□ [“Armed Anti-ICE Protesters Camp Outside Maine Facility ‘If They Want to Start a Firefight, I Will Return Fire. This is a Civil War.’"]

Well they're admitting it.  Well that's a bit iffy, they always say this.  But this time it sounds like they're willing to take it a bit more seriously.  IIRC Maine is slightly more sensible on the use of weapons and they're at or near the woods so if I were them, why not do some target practice?  Show the enemy what they're up against.  Of course there's the basic idiocy of assuming ICE will start the firefight.  If they don't then you're just sitting around, wasting time.

Just a guess but I'm assuming the gun-owners are actually more sane and restrained than most leftists.  The others are just advocating violence.  The Charlie Kirk murder was where they became open about it.  In Texas, a lunatic dressed as a wizard assaulted TPUSA students.  In Miami a college student was arrested for offering money to kill political opponents.  This is closer to the stereotypical leftist than the ones in Maine.  No self-control with their own actions and willing to just tell others to do the real work.

But these armed protestors don't even notice the basic contradiction, it's their own side who wants them disarmed.  Their words right here would be enough to disarm them if ICE or the Trump administration was remotely interested in that.  Maybe they self-identify as being the ones in charge so of course they'll be allowed to have weapons in the 'new world order,' it's everyone else who must be disarmed.

I don't want to be remotely optimistic but it is true the left will have internal conflicts about this and as we can see, it's already becoming public.  They're going to threaten anyone they disagree with, some of them will be armed and they believe they're at war so any rules can be ignored.  For the elites-in-charge, it may just be about increasing the chaos on the ground but for the majority of people, that's no way to live, even if they voted for this.

And just a note, they're clearly going to set-up another stunt along the lines of 'January 6' where Republicans refuse to accept these stolen elections.  Banning guns may be the main goal because this time they know we'll be armed.  Even if we have all gone on strike and are nowhere to be found, they'll just have their people pretend to be right-wingers on a violent rampage.

'Muh Democracy' Democrats Work to Overturn Gender Ballot Issues

□ [“House Democrats Threaten Companies That Did Business with Trump Administration"]

It's the most convenient way to gain more power and control.  They're targeting *everybody* but obviously there are far too many businesses to handle so they'll pick and choose who they actually want to go after.  People they don't like, or who don't pay enough bribes, or just sending a message to everyone else, 'this could be you!'  Meanwhile it'll give them time to put their cronies in place.

It's a which easily turns against its own people.  A newly-elected Ohio Democrat is already complaining about the pressure they're putting on him to support Hakeem Jeffries as House Speaker.  It's only been a few days and he's already gone public?  This shows the internal struggles among the party members, making them quite vulnerable to those who actually have discipline.  Post-Civil War South, post-revolution Russia, post-WWI Germany, there are precedents for this.  But the left insists they had nothing to do with any of that.

□ [“Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Moved to Military Base Due to Threats From Iran"]

And this is global.  Partially it's carpetbaggers coming in to scam, partially it's continuing the war.  Russia did this to Germany and Europe after both world wars.  This is where we'll find out who really has organization and discipline.  The left is impossible to predict, will they obey or go their own insane direction?  Whoopi Goldberg is already barking out orders.  Even Joe and Jill Biden were just attacked in Ireland as anti-Israel protestors threw bottles at them.

To the extent I still believe Trump 2.0 actually has a long-range plan for this - it's about as likely as Sydney Sweeney calling to ask me out for dinner - this does look like what would be expected.  I'm sure they'll clamp down and make everybody as obedient as they've been for the last two years but that could be quite a challenge.  They'll need to show that they will get rid of people without hesitation and that includes their own die.  'If you're not with us, you're against us.'

□ [“James Gun Blocked from Finishing Man of Tomorrow?!  Skydance to Save DC with Final Edit"]

This was an immediate move on him, similar to how Disney got rid of Kathleen Kennedy.  Gunn was a bit worried, that's why he suddenly started talking about how he'd add Batman and Wonder Woman to the franchise, but that was as far as he'd go.  He clearly believed his position was safe and the sycophants wouldn't disagree with him.  No would dare point out that all the releases from his franchise made less money than the 2016 Batman v. Superman movie which wasn't even the biggest hit of the previous reboot.

I've only seen a little bit but we're expecting his sycophants to rant and rail online.  At least that could be entertaining in these dark days but even that will probably be tiresome very quickly.  The whole point is these people can't produce anything worth watching, even to embarrass themselves.  I suspect that's just in their nature as leftists, pushing the "agenda" is all that matters to them and they don't care about the cost.

I'm guessing there was a deeper plan with this batch of movies and the next Superman flick was supposed to continue on that, this is why Gunn doesn't even get to finish it.  It might have been the specific reason he was fired on the spot, so he couldn't push this another moment.  There were plenty of other reasons to get rid of him but his contract expires next year anyway so they could have just waited.  That might have been better, less fan backlash, less attention to the franchise right now when it really needs to go away for a while, yet they had to cut him off here.

□ [“Bruce Springsteen Fan Club Shuts Down Over His Politics, Endorsement of El-Sayed"]

I assume this isn't a big deal for Springsteen who is too old and rich to care what anybody else thinks.  The club was founded on August 7, 2015 and I was wondering what was going on in Bruce's life at that point to make a fan club relevant to anybody.  Well, on August 6, he was on the final Daily Show with Jon Stewart so there might have been political relevance.  But now even his fans are tired of that.

This isn't about Springsteen, he could vanish forever and his legacy is whatever it is.  But it does indicate a change in the overall political conflict, that people just aren't going to put up with this any longer.  That applies to both sides and will be most obvious in the fields that are supposed to appeal to as many people as possible.  But as we see, that's not what leftists do.  We also saw that with Lindsay Clancy and Lucy Craig, and isn't it amazing how long ago that seems?

I think this is the sort of thing that's too big to measure until after it's happened.  Each individual is deciding for themselves which side they're on.  The left is louder about it but they're also more willing to pretend to believe in this.  It's not the mass-strike I keep endorsing but it's closer and is most obvious in fields like this.  An internet Springsteen fan club itself is irrelevant, no way to know if they're all 'bots.  But real people are doing the same thing, slowly and quietly, disconnecting from the enemy.
