□ [“Return of the Shah is Possible As Protests Increase; Russia Reports That Mullahs Might Flee"]

The left has been so overwhelmed by their support for Madura, now they need to side with the mullahs too.  Anything that makes Trump look good, they oppose it, no exceptions.  I've been trying to ignore them for the time being because what's going on in Iran is more important but unfortunately the left isn't as easy to ignore as I'd like.

Not sure if Russia reports the same thing to its people that it reports to the rest of the world because that would be significant.  If Iran is an ally and Russia is telling its own people that Iran's leaders are done and will be looking for new jobs, that's a big deal.  Not sure what it means if Russia is reporting this differently to its own people, who is the media telling the truth to and why?  It's speculated that the mullahs would be moving there, as Assad did when Syria overthrew him.

I'm still optimistic, reportedly the protests are growing, even some city officials are turning to side with them.  But I'm not sure they have enough yet and I'm not sure what they would need to make the overthrow happen.  Don't really have any justification but I've always had the impression the mullahs are better at self-restraint that most despots.  I'm not aware that they constantly come up with new things people need to do for constant distraction, that's why the mullahs have been able to handle big protests before.

□ [“House Passes 3-Year Extension on Obamacare Subsidies in 230-196 Vote — 17 Republicans Join Dems"]
□ [“Senate Votes 52-47 to Advance Venezuela War Powers Resolution to Limit Trump’s Military Actions"]

Neither bill is likely to pass in the other house and Trump is willing to veto these bills if they pass anyway, so what is Congress doing?  They've clearly gotten together to push the next phase of Trump Derangement but I really don't see the point here.  It's not going to convince anybody to side with them.  The ones who want Obamacare are already with you and the Venezuela war has already been over for a while.

I guess that's why these come off as so strange and unrelated.  Maduro was targeted as a criminal, not a national leader.  Obama and Biden used this too when offering rewards for his arrest, this just shows that the left is lying to their audience.  So then what about Obamacare subsidies, where people at least know they get other people's money to pay for this stuff.  Maybe the uniparty is just trying to show that they don't always go along with Trump but that just seems stupid, so what else is the point?

The Senate is also arguing about a "second reconciliation," whatever that means but its point would be to start hitting some of the ways fraudsters operate.  And again, most Republicans side with Democrats, they're all fine with the way things are now.  As unproductive as Congress has been for the last year, when they actually try to get something done *this* is what they come up with.  As if you didn't have enough reason to hate politicians.

□ [“Tim Walz Mobilizes National Guard as Minneapolis Spirals Into Chaos"]

He didn't do that when BLM was burning cities down.  He hasn't done that when illegal immigrants kill Minnesotans.  But now he suddenly has a reason just because some lesbian didn't kill the guy she tried to drive over with a car.  Walz and Keith Ellison are being investigated by the DoJ for taking part in Somali fraud so this is an excuse to make people forget about that.

They're trying to make this spread.  School in Minneapolis has been cancelled for a while so everybody can go out and protest - and still get paid.  In Portland, more people were shot after trying to run over Border Patrol.  The media is trying to push their puppets even further into this.  In a way, they have no other options, their side isn't getting much federal funding anymore, so they need to act soon.

Will Trump use the Insurrection Act and send in more military?  I think he's justified but a lot of people disagree, probably even some who work for Trump.  We're also hearing about the driver who's just coming off more and more as an expendable tool.  The lesbian couple lived in Kansas City, but hated Trump so they moved to Canada, but for some reason didn't like it there either so they had gone back to Minnesota where they started trying to block federal agents.  Were they paid for this?

The driver couldn't hold a marriage or a job but did get trained by “ICE Watch” on how to go after these federal agents.  So basically she just did what she was told, like leftists do.  Her wife even made sure to get out of the vehicle to film her trying to drive over a federal agent.  Probably didn't say 'be careful you don't get shot' and look how that worked out.

We know the left will keep pushing this.  They'll try to get as many of their people shot as possible so they can "inspire" more.  I don't think that will really work but it will have some affect in the short-term.  And as much as possible they'll make it happen in other blue cities.  They're trying to get as many people as possible to resist but how many will actually be capable of doing anything?

□ [“‘Authority of a Special Counsel’ Vance Announces New Assistant AG to Investigate Fraud Nationwide"]

Isn't this just doing more of what DOGE did a year ago?  And why did they wait for so long to start doing anything about this?  On one hand, this sounds like an obvious, sensible thing to do.  On the other hand, it just comes of as something that won't be very relevant, will take a long time and isn't going to get anywhere.  Otherwise they'd have done it months ago.

The Somali childcare place that was originally investigated and started this has now gone out of business.  It's almost like they were doing illegal things all along.  Investigator Nick Shirley has released the second part of his scoop, that Somalis are also doing this with transport companies that charge the taxpayer but provide no vehicles to use.

Somalis are threatening Democrats to shut the hell up about this fraud, or else.  I'm sure most Democrats will obey but some of them might see the problems of obeying this and will look for ways out of the obvious trap.  I'm kind of surprised we've just stayed focused on Somalis since everyone else would be causing these frauds too.
