Day 42 without a federal government.  Thanks to the united resistance against Trump, I think we're nearing an ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything.  That never would have happened without Trump and it's why we all hate him so much.  That's why we should be in charge of everything.

I'm getting a little worried though.  One or two Democrats might be thinking about giving in.  This isn't the right time, we need to stay together, no matter the cost.  Everyone must be starving and dying before we do anything to save one person.  And that's going to happen any day, just like we planned.

□ [“Senate Passes Legislation to Reopen Government in 60-40 Vote"]

The House will vote tomorrow.  Most likely they'll pass it, not sure any Democrat votes are needed.  If they are needed, a few have probably already been told to comply and if not, Republicans will just pass it.  At the moment, they're not getting the blame for making things worse.  It is possible they won't pass it either, in which case I'm not sure what will happen.  It would be funny if they could make Democrats vote first, just to see if any of them are going along now, so then some Republicans could vote against it.

The House is where spending bills are supposed to originate but I'm not sure if that's relevant at the moment.  If they said 'no, we want our original bill,' what will the Senate do?  Entertaining to watch, yes, but this could be very chaotic.  That's not even getting into the possibility of Trump's veto, although I still don't think that would happen.

Now leftists are going after Schumer for the crime of letting welfare checks go out to poor people.  He isn't even voting for this bill but he gets the blame.  One constant leftist trait is that it's easier to turn on their own side than it is to attack the enemy.  Just a few days ago they were complaining that keeping the government closed hurt poor people, now they're angry that it's going to reopen.  This only computes in their own minds.

And they're all going nuts about this.  Normally I would just assume it's typical leftism, they can't accept defeat, but they're all doing this at once.  It's only the ones in the shadows who don't seem to be obnoxiously loud about this.  This guy is Nancy Pelosi's puppet and I don't think she's made any comments about this.  Unless she is through him.  The party was so happy for some wins in low-turnout solid-left districts and were going to ride that to the mid-terms and 2028, but here they are now.  This appeals to voters how exactly?

Officially this would be about 'coordinating' established intelligence agencies from the respective member states.  So it doesn't 'duplicate' their activities.  Of course.  And who, by the way, has the primary authority?  We see this conflict in the US as states try to resist the federal government and usually wind up losing that fight.  I'm surprise the EU hasn't already done this but here they are.

□ [“UK Halts US Intelligence Sharing on Caribbean Narco-Terrorist Drug Boats; Says Strikes Are Illegal"]

Meanwhile Britain is having it's own internal conflicts.  They lash out at Trump as we see here because of course, but they are clearly breaking up in many ways.  There's Trump's threat to sue the BBC for doctoring their footage on Trump, making his January 6 speech something it wasn't.  They just respond that their US audience is huge and they aired this right before the election, meaning they just made Trump's case for him.  So now the BBC has leadership problems.

Then there's Kiers Starmer's government, also breaking apart.  It's rumored that he'll be out of office in days.  Then there's the problems Charles is having with his brother and sons.  If they're still a real monarchy, that's not how they want to appear.  Then there's the endless reports of authorities oppressing Brits and supporting the illegal immigrants, up-to and including Islam taking priority.  And that's not even accounting for their eagerness to go to war with Russia.

We don't see how the Trump administration is fighting the British or EU elites but clearly something is going on here.  It's a foreign equivalent of what Trump is doing with Democrats, making them crave tyranny and destruction, whatever it takes to show they're fighting him.  And then losing.

Haven't heard anything about protests in a few months but I'd like to think the British are still willing to do that.  It is just so depressing to look at what's been done to this landmark of civilization.  The 100-year-old veteran who spoke up a few days ago and said winning WWII wasn't worth it because of this.  This is what you're losing and may be permanently gone.  Turn around now!

□ [“In Hilariously Cringe Interview, Kamala Harris Was Playing 'Three-Dimensional Chess' Against Trump"]

Is she aware that she lost?  She's obviously not very good at 3d-chess.  It's almost like she wasn't actually playing that in the first place and she's pretending now that she was.  Who is letting her push this nonsense out in public?  She's still one of the most prominent Democrats out there - sad as that is to say - but this is just digging her hole deeper, guaranteeing she'll never be allowed to come back.

"I was aware of my opponent’s strategy, and I wasn’t about to fall prey or fall into those traps."

And yet you lost. You had to have fallen into some traps for that to happen.

" And part of his strategy, and those around him, was to try and take me off our game and message, and I wasn’t about to be distracted by those little— those flames that he was trying to throw to get me away from one of— my highest priority, which is talking to people about the economy and their well being in terms of their financial well being."

This is not three-dimensional, this is babbling.  She would have no clue what his strategy was because this is just normal for her.  She says she can't be distracted and then just starts changing the subject without even ending a sentence.  

And that’s— so, I was — I understood the game that was being played, and I made a decision that I wasn’t gonna get played."

And that's why you spent the first six weeks as the nominee staying out of public?  Not a good plan.  I'm positive these interviews are supposed to make her look good but I can't think of how they'd be different if they were intended to make her look bad.  Other than asking for very specific details like 'why did you pay so many celebrities to hang out with you?' or 'do you still have no clue what you might change from the Biden administration?'

Day 41 without a federal government.  I think we got 'em.  I bet the Republicans are ready to cave.  They finally learned how much smarter we are than them, how much better we are at running a government even when it's shut down.  The American people have finally fallen in love with our policies, our wealth and our cute little butts.  Nothing can stop us now.

There may be some political games we have to play first, pretending that we'll give some thought to something they want.  And then we'll have to have an actual vote for it, which will probably take a few weeks.  And then Trump is going to whine but we'll just tell him to shut up and obey or we'll use the autopen like we did with that other guy (can't remember his name right now).  They're all losers and we're not.  Wow, I feel really good right now for the first time in 41 days.  Nothing can stop us now.

□ [“Senate Takes Final Vote on Funding Package to End Government Shutdown"]

Haven't heard the current status of the vote although we can assume this step will be passed sometime tonight.  The references I've seen all day are that the government has re-opened but that really makes no sense.  House and Senate need to agree on a bill, they both need to pass it and then it goes to Trump for signing.  It's still going to be a day or two before the House even votes on this.  I assume they'll pass it but there's always a chance...

I still won't say I'm in favor of this bill passing but I will admit the left's response is major evidence that it's a win for our side.  The main part that struck me was that it's supposed to re-establish the jobs of all the people Trump has fired during the shutdown.  That might just be a technical detail, it doesn't require that the people who were fired get their jobs back, they can be replaced by competent non-leftists.  Or they might not be replaced.  The jobs exist but that doesn't mean they need to be filled.

But it's the left that makes this a win.  They are going insane against the 8 Democrats voting in favor of this bill and Schumer for picking them and picking this fight.  They can't ask what this fight was really about because they'd have to admit that Democrats could have voted for the bill in the first place and the government wouldn't have shut down, so all that's left is to blame each other for giving in.

All this time we've been told that Trump and Republicans are losing, yet here they are.  This is what makes leftism so impossible.  At no point are they going to consider 'maybe they weren't losing.  Maybe our leaders lied to us all along.'  They thought the public would jump in to side with them and that's just not happening.

So now the Democrats are in for even more internal conflict.  Another 80-year old House female has announced that she's not running for re-election next year.  Schumer may lose his job of being in charge.  There's already lots of tweets and videos demanding a purge of the 8 votes.  I've been wondering how this is going to affect the planned strike for Thanksgiving week.  Will they all go along with it or will they use it against Democrats?

□ [“Unidentified Drones Over Belgium Lead to UK, France and Germany Sending Troops and Equipment to Counter the ‘Threat’"]

Uh-oh.  The most obvious guess is Russia.  The second-most-obvious guess is EU leaders faking it as an excuse to blame Russia.  Not sure which would be worse.  Probably the latter because the EU will openly be militaristic and then realize that they've ruined their nations' military capabilities.  Wouldn't surprise me if they announce Islam is the official religion to try to convince *someone* to enlist.  It won't work but then actual Europeans will be ready to get rid of the EU permanently.

If it actually is Russia, it'll be similar but they'll be showing Europe how far across the continent their drones can reach.  They're already in Belgium who isn't remotely prepared for this, how far do you want to take it?  Or it might be China, which is just as much of a threat.

I still don't get how drones are changing warfare but those who actually study military strategy have put a lot of thought into 5G war which is going on now.  Much of Europe has dealt with drones from "unknown" sources in the last year or so.  Then there was the balloon last year, funny how no one brings that up anymore.  I really wish the threats were finally made obvious to everyone but I guess if that happened, they wouldn't be so threatening.  We may have to start working out how hard it is to take down a drone with a handgun or shotgun.  Too bad Europe would never do that.

□ [“BBC Apologizes to the Public for Misleading Edit of Trump J6 Speech"]

I haven't paid much attention to this because, well, it's the BBC.  We fought a revolution to not have to pay attention to them.  But something about this just comes off as very strange.  They played footage from January 6, 2021 of Trump's speech, but blatantly edited it to make it look like he was advocating an insurrection, which is what the left has claimed for going-on five years now.  So Trump has responded as you expect from him, up to and including threatening a lawsuit for a billion dollars.

Where else did they think this was going to go?  If they really wanted to do this, they could have done it at any point in the last four years.  They had to know he'd be ready to sue them in response.  He did that with 60 Minutes for their edit of an interview with Kamala Harris.  At least that had a point, trying to affect the election by making Harris look competent, what was this supposed to do?

But it seems to be having a similar effect, the BBC leadership is in big trouble.  Trump ordered them to apologize to their viewers, which they're doing here, but will that make a difference?  Any Brits with an ounce of sense wouldn't pay attention to the BBC anyway and the rest will just believe what they're told.  Obviously the network is an official part of the government so there's something going on but it's not clear how similar or different that is to CBS and 60 Minutes.

I hear they're getting ready to re-open the government.  I hope they do but only if we get everything we want and they get nothing.  Otherwise just leave it closed and we can blame them for everything.  It's a win-win.  And then next November, we don't need to attract voters because there's no government, we'll just be in charge of everything.  The only problem with this plan is what if Trump tries to do the same thing?

□ [“Senate to Hold Vote on Spending Bill as Democrats Expected to Vote in Favor"]

By the time I finish writing this, the vote may be over, so I'll just take a guess.  First of all, I'm sure it'll pass the Senate tonight.  Enough Democrats will support it that some Republicans can drop out and it'll still pass.  Second of all, it sounds like a complete cave by Republicans, keeping the Obamacare subsidies, requiring all the fired federal employees to get their jobs back, all the bad things you'd expect.  Second-and-a-half of all, Democrats are attacking their party as caving in with people like Bernie Sanders saying they should vote against it.

I know the saying about politics being an ending where nobody is happy with the results but I would definitely oppose that here.  Which leads me to the third thing, that this isn't the bill the House passed and they're still not in-session, so the fight isn't remotely over.  Unless Republicans in the House cave.  The Obamacare subsidy reportedly isn't in this bill but this vote is about having the subsidy voted on in December.  That sounds like a trap, either Democrats with no chance of winning or Republicans because they'll cave.

If some bill passes both houses, I assume Trump will not veto it.  If he does, you or I might prefer that but he gives everyone in Congress an excuse to turn on him and it's not clear what other options he'd have.  Whatever the results, I don't think he'd do that.  He might start pushing for a line-item veto but that's not going to happen any time soon.

I just checked and there's still no report on a Senate vote yet.  As I said, I'm sure it'll pass and then they'll have to wait for the House to do something when they re-open later this week.  It might be better if the Senate can't make it happen, then it's still their problem.  At this point both sides might be rushing to come up with something and re-open the government - i.e. the Republicans cave - but there's still a lot of fights before that actually passes.

Tell us that you're totally expendable without using those words.  This gang has gotten agreement with the city of Chicago - and probably the state of Illinois, if not other states - to attack federal government agents.  What are they going to do if the National Guard is with the BPA?  Or any other active duty?

I'm guessing this was already part of the plan to move troops into Chicago.  This way they can wipe out a bunch of criminals - thereby making Chicago citizens safer - but it will also work as an excuse to eradicate the rest of the gang and their government lackies.  They are making full use of the 'insurrection' or 'national emergency' category for Trump to go medieval on their ass and this is the perfect excuse.  Congress and the Supreme Court won't be able to ignore that without declaring that they're in the side of the gangs.

The gang is being set-up.  I'm sure they're being paid but under-the-table so they can't be open about it with the public.  And after a few real gunfights, what are they supposed to do next?  Get other gangs to help?  They can't exactly draft any replacements.  And even more non-white Chicago people will be supporting the federal government doing something about this instead of their leftist masters.

This isn't even the first year they've done this.  But once again they aren't causing a total nationwide power-outage that leaves millions of Ukrainians to suffer.  Uh, are we sure we're talking about RUSSIA doing this?  That's not the Russia I know.  You'd think that would be one of the first things they did.  Since they've done it before, they're clearly capable of doing just that.  Yet they didn't.  I need a minute to think, it's like the world doesn't make sense anymore.

You have to wonder why Ukrainians are putting up with their own rulers putting them through this.  They'd have fewer problems - and a larger population - if they just surrendered.  Meanwhile Russia has probably been including the threat from NATO all along, so they're demonstrating what they could do to Europe if it really wants to get involved.  The use of drones is definitely changing warfare and there's a lot of targets in Poland, Germany, France, etc. that they could be used against.  How badly do you want to fight?

They've taken over another city, Pokrovsk, the last major bastion of Donetsk, one of the major goals of this war.  I can't remember the last time we were told that Ukraine was on the verge of winning.  It's been quite the opposite for a long time.  The EU and the left have really stopped paying attention to it, beyond funding and equipment.  When was the last time we heard celebrities demanding everyone do something about this?  It's like they just want to keep it going because it's all they know anymore.  And they probably still have money being laundered through Ukraine.

All those years as Speaker of the House, she could have been pushing tax laws to take away the money from rich people just like her, yet she never did.  And all her fellow Democrats who despise the rich could have pushed that, yet they never did.  Because they're so devoted to leftism, they only focus on people who are richer than them.

There aren't many WWII veterans left.  This guy is 100 years old, meaning he was 20 the year the war ended.  He's British but we can all relate to this.  I still assume World War I was at least one climax for human existence although the bigger, more expensive sequel is still better known.  He had to deal with the 20th century and last 25 years, it's totally understandable why someone would say 'this wasn't worth it.'

Can it be fixed?  I don't know.  So much of the 1900s was making leftism prominent and we're still surrounded by it.  You can argue that it was always there, I think it's largely a part of human nature, but it simply can't function without advanced technology, so that's that.  Only the highest elites could even conceive of such a life and they still had to go without electricity, long-range communication or indoor toilets.  Not much room for advocating abortions of made-up genders.

And that's largely the problem, there's no way to purge leftist beliefs and advanced technology gives them more promotion.  And I haven't even mentioned the obvious tyranny, especially in Britain where they can arrest you for being quiet and someone still finds that offensive.  The left has always promoted this tyranny, I'm not sure we can do any better than cutting it down a notch or two but we definitely need to.

It's amazing how quickly the justice system can move sometimes.  On Thursday, Trump was ordered to start funding SNAP by Friday.  Trump appealed to the Supreme Court and here we are.  Not only that but the justice who put this out was the female black leftist Jackson.  I always wonder how that works, was it her turn, did she lose a bet, some organization within the court itself?  Why not have the court just put out these orders with anyone's name?

Even Jackson has sometimes voted against leftism.  Don't recall if that's ever happened under Trump but there were some 9-0 verdicts against Biden, the one I remember most is that he couldn't cancel college debt for people.  This is a similar case, Trump isn't authorized by Congress to fund SNAP when the government is shut down and no random judge can overrule that.  At some point even she must understand basic things like that.

There also other cases going on.  I know these take time but the wait is quite annoying.  Trump had appealed the fake-felony conviction, a judge refused to even consider it, then a higher judge said yes, consider it.  Other judges keep protecting James Comey from punishment for lying to Congress.  It's just more pressure building, the longer this goes on.

One thing that can't be measured is how insane the left is becoming.  Not just the shutdown and not just Trump's second term, they've always been like this but now we can see it going off the charts.  Without a hint of self-awareness, she calls this "PTSD."  Sure puts men in combat in their place, doesn't it?  It's not like she's been involved in any of these raids, but admits her family members are illegal aliens so she might have known some who were.  She even says she's “a proud Guatemalan before I’m an American.”  Get her out of our country permanently!

Sorry, got off track.  My point was that these people have no clue how reality works and are just getting more deluded day-by-day.  She went on MSNBC to say this - do they still call it that? - so she can be around her own kind and put out more propaganda to the few followers out there.  And she gets taxpayer money to do this.

The "PTSD," the "domestic terror organization," these people really think words mean whatever they want them to.  We cannot have any peace with them until they accept objective reality.  They aren't even aware of how much worse they'll make things for themselves by announcing in advance what they'll do to the rest of us if they're ever allowed to seize power again.  I'm pretty sure we're still the majority and they still have too much authority.  This insanity must be stopped.

Yesterday I was negative, today I'll at least try to be positive.  They aren't seeing a big bump in support after this week's elections.  I still haven't checked the election results but I haven't heard anything about a massive change, seriously defeating Republicans.  Even in NYC, the biggest competitor was Andrew Cuomo.  The more normal members of the party are seeing problems with these elections, so now Democrats are trying to finish the shutdown and they don't have much leverage.

A one-year extension of Obamacare subsidies is their main talking point.  If they get that, then Congress will "address the health care crisis."  Wasn't that what Obamacare was supposed to fix?  And why only a year, why not make it permanent?  I'm thinking of John Galt's comments towards the end of Atlas Shrugged, where they aren't even trying for a long-term success, they'll take a year, a month, a week, assuming that there will always be another target to leech from.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune says they're not going for it.  Re-open the government, *then* negotiate on Obamacare.  He's also made comments that he's willing to allow a vote on their demands which strikes me as iffy, although it may just mean that it'll go through whatever the Senate rules are to eventually reach a floor vote.  Why don't they just put these negotiations on CSPAN?

Trying to be positive, I do suspect Democrats are closer to breaking down.  They have all the propaganda and empty words but they have nothing to build on.  Republicans keep unanimously voting to re-open the government so if it's all on them, then the government should re-open.  The fact that it hasn't shows that they aren't the real problem and the majority of Americans know it.  We're still getting by without a government, haven't needed to build any replacements yet.  What does the left have, their "shadow government"?

Another strong win and not just because it prevents made-up genders from imposing their will upon everyone else.  It's also a point about freedom of speech, which means the right to insult people.  If you *feel* bad because someone doesn't use your made-up gender pronouns, that's your problem, not theirs.  And the taxpayer-funded government schools cannot dictate what words are required to come out of your mouth.  This shows that their whole point is to indoctrinate students into deciding what others are not permitted to say.

This may wind up going to the Supreme Court but something like this will be hard to overcome in any legal sense.  You can't just flip that around and decide 'oh yes we can censor anyone from saying whatever makes us feel bad!'  You could overrule the courts with this but that would just make any other decisions equally irrelevant.  I know very little about the judicial system (thankfully) but I do know that precedent is a huge part of it.  It totally helps our side and there's no way the *woke* side can find a precedent to help them, even if they get away with in the short-term.

This is just one small victory among the current conflicts going on through the judicial system.  It may not actually be a huge victory against the fake-gender agenda but only because they have already fallen from grace, as it were.  We know the left is still total-believers in this insanity but as far as I can tell, they have almost entirely gone silent about transgenders.  It's not a fight they can win, not now, not ever, and at least in public, they aren't even trying.  But the longer that lasts, the worse it'll get for them.

And this is why we can't have nice things.  Rand Paul's objections are all about how government workers should still get paid even if there's no government to pay them or that they should just re-open the government and ignore the problem.  Neither of those address the point that Rand is still getting his paycheck from taxpayers even without a government but it does show that he's not willing to change that in the slightest, which is the point Kennedy is making.

The people who caused the problem - Congress - aren't suffering from it in the slightest, unlike everybody actually effected by the problem.  That needs to be fixed and Kennedy's proposal is aimed at doing this.  No idea if it has a chance of passing but it would at least make everybody show where they stand on the issue, if they're going to keep getting paid no matter what or if they're willing to have the slightest inconvenience like everyone else.

I'm sure I've made a lot of compliments about Rand Paul over the years but this is just showing that he's really one of the Uniparty.  Which make sense, having inherited it from his father, who spent 23 years in Congress across three separate times in office.  He's not remotely an outsider, he's just presenting himself as one and now that I think about it, I don't recall much of that from Rand over the last decade or so.  There was probably something but he does seem to be coming off as one of those multigenerational congressional families.

Actual problem:  You're getting paid by taxpayers to do nothing.  Solution:  Stop getting paid to do nothing.  Rand's solution:  Avoid this entirely so he keeps getting paid.  Pretty sure there's 0% chance of the bill affecting this shutdown no matter what, it'll only be relevant for future shutdowns, so Rand is wasting even more time with these distractions.

Rand is also attacking Trump for the use of tariffs.  It's one thing to have this debate but this is just pointless.  If the tariffs are an actual problem - and I don't think they are - that's going to continue no matter what.  A better solution would be to put the requirements in writing for Congress to pass so that Trump or anyone else cannot do this again.  Yet another waste-of-time Rand is getting taxpayer-funding for.

Or something like this.  Might just be a bluff, why would a governor how authority to do this?  But my worry is that the left has actually been doing this for a long time, deliberately moving to red states and cities to infiltrate them and wear them down.  They might even think they're doing it because they're not *that* leftist but they always wind up siding with the *woke* crowd.

It's also occurred to me that this is why Muslims side with Democrats.  With the numbers, they can get election victory.  Democrats think it's about pushing leftism but over time, their birth rate goes down and the Muslims stay high.  That's where history comes from.

Now all we need are the Republicans to cave and other judges to start obeying our rulings and everything will be fine.  That's going to happen any day, I promise.  And by the way, I just realized that I wasn't writing this as a joke.

□ [“Trump on Supreme Court Ruling Against Tariffs – 'We’d Have to Pay Back Trillions of Dollars'"]

Like there's not already enough to be worried about.  As I've pointed out, the Supremes have mostly sided with Trump, probably because the Trump administration is smart enough to obey the law.  In fact they just did that again just today, ruling 6-3 that the POTUS has authority to require actual genders be listed on passports.  But there's still a valid reason to worry that they're setting Trump up for a big failure.

There's all the judges ruling against him, at some point they'll just outright ignore the Supremes.  Why not, who's going to stop them?  Add that to the fact that the Republicans are being pushed to cave in on the shutdown.  Soon Trump will be expected to rehire everyone he and DOGE got rid of over the last year.  I hope I'm wrong but I often hope that and often fail to get that.

Plans are to vote on this tomorrow and see if the government opens.  I'm still in the 'don't much care either way' group and I suspect there are lot of others.  What I would like is for the executive branch and Republicans in Congress to have plans in place to trap the leftists in the re-opened government.  I'm not sure what they could do but a win would be very helpful.  Otherwise I suspect a lot of people - possibly including myself - will start giving up.  We'll defend ourselves and those close to us but if they cave in, basically all politicians up to and including Trump will be worthless to us in any real sense.

It's probably depressing because it is, or was, New York City.  The population alone was enough to make it a living American fantasy.  Sure, that doesn't hold up but it shined across the world.  If it hadn't already gotten bad enough, now's their chance.  And it's only been 24 years since 9/11.

□ [“Trump:  End the Filibuster and Pass Bills to Secure Elections – Thune:  'Not Happening'"]

I still don't want the filibuster ended.  But this is where Trump needs to start getting some wins.  Second terms aren't that great for the POTUS.  Clinton just conformed, GWB went along with Democrats to keep the war going, Obama didn't do much anyway.  And now Trump has had elections stolen for Democrats who want to destroy this country, and he can't even get the Senate leader to go with him.

We're still tired of all the losing.  I haven't checked a complete rundown but IIRC, the losses from last night weren't even that big, other than NYC.  Someone who wants to murder his opponents' children, Muslim socialist, that sort of thing.  One or two Muslims did lose mayoral races, if that counts as a win.  I haven't even bothered checking leftist sites, we know this is the happiest they've been in a year.

This is a problem Trump faces, he's getting older and losing his influence, whether he likes it or not.  Will continue to point out his victories but however big they've been for the last year, there's nothing spectacular to point to.  Peace around the world, gas prices lowering, good things and I'm not criticizing that.  But then there's insisting he'd release the Epstein files right away, then saying several months later he'd look into it, then saying he can't believe anybody's still interested in this, and to this day everyone involved is still walking around loose.  Stuff like that matters.

Some solid wins are definitely needed right now.  Otherwise he'll wind up where all the other two-termers end up and it'll just get worse by the mid-terms.  I keep saying there's a long range plan underway but I can't really point to any evidence.  This is where you need regular points to demonstrate that progress is made.  Stop antagonizing your own supporters.

A good move in some ways, it might be a bad move in others.  There's not much money available to spend (officially) so there's that.  He's defying judges who insisted he pay regardless, which is a good thing but also leaves the possibility that higher courts will do that too.  The Supreme Court has mostly sided with him but that can change at any time.  Then there's the fact that was initially going to comply with the judges, this just seems to be changing his mind for no reason.  If it's about the lack of money, why didn't he say that in the first place?

□ [“President of National Air Traffic Controllers Association Urges Democrats to End the Shutdown’"]

Another federal union - and I still want to know why these people are in the government and not the airlines or airports - and why government workers get to unionise! - against the Democrats.  This has to be hitting them deep, since they pretend to care for workers *and* unions.  Last we heard, Democrats were waiting to see how the elections went so what will they do now?

□ [“Senate Nearing ‘Three-Legged’ Deal to End Government Shutdown"]

This is one of those things that just comes off like it was always a plan and the rest was just putting on a show.  For that matter, someone somewhere in the government might have thought this was the way to go and eventually his name will come out and he'll be proclaimed the hero (or villain) of the whole thing.

This sounds like three bills.  It's not clear in what order they'd be done or if they're all tied to each other.  One covers military, legislative and agriculture spending, one covers Obamacare tax credits and then there's a continuing resolution to cover negotiations for an actual budget.  Obviously there's no other info so there's really no reason to see hope or despair.

The 'continuing resolution' would just continue the *woke* spending but I'm not sure that could be avoided at this point, at least not if we want the government open.  The other spending bill might be *woke* but it would probably pass easily, especially if it's not connected to the other two.  The Obamacare tax credits sound like the biggest fight, the one where I'm worried Republicans would give up, and the biggest question about if it's attached to the other two bills.

At the moment, I'm not enthused either way.  I believe the shutdown is now becoming the longest one in history, another record set by Trump.  I would probably say vote against all of them just because but I don't have any greater thoughts on the matter.

They've gotten everything without joining the EU, what incentive do they have to change now?  They made this request to join a couple days after Russia invaded so eventually the EU needs to pretend they take it seriously and can't just ignore their own rules.  Just give them more money and they promise this time they'll try to change.

Even some liberal media are turning against Zelensky, calling him authoritarian for censoring press and banning opposing political parties.  He's done that for years, why are they only bothered by it now?  He's still doing it, there are still upcoming elections such as the mayor of Odessa and Kiev, so he's attacking opponents there too.  It's suggested that Britain and the EU are indeed tired of supporting Ukraine and this might be the main reason why leftists are starting to suddenly turn against them.

Russia is still moving forward, surrounding 10,000 Ukrainians in Donetsk.  They're also ready to take Odessa which, besides basically being part of Russia anyway, would also cut Ukraine off from the water.  I'd have to check but wasn't Odessa one of the central point of conflict all along?  Both sides always believe it's theirs and if it's currently occupied by the enemy, they'll work to change that.

This war has really fallen off the radar.  Whatever military-age males are left are now ditching Ukraine, nobody seems to care.  Or put up walls to keep them out of any other country.  A month ago, the CIA declassified a report on Joe Biden's trip to Ukraine a decade ago and the help and money Hunter got from that.  This also gets no attention.  Yet another example of why problems halfway around the world shouldn't automatically be a high priority, and yes I'm aware that contradicts Trump's recent comments about Nigeria and Ukraine itself.

So this is is showing the mess we have with Trump on the way out as POTUS.  He's still got three years and has usually showed that he's an exception to the rules but it's just not encouraging to see this, and it's only a fraction of the international problems he (and we) face.  But he is showing that even 'America first' has its limits.

Day 35 without a federal government.  Democracy's not going to make it if we don't start stealing more elections.  There's too many people out there who might vote the wrong way so we need to stop them.  Or at least replace them with more subservient voters.  Trump would never be able to think of that in a million years, that's why the government had to shut down.  Ummm, am I missing a step there?  Oh well, never mind.

Hopefully we'll steal enough elections tonight to justify re-opening the government because otherwise it's going to stay shut until the next elections and we'll get another chance.  It's so depressing that we have nothing else to do except wait until we've gained enough power to have a federal government again.  But it won't re-open until we're told to re-open it and then we'll obey.  That's what freedom's all about.

Huge Fireball Erupts After UPS Plane Crashes Near Louisville Airport – Three Crew Members Dead
November 4, 2025

As I write this, it's moving to late-evening.  I've deliberately avoided checking on the election results but to the extent I have, there's still no results whatsoever, which seems quite strange.  Sure, by the time I finish this, I'll probably check and find out the Democrats stole everything across the board, but for the moment, I'm wondering what the pause.  The media must be wary about reporting because last year they were so confident they'd win.  I'd also like to think federal agents are involved, making sure illegal ballots won't be counted.

Although I'm sure our side will lose, I'd like to see an actual victory for a change.  Sensible people don't vote in mid-term elections because duh, but maybe this time will be different.  Maybe seeing the left respond to Charlie Kirk's murder made a lot of people determined to keep these lunatics out of power.  Even if it doesn't, maybe we can get a better sense of who is or isn't the enemy.

And if by some miracle our side actually wins overall tonight, the Democrats will have no choice but to reflect on how they got to this position, why they're driving everyone away.  Sure, they'll still whine about imaginary tyranny but anybody with a lick of sense will realize that nonsense needs to stop immediately.

Still, I'd better start thinking about what our side should do to recognize the loss.  One real problem with this war is how deeply the opposing side is attached to every part of society.  At least an actual 'win' tonight for us would show that they've reached a limit but since I doubt that will happen, they'll see doubling down as the best way to go, and have evidence to point to that.  Doesn't matter if the Trump administration has some larger plan underway, this is a solid loss and we're tired of that.

And just checking, Virginia governor has been called for the Democrat.  That's the first result of the night but probably not the last defeat.  And a while later, as I finish tonight's writing, it's finally coming in that all the others have won, just as I predicted.  Haven't heard from all of them yet but...

Boasberg authorized the DoJ and the FBI in April 2022 to go after individuals and businesses in the first Trump administration.  "Arctic Frost" was the FBI's name for this project.  Without evidence or anything to go on, they spied on Republicans because they could, basically Republican donors and big-names, including members of Congress.  Usually you tell people when they're under investigation and helping yourself to their personal documents but not here.

FBI head Christopher Wray and Special Counsel Jack Smith seem to have been mostly in-charge of this although there's any number of other names we've heard about for the last several years.  And for all this investigation, they don't seem to have found any crimes worth-mentioning.  This is basically a sequel to "Russiagate" and does have some of the same players.

Some facts of "Russiagate" are coming out now, almost ten years later, reportedly found in the SCIF Kash Patel discovered a few months ago.  James Comey's notes from September 26, 2016 on the plans to link Trump to Russia.  He also believed he'd get a good position in the Hillary administration for doing this, showing that's not about law enforcement or anything like that, it's entirely political.  After two terms of Obama, what else could it be?

This does seem to be setting up the enemy although there's still no clue what's going to be done about it.  Most of the people subpoenaed to Congress to testify about this didn't bother to show up and obviously aren't going to be punished.  Since there is no Congress for the time being, it seems more likely that this will just be forgotten about like everything else of any real importance.

□ [“What Soros Really Wants"]

Just some tweets about a female Serbian Jewish elitist who works for Soros' Open Society Foundations.  Of course she's been honored all over Europe and these are probably just random snaps of her comments somewhere.  Either her writing was translated or she's generic leftist elite because it's not good.  The first part reads:

"I believe the time has come for a responsible, courageous elite, those who care far more about addressing the genuine social problems than about election results.  Only a political elite with vision, prudence and a focus on the general good — to whom the electorate, with their active involvement in public life, can cede part of their sovereignty in the elections [for a precisely defined term of office] — will be able to justify public trust and spearhead what is probably the most serious battle for the future of humanity and our civilization:  our struggle to survive."

The second part - which is all the same paragraph - is her impression of how many people react to this, "this is a naive utopia, it is impossible in this day and age" but it's not clear where she stops that impression and begins responding to it.  Most of the rest of the paragraph would be more of that, but it's not clear if she's defending it.  At least until the end where she mentions the next pandemic and how the temperature will rise by 4 degrees celsius by the end of the century so apparently anything justifies fighting against that.  As I say, she's not a good writer.

But the reason this struck out at me was because it seemed to be a modern version of feudalism.  I've always said that's essentially want the ideal leftist government is, the self-appointed 'those who know best' dictating to the rest of us peons, so really this is nothing new.  But given that she's part of the elite and has been promoted by Soros for decades, I've been wondering how many of these people already see themselves this way.  Could anybody picture Al Gore or John Kerry or most Hollywood celebrities seeing her comment and saying 'no way!  That's totally wrong!'?

Not sure what, but something about this seems to be almost literally what these elites have infested us with through our entire lives.  I've often speculated if it goes back further than that, perhaps by centuries.  But either way, they would be there as long-distance travel and communication became a thing, along with movies, home television and of course the internet.  They'd be able to work out how to use these against us before most of us had ever even heard of them.  They could make plans around them and push this using rich globalists like Soros.

Not official, she hasn't said anything about it, this just comes from unnamed Democrats, as usual.  But it's probably true.  There's her age, her health, her wealth, not to mention the fact that the rest of the party probably wants her gone.  It's been almost a year since she filed for re-election so it might be interesting to see who she picks to replace her in this installed position.  What are the odds she selects her daughter?  That's how nobility functions.

Reportedly she's waiting to see the results of this week's elections, specifically a California vote on redistricting.  California is a 'one party state' so I'm sure it'll win but this seems a stupid excuse.  What did Nancy do to make it happen?  Might as well cite the Virginia and NYC elections that are probably being stolen as I write this.

It's unclear how much things will actually change.  She stopped leading House Democrats only in the official sense.  She still makes all the decisions and lets the male she installed take the blame, there's no reason to think that'll change when she's actually out of office.  But she is old and weak so Democrats would like a change in leadership.  Perhaps she'll still call the shots or maybe she'll think that's happening but the others just ignore her.

She used to be popular back when she was young and being passed around, now she's in her mid-30s.  She's been in over 30 movies, over half of them between 2011 to 2016.  Don't know if she was the "it" girl at any point but it's clearly as prominent as she'll ever get.  So now she says this stuff and is still quite self-absorbed about it.  Someone could have told her this ten or fifteen years ago and she would have ignored it.

That said, there's still some progress being made.  It probably has more to do with the failure of the last few years of strikes, the damage to the theater industry and the upcoming danger posed by A.I. but at least some in Hollywood might be realizing they've gone too far.  There's just no incentive to put up with these rich idiots who look down on the rest of us.  If Mark Hammill can make the only good Star Wars trilogy unwatchable, any career and any franchise can be over very quickly.  [Not saying he's done that, just pointing out the possibility.]

But I don't think this will work very well either.  Actors are considered the most lower-class of artists with their self-absorption and movies are the most hypocritical collectivist of artforms.  Even the cheapest ones require dozens of people and a lot of money to make even a crappy work, any other art form focuses more on the work of the individual.  Lawrence is just hurting because her star-power is gone and being a hissy leftist didn't help.

For a tyrant, he's sure willing to comply a lot.  Maybe that's how kings roll, I wouldn't know.  But judges can give just give orders.  Given all the money the Trump administration has moved around, I'm sure they have some back-ups and this would conveniently end the threat of looting for the time being.  But the recipients wouldn't know how long this will last so they've got incentive to demand the government re-open and that means Democrats have to get out of the way.

I don't see anything specific on "partially" covering the benefits but it's noted that a lot of this money goes to illegal immigrants who are then told to vote for Democrats.  It's also noted that a lot of recipients are spending these benefits on expensive food and other goodies.  Why not, it's not like they need to get a job.  I would guess these people are the first ones to not get any benefits.

It's also noted that leftist states are hiding their SNAP data from the federal government, implying that they use this to win over a lot of voters.  I've suspected for a while that the Democrat base is getting smaller because of the old people and more manufactured for what remains.  Bribing illegals may be one of their main sources of votes at this point so if they're not getting anything, they'll leave.

It's already coming out that he's bribing and instructing illegals how to vote for him.  I hope the Trump administration is at least following him to see everything the left does to steal elections so they can have preparations ready by next year.  They have already found 'cash for votes' operations going on in North Carolina so I hope they're working on this.  They're also finding law enforcement officials who work for the cartels - Mississippi specifically - so there's probably even more connections.

More than just hoping that I'm wrong and the left really does lose tomorrow's elections, I'd like to think that the Trump administration has really cut down a lot of the structures they'd always relied on.  Someone like Mandani would never have gotten anywhere in the old days but now he can go straight towards the seat of power surrounded by applause and doesn't have to actually accomplish anything.

Russia's a little busy right now, might not be able to send fresh military supplies across the Pacific and through the canal.  Maybe call back next year.  Meanwhile China's negotiating with the US about a lot of things and whether they're serious or not, they're not going to mess up their plans by suddenly protecting Venezuela.  Their priority is China and Maduro shouldn't forget that.

Officially Trump still hasn't made a decision, which I assume is totally false.  We're fighting that trafficking boats but aren't told much else, which makes sense.  If Maduro is taken down, that'll probably be immediately known around the world and we're probably contacting anyone we can that might make that happen soon.  I'm pretty sure Trump does not want to send in any large number of troops but he'll give the impression that he'll do anything.  He's just that nuts, which the left keeps promoting.

So what's Maduro going to do?  He's a leftist dictator so he's unpopular anyway.  He didn't even get the benefit of taking power himself, he was just installed by his predecessor, another leftist dictator but much more popular among the left.  He has to be paranoid just to keep his job but now even the people around him see his time is running short, not to mention the public.

There are other BRICS members who might help but effectively if China and Russia aren't going to help him, he's screwed.  There's no one else to turn to other than his own subordinates who might want to gain power more than they want to protect him at all costs.  It might still take a while but it looks like Trump is headed for another win without needing a war.

10 People Wounded at Mass Stabbing on English Train – Police Now Say It's Not a Terrorist Attack
November 2, 2025

Day 33 without a federal government.  Man, it's just so freaky to not have a government we have to obey.  Not that we obeyed anyway, but you get my point.  Wait, what is my point?  We need a government we can ignore and we blame the people who voted to keep open the government we didn't want and we'll vote for the people who took the government away because we want a government...  Look, just vote Democrat, ok?  That explains everything.

We're getting kind of burned out that this is lasting so long.  I keep telling everyone that we'll all die without the government to protect us but a couple weeks ago they got sick and tired of me saying that every day.  And you know, now that I put it like that, I kinda see their point.  They still need to die so I can prove I was right, but if being without a government doesn't kill them, we need to re-open the government so they can finally die.  Because we care so much.

□ [“National Guard and Police Battle Hundreds of Rioting Juveniles in DC on Halloween"]

I think this is the first incident we've heard of from DC in a few months.  Now *maybe* it's just Halloween and the kids are going to act all nutty but it's best to assume this was deliberate.  They were sent out by their masters to attack.  It's a little more complicated, the details suggest they started out fighting each other but then the NG and police got involved so they became the targets.  But the kids had all gathered together where they knew the NG and police were.  Perhaps they were gangs that had been given orders and fought each other first just because that's the normal thing to do.

The black female DC mayor - whom we haven't heard much from since she decided to support the Trump administration - has imposed an 11pm curfew for the week on anyone under 18.  Her black female police chief also spoke outspoken out in favor of the police making sure this doesn't happen again.  My impression is that these two were told they wouldn't keep their jobs if they continued supporting the left and since then, they've tried to be good girls.  At least in public but given how little attention DC has gotten since then, I think that's what they're doing.

But all these gangs could do was fight each other and the police, meaning they don't have many other available targets in DC.  Someone should ask Democrats in Congress why they aren't complaining about this but we know the answer.  They'd just look stupid to their voters who which there'd be more law enforcement in their communities.  For that matter, the noise seems to have stopped for the time being about Trump sending forces into other cities.  No clue what's going on but my guess would be that he's winning whatever the argument is about.

□ [“Sen. John Fetterman Says Democrats Are to Blame For Government Shutdown"]
□ [“AOC Claims Most Americans Are ‘Disgusted’ by Trump"]

The latest rumor is that Democrats are holding off on the shutdown until after this week's elections.  The point is to see how much they were hit by last year's elections and the results since then.  No matter what happens I'm not sure any of this will make much difference since they're competing against each other on whose vision is best for the party.  AOC hasn't actually talked to a hundred million Americans but she claims to know what they all think.  Wouldn't it be easier to just tell her what she wants to hear and she'll believe it?

□ [“Gavin Newsom Embraces Election Denial — Says Trump is Already ‘Rigging’ The Midterms"]
□ [“Newsom Claims Biden Is Fit to Serve — Then Says He 'Hates When Politicians Lie to You'"]

And other Democrats are trying to make their own play.  Is Newsom on drugs, he's just coming off as being in another state of consciousness here.  He certainly can't fit in with Fetterman or AOC but this shows how the party is falling apart.  The worry about the upcoming elections probably makes this even worse for them, the last month of government shutdown is hanging over them and they have no clue if voters will fall for this.

I still assume they've got the elections handled no matter what but I also still hope to be wrong about that.  It would be very nice to see that there's an unstoppable majority of sane people out there, even Democrats.  My back-up choice would be that the thefts are so obvious that there's no way the party can ignore it anymore and they'll just make things worse for themselves by carrying on.  This would also mean the Trump administration could see how their election thefts work and would be in a better position to stop them a year from now.

It gets even bigger, Elon Musk just told Joe Rogen that this was about the illegal immigrant vote.  Democrats only win elections by paying them off so they've shut down the government until they get that back.  So in a sense, this is the party's last chance to win elections.  And there's more.  Obamacare benefits are being cut off unless Democrats win votes to keep them going.  This was deliberately scheduled precisely to bribe (or extort) voters into going along when required, 'vote for us this November or you'll lose everything in a few months!'  This is how their plans are designed and installed on the public.

□ [“Uber CEO Predicts All Cars Autonomous in 20 Years; Driving a ‘Hobby’ Like Horseback Riding"]

Not someone who understands the mentality of driving a car.  It lets you control your own movement and direction without relying on someone (or something) else to make decisions.  In just a few hours, you can get a gas tank of distance away from the wife, the job, whatever else you want to escape.  Then, if you have the money, you can fill the tank and get even further.  No one's going to give that up to let A.I. do everything.

I get the impression that most people are willing to step back away from the most current technology trends.  A.I. is the most obvious example, simply because we cannot and should not trust it, but there's also the urge to return to simpler times when we had to things for ourselves, even with all the advantages of technology.  Another example is the way people are posting videos of actual bands making music, even if they're just covering fun songs from decades ago.  There's an appeal to what A.I. can do with some of this but it's just better to have actual people doing the work.

I've even heard somewhere that old-school video games are making a comeback, because they require so much devotion to their attempted stories.  It's just an amusing waste of time to have dots blip other dots instead of having to fit into this manufactured fantasy.  There's also the same impression from people being interested in old movies instead of modern garbage.  I'm not saying it's a good use of time but there's still more creativity and actual thought going into it than cgi-dominated corporate IPs.

I'm not saying this is a massive improvement in our lives, just the fact that everybody (myself included) is addicted to our cellphones is a problem.  We need to remember that this technology is a tool to benefit what's important in our lives, it's not supposed to be the center of everything.

□ [“U.N. Human Rights Chief Condemns Trump’s ‘Unacceptable’ Strikes Against Cartel Operations, Demands Investigations"]
□ [“Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) Cries About Trump’s Strikes on Drug Boats — ‘No Evidence Whatsoever’ of Links to Cartel"]

The UN is a centerpoint to keep the world elites in line and Blumenthal is quite rich, as you'd expect from a Senator who went to Yale with Bill and Hillary.  So they're always on the side of the traffickers.  So you should expect them to immediately speak out and protect drug-movers from the law.  But it's not like they can do anything and only western leftists even care what these people have to say.

I'm guessing the cartels are at least part of Venezuela's front-lines, with a lot of connections to the rest of the world.  Whether Blumenthal or the UN Human Rights Chief is one of their executives or just paid help is probably irrelevant but this does help show who's on what side.  One advantage, if you can call it that, is that Trump has a military who can actually do something about this.  Whatever forces and weapons the enemy has, they have to stay hidden because they can't fight back this way.

I'm still not sure what the point of BRICS is or what role they're playing in this war but Trump has been making moves against them.  First Iran, now Venezuela.  Russia and China are harder nuts to crack but he's been engaging with them all year.  It continues to be annoying that we can't tell who's on what side and why just by looking at their uniforms.  Wars aren't supposed to be like that.

And just a note, there are huge massacres of Christians going on in Nigeria.  Trump is paying attention to it, so of course the UN and Democrats will want it to continue.  Maybe they'd have a different view if it wasn't whites being killed but...

Florida Man Demands Violence, Posts Death Threats Against ICE Agents on BlueSky
November 1, 2025

Day 32 without a federal government.  You know how unfair this is?  Now I have to count to remember how many days it's been!  Yesterday it was all nice and easy, just check the date and there's all the numbers I need.  But now I need to figure out what date it is and then work out how many to add and that's impossible.  Nobody can count over 31 and we shouldn't have to.  That's why A.I. was invented but Trump makes us do it anyway!

When the government re-opens, Democrats should take over and then make Trump count that high.  That would take the rest of his life to figure out, a suitable punishment for what he put us though.  This is why schools are run by Democrats so the kids don't have to learn about such wimpy things as counting.  You can tell by how high our schools rank on the charts, at least that's what they tell me.

□ [“Kamala Harris Says She Signed ‘Hundreds of Treaties’ — Records Show None Exist"]

She has no idea what a treaty is.  If she did, she'd know that Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution specifies that signing treaties is only for the POTUS, with Senate advice and consent.  Nothing to do with her, but she says this anyway.

She recently made another stupid comment about how the voting age needs to be reduced to 16 because of global warming.  Apparently children are scared they're all going to die so...  None of these things have any connection to each other yet she's just spouting off.  I don't know if it's a literal mental illness or if she's just being pushed out to say these things in public so the Democratic Party can shrug and point to reason why they don't want anything else to do with her.

I've been getting that impression from other wanna-be girl-bosses in the party.  I don't know how much of it comes from them or just from the people surrounding them, but AOC is ranging from running for POTUS to competing against Schumer for the Senate, without pointing to anything she's ever done in her three terms in the House.  And she's one of the most popular in the party.

Jasmine Crockett also says another stupid thing, how she'll spend lots of money to poll whether or not she should run for Senate.  Nothing stereotypical about chicks who can't bother holding onto a job for more than a few years.  No wonder they're driving the old people in the party nuts.  They may not be young themselves but they're several decades different in age from their leaders.  But they're all going bonkers at the same time.  And maybe just a coincidence but none of these chicks have any kids.

□ [“Michelle Obama Says America Did Not Show Her Family ‘Grace’ Because They Were Black"]

Oh please.  You sent your young daughter to work for Harvey Weinstein and to this day get fewer questions about that than Hillary Clinton does for all the money Weinstein gave her.  Or for all his Hollywood allies he got to give her money.  The only reason you're not getting any "grace" is because you hang out with liberals and are completely useless to them.  Maybe get out of your mansion and meet some real people for a change.  Or just go on your podcast, how's that doing these days?

The Obamas continue to show that they're definitely living in the past, isolated from any change in public opinion.  Just a few days ago, Obama advocated government censorship of the internet.  As if that wasn't stupid enough, nobody has bothered to ask if he'd support Trump doing exactly that.  It's this sort of thing that shows how liberalism is self-destructive and is always going to focus on judging people incorrectly, especially by skin color.

It's been almost a decade since the Obama's became 'past tense.'  Longer if you count that the media was already preparing for Hillary to be installed and Obama was just a puppet for whoever was really in charge.  We can see that as he goes out to Virginia to oppose people voting for the female black candidate when just last year he was telling black men to shut up and vote for who he told them to.  As far as I know, they've had the sense to stop promoting the fictional genders but that's about as far as they can go back to reality.

And this is how the government parasite operates, you're not permitted to leave ever.  It's almost like you become their property forever.  Or at least until you die, then they'll just rule others for life.  And it's all in gratitude because they permitted you to start a company.

Of course a majority of the donations he's received come from outside NYC, so either he's planning to control a much wider range than just this city or he's being controlled by the same.  Probably both, that's leftism for you.  No wonder large media corporations love him so much.

Until further notice, I assume he'll win the election no matter what it takes.  I'd like to be as surprised as I was a year ago but I wouldn't place any bets on this.  Just makes you think of one of the final scenes in Atlas Shrugged as the main characters leave NYC.  Unlike Ayn Rand, I'm sensible enough to include a Billy Joel song on the soundtrack but anyway...

There's also some recent note about him lying about his aunt who turned out to be his father's cousin because these people don't know the difference.  She was hassled for wearing a hijab in NYC after 9/11 because... she lived in Tanzania and opposed Islam so there's no record of him wearing a hijab there either.  Whether it's his skin color, religion or leftism, he's making up the standard lies about family members as an excuse to gain more power.
