    1. Morning, Pat! I feel your pain but we’re on the downhill slide of winter now. I’ll take snow over sleet any day of the week! We got a dusting yesterday but it’s disappeared already. A few super cold days/nights (only 11 now) coming up. Still no sign of Wheezer – hopefully, he’s hunkered down healing somewhere under shelter but we’ll see….if it started as an open wound, infection might set in.

    I worked for the SBA on Covid loans fraud through the roof I tried to stop all I could. Took my complaint all the way to management and the inspector general . No one cared management told me just push things through and I was doing too much. Inspector general didn’t put much effort into it either , Trump has now fired this inspector general . He goes on MSNBC to complain it’s against democracy to fire him. NO, you were fired because you didn’t do your job and allowed Americans to be robbed blind

    Sen. Tom Cotton:

    Outrageous. Obama Judge Paul Engelmayer didn’t just bar @elonmusk

    and @doge from Treasury systems, he barred the Secretary of the Treasury himself. Without citing a single law or even allowing Trump admin to appear in court! This outlaw should be reversed immediately and Engelmayer should be forbidden by higher courts from ever hearing another case against the Trump admin.

    Leftist Lawfare – Manhattan Judge Issues Emergency Order Removing Secretary of Treasury, All Political Appointees and DOGE Personnel from Federal Govt., Only Bureaucrats Allowed in DC

    February 8, 2025 | Sundance | 1,059 Comments

    In a stunning and sweeping emergency injunction that has even stunned the people who demanded it, a Manhattan-based District Judge has just removed Secretary of Treasury Scott Bessent from his authority over the Treasury Department; blocked any political appointee from accessing records within the Treasury Department; blocked any “special appointee” of President Trump from records within Treasury; and demanded that all information previously extracted be destroyed.

    The emergency injunction was signed by District Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan, {Ruling pdf Here} determined without any input from the Trump administration and applies until Friday, February 14, 2025, when U.S. District Judge Jeannette A. Vargas will hear the full arguments of the lawsuit.

  19. EXCERPT: “….The latest sign of strengthening support among Republicans for Pres. Trump’s plans came on Saturday, near the tail-end of a sit-down interview with Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) on CNN.

    For whatever reason, the failing network’s producers thought it would be acceptable for the CNN host to stand in as a mouthpiece for the left’s white-hot anger over what DOGE is doing.

    Burchett, who sits on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, and whose X bio describes him as a “fiscally conservative Republican,” shuts her down with a few doses of reality.

    https://x.com/GuntherEagleman/status/1888352059977781303

    His first straight answer was solid: “The USAID has been a complete ripoff of the American taxpayer. Shut it down.”

    That’s when the anchor ratchets up the feels meter, asking about aid getting taken away from the poor, innocent farmers. Burchett calmly explains that things could be easily “regroup[ed]” later, and if any farmer can show he or she is doing things the right way, “then they should get legitimate pay.” He adds that “American taxpayers should not be in charge of policing or feeding the world. We need to take care of our own first.”

    The lawmaker also laid out who American taxpayers are not obliged to take care of: Subsidizing the evil, Marxist wish lists of these organizations, run by people “who do not like our country. They hate our flag, they hate everything about it, and they will do whatever they can to wreck it.”

    The powerful words did not end there, though. Rep. Burchett reels off one more damning fact: “Every dollar is borrowed that we’re giving away….It is a recipe for destruction,” Burchett says. Someone remind me–but aren’t the Democrats the ones who continually cry about everything needing to be “paid-for”?

    At this point, all the show host can manage is to repeat her apoplectic lament about government employees being scared/angry.

    This is how you do it–by refusing to let the progressive messengers’ emotional thoroughbreds even get out of the starting gate. Now, where are the waste, fraud, and abuse dismantling artists in DOGE turning to next? Burchett offers this delicious sneak preview on his X account:

    “Watch the Teachers Union pitch a fit when @elonmusk @DOGE and the @DOGECommittee dismantle the Dept. of Education. They aren’t for educating kids or even paying teachers more. They are for empowering the bloated Union.”

  21. Burning Bright:

    “The Deep State Death Blossom is morphing into a Death Spiral.”

    “Let’s explore the difference, and yeah, 1987’s Predator is relevant …

    A Death Blossom generally refers to the kinetic reaction a panicked or hemmed in enemy triggers when they’re reaching the end of his rope, and is one of the most oft-cited analogies when it comes to tracking the ideological or physical retreat of said enemy. You might refer to this as a ‘fighting retreat.’

    In Predator, Dutch and the gang of elite commandos are shadowed and tracked by an otherworldly hunter for days in the jungle. As the Predator takes out members of the squad one by one, panic begins to set in.

    Where Dutch gets more and more calm as the chaos sets in around him, other members of the group are less steady, and one of the most iconic scenes in the film features the group firing into the jungle in a mix of mania, catharsis and desperation to be rid of a threat some of them have believed only exists in their minds up to that point.

    Later on, when the group has been whittled down, Carl Weathers’ character Dillon finds himself in the Predator’s sights, and after being mortally wounded, he mimics the earlier scene, firing into the jungle in a blind death blossom, and while this move is ultimately futile, it does manage to wound the Predator, proving to the surviving Dutch that the creature is not only real, but that it can bleed.

    In the context of the Deep State, I believe the 2024 election cycle was a Death Blossom, the stage of the game where they began firing blindly (and literally,) revealing themselves and their ultimate aims to the people in a last desperate bid to be rid of Trump and the movement he represents: that’s us.

    In so doing, they revealed themselves as the collectivist beast we’ve drawn them as for years.

    Death Blossoms are dangerous, but ultimately, they can be weathered. Death Spirals are different, and I think we’re seeing the Deep State transition from the former to the latter as Trump makes good on his promises, and as the people seize the mass psychological momentum inherent in him doing so.

    Perhaps the best example of a Death Spiral occurs naturally in the animal kingdom, when an ant gets confused following a pheromone trail left by itself rather than another. What can follow is, ironically, a fatal following, as other members of the colony act on their innate programming and follow the pheromone trail that ant puts down, not knowing the ant is following a trail it already left, and one that goes nowhere.

    You can watch videos of the phenonenon online, and it’s as fascinating as it is disturbing watching an entire colony literally spin itself into a spiral of programmatic following that ultimately dooms them, and traps them in a loop.

    As you watch the Deep State scratch and claw upon the walls (both literal and figurative) of their former hegemon, know that the Death Blossom is ending, while the Death Spiral is just beginning.

    And that the People are watching it all.”

  31. Good morning, Pat and Filly!

    We’ve had a rough weekend – !

    Sally was hostile and refused meds and food all day on Friday. She called her Dad and me vulgar names. The look in her eyes was scary – out of it. Around midnight, I finally woke her and got her to drink a Boost shake and take her meds. She only agreed to do this when I told her if she had a low blood sugar crisis, I would call the EMTs and they would take her to the hospital and when she came out, she would be put in the nursing home because she would not cooperate and let us care for her.

    While on the Fentanyl, she had become more and more difficult even for Sabrina, her longtime caregiver to handle. She was incoherent much of the time. She had dreams that she thought were real. She cried a lot, and was hostile when we didn’t or couldn’t meet her demands.

    Because of all this, Dad and I decided to take Sally Q off the transdermal Fentanyl patch and go back to hydrocodone for pain and Lorazapam for agitation/irritability.

    The more the Fentanyl got out of her system, she became more coherent, cooperative, and less hostile. She ate a full meal, used the bathroom, and things were more tolerable and less stressful for us.

    Dealing with the Friedreich’s Ataxia, heart disease, diabetes and cancer, plus working out pain medication side effects, and behavior issues is a complex situation. It feels like being an air traffic controller at a major airport. I just updated her Hospice nurse case manager about all this via email.

    Thanks for your prayers, encouragement and wisdom! You all mean the world to me!

    2. Oh, GA! Fentanyl is poison! It was a big part of my daughter’s death. I was soooo frightened when you mentioned her being on it but I didn’t want to pile any more worries on you than just the short comment I did make. And I had to be honest and recognize that my daughter quite possibly may have chosen that route intentionally – we just don’t know. But it IS what killed her! I am SOOOO happy you have stopped giving it to Sally.

    Rep Tenney on FOX & Friends First – YouTube
    Rep. Claudia Tenney on Elise Stefanik’s vacated Congressional seat:

    “Other than blatant partisan politics, there is no reason to rewrite the law and intentionally delay the NY-21 special election. Albany Democrats had no issue holding special elections in districts like NY-26 and NY-03 last year. But now, they’re considering delaying the NY-21 special election—purely to serve their far-left agenda.

    This is nothing more than a shameless attempt by Democrats to undermine the will of the people. The voters of New York’s 21st District deserve immediate representation in Congress, not political games.

    By postponing this election, Governor Hochul and Albany Democrats are robbing the people of NY-21 of their voice in Washington. As chair of the Election Integrity Caucus, I am exploring all legal options to hold Democrats accountable for this abuse of power. We must ensure Democrats do not rewrite and undermine the law whenever it is convenient for them.”

  45. Red State: “Have you noticed the predictable pattern of Republicans like Sen. Tom Cotton (AR) and Sen. Josh Hawley (MO), and President Donald Trump’s cabinet members and nominees Pam Bondi (AG), Pete Hegseth (DefSec), Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (HHS), Marco Rubio (SecState), and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem appearing on “mainstream” (left-wing) outlets, and promptly — but calmly and factually — dismantling would-be “gotcha” hosts who desperately try to trip them up over Trump’s policies? 

    Of course you have; I just wanted to revisit the enjoyment of watching it happen. Welp, such was the case on Sunday’s predictable episode of CNN’s “State of Union,” when always-snappy host Dana Bash did her biased best to do battle with Kristi Noem. Any guesses? Spoiler: It wasn’t even a contest.

    In one predictable exchange, Bash, always a cheerleader for “undocumented immigrants,” tried to grill Noem about Trump shipping illegal aliens to Guantanamo Bay.

    BASH: Undocumented immigrants, detained in the United States … have a right to legal counsel and due process, but one of the questions is about whether or not Guantanamo — if whether or not you actually have the law on your side to use Guantanamo for this purpose… We also know that when someone is trying to get into the United States illegally is interdicted at sea, they’ve been brought to Guantanamo. I don’t believe that people who are already on U.S. soil have been brought to Guantanamo. 

    Whew, right? Noem finally broke in:

    NOEM: Guantanamo Bay has been used for migrants in the past when they’ve been coming to the United States—

    Bash rudely cut Noem off, mid-sentence.

    BASH: Are you comfortable that it is legal to bring people who are already on U.S. soil to Guantanamo?

    “I am, Noem replied, adding:

    And the president’s comfortable with that … as his legal scholars are. And obviously there will be people who are critics of that but we are standing up the operations, believing we have all legal authority to do so. And that facility has been used for migrants in the past, the directions that they’re flowing, and the agreements we have with their home countries, will continue to keep that population changing.

    Bash tried again, which is irrelevant, but what is relevant is here was CNN — smugly self-declared “The Most Trusted Name in News” — yet again being more concerned about legal or constitutional technicalities than the blatantly illegal presence of millions of illegal aliens on American soil, a growing number of whom have committed brutal murder and rape of American citizens. 

    Even worse, hacks like Bash are oblivious to the way they’re seen by a strong majority of decent Americans.

    Incidentally, one — a rational, logical one, that is — would easily connect the dots with what I wrote before the above video and the speed at which CNN’s ratings continue to swirl down the toilet.

    Anyway, my favorite exchange was when Bash tried to corner Noem with a direct question about Trump previously suggesting “maybe getting rid of FEMA” (Federal Emergency Management Agency), adding: “I think we’re going to recommend that FEMA go away and we pay directly.” Here’s Bash:

    If the president came to you and said, ‘You’re my DHS secretary, do you think I should get rid of FEMA? … What would you say?

    What Noem would say — and say it directly — was likely not what Bash expected.

    NOEM: I would say, yes, get rid of FEMA the way it exists today. We still need the resources and the funds and the finances to go to people that have these types of disasters, like Hurricane Helene and the fires in California, but you need to let the local officials make the decisions on how that is deployed, so it can be deployed much quicker.

    As Secretary Noem knew before she answered Bash’s question, Trump’s assessment of FEMA is correct, and tragically, residents of North Carolina, devastated by Helene, and California, where out-of-control wildfires turned Los Angeles County into what looks like a scorched-earth war zone, experienced first-hand the epic failure of FEMA.

    It’s almost befuddling how simps like Dana Bash and her ilk continue to subject themselves to humiliation, week after week, when yet another member of Team Trump drops by one of their ridiculous shows, doesn’t break, and destroys them and their biased nonsense.

    Thankfully, they do.”
