□ [“Rep. Hakeem Jeffries:   It’s Time to Fight Trump's Agenda 'In the Streets'"]

I would suggest starting off at Fort Sumter but maybe that's just my interest in history.  We know you'd lose.  You don't have the numbers, you don't have the weapons or logistics, you don't even have anything to fight for.  Our side has all of that, we'll fight for the real United States.  So that said, when would you like to get this started?  You wouldn't want to look like a poser.

The shift in mindset is starting to become clear, at least slightly.  Our side knows we've won and, all else being equal, it's going to stay that way.  Their side doesn't get that, but their only option is double down on their delusions.  They just didn't push the *woke* agenda enough.

You can see this with how they've returned to calling Trump and supporters "nazis."  In an actual tyranny, people are afraid to speak up.  We saw that for the last few years with the transgender movement being pushed everywhere and the media telling us that anyone who wasn't vaccinated against covid should just stay home and die.  These people know they aren't going to be censored so they'll just scream even louder how tyrannical everything is now.

They also know at some level that they need to shoot Trump.  Can't put him in jail, they've tried to do that all these years and have completely failed.  Assassination is the only way they can guarantee he'll never be heard from again, so every single one of these people needs to be constantly asked what they're doing to make that happen.

Tell them not to be wussies about it, just like Hakeem Jeffries is doing here.  If you actually believe in what you're saying, and we know you don't, then don't just expect others to take the risk.  Who does Jeffries expect to his streetfighting if he's not there personally?  Illegal immigrants?  Might as well ask China to send in their forces.

□ [“Newsom Walks Back His Plan to Spend $50 Million of Taxpayer Money to Sue Trump"]

The lawsuits aren't going to stop, although they will be reduced.  As POTUS, Trump simply has leeway that few others posses, so suing him becomes pointless.  Being rich and connected to other rich people, there's not even the option of suing him into bankruptcy, the way elites and big companies usually operate against people they don't like.  Some people will continue, just because they can, but as a tool this is mostly useless.

In this case, even the leftists realized they'd just look stupid, suing for no reason when there are other problems that really should be dealt with first.  We don't hear much about the fires anymore and it's pretty clear that they haven't just been extinguished like firefighters are supposed to do.  If they had been, there would be celebration and compliments for the men who did the work.  Instead California is just resigned to letting them burn out on their own.

I'm not sure I've ever used the phrase "Trump derangement syndrome" but that's what this is.  The left is just delusionally obsessed with Trump against all reason and are just getting more and more obvious about it.  People watching this week's Congressional hearings probably saw even more, the left is just going to keep doing this even as it makes things worse.  They can't stop, it's their only option, and they'll wind up just pushing more people onto Trump's side because they want sanity instead.

Trump Will Impose 100% Tariffs on Countries Joining Alternative Reserve Currency to Protect US Dollar

□ [“CBS in Talks to Settle Trump's $10 Billion Lawsuit for Deceptively Editing 60 Minutes Interview with Kamala"]

And Trump is finally willing to use these tactics against the left.  Not that I'm fully in favor of it.  As entertaining as it is, I'm not happy about our POTUS doing things like this.  I had a similar reaction to the laws passed after 9/11.  It wasn't that I was concerned what Bush and Cheney would do with them, it was what their successors would do that concerned me.

This case is also a bit weird because Trump doesn't really have any grounds to sue.  60 Minutes did try to interfere with the election by making Harris sound more coherent in the interview than she actually is, and I'm sure there's some federal laws against official 'news' shows doing things like this, there's just not much reason why Trump should be the one handling this, especially since he won.

Of course he may just be trying to get the network to release the real interview and transcript, rather than what they broadcasted.  And of course the network will do anything to avoid doing that.  Trump *should* be handling that part of the fight and I'm glad he's doing this, it's just the rest of it that I don't like.

□ [“'All Options are On the Table' – Defense Sec. Hegseth on Strikes Against Drug Cartels in Mexico"]

This could be another reason for Trump to talk about taking some new territory, just finding an excuse to send in troops without Congress declaring a war.  In this case, Mexico would be either unwilling or unable to handle the cartels themselves, so just send in American troops to crush them.

The cartels are certainly connected to other adversaries around the world, so there's a good chance of getting more info out of them, or at least their corpses.  There wouldn't be any immediate replacements, at least not the competent ones, so Mexico and other nations might have a chance of regaining more control.  Or they'd have to turn against us, so we'll see how that goes.  The traffickers in the US would be cut-off from support and communication, so they could be easier to hit, cutting off the branches after the trunk is chopped down.

It's something that needs to be done.  The enemy could also be bringing in whatever weapons they have access to, rockets, nukes, bioweapons, etc.  I don't know how many decades this thing has been been going on but there needs to be a stop.  We could also start learning who has been supporting this in the uniparty and the 'deep state.'

□ [“Obama Judge Blocks Trump’s Federal Spending Freeze For 22 States"]

This is probably the best option the enemy has at the moment.  Getting pet judges to shut things down would be the most effective.  But the problem is that most of us have no clue if there's any justification or not, so we'll just pick whichever side we're already on.  So this is just another part of the war which we can see and will have an impact, but we don't contribute to in any meaningful way.

I hope Trump has prepared for this.  He'd be the one with the clearest sight on everything going on, but there's no way he can go after the judicial branch without just looking like a tyrant.  I'm not saying he's wrong, I'm just saying there's no way to defend him doing this.  As I said, you can only pick which side you'll be on and hope that's a good decision.

I suspect this is leading to the left finally coming around to some consciousness and working out which direction to go next.  They'll ignore judges whenever it's convenient but this branch of the government does seem to be something they can depend on more than the others.  When in doubt, get some unelected official with authority to tell you what you want to hear.  Unless the left is actually getting orders in private, this is probably the mentality that's finally giving them a way to resist.  No idea if it'll work, but it's something.
