Assassination Aftermath - 9/18/2025

This will be short. Yesterday was a week since a radicalized maniac assassinated Charlie Kirk in Utah. Long before that, I came to realize how much people on the left despise me and people like me. There is no way to cure hatred. I refuse to argue that I'm not the things I'm accused of being. I will say that I know Charlie Kirk wasn't any of those things, either.

The follow-on has disgusted me. I am praying for us all.

It is easier to call people like me and Charlie racists and haters than to have honest conversation about policies.

I hope, if nothing else, people who have never spent time listening except for soundbites will listen to Charlie talk in context and untailored. Selectively edited soundbites from deep in your echo chamber taken purposely out of context are nothing but pure propaganda.

If you think disagreement equals hatred, I can't help you.

The Vile and Revulsive Left's Evil - 9/13/2025

I'm going to try as best I can, and I'll likely fail as this flows out of me, to be as succinct as I can here.

The reaction from the left to the assassination of Charlie Kirk is the single most telling, vile, revulsive, phenomena I can remember. Thousands and thousands took to social media to do a combination of celebrating his death and justifying his assassination. Openly. Some even shared names of other prominent conservatives who it would be justified if they met the same fate. Satan is at work, fomenting evil.

Scumbag Celebrates at the Scene of the Assassination 

The scariest thing about the comments I saw, and it is unanimous among all the people I spoke to about all this yesterday, is the number of teachers, professors, and other employees of academic institutions who led the charge with disgusting and evil posts. Yes, I used that word again: evil.

One example of THOUSANDS: Caitlyn Spencer works in a University Financial Office. She said "this jackass got what was coming and I'm happy he's rotting in hell now."

It's also scary knowing that for every voice we hear, there are hundreds, maybe thousands who agree, but who had the presence of mind not to expose the evil in their hearts and minds.

The assassin wasn't a right wing person. He was a radicalized leftist, radicalized by the evil influence he encountered in his college aged years. Where did he get it? I don't know, but I know.;

There is no right wing movement that needed or wanted Charlie Kirk dead. Know that. There is no right wing ANTIFA chapter. If you are believing that because you're seeing all about it on Bluesky or someplace else, you're fucking brainwashed, gullible, and stupid, that's all I can say.

Note that there were prayer vigils on campuses mourning Charlie's death. If a personality as significant on the left as Charlie is to the right had been killed, there would have been violence, fires, and destruction. You can't possibly convince me otherwise.

Prayers, not riots.

I thought about posting a series of links to Black, gay, and other people the left accuses Charlie Kirk (and me) of hating. I decided to go with just this one. There are a lot more testimonies like this going around. I promise you. This will have to suffice in the interest of brevity. If nothing else, please watch this:

The Damani Felder Testimony

If you didn't see Erika Kirk's video appearance last night, maybe you should. It's almost 17 minutes long.

Erica Kirk last night

Erika Kirk's incredible performance resulted in more disgusting and evil from the left.

Raven Samuelson wishes Erika Kirk dead, too, so her fatherless children can be raised by foster parents and properly educated to hate their parents. Evil. Evil. Evil. Evil times 1,000,000.

I will not surrender to evil. I know now, better than before, how dangerous to our way of life schools have become. I know now, better than before, how much the left hates us.

Charlie Kirk fought a peaceful war of words over ideas. He marched into the lion's den, and he lost his life doing so. I never donated to Turning Point, USA. I will today. I hope you do, too.

Donate TPUSA

The left claims to walk the moral high road. 48 hours plus of unveiled evil tells us different.

Me and Charlie, Je Suis Charlie, a Lament - 9/12/2025

I am in mourning. Not just for Charlie Kirk, but more so, how the reaction I see to his death from the left is a reflection in my own life. In recent years, I've seen friends disappear. Oftentimes, it's friends who I know come from the opposite side of the political aisle from myself. And I've known, in my heart, that it's because I post on here about my opinions, and express both my reaction to news and the people in it, and too, because I express my own opinions and proposals.

I don't agree with Charlie Kirk on everything. But I do agree with him a lot. Like me, but to some higher degree of energy and effectiveness, probably by multiples of hundreds of thousands or millions, Charlie, too, expressed his opinion. What has become clear, disturbingly, uncomfortably, and strikingly clear to me in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and the reaction to it from the left, is that my disagreement, like his, is characterized as hatred.

Thousands and thousands of people on the left, in these last 36 hours or whatever it's been, are celebrating the execution of a man who dared to disagree and to take his disagreement to the fortresses and not sole, but a primary source of progressive thought: universities. How provocative! How evil! How dastardly!

You see, our disagreement is interpreted as hatred. By "our" I mean mine and Charlie's, to mention just the two at hand. When I say "Boys and men do not belong in girl's bathrooms," "men don't belong in women's sports," "there are only two genders," and that "teenage genital mutilation is wrong in our morality and society." I become labeled a trans-phobe, someone who hates or fears trans-people. When I say that "DEI and reparations are a mistake in our society," I'm a racist. And when I say "unchecked, insane immigration policies will undermine and destroy American culture as we know it," I am a xenophobe who hates brown people. I understand, the left has deemed all these issues are firmly, fully, and fnally decided and continued disagreement from me or Charlie counters goodness and morality. God forbid we articulate these opinions and say our opinions are predicated on our faith, this is even worse!

I have seen many, many mischaracterizations of things Charlie said. I think everything and more like what's in the preceding paragraph becomes how and why it's mischaracterized. Evils like trans, homo, xeno phobias and racism don't warrant or deserve a fair hearing, do they? I mean, they're already fully understood to be evils. Why would such provocative and destructive dialog warrant attention?

I've watched friends disappear from my life, largely since Trump was elected. Since the election of 2016 coincided with my retirement, maybe some of that is just the nature of retiring. On the other hand, the politics of the people who've disappeared is overwhelmingly left of center. I have to wonder, were I a prominent voice like Charlie Kirk, would they be secretly celebrating my assassination, too? A stretch? I don't think so. Thousands and thousands of people on the left are openly celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk. The iceberg theory applies here, there is way more ice underwater that you can't see, than that which is visible above the water's surface. For every celebrant I see, there are hundreds and thousands I don't see. Further, the justifications, veiled and thinly veiled or openly shared, to explain why Charlie's death makes sense to them, informs me: I am on the evil side of the ledger as far as they're concerned. It is disturbing and painful to accept that, but I do.

Charlie Kirk would want me to continue to express myself and to stay engaged. I will have to find a way forward, knowing how friends and former friends judge me, hate me, and why they excommunicated me from their lives, perhaps secretly or not so secretly wishing me dead, too.

I wish I could say, "I don't give a fuck," but I do. 

Iryna Zarutska, Decarlos Brown, and the Politics of Race in 2025 - 9/10/2025

I can't unsee this, no matter how I try.

 

 

Decarlos Brown, even though I don't think Row 2, 3rd one is him, this collage is a testament to FAILURE.

$3.3 MILLION from left-wing NGO The MacArthur Foundation went to Mecklenburg County to “reduce the jail population”, the very county that released career criminal DeCarlos Brown 14 times.

There's a pendulum of society, culture, and policy in most things. Today, I want to talk about the politics of race in modern day America, and, spoiler, to assert the pendulum has swung too far. It is absolutely the fault of the progressive left, and organizations like The MacArthur Foundation that the pendulum has swung so far, unacceptably and absolutely unjustifiably to a point where a mentally insane, murderous career criminal like Decarlos Brown is free, largely because he's Black and there's too many Black people in prison. I suggest there are only 3 ways to reduce the number of Black people in jail. Two of them are unacceptable. Here goes:

1) Career violent criminals (no matter what color they are), at some certain point, swiftly eliminated via the death penalty. Do not pass Go, do not collect $200.

2) Raise the threshold for incarceration to some insanely high level, putting career and insane, violent criminals on the street instead of in jail. This is what we have now in many jurisdictions across America. This is what we have in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. This is what leftist NGOs like The MacArthur Foundation are working toward. This is why Iryna Zarutska is dead. We can't lock up all the violent criminals, there's too many of them. What? YGBSM.

3) (The only acceptable solution, in my opinion.) Reduce the incidence or frequency and the number of instances of violent crime in the Black community. I do not know how to do this. Any ideas I might have, that anyone might have for that matter, will be opposed as racist and unacceptable. Yes, there are too many Black people in jail. Yes, the system has been historically harder on Black people in the criminal justice world.

As to #3, above, you don't want to hear this, but tough shit, here it is: Start with single-parent, fatherless households. Too many heroic Black women (and White women with bi-racial children) are raising their kids on their own. This is true in the White community, too, but the point of this post is reducing the numbers of incarcerated Black people. Next, is there a religious and spiritual void. Religion is not a cure-all, nor a solution, but being raised with and developing a faith is undeniably a way to reduce, I didn't say eliminate, instances of criminal behavior. Three, schools need to educate: reading, writing, and arithmetic. Academic standards are unacceptably low in many parts of our country, especially in our cities. There may be 1,000,000 reasons and justifications for that. IDGAF. A kid either reads at grade level, does math at grade level, or they don't.

Switching gears, only slightly. If you think I'm being racist because I think progressive policies are failing society in this regard, you are a huge part of the problem. You're trying to make Black crime levels an Emperor's New Clothes issue, where nobody is allowed to say it, lest they suffer accusations of racism.

Imagine if Miss Zarutska was Black and Mr. Brown was White. Every single thing about this case would be entirely different. Everything. And that's wrong.

Finding fairness and justice is important. Making our country unsafe is not a correction to those injustices, not by a long-shot. I'm not a big fan of the death penalty, but damned if Decarlos Brown don't deserve it. IDGAF if he's mentally ill. I really don't. Is he curable? Is he capable of being rehabilitated? Is he capable of remorse? I don't think so.

If the Emperor won't allow us to talk about the cultural and societal reasons Black prison populations are too high, and we don't want the death penalty, and we can't keep letting career, violent criminals loose, what to do? We'd better build much larger prisons and fill them with violent felons. Why? Because otherwise, a fourth option I didn't list, above, will come to be, all by itself:

Vigilantism. If our government won't protect its people, those people protect themselves.

A final thought. I saw a good number of posts questioning other riders of the Charlotte light rail. Why didn't they step up and step in? I can explain in two words: Daniel Penny. How much more about it can I say? Progressive prosecutors and leftist political activists would make any, especially any White good Samaritan, out to be the bad guy.

Part of the Yahoo headline about the Daniel Penny / Jordan Neely story: 

"Daniel Penny, who choked a homeless man to death"

Decarlos Brown was homeless with a long record of menacing, too. Just sayin'.
  

Encountering a TDS Sufferer Suffering in FL - 9/7/2025

I accompanied my mom for a medical test the other day. While we were in the waiting area, a very opinionated and chatty woman of 88 years, a retired NYC teacher, opined about any number of things. Clearly, she was a left of center blue voter, a customer of all her news from the deep blue echo chamber of the NY Times, CBS, ABC, NBC, and CNN, probably with a little New Yorker, the Atlantic, and NPR thrown in for good measure. I behaved myself. She's entitled to her opinion. I even went as far as keeping my mouth shut when she told us she hates Florida, "I hate it here." In the context of the rest of her comments, it was clearly a political statement.

Governor Ron DeSantis

 

"Come back home to NY, where your socialist Democrat heart longs to be!"

I know there are many deep blue, TDS sufferers who are miserable here or who won't move here because Florida is so awful. Governor DeSantis has done a great job, and as cities and states to our north continue to evolve further and further toward the progressive and socialist left, more and more moderate and conservative voters have fled here. If I wasn't being polite, I'd have told the old gal, "Move back to NY and be happy." I didn't. I kept my mouth shut. Anyone who believes the NY Times and still deceptively edited television like CBS 60 Minutes doesn't give two shits about my opinion, nor do I give even one shit about hers.

A parting note: Blowing up Venezuelan narco-terrorists is what I voted for. They're not criminals who we wait to arrive and hope to catch selling their drugs. They're an organized group from abroad bringing death to the USA. At this point, who among us doesn't know or know of a family, if not your own, which has lost someone to fentanyl? Sending these terrorists to Davey Jones' locker is the right choice.

Can you imagine it, there are people who hate Trump more than they hate these guys? These people think they are righteous and good. What they are is Trump Deranged.

 

Do you hear yourself? - 8/12/2025

Last year the murder rate in Washington D.C. was nearly double the rate in Bogota and triple the rate in Mexico City. Because they hate Trump more than they hate violent crime, the excuses and resistance to Trump stepping in is astounding. "So far in 2025 the numbers are down!" In my imagination, I keep hearing Margaret Brennan's interview with J.D. Vance, Margaret arguing that the Venezuelan gangs are only controlling a couple of apartment complexes in Colorado. J.D. said something like, "Do you hear yourself, Margaret?" Every excuse I hear for D.C., I have to admit that I can't think of anything better than, "Do you hear yourself?" "Crime is down in D.C., it's barely double the murder rate in Mexico City this year! Barely Double!"

The progressive left has dealing with crime all wrong. As they do with economic issues, they focus on outcomes. Too many in jail. Too many convictions. Unfair policing policies and unjust prosecutions.

That stuff ain't working. Why? Because it doesn't work. All I hear is resistance, excuses, and bullshit explanations. Yes, bullshit explanations. If you're one of them parroting these same bullshit explanation now that, heaven forbid, Trump is stepping in, I have to ask, "Do you hear yourself?"

Trump - Russia Can't Die, If It Does, Your Lies Will Die, too - 8/10/2025

I'm going to try not to look stuff up, so, if you fact check me and I'm just 'almost right' about something I have to say this morning, I can live with that. This bullshit Russia collusion narrative is 9 years old now, and I didn't keep notes or a database.

Trump and Russia. The narrative they can't allow to die.

First of all, I remember Wiki Leaks. They released emails from John Podesta. This was back in 2016 I think. Could have been 2017, but my recollection is that it was prior to the Trump vs. Clinton election. Do you remember what was in there? Like the one, important thing that undermines the entire Russia collusion narrative? I want to say the email was May of 2016 as my mind dwells on it for a bit. There was an email in which, before ANY of the Trump - Russia bullshit started out there, Hillary says words to the effect of "we'll tie him to Russia and beat him that way". It was the Clinton Campaign who tried (pretty successfully) to frame Trump for colluding with Russia.

Now a Senator, Adam Schiff claimed repeatedly he saw the evidence. Was he gullible, or was he part of the operation to frame Trump?

Nearly every single thing that happened since then, as far as Democrat and Deep State attacks on Trump, goes back to that fact, that point in time. Of course, if you watch CNN or ABC or read the New York Times, they're not EVER going to connect the dots back to that point in time, so I had to do it for them.

Hey, while I'm here, who said this: "First we f*** Flynn, then we f*** Trump?"

OK, for extra credit: what two people exchanged these text messages: "Trump's never going to be elected President, right?" "No, he won't. We'll stop it." I may be paraphrasing here, but I haven't forgotten. Have you?

Classified documents the Deep State worked hard to keep hidden from you, documents that were declassified by DNI Tulsi Gabbard, also show that the Russia collusion narrative is deeply rooted in Hillary Clinton's campaign. It was foisted on you because she had to do something to distract you from her classified e-mail problems.

But, hey. I still see Trump Russia colluded thrown out there by gullible sheep. What is most often happening there is that Russian meddling in the election and the notion of Trump colluding with them are conflated and treated as being the same thing. They're not. Yes, Paul Manafort went to jail. He sold some internal polling info, I think that's what he sold, to a Russian. Trump fired him. He went to jail for it, too.

Oh, yeah. The Steel dossier. Let's get some facts straight. Fusion GPS is a firm in D.C. that does what's called 'opposition research.' In 2015 a GOP candidate, I think it was Ted Cruz, hired them to do background on Trump. They did, and sometime later, after Cruz dropped out, the Clinton campaign contracted with them. Read this next bit very carefully. Again, as a disclaimer, if I have an improperly crossed 't' or an un-dotted 'i', sorry. This is from a now 68 year old memory.

The Clinton campaign commissioned, in payments rendered via a lawyer named Marc Elias (still very active in the political dirty tricks game) from the lawfirm Perkins-Coie, Fusion GPS for the Steel Dossier. Fusion had in it's employ a former CIA type, she may actually have been NSA or other three-letter agency, but I think CIA, named Nellie Orr. Nellie's husband was or is, no idea their current status, a guy named Bruce Orr, a DOJ lawyer connected to Crossfire Hurricane. I think it is greater than 50/50 odds that Nellie wrote the dossier, or at least parts of it. But, even if it was Christopher Steele himself or one of his British colleagues, that either means that the Clinton Campaign paid a political dirty tricks operation in D.C. to phony up the dossier, or that she paid a foreign entity, under Steele, to do it. Either way, Hillary Clinton was and is dirty.

Why all this today? Because all this is absolutely bedrock foundational to everything that happened to Trump in his candidacy and first term. Every single thing. If you pull these cards from the first level of the house of cards, it all falls to pieces. These facts, not alone, there are others, but these facts condemn the U.S. press, the three letter agencies, and the Clinton Campaign. Democrats attacking Tulsi Gabbard, Sen. Mark Warner, for example, one among many, know the cards are being toppled. 9 years in, there are folks who have made a career bolstering these lies. There are reporters who won Pulitzer Prizes for journalism for spreading them. None of them can go back now and correct the record, lest the house of cards fall directly on them.

Then there's the average, run of the mill, Trump Deranged Democrat. You've sucked so much milk from these lying teats for so long, you wouldn't recognize or believe the truth, regardless. Mark Warner and his ilk know this. They like keeping you stupid and ill-informed. They like keeping your Trump Derangement at a fever high level, all the better to keep you from seeing whose dirty tricks these actually were, and to keep you from seeing whose fingers were in the cookie jar.

Rhetorical questions, in closing. Would people who foisted Trump-Russia collusion lies to try to win in 2016 also lie to us about Hunter's laptop in 2020? Would they cheat in an election by shoving in thousands and thousands of absentee ballots in the middle of the night? Would they taint tallies in electronic voting machines? I betcha if you said no to all three of those, that you still believe that Trump colluded with the Russians. You also probably stopped reading this blog post a long, long time ago.

I wanted to talk also about how facilitating illegal immigration was an intentional political play on part of Democrats, but I've run out of rant for now. Maybe another day.

Change the F***ing Channel, Dumba$$! - 8/2/2025

Change the f***ing channel, Dumba$$!

Fmr CIA Director John Brennan is a compulsive and professional liar. And a criminal.

If your news channel of choice still uses former CIA Director John Brennan for analysis and commentary, are you a Trump deranged willing dupe, or are you just stupid? Watching John Brennan and believing him only makes sense to me for someone who hates Trump so badly that you want to cling to any and every negative thing said or written about him, regardless truth, regardless of source. There's plenty to legitimately criticize Trump about, but John Brennan isn't the guy you want informing you... or maybe he is.

If you watched a different channel, you would know that John Brennan was the one who overruled his analysts in order to help create a Russia collusion controversy surrounding Trump. The collusion narrative was a product of Hillary Clinton and the Clinton campaign. High ranking members of the Obama Administration took on the mission of advancing that lie with the specific goal of damaging Trump and taking attention off of Hillary Clinton's criminality in the classified emails from an unsecured and illegal  server in the bathroom scandal. It worked... of a while.

But then Trump got re-elected. Wasn't supposed to happen. They even tried to assassinate him to stop him. Failed. He got in office and appointed Tulsi Gabbard ad Director of National Intelligence. If you are listening to people on your news channel of choice who refer to DNI Gabbard as "a Russian asset", maybe you ought to change the f***ing channel, dumba$$!

Tulsi Gabbard isn't a Russian asset you f***ing morons!

Here's a brief list of news outlets I wouldn't trust to tell the true story of the 2016-present day Russia collusion story:

• New York Times, Washington Post
• Politico
• Slate, Vox, HuffPo, Daily Kos, etc.
• ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, NPR
• CNN, MSNBC

If you don't understand by now that every one of those I listed, and dozens that I didn't, are invested in the narrative, and in most cases were directly involved partners in crime, aka: co-conspirators, with the Clinton Campaign, Brennan and the rest of the Deep State, I suggest you change the f***ing channel, dumba$$

I can't believe the lack of curiosity from those of you on the left with all the revelations from the stunning ongoing declassification of documents. If you think John Brennan coming on CNN or MSNBC and telling you "nothing to see here" means there's nothing to see, are you really that  f***ing stupid or are you just a fellow traveler in Brennan's, rolling along in the same Deep State caravan of lies? All I can say is:

Change the f***ing channel, Dumba$$! 

4 reasons, 3 reasons, 2 reasons - 7/23/2025

Lemme give you 4 reasons President Barack Obama won't be successfully prosecuted for any of the relevations in the Russiagate scandal. He's neck deep in it, but if you think you're going to see him arrested, convicted, and or confined, forget about it.

1. He has broadly defined presidential immunity. The same standard of immunity that SCOTUS declared Trump had/has will apply to Obama.

2. Statute of limitations will be expired on many individual charges that might otherwise be brought.

3. Obama will be way beyond untouchable by any convened Washington D.C. grand jury.

4. Washington D.C. Federal Judges are about as likely to find Obama guilty of something as D.C. grand juries would be to charge him. As in not.

 So forget about it.

Now, here are 3 reasons Brennan, Comey, Clapper, Clinton, etc. won't be successfully prosecuted:

1. The statute of limitations will also shield these scumbags from liability for their own criminal actions.

2. Washington D.C. courts will also excuse almost any crime, even if proven, if it was done in the name of stopping Trump.

3. Washington D.C. Federal Judges are leftist activists and won't give the prosecutors of their fellow travelers much chance for success.

And finally, 2 reasons NOT to release the so-called Epstein files.

1. Because not every person whose name is going to come out is guilty of any crime. We ought not "guilt by association" innocent people in the interest of nailing some guilty ones.

2. Releasing the names may weaken cases. I'd rather see them build cases and successfully prosecute a few of these scumbags than to have the whole bunch of them get away with it because releasing these names compromised their rights.

I realize there's blood in the water and some of you sharks wanna eat, but I think I'm telling you right. 

The Tulsi Bombshells. Incomiing!!! - 7/21/2025

This morning, I've got stuff going on, so just a few notes on the DNI Tulsi Gabbard bombshells of the weekend (DNI stands for Director of National Intelligence, if you didn't already know):

 

1. Not a bit of it, except the specific documents that she has that back up the rest of the story, is new to me. Devin Nunes, Kash Patel, and Dan Bongino knew all this, too. But half the country get your news from lying propagandists. The Trump - Leslie Stahl 60 Minutes interview comes to mind, one medias suitcase of lies on a Queen Mary steamship full of them. You could look it up: Leslie Stahl and Donald Trump 60 Minutes. Go for it.

 

It may be new to you, but it ain't new.

2. If you do have even half a an open mind, find a good, clean copy of the Epoch Times Spygate foldout I'm posting here, above. It's all in there.

 

3. If you still think HRC, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, are/were all "good guys," you know, people who live and act with honesty, integrity, decency, and always in the interest of righteousness, you're hopelessly biased and or brainwashed. You are a huge part of the problem. I am sorry to say that, but it's true. If you had had an open mind 7, 8, 9 years ago, this wouldn't be a big story now.

 

4. Barack Obama won't ever be found guilty by a judge or jury in D.C. Forget it. It'll be hard enough to get the legal system in far left D.C. to get any of the other corrupt officals/conspirators. Obama? Forget it. Untouchable in D.C. Fantasize about something else, that ain't happening.

 

5. I wish I could say all this was unprecedented, but after all these scumbags did to try to stop Trump from being elected in 2016, again in 2020, and yet again in 2024, it's more like "about damned time" than unprecedented. Payback for having their agents rifle through Melania's panty drawer looking for documents that were in open dispute and the subject to ongoing discussions and negotiation? It is coming.

Spoiler: they were in Melania's panty drawer looking for evidence of what Tulsi has made public this weekend, NOT the documents they said publicly that they were after. There is supposedly a binder Trump kept that had all the bad stuff in it. Candidly, I don't know that there really is or was a binder, but I can easily, very easily, buy the theory that they were looking for the kinds of emails and correspondence Tulsi is making public.

 

6. Remember when evil Hillary called Tulsi Gabbard "a Russian asset"? Remember when the corrupt U.S. intelligence apparatus put her on a terrorist watch list causing her, a sitting member of the U.S. House of Representatives and an officer in the U.S. Army to get special security attention, aka harassment, when she flew? Seems like they f***ed with the wrong girl, at least it seems like that to me.

 

7. There is more to follow. DNI Gabbard says more documents are forthcoming. She says a number of whistleblowers are finally coming forward to tell their story. Somebody had to know something. Bring it on.

 

8. If you still think the Deep State is just a MAGA conspiracy theory, you're stupid. Wake the f*** up. TDS is no excuse for stupidity.

The Real MAGA Beef About the Epstein List - 7/15/2025

First off, I want to make it clear, I have supported and do support Trump since 2016, my preference for DeSantis notwithstanding. I don't call myself MAGA. I just don't. I do like what MAGA stands for, but I don't subscribe to any movement top to bottom, side to side. The world is complicated, sometimes I have my own thoughts and I'm not in perfect alignment with the mainstream.

Suicide or suicided?

Now, to the reason I'm writing tonight: Why is MAGA in an uproar over failure to release "the Epstein list"? The angry mob is calling out anyone who might not agree to the list's release as "protecting pedos", but at the heart of it, that's not the real issue. If not that, then what is?

The real issue is that Jeffrey Epstein is widely believed to have been a tool for intelligence organizations, in the U.S. and or abroad, secretly gathering information on his guests' lewd and immoral behaviors, which was then used to blackmail those same individuals here in the U.S. and overseas, to do the bidding of intelligence agencies. Whether doing so for Israel or the U.S., or both, that's what many believe. It's the root of people not believing "Epstein didn't kill himself," for example.

The theory is underscored by seeing how many of our politicians so often seem compromised in some way into making statements or voting in ways contrary to what would seem to be in good sense and in good conscience. All the dirt Epstein reportedly gathered, it is believed, is used to force politicians to play along or be ruined. Most believe, as I do, that our 3-letter agencies, the valor and commitment of many individuals within them notwithstanding, have evolved to be evil and corrupt, presuming to collectively know better than we do what's best and or what's right of our country.

Many believe our 3-letter agencies meddled in the 2016 and 2020 elections, meddled with Trump's first term massively, and had a large and corrupt role in things like Jan 6th and the Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping. Certainaly there is also suspicion about their role in either one or both of the Trump assassination attempts. (JFK/RFK anybody?) You can discount all of that if you want. That's your choice. All I am doing here is to point out in large measure, why MAGA is livid about the failure to disclose the list. Personally, I can see a good number of reasons they might not want to, but I'm not here to argue for or against, just to dig in to the root frustration.

There is one major flaw here. Yes, the people on the list are bad guys: pedos, etc. But they're not THE bad guys. They're the ones who were blackmailed, but NOT the blackmailers. Maybe, just maybe, the reason we're not seeing the list is because they're trying to flip a blackmailed ex-Epstein Island visitor to tell who it is/was blackmailing them to try and make a case against it. Is that what it is? I don't know. Maybe.

Regardless, MAGA feels we've been screwed by the system, particularly rich and powerful people in and out of government, and for them this list is bloody red meat. MAGA wants its due. They're hungry for payback. They want to eat. I can't blame them. 

And fuck the pedos, anyway,

Butler PA, a Year Later - 7/13/2025

 

"Fight, fight, fight!"

A year ago today, an assassin on a rooftop nearby to a Trump rally attempted to assassinate President Trump. A few brief thoughts:

Reports now that the Secret Service had intelligence suggestion Trump's life was in danger, but did NOT alert the agents responsible for security at the event. I want to dig in right here. How could they NOT notify the security team? I start with Trump Derangement Syndrome. All parties involved in the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Secret Service in D.C. were Biden Admin and Establishment types. You can't convince me otherwise. They saw Trump's rallies as a circus sideshow. A distraction. A waste of resources, time, effort, money, etc. Like, who has ever had this kind of a traveling sideshow and expected us to protect the head clown? For real.

Do I think they were part of a conspiracy to assassinate Trump? It more likely they were not than were so. I do think there was some measure of coverup. I don't exactly know why, but we do know that kid's body was cremated way too fast and I saw, within days, that roof being washed clean. Those two things, alone, insert doubt into the whole story. Do they prove anything? No. But they're goddamned suspicious as hell. If you asked me, do I believe it is an absolute certainty that there was NOT a conspiracy, I would say, no, there is now way it can be totally ruled out. After every corrupt thing that they did to try to stop him prior to, during, and after his first term, to say it is completely out of the question would be preposterous.

Let's look who was running the show: Secretary of Homeland Security "the border is secure" Alejandro Mayorkas, the single most contemptible member of the Biden Administration (my opinion, I know there are certainly others who some dislike even more), Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, a BIden loyalist who proved to be in way over her head, and Deputy and then Director Ronald Rowe, who couldn't possibly have show himself to be a bigger asshole than he did in the aftermath. There isn't a single one of them I would trust to ensure Trump's well-being.

Will we ever know the full story? Probably not. You would think we would know every single thing about the assassin. Why don't we? Remember the nonsense about not being able to get into his phone(s)? Something stinks. It could be a simple matter of them covering up their own incompetence. It could be something worse. It seems like some transparency would have been enlightening. How could we ever expect that from the same people who said the border was secure and that Joe Biden was mentally competent? 

Epstein and Other Outrages - 7/9/2025

Epstein didn't traffic those underage girls to nobody.

I have no idea what's going on with all the Epstein drama. It's really a bad look when two, opposing Administrations in a row clam up like this. The possibilities are nearly endless, and pretty much none of them is good. 1) The only speculation I discount, nearly out of hand, is that Trump was one of Epstein's clients with the underage girls. He wasn't. Nope. Why do I say that? Because if he was there is no way, none, zero, zip, zilch, nada, that the Democrats and Trump's enemies in the Deep State would NOT have released that. It is a certainty, that if there was a smoking gun there that indicted Trump, we would know it, whether via legal action or leak.

What I do think, not know, but think, is that 2) a lot of important people in government, elected and bureaucrat alike, all three branches, and out of government in finance, business, entertainment, etc., are likely involved. I also think 3) there's a good chance this was an FBI/CIA or other government agency or extracurricular government people's blackmailing operation. Our elected officials are being influenced or controlled by someone. Both 2) and 3), above, may be wrong, but I don't think so.

This is Sade Perkins. Sade is a racist piece of trash.

The Texas flood last weekend brought out the worst in people. I give the title, "Worst of the Worst", to a woman named Sade Perkins, who took to social media, and among other things suggested it was God's will to "wash the little c'nts away". Because they're white, and thus, presumably, their parents voted for Trump, and that, all by itself, proves they're racists. So, in Sade's twisted thinking, white people probably voted for Trump. This makes them racist. It also makes their children, especially girls, you know, the "little c'nts," legitimate targets of God's anti-racism wrath. I am sure Sade believes that. And when people tell you who they are, believe them.

Dr. Christina Probst has Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Then there's Dr. Christina Probst. Sweet Chrissy went right on social media, the dead were barely started even being counted, and pointed out that Kerr County voted for Trump and were getting what they voted for, finishing with a very cynical "Bless their hearts." Sweet Chrissy is unfit to care for children. She is an evil, deranged bitch. I hope life gives her what she deserves.

Anti-ICE activists are upping the ante and moving into terrorism and assassination. 

This is terrorism, friends. It's not activism any longer. This is not the last of it, not by a longshot (no pun intended). It's a good time to buy ammo and think about personal protection and security. They're upping their levels of violence. I think I'll buy some 12 gauge shotgun shells this time. Checking my gun safe, everything else is well stocked. Lest you think this is isolated and not part of something larger, I leave you with a link to an Axios piece. Read it and be warned.

House Dems Say Their Supporters Want Blood

Scary shit. Keep your powder dry.

Big Beautiful Bill - 7/5/2025

In the shadow of a B2 Bomber and F-35's, President Trump signed the budget bill on the White House lawn yesterday. I have mixed feelings about it. Some assorted thoughts:

1.) Thank goodness we're finally defunding Planned Parenthood. American women kill 1,000,000 babies a year. Right to choose my ass. 1,000,000 is too many. And Planned Parenthood, all the intentionally misleading propaganda about providing essential health services aside, provides nearly 40% of those 1,000,000 abortions. Do the math. You want a right to choose whether your baby lives or dies? Fine. Don't use our money to kill hundreds of thousands of babies.

2.) Making people who can work work as a requisite to receiving government health benefits seems fair to me. Not everyone can work. I get that. I am not talking about someone who literally can't work. There are also a hell of a lot of people who can work but think they can't or choose not to. We mollycoddle a whole lot of them, in doing so we help to convince them they can't work. And some know they can, but why bother? Work is hard. Free shit is easy. F*** those lazy mother***ers.

3.) IDGAF if people here illegally don't get a dime of taxpayer money for anything.  The free shit is why they're here. Do I mean all illegal aliens? No. Some, maybe many, are pulling their own weight. But the ones getting the free shit? Nah. No more free shit. Why not? Because they're not entitled to it, and because we can't afford it.

4.) I do not like that we raised the debt ceiling. I don't like it at all. I supported DOGE, but I recognize that the entire apparatus resisted DOGE actively, passively, aggressively, and stubbornly. I was staunchly behind Elon and his attempt to make an impact on the financial insanity in Washington, and I get, totally, why he's pissed. MAGAs are making him out to be the bad guy. Nah.

A couple of notes, unrelated to the BBB:

I don't like calling the immigrant processing facility Alligator Alcatraz. I do support deportation on a massive scale, but calling it Alligator Alcatraz feels wrong to me. The decision to deport someone, and the process of doing so, are serious business and not an internet meme. If they call is "Everglades Alien Processing Facility" or "South Florida Processing Facility," at least there's some dignity in it. I'm sure many disagree, but I'm not a fan of the Alligator Alcatraz name at all.

I read that three "unnamed sources" claim that SecDef Hegseth cut off some military supplies to Ukraine, saying that he was doing so to ensure our own readiness, despite having been told the supplies could be given without impacting our own readiness. I hope these Alexander Vindman types of unnamed sources are out of work at the Pentagon by week's end. IDGAF if they disagree. So be it. But to go rogue deep state and piss and moan to a reporter because the SecDef disagreed with your assessment in a clear attempt to undermine him and his authority? F*** all the way off!

Connecting a few dots: Socialist Zohran Mamdani, Democrat New York mayoral candidate, has said New York needs to tax whiter neighborhoods. Let's just stipulate to the evil of that and leave the racism and race card he's playing there aside. This guy is the same guy who used misleading racial identity on his college application. Hmmm. Perhaps Mamdani was just trying to set the stage so when elected he could save money on taxes?

Arriverderci Facebook - 6/20/2025

Bye bye, Facebook, at least for a while this summer. After that, who knows?

I deactivated my Facebook account Tuesday. I will make the explanation as short and to the point as possible. Here goes.

1) Because I've lost too many friends because I expressed my political point of view on there. People I used to care about have extricated themselves from my life. I mourn their departure, but at the same time have a sense that it's good riddance. I care about my country and my countrymen, so because my opinion differs from theirs, they've abandoned me. In a very small number of cases, it is I who abandoned them, but in each specific instance, it was their arrogance and insult that inspired me to sever our Facebook connection. I was stupid, uneducated, a racist, etc. If that's what they think of me, I don't need them in my life, anyway.

2) As the situation in our country continues to evolve, devolve is probably more like it, I find myself becoming intolerant of dissenting voices even absent of insult. The insults are still there, mind you, but no longer a prerequisite to my intolerance. At the same time I find continuing to express myself futile and counterproductive. I just do. More than anything, though, as much as people's intolerance toward me and my views as I described in the preceding paragraph has hurt me, those feelings serve to makes me uncomfortable with my own, similar feelings toward others. It just ain't worth it.

I decided to sit Facebook out for a while. I'll reassess later this summer. We'll see. For now, I'll concentrate on family, taking care of stuff at home, reading lots of books, and continuing my Italian Lessons. 

Arriverderci Facebook. 

The "No Kings" Assassin, a Turning Point for Me - 6/15/2025

The "No Kings" Assassin is a Tim Walz political appointee in Minnesota.

You read that right. The "No Kings" assassin is a Tim Walz political appointee. I've seen attempts to turn him into a Trump supporter or MAGA dude, but he's not.

Before I ramble on, my condolences to the family of Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, and wishing a full recovery to Senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, who were also shot by the No Kings assassin. We should not overlook the tragedy the No Kings assassin has brought to the lives of the Hortman's and Hoffman's family and friends.

Vance Luther Boelter is the "No Kings" assassin. His motive remains unclear. My hunch, just a hunch, is that he was involved in some kind of corruption and was at risk of being caught. I read this morning that his wife and two family members were stopped by police in Minnesota with money, passports, and guns, likely making a run for it to Canada. Was she in on something? Who knows? But running off to Canada sure don't seem all innocent and pure like windblown snow kinda stuff to do.

I find it ironic that on a day when an assassin with No Kings flyers in his vehicle kills a politician and her husband, and attempts same with another, that liberals across America, in the same No Kings protests against Trump, carried guillotine posters, severed Trump heads, posted posters with the President of the United States and Vice President of the United States in the crosshairs, and carried abundant 86 47 signs, which at this point can't be denied: are all allusions to assassinating the President and now the Vice President. By the way, Tim Walz, who appointed the No Kings assassin, has called publicly for bullying Trump and Trump supporters like me. Condemnations from my so-called friends on the left? Crickets.

Yesterday was a bit of a turning point for me, on a personal level. I have pretended that my friends from the left, I should say former friends, thinking about the ones who have abandoned me and our friendship, are decent, good people who simply disagree. I have deluded myself into thinking we are still friends. I am sad to report, I have given up that thinking. Some will notice I am giving up on them and may act like it's me, but with very few exceptions, they have cut me off and out of their lives long ago, probably with spoken or unspoken "good riddance."

I am done with people who hate Trump more than they love or like me. I am done with people who hate Trump more than they love our country, our flag, and our Army. I am done with people stupid enough to continue to think that the New York Times, Washington Post, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and the rest of the leftist establishment propagandist media are impartial deliverers of fair and unbiased content. I am especially done with people who drink in their "facts" from these sources who think I'm the one with a closed mind. And, more than anything, I am sick and tired of far-leftists who pretend to be moderate and reasonable. One of the worst symptoms of Trump Derangement Syndrome is the afflicted not recognizing that indeed they have it.

I do NOT think Donald Trump is perfect. Far from it. I do not think Trump has pitched a perfect game since his return to office. Far from it. But I will be goddamned if I'm going to sign on to the leftist, socialist, social justice insanity that the left poses as an alternative.

A reprise from earlier in this piece, but I want to say it directly and clearly: If you have cut me out of your life because of my politics, go fuck yourself. You were a phony friend and you are an asshole. Be out of my life. You are gone from it by your own choice, so stay gone from it. It is as you wish. Live your own life of media leftist propagandized lies and delusion. I will be just fine without having you in mine. 

20,000,000 or More is a Problem. My Proposal - 6/12/2025

20 Million or more illegal aliens is a problem. For starters, IDGAF if the protesters or illegal immigrants are black, brown, yellow, red, or white. I have no problem with diversity. If you think that my opinion on immigration is shaped by some innate or inherent racism, I will never convince you otherwise. So, fuck it, think whatever you want.

I vehemently oppose all the nonsense going on to oppose ICE. Democrats have screwed the country with immigration insanity, especially since Trump took office the first time. But, finger-pointing and blame aside, I'm here today to propose a solution to the problem. If you don't think there's a problem, stop reading here and now. You're too indoctrinated and biased or too plain stupid to gain even a morsel of understanding, so please, stop reading here.

1) A Constitutional Amendment that eliminates all illegal aliens from being counted in the U.S. Census. This means congressional and electoral apportionment are calculated ONLY on the basis of the number of legal residents, whether legal alien or U.S. Citizen.

2) The same Constitutional Amendment to restrict or repeal aspects of birthright citizenship to children born to a parent or parents either are U.S. citizens, or who have PERMANENT LEGAL residence in the USA. This would exclude children of either illegal aliens or persons here on temporary work or tourism visas.

3) The so-called Big Beautiful Bill will tax remittances by 3.5%. This is not high enough. A remittance tax of 15% is good. 20% is even better. How about 3.5% remittance tax for foreigners who can show they have legal status in our country, and 20% for anyone who can't show same?

4) Illegal aliens who commit ANY additional violent crime or other serious crimes, after the misdemeanor of entering the country illegally or overstaying a visa or work permit, to be deported expeditiously. This would be incorporated into the same Constitutional Amendment.

5) Background checks on all immigrants processed for ANY crime after arrival here. Expeditious deportation if found to have committed serious crimes in their home country before immigrating here.

6) Illegal aliens here now to be afforded 3 options only:

a) Immigrants who declare themselves present with the desire to remain in the U.S. permanently, who chose NOT to return to their native country to apply for LEGAL residence, can be awarded a permanent work permit, if a background check shows they have NOT participated in criminal activity once here. These individuals will NEVER be eligible for citizenship, but their children would be under birthright. Commission of crimes here in the U.S. would be cause for automatic revocation of legal residency status. 

b*) Immigrants who declare themselves present with the desire to live in the U.S. permanently, but who are willing to return to their native country to start a legal immigration process. (I know our legal immigration program is broken badly. We need to fix it.) These immigrants will be eligible to apply for citizenship in accordance with existing U.S. law after they are granted permission to return and subsequently returned if they are cleared in a criminal background check and can show they have or will have gainful employment upon return to the U.S.A. In light of their willingness to go back and do things the right way, some form of financial aid to assist their departure, and expedited handling and processing of their return authorization.

Immigrants with proof of gainful employment here in the U.S. may receive this same authorization from the consulate of their home nation here in the U.S. A. This would require their employer to "sponsor" the immigrant and to pay a reasonable but significant fee that would offset the cost of expedited immigration processing, and entail a criminal background check.

*this paragraph updated 6/13/2025. 

c) Immigrants who hide out in the U.S. and continue to reside here illegally, but do NOT declare under "a" or "b", above. These persons will be exempted from obtaining any benefits or assistance, subject to swift deportation upon discovery and apprehension, and permanently barred from returning to the U.S. or seeking U.S. citizenship. Their children would NOT be eligible for birthright citizenship under the Constitutional Amendment I envision.

Employers found to be knowingly employing immigrants in category "c", preceding paragraph, will pay exorbitant fines for the employment violation of hiring these people, to be codified into law. Perhaps a fine at one level if the company has <20 employees, higher if they employ from 20-200 illegals, higher still for 201-1,000, and for employers with >1,000 illegal immigrants in category "c", the highest fines, something extremely high, like 25% of total revenues.

Immigration is a turd. Nobody wants to clean it up, because there's no clean end to pick it up from. There is no solution that will please everyone. If my proposal doesn't please you, I'm sorry about your luck. I most assuredly haven't seen YOUR proposal.

670 Presidents - The Judicial Coup in Defiance of Democracy - 5/29/2025

I'm going to make this short and sweet today.

The so-called democracy savers from the left are defying the democratically expressed will of the American people every day. Some of you are so blinded by your Trump Derangement Syndrome, aka TDS<  that you can't see it. I recognize I can't cure your blindness.

670+ Federal District Court Judges were never meant to control the Administrative Branch, but well disbursed leftist judges, and activists bringing lawsuits have effectively executed a bloodless coup d'etat, wrestling power from the people in favor of leftist special interests, but more importantly, in defiance of the President (all the TDS sufferers holler 'Hooray!') and the will of the people. It's disgusting, there's no other way to describe it. I remember at one point a couple of months ago, I read that the ACLU had 94 different lawsuits all challenging Trump Administration deportations ready to file in all of our District Courts. Why 94 and why in every District Court? To find one leftist piece of shit activist judge to issue an injunction, usurping the President's constitutionally based broad authority with regard to immigration.

Activist shadow-President Boasberg.

I've had it. I mean it. That's why I'm so rarely writing here. Let me close with a couple of quick hitters:

First, our Universities have become anti-American leftist indoctrination camps and leftist centers of power. By way of clarification, what I'm getting at is "fuck Harvard" and all the rest. I don't bend my knee to them, none of them. If the intellectual elitist snobs at Ivy league and so-called elite institutions of learning want to think me beneath them, so be it. Tell them I said to go fuck themselves.

Second, I applaud Elon Musk and his efforts at DOGE. If nothing else, he did expose the depth of the graft, greed, corruption, ineptitude, and waste, as well as the connection, by way of that greed, to our Congressmen and Senators.

Lastly, I'll finish where I started: to all the people who know the media lied about Trump/Russia collusion, COVID vaccine efficacy, the Hunter Biden laptop's authenticity, Joe Biden's cognitive impairment, among other things, but who still go to the same sources of news and information who put forth all those lies and more, you quite likely have Trump Derangement Syndrome. I know, I know... you're too stupid, too opposed to Trump, too gullible, and too far down the path to change up now. That's primarily your problem. Seek help. If nothing else, change the fucking channel. Find a different newspaper. Get a new therapist, hopeful NOT one who also has TDS, because you need help.

Biden Cancer - 5/19/2025

Joe Biden prostate cancer was kept hidden from the American people during his term as President.

As I did last night on my Facebook page, I wish Joe Biden a full recovery from his prostate cancer. That's it. That's as far as the cancer recovery and treatment part of this issue goes for me. Got it?

Joe is still the beneficiary of a deep state, Democrat, and media conspiracy to get him elected in 2020. Everything, including the kitchen sink, was done to ensure Trump wasn't re-elected. I'll mention a laptop which WASN'T Russian disinformation and stop there.

Remember when Joe went full Hitler in Philadelphia? I do.

Joe is still the son of a bitch who vilified me and many, many like me with his evil Nazi-like speech in Philadelphia. Fuck that Joe Biden. Capish?

Joe is still the guy who had debilitating dementia throughout his presidency, an ever worsening problem that calls into question the integrity of his staff, nearly every fucking lying propaganda spewing journalist in our country, his Vice President, and most of all his wife. These people hid his condition in the interest of keeping him in office, all the while with unelected, anonymous, nameless, faceless activists doing work up to and including signing documents in his name.

Turns out Joe had cancer, too. This, in a country that operates within some norms and boundaries, is information that is ALWAYS put before the American public. But, no. Not only hiding the dementia, these corrupt pieces of shit in the "so called" Biden Administration, felt they needn't share this important health information with us. "But they only found out last Friday." The fuck they did. And you know damned well it's a lie, too. So while I'm at it, fuck you, too.

These people wielded presidential authority in the name of an incapacitated man, no doubt in my mind at all, and they acted in violation of the U.S. Constitution by using technology to sign documents in his stead, Biden being too far gone congnitively to do so on his own.

"But, Matt... show some compassion, Joe has cancer!" No. I am NOT overlooking all that went on. If people without authority criminally exercised presidential authority, I want them arrested, perp walked, tried, and if convicted, given the absolute maximum, harshest sentences possible. Now, I know that's not even remotely possible in deep blue Democrat activist Washington D.C., but that's what I want. And since I know a conviction isn't possible, I hope Pam Bondi and Kash Patel will make the process a penalty.

I do hope he recovers from the cancer, though.

A New Pope and a Bit of Other Stuff - 5/10/2025

There's a new Pope. An America from Chicago, Robert Francis Prevost, a Cardinal who was presiding in Peru prior to his election, has succeeded Pope Francis and is taking on the Papal Name: Pope Leo XIV, or, commonly, Leo the 14th.

Pope Leo XIV

A few thoughts on Pope Leo and Popes, in general. First, I really don't give a shit that you disagree with Catholics having a Pope. One point five billion Catholics can't operate without a leader. I understand your theological objections. I disagree with you. I also understand that there is nothing you're going to present to me that will convince me the Pope is some kind of blasphemous or sacrilegious office. At the same time, nothing I say will convince you otherwise, I'm willing to risk eternal damnation by believing that my Church having a Pope doesn't put my salvation in jeopardy. So, how about this: move on. It ain't worth it.

Second: I don't care that the Pope is a flaming Chicago liberal. He's not my President, Senator, Congressman, State Rep, Sheriff, or even County Dog Catcher. His job is to look after the faith and activities of the Catholic Church. His stance on abortion, migration/immigration, the death penalty, or any other issue is in the best interest of a church, and humanity. I take his opinion to be important and informative. When it comes to my country, each and any of the 133 Cardinals who voted for Pope Leo who happens to be an American citizen gets a vote here, too. One vote. Same as mine. I expect the people we elect in our government to put the best interests of my country and our people ahead of those of the church and or humanity/mankind. So Pope Leo is a liberal. God bless him. It's ok with me.

This meme didn't hurt my feelings or insult me. It is, nonetheless and in my opinion, truly and fully asinine.

I am not going to go point by point and item by item assessing Trump's performance so far. I will say this, which is something I said to a Trump hating friend earlier this week: Every third thing he says is asinine. The Trump/Pope meme is just a recent example. But, and this is important: despite all the unforced errors, nothing, not close, not within 3000 miles, has made me for a second think Joe Biden or Kamala Harris would have been a better choice.

And while here I am criticizing Trump, let me make clear, the Democrats are worse. They were yesterday, They are today. They will be tomorrow. If Democrats want to come back from approval ratings in the 20's, they/you better start moving toward the middle. Democrats rarely, perhaps never take a stance on the issues important to me that I agree with. Ever.

I hope Letitia James winds up bankrupted and in jail for a long, long time.

We do not elect Popes to be President. Neither do we elect U. S. District Court Judges, but U.S. District Court Judges do seem to have staged a silent coup to usurp Presidential power in favor of the judiciary. Judge Boasberg is NOT my President. He's just acting like he thinks he is.

To close today, something I have come to truly believe, and I believe it is true whether you are on the right or on the left, is that your stance on the issues is far, far, far more a byproduct of your choice of news sources than anything else. Our echo chambers are seductive, too seductive. We willingly and willfully get only half the information, the half we want to hear, and we completely disregard other contrary information. We are the political equivalent of an opposing pair of "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil monkeys." Yep, the news we watch is making a monkey out of is. If you're reading this, it includes you.

Happy Mother's Day.

Hiatus, Yea or Nay? - 4/16/2025

Well hello there friends. Just a short note this a.m. in the way of an update. I'm back from our great vacation. I'm toying with the idea of staying on hiatus or not, possibly returning to blogging here about the insanity. Honestly, I'm not sure. I had thought the hiatus would have me chill out a bit over what's going on in our country, but I find myself angrier than I have ever been before in my life over what's going on in D.C.

As I have said a good number of times, for starters, I do NOT think Trump is pitching a perfect game. That being said, nothing, not close, not by a mile, not by an Elon Musk Mars mission, has me thinking the fucking insane, evil, anti-democratic, unhinged left would have been a better choice. Neither do I think some other Republican without the balls or will to fight the fucking insane, evil, anti-democratic, unhinged left would have been a better choice.

I am watching as the lawfare has blossomed into an encompassing political strategy. Am I sure every one of Trump's initiatives can withstand legal scrutiny? No idea. What I do know is the shit the left is fighting for is completely foreign and unacceptable to me and a lot of like minded voters.

I don't want an unaccountable 4th branch of government shaping the world into a leftist Nirvana by handing out taxpayer money to study how lesbian bees in Argentina differ from lesbian bees in Europe during brief cold spells during a full moon. I'm sure the three radical leftist lesbians who are getting the money would be kicking back mightily to Democrat pols and PACs, all the happy lefties getting rich together, but I don't think this is how it's supposed to work. I'm also sure the smaller group of more conservative lesbians, think Tammy Bruce, they won't be getting shit. See, this is a money grab and political power grab. (The lesbian bee thing is tongue in cheek, dumbass, but it's only 1/8" off from some of the other USAID insanity, and you know I'm right.)

The people fighting against Trump Administration efforts to find fraud, waste, and abuse? They're the ones committing the fraud, wasting the waste, and abusing the system. You'll have a hard time convincing me otherwise. Help me understand people over 115 getting SBA loans, please. And while I'm here, persons terrorizing Tesla owners and dealerships need to do hard time. I wish a whole hell of a lot worse on them, believe me, busted kneecaps and heads, stuff like that, but hard time will have to be good enough.

I don't want the same fucking liars and crooks who said Biden couldn't manage the border short of legislation, who were trying at the same time to codify into permanent law via legislation the insane unacceptable immigration policies that got Trump elected, thus allowing 10 or so million in illegally or with the wave of Biden's magic wand now fighting tooth and nail to thwart every single deportation effort in every court in the land. You want "due process". Fuck you. I'm reminded of a cliche: if you owe the bank $10,000 and you can't pay it back, you're in trouble. But if you owe the bank $10 million and you can't pay it, the banker is in trouble. Well, if we had 1 million people here illegally, it's a problem, but a manageable problem. When you have maybe 25,000,000 people here illegally, and you have to adjudicate each and every deportation on a case by case and due process basis, you're fucked. There's no easier way to say it. Who fucked us with this problem? We all know damned well who it was.

Furthermore, who in the fuck fights to keep Venezuelan murderous rapist and gang members here? Who in the fuck fights to return criminal Salvadoran gang members here from their home country? Who in the fuck fights to keep radical, anti-American, green card holding students who shut down universities in support of murderous, rapist, hostage holding Hamas here? Spoiler: it is evil, victim hating, U.S. A. hating, satanic, mindless, Trump deranged leftist Democrats, that's who.

Our founders didn't predicate Presidential power on the approval of any of 677 Federal District Court judges. Immigration and foreign policy are the distinct responsibility of the Executive Branch of our government, under the authority of the Chief Executive and President of the United States. But here we are.

"Ms. Orange Man Bad" might have to change her name to "Ms. Orange Jump Suit".

Oh, Letitia James. Ain't that rich. The fucking Trump-deranged leftist piece of shit legal warrior lied on her mortgage application, allegedly calling a state she isn't allowed to live in while in her job as NYAG her permanent residence AND calling her father her husband on a mortgage application. Bankrupt her fucking leftist ass and lock her up with no key. It couldn't happen to a nicer bitch.

For what it's worth, I hope you dumbasses run AOC atop the ticket in 2028. Go for it. Really. Please. She's exactly what you need. I promise. I may even donate to her campaign. I want her to be your nominee that badly. I may register as a Democrat in 2028 to vote for her in the Primary here in FL. I'm serious as a heart attack.

Yeah, maybe I'm not quite ready to come back. What do you think: Hiatus, yea or nay?
