Preventing war much better than "winning" war!-----What Chinese pressure on Taiwan means for the US

Federal Judge Lets Trump Block Funding of Lawyers for Migrants
Federal Judge Lets Trump Block Funding of Lawyers for Migrants:
A federal judge has reversed a lower court judge’s decision to force the government to continue supplying illegal migrants with taxpayer-funded lawyers.
Biden-appointed U.S. District Judge Araceli Martinez Olguin had earlier ruled in Oakland, California, that President Donald Trump was not allowed to stop taxpayer funding for progressive groups that provided legal advice to illegal aliens facing deportation.
Remember! The grants END if there's no catastrophe!-----From CO2 to Social Justice: The Guardian’s Climate Gospel Goes Full Cult Charles Rotter
A new revelation from the high temple of emotional climatology: climate change is no longer about physics, but “a crisis of justice.” 
Yes, really. The headline of Friederike Otto’s latest opus in The Guardian shrieks like an undergraduate activist with a bullhorn: “Climate change is not just a problem of physics but a crisis of justice.”
Because when your models don’t model reality, and your predictions flop harder than a tofu burger at a Texas BBQ, simply pivot the narrative—from science to sociology...
The opening line is a tour de force in climate sanctimony:
The opening line is a tour de force in climate sanctimony:
“My research as a climate scientist is in attribution science. Together with my team, I analyse extreme weather events and answer the questions of whether, and to what extent, human-induced climate change has altered their frequency, intensity and duration.In other words, Otto is in the business of telling us that every flood, drought, or oddly warm Tuesday is your SUV’s fault.
Attribution science, for the uninitiated, is the art of retroactively blaming the atmosphere’s every sneeze on Western industry, by way of probabilistic hand-waving wrapped in opaque jargon.
- What used to be called weather is now “anthropogenic signal detection.”...
Your media-of-choice hyperventilating over this ??!!-----Damning UCLA New Report Reveals the Biden Administration’s Unlawful Treatment of Children in Immigration Courts
Data show that tens of thousands of children have been ordered deported, most without legal representation or a fair day in court - Hayley Burgess, UCLA Center for Immigration Law and Policy, burgess@law.ucla.eduLos Angeles, CA – A damning new report released today by the Center for Immigration Law and Policy (CILP) at the UCLA School of Law finds that the Biden administration has failed children in immigration court under its watch.
The report’s key findings include:
The report’s key findings include:
- In a five-month period in FY 2022 alone, almost one third of immigration court cases initiated by the Biden administration–more than 80,000 in all–were against children, over 30,000 of whom were under the age of 5, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC).
- Studies show that unrepresented unaccompanied children are at least five times more likely to be ordered removed than children with access to counsel...
- The vast majority of removal orders entered against children are for failure to appear: Approximately 72% of removal orders against families on the Los Angeles and Boston Dedicated Dockets were issued in absentia, with over 48% against children, many under the age of six. Worse yet, 86% of removal orders issued against unaccompanied children were for failure to appear...
Latest news from the Seattle-area crime-ridden garbage dump
Yes, things around here do seem to be deteriorating.
Just when you think things can’t be any worse, they get worse, especially for local law-abiding citizens.
- Man sentenced for hate-crime targeting Asians. We do seem to have more of our share of home-invasion robberies in our area...
- City clears homeless camp in Seattle’s Kinnear Park, but tents return within days. Kinnear Park is at the top of Queen Anne Hill, and the view from there is often used in advertisements for Seattle...
- Man and woman arrested in Lake Stevens child-exploitation case involving four-year-old child.
- Second teenage suspect arrested in Pierce County mass-shooting case. Gang activity at house party leads to shootings. This is quite common in this area.

Well, so have we!
This list of crimes is just the first page of the KOMO Web site.
Just think about all the crimes that didn’t make this page.
Property crimes aren’t even reported much anymore...
Aside from lib's self-induced misery, what actions enacted under Trump's 3 month administration actually have made America and Americans worse off?
Aside from lib's self-induced misery, what actions enacted under Trump's 3 month administration actually have made America and Americans worse off?
- Secure border reduces crime in American neighborhoods, reduces need for budget-busting local government spending. And more.
- DOGE is exposing the massive government fraud/debt and over-spending for the first time.
- Sending back illegal aliens reduces the incentive to illegally to enter US.
- Tariff efforts address, for the first time, the unfair tariffs other countries have imposed on American businesses and consumers.

- Public school education scores collapsed
- Inflation roared
- International wars began
- Home and business energy costs exploded
- Tillions of government money disappeared

- And more!
So libs, you were quiet under Biden.

School District Bans Virginia State Flag
School District Bans Virginia State Flag:
A Texas school district has banned the Virginia state flag from some elementary classrooms due to its depiction of a bare-breasted Roman goddess, according to a report. The decision has sparked debate over censorship and age-appropriate content.

The democrat party is a sick political enemy of America.-----Dem Rep. Jamie Raskin threatens countries that support Trump
‘When we come back to power … we are not going to look kindly’ - Ryan KingRep. Jamie Raskin threatened foreign leaders who “facilitated authoritarianism in our country” by currying favor with President Trump on issues like deportation — saying that Democrats will not “look kindly” on his supporters when they “come back to power.”
Referencing El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele specifically, Raskin (D-Md.), 62, suggested that Dems should keep score of foreign leaders who brownnose Trump, 78, during his second term.
“Implicit in it should be the idea that if and when we come back to power — and we will — we are not going to look kindly upon people who … facilitated authoritarianism in our country,” Raskin told “Pod Save America” host Tommy Vietor in an episode that dropped Saturday...

White House unleashes confirmation feds lied to Americans about COVID * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
White House unleashes confirmation feds lied to Americans about COVID * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh:
"The Biden Administration's HHS engaged in a multi-year campaign of delay, confusion, and non-responsiveness in an attempt to obstruct the Select Subcommittee's investigation and hide evidence that could incriminate or embarrass senior public health officials. It appears that HHS even intentionally under-resourced its component that responds to legislative oversight requests," the White House page charges.
Also, "Daszak obstructed the Select Subcommittee's investigation by providing publicly available information, instructing his staff to reduce the scope and pace of productions, and doctoring documents before releasing them to the public. Further, Dr. Daszak provided false statements to Congress."
'You Could Prosecute Thousands': Peter Thiel Explains How DOGE Is Exposing 'Left-Wing NGOs' | ZeroHedge
Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel detailed that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) exposed rampant federal spending tied to certain left-leaning NGOs, which he described as potential fronts for "borderline criminal activity."
Thiel, founding partner of the venture capital firm Founders Fund, made the explosive claims during an interview with his Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale.

- “I think there were scams. I think the nonprofit stuff is out of control.
- It’s sort of like virtue signaling is a sign that you’re doing something evil,” Thiel told Lonsdale on his American Optimist podcast.
- “So much of this left-wing philanthropy nonprofit world was just a cover for borderline criminal activity."
Is Climate Change Real? Short Answer: Yes — But It’s Complicated.- Anthony Watts
The Earth’s climate has been changing for billions of years.
1. The Basics: Climate Does Change
First, let’s be clear — climate change is real in the literal sense.
1. The Basics: Climate Does Change
First, let’s be clear — climate change is real in the literal sense.
The Earth’s climate has been changing for billions of years.
We have geological records showing periods that were much warmer (like the Eocene, with crocodiles in the Arctic), and much colder (like the Ice Ages that covered North America in glaciers).
Even more recently, we have the Holocene Climate Optimum, significantly warmer than present day:
2. What the “Consensus” Says — and Where It Falls Short
The mainstream position (IPCC, NOAA, NASA, etc.) holds that recent warming — roughly 1.1°C since the late 1800s — is largely due to increased CO₂ from human activity, mainly fossil fuels.
But here’s the rub: this view is heavily dependent on climate models, which are notoriously uncertain...

Fauci's first year of 'retirement' was a moneymaking bonanza * WorldNetDaily * by Emily Kopp, Daily Caller News Foundation
Fauci's first year of 'retirement' was a moneymaking bonanza * WorldNetDaily * by Emily Kopp, Daily Caller News Foundation:
Fauci's net worth roughly doubled from $7.6 million the year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic in January 2019 to $15 million in 2023. Fauci also received taxpayer-funded transportation and security detail via the U.S. Marshals Service as a private citizen in 2023.
"Dr. Fauci's assets soared during the worst of the draconian Covid lockdowns while families and small businesses struggled through school closures and lost income. Now it's clear the cash kept coming during his first year of 'retirement,'" said Open The Books CEO John Hart. "He was rubbing elbows with groups like AHIP flanked by taxpayer-funded security — even as his wife remained the top bioethicist at NIH."
So many of the positions, memes and narratives the Democrats are spouting in public and social media are not only unrelated, they are stupid propaganda and dangerous agitprop.
Michael Smith - Analogies are not analogies with the things being... | Facebook - Michael Smith
- - For reasons obvious to any thinking person, the image of Jews being loaded on a train headed for concentration/extermination camps is NOT the same as the image of illegal aliens being put on a plane by ICE to be returned to their home country.
- - No, nobody is "coming for you" because you didn't speak our until it is too late. You are NOT the subject of Martin Niemöller's speech. You are not next to be "snatched" off the street to be deported - unless you are not a citizen who broke the law to come here - and even if you are, you will get due process.
- - No, you are not going to be jailed for opposing the Trump administration, telling a joke about him, singing a protest song, or protesting in the street against any of the policies of this administration.
It is a epidemic of self-righteousness so overwhelmingly contagious, it spreads rapidly...
