Slow news day today? Or rather seems that nobody wants to talk about:

The fall of Ukraine. Corrupt Zelensky staffers fleeing to Israel leaving golden toilets behind. Ukrainian media calling for the resignation of the regime. Zelensky's approval falling below 20%.

Millions of native born Americans getting jobs while illegals are being cut. For the first time in decades native born Americans took more jobs than immigrants.

Massive increases in workforce participation.

Epstein being a democrat.

“President Donald Trump demanded the arrest and trial of several "seditious" Democratic lawmakers over a video in which they appealed directly to serving military and intelligence personnel to "refuse illegal orders"—and said their actions were "punishable by DEATH!" He also shared a social media post calling to "hang" the Democrats.”

"It’s called SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL," the Republican president said in a Thursday morning post on his Truth Social platform. "Each one of these traitors to our Country should be ARRESTED AND PUT ON TRIAL. Their words cannot be allowed to stand - We won’t have a Country anymore!!! An example MUST BE SET."

Noted GOPers showing their last respects- George W Bush, Snake Pence, and Mitch "I fall down" McConnell. And naturally, scumbag de tutti scumbags Creepy Joe Biden was there moving with the shuffle of an elderly Alzheimers patient much older than his 80+ years.

I mean, the legacy MSM is out with the headline proclaiming that 'All Four Former Vice Presidents' were attending. Obama and Michelle, 'no', Bill and Hillary, 'no'. Equally important, the announcement that Trump and Vance were not invited: It's in every story. The way it was written reminded me of the fan convention scenes from 'Galaxy Quest'. Some things never change.

Gospace ayon kay ...

It's funny how no one believes the Democrat politicians were telling servicemembers to disobey ONLY lawful orders, but simply any the Democrats disagree with.

Every servicemember knows they can disobey unlawful orders- and the burden is on them to prove them unlawful. It's a tough row to hoe. If someone high ranking in government is telling them to disobey unlawful orders- it's a call to disobey orders, period. The politicians are hiding behind a fig leaf. It's not hiding much.

Jaq ayon kay ...

Since the course of that war has been decided, and no amount of hectoring from the peanut gallery was going to change anything, I dropped talking about it, but it does seem like sh...tufff is happening. According to Axios, Trump is asking Putin if he would mind signing a lease for Donbas, since it has apparently all but fallen under his control. It looks to me like the points in Trump's 28 point peace plan, are likely non starters, either with Russia, or with Ukraine. For instance, Putin is demanding that Russian, a language widely spoken by Ukrainians, be recognized as an official language there, like French in Canada. Zelensky will never agree to this, ever.

I don't see any prospect of a peace deal out of these points, but I could be wrong, maybe Trump will pull it out, but it looks like a lot of wish casting to me.

This is likely significant though https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2025-11-20/trumps-ukraine-envoy-keith-kellogg-expected-to-leave-his-post-as-new-peace-plan-emerges

Kakistocracy ayon kay ...

Trump is what he is: an increasingly demented mess of personality disorders who blurts out whatever angry, foolish thought enters his head—and he is the so-called “leader of the free world.” Yet many politicians who swore an oath to defend the Constitution will dutifully repeat his lawless nonsense.

And there will always be someone—some Ilan Wurman, some Jonathan Turley, some John Eastman—eager to slather an oily veneer of legal legitimacy over the president’s lawless threats. Why? For proximity to power. For prestige. For attention.

Works out great for Trump and Vance, I'd say. I don't know why they would want to go anyway. If they had been invited and didn't show, the Democrats would go nuts (I know, I know- how could you tell the difference from how they usually act?), but this gives them a reason to not be there, while still being respectful of the decision to exclude them.

The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) provides a legal framework for distinguishing between lawful and illegal orders. Article 92 of the UCMJ states that service members must obey lawful orders, and failure to obey a lawful order can lead to serious punishment, including court-martial. However, if an order is manifestly illegal, service members have a legal duty to refuse it. This principle is reinforced by the UCMJ's definition of lawful orders, which must serve a valid military purpose, be clear and specific, and not conflict with statute or the Constitution. The duty to obey lawful orders is complemented by the right to refuse illegal orders, particularly those that require commission of a clear criminal act.
"The threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders," they say in the video. "No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution."
Trump and his administration condemned their message, contending the Democrats were encouraging members of the military to disobey their oath of enlistment.

Trump="This is really bad, and Dangerous to our Country. Their words cannot be allowed to stand. SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR FROM TRAITORS!!! LOCK THEM UP???" Trump wrote on his social media platform Thursday morning.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters later in her weekly media briefing, "The president expects his Cabinet officials in the administration to follow the law and to demand accountability and hold people accountable for their dangerous rhetoric."
Federal law, however, does not permit members of the military to break the law, even if they were commanded by a superior officer, from the commander-in-chief down the chain of command.
The oath of enlistment, sworn by everyone who joins the military, states they "will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations AND the Uniform Code of Military Justice."
The UCMJ contains several provisions and articles that stipulate that service men and women are liable for a wide variety of rules and regulations, regardless of whether they were ordered by a superior officer. That includes burglary, murder, assault, rape and property destruction.
You notice what WORD was left out from the REDS responses? ILLEGAL ORDERS that's know as gaslighting with Lies. Of course this administration has already been found guilty of issuing ILLEGAL ORDERS (JUST TODAY)
Anyone who has ever served in the Military of this great country already knows this, its the talking heads and flat out liars who spin and remain clueless when they hear the rhetoric being spread. WTF.. IT IS A SHAME SOMETHING LIKE THIS HAS TO BE EXPLAINED TO THE POPULATION in this time of murder brought on by peoples statements that others listen to. BE ashamed if YOU are doing the crap trick leaving out the WORD "ILLEGAL" and falling for the CON by the DON. beaucoup dinky dau :(

The Hanging
A cowboy rides into town one day and drops into the saloon for a drink. He looks around the bar and says to the bartender “This place is empty today, where is everybody?”.

The barman tells the cowboy “Everyone’s at the hanging’”.

“A hanging” huh?” says the cowboy. “Who they hanging?”

The barman says “They’re hanging Brown Paper Pete”.

“Brown Paper Pete, I never heard of the feller” says the cowboy. “That’s a funny name, why’s he called that?”

The barman tells the cowboy “Because he wears a brown paper hat, a brown paper shirt, brown paper pants, and brown paper shoes”.

“Huh” said the cowboy, still trying to make sense of things, “what they hanging him for?”

The barman says, “Rustling”.

You are just too cowardly to say out loud you are glad Kirk is dead and you are mad you failed to kill Trump.

Yes, Dinky Dau, every military member understands they may disobey an unlawful order- and that they must prove the order unlawful

And every military member I know, retired like me, active duty like my son, understands the Democrats were calling for servicemembers to disobey orders the Democrats don't like.

If the Democrat elected officials think Trump or anyone in the military is issuing illegal orders, they are morally bound, but not legally bound, to identify them. Seems judges are having a really hard time doing so as the Supreme Court is overruling activist judges applying feelings instead of laws to their judgements.

Let's take the sinking of drug running boats as an example. Treating stateless vessels on the high seas as smugglers or pirates is perfectly legal. Ordering them to stop is perfectly legal. If they take evasive action to avoid being boarded or even approached, they can be fired upon. A warning shot is nice, but not actually required. Shooting to disable the boat is nice- but too bad for the boats (and the crew aboard) a disabling shot on those boats is also going to be a kill shot.

There are all kinds of treaties and laws on this. But the simple fact is- since time immemorial pirate and smuggling vessels have always been fair game. There doesn't need to be proof that drugs/contraband were on the boat or piracy was going on. Evasive action to avoid being boarded and searched is enough.

What is stateless vessel? One not displaying a flag and without required markings- Ai Overview pretty much covers it: "A ship on the high seas must have its name, home port (or hailing port), and its unique International Maritime Organization (IMO) number painted on the hull. Specific requirements vary by country, but the vessel name and home port are typically required on the sides of the bow and stern, and the IMO number is usually found on the stern or superstructure. " And bunches of legal "experts" have been telling the military that sinking them is illegal. And it's not.

Nobody knows who killed Kirk. The Tyler Robinson lone wolf shooter story is breaking down fast. It was obvious from the start that he was not alone in the planning or implementation of that assassination.

I am glad that people are doing the investigations that our media should be doing.

The Police/FBI have changed their story.

People in TPUSA and UVU on both sides are doing CYA activities right now.

The only things I do know is that Tyler Robinson did not act alone, there were other people who were planning on Kirk being shot, and either TPUSA leadership or UVU is lying and that is trending towards UVU administrators being the liars right now.

Oh and I also know that half of Democrats danced and cheered when he was killed and the other half were just too cowardly to admit it.

Zelensky and Europe were not consulted which is how this should have started. This is 100 percent between the United States and Russia. There is no other way this happens.

Ukraine will have elections in 100 days after signing the deal, which they will sign. My money is on Zelensky fleeing to Israel with his golden toilets.

You can read the 28 points if you want. Lets just say that Ukraine would have been better off signing the Minsk Accords and not losing millions of men.

We paid for a lot of Ukrainian Oligarchs to get golden toilets and Washington DC took at least 30% off the top. It is time for thousands of people in Washington DC to hang.

That is the much more dangerous part of their manifesto, not the part of disobeying illegal orders.

The seditious MC's just called Trump a domestic enemy of the constitution. In an address to 3 million armed service members.

I went shopping at Publix on the way home from work yesterday. Horror show — way more crowded than normal. I wonder if today was the day all the SNAP people got the rest of their money? The parking lot was close to full. There was one gal on the frozen pizza aisle, looked like she was doing Instacart, and was wearing an outfit that probably wasn’t appropriate outside of a strip club. Short and revealing. Then, at the checkout, there was a woman in her 40s with her adult daughter. Mom was wearing dark sweatpants and sweatshirt. When she bent over, it exposed her tramp stamp, which said JAH BLESS in colorful jagged letters. I wasn’t sure if she was calling down a blessing on whoever was behind her or unemployed. It was more like Wal-Mart than Publix yesterday!

Jamie ayon kay ...

My husband has a thought on the "illegal orders" video. I haven't listened to it yet; he tells me that the way these - what are they called in the headline? "Democrat hawks"? - the way they worded their statement was to say "you don't have to" obey illegal orders in all instances but one in which they said that servicemembers "must" disobey illegal orders. Why, he wondered?

He thinks it's a threat: once we're back in power, we're going to find a whole lot of Trump's orders illegal retrospectively. So be careful what orders you obey, servicemembers, or face court martial.

I hesitate to believe that they meant it exactly that way. But certainly, when they say things like “The threats to our Constitution aren't just coming from abroad, but from right here at home," the message (though not always "our laws," by design in some cases) is clear: think hard about every order you're given because we the legislature, makers of laws, are telling you some of those orders are a threat to the Constitution.

It's impossible to read it as anything less stark than that. Just like Inga's "Musk had better watch his stance on Israel if he doesn't want to be killed by Israel like Kirk....... as some people say." Theoretically equivalent to "just asking questions." A transparent tactic.

Here's a better stated view on the Democrat's actions.

Cynical Publius
@CynicalPublius
I’m not sure I’ve ever been angrier at Democrats than I am right now.

As a career Army officer, I take this latest nefarious chicanery from these filthy Congressional Democrat veterans quite personally,

It is loathsome and disgusting. You know, I know, they know and even their brainwashed acolytes know that what they are REALLY doing is encouraging active duty service members to refuse to follow lawful orders under the guise of pretending the orders are “unlawful.”

What these Democrat filth are doing is encouraging a form of military coup where service members get to decide not to do things they disagree with politically by pretending those otherwise lawful things are “unlawful.”

This is the greatest threat to US internal stability since the last time Democrats started a civil war. A military ruled by politics is no military at all. Instead, it is a group of armed thugs akin to the South American military juntas of the 1970s.

I cannot overstate what an extreme threat this situation is to our nation.

This is a precursor to civil war, initiated and deliberately created by traitorous elected officials hiding behind the honor of the uniform they once wore but now disgraced.

I have never been angrier.

Aggie ayon kay ...

They (I think it was Fox) had one of these Congressmen being interviewed about the video. When asked to provide examples of 'unlawful orders' that had been issued, the Congressman got cute and alluded to 'dangerous statements' and other euphemisms intended to represent what they had previously called 'unlawful'. It's a deception game: Call something the opposition is doing 'unlawful' or 'unconstitutional' and then, when challenged, avoid answering questions, provide no examples, and allude to things using slightly less inflammatory language. Let the listeners employ their imagination. If they hate the opposition, they'll believe.

It's the same thing Jasmine Crockett is doing, playing loose with facts and then using insinuation to deceive the listener, and relying on the listener's established bias to do the heavy lifting. New tactics from the daily memo.

Kinda almost stuck with Safari on my iPads. Turns out I kinda have two (or more?) Google accounts. I have had ieee.org and computer.org email accounts for better than three decades now - both through my IEEE membership. After retirement, the membership was half priced, and sometime in my early 70s, it became free. For several decades, IEEE ran their own email servers. Then, most of a decade ago, they brought in Google to run their online stuff. All through IEEE Galactic (NJ based). They refused to let IEEE USA see their contract with Google, but assured us that it provided for security and confidentiality. Right, with Google’s well documented history of tweaking their EUA on the fly. In any case that means that attorneys cannot ethically utilize IEEE.ORG, COMPUTER.ORG, and esp not Gmail professionally.

Thinking back to when the fiasco started a year or two ago, signing onto Ann’s blog requires signing onto Google, but that meant, for me, signing on through IEEE. AND Blogger is integrated with other Google tools, including Chrome. What it ultimately meant is that I can’t sign on to Blogger, and thus Ann’s blog, with the correct account, through Chrome, which I use for most everything else. Like it a lot better, and it is integrated with all my computers, including those running Windows. The result is that I use Safari for Althouse, and that is it.

Sen Kelly on Morning Blow today alluded to the domestic troop deployments as being illegal. If that's the biggest tool in their toolbox, it's pretty thin gruel (to mix a metaphor). Insurrection Act, some of the border statutes, and of course the rules that apply to the Guard on state duty, all provide justification.

Anyway, Trump will just make a blanket pardon for all War Department personnel for the entirety of both his terms. Maybe throw in the Obama and Biden eras just to be fair, as much as he would love to see Milley in Leavenworth. And he'll write and sign the whole thing longhand. Maybe in Sharpie on a huge posterboard, live from the Oval. CC, JSM

Trump in full support of Russia who is waging war in Europe. Who would have thought.

Trump is a factor of slowly decreasing relevance but like a dying scorpion still has sting in its tail.

China is on the rise; the US on decline. That is the big trend of our times. The Europeans and Far East democracies must prepare for a world where China is a lot more relevant and the US is not. The US is about one-third of global advanced economy GDP; the European and Far East democracies the other two-thirds. How does Europe makes this two-thirds more relevant?

Mostly by evolving its relationships with the other countries of the world. This takes time and patience. And trade -- which Europe is good at and at which the US is noticeably slipping -- is highly relevant because that is tomorrow's competitive arena where future relevance will be weighed and judged.

The nationalist wing of the Republican party is going to stay as the main rudder and deep keel of Republican policy for decades to come. They will always be unreliable; that is who they are.

Future American administrations will probably be more internationally cooperative just to advance their immediate interests. But stable long-term American international leadership is over. A new equilibrium must be constructed.
