This week’s rant concerns two possible ironies. The mid-terms in the USA are almost upon us or rather them. Now as usual the polls are indicating massive Democrat success and we all know how much to trust polls and the lefty luvvies in the media are predicting much doom and gloom for the Republicans and their special target Donald J Trump. Any legitimate grievances against the GOP will be cost of living and especially cost of gasoline/diesel related. Of course much of this has been exacerbated by the situation in Iran. On the other hand the latest Israeli election will probably result in the lunatic Netanyahu staying on as Prime Minister. As a caveat I well remember the watchword of the Israeli state that the Arabs can lose many times but Israel can only lose once. I fear Netanyahu steps well beyond that boundary.
It is reasonably certain that Israel in the shape of Netanyahu suckered the USA into their Middle East adventure against Iran. Whether the Donald is totally pro Israel or Israel have blackmail material against him is yet to be proven but they certainly know how to twist his arm. The irony is this, Netanyahu has managed to come out of this on what looks to be the winning side in electoral terms whereas it is possible the GOP will suffer losses in the mid-terms because of his support for Israel.
Meanwhile there is another ironical situation developing in Poland of all places. The EU and its lickspittle Donald Tusk attempted a judicial revolution, aka a coup, while the Polish President was away in Senegal. Before we look any further let it be noted that Fonda Lying was in Canada when it happened trying to entice the Canadians into an ill advised closer relationship with the slowly collapsing European experiment. There will be much “Nothing to do with me guv” from the sainted Ursula, the evil crone.
The plot centred around an attempt to rig the Constitutional Court with lefty and pro EU judges. The only person who can swear in judges to that court is the President who was on his way to Senegal. The top judge tried to remove some judges and replace them doing the swearing in herself. Of course Tusk was centre stage in all this and had sent hundreds of police to the building to stop anyone interfering in his plans, no doubt dictated by the satraps in Brussels.
There are various versions of how it all unfolded but one thing is certain. The President was warned of this plot beforehand. Some reports say by the Russians, others say it was the Americans who passed the word. The President was prepared and took off en route for Senegal knowing what was about to happen. His plane had got as far as Spain when he was told what was happening and he immediately returned to Warsaw. Some versions say he did not fly at all but was still in Poland. As the plane returned it was denied permission to land at a military base but the military pilots ignored that and landed anyway.
The President then headed to the Constitutional Court, where the police had sealed it off and barged his way through them to harangue the woman judge who had stepped way above her pay grade and had attempted some jiggery pokery with the appointment of judges. The President then stayed there until it had all been scotched.
This was of course an attempted globalist coup orchestrated by the EU. The lefties are saying on X that it was all legitimate and Tusk is a hero for fighting the far right and keeping Poland in the EU. The other side have the opposite view. Tusk himself is keeping a very low profile and may even have fled Poland. Many collars will be felt as a result of all this, the charge will be treason.
Who knows what the EU wanted in the long term, probably to ensure there would never be a chance of Poland leaving their beloved Union. The coup was a struggle over who could appoint judges but the objective was to have EU compliant people in those positions. The bureaucrats in Brussels are very fond of bossing the smaller or less wealthy countries around such as Hungary and Romania but Poland is much larger and wealthier. Not so easy to push the Poles around is it.
The other big question for the Poles is their refusal to bow to demands from Brussels that they allow millions of undocumented migrants to grace their country. It has worked out so well for the other countries who have allowed this to happen.
I think it unlikely that Poland will leave the EU anytime soon, they get, or at least used to, billions each year from Brussels but if their coup failed they may find ways to reduce that amount. In fact I remember their income from Brussels was about the same as we used to pay in. Ironically the end result may well be a very sceptical Polish population who can now see the EU for the power mad collection of politicians it really is.
A tale of two Donalds indeed, Tusk is very much on the losing side even though his supporters are still trying to salvage the situation. Trump remains President whatever happens, if his party loses out in the mid-terms it will make his life a lot more difficult but will not result in him losing his job.
As of the evening of 1st November it has all gone very quiet. Our MSM is acting like nothing happened, Donald Tusk is nowhere to be seen and confusion reigns. I did read the EU demanded that the polish Parliament be allowed to appoint judges but you would expect nothing else.
