Now Only Two Sexes (like it Used to Be)
Timothy Birdnow
It's now official; there are only two sexes.
Trump signed the order recognizing only male or female.
Sanity is being restored to America.

Biden Pardons May Be Good News
Timothy Birdnow
Some analysts are saying the pardons issued by Joe Biden could come back to bite him in a big way as the recipients are no longer protected by the 5th Amendment and thus can be compelled to testify in any investigation.
I argued that would be the case when Hunter was pardoned.
federal litigation attorney Jesse Binnall wrote on the website formerly known as Twitter:
The pardons are actually great news. No one who was just pardoned will be able to refuse to testify in a civil, criminal, or congressional proceeding based upon the 5th Amendment.
And let’s just be realistic. Most of these disgusting individuals would probably have to be…
— Jesse R. Binnall (@jbinnall) January 20, 2025
How many of these people were turn on the junta that was the Biden Administration? I don't know; their lives may be in jeapardy and they may prefer jail time to a death sentence (Remember Susan MacDougall went to prison rather than testify against Clinton.)
Any way you look at it these creepy people are forever tainted, and worse, forever will have to look over their shoulder. They will never walk down a street alone at night. Fear is now their constant companion.
Helluva price to pay for political power.

"You're fired!"
Timothy Birdnow
Trump publicly fired four top Biden appointees with multiple more to follow.
And he's suspended the security clearances[/lin] of the 51 intel chiefs who signed the letter saying Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian disinformation.
Tired of winning yet?

Trump Pardons J6ers
Timothy Birdnow
Turnabout is fair play!
Trump Pardons Nearly All Jan 6 Defendants
Actually it's not; these were political prisoners, plain and simple while Biden pardoned people who clearly engaged in criminal conspriacies. Taking selfies in the Capitol does not equate in any way, shape, or form, to hijacking the law and suborning perjury and colluding with prosecutors to destroy a political opponent or tampering with evidence and witnesses.
Trump just set things right - Biden set things most definitely wrong.

Yes NBC - Americans Want Mass Deportations
Timothy Birdnow
This morning on NBC the host said polls show the pubolic opposes mass deportations. Well, how does she explain this?
Yes, this poll showed the top priority of many Americans is deporting the illegals who invaded America.
Oh, they also tried to lay TikTok at Trump's feet, as if Biden hadn't signed the bill then refuse to enforce it.

Biden Pardons Rest of Family
Timothy Birdnow
Joe Biden may well be the most corrupt President in history. He has just pardoned five of his family members pre-emptively, including his brother James and sister Valerie Owens, Francis W. Biden, John T. Owens, and Sarah Jones Biden.
He doesn't seem to have pardoned himself though, and thus he's open for prosecution.
This on top of his pardon of political operatives on the J6 Committee, as well as Anthony Fauci and Gen. Mark Milley (Vanilli).
In a statement of astounding lack of self-awareness Mr. Biden stated:
"I believe in the rule of law, and I am optimistic that the strength of our legal institutions will ultimately prevail over politics. But baseless and politically motivated investigations wreak havoc on the lives, safety, and financial security of targeted individuals and their families. Even when individuals have done nothing wrong and will ultimately be exonerated, the mere fact of being investigated or prosecuted can irreparably damage their reputations and finance,"
??? HE is the one who started this lawfare business, not the incoming President. HE is the one who colluded with the FBI to hide the Hunter Biden laptop story, then tried to get Hunter a sweetheart deal letting him off the hook. (He has since pardoned Hunter.) It was he who promoted "baseless and politically motivated investigations" on political rivals.
He worries about their reputation if not pardoned. I hate to tell Mr. Biden but taking a pardon is an admission of guilt. They are all free to reject the pardon and fight it out in a court of law. But they won't do that.
And Mr. Biden never extended such courtesy to those who opposed him. What of people who simply entered the Capitol on J6? He had the DOJ pursue them until the very end - no pardons for anyone, no matter how tame their actions that day! But he'll let his own family off the hook because he worries it will hurt their reputations. What about the reputations of the J6ers?
Biden is a foul man who will get his if not in this life in the next.

The Inaugural
Timothy Birdnow
"The Golden Age of America Starts Now"
Some random thoughts on Trump's inaugural.
The Democrats looked cowed and they even applauded - something I never expected to see from them over Trump. Yes, many looked sour (especially Barack obama, who scowled through the whole thing) but there were no outburst nor stony silence. They really did seem beaten. But that won't last.
The crowd gave a standing ovation to Martin Luther King, and applauded in like manner the closing the border, but sandwiched between the two was a statement by Trump honoring God and God only received tepid, polite response. America's ruling class has it's head firmly inserted in it's rectal area.
Trump seemed tired to me, and I don't doubt he is.
Trump did give a great speech, even though he went a bit long and had too much of a laundry list. He was positive and upbeat and said America specializes in doing the impossible. Inspirational.
Trump proposed going to Mars as the next step in America's return to greatness. I have opposed this before here at the Aviary and with good reason; we don't have the skills yet to do this and astronauts on the surface of Mars could well be killed by a surprise solar flare or meteor strike. The Martian atmosphere is too thin to stop radiation, and it's too thin to stop meteors, which are also much thicker that close to the asteroid belt than around Earth's neighborhood. I favor a permanent, manned colony on the Moon; we can work out how this is done on the Moon, where we can just go home if it fails. Mars is for keeps and we don't know how we'll fare. Oh, and just showing up for exploration purposes will cost a huge fortune and we won't really get anything we can't get now with probes and landers. The purpose of going to Mars is to build a colony, and only then can we do in-depth research. Mars is too far for any commercial benefit. The Moon is quite different and we can exploit it for resources as well as use it for research. There's money on the Moon.
I want to go to Mars someday but now is not the time. We just don't have the skills.
Trump verified he plans to change the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. I don't like it; the name predates the founding of the u.S. and I support tradition. He's changing Denali back to Mt. McKinley though and I DO support that. The Indians may have called it Denali but we've always known it as McKinley, and if the Indians want to keep calling it Denali it's their right but they can't expect us to bow to their wishes.
Trump's call for retaking the Panama Canal is a fine idea too. I wish our side would remember the actual history of Panama; it was part of Columbia until the U.S. came and built the canal, at which point Panama rebelled against rule by Columbia and became independent - with the assistance of the U.S. Navy which kept Columbian ships from moving troops there. So they owe their entire country to us, not just the canal. And we built it, and it should always have been ours. This was one of Jimmy Carter's many idiotic mistakes (like supporting the Ayatollah Khomeini) and never should have happened.
I am ambivalent about Trump's new agencies (like the External Revenue Service); we need FEWER agencies all around and something like the ERS could very easily be co-opted by the Democrats to abuse companies with international business. I would add almost everyone does international business these days; our 401K plans and other retirement instruments all invest in foreign counties. This thing may be solely to collect tariffs now, but how long before the Democrats subvert it and use it to go after honest Americans who just own a few stocks in foreign countries?
Trump's call for a restoration of justice to America was his finest moment in many ways and we must all hope he is able to actually do that. Not sure he can; the Deep state's tentacles are embedded in the system so deeply Trump may not be able to stop it.
A few other observations. The military choir was full of children it seemed. I know I'm getting older now but the girls singing looked like teenagers. I don't doubt they are; the age of the military has decreased over the years to where so many are fresh out of high school. Couple that with the fact we don't have fighting soldiers but paper pushers and paraders and, yes, choir girls, means they LOOK young because they haven't had to face any real stress. We are defended by Valley Girls and high school debate teams.
Carrie Underwood did a fine job of singing America the Beautiful. She only mucked it up once or twice with rilles and trills (which is what you do when you can't sing, but is now considered de rigoueur since so many stars CAN'T sing.) There was an opera singer who did the National Anthem and he blew her away, too. When a person can actually sing the Star Spangled Banner without relying on cheap tricks to hide the octave changes you have to be lost in admiration.
At any rate the inaugural was great, and it truly felt historic.
God bless Donald Trump and God Bless the U.S.A.!

5th Circuit Strikes Down DACA (Again)
Timothy Birdnow
The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has just declared DACA unconstitutional setting up a challenge at the U.S. Supreme Court.
DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals)was the illegal program devised by Barack Hussein Obama to allow many illegal aliens to remain in the country and vote Democrat when they reached age 12 or so. It has been tied up in the courts for years.
The Fifth Circuit ruled DACA illegal but stopped an injunction against it by a Texas court.
DACA was never even an executive order but just a MEMO by Janet Napolitano, yet SCOTUS overruled the 5th along partisa lines and said Trump had to go through the formal rules procedure. It will be going back to SCOTUS, although the Supreme Court is differnt now than it was.
We shall see.
Any way you slice it DACA was merely a dirty trick to subver U.S. immigration law.

Pope Francis Calls Trump a "Disgrace"
Timothy Birdnow
Pope Francis the Apostate dares to call Donald Trump's plan to mass deport the 12 plu MILLION illegal aliens in this country a "disgrace".
This from the man who has just announced he would allow openly gay priests in complete violation of Church law and the Word of God Himself.
I've gone through the multiple passages in the Bible over homosexuality before; it is referred to as "an abomination" in multiple places in the Bible, but Francis now allows open homosexuals into the priesthood because he knows better than God, apparently.
This same Pope said priests could 'bless' homosexual marriages too.
This is the guy who only assumed his position by forcing out the aged prior Pope in what can only be considered a coup in the Vatican - and has since fired any Bishop or Cardinal who opposes him or may oppose him and replacing them with lackeys. This from the guy who actually excommunicated an archbishop (Carlo Maria Viganò) for opposing him.
Francis also allows for open trans people to come into the Church without repenting - and that is clearly forbidden in 1Corinthians 6:9:
"Know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate...Shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven."
Get it? Got it? Good!
And Francis has made his mission the "poor" and is famous for having eschewed the official mansion supplied to him by the Church in Argentina. But what did he do? Did he actually go live in a homeless shelter? No; he used Church money to get a swank apartment in a wealthy neighborhood in Buenos Aires. He didn't live in a hovel.
Who is shameful? Hey Francis, maybe you should reread John 8:7-11, you know, that part about not casting stones.
God Himself created nations and made it quite clear He intended them to exist. We have every right to control our borders and kick out those who have come here in violation of our laws.
Jesus said in John 10:1:
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber."
Seems to me Jesus was giving the very perfect argument against illegal immigration and that makes it quite clear we have no moral responsibility to take in anyone who just happens to walk across our border, any more than a person must allow someone to just walk into their home and start living there rent-free.
I notice Francis doesn't have illegal aliens living with him in the Vatican.
The man is a total disgrace and an Antipope who cannot leave soon enough. He has done irreparable harm to the Church and the whole world.

Infuriating Media Coverage
Timothy Birdnow
I've had the coverage of the inauguration on in the background this morning and just exploded, venting to my wife about the coverage on NBC. I detest and loath the lying hypocritcal "news" media for the partisan hacks they are.
It was nothing but a screed against Trump from beginning to end.
They kept mentioning spots in the Capitol and always added "her was where J6 riots invaded the Capitol" or "here is where J6 rioters attacked police" in a kind of running tour of J6 sins. No mention, of course, of the actual facts - like the only person to die of violence was a protester, shot in cold blood by an incompetent Capitol Police Officer. No mention of WHY this riot happened, or that others had happened on the very same day when Trump showed up to take his oath back in 2017.
They also had the gall to attack Trump for using executive orders! Biden did nothing but sign executive orders for two years or better after Trump left office (which he did despite claims he wasn't going to leave). Tom Cotton was trying to explain E.O.'s and some of the ones Trump was going to sign and some media Puta kept interrupting him, quite rudely, saying "nuh-uh" over everything Cotton tried to say. This gal went on and on about how "refugees" had a legal right to be here because of "international law" and cut Cotton off when he started to rebut her.
I could no longer stand it so I switched to Salem News and listened to Mike Gallagher. Gallagher showed a clip of Trump dancing with the Village People to YMCA; hilarious and charming and the media of course would never dream of touching this.
Gallagher then sent my blood pressure up again by informing the audience that Biden has pardoned the J6 Committee for their crimes. We knew it was coming but it still was infuriating! But apparently Biden didn't pardon Jack Smith or Merrick Garland or Christopher Wray, or so says Gallagher. But this means Schiff, Cheney, Zoey Lofgren, Pete Aguilar, all of the plotters who tried their best to frame Trump are going to walk away scott-free! No mention was made of Nancy Pelosi, who may need a pardon herself.
Biden pardoned Anthony Fauci. Now why do you suppose Fauci needed a a pardon?
These people may walk on this but they will have to answer for it in the end one way or another. I tremble when I think about them standing before the Great Eternal Judge! But we would all like to see justice done now.
Swift justice is all that stops this kind of thing. Delayed or deferred justice encourages others to do it.
At any rate I chose to skip coffee this morning (I can't drink it every day) and now am thinking of changing my mind on this. Or maybe I should think about something stronger today. I don't have orange juice around but some sweet and sour and leftover bourbon from New Years...
Don't judge me; I suspect this is the breakfast being enjoyed by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris this morning...

Biden, Dems Scheme to Ram ERA/Abortion DownOur Throats
Timothy Birdnow
Uh, it failed Joe...
Biden nailed with mockery and contempt over absurd attempt to declare 28th Amendment to the Constitution ]/link]
"Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified," read the missive attributed to Biden. "The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex."
Actually there was a move to revive this monstrosity during Biden's tenure of office by saying they merely had to get a couple of states to authorize it; they claimed there was no expiration date on the original amendment. So all you have to do to change the Constitution is get as many states as possible to approve it then wait and pick them off over decades?
Thank God for Phyllis Schlafley, who managed to help kill this thing. BTW Schlafley's nephew Dan was my counselor in college; he was the Russian history professor at St. Louis University. Oh, and his brother Tom founded the St.Louis Brewery aka Schlafleys, the first microbrewery in Missouri and still one of the largest in the state.
A Federal judge ruled states acted too late to ratify it now, as the deadline for passing it expired (in 2020 the final state needed to pass it did, but this was decades after the amendment was first voted on and well pst the deadline.) The Federal archivist has to register it as passed, and if he does then it becomes an amendment, although there will be a court challenge, no question.
Anyway, Biden is simply declaring victory over the NRA and hoping people believe it and act accordingly. No doubt some Democrat-appointed judges will try to implement it as law. Everyone is laughing at Biden as a senile fool, but I suspect something more nefarious is happening here.
They are trying to ram this piece of crap down America's throats in the waning days of the Biden Administion. The National Archivist is appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate, but has no fixed term, and can stay in office as long as he cares to do so. On August 13, 2022, President Joe Biden nominated Colleen Joy Shogan, who currently controls the records. I think she's going to confirm the ERA as an official amendment to the Constitution. Biden knew what he was saying.
There is talk afoot about using the ERA as Constitutional grounds for circumventing the Supreme Court ruling on abortion.
This is going to wind up being up to the courts, make no mistake about it.
Be warned.
But they are the defenders of "democracy" they tell us.
Uh, it failed Joe...
Biden nailed with mockery and contempt over absurd attempt to declare 28th Amendment to the Constitution ]/link]
"Today I'm affirming what I have long believed and what three-fourths of the states have ratified," read the missive attributed to Biden. "The 28th Amendment is the law of the land, guaranteeing all Americans equal rights and protections under the law regardless of their sex."

Germans May Invade Ukraine
Timothy Birdnow
This would be the beginning of WWIII.
Germany may send troops to Ukraine.
Of all the NATO countries the Russians hate and fear Germany more than any. There is a centuries-long antipathy between Germans and Russians, going back to the invasion by the Teutonic Knights in 1242 in response to a call for help from Russia to Christendom to defend against the Mongols. (This was the famous Battle on the Ice when Alexander defeated the Germans on the frozen Neva river and thus came to be called Alexander Nevsky.) The Germans have invaded on other occasions too, most notably during WWII when the Russians lost roughly 24-27 MILLION people! Letting Germans go into Ukraine is a non-starter for them, and they will use atomic sterilization to rid themselves of the Teutonic "infection".
The war-mongering Ruling Class types have gone batcrap crazy.
Russians are paranoid, but with reason. They have never had national barriers to protect them and thus have always had to think about any nation near their borders as an existential threat. Part of this invasion of Ukraine stems from fear of NATO and the U.S. sniffing around their border. When we had troops in Afghanistan and in Iraq we had them completely encircled, something that made them terribly nervous. The Russians invaded Georgia in 2008 for much the same reasons; they feared Georgia was going to join NATO and that couldn't be allowed. (Yes, there are other reasons, such as the gas and oil pipelines, but we're talking about the Russian psychology and the average person's support for military action. If the public hated what Putin is doing he wouldn't do it, even if he IS an autocrat.) I would add the U.S./NATO has deployed missile defense systems in the whole Warsaw Pact countries, and we've even "invaded" the old Soviet Union in the Baltic states. Russia feels like it's in the grips a a giant anaconda.
At any rate it would be very bad to have American or British troops in Ukraine, but Germans are just not going to be tolerated. I'm pretty sure Trump understands this. I hope he does.
The Russians will do anything to keep Germany away from their borders. Anything.

Hell Hounds
Timothy Birdnow
This is what a willful refusal to enforce the law winds up doing.
A deaf 62 year old woman was mauled to death by dogs in her back yard here in St. Louis, and her husband was seriously injured trying to fight them off. The dogs were not strays, but belonged to an irresponsible neighbor.
Why do I blame this on lack of law enforcement? Simple; the neighbor had these hell-hounds to protect him or herself from criminals. When the law refuses to protect people they have to take matters into their own hands. That means guns and, yes, vicious dogs.
Crime has skyrocketed in the last few years here in The 'Lou because of Black Lives Matter and the election of both Kim Gardner, their poster child prosecutor, and Tishuara Jones, who has never openly embraced BLM but is likely a fellow traveler. (Her father was Virvus Jones, a corrupt city pol who went to prison for corruption.) Couple their misrule with the fact the City got control of the police department (the state had maintained control of it and so it never became PC or corrupt) and we had the perfect storm.
But the City is reporting fewer crimes over the last couple of years. Why?
You know why; the city just stopped reporting the crimes. SLPD, now run by the Democrat establishment here, has no interest in reporting crimes. For that matter they had little interest in stopping or even responding to them.
At any rate crime is still rampant in this city and people have to take steps to protect themselves.
Also, the city is emptying out and so there are fewer atttractions for criminals.
This dovetails with the FBI claims that crime went down across America under Biden. It did no such thing; it just stopped being reported.
Be that as it may St. Louis has long had an animal problem. Years ago a child was killed and eaten by a pack of wild dogs on the north side (the hood). All of the vacant buildings attract homeless canines.
When I worked in real estate I would step very gingerly in some areas out of fear of dogs. You never knew.
At any rate St. Louis is too busy spending their taxpayer's money on frivolity and not really concerned with public safety. Some dog-catchers would be nice (although that wouldn't have prevented this tragedy.)
I've always said this place is going to the dogs. Now we are in the doghouse apparently.

Is NSC Being Taken Over by Neocons?
Timothy Birdnow
Are neocons taking over the NSC? Tablet Magazine thinks so but Mike Waltz disagrees.
I don't know but I certainly hope we aren't getting the same tired old swamp rats back into positions of influence.
I am not an isolationist by any stretch. In fact I may be the last person in America to think the Iraq invasion was not a terrible thing. But enough is enough;we have no clear definitions of our goals or our exit strategies in most of these conflicts. Usually we have no direct national interest involved, but are merely working the will of Europe or the big plutocrats in the international Ruling class. It's got to stop.
I am worried about staffing and have been all along. Trump did a dreadful job of it first time around, and while I suspect he's going to do better (his picks have been pretty good, by and large, this time) I fear the second-tier guys may be the same Burmese Pythons squeezing the life out of us.
So I truly hope Waltz is right and the report is wrong. We need SOME neocons, certainly, to provide a balanced viewpoint,but they need to be a minority. What America needs right now are people who will think outside of the box. The Cold War is long over.

Newsom Bragged of Draining the Reservoirs
Timothy Birdnow
Don't forget; Gavin "Smokey" Newsom bragged about reducing California's water supply not so long ago.
Now folks are using bottled water and beer and milk to try to extinguish the blaze since the hydrants are all empty. Great job Smokey the Hair Gel!

The Big Lie
Timothy Birdnow
So Jonathan Capehart, MSNBC host, says Americans have "given up on democracy and embraced authoritarianism".
David Brooks, the alleged "conservative" who invariably agrees with Democrats on almost every issue, agreed, saying the jobs were all coming back thanks to Joe Biden and that his job was to "preserve democracy" and resist "totalitarianism", neither of which are in the job description of the President as far as my copy of the Constitution suggests.
We don't have a democracy; we have a constitutional republic with limitations and a democratic component. Oh, and that component was originally only applicable to the House of Representatives and was limited to white male landholders. So where is Brooks and Dumb (Capehart) getting his information from?
I would call these two idiots but that is an insult to idiots everywhere.
Might I remind Brooks and Dumb that it was Joe Biden who implemented a government agency to suppress free speech, and in fact his own FBI demanded that social networks suppress free speech, going so far as to delcare Hunter Biden's laptop story "Russian fake news" when they had it in their possession all along? This was election tampering. How is THAT defending democracy?
I would remind them that it was Mr. Biden who sicked the DOJ on everyone present at the Capitol riot on January 6, and not just violent rioters but people invited in by the Capitol Police (as video proves) who merely walked around and took pictures. Some are doing DECADES in jail. These were political opponents. How is THAT "defending democracy"?
I would remind the boobie brothers that they launched a series of legal attacks on Mr. Trump from multiple angles, and we now have proof there was coordination among the various legal authorities in New York, Georgia, and with Mr. Smith in Florida. How is THAT "defending democracy"?
I would remind them of the sweetheart deal negotiated in the dead of night to get Hunter out of legal trouble with a plea agreement giving him a get out of jail free card for any crimes committed or that he would commit and that Hunter was clearly working on behalf of his father, sucking up foreign money like a vacuum cleaner. And when that failed Joe did the unthinkable and pardoned the cokeheaded whoremonger. How is THAT "defending democracy".
I would remind them of the cocaine found in the White House which nobody seemed able to figure out who brought it in.
I would remind them of the attack on Donald Trump with a shot missing his skull by less than an inch; the Secret Service clearly failed to do their jobs and that is almost certainly by design. The incompetence was not credible. How is THAT "defending democracy"?
I would remind them of the pro-life folks rotting in jail for simple, constitutionally protected protests.
I would remind him of the multiple IRS audits experienced by MAGA folks.
I would remind him of the MAGA folks who also suffered lawfare, such as Rudy Giulliani, many of whom went to prison over issues that were never prosecuted in the past.
I would remind these jerks about the Federal raid on Mar-a-Lago with orders to "shoot to kill" if anyone interfered.
I would remind them of Trump's arrest and perp walk and mug shot.
There is so much more and I've forgotten half of it or better. But if these two imbeciles think this is what democracy looks...
Meanwhile what of Trump's "authoritarianism"?
Trump never sent in the National Guard to quell any of the riots in Democrat states during his Presidency despite the fact they were burning down whole neighborhoods; he wasn't asked by the state Governors, and Trump was obedient to the separation of powers and Federalism. He couldn't act. Had he acted he would have been in much better shape politically as that would have been very popular, but he knew his limits.
Trump didn't force the reopening of the nation's economy after Covid despite the fact it was seriously hurting his political prospects. He obeys Federalism.
Trump did not prosecute a single Democrat despite having campaigned on "lock her Up" and Hillary had obviously broken multiple laws (letting her off the hook was a huge mistake, in my book, and emboldened his enemies). You cannot point to a single Democrat Trump went after with the law.
So what was Trump's terrible authoritarianism? Apparently challenging the election results in what at least to him (and to me as well as half the country) appeared to be a rigged election. Do notice Trump did nothing more than, say, Democrat Stacey Abrams had done, or that Al Gore, or multiple other Democrats in times past. But Republicans aren't supposed to do such things (in fact there was a consent decree by a judge banning any challenge to vote fraud for Republicans before Trump took them out of it). And Trump asked people to come to Washington to PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY protest. Those were his exact words. I would add it seems like Nancy Pelosi set this up to frame Trump. She was in charge of security there, and she knew it was coming. Trump offered the National Guard and she refused it. He even gave the order to deploy but the guy charged with implementing the order feared the incoming Democrats and their wrath more and simply ignored Trump. It was just another setup by the undemocratic Democrats.
Oh, and who is undemocratic and authoritarian? The Democrats just removed Joe Biden from the ticket when it became obvious he was going to lose and replaced him with someone their own party had no say over. But these two stupid men can't see that this was the authoritarianism and not anything Mr. Trump has done.
One of the tools of propaganda is the Big Lie; repeat a lie often enough and make it crazy enough and people will start believing it. That was the genius of Hitler's Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbles. That is what they have done, with the complicity of media morons like Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber here, to smear Trump as "authoritarian". But it's the Big Lie to hide the fact it is their people who are the true authoritarians. Trump is just a go who won't roll over for them.
The Left always accuses their enemies of that which they themselves are most guilty. And they always find stooges like David Brooks to carry their water for them. Fellow travelers.
I hope and pray a conservative buys MSNBC; we need another Conservative outlet and clowns like these two deserve to be pink-slipped. Maybe they can learn what the average working class American has been suffering all these years from their favored policies.

I'll drink to that!
California Fire Chief Saves Two Homes Using Milk and Beer After Finding No Water in Hose
Sounds like something out of the Bible, doesn't it! Insttead of a land flowing with milk and honey it's a land cooled with milk and Pilsner.
Using beer is alcohol abuse, plain and simple, but it got the job done!

Vivek Running for Governor
Timothy Birdnow
Vivek is going to run for Ohio Governorafter DeWine picked someone else to take J.D. Vance's Senate seat. Sadly DeWine is term limited so Ramaswamy can't remove him from office.
Dewine is a huge RINO and we need fewer like him. He won't be missed.
While I generally like Vivek, his attitude towards H1B visas and legal immigration leave something to be desired. He has openly embraced such visas for Silicon Valley on the theory that Americans are lazy and stupid and we need "the best and brightest". What that really means is we need people who are willing to work for less. And if Americans don't have the skills? There was a time we used to TEACH the skills; that was how companies obtained skilled labor. Now they want people ready to do the job at lower pay. If America is lazy whose fault is that? The people who won't give Americans good jobs in the first place come to mind.
But besides that I think old 'Swamy would be a good Governor. Governor is a much better job for a political future than Senator as it gives executive experience to a politician. Senators make terrible Presidents (look at Joe Biden) and they aren't good for much else. Most American Presidents came from governorships.
Which former Presidents were Senators? Biden, Obama, Warren Harding, John Kennedy (who was a huge failure, although he gets good press) were sitting Senators when elected to the Presidency. There were others who once served in the position, notably to become Vice President then President. But only 17 senators have ever served as President and there is a reason for that; it's a job where you delegate all your work to your staff and simply enjoy the fruits of being the Great Man. And you caucus with a group of like-minded folks. The buck doesn't stop at your desk. So Senators turned Presidents end up like Joe Biden, screwing up royally then blaming others. It worked for them in bygone times, after all. A Governor learns to accept responsibility; he has no choice.
So this is the smart move for Vivek. But we'll see what he does with it if and when he goes to Washington.

Walk Like an Egyptian from Illinois
Timothy Birdnow
Multiple counties in southern Illinois have voted to secede from the Land of Lincoln and Indiana has made them an offer to annex them into their fair state.
Illinois is entirely dominated by Chicago, that great People's Republic, and while southern Illinois isn't conservative it's not so leftist as the north, and the people there want out.
Can't say I blame them; high taxes, high gas prices, heavy regulations, and an open invitation to illegal aliens have all added up to sour the folks down south.
Southern Illinois is actually a delightful area. There are essentially two regions - the south and the Deep South, which includes "Little Egypt", the delta area where the Mississippi and Ohio rivers meet. Southernmost Illinois is the Ozarks, part of the ancient mountain chain that once was the biggest thing going a billion years ago. A beautiful region of streams, rolling hills, forests, and other natural wonders.
The wife and I discovered this area years ago and used to visit it on a regular basis. There is the Shawnee Hills Wine Trail, full of small, boutique wineries and a few microbreweries tucked in the hollows and forests of the Illinois Ozarks. There is Bald Knob, with the Cross of Peace sitting on the highest hill in the region, a giant white crucifix which they light at night. It can be seen over a six hundred square mile area! There is also a very artsy, intellectual community nearby. They have a boardwalk with a wonderful surprise - a metal art shop's back yard, which you discover is an amazing wonderland of stone forts and pirate ships and other pre-adolscent dreams, like something out of Peter Pan and Neverland. You would never know it was there; there are no signs or advertising. Just a sign "please say on trail" and then you enter this little hidden garden.
There is a root beer saloon too, with swinging doors.
And Giant City state park. A place full of enormous boulders, the size of homes, and with the remains of a native fortification from way back. Oh, and some of the best fried chicken you will eat.
There is the Garden of the Gods. Nuff said. There are fishing lakes and a natural bridge and the Little Grand Canyon.
That's southernmost Illinois. There are many other things is southern Illinois to delight. An old French fort - Ft. Des Charrtes - just south of St.Louis. There are delightful small towns, true Americana although they have a decidedly German flavor. (My own Grandmother's family lived there, German immigrants who left Alsace when the Prussians took it from France.)
It's very different from what most people think of Illinois, which is either an industrial wasteland or a flat prairie full of corn. That's middle and northern Illinois. Northernmost Illinois is Mexico. I went to Rockford years ago and it looked like a border town, on the Mexican side.
I wish at least Southernmost Illinois would request annexation to Missouri. But the Mississippi acts a a huge psychological barrier; east is one side, west another. Missouri is west and never the twain shall meet.
I'm o.k. with Indiana taking south-middle Illinois; they get stuck with East St. Louis and the mill towns like Granite City. They would get Alton and the quaint little resort town of Grafton, an old community built into the bluffs of the Mississippi river, as well as Brussel's Island, the land between the Mississippi and Illinois rivers (which itself is delightful; a land of few people that is only accessed by a ferry or a bridge 20 miles to the north. Once called "The Apple Kingdom" the island was the second largest apple producing area in America and still is full of orchards and great, country-cooking restaurants.)
Hate to lose those, but Indiana would do a good job with them. But I want Little Egypt and the Ozarks!
I don't want them to become a new state; it would be entirely up for grabs and the Democrats could well win control of it. This is labor Democrat country (as well as being devout drinkers of Stag Beer, perhaps the worst beverage ever devised by the mind of man, but they seem to like the horrible stuff.)
At any rate the people of Southern Illinois should not be slaves to the city of Chicago, the feudal lords of Springfield, or any of the rest of the creeps who have run the state into the ground.
J.B. Pritzker, Illinois billionaire leftist governor and heir to the Hyatt fortune, sits upon an empire he has purchased with his money and with the power of Cook County. Outstate Illinoisans want out. If Democrats really do care about democracy, as they claim, they would honor this choice. But when did Democrats ever really care about democracy? Only when it serves their interests.

Dems Vote Against Deporting Sexual Predators
Timotthy Birdnow
What does anyone expect from the party of Bill Clinton and Joe "want some candy little girl" Biden?
145 Democrats Vote Against Deporting Illegal Alien Sexual Predators from U.S.
So where is the National Organization for Women (NOW)? Why aren't the feminists up in arms over this? The #metoo crowd? Strange how active they are when Republicans seek to protect the unborn but they simply vanish when it comes to protecting actual women.
If feminism was about women and not lefitism they would be FURIOUS at this. Their silence speaks volumes.
