Yesterday was still warm. We were up and out early to beat the heat.
The park's grass is browning out, too. We had our good grass season, it's over now.
This afternoon Senator Padilla (D-Ca) was in the room where DHS Secretary and Puppy Killer Kristi Noem was speaking. After identifying himself, the Senator wanted to ask a question. Instead, he was man handled out of the room, put on the floor and handcuffed. A sitting senator was treated like this.
The administration is planning to send detainees to Gitmo. What's really shocking is who they're sending. This is from the WAPO article.
The administration is unlikely to inform the foreigners’ home governments about the impending transfers to the infamous military facility, including close U.S. allies such as Britain, Germany and France, the officials said.
I find this to be spectacularly shocking. They're just going to disappear Brits and other allies. Way to exercise soft power.
Charlie Angus, Canadian MP, gets a lot of face time on Twitter. He's an effective speaker. He had this to say:
Canada can no longer view the United States as an ally. We know that Donald Trump doesn’t believe in liberal democracy—he doesn’t believe in the rule of law.
Prime Minister Carney is not welcoming the leader of the free world to Canada.
He is welcoming Vladimir Putin’s sock puppet.
This was yesterday's press conference. I think, maybe today. Anyway, 47 is now walking back deporting the agricultural workers, hospitality workers, and etc.
Fox reporter Doocy: “What made you change your mind about targeting in California, farmers and people in the hotels and leisure business?”
Trump: “Our farmers are being hurt badly. They have very good workers…They’re not citizens, but they’ve turned out to be great. And we’re going to have to do something about that.”
This translates to the big donors are having a cow and have been calling 47 to tell him to knock this shit off.
Les Mis played at the Kennedy Center last night. He was righteously booed, and there were drag queens. I love that for him.
I'm really not a conspiracy theorist, despite what I am about to say. The 2024 election was stolen. In the seven swing states 47 won, democrats won down ballot. This is statistically a never event. He also barely won by a margin that did not trigger a recount. How could this be? This is how.
Update 7/12/25: The case is proceeding through the courts.
A lawsuit is making its way through the courts. Unfortunately, even if the case is proven, we're still stuck with him. Anyway, read the first linked article. It's not that long, it's not full of IT jargon, and it clearly explains how voting tabulators that were not on the internet were interfered with. Oddly enough, mainstream media is not giving this much, if any attention. It barely surfaces on twitter. One would think this might be a bigger story.
Update 8/16/2025. A recap of the New York case. Update 5/21/26. Case thrown out due to a "lack of standing."
Update 8/20/2025: More on the NSA forensic audit.
Update on 10/5/2025: Hand counts in previously machine-counted districts displayed a strong pattern: as turnout rose, Republican vote share increased disproportionately while Democratic vote share dropped. This is recognized internationally as an “election integrity red flag.” More is found here.
Update on 11/24/2025: Vanishing votes for Harris.
Update on June 1, 2026. It appears that the midterms will be stolen the same way the last election was. Read here.
Here is my humor for the day.
