□ [“Postmaster General Tells Congress USPS Won't Deliver Mail-In Ballots to States That Don't Comply with Trump's Election Integrity EO"]

Trump's order requires a set-up of specific requirements to verify the voters, names, addresses, etc.  This must be in place 60 days before the election, so early September, about two and a half months from now.  It sounds like a good idea although I'm not sure the Post Office could be trusted on this.  Naturally Democrat states refuse to comply, this will probably have some very complicated legal battles that need to rush through the courts.

For convenience, I'll just assume Democrats will win all these battles and can commit as much fraud as they want.  But they don't realize that there's no reason anyone should trust these results.  Furthermore, I have to wonder if the Trump administration has plans in place for that.  Perhaps they'll mail in obvious fake votes, making the point that anyone can use it and the Democrats-in-charge are responsible for that.

I think fewer Americans support this leftist rush for tyranny than there were in 2024, the problem is that the left is much louder about it now.  Otherwise they couldn't pretend to be a majority.  I'm looking at other news stories today and Democrats have gone all-in on taking power by any means necessary.  Haven't decided if I'll cover any of those stories yet but it shows exactly why I've been predicting Civil War 2.0 for so long.  We cannot be in the same country with these insane creatures and they cannot accept anything that isn't absolute power.

□ [“Netherlands Euthanizes First Child After Law Expansion Included Children Ages 1-12"]

Heads, the government has a way to kill you, tails, the government has a way to kill you.  This is what European elites have wanted for decades and here it is.  How is this not 'death worship?'  How can anybody be eager for their government to actively kill its citizens?  More importantly, how come these same people never demand criminals be included?

The French kid's death is just a common event with the invasion.  The gang even posted video of the beating on social media.  These are not people who have any interest in co-existence.  They believe they can get away with it - they always have so far - so there's no reason to stop now.  And they're just one small gang among many in this part of France, never mind what's being done in the rest of Europe.

The euthanizing is just late-term abortion.  Soon they'll start expanding the reasons for it and won't need consent.  Meanwhile the invaders don't have any interest in this, it's just for native Dutch.  This makes me wonder if these two goals were always tied together or if they just arrive together by total convenience.  Or perhaps the European elite requires death so the invaders just see a lot of empty land to take over.

□ [“Trump Refuses to Sign Bipartisan Housing Bill Citing 'National Emergency'”]

This doesn't make much sense.  It's not clear what this bill is about but Elizabeth Warren and Maxine Waters were in charge of it so I'm sure it's a bad idea.  Trump is just making noise because they haven't passed the SAVE America Act.  But that won't make a difference, the bill will be automatically passed unless Congress goes out of session.

Wait, will they be officially out of session for the 4th of July weekend?  If so, that does make more sense, it would indicate that this was planned precisely so Trump could make a point about the SAVE America Act.  On the other hand, if they're just on a break and not out of session, the bill becomes law anyway.

An A.I. internet search says they will be in session.  That's probably deliberate, someone shows up for a minute or two each day, that will protect the bill.  This means Trump's only other option would be a veto which he's not doing.  That's why this makes no sense, if he doesn't want the bill, why isn't he vetoing it?  What does it do that he's willing to accept for some other reason?  I never thought I'd be someone barking that the POTUS has to veto a bill unless he supports it, I know there are other aspects in play, but here we are.

□ [“Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT)  Floats Wild Theory That Trump Is Being Paid by Iran Regime"]
□ [“Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA)  Says Trump is Taking a New Terminal Illness Drug"]

The party just purged some people in primaries - mostly NY, or at least those are the ones that got attention - and their highest-ranking have immediately jumped to this?  It's hard to figure out how to describe this, other than 'wtf is wrong with them?'  This isn't about devoting time and energy to the immediate gains, this is the people-in-charge rushing to push as much delusion as possible.

The basic accusations make any details they add unbelievable just by connection.  Then there's how the left always accuses others of what the left is already doing.  Lieu never had any problems with Joe Biden's condition but is somehow obsessed with Trump.  Murphy claims Trump is somehow using crypto currency to get bribes from Iran and using arguments like 'no POTUS has ever done that before.'  It's just the sort of idiocy that there's no point paying attention to, and these people will be back tomorrow for more, and next week, next month...  They've both been in Congress over ten years and have no plans to leave.

I get that they're all insane but how could junior-level Democrats look up at nonsense like this and say 'yeah, we need more of that!'  This just comes off as an example of the elites living in their own world which they usually keep hidden.  They let it work its way down the ladder to the commoners, not just bark out that this is the way things are and they expect compliance.  Every time I get negative that the left will find some way to steal victory and RINOs will help them do it, we get something like this showing that they can't even make up a coherent conspiracy.  Or maybe they got this from Iran with the recent crypto-payments.
