□ [“Sammy Hagar Hits Back at Alex Van Halen's 'Complete Idiot' Comment”]

With everything else going on, suddenly there's attention given to aging rock stars.  It's been 40 years and they're still at it.  I don't know if this is happening to all of them or just the ones I pay attention to.

For reasons that make no sense, Alex has been attacking Sammy consistently for the last year or two, trashing everything he brought to the band.  I think if Alex were serious he should give up the royalties for the Van Hagar albums since they're so worthless but we know he's not going to do that.  Sammy and his manager knew how to handle contracts so the band made a lot more money with him than with David Lee Roth.  You willing to stand by your claims, Alex?

There's a couple things going on and I'm not sure if they're connected or not.  Alex is preparing to release a biography and will be promoting it with unreleased Van Halen music.  David Lee Roth had quit touring several years ago but then came back for unknown reasons.  My guess is he needed the money, he got much less than the rest of the band from Sammy's changes to the contracts.  But his recent tour wasn't selling tickets and he had to give up before it got too humiliating.

Sammy even spoke out immediately, offering to help Dave in some way, no specifics were given.  There's no evidence Dave accepted that but he was immediately seen meeting with Alex.  Mikey has stayed mostly silent and Wolfgang has only made statements praising every era of his father's band.  So that's where it currently stands.

It's entirely possible this is all a show for the public.  They're trying to remind people 'hey, remember that band you used to like?  They're arguing again!'  I don't know what the end goal would be.  I don't think anybody's craving a new album and other than the novelty, I'm not sure what a tour would bring them.  Sammy and/or Wolfgang might not even be involved in this scheme.  Frankly I think Alex is the only one who's definitely up to something but it's not clear what.

Alex has been extremely lucky his whole life and made full use of the downsides to being so lucky.  He was never the star of the band, people didn't buy tickets or records for him.  People don't mention hearing some Van Halen song which inspired them to learn drums.  Nobody suggests him in discussions of who to get for a drummer on some track.  He's only ever appeared on one song that isn't Van Halen and it was supposed to be.  The band was supposed to do multiple songs for a movie soundtrack but Sammy refused to do more than one so the other was an instrumental.

Alex has also been able to spend his life on drugs, multiple marriages and connections to his native Netherlands.  We see the problems they're having these days and I just assume Alex sides with the rich people in charge.  That's the way he's always been.  He was part of the biggest band of its time, blood-brothers with the guy who made it so popular.  You want Van Halen, you've got to get through Alex first.  So he got a lot of benefits and didn't face the risk, or public approval.  This leaves a lot of space to develop delusions over the years.  That's why I think it's so strange that this is coming out now.

One thing few people think about is that these bands are "intellectual property" in and of themselves.  Van Halen is not just two brothers who hire a singer and bass-player, it's a private business and we don't know who has what rights in the organization.  Reportedly Mikey had to give up all his rights to become a contract employee before he was allowed to join his final tour, the 2004 reunion with Sammy.  Sammy would have maintained whatever rights he had as a band member but we don't know what those are or if they extend beyond the four Van Hagar albums.  When Dave returned in 2007, I assume he negotiated some increase from the old contracts but there's no clue what he got.

So the majority of whatever's left of the band is down to Alex and Wolfgang, assuming neither of them has sold their rights.  Sammy would be the only other major player in this franchise.  Then there's the fact that Alex has spent most of his life behind closed doors so we don't know what else he's up to with other rich European perverts.  And that's why, assuming this isn't just a public spectacle to gain publicity, I think this is coming to a head now.

Alex recently sold his drums.  He was already out of the business because he never did anything but that would make it official.  As we see with a lot of other aging celebrities, particularly rock stars, they're ready to sell their music to make tons of money, enough to last them the rest of their lives.  So that needs to be settled with Sammy.  There's also whatever political or activist fights are going on behind the scenes.  Alex has not had to deal with reality like normal people do for most of his life so there's really no telling what he's trying to do.  But it's building to a climax.

I'm wondering what other old rock stars are doing these days.  Most of my favorites were popular before I was born but I occasionally think about how they're ending things.  Or other bands who weren't my favorites but were still very popular, what will happen to their legacy?  Mick Jagger is still trying to keep the Rolling Stones going even though Keith Richards is clearly out of it at this point.  He didn't appear in the promotion for their new album and there won't be a tour.  Led Zeppelin is pushing 50 years since they broke up and it doesn't look like anything will change.  Aerosmith is over.

Guns'n'Roses is still touring but tickets aren't selling.  I think they're headed towards the climax we see in Van Halen, just a few differences, like the fact that nobody knows who's running things.  Axl recently had to testify under oath that he had no clue what his position was in running the franchise even though he's listed as the chief executive and chief financial officers.  How do you set up a tour with that?  It's a disaster waiting to happen.

Pink Floyd still gets a little attention, mostly David Gilmore and Roger Waters arguing.  Waters may be the main example of a band as an IP, he thought he was Pink Floyd and it would end when he left.  He was very wrong and it took a long time to realize that.  He's also an example of rock stars not having anybody around them who tell the truth, they just say what the rich celebrity wants to hear.  He expects you to hate Israel as much as he does.

At this point I can't think of many other bands I ever liked who are still around in some form.  Roger Daltrey has announced he's done touring and I have no clue when the Who was last a thing.  They used to be one of my favorites and I rarely think about them anymore.  The Beatles only exist as an IP and their remaining members will soon be gone.  No clue what they actually own anymore.  Genesis is similar, I think they sold their music for tons of money a few years back but I may be misremembering.  A lot of rock stars have done that.  Queen will soon do that, I'm sure.

They have the same problem leftists always have, they complain about the system and then become rich and famous so they are the system.  They can't admit that, they can't even do anything that's really meaningful.  Other than degradation, strange how that always becomes important to them.  Their kids can't do anything, growing up in wealth, so they just chase other kids.  That's the system they've always wanted.

□ [“North Korea Launches Two Ballistic Missiles in 3 Hours After US Military Drills in Region"]
□ [“Saudi Forces Bomb Houthi Targets in Yemen – Iran Reports Strikes"]

Something is coming to a head.  It's centered around Iran but it's clearly happening all over.  Trump was at Camp David this weekend but was suddenly brought back to the White House.  Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu was supposed to come to the US but that was cancelled and he went back to Israel.  Iran has issued a "code 100" alert, their biggest military alarm.

The bomber from the UK isn't clear.  I don't know why this would be reported by anybody and in this case Russia was at least one of the reporters.  How do you know they're carrying munitions?  I had initially hoped they were *delivering* them to Britain.  I hope it's not going to Ukraine although that would explain why Russia is paying attention.  If we're lucky it's going to Iran because we have Persians ready to bear arms against the mullahs and IRGC.

Trump has made a statement on Iran, that it comes down to whether he blows up the country, destroys them economically or if they can make a deal.  That's not helpful but he's not trying to be.  His point is that the crucial moment is very close.  Well that's good to know.  There's also a big UN meeting coming next week, that's why Netanyahu was coming over, so maybe we'll finally see what's happening by then.  And maybe Sidney Sweeney will beg me to remind her why she was born a woman.  And monkeys will fly out of my butt.  Or monkeys will fly out of her butt.  Excuse me for a moment.

There's other news with other wars going on but it does occur to me that, as untrustworthy as the media always is, it's even worse now.  I generally treat it like it's real just for convenience but it's not like there's any evidence.  Speaking of which, Russia says it's destroyed Ukraine's steel industry and Ukraine says it's bombing Moscow to destroy Russia's global energy market.  Seems trustworthy.  Ukraine is supposed to have stopped bombing Russian refineries but they didn't.

Ukraine also says Russia is getting Muslims to fight on their side, particularly for Chechnya.  I was planning to give up banging my head against a wall for Lent but the news continues to describe how Russia has supported Muslims, and not just from Iran.  Putin attended the opening of Chechnya mosques in a 2024 visit, Russia became an observer at the Organization of Islam Cooperation in 2005 and has held “Russia-Islamic World” organizational meetings since 2009.  A "Russian-Arab Summit" was planned for this year although there's no word on when or where it'll happen yet.

And it goes even further.  Catherine the Great established a government-run Islamic jurist mufti in 1788.  The Soviets established four state-run Islamic directorates and Russia now has eight self-identified "Muslim republics."  Is this true, is it propaganda and which side is this supposed to put us on here?  But this may explain how Muslims got very good at manipulating leftists, outraged at what was going on in the rest of the world.  The Chechnyan population is 15% Muslim and this is where the war has centered all this fricking time.  And you're just putting this out now?

There are still more details of the war going on.  In Toronto, Iranians - I guess we can't call them "Canadians" - are chanting for the return of the Shah.  In Germany, AfD is either winning more state elections or at least scoring very high.  Berlin is one of those two states and the prime minister has a crisis in front of him since he was supposed to stop this.

Cuba just lost its power grid, again.  It's happened several times in the last few months already.  They aren't getting any help from Venezuela this year so all they have to fall back on is their decades of communism.  And no rich leftists are rushing to bring in batteries or other supplies.  That's how much they care.

There's also other news events which I can't automatically assume are irrelevant to this war.  After months of pointlessly fighting the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros., it sounds like California is ready to admit defeat.  It might take a while but it sounds like they've realized they can't really prevent the studios from leaving.  That would cost a lot of jobs and taxes but if they stay, they'll go broke and have the same result.  So now the state needs to explain why it can't keep obeying its rich leftists.  Hollywood has always been a crucial tool for the leftist warmongers so this will be tough to do.

And involved in all of this is the anti-Israel rhetoric.  It's one of those things that's always reliable, it never goes away, and it doesn't even make sense at this point.  With all these other wars and events going on, how does anyone even come up with Israel being remotely relevant, much less the main priority?  Yet here they are.  It's almost like God had planned for this or something.

□ [“CNN’s Harry Enton Warns Democrats Polls Have Underestimated GOP in 4 of Last 6 Elections!"]

Polls aren't trustworthy anyway, they just aren't.  It's idiotic to believe you know what millions of people thinking by asking a few of them some very specific questions with only a few permitted answers.  It only works on people stupid enough to believe in polls, and not even all of them.  That's why they've started speculating how far off the polls are.

The only chance Democrats have this election is total voter fraud.  They've just been promoting far too much insanity for far too long for anyone else to put up with anymore.  The fact that Iran has gone on this long does not help Trump or MAGA, especially the gas prices.  Trump said they'd be going down in 90 days and we've passed that.  I hope whatever is going on this weekend is the turning point there but, well, can you really trust that?

I am mildly-curious what CNN is doing here.  They might be seeing that the leftist victory isn't going to happen and trying to warn people but they might also just be trying to encourage more fraudsters to get to work.  For that matter, it's a tv network, they need to fill up screentime with something so maybe that's all this is.  But there's also the fact that they've promoted big victories before and, assuming they keep track of anything they say, looked really bad at the result.  Hillary, Harris, Biden was behind for quite a while in 2020 election night.  That's why they're telling the leftist candidates to pretend to be patriotic and normal.  We'll see how well that works.

This story has been tough to ignore on social media for the last few days.  That was enough to tell me he was guaranteed to give up.  The whole thing was probably a publicity stunt to help destroy Israel.  Reportedly a bunch of other celebrities have rushed out to demand the same thing.  Rich people with no connection to their beliefs, what else are they supposed to do?  It's not like they could support Israel, there's too many abortions and homosexuals for that.

This is part of the conflict going on in the Muslim world although there's no way to know if Iran is in charge or just involved.  Or those in Saudi Arabia or anywhere else.  But this is a conflict that has been going on for a very long time, at least since the first Israel.  The left doesn't know any of this, that's why they're so easy to manipulate.

"The Hour will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews, until a Jew hides behind a stone or a tree, and the stone or tree will say: 'O Muslim, O servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.'"

This won't be solved in our lifetime but I think this current iteration is ready to end.  I think that's why these celebrities are being called in, like they have any meaningful influence.  Trying to pull in whoever's like them, cause a distraction for everyone else.  I've never heard of these people but they're filling up social media.  No idea if any real people are involved or if they're all 'bots but the war finds itself everywhere around the world.

Trump Turns Up Pressure on Putin, Signs Late Lindsey Graham’s Sweeping Sanctions Bill on Russia
September 19, 2026

□ [“Putin Warns European Leaders Preparing for War With Russia 'We’ll Have to Respond'”]

For a while now, it's looked like Russia and Ukraine had both lost the script and were just messing around with no real purpose or direction.  That also applies to Europe but it's a bit different.  The European leaders really do seem to want war with Russia but they can't actually do anything.  They have no militaries so right there war becomes very difficult.  A few countries have nukes but so does Russia.  There's just no way this can work yet EU elites refuse to see it any other way.

Zelensky's people keep getting hit with corruption charges, his chief of staff, his prosecutor general.  The latter managed to escape the country although he left a lot of dollars and euros in his office.  His ex-spokeswoman is telling the world that Zelensky uses a lot of drugs, cocaine being the only one named.  I have to wonder if secrets like this are the real reason EU elites are interested in this war, along with money being laundered through Ukraine.  It might also explain why they still can't do anything about it.  Only leftists would believe their media control makes them a military power.

My best guess is still that this is why Russia hasn't just slaughtered everybody.  It's never cared much about its own casualties, you certainly wouldn't think there'd still be any Ukrainians alive.  Yet the troops still move in very slowly.  Four and a half years, Kiev should be a parking lot by now.  It's not like Russia hasn't been bombing it consistently.  Ukraine is in basically the same situation with Russia that Iran is with the US, the difference being that Russia has troops on the ground.  Well, it's also Russia so that's another big difference, but you get my point.

So if Russia has moved in as they normally do, the EU would have immediately declared war and, since Trump was on vacation for four years, the US would have immediately sent troops in.  There's more involved with China, the money going through Ukraine, whatever Trump is doing, but this is the closest I can get to a sensible explanation of wtf they think they're doing there.  But it's why I've always insisted the US needs to stay out of this.  For our own sake if nothing else.

□ [“Fed Up Dutch Clash With Police as Anti-Immigration Protest Turns Chaotic in The Hague"]

Another European country added to the list of protests.  It isn't big, apparently they were trying to have a bigger protest but the government forbade it so only a few hundred showed up for this.  As I've said, I want these protests to be everywhere, not just the capitol city.  It's only the third-biggest city in the Netherlands fer cryin'...  But it is a start, this pressure keeps building.

I'm still not sure what Europe is going to do.  I don't think there's been any protests in Germany but any day now there will be some more elections where AfD has a good chance of winning.  The government needs to shut that down as much as possible, but that will make things worse.  They really need to stifle the populous and hope that works.  Otherwise what options are there, hoping the Muslims fight for the government against the people?

What I'd really like to see is the police (and the military, if there is any) siding with the people.  I think that alone would bring this mess crashing.  The elites are too detached from the public so they couldn't do anything.  The invaders would need to be fought and eliminated but the police and military would be best qualified for that.  They'd even have weapons.  I don't know if any of that is possible but it would sure be helpful.

□ [“Princess Diana’s Brother Alleges Charles Sounded ‘Giddy, Elated’ After Her Car Crash"]

Here's someone I never expected to give much thought to ever again.  She's been dead for over 29 years and was only 36 when she died.  Elizabeth had been on the throne for almost ten years when Diana was born and would stay there for 25 years after she died.  I really am surprised that she was ever considered such a big deal.

But to the extent anybody still remembers her, they may want to focus on some scandal.  Looking up a few details, I notice Charles was almost twice Diana's age when they met and already dating her sister.  It tells us something about that relationship.  I also learned that they met in November 1977.  Hmmm, the Sex Pistols released their only album on October 28.  It's like a large chunk of British society was ready to take the royal family down.

So all of a sudden Diana's brother has decided to reveal some alleged secrets about Charles as he nears his death.  It's said he was glad to hear about it.  Considering she was dating Egyptian royalty at the time, it's yet-another thing that makes you assume the elites have their own games which we're better off not knowing about.  Diana's boyfriend's father Mohamed Al-Fayed worked closely with Saudi businessman Adnan Khashoggi whom I think was very central into the problems the world is facing today.  But this scandal isn't getting into that, it's all about attacking Charles and his family.

We're also told that the royal family just wasn't nice enough to Harry, that's why he's turned out such a mess.  Nice timing since he's just run back to Britain, having nothing else to do with his life.  It's starting to sound like this is a stunt to ruin whatever's left in Charles' life and to set William up for failure when he takes over.  A lot of work has gone into ruining this royal family.

□ [“Famous ’90s Comedian Known as ‘Carrot Top’ Hospitalized After Trying to Kill Himself"]
□ [“NPR Culture Editor Rose Friedman Dead at 38"]

I just covered this yesterday but suddenly even more vaguely-celebrity types are in the news for this.  I'm trying to figure out how I've ever heard of Carrot Top.  Maybe he got some promotion on MTV back when I watched it?  That's all I can think of.  I've never heard of Friedman of course but at this point I'm always suspicious about dying so young.  And she'd had this job at NPR for fifteen years?  Since her early 20s?  How do you get a deal like that?  Or maybe I don't want to know.

I'm not saying these people are genuinely famous but they're bigger celebrities than you or me.  That's why I'm automatically suspicious about news like this.  Not just because of the Covid vaccine but I really think the left has made a point of installing their people in significant social spots like this and that's why they're suddenly dying.  We might take the news reports seriously because it's convenient but that doesn't mean they can be trusted.  Maybe these were explicit murders, or suicides, or demon sacrifice.  Maybe they were ready to reveal information that would send Hillary Clinton to jail.

I don't see any patterns or pathways but this just looks like something deliberate is going on.  Really it is the age-issue.  Mass media has been around long enough, there's a lot of people in their 70s, 80s, 90s who've reached some level of celebrity at some point in their life.  If that's who was suddenly dying, it would make sense.  But all these younger people, it's happening for a reason.

□ [“Thousands of North Africans Charge Through Ceuta; Police Try to Dismantle Beach Shantytowns"]

The news had gone quiet on this for a while although I noticed they never said whether or not the invaders were still there.  The police are trying to do something but it's not going to work.  The government supports the invaders.  It's not going to stop, the invaders only need to succeed one time.  The Camp of the Saints was not supposed to be a training manual.

I'm guessing it's deliberate to take Spain first.  It's restoring Muslim territory but it's also just the easiest target, on the water and the closest to Africa.  This probably explains why they've infiltrated the Catholic Church so Italy will be one of the next targets, along with France just because it's right next to Spain.  Greece is already under major threat, the Ottomans haven't been gone all that long.

The elites are in on this but it's unknown if they're doing it deliberately or if they're just puppets.  To an extent, it doesn't really matter.  That's what the EU is there for, to oversee the continent so whoever wants to be a tyrant has little to stop them.  My theory is that the leftism just ruined everything and gave the Muslims open opportunity to move in but you could argue against that.  Then there's all the decades of Soviet interference and the fascists before that.  Maybe it's just a trope, age and success leads to this collapse of an empire.

□ [“DSA Congressional Candidate Announces She’ll Represent Mexico in Congress"]

How f*cking stupid do you have to be to make a statement like this?  She's telling Democrats 'I will not represent you because you're not Mexico, so vote for me!'  They need to pray that voter fraud is in place because that's just idiotic.  But she's from New York (I think) so maybe enough fake ballots have already been filled out.

This is why I can't think of any way we'll get out of this election.  Maybe if Republicans massively win and the left has no choice but to admit they're a vast minority, progress can be made.  Otherwise, there's nothing to go on.  Anything less and neither side can accept the other side winning.  Even if Democrats had a massive win all across the board *and* it was genuine, the rest of us wouldn't put with it.  Even if it means detaching ourselves from the rest of society, we won't put up with them.

I don't think it'll get that far.  Whatever the results, there's no way the left can fairly win so right there will be evidence that our side isn't alone.  But then that leaves the question of what we're going to do about it?  Our side is productive but not united.  Their side is united and heavily funded by rich people but not productive.  I think this is why Trump has been going for the 80-20 divide, just so most people will know that they're not alone and it will be easier to identify the enemy.

But there's still the problem of these idiotic leftists in power.  Not that they're capable of doing much but they'll open the door to anybody who is capable.  China being the obvious example but look at this chick, you don't think she's got all the gangs south of the border ready to move in?  They're not even going to wait for January, we'll be lucky if they don't start invading before Election Day.  They'll know who to get help from in the US.

It's anecdotal but there has been signs that the wanna-be candidates are already overwhelmed by dealing with reality.  A lot of them are being caught or are just going crazy.  I'd like to think that this was part of the plan, letting the left drive themselves over the edge, but I still have no clue how that could happen.  I *think* a few of these stories have been about Republicans but I tend to assume they're RINOs and are facing the same problems.

This all seems to be coming together too simultaneously to be a coincidence.  The far-left suddenly runs the Democrats - officially, not just in secret - while Trump is actually fixing some problems that have been going on for a long time.  I'm not a big conspiracy buff but I am interested enough to see a lot of unexplained details that also fit in.

Just the large number of sudden deaths is very suspicious, especially when they're not old and the circumstances don't seem obvious, car crash or being shot.  The nature of the news means we have to accept what we're told so maybe it was murder.  There's also the Covid vaccine.  Or it may be the result of the internet, there's always been deaths like this, it's just reported now.  But that's what I look for in my conspiracy theories, that these deaths happen for a reason.  I always assume it's some form of 'death-worship' but perhaps they're traitors to the cause, or suicides to keep from being caught.

□ [“Ten Years Later, Colin Kaepernick Says He Still Calls Teams Begging for NFL Comeback"]

This demonstrates the basic flaws of an activist mindset.  He doesn't have the slightest clue that he was only relevant to anyone for that brief moment of activism.  The left was able to use that and we're still putting up with it ten years later but they don't owe him a goddamned thing.  When he's dead, they'll rave about how great he was and all that stuff but he'll have to wait until then.

Kaepernick doesn't even realize that he wasn't that good in the first place, the activism is the only reason he got any attention back then.  He was good enough to be hired to a professional team, that was it.  I don't know anything about football but even I know that ten years later he has absolutely no chance of going back.  Just the fact that he thinks he does shows how clueless he's always been.  He's been out of the game longer than he was in it.

He supposedly got a lot of money from that big ad he made a couple years ago, if he wants to play football he could just hire people to play with.  Of course that's assuming he hasn't already spent that ad money, or had it leeched by all the people surrounding him.  Or that he was ever paid for real and it wasn't just a *woke* promotion and he didn't know any better.  Anyway, my point is that he doesn't want to just play football, he wants to be on one of the teams that meant something for decades.  But that's what his activism was opposed to and he doesn't realize it.

The The: The Movie!

Today I dealt with massive traffic construction and spent a lot of money but I felt obligated to.  The Transformers:  The Movie has been released to theaters for one weekend.  I haven't been to a theater since 2019 and the closest one was 50 miles away but I saw the movie four times in theaters the first time around, rented it on vcr when my family rented one of those.  I bought a copy on dvd when that came out.  Not sure I still have it and I'm surprised to discover that I have not purchased a copy on Amazon.  But my point is that the movie has been part of my life, all of the soundtrack, a lot of the dialogue, the whole thing.

It hasn't gotten any better after 40 years.  Horribly written, directed, acted.  Countless times I saw some aspect of the story be really stupid and had to question why anybody ever took this seriously.  But I can't deny that I enjoyed it.  The animation was really bad but I was struck by how many times really liked some of the visuals.  Not that they were good, I'm not sure there was any appeal beyond my childish nostalgia, but there you go.  "So bad, it's good" maybe?  The gaudy color also looked cool.

Because I never go to theaters, I can't really say how the IMAX works, if that is the actual format being used here.  I couldn't say if the screen was bigger or what but it did seem to be complete.  I assume the effect is to take up your complete vision if you're looking in that direction.  I also have the same credit for the audio, I thought it was good but it's not like I have a lot of experience with this.  I'll probably see Avengers in a few months but otherwise I'd be fine with going another seven years without going to a theater.

I do wonder if the death of Peter Cullen had something to do with this release.  He was still alive when the announcement was made but he was old and presumably knew when he was at the end.  This might be some new promotion, short re-releases of a movie to honor a soon-to-die actor.  I don't know how well it'll work, my theater wasn't full by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm also skeptical of these companies claiming the audience is really affected by the deaths of their IPs.  Again, I'm not the person to really judge that.  My mother had died a few months before the movie's original release so Optimus Prime dying was a big deal but not really that impactful.  Didn't help that he came back a year or so later in the tv cartoon.  But I still think Rodimus Prime deserves his credit as the leader, so what do I know?

Can't say I expect to ever see the movie again.  I'll probably listen to the soundtrack sooner or later, that's an undeniably enjoyable part of the movie and it pissed me off that all the tracks were short edited version.  But this is probably a good place to live the movie in my life.  But if you need to remember what the 80s were really like, this should do.

I'm not sure what to say about the new 12-minute finale, Optimus Prime:  Awakening.  Another tribute to Cullen and Prime, it covers the eternal conflict but I'm not sure it has any real point to make.  I liked the animation although that might also have just been a novelty because I don't watch these things.  Not sure it'll hold up on a cellphone.

If you intend to fail then nothing can go wrong!

P. Diddy Dropped by Lawyers in Civil Suit for ‘Unpaid Legal Fees’ – Says They Overcharged Him
September 17, 2026

□ [“TMZ Report Indicates Paramount is Leaving California"]

They've been through almost all the legal hassles to purchase Warner Bros.  The only thing in the way now is California and a few other leftist states demanding court hearings.  Amazingly it'll take a long time to get that to court and even more amazingly, Paramount will owe a ridiculous amount of money every single day that the courts don't make a decision.  It's just blackmail that the leftists believe they can get away with so Paramount is leaving.

So much for the jobs.  So much for all the equipment and products that the studio would buy if it was still in California.  So much for all the taxes these workers and businesses pay.  If it's cheaper to leave, they'll leave.  I can't be the only person pointing this out, that's why East Berlin had to build a wall to keep people from escaping.  The leftists in charge weren't going to make things better so they needed everyone trapped where they were forever.

Warner Bros. will break apart quickly, they already had massive financial trouble.  I only pay attention to the DC movies but those were expensive failures and it would take quite a bit of success to make up for them.  So that's more job and tax loses for California.  There's a very obvious 'goose that laid the golden eggs' metaphor here but the leftists will just ignore that.  Hollywood has been a legendary city for the last hundred years but it's not needed to make movies.

I do have to wonder how much of this has been planned out long in advance.  For decades we've known A.I. was coming, just as we knew about the internet, and tv and radio before that.  These giant corporations would have put some work into researching possibilities.  But that's where my speculation runs out, what could they really do?  How accurate would their analysis really be?  The companies are still run by rich leftists so they'll ignore everything to promote the cause.  I don't see any sign that they really knew what the internet would do, much less television, so what could they think will happen with A.I.?

□ [“RINO John Cornyn Amplifies Karl Rove’s Wall Street Journal Column on Voting Democrat"]

Here's an example of why I've long suspected Democrats have successfully created a 'controlled opposition.'  Rove was hated by Democrats all those years yet when it comes down to it, he sides with them.  And here's Cornyn defending that.  You can argue whether they have a specific trigger and when it's pushed, that's when they rush to the left.  Maybe it's a bribe, maybe they're programmed, maybe this was always the goal.  Or maybe they're always the "bottoms" in this relationship.

I haven't checked but I probably say the same thing every election cycle because there always seems to be old Republicans suddenly announcing that they support whatever the left is currently doing.  Rove waited all these years to tell us he's siding with the Democrat and his lesbian priest and his favorite drag queens?  [Rove is in Texas, I don't know if that's who's on his ballot but you get my point.]  Why didn't he say that 20 years ago?  He'd have gotten a lot more support from Democrats back then.  Or, if you look up what people like Obama and Biden were saying twenty years ago, a lot more opposition from Democrats.  What's changed?

□ [“Rep. María Elvira Salazar Stabs Trump in the Back, Demands 'Dignified Life' for Illegal Aliens"]

Another example, showing that something is going on here.  Just a few weeks ago, she was trashing Trump for his oil deal with Venezuela, but then she erased her tweet and replaced it with a statement about what a great deal this was.  Someone got to her but it obviously didn't stick.  Given the other conversations we're having about women 'hearing voices,' I won't speculate, but there's definitely something here.  Maybe with Rove and Cornyn too.

□ [“Washington House Candidate Refuses Sobriety Tests, Sobs and Prays in Cop Car After Five-Car Crash"]
□ [“Arkansas Democrat Hallie Shoffner Would Trade Five Americans for One Illegal Alien Farm Worker"]

They usually self-identify as female but either way these candidates are showing off how insane they are.  No common sense, no self-restraint, they obviously don't have any around them who can say this is a bad idea.  Yet they clearly believe that the majority of people support this.  Listening to them, they're simultaneously on the verge of being destroyed by evil rich white men, or they're on the cusp of guaranteed victory that'll fix everything forever.

But it's not even just that the lunatics have been let out of the asylum, they've clearly been aiming at this for decades.  Just look at the old decrepit leaders, they've seen this coming all along.  They focused on getting as much authority as possible to make this happen.  Maybe they're senile, maybe they don't remember anything, maybe they just blow with the wind, no way to be sure.  Six or seven years ago, Bernie Sanders said we had six or seven years to save the world from global warming.  He doesn't even remember that, he's out there complaining about A.I.  The solution is always 'more government control' but does he even know what he's saying?

At the moment, Trump is the target.  Specifically his second term but I've been looking at his first term and he at least tried to do it then.  There was also his unscheduled four-year time off-work.  These all fit in, detailing what the left has been pushing and who's been doing it, lunatics like these candidates mention.  But also Bernie's career, lots of other politicians and political figures, all with the same lack of restraint.  Some of them had enough sense to build it piece-by-piece but they're immediately turned against by the next generation.

It's easy to look at what Democrats claimed to believe ten, twenty or thirty years ago, and some of those people are still in office, prominent celebrities that people pay attention to.  No one around them is allowed to ask what's changed.  Here's their replacements.  I still think a lot of it was influenced by Mao's later years, getting young party members to purge the older ones.  I don't know if that's a direct example or just the same results of the same policies.

□ [“Talarico’s Lesbian Minister Says His Sudden 'Moderation' Is A Con”]

His minister self-identifies as female.  Good thing I didn't bet any money on that.  But as you might expect, she's been caught on video saying exactly what we already knew, he's faking it in a lust for power.

“I can guarantee you that once he gets elected, he’ll change his tune back to where he was.  That’s what his campaign has convinced him of, the Democratic Party is backing off on their stances on trans and all of this, and so his staff is encouraging him to kind of do the same thing, just for the next 50 weeks, whatever days.  I think it’s bad advice personally, but if it helps him win, okay…”

I'd like to know why Texas lets these people live.  I'm sure they won't do anything about it anyway but it seems like the sort of thing that anyone who believes any part of this should be shot before they cross the state lines.  About all I can say is that this election probably has the least chance of being stolen for Democrats.

□ [“Talarico SuperPAC Caught on Tape, 'Shady as F**k' Scheme to Bribe Texas Voters"]

“We are paying people $25 to attend a one-hour Zoom class to learn why voting is important and why the Republicans are causing all of these bad things.  So it’s like a roundabout way of paying people for their votes, essentially.  It’s called the Paid Relational Program.”

These aren't limited to Texas either, by the way.  This SuperPAC is working in a few other states and it's not the only one.  Might be a little tricky to arrest since Talarico's opponent is the Texas AG but that could be entertaining anyway.  He's already made a public statement, just a generic 'Texans aren't for sale,' but I think he should be more direct, citing the laws broken that as AG, he should be prosecuting.

And this could explain Trump's recent statement about $5000 for each of us if Republicans win.  But here he's basically doing the same thing Democrats are exposed for doing, he's just being Trump about it and offering us a lot more money.  So if you want to attack him, you've got to attack them, 'the laws apply to everybody' and whatnot.  A lot of states might have things like this "paid relational program," that could be looked into.  At this point I wonder if there's been a lot of hidden footage built up over the last year or so to be release now, showing what Democrats get up to whenever they can.

Piddington, England Votes 98% to Leave the UK From Decision to Dump Thousands of Migrants There

□ [“Iran-Backed Houthis Attempt Strike on Mecca in Saudi Arabia – Islam’s Holiest City!"]

I assume the Saudis are always under attack because they have Mecca.  In general, Muslims recognize that it is the holy city so whatever arguments they have need to stay outside.  But there are limits, as we see here with Iran's foot soldiers sending in drones.  Or drone, it sounds like there was only one.  What was that supposed to do?

Looking at the history, Mecca hasn't been fought over too much.  Rome and Constantinople have been conquered more often.  But that's clearly ready to change.  This might be Iran making one of its last attempts to win, or maybe they're backed by China and Russia and have more ready to use.  The last battles over the city were during and after WWI as the Ottoman Empire ended.  I guess I'm surprised Iran hasn't tried anything before but it's Mecca so there needs to be some restraint.  For that matter, maybe Iran isn't involved, the Houthis just want to prove how great they are.

There hasn't been much attention to the new head of Saudi, I can't even remember his name and am not going to bother looking it up.  He's promised changes, not sure how that will work.  But the fact that they're siding with Israel shows that something has changed.  I'm suddenly swamped by anti-Israel propaganda on social media and there's always been a lot of that.  There's also been drone attacks on Saudi's oil pipelines.  And so the war continues...

Trump Redirects $52 Million in Military Aid From Europe and Middle East to Western Allies

□ [“McConnell Has to be Told How to Vote on Farm Bill"]

Just a brief 9-second clip.  He has to be asked multiple times how he's voting.  The guy next to him says "no" twice and McConnell says what sounds like "aye."  I guess if the goal is to humiliate his supporters, I can understand why he'd be here but I don't see any other reason for this.  My guess is still that the state governor has enough authority to say either he shows up to do the job he's paid for or he resigns.  The only people defending McConnell are the ones surrounding him now.

This is one of those things where integrity is better than the results, the Kentucky governor is a Democrat, we know who he'll pick, but McConnell needs to be removed.  Just leave the seat empty for a couple months, nobody's going to miss him.  It really is ridiculous that the people around him have kept him there.  If he was genuinely conscious, I assume he'd insist on staying in the Senate but he only seems to have minimal consciousness.

Both sides are dealing with this, there's just too many old people in charge.  Even Trump, it might have been better if he did this ten or fifteen years earlier but he's still the exception to the rule.  Politicians in their 80s need to be on the way out and that's the nicest way to put it.  McConnell is getting all the attention but there's plenty of others.  I wonder how many of them are actively picking their replacement.  Probably too many.

They're trying to scam each other.  Can't rely on the US so they need to insist they're still allies.  They're both in NATO, maybe that counts for something.  They're even creating this brand-new meaningless category for members.  Canada's part of the British Commonwealth, that'll help undo BREXIT.  And it'll make it easier to invade Russia!  Oh, those possibilities!

I'm pretty sure the EU is the dominant one here.  They've got experience with troublesome members.  Canada is still connected to France, or at least Quebec is, so this will help some of la Francophonie.  Canada might also have to pay for some help with Alberta trying to go independent.  I don't really see what Canada can get out of this.  They pretended to be equal to the US and that hasn't worked out, they think it'll work better with the EU?

And I might be the first person to have thought of this but what do Canadians say about joining the EU?  Did they ever vote for this?  Oh, it's probably one of those EU things where the people in charge decide and the peasants obey without question.  I'm not saying these two sides aren't made for each other, just that you might want to ask them first.  Also when are you going to add Mexico?

This is totally scripted.  He's pretending to do something masculine with a media figure and by some coincidence the discussion gets into how they'll handle the presidential elections.  Newsom can't just take the spot but he's from a rich and famous family so he's entitled to it.

Harris is the problem.  They can't just dump her but they need to find a way.  She'd have to face a primary and if she fails, Democrats need to explain how she got through two previous presidential campaigns.  But admitting that problem will bring up a lot of other questions they don't want to answer.  I'm guessing they're trying to set up a way to make sure she fails but keep it hidden from the public.

So that's what this media show is for.  He needs to be the respectable white male, too decent to get into the fight.  But if he's needed, call and he'll run in to help.  Not sure who this is supposed to convince but it probably lines up with how Democrats analyze their voting blocks.  Newsom can't win over black voters but he can't win an election without them.

Haven't heard much about the Minnesota scandal for a while.  Here's more being reported.  They're all from the Middle East - Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq - and they only bring in kids when they're being inspected.  So this sort of thing is going on all over the place.  I'm sure a lot more are being checked into, this is the first one where anybody gets charged.

For that matter, I'm wondering if this is connected Minnesota.  They'd certainly be looking into where the money goes and are already investigating Ilhan Omar.  It's easy to see them attached to NGOs and any other organization used to launder.  A Minnesota addiction recovery center was just busted for stealing $25 million in fake Medicaid.

In the last couple years, there's been a lot of documents showing "influence networks," the links between dozens or hundreds of organizations, along with rich people, lawmakers, media, activists, NPOs and more.  That might be what's going on here and across the country, if not the world.  It might also be used for drugs and trafficking, that could be where they get the kids.  I've also noticed that 5 of these 12 operators came from Syria.  Might be just a coincidence but that's where Obama stuck the US for several years and Syria was allied with Iran.  Ukraine needs to expose a few corrupt officials.  Jus' saying is all...

Europe continues to boil.  Gotta admit, I don't want to see this just in the capitol cities.  There's a lot of other cities and countries that should be facing protesters.  But it's a start.  I think we've seen police and farmers protests before but I want to see the whole population out there in the streets.  They need to make it clear to the elites that they aren't putting up with this any longer.

I'm curious how much of this is just society breaking down and how much is being influenced or inspired by Trump.  Whatever else you can criticize him for, he has brought this movement to life and it has momentum.  It's not just Make America Great Again and the EU globalists know it.  I'm sure they're putting every bit of influence they can find on the US mid-terms but, surprisingly enough, I think they'll have the least influence among anybody.  I still expect it to be stolen but Trump and co. have done as much as they can to minimize the theft.  If the left wins, we won't take it and are a lot more resistant than Europeans.  If the left loses, Europe is going to light up.

I keep saying this over and over but they should go on strike.  Refuse to participate in the EU at all.  Don't work, don't buy products except those produced by others who agree with you.  The elites will have nobody to rely on except the invaders they invited and that won't work out for them.  And remember why our Founding Fathers were smart enough to maintain the 1st Amendment for Americans.  If Europe had followed that example, you wouldn't be in this mess now.

□ [“Lindsey Clancy Holdout Juror Says He’s Being Targeted Because 'He Is a Black Republican'”]

He's also an immigrant from Haiti.  Checks almost all the leftist DEI requirements except obedience.  I guess that's enough to make the left ditch their belief in 'tolerance' and 'compassion' and all the rest.  He also says he's a Catholic, that probably doesn't help.

I assume the left is going to drop all the publicity for this case, assuming they haven't already done so.  But I'm also skeptical that the guy is really being attacked.  Maybe it's just holding everybody to the same standards but I don't believe it when leftists make this claim so there you go.  They're already breaking state law with whatever public attacks they're doing and if most of the complainers are leftist women, they're not capable of any real threat.  Other than to children.

I'm already tired of hearing about this case because it's icky but the deeper issues aren't going away.  At this point we're probably wary if we walk by an apartment regularly and always hear a mother yelling at her kids.  This might even tell some of them to start behaving more decently precisely so they don't look so bad.  Doing that may help their kids.

There's also going to need to be something changed about juries.  There's no incentive to be on a jury if you can be attacked against the law for ruling the *wrong* way.  The media is against you and everybody was ready.  Not sure how or why but it does seem like a deliberate set-up to make everything worse.  This is why I just say it's 'demon possession,' that sure would explain everything.

There's certainly room for conspiracy theories but for convenience sake, I'll assume that means he's still alive.  If it's an imposter, you'd think the Senate would have rules of some sort against that.  He's dragged out on a wheelchair, surrounded by people to keep the media away.  Enough movement to show he's alive but face it, there's no way he should be allowed to go to Congress.

His internet post says he's going to vote on a bill for the first time in months.  It's not clear which bill but maybe I'm just not paying attention.  It might be that he really needs to show up or be kicked out, it's been a month or so since the Kentucky Governor demanded some evidence he's still alive.  I guess China and his wife need to show that he's worth the paycheck.  Any chance he's going to read the bill before he votes on it?

This just isn't going to work well.  Maybe he can do something as an empty puppet but little else.  I assume Republicans have some plan to handle this, RINOs and Democrats probably do too.  It's not like this is the first time Congress has had to deal with this.  Maybe this bill is something really important, it would be funny if it includes his resignation and he never bothers to read it.  Not sure what else to say, this is just pathetic.

□ [“Macklemore Dropped From Ed Sheeran Tour Following Anti-Israel, Anti-ICE Rant"]

People I've never heard of or know anything about so I don't know how big of a deal this is.  Most of the shows are listed as being in "stadiums" so that indicates there's an audience.  And now Macklemore doesn't get to promote his work because he's pissed them off.  Hope he hasn't already spent the money he was expecting to bring in.

Not sure I would have expected it to happen for rap first but the general audience is getting more vocal about how they don't want to hear entertainers go on about politics, that's not what they buy tickets for.  And it sounds like Ed Sheeran - wtf kind of rap name is that? - understands this so they kicked the guy off the tour right away.  We can also see this with the recent Spider-Man movie where, the heroism of a woman killing a lot of people notwithstanding, it's been noted that the movie avoided being *woke.*  It has the success to justify that.

I think this comes from decades of Hollywood coddling its celebrities but most of these people really have no clue that they work for the audience.  They're rich and famous, or at least believe they are, they're surrounded by people who just encourage this, so they expect to get what they want.  Sheeran's marketing team decided otherwise but we'll have to see how many celebrities understand this.  To the extent I pay attention to any of them, I think there's been a decrease in Orange Man Bad but even if I'm right, there's no way to measure how much it's gone down.

It existed long before but as much as anything, it's the internet that's brought us to this.  There's just too much incentive to be surrounded by people who agree with us on everything and that's magnified by people who's job is to be famous.  So the leftism expands on itself and nobody involved has any incentive to accept reality.  But that's not going to fill a stadium, much less accomplish anything.

Not sure if it's deliberate or just examples of the BRICS connections here.  China gives Iran support, Russian banks handle the money.  There's a lot more going on of course, probably not limited just to these assets.  It's unlikely but there's even a small chance Russia and/or China are assisting the US with information about this.  I don't know how much support they're giving Iran but they've been quiet about it all this time.

The reason it's possible is because Iran's economy is basically gone so whatever assistance Russia is giving them, it's not money.  No evidence of course but it's rumored that there are some protests going on.  In southeast Iran, a group that claims to support the Shah has also said they won in a protest, wounding or killing a couple dozen IRGC.  If true, it means they're getting weapons and there's a chance some IRGC are turning against the regime.

The mullahs are gone, that's guaranteed.  Even if Iran somehow wins or Trump somehow quits, the IRGC is in charge and doesn't need them.  And that's without anything else happening.  If Russia or China move in, they'd probably want new puppets just to make it clear who's in charge and the mullahs wouldn't have anything to offer anyway.  If the protesters make any progress at all, that's it.  The regime would have to give in to survive or would be effectively dead anyway.  Even if these protests aren't real, they're going to happen and meanwhile the government, the military and the economy is effectively worthless.  I'm not happy with how slow Trump's attack is working but it is working.  I'd really like to believe that it's still on schedule although there's really no chance of that.

I was hoping to skip this event for a little while but it keeps growing.  They really do want to prevent black men from disagreeing with white women.  The white women on the jury have basically admitted that they supported Clancy from day one on the jury, that's why they immediately rushed out to tell the media how horrible this black man is.  The defense attorney's wife has been helping to push this so anybody can find who the black juror is and where he lives.  If you want to visit him though, you might need to wear masks.  Because of Covid or Antifa or something.

The left has been pushing this 'urge to kill' which obviously affected Clancy and her copycats.  You can see them fantasizing about Trump's death every day and we've just seen them celebrating the anniversary of Charlie Kirk's murder.  I've just seen several posts on social media today about how they'll get revenge on most of America as soon as Democrats win the mid-terms.  There's just no self-restraint or common sense, certainly no sense of morality that this is a bad thing.  There are laws against exposing jurors like this but those down matter.

Not sure why but it does look like this is a leftist conspiracy for some deliberate reason.  There's suddenly been a spurge of 'abolish the 19th amendment' posts.  We can agree with that but this all looks like a set-up, funded by the left to sucker people or inspire fear in their supporters.  I'm also expecting a bunch of women to murder their children in the near-future just to side with Clancy.  Not saying it's sane but they already support 'late term abortion' so who's going to stop them?

I doubt it.  They've verified yes, she married her brother.  The info has been released but I haven't focused on it so I'm not sure if it's her biological brother.  A criminal organization had made a fake family to help Somalis immigrate and that was the relationship used here.  So most likely they aren't actually related but that's part of the criminal behavior.

The fact that this is now becoming public indicates the feds do have plenty of evidence on her but there is no way anything's going to be done with it.  The left would just scream "racism."  Well, even more than they already are.  Every Democrat would protect her, especially if they already knew about this.

Arresting her would just look like a purge and even Congress has some protection.  If there's a large criminal organization here, too many Congressmen and their staff would be involved.  Show them pix of what they're doing and they'll still deny it, calling it 'fake' if this is put out to the public.  I don't see any way this can work in a standard manner.

*If* Republicans win big in the mid-terms, Democrats might possibly push Omar away, quietly.  Even then, she'd win re-election to the House so she'd couldn't just be kicked out.  There would have to be massive outrage across all party lines.  That's technically possible but does anybody really expect that?

□ [“Clancy Juror Continues Her Media Tour, Admits Female Jury Wanted to Help the Murderess"]

She admits they did this for political reasons, they didn't care who got hurt or killed in the process.  This was always what feminism wanted and they aren't even realizing that.  Basically every man is now wondering if every woman they see actually agrees with this.

It will be tougher to know how women respond to this.  Most of them won't make it public, other than banshees like this one.  They expect obedience, especially from women, and they're showing that by attacking the black man who held out on the jury.  Yeah, remember how every man is now wondering if this is what women do?  Now black men are realizing that this is just how white women are.  They don't want to be in the same room with white women out of self-protection.

We'll have to see how many women actually disagree with this.  Some will, that's just the odds.  Others will disagree just to get attention or to defy the others, like daughters disobeying their mothers.  More will disagree but not think about it too deeply, this feels wrong so they don't go that way.  I think women are fundamentally collectivist so we'll see how many just comply with authoritarian feminists.

But this could be an enormous crack in the leftist wall which is based on both genders being the same, except when women are superior.  There is no way those who think it's wrong to murder your children can co-exist with those who demand more help for the murderers.  This case is where it first became obvious but that distinction is going to spread everywhere very quickly.  For instance, every Democrat is going to be expected to support this for the next two months and that won't help win any elections.  This will get very interesting and these feminists rushing to get media attention haven't considered that in the slightest.

□ [“Leaders of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland Sign Deal to Break Up the United Kingdom"]

Very interesting.  They are leftist and I suspect this is the motivation for this.  The kingdoms have been united for about a zillion years so the left needs it destroyed on basic principal.  Even worse, putting these kingdoms together is probably why such civilizational progress has been made, different tribes in different countries finding common ground (except the Irish but they can be ignored.)  So the left needs to erase history at its source as they're doing here.

Of course the individual nations would immediately rush to join the EU.  Scotland and Wales would want to begin the membership process, North Ireland would just join Ireland which is already a member.  Brexit would be gone just like that.  Safe to assume these leftist leaders have a lot of contacts in the EU helping them with this, and probably the Muslim community as well.

It supports the EU so by definition this is a bad thing.  Britain is a historical institution so I certainly support maintaining it.  But that said, I'm not totally against the UK facing this issue of separation.  They have a lot of issues to solve and this might be a way of bringing that to a head.  They've already set the example for the EU in so many ways, this would be another one.  Even better, Britain would at least have a chance of surviving.  They have a lot of experience learning that globalism is guaranteed to fail.

□ [“DOJ Criminal Investigation on Governor Newsom’s International Travel and Personal Spending"]

Another hint that something might be done about this someday.  We already know Newsom's wife gets paid by government money and there's a lot missing after Covid, homeless funding, not to mention the high-speed rail.  Newsom has obviously learned a lot from Aunt Nancy who's very rich from all her years in government.  She's even just announced making millions from investing in an A.I. company, you don't think Gavin knows how to follow that example?

Beside the enrichment of the Pelosi family, I suspect this is about laundering money in whatever way the Newsom's can get it.  That's the investigation and there's a lot of rich Californians connected to it.  The high-speed rail will probably get the most attention, just where has all that money gone with so little to show for it, but there's probably also connections to Hollywood and China.  Newsom and Nancy's fellow San Franciscan Dianne Feinstein got a lot richer than Nancy.

But this is still the same problem we have with everything else, it's so big that there's no chance of it all being exposed, much less stopped.  I don't see a better way to do it but the Trump administration does look like it's going after their enemies, even though that's the right thing to do.  The resistance alone would be enough to guarantee failure unless we're lucky enough to negotiate China to turn against them.  Which would be awesome, I'll admit.

□ [“Trump Responds to 'MAGA Socialism' Accusations of Buying the Election Wish $5,000 Dividends"]

Not a good explanation for comments I already have a low opinion of.  He's basically saying that investments in the US and the drop in government spending will produce so much that the $40 trillion debt can be removed with enough left over to refund the rest of us.  It's nice to hear but I am really not optimistic about that and even if I was, the debt is the big problem.  Fix that first and then give us our money back.

Having said this, I think there's a couple other things going on.  For over 90 days now, I've speculated that his comments about gas prices dropping had less to do with the Iran war and more to do with expanding oil drilling in the US.  I've seen a couple small hints that gas prices are starting to go down but otherwise that hasn't happened yet.  But now I wonder if something else is ready to happen with his ridiculous statement on dividends.

It's been over a year since the Big Beautiful Bill passed.  Now were only a few weeks away from the next Fiscal year.  The gas prices will definitely go down before long, just think of what they were six months ago before the Iran war started, so that's going to happen again.  Put those three things together and it's possible we can get a massive reduction in the federal debt along with growing businesses, along with cheaper gas even if the mullahs are still running Iran.

The debt may be the main reason we've been negotiating so much with China, looking for ways to reduce it and stop depending on them, or their allies, while providing some sort of benefit for them.  I still think Trump likes negotiating more than he cares about the specific results so he has decades of experience to work with.  So I'm not taking him seriously on the dividends and I still see no good reason for him to have said this in the first place but there is more going on here than just the obvious.

□ [“UK Anti-Immigration Demonstrators Clash With Counter-Protesters and Police in Portsmouth"]

It's implied that they're able to stop the boats but I don't see any proof.  For that matter, the government could just send the boats to other ports at taxpayer expense.  Have men-with-guns at the ports to protect the boats and the invaders getting out, what can the protesters do about that?  I'm glad this is going on but I want more solid evidence.

But this is encouraging.  Not just Portsmouth but England and Britain and Europe and western civilization is starting to rise.  This is one of those things where just because the government has all the guns, that won't help.  I don't know if things will come to a complete strike by the population but it could reach a point where the only thing the government can do is start shooting people.  Even leftist governments don't have many people willing to do that.  Anyone they give the orders to could simply shoot them first.

I don't want to be too optimistic but it does look like the ball is rolling and gaining speed.  As Americans, we're focused on the mid-terms and the new Fiscal Year but at the moment, even those seem like minor inconveniences.  I'll probably have a completely different view tomorrow but right now it looks like any leftist victories will be washed away in a split-second and it's on each of them to sink or swim.  But that said, it is Europe we should be worried about because their masters have had a lot longer to set up traps to maintain power.

□ [“It's Dead, Jim!  Star Trek's 60th Anniversary is a Funeral?!"]

I've never been a Trekkie so this is just another franchise that I'm only curious about as it ends.  The anniversary was last week and nobody even noticed.  Paramount's having problems trying to merge with Warner Bros. but this is arguably the biggest property they own and they can't do anything with it.  I'm vaguely aware of a couple movies a decade or so ago and have no clue how many tv shows have come-and-gone recently.

I'm not sure how *woke* the original series was but Gene Roddenberry and its reputation were early pioneers of the leftist movement.  That's been the priority of the franchise for ages and to the extent it was successful, it's largely been about trying to build an interconnected fictional universe with only the logo bringing them together.  This is where these companies go wrong, what do you need the logo for?  We see that with Marvel, DC, Star Wars, the corporations really believe the audience will tune in for the logo so they can promote whatever the current "message" is.  This destroys the whole point of fiction, especially in the fantasy genres.

This motivation ruins the possibility of creating stories.  Worse, the company interest is in promoting the intellectual properties, the characters, above the stories.  To an extent that can work but you need to be really good at promoting the characters, which means not letting them push a political agenda.  Meanwhile if the story doesn't interest the audience, the characters can't save it.  We see that in other franchises, nobody's debating the best or worst adventures by James Bond.  I doubt few people are having similar arguments about Dr. Who.  Then there's the IPs that have basically vanished from the public eye, Tarzan, the Lone Ranger, Sherlock Holmes, Conan the Barbarian.  It's easier to do a rip-off of these characters which might appeal to someone than to be tied to whoever owns the properties anymore.

It's also a valid question if much of anything could work in the internet age.  We have access to virtually everything that's ever existed, we can check wikipedia for quick summaries.  There are certainly people who will spend many hours staring at a television set but even there, many of them are at least playing video games so they have some interaction with the product.  The movie experience is reduced, there's too many channels for everyone to follow the same tv shows, even the product itself because just background noise as we play on our cellphones.  All of this impacts the story, the characters, the creativity to establish them and the companies which pay for it.  So it basically comes down to Star Trek prophesizing a world where it can no longer exist.

□ [“Nashville Airport Authority Votes Unanimously to Change Name to Honor Dolly Parton"]

I'm not in-favor of this.  Obviously I don't get a vote, even though the Nashville Airport is probably the airport I've used most in my life.  She just died, it should take awhile before you immediately rush to rename things after her.  And an airport?  No way!  Politicians and military leaders, ok, I can see that, but not a musical celebrity.

Maybe if you're talking about a small town that really needs something to rename after her, ok, maybe the local airport although even there just seems weird.  But Nashville?  Pick a government building or something if you really need to do this.  Or even the airport terminal, that would be nice, but don't rename the whole freaking airport after her.

I'm sure they'll go through with it, it's Nashville.  The Grand Old Opry is right there so you've probably got tons of influence although why they can't rename it the "Gran Dolly Opry" is beyond me.  It makes as much sense.  It's one thing for her to be famous and loved but I'm just not a fan of things like this.

□ [“CIA Declassifies Historic Document Warning Bush and Clinton About Bin Laden Airplane Plot"]

An anniversary we never thought we'd see.  Yes it happens in other countries but the point is that we're supposed to have enough defense and security to prevent it here.  If other countries were better, they could protect themselves too.  But it failed and the next 25 years have been the result.

I haven't thought much about any of these conspiracy theories or what was missed by the government before 9/11.  They can't prevent everything and the best defenses can still be avoided.  You can look into more, why bin Laden, how did he get people through, all that, but that's still just conspiracy theory.  It's usually dictated by someone who already has their outcome prepared, which isn't that different from al Qaida or their ilk.

For all the change we've seen of the last 25 years, I'm not sure how much can really be blamed on 9/11 or its aftermath.  It was the first major event of the 21st century, nothing before that had been particularly relevant or interesting.  Civilization had been planning for the new millennium for decades and I suspect that was more impactful, the destruction of the World Trade Center was just the sign that we had finally reached a new era.

My interest at the time and for many years after was in our response.  To this day, I still support our military attacks.  The Taliban supported bin Laden so Afghanistan was an obvious target.  But it wasn't a major deal to the Muslim world so we needed something more direct and we'd had problems with Saddam Hussein for years so Iraq was the next choice.  You can quibble with how we handled this but I still think the intent was solid and our actions on the ground built on that.  I used to work for men who were on the ground in Afghanistan a week after 9/11 and I still cite Father's Day 2014 as a big deal in Iraq.  From there we had to look into the rest of the Muslim world and that conflict will probably still be going on after we're all dead.

But the people on the planes, those in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, they didn't get that time to react.  The destruction could be repaired but not the enormous damage of this attack.  For all the protection and security we're supposed to have, at some point it runs out.  Then the survivors have to figure out what to do next.

I don't have any great statement to make.  I've been thinking a lot about 9/11 today, a significant anniversary, but not sure what else there is to say.  I can only hope that we've learned more of what we're fighting for and what our enemy fights for, because we can be sure that they've learned from this.  Stay productive, work as long as hard as we can until it's over, that's the only chance we have of winning this war.

British MPs Vote Against Assisted Suicide Bill, 286-270

□ [“CBS Host Gayle King Stunned to Learn Lone Clancy Holdout Was a Black Guy"]

The next crack in the leftist armor, one juror held out for a week because Clancy murdered her children.  The others are all attacking him and now we learn that he's a black man.  The rest were white, almost all were female.  They expected obedience and are pissed that they didn't get it.

NBC Boston has already identified the guy and is trying to get him doxxed, i.e. his personal info is released to the public so they can attack him.  Because that's how you keep black men in line?  Doesn't sound like any of these people think that's a bad idea.  Good way to push black men away but what will white liberal women do without them?  It's also not a good way to get normal people willing to take part in juries, so these white liberal women can be surrounded by people who agree with them.

So in general we're seeing men react to this differently from women.  Now we're going to see black men specifically react.  The women are going to start reversing themselves real quickly, they won't want to be associated with this.  Even on Oprah's podcast - can't tell if it's a new one or if it's from yesterday - a black woman stood up to insist Clancy murdered her kids and defied all the other women to hold that position.  That's the sort of thing that gets noticed.

Just a guess, but I'd say men in general are stepping back and saying this is messed up.  This will give them a chance to think seriously about what's going on, especially as the media has to figure out what to do.  Black women will have to pick between staying with black men or white women.  Not sure which way they'll go but they'll probably be insane.  Other non-white women, exceptions noted, will probably be generally sensible about this since leftism is mostly for whites.

And then the white women will realize that they have no way to actually maintain anything without obedient men.  I don't know how long any of this will take but it might be yet-another boost for the mid-term elections which are already not going well for leftists.

□ [“Democrat Counter-Protest in Dallas Draws Maybe 120 – Mindless Freaks and Hateful Slogans"]

The RNC had a convention which is not supposed to happen in mid-terms.  I'd like to think MAGA has actual plans, maybe there's even some point to Trump's recent comments, but if nothing else, there's the opposition showing what they're worth.  Mostly old white people, funny how they're always available even without USAID or other NGO funding.  They're just doing the same things we've seen for years, adding nothing new.

I'm hoping we see some real results from the last two years of waiting for victories.  The illegal immigrant vote has been cut, the 'dead people' vote has been reduced and the last two years of insane leftism just seems to be driving a lot of real voters away.  It's not so much that it'll help Republicans so much as a lot of people who would otherwise vote Democrat might just want to sit this out, 'let the others decide.'  That could be the first step out of leftism for a lot of people.

I'm not going to say Republicans are guaranteed to win, I'm still worried the fix is in, but they do have a good chance of winning, better than most mid-terms.  That's probably why they had this convention now, getting set for the next two months.  And it's getting wider.  England and Spain are still having protests, they've started in Greece, Germany has had to accept a major right-wing election victory.  It's even rumored that small protests have started in Iran although of course there's no proof.

And these counter-protests are the best the left has to offer right now?  Even worse, they think they're guaranteed to win from this?  I really try to avoid optimism but putting it that way, there's a very good chance of winning something for real in the near-future.

□ [“'Transfeminist Abolition' and 'Communist Sex Forests':  Inside the Socialism 2026 Summit"]

I'm still trying to figure this out.  There was some leftist get-together in Chicago last weekend and these were the sort of things they talked about.  Just these titles demonstrate that they don't even bother with what words actually mean.  This is a good way to trap normal people because we react to the actual words.  This is just how their minds work, like they aren't fully developed.  They finally learned enough words to make something sound like a complex term but it really doesn't mean anything.  Might as well consider it a disguise for their emotions.

I still go back and forth on whether or not they really are individual people or if they actually qualify as a collective.  The evidence is pretty strong either way.  Collectively they all seem to react the same way at the same time for the same reason, even with no interaction.  As individuals, it might be easiest to see with the way they turn on each other, which itself shows their uniform reaction to anything.

As an example, we see them turning against J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books.  She's totally leftist, even supports transgenderism, she just doesn't want boys in girl's locker rooms.  For that, they uniformly turn against her.  What's really weird is that they still seem to worship the books, even though she still owns the rights.  Looking it up, she still owns all the rights, meaning movies or whatever are licensed out to other companies.  She created the franchise they love and they hate her for it.  It's like they would be thrilled if a giant corporation owned everything.  Makes me wonder if she put other messages in this book about child magic and that's what they're really responding to.

This shows why leftism is so undefinable.  They can't base it on reality or even describe it with correct words - as seen by how they pretend there's a distinction between "socialism," "marxism" and "communism" - so they're at least competent enough to be able to move from one point to the next without hesitation.  Since they like being surrounded by others, they can take over a franchise, a business or university and fill it with the non-words as we see in this summit.
