How It Went:   Governor Klink – in his “regular Joe” costume – claims credit for coining the “Weird” thing, the little playground chant that the Democrats apparently think is a political strategery

How It’s Going:  Wearing his “governor” costumer on Anderson Cooper, he’s dogpaddling away from the, er, phrase he claimed credit for it. 

And not only did I “bring the receipts”, as the kids are saying, but so did the entire mainstream media:

Huh.  Wonder why?

Any reason other than “he’s a mental lightweight with a thin skin who can’t articulate anything outiside an echo chamber, and has never faced any concerted opposition in his life”, I mean?

Remember “Journo-list?”  The top-secret, hush-hush chat room for “journalists” from fifteen years ago? 

If you don’t remember, that’s OK, because:

a) This bit here summarizes and parodies it pretty aptly, and

b) There’s no need to remember, because it’s happening today, again.

This time, it’s about the term “weird”. 

Every Democrat and media (ptr) figure has suddenly started using it.

This is intended to go viral among the clubby environs of local blue-city media – in this case, the Star-Tribune’s – what’s a good adjective – pointless Jennifer Brooks, whose column about the issue…:

…shows us what happened to those people who were writing all those “FIX INDIGESTION WITH THIS ONE WEIRD [!!!] TRICK” copywriters from ten years ago.

Did I say “clubby”?

We’ll unpack that statement in another post.

This is, of course, a classic instance of Berg’s Seventh Law .  They’re calling Republicans “weird” to deflect away from their very, very weird – no, bizarre – presidential candidate, at the head of a party that believes a lot of things that go way beyond “weird”. 

Once you understand that…

Socialism:   A system that has murdered 100 million people in the past century?

Or just another term for “Minnesota Nice?”

Governor Walz:

Klink, of course, has been practicing the rookie-league Beria handbook for years:

• Snitch Lines
• “Badthink” databases
• The relentless sorting and name-calling

Of course, Walz serves as governor solely at the sufference of the metro DFL establishment, which is increasingly dominated by actual socialists. He is nothing but their “moderate” beard.

But given Kamala Harris’s radicalism, will that be enough to get on the ticket?

I got this message the other day – presumably from the people who are frantically labeling “weird”:

“White Dudes for Harris”. 

I’m honestly torn.  Should I try to troll the “meeting”?   Probably won’t work – there are six digits of “attendees” in these zoom meetings. 

Or perhaps ignore completely?  Well, I’ve clearly not done that.

I guess that just leaves mockery.

How it went, 16 days ago:

How it’s going:

So it seems there was a brief moment when DFLers thought actions had consequences. 

Oh, so brief.

Someone wanna explain how this isn’t a call to more violence?

Re:  Tim “Governor Klink” Walz

America,

Some of you – OK, most of you – may be getting your first introduction to Governor Tim Walz, as the noise machine frantically tries to position him as a viable VP candidate. 

“Small town regular Joe” is one of the costumes he puts on, complete with an ancient International Scout and an NRA cap…

…well, no.  He ditched the NRA cap when he had to power-suckup to the “progressive”/Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) wing of the party to beat back Erin Murphy and Erin Maye Quade in the primary in 2018.  He still puts on the costume on occasion – the DFL sends a social media intern with him for pictures at the lake, or driving the Scout, or having Peggy Flanagan feed him a corn dog. 

Anyway – if the news blitz is your first introduct5ion to Governor Klink, let’s go through some pros and cons of him and his administration.

Cons of Tim Walz

• Led the plundering of an $18B surplus, leaving the state with what will likely be at least a $2B deficit later this year.  Minimum.
• Turned a deaf ear to the most epic wave of corruption in Minnesota history, as DFL stakeholders from the DSA non-profit/industrial complex pillaged a bare minimum of a half billion dollars worth of funds “intended” to “feed hungry children” during the pandemic…
• …after having been equally incurious about at least $250M being piillaged by some of these same stakeholders from Health and Human Services budgets. 
• Like many governors, he assumed emergency powers in March 2020, when nobody knew muich about the pandemic.  He announced that, according to the model he’d gotten from the Minnesota Department of Health, Minnesota faced upward of 70,000 deaths in the next four months – perhaps 20,000 as a best case scenario if the state shut down completely and submitted to draconian control of society.   By May, it was clear that the model was wrong – at which time the administration declared the model double-dog top secret, because in the words of an MDH staffer at one of his press conferences, “people might reach different conclusions”.  Y’know – try to reproduce results.  Like actual scientists, as opposed to propagandists, do. 
• He created castes of “essential workers” – which included grocery store workers (but only at “big box” stores), liquor stores, “the World’s Largest Candy Store” (run by a campaign contributor, as luck would have it),
• In particular, he instituted rules in nursing homes that created absolute carnage among seniors.  Minnesota had among the worst death rates in the nation among people in long term care – up there with New York City.  For this alone, I’ve got beef with the little fella – this happened right as my stepfather died and I needed to move my mom to Minnesota.  There was a six month delay – which caused plenty of other problems. 
• Notwithstanding that the “emergency” was effectively over in three months – six if you want to be cautious to the point of paranoia – he held onto “emergency powers” for well over a year and a half. 
• After the death of George Floyd, he publicly sided with Floyd, long before any facts were known about the incident.  Which contributed to the 2020 Riots. 
• During those 2020 riots, he followed his bureaucratically-defined role to an anal-retentive “T” – even publicly chiding Mayor Frey for not submitting a cover sheet on his TPS form when requesting the National Guard.  But he ceded the “bully pulpit” to the rioters and their symps in state government .  And to his daughter, who served as a source of intel for the rioters regarding police and Guard movements. 
• He also coddled lawlessness within government; when “protesters” tore down a statue of Christopher Columbus on the State Capitol Mall as his Capitol police looked on, he giggled until his belly jiggled like a bowl of jello. 
• He has actively contributed to the tribalizing of Minnesota politics. 
• On his watch, crime in Minnesota in general is up by at least 50% since he assumed office.
• On the other hand, capital is leaving the state.  Movers and shakers, entrepreneurs (other than coffee shops, which along with small political consultancies are the only for-profit businesses DFLers even pretend to understand), retirees – they’re leaving the state and taking their money with them.  Minnesota’s net wealth is down by billions. 
• Young people are also leaving Minnesota, reversing decades of Minnesota as a destination for young people just getting started on careers and life.  I was one of them, once.  If I were me, today, and not seeking a career in government or the non-profit/industrial complex, I wouldn’t do it again. 

Pros of Tim Walz

He spends a lot of money at the State Fair.

That pretty much it.

Re:  Your Heardland Credentials

Governor Klink, putatively a Veep candidate – is burnishing his “heartland” creds:

You know what it’s really not about?

Calling most of “your” state “nothing but rocks and cows”.   We’re really not about that. 

In theory, we’re not into being something different today than you were yesterday which was different than 2006…:

One thing you do still have is your “badthink” databvase. I bet I’m on it.

That is all.

Last week, our intrepid news media were falling all over themselves trying to find Donald Trump’s medical records, to verify that he’d almost been shot in the head. 

Today? 

President?  What President?

If it happened in Belarus, Burundi, or Myanmar, Joe Biden’s blitzkrieg withdrawal from the presidential race would have inspired eye rolls. We jettisoned an incumbent president’s re-election campaign with all the pomp of an NFL practice squad transaction, announcing the move via a blip of a social media post. Only in America is anyone tempted to take such head-scratching events at face value.

You think you hate the media – but it’s still not enough.

Biden is out.

Harris is in. – and is the presumptive nominee…

…maybe.   We’ll know in three-ish weeks. 

So how does Trump react?

My humble opinion – there’s no need to react to any of them differently, at least as individuals. they all different faces of the same machine; the same back-room figures who animated our current occupant in terms of policy will be pulling the levers and wires behind Harris, Newsom, Gretchen Whitmer.

There was, and may remain,  about of speculation that Tim Walz could wind up on one of the potential VP short lists.

My fearless predication:  if Walz oozes onto a ticket, it’ll be terrible news for Democrats, not merely because Walz is a chameleon who turns into whatever he needs to turn into for expediency’s sake – that’s no different than Harris, Newsom, Whitmer of any of them. 

But there are two reasons to pick a Veep candidate:

• Shore up a key state, region or constituency:  That’s why Mike Pence, George HW Bush, not to mention Biden and Harris themselves, got their nods; to shore up the POTUS candidates support respectively among evangelicals, moderates, moderates and progressives.
• To serve as the President’s political enforcer/”Bad Cop”:  That was the purpose LBJ served for Kennedy, in terms of legislative support.  I think it’s why Trump picked Vance.

HarrisNewsomWhitmer need the former; current polling shows them weak in all sorts of important states.  Governors Josh Sharpiro (PA) and Andy Bashear (KY) could buoy a Democrat campaign’s chances in some key swing states.

What does Walz bring? 

Minnesota.

A state the Democrats consider theirs as a birthright. 

If the pick Governor Walz for Veep, that’s a sign the DNC is “breaking the glass”. 

No surprise that Joe Biden has ended his campaign. He’s been a fugitive from Madame Tussauds for a long time now and even when he was at the height of his powers, he was at best a 10-watt bulb. He has been a horrible buffoon and genuine menace to the body politic for a half century and his departure from the field is long overdue. I have long thought Bill Clinton was the most despicable person to occupy the Oval Office, but Biden provides strong competition for the title.

Kamala Harris is, at this point, the frontrunner for the Donks, but it remains to be seen if the powers that be on the port side are willing to let her be the nominee. Not sure they are. My guess is they would rather have a fresh face without the associated baggage to take on the Bad Orange Man. Who would that be? I can think of a few possibilities, in order of plausibility:

Josh Shapiro, Governor of Pennsylvania

Roy Cooper, Governor of North Carolina

Andy Beshear, Governor of Kentucky

Gretchen Whitmer, Governor of Michigan

Of that group, Whitmer likely has the highest profile, which is what makes her the least likely possibility. She’s got a definite air of Nurse Ratched about her and the only demographic that finds her appealing is human resources managers. Given his overall greasiness and demonstrably dismal performance, I don’t think Gavin Newsom is the one, nor do I see Pritzker of Illinois having a shot either. There are some delusional types (Betty McCollum, for example) who are touting Tim Jong Walz as a possible dark horse, but he’s a sputtering moron who would have no chance unless the entire Washington press corps morphs into Esme Murphy. And you can forget Skeletor Evers next door as well, as he has the charisma of lint.

I don’t doubt there will be any number of other adventures before we get to November; I would not be surprised if another assassination attempt is forthcoming, nor would I be surprised if the corrupt judge in the New York trial that saddled Trump with a bunch of “felonies” tries to put Trump in Rikers in the general population. Any other guesses? Place yer bets.

“Frumming (Verb):  To compare two radically different things as if they were the same, by leaving out dispositively vital context. 

Example:

Variations: Frummery:  (Noun):  “It was pure frummery to compare the records of the two presidents by dishonestly leaving out the pandemic”. 

The party that thinks women dressing in the ketchup bottle costumes from Handmaid’s Tale is utterly profoundly meaningful and not a little bit mawkish or cloying or hyperdramatic…

…has suddenly developed scruples about costume accessories?

There are better people to comment on the ups and downs of JD Vance’s selection for Veep.

He’s got my paleocon friends riled up, and the left are certainly in a lather (which they’d have been no matter who Trump picked, so no matter).

But I’ll say this:

Vance is going to bludgeon Harris in a debate.

Is it just me, or is Joe Biden throwing everything he can find at the wall to see what buys votes?

First, its “national rent control”:

President Joe Biden is ready to propose a 5% cap on annual rent increases for tenants of major landlords as he tries to show he’s doing something about the high cost of housing, according to a person familiar with the plan.

The proposal, to be announced while the president visits Nevada on Tuesday, is being championed by Biden in the middle of a tense presidential campaign and a time when housing costs have been a major driver of overall inflation.

Because that did so much good for “affordable housing” in New York, San Francisco, Minneapolis and Saint Paul..

But that’s just retail Democrat pettifoggery.  Next, he goes big:

This is a play for the “ignorant low-information emotion-driven” voter bloc, which elections since 2000 show is between 48-52% of the electorate. 

The “rent control”, like his “student loan forgiveness”, is a violation of the Takings clause.  Expanding the court without a very solid congressional majority, merely a delusion.

In 2016, I was a Trump skeptic. I voted for Scott Walker (who I still think would have made, and would make, a great President, in the same way Ron DeSantis would, and hopefully will in four years).

As I noted on the eve of the 2016 election, and as we awaited the inauguration, I agreed with fellow Trump skeptic Dennis Prager; I was a little apprehensive, but I figured if we got a good SCOTUS nominee out of the deal, it’d all wash out over time.

Trump turned out to be a good President on a policy level (I have to strenuously ignore “rhetorical Trump” to focus on “policy Trump”) – and we got three good, solid conservative justices out of the term.

Is it just me, or is this post from last Friday by President Biden’s social media intern a little extra ordinary?

I don’t recall a president ever feeling the need to tell the American people “BECAUSE I’M DADDY, SO DON’T MAKE STOP THIS CAR”.

Not even Nixon had to remind people he was still in charge, IIRC.

So the Strib is on the news like a Grateful Dead fan on that last bag of Fritos:

“Democrats in Minnesota and US ignored voter concerns about Biden’s age”.

That, they did.

But…

…but…

…isn’t there something missing?

Like, maybe the Star Tribune?

MPR News?

The Four, the Five, the Nine and the Eleven?

Did they not spend the last fuve years studiously ignoring Biden’s age, or attacking the messengers? “Fact-checking” any claims that an 81-year-old Biden wasn’t more physically imposing than a 40 year old Chuck Norris? Clobbering Big Blue at chess, while teaching a legion of celebrity chefs how it’s done in his spare time?

And this is nothing new. There’s a very long list of stories the media did their darnedest to squash, deplatform or defame until it was politically impossible to carry on – after which, straight out of Orwell, they abruptly reversed course?

• Biden’s cognitive state
• Russian collusion
• The Charlottesville “Perfectly fine people” slander
• The psychological, legal, social and economic effects of the Covid lockdowns/
• Long term effects of “gender affirming care” (that one’s still in progress)
• Everything to do with the Steele Dossier
• Russian bounties for US soldiers in Afghanistan
• “Drink Bleach”
• The Ivermectin story
• The cops “Tear-gassed protesters” before a Trump photo op
• Hunter’s laptop was “Russian disinformation”
• Trump called the dead of D-Day “losers”
• Putting unaccompanied children in cages along the border was Obama policy
• Eastern Europe was going to be an economic failure after the collapse of communism
• Reagan had nothing to do with the fall of the USSR
• Walter Duranty deserved a Pulitzer

There’s more. Leave additions in the comments.

Someone – I think it was Ayaan Hirsi Ali – said “don’t judge the Muslims you know by what Islam is, and don’t judge Islam according to the Muslims you know”.

I think that goes for MSM “journalists” as well. Some (Tom Hauser, Fred Melo) do a good, diligent job. But the media (as we showed them admitting almost eight years ago) not only don’t, but have no intention to .

While listening to the debate last week, I did hear one line that I fully expected Big Left’s chattering classes to try to exploit: Trump noted that illegal immigration would heavily impact “black jobs”.

And that brought out the heckling class:

Do you notice a pattern?

It’s a diverse crowd of hecklers. Some of them are upper middle-to-upper-class media figures:

Or parts of the political class, either those who’ve made it…

…or are working on breaking in:

And some who just won’t go away:

And more who are attached to the system like barnacles to a ship that needs a drydocking:

Or highly accomplished professionals:

Or upper-middle-class academics:

Etc, etc.

Of course, it’s as selective as every other lefty chanting point, both in terms of their own rhetoric…

…and the fact that none of them are part of the group whose jobs are being taken by illegals.

Every Democrat, for the past 24 hours or so:

SCOTUS: You can’t just throw your rival in prison because you don’t like him.

DEMOCRATS: So you’re saying we can drop bombs on him?

SCOTUS: You really can’t even charge your rival with a crime because his presidency made you mad.

DEMOCRATS: Got it. So we can incinerate his house with him in it?

SCOTUS: The Constitution protects officials from being terrorized with lawfare for official actions they undertook while in office.

DEMOCRATS: Ah. Makes sense. So we can officially assassinate everyone we don’t like?

SCOTUS: Prosecuting a politician because you don’t like his politics would destroy our country, and we’re not going to allow it.

DEMOCRATS: Roger that. So what you’re saying is: we are officially allowed to eliminate Trump and the Supreme Court as long as we, like, say it’s official and stuff?

While I wish I could claim it, it’s actually Sean Davis’s bit.

And it’s been all over social media this past day or so.

At first blush, the question might seem to be “why do so many Democrat chanting heads have so much trouble with the phrase ‘”‘presidents have immunity from criminal prosecution for acts that are within the ambit of their executive authority'”?

But of course it’s not. The “elite” among the chanting heads know perfectly well that the SCOTUS just made a fairly moderate decision, remanding the case back to the lower court to sort out what behavior is public and what is private.

But that interpretation – the correct one – is too pollyannaish.

The Democrats, now that they’re committed to running the senile, doddering Biden – need to come up with some way of dragging the corpse across the line.

Panicking people by claiming this ruling gives a president absolute power, in a cycle where the Democrats only campaign hook is “ORANGE MAN LITERALLY HITLER” is the purpose.

“BUT!”, Democrats respond, “this lays the groundwork for unquestioned power!”

George Washington was offered a crown and the ground floor in a hereditary aristocracy.

Abraham Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus.

Woodrow Wilson used the “Sedition Act” to imprison political foes.

FDR trampled the Constitution in pursuit of socializing swathes of the American economy, and unilaterally imprisoned innocent Japanese-American citizens.

FDR, Truman, Ike, JFK, LBJ and Nixon to various degrees all used the FBI and CIA to spy on domestic opponents.

Obama used the military to extrajudicially murder an American citizen, used Federal law enforcement to try to discredit American gun stores and owners (leading to the death of an American border patrol agent and many Mexicans), sicced the IRS on the Tea Party, and used the FBI to spy on the Trump campaign.

And, oh yeah, Biden has set a politicized DOJ on his own political opponent – part of a pattern of corruption in the institutions that those institutions aren’t even being coy about.

The “roadmap” has always been there; the President already has unlimited power, if they want to use it – especially with the logarithmic growth in executive-branch power since the Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson administrations.

A president needs power to do the job to which they’ve been elected; deciding how much power, and keeping that power in check, has always been the job of a free people and its institutions.

The Democrats apparently believe Biden is the lesser of the various available evils:

Expect that the folks who want to be convinced will feel relief, even get a sugar high from Biden’s best moments. Biden supporters will be on an emotional rollercoaster. Until the roller coaster pulls back into the boarding station, it will appear that the campaign is moving fast along the track. 

Yes. It really will take a while for Biden’s poll numbers to show that his campaign cannot recover. And even more surprising, expect that many Democrats will commit to voting for him no matter what, even were he in a coma…[and speaking of which] The professional Democrats all know that this is a disaster, and all of us should, too. Short-term ups and downs mean nothing for one simple reason: no number of good moments or days will be able to hide the fact that the number of bad moments, hours, and days will only increase as time goes on. 

That is how dementia works. It is inexorable and an ugly process. 

My schadenfreud at the Dems being committed to a sinking ship is tempered by what should be human compassion. As I’ve noted elsewhere, Biden appears to be suffering from the early stages of some kind of dementia. I lost my Mom to Alzheimers two years ago, and it is a merciless, remorseless bitch. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone short of Kim Jong Un.

The bad – or worse – news? Expect the social gaslighting to become intolerable.

Indeed – we only needed to wait til mid-day yesterday for it to symphonically swell.

More on that mid-day today.

We were told that Joe Biden is so on top of things, he can type in different languages on different iPhones at the same time.

Remember this?

The most credible people ever – dare I say, our “best and brightest” – assured us that Joe Biden at 82 is like Chuck Norris at 40:

And then came Thursday night:

And it took about four hours for all of that “Joe Biden is a modern titan!” to vanish down the memory hole:

Bear in mind, that the Democrat establishment is panicked about their candidate’s electoral viability.

Not the fact that he’s the guy with “the football”.

Not the fact that America’s enemies, who’ve been feasting on America’s diminishing potency, have got to be looking at the fact that America is led by a senile man, his power-mad Edith Wilson-style wife, and a coterie of useless Ivy League political staffers and grifters, and seeing that the shelf date might just end in 2025, not 2029. And maybe planning accordingly:

U.S. military bases in Europe were put on a heightened state of alert over the weekend as installations urged vigilance among their members. At U.S. European Command headquarters in Stuttgart, the Army garrison on Sunday issued a communitywide alert that the force protection threat level was elevated to condition “Charlie” until further notice. Similar directives were sent to other bases in Germany, including the Army’s Rheinland-Pfalz and Ramstein Air Base, which together form the largest U.S. military community overseas. The Rheinland-Pfalz garrison alert includes Baumholder and outlying installations in Romania and Bulgaria. Aviano Air Base in Italy also rose its condition level to Charlie, and other installations in Italy introduced enhanced security measures. The Charlie threat level “applies when an incident occurs or intelligence is received indicating some form of terrorist action or targeting against personnel or facilities is likely,” according to the Army’s website.

I have a sneaking suspicion Iran and its proxies, and Red China and theirs, are seeing a six month opening to make hummus or kimchi while the sun shines on a world where the keepers of Pax Americana have taken an ice cream break.

Some are saying “I told you so”:

And they – we – are right, because that same media that ran interference and told us not to believe our lying eyes, is trying to gaslight us in the other direction:

So what options do they have?

Pulling the plug on Biden may not be as simple as just having him step aside, even if he releases the 99% of the convention delegates currently committed to him:

That brings us back to [Bill Maher’s proposal, in the post linked] of simply handing the nomination to the nearest white male while overlooking Biden’s current running mate, the black woman Biden selected to be the next in line. The center-Left part of the party might — might — go along with that idea out of desperation. The progressive Left, as Matthews astutely points out, would go into an utter meltdown. Harris’ allies don’t want to win by giving up any power at all. 

And in a real sense, they’d be correct to oppose it. Harris may not have been on the primary ballots this year, but Biden won 99% of the delegates with Harris explicitly remaining on the ticket. Newsom never even bothered to enter the race. If Biden pulls out, those delegates may be released in a legal sense, but Harris and her progressive allies have a very good argument that primary voters endorsed her as well as Biden. And you’d better believe that the same progressives that are conducting Occupy operations on college campuses and highways to support radical jihadi terrorists in Gaza will show up in much more force if Democrats pull a back-room switcheroo that leaves Harris without a seat when the music ends. 

And you’d better believe the center-Left knows it, too…having anointed her as capable of being One Heartbeat Away in not one but two presidential cycles now, Democrats can’t just toss her into the garbage now. How do they explain her being competent enough to be Biden’s backup but not to run in his place?

Long story short – the Dems may have no choice but to triple down on gaslighting the public. They can count on it working with 33% of the population, anyway.

This is as concise a riposte as I’ve seen:

I’m a little saltier about this: I think abolishing the Electoral College is ample grounds for dissolving the Republic.

Jamaal Bowman, perhaps the dumbest member of a dumb “Squad”, is on his way to his non-profit reward:

Progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., suffered a primary defeat Tuesday to a moderate challenger who was backed by pro-Israel groups, NBC News projected, following a bitter and expensive race that exposed the party’s divisions over the war in Gaza.

The race between Bowman and Westchester County Executive George Latimer in New York’s 16th District drew more ad spending — $25 million, according to the ad tracking firm AdImpact — than any other House primary in history. Nearly $15 million of that spending came from the United Democracy Project, a super PAC linked to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a powerful pro-Israel lobby, which backed Latimer.

With 84% of the vote in as of Wednesday morning, Latimer led Bowman by a wide margin, 58.4% to 41.6%.

Don’t get too excited – Bowman “represents” (for now) a very Jewish district. His approach to the Gaza war may have been the most tone deaf in history.

Still, it’s good to see him gone.

Perhaps you heard – conservatives won big in EU elections last weekend.

You might have missed it, because the news only referred to “the far right” – as if Francisco Franco were back from the dead.

Indeed, it’s yet another term that today’s left have rendered meaningless:

Let not pretend this is accidental. Big Left has been working for decades to gain control of the language and its perception. The systematic turning of all “right wing’ thought into some neo-fascist aberration shifted into high gear in 2009, when Obama’s Homeland Security czaritsa Janet Napolitano told the nation’s law enforcement “don’t mind all those leftist terrorists, watch out for all that right wing terror which is going to come out of nowhere someday, pinky swear!”.

Just watch – in a month, NPR and the NYTimes will furrow their brows and wonder why society has had a “Big Sort”…

The good news: these sorts of results usually bode well for elections in America, at least for the upcoming cycle.
