If I knew then what I know now, I'd have introduced now and then to be friends. But I didn't, so that's how we wound up here.

Trump to Withdraw US From UN Human Rights Council

This is a weird feeling, I'm not at all used to it.  I know what it feels like to lose and to lose big and to lose painfully, but this isn't like any of those.  Does anybody know a way to describe this strange feeling?

Just a day ago the leftist sites were boasting how Canada and Mexico were boldly standing up against Trump's evil ways.  How the tariffs would only damage America and other nations would just inflict more on us.  Yet the people in charge of our neighbor countries have decided not to do that, but instead to comply with Trump.

It's like they knew all along that this wouldn't help their side, or they were very quickly informed of this by people who knew better.  At best it was putting on a show for their fellow leftists, then giving up within 24 hours.  That's not going to win them any support at home or abroad, yet they went straight for it.  Now we'll have to see how China reacts.

I still don't get the point of Greenland, although there is a need to defend the Arctic regions.  There's also mining for minerals, but I don't pay attention to that stuff.  My interest is that Denmark is basically giving in, although they stress that Greenland will remain Danish.  I don't care either way, but the Greenlanders may have something to say about that.

I'm also worried that any or all of these nations might be faking compliance, just to gain more of a delay.  I'm sure Trump is aware of that possibility, but it still needs to be brought up to make sure nobody's missing it.  No idea how much time we'll have so we can't waste it.

□ [“Trump Shuts Down the CIA/State Department/Obama Slush Fund USAID"]

Not sure I've ever even heard of this agency before, but it sounds like one of the main sites to fund international terrorism, elites and much of what's been working against us for decades.  Karoline Leavitt listed several examples like funding a comic book here, a musical there, pushing DEI and whatever the rest of the leftist agenda is all over the world.

It's not just funneling money abroad, this could also be the main source of the 'deep state' funding, and/or the uniparty.  Members of Congress and unelected bureaucrats could see where to invest, even helping their friends and family.  The people showing up for protests clearly don't have real jobs, so where are they getting money to live on?  Well here you go.

I'm sure there's more sources than USAID but it's pretty clear that this is the main one from Trump's perspective, or at least the biggest and easiest one to take down.  It could just be that he did an executive order against foreign funding and they were the first and loudest to complain.  The DC headquarters was shut down and all the employees were locked out, so they can't access whatever they had hidden there.  Secretary of State Marco Rubio has become acting director, probably because foreign policy is his job anyway.

Democrats are screaming that it's dictatorial to not take American's money and send it out of the country.  We'll see if anybody in Congress isn't part of this.  They're going to need to stop Trump at any cost, not just to protect themselves but to avoid being punished by whoever they've been answering to all this time.

This sounds like a great victory for Trump, or at least the first step towards one.  The enemy's funding is going to dry up quickly.  A lot of employees will decide it's better to turn against their masters and they'll try to protect themselves by speaking out and giving up all the secrets.  I don't know where this is going to go but I hope it lasts for a long time.

Just a note, looking it up, USAID was founded by an executive order from JFK in 1961.  It tied together several pre-existing organizations, but is there any chance it could have some relevant part in JFK's end?  We might find out shortly.

□ [“Outgoing DNC Chair Unveils Democrat Party’s Rules for Leadership Positions"]

This was from a couple days ago but it's just so pointless and confusing.  This demonstrates that Democrats really have no clue why they lost and they're going to double down on the same insanity.  To elect officers, they need to have multiple elections with specific rules on how they must wind up with equal parts male, female and non-gender.

More than anything else, this is what's pushing people away from them.  Most of us don't have a clue how the economy works so it may not be entirely fair to blame leftists for the massive increase in inflation.  The rest of the world is supposed to be doing things on their own so it may not be leftists fault that all these wars have started or are ready to start.  Even the transgender nonsense, it's one thing if you're an adult who's stupid enough to pretend you can make up your own gender, at least if you keep it to yourself.  It's another thing to force everyone to agree with you and impose that on children.

Yet they're doubling down on this and somehow convince themselves that this will win more elections.  'Doing the same thing and expecting a different result,' does that mean anything to you?  It just shows how they're running around in their own smaller and smaller circle, incapable of perceiving what's really going on in front of them.  Is this what it looked like to the tiny mammals when seeing the dinosaurs looking confused and dropping dead?

□ [“CNN Asks Sen. Tim Kaine: ‘Why is Your Party So Staggeringly Unpopular?’"]

Even the media is starting to speak out.  Maybe they're just desperate to find some real viewers, maybe they want to at least pretend to be open minded when they have to re-up their government licenses.  CNN's been acting strange for several months, at least based on news headlines (since I never watch it.)  But they're actually pointing out to a leading Democrat that his party is creating its own problems.

By the way, why don't they ask Kamala Harris?  It's not like she has anything better to do and she probably wants to try again to run for office, so you'd think she'd keep herself in the public eye.  Maybe she hasn't repaid her $20 million campaign debt, but even then, she'd get money to go on tv.  There's a valid argument that the loser should go away, but I must admit, times have changed so might as well give that a try.
h o
Anyway, Kaine still gets paid, although it's not like Congress is doing anything, so he still gets attention.  Gee, it's like the campaign is still going on.  And of course he can't answer a basic question like that.  He just pretends Democrats are doing something, mumbles about the tariffs which haven't even started and then changes the conversation to arguing about the Virginian governor being Republican.

It's long been said that a veep is picked by being dumb enough to make the POTUS look good.  Well, Obama picked Biden, Biden picked Harris and Harris picked Kaine, who is now the leading spokesman for the party.  Don't hear much from others like Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, Gavin Newsom or AOC.  They have nothing better to offer.  Pointing to that would be a better explanation of why the party is so unpopular.

□ [“New Jersey Gov. Murphy Admits to Harboring ‘Illegal Alien’ in His Home — Brazenly Dares Feds to Intervene"]

This is a trap of some sort.  They're going to come to his home and there's something waiting for them.  Not sure what.  The guy has guts to make this claim but that suggests it's something else.  So far all the others who've said they'll do such a thing have given up, but IIRC they were mayors.  Maybe it'll be different with a governor.

Did his bodyguards get a chance to investigate whoever was staying with the governor or could this guy turn out to be an ISIS supporter and nobody would know until it happens?  Or does he have any diseases that your doctor might want to find out about in advance?  There's a reason people who enter the country legally need to be checked out first.  For that matter, does this guy speak english or have you had to learn his language because you work for him?  Taxpayer money going to fund breaking federal law, gotta love it.

Like I said, I admire the guts but this isn't going to work out well for him.  If he can break federal law, he can break state law too.  And so could others, following his example.  At best he'll get other governors on his side to defy federal law, but then that just increases the problem.  Who is this supposed to convince to side with him?
