Gain of Disfunction
Timothy Birdnow
Johnson and company didn't learn a blessed thing from Covid and gain-of-function research.
House spending bill mandates 12 biolabs to study ‘emerging infectious diseases.’
Maybe they can get Tony Fauci to run them? I hear he is available after his last job.

FBI Says Not to Shoot Down Drones
Timothy Birdnow
If these are just hobby drones being flown by kids why shouldn't someone shoot it down or light it up with a laser?
FBI Warns New Jersey Residents Not to Shoot Down or Point Lasers at Drones
If the FBI is telling us not to do that it suggests they know something we do not.

Congress Gives Itself a Raise
Timothy Birdnow
Oh, by the way, Congress gave itself a nice raise in Tiny Johnson's last minute spending spree.
FTA:
According to the New York Times, individual members could be reimbursed up to about $34,000 in the first year.
Most members of Congress earn $174,000 annually, although some in leadership positions receive higher salaries. The Speaker of the House receives $223,500, while the Senate president pro tempore receives $193,400.
With the provision blocking pay raises stripped, lawmakers will receive an annual adjustment in pay equal to the change in the government’s Employment Cost Index for the fourth quarter of the prior calendar year versus the year before that.
That adjustment will be made each year unless Congress again blocks its pay raise.

Trump '20 Alternate Electors Vote in '24
Timothy Birdnow
You just have to love Trump!
13 accused of being 'fake electors' cast Electoral College votes for Trump
That's the way the Democrats would have done it, but the GOP usually begs off of such obvious thumb-in-the-eye tactics. But Trump thinks like a Democrat (which is why they hate him so) and this is what cows the opposition. Being humiliated usually deters an enemy.
In point of fact they weren't "fake" electors at all but the real ones; the fakes were the ones who signed off on Biden's Presidency when it was obvious he stole key states to win.

Drone Rangers
Timothy Birdnow
I may have just found the answer to the drones flying over Jersey and Pennsylvania, New York and Virginia! Or at least one of them, anyway.
In another budget-busting deal from our hero, the Rick Moranis of the GOP, House Speaker Mike "Tiny" Johnson,there is this provision:
My oh my! "Counter the threat from drones" right at a time when we have drones buzzing about like flies at an outhouse in midsummer! Does that coincidence strike anyone as, uh, fortuitous for them?
There is a move afoot to pass a kind of Patriot Act for drones, to ban their use by private citizens. Up until now governments were the only ones to hold the high ground, to control aerial surveillance and attack. Drones level that playing field, thus allowing some revulutionary army to compete with the bombers and fighter jets and other aerial technology. Can't have that!
So there you have it!

Ukrainian Terrorism
Timothy Birdnow
The Ukrainians have turned to pure terrorism in a desperate attempt to get the Russian jackboot off their throats.
Yes, they recruited an uzbecki to murder a Russian General with a bomb.
The Ukrainians actually had the terrorist film it so they could watch it live.
This war is hardening a whole generation of people and will lead to bitterness for a hundred years or more. And terrorism usually metastasizes into something that cannot be controlled. Now it's targeted against the Russians, but eventually it could well target the U.S. or Europe or Japan.
This war should never have been fought, and it should have been settled two years ago. We are going to pay dearly for it in years to come, mark my words.

Radioactive Material Found
Timothy Birdnow
Looks like the lost radioactive material that went missing in New Jersey has been found or allegedly so, according to James Dalzell, M.D., at the Nazha Cancer Center, the people who ordered the stuff in the first place. Or so the lying ABC News claims.
Probably but I wouldn't take this as the end of the story by any stretch. It wouldn't be the first time we've been lied to, especially about this.
The disappearance of this material (Germanium 68) led many to speculate the drones seen all over the Garden State may have been carrying detectors to seek out the lost material.
So one theory may be exploded (MAYBE) but there is still something going on that the lying government and lying media won't tell us. What?

Biden Paid Reuters to Dig Up Dirt on Musk
Timothy Birdnow
Well,well,well...
Biden Admin. Sent $300M to Reuters to 'Look into Musk and His Companies'?
Apparently Biden ordered 11 Federal agencies to dig up dirt on Musk,and they paid the 11 million to Reuters to find something they could use on the Billionaire.
This isn't America. Someone must be held accountable.
Reuters has received $1.56 billion in government contracts from the Biden junta.
Sicne when do journalists and news services work ffor the govenrment?

Millions to Taliban to ProtectWomen
Timothy Birdnow
I would call this insane but that would be an insult to the clinically insane everywhere.
Afghanistan Gets $122.5 Mil to Combat Gender-Based Violence ...
Didn't the geniuses at the State Department bother to read about the Taliban? Or the Koran? "Gender violence" is what they call Sharia. In Islam women are "unclean".
FTA:
"Uncle Sam has continued to fund Afghanistan’s education sector through six programs that cost $185.2 million even though the Taliban has issued decrees drastically limiting access to education for girls and women as well as restricting women’s ability to work and other basic freedoms. The extremist group has also infiltrated local NGOs delivering educational assistance by targeting and extorting Afghans who receive monetary support from U.S.-funded education programs under the guise of taxation. NGOs are also coerced to hire Taliban supporters or purchase goods from Taliban-owned companies.
There is no telling where the hundreds of millions of dollars for gender-based violence have gone, and the feds do not seem terribly concerned about it. Since October 2020, the U.S. has spent $237 million on 31 GBV-related programs in Afghanistan, with more than half of it—$122.5 million—doled out after the collapse of the Afghan government between September 2021 and October 2022. More than two years after the Taliban took over, the audit confirms that the U.S. government has not updated its strategies to assure the programs succeed under terrorist rulers. Prior to the abrupt U.S. military withdraw the former Afghan government with the help of American support established the Ministry of Women’s Affairs and enacted the Elimination of Violence Against Women criminalizing rape in Afghanistan for the first time and numerous other acts of violence against women, including forced marriage, underage marriage, and giving away women and girls as restitution for crimes. The Taliban has killed most of the reforms, according to human rights groups cited in the report. "For example, the Ministry of Women’s Affairs no longer exists, the 2009 Elimination of Violence Against Women law is largely unenforced or ignored, and nearly all 30 women’s shelters that were still open in September 2021 to support and care for GBV survivors are closed,” SIGAR writes.
Yet the U.S. taxpayer dollars keep flowing, even though the State Department’s Special Envoy for Afghan Women, Girls, and Human Rights confirms the Taliban wants to erase Afghan women and girls from society, prohibiting them from accessing education or working in most sectors, restricting freedom of movement, and effectively banning them from public. "Those who raise their voices to protest or resist risk harassment, detention, and violence,” the probe found."

Chinese Auto Makers Rule the World
Timothy Birdnow
China has become a top producer of cars, especially EV's, and until we get rid of these toy vehicles China will dominate the car market.
In the last 20 years China's grip on the auto market has risen from 1% to 39%.
Even Japan is suffering as the Chinese overtake their ev industry.
This is interesting in that In 2023, there were almost 294 million privately-owned motor vehicles registered in China, out of a population of 1.41 billion. So one out of four people own cars. But in the U.S., with a population of 339.4 million, there are 278,870,463 privately owned vehicles - So every 1.5 peoople own cars here. China's sales are predominantly based on exports.
Exports that may not survive the end of "green" dream cars.
Much of China's success stems from heavy subsidization by government, as well as government research and development. In short, it's artificial. Once Trump's tariffs kick in the Chinese grib on auto manufacturing will start to crumble.
China also enjoys the benefits of low-paid labor, and tax breaks. The labor costs are way belong American costs, which are driven by powerful union contracts. According to Reuters:
"A Reuters analysis of the estimated income included in recent job adverts from 30 auto firms showed hourly salaries of 14 yuan ($1.93) to 31 yuan."
So certainly auto workers there cannot afford to buy any of their own products.
By comparison the average U.S. auto worker earns
$49,095 per year with top pay averaging $62,500, according to Ziprecruiter. It takes 50 workers to build one car in the U.S. I was unable to find how many it takes in China, but it is probably more than that (it takes 100 in Japan) but who cares when you are paying them two bucks an hour and they are happy to get it?
I've said it before and I'll say it again; China is a paper tiger; it's success has been entirely built on the mistakes and assistance of the Western elites and it will fail spectacularly once the policies that provided China with what it needed are changed. If Trump squeezes China it will fold. Of course it might be most unpleasant in it's death throes.

Myorkas Wants States to Lead on Drones
Timothy Birdnow
Al My-dorkass (Myorkas) head of DHS, says states should be given the authority to shoot down drones.
The disgraced,impeached My-dorkass apparently doesn't realize that firefighters and other emergency workers frequently shoot down drones interfering with their work. Firefighters often just hose the darned nosey things.
And the states have the authority under article-1 section-10 clause-3 of the U.S. constitution:
"No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay."
What is this but "immanent danger" from a potential foreign power?
And if this is not a foreign power? Then it is a matter of policing and police have always had the authority to shoot at fleeing criminals.
Federal law allows governors to have control over airspaces around airports and other such facilities. They may not be legally allowed to shoot down a drone elsewhere,but when they impinge on airports they can take them out.
Myorkas is tossing out red herrings here to hide his own culpability in this matter.
Frankly, any governor who does shoot one of these down will be a hero and can look to win higher office. I am particularly thinking of Pennsylvania's Governor Josh Shapiro, who could hand himself the Democratic nomination by doing it. He would be unstoppable if he took one of these out (provided the Biden DOJ doesn't take HIM out first, that is).
You will notice most of the drone incidents have been in Democrat-controlled states like New York or Pennsylvania where the governors won't dare take such action. The drones in Florida seem to have stopped - before DeSantis could order them taken out. And Ohio is run by the appropriately named Mike Dewhine, er, Dewine, a RINO weenie. Only Virginia seems to be a Red state that is still experiencing a lot of drone visits while having a MAGA governor.
And don't tell me Myorkas doesn't know exactly who is sending these things and why! He's a fool but not THAT big a fool!
I'm sick to death of our government gaslighting us all the time. Trump is right; time to shoot these things down and tell the world what they are.

Dominoes Falling in Germany
Timothy Birdnow
More of the Trump Effect. Germany's chancellor is being forced out after a vote of no-confidence in the Bundestag, the German parliament.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz allegedly hoped for this outcome as it will allow him to sack all of his coalition partners and run again free of them. BUt I would argue this is in fact a coefficient of the worldwide MAGA revolution, that Scholz was so weak he had to take drastic action. Establishment leaders are suffering worldwide these days.
Elections will be held in late February.
Scholz is the leader of the Social Democratic Party (SPD),a leftist party. His coalition partners were the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and the Greens - both left leaning parties themselves.
The coalition crack-up came over a dispute with his finance minister (from the SPD) over how to fix the lousy German economy.
His Finance Minister -Christian Lindner - was proposing tax cuts, something anathema to the more socialistic FDP.
Schulz has dreadful public opinion numbers yet believes he can win re-election come February.
I believe his declining popularity is as much tied to the invasion of Middle Eastern colonists as it is to the terrible economy his policies have produced. The German public has had enough.
A poll back in September showed 73% of respondents support increased border controls, while 71% favor deporting the invaders.
Couple that with the fact Germany is paying to support all of these military-aged men (As of 2019 the foreign residents of Germany numbers 26% of the total inhabitants of Germany. And Muslims account for six percent of the German population at least (probably more as there are many illegal aliens in the country not counted by official census records). Germany spends a whopping 30% of it's GDP on welfare programs, and the aliens are sucking a lot of that up. Half of all German Muslims are unemployed.
Immigration is an economic issue. Yet Schulz wants more, more, more aliens.
The German People are now saying mach Deutschland wieder gross - MDWG. (That means Make Germany Great Again in Deutsch.)
The big lie has always been that the West needs more immigrants to cover for population decline, to "do the jobs westerners just won't do" and to pay into the generous social safety net so native born folks can enjoy a life of leisure. But it hasn't worked out that way at all. Instead we've made the immigrants the top of the food chain and the native born have increasingly been pushed into the shadows.
And whose idea were at work that required these immigrants in the first place? Paul Ehrlich and the Club of Rome created the population control movement that led to the western World's decline in population growth while at the same time the generous welfare and retirement benefits made for a lazy working class that required new people to come in and fill those jobs. Socialism made us all soft and then we have to pay for that by being erased from our own lands. In fact our leadership tells us to shut up and go away and die already so this new nation, an alien nation, may take over.
The Progressives did this to us, then blame us for resisting them over our own demise.
I think the German People are waking up, realizing their nation is in peril. Everyone needs to remember who and what they were before the Anschluss of Europe and this whole utopian idea of international socialism and world government took hold of our nations, like a nasty infection.
Milei in Argentina started the ball rolling, and Trump has driven it forward. Now the dominoes are starting to drop all over the world.
Is this the end of the oppression of the radical left? Perhaps. If it is the Will of God. But it will still require a big, big fight. It's hard for people to turn down free stuff and stand on their own two feet. Ask any trust fund kid.
But this is a good start. Well begun is half done, the saying goes. Maybe we've started something that cannot be stopped. At least we must hope as much.

Dem Judge Refuses to Toss Trump Conviction
Timothy Birdnow
Proof tthis was always about politics and not about justice or the law.
Breaking — Judge Merchan refuses to throw out Trump conviction based on ‘presidential immunity.’
Merchan keeps foot-dragging, knowing full well Trump would win on appeal. He doesn't want to appeal; he wants Trump stuck in limbo, with this hanging over him. He hopes that the political climate will become more favorable in a few years then he can throw the book at Trump as soon as he leaves office. Oh, and they can continue to call him a convicted felon.
So Trump has to keep wasting time and money on this thing while Merchan wastes taxpayer dollars. It's not costing Him anything!
I hope there are private investigators looking into this judge's own affairs. He needs to be taken to the woodshed one way or another.
Merchan knows full well this was intimately intertwined with Trump's duties as President of the United States and that he has no authority over this matter any longer. (Who would doubt that the "hush money" aka NdE was about protecting the dignity of the office of the President?) He also knows that Alvin Bragg created several new legal theories to turn what was at most a misdemeanor and a FEDERAL crime into a state violation. But Merchan refuses to drop this despite the fact he's undoubtedly facing a major spanking when this gets to a higher court. That is at least part of the reason he won't let it go to a higher court; he wants control of this.
In a sane state this man would be removed from office. We need to find proof of collusion with the Democrats, or corruption from him (something I'm sure is there - almost every Democrat has some dirt under their fingernails).
To quote Tony Montana in Scarface "if you want to play rough, say hello to my little friend!"
Proof tthis was always about politics and not about justice or the law.
Breaking — Judge Merchan refuses to throw out Trump conviction based on ‘presidential immunity.’

Trudeau Falling Down
Timothy Birdnow
Justin "Baby Doc" Trudeau is about to resign his post as his government is facing complete collapse after the Trump revolution in the U.S.
It's well past time the Trudeau's left the political scene in Canada.
This would not have happened had Trump not won last month. Trump has been the grain of sand around which the pearl of wisdom has formed inside the oyster of political life here and it is reverberating around the world. Just as the American revolution led to the fall of the monarchy in France and eventually most of the western world, so too is the election of Trump leading to the fall of the wokeocracy around the globe.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out of the igloo chum!

Cheney Referred for Prosecution
Timothy Birdnow
Liz Shady, er, Cheney has been referred for criminal prosecution for witness tampering!
While Merrick Garland will no doubt try to dismiss this, he won't be able to before Pam Bondi takes the reins.
It has come to light Cheney was texting with star witness Cassidy Hutchinson behind her lawyer's back (and the backs of the Trump attorneys) and likely suborning perjury.
No wonder the Dems were floating the idea of Biden issuing a pre-emptive pardon for the rabid ex-congresswoman.
I wonder who she will throw under the bus if she's facing jail time?
The whole J6 committee belongs behind bars; it was nothing but a frame up of Trump from the very beginning and that is now coming to light.

Drones Shut Down USAF Base
Timothy Birdnow
So now an Air Force base in Ohio had to close due to drone activities in restricted space.
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base was closed briefly according to the Dayton Daily News.
Still the old troll under the bridge in Washington does nothing.
We deserve answers, nay, we demand them!
Methinks China Joe got his orders from the Forbidden City.

Dems Pushing Popular Vote (Again)
Timothy Birdnow
Here they go again!
Senate Democrats introduce bill to end the Electoral College
Apparently they do not understand this is a Constitutional issue and can only be undone with a Constitutional amendment; Congress cannot legislate it.
No doubt this is just grandstanding,but it shows how undemocratic the "Democratic Party" really is.
The Founding Fathers set it up this way to maintain Federalism; the small colonies would never have joined the union had they been subject to a system that made them of no relevance in the election of the presidents. So the EC system was put in place. It was a good balance between empowering the small states but not giving them special powers.
Now,of course, Democrats own all the big cities and thus own whole states (like Illinois, which would be a purple state were it not for the behemoth of Chicago) and through them can simply manufacture votes as needed. If we had such a system Democrats would never, ever lose elections. They know that which is why they keep pushing for it.
Direct popular vote would give us one party rule. It is exactly what was meant by Ben Franklin when he said "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch"; Neither he nor any of the Founders wanted pure Democracy. They chose a republican form of government because it restricted the passions and appetites of the voters, tempering them with the "saucer" of representational government. There were many other examples of that; the indirect election of the Senate as well as the President, for instance (Senators were appointed by their state governments until the 17th Amendment) as well as the appointment of the Supreme Court by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. (Do notice it did not fall to the whole Congress as the House was seen as too volatile, being directly elected.) Also, voting was originally restricted to white male landholders only - no minorities, no women, no wage-earners. You had to have a stake in society, they believed, and the intelligence and education to make informed choices.
America has become increasingly intrusive into the affairs of its citizenry in an asymptotic relationship with the rise of participatory democracy here. That should come as no surprise. As is attributed to Alexander Fraser Tyler, Lord Woodhouselee:
"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury."
This echoed Aristotle, who warned that democracy inevitably degenerated into a "tyranny of special interests" or Plato who warned democracy was the final stage before a dictatorship.
Why? Because justice dies, property rights die, all restraints on government power and on corruption die as it becomes possible to reach into the pockets of your neighbors. Then it's every man for himself.
Promoting "democracy" in America is un-American and always has been. It was the Progressives who pushed for it because they saw a handy tool to creating the strongly interventionist government they wanted and saw that democracy would allow them to buy votes to build the new world order system they dreamed of creating.
And so the Democrats are again pushing this, and sadly many, if not most, people will accept the flawed arguments they make about "fairness" when it is grossly unfair and is a fundamental shift in the way our nation is supposed to work, a nation based on federalism, where the states are the primary political authority.
If we have a popular vote, by the way, we should have those votes counted by a federal bureaucracy, right? A UNIONIZED bureaucracy at that!
Complaints about cheating in the count in some places will lead to the establishment of a federal agency to count the vote, mark my words. And once the wolves have complete control of the sheep fold they will dine at their leisure.
Fortunately this isn't going to pass, and if it does it will be struck down by SCOTUS. Or so we would hope (you can never tell with those jokers).
Here they go again!

The Winter Comes
Timothy Birdnow
The Winter Comes
And while the clown just cries and lies
the enemy flies the friendly skies
a crown and robe is his disguise
the ship of state will soon capsize
the bore he moans, eats ice cream cones
the drones above just pick the bones
a chore well done, the Chinese phone
the old man's heart is hard as stone
but the winter has come the leaves have dropped
he now sits dumb, his scheme has popped
stopped by the drum who couldn't be topped
the reconning come, his time at a stop
now in the end has it been worth the cost?
can he defend all the virtues he lost?
his soul did he rend, carelessly tossed
now contend with the Devil, in his book be embossed
Wandering aimless, alone, sad, and lost.

Election Fraud
Timothy Birdnow
This from Powerline:
HOW MUCH VOTER FRAUD IN 2020?
There is no doubt that improprieties impacted the 2020 presidential election. Suppression of free speech by social media platforms, Zuckbucks, and above all the concealment of definitive evidence of Joe Biden’s corruption by the Dirty 51 and the press, very likely swung the election to Biden.
But how about outright voter fraud? We will never know how extensive the fraud was, since the essence of a successful fraud is that it is not detected, or at least not proved. But a look at the gross numbers can provide a meaningful context for the question.
Shortly after the election, someone created a graphic that got wide circulation on the internet and on social media. It showed the number of votes cast for the Democratic presidential nominee in recent cycles, and indicated a remarkable upsurge in votes in 2020, followed by a steep decline in 2024. Unfortunately, that chart was created while vote counting was still going on, so it was not accurate as to 2024. I decided to carry out a similar exercise, using the final numbers for 2024.
This chart shows the result of that analysis. It shows the total popular vote in each presidential election from 2004 through 2024. Votes for the Democratic candidate are in blue, for the Republican candidate are in red. I used FEC numbers for all the cycles before 2024; the FEC has not yet published data for this year’s race.
Read the rest.
