□ [“DC Comics Pride Month Issue Features Transgender ‘Wonder Woman’"]

Because comics are always so good at keeping up with what the readers want.  That's why they sell so well.  I wonder how long this decision had been debated throughout the corporate hierarchy until someone finally told an editor to put together a creative team and put this book out.  At least it might have made sense five years ago.

I will admit that unlike virtually every other decades-old corporate IPs, Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston would probably have supported this.  Even if he didn't, he helped make it happen.  I'm seriously wondering what these large comics companies have been aiming for all these decades, especially with a medium and genre considered 'aimed at children.'

I have never been a Wonder Woman fan and to whatever extent I have any respect for the character, this just screams like something she would be opposed to in every possible way.  Which, oddly enough, lines up with why DC is so eager to do this.  You don't need consent from your property to do whatever you want to do to it and you'll decide what gender they are this month.

Maybe it's just a personal view because I've always been a fan of comics, maybe it's because comics are for whatever reason at the heart of pop culture, maybe this is just a convenient example but this is what's being pushed by leftism.  All these huge corporations, Hollywood, IPs, everything along the line is ready to burn.  Every day that passes, more people are willing to stand back and watch it happen.  No heroes will save them.

□ [“Trump Goes Off On Rigged California Election – '3rd World Nation. Rigged Elections!'"]

The non-white female Democrat who dropped out after losing has somehow gotten enough votes in the several days since to now be in second place.  She has over 40,000 more votes than she did on Election Night, there's no record as far as I know of the white male Republican getting a single vote during that time.  There was a two-term Republican mayor during the Clinton years but he's the only non-Democrat in office since JFK's first year as POTUS.  It's a one-party state and that's how Democrats want it.

Trump is making noise about this.  I'm iffy on that.  It's great that he's getting a lot of attention for this and he's usually fun to watch.  I am still ambivalent if the POTUS should really be doing this even though it clearly is something that needs to be done.  Perhaps that's why he made a point of campaigning in California a couple years ago to set the grounds for this.  He did make a point of insulting a leftist reporter, which was entertaining, but then why did he let her talk to him in the first place?  She hosts Meet the Press and worked to help Biden in the 2024 debate.

The city council districts show this is a one-party state and the few exceptions are probably deliberate.  Of the fifteen districts, ten of them haven't voted Republican since the 1960s.  One district has been solid Republican, no Democrat since 1948, but the current member went independent in 2020.  Another district had two Republicans in office from 1943 to 1985, that qualifies as an exception.  Two other districts had their Republicans go independent, one just before the Clinton administration, the other just after.  The last district has been Democrat since 2001.  I suspect the only reason they permitted Republicans during these years were to get access to that party to spy on them.

So the country is watching this.  Many things are going on but one reason is probably for incentive to have an unbeatable victory across the nation in the mid-terms.  Just make it too big for them to fake.  Examples were set in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024 and the recent ones.  Put that to use.  Furthermore, research is being done on the voter fraud.  Nick Shirley has identified a woman who is 126 years old according to the voting roles.  He knocked on her door and she's not 126 years old.  They're putting this together but what use will they make of it?

□ [“EU Sanctions Iran as European Allies Ask Trump to Back Hormuz Demining Mission"]

They're being forced to do something to protect their interests.  Officially a handful of ships are allowed to go through the Strait but otherwise it remains closed.  The EU would like to get back to burning fossil fuel so they're using whatever muscle they have on Iran and preparing to remove the mines Iran has set up across the Strait.  They waited this long to do anything.

Otherwise it does look like Trump has accomplished whatever the point was.  Iranians have not revolted but it might take a while to get that started.  I'm not happy about it but it has been pointed out that some of Eastern Europe took a while to react to the collapse of the Soviet era.  Russia and China still haven't really moved in to help their ally - as far as we know - and the rest of the Muslim world united with Israel against the mullahs.  There's a lot to criticize about how Trump has handled this but he's getting results and with almost no US casualties.

Iran and Israel are still fighting although the news is still very contradictory.  I'm looking at an article now that says Iran has agreed to stop fighting but gives absolutely no details on who or how or why.  Probably just their strange cultural ways but it's irritating that we still see no real point to this.  Iran wants to destroy Israel, we get that, but this is not really the best time.  And doesn't Israel have enough to do in their region?  I guess we can at least be glad that they're taking more of the risk.

□ [“Governor Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison Knew of Rampant Minnesota Fraud But Said Nothing"]

Another example of Democrats-in-charge covering up for their own people at the cost of everyone else.  Of course they lied, claiming they knew very little about this.  The House Oversight Committee's report points out that they had been informed of this fraud since 2019.  But they've only recently started doing anything about it, after the rest of the country found out.

Of course they'll just say the Republican-led committee is lying.  Gotta admit, that's probably their best option, just to get as many people as possible to side with them.  But those people need to be stupid and/or in on the fraud, normal people will be disgusted that this has gone on so long.  Even worse, we still only know a little of what they've been doing all these years.  Then there's 49 other states...

Civil War 2.0 is here and I think everybody senses it just from the general atmosphere.  Yet it hasn't gone kinetic.  We should still be ready for that and every day has more news stories of wackos in the US killing or trying to kill people but as tense as this is, it still hasn't reached the point of two armed forces headed out to fight.  Whatever there is remains smaller and mostly-ineffective, probably because Trump picked military leaders with experience handling Baghdad and similar areas.  Whatever the left has on their side, they aren't prepared for this.

□ [“Trump Offers Timeline for When Gas Prices Will Start Dropping Again"]

Trump gets credit for having a clue what actually matters to people.  Democrats weren't complaining about gas prices six months ago.  They didn't even mention gas prices.  They didn't complain about them two years ago either when they were at least as bad as they are now.  There has been a very slight drop in my town which I hoped was a sign that things would get better in the near future.

Trump says it'll be 90 days and the prices will be better than they were four months ago.  That would be just in time to ruin a lot of Democrat propaganda for the mid-terms.  Things like this are why I really hope Trump and his people have fully planned these things out.  I think any decent drop in gas prices would help the mid-terms but now he's on the record of saying things will be fixed.  Are the oil companies ready to start gushing out by then?  Because otherwise the Middle East needs to be fixed and you might need a little more than 90 days for that.

I actually started writing this to get to the Middle East but it does occur to me that it's been over a year and a half since oil companies started getting help from Trump and they had a few months to plan.  So things might be ready now and it's quite believable that everything was planned with this timing.  The oil companies had to restart whatever plans they had when Trump took his unscheduled four-year vacation but they're moving now.

This is why I hope the administration planned things out.  With all the build-up to the mid-terms, it would be awesome if this is yet-another failure for Democrats, especially since they always wanted high gas prices.  In fact it would almost be funny - not in a 'ha-ha' way - if the timing was off and the Middle East explodes, but gas prices are still going down.  People would have some major questions about that and how things work.

□ [“Israel Strikes Beirut After Hezbollah Missile Attack in Northern Israel"]
□ [“Iran Fires Ballistic Missiles at Israel as Regional Tensions Escalate"]

I get that Israel needs to deal with Hezbollah but it's been going on for a long time.  Lebanon is right next door, this should be something they'd have already handled, unless the Lebanese are overwhelmingly anti-Israel, which I don't think they are.  Iran clearly has close ties to Hezbollah but you'd think those would be cut off by now.

And Trump is arguing with Israel about this, at least publicly.  You'd think they would be on the same page and maybe they are in private but this just makes no sense.  That's not even counting the bizarre way the other Muslim nations are siding with Israel against Iran.  Meanwhile Russia and China haven't been able to help Iran as much as you'd expect.  They have other problems but they aren't backing it with major force.

The US has hit Iran in a few places, I haven't paid attention, radar sites at Goruk and Qeshm Island, but it's suggested this was a big deal for their side.  There is the impression that something has changed and the mullahs are clearly on the losing side.  The details are still not public and probably wouldn't be comprehensible if they were.  It is depressing, at what point will we be able to actually see what's going on?

□ [“Kiev and EU Globalists Scheming To Send Ukrainian Refugees Back Home to the Meatgrinder"]

There's already been a news story that some were already sent home and immediately sent to the front lines.  I'm skeptical that's true.  If they were really stupid enough to do that, wouldn't you be broadcasting it everywhere?  'Our heroes are home!'  I'm sure they're discussing it, Ukraine doesn't have any men left who are in the 23-60 age group.  I still don't get why their draft age starts at 23 but that's been consistently reported during the whole war so it's been going on forever.

But this shows the basic flaws of leftism, how they cannot fall back on their own beliefs.  The whole point of mass immigration is to get away from immediate danger, which Russia invading certainly qualifies as.  Europe is supposed to support that but suddenly they want to send the immigrants back home?  Is it because they're white men?  After all this time, they've still never found any other genders to draft.

So having destroyed the basic concept of 'immigration,' they're also telling everybody what they can do and don't require consent.  You believed the EU would protect you?  They won't.  Have fun on the front lines in a war.  The EU can't even announce that they're only doing this to Ukrainian men, everyone else will be protected.  No one's stupid enough to believe that.

Then there's the deeper hit at nationalism.  They aren't EU, they are Ukraine.  And for that matter, French, Italian, German, Hungarian, etc.  English, Scot, Welsh, Bogtrotters, they were never EU either.  The whole point of the EU, theoretically, was to get rid of these nations, now you're picking out one particular nationality and forcing them against their will to return to their home country.  Might as well require Russians to do that because their country f*cking started in Kiev!  They've had a thousand years to think about this, along with the influence of marxism and well, being Russian.  You ain't gonna win that argument but the EU is still trying.

Russia is currently taking the last part of Donetsk, the region they were fighting over in the first place.  Ukraine has recently been doing more with drones and missiles, I'm not sure how effective it's really been but at least it appears to have had more effect than the last several years of resistance.  This war will probably be remembered as where drones were really used in major ways, whether or not we find any other real purpose.

Latest LA Mayoral Ballot Dump Buries Spencer Pratt – Democrat Nithya Raman Projected to Win

□ [“Disney Investors Panic!  Star Wars Flops!  Will Avengers Doomsday Be Next?"]

The latest movie has barely passed $150 million after its third weekend.  It's going to struggle to get much more.  Return of the Jedi made $250 million on its first release.  1983 money and it was only in a thousand theaters nationwide.  It also wasn't as popular as the two previous movies.  This isn't doing well.

Disney has been taking it hard all down the line so yes, they need to worry about Marvel too.  Next year is another Star Wars movie and there's no reason to think it'll do anything.  In ten years they killed the franchises.  Yet their stock hasn't collapsed.  The suggestion is that the investors have been keeping it up because a large part of the economy depends on Disney.  That would give the leftists in charge a lot of leeway which seems to be coming to an end.

I still want Kathleen Kennedy to be required to answer some serious questions in public.  But the damage goes much deeper.  This company has been a leftist icon for a long time and with its spread across the world, there's a lot of connections and influence.  Disney was basically dead by its 100th anniversary, now Star Wars is in the same situation for its 50th.

The new Avengers movie is already expected to not be a hit.  It can't be, they've spent far too much money to make it, but they need to hope it's not a total bomb.  Is there anything they can do to save it?  Especially when we can just post the youtube videos of the only Avengers actors anyone cares about promoting Kamala Harris.  Comics fans have long known that it's a lot easier to just drop the titles you used to like instead of spending more and more time and money just to keep track.  Yet leftists still believe that these corporate IPs will always be there and never notice the contradiction.

□ [“NBC News Casually Admits Mail-in Ballots Always Put Democrats Ahead"]

And there's the real goal of the Spencer Pratt candidacy.  He came in a decent second place in the L.A. elections where the point is to narrow the candidates down to two for a follow-up election in November.  Then the mail-in ballots started being counted and he gets zero votes.  As far as I know, he hasn't lost yet but it's clear that will happen soon.  That's why the votes take so long to get counted, so Republicans have no chance.

That's what Pratt was sent in for.  He made enough noise that he had a good chance of winning over voters in this one-party city.  This is an example of several options that are prepared for.  He might win, showing California how stagnant it is.  He might lose the election but it will show that there's a large number of non-Democrats with no representation in government.  Or you get what we have here where the theft is happening in front of everybody.  In each possibility, the blame goes to one party, the one that's been in charge for decades.

It's California so I doubt they'll be careful about this but everybody sees it and not just in this state.  People everywhere will be asking if their state follows any of these policies that make voter fraud so beneficial to one party year after year.  These people might like some evidence in all 50 states that the mid-terms aren't going to be treated this way, not by the party that promises to punish everyone who didn't vote for them in 2024.

□ [“Trump-Hater Forced to Make Painful Admission When She Sees New Reflecting Pool in Person"]

This is the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.  For many years it was wasted, then Trump fixed it.  I had to look it up to find out it was the Lincoln Memorial because the reflection of the Washington Monument is getting all the attention.  It was a year or so ago that Trump barged in and started making decisions for DC and now there are obvious improvements.  Meanwhile Chicago is giving a big example of what happens when liberals stay in charge.

Trump is a builder anyway.  He was also much younger when Rudy Giuliani was his mayor and made a point about fixing things, the "broken windows" theory.  It just makes the city look better.  Leftist cities are all seeing these problems and can't do anything about it.  What is Chicago going to do with the stadium now?  People will see it going to waste and say "Democrats did that."  They'll look at the Lincoln reflecting pool and say "Democrats didn't do that."

□ [“DHS Busts Drug Smuggling Tunnel - Rail System and Reinforced Walls From Tijuana to San Diego"]

It's only about 15-20 miles apart, not as bad as I was expecting, but an underground rail system of that distance is still a big deal.  So far we don't know how long it's been there and 55 feet under ground, with electricity, it took a while to build.  The footage only showed one brief glimpse of the rail system - I think that's what it was - so I'm not sure if people could actually travel on it.  So it probably wasn't trafficking, just product, weapons, money.  Well, maybe small children.

I haven't thought much about it so it's a surprise to realize that we haven't heard much about problems at the border for a while.  It's almost like shutting them down really worked.  Some people are trying to move in drugs - Texas just busted a stash house in Eagle Pass - but I'm pretty sure that's been cut down a lot in the last year and a half.

For that matter, I can't think of much in the way of news on if illegals are still getting in.  There was an official announcement a month or so ago that two or three million had left on their own, plus however many Trump has kicked out.  It's only a dent in the problem but it's more than anyone else has done.  Despite Trump's rhetoric, I'm skeptical that this is a problem that can really be solved.  But we can keep trying.

This may be another thing that we don't hear much about, or at least I'm not paying much attention to it.  But the Department of Labor Inspector General is announcing people who are being punished for various amounts of fraud and other theft of taxpayer money.  I am curious why the Labor Department is the one handling this.  Nothing else to work on?  Sort of makes the argument that this department isn't very needed.  Maybe that's the point.

I have to admit I'm curious about how much progress has been made on all the fraud but obviously I haven't been focusing on it.  As much as I criticize Trump not getting things done and taking on too many big tasks, this one is a big deal and probably should be getting more attention.  I have to wonder how much cheaper the government would be if it had never allowed this fraud in the first place.  But if that was the case, the Uniparty would need to find another reason to exist.

I'm also wondering who counts the money being moved, or restored if it can be taken back from the criminal.  Because at some point there would have to be a fairly simple-to-understand tally to present to Congress and the public.  'This many billions of dollars were stolen by these people.  That many billions have been restored.'  I can't think of the terminology and don't know how government financing works but I know enough to know that at some point it can be done in a fairly simple way.  The right would applaud and the left would have to explain why they let this happen for so long.

Trump is old, there are legitimate reasons to worry but that's as far as Democrats can get with anyone who doesn't already believe whatever nonsense they're spouting out now.  There's probably no way to make this an official law but anybody who doesn't have concrete proof that they had the same issues with Joe Biden must be ignored for saying anything like this ever again.  You wasted your credibility, live with it.

They've been saying this nonsense for a while but all of a sudden it's gotten louder.  I have to wonder if this isn't just saying what they're told to say but could there be a timeline requirement here?  For the first, let's say, sixteen months they were still capable of remembering Biden's senility or they would be humiliated if someone brought that up when they criticized Trump.  But now time has passed and they can officially pretend it never happened.

Just a look at Trump's schedule shows that he's busy.  I'm having trouble finding any record of Joe Biden's daily schedule but we know he wasn't busy.  There was little in the mornings or evenings and it was often left blank.  He had plenty of time to rest.  Trump is a workaholic so it's natural that he takes a moment here or there to close his eyes and then get back to whatever he's doing.  They never even notice contradiction of him being a tyrant yet also being senile and always asleep.

□ [“Democrat Senators Squirm When Asked About Graham Platner of Maine"]

They avoid saying anything specific but it's clear they endorse him.  Because they agree with him on everything or they just have such low standards that they don't care.  This is what Orange Man Bad is doing to the party.  Given that they're admitting they'll impose tyranny on anyone they don't like, it's obvious they'll take anyone they think will help get them there.

I'm getting they're going to say as little about Platner as possible.  Anything else might hurt his chances of winning.  They've supported him this long, they'll stick with it.  But they are worried that he has still more secrets ready to be exposed.  Republicans are giving the impression that they have more but it might just be an empty threat, just to make Democrats react badly.  Or they do have more and maybe it won't make a difference.  It depends on how well the party can steal the election and how many real voters are as pathetically desperate as Democrat leaders.

I also have a theory that they already knew about his shenanigans, they just didn't see anything wrong with it.  A lot of them have nazi tattoos and abused girlfriends, they just don't have any reason to show it in public.  The sort of behavior that you insist it's totally right and justified but for some reason don't want people outside the group to know about.  The sort of things you claim to oppose when other people do them.

I'm still pessimistic and assume Platner will win by any means necessary but either way I think this will be a huge problem for the party.  If he wins, they're stuck with him rising to power and everybody else with the same mentality, proof that they can get away with it.  If he loses they'll be forced to ask how they let it get this far.  Given everything else they're still hiding from their own supporters, that's even more internal chaos spilling out.

I thought the Big Beautiful Bill had made sure ICE was funded for the next few years anyway.  Maybe it's done by an alternate form of funding and this is just an official congressional use of taxpayer money.  But I'd swear I was told ICE funding hadn't stopped, even in the shutdown.  Oh well, as the saying goes, I write this stuff down so I don't have to remember it.

This bill still has to get through the House.  Reportedly that will be easy, we'll see about that, but it's a complete loss for Democrats.  None of their anti-ICE demands get met and the best they can do is cut off non-ICE related issues which should have nothing to do with this bill at all ever under any circumstances!  What's wrong with you people?  Trump had started a 'weaponization fund' for those who were persecuted by the Biden administration, that seems to be over, and this also hits the rebuilding of the White House ballroom.  Because that's what ICE is all about I guess.

If it passes the House - and Uniparty is really desperate to win something here so that's not guaranteed - what will the left do about it?  They can't attack the politicians who voted against it and they haven't gotten far with protests so far.  Not that it'll stop them, the Uniparty could be a target for not stopping Orange Man.  And it's nearly summer so they'll have lots of free time for protests.  But those haven't worked either, I can't even remember when the last 'day of protests' was and I attended the local one.  The left has got to be desperate to find a new trick and now they can't even stop ICE.

He posted it on president.gov.ua so I assume it's official.  Problem is there's no reason to take it seriously.  You think the US would take it seriously if Iran asked for a ceasefire?  Wait, what?  Ok, let me try that again.  Have Russians ever indicated that they like ceasefires unless it's on their terms, such as when Putin unilaterally declares one for the holidays?

Making this demand public suggests it's serious although it might also be a trick.  Russia will probably assume the latter and Putin has already basically dismissed the demand.  He also points out that Zelensky says Europe will provide security guarantees, not the US.  So there is a definite divide in NATO at this point.  This just comes across as demanding a ceasefire and I can't stop seeing this as parallel to Iran, like they know they've lost but think they can hold out with negotiations.

Kind of startling to realize how much this war has been forgotten by most people.  That's totally understandable in one sense, it's not our war.  I still think Russia had to plan for this, knowing that European and US elites would care very much but normal people would have no interest.  But in another sense this war has just become daily life for anybody not on the front lines.  Even the western propagandists have rarely mentioned it for a long time.

On Poland I could go either way.  I'm fine with us expanding our 'global policeman' job but I'm not fine with pissing off Russia just to piss off Russia.  With Lithuania, I'm slightly more skeptical, just because 'let us have your nukes' isn't really a good topic of discussion.  How do we stop them from sabotaging the nukes or using them against us?

More relevant is that these members of NATO and the EU are asking us directly.  All these allies nearby and they're not the ones you ask for help.  In some cases they're ignoring the war and attacking the EU for its 'climate agenda.'  Eastern Europe has long made the point that the EU is basically the communists they spent decades trying to escape from.  I've long wondered if that was the real goal of the Soviet collapse, to flush this out into the rest of the continent.  Which clearly worked.

The war with Ukraine seems to still keep going like it has for four+ years.  Kiev is being destroyed with missiles and drones but at this point it doesn't seem to make a difference.  If the people aren't telling their government to surrender - if they're permitted to say that - nothing's going to happen.  Which does seem odd given what's going on across Europe as citizens resist their governments but anyway...

Peace talks with the US are continuing although nobody pays attention.  Even if we did, I'm not sure we'd have a clue what they're talking about at this point.  Trump's had a year and a half to let Ukraine solve its own problems but hasn't done that so what else is going on?  The rest of Europe has shown no interest in building an actual military that's capable of anything.  If this was about reenacting the ongoing war of 1984 between Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia, what exactly would they be doing differently?

Then there's this.  I haven't paid any attention to the 'weaponization fund.'  It seems to be a fund to help people who were persecuted by the Biden administration.  It might be a nice idea but I'm not sure it's something the government should do.  Repay the victims financially what they lost, fine, but anything else is a perk which most people don't get anyway.  You can say it's totally wrong but that's just the way government is.  You overpay a bill to them, they'll send you a refund when they get around to it.  They overpay a bill to you, they want immediate reimbursement and will punish you for noncompliance.

Until I started writing this, I hadn't noticed that these were all Senate bills.  I assume they're up to something although I can't imagine what.  Other than trying to get as many Republicans as possible to turn on Trump, none of this seems to have any purpose.  I doubt any of this will make voters decide to support or oppose any particular candidate so who is this supposed to appeal to?

□ [“Three Ex-Lovers of Graham Platner Reveal His Physical Abuse, Behavior and Sickening Remarks"]

They'll just win more Democrat votes for him.  I'm increasingly convinced that he's going to win.  Why else would they have waited so long to say anything about him?  He fantasized about killing people he thought were a threat and if anyone broke in, he'd rape them just to prove his dominance.  And this isn't standard Democrat policy how exactly?

As always, the 'believe all women' crowd have found something better to do.  I think Platner is doing a big interview soon but otherwise has been ordered to stay quiet so he doesn't hurt his campaign any more.  He'll still get enough stolen votes but they need to at least appear to be real.  But still, Democrats must really be wondering how the party handles these background checks.  You can't ask an ex-girlfriend what he's like?

But keep in mind these women may be lying.  Or worse, they have no clue what is or isn't true.  What sort of women would you expect to be attracted to a guy like this and stay with him for long periods of time?  They'll probably still vote for him and don't even need to be in Maine.  They could have done something to stop his career from advancing and all held back so now he's on the edge of gaining real power.  Thanks, ladies.

□ [“Jill Biden Defends Hunter Biden Pardon in CBS Interview"]

This was from several days ago, admitting that Hunter would have gone to jail without the pardon, but she's still going.  She and Hunter are the only two family members who can actually do anything and Hunter doesn't have a very good image.  At least Jill has been able to be a successful politician's wife for a few decades.

But everybody seems to understand this is about blaming Biden and his people for everything that went wrong.  Even Republicans wouldn't do that, they know that the people who installed Biden deserve most of the blame, but Democrats think it will fix everything for them.  For some reason the party has always believed the past can be erased or rewritten to whatever they want.  "Let the past die, kill it if you have to," as a recent Star Wars movie said, made by Democrat donors.

They can't blame Harris because then they have to answer why they were so ignorant of a long-term Democrat's incompetence.  Biden was in Congress, they already knew that about him.  And anything else gets people to ask who was in charge and why they did this so privately.  That's not how you support the public.  This will probably take the Bidens out of the picture but it won't solve the party's problems.  We need to reinforce their defeat and I don't think another election cycle will be enough to do that.

Jill will probably vanish for the most part after this book tour.  Hunter will make some noise but it's mostly ignorable except to make fun of him.  But that's just getting rid of a few symptoms, the party still has much deeper problems they want to ignore.  Because that will lead them to victory.

So, hypothetically, what would happen if Trump sent in troops to help?  You could argue that he has the authority to do this with the War Powers Act although that's quite iffy.  It would be tough to prove this is a legitimate threat to the US which is the priority.  We already have troops stationed there but I'm thinking it should be dramatic.  Thousands of soldiers coming in on parachutes, the Navy and Marines on the seaside.  We're Americans, we're here to help.

How many Brits would turn that offer down?  Not saying we should lay waste to the land with the Air Force but we have armed men patrolling to protect the British.  We arm and train them to take over.  We keep their government officials out of our way.  NATO would be unhappy but what exactly could they do about it?  Especially considering Trump would need approval within 60 days.

There are some other options but none as dramatic.  Special Operations goes in to oversee the British Revolution.  But thinking about it, would it really be necessary?  It might be simple enough to just make the offer to the British people and let them call out their approval.  It's probably not possible but it would be funny to put it up to a vote, not one run by the government.  I know this won't happen but I came up with the notion this morning and can't stop thinking about the possibilities.  This would get rid of a lot of the problems Britain has been facing for far too long.

□ [“House Passes Resolution to End War with Iran 215-208 - Four Republicans Side With Democrats"]

This looks like a show and that's probably what it is.  The resolution should have no chance of passing the Senate and Trump can still veto it.  Why the hell the POTUS has the authority to veto Congress on declaring or ending a war is not something I have a clue about but there it is.  But Iran is really trying to push whatever influence they have around the world, and that includes Congress.

They're also using their authority in the UN to get appointed to committees that they were already banned from.  Some countries pretend to care about "human rights" but only for certain committees and the right approach will make that irrelevant.  They're also still sending out missiles and drones on other nations.  CENTCOM says we've stopped some but they have hit an airport in Kuwait.  Real helpful there.

Iran also says they've stopped negotiations with the US because Israel is fighting in Lebanon.  In one sense they're obviously connected but in another, shouldn't Iran be more concerned about their part in the war?  They make that claim which suggests their position isn't as weak as it should be.  It's definitely relevant, Trump even admits he just had an argument with Netanyahu over "constantly fighting in Lebanon."  It's things like this which is making the war drag on too long and giving Democrats a chance to speak out like this.  The clock is still ticking.

□ [“A Very Confused Joe Biden Crashes Jill’s Book Event, Steals Spotlight in Uncomfortable Moment"]

I get the impression he had had been sitting in the crowd.  He was probably supposed to stay there and stay quiet but he doesn't know any better so this is what you get.  He interrupts Jill and host Whoopi Goldberg asking "who do you love most in the whole world?"  She tries to treat this as a humorous moment but Joe keeps talking longer than he should and not about anything relevant.  This is what you tied yourself to, Jill, you're stuck with it.

It is strange that he was brought to this event in the first place.  Manhattan Upper East-Side, why would he go so far away from home?  But that's why I assume he was supposed to stay quiet and barely noticed.  But I suspect some of his staff feel an obligation to make him appear competent and not-senile.  But then you get scenes like this, you can't just order him to stop acting this way.

□ [“On Social Media, Hunter Biden Candidly Responds to Critics Trolling Him Over Cocaine Habit"]

Meanwhile the only other member of the family who can bring in any money is getting into online arguments about how much he did drugs.  Perhaps Hunter is still on drugs, maybe that's why he has no clue that he can't win this fight.  This is why famous people should stay out of these arguments.  There's a lot more people out there who would entertain themselves by making Hunter angry and he's not going to make himself look any better.

I'm guessing the family is kind of desperate.  Jill probably got tons of money for this book in advance, no need to actually sell any but is that enough?  It only needs to last a few more years, then she and Joe will be dead, but they have expensive lifestyles.  Hunter flat-out admits that he only got paid for paintings while his dad was staying at the White House so he's going to need something else to make it through the next few decades.

□ [“Hollywood Destroyed Boy Brands:  He-Man Box Office Disaster After Star Wars!  Is Avengers Doomed?"]

I keep pondering this, if their actual goal was to destroy boy brands, what would they be doing differently?  But then how could these people be in charge for so long and stay there through all this failure?  But then how did they stay there anyway with all the failure?  In 12 days, the Star Wars movie has made barely more than the 2018 Solo movie made in 9 days and that movie was a huge failure.

This movie was reportedly entirely aimed at boys who simply aren't interested.  Old people have a hard time thinking about this but the target audience, 6-12 year old boys, have only known Star Wars as a 'girl brand' their entire lives.  There's simply no incentive to see this.  And now they're doing that with He-Man.

I had a very slight interest in He-Man as a kid, had one or two toys, watched some of the cartoons.  Star Wars, Transformers and comic books were far more relevant so I've always seen this franchise as totally stuck in the early-80s for small children of the time.  It's not clear if the new movie is *woke* but reportedly it's looking like a failure just because the audience is sick of it.  Whatever merits the movie might have, I just learned that there was a cartoon done a decade or two ago, a reboot which killed He-Man and Skelator right away and left the 'girl boss' in charge for the rest of the series.  Yet again, any audience there was has no incentive to return.

In a few weeks, there will be the Supergirl movie.  That's sounding increasingly like a failure as well.  It's a bit iffy because the actor who played Aquaman is now playing Lobo and if anybody could get a hit superhero movie these days, Lobo's one of the best options.  But he'd have to be done right and there's no reason to think they did.  One more reason to have no incentive to find out if they did a good job this time.

I have a bit of personal affection for Supergirl.  I still think doing her right - totally girly - might have a chance.  But the actress is already killing any success this movie might have with her interviews.  Reportedly she's barely in costume the whole movie and nothing about the trailer shows any connections to Earth or human beings.  Males will still be the main audience, none of this will appeal to females and this is why these movies are failing.

So now we can expect Avengers to fail this December.  In one sense it was already known, they're spending ungodly amounts of money on this movie that there's no chance of it earning back.  Reportedly the point is to get people interested in the Marvel franchise again so maybe a future movie will make a profit.  I highly doubt it, I think people are done.  I'm not saying the franchise is completely over but social media has been posting ads for this movie for a year or two at this point.  That is the wrong way to interest anybody.

And once again, there's nothing to bring the boys in.  Actual customers, the sort of people who would go 'I want to see this so I will' instead of just complying with their friends or social media.  The current two most popular movies are very cheap horror movies made by people who started on youtube.  To the extent movies can be considered an art-form, that's the sort of sincerity that makes product people actually want to see.  In theory you could even make a movie franchise aimed at girls - why does Barbie have no sequel? - but that's where the real work is done.

□ [“Kirkwood School Board President Calls for Trump's Murder on Facebook"]

They're all going in for this.  The pause in not screaming for assassination is over.  A couple other women have posted videos demanding death.  These people have no self control and are very public about behavior that other people won't want to be around.  Don't be the person that everyone expects to suddenly snap.

I'm just guessing but I think this is what they're trying to do with July 4th protests.  At this point I doubt the Trump administration will have any major victory to point to by then - there's a reason no one is tired of winning - so maybe it's about getting the insane leftists to bubble over at this target date.  The activists they've kept mentally bouncing around all these years will somehow be able to put together a coherent united resistance.  That's not going to work.

Having never had any interest in behavioral science, I've started wondering what large-scale practices have been used here.  The Germans experienced, the Chinese, the US military, they've spent a lot of time seeing what can be done to large groups of people.  I'm ambivalent on whether they found any real determinations but there are many ways to use anything they did discover.

It would be nice to think it just works on the left and that's what they're being pushed towards these days.  Might even explain why big businesses involved in conspiracy theories - the 'rand corporation' - to push it out to media and pop culture.  That's a fun theory I just made up but deliberately or not, I think someone is pushing these people over the edge.

Jill Biden Stumped When Asked if Joe Could Serve as President if He Was Elected in 2024

□ [“Britain Responds to Grotesque Anti-White Murder of Henry Nowak"]

Is Britain finally ready to overthrow these monsters?  Have we finally reached the turning point where you won't take any more of this?  A couple days ago, an Indian stabbed a white guy.  Police arrived, didn't even take the Indian's knife away.  He called the white guy "racist" so they sided with him.  The white guy begged for help, the police said they didn't even believe he was stabbed, and then he died.  The Indian had stolen the knife from a store two years ago, he carried it around openly because it was his "religion."

This happened in December but the footage is only out now.  The police handcuff the white guy because he was "racist" but somehow didn't notice all the blood coming out of him after being stabbed five times.  I'm not even sure the police officers can be punished, they were just 'following orders.'  Reportedly one has already resigned for this.  The non-British have all the rights, the British can all die, that's the rules.

There are now riots in Southampton where this happened.  Political leaders and candidates have already spoken out.  Most of them are probably condemning the murder or the police behavior, I'm sure they want to save themselves.  I'm going to stay pessimistic and assume this won't work out.  For the time being, there will be removing a few illegals, the ones who kill the most people maybe, but that's about it.  Prove me wrong or you wind up like Henry Nowak.

□ [“Democrat Strategist Torches L.A. Mayor Karen Bass - Spencer Pratt Might Win With Voter Anger"]

Well yes, voters are angry.  They elected Donald Trump three times, doesn't that sound like anger to you?  [Fortunately Trump was courteous enough to agree to only serve two terms.]  I'm still going to assume that California election fraud is in place and Pratt has no chance of winning but I suspect he will do much better than L.A. Republicans have done for quite a while.  Too many people are pissed off that government does nothing but spend more of our money to increase its own power.

It's becoming clear to all sane people that this is what the left is after and it's always incompetent.  Just look at the results of the California fires, where virtually nothing has been done to rebuild a year and a half later.  That's the wave Pratt is riding to get this much publicity, given that he lost his home in the fire.  We can all see this happening everywhere, Democrats and RINOs support it without hesitation.

Then there's the obvious hypocrisy.  One of the main Democrat candidates is a billionaire.  Suddenly all the anti-billionaire rhetoric goes out the window, leftists are fine with billionaires who say what they want to hear.  You think they don't have a way to get richer with that?  These basic truths are right in front of them and still get ignored, despite contradicting what they've been saying for years.  This shows that these people mean nothing of what they say, it's all about seizing power by any means necessary.  We've had to put up with them our entire lives so yeah, that makes us angry.

□ [“EU Climate Scam Exposed - IPCC Admits Doomsday Scenario Was 'Implausible'”]

The 'global warming' movement is failing.  Not sure why, I'm sure a lot of fraud was exposed by DOGE but the whole world can't rely on US funding, can it?  Why is the EU suddenly admitting this?  They're not changing any of their endless rules of course, they will never give up power peacefully.  But the fact that they're admitting it at all is shocking.

Several months ago it was announced that they would be returning to "global cooling" as the threat everything must be controlled for.  I found that a bit weird, I've spent the last several summers in hot places so I'm a bit more likely to believe in "global warming" than anything else but here they are.  I even wonder if they're deliberately pushing people away from warming just for the shock if/when it finally happens.  But they're messing up their own consistency by doing this.

Hopefully this is another example of the leftist elites crumbling.  Whether it's DOGE cutting off funding or some other switch has been pulled, they have to get by on their own and are not remotely used to that.  Like all leftists facing disaster, the notion of 'collectivism' is gone and they're all rushing to save themselves as individuals.  Some of them have more power than others so that's probably what we're seeing here.
