Fox Trot
Timothy Birdnow
And this despite the Trump revolution.
Fox News Heir Promises to Radically Change Network
We knew this was coming; most of the Muroch children are liberals who want their network to win awards and get kudos from their playmates.
The only thing that made Fox so big was the fact it gave real news in a monolithic landscape of fake journalism. If it becomes another network it will lose it's viewers and wind up with the ratings of another network. How this lesson can be lost on this foolish children is beyond me.
By the way owner Rupert Murdoch tried to change the trust that guaranteed the network would pass to his leftist children in order to save what he had created and a judge ruled against him. Fox will be in the control of his dim-witted kids.
Time to start building a new network and let Fox crumble.

The Tidy Bowl Man is a Democrat
Timothy Birdnow
Everybody hates the Congressional Democrats.
A Quinnipiac poll (which always slants left) give the Donkeys in Congress just 21% approval with 68% disapproval and 11% noncommittal.
And this is of all voters. The Democrats who took part in the poll gave them just 40% approval and 49%disapproval with 11% remaining silent.
The poll has Trump under water too, being 11% below the RCP average, yet this same polling company has the Donkeys in the toilet; how much worse is it in reality? I suspect the Democrats themselves actually disappprove at 68% and not 49.
Now times change and polls (and people) are fickle. But the Democrats are in a historic reversal, one not seen since the Whigs. There is a good chance the party could splinter into a number of parties. Certainly the Squad wing has nothing in common with the working class Democrats anymore. It would make sense to partition the Democratic Party - a lot of sense.
BTW James Carville boldly predicted universal power for his beloved Democrats based on demographics. How's that working out for you Jimmy?

Trump Wants to Federalize the District of Columbia
Timothy Birdnow
Wasn't this the idea in the first place? Why have a federal zone not in any state if it is to be run independently from the Federal gvoernment?
Trump Says Federal Government Should Take Over Washington
Given the horrible mismanagement of the city by the elected officials (anyone remember Marion Barry?) the Feds certainly can't do any worse.
D.C. was run by the Feds until they were granted home rule in 1973. Democrats pushed this to promote statehood and thus have another guaranteed Democrat stronghold with two Senators.
Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) have introduced a bill to restore the old order of things. Let's hope it actually passes. It's time to restore the old order of things over a lot; taxation, the election of Senators, etc. (Senators were appointed by their respective states before the 17th Amendment passed in 1913. Prior to that the Senate was a far less partisan body and more responsible.)

The Lessons of Eddie Slovik and William Bligh
Timothy Birdnow
This should be easy; the DOJ can file charges against this guy right now. He is sworn to uphold the law.
Boston police commissioner supports DEI, says officers won't enforce ICE detainers over state law
Until these insurrectionists are charged and jailed tthis will spread like the plague.
During WWII there was just one soldier who refused to go to the front. Edward Donald Slovik deserted, saying he preferred Leavenworth to doing his duty. What did the military do? He was court-martialed and executed by firing squad. Because Eisenhower and the rest of the top brass understood if Slovik got just a prison term it might appear a more attractive prospect than wading into the hell of combat. A nice warm jail cell with three square meals a day versus facing down guns, in rain or snow, and sleeping outside in a fox hole was a no-brainer for some. An example had to be made. There were no more chanrges after that.
The Civil War and earlier wars all saw the executions of deserters. Washington was well-known for executing deserters when he caught them and did so regularly. He understood that the only way to enforce the law was to punish the transgressor.
So if guys like this get away with it it will spread like a plague. Barney Fife here has given the proseution what it needs to charge this guy. It's time to use it. He needs to be sent up the river.
Mutinies do not occur when the rules are enforced; they happen when the commander is too soft. Take the famous mutiny on HMS Bounty; Lieutenant Bligh (who was an experienced seaman but a new commander - he wasn't a captain) was too soft of his crew. He replaced the experienced and hard-nosed John Fryer as Second Officer during the cruise with his friend, the well-liked young Fletcher Christian. Fryerr knew the dregs he had for seamen and enforced the rules, sometimes harshly, and there was no trouble. Christian was more interested in being liked and was soft. When Bligh tried to restore order after things had deteriorated he was viewed as a tyrant and subsequently Christian backed the mutiny. Fryer and Bligh and the other loyal officers were cast adrift in a skiff and Bligh sailed the tiny boat four thousand some-odd miles in one of history's great maritime feats. (His actions saved the crew and his career; the Admiralty frowned upon men who lost their ships.)Christian and the other rebels fled to safety, finding Pitcairn island, a land that had been discovered but not charted properly. Within a few years every man was dead, killed fighting over women, except John Adams, who raised all the children born of the Polynesian women they had brought with them.
Bligh, by the way, was involved in FOUR mutinies during his career. He simply negotiated at least one of them (being asked as he had experience doing that) but his last mutiny was in Australia, where he was the governor. He tried to rein in the soldiers there, who abused the ex-prisoners (and the prisoners themselves) and the officers mutinied, holding Bligh prisoner for years, until the Admiralty sent in warships to get back the King's representative. So Bligh was a man of great talent but was simply too weak to be an effective commander.
At any rate history is replete with this sort of thing, and it always is caused by the same deficiency; a lack of willingness to enforce the rule of law.
We may not want to hang this guy but he needs to enjoy some time behind bars. Do that and the others will be far less willing to buck the system.

The Fifth Seal
Timothy Birdnow
Seventy Christians were found beheaded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo by Muslim murderers from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF), a group aligned with ISIS.
FTA:
I am mindful of the Book of Revelations 6:11
This is end-of-days type of stuff. We have not seen such persecution of the Church since the days of Diocletian.
In fact there has been an explosion of persecutions around the globe, particularly in the Islamic world but in other places as well, notably in subsaharan Africa. But it also is persecuted in America (with the rise of secularism as a state religion) and in China, of course.
Wherever the Gospel is being preached effectively the enemy comes with the sword and the rape gangs. Africa is becoming Christin, and the hatred and violence against Christians is rising asymptotically.
Once "there number shall be complete" then will come tthe day of judgement, the "Great and Terrible Day of the Lord". This is the Fifth Seal in the chain of events in Revelations. There follows the sixth seal (which reads "And I looked when He broke the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake; and the sun became as black as sackcloth and the moon became as blood"), then the 7th which makes the disasters of the sixth look modest - In fact there is silence in Heaven for "half an hour" as all of creation trembles at what is about to come upon the Earth. Then all hell breaks loose. The seven bowls of plagues are poured out on Mankind, and the Antichrist rises.
So if we are in the fifth seal we are in deep trouble. I wonder; is the Trump era the "silence in Heaven" where all is calm for a short time?
Pope Francis appears to not be long for this world and he is an anti-pope; it's clear the Leftist John Podesta and George Soros colluded with forces in the Vatican to force out Pope Benedict and install the leftist Francis. So did the CIA (More articles here.)Francis now has the chain of command solidly in his corner, and the coming conclave will no doubt pick someone even to the Left of the Peronista Pontiff.
This dovetails with Revelations; the False Prophet will give his authority to the Beast when he comes. Even though the Catholic Church has lost much of it's authority it still has a profound imfluence over what people believe and what they will tolerate. We've been in an era where people haven't much listened to the Church because the Church hasn't had much to say on matters which it is supposed to address. But Francis is a heretic and his successor may well be the Whore of Babylon, making the whole world fall into sin and setting the stage for the Antichrist.
so this may well signal the fifth seal and time may indeed be growing short.
BTW I've never believed in a pretribulational rapture as do so many Protestants. I think Scripture is quite clear; the rapture happens at the very end, as the parousia (return of Jesus) is in progress. No getting out early for good behavior! If there were a rapture the terror it would put in everyone's hearts would probably lead to repentence, but we know there will be none. So no supernatural event to shock the world - just the same old thing and the people will believe they are the enlightened as they prepare the day of wrath.
But whether I'm right or wrong about that it won't matter; this thing is coming and many of us will live through it. Oh, and it is going to be very, very unpleasant.

FTA:
Seventy Christians have been found beheaded in a church in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in what’s the latest devastating attack on believers in the north east of the country.
According to field sources, at around 4am last Thursday (13 February) suspected militants from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) – a group with ties to so-called Islamic State (IS) – approached homes in Mayba in the territory of Lubero, saying: "Get out, get out and don’t make any noise.” Twenty Christian men and women came out and were captured.
Shaken by this incident, people from the local community in Mayba later gathered to work out how to release those held captive. However, ADF militants surrounded the village and captured a further 50 believers.
"We don’t know what to do or how to pray; we’ve had enough of massacres”
All 70 of those kidnapped were taken to a Protestant church in Kasanga where they were tragically killed.
Muhindo Musunzi, director of the Kombo primary school [which belongs to the CECA20 church], says that prior to this incident, churches, schools and health centres had all shut their doors because of the chaotic security situation. "We had to move all activities towards Vunying,” he said.

Mike Steele; All American RINO
Timothy Birdnow
Mike Steele, the former feckless Chairman of the RNC, has beclowned himself on the loser network (MSNBC) in a vain effort to make himself relevant.
Steele has become the lunatic left's network Republican stooge, appearing on shows to bash the current (effective) President.
In this edition Steele is trashing Musk and DOGE:
We all do but it's not "indiscriminate". These government leeches have been sucking off the lifeblood from productive Americans for a long time. They have been the base of the Deep State now for generations.
While it's tough for anyone to lose their jobs in the end they should never have had them.
Steele goes on to Musk:
My, my, my...me thinks he doth protest tMusoo much! Sounds like a very jealous person who is mad he didn't do what the Muskrat is doing now. When Steele was a big name he could have accomplished a lot of what is happening now - he chose not to out of a desire to have good press and "keep his options open".
He continues:
Steel knows Musk can no more use this information than your pizza guy can. You give your info to the pizza company along with your credit card number every time you order in. In fact your social security number is everywhere.
So was Mike upset in 2013 when the Prism scandal broke? The NSA was collecting data on everyone and most Republicans in Washington did not protest, or made token protestations at best. Where was Steele then?
The fact is Steele is just another Deep-stater and is trying to get in good with the powers that be so they will take care of him. He's a whore, selling not his body but his soul.
Is it any wonder we are in such dire straights in this country? THIS was the guy leading the Republican Party!

"That this individual sitting down at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has given absolute power to one man, who brings his son into the Oval Office, whose son says to him, ‘you’re not the president! You shouldn’t be in that chair!’
"Now, where did he get that from? He got it from his daddy! Because that’s what his daddy thinks of the man who brought him into the Oval Office.

Judge Continues to Obstruct Trump
Timothy Birdnow
More horsepoop from an activistt Federal judge. This time the judge who issued an injunction stopping Trump from eliminating birthright citizenship has refused to allow partial implementation of his program, so Trump cannot even make preparations pending an overturning of the ruling.
FTA:
More horsepoop from an activistt Federal judge. This time the judge who issued an injunction stopping Trump from eliminating birthright citizenship has refused to allow partial implementation of his program, so Trump cannot even make preparations pending an overturning of the ruling.
FTA:
U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman issued a nationwide preliminary injunction on Feb. 5 in response to the lawsuit filed by the immigrant advocacy group CASA and the Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project (ASAP), as well as five pregnant mothers whose children would be impacted by the executive order. The preliminary injunction temporarily blocked enforcement of the order that would end birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants.
In a five-page order on Feb. 18, Boardman said the defendants have asked the court to "stay the injunction’s nationwide application,” limiting its effect to the plaintiffs in the case and their organizational members.
The judge rejected the request, saying that the nationwide injunction was necessary to maintain "uniform and consistent” citizenship rules across the country.
"Were the Court to limit the injunction to the plaintiffs and the members of the plaintiff organizations, a person’s citizenship status during the pendency of this case would depend on their parents’ decision to bring this lawsuit or their parents’ membership in one of two voluntary, private organizations. That would make no sense,” the judge stated.
Boardman said the defendants also asked the court to only enjoin the enforcement of the executive order and allow the implementation of it so that the Trump administration could begin internal preparations and formulate relevant policies and guidance while the appeal process is ongoing. The judge also denied this request.
Boardman stated that the plaintiffs have demonstrated "a strong likelihood of success” on the merits of their claim that the executive order violates the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees the right to citizenship for anyone born in the United States.
The judge acknowledged the president’s authority to issue executive orders but said that the role does not grant the power "to rewrite the Constitution” or ignore "125 years of Supreme Court precedent.”
The White House did not respond to a request for comment by publication time.
Trump’s order on birthright citizenship, issued on Jan. 20, stated that the 14th Amendment’s citizenship clause does not extend citizenship universally to everyone born within the United States.
According to the executive order, the citizenship clause has "always excluded from birthright citizenship persons who were born in the United States but not ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’.”
The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the clause excludes an individual if that person’s mother was unlawfully present in the country and the individual’s father was not a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of his or her birth, the order stated.
The order, initially set to take effect on Feb. 19, also faced legal pushback from multiple states. Eighteen states filed a lawsuit on Feb. 22 challenging the order. Federal judges in New Hampshire, Washington, and Massachusetts also issued preliminary injunctions preventing the federal government from denying birthright citizenship to children of illegal immigrants.

Impeaching Activist Judges
Timothy Birdnow
The Republicans are starting to grow a spine!
Won't Get Fooled Again: GOP Moves to Impeach Judges Trying to Stop Trump Agenda
BTW a legal analyst argues that the Democrat states that brought the challenge to DOGE lacked legal standing -as I said in an earlier post.
I would also point out that at least one of the judges started an NGO receiving Federal funds and sits on the board while ruling that the Trump Administration cannot withhold funding.

Kentucky has a Democrat for Governor and Mitch McConnell for Senator; is it any wonder the king of arterie-clogging fast food is moving to a place where fried chicken and barbequed beef are actually appreciated?

Kentucky has a Democrat for Governor and Mitch McConnell for Senator; is it any wonder the king of arterie-clogging fast food is moving to a place where fried chicken and barbequed beef are actually appreciated?

Not Without the U.S.!
Timothy Birdnow
Europe won't send troops to Ukraine unless we go first.
Perfectly European: Germany, France, U.K, Poland and EU Commission Refuse to Send Troops on Peacekeeping Mission to Ukraine Without U.S. Troops
Trump is right to treat them like children; they refuse to stand on their own two feet.
The population of the European Union is comfortably higher than the U.S. at 449.2 million, and her overall economic strength is third only to the U.S. and China at 15.2% GDP, just below the U.S. at 15.5%. So they have the economic strength and the manpower. What they don't have is the backbone to actually do anything without big daddy backing them up.
They are like the toadie of the bully; talk tough when they are backed up by the big guy but frightened rabbits on their own.
The Europeans are so used to us fighting their battles they cannot conceive of any other situation. They truly are a dependent class.
Well class is over; it's time to actually start your lives.

Deep State Confession
Timothy Birdnow
900 career DOJ lawyers outed themselves for lawfare against the Trump Administration.
900+ Former and Current Main Justice Lawfare Operatives, Self-Identify
From Sundance:

900 career DOJ lawyers outed themselves for lawfare against the Trump Administration.
900+ Former and Current Main Justice Lawfare Operatives, Self-Identify
From Sundance:
Put another way, 900 career DOJ lawyers, who used Main Justice as their platform to participate in corrupting and weaponizing the American judicial system for their own financial benefit, have now publicly self-identified.
These are the legal abusers within the system. The professional gaslighters, Lawfare activists and legally trained abusers of trust, who twist, distort and tear at the foundational fabric of our constitutional republic, while claiming moral superiority and cloaking their efforts under the guise of victimhood.
They are self-identifying and self-deporting from the system. America is winning again.

Bargain Basement Sale in D.C.
Timothy Birdnow
It's a fire sale in Washington as soon-to-be unemployed federal leeches, er, workers now face dismissal over their shoddy work or lack thereof. Everyone's fleeing like rats from a sinking ship, and this is reflected in home prices in the greater D.C. area.
Everything must go!
From the Black Sphere:
Most people cannot absorb this large a drop in the value of their property, and if they refinanced in the last couple of years they are going to be underwater on their mortgages and hard-pressed to sell. On average they will have to bring $130,000 to closing with them.
But what did they expect? They had a huge party at taxpayer expense; did they really think it would go on forever?
One thing is for certain; the loss of illegal aliens will be made up for with out-of-work Federal workers. We can expect them to work in housekeeping at hotels or in meat packing plants in the future. It may be wrong of me to enjoy the schadenfreude but I can't help myself; now they can learn who and what middle America is and what it's like to be the "other half".

From the Black Sphere:
The following article, DC’s Panic Sell-Off: Are the Bureaucrats Fleeing Before the Storm?, was first published on The Black Sphere.
Have you seen the map of all the homes for sale in the DC area? I’m not sure of the average cost, but it’s over a million easily.
The DC bureaucrats are leaving the sinking ship. Many of them know their jobs are gone. Home values are dropping like COVID-vaccine-injected test monkeys.
Posted on X were some interesting datapoints. For example, since DOGE began discussing mass layoffs, the median home price in Washington, DC, has FALLEN by $139,000. In 30 days, nearly 4,000 homes have been listed for sale in and around Washington, DC.
In November 2024, the median home in Washington, DC, was worth ~$699,000, according to Redfin. Today, the median home is worth $560,000, marking a -20% drop in ~3 months. Mass selling is an understatement.
There are now nearly 8,000 homes for sale in the Washington, DC, metro area. Nearly HALF of these homes have been listed for sale over the last 30 days. Since November 2024, nearly 5,000 homes have been listed for sale, well above average.

Not to be outdone by her former boss, Kamala Harris has signed on with a Hollywood talent agency.

Vote Fraud in Arizona
Timothy Birdnow
No vote fraud my eye!
Former Maricopa County Elections Temporary Worker Pleads Guilty to Stealing Key FOB That Would Have Reprogrammed All Voting Machine Tabulators
I suppose he was just taking it for safekeeping!
FTA:
But we are supposed to believe they didn't pull this in 2020 when Trump was leading everywhere then suddenly lost.
Bet the media says nothing about this.
Keri Lake would not have lost were it not for vote fraud, I am sure.
The Left has been stealing America for years now. Time to break the machine once and for all.
No vote fraud my eye!
Former Maricopa County Elections Temporary Worker Pleads Guilty to Stealing Key FOB That Would Have Reprogrammed All Voting Machine Tabulators
I suppose he was just taking it for safekeeping!
FTA:
Walter Ringfield Jr., a former Maricopa County Elections Department (MCED) employee and progressive activist who was caught on video stealing a key FOB that was capable of reprogramming all 140 voting machine tabulators on Election Day pleaded guilty last week to one count of Attempted Computer Tampering and three theft charges for unrelated crimes. The activist, who had vowed to stop Republican lawyers combating wrongdoing on Election Day, will be sentenced on March 5.
Ringfield was caught last year in June prior to the primary election. Although the charges aren’t very serious, he is being held without bail, according to KJZZ.
Computer tampering is a class three felony which carries up to eight years in prison. He was initially charged with a more serious felony, a class two, for tampering with computers that are a "critical infrastructure resource,” but was allowed to plead to the lesser charge in exchange for changing his plea from innocent to guilty.
He also pleaded guilty to criminal charges unrelated to the key FOB theft. One of those was stealing over $1,000 in cash from a Fry’s grocery store in 2023 while employed there. He was given a diversion agreement by Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell instead of fully prosecuted. If he had been fully prosecuted, it would have shown up in a background check and he would not have been hired at MCED. He also pleaded guilty for breaking into the Arizona Senate and stealing memorabilia coins, and stealing jewelry from the Phoenix Art Museum

Occluded Cortex Under Investigation

Tom Homan has asked for Ocasio-Cortez to be investigated by the Department of Justice for aiding illegals in evading capture.
That's how you get laws to be obeyed; you enforce them.
