Panic at the effectiveness

The God-Emperor is taking effective action – and it is vital that he does not back down!

Panic broke out after Department of Homeland Security issued a directive at 4:30 pm on Friday enforcing Trump’s executive order to close down the borders to refugees and visa holders from a list of banned Muslim-majority countries. In addition to Iran, the other countries on Trump’s blacklist are Iraq, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia.

Reports of people being detained were coming from all around the United States on Saturday. ‘They’re literally pouring in by the minute,’ director of the International Refugee Assistance Project Becca Heller told the New York Times.

About 50 people were held at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, USA Today reported. Fifty people were also detained at Dulles International Airport, where protesters gathered. Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe and Attorney General Mark Herring have said the state could take legal action against the ban.

One Yale student said he would be unable to attend the prestigious Ivy League university. Another student from the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology said he was barred from boarding a plane. A Stanford University student, a Sudanese national and legal permanent resident with a green card, was held for eight hours at JFK before being able to return to California. An Iranian scientist was meant to fly to Boston to study cardiovascular medicine at Harvard but has now had his visa suspended indefinitely.

You know, I’m feeling the high energy. I think it’s time for a second Darkstream now. The replay is here.

UPDATE: Hilarious! The reason Saudis aren’t on the list is obvious. The only country TRUMP singled out is Syria, for obvious reasons. The other six countries ARE NOT EVEN LISTED by the God-Emperor. Seriously.

I had to see for myself, so I read the executive order.  The order does seek “to protect the American people from terrorist attacks by foreign nationals admitted to the United States.” It says that it seeks “Suspension of Issuance of Visas and Other Immigration Benefits to Nationals of Countries of Particular Concern.”

The other six Countries of Particular Concern were listed as such BY THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION!

Darkstream: exclamation point

Tonight, at 6 PM Eastern, I’ll be discussing the God-Emperor’s speech today and the Mexican gambit. It’s an hour earlier than usual because I’m on with Stefan later tonight.

By the way, from July 20, 2009 to January 17, 2017, Barack Obama never enjoyed as high a Presidential Approval Rating, at 59 percent, that Donald Trump presently has. Obama peaked at 67 percent on January 25, 2009, and it was literally all downhill from there.

UPDATE: the replay is here.

Darkstream: winning at the moral level

Tonight’s Darkstream will be at 7:30 PM Eastern, and in light of recent events, will address 4GW and winning at the moral level. Sign up here to catch it. My intention is to turn it into the 10-minute equivalent of the last post of the day, leaving you with something to discuss until the morning.

Also, we’ll be having the first Brainstorm of 2017 next week. I hope to have all the final details we discussed at the last one wrapped up this weekend; invites will go out Monday evening.

UPDATE: The replay is available here for the next 24 hours.

Inaugural Darkstream

I’ll be doing a ‘scope tonight to discuss the inauguration of the God-Emperor at 7 PM Eastern. If you want to tune in, comment, and ask questions, be sure to follow me here so that you’ll be alerted when it goes live.

This is the open thread to discuss the ascendance of the God-Emperor to the Cherry Blossom Throne today.

UPDATE: All right, we’re on in 10.

UPDATE: If you’d like to watch the replay of The God-Emperor Ascends, in which I discuss the 10 points that most struck me about Donald Trump’s speech today, you can do so here.
