□ [“Trump Proudly Displays His Famous Mugshot Photo on The White House Wall"]

We knew he was going to keep promoting that one.  It's probably not the official picture used at government and military offices, but it should be.  This was the left trying to get rid of him, yet again, and he's using it for self-promotion.  And after eight years, the left still has no other way to fight this guy.  It's making him more popular.

He's getting close, but I just realized today that Trump doesn't even have his full cabinet yet.  It hasn't been four weeks and just look at all the chaos he's inflicted on the elites and their pets, just using his temporary secretaries.  This is just the opening act to keep the audience entertained before the main performers go on stage.  Holy sh*t, they haven't even started the real show yet.

Kash Patel, the nominee to run the FBI, says that if he's appointed, he'll release the list of Epstein's clients.  I assume there's a reason they haven't done that already, probably needs to be an official appointee handling this, but that should get people interested.  Or desperate to protect themselves.  I think Patel is expected to pass Congress next week, that may be when other information starts being released, like the JFK/RFK/MLK files.  Not sure how they're timing this, but I'm pretty sure they've got a schedule in place.

I don't think Trump should be put on Mount Rushmore, leave that the way it is, but whatever monument is established to honor his performance should use that mugshot as the basis.  We're going to remember this for a long time.

All anecdotal and James Carville never mentions that he insisted Harris would win last November, but it is becoming more clear that the left is pushing people away.  They don't even realize it, even when you tell them explicitly, they just want to keep pushing this insanity.  But there are fewer and fewer of them every day.

Four months ago, we never could have expected this.  Now it's a question of how long can the left ignore this?  What else can they do except purge everyone who doesn't agree out of their own lives, winding up broken and alone?  Even the rich ones would have problems with their sycophants.  Meanwhile the right can just shrug and not interrupt the enemy destroying itself.

This must be affecting the whole world.  Don't know how much we'll see or comprehend, but almost every country must have some people inspired by this.  And from Democrats on down, their only way to respond will be blatant totalitarianism, North Korea would be the ideal state.  And if we're really lucky, all the serious weapons they could use against us - nukes, bioweapons - are locked up because even the most insane rulers must have working security systems to keep such things from just being used for some tiff.

I can't believe I'm being this optimistic, but this could be the 'awakening' we've heard about.  The left can never be totally eradicated, but for the first time in ages, they'll diminish themselves to almost total irrelevance.  Everyone else will actually learn something and can make things better, or at least stop imposing themselves on others.

But Trump cites the specific laws and statutes in his executive orders.  This is what the executive branch does.  The fact that leftists are just going for the standard 'he's a nazi!' rhetoric shows that they have nothing to fall back on.  It has more in common with childish tantrums than coherent legal arguments, and these are the best the left has to offer.

No idea how long it will take, but some of these lawsuits will be cancelled, others will be combined, and one way or another, they'll wind up at the Supreme Court.  I'm still not remotely confident about their verdict, but otherwise I assume this is part of the plan.  It's possible that they may not even reach the Supremes.  They'd have to go through lower courts first and at some point, someone will ask what laws they're citing that Trump is supposedly breaking, and that'll be the end of it.  Or else the court has to be as corrupt as the leftist politicians, and it'll be moved up to the next step.

This is why the three branches of government were set up the way they are.  One of the worst things to say about it is how the poison has infected all three of them over the decades.  Even those of us old enough to learn actual civics in school can barely remember a time when things worked best for the most people.  But this is how Trump is maximizing his effect now, which will expand through the country and the world.  Here he'll be demonstrating the difference between federal and state, while opposing state lawyers who are making more demands from the fed.  These are lessons that will be passed on for a long time.

JD Vance Shocks Munich With Speech on Europe's Determined Slouch Into Tyranny and Madness

For those who have been eagerly waiting, the new Falcon movie has finally arrived.  We can see the newest Marvel disaster without having to see the actual movie.  It doesn't sound like it's doing very well but I'm sure they'll hold off on the actual ticket sales as long as possible.  Most of the reviews I've heard are a 'meh' at best.

One interesting thing (depending on how you look at it) is that the most recent commenters seem to see the story as piecing together several pieces of other Marvel product of the last few years.  Specifically the plot revolves around a Celestial rising in the ocean, from the 2021 Eternals movie bomb which had been ignored since.  People are supposed to be interested in this when they didn't do the homework to have a clue what's going on?

At least with a handful of people doing pictures on paper, there's something to interest fans and even create material that a future creative team can make use of, as this movie is leeching some of Jack Kirby's less interesting concepts.  It doesn't need to bring in hundreds of millions of dollars just to break even.  But movies, especially like this, can only be remotely considered an "art form" in the most  technical sense.

No idea if this movie will do as badly as The Marvels.  It would be nice, but who knows?  Advanced ticked sales were reportedly not doing as well as Ant-Man 3, so that tells us it won't do well.  For some reason, Disney has suddenly started announcing that this movie *only* cost $180 million, which is ridiculous enough, but we know they're lying.  Maybe that's what it was originally budgeted for, but the reshoots would have been a lot more.  Harrison Ford isn't cheap either, cgi, marketing...  How long will Disney keep insisting this is the right way to go?

□ [“New Propaganda Drops:  Akshually Biden Arrested More Border Crossers Than Trump Did!!!"]

Which the left completely ignored all those years because that's how much they support illegal immigrants.  It's bad when Republicans do less of the exact same thing Democrats were doing.  Biden and Harris could have even used that in the campaign speeches, that Trump's not going to do as much of it as we're already doing!

But of course the left believes this without question.  Because they're all about border security.  Ain't going to make it to a "sanctuary city" if they're in charge.  This sort of rhetoric is why people are being pushed away from the party.  It's just too much work to pretend to believe it, or repeat these lies and try to convince others.

I've noticed that the left seems to have lost their leaders, meaning all the individual groups are going off in their own directions which is why the noise factor has risen so much in the last three and a half months.  They're individuals pushing out their own delusions instead of following the party line.  That description is a bit simplistic, but there's nothing coming from Obama, the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, much less lesser names like Biden or Harris.  Even the big names from Hollywood aren't saying much these days.  Even if they do, they're just one whiny voice out of the multitude.

It's one reason why I haven't been citing the leftist lawsuits and complaints about Trump.  Individually they might be interesting, but looking at the headlines and articles, there's just a bland sameness about them all.  This delusion might be humorous but it's effectively the same as some other delusion, which reduces the point of giving it any thought.  Collectively, the sane people are having that reaction to the leftist insanity, it's just not worth bothering with them at all.  "You go your way, we'll go ours" would be a civilized response, but the left won't accept that.
