Everyone loves a good parade!
From the Gateway Pundit:
“José Andrés [fired by President Trump today] is the same individual who was photographed with Ryan Wesley Routh—Donald Trump’s would-be assassin—and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom earlier this month [by President Biden].
According to reports, the photo was taken in Kiev a while back when Ryan Wesley Routh was a prominent figure in Ukraine’s capital for his habit of displaying American flags in Maidan Square”
It boggles the mind.
Trump? or Oliver Cromwell?
It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place,
which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.
Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?
Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord's temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.
Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God's help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
H/T to Alexander Mercouris for this one.
I know I have been called a liar and a Putin stooge for my take on Ukraine, but now Time magazine has interviewed one of Biden's advisors, and son of a gun, it turns out that the point of view I have been putting up here has been right all along: https://time.com/7207661/bidens-ukraine-win-zelensky-loss/
We used Ukraine for our own ends, spent their blood like water, and the whole war was about NATO expansion.
Leonard Peltier was convicted on two counts of first degree murder of two FBI agents. The Biden administration has commuted his two life sentences and he will be released from prison on February 18, 2025. I think it likely that while he is at large Mr. Peltier will meet with an accident.

That's stolen joy going on in Japan there, stolen joy. Trump doesn't bring joy, he steals it from the Democrats, so that there joy is stolen.
Just saw a picture of the 1st lady in her inaugural ball gown. Wow, stunning. If Trump was a Democrat we'd never hear the end of the press raving about what great fashion she had, how classy she is, etc.
Tonight I will shed a (fake) tear for the poor federal workers who actually have to show up for work next week.
@Peachy, both attempts are very suspicious.
@Jaq, Cromwell, of course.
After his announcement of $500 Billion stargate project, Trump took question and of course none of the Press Corps jackasses were interested in the project. Instead they asked him about all the topics they want to discuss. Poor illegals, what about the injured police on J6, etc. One reporter lied and said 450 J6ers had assaulted the police. Achually, 450 were convicted of "resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, impeding a police officer, or obstructing a police officer". How many actually attacked a CHP is unclear. Only 15 were hospitalized on J6.
Trump needs to handle the press differently this term. They've shown they have zero desire to inform the american public and don't care about "speaking truth to power". They were perfectly happy talking to Biden once a month and giving him pre-screened written questions. Trump should be quite ruthless and rude to them. They don't deserve any better.
The vibe is the same, if the language differs.
Peachy:
Routh is the second guy, the one arrested in the bushes at Mar a Lago. He's still alive. You're thinking of the first guy, who shot him in the ear. He's the one who's dead.

They really don’t matter anymore. We don’t need no stinking press telling us what a great man President Trump is or how stylish his lady is. We see it with our own eyes. With minimal publicity, Melania’s book has stayed on the top of Amazon’s best seller list for 3 months. Now it’s in the top 10 again.
You know how the socials are all in a dither? over Elon Musk gesturing his heart out.
Internet: "The phrase "his heart out" means to the maximum possible degree; as intensely as possible."
If what Elon's gesture did not mean 'sending his heart out', what is the gesture for 'sending your heart out'? I really need to know this.
I would argue that for a man sending that many rockets into space, that gesture should, indeed must, come naturally to him.
I concur, wholeheartedly.
Weevil - Ok thanks. Most of what I said is still true. Just the wrong name.
Indeed.
I still say with confidence that the first assassin Blackrock Ad guy - Thomas Matthew Crooks - (not Routh) - was a paid patsy. After the paid patsy failed at murdering Trump - they took him out and burned his corpse immediately. also - total media blackout on Blackrock ad Crooks. What a perfect name for a for hire killer. *fixed*
Corruption bleeds in many directions.
More new fires in Southern California.
Sister just sent me a picture of snow on the ground, in Panama City, FL!
DC Metro Police are refusing to release pardoned January 6 arrestees:
Here at DC Jail: all but perhaps two January 6 defendants are still locked up, and an MPD officer now tells their supporters outside that nobody else will be freed tonight from this facility despite Trump’s pardon order saying to let them out “immediately.”

YouTube: “imagine finding out the guy you took medical advice from got a preemptive presidential pardon…”
The New Soviet Democraticals take a brief timeout from allowing in hundreds of thousands of murderers and rapists and child traffickers while Soros DA's choose not to prosecute thousands of violent criminals while downgrading other violent criminal offenses to lower offenses and misdemeanors to complain about Trump pardoning Jan 6 folks.
Discuss.

The fire truck pulled up to a checkpoint Saturday morning near where emergency workers were sifting through the wreckage caused by the Palisades fire.
The driver told the National Guard troops manning the perimeter that he was a volunteer firefighter, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the incident told The Times.
They had little reason to believe otherwise, said the official, who wasn’t authorized to speak with the media and requested anonymity. The man was wearing a yellow firefighter uniform — and he was driving a full-size red fire engine outfitted with emergency lights, California license plates and an American flag.
But a firefighter at the checkpoint noticed something off about the decals on the truck, which had markings from the “Roaring River Fire Department,” the official said. He told Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies to check the man’s ID.
According to the law enforcement official, the man presented an Oregon driver’s license with the name of Dustin Nehl. A search of Nehl’s criminal history revealed he had served five years in prison for arson, the official said.
In 2017, KATU, a Portland TV station, reported that Nehl pleaded guilty to setting a series of fires at a golf course, a park and a water facility in Woodburn, Ore., a city about 30 miles south of Portland.""
Not mentioned in the LATimes article, but on the Instapundit post today at 1:22pm where I found the link, is that the perp is a "climate activist."
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for them to show up if I were you.
The inaugural dance
The first lady dances with the first gentleman. The second lady dances with the second gentleman. The ladies look beautiful, the gentlemen look handsome. Usha has an enrapturing smile. Melania is beaming.
@MadTownGuy, yeah, I commented as much in Althouse's J6 pardons thread. IMHO Trump needs to order that everybody who works at the jail be indicted on a federal charge of kidnapping.
According to the Koyukon Athabaskans they have called Mt. McKinley by the name Denali for over 2000 years. I, for one, would like to see their written documentation of that...
That and some genetic proof that they, indeed, are the descendants of the people who lived there 2000 years ago. I recall some kerfluffle a few years back where a tribe was fighting furiously to prevent DNA testing of an ancient corpse that had been dug up, a corpse of a revered ancestor. And courts, finally and sanely, allowed the tests to proceed, showing the ancient and revered ancestor of theirs had zero relationship to the tribe presently living in the area...
And on naming, I also recall reading within the last year or two, of a hill in Britain. That when translated from the original language to the second dominant language in the area, to today, is called Hill Hill Hill. First set of conquerors asked "What is that hill over there called?" and the natives said "Hill" in their language, which was phonetically translated and it became "Hill Hill". And the same scenario played out again, and it became Hill Hill Hill....
I was talking to our county historian one time. Our county has a few hundred (maybe >1000) lakes. Only one has a recognized name. The rest simply have no names, local, recent, or known ancient name. They're simply there, ready for naming by any opportunistic cartographer. Most of the rivers, creeks, and streams are in the same unnamed situation. And only one swamp is named, though it now no longer a swamp, but a federally protected wetland.
