I get the impression that a lot of people are starting to check out Somalis to see what fraud they're up to.  Nick Shirley started checking daycares they owned, which were funded for watching over hundreds of children.  Yet oddly enough, look at the daycares and there are never any children to be seen.  So he started asking people at the daycare about it and they didn't like those questions.

In nearby Ohio, they are looking into Somali-owned grocery stores and restaurants which are located right next to each other and have the same owners.  They use this for more scams, including their polygamous customers.  Just don't mention you're married and the women get all these extra government benefits, as do their children.  Yet again, state and city governments never look into this.

No.  Anything else?

I keep saying this and I've been consistently wrong so far, but he really does seem desperate.  It's like this is the last trick and if he doesn't work, just loot what he can and fly off to Europe for the rest of his life.  The EU has already promised to send troops as soon as the fighting stops, so right there Russia's not going to go along with it and their agreement is kinda required.

It's the pointless delay that really shows what a hoax this is.  He's gotten by fine without any referendums on this war.  Might as well say he needs to wait for the Anti-Corruption Unit to finish their investigation of his administration, which he's keeping them from doing.  I see articles about this regularly and immediately forget them afterwards, a good example of why this is none of our business in the first place and I still curse at Trump for being so deeply involved.

But that's not even getting into what the EU is up to.  Been a little while since they spouted off about the need to send men to die for them or anything like that.  They must have realized it's not getting them anywhere.  As the old saying goes, 'if you want peace, you have to prepare for war' and they've spent decades refusing to do that.  Zelensky can easily get peace without a referendum but it means defying the EU.

Haven't figured it out yet but Trump is clearly working another set-up for the left.  He started renaming stuff right from day one of his second term.  I wonder if there might be a legal reason for it but it's also possibly about hitting the left on their incessant renamings.  It's essentially showing off 'you don't like it when we do it but you keep doing it to us.'  Still haven't figured out the "Gulf of America" though.

With the Kennedy Center, he's doing something similar but not quite the same.  He's added his name to the center to outrage leftists.  I don't think he's really egotistical enough to want that but it's an effective weapon to sue against those who think he is.  The Kennedy Center is some sort of leftist temple so he sticks his name right there to irritate them.  And as we see here, it worked.

Chuck Redd had signed the contract to perform.  He wasn't sick or having some legitimate reason to miss the show, he just decided to cancel at the last minute because Trump's name was on the building.  In a normal ticket-selling industry, that's bad enough.  For a 'non-profit' place like this, it's a big deal.  Not sure what weapon he's just given Trump by refusing to go through with the deal he signed but this could be entertaining to watch.  Apparently Redd performs there every Christmas Eve, I'm sure he's not going to get that offer ever again.

□ [“Illinois Gov. Pritzker Will Prosecute ICE Agents If Democrats Take Power ‘We’re Gathering Evidence’"]

Just going through what I'd written before Trump was re-elected, ICE was going into 'sanctuary cities' even back then, often with the help of known leftist mayors.  That was last year, they knew they had these problems even then.  But the Democrats in charge, like you, didn't care.

I've noticed that the left has unanimously moved over to the 'when we're in charge again' notion.  They see no challenge, they just expect like the sun coming up in the east.  So they're already preparing to impose their tyranny far worse than before.  It's one place I think the Trump administration has clearly made plans.  We've been promised mass inflation all year and that never happened.  None of the wars Trump is accused of wanting have happened.  In 2026 businesses will be able to start really growing so the left will just look idiotic with these claims.  Best of all, there's a lot less danger coming from illegal immigrants and guess who deserves none of the credit.  People like Pritzker.

They must be worried.  They need to keep the wealth they're used to coming in.  They also see themselves as part of the elite, having been born into that class.  This is how you get an aristocracy.  Naturally they need to avoid admitting this so as leftists, their focus is entirely on people who are richer than they are.

What runs much deeper, which they also refuse to notice, is that this contradicts the leftist anti-family position.  They could be insisting that everybody else have as much wealth and power as they do, yet they never ever get that far.  But they do hold very tightly to their own wealth, brought to them by their family.

This is how the passage of time works.  Those who don't reproduce have little to pass on to the next generation - exceptions duly noted - so they vanish.  At least traditional families realize that they need to train their children to become adults, leftism doesn't even do that much.  They try to infect other people's children with this same self-destruction but that's just spreading the disease, not finding a solution.  In the next twenty years, Muslims will probably become the dominant Democratic voting base and the party will have taken a massive shift away from being pro-gay abortions because Muslims want children.

So this is an example of how leftism erases itself.  Yet-another demonstration of why it doesn't work but is deluded enough to believe it's the only way to go.  These rich leftist family members think they're entitled to keep everything as it is and never see that the only chance they have of success is by opposing leftism, whether they realize it or not.

DOJ Looks Into Soros-Backed Virginia Prosecutor Accused of Leniency for Illegal Immigrant Suspects
December 26, 2025

□ [“Fani Willis Hit With New Allegations Tied to Massive Democrat Money Laundering Scheme"]

Willis is the Georgia prosecutor who was going after Trump no matter what happened.  For some reason, I always separated her vendetta from the other court cases against Trump.  Not sure why but it seemed to stand out differently.  And that continues...

As you may remember - and if you don't, I blame you for making me forget too - she attacked Trump for questioning the Georgia results in the 2020 election.  This state Trump lost by about 11,000 votes and it has recently come out that 315 thousand votes in Fulton County were fraudulently counted.  Those votes presumably went to Biden which is how the election was stolen.  Trump challenged this so Willis needed to prosecute him, even for RICO.

To the extent I paid attention it, the case basically fell apart because she was having a workplace affair with the prosecutor.  She was required to drop out and nobody else was willing to take her place so the case was dropped, especially since they hadn't found anything guilty.  Since then it has come out that she was paying her boyfriend for working 160 hours a week which is impossible to do.

And now the actual fraud has started being exposed.  She said it was racist to challenge her on anything but she had to turn in financial documents to the court, probably trying to justify paying her married boyfriend.  These documents show that she received millions of dollars in campaign contributions, almost all of them from people who didn't list their names or address.  Georgia law says that's not required for donations less than $100 but these people donated many many times, and to many other Democrats, including but not limited to the DNC, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, Cory Booker, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren and Hakeem Jeffries.

Willis isn't the problem, it's the giant operation to send in tons of money from officially-unknown sources.  This may be why the party is so obviously desperate because they've been part of it for so long.  That's not counting all the other financial scandals and the fact that governments they're in charge of keep losing so much money despite insanely-high taxes.  This is definitely the sort of thing Trump was elected to expose.  I'll continue to disagree with him if I see a reason but the only criticism here is that he's not going fast enough.

□ [“Trump Tasks Military With Venezuela ‘Oil Quarantine,’ Economic Pressure Over Military Action"]

Once again, Trump is showing that he's not after a war, despite what the left is reciting mindlessly.  He's sent the military there because it's better to have it ready and not need it than to need it and not have it ready.  They're preventing boats from getting in or out, so Venezuela is running out of places to store oil and tankers can't come in to get more.  That will be a huge hit and isn't even considering what else they have going in or out.

We'll also see what connections they have with other countries.  An Iranian-linked tanker has been stopped.  I'm guessing that China and Russia have voluntarily decided to drop out of helping their fellow BRICS partner which will cause even more problems for Venezuela.  I'm sure we have special forces on the ground, trying to start a rebellion - those of us who've been to Pine Land may remember how that works - but it's not about war.  The left doesn't understand that and Maduro may not either.

I just noticed that we officially started this blockade of oil tankers 10 days ago.  It wasn't hidden, Trump just announced to the world what we were doing and why.  There are valid military reasons why this might be false but I have to admit I'm impressed at the fact that he came out and said this.  Usually you just avoid the topic but he's just being upfront.  It probably also appeals to the showman in him.  We are doing other things that are kept secret - he recently told a reporter that when asked something about Venezuela - but I really like the intention to be as open as possible about this stuff.

So by now we can say that the whole delay was about embarrassing Democrats.  That's fine but I will admit that this doesn't seem to be that useful.  All of a sudden the SDNY has found another million documents on Epstein.  Is there any reason to think they're real?  Is there any reason to think they haven't been altered over all these years?  For that matter, why do they still exist?  And why should anybody believe any of this?

There doesn't seem to have been any change since a bunch of photos were released a week ago.  There are big names included, Bill, Hillary, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, probably others.  And there's files but of course there's lots of redaction.  That's definitely something I think we're all tired of.  It's also noted that these have all been "unclassified" documents.  The "classified" ones are still hidden from the public.  How convenient.

Some information is coming out.  One file shows emails between Epstein and Kathy Ruemmler, a high-level attorney that Obama was almost ready to pick for Attorney General.  It had to have been his second term, Obama's main AG was someone he was close to for a long time [ahem] but the emails between the two were long after Epstein was first charged with molesting children.  She knew and didn't care, interesting.  She even tried to help him just before his arrest in early 2019 so they were close, just like the Democrat congressman from the Virgin Islands.

□ [“Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas):  'I see the government shutting down' in January"]

This is from a discussion on a leftist site.  It's Christmas so of course they have nothing to do but talk about politics but there aren't many comments here.  But nobody agreed with her and most comments stated this would be a bad idea.  Some did say it would risk their otherwise-guaranteed victory in the mid-terms but that's about the closest they got to the concept.

I'm not sure how Democrats will go for this - won't they need 60 votes in the Senate? - but I am certain this is a general consensus among them.  Considering how optimistic they were about the shutdown a couple months ago, they don't seem to have found any lasting benefits.  I'm worried that Republicans will cave in and give them bribes to vote for the funding bill.  Otherwise, will they just order those who voted for it last time to go along again?

It's hard to believe, but the federal government has now been reopened longer than it was shut down.  It's not even mentioned anymore.  The left doesn't cite it as any victory.  They don't even remind us how we watched all those people die without a government.  It was this big deal that happened and they've already forgotten about it.  Even those in charge realize that there's no incentive to try it again.

□ [“Gavin Newsom Vows to Eradicate Homelessness in California for the 100th Time"]

He has a good chance for winning the nomination so far but there's already a video of him saying this over and over for years.  I don't know if California actually keeps track of how many homeless they have but it sounds like they have a lot more than they used to, even during the time he's been in charge.  The clips go back to 2009 when he was San Francisco mayor.  Homelessness does seem to be his priority.

With the other recent revelations from DOGE and Somalians, it does sound like this money is just being laundered.  It's been said that California's funding scandals are much worse than Minnesota's and that's quite believable.  So Nancy Pelosi's nephew and his people have just been scamming the taxpayer all these years.  Makes you wonder what they've been doing with all the money from the high-speed railray they were supposed to build.

Then there's all the homes built down in the fire over a year ago.  There are virtually no licenses to rebuild and even fewer have been able to start construction.  The Empire State Building took a little over a year to construct and they had to figure out what they were doing for the tallest building in the world.  California just needs to build some homes for rich people and can't even do that.  Traps are being set for Newsom and his only chance to win the nomination is to have opponents that are even less competent.

□ [“Impossible Terms in Zelensky's 20 Point Ukraine Peace Proposal"]

In a sane world everybody would see this as a joke.  It certainly has no chance of being accepted, it was just a way for highly-paid Ukraine officials to pretend they were doing something.  Wonder where that money came from.  So now we'll see what they come up with next when this fails.

The first problem is that it calls for an immediate ceasefire without working anything else out.  The EU has already promised to send in troops as soon as there's a ceasefire, you see the problem there?  So there's no reason for Russia to even look past that demand.  Good thing because the next one requires the US, Europe and NATO to come to Ukraine's defense for any future problems.  With all that, you'd think Ukraine would no longer need to join NATO but don't worry, they'll still be allowed to join NATO.

You might wonder where Europe would get any troops worth sending to Ukraine since they haven't bothered to rebuild their militaries.  Strange way to live, ranting about how Russia's right on their doorstep all these years and not bothering to have a defense but that's the EU for you.  And the US is still obligated to join in so they're in no hurry.  If the loser of the war gets all this, what does the winner get?

But it gets worse, US participation will be guaranteed even without Congress declaring war.  It's a little iffy and you could make arguments that we don't *have* to go through with it but these people are used to giving unelected globalists control over their military so they assume the US will do that without hesitation.  Maybe Trump won't but they're looking at when he's gone.  There will also be some unelected council overseeing this, Trump and his successor are also expected to be part of that and go along with the decisions.  Ukraine will also get $800 billion for reconstruction.

Russia gets *some* territory and that's all I can find as proof that they won the war.  I really can't tell if the EU and Zelensky are that desperate or if they genuinely think they got everything.  And as always, we have to worry that Trump will go along with this.

Trump Posts Ominous Christmas Message Savaging Democrats who Visited Epstein Island – “Enjoy What May be Your Last Merry Christmas!”

□ [“Joe Biden’s Family Christmas Photo Is So Awkward and Wrong"]

In families that aspire to aristocracy, when the oldest man is senile and worthless, it's tradition for his son to take over the family.  Normally it would be Beau but he's out in Las Vegas working with Moe Greene.  With Hunter suddenly speaking out, it's clear he's trying to replace his father.  He's at the center of the picture and had someone put some nice clothes on him.  Or actually learned to get dressed on his own.

Joe is barely visible.  I'm no good at determining if there was photoshop but it does look very fake.  At least a decent photoshop could have presented him at the center of the family, or at least appearing relevant.  At a family event @25 years ago, my grandfather had health problems so he had to leave and was added to the family picture later, it looked at least as real as this one and he was quite visible.

I think Hunter is trying to make himself look like the top dog now.  Everybody in the picture is directly connected to him - his kids, parents, sister - and the only males are his son and father.  After all these decades of hedonism, he's trying to look like a respectable adult.  He doesn't have anything to offer so it might be entertaining to watch him try.

□ [“Hunter Biden Whines He Has “No Clue” How to Pay Off $15 Million in Debt"]

More is coming out from his recent interview.  I guess few people paid attention to it so the commentary didn't all get released at once.  Hunter's complaining about his debt, suggesting it's all from legal issues, and apparently his family isn't supporting him.  He doesn't specifically say that either but they'd have enough money for him to move back home and obviously he's not doing that.  I'm curious where he's staying if he has no money but he probably keeps that secret.

I'm also guessing that the interviewer didn't ask why his painting sales suddenly dried up.  Maybe it's not the income he's used to but even if it's only a thousand dollars per painting, that's more than he has now so what's the problem?  I know if I could get a thousand dollars for a painting, I'd be trying to do as many as I could every week.  He might not see the problem himself so maybe someone should bring it up to him.  If he has no real friends, then this interviewer could do that.  Just a thought.

And what about the skills he displayed to get money from Ukraine and Russia just after their previous war?  Those talents couldn't be so limited to only being useful at that time in that location.  His specific salary is unknown and varied over time but it was still many thousands of dollars every single month.  Whatever it was he brought to Burisma, surely there are other companies that need it too.  Again, maybe he wouldn't get as much money, but it would be *something,* more than he has now.

This may be the last part of Hunter's story, using him to find out what these elitists did to the world.  He clearly had nothing to bring to the world, only his family name.  And it wasn't even that, his dad was the only relevant member of the family.  No one's looking at him and saying 'that's Beau's brother!' or 'that's Neilia's son!'  And there's a lot more out there like that where the kids have nothing.  Chelsea Clinton, Obama's kids, quite possibly Trump's kids, just to name a few.  But Hunter can help expose what the elite's lives are like for the druggie younglings with nothing else to do.  Someone just needs to point out that he might be paid for revealing all this.

This is attempted murder and the driver is very stupid about it.  You tried to kill them, they have every right to kill you back and only their training and position would prevent them from doing that.  It also suggests the mentality of the people who do this.  I'm guessing the driver - who has been completely unidentified - did not consciously decide to get in his van and start driving around looking for people to kill, specifically ICE agents.

He - I'm assuming he's a he - was just driving somewhere and saw them, so he spontaneously decided this was a good idea.  No self-control or discipline, he certainly didn't consider what the results would be if this didn't work.  They did shoot him so he crashed the van, unfortunately he is still alive.  If he's willing to do this here in public, what do you think he'll do at home when his girlfriend gets mouthy?

□ [“Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey Says ICE Agents May Get 'Killed' if They Continue Raids"]

And they are trying to spread this mentality as much as possible.  I keep wondering how this is effectively different from getting a suicide bomber but it also occurs to me that this is closer to the stereotype of 'fascism' that they accuse others of doing.  They're ordering their troops to go out and kill the enemy with no plans, no preparation, often no training or even weapons.  It's little more than 'if you see them, attack.  Because we say so.'

The actual military realizes that its troops are individuals, these people are just collectivist at heart.  And expendable.  So ok, they've got the stupid people who don't know anything better than this and that will last for quite a while.  But where will you find replacements?  Who's going to grow up to say 'I want to be like that guy who tried and failed to run over people with a van'?  As opposed to 'I want to be like those people who can think and act quickly when someone tries to kill them.

Probably.  I haven't paid much attention to this but what we've heard looks like a Hollywood cover-up.  Maybe they're hiding something or maybe it's just normal.  Nick was a druggy most of his life, he and his parents were arguing at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party.  A lot of A-list celebrities were there but I'm not aware of anybody being named.

There's certainly been no pix of the argument from a cell phone.  No idea if it's true but it's rumored that they just weren't allowed to have cellphones there, probably to avoid any evidence getting out of what went on at the party.  I'm guessing nobody wants to testify in court about what led up to this.  For that matter, nobody wants to be asked why they didn't do anything to help.

As always, I assume there's something malevolent going on here and as usual, we'll never learn the truth.  That's why I think Nick is going to vanish as soon as possible.  I'm thinking of fellow Californian Nancy Pelosi's example, where you can just walk into her very rich house in your underwear and go straight to jail for decades, don't pass GO, don't collect $200.  Nick might be jailed for life, liberals may suddenly support the death penalty for him or he may take the Jeffrey Epstein way out.

□ [“Blue States Sue Trump Administration Over Gender Affirming Care"]

They had dropped all the noise about this but they're still promoting the trans agenda.  This is working its way through the judicial system.  California made a law to keep trans kids secret from their parents, a federal judge has struck that down so the fight will continue.  I'm sure they'll all be appealed and eventually land at the Supreme Court so there's more to worry about.

The trans movement is trying to make a comeback.  In the last month or so, I've heard more rhetoric about how we're required to comply with whatever made-up pronouns someone else wants than I've heard since the election.  As I've mentioned, it was already dwindling a year ago.  People wouldn't put up with that for long anyway and with all the trans psychos shooting people these days, it's not going to help.

I'm not sure how the conflicts between the courts and with the trans movement are connected, but it's interesting that now 'freedom of speech' gets added to the argument.  It's not freedom of speech to force people to use a pronoun you invented yesterday, they can call you whatever they want and if you're offended, that's your problem.  That's how 'freedom of speech' works and it's why we have a 1st Amendment.  People are nice enough to have put up with these pretend genders for a while but that's over now.

The Supremes have mostly ruled in favor of Trump this year.  But I'm naturally pessimistic so I've assumed they'll stop doing that and it's started happening more often recently.  But this one makes no sense.  Haven't they already authorized Trump's use of the National Guard in these situations?  I'd need to check but I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of this at least once.

Apparently the point is that the POTUS is authorized to do this if there's some 'danger of rebellion' but that hasn't been established here.  It's also regarding an inability to use the "regular forces" to enforce the law, apparently the Supremes don't get which forces are "regular."  This seems to be missing the point.  If you want to argue that the active duty military should be doing this instead of the National Guard, ok, that's a fair point - which the Supreme's response does mention - but Chicago and Illinois are not enforcing the laws so the commander-in-chief has the authority to get them enforced.

For that matter, hasn't the guard already been sent to Chicago?  I also can't find why this ruling is temporary.  No mention on if the Supremes will return to this later or send it bad to a lower court.  I don't trust them anyway but this is not a good way to deal with Chicago.  I'm not sure what leftists are trying to do now but I think they've definitely moved to the next step of whatever their plan is.

I don't get why the Small Business Association wouldn't have already known about this but it does sound like we're starting to see more and more connections of these crimes, frauds, illegals and leftism.  Since many of them use the same tactics, following that will help identify other groups doing this, whether or not they're connected.

Another example.  Where's the money coming from, who's it going to and how are they using it?  I'm sure it'll take a while to really go through but I get the impression we've put a deep hole into these cartels and probably their globalist supporters.  I've even wondered if we're getting information about these people through the negotiations we've had with China and Russia all year (and Ukraine by extension.)  For them it's just a tool and there's no point continuing to defend it so if they get some other perks, they'd turn against the cartels, no problem.

I also continue to assume there's a giant demon-worshipping cult behind everything and these are some important connections for them.  We've been learning how all these organizations bounce money back and forth between each other, to hide it from the government and use it for their own objectives.  More and more of that is getting exposed and there aren't many ways to defend against that.

□ [“Hunter Biden Denounces Joe Biden’s Open Border, We Shouldn't Prioritize Illegal Immigrants"]

I get that Hunter is the only one in the family who actually wants attention at this point but it's not clear why anyone would give him any attention.  I'm guessing he's still getting help from some old dear friends.  In this case, he did an interview with a Blackwater contractor and former Navy SEAL.  Wasn't in the Navy very long, then he went to the CIA.  Ok.  Seems weird but ok.  And he want to talk to Hunter.

Hunter's comments range from typical insanity to statements that might actually appeal to real people.  There's this point about illegal immigration which contradicts his father and every other leftist.  I've heard that Democrats are suddenly saying they're against illegal immigration and blame Biden for what happened but I haven't seen any of that.  Or maybe I have and just ignored it because it's too stupid.  They supported it all these years and now expect people to believe they were always against it?  That's not going to work.

Otherwise he complains about Trump being a tyrant, not remotely worried about being punished.  And apparently his missing laptop is now completely imaginary.  Sounds like he's totally safe from any consequences there, which is depressing.  But he also needs money since no one's willing to pay him for anything anymore, so maybe he's just trying to recite whatever he perceives as the current leftist agenda, even if it contradicts everything he said before.  I don't think that'll work either but his story isn't finished yet.  No matter how stupid it is, he's still got at least one more stunt left.

No evidence as far as I know but I'm going to assume that more government officials have been fired this year - and more government dependents have had to look elsewhere for funding - than any year in our nation's history.  But it's still not enough and this is a perfect example of why.  They want revenge and they're barely hiding it.  Why aren't these people being identified?

This is one of those things that doesn't help Trump.  The swamp hasn't remotely been drained.  He's only got three years left, this is one time where even Trump may not be an exception to the rule.  There's are many thousands of federal employees who at least look like they're going along.  It would be nice to think they can't hold out and will go batsh*t crazy so they'll all be purged but that's not something to rely on.  So then what other options are there?

The only thing I can think of is that things are mostly going well.  Gas prices are a very obvious benefit.  Next year we'll see how businesses and taxes have improved for the majority of people.  You'd think that would be enough to show that Trump's going the right way but I just don't think that's enough.  There's been limiting the illegal immigrants.  Just realized that we haven't heard a whole lot about the National Guard deploying to cities even though that's still happening, as far as I know.

It's why I keep pointing out that Trump is a showman and that's where he's definitely failing.  Whatever the other benefits of 2.0, we're not seeing enough in the way of regular triumphs.  I know, it's slightly possible this might be a bit more difficult than I expect but you get the point.  It's still not clear what he's specifically doing and it's not hard to make an argument that competence is the main difference between him and Biden.  We're surrounded by enemies, the POTUS should be getting rid of them, so what's the hold up?  These people aren't going to hold back.

Even after something has actually been done with this issue nothing has changed.  There's still no point, no end goal, nobody's being punished for anything.  There's not even an explanation.  Even here, notice it's Bill's spokesman saying this.  Seems strange that Bill's not willing to make any public comments.  He's got to approve what the spokesman says so it's not like he doesn't have the time to spare.

The fact that multiple public statements are needed is also suspicious.  Nothing has changed, no new information, so is someone feeling the heat?  But he's gotten away with it this long so there's no reason to worry now.  Even if there was, he'll be dead long before anybody gets around to doing anything.  Look how long Epstein's been dead before Democrats were the slightest bit bothered about him.

But I still don't see the point to this.  Effectively this is the same as Pam Bondi saying all these documents were sitting right on her desk and I don't even want to look up how long ago that was.  The relevance to this scandal is gone, no one's going to believe whatever eventually comes out and there's no reason to think anything will ever happen.

□ [“Gustavo Petro Challenges Trump and Demands 'Returning' Texas to Mexico"]

No idea if this is a real threat or if he's just showing off for his people.  Texas rebelled against Mexico to gain its independence.  Then it voluntarily joined the US so that's really not a ground to be 'returned.'  Now you can argue that Mexicans have been invading Texas for decades and that's a justified argument to get the territory back but that's not the same thing.

There's also a question of what Texas thinks about this.  I've heard people make arguments on both sides for years, whether or not Texas actually has authority to secede from the US.  My guess would be 'probably not' but if Texans disagree, that's a much bigger issue no matter what.  We're seeing this elsewhere, Trump talking about Canada as the 51st state and adding Greenland.  Agree or not, Mexico could also make those demands

Not sure how or why they're doing this but I suspect this is related to the fight for nationalism.  One of the arguments for a 'world government' is that theoretically it can prevent conflicts like this, so that needs to be dealt with.  Of course Mexico would have no chance of really taking it but white liberals would love to promote this.

This keeps boiling.  Walz and AG Keith Ellison let this happen but they show no signs of doing anything about it now.  I don't know how many of these mayors are in on the fraud but they need to at least look like they're doing something about it.  They also need to worry about what will happen to their cities, having not planned for this scandal of 10s of billions of dollars vanishing.

From people helping themselves to taxpayer money to using that to fund Somali terrorists, this is a huge problem and, as you might expect from leftists, the government is nowhere to be found.  It's understandable why, they were all in on it.  The best defense they could have is that they're just too incompetent to do this job, which still doesn't speak well for how long they've had this job.  Ellison worked for Obama and there are people who actually wanted Walz to be veep.

They can't even punish anyone for this fraud because those they arrest can just turn on them.  That's why they need to stay quiet about this and hope it goes away.  They're probably trying to get some other catastrophe started so that Minnesotans have something more important to focus on.  And we keep hearing that other states have the same problems so there's every experience to make this even bigger.

California can't stop fires or rebuild homes, a *woke* power company in San Francisco can't even keep the power on.  And they think they're leading the direction everybody should be going.  Maybe this is their way of preparing for Nancy Pelosi to become a permanent resident after all these decades.  This might be a way to eliminate some evidence before she arrives.

Something all seems to be coming together in California although it's really not clear what.  I would guess it's centered around the Rob Reiner sacrifice although there's still more Hollywood people killing themselves.  They've already been pushing the leftist agenda for decades and now they've cranked it up to 11.  [It might be relevant that Reiner's first and last directed movie was Spinal Tap.]  Since they blatantly censor anyone who disagrees with them, it's impossible for us to see any overarching difficulties they're facing and it just looks like a mess.

As always, nothing is clear about what's going on.  California is definitely a target for the Trump administration, probably more relevant than the EU, Venezuela, Ukraine or Iran.  It's part of the US but it doesn't want to be.  Quite possibly that's the plan, to push these areas towards their respective insanity so they'll collapse.  I assume by now the power is restored in San Francisco but it's just another thing to piss off the citizens and there's no way they can blame Trump.

He was sentenced to 20 years for molesting a 13-year old girl, he only served 15 months for "good behavior."  Then he broke the court order and contacted the girl again.  Sentenced to five years, he only served two.  So he has every incentive to keep doing it again, this time he'll have enough power to shield himself from the limited prosecution he had before.

I also wonder if this is about self-defense.  All of a sudden the government is willing to punish child molesters so they need to find allies and take over.  I will assume they're members of the uniparty overall but they do seem to self-identifying as Democrat these days.

□ [“DoJ Releases Pix of Jeffrey Epstein’s Partner in Crime Ghislaine Maxwell"]

This game is still going on.  I assume there's a reason for it although I'm as annoyed as everyone else is.  There's complaints that a lot of the releases are completely redacted.  Some are missing, reportedly they vanished immediately after the release.  If you can believe it, Trump was in those pics.  Gee, nothing suspicious about that.

If it's true, that's clearly deliberate but what's the point?  They also need to check with the Biden administration on what they were doing.  Epstein had been dead a couple years before they ever got there, so what were they investigating for the next four years?  Some of them must have seen the pix, you can leak Trump's taxes and raid his home but nobody can just say in public what they saw him doing in the pictures?  Nobody's even asking them about this.  If it's so true, you could have saved the world by leaking them at some point and you couldn't be bothered.

So this just seems like a hold-up to pressure the left even more.  I don't get the point and am really tired of having to invent excuses for this, but here we are.  There's no reason this should still be going on, he's been dead for over six years.  It doesn't help that Democrats are so focused on Trump.  They should really be asking their own people why they were so connected to Epstein, asking him for money and all that.  But as we know, Bill and Hillary will defy Congress yet-again and refuse to show up to testify under oath.  And nothing will happen.

But they are claiming they'll go after Pam Bondi.  Everything was supposed to be released on Friday and obviously it wasn't.  This can't just be a stupid mistake by the Trump administration, I still think it's a trap but the reason for this is a mystery.  What is the left supposed to be obsessed with here?  It might worry the Clintons or whoever, 'they might go after us' but it just seems pointless.  It might be better to promote the cheap gas prices and the benefits that has on everyone's day-to-day lives, that would really outrage the left better than this stunt.

□ [“John Fetterman:  Democrats Shut Government Down Because They 'Were Afraid' of Radical Base"]

I would quote his actual line about 'turning it into a game.'  He's clearly referring to the Democrat base there but the rest of his statement is mostly incoherent.  Barely finishes a sentence and it's not clear which people he's talking about at any given time.  I won't bother playing the video but at the text of his statement reads like he's either mentally ill or just very scared of what his party would do if he spoke out openly.

Anyway, the point that struck me about this was that the shutdown has been completely ignored since it ended.  The mass suffering Democrats were complaining about, it couldn't have just ended, especially with Republicans mostly winning.  Yet all the rhetoric has vanished.  Even when they insist Trump has failed and Republicans will go extinct with the next election, they were saying that before the shutdown and nothing's changed.

And if that's the base they have, it should be clear that this is the problem.  You can't be afraid of the people you're in charge of!  Unless you've spent decades praising 'revolution' and 'overthrowing the old rich people' and...  Let me try again.

You can't be afraid of the people you're in charge of.  Being in charge means you have responsibility and authority, they need to know that you'll punish them for getting out of line.  It's like when blacks speak out about freeing themselves from the Democrat plantation so you need to...  Ok, let me try one more time.

These people voted to put you in charge.  If they don't respect that, then they can't be relied on whatever decisions you make.  They're also not the people you should be basing decisions on, so you're saying there was no point to this shutdown in the first place.  Yet your party kept it going for a month and a half.  Not only that but they haven't learned anything from the experience.  And Fetterman is the best one to speak out about this, showing how low the bar is.

Biden won Fulton County with 380,212 votes, almost three times as many as Trump got, but only won Georgia by 11,779 votes.  This may not be the only county in Georgia such fraud happened in.  Or the only state of the US.  Obviously Democrats don't want anybody checking into this, they still need to win elections.  And they'll count all the votes.

The Justice Department is also suing 22 states + DC for not providing voter registration lists.  The Attorney General requested these records, the Civil Rights Act of 1960 Title III gives him that authority but these states have refused to provide them.  No idea how long it'll take to reach the conclusion but at some point Democrats will need to ask why they're opposing the Civil Rights Act.  Their hope is that they'll have seized power by the time that happens but if not, what's their plan?

This is why voting needs to be as straightforward and as hard-to-fake as possible.  I think that leaves computers out of the process, they could be hacked.  Also, just because I'm naturally paranoid, I'd have to worry about who does the watching.  For that matter, how many of these Republican lawyers would actually be doing this to cover for Democrats moving into whatever the brand-new system is to keep stealing even more votes?  I don't know strategy or tactics but even I'm aware of the need to consider what the enemy can do with any new tool brought in to the match.

2026 is going to be a year where we really don't know what's happening or if anything we see on the internet is real.  We can't even trust this story, or what it reports, or its sources, or anybody's reaction to it.  It says that this video was created by a teenager in Burkina Faso, West Africa.  Uh-huh.  He wanted to see how big it would be and was surprised to find that it had gotten so big.  Right.  Macron was pissed and ordered Twitter to shut it down but they don't have to obey him.  I see.  But it must be hugely popular in France because that's how they roll.

This illustrates my point, obviously any of that could be absolutely true but we have no way to prove it.  Seems just as likely that it could come from anybody inside or outside of France for a number of reasons.  Revolutionaries, pro- or anti-EU.  Trump, Russia, China, anarchists.  Even people in West Africa who are connected to the new immigrants in France.  There's no way to know and not even a believable way to learn the truth.

I really don't know what a good answer to this is.  So far I haven't gotten any sense of an A.I. bubble as we saw a couple decades ago when the internet became a big thing.  If anything, it comes across as too overwhelming.  Just in the production of videos alone, it would be easy to come up with enough to keep you busy 24-7.  So far the quality is still very low but it has noticeably increase in a short period of time, even faster than the internet did when it was introduced.

The movie's not scheduled to come out for another seven months and it's already looking bad.  The teaser just has an annoying girlboss who's nothing like the *real* Supergirl.  It also has her fighting Lobo because they've got to shove in more IPs.  Lobo should be a stand-alone character as Marvel/Sony has done with Venom but anyway...

This Supergirl attempt just reminds me of the Daredevil movie in 2003 where they crammed in Elektra way more than they needed to, all to set up and immediate spin-off.  Slightly different here, Superman was and is far more established.  But for that matter, the Marvel movie was at least closer to the source material.  [Daredevil anyway, I didn't see Elektra.]  Even counting for inflation, it was probably cheaper to make too so the loss wasn't as big.  That's what we've been reduced to here.

But everything about this is coming across as a guaranteed failure.  The character isn't interesting and has little in common with the Supergirl who was popular for decades.  The story seems pointless.  Then there's the immense hassle of building these franchises as the primary goal of a movie.  This is why the Marvel and DC franchises have been collapsing for the last several years and they're just pushing this yet-again.

□ [“US Drives a Stake Thru Europe's Money Grab Against Russia"]

If true, this could explain a lot.  It would also require a lot more questions about what the EU has been doing.  The premise is that, to show their support for Ukraine, the EU has 'frozen' Russian assets.  They would like to 'seize' these assets which is against United Nations rules.  If they went ahead and did this, everybody else could seize any other nation's assets for any reason.  This would be chaos so it's agreed that you're not supposed to do that.

But the EU has already been acting like they have seized the assets, past-tense.  They already investments, loans, spending on these Russian assets that they have not seized because they can't.  So that's why they've suddenly been demanding the assets be seized, even threatening their own members on this, and suddenly declaring that their sons and daughters must die for Russia.  The Trump administration has included 'unfreezing' the assets in any peace deal and if that happens, the EU will be left with a giant hole that they thought had been filled with *their* money.

The only way this works for them is if Russia loses the war or it just keeps going on forever, neither of which is going to happen.  This would also explain why Zelensky and Ukrainian elites never admit they've lost, they know which side their bread is buttered on.  It might even explain why Russia hasn't just destroyed everything in front of them, giving the EU time to fall deeper and deeper into this trap of their own making.

The fact that the EU has stuck with this for so long indicates that they aren't remotely trustworthy.  Since the US sides with them - and we both keep funding Ukraine more and more - Russia has no incentive for a peace treaty at all.  There's no reason to trust us and we're clearly not doing this out of Ukraine's best interests.  That's not getting into their decades of money laundering or everything else the EU has tried to infest the world with.

And the reason these pictures couldn't have been released five or ten years ago is...?  I don't know what Epstein files have come out at this point but there's a bunch of new pictures.  So far they seem to be centered around Bill Clinton although other celebrities are there.  Jackson, Mick Jagger, Chris Tucker are the other names I've seen so far.

It's amusing to think that this may be why Keith Richards was suddenly unwilling to have a Stones tour next year, that he just didn't want to put up with this.  Slightly more seriously, is Bill Clinton going to finally start being asked about this relationship with Epstein?  And where, oh where, was the Hillary?  She was at home, getting drunk with girls!

Attention to Michael Jackson has gone way down, although his death probably had a lot to do with that.  It's been over 16 years.  Can't remember where I heard it, but there was some comment about 'all that stuff we were told he did with kids?  Yeah, that was true.'  He'd been part of the dark life since he was quite young, there's no way he'd know any better, much less have any self-restraint.  Given all the connections with these people, he must have had a lot in common with his first wife, Lisa Marie Presley.

Anyway, we still don't know how much is being released or how much is redacted.  Can't believe we've reached a point where this is just annoying because it's taken so long and there's no reason to trust it.  I've spent as much time as anyone demanding that this be made public and now that it's happening (slightly) it just seems pointless.  As I finished writing this, one of Bill's employees did making a public statement, mostly avoiding these pics other than to mention they're really old, and trying to find some way to attack Trump.  Might as well say under oath 'I did not have sex with Epstein's young associates.'

I first saw this topic on a leftist website.  The discussion didn't last long but they were quite irritated that the party had investigated why they failed last year and when they got the report last October, hid it from the public.  It's easy to guess why, they'd have to explain how they got to that point.

I still believe Biden was always intended to be a one-termer and Harris was intended to be his replacement, although there's some obvious contradictions, like Biden clearly changing his mind.  The first presidential debate was scheduled much earlier than usual, I think they knew Biden would fail and had already passed the 'primaries' so Harris wouldn't be challenged.  But there were still other Democrats such as Gavin Newsom who thought they were entitled to the job.

Those of us who aren't Democrats know this was all a fake but the party faithful need to see evidence of leadership and they aren't getting it.  It's hidden from them by those in charge and they can't do anything about it.  That's what they voted for.

I assume this was always on the table.  ISIS needs to be wiped out and Trump would get around to it when he could.  We already had Iran and Venezuela to deal with.  But the killing of two soldiers a week ago moved that higher up on the list of priorities.  Trump and Hegseth are being up front, this isn't remotely a war, it's about vengeance.

I've said this many times before, this is what our policies in Iraq and Afghanistan should have been, 'you kill one of us, we kill lots of you in response.'  Pretty straight forward.  I'm curious if we're just wiping out all/most of ISIS in this attack or just hitting them hard enough that they'll start looking for different career opportunities.  This happened in 2020, he hit ISIS in Iraq and their whole image was damaged.  But then Trump took a long vacation for some reason and they started coming back.  So now he's dealing with them again.

CENTCOM did release a statement and some footage, saying we hit over 70 targets in Syria.  Woah, that's pretty good.  I'm curious if it was about killing as many ISIS as possible or just a big show to let them know that 'yeah, we could have done this to you if we wanted to, count yourself lucky.'  Probably a bit of both.  This is why I keep saying Trump needs to have regular flashy victories.  Base them on real accomplishments but he's a showman, he should know that this wins the crowd over.

□ [“NASCAR Driver Greg Biffle, His Wife and Children Killed in Private Jet Crash"]

Never heard of the guy but these days, I'm always suspicious when anybody at any level of fame is suddenly dead.  The usual suspicions are that it's either a human sacrifice to the demon overlords or someone who was ready to expose knowledge that would expose a lot more prominent people.  For decades we've had a joke about 'he had enough information to send Hillary Clinton to jail.'  It's just more convenient to assume that's based on *something.*

I also think the left has figured out how to manufacture and promote people who are their nominal opponents.  It's a way to make sure right-wingers don't have any real leaders.  I'm not saying Trump or Charlie Kirk or this NASCAR guy or any other famous person we can name are definitely secret leftists, or even pawns by the real masters.  I just suspect them of this just become it's more convenient than believing they're die-hard right-wingers and winding up disappointed by them.

Beyond that, there's also the strange connections that seem to appear.  With Charlie Kirk, there's odd questions about his murder which just faded away after a little while.  There's the very obvious secret service support for the attempt to assassinate Trump.  There's the recent death of Rob Reiner.  There's even stranger things like an MIT professor being shot and killed in his Massachusetts home a couple days after a mass shooting at Brown University, about 50 miles away.  The police say there may be connections.  An MIT professor isn't 'famous' in any real sense but he is on a higher social level than almost everybody else so that qualifies.

Berlin Migrant Housing Costs Skyrocket to Nearly €1 Billion, Tripling Since 2020

□ [“Federal Prosecutors Charge Two Haitian Migrants in Massachusetts in $7 Million SNAP Scam"]

They are starting to clean out these scammers.  Hopefully they're also getting all their connections, both to other scammers and to the white people who helped set this up.  It's a strange reaction I'm not used to, I totally support busting these people, seizing whatever money we can get as a refund and kicking them out.  But it does come off as odd that it's all a certain skin color being arrested.  I assume I'm racist and still don't think that looks good.  But I totally support this anyway.  You can see the bind I'm in.

Anyway, it's obvious there are connections.  These people didn't all just decide to scam SNAP or Medicare.  It was pointed out to them, they may have been instructed on how to get through the process.  I'm not sure who else would be connected - the banks?  the federal agents they dealt with? - but I'm absolutely positive other groups would want their share of the money coming in.  So the question might be if this all counts as one large group of scammers or smaller groups of various size which may or may not interact as they all commit the same frauds.

But we need to see how high up the chain this goes.  How short and direct are the connections to members of Congress or high-ranking members of the other two branches of government?  Also state and city governments and any other prominent figures.  Even if they didn't take their share of the money - which seems so unlikely that it's not even worth considering - they made sure not to interrupt these non-white non-Americans stealing our money and getting away with it for a long time.  You don't see Ilhan Omar demanding these Somalis be punished for their crimes, she's defending them to the end.

□ [“New York Times Says Congressional Stock Trading Record Leaves ‘Asterisk’ on Nancy Pelosi’s Legacy"]

They could have reported this any time in the last 40 years, even 13 months ago when she filed to run for re-election.  Only now, after she's changed her mind for some reason, have they decided to actually report this.  The peons can finally be informed about how their masters become so rich by saying how bad money is.  Well, at least this one master, the rest of the uniparty is still profiting as much as they can.

Nancy's friend Dianne Feinstein was even richer than the Pelosis and I still want to know where all her money went after she died.  Probably not paid in taxes like most people have to do, we already know the law doesn't apply to Democrats.  And Nancy always fought against any 'insider trading' rules for Congress.  Odd little coincidence, don't you think?  You can understand why leftists adore her so.

She's been staying out of the public eye for the most part these days.  Maybe she's just old and weak, or may she doesn't want to be asked any difficult questions.  But she did make a recent comment that even if Democrats take back the House next year, Trump won't be impeached.  I assume she's lying, just pretending that the party has learned something from all these failures.  Or maybe she's just unaware of what they're talking about these days.  She may also be worried about being prosecuted herself.  Yet another old rich leftist getting away with everything.  When is that going to stop?

□ [“AOC Cackles Maniacally, She Declares She Would ‘Stomp’ Vance in a Presidential Election"]

It's very bizarre how the left is already guaranteeing that they'll easily win the next elections.  AOC has never proven anything outside of a safe New York district, she certainly hasn't accomplished anything.  Yet she assumes everything is already hers and there's nobody around who will inform her of reality.  No one even asks why she's getting so wealthy so quickly, much less how she'll handle a primary against other leftists who think they're just as entitled to be in charge.

□ [“Maine Senate Candidate Supports ‘Giving Land Back’ to Indigenous People"]

This is the guy with the nazi tattoo, promising to make the state smaller if he's in charge.  On the surface, it's quite different from what AOC is saying but this is fundamentally the same delusion, that they know best and nobody can stop them.  This is the problem the left has always faced and, for the most part, it seems to be hurting them badly these days.  That said, we should always worry that they can win elections and they'll go through with this if they ever get a chance.

There was a bit of a break from this delusion for the last month or two but it's clearly coming back again.  Collectively they've found another way to guarantee success.  Maybe it's just based on the polls that say all Trump's supporters suddenly realized he was a bad person, the cheaper gas prices make living costs skyrocket.  Maybe those in charge of the party just figured out a new way to keep their puppets moving.

It is unnerving to see and is another reason I keep saying Trump needs to show definite progress on a regular basis.  I know there's a lot of hard work that has to be done and doesn't have any obvious benefits but that's why they need to find these wins.  It's big and flashy, sure, but that really does help in the public eye.  Trump of all people should know that.  These leftists should be clearly losing everything they believed in, including their wealth and not being arrested.  Without that, there's no reason to think AOC or these other freaks won't gain power.

□ [“Europe’s Scheme to Steal Billions in Frozen Russian Assets Collapses Under U.S. Pressure and Financial Reality"]

Just a few days ago they seemed so determined to start seizing from other nations for whatever reason they came up with.  And give other nations the incentive to do the same thing.  They don't seem to have learned anything from this, they've just been forcefully told 'don't do that' and for reasons we haven't been told, they're required to obey.

It is interesting how suddenly the EU is getting attention for this war in ways that they didn't want.  I can't be sure but I'm guessing this financial threat is the biggest problem but it's based on economics and moving around tons of money, things that normal people never deal with.  But, from the US perspective, I don't think we can see the attention the EU elites are getting for trying to push their militaries out to war, despite the decades of evidence that they just aren't up to this.

What kind of ads would you do for enlistment?  A 19-year old saying 'I heard about the threat from Russia so I ran out to enlist and fight for king and country'?  In theory, it's possible the EU is doing that sort of ad these days but it just sounds even more laughable.  So it's understandable why they're focusing more on this attempt to seize money.  You just have fewer poor people to deal with that way.

So what will the EU do next?  They need to be overthrown, that's a given, but how could that happen?  Their elites appear to be very desperate about something and I'm sure they deserve that.  *If* (God willing) we ever get to the bottom of the mess that's been overtaking the world for the last several decades, I suspect the EU might get more of the blame than anyone else.

House Passes GOP Health Care Bill without Extension of Obamacare Subsidies
December 17, 2025

The authorities found me unconscious in the desert, nearly dead from all the drugs.  I had been using them to cover for me, day by day through all the misery after my family turned on me.  And I deserved it.  I had failed them.  They were starving, we were nearly homeless, we were already broke.  My children couldn't learn, they had nothing to build their lives on.  My wife had turned on me.  She considered me worthless and she was right.

I had spent everything we owned on our family business, it was supposed to make up for all my previous failures.  The debt was overwhelming, all the eyes upon us were filled with mockery.  But I had a plan and I was determined to follow it.  Even worse, it came so close to success.  I had actually been selling goods to happy customers.  We were bringing in money, we were almost able to make a payment on the debt.  It would be the last chance we had but I was convinced it would work.

But something went wrong which is what started me on that downward spiral.  To this day, I still recall seeing that hope dwindle.  Just a little more money, all I need to do is sell one more set of power converters and our lives in Tosche Station will start improving.  I don't know what happened but that customer never arrived.

□ [“Trump effect hits the pump as Christmas gas prices sink to 5-year low"]

This is one of those 'immediate benefits' I keep urging Trump to go for, since he's not arresting any of the uniparty for their corruption and treason.  This was something I assume he went for on Day One, leasing as much oil-drilling as he could.  It's quite possible part of the agreement was that oil companies would lower prices as quickly as possible, probably getting other perks if they started doing that before even finding more oil.

I'm sure the prices are lowering in blue states but it'll be noticeable that they aren't as far down as the rest of the country.  That'll obviously be because these states have their own laws and taxes which keep the prices high.  They aren't all leftists and this will be a regular occurrence, seeing their leaders leach out more money than their neighbors.

I'm not really sure why but oil drilling and gasoline pumping is clearly much more complicated than we'd expect so there's a lot of twists-and-turns with government involvement.  This is probably why the left has totally retreated from the 'global warming' myth for the time being, which included the intent to ban gas-powered vehicles sometime within the next decade.  As I said, I don't get why this would need a long-range plan, although it does take years to drill oil, but they had clearly been working towards this for a long time and the Biden administration policies meant they had reached their ideal state.  But in less than a year, we're back to gas prices cheaper than they've been for a long time.

□ [“Merz Wants German Troops in Ukraine After the War Ends, With Rules Allowing Them to Fight Russia"]

You know, *some* German leaders don't need to wait for others to give permission to put troops in Ukraine.  I'm trying to think of a joke about how other EU members are trying to use economics and threats while Germany's just saying they'll send in troops to handle things.  Maybe you should start protecting Germans from immigrants, you know, just to warm up and get some practice in before you really get started.

□ [“Relentless Russian Strikes on Ukraine Energy Sector – Daily Power Cuts in All Regions"]

And nobody's saying 'if only the Germans were here, they'd fix everything!'  I guess I'm a bit skeptical, they're really hitting ALL of Ukraine with this?  The whole country goes without electricity at least 12 hours a day because that's all they have left running things?  I guess it's believable but do they really want to return to the stone age?  Things like this indicate that Russia isn't treating this like an actual war, it's more like cat and mouse.  They also hit Odessa a few days ago so now they're without electricity and water.

And of course the US isn't getting out.  Congress has just voted for more Ukraine funding, different bills from each houses but they'll surely be combined and there's little doubt Trump will sign.  Mostly it's because of what the EU is doing but I do get a sense we're starting to see the real problem and it's not just any of the obvious countries to blame.  It's like there's something deeper going on than any of us could conceive.  As much as I want Trump out of this mess, I do think he's working to expose whatever-it-is.
