JOHN EASTMAN IS DISBARRED! Today the California Supreme Court reaffirmed and finalized the ejection of a principal coup conspiracist from the legal community. See him soon at a Taco Bell near you.

It's nice to know that the Iran War is over and we won 🏆 (Er, why are warships still intercepting ships off Hormuz?), that the FBI will absolutely take Epstein survivors seriously if they want to phone in (Didn't we see some 309s here a while ago?), and all of the Epstein material has been released?

If El Gordo really thinks that this depicts him as a "doctor," he is woefully ignorant of Christian imagery. Eagles for doves, Old Glory for The Cross, Special Ops for angels and the Holy Spirit. Perhaps he should go back and read some of his "many favorite" Bible verses that he loves so much.

Well, howdy there BlueSky people, it's Dan again. So, today, let's talk about J D Vance's failed mission to Turkey. With him lusting after the presidency, isn't it strange that he was the figurehead of the Kushner-Witkoff bunch that wasn't going to succeed? Is he being cut off at the knees?

Orban has conceded! Elment! This shows how powerful an overwhelming vote, even to an autocrat in power for 26 years. Remember this for the Referendum, the primaries, and the November elections. Do you want 3 more years of this clan show?

As of 3:30 EDT, 37% of Hungarian parliamentary election votes have been counted, Peter Magyar's Tisza party leads 51% to Viktor Orbán's Fidez party's 40%. Tisza leads in 95 of Hungary's 106 constituencies. 🇭🇺

The recent University of Michigan consumer confidence poll fell to its lowest level...ever, 47%. The average gas price in the US stands at $4.10 and is heading for $4.20, and the effects of the Strait shutdown are only now beginning to hit refineries. Tired of winning?

Thanks to everyone who came out to the Culpeper Library for my info session on the redistricting referendum. All had a good time, and we all learned something.

Sigh. There is no depth to which El Gordo will not sink in his desperation to make sure his memory is not erased the moment the moving van leaves 1600 PA. No worries, Donnie. We'll remember you for a long, long time. The Lincoln Memorial is but 99 ft in height.

Lady Melania has asserted publicly that: a) Epstein did not act alone; b) she had no relationship with Jeffy or Ghislaine; and c) CONGRESS SHOULD HOLD PUBLIC HEARINGS WHERE SURVIVORS WOULD TESTIFY UNDER OATH! OK, Congress, get with the program. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

As part of the brilliant diplomacy practiced by the Son-in-Law in Chief and the real estate guy, Iran has announced that Hormuz is mined and the only safe passage is through the "Ayatollah" booth on the north end on the Strait. Strange how that works.

Despite the hysterical proclamations of absolute victory coming from the White House & Pentagon, Hormuz is NOT open, the tolls being extracted by Iran are being paid in untraceable crypto currency, and the theocracy is firmly in place. Who's winning here? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Now, back to THE EPSTEIN FILES. There is this lengthy and quite interesting interview that seems to blow the lid off the prevarication of so many caught in the Epstein web - that they did not suspect the hidden darkness: youtu.be/gWcoddG9bPc?...

CNN confirmed that there is no written agreement for a ceasefire in Iran. Everything is verbal, winks, and handshakes. That shows the wisdom of throwing amateurs into the ring against the pros.

"Render unto Caesar what is Caeser's and render unto God what is God's."

Your friendly local Republican Party is letting its White Christian Nationalist credentials slip.

Yep. The menu today ran two specials: Chicken 🐔 & Waffles 🧇 or tacos 🌮. El Gordo took one of each. Why is he fixated on two weeks? Cease fires, health plans ...

ICYMI, new Gallup worldwide poll shows China topping the US in its global approval rating. Are we tired of winning?

Chicken & Waffles? TACO? Let's see what happens at 8:00pm

Thank you, Chief Justice Roberts.

An attack on Iran's civilian infrastructure is a textbook war crime. It is the duty of senior military commanders to refuse to carry out the order in order to follow the UCMJ and to protect their subordinates. There will be mass resignations and/or courts martial for those officers with integrity.

If El Gordo is not going to engage in FOREIGN wars, yet requests an immense defense appropriation for 2027, where do you think he wants to use those troops?

He said WHAT?! El Gordo babbled to reporters that the US sent guns to Iranian dissidents via Iran's Kurds. True or not, he has shut down whatever covert ops were running in the country and killed any future ops anywhere. That's a crime! Oh, wait...Thanks Chief Justice Roberts.

The pace of misleading, deceptive referendum ads is accelerating. targeting African-Americans and other minorities. I'm still scheduled to offer an explainer at the Library, 3:00 - 5:00 on Saturday, April 11.

Tyranny Lesson #6: Be wary of paramilitaries. Military-like organizations are often are undertrained and don't have the deep culture of professional forces. They often become the tyrant's personal thugs. Think Nazi SA - SS or Mussolini's Squadristi. Do we have any armed group wearing black clothes?

Our beloved prez unleashed a profane, obnoxious, bullying tirade against Iran, threatening war crimes and worse if the regime doesn't bend to his will. Doubtful they'll oblige. They are neither young girls nor building contractors. Happy Easter, all.

THANK GOODNESS FOR CSAR (Combat Search & Rescue)! News reports state that the second F-15E aircrew was rescued yesterday.

History for the young(er). Saddam Hussein's Iraq invaded Iran in Sept 1980, a year after the revolution. After fighting stagnated, Iraq offered a cease fire. Iran refused. Iraq offered again & again. Refused. Chemical weapons, 100s of 1000s of casualties AND 8 YEARS LATER, it ended. Just sayin'.

What if Iran suddenly lost a dozen or so of its most senior military officers? El Gordo would trumpet it as a spectacular win for the US. What if the US lost a dozen or so of its most senior military officers? Isn't that just as good a win for Iran? We just did it to ourselves.

Popgun Pete is so fearful of being once again a sometimes weekend Fox host that he kills off (professionally) top Army Pentagon brass. Rumors hold that Dan Driscoll, SECARMY, is angling for SECDEF and these generals were Dan's alleged allies. The games begin!

Happy 77th birthday, NATO! And many, many more, if anybody in the regime has any sense at all.

So, Acting AG says "No more Epstein!" What better indication of the power of people pressure? Keep it up! Ramp it up! RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!

There's an advantage in being a child of the 1940s or 1950s. We elder Boomers recognize El Gordo's '50s memes - Davy Crockett, Daniel Boone, the TV Westerns, Rocky & Bullwinkle, 25 cent gas. But we don't LIVE there, like someone at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. We have to live in the 2020s.

Now that I have your attention ... I've reserved the small Community Discussion Room at the Culpeper Library (Saturday, April 11, 3:00 - 5:00) for a nonpartisan discussion of the midterm redistricting, the referendum, and the confusion wrought by deceptive advertising. Come & bring a friend.

Which brings me to Tyranny Lesson #5: Remember professional ethics. The tyrant must live ethics-free. Ethics are the guardrails that constrain tyrannical behavior. In Pam Bondi, we saw an ethical vacuum. Will her successor be stronger? No. The tyrant needs supplicants. Push for the Epstein files!

He didn't even give her a soft landing. Pamela Jo has been bounced into "a terrific future in the private sector." 👏 This shows the power of popular scorn. The Epstein files are a soft spot. TURN UP THE PRESSURE!

Which brings us to Tyranny Lesson #4: Take responsibility for the state of the world. The tyrant grasps power wherever they can, with no regard for the resulting damage and death. Nothing is ever their fault, so there is no basis to repair or atone. Remind you of anyone? 🐓🧇

What if reality doesn't meet your expectations? Why, change your expectations, of course. We are about to achieve our thus-far undefined goals in Iran, so we can hightail it outta there and let everybody else clean up the mess. Typical Donnie play.

El Gordo appears to be contemplating keelhauling Pamela Jo because she can't get out from under the Epstein files. Does he really think that somebody else can do better? Not if we keep on top of them. Stay alert!

Hmmm... Seen any Epstein files lately?

Trump orders a new federal list of all eligible voters. Only they could get mail-in ballots. A judge orders a halt to work on the ruins of the East Wing. And Trump "will leave Iran in two weeks." Two Trump weeks is a long time. Still waiting on the two-week health plan. It's Tuesday in Trump world.

DOGE, NATO, CDC, DOJ...Look up "Chesterton Fence" and apply as appropriate.

Let's see...Italy refuses the use of Sigonella Air Base for the prosecution of the Iran War. Spain closes its airspace to military aircraft, as does France. Remember, we don't need no stinking allies. Tired of winning yet?

By the way, a gallon of gas in Sydney, Australia, costs US$6.75 at the moment. Any bets on when we'll hit that price?

Well, BlueSky people, it's Dan again. The US average gas price has hit $4 a gallon. ICE has to wear body armor to stand in line at airport Starbucks. Are we tired of winning? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Harry Lipman reveals that El Gordo AND THE AYATOLLA were cooperating on deporting Iranian asylum seekers to IRAN, a deal that is now interrupted by the closing of Iranian airspace. Why? Because WE'RE BOMBING THE SNOT OUT OF THEM! You can't make this up.

Tyranny Lesson #3: Beware the Single Party State! If one party controls all branches of government, there is no check on power. Say one party holds the exec, leg and the courts. The exec declares crisis, leg grants great powers, and courts bless it. No need for any elections. Germany 1934. US 2028?

CONGRATULATIONS DEMOCRACY WARRIORS! 8 million in 3300 rallies. No arrests in NYC. No arrests in San Diego. Hundreds turn out in Culpeper. THAT'S how we do it! 🎊🥳 Now, ON TO THE REFERENDUM! 🗳

Why did DOJ slip some of the Mar a Lago investigation documents, WHICH WERE PERMANENTLY SEALED BY EL GORDO'S FAVORITE, Aileen Cannon, into the open (eg, the secret map on the plane)? Release the classified documents investigation report AND the Epstein files!

The deceptive mailings by A C Cordoza's PACs is blatant. Gov Spanberger DID say gerrymandering is bad - in 2019 when we fought for an independent commission. Pres Obama DID say voters should decide, which we are doing right now. So VOTE YES on the referendum!
