□ [“Cambridge's Fabulous Fabulist Jason Arday Found Dead, Assumedly By His Own Hand"]

This guy was getting a lot of attention for the last week or so.  I think he was the youngest black professor ever hired by the University of Cambridge.  He was hired because of DEI and I generally avoided the news on him, it sounds like everything he'd done had been a complete fake and plagiarist which the university was aware of and protected him because of skin color.  I might have the specifics wrong but it looked like a standard leftist scheme, one reason I didn't pay much attention to it.  He had just resigned from Cambridge.

And now he's found dead.  So far no obvious cause has been given, it was "unexpected" but nothing "suspicious."  Given how all the elites at Cambridge supported him - and the university is over 800 years old so we're taking serious elitism - there's every reason to think he was murdered so he won't give out any secrets.  The media will report that it was definitely "suicide" and that'll be that.  The murderers may have come from many possible places, he was black after all.

That said, it's entirely possible this was just a suicide.  He'd never had to face the consequences of his actions before and had no idea how to handle it, so this may have been the only way out.  It's also quite possible that everyone who worked for him will blame whitey.  They've never had to face consequences either and aren't going to start now.  That's what England has been reduced to.

The war continues in it's usual senseless way.  First of all, there's no reason for DC to allow this.  Second of all, this guy will be spied on 24/7 so what's the point?  He'd be checked before bringing in a new bioweapon and what other options are there?  He's not going to communicate to anybody, maybe he's just there to be ready when something else happens.  Who knows, maybe this is a peace offering from China and he's in charge of turning in some other spies.

□ [“Trump Imposes 100% Tariffs on Some Chinese Drones Over National Security Concerns"]

But every side has been learning what drones are capable of.  I'm still not sure what they're good for other than spying and bioweapons but I'm sure other possibilities have been found.  It's kind of spooky to think about but the negotiations going on might be including discussions of what can or can't be done with drones in various aspects of war, similar to how nuclear missiles were handled once upon a time.

By now it seems to be agreed that China is the main enemy in this war, the 'final boss' after Iran, leftists, Russia or whoever else.  But because of the way it's going, it's not obvious as far as deploying troops to battlefields.  With drones, we don't even know what that means anymore and that's not counting the economic turmoil.  I've seen reports that China is having an economic crisis but there's no way to know if that's true or how it would affect them.  At this point, even if we die of old age, I'm not sure we'll know what's actually going on in this war.

□ [“Former Columbus, Mississippi Vice Mayor Indicted For Money Laundering, Bid Rigging"]

It's going far too slowly but we are starting to see how party members are using their authority to make themselves rich at taxpayer expense.  Things like this are probably just a natural part of the job, it's why government should be as cheap and powerless as possible, to minimize the number of people who try to get away with this.  But there's also no sense that these people are connected, they were just helping themselves.

□ [“Southern Poverty Law Center Executive Was Sleeping with Prominent Racist and Paid His Bills"]

This is a better example of the leftist conspiracy as their elites get to ignore their own rules.  Little attention has gone to the SPLC funding "racism" so they have something to complain about, the left doesn't want to think about that.  This isn't just individuals helping themselves to a share of the cash, this is overturning their whole party's way of life.  Nothing in the article indicates that either of these two were married but if I had to place a bet, I'd say at least one of them is.  The left really doesn't like marriage so adultery is always a bonus.

Trump and MAGA are the wave that has made this happen, or at least made it so big so quickly, but it's still not doing enough.  These scandals will quickly be forgotten and replaced with others.  No connections that reveal who all the players are here.  One of the left's best weapons is that everyone else just gets tired of this struggle because it never goes anywhere.  All they have to do is wait and they win.  Trump is supposed to be a great showman, he needs to prevent some undeniable wins.  Otherwise anything he's brought will be washed away very quickly.

□ [“CNN:  Michigan Voters Not Impressed with Abdul Mohamed El Sayed 'He is a weak candidate'”]

He's the one getting the most attention of the leftist candidates, probably because of all the attention Muslims in the area have gotten this year.  The uber-leftists are in charge of the party and it's clear to others who badly they're handling it.  Even pet media needs to come out and say these people aren't helping push leftism on the masses.  El-Sayed has tried to delete all his social media posts but too late, he's on record as saying he'll obey shariat law until he dies.

More in this region is coming out.  Muslim voter fraud has been uncovered in Minnesota.  Next Tuesday there will be a Christian protest in Dearborn, Michigan, which is mostly Muslim.  Far-left streamer Hasan Piker is still ranting in public, now he's demanding Democrats everywhere drop everything to help him, even if they don't like him.  I'm sure this guy can be easily replaced but he seems to be significant to someone somewhere, why else would I have a clue who he is?

As much as I criticize the Trump administration not getting things finished, I must admit that this may be the point.  They're giving the enemy time to make themselves look ridiculous and easier to identify.  We've been hearing more recently about how Muslims really don't like dogs.  "Man's best friend" can find a lot of men who side with him against the enemy.  Other Democrats aren't sure how to fight this or even how to admit to it.  I'd like to think this will reach a crescendo in a month or so but we'll see.
