US News: From Celebrity Resorts to Authoritarian Drift: Law, Media, and American Outrage

September 26, 2025

Celebrity Hypocrisy: A holiday heaven for communists ? Is this the same Robert De Niro? Well, don't tell anyone —it is only autocratic when President Trump does it. In 2015, actor Robert De Niro and billionaire James Packer purchased a resort on the island. The duo will renovate the former K Club resort for a projected US$250 million. Residents voted on the proposed venture in March 2015. 206 people voted in favor of the project, outscoring the 175 who contested the development. According to the Antigua Observer, some voters did not think the voting process was fair because there was no system in place to ensure all voters were citizens and that people only voted once. These same people also claim the vote was not anonymous. Sound familiar?

The new law gives the celebrity business partners incentives including a 25-year tax holiday in return for building the exclusive beachfront resort, which features an eco-lodge and yacht marina, and a new airport on Barbuda.

Legal Battles Against Trump: Court decision against Trump, overhaul of US health agency, suit against NYT. And here are two papers tracking the legal affairs: Lawfare Media and Just Security. You just wonder if the lawyers are the driving force, just to keep them on billing hours , or is it political motivation ?

The Democratic Breakdown: The Democratic breakdown— American authoritarian. For two years in the election cycle, presidential candidates have the opportunity to present to the voters (the basis for democracy) their ideas and actions they would take when elected. Then the party elected starts to implement the promises, and the loser calls it authoritarian? Is it a democratic breakdown, or is the opposing (loser) party simply in demonstrative opposition—fight, fight, fight—but what is their contribution to democracy? But did this not all happen under Obama and Biden , and currently in CA and IL? Why are the blue state trifectas thinking by their own rules? Competitive authoritarianism will transform political life in the United States. As Trump's early flurry of dubiously constitutional executive orders made clear, the cost of public opposition will rise considerably: Democratic Party donors may be targeted by the IRS; businesses that fund civil rights groups may face heightened tax and legal scrutiny or find their ventures stymied by regulators. Critical media outlets will likely confront costly defamation suits or other legal actions as well as retaliatory policies against their parent companies. Americans will still be able to oppose the government, but opposition will be harder and riskier, leading many elites and citizens to decide that the fight is not worth it.

And here's a scientific view on why we are heading toward dictatorship, but is the left thinking anarchy as the solution? It is a form of fight, fight, fight —or in other words, democracy is what Democrats want? Back and forth, endless debates as with immigration. Swamp leaders? Note: no one ever disputed legal immigration.

Kash Patel Hearings: And lastly, Kash Patel. Not sure if you heard the hearings, but if you are a Jasmine Crockett fan, perhaps rethink democracy. But Swalwell and Schiff are not much better, and Cory Booker took the prize—the examples of democracy.

The Democratic Party Shutdown Strategy: We've got ANTIFA and Weathermen in Congress, and a shutdown to please the 5%—is that a winning strategy? Perhaps a clear indication that the Democratic Party no longer exists. It is a Kimmel–Colbert–Springsteen sound-setting orchestra, with tunes from Rosie, Joy Reid, The View and Psaki, and MSNBC and other leftist commentators. Schumer and Jeffries are no longer relevant; the squad rule is on. Thank you, Bernie and Soros, but the shutdown will hopefully silence all government waste, a shutdown DOGE? If we miss you, we let you know, but for now, it is the Republicans in favor 70:30. Here's an explainer: fight, fight, fight against Trump—the only reasoning the Democrats offer these days. We need to elect politicians, not litigators and Soros activists. Axios has reported throughout the year how Hill Democrats have been besieged by an increasingly angry base demanding that they " fight harder " and "do something" about Trump. – In February, shortly after President Trump's inauguration, it was voters blowing up Democrats' phone lines with demands to "fight back" against DOGE. – In March, it was angry crowds gathered at town halls to chew Democrats out for purportedly not doing enough to resist Trump, which some lawmakers compared to the rise of the Tea Party. – By July, Democratic lawmakers were expressing concerns about their base demanding they put themselves in harm's way to draw attention to the administration's use of physical force. But it looks like the Democrats are united, with presidential candidates proposing and supporting the radical stance. Just wonder: Gavin Newsom urged Democrats to stand firm amid the government shutdown Friday, saying, "You lose leverage, you lose this country." ANTIFA leverage? The shutdown —essential and non-essential—or why are there government non-essential functions? Are the SPLC (no leftists), ACLU, ANTIFA , and the Redneck Revolt all part of non-essential feeding grounds? And what about academia ? Or are we at the start of a John Brown revolution, with unidentified actors/founders ? Portland, Oregon: Portland Oregon —why is ICE and the Trump administration so focused on Portland? It looks like an Eldorado to live in the state and city , but also a hotspot of the rebellion, because the elite rulers use it to provide what? A one-party state for many years . Oregon hasn't always had a lack of affordable housing, costly and poor-performing public schools, high taxes and heavy regulations on businesses, rampant drug addiction and homeless campers everywhere. Whom do you blame for all of this? Perhaps because people move there to live a hippy life—I mean a happy life—or the political mix. The people in rural areas don't care if the cities get waxed by anti-fascists. A 2008 analysis by political statistician Nate Silver on states' political ideology noted that the state's conservatives were the most conservative of any state (more so than Utah or Tennessee) and that the state's liberals were more liberal than any state (more so than Vermont or D.C.). For now, a Trump judge ruled in favor of ANTIFA . Let the demolition go on—happy winter. 'Justice has been served': Gov. Tina Kotek, others praise judge's ruling blocking troops to Portland. FBI Political Affiliations: Is the FBI politically Republican-charged? There is some social media claim that since the 1950s, no Democrat was leading the FBI. If you are counting James Comey, Robert Mueller, and Christopher Wray as Republicans, you perhaps need to note there is a litany of Trump haters in the Republican Party. But for good measure, it is called the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and nominations are approved by Congress and controlled by the AG and the US intelligence committee. Wonder why this is a question when Trump is president? Looks to me, with 90% lawyers on committees, like a straightforward legal matter. And shifting priorities —left and right have extreme activism . It is just a question of who you ask, so why not check them both accurately? But mental sickness is not part of an ideology—unless some publishers are politically biased.
