US Tightens the Siege Around Venezuela – Military Reportedly ‘Preparing To Seize Ports and Airfields’
October 4, 2025

Day four without a federal government.  I think something happened.  But who knows, there's no longer any official media to tell us everything.  Where are we supposed to learn about the rumors from some anonymous bureaucrat about how Trump's going to shoot us all and use our skin as window curtains at Mar-a-Lago?  I'll die without hearing more of that!

Even worse, people aren't out rioting and burning everything down.  What kind of hope is there for our children?  We used to have people paid to riot and burn, that's really what we need a government to do.  I swear, when I take over, there will be riots every day.  But Trump won't let that happen because he's a tyrant.

□ [“Illinois Governor Whines That Trump Gave Him an Ultimatum, Will Now Federalize the NG"]

It's deliberately vague which cities Trump has sent troops into by now but Chicago is definitely happening.  And at least some people are going to fight back, although it's not clear if they're actually from Chicago.  Several DHS agents were ambushed in a vehicle and boxed in.  This does qualify as open rebellion, the sort of thing Republicans should have been doing for the last four years, which I specifically called for.

“Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.”

The state of Illinois isn't going to do anything about this, nor will Democrats in general, other than supporting the Antifa rebels.  But this just doesn't seem workable for them.  First of all, they don't have the forces to really fight back.  Second of all, how much of Chicago would really be on their side?  Probably not as many as they expect.  Then there's the question of how any other liberal city would send any troops or supplies.

I suspect one goal here is to show that the left really doesn't have as much support as they believe they do.  Even where they actually hold the majority, most people won't actually stand up to help them.  Then there's the people who aren't on their side but live there for other reasons.  I'm thinking foreign bioweapons but they have no chance of winning this without *something* most people wouldn't expect.

Meanwhile the activist judges are still trying to ignore the laws and dictate how they want things to be.  Antifa is trying to run the streets and they think this is sufficient.  Thinking about it, this may be why the Supreme Court isn't really getting involved, the same reason Congress doesn't do anything.  It's up to the Chief Executive to handle this stuff and, unlike the rest of us, they specifically know what's going on.

Pastor Speaks Out After Muslims Take Over Chapel at Dallas Airport and Block Him from Entering

□ [“Church of England Appoints Pro-Abortion Feminist as Archbishop of Canterbury"]

Announce to the world that your country and religion are over without using those specific words.  You just have to wonder if the Muslim majority will entertain themselves by leaving her around or will they do to her what Muslims are doing to women in England?

Where are the protestors?  Not just about this stupid decision but in general?  Since the English don't have weapons as an option, my guess is they're going to withdraw altogether.  The church might be the most obvious sight of this but the female-in-charge won't care how small attendance gets.  But as noted, this is exactly the sort of thing happening with the Catholic Church, meaning organized Christianity is now largely past-tense.  Wonder how the Russian Orthodox Church is doing these days.

But it's still depressing to see how deeply the *woke* agenda has infected society.  I always assume it's all just leftism in various ways.  China is the most obvious part, using it as a weapon across the world, but before that was Russia.  Back when the modern world was just getting started, and all we were told was how great everything was in Russia.

Before that, leftism was essentially a fantasy because few people could even try it unless they wanted to starve to death in a few weeks.  Only the perverted elites could even give it more than the slightest thought.  But now they've infiltrated the civilized world.  Really, it's the sort of thing religion is there for because if you think about it, who could possibly be higher than these tyrannical elites in charge of the world?

Not entirely related, other than it's English and has had a lot of fans for a long time, but here's another example.  For some stupid reason, the left has suddenly gotten loud about banning guns again.  Amazon has acquired the property so they think they're allowed to rewrite history.  The internet does not define reality and all they're going to do is destroy their own IP, which they didn't even bother to create or make popular.

□ [“Leftists in Portland, Oregon Planning ‘Emergency’ Naked Bike Ride to Protest Trump and ICE"]

I mentioned this a couple days ago but they're still doing this.  Because the best way to protest Trump is to show off your genitals to the public.  Hopefully they bring their children to watch, a totally leftist desire for everyone.  This is not going to win over any supporters.

For that matter, I have to wonder if it's actually going to hurt their own side.  The troops on the ground probably aren't going to be taking part in this, so what will they think?  If attacking DHS agents on the streets isn't literally combat, it's close enough for those that actually go through it.  They're the ones in actual danger and could probably start being pissed that others are just doing... this.

Meanwhile, the naked people on bikes are in no danger which, as leftists, would make them feel more entitled to applause than the troops on the ground.  If they have a united chain-of-command, those in charge will need to appease both sides and if they don't, it's likely they'll turn on each other before too long.  'If you're not with us, you're against us' is standard leftism for a reason.

□ [“Aimlessly Drifting Democrats Launch Ads Criticizing Republicans for Government Shutdown"]

Oh come on, this is just laziness.  They're only running these ads in 13 districts because they think this will matter in the 2026 elections.  10 of those districts are already Democrat, you really think running an ad now will matter a year from now?  Who thought this was a good idea?  I can't even find where these ads will be running, on local tv networks?

This is where memes are useful.  This is an internet age and A.I.-created images, how hard would it be to think of a funny picture that illustrates a point?  Chuck Schumer wearing a sombrero isn't that difficult, or all that amusing, but the way the left is so insulted by it is hilarious.  It's easy to find images of Donald Trump as a diaper-wearing baby, the left wasn't offended by that, so what's the problem?

I think it's becoming more evident that those in charge of the left really don't have any good ideas.  They have an enormous amount of influence and can hold their people together a lot more than you might expect - a lot more than any rational person could - but their ability to do anything meaningful is very limited.  More importantly, they can't really convince people, at most they can brainwash them at an early age.
