I have zero interest in Melania, but I would like a peek at her pre-nup agreement.
Her son Baron was probably named by Donald since he used to use the alias Baron when he did radio call-in shows in NYC.
Trump doubled down on the executed Pretti, slandering him even more yesterday, while Homan promised a kinder, gentler ICE. What is happening is the same, but all before sunrise.

I endured the Melania film so you don’t have to – my only regret is not buying popcorn so one of my senses was entertained

The gist of it, by Caitlin Cassidy:

It’s Friday afternoon at Hoyts on Sydney’s northern beaches, and the atmosphere is horrific. I am here to see Amazon’s $75m “documentary” on Melania Trump, which has already been condemned as a flop ahead of its release.

When I arrive, I panic for a second that I have the time wrong. There are no Melania posters anywhere and the screening is tucked into the back bottom corner of the large movie theatre, like the weird leftover table at a wedding.

Eventually, just eight people arrive. The cinema has a capacity of about 150 people. There’s a couple, an elderly lady, a few middle-aged men and me. We all sit in the back for some reason.

I wonder if the terrible showing is because it’s a weird time of day to watch a movie. But of the five evening screenings of Melania taking place on its opening day at cinemas across Sydney, none have sold more than 16 tickets. One has sold just six.

Trump has said that when he declares the Insurrection Act he can cancel elections until the invasion is quelled.
The demonstrations are peaceful, but I'm sure that won't matter to Trump, who says the insurrectionists are being paid millions of dollars.

‘The ugly American’: Trump is uncouth and nakedly imperialistic, but we must imagine a future without him You can hear Professor O’Connor discuss Trump’s territorial ambitions and disruption of the “rules-based international order” with Waleed Aly and Scott Stephens on The Minefield.

US President Donald Trump believes he should have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for what he (falsely) claims to be his role in “having stopped 8 wars PLUS”. But it seems he will accept Greenland as a consolation prize. That he felt personally slighted by the Nobel snub is abundantly clear from a remarkable letter he sent to Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre:

    Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize … I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America. Denmark cannot protect that land from Russia or China, and why do they have a “right of ownership” anyway? … I have done more for NATO than any other person since its founding, and now, NATO should do something for the United States. The World is not secure unless we have Complete and Total Control of Greenland.

When asked by reporters from The New York Times why the United States needed to “own” Greenland, he said ownership was “Psychologically important for me”. But this interest in acquiring Greenland is nothing new. He expressed it repeatedly during his first term, and told Peter Baker and Susan Glasser back in 2021: (read on)

Once again, the FUOB has attacked Jerome Powell, calling him a ‘moron’, over the central bank’s Federal Open Market Committee’s decision not to artificially cut interest rates.

”Because of the vast amounts of money flowing into our Country because of Tariffs, we should be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE OF ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD,” he said…

The president did not explain what, if anything, revenue from tariffs (which are import taxes paid by Americans and not by foreign countries as he often claims) had to do with the Fed’s “overnight rate” that lays out how much interest banks can charge each other for short-term interbank loans…

Tariffs have made America strong and powerful again, far stronger and more powerful than any other Nation. Commensurate with this strength, both financial and otherwise, WE SHOULD BE PAYING LOWER INTEREST RATES THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD,” he added…”

Read the full article from The Independent here.

Are Americans really so stupid as to believe the bare-faced lie that tariffs are paid by foreign countries? Tariffs are paid for by Americans, there is no vast flow of money into the US from tariffs, so why isn’t the FUOB called out on the lie?

Re: TACO time

It took the focus away from cost of living and abused young girls for a couple of weeks.

.... which brought the response:

More importantly, it's distracting from Jack Smith's testifying - today IIRC - that he has a case solid enough to convict Trump for inciting the J6 insurrection.

It's an interesting and unique legal case; because as per the 14th Amendment an insurrectionist cannot stand for president, Trump is not the president now. This raises the argument that the Republicans didn't stand a candidate in 2024, which would mean Kamala Harris is President. This doesn't just eject Trump, it takes his entire administration with him as they would all be serving under false pretences.

.... which in turn yielded:

Ah, but Trump owns the SCOTUS.

I've not seen any of this other than the above, which causes me to wonder if someone also knows where Smith's grandchildren are. It worked for Vlad ....

Bruce Springsteen has released a new song, ‘Streets of Minneapolis’ which he wrote, recorded, and released in less than one week…

STREETS OF MINNEAPOLIS
Bruce Springsteen

Through the winter's ice and cold, down Nicollet Avenue
A city aflame fought fire and ice 'neath an occupier's boots
King Trump's private army from the DHS, guns belted to their coats
Came to Minneapolis to enforce the law or so their story goes

Against smoke and rubber bullets, in the dawn's early light
Citizens stood for justice, their voices ringing through the night
And there were bloody footprints where mercy should have stood
And two dead left to die on snow-filled streets, Alex Pretti and Renee Good

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice singing through the bloody mist
We'll take our stand for this land and the stranger in our midst
Here in our home they killed and roamed in the winter of '26
We'll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis

Trump's federal thugs beat up on his face and his chest
Then we heard the gunshots and Alex Pretti lay in the snow dead
Their claim was self-defense, sir, just don't believe your eyes
It's our blood and bones and these whistles and phones against Miller and Noem's dirty lies

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice crying through the bloody mist
We'll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis

Now they say they're here to uphold the law but they trample on our rights
If your skin is black or brown my friend you can be questioned or deported on sight
In our chants of "ICE out now!" our city's heart and soul persists
Through broken glass and bloody tears on the streets of Minneapolis

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice singing through the bloody mist
Here in our home they killed and roamed in the winter of '26
We'll take our stand for this land and the stranger in our midst
We'll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis
We'll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis

I have read a few articles on ABC (Oz) News which bring a glimmer of hope, in a few different situations.

Individually, each situation may look like nothing much, but combine them all and consider the fact that they are happening simultaneously, around the world and in the US and that is where the glimmer of hope can be found, IMHO.

Trump administration sued by families over deadly Venezuelan boat strike

"In short: The Trump administration's military campaign of striking boats in the Caribbean and Pacific oceans is facing its first legal challenge through the US courts.

"Families of two men, Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo, allege the pair were murdered while returning to the Caribbean island nation of Trinidad during a strike on October 14 last year.

"The Trump administration has previously framed the attacks as being a war against drug cartels."

What is in the EU-India trade deal and what does it mean for global trade?

Note: the main concept of this article is that Trump's tactics are working against both him and the US in relation to the economic decisions of other countries.

Tensions in Minnesota could send the US into another government shutdown — here's why

"Politicians across the spectrum in the United States are looking for ways forward as public outrage intensifies in Minnesota.

"As President Donald Trump sends in his 'border czar', Democrats are weighing whether to trigger a partial government shutdown."

This article is by a highly valued ABC (Oz) analytical journalist, Laura Tingle - always worth reading, IMHO:

Immigration was at the centre of Donald Trump's 2024 win, but it's now mired in controversy

"Donald Trump's presidency is increasingly being described as at a turning point that compels the Congress to take action to restrain him.

"The political mishandling of an escalating ICE crisis in Minneapolis — on top of a series of foreign policy threats and reversals — resulted in a poll by The Economist/YouGov finding an extraordinary 71 per cent of Americans reporting they felt like the country is 'out of control'.

"More than 60 per cent say the country is on the wrong track, and 58 per cent are dissatisfied with the way democracy is working.

"And just in case you think this might simply reflect one side of politics in an increasingly bitterly divided America, 50 per cent of those saying they felt things were out of control identified themselves as conservatives."


There are a lot more of these situations which are being reported on, and I have a sneaking feeling that the multiple and various sheepdogs are closing in on the renegade.

Toddler Trump may have had too many lead paint chips in his Queen's youth but he learned his dad's basic lessons of not paying and tying plaintiffs up in court, as well as a good dose of bigotry. As an adult with the Taj Mahal Casino, he found out the Mob had to be paid and how selling off in bankruptcy is part of the plan. Extortion and threats were now in his playbook. This strategy has worked for him to this day. He demanded billions of dollars from S Korea and recently piled tariffs up on them for not paying promptly.

Even an addled brain from lead poisoning can use bigotry and mob mentality effectively. With more power mere threats can be replaced with various criminal acts. He is currently enjoying his adventures with vicarious murder.

Tonight Rachel Maddow is discussing the crumbling of support for these ICE and Homeland Security officials (including the top - Noem) within the White House. This doesn't mean that Trump or Miller are changing their minds about their policies, but it means they realize they are in a lot of trouble and will cut their losses by tossing out a few administrators.

Things to consider in regard to all of these protests: in the US citizens and residents of all races are stepping up, but the Anglo population feels safest about going out because they are White. They are defending their friends and neighbors who are immigrants or naturalized or who are undocumented. Clearly that sense of privilege and safety has been shattered with the execution of Good and Pretti. They mean well, but until the whole white population is equally outraged when brown and black immigrants and citizens are harmed (and there have been many more hurt and killed) with each case becoming a huge headline, we're not there yet. Episodes come to the top - the ICE folks using a five-year-old as bait to get his father to come out of the house, the various early deportations that ignored judges saying "not so fast." Supporters of African American murder victim Brianna Taylor are incensed when EuroAmericans chant "Say Her Name" for Renee Nicole Good, feeling that it has been appropriated and not enough attention is paid to minority victims of this bad behavior (and past offenses by police in general). There is a lot of work to do. Right now, it would be best if all of the groups can work together, instead of arguing amongst themselves. (Trump and his ilk use the tool of dividing us so we bicker amongst ourselves, weakening our strength to get rid of them.)

Often, people accidentally tell half the story.
Ronald Reagan increased border enforcement, created the first private immigration detention centers, and implemented specific, smaller-scale enforcement actions like the 1982 "Project Jobs" which detained 5,400 people. Simultaneously, he signed the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which granted amnesty and legal status to nearly 3 million undocumented immigrants.

Stand by for blasting ---

[...]
As the driver of a narrative, Trump intuitively grasps that, to compel attentrion and compliance, a political story must have two core features. First, it must achieve emotional resonance, grip its audience and keep social media ablaze with updates.
[...]
Trump thrives on plot beats, pace, twists, suspense, drama, action, jump scares, cliff-hangers. [...] These dissonances --- these abrupt shofts in focus and tone --- are not an error. They are the whole point.

For the second core feature of a 21st-century political story is its relentlessness.
[...]
Though this deranged notion [to expand the USA's land mass by swallowing Greenland] threatens the entire NATO edifice [...] it is not a conflict with Europe that Trump seeks. I don't think that prospect alarms or seriously crosses his mind. What he is really after is the establishment of a war mentality at home.

This is where spectacle and power converge. In a chilling interview with CNN's Jake Tapper last Monday, Stephen Miller, Trump's increasingly influencial chief of staff, was quite brazen about the administration's view that might and right are inseperable.

This is only a taster; I can't do full justice to the original, which is around forty column-inches (one-and-a-quarter pages) in length.

He's already cried "havoc" and let loose the orcs of ICE, but to cement him in place forever, he needs an insurrection, or something which passes for one to F*x News's satisfaction.

But these pesky citizens will insist on videoing real and contradictory evidence. How long before a camera is reclassified as a firearm?

Believe Your Eyes
People are risking their lives to document agents in Minneapolis.

I don't know if people will be able to open this, I can't find a button for sharing it at the moment. If one turns up I'll update the link. In The Atlantic.

Chances are, you’ve seen Richard Tsong-Taatarii’s photo. Taken Wednesday in Minneapolis, it shows an unidentifiable protester face down on the ground; two Border Patrol agents are on top of him, holding him there, while a third unloads pepper spray into his face from just inches away.

The photo ran on the front page of The Minnesota Star Tribune on Friday and already feels like a defining image of the long ICE incursion in Minneapolis—a powerful illustration of how the agency has acted, in broad daylight, with excessive force and impunity.

This is just one example of federal agents terrorizing people in the city. There’s also the photo of a 5-year-old boy being detained outside his home. There’s the video of an agent chasing a teenager through the snow on a residential street as the boy yells “I’m legal” in Spanish. And yesterday, the world saw footage of Alex Pretti, a nurse who worked in the ICU of a Veterans Affairs hospital, as agents pepper-sprayed him, knocked him down, appeared to remove a legally permitted gun from his person, and fired at least 10 bullets into his prone body. (Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino has claimed that the agents were the “real victims” and suggested that they were acting in self-defense.)
