Suddenly everyone’s a neocon again

Kind of amazing to see so many “America First” grifters praising the Venezuela invasion and capture of Maduro. Now Venezuela will become a failed state, similar to Libya, as rival factions go to war for control of the country. The chosen US puppet will probably be assassinated within a month. The drug trade is going to flourish like never before, and Venezuelan refugees will flock to the US like never before. The country will become a human trafficking hub.

We think we’re far removed from the chaos, safe and secure within our borders. But this level of chaos always has a way of reaching us. We’ll be dealing with the blowback from this war for years, if not decades.

We can kidnap Maduro but not take out the Mexican cartels?

I knew 2026 was going to be crazy, but I wasn’t expecting to wake up to something as batshit insane as “Trump captures Maduro and wife overnight, flies them to New York for arraignment“. Constitutional crimes notwithstanding, there is something very ominous about this. It was too easy, and the pundit/influencer class is celebrating too early. Does anyone really believe that the Venezuelans feel “liberated”? They’re not going to support a US puppet. The leader that follows Maduro will be worse than him. And there will be consequences for this. What will the global reaction be? Actions like this isolate us from the world. We’re hated because of these brute force bully tactics.

It’s fairly easy to see that this was never about drugs. If it were, why bomb Venezuela and not Mexico? Fentanyl, meth, heroin, all of it is  coming from Mexico.

Trump is bombing Venezuela

This is incredibly sad. We have our own problems, which is an understatement. We have immense problems at home that require our undivided attention. Trump has instigated a war with a nation, and he hasn’t even bothered selling it to the American people. Don’t we deserve at least a quantum of propaganda? Some very terrible people have the ear of the President at the moment. Situations like this spiral too easily.

Feds on parade

Whatever happened to Patriot Front? Remember these guys? I’ve never seen a more transparent undercover operation designed to discredit and entrap MAGA conservatives. Their leader looks like he was cast professionally for this role, a true method actor who has completely taken on the persona. It’s weird.

Look at their silly shields, identical attire, and the way they pour out of the back of Uhaul vans at their flash mob events. Totally normal behavior, amirite?

I’ll go out on a limb and say that the X influencers pushing Patriot Front are probably getting paid to do so.

I’m guessing exactly zero people organically showed up to listen to these feds at their “first ever national conference”. It would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous. Undercover fed ops usually seek to entrap some gullible patsy into agreeing to commit violence. How many instances of political violence in the US has been the result of an entrapment operation that got out of hand? The Feds play with fire with this tactic. Thankfully I don’t think Patriot Front will be getting anyone killed any time soon. PATCON 2.0 has failed. Retards.

 

Make ye a sword of me

Coriolanus is Shakespeare’s unspoken greatest. “For you, the city, thus I turn my back. There is a world elsewhere.” So says the Roman general, contemptuous of the citizens he has defended with his life, and upon close contact, sees that they are little more than rabble. Fiennes plays this immaculately, portraying the extreme, easily wounded pride of a man who is clearly suffering in his attempt to appear palatable to the masses. It doesn’t go well. And so he abandons them, and falls into the arms of his former enemy. It’s a magnificent indictment of unlimited democracy, and the paradox of the necessity of democratic deference to a kernel of authoritarianism if any semblance of democracy is to survive. Democracy without limits consumes itself. The irony is that Rome forfeited what could have been a luxuriant and prosperous 50-year reign at the hands of the man they, in their ignorant gluttony, exile, making him an enemy. Pearls before swine. I am a monarchist because I am a democrat, and I wish severe limits placed on democracy because I so desperately wish it to survive.

The daycare scam in Ohio is being exposed

You really have to hand it to the amateur journalists putting boots on the ground to get this footage.

The lid is about to fly on US welfare fraud

All it took to break the levee is a 23-year old Zoomer, teamed up with a Boomer who’s been investigating this stuff for years. The horse is out of the barn, and amateur investigators have become empowered, and are showing up randomly to addresses listed as daycares, and finding that they don’t exist. It is glorious. The jig is up. Time to fill a few prisons.

We’re in for a very interesting few weeks.

What’s with the trend of attempting to rehabilitate murderers of teenage girls?

I think it’s time to let go of the notion of absolute forgiveness. Some things cannot be forgiven, and some people cannot return to society as free men. Certain acts are too heinous, some crimes too savage, to consider even a drop of forgiveness. Certain violent crimes require something final, be it state-mandated execution or life in a concrete hole.

Here is where forgiveness takes us: In 1995, Kyle Hedquist executed a teen girl who was a witness to a robbery he’d committed. He was given a life sentence, but only served 28 years, when his sentence was commuted by Oregon gov Kate Brown, in 2022. He’s since been appointed (by the city council!) to the Salem Police Review Board, along with the Citizens Advisory Traffic Commission, and the Civil Service Commission. Imagine working along side such a monster, or, as a police officer, having your performance assessed by someone who at the very least should never have seen the light of day again.

Forgiveness, charity, empathy, are diseased-riddled sentiments when not tempered with a strong sense of justice. It shouldn’t even be conceivable to extend forgiveness to such a monster, but it happens every day in our legal system.

Hedquist’s victim was 19-year old Nikki Thrasher. Imagine how her family feels, seeing the news. Seeing this demon dress up like a dipshit dandy so as to appear approachable and “innocent”.
