He Asked Us To Come

by Medron Pryde on January 4, 2026 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

Remember that the self-styled President of Venezuela asked us to come. The video I saw looks real to me, and I’m an awful suspicious sort when it comes to this kind of stuff.

And as suspicious as I am, I think the video is real. That he really was boasting like a dictator and daring us to come in and take him. It’s the common tough guy act. Tell someone you think is too scared to do something to come do it, and show how tough you are when they don’t. When they back down and run away.

The problem is that America is a lot like the fae. Do not idly make deals with us, because we enforce our deals before the court. And one never knows what part of the deal we will enforce. In this case, we offered him a lot of deals to walk out quietly. Deals we would have honored to the letter. Whatever that letter was. So he told us to come in and take him. So we did. He offered us the deal and we took it.

And what did we do? Did we shoot him on the spot? No. We had a far worse punishment in mind.

We are taking him before the court.

Venezuela

by Medron Pryde on January 3, 2026 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

America hit Venezuela last night with over one hundred aircraft, supporting drones, and enough ground forces, probably Marines, to generate local air and ground superiority over the local armed forces. We suppressed local air defenses enough that helicopters could move in, drop their troops, and send law enforcement in to arrest the self-titled President of Venezuela. Remember that he lost the last election, then declared he won, and dared everybody to do something about it.

Today, someone did something about it, arrested him and his wife before they could even get to their safe door, put them onto the helicopters, and took them back to the American fleet. Reports are that they are now in New York City being given the charges they were charged with years ago.

I don’t know where we go from here. I don’t know how other countries react. What I do know is this. This is the second nation whose military air defense was provided by the Soviets, the Russians, or the Chinese (all of whom use Soviet-derived technology) that our air force, or an air force using our technology, has suppressed to the point that we were able to send in planes that were never even seen by the local defenders or air defense systems. This is a crushing technological advantage that we have shown in the last year.

I don’t know what that says for full scale war, if we see it in the future. But in limited strikes like this, we have shown that our training and technology are so far advanced that the enemy can KNOW we are coming, be fully prepared for us to come, and we still just roll in on the night we choose, do what we want to do, and roll back out without anybody shooting our people down. On the other side of the world, or in our own backyard. This is a truly crushing technology and training advantage, and I think it is making everybody else question if they want to really fight us. At least I hope that is what it is doing.

We shall see I think.

Socialism and Food

by Medron Pryde on January 2, 2026 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

One of the more amusing things to come out of the new mayor celebration in New York City was one of the complaints that has been made famous.

Someone who came all the way from who knows where to see the first openly socialist mayor of New York City complained that there weren’t bathrooms or food.

Food.

A Socialist is being crowned mayor of New York City, and there isn’t enough food for the people to celebrate without being hungry.

Something about that just seems… historically accurate.

I do wish more people would read history and understand it. If more people did, they wouldn’t be as surprised at the things that Socialists do when they get into power.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year to everyone.

My New Years Resolution is to be as much like the person I was last year as possible. Though I am working on getting my back muscles working the way they should again, so in that way I intend to be better than last year.

In personality, I will be me once more. You’re welcome. A friendly tip for another year!

🙂

Nine Billion

by Medron Pryde on December 31, 2025 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

We were hearing about one billion dollars in fraud in Minnesota perpetrated by the Somali refugees a couple months ago, and hearing that it might be more. Some of the estimates went as high as eight billion dollars, and I did the math and that was nearly 2,000 dollars per Minnesotan citizen. And I asked, if that number was right, what could you all do with 2,000 dollars? Well, now the number is NINE billion, and they think there is more, and their investigating to see if they can find more. And they’re finding more in other States. So its not just Minnesota. How much is the total going to be? I have no idea. But I’m betting it will be more than 2,000 dollars per citizen moving forward, and that is a lot of money. A person can do a lot with that kind of money. As we see from all the BMWs and everything else a certain segment of the population is sporting. But what do I know? I don’t have enough money to buy a BMW or an Apple Phone. I mean, I WORK for a living. 😉
