Unfortunate News From Timothy
Dana Mathewson (North Central States editor)
Timothy has just been hit with the terrible news that his beloved wife Cathy's cancer has returned, and that it is inoperable. And she will not be able to receive radiation treatments.
So we will just have to see what her oncologist has to offer from here on in.
As far as blog postings, I will try to see what I can provide. I will certainly be open to suggestions from our many commenters, especially Bill H and Mike (please, no commercial offerings).
And prayers are greatly appreciated, for Cathy and for Timothy!

Hilllary Thinks the White House is Hers

It’s not his house.
It’s your house.
And he’s destroying it. pic.twitter.com/YchFF5U1nO

"What destroyed it was your husband getting bl*w jobs in the Oval Office,”
"Go back to Costco and hock your fictional autobiography.”
James Woods
Maybe Hillary forgot about stealing plates and dinnerwear from the White House? Maybe she forgot about her husband selling stays in the Lincoln Bedroom for cash? If it is OUR house why did she seek to pofit from the Lincoln Bedroom?
Maybe she forgot hat when her people left they trashed the place, and even cut all the W's out of the keyboards (making it impossible to write their successor's name.)
If it isn't the President's house then why did you and your husband treat it like a bordello? Why did they trash the place when leaving?

Blessed are the peacemakers.
Trump Pulls Off ‘Impossible’ Peace Deal in Southeast Asia Without Firing a Shot
Thailand and Cambodia are now no longer at war thanks to Mr. Trump. But will the media give him any credit? Nope.

Everything the MSM Says is Bullshit
Timothy Birdnow
AMDG
I was listening to Meet the Press this morning and Kristin Welcher, er, Welker was in rare form. I am mindful of the quote from the movie My Cousin Vinny. Vinny (Joe Pesce) gets his opening statement in the arraignment of his cousin. He was exhausted, having gotten no sleep and his entire opening statement was "Everything tha guy said was bullshit. Thank you." (The judge, played by the great Fred Gwyn aka Herman Munster, ordered the entire opening statemtn stricken from the record with the exception of "thank you".)
Everything Welker and her liberal buddies said was bullshit.
For instance, she and her buddies claimed inflation is rising when in fact it
What Welker and company are confusing is inflation and deflation. They are pushing the idea we should have deflation, which is a completely different critter altogether. Deflation is actually more economically destructive than inflation as inflation makes borrowing cheaper and promotes economic growth. Deflation means money is worth more and it KILLS lending because who wants to lend money and have it payed back at a lower rate than you can get with direct investment? Better to wait and lend money when it is stable. In fact one of the great issues of the late 19th century was free silver. That was a demand by the public to coin silver; go on a bimetallic standard. The Populist Party championed free silver because the farmers and small businessmen needed credit and they wanted inflation to loosen up the lending market. William Jennings Bryan made his famous "cross of gold" speech where he said "Mankind shall not be crucified on a cross of gold".
At any rate that Trump has not actually triggered deflation (how could he when the budget is still largely the Biden budget?) they lie and say inflation is rising. It's not and even liberal NPR admits the fact.
This was as of August, and we have yet to get a full quarter in since.
From the article:
ABC News - no friend of the President - admitted inflation cooled in October.
The article says:
And why are mortgage rates climbing? Because under Joe Biden interest rates soared, and the Federal Reserve has been unwilling to cut rates. This means if you sell your home and try to upgrade your mortgage payment will skyrocket and so nobody is moving; everyone is waiting for the Fed to cut rates. So what is on the market has to be overpriced. Rates will fall as soon as Jerome Powell's term ends (Powell is doing what the head of the Second Bank of the United States tried to do to Andrew Jackson.)
And someone on the panel on Meet the Pest actually said all economic growth was caused by the rise of AI, which is nonsense and the NPR article makes that quite plain.
Furthermore, this is happening despite the apocalyptic claims BY THE SAME MEET THE PRESS and other media outlets that Trump's tariffs would lead to massive inflation. It hasn't.
Everyone also went on a tantrum about the ballroom Mr. Trump is building at the White House. No mention of the fact private funds are financing this. Nor that Presidents have changed the White House all the time. The swimming pool is now the press room. Obama built a basketball court. And FDR actually built the East Wing in the first place during the Depression. It's not all that historic; it mostly houses the First Lady's office.
Trump saw a real need; the White House hosts many formal events and a better ballroom was needed. He did it without spending a dime of taxpayer money. Welker knows that. But she lies, as do the rest of them, about the truth of this.
There were other issues that were discussed that were full of lies. They complained about the price of eggs and of coffee. Eggs skyrocketed because Biden slaughtered all the laying hens in fear of Avian Flu. How do you get pices down without hens? That takes time. And most coffee comes from Brazil. Brazil just lost most of her coffee crop. How is that Trump's fault? They would never blame Biden or Obama for such things. And don't think they don't know it. They do; they are just liars.
So, whenever you hear anything from the mainstream media alwyays think of Joe Pesci "everything they say is bullshit. Thank you."

Brandon Says Illegal Alien is a term like Slave
Timothy Birdnow
AMDG
Brandon Johnson loses it when confronted with the term "illegal alien".
From the Gateway Pundit:
Uh, Brandon, the LEGAL term for black people is not slaves. It doesn't take Noah Webster to deduce that fact. And nobody ever calls them that. At most one can say they are the descendants of former slaves - as are most people if you look back in history far enough.
But these people coming into the country are here illegally and they are aliens, so it is an entirely proper description of their status. Just because you don't like it doesn't give you the right to redefine language.
And how is it "racist"? He is assuming all illegal aliens are Hispanic or African. They are not. The term fits for an Irish or English person who violates immigration law. But no, it's always about "racism" with leftists because they can't make a rational argument otherwise and they need to control the language and the narrative.

Brandon Johnson loses it when confronted with the term "illegal alien".
From the Gateway Pundit:
Far-left Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson erupted in response to a reporter’s use of the term "illegal alien,” equating it to the historical dehumanization of Black Americans during slavery.
The meltdown came when a reporter pressed Johnson on the enormous taxpayer burden of providing shelter, healthcare, and other services to tens of thousands of migrants who have flooded the city since 2022, resources that have strained Chicago’s budget while crime ravages neighborhoods and essential services for legal residents are slashed.
"We don’t have illegal aliens. I don’t know if that’s from some sort of sci-fi message that you wish to add,” Johnson erupted, dismissing the term as fictional.
When the reported calmly noted that "illegal alien” is, in fact, the precise legal terminology enshrined in federal law, Johnson doubled down with a jaw-dropping comparison.
"Well, listen, the legal term for my people were slaves. You want me to use that term, too? Look, let’s just get the language right. We’re talking about undocumented individuals that are human beings. The last thing that I’m going to do is accept the type of racist, nasty language to describe human beings,” he said

Ice Up in Arctic

This from Tony Heller at Real Climate Science:
In 2007 and 2009, Al Gore predicted an ice-free Arctic in summer by 2014.
Gore predicts ice-free Arctic sea
Instead of ice-free, the Arctic minimum this year was up 36% since 2012.

Anniversay of Hastings
Timothy Birdnow
AMDG
Better late than never!This goes back to the old Birdblog days, 20 years ago:
The Anniversary of the Battle of Hastings 1066
Throughout history certain days and events have been momentous, and the future often depends on the outcome of single occurrences. The battle of Marathon, Caesar`s crossing the Rubicon, Pope Leo facing down the ``Scourge of God``Attila, Charles Martel`s victory over the invading Saracens at Poitiers (or Tours), Washington`s victory at Yorktown, etc. are all examples of events which changed history. Oftentimes nobody understands the significance of the event. Today marks the anniversary of one such turning point, one which few know much about; it was on this day, October 14, in the Year of Our Lord 1066 that William, Duke of Normandy, destroyed the English army at the battle of Hastings and set the English speaking peoples on the path which would lead them to rule the world.
Our story begins in Roman times with the conquest of Britain by Caesar. The Britons were a Celtic people who lived on the southern half of the Island. Because of their proximity to Gaul they had cultural and trade contacts with the Continent, and so were a bit more cosmopolitan than their Highlander cousins. Eventually Rome cast covetous eyes on Britain, and Caesar launched the first of several invasions of the island. The Britons put up a half-hearted resistance, and took easily to life as a Roman province. (Rome was never able to subdue the Scots and Pics, nor the Irish. In fact, the Emperor Hadrian built a giant wall to keep the Scots from raiding Roman territory, much like the Chinese had done to keep the nomadic tribes out of the Middle Kingdom.) Times were good, and Britain became an amalgamation of Celtic and Roman culture.

Joy Reid a Brain She Need
Timothy Birdnow
AMDG
We all know Joy Reid is a low watt bulb but here she takes the cake.
Yes, she actually did say that it's a disgrace Trump is "using taxpayer dollars to build a ballroom while people are missing their financial aid checks".
If she had bothered to even do the most casual of research she would know that no taxpayer money is involved; this is being done with private donations.
FTA:
How stupid is this woman? It's one thing to privately grumble stuff like this but to shout it to the world?
Actually, she's hoping to fool a few low-information types by openly declaring this, knowing there are some who won't bother to find out the truth. It's how the media has long operated.

But no money for you. No money for food stamps, people are gonna run out of food stamps, those are not gonna be renewed. It’s gonna create a crisis of hunger across this country.

Abrego Garcia Living Dangerously
Timothy Birdnow
This is hilarious!
Trump Admin Plans to Deport 'Maryland Man' Abrego Garcia to Liberia Within Days
There was a movie back in the nineties starring Michael Keaton called "Johnny Dangerously". It was a spoof about mobsters in the Zucker fashion (like Airplane or The Naked Gun). There was one mobster who was the enemy in the movie and he had a thick accent that was indeterminate and nobody could understand him. They did the spinning newspaper thing to update the audience and one headline was "Maroni deported to Sweden: says he's not even from there". That's what this makes me think of.

The Corrupt ABC
Timothy Birdnow
Here is how you do propaganda. You dress it up as a news story, provide everything you can think of as exculpatory and neglect to explain the other side, and use unnamed sources.
Letitia James is the sitting Attorney General in New York State and the prosecutors who were investigating her were doing so under a Democratic Governor and in a deep blue state with a then Democratic Administration in power in Washington. This fairly screams corruption.
FTA:
1.A grand jury indicted James, not the Trump Administration, and they did so by agreeing there was ample evidence to support charges against her.
2.The degree of profit is immaterial; it is the fact of fraud that is the critical point. And you will notice they say she only made $800 IN THE FIRST YEAR while completely ignoring subsequent years. The fact is a mortgage is a long-term proposition and the first year(s) the borrower is paying all interest. The fact is James is a lawyer and knew exactly what she was doing. If not she has no business practicing law, much less being the AG. Would she have accepted this excuse from Trump? Did ABC news?
3.The possibility of not getting a conviction is also a red herring. They didn't even try because she was one of the Establishment and they assume they can play by their own rules. A grand jury thought there was enough evidence to prosecute, and this in a dark blue area. But it's not the job of prosecutors to decide who gets prosecuted or who does not when there is evidence that is good enough for a grand jury. Why didn't they take it to the grand jury in the first place? Anybody?
In typical leftist fashoion the article turns to the attack:
Why wouldn't Trump want to fire a guy who was a holdover from the previous Administration, you know, the Adminsitration that tried to frame him, when this prosecutor simply tried to spike the ball here?
Yes, Trump installed a better prosecutor to handle the case, but remember it still had to go to a grand jury.
One must remember James campaigned on a highly unethical scheme to "get Trump" even while she was swearing to uphold JUSTICE. She never cut him any slack, and did not even play remotely fair. She isn't a principled prosecutor but a partisan hatchetwoman and why does she think she deserves fair treatment now? Live by the sword die by it.
There is nothing exculpatory here. This is just a corrupt political machine that protected it's own and a willing accomplice by a major media network. It's disgraceful.

FTA:
Prosecutors who investigated New York Attorney General Letitia James for possible mortgage fraud found evidence that would appear to undercut some of the allegations in the indictment of James secured earlier this month -- including the degree to which James personally profited from her purchase of the property -- according to a memo summarizing the state of the case in September, sources told ABC News.
Prosecutors who led the monthslong investigation into James' conduct concluded that any financial benefit derived from her allegedly falsified mortgage would have amounted to approximately $800 in the year she purchased the home, sources said.
The government lawyers also expressed concern that the case could likely not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt because federal mortgage guidelines for a second home do not clearly define occupancy, a key element of the case, according to sources.

A grand jury thought there was enough evidence to prosecute, and this in a dark blue area. But it's not the job of prosecutors to decide who gets prosecuted or who does not when there is evidence that is good enough for a grand jury. Why didn't they take it to the grand jury in the first place? Anybody?
In typical leftist fashoion the article turns to the attack:
Prosecutors detailed the findings to the previous U.S. attorney, Erik Siebert, in an internal Department of Justice memo summarizing the status of the case early last month, according to sources familiar with its contents. Siebert was ousted by President Donald Trump last month after refusing to seek charges against James amid what critics call Trump's campaign of retribution against his perceived political foes.
"I want him out," Trump said the day before Siebert was ousted, telling reporters that it was because Virginia's two Democratic senators supported his nomination. Of James, Trump said, "It looks to me like she is very guilty of something, but I really don’t know.
"I want him out," Trump said the day before Siebert was ousted, telling reporters that it was because Virginia's two Democratic senators supported his nomination. Of James, Trump said, "It looks to me like she is very guilty of something, but I really don’t know.
Why wouldn't Trump want to fire a guy who was a holdover from the previous Administration, you know, the Adminsitration that tried to frame him, when this prosecutor simply tried to spike the ball here?
Yes, Trump installed a better prosecutor to handle the case, but remember it still had to go to a grand jury.
One must remember James campaigned on a highly unethical scheme to "get Trump" even while she was swearing to uphold JUSTICE. She never cut him any slack, and did not even play remotely fair. She isn't a principled prosecutor but a partisan hatchetwoman and why does she think she deserves fair treatment now? Live by the sword die by it.
There is nothing exculpatory here. This is just a corrupt political machine that protected it's own and a willing accomplice by a major media network. It's disgraceful.

A Nazi in Maine Senate Race
Timothy Birdnow
So who are the Nazis? This guy isn't MAGA.
Maine Senate Candidate Graham Platner Covered Tattoo Resembled Nazi Symbol
Notice how this ABC artcle tries desperately to call it a "skull and crossbones" tattoo when in fact it is the same tattoo sported by concentration camp guards in Nazi Germany and by the SS.
And Platner says it represented "who I thought I was" when he was a soldier, but what is the skull and crossbones? It is a symbol of death and of piracy. So he saw himself as a murderous pirate, did he?
This IS a big deal because it speaks to his inner beliefs and thoughts. And were this a Republican the media would be blowing a head-gasket about now. But this is largely being yawned at by them.
Platner states:
"The Establishment" is making stuff up? I hate to tell him but he and his ilk ARE the Establishment, or near enough anyway.
An I doubt he knows what Fascism is, or Naziism either. As for anti-semitism, that has been a part of the movement he largely champions for some time now.
Platner was endorsed by Bernie Sanders and has been found to have called himself a Communist online, as well as promoted violence and open rebellion.
But, like, he said he was sorry so that makes it all better.
One wonders where all these Communists are coming from, and how such a dude could be a Marine in the first place.

"I have lived a life dedicated to antifascism, antiracism and anti-Nazism. I think that racism and antisemitism are a long scourge on our society and a long scourge on our politics. I think it has no place in our world. For that reason, I have gotten it covered up," Platner said in the Instagram video, lifting his shirt to reveal his new design of a Celtic knot with dogs -- "because my wife Amy and I have two wonderful dogs that we love a lot."
"This far more represents who I am now, than even the skull and crossbones did, which I thought that it was," he said.
"This has come up because the establishment is trying to throw everything it can at me. It is terrified of what we are trying to build here,” he continued.

Oil Lang Syne
Timothy Birdnow
I've said this all along. The way to defeat the Russians and end the war is to get a drastic drop in oil pices.
Low Oil Prices are Hurting Russia
If Biden had taken steps to increase oil production Russia would have long sinc ebeen defunded. Russia's entire economy is based on control of energy. Without it they go broke quickly.

NY Fines Landlord for Encouraging Vigilance
Timothy Birdnow
AMDG
New York has fined an apartment building owners $5,000 for "discrimination" in displaying posters urging residents to inform ICE on illegals in the building.
Yes, they really did that. And Kathy "hochum" Hochul praised the decision.
I suppose next they'll be fining building owners for posting "see something say something" signs to fight terrorism or asking residents to call the cops if there is drug dealing or organized criminal activity on the premises.
This is patently illegal and New York must be held accountable.
According to the article:
Since when is it the business of government to "work to call out all forms of hate, bias, and discrimination"? That is not a power expressly granted to government by our Constitution and in fact people have a right to be hateful and bigoted and biased if they so choose, provided they do not interfere with the civil rights of others. Illegal aliens are not here without permission and are breaking the law and if thise manager wanted to encourage other residents to call in the authorities he had every right. They defrauded him and his employers, after all, by moving in either claiming legal status or just by squatting. He did not name specific names, or cut off their utilities, or anything else. He merely asked residents to help keep illegals off of his property.
The Left is always telling us we can't legislate morality when conservatives pass laws rooted in Christian moral beliefs. Things like sodomy laws are largely disappeared. The Blue Laws which closed stores on Sunday are gone. We weren't able to t on condoms and have sex, and abstinence training has been bitterly opposed in schools. But here we have them imposing THER morality on us, demanding we ignore the legal status of aliens (which is the law of the land) and punishing those who want to help enforce a law duly passed by Congress.
It's insane. But then New York has gone stark-raving mad.
They double down:
Is it legal to discriminate based on things like selling drugs out of an apartment? Why is drug dealing a crime but not illegal aliens squatting on a poperty of hanging out on one legal? If a guy was selling cigarettes on the property the state would probably have given the landlord a medal for turning them in. And remember when New York City and Michael Bloomberg were busy making it illegal to sell large sodas? THAT was a heinous crime to them but being an illegal alien isn''t.
Sadly this was a settlement so it's over and done.

"Let us be clear: New York remains committed to protecting anyone who is discriminated against or harassed because of their national origin, citizenship, or immigration status," Human Rights Commissioner Denise M. Miranda said in a statement Wednesday.
"It is unacceptable, unconscionable, and illegal for housing providers to discriminate against their tenants simply because of where they are from," she added. "We will continue our work to call out all forms of hate, bias, and discrimination across our state.
