Tom Hagen: Right now we have the unions and we have the gambling and those are the best things to have. But narcotics is a thing of the future. If we don’t get a piece of that action we risk everything we have. Not now, but ten years from now.

The Godfather 1972

Detective Gregory: Is there any other point to which you would wish to draw my attention?

Sherlock Holmes: To the curious incident of the dog in the night-time.

Detective Gregory: The dog did nothing in the night-time.

Sherlock Holmes: That was the curious incident.


Arthur Conan Doyle: The Adventure of Silverblaze 1896

It is ironic that the day the death of the excellent actor Robert Duval who famously played among other parts Tom Hagan a spectacular example of the Tom Hagen math that Democrats are following was presented.

To remind you of what the Tom Hagen Math is let me quote my piece from 10 years ago when I coined the term:

Right now the left has the Gays and the Transgenders and the Hollywood elites & media in which they are overrepresented and they figure that’s the best things to have, but in America Islam is a thing of the future.  In 20 years the children of Muslims now being raised on the tenets of Sharia law in America will be old enough to vote and Democrats going to make sure they get those votes when the time come, not now but 10-20 years from now.

I bring this up because of a tweet that Congressman Randy Fine sent out in response to this screen captured tweet by Nerdeen Kiswani

Since then Fine has been pilloried by democrats across the board calling him a “bigot” & “disgusting” for that statement. Many are from sitting members of congress to wit:

Ro Khanna:

Rep Eric Swalwell

and of course AOC:

All of these statements of outrage by elected Democrats and all the ones I have seen as of this moment: (5:39 AM EST 2/17/26) have two things in common, both are items of omission.

  1. None of those replies Deny that Muslims will take away your dogs if given power
  2. None of those replies Deny that Democrats will support them if they try to do so.

Now I would think that saying: “Muslims aren’t coming for your dogs!” and “We will not let anyone take away your dogs!” would be a rather easy things for Democarts to say, so why are they not saying it?

The answer is the Tom Hagen math:

Right now the left has the Gays and the Transgenders and the Hollywood elites & media in which they are overrepresented and they figure that’s the best things to have, but in America Islam is a thing of the future.  In 20 years the children of Muslims now being raised on the tenets of Sharia law in America will be old enough to vote and Democrats going to make sure they get those votes when the time come, not now but 10-20 years from now.

Democrats who have spent generations aborting & or spaying their own kids will do nothing or say nothing that might cause the one group in their circles that are having children who will group up and vote and if it mean you lose your dog that’s a price they’re willing to pay for votes & power.

It’s business and simple math.

Oh and for the record if you have a life or death situation between a dog & a human ANY human I favor the human every time.

Oh Please PLEASE Br’er Democrats Don’t Force a Party Line Vote on Funding ICE!

From every possible direction it looked the same. It was going to be unreasonably easy for Allen Carpentier to enter the Circle of Traitors…the place of punishment for those who betrayed their benefactors

Inferno Larry Nivin & Jerry Pournelle 1976

I think some of the wisdom of Donald Trump might be rubbing off on the GOP.

I know this is generally considered “the stupid party” but there seems to be a glimmer of it on the shutdown votes.

For context let me remind you of what I wrote concerning Donald Trump & the Epstein files a little bit ago:

I think he’s going to let the Epstein stuff play out as far as he can all the time saying to people like Elizabeth Warren:

“Oh please Please Br’re Pocahontas don’t throw me into the Epstein patch!”

And then when the left is fully committed to both the release of the information and harsh punishment for all those involved (including all those who have given them millions upon millions over the years) and then BOOM!

When that time comes and the decides to give them exactly what they want, a lot of very rich and very bad leftists and their funders will find themselves in trouble meanwhile Donald Trump will be hopping away singing:

“Born and bred in a Briar Patch!”

And will hop away while the left convicts themselves.

This is pretty much turned out as I predicted as leftist from Reid Hoffman to Bill Gates are scrambling to do damage control & the Clintons try to figure out how to testify to congress on the subject without pleading the 5th.

This of course could be predicted by anyone who doesn’t by the MSM propaganda and has actually paid attention but the left doesn’t think that way. Their primary goal is to win the current news cycle and to keep their base angry.

That’s why I’m delighted at the fact that ICE funding is coming up again in two weeks.

It’s is very possible and even probable that our friends on the left who decided a short term shutdown was NBD to take a stand vs ICE think that a party line vote on funding ICE is a good thing to fire up their base, particularly with former GOP leaders speaking against the agency.

One might have thought that they would have learned from their pushing of Liz Cheney that people who GOP voters disagree with don’t have a lot of sway with conservative votes, no matter how much the MSM thinks otherwise but apparently not.

Let’s go to the polling:

The survey found that calls to defund ice are “politically toxic. When voters are told Democrats want to defund ICE or even shut down the government to stop ICE from enforcing immigration law, the political fallout is immediate and severe.”

  • The generic ballot flips from D+4 to R+0 if Democrats oppose ICE.
  •  If Democrats force a shutdown to defund ICE, Republicans take a 2‑point lead; that’s a 6-point shift away from Democrats over a single issue.
  • Swing voters shift a staggering 16 points toward Republicans under a shutdown scenario.

The results indicate that Democrats do not view illegal immigration as a “serious national problem.”

But nearly all Republicans (97%) and 60% of Independent voters see it as a major problem. Overall, 64% of midterm voters and 71% of swing voters agree.

That link to the Cygnal poll is to the site Legal Insurrection which perhaps Dems don’t read, but I’m told that they do on occasion watch CNN:

And I’m sure the left’s base can’t wait to turn out for the party of Trans protesters calling black Ice agents “Nigger” on camera:

But apparently none of that matters to those in the land of the bubble.. It’s going to be unreasonably easy for the Democrat left to smile and celebrate when ICE funding comes up for a vote in two weeks and passes on a strict party line vote.

A Short Open Letter to Healthcare Companies & Medical Schools who Don’t Want to be Sued out of Existence

Draxel Forg: What’s happening?

12th Doctor: Right on cue. Take a look, Eagle men, from Shanroth, planet of the lawyers, that’s one of their justice cruisers, action lawsuit class I shouldn’t wonder.

Doctor Who (Big Finish) The Best Laid Plans 2019

Ladies & Gentlemen:

I would like to call to your attention the recent spate of healthcare workers doing the following:

  1. Openly calling for the death of political opponents
  2. Openly calling for healthcare workers to injure patients with political views they dislike
  3. Openly calling for healthcare workers to not treat patients with political views they dislike
  4. Actually refusing to treat people due to political opinions
  5. Openly taking public political opinions as representatives of the industry or individual healthcare facilities

Needless to say this may be problematic in terms of publicity but I would like to point out a far greater risk to your business than simply bad press.

Medicine, for all its advancements is still an inexact science.

Unlike engineering where the tolerances for various metals and structures can be predicted if the products are properly made, different people will react to treatments differently. There is always a chance that a problem will arise with any med or any treatment or any procedure.

Of course there is always the factor of human error which can be reduced by vigilance but by nature never completely eliminated. Which is why Doctors & Nurses and healthcare workers with any sense carry malpractice insurance.

Now consider for a moment a conservative who comes to one of your facilities, a facility where the doctor, or the nurse, or the person passing meds or even the kitchen staff has been posting on public social media their disgust at conservatives &/or calling for their harm.

Think of what happens if an open conservative comes to your facility for any sort of treatment and has

  • A reaction to meds
  • An adverse reaction to a procedure
  • A bad complication
  • An unexpected death

In any of those cases the patient and/or the family naturally questions why this has taken place. What kind of conclusion might be reached if any of those online political activities come to light concerning any person involved in his or her treatment? How fast will the family conclude that this was not part of the normal risk of treatment but a deliberate act against a perceived “enemy”?

How quick do you think a family like that will decide to sue?

How fast will such a suit become a cause célèbre in the conservative community?

How quickly will pols seeking to make hay grab onto such a case?

How much would that cause previous patients and their families to give scrutiny to any past visit that did not have a satisfactory outcome?

And most importantly will the insurance company that covers your facility decide at best to raise the rates they are charging because of the risk or fight any payout on the grounds that a deliberate failure to provide the proper care is a criminal act?

All of those risks are after the fact, consider this:

A medical college that openly pushes to radicalize doctors or nurses to consider those who don’t share an instructors hatred of conservatives or ICE or Trump as not worthy of treatment.

Can you imagine the risk you will have if you hire a graduate of such a program? Can you picture all of those consequences I already named exacerbated by hiring a person who has done any of those things listed above or marched in events during their college years? The negligence argument writes itself.

That being said I offer the following suggestions:

  1. Instruct your HR departments to screen potential hires social media posts for any such statements supporting violence as noted above.
  2. Instruct your HR departments to inform colleges that train medical professionals that candidates from any facility whose program is even perceived to encourage bias based on political affiliation will not be considered for any position
  3. Discharge any person who has precipitated in any of the above actions
  4. If discharge is not possible due to contract limitation give written notice that any such behavior as noted above will result in immediate discharge from the facility & a lawsuit to recover damages by the facility
  5. Implement immediate training for existing staff to make it clear that any such action will result in immediate discharge & a possible lawsuit to recover damages
  6. Implement training for all new hires to make clear that any such action will result in immediate discharge & a possible lawsuit to recover damages.
  7. Make such a policy an official policy of your facility

Such actions will protect you and your facility from the enormous financial risks involved in this behavior contrary to the best traditions of the medical profession.

It’s your call.

Why Minnesota? And What’s likely been going on and will Keep going on till Trump stops it.

The Judge: Now, it’s a surprisingly simple procedure. You’re to play your normal game, except when you are at bat. And then, under no circumstances, are you to hit the ball safely.

The Natural 1984

I suspect more than a few people are looking at Minnesota and wondering why we are seeing what we are seeing. Why is the left going all out including violence to protect illegal aliens and why are Democrats nationally defending these actions and even making threats concerning them?

The answers is really quite simple at least to me.

  • I suspect the sheer volume of dollars being stolen dwarfs anything that we suspect
  • I suspect the sheer number of Democrats getting rich off these dollars is larger than we suspect
  • I suspect the sheer number of illegal votes being produced by this enterprise is enough to steal a state
  • I submit that access to those dollars nationally is why Harris picked Walz as her VP choice
  • I suspect that this is going on in other blue states whose pols rather keep scrutiny on Minnesota
  • And I suspect key GOP members in those other states are being rewarded for ignoring it

Nicky Santoro: Now, notice how in the count room nobody ever seems to see anything. Somehow, somebody’s always looking the other way. Now, look at these guys. They look busy, right? They’re counting money. Who wants to bother them? I mean, God forbid they should make a mistake and forget to steal.

Casino 1995

Let’s take them in order. Each day we are getting more and more information from citizen journalists about fraud in Minnesota, about empty daycare centers, about non exist transport companies, about whole supposed infrastructures that simply don’t exist.

If this is the kind of money being produced by these locations how many others, particularly in the Somali community see this and say: “This is the life for me.” All you need is an address and a few people to process paperwork and BOOM here come the federal dollars. These aren’t a few businesses I suspect there are thousands, and I suspect they’re not just in the state capital, they’re all over the state because why wouldn’t there be if the risk/reward ratio was so low for so long?

Henry Hill: They called him Jimmy the Gent. The drivers loved him. They used to tip him off about the really good loads. Of course, everybody got a piece. And when the cops assigned a whole army to stop him, Jimmy made them partners.

Goodfellas 1990

It took these people no time at all to find any of this stuff. What does that tell you? It tells you that both the law enforcement, the regulatory and the press apparatus could have done these investigations and found all of this stuff because it was happening out in the open. That they didn’t means they were getting a piece of the action, either directly or indirection (ie press company gets ads from big dems when they don’t investigate)

Oddball: [Talking to German tank officer] You know what’s inside that bank, man? There’s 16 million dollars worth of gold in the bank, sweetheart. Mm-hm, mm-hm. [Tank officer’s eyes grow wide]

Big Joe: That’s about 65 million marks.

Kelly: And sergeant, all you have to do to have an equal share of this money is crank this turret around and blow a hole in that door. [He points to the bank. The German officer thinks about it for about two seconds, then blows the bank doors]

Kelly’s Heroes 1970

With a large community like the Somali’s voting as a block that’s hundreds of thousands of votes. That’s enough votes to transform a state and all the Democrats had to do in order to secure these votes (legal or illegal) was to open up those bank doors and let the cash flow, so that means even if there is illegalities they are going to play ball because that means the state is secure no matter what the average citizen wants or things.

Bart Maverick: I keep adding up 5% of $80,000 and it keeps coming out four thousand every time.

Maverick: The Third Rider 1957

When you look at election 2024 it seems that Tim Walz is a ridiculous choice for a running mate for Kamala Harris. He has no speaking skills and he comes from a state that the GOP has not carried since 1972.

But if you know that Tim Watz’s is the governor of a state that’s raking in Billions of dollars of federal money via fraud even a small percentage of that going to your national campaign is enough to keep you in clover for a while.

Or did you think it was just luck that Kamala had so much dough to blow in a short campaign. I suspect it wasn’t all just relief that Biden was out of the way.

Col William Travis: Every minute of time we buy for Sam Houston is another precious minute in the life of Texas. And nobody is ever going to say that William Barrett Travis did not buy every minute possible.

The Alamo 1960

If this type of thing is happening in Minnesota it’s very likely that it’s happening in other blue states like Maine, Illinois, Washington and California. There are already signs that fraud is becoming apparent in these other places. You would think that they would want this story to go away but national democrats have gone all in on Minnesota. They understand that if massive federal resources have to go to Minnesota to stop the fraud and violence those resources can’t be used to see what’s going on in Maine, or Illinois, or Washington or California.

It’s a losing fight in the long run but every day of delay is a day that the grift can go on elsewhere and the evidence can be destroyed or hidden elsewhere and those days and that graft is precious to those Democrats as the lives of their children, likely even more.

Israeli Ambassador: Israeli Intelligence says that East Yemen are going to invade St George’s Island in the next few days.

Prime Minister James Hacker: What? So that’s the connection.

Israeli Ambassador: Your Foreign Office have agreed with East Yemen that they’ll make strong diplomatic representations, but do nothing. In return, the Yemenis will let you keep your airport contract after they’ve taken over.

Yes Prime Minister: A Victory for Democracy 1986

You might wonder why some GOP governors like the governor of Ohio is saying things like fraud being “The price of doing business”. It’s quite simple. While in blue states they left has control of the state in red states their control is limited to cities, but that means votes in the legislature, votes that can be given or withheld at the party’s whim. As the graft is the priority since it makes people rich, as long as the graft & fraud is left alone they can make deals. And if such a deal means that there is a key rep absent for a vote that a high ranking GOP official needs a priority that’s bigger politically then saving federal dollars, well as the governor says, that’s the price of doing business.
