Making Tikttok Great Again

He really would be "Mr. Wonderful" if he were to do this!
Mr. Wonderful to Buy Tiktok
Kevin O'Leary is an enterpreneur and good conservative who supports MAGA. He is one of the panelists of Shark Tank where he is called Mr. Wonderful for his rather hard-bitten approach.

Because Journalism, like Democracy, Dies in Darkness

Go woke go broke!
Washington Post Online Traffic Collapses: from 23 Million Daily Users to 3 Million
WaPo's changes (which were don to survive as PC advocacy has lost all appeal) drove away the nutters that did read the paper. Now they have nothing.
Maybe Bezos should sell to Rupert Murdoch or Elon Musk?

Global Cooling Caused Collapse of Gulf Stream - now Warming does so
Timothy Birdnow
Another from Tony Heller at Real Climate Science:
Another from Tony Heller at Real Climate Science:
Fifty years ago, global cooling was causing collapse of the Gulf Stream. Now. global warming is causing collapse of the Gulf Stream.
"Pack ice around Iceland is becoming a serious navigation hindrance to an extent unmatched since a "little ice age” in the 17th and 18th centuries.
England’s growing season has shortened a week to two weeks since 1950 and the Arctic ice and snow cap has expanded 12 per cent since 1964.
North Atlantic surface waters have been cooling for the last 30 years. The tepid Gulf Stream, a major warming influence on Western European weather, has retreated south about a sixth as far as it did at the height of the last full-fledged ice age, 20,000 years ago, according to ocean bed fossil records.”
Jun 15, 1975, page 250 – The Miami Herald at Newspapers.com
"Yes, global warming is considered a significant factor in the potential collapse of the Gulf Stream”

Global COOLING Causes Wild Fires

July 12, 1976
"The weather seems to have gone berserk lately. The tennis courts at Wimbledon in England have not been as parched since the 1920’s. The same is true for croplands in northern France, the Soviet Union, Minnesota and the Dakotas. It’s so dry, brush fires have started several weeks early in California, and water is being rationed.
They believe that the earth’s climate has moved into a cooling cycle, which means highly erratic weather for decades to come. And that, they say, has profound implications—most of them bad—for world food production, economic stability and social order.”
Climatologists Forecast Stormy Economic Future – The New York Times

"Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr., warned here today that drought?stricken California was "facing a disaster of immeasurable magnitude.”

Deep State "Shenanigans"?
Timothy Birdnow
Seth Tillman, writing at the New Reform Club, dissects an interview with Professor Jack Goldsmith by the everlasting neocon Bill Kristol.
In this interview Goldsmith states:
"Shenanigans"? Well shucks; let's go find Alfalfa and Buckwheat and Spanky and the gang!
Among other things the Cambridge dictionary says shenanigans are "silly behavior that is usually not very serious or harmful". Yet Trump was openly accused of being a "Russian asset, meaning he was a traitor and spy. He was accused of colluding with a foreign power. He was accused of abusing his office by asking the Ukrainian president to reopen a corruption investigation against Joe Biden's son. He was accused of multiple crimes (over 88 crimes and faced over 900 years in prison). He was sued in civil court purely for political reasons and wound up with almost a half a BILLION dollars in a civil judgment. He has had multiple investigations of himself, of his companies, of his family. And he has faced two assassination attempts, attempts that showed a level of incompetence with the Secret Service that cannot be explained away, making one suspect it was intentional. The CIA used such tactics overseas, and fomented the different color revolutions, particularly the Orange Revolution in Ukraine, using these same tactics.
In a moment of candor Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer warned Donald Trump " "You take on the intelligence community? They have six ways from Sunday of getting back at you". And they certainly tried their best. Remember all those intelligence agency heads who signed the letter claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was "Russian disinformation" after they had it for months? Or do you remember former FBI Director Andrew McCabe calling Trump a Russian asset"?
I would call all of this a bit more than "shenanigans". More like Treason and revolution.
And don't forget the way they meddled with the electtions in 2020. And how they went after everyone who was present at the J6 affair? You needn't have actually done anything wrong to get arrested and charged and get draconian sentences.
And remember the armed raid on Trump's home at Mar-a-Largo with orders to "shoot to kill" if anyone resisted. Then they went through Melania Trump's underwear drawer, sniffing her panties and the like.
Remember trump's arrest and mug shot. Remember how Alvin Bragg, doing the bidding of his boss who campaigned on "getting Trump", twisted the law into a pretzel to create a whole new class of crime and the corrupt judge letting him get away with that and other abuses of power. Remember Fani Willis coordinating with Jack Smith (who himself was appointed illegally) to throw Trump in prison.
What about the TWO impeachments of Trump and the J6 committee in which we now know people lied and there was collusion between "witnesses" and the members of the committee (like Liz Cheney)?
What about the censorship online pushed by the Biden Administration? They found a loophole in the First Amendment and rammed a whole parade through it. They suppressed information that would lead people to support Trump.
Shenanigans? I think not.
I seem to remember another President faced not just impeachment but removal from office over "shenanigans" involving a third rate burglary at a hotel in Washington. At the time these same clowns took that very, very seriously then.
How was Trump supposed to react to this? Laugh it off? They wanted to send him to prison for nine hundred years, and then they tried to kill him twice. I'm sorry but nobody would be chuckling at that.
See, this wasn't even just an attack on Donald Trump but rather was an attack on everyone who supported Trump, who voted for him. It was an attack on the very soul of our Constitution and republic. If Trump were NOT to take this very seriously he would be derelict in his duty as the prime law enforcement officer in the country. He HAS to go after these people at this point. It would be a travesty of justice if he were to just dismiss this.
So don't tell me Trump is overreacting; if anything he's under-reacting. Our Constitution, our rights as free citizens, our way of life was under attack by the Deep State. We had all sorts of laws rammed down our throats, not by our elected representatives but by unelected bureaucrats and national security goons and it was enforced with raw power - arrest and imprisonment and death if you dare resist. Joe Stalin was looking on proudly at this.
I'd like to ask Goldsmith what HE would do if he were falsely accused of multiple crimes, framed, set up, had half a billion dollars stolen from him, threatened with prison for centuries, had his name tarnished, his family harassed, and had people trying to kill him? I suspect the good professor would not be quite so forgiving as he is now.
Naturally Kristol didn't bother to correct this man,but then Kristol is a neocon and wants endless war and hates a guy like Trump who wants to restore old virtues (like Washington's admonition to avoid entanglement with foreign powers or the horrible idea that America should actually be great and not just a cog in a new world order that benefits others at our expense).
Yes, America's institutions are hollowed out and full of termites who are eating out our nation from within. Middle America has shown they see it and voted for the one man offering a way out. Nobody else dared try it.
But if America is to survive it must restore the basics that made her great in the first place. Fail to do that and we join the other nations in the ashbin of history who went down this same path - Rome, the Holy Roman Empire, Carthage, Egypt, Spain and Portugal come to mind.
Trump gives us some breathing room. Now we have to make this revolution permanent by electing like-minded people to Congress and our next President needs to be MAGA. Either this nutty professor doesn't understand that or wants America to fall. I suspect deep down it's the latter.
Seth Tillman, writing at the New Reform Club, dissects an interview with Professor Jack Goldsmith by the everlasting neocon Bill Kristol.
In this interview Goldsmith states:
"But it’s normal for Trump, and let me just say part of what Trump is about is to just blow up all these norms [which] he just thinks … he thinks or talks acts as if he thinks, that they are just illegitimate, that they are corrupt, that the justice department is under the control of the Deep State or Democrats or some combination of both, and you know there were some Deep-State shenanigans against him in his first term, so and I get it, but this ? is all completely out of the ordinary. For us? We unfortunately: it is about to become ordinary ….

No, Biden did not "Eclipse"Trump in Judicial appointments"
Timothy Birdnow
The media reported with much fanfare how Joe Biden had "eclipsed" Trump in appointting judges. Not so say our old friends at the New Reform Club.
FTA:
So why did the media lie to us about this? No doubt to depress our side and to elevate the sagging spirits of theirs. The fact is we are winning and they simply cannot stand to admit that.

"Again, Trump-45 outpaced Biden: Trump-45 had 2 more Supreme Court Justices, 9 more federal circuit judges, 11 more federal appellate judges, 9 more Article I specialty court judges, and 8 more federal judicial appointments in toto.
Biden outpaced Trump in one category—Biden had 1! more Article III judicial appointment—and that is the lead, the news, and the only news.

The Panitent
Timothy Birdnow
Maybe Mark Zuckerberg means it when he says he'sending DEI at Meta/Facebook. In addition to getting rid of partisan "fact checkers" he's ending the practice of putting female hygene products in mens rooms to cater to the "transgendered".
A baby step perhaps but a step nonetheless.
I have my doubts about all of it. Zuck's censorship went way beyond computer algorithms (which is what he blamed it on) and to actual decisions being made by the management of Facebook. Shadow banning,for instance, was common and I spent most of my time in that particular gulag when I was on Facebook. I heated arguments with Facebook editors about the way I was treated and they clearly thought they had every right to shadow-ban me because I was not "right thinking". Oh, and then there was "Zucker bucks" as the article mentions, where Zuckerberg spent big amounts to help Democrats steal 2020. He knew what they were doing and knew tho new machines he was giving away were being tampered with.
I suspect Zuckerberg is only doing this because he realizes he's in trouble with Trump 2.0, and because Facebook has been losing a lot of users such as myself who are moving elsewhere - to places like Truth Social and to X. He's got to fool people into coming back,and fool the Republicans into not breaking his empire into pieces via antitrust.
But who knows? Maybe the eternal juvenile is finally growing up, like Wendy in Peter Pan, he's finally realizing that you can't stay a child forever. Maybe.
(BTW Disney recreated Peter Pan in their own sappy image, and he was the unquestioned her of the movie, but the book was quite a bit different; Pan was in fact a villain, a happy villain but one of the bad guys in the novel. Notice the name Pan; Pan was one form of the god Dionysius, the god of wine and insanity, and Peter Pan represented the childish impulse to not grow or accept responsibility, and like worshippers of Pan he kept his accolytes enslaved in a perpetural pre-adolescent state. Peter Pan should be the symbol of the modern Left.)

Make People Work for their Welfare and Immigration Decreases
How can anyone argue against work requirements for able-bodied individuals on welfare?
Implement this and not only does the deficit go down, demand for illegal immigrant labor is reduced, and national economic productivity increases.
Republicans should pass this immediately.

E.U. Threatens to Cancel elections if Right Wins
Timothy Birdnow
Remember, they always had elections in the old Warsaw Pact countries too. But that didn't mean the public had any choice.
EU Globalist Explicitly Threatens To Cancel German Election Result If Right Wing AfD Wins
From Tyler Durdin at Zerohedge:
Former French European Commissioner Thierry Breton has essentially openly confessed that the West stole the Romanian election and stands ready to do it again in Germany if deemed necessary.
"We did it in Romania, and we will do it in Germany if necessary," a translation from the French of Breton's recent appearance in European media said. Early last month a top Romanian court simply annulled the first round of the country's presidential election in order to create what amounted to a 'do over' election.
The publication Romania Journal highlighted Breton's words as follows: "If, on the other hand, the Tesla and X boss breaks the law, especially in Germany, by supporting the 'extremist' AfD party, the former European Commissioner believes that it will be necessary for the authorities to act as in Romania, where the presidential elections were canceled, writes the website of the French television BFMTV, which recalls Călin Georgescu’s TikTok campaign.
The court had decided "to annul the entire electoral process for the election of the President of Romania… to ensure the correctness and legality of the electoral process" - in the controversial ruling which was completely unprecedented.
The 'problem' was that Calin Georgescu, the widely dubbed 'far-right' contender, came out on top in a first round of voting in a 'shock' outcome which left political opponents claiming Russian election interference.
Apparently the 'smoking gun' is related to mere social media posts on platforms like TikTok. "The Constitutional Court’s unprecedented decision — which is final — came after President Klaus Iohannis declassified intelligence on Wednesday that alleged Russia ran a sprawling campaign comprising thousands of social media accounts to promote Calin Georgescu across platforms like TikTok and Telegram," The Associated Press noted.
Here's more from Breton's words:
Now we are equipped, and we have to enforce this law to protect our democracies in Europe.
For now, let’s keep calm and enforce our laws in Europe, when there is a risk that they will be bypassed and if they are not enforced, they can lead to interference.
We did it in Romania, and if necessary, we will have to do it in Germany as well.
Elon Musk responded by saying this is what a tyrant sounds like...
The segment had discussed Musk and European officials' allegations of his supposed interference in Europe's internal affairs.
"Freedom of expression is a fundamental element in Europe," Breton had claimed in the news segment. "If they don’t, there are fines and the possibility of a ban. We are equipped to enforce these laws to protect our democracies in Europe."
"Let’s stay calm and enforce the laws in Europe, when they risk being circumvented and if not enforced, could lead to interference," he had added.

A Little Dab'll Do Ya Gavin!

This is definitely the line of the week. Actor Mel Gibson trolled California Governor Gavin Newsom over his failures:
Gibson lost his home to the largely preventable fires.
Many hair gels are made with petroleum and are flammable. Wonder how many jars Mr. Newsom has tossed in landfills over the years?

LA Has to beg Canada for Fire Suppression Planes
Timothy Birdnow
Well, well, well...seems California had to ask the Canadians to send planes to drop water on their fires because they were in a dispute with the U.S. Forest Service and were boycotting American planes.
So they actually had to beg Canada for help!
Here is an article from last year discussing the dispute between LA and the USFS.
So once again bad public policy has turned this into an apocalyptic disaster. But we aren't supposed to mention that!
I watched several Sunday morning shows and all of them accused Trump of 'politicizing it' when in fact all Trump has done is lay blame where it belongs. We can't fix the problem until we affix blame - it's that simple. We need to know what went wrong.
We know what went wrong; the Democrats.
Oh, and California is importing Mexicans to "do the work Americans Just Won't Do" to put out the fires.

Myorkas Grantts Illegals Amnesty Because of BAD WEATHER!
Timothy Birdnow
In yet another standing hampton in the American eye of the zombie Biden's impeached DHS Secretary Allejandro Myorkas has granted amnesty to 850,000 invaders because of bad weather.
I kid you not.
Here is what Myorkas said:
If that is the case shouldn't Myorcas crack down on granting work visas now since the U.S. is experiencing inclement weather? Does not the fires of California and the snows of the rest of the country not warrant removal of these folks on "humanitarian" reasons?

I kid you not.
Here is what Myorkas said:
"El Salvador’s extension of TPS is based on geological and weather events, including significant storms and heavy rainfall in 2023 and 2024, that continue to affect areas heavily impacted by the earthquakes in 2001."
If that is the case shouldn't Myorcas crack down on granting work visas now since the U.S. is experiencing inclement weather? Does not the fires of California and the snows of the rest of the country not warrant removal of these folks on "humanitarian" reasons?

Not with a Bang but a Loud Flatulent Sound
Timothy Birdnow
In his last days in office Joe Biden has extended immigration protections to Venezuelan drug gangs and criminals from El Salvador just to stop Trump from deporting them.
To quote former Democrat House Speaker Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neal "these guys came in like pr*&ks and they are going out the same way."

FEMA Kicks N. Carolina Flood Victims Out in the Snow
Timothy Birdnow
FEMA's director was on Fox News Sunday this morning trying to defend her record. It was laughable and Shannon Bream, the tepid host of said show, let her off the hook. But the big takeaway was this story about the survivors of the North Carolina floods being kicked out of temporary housing during freezing cold conditions.
Yes, FEMA is booting a bunch of these people into the streets in the dead of winter when they failed to rebuild for the people in the first place.
Funny; FEMA spent LOTS of money resettling "refugees" aka illegal aliens but couldn't be bothered to help Americans in North Carolina. But of course we also know FEMA gave orders to pass any home with a "MAGA" sign on it.
Bream did not press Deanna Criswell about any of this. She did ask about North Carolina briefly and let Criswell do the old soft shoe, talking about how everyone's needs are different and it's best if people go into a FEMA office to talk "face to face" with a faceless bureaucrat. In other words it was "tough luck MAGA Scum!" Naturally Bream didn't go any further.
If you aren't illegal FEMA and the rest of this junta couldn't care less about you. Kicking homeless mountain folk out into the snow is proof of that yet again.
FEMA's director was on Fox News Sunday this morning trying to defend her record. It was laughable and Shannon Bream, the tepid host of said show, let her off the hook. But the big takeaway was this story about the survivors of the North Carolina floods being kicked out of temporary housing during freezing cold conditions.
Yes, FEMA is booting a bunch of these people into the streets in the dead of winter when they failed to rebuild for the people in the first place.

Mr. Smith Leaves Washington
Timothy Birdnow
Jack Smith has resigned his post to avoid facing the wrath of Donald Trump.
How can he resign? He never had any legal authority in the first place as he was illegally hired.
I want an investigation into Smith and his collusion with Garland and with Willis and Bragg/Leititia James. I have no doubt crimes were committed. Smith needs to face the consequences of his crimes.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out Jack; that's Trump's job!

Why We Lose
Timothy Birdnow
When Newt Gingrich led the Republican revolution with his Contract for America he appeared to be everything we had been waiting for. He wasn't; he wound up being so double-minded and just plain flakey that the GOP booted him out as Speaker - and he resigned from Congress.
Gingrich had a lot of good ideas and enthusiasm but he was a terrible strategist because he couldn't stick with a plan, and the GOP caucus had enough of his changing the plans mid-stream.
At any rate I just caught Gingrich on Face the Nation this morning and he shows yet again why he was not the man to take us to the Promised Land.
The reason they had Gingrich as a guest? Because, in a time when we are being overrun by aliens of every imaginable sort he wrote a book where he praised people who were refugees to this country. It was tailor made for corporate media in that the host could bloviate on how great immigaration is and how much we need it. She spoke of Einstein and Kissinger for example. Well, Einstein was a world famous physicist long before coming here and he had a job waiting for him as chair of the Princeton department of physics. He wasn't even really a refugee - he had been living in England. We let him in because he offererd an expertise sorely needed by our military weapons programs and everyone knew it.
As for Kissinger who the hell thinks Kissinger offered anything useful to the U.S.? He gave us our greatest competitor - China - and "detente'" saved teh Soviet Union from collapse, a collapse we would eventually force on them anyway. I would add that rumors swirled that Kssinger was an agent of the KGB having been recruited by them during WWII. He certainly worked for the Rockefeller Brothers Fund during the fifties.And Kissinger was wrong on almostt everything he promoted.
My opinion is he should never have been allowed into the country in the first place.
We needed Einstein but he was problematic too as he was an avowed Socialist and made no bones about it. but we needed him, as we needed Oppenheimer to run the Manhattan Project despite his being a communist (he admitted on his security clearance form he was a member of "just about every communist front organization on the West Coast".)
Back to Gingrich. He acquitted himself well, explaining there is a time for every purpose and now is not the time to let in refugees. All well and good but why write a book about this topic now? We can't afford to give the Left any tool with which to bludgeon us yet here he gives them just such a weapon.
There are 60 million aliens in America (legal and illegal) which is fifteen million more than the entire population of Canada. We need a total moratorium on immigration, much like we had between the early 1920's and 1965 (when Ted Kennedy changed the immigration laws and not only opened us up to immigration but favored those from third world countries). We do not need any more people now.
I would make a suggestion; Trump can buy Greenland and turn it into a resettlement camp. Make would-be immigrants spend ten years there before coming here. Somehow I suspect our applications will run dry very quickly.
At any rate Gingrich showed why we are forever losing; we have no coordination and no precision of attack.

Mission Creeps

Here are some of the things Los Angeles deemed more important than funding the fire department.
Here are some of the things Los Angeles deemed more important than funding the fire department.
Los Angeles allocated $100,000 to the Civil + Human Rights and Equity Department for a "Midnight Stroll Transgender Cafe,” according to its 2024 to 2025 budget. The funding’s purpose is to "support a safe haven for unsheltered transgender individuals in Hollywood,” the document noted.
Similarly, the Cultural Affairs Department Special Appropriations budget allocated $100,000 for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Awards.
The budget also appropriated $8,670 for the "One Institute the International Gay and Lesbian Archives.”
The ONE Archives at the University of Southern California (USC) Libraries currently has an exhibit titled "Sci-fi, Magick, Queer L.A.: Sexual Science and the Imagi-Nation,” which focuses on the occult and "the LGBTQ movement.”

The budget also allocated $13,000 for "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Heritage Month Programs” and $14,010 to the "Gay Men’s Chorus of Los Angeles.”
Los Angeles’ African American History Month, American Indian Heritage Month, Latino Heritage Month and Asian American History Month Programs were each allocated $13,000. (RELATED: LA Water And Power Officials Rake In Fat Salaries As Fire Hydrants Run Dry)
The budget also appropriated $170,000 in total for "Social Justice Art-Worker Investments.”
The LA Fire Department’s strategic plan made "DEI” and a "progressive work environment” two of their top three priorities—regarding them as more important than "technological innovations” and "disaster recovery capabilities,” which it ranked last. pic.twitter.com/6b6SdPUePC
— Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️ (@realchrisrufo) January 9, 2025
The LAFD was blasted for promoting diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, and its 2023 to 2026 strategic plan stated that DEI was one of its "key goals.” A stated priority of the city’s first "LGBTQ” and woman fire chief, Kristin F. Crowley, is "promoting a culture that values [DEI].”
Silly me; I thought fighting fires was an essential service and the primary mission of the LAFD!

When you LIFE is at stake you don't give a damned about what race or "pursuasion" they may be.
Resurfaced video of fire dept. assistant chief inspires outrage after devastating wildfires in Los Angeles
From the Blaze article:
So this woman thinks it's your own fault if you have to be carried by a fireman fireperson and so you don't deserve rescue. Well, if that's the case she should refund taxpayer money. It's the job of the FD to actually do that.
So it's important that first responders "look like you" eh? Does that mean if you are Eskimo they have to hire Innuit? If Moari do you have to hire New Zealand Islanders? Why stop there; why not pair the attractive with the attractive and uggos with uggos. Make everyone post a photo in the Fire Department office so they can match them with the appropriate responder. If you look like the Elephant Man then they have to find some horribly disfigured person to rescue you - if they can't find one then you are out of luck!
I know; I'm engaging in reductio ad absurdum. But the logic is still inevitable. Her argument is so absurd as to deserve it.
If you are going to make this argument then no black or Hispanic or Asian folks should be sent to white neighborhoods. Put that in your bong and smoke it chickadee! A black woman shouldn't be called except for to maybe Watts and then they should have to ascertain the sex of the citizen needing rescue.
How about just hiring the best people, those who can do the job better than anyone else? I know; it's a radical idea, completely silly. Imagine it; basing hiring on competence!

Resurfaced video of fire dept. assistant chief inspires outrage after devastating wildfires in Los Angeles
From the Blaze article:
" The video shows assistant chief Kristine Larson explain why it is important to have minority members of the fire department, and then she appears to defensively mock fire victims. Larson was lauded as the first black woman to be hired on as an LAFD chief.
'This is actually appalling. This is a public servant?'
"You want to see somebody that responds to your house, your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call, that looks like you," said Larson in the video. "It gives that person a little bit more ease knowing that somebody might understand their situation better."
She went on to address criticism that some women may not meet the strength standards needed to fulfill the requirements of the job.
"'Is she strong enough to do this?'" she said in the voice of critics. "'You couldn't carry my husband out of a fire.'"
"Which my response is, 'He got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.'"

Hall of Shame
Timothy Birdnow
Here are the nine Senators who voted against the Laken Riley Act:
• Senator Bernie Sanders (VT) • Senator Cory Booker (NJ) • Senator Andy Kim (NJ) • Senator Mazie Hirono (HI) • Senator Brian Schatz (HI) • Senator Tina Smith (MN) • Senator Elizabeth Warren (MA) • Senator Ed Markey (MA) • Senator Jeff Merkley (OR)
I didn't know the Archies singer and "rock me gently" guy was such a crazed liberal! (Actually that's a different Andy Kim).
At any rate shame on these people! If you refuse to protect Americans (which is the primary job of Congress) then what good are you?
