More documents regarding the origins of Russia, Russia, Russia have been released – nothing we didn’t already know but now we’re getting some names of who started it all. This helps map out the picture of Team Obama getting the ball rolling…what we don’t have is confirmation that Obama, himself, was aware and/or ordered it done. I doubt that Obama has the courage to put his name on such a thing…probably was more of a nod as DOJ ran the whole thing by him. What is clear is that they sought to destroy Trump during the 2016 campaign and then amped it up after he took office. Crucial: it was during the campaign they sought to destroy him.

If you rewatch the MSM coverage of election night, 2016, it just gets funnier each time. They were so sure (heck, I think we were all so sure!). It was supposed to be a short night ending in Hillary’s victory speech. If you watch the coverage you can see the happy faces slip into fear and then despair. But given that they were all so sure, why try to destroy Trump during the campaign? You start to suspect that someone decided to do a deep dive into the polling and found Trump had a real chance. Do you realize what level of panic that would generate in the highest reaches of the Establishment? It is the only explanation for why they started this at a time when, officially, Hillary was cruising to victory. That takes things like the CIA director…and at least tacit approval of the sitting President. And once you start you keep going – because you have to. If the target obtains power and finds out, you’re doomed. The 2020 result was mere follow up. The assassination attempts…follow up on steroids.

And keep in mind, the FBI and CIA swung massively into action in 2020 to hide the Biden family corruption – the fact that Biden was bought and paid for by foreign interests. Why? Well, sure: TDS. But more importantly – Biden was never high enough up in the food chain to get the really good payoffs. He wasn’t getting Obama money, nor Pelosi money. He got relative peanuts. Protecting Biden in 2020 was only partially about getting Trump…it was mostly about making sure the scale of foreign money buying Americans was kept out of sight.

Abdul El-Sayed has scrubbed his social media accounts – having to delete things like a desire to ban Fourth of July fireworks and abolish the Second Amendment. Do keep in mind that this doesn’t reflect a change of heart…just a pack of lies designed to get him over the electoral finish line. Personally, I think he’s just way too Commie – and way too stupid – to make it. We’ll see. But the coalition of Islamists and upper class white women in Michigan will, I believe, prove too small in November. And, yes, he’s as much a fraud as you suspect – the man played polo as a kid. As one jokester put it – Abdul El-Sayed is ready to seize the day and the means of production in a $10,000 suit.

Looks like the insane commie in Wisconsin – Hong – will lose her bid to be nominated for governor. And it looks like the Democrats manufactured some late votes to ensure she did. I wonder if she’ll wake up a bit, now? She’s been a good, little commie foot soldier for them for years and here they come to knife her in the back. She could expose a lot if she wanted to.

But she’ll probably settle for some media gig and/or book deal. They are always so easily bought off.

British media is reporting a “rise in racism” among patients of the National Health Service. Allegedly, white Brits are using derogatory terms towards Medical Personnel of Color…of course, same Brit media will say that a POC should be able to ask for a non-white doctor because that makes them feel more comfortable. But a white guy does the same? Racism!!!!

Or the fact that foreign-born medical personnel are 1.8 times more likely to be hauled up on malpractice charges than native British medical personnel. Could be that, ya know? And you know it is – and that is why the Brit media is putting out “racist white Brits” here…to forestall complaints about non-white medicos. Make a complaint and the police might pay you a visit to see if you’re violating Britain’s anti-racism laws. With evidence that you are being, well, you’re white. The twists and turns the global Ruling Class will make just to sustain their views.

What I like to point out is that Mumbai (which is really Bombay…a city founded by the Portuguese, not the Indians, later ceded to Britain…the name change is just a lame Indian attempt to pretend the Raj never happened) is the richest city in India and yet you can easily find pictures of Bombay like this:

Granted, this was probably taken after a storm or some such and is likely the worst you’ll ever see the beach…but, still, what a dump. In India’s richest city. Fully functional societies don’t have this. India has always had squalor, of course…but I’ll bet any amount of money that when Mumbai was Bombay, this sort of thing was never seen. If these Indians are so brilliant that we have to import them by the bushel, why does India look like it does? I think someone is trying to sell us on a con, guys.

Oh, the Lefties are out there saying that El-Sayed is this totes brilliant guy with doctorates n’ stuff…and I’m over here going, “can we check?”. That is, let’s have someone do a deep dive into just how he and the rest of these Leftist clowns are getting their credentials. We know it has all been massively dumbed down…how much dumbed down to get our first Muslim health director in Michigan? A little? A lot? We should find out.

More people are starting to understand that 2026 is a binary choice – you’re voting GOP, or you’re voting for the Communist destruction of the United States. And this is dawning on people before Trump and the GOP put that message on steroids heading into the Fall. The Left which was allowed into the Democrat ranks in 1972 has completely taken over and with that the mask is off…their underlying insane ideas are now front and center. We’ll see how it plays out.

John Cleese – of Monty Python fame – has come out very strongly in favor of Restore Britain: the new British political party which is committed to expelling the migrants. Cleese has been a life-long Lefty. Probably still is, at least for the most part. But he recognizes (and perhaps too late) that if there is to be a Britain which allows a John Cleese to thrive, it can’t be a Britain overrun with migrants. That to try to absorb millions of foreigners who despise the local culture is impossible – they must be forced out or they will take over. There is no middle ground here.

To be sure, there could have been. If the British government had carefully vetted the migrants, limited their numbers and insisted they be educated, wealthy and not tied to Islamist ideology, Britain could have taken in quite a lot of Muslims without any great difficulty. What Britain did – what all of Europe has done – is take in the least acceptable Muslims. Ignorant, backwards, bigoted people entirely enthralled to Islamist ideology. By doing this, the British Ruling Class – the European Ruling Class – has made it a zero-sum game: all or nothing. One side or the other must be destroyed.

Right now, I rate it heavily in the Islamist’s favor. Every European institution is entirely captured by them and the European population in sunk into sloth and cowardice. But it wouldn’t take much. As has been famously said, only 3% – if it is really determined – is necessary. In Europe, I drop that to 1% because the military and police forces of Europe are pathetic and nobody is really going to fight hard to keep the current system. The bigger fight would be between the patriots and the invaders – but turning out the British government, itself, would only take about 10,000 determined British patriots marching on London. And maybe someone like Cleese coming out in favor of Britain will start the ball rolling? I hope it does. I’d hate to see European civilization end.

Fauci took the fifth quite a lot – not quite as much as Vito Genovese, but right up there. Oddly, he’s been granted a pardon…which means he really can’t take the fifth; he’s not in danger of jail no matter what he says about the time period covered (which goes back to 2014). This refusal to answer is contempt of Congress, an actual crime. We’ll see if the Congress has the guts to refer him…but even there, the hearing was held in DC, which means we’d have to try him in DC and no DC jury is going to convict Fauci. Should have had a special session of the committee in Florida. That said, Fauci utterly destroyed himself. Probably most people hadn’t known he had been pardoned…and why not answer questions about what you did? He’s the great scientist, right? What’s to hide? The Mrs is still not very political and she, watching the hearing, came to loath Fauci. Wanted to smack him kind of loathing. This matters – it is important in and of itself; it is people at last losing respect for the Ruling Class. That is really what destroys them.

Francesca Hong is the likely Democrat nominee for governor of Wisconsin and she’s completely insane. Seriously holding to the “police cause crime” Democrat Socialist line. She’s not remotely alone nor nearly the most insane Democrat rising in 2026. Trump and the GOP will mercilessly point this out all through to November.

Iran took a shot at a US base and word now is that Trump has ordered the gloves taken off. We’ll see how that plays out.

It is pretty certain that if there’s a small, urban market that takes EBT, it is just a front for welfare fraud.

The Nazi origins of MKUltra? Mark Felton has a good look at it:

Goes along with our realization after Butler that you don’t need a gigantic conspiracy…just a few people have to be in the know if you can also arrange it that security is lax and sort of walk your target into range. A few days back I just happened across the TV news coverage of Bobby Kennedy’s assassination and it was all so very odd that it just seemed to happen…but then you find out that he had planned to go one way which would have entirely missed Sirhan but last second (likely literally “hey, Bobby, walk this way” kind of last second) it was changed to a path which walked him right up to get shot. Sheer happenstance, of course. Right? Back in those days no Secret Service protection for candidates but, also, it wasn’t like there weren’t LAPD cops around. There was security…and a “lone nut” managed to get into the kitchen of the hotel as someone decided RFK should walk right down the path to the killer.

We really don’t know, do we? That is, so much nonsense has been piled up over an 80 year period (and so much of the supporting documents are long gone, as are the people who were involved) that we can’t unwind it all. This does give free play to the conspiracy theorists – and as I’ve said before, I think at least some of the conspiracy theories are floated by the guilty to deflect attention from the real crime. But what I think a lot of people don’t fully realize is just how much our alleged leaders are complete zeros. Nincompoops. Barely literate morons who probably can’t change a tire. Do we really think that Nancy Pelosi figured out how to make all that money? She’s worth $640 million. She’s got a BA in Political Science; even if standards were more rigorous back in her day, its not the sort of degree that makes you the wolf of Wall Street. Also, just listen to her – has anything she said ever sounded like there was thought behind it? It is all just propaganda points mindlessly repeated until revised points are provided. On and on like that go our leaders – and, yes, including a lot of GOP leaders, as well (though the GOP does have some actual intellectual power in it). They’re morons doing what they’re told and being rewarded with untold riches if they toe the line…meanwhile, someone who might change thing gets off the ranch…Dallas, Los Angeles, Butler (close one!).

I hear that the Islamist who rammed his car into a German pride parade is a man who was under investigation for planning terrorism, fled to Lebanon to escape justice and then was deliberately brought back to Germany. Word is he was scheduled to start taking de-radicalization training soon. Just amazing – and shows how much the global ruling class really hates the West…and how stupid they are. I have little hope the Europeans will rise up but if they do (and it would only take 1% of them rising up to overthrow the system) then what will happen to the ruling class will make the Great Terror of the French Revolution look tame. Oh, and at the vigil for the victims one speaker was hoping the attacker was a white Christian instead of an Islamist…

I guess Chicago was subsidizing private grocery stores to the tune of $14 million and those stores have now shut down. Reminder: those stores were opened because the chains figured there was EBT to rake in. And there was. For years. But the welfare bums – who often as not just illegally convert their EBT to cash for 50 cents on the dollar – started stealing so much the stores lost money…and then continued to lose money even after they were hooked up to taxpayer dollars. Naturally, “leaders” of the local community are upset…though none of them are calling for the arrest of shoplifters (its better than even money that the “leaders” are actually gangsters who organize the shoplifting; their actual complaint is loss of easy targets for looting).

Democrats are stoutly asserting that the discovery of 6,000 illegal aliens registered to vote in New Jersey is proof that there is no fraud. No, seriously: that’s what they’re saying.

But do note: what they said was never happening at all is now admitted to be happening. They’re just absurdly claiming it doesn’t matter. This, by the way, is mere battle space prep – in the wake of Trump’s election integrity speech, they know what is coming…that is, they know DOJ has been looking into this and is likely about to blow the lid off it. This is an attempt to get out in front and implant into the public mind the concept that it doesn’t matter.

It is my contention that the deeper Blue the area, the less the reported votes are real. The deep Blue areas don’t really have elections…the powers that be determine who is going to win and just manufacture the vote totals to match. Think about what happened in LA – Pratt clearly came in second. Now, given how Democrat the city is, this still probably would have been a loss in November…but the Ruling Class in LA wasn’t going to take any chances, so they simply manufactured enough votes to get the Super Commie (who had tearfully conceded on election night!) into second place. And then the Super Commie just stopped campaigning. Bass – the Ruling’s Class’ stooge in office – is going to win by default. And, yes, there will be some votes actually cast in LA this November. And those votes will skew heavily Democrat. But the reported number will bear no relation to the number of people who actually bothered to vote. Nobody really votes in a One Party State except those who have a vested interest in that State. Everyone else gives it up as a useless exercise. Sure as heck the welfare bums won’t bother – and don’t ever bother. Used to be in olden days the Democrats would provide “walking around money” to get street thugs to push welfare bums to vote…these days, they just get them registered and then cast the votes for them. Much cheaper. Easier, too. And no chance at all that the welfare bums will vote the wrong way even by accident. Democrats know all this – and there is a very strong chance Trump is about to expose it all.

Trump continues his drumbeat against Communism. Naturally, his critics are saying he shouldn’t do that. We need to concentrate on “affordability”! Just ask any Democrat or RINO and they’ll tell you so! The American people don’t care about Communism…all they care about is grocery and gas prices. To be fair, we do care about that – we want very much for those prices to go down. But there is also only so much the President can do on that and anything effective takes time…like years of time. Reshoring our manufacturing, spurring American ranching and agriculture and getting the supply chain straightened out is going to take time. And it is already working: inflation is easing. But the existential threat to the United States isn’t $4.25 a gallon gasoline…it is the Communism. Trump is jumping on it because it is the actual issue of 2026…as much as immigration and “they/them” were the 2024 issues (and they remain the issues of 2026, but now Trump is tying them to their source…the Communist infection of the United States). Back in 2024 Trump was advised to stay away from immigration and “they/them” – he ignored those critics and went on to win. Will this concentration on Communism work in 2026? Can’t know. But I think it will.

You see, Democrats have been pushed ever further Left since Humphrey lost in 1968. Year by year, the people who rioted outside the DNC in 1968 have taken more control of the Party and allowed in increasingly Leftist screwballs. People like Carter, Clinton and Obama could mute it – cover it up with soaring rhetoric which hid the inner Maoist. But now there’s no hiding it…its out there, in the open, and being touted for the 2028 nominee. This will probably be Harris, again, because of all the insane people running, she’s the black woman and so will scoop up sufficient early wins to make her nomination a foregone conclusion…and the Democrat leaders will be relieved because if it isn’t her, its AOC or someone even more insane. The Democrats are committed to ending ICE (that is, ending all immigration enforcement), allowing criminals to run free, keeping up the drumbeat for “they/them”…every last lunatic Leftist position is endorsed and advanced. Only a few Democrats (most notably Fetterman) are even mildly objecting to it. The rest are either openly embracing it or keeping silent, lest they be condemned and removed via a far Left primary challenger. What Trump is going to do between now and November is merely point this out – to make this a national election and a referendum on Trump/MAGA. It is the path to victory if there is one at all – trying to hide things and go with the flow is the sure path to defeat. Victory comes with ruthlessly pointing out how insane the Democrats are…and tying the most lunatic Leftist around the necks of every Democrat everywhere.

We continue to whack Iran – they managed to get four of our own, and Trump says they’re going to pay heavily for that. This is what we must do. Eventually we will get to the point where even the most insane Islamist will want to call it quits. Remember, all the drawn-out wars we’ve had since WWII were drawn out defeats because we never seriously went after our enemies. We let them off the hook. We essentially told them that if they just endure for a bit, we’d quit. No more of that – failure to obey our orders means it is just going to get hideously worse for you and even if you can get a few of our along the way, we’re going to get far more of you.

RIP, Lindsey Graham. I don’t think anyone can say they ever agreed with him 100% but he’d be the first person to let that slide. It was politics. You might have to kick a man in the shins one day and shake his hand the next. Intelligent and mature people realize this and roll with it. Graham was one of the mature and intelligent people.

Naturally, the Left is filled with utterly vile comments about him. This is because Leftists are, by and large, garbage. Key to understanding the current hatred is that Graham was a stout supporter of Israel…and the Left has made it an article of faith that a genocide occurred in Gaza…this despite an increase in Gaza’s population since the start of the war. Facts don’t matter – the Islamists made the claim, the Communists adhered to it…and now everyone Left of center is supposed to fall in line. Almost all of them do…but that means that everyone who supports Israel is now Worse Than Hitler.

Side note: Graham entered politics in 1992 and his wealth is estimated as a max of 2 million. This could be a couple houses (he had to divide his time between DC and SC, of course) and some savings. Nancy Pelosi is worth 269 million.

Looks like there is no faction in Iran that can commit to a peace – so, we’re back to bombing them. If this keeps up until after the mid-terms, then Iran better watch out. Once there is absolutely no political concern, if Iran doesn’t make a deal then Trump will just wreck the whole country. We hit a bit if infrastructure lately but for the most part we’ve left it alone – essentially telling the Iranians they can have a peace and the ability to rapidly recover…or they can keep it up and we’ll knock their economy back 50 years. Personally, I think we should take Kharg Island, and keep it. Serious: annex it. US territory. All Iranian oil exports now go through US territory. They only get to sell as much as we allow, for the price we set, to the customers we approve.

Been thinking on this more and more – it is, once again, time to get into the real world. We’re told story after story of Trump aid cuts causing this or that bad thing in the Third World. Well, why are they still Third World? It’s been 60 or more years. That is plenty of time for any people to build their economy. Hey, the claim is the West is rich because it stole the wealth of the Third World. Ok. Take them at their word: but this means the Third World has wealth, and we’re no longer stealing it. So, why are they poor? Any baleful legacies of settler-colonialism are gone in twenty years, tops. Anyone who still a failure on the twenty-first anniversary of independence is just a failure…and as we’re rapidly learning on domestic welfare spending, the worst thing you can do is subsidize failure.

So, if we are to provide aid to these Third World nations, it should come only via a colonial governor. And, remember, they don’t have to accept the aid, or the governor. But if they want aid, then governor. We can’t trust them to use the aid properly – this is proven by the fact they’re still poor. This can only be because they’re stupid or venal…or both. The other side of this is that if you offend us – that is, make us spend blood and treasure dealing with you – then we’re taking our pound of flesh. We’re confiscating wealth and annexing territory. You don’t have to pay us an indemnity and surrender land to us! It is all a matter of choice – and if you choose to be quiet and respectful towards us, no worries. Cause us trouble and you won’t like the outcome.

Bottom line: it is time the world adjusts to the fact that we are, indeed, the most powerful nation on Earth.

Nick Shirley has continued to expose fraud – mostly by just going and looking at it. Very much out in the open. Latest is a scam where someone starts an “adult day care” and the place gets lavish federal subsidies…part of which is kicked back to the geezers who sign up. I am more and more leaning towards 2 out of every 3 federal dollars is stolen. Its just been a free for all of theft. We could be out of debt and taxed a third less than we are now and still provide gold-plated benefits for those who actually need them. Makes you understand why Napoleon would shoot a contractor from time to time…just to keep the stealing to a dull roar.

The Democrat establishment wants Platner out. And, lo, how the mighty have fallen. When Franken became a liability they found some relatively minor dirt on him and he was gone fast…whats coming out on Platner is quite bad and so far the man isn’t budging. A DNC to MSM hitjob just ain’t what it used to be.

What’s the dirt? Well, the rumored dirt the GOP has on him is supposedly hideous…I won’t repeat what I’ve heard (and, of course, the rumors can be wrong, but they come to be via people who’s integrity I respect) but it would be very bad for Platner and the Democrats if such stories were to drop in October. So, different dirt was called up – this time an accusation that Platner broke into a lady’s home and sexually assaulted her (this being less objectionable than what the GOP has on him!). As is typical with these sorts of thing, no apparent eye witnesses nor any contemporary police report. But, believe all women, right? Well, not the Republican woman who came out with similar accusations ages ago…you don’t believe them! But when a properly Democrat lady comes out, it is five alarm fire time. The reality is that Collins is surging, Platner is flat-lining and at least some of the dirt the GOP has is credible and, so, he’s become a liability…Democrats got their Uber-Dirts order filled and that was supposed to do the trick by July 13th (the deadline for replacing Platner with someone else).

Will it? I hope it doesn’t. Not that I like Platner: even if the accusations are false he’s a complete creep, anti-American, anti-Israel dripping sack of…well, you know. But the Democrats dug this grave all by themselves. They were warned in advance – including by some voices on the Left – that Platner was not the guy. But he hates Trump and Israel so all the upper class, liberal white women flocked to him. Now, they got him. I want them stuck with him. I want them sick at heart from now to November trying to decide if they vote for the Nazi rapist or the Republican.

Mitch McConnell seems…not totally alive. Which is not surprising given his age and overall health…but the Senate GOP is locking arms and pretending he’s fine. Fearful, I guess, that we’d get a GOP Senator who didn’t hate Trump if McConnell were forced to resign. While our prayers are for recovery (or a holy death) for Mitch, his condition is emblematic of the old GOP…rigid, dying, but still clinging to power. The sooner he’s out of office, the better.

The Odyssey flick is getting a huge number of puff pieces in the MSM…which tends to confirm its going to be lousy.

[The Iliad] might well be the last word as well as the first word spoken by man about his mortal lot, as seen by merely mortal vision. If the world becomes pagan and perishes, the last man left alive would do well to quote the Iliad and die.

— GK Chesterton

He goes on:

The Iliad is only great because all life is a battle, The Odyssey because all life is a journey, The Book of Job because all life is a riddle.

The reviews are telling us it is a fresh and subversive look…with, I guess, their not understanding that to subvert is to destroy. Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of ways to play out the story. Illiad, Odyssey and Job can be mined 10,000 times and you wouldn’t exhaust the source material (and I do wonder why we don’t get more books and movies on Job? I put a bit of into Book X…but it is so central to a true understanding of our position in the Universe). But they are their stories. You can’t alter them without wrecking them. The reason you can mine them endlessly is because all three – as Chesterton noted – deal with some major aspect of the human condition. What are we do to? Where do we go? Why are we here? The problem with modern literature, movies, etc is that they shy away from these questions…they deal with our animal appetites. That we don’t want bad. We do want good. But nothing about what is bad, or good, or why we should prefer one to the other. Some ancient, Bronze Age authors (one we assume Divinely inspired) wrote it out for us in three books. It is all there. All your questions are answered. Often with another question, but that is of the nature of things…because just where were you when the foundations of the world were laid?

It isn’t that they cast a black woman as Helen of Troy (absurd – stupid – as that is), it is that they don’t understand the story…they’ve probably created a technical marvel which will be forgotten in a decade…while Homer will be read to the end of human existence.

The funniest thing, ever, would be the USA winning the World Cup. But, be that as it may: we’re close to 250!

We here on the MAGA side are enjoying ourselves immensely. We’re not dooming. We’re no worried. We’re not apologizing. We’re just having some fun! It is summer time! It is our 250th anniversary! We’re riding a tide of victory in war and peace.

Democrats? They’re going full communist. This is the natural progression of things – inevitable, really, since McGovern got the Democrat nomination in 1972. Gotta keep in mind that McGovern was the darling of those whom Mayor Daley smashed heads in 1968. They let the radicals in…and the radicals just keep taking more and more space. Democrats should have kept smashing heads. But, too late now. They’ll go into November – and very likely into 2028 as well – making ritualistic statements about freeing Palestine and asserting their support for They/Them.

Officially the Democrats are still set to win. We’ll see. The only thing they have going for them is historic precedent – in terms of money and broad based appeal, the GOP has it going on.

Oh, and Tim Walz pardoned a guy who raped a child just so ICE would have a harder time deporting him. This is the sort of thing the GOP will emphasize going into November…likely starting with ads during the World Series.

Hey guys! I was in Del Mar the past few days. As I’ve noted before, I have been going to that beach for more than half a century but it was this trip where I finally got tagged by the stingrays endemic to the area. Fortunately, it was a juvenile, I stepped on the poor guy and he only managed a glancing blow at me…so, rather than “cry like a girl” agonizing pain, it was just a bit of swelling and a burning/tingling sensation for about 48 hours. But it has been a few days, huh?

The Supreme Court ruled that the “temporary” in “temporary protected status” is, indeed, “temporary”. Shocking, huh? Who coulda guessed? Turns out that just as a Democrat can hand-wave in millions, a Republican can then hand-wave them out. The trouble here is that it took years of litigation to simply get a ruling observing that the law is just like that – and on and on again with provision after provision of our immigration laws. On the books – in some cases – for decades; ruled on previously by the Courts; clearly assigning to the Executive plenary power to determine which foreigners are to be allowed in, to remain and to be kicked out. There is no court case to even bring in the matter of immigration enforcement…it isn’t a matter of equal protection of the laws. It isn’t a punishment to be sent home…it is just being sent home. We aren’t denying anyone life, liberty or property. The presence of any foreigner in the USA is entirely discretionary. But Democrats find judges who simply ignore the law…and that is what needs to be squashed. And if Roberts won’t squash it via judicial order (essentially telling the district courts to butt out, such matters are only for the Supreme Court), then we’ll have to squash it by law – as per the Constitution which assigns to Congress the methods whereby access to the federal courts is granted.

We still don’t have our ruling on the birthright citizenship case and the prognostication is that Roberts will write it. I don’t expect him to do other than try to split the baby – issuing a ruling which doesn’t totally accept birthright citizenship but also doesn’t totally reject it. Ultimately, this is a matter for the Legislature to address and we’re gonna need a much more MAGA Congress to get anything close to what the framers of the 14th intended. The good news is that the people are going to be on our side in this – none but a lunatic commie would think that just because you were pushed out in US territory you are as Yankee as Sam Adams.

Speaking of commies, in very low (and I really mean very low) turnout primary elections in New York, Mamdani’s commies managed to knock out several incumbent House Democrats. These people loath us, of course, but they ain’t exactly in love with the current Democrat leadership. These are the people who really believe the USA was founded so white people could be racists. Who believe that there should be no border…and no law enforcement (except against white people, of course). They are completely lunatic in their views…and Trump plus the RNC are going to make them the face of the Democrat Party. Officially, the Dem leadership is pleased as punch…”we’re a big tent” and all that. But the Democrats are already starved for funds and these commies aren’t going to make big money feel like donating.

Keep in mind, also, that these commies lost blacks. Lost Latinos. Lost working class voters. They got in via their overwhelming support from upper class whites…especially females. One of the little Maoists is already on the seventh year of her PhD program…and is a trust fund baby. Complains about cruel landlords…while her own father is a landlord. In other words, just typical commies…half-educated, half-baked children of extreme privilege. The only senior communist leader who was working class was Kruschev…not coincidentally, he was also the only one who retained a shred of human decency. Don’t get me wrong, he’d order a man shot at the drop of a hat…but he remembered what it was like to work, and he dined with his servants. Other than him, the rest of them are all junior league Lenins and Maos…just itching to punish everyone for the sin of not giving them all power and money for the asking.

The deal with Iran continues to be worked as oil prices drop and Trump puts pressure on gasoline distributors to speed up price drops. Yes, Trump knows market economics…but it is good politics and, lets face it, always infuriating when gas prices rocket up but only drift down. Still not sure we can find the right batch of lunatics in Tehran to make a full deal with, but the bottom line is that Iran has been reduced to impotence…nobody really cares what they say or do. And if they get sticky, we’ll just blow up some more of their stuff.

Trump kicked off America 250…and, guys, being American is going to be just our thing this year. Democrats have decided that they can’t say a good word about America because if they do so, it might help Trump. Wave that flag – everyone who sees you do it will know you’re MAGA.

Usha Vance caught some flack for her maternity dress…so she revealed she got the $50 dress for less than $9. There is no better way to make her relatable to American women. My wife loves deals like that. I’ll bet 90% of all women do. Sure, those with blue hair or upcoming prostate exams won’t be wowed by it…but they weren’t going to vote for us anyway. Whatever betide, if my books ever become big I just hope Usha forgives the fact that in Book X, the main bad guy is a witch…named Usha.

Starmer is going to resign his office. Doesn’t really matter as his replacement will be a carbon-copy. There isn’t a dime’s worth a difference between anyone in Labour. Heck, between anyone on the global Left. They’re all liars. They’re all cruel, greedy and stupid. Starmer and his Party – in conjunction with the Tories – allowed the rape gangs to flourish in the UK and are still trying to sweep it under the rug…but what do you expect from people who think that abortion and “assisted suicide” are good? Who think that hordes of foreigners are great? Who believe that if they just impoverish their own people it will cure “global warming”? And, of course, as they push these anti-human policies they’re all stealing as much as they can.

Labour does look like its heading for a trouncing but an election doesn’t have to be called until 2029. And with Labour holding an absolute majority of around eighty seats, there is little chance anyone can force an early election. In other words, lots of time to set things up – mostly by imposing censorship to ensure nobody hears how bad it is and, of course, grant yet larger numbers of migrants citizenship so they can vote in another Labour government with 34% of the vote. The Tories are completely craven. Reform is showing itself unwilling to actually tackle the immigration issue…and Restore Britain will be lucky to get 5% of the vote…which is indicative of how many actual patriots still reside in the UK. Just the sad and pathetic ending of a great nation…the Ruling Class, starting with the next King, will convert to Islam and that will be the end of it (and you just watch the feminists say the burka is feminist as it saves women from the perils of the Male Gaze).

The Left is so lunatic here in the USA that they are actively vandalizing the reflecting pool in DC – tearing up the material and dumping algae into the water. These are people who will kill us all in an instant if they had the power.

Still lot of back and forth on the Iran thing. Its a process, guys! Patience. Trump will bomb if he has to – and even bomb quite a lot if necessary. The Iranians have nothing but bluster – and an army of social media bots. They can’t close the strait – it takes a Navy and Air Force to do that. They haven’t got one. Some are saying Trump doesn’t realize the sort of people he’s dealing with – the reality is the Iranians still don’t know who they’re dealing with. Trump isn’t just another American President who will roll over just to get something signed. It is either do as you’re told, or lose out. Meanwhile, the oil flows, gas prices drop and the whole world starts to adjust to getting oil through any channel but the strait of Hormuz.

People are going to serious extremes to paint it all bad. I mean seriously quoting known liars because they’re saying the Orange Man is Bad. It is like we’re going to have to draw pictures explaining that the side which can bomb at will is the winner. But, not really: they know we’ve won. They just hate Trump – and need to somehow prove to everyone that they hate Trump.

RNC came into June with $125 million on hand. Democrats? Negative $3.5 million. And the GOP number does not include the gigantic amount Trump and his various PACs have. There is no way the polls are right given then – they aren’t wrong; they’re lies. Not even within ten points of reality.
