□ [“Trump to Block Washington Commanders Stadium Deal Unless They Change Name Back to Redskins"]

Of the new developments Trump is bringing to the table, at least this one comes off as gaudy and entertaining, the sort of things we expect from him.  It was really stupid to change the name in the first place but they were all *woke* in 2020.  Trump also made a similar comment about the Cleveland Indians.  At least I know the Indians from the movie Major League but I had to look it up to see what sport the Redskins even play.

But, at least for now, Trump has no authority over the Indians.  He can make his claim and they can ignore him.  But the Redskins need his approval to build a new stadium.  I'm sure all rational men can agree, this brings up a sensible question:  'why the f*ck does a f*cking football team need permission from the f*cking POTUS to f*cking build a f*cking stadium?'  And that, I don't f*cking know.

But just a guess, this is probably the point Trump is making here.  It's not his business and shouldn't be the President's job to have anything to do with this other than maybe like or dislike the team on the field.  How did anyone anywhere along the line decide that this must be done?  And what else is Trump's permission required for?

Now there is another point being made which is probably too subtle for most people to care about, but the team is based in Washington DC which, until fairly recently, was officially run by Congress, probably with official or unofficial help from the POTUS.  So I'm skeptical that any city should really be involved in building a stadium, but at this point it's probably a lost cause.  Given that, there is a solid argument that the federal government does have authority over what can or can't be built in DC.

So Trump, being Trump, is going to make some noise about this.  He's not the one who demanded authority on this in the first place, he's just accused of tyranny.  The left wouldn't mind if he demanded something leftist like changing the team's name.

On a similar note, around the same time as the Redskins changed their name, the beloved 80s tv show "The Dukes of Hazzard" was effectively banned and it all seemed to centered around the General Lee.  This seems to have been reversed as suddenly there are many posts on Facebook featuring the General and clips from various episodes.  The show was produced on CBS and I'm wondering if this is another example of the *woke* censorship being pushed back as Trump's approval is needed for that corporate merger.

□ [“A Livid Hunter Biden Drops Brutal Truth Bombs on Democrat Party Figures in Wild Interview"]

Someone else has decided to speak out, celebrating the first anniversary of his dad being purged.  The interview is over three hours long so few people will have any interest in it.  Of course he's attacking Trump and saying if he were POTUS he'd declare war on El Salvador if they didn't return their criminal illegal immigrants the US.  That sounds like threatening to beat your ex-wife if she doesn't cook dinner for you every night like she used to but that's why Hunter's had such success in life.

He attacks a lot of Democrats for turning on his dad, maybe he thinks he's being more like Luke Skywalker.  He really doesn't like George Clooney.  I'm guessing they were close back when Hunter was getting lots of money so he feels betrayed now.  I thought he went after Nancy Pelosi too as the final blow that kicked Biden out but I can't find that now.

It's quite possible he's doing this out of delusion.  He's Hunter Biden, don't need much more proof than that.  He also needs money so he may be looking for people who will pay him to keep quiet.  If he doesn't get that, he'll try to stay embarrassing in public.  He might try to run for government office but I doubt he'd get anywhere even without Democrat elites squashing him like a bug.  Silence is the closest he gets to having anything anyone would want.  Of course Republicans might be willing to pay him to keep talking...

□ [“Trump Posts A.I. Video of Obama Getting Arrested by FBI Agents and Tossed Into Jail"]

Well this is...  Hell, I dunno.  Trump really likes using "YMCA" as a theme song. Back when that song was popular, he was young, rich and partying in NYC which is probably not as good as you might think.  It's one of those things that makes me wonder if there's some hidden secret being passed along with this song for those 'in the know.'

The video is ok.  I'm not a good judge of A.I. generated vids anyway and it only takes up a small part of a small computer screen.  But beyond that, it looked believably real.  Which leads to the question of 'why is he posting this?'  The word "gaudy" keeps coming to mind and that certainly applies to Trump.  But this is crossing a line from where there's no going back.

The POTUS has authority which no one else can have and like him or not, Obama was actually the POTUS.  He also was at the center of the whole *woke* movement and an icon for those who judge according to skin color, which is probably most leftists.  Even if attacking Obama is the right thing to do - and I haven't yet seen a real argument on that - there's going to be backlash, it's unavoidable.

It's certainly possible this is the best way to go.  It has to happen if there's ever to be a chance of purging leftism from society.  It's probably pointless to attack everyone around Obama but avoid him personally.  You only have to check my writing for the last 17 or 18 years to see that I am not remotely a fan, but there are reasons to be wary of starting this.  Maybe I'll be lucky and someone will have a quick easy explanation of why this is all a great strategy. (hint hint)

There already are explanations.  Trump also posted an "anonymous" video, covering that the White House admitted that there was no foreign interference in the 2008 election.  Then they changed their minds and demanded a new report which matched what the POTUS wanted.  That is pretty straightforward, but it's such a large subject that it'll simply take a while to comprehend, and I say that as someone who already believed the basics on this.

□ [“Declassified DOJ Report on Hillary Clinton’s Private Server Reveals Obama’s Email Was Hacked"]

If Obama is the target, they're getting closer to the target.  I've always thought the Democrat recitation of "the law applies to everybody" was a deliberate joke given what Hillary did with that server.  She ignored classification for her unclassified server and even exposed a CIA agent with that information.  There's details on Benghazi and classified talk with Obama.

At a Russian airport she emailed Obama using her server, so the Russians had access to that.  We should assume they didn't give up that access when she left and it's 'flip a coin' whether she had any clue that it happened.  She'd already sold them US uranium so they knew which side she was on, even if she didn't.

Maybe it's just a personal feeling but I'm a lot more supportive of going after Hillary than Obama.  If nothing else, he came off as too much like a puppet who knew that was his job so he might as well enjoy it.  She was a puppet too but never accepted that and would always make things worse.  And she's been a public figure for way too long.

Bill gets the credit, he knew that as a hustler he needed to quit before he got caught.  Hillary thought it was serious and always felt entitled to power.  She just didn't want to do anything to get it.  I remember hearing somewhere that her greatest achievement as Secretary of State was all the mileage she put on planes, flying them around.  Yes, that was really what she was best at.

Well, he's not hiding.  Gotta admit, this is not what we expect from a Democrat POTUS, or any member of the uniparty.  Trump runs out in front of this.  Have you noticed that even Putin and Elon Musk don't get mentioned by leftists much these days, especially not being in total control over everything Trump does?  Whatever else is going on with his administration, the chief executive is where the buck stops.

Which makes it weird that he's saying Obama orchestrated it.  I keep pointing out, Obama votes "present."  It's rare to see a situation where he clearly made relevant decisions, even when he later says that's what happened.  'He killed bin Laden' became he got bored watching so he went out to play pool with others.  Trump is pointing all the blame at him but is that really accurate?

Trump is also singling out the co-conspirators.  I'll have to check through all my years of coverage to see what I thought about these people, but they all got lots of attention back in the day.  I'm guessing that a lot of them will start speaking out although it's unclear how many will believe them, or even have a clue who they are.  And what actual authority will they have now?  They're not in government.  Their chosen successors have probably all been purged at this point.  I'm sure they still have authority and influence somewhere but it's not clear with who.  For that matter, they would have lost any immunity after leaving office, even Obama.  At least officially.

This is going to be a big mess and I have no clue what direction anything's going to go from here.  I spent all these years saying we were headed towards Civil War 2.0.  Well, here's a chance for the fireworks to really get started.  Let's find out if it was all worth it.

And gays need boys.  They realllly NEED boys around, to be close to.  To teach them things.  He doesn't mention any legal age requirements, no sense that this boy is too young.  There's none of that around Obama.  Are we sure he didn't go to P. Diddy parties?

It's starting to look like the whole point was to pretend Obama was straight.  There's a reason we started being told there were brand-new genders in his second term, after he didn't have to run for reelection.  Notice that none of the activist leftists we've had to put up with since had the slightest objection to him pretending not to be with them.

And this is what he's starting with to fight Trump?  Not a good plan.  Most Americans are sick of that stuff anyway and the fact that he's been pretending otherwise all these years isn't good.  Where was he a few years ago when the trans movement was at its peak, why didn't he come out say he wanted everyone to support this, especially blacks?

Having said all that, I'm not sure this will be relevant.  Obama always avoided making decisions as much as possible.  He votes "present."  As we see with the new info on the 'Russiagate' scandal, he was informed about it but wasn't actually doing anything himself.  That fact that he's going this way, pushing gays on boys, will just show most people how far away he is from real life.  Typical leftism.

□ [“MSNBC:  Obama Should Hold a Press Conference Every Time Trump Says Something ‘Crazy’"]

But the media puppets are already trying to push this.  It's been almost a decade since Obama was relevant but Democrats have almost nobody else to go with.  AOC and Bernie are not going to convince actual Americans, only leftist freaks.  To his credit, Obama was capable of acting like, as Joe Biden said, “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate” but that a long time ago.  He hasn't spent a decade in his several mansions staying in practice so expecting him to lead a 'shadow government' is going to be a disaster.

□ [“DNI Tulsi Gabbard:  Whistleblowers Who Crafted Phony Russia Report Turning in Affidavits to DOJ"]

If true - and it's depressing to realize that this might as false as everything else - this could be an interesting turn of events.  The 'deep state' can provide a lot of tools to use against whoever the new enemy might be, but there's also a lot of people who might see the winds changing direction and don't want to get punished.

Documents are already being put out.  I think, I haven't seen a link to 'read these.'  They're also government documents so we can expect them to be tedious and unreadable.  It's possible that most of these might be limited to very high-ranking officials, so the lower-ranks get told that "Russia!  Russia!  Russia!" is the real threat.  It was noted that people didn't really see a threat until the meeting in early January where it suddenly became Russia buying ads on Facebook in December, January, February, had stolen the election.  Liberals believed this.

It's also rumored that documents will be released next week covering the 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid.  I've long assumed that this was a trap Trump had set up.  As POTUS, he had declassified the documents, but the left refused to believe that, so what they found had shocked them.  They certainly never found anything to prosecute him for.  So if this rumor is true, we may see what the actual trap was.

It may also cover the email Susan Rice sent to herself on the day Trump took office.  I'd forgotten about that.  Easy to do, since we had never been given any real meaning or purpose for it, recapping the January 5 meeting in the Oval Office.  I'd have to go back and check my coverage of what this was about but I'm pretty sure we weren't told anything relevant.  She did it to cover up for something but we don't know how or why.

□ [“Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) Demands Gabbard Halt Release of Deep State Docs"]

This just comes off as hysteria.  Gabbard is spreading a “dangerous lie” and John Brennan is in danger from “MAGA mouth breathers.”  He even repeats that idiocy about ads on Facebook doing something and says the intelligence community is watching their leaders to bad things right now.  This just comes off as someone who, if you have to choose to be on his side or the current leaders, you pick the leaders and maybe turn in an affidavit on what these Democrats did.

Then he says it's about Epstein.  In 4-6 weeks they'll try to prosecute Obama for this and no judge will take the case.  So we'll be in "Epstein's world."  This guy is just bouncing all over the place.  Another example of the side you don't really want to be on.

□ [“Texts and Emails Show Hillary Campaign Coordinated with White House for Trump-Russia Hoax"]

Ok.  What are you going to do about it?  This is stuff we already knew but I guess it's nice to have evidence.  So now what?  They're obviously going to keep pushing this but it doesn't seem like the right way.  If the best evidence is tedious government files then maybe it'll matter legally but it has no chance in the court of public opinion.

We've wanted to jail Hillary for thirty years and there's no reason to expect that will happen now.  Or Obama.  Or any of their crew.  John Kerry?  Joe Biden?  Bill Clinton?  Just to cover a few big names.  Then there's all the others, and all the foreign agents.  If we're gonna do this, ok, but I don't see how any of this is going to work out well for anyone.

□ [“Democrats Keep Praising Stephen Colbert, They’re Proving Why the Late Show Failed"]

Paying attention to a tv propaganda show I never saw.  I can't even keep track of these network stars, that's how out-of-date I am.  But suddenly Democrats aren't finding their propaganda outlets so they're all speaking out in public.  The guy lost $40 million a year for his network but they don't mention that.  I don't think they care how much money a business loses.

It's possible the networks will have to tell Democrats the truth.  In private of course, but they can't keep wasting this money on leftist propaganda.  No one was watching anyway.  If the show had any merit there are cheaper ways to do it but not as a CBS tv network.  Leftists do seem to be obsessed with tv networks and movie studios, especially the old ones.  Long-established big businesses, they're much more willing to recite what the government wants to hear.  And they require government approval for companies to merge.

I'm guessing the media does have some deeper, more long-ranging plans for their product.  Back when I had cable, I watched very few of the channels and I'm guessing that's common.  But most of those channels were only able to exist because they were part of that cable deal.  I don't know how the internet has changed things.  We liked youtube but then they added tons of ridiculous commercials.  So far streaming is a total disaster.  I'm guessing someone will need to figure out a way to combine cable and streaming and make sure people have more choice to which channels they want.

You just figured that out?  Ukraine's government has always been far too corrupt to join NATO or the EU, that has no reason to change now.  Especially considering how much money has been pouring in all this time.  And they can keep doing that as long as the war keeps going and arrest any Ukrainian they don't like.  It's not like they have to worry about voters.  If Russia gets too close, they'll take their money and escape to be applauded by leftists around the world.

□ [“DNI Tulsi Gabbard Speaks Out on Obama and the Deep State’s Years-Long Coup Against Trump"]

Sounds like treason.  But so far there's nothing to work with.  They tried, they failed, boo-hoo, moving on.  That's how seriously the Trump administration has been taking this since 2017.  This is where leadership comes in as important, the rest of us can't do anything about it at all.  All the releases so far have been boring government details which, if we really pay attention, just clarify what we already knew.

How about Trump sue Obama or vice-versa?  Now that would get things moving in a hurry.  Now that would put things into perspective and it would be much clearer who's on what side.  There would be actual consequences.  It's possible this is why Obama has become more public in recent weeks and even needed to act like he's still with Michelle, to try to rev up his fanbase.  I'm pretty sure this won't happen but I really can't think of a better option.  Suing Obama's yes-men would do something, maybe.

This is a hard decision to make.  I think it would have been better to do this months or years ago but perhaps not.  Maybe that's why Iran needed to be taken down.  Maybe the Epstein files have been held back as a weapon to be used in the future.  It's also possible Obama was barely relevant, his skin color was the only reason he got to be front-man.  He just voted 'present' and let others make all the decisions.  Not sure how likely that is but I definitely think it's one of the more likely possibilities.

Note:  After writing this, Trump has posted the possibility of prosecuting Obama and the "thugs."  I'm going to wait a while before commenting on that.

□ [“Writers Guild Calls on Letitia James to Investigate CBS Cancelling Late Show With Stephen Colbert"]

Not all that interested in this but seems like something I should at least make a note of.  CBS had to settle when Trump sued them over the 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris.  They paid him $16 million.  Colbert's late-night show loses $40 million a years so they needed to cancel him anyway.  After he complained about this, they announced the cancellation would happen next year.  Wow, how strict.

The Writer's Guild complaint about the settlement and cancelling Colbert was *somehow* a bribe to Trump because CBS's parent company Paramount was trying to merge with Skydance which, for some reason, needs POTUS approval.  California is already investigating this but for some reason the Writer's Guild wants New York to do it too, so they called up the Attorney General who's busy falsifying her mortgage deals.  Can't find anybody else?

It's been almost 20 years since I had a tv and late-night talkshows were rarely of interest before that.  Disney/ABC's Jimmy Kimmel has spoken out to oppose this, another sign that these people don't care about how low their ratings are.  He'll probably be cancelled soon as well.  I'm guessing this is related to the recent cancellation of government funding for PBS, saving taxpayer money and forcing the tv studios to fund their own propaganda.  And it's just after Trump sued other media figures for their lies.

As we see here.  An Indian tries to buy a 15-year old for sex.  He gets arrested but the judge lets him go because he's an immigrant and this might keep him from becoming a citizen.  Yes, the Canadian government will step in to protect foreign child-molesters because they want them to be the normal people of this country.  And they're not going to turn on them the way they turn on, well, native Canadians.

How long is the world going to put up with this sort of depravity.  I don't get what Trump is doing these days with his ridiculously long convoluted internet posts, but a quick jab at Canada for supporting child-molesters would probably go a long way towards inspiring decent Canadians to stand up against this.  Or just send the illegal immigrants over there and seal the borders.  Every day is more disgusting on how western civilization crumbles without any effort.

□ [“Newly Declassified Docs Reveal Barack Obama Helped 'Manufacture and Politicize Intelligence' to Create Trump-Russia Collusion Hoax"]

We know.  This has nothing to do with what we were told we'd receive today.  That was another fake, all that happened was the DOJ asked a federal court to release grand jury transcripts used to convict Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.  That's it.  If the court says no, if the court edits out any relevant information, if the court takes it sweet time to even get around to responding, touch sh*t.

I'm sure the timing is deliberate although there's no obvious connection, but they're putting out evidence that Obama was involved on the fake Russian stuff.  "Involved" is a strong word, he was aware of it.  On December 8, 2016, the President's Daily Brief went from Russia not being able to affect US elections to them suddenly doing something or other and that's horrible.  The next day there was a meeting between lots of high-ranking people.  Obama was not one of them so he couldn't even vote "present."

My guess is someone called Russia, or Russia called them, to make this happen.  Susan Rice, John Kerry, Loretta Lynch, James Clapper or John Brennan seem most likely although 27 names are listed at this meeting and more, like Obama, would have been informed.  For whatever reason, Russia would be the "heavy" and Democrats would have an excuse to oppose Trump and build the 'new world order.'

We saw this with the JFK and RFK files, along with whatever else the Trump administration has finally released.  There's no big shocking reveal.  We may not have known specific details but were all aware that this was basically what happened.  It's not a good sign of what we'll learn when (if) the Epstein files ever come out and then there's the question of what to do about this.

If they don't go after Obama, this falls apart.  But if they do go after Obama, there will be much more justifiable opposition from Democrats, and then there's the issue of what he can be found guilty of.  Treason and sedition, yes, but he was POTUS and it was over eight and a half years ago.  No matter how justified it is, there's no way to make this look like a good move.  I'm not even saying 'don't do it,' but if Trump supporters weren't going along with this Epstein crap, bringing back Russiagate is even worse.

And the people around Trump are going to be obnoxiously loud about this, I don't see any way this can work.  Couldn't you just put out evidence that these people were very close to Jeffrey Epstein?

□ [“Trump Files Lawsuit at Rupert Murdoch, WSJ Reporters, Dow Jones, News Corp After Hit Piece"]

In theory this is more of the same idiocy, Trump running into problems he caused for himself.  The Wall Street Journal had an article that said he sent Epstein a card for his 50th birthday in 2003.  Trump says he did no such thing and didn't wait a moment before suing.  That seems very deliberate.

His suit is going all the way up the line, not just the people at the WSJ doing this but it's parent company, Dow Jones, their parent News Corp and its founder Rupert Murdoch.  I assume it's an option but I don't think that's normal to sue the chairman emeritus over something like this.  Murdoch was certainly familiar with Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of his fellow British media mogul.  Billionaires like that probably have a lot of connections because that's the life they live.

There's more connections.  The WSJ reporter used to work for Main Justice magazine, founded by the wife of Fusion GPS founder Glenn Simpson, the one who came up with the Russiagate files.  Naturally she did not take her husband's last name and I've long suspected this is why leftists can never get rid of the concept of marriage entirely.  Taking your husband's name makes you easy to identify but the marriage means you can't be called to testify against them.  It's not like any of these people need to be faithful to their spouse.

The wife's father worked for a Little Rock investment company that hired Hillary as their lawyer.  Still more connections.  They've all been willing to make up lies about Trump anyway, they all support Hillary and they're all suddenly obsessed over the Epstein files after ignoring them all these years.  Epstein worked for an investment company too, but maybe that speculation's going a little too far.

Despite all the weeks of criticism, there's a reason I haven't totally turned on Trump over this.  Still think there are better ways to do this that are less time-wasting and annoying, but at least it's something.

They must be waiting for Biden to die.  The first couple did testify but I think that's it.  Can Trump and his administration do that?  Which people get to ignore Congress?  Pretty sure that when you're a government employee at such high levels, it's not something you can just turn off when you leave.  High-ranking military officers can be called back for the rest of their lives.  For that matter, I'm surprised more people aren't saying this but why don't they just call Biden to testify?

This is another problem the left is desperate to ignore.  They spent all those years pretending Biden wasn't senile and they don't want to change now, even though more and more evidence is coming out that they were lying all along.  The details that have come out about the autopen are quite possibly a criminal offence.  There's no evidence that Biden even knew about it, much less consented, much less had any actual authority for whatever his job was.

So what is Congress going to do about this?  I doubt they have enough votes to put these people in contempt and even if they could, what would that really do?  They are making decisions for someone who is supposed to have access to the military and nuclear weapons so maybe there is a law against defying Congress for that.  Or maybe they could turn to the Supreme Court to decide between the two branches.

For one thing, if we take their excuse seriously, that indicates these are bunch of crazy idiots.  They're not blaming the fossil fuel they'd be using to travel everywhere on this tour, just global warming and weather in general.  This shows that they've never really thought about this before, yet insist they're devout believers in it, more like members of a cult than anything else.  The grand wizard told me to cancel the tour because my moon was in Sagittarius!

There are a couple possible reasons for cancelling the tour that are more likely.  Tickets not selling would be the most obvious.  Can't say anything about that because I'd need to be paid to go to one of this band's shows, but it's theoretically possible that someone else might.  Which leads to the other possibility, the dude's in his 80s and there's really a point where you should stop doing things like this.  But I guess that's not how you became rich and famous.

□ [“The Democratic Civil War Has Begun — Obama Pulled the Trigger"]

That's a bit of hyperbole, Obama just made himself a target.  He rarely speaks out in public but the party has no leaders so he's one of the most likely options.  Who else is there?  Biden, Harris, Bill, Hillary, Nancy, Chuck?  Only Obama and Clinton ever had to act like a chief executive and only Obama and Harris were born after 1950.  Only Obama still has any real popularity, probably because he doesn't go out in public.

But the party needs someone to lead them so he wins by default.  Unfortunately that means leftists will turn against him because he's the most convenient target.  Republicans are attacking Trump but not denying what else he's been doing to help the country.  If he fixed this current problem, he'd be back where he was a month ago.  Democrats don't have that option, which is why they're suddenly obsessed with Trump's current problem.  They weren't a month ago.

An indicator of the way Obama realizes someone needs to take a leadership position in the party is how he and Michelle suddenly made an appearance on a podcast to insist their marriage is great and strong and believable.   “She took me back,” he opens with in a totally masculine way.  “Now don’t start,” she responds like a devoted wife.  And they never ever thought of breaking up.  “Don’t make me cry now,” he says about that.

I try to avoid married people in public so I don't know if any of them really talk that way, but I do know it's not how masculine men talk.  I think that's why Obama pretended to oppose gay marriage when running for election - and no Democrat complained about that - then somehow became totally fine with for re-election.  Michelle's never going to leave him unless she's incredibly stupid and if she was, she'd have probably left him already.  She could not handle the massive lifestyle reduction that would happen and her podcast certainly isn't successful enough to make up for the loss.

But whoever follows ratings for podcasts might have something to report in a week or month or whenever.  We'll see if Obama still has a fanbase who are willing to listen to him here, since nobody's listening to Michelle.  That will be an indicator of if he has any real influence on the voters these days.

□ [“Newsom to Dump Low-Income Housing in Million-Dollar Pacific Palisades Neighborhood"]

The fires started just after Joe Biden went to California on one of his few visits anywhere, so the state had federal approval to torch everything.  California rules made sure that nobody would get to rebuild anything no matter how rich they were.  Now Newsom has suddenly dropped some of those rules, making it easier for constructors to get the no-bid contracts.  Yeah, nothing about this seems like it was planned.

Is it safe to assume that these regulations will still be in place for everyone else who tries to build anything in the state?  California can't even build a railroad in less than 20 years so they'll need all the help they can get if Newsom is going to use this as a selling point in 2028 when he runs for POTUS.  It's also safe to assume that illegal aliens will get the first pick of this housing, and they're already going to pay a lot less in taxes than the rich people who used to live here.

It seems most likely that this neighborhood will be used by China, Muslims or both to expand their turf.  It's right on the coast so I assume China already has ties, especially given all the celebrities who've been there for decades.  Liberals have been working to help invaders for a long time.

What really started me writing all these articles every day was covering the war on terror.  And well, this is the sort of thing I was talking about back then.  It's also why I supported the US in Afghanistan and Iraq.  You can quibble about what we did and why but it still comes down to we'll fight them over there or we'll fight them here and as we can see, Europe did not accept that.  Would have gone a lot better if we took over, shot anybody we didn't like and stayed there until these people learned to be civilized.

But now they've infested Europe and the US.  Leftists, globalists and elites support this and see no way it could go wrong.  They're protected by men with guns and have very few children so they have no reason to worry about the future.  Everyone else can be left to suffer from the invaders.  The invaders support that.

I don't even have any hope for young Europeans.  I want to and I hope I'm wrong but they're the ones who should be standing up to fight back, both against the enemy and their own masters.  It's just one of those things where you can't even fathom how a nation would get to this point.  They built civilization and then just crumbled.

□ [“AG Bondi Will Release Pertinent Epstein Testimony After Trump Calls For Documents Release"]

A little late now.  First of all, few people are going to trust whatever's released.  Second of all, there's a good chance it will just be empty nonsense, just like the documents Bondi said she'd release a few months ago.  Third of all, Trump specified "pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval.”  That seems a lot more limited than it should be.  I get the argument that court testimony is all that matters but even there, it has to be "pertinent" and the court gets to decide.  Just release *everything.*

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke out today.  A couple interesting nuggets.  For one thing, she said Trump did not support a "special prosecutor" on this, contradicting what one of Trump's people said yesterday.  True or not, she is the official spokesman so there you go.  She also reported on Trump's health, some issue with his hands and ankles which happens in men his age and/or with his health condition.  Don't know why, probably just the timing, but I get the impression that it's something else, closer to Fetterman's sudden surgical change.  I know, I'm just trying to find any excuse to be positive about this.

Unfortunately I'm still trying to be optimistic.  Could this get anywhere?  Trump just fired James Comey's daughter who was part of the Epstein's prosecution.  You don't need to bribe/threaten the defense attorneys.  She didn't seal the Epstein files but fought to keep them sealed from the public.  I do think New York state is a central point for these sex cults, like NXIVM.  The Comey family was involved, for protection if nothing else.

So could this mean anything or will it be as relevant as a P. Diddy trial, which is also happening in New York?  Well that's the question.  Who was funding Epstein all these years?  That's how we know there's more to this story, he wasn't great as a financial consultant yet rich people kept giving him money for no reason.  That's a lot of people who could be named.  We already know his island had lots of cameras on it precisely to catch his visitors, there's more names.  I'm going to say this reveal could be very relevant but you should probably just assume I'm wrong about it.  It'll save time that way.

□ [“RINO Congresswoman Introduces Mass Amnesty 'Dignity Act' – 'Yes, They Broke the Law, But…'”]

And here we go.  I still say that there's an actual plan underway and Trump isn't *really* betraying his fanbase, the voters who got him this far.  But what else is there to point to?  Previous POTUS have been suckered with 'fixing' immigration like this, now it's his turn?  Don't recall which came first - it was around July 4 - but he started promoting this idea around the same time he suddenly decided the government had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein so there's nothing to release, stop talking about it.

To an extent, there's the argument of politics being 'give and take.'  Can't get tired of winning if you keep losing.  Actual leaders really do need to get the opposing parties something, even if the rest of us would just say 'hell no!  They aren't getting *that*!!!'  But pushing this, on top of the Epstein thing, when lots of people are losing any reason to trust him, that's just insane.

Still working on the idea that there is a Trump impersonator going out there in public to say these things.  It's also occurred to me that the real Trump may be dead or otherwise removed.  The Secret Service would be the ones most likely to be responsible for that.  Considering that it was the beginning of July when he seemed to switch, maybe it's just part of a year-long plan to build up to the nation's 250th birthday as a reminder of why we need to fight all the tyrants.

There's a long-standing military lesson about looking for any way the enemy could destroy you so you can prepare for that.  I don't think it's the Sun Tsu quote about 'knowing the enemy and yourself' but it's probably inspired by that line of thought.  That is one of the reasons I think about these lunatic ideas, including theories I just made up, such as this being aimed for July 4, 2026.  It's looking for ways the left would destroy us, and so could Trump.

Which would explain why the uniparty will suddenly all be behind this new bill to give amnesty to illegals.  Not even going to wait a year or two for people to get used to this, they're just going to push it immediately.  Child traffickers and cartel employees can just get a quicky job and they'll be fine.  Or hide for a while, nobody will look for them.  Trump (or his impersonator) are expecting us to trust that the government will actually get things right this time.  No, we won't.  End of discussion.

Yeah, you'd better hope that I'm actually right about this being the work of an impersonator because he is openly ditching the people who got him this far.  Not even waiting a year or two, he hasn't even reached the six-month point of his second term.  Even Obama didn't get ignored that quickly.

He says he doesn't understand why his supporters want the Epstein files.  Has he considered asking them?  Maybe they see something he doesn't.  Not that long ago, Trump looked like he understood how leadership worked.  He can't know everything so he brings together others.  This is either part of a deep plan or a very idiotic mistake.  Those who believe in polls will be gushing with joy because his are going to drop immensely.  And no one's going to defend him because he doesn't want their support anymore.

□ [“DOJ Fires Maurene Comey, Federal Prosecutor Who Filed to Keep Epstein Files Under Seal"]

James Comey's daughter in Manhattan, who was prosecuting Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and P. Diddy.  It doesn't look like they prosecuted NXIVM, another New York sex slave cult from Trump's first term.  One reason I'm not totally attacking Trump - or if I am, it's telling him to 'do better' - is because there are clearly a lot of people doing this and they're connected.  New York is one of their most important locations, although that may just be due to the large population.

I think this is related to how the uniparty has finally started saying something about Epstein.  For them it's an excuse to attack Trump but it might be about fooling them into making a final push to get things out in the open.  Two House Republicans have started a discharge petition which would bring a vote to the floor without needing the approval of leadership, about releasing all the Epstein files.  Six House Republicans are now supporting Ro Khanna's bill to also release the files.

Even one of Trump's people say he would support a 'special prosecutor' on this, although that's pointless at this stage.  That's the sort of thing you could have said at the start, back when he was promising to release everything.  Now it's clearly an excuse to cover everything up, defeating the whole purpose.  It's the sort of thing that, unless you or your closest allies are going to be caught, just say 'yeah, go look at everything.'

Say what?  If this is actually true, this is the sort of thing I've been talking about Trump's other recent blunders.  I am not happy that he has suddenly decided to continue arming Ukraine.  He may well be doing that, but this sounds like he's gotten the EU - or at least the rest of NATO - to fund it.  Some nations aren't even doing that, refusing to contribute to funding.

If that's the case, I would bet (or hope, pray, beg) that replacement weapons and equipment are already in place.  So yes, if Europe wants to arm Ukraine, they can pay for it and we still have more to use.  I would much rather Europe send their own weapons but they don't have any and aren't willing to pay for more, so this is the next best option.  As the saying goes, the EU can get what it wants and still not be very happy.

Another bit of deliberately-unclear news is that Ukraine may be trying to hit Moscow with the weapons they get from the US.  Some media says Trump is fine with that, others say Trump is opposed to that.  He's already going to throw sanctions on Russia if they don't get to a peace deal in 50 days (or however many days are left.)  I'm not sure who to believe on this, other than I wouldn't believe Ukraine if they say they won't aim at Moscow.  Not trustworthy and it's why I don't want the US involved at all.

Haven't heard anything about their fight with Iran, so it's possible that the ceasefire is still underway.  There's virtually no reports on what's happening in Iran.  There is something against the regime but it's not clear if it's Israel or the Iranians doing this.  So this may be the back-up plan.

There's no explanation of why Israel is hitting Syria, but it's probably either Iran or forces they're funding.  It's been a few weeks and they still haven't done anything that the world will remember for centuries.  I hope that the strategy was to lure all these pro-Iranians together to make them easier targets.

To an extent, it's similar to the US in Iraq.  Terrorists weren't going to go to Afghanistan to fight us but Baghdad and the surrounding area was much more important to them.  Bring as many of them here so we can kill them and that's just less of a problem for everyone to face.  So that looks like what Israel is doing.  Strange how there's so little coverage on this, even from those who hate Israel and insist that Trump wants war with Iran.

□ [“House GOP Unanimously Blocks Vote to Require 'Epstein Files' Debate After Democrats Force a Full House Vote"]

This is getting very stupid.  If there are no files then this would be a way to prove it.  Everything in every office or location would need to be signed over from whoever handled it in the Biden administration, 'this is what was here when we showed up.'  I don't know how long documents would be maintained but the Biden administration could have documents signing these items over from the first Trump administration.  Considering these files would be relevant, the information on those documents is probably maintained.

Here's the evidence used to raid the island.  Here's the evidence found on the island.  Here's the people named on this evidence and whatever connections were determined between Epstein and these people. It's been six years since Epstein was busted, the equivalent of a FLIPL would put out this explanation and determine responsibility.

If the Biden administration, or anyone else, falsified these files and documents, that's a different issue and I'm not sure what to do about it, but make the f*cking thing public!  I keep saying that Democrats are falling into a trap of their own making but then Republicans unanimously do this.  For that matter, if there's nothing there, why not say so months or years ago?  Trump is out blaming Obama, Biden and Comey for making this up, it's a little late to suggest that.

I do still think there's a plan here but this is so idiotic.  And now House Republicans are tied up with protecting the child molesters.  At least Democrats will change course when they're ordered to, that's why they've ignored it all this time.  The right has been consistent for years on exposing all these monsters in public.

And those files are sitting on AG Bondi's desk right now, waiting for review.  Gonna be lots of arrests now!  That's how you make people optimistic about what you're going to accomplish, but you probably already knew that.  Just another week or so and you'll be able to start busting bad guys.  I can't believe how believable that is!

A bit more seriously, there does seem to have been at least a slight change of direction.  Two months ago, Congressman Tim Moore (R-NC) said there were underground tunnels in the capitol and it's suspected they went back to the early-1800s.  It's totally believable (I really do mean that) there would be hidden tunnels and corridors, especially kept secret from the public.  Also safe to assume a lot of stuff has happened down there.  We're also told that they just found a room in FBI headquarters full of hidden documents, relevant to "Russiagate" and more.  What a great coincidence.  Too bad we'll never be told what this is about.

Obama was definitely involved in this.  If nothing else, his approval was needed.  He's not an easy target either, so I have no clue what they can do about him.  He's always preferred to just vote "present" but eight years of officially being in charge, more of being subjected to icon worship, and however much work he actually put into controlling Biden's administration, he must know *something* about getting things done.

Other secrets are starting to come out, even if they're generally not a big deal.  Adam Schiff is a California resident but bought a mansion in Maryland that's listed as his "primary residence" to get a mortgage, not the only Democrat who does things like that.  But he's got nothing to worry about, nobody of the elite has been arrested for breaking the law yet, no reason to start now.

There hasn't been much attention given to news about the fake virus and the poison vaccine lately.  But they pushed this onto millions of people, promising we'd die if we didn't get it.  It looks like all the big drug companies did this, make up a dangerous chemical for huge profit.  Moderna's brand is dangerous to children, how nice.  The FDA has had to put a warning label on all mRNA Covid vacc, risk of myocarditis and long-term heart damage.  No wonder leftists demanded everyone get this.

They could have mentioned the dangers years ago but then it would have shut the whole thing down.  The government, the corporations and the left actively hid the harm they were trying to impose onto everyone.  Yet another example of something that nobody will be punished for.  The leftist rulers even made a point to protect the corporations from lawsuits for this poison.  They're protected from vaccines anyway, which is probably why they've been injecting more and more into everybody.  Strange how that doesn't actually help our health.

I haven't focused on this stuff for a while.  I was lucky in that I was mostly detached from the madness of those days and could ignore a lot of it.  But the left really showed off their tyranny and have stayed tied to that ever since.  We're also seeing reports of corruption between the government and "big pharma," like the EU commission president hiding her negotiations with Pfizer.  The Biden administration decided that anyone who disagreed with their handling of covid lockdowns and vaccines were “domestic violent extremists.”

As I said, I haven't paid a lot of attention to this, but more is coming out so I'm just trying to sum up what we have heard so far.  This was the first time I've heard that we need to start Nuremberg Trials 2.0.  We can also see how Biden's fake pardon's work with Anthony Fauci, causing the pandemic by working with US biolabs in Ukraine and China.  This was with full government approval, that's why he got the pardon.

We'll see if RFK Jr. does anything about this.  He says he is, really isn't a fan of vaccines in general.  He even says they cause autism in children.  He also points out members of Congress who used to have the same view until they were paid by 'big pharma.'  He's trying to purge the idiots out of the Department of Health and cut down medical expenses - good luck getting rid of Obamacare - but it's the sort of thing most people won't get.  You can see that from me, I've just gone through a bunch of stuff in the last few months and it makes no sense.  Haven't even gotten into the Fauci-approved torture of animals which even PETA approved of.

I've mentioned that three local protests were scheduled, Sunday, Monday and then the big one on Thursday.  On Sunday, I saw seven old white people with signs.  Yesterday I saw none.  I even drove to another location in case I had misremembered but nope, nothing.  When I got home, I checked the internet and I hadn't misremembered.  Nobody bothered to protest Trump in public on this hot summer day.  What a mystery.

I'm sure Thursday will have more people since it's the big one, and maybe the temperature will be down a bit.  But these protests are clearly failing.  Even worse, the people who actually show up without needing a paycheck may not even realize that yet.  So what is whoever was offering $20 million going to do about that?  And why the hell would anybody form a company to employ fake protestors?  Somebody knows how to scam leftists.

Congressman Br'er Fox has co-sponsored this bill to find everything in Epstein's briar patch.  As much as I'm criticizing Trump for this - and I'm not going to stop - I really am starting to think this was the actual plan.  And I mean this may have been the point for years, letting Democrats ignore it all until they're suddenly told it's important.  There is also the "Streisand Effect" where a famous person's attempt to keep the public from learning something only increases the interest in what's being learned here.

Of course it's completely unknown if the files or evidence on all these people still exists.  The "deep state" is probably still capable of forging documents to list every Republican as a criminal.  Not saying they'd get away with it but that wouldn't stop them from trying.  It's also rumored, because of course it is, that Epstein was a CIA operative.  I'm guessing that means he was bringing people in to film them for blackmail.  I'm also wondering why nobody accuses Iran of being involved here.  Israel, sure, everybody blames them, but these two have been tied together for a long time, so why not both?

Elon Musk and Mike Flynn have added to the list of telling Trump to just release everything.  This is an interesting parallel of what Joe Biden was going through a year ago, when even prominent Democrats were saying he needed to quit.  Trump - or his impersonator - has continued to not help his case, claiming that all this about Epstein, along with Russiagate, Hunter's laptop, and more, were all made by Obama, Hillary, Comey and their ilk to trick the world.  That's almost like a "crime."  If only we had people to go after "criminals."

We're still not hearing anything from high-ranking Democrats.  Obama, the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, even Biden and Harris.  It may take a few weeks but the party faithful will notice their silence and start asking why they aren't doing anything about this.  I don't know if activist celebrities and actors will have the same problem but it seems likely.  They whine about Trump on every other topic, why stay quiet about this?

And by "pardons" they probably mean every document that his signature was required for.  Biden was involved in discussions about the requirements for a signature, which probably means he was in the room, maybe even conscious, although not really listening or understanding.  Then when the staff had something they needed signed, they went to the autopen.

Every time this comes along, I've forgotten what I was told last time, but IIRC, it's the pardons being focused on because those do not stand if someone just put them through autopen.  Any laws passed by Congress still stand regardless of whether Biden even heard of them, much less signed them.  Documents for the executive branch itself probably don't matter, there's a *real* POTUS now who can sign any changes being made.  But even the pardons are a problem because what are you gonna do, send these people back to jail?

Some of Biden's staff have already testified to Congress under oath for this.  My guess is they wanted to save themselves by turning everyone else in.  As always, I assume this won't go anywhere, but maybe they can at least make this public how Biden was just a mindless puppet exploited by unelected leftists.  Then there's the people who were pardoned.  Fauci and Hunter will probably be the priorities.  Especially Hunter because he needs money badly and has no other way to get it.

I can't find the article I got it from, but the NYT apparently put this out only because someone else was ready to release it.  I also don't recall why the NYT was obligated to rush out and say anything, maybe it was just because they already reported how totally not-senile Biden was and really did sign all those things he never actually signed.  For whatever reason, the NYT is still at the top of the official media mountain so they need to pretend that they aren't just doing propaganda.

Even if the Supremes don't actually speak out on these activist judges - and why they hell aren't they? - this must be coming to a close.  You can only spend so much time and money trying to find judges who go along with leftism just to have the higher courts shut this down anyway.  And what other options are there after that?  Riots in the streets sure, but then you have to face citizens with guns.  And cops.  And military.

And what are these federal bureaucrats going to do?  All they know is well-paid office jobs.  I assume the economy is getting better but who's going to hire them?  They're all middle-aged or older, not the best competition against young productive people looking to work.  And what achievements can they point to, lowering the number of people who can read at a grade school level?

□ [“Over 400 Protests Against Trump Admin Scheduled to Take Place Nationwide on July 17"]

I'll have to check if these things are scheduled every month or if they just happen here or there every few weeks.  I checked my local event and they actually have several this week.  Checked a few others cities and didn't see any except Thursday.  One of my local events was today so I went to all the effort to get dressed and go outside and drive down to see what they were doing.  Wasn't worth it.

Seven people, white and middle-aged or old, just standing at the street and holding signs.  This is a weekend and today was actually cooler than normal for mid-July and that's the best they can do?  Tomorrow and Thursday will be during rush hour traffic but this can't be encouraging.  What do they expect to get from this?

Can't point to any specific examples but I get the impression they're one finger and others on the hand are more functional, the gangs and invaders being obvious examples.  It's not exact, these people have no strength but they do have influence.  I'm just trying to work out an accurate analysis, not diminishing whatever they might actually be capable of but not over-estimating either.  Maybe these seven are just the people who will show up without being paid.

For that matter, it's only 400+ events prepared for Thursday.  A few months ago they were doing 1500+ across the country.  This could be showing how the leftist resistance is a failure.  And these are the people who made sure they lost the election.

□ [“James Gunn's Superman Box Office"]

I gave the movie barely any thought this weekend, then I happened to look up how it's done and suddenly thought of something to say.  $122 million domestically, another $95 million internationally.  That's not bad but it's not great and this was a ridiculously expensive movie, costing well over $300 million to make and a lot more marketing.  Just the fact that domestic did much better than international isn't a good thing.

It might be popular over the next several weeks.  Less likely, the audience might be done by next weekend.  It probably won't be a bomb but it has to get close to a billion dollars to turn a profit and that's not likely.  The reports are quite mixed.  Some people like it or parts of it, others feel the opposite.  What I've heard just removes whatever temptation to see it I had so they can probably do without me.

Comparing it to other movies gets even worse.  Deadpool and Wolverine made almost as much money domestically in three days than Superman has made globally.  That's what a hit looks like.  Ant-Man 3 did almost as well in the first three days.  That's what a failure looks like.  The 2013 Superman movie did almost well and that's not counting inflation for ticket prices.  The point is that Superman will not save the day.

This will not help the Fantastic Four movie in a few weeks.  That movie looks increasingly like it will bomb.  The actors are repulsing the audience.  Since I still think Marvel and DC are headed towards a multiverse crossover, Justice League/Avengers, why not have James Gunn and Pedro Pascal do an ad promoting their movies to bring in Trump supporters?  Gunn pulls out his phone and films Pascal as they try to appeal to people.  The novelty would get tons of publicity, what could go wrong?

□ [“Fox & Friends Hosts Urge Trump to Provide Answers About ‘Ticking Time Bomb’ Epstein Case"]
□ [“Trump Gets Ratioed for the First Time After Weighing in on Handling of Epstein Documents"]

Pressure is building.  Trump isn't lazy although we don't know if the same can be said about the impersonator we've been seeing recently.  This is also making the point that unlike leftists, Trump supporters are willing to turn against the people in charge.  A fair rebuttal would be asking who else they can turn to and I don't have an answer for that.

One problem every side is facing is that this isn't just a group of bad people.  A lot are involved and they are everywhere, at least everywhere important.  There's the fact that Trump is often (always?) replaced by an impostor these days and the Secret Service is having problems.  I haven't followed the news there but it stems back to the assassination attempt a year ago today and doesn't sound like the Secret Service is completely trustworthy.

Checking my coverage of events a year ago, I notice a BBC presenter and a black actress I never heard of were both publicly calling for Trump's assassination in early July.  Just those details about them suggest they could be connected to Epstein and his ilk.  Democrats were already pushing very heavily to get Biden out, like there was a deadline.  Then on July 8, Biden said "we're done talking about the Epstein files debate, it's time to put Trump in a bullseye."  Just those details suggest a connection to the Secret Service.

A day or two before the assassination attempt, former Democrat Senator Joe Manchin said that the party would decide Biden's fate on Sunday, i.e. the day after the assassination attempt.  Manchin had replaced Robert Byrd as Senator, Byrd had been mentor for Biden and Hillary Clinton in a number of ways.  The point I'm trying to make is that there's a lot of history in these people and institutions, including the Epstein files.  Manchin, Biden, Hillary and Byrd are one example of those connections and a brief look at Byrd's life shows who he was connected to in building the modern Democratic Party as well as the executive branch.

It's not that people don't get that there are complicated aspects to the Epstein issue, it's that the people in charge aren't even explaining the complication.  It looks more like they're ignoring it entirely, not helped by Trump (or his impersonator) saying he can't believe that anybody's mentioning this.  The goal should be to put out all the information immediately and to provide straightforward explanations of why that hasn't been done yet.  Which Trump and his people aren't doing and will not help them succeed.

□ [“62-Year-Old New Jersey Woman Charged for Driving Through Anti-ICE Protesters Surrounding and Pounding on Her Car"]

This is a bit surprising.  I get that laws differ from state-to-state but I had recently realized that it had been a while since we heard about idiot protestors blocking traffic and surrounding cars.  I guess I'm naive, when Florida made it so you can drive the hell away from these threats, that everybody suddenly took it as a given that that's the way it should be.  I'm not sure if it's more stupid or more abusive but either way, don't do that to people or you deserve to be run over.

The whole notion of pedestrians taking over the roadways is fundamentally totalitarian.  The people doing this think that they're so important, everyone else must stop no matter how long it takes.  I would also support this woman having a gun in her car and being willing to use it.  The footage gives no clue but this woman turns out to be black, I'm sure New Jersey will drop any charges.

It's always leftists who say 'people just want to live their lives' and claim to support oppression, then oppress people by interfering in their lives.  They just assume they know best.  We're all an interchangeable collective, except for them so the rest of us have to obey.  I don't think it's possible to remove that mentality from everybody but that seems to be the real enemy we're fighting.

□ [“Czech President Urges EU to Change Course and Take a Diplomatic Approach with Russia"]

This is just the EU fighting itself.  Germany is acting like it runs Europe and some of their subordinates aren't going along with it.  I'm not sure there even is any real negotiations.  Countries at war are always talking, just to be ready if one side wants to surrender but Russia has no reason to stop so that's basically it.

The EU problems are too complicated to really understand.  France and Germany are trying to take charge like France and Germany.  Britain voted to leave and still hasn't done that.  Eastern Europe doesn't like the EU's *woke* agenda and has more experience with Russia so they want this taken seriously.  Belgium has always been undermining these countries to get more power, there's other problems with Spain, Italy, Greece.

Ukraine is having internal problems too.  Russia has been reportedly hitting military recruiting centers and the civilians are cheering because they don't want to be drafted into this.  I assume Russia has similar issues but Russia always has those, they're used to it.  Germany isn't used to it and this isn't going to work out well for them.

□ [“Kentucky School Board Chairman Resigns After Social Media Posts to ‘Shoot Republicans’"]

This sort of thing is happening all over.  Collectively the left wants to start killing people they don't like.  They really think they're at war and think they can carry out some ununited resistance.  Which would effectively be a bunch of psycho-killers doing their thing wherever they're at.  But it's deeper than this, this guy made his post in 2018.

This goes all through the system.  Disney/ABC's The View just promoted violence against ICE and won't be punished.  I do think there's a plan for this but it's unfathomable for most people.  We don't even get how the left can be so insanely bloodthirsty, much less how a government would go about doing anything about them.  And what could you do?  How would you even know how many of the hundreds of millions in the country are into this?

At this point, I don't think it will actually go to all-out war, at least within the country.  There will be attempts and other powers might get involved which will make a difference, but the left is too incompetent and the right is too well-armed for things to do that here.  They can't form an organized force so I'm not sure what options they have other than bioweapons or nukes, and those would have to come from someone else.

But those are also possible options because of how deep and widespread this poison-mentality is.  I just realized that it's getting close to 21 years since I realized we were headed for another civil war and at no point has anything happened to show that I was wrong or that my initial incite has been corrected over the years.  If anything, it's just showing how deeply this runs and I'm just an individual.  There's no chance of conceiving everyone else's viewpoint on all the relevant matters.  But collecting that for everyone is how real wars start, not what we're facing now.

□ [“Kash Patel Posts Statement on 'Conspiracy Theories' After Leaks Drama Over Epstein Files"]

I'm sure you'll be surprised to know that neither of them say anything relevant, just telling their supporters to ignore the very thing they used to make noise about revealing.  If you want to find a place where Trump and Democrats completely agree, it's that Trump supporters need to shut the hell up about this stuff.  Not sure that'll win over any Democrats but it's the best option here.

Or Trump could take into account that Trump supporters think this is a very big deal.  If there was a vote on the matter, I doubt 'we'll stay quiet' would be the winner.  So why, at this point in your final term, are you so willing to turn on them?  Or did I just answer my own question?

Except for Epstein's girlfriend, daughter of British media billionaire Robert Maxwell, nobody has been arrested for this.  Human trafficking and maintaining an island mansion to rape children is not a one-man job, so there's lots of names to expose to the public right there, to say nothing of all the visiting rich and famous people.  The fact that Trump, Patel, Bondi, Bongino and others see nothing there works as solid proof who's side they're really on.

The fact that you have delayed this since barely halfway into Trump's first term also counts as evidence.  At least you'd probably get a pass if Trump makes a speech admitting that he got this wrong and starts listing the names and crimes.  It's not like you're going to punish them for anything.  You're just keeping them safe from everyone else.

□ [“Trump Slaps Mexico and European Union with 30% Tariffs"]

Hadn't heard about these for a while.  They said they'd negotiate so Trump drop them but apparently negotiations haven't gone anywhere so here they are again.  I've heard that businesses and factories have started moving to the US although I'm sure they take years to set-up so there no proof.  Something to worry about, all they have to do is outwait Trump and his negotiations can be ignored.

With Europe, he needs to straighten them out against the invaders and their own *woke* beliefs.  Also get them to start funding NATO.  That's a pretty big task right there.  With Mexico, it might be a bit easier.  They're on our border so we can use a bit more muscle and go after the cartels.  I don't know if it's possible but it might be better for everyone if we just invade, wipe the gangsters out and then leave Mexico as a mostly-independent territory.

Both of these are part of the conflict with China (and probably all of BRICS.)  Haven't heard a word about how those negotiations are going but I would assume China is much tougher than Europe or Mexico.  It probably has a lot of pull on them as well.  But otherwise it's surprising that the tariff issue has been ignored for the last couple months.  After it was supposed to collapse our economy, the media just went quiet.  On orders from China, Europe and Mexico?
