When Resistance AWFLs Don’t Realize Not Every State Thinks Their Tantrums Are Adorable

We’ve discussed AWFLs (Affluent White Liberal Females) many times before here on the blog, but the recent unpleasantness in Minnesota, coupled with a deeply ingrained progressive mental disease sweeping the country like a pandemic, seems to have triggered some latent call to action in their febrile brains. So rather than making angry TikTok videos in kitchens and bathroom mirrors, they are hitting the road, literally. The AWFLs have been recording menacing messages of ill intent, promising harm to come, and practicing haiku or whatever sort of martial arts they think is trendy.

#USTOO: Men are fed up with female insanity. Here’s what they tell me.
https://www.theblaze.com/align/ustoo-men-are-fed-up-with-female-insanity-heres-what-they-tell-me
‘Empowered’ women without prudence or accountability are ruining lives — and destroying society…I know of two licensed mental health counselors, both gay men, who will no longer accept female clients because it is too dangerous to be alone behind closed doors with women. Even if you’re gay…I.E. Bob, hotel executive – Sam, husband – Gary, piano teacher – Alex, aspiring husband and father – I have some ideas about what needs to change in order for American men and women to build fulfilling lives with each other again.
1) The family has to be put first again, not last.
2) Leftist derision of traditional family values needs to be loudly mocked and excoriated. It’s time those on that side are made to pipe down the way they’ve been shutting up the right since the 1960s. Or, in Archie Bunker terms, “stifle it.”
3) Men have to stop accepting this shrew behavior from women. And they have to take the risk of being called “misogynist” in the interim period while women scream and object. We have to go through the problem and take the wounds before we can get to peace on the other side.
4) Sane women ***(and there are a lot of them; they tend to be married with children and conservative) will need to put social pressure on the bitch contingent. Don’t maintain friendships with women like this, and tell them why. Defend your husbands and the male sex when your girlfriends talk them down. Turn their mean-girl rhetoric right back on them.

When the women in your family go nuts
https://disaffectedpod.substack.com/p/when-the-women-in-your-family-go
From friends, consulting/counseling clients, and from reading online, I’m hearing from a number of men whose female family members, mainly but not exclusively their mothers, have become impossible to bear. Yes, it’s about woke/Trump/the election. Or about abortion, or LGBTQ, or about feeding “migrants,” or about any of the other bugbears that obsess today’s leftists…We have been out of balance in the home, and in society, for a very long time. If we can fix this, it will take a very long time. I think we must. Men, I’m asking you again to pluck up your courage (we’ve all gotten really wimpy) and start saying “no” to this kind of excess in your wives or girlfriends or family members. No, it won’t make you popular in the short term. Yes, it may mean in some cases that you have to withdraw from a relationship or put more distance there for a time.

The subversive instruction manual, (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oPQ_p63J0kK2oGfY-O77q06cqBh4MuH9/view) which was apparently published in 2024, advocates for “pulling and pushing an officer off of an arrestee and/or breaking their grip on an arrestee”; helping arrestees escape by carrying handcuff keys to protests and opening the doors of law enforcement vehicles; and “totally surrounding the officers who have the arrestee or otherwise blocking them and/or their vehicle.”

Trump Threatens To Invoke Insurrection Act As Left-Wing Chaos In Minneapolis Spreads
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/left-wing-chaos-continues-minneapolis-federal-vehicles-looted
In response to overnight left-wing chaos, what can only be described as the Democratic Party’s “George Floyd 2.0” attempt, President Trump wrote on Truth Social about the very real possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act. The Insurrection Act would allow Trump to deploy active-duty military forces or federalize the National Guard within the Democratic-run state to restore order as Democrats allow left-wing groups to go rogue. The act has not been invoked **since the 1992 Los Angeles riots. (Q: Where can you get a fully automatic weapon? A: from looting federal vehicles – jlr)

“Only Good Agent Is A Dead One”: It’s Time for The Insurrection Act, Trump Prepares To Act
https://gellerreport.com/2026/01/only-good-agent-is-a-dead-one-its-time-for-the-insurrection-act-trump-prepares-to-act.html/
“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State,”
The Insurrection Act, an 1807 law, has not been invoked since the 1992 Los Angeles riots. The order allows the president to deploy the military to suppress rebellions and enforce federal laws. If invoked, it would grant Trump the authority to federalize the National Guard and deploy active duty forces to restore order. It would temporarily override the Posse Comitatus Act, which normally restricts the use of the military for domestic law enforcement.
(I.E., Martial law would be declared. Arrestees would be tried by a military tribunal, not civilian courts. And possibly detained in GITMO – jlr)

The Morning Briefing: Aging Melba Toast Mobs Are Further Proof of Dems’ Irrelevance
https://pjmedia.com/stephen-kruiser/2026/01/15/the-morning-briefing-aging-melba-toast-mobs-are-further-proof-of-dems-irrelevance-n4948325/
Sometimes it feels as if the Democrats have been in a state of continuous protest since the morning of Nov. 9, 2016. I know that they didn’t wait long to kick things off after it was announced that Donald Trump would be the 45th president of the United States. Leftist politics are inherently immature (“Daddy, I want an Oompa Loompa and I want him NOW!”), so thoughtful responses to any opposition are impossible. They just get their public sector union goons to offer unemployed people a ride and a free lunch, then tell them to “protest.” After 40-plus years of conservative activism, I am a veteran of quite a few, um, interactions with Dem-supported protest groups. I really got to know them during the Tea Party years — especially the frothing Occupy Wall Street loons. Believe me when I say that there are no organic protests on the left — they’re all the result of coordinated, astroturfed agitation.

Sorry, only bleeding heart liberals are going to feel bad for this kid, who got shot in the face with a rubber bullet by federal agents while trying to interfere with an arrest. The best way to avoid getting shot by law enforcement is to not interfere with their operations. You people don’t have some special shield that protects you, and feelings aren’t a defense. Those who don’t follow that simple, common-sense rule get the Renee Nicole Good treatment, aka being buried six feet under.

Independence Spreading Across State Lines
Fellow Texan,
While most Americans were still nursing their New Year’s resolutions, lawmakers in New Hampshire filed a bill to study independence. That’s not a typo. The question of self-determination is spreading—and Texas is leading the way.

New Hampshire Follows Texas’s Lead on Independence
House Bill 1441 heads to a public hearing in Concord on January 23rd. If passed, it would create a commission to study the economic, legal, and social implications of New Hampshire exercising its sovereign rights—including outright independence.
The NHEXIT movement, which we’ve worked alongside for years, is mobilizing supporters ahead of the hearing. I’ve joined their calls, compared notes with their organizers, and watched them build something real. This isn’t a copycat effort—it’s a parallel movement that’s been developing for years. But there’s no question that Texas’s momentum has helped fuel independence conversations in statehouses from Concord to Juneau.
If you can’t make the trip to New Hampshire (and I don’t expect most of you can), you can still help. Contact New Hampshire legislators and tell them you stand with the principle of self-determination. When the question gets asked in Austin, we’ll want friends who asked it first in their own capitals.
What this means: Every state that seriously examines independence makes it harder for critics to dismiss TEXIT as a fringe Texas obsession. This is becoming a national conversation.

https://texianpartisan.com/global/north-america/new-hampshire-legislature-to-consider-independence-study-commission/

The Treason Myth Collapses Under Its Own Weight
Every time we gain ground, someone trots out the scare tactic: ‘Secession is treason. You’ll all be arrested.’ It’s designed to shut down the conversation before it starts. And it’s completely wrong.
Here’s the history they hope you never learn. After the Civil War, federal prosecutors arrested Jefferson Davis and charged him with treason. If anyone could be convicted for secession, it was him. They held him for two years—then dropped the charges. Why? Because Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase himself admitted that bringing Davis to trial would ‘condemn the North, for by the Constitution, secession is not rebellion.’
Treason requires levying war against the United States. Sedition requires force to overthrow the government. What are we doing? Asking the Texas Legislature to give you a vote. That’s democracy, not rebellion. Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution lists everything states can’t do—coin money, grant titles of nobility, make war without being invaded. Withdrawing from the union? Not on the list.
What this means: The legal foundation for TEXIT is solid. Don’t let fear tactics silence a conversation the Founders never intended to criminalize.

Cherokee County: How Independence Gets Built
Monday evening. Milano’s Pizza in Rusk. Six volunteers. Two hours. Twenty-five conversations. One new supporter.
That might not sound like much to the Austin crowd that measures success in press releases and donor checks. But David Breunig and his team understand something the political class doesn’t: movements are built one conversation at a time, in restaurant meeting rooms and church fellowship halls, by people who show up when nobody’s watching.
The evening’s best moment? A man who’d attended a previous event brought his wife to learn more. She signed up. That’s how it works. Personal relationships drive political change. Cherokee County launched as an official TNM county group last June. They’re one of dozens of counties now actively organizing. And every one of those counties is a building block for the day we finally put this question to a vote.
What this means: We don’t need permission from Austin or Washington. We need neighbors talking to neighbors in all 254 counties.
Read the full story: Volunteers Build Independence Movement in Cherokee County
David Breunig didn’t wait for someone to organize Cherokee County. He stepped up. Your county needs someone like that. Maybe it’s you.
Connect with Your County
The conversation is spreading—from Texas to New Hampshire, from the Partisan to the statehouse. Keep talking. Keep showing up. That’s how we win.

Texas Nationalist Movement
P.S. If you’re in New Hampshire or know someone who is, that hearing is January 23rd at 1:00 PM in Concord. Show up if you can.

The AWFUL Truth About Minnesota
https://wilderwealthywise.com/the-awful-truth-about-minnesota/
Ah, the AWFULs. If you haven’t heard the term yet, it stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. It’s the kind of acronym that makes mainstream media clutch their pearls…The term bothers them because it’s true… AWFUL isn’t just a label. It’s a symptom of a society where their ascendant political power has left GloboLeft women unfulfilled and GloboLeft men emasculated. AWFULs are modern versions of those women Orwell wrote about: fanatical, slogan-chanting, spying on “wrongthink” via social media. They police language, cancel dissent, all while their weak men nod along. Orwell knew. Without strong men, women become the regime’s enforcers.

MSM Melting Down Over New Term For Liberal White Women
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/msm-melting-down-over-new-term-liberal-white-women
…the liberal media has found yet another offensive word to whinge over…the objectionable term is the acronym AWFUL, which stands for Affluent White Female Urban Liberal. Another variant is AWFL…The acronym so scandalized the New York Times that it even tattled to the Department of Homeland Security about it and its growing popularity…After years of using terms like “Nazi” and “fascist” against Trump and Republicans, the paper’s outrage over AWFUL rings hollow. . The acronym simply states observable demographic and ideological facts. Affluent, white, female, urban, and liberal are not slurs. Yes, the acronym is clever, but its implied criticism is far milder than the relentless, extreme rhetoric the New York Times has long published against the right, particularly President Trump.

New York City’s Democratic Socialists of America effort to assemble a highly organized anti-ICE army of purple-haired leftists to impede federal deportation operations is particularly alarming because the planning phase was apparently being done at an upscale Midtown headquarters of the Chinese Communist Party-linked People’s Forum, a venue littered with pro-Communism rhetoric…Most concerning is that a dark-money NGO network tied to a CCP-linked communist billionaire, Neville Roy Singham, was allegedly at the center of this anti-ICE chaos and potentially seen as a command-and-control support node to organize nationwide protests.

I have the strange feeling this gentleman had a pistol AR and then decided to swap uppers to cosplay Pro-Illegal-Alien Tactical Neighborhood Watch. If my guess is right, I wonder if he knows that legally he can go from pistol to rifle, but going back the pistol way is a violation of Federal law.

President Donald Trump recently conducted an interview with CBS News, and the White House is pushing for the interview to be aired in its entirety rather than the network include deceptive edits. Of course, the usual suspects on the Left are using this to claim that the White House is bullying poor journalists into submission. Take a look at some of their posts on X crying about the situation:…

“Things I didn’t have on my bingo card today: Justice Jackson defending the racist Black Codes as precedent for what we should consider constitutional,”…Supreme Court Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson used legislation passed as part of the post-Civil War “Jim Crow” laws Tuesday to justify a Hawaii gun control law.

Democrat Somali Declares Minnesota Neighborhood a ‘No-Go Zone’ for White Americans
https://americanjournaldaily.com/dem-somalis-racism/
…a series of posts on X showing Fateh standing in front of the Cedar Riverside towers alongside two other men. “Cedar Strong. White Supremacists aren’t welcome here. We protect our own,” the post read. When pressed by journalist David Marcus, who wrote that Americans do not allow “no-go zones,” Fateh doubled down, replying, “This is a No-Go zone for white supremacists.”…Don’t mistake this for a simple slip of the tongue. This wasn’t a gaffe; it was a confession from Minnesota State Senator Omar Fateh. He is openly promoting the creation of an autonomous enclave on American soil, a place where his political opponents are barred from entry and where a private force, not the police, keeps order.

Schumer Vows to Restore All DOGE Cuts And Increase Spending If Democrats Win Midterms

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats will push to restore federal funding cut under the Department of Government Efficiency and potentially increase spending beyond prior levels, as lawmakers continue negotiations over the 2026 budget. Schumer made the comments Thursday when asked whether he would work to replenish funding for the Department of Housing and Urban Development during a forum hosted by the Center for American Progress… “If you look at the budget we’re working on right now, we’re restoring most of the cuts. And even go higher than previous years on many of the programs that DOGE slashed.”

California Progressives Push Wealth Tax on Billionaires, Citing Migrant Voter Power
https://americanjournaldaily.com/ca-progressives-migrants/
Progressives are using migrants’ voting power — and threats of a populist revolution — to grab a huge share of Silicon Valley’s stock-market wealth via a tax plan on California’s November ballot. “You made all your money in California, you ungrateful piece of shit,” Kara Swisher, a progressive journalist in California, told one of the billionaires targeted by the ballot initiative. “We deserve the taxes from you,” added Swisher, who is wealthy, far-left, childless, and pro-migration…And there you have it. The mask isn’t just slipping anymore; it’s been ripped clean off. This isn’t some complex political strategy—it’s a heist, plain and simple. For years, Democrats have orchestrated a border crisis, creating a massive dependent class that looks to the government for everything. We are now witnessing the endgame. They are weaponizing this population to create a permanent voting bloc that will gladly vote to confiscate the wealth of American citizens.

The Migrant Shelling, Ethnic Cleansing of Ireland Continues Unabated

Aside from the ethnic cleansing itself of a noble people, the most sadistic aspect of the all-out globalist siege of the Emerald Isle — catapulting wave after wave of weaponized migrants onto its shores — is that Ireland did not participate in any of the historical sins that allegedly justify the same punishment for other European nations.

The release also mentioned that private companies using DEI practices could face legal liability under state and federal law…The opinion doesn’t carry the weight of law, but it could influence agency executives, school officials, and local governments to abandon DEI initiatives.

I don’t know how this will go because you are not talking about a bunch that is properly armed and even less trained, but then again you just need a couple of idjits with guns to down a Fed or two and the response will be a return of very accurate fire, the very possibility of “protesters” rushing towards the Feds shooting and the obligatory downing of idiots These is the same state where several morons rushed against Kyle Rittenhouse, so yes, I believe that may happen.

They are not standing for “compassion.” They are waging street-level enforcement for a political ideology that shields rapists and killers from deportation. This is not protest. This is organized lawlessness—using violence to protect the worst criminals in the country and daring anyone to stop them.

And the silence from those who claim to oppose “hate” is deafening. It’s the same house of worship that was bombed by the Ku Klux Klan in 1967. Yes: We have a problem with resurgent anti-Semitism and leaders who seed it and flirt with it.

How to Protest Safely
https://vineofliberty.com/2026/01/14/how-to-protest-safely/
While protesting, in and of itself, is not protected by our Constitution, American do consider it to be a right. As with all things, though, there is a right and a wrong way to go about it. We’ve all seen plenty of the “bad” way of doing it on social media of late. So let me share with you the same information I shared with my children when they wanted to join a protest at school…
If all of the above is not being taught to you by the people organizing your protests, then they are not safe people. Stop, walk away.
They may only be ignorant, which is dangerous…or they could be using you as cannon fodder, which is even more dangerous, for you.

KBJ Comes Up With a New Word in SCOTUS Trans Athletes Case That Has Everyone in Stitches

What the heck is “cisginger”? I thought perhaps I misheard it and listened to it a few times to make sure. But it wasn’t slurred; it was quite clear. Does that mean a redheaded kid who still identifies as a redheaded kid? Um, that’s called reality. But it’s an example of how people toss around invented terms like “cisgender,” and, in this case, don’t even know what they are saying.
It instantly made me think of South Park and how they mocked the subject, jokingly referring to “transginger.”

A law subject to the “strict scrutiny” standard, which involves a fundamental constitutional right, might have a greater need to be perfectly tailored than a law that does not fall under the purview of a bedrock constitutional right.

The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the FBI searched the home of one of its reporters, claiming the raid was part of an investigation into Aurelio Perez-Lugones. Perez-Lugones is a Maryland resident who was working as a systems engineer and information technology specialist for a government contracting company when federal authorities arrested him. He has maintained Top Secret security clearance since at least 2000, according to a January 9 affidavit. Federal prosecutors accused Perez-Lugones of printing screenshots of a Top Secret report, as well as writing classified information on a notepad and taking the sheets of paper home. When authorities searched his home last week, they allegedly found multiple documents that were marked as Secret, including a document found in his lunch box.

Trump’s Art of the Deal Was Always The Art of War
https://newsletter.amuseonx.com/p/trumps-art-of-the-deal-was-always
Why Trump’s Second Term Reads Like Sun Tzu in Action. Trump’s second term is not chaotic. It is adversarial. It is strategic. Confusion is cultivated because confusion fractures coalitions. Uncertainty is maintained because predictability benefits opponents. Pressure is applied with exits because domination without destruction is the goal. Sun Tzu is not a prophet of brutality. He is a theorist of economy, discipline, and foresight. Trump’s second-term statecraft aligns with that tradition. He governs as if politics is war by other means, and as if war should be won before it is fought.

Civil War

Chris and I have talked a bit about the possibility of Civil War. I’m not sure it will happen, mostly because I believe the vast majority of millennials are just too damn lazy to rise up, but also because I trust in Pres. Trump to keep things under control.

However…

I believe Tim Walz and others like him are actively attempting to start a Civil War. I don’t mean that figuratively. I don’t mean it as a metaphor. I believe he actually wants to whip up his constituents to a froth and send them out as cannon fodder against ICE, DHS, and other authorities.

Walz posted this on X on January 7th, after the Good shooting. A number of conservative friends said it was just Walz posturing, flapping his arms and making noise to stay relevant. I don’t think so. His words were exceptionally clear: “To Donald Trump and Kirsti Noem: You’ve done enough. We have soldiers in training, and prepared to be deployed, if necessary.

If he had ordered the National Guard to stand against ICE and/or DHS (and thank the gods he did not), he would have started a Civil War. Or tried to. He would have asked Minnesota NG to face off against a Federal authority, present and following the President’s lawful orders. Ordering local authorities to stand against Federal authorities is, essentially, the definition of Civil War.

I have no idea if Walz is intelligent enough to have figured out that what he’d said was almost but not quite a declaration of war against his own country’s government. Someone in his office must have, because after that tweet, he changed his tune and was overly clear about the NG being deployed ONLY to do traffic and local law enforcement.

I hope to hell that Trump or one of his advisors called up Walz’s office and had a little chat, explaining how bad that would be for everyone and for our country. I hope that Walz and his cronies got the message. I doubt they did, though. They knocked it down one notch, so they wouldn’t get impeached or arrested, but they’re continuing their ridiculous defense of rapists and murderers.

I don’t know how to deal with the people on the Left who are making noises like ICE is horrible. I have had a handful of people I’ve known long enough to consider them “not liars” even if I think they’re uneducated and not thinking right, who are telling tales about ICE. The stories go that ICE is picking up American citizens who have their papers on them, throwing them into dark, dank, moist detention centers with no toilets, no water, no food, and no access to lawyers or telephones. They’re kept there for hours upon hours (most of the stories talk about 8 to 16 hours, but less than 24, and they’re very specific about it being less than a day), have to beg passers by to let them out to pee, and are denied health care for injuries caused by ICE. They give names of ICE agents. They detail how they were sorted into “citizens and non-citizens” early on in the process, so ICE knew they were Americans. The stories go on and on.

When I go to research it, I can’t find any of the information. The names come back empty. There’s no other people making the claims, even though in the stories there are many people being detained. It’s relatively obvious to me that they’re JUST stories, and have no basis in the truth. But of course I can’t ask for proof, because that’s a hanging offense. Even when I say, hey I’d like to get the word out but you know I only pass on things I can verify (a longstanding moral on my part, I *will not* pass along stuff without bone fides included, and have not for many, many years)… crickets.

It’s exhausting. I’m mentally wrecked most of the time now. The left gets more and more frothy, and impossible to talk to or get information out of. They don’t seem to understand the basic “boy who cried wolf” issue that’s going on. Right now, I just assume anything from the left is wrong, either a lie, an exaggeration, or whatever. I have to, because I just don’t have time to investigate *everything* that’s thrown at me. I have a job, I run a household, I have relationships to tend to and children to watch after. So if something truly bad actually happens, I’m just going to ignore it, and assume it’s the same bullshit rhetoric they’ve thrown around every other time.

And just briefly before signing off, a few words on Iran.

In the 1979 timeframe (give or take a couple of years… I was just a kid who didn’t know shit about politics at the time and I’m going on memory here), I had a friend whose family was moving to Tehran. They had planned it for quite a while. And then the regime change happened, and suddenly their entire world fell apart. They didn’t go to Tehran, and I’m glad, because I firmly believe they’d be dead. I would have been 7 or 8 when it happened. The only reason I remember that, from my very privileged place in society, was because it interfered with a friend’s travel plans.

Iran went from being a fairly modern country to being a third world shit hole in very short order. Women were not allowed to work, first, and they had to cover their hair. Then they weren’t allowed to drive. Then they couldn’t be on public transit or out and about without an adult male family member. Then they had to keep their entire bodies covered with voluminous robes. Then the full burka, covering everything but the eyes. A few years ago the Iranian government decided eyes could be too alluring, and had blackout panels put into place in the burkas, so that you couldn’t even see a woman’s eyes. In 2021 or 2022, they decreed a woman shouldn’t speak in public.

Last night, I watched a live video feed out of Tehran, of women dancing in public, wearing nothing but miniskirts and white tee shirts that said “Fuck Khomeini” on the front in large, English letters. No shoes, no head coverings, no long arms, no tights or stockings. Bare skin, hair, eyes, and minds exposed to the evening air for the first time in almost 50 years. I saw a photograph of an Iranian woman lighting a cigarette from a burning Khomeini flag. I listened to hundreds of thousands of Iranians chanting “Iran! Iran! Iran!” I am witnessing history.

This is people from ALL walks of life, which is why it’s not slowing down despite Khomeini’s attempts to murder every protester. Cutting off the internet didn’t silence them. There are young people there, risking their lives to demand freedom from oppression, REAL oppression. They risk being shot, because the authorities there are using live ammunition to “put down” the protesters. Many are being arrested, and they’re starting to shoot and hang them. They’re going to their deaths with their hands held up in signs of victory, afraid but incredibly brave. There are youngsters who were born after Khomeini took over, and who’ve never known a day of freedom, never seen a free Iran. There are middle aged people who had their childhoods viciously and violently ripped away from them. There are old people, who remember the freedom of pre Khomeini Iran, when the Shah was trying to bring the country out of the dark ages and into the light. Those old people have whispered the stories to their children, and grandchildren, and great-grandchildren so that they didn’t die.

When Karen from Minnesota says she is oppressed because she can’t have an abortion or because we’re enforcing our immigration laws, I point her at the women of Iran. THAT is what oppression is, and THAT is how it’s fought. With dancing. With singing. With praise. With joy. Not with temper tantrums and lies.

Civil War 2.0 Mid-Month Update: Setting The Stage
https://wilderwealthywise.com/civil-war-2-0-mid-month-update-setting-the-stage/
Minnesota is the current flashpoint in our march towards Civil War. How does this finally spin out of control into a full-blown Civil War 2.0? One avenue is through collisions of authority. To be clear, Civil War 2.0 doesn’t have to start during Trump’s administration. It’s more likely to, though –
Keep in mind, that even if you are a middle-of-the-road “both sides suck” voter, you are a Nazi to them. They reveled in the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and were driven to ecstasy by the death of Charlie Kirk– They want you dead,  and replaced by a more compliant populace.

Dystopian Science Fiction vs. the Anti-ICE Karens

“It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”
-George Orwell, 1984
The phenomenon of feral anti-ICE Karens currently running riot across the country is what happens when childless women — who don’t believe in God or anything else but are starved for meaning — decide, spurred by savior complexes instilled in them via culture, to adopt society as their children and turn an entire country into their infants to be protected from the bad men…The bad men who, in this context, per Social Justice™ dogma, are white men trying to fend off the Third World invaders lured into every Western country by the globalist power structure in order to undermine and rot them from within ahead of consolidation into a sprawling techno-dystopia free of the vestiges of national sovereignty.

At one of the anti-Trump/No Kings/50501/Indivisible rallies I covered last year, I overheard one white woman complain about the lack of young people and people of color coming out to protest the evil President (King) Donald Trump and his ICE enforcement to rein in illegal immigration. While I cannot speak for young people, as a person of color, I know for a fact that Blacks and Hispanics are pretty much over Affluent White Liberal Females (AWFL) and their self-centered campaigns against not only the duly elected president that many of us voted for, but against the rule of law.

Chinese Regime Helps Dox ICE Officer Rammed by Renee Good
https://pjmedia.com/catherinesalgado/2026/01/11/chinese-media-helps-dox-ice-officer-rammed-by-renee-good-n4948146
The CCP state propaganda outlet Global Times is participating in the leftist effort to demonize and dox the officer. I did not link to the Global Times article so as not to participate in the doxxing — the article names the officer — but while the Chinese government outlet claims in the article that video of the event does not actually support the ICE account, it is noteworthy that the article does not include a video with it. The reality is that we have up close video of Good’s lesbian partner daring the officer to come at her as she acts aggressively toward him, and Good herself deliberately guns her car into the ICE officer as hard as possible at very close range, which could have killed him…a foreign government, the most hostile government to the United States, is fueling leftist hatred against the ICE officer and doxxing him. Put another way, the CCP is deliberately trying to help trigger a terrorist uprising in the United States. At this point, it would hardly be surprising to find out the Chinese entities are among those funding the paid protesters screaming about Good on many U.S. cities’ streets.

Is a Wealth Tax Coming to California?
https://patriotpost.us/articles/124092-is-a-wealth-tax-coming-to-california-2026-01-09
The failure of politicians to keep the books in order has left the Golden State desperate to make up for massive revenue losses.
Billionaires begin to exit California: California Democrats’ plan to impose a wealth tax on billionaires is creating a predictable result: rather than staying and having their wealth looted by the state government, at least six billionaire residents are planning to move out. Topping the growing list of billionaires fleeing the Golden State are Google co-founder Larry Page and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel. Six billionaires left before New Year’s Day to avoid a potential one-time 5% tax on all their assets exceeding $1 billion. Democrat lawmakers in the state have pushed this wealth tax, which residents will vote on in November. Silicon Valley investment firm co-founder Divesh Makan has been helping billionaires leave the state, and he estimates that as many as 20 additional billionaire families will move out. Given that California has roughly 200 billionaires, that’s no small number.

Minneapolis ICE Shooting Shows Left Wing’s Protest Industrial Complex Wants Another ‘George Floyd’-Type Riot
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/minneapolis-ice-shooting-shows-left-wings-protest-industrial-complex-wants-another-george
…the Democratic Party is desperately seeking another George Floyd-style protest or riot to shift public opinion about Trump’s expanded ICE deportation operations nationwide, which are deporting criminal illegal aliens out of the country. If we understand that mass migration has been used by the party in an attempt to build a one-party-rule (California-style) nation, then we can see why these on-the-ground pressure campaigns against ICE even exist in the first place.

The Winter of Love
https://vineofliberty.com/2026/01/10/the-winter-of-love/
It is my belief that the only reason we are not seeing massive riots already is the temperature is too low. It is too cold for a good riot. If the weather changes for the better, it is likely we will see riots. If it doesn’t, it would not surprise me even a little that the media keeps things at a low simmer until it is warm enough for the riots to happen. DefCon 3 right now, people. As it warms up, DefCon 2. Keep strapped, keep your head on a swivel, stay away from stupid places, stupid people. Nothing good happens after midnight.

Courting death to own the Nazis

None of these ICE-watching women appear to have the slightest idea of the gravity of their actions. Objectively speaking, they are each of them playing a dangerous game of chicken. Their ever-present aim is to edge beyond being a mere nuisance and cause meaningful disruptions, while hoping always to stop short of becoming a serious, actionable threat…A shooting like this was inevitable given the protest tactics at hand, and more shootings will follow. Each one will be decried by the activist left, and should a protestor ever kill an ICE agent instead, the protesters won’t miss a beat in celebrating his death.

Police said there had been no calls at the home prior to the shocking incident.

Minneapolis ICE Shooting Shows Left Wing’s Protest Industrial Complex Wants Another ‘George Floyd’-Type Riot
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/minneapolis-ice-shooting-shows-left-wings-protest-industrial-complex-wants-another-george
MSM, the Democratic Party, and left-wing nonprofits are working hard to manufacture another ‘George Floyd’-type protest or riot by omitting key context about the woman shot and killed by an ICE agent. They conveniently left out her social justice “warrior” role in Minneapolis, including her reported involvement with “ICE Watch” and other operations to disrupt ICE raids in the sanctuary city. These details matter because MSM attempted to manufacture an outrage news cycle, while nonprofits create artificial multi-city protests aimed at shifting public opinion on ICE operations nationwide.

Just well-off women with pronouns in their bios and too much time on their hands. He described them as attention-seeking harpies who push extreme gender ideology, drag their kids to medicalized gender clinics, and parade them at sexualized drag shows labeled as “family-friendly.” These are the same people, he argued, who want to defund the police, defend criminals no matter how violent or foreign, and censor anyone who steps out of line with their diversity-and-inclusion gospel.

Libs of TikTok highlighted an August 2019 post that read, “Private property including and kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as ‘wealth building’ public policy.”

‘Seize private property’: NYC’s socialist mayor taps communist sympathizer to lead office to ‘Protect Tenants’
https://www.theblaze.com/news/seize-private-property-nycs-socialist-mayor-taps-communist-sympathizer-to-lead-office-to-protect-tenants
…an undated video resurfaced on social media of the activist discussing her goal to eliminate private property ownership. “I think the reality is, is that for centuries we’ve really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good,” Weaver stated in the video. “And transitioning to treating it as a collective good and towards a model of shared equity will require that we think about it differently. And it will mean that families, especially white families but some [people of color] families who are homeowners as well, are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have.”

The federal judge overseeing Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro’s case cut off the ousted leader as he tried to defend himself in court on Monday, according to several reports. Judge Alvin Hellerstein, a Clinton appointee, interrupted Maduro to say he was only asking for his identity, noting “there will be time and place to get into all of this,” according to the New York Times. Both Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, pleaded not guilty during their arraignment in Manhattan. (What did they expect? – jlr)

Sanctioned oil tankers try mass run at US blockade of Venezuela
https://www.bizpacreview.com/2026/01/05/sanctioned-oil-tankers-try-mass-run-at-us-blockade-of-venezuela-1613960/
At least 15 U.S. sanctioned oil tankers have reportedly broken the complete blockade of Venezuelan oil exports since the Saturday capture of ousted socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro, using so-called “dark mode” tactics to evade capture. Four tankers, now some 30-miles off port, were tracked by satellite sailing east…These tankers did not secure authorization from the new interim government led by Maduro’s former vice president, the NYT reported citing internal communications and two anonymous sources in the Venezuelan oil industry. The remaining ships have not been located and are not broadcasting any signals. “The embargo on all Venezuelan oil remains in full effect,” President Donald Trump said

Hilton Hotels Is About to Have a Very Bad Week After What They Just Pulled in Minneapolis
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/amy-curtis/2026/01/05/hilton-hotels-dhs-n2668912
They’ve decided to opt for the Bud Light Treatment and align themselves with the Left’s anti-Trump “Resist” movement. How? By denying hotel rooms in Minneapolis to government officials. Both the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have called out the hotel mega-chain. “When officers attempted to book rooms using official government emails and rates, Hilton Hotels maliciously CANCELLED their reservations,” DHS wrote on X. “This is UNACCEPTABLE. Why is Hilton Hotels siding with murderers and rapists to deliberately undermine and impede DHS law enforcement from their mission to enforce our nation’s immigration laws?” DHS also shared an email from a Hilton employee with the subject “Upcoming reservation.” In the email, the employee wrote, “After further investigation online, we have found immigration work connected with your name, and we will be canceling your upcoming reservation. You should see a proper cancellation email in your inbox shortly from Hilton.” Another screenshot shared another message that read, “This email is in regards to the reservation you made with the Hampton Inn Lakeville property. We have noticed an influx of GOV reservations made today that have been for DHS and we are not allowing any ICE or immigration agents to stay at our property. If you are with DHS or immigration, let us know as we will have to cancel your reservation. Please pass this info to your coworkers that we are not allowing any immigration agents to house on our property.”

As North Korean media reported on Monday, Kim, the Hermit Kingdom dictator — hilariously dubbed “Little Rocket Man” by President Donald Trump during his first term — observed test flights of hypersonic missiles and emphasized the need to strengthen the country’s nuclear war deterrent. While Kim has puffed out his chest and made more ridiculous bluffs than most of us can remember throughout his vice-like grip on the Hermit Kingdom, surely he’s not insane enough to think he could win a nuclear war with the United States, right? Dunno. But I do know that if he were foolish enough to try, North Korea would likely be reduced to a smoldering parking lot if necessary.

Judge Resigns After Conviction for Helping Violent Illegal Immigrant Evade ICE Arrest

In her resignation letter, Dugan had the audacity to frame her criminal actions as a noble crusade, claiming she is fighting for an “independent judiciary.” Give me a break. A truly independent judiciary is one that is free from political bias and loyal only to the law. What she did was the exact opposite: she allowed her radical politics to command her, turning her into an activist who happened to wear a robe. Her fight is not for the independence of the judiciary; it is for the supremacy of her own ideology over the rule of law. It is the arrogant belief, common among the liberal elite, that the rules don’t apply to them if they are acting in the service of a cause they deem righteous.

Etiquette Is Civilization: How Manners Make Freedom Possible

… When adulthood carries no honor and no expectation, people stop aspiring to it. You wind up with a nation of self-indulgent toddlers…The result is a paradox familiar to anyone living in a bureaucratized society: the more formal rules are added, the worse public behavior becomes. Not because rules are evil, but because rules cannot substitute for internal restraint. This is where “Karen” behavior emerges, not as a personality flaw, but as a learned strategy.

The Simurgh, the majestic bird of Persian lore, traditionally described with the head of a dog, the claws of a lion, and the tail of a peacock, embodies centuries of pre-Islamic wisdom, resilience, and the inherent power of the people. From the epic verses of Ferdowsi to the Sufi parables of Attar, the Simurgh now soars through protest art, poetry, and social media, offering a potent counter-narrative to the centralized authority of the Ayatollahs. An ancient myth has taken flight, becoming a powerful symbol of resistance against the clerical regime in Iran.

Why Arresting Maduro Was Legal, Lawful, and Long Overdue
https://newsletter.amuseonx.com/p/why-arresting-maduro-was-legal-lawful
The arrest of Nicolás Maduro has been described by critics as an act of war. That description is mistaken. It misunderstands both the legal posture of Maduro himself and the nature of the action taken against him. The operation that resulted in Maduro’s capture was not a declaration of hostilities against Venezuela. It was the execution of a long-standing criminal indictment against an individual who, under US law and widely accepted principles of international law, was never entitled to the protections of a lawful head of state.

Former President Joe Biden’s long career in politics allowed him to retire with the largest taxpayer-funded pension of any ex-prez in US history — $417,000, or more than his presidential salary, an expert says. Biden, 83, was in line to rake in the massive amount from two pension funds in his first year as former president, according to an analysis by National Taxpayer Union Foundation Vice President Demian Brady.

Out of all the dumb protest signs, the middle one takes first place in the Tim Waltz championships. By the time they designed, printed and marched with this sign, Maduro was well on its way to breakfast in America and all military personnel were back to their transports or points of origin. There was no bombing to be stopped, but never let an old worn out slogan go to waste.

Why We Need the Gold Standard
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2026/01/lew-rockwell/why-we-need-the-gold-standard/
“It is easy to understand why people viewed the gold standard as the symbol of this greatest and most beneficial of all historical changes. All those intent upon sabotaging the evolution toward welfare, peace, freedom, and democracy loathed the gold standard, and not only on account of its economic significance. In their eyes the gold standard was the labarum, the symbol, of all those doctrines and policies they wanted to destroy.”

Oil and gas prices expected to stay significantly lower through 2026
https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/oil-gas-prices-expected-stay-significantly-lower-through-2026
The national average for gasoline fell to $2.83 per gallon to start 2026, marking the fifth straight week of declines and the lowest prices Americans have seen so far this year. Hawaii remains the most expensive state at $4.42 per gallon. (almost EVERYTHING, except sand, coconuts, hot lava, pineapples, and fish is imported to Hawaii – jlr)
Oklahoma is the cheapest at $2.24, and the lowest-priced markets are now in the low-$2 range as refineries boost output and demand remains seasonally soft.

Leftists Lose It Over Post Declaring Christmas Is About Christ
https://amac.us/newsline/politics/leftists-lose-it-over-post-declaring-christmas-is-about-christ/?
DHS released at 11:18 a.m. on December 24: “Merry Christmas, America. We are blessed to share a nation and a Savior.” Journalist James Surowiecki had this to say: “A government agency endorsing Christianity is blatantly, comically unconstitutional. But blatant unconstitutionality is par for the course for this administration.” Notorious neocon and Never-Trumper Bill Kristol, meanwhile, declared the post, which included a 90-second video of iconic Christmas footage, to be “un-American” and “un-Christian.” (Yes, that’s right – Kristol’s Trump Derangement Syndrome has apparently become so severe that he now believes declaring the truth of Christmas to be “un-Christian.”)

LAWFARE AGAINST AMERICA: Soros-Backed Group Trains Jurors to Sabotage Trump Trials
https://gellerreport.com/2025/12/lawfare-against-america-soros-back-group-trains-jurors-to-sabotage-trump-trials.html/
A Soros-backed NGO network is now openly working to subvert the American justice system from the inside. A newly formed Washington, D.C. group, Free DC, tied to Community Change and Community Change Action, is reportedly training residents to infiltrate juries as so-called “skeptical jurors” in federal cases involving President Trump and his administration. Co-founder Alex Dodds openly boasted that jurors possess “enormous power” not merely to weigh evidence, but to judge the administration itself. Critics warn that these sessions amount to instruction in jury manipulation and trial rigging — conduct explicitly prohibited under 8 U.S.C. §1503, which bars efforts to corruptly influence jurors or obstruct justice. This is not activism. It is lawfare — and it strikes at the heart of the rule of law.

The ability of the average American to remain convinced that the entire World is just like them is rather cute.
Folks, fraud and bribery is the norm in the Third World. In tribal cultures fraud and bribery are not only the norm, but are the rule . If the average American reader takes nothing else from this essay, please understand that fraud and bribery are not crimes in the Third World; that fraud and bribery are not only not crimes in tribal society, but they are expected, required, and a perfectly acceptable part of every day tribal life. And Somalia is not only Third World, but it is excessively tribal.

Senate Dem Vows to Oppose New Pro-2A U.S. Attorney
https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2025/12/29/senate-dem-vows-to-oppose-new-pro-2a-us-attorney-n1231056
“Despite good-faith efforts at a bipartisan nomination process with the Trump White House, the MAGA Department of Justice insisted on a MAGA stooge with neither the qualifications nor temperament for this position. There will be no blue slip, and we will be rid of him soon enough.” Added U.S. Sen. Jack Reed: “Despite our good faith conversations with the Administration, they chose a partisan interim appointment. Rhode Islanders deserve a capable U.S. Attorney who can serve them long-term.” Whitehouse, you might remember, was one of several Senate Democrats who threatened to pack the Supreme Court with anti-gun justices if the Supreme Court took up the case New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. City of New York (which was ultimately mooted when the city and state changed the challenged law). In a bizarre amicus brief, Whitehouse and three other Senate Democrats declared that any effort by the Court to “expand the Second Amendment and thwart gun-safety regulations” should come to a screeching halt. If not, they suggested SCOTUS would need to be “restructured in order to reduce the influence of politics.”

Liberals have been very clear that they view even speech—even SILENCE—as violence, and have created what is now called an “assassination culture” that celebrates Luigi Mangione, and inspires people, including doctors, teachers, judges, and some political commentators to celebrate the death of political figures they hate.

What people seem to not want to understand is that this level of corruption is a WAY OF LIFE for most Africans! Their whole culture revolved around stealing from others to enrich ‘their’ family. ‘Their’ family means literally their direct family, followed by their tribe, followed by other Somalis. As far as they are concerned, it’s them against everybody else, and they will use anything they can to win. The Somalis have not ‘acclimatized’, ‘assimilated’, or anything else. They’ve huddled up by family and tribe, excluded any American influences, and continued their Somali lifestyle in MN.

https://gellerreport.com/2025/12/nothing-is-done-when-high-crimes-and-treason-go-unpunished-the-republic-is-already-lost.html/
Looking back at 2025, the most stunning takeaway is the sheer, almost incomprehensible scale of Democrat criminality: high crimes committed openly, systematically, and with total impunity—without prosecutions, without reforms, without consequences. Power insulated itself from law, corruption was normalized as governance, and accountability was erased as an operating principle. In a functioning republic, crimes trigger investigations and punishment; in 2025 America, they triggered silence, cover-ups, and escalation. What shocked the nation was not merely the wrongdoing, but the unmistakable message it sent: the law no longer applies to Democrats

Even Governor Gavin Newsom knows this is insane, but he’s just a passenger on a runaway train driven by radicals. Don’t fool yourself into thinking this is just a California problem. It’s a preview. This is the future the left wants for the entire country. This is the rot that President Trump’s America First, pro-business agenda is designed to stop. What is happening in California is a clear and present danger, a warning that when you stop rewarding creators, you are left with nothing but takers.

That essentially makes Janus a doorman, presiding over entrances and exits, beginnings and endings, contracts and transitions.

10 Gun Laws Just Changed in December — Most Gun Owners Missed This
video – 00:16:20 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWZ3mtrO5M0
In this video, we break down ten major gun law changes triggered by recent December federal court decisions that are already reshaping firearm ownership across the United States. From carry permits and interstate travel to ammunition purchases, privacy protections, and assault weapon bans, these rulings directly affect how law-abiding gun owners can legally buy, carry, transport, and own firearms in 2026. Many of these changes are happening quietly, without mainstream media coverage, leaving millions of gun owners still operating under outdated rules that no longer apply. If you care about the Second Amendment, gun rights, and staying legally protected while exercising your freedoms, this is information you cannot afford to miss.

The Intermittent Missive – Post Holiday Mania

December 24th:

Joyous Noel, part 4 – Where-in my muse sweeps back in, yelling, “And another thing!”

https://thelawdogfiles.substack.com/p/joyous-noel-part-4
This one started out on my drive home from work, as I suddenly pictured the Flickerfox crouched by a stove in a dark apartment, creating fire.

This one I didn’t plot, it just flowed onto the screen, like my stories usually do. Originally it was a lot darker, but I’m not in the mood for a grim, bleak Christmas this year, so I scrapped the original ending in favour of something a little more Hallmark.

Of course, once the ending had changed, I had to go back and fix the first part to make it mesh better. And then the middle didn’t match the two ends …

While it is darker than the others I’ve written about the Flickerfoxes, it isn’t as dark as the first draft. Holy gods. The ghost of Hans Christian Andersen — who wrote ‘The Little Match Girl’ — read the original version and asked, “So, umm, everything okay at home, buddy?”

Sigh. I hope y’all like it.

In the shadowed streets of the city where the wind howls like a starving wolf, there lived a little girl. Her tenement crouched at the edge of the slum, its roof sagging, and its windows filmed with smoke and grime. Inside, her parents lay sprawled on filthy pallets, needles strewn carelessly about, eyes glassy, chasing dragons in the depths of their minds while the old wood stove stood cold and black.

Winter that year was crueler than most. Grandfather Frost had come early, his long white beard trailing hoarfrost across the land, his breath a killing wind. He walked the world with his staff of frozen bone, tapping once here, twice there, claiming what was weak or forgotten. And he had marked the little girl’s door.

The girl, no more than seven winters old, huddled beneath a threadbare blanket, her lips blue, her fingers numb. The last log had burned to ash days ago, and her parents not bothered to gather more wood. Outside, the temperature plunged until the stars themselves seemed to crack, and the aurora — dancing like music made fire — grew until it flickered over her home.

It was then that the Flickerfox and the Flickervixen appeared, slipping through the veil between worlds like shadows cast by a dying flame. Dressed in green and gold, his fur sparkling like a campfire seen through glass, hers the more sedate shimmer of coals in a fireplace.

The Välkkykettu, grim of countenance, looked silently about the filthy apartment. “Look upon this sorrow,” he murmured to his wife, his voice a crackle of dry leaves in a bonfire. “The child fades, while the fools who birthed her feed their own demise.”

Mrs Välkkykettu, her golden eyes fierce with maternal fire, hurried to the child, removing her cloak of green velvet. “Husband,” she said, gathering the child to her, “This kit is cold.” She settled in front of the stove, the girl — wrapped in her cloak — in her lap.

The little girl, feeling the gentle warmth of Mrs Välkkykettu, and smelling pinon pine and cinnamon cookies, roused, staring wide-eyed at the Flickerfox.

Smiling cheerfully, the Välkkykettu reached into his cloak, and with a flourish, produced a chunk of log, placing it into the belly of the cold, black stove; then he stripped off his gloves, and theatrically gestured with his hands — first the front, and then the back — as if he were a magician on stage, proving he had nothing hidden.

With a mischievous waggle of his eyebrows, the Flickerfox briskly rubbed his paws together, and with each stroke a shower of green sparks fell upon the wood; in mere moments emerald, amethyst, and gold flames flared and then danced merrily.

Safely ensconced betwixt the warmth of the fire, and the warmth of the Flickervixen — and with worry smoothed from her mind — the little girl dropped into easy slumber.

He came at midnight, a tall figure cloaked in blizzard, eyes like frozen lakes; his beard a tangle of frigid barbs. The door slammed open though no hand touched it, and snow swirled in, seeking the child.

The Välkkykettu stepped between his wife and the figure in the door, paws folded calmly, an impish smile playing. Mrs Välkkykettu laid the child — still wrapped in her cloak — in front of the fire, and rose to stand beside her husband, primly brushing off her skirt.

Grandfather Frost regarded the foxes with winter’s patience. “The child is mine,” he said, his voice the scrape of ice on stone. “Her blood slows. Her heart falters. She belongs to the long sleep.”

The Flickervixen regarded him with golden eyes that burned like a bonfire lit on the longest night of the year. “No,” she said, simply.

“Not this one,” murmured her husband, calm but unyielding. “Her fire is low, but it still burns. Seek others, Ancient One.”

“This,” the reply was the hiss of snow driven before a relentless wind, “Is not your demesne.”

Mrs Välkkykettu laughed softly, “You speak to spirits of Chaos about domain?” Violet sparks ran through her fur, and her growl slipped around the room, promising blood and fury, “Be about your business — elsewhere.”

The elder winter spirit tapped his staff on the floor, once. “There,” twice he tapped, “Are,” and thrice, “Laws.”

Green sparks ran across the teeth in the Flickerfox’s smile, “You wish to counsel foxes about laws?” Blue and green sparks ran along his fur, and when they landed on frost, small auroras danced and twinkled about the room. “My bride has desired that you be about your business, Old Frost-bite.”

“Very well,” Grandfather Frost titled his head. “A bargain, then. The child lives. These others … they have long been mine.”

The Flickervixen looked at her husband, who — not taking his eyes off the ancient spirit of Winter they faced — flicked an ear.

Grandfather Frost extended one pale hand. Rime raced across the floor like spilled milk, climbing the parents’ legs, encasing their limbs in crystal. Their eyes opened briefly — glazed, uncomprehending — then closed forever as the ice reached their hearts. In moments, only two figures in glittering hoarfrost remained, faces locked in faint, foolish smiles.

Task done, the old winter spirit inclined his head to the Flickerfoxes, almost courteously. Then he withdrew, taking his killing wind with him, the door closing behind him without a sound.

The nurse stepped out of the Emergency Room onto the parking lot, talking a slow breath of cold, crisp air. Flexing the stress of a night shift out of her neck, she rolled her head back, and with a gasp of delight, saw the undulating dance of the Northern Lights overhead.

She was chuckling with pure joy, when the flicker of a street lamp caught her eye, and in the space between flashes, she suddenly saw a small bundle in the snow.

Curious, she walked to it, and found a card pinned to green velvet. Smelling faintly of spice and sandalwood, the card had only a short address written on it … and then the bundle whimpered softly.

Moments later, the nurse ran into the hospital shouting for assistance and carrying a little girl wrapped in a green velvet cloak.

In the hour before dawn, when the dark is deepest, and reindeer pull hard for their barn and fresh hay, the police officer walked as softly as he could into a hospital room. On the bed, a tiny figure lay amidst the tubes and hoses and wires, sleeping peacefully despite the noise of modern medicine.

Beside her, the nurse sat in a chair, gently stroking the child’s forehead, as the officer entered, she rose quietly and met him at the door.

“Is everything …”

He shook his head. “No. Welfare check found both passed.”

She sighed, gently, “Now what happens to her?” she nodded to the bed.

He blew a soft breath, “They were both frequent fliers. Addicts with the usual addict crimes. No next of kin was ever listed for either one. No family contacts what so ever.”

“So, what happens to her?”

“I don’t know.”

She squared her shoulders, suddenly fierce. “I’m not leaving her alone.”

Seeing the swift fire, he grinned, looked around, and sat down in a chair, setting his hat in his lap. She looked at him, startled, “What are you doing?”

He smiled, “I’ve got nowhere to be. And I like it here.”

She settled into her chair by the little girl, listening to the small child noises, and he cleared his throat.

“I’ll need your phone number. For the report.”

She looked across the room for a long time.

“Ok.” She paused for several breaths, then whispered, “Merry Christmas.”

His smile was easy and warm in the shadows of the room, “Merry Christmas.”

Somewhere far off, Grandfather Frost walked on, staff tapping softly, seeking the next door left unlocked by despair; while above an ancient forest where two bottlebrush tails thumped an exultant rhythm, the foxfire danced to the ancient truth that some lights must be kindled anew, while others are best left to fade.

The concert was free, so it didn’t cost the Center in that sense.

The Day After Christmas

Twas the day after Christmas, and all through the house,
Every creature was hurtin’ even the mouse.

The toys were all broken, their batteries dead;
Santa passed out, with some ice on his head.

Wrapping and ribbons just covered the floor,
While upstairs the family continued to snore.

And I in my T-shirt, new Reeboks and jeans,
I went into the kitchen and started to clean.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the sink to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the curtains, and threw up the sash.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a little white truck, with an oversized mirror.

The driver was smiling, so lively and grand;
The patch on his jacket said “U.S. POSTMAN.”

With a handful of bills, he grinned like a fox.
Then quickly he stuffed them into our mailbox.

Bill after bill, after bill, they still came.
Whistling and shouting he called them by name:

“Now Dillard’s, now Broadway’s, now Penny’s and Sears
Here’s Robinson’s, Levitz’s and Target’s and Mervyn’s.

To the tip or your limit, every store, every mall,
Now chargeaway–chargeaway–chargeaway all!”

He whooped and he whistled as he finished his work.
He filled up the box, and then turned with a jerk.

He sprang to his truck and he drove down the road,
Driving much faster with just half a load.

Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer,
“ENJOY WHAT YOU BOUGHT…….
YOU’LL BE PAYING ALL YEAR!”

Prepare Now for Gavin Mania
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/12/prepare_now_for_gavin_mania.html
Glib and sounding intelligent while saying little of substance, Gavin Newsom is essentially a taller, whiter, and less cunning version of Barack Obama. Gavin is not the electoral bantamweight many conservatives claim. At 6’4” with heavily moussed hair, Gavin will be taller and at least as well coiffed and youthful-looking as his GOP opponent. (Although it sounds shallow to highlight Gavin’s physiognomy, let’s acknowledge that an electorate shallow enough to elect Obama and Biden is also capable of electing Gavin.

World leaders from government, business, civil society and academia will convene in Davos to engage in forward-looking discussions to address global issues and set priorities. The call for bold collective action makes the meeting particularly relevant…Officially, the 3,000+ self-important delegates will ask how we cooperate in a contested world, unlock new growth, re-skill workers, deploy innovation responsibly, and build prosperity within planetary boundaries. The unofficial answers will sound familiar: more technology, more surveillance, more depopulation — and fewer hard limits on the people designing the systems. You know, a continued bloating of the peon class for the exploitation of these sinister overlords.
