□ [“Many Democrat Politicians' Children and Relatives Running for Office in 2026 But ‘No Kings!’"]

They must be worried.  They need to keep the wealth they're used to coming in.  They also see themselves as part of the elite, having been born into that class.  This is how you get an aristocracy.  Naturally they need to avoid admitting this so as leftists, their focus is entirely on people who are richer than they are.

What runs much deeper, which they also refuse to notice, is that this contradicts the leftist anti-family position.  They could be insisting that everybody else have as much wealth and power as they do, yet they never ever get that far.  But they do hold very tightly to their own wealth, brought to them by their family.

This is how the passage of time works.  Those who don't reproduce have little to pass on to the next generation - exceptions duly noted - so they vanish.  At least traditional families realize that they need to train their children to become adults, leftism doesn't even do that much.  They try to infect other people's children with this same self-destruction but that's just spreading the disease, not finding a solution.  In the next twenty years, Muslims will probably become the dominant Democratic voting base and the party will have taken a massive shift away from being pro-gay abortions because Muslims want children.

So this is an example of how leftism erases itself.  Yet-another demonstration of why it doesn't work but is deluded enough to believe it's the only way to go.  These rich leftist family members think they're entitled to keep everything as it is and never see that the only chance they have of success is by opposing leftism, whether they realize it or not.

DOJ Looks Into Soros-Backed Virginia Prosecutor Accused of Leniency for Illegal Immigrant Suspects

□ [“Fani Willis Hit With New Allegations Tied to Massive Democrat Money Laundering Scheme"]

Willis is the Georgia prosecutor who was going after Trump no matter what happened.  For some reason, I always separated her vendetta from the other court cases against Trump.  Not sure why but it seemed to stand out differently.  And that continues...

As you may remember - and if you don't, I blame you for making me forget too - she attacked Trump for questioning the Georgia results in the 2020 election.  This state Trump lost by about 11,000 votes and it has recently come out that 315 thousand votes in Fulton County were fraudulently counted.  Those votes presumably went to Biden which is how the election was stolen.  Trump challenged this so Willis needed to prosecute him, even for RICO.

To the extent I paid attention it, the case basically fell apart because she was having a workplace affair with the prosecutor.  She was required to drop out and nobody else was willing to take her place so the case was dropped, especially since they hadn't found anything guilty.  Since then it has come out that she was paying her boyfriend for working 160 hours a week which is impossible to do.

And now the actual fraud has started being exposed.  She said it was racist to challenge her on anything but she had to turn in financial documents to the court, probably trying to justify paying her married boyfriend.  These documents show that she received millions of dollars in campaign contributions, almost all of them from people who didn't list their names or address.  Georgia law says that's not required for donations less than $100 but these people donated many many times, and to many other Democrats, including but not limited to the DNC, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren and Hakeem Jeffries.

Willis isn't the problem, it's the giant operation to send in tons of money from officially-unknown sources.  This may be why the party is so obviously desperate because they've been part of it for so long.  That's not counting all the other financial scandals and the fact that governments they're in charge of keep losing so much money despite insanely-high taxes.  This is definitely the sort of thing Trump was elected to expose.  I'll continue to disagree with him if I see a reason but the only criticism here is that he's not going fast enough.

□ [“Trump Tasks Military With Venezuela ‘Oil Quarantine,’ Economic Pressure Over Military Action"]

Once again, Trump is showing that he's not after a war, despite what the left is reciting mindlessly.  He's sent the military there because it's better to have it ready and not need it than to need it and not have it ready.  They're preventing boats from getting in or out, so Venezuela is running out of places to store oil and tankers can't come in to get more.  That will be a huge hit and isn't even considering what else they have going in or out.

We'll also see what connections they have with other countries.  An Iranian-linked tanker has been stopped.  I'm guessing that China and Russia have voluntarily decided to drop out of helping their fellow BRICS partner which will cause even more problems for Venezuela.  I'm sure we have special forces on the ground, trying to start a rebellion - those of us who've been to Pine Land may remember how that works - but it's not about war.  The left doesn't understand that and Maduro may not either.

I just noticed that we officially started this blockade of oil tankers 10 days ago.  It wasn't hidden, Trump just announced to the world what we were doing and why.  There are valid military reasons why this might be false but I have to admit I'm impressed at the fact that he came out and said this.  Usually you just avoid the topic but he's just being upfront.  It probably also appeals to the showman in him.  We are doing other things that are kept secret - he recently told a reporter that when asked something about Venezuela - but I really like the intention to be as open as possible about this stuff.

□ [“Trump Goes Off After DOJ Finds 1 Million More Epstein Files – 'Release all of Their Names, Embarrass Them, and Get Back to Helping our Country'"]

So by now we can say that the whole delay was about embarrassing Democrats.  That's fine but I will admit that this doesn't seem to be that useful.  All of a sudden the SDNY has found another million documents on Epstein.  Is there any reason to think they're real?  Is there any reason to think they haven't been altered over all these years?  For that matter, why do they still exist?  And why should anybody believe any of this?

There doesn't seem to have been any change since a bunch of photos were released a week ago.  There are big names included, Bill, Hillary, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, probably others.  And there's files but of course there's lots of redaction.  That's definitely something I think we're all tired of.  It's also noted that these have all been "unclassified" documents.  The "classified" ones are still hidden from the public.  How convenient.

Some information is coming out.  One file shows emails between Epstein and Kathy Ruemmler, a high-level attorney that Obama was almost ready to pick for Attorney General.  It had to have been his second term, Obama's main AG was someone he was close to for a long time [ahem] but the emails between the two were long after Epstein was first charged with molesting children.  She knew and didn't care, interesting.  She even tried to help him just before his arrest in early 2019 so they were close, just like the Democrat congressman from the Virgin Islands.
