Things are changing so fast we can’t keep up with them all. On the matter of South Africa, my go-to has been an account on X, @ConCaracal. He’s a South African who has been grinding away trying to reform the increasingly racist South African government. Over the past few years, especially, the South African government has become increasingly strident in its hatred of whites. There are now more race-based laws on the books than under Apartheid. This shows that the primary complaint the ANC really had with Apartheid is that they didn’t have that power for themselves. It has been a fairly bleak battle for white South Africans and, indeed, South Africa recently enacted an entirely unconstitutional law to confiscate white-owned farms without compensation. This is the path Zimbabwe went down and so we all knew where it was going. And then, Trump.
Did you ever imagine you’d see the day that the American Secretary of State would call out Third World racism? We’re not supposed to mention this, guys. Remember, we’re the bad guys and we have to allow tin pot Third World tyrants do whatever they want. This was a gigantic earthquake in foreign affairs…and while it has caused little notice in the USA, it has been noticed in South Africa – as Conscious Caracal said:
The key take away here is the same for everything – we didn’t have to do what we were doing. All this time we’ve been bending the knee to Third World tyrant-thieves and we could have just called them out on it. Now, this doesn’t solve South Africa’s problem – the country is in horrid shape and the ANC does need it’s enemy (white people) to justify continued power. Its not like they can stop stealing from the Treasury, right? Keep in mind that the whole farm confiscation thing is absurd – the government of South Africa is the largest landowner in South Africa…if they want to pass out land to black farmers, they’ve got millions of acres to spare. But that doesn’t generate race-hatred. But pressure from the Trump Administration will be crucial in the fight to turn South Africa into a rule of law nation.
And on and on and on like that. We’ve been essentially destroying ourselves for decades, internally and externally, in service of some mythic belief that the US is the bad guy. That white people are the bad guy. That Christians (and, recently, Jews) are the bad guy. That the very creation of our nation is an unforgivable sin. And now it just stops…because we’ve got a President who doesn’t want to play that game. And it is glorious.
Blogs For Victory 
I assume it was some sort of ridiculous Resist drivel picked up from Politico Pro.
I read your comment before it was deleted (and no, I did not delete it). Your chief complaint, I think, was that Mark condemned “Czar” positions a while back, ie. Elon Musk, and you were essentially calling Mark a hypocrite. Musk is NOT a Czar, he heads up a department that was actually created by Barak Obama to deal with the mess that his administration had made of the ObamaCare website, IIRC. Trump dusted off the department and renamed it DOGE. Now go find another blog where they think your opinions matter, because there’s no one here who gives a shit about what you think.
Oh, that was it? A “how dare you?!” comment. That is, how dare I use the Left’s rules against the Left?
We warned the Left about this. We said again and again and again that if you go outside the normal process per the US Constitution, bad things would happen…well, guess what? They’re happening. They’re now just happening to you.
I am fully willing to go back to the old rules – but first we have to punish to make sure the Left understands why we have rules.
I suggest every Leftist read Chesterton’s The Parable of the Fence.
It really IS like a horrible storm is finally over, the sun has come out, and there’s a brilliant rainbow from horizon to horizon. I can’t imagine anyone except the most dyed-in-the-wool Leftist zealot not being happy with the direction of the country.
And now maybe we can reclaim rainbows for what they are, not just symbols of mental disorders.
Gonna reclaim everything!
The Democrats managed to get a federal judge to order the fired workers back into the office – and ordered that the Secretary and the President can’t communicate with federal government staff. A completely ridiculous ruling – and Democrats are shooting themselves in the foot here. Remember, Roe was overturned because Democrats fought reasonable restrictions on abortion that were allowed even under Roe. It became the case to overturn…these lawsuits against Trump firing people will get a Supreme Court ruling that, indeed, the Chief Executive is the Chief Executive and that everyone in the Executive branch is subordinate to the President. That will be the bureaucratic bloodbath.
I thought Roe was overturned because it violated the 10th Amendment. They didn’t say that, but that is what it came down to. Though the fact that a ruling was made necessary was probably due to the overreach you cite. And I agree that the Left (I don’t even refer to them as Democrats any more) is being self-destructive in (1) making sure that the arguments supporting the actions get lots of press by having fits about them, and (2) pushing to make SCOTUS rulings necessary. Look at the attention the DOGE efforts have gotten, far more than if they had just been put in place and maybe a few conservative sites commented on them.
In his article this morning about the Left stepping on rakes all over the place Jeff Childers has a phrase that is similar to what you are saying: “Second, Trump has reset the negotiating table in his favor. Whether or not he actually intends to follow through with any of these controversial ideas, the mere discussion forces his opponents to negotiate on his terms” BTW, the article about the Left stepping on rakes reminded me of my favorite episode of “My Name Is Earl”—In the surreal sitcom My Name Is Earl, Earl (our hero) is at one point confronted with a series of challenges that he must complete to rescue Catalina, his brother’s true love. One of the more painful trials is that he must run through the Field of Rakes, blindfolded. The rakes are positioned tines up, so that each mis-step results in Earl getting smacked in the face with a rake.
They may have a secret agenda of doing this to get as many “controversial” SCOTUS rulings as possible, to support their attacks on the Court, but I don’t think that would be a very smart move.
The order about the Treasury is probably the worst mistake the Democrats have made – they got a far Left judge to issue a ruling so obviously unconstitutional that I’ve seen serious legal scholars argue that Trump should ignore it. You can’t tell the President he can’t see where the money is going! It is just ridiculous. Roberts better find a pair quick and strike it down – because if it goes on long enough we’re going to see that there is no actual mechanism to enforce a Judicial decision if the Executive doesn’t want to. We saw a bit of it in Team Biden ignoring the rulings on student loans but this would put it on steroids…it would force the Executive to ignore the Judiciary. We can’t have a functioning Executive if the Judiciary can give orders to the Executive. The Judges seem to have forgotten that the Judiciary is the weakest branch and it requires the assistance of the Executive every step of the way.
To give an idea of how absurd this is – it is like the Executive telling the Court what cases to hear and when. That would be an outrageous interference by the Executive in the Judicial function. So, too, a judge deciding what the Executive branch must do internally. Long term, the best news here is that as people find out how hard it is to fire federal workers, it will build support for terminating public sector unions and the various civil service rules preventing termination.
Side note: the Power of the Purse doesn’t just restrain the Executive…it also restrains the Judicial. While it is Unconstitutional to cut Justice pay while they hold their seats, every other penny is appropriated by Congress and it can be terminated. The Democrats were working towards forcing the Judiciary to accept an ethics council of some type via this mechanism…but we can use it, as well. How about you Justices do your job when the budget for law clerks has been zeroed out? I don’t want us to have to go there – but the Judiciary, led by Roberts, must stop this nonsense of Leftwing venue shopping to find a Maoist who will rule in the Left’s favor regardless of law.
The order about the Treasury is probably the worst mistake the Democrats have made – they got a far Left judge to issue a ruling so obviously unconstitutional that I’ve seen serious legal scholars argue that Trump should ignore it.
I hate to think that that’s where we’re at as a country, but what other recourse is there besides impeachment of the judge? In a just world, that judge should lose his job, his benefits, and his pension.
Well, there is my tired old complaint that the oath of office for all officials, judges included, should be legally binding, acting as de facto employment contracts. That is, if an oath is to obey and enforce the law and uphold the Constitution, a violation would simply result in losing the office and its attendant benefits.
As it is now, a judge can flout the Constitution knowing that even if his partisan ruling is later overturned it will only undo it and not affect him personally. He might have a little blip on his record, soon forgotten, and he is still free to go on shoving sticks through the spokes of the wheels of any administration he doesn’t like.
Think of the effect of such a law on sanctuary cities and states. This is the perfect time for Congress to enact such a law.
In response to a “when did you figure it out?” post on X, I found this, by me, from February 15th, 2015…this was, of course, a few months before Trump came down the escalator:
Called it! And the good news is that we did sustain the truth-teller!
Report: Apple Ordered to Provide Gov’t Access to ALL User Data on the Cloud
The Post reported that Apple is likely to stop offering encrypted storage in the UK.
“Yet that concession would not fulfill the U.K. demand for backdoor access to the service in other countries, including the United States,” the newspaper added.
Western countries, including the U.S., have been pushing for total access to online user data for years.
In March 2021, for example, former FBI Director Chris Wray told the Senate Judiciary Committee that encryption was stifling his agents from investigating domestic extremism. (Which according to Wray includes entities like the Catholic Church).
How to turn a country into a tyranny 101. The UK is rapidly changing into a country that will be at total odds with the US.

From our own – Matt Margolis
Now We Know Who was Running the Country for Joe Biden
Li alleges that, following Biden’s disastrous debate drubbing, Hunter essentially took over White House operations.
Anyone actually watching the signs knew sleepy Joe wasn’t running things, he couldn’t. Not sure how much of the truth will be exposed or what the ramification will be, but given the obvious mental decline and associated realizations, it makes me wonder just how much of former president’s executive actions will be allowed to stand. I’m guessing it will be put before the courts if taken that far.

We’re now privy to some of what USAID spends OUR money on. Here’s some more enlightenment on the US Treasury Dept. spending.
Congress illegally spent at least $516 billion in 2024 on programs for which there was no authorization. Yes, billion, with a “b.” A stunning report by the Congressional Budget Office underscores the reason for the legal assault upon President Trump’s right to audit payments by the Treasury Department.
Making this all the more intriguing is that it would seem that the President could stop those payments without worrying about violating the Impoundment Control Act as they are not legal appropriations by Congress’s rules.

Makes me wonder what we’ll find in other government departments and organizations, like the military. I’ve no doubt the waste goes way beyond $1,200 hammers and toilet seats. Musk initially suggested the target is 2 TRILLION Dollars but if they get 1 trillion it will have accomplished a lot. At this rate it wouldn’t surprise me if they found way more. How much do you think this will impact leftist organized crime? And once exposed, how many prosecutions will there be? My initial hope is to at least be a big enough impact to keep strip these criminals from power with strenuous enough sentences to deter repeating.
This is all the more reason to close various government departments & agencies, require far stricter oversight and demand spending bills be separated from other bloated thousand page bills and resolutions.
It’s not just what they spend their money on, but how so much of it seems to just “disappear”—especially when certain officials seem to become quite wealthy while working with USAID.
“X-USAID CHIEF SAMANTHA POWER’S NET WORTH SKYROCKETS—FROM $6.7M TO $30M ON A $180K SALARY
Samantha Power, Biden’s ex-USAID chief, saw her wealth explode while earning just $180K per year.
Where did the extra $23.3M come from? And all of this in just 3 years! USAID oversees”
I think, when all is said and done, we’re going to find out that many people got filthy rich by hitching their wagons to USAID, and people who were already filthy rich got obscenely wealthy. To say that USAID was the largest money laundering operation in the history of the world is not an exaggeration.
And that is why they are so vigorous in defense of it all – it is their meal ticket.
In other words, Musk is the general the Commander in Chief has dispatched to lead the battles on the two major fronts of the war to regain the Republic. One of these battles is to regain control of the treasury, and stop the funding of anti-American efforts by American dollars, and the other is to undermine the insidious control the Agenda Media have used so successfully to control the narrative, and by extension the minds, of so many Americans.
The U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is not a journalistic entity—it is a state-run propaganda machine, manipulating public perception while pretending to be an independent voice. What began as an effort to counter socialist propaganda during the Cold War has now metastasized into the world’s largest disseminator of socialist and anti-American narratives. The agency, which once defended American values, now actively undermines them, promoting ideologies that seek to erode national identity, sovereignty, and the foundational principles of freedom. USAGM has become a weapon wielded against the very citizens funding it, pushing globalist messaging while silencing dissent.
Here is a typical example of the “insidious” manipulation of perceptions and therefore the beliefs of Americans by the Complicit Agenda Media
A few weeks ago I vaguely remembered something about the word “doge” originally being a misspelling of the word “dog” and then taking on a life of its own, becoming associated with a Shiba Inu dog and then a cryptocurrency, and now the unofficial title of a powerful federal agency (or sub-agency) so I did a quick search on the history of the word and its evolution.

I am tickled and even fascinated by the quirkiness of the man who is also an acknowledged genius on so many levels but who openly enjoys himself. He not only named what is turning out to be the most powerful agency (or sub-agency) in the country, with its astounding long-term effects on the very structure of the governance of the nation, on a long-standing inside joke that became a silly meme, he made a decision on the structure of his rockets on a similar lighthearted basis.
He, and Trump, and Vance, and hopefully an increasing number of people with great responsibility, are showing us by example that it is possible to be quite serious and quite effective and still be human and funny and relatable.
Chief Gray Beaver speaks in big pow-wow
THIS SHOULD BE THE RESPONSE TO EVERY SINGLE WHINE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED ON JANUARY 6
This is how to deal with performative Leftist hysteria and meltdowns in Congress:
Not sure where this would go—under the massive scam of taxpayers paying an agency to attack America around the world (“Internet News Network” or “IN”) or the general category of just approving funding without review, but here it is:
USAID (and State) funneled nearly half a billion dollars through this building which is at “876 7th St Arcata, CA 95521-6358”. The IRS and IN government contracts list this address as the current registered address for IN although it was clearly abandoned by December 2024. Shot taken four months ago.
I’ve posted a lot of stuff this morning in my Sunday-morning catch-up routine, but if I could I would replace it all with the two videos in this absolutely essential piece by Dr. Robert Malone. Both are riveting, both are crucial to understanding what has been because we are burdened by what has come before, and what will be thanks to brilliant planning and execution of strategies and technology we could never dream of and probably never really understand.
I have been saying for months that I hoped Trump was putting together a kick-ass team that could hit the ground running minutes after his inauguration, but this exceeds even my most vivid wishful-thinking fantasies. Seriously, you need to take some time before the big game to watch every minute of these videos.
If you have to choose, start with the second. As it says, “The Administrative State runs on two things; control of information, and money flow”. What DOGE is doing is understanding the influence of money flow on information, and addressing the money flow, which is already having an impact on the information pipeline dependent on funding from, by or through government agencies.
You beat me to it. All through the second video I found myself pumping my fist and shouting YEEESSSS! This next 4 years is going to require several freight cars of popcorn.
We’re going to need more emotional support dogs. If we can just stop the federal funding of animal torture, there will be a lot of them available.
