World War III Watch: Warmongers gotta warmonger!

Like so many of the neoconservatives, former Ambassador John Bolton loves seeing the rivers of blood flow. He tweeted, on Wednesday, February 12th:

It is unconscionable to allow Russia to assault Ukraine’s sovereignty, recruit enemies like North Korea to aid in their fight, and then sell out the Ukrainians by conceding the loss of their territory and NATO security guarantees or membership. By making these and others concessions before negotiations even started, Trump has effectively surrendered to Putin on Ukraine. 1/3 Continue reading

The left are aghast that President Trump is keeping his campaign promises They don't like the results of the people's democratic choice

I cannot truthfully say that I have noticed everything that the newspaper I sometimes call The Philadelphia Enquirer[1]RedState writer Mike Miller called it the Enquirer, probably by mistake, so I didn’t originate it, but, reminiscent of the National Enquirer as it is, I thought it very apt. has published on immigration, but I can truthfully state that if our nation’s third oldest continuously published daily newspaper, the winner of twenty Pulitzer Prizes, the newspaper of record for the six million plus metropolitan area, and the first newspaper I check in the morning, has ever published anything trying to help illegal immigrants get legal, I have missed it.

Instead, the newspaper has spent the last few years doing everything it could to paint Donald Trump as an irredeemable fascist and wannabe authoritarian dictator. Columnists like Helen Ubiñas and Will Bunch have hammered continually on Mr Trump, Mr Bunch especially consumed by #TrumpDerangementSyndrome, and we noted how he, a journolist[2]The spelling ‘journolist’ or ‘journolism’ comes from JournoList, an email list of 400 influential and politically liberal journalists, the exposure of which called into question their … Continue reading who claims to support freedom of speech and of the press — hint: he really doesn’t — launched a tirade against MSNBC’s (supposed) journalists, Joe and Mike Scarborough for having gone to Mar-a-Lago and meeting with former and then-future President Trump, and conflated the President trying to keep his promise to the voters to the Nazis sending Jews to the gas chambers. The Inquirer itself reported that three percent of the residents in the city are illegal immigrants! Continue reading

Canada intercepts people trying to cross border in ‘incredibly cold’ conditions

Nine Venezuelans including children found by police in Alberta with a second group apprehended in Manitoba

by Leyland Cecco | Friday, February 7, 2025 | 6:30 AM EST

More than a dozen people have been caught making the hazardous crossing into Canada, renewing focus on the closely watched – and seasonally perilous – border with the United States.

Police in Alberta this week intercepted two groups attempting to cross into Canada illegally, including one which included five children who were ill-prepared for the cold which can plunge as low as -30C (-22F) at this time of year. Continue reading

Former Penn women’s swim team members are finally speaking out Told to "STFU" when the Democrats held power, now they can shed anonymity to tell the truth!

This site has fairly thoroughly documented the case of Will Thomas, the former male swimmer for the University of Pennsylvania, who then decided that no, he wasn’t a man guy, but a woman. With the suspension of so much of life due to the COVID-19 panicdemic — not a typographical error, but spelled exactly the way it should be — Mr Thomas had a year off to ‘transition’ into a woman, through testosterone suppressants and female hormone supplements, though he hadn’t been castrated had any ‘gender reassignment surgery’ at the time.

Had the story ended there, Mr Thomas, now calling himself “Lia,” nobody other than his friends would have noticed or cared. But nope, the story didn’t end there: Mr Thomas decided that he wanted to compete on Penn’s women’s swim team, and the University, which does have biology courses, professors, and even its own medical school, allowed it. As we previously noted, some of the real women on the swim team were unhappy with this, but the team members had been ‘strongly advised’ to say nothing to the press, and only a couple of team members did speak to the media, under the condition of anonymity.

Why anonymity? The first swimmer to speak out said that she feared for her ability to find employment after being graduated from college for sharing her opinion about a transgender teammate, a fear the University pushed.

That was late 2021, and Joe Biden was just beginning his term in office. The Democrats controlled both Houses of Congress, and the silliness that girls could be boys and boys could be girls was politically ascendant, even if the fans in the stands didn’t see it that way.

It seems the American people didn’t see it that way, either. Donald Trump and Republican candidates raised the issue of fairness to women, and the American people responded by electing Mr Trump, and giving the Republicans an additional four seats, and the majority, in the Senate. British writer J K Rowling, herself very politically on just about every other issue, sent out the tweet shown above as President Trump was signing an Executive Order to try to keep males out of women’s sports.

Credit where credit is due!

I had never heard of Olivia Julianna before Thursday morning, when I saw this tweet from “Bad Hombre.” Naturally, there were many, many responses along the lines that a hunger strike would do her a lot of good.

But, good decent researcher that I am, I decided to look a bit more deeply, and Google searched her, finding her Twitter account. I wanted to see if she had actually declared a hunger strike until USAID is restored. An admittedly cursory look didn’t find anything like that for her, though she does have other social media channels I did not see.

But I did find this from Miss Julianna, in which she tweeted:

I’m actually down 50 pounds because I can’t afford to eat in Trump’s economy 🙁

That’s pretty amazing! The Trump economy caused her to lose 50 pounds! And, given that Donald Trump had been President for only 16 days when she tweeted that, on February 5th, that’s pretty amazing. Way more effective than Ozempic. Continue reading

Too old? Our 78-year-old President is getting things done, and done in a hurry.

The money line was actually the last paragraph:

Unlike Trump 1.0, when bureaucrats frequently ignored the administration and stymied its agenda, this time around, the lesson has been learned. Resistance is being met with immediate action. Gottlieb may very well hit the leftist podcast circuit, dining out on his reputation as a “martyr” and “truth teller,” but the lesson will not be lost on other people who aren’t anxious to follow that path.

It seems that the current Trump Administration isn’t taking disobedience by subordinates laying down, but by laying down the law: toe the line, or hit the road.

The Resistance Attempts a Coup at USAID and It Doesn’t Go Well

President Trump finally catches up to what we’ve been saying for years Gaza should be emptied out and cleaned up, the President said. I agree, but cleaned up by the Israelis, and settled by them.

I have been saying for years now that the Israelis should have expelled every last ‘Palestinian’ from Judea, Samaria, and Gaza following the 1967 conquest of the territory. It would have been a humanitarian disaster, but it would have been over 57½ years ago, leaving the Arabs with a chance to build their lives again without being under Israeli occupation, and Israel with shortened, more defensible borders.

Now it seems that President Donald Trump has caught up with me! From The Wall Street Journal: Continue reading

President Trump cancels the left’s electric vehicle policies

I have always held that if someone wants to buy a plug-in electric vehicle, if he can afford one, he has every right to do so. Alas, Our Betters in the former Biden Administration — and I do so love referring to it as the former Biden Administration! — thought that no, it ought not to be a matter of personal choice or preference, but that people should eventually be required to buy a plug-in electric vehicle. Our American left are pro-choice on exactly one thing.

Trump ended the EV mandate. Here’s what it means for the auto industry.

The transition to electric vehicles is a years-long process that is already underway and faces fierce competition from abroad.

Three percent of Philadelphians are in the country illegally So, why didn't that 'sanctuary city' do something to 'regularize' their presence in the US while Joe Biden was in office?

“The population of foul, fetid, fuming, foggy, filthy Philadelphia was 1,603,797 according to the 2020 census, yet the July 1,2023 guesstimate was 1,550,542, a 3.32% loss in residents. Now, The Philadelphia Inquirer is telling us that 47,000 people in the City of Brotherly Love are in the United States illegally, which works out to 3.03% of the population. That’s not a small issue.

Immigration advocates brace for Trump’s Day 1 deportation orders that could target 47,000 in Philadelphia

President-elect Donald Trump has promised mass deportations. That could include thousands of people living in Philadelphia.
