□ [“Trump Requests Court Unseal Epstein Files – Trump May Have Helped Put Epstein Behind Bars"]

I've been hoping all year that the incessant delay for any release was to set up a trap for the left to rush into.  This is a motion to a federal judge in Florida to open the files that have been sealed.  Or stored on Hillary's private server, it's not clear.  But we've heard for months this is what Democrats want.  I'm expecting this judge to refuse and then we'll see what happens.

Presumably Congress would vote to open them, but then it's not clear what laws they have been sealed under.  Then what judges, up to the Supreme Court, get to decide to ignore that?  Then there's the question of how many of these judges or members of Congress are listed in these files.  They'd have to publicly insist on keeping them secret and it's easy to guess how the left would react to that.

I assume those in charge have formed a defense against this.  The Clintons have been given another chance to testify before Congress on December 17 and 18, I assume they'll ignore that too because they can get away with it.  Ghislaine Maxwell won't be told to testify because her lawyer says she'll just plead the 5th.  Then why has she suddenly been treated so nicely?

Ex-Prince Andrew has also been told to testify but it's assumed he'll ignore Congress because he's not American.  Ok but he's also not a member of the British royal family so what influence does he still have, or money?  His ex-wife Fergie might need money (or revenge) because it sounds like she's planning to give a tell-all interview for the cash.  This is another thing the elites have to worry about, that everybody who ever worked for them might find incentive to spill the beans.

And it would be hilarious if the files come out and show that Trump was always involved in getting Epstein arrested.  How would they handle that?  All these months of insisting he was Epstein's ally and all they get is finding out it was everyone else.

□ [“New Jersey Governor-Elect Mikie Sherill Threatens to Withhold Federal Taxes to Resist Trump"]

California has made a similar threat.  Once again leftists are fine with not doing something they want to force others to do.  There are laws requiring payment of taxes, but I guess somehow these don't apply to everybody?  They're not even trying to explain that.

Oh, and as working class people usually know, we don't get a choice.  The money's just taken out of our paychecks before we ever get our hands on it.  Filing our taxes every year is the only chance we have of getting any of that back.  So I'm guessing these threats, as laughable as they are, don't include the poor.  That's leftism, I guess.

It's been commented that this is just for state employees.  So the state government can keep the federal government from getting taxes?  That's still a crime and now there's just incentive to not pay state taxes either.  Just looking for more laws that apply to some people but not others.

I'm guessing this is related to the NYC Muslim socialist making similar idiotic demands.  This was probably the next step in the Trump administration's plans, that these states would be openly advocating insurrection and Civil War 2.0.  They're not only going to learn what it's like when the federal government doesn't support them, but what happens when their fellow states don't help them either.

Food, minerals, gasoline, most of that comes from the people you hate and there's no way China is going to replace them.  You'll also find that seizing all your rich people's money won't get you as far as expected, so you'll need to seize poor people's money too.  There's a lot more of them.

□ [“Trump to Terminate Temporary Protected Status for Minnesota Somalis — Effective Immediately"]

Definitely a major step.  A wide range of arguments can be made for or against immigration but the real block is that you must conform to the new place you live.  Their language, their culture, their rules, not yours.  We've seen this for the last year or so of Somalis openly-admitting that they're doing this for Somalia, not the US.  There is no form of immigration, these are invaders trying to take power and need to be treated that way.

With the help of leftist politicians like governor Tim Walz, they're looting as much taxpayer money as they can get and sending it to Somalia to fund terrorist groups.  I will just assume a lot more immigrants are doing this, it's the Somalis who get the attention because they have politicians and members of Congress.  Ilhan Omar is in "the squad."

Whether they admit it or not, this is really what the 'new world order' is about.  It's not about peace and understanding on a global scale, it's funding the barbarians to take over everywhere.  Might be more complicated but that could explain all the aspects of leftism.  Transgenders, thinking biology is too complicated so you can just make up whatever.  Earth worship, that's a given.  Global warming, an excuse to ban machines that brought us all progress.  Feudalism as the ideal, the loving government that controls everything for the commoners.  Emotion making all the decisions.  Africa didn't invent all this but it's never gotten past it, so leftists want that to be the model for the rest of the world.

So should we just assume Trump has always been a sucker or did he somehow get persuaded by socialism and Islam?  There is a chance that he called the shots and Mamdani knows who's in charge but, well, that doesn't seem very likely.  He's pretending to agree because he knows he can get away with it.

Mandami is already admitting that taxes have to go up a lot because he has no other clue how to pay for everything he's promised so the failure is already built in.  He's already had to pull back on sending social workers instead of police to handle violent criminals.  I don't really want to see NYC collapse but it should just be taken as a given now, so why is Trump of all people going along with this?  He's always been a New Yorker at heart, why is he going along with this?

I'm not even sure what else to say, this is just too depressing to think about.  Since Islam always overrides socialism, is that how Trump and Mandami are really interacting?  I really don't get why Trump would have put up with him for a single minute otherwise.  I would like some proof that Trump's not a puppet of the 'new world order' at this point and any "wins" should be seen in that light.

And just remembered a few details which support my "Muslim" theory, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman visited the White House several days ago.  A week before that, he was visited by Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, who was the leader of an Al-Qaida offshoot before he got this  job.  The only thing to be glad about is that they're coming to visit him, not the other way around.

Gee, aren't all crimes "isolated incidents"?  If someone who committed that many felonies was given freedom to do that to you, would it still be an "isolated incident"?  Well that's why you're surrounded by men with guns, unlike poor people in your town.  There's a new video of Chicago blacks beating up a pregnant black woman who was trying to protect her son from them, I guess that's an isolated incident too.

We also hear about the most-recent judge who set the black guy free so he could burn women on the Chicago train.  She (of course it's female) was flat-out told that he was dangerous and violent but just dismissed this, “I can’t keep everybody in jail because the State’s Attorney wants me to.”  Maybe not but she had a chance to keep a violent criminal in jail and specifically refused to do that.

She'd better start being asked about this a lot.  Unfortunately, even if there's suddenly a federal law that judges get punished equally with the criminals they set free, it wouldn't apply to all of those judges doing it now so she'll get away with it.  But keep asking her twenty times a day for the rest of her life what message she has for the woman set on fire because of her and if she ever has any regrets.

I do often wonder if the articles I cite have any connection to reality.  Stuff like this makes a good example.  Either one of them seems odd to say the least, but they happen on the same day, just as Trump is meeting with the NYC Muslim socialist?  What next, Sydney Sweeney knocking me on my door and begging me to make her feel like a real woman?

I really haven't followed the issue with Greene.  Haven't checked but I'm sure I've said nice things about her in the past.  Suddenly she had arguments with Trump this week, ran on The View to oppose him, and just like that she's quitting in January.  I've long suspect that a lot of Republicans are RINOs, specifically planted by the left to turn against the party whenever they're called upon, this might be what Greene was doing.  Or she may have just been purged by Trump.  I remember saying nice things about Nikki Haley too.

And the 'horrors of socialism'?  I'm not sure what the point of this was, I'm definitely not sure why so many Democrats would go along.  No evidence but I'm wondering if this is more like when they wanted to limit abortion and ban gay marriage.  In hindsight, it comes off as more like something to work on, which it sure sounds like they did over the next twenty or thirty years.  Or maybe it's just easier to do this than to actually start busting the traitors and perverts who are walking around loose.

Supreme Court Overturns Ruling Against Texas Congressional Redistricting
November 21, 2025

□ [“Larry Summers, Clinton's Treasury Secretary, Steps Down from Teaching at Harvard"]

He's a white male, maybe that's why he's the only one who seems to be facing any consequences for this.  Even the media is starting to report a few things about him that had already been public knowledge, like he spent part of his honeymoon on Epstein Island - almost exactly 20 years ago, December 2005 - when Epstein was already being investigated for sexual assault.

The Virgin Islands chick in Congress is trying to say she was just taking orders from a random voter when she followed his texted instructions in Congress.  Never mind that she had specifically asked him for campaign donations, or how even had her number.  Hakeem Jeffries is being asked about this on CNN and avoids answering.  That's about it for consequences so far.

But to the extent I've paid attention, it does look like Democrats have suddenly gone silent about this.  They'll still say Trump was one of Epstein's besties but not much else.  It's also come out that about 83% (IIRC) of his campaign donations went to Democrats and nobody was remotely bothered by that but if they keep bringing Epstein up, they'll have to explain this.  Why is such an evil guy who hates Trump and really wants sex with children finding such allies among Democrats?

Maybe I'm just desperate for a bit of optimism, but this could cause more problems for the left.  These files aren't even classified so we still don't know what these people did privately with Epstein but the fact that they're always on the same side is very suspicious.  So they really don't want more info to be released, despite spending the last several months demanding the complete release of everything there is to know.  They can't square that circle.  This includes politicians still in office, how many of them do they want to suffer just to make yet-another-attempt to go after Trump?

Then there's the question of why the Biden administration kept all this hidden.  Can't blame Trump in his first term for everything.  Epstein's first arrest for sexual assault was in Obama's first term, so why did he stay so popular among Democrats.  Furthermore, there's the issue of what the left is supposed to babble about now, having spent all these months insisting Epstein would explain everything?

Maybe blacks shouldn't be allowed to buy gasoline or ride trains.  The woman did survive so that's something.  No word of the skincolor of the other passengers who did nothing to help.  But if they had helped, they might have been arrested.  I'm deliberately not looking up which cities (or countries) have literally punished people for not trying to help a stranger from a violent criminal.  The left just pushes that worldwide so does it really matter where they've actually made it official?  Either way, Chicago would be a likely guess to do that.

Multiple arrests in just the last several years for multiple counts of assault, battery and arson.  And he's still allowed to walk around loose.  At least defense attorneys have an excuse to do their jobs, every judge who let him go should receive the same punishment as the criminal.  Otherwise there's no reason to trust the law or obey.  Once again, Chicago is a primary example of that.

Does the left expect vigilantism to happen so they can blame the kkk or do they have no clue what this will lead to?  I do assume this is one part of the judicial conflict, that they can keep ignoring crimes by the correct skin color.  If they really wanted to prove that some races just don't belong in a civilized nation, what would they be doing differently?

□ [“Pressure on Zelensky to Sign the New 28-Point Peace Plan for the Russia-Ukraine War"]

Sounds like there's a goal of getting these signed by Thanksgiving.  With Venezuela, it's about telling Maduro that this is his last chance to get away.  Free elections - if those are possible - will be held when he's gone.  With Ukraine, it's a bit more complicated.  Zelensky is expected to sign, then it'll be sent to Russia for approval.  As the winner, Russia gets most of the benefits.  The main sticking point will be that it doesn't sound like they get Odessa, which is not yet under Russian control.

Otherwise it's about what you'd expect, Russia keeps most of the places it's conquered, sanctions are dropped and Ukraine can never join NATO.  That's fine, but Ukraine's sovereignty is guaranteed (I could live with that) and the US guarantees Ukraine's security (not so much.)  First of all, we've already promised that, which is how we got here.  Not a good thing.  Second of all I am fine with the US being the world policeman but that doesn't mean we need to tie ourselves into protecting everybody.  Long-established allies, ok.  Anybody else, not ok.

Then there's the fact that Russia doesn't need to agree.  They'll take Odessa soon enough so why give in on that?  The EU is already pushing against this peace deal so no matter what, that'll be the next problem to face.  Venezuela might actually be a good step forward, Ukraine just looks like a bad deal no matter what happens.  The best I can say is it could have happened earlier.

Not optimistic about this but Trump has crossed the Rubicon.  They'll just say they didn't *actually* call for disobedience, they didn't even specify any "illegal orders" he had given, but he is definitely declaring sedition on them.  I'm worried this may come off as a victory for them because they were too lazy to point to anything and he reacted by, well, being Trump.

Even worse, Congress will definitely defend these traitors against Trump.  About the only hope I can see is if this really has been planned since January 20.  Otherwise Trump's reaction and carrying it out would be indistinguishable from being a dictator.  Or a military commander, which he is, but that's going to be an even harder line to follow.  And who's going to decide what's right?

Is this really the hill to die on?  Some of these Democrats are retired veterans, Trump could call them back in and use UCMJ but that seems quite iffy.  For that matter, how many of Trump's supporters would actually see this as a good idea?  Every Democrat and RINO will be against us, the best hope is that they're too lazy to really fight.  Civil War 2.0 is here.

This may be connected to the Democrats and their 'disobey unlawful orders' statements.  If it's supposedly illegal to do this then they need to disobey or be punished.  Otherwise what's the point?  Statistics just came out on how low crime in DC has gotten in the last couple months, you really want to change that?  Well, yes, the left does, but sane people wouldn't.

The judge even paused her ruling to give Trump time to appeal.  That just makes it look like the fix is in, that higher courts have already been selected and instructed to carry out this verdict.  I keep saying that and I've mostly been wrong so far but best to be on the safe side.  Otherwise why would they have waited so long to even bother with a verdict on this?

Problem is that this just seems ridiculous.  Leaving aside the reduction in crime, it's a basic fact, the POTUS determines there's an emergency and can send in the National Guard.  The leftist female black DC mayor has agreed to let them stay longer than the one-month limit.  I'm pretty sure the Supreme Court has ruled in Trump's favor on this issue multiple times so far so by all rights, this should be quickly dismissed.  Democrats could just be demanding Congress take back control over DC and they aren't even doing that.

The Venezuelans must know he's acting like this.  The Trump administration is surely working on-the-ground with them, along with the chick who was given Trump's Nobel Peace prize.  So are the people just not sure they believe this is happening or are they waiting for the right moment to rebel?   If it's the latter, how the hell did we do this?  We told him to start being batsh*t crazy in public and here he is.  Hey Putin, Xi, Nancy Pelosi, we could do that to you too.

I will continue to respond like this is exactly what's happening but it's so unheard of that it could quite easily be made-up for the internet.  It just comes of like some completely new weapon.  I wonder if this might be part of what the negotiations with Russia and China are about, we can do this so what next?  Of course there's also the possibility that they can do it too.  This is a very strange war.

"Langley" as in the George Bush Center for Intelligence in Langley, Virginia, CIA headquarters.  Isn't that just like the CIA to make sure we know where to find them?  But the point is that all the stuff coming out now - assuming it's real - is unclassified.  The CIA is still holding on to the real information, Epstein worked for them.

This is has long-been considered although I didn't give a lot of thought to the possibility.  This says he was aimed at 'high-profile' Americans as well as foreign leaders.  He brought as many of them in as possible to provide intelligence and be used for blackmail.  The CIA paid Epstein for being so useful which is why they haven't allowed the real info to be made public.

I'd go 50-50 on whether this is true.  It's certainly believable and I'm not one of those people who always blame everything on Israel or MI6, so who's left to blame but the CIA?  Or maybe they're just the puppet, the one who gets blamed for everything while someone else is completely ignored.  Obviously I'm into conspiracy theories but even I recognize that there's a point where it's just meaningless to focus on any of them.

As I write this, Trump has signed the bill from Congress to release everything.  His public statement just blames the usual Democrats for everything.  There is no word on how the CIA will react or if they will even notice.  House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer has said that if the Clinton's refuse to testify, he'll do them what Democrats did when Steven Bannon refused to testify, send them to jail.  This could be big, or Bill could just bring up some blackmail in private discussion and we'll never hear about it again.

I'm not sure how big the notion of 'open borders' has ever really been, at least beyond leftist elites in white countries.  Also not sure what the actual definition of "nation" is but it's not clear how many countries out there actually meet it.  The Middle East is an obvious example, it's just lines drawn regardless of who is living where.  Most places, it's the people conquering you decide your borders.  But other nations had to get through this the hard way.  Vatican City, not so much.

Even some leftists are admitting that they need to actually treat borders seriously, so Leo coming out to backtrack his previous comments just makes him and the Vatican look like they're way behind the curve.  Maybe he should ask some of the mosques they have, maybe they'd have some relevant viewpoints he should listen to.

Well we'll see if this goes anywhere.  Democrats are already trying to figure out ways to defend themselves just from what's already being said.  The obvious question is why these weren't released under Biden.  Their answer is that there was still an ongoing investigation so that couldn't be interrupted.  First of all, if we pretend Biden was the POTUS, he could interrupt it.  Second of all, that investigation didn't go anywhere.  Third of all, they would love to leak info about Trump to set him up.  Didn't have a problem getting his taxes and the media heavily promoted those.  Which leads to fourth of all, why weren't any Democrats demanding to know about this?  Because Trump was the only target, everybody else has to be ignored.

One of the first names to come out of whatever's been released so far.  He was emailing Epstein in 2019 for advise on attracting a woman, a Chinese economist he was mentoring.  Summers was in his mid-60s at that point, he still needs advice on talking to girls and that's who he turned to?  The guy who was convicted as a sex offender in 2011?  And he waits until now to feel ashamed about it?  Epstein's been dead for over six years, we don't give the impression Summers had any regrets about their relationship until this week.

The black female member of Congress is being put up for censure for texting Epstein while at a Congressional hearing to go after Trump.  Of course she just throws a fit, saying that it was just some random constituent she was getting instructions from, like she didn't even know who she was talking to.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries was also begging Epstein for money in 2013, again after his previous conviction.  He has more authority than Plaskett - assuming he's not just Nancy Pelosi's puppet - so he'll be able to withstand obvious questions about WTF he was thinking but not sure that'll last long.  And then there's the Clintons who are defying Congressional subpoenas to explain themselves on this.  All they can rely on is their fellow Democrats who spent the last several months demanding *everything* be released to the public.

That would be treason but Democrats want that.  They can defy Congress too with the same justification.  So how much do these people really want the military to use its power on the government?  I don't think these people are thinking about this as much as they should.  Even spookier, they're all on the military and intelligence committees.

Commenters are already citing the laws and regulations they're breaking and the military could use for their treason.  'Don't obey illegal orders' but do what these people are telling you to do?  Sounds like a contradiction.  At this point, I'm convinced these people don't know what they're doing, they're just saying whatever they're told to.

Over in NYC, a similar thing is happening, with the new mayor insisting he'll defy federal law to arrest ICE agents, and arrest the Israeli PM if he ever shows up.  He doesn't point to any actual crime and certainly can't point to any authority he has but that doesn't matter because he's a wealthy leftist Muslim.  Put all of that together, along with ignoring laws, trying to overthrow the government and install your own elites in charge of everybody...  How do these people think this will actually happen?

The fact that they haven't been able to actually do this yet suggests it's guaranteed to fail, unless China or whoever get involved and those nations are on the defensive too these days.  I'd like to believe that these people have, unconsciously, eliminated their own basis for power so they'll be the ones removed by this.  Legally or otherwise, these members of Congress can be eliminated by their own arguments and by any means necessary.  But they don't even realize that yet.

And what's Schumer going to do?  He'll fight, obviously, but he's already being set-up to be in the same position Joe Biden was less than a year and a half ago.  He can't even blame senility, as far as we know.  I don't recall if I ever predicted the old people would be purged like this but I and many others have pointed out how sick the younger generation were of these people hogging the leadership spots.

There's a reason politics is supposed to be an 'old person's game.'  Young men are out earning a living and building a family.  It's the old men who's family has grown up and formed on who can see how these things have worked together over many years, they're the ones who are supposed to be involved.  Of course that also requires government to be as minimal as possible so they're still competing against each other and not imposing their will on the rest of us.

Recently judges seem to be going out of their way to show their commitment to the activist cause.  It's not clear if they're just that self-absorbed or if they really think they're the highest relevant power.  They certainly don't expect any consequences if they're wrong.

It's also not clear how organized they are.  In several states, judges have forbidden redistricting but there's been no problems when liberal states do that.  One could probably make a convincing argument either way whether they all come to the same conclusion individually or if they all got together and agreed this is what they'll do.

I assume that's one reason the Supreme Court hasn't really spoken out on any of this.  Pretty sure there are secret plans in place to deal with war or national emergency.  Those plans would have been made back when there were rational men in charge so the Supremes probably have a valid reason to not get involved unless they have to.  There's also the point that the judge shouldn't be so involved and, if any court in the nation understands that, it's probably the Supremes.

But we really need to put a stop to these activists in robes.  Their limits should be made clear and they will need to face consequences for these decisions.  Releasing violent criminals without hesitation should mean being punished equally with those same violent criminals.  It's like treating a woman who makes false rape accusations the same way you treat a rapist and the death penalty is fully acceptable for that.

So this may be the main story this week, will they actually release the files and will anybody believe them?  Schumer doesn't specifically mention Trump but the "what the hell is he hiding?" approach makes it clear that he didn't even noticed that the question was about Biden.  Or maybe he did and he's doing a really bad job of avoiding the question.  Or maybe he has more in common with Biden than Democrats are willing to admit.  He's only eight years and three days younger, senility can getcha.

Trump is back to where he was ten months ago, saying the files should be released right away.  The only way this works is if a very tight trap was being set up for Democrats and I still don't see that happening.  But a few names have started coming out.  Not big names that most of us would have heard of but at least slightly more relevant than what we know so far.

SDNY US attorney Jay Clayton was responsible for investigating Epstein while also working with known Epstein clients who are relevant elsewhere.  He worked with Reid Hoffman who pushed E. Jean Carroll onto Trump so that she could claim he raped her.  He also worked with Leon Black to push cryptocurrency during Trump's first term.  To promote their preferred cryptocurrency, Clayton also worked with Lowell Ness, a partner at Perkins Coie, a Seattle-based *woke* lawfirm that has infected many big corporations and pushed DEI.  But I know them for working with Hillary Clinton to get the fake Russian dossier about Trump.

None of this is immediate evidence of guilt but there is a sense of the same people hanging out with each other to achieve the same goals again and again.  There's also Rep. Stacey Plaskett, a Democrat from the US Virgin Islands.  She can't vote but she's paid to talk to Congress.  When ex-Trump attorney Michael Cohen testified to Congress against Trump in February 2019, Epstein was feeding Plaskett questions to use.  Epstein had also donated to her campaign, perhaps they had other connections.  Epstein Island was located in the Virgin Islands after all.

I'm disappointed at how much thought I'm putting into this given that I already assume we'll learn nothing relevant and even if we do, nothing will happen.  So far there's nothing about this that couldn't have been released six months or six years ago.  The connections between these people are too vague to be more than a neat coincidence without solid evidence and I keep making this point but there's no reason to believe solid evidence.

□ [“Trump Says US May Start Negotiations With Venezuela"]

Something may be happening here.  If true, it sounds like Maduro realizes he either needs to surrender or hope he survives long enough to escape, assuming anyone is willing to take him in.  At least if he gives in, the US might allow him to stay in power, at least long enough to affect his connections to BRICS and the Americas.

□ [“Maduro Sings Lennon’s ‘Imagine’ at Political Rally"]

Ok, we must have already won whatever the conflict was and told him to humiliate himself with this.  There's only a few bits from the clip, he sings the opening line, then someone off-stage starts playing the actual song.  He tries waving his hands like it'll influence the audience.  What little I see, he's barely even trying to sing along although the crowd is trying to join in.  But nobody could be a serious dictator and get away with this.  Whatever we're doing down south must be working.

□ [“Mexico President Sheinbaum Blames the Right and Refuses to Tackle the Cartels"]

Then there's these protests.  Still not sure what they're doing.  There was a clip of protesters chanting "antifa."  If true, it's something to be wary of but wtf is the point?  They could overthrow the Mexican government but would be just as easy to overthrow by Trump or anyone else.  I dunno, maybe they just want to get rid of some important documents before they're discovered.  But at least the chick-in-charge seems clueless about what's going on, that'll help.

Otherwise, "Operation Southern Spear" is taking out drug boats in the Caribbean.  Trump says he's willing to go after the cartels.  He'll even go to Congress to make it official.  As I've said before, I am fine with the US being the world policeman and especially in our own region, this is the sort of thing we should be doing more of.

□ [“Trump is in Talks with Democrats to Totally Gut Obamacare"]

Definitely a potential win and off-the-top of my head, sounds like a decent chance of success.  Trump loves negotiations.  He has all those years of running a business so he knows how Obamacare affects them.  He had his first term to look at it from the government side.  Covid showed how it could be abused.  DOGE explored all the waste and the shutdown would give the executive branch time to work out something better.  Maybe I'm just being ridiculously-optimistic but there's actually a chance here.

And Democrats don't have anything to work with.  Obamacare was supposed to be this huge victory but fifteen years later, they're just whining about how "broken" the healthcare system is.  That was what Obamacare was supposed to fix, remember?  But they never did, they just funneled more and more money to Big Pharma and insurance companies, which has nothing to do with actual medical care.  Of course they didn't complain about how "broken" it was under Biden or Obama, it's just one of those things that's only bad when Republicans are in charge.

Obama's going to need to fight this but what leverage does he have?  The whole point was to quit calling it "Obamacare" because it was so great and we never did.  He really hasn't helped Democrats much in the last decade and that's including installing Biden as a puppet.  To be honest he didn't help them much when he was POTUS either but at least he had the role at the time.  Now all he can do is backroom deals - which it's possible he's good at; we wouldn't know because it's all kept private - but that's not going to help modern politicians who have to deal with the public.  Doesn't have people who will fight for him either.

□ [“Michelle Obama Rules Out POTUS Run Because Sexism — Americans Have a ‘Lot of Growing Up To Do’"]

We made her rich and famous for doing nothing and she doesn't even have the sense to realize that.  No gratitude, no self-awareness, just arrogance and demand for more.  And she gets to be surrounded by people who put up with this.  She's allowed to spout off like this while promoting her new book at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, showing how clueless she really is.

She has been making more public appearances lately.  She and Obama have at least hidden whatever marital problems they're having.  He's limited for public appearances and she's making a mostly-failed attempt to have some public image that isn't completely based on the ring on her finger.  Not sure she still has a podcast, no one ever seems to mention it, even to criticize it.

The impression I get is that the Obamas, especially Michelle, are just coming off as 'out of date.'  They were able to push the *woke* agenda back when he was in office but that's now mostly past-tense and laughable.  Or just plain offensive because people don't have time or interest in putting up with that any longer.  At least Obama had to beat Hillary and win elections, Michelle has no chance of doing any of that.  She's just becoming a very negative stereotype of aging black females and will never do any better.  But *we're* the ones who need to grow up.

□ [“European Leaders Pressure Zelensky Over Energy Kickback Scandal"]

If it's similar to what we've seen from DOGE in the US, they've been sending all this money to Ukraine which is already well-known for laundering.  The energy system was used to funnel it back to EU elites and whoever else is relevant.  So now they don't want to be caught profiting from this because these rich leftists claim to oppose profit.

So out of curiosity, would Russia be involved in this?  It's not like they don't know how to loot, bribe, launder or steal money already.  This would also explain why they haven't been trying that hard to wipe out Ukraine entirely.  I've noticed for years that this is unusual for an invading Russia and that might be why, the Russians-in-charge are being paid off too.  They'll eventually take over anyway but their bank accounts would prefer they do it slowly.

This is undoubtedly going to hurt the chances of Ukraine joining NATO or the EU.  Well, at least NATO because Trump will have a say.  What a coincidence if the people insisting that troops be sent in immediately are the same ones getting money from the kickbacks.  They probably have NGOs and other middlemen handling the actual transfers so any one of them might spill the beans.  Europeans are already pissed at their elites and this is why you were so hungry for war?

Not sure how the Nord Stream pipeline was connected.  Near as I can tell, it's mostly owned (or controlled) by Russia with other EU businesses handling the rest.  Ukraine might have sent the troops to do the actual destruction but otherwise it doesn't look like they had much to do with it.  It was clearly a major part of getting this war started, I just don't see exactly how.

□ [“'¡Viva la Revolución!' Massive Mexico City Riot; Thousands Storm Presidential Palace"]

Was not expecting this.  I would assume we've had operations going on all the way south of the border since roughly January 20, looking at who and where the biggest dangers are.  Mexico is an obvious place and the female in charge lives in the capital city.  These are reportedly thousands of young people opposed to President Claudia Sheinbaum catering to the cartels.

They attacked police, lots of injuries.  Doesn't look like they actually entered the palace itself but they were on the grounds.  I keep saying this but SEE Britain?  See France?  This is what you need to do!  Start putting those m*#@(*&ers in serious fear for their lives!  Make them rush to grab whatever cash is available and jump a helicopter before it's too late.  Even Mexico isn't doing enough right now but it's a start.

I'm guessing the cartels are ultimately controlled by Venezuela but that's just speculation.  I'm sure they're part of a larger, probably globalist, group.  That's why I'm glad to hear about this as the Venezuelan attack is ready, even though there's no way to know what will happen to Mexico here.  But the cartels are probably doing a lot of the heavy lifting to bring in drugs, slaves, etc. and need to be surrounded so they can be wiped out.

□ [“Democrat Senator Furious That Trump Hit Narco-Terrorists Instead of 'Following Procedure'"]

And they have their agents installed in-power all across the continent.  He threw in a few lines about going after the bad guys but immediately resumed attacking Trump and Republicans for doing something about them.  The biggest difficulty with this is that there's no way to get rid of all the cartels' allies without openly being a purge, indistinguishable from any other.  There's a reason most of these battles are fought away from the public eye because it does look horrible no matter what.  But here we are.

□ [“Federal Agents Flood Charlotte as Trump Intensifies Crackdown on Illegal Immigration"]

Have they already taken care of NYC and Chicago or are they skipping that like wusses?  A bit more seriously, I'm wondering if part of the point was to get the cartels to move the most violent invaders to other, less-obvious cities, hoping they wouldn't get noticed for a while.  I don't recall Charlotte being on the list of possible cities to go after.

But it is odd how this hasn't been getting much attention and hasn't for a while.  It's been over three months since Trump sent the National Guard into DC and that's been ignored for most of those three months.  At this point, I'm not sure what cities Trump has sent the troops into although I'm sure there are operations going on all over.  I'm getting the impression the crime rate is going down as Democrats have fewer rapists and murderers to protect but they can't admit that because the citizens actually like having less crime.

So all they can do is fall back on standard leftist rhetoric how anything they don't like is fascist or kkk or whatever.  Just the fact that they aren't punished for complaining is proof that it's like that at all but these people aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.  But they know who put them in office so that's who they need to pander to.

It's also possible some of the gangs are getting desperate because they have nothing to fall back on and are in enemy territory.  A town in Wisconsin has had to go alert because a gang from South America is just looting homes.  It's possible they don't know any better but you'd think someone would be advising them about self-protection.  They might need to run to Canada to escape.

□ [“Stephen A. Smith Calls Out Democrats for Unwillingness to Defend Their Beliefs"]

Why is this guy on ESPN?  The only attention he gets is for talking about politics which, IIRC, is not what ESPN is about?  It's things like this that lead to my theory that leftists have actively established people to challenge them, at least to an extent.  In Congress, they're RINOs and John Fetterman.  In the media, there's Bill Maher and this guy.  They almost never vote against Democrats but they at least say things in public which disagree with the leftist agenda.

Here he's listing all the Democrats he's invited to be on his show but always refused, as opposed to all the Republicans who are fine going to places where not everybody agrees with them.  Another theory I have - which contradicts the one I just mentioned - is that this is the first step in getting away from leftism, recognizing that your side isn't always correct but refuses to acknowledge that.  They always stay in their well-paid areas and never risk losing their jobs but their public image is at least not totally leftist.

Otherwise the media is generally trying to double-down.  Notice how unpopular Trump is now, just as he was before the election and just as he was in his first term.  Somehow there's all these Trump voters who hate him now, they never expected what he's doing despite three campaigns promising to do exactly this.  That may be why they posted this guy on ESPN, hoping to get to trans sports in a decade or so.

Day 46 of... I don't even know anymore.  I just got so used to not having a federal government and using that as an excuse to overthrow the federal government.  What am I supposed to do now that it's over?  Sure, we can try to get rid of Chuck Schumer and other Democrats because we need to have more Democrats in charge, but something about that just doesn't have the same appeal.  Maybe the public would like that but who cares what they think?  We have elections to win!  Only that way can we help the public.

What's even worse is that some people are saying some Democrats have some mental problems, like we're not always right about everything all the time.  These people don't know anything about us, why are they allowed to vote Democrat?  We're guaranteed to win next time, everyone I talk to agrees with me on that.  Especially my imaginary friend.

□ [“Swing Voters Have Some Bad News for Dems With Blowback Over Shutdown"]

Just a small focus group in Georgia, none of which give any reason to believe the results.  The overall impression just looks like Democrats hurt their own public image and for no good reason, considering they mostly gave in on everything.  This is what being outside the bubble means, normal people see that there's not a big deal to the government being shut-down.  Meanwhile Democrats are obsessed with winning something by holding out, so they're not going to just carry on normally now that they've failed.

But they still won't give up, desperate to install socialists in charge of big cities and expecting that to prove anything good about their side.  They don't even recognize this.  Look at the way they claim to oppose rich people but uniformly support the rich people on their own side.  They can't even handle critical memes as well as Donald Trump.

Then there's the notion that 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' is an actual mental illness.  I'm really trying to keep from totally agreeing with that because it could just be a sham, just as the recent fake Epstein emails suckered a few Democrats.  [But what if Democrats falling for them is also a sham?  Ooooh, spoooky!!!]  But even if the notion of an illness isn't literally true, the basics are close enough to reality as we've been observing from these people for the last decade.

They're trying to push the belief that the economy is actually doing terrible.  Since most of us can't see outside our own environments or even understand most of what's happening around us, we can't really tell economically.  I don't like to use the word but it "feels" better than it did for the last several years.  Inflation is mostly-restrained, there's still the massive debt, other issues that we can do nothing about.  But I think the real strength in economics is people believing they can carry on with jobs and spending.  It looks like that much is still working, even if we can't really save any money.  But we've got a lot more reasons not to ever trust Democrats to do anything helpful.

□ [“'This Motherf*cker!'  Hunter Biden Unleashes On Trump in Profanity-Laced Tirade"]

I'm guessing he's paid to make these appearances on a *woke* podcast.  It gets attention and he doesn't have any other source of income.  That we know of.  So it's a win for both sides.  I'm curious where Hunter is these days?  The Wide Awake Podcast is done by Joshua Rubin in Cape Town, South Africa.  That's...  odd.  He doesn't want to be close to his old sick father who pardoned him?  Or is this just a location where he won't be extradited?  Or maybe he just has some other contacts in the area and doesn't want those made public.

I'm still amazed by what a failure Hunter has been through his life.  He can't do anything without whores and blow, so he's spent all these years just being sent out to do family business like Fredo.  He's in his mid-50s and this is all he can do.  Say what you will about his father but at the same age, he was partway through his 5th Senate term.  Like him or not, at least he's dedicated to something.  Meanwhile Hunter is just bitching about Donald Trump.

I would assume he'll have no real use for anybody ever again, except for Democrats as a disposable weapon to use as they're doing here.  But even then, the more attention he gets, the more important he'll think he is and will try to get back with the party he grew up grew older with.  He may even find some popularity among tramps and losers so that could given him more influence, especially if his father's people think they can get any use from him.  There's certainly an excuse for Democrats to dump him completely but also the possibility that they may need someone like that in a year or three.

□ [“ABC News Reporter Claims Obama and Biden’s Friendship Has Become ‘Really Bad’"]

Just a note, the guy is paid to say what Disney/ABC tells him but this was from a separate interview so this isn't necessarily Disney policy now.  The interview was with Katie Couric so it may be Disney policy.  Looking it up, she worked for all three major networks from 1989 to 2014 so safe to assume this is a *woke*-approved podcast.  And this reporter is just promoting a book, where he'd said Obama didn't want Harris and was pissed that Nancy immediately endorsed her.  Anyway...

Biden and Obama never liked each other.  They could get along as politicians do but that has nothing to do with what they actually think of each other.  Biden's out of it now but his people need to pretend otherwise, so Obama has to deal with that.  But otherwise I doubt Obama gives Biden much thought, he'll soon be dead and everyone will just carry on without him.

Whether he's fighting for leftism or trying to protect himself, Obama needs to fight Trump and since Biden's not helpful, that's that.  But he also has to handle his own irrelevance which is increased by the way Michelle keeps saying stupid things and he just lets her.  As she said in a recent interview:

"Let me explain something to white people.  Our hair comes out of our head naturally in a curly pattern.  When we straighten it to follow your beauty standards, we are trapped by the straightness.  That’s why so many of us can’t swim; that’s why we run away from the water.  People won’t go to the gym because we’re trying to keep our hair straight for y’all.  It’s exhausting, it is expensive, and takes up so much time.  Why do we need an act of law to tell White folks to get out of our hair?"

What is anyone supposed to do with a person stupid enough to say this in public?  Regardless of skin color, nobody cares what her hair is, and she obviously spent the time and money to make it straight for this interview.  But now black people have officially stated that they are incapable of swimming or exercising because of their hair, which would explain why they're fat and lazy.  Michelle said that so if you take her seriously, it must be true.  Obama's not going to get very far with this woman around.  He only got as far as he did because of the 'anybody but Hillary' vote.

Another mission underway, one that will have more obvious risk and casualties so of course he's not giving any details on that.  Hegseth does say that it's about fighting the narcoterrorists and specifically mentions that the western hemisphere is US territory so we'll protect it.  I'm still wondering why nobody calls out John Kerry for trying to dismiss that.

Not sure how other parts of the war are going.  There's negotiations with China going on and it's still not clear why.  Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine which never seem to be going anywhere, but we haven't really heard anything about them for a while.  Neither have we heard much from Iran since Trump bombed them months ago.  Whatever other complaints one can have about Trump, he does appear to have put these enemies on the defensive.

He's already worse than Francis.  Is probably younger and healthier too so he expects to be around for a while.  This is a deliberate attempt to destroy the church.  He was probably promoted by leftists and Muslims to get rid of any appeal religion has to people.  Makes me wonder if this was what they were doing six or seven hundred years ago when the church had similar problems.

I'm wondering what Catholics will do about this.  My suggestion would be to drop off from the church and form local groups to practice religion but I don't know how feasible that would be.  If anything is going to survive, I think it needs be built from the bottom up and that's going to get rid of a lot of long-time established church traditions.

I don't really have a dog in this fight but at least I recognize the need to fight.  All these decades of leftism have done everything it could to destroy religion.  That will fail but it will not be fun for anyone to get through it.  With all the other wars going on, here's another one that will get started any day now.

Like he could have done all year or his last term?  Yeah, great.  Is there a reason Bondi hasn't already been investigating them?  Because if she isn't, you should have fired her months ago when the documents were sitting on her desk.  Or at leas she claimed they were.  This really doesn't look like they're handling things well and is just feeding the left.  This investigator is the one who went after P. Diddy who's barely being punished.

There are more reports of emails or messages being released but we're already at a point where they're unbelievable.  One email claims Trump and Epstein had Thanksgiving dinner together in 2017, ignoring that Trump was in the White House and Epstein was in jail that year.  This is just ridiculous, might as well just post an A.I. Bill Clinton telling us "I did it!" and going on to explain every detail.

Maybe there's a cult mentality to Epstein supporters and this is a way of reproducing it for some reason.  It is being noted that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing, this may be another example.  But at the moment I'm really tired of speculating possibilities of why the Trump administration is being so stupid for so long.  This is just a waste of time and energy to no good purpose.

BBC Issues Formal Apology to Trump Over Doctored Edit of His J6 Speech

□ [“Roger Rabbit Copyright Reverts to Creator Gary K. Wolf"]

Interesting.  Why wouldn't Disney have taken the rights away permanently?  You'd think that would be standard operating practice for them.  This is based on the changes in copyright which occurred at the start of 1978.  Copyright assignments - i.e. giving the companies complete ownership - could be terminated in 35 years if certain requirements were met.  No idea what those requirements are and it's interesting to note that it must be exactly 35 years, not a day early or late.

But it's doable so now Wolf has the rights to Roger, Jessica, Eddie Valiant, Baby Herman.  Even he doesn't know if he has the rights to Toontown now.  I assume this will go nowhere but he'll probably make some money for the rest of his life dealing with potential deals.  He's quite complimentary about dealing with Disney.  They didn't fight, they just accepted it and that's that.

It was also noted that they've been removing Roger from wherever they'd used him for the last several years.  Probably in preparation for this but also because they never really did much with him after that one movie which required access to Warner Bros. and other IPs.  He says he'd be quite willing to work with Disney on a new Roger Rabbit project.

This is a good thing.  I don't know how successful his first Roger Rabbit book was - although it's quite good - but it was enough to get him a deal which eventually led to the wonderful movie.  Then he did a few more books based on the movie, not the original book and probably made enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life.  I come from the comic book side of things so this is definitely a better ending than I'm used to.

I don't have a high opinion on psychotherapy so I'm skeptical about an analysis like this.  That said, he deals with a lot of patients with this problem and it's the obsession with Trump that connects them all.  To the extent mental health is measurable, they're hurting themselves with this and obviously see nothing wrong within themselves.

They've been doing this for decades, we've seen it with George W. Bush and Reagan.  For that matter, we saw the flip side with Obama, Biden, Harris, Bill Clinton, arguably Hillary.  Remember the brief moment where everybody who voted for Hillary was racist?  Then there's the obsession with global warming, abortion, all the typical leftist platforms.

This may be amplified by the sudden change of popular acceptance of transgenders.  Suddenly they have one less target to focus on, causing more mental instability.  I'm sure there are other relevant topics, the Supreme Court ruling on abortion.  There's also the sudden joy over a few recent election victories in low-vote leftist districts.  That comes across as desperately grasping for straws of hope.

Not saying I believe this theory but it's quite interesting.  There's also the obvious counterpoint that relationships, family, religion, are what keep more people from succumbing to this mental illness.  There's really no explanation of the cause and the possible 'triggers' are everywhere we look so it can't be fixed, but I'll definitely be thinking about this for a while.

As always, I assume this won't go anywhere.  There was $100 million in kickbacks, some of the names are given and some of them have now fled Ukraine, although otherwise it's not clear what this is about.  Ukraine is all about corruption and maybe a little war-fighting if there's time.  Whether they were just looting money for themselves or if there was some other goal in mind, it's not even the first time this stuff has come up during this war.

What might be relevant is how this centers around the Minister of Energy, just after Russia bombed most of the electric grid in preparation for winter.  Perhaps there wasn't enough protection or repair available for the grid because the funding was gone.  That's my best guess but the timing suggests there was something to this.  As is the fact that it's getting more attention in western media that Ukrainian corruption usually does.

Zelensky's former financier - arrested for laundering and fraud - calls on Zelensky to resign from office.  The implication is that he sees what's coming and Zelensky purging some subordinates isn't going to help.  It's easy to dismiss this as yet-another excuse why we should never be involved with these people but if it actually means something in Ukraine itself, it might be people turning against Zelensky who's spent the last three and a half years losing a war and doing very well for himself as a result.  Perhaps if he's replaced, the new person holding the job might be more willing to work for peace.

Only a month and I'm a bit skeptical.  Maybe he's just living up to a negative stereotype but it's also possible he knows he can basically get away with it.  If he has influence in the prison, he might be safer there than anywhere else.  And so far, his May 2028 release date is only pushed back a month.  Probably a better situation than Jeffrey Epstein was in.

There's some argument going on about the Epstein files which I assume will be as relevant as P. Diddy's parties.  The left is running out of things to obsess with so they're chaining themselves to insistence that Trump was Epstein's right-man man or something like that.  No interest on anybody else involved, funny how that works.

I haven't paid much attention but what I've seen has some suspicious comments about more people.  An email from May 2016 comments that Hillary Clinton did "naughties with vince," as in Vince Foster, a Clinton aide who had a very mysterious suicide back in 1993, exactly six months after Bill took office.  There are some hints but there isn't much I find interesting here.

Maybe this is working as hype for someone but this is where it looks like Trump has set up a trap for himself.  He should have released all the files on 'day one.'  It was pointless to delay and even if it doesn't look like he's covering something up, that's going to be the almost-unanimous response.  There won't be any mention of anyone committing actual crimes because if there was, the obvious question would be why he's still letting them walk around lose?  And in his first term too when they already had all this information.

I still think Epstein and P. Diddy were doing the same things but at this point it looks hopeless to expect we'll ever learn anything for real.  I'm not even sure there's a way I could be proven wrong about this.  You could release footage of Biden, Obama and Clinton molesting children and there'd be no reason to think it's real.  The government agencies probably have much more realistic A.I. than we do.  Which leads to the belief that this was the goal all along, to keep it hidden until the truth would be meaningless.  Thanks, Trump.

□ [“DNC Issues Directive That Put End to Covid-Era Rules and Hilarity Quickly Ensues"]

Some people had to go to work every day to earn a living even when the supposed pandemic was raging across the world.  You call those people "poor people."  They had jobs important enough that you couldn't just get paid to sit on your bed with a laptop.  You can understand why Democrats have nothing in common with that sort.

Joe Biden promised to end the virus on "day one" and then waited two and a half years to declare it over, but that was still two and a half years ago.  But the DNC still acts like it's happening right now, showing that Biden had no authority.  Otherwise they would have listened to him say it was over.

Of course the big laugh is that the new rules won't get started until February 1.  That's how big of a deal this is to them.  And naturally a lot of Democrats are opposing that.  They will just sit at home and be paid for it, it's what the party is all about.  Chairman Ken Martin is probably going to cave in.  He's definitely not a leader-type, which is why he was installed.  Maybe the people who are actually in charge will give orders behind closed doors and something will change but otherwise, they'll stay on this road no matter what.

Day 43 without a federal government.  I'm finally getting used to this.  There's the thrill of rebellion, the excitement of uncertainty, not knowing what might happen next.  What will the tyrants do to us next?  I don't know, but I know we'll get through it, thanks to our great Democrat leaders.  And credit must be given to our great leftist media, keeping us fully informed of what's going on.  Those right-wing nutjobs just think our side is falling apart and crumpling, that couldn't be further from the truth.  This shutdown could last another 43 days as far as I'm concerned.

But when it finally does end, when we get everything we want forever, Republicans will be on their knees weeping with regret for ever disagreeing with us.  And then we can put them all in taxpayer-funded gulags until they've been properly educated.  The more I think about this, the better and better things get.  Just keep that government shut-down going and make it a reality.  I can't wait to see the next stupid move Republicans think they can try against us.

□ [“Oversight Dems Release New Epstein Emails That Mention 'Trump'"]

Wow, haven't mentioned this in a while.  I am more than a little irritated that Trump totally dropped this so quickly after inauguration - as my loyal readers can attest to - but it is incredibly strange that Democrats see this as a winning point.  None of them are asking why they didn't demand anything be done about this last year, or two years, three, four, all that time that the DoJ and activist lawyers have been going after Trump for anything they can find.  Or lie about.

But even worse, they're deliberately avoiding any questions of anyone else who might have ever known Epstein all these decades.  Bill Clinton and Bill Gates being the most obvious names but there were a lot more and they were known liberals.  Now that the left has suddenly decided this was a monstrosity and someone must be punished for it, why is Trump the only name on the list?  Can't you at least ask the Bills about their relationship with Epstein?  Why did he have a painting of Clinton wearing a dress?

Anyway, the House Dems have let out a few of Epstein's emails, from 2011, 2015 and 2019.  Not much to them, at most a few questions for Trump.  He's always willing to take questions.  I'd say he could just start listing names of others who were involved and they'd hate that, but he could have done that at any point this year so that's not very likely.

But that said, given what we've seen from the last year, it does look like this is a trap for leftists that they're rushing into.  We're not given any clue why it's taking so long.  Even if you can't explain everything, there should be at least comments on what's being done.  Time's a-wasting, get moving on this.

□ [“House Votes to End Shutdown, Passes Government Funding Bill 222-209"]

The next step is taken.  Doesn't look like the two houses need to negotiate and put the final version to another vote, it looks like this is headed straight to Trump.  Knowing him, there's a good chance he'll sign it tonight.  Otherwise first thing tomorrow.

So now we get to watch the left go nuts for the next several days as poor people start getting fed and bureaucrats can interfere with our lives.  And Republicans have been foiled in their scheme to kill everyone.  Darn it.

The rich white latenight leftists are all ranting about how horrible this is to have a government again and how people will suffer.  And something about how expensive it is to buy health insurance thanks to Obamacare.  We told you that fifteen years ago, why didn't you listen then?  Now they need to punish people for disobeying the law by not buying insurance.

AOC is also bitching.  She thinks she's the boss now and will overthrow the old men in charge, i.e. Schumer.  With Biden, Pelosi, Schumer, Dianne Feinstein and others, I do suspect Democrats are ready to overthrow the old people.  They'll make all the mistakes of young (or at least younger) people by not learning anything.

□ [“JFK’s Unhinged Trump-Hating Grandson Jack Schlossberg Launches Bid for Congress"]

I first saw this on a leftist sight.  Only one commenter seemed to think this was a bad idea, everyone else was thrilled by the rich white man from a rich family running for power.  Leftists oppose wealth until the wealthy say what leftists like to hear.  They oppose the very concept of family but then someone's ancestors are all the evidence they need of someone they'll obey.  They claim to oppose kings and nobility but this is how you get them.

□ [“Nancy Pelosi’s Daughter Launches Political Career, Announces Run for Office in California"]

A less-established family but still quite wealthy.  Never had to work a real job in her life and now, pushing 60, she's finally come up with something to do.  This is how you get these old people sitting in power for decades.  I'm genuinely surprised she's not just trying to take Nancy's seat.  My guess is that someone else wants it more and there's no chance she'll win a fight against whoever that is.  She might also be arguing about it behind closed doors.  The California Senate position she'll run for won't be open until 2028 so she's got time.

I notice they both look really old.  Schlossberg is only 32 but I would think he's mid-40s easily.  Christine is 59 and looks it.  Something about rich leftists seems to make them age very fast compared to normal people.  At least with actors and rock stars you can blame drugs but then there's these people.  About the best chance they have is that being wealthy means they've learned something about how things work but, well, what are the odds of that?

□ [“Scott Wiener:  'Trans Women Are Women'"]

This is the guy who intends to replace Nancy Pelosi, just trying to show that he makes her look like a harsh right-winger.  Either that or he's just showing that sissy girls-with-vaginas are incompetent compared to those born with a penis.  This is from an interview he did in the gay district where he lives so, uh, not sure how experienced he is with those who, shall we say, don't have any Y chromosomes.

It really is startling how quickly the trans movement has fallen away.  I keep saying I was surprised at how quickly it appeared to become dominant but at least we know it had been building for a long time.  All of a sudden it became about memorizing dozens of brand-new pronouns and ignoring biological reality.  Now there's a vast retreat - I still cite it as starting with the Bud Lite ad in 2023 - and this guy is not going to find much success pushing it now.  It *might* get him somewhere in San Francisco but probably nowhere else.  Thinking about it, will this win any votes in San Fran that he wouldn't have gotten anyway?

The trans will try again, that's obvious.  They can't go for long without trying to impose themselves on children and they had enjoyed that for years.  On the other hand, even the people in charge of their movement must realize they're disposable.  At most they can cause chaos - and as many lunatic shooters as possible - but that's not something to build on over a long period of time.  I really think this movement was a centerpoint for a leftist cult and it's getting closer to being exposed.
