You Won’t

Liberal white Karen says they are going door to door, looking for Trump supporters, once DJT is no longer in office.

They always tell you exactly who they are. They aren’t shy about getting their pogroms on, are they?

Over 70 million Trump voters, and they own about 500 million guns, give or take 200 million. I’m betting Karen won’t be going door to door. Here is a common core math problem:

If you want to go door to door, asking people if they are MAGA supporters and imprisoning them if they say yes, how many door kickers will get shot before your retarded ass runs out of people willing to ask the question?

Like I Said

I made this point more than 5 years ago, but I was ridiculed for it. People are starting to get it:

As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.

What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.

Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.

This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.

The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.

I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.

Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.

We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.

Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore. It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

The left is following the CIA insurgency manual to a tee. We are seeing an organized attempt at overthrowing the government.

Note that with this past shooting, the left is all singing the same song on the Internet and social media: he had a second amendment right to attack that cop while carrying a gun. It’s as if there is a single, approved script. This isn’t grassroots, it’s Astroturf.

Hey You, Get on to my Cloud

My Dad was an engineer for Hewlett Packard. When I was a kid, I grew up in a world where computers took up an entire room, and when my dad had to work on the weekends, he would bring us with him. To entertain me, he would allow me to use mainframes to play games. Back then, games weren’t nearly as polished as now. I played games like the text based Star Trek or Lunar Lander. I remember that there was a text based drag racing simulator. Later, after cartridge-based video games like the Atari came out, my Dad and his coworkers showed me how to use a machine that would burn ROM chips with software called “Bruno,” that would read a cartridge then create a ROM that was an exact copy while a message on the computer monitor would say: “Bruno is crunching data. Nom. Nom. Nom.” I owned hundreds of Atari and Intellivision games as a result.

I am willing to bet that I played games on millions of dollars of mainframes. The point to this story, was my dad once predicted that computers were too expensive and large for the average American to have in their homes, but he said that one day, it would be common for Americans to have a terminal at their home, and they could rent computer time. He didn’t foresee the revolution that would make computers as powerful as those mainframes fit in the palm of your hand. However, it turns out that he was quite astute when it came to the business side of things.

Jeff Bezos has declared that people will soon have nothing but terminals in their homes, which they will use to rent cloud computing time as a subscription model. Cloud computer is, of course, a term meaning someone else’s computer. Namely, Jeff Bezos’ computer. It’s because companies are busy buying up every computer chip they can lay their hands on. 64gb of RAM that cost me $230 in October are now costing over $600 now. A 4tb SSD that cost $215 in October costs $430 now.

It seems that these companies buying up all of the production have driven costs through the roof. Those same people are saying that they will let you rent the computers they just built, at a handsome markup, of course.

And they are wrong. When prices climb like they have, the market response is predictable. Other companies will enter the market, causing prices to stabilize. Eventually, prices will come down. The first home computers were expensive.

The IBM PC (1981) started at $1,565 (over $4,000 today) for a basic model, with only a 5.25 inch floppy drive for storage. I remember that my Commodore 64 had one of those drives (external, of course) and that drive cost $350. Why was it called the ’64’? Because it had only 64 kilobytes (KB) of RAM, which is where it gets its name, plus about 20 KB of ROM for its operating system and BASIC interpreter, and the Commodore 64 was popular because it had more memory than its competitors. 64kb of ram is literally one millionth of the capacity of the computer I am typing this one.

Those 5.25 inch floppy drives? Yeah, they held 512 kb of data, and you could double that if you had a hole puncher. Those of you who know how that works, well, you know. The NAS that I use for storing files in the house? It has 12 TB of storage space, meaning it can store the same amount of information as more than 12 million of those drives, hole puncher or not.

The point is this: the market will respond, and it will be as difficult to force Americans to rent computer time online as it will be to tell Americans that they have to buy shares in a community automobile. The real purpose of this is control. If they control your car, your computer, and what you do with them, they control you.

Then there is nothing that they can’t make you do. The title of this piece, most of you will recognize, is a paraphrase of a Rolling Stones song, meant as a protest of how restrictive the Stones thought American society was in the 1960s. It’s odd to me that the counter culture of the 60s is now wanting to give birth to a society that is far more restrictive than 1960s America ever was.

Propaganda

As I read this article, a supposed interview of the Minneapolis police chief, a couple of thoughts came to mind:

1 This is not an interview, it’s a propaganda piece

At one point in the interview, a supposed person driving by recognized the police chief and yelled out: “How dare you let this happen here? You should be fucking ashamed. You should be fucking sick. Fucking pig.” Yeah. That moment, some random passer-by, just happened to pass by when the chief was being interviewed on camera. I believe that. This entire piece is propaganda worthy of the old Soviet Union.

2 What we are seeing in real time, is an insurrection. There is nothing else to call it. This is a state, multiple states, in fact, that are openly defying Federal authority. The governor has said he is calling out the national guard to support local law enforcement. Support them in doing what? Defying or even attempting to arrest ICE agents, in my opinion. This is a thinly veiled threat.

The left is going to take over the government. Not by force. The useful idiots are going to help them. At the next election or two, the left will gain enough power to begin the purge. It’s coming. I’ve been saying it since the Floyd riots in 2020. Shit is going to get ugly. It’s taking longer than I thought, but this is perhaps being moderated a bit by the average American’s attention span.

Selling Out

One thing I admire about Democrats is their cohesion. They stick together and follow the party line no matter what. Say what you want about them, they stay the course. Even though I disagree with them on nearly every point, they at least stick to their misguided principles.

Not so the stupid party, the Republicans. Proving that the Republicans will go back to their default state, selling out their voters, they are already caving and funding more Obamacare subsidies.

Fascism?

The left loves to call us fascists and Trump a dictator, yet I keep seeing more and more evidence that the left was engaged in the systematic destruction of the Constitutional protections that we are supposed to have here in the USA. For example:

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley has been conducting a Congressional investigation, and has uncovered FBI documents showing that President Biden’s administration was engaged in intelligence gathering operations through the use of illegal interception of the electronic communications of at least eight different opposition leaders. That’s right- the FBI was spying on Republicans.

The FBI targeted the following Members of Congress:

  • Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.)
  • Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.)
  • Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.)
  • Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska)
  • Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.)
  • Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.)
  • Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.)
  • Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.)
  • Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.)

Tell me again how Trump is the one acting like a dictator. Keep in mind that Nixon was about to be impeached, and resigned from office, for doing far less than this.

Getting Hotter

From a comment on yesterday’s post:

I just heard the audio from Chicago PD ordering officers to stand down and not assist the federal agents. Sure seems like Civil War 2 is kicking off, doesn’t it?

It sure looks like it. One thing seems certain, in the last few months, the left appears to have ramped up both violent rhetoric and actual violence.

In June, DHS noted that there were increasing examples of agents and their families being doxxed and threatened online.

In July, there were dozens of arrests made of individuals who either threatened or attempted to carry out violent acts against Federal Law Enforcement. Armed attacks in Alvaredo and McAllister Texas. The attack in Alvaredo was evidence of coordinated leftist attacks. Several people wearing black clothing where attackers drew ICE officers out of the facility by first setting off fireworks and spray painting “traitor” and “ICE pig” on cars and a guard post at the facility.

As officials engaged the group, someone standing in the nearby woods flashed a signal with a flashlight before shots were fired from the same direction.

A second assailant across the street mag dumped at the cops. An AR-style rifle and a flag emblazoned with the words, “resist fascism, fight oligarchy”, as well as flyers reading “Fight ICE terror with class war”, were found at the scene.

In August, a 36-year-old identified as Bratton Dean Wilkinson claimed he had a bomb detonator in his backpack at the Dallas ICE facility.

September saw the Charlie Kirk assassination, as well as shootings at the ICE office in Dallas. An ICE agent shot and killed an illegal immigrant who was trying to run him over.

This weekend, ICE agents were ambushed by at least 10 cars full of people, with at least one of them armed. An armed woman was shot.

The left is ramping up the violence in a way that displays coordination and control, as well as better tactics and logistics. They are getting all of their shit into one sock. It’s only a matter of time before the events begun by them begin drawing return fire.

Spicy times are a’comin.

Pushing Back

When my son was young, he was small for his age. He came home from school one day, upset that while playing soccer, he accidentally kicked the ball through his own team’s goal. Because of this mistake, a 5th-grade kid had physically assaulted him. He told me that this kid had been hitting him and bullying him for the past several weeks, and was telling me that he no longer wanted to go to school. I called the school and was told: “Well, there are a lot of children out there for recess, so many that the teachers can’t watch everyone, all of the time.”

I told my son that the next time someone hit him, he should defend himself. He told me that he didn’t want to get in trouble. I responded by telling him to let me worry about that. I also pointed out to him that he had been playing Pop Warner football, and the kid who had hit him was no bigger than some of the other kids on his team.

A couple of days went by before he again came home from school, this time telling me that the kid had hit him, and he had done what I told him to and beat the snot out of the other kid. My son was upset, because he had a letter telling him that he was to be suspended for fighting.

I called the school and told them that I wanted a meeting immediately. I got one for the next day.

At this meeting, the answer that I got was that they had a “zero tolerance” policy for fighting, and the result of this was all kids who fight receive 3 days of out of school suspension. I pointed out that I had come to them just the previous week and was told they couldn’t watch everyone, so why now?

“Well, we saw the fight.” I told them that they have a legal duty to keep my child safe, and when they fail in that duty, even after being told that my child was being physically attacked, they were failing in that duty. To compound this by suspending my child when he defends himself from a physical attack is the height of irresponsible behavior.

I also told them, should this discipline stand, I would be back to the school the following day with an attorney, and we would see where that would take us. I had every intention of doing so- it wasn’t an idle threat.

The suspension was lifted, and the kid never touched my son again. The best part was that my son learned a couple of important lessons that day on how not to be pushed around by others.

You can’t let bullies, in this case a child and a lazy set of school staff, run roughshod over you. You exhaust your options for a peaceful solution, but once that has been seen to its completion, you have to go on to the next step. Unless you fight back, bullying behavior will always continue. The corollary to that was eloquently stated by Mike Tyson: “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.”

That’s the lesson for today. I’m sure each of you understands where that line of thought leads.

Selling Out

Rep. María Elvira Salazar (R-FL) has introduced the Dignity Act to allow illegals to stay in the US if they’ve succeeded in illegally being here for five years or more.

Those supporting illegals claim that this will ‘fix’ the US immigration problem because illegals won’t be illegal any longer. If we get rid of laws against murder, it will fix our murder problem, too. Thats brilliant!

Just because Democrats are the enemy, doesn’t make Republicans your friend.

Silencing

The left is in an uproar over the firing of Jimmy Kimmel. I am actually glad to see that the right is now pushing the same canceling that the left has been doing for about a decade. They canceled talk radio when they wanted to point out election irregularities.

They made an enemies list. They silenced us on social media to the point where I had to move this blog from a free blogger account to this paid server. I don’t care that Jimmy Kimmel was fired.

If you are on the right, fighting against this, remember that they want to kill you. They won’t care that you “took the high road.”
