□ [“DC Comics Pride Month Issue Features Transgender ‘Wonder Woman’"]

Because comics are always so good at keeping up with what the readers want.  That's why they sell so well.  I wonder how long this decision had been debated throughout the corporate hierarchy until someone finally told an editor to put together a creative team and put this book out.  At least it might have made sense five years ago.

I will admit that unlike virtually every other decades-old corporate IPs, Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston would probably have supported this.  Even if he didn't, he helped make it happen.  I'm seriously wondering what these large comics companies have been aiming for all these decades, especially with a medium and genre considered 'aimed at children.'

I have never been a Wonder Woman fan and to whatever extent I have any respect for the character, this just screams like something she would be opposed to in every possible way.  Which, oddly enough, lines up with why DC is so eager to do this.  You don't need consent from your property to do whatever you want to do to it and you'll decide what gender they are this month.

Maybe it's just a personal view because I've always been a fan of comics, maybe it's because comics are for whatever reason at the heart of pop culture, maybe this is just a convenient example but this is what's being pushed by leftism.  All these huge corporations, Hollywood, IPs, everything along the line is ready to burn.  Every day that passes, more people are willing to stand back and watch it happen.  No heroes will save them.

□ [“Trump Goes Off On Rigged California Election – '3rd World Nation. Rigged Elections!'"]

The non-white female Democrat who dropped out after losing has somehow gotten enough votes in the several days since to now be in second place.  She has over 40,000 more votes than she did on Election Night, there's no record as far as I know of the white male Republican getting a single vote during that time.  There was a two-term Republican mayor during the Clinton years but he's the only non-Democrat in office since JFK's first year as POTUS.  It's a one-party state and that's how Democrats want it.

Trump is making noise about this.  I'm iffy on that.  It's great that he's getting a lot of attention for this and he's usually fun to watch.  I am still ambivalent if the POTUS should really be doing this even though it clearly is something that needs to be done.  Perhaps that's why he made a point of campaigning in California a couple years ago to set the grounds for this.  He did make a point of insulting a leftist reporter, which was entertaining, but then why did he let her talk to him in the first place?  She hosts Meet the Press and worked to help Biden in the 2024 debate.

The city council districts show this is a one-party state and the few exceptions are probably deliberate.  Of the fifteen districts, ten of them haven't voted Republican since the 1960s.  One district has been solid Republican, no Democrat since 1948, but the current member went independent in 2020.  Another district had two Republicans in office from 1943 to 1985, that qualifies as an exception.  Two other districts had their Republicans go independent, one just before the Clinton administration, the other just after.  The last district has been Democrat since 2001.  I suspect the only reason they permitted Republicans during these years were to get access to that party to spy on them.

So the country is watching this.  Many things are going on but one reason is probably for incentive to have an unbeatable victory across the nation in the mid-terms.  Just make it too big for them to fake.  Examples were set in 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024 and the recent ones.  Put that to use.  Furthermore, research is being done on the voter fraud.  Nick Shirley has identified a woman who is 126 years old according to the voting roles.  He knocked on her door and she's not 126 years old.  They're putting this together but what use will they make of it?

□ [“EU Sanctions Iran as European Allies Ask Trump to Back Hormuz Demining Mission"]

They're being forced to do something to protect their interests.  Officially a handful of ships are allowed to go through the Strait but otherwise it remains closed.  The EU would like to get back to burning fossil fuel so they're using whatever muscle they have on Iran and preparing to remove the mines Iran has set up across the Strait.  They waited this long to do anything.

Otherwise it does look like Trump has accomplished whatever the point was.  Iranians have not revolted but it might take a while to get that started.  I'm not happy about it but it has been pointed out that some of Eastern Europe took a while to react to the collapse of the Soviet era.  Russia and China still haven't really moved in to help their ally - as far as we know - and the rest of the Muslim world united with Israel against the mullahs.  There's a lot to criticize about how Trump has handled this but he's getting results and with almost no US casualties.

Iran and Israel are still fighting although the news is still very contradictory.  I'm looking at an article now that says Iran has agreed to stop fighting but gives absolutely no details on who or how or why.  Probably just their strange cultural ways but it's irritating that we still see no real point to this.  Iran wants to destroy Israel, we get that, but this is not really the best time.  And doesn't Israel have enough to do in their region?  I guess we can at least be glad that they're taking more of the risk.

□ [“Governor Tim Walz and AG Keith Ellison Knew of Rampant Minnesota Fraud But Said Nothing"]

Another example of Democrats-in-charge covering up for their own people at the cost of everyone else.  Of course they lied, claiming they knew very little about this.  The House Oversight Committee's report points out that they had been informed of this fraud since 2019.  But they've only recently started doing anything about it, after the rest of the country found out.

Of course they'll just say the Republican-led committee is lying.  Gotta admit, that's probably their best option, just to get as many people as possible to side with them.  But those people need to be stupid and/or in on the fraud, normal people will be disgusted that this has gone on so long.  Even worse, we still only know a little of what they've been doing all these years.  Then there's 49 other states...

Civil War 2.0 is here and I think everybody senses it just from the general atmosphere.  Yet it hasn't gone kinetic.  We should still be ready for that and every day has more news stories of wackos in the US killing or trying to kill people but as tense as this is, it still hasn't reached the point of two armed forces headed out to fight.  Whatever there is remains smaller and mostly-ineffective, probably because Trump picked military leaders with experience handling Baghdad and similar areas.  Whatever the left has on their side, they aren't prepared for this.
