    Magaloons are feverishly repeating the “Trump has a mandate” mantra.
    – Resurrected Hillbilly
    lol. ‘Magaloons’. I hadn’t heard that. Usually it’s ‘MAGAts’ when it’s not the normal kind of hitlernazi sort of thing. This last is odd since the Germans took some time to build a fairly complex legal and social structure for Nazism, and there’s really nothing in the US that rhymes.
    Even our ‘Hillbilly’ above can see that the tide has turned somewhat, the dam has broken. There’s something of a push against men with fetishes and towards regular dudes. Being a Deep Blue county and all, maybe Nevada County can keep the flame going by hosting Drag Queen Stripper Pole Story Hour for preschoolers and open up a few abortion clinics and child mutilation centers for people from Idaho to travel to. We could put together a sort of insane people theme park with a Disneyesque Broad Street Crazy Parade complete with the traditional Death To Russia rally at Pioneer Park.
    Seriously, there’s money to be made here.

    Bobby Reich (the Third?) got out his crayons and scribbled a fun little political scare-porn op-ed.
    “Come 20 January, Trump and his toadies – including billionaires such as Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy – will have total control over the executive branch of the United States government.”
    O-M-G!!! The person who is voted in as POTUS has never had THAT kind of control!! Pretty frightening that the president has total – TOTAL control over the executive branch!
    Even worse:
    “Trump’s Maga Republicans will be in charge of both chambers of Congress as well.”
    So both houses are now Trump’s “MAGA Republicans?
    Like the ones that voted to impeach him on phony grounds? Those Republicans?
    Hilarious:
    “Citizens concerned about democracy must monitor those in power, act as watchdogs against abuses of power, challenge those abuses, organize and litigate, and sound the alarm about wrongdoing and wrongful policies.”
    Whoa – what a concept!
    What a complete joke of an op-ed.

    The start of a hybrid war plan by the axis of evil? –
    According to reports in Eurasia Daily and Defence24, the Danish Navy has boarded and detained the Chinese Bulk Carrier Yi Peng 3 in the Danish Straits, near the exit of the Great Belt. The detention took place on the evening of November 18. According to Financial Times sources, Sweden authorities are “carefully studying the Chinese vessel.”
    The undersea cable connecting Sweden to Lithuania was the first to be hit, sustaining damage around Sunday, November 17, 2024. The Finland-Germany undersea cable was then cut the following day. On Tuesday, the Sweden Ministry of Civil Defense announced that it had recorded the ship’s movements and placed the Yi Peng 3 within the vicinity of possible sabotage events.
    This comes just a few months after NATO said that Russia was mapping undersea fiber optic cables as part of its strategy to disrupt communications. While the involved ship is flagged by China, the two countries are, if not exactly allies, at least friendly on friendly terms. Last year, another Chinese cargo ship reportedly dragged an anchor for “hundreds of kilometers,” thus damaging a gas pipeline in the Baltic that connects Finland and Estonia. Finland contends the incident was intentional.

    The view gets slapped down by their network to prevent a winning law suit –
    “The View” co-host Sunny Hostin appeared downcast Tuesday as she was forced to read a legal disclaimer on air after blasting Attorney General nominee Matt Gaetz over accusations that he had sex with a 17-year-old girl and was engaged in illegal sex trafficking.
    Hostin had ranted minutes earlier about the allegations against Gaetz, President-elect Donald Trump’s choice to run the Justice Department.
    “How could you nominate someone with allegations of child trafficking or trafficking across state lines and having sex with a 17-year-old?” Hostin asked viewers, according to a clip of the Tuesday show that was shared on X.
    Just three minutes later, co-host Whoopi Goldberg brought the discussion to a halt by saying, “Sunny, you have a legal note.”
    “I do, Whoopi, thank you,” Hostin replied before reading off the memo.
    “Matt Gaetz has long denied all allegations,” she intoned, “calling the claims ‘invented’ and saying in a statement to ABC News that, ‘This false smear following a three-year criminal investigation should be viewed with great skepticism.’
    “That DOJ investigation was closed with no charges being brought,” Hostin concluded.
    The clip of Hostin choking out the legal disclaimer went viral after it was shared on X by conservative internet personality Collin Rugg, who wrote, “Sunny Hostin fumes as she is forced to read a legal note just minutes after presenting the Matt Gaetz allegations as a ‘fact.’”
    “You just know ABC told her she had to do it or they would fire her to prevent the network from getting sued.”
    Another commentator chirped: “You know Hostin is a serial liar when The View is forcing her to read legal notices after her comments.”

    re: Washington Post.
    Not much to be said about newspapers as a dying concept. This last bit of Peak Activism was kind of a bummer, but the end is in sight regardless.
    One thing I don’t see mentioned much is that it’s fairly obvious that a goodly section of the population, let’s say 10%? 20%? can write as well as professional newspaper people, especially if all they do is op-eds.
    I’m always struck by that on YouTube. There are so many popular shows out there that are a guy-with-a-camera. There’s no telling who the camera will love and once the business moats got filled in, it turns out that people are pretty good at that. Why on Earth anyone thinks Maddow is worth $25M/yr is beyond me, that’s a whole lotta ad revenue. Of course, next up is increasing dominance of AI-written stories and AI talking heads.
    Once again, Bezos loses in the dick-waving contest with Musk. He probably should stick to his online Walmart and computer hosting biz.

    Perhaps this is just what some of your local progressive men are hoping for from these “migrants”.

    DIVERSITY IS OUR STRENGTH: Shameless court behavior of migrant charged with robbing and exposing himself to Alvin Bragg’s assistant prosecutor.
    Simosa was arraigned at Manhattan Criminal Court on Thursday and was charged with first-degree sexually motivated robbery.
    But he appeared nonchalant during the hearing, at one point closing his eyes and lying back languidly across the courtroom bench.
    Judge Janet McDonell also pointed out that the defendant did not appear to be taking things seriously – as he was pictured rolling his eyes.
    ‘He arrived here in New York in June and has managed to get arrested seven times since June, and at one point was smiling, and is smiling now, and I observed him laughing during the proceeding,’ the New York Post reports the judge said.
    Simosa walked into the court smirking wearing a green jacket, jeans and black boots.
    She remanded him in custody pending his trial. ICE has already put in a request for custody.
    Simosa is accused of following the 38-year-old victim into her 44th Street building before demanding she hand over her possessions.
    The terrified attorney handed over her phone, ID and credit cards, Assistant District Attorney Devin Horzempa told the court.
    Simosa is then alleged to have yelled at the victim until she gave over her PIN codes and ‘began masturbating towards the victim for a period of several moments,’ Horzempa said.
    He’s just doing the jobs Americans won’t do.

    Getting the high quality degradation that mere text exchanges at RR’s just can’t provide!

    You may have noticed that many of the selections for the gathering Donald Trump Cabinet are eliciting reactions ranging from distaste to outright alarm. You may have also noticed conservatives smiling broadly at both the selections and those reactions.
    Trump’s picks, as the saying goes, are upsetting the right people. And that doesn’t mean just Democrats. History will record that both Trump presidential victories were fueled by his successful challenges to the establishment layers of both parties. As he gathers his pirate ship filled with a feisty mixture of hand-picked MAGA allies, some dinosaur Republicans are as irate as Kamala Harris voters.

    I’m not sure what the ‘whole point’ is, not being a mind reader or meeting attender, etc.
    I see the problem though. Most anyone who has high experience in the bureaucracy is likely a member of the hive mind there. If you want to change anything, you need fresh blood…which of course the institutional sharks will immediately home in on. Some of the Trump picks are bound to flame out as they are inadequate to the job (and perhaps anyone is, given the priesthood at that particular department). It might seem righteous to actually dissolve some large federal organizations, but my own guess is that they are more powerful than the Presidency and have been for some time. We’ll see.
    In the meantime:
    “Donald Trump’s popularity has surged among young Americans, jumping nearly 20 per cent with those aged 18-29 in the space of just over a week.
    “Conducted from November 17 to 19, the survey revealed that 57 percent of Americans aged 18 to 29 now hold a favorable view of Trump, marking a net favorability increase of 19 points in that demographic since the YouGov poll on November 9 and 12,” reports Newsweek.”

    Since school boards and city councils are going to be the last folks to swing to sanity, I figure that what they need is a demonstration from the diaper furries as a protected class.
    in other news (Sputnik):
    “Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on the statement by NATO Military Committee Chairman Admiral Rob Bauer regarding the alliance’s potential precision strikes on Russia.
    “Apparently, they didn’t finish reading the updated doctrine,” she said.”
    Oh great. I guess this is one way for the ‘Biden’ administration to go out with a bang.

    Given that liberals are the biggest grifters on Earth, it’s really hard to find fault with Kamala’s run. A party of lawyers, non-profit ‘activists’, ‘educators’, and harridans-with-signs. It’s like being mad at the scorpion.

    …and, as per usual, Democrats wage lawfare against their enemies.
    “California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday unveiled plans to offer state incentives to EV buyers if US President-elect Donald Trump repeals a federal subsidy after he takes office next year. Newsom, a prominent Democrat who has fashioned himself a climate leader, said in a statement that a program California phased out in 2023 could be rebooted to provide car buyers relief in lieu of a $7,500 tax credit targeted by Trump.
    The governor’s office told Bloomberg News that the current proposal includes market-share limitations that would exclude Tesla’s popular EV models. The details will be under negotiation with the state legislature and could change.”
