Keystone Secret Service

Timothy Birdnow

If I were Trump I'd fire the Secret Service and hire my own private security.

]Secret Service Missed a Glock at Trump’s Golf Club. Its Owner Had to Tell Them

This is what DEI does to things; they have been hiring unqualified people for years now and it shows.

I've long suspected the SS has had a different standard for protecting Mr. Trump than they had for previous Presidents. The fiasco where Trump got shot proved they had a loosey-goosey approach to keeping Trump safe, if it wasn't purposeful. Given the fact our intelligence agencies despise Trump and they are the ones who carry out such things as assassinations one wonders if the SS isn't in on it.

But they don't need to be; they are so incompetent anyone serious about killing the President would be able to do so.

I suspect the Deep State doesn't want to kill him at this point but rather would like a few incidents to frighten him. Killing him would make him a martyr. Better to make him a lame-duck and then, as a private citizen, they can punish him all they like. They plan to, because they cannot allow anyone to ever do this again. Everyone has to be afraid.

Were I Trump I would create a private security force and staff it with old-time military guys. Of course, if he does, the media will compare them to the Gestapo, but that is better than being dead.

Eight Out of Ten Billionaires Agree

Timothy Birdnow

They wouldn't be doing this if they weren't confident the GOP is going to win.

Money usually wins elections. Billionaires have already poured $433 million into the 2026 midterms—and 80% of it is going to Republicans

These aren't people who got rich wasting money. They have better information than do we and know which way the wind is blowing.

Billionaires have donated $344.3 billion to Republicans this election cycle.

So do not believe it when the media - even Fox Snooze - tells you there is a blue wave coming. Billionaires disagree.

Fed Up with Zelensky

Timothy Birdnow

President Trump has about had it with Ukrainian dictator Volodomor (which mans the prince) Zelensky.

The Ukrainian President for Life (who has overstayed his term of office) has angered President Trump by attacking Russian diesel refineries, contributing to the worldwide diesel shortage and driving up inflation in the U.S. (Vladimir Putin at least holds sham elections, something Zelensky doesn't bother doing.)

Trump posted:

Rapid Response 47

@RapidResponse47

·

Follow

.@POTUS: We told Zelensky, 'You can do whatever you want to Russia, but don't hit the refineries because that's a world problem.' And what does he do? He goes and hits the diesel fuel. He better damn well stop.

This right after a Trump had a very productive phone call with Vladimir Putin.

Putin had agreed to provide 300,000 tons of diesel to the West.

Was this a wise strategy by Zelensky? Probably in that the Europeans won't sour on him no matter how much he hurts their people and the sale of diesel will bring Russia some very much needed revenue. But he has now angered the President and knowing Trump he will find a way to punish the Ukrainians.

The GOP in Congress should put through a bill to scrap the Lindsey Graham funding bill for Ukraine but they won't do it, I am sure. Trump's been on the fence about restricting the exportation of American diesel; now is the time. Make the Europeans suffer from no fuel. Maybe they will bring pressure on Ukraine for this.

Trump should restrict weapons exports to Ukraine too. Without our weapons I suspect the Ukrainians will find their war fortunes changing quickly. They are heavily dependent on American military aid.

If any nation wants our help they have to accept our conditions. Ukraine would long since have become a province of Russia were it not for our aid. But, like all welfare recipients, they are ingrates on a par with the rest of Europe.

There is nothing more despised than a benefactor.

At any rate Trump is going to have to punish Ukraine and Zelensky. Make no mistake; Zelensky is cheering for the Democrats to win in November.

BTW 72% of Ukrainians hold Zelensky personally responsible for the terrible corruption in the country. If there were elections held the big Z would lose. And they are right.

There is precious little interest in Zelensky's wealth or where his money is going. I find that quite interesting given the Ukrainians were sending lots of money to Hillary Clinton back in '16. And Elon Musk found more than half of U.S. aid to Ukraine was laundered back to Democrats.

Trump is right; Ukraine needs a new President. Zelensky is only out for himself.

A Flock of Eyeballs

Timothy Birdnow

Flock's camera network should be called "flock U".

Flock Deal Pulls Back Curtain On 20 Small-Town Cameras Wired Into Nationwide

"Customer hereby grants to Flock a limited, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to (a) use and disclose Customer Data to provide the Flock Services; and (b) use Customer Data to support and improve Flock’s products and services,” Flock states in its August 2026 terms and conditions. The terms explain that the county keeps ownership of its data.

So this is backdoor spying by both government and a private corporation. Not cool.

I would call this unreasonable search and seizure. It's fine if a cop on patrol spots a suspicious car but to have surveillance cameras watching everyone and selling their information is a clear Fourth Amendment violation.

Fleeing GOP Senator Handing Power to Democrats

Timothy Birdnow

Republican U.S. Senator Steve Daines is leaving a parting gift as he walks away from his Senate seat in Montana.

Daines purposely waited until just before the filing deadline to announce his retirement so his hand-picked successor - U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme - would be the only candidate.

Daines is co-sponsoring a bill to make major changes to procedure in the Senate. He is co-sponsoring the legislation with Oregon Democrat Sen. Jeff Merkley, and they expect a vote while Daines is still in the Senate to help guarantee it's passage.

Partnering with a Democrat shows just where Daines, who was supported by President Trump, really stands. You don't partner with Democrats on things like this. It's a big FU to Trump and to America.

According to the Daily Signal article:

"A bipartisan Senate duo claims it has the answer to "Save the Senate.” The proposal to eliminate cloture votes, limit dead floor time, increase debate time, and create multiple "fast-tracks” for bills could allow the Senate to pass more legislation.

The rule changes, proposed by retiring Republican Sen. Steve Daines of Montana and Democrat Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon, seek to limit dead floor time, limit omnibus bills and backroom deals, and move legislation faster, much like the lower chamber. Their goal is to get the proposal passed before Daines departs and the new Congress convenes in January.

"More bills passed, more votes taken, less time wasted. That sums up,” Daines said in a Semafor interview with Merkley announcing the proposal."

If Democrats are for this there is something wrong with it and either Daines doesn't know this or he's screwing us. I favor the latter interpretation; he's been in the Senate long enough to know how they operate.

Ending cloture means more filibusters and less done, not more. If Daines truly wanted to limit filibusters he would have eliminated the filibuster, not cloture. Cloture is what ends a filibuster.

Senator Mike Lee had this to say about this bill:

"I’m concerned that this proposal would have many of the downsides of eliminating the filibuster and none of the upsides,”

Jeff Merkley (rhymes with Berkeley)" a progressive champion and a workhorse for working families, democracy, and climate.". Is that really who you want to crawl into bed with?

But Daines is doing it and it's going to burn the GOP, I have zero doubt of that.

So why did Daines wait until he retired? Why is he retiring in the first place? The suddenness of his retirement suggests somebody found something on him and he may well be a blackmail victim.

Senator Daines has near perfect attendance and he's never once voted against the party line. Don't know if he believes it or is just a good foot soldier for the Republican Establishment.

I am all for reforms but if Democrats want them you have a problem.

It hurts to lose a guaranteed supporter but on the other hand Daines is probably leaving for the same reason that so many RINO's are leaving and he's getting his pick of replacements (assuming he wins) so no doubt the replacement will be similar to Mr. Daines.

I doubt this will pass but you never know. If it does I hope the Republicans don't get hornswoggle as they usually do, but I have great faith in them. They always think they are ahead of the game when they are in fact well behind. Republicans are like George on Seinfeld; thinking Cramer is a buffoon but he's way ahead of the dim-witted George.

Baseball Memories

Timothy Birdnow

Here is an article reminiscing about the legendary Cardinals pitcher Bob Gibson.

A point most people do not know; Gibson was annoyed something awful by Tim McCarver, the Cards catcher. My dad told me about how one time Gibson had put a second guy on base and McCarver came out to the plate "You got two guys on base Bob" to which Gibson testily replied "I know...I put them there". They didn't much like each-other but they worked well together.

I bring it up mainly to reminisce a bit myself.

I was born in 1964, the year the Cardinals won the World Series. My father was a YUUUUGGGE sports fan in general and Cardinals fan in particular. I chose the very last game to come into this world.

My mother went into labor during the game and my father made her wait until the game was over to take her to the hospital.

So I bleed Cardinal Red; I was literally born the day the Cards won the Series.

I feel bad; I was 18 days late. My mom wasn't mad at my dad; she had had false labors a couple of time before D-Day and so she just sat there with contractions coming while my father cheered Bob Gibson and the boys on to victory.

I'm sure it crimped his style though.

If any of you have ever been in a town with a baseball team that won the Series you know it's one of the most amazing, exciting, joyous things you will experience in life. I remember the huge party that erupted in '82 when the Cards beat the Brewers for the championship! It's pure magic!

So I suppose I'm rooting for the Brewers now. I can't say I like blue Milwaukee but I like it better than L.A. And they, like St. Louis, were once a big beer town.

Wonder if the Old Milwaukee will be flowing in the taverns? Not sure even Milwaukee still drinks that.

A friend's father used to drink that stuff and it was o.k. if you drank it FAST. Let it warm much and it was pretty, well, putrid I suppose. But it was cheap, and my friend's dad had a beer fridge that was probably 33 degrees, as cold as you could get beer without it freezing. But, as I say, you had to slam it pretty quick or ugggh...

Anyway good luck to the Brewers.

Interesting Times

More bad news for the Chicoms.

China Economy 2026: Deflation, a Property Crisis, and Growth Without Demand

A word to the wise - deflation is as destructive as inflation, if not more so. Your money is worth more but there are fewer jobs and fewer goods and services and credit is nigh unto impossible to get

The United States had a problem with deflation during the latter days of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and it led to the rise of the Populist Party and the "Free Silver" issue upon which William Jennings Bryan made his fame with his legendary "cross of gold" speech "you shall not crucify Mankind of a cross of gold!" he exclaimed in his speech. That was because the Populists were demanding a bimetallic standard for money, which would lead to inflation. Bryan was a Democrat and he stole their thunder with this. It worked and we've been on an inflationary track ever since. (Gee, thanks!) But the problems with deflation were real, and especially the farmers hated it because it tightened credit ad farmers live or die by credit.

The reason why deflation is so terrible for borrowers is that, while the value of money increases, the amount of money the borrower has to pay to the bank remains constant, so essentially the debtor is giving more and more of his wealth to the bank with every payment. If, to simply the matter, you borrow a hundred thousand dollars from the bank and the deflation rate is 5% you would essentially lose that five percent as you pay it back, and that would compound along with interest rates. The price of goods and services decreases with deflation, but so too does the cost of your debt in real terms.

This is different from disinflation, which is a decline in the rate of inflation. But once it falls below zero it becomes deflation. Goods are cheaper but it hurts manufacturing for that same reason and so a producing economy becomes an importing economy. Beware deflation in the U.S.; the internationalists may move to trigger it to force the U.S. back into dependency on foreign manufacturers.

Deflation also leads to less demand because prices are falling and if you wait they will fall further. We've seen this with new products like computers; once only rich people bought them because they were too expensive. Then prices dropped. Now you can get them for cheap and now everyone buys them. That is how it will go with deflation, only by the time people decide to buy they have no money because you also get wage cuts at the same time in a deflationary cycle. The rich get richer with deflation because their money grows in value, but the poor ultimately get poorer.

That is what is happening in China now. And the peasantry already was struggling; it's going to get a hell of a lot worse for the average Chinaman.

The problem of China is it is a command economy, a Fascist-style economy with corporate/government partnership (with government being far and away the senior partner) and the corporations are generally owned by party members. Crony capitalism we sometimes call it. This hollows out an economy because it is ultimately aimed at the good of the corporate owners (of whom G.K. Chesterton once quipped "the difference between a capitalist and a communist is a bigger paycheck" but he meant under a crony capitalist system like the Nazis had) and for the benefit of the government. The people in such a system get the leavings, and only then to guarantee they stay in the labor force.

The author of the linked article argues China is doing now what Japan did back in the nineties and he believes the same result is now happening to China. Probably true but Japan had a more free system than does China, even though they had a lot of government partnership with corporations (and you may remember Bill Clinton and Al Gore bragged and bragged on the Japanese system and how we needed that in America.) Japan was riding high until they started this fascist economic thing, and I have always known China was a Potemkin Village, a beautiful mask without a person behind it. The huge population and the ability to undercut the export market is what made the mask for them, but in the end their own people couldn't buy what they were making.

This is the inevitable end for any economy planned and controlled by government. Only truly free economies have any staying power when the cold wind blows.

It's getting chilly now in China and they are in peril, so there is every reason to expect them to do what all tinhorn dictatorships do - go on a foreign adventure of some sort.

The Chicoms are not going to go quietly into that good night. They have long bragged this is "their" century and have darkly warned war with the United States is inevitable. They may not be willing to go directly at us but watch for them making a move somewhere else in the world.

The most logical and softest target would be Siberia. The Russians wouldn't be able to stop them now, not unless they used nuclear weapons. But it would permanently break the relationship between the two countries and China needs Russia as an ally. They are part of the Axis.

Taiwan? Perhaps; lord knows they have coveted Taiwan since the Nationalists retreated to the island. But the U.S. would probably stop them under Donald Trump; easier to wait for a weaker President.

I'm not really sure where else they could act but I suspect they are going to have to do something soon. And of course now we have a potential plague pandemic...

We are sitting on a powder keg, not just with China and Russia and Iran. It looks remarkably similar to early 2014.

Anyway I think China's days as an economic superpower are numbered. Trump is squeezing the life out of their economy and they are being starved for things they need like oil. Asian oil isn't very helpful to them because it would be a mother to build pipelines over the Himalayas. They need oil from Iran and from Russia and they just aren't getting enough right now.

It is inevitable there will be shortages of all sorts of goods, and in fact as I point out in this article they are hoarding all kinds of stuff; gold, fertilizer, antibiotics, etc. They may well be planning for war.

War is never easy when you have an economic malaise though, and so they really need an existential threat without actual battlefield losses. Xi Jinping is in a bind.

(While I do not believe we are where we would need to be to witness Armageddon we are pretty close in terms of political and economic and cultural alignments. It will be something that stops the flow of oil from the Middle East that will trigger the Chinese invasion, and Russia will be brought into a war in Syria/Lebanon/Israel, something less clear than the Chinese involvement. And of course the Arab world will be in the thick of it, being in their backyard. Europe and the "West" of course will be the Big Dog in this, the Kingdom of the Antichrist.)

At any rate we live in interesting times, as the ancient Chinese curse would say. I suspect China will do something. Not sure what yet but something.

They, like everyone else in the world, can't wait for Donald Trump to leave office. IF the GOP loses the elections then Trump becomes a lame duck and China could take action against, say, Taiwan because Trump would be stopped from doing much by the Democrat-controlled Congress. The REPUBLICAN House has already voted to end the Iran War by exercising the War Powers Act (but it died in the Senate); change the balance of power and both chambers could well pass it. The War Powers Act does not require a 2/3 majority and the Democrats will probably change the Senate rules to rid themselves of that pesky filibuster when they take power - something John Tune refused to do.

If China invaded Taiwan the Democrats would probably invoke the War Powers Act and stop any military involvement by the United States, handing Xi and his thugs the victory they crave.

As it is the U.S. would be hard-pressed to engage in military combat with China; we've used up so much of our hardware against Iran. And China would have plenty of drones to fight with. Nobody has yet come up with a good defense against drone warfare, since a drone squadron doesn't care about losses; they are cheap to make and do not risk any lives.

We live in interesting times.

What Does China Know?

This from Mike

Off topic kinda. China observer is reporting panic buying of doxycycline and ciprofloxacin both antibiotics along with fever reducers in North East China as fears over a new pandemic rise .Doxycycline is said to be unattainable leading to people asking who is hording this drug and why. Since no one was held accountable for the covid outbreak the fear is China will overnight issue a lockdown and once again inoculate people with an unknown substance only telling them its for your own good. The mother of the woman killed by supposedly the pneumonic plague has called the Russian story BS. Test tubes used in biological research are both shatter proof and fire resistant. She isn't alone as researchers are demanding Russia turn over the gene sequencing that would show the exact cause of death. This could be unjust panic caused by covid or round 2 of something more lethal. Time will tell.

Tim adds:

China is the world's chief manufacturer of antibiotics producing a whopping 42% of the world's antibiotics, so a hording problem is more serious than everyone thinks; it means a worldwide shortage, which means the Chicoms are planning for something big. Either they know something we don't (and it would be the Communist Party too; the public does what they are told and only knows what they are told) or they are manipulating prices to help raise money for something. Either way there is something rotten in the state of Denmark here.

Antibiotics aren't the only thing China is hoarding. They are hoarding fertilizer, food, gold, and they are no longer exporting refined petroleum. These are the actions of a nation planning to go to war.

If the Chicoms aren't planning war they at least are planning for something as disruptive - an economic collapse or worldwide pandemic or whatnot. You don't start hoarding stuff if you don't have something to fear. And they are realists in China.

This is a story to keep an eye on.

Communism v. Christianity

Fay Voshell

Who can doubt that wherever communism has risen, war follows?

The carnage it has caused in this and the last century is beyond dispute. The staggering numbers of people executed, imprisoned, poisoned, starved, and exiled to gulags are almost beyond belief, as the authors of The Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression have meticulously documented. The authors are all European. All were and are deeply acquainted with communist ideology and its fruits. One, Stephane Courtois, was a committed Maoist during the 1960s.

The book documents the death toll: 25 million in the former Soviet Union, 65 million in China, 1.7 million in Cambodia. Wherever Communism took root, it immediately led to criminality, terrorist tactics, and suppression of opposition.

But what does communism war against?

The answer to that question is best answered by former true believers who assiduously worked to advance Communism, but who eventually rejected Communism and exposed it for the horrors it produces within any society in which it roots itself.

In America, that question was answered by Whittaker Chambers.

For Chambers, who was a member of the American Communist underground for 13 years and who decisively rejected communist ideology by 1938, the struggles of the West were a war between two irreconcilable faiths -- Communism and Christianity. He wrote:

"The 20th century… is the first century since life began when a decisive part of the most articulate section of mankind has not merely ceased to believe in God, but has deliberately rejected God… The most conspicuously menacing form of the rejection is Communism.”

Chambers, who became a committed Christian in the Quaker tradition, wrote of his experience of Communism and of his eventual rejection and exposure of its influence in America’s political and academic elite in his book Witness, published in May 1952 at the height of the Cold War. Much of the book focused on the 1948 House Committee on Un-American Activities’ Alger Hiss probe. Chambers was a witness against Hiss, who was an active member of the American Communist underground. He was also highly placed in FDR’s administration, including a position as advisor to the president at the calamitous Yalta Conference, which, despite Churchill’s opposition, legitimized the Soviet Union’s occupation and subsequent oppression of Eastern Europe -- including the Christian churches.

Today, it is still important to remember what Chambers wrote in the early fifties, a time during which the Cold War was at its height. Throughout the 799 pages of his book, Chambers points out the core belief system driving the communist ideologues who began infiltrating America’s institutions, including academia, which he saw as beginning to lean left by 1929.

Other institutions were infiltrated, including political entities.

Chambers relates that many Communists were well placed during the presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The New Deal and the subsequent establishment of a left-leaning, anti-Christian bureaucracy is a prime example of parasitic communist infiltration. "All the New Dealers I had known were Communists or near-Communists. None of them took the New Deal seriously as an end in itself. They regarded it as an instrument for gaining their own revolutionary ends.”

The New Deal wound up being a pink version of the red Soviet Five-Year Plans. More importantly, the bureaucracy founded in FDR’s tenure accelerated, eventually becoming a foundation of the enormous left-leaning Deep State apparatus that acts as an alternate governance that has been vitiating the American republic for decades. Until the advent of the Trump administration, it remained virtually untouched, encountering only sporadic resistance.

The deep infiltration of American institutions was not confined to national boundaries. As Chambers noted, communist influence was global: "There is an invisible chain of command that laces the world.” That invisible command was (and is) characterized by terrorism: "The communist party, despite occasional pious statements to the contrary, is a terrorist organization… It respects only force. Only terror terrifies it.”

He added that since Communism is globalist in nature and characterized by warfare, it inevitably comes into conflict with Christianity, the foundational belief system of the West and a supranational world view found in almost every corner of the globe. Christianity’s claims of a transcendent God who is the Creator of the universe and a supernatural order that influences the destinies of mankind and its institutions comes into direct confrontation with the Communist belief system, which believes only in the power of the human being and the almighty state. As Chambers noted, the communist worldview is "An attempt to imitate the escape of national and institutional boundaries as the Christian church did, but with the view of disrupting and destroying rather than reform.” (Italics mine.)

Chambers understood the Communist mentality because he lived within that worldview for many years. But as he witnessed the carnage that system of thought perpetrated, he understood that he must break from it. As he put it, "The Communist breaks because he must choose at last between irreconcilable opposites -- God or Man, Soul or Mind, Freedom or Communism.”

A realist, he believed the only answer to the terrors of Communism was probably the least likely choice. As Daniel J. Mahoney points out in his essay "Whittaker Chambers and the Crisis of the Modern Soul,” that option was that "The West must either ‘develop or recover’ those spiritual and moral resources that constituted its superiority over communism or risk irrevocably losing its soul.”

The option will only be realized with the rise of Christian opposition to a worldview that elevates man over God.

At this time, much of the Christian church is partially paralyzed into submission by the absorption of the leftist dogma that insists Christianity has no place in any sphere other than the church buildings. The retreat into a subculture has led to lack of discernment and a refusal to confront Communism -- as most Christians once failed to confront anti-Jewish and anti-Christian fascism.

The steady retreat from the secularized world stage is partly due to a vague and amorphous ecumenism that regards all faiths as equal and above judgment. The result is that many have failed to see communism regards the elimination of the Church as necessary in order the world it wishes to construct after the ruination of the West may rise.

But instead of recognizing and confronting the threat, the church generally has accepted faith as a merely private matter; or, as seems to suggest, the doctrines of faith become determined by group (synodal) consensus rather than by supernatural revelation.

Churches’ refusal or inability to acknowledge the applicability of the transcendent, supernatural Christian faith to all spheres of Western civilization has allowed the witless absorption of the leftist mentality--sometimes unconsciously, but often quite deliberately, as in the case of many Main Line denominations. Witness the capitulation of the Presbyterian Church USA to communist-inspired liberation theology.

But resistance by the Christian church to the corrosive effects of the communist faith now often allied with terrorist organizations, must happen if the West is to survive. The Church must confront the relentless anti-civilizational attacks presently ravaging Europe and now threatening America as well.

Resistance is possible.

But resistance can only begin by understanding, articulating, and confronting what Chambers saw as the "irreconcilable moralities” of Communism and Christianity.

Christian thought leaders can begin by recognizing what Chambers, immersed as he once was in the Communist faith, eventually discerned: "There are two great camps of men -- those who reject and those who worship God.”

Hitler Mussolini Takes Peruvian Town

Timothy Birdnow

And here we thought we won the Second World war!

Man named Hitler Mussolini elected mayor in Peru

Mussolini ranon the centre-left Ahora Nación party ticket and was elected mayor of Queropalca. The mayor of a neighboring Polish-majority town is said to be sandbagging defenses around the town square.

I know Nazis and probably Fascists fled to South America after the war (primarily to Argentina) but it's not exactly subtle to name your kid after the two worst Fascists in history.

The Smell of Victory

Timothy Birdnow

I know gamers often have bad hygiene, but come on!

Pokémon VGC champion says another player's BO caused him to vomit

Joe Louis fought many oddballs in his illustrious career but one of the more colorful characters was a guy named Two Ton Tony Galento. Galento was so nicknamed because he was obese, not merely a big heavyweight but obese, and proud of it. (That is very rare in boxing because usually it means the fighter has no stamina and Louis said he'd fun out of gas by the fourth round.)

But Galento had a secret weapon; he never, ever bathed. They say you could smell him blocks away. When he was in the ring no opponent wanted to clinch with him because he was so foul. He won a lot of fights just by getting his opponent to refuse to engage with him. Skunks crossed the street when Galento was coming.

This guy was kind of like that, I guess.

Galento, annoyed by Louis characterizing him as a third rate fighter, coined the phrase "I'll moider da bum."

And, despite having his face cut to the point it looked like ground beef, the stinking fat man knocked Louis down in the third round. Louis got up and promptly knocked Galento out in the fourth.

So I suppose this gamer was channeling his inner Two Ton.

Obama Judge Bocks Deportation of Criminal Illegal Shot by ICE

Timothy Birdnow

A Dominican illegal alien wanted for multiple crimes was recently shot by ICE agents in New York City. Now a judge has ordered he not be deported because we just don't have enough criminals nor illegal aliens in America, I suppose.

We need to start deporting these judges.

An Obamabot - US District Judge Paul Oetken - issued the ruling forcing ICE to keep hands off of Oscar Belgal, and it also forbids authorities from moving the criminal out of his jurisdiction so they cannot hope to get a fair deal from a more sane judge.

Belgal is appealing his detention on the grounds that illegal alien criminals have to make a living too.

So much of the judiciary was appointed by Obama and Biden and Bill Clinton largely because the Republicans operated under the premise of "to the victor go the spoils" yet when they were in power Democrats fought them tooth-and-nail over every appointment. So now the judiciary is crawling with radical leftists who are showing their hand because the word has gone out that they now have to earn their keep.

This case should not have made it before a judge at all; the man is an illegal alien and criminal and he has no right to access our courts in the first place.

Votes for Everyboy!

Timothy Birdnow

If non-citizens can vote, why not small children? The brain-dead (well, they already do in most Demcrat states)? Heck, why limit it to brain dead; why not the actual deceased? Maybe cats and dogs while we are at it.

https://www.westernjournal.com/constitutional-attorney-federal-judge-just-said-congress-cant-ban-noncitizen-voting-dead-wrong/

If a state can overrule the rest of America we wind up with the very problem the Constitution was designed to prevent - a nation ruled entirely by a couple of high population states. That was why the Senate was created in the first place.

This is a judge imposing the Democratic Socialists of America's platform. Radical democracy without any sort of boundaries.

If this judge wants aliens to vote then the simplest solution is to have no aliens in America; stop ALL immigration and remove any and every immigrant, legal and illegal, in this country. Somehow I suspect another Democrat judge will rule that unconstitutional too.

This is old, settled law and it is a massive overreach by this judge (who has forgotten that SCOTUS said District Judges did not have the authority to make nation-wide blanket rulings) who simply invented a new power inherent in the states. He's indulging a kind of nullification that would make John C. Calhoun feel like a hayseed.

This ruling should prompt Congress to dissolve this guy's district and make him seek work elsewhere.

Timothy Birdnow

Nope, the U.S. September heat wave was no record.

September Heat was no Record Many Records Set Decades Ago

Won't hear THAT on the evening news.

Mark Carney Elbows Canada to the Bottom

Tiothy Birdnow

Mark Caney's "elbows up" strategy of antagonizing the United States has led to massive jobs loss in Canada - 68000 in September (the equivalent of half a million jobs in the U.S.) and that after a loss in August of 41.700. Elbows up will soon mean as in downing a glass of Moosehead Lager as everyone will have nothing else to do eh?

The Canadian dollar has declined to a value of just shy of 70c U.S.

Considering our dollar is worth just a few pennies from what it once was a decline in the Canadian this far means inflation is going to spike. This was a 44% drop in value.

The article states:

For CTH readers, allow me to explain what is happening that is not found in the Canadian financial media.

Business investment is essentially at zero; nothing is happening. Multinational corporations who are spending in Canada are purchasing assets. Other vulture capitalists and China are looking at exploiting the shrinking Canadian system, which is giving the Canadian govt a false sense of investment security. However, these institutions are not investing for growth, they are simply purchasing assets – purchasing in advance of what they predict will be massive leverage for how they will exploit the commodity or asset they are purchasing.

Carney is selling Canadian assets, pipelines, raw materials, energy, infrastructure and airports. He is essentially carving up the economy, selling Canadian assets and trying to organize the economy so that Canadians don’t realize the GDP shrinking around them. But you will notice that positive economic activity, that is activity that would grow the GDP valuation, is not Canadian owned.

Corporations who operate inside Canada are not replacing retirees and/or ordinary turnover within their organizations. Corporations are downsizing as the internal economic activity shrinks. This is directly related to the September jobs data.

Meanwhile, through deportation and cutting off the avenues of illegal alien subsistence in America, Trump is putting pressure on the parasite class of illegal migrants and a portion of those are fleeing to Canada. Trump is transferring the economic dependency to Carney.

So Mark Carney is selling off Canada to prove he's as tough and as smart as Donald Trump. He's willing to wreck the whole country. But why shouldn't he; he can always go back to Europe and run some fool agency there when it all goes south.

My father said when he was in the infantry they used to tell the men "I want to see asses and elbows" meaning to get moving. That is what we'll see from Mark Carney when this all falls apart.

Fauci was a NeverTrumper

Timothy Birdnow

Just as we thought all along; Anthony "I AM Science" Fauci hated Donald Trump and wanted him removed from office.

Rand Paul releases new Fauci diary pages showing doctor disparaged Trump, called for his impeachment

If he wanted Trump impeached, how far was this man willing to go? Far enough to release a nasty cold virus to gin up a pandemic?

Pike "Angry" about Botched Execution

Timothy Birdnow

Oh boo-hoo!

Christa Pike is ‘up and walking’ after botched execution — and she remembers: ‘She is angry’

So she's mad the state was unable to finish her off. She should be thanking them for screwing up and saving her worthless life; she now has a chance to find salvation for her soul, which would be lost otherwise. Hell is suffering eternal and she managed to cheat that for at least a short while.

A botched execution gave her a second chance at escaping damnation; she should be grateful and thank God.

Pike, you may remember, murdered a romantic rival with a torture fest and satanic invocations. If anyone deserved the death penalty it was she. That she was in her late teens is immaterial.

I see no signs she took advantage of her time incarcerated to make amends or repent of the evil she promulgated. Satan never keeps any bargains and I suppose she expected him to go to her rescue. Fat chance.

Hail Mary Pass; Democrats Say Trump Asks Iranians to Nuke America

Timothy Birdnow

In a recent speech about the need to continue action in Iran President Trump made the following statement:

"And I said it the other day: Let them hit a missile into San Diego or Los Angeles,” Trump said. "On the way - let them hit - you want to see a horror show? You want to see problems? Let them hit San Diego. Let them hit Los Angeles. And you want to see some bad things happen, you want to see a country that would be in freefall.”

"We're not going to let that happen. We protect our cities, we protect our country. We're not letting that happen. And they'd use it too. They'd use it. They would use it."

So naturally the Democrats made the claim Trump was inviting them to attack our cities.

Of course they cut out the second paragraph of the comment and are arguing that the President of the United States wants the Islamic Republic to wipe out our cities in a blaze of hellfire. I cannot fathom how any person with an I.Q. greater than a pants size could possibly believe that is what he was calling for, but the Democrats are not people with I.Q. levels above a pants size.

Even CNN had to admit this was a fake, a hatchet job on the President reminiscent of the tempest in a tea thimble that was the Charlottesville comment about fine people being on both sides (Trump was referencing on both sides of the argument about keeping Civil War statues or taking them down.) You remember that; they said Trump was calling neo-Nazis "fine people" when, in the same breath, he had condemned the Nazis. It was a lie but the stupid among us (and you know who you are) believed it anyway because they wanted to.

So now they are trying to suggest Trump wanted America to be nuked. Well, why ask the Iranians to do it? Russia has more and better nukes and they can hit America, and they are in a desperate death-struggle right now. IF Trump wanted America to burn it would be far easier to ask Vladimir Putin to do it.

This is evidence the Democrats are truly getting desperate; this is the kind of Hail Mary pass you throw when you are way behind.

Don't Believe Doomsday Porn Polling

Timothy Birdnow

John Enten of CNN says the Democrats are not gaining ground and in fact the GOP is doing better than in prior years.

These Numbers Should Terrify Democrats Ahead of the Midterms

From Matt Margolis at Townhall:

According to CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten, there's some incredibly good news for the GOP in both the short term and long term, which may matter more than the polls.

CNN anchor John Berman set up the segment by noting that plenty of surveys show the races slipping away from Republicans. He then asked Enten what the party could feel good about. Enten mentioned party registration in the swing states that usually decide presidential elections and compared today's margins with Election Day 2018, President Donald Trump's first midterm. Republicans have improved their standing against Democrats by four points in Arizona, five in Nevada, seven in Pennsylvania, and eight in North Carolina.

"So, when you take a look at how people are actually registering, this is not polling data, compared to where we were eight years ago, Republicans are doing considerably better in what are the swing states, at least normally in presidential elections," Enten said.

Berman pushed back with the obvious objection. That's a comparison to 2018, and the polls have been drifting toward Democrats for the past two years. So have Democrats made up any of that ground since 2024?

"In Pennsylvania, no. North Carolina, no. Nevada, no. Arizona, no," Enten replied. "There may be some tiny late gains that are going on right now, right, that I think over the last month maybe Democrats are gaining. But when you take the longer-term view versus the 2024 election in which Republicans won all of these states, Democrats are, in fact, not actually gaining ground."

So registration suggests a blue fizzle at best. But there is more:

Then came the historical context.

Enten told viewers that in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Nevada, and Arizona, Republicans hold their best registration position relative to Democrats in any midterm in at least two decades.

"The bottom line is this: Republicans, right now, are in a much stronger position than they have been, not just compared to eight years ago, but over the long term as well, the relative health of the Republican Party, at least in terms of party registration, is pretty gosh darn good relative to the Democrats," Enten explained.

Remember, Enten is an analyst from the radical CNN and not a guy at Fox. If HE is saying this...

What will matter is voter turnout. Fortunately the GOP has been seeing a surge in mature adults, the silver hair brigade, and they vote religiously.

The mainstream media and corporate polling suggests the GOP is in trouble and they are sticking with that. They hope to get Republican candidates to distance themselves from President Trump and MAGA and thus turn voters off. This is an old trick they have used over and over and it used to work most of the time. Most Republicans in days gone by have started getting sweatflops and knocking knees when faced with these doomsday porn polls. I don't think that many of them are falling for it again.
