Democratic Civil War
Timothy Birdnow
Better get out your popcorn popper!
Democratic Chair Ken Martin Warns Vice Chair David Hogg to Knock it Off
Martin is fed up with Hogg's radicalism and trashing of electable Democrats. Hogg has been threatening to primary Democrats who are not as lunatic left as he would like.
It's mazing considering they lost an election to a FELON who was massively outspent and whom they had spent eight years demonizing. It never once occurred to these bolsheviks that perhaps it's their message that has led to defeat.
But what did they expect? Hogg was an arrogant little creep who made his name by screaaming about gun control. Anyone who heard him then knew he was an idiot and a radical but the party put him into a position of authority anyway.
As long as people like Hogg are in charge the Democrats will continue their long, horrible slide into oblivion. And the civil war between the Democrats will continue to metastasize. It's a delight to watch.

James the Slumlord
Timothy Birdnow
Letitia James is a slumlord.
Is NY Attorney General Letitia James a Slumlord in Her Own Building? Tenants Say Yes
From pJ Media:
As a guy who worked in property management for twenty years I can attest to the very easy complaints of tenants and how I would take this with a grain of salt - especially that last. Bedbugs are extraordinarily difficult to get rid of, and often they come back because tenants do not obey the directive to get rid of their stuff and so the bugs are hiding in their chair or comforter or whatnot.
A lot of this other stuff may or may not be legitimate. I rather doubt the tenants know the building codes, for instance. I also doubt any tenant would complain about unpermitted repairs; James would be actually improving their environment and few tenants would complain of that.
So, without actually knowing what these complaints are, I'm taking them with a grain of salt. Sadly so; I'm supposed to be on a salt-free diet! And I also suspect she IS a slumlord; she's got the profile of one. But I have to defend her in this instance.
Peeling paint is another thing though I know how it's pretty tough to keep up with it.
There is a simple way of handling this; the tenants could contact the local building inspectors office and get it certified. If the paint is lead-based she'll be stuck hiring a remediation company to fix the problem. That they haven't done that suggests it's not lead-based paint peeling.
Or the inspectors fear tangling with the AG of New York. But theycould always hire a private company to inspect the property and prepare a report.
Still, James made her bones championing housing rights for tenants. She stated:
If you are going to go there you nneed a squeeky clean rep yourself. Apparently, like most Democrats, the rules only apply to others.

Is NY Attorney General Letitia James a Slumlord in Her Own Building? Tenants Say Yes
From pJ Media:
NY AGT Letitia James is in more trouble after the tenants accuse her of being a slumlord. They say she does nothing about bedbug infestation, peeling paint, using an apartment illegally, and more. They have lodged 17 complaints in the last 20 months with the New York City Department of Buildings.
These include unauthorized construction work without proper permits, the alteration of a load-bearing wall without permits, the illegal use of apartments as hotel rooms, illegal conversion, a fence over the height limit, and a failure to notify authorities of scaffold work. In addition, all four tenants report problems with bedbugs.

A Serial Sewer
Timothy Birdnow
A pervert who dresses in woman's clothing and murdered a baby is suing Donald Trump for his/her/it's/Xi's being raped in prison. See, it's all Trump's fault!
I kid you not.
Jonathan C. Richardson aka Autumn Cordellionè claimed in a handwritten lawsuit that he was raped by a bunch of prisoners and guards let it happen. Oh, and the prisoners said this:
Suuuurrrreee they did!
Does that even remotely sound like most prison inmates?
I wonder which leftist civil rights group talked johnnie appleseedless into filing this complaint?
The ACLU won a lawsuit forcing the prison to pay for the sex-transitioning surgery after Richardson spent 19 years in prison. You mean to tell me nobody bothered him UNTILL then? Without medical surgery he was still prancing about like the sugarplum fairy. But only now with Trump in office did Tinkerbell get raped.
Who believes any of this?
Richards got 55 years in prison for strangling to death his girlfriend's11 month old daughter back in 2011.
Richardson was allegedly told:
"Trump's president now, and we won't even get in trouble for f**king you trannies up," by one of his assailants. He claims he was REPEATEDLY raped after being taken out of special custody and put in the Indiana men's prison.
He was in "special custody" meaning he was being coddled because of his tranny status.
I hate to point this out but a part of why a dude turns himself into a chick is to get the kind of treatment he alleges. One wonders at this supposed sexual assault; it's the kind of thing he long dreamt of no doubt.
But of course it didn't happen, or at least not the way he claims. I doubt it happened at all. If it had at least one guard would have intervened, if for no other reason than to cover their own posteriors. Anyone who works for the government knows the dangers of being unresponsive where one of these liberal protected classes are concerned, and would understand that the media would pounce.
I'd like to know what the baby killer is going to present in court. Does he have prison records showing he was physically assaulted? Did he ask for protective custody? Does he have witnesses who will testify?
I rather doubt it. This is a publicity stunt by a man who has nothing to lose by it and who was promised something or other by one of the NGO's that seek to find any weapon to use against Trump.
This isn't that complicated and it isn't that onerous; if you "feel like a woman" that is your business but you needn't flaunt it. Women dress like men all the time; he need but think of himself as dressed like a tomboy. I remember the Drew Carey show where his transvestite brother was dressed like a man "I'm a rough-and-tumble tomboy today". If that's what it takes to get through the day then do it. Prison isn't about self-fulfillment, it's about survival. If you truly fear your situation you would knuckle under. Rape in prison is abominable and should be punished with great severity, and certainly a person shouldn't be raped just for being different, but there are realities and the reality is you don't go out of your way to antagonize people in prison. This guy's been there long enough - he knows how it works.
I'd like to find the records of his visitors, frankly.
And you will notice he's suing TRUMP, not the state of Indiana, not the warden of the prison, but Donald J. Trump, and for $3.5 million.
This fellow also sued the state of Indiana prior for not letting him wear a hijab, so he's a chronic sewer, er, sioux-er, er, Sue-er, oh you know what I mean!
And the ACLU has becked him all along.
This is purely political and I hope this gets blown out of the water in court.

Russian General Killed by Car Bomb
Timothy Birdnow
A Russian general was murdered by a car bomb on the eve of historic meetings between Putin and Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff, stimulating speculations the Ukrainians or Europeans may have been involved to prevent a peace deal from being reached.
Gen Yaroslav Moskalik was killed when a shrapnel-filled IED exploded under his Volkswagon Golf in the town of Balashikha on Friday, just outside of Moscow. Moskalik was the deputy head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces.
Unless Putin himself did the deed (not unheard-of from the old KGB thug) somebody was trying to derail these talks, in all likelihood.
My money is on Zelensky. He has zero interest in ending this conflict without taking all the occupied territory back and then some, perhaps.
At any rate this may well derail talks, and more importantly lead to a renewed offensive by Russian forces and against civilians, I might add.
Which, it occurs to me, would suit Zeolensky fine; he needs an atrocity to keep America on their side and maybe bring Europeans and other outside forces into actual conflict.
At any rate this is a major provocation that could derail all efforts at a diplomatic settlement. And without aid the Ukrainians will lose in the end, so there is only one options - foreign forces actually fighting in the war. That is no doubt what Zelensky is thinking anyway.

China Losing Trade War
Timothy Birdnow
The Chinese are starting to feel the pinch.
Chinese Exporters Begin to Feel Pain of Tariffs as Containers Stack Up
I've said it all along; China cannot afford a trade war. They are going to lose.
"If the trade war persists, "the damage to the Chinese economy will be far greater than the impact to the U.S. economy,” U.S.-based China affairs commentator Wang He told The Epoch Times."

James Retorts
Timothy Birdnow
Letitia James has hired Hunter Biden's attorney to defend her in her mortgage fraud case.
Her lawyer is claiming the document where James said it would be her primary residence was "a mistake".
Ri-ight.
Mostly he (Abbe Lowell) rails against Trump and his "revenge tour" and disregards the fact that James is the one who campaigned on "getting Trump" in the first place.
James is claiming she signed for her niece, who was going to be the primary resident of the property.
There are "mistakes" on other properties too, like her Brooklyn home which she insists is a fourplex when it is listed as a fiveplex, and her father listing her as "spouse".
It starts to stretch a bit thin, doesn't it?

The Rule of Law?
Timothy Birdnow
This shouldn't surprise anyone; these are Leftist revolutionaries first and foremost.
Democrat Ex-Judge and Wife Arrested for Allegedly Harboring Illegal Alien Tren de Aragua Member
The whole purpose of advice and consent from the Senate is to avoid getting people like this in positions of authority in the first place. But the Senate doesn't do it's job, and we have a hyper-partisan Senate these days. It's one of the reasons why the Senate was appointed by state legislatures or governors and not elected in the first place.
Now just being nominated by a D gets you the gig.
Hope this guy goes to jail, along with the puta he calls a wife.
The Donkeys are now shooting off their mouths about the Rule of Law. Strange how many on their side oppose it when it doesn't serve them.

India and Pakistan Face Off
Timothy Birdnow
Looks like India and Pakistan are going to war.
That at least is what appears likely after Pakistanis launched a major attack on Indians in Kashmir. India has responded by kicking all Pakistanis out of Indian territory within 48 hours.
India Expels Pakistani Diplomats and Closes Border Crossings After Deadly Kashmir Attack
Pakistan denies any knowledge of the attack, which occurred near the tourist town of Palhagam. Masked gunmen came out of the woods there and opened fire, massacring a number of people including a honeymooning couple.
This is so very...Islamic. Launch a cowardly attack on innocents aqnd then act as though they had nothing to do with it.
India and Pakistan are both nuclear powers, I might add. A war between the two could get ugly very fast.

NOAA Lied

NOAA simply erased their own findings! Another from Tony Heller:
NOAA simply erased their own findings! Another from Tony Heller:
Before the IPCC rewrote history in 2001, NOAA knew about the warming from 1981 to 1919.
"Analysis of warming since 1881 shows most of the increase in global temperature happened before 1919 — before the more recent sharp rise in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, said Thomas Karl, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.C. While global climate warmed overall since 1881, it actually cooled from 1921 to 1979, Karl said.””

Geoengineering Goofballs
This courtesy of Tony Heller at Real Climate Science:
"Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action to compensate for the climatic change, or even to allay its effects. They concede that some of the more spectacular solutions proposed, such as melting the arctic ice cap by covering it with black soot or diverting arctic rivers, might create problems far greater than those they solve. But the scientists see few signs that government leaders anywhere are even prepared to take the simple measures of stockpiling food or of introducing the variables of climatic uncertainty into economic projections of future food supplies. The longer the planners delay, the more difficult will they find it to cope with climatic change once the results become grim reality.”

Truth is Stranger than Satire
Timothy Birdnow
Why stop at $50? Why not a hundred, two hundred? Well gooollllyyy....why not just give everyone a hundred million? I mean, with all that money floating around the economy will just boom as everyone can buy stuff they want!
Economic Genius; Let's Have a $50 an Hour Minimum Wage
This isn't some average kook but Barbera Lee, former Congresswoman. Lee is mayor-elect of Oakland, California, having lost in her bid to replace Diane Feinstein.
It's been said that satire is increasingly difficult in modern America as the Democrats surpass anything that can be conceived of by the mind of satirists. This is proof of that for sure.

Chicoms to Violate Outer Space Treaty
Timothy Birdnow
This would be a violation of the Outer Space Treaty.
China Plans for Lunar Base Include Nuclear Power Plant on Moon's Surface
China signed the Outer Space Treaty in 1967. That treaty bans nuclear weapons in space, and even nuclear power by and large. To build a nuclear reactor on the Moon you would have to first ship nuclear material to orbit, then on to the Moon. There is no radily-obtainable fissile materials on the Moon.
It's also unnecessary as you have two weeks of sunlight and no atmosphere, making solar power ideal. Yes, you have two weeks of darkness too, but that can be easily dealt with. Build at the South Pole, say, and you have sunlight 24/7. Or put solar power satellites in orbit. You could also use the difference in temperatures between the sunlight surface and the shadows to generate power. The lunar regolith will retain heat for a long time and you can use the differences. It would be easier than lugging Uranium or other fissile materials, as they are extremely heavy and requier much delta v (thrust) and thus much fuel.
The reason the Chinese want to use nuclear is to "accidentally" leave some in low earth orbit so they have weapons hanging over our heads. I assure you this won't be just reactor-grade uranium but probably plutonium.
In the late '50's and early '60's the U.S. pioneered the use of atomic power to propel a spacecraft. Called Project Orion, it used atomic bombs chucked under a big, heavy plate with a shock absorber attached. The exploding nukes propelled the craft. This was the best spacecraft drive ever invented by Man, and tests using non-nuclear explosives showed it worked beautifully. You could get to Mars in a month with it (rather than the six to ten months required using chemical rockets). You could life a million pounds off the Earth. Whole space colonies could be shipped with it. In fact, the Orion is so good it actually could be used for INTERSTELLAR travel. It would take about a hundred and twenty years to reach the Alpha Centuri system, and it would require a LOT of nuclear bombs, but it is the only interstellar drive we could actually build right now with off-the-shelf technology. It wouldn't be practical of course, but you could send a probe (at enormous cost.)
We dropped it with the signing of the Outer Space Treaty because the nuclear bombs that powered Orion were outlawed in space.
The same happened with the NERVA - Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application - which used a nuclear reacttor to superheat plasma and eject it in rocket fashion. Our experiments with nuclear propolsion ended with the Outer Space Treaty and for the same reason; everyone feared nuclear material in orbit.
So the Chicoms are now going to renege on the treaty. if they do we should do likewise. I hate to start putting nukes in space because it means a much faster attack is possible, but supersonic ICBM technology has largely made this a moot point anyway; they can skirt missile defense systems and change their course on a dime. We could still possibly hit an incoming missile from orbit, but a supersonic will be extremely difficult to take out. And dead is dead; you only have fifteen minutes from the time of launch of a standard ICBM until your incinerated anyway.
Deterrence requires we have everything they have and perhaps more. It's what stopped the Big One with the Soviets, after all. But now we have China coming with smiles, our ostensible friends. And so many American politicians and plutocrats are bought and paid for.
If they want to build a nuclear-powered moonbase so be it, but we'd better have a system in place to knock out anything with that material and do so quickly.
This would be a violation of the Outer Space Treaty.
China Plans for Lunar Base Include Nuclear Power Plant on Moon's Surface
China signed the Outer Space Treaty in 1967. That treaty bans nuclear weapons in space, and even nuclear power by and large. To build a nuclear reactor on the Moon you would have to first ship nuclear material to orbit, then on to the Moon. There is no radily-obtainable fissile materials on the Moon.
It's also unnecessary as you have two weeks of sunlight and no atmosphere, making solar power ideal. Yes, you have two weeks of darkness too, but that can be easily dealt with. Build at the South Pole, say, and you have sunlight 24/7. Or put solar power satellites in orbit. You could also use the difference in temperatures between the sunlight surface and the shadows to generate power. The lunar regolith will retain heat for a long time and you can use the differences. It would be easier than lugging Uranium or other fissile materials, as they are extremely heavy and requier much delta v (thrust) and thus much fuel.
The reason the Chinese want to use nuclear is to "accidentally" leave some in low earth orbit so they have weapons hanging over our heads. I assure you this won't be just reactor-grade uranium but probably plutonium.
In the late '50's and early '60's the U.S. pioneered the use of atomic power to propel a spacecraft. Called Project Orion, it used atomic bombs chucked under a big, heavy plate with a shock absorber attached. The exploding nukes propelled the craft. This was the best spacecraft drive ever invented by Man, and tests using non-nuclear explosives showed it worked beautifully. You could get to Mars in a month with it (rather than the six to ten months required using chemical rockets). You could life a million pounds off the Earth. Whole space colonies could be shipped with it. In fact, the Orion is so good it actually could be used for INTERSTELLAR travel. It would take about a hundred and twenty years to reach the Alpha Centuri system, and it would require a LOT of nuclear bombs, but it is the only interstellar drive we could actually build right now with off-the-shelf technology. It wouldn't be practical of course, but you could send a probe (at enormous cost.)
We dropped it with the signing of the Outer Space Treaty because the nuclear bombs that powered Orion were outlawed in space.
The same happened with the NERVA - Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application - which used a nuclear reacttor to superheat plasma and eject it in rocket fashion. Our experiments with nuclear propolsion ended with the Outer Space Treaty and for the same reason; everyone feared nuclear material in orbit.
So the Chicoms are now going to renege on the treaty. if they do we should do likewise. I hate to start putting nukes in space because it means a much faster attack is possible, but supersonic ICBM technology has largely made this a moot point anyway; they can skirt missile defense systems and change their course on a dime. We could still possibly hit an incoming missile from orbit, but a supersonic will be extremely difficult to take out. And dead is dead; you only have fifteen minutes from the time of launch of a standard ICBM until your incinerated anyway.

The U.K. wants to "dim" the sun to stop climate change? Methinks they are the dim ones already.
UK Govt Approves New Plans to Dim the Sun to Fight "Runaway Climate Change"
I am always mindful of the children's song about the old woman who swallowed a fly; everything she did to get rid of the fly made it worse - until she died from swallowing a horse. This dimbulbs want to make the exact same mistake.

Jeffries Tampering with Trump Foreign Policy
Timothy Birdnow
Wouldn't this be a violation of the Logan Act?
Hakeem Jeffries to Lead Bipartisan Delegation to Denmark to Discuss Greenland
Jeffries and the others going there are doing nothing but attempting to subvert Trump's efforts to purchase Greenland for America's national security. He's tampering with our international policy.
Only two people have ever been charged under the Logan Act and there have been no convictions, but the law is on the books. If Congress doesn't want it used they are required to rescind it. I would like to see it removed from the books. Maybe an indictment of Jeffries would lead to that (I doubt he'd face any jail time although the penalty is up to three years; I suspect the law would be struck down by SCOTUS if it came to that.)
At any rate Jeffries is attempting to interfere with the duties of the executive branch of government by doing this; there need to be consequences.
Hey, maybe when Jeffries is in Greenland Trump can issue deportation orders for him and he'll have to stay there! It's the kind of island prison that suits the Democratic Party, if you ask me.

Durbin Skulking Away
Timothy Birdnow
Dick Durbin, the Turban, the Sheik of the Burning Bland, is retiring from the U.S. Senate.
The Illinois Bolshevik, er, Democrat was one of the most radical of Senators during his time in office, and offered aid and comfort to our enemies on numerous occasions. He will not be missed.
I wonder if he's not fearful of an investigation into his affairs and wants out now to escape an investigation? I am sure he's dirty to the core.
Of course he's from Illinois and his replacement probably will not be any better.

GOP Seizure
Timothy Birdnow
Time is running out for the GOP according to former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
Gringrich is correct; he argues that the House GOP has to get off it's hands and move the Trump agenda forward now. If they wait until July it will be too late and they will likely lose control of the House of Representatives. Now they are poised to not just win the House but win it big; there are 26 House Democrats who are vulnerable right now and can be taken out, but only if Republicans show there is a good reason to do so. Mike "Tiny" JOhnson does not appear to be the man for this job, I fear. He is continuing the GOP practice of doing nothing so as not to take any heat. Cowardice is the road to defeat.
Gingrich stated:
He's right, and we won't get the economy rolling while doing business-as-usual. Time to put up or shut up. I fear the GOP is going to return to it's vomit, like an old dog, and shut up. They are always comfortable as lapdogs of the ruling Democrats and still behave like they are the minority party. It's safe and cozy there in the shadows to them.
Trump is moving very fast on some things but nnot fast enough. This requires blitzkreig, lightning warfare. Speed is of the essence in these years before the mid-term. Success breeds success. As Sun Tzu said, opportunities multiply when they are seized. The GOP seems incapable of seizing much (except themselves apparently).

Gingrich stated:
"This is life and death for the House Republican Party because they have to have a strong economy in 2026 if they’re going to have a chance to keep their majority. If we have a bad economy next year, Republicans will not keep the House,” Gingrich added. "So the Senate doesn’t feel the same pressure, which is unfortunate.”
