□ [“Brief Timeline of Swalwell’s Epic and Disgusting Fall from Grace"]

I keep saying this story will vanish any moment because the left really can't allow it to continue but since it is still going, they really need to address some big questions about why they were so supportive.  The part that struck me was the video for governor with a bunch of rich people supporting Swalwell.  Adam Schiff and Sean Penn are the only two whose names I recognized but they're all listed, mostly politicians or union leaders.

So what it is about Swalwell that made you side with him so easily?  What did he say or do that let you know this was the best possible choice?  What distinguished him from any other candidate?  If someone else said or did the same things as Swalwell, would they be able to sucker you just as easily?  Sean Penn is the most famous person in the ad - and I still really only know him as Madonna's husband - so I'm really curious if he put any actual work to check into Swalwell and see if there was anything wrong or if he just falls for the lies.

Another article actually names some other celebrities who supported Swalwell, the names you'd expect.  Robert DeNiro, Jane Fonda, he might have been the very last person to get money from Rob Reiner.  So they're all in on him, probably in more ways than one.  That's why this was such a surprise that all of a sudden, he's out.  They were counting on him, now who can they turn to?  And why would you put yourself in that position to begin with?  Don't you do any background checks?  Oh and where is all the money you donated to him going now?

That's why the left needs this story silent and completely past-tense before it hits the media and other politicians.  Swalwell's allies are the main target, and of course they're all liberals.  Then there's the media.  Swalwell was in Congress for a decade and a half, he was running for governor and had run for POTUS in 2020, those would all be good opportunities to check out what this guy is up to when he's not on tv.  Leftist news site Politico says they were investigating him for this POTUS run but he dropped out so that was it.  It means either they didn't try very hard so they never found anything or they did find something and kept it hidden for all these years, helping Swalwell get away with it.

□ [“Former Virginia Democrat Lieutenant Governor Kills His Wife and Himself"]

The highest-ranking black man in Virginia political history to commit a murder-suicide!  It's not just for whitey anymore!

He was elected Lieutenant Governor in 2018, the following year he was accused of a bunch of sexual assaults and rape.  Not enough to get him kicked out of office, or even get much media publicity but there he was.  And now he's gone.  He and his wife were getting a divorce but still lived together.

There seem to be a lot of stories like this, low-ranking politicians who find some way to die.  I assume they're in the Uniparty so I rarely even look at what party they're officially in.  Several years ago we were told how Democrats always start running for the highest-ranking jobs, Congress or Governor or POTUS, while Republicans start off in city and county offices.  Haven't heard that for a while and have been wondering if the left managed to get that reversed (assuming it was actually true.)  That might explain more of these deaths, especially with Epstein, P. Diddy, the NXIVM cult and now Swalwell.

So my theory is that these people see that they're close to getting caught and this is the only way to escape.  There are other possibilities, they're just insane, they take a lot of drugs, it's one of those mysterious suicides that needs three headshots and a noose to be really effective.  But I'd like to think it's mostly the same 'you'll never take me alive!' mentality.  It's things like this that make me continue to believe the Trump administration is really trying to get a bunch of secrets released that the left doesn't want us to know.

□ [“Zohran Mamdani ‘Free’ City-Owned Grocery Store Will Cost $30 Million, Won’t Open Until 2029"]

One of those things that shows how leftists ignore reality in numerous ways.  For one thing, actual grocery stores don't cost that much or take that long to open.  Anyone relying on this 'free' grocery store is SOL for the next three years, assuming it opens on schedule.  No one's even going to ask him how his idea can be so good that he won't actually do it for years.  He'll be running for re-election or a different office by then.

Also it was supposed to be "free."  It won't be "free" anymore.  He promises lower prices but that's not what he got votes for.  Did he have no clue how setting up a grocery store worked or was he just lying to gain power?  Either way, why should anyone trust him when he insists the prices will be lower?  He's already gone back on his promise and hasn't even started construction yet.

The worst part is that we know the left will completely ignore this.  To the extent they refer to it at all, they will just produce puff pieces about how great this not-free grocery store will be in the future if it ever gets built.  California did the same thing with their high-speed rail and nobody dares to challenge them about that.

So how many people actually believe this not-free grocery store is a real goal and they're sure it will happen, and how many are just using it to launder taxpayer money?  That's the thing that's really spooky about the left, we have no clue how what percentage of the population is actually in on this.  If NYC has gotten this far, there's no reason to think they won't keep making it worse.

But they don't need to *prove* they're gay, they just need to say it and that's enough.  They can even bring their wife.  Oh yeah, she's gay too.  I've forgotten most of what I used to know about Islam but I do remember that lying to the infidel is perfectly acceptable.  IIRC they are able to go further than that.  What is a sin in Islam isn't that bad when done with the infidel, including various types of sex.  So if they really need to prove it, they might be able to find a way.

So that could explain a lot about western politics for the last few decades.  The leftists want more and more immigration, the incoming Muslims unanimously vote with liberals and the *woke* agenda gets pushed harder and harder until the Muslims have taken over the nation.  For convenience I would cite 9/11 as the turning-point for this although you could cite earlier examples.  This is effectively a worldwide version of what happened with Iran in 1979 and then there's the inspiration of Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb.

I'm sure there's more to this - the perversion of rich leftists - but this would go a long way towards gays and trans and child-molesters suddenly getting a lot more social influence and authority than they deserve.  The left falls for it because they're the left.  The Muslims know it's guaranteed to fail but they're in the clear because it's not like they believe in it themselves.  Meanwhile the rest of us are effectively hit from both sides.  The Uniparty would have ways to pass the tests in their respective circles, those who understand leadership and control could manipulate the others.  I'm not sure how to prove this but it looks like a really believable argument of how this has all happened as well as giving us a better clue on who we're fighting.

□ [“Eric Swalwell Finds Out About Sudden 'Investigative Reporting'"]

As you might expect, Democrats have already forgotten about Swalwell, the front-runner for California governor just a couple days ago.  A few have pointed out that his behavior was a well-known secret, nobody will follow up on that.  No one will even ask why nobody said anything when he was running for POTUS in 2020.  Just think of how many women they could have protect from him back then.  Instead all we're left with is the remaining right-wing media pointing out the problems and hypocrisy.

So now we'll see what happens to the political race.  A billionaire is the new front-runner because Democrats do love their billionaires.  Meanwhile others speculate on who was responsible for this.  Given how many Democrats knew about Swalwell, there's a lot of suspects.  The fact that it was all timed so quickly does indicate someone with a lot of influence but the same people need to insist they knew nothing about it whatsoever.  No one would dare tell Nancy Pelosi what her fellow San Francisco Democrat did to women, she's probably punish anyone who tried.

There's even speculation that they're trying to clear out the competition for Michelle Obama.  That's why Newsom's problems are becoming public.  I really doubt that, she's never showed any ability or interest to be appointed to any office.  She's also not from California so that kind of hurts her chances, at least if you follow the law.

I would like to think this is some trap set by the Trump administration but I can't figure out how.  Perhaps the main question would be 'who told these women to suddenly speak out?'  They worked around Swalwell so they'd be known among the local Democrats.  They'd probably also be spied on, but who knows if that's the Trump administration, China or just other Democrats?

□ [“California Taxpayers Funding Homeless Illegal Aliens to Get Sex-Changes and Breast Implants"]

One of those time where you have to stop and wonder if this is real or just a fraud to spam more money, and which would be worse.  This appears to be centered around San Francisco - where Eric Swalwell and Nancy Pelosi have represented - but that may just be because this was the one that was discovered and it happens elsewhere.  No matter how much money is spent on California homelessness, it just keeps growing.  You think there's a connection?

Investigations are going on, usually by private citizens because the government supports this fraud.  An employee at the Los Angeles Housing Department has been caught on video admitting there's a lot of fraud, also dealing with the homeless.  They have nothing to worry about, it's not like there's any accountability.  Democrats can't lose elections to anybody except other Democrats.

There seems to be no way to reverse this.  What does it take to get people to realize that we cannot share a country with these people any longer?  Put the navy on one side and walls around the rest of the state and keep them all away from us.  Or at least find out what it takes to get a state to lose that status and revert to a territory.  Put a twenty or fifty-year requirement on that to show that they've learned a lesson before they're allowed to come back.

But they're not ending the tax.  Heck no, it's just four and a half months, dropping a few cents-per-gallon.  That's how much they care.  Ireland just did the same thing so I'm wondering how much of this is about leftist governments realizing that they need to step back before they're overthrown.

The new prime minister of Hungary is a total globalist but immediately insisted that they would not be following the EU's immigration policy.  I'm not sure I believe that one, he's already been attacking other less-globalist EU leaders.  Pope Leo said a couple sensible things when he took over and look what's happened since.

Maybe it's just that the globalists are becoming more open about wanting to be in charge of everything, or at least have total authority within their shrinking realms.  Unlike their supporters, they have a clue what's going on.  The real citizens are pissed, the leftists are worthless and the illegal immigrants are just taking over.  These elites just want to keep everything quiet until they themselves have died of old age, then they don't care what happens next.

So the point, at least one of them, was to keep Iran from having any access to the Strait.  Other countries can send ships through.  It's Iran that's hit the hardest by this.  And maybe Pakistan, their president is saying their country is almost broke and the negotiations were supposed to fix that.  Um, ok.  Separate nations shouldn't be so dependent on another for survival, is there something they aren't telling us?  Like maybe they're one nation under two names?  If anybody could figure that out, it's probably the Shi'ite and Sunni.

If Iran is blocked off, it means nobody can come to help them, at least not by sea or air.  We still don't know if any protestors are still there in Iran but there was a great piece of news, if true.  Protestors, or whatever they were, killed a leader of the Basij, a militia part of the IRGC.  They stabbed him many times on the streets of Tehran.  That's not something you could do if the regime was still safe and powerful.  Bombs were used in another Tehran neighborhood and the Basij blames internal traitors.

I still think (hope) that the Trump administration planned this thoroughly so it would last much less than the 90-day limit before Congress has to approve it.  The fact that globalists and elites are rushing to support the mullahs shows what side they've always been on, so what will we be looking at if the regime falls tomorrow or next week?  What influence has Iran had around the world for the last half-century, which would explain why no one else has gone ahead and handled it like Trump did?

They're all trying to get involved on this.  No one's asking the women why they waited so long to say anything and what suddenly changed all their minds.  I guess there wouldn't be any good answers for that.  Like everything else, we can assume they're going to use this against Trump but I also have to wonder if this is about giving the other leftist elites some instruction on how these investigations are handled.  That way they know what to hide so they won't have to face the problem Swalwell has.

Nancy Pelosi had to rush out to say that Democrats had no clue about any of this.  There are already Democrats contradicting that - former San Francisco Mayor Willy Brown, for instance - but it also raises another issue.  What is it about Democrats that abused women *REALLY* don't want to tell them anything?  No matter how many years it goes on and how many women get abused, Democrats are too busy talking about how much they care.  Don't you even do background checks on these people?

□ [“Kimmel’s Conspicuous Silence After Rolling Out the Red Carpet for Swalwell as Governor"]

Another crack in the leftist celebrity ladder.  They're all connected, they're all promoting each other.  Kimmel is on ABC, a Disney property.  No way to know what chances Swalwell had of winning a fair election in California (ahem) but they were backing him.  And once again they're all totally ignorant of who they were promoting, or they just need to stay very quiet about it.  They also have to worry what all the girls (or whatever they self-identify as) will be accusing them of.

So it's fine that this sort of thing is coming out but there's also still no real consequences.  We can have all the suspicions we want but there really needs to be a clear explanation of what the f*ck they're doing all this for.  I assume it's a demon-worshipping cult but there needs to be some evidence.  It may be focused on Hollywood and California but is also spread all around the world.  There's still no end in sight and we don't even know where we're going here.

I really would not have expected these two getting together but may I should have.  Iran will take whatever help they can get and Leo, well, he's obviously not on the side of Christians.  Has yet to say anything about the massacres going on in Africa.  And like all liberals, he didn't say anything about the Iranian government killing 30,000 Iranians in January.  But boy does he not like Orange Man.

As always, I can't figure out what Trump is doing.  He's trashing Leo online and is spreading that over to some his allies, notably Italy.  I think he's making a point about how they all center around Iran but just saying that makes no sense.  How and why would anybody put themselves into that position?  And why isn't Trump just putting everything out now?  What is he waiting for?

A bit more is coming out about Leo's past.  He was always an ardent leftist.  Must have been some big competition to become pope.  I am a baptized Catholic but I was a baby at the time and didn't have much say in the matter, so it's not like I have any authority here.  But if I did, what I would say is Catholics need to stop going to Sunday mass.  Get together among yourselves and read scripture.  Find others who will do the same and work with them.  The church needs you far more than you need it.

I'd like to think that this is another aspect of Trump's second-term plans.  Ok, fine, but as always, it never goes anywhere as far as we can see.  There's a point where you have to ask what he would do differently if he was actively working for the opposition?  He's helping them clean off some fat, get some practice with the modern world, experience getting organized against the rest of us.  It's not getting tired of winning, it's getting tired waiting for an actual victory that everyone can point to.  And yes, I say that even as I believe there are US forces on the ground in Iran making some big changes we'll hear about in a day or so.  Still doesn't change my larger point.

□ [“Paramount Done with Kurtzman Star Trek - Starfleet Props Auctioned"]

Not remotely a Star Trek fan but I pay some attention to it as another old franchise being destroyed.  The new show was very expensive and totally *woke* so it was immediately cancelled.  They don't need to keep the props in case they'll be needed at some point in the future.  The same thing happened with Disney's Star Wars Acolyte, Paramount even made a point to publicly say this show is cancelled.  That's rarely announced, it's just that the show leaves and is never seen again.

Star Trek wasn't as big as Star Wars but that's like saying Great Britain isn't as big as the USA.  Ok but one led to the other.  Both franchises are having an anniversary, Trek is 60 years old this year, Star Wars is 50 next year.  And this is what they're reduced to, embarrassing failures that even the IP owners can't escape.  They're going to need to blame somebody.  And by that I mean blaming someone other than the fans because they have no fans anymore.

At this point, are there any franchises that are still going strong?  Most of them are owned by Disney but I can't think of anything that's doing well.  They've all fallen to the *woke* agenda and even without that, they're tied down by their decades of rules.  That's what made the franchises last so long but it also means there are limits to what they can do.  Fantasy space adventures without the IP logo would probably be cheaper to make and have a better chance of attracting an audience but no movie studio would dare touch them.

This is what they're paid to waste their time on.  It's guaranteed to failure but the Dems assume they're guaranteed to have a massive win this November.  They've got the media pushing how Trump is nothing but disaster, although it's been a week or two since I've heard how Trump supporters are ditching him.  This really is all they're capable of doing, how the f*ck do they ever get to any position of power with this limitation?

Of course sane people will point out that the left had no problem with Joe Biden being so obviously braindead.  And not just in the way he'd been for decades, he was really old too.  So much of leftist policies always come down to 'it's ok when *we* do it.'  To be fair, it usually works for them and I have no clue how to change that.  That's not even counting all the other aging members of the uniparty.

Maybe they're just trying to fill in time.  They believe they're on the 'left side of history' so they're guaranteed to win.  I wouldn't be worried except that this has worked for them so many times.  And we already see RINOs trying to join it.  There are Republicans pushing a massive amnesty bill for all these illegals.  These are the sort of people who would vote for this impeachment as soon as the wind changes.  Even worse, we're stuck with them, Republicans couldn't pass any bills otherwise.  And looking at what Congress has done this year, they can barely pass any bills anyway.

I knew it, he wouldn't last much longer.  I wasn't convinced he'd be out of Congress too but the House Ethics Committee has already started an investigation.  I'm curious if resigning means that investigation will stop.  There's reasons to think it might but given that being in Congress is at least theoretically important, it might not be a job you can just up-and-quit.  So if the investigation actually happens, they'll need to look into his past, most notably to his Chinese spy girlfriend Fang Fang.  If they get that far, they'll have to look into what other congressmen were connected to China.  I'm thinking specifically of Dianne Feinstein who got very rich somehow before she died, but there are others.

Even without that, the media is still having problems.  Basically all their defenses are coming down to 'they weren't authorized to look into' what was common knowledge about Swalwell.  And Fiona Hill testified to Congress blaming Russia for everything Trump did even though the committee had nothing to do with that investigation but Nancy Pelosi insisted on doing it that way and the media reported it.  Woodward and Bernstein weren't appointed to investigate Nixon but look how that worked out for them.  We already know the media is protecting the politicians on their side, they can at least admit it.

I'm also noting that this is similar to what happened a couple years ago to noted writer Neil Gaiman.  He did a lot of cheating on his wife and suddenly got dumped in a similar way as allegations started coming out.  Everyone around him knew he treated a lot of women badly and suddenly that was it.  What made me think of this was the report that Swalwell made a lot of his women sign NDAs so they can't tell anyone how he treated them.  Gaiman did the same thing, at least with the most noteworthy accuser, the woman who'd get evicted from the home Gaiman owned if she didn't give him sexual favors.  He made her sign an NDA and is now suing her for breaking that NDA.  I suspect this all falls under why adultery is considered a sin but it's not my problem so I don't think about it that much.  But if Swalwell and Gaiman are in the same situation, there's probably a reason for that.

Will they be able to hold out, strong and united, or will they instead be more like the Irish?

I'll make fun of the Irish but only because they deserve it.  I really do want this to be successful.  So far I haven't heard much in the way of news.  About the biggest report I've seen were that hundreds of police officers were calling in sick today.  Ok, that's a start, but what about everyone else?  And will they all show up tomorrow?  For the last year, American leftists have claimed to be going on strike multiple times and no one has even noticed.  I don't want that to happen here.

Reportedly a lot of people did show up to today's protests.  The government is even willing to cut the fuel tax, at least a little bit.  Ireland gets its oil from Norway, not Iran, so the current Middle East problems aren't relevant.  We're also told that the government is fighting itself and may collapse any day.  I'll believe that when I see it and, more importantly, that it means something other than everybody switching seats and pushing the same policies.

The Irish haven't been able to get rid of the English for the last 900 years so there isn't much reason for optimism.  The IRA has provided a lot of inspiration for terrorism and we're at a point where people will support that.  I don't but if I'm not already in the minority, I might be very soon.  And there will still be the same tyrants in charge, bringing them to this point.

I haven't paid much attention to this election because I'm American so I don't care much about that stuf from other countries.  But all the leftists are so thrilled by this.  Orban is such a tyrant that he admitted losing and will leave office.  The left also sees no problem with elections where you have to guess who will be in charge of the winners.  That kinda destroys the point of voting.

I really don't get why but it's clear the EU was pushing this.  They're not going to get much help from the US but they're still desperate for war with Russia and Orban stood in their way so he has to get squashed.  And of course I assume the election was rigged but it's a European election so that's a given but there's no way to know how it works.

I'd like to think the Trump administration has this planned and worked with Orban on this but I've lost hope for that as well.  The worldwide elites are capable of stealing elections so here's another chance.  Hungary is also a Catholic nation so the new leftist pope has been very specifically political.  Mostly attacking Trump but everyone else too.  Trump and Leo XIV are arguing on the internet now, another leftist empire to take down?  Perhaps Orban was the sacrifice made for this?

Trump has been making a few strange religious comments lately.  There's already the Ukraine connection with Hungary opposed to be in the war.  There's all the money flying around, which the EU would be part of.  It's even being looked into how much taxpayer money goes to Catholic archdiocese, more laundering and pushing leftist ideology.  Not sure if there's any connection to all these but something seems to be growing here.  Obama-era officials just met with the Pope last week, is that a coincidence?

I'm guessing it's been fully scheduled and will be completed within 12 hours or however long it takes.  Might keep some ships there to make sure Iran can't do anything else.  I'm sure we've already negotiated this with every other relevant nation, particularly China.  It's not entirely clear what they would be doing other than clearing the strait of bombs.

Well, there is one other option.  This would be a perfect opportunity to send in special forces operatives on the beach.  Trump did say he'd be doing this like Venezuela.  Perfect opportunity to grab the mullahs or any other relevant person.  Or maybe just leave them a note or a dead bodyguard saying 'this could be you.'  Something dramatic to tell them it's over.

Of course the EU is siding with Iran.  They attack EU ships, they blocked the strait first, of course it's all Trump's fault.  But Iran has been funding European Muslims for a long time so the elites are dependent on them as voters and the only ones with a high birth-rate.  I still assume the Iranian regime will fall soon so the EU regime might be the next one to take down.  Soon the US will be shutting down the Mediterranean.

It probably won't be as awesome as it sounds but my initial reaction was 'finally!'  Clean out the strait and let it be used the way it was supposed to be, without Iran making the decisions.  Trump's comment doesn't say anything about Iran itself but this will be similar to what we did in Venezuela but at a higher level.  That would be great, if the mullahs wake up tomorrow on an aircraft carrier headed towards the Atlantic.

But the Navy will keep any ships in the strait from getting to Iran.  This is probably happening because the latest negotiations have failed.  They took place in Pakistan but Iran had demands so that was that.  We're still waiting for something to change, probably getting Iranians to do the work and retake their country.

It's strange how the left and their propaganda media have all automatically declared Iran the winner.  If all you have to do is immediately lose your leaders and military, why doesn't Ukraine do that?  They don't get how an actual war works, much less what this military operation is up to.  And thinking about it, we're only about halfway to the point where Trump actually needs approval from Congress to keep going.  I've been saying we need to see more actual progress but I still suspect that was always part of the plan, 90 days to finish this.

I doubt it will get that far, he'll be pushed out by then.  I'm actually surprised it hasn't happened already.  A two-thirds majority is required to expel a congressman - an R-FL congresswoman has filed a motion to expel - and they might not want to put their vote on record for that.  They're going to be asked how long they knew about this and that's already getting started.

A reporter tweeted that he'd seen this behavior in Swalwell since 2013 when he started politics in the city council.  And he only mentions it now, what a coincidence.  Anybody else he's been protecting from the voters?  He claims he tried to get it released but the women wouldn't speak and Swalwell would sue him.  Sounds like Democrats know how to keep their people in line.  Which would also explain why they've suddenly become all vocal about this.  We saw this several years ago with Harvey Weinstein who gave Hillary Clinton lots of money and had a lot of other rich women give Hillary lots of money but somehow nobody ever talked about Weinstein.

Anyway, Congress is turning against Swalwell, his endorsers and staff are turning against him, he's not going to last long.  Because he's so unimportant, I'd forgotten this but he thought he was important enough to run for POTUS in 2020.  You'd think all the buzz around him would get people talking, especially in the 'believe all women' era, but they stayed silent.  They decided to go with Joe Biden instead and given all the pictures of him with women and children, he obviously knew how to keep people quiet.

Just after I wrote the above, news came out that he has quit the California governor race.  We'll see if he stays in Congress.  His California district has only had three Representatives since 1945, all Democrat, so he's probably safe unless the party really wants a sacrifice right now.  And they might.  Get rid of him before he starts talking about what else he knows.

□ [“Eric Swalwell’s Lawyer Says His Client is Just Too ‘Busy’ to Answer Questions About Allegations"]

This is looking more and more like a show.  Most likely this is aimed at Trump just because it's all they do anymore.  Of course they also need to cut down the candidates in the California race.  We keep hearing that there's so many candidates that the votes will be cut down and Republicans have a serious chance of winning.  That's not the California I know so I doubt this is a major issue, although I'm sure a lot of people believe it.

The Manhattan DA has already started an investigation.  Because Manhattan is so relevant to this situation?  CNN has already had one of the accusers on, more are coming out.  It's like they had all this scheduled to work together.  Perhaps the Manhattan connection is how they intended to aim at Trump.  It's part of the SDNY from which we've heard conspiracies about.

Swalwell released a statement yesterday.  I'm not going to bother listening to it but reports are that he doesn't sound calm, he sounds more desperate.  Even some leftists are pointing out that these women waited years to make the accusations.  I assume he'll be kicked out of the race any time now.  The longer he stays in, the stupider he looks and this is Swalwell we're talking about.

□ [“Trump:  the U.S. Will Clear Out the Strait of Hormuz ‘As a Favor to Countries All Over the World’"]

This isn't a favor, this is taking initiative and getting something done because no one else will do it.  I'm fine with that - US as the world policeman - but Trump needs to carry through with the recognition that we control the strait.  We'll call the shots.  If someone else wanted to do that, they had weeks to take care of this.  Too late now.  What are you gonna do, rely on NATO?

Don't really know or care what peace talks are doing at this point.  It's only been four days since Pakistan got involved and a ceasefire and it's basically been forgotten.  Of course we can't really trust anything we're told about what's going on.  I just saw a rumor that the new Ayatollah hasn't been seen because he was crippled in the attack that killed his father.  Whatever really happened, it wasn't that.  This was the previous ayatollah's son.  If dad is dead, he can only rely on his own political muscle and if he was that badly injured in the hit, he wouldn't even be able to compete for the job.  Now *maybe* he had made it through the primaries and the final vote tally to be ayatollah and was then hit and now he can't just be replaced but that's not the same thing.

We do see Iran and their puppets pushing whatever attacks they can all around the world, that much is true.  And supposedly they're making more demands for the Middle East in whatever the negotiations are doing these days.  We all just seem to be waiting for something these days, that's why it's a good idea that the US clean up the strait and take charge.

□ [“EU is Funding NGOs Once Paid by USAID to Go After Overseas Elections"]

They need to get some elections stolen, it sounds like everyone just assumes they'll steal the upcoming Hungary elections.  But I'm guessing there's a sudden need for money for those NGOs.  If they don't get funded soon, they won't last much longer so that means the EU's finances just have to suffer.  Leeches have rights too.

The rise of nationalism is affecting most EU nations.  There's the way they destroyed production of real energy and with the 'green movement' instead.  Germany is struggling with that and reportedly so is Ireland.  The protests are continuing there, hopefully they'll keep going.

The public doesn't have many advantages over the rulers but one thing they do have is that the rulers really need everyone to believe this is fair and equitable.  If most of the native population is pissed at you, you really have no evidence to support your side.  Really the only option is to send in men-with-guns against the protesters, just like Iran is doing.  But that's not considering how many of these men-with-guns would side with the protesters.

So where they getting the money to fund these NGOs?  Probably from places that will suddenly need a lot money and have a lot of questions about where this went.  They may also have paperwork and listed names to point to who's responsible.  They'll need to stamp out the protests now or that's it.

□ [“Feeble Biden Spotted at Ice Cream Shop in Los Angeles"]

It doesn't happen often but it does seem like Joe Biden is making more public appearances these days.  I'm guessing that he needs to at least vaguely appear capable of doing something.  Even weirder, this is in Los Angeles.  In the last several years, he made very trips outside of the northeast coastline but now he's here?  Apparently he's doing an interview for Jay Leno on whatever his current show is.  I guess that's fairly safe but why would Leno want to do this?

I'm wondering if the real reason is because the Biden family is running out of money.  You or I could probably get by for a long time on their savings but we don't have such expensive lifestyles and no other options to bring in cash.  Hunter can take drugs, he probably can't sell them and there's little else people need where the best response is 'the Biden family will help us!'

It sounds like he's officially gone from the US permanently, admitting it's because he's $17 million in debt.  He's even being sued by his previous lawyers for non-payment which is usually a sign that you're going the wrong way.  I keep making jokes about how he should just use whatever abilities he had which got him such high-paying jobs for Russia and Ukraine but someone really needs to ask him about this.  How has he made it to this age with wealth and family behind him and still has no useful skills other than taking drugs and finding a new baby momma, sometimes even one that's not already in his family?

Joe is doing that sort of tour we see ancient rock stars doing where they really aren't capable of anything but their name is on the ticket.  They just stand there and sometimes pretend to sing, the band does the real work.  Ok but he's not capable of doing very much and it's not going to last much longer.  Biden is definitely in that condition and the people around him can't continue without him.

□ [“Swalwell’s Governor Campaign Implodes After Former Aide Accuses Him of Sexual Assault"]

I don't think this is a deliberate set-up although that's still possible.  He's trying to replace Gavin Newsom and has been around long enough that he probably has the best chance, unless Kamala Harris decides to run.  And maybe she will, they just need to get rid of the better candidates without having to face a primary.

This comes across to me as more of an example of the dam bursting.  These women spent years with Swalwell and totally agreed with him that accusers must believed and all the other *woke* feminist rhetoric he's cited.  But now suddenly they've decided to turn against him.

My guess is that, consciously or otherwise, this is more about the party realizing that it needs to stop being *woke* if it hopes to win voters, especially the white male deplorables.  That means they have to turn on the white male puppets they've installed over the years, at least the easier targets.  Can't kick out Clinton or Biden, they're too old, Swalwell isn't even 50 yet.  There's also a chance that this is China making a decision to cut their loses, given what they know about Swalwell and his ilk.

But this won't solve everything.  The women are coming out with stories from the last six or seven years.  How "bold and strong" can they be if they kept silent about this for so long?  The "Me Too" movement came and went without them speaking up.  It sounds like they were fine with sexual assault when it came from this man and people are only turning on him now because it's convenient.

We'll see what else comes out.  There are records that he used campaign funds to pay his wife for childcare.  Um, isn't that in the job description?  Or is this what the left has decided marriage is.  But does she even self-identify as his wife?  And for that matter, of the accusers, are there any transgendered females among them or is Swalwell transphobic too?  I'm guessing he'll drop out very soon because Democrats really don't want to face these issues.

A few minutes after I wrote the above, it came out that Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff have withdrawn their endorsements and told him to drop out of the race.  I'm sure that will happen within a few days.  Maybe the left will use this to restart the 'believe all women' movement.

□ [“Trump Blasts Iran for ‘Very Poor Job’ and ‘Dishonorable’ Conduct on Strait of Hormuz – 'That Is Not the Agreement We Have!'”]

I think we're losing track of the plot here.  Just a few days ago, the strait was other country's problem to deal with.  I stated that this wasn't the right way to go but now Trump is contradicting himself.  The most positive parallel I can think of is this is like a big brother telling his little brother "stop hitting yourself."  If you want the strait open and secure, take it.  If you trust Iran to do anything, you're the one making the mistake.

How much of this is just killing time until something happens in Iran?  It's coming across that nobody seems to know who's in charge there at this point.  To an extent, that works for resistance but if Iran wants to be considered a real country, they need an official government with leaders.  I'm not sure the new Ayatollah's even been heard from since he took office, much less seen in public.

Iranians are still protesting, or at least Persians.  There's an interesting comment that the Iranian regime isn't actually Persian, they're Arabs who took over.  I don't know how true that is but it does reinforce the idea that the people really want this regime gone and the western left and media are effectively siding with the mullahs just to oppose Trump.  Meanwhile Iran is still popular at the United Nations, assigned to programs on women's rights and anti-terrorism.  Because of course.

I'm not even sure we're bombing Iran anymore because how much left is there?  Writing that, I realized that 'oh yeah, there's another ceasefire thanks to Pakistan.'  I guess that shows how much this has fallen off the radar.  It also shows that the leftist infidel is arguably Iran's best weapon.  I'm not even going to bother how much longer this ceasefire is supposed to last, I'll just wonder if China is still getting their oil and, if not, what will they do about it?

□ [“Baltimore Creates $35 Million Reparations Fund - Everyone Fights Over Control of the Money"]

This was a fund created by taking a few dollars from every sale of legal pot.  But now the money is just sitting there until someone finds a way to help themselves to it.  Baltimore wants it spent on the city since that's where the money came from but the state wants to loot it for their own people.  So there's all sorts of arguments going on.

What exactly does it tell the descendants of slaves when the leftist reparations go nowhere?  It's like you just expect them to stand around waiting for you to get around to giving them some money for...  something.  This seems like more of an argument that government should get out of the way and Democrats in general.  This is just adding a problem for no real reason except ideology.

I will assume, for the sake of argument, that the money is sitting right in the bank-account where it's always been.  But this sort of thing comes off as a scam, that it's already been taken by someone anywhere along the line, a grifter or some other political organization.  Most people should be very suspicious about anything like this.  But the left are the masters so there's nothing that can be done about it.

□ [“Disney Is Giving Up on Mandalorian and Grogu Weeks Before Release?"]

We're only a month or so and they're giving up on merchandise.  The franchise has been all about selling toys since it started so it's a big deal that Disney is dropping that.  They cancelled the tv show so it could be turned into a movie and that is looking like a bad idea.  Don't know how popular the show really was but it certainly did better than the more-recent shows.  The first Star Wars movie in theaters in seven years and this is the best they can do.

How much can they blame Kathleen Kennedy?  She's basically responsible for all of this disaster but it's been over two months since she left so, at least in theory, the people in charge now are responsible.  You can argue against that but then the people in charge now should be openly-admitting how wrong this is.  Anything else is dishonesty and trying to hide responsibility so why are they in charge?

It's only been barely ten years since Disney's first release came out and with this movie, they will tie the number of releases by George Lucas.  That's not counting all the tv shows and everything else they've failed at.  This movie has very little chance of being successful.  It might have more chances if nobody sees a Star Wars logo anywhere.  But if it fails, I think they really need to question Kathleen Kennedy publicly on how she made this happen.  Of course if you're going to do that, you'll need to ask other people who recently left Disney why they let KK get away with it.
