E-Mails of the American Color Revolution
Timothy Birdnow
Here they are all the names of the Deep Staters and the damning e-mails confirming there was indeed a conspiracy to overthrow the rule of law and the legitimate government of the United States. The '20 election was indeed a CIA-run Color Revolution.
The signators of the Hunter Biden laptop letter claiming it was "Russian disinformation" all knew it was a lie but agreed to help to keep Trump out of office.
The CIA overthrew the U.S. government. the one elected by the People, and then the illegal DOJ went after anyone who dared protest or complain much like Maduro did in Venezuela. Is it any wonder the Democrats are hopping mad at Maduro's arrest? They figure it could be Barack Obama next - or any one of them.

Walz, Ellison Referred for Charges
Timothy Birdnow
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is sending a criminal referrral to the Justice Department for both Minnesota Governor Tim "the boy tampon" Walz and Keith "Keel all the infidels" Ellison, saying there is enough evidence to indict both men for the daycare fraud scandal in the North Star state. (Apparently it's a red star state now.)
Granted a referral is just that and has no legal weight, but it is a strong suggestion for the DOJ to follow through with a major investigation and potential grand jury empanelment.
This scandal isn't going away. And now California is being investigated for a similar scandal.
For years, nay, decades the GOP feared exposing such thigs lest their own people get caught and also to avoid a knock-down-drag-out fight with the Democrats and the Media. But Trump is a different breed of cat and now what was hidden is being exposed, as the Bible suggests all things hidden eventually will be.

No Dark Energy?
Timothy Birdnow
If true this would eliminate the need for Dark Energy, and that would mean that it would eliminate the need for Dark Matter as well. Neither have ever been discovered but both have been used to explain why the current models of cosmic acceleration do not work. Dark Energy was devised to explain the expansion while Dark Matter was a balancer to explain why the Universe isn't expanding even faster.
When the Michaelson-Morley experiment failed to show any changes in speed for a beam of light going in opposite directions (in fact it was stranger than that - two beams going in vastly different directions were merge at exactly the same time) Albert Einstein proposed just trashing the theory of an aether, which was a massless, invisible substance through which light propagated, according to 19th century physics. Einstein argued that there never was any proof of an aether, and we should work on the assumption it does not exist until there IS proof of it. In the process Einstein explained the results of the MM experiment, in the process making the universe a much more complicated and wonderous place.
MM were trying to see which direction the Earth was moving relative to the aether, and they split a single beam of light, then reflected it off mirrors in opposite directions to see which arrived first at a detector. They always arrived at the same time, no matter what. Einstein's explanation of what was happening revolutionized physics.
I've always argued that Dark Matter and Dark Energy are much like the concept of the aether; they seem to make established science work but there has never been any real proof of either. They are both there to simply balance the books so the standard models don't break down.
At any rate, here is the summary of the new theory. Whether it's correct or not is anybody's guess, but at least we have people challenging the ossified "consensus":
Universität BremenSummary:The accelerating expansion of the universe is usually explained by an invisible force known as dark energy. But a new study suggests this mysterious ingredient may not be necessary after all. Using an extended version of Einstein’s gravity, researchers found that cosmic acceleration can arise naturally from a more general geometry of spacetime. The result hints at a radical new way to understand why the universe keeps speeding up.
Einstein's theory of gravity argued that gravity is not a force in the traditional sense but rather a change in the geometric shape of the universe. It is often referred to as the rubber sheet. Drop a bowling ball on a rubber sheet and it stretched and indents. Now try rolling a marble past the bowling ball; it will curve it's path, and perhaps even start revolving around the ball. Einstein was proven right on this too because it explains the divergence of the planet Mercury when it passed near the Sun and the same holds true for other bodies and stars as they get close to the Sun; the Sun's gravity bends the light as it passes close in what is known as gravity lensing.
Anyway Dark Matter and Dark Energy seem to me to be rather Medieval; they are complications added to our understanding of the Universe based not on any sort of real data or observation but merely to make what we believe to be true work. Instead of challenging our assumptions science has created a cheat. Cheats usually don't really tell us anything.
At any rate most scientists still think gravity is a force and is thus driven by an exchange particle which they nave named a graviton. There is no proof of gravitons, I might add, no matter how much they use them in Star Trek. But scientists believe there has to be a reason WHY mass bends spacetime and thus a graviton or something similar seems necessary to them. Einstein just dismissed such things as unprovable and preferred to just work with what he had.
From the article:
Because of this limitation, the team at ZARM and their Romanian collaborators explored an alternative idea. Their results, published in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, rely on an extension of general relativity (GR) known as Finsler gravity. This approach has been developeded over recent years and uses a broader description of spacetime geometry.
Unlike the standard formulation of GRT, Finsler gravity can describe the gravitational behavior of gases more precisely. This difference turns out to be crucial when modeling the large-scale behavior of the universe.
Accelerated Expansion Without Dark Energy
When the researchers applied Finsler gravity to the Friedmann equations, they uncovered a striking result. The modified equations, known as the Finsler-Friedmann equations, naturally predict an accelerating universe even in empty space. No extra assumptions are required, and no additional "dark energy" term needs to be added by hand.
"This is an exciting indication that we may be able to explain the accelerated expansion of the universe, at least in parts, without dark energy, on the basis of a generalized spacetime geometry," says Christian Pfeifer, ZARM physicist and member of the research team. "This new geometric point of view on the dark energy problem opens up new possibilities for better understanding the laws of nature in the cosmos."
Without Dark Energy the need to balance it with Dark Matter (which is assumed to be keeping the Universe from expanding much faster than it is) certainly subsides, if not downright disappears.
At any rate this will take us no closer to artificial gravity than the original Einsteinian equations, but it may help restore our understanding of the universe, and that is a big thing. I fear physics has gotten lost in it's own navel for some time now.

Casey Anthony Supports ICE Attacker
Timothy Birdnow
The kooks are out in force over this Good shooting. Now no less a personage than Casey Anthony, the woman who probably murdered her child and thought to make herself a big celebrity based on it, has come out condemning J.D. Vance for stating the ICE agent who shot Good was within his legal right.
So now we have a complete joke of a woman, one who at best cared little about the death of her child, jumping into the fray on the side of the leftists. These are the people who promote this stupidity.
America is becoming a joke. Sadly the joke is on us.

Capitol Cop Calls for Murder of ICE Agents
Timothy Birdnow
Michael Fanooch, er, Fanone, the obnoxious Capitol Cop who found fame by acting as a star witness in the J6 Star Chamber Committee, has shown his true colors. He's calling for anti-Ice protesters to shoot federal agents when they show up to do their jobs, the jobs Americans asked them to do.
From X:
Andrew Kolvet@AndrewKolvetMichael Fanone, the Democrats' insufferable foul-mouthed J6 mascot, says citizens need to start shooting ICE agents.
"It’s time for the American people to organize and to utilize their Second Amendment right to protect themselves from what is clearly becoming unaccountable and lawless agency that’s killing Americans.”
Fanone is trying to incite the murder of federal law enforcement for doing their jobs.
Arrest this man.
Arrest him indeed. Or perhaps we should take his advice only redirect it. Somehow I think he'd change his mind if the threat was being made against HIM and his peeps and not ICE. This man was supposedly a law enforcement officer; he knows better than to incite violence in this fashion.
But this jackass cares more for illegal aliens, CRIMINAL illegal aliens, then for his own countrymen. He's a disgrace.

Another Judge Blocks Trump
Timothy Birdnow
Another day, another Left wing judge blocks Trump. In this case the judge is stopping Mr. Trump from protecting taxpayer dollars from the corruption in the Democrat states like Minnesota.
Yes, this judge ordered Trump's effort to stop funding to five deep blue states to be stopped; he wants the Feds to keep sending money to places where fraud is rampant.
It really is an Alice In Wonderland world these days. The most commonsensical measures trigger these judges because they are now showing they aren't judges at all but partisans in black robes.

The Maduro Connection
Timothy Birdnow
Maduro, the Marxist dictator of Venezuela who was recently plucked out of his own country to face narco charges in the U.S., was working closely with Black Lives Matter and the people who brought us Zohran Momdani, according to this article in Western Journalism.
The article states:
Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and his socialist regime spent years coordinating with American leftist movements such as Black Lives Matter before the U.S. removed him from power.
BLM activists, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America, and other groups met with Maduro, spoke at events alongside him, or became official observers for Venezuela’s heavily criticized elections for more than a decade, according to the groups’ public statements and online posts documenting the meetings.
Some of the same organizations called for protests in the U.S. against the Trump administration’s Jan. 3 arrest of Maduro and his wife on drug and weapons charges.
The Venezuelan regime won influence with activists to its own benefit long ago, in part through a 2006 speech by former President Hugo Chavez that called for Americans to form an organized front against their own country’s interests, according to Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation.
"They played a key role in setting up the U.S. Social Forum from the World Social Forum which was the network of networks for the Left,” Gonzalez, a former foreign affairs journalist and State Department official, told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
He credits Chavez’s speech with sparking the 2007 inaugural meeting of the World Social Forum’s U.S. branch in Atlanta, Georgia.
"We must save the world, the people can save this world, but essential to this formula to save the world are the people of the U.S., the conscience of the U.S. people, the resurrection of the U.S. people… All of us must unite; join together in a victorious offensive against the empire,” Chavez said.
BLM co-founders Alicia Garza and Opal Tometi have both attended World Social Forum events, while a left-wing think tank that employed BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors was part of the U.S. Social Forum’s inaugural planning committee.
Gonzalez also alleged in an October report that Chavez once paid Tometi to foment political revolution in the U.S., citing an anonymous former Venezuelan government official who defected to the U.S.
I suspect it went to more than just inspiration; I suspect Chavez and Maduro gave them money and aided in planning as well.
Getting rid of the Communists in Venezuela is, or should have been, a top priority and pushing Maduro out is but a first step; now the opposition has to overthrow the dictators in power. They are the rightful government anyway as they clearly won the last election but had it stolen by the Communists.
The dominoes are falling and need to continue to fall. Cuba and Nicaragua come next.
These three countries have been the source of infection for the U.S. for a generation now and never should have been ignored and allowed to run wild like they have. It's no wonder it appeared the U.S. was about to turn Marxist; we let foreign powers meddle with our own system, including elections, for a long time while the CIA was promoting "Russian collusion" hoaxes to bring down the guy who would actually stop foreign meddling.
It's a huge rat's nest of big money interests (like the World Economic Forum and George Soros' networks) and foreign actors propped up by America's enemies and so much of the bloodshed and chaos on the streets in the U.S. goes back to these bad actors. I think Mr. Trump knows what he is doing.
Trump is taking action with very limited military entanglement - exactly the way to handle most of this. The resistance in these countries is already there, it's just a matter of nurturing them a bit. Reagan did that in the eighties and he is credited with the fall of Communism, although all he did was destroy the Soviet Union; Communism remained and in fact grew in places like universities and in countries like Venezuela. And of course there was an is China, and how much they have their hand in this is anybody's guess. My guess is quite a bit.
We made the mistake of assuming Communism was dead when Soviet Communism died. It just went elsewhere.
The fight against Communism is a generational struggle and will not end so easily. Too many Americans just did not and do not now understand that fact.
Hell; FASCISM is still alive and well, although it looks a bit different than under Mussolini and Hitler. Ideas don't go away; they have to be beaten by better ideas, and marginalized until people stop them. For example, there is currently an attempt to revive Zeus worship in Greece, after all these millenia...
Communism is a revival of the old Emperor worship in the late Roman Empire, and of course that never went away in places like China. They worshipped the Pharoah in Egypt too but that is gone now. Communism is just a way to put a scientific, enlightenment face on a very old system. And we let it return because we didn't take it seriously enough. Communism should be long in it's grave; it never did a thing for anyone but murder and torture them.
At any rate I think Trump is on the right course with this. The isolationists (like Rand Paul) will moan and groan about how we shouldn't involve ourselves in anything, but that is as foolish as the endless war interventionism of the neocons. Both are solutions to the day's problems that accomplish little. One need not have a feast or a famine - a sensible meal suffices.

Ellison Under the Microscope
Timothy Birdnow
I warned everyone when Keith Ellison was first elected to be Minnesota AG; as a Muslim who swore his oath of office on the Koran he was not bound in any way by that oath to "kaffirs".
And so he isn't.
From the article:
Fox News correspondent Alexis McAdams reported that sources say federal authorities have shifted their focus to Ellison after Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz announced he would not seek reelection.
"Investigation into these fraud allegations is far from over, but sources are telling Fox again this morning that now that Governor Tim Walz says he’s not going to run for re election, the feds are also shifting their focus to the State’s Attorney General Keith Ellison,” McAdams said.
McAdams explained that Fox News obtained an audio clip recorded in 2021 showing Ellison meeting with a group later arrested in one of Minnesota’s largest fraud cases.
"Why? Because a newly obtained clip by Fox that we just got yesterday, that was from 2021 has Ellison meeting in this recording with a group of people who are asking for his help,” she said.
"The problem is, those people, you guys, were then, just days later, arrested for one of the biggest fraud scandals in the state.”
In the audio recording, an unidentified individual is heard discussing political support in exchange for protection of their interests.
"The only way we can protect what we have is by inserting ourselves into the political arena, putting our votes where it needs to be, but most importantly, putting our dollars in the right place and supporting candidates that will fight to protect our interests,” the unidentified person said.
Ellison responded on the recording, "That’s right.”
The unidentified individual continued, "You can only protect our interests when we have your back and you don’t have to worry about who’s behind you.”
Which is why Tampon Tim has been so adamant that the investigation be run by Minnesota and not by the Feds, who took the step of cutting out state officials. The DOJ was wise to do that.
I suspect you will find Mr. Ellison's hand is in the cookie dough, along with Walz and the rest.

Hawley Knifes Us in the Back
Timothy Birdnow
Not Josh Hawley!
While I have loved most of what Hawley has done as a Senator I was less than thrilled when he was our candidate, and for good reason; I followed his career in Missouri and saw a tendency in him to do this sort of thing, to pull a John McCain every now and then and "reach out" to Democrats at the expense of his own party and the voters.
Susan Collins, Rand Paul (who else), Todd Young of Indiana joined Hawley and the Democrats.
News flash Josh; if you are voting with Democrats you are almost certainly on the wrong side of an issue. You should know that by now. There is nothing they do for the American People nor for your party.
I remember when Missouri Governor Eric "Fifty Shades of Gray" Greitens was charged by a partisan hack DA in St. Louis (who has seen been removed from office, went on the lam to avoid being forced to testify, and wound up being convicted of crimes) Hawley, who could have stopped the witch hunt at any time, not only didn't do anything (he was Missouri AG at the time) but he didn't even say anything, despite the fact the whole prosecution was a farce and any idiot could tell that. He let Kim Gardner force Greitens from office. IF he thought it was good Greitens be forced from office (he was formerly a Democrat) fine but the GOP should have been the ones to do it and on legitimate grounds. He let them pull this and win because party insiders in Missouri hated Greitens, who was pushing for lobbying reforms that was going to take a lot of bread from their greedy porcine mouths.
I've never fully trusted Hawley since. This only confirms my reasons to suspect he will fail us when the crunch comes.
Shame on him. Shame on Collins. Rand Paul at least was being true to his beliefs - he's a libertarian in everything except party affiliation. I don't know much about Young but he's probably deserving of shame too.
Donald Trump is taking necessary and proper actions at a critical time and it is just this sort of stupidity that has in times past led to our being stuck with so many terrible regimes trying to undermine us and freedom in the world. Ronald Reagan would be doing exactly what Trump is doing now. Anyone remember the Sandanistas? Reagan knew they were the lynchpin for revolution throughout Central America, at a time when it really mattered. He was unwilling to be hamstrung by Congress and he did something about it. (Granted, Obama/Biden let Daniel Ortega and the Sandanistas come back, and it was the same reasoning applied by these two dimwitted el presidente's as being applied by Hawley and his ass, er, associates here.)
In my mind this should disqualify Hawley from any consideration for leadership positions in the future. If you can't be a team player when the other team is the Democrats you don't deserve to run a lemonade stand.

More on the Minnesota Mayhem
Timothy Birdnow
Who is behind groups resisting immigration enforcement in Minneapolis? Here are a few.
From the New York Post:
Indivisible is an offshoot of the Indivisible Project in Washington, DC, which bills itself as a movement to defeat the "Trump agenda,” and received $7,850,000 from Soros’ Open Society Foundations between 2018 and 2023, according to public records.
The controversial group was also behind recent pro-Venezuela protests and "No Kings” demonstrations against the Trump administration throughout the country last year.
In addition to Indivisible Twin Cities — which does not identify its leaders on the website - other protest leaders include the Council on American-Islamic Relations, an anti-Israel group whose Minnesota chapter’s executive director Jaylani Hussein has rallied against ICE at protests.
The article goes on to identify specific people involved, and they are a bunch of radical cut-throats. I will leave it to you to read the whole article.
But suffice it to say this is a who's who of the same radical left that has been stirring up mayhem in the U.S. for some time.
In other news on the matter Ilhan "I married my brother" Omar tried to carve out an sweetheart deal for Somalis from the pending spending legislation deal. I suspect Omar has been at the crux of the massive daycare fraud in Minnesota and the chutzpah to try to pull this is truly breathtaking; she should be keeping a low profile right now.
That woman needs to be deported. I hope the DOJ strips her citizenship.

Still Just Thugs
Timothy Birdnow
Here is an interesting if windy explanation of the "NPR Voice" and why it matters.
The author spills considerable digital ink addressing the Enlightenment and the way Liberals think, and he's not wrong, but it boils down to just one simple proposition.
They are just pompous buffoons trying to pretend they are divine-like voices of pure reason.
FTA:
The thread connecting all of these Enlightenment movements is the effort to discredit patrimonial authority — grounded upon religion, relational affinity, and fealty to tradition — as arbitrary and autocratic. The various Enlightenment movements aimed to displace the personal, autocratic modes of authority that had grounded the fading Late Medieval order and install in their place a regime of impersonal, rationally grounded authority structures that would legitimize the ascendant powers of capital and "scientific” state management.
Strange to say, this fact lies at the heart of the liberal’s affinity for NPR voice. The breezing monotone functions to obscure personal agency. The monotonous, anodyne drone that characterizes NPR voice serves to convey the illusion that the words the listener hears are "spoken” by a disembodied Spirit of Disinterested Rationality, unleavened by any preference, agenda, perspective, or personality. If "The Science” could speak, it would do so in NPR voice.
In other words they are like gods. Gods do not have to shout or make a fuss; they speak quietly because they can. And this also gives the impression of deep thought and careful consideration, something that is not true but is rooted in human psychology. The person who is loud and aggressive is usually thought to be the less intelligent.
That is why the Left has so much dichotomy; they need shock troops, foot soldiers to be loud and aggressive and even violent while others, such as the stooges at NPR, speak with this quiet intellectualism. They divide in two what most of us do as a unified thing so they can lay claim to both the high ground intellectually/morally and at the same time can attain the benefits of bullying and strong-arming. It's the carrot and the stick.
That's why the Left has power bases in both academia and in Big Labor - the carrot and the stick.
Conservatives do this too to a much lesser degree. We see that today with the division between the old Paleocons, the National Review folks who despise the MAGA people as uncouth hillbillies. The National Review types are the same as the NPR voice whisperers in many ways, and rarely raise their voices or display passion lest someone think them unmannerly. They don't like the people who get down and dirty. But the fact is the Left has always understood the need for both and have divided the labor while the Right seems to struggle with that. But then we are more nearly human in our thinking than are they and we require less division by and large. Oh, and you can divide this way when you have control of the dissemination of information; shut out a group and it has no choice but be loud.
At any rate the NPR voice is largely a stuffed-shirt attempt to take the high ground, pretend to be disinterested. Yes, it probably was born out of the Enlightenment, but then we've had this sort of thing since the Greeks, no doubt, and probably well before.
Anyone remember Tom Daschle? He was the very soft spoken Senate Majority leader back in the Bush days. He always spoke softly and sounded quite gentle, even though he was the most viciously partisan creep in the government at that time and he did awful things all while using the NPR voice. Harry Reid did that too, to a lesser extent.
It's pure hypocrisy but it's not intended to be anything but. It's intended to calm people's fears while you are plunging in the knife.
It's a form a lying, lying by tone of voice. They are not dispassionate but ruthless thugs who hide behind a mild voice to ease people's fears. But in the end they are still just thugs.

In Vain
Timothy Birdnow
So, the woman who was killed by ICE agents in Minnesota was a radical activist who hooked up with a group of RESIST! types through her son's woke school. Oh, and she's a lesbian, did I mention that?
FTA:
Good, who moved to the city last year, linked up with the anti-ICE activists through her 6-year-old son’s woke charter school, which boasts that it puts "social justice first” and prioritizes "involving kids in political and social activism,” multiple local sources said.
[...]
Good and her wife, Rebecca, 40, were raising the boy together in the mostly working-class, activist-heavy neighborhood of south Minneapolis, which features tree-lined streets and a large number of homes with windows decked out in LGBTQ+ flags or signs depicting George Floyd.
I'm sorry but a neighborhood with LGBTQ signs and rainbow flags and homages to George Floyd is not a "working class" neighborhood; it's a gentrified homosexual neighborhood that was formerly working class.
I used to work for a property management company and saw this on many occasions; gay folks moved into formerly working class, often decaying, neighborhoods and made them their own, and they did much to improve the place. That is fine and they would make those areas their own. More power to 'em I sez. But let's not give a false impression. This was not a "working class neighborhood". It was gentrified, or on it's way to being so.
And the school she sent her kid (adopted I assume)? It was clearly a lunatic asylum full of the wokest of woke idiots. There she got involved in ICE Watch, a group dedicated to disrupting raids on illegal invaders.
Good and her sapphic life partner had immigrated to Canada after the election of Donald Trump but true to form returned to make mischief in the U.S. Leftists always threaten to leave, and even when they do they never STAY gone. If they hate America so much why not become Canadian permanently? There is no culture shock after all. But they just won't do that. That's because leftists suffer from a mental disorder and are determined to make the whole world suffer from the same disorder so they won't be alone.
That appears to be what this Good chick had going anyway.
This is, of course, exactly what the Left had hoped for; some idiot foot soldier to push right up to the edge and get shot and then they would have their martyr. All revolutions need martyrs. And they will ride this thing as long as they possibly can. I have little doubt groups like ICE Watch were told by their funders to start getting more aggressive with just this in mind. With mid-terms coming up they need an issue to be able to use to get the public to turn on the Trump Administration and Republicans and a few deaths of a few dim-wits like this Good chick is a small price to pay for political power.
I wonder if her partner will actually learn anything from this. Probably not.
Fortunately Trump isn't the average Republican, who would have scurried for cover by now. I caught J.D. Vance in a presser, defiant and unwilling to be made into the bad guy in this. That is what must happen; the public will hear and believe. In the old days the GOP always looked guilty because they went into CYA mode and actually tried to explain whey they had stopped beating their wives. Hemming and hawing is a sign of guilt, even if the person is innocent - he LOOKS guilty. An innocent man is defiant, and so should the Administration remain. It was GOOD's antisocial attack on an ICE agent that led to her own death, not the actions of the law enforcers. In fact some of the others, like Good's partner, should be charged in this.
An automobile is a quarter ton weapon and can be used even more effectively than a gun in the wrong hands.
Before I met my wife she did that. She was in college at the time and coming home. Someone had broken into her car and was forcing her to drive; no doubt he planned on raping her and probably would have killed her afterward. She was smart; she sped up and ran every stop light and stop sign and the man was terrified - he jumped out of the car as soon as she stopped and ran for it. Had she just obeyed he would have raped her and likely put her in the ground. See, he had a knife - she had a car, a far deadlier weapon. (In fact I ripped that last phrase off writer Larry Niven, who wrote a story similar to my wife's experience and he based it on similar stories he had heard. It happens more than people realize; the car is a quarter ton of death.)
This woman planned to use that quarter ton of death to murder a federal agent and no doubt everyone is surprised she was killed when attempting an assassination.
The point is the Democrats and the Left have raised this to a fever pitch and are now engaging in open violence. They have already gone to the assassination phase, having tried and almost succeeded in murdering Trump and having murdered Charlie Kirk. This is revolution. And still the Democrats call the minor riot on Jan. 16, the one where only a rioter was killed and where people mostly went in the Capitol and strolled about, taking selfies, an insurrection while they themselves refuse to call out this sort of violence on the part of their own supporters. They are traitors, frankly.
A caller to Hannity's radio show yesterday made a great point; the Democrats supported the insurrection in 1860 to keep their slaves and they support insurrection today to keep their wage slaves. Who will wash our dishes or cut our lawns if we don't bring in millions of people? The Antebellum Southerners made the same argument "who will pick our cotton or tote our baggage if we don't have slaves"? They haven't changed much since 1865 it seems.
Actually they have - a lot. The Southern rebellion had a core principle rooted in America, and could be seen as a small c conservative movement in that it attempted to preserve a status quo that had to change. And it was about the rights of states to determine their own destiny, something implicit in the Constitution. Now it's about a radicalism that seeks to destroy the U.S. and re-establish it along a more "modern" European value system, with a new population brought in from overseas to water down the old American beliefs and establish a "more just" social order built on socialism and the rule of "experts" and other elites. This is quite at odds with what the South was trying to do at the time of the Civil War; the South just wanted to be left alone. Now the Democrats - the party that once led the rebellion - wants to remake us and demands we pay for it, and they are the ones who refuse to leave anyone else alone.
So perhaps they still follow form if not function. Any way you look at it they are perfectly happy to use whatever means necessary to impose their will, up to and including murder and mayhem.
At some point this is going to go too far and all hell will break loose. We are in a civil war right now, how bad it gets depends on how vicious they want to be. School shootings, for instance, are a coefficient of this same movement and is designed to terrorize Americans and get us to knuckle under for peace. The shooters are usually just dumb kids who are easily recruited and stimulated into it, but it is the left who establishes networks and groups and who WANT this.
Saul Alinsky once said that it was necessary to "rub raw the sores of discontent". In other words, get everyone angry and frightened and at each-other's throats then they can offer a way out. That has been the Left's MO for a century or more. It works by and large.
So that's what this woman was about; she was a foot soldier in a war that ultimately was not in her interest or anyone's but the elites she probably believes are the villains but in fact were her masters.
Her death was at best in vain. That is a sad legacy indeed.

Some Personal Notes from Tim
Dear readers,
I am sorry blogging has been even lighter than usual; I have been under the weather for the last week or so and, coupled with some family issues as well as cleaning up some messes left from when Cathy passed away I haven't had the time nor the inclination to post much.
Hopefully that will change in the immediate future, although it's still going to be a while before I get back to the blogging of yore. I still can't seem to work up a lot of enthusiasm for it. That is what grief does to you.
At least that's what the grief counselor I spoke with told me. She was great; I was on the phone with her for about an hour and a half. She came from Gentiva, the hospice firm, which was absolutely wonderful through the entire process of Cathy's passing. She called ME and she knew all about my case and who I was and what I was going through and it was wonderful to actually speak with someone who could address my specific situation, who understood, rather than just gave easy platitudes and stock answers.
She warned me that my concentration would be off for a while, which it has been. So too would my interest in most things - even the stuff I love. It's normal, to be expected. She told me to take plenty of time for muself.
We spoke about my father, and his situation. I am quite worried about my father. As regular readers know my father is in his mid-nineties and has been sick this last year. In fact we put him in the same nursing home as my wife so I could keep an eye on both of them, and I was like one of those '50's roller skating waitresses, shooting back and forth between their two rooms and going to talk with the staff about their many mistakes (which were constant in that place). Now Cathy is gone but Dad remains but isn't well and I feel I should be doing more. The grief counselor advised me strongly to let my brother handle it and take time off; she said I desperately need it and will probably really injure myself if I do not. I already spent five days in the hospital as a result of the pressure of it all, just when Cathy was about to die, too. {She thoughtfully waited for me to get back before leaving this weary old world). I need to take my time.
At any rate I remain worn down and was quite sick a few days ago. I was having trouble breathing and thought to call for an ambulance but the thought of getting dressed and being dragged to a place where I was just going to sit and wait for hours anyway seemed daunting, so I rode it out. I figure if God wanted to take me He would have, and if not then staying home wasn't going to kill me. It didn't. I have felt progressively better each day, though I'm still not back to normal.
I WAS exposed to the flu; my neighbor came over to me and was talking my ear off and she said "this is the first time I've been out of the house in a while; I have had the flu". Great. She's a very nice lady and I was glad for the company but it may have just been standard influenza, or even Covid, but at least it wasn't my heart condition. I live with the regular diseases.
At any rate I am still not totally up to snuff.
And yesterday was a series of disagreeable events. I went to open the blinds on my bedroom window to let light in when I got up and the blinds fell down. I had a devil of a time getting them back up and when I did they were all cattywumpas and wouldn't work. I wound up hanging a lace throw over the window for some privacy; I'll have to address those blinds in a day or two, when I feel up for it.
Then the wifi went out and so did my televisions. I was cut off from the world.
I tried to pay my gas bill over the phone and they said my credit card was declined. I checked it when I went out; it worked elsewhere. So now I have to make sure the stupid gas company gets paid so they don't shut me off - something that could well happen given my luck over the last year.
I've had trouble with my bank card since I misplaced my checkbook and put a temporary hold on my account. I couldn't just take the hold off, oh no! I had to get a new card with new numbers, and new passwords, and now this stupid card only works about 75% of the time. The stupid thing gets denied fairly often these days for no good reason except that I made the mistake of asking the bank to hold the account until I found the checkbook.
Then I needed to draw money out of my retirement funds and when my money manager tried he said there was a hold on the account; they had found out Cathy, who was the principle name on the fund, had passed away and so I couldn't get the money. I need it; I have big bills to pay and in fact wrote some checks that are now going to be pushing me uncomfortably close to insufficient funds. I should have enough but it's cutting it fine; no more spending until I know the money is in the account. I had to go out to my money manager's office, and they moved into a new building which I had a devil of a time finding. It was creepy too; a very deep basement parking garage, dark and forbidding. You could survive a nuclear attack down there easily (assuming you had food and water of course). Then I dropped my garage ticket and had to go back into the place (a fairly long walk) and look for it. Fortunately I found it on the floor. By this time much of the day was over and I had no desire to go grocery shopping, as I had planned. I would up eating some leftover spaghetti that was suspiciously aged I dug out of the fridge. Given my tendency to eat antiquities these days it's a wonder I haven't passed from some food-born pathogen.
So that's how it's been going for some time now; one minor mishap after another, interspersed with major disasters. I had hoped my luck was about to change but no dice.
At any rate I got the wifi back last night and just plunked down to watch t.v. and answer the phone calls from my brother, who called me numerous times about my father. No rest for the wicked they say; I must have been a bad, bad boy in a past life (assuming there were such). My mother used to collect all manner of stuff (she was a pack rat) and she had these little figurines. One had a man sitting under a tree with a bird above him and it was captioned "go ahead; everyone else does". I am feeling like that these days.
Hopefully I'll be back in the saddle soon. Please stay tuned.
Tim

Houston We Have a Problem
Timothy Birdnow
Anyone remember the movie Apollo 13 when Fred Haise, after Commander James Lovell asked how he was feeling, said "I think (Jim) Swaggert gave me the clap".
The astronaut on the ISS (Once to be called Freedom when it was solely an American project) called Mission Control and asked to speak to a flight surgeon on a private line. Now apparently the mandarins at NASA are thinking about scrubbing the whole mission.
Very curious.
One wonders just what it could be; obvious they fear something contagious, or deadly, or both.

Hegseth to Strip Mark Kelly of Rank, Pension
Timothy Birdnow
Senator Mark Kelly figured he could shoot his mouth off and nothing would happen. He should think again.
FTA:
What Kelly was saying about "illegal orders" means lower ranks simply deciding they didn't like the Commander-in-Chief's orders and so refuse to obey them.
The President is the Commander-in-Chief and unless his orders are way over the top (like ordering trooops to shoot American citizens in peacetime) they must be obeyed. If people like Kelly don't like that they can work to remove the President legally. They have no right to subborn insobrdination.
Hopefully this will just be the beginning of ways they will punish this jerk.
No doubt Kelly will try to challenge this in civil court.
Senator Mark Kelly figured he could shoot his mouth off and nothing would happen. He should think again.
FTA:
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Monday began taking steps to demote Democratic Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly from his current military rank over his role in a viral video telling U.S. service members and spy agencies they must "refuse illegal orders” by the Trump administration.
Hegseth posted a statement to social media saying the Pentagon is taking administrative action to initiate retirement grade proceedings to demote Kelly from a retired Navy captain to a lower rank, with a corresponding deduction in pay. Hegseth also announced a formal letter of censure, outlining Kelly’s "reckless misconduct.”
"Six weeks ago, Senator Mark Kelly — and five other members of Congress — released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline. As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he is still accountable to military justice,” Hegseth wrote in a Monday morning X post.
"Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly’s seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret),” the War Secretary added. "The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay.

Lies for Hire in Minnesota
Timothy Birdnow
Well, well, well...
SUBMITTED: Minneapolis Craigslist post in search of child actors for daycare site where funding was "cruelly ripped away without cause.”
"To help hurry this state vetting process, we are looking to hire 20 child actors for 3 days while state is present on site.”
$1,500/day… pic.twitter.com/vvhDCR235g

Babbitt Butcher Makes Good
Timothy Birdnow
Remember Michael Byrd? He was the Capitol Hill cop who shot and killed Ahsli Babbitt on January six, then received not a punishment for shooting an unarmed protester but actually was given a promotion.
Well since that time he's become very rich at taxpayer expense.
Developing: Lt. Michael Byrd Who Shot Ashli Babbitt Dead on Jan. 6, 2021 in Cold Blood, Runs an ‘Unaccredited’ Day-Care Center in Maryland at His Home and Has Pocketed $190 Million in HHS Funds
Byrd was an incompetent "affirmative action" hire who once left his service revolver in a public restroom at a restaurant and who was in trouble for getting into a fight at a kids soccer game, among other issues. Yet they kept him and, after shooting Babbitt who posed no threat to his personal safety, was not only never charged with a crime but actually received a promotion.
Now it seems he's been living the life of Reilly, enjoying the fruits of the Walz scam that has plucked American taxpayers like chicken destined for the cookpot.
This is how it works with the Left; they not only protect their own but reward them for it. Byrd should have been prosecuted for manslaughter at least, or wreckless homicide. They rewarded him. Oh, and they probably want him to keep his mouth shut about what really happened that day. I suspect Mr. Byrd knows more than he's told.
The Gateway Pundit dishes:
$190 MILLION for a home daycare??!! This is fraud on a massive scale and this scumbag needs to be put in prison for a long, long time.
And this guy was dirty long before he murdered Mrs. Babbitt, it seems. How long has this daycare scheme been going?
Meanwhile Ashli Babbitt has a life sentence in a pine box and her family has no visiting privileges.

On Tuesday, investigative journalist Paul Sperry discovered recently and posted on Tuesday that Former Lt., now Captain Mike Byrd, has been running an unaccredited day-care center with his wife in their Maryland home since 2008. That is nearly 17 years!
The Byrds have received $190 million in this HHS day-care scheme.

Biden's Fault (What Else is New?)
Timothy Birdnow
I know it seems like we blame Biden for everything but Biden is pretty much to blame for everything...
Trump’s HHS rescinds Biden rule that gave child care centers funding without verifying attendance
Recently Bill H. opined that Tim Walz was chosen to be the V.P. to Kamala Harris so he could take this program national, and undoubtedly the reason they wanted that was sos they could skim vast sums of wealth off the top. I suspect Bill is correct; everything seemed to work together here to create what is perhaps the most massive fraud machine in history.
I doubt we have even scratched the surface on this. Remember, the daycare scam was only one element of this; the DOJ is investigating multiple cons over a wide range involving the Somalis in partnership with the political class.

Walz Out of Race
Timothy Birdnow
Looks like Tampon Tim is quitting his bid for re-election.
Tim Walz Reportedly Ending Re-election Campaign; Has a New Retard Been Slected?
If Walz were a team player he'd resign but I don't think he's man enough.
