It's incredible to see Democrats whining about "selective prosecution" in the case of Letitia James.
Her entire career is built on the selective prosecution of one man! Give me a break. pic.twitter.com/RmqySfYaxI

• What is Power For? James Howard Kunstler)
Now, try to imagine Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (Jabba the Pritzker) as a Confederate general, his juddering bulk astride a panting war-horse, as he gallops into battle against federal positions in Millennium Park, Chicago. . . . Yeah, in the immortal words of Homey D. Clown, I don’t think so. Yet these seem to be the fantasies typically entertained in our times by the Big Dawgs of the Democratic Party: a confederacy of dweebs. While Mr. Trump uses presidential power to bring the Gaza War to resolution, officials in the Party of Chaos, distributed through the federal bureaucracy, and down into the state and city ranks, maneuver to ignite Civil War 2.0 in ourcountry. They seem to be mighty pissed-off about something, but what could it really be? Surely not just the removal by deportation of countless border jumpers they ushered in during the baleful term of “Joe Biden” to beef-up their voter rolls.
No, what galls them is the sheer hemorrhaging of their power. The people of this land increasingly reject them and their insane claims and are walking away from the party, at the same time that Mr. Trump seeks to methodically disassemble the scaffold of all their roguery because it is bent on wrecking the republic. What was their power for? I will tell you: nothing more than maintaining that scaffold, which was a colossal racketeering operation, a matrix of money-flows at every level from the cash payments to their sniveling nose-ring foot-soldiers marshaled outside the ICE buildings, to the many thousands employed by Woke foundations, think tanks, and NGOs, to the grifters of the teachers’ union, to the mayors, governors, and bureaucratic myrmidons of “sanctuary” cities and states, to the federal agency goldbricks and “Trump resisters,” to the zillion-dollar stock portfolios of their avatars such as Nancy Pelosi, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Sheldon Whitehouse, and Adam Schiff, to the accounts receivable of the Lawfare firms run by Norm Eisen and Marc Elias, to the bonuses of worker bees in foundering news orgs such as The New York Times (Michael Schmidt) and MSNBC (Nicolle Wallace).
That is the beginning and end of their power-seeking: one big moneygrubbing racket. The Party existed solely for the sustenance of the Party, a political tautology in living color. Everything else — their idiotic “policies,” their gender madness, their race hustles, even the mutual admiration of Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel — was noise, sturm and drang, gaslight, pretend. . . finally vectoring toward treason. The sedition it underwrote had a single purpose: to destroy the one figure seeking to end the rackets, the duly-elected Mr. Trump. Their great frustration in failing to accomplish that, and his terrifying return to the Oval Office in 2025 after monumental efforts to banish, ruin, imprison, and kill him, has driven them batshit crazy. So, now they’re all-in for Civil War 2.0.
The Democratic Party grift machine was kind of the modern reincarnation of the old “Spoils System” of government from the late 19th century (“To the victor go the spoils”). But back then, it was strictly government jobs for the connected. There was no giant asteroid belt of subversive service orgs, no NGOs or think tanks that flourish today around Washington. Of course, the Spoils System blossomed after the terrible ordeal of Civil War 1.0, and the last thing the grifters aimed to do was undermine the golden goose of government. They just wanted them golden eggs. Anyway, the whole wicked business got the kibosh when Congress passed the Pendleton Civil Service Reform Act of 1883. But as things will in history — which rhymes, as you know — the Spoils System was reincarnated in a new-and-improved guise by the Democratic Party under Barack Obama and finally burgeoned into a gigantic, demonic, criminal enterprise under Mr. Obama’s stand-in, “Joe B,” himself a connoisseur of bribery and money-laundering.
So, the Democratic Party appears now to be moving into overt insurrection, for the very purpose of goading Mr. Trump into declaring insurrection, in order to put down the insurrection they are ginning up around the country. And that way, they get to label him “a tyrant” so as to persuade the voters to keep the party of Chaos in office to “fight for our democracy” — meaning, to keep all their rackets going. I doubt that Mr. Trump will shrink from the challenge, certainly not because a gang of sycophant federal judges issue injunctions against his exercise of constitutional power — that is, the power to preserve, protect, and defend the reasons for our existence as a nation.

• U.K, France and Germany Organize Urgent Meeting to Take Control (CTH)
International politics can be boring at times, but the one constant in an ever-changing universe is the hubris of the European Union. With President Trump outlining the breakthrough negotiations for a peace agreement in Gaza, Emmanuel Macron (France), Keir Starmer (U.K) and Friedrich Merz (Germany) call an urgent meeting of EU Foreign Ministers to organize their strategy to take over the Gaza “Board of Peace.”
EUROPE – Now that Donald Trump’s peace deal has the green light, European powers want a seat at the table. As the news broke that Israel and Hamas had agreed the first phase of a ceasefire plan, French President Emmanuel Macron sent a rapid call out to other European allies and Arab nations to meet in Paris.British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul both broke away from a U.K.-hosted summit on the Western Balkans to meet fellow ministers in France.
[…] The trio of countries known as the “E3” is likely to argue for a representative on the “Board of Peace,” the body that will oversee the transitional governance of Gaza by a Palestinian committee. (read more) At a topline review the demands of the EU are pure hubris. However, when you review the underlying background of the EU state actors, the events are more appropriately considered pathetic. The British social and economic system is in a severe state of crisis. The parliamentary government of France has collapsed five times in the past two years, and the German industrial base is shrinking, rapidly. Simultaneous to this, China is crushing the Europeans on their own turf. There was a reason Team Trump (Greer, Bessent) had to meet Team Xi in Geneva and not in Asia during the U.S-China trade discussions.
China is making massive economic moves inside and around Europe as an offset to lost position in North America. In case you haven’t noticed, Europeans are starting to drive BYD’s (Build Your Dreams), while Merz angrily eats his strudel. Xi’s industrial capacity is much stronger than Brussels’ ability to withstand it.To keep the pitchfork proles from noticing the mounting economic losses, Macron, Starmer and Merz have been pushing Ukraine/Russia shiny things. Gaza presents another opportunity to cloak the naked European emperors.
They are.
• Trump’s Peacemaking Efforts Undeniable – Putin
The efforts that US President Donald Trump is putting into resolving international conflicts cannot be disputed, Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday, commenting on whether the American leader deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. Trump hsa repeatedly stated that he should be given the award, but the Norwegian Nobel Committee snubbed him earlier in the day, instead selecting a Venezuelan opposition politician as this year’s recipient. The committee has a record of honoring people who “did nothing for peace,” Putin remarked, without calling out any specific names. Conversely, Trump “is really doing a lot to resolve difficult crises, which last for years and decades,” he added.
The recent mediation in the Middle East, if it leads to “Donald achieving all his goals, everything he said he wants to do, would be a historic event,” the president added. Putin said that he considers Trump’s attempts to mediate an end to the Ukraine conflict genuine, adding, “some things we managed to do, others we didn’t, but the discussions that we had in Anchorage still have the potential to achieve a lot. What is certain, is that he is putting in the work.” Trump and Putin met in Alaska in mid-August, with talks primarily focusing on the Ukraine crisis. The Russian president said it was not his place to decide who should or shouldn’t get a Nobel Peace Prize, but he asserted that some of the past unmerited selections had largely discredited the award. Putin was speaking at a press conference in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, where he took part in a summit of national leaders of the Commonwealth of Independent States, a regional post-Soviet intragovernmental organization.
They look good.
• ‘The EU’s Worst Nightmare Has Never Looked So Real’ (RMX)
After the election of Donald Trump, conservatives in Hungary were rejoicing, but nobody could have predicted the recent wave of subsequent wins: Nawrocki in Poland, Babis in Czechia, of course, we already have Fico in Slovakia, and now perhaps even Macron in France.In the words of Politico, “victory for Marine Le Pen’s National Rally is now distinctly possible.”On no.
In their article aptly titled “The EU’s worst nightmare has never looked so real,” a National Rally win would mean “a Euroskeptic, far-right figure might soon speak for France in the EU’s core institutions, adding to a growing chorus of populist, right-wing voices.”
“We are used to continuing to function with a lot of shocks,” boasted a European Commission official. Said “shocks” rightfully included war in Ukraine and Covid-19 lockdowns, but this official made sure to also include “a kind of light dictatorship in Budapest.” Because dealing with Orbán is allegedly on par with Russian aggression and a global epidemic…But somehow, the EU has bravely functioned… so far.Because now, a win for Le Pen (her party) would destroy everything, so the ruling autocrats in Brussels maintain.
At stake are sanctions against Putin, support for Ukraine, NATO integrity and EU-wide defense policy, and—sacred to the EU—climate regulations and green energy. Oddly, the article fails to mention anything about illegal migration and the EU’s migrant quota scheme. On the topic of Ukraine, peace seems far off. Zelensky has extended martial law and canceled elections this month, Moscow is threatening “consequences” for the use of U.S. Tomahawks, and former Kremlin chief Dmitry Medvedev was in North Korea, where he ominously stated: “The friends are together. The enemies are getting nervous,” reports Welt.
For many, a change in tack in Brussels couldn’t come soon enough.
