A federal judge has blockeda Trump order to require proof of citizenship to vote.

Once again an activist in unfashionable evening wear has stuck her nose where it does not belong and has written law for the whole country.

This judge - and the states attorneys general who brought the suit - have shown exactly who they are and what they believe. It isn't about "one man, one vote" or have anything to do with "democracy". Not checking a person's qualifications to vote is vote theft and this is nothing but a massive power grab.

We all know it.

More and more the Left has to show it's cards to the American People. In bygone days they would have done this but we would have heard little to nothing about it, and what we heard would havebeen sanitized. Now they have to be quite open about what they are doing. America elected Trump to clean up the illegal alien mess Joe Biden made and everyone will see they are thwarting the will of the People and undermining our rights as Americans.

Trumps e.o. said states would have to check immigration status when new voters register, and that failing to do so would lead to cuts in federal funding.

The AGs argued "usurps the States’ constitutional power and seeks to amend election law by fiat.”

It in no way usurps anything. There is no constitutional requirement for the Federal government to give out money to states for any reason. If this matters so much to these states they would eat the cost themselves.

The article states:

The Israeli raid began with taking out the leadership of Iran's nuclear program. CGRI General Salami, Chief of Staff Mohammad Bagheri and senior nuclear scientist Fereydoon Abbasi were all targeted. While the other two may have been full of balogna, Gen. Salami was particularly pickled. He received the coldest cut of all.

Now Israel is targeting the actual facilities that produce and store and enrich the uranium. This is much tricker than taking out three Shiite hams.

Let us pray Israel is able to finish the job.

Iran has retaliated by sending hundreds of drones in a rather lame attempt to hurt Israeli military capabilities.

I  hear they were attacking the tribe of Ruben...

Trump has just killed Gavin Newsuiance's EV mandate by signing H.J. Res. 88, a bill which federalized emissions standards. Now California has to obey then rather than impose their own.

California had plannned a total ban on gas-powered vehicles, something that would have decimated the American auto industry. Other deep blue states were going to follow suit if CA got away with this.

Israel Hits Heart of Iran's Nuclear Program; Natanz Facility Strike

I doubt Israel took it all out. How much enriched uranium did they save? If enough for a bomb then there is a real likelihood Tel Aviv may disappear. Or New York.

UFO's are a big fake - a black op by our government, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal.

Pentagon Disinformation Fueled Ameria's UFO Mythology, WSJ Reports

I've argued this all along.

It might have made sense in the old days when people still thought Venus and maybe Mars might be habitable and perhaps inhabited. But not now. Sadly, most people don't grasp the sheer enormity of interstellar distances.

If the sun were the size of a basketball and so too was Alpha Centauri, our nearest neighbor, then using that scale we would have to place the two basketballs 463,151 miles apart. THAT is how big deep space stretches.

You wouldn't take an interstellar trip without a damned good reason.

It might be possible an unmanned probe could come here, but even that would take immense resources that would tie up too much capital. Better to wait and listen; if you start picking up radio waves from another solar system where there were none before then that becomes your target.

But it works both ways; if aliens can hear us we should be able to hear THEM. Even if they now have superior communications one would think they would still be using radio as well; technology rarely disappears completely in such a fashion. The need for more power and more communications will always be there and the old radio bands might become just a housekeeping system but they would probably still be used. After all we still use a.m. radio.

But we don't hear anything. This bothered Enrico Fermi to no end (it's called the Fermi Paradox "where are they?" he asked.)

Given how everywhere in the world we can find something left behind by Man so too we should find SOMETHING from the aliens.

But,but,but...wouldn't they find us first?

Not necessarily; we have had radio since 1893, when Marconi first demonstrated his invention here in my hometown of St.Louis. And for the first thirty years there was very, very little of it.

Now the Earth lights up like a red dwarf star in the radio band, and it would be visible, but the radio waves only move at the speed of light and if the aliens are, say, a hundred light years away they would only really realize we were here just about now. They would have to build ships, and organize an expedition. If we assume slower than light travel at best it will take them probably at least a hundred and fifty years to get here. There is no way they showed up in the '50's.

But what of faster than light travel, you ask?

First, there is no theoretical ftl drive. We have some fanciful concepts - warp drive (which bends space-time, allowing us to cut off asizable chunk of travel) which would require a force pretty much equal to a black hole to bend space (we can't even do it theoretically), hyperdrive, which goes into another universe where the speed of light is infinite, or nearly so, then return to our own universe),ther are a few other fictitious ideas. But no solid science.

And we cannot get to the speed of light; it is absolutely impossible for anything with mass. Einstean showed that; E=mcsquared means m=c squared/e which means mass increases as you get closer to the speed of light and thus it takes more energy. To reach lightspeed you must have an infinite amount of energy because you now have infinite mass. Infinite is impossible in our known universe.

That's not to say you can't get fairly close to lightspeed. And when you do time speeds up for you so a hundred year trip might seem to take fifteen or twenty. BUT you also have stuff coming at you ridiculously fast. Simple charged particles will come at you as gamma rays. Dust will hit your ship with the force of atomic bombs. You would have to have "deflectors" as Star Trek called them, but those deflectors would require incredible amounts of energy. Perhaps a magnetic field would help with some of them but too much would still slip through, And it wouldn't help with the dust; for that we would have to have a force field that works differently than a magnet. We know of no such thing.

There are a number of slower than light spacecraft drives people have kicked around over the years. One would be a solar sail, which would use the pressure of light against a giant, gossamer mirror. IN THEORY you could get to Alpha Centauri in maybe a hundred years or so, but if there is a lot of debris in interstellar space you won't have much of a sail left. Oh, and you would have to have an enormous laser cannon beaming at your ship for a hundred years to make this work.

There is the Buzzard Ramjet which theoretically scoops up interstellar hydrogen and pinches it until it undergoes fusion. That assumes interstellar hydrogen is ionized (it doesn't appear to be) and that a magnetic field wouldn't drag on the galactic magnetic field (it would) and that single protons can undergo fusion. Nice idea but fat chance. Still, such a drive would be wonderful; you could actually get to stars in years and not centuries, at least as far as the travellers are concerned.

Maybe aliens have found some drastic new drives, based on science of which we can only dream, but it also means they are putting out almost no radio waves. And even if all of that is so why come to Earth? Our solar system is nothing special; there are a great many stars similar to our own. Alpha centauri A, for instance, is almost identical to ours. Tau Ceti too. They wouldn't just go to EVERY star and then just observe on the unlikely chance we might develop into beings capable of dealing with them.

So the flying saucers are and were nothing but ways to hide experimental aircraft and other things. A con,a fake.

No doubt they saw how it worked for Orson Wells when he panicked a bunch of people over his Halloween special about a Martian invasion.

People are all looking for something to believe in and in our modern era we are too cool to believe in God. Materialists want aliens because ultimately they want to believe in something but are too arrogant to admit God may be real.

So we've had decades of aliens but no proof. It's been a gaslight all along.

I've been saying this for years.

I remember when I was a child and my family took long driving vacations. We never booked reservations in hotels or whatnot; we just drove until it was getting late and then stopped at any motel we found. It was not unheard-of for us to sleep in the car because we waited too long "NO VACANCY"! When a motel was full it simply lit a sign and that was that. You were out of luck.

Yet America, the third most populous country on Earth, has virtually unlimited immigration, letting people from third world sh%#holes come her to steal our social services and our jobs and wreck our communities. It's insane on the face of it. We should long since have lit the "no vacancy" sign.

So now there is a national movement to do just that. (Of course I won't get any credit for helping to foment it.) The question is, is this too little too late?

At between 45 and 60 MILLION immigrants, legal and illegal, we have more immigrants than the population of Canada, and about double that of Australia. How do you maintain a nation with that many people who don't know our culture, and are mostly here to skim the cream off our economy?

Time to shut her down!

P.S.   Our old friend Selwyn Duke has long labored in this  cause too. He deserves to be given an attaboy!

Gen. Mike Flynn issues a very serious, dark warning.

Gen. Flynn: The Deep State Is Boxing Trump in, Pushing US Toward 'Final Military Conflict'

Bear in mind ever since the First World War and perhaps even the Spanish American war the deep state has grown as a result of military conflict. Not just the Deep State but the whole internationalist project. wWI saw Wilson's League of Nations, for instance, but it was too soon. So another war was waged,a bigger, worse war, and the United Nations was the result. The Cold War gave us a united Europe and themetasasization of the bureaucratic and surveillance state. They need another big war to consolidate power.

Read your Orwell; they were in a constant state of war and the alliances were ever-shifting. Orwell saw that in 1948.

The big one now, especially one with a limited nuclear exchange, would solve a lot of the Progressive Project's problems. The war would destroy the alternate power blocks not in the New World Order (like Russia, or even China) and at the same time the destruction would terrify people to a point they would accept almost anything to end the conflict.The economy would be in ruins so they could impose socialistic economics on every nation on Earth and people would accept it because many would be starving. People could be rounded up into cities, camps designed to control them but promoted as "safe places". International institutions would become the sole project of every government on Earth.

They see it as "creative destruction"; you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs.

Now Trump is atavistic, a throwback to the old nationalism and nation-states. Like Neanderthal man, he has no place in the future of which they dream. So he and, more importanly, the belief system he represents, must be destroyed, physically if necessary but certainly philosophically.

And in the process of all this creative destruction the "superstitions" of Christianity and Judaism need to go - and we know from WWI that a whole generation of atheists were born out of the fires of that conflict, at least in Europe. Witnessing incredible suffering and destruction makes people reject God. It's not surprise the post-WWII Europe saw a great apostacy after.

So I have little doubt Mr. Flynn is correct about this.

(BTW, the CIA was established one year prior to Orwell's book coming out; it was as if they used him as a template.)

The General states:

I give you Article 33 of the Mexican Constitution of 1917:

Foreigners are those who do not possess the qualifications set forth in Article 30. They are entitled to the guarantees granted by Chapter I, Title I, of the present Constitution; but the Federal Executive shall have the exclusive power to compel any foreigner whose remaining he may deem inexpedient to abandon the national territory immediately and without the necessity of previous legal action.

Foreigners may not in any way participate in the political affairs of the country.

fin

And yet Mexican Presidente' Claudia Sheinbaum has promoted protests inside of the United States by illegal aliens and apparently fails to see the hypocrisy.

So her own constitution allows her to kick people out of Mexico without a hearing at any time when they are involved in meddling with internal affairs and yet she demands WE allow it.

By the by Mexico does not allow foreigners to own land. You can lease it for up to 99 years but you cannot own it. Mexico seems to hold entirely different standards for the U.S. than it does for itself.

I would like to mention the German Kaiser and WWI now. The Kaiser was an idiot; he feared the U.S. jumping into the war and he took steps to guarantee we did. Among them was negotiating with Mexico, promising to return all of the Southwest to them if they would invade the U.S. He also tried to set up guerilla warfare in the U.S. by Mexicans. This naturally infuriated everyone in the U.S. and, despite Woodrow Wilson winning the Presidency as "the amn who kept us out of war" the public wound up supporting the fight against Germany. Apparently Scheinbaum has forgotten that tidbit from history.

She has also forgotten the lesson of Poncho Villa, the Mexican guerilla. The U.S.sent none other than John Pershing after him into Mexico, and his aid was George Patton. That was the second invasion of Mexico bythe U.s. and both were equally successful.

I would also point out that Scheinbaum just warned us against violating it's territory after Trump suggested sending military troops into northern Mexico to crush the cartels. She was VERY adamant about the sacredness of HER border but then demands we allow ours to be pierced by her own people.

A number of Mexican groups - notably MEChA and La Raza (The Race) but others, have long spoke of taking the southwest from America (along with Texas) by invading and breeding and then when all the Gringos are gone just seceding and either establishing a new nation (Aztlan) or joinging Mexico. I have little doubt Sheinbaum is doing likewise here. I suspect this has long been the plan in Mexico itself and that is why she is so exercised now. She thought that she was going to be the one who would preside over the "reconquista". Now it's slipping away and she's quite wroth over the matter.

Well, I think we should reverse things and annex Baja California. It's beautiful and wholly undeveloped and would be the new Florida if we played our cards right. Mexico has little use for it.

At any rate Trump needs to punish Mexico for this. It is, in fact, an act of war if it can be shown Mexico offered any material support for these riots. I suspect we could find that if we looked.

Sheinbaum knows the Trump tariffs and economic policy are going to strangle her economy; this is just another way to try to strike at us. But you don't try to bite a cobra, not if you have any sense.

We are on the brink of war with Iran.

Israel Reportedly Ready to Launch while Iran Promises Strikes on U.S.Bases

FTA:

Top U.S. officials have been told that Israel is prepared to launch an operation against Iran, reports said, which officials believe will lead to Iranian retaliation against American targets in Iraq.

The move is said to be behind a State Department move Wednesday to order nonessential employees at the American Embassy in Baghdad to leave, according to The Associated Press.

The move was part of an effort "to keeping Americans safe, both at home and abroad,” according to the State Department. As the AP noted, the embassy in Baghdad "already had been on limited staffing, and the order will not affect a large number of personnel.”

U.S. Central Command said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth "has authorized the voluntary departure of military dependents from locations” in the region and that CENTCOM "is monitoring the developing tension in the Middle East.”

CBS Newswas the first to report that American officials are anticipating an attack by Israel in Iran, although it didn’t provide specifics.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 2nd Circuit will hear President Trump's appeal over his convicttion in the "hush money" Stormy Daniels case.

All three judges on the 2nd Circuit were appointed by Joe Biden.

Of course there never was a crime, except by Daniels who successfully shook down Mr. Trump. Non-disclosure agreements are legal and most very rich and powerful people use them all the time. To call this "election tampering" is a farce; the tampering was Daniels herself and the accusations made on her behalf.

Trump was accused of "fixing" the election by paying off Daniels and then "manipulating" documents to hide the fact. But who handled it all? Trump's then-attorney Michael Cohen. And as these are perfectly legal contracts there was no reason to "hide" them, hence any irregularities with the paperwork can be chalked up to carelessness.

To make this charge Prosecutor Alvin (General Aldo)Bragg had to turn a federal misdemeanor which had already been investigated and dismissed by the Federal Election commission into a New York State felony. It was quite a tortured legal reasoning that allowed Gen. Aldo to create a whole new legal theory, a novel theory, and get a bunch of Trump-hating New York scumbag on the jury. This never should have been brought even before a Grand Jury.

But Trump will lose this appeal and have to appeal THAT decision.

At any rate it's good to see the ball moving. I want Trump to finish his term without any legal baggage hanging over his head; he deserves as much.

Is Mexico behind the L.A. riots? This author from The Federalist certainly thinks so.

Is this Mexico waging a proxy war here? Could be; Mexican Presidente' Claudia Sheinbaum has made threats of major retaliation for Trump's deportations and his tariffs. How does Mexico retaliate? This would be a quite effective method.

But of course it's also an act of war.
