These are the important news events of the day. Now let's get drunk and play ping-pong.

My favorite scene was when Amazing Man and She-Robot learned that they hadn't been brainwashed by The Vector.  It was actually a duplicate from planet Phredactic that made them believe they had turned against each other.  But love won over everything,
How come more people don't realize how deep and meaningful these stories are?

□ [“Philly DA Threatens to Handcuff and Jail ICE at Philadelphia Airport: ‘The President Cannot Pardon You!’"]

This is more just putting out propaganda, knowing that the left will applaud without hesitation.  He makes sure to add that he's only talking about those who are breaking the laws and not mentioning any laws they're breaking.  Why single them out for persecution when as a DA you should be going after any lawbreaker?  He's doing it for attention.  This might help him get promoted, either in government or the political party.

The conflict is still going through the legal system.  Few of us would understand it and not even people part of the system get it.  I'm not even sure the Supreme Court understands everything and they have authority and experience, the rest fall under their employers or political parties.  This DA is obviously doing the latter, not sure he even realizes that.

One of the most wearying parts of Civil War 2.0 is that we still don't know what the teams are, much less who is on which team, much less if there's any progress being made.  It is possible that the federal government made plans for this, which may explain why Congress is basically worthless and the Supremes aren't that involved while the lower courts are just making up whatever they can get away with.  Of the many reasons to criticize Trump, it's the fact that there's no reason to think we'll even be in sight of victory before January 2029 and we have no clue what things will be like at that point.

□ [“Philippines Declares National Energy Emergency in Response to Blockade of Strait of Hormuz"]

I still can't believe Ferdinand Marcos Jr. is back as President.  But anyway...

Another problem we're having with the Iranian conflict is the way it's spreading problems around the region and from there around the world.  We don't think of the Philippines that much but they're still there and they still have to deal with this too.  Other countries are involved and we don't know where they'll be going.

A lot of it comes from the chaos in the Middle East and all the connections they've been building over decades.  Then there's China's relevance in the region, as well as their allies.  Wouldn't surprise me if Africa is having a lot of problems with this and that's not counting Europe.  Iran is desperate enough, they need to use every weapon they have and a lot of those weapons are already on our territory.

Then there's the question of nuclear weapons and bioweapons.  Those are still out there.  I think that's a major reason Trump's been negotiating with nations like China.  Whatever else is going on, we don't want the conflict getting that big and they probably don't either.  Hopefully.  For the most part, Europe is irrelevant there because we already control whatever weapons they have as NATO.  But there's still more problems in the world.

□ [“Senator Chris Murphy Caught on Tape ‘The People We Care Most About Are the Undocumented’"]

I think everybody is feeling it but I suspect the left is the most exhausted by Civil War 2.0.  The problem is that they believe it so much and always have.  Add that to the lack of emotional control and they're getting tired, weary, unable to keep things straight.  We see that with judges making up whatever laws they want, leftists trying repeatedly to come up with protests and boycotts.  They're supporting the Iranian mullahs against the US and sending transgenders out to shoot people.  And here we have elected officials openly ignoring their own laws.

At least the right-wingers can get up in the morning and go to work.  Now that DOGE has cut a lot of expenses, the people who relied on DEI have a hard time finding a new job and businesses are starting to see who is reliable and who isn't.  And unlike Murphy, these people won't rely on unvetted new guys to make things happen.

Arguably the best reason for hope these days is that the left is just so weak-minded that they're going to give up.  But before they do that they'll go bonkers and everybody will see it.  Many on their side will stop to think about this, realizing that they really don't want to side with these lunatics.  Murphy said this on tv, MSNBC in 2024 so no wonder nobody noticed at the time.  But now anybody hearing of it will have to keep the last two years in mind and see who their masters really prefer.

□ [“California Gubernatorial Debate Canceled, Only White Candidates Qualified for the Event"]

Just a couple years ago, there were several white candidates running in the Democrat primaries.  They didn't get much attention because the media had already made their pick but they declared their candidacies by October 2023 and didn't drop out until well into 2024.  One of them, Dean Phillips, had been in Congress for several years and only left in 2025.  At least he has a very very very rich family to fall back on, that's why he's a Democrat.

Anyway, California is still pushing skin color as the priority for elections so it's safe to assume that they're going to do the same thing here.  They will install a non-white non-male as candidate who is guaranteed to win without having to face any competition.  Nobody is going to say 'just pick the best candidate!'  They'd get fired if they spoke out that way.

It really is unbelievable how an entire state as large as California could be so crippled by its own beliefs and nobody dares to challenge it.  They're all devoted to this and cutting down their own candidates.  If China isn't already using it as a Forward Operating Base, they'll soon be begging for help.  They can't rebuild after the fires over a year ago, they can't build a railway in ten years, almost twenty since they approved it and thirty years since the California High-Speed Rail Authority was founded to start working on it.
