□ [“Trump Warns Permanent Consequences for Every Lawmaker Voting Against the SAVE America Act"]

Gotta admit, I don't see the point either way on this.  I'm fine with torturing people to death for not carrying their $50,000 voter ID (or whatever this is about) but what does that have to do with banning boys from girls sports or preventing children from being sexually mutilated by transgenders?  Why are such wildly-different topics on the same bill?

But I also have to wonder why Democrats are so obsessed with this.  Yeah, sure, they need to count every illegal vote they can to stay in power but something about their opposition seems more desperate than you'd expect.  Almost 3/4 of states already require ID to vote - the few that don't are solid Democrat - so why is this a hill to die for?

I'm fine with requiring ID to vote of course but this seems to be a bigger deal for both sides than you'd expect.  Is this part of the congressional sausage-making process that the public doesn't get to see?  This really matters to the politicians but they need it kept hidden?  Maybe it's just about the uniparty promoting the immigrants replacing the citizens they have now.  That's believable but it still doesn't seem like a complete explanation of what this is about.

So that may be why Trump is talking about 'permanent consequences.'  I do assume this means he expects the bill to pass.  If he's wrong about that, it'll be a major defeat for him and I have no clue how he'll react.  I also have to admit, I really don't see why this is getting so much attention now.  Aren't there more important things going on to deal with?

Joe Biden Attacks Trump During ‘Surprise’ Appearance at St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast in Boston

□ [“California Blows $100 Million+ on a ‘Butterfly and Cougar’ Bridge With No End in Sight"]

Their high-speed rail disaster gets all the attention, I'd never heard of this one.  It's supposed to let butterflies and cougars cross a freeway in safety.  It was supposed to be finished in 2025 and cost a lot less money than it already has.  So of course they blame Trump for making them fail.

As much as I complain Trump isn't providing as many 'wins' as he should have by now, I will admit that he's doing a good job of undermining the leftist elites.  California and New York City are the most obvious examples, all their plans to seize money that keep failing, other than making things more expensive for the poor.  How many people in these locations actually see the problem, much less want to fix it?  Or are just fleeing before it's too late.  If it's the latter, they're probably the richer ones.

I'm also glad to see these reports are coming out.  These construction plans are almost-certainly just excuses to launder money away from the taxpayer.  Nobody anywhere along the line has to show genuine results.  They have the authority, they have other people's money, that means it's a complete success.  Any question can be answered with Orange Man Bad."

□ [“Civil Rights Icon Cesar Chavez Is Accused of Abusing Girls for Years"]

It's not an accusation, multiple girls around him at the time say he molested them.  Partially this is the left needing to eliminate some problematic icons so they can attack Republicans for doing what Democrats already do.  Chavez has been dead for decades, he's an easy target.  That's probably why the New York Times is the one releasing all this information now, the official new policy.

It's suggested that this also has to do with his public opposition to illegal immigration.  I doubt that, it's been public knowledge for a long time.  I knew about and I know almost-nothing about Chavez.  Sure, it's an excuse to say now that he's wrong about this stuff but that's about it.  The bigger problem is that the people around him knew about this and kept it secret for all these decades, making him into this icon.  There's already a push to start removing his name from street signs and buildings.  If that had been suggested just a few years ago, anyone who said that would be "racist" and "anti-union."

This is just another example of how the left insists on denying reality to think it can build its imaginary paradise.  It always fails and they have go back and erase it from history.  This is effectively the same thing as saying *real* communism has never been tried.  I'm wondering what leftist icons will be attacked next, probably should start looking at dead Hollywood stars and politicians.

He does have a point.  The US can take out Iran without help.  It's nice of Israel to be part of it but that's about it.  Meanwhile many NATO members use the Strait of Hormuz, you think they'd be a bit more willing to keep them open.  But no, they'll just rely on the US to handle everything.  Not a good look for them.  And I say this as someone who isn't impressed by Trump asking/demanding their help.  I'd rather the US take care of this on our own and then we call all the shots because no one else could be bothered to get involved.

Europe has depended on the strait for a long time, why haven't they ever done anything about it?  The oil is for your nations, you aren't using nuclear and the 'wind and solar' movements are a joke.  Iran has been a threat for half-a-century and you still haven't made any effort to protect yourselves.  Building the unelected EU was the priority and what good is it now?

Europe is also struggling as more people are opposed to the Muslim invaders.  More people are speaking out but that's not enough.  Because of the unelected EU, the continent may be too broken down to resist any longer.  I hope that's not true but they need to start fighting back and there's no sign of that.  Does anybody think the Muslim invaders are unarmed like the European natives are?

Oh.  Boy.  This is scheduled for a month from now, you think anything's going to change this time?  I still think there really was a plan here but that doesn't mean it's working very well.  So either they've reached the target and are ready to spill everything or Bondi will be out as AG.  If I had to bet, I'd pick the latter but maybe there's still a chance.

There seems to have been a drop of focus on Epstein since the Clintons testified.  A number of famous names have been released and, to various extents, they've reacted by running away from this.  Something about this has been changed and I'm not sure what, but I also don't see what the point is.  Perhaps it all comes down to whether or not Trump was a government informer on him.  If not, he was obviously in with Epstein.  If he was, who's going to believe that?

I vaguely recall something about Bondi's last testimony being relevant, to the point that it wasn't the huge disaster everybody else saw.  But I don't recall what that was and am not impressed enough with her to check back.  Trump is not making anybody tired of winning but he is making people tired of putting up with this nonsense, a lot longer than he promised.  Epstein's final arrest and death were under his first term and he said he'd release everything on 'day one' of his second.  Not working out so well and I'm not expecting any sudden explanations in the next month.

□ [“Trump Says US Doesn’t Need NATO, Japan, South Korea, Australia in Strait of Hormuz After They Snub Request for Help"]

This could go a couple different ways and there's no way to know which one is real.  It's possible that they are helping but can't say so in public.  Or they want to help but are completely incapable of doing anything.  Or that they side with Iran.  Or that they just oppose anything Trump wants no matter what.  Trump might be desperate for help or he might be making a point about how the rest of NATO is worthless and nations like Japan aren't willing to help themselves.  All these nations might be working together and this is just the public image they want to fool us with.

They might want to keep in mind the less they contribute to this fight, the less say they have in the results.  Do they really think Iran is going to win and reward Britain and France for staying out?  Not likely, Iran will more likely demand that they take in more Muslim immigrants because that's been working so well.

At this point it sounds like we've taken out virtually all of Iran's highest-ranking leaders.  The people do have a chance to fight back now with our support but they've got to do the work.  We'll probably find out within a few days if that's going to happen.  The other problem is speculation that although Iran likes having the chain-of-command, they don't need it.  Lower-ranking leaders will be working on their own individual group of resistance to the US and any protestors.  I don't know how likely that is but it's certainly possible.  It also sounds like the Revolutionary Guard is now completely in control of whatever's left in the government, regardless of the new ayatollah.

It's rumored that Iranian embassy in Copenhagen has raised the Persian flag.  Not sure if it's true or how long it lasted but that's definitely a good sign.  If more embassies do this, the mullah regime will be gone very soon.  But we'll still need to see just how much China and the rest of their allies are willing to support the current regime.  They appear to be turning away but anything could happen.

□ [“Investigative Journalist Nick Shirley Releases Video Exposing $170 Million in California Fraud"]

Another part of the war which is going quietly but will be very helpful.  He's doing what he did in Minnesota, pointing out fraud to hospices and daycare.  This is something the left and the uniparty need to completely ignore because they're behind it using taxpayer money.  Either they're part of the problem or are too stupid to do anything about it, neither option will keep them in power, so they'll stay silent.

Best of all, others have been inspired to work on exposures.  Los Angeles spent $10.2 million on a Ramada Inn for an NGO to house the homeless.  It's been abandoned for over four years, waiting to become permanent housing for homeless, and has cost over $20 million so far.  New York City has been exposed as spending an average of $81,228 on every single homeless person in 2024, up from averaging almost $28,000 per homeless person in 2019, but the number of homeless just keeps rising.  Then there's the voter fraud being exposed in California by James O’Keefe.  And those are just the stories that have just come out in the last day or so.

Trump just appointed JD Vance to a new organization to go after these frauds.  I hope that's a good plan, although it's the government so YMMV.  I really think it would help if the groups and individuals involved in these investigations could put together a simple instruction manual for everybody to take part.  Make it as easy-to-understand as possible so anyone who thinks there's something to look into can find ways to do it, or at least put together information that can help someone else doing the work.

As much as we all want to see this exposed, it's yet-another problem where we also need to see some immediate results.  Like them or not, the Trump 2.0 administration is just adding to the number of enemies we face and we've seen very little in removing any of them from active duty.  This is just pointlessly making us hope that someday there's measurable progress.  Trump is a showman, I still don't get how he can be missing this, as much as I support the resistance he's inspiring.

Total coincidence, I'm sure.  I'm not the sort of person who would say this is a message from God because everything is, the latest Disney bomb or my cat demanding food and then rushing off to nap without eating anything.  So I'm going to assume the US has loaded the Caribbean and probably elsewhere with this sort of weapon.  We're capable of doing this and few people on Earth had a clue about that.  You still think you can fight back against us?

I think the Cuban regime realizes this.  It's very sudden but they seem to have given up.  Now they're allowing Cubans who escaped to invest in their home country, capitalism.  Hate to say it but I don't see a better option.  If the government suddenly permitted actual freedom, people would riot or escape.  At least this give an option to rebuild something Cubans can be proud of - making it great again - as a better incentive for everybody.

It's another big problem, what will be done about the Cuban elites?  They won't want to lose power and although I'm fine with them all being executed, there is a point where it's just murder for the sake of murder.  That's something they would do.  We can leave it up to Cubans to handle it or, at worst, let them run away to Russia.  This earthquake is going to hit more than just the Cuban coastline.

Well that explains why they've immediately started negotiating with Trump.  It's possible the elites have their own generators but that will make them very obvious targets and at risk for betrayal on their own side.  And if they don't have their own generators, they'd just be looking for a way to protect themselves until they can escape.

Iran isn't falling as quickly as I hoped but a couple months ago, Trump said he hoped to get to Cuba by the end of the year and this is already happening.  He's also gathered as many allies as he can in Central and South America to take out the narco-gangs.  There's been no news from Venezuela for a while so we'll see what happens there.

Gotta admit, I'm just amazed at how Trump is finally getting around to handling some of these long-standing problems.  Cuba has been a problem since my parents were children and nobody's bothered to do anything about it before him.  From there leftists have been able to access the whole region and serve as an entry point for others crossing the Atlantic.  Just as a point of resistance it's a major leftist icon and the people in charge are suddenly helpless.  The left always forgets that the enemy gets a vote too.  They didn't even bother producing any power sources for this nation.

□ [“US Intelligence Suggests Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is Gay"]

I'm assuming this is made-up just to insult him.  Looking up Ayatollah Jr.'s history, he doesn't seem to have been one of those children of the elites who went to school in western countries so I'm guessing he didn't party with the infidel elites.  There are also rumors about problems having sex with his wife but I'd assume that's the same thing, it's about humiliating him in public.

The goal is to take the mullah regime out.  Not sure how well that's going but Trump is clearly playing on a deeper and wider level than most of his critics realize.  Muslim states are angry that Iran was bombing them, even Hamas spoke out against this.  Al Jazeera just released an editorial on how effective Trump's attacks have been at weakening the regime and separating them from others.  They can cut off the Strait but then they can't ship out their own oil to their own allies, i.e. China.

Not sure how seriously it should be taken but reportedly nations are refusing to send their own ships to the Strait and help us.  It's quite possible they're actually doing it but lying about it in public.  Even there, it's not a good sign for anybody, for our so-called allies refusing to do anything against a real threat and for Trump not getting nations to genuinely side with him.  He can criticize NATO for this but they're not obligated to join in.

She's only famous for protesting fossil fuels and sees nothing wrong with immediately supporting fossil fuels if it helps a tyrannical regime against the US.  That's basically what leftism is for you.  I have no clue what she does regularly, or how she earns a living for that matter, but I think the last time I paid any attention to her it was when she was taking gays over to Palestine to protest Israel.  They were almost there but someone finally realized this may not go the way they expect so they stopped.

The anti-oil movement is going downhill, slowly but persistently.  More than anything, I think people are tired of elites going around on big jets telling the rest of us what we're no longer allowed to do.  You don't think oil companies have spent years researching how to make profitable solar power to make them even richer?  It doesn't work, that's why humanity has never really gone for it.  If it worked, it would have been created ages ago.

□ [“CNN Host Presses Pete Buttigieg:  Why Did the Biden Administration Do Nothing to Stop Iran?"]

They're still asking real questions?  I think several things are going on here.  First of all, CNN and other networks are probably getting desperate.  Their corporate masters have spent tons of money on streaming and still haven't found a real audience so these failing networks need to show that they can actually do something relevant like challenge the Democrat mentality.  The FCC also probably keeps asking why only one party is asked challenging questions from a 'news network.'

They're also trying to help potential candidates get some exercise.  Kamala Harris wouldn't know what to do with a real question and before her was Joe Biden.  Meanwhile Trump is giving so many interviews and answering so many media questions that it's amazing he ever finds time to seize more power and cause more wars while counting his money.  A lot of Democrats feel really burnt by how badly the 2024 primaries went and, if they're honest, the 2020 primaries too.  You don't have to come out like Trump but you need to at least try to appeal to Americans if you want to get their votes.

They're also facing the contradictions of leftism.  They associate with the elites and the world media so they actually see more of what's going on in the Middle East than they can tell us.  Trump is being far more effective than they want to give him credit for and after all these decades, even some Democrats have to wonder why nobody tried this before.  Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, why is Trump helping non-white countries more than liberals ever did?

More than anything else, that's probably the best thing Trump has brought to politics, pointing out that the left is just propaganda and elitism.  When the left is in charge, they deny individual freedom to ignore them and more people see that now.  'I'll call you whatever pronoun I want and don't care if you're offended by it.'  The left and their pet media really have no way to work with that so they're struggling with this.

□ [“Iran Declares Strait of Hormuz Open to All Nations — Except U.S. and Allies"]

This just comes off as more like desperation than anything else.  They've been attacking other nations as an attempt to get them to ally with Iran, then they tried to shut down the strait.  Now they're going to check every ship to make sure it's not US or our allies?  How, exactly, will they track which nations are US allies here?  It just seems like the sort of thing that could go wrong in multiple ways.  Meanwhile the US (and allies) can protect our ships.

The rumors are continuing that the new ayatollah isn't doing so well.  He might be dead, he might be sent to Moscow for medical care, he might be here but delusional.  Did they appoint Joe Biden?  I don't quite get how the ayatollah ranks in the Iranian government.  On the one hand, he's in absolute charge but effectively he's not a governmental figure.  How does that work?  Maybe it's similar to the British government but Queen Elizabeth (or whoever) doesn't expect to be obeyed.

Iran officially says they're getting help from Russia and China.  In one sense I'm sure they are but in another, I'm skeptical.  China would make as much use of them as possible but otherwise I think they'd keep Iran in reserve, not trustworthy.  Russia wants to keep its neighborhood reasonably peaceful, they border Iran through the Caspian Sea and their former territories, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkmenistan, so this is probably hassle they don't really want.

Even pet media sees the problem.  DHS is supposed to prevent attacks like these but Democrats wanted DHS shut down and suddenly these attacks are surging.  Y'think there's any connection?  I can't figure out how this was planned but I'm certain this was part of the timing for the attacks on Venezuela and Iran, lined up with the last Democrat attempt to prevent government funding.  IIRC, DHS is the only one that was hit by this and here we are now.

So you can't spread fear without asking the obvious 'why isn't the government doing anything?'  Iran has been supporting terrorism for a long time so why haven't Democrats done anything about that except support Iran?  Until last week, has Iran ever really said they want peace with us?  The more you look into this, the worse the questions get for Iran and their Democrat allies.

But then there are the RINOs and the Uniparty rushing to support leftism, no matter what they've claimed to believe in the recent past.  I'm sure I've said many nice things about these two but they've just run away so quickly.  It's one thing if you can't handle the fight any more but to stay public and turn against your own side like this, I have to assume that was always the plan.

I really do think the left has developed a level of celebrity that build their careers claiming to be right-wing.  Their mission is to either turn on the people when it's needed most or to lead their followers in the wrong direction, or to just put on a show.  They were supposed to help leftism build but we're at a point where everything is breaking down.

It's one reason I've always thought 'center' and 'edge' was a more accurate term than 'right' and 'left' or 'conservative' and 'liberal.'  There's no way I'll win that argument so I'll stick with the standard terms but there's more movement on the edge and it's easier to fall off.  In the center, there is more stability, that's basically what it comes down to.  Things you can rely on and build from, that's not possible on the edge, no matter what the appeal is.  It's like the old saying, 'everybody is conservative about the things they know the most.'  That's what being in the 'center' is like and they're the ones we rely on for defense in this war.

Woah.  Hamas has always been Iran's front-line troops and even they're saying in public that Iran needs to stop.  This was broadcast on Al Jazeera and Palestinian media, it's got to be legit.  Maybe they're just tired of Israel killing them but this is a big deal.  We already knew other Muslim nations were siding with Trump against Iran but this shows how much he's uniting nations with each other and the US.

Trump has also announced that he's trying to get other nations to send warships to the Strait of Hormuz so shipping can be protected.  This seems a bit iffy, they could just bribe Iran not to attack them, but it still shows the level Trump is trying to work on.  I say "trying" just because we have no clue at our level what chance of success he has but I assume it's greater than zero.  It's possible they've already agreed on this and are just hammering out the final details.

I still think China cares less about who's in charge of Iran than about getting the oil so as long as they're covered on that, they'll support Trump on this.  I have no idea what Russia would want out the deal but there's probably a similar agreement, along with Turkey and Pakistan.  Europe has already shown they're worthless so they need to fix their problems first.

No way to know how this will wind up but wow!  At least for a brief moment, Trump has united the powerful nations of the world against Iran.  Lots of things can go wrong, they've also got a chance to unite against us now.  More problems need to be fixed but removing the mullahs from the equation will help a lot.  Israel has just moved into Lebanon again.  It was deliberately timed and they're going after Hezbollah.  More in the Middle East might be looking for some freedom.

Then there's our other neighbor.  I get the impression this is about some publicity reason.  We're already sending feds in to get the traffickers, there's no much Mexico can do about that.  And they're kind of stuck.  If this is a real Mexican government, they'd need to oppose the cartels just to maintain the monopoly of power.  Otherwise they side with the cartels and are also targets.

This just makes sense, the Monroe Doctrine needs to be reinforced after too many years of leftism.  The impression, and there's no way to verify or disprove it, is that the people are generally supporting this, both at home and abroad.  The left has no way to fight it without admitting that they side with the tyrants and those leftists who aren't in charge had no clue this was even possible.  Trump is slamming the 'new world order' in ways they never conceived of.

China probably has a 'turn off' switch, they wouldn't have let North Korea go nuclear without a way to control it, but this is spooky and I don't expect it to be fixed before Trump leaves office.  That said, beyond threats and nukes, there's not much they can really do.  Can't let their people learn anything about the outside world so sending soldiers elsewhere is a bad idea and without that, there's just the nukes that can only be used once.

This just seems off the rails.  They just take it as a given that they can't lose any future elections while simultaneously claim they're fighting a tyrant.  More than a few of them accuse him of stealing elections anyway so...  This doesn't add up yet they're doing it anyway.

Of course I'm worried that they'd actually steal elections.  Theoretically the Trump administration should be able to do something about that, they're already investigating California of all places.  I've wondered for a long time if leftists actually steal most/all of the elections in places they're in charge of but that just seems to unrealistic to believe in.  Yet here we are.

This just comes across as an obsession of being obsessed with a girl who ditched you, or who was never interested in you to begin with.  You going to punish the people who took down Maduro?  You going to punish Zelensky and Ukraine?  We already know you're going to punish Israel but at what cost?  Then there's all the effects Trump is having domestically.  Notice that people aren't outraged after the sudden increase in gas prices because there's an actual reason for it and we've just had a year of much cheaper gas to show what Trump can do.

Maybe this is just what Trump Derangement Syndrome does to millions of people.  For all the leftist schemes and delusions and cults, they're willing to throw it all away to get revenge on Trump, and anybody who supports him.  That's just not a smart way to go.  They don't realize that this is what Trump supporters voted for and overthrowing the leftist tyrants.  They just automatically assume victory is around the corner.  Are we going to have to put them in camps until they're cured or dead?

I get that the trans movement is desperate to reclaim whatever it control it used to have over society.  I'm starting to wonder how much of it was funded by Iran or other globalists but this is idiotic.  This is the sort of mentality that creates a trophy for participation, diminishing actual accomplishment.  I am not remotely a fan of athletics but even I realize that it requires actual measurable ability.  The best women have no chance of beating the best men but they still have to try as hard as possible to compete against their own gender.  Pushing the transgenders into this just diminishes females in sports and notice that these pretend genders are never good enough to beat the actual men's groups.

And Democrats are just relentlessly pushing this now.  I still cite the Bud Lite ad as where the movement proved it couldn't win yet these advocates are just trying harder and harder.  Scrolling through facebook I notice tons of pro-trans posts.  They're probably mostly posted by 'bots but this will just repulse anyone who isn't insane.  If we can't get way from you when you're not in charge, this does not encourage anyone to put you in charge.  This chick who self-identifies as female is just showing the petty bullying these people will do anytime they get the chance.

□ [“Cuban Dictator Díaz-Canel Begins Negotiations with the United States"]

They must be scared.  Cuba has been totally dependent on Venezuela for decades and now they're getting nothing.  Can't just suddenly get help from China, Russia or Iran, not sure what other allies they'd really have.  But Díaz-Canel even announced this on tv so the whole nation sees that they're giving in to Trump.

How is the left supposed to react to this?  Cuba has been their idol for generations but think they're able to deal with Trump, what does Cuba know that Democrats don't?  They're trying to do something about the War Powers Act to stop Trump from attacking Cuba, don't they see what's going on?  Well, no, Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing.

Not just Venezuela, it's been pointed out that Cuba's funding ended when USAID did.  That's something Trump has been able to push throughout the world although it may be a long time before we really see the effects.  US money was being funneled everywhere to support our enemies in countless ways.  By nature Cuba was a long-time stronghold for leftists and it looks like it's ready to fall.  I suspect the dictators are just trying to negotiate their survival.  Since Cuba has no gas anymore, they may be in a rush.

Apparently the bombing has been getting even bigger and today was the biggest bombing ever.  Something like that.  I do support this but we can't just have day-after-day of bombing, that's not going to work.  We've taken out the main leaders but the lower ranks will stay hidden.  If all we're doing is bombing, they can try to wait it out.  I get that there are other things going on but there needs to be progress.

Trump also says the new Ayatollah is "I think he's damaged, but I think he's probably alive in some form."  To me that comes off similar to George W. Bush having little interest in where bin Laden is these days.  I get the point, there's a much bigger battle to face and in the Muslim world, the defeat from the infidel is even more humiliating.  But bin Laden was and the Ayatollah is still the primary target so it doesn't look good to just shrug them off like that.

Apparently Iranians are helping guide our drone attacks.  That's good but they need to be more involved.  We can't just maintain air attacks and we don't want boots on the ground so the Iranians need to finish the job.  They deserve it and we're still there to support them, get rid of these tyrants.

We're also seeing gas prices shoot up.  That suck, especially after the last year of low prices.  Trump is trying to do something about that too, releasing 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.  Not sure that's a good idea, neither is discussions about removing some sanctions, at least temporarily.  Russian ships that are already at sea have those taken down.  Meanwhile France and Italy have made a deal with Iran to get their ships through.

And just a note, France has another problem.  One of their soldiers in Iraq died from an Iranian drone strike.  When did France get soldiers?  Why am I always the last one to hear about these things?  And wtf are they doing in Iraq?  We are not remotely being told the whole story about this war.

□ [“Hungary To Declassify National Security Report Proving Globalist Opposition to Viktor Orbán Is Illegally Funded by Ukraine"]

I'm less interested in what they're doing against Hungary itself than about what else they've used this funding for.  That's one of the mazes that needs to be taken down, how the money is passed through NGOs to foreign accounts, cybercurrency, all the ways the elites control.  And then what are they doing with that money?

Americans see this with DOGE, with the cuts to USAID and the exposure of Somali daycare centers in Minnesota.  That's clearly just a small piece of what's going on.  Whatever globalists are named in Hungary's report will probably be found listed elsewhere, imposing their will on the rest of us.  I'm guessing that most of these people, at least the ones who matter, are in the EU and this was the real reason for this war.  They've been trying to infest Russia too so Russia responded the normal way, invasion.

Doesn't sound like there's any peace talks going on so Zelensky doesn't have anything to do.  He's not worried about being re-elected and has consistently lost the war since... well since it started.  But he has nothing to add to any part of this situation.  Trump's even denying Ukrainians being sent in to help against Iranian drones.  That seems odd, the Ukrainians would have experience with Iran's ally, I'd assume they can bring something to the table.  I suspect that it's more about keeping them from getting useful information from us, or Iran for that matter.  They are not to be trusted.

It's going to get hectic.  Security companies are going to need a lot of employees but the guy going into the Texas school claimed to be security.  Turns out he's unemployed but that's not a mistake security can afford to get wrong very often.  This is where it's dangerous because you could guard a million possible targets and there's still ten million others.

We don't really know how the Muslim world is responding to this and couldn't really trust any response they'd have.  It comes down to the individuals.  I probably have a higher opinion of Islam than most people but it's also clear that sanity is optional for the most determined ones.  How much of the Muslim world are willing to stop these attacks before they happen?  We really don't know if there are any of them and that's going to be a huge problem to face.

25 years after 9/11, I still wonder if the people in charge really did make a long-term plan for this conflict.  Don't know which side they were on but at least on our side, it's basically been impossible to perceive the opponents as a unified force, making them difficult to fight.  With Iran funding Muslim terrorists around the world, now that we've finally taken the mullahs out, we have an opportunity to actually work out who's on which side.  Both sides have a lot of military-aged men who only know a post-9/11 world.

Well he has to say things like that.  This is a place where honesty wouldn't actually help, 'we know where an estimated 50% are located'?  Even this would bring an obvious question, 'then why aren't you doing anything about them?'  But this would have an understandable response, for legal reasons we can't do anything until they're ready to strike.  And that's what they're doing.

Iran has been funding terrorism for decades, now they're telling these people to do something now.  Sounds like a good time to invest in security companies.  I haven't even been tracking all these news reports but these are the people who will eagerly die for the cause and this is the best option they can think of off-hand.  Pretty sure they're all Muslim.  Enough of them have been identified that if there are Muslims who don't want to be associated with these people, start doing something about it.  Start turning them in before they try to kill people.

□ [“Iran Hits Major International Airports, Oil Refineries, and Commercial Ships"]

Bahrain, Iraq, Dubai, didn't they just apologize for hitting other countries a few days ago?  It sounds like they're trying to raise oil prices to hit us as hard as they can.  One of their better weapons but it's going to get negative responses on them.  Other countries will fight back against the expense and places like China will expect a massive reduction in price.

They're trying other things too.  There was just a report that four military drones have been stolen at Fort Campbell, Kentucky.  Not sure how you could possibly do that but even weirder, it happened last November.  And it's only being announced now?  Meanwhile Shi'ites in Nigeria are protesting against the US and Israel.  Not sure what this will do but it's worth noting that a nation seems to be standing up to support Iran.

I still haven't found any arguments that these creatures aren't basically being funded by Iran and similar Islamic powers.  If they can push the infidel far enough, all the sane people will rush towards the truth of Islam for protection.  It's quite possible that rich leftists are the ones paying for these creatures but even there, I suspect that they're still being used as pawns.

They're trying to push these people out to kill as many as possible and as we see here, it's about death worship.  It might be interesting to look into what ancient societies really believed in made-up genders but the history of civilization has been about getting away from that.  These kids here were obsessed with a mass murderer who had also been obsessed with mass murderers.  It just keeps growing on itself.

So I think this is both the ultimate goal of leftism and also a weapons used by tyrants to make their own side more appealing.  In a strange way, the evil side is more understandable and normal.  It's the left who will always twist everything to encourage the evil side because 'diversity!'  Death-worship is always looming over their heads, something to be inspired to which will automatically encourage everyone else to join in.

□ [“Mojtaba Khamenei Still Nowhere To Be Seen; Reports Suggest He ‘Lost a Leg,’ Is ‘In a Coma’"]

If it wasn't enough that we're suddenly in a war, we're also being hit with A.I. and leftist media making up everything they can think of.  I am taking seriously the news articles I comment on but keep in mind there's a decent chance they're completely false.  We're getting all this from the internet which isn't always the best source of truth.

I've heard that Iran's constitution appoints the Ayatollah as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces.  If he can't speak out, they have no leadership.  In some ways that's a good thing but in other ways, Iran might have planned for that and the IRGC is prepared to operate on their own.  No one can command them to stop.  It's not that different from the threats of abandoned Japanese soldiers in the Pacific that went on for decades after Japan's surrender.  They may be prepared to lose but take as many people as possible with them.

Iran is trying to spread this conflict globally.  I'm guessing the US military has prepared for that as much as possible although there's no way to know how in-depth their plans can be.  The Department of Homeland Security has conveniently just been defunded, I hope the military has plans to take over that without a hitch.  In some ways, Trump has already won but in others, the conflict has just begun.  If (God willing) the Iranians finally overthrow the mullahs, the worldwide terrorists and their leftist allies will have nothing to retrain them any longer.

NYC Firefighters Angry After Bosses, Muslim Firefighters Modify 9/11 Memorial Area for Ramadan
March 12, 2026

Just a note, I'm still trying to think about Marvel and DC Comics' plans over the decades, trying to figure out what they thought they were doing.  The concept of "multiverse" has been around for a long time but I've wondered if Marvel and DC have been using that to oversee their respective IPs.  In a legal sense, each one was effectively in its own universe.

It's one thing if a company manufactures a tire and another company manufactures a windshield wiper and they send their product to Ford to build a car.  It's different in an artistic medium where writers and artists create stories on a monthly basis for characters that go on to make a lot of money in many other mediums.  I can't think of any real precedent.  You might do books or movies putting characters together, the Three Stooges meeting Frankenstein or something, but those are much less important to the audience or the corporations than the original IPs which remain separate.

The DC characters had specific meetings.  They didn't fight each other's villains or interact with their supporting cast otherwise.  Marvel was specifically created to be a franchise.  Spider-Man met the Fantastic Four in Spider-Man #1, cover-dated March 1963, the same month as Fantastic Four #12 where they met the Hulk.  This was maybe a year-and-a-half after the Fantastic Four had first appeared and they were already meeting.

That much is believable for building a franchise.  What I've been trying to figure out is why DC had been rebooting their old characters in the first place.  Flash, Green Lantern and Hawkman are the main examples but if you want to update them, why not just keep the original names and redo the characters for a modern audience?  It finally occurred to me that this might an issue for copyright and trademark.

I don't remotely understand how that works but Superman and Clark Kent both fall under the same rules.  By 1966, those rules were changing, so DC lawyers must have been working on what to do for many years.  If nothing else, that's what they were paid for.  Most businesses didn't have to think about these things but comics companies needed to keep their trademarks active in other ways.  That's when I noticed a few relevant events happening across a few years.

In 1953, Fawcett Comics went out of business.  DC had been endlessly suing them, claiming Captain Marvel was a rip-off of Superman.  It wasn't but they kept paying lawyers until they had the same effect.  These lawyers would have put a lot of thought into what does or doesn't constitute a rip-off.  One lawsuit against Fawcett was that an issue of Captain Marvel had copied the story from an issue of Superman.  The court ruled that this story theft had happened but DC had waited too long to sue so it was invalid.

In 1954, the Comics Code was formed.  The people who ran the various comic companies all got together to impose decency on everyone.  I'll ignore that decision and just point out that these companies now had a reason to talk about the business and how to run things, there's no reason to think they wouldn't have discussed trademark and copyright in the process.  They all had lawyers who thought about this stuff, both as protection from parents groups suing them and trying to negotiate with movies, tv, toys, coloring books, international publications.

In 1955, Mad the comic book quit and became a Magazine.  As with the Comics Code, I'm not looking at the decision itself, but this would be considered in all the legal discussions.  This is a visual medium so the look is very important.  For recurring characters, there must have been discussion about when a parody becomes theft.  Or how far you can go without being a theft.  There's also the need to keep IPs active by using them every so often.

In 1956, DC rebooted the Flash as a new character with the same name and powers but a different secret identity.  It might be based on legal technicalities which few people are remotely interested in but this might be the reason the secret identities were changed.  It was a way to reuse the superhero's name as an IP in a different fashion.

This does line up with the superhero fantasy, having amazing powers but needing to keep them secret for some reason.  This has always been part of the genre and is extremely nerdy, as well as unrealistic.  You have these unbelievable powers and want to help people with them, the costume and the code name are believable to a point but then you go and live two separate lives and nobody ever figures it out?  But this self-absorbed fantasy became a selling point for the IPs.  And now they could be expanded with different copyrights using the same name.  In interconnected stories that took place over years.

Marvel and DC used different policies but the new Flash met the old Flash in "Flash of Two Worlds," cover-dated September 1961.  The Fantastic Four's firs appearance was cover-dated November 1961.  Flash #123 followed by Fantastic 4?  Seriously?  The FF did not have secret identities and didn't even have costumes for the first few issues, they were instead generally a rip-off of Jack Kirby's previous DC comic, Challengers of the Unknown.

This would be testing out the legal efforts put into superhero IPs in a company DC had a lot of control over.  Not only with the threat of lawsuit but they were Marvel's distributor to the newsstands.  They'd know almost as much about what the company was doing as the Marvel publisher, editor and creators.  My main theory was that it was just an experiment and if anybody got hurt, it was just Marvel, no big deal.  There may have been other reasons but I think they'd been developing this for a long time, on a 20-year-or-so basis.

In the early 40s, the two separate companies that would eventually become DC put their IPs together as the Justice Society.  In the early 60s, the rebooted DC characters had formed a rebooted Justice Society, which the DC publisher told Marvel's publisher about during a golf game.  Marvel's publisher went back to the office and told Stan Lee to do a rip-off of Justice League and that's when the Fantastic Four were born.

In the late-70s, early-80s, Marvel and DC had started teaming up their characters, and I still want to know why an adaptation of The Wizard of Oz was the first thing they teamed up on.  Their goal was to do a Justice League/Avengers crossover but that failed to happen.  In the late 90s, they started team-ups again and successfully built up to that crossover in the early 2000s.  And now they're preparing to do another one, after decades of development on these IPs.

They're doing movies and tv shows which have little in common with the comics characters, or even other movies and tv shows.  Many of the main characters get rebooted and I don't pay enough attention to know how long that lasts.  It clearly degrades the IPs they've had for so many decades but perhaps they're preparing to lose copyright, or to be challenged by A.I.

There are some obvious contradictions - why does the MCU say it's "Earth 616" when that's what the comics have been for so long? - but an argument could be made that this all falls under the legal definitions of 'multiverse' that they've been using all this time.  And that may be why they relentlessly push the secret identity-aspect of the genre, even as they keep switching characters.  They've been thinking about this for a long time, or at least their corporate lawyers have.
