□ [“Trump to Block Washington Commanders Stadium Deal Unless They Change Name Back to Redskins"]

Of the new developments Trump is bringing to the table, at least this one comes off as gaudy and entertaining, the sort of things we expect from him.  It was really stupid to change the name in the first place but they were all *woke* in 2020.  Trump also made a similar comment about the Cleveland Indians.  At least I know the Indians from the movie Major League but I had to look it up to see what sport the Redskins even play.

But, at least for now, Trump has no authority over the Indians.  He can make his claim and they can ignore him.  But the Redskins need his approval to build a new stadium.  I'm sure all rational men can agree, this brings up a sensible question:  'why the f*ck does a f*cking football team need permission from the f*cking POTUS to f*cking build a f*cking stadium?'  And that, I don't f*cking know.

But just a guess, this is probably the point Trump is making here.  It's not his business and shouldn't be the President's job to have anything to do with this other than maybe like or dislike the team on the field.  How did anyone anywhere along the line decide that this must be done?  And what else is Trump's permission required for?

Now there is another point being made which is probably too subtle for most people to care about, but the team is based in Washington DC which, until fairly recently, was officially run by Congress, probably with official or unofficial help from the POTUS.  So I'm skeptical that any city should really be involved in building a stadium, but at this point it's probably a lost cause.  Given that, there is a solid argument that the federal government does have authority over what can or can't be built in DC.

So Trump, being Trump, is going to make some noise about this.  He's not the one who demanded authority on this in the first place, he's just accused of tyranny.  The left wouldn't mind if he demanded something leftist like changing the team's name.

On a similar note, around the same time as the Redskins changed their name, the beloved 80s tv show "The Dukes of Hazzard" was effectively banned and it all seemed to centered around the General Lee.  This seems to have been reversed as suddenly there are many posts on Facebook featuring the General and clips from various episodes.  The show was produced on CBS and I'm wondering if this is another example of the *woke* censorship being pushed back as Trump's approval is needed for that corporate merger.

□ [“A Livid Hunter Biden Drops Brutal Truth Bombs on Democrat Party Figures in Wild Interview"]

Someone else has decided to speak out, celebrating the first anniversary of his dad being purged.  The interview is over three hours long so few people will have any interest in it.  Of course he's attacking Trump and saying if he were POTUS he'd declare war on El Salvador if they didn't return their criminal illegal immigrants the US.  That sounds like threatening to beat your ex-wife if she doesn't cook dinner for you every night like she used to but that's why Hunter's had such success in life.

He attacks a lot of Democrats for turning on his dad, maybe he thinks he's being more like Luke Skywalker.  He really doesn't like George Clooney.  I'm guessing they were close back when Hunter was getting lots of money so he feels betrayed now.  I thought he went after Nancy Pelosi too as the final blow that kicked Biden out but I can't find that now.

It's quite possible he's doing this out of delusion.  He's Hunter Biden, don't need much more proof than that.  He also needs money so he may be looking for people who will pay him to keep quiet.  If he doesn't get that, he'll try to stay embarrassing in public.  He might try to run for government office but I doubt he'd get anywhere even without Democrat elites squashing him like a bug.  Silence is the closest he gets to having anything anyone would want.  Of course Republicans might be willing to pay him to keep talking...

□ [“Trump Posts A.I. Video of Obama Getting Arrested by FBI Agents and Tossed Into Jail"]

Well this is...  Hell, I dunno.  Trump really likes using "YMCA" as a theme song. Back when that song was popular, he was young, rich and partying in NYC which is probably not as good as you might think.  It's one of those things that makes me wonder if there's some hidden secret being passed along with this song for those 'in the know.'

The video is ok.  I'm not a good judge of A.I. generated vids anyway and it only takes up a small part of a small computer screen.  But beyond that, it looked believably real.  Which leads to the question of 'why is he posting this?'  The word "gaudy" keeps coming to mind and that certainly applies to Trump.  But this is crossing a line from where there's no going back.

The POTUS has authority which no one else can have and like him or not, Obama was actually the POTUS.  He also was at the center of the whole *woke* movement and an icon for those who judge according to skin color, which is probably most leftists.  Even if attacking Obama is the right thing to do - and I haven't yet seen a real argument on that - there's going to be backlash, it's unavoidable.

It's certainly possible this is the best way to go.  It has to happen if there's ever to be a chance of purging leftism from society.  It's probably pointless to attack everyone around Obama but avoid him personally.  You only have to check my writing for the last 17 or 18 years to see that I am not remotely a fan, but there are reasons to be wary of starting this.  Maybe I'll be lucky and someone will have a quick easy explanation of why this is all a great strategy. (hint hint)

There already are explanations.  Trump also posted an "anonymous" video, covering that the White House admitted that there was no foreign interference in the 2008 election.  Then they changed their minds and demanded a new report which matched what the POTUS wanted.  That is pretty straightforward, but it's such a large subject that it'll simply take a while to comprehend, and I say that as someone who already believed the basics on this.

□ [“Declassified DOJ Report on Hillary Clinton’s Private Server Reveals Obama’s Email Was Hacked"]

If Obama is the target, they're getting closer to the target.  I've always thought the Democrat recitation of "the law applies to everybody" was a deliberate joke given what Hillary did with that server.  She ignored classification for her unclassified server and even exposed a CIA agent with that information.  There's details on Benghazi and classified talk with Obama.

At a Russian airport she emailed Obama using her server, so the Russians had access to that.  We should assume they didn't give up that access when she left and it's 'flip a coin' whether she had any clue that it happened.  She'd already sold them US uranium so they knew which side she was on, even if she didn't.

Maybe it's just a personal feeling but I'm a lot more supportive of going after Hillary than Obama.  If nothing else, he came off as too much like a puppet who knew that was his job so he might as well enjoy it.  She was a puppet too but never accepted that and would always make things worse.  And she's been a public figure for way too long.

Bill gets the credit, he knew that as a hustler he needed to quit before he got caught.  Hillary thought it was serious and always felt entitled to power.  She just didn't want to do anything to get it.  I remember hearing somewhere that her greatest achievement as Secretary of State was all the mileage she put on planes, flying them around.  Yes, that was really what she was best at.

□ [“Trump Declares 'Obama Himself' Orchestrated Russia Hoax — 'The Crime of the Century' with Deep State Co-Conspirators"]

Well, he's not hiding.  Gotta admit, this is not what we expect from a Democrat POTUS, or any member of the uniparty.  Trump runs out in front of this.  Have you noticed that even Putin and Elon Musk don't get mentioned by leftists much these days, especially not being in total control over everything Trump does?  Whatever else is going on with his administration, the chief executive is where the buck stops.

Which makes it weird that he's saying Obama orchestrated it.  I keep pointing out, Obama votes "present."  It's rare to see a situation where he clearly made relevant decisions, even when he later says that's what happened.  'He killed bin Laden' became he got bored watching so he went out to play pool with others.  Trump is pointing all the blame at him but is that really accurate?

Trump is also singling out the co-conspirators.  I'll have to check through all my years of coverage to see what I thought about these people, but they all got lots of attention back in the day.  I'm guessing that a lot of them will start speaking out although it's unclear how many will believe them, or even have a clue who they are.  And what actual authority will they have now?  They're not in government.  Their chosen successors have probably all been purged at this point.  I'm sure they still have authority and influence somewhere but it's not clear with who.  For that matter, they would have lost any immunity after leaving office, even Obama.  At least officially.

This is going to be a big mess and I have no clue what direction anything's going to go from here.  I spent all these years saying we were headed towards Civil War 2.0.  Well, here's a chance for the fireworks to really get started.  Let's find out if it was all worth it.
