'Irony' Can Mean The Moment When Reality
Catches Up With You
Posted By: DW626, 8/9/2025 11:32:59 AM
Irony is a term whose meaning is elusive and which escapes precise definition. A lot of people think they know what it means when they actually don’t. About the best that can be said is that irony is the quality of a situation in which not only are prospects ruined and even reversed, but done so resoundingly – irony not only wrecks your plans, but does so while turning you into an object lesson. Irony occurs when the postman rings twice for the drifter Frank Chambers, who is arrested, tried, and executed not for the murder he unquestionably committed, but for the accidental death over which he had no responsibility.

I missed Rachel K. Paulose’s column about George Floyd—sorry, Saint George Floyd—when it appeared in The Spectator World at the end of May. Knowing of my interest in the case, a public-spirited individual brought the column to my attention. I thought it was an appalling regurgitation of the established, but erroneous, narrative about the larcenous, drug-and-woman-abusing miscreant George Floyd and the former police officer primarily involved in his arrest.
Democrats have dropped all pretense—they’re openly plotting to seize and rig the system the instant they claw back power. This isn’t quiet maneuvering in smoke-filled rooms. It’s a bold, almost taunting declaration that the rules no longer apply to them, and that the very foundations of fair governance are expendable.
In Texas, Democrats staged one of their most brazen stunts yet, fleeing the state in a calculated bid to break quorum and derail a Republican redistricting plan aimed at reflecting Texas’s actual political makeup. And at a rally in Fort Worth, former Congressman Beto O’Rourke didn’t just cheer them on—he glorified their stunt
Well, 249 Years Was A Pretty Good Run…

Democrats have been wetting themselves over the past week about the idea of Texas redistricting their Congressional seats like, well, Democrats have in the states they control. They can’t handle it; they won’t handle it. Honestly, I don’t care. As Democrats flee Texas like roaches when the light is flipped on, let them destroy it all. We had a good run, right? There comes a time when it is simply no longer worth it, doesn’t there? I mean, 249 years is a pretty good run for a republic. They’re usually destroyed by leftists looking to do things with government power long before now.
Rachel Maddow is at it again — eyes to the heavens, voice quivering, as if she’s about to narrate the final act of a Ken Burns documentary entitled “America: The Dark Years.”
This week’s cliffhanger? “We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country.”
In Maddow’s latest monologue, she painted Trump’s America as a police-state nightmare — “secret police” supposedly prowling for immigrants, civil life grinding to a halt, the entire nation undergoing a “profound” transformation in just six months. If you closed your eyes, you’d think she was describing Venezuela with better lighting.
Now, I understand Rachel’s job is to frighten the MSNBC faithful into thinking every Trump policy
Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, owns a small company called Financial Leasing Services, Inc. (estimated annual revenue $434,284) that bills itself as a real estate and venture capital investment and consulting firm. Nancy Pelosi herself has spent the last 38 years as a federal employee. Her current salary is $174,000 per year. Nevertheless, Paul and Nancy Pelosi are estimated to be worth around $413 million, up from a “mere” $370 million just two years ago.
This power couple’s wealth is almost magical. They are the living embodiment of the fact that, while Republicans get rich and then go into politics, Democrats go into politics and then get rich.
The FBI covered for Tim Walz and China

Throughout the 2024 campaign, I often wrote about the deep connections to the Chinese Communist Party--CCP-- of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. In April of 2025, I wrote Tim Walz: helping China colonize Minnesota? That article was about a long-established CCP operation in Minneapolis:
According to a recently released US House Oversight Committee report, “united front work is carried out by a vast network—including through the United Front Work Department (UFWD), and Chinese intelligence services, including the Ministry of Public Security (MPS) and the Ministry of State Security (MSS).” The Ministry of Public Security has been likened to China’s FBI while the Ministry of State Security is more like China’s CIA.
For ages, if there was a way to subvert the law for electoral advantage, the Democrats would do it, but under new leadership Republicans are fighting back. If you accurately read the Democrats’ nonsense about “saving our democracy” as a plaint about saving their party, you wouldn’t be wrong. Just as these domestic outrages are being undone, the President has brokered a series of seven international peace agreements and is negotiating for an eighth (between Russia and Ukraine) this week in Alaska. He’s rightfully thrown up his arms at a Gaza deal because psychopathic Hamas is utterly irrational, but has made astonishing progress with 22 Arab nations

Letitia James Is in Big Trouble Now
21 replies
For years, New York Attorney General Letitia James has fancied herself as the scourge of Donald Trump, chasing him with a vengeance to fulfill her campaign promise of getting Trump at any cost. Now, in a stunning turn of events, the Department of Justice has launched a grand jury investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James over her sham civil fraud case against Donald Trump. The partisan hit job that scored James a bloated $454 million judgment against Trump is now facing the heat of federal scrutiny, and the tables may finally be turning.
Beyond the baseless 2022 civil fraud charges she leveled against him
Seth Rich: Dead Men Tell No Tales
13 replies
White collar conspiracy cases are mind-numbing. Murder mysteries with dead bodies and blood are riveting.
The enormity of the Seth Rich case and the Cabal is unimaginable. Our government lied to the American People (See Bongino’s shocked statement). Our sheepdogs, the DOJ, FBI, and CIA, went full Stasi to protect the exposure of the Cabal. The Cabal is a RICO criminal enterprise — organized crime preying on the American people and their money (e.g., USAID — see Don Surber). Further, it was a coup to unseat a sitting president. See my body of work, which includes coverage of the Cabal’s likely involvement in Rich’s murder
You think Kamala Harris picking her 2024 running mate was merely a strategic political move? Think again. As recently surfaced internal memos from the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI reveal, the choice of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz sent more than a few alarm bells ringing inside U.S. counterintelligence circles.
Newly released Homeland Security group chat messages, obtained after a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit from Judicial Watch, show outright glee from agency insiders at Washington’s potential nightmare.
Watergate was a zit…while RussiaGate is CANCER.
This is a coup, insurrection and treason by Obama, Hillary and their Deep State/communist cabal- all wrapped into the biggest scandal in U.S. history.
Yet the mainstream media is once again gaslighting us at the highest levels, while whistling past the graveyard. Why? Because this is their scandal. They were in on it from the first day, as the PR wing of the Democrat Party and various communist traitors hellbent on the intentional destruction of America. We all know Obama ordered the spying on candidate Trump to help his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton win the presidency.

With Russian President Putin to Formulate
Ceasefire Terms 33 replies
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is once again rejecting any consideration for President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss terms for a ceasefire without his involvement. [Snip] Zelenskyy reacted, carrying the message from the global intelligence community who support the ongoing conflict,... Zelenskyy has banned opposition parties in Ukraine, taken control of media, targeted religious groups who he claims are subversive to his interests and cancelled elections in order to remain in power. Now Zelenskyy hides behind the claim of a constitution his regime modified in order to ensure he alone controls the pathways to peace.
Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that President Donald Trump has gone too far with mass immigration raids.”
Kelly said, “I don’t think this is what the American people wanted. Margaret, the the border security issue under President Biden was not working, and I pushed the administration on that. But we have now swung drastically in another direction. And I don’t think this is what the American people want either.”
Host Margaret Brennan said, “Well, to your point, though. President Trump won your state by almost six points in November. And, you know, immigration was one of his top promises to go ahead with this crackdown.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Saturday the planned summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, warning that any peace deal excluding Kyiv would lead to “dead solutions.”
The Trump-Putin meeting, scheduled for Friday in Alaska, is seen as a potential breakthrough.
Trump had previously agreed to meet with Putin even if the Russian leader would not meet with Zelenskyy, stoking fears Ukraine could be sidelined in efforts to stop the continent’s biggest conflict since World War II.
In a statement posted to Telegram, Zelenskyy said Ukraine’s territorial integrity, enshrined in the constitution, must be non-negotiable and emphasized that lasting peace must include Ukraine’s voice at the table.

Three people were injured when a 17-year-old gunman opened fire in a crowded Times Square early Saturday morning.
The violent gunfire erupted during a dispute between two people near the intersection of 44th Street and 7th Avenue at around 1:20 a.m., the NYPD told The Post.
An 18-year-old female and two men, 19 and 65, were injured in the shooting.
The female was grazed in the neck, while the two men suffered gunshot wounds to the legs.
All three victims were transported to Bellevue Hospital and are listed in stable condition, police said [snip}
The teen was not identified because of his age and charges had not been filed.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has appointed a special prosecutor to investigate alleged mortgage fraud by Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., and New York Attorney General Letitia James, several outlets reported Friday.
According to the New York Post, Bondi has tapped former acting U.S. Attorney for Washington, D.C. Ed Martin to spearhead “the prosecution of James and Schiff for potential mortgage fraud, bank fraud and wire fraud, which carry jail terms of up to 30 years.” (sonp)Martin told the outlet. “For months DOJ and the FBI have been working on these two cases, it is my job to stick the landing.”
Former Attorney General Eric Holder said Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that there was “no factual basis” for the Trump administration’s investigations into high-profile Democrats.
Host Kristen Welker said, “President Trump has launched investigations into many of his perceived political foes, including former President Barack Obama and New York Attorney General Letitia James, Democratic Senator Adam Schiff. I’m naming just a few of the people you have described this as the, quote, weaponization of the Justice Department, which is, by the way, the same criticism President Trump has made about the DOJ under former President Biden. So let me ask you about that.
Explaining the Geyser of Jew-Hatred

Since the day that Israeli Jews were attacked, tortured, murdered, raped and burned to death on October 7, 2023, the entire world, save for a tiny minority, has vilified, excoriated, and blamed — ta-da! — the Jews! The victims!
Why? It’s really not that hard to figure out.
We live in a world of eight billion people, the vast majority of whom have never seen or spoken to or met a Jew...a Jew whose numbers constitute a microscopic 16 million, only half of that number in Israel, another approximate seven million in America, and about another million throughout the world.
Thomas Kolbe has written about the collapse of the German economy, something pretty shocking to those of us who remember when the German economy seemed unstoppable. What’s slammed the brakes on that juggernaut is central planning that revolves around the whole Green New Deal theory. Other European countries are doing the same. Spain and Portugal had a catastrophic power outage thanks to their green energy policies, and, in England, people are getting cold and dirty in a very 19th-century way because of the UK’s drive for “Net Zero.”
Had Kamala been elected last year, America would almost certainly have gone down that path, too.
When I showed up for Army Basic Training at Ft Dix, New Jersey, on a spring morning in the early '80s, I had a couple of advantages over a lot of the other recruits, and I knew it. I was a big, tough kid from a rural background, had self-confidence to spare, and wasn't afraid of anything. Then I encountered Army drill sergeants, and a tactic that we later learned was called the "shark attack." (Snip) Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is now bringing that and other classic practices back - he's going to let drill sergeants be drill sergeants again,
Corrupt Democrat Rep. Caught Taking Bribes
18 replies
In 2013, U.S. Representative Henry Cuellar and his wife took a seemingly routine trip to Turkey and Azerbaijan, funded by an obscure Houston-based nonprofit.
What followed, federal prosecutors now allege, was a years-long scheme involving foreign influence, money laundering, and one of the most serious indictments ever brought against a sitting member of Congress.
According to a federal indictment unsealed last week, Cuellar and his wife accepted nearly $600,000 in bribes from two foreign entities: Azerbaijan’s state-owned oil company, SOCAR, and Mexico’s Banco Azteca.
Prosecutors allege that Cuellar, a Democrat from Laredo, Texas,
The Week In Pictures: Green D*ldo Edition
18 replies
Some important things happened this week. President Trump brought peace to a continent or two. The long-simmering Russia Collusion Hoax unraveled further. Controversy erupted over the Democrats’ disgraceful history of gerrymandering. Israel announced its intention to complete the pacification of Gaza. The Trump administration revoked the ridiculous CO2 endangerment finding. And more.
But the nation’s meme-creators mostly focused their attention elsewhere. President Trump took a walk on a sloped roof. South Park viciously parodied Trump, JD Vance and Kristi Noem. The now indisputably-Republican Sydney Sweeney remained a popular meme subject. And, above all, persons mostly unknown debuted a new sports tradition: throwing green d*ldos on to the court at WNBA games.

In the charred aftermath of Malibu’s January wildfires, one buyer has been moving in silence. While much of La Costa Beach remains a barren stretch of sand, a foreign investor has quietly acquired nine oceanfront lots — spending more than $65 million to secure some of the most coveted parcels along the Pacific Coast Highway, according to Realtor.com. Working through luxury agents Weston Littlefield and Alex Howe of the Weston James Group, the buyer is targeting properties with at least 40 feet of frontage, betting that once the coastline is rebuilt, demand from wealthy buyers will return in force.
