Pause, Hammer Time

A federal judge announces that President Trump can “pause” executive branch agencies from spending money, even though he supposedly doesn’t have the right to “stop” them from spending it. Of course, as usual there is no legal definition of a “pause” versus a “stop”. Perhaps some emanations and penumbras can be found to further clarify […]

No, "a car" has not driven into a crowd in Munich, injuring 20 people.

A "man" drove that car into the crowd of Versi union demonstrators, presumably with the intent to injure and kill.

He has been arrested at the scene.

Just like the Magdeburg Christmas Market, or 2016 Berlin truck attack, or 2017 Westminster Bridge attack.

The press must stop reporting these incidents as if the cars are being possessed by poltergeists, or plowing into crowds because of a fault with the accelerator.

Unless a truly rare accident -- and which point, I will retract -- these attacks fit a predictable pattern.

The vehicles in these attacks are driven by deranged and evil foreign men who want to maim and murder innocent bystanders to terrorise the countries who let them in.

These attacks are the consequence of immigration policy.

The fault lies with government just as much as with the attackers, which is why the press presents them with such vague framing -- shifting the blame to nobody in particular.

🇺🇸⚡️- President Trump says the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will carry out an audit against the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for “corruption and waste.”

The reason why European leaders are so butthurt over Trump is that USGOV has stopped pretending that Europe is a meaningful participant in current geopolitical affairs, that their opinion matters, that anyone cares about them, etc. For decades, the US vassals demanded a certain decorum in how they are being treated, at least publicly, as an article of the feudal contract, and Trump is just not going along with the ritualistic speech laws. This is perfectly in line with what I said earlier about the US shifting to consolidating their core imperial possessions. The new US admin is not entertaining the role-playing part anymore and putting their serfs in their place. This is much more annoying and humiliating to the Brussels satraps than any real shift in US foreign policy, which is not as extreme as they are pretending. But they are feeling "disrespected"

Are you ready for civil omniwar?

NEW: In a close vote this morning, Robert F Kennedy Jr. has been confirmed as the new Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Sen McConnell (R, KY) was the lone Republican to vote No.

DOGE has existed twice before

Most recently was under President Clinton’s “National Partnership for Reinventing Government” and most famously in 1941 under Then-Senator Truman’s “Truman Committee”.

Interesting that historically BOTH previous efforts at DOGE were Democratic led.

Also important to know that with very little money, specifically less than $7M over 7 years, the Truman Committee saved the USA $10-15B. These are 1941 dollars. Adjusted for inflation, the Truman Committee saved USA almost $250B of today’s dollars.
