Let me tell you, I got myself in a real jam on Book X of the Mirrors series. It is the final entry in the series (with possible story lines for later books if I want to return to it, but this concludes the main story line). You see, I had James, George, Antaria and Sophia in one group; Matt, Javier, Corran, Johnny and Tania in another; Fred, Tancheri, Aleste, Alyssa, Rodlan, Cronon and Thomas in a third group while back home in Samaton were Celeste, Rossalyn, Bryce and Stanley. And all of these people needed to get to one place where the Bad Guys (Rajan, Usha and Kazanti) were going to be while also bringing in the Queen of Azarad and her people, some True Antaki, some False Antaki and, of course, a gigantic host of Shadow Warriors. Last night I finally figured out the Narrative to do this – the sequence of events and who says and does what…because this is IT, as it were. Still got a lot of writing to do but at least I now know how it goes.
So, that was my New Years Eve! Hope yours was nice!
I woke up to the news of the attack in New Orleans – still light on details but given that we can assume the perp is a Protected Person…had he been a white MAGA guy we’d already know about his childhood friends. Of course the MSM is the MSM – they are reporting it as a vehicle crashed…this is just a lie to obscure the truth. One again, I’ll yammer on about it: you can’t hold that lies are protected speech. Something has to be done about it.
Better news is that Trump is back in 19 days. We’ll at least have a government that tries to give a darn about us. Temper your expectations! There is just so much Trump can do and the Democrats plus RINOs will continue to try and stop him. I personally think he’ll do a lot – I feel more confident than any time since the aftermath of the 1980 election. But there is a lot of work to do against a mountain of lies and corruption. It’ll take some effort, there will be some fails and at times it will seem to be too much. Faith and courage!

Things should go pretty smooth. Having both houses of congress in his favor will go a long way. He shouldn’t have to use much executive authority.
Happy New Year to all my friends at B4V. Hard to believe we’re a quarter of the way through the 21st century. I was apprehensive in January, 2017, when Trump took office the first time. I had high hopes, but also deep concerns about whether he would or could fulfil his promises. This time around I’m more optimistic. I could be completely off base on this, but my sense is that his opposition is pretty deflated at this point, unlike 8 years ago when stopping him “by any means necessary” was their battle cry. Not saying there won’t be opposition, but I think the lawfare might be turned around on that opposition now that Democrats have established the ROE.
There will be opposition as long as oppositional personalities exist but the opposition I am seeing from the Left right now seems rote, as if they know they are supposed to put on a show of opposition but their hearts aren’t really in it. America just told the Left “we’re just not really into you” and it stings.
And just look at the silly crap they are throwing out there in pretense of putting up a fight. They are going to block certification, after four years of telling us that any effort to block certification is treason and an existential threat to democracy and worse than Pearl Harbor and 9/11 combined?
I think it’s kind of like what will happen when the kids who got such good grades and all those participation trophies get out into the real world and have to deal with kids who actually earned their grades, actually did compete and actually did win.
The attack in New Orleans and whatever the heck that was at Trump Tower, Vegas will, I believe, speed through Trump’s AG, SecDef, SecState, Homeland Security and FBI nominees. Nobody wants to be the guy who delays the national security picks and then have something worse than New Orleans blow up in their faces. This will greatly help Trump get early control of the beast.
As for these incidents – it works like this:
Lies get told.
MSM, bureaucrats, elected officials, corporate and social leaders repeat the lies as if they’re true.
Millions of people believe the lies.
Some of those believers are insane.
The guys who tried to assassinate Trump, the New Orleans lunatic…the guy with the Cybertruck at Trump Tower all have in common an apparent belief that Trump is Worse Than Hitler. You and I know its all drivel…but these crazies sincerely believe it (and in this our atrocious education system is to blame – they aren’t taught actual history nor anything remotely like critical thinking skills). But this is the problem when we allow lies to go unpunished. I know – I must be getting boring about it…but it is so crucial.
Now, here’s the thing that I found absolutely astounding about New Orleans – apparently, they did have security barriers for when that area gets closed off for major parties. New Orleans being famed for both their New Years Eve and Mardi Gras events. These events happen…on the regular. You know: no mystery of the date (ok, granted, Mardi Gras moves around a bit but not that much and just call the local Diocese and they’ll clue you in on when Tuesday before Ash Wednesday is). There seems to be a little confusion as to whether the barriers weren’t raised or had recently been removed for repairs/replacement.
To give some perspective, on December 31st every year the Strip has 100,000+ happy, drunken partiers wandering around. It is closed to traffic. Metro (which is simply superb at crowd control) closes off the Strip north to south and then east to west blocks off automobile access for some distance in both directions. This is to make sure neither a drunken fool nor a lunatic terrorist can drive into the crowd. As noted, Metro knows how to do this…they do it every year for multiple major events. It isn’t rocket science. If someone were to tell Metro, “hey, don’t bother with the barricades”…don’t you think that would raise an eyebrow or two?
Whether or not the New Orleans barriers simply weren’t raised or weren’t there it wasn’t like New Years Eve sneaked up on them…they knew that they would have tens of thousands of happy drunks. It happens every year. Clockwork. Who ordered the barriers to not be there? Someone did. And who in the police department said, “hey, sure, we’ve had situations in the USA and around the world of lunatics driving into holiday crowds but its totally cool to leave our people open to such”? That, to me, is the central thing to investigate – I don’t really care about the driver. He’s was just some weak-minded fool. But I do want to know who radicalized him and who made sure that his attack would be a success. In that, I think, we’ll find our real problem.
To address your comments about the NOLA police department.
New Orleans Superintendent of Police Anne Kirkpatrick is ALSO an instructor for the FBI’s Leadership Training Program, where she instructs on “Bias and Diversity”. She’s the chief of New Orleans Police Dept and a DEI teacher. BTW, she was also fired from her position in Oakland and last year hit two pedestrians.
So she is not only hired as Superintendent of Police after being fired as Oakland’s police chief (accused of lying about a raid) but she is a DEI instructor for the FBI—which got to the killer’s home long after the media were already there.
I will never argue that a woman is not capable of being an excellent chief of police, but you have to wonder just how large a role DEI has played in her two recent job appointments.
I read an article where a few months back she accidentally hit a couple people with her car…like you, I’m sure there can be excellent female police…but this lady looks like she failed upwards her entire career.
Not to get too specific, but I wonder how many victimhood categories she can claim. As I said, “you have to wonder just how large a role DEI has played in her two recent job appointments.”
If only we had a competent investigative agency that could look into the driver’s history and figure out just WHERE he was “radicalized”. If it was the same neighborhood mosque where the imam is now instructing members to remain silent if questioned, that mosque should be shut down.
As has been pointed out, being “radicalized” in Islam really just means being a fundamentalist Muslim following the actual dictates of Mohammed. The truly “radicalized” Muslims are those who cherry-pick the feel-good parts of the Koran and overlook the harsh political basis of the “religion”, which is total world domination at any cost and destruction of all who do not believe.
“Whatever it was at Trump Tower” is a two-parter. One is that the cyber truck did not “burst into flames”. There was a series of explosions from powerful fireworks inside the truck and fire fed by gasoline inside the truck. As Musk pointed out, the telemetry from the truck showed no issues or problems, and the truck is so strong that the explosions were funneled upward, not outward, no doubt saving lives. The glass doors and windows close to the truck were not broken, and photos show the body of the truck essentially intact.
The other part is the question of whether the explosions were set off purposely or if for some reason the driver just had all that stuff in the truck with him and for some reason one of the fireworks went off, igniting everything else. Who knows? Maybe someone will decide to look into that.
Some stories now indicate the Trump Tower guy was former military like the New Orleans guy…and may have served on the same base. Meanwhile, other stories are saying that Trump Tower guy’s wife is an anti-Trump fanatic.
I’m sure the FBI is trying their best to hide details of both…but in 18 days, a new sheriff is in town…
I could see a situation where a guy thinks he can make some kind of statement against Trump and Musk at the same time by using a cyber truck to blow up the front of a Trump building and having it go very dramatically wrong. That is, less an act of terrorism and more just one of stupidity in political sense.
Now we’re getting more info about Cybertruck guy – now, his record could be fake but the record found so far indicates a very experienced special forces guy…which means if he wanted to blow something up, he had the skills to make it happen…a bit of gasoline and fireworks in the back isn’t going to make that big a boom. And shot dead apparently before detonation. This one is fishy as heck.
A comment on one of the articles on this is more related to the narrative trying to remove the human element—-a truck just happened to explode—just as a truck chose to run down a bunch of people.
No matter what the facts turn out to be, I think the one thing that cannot be denied is that both the Agenda Media and the federal agencies now lack any credibility.
I hate it when my Tesla fills itself with explosives, kidnaps me, and then shoots me in the head before exploding.
I HATE that.
