□ [“Keir Starmer Announces He’s Ready to Put 'Boots on the Ground' to Ukraine After Giving Them $2 Billion"]

I'm starting to think this is about humiliating Ukraine and whoever supports them.  The money is a small fraction of just the amount that Ukraine is unable to account for, not to mention all the rest of it from the US.  And this is supposed to be enough to get by without us?  Oh, that British sense of humor!

And boots on the ground?  Who, dare I ask, will be filling those boots?  He's not going to get very many young British men eager to put on a uniform and go right Russia, maybe he'll have to start drafting Parliament.  Don't worry, they'll obey him.  In fact, maybe he should draft the whole EU to join his crusade.

NATO has already shown that they aren't required to join in when one of their members attacks another nation.  They didn't help France when they attacked Algeria and France didn't help when the US invaded Iraq.  The US did help France in Vietnam but liberals never seem happy about that.  And remember, Ukraine has never bothered to become an ally.

This may be the underlying point of the war, that the left really doesn't care what happens to Ukraine.  They just want to clean out western military equipment and taxpayer money for something that's none of their business.  Up to and including Starmer saying he'll put "boots on the ground."  I'm sure US liberals are cheering him on and damn Trump for not doing the same thing.

If they can apply this mindset to getting into a war - which they themselves haven't signed up for in three years - they can apply it to everything else they do, with the same results.  The world can see that now.

□ [“Britain’s Ambassador Urges Zelensky to Give ‘Unequivocal Backing’ to Trump’s Peace Initiative — U.S. Negotiation ‘Only Show in Town’"]

He's trying to be diplomatic but he's clearly saying that Europe and Ukraine need to go along with Trump's peace plan because there is no other option.  He'll obviously decide very soon that he should spend more time with his family and look for a less-stressful job.

European leaders made a point of taking pictures with Zelensky, but he's probably used to that.  It does nothing to actually protect any Ukrainian, which shows what isn't the priority.  Even if they think their dying for their nation, their supporters know it's about the 'new world order.'

Then there's the side-deals being made.  Apparently Britain and Ukraine signed a deal on January 16, just before Trump ended his long vacation from being POTUS, which promises security and gives the UK rights to Ukraine's critical minerals.  Wouldn't those be the ones Trump demanded in exchange for providing security?  People were outraged when he said that, I'm guessing they aren't remotely offended by Britain already doing the same thing.

One thing that is annoying about Trump is his habit of commenting on something in a way that makes no sense.  The left gets outraged, sensible people actually look at it and see that he has a relevant point, even if it has nothing to do with the comment that started it off.  I think he'd still get the same results if he was more straightforward about things like Ukraine's rare minerals.

I've said this before but I think Trump knows full-well how annoying he is, which is why he makes such a point of being right about whatever he's saying.  I think he scores poorly in a number of ways for public presentation, but I also think he knows it too, and has worked to compensate his whole life.  One thing that makes Trump likeable is that he's so affective at accomplishing the task he's supposed to and then leaving us along to go on with our lives.

Just a note, after I wrote this, Zelensky did say after his meetings in Britain that he was willing to sign Trump's agreement.  Either the Brits don't actually have the rights or Zelensky's trying to hustle Trump.  This might be an interesting week.

□ [“Pam Bondi Was ‘Assured There Are Only 120 Pages’ — FBI Official Who Withheld Docs ‘Will Not Be Working for Us Anymore’"]

Uh-huh.  This is obviously a set-up, it's just not clear who's doing, who the target is or why.  As the saying goes, if you don't know who's being hustled, it's probably you.  Yet this continues anyway.

Why would she believe that there was only 120 pages?  Just the amount of operations Epstein had would require many tens of thousands, keeping the island functioning, however the trafficking was covered up, running his normal business operations.  But it had magically all vanished except for these 120 pages which SDNY was generously giving her now?

I suspect she didn't actually believe that, it's just the story they're going with.  Perhaps they're setting up the SDNY as suspects, protecting Epstein through all the investigations, before and after his death.  This is slowly becoming more known to the public, and then they can start including all the others in New York and elsewhere who were connected.

I really hope that's what happens.  Otherwise we have Bondi announcing that the documents on her desk were ready to be released to the public and one look at them would be asking 'that's it?'

□ [“Whistleblower:  There's a Marxist 'Trans Cult' That's Infiltrated the 'Intelligence' Community"]

This is covering the NSA's sexchat section on their computers.  But there's more than that, trans activists have been there for a decade or so.  That would put them in Obama's second term, which is roughly when the modern activism started.  You can argue that it's been around much longer, but I noticed that he started his second term announcing that he had magically decided gay marriage was fine.  He had totally opposed it before and never got any criticism by gay activists, funny how that works.

But that's not all the conspiracies we see.  There's also the Chinese agents.  I forget if it was Nancy Pelosi or Dianne Feinstein who had one as a direct servant, but they've made their way through the uniparty.  Some of them may not even be Chinese.

□ [“Eric Swalwell Openly Brags About 'Orgies' and 'F***ing 10s' to Lobbyists Who Are Total Strangers"]

He's had a Chinese spy for a girlfriend and got away with it, so there's no reason to hold back now.  Getting drunk at dinner and just spewing it all out.  The House had investigated him for Fang Fang and, as you might expect, decided it was totally acceptable.  He only left the House Intelligence Committee because of term limits.  He also tried to run for POTUS in 2020 but was even less competent than Kamala Harris, dropping out of the race in 2019.

Anyway, the point is that the federal government is infested with people like this, basically operating as cults.  All the power and none of the restraint.  Just the little we hear about stuff like this makes it clear that there's so much more, and it's really not clear what Trump plans to do about it.  Whether they know it or not, they're all on the same side, and so is China.

□ [“Rahm Emanuel Rips *Woke* Policies:  'I Don’t Want to Hear Another Word About the Bathroom. You Better Start Focusing on the Classroom'"]

Here's an example of the problems Democrats are having.  The party follows the *woke* agenda but Emanual was the mayor of Chicago, before that he was Obama's Chief of Staff and has been working for the Clintons since Bill's 1992 campaign.  You could argue that he helped make the *woke* agenda and he's saying it's gone too far.

It's like that scene towards the end of Atlas Shrugged where the bad guys are talking about how all the people they liked are gone and have been replaced by meanies and thugs.  This is what the left has always been pushing.  There's more than a bit of similarity to the saying that people under 30 who aren't liberal have no heart, people over 30 who aren't conservative have no brain.  That's not literally true but the point is that age and experience show you that leftism doesn't work, yet the newcomers never understand that, they just say it's never really been tried before.

There's no way to know if Emanuel really believes this or if he's just moving with the winds, but that's how they're blowing.  The country has had far too much leftism and we want it gone.  This is why the party is having such problems, the only people they have in charge just want more leftism and are rich enough to get away with it.  Just a guess, but I'd expect Epstein will try to be the 2026 candidate.  He'll be almost 70 then and maybe Democrats will have gotten a bit smarter, but at the moment, just from making points like this, he seems like the best choice.
