the figurehead to make the public comply.  But that meant a lot of people had been burned by the time Hillary finally got the nomination.  Bernie had lasted almost two months longer in the primaries than Hillary had in 2008.

And this was where the "anybody but Hillary" meme came into play with Trump.  It's long been noted that she didn't even campaign that much.  Even before her September 11 collapse in public, she was missing a lot of days as the election date got closer.  This time everything would happen the way she wanted.  Whether you like Trump or not, he put in the work.  And he has a better grasp of public opinion, if it's him or Hillary, he's got a lot of votes right there.

At some level it had to be clear to Hillary that she had no chance after she lost here.  Sulks for a day or two before admitting defeat but that's about it.  She probably gives orders behind closed doors but no one has a reason to take her seriously as a politician.  Pushing 80, she's only held elective office twice as Senator from a state she didn't even live in.  Three times if you count the 2016 primary.  To be fair, Trump has only been elected twice but he had to do actual work to get that far.  The Art of the Deal was a best-seller back in the 80s and he made appearances around pop culture, movies, tv, music, comics, even before hosting a game show.

To an extent, I'm sure the Clinton Foundation is still bringing in money from foreigners.  But probably not as much, they don't really have anything to offer.  Bill is old, Hillary's always been lazy and unhealthy, who else is there?  Chelsea?  The foundation can be used to launder money and I'm sure they have connections to worldwide elites.  But Hillary's still not relevant to that either, everything important came from her husband.  Bill may have been the one to coin the phrase 'anybody but Hillary' although that was probably talking about his sex life.

The left had gotten bored protesting ICE and they didn't get anything done anyway.  No illegal immigrants that ICE was going after was saved from them.  But they need to move onto something else so now they get to support Iran.  But this attitude isn't going to work out well.  They need to ignore the War Powers Act of 1973 to claim Trump has started a war without congressional approval, this limits the number of people who could possibly believe them.

But they're ignoring other things too.  Just a few months ago, members of Congress made this big ol' speech about how the military must disobey illegal orders.  Now they claim the orders Trump is giving are illegal but the military is obeying so they'll need to be punished too.  That's also not going to work very well, they can take out Iranian's government and military without breaking a sweat, you really think you can overwhelm them?

They ignored the Iranian government attacking protesters all these months but only now show the slightest interest in what's happening over there.  They're also opposing tyranny but their own protests aren't in the slightest danger.  These are very obvious contradictions and they deliberately stay ignorant of them.  Leaders of the left may find themselves in a similar position to what the mullahs are facing now, they put themselves in this mess and their own supporters are just making things worse.

□ [“Austin CBS Reporter Defies Direct Orders to Censor Pro-Trump, Pro-Israel Crowds"]

Another crack in the shell of the elites.  Even the media is defying them to show actual support for getting rid of the Iranian regime?  No one would have expected that.  I will admit that it seems a bit suspicious for people to come out and gather like this.  It looks like it happened on Saturday so they may not have had jobs but it's not something right-wingers would do, so are they immigrants?

They'll need to hammer down on anyone who doesn't  tow the line.  CBS is owned by Paramount who needs to suck up to the Trump administration which just doesn't look good no matter what side you're on.  But all that said, at least there's an urge to put out some real news instead of what the elites want us to hear.  If it's happening on a local station, the higher ranks are having problems too.

At a guess, I think this reflects the difficulties the left is facing after all these years of pushing propaganda on us.  I'm sure you can point to earlier examples but an obvious starting point was 'global warming.'  We're all supposed to be dead by now.  Then there's the trans agenda, there's supporting whatever Democrats do and opposing Republicans doing the same thing.  There's an ever-increasing list if secrets being exposed which the media knew about all along but kept secret from the public.

Not sure if they're just flailing around in desperation or there's an actual plan underway to try to save them.  Probably both.  But this is what the media has brought upon itself, a living example of the old saying about how difficult it is to build trust from the audience but how easy that is to destroy.  It's even worse for these giant corporations which need government approval and are having a big problem bringing in money these days.

Hegseth “Typical NBC Sort of Gotcha Type Question, Joe Biden Didn’t Even Know What He was Doing”

□ [“Bill Clinton Deposition Released – Clinton Exonerates Trump"]

Footage of Bill and Hillary's testimony has been released, over four and a half hours of each.  I knew it would be pointless and tedious to listen to, so far I've gotten a little over an hour through Hillary and I was right about that.  I will admit a very slight interest in seeing - or at least listening - to how Congress actually works but it's obviously not going to go anywhere, at least not worth putting up with eight+ hours just to get to a few dramatic moments.

So far the attention is just on Bill defending Trump, or at least saying he wasn't aware of anything happening.  Of course both of them are completely ignorant of anything about Epstein until it all became public.  They're two of the most guarded people in the world and very rich, they'd have a lot of servants in line to stop anybody from getting too close without complete knowledge of who and what they're after.  So ultimately this makes the hearings seem pointless as far as we know.

I'm convinced that it was timed to happen while the fight with Iran was going on but I have no idea why.  I even assume that's part of the reason the Clinton's delayed it for months, or at least Bill did.  Then there's the fact that all the Epstein stuff has been building up to this.  It never gets any more understandable and I doubt these hearings will do anything to change that.  Go ahead, prove me wrong.
