Biden Commutes Death Row
Timothy Birdnow
Tha MF Joe Biden went and did it to the American People.
Biden Commutes Sentences of Nearly All Federal Death Row Inmates
He wasn't content with burning down America while in office, his party gift to us on Christmas is to keep these people alive, people who were sentenced to death for horrific crimes.
Merry Christmas all the families and loved ones of the victims!
I thought it quite mad when Leftists were suggesting he do this and didn't think even Biden was a big enough SOB to try it; turns out I was wrong.

Essay on the Obama Order
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a long and interesting essay that half gets it. I have a number of issues with this writer's views but overall he's starting to awaken.
He argues that the sea change we've seen in America in recent days is largely the work of Barack Obama and while Obama certainly put many of the formal structures in place these tactics predated the coming of The One. While the author admits that he doesn't seem to grasp that this has been a century long project that has labored to implement the Ruling Class dream of world government and international socialism. Obama was merely one brick in that wall.
Obama, with the aid of David Axelrod, simply updated century-old tactics used by Marxists and Fascists the world over, updated these to work in the age of the internet. But what he did was no different than what Hitler or Mussolini did; they all co-opted the big corporations and government, forging a seamless whole that worked tirelessly to promote the new vision for their respective countries. Peer pressure and twisting the educational system, along with the use of the new electronic media, was a hallmark of fascism and naziism and this is essentially no different.
Lies are the natural medium for tyrants and dictators, and gaslighting the public is exactly what they have alwasy done. For example, Gaius Caligula left Rome at the head of an army to much fanfare to conquer Britain. He got a few miles from town, turned around, grabbed some farmers to represent British captives, and then marched triumphantly into Rome, proclaiming he had conquered Britain. The public cheered wildly and pretended to believe what they knew was a lie because the repercussions would be dire.
Caligula was batcrap crazy, of course, and everyone knew this was balogna. But it is fundamentally no different than what this author is discussing; an attempt to make people believe a lie to empower those in a position of authority.
And none of this is much different from the tall tales and legends that grew up around some political leaders. Take "honest Abe" the railsplitter who used his homespun background to great advantage while implementing a rather tyrannical system (Lincoln suspended the rule of habeas corpus, for instance, and imprisoned newspapermen who wrote unflattering stories about him or his government) but who today is "the Great Emancipator" and considered the savior of "democracy". Lincoln knew how to play the game. Other examples are both Roosevelts, who pretty much gaslit the American People. (In fact, Franklyn was in a wheel chair but the media refused to report that to the public).
The reality is the press turned hard left long ago, with the PUlitzers and Hearst competing to see who could out-Progressive the other and the two divied up the nation's news outlets. We've had a hundred years of media monopoly. Then when the internet came along the U.S. government funded the creation of Google and probably Facebook too, and these two entities now own most of said internet.
What Obama did was not new; it was just the natural next step.
(BTW Dwight D. Eisenhower warned of the rise of the technocracy in his Farewell Address. Do read it all.)
This author seems to be looking at this too much through the lense of politics and technology but seems to miss the big picture. Groups like the John Birch Society have long chronicled a rising technocratic/commercial conspiracy and were mocked for their troubles. Yet this seems to be what we have seen come in recent years. Cold comfort to the Cassandras in the JBS, I'm sure.
The author says "every form of totalitarianism is unique" but I disagree. They are pretty much all the same, except they have different details that inform how they oppress. But the methods are always the same, and always advancing as technology gives them an ever-tightening grip.
The Nazis were not just about Jew hatred. They were socialists who wanted government's hand in everything and wanted the state to be God. Mussolini - a Fascist, granted, which is different than a Nazi - famously stated "everything within the state, nothing outside of the state" which is the exact same philosophy as any marxist holds. The key difference between Fascism and Marxism is that the state does not own the means of production outright (yet) and believes in using Man's natural spirituality - something the marxists reject in favor of economic determinism alone. But otherwise their goals were the same. Naziism too.
And the Nazis looked quite modern if you understand what they believed. They were big into environmentalism (before the word was coined) and set aside large swaths of land for parks and nature preserves. In fact, part of why they hated Jews was because of this environmentalism; they believed in Darwinian Natural Selection and thought of Jews as an "invasive species" that needed to be weeded out. They also wanted only public education. They also were health Nazis, seeking to control the public diet and force people to exercise. They also wanted to contro the media and ban the Church or seriously regulate it. They hated smoking. They regulated industry to the point where only major corporations under their thumbs were allowed. Many of the Nazis were homosexuals, I might add, and many promoted promiscuity even while holding double standards about how this was practiced.(The double standard was evident in the Nazi relationship to homosexuals; the effeminate types were condemned and mistreated while the butch gays were a sizable portion of the Nazi party, most notably Ernst Rohm.)
All of this is seen in our modern era and also much of it was practiced by the Bolsheviks and many other leftist tyrants.
I would add the Bolsheviks were anti-semitic too, as is our current modern Democratic Leftists.
The author also seems to ascribe to an old, rather riduculous theory, that people did not have internal monologues in ancient times but that this is a mdoern construct of recent centuries. I first encountered this theory in a college psychology course and thought it ridiculous at the time and still do. That the Greeks and Romans and Hebrews don't mention internal monologues hardly disproved their existence. Bicameral mentality is a hypothesis introduced by Julian Jaynes. He claims that ancient humans heard voices like schizophrencs from the right hemisphere of their brains and that was the way the gods came into existence; people assumed they were hearing a separate entity when in fact it was just the right side of their brains talking to them. Somehow this was lost in the rising modernity and we now subsume the right side of the brain. That is utter hogwash without any evidence, if you ask em. How did this change then? It wouldn't have. Oh, and the right hemisphere lacks a language center so cannot speak verbally. People with split brain syndrome show that.
Still his argument isn't wrong; he believes the Left is trying to degrade consciousness and put an outside entity in charge of our thought process. (Well, Orwell and Huxley both said that long ago.) As he puts it, it's institutionalized schizophrenia.
And we see that in the young today, who are always on their smartphones and do not seem to have an original thought that does not come out of a machine. They are the ultimate slaves; their thoughts are not their own.
The author rightly points to Elon Musk's purchase of Twitter as a major turning point; the power of mind control only works as long as everybody is on board. Like a leveee; you can't have one setion open or the flood waters will pour in. Once Musk came into the picture and liberated one of the cornerstones of the leftist media control the dominoes began to fall.
But they aren't fallen yet and the Left will begin anew, make no mistake.
The author (David Samuels) came to his senses over Obama's policies to Iran, and he touts Netanyahu's strong stand as a key to the crunbling of the "permission structure". Perhaps but I think it was inevitable; Netanyahu had to protect his own country and just couldn't continue the farce.
But it was certainly another jenga piece removed from the dark tower.
I wrote about just why the Left loves Muhammed and this explains why Obama (probably Muslim himself) promoted the Ayatollahs to the detriment of the rest of the world. Islam was the model for the Left since socialism was first invented by Rousseau at the dawn of the 19th century. Obama and company naturally seek to support it.
In the end if this "New World Order" with the artificial reality really is finished I would ascribe that to God and not Man. Enough people prayed for Divine intervention, clearly. IF.
At any rate, do read the whole essay; it's worth your time, even if it is a bit too long.

China Nuking Up
Timothy Birdnow
A report says China will build one thousand new nuclear weapons by 2030.
That will increase their nuclear stockpile to approximately 1500, and these will all be new weapons and no doubt superior to our own aging Reagan-era arsenal.
The U.S., by comparison, has 5,428 warheads as esto,ated by the Union of concerned scientists (I've seen lower estimates, as low as 3,000), but many of them are quite old, some predating Reagan, and the missiles still use vacuum tubes, for crying out loud! Our newest weapons were built under Trump,but not that many. I rather suspect China will be our equal with 1500 new weapons as half of ours probably won't detonate when used.
One article from 2015 stated the average age was 27 years,so the U.S. arsenal goes back to the eighties.
Trump tried to reverse that but had to build all new labs and factories to upgrade our weapons systems, and he didn't actually produce many new ones. Sadly Biden killed these programs before they bore fruit (as in mushrooms).
During the obama era Barrack Hussein closed the very last plutonium plant in America, by the way, so we cannot even produce this vital component of nuclear weapons.
BTW the Russian arsenal is 5,580 nuclear weapons and all of them were built in this century, most in 2005 but many later.
Bolth the U.S. and Russia have just 1,600 actively deployed warheads though.
So a Sino-Russian pact could fry the U.S. if it so chose, and we may not be able to shoot back all that well.
This means Trump will have to spend a fortune to retool our nuclear arsenal (along with the fortune he'll spend to deport all the aliens) and hence inflation isn't going away any time soon, alas.
Anyway China is determined to reach parity with the U.S. in terms of nukes and we should be very concerned about that.
How do we stop them? We need to squeeze China economically. Trump's planned tariffs are the key, in my humble opinion.
I've long argued China is a paper tiger that will fold if facing any real competition. Right now it has none,because the Western world likes the cheap goods and likes the pollution being in China and not in THEIR backyards. There was no reason for China to become the behemoth it is now; that was a conscious policy by the internationalists and the Establishment in the West to build a "counterbalance" to the U.S. and to create a cheap manufacturing center. But the Chinese economy has always been a command economy and itt's corporations are not free market at all but owned entirely by the Communists in China. That is not a long-term stable economic model. China itself needs to create millions of jobs each year for those entering the workforce. The whole model is predicated on an ever-expanding economy. If they face true economic hardship they will probably collapse.
Yes,their economy is better than the old Soviet economy, but you may remember there was much talk of the "Soviet miracle" back before WWII too. That was a potemkin village, a mirage, a false front. I think China's economy is as well. We see signs of that now, with the real estate collapse and other such problems. I think one big push will end the Chicom economic dominance. Oh, and India is gunning for them, and they have everything the Chinese had to work with too. India is the coming power in my view and in the view of others.
There is only so much of the pie that Chines enjoys to go around. If India takes a sizable part of China's market shares the Chinese economy will crash.
And that will end their plans for nuking up. Or so we must hope.

Jussie Going Bye-Bye
Timothy Birdnow
Justin "Baby Doc" Trudeau appears to be fin!
Jagmeet Singh of the NDP called for Jussie to walk away. The NDP is a leftist party that is allied with Trudeau's Liberal Party in a coalition government. No NDP no Trudy.
It's high time Jussie leave the stage and let Canada heal after his reign of error.
I know I mentioned this before, but now with his coalition partners bailing on him it seems almost certain the Castro look-alike (Ahem!) will finally be taking his last bow on the political stage. Let's hope.

Sexual Grooming by NIH
Timothy Birdnow
The Biden Administration ran a pilot program under the National Institute of Health (NIH) to train teens to be queer activists, taking them out of school for this training. Oh, and parents were not notified of this on the request of the NIH.
This is nothing more than sexual grooming of children by perverts. Nothing more.
If I ever doubted there was a devil I would be disabused of that notion by things like this. It's not just misguided but truly evil.
Oh, and how does this relate to "health"? It can only be linked via "mental health" but what is being promoted is the inverse; it's the thing causing the kids problems in the first place being elevated to acceptance. It's like a girl with an eating disorder being told she's more beautiful if she gets thinner.

Deportations Way Down Under Biden
Timothy Birdnow
Joe Biden deported 300,000 fewer illegals than did President Donald Trump over his four year tenure of office, despite the huge increase in illegal aliens invading the country.
I have the next target for Abbott of Texas or DeSantis in Florida - Joe Biden's house in Delaware. Start shipping the illegals there, once Biden is forced to return to his home and make him live with the consequences of his actions.

Feds Stonewalling Florida Investigation of Trump Assassin
Timothy Birdnow
Florida's investigation into the assassination attempt against Donald Trump is being stonewalled by the Federal government.
According to the Epoch Times article:
What does the federal government not want brought to light? I have theorized all along that these two attempts on Trump's life were not just "lone crazed gunman" but were amateurs set up to take Trump out and probably ultimately hired by our own government.
The actions of those responsible for securing the President-elect and charged with investigating the two attempts on Trump's life all suggest both incompetentce beyond mere accident and an effort to hide what happened.
For instance, the Pennsylvania shooter's body was seized by the feds and cremeated before the medical examiner was done with his autopsy. Now why is that?
There is something very, very rotten in Denmark going on.
Florida's investigation into the assassination attempt against Donald Trump is being stonewalled by the Federal government.
According to the Epoch Times article:
Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody alleged that the Department of Justice informed the state that it had to suspend its investigation into Routh, citing a federal law about prosecuting crimes against significant public figures.
"It was made known that they intended to shut down our investigation and invoke federal jurisdiction in doing so,” Moody said Dec. 18 at a press conference. "We didn’t believe it should be interpreted in the way that they suggested.”
At the same time, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis wrote that the federal government has "stonewalled Florida’s investigation of the Trump assassination attempt at every turn” and that he supports Moody’s attempts to move forward in their case against Routh.
"The tide will turn on January 20th and we fully expect that the federal roadblocks will be removed,” he wrote on social media, referring to the date that Trump will take office. "The would-be assassin needs to face the full force of justice and the people deserve the truth about the defendant’s history, motivations and plan.”
The Department of Justice did not respond to an Epoch Times request for comment on Dec. 19.
Sooo..."It was made known that they intended to shut down our investigation and invoke federal jurisdiction in doing so,” Moody said Dec. 18 at a press conference. "We didn’t believe it should be interpreted in the way that they suggested.”

Drone Psy-Op
Timothy Birdnow
Here is an interesting conspiracy theory about the drone activity over Jersey and New York and the like.
The claim is that these are Chinese drones authorized by the U.S. government to put on a show for some sort of psy-op being run by the current junta in power here.
There’s good news and bad news, and they are both the same. Biden has now admitted on video that the whole drone psyop was authorized, saying "There’s a lot of drones authorized, up there (referring to over New Jersey), one started and everybody wound up getting in on the deal.” Yes, he said, "the deal.” Then he concluded his blunder slip-up about the psyop saying, "We’re following it closely. So far, no sense of danger.” Notice he called it a "deal” and said "so far” no sense of danger. Watch:
So, a deal was made, and most likely with China. Now, if you missed the spectacular drone show that took place in September in China, involving over 3,000 coordinated drones performing amazing feats of technical expertise, you might understand the show that’s going on over U.S. skies right now. Watch this:
A single laptop was all it took to control this world-record-setting drone show, with each drone monitored remotely in real time, coordinating with all the other drones to create images in the sky that the human eyes can’t seem to look away from. There were drones that looked like shooting stars and dashing meteors. Thousands of circling orbs danced in the night sky. What a spectacle. It was like a circus of drones. Nobody was terrified or screaming "aliens have come!”
The author concludes this is an effort to turn people away from God and to believe in space aliens. He may not be wrong.

Chinese National Pleads Guilty over Chicom Police Stations
Timothy Birdnow
So the Chi-coms ARE running police stations and imposing their own laws on expatriated Chinese in the U.S.!
Chinese Agent Pleads Guilty to Operating Secret Police Station in NYC
FTA:
This sort of foreign interference in our laws and our people is what led to the Aliens and Sedition Act in the 18th century and it has always been a concern. Part of why many opposed the immigration of Italians to America was the fear of their allegiance to another power (which turned out to be a secret society named Cosa Nostra.) As the Bible states you cannot serve two masters; by having these "police station" in the U.S. China is asserting authority over immigrants into our country. It's either our country or it's theirs; they have no say in how we run it.
And these are the people Joe Biden has been in bed with for years now.
When President Trump assumes office he needs to make repisals for this activity against the People's Republic. You cannot let a nation use covert agants so undermine our national sovereignty in this way, or abuse immigrants to our country in this fashion.
So the Chi-coms ARE running police stations and imposing their own laws on expatriated Chinese in the U.S.!
Chinese Agent Pleads Guilty to Operating Secret Police Station in NYC
FTA:
Chen Jinping, a 60-year-old U.S. citizen, pleaded guilty on Dec. 18 in front of U.S. District Judge Nina Morrison, a development that prosecutors lauded as the latest progress in countering the Chinese regime’s transnational repression scheme.
Chen was one of two individuals the FBI arrested in April 2023 over the illegal police station, one of more than 100 identified overseas Chinese police outposts Beijing had operated globally. He faces up to five years in prison.
The New York City site runs under the cover of a Chinese organization called the America ChangLe Association in Manhattan’s Chinatown. The association ostensibly serves as a mingling place for immigrants from China’s southeastern Fujian Province, where the namesake district, ChangLe, is based. Chen was the secretary general of the association at the time of the arrest, while the other man arrested, Lu Jianwang, was the former president. Lu, also known as "Harry Lu,” has pleaded not guilty to the charges and is awaiting trial.
The station was set up in mid-February 2022. It assisted an official from China’s Ministry of Public Security, the country’s police apparatus, to locate a person of interest, a California pro-democracy advocate who had served as an adviser to a 2022 congressional candidate from New York state, the federal complaint states.
According to the court document, weeks before the station came into being, Lu forwarded a notice to Chen that stated, "In order to establish a smooth connection to the remote checkup identification renewal system every overseas service station has to grant access privileges to the 110 system.”
The number 110 is synonymous with police in China. The notice instructed recipients to provide the service station IP address to a designated email address

Covering Biden
Timothy Birdnow
The Biden Administration took great pains to hide Joe's imploding mental health.
Everything from controlling Biden's schedule to adjusting the lighting in his appearances to make him appear more robust were implemented by his people to gaslight America.
Apparently the country was being run by Biden's advisers - the so-called "Biden Whisperer" who set policy and handled the affairs of state. Biden was merely a figurehead.
But we already knew that.
Still, I wonder if this isn't a case of gaslighting itself. Biden is facing potential criminal charges when he gets out of office over decades of dirty dealings. And we all remember Robert Hur choosing not to prosecute Biden over his stealing classified documents when he had no right to possess them (unlike Trump who, as President, could have whatever documents he wanted) because he was Veep and before that just a Senator. So is this a way to try to minimize Biden's legal jeopardy? I've theorized that Biden played the senile old man for just this purpose in times gone by. Now perhaps he's getting a little help from his friends.
The Wall Street Journal has a conservative editorial board but was declared to be the most LIBERAL major news source a number of years back by a study from UCLA. It is more liberal than the New York Times in it's news coverage.
A poll conducted a few years ago agreed with this assessment.
So is Joe innocent by way of mental unfitness? Or is he just slithering out of the mess he's made? If the latter he needs to compensate the victims, which includes ALL of us! As ye steal so shall ye weep!

Due Process over '20 Fraud Goes to SCOTUS
Timothy Birdnow
Now this is interesting!
It appears the 2020 election fraud case is headed to the Supreme Court. Yes, I did say that!
Seems two brothers - Loy Brunson and Raland Brunson - filed two separate lawsuits in Utah over violation of due process in the refusal of Congress to investigate allegations of vote fraud AS REQUIRED BY LAW in the 2020 theft of the Presidency.
The Tenth Circuit was unable to decide the case and the U.S. Supreme Court has actually placed it on the docket.
According to the article:
The reality is the whole election fraud business was clearly swept under the rug by both parties who were eager to get back to doing the work of lining their own pockets the American People. They wanted to make Trump a bad dream from which they gratefully awakened.
But it didn't work out that way and he's back and the Supreme Court will now hear this case. If the brothers win it will force Congress to investigate serious allegations of vote fraud in any future election.
We sorely need that. The Democrats have stolen not just the Presidency but multiple House and Senate seats over the years and nothing has ever been done to stop them because there has been no political will. Republicans have been frightened to act, probably out of fear of blackmail and lawfare. There is "no controlling legal authority" except the very people who benefitted from the theft.
That has to change if America is to be restored.

" Their case hinges on constitutional amendment violations of the right to due process. When an election has concerns of fraud, constitution allows for a 10 day investigation to look at the potential fraud questions and determine if fraud did or did not occur.
This case is NOT one of election fraud, it is about congress and the senate NOT doing their oath of office and violating Amendment I to the constitution, Article VI of the constitution, the 14th Amendment of the constitution, section 3, the 5th and the 9th Amendment of the constitution, as well as a couple of Utah State Constitution articles. Most pertain to due process, the right to investigation, and not performing the 10 day investigation when questions of election fraud were presented to congress. "

Christmas Market Killing in Germany
Timothy Birdnow
Timothy Birdnow
A Saudi doctor rammed his car through a crowd at a Christmas market with five dead and two hundred injured in Magdeburg Germany.
His name was not released by authorities but the media scuttlebut is he is someone named Taleb A. who allegedly is an anti-Muslim immigrant from Saudi Arabia. The media is quite quick to claim he is anti-Muslim even though we don't have a lst name - now how do they determine this?
Here is the money quote from the article:
According to the AP article he was a "former Muslim" who was angry with the German government for allowing so many Muslims in, and he was a strong supporter of the Right Wing Alternative for Germany party (ADF).
See, it's all "right wing hate" and not Islamic jihad.
Germany's government is collapsing and the Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, lost a no-confidence vote recently, forcing new elections. I smell a rat here. I suspect the German government is promoting the wrong guy, or if not is lying about his views to tar the conservatives who will be running against Scholz and the leftist coalition backing him.
The article quotes an anti-terrorism expert - Peter Neumann - who says this man in no way fits the profile of a terrorist:
"After 25 years in this ‘business’ you think nothing could surprise you anymore. But a 50-year-old Saudi ex-Muslim who lives in East Germany, loves the AfD and wants to punish Germany for its tolerance toward Islamists — that really wasn’t on my radar,"
Yet the German government is insisting this guy was a right-wing extremist:
"On Saturday, German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser told reporters: "At this point, we can only say for sure that the perpetrator was evidently Islamophobic — we can confirm that. Everything else is a matter for further investigation and we have to wait.”'
Nancy Fraser is a member of the leftist Social Democrats, the same party as Chancellor Olaf Scholz, you know, the guys who made this mess in Germany and who want to win back power in the February election.
I think they are gaslighting us.
And if not? The Koran has a concept called Taqqiya, which means you can lie to infidels to advance the cause of Islam. One would suspect this guy did precisely that.
None of this would be an issue had Germany kept these "refugees" out in the first place.
BTW He ran an organization helping Muslims immigrate to Germany.

Drones Everywhere
Timothy Birdnow
There's everywhere! They're everywhere!
US drone mystery deepens with 5,000+ UAV sightings, including military bases
This increasingly looks like the precursor for an invasion,or at least some sort of major event.
This article tries very hard to justify the government's reassurances, but color me most skeptical.
If any drone is flying over a military installation it should be shot down without delay.

"Gender Fluidity" is the Social Construct
Timothy Birdnow
One must wonder at "transgenderism" in the animal kingdom. While animals don't wear clothes or makeup so it's harder to tell what "gender" rolls they are playing it is generally possible to see who is male and female. You don't really find male lions hunting with the gals, for instance. You would if "gender" were fluid.
While this paper does not address this issue directly it does analyse the sex differences in mice that are subject to inflammatory damage in vitro and finds the females far less prone to most behavioral changes from the developmental problems created by hypoxia and the like.
So what does that tell us? We all know boys are more likely to get a plethora of issues like Aspbergers and autism as well as ADHD etc. This paper shows that it is sex-selective even in animals and goes back to the very earliest stages of life. So, sex (and gender) are NOT simple social constructs as the looney left is claiming but instead are in fact hard-wired biological imperatives.

The Groomers at U. of Minnesota
Timothy Birdnow
The University of Minnesota has been paying to get five year olds to play with sex-change dolls in an overt effort to sexually groom them to switch hit early on.
'They want to groom your children': University of Minnesota fronted cash to get 5-year-olds to play with sex-change dolls
This is a state college and thus funded by taxpayers. They have absolutely no free speech rights to permit them to do this.
Time for a class-action lawsuit.
This transgender business is a long time in the making. I remember back in the '90's when there was this crazy idea floated of "male lesbians". Feminists kooks found a way to blame men for everything and still have the pleasure of a few around by saying they aren't masculine but actually womyn in men's bodies. This was a short-lived thing and everyone laughed it off, but it was a trial balloon for transgenderism. Now they are openly claiming we do not know what sex a person is; it's just how they feel.
And in the process they are erasing every gain made by women over the years as men are now openly competing with them. Feminism forsooth! They are pushing women to the back of the bus and they have nobody but themselves to blame.

CR Passes
Timothy Birdnow
The CR that was passed by the House on Friday was trimmed down 1,359 pages after a revolt by Conservatives against House Squeeker Mike Johnson. The bill went from 1,547 pages to just 118, despite "Tiny" Johnson's protestations.
The revised bill passed 256 to 34.
Now how hard was that Johnson? Turns out you didn't need all that pork in the bill to get it through. And the Democrats were probably more frightened of a government shutdown than were Republicans; think on that Mike!
At any rate the thirty four Republicans who voted against this did so primarily because they stood with Trump in wanting the debt ceiling eliminated. I don't know why Trump wants this so badly but it's a bad sign. (Well, actually I do; he's going to have to spend a LOT of money when he first takes office to do what he needs to do - close the borders and evict millions of illegal aliens, for instance.) But it's a mistake on his part to get rid of the debt ceiling in that it is the only thing that constrains Congress at this point (though it rarely stops them) and in two years the Democrats will probably be back in charge of the House and possibly the Senate. Unless the Republicans take bold action now and move Trump's agenda (and I doubt they will with Johnson at the helm and I suspect the Democrats will see to it he's re-elected as Speaker) they will follow the normal trend and lose seats - in a House where they hold just a five seat majority.
So eliminating the debt ceiling may be good for now but terrible for later. I don't know why Trump doesn't see that.
Not having read this bill I cannot comment on it, but it IS a bit disturbing the Democrats are not all that unhappy with it. I wonder if something isn't lurking inside of it.
But at least we eliminated much of the pork and Johnson showed his hand yet again. We cannot move forward with a guy like that at the helm.
Johnson spoke of a "sea change" coming; when will that start Mike? The election is over so there was no political fallout to take even if the government shut down, so why wait until the next Congress? His reasoning is faulty to the point where I do not believe what he is saying; he knows he's full of guano.
If you can't take a risk when there is little risk why would you take a risk when the stakes are higher?
The GOP is still a corrupt and feckless institution.

DOE Backs Down
Timothy Birdnow
More winning!
Department of Education Withdraws Rule on Transgender Athletes in School Sports
The rule would have forced schools to accept athletes who feel like the sex of their choice to play in that category. Many districts were putting rules in place to keep the sexes segregated in sports and the DOE wanted to ban such rules.
Why now? Because the Department of Education is facing it's demise under the Trump Presidency. They're scared.
Good; they should be!

No Country for Old Men (Or Women)
Timothy Birdnow
Here is a disturbing little story about our government. It seems a Republican House member, one Kay Granger from the great state of Texas, has been awol since July. Nobody even noticed she was gone, it seems, but eventually a local news source started digging and it turns out Granger is in a nursing home for those suffering dementia, being placed there after she was found wandering the streets incoherent.
So for five months we've been without one Republican vote when the House is on a razor thin margin.
Doesn't the fact that nobody seemed to notice her absence suggest our lawmaking body is top-heavy? I mean, if we don't even notice some old gal has disappeared, was she really necessary at all?
There needs to be a law passed that requires House and Senate members to vote. If they miss, say, three votes in a row without a valid excuse they should be suspended and perhaps - at least with the House - a special election held.
This shows our government is sclerotic and not at all concerned with actually doing what they were sent to D.C. to do.
Fortunately Granger did not seek re-election. She is being replaced by Republican Craig Goldman for the Ft. Worth area district.

Syphillis - America's Curse on Europe
Timothy Birdnow
It's now confirmed by genetic testing; syphillis is an American export to Europe and not something Columbus gave to the Native Americans.
FTA:
"When a mysterious flesh-rotting disease broke out in Europe in 1495, two years after Christopher Columbus returned from the Americas, suspicion fell on his crew.
Syphilis was soon rampant across the Continent and beyond, but its origins continued to be fiercely debated, with some historians claiming it was actually home-grown.
Now, scientists have carried out genetic testing on the bones of infected people from Chile, Peru, Mexico and Argentina, who lived between the 13th and 15th centuries and died before Columbus arrived.
They found that ancestral forms of syphilis were present in the New World before it was discovered by Europeans, suggesting the bacterium did indeed hitch a lift back with the explorers.
"The data clearly support a root in the Americas for syphilis and its known relatives, and their introduction to Europe starting in the late 15th century is most consistent with the data,” said Kirsten Bos, group leader for molecular paleopathology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig.
"While indigenous American groups harboured early forms of these diseases, Europeans were instrumental in spreading them around the world.”

This has long been suspected by scientists who noted it's similarity to other diseases known in central and south America. But it's been an article of faith that the Europeans introduced it to the Indians because, well, we all know everything they did was evil and so they had to despoil paradise with their filthy lecher's disease.
In it's day syphillis was as dreaded and terrible as AIDS was in the '80's and '90's. There was no cure for it, although on rare occasions people went into permanent remission. But it gets into the nervous system and many of those in remission went insane from it.
Penicillin changed all that because it's a bacteria and is now easily treated (easily enough, anyway).
Now,it is true the Natives suffered from the arrival of Europeans as they were more susceptible to the European diseases. That makes perfect sense in that the Europeans were always coming into contact with other peoples, some from quite far away (like China or subsaharan Africa) and so their immune systems were better at dealing with novel infections. Also, the lack of cross-cultural trade in the Americas (for instance the Aztecs didn't even know of the Incans and vice-versa)which stemmed largely from a lack of proper pack animals and the Indians not inventing the wheel or any sort of ship capable of moving large numbers of people or cargo made the Americas isolated and as a result open to the new infections coming from the old world.
At any rate efforts to research the diseases transmitted to Europe have always failed primarily due to lack of interest by Academia and fear of a backlash by the Left, which has built it's whole worldview on the evils of Western culture.
Tehy are wrong as this shows.
It's now confirmed by genetic testing; syphillis is an American export to Europe and not something Columbus gave to the Native Americans.
FTA:
"When a mysterious flesh-rotting disease broke out in Europe in 1495, two years after Christopher Columbus returned from the Americas, suspicion fell on his crew.
Syphilis was soon rampant across the Continent and beyond, but its origins continued to be fiercely debated, with some historians claiming it was actually home-grown.
Now, scientists have carried out genetic testing on the bones of infected people from Chile, Peru, Mexico and Argentina, who lived between the 13th and 15th centuries and died before Columbus arrived.
They found that ancestral forms of syphilis were present in the New World before it was discovered by Europeans, suggesting the bacterium did indeed hitch a lift back with the explorers.
"The data clearly support a root in the Americas for syphilis and its known relatives, and their introduction to Europe starting in the late 15th century is most consistent with the data,” said Kirsten Bos, group leader for molecular paleopathology at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig.
"While indigenous American groups harboured early forms of these diseases, Europeans were instrumental in spreading them around the world.”
