Charlie is dead

How is that caused by Trump?

It’s not, just the sad state of affairs we are in as a nation. I don’t expect Trump to fix everything overnight. I just don’t see anything getting better yet or looking like it will, feels like we stuck in limbo….

There is a lot of this going on lately.

Ask yourself why? There's a vocal minority on the left the Dems have to pander to. When Obama was in office I didn't like what he was doing, but I didn't bitch and whine or riot. Trump is dealing with toddlers at this point. Barron his youngest is 19. You forget how difficult it is to deal with people that act like toddlers. This includes congress critters.

At some point the toddlers need to be slapped. Might take some time to see change. They're still in the hissy fit stage of Trump winning again and with the popular vote. Also, do you want one human to be able to just change everything? There's a process and unfortunately ours is slow. I know you've been here a while FW, and know who TD was. How long did the murder trial take? Years. Trump may be putting stuff in motion that cannot be reconciled until he's out of office.

Effort is being made. What did Biden do during his term? This is far better. You can't win everything out the gate. Takes time.

Some expect 30-50 years of BS to be reversed in 9 months with a hairsbreadth majority in the House and an even Senate (accounting for weak RINOs Collins and Murkowski)

Through the years, Democrats (and Republicans) have been perhaps over-generous in their slap-happy use of the term, “war.” War on Drugs, War on Crime, War on Obesity, War on Terror, you name it, right now there’s an endless war raging against whatever social evil you can think of; albeit all of them are more accurately described as wars on our pocketbooks, rather than on the elusive enemies themselves.

President Trump appears to be taking that concept more literally.

On September 15th, U.S. Special Operations Forces sank a small boat in the Caribbean, killing all three people aboard and blowing up a shipment of strange white powder. Fortunately, it was later confirmed that Hunter Biden was not aboard. He was at a different crack party. But I digress.

This week, the military celebrated ‘Sinko de Mayo’ by retiring another crack cruiser and its 11 sailors. (h/t Jimmy Failla.) Right after, the Trump administration delivered a formal notice of hostile action to Congress, which is legally required whenever US forces are engaged in armed conflict.

Trump’s notice called the cartels’ sunken sailors “unlawful combatants” —a War on Terror term— who were “affiliated with a designated terrorist organization engaged in trafficking illicit drugs.” ...

In Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (2006), SCOTUS found that the “war on terror” against Al Qaeda was a “real war” for constitutional purposes. That ruling allowed treating Al Qaeda terrorists as enemy combatants who were not entitled to court hearings or traditional due process, and could be tried by military tribunals under the Geneva Convention. ...

You can understand why China might consider a fentanyl war against the American Empire to be fair play. What’s good for the goose, and so on. A certain historical irony. The point is, modern scholars —both Western and Chinese— overwhelmingly characterize the Opium Wars as unjust wars of aggression that undermined China’s sovereignty.

The Administration’s unspoken argument, formed from its various acts and notices, executive orders, and hearings held by various Congressional committees, is that China is waging a plausibly deniable Opium Proxy War against the United States, by and through the Maduro regime in Venezuela and the cartels in Mexico. I’m not the only one who’s made the historical comparison. A scholarly article from NDU/PRISM, 2019:

The New Opium War:
A National Emergency
By Celina B. Realuyo

So when corporate media’s ‘legal experts’ argue that drugs are only a law enforcement issue, and not a military matter, they are intentionally ignoring well-established and uncontroversial war history. Drugs can absolutely be weapons of war. Pretending otherwise is either historically illiterate or intentionally evasive.

As I said yesterday, the drugs issue is only part of the Venezuelan problem. It’s a real part, a modern Opium War, but the other part is the Proxy: Maduro’s cozying up to the Chinese— plumb spang in America’s backyard. One way or another, that kind of thing has to stop before it gets out of hand. Before you know it, China will have a giant military base looming over Corpus Christi like a giant Spongebob bent on revenge, and a brand-new naval port squatting on the Gulf of America.

President Trump has evidently decided to pull the plug on both China’s Opium Proxy War and any Chinese military bases in the American hemisphere. You’ll recall that in April (which now seems a lifetime ago), Pete Hegseth pushed China out of the Panama Canal. Trump also first tried to tackle the problem through tariffs —remember the early trade talks about fentanyl with Canada, Mexico, and China?— but he couldn’t pin Beijing down, and the crackheaded whack-a-mole shifted to Venezuela.

Behold, the next step.

Delayed September report shows U.S. economy added 119,000 jobs, blowing past expectations

On Nov 20, 2025, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released a delayed September report showing U.S. employers added 119,000 jobs while the unemployment rate rose to 4.4%.

The government shutdown delayed publication nearly seven weeks and the Labor Department canceled a standalone October report, folding some data into November's release.

Revisions show July and August payrolls trimmed by 33,000 jobs, with September gains led by health care and bars and restaurants , while transportation and warehousing lost 25,000 and federal government payrolls dropped 3,000.

Shrubbie looking very unhappy and uncomfortable at Cheney's funeral. Good.

American flag over Cheney's coffin was exchanged for a 'Catholic' flag, another unprecedented flag comm. Shrubbie's father had the wrinkled flag as the Scherff Globalist infiltrator and was alleged to have been executed.

So, was Cheney Knights of Malta (Jesuilt fifth vow) serving the same? Maybe somebody on the internet will reveal the 'coffin code'.

Body double aficionados will have a field day trying to see who are avatars and not the originals. Biden Actor and "Jill" are gimmes.

The Fourth Reich wants back in. Guaranteed WWIII for the tunnel reptiles.
