Odds & Ends

The Seditious Six, that would be the six Democrats in Congress who created videos in which they openly encourage members of the U.S. military and Intelligence Community to mutiny against the commander in chief, are aghast that PDJT would correctly describe the seditious actions as seditious.

Well, the FBI has taken an interest in their actions.  Let’s be reminded that, in the past, the FBI only investigates threats to the continuity of government.  Is it possible that the FBI will take these actions as a serious threat to the government?

As a reminder, the Seditious Six consist of Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.; Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz.; Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa.; Rep. Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H.; Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa.; and Rep. Jason Crow.  Of these Sen. Kelly is a retired military officer.  As such, he could be hauled into a court martial proceeding.

Will this actually go some place substantive?  I am not holding my breath but one never knows.


Is sanity beginning to return to women’s sports?  On Tuesday on the social media platform Instagram, the Official Strongman Games issued a statement announcing the disqualification of Jammie Booker, a man posing as a woman, who won first place at the World Championships 2025 over the weekend in Arlington, Texas.

“It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women’s Open category,” the statement read.


Has Eric Swalwell stepped in it again?  Rep. Swalwell, who apparently had a relationship with a Chinese spy (Fang Fang), announced his candidacy for governor of California.  The problem for Swalwell?  His mortgage says that his residence is in DC.  That would disqualify him from running for governor in California.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out.


Digital privacy appears to be at risk in the EU.  Both the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers are expected to discuss newly formulated proposals to create an EU agency that would force messaging services like WhatsApp or Signal to scan messages before they are sent.  The ostensible reason is to stop child-pornographic content.

However, everyone understands the real purpose: political dragnet surveillance. Brussels is mobilizing heaven and earth to suppress opposition voices and dismantle their networks with maximum force.

This would just be the next step in total political surveillance in the EU.  Citizens are to be stripped informationally naked, deprived of the ability to judge politics anonymously — a radical attack on the foundational democratic principles of the Internet.

And the extension of that to our country would be not far behind.  Germany appears to be the lynchpin to whether this effort succeeds.
