□ [“Camilla Angry with Prince William for Encroaching on Charles’ Powers"]

Are we going to get another scene of a woman lusting for power pushing her old unhealthy man too far?  The British monarchy isn't something that Americans should be interested in but here we are.  I would think the monarchs had definite rules and traditions on the matter.  And face it, Charles is old and by all accounts is in lousy health.  This woman isn't royalty, she just wouldn't know any better.

I keep saying this but I'd respect Charles a lot more if he had been handed the crown and immediately turned to give it to William.  The only reason I can think of that he didn't was power-lust, and maybe that was just his wife.  Elizabeth II had been queen for a very long time, the most convenient example is that when she took the throne, Elvis Presley was in high school and just getting into this music thing.  When someone that old finally dies, it should be the grandkids who take over.  [Or another example, she'd been on the throne for nine years when Diana was born and another 25 after she died.]

I don't follow William either, but from what little I've heard, he at least has potential.  Britain desperately needs a good leader.  The protests are still going, there's a chance that Brits are finally not going to take any more of this and Charles will be one of the targets.  If William can speak out and oppose the oppression his father helped install on the country, that would be a very good sign.

□ [“Trump Invokes Section 740 of DC Home Act, Federalizes DC Police, Sends in National Guard"]

Well here we go.  He cites legal authority and issues Executive Orders regarding the military.  Notice that the left just insists that DC crime is so much less than it's been for thirty years.  That's because nobody gets arrested for crime anymore, so it doesn't get counted.  I think there's a good chance blacks in DC are going to be very pleased that it's suddenly become safer in their neighborhoods and they'll ask why the hell Democrats opposed it.

Because it's Trump, I also assume there's something else going on.  A couple of months ago, there was a story about an underground tunnel leading out from Congress.  I don't think I cited that story and finally closed that webpage after waiting for months for something to say about it, but I'm wondering if the military is going to be checking out those tunnels.  They probably already have a good idea of what they've been used for.

□ [“Hillary Clinton Lashes Out at Trump For Deploying National Guard in DC"]

And look who finally had something to say in public.  Well, tweet.  Well, at least her name is attached to it, no clue if she had anything to do with this.  Of all that's going on in the world, she rushes to speak out about police not arresting anybody so that's proof everything is safe?  Nothing suspicious about that.  There is the obvious reduction of crime but I think they're going after something here.

This is happening just as Trump also orders the military to move against the drug cartels, mostly from Mexico but it looks like he's going after Latin America in general.  That's an interesting move.  I'm not sure how much they'll be fighting on the enemy's turf but since the borders already seem to be mostly-safe, what other option is there?  It's like he has told the other leaders 'we're taking the cartels out, you need to decide which side you're on.'  Because it involves the US and our borders, that is one of Trump's 'foreign' actions which I totally support.

□ [“NBC Leaves IL Governor Pritzker Stammering for Gerrymandering Hypocrisy"]

NBC is doing this?  The reporter just shows pix of how Illinois districts are organized, which looks very stupid, and points out that's exactly what they're criticizing Texas for.  It really does look like the media is at least making an attempt to be less discriminatory against political parties they don't like.  It probably comes down to their parent companies wanting government funding - what the government gives, the government can take away - but there's also the fact that they can appeal to the majority of Americans or to liberals but they can't do both.

Gavin Newsom has made a point of threatening to do the same thing.  It's not that impressive since California already did that.  Most people hadn't thought about this but now that Trump's lit the fire, they're looking at blue states and seeing how many of their citizens vote Republican and how that is not reflected by elected state or federal officials.  Democrats are going to need to drop this argument real quickly, or at least censor anyone who asks some obvious questions about their own states.

Still not sure what authority there is to have a mid-decade census.  But given how many illegal immigrants are gone, it's probably needed.  And there's all the leftists who promise to flee the country, gotta determine the population reduction in their areas too.  With the illegals, the media, leftists and more, it is really impressive how Trump 2.0 is getting things moving the right direction.  Don't know how long it'll last but it's such a relief after the last few decades.

□ [“Gavin Newsom Threatens Trump with 24-Hour Ultimatum — Stand Down or Face Blue-State Gerrymandering"]

This came out after I wrote the above.  This just seems stupid.  Newsom had just made his other comment and Trump hadn't even bothered to respond, now it's suddenly 24-hours.  Hopefully Trump still won't respond.  Knowing him, he probably will but just as a snarky comment to the media.  Then the blue states will have to try to figure out what to do and a lot of their citizens won't like it.

It's been almost ten years, at some point you need to see that Trump is setting up these traps that you just rush into.  The fact that the left can't just step back and chill out for a while shows why they're always causing more problems than they know what to do with.  At this point, it looks like they'll respond to this failure by looking for the modern version of Fort Sumter to seize it from the federal government.

□ [“European Leaders Line Up to Talk to Trump Before Friday’s Meeting With Putin in Alaska"]

We still don't see much of what's going on but it is starting look like the tide is turning on WWIII.  Europe really doesn't have anything to go with so they need to be for US help.  That means they need to turn to the guy they've been attacking all these years.  What else are they going to do, rely on Ukraine?

Zelensky is the one causing the problems here, he's basically said he won't agree to any agreement unless Ukraine gets everything.  And he'll keep the war going no matter what Ukrainians think of it.  It's not like he needs to face any elections or even criticism.  He gets to fly around with leftist celebrities, there's no reason to give peace a chance.

I don't know what problems Russia is having and don't really trust any of the reports.  That said, it's suggested that Russia has had far too many casualties for taking too little territory.  If true, well that's their problem.  Russia's always a mess, that's what they're here for.  Overthrow Putin and replace him with someone just as bad, not our problem.  He has to live there.  But I don't really trust the report on casualties and it's tough to believe that Russia has really struggled to get a few miles here and there.  But if Putin and/or Zelensky can't be overthrown to stop the war, let these countries kill each other.
