“Most days during the Biden administration, you’d wake up and wonder what Joe was going to trip over, either physically or verbally, today? How many mumblings would end with a ‘Well, anyway …’ like it was pudding time in the nursing home. With the Trump administration, both of them, you wake up wondering what the fake outrage will be and which liberal city might burn. The common problem is that both scenarios are Democrats, either lying to the public about Biden’s mental abilities or lying to the public in the hopes of causing riots. I used to feel bad for people in the cities overrun by Democrats’ BLM/ANTIFA Brownshirts; who wants to see their fellow Americans going through hell? But then you realize that these people voted for this, and did so repeatedly.” (01/18/25)
“This past week has shown that you can’t leave something as important as resisting the government up to the opposition party. Democrats in Congress, like the majority of the country, are incensed about the murder of Renee Good, the subsequent wounding and maiming of others, and the seeming improbability of forthcoming accountability for any of this. To use the most salient example, federal investigators have commandeered the Good case, are withholding evidence from the state of Minnesota, and have turned the probe into a smear job against her and whatever activism she and her wife were engaged in. Justice Department prosecutors have resigned in protest. While state and local prosecutors try to keep the Good case alive, ICE agents are unquestionably violating their own written policies and the constitutional rights of citizens expressing their opposition through free speech and peaceable assembly.” (01/16/25)
“Remember the outrage from the left when Elon Musk and the DOGE crew uncovered all the fraud in the USAID program? Billions of our tax dollars going to leftist causes after being laundered through so-called non-profits. These were ‘charities’ in the most basic and legal sense, but they were really partisan organizations using our tax dollars to advance a progressive agenda around the world. While USAID spread money overseas, much the same scam is happening in the domestic ‘charity’ world, too. When I started at the Heritage Foundation in 2001, one of the first things I was told was that I was NOT to do anything even remotely political on their computers or during work hours. In the Clinton administration, Heritage had been audited nearly every year by the IRS – surely just a coincidence and NOT the early stages of Democrats weaponizing government, right?” (01/15/25)

“Is there anything more undignified than ‘leftists’ and ‘anarchists’ who cheer on the fall of empire-targeted governments even as the empire moves war machinery into place? Ooh look at me I’m sticking it to the man by supporting the same agendas as the US State Department. I’m being punk rock by regurgitating the same war propaganda talking points as John Bolton. I’m fighting the power by backing the foreign policy objectives of the most powerful empire that has ever existed. Fucking embarrassing, man. If you want to have a serious political outlook it is necessary to have a more layered understanding of the world than ‘tyranny bad,’ because as westerners we ourselves are ruled by the most tyrannical power structure on earth.” [editor’s note: If you want to have a serious political outlook, it is necessary to have a more layered understanding of the world that “US regime bad, so every other festering sewer of a regime good” – TLK] (01/15/25)
“Donald Trump may, of course, be the Republican candidate for president in 2028, the U.S. Constitution notwithstanding. Although it is clearly written in the 22nd Amendment that ‘no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice’, it may well be a majority vote of the Supreme Court that determines whether that applies to Trump. In the past, that court has gotten around the Constitution without a single word of it being changed. Rather, its judges have let an innovative interpretation prevail. In 1896, for instance, in Plessy v. Ferguson, the court ignored the unambiguous language of the 14th Amendment that demanded ‘equal protection’ and so upheld racial segregation by creating the fiction of ‘separate but equal’. It would take 58 years before that lie would be overturned.” (01/15/25)
“On January 7, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis—a city long enriched by immigrants and now under assault from thousands of ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents. Good, a 37-year-old poet and mother of three, was driving alongside her wife, Becca. They were observing an ICE raid in their community. ‘We stopped to support our neighbors. We had whistles. They had guns,’ said Becca. Sadly, at least three other people have been killed by ICE officers in the last five months, according to The Marshall Project. Among them was Silverio Villegas González, a 38-year-old father and cook originally from Mexico, who was fatally shot during a traffic stop in a Chicago suburb. Keith Porter Jr., a 43-year-old father of two (and, like Good, a US citizen) was shot and killed by an off-duty ICE agent on New Year’s Eve in Los Angeles.” (01/15/25)
