The Hourly Struggle

The late 2026 GOP messaging has become “we’ve done a great job so give us more time” while simultaneously blaming voters for worrying about their pocketbooks.Be it Seb Gorka or Kansas Senator Robert Marshall, you just need to suck it because the war we already won 40 times will be over soon.The Republicans welcome our vote but only if we keep quiet and take their word that things are going swimmingly.

I had to discuss two topics here because one needed to be a mental palette cleanser for the other since we’re reached the end times. The sane topic is Thomas Massie introducing Article of Impeachment against Pete Hegseth and the topic is, well, not that.The other topic is Kash Patel’s FBI, which means Donald Trump’s FBI, lowering the standard to join to include, well, there’s no good way to say this - people who have fornicated with beasts.It never occurred to me that “they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats” was only a problem because they were on a plate and not a date. I hadn’t considered that the officers who shot HeeHaw were overqualified to be FBI now since Donkey Shows are apparently on the table.Okay, I need to stop now before I gag and ruin this keyboard. Sadly I’m sure this won’t be the last time we discuss this horribleness because chaos is a ladder and this administration is intent on climbing to the top.

Let’s discuss Trump’s latest naked bribe to voters and the implication/reality of this bit of pandering. I also talk about Trump screaming at the “Treasonists” who are somehow the people against data centers and not the people who put America second (or last).

I just finished listening to “Blowback: The Untold Story of the FBI and the Oklahoma City Bombing” by Margaret Roberts and I want to talk about it.Actually I tweeted at the author that the ending annoyed me and in writing out my response I realized I should probably just record it at length so here we find ourselves.Overall I enjoyed the book as much as you can enjoy a book about government corruption, betrayal, and well, EVIL.Thanks for reading The Hourly Struggle!

After a week of digging it turns out that the story of how Flock Safety came to Fullerton is more convoluted, and more dishonest than I believed when I made my public comments in front of City Council last week.In this episode I detail what I got wrong, why and how I got it wrong, as well as how it’s so much worse than even I thought. I also talk about the surveillance state in general and our place in it.Drop a comment to let me know your thoughts.Cheers.
