□ [“Brief Timeline of Swalwell’s Epic and Disgusting Fall from Grace"]

I keep saying this story will vanish any moment because the left really can't allow it to continue but since it is still going, they really need to address some big questions about why they were so supportive.  The part that struck me was the video for governor with a bunch of rich people supporting Swalwell.  Adam Schiff and Sean Penn are the only two whose names I recognized but they're all listed, mostly politicians or union leaders.

So what it is about Swalwell that made you side with him so easily?  What did he say or do that let you know this was the best possible choice?  What distinguished him from any other candidate?  If someone else said or did the same things as Swalwell, would they be able to sucker you just as easily?  Sean Penn is the most famous person in the ad - and I still really only know him as Madonna's husband - so I'm really curious if he put any actual work to check into Swalwell and see if there was anything wrong or if he just falls for the lies.

Another article actually names some other celebrities who supported Swalwell, the names you'd expect.  Robert DeNiro, Jane Fonda, he might have been the very last person to get money from Rob Reiner.  So they're all in on him, probably in more ways than one.  That's why this was such a surprise that all of a sudden, he's out.  They were counting on him, now who can they turn to?  And why would you put yourself in that position to begin with?  Don't you do any background checks?  Oh and where is all the money you donated to him going now?

That's why the left needs this story silent and completely past-tense before it hits the media and other politicians.  Swalwell's allies are the main target, and of course they're all liberals.  Then there's the media.  Swalwell was in Congress for a decade and a half, he was running for governor and had run for POTUS in 2020, those would all be good opportunities to check out what this guy is up to when he's not on tv.  Leftist news site Politico says they were investigating him for this POTUS run but he dropped out so that was it.  It means either they didn't try very hard so they never found anything or they did find something and kept it hidden for all these years, helping Swalwell get away with it.

□ [“Former Virginia Democrat Lieutenant Governor Kills His Wife and Himself"]

The highest-ranking black man in Virginia political history to commit a murder-suicide!  It's not just for whitey anymore!

He was elected Lieutenant Governor in 2018, the following year he was accused of a bunch of sexual assaults and rape.  Not enough to get him kicked out of office, or even get much media publicity but there he was.  And now he's gone.  He and his wife were getting a divorce but still lived together.

There seem to be a lot of stories like this, low-ranking politicians who find some way to die.  I assume they're in the Uniparty so I rarely even look at what party they're officially in.  Several years ago we were told how Democrats always start running for the highest-ranking jobs, Congress or Governor or POTUS, while Republicans start off in city and county offices.  Haven't heard that for a while and have been wondering if the left managed to get that reversed (assuming it was actually true.)  That might explain more of these deaths, especially with Epstein, P. Diddy, the NXIVM cult and now Swalwell.

So my theory is that these people see that they're close to getting caught and this is the only way to escape.  There are other possibilities, they're just insane, they take a lot of drugs, it's one of those mysterious suicides that needs three headshots and a noose to be really effective.  But I'd like to think it's mostly the same 'you'll never take me alive!' mentality.  It's things like this that make me continue to believe the Trump administration is really trying to get a bunch of secrets released that the left doesn't want us to know.

□ [“Zohran Mamdani ‘Free’ City-Owned Grocery Store Will Cost $30 Million, Won’t Open Until 2029"]

One of those things that shows how leftists ignore reality in numerous ways.  For one thing, actual grocery stores don't cost that much or take that long to open.  Anyone relying on this 'free' grocery store is SOL for the next three years, assuming it opens on schedule.  No one's even going to ask him how his idea can be so good that he won't actually do it for years.  He'll be running for re-election or a different office by then.

Also it was supposed to be "free."  It won't be "free" anymore.  He promises lower prices but that's not what he got votes for.  Did he have no clue how setting up a grocery store worked or was he just lying to gain power?  Either way, why should anyone trust him when he insists the prices will be lower?  He's already gone back on his promise and hasn't even started construction yet.

The worst part is that we know the left will completely ignore this.  To the extent they refer to it at all, they will just produce puff pieces about how great this not-free grocery store will be in the future if it ever gets built.  California did the same thing with their high-speed rail and nobody dares to challenge them about that.

So how many people actually believe this not-free grocery store is a real goal and they're sure it will happen, and how many are just using it to launder taxpayer money?  That's the thing that's really spooky about the left, we have no clue how what percentage of the population is actually in on this.  If NYC has gotten this far, there's no reason to think they won't keep making it worse.

□ [“UK 'Legal' Advisors Tell Muslim Migrants to Lie and Claim That They're Gay"]

But they don't need to *prove* they're gay, they just need to say it and that's enough.  They can even bring their wife.  Oh yeah, she's gay too.  I've forgotten most of what I used to know about Islam but I do remember that lying to the infidel is perfectly acceptable.  IIRC they are able to go further than that.  What is a sin in Islam isn't that bad when done with the infidel, including various types of sex.  So if they really need to prove it, they might be able to find a way.

So that could explain a lot about western politics for the last few decades.  The leftists want more and more immigration, the incoming Muslims unanimously vote with liberals and the *woke* agenda gets pushed harder and harder until the Muslims have taken over the nation.  For convenience I would cite 9/11 as the turning-point for this although you could cite earlier examples.  This is effectively a worldwide version of what happened with Iran in 1979 and then there's the inspiration of Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb.

I'm sure there's more to this - the perversion of rich leftists - but this would go a long way towards gays and trans and child-molesters suddenly getting a lot more social influence and authority than they deserve.  The left falls for it because they're the left.  The Muslims know it's guaranteed to fail but they're in the clear because it's not like they believe in it themselves.  Meanwhile the rest of us are effectively hit from both sides.  The Uniparty would have ways to pass the tests in their respective circles, those who understand leadership and control could manipulate the others.  I'm not sure how to prove this but it looks like a really believable argument of how this has all happened as well as giving us a better clue on who we're fighting.
