Because I wore so many shoes, I thought I'd get a job selling them. Every day a fat woman would come in to buy some shoes. But none of them was Jenny.

□ [“Trump Says Peace Deal is 'Largely Negotiated' – Agreement in Reopening the Strait of Hormuz"]

He's been saying this for months.  Well, month at least, Ayatollah whatsisname was still alive three months ago.  He's also kept changing the status of the Strait.  We already know that there will be no ending until the mullahs and the IRGC are out-of-power so why even bother telling us whatever the latest negotiations are about?

The most-recent agreement came from Iran, which isn't a good sign anyway.  It's usually the winners who do that, is there something Trump isn't telling us?  Today there was a conference call with a lot of Middle Eastern countries and then later a discussion with Israel.  It sounds like they're all on the same page but it's not clear what there is to negotiate about at this point.

There's still all the other elements that are tied with Iran, a lot of whom we don't know about.  China and Russia are the most obvious guesses.  There's the strait, there's the oil market, there's the funding for terrorism.  All this stuff would tie in with a lot of other countries, organizations, businesses, etc.  Negotiations have to handle as many of these as possible and preparations have to be made for those that aren't included.  You don't think they've had long-standing ties with Cuba and Venezuela?  They might be cut off now but that's a very recent change.

I really didn't expect this to still be going three months later.  I thought we'd wipe out the military and Iranians would rise up to overthrow the regime.  Guess not.  Militarily it looks like this was handled fine, few casualties at all on our side.  Peace through strength works really well.  But the longer this goes on, the worse it looks for Trump.

□ [“Democrats Calling on DNC Chair Ken Martin to Resign Over 2024 Election Autopsy"]

Unless he's got some blackmail to use - and it's quite likely that he does - he'll be gone quickly.  The leftists need someone to blame and he's a white male.  He lost the election, he got this report and said he'd release it but didn't until the party started pestering him about it.  Kamala Harris demanded it come out, I bet she's not going to be happy.

There's also a fair chance he'll be replaced by David Hogg, the vice-chair who was kicked out after three months.  He wanted to challenge Democrats in the primaries and was just generally annoying but the party is probably desperate enough to beg him to come back.  Anything to avoid actually learning what mistakes they made and, dare I say it, trying to fix them.

These problems will get bigger.  The party leaders want to keep pushing left but a lot of normal Democrats are sick of that, assuming they ever really supported it anyway.  The congressmen demanding Martin resign are another problem, they're superdelegates.  Congress, governors, living POTUS and veeps, they get a voice in the party that the lower-classes don't.  Then there's all the Democrats who are just obsessed with abortion, imaginary genders or Islam.  They won't be happy if the party tries appealing to normal people.  Martin was at least able to hold the party together for a year or so, who else can even do that much?

□ [“Hundreds of Dangerous Cook County Criminals ‘Completely Untraceable’ in Pre-Trial Program"]

Cook County is Chicago.  Given the crimes these people committed, they really have no incentive to show up to court on time if given the chance to avoid it.  If only someone could invent a place to put prisoners where they can't get out.  I guess that's just too complicated a concept for the Democrats who have run Chicago for decades.

Is there any doubt this was deliberate?  I think the only question is the judge was in on this or if he was appointed to this job because he was stupid enough to do what he's told.  Might also be worth looking into if these particular criminals have any other connections - other than all being black - to indicate who was calling the shots for this.

Not sure if the point is to spread chaos or if they're actually going to go after someone.  We also should consider the possibility that it really was just incompetence.  Probably not but it's as believable as anything else.  I doubt the point was to release anybody specific, any violent criminal is interchangeable with the others as far as the decision-makers are concerned.

□ [“Seattle Homeless Man Who Kidnapped and Raped Girl Had 28 Prior Arrests"]

One reason the left is so incomprehensible is how there's no way to know if they do this deliberately or if they really are so devoted to their fictional political beliefs that they insist everything is fine despite things like this.  If they really are freeing these monsters on purpose, what would they do differently than they're already doing?  Then there's the judges who keep setting him loose for more victims.  At least defense attorneys have a legitimate right to do their job, the judges need to be punished for making this happen.

□ [“Deceased Shooter Near White House Identified – History of Mental Health Issues, Previously Arrested Trying to Breach White House"]

Tell me the judge actively wanted this 21 year-old to have another chance of killing the POTUS without using those specific words.  It had been less than a year since his last arrest for trying to break into the White House, that is not a crime you should be walking around free from.  And because of that judge, this guy is now dead.  Oh well, he'll find someone else to try again tomorrow.

Trump was probably in the White House right now.  His son was married today and he had to make a public statement that he would not be able to attend because of what he's dealing with in Iran.  I had to wonder if at least part of that came from the Secret Service that he's just not allowed out these days except under very specific conditions.  And those who side with Iran are certainly looking for a way to get rid of him, so activist judges can find useful idiots who are expendable.  They're all on the same side.
