□ [“Microsoft Cloud Services Go Down Globally – FAA Radar Telcom Goes Down After SMART AI Rollout"]

Required government officials have spoken out on both events, they say it was technical issues that caused this.  They haven't ruled out the possibility of enemy action but don't think it's likely in either case.  Well that convinced me.

Even if it's true, I think everybody's had a realization that we really don't want A.I. everywhere.  Or the internet.  Refrigerators and automobiles existed for a hundred years without going on-line, there's no reason for that to change.  Technology has made it very easy to forget what it's like to do without it, which causes even more problems when there's a power-shortage.  For most of human history, it was never an issue.

I'm sure some people are also noticing that this is similar to events going back to 1984 (the book) where the government can keep watch on everybody at home.  Back then it was literal cameras but in the reality, someone could be keeping watch on every move you make from the toilet, the sink, the air conditioner, the lights.  Even worse, it's the A.I. doing all the observing.  Then there's the issue of people getting cyberimplants.  It's not just people using that spy through you, it's that they could turn it off with the push of a button and you're helpless, assuming you're still alive.

I think a majority of people are fundamentally repulsed at how far this is going.  This is why the military has always made sure to maintain its older assets so they're still useful when the newfangled technology fails.  There are always tools that are better to have and not need than to need and not have.  This also means they'll need to keep men who are capable of using them.  You're not going to get that from people who've lived through their cellphones all their life.

They're back like they never left, what a surprise.  They're going to be pushing this a lot harder than they did last time because they're so oppressed or somethin'.  And every leftist is going to keep demanding more.  They'll treat Trump's two terms like a minor glitch and the scary part is they may get away with it.

We see this as election-winning Democrats are already trying to repeal what their own voters went for, limiting the trans movement, keeping boys out of girls sports, that sort of thing.  This may be why Muslims are increasingly prominent in the Democratic party, they're able to put out the message that 'either you do things our way or you do them their way.'  That's going to have a lot of appeal, especially since they're the ones having babies every year.

And they're not wasting a minute.  It's still unclear how exactly the elections were stolen but Muslims are definitely the ones who made it possible.  I would assume Iran helped as much as it could but they wouldn't be as relevant as you'd think.  This is what Islam does and they were clearly expecting a big victory from these elections.

□ [“The James Gunn DC Cope from the Media is Just Sad"]

It's been a few days of entertainment but I suspect it won't last much longer.  Gunn made a public statement, attacking the audience, but I suspect he's rich enough that his people will get him to stop before he totally destroys his reputation.  Maybe in a week or a month or a year he'll make some ridiculous move to prove why he needed to be gotten rid of but for the time being, I suspect he'll stay quiet.

Word is slowly coming out on what he was doing with DC's money, spending it on things like expensive food that wasn't needed.  He was certainly getting a lot of money as writer, director and adding his name as producer to everything DC put out and that didn't help anybody else.  His statement made ridiculous lies, like saying nobody at the new company had seen his next Superman movie yet.  The company owns the studio, they paid for the movie, they had meetings with Gunn to get updates on his current projects and he'd been gone for several days at that point, there's every reason for them to immediately check out the existing footage unless he's got it locked away somewhere hidden.  Right there is every reason needed to fire him.

His sycophants have also been making noise but unless they all post on social media I don't follow and are generally ignored, I haven't heard much.  I assume they realize they're on a sinking boat and, as leftists, they were never as deeply connected as they want people to believe.  Any comments they make will be returned ten-fold by people who know as much or more about this, so why bother?  Gunn will find how many were actually tied to him for any reason beside a paycheck and now his own money will be required to keep them in line.

I still don't get how it worked but I think this was a definite plan to install him into a position of influence.  He started in Troma, then worked his way up to Marvel, got fired, got to come back, then moved over to DC.  His style isn't something that helps everybody, his popularity requires diminishing everyone else's, including the Intellectual Property he's being paid to promote.  His rise had required taking down a couple other big name movie directors at Marvel and DC, whether it's a competition or a deliberate sacrifice.  Wouldn't surprise me if they'd have done the same to him if the positions were reversed.  The difference is their DC movies did a lot better at the box office.

Well they're setting up the fight.  Now we get to see who's going to go through with it.  I'll assume the Trump administration is ready to defend itself although we don't know how effective that will be.  Congress is in the situation of 'mob rule,' rushing out to whatever insane idea they're convinced with.  We don't know if they have any brakes to slow down before it's too late.  For that matter, they may have other weapons handy.

As far as I know, the Supreme Court will be the one who has to decide between these two branches.  There might be steps taken first but that's who you would need for this.  I could easily see an argument either way, they might cave to the leftists or they might unanimously point to basic rules about targeting people.  Democrats want to erase the SCOTUS anyway but they'll have no leverage to use except outright violence against anyone they don't like, same motivation as their subpoenas.

My biggest worry is that no matter what happens, it'll just make things worse.  The left needs to have a serious defeat and this is about all they can do without it happening on the battlefield.  I really thought, at least for a time, that 2024 did that to the party but obviously they've gone back to it without any hesitation.  If Trump 2.0 isn't ready to handle this, I don't know what we're going to do.  As he always pointed out, they'll be coming after us too.  We need a major win before that becomes an issue.

This is unusual.  It's understandable that they'd target anyone in Trump's cabinet or other high-ranking officials, just to prove they can, but beyond that I don't see why'd go after the Treasury Secretary.  I don't get what he's doing that would require a response on him specifically.  Bessent is working to prevent immigrants who receive government money from sending it out of the country, that's something.

This also happened because the Wall Street Journal posted his home address so he'd be easy to target, that's a big deal.  They are actively helping the enemy.  There are other ways to do this, they could target Nancy Pelosi and then blame Trump when she dies from a bombing.  Then there's all the possible ways to use drones, against Pelosi, Bessent or anyone else.  I'm not even sure how you'd stop this, beyond surrounding properties with drones to take out any other drone that comes close.  Not a foolproof solution but it's the best one coming to mind.

Then there's all of this happening in a short period of time.  For convenience I'll blame Iran but it's obvious that China, Russia and others would be involved, along with domestic opponents.  Most of these center around transportation or computers, more relevant targets than the Treasury Department.  It's not just the damage and chaos, it's also another excuse to blame Trump for not preventing this so incoming Democrats can demand more power to stop the enemy they support.  It's still not clear why these attacks would all be happening immediately after the election instead of waiting a few more months, but here they are.

That's probably why I blame Iran because they'd be the most desperate to handle this immediately.  It's also a serious question how many people they have on the inside able to sabotage US assets like this.  I'm thinking of a couple weeks ago when European governments started telling people to get back-up supplies, that might be a serious issue very quickly.  If they can hit this much all at once, it can go global any minute.  That's not even counting the election theft here or elsewhere in the world.

□ [“Trump warns Democrats:  You can investigate us, we can prosecute you"]

This is the most effective defense I've seen in the last week and a half.  The left is incapable of self-restraint and are looking to punish anyone they don't like.  They've already got the 'guilty' verdicts ready, no trial needed.  But they don't realize that they're caught in a trap set by their own authority.

Congress can't just decide to investigate someone or require them to testify.  There needs to be a specific reason based on the laws which Congress itself has passed.  The obedient left doesn't care, they just want to persecute everyone who doesn't agree with them.  But they have no authority to do this and their own lawyers will point that out before they even get around to sending subpoenas.

Which leads to the second part of the trap.  Of the subpoenas that do get out, that specifically relate to actual laws and legitimate Congressional authority, the Trump administration already has the evidence.  They'll be able to point to documents and official approval of whatever the leftists are aiming at.  They'll also be able to point to Democrats doing the exact same thing and getting away with it.  If Congress really wants prosecutions, they can get started right away.

Just take an easy example, Trump supposedly had top secret documents at Mar-a-Lago.  Wanna punish him for that?  Joe Biden did the same thing and they weren't even as secure in his garage.  Hillary Clinton did the same thing and they were on her unprotected server.  Right there Trump can point to two examples of precedent which Congress refused to apply the laws to everybody.  If you want to arrest Trump for this, you have to arrest Hillary and Biden.

But wait, the statute of limitations is past, they're allowed to get away with their crimes.  Then you'll need to call in the people who allowed them to get away with doing exactly what you want to punish Trump for.  That means Obama and his administration need to answer some questions, this includes Biden and Hillary.  You're back to either ignoring the laws when it's convenient or applying them to your own people or just saying anybody can get away with it, including Trump.

I hope, really hope, pray, beg, that the Trump administration is prepared for this.  That this was what they've been waiting for and it's why the elections were allowed to be stolen like they were, precisely to catch the enemy in this trap.  The left who just rushes to emotion-based punishment because they can will have to turn against their own protectors and the elitist monsters who've imposed this on us know that they're next.  Because I don't see any way this could go that isn't a total disaster for civilization going over the cliff.

More struggles for power.  Schumer turns 76 in a couple weeks, he's another target to get rid of the old people in charge.  That said, he clearly has knowledge and experience his aspiring replacement wouldn't have and even more that the incoming socialists have no clue about.  I'd go 50-50 on who will win.  Maybe Schumer can impose his will without a problem, maybe they'll ignore him and he'll see how irrelevant he is, except in following his subordinates around.

There's also a good chance this is more like Bernie Sanders running in 2016 and 2020.  It's not so much that the opponent wants to be in charge himself, he wants to make sure everyone else is aligned with his goals.  That's what Hillary and Biden did, nothing resembling leadership.  They just wanted to sit on the throne, Bernie and his people could make all the decisions.

There are still protestors at Congress, looks like old white people with nothing else in their lives.  They'll give up as soon as the temperature drops but they need to act like they're the ones making the demands.  But the media might find a use for them and they can still pretend people are invested in this.  A "revolution" needs to be ongoing, we'll see if they're ready for that this time.

I'm ambivalent about this.  Ok, go after the corruption, although you could have been doing that for almost two years now.  But what about Iran?  I'm not sure why Vance was involved but also not sure why he needs to be taken out.  Why now?

The big problem is that it looks like they're breaking up.  We really really really don't need that, especially not publicly.  We don't need to know what Vance is doing and what are we supposedly negotiating with Iran anyway?  But this comes out, implying that Trump doesn't think Vance is doing the job and Vance probably disagrees on this.  That interpretation may be completely off-base but that's the point, we don't know and there's no reason to hear about this.

I'd like to think this was part of the plan to go after the corruption but they've had years to do this.  You don't need to a lose an election to get started.  It's safe to assume Marco Rubio will be the next main target.  We're going to find out how many people Trump really inspired to carry on and how many were just Trump fans or otherwise connected to him.  We saw that with the 'tea party' movement twenty years ago.  They didn't have Trump or anyone who could keep people connected over time.

And it's also possible this is fake news, presenting a non-existent split between the two leaders.  That would certainly help Iran and the corrupt blue states.  The overall sense of confusion also helps them.  You can make an argument that this is what Trump, Vance and Rubio have been fighting all along but they still haven't reached coherent reality.  That's why our enemies are winning so much.

Hakeem Jeffries is already pushing a way to bring back people who were deported under Trump.  I'm sure they won't remotely try to get everybody, they're easy enough to replace.  But this will be about getting specific people back, trafficking gangs and those who could launder taxpayer money, people like that.  The left lost a lot of their foreign assets with ICE enforcing the law and they want it back.

□ [“Biden Claims His Disastrous 2024 Debate Was 'Not Very Consequential'”]

Maybe the family needs money, I can't think of any other reason Joe Biden would be made public again but he's made a few appearances in the last week or so.  I think he has a new memoir out, need to keep that money flowing from publishers.  I don't even want to watch the videos linked to, he just looks awful, like a thin version of Mitch McConnell.

The fact that he wouldn't see any big problem with that debate shows how far away from reality he is.  Biden is stupid and leftist but in his prime he was at least a competent politician.  He should at least know he's very old.  I'd say he should also be aware of his serious limitations but his people kept telling us what great shape he was in so there's no reason to think they told him the truth either.

As a politician, he should be able to realize when his performance was a loss.  If he needed so many drugs just to get on stage at that point, it's another huge problem that should be obvious even to him.  He's seen politicians fail, he's had his own failures, yet somehow he can't even see that happened here.  Just a few years before, he had said he wasn't going for two terms, the party had its own expectations.

He has been saying nice things about Trump which at least sounds more like the traditional politician.  He cites a nice letter Trump left him in January 2021, like Biden's actually trying to appeal to people.  I doubt it matters to anyone.  The left will ignore it but they won't be buying Biden's book anyway.  He's out and completely useless until he dies and they can pull some publicity stunt at his funeral.

I'm still trying to work out the theory that 15% of voters can just be pushed to voting for whatever they're told.  If that's true, it was probably the debate that guaranteed Trump's victory.  Harris had shown how worthless she was so she couldn't be used as a replacement.  I'm still convinced this was a deliberate plan because the debate happened so much earlier than normal.  It's like the party needed an excuse to dump Biden but hadn't figured out what to do next.  Perhaps they were still fighting over who would replace him and Harris was the only one they couldn't get rid of.

All flying to Turkey so they can get all the required orders from Muslims and China.  There's a lot more private jets than usual for these things because they're so starved for leadership.  It was only a few months ago that they were admitting the 'global warming' myth was over because it's clear they weren't getting US taxpayer-funding anymore.  Amazing how quickly that changed for the world's richest elites.

I'm guessing China is the one giving the orders although there will be a lot of talk on how to help Iran.  Those fossil fuels don't burn themselves.  As always, no one will dare ask why they can't just handle this discussion on the internet, or even telephones.  They don't want the peasants to hear the discussion.  Wonder what would happen if this meeting was suddenly hit by a nuke, would anything really be lost?

It's been said for a month or so that we're now in *woke 2.0.*  I haven't really thought about that because for me it hasn't changed but there's clearly a difference for those who impose it on the rest of us.  I'm not really sure what they'll be doing, they need to take back a lot of lost ground.  They also need to impose tyranny and ensure that they never lose it again.  That might be tricky but these are the people who could do it.  They don't even have to follow their own rules.

One distinction I think they understand is about the use of money.  The typical leftist rhetoric is how their enemy 'only worships money,' only wants more, will do anything to get it, etc.  I think that's projecting their own collectivism, they can't see any other alternative therefore they can't conceive of anybody else seen alternatives.  One thing that even rich leftist understand is the distinction between 'my money' and 'your money.'  They're capable of seeing it as a tool to accomplish a task and they're very unwilling to risk their own wealthy.  That's not 'money-worship' and their subordinates will never understand that.

It would be nice to see this actually happen to the most prominent advocates.  Send some men-with-guns to grab Maddow and put her in a camp.  She insisted it would happen, let's see how she reacts when it actually does.  She's certainly not going to be brave, she'll react like someone who never remotely considered the possibility, despite being highly paid all these years to say exactly that.  It might also be amusing to see how long it takes anyone to notice that she's missing.

That's one of the ways free societies destroy themselves.  They're supposed to make life peaceful and safe so those who rant about tyranny never have to face it.  Maddow doesn't allow anyone around her to disagree, that's how she got rich and famous with the left.  They're the ones putting us in camps and will suppress any complaints.

Well they're admitting it.  Well that's a bit iffy, they always say this.  But this time it sounds like they're willing to take it a bit more seriously.  IIRC Maine is slightly more sensible on the use of weapons and they're at or near the woods so if I were them, why not do some target practice?  Show the enemy what they're up against.  Of course there's the basic idiocy of assuming ICE will start the firefight.  If they don't then you're just sitting around, wasting time.

Just a guess but I'm assuming the gun-owners are actually more sane and restrained than most leftists.  The others are just advocating violence.  The Charlie Kirk murder was where they became open about it.  In Texas, a lunatic dressed as a wizard assaulted TPUSA students.  In Miami a college student was arrested for offering money to kill political opponents.  This is closer to the stereotypical leftist than the ones in Maine.  No self-control with their own actions and willing to just tell others to do the real work.

But these armed protestors don't even notice the basic contradiction, it's their own side who wants them disarmed.  Their words right here would be enough to disarm them if ICE or the Trump administration was remotely interested in that.  Maybe they self-identify as being the ones in charge so of course they'll be allowed to have weapons in the 'new world order,' it's everyone else who must be disarmed.

I don't want to be remotely optimistic but it is true the left will have internal conflicts about this and as we can see, it's already becoming public.  They're going to threaten anyone they disagree with, some of them will be armed and they believe they're at war so any rules can be ignored.  For the elites-in-charge, it may just be about increasing the chaos on the ground but for the majority of people, that's no way to live, even if they voted for this.

And just a note, they're clearly going to set-up another stunt along the lines of 'January 6' where Republicans refuse to accept these stolen elections.  Banning guns may be the main goal because this time they know we'll be armed.  Even if we have all gone on strike and are nowhere to be found, they'll just have their people pretend to be right-wingers on a violent rampage.

It's the most convenient way to gain more power and control.  They're targeting *everybody* but obviously there are far too many businesses to handle so they'll pick and choose who they actually want to go after.  People they don't like, or who don't pay enough bribes, or just sending a message to everyone else, 'this could be you!'  Meanwhile it'll give them time to put their cronies in place.

It's a which easily turns against its own people.  A newly-elected Ohio Democrat is already complaining about the pressure they're putting on him to support Hakeem Jeffries as House Speaker.  It's only been a few days and he's already gone public?  This shows the internal struggles among the party members, making them quite vulnerable to those who actually have discipline.  Post-Civil War South, post-revolution Russia, post-WWI Germany, there are precedents for this.  But the left insists they had nothing to do with any of that.

To the extent I still believe Trump 2.0 actually has a long-range plan for this - it's about as likely as Sydney Sweeney calling to ask me out for dinner - this does look like what would be expected.  I'm sure they'll clamp down and make everybody as obedient as they've been for the last two years but that could be quite a challenge.  They'll need to show that they will get rid of people without hesitation and that includes their own die.  'If you're not with us, you're against us.'

This was an immediate move on him, similar to how Disney got rid of Kathleen Kennedy.  Gunn was a bit worried, that's why he suddenly started talking about how he'd add Batman and Wonder Woman to the franchise, but that was as far as he'd go.  He clearly believed his position was safe and the sycophants wouldn't disagree with him.  No would dare point out that all the releases from his franchise made less money than the 2016 Batman v. Superman movie which wasn't even the biggest hit of the previous reboot.

I've only seen a little bit but we're expecting his sycophants to rant and rail online.  At least that could be entertaining in these dark days but even that will probably be tiresome very quickly.  The whole point is these people can't produce anything worth watching, even to embarrass themselves.  I suspect that's just in their nature as leftists, pushing the "agenda" is all that matters to them and they don't care about the cost.

I'm guessing there was a deeper plan with this batch of movies and the next Superman flick was supposed to continue on that, this is why Gunn doesn't even get to finish it.  It might have been the specific reason he was fired on the spot, so he couldn't push this another moment.  There were plenty of other reasons to get rid of him but his contract expires next year anyway so they could have just waited.  That might have been better, less fan backlash, less attention to the franchise right now when it really needs to go away for a while, yet they had to cut him off here.

I assume this isn't a big deal for Springsteen who is too old and rich to care what anybody else thinks.  The club was founded on August 7, 2015 and I was wondering what was going on in Bruce's life at that point to make a fan club relevant to anybody.  Well, on August 6, he was on the final Daily Show with Jon Stewart so there might have been political relevance.  But now even his fans are tired of that.

This isn't about Springsteen, he could vanish forever and his legacy is whatever it is.  But it does indicate a change in the overall political conflict, that people just aren't going to put up with this any longer.  That applies to both sides and will be most obvious in the fields that are supposed to appeal to as many people as possible.  But as we see, that's not what leftists do.  We also saw that with Lindsay Clancy and Lucy Craig, and isn't it amazing how long ago that seems?

I think this is the sort of thing that's too big to measure until after it's happened.  Each individual is deciding for themselves which side they're on.  The left is louder about it but they're also more willing to pretend to believe in this.  It's not the mass-strike I keep endorsing but it's closer and is most obvious in fields like this.  An internet Springsteen fan club itself is irrelevant, no way to know if they're all 'bots.  But real people are doing the same thing, slowly and quietly, disconnecting from the enemy.

□ [“House to Vote on Massie’s Impeachment Resolution Against Hegseth Tonight"]

This is bizarre.  They're not waiting to take power, they're going straight for the target.  I'm guessing they hope enough Republicans will cave to get this passed - and they may be right about that - but I'm not sure what precedent there is for something like this.  Although thinking about it, they may have gone after Donald Rumsfeld like this over and over.  Massie says he doesn't expect this to pass, he just wants to put everyone on record in the House and Senate.

So it's mostly a stunt for publicity, covering Iran, Venezuela and Hegseth's response when members of Congress told soldiers to disobey orders.  I think it's also an obvious rush to defend Iran.  They're probably sponsoring this along with China, Russia, etc.  Under normal circumstances this would be an obvious failure but we're not under normal circumstances.  Hegseth sounds very defensive - which is natural - and Trump is certainly defending him but how much of that is just a public show?  That's the worrisome part.  If Hegseth is taken out, he can't be replaced by any permanent War Secretary in the next two years.

The problem with Iran is that this gives the mullahs a lot of strength, they just need to keep holding out.  Democrats have completely ignored Venezuela all year because it set such a perfect example of getting things done, we had reason to expect that with Iran.  In hindsight we clearly intended to hold them like a snake killing a victim, inflicting minimum damage and not putting troops on the ground.  As a strategy that's fine, my main complaint is that Trump didn't announce that in advance.  Instead we kept getting negotiation after negotiation.  It's still effective but we can't see anything happening which is just not a good way to handle a war.

I don't think the gas prices were a major problem either, they didn't get as bad as they were under Biden.  They're also noticeably going down.  But Trump promised in early-June they'd drop in 90 days and then that didn't happen.  They very-slowly started dropping a bit later but that was where I was disappointed.  He'd already said by then it wouldn't happen until after the elections and even that's a disappointment.  This is where waking up one day and finding that they've gone down $1/gallon would prove he was right all along.  Better still, if it had happened before the election, Democrats couldn't use Iran as a shield for stealing the elections.  And now they get to go on the warpath.

□ [“'No Leaving Town Until It's Over!' House Freedom Caucus 60-Day America First Agenda"]

I suppose it sounds good - voter ID laws, border security, sanctuary cities, congressional term limits and keeping them from getting rich - but the odds seem very low to any of this getting passed in the next few weeks.  As far as I know, all Democrats need to do is not show up and that's that.  They're the minority and they can shut everything down.

So this is just a show, similar to Democrats trying to impeach War Secretary Hegseth.  I'd like to think there's some larger plan underway here but if the left can massively steal all the elections without being noticed, they can certainly handle a lazy Congress.  That's not even counting how the RINOs will vote although to be fair, supporting this would make them look good so they might.  Can you tell I'm not very optimistic about any of this?

The left has other options, funded by their rich members.  DOJ is being hit with so many lawsuits against ICE that they don't have the time or manpower to defend them so the presumably-leftist judges can rule however they want.  In a lot of ways this is worse than the 2020 election theft because that came off as a one-time stunt that could never be repeated.  You'd really think Trump 2.0 would have multiple defenses and plans-in-place to keep this from happening again, yet here we are.

□ [“Van Jones Admits the 'Affordability' Op Was an Organized Astroturf Campaign"]

Van Jones has actually made some sensible comments about how Democrats need to stop being so stupidly leftist because most people want nothing to do with that.  So I'll give him some leeway while considering this explanation of what happened.  He describes an army of posters on social media about how awful the economy was, admitting that it really wasn't that bad.  "The Republicans could not understand it wasn't bots.  It was actual human beings."

That's believable to an extent.  My main objection is that it doesn't account for the uniformity of increases in Democrat votes across the board.  I don't remember the exact numbers but they've been worked out and effectively every Democrat got 15% more votes than normal, so that was usually enough to win.  My other objection is that it just isn't clear how so many people would believe the economy was crashing.  I've had financial problems for the last five years and I could tell things were much better under Trump 2.0 even if there wasn't a lot I could specifically point to, no clear examples.

It's true that much of economics is just what we can see as individuals and we're sensible enough to not assume that's our economic status isn't the same as everyone else's.  I could even see a theory that 15% of humans are literally 'bots, going where they're told.  I've noticed social media posts for the last year or so have been intense propaganda, more than ever before, but I've also noticed how they often fail.  The James Gunn DC movies shows that this doesn't always work.  Maybe it's a specific design, taking Gunn down means pushing more people to vote Democrat, but that seems impossible, at least from our perspective.  I've also seen it compared to "role-playing."

As I've said before, I think China runs North Korea as a test lab for experiments like this.  The Russians certainly did such things for decades and the Germans before that.  The military also conducts tests along those lines.  So maybe it's possible, just very unbelievable.  It could explain a lot about the election, it's just trying to comprehend how you function with proven knowledge that 15% of people are nothing more than obedient servants by nature.  Might even explain the hatred for Trump that he knew how to make use of or circumvent the whole apparatus.

□ [“House Epstein Investigation Uncovers No Trump Crimes, Refers Two Powerful Men to DOJ"]

"Powerful men"?  A former mayor of Miami Beach and a 'celebrity hairstylist.'  The Oversight Committee press release says some things about how the government didn't do enough to protect victims but there's little on how this was anything beyond a basic crime.  What makes Epstein such a big deal that there's still attention to this seven years after he died.  Every piece of evidence we have shows something bigger was going on but no answers about what that was.

The most likely guess these days is that some form of cannibalism was going on with the victims.  Most of what I've heard is aimed at Ellen DeGeneres which shows how unclear any of these theories are.  She was more associated with P. Diddy, not Epstein, but her tv show's set background did clearly resemble the temple on Epstein Island.  She fled the country as soon as Trump was re-elected and it's suggested she has health issues related to cannibalism.  None of this is evidence and after all these years, there's not even a coherent explanation of what was going on.

This report does confirm that there's no evidence Trump had anything to do with Epstein's criminal activities.  That won't stop the left, they'll just make up whatever they want and protect their own people but that's more about attacking Trump.  Epstein is just a convenient excuse.  Another reason to complain about Trump, he said he'd put everything out on Day One and we're still waiting.  Maybe they'll find that celebrity hairstylist to explain everything.

2 Arrested Outside of White House After Car Crash and Barricade Breach
November 9, 2026

□ [“Trump Now Talking Amnesty and Comprehensive Immigration Reform"]

This isn't the most disappointing result of the last week but that's only because there's so many others to choose from.  This is admitting that he accepts the loss as-is and turning against what he campaigned on two years ago.  Or six years, or ten years.  It's even possible to make this a not-so-bad argument, that he got two years to get rid of the worst, seal the borders, impose that policy on everyone, so now he can make that point with actual reform.  But I'm still not going with it.

Partially it's because he'll be dealing with leftists and they want everything back the way it was with mass invasion.  That's all they'll accept, no exceptions.  The main problem is that Trump is always a negotiator first and the results come in second.  He really likes making a deal.  He has decades of experience and is really good at it but that doesn't matter when the deal itself is horrible and that's what this one is going to be.  The left's not going to accept any deal, they won't comply with whatever agreement is made and they're already going to reverse it as soon as they seize more power.  Ronald Reagan signed a similar deal 40 years and 3 days ago, look how that worked out.

There's also the domino effect, if Trump will cave on this, what else will he cave on?  Maybe he'll give 100% of Muslim immigrants a pass so they can come in and vote Democrat.  Gotta destroy Israel somehow.  And comply with the European Union.  And whoever's in charge of them.  If they can do this to Trump, they can do it to anyone else.

□ [“Senator-Elect Hamilton (D-KS) Just Threw a Big Wrench Into Democrat Revenge Plans"]
□ [“Dem Goal to Abolish ICE Faces One of Their Own as a Big Stumbling Block"]

Most likely they're just telling the peasants lies, trying to show the 'big tent' in charge now.  That said, to the extent the election can be considered 'fair,' or to the extent they want us to believe it was 'fair,' they need to acknowledge that there are actual voters with these views.  They don't want Democrats to go after revenge and persecute anyone they don't like and they do want the invasion to stop, which ICE is required for.  If these guys are serious, they'll be ignored, and most likely they aren't serious.  This is just what they say in public.

It's weird to have to think about this.  They need to acknowledge that people actually think this way - and are right to do so - and that they want their support, even when disagreeing with their own party.  These politicians need to protect their own authority, even against their own party, so they can get more.  They also need to push the narrative that it was the gas prices and Iran, that's why MAGA rushed to vote leftist.  They also need to say they believe in the 'rule of law' even as they oppose or ignore the law to support others who break the law just to be here.  How do you put all that together into a coherent political view?

So even though there's no reason to believe these guys, the problem is still there.  Even if 100% of the voters agreed with Democrats, the problem would still be there, you can't ignore reality and get away with it.  And to the extent we say these elections were totally fair, there's a lot of voters out there who see that too.  'Gas prices bad, illegal immigrants bad too.'  Add that to the demands of each individual Democrat pushing orders for collective obedience and they're just building more problems for themselves without doing anything about those that already exist.  The disasters waiting to happen probably have to get a ticket and stand in line for their turn.

Trump Suggests Mail-in Ballot and Voting Machine Fraud – “Does Anybody Really Believe That This ‘Election’ Was Honest?”
November 9, 2026

□ [“Asked About Midterms, Mitch McConnell Goes Mute, Looks Like a Vegetable"]
□ [“Will Schumer Survive?"]

McConnell is 84, Schumer turns 76 in a couple weeks.  They're both under attack and the midterm results are mostly irrelevant here, especially for McConnell.  He should not be there and that seems mostly unanimous by everybody, so why is he still there?  It's not his decision, we can tell he's not capable of making any.  His political sponsors would be the most likely guess but I'm always skeptical that anyone genuinely wants that anywhere.  Anyone else could earn the same donations and not be so embarrassing.

With Schumer, it's more of a problem because he's actually capable of fighting back and using his decades of experience.  He's also the main target of a purge, younger people who want the power he's holding.  That's normal for leftists and I keep intending to look into Mao's massive purge of the 60s and 70s as how this became official communist strategy.  In general I support the current need to get rid of the old people but I will point out that it's why politics has always been for old men, because they've had years of experience to see patterns that most people won't.  They're also not as capable of physical labor so it's a way to make them useful.

McConnell is out, his replacement is nominally a Republican who won the election.  Schumer has two years before he gets challenged so my guess is he'll comply with the young.  Maybe he has some hidden weapon to impose his will on them but that seems unlikely.  Leftists would use their weapons when they have them so he'd have already ended these problems if he has that.  He'll have to obey if he wants to stay in office.

Massie Files Resolution to Impeach Hegseth – Will Hold Press Conference

□ [“James Gunn is Out as DC Boss After Supergirl Superflop!"]

Not just Supergirl.  Clayface seems to have reached profitability but only because it was so cheap, not because anyone wanted to see it.  Superman barely made any money and no one's looking forward to the sequel.  The tv shows are doing even worse.  All this money wasted and no one cares.

The timing is strange.  When Warner Bros. was purchased by Paramount, all the contracts were frozen but Gunn announced he was extending his contract.  That was just a stupid thing to do, yet there he was.  He's recently been doing a lot of social media texts and interview, going into details on which part of which movie may or may not be relevant to his version of the franchise.  Nobody is going to do that much homework to know what he's talking about, even Gunn fans.  That's not counting the homework you'd need to do on the DC characters themselves.  I know them and I don't care, what is the wide audience expected to do?

Despite his claims, I don't think Gunn had any real plans, he made up whatever he was doing at any given moment.  His last couple weeks had details about how this was all leading up to Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, ignoring that the last few years showed absolutely nothing from two of those characters.  DC didn't need that and it's surprising they went with it for as long as they did.

Because I always make up conspiracy theories, I wonder if this is related to the elections.  Gunn was definitely promoted by the Hollywood cult who keep pushing a leftist revolution so this might be a sacrifice for the cause or it might have been part of the actual target.  It's too vague to even come up with possibilities but I can't deny the possibility.  My interest is primarily in what they'll do with this franchise after how it's been destroyed and what connections these people have to the *woke* agenda.

□ [“The Left Does Not Want Hakeem Jeffries to be Speaker of the House"]

I don't see any reason given.  I've always assumed he was Nancy Pelosi's puppet so that's my only guess.  Either that or his race but the left is really loud about wanting to ditch the 'old guard' and if Nancy's still unofficially in charge, that's enough.  Jeffries needs to look good to the left so he's already rushed out to declare Pete Hegseth guilty of whatever.  We already know they don't need the laws to determine a verdict, they'll do that in reverse order.

They're also going after Stephen Miller, admitting that they don't currently know of any crimes he's committed.  These two are the biggest immediate names but they'll add more, all centering around Trump.  But they'll also find a lot of others, the accusation is all that's needed.  There must be limits to this but none can be seen at the moment.

□ [“Incoming Dem Sen Urges Party Not to Spend Two Years Investigating Trump — Focus on Cost of Living Instead"]

No reason to think he even believes this, he's certainly not going to have any influence with that attitude.  The left will just say they can do both.  Of course there will be internal conflict but there's just nothing to be optimistic about.  About the closest to hope I can see is that they're so desperate to eliminate their opponents that they'll turn on each other any moment.  But even there, you can't make a plan that relies on what your enemies do amongst themselves.  This is not where we were expecting to be a week ago.

□ [“'Hope Now That Democrats Have Won' Migrant Caravan Busts Through Mexican Border to US"]

Now this is something to be scared of.  They're not waiting for Democrats to take over, they're ready now and there's every reason to assume plans are in place.  My mind always goes to bioweapons just because that's the only thing I can think of that would work.  I don't know if the US military is still at the border more than normal but Trump can send them there immediately and I'm sure plans for this were already made.

Maybe the left sees this as a no-lose scenario.  Either we shoot down all the invaders and Democrats use that as a political weapon or they're allowed to come in and things return to 'normal.'  It just doesn't seem like that's the full story here, there must be something else going on.  That's why I keep going back to bio-weapons.  It's not like they need these invaders to bring in drones or nukes.

Not sure why but I assume China is behind this.  You could point to any number of other suspects and they're probably involved but for whatever reason I think this is part of China's overall plan.  The left wants it but they can't really beg for invasion without being obvious, this could happen without them.  It was already set up for the stolen elections so this is a bigger plan than they're really capable of, that's why I immediately thought of China.

□ [“Abdul El-Sayed Launches New PAC After Campaigning to Get Big Money Out of Politics"]

This is why the last week has been so astounding.  They just said these things to gain power and aren't even hiding that's all it was.  It'll be about reinforcing their power and anything else is extraneous.  But their followers either don't bother to notice or just don't care.  It's not that the basic idea is so shocking but how do you set-up your people that way so unanimously without the slightest problem?

Now *maybe* you can argue the left is so deluded by pleasure after the last week - I don't recall them being this big in 2020 - that they just aren't paying attention to any of this.  It makes no sense but they never object to their own people getting rich so there's precedent.  The whole point is to destroy everything so they don't care what the rules are anyway.  And maybe their leaders don't have any higher goals either, they're just going for what they can get right away.

Everything about this seems guaranteed to fail once you get beyond the immediate lust for power but there's nothing to point to.  They stole the elections in a way that means the right-wing has no clue who to trust on their own side.  The globalist elite paid to get the best plans available by people who knew what they were doing.  I'd really really like to believe that Trump and Hegseth are prepared for this but, well, I do remember that from 2020 and it didn't work out well.

□ [“U.S. Strikes Iran’s Air Defenses as Tehran Seeks Russian Weapons"]

I don't think the Iran war made as big of a deal for the elections as others do but it didn't help.  This is where Trump should have been providing real leadership.  He set an example with Venezuela at the beginning of the year and maybe we shouldn't have expected a similar effect here but we had an excuse to think so.  Trump didn't help by constantly insisting it was almost over.

We don't hear much about it and it's not even clear what's happening, who's involved or what the point is.  After the effects of the last week, it's not even clear if we can believe our own memories or records.  Maybe that's just the effect of going up against Persia, or the leftist infiltration of society, or evil demons.  Maybe we're just taking too many drugs, who knows?  At some level it's not clear who's hallucinating or what is actually real.  Which isn't intrinsically different from being in a real warzone.

As much as I criticize the Trump administration for not being straightforward on this stuff, giving us full info on this war and pretty much everything else going on, there's also a sense that anything they say could be too much in the wrong direction.  More than just giving information to the wrong people, there's giving direction, inspiration, orders, and it's not clear who is receiving what.  The best we can hope for is that the mullahs, China, the left, everyone else is in the same predicament.  Everything that's not infinite has to come to an end.  So what about this conflict?
