This is a big deal, ya'll.

  Tampon Tim is in a tight spot.

  He cannot and will not enforce the law, and any calling of the National Guard makes him an outlaw.

  One way or another, the Minnesota National Guard will be called up, but not to fight against ICE.

  The real question is whether or not they will follow lawful orders. If they don't, we may have a real problem here.

  Sympathy for an insurrection is insurrection in itself. So if Walz calls, there is going to be trouble with a capital T.

Gotta be somebody's last rodeo

  The author puts forth the proposition that this is some sort of desperate act by villains who want to escape justice.

  Yeah, I'd say.  If Trump falters, he's done.  If the left backs down, they are.  Something has to give.

  Consider the scene.  The shooting involves a woman who was blocking traffic. This is an act of lawlessness in and of itself.  Where were the local police?

  The local police, no doubt, were ordered to stand down.  Meanwhile, the lawless element can be disruptive as they pleased.  One could argue that the local authorities are aiding and abetting lawlessness and disorder.

  Now that somebody has been "kilt" ( a bit of Jasmine-speak there), we are to entertain their notion of wrong-doing by the Federal agent.  The Federal Agent is there to enforce the immigration law, not to direct traffic.  There are better ways to deal with an unjust law ( if that is their position) than to oppose the lawful enforcement of the law.  Even if the law is not being properly enforced, this kind of "protest" isn't valid.  Peaceful and orderly protest is fully supported by the law.  Not disorderly conduct, and impeding a law enforcement officer.  Certainly not in ignoring a lawful command to cease and desist.  The result is somebody getting "kilt".  Who's to blame for that?  If you cannot support the enforcement of the law, and those who do it, where does that put YOU?

  Of course the instigators are aware of that, and can be heard asking if they are police officers.  Indeed, they are not.  But they shouldn't have to be.  The situation came as a result of the local authorities refusing to keep good order, which includes keeping the streets open, and unlawful and disorderly conduct from taking over the streets.  This forced the agents to have to do the locals' jobs for them.

  Some pols are calling for invoking the Insurrection Act.  Meanwhile, Governor Walz is calling up the National Guard.  Minnesota v US Federal Government?  Seriously?  Does this clown really want a Fort Sumter in order to avoid getting bad publicity about fraud in his state?

  There is a potential for some really serious sheet here main.

  By the way, this is not very good distraction from the fraud.  This is even worse than fraud.  This is insurrection.  Fraud doesn't come with a death sentence.  This could.  People need to wise up here.  People need to get a grip.

  Comment:

If the GOP cannot get themselves up enough to beat the likes of THIS, they need to drop out of any election for political office. This isn't worth addressing on the same level. It is the level of the 3 year old child.

CAVEAT:

There's a lot of fakery out there. I think Jasmine Crockett is dumb enough to do something like this, but what if she really didn't? We don't need to fake anything. So if this is really a fake, it won't help. All we need is the truth, conviction, and a bit of backbone. We DON'T NEED weaklings.





GOP isn't worth a bucket of warm spit

  Note: This will be embedded into the post, but it may not last. Some sites object to this practice. If that happens, it may have to be taken down. A link will be provided in any case.

  This is an election year, and the posturing has begun.  That is my initial take.   On further examination, I note that a candidate for Texas' highly contested Senate seat, a certain Rep. Wesley Hunt, did not vote. Personally, I take that as a negative. But who knows with the GOP?

  It looks to me like a party of super-squishes.

  They may even eventually pass the stupid bill.

  Can you count on the Senate?  Maybe.  But it shouldn't have gotten that far.

A crisis is brewing

 

  Link from The Liberty Daily: How Dare You Fight Back Against Communists!

  In my opinion, you have to ask what form of resistance can you take?  This is kind of a cold war of nerves.  The idea is to impress others of your cause.  You cannot just impose your will on someone without appearing to be a tyrant.

  Even in run-up to the Civil War, both sides were accusing each other of being the aggressor.  When opposing sides are saying opposite things, only one of them can be right.

  By the time the shooting starts, it may no longer matter.

  The one difference between the Civil War in the nineteenth century, and the possible one here is that one side is not necessarily trying to leave the Union.  But one side is definitely trying to nullify the law.  Nullification DID precede secession in the nineteenth century.  Will history repeat?

  John C. Calhoun of South Carolina, espoused a nullification theory on the subject of tariffs back then.  The comparable thing today is nullification of the immigration laws.  It would seem that precedent favors the enforcement of the laws. If the opponents to the law's enforcement continue with their resistance, at some point a decision will have to be made with respect to the use of force.

  We may be seeing that with Gov Walz calling out the Minnesota National Guard.

  Walz cannot win this unless something else happens to make that possible.

  This might not be as far-fetched as it would seem.  There seems to be a lot of push-back within the GOP lately.  Sides have to be taken.  There's really no middle ground here.

Megyn Kelly Breaks Down What the Minnesota ICE Shooting Videos REALLY Show and Reveals NEW Info

   As the title says, Megyn Kelly breaks down the incident.

  The locals want to prosecute, and who knows how it will shake out.

  Of course, the locals are in the wrong, but this is a deep blue state, with a population that is not likely to be very friendly towards the defendant ( should that be the case).

  It would be a local case, but it shouldn't be allowed. These jurisdictions are out of bounds here. It's not a rosy looking dish no matter how you look at it.

  I am convinced that the shooting is justified, but I don't live in Minnesota. You see the problem?

The date is significant.  It is about the time I spent about two weeks out West at my property.  The most recent video is only a couple months old, so it's still around.

Interesting little contraption.  I was thinking of something like this in order to get around out there in the boonies at da Ranch.

Of course, it costs money and time, like everything.  Don't know if I have either to spare at the moment.  Put it on my wish list for the future.  Maybe some day...






Octopus recognizes human faces, and eats sharks

 

But this won't go into video library just yet. The library is going to be limited to the most popular ones. So if this one gets popular, it will be included at the time it is recognized. How long? It may take some time. It likely won't be tomorrow, or even next week.

Off Grid Water Distillation at its Best!

Looks like a system that can be purchased and put to work.  Up to 16 gallons of distilled water per day using biomass.  A link provided with the video shows where you can buy.

Update:

The stove makes it a two-part system.  Here's where you can buy the stove (link no longer works).

Try this, but says it is no longer available.  But I've made my own.  Maybe it isn't as good as this was, though.  Mine had copper tubing.

For the privacy minded...

 

CIA interfered in the 2020 election

  Some additional information that bears relevance: A US Congressman has died, and he's GOP. Another injured and hospitalized due to an auto accident. Currently, there's no majority in the US Congress.

  It's relevant because there's no helmsman at the rudder.

  As for this, it only formalizes the obvious. The 2020 election was stolen. The J6th False Flag is a cover-up for the real crimes, which are continuing.

  Why doesn't Trump's DOJ do anything?  It isn't entirely HIS DOJ, ya'll.  The only way is to take them to Guantanamo, and hold military tribunals. That could backfire.

  Nope, the only peaceful way out of this is at the voting booth.  It's all up to the public, or the "sword".

  Hopefully, the public will choose wisely.  However, there are powerful forces which have already seen that this could prove problematical.  Nevertheless, if the public repudiates these people, there will be at least political accountability.  At this point, that's about as good as it is going to get.

Prove me wrong.

Things are heating up

 Looks like Canada has hit the US automotive industry, perhaps some other things as well.  In other words, they are fighting back.

Canada, Europe, and most of the rest of the world have fed off US generosity for the last 80 years.  Time's up on that, or is it?  For that is what globalism really is.  It is intended to do what it did, in the alleged hopes that it would lead to peace.

In that way, it has failed miserably.  Either accept that, or not accept that.  Either way, times are going to change whether or not you want them to, or not.

We can take care of our country, or we can continue to fail.  That's what this is all about.


Ends NATO? When do we start?

 

  Yours truly doesn't give a rat's rear end about NATO.  If the NATO freaks want to end NATO in the event of annexation of Greenland, then "good deal, I accept". Let's do it.

  Unfortunately, it cannot be done because there are enough people in the GOP who would object. Not only that, if Trump really did do that, they'd join the Democrats. In their heart of hearts, that's what they really want to do anyway.

  Get rid of those folks, and a lot of the things holding us back would be removed. That's why the primaries matter.

  The RINOS need to keep their feet in the door, and this is one of the means by which they can do it.

  NATO needs us, not the other way around.   They'd never let us leave NATO, and the threat is an empty one.  The real threat is against Trump if he dared to do it.

New Texas Driving Laws in 2026: Breaking Them Could Cost You Thousands

 

The fines are excessive, the enforcement is unreasonable, and I have to ask something. What the hell are these people doing???? You'd think that this was Collyfornia. Shoot, if we all wanted all of that regulation, we'd be living there, for cripes sake.

Globalist Empire of the Phony and Fake

1/5/26:

None of what I have written today is new. This entire blog is evidence of that.  But just in case you need a reminder, here is what I wrote nearly a decade ago... Just as true today.  One thing that has changed is that we might have a chance to escape the failed policies of globalism.  But Trump's critics get their way, it's back to the dumpster...

8/17/16: The old guard of the ruling class, made up of Democrats AND many Republicans, favor the economic, social, and military doctrines of Globalism.  These doctrines are failing systemically, as noted in the 9-11 Report following the Islamic terror attacks on that date in 2001.  However, it was only noted in that report that it was a systemic failure of 'imagination'.  It is more likely far worse than that. Indeed, the imaginative ways that the globalists are defending their failing doctrine puts that dubious theory to rest.  Their imaginations have concocted some rather elaborate falsehoods that will eventually collapse under their own weight.

It has been said that figures don't lie, but liars figure.  Also, that there are lies, damned lies, and statistics.  The rosy economic scenario lauded at the Democrat National Convention is supported by a raft of phonied up statistics, mountains of debt, and extraordinary monetary expansion.  After seven years of what they are pleased to call a recovery, they point to low unemployment and a rising stock market as proof of their success.  But the numbers are misleading.  This economic recovery is the weakest post World War II recovery on record.  Job growth is overstated.  Even if it were to be accurate, it is still weak by historical standards.   Inflation is said to be low, but that is disputed as well.  One number that is hard to hide is the number of people on government assistance.  If the economy was so strong, then why do so many people need help?  If the job market is so strong, then why can't interest rates normalize?  The Democrats may sing Happy Days Are Here Again, but nearly two thirds of Americans consistently say that the country is on the wrong track.  The debt, phony statistics, and monetary expansion has not been convincing.

The social policies of the Globalists are failing as badly as the economic ones.  Crime was on the way down, now it is going back up.  The Globalists are a destabilizing force behind this as well as our international relations.  Low birth rates require new people to replace those who failed to reproduce.  Why do people fail to reproduce?  Could it be the encouragement to adopt homosexuality as an acceptable alternative to traditional marriage between men and women?  If homosexuality is encouraged by social policies, then you certainly get more of it.  The politically correct will say that they are born that way, but homosexuality can be encouraged and it can lead to more of it being practiced than before.  It was in fact discouraged throughout history due to the fact that it will lead to disastrous failure to have enough children.  Combine this dubious policy with abortion on demand, and it is little wonder that birth rates have crashed, and immigration has soared.  Moreover, single parent families often result in absent fathers, which has an concomitant ill effect on male behavior.   Millions of these new immigrant replacement citizens, who do not understand our culture, become a destabilizing force as well.  Inviting people of all nations to come here will only lead to more violence and terror going forward.  Indiscriminate immigration from areas of the world which sponsor terror almost guarantee future wars.  It seems that everything that the Globalists do points to the destabilization of society.  Do they want our society to fail for some reason known only to themselves?

Globalists are picking a fight with Russia over Ukraine.  Why pick a fight with Russia?  Even during the height of the Cold War, the West would never have dreamed to interfere in Ukraine.  Such would have led directly to World War III.  Some may argue that the Globalists are not picking a fight with Russia, and that it is all Russia's fault.  But Ukraine has been in the Russian sphere of interest for centuries.  An attempt to separate them from the Russian sphere can only lead to suspicion in Moscow.  Ukraine opens the high road of conquest to Moscow, and possible end of Russia as they have known it.  Although the Globalists may hail this a positive achievement, it is not likely to happen without a ferocious fight.  Hence, the Globalists are picking this fight.  Do we need this?

Indeed, the Globalists have staggered into and out of more wars than can be counted.  There may come a day when the Globalists have us fighting a World War all over the globe.  Supposedly, Globalism seeks peace and prosperity.  It is failing on both counts.  Time to make a change and send them home before it is too late.



Trump is holding a bag of doo-doo

And he'll probably get the blame for what has already happened.

Just watched a video that I won't embed. The gist of that was what I just wrote above.

The end of the petrodollar is at hand. All of the Bric nations have been pushing for this for as long as I can remember.

If it happens, and it appears that it will, it won't be because of anything Trump has done, or hasn't done.

The country won't face up to its problems, and this is just another consequence of that. It is happening all over the formerly "free" world.

When the public realizes that it is getting poorer, not richer; there will be hell to pay. But it won't solve a thing. It hasn't solved anything so far, has it?

A solution is closer than you can imagine, but we cannot do that. Nor will it be attempted until we have no other choice. (Even if then)

Anyway, it all can be attributed to the non-seriousness of Western civilization.

You cut your source of supply off, what do you think is going to happen?

People will look for someone to blame, but all you have to do is to look in the mirror. But that is the last thing that will be done, and even then, it may not be.

And so it goes...

I've probably written this before...

1/5/26:

American Thinker is pointing the finger at Democrats, and accusing them of not being serious.

You know who doesn't seem serious to me right now? The so-called called leaders of MAGA!

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be many, if any at all, serious people in this country today.

If you cannot be serious about the upcoming election, you will become irrelevant. Then why would anybody take you seriously again?

It is really an amazing thing to behold. Utter non-seriousness.

Compared to the Democrats, I'd say the Democrats are way ahead on the seriousness department.

10/21/25:

 

It will be a one-sentence declaration: It's utterly non-serious. There... It's written again.

 

Just reading over the usual sites that I read... Nothing much is really happening. The left is in its Oscar winning performance mode---saying how the country is no longer the Yankee Doodle Dandy model of yesteryear. But as usual, they are full of shit.

 

Nothing much is changing. The left is confusing the public, and the so-called conservatives aren't really doing a damned thing about it. Not only that, close to half of the country believes the bullshit.

 

One thing IS serious. If something doesn't start really changing soon, these Dems commies will undo every single thing, and then some. Another chance like this won't likely come again. In other words, the doom of this country will be sealed.

 

Not wishing to be on the downer, but that's how it really is. Trump is doing a good job, but it is not nearly enough. That's because it isn't nearly aggressive enough. Trouble is, if he did try to do anything, the GOP would get nervous and would probably stop him. Example? The shutdown. The left has presented their jugular, and the GOP doesn't go for it. Trump and the GOP will regret this. If not, the rest of us will.

 

There's a limited time to get this done, and the GOP/Trump has pissed away most of Trump's first year of the second term. His accomplishments all seem superficially impressive, but it needs to be better, and it ain't. Our problems aren't in the middle east nor in Ukraine. It's always been right here.

 

As for the title claim, it has always been true about the GOP. Way too scaredy cat to do anything serious.

Nuremberg official trailer

   Link obtained from Instapundit post:

  Title NUREMBERG| Official Trailer #1 (2025)

   Author= Sony Pictures Classics

  Description:The Allies ..prosecutor, Jackson (Michael Shannon), ..Holocaust.. psychiatrist (Rami Malek) dramatic psychological duel w Göring (Russell Crowe)

   Unofficial non-professional Amateurish: Comment:

  This seemed interesting at first. To watch the new movie, you'll have to pay up. It stopped being as interesting... So, I consulted some historical background on it.

  Not to defend the Nazis, but the deeper I dig into this, the more the stench of communism started creeping in.   That stench is awfully hard to get out.

  As for the Jews, who can explain them to themselves?  Israel is a good ally, but their brethren in this country seems to be hellbent to leather to wipe themselves out, as well as the country they care about.   Jews vote for Democrats, and Democrats are not yesterday's Democrats. They've morphed into communists. No doubt about it.





Gone with the Wind (1939) Official Trailer - Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh Movie HD

 

Author:   Rotten Tomatoes Classic Trailers

Description: "A manipulative Southern belle carries on a turbulent affair with a blockade runner during the American Civil War."

My unofficial comment:



  Still the most popular movie of all time, after adjusting for inflation.  But there are those movies, ie. Avatar, which are closely behind.  Just in time for the movie industry to crater.  Wonder why?  Well, modern movies are just a bunch of fake CGI video effects.  The modern taste has embraced the fake as well as the culture has.  Perhaps if they made movies the old-fashioned way, people would come back to the theaters. But that would make too much sense.

BTW, it was tried, but it didn't catch on. But it is in the database too, as this one.
