Donald Trump

The Battle of Minneapolis

Mark Noonan35 Comments

The Democrats – the overall American Left – have chosen Minneapolis as ground zero. This is logical in that the city is entirely under Democrat control in a State where all State-wide offices are held by Democrats. That is, they can control both the State and City response to federal actions with zero chance that anyone on the Democrat side will face criminal charges at the State or local level. There are lots of places Democrats could have chosen – and ICE is operating all around the country, of course – but they chose Minneapolis. What they are trying to do here is to get MAGA to back down – to withdraw. To give up any serious attempt to enforce federal law in Minneapolis.

Their strategy is to use a paid network of activists to track ICE and then vector in people who are willing to block streets, shout, push and shove and generally act like idiots in the hope that ICE will end up killing some of them. Which, of course, is precisely what has happened – with the Democrats all demanding Trump pull back, joined in this by the weak-kneed people on the Right who will only fight until the Democrats tell them to stop.

It can’t be emphasized enough how important this is, to both sides. Do keep in mind that it isn’t just money being stolen in Minneapolis…it is every State-wide office. Trump got 47% of the vote in Minnesota – so, you know, MAGA isn’t radioactive there. It has appeal. Yet not one State-wide office is held by the Republicans. How did Kamala win the State? Because of her 1.6 million votes, more than 500,000 came from Hennepin County – you know, Minneapolis. Without that 70% vote out of Hennepin, Trump would have won the State. That county also provided the margin for Walz and Ellison in their State-wide “victories”. In a nation divided about 50/50, in a State divided about 50/50…it is the one place that goes 70/30 which gives the Democrats power. Absent that, they wouldn’t hold a single State-wide office in Minnesota.

There hasn’t been a Republican mayor of Minneapolis since 1961. The chances that a party retains control of a large political entity for 65 years without fraud are near zero. The only thing that has changed is that the Democrats put the fraud in Minneapolis on steroids and now use it to control the whole State, not just Minneapolis. And if the fraud is at long last exposed and those who carry it out are removed from power…if there is no more money to steal, then it is all over. Turn out the lights. The GOP will win it all next round and if the Democrats want to come back, it’ll have to be by providing something people want…not by merely perpetuating a corrupt system via fraud. And if Minneapolis goes down, then so will Boston and Los Angeles and San Francisco and Portland and New York City and Chicago…on and on and on.

It has been my contention for years that the vote totals out of the deep Blue cities are pure fiction. Just whatever number the Democrats think they can get away with…and in States where the AG is Democrat, the Democrats think they can get away with anything. That 500,000 vote margin for Harris in 2024…it could be, in reality, any number between zero and 500,000…with the higher you go, the more unlikely the alleged number is. You think about places like Minneapolis and Chicago and Los Angeles which get worse year by year…higher crime, spreading poverty, ever more illegal immigrants, ever more flight of native Americans…and somehow or another in these increasing disaster areas, the Democrat margins increase. That is simple absurdity – it is like the PRI remaining in total control of Mexico for like 80 years straight. Doesn’t happen unless people cheat.

So, this is the battleground – and while Democrats decided to go ape in Minneapolis, it is actually the ground of Trump’s choosing. He was going to respond the same way no matter where Democrats did this. And keep in mind, during the Summer of St Floyd of Fentanyl, it was in cities all across the country. Democrats can’t seem to muster up enough people for more than one city at a time…and they are defending the city where billions have been stolen via welfare fraud. Those investigations continue. More and more indictments on that will come down. The Democrats out there thumping their chests about fighting off Trump’s ICE “Gestapo” will likely soon find themselves being arraigned…unless they can get Trump and ICE the heck out of Dodge.

And, so, Trump can’t back down. I don’t think he will. I won’t. I did say prayers for the dead, I did pray for the people of Minneapolis to choose peace. But I am not about to get weepy-eyed over insane people getting killed because they believed stupid Democrat lies about what ICE is doing. We all have agency. We make our choices. We endure our consequences. There is nothing to actually protest in the ICE actions. It is mere routine law enforcement…if you decide to get in ICE’s face, then you just bet your life that nothing bad will happen. Two of these Leftwing fanatics have lost their bet. More probably will. Yes, this could be the “Bleeding Kansas” precursor to Civil War II. I don’t want that. I don’t think it’ll go there…but it might, and if it does, I won’t shed a tear for the Left as we destroy them.

Arrests! We Got Arrests!

Mark Noonan14 Comments

We did get some arrests! More are promised…but Don Lemon’s arrest warrant wasn’t signed because the Judge’s wife is an Assistant AG in Keith Ellison’s office.

Think about that. It isn’t a statement of guilt. It isn’t about evidence. It is merely law enforcement saying they want to arrest a person on alleged charges. Book him, Dan-o. That’s it. He’d be out on bail probably within hours. But the Judge wouldn’t sign…because the Judge knows that the job isn’t about law, it is about protecting Friends and punishing Enemies. He was protecting a Friend.

This is what we’re up against – all up and down the line on every level of government, we have committed Leftist fanatics who’s only loyalty is to the Party. Trump is weeding them out of the federal level and in the Red States serious efforts are being made to get rid of them…but in the Blue areas – which includes the Blue areas of Red States – the fanatics are firmly in power and will hamstring all operations of law if those operations harm the Left. It is going to be hard to get indictments. Hard to get judges who won’t just toss the cases. Hard to get convictions in jury pools made up of Leftist fanatics.

The good news? In the end, we don’t have to get a lot of convictions all at once. In fact, to start, we only need one. Just one person looking at years in jail but holding information which will put dozens in jail. Information to trade for a get out of jail free card. There’s nothing quite like looking at 10 or 20 years in the pen to concentrate the mind…to make one reconsider if loyalty to the Party is all its cracked up to be. These people figure they are immune…that they mostly won’t even get arrested and, if arrested, will be allowed to skate. And even if convicted they figure a Democrat President in 2029 will pardon them. It will be hard to get any of them to flip…but if we can get just one, the whole thing unravels.

And they are all corrupt – every last one from the most minor official to the highest elective offices. They are all on the take. They all have skeletons they must keep hidden. Everyone is at risk if anyone starts to help find the bodies. Once one flips, it’ll be a stampede of mostly lower level miscreants desperate to get out of the way. We can start to unravel it all…backed by the testimony of those who made it all happen. You think some Somali just off the boat can work up a multi-billion dollar welfare scam? No. That takes local talent. A lot of it. The Somali is just the face – the way to call all attempts to stop it racism. If that bit of lead shielding no longer works and if people are facing serious jail time, it will all come out.

And nobody has ever tried this before. The GOP has routinely let slide massive corruption because they are a mix of on the take, themselves, or just too gutless to go after it. Afraid of being called bad names. But not any more. The charge of racism just doesn’t work on us – we know we’re not and, actually, the more they shout it the more angry and determined we become…because we know we’re not and for goodness sake, these people are robbing us blind. Trump is the first man in ages who feels that cheating is bad, as such and must be stopped. It probably was set deep in his soul by how he was cheated in 2020. Nothing like that sort of rip off to make you thoroughly sick of all con artists. Be that as it may, he seems determined to go get it…and if you look at what’s been done, it is clear the Left has been set up…essentially forced to defend the indefensible against a President who is willing to let it all come out because he and MAGA are not at all involved.

We’ll see how it goes – if it works, corruption is rooted out and the Democrats suffer another body blow (the corruption provides most of Democrat campaign funds – nobody really donates to them; they kick back to Democrats some of the swag stolen from the taxpayers).

What We’re Up Against

Mark Noonan48 Comments

I saw a video of a man interviewing some of the anti-ICE protestors and he was asking them about the fraud in Minnesota and to a man, woman and other, they were convinced it wasn’t happening – made up to justify hating Somalis. In other words, racist MAGAts were just inventing a reason to go after black immigrants. This is 180 from reality but we do have to understand why they believe it: the MSM has told them this is the case. Sure, it is heavily reinforced by Leftwing social media, but they get their main cue from the MSM. Over and over again on CNN, MSNBC and the rest of the DNC propaganda outfits, the basic Narrative is repeated: it is just that evil, bad Orange Man and his racist supporters going after poor immigrants who didn’t do nothing. Then after the Leftist watches that, xe heads over to Bluesky where it is a stream of “people are being kidnapped!”, “ICE is going door to door with guns drawn” and “it was clearly a murder by ICE” over and over and over again. What you won’t get in either MSM or Leftist social media is the fact – very clear by now – that quite a lot of money was stolen…and while Somalis have been the face of it, the reality is that the entire political and social organism of Minnesota has been in on it…and it is likely going on in California, New York, Illinois and every other State and locality where the Left is dominant.

Here is our problem: they can’t be talked out of it. I’ve seen major Lefty accounts posting video clearly showing the woman tried to kill the ICE officer and the comment with the video is “here we see the ICE officer shooting the woman for no reason”. And then 10,000 Lefty accounts repost it and after a day or two it has a million views and you start getting smaller Lefty accounts saying “I saw the video where the ICE officer shot her for no reason”. Boom: this is now Leftist dogma as much as “hands up, don’t shoot” and “Russian collusion” are. Absent a road to Damascus moment, these people will go to their graves certain they saw ICE murder someone on video. And these people get to vote – they will go into the voting booths this November and pull the lever based upon their conviction that ICE murdered someone…and is daily kidnapping, murdering and torturing others. A Big Lie will have a gigantic influence on how America is governed.

This is not sustainable.

It is my view that the insanity the Left is displaying will be a massive turn off to all non-Left people by November – coupled with the rapidly improving economy, my expectation at this point is a GOP victory in the mid-terms. Of course, I could be wrong – but if I am wrong it means that a quite monstrous lie will propel the Democrats into control of at least one house of Congress, if not both. Think about that – a political result based entirely upon lies. And then the liars will get to enact laws and carry out other Congressional actions. How is a Republic supposed to survive with that? I mean, if the Democrats lie their way into a Congressional majority in 2026, then they’ll just put the lies on turbocharge for 2028…and if they can lie to victory one year, they can certainly do it again…and our whole system will be in the hands not just of liars, but of liars who believe that lying is the best possible thing to do…that not only should they lie, they should lie in the most astonishing and easily exposed ways and carry out the most absurd policies based upon the stupidest lies imaginable. That will be it, my friends: we’ll be cooked. We’ll have laws mandating illegal entry into the USA and immediate fraudulent benefits to everyone we bring in…just as one example.

I hope that Trump and team are fully cognizant of what we’re up against – there are rumors and rumblings that major anti-corruption efforts are underway, with Somali fraud in Minnesota just a very small tip of a gigantic iceberg. I hope this is true – because while we can’t convince these Leftist morons they’re wrong, we can start sending a lot of them to jail…or at least into the mental meat-grinder of a felony trial (though, of course, Leftist judges will try to toss the cases…and Leftists still working within Justice will try to sabotage the cases). We really do need to start seeing people like Walz in cuffs. We need to start detailing just how bad it is. The good news is that Trump and the GOP appear to have something like a billion dollars in hand to let the American people know what has been going on – and watch as the Left tries to pressure the networks into not running the ads (it won’t work – while the Lefties running the major networks will want to comply with censorship of MAGA, there is just too much regulatory and monetary risk in doing so).

Outside the GOP money, we continue to see gains in GOP registration – after a slight, regional blip for Democrats in the runup to the 2025 elections, we have now resumed the GOP’s increase…including flipping North Carolina Red for the first time since Reconstruction. Fetterman is out there sounding more MAGA by the day because if he does want a second term, he only gets it with MAGA votes. Essentially, the crazed Leftist type can no longer win in Pennsylvania State-wide. Do keep in mind that Trump’s opposition is very much astroturf…it is rent-a-mobs at the beck and call of the DNC. It is armies of bots on Social Media endlessly reposting Leftist talking points. In money and registration, it is all running strongly GOP. The woman who got herself killed by ICE was part of a network of Leftist groups paid by Leftist moneybags to stir up trouble…bottom line, she’s dead because the Left wanted her dead. Her and a lot more…they are convinced if they can gin up a Kent State (or a dozen) they’ll win – they believe a Narrative which said that Kent State led to Leftist victory in the past…forgetting that two years later the tin soldiers and Nixon won in a landslide and that the Guard was overwhelmingly favored against the protestors in public polling.

It all turns on Trump. The fate of our country is in his hands – if he can continue to show the courage and just go after these people (and he shows no sign of slacking), then we can crush them once and for all.

Condemn the Disgraceful

Mark Noonan12 Comments

A major reassessment is needed. We really do need to free our minds from conventional wisdom. All of us have been underneath a massive weight of propaganda our whole lives and much of what we think is true is false – even those of us who have done the most to break free are still largely working on the assumptions that there was some logic and decency behind the actions controlling our society this past century or more.

Trump sparked massive Establishment outrage when he placed his name on the Kennedy Center. They acted like someone had urinated on the Washington Monument. The fact that the Kennedy Center had decayed and was a mere slush fund for the Left didn’t matter…Trump was the person violating all decency by putting his name on it! But even in the debate back and forth on it – I think it is enormously funny – everyone was missing the part about whether or not there should be a Kennedy Center.

JFK was very much a Greatest Generation/Boomer phenomena. That is, it was all an act – the appearance of excellence masking a sordid and rather incompetent reality. But now the Greatest Generation is almost all gone and the Boomers are aging out. I was born in late 1964 so I’m the very tail end of the Boomers…and I’m sixty one. The Boomers who really set the tone were born fifteen and twenty years before I was…and they are pushing or over eighty. That is, there aren’t a lot of people left who care to defend that time period. Once upon a time, “where were you when you heard Kennedy was shot?” was a meaningful social benchmark…I wasn’t even a gleam in Dad’s eye at the time. You’d have to be at least 72 to have an even partially connected memory of it. To have it be really meaningful, you’d have to be eighty or more. And now we can look back and wonder just why so much angst was invested in the event?

Sure, it was a shock and, yes, significant questions persist to this day about just how it happened and why. But as for the man, himself, there isn’t much to say. A mediocre junior officer in the Navy during WWII massaged into a very media-driven political career where the showmanship far outstripped the statesmanship. My Dad was a Democrat in 1960 but he voted Nixon that year on grounds that JFK was a lightweight (though Dad had reservations about Nixon as well). That towards the end we have indicators that JFK was waking up to the fact that he was a mere facade is neither here nor there – before he could do anything to buck that reality, he was dead (and might be why he died)…and the actual legacy is not too great. Impelling us on to the Moon shot was significant but almost all the work was done after he died. Other than that, we have the Bay of Pigs fiasco, the totally blown Cuban Missile Crisis, backing down on the Berlin Wall and our increasing involvement in Vietnam as what Kennedy left us. However you slice it, this isn’t the stuff of Eternal Flames. Or Kennedy Centers.

I’ve long thought about writing a booked called Unserious Men – it would be about all the leaders of the West since prior to WWI who have simply run us up on the rocks over and over again…and who are for the most part highly honored to this day. But just taking it from the American perspective, I rate our successful Presidents since the Civil War as these:

Grant, Cleveland, McKinley, Coolidge, Reagan and Trump.

That’s it. The rest ran from incompetent to malevolent (and often both). A series of people who worked the system to climb the greased pole and wind up in the office of the most powerful man in the world. Not people who thought seriously about what was best or what theory should govern action…just work it. Fake it till you make it. Get the brass ring no matter what. They weren’t alone, of course: for each one who made it there are a dozen who twisted and turned mightily trying to climb that pole but failed in the end. On the other hand, the men I rate as successes did have a theory and wanted to see it implemented…and their political efforts weren’t directed towards getting themselves into office, but their ideas into reality. Huge difference.

One might say that we owe some respect to those who managed to get into office. I say, no. The office is a place of respect…but if a disreputable man enters it, then it is besmirched and it can only be cleaned by casting out the dirt. That is, saying what the occupant was. Defining our terms. Not letting our sense of politeness or nostalgia allow things to slide. When Trump put up those insulting placards on Biden and Obama’s pictures, that was a necessary purgative. Sure, it was also Trump’s sense of humor…but Biden and Obama are not the good guys. In office they were cruel, greedy, spiteful and incompetent. They poisoned American politics…perhaps beyond cure (though we still hope for a cure). And for no other reason than narcissism…they both of them thought they were the greatest men alive. But to be bi-partisan here, I also have great disdain for W these days…the man took the loyalty of the GOP base and simply turned his back on it. We stood up and fought for the guy for eight years. Trusted him. Invested in him. Thought he was at least trying to do the right thing. And since he left office he’s had plenty of nice things to say about the Clintons and Obamas, but when the Clintons and Obamas call us racist Nazi traitors…dead silence. That also poisons American politics…it is a grave act of omission. It is consent to having Obama poison us. And once you’re part of the conspiracy in any form, you’re totally in the conspiracy…even if you didn’t mean to be.

And it is all over the place. You take a look at the massive corruption Walz has presided over in Minnesota and you know that it wasn’t just him – it was everyone who worked with him. They all knew. And then you realize that this type of corruption has been going on for decades…so that means when the GOP had total control of the government in, say, 2005, it was going on and nobody did anything about it. Which means the GOP knew and was in on it as well. I recall that when one of Peter the Great’s ministers was caught stealing he sentence the man to be knouted (beaten with a thick leather truncheon) and it was common soldiers who did the beating…after a time, Peter ordered it to stop but the soldiers, drenched in sweat and breathing hard from their effort (they had gone at it with a will), said, “just a bit more, Little Father: he stole the bread out of our mouths!”. That is the sort of attitude we have to start taking towards these people…that money wasn’t just a figure on a balance sheet…it was your grandmother’s in home care that was denied, it’s that decaying bridge at risk of collapse, its your brown-out for lack of up-to-date power lines, it is the wounded veteran waiting ten years to get benefits, it is the peeling paint in your local school…it is your sustenance that was stolen, kicked back and remitted to Somalia and Mexico.

The condition our country is in isn’t an accident. It was deliberate. It was brought here by people who think they’re better than everyone else and this gives them a license to steal and to not care about how many people who die in the process. They need to be beaten within an inch of their lives…not given a statue. And until we start treating them as they deserve, we really can’t break the chains they’ve bound us with.

Time to End This Nonsense

Mark Noonan6 Comments

Of course it was a Muslim migrant let in without vetting under Biden who ended up overstaying his visa. That was the intent – the American (and global) Left wanted this to happen. And all over the West. We can see what its doing in Europe…the more people killed by Muslim migrants, the more restrictions are placed on the native European population. There’s a proposal in Britain right now to do away with jury trials for a host of offenses…to allow a single judge to decide. Because that makes it easier for the court to rule against the native Brit in conflicts with the migrants. It works a bit different here in the USA because of our Constitution and the fact that the people are armed…but make no mistake about it, the project remains the same: use migrant violence to intimidate the native population into submission (the migrants get the payoff in the form of massive welfare fraud that the Left allows to happen). If we had a Democrat trifecta right now, the whole thing about be about new laws against “racism” and gun ownership.

How can I say this with such certainty? Simple: Morocco.

Here’s a picture of the capital city, Rabat:

Not bad looking, huh? In fact, pretty darned nice. Like maybe even a place you, personally, would like to visit. Of course you might – it is a well-known tourist destination for Europeans. Not so much for us because it is pretty far away but, still. Also, of course, an overwhelmingly Muslim nation.

So why don’t the Muslim migrants go there? Or to Turkey, Bahrain, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Tunisia, Indonesia? You know, the Muslim nations in the world which aren’t basket cases? Why?

Because those nations would kill you if you tried to go Islamist. They aren’t stupid. They know what these people are – barbarians heavily influenced by the species of Islam which likes to blow things up. If you’ve got any sense at all you never allow such people into your country…even if you share the same religion and culture. It would be like Americans looking high and low around the world and trying to find Klansmen to import. Why the heck would you do that?

And, guys, don’t get hung up on the Islam thing. I know that some are saying that we need a total ban on Islam in the USA. No. Just no. The fact that Morocco exists shows that Muslims are not inherently flawed. They’re perfectly fine in Morocco and non-Muslims visiting are treated very well, everyone has a good time and on Sunday you can openly go to Mass…and if you’re Jewish, head on over to Temple Beth-el in Casablanca for Shabbat. Not saying things are perfect in Morocco – they ain’t. Of course it is against the law to try to convert Muslims there. Of course it is against the law to agitate against the monarchy. To an American, these are outrageously oppressive laws. But, hey, it ain’t our country. And as a tourist, what do you care? If it really bugs you, don’t visit. The main thing is that Muslims are perfectly capable of maintaining a reasonable, civilized society which the outsider can visit, live in and do business with. So, the problem isn’t Islam, as such. The problem is a certain species of Islam.

And this is pretty easy to identify. That species of Islam runs every sh*t hole in the Muslim world. It is excellent short hand: if the place is a dump, don’t let the residents into your country. Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria – definitely not the place to get your immigrants from. Big flashing red light!

We need to deport everyone from the bad areas – I’m not interested any longer in vetting. I want all Somalis, all Sudanese, all Libyans, all Afghans, etc to be deported. And if they’re naturalized anytime in the last twenty five years, I want their documents fully reviewed and an investigation done to determine if they’ve actually lived up to their oath of citizenship…slightest problem, denaturalize and out you go. This is mere self defense. It has nothing to do with race or religion. I can’t trust the population…that fat slob who stabbed our Guardsmen yesterday was escorted into the USA in 2021. He has been lavished with aid from our country…and his response was to shoot our troops. No. Heck with that. Can’t do it. If that is what even one Afghan is like, then its time for us to not have Afghans around us. So, too, with Somalis…we rescue you from starvation and oppression and your response in the USA is to steal welfare funds and call us racists? Get the **** out of my country. If any person of Afghan or Somali background is reading this and getting all angry and outraged…they get off the stick and prove to us that I’m wrong. Show us that you’re loyal to the USA and not some 9th century savagery.

You do this, by the way, by turning in the welfare cheats, the oath breakers and guys muttering in the back of the room about how he wants to murder infidels. You cease being loyal to tribe, you start being loyal to America. You don’t get to sit back, watch it all happen and them make an insincere statement of dismay when someone gets murdered.

And, now, back to our fellow Americans – our fellow Westerners. Our Left, that is, which has poured these people into the USA and the West…ignored their welfare fraud, turned a blind eye to their crimes and now calls us racists for not liking the whole shoot us in the back thing. Oh, no, we haven’t forgotten about you. In fact, we’re more angry with you – honestly, given a choice between deporting a Afghan jihadist and an upper class liberal white woman, I know where 90% of us would come down. The jihadist might be open to reason at some point.

We need to really go after these people – it’s not like you can wander in from Somalia or Syria and instantly know how to work the American system to drain welfare funds. Someone has to show you how…and I have my suspicion about who the instructors are. And it goes from start to finish…from the bringing in to the settling to the setting up a fake home health care company…and each step of the way, I guarantee an American liberal is involved…and American liberals, you now have blood on your hands. You brought these people in so you could rake off from their theft and keep your cities voting Blue, and now it is time for you to pay.

We can’t just let this pass. As I said, this was intentional. The Left wanted all of this. And their recent rhetoric about the Guard being deployed helped stoke the flames of hatred. It is time we stopped pretending the Left isn’t malicious. We won’t treat them like they treat us – that is, we won’t punish them for disagreeing. But all of them are neck deep in crime…and it is time for people to go to jail.

United We Must Stand

Personally, I do believe it is an op – that is, this bubbling controversy on the Right about our proper relation with Israel and our attitude towards the Jews. It is an op because it is out of character – the American Right has been the last bastion of Israel’s defense of decades. Since Obama came to power, no other political entity on Earth had stood steadfast in defending Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish State. Everyone else first abandoned Israel and then slipped, step by step, into the most disgusting forms of anti-Semitism. We did not – but now, quite suddenly, we’re being told that people who are “just asking questions” about Israel and the Jews are the leading lights of the Right and we must not shove them aside.

Nothing doing. This is clearly a Democrat effort to divide the Right and thus reclaim power. They want us fighting over the absurd arguments of anti-Semites rather than pursuing the actual enemy on the Left. That it is orchestrated by an increasingly vile and anti-Semitic Left is neither here nor there – we know the Left will always wipe its a** with its own flag at need. But it is revealing that those who are allegedly Right anti-Semites also follow other Left ideals…including hatred and contempt for Trump. Clearly these are people being paid to make their statements and they’ve been told – because the Left wouldn’t have it any other way – that they must spice their anti-Semitism with a dose of anti-MAGA into the bargain…to essentially get more people on board with opposition to MAGA. That is, to undermine the ability of Vance, DeSantis or whomever succeeding Trump in 2028.

Always keep in mind how much money is flowing out there to shape our politics. And it flows because with control of the US government comes control of $6.7 trillion. Trillion. Every year. And every year that amount grows. That much money is not a small thing – people have massacred whole populations to gain control of far less. Right now, those who did control it are watching it slip away, day by day, under Trump. They are deathly afraid that if things go on for eight or twelve more years they’ll be frozen out of it forever…and without a steady influx of government money, these people are cooked. They have no skills other than a shameless ability to lie and steal. They know nothing. They are incapable of the most basic tasks of human life. They would be seasonally employed agricultural laborers if it weren’t for government. They will leave no stone unturned to get back into control. Including fostering anti-Semitism on the Right – after all, what are the lives of the Jews of Israel compared to control of the Department of Education budget?

What I’m saying is that the voices allegedly on the Right calling on us to tolerate anti-Semitism, to condemn Trump for not doing this, that or the other thing at a certain speed are all paid shills…people who have struck a bargain with the Ruling Class: “pay me and I’ll sow division”.

We will not fall for it.

We defend Israel because it is the decent thing to do.

We avoid endless wars because they give us nothing.

We deport all the illegals because we can’t have a country if we don’t have a border.

We support tariffs because while trade is a boon, being stupid about it makes no sense.

We won’t play their game. Not any longer. We will not be deflected from MAGA. We are the good guys – indeed, we are the only good guys. Everyone else is sunk in sloth, atheism, cowardice and wicked lies. We will save the world, in spite of them. Nothing will stop us now.

Our House is Divided

I didn’t know much about Charlie Kirk. To me he was just one in a series of names pushing the cause forward…but I don’t watch much TV nor, since Rush died, listen to much political radio. Podcasts and such are almost alien to me. But all day I’ve been finding large numbers of people do listen to him…like everyone knows exactly who he is and enjoyed his show. The reason? “He just talks with people and its cool”. My wife is quite devastated over his murder – and she’s the archetype of moderate, Trump-skeptical, decent human being who just wants us all to get along.

This is an exceptionally radicalizing moment in America. The murder of Iryna Zarutska is pretty watershed but this one seems to be striking home a lot harder. Kirk just talked. That’s it. Sure, the Left says he’s a hate-filled neo-Nazi existential threat…but that’s a lie.

It is also why Kirk is now dead. As I’ve said again and again – hardly anyone is swayed by lunatic rhetoric. But some are. In a nation of 340 million people, if even one tenth of one percent are convinced of your insanity that works out to 340,000 lunatics primed to kill. They’ve been told that we on the MAGA side are pure evil and an existential threat. And just what do you do to an existential threat? You kill it as soon as you can. And we likely have millions out there willing to kill…believing they must kill.

We’ve been at this crossroads before:

This is a contemporary depiction of the caning of Senator Charles Sumner on the Senate floor by Representative Preston Brooks. It was, of itself, a terrible deed but what outraged the North was the overwhelming approval of the beating in the South. Sumner, of course, was a radical abolitionist and so was very much hated in the South…but people, until the beating, figured that most Southerners were reasonable people who some sort of agreement could be made. The applause for Brooks’ attack was a wake up call in the North…a time to realize that the leaders of the Slave Power weren’t interested in compromise but in domination. From that point on, Northern attitudes hardened and there became no chance of another 1820 or 1850 Compromise because the North felt that any such thing was surrender to threat. The murder of Charlie Kirk is our wake up call – they want us dead.

We are, sadly, on the brink of another Civil War. One which won’t have clear battle lines as we started with in 1861…it will be political violence all over the country and all at once. We can, just perhaps, stop it from happening – but as of today, I have little confidence we’re getting out of this without bloodshed. The 340,000 insane Leftist killers are out there…already primed and ready to go…and doubtless being backed by foreign actors who would love for America to fall into chaos. I have no doubt at all that Trump, Vance, Rubio and Hegseth are going to be continually targeted…and if they can’t get close to them, the Left will go after anyone on the Right whom they can reach. And, eventually, our side will shoot back…and shoot back a lot more than they were ever shot at.

I hope we can still get out of it – that Trump and his team can do it. I pray for our poor country.

The Shift is Happening

That was posted just an hour ago on Trump’s Truth account. I think the man is serious.

And I also think his opponents still don’t understand him in the least. They don’t get that he’s actually a pretty smart guy – thinks strategically. Everything is planned in advance. There’s a script but Trump has the capability to ad-lib at need. Add to it his now ten years of experience in fighting the Establishment/Deep State and you’ve got quite the political force of nature here.

I work in my day to day with a bunch of very bright, young people. Seriously: one of my team members was born in 2005. They do give me a bit of hope for the future. To be sure, there is much they don’t know – the teaching of history is pretty much gone and the kids don’t get references to anything done before 2000 (“kids” meaning anyone born 1990 or later). But they are savvy – they do see through the various scams that have been laid on our society over the past few decades. They might not know the way out of the maze, but they know they’re in one. They were relentlessly propagandized growing up and now see it all for what it was – this, I’m assuming, is what is happening among this class of kids: those who are at work, earning their pay and building for a future. The kids who are still sitting around hoping that some Socialist will hand them a life are probably deeply sunk into the maze and comfortable there. I don’t know those kids – I do know these.

This is why, I think, a lot of youth is heading towards Trump and, by extension, the GOP…and pray to God we don’t betray their trust! They literally are the future – they’ll be there when we’re all in the ground. But Trump’s don’t-give-a-damn style appeals to them – because they don’t give a damn about the enforced Leftist piety we’re all supposed to adhere to or suffer social destruction. They just want to live their lives – they don’t care what a person’s color is or who they have sex with or if the guy wants to wear a dress…just live and let live. After a gap of 25 years, my generation (late Boomer to early X) has returned…essentially Libertarian in social desires but also no-nonsense about having to earn what you want. Trump is telling them, “you’re right: be free. Work. Build. Enjoy the ride!” and the youngsters are responding to it…far more than the GOPe’s “hey, lets bomb some people and lower taxes” or the Democrats “you’re all racists at heart” messages.

And it could end up rather surprising – one thing being noticed these days is a resurgence in religious belief among the young. Keep in mind: these are people born 1990 and later. They grew up in irreligious households. The entirety of pop culture was hostile to all traditional religious beliefs. Priests were all perverts, pastors all crooks. Religious people were all fanatics who wanted to kill everyone who didn’t believe. But out of this morass of Enemy propaganda there has emerged this strange flower…the rose of faith. It is still small…but it is growing rapidly. This was just last month:

Estimates of that crowd run towards a million – overwhelmingly young people. People born in the 21st century. There are more young Catholics in England than active members of the Church of England. The smaller Protestant churches continue to grow. People are starting to become unapologetic about announcing their faith.

I’m starting to be content – that is, sure in the knowledge that we really can’t lose. That no matter what the other side does, we’re going to win. Nobody believes in the Establishment except those paid to do so. Ten thousand shrieks for free trade or mass immigration are routinely revealed to be ten thousand bots in India. We’re winning – Trump has kicked in the door…the roaches are scurrying for cover and we’re on the march.

The Looming Peace

Mark Noonan12 Comments

As of this moment the trajectory in the Russo-Ukraine War is towards peace – mostly because both nations have failed in their desires. Ukraine wanted to get the Russians all the way out, the Russians wanted to get all the way in – as it turns out, neither are capable of achieving these goals and so a peace of exhaustion is on the horizon. Will Trump be able to broker it? I hope so. We’ll see how sticky both sides get on this…but at the back of the mind for both Putin and Zelenskyy is the fear of sudden and total collapse. That is, their respective armies just fall apart and thus allow the other side to impose it’s will – this is a greater fear for Ukraine than for Russia but it is a distinct possibility for both. Getting out now allows both men to have at least some reserve military power to retain control.

We did learn, once again, the power of a well-knit defense. There is a mental attitude out there that the tank and airplane of WWII cancelled the cannon and trench of WWI – nope, never happened. Blitzkrieg only works when it enters a void – against a tight defense it becomes just a Somme with tanks. First Battle El Alamein, Kursk, Caen and Seelow Heights proved again and again that even a vastly outnumbered defense if well situated and competently commanded can hold off the enemy for a long while and only retreat, if necessary, after extracting a usurious blood price. The use of drones has just added to defensive depth and flexibility – and I do hope our military is paying attention and trying to figure out the best way forward given what we’ve learned.

We also learned, again, that Russia is a quantité négligeable on the world stage. Twice now Russia has appeared to loom up all-powerful: 1815 and 1945. But in both instances Russia only triumphed (over Napoleon and Hitler) because others drained the enemy who also made a whole series of stupid mistakes. Someone on X noted that Russia is a mud-pie with a crown and there is a great deal of truth to this. The Winter Palace is magnificent…but the Russian army invaded Ukraine without properly maintained vehicles and so bogged down within days of the start. Think about that: you’re a Russian officer in command of Motor Rifle Brigade and you know that next week you and your men are heading into Ukraine…and you didn’t even make sure your vehicle tires were in good shape! Think of the level of lazy incompetence this required! And then you remember Russia’s Second Army in World War One…just blindly sent into East Prussia and wiped out by a smaller German force with nobody on the Russian side even knowing that a battle was going on until it was all over. A century on. Multiple total changes in Russian government…and the tip of the spear still gets broken because the Russian organism can’t plan or prepare.

I don’t know what makes the Russians what they are but they are brutally incompetent. Unfortunately, they are also just strong enough to prevent a Ukrainian victory so we’ll have to cut a deal with them…and then try to woo them away from China because grand strategy requires at least a neutral Russia if we ever tangle with China. Foreign policy: its just a lousy thing.

Trump wants to be the Peace President – part of this is simply humanity but the other part of it is that he knows America needs a period of peace and prosperity. We need to rebuild our manufacturing, rebuild our shipbuilding capacity, rebuild our agriculture, rebuild our labor force…we need to grow out of debt and finally start paying it off. We need to revive a general sense of American exceptionalism and patriotism. Of course, we also need God – but Trump knows he can’t make us go to God…but he also knows that the most successful people in a revived America will be those who believe in God. It is time to wind all this Endless War up…this Endless War which started in August of 1914 must finally be brought to a conclusion. End Ukraine. Gaza. Yemen. Sudan…these and a score of other simmering conflicts have to end. Even if doing so requires us to knock some heads together (Trump having a B-2 Bomber fly over Putin was the clearest message possible that intransigence isn’t a good idea: basically, our attack on Iran just showed the world that you only have your most valuable strategic assets as long as we allow you to).

What will the Ruling Class do with peace? Don’t give the least damn. Christopher Steele was out on X – with locked replies, of course – condemning Trump’s meeting with Putin…and it just disgusted me that he’s living well instead of in a van down by the river. The world is out of kilter – made so by people like Steele who never would have risen above dustman level in any sane society. Stupid liars have run things into the ground for too long…and that is also why Trump wants peace: it’ll make the stupid liars unemployed…or at least finally get a real job.

It All Comes Together

Mark Noonan5 Comments

In a little bit of a follow up to the last post: people on our side are getting ok with responding to violence with violence. Even saw a guy on X who suggested flogging for the more minor offenders…including, outside politics, those who shoplift and such. This is the way we’re going to have to go. Mostly because just like those attacking ICE, it is the stupid people who shoplift and vandalize.

If you catch an 8 year old trying to lift a candy bar from the store you understand the whole sequence: he saw the candy bars. How many of them! It is just one. And, wow, a candy bar would be nice right now!

The 8 year old doesn’t understand the amount of labor that went into getting that candy bar onto the store shelf. How razor thin the profit margins are on each candy bar sold and how the owner of the store has to sell quite a lot of them just to make ends meet. And we don’t get too angry with the 8 year old – sure, some punishment is warranted – and must be done – but an 8 year old lacks the knowledge and wisdom necessary to fully understand the action taken.

By the time we’re talking about a 28 year old, a different set of parameters come in. To be sure, that 28 year old shoplifter or vandal still might not understand the full ramifications of what is being done – but if that is so, it just means our actions must be even sterner than we might initially contemplate. A 28 year old should fully understand it all – if a person after nearly three decades of life doesn’t understand it, then we’d better make darn sure that they at least understand risk/reward and how very, very painful its going to be if they get caught.

The bottom line is that someone stupid enough to steal from a store or think that ICE should be attacked isn’t someone you can reason with. Such people are all impulse and emotion. They should have been taught very young to control that sort of thing but they weren’t. In fact, here in 2025, they were more than likely taught that impulse and emotion are the way to go. That the whiny shout is how you get your needs met. In a lifetime of shouting and grabbing and having a temper tantrum they’ve never once met someone who will say “no” and make it stick. We’re going to have to do that.

Right now the DOJ is applying current laws to the problem – with some success. You might note that its been a while since a Tesla was set on fire. But I’m concerned this is mostly due to people finding out that Teslas have cameras all over the place – that they haven’t learned their lesson so much as just shifted their target…to now throwing rocks at ICE agents figuring that masks and numbers give a good shot at getting away with it. Plus the MSM Propagandists aren’t talking to much about Musk and DOGE of late and the target audience has the attention span of a gnat. I suspect we’re eventually going to be forced to extreme measures.

This is because illegal immigration is the lynchpin of the whole Leftist operation. This is why right now the Democrat-paid “MAGA” influencers are going ape about the Epstein issue. Which we all do care about very much and would like to see unraveled but everyone paying attention realizes that Trump really hit the nail on the head with his emphasis on illegal immigration. The Democrats would love to have us talking about anything else but immigration and would also love to get MAGA fighting itself over the Epstein case. But here’s something to chew on: Trump repeatedly promised to release the JFK, MLK and RFK files…but he didn’t actually get up there and make a specific promise regarding the Epstein files. He alluded to the issue, but it was never central to his transparency program. And, of course, file releasing of any type was never as big a Trump campaign issue as illegal immigration.

Why?

I think we were all a little blind on the matter – we were all just thinking it isn’t good to have millions of foreigners wandering around. We knew about lots of other things involved – for instance, I have repeatedly said that Cartel involvement (and bribery of US officials) is a major aspect of it all. But Trump made it very central and we’re just now starting to see why.

Announced today is the termination of a Clinton-era (!) program which allowed taxpayer funds to pay for trade school for illegal immigrants. Think about that for a moment…since Clinton we’ve been forking over money for illegal immigrants going to trade schools. When did this happen? When was it debated on? Passed through Congress? Why didn’t W stop it?

It just sort of happened – Clinton ordered it. No debate. The funding was just included – year after year – in those omnibus bills of thousands of pages. Did W even know of it? Did anyone other than the people involved in dispensing and receiving the money? Who the heck knows. Main thing, the money flowed out – and has been flowing out for decades. All based on a self-perpetuating Executive order by Bill Clinton. And then the light goes off in your head: how much of that money actually made it to helping Jose from Chiapas learn how to be a plumber? We Americans didn’t know about it – how in heck would an illegal immigrant know about it? Oh, sure, there were people enrolled and money was dispensed…but how much – what percentage of it – actually educated an illegal immigrant? What percentage just went to line the pockets of politically connected individuals? What percentage eventually wound up kicked back to the Cartels who traffic the people into our country?

Start to see it?

Trump didn’t just see the millions flowing across the border – huge as that issue is – he saw it as a gigantic system of misappropriating tax dollars into the pockets of the criminals and the connected (often same/same). Untold billions – probably trillions over the years – has gone through this. Money for “trade school” is only a small part of it but it just one of ten thousand spigots tapping into the US Treasury…and it all has become an ATM for lots of people…from Senators to Mexican drug lords. And they’re big mad that Trump is threatening the gravy train. Now we also see the connection to USAID – cuts to which sort of caught us all on the hop but Trump new all along what he was doing.

And this is why we’re probably going to have to get very stern – and I think we’ve got the stomach as a people to get that stern. People who have access to hundreds of billions of misappropriated dollars per year will not give up on that without a fight. They’re around the edges of violence right now…but if Trump keeps going, they will get actually violent, with the stupid being the cannon fodder. And so we’ll have to treat the stupid very, very harshly. Making up for what they lacked in childhood…someone to knock some sense into their heads.
