□ [“Iranian Regime Posts Video Targeting Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Family"]

This is unusual.  It's understandable that they'd target anyone in Trump's cabinet or other high-ranking officials, just to prove they can, but beyond that I don't see why'd go after the Treasury Secretary.  I don't get what he's doing that would require a response on him specifically.  Bessent is working to prevent immigrants who receive government money from sending it out of the country, that's something.

This also happened because the Wall Street Journal posted his home address so he'd be easy to target, that's a big deal.  They are actively helping the enemy.  There are other ways to do this, they could target Nancy Pelosi and then blame Trump when she dies from a bombing.  Then there's all the possible ways to use drones, against Pelosi, Bessent or anyone else.  I'm not even sure how you'd stop this, beyond surrounding properties with drones to take out any other drone that comes close.  Not a foolproof solution but it's the best one coming to mind.

Then there's all of this happening in a short period of time.  For convenience I'll blame Iran but it's obvious that China, Russia and others would be involved, along with domestic opponents.  Most of these center around transportation or computers, more relevant targets than the Treasury Department.  It's not just the damage and chaos, it's also another excuse to blame Trump for not preventing this so incoming Democrats can demand more power to stop the enemy they support.  It's still not clear why these attacks would all be happening immediately after the election instead of waiting a few more months, but here they are.

That's probably why I blame Iran because they'd be the most desperate to handle this immediately.  It's also a serious question how many people they have on the inside able to sabotage US assets like this.  I'm thinking of a couple weeks ago when European governments started telling people to get back-up supplies, that might be a serious issue very quickly.  If they can hit this much all at once, it can go global any minute.  That's not even counting the election theft here or elsewhere in the world.

□ [“Trump warns Democrats:  You can investigate us, we can prosecute you"]

This is the most effective defense I've seen in the last week and a half.  The left is incapable of self-restraint and are looking to punish anyone they don't like.  They've already got the 'guilty' verdicts ready, no trial needed.  But they don't realize that they're caught in a trap set by their own authority.

Congress can't just decide to investigate someone or require them to testify.  There needs to be a specific reason based on the laws which Congress itself has passed.  The obedient left doesn't care, they just want to persecute everyone who doesn't agree with them.  But they have no authority to do this and their own lawyers will point that out before they even get around to sending subpoenas.

Which leads to the second part of the trap.  Of the subpoenas that do get out, that specifically relate to actual laws and legitimate Congressional authority, the Trump administration already has the evidence.  They'll be able to point to documents and official approval of whatever the leftists are aiming at.  They'll also be able to point to Democrats doing the exact same thing and getting away with it.  If Congress really wants prosecutions, they can get started right away.

Just take an easy example, Trump supposedly had top secret documents at Mar-a-Lago.  Wanna punish him for that?  Joe Biden did the same thing and they weren't even as secure in his garage.  Hillary Clinton did the same thing and they were on her unprotected server.  Right there Trump can point to two examples of precedent which Congress refused to apply the laws to everybody.  If you want to arrest Trump for this, you have to arrest Hillary and Biden.

But wait, the statute of limitations is past, they're allowed to get away with their crimes.  Then you'll need to call in the people who allowed them to get away with doing exactly what you want to punish Trump for.  That means Obama and his administration need to answer some questions, this includes Biden and Hillary.  You're back to either ignoring the laws when it's convenient or applying them to your own people or just saying anybody can get away with it, including Trump.

I hope, really hope, pray, beg, that the Trump administration is prepared for this.  That this was what they've been waiting for and it's why the elections were allowed to be stolen like they were, precisely to catch the enemy in this trap.  The left who just rushes to emotion-based punishment because they can will have to turn against their own protectors and the elitist monsters who've imposed this on us know that they're next.  Because I don't see any way this could go that isn't a total disaster for civilization going over the cliff.

□ [“Chuck Schumer Gets a Challenger in Race to Be the Next Senate Majority Leader"]

More struggles for power.  Schumer turns 76 in a couple weeks, he's another target to get rid of the old people in charge.  That said, he clearly has knowledge and experience his aspiring replacement wouldn't have and even more that the incoming socialists have no clue about.  I'd go 50-50 on who will win.  Maybe Schumer can impose his will without a problem, maybe they'll ignore him and he'll see how irrelevant he is, except in following his subordinates around.

There's also a good chance this is more like Bernie Sanders running in 2016 and 2020.  It's not so much that the opponent wants to be in charge himself, he wants to make sure everyone else is aligned with his goals.  That's what Hillary and Biden did, nothing resembling leadership.  They just wanted to sit on the throne, Bernie and his people could make all the decisions.

There are still protestors at Congress, looks like old white people with nothing else in their lives.  They'll give up as soon as the temperature drops but they need to act like they're the ones making the demands.  But the media might find a use for them and they can still pretend people are invested in this.  A "revolution" needs to be ongoing, we'll see if they're ready for that this time.

□ [“'We Don’t Need a Deal' Trump Pulls Vance from Iran Negotiations — He'll Go After Blue-State Corruption"]

I'm ambivalent about this.  Ok, go after the corruption, although you could have been doing that for almost two years now.  But what about Iran?  I'm not sure why Vance was involved but also not sure why he needs to be taken out.  Why now?

The big problem is that it looks like they're breaking up.  We really really really don't need that, especially not publicly.  We don't need to know what Vance is doing and what are we supposedly negotiating with Iran anyway?  But this comes out, implying that Trump doesn't think Vance is doing the job and Vance probably disagrees on this.  That interpretation may be completely off-base but that's the point, we don't know and there's no reason to hear about this.

I'd like to think this was part of the plan to go after the corruption but they've had years to do this.  You don't need to a lose an election to get started.  It's safe to assume Marco Rubio will be the next main target.  We're going to find out how many people Trump really inspired to carry on and how many were just Trump fans or otherwise connected to him.  We saw that with the 'tea party' movement twenty years ago.  They didn't have Trump or anyone who could keep people connected over time.

And it's also possible this is fake news, presenting a non-existent split between the two leaders.  That would certainly help Iran and the corrupt blue states.  The overall sense of confusion also helps them.  You can make an argument that this is what Trump, Vance and Rubio have been fighting all along but they still haven't reached coherent reality.  That's why our enemies are winning so much.
