Every time Trump goes to Mar-A-Lago, he is returning to the scene of the crimes.....

Steve Siebold's "mysterious" message yesterday to examine the pageants was right. He warned the media it was a dangerous mission to follow-up on his info. There is a myriad of witnesses to what TRump did using the pageant girls to party with much older men. No parties, no work, no future. Quid pro quo just like everything Donold does. Luther Campbell, Eddie Murphy, and Mike Tyson went to a party that Luther left early-on; he figured out it would lead to blackmail. Sex, drugs, booze and some very young looking faces. Something like "Eyes Wide Shut". Listen for yourself:

Attorney Marc Elias sent out a "Five alarm fire!" Justice Department wages WAR" message yesterday. The DOJ and Bondi is trying to force your state to turn over sensitive information on you. They intend to use it to prove voter fraud. Marc also talks about what to do and what is being done by Elias Law Group:

This fight for truth, justice, and some Constitutionally guaranteed privacy is not going to end anytime soon. Buckle-up, Buttercups---2026 is going to be a bumpy ride. See you in the streets. That's MY new church.

Here's the TikTok link for what Siebold said about TRump. I am not an expert, but his body language indicates he is being truthful on everything he said:

I gave due attention to all of your piece, and I am both now horrified and informed as to this horror show we’re subjected to.

But bless you for the way you ended the piece with congratulating us who believe in the healing power of chocolate and coffee. 🤪

The stamps issued for King Charles’ coronation included two with themes he really cares about, “diversity” and “sustainability”. The difference from our own would-be monarch is striking.

Krasnov like many other freaks live off the energy from others and it does not matter if that energy is good or bad. They live off it. If society simply ignored them, they would starve to death in not having it given to them freely. They hate so they have no ability to feed themselves and must like vampires take it from those around them. If you want to starve them, simply have no reaction whatsoever. Any reaction gives them what they want and they do not care what it costs anyone else in order for them to get it. Krasnov is addicted so let him go cold turkey.

More billionaires, more threats from Trump, more normalization of pedophilia and rape, more concerned citizens being branded as domestic terrorists, more concentration camps, more surveillance, more legal work visas pulled, more churches corrupted into "dens of thieves", more housing markets crashing, more attacks on diversity... It's amazing to me how, after all that, the good news about coffee and chocolate slowing the aging process lifted my spirits.

1. Thom: "Most recently, the Christmas Eve document dump includes a alleged report from a limo driver about an underage girl allegedly raped by both Epstein and Trump, who then committed suicide perhaps with Maxwell’s help."

Me: Holy shit. This may be bigger than "Where's Bubba!"

Call on MAGATs with microphones, like the notorius General Flynn.

Michael Flynn presses Trump, Bondi, Wiles on Epstein response: ‘This is a disaster’

by Brett Samuels - 12/24/25 2:57 PM ET https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5662585-epstein-case-flynn-trump-response/

“But if a former president or presidents of any country or other ‘elites’ are part of child rape and sexual abuse, I’m not someone you want as your enemy.” Flynn.

2. Our last "Merry Christmas."

Better, Trump meets Grinch. Motions to compel are being served re Epsgtein in both houses of Congress. We don't need Republicans to convert -- just investigate the obstruction of justice. At least 4 Republican House members and Murkowskit in the Senate are already on record.

If not the crimes, per se, the coverup is probably actionable.

IMHO there's also stuff like money laundering, accepting illegal foreign influence.... Krasnov/Putin?

3. It was a blue Christmas for Trump. "Critics of the president ...described as Melania’s lack of interest. “Could she sit any farther away?” one X user quipped. “Trump seethes with rage & embarrassment that Melania only wants to talk to her dad,” another wrote in a post viewed 1.6 million times. Melania's father, Viktor Knavs—who is just two years older than Trump, was formerly a Communist Party official before he came to this country on Melania's anchor. https://news.yahoo.com/news/entertainment/celebrity/articles/lonely-trump-79-endures-awkward-172636522.html

4. Santa Claus. I'm waiting for the Santa Clause market rally...I bought 3 Powerballs, and didn't hit one number....but I continue to have faith in 'ol Santy.

Please do not take financial advice from me...watch but don't bet. Statistically, the S&P 500 has beat the general market over time.....

Historically, the S&P 500 has closed higher approximately 78% of the time during the seven-day Santa Claus rally period, which is significantly more frequent than a typical seven-day period. The performance during this period is also seen by some as a potential indicator for the following year's market performance, with a failure to rally sometimes preceding a bear market or a flat year.

Best Performance: The largest rally occurred from late 2008 to early 2009, when the S&P 500 jumped 7.4% as the market began to recover from the financial crisis.

Recent Trends: In recent years (2022-2024), the rally has occurred less frequently, with market gains in November often preceding pullbacks in December. The market saw a "reverse Santa Claus rally" in the 2024-2025 period, selling off during every business day between Christmas and New Year's, a historic first.

This year I've been using Gemini, the new Google Ai to run stats. I've been asking it to reverse engineer the typical anaysis. However, looks like it's stumpted....

Maybe the Google quantum chips may help...But if Santy is "right" 78% of the time, I'd tke it.

Question: Both houses issue subpoena's to Bondi. Who is going to enforce them?

Who is going to compel Bondi to testify and/or turn over documents? Bondi?The FBI? US Marshalls who are under her command and control?

I have an answer, there is only one group that I know of that is not controlled by Trump or Bondi and that is the Sergeant of Arms of the House and Senate.

Alas the Sergeant at Arms of House is under the control of the Speaker of the House,Mike Johnson.

The Sergeant at Amrs of the Senate is elected by the Senators and is under control of the Senate oversight committee. So lots of luck there.. well maybe not, Rand Paul is chair of the oversight committee

Senator Rand Paul has consistently advocated for the full and transparent release of all Jeffrey Epstein-related documents, criticizing the Justice Department's partial and heavily redacted disclosures as a "big mistake".

Could what remains of our democracy depend on a libertarian.?

Yeh sure, and you are accusing me of that for which you are guilty. The best defense is a good offense. Just like the school yard bully who accuses a weaker kid of the very thing that is their weakness.

Like Trump calling people stupid.

Will the DOJ break? Did the KGB break? Did he GESTAPO break? Did the Muhjabarat break?

What is going to break them, who is going to break them,how is the DOJ going to break.

The only way to force Bondi to do anything is with the power of the police, power flows out of the barrel. Who has that power Daniel?

Trump has pulled off a self coup, we no longer have a democratic administration, we have a regime. The only way to get rid of a regime is to overthrow it.

The law that you worship is no more, it has been replaced with the rule of a man.

Some lucky SOB: The winning Powerball ticket for the recent $1.817 billion drawing was sold at a Murphy USA gas station in Cabot, Arkansas.

They can remain anonymous for three years, but you know they have them on video. It's a town of 27,000. Uh-Oh.

Hope they do something good with that money.

Bad news, Trump has already pulled off a self coup Coups are not overturned by Democratic process, unless aided by the military, and our military is already kow towing to Trump and Hegseth.

Looking at the USA it is obvious that the rule of law has been swept aside. The far-right Supreme Court is nothing but a rubber-stamp for whatever destructive whims the vermin Trump and his slithering lackeys imagine to be “smart & stable genius” actions. Just as happened in Putin’s Russia, the oligarchs who imagined they’d become even more obscenely rich thanks to annoying old restrictions being tossed into the garbage can have begun belatedly to realize that they are not as immune from Trumpian tantrums as they had imagined. Fatboy Musk has learned that lesson the hard way, and in the next few years other oligarchs will find that the appetite of Trump and his cronies only grows with each “voluntary donation” to the Trump syndicate and its hangers-on.

The real significance of Trump urinating all over the US Constitution, however, will only be seen when (far too late) he dies. At that point the choice for his lackeys and confederates will be clear: permit some semi-return to some semblance of previous normality and risk prosecutions that would put thousands of them in jail and likely also diminish whatever fortunes the oligarchs still control, or… double down on lawlessness.

Alas medium is behind a pay wall.

You're in denial. Just Security follows 522 ongoing cases.

https://www.justsecurity.org/107087/tracker-litigation-legal-challenges-trump-administration/

I donate to organizations like the Brennan Center, CREW and Common Cause, which continue to fight via litigation. If it were up to defeatists like you, they'd shut down.

I subscribe to Just Security. Yes there are cases, but you celebrate selectively.

Here is the deal, for the 100th time. If a lower court rules in favor of democracy, it is almost always a temporary stay, which give the government time to refine it's case and come back again. I know of only one case lately that was not a temporary stay.

If the ruling goes against the DOJ, then it will be appealed, and the District appellate court then decides, and the 5th, 19th, 12th and DC district had proven to be conservative, especially the 5th.

The furling will then, usually,be appealed to SCOTUS, and if the Judge with jurisdiction over that District court agrees with the appellate court, then the appeal is denied via the emergency or shadow docket, Otherwise the court puts in on it's calendar for hearing, and in cases important to Trump, an emergency hearing.

Of all the cases SCOTUS has ruled with Trump most of the time, of the three times, Trump has ignored the ruling

The latest ruling for Trump is Trump v Slaughter.

Anyone can sue anyone anytime, it is not the number that matter, but the number were justice and the Constitution prevail on that basis, The law is whatever the right wing says it is.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson has expressed concern that recent rulings by the court's conservative majority pose an "existential threat to the rule of law, and that problem starts at the lower courts.

What is disturbing about Thom's summary of MAGA Fascism is that neither party is doing anything to get this deranged and demented old man out of office before he does something so reckless that he starts a nuclear war or something. Article 25 is a joke. Neither party has used it yet both had presidents losing their minds to age-related dementia. Only in Trump's case, he behaves like a psychopath.

I mean, "America First?" What threatens America in Nigeria, or Venezuela, or Colombia, or Greenland, or Iceland, or Canada, or the entire Caribbean region? There is not a single competent person in Trump's cabinet. Their only qualification is that they are sycophants, and in the case of females, sexy-looking. Both houses and both parties enabled this. There is a message that our government is broken and needs fixing - now, not in 2028.

Not true Tom.

Reps. Al Green (D-TX) and Shri Thanedar (D-MI), filed bills, citing high crimes and misdemeanors like obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and undermining democracy, though efforts to bring them to a vote were largely blocked or tabled by the House, with Democrats generally wary of pursuing further impeachments after previous attempts.

As recently as this morning Dems and friends are working on contempt of Congress procedures.

Also: "Eating full-fat cheese and cream may be associated with a lower risk of dementia, according to a large study that tracked people for more than 25 years. Those who consumed higher amounts of these foods developed dementia less often than those who ate little or none. Interestingly, low-fat dairy products did not show the same pattern. Researchers caution that the findings show an association, not cause and effect." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251221091246.htm#google_vignette
