"The Night Trump Saved Christmas" (opens in separate window)

developments

friday, december 26th, 2025

The frantic ceremonies of Christmas shopping climax now. . . the stockings are hung by the chimney with care. . . and the republic judders into the darkest season of an evil era. You fear the one gift you have waited for lo these twelve months will not be delivered: the frog-marching of Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Strzok, HRC, Mayorkas, Monaco, Rosenstein, Priestap, Halper, Yates, Lynch, Garland, Wray, Haynes, Sullivan, Schiff, Warner, Eisen, Elias, Weissmann, Jack Smith. . . and many other deep state treason-goblins into the maw of a federal courthouse for processing like so many mackerel in a cat food cannery. “No arrests!” is the melancholy cry heard from sea to shining sea.

It’s true. A whole year ticked by and no accountability for the immense decade-long free-ranging crime-spree against our country by so many government officials. Did I leave out Mr. Obama? Yes. He would probably have to dangle as an “unindicted co-conspirator,” cuz president, and all. But maybe not. It’s open to interpretation, I grant you. . . assuming anyone in the Trump DOJ could actually get serious and move a folder off his/her desk. Anyway, Christmas is upon us and the MAGA minions sulk in despair. No arrests!

And no Epstein files for you either, Tiny Tim, after all this hassling, haggling, screwing-around, trash-talk, innuendo, duplicity, dissimulation, and subterfuge. What is in there, do you suppose, that the country couldn’t take? Photos of Bill Clinton riding Ghislaine Maxwell like a bucking bronco? Larry Summers naked as a manatee in the shallow end of the Little St. James pool? Tom Hanks chowing down on a roasted human heart? You see: that’s where the mind goes when the truth is withheld.

Anyway, Dan Bongino, good old Danny Boombatz, has left the building, visibly sadder but wiser. He is — no sarc here — a first-class American patriot. Do not doubt that. He surely took the job as Deputy Director of the FBI because the president importuned him to do so, and how can you say no when a president calls? Yet, something happened to him in FBI HQ, some dark passage into altered consciousness, and now he is out.

It’s pretty obvious that he missed his wife and children, and his former life in Florida, and his days on the mic in his studio. . . and that he had to suffer being quartered on some dreary DC military base for his safety the whole time he served the FBI. I suppose he accomplished quite a bit of a routine, plodding, law enforcement nature — catching bad guys and such all year. But. . . and it’s a big but. . . he was not able to effectuate the rounding-up of the aforementioned deep state villains we all know about — and hardly anyone knew more about that gang than Danny B — and it must have really grated to see them all still out there, flapping their gums on MSNBC.

He connected the dots, month after month and year after year, on his celebrated podcast better than any reporter in whatever pathetic remnant of the news media still exists. He remembered all the names (as he always reminded his audience to do). He saw how the whole treasonous saga played out from RussiaGate to Arthur Engoron’s malodorous courtroom and he knew exactly how all the pieces fit together. And the whole year he was at the FBI he kept his mouth shut out of a sense of duty.

Which leads you to wonder, what might Dan Bongino have to say now that he is out of the FBI inner sanctum? He had a year to sift through every document stashed in the J Edgar Hoover building, including, probably, a shit-load of incriminating memos and emails from the days of McCabe and Wray, all that stuff they found in the burn-bags. Did he have to sign some kind of non-disclosure document? Are there arcane regulations that we don’t know about constraining former FBI employees? Will his enemies — who are also enemies of the people — try to kill him now that he is on-the-loose?

I guess we’ll just have to stand by and see what happens with Dan Bongino, just as we have to stand by on where anything might go at Kash’s FBI and in Pam Bondi’s DOJ — and just about everybody in the public arena is piling on AG Pam Bondi these days. She’s in a tough spot. Can’t really bring any prosecutions in the hopelessly compromised, woked-up, DEI-infested, Trump-deranged DC federal court district — where so many treasonous crimes were committed. So, the work-around for that has been to tie all the ten years of treasons and seditious acts into one skein of a RICO case, allowing the DOJ to run a prosecution for all of it out of the Southern District of Florida, because that’s where one of the more recent crimes occurred in a chain of conspiracy: the unpredicated raid into Mar-a-Lago by Christopher Wray and prosecutor Jack Smith. It also works around various statute of limitation issues.

That case is underway, under Judge Aileen Cannon and prosecuting US Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones, but apparently will not go to the grand jury until sometime in the new year. So, you will just have to cool your jets a bit longer.

One other thing: will White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles do some ‘splainin’ about what possessed her to shoot her mouth off at Vanity Fair, one of the most out-front, scurrilous enemies of the president and his voters in all the mosh pits of Woke-gay-retarded journalism? She sat with their writers eleven times in 2025, and the result was a hit piece on the whole Trump White House. How does this square with everybody saying she’s the savviest Chief of Staff to ever haunt the West Wing? Can you figure how she doesn’t deserve to be fired for that?

A Day In The Life.

Up at 8:30a on Friday, a balmy 52°F, sunny, breezy morning, I upped the heat, made coffee, fired-up the Win-7 Pentium HP Desktop to let its 32 million lines of code load, had an onion bagel for breakfast, had a couple smokes in the garage and checked the leftover errands list. I scanned the weather and news, tuned into the "CP Show LIVE" at 9, and relaxed for the morning. Today and next week are clear, so Sherry can come by at 2p today, and we can enjoy the beautiful day together.

The R/S buttock/lower back/hip pain wasn't too bad this morning, so I got some small condo chores done, got ready for the day, and made lunch. I scanned the news and weather, to get caught-up on the day.

Wow, around 1p, sustained 50-60+mph wind coming from the West, and a massive snowstorm following in 10-15 minutes, hit the area. Snow blew over top of the York area, kissed Harrisburg and headed Northeast. Temps dropped 10-15° in a few minutes, and I went back inside to a warm condo. The local Net sites were deluged with ***HIGH WIND WARNING*** and ***SEVERE WIND WARNING*** notices all thru the day and into the night. I decided to stay in, until tomorrow, to get 2 errands done.

It was a treat to watch hate-filled leftist and liberal heads explode on camera (in various FR articles), when whining/crying/moaning about the new Trump-Kennedy Center For The Performing Arts. Hilarious!

I watched part of the evening news, then watched Discovery's "Gold Rush" and "Gold Rush: Mine Rescue", TWC's "Weather Gone Viral" and History's "The unXplained", until 1a, and unplugged.

I slept-in until 10:30a on Saturday, a sunny, windy, nippy 31°, upped the heat, made coffee, and scanned the news and weather. I had English Muffins & Sausage Gravy for breakfast, got ready for the day, and left to get the 2 errands done, so I could work around he condo, in the afternoon. And I did.

I scanned the news and weather on my HP desktop, had breakfast, got ready for the day, ran the 2 errands, and was back around 2p. After lunch, I took a 2hr nap, woke-up in the dark, had more coffee and watched the evening news. I switched to Discovery's "Expedition Unknown" until 1a, and bagged it for the day.

Up at 8:30a on Sunday -- the first day of Winter, or Winter Solstice, and shortest day of the year -- a sunny, very windy, 41° morning, I upped the heat, made coffee, had a couple smokes in the cold garage, and scanned the news and weather. The usual stuff. After breakfast, I got ready for the day and started a load of laundry. Need some exotic Butter & Dairy? That's the world's largest collection, from one of my favorite, and longtime (since late-90s), online gourmet stores.

I'm STILL having email problems, but have solved my "Low Disc Space" problem on C:/ drive, partly thanks to Sherry's 'detective work' on my 4 external WD drives. (((SIGH))) I'll keep working on it.

I did paperwork and a small condo chore, until mid-afternoon, and went out for a short walk around the complex. No nap today. I tuned into History's "American Pickers", watched the evening news, had dinner and watched History's "American Pickers" until 12:30a, and unplugged.

Up at 8a on Monday, a sunny, cold 24° morning, I upped the heat, made coffee, tuned into the "CP Show LIVE" (sub-host is there for the week), and got the day organized. I listened to the "CP Show LIVE" with the usual sub-host until 11a, got ready for the day, and left for my Monday 3+stop trip, at 12noon. Traffic was EXTRAORDINARILY HEAVY (surprise!) and I got thru it as best I could. 2+ hrs for a 45min trip.

After unloading the Jeep, I had a late breakfast, did a couple condo chores, and took a 2hr snooze on the LR couch. Back up in the dark, I lit the condo, and tuned into FNC News, then switched to MT's "Iron Resurrection" and History's "Ancient Aliens" until 1a. Lights out. My cleaning lady's in at 8:30a.

Up at 5a on Tuesday, a lightly-snowing, 34°, 0-DARK-THIRTY, morning. I just couldn't get back to sleep. I upped the heat, made coffee, fired-up the HP esktop, scanned the weather forecasts and news headlines. This preliminary notice was posted for Friday:

★★★ WINTER STORM WATCH ★★★

• WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM FRIDAY MORNING THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING...
• Heavy mixed precipitation possible. Total snow and sleet accumulations up to two inches and ice accumulations between one tenth and three tenths of an inch possible..
• Lancaster and York Counties.
• From Friday morning through Saturday morning.
• Hazardous travel conditions are likely. Plan on slippery road conditions. Power outages and tree damage are possible due to the ice. The hazardous conditions could impact the Friday morning and evening commutes.
• Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.

JoAnne arrived at 8:30, got to work, and I stayed out of her way until she finished and left close to 11:30. No errands or anything to take me onto the clogged roads, so I worked on some desk paperwork and "wheedled down" the pile. I did some outdoor front porch/walk and back patio clean-up of leaves, and swept-out the garage. The days are still short, coming-off Sunday's Winter Solstice on Sunday, so I wrapped it up and had the last of the morning's 2nd carafe of Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee.

I made an early dinner, watched the 6p evening news and switched to History's "Curse of Oak Island" and "Mysteries UnEarthed", until 12:30a, and bagged it for the night.

Up at 8a on Wednesday -- Christmas Eve Day -- a bright, sunny, windy 39° morning, I upped the heat, made coffee, got a printer ink package delivery from Amazon (I miss the formerly nearby Staples where I could get such stuff instead of spending so much money with Prime), and tuned into the "CP Show LIVE" W/ Sub Host, from 9-12. The CHCA Complex had a large Maple tree go down on Friday, with the high wind, and the tree service company, deluged by clean-up jobs all over the area, worked to get it removed and cleaned-up. Noisy, but they got it done.

Sis and I drove over to Mt Rose Cemetery's Victorian Chapel of Memories, to visit Mom & dad, and she left, while I did a nearby errand, but otherwise stayed-off the roads, and kept an eye on the looming Winter Storm weather forecast, watched the 6p evening news, had dinner and watched Discovery's "Expedition Unknown" until 1a, and unplugged.

Sleeping-in until 10:30a on Christmas morning, I upped the heat, made a carafe of coffee, scanned the weather and news, and got ready to go to Sis' condo for Christmas Lunch/Dinner, at 1p. Spiral-cut Honey Baked Ham, 4 Sides and Sis' coffee, and I was full, after carving-up the rest of the ham, and containerizing it, for her 'World Famous' Pa Dutch Ham & Bean Soup, tomorrow. I stopped and got 2 6-packs of Sam Adams 'White Winter Ale', and was home by 3:30p, and had stuff to do around the condo, so no nap.

WTF! The one mild analgesic painkiller I use, has now been singled-out for adverse effcts. Natch.

I watched the evening news, had a small dinner, talked to Sherry, and switched to MT's "Iron Resurrection" until 12:30a, and bagged it for the night. Lights out.

Tomorrow starts a new week, here in the "Journal", and I have a mid-week Dr's app't, but a clear slate, otherwise. Time to get 2025 put away and get the shiny, new 2026 out.

The media effort to Bidenize Trump.

President Joe Biden’s two biggest liabilities were his senility and the damaging inflation his administration helped create. Now, some media commentators are trying to convince Americans that President Donald Trump has the same liabilities.

On the topic of senility, in recent weeks, the president’s adversaries have tried to argue that the 79-year-old Trump is suffering from the infirmities that were so obvious in Biden by the same age. Last month, the New York Times published a much-discussed article, “Shorter Days, Signs of Fatigue: Trump Faces Realities of Aging in Office.” The article said, “Mr. Trump, 79, is the oldest person to be elected to the presidency, and he is aging.”

Trump is clearly an immensely more energetic man than Biden was. But the New York Times suggested that it is just an image that Trump and the White House try to project. “Nearly a year into his second term,” reporters Katie Rogers and Dylan Freedman wrote, “Americans see Mr. Trump less than they used to, according to a New York Times analysis of his schedule. Mr. Trump has fewer public events on his schedule … He also keeps a shorter public schedule than he used to. Most of his public appearances fall between noon and 5 p.m., on average. And when he is in public, occasionally, his battery shows signs of wear.”

The framing of the story was similar to earlier reporting on Biden’s senescence, at least the reporting that got through the media’s self-censorship of coverage of the Biden problem. If Trump appears to nod off at a long White House event, it’s just like Biden! The New York Times went through a list of particulars familiar to readers of left-wing social media: Trump’s MRI, the bruise on his right hand, speculation about whether Trump takes a weight-loss drug, and more. The New York Times also suggested that, during a period of intense foreign-policy work by the president, Trump “is traveling domestically much less than he did by this point during his first year in office, in 2017, although he is taking more foreign trips.”

That’s a reach. Trump is doing more of the more punishing travel, and less of the less punishing travel, and that shows he is slowing down? Non sequiturs aside, the point of the New York Times piece was clear: Trump is like Biden. It’s an astonishing position to take, given that so many in the press covered up Biden’s condition, but there it is.

On the issue of inflation, the president’s adversaries are now arguing that Trump, during whose brief term inflation has gone from 3% year-over-year in January 2025 to 2.7% year-over-year in November, is making the same mistake as Biden, during whose term inflation went from 1.4% year-over-year in January 2021 to 9.1% year-over-year in June 2022. The reasoning is that Biden tried to downplay inflation, and now Trump is trying to downplay inflation.

One could argue that downplaying 9.1% inflation is substantially different from downplaying 2.7% inflation. One could additionally argue that voters can see it is substantially different. But equating the two is necessary to suggest that Trump is recreating Biden’s problems, so some in the press do it.

So how do you combine the senility and inflation issues into a general Trump-is-Biden theory? Consider this, from New York Times podcast host and former National Public Radio reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro on CNN Thursday, commenting on the president’s economic speech. “This is not Trump 2.0,” Garcia-Navarro said. “This looks like Biden 2.0, because not only are we seeing the president making the same mistakes … but this is a weakened leader. He is aging … He sounds like an aging man who is angry. And whatever vitality and ability he had to connect with people looks to be very, very quickly dissipating. And so, what you’re seeing, I think, is a replay of what happened to Joe Biden happening to Donald Trump.”

Do you think that is what you are seeing? It is hard to imagine two presidencies being more different than Trump’s and Biden’s. Yet now, some in the opposing party, apparently still stung by the disastrous end of the Biden presidency, see a political advantage in trying to convince voters that Trump is somehow a repeat of Biden. That is particularly strange, given that from 2021 to 2025, some of these same people were defending Biden against the accurate charges that he was too infirm to be president and that his policies made inflation worse.

Of course, Trump-is-Biden is just one small part of the resistance to Trump. It’s nothing compared to the investment many in the press have made in alleging that Trump was somehow involved in the crimes of the dead convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It’s nothing compared to the Russia allegation that dominated much of Trump’s first term. Perhaps it’s a way for some media figures to unburden themselves of the embarrassment they feel for covering up Biden’s disabilities, and to take a poke at Trump at the same time. In any event, you’re likely to hear more of it.

Digital ID, and the digitisation of all things, is the greatest risk humanity faces.

I do not know how many more times I will have to bring up the subject of the AI takeover; digitisation, digital ID, algorithmic confinement and technocratic incarceration that are being built and advanced at a pace that is obviously far beyond the scope of the common American plebiscite. This is the most crucial issue of our lives, and it has mostly been relegated as one piece among a plethora of distractive tyrannical events, without any cognitive awareness whatsoever that the digital usurpation of our existence is the end of all freedom and property, and possibly the end of mankind as we know it. Even with survival, the only resulting conclusion is that all those remaining will be slaves of a master class of evil technocrats.

But it gets even worse, because this “new” digital existence also depends upon and includes the total weaponisation of “healthcare,” medicine and the long-planned technological transformation of mankind. This aspect of human domination is dependent on weakening or destroying the human body, mind and soul as it exists, in order to eliminate the human spirit through a eugenic strategy, while rebuilding compliant cybernetic organisms. (Cyborgs) Robotics immediately comes to mind, but it is much bigger than that; it is the intentional fusing of human and machine at multiple levels, including through neuroscientific nanoscale brain-computer interfacing. The preparation for this linking-up of human and computer is already highly developed.

While I will not get into the advanced state of meshing human and computer at the cellular level, I will say that these techniques are already happening and are in place. The transformative methods used are known in the abstract, but most have no clue that this has been going on for years, effectively altering the human state. Some of the methods being implemented that are meant either to dumb down, medically harm, brain interface via nanotech self-assembly and control through AI, are “vaccines,” especially the “covid” bioweapon, stratospheric aerosol injection geoengineering (chemtrails), most if not all mRNA platforms, precision medicine and possibly genetically modified food and health products. Delivery of these nano-structure building blocks will only become more advanced with time. Evidence of this technology is obviously showing up in the “vaccinated,” but also now in the unvaccinated.

The bottom line is that humanity is purposely being taken over, and by multiple means. This is why allowing digital ID, and the digitisation of all things, is the greatest risk we face. Everything else from the standpoint of total control is rather irrelevant, because once the control mechanisms of monetary, financial, medical and physical dominion of the human mind and body are in place, it will be too late to reverse. The only solution lies in education and exposure of what is happening to us, and the realisation by a critical mass to not comply and obey and to completely avoid all government systems in order to cause enough havoc so that the ruling class loses its grip on the masses. This does not mean that all have to participate, but large numbers in unison are necessary to stop this technological transhuman invasion.

This is biometric warfare based on a democidal culling of much, if not most of humanity. This plan is at minimum 100 years old, and has been pursued over time incrementally, but also continuously. Today, we are on the precipice of disaster, and the advancement of AI is the linchpin of the entirety of the Globalists’ plan for a technocratic one-world system of governance. We have arrived at the endgame, which means there is little time left before the end of this so-called human experiment.

I must state the obvious, as it appears that nothing has been learned about this heinous system over the past 250 years by this propagandised and brain-dead population; this after 60 insane presidential elections, hoping that new masters would save the day. Of course, all has worsened perpetually over the entirety of this country’s existence.

Voting is worthless and a trick of the State. Protest is worthless. Petitions are worthless. Civil unrest is worthless. Demonstrations are worthless. Writing to your evil, criminal congressmen is worthless. I had a comment from someone just this week saying that “he was watching and seeing a lot of people calling for the privatisation of industry.”His take is common, but very misplaced. His thought was that this was a sign of dissent, and if people begged the Government (master and ruler) enough, the State would acquiesce and cease the tyranny. “Calling for” the State to not harm you any longer, is simply begging your chosen masters to not abuse, terrorise or murder you, due just to your asking them to stop. Slaves (cattle), as you all are considered, cannot ask their ruler to not rule.

What is called for here is the elimination of the State in its entirety. This means active and forceful removal of the ruling system by whatever means necessary. This means collapsing the State monetary and financial system period. This does not have to mean aggression or violence unless as self-defence. It does mean, however, that as many people as possible (many millions) have to abandon, ignore, disobey and not comply with any order against real freedom. No digital ID ever! No Federal Reserve. No fiat or digital currency. No “health” or medical mandates. No wars. No militarisation of any kind in this country. Without this absolutely honest and vehement resistance, nothing of any value will be achieved.

The only result of failure to negate the State entirely, to eliminate the State and all its power, is the voluntary acceptance of your enslavement due to mass ignorance, indifference and cowardice. The choice is yours, each of you as individuals. Personally, I would not lose any sleep if most wanted government and wanted to be ruled as slaves by government, except for the fact that your inability as a gigantic, useless, collective horde to protect your own lives and freedom causes great harm to all of us who are willing to destroy this murderous system for the sake of life and family.
