Looks like we found a large deposit of “rare Earth” minerals in Utah – showing that Bismarck’s phrase about there being a special providence for fools, drunkards and the United States of America remains true: just what we needed. China was definitely leveraging their control over the global supply against us. And this discovery is in a Red State, so no fuss about extraction (there are actually sizeable rare Earths in California but good luck trying to get them out of the ground).
The Doomsters – who I more and more consider merely bought by the DNC – continue to Doom but from my perspective, things are rapidly brightening. We’re looking at sold economic growth in 2026 combined with increased personal income – just the recipe for people getting in a good mood. Tariffs work. They’ve always worked. They always will work. They are the natural economic order for any trading nation. The two insanities are to allow no trade at all or no restrictions on trade. As in all human action, a balance must be struck. Trump is doing that.
Between deportations and self-deportations, about 2.5 million illegals have left the country since January. And do keep in mind that we’re still ramping up enforcement – the OBBB paid for hiring and new equipment, most of which won’t come on line until 2026. We’re just getting started. Any illegal with a lick of sense is going to self-deport ASAP. Because next year there will be plenty of people to catch them…and if you’re forcibly deported, you can’t come back while self-deportation means you still have a shot at it.
A Democrat in Congress called the shooting of two National Guardsman – one dead – an “unfortunate accident”. Internalize the fact that they hate you and want you dead. They might have smiles on their faces. Might talk in the most reasonable tones imaginable. But what every Leftist wants is your corpse at the base of a wall.

Democrats are running from one delusion after another trying to land on one that will stick … Epstein was a failure, the tyrant narrative is falling apart, the economy is steadily improving much to their chagrin, the deportation lies of kidnappings went nowhere, and their opposition to killing cartel members only makes them look like criminals themselves. Now, as Rocks has demonstrated, they want to talk about “Trump’s dementia” and see if this works. It’s a shame they don’t spend their time thinking of ways to improve the country for the millions of Americans they claim to like. Instead, they spend all their time spinning themselves up by trying to destroy Trump in any possible way. It is truly diabolical. Had they felt this concern about the Presidents dementia 4 years ago, this country would be much better off. These are not normal people, nor are they anyone we want to share a country with.
So the Left wants to revisit “Trump Dementia”? What is it this time? There was the time he was “diagnosed” with dementia because he used both hands to pick up a water glass, and then there was the time he was “diagnosed” with dementia for walking carefully down a slippery ramp. I can’t remember all the times he has been “diagnosed” with various things, often dementia–yet he still gives long off-the-cuff interviews, flies around the world to meet leaders and have serious conferences with decision-makers, is deeply involved in policies like reducing CAFE standards, and in general staying on top of the most demanding job in the world. (His long interview with Joe Rogan, where he covered the need for nuclear power to generate electricity and the reasons slowing its development here was really impressive, as only one example of his ability to think and communicate.)
The poor sad goofy Left, so frantic and so desperate to keep its Identity Politics schtick alive—but they have to, because that’s all they’ve got. They still can’t argue politics, because their politics are so stupid and so toxic they have to keep coming up with distractions to keep people from paying attention. They were so giddy about getting Mandami elected, only to have his election point spotlights at the defects of Leftist politics more dramatically than we could have. They thought that having some barking attack-dog types like Smallwell and Crockett would keep the energy pumped up, but they are such clowns that I think even the Left is rethinking the wisdom of being represented by them. I’d say Schumer has been totally emasculated, but that would be redundant. They rummage around in the bottom of the barrel for someone—anyone—to toss out with some supposedly scathing anti-Trump blather only to find out no one is paying attention. They even stooped low enough to savage Erika Kirk and try to drag her into a manufactured sex scandal involving JD Vance, which blew up in their faces.
I know they won’t quit. They never quit, because nothing is too vile or too stupid or too ridiculous to appeal to their shrinking base (sadly, it’s not shrinking because some of its members are getting smarter, it’s just because they don’t care either, leaving the yapping and snarling to the hard-core loonies) but it’s still funny to see another effort to resurrect the tired old “Trump dementia” theme.
More Dem delusions:
“What does it say about the Democrat hopefuls for 2028 that Kamala Harris, who failed spectacularly as a presidential candidate in 2024 and then quickly lost her initial name-recognition advantage in early polling for 2028, is now the object of an all-out Times effort to reverse her fortunes? Do Times top dogs really find the prospects of Newsom, Buttigieg, Booker, and the rest really that dim? Apparently, they do if Kamala Harris is suddenly once again the candidate of choice.”
Well…yeah. Newsome is reduced to chatting with Walz about “masculinity”—which is kind of like Maisie and Nancy chatting about Mensa scores. That is, “what is seen from a distance but never within reach”. On the other hand, Booker and Buttigieg know better than to try to talk about masculinity, so give them credit for at least a little self-awareness.
Right now Kamala wants us to believe that she is happy with the honor of having a marble bust in Congress. Hopefully between Joe Biden and Spiro Agnew, if there is any ranking of VPs. One was described by his own president as a guy who could f**k up anything and the other had to resign in disgrace.
The problem Newsom and Buttigieg have is they are white and male – being gay is insufficient to overcome the facts of Kamala being POC and female. If she wants it, she’ll simply swoop in and get the nomination. Remember, these clowns believe it was close (and, sotto voiced) that Trump cheated to win (Russia!). Booker might have a slight shot at it, but being male is a huge handicap right now in Democrat ranks…it is a woman’s turn, you see? And if its a choice between white and POC, it will go POC…only a lesbian POC could possibly wrest it from Harris.
Harris underperformed in the black demographic in 2024. True, she did get 78% of the black male vote, but this was less than Biden had gotten, and she needed 83-84% of the black male vote. When age is factored in, only 73% of black men ages 30-44 and 76% of black men 45-64 voted for her. That is a broad swath of age, from 30-64, that showed less interest in her. Keep in mind that this was in the heat of the election, when she had only been the candidate for a few weeks and had been very protected by the media, while the opposition didn’t have much time to undermine her assertions of race and background.
Since then, she has been revealed in much more detail as a nincompoop and egoist as well as someone who was never productive or successful in any office she held.
I think being a woman might attract more support than being (kinda) black. because it pulls in the White Liberal Woman support.
But I think the biggest negative she has is the awareness of so many that having her as president would merely prove that electing a president based on skin color and gender is a mistake as it only teaches us that black women can’t be trusted with authority or responsibility.
That is pretty much it – not so much black support, but upper class, urban and suburban white women feel it is their obligation to support the female POC regardless of any other consideration.
And I still question how much of this “support” is proactive support of a candidate or a political ideology and how much is simple knee-jerk opposition to a designated “enemy”—-the Invented Other I mention, a golem created and constantly referenced as something so threatening that nothing is too drastic an act to defeat it.
I just read an article that addresses, in a way, the Doomsters—in this case, the mantra that if we don’t put our lives in the hands of “experts” we are doomed.
From the article:
The Absence of Evidence Is Not the Evidence of Absence
One of the most disturbing statements in this article stated:
Another disturbing fact revealed in the article is that when a new drug is tested against a “placebo” the alleged “placebo” is another, often similar drug.
Of all the many benefits of a Trump presidency, his foresight and courage in bringing in Robert Kennedy and opening the curtain on pharmaceutical malpractice may end up being the most significant, at least in terms of saving lives.
Remember all the illegal claims Dr Fauci and the Media perpetrated about the Covid Vaccine? Which they mandated for everyone to take, and they would be fired it they didn’t, and of which Dr. Fauci received a pardon. That seems much more dangerous than someone selling supplements. Just saying.
The US Govt compelled people to take experimental vaccines based on lies of efficacy and Rocks is perfectly ok with that. What Rocks objects too, are people making their own decisions on medical treatments. That’s what “pro choice” is to Rocks.
It will be fun watching people like Rocks devolve into the intellectual abyss and we continue to dismantle them.
I’m glad Rocks is a fan of the covid vaccine, or actually Trumps vaccine. He should thank Trump for saving his life because no doubt Rocks bent the knee to big Pharma. Fear is big motivator and Rocks is afraid of everything … Trump, Climate Change, Covid, White Supremacy, Dictatorships, Jews, etc., etc. Why we could probably get him to say and do anything based on his irrational fears … oh wait, he already does.
People who receive the flu shot have the same results. The vaccine is a flu shot. I have never taken a flu shot and never will. The natural immune system is far more powerful against a flu virus if you just let it work. Children and healthy people were never at risk of dying from Covid (which had a 97+%) survival rate. The only people who died were obese or elderly, and unfortunately that didn’t include Rocks. Let’s hope the next round gets him.

The push to impose mRNA vaccines on the public actually pre-dates the pandemic. About a year before COVID-19 hit, Dr. Anthony Fauci sat on a Milken Institute panel discussing accelerating mRNA vaccine development. Moderator Michael Specter openly mused about “blowing up the system” to bypass old vaccine-production methods.
Fauci then lamented the regulatory burden of multi-year trials and safety reviews. That’s when Rick Bright, who ran BARDA at HHS, added a chilling thought: Maybe a “disruptive event” was needed. He speculated that a novel avian virus in China could trigger a global pandemic and facilitate the rapid approval of mRNA vaccines.
And then COVID hit.
It sure does make you think.
The world just gets interestinger and interestinger. (hat tip, Jeff Childers)
“Civilization erasure” in Europe is the result of civilization suicide when governments made the decision to scrap centuries of culture and society to advance political agendas. You can erase a civilization by wiping it out through conquest and/or genocide, or you can just overwrite it with another. That is what is happening in Europe, and in some parts of the United States as well.
There’s an account on X urging us to construct really monumental statues of the Founders all across the USA for the 250th…and I think that is right. The Left has already been erasing us in the deep blue cities…so, lets put a 100 foot tall statue of Washington in NYC…literally eminent domain the necessary land and put the statue right there in their Leftist faces.
Just spent a couple of months traveling around Europe. The culture and societies in the various countries seemed to be doing okay, if not thriving. Loved the trains and how walkable most places were.
You’re back in time to move to California and register to vote there (though I’m not sure that is even necessary) so you can help your girl Kammy get to the governor’s mansion. She is every bit as wonderful now as she was when you were swooning over her last year.
OR …….. he could just go back to Europe. Seems like a good fit to me.
Though Europe does seem to be “doing okay if not thriving”—-the ultimate goal of the Left—it doesn’t have Maizie or Kamala so it lacks that certain something that gets casper’s enthusiasm ramped up.
I have no desire to move to either CA (too many people) or Europe (too cold this time of year). I enjoy where I’m at. Other than the weather though, Northern Europe wouldn’t be a bad place to live. Great infrastructure and culture. The countries there are always ranked as the happiest in the world.
Remember when Casper was afraid to go to AZ? 😂 He and Ricorun were terrified. Emotionally challenged liberals are the best comic relief ever.
I don’t remember that—what were they afraid of?
I have read that some Canadian snowbirds have been afraid to go to Florida for the winter now that Florida passed their open carry law, and have freaked out to learn that anyone doing open carry has probably been doing concealed carry all along. That, and they are afraid of ICE.
NATO and the UN are relics of a dead past. The bottom line is that if between France and Germany there had been two – just two! – deployable armored corps in 2022, Russia would not have invaded Ukraine. That is not even a full field army. It is only, with support elements, about 80,000 troops. It is doubtful that even today the two countries could put together even one complete armored division…and it would probably only have material to operate for a week in combat conditions. Just what the heck are we supposed to do with that as “allies”?
I absolutely loath China’s government. India is a necessary friend but will always be fickle (Indian domestic politics are very convoluted and every now and again you have to take a swipe at the USA to retain political credibility). Putin believes he’s a Czar when he’s actually presiding over the Stalin’s rubble. But they are serious players in the world: population, territory, military capacity all make them nations we have to deal with. And, of course, Japan – a genuine friend who is now building a first-class Navy. It is just a hard reality that if these nations come together on an issue, the rest of the world will merely have to go along. And as we need twenty years of peace to rebuild ourselves and totally crush the Left, I’d rather jaw jaw with them instead of trying to make deals with useless nations like Germany and France.
Laugh for the day:
