□ [Democratic Underground 'We're Shutting It Down':  Coordinated Economic Blackout Set For Nov. 25 - Dec. 2"]

There are indicators that the left is finally getting close to collapse.  Multiple posters on this leftist site are saying the week-long strike being planned is a bad idea, it won't convince anybody, will hurt the working class who participate, risk losing their jobs, all that sort of thing.  A few other posters, while not agreeing with this, have no real response other than 'what else can we do?'  The protests got more attention than they deserved and still didn't make a difference, why do they expect this to be different?

Nobody points out that they need to involve more than just old white people although that must be one of the underlying arguments.  There's just the assumption that everybody will be part of this and no effort is needed to make it happen.  Someone even points out that this is what losing an election means, the winners get to call the shots and the loser have to accept it.

I did see another indicator.  An unnamed member of Congress [ahem!] says a lot of Democrats want the government shut-down to end.  It's the leadership who isn't going along.  Doesn't that tell us what the party is really about, where those in charge get what they want regardless of what anyone else thinks?

I'm still expecting the insane leftists to win the upcoming elections, the marxist Muslim in NYC and the Virginia child-killer and whoever else the party has out there these days.  Hopefully I'll be proven wrong as I was a year ago and they'll all be kicked to the curb.  But even a few losses would show that the leftists really have no chance of taking control with consent of the citizens.  They can't even function outside of their large cities that Democrats have run for decades and if enough normal people are paying attention to this, they can't even win there.

Day 29 without a federal government.  The world's gone mad!  People are just getting by without a federal government to love us and hug us and call us 'George'!  How can anyone live with these people?  This is why we're supposed to have Democrats teaching in school so people learn what really matters, pronouns, DEI and that 2 + 2 can self-identify as 5.  And stuff about how great the federal government is, except when Trump's in charge, which is why we need it to come back.

Gotta admit, I'm getting desperate, I need a fix.  Really, I'll do anything.  Take all my money, bend me over and use me as a sex toy, just give me another shot of government!  I thought that was why we brought those millions of foreigners with guns in to help us but where are they now when we need them?  You just can't rely on anyone anymore.  Only Mother Government can make everything better.

□ [“Dems Showing Signs They Are Looking for Off Ramp From Schumer Shutdown"]

They really think they can blame other people for things.  Republicans all voted for a budget as the law requires.  They also voted for a short-term spending bill to keep the government open.  Democrats voted against both of those and the Senate requires 60 votes to pass either of these.  So they're clearly saying the government can stay shut down unless they get what they want, showing that a functioning government isn't the priority.  So yeah, they get blamed for it being shut down.

Hadn't noticed but last week they also voted against a bill to pay federal workers and military.  I did hear that one of them had said people just had to suffer because this gave Democrats more political leverage.  I guess that's how you show people you care about them.  They're being hit from the federal unions, big retailers, people who get SNAP funding to buy food.  They can all suffer too.

Republicans knew this, that's why the House didn't even bother to stay in session for the last month.  They'd already done their part.  They probably don't but it would be nice if they have a bills with even bigger spending cuts ready to go if Democrats ever get around to saying they'll vote for it.  That would be a hilarious way to really bring it home to them where Americans want to go.

I'm guessing the party is discussing who will give in on the vote.  These people weren't chosen because they'll stand against the party to support their voters so that's a problem.  And sooner or later they'd have to explain why they held out for so long if they're just going to cave anyway.  What did you get from making your voters suffer?  My advice would be to have Bernie Sanders and a few other big names be the ones to give in on re-opening the government.  They're popular enough to take the hit and it would suggest that maybe the party has finally learned something a year later.  Of course it's entirely possible Schumer will order a few Democrats to support the bill and take the blame.  He's in charge so he can do that.

□ [“Movie About Bruce Springsteen is a Box Office Dud"]

To an extent, I guess I see a reason for these old rich rock stars to want to see biopics about themselves.  It's possible this was even part of the deal Springsteen made to sell his catalogue for however many hundreds of millions he got for it.  I don't know how enjoyable Springsteen ever was in concert but he's way too old to be doing that anymore so this might be considered the next best thing.  I've heard that's what it was for Queen and whatever other acts have done this, basically just cram together their best-known songs and call that a movie.

I guess that's a problem for Bruce though, he was always promoted as being American but has just pissed off the American audience for the last couple decades.  Never remotely been a fan although I have his greatest hits somewhere and possibly one or two other albums and there are at least a couple of his songs I enjoy.  To me he's always looked manufactured, like the record companies in the 70s had realized how to do that for acts that weren't straightforward pop music and Bruce was one they were pushing the most.  He'd become famous no matter how long it took, and it obviously worked.

But he's driven the audience away, as has the rest of whatever used to be rock'n'roll.  To the extent I pay any attention to what's going on in music, it looks like the big names of recent decades just do a couple of albums and that's it.  Nothing people like listening to, just something that's technically a hit and then forgotten.  The other rock stars are all quite old and seem to have either retired or are only on tour because they need the money.

But this movie failure connects with the larger failures going on in Hollywood.  They've gotten rid of creating anything of quality so they could promote the stars over everything else.  Now the stars are failing to keep an audience because nothing they do has any real quality.  But at least they're mostly total leftists so that means something, right?  Well, no.

Well, no.  The executive branch is under very reduced circumstances so they need to let people go.  Maybe if the government opens up again, there will be jobs that need to be filled but until then, that's it.  That's how business has to work in hard times like this.

I've noticed that the activist judges seem to be more open about not even bothering to check the rules, they're just dictating their opinions as orders that everyone must follow.  A few weeks ago I had commented that they seemed to have become less obvious.  I was wrong but it may have been more about a change in tactics.  And strangely enough, the Supreme Court hasn't gotten involved very much yet.  I had definitely expected them to speak out by this point.

For a while, I've suspected leftist government officials have actually formed a shadow government, possibly worldwide, and that is what they really answer to.  I hadn't thought of it but that could certainly include these activist judges.  No idea if they're actually following any real law, even one that's kept secret from the peons, but whatever they're doing certainly lines up with this theory.

This sort of thing should be obvious but of course Congress won't do it.  They didn't subject themselves to Obamacare or Covid vaccines, they certainly aren't going to go without a paycheck just because they force others to do that.  As always, it's another example of how they can't let themselves be treated like others.  IIRC, at one point a Republican tried to put out a bill that would allow citizens to have access to Congressional healthcare, and that was totally voted down.  That's not even getting into how rich they become while in office.

□ [“House Oversight Committee Deems All Biden Autopen Actions Null And Void"]

This is a big step.  I support it but am really not confident that it will go anywhere.  First of all, laws passed by Congress go into effect whether or not the POTUS signs them, or Biden, or Biden's autopen.  Second of all, what are you supposed to do about it?  Just an obvious example, people getting pardons assumed it was real and have gone on with their lives accordingly.  You can't just send somebody back to jail a couple years later.  Leave aside the nature of the pardons and who was getting them, you want the enemy to make use of this tactic?

Third, there's no reason anybody has to believe it or comply.  Simple as that.  They want to pretend Biden had some authority somewhere after leaving office in 2017 and it's irrelevant what the House Oversight Committee points out.  There's certainly no chance of getting the rest of Congress to agree with this, no matter how true it is.

So what's the point?  With all the other tyrannies and treason imposed on the American people over the last several years, someone putting Joe Biden's name on a document is a ways down the list of things to do something about.  You're still not sending anybody to jail for any of that, or even calling out any big names.  A Biden aide just testified to House Oversight that he was paid $4 million to work on the 2024 campaign and promised another $4 million if Biden won, so he would have to keep Biden's senility hidden.  That's a start but it's not like this guy is going to be punished, and who put him in that position?

People are already responding with video clips of Hillary, Harris, their veep choices and others doing just that.  Nearly a year after the election, the left is just doubling down on denying reality.  Who are they trying to convince?  Maybe she's just trying to get people to vote for the Democrat with nazi tattoos.

They're also proving the recent reports that the party is getting less popular with everybody except white liberals.  Funny how that works.  The whole concept of appealing to more people is completely foreign to them, but not even the kind of foreign they support.  It's like whatever way they can make their own problems worse, that's what they're going for.

It's taken as a given that the muslim communist will win the NYC mayor's race, fairly or otherwise.  So Republicans are getting ready to use that across the country, that *this* is what the Democrat party stands for.  And they're right about that.  One thing the election did was confirm that we really are the majority and the left isn't but they delude themselves into thinking they are, as we see MSNBC doing.

□ [“New Book Claims Obama Exploded After Pelosi Rushed to Endorse Harris"]

The book comes from someone at Disney/ABC so it must be true.  It's interesting that they're all suddenly putting out books.  Not sure how many of them actually qualify as "tell-alls" since Kamala Harris and Karine Jean-Pierre aren't reported to have really said anything in theirs.  I'm also wondering if Harris got to be first, that was part of the $20 million deal made with the publisher.

According to this book, Obama and Nancy agreed that Harris wouldn't just be installed, there would be other challengers.  There's a couple problems with that.  First of all, the primaries were over, how would you set that up in a way that the rest of the party could go along with?  Sad as it is to say, Harris was the most likely candidate at that point, the only one who would have access to the money given to the Biden campaign and had more national approval than most-if-not-all the other potential candidates.  Most likely she would have lost if she had to compete against others and that would leave the 2024 candidate in an even worse position, but that's the party's fault.

Second, my impression is that Nancy was the one calling-the-shots more than anyone else at this point.  If Biden actually had any influence - and hard as it is to believe, apparently he did - this looks to me like it was his final 'victory.'  They were going to dump him, he had no way to stop that three weeks after the debate disaster.  But what he could do was make a deal with Nancy that he'd give up and in exchange, Harris would take his place.  He's setting them up for failure and there's nothing they can do about it.

Obama is the real loser here.  He always votes 'present' and even at his best, was never very good at promoting other people.  And he's far from being at his best anymore.  Nancy actually has experience making deals.  In the three weeks before Biden dropped out, I got the impression she was the one making that last call, about two weeks in.  Obama just stayed quiet and finally got around to endorsing a week or two after the fact.  So there may be some truth to this new book but it doesn't remotely sound like the complete story.

□ [“Largest federal workers union calls for an end to the shutdown"]

This link is to NBC, which may not be trustworthy and I got it from a leftist site which is also not trustworthy but they were generally accepting that this is nearing an end.  They didn't really have an explanation, but neither does NBC.  There were several comments specifically dismissing the unions, membership and leaders, showing how quickly Democrats turn against anyone who doesn't comply with them on everything.  There's a reason even FDR knew that government workers should not be allowed to unionize.

I didn't expect much better from these federal workers.  Most of them aren't hired for strength and resiliency.  I would like it to be made clear by a vote or something if this is an official statement of the membership or just their leaders who get paid a lot more and don't have to work very hard.  At a guess, I would say it's both but the whole point is that we have no way to know if they're *really* united, by choice or by force.

And by the way, I am *not* in favor of paying these hundreds of thousands of people who didn't bother to go to work for the last few weeks.  Those who did have to work without pay should get paid, I'm fine with that.  There may be some legal reason why these lay-abouts will get paid despite not doing any work for their unnecessary jobs, I wouldn't fight too hard against it, but it comes to a vote, I don't want them getting paid by the taxpayer.

Here's an interesting question, how will the workplace be different when (if) these people come back?  The higher ranks might have still had to show up, and they might have had time to improve workplace policies.  There could be a lot of changes that the chief executive is only allowed to make during shutdowns and it won't promote the DEI agenda.

For a skin color that's so oppressed, these people sure make a lot of stupid demands based on skin color.  And it goes a long way to making them dislikable.  If the people with this skin color aren't all the same, why do none of them ever speak out and sound different?  For instance, like saying “valuing the well-being of African American students over the others" is racist and wrong.  That would show diversity of thought.

The new term is "black fatigue."  Basically all the other skin colors are tired of putting up with blacks who behave like this.  This principal has been fired - she's female, of course - but the replacements will be just the same.  Just seeing and listening to these people as individuals and thinking 'that's a bad idea, you'll cause problems for yourself.'  If you tell them that, you're racist and if you don't, you see them cause problems for themselves and blame racism for everything.

Yes there are exceptions but it just gets tiresome to try figuring out if this individual is an exception.  The fact that it's so uniform among one race explains a lot about the last couple centuries.  The easiest and nicest thing to do for everyone is just to shrug and say 'fix your own problems.'  We see men doing that with women and now we'll see whites, hispanics and asians doing that with blacks.

And if anybody thinks about it, it'll look even worse.  Why is Trump the only one doing anything to stop these wars?  Why aren't liberals trying to give peace a chance?  They just go on about wanting war with Russia who hasn't even attacked us or our allies.  I don't know how much the Nobel really means to anyone anymore but they're pushing themselves into irrelevance.  Sure, you could argue that since they gave one to Obama at the beginning of his first term, but you get the point.

No evidence, but I've been wondering if Trump actually wants one?  It's the same thing with his recent talk about running for a third term, I just don't believe he wants that, so it's a set-up in some way.  So could that be what the Nobel is about?  He just keeps causing peace and they keep going out of their way to ignore him and make things worse for themselves.  Just a theory.

A week or so ago, the Democrats did say they'd hold out until planes were falling from the sky.  Well here they are, right on schedule.  It's almost like they had this planned as an excuse for this.  Yet somehow the airlines, the airports, the city and the state of California are completely helpless, it's all about Trump.  Orange Man refuses to bribe Democrats to vote for Muslim transgender abortions in Guatemala so the airports just have to suffer.

I was too young to know about the traffic controllers being fired by Reagan.  I would think this is a job that qualifies as "necessary" but either way, it does seem like the sort of thing you'd expect the airlines, airports, city, state, federal government and the unions involved to have back-up plans for.  If the planes can have autopilots, you'd think A.I. would be a workable back-up plan for overseeing airtraffic.

Newsom will probably use this to push his presidential campaign.  Doesn't sound like he's done much of anything as governor, what with the fires, the failure to build high-speed rail, the economic failures and that he can't even follow his own orders, going off to party while ordering Californians to stay home during covid.  He expects to just keep failing upwards, following Aunt Nancy's example.

Day 26 of life without a federal government.  The days just keep passing by and nobody tells us what to do.  What are we paying them for?  Probably so Trump can keep all our money.  That's why we hate money and hate the government for producing all of it.  We should just get rid of all of it.  And money too.  You know, I'm getting really tired of these obvious contradictions when I try to promote our major goals.

At least everybody but me is stupid enough to fall for this.  I'll just give them orders and they'll all vote for the new budget and fund everything I like.  But Trump never obeys me so we'll need to get rid of him.  After that, life will be perfect for everybody and we won't need a federal government to give us everything and I'll be in charge.  It all sounds so easy.

And you haven't bothered to mention this since he took office in 2017?  You could have just kept quiet about this and he'd leave office with no one the wiser.  These people are coming across as just getting weary of trying to maintain these delusions.  Of course the female host responds "Your brain and my brain have gone to the exact same place.”  She doesn't realize that she's releasing their uniformity of thought.  And no one's going to ask they why Trump doesn't want to kill them.

The fact that they're still doing this is both a plus and a minus.  They're getting weaker and less sane, collectively they seem to be regressing to mindless rhetoric.  Since they have no influence or pull on anyone, they need to group together on the media just to pretend they're relevant.  But on the other hand, this shows that they're getting more determined to do something bold, stupid and destructive.

But it's interesting that they have no moral or intellectual center, something definite to base themselves on.  There's pushing the *woke* agenda which is the closest they get to coherent goals, but look at how those have changed in just the last decade, never mind previous decades.  Otherwise all they can say is they oppose Trump.  If there's any rational Democrats, this is just pushing them away and the party is already a minority.  So they're left with these people who support killing your children and getting nazi tattoos but Trump is hitler.  I don't know what the end-point is but as finite mortals, there will be a point where they can't go any further.

I hadn't even known they did this, I saw the headline and thought it was a repeat of articles from a couple years ago, or Occupy Wall Street for that matter.  But no, they have been there for several months.  I'm curious who finally decided to get rid of them since it's Portland, it's not like the city government would do this.  Maybe they were finally threatened with a lack of federal funding.

But Antifa is getting ready to attack.  It's been noticed that there's recently been large purchases of ski masks, gas masks and goggles.  Not ridiculously expensive but thousands of purchases in a week or month does stand out.  Someone is funding this, I'd blame Soros although there are obviously other leftist billionaires and multi-millionaires.

The fact that this is all happening suddenly indicates that it's an organized force.  It's not just a bunch of random people suddenly deciding to buy this stuff.  As always, I assume there is some other plan because this just won't be very effective.  It would help resist the police but not by much, nor would it help fighting back, much less escaping.  Even if the masks get you through a gas attack to get to your car and drive away, you don't think drones will be following you?

This obsession with the new White House construction is almost-scary.  It's easy to find examples of other redesigns on the White House which Democrats didn't complain about.  The people so focused on this never seem to mention that the original building wasn't even part of the White House, it was separate.  They also don't mention any problems that building had for large events, plumbing and such.  It's like they never actually paid attention to it, they're just anti-Trump no matter what.

So every minute they spend on this is a minute they cannot spend on something that's actually important.  There's only 24 hours a day and you're all mortals, if Trump is such a tyrant then why are you wasting time on this?  It makes one wonder if they're really serious or if they just know how easy it is to manipulate their supporters.  There's the economy and the wars and Trump wants to kill everyone so now we're going to talk about the White House rebuilding?

And this is expected to go on for the next three years?  That's a dangerous level of obsession, yet he tweets “Don’t even think of seeking the Democratic nomination for president unless you pledge to take a wrecking ball to the Trump Ballroom on Day One.”  What's worse, that he's giving orders to *everyone* who would think of entering the primary on what to think or that they'd obviously just lie about it to appease him?  I'm not even sure Swalwell will remember this in three years.

Day 25 without a federal government.  I've been lost and lonely since last week's protests against the government, just drifting through the days counting the number of genders represented in Leo Tolstoy film adaptations.  But now, for the first time in ages, there's a sign of hope.  They're planning new protests next month!  Now I finally have a reason to live.  The only thing that matters in life is demanding the government come back so we can protest against it.

But what are we supposed to do until then?  If we had jobs, that would be something to pass time, but then we'll just have to go on strike.  If we had money, we could buy stuff but we're just living off of what [REDACTED] gives us to protest.  They've started checking IDs for people who go to our orgies so we don't have those any more.  It's like we're already on strike and now we just have to wait.  We should protest whoever made us do that.

He even admits that he's being hysterical but this is just babbling.  Why does anybody want him on their show?  I don't know if it's official but he seems to have been a public spokesman for the Clintons since Bill's first term so that may be what he's sent out for.  Bill and Hillary are defying Congress requiring them to testify, they don't have a leg to stand on and Carville has to convince people to defend them.

A few days ago, he fantasized about putting Trump and "collaborators" in prison outfits and marching them down the street to be abused by the public.  This is the best publicity Trump can get, no wonder Carville isn't being shut down by the so-called tyrant.  He's allowed to go out and say this stuff in public, that's not how tyranny works.

And now that I think about it, I suspect Carville really is the Clinton's public face so this is what they're going through in private.  And by extension, everybody who's sided with them in the last few decades.  Jen Psaki worked for Obama and Biden so she's in that inner circle and, to the extent her MSNBC show has any viewers, so is the audience.  It's not that they're trying to convince anybody, they're just passing along the messages to whoever is left on their side.

The charges could be serious, if anything is ever actually done with them.  They're bigger than the left has used against Trump and a lot of those being charged might turn in others to save themselves.  But one major problem is that it does come across as vengeance, no matter how much evidence there is.  For all my complaining, I am still trying to be optimistic about the Trump administration and I will admit that they have to get through a lot of details to be able to go after these people.

So it's 50-50 if this helps or hurts.  In addition to the legal roadblocks, there' s the executive branch.  Trump can't just order something to happen and then it does.  I really don't get what exactly is stopping this but I am fully aware that it's just the nature of running an organization.  The negative part is that just demanding prosecution isn't a good look.  It's bad if they do rush to obey the order and it's worse if they don't.

But we still need solid progress.  The accomplishments we've seen from Trump 2.0 are impressive but they can all be erased.  Remember when he said all the info on Epstein would be released?  Boy was that a different world.  But even there, I notice the left has, after all these years, suddenly become fixated on it as an excuse to attack Trump, and I'm wondering how that looks to the Clintons, knowing that they could be attacked a lot more by their own supporters.

Furthermore, they have to deal with the fact that the enemy is all throughout the government and elites.  AG Bondi has told Nancy Pelosi to "preserve her emails" after saying that ICE agents should be arrested.  Can't just arrest her for treason but they are very close to having that ready to go precisely because congressmen shouldn't be saying such things, especially rich old white women like Nancy.  This is a very delicate path to get through and all our complaints won't change that.

I think Chuck Schumer's the only big-name Democrat who hasn't endorsed this Muslim who self-identifies as a Communist.  Democrats always tend to win elections after losing a Presidential election, they've done everything to rig this one, no reason to assume they'll lose other than sanity.  I always assume Islam is dominant in his mind but talking to the infidel is the same as talking like a leftist, you can say whatever you want.  He claims he never wanted to "defund the police" despite video of him saying exactly that just a few years ago.  And the left goes along with it.

But they really are doubling down on insane leftism with these upcoming elections.  In addition to this guy, there's the psychopath in Virginia who hopes to murder the children of people he disagrees with because you have to cause physical pain to make people change their policies.  And there's a candidate for Maine Senate with a literal nazi tattoo, which of course Democrats support.  Someone holds a hand up and they're making a literal nazi salute, but getting one permanently on your body is no big deal.  Even Bernie Sanders stands up for that guy.

In addition to this insane leftism which would have no chance of success in a rational world, they're also using so-called independents.  A Senate candidate in Nebraska claims to be independent but is funded by Democrats from across the country.  I think that's one of the sources of the Uniparty, where the left has gotten people to self-identify as right-wing or whatever, knowing that they'll always come in for the left when it really matters.

I can't really think of any equivalent for Republicans.  There are some who don't care about abortion or gays, a lot more have to go along with whatever the current *woke* agenda is just to get through the day.  There's reason to worry that they might side with the enemy but Republicans are also aware that everybody thinks differently.  Can't figure out how, but this isn't the way Democrats handle diversity of thought.  Yet somehow they're able to get the independents and RINOs and successfully steal elections, or even when them for real, when there's no way they should be able to get away with that.

This came out yesterday.  For some reason, Ontario had spent $75 million on an ad about Ronald Reagan's stance on tariffs and...  Exquize me?  Baking powder?  How the F***!!! do you spend $75 million on an ad for anything?  The ad is just a minute of generic footage with a voiceover from a Reagan speech in 1987, not Beyoncé and Taylor Swift in a six-hour porn movie.  Where did that $75 million go?

Anyway, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation threatened to sue.  I'm guessing they have the rights to Reagan's image and they hadn't given permission to a foreign country to make this ad.  According to Trump, this was an attempt by the foreign country to interfere with the upcoming Supreme Court decision on tariffs, so he cut off the negotiations.  Canadian PM Mark Carney said he was trying to build trade deals with Asia.

This came out today.  You would have thought they'd learn a lesson months ago when they tried to fight Trump's tariffs and quickly gave up.  But apparently not.  You've had decades to get China's permission to make deals in Asia but instead they spend a ton of money on a pointless ad.  This is Canada, if you want to be important to anybody but your neighbors, this isn't the way to do it.

This does suggest that the globalist left is weakening if this is their best idea.  I doubt the Supreme Court is paying much attention to Ontario tv ads.  I'm not even sure Canadians do and if they have anything in common with the rest of the western world, they'd be asking their insane government why they're doing this.  Who is this supposed to convince?

Fat old lesbian isn't in charge of anything but I wouldn't be surprised if she has connections to those who are.  Since the last batch of protests have already been forgotten, these people need to start trying to get people interested in the next ones, a strike running from November 25 to December 2.  No work, no spending, no projects, no events and she lists "no restaurants" twice because she's fat.

First of all, that's not really something poor people can take part in because they need to go to work and buy food.  And gas to get to work.  If the economy is doing as badly as liberals insist that it is, they already need help so this is only relevant to O'Donnell's rich old leftist friends.  Are they going to want the maids, cooks, gardeners and maintenance to ditch their mansions for a week?

Second of all, you tried that last year.  Everybody who voted Harris was supposed to ditch their families for Thanksgiving.  Didn't hear a thing about it so either it never happened or it did and nobody cared.  One thing I've noticed about leftists is that they always seem to think they're the ones giving the orders.  O'Donnell tells us to do this so we must obey!  That's not going to work either.

Third, what are you going to do with this turns out to be as meaningless as the "No Kings" protests?  Old white people stay at home doing nothing, that's supposed to mean anything to anybody?  It'll probably hurt businesses that depend on old people to be customers but who else?  You're not doing anything to appeal to any other group which is usually needed to convince society to go your way.  It's sort of like elections, y'know?

□ [“Democrats Hyperventilating Over Trump’s East Wing Renovation"]

This seems to be the latest pointless distraction.  Trump had the East Wing of the White House torn down to be replaced by a ballroom.  I think Trump has said something about it being too small for large gatherings and I think someone said that this part of the East Wing isn't even connected to the actual White House that we know.  But leftists are somehow horrified, Chelsea Clinton is whining about all the silverware her family stole, stuff like that.

I can see an argument to keep the building the way it was but I don't have much interest either way.  If anything, I'm curious if Trump had much to do with the decision.  A federal construction project, especially for this place, sounds like something that would have been in the planning stages before his first term.  And, being Trump, he convince people to make donations for this so the taxpayer doesn't lose any money for it.

The reason it's probably getting so much publicity is because the left and their media are trying to pretend they care about the US.  Obama did massive renovation at taxpayer-expense and they didn't object to that.  What's changed?  The whole building was destroyed in a war at one point, this is not remotely as important, but the left can just go on pretending they're at war.

When I saw the headline, I thought she had been caught walking around in the middle of the night or driving recklessly, although that might mean a little more than "early stages."  Turns out she was scammed by people claiming to be HVAC maintenance who came into her house, got access to her credit cards and got some money out of it.

As the boomers get decrepit, I'm wondering how much more of this is going to happen before we do something.  I'm also thinking of Gene Hackman and his wife who lived in the middle of nowhere, people rarely had any contact with them, so they'd been dead for weeks before anybody knew about it.  Of course it will make a difference when it's people in our own lives, but they were rich and famous, this lady was in Congress, don't they have anybody around who notices these things?  At least Joe Biden had people who knew, even if they were just using him to grab whatever they could.

This lady is 88 and has been there since I was in high school.  There needs to be a limit to what these people can do in Congress, or anywhere else.  I give Trump a pass on this but he's still really old too.  Nancy Pelosi and Bernie Sanders are even worse and those are just the people who immediately come to mind.  Look up oldest members of Congress and it's appalling.  You'd think a biparty bill in Congress with age limits would get a lot of appeal, from the public if not from other congressmen, but the problem is that even the younger ones are aspiring to get that old and still be in power.

Day 23 without a federal government.  It's like we've all gone back centuries into the past before a federal government was invented.  People must have sat around crying all day like we do, with every moment of life without a federal government being abject misery.  We might kill time on youtube or with internet porn like our ancestors did but there comes a time when we all have to stand up and say "I'm going to invent a federal government and you can't stop me."  Maybe if we say it loud enough, something interesting will happen for a change.

If we can ever start a real federal government, we need to make sure to ban Trump and his supporters.  And all the judges who've been ruling against us.  And all the members of Congress who've been voting against us.  You just can't have a federal government with all those people who are different from you so we need to get rid of them permanently.  Only then will we have a federal government by the people and for the people.

It's rumored that Chuck Schumer has asked for a back-room deal, the sort Congress is known for.  Republicans are officially not going along with that, hopefully that's true.  Re-open the government and they'll negotiate like it's their job, instead of just putting a few people together to use all their blackmail on each other.  I haven't seen any indication that Republicans are ready to crack, even the RINOs need to at least appear to be on the winning side.

Even on the leftist sites, I hardly see any references to the protests last weekend.  At most there's talk about future protests but those will need to be scheduled.  What are they going to offer next time that they couldn't do this time or any of the previous protests?  Congressional Democrats must have more tools to use but for some reason, none of those seem to be available either.

□ [“Bernie Sanders Admits Trump is Doing a Better Job Than Biden Did on Border Security"]

They're trying to figure out how to change their messaging.  Not sure why or how since Democrats keep this hidden, but their main spokesman is out there pointing out that “If you don’t have any borders, then you don’t have a nation.”  They need to pretend that they support that despite all the evidence of their opposition for the last decade+.  They need to admit that Trump isn't entirely an incompetent idiot, that he's actually had at least one win and they have to admit it.

As they look for ways to end the shutdown, Bernie pointing out that protecting the border is relevant, and the pretense to being patriotic, it's obvious the party has finally started making a massive shift in perspective.  But the problem is they're still unequivocally leftist, so we'll realize that they're just lying to gain power.  The only ones who won't notice this are the party members who just go whatever direction they're told, even if it contradicts what they were told yesterday.  This is why they can't build anything.  By the end of the year, they may be saying abortion should be 'legal and rare' like they used to.

Not a clear picture of what's going on but Trump is clearly pushing enemy nations in a given direction.  To an extent, it doesn't look like they're totally opposed to it either.  It's almost like they realize they're better off if the US keeps everything functioning like normal, even though I'm sure they'll continue to work against us.  But a lot of this is hidden, you could make a convincing argument that we're winning, or they're winning, or one side is faking a win but being undermined by the other.

I do get the impression that Russia and China are willing to dump Venezuela, similar to how no one has heard much from Iran in the last several months.  It's not that they'll leave BRICS, it's that these dictatorships are a problem for everyone and to his credit, Trump is doing something about them.  Unfortunately this is one aspect where you could argue that they're manipulating Trump to do the actual work and they'll take the benefits.  Central and South America are still a big problem, but at least they're *our* problem, not China's.

Not sure what to say but this does look like a snapshot that progress is being made.  I also get the impression Maduro is facing a lot of problems.  It's almost irrelevant whether they're of his own making, or how Trump is surrounding the country with the navy, or if he's funding the resistance chick who just won a Nobel.  Trump has been taking down boats from drug dealers and probably trying to cut-off their land without having to have a war.  As you might expect, the left is basically ignoring all of this.  Because they know best.

Apparently they have been able to pay off $1.6 million.  If there's interest on these debts - the way normal people would owe interest - then they're basically paying that off.  That's something but it's still not that good.  I assume they took over the debt to make sure outsiders couldn't get involved.  That and to keep their hands on Harris - I don't mean it like *that* - so she'll continue to obey.

By now they have enough experience with her that I really can't imagine they'll let her come back as a candidate.  It's not like she can claim that *this time* she'll actually know what she's doing and won't just throw money at celebrities.  But she probably still thinks she can try again, so they need to be able to tell her 'no.'  It's implied that there was no contract to make the DNC responsible for the debt so if she disobeys, they can just say it's all on her, the way it should be.

But they still don't know what to do about future elections.  She's still one of the most popular and, if you believe the propaganda, even had experience as Vice-President.  A lot of Democrat voters take her seriously so how does the party get around these people?  She'd have to actually face a primary and that'll just be a disaster, making even the party faithful asking 'why did you lie about her the last two times?'  They need to solve this problem soon or it'll just get worse.

Ninth Circuit — Trump Can Federalize California National Guard to Enforce Federal Immigration Law
October 23, 2025

It's surprising that they've been allowed to get away with this for months anyway.  It's not like anybody points to actual laws they're breaking, unlike the illegal immigrants they're arresting.  There's stupid leftists whining about ICE wearing masks but given all the rhetoric of eagerly wanting to track them down, attack their homes, children, etc. there's a valid reason.  Besides, the left is fine with antifa wearing masks, or forcing everyone to pretend it stops viruses.

I'm pretty sure the Trump administration has done everything they can to clear this with the judges, at least those who aren't activists.  Still don't know how much they can actually do in advance but they checked this out.  POTUS has authority, laws being broken, states and cities refuse to do anything, probably a little more complicated but that's about it.  It's not like leftists have any serious forces to stop the feds from coming in.

And notice that we haven't heard anything about Washington DC for quite a while now.  Democrats right there, even a lot of blacks, where's the oppression?  Not tracking which other cities ICE has moved into and which ones are just being threatened, but the same thing.  They're stopping crime and American citizens can see the benefits immediately.  Another place where Democrats have to face their own supporters, do you really want them to be attacked by the gangs you've supported all this time or are you willing to admit that Trump did something right and is quite successful?

Day 21 without a federal government.  Me and my friends are so thrilled that we don't have a government because that way we never have to think about Trump or listen to anything he says.  But wait, so what are we complaining about then?  Trump has the government so we want it shut down and it's bad to shut the government down so keep the government shut down until you give into our demands to... reopen the government.  Am I still getting paid for this?

This is an interesting view, that the party-in-general is willing to re-open the government but the activists would execute them for this.  These people bring guillotines to rallies and are very happy to hear people they don't like have been shot, so "execute them" is literal.  Ok, so how do you explain that to the rest of the party?  Doesn't sound good.

Another problem they're facing is how many in the party can actually think and aren't activists?  That is, the activists are trying to tear everything down, they are active leftists.  Everybody around them is just doing what they're told, copying what they see, or just sitting there and wasting space.  Who else is there in the party that can actually do something and isn't getting noticed?  What would it take to get them involved?

Last weekend's protests were supposed to keep the party united but it sounds like they did the opposite.  Siding with naked bicyclists to justify keeping the government shut-down isn't going to appeal to very many people but it will please those who want anyone they don't like to be killed.  They are having to go more public about this and it's just going to repulse even more people.  It's like they thought the protests would lead to things going their way and are surprised to find it's going the other way.

It just came out that the price of gas is lower than it's been since Trump's first term.  That's the sort of thing that makes a big deal to people, especially since it makes transport for everything else cheaper.  That's an actual benefit people can see, the Democrat base has nothing so blatantly clear.  And there's more of that if you look, that's what the right brings to the table. The left is trying to hide that they're not bringing, only taking.

Maybe that's the real meaning of life.  If we're good people, we'll die and there will always be a federal government for us to love.  But if we're bad, we'll go to a place where there is no federal government and everybody suffers.  But wait, if there's no federal government down there, who runs the place?  Ok, this is getting kinda spooky.  I'd be almost tempted to go to a church if they weren't all shut down as part of the federal government.  Why are you looking at me like that?

The Obama administration established ICE, Trump as able to make use of it.  House Democrats will establish the way for citizens to track government employees to their homes, you think Trump might find a way to make use of that?  Never establish any government policy you wouldn't want your enemies to be able to use, what part of that don't you get?

And this is what these people do when they get paid but don't have a federal government to work at.  I'm starting to get the impression ICE was deliberately chosen to be the target of the left.  They never cite any laws ICE actually breaks, or any justification for hating it, they're just leftists and that's what they do.  Notice that no one's asking Obama or Biden why they kept ICE around, or even Trump in his first term.  ICE just magically showed up evil nine months ago.

This is the government establishing a tool to attack government employees, you don't think China and Russia can find a way to make use of that?  The more I think about this, the more pointless it appears.  These people could be doing more to help the needy at a homeless shelter but that wouldn't be about fighting the government so nevermind.  Meanwhile ICE is actually going after sex predators, at least those that aren't protected by Congress.  Yet.

I had assumed the European/British protests had died down but since the elites are siding with the invaders, the citizens will continue being attacked and the protests will restart.  Might as well just keep them going permanently until you're finally able to get rid of your rulers.  Doesn't Ireland have any experience with that?  Well, get some, because things aren't going to change otherwise.

I really hope the Trump administration has contacts with the British protestors and can supply them with what they need, and not only guns.  I'm glad to hear about the protests but I'm quite worried that Britain and Europe-in-general are all past-tense.  We need some actual proof that anything worth fighting for remains, the spirit that defeated the same invaders in Spain and Gaul in the west and Vienna in the east.  Otherwise this is what Europeans are left to.

I'm not sure which would be worse, if the EU leaders are secretly Muslims and have been planning this all along to replace their people, or if they're just standard leftists and can be manipulated by Muslims to make this happen.  I do think we're at a point where people will just say 'I've had enough of that,' whether they're talking about a skin color, a religion or just being leftist.  Or any of the several dozen genders, people will just not care what happens to these people anymore.

You've got to cause physical harm to people to change their policies.  Democrats are totally fine with that.  They don't really need the shutdowns, any excuse to cause suffering is fine with them.  I am noticing that, for all the rhetoric and details about the ridiculous spending all across the board, the party seems to be primarily focused on Obamacare.  Strange how it was supposed to fix the healthcare system that Democrats have complained about for the last fifteen years since Obamacare got started.

There's the funding health care for illegals, that's probably the main long-term goal.  Not really clear how that's done but the whole point is to be so ridiculously-complicated that no one can really understand what's going on.  But IIRC, the immediate problem is that subsidies are supposed to end in November.  Without subsidies, prices will skyrocket on the medical insurance that everybody is still required to purchase.  The short-term bill which Republicans have voted for would provide some relief but that's why Democrats refuse to go along, they want a permanent change without having to have a majority vote.

It also sounds like other welfare checks will stop next month if the government stays shut.  Sounds like the point is to get these people to start rioting.  There's no way that couldn't be the intended goal, probably supposed to line up with last weekend's old white people protests.  More stores will be looted but otherwise this seems equally pointless.  Will there be a third step of riots or will two be enough to win everything?  And what use will China and its allies make of this?

So when are we going to burn everything down?  Blacks aren't getting free money anymore so we should probably start in their neighborhoods but if that doesn't bring the federal government back, we'll find other neighborhoods to burn down.  Amazing how we got to this point in less than three weeks.  It's almost like this was planned by our rich leaders in guarded mansions.  That's why they're in charge so the government can never take anything away from us.  At least not after we burn everything down.

Appeals Court Smacks Down Judge Immergut, Allows Trump to Deploy National Guard Troops to Portland

Since it's been a while, I decided to look into how Disney movies are doing this year.  Yikes!  As far as I can tell, Lilo and Stitch is the only actual hit they've had all year, aimed at kids and as far as I know, nothing *woke* about it.  Fantastic Four comes in a distant second.  Then there was Falcon America and Thunderbolts.  These movies were all expensive failures.  Fifth place was a Lion King spin-off that was released last December.  Most of its money was made last year and it's still one of the more successful movies in 2025.

A distant sixth place was a sequel to a 20-something year-old movie back when Lindsey Lohan was an up-and-coming thing, telling you how relevant that was.  Reportedly that movie was fairly cheap to make and it still bombed. Then the Snow White remake which was not remotely cheap to make.  Then two animated movies, one of which came out last November.  Then there's the latest Tron failure which is still in theaters.  Why are they trying to turn that into a franchise, has there *ever* been a successful release?

Three hit movies out of ten releases and two of them came from last year.  Another year has passed without a Star Wars release so we don't get to see how well that does in theaters.  That's probably why they haven't put anything out because they don't want to show the world how nobody's interested in this expensive franchise anymore.  But Kathleen Kennedy needs to justify her paycheck somehow so we're supposed to be getting at least one next year.  We'll see if it can do better than the Han Solo movie we waited decades for.  And then there's Marvel.

Combined, the three Marvel movies this year didn't do as well as Avengers in 2012.  That's not counting inflation and these movies were much more expensive to make.  They did do slightly better domestically - $665 million to $623 million - but that's about it.  You can add Ant-Man 3 and The Marvels and it's about the same compared to 2019's Endgame, $964 million to $858 million domestically, $2.001 billion to $2.799 billion worldwide.  Marvel has had a few genuine hits in the last few years and I've left those out for convenience, but the decline is big.  Deadpool and Guardians 3 don't make up for these losses.

This is fascinating and I don't think I'm alone in finding the self-destruction far more entertaining than any of the movies might be.  It's like Disney's corporate policy is to *NOT* appeal to the audience.  What else could explain this?  Why do investors let this continue?

□ [“Military Personnel on Social Media Call for Soldiers to Disobey Orders – Violation of UCMJ"]

Some of these may be A.I. - and I assume the military has much more advanced A.I. abilities than we have - but for convenience, I'll assume they're all real.  We know the left has been trying to infiltrate the armed forces for quite a while, especially by lowering the standards, so they need to make a move.  It's quite possible they're on Hegseth's list of people to get rid of, or believe they're on that list, so they may not have much to lose.

This is part of the next step to resist after this weekend's protests.  As a bonus, it's supposed to weaken the military anyway, although getting rid of the *woke* won't have as much of an impact as they expect.  It's not clear how far this will go, just because it's not what the military is for.  The left is also trying to hit the black community who are much more dependent on government money.  Those welfare checks are expected to stop coming in soon, so now at least the black females can threaten to loot and burn the stores down.

Of course they have no clue how the stores got there in the first place, so that would be wiping out their on communities.  Also they'll require men to do the actual work.  Men of all races are obviously moving in Trump's direction so it's not like they'll have the best available to handle this.  I'm sure the media is already planning how to promote them burning down their own neighborhoods as Trump's fault.  Perhaps that was even a topic of discussion for the white protests this weekend.

Not sure how it'll work out but I suspect this is where the Trump administration has made preparations.  They'll take some damage but I don't think those of us on their side will run away.  Events like this are why the founders knew we had to protect the right to bear arms.  The government is not here to protect you, it's all about protecting itself against us and they'll use any expendable forces available.

□ [“Numerous Major Websites Knocked Offline by Cloud Computing Outage"]

Does this qualify as an attack or is it more like sabotage?  If the former, I'd blame China, if the latter, I'd blame leftists, but there are plenty of other possible suspects for either.  In theory it might even be a total accident but this is 2025 so we're not really going to consider that an option.  It happened this morning and hit targets including banks and airlines.  No idea if it was related but at work we did have some problems in late afternoon.

The internet is a big target.  No idea how much there is in the way of back-ups so it can still keep running after a hit but it's been obvious for a long time that most of us are totally focused on it above all else.  So any lost will hit us hard, to say nothing about the lack of communication or information available without it.

I've always thought the "cloud" was a horrible idea for most of us.  Keep back-ups of your files, printed copies if possible.  And learn how to communicate with other people in person, or at least by radio.  Gen X is probably the last generation where we grew up learning how to do that.

Oxford Union’s DEI President Who Celebrated Charlie Kirk Murder is Finally Removed From Office

□ [“Trump Posts A.I. Video of Himself in Fighter Jet Dumping Sewage on 'No Kings' Protesters"]

I'm pretty sure he doesn't post these memes.  Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't even see all of them although he's good at multitasking so maybe he does.  But it's making the point that only the people at these events are foolish enough to think it mattered.  Enough pix have come out to show that these were all 'whites only' events and we're getting other videos of the attendees acting like, well, leftists, praising Charlie Kirk's murderer and so on.

Other videos have people being asked what they're doing here, how they're oppressed by Trump, and not having a clue how to answer.  They do admit that they were "trained" on how to handle these peaceful protests and attendees were all given professionally-printed instruction cards.  [I only accepted one but there were others.]  So *someone* was doing this at every single one of the thousands of protests yesterday.  That's not a spontaneous gathering of individuals.  Those would require a structured organization to provide leadership and training.  These are employees, contractors, someone paid them to be here.  And there were federal investigators among the crowds to identify where the money came from.

Probably won't be tomorrow, maybe even not this week, but my guess is the leading Democrats will see this isn't helping.  The attendance will probably be exaggerated to hundreds of millions of people but from what we saw, all of them together wouldn't be able to handle a group of men with guns who arrived to have a real fight.  And since they only got old white people to show up, that means large parts of society wanted no part of this.

Can't remember who put it out last week, but Democrats were going to wait until after these protests to consider reopening the government.  Just the way that sounded reminded me of last year when Joe Biden was under a lot of pressure to drop out of the race.  It was said that they'd make a final decision on Sunday, which turned out to be the day after Trump was shot.  It's like they didn't get the results they wanted so Biden was dumped a week later.  I really get the impression this was the same, there was supposed to be this nationwide revolution against the false king.  I never thought it was a coincidence that that Sunday was also the anniversary of the French Revolution so *someone* was hoping to take Trump out the day before.

[Out of curiosity, I looked up anniversaries of today and yesterday to see if anything was relevant to leftists, or to me.  Didn't find much.  Today is the anniversary of the deaths of both Charles Babbage, Thomas Edison and Walt Kelly.  Yesterday's anniversaries are more interesting but not especially relevant.  The last day of the Hundred Years War, the marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile, Martin Luthor becomes a doctor.  The Siege of Yorktown ends, bringing the American Revolution close to an end.  Napoleon retreats from Moscow.  Neat stuff but little I saw as a justification to pick this day to have leftist rallies.]

9-year-old Boy and 10-year-old Girl R*pe and Scalp 5-year-old Cleveland Girl – Charged with Felonies Including Attempted Murder

Day 19 without a federal government.  Man, I'm still flying from yesterday's revolution.  We overwhelmed the tyrants and shot down all the white men (except me) and now we'll just live in peaceful harmony with the earth and the stars and Sydney Sweeney.  Man, this sh*t is great.  You want some?

But I gotta admit, there's a little bit of depression now.  What are we supposed to do next?  At least if we had a federal government tell us what to do, there'd be some sort of direction.  Now all we can do is wait for a leftist billionaire to tell Congress to tell the media to tell us what's happening next.  That works in a 'comfort food' sort of way but there's a slight chance that one or two Americans won't completely agree with that and without them, we aren't united.  And then what will we do?  See?  I'm just going around in circles!  You got any more of that sh*t?

□ [“Hamas Violates Trump’s Peace Deal, Launches 'Several Attacks' Against Israeli Troops"]

I did point out that this wouldn't last although I'm pretty sure even I didn't think it would be over this quickly.  Hamas says Israel started it.  On the bright side, it gives the philistines a reason to unite again instead of having Hamas kill them.  And Israel never gets any credit for anything.

I'm sure everybody knew this would happen, at least everybody relevant.  Trump recently made comments warning Hamas not to do anything or he'd kill them, suggesting that we have spies or drones on the ground and knew that they were already planning to break the ceasefire.  Or maybe it's just as obvious as the sun rising in the east.

So until further notice, I will assume the ceasefire is over.  As always, I hope Trump doesn't get involved, which means Trump will probably get involved.  So what's Europe going to do about it?  They're busy enough trying to get ready for war with Russia, they can't exactly attack Israel too.  Although to be fair, there would be a lot more people in their countries willing to enlist for that.  We'll see if the EU really believed this ceasefire would last.

□ [“Kamala Harris Suggests She Was the Most Qualified Presidential Candidate in US History"]

She has nothing else going on in her life.  Not sure she's got the $20 million campaign debt fixed but one part of negotiations was that she'd go out to promote Democrats.  She probably thinks she's important to somebody, somewhere.  So she's been making more public appearances recently.  Along with the reasons above, there is an argument to be made that she's one of the most prominent Democrats of the current crop.  Then she says idiotic things like this in public and her stock will just keep dropping.

Obviously she's not coming back in any capacity.  She's not capable of doing anything and anyone who could steal enough votes for her would pick someone else.  Younger, more attractive, less stupid, that sort of thing.  But she has nowhere else to go and, true or not, there's at least the impression that some people out there liked her.  They'd ditch her without hesitation but leftism is just the sort of thing you can always come back to.  Lenin and Trotsky despised each other but suddenly the revolution happened and the only way to get anything out of it was to work together, suddenly they're close allies.

But this is laughable.  And here she is talking about how great she is with no clue what she's saying.  This will only work on people just as mindless and the people-in-charge must realize that there's a limit to how much you can do with them.  It's possible that one reason she's been getting publicity lately was to help promote yesterday's protests, but she demonstrates here how limited the potential is.  Just another example that the left isn't about raising up people who aren't doing well, it's about tearing down people who are because *equality!*
