Did it warm your heart to see all those blue and yellow Ukrainian flags waved by our elected officials in Congress Saturday night with the passage of the $60-plus-billion aid bill to the Palookaville of Europe? You realize, don’t you, that the tiny fraction of that hypothetical “money” — from our country’s empty treasury — that ever reaches Ukraine will rebound on the instant into Mr. Zelensky’s Cayman Islands bank account. The rest of the dough enters the recursive shell-game between US weapons-makers and the very hometown folks in Congress waving those blue and yellow flags, who will receive great greasy gobs of fresh “campaign donations” from the grateful bomb and missile producers. No wonder they’re cheering.
What the $60-plus-billion won’t do is provide any fresh arms and equipment to Ukraine’s sad-sack army soon enough to prevent Russia from bringing this cruel, stupid, and unnecessary war, which we started, to a close. Yes, we started it, not Russia, in 2014 with our Intel blob overthrowing elected President Viktor Yanukovych in the so-called “Maidan Revolution of Dignity” (what Wikipedia calls it). And for what reason? To jam Ukraine into NATO as a prelude to “weakening” Russia sufficient to bust it up and gain control over Russian oil, ores, and grain.
Yes, that was actually the neocon’s game, equal parts megalomania and hubris, a fiasco as strategically ill-fated as Hitler’s push to gain control of Russia’s oil fields via Stalingrad in 1942-3. With failure and humiliation looming in Ukraine, the blob’s objective for now, in theory, is the vain hope of prolonging the hostilities just long enough to get its hologram president, “Joe Biden” re-elected, so that said blob can continue its amoebic digestion of what’s left uneaten by it in our sore-beset republic. You’ve got to wonder, of course, what this blob thinks will remain to rule over when it’s done gobbling up everything and jailing everyone from sea to shining sea who objects.
You tell me what conceivable way Ukraine can prevail in this proxy war now without just tripping off the civilization-ending nuke exchange? America does not have enough tactical missiles and artillery shells at hand to send over there. What we did have is gone. NATO never had much to begin with. Ukraine has run out of available cannon-fodder to conscript from its dwindling population. Despite Mr. Macron’s recent bluster, NATO can’t raise a credible army, or even agree on which country would send what. Nobody is riding to the rescue. Instead, Russia is fortifying its home-grown armaments industry and its military while systematically turning off the electricity all over Ukraine by blowing up the power stations. Very soon, Ukraine will be reduced to medieval living conditions — no lights, no phones, no Internet, no shopping, no ability to conduct modern warfare. End. . . of. . . story.
This is apt to play out much faster than America’s blob-controlled news media will be able to lie about. I’d guess it can be functionally over before mid-summer. The result will be yet another humiliation on the “Joe Biden” scorecard. When it’s over, you can be sure the Russians will abstain from an end-zone dance so as not to provoke America’s genius-losers into some final petty grand act of requital. Russia will just soberly declare what is self-evident: that for centuries Ukraine has been in its sphere-of-influence, as Mexico is in ours, and that they have reestablished the natural order of things in that corner of the world.
After that, America and the rest of Western Civ can get on with the collapse of their financial system and very likely a period of profound political and economic chaos in which governments fall, nations change boundaries and shapes, and their populations suffer dramatically from an imploded standard of living. That process may actually play out somewhat slower than the end of the Ukraine war over the coming years. It will look like a combined game of musical chairs and hot potato, with the opportunities to get a seat steadily fading, and the losers left holding things they can’t handle.
In the meantime, our country — remember it, the USA, when it had its once-enviable mojo working? — is busy being insane and finding sixty ways to Sunday to commit suicide. How do you suppose the Democratic Party will actually pretend to put up “Joe Biden” for re-election when the Ukraine failure is completed? Answer: they can’t. This dumbshow of the old gaffer hiding at his beach house and avoiding direct engagement with reality is also drawing to a close. Instead of calling “a lid” on “JB’s” activities, some humid morning in the swamp his handlers will call in “a medical alert” instead, and that will be the last we see of that dreadful apparition.
It’s also looking more and more as though the Republican Party faces its own civil war, especially after Speaker Mike Johnson’s perplexing flipperooski on the Ukraine aid vote. You recall, just weeks ago he said no dice to such a deal without a stop to the invasion coming across our Mexican border. Then, the intel blob boys lured him into a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) where they showed him . . . something. . . ! Everyone’s dying to know what. A secret signed agreement making Ukraine our 51st State? Photographs of Mike engaged in unwholesome recreations with Gawd knows who or what? Or did they just have a little talk with him about how stuff is supposed to work? Whatever it was has made Mike Johnson untenable in his position. And he has explained nothing. He’s got to go.
At the other end of all that stands — or, rather, sits at a defense table — Donald Trump, the seemingly inevitable leader of a party seeking to cough him up like a hairball stuck in its craw. And yet, every week that passes, the various lawfare traps set up to snare him look more amateurish and gauche — while the Golden Golem of Greatness somehow manages to power through all that adversity. A big faction of the party he leads is in on that nefarious game. The wild card is the increasingly inflamed mood of the American people, in whose name the game is supposedly being played. With absolutely everyone lying to them about everything, it’s turned into some kind of bad faith olympics.

Interesting that Tucker just told Rogan that congressmen are terrified the intel agencies will plant kiddie porn on their devices. Makes you wonder what Mike was shown to make him do a 180.
Have you not heard Love is love whether its two men, two women, a man and a chicken three men and a baby….yep it’s a sick world.
What when you heard that term “love is love” you didn’t understand where it was going?
One look at Sam Brinton and we knew we’re not in Kansas anymore. Not since Calligula has the world see a regime like the Biden gang.
Sam, who’s life passion involves disciplining men who identify as dogs, would still hold office if not for his serial larcenous pecadillo of stealing luggage from airport carousels. Not just any luggage, but bags belonging to wealthy, fashionable women just his size.
Love is love, indeed.
Yes, no doubt. That’s why I have to laugh when I read loyal democrat comments on how well respected Biden is around the world. The world is wondering when we’re going to get rid of Joe Biden, with him draping a pride flag over the white house balcony and hiring someone like Brinton for a sensitive position.
Sure why not, he’s a gay icon; money flowing in from Disney, Hollywood, Wall Street, Cher, and the Elton John Foundation.
Parenthetically (inexplicably) Mr. Brinton is also listed as possessing several million dollars in assets.
I never knew being a space cadet could be such a prosperous undertaking.
“Joe Biden” moseyed into a gas station the other day and the few lost souls who were milling about deciding whether they wanted Doritos or plain chips didn’t even acknowledge him. Even the cashier didn’t bother asking him to sign her Eagles hat.
Had Trump stopped by there would have been throngs trying to get a selfie.
Same exact thing as 2020. Joe’s events (what few there were) were literally empty save some reporters and staff, where with Trump the faithful stood in the rain for miles trying to get in to an event.
2+2 isn’t making 4 anymore.
But Biden was able to get 15 million more votes than Hillary and Obama…the most popular President in history! And 10 million voters had to vote twice, they were so enthusiastic!!!
@Abbybwood
Only because Trump fanatics are idiots and don’t realize this prick is flip flopping on issues he use to be against but is now supporting said issues like a Democrat himself. No way in hell I’d be this guy fan after he didn’t even apologize for the death shot, and is now going around supporting two wars and admits to being okay with baby killings now.
*yawn*
Whatever it was, it’s plain to see that he does not put the country first.
None of them do, Tuco22. Tulsi Gabbard did a great write up of what happens when a newly elected “representative” enters Washington for the first time. It’s all about party and it’s all about party bosses. These idiots are told how to vote and told that if they don’t vote a certain way they will not be endorsed to run for re-election. They are also told that if they do vote how they are instructed by the PTB they will receive lavish financial benefits. Like AOC, enter a poor barista and leave Congress as a multi-millionaire .
Congress is worthless, useless, meaningless. The only answer here is the states. The states can convene a convention without the Congress and can amend the Constitution without the Congress. There needs to to be an amendment prohibiting a full time US Congress. Period. We need a bi-annual congress.
We also need a bigger Congress with representatives representing smaller districts. There is nothing that prevents Congress from being 2000 seats instead of 435.
Unfortunately, a Convention of States will not happen because the States themselves are addicted to the Federal money train.
It always amazes me that 215 or whatever the number is, Democrats, always vote the same. Never any debate. Never any argument. Never opposing opinions or views. They know they don’t represent their own asses. They are there to collect money and rape the taxpayer.
And we the people just put up with it.
And they always will. To quote someone who was cutting across my lawn one day awhile back, it’s just easier. Most of the lemmings don’t know what the issues are and they can’t read above a certain level, thus forever closing them off to the information they need to form an accurate opinion about their elected representatives.
That is why the votes should be secret ballots. Then the vote would be to one’s belief in what is right and cut the party line out of the picture. The lobbyists would never know if their money was working as they liked.
Saint,
Exactimundo….
We might see one person voting no, by prior agreement, to give them all deniability.
We wouldn’t know either. In the end, they would find a way to monitor their votes and we would be left in the dark.
Jarek,
Who would you rather be left in the dark…us, or their paymasters?
So nobody would know how they vote? Not very realistic, ya think?
Parties would cease to exist if it could be enforced.
Jarek,
Prior to 1970, or thereabouts, the vote WAS secret.
Extraordinary. I never knew. Just as I once believed that Fascism just meant “bad”.
I was much older then, I’m younger than that now.
“I was much older then, I’m younger than that now.”
Jarek,
I wish I didn’t know now what I didn’t know then….
…The Byrds and Bob Seger…and you say you hate music….
I’ll offer up an alternative explanation for Mike Johnson’s betrayal.
Nuland and Zelensky thought it would be a good idea to have some Tajiks head into Russia for a terrorist attack on shoppers right before the Russian election. Except Nuland couldn’t keep her big mouth shut, so the operation was delayed until after the election. Then the idiot Tajiks were captured.
Within a couple weeks, out of the blue, a 1 in a million maritime “accident” occurs that takes down a bridge in Baltimore. I’m pretty sure that was Russia’s revenge, using a cyber attack on the ship’s controls.
So, we attacked them, they now attack the US. Showing proof of that to the religious idiot Johnson could account for his turn, but only under one condition. They also have a new plan to attack Russia. Money for Ukraine is just a way to keep that country afloat for a short time until their plan is executed.
Given the stupidity of the Tajik attack, get ready for the next boneheaded attack on Russia. I’d keep an eye on the Crimean bridge.
Just don’t forget that Donald John Trump PROMISED us that he would “drain the swamp”. That would have logically started with the top 20 – 40 % of the intel agencies, the FBI, and the DOJ. Donald John Trump did NONE of that, instead retaining the WORST of the Deep State swamp and adding even more reptilian demons.
I see only two explanations – that Trump is compromised, whether by ideology or threat makes no difference, or that he is terminally, irretrievably brain dead. The only thing you can count on is that in the highly unlikely scenario that Trump survives the current Lawfare onslaught and overcomes the impenetrable leftist fortress of election fraud, it won’t make any difference.
Hear, hear!
@Buckeyeman
Trump is more concerned about sucking up to Israel and doing whatever they want. He doesn’t give a shit about this country, I honestly think he faked caring about America, at least Obama delivered on his promise “I’m going to fuck up and destroy America.” And he did it, even if he didn’t do as much damage while he was elected.
Yes, but just think what awaits Obama! And it isn’t virgins in paradise.
If ever anyone violated truth in advertising, your name is right up there with the worst of them. You suck down lies like those college kids in their alcohol consumption games.
You mean me, Uncle? Surely you jest! Don’t be mean to me just because you want to!
Sorry, Uncle, but what awaits Obama is hell forever and that’s not the result of alcohol consumption games. I’m sorry if you voted for him so you wouldn’t be racist, but as you found out later, you’re racist anyway.
@tuco22:
“…as you found out later, you’re racist anyway.”
Made me laugh! 🙂
Truth seeker is of whom I’m speaking.
@TruthSeeker1986
Keeping the Israeli Lobby happy is priority 1, 2, and 3 for Trump.
And also for Biden and RFK Jr.
The Israeli Lobby owns the Presidential candidates, and the KEY Congressmen/women and Senators. And they are all afraid of going from recipients of Israeli Lobby money and largesse to being targeted by the Israeli Lobby.
Also, Obama did a lot of damage to the US. He gets a pass because he is “black”. (And his mother was white, his father was an African from Africa, but anyway).
I’m really impressed with you, Soc-Det. You must have sources I can’t reach. You know the Israeli lobby owns the presidential candidates and key congressional people. You must be incredibly smart.
A Bill was introduced on 2/29/24, H.R. 7484, the “Dual Citizen Disclosure Act”. Requiring members of Congress to disclose dual citizenship status.
If passed by both houses and becoming law, then we’ll see what’s what. Fat chance it’ll pass though, just sayin’…
@beantownbill
For one thing, I read books occasionally. “The Israeli Lobby”, by Professors Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer. It was a best seller.
Or one by former Congressman Paul Findlay, IL-Rep, from the EIGHTIES, called “They Dare to Speak Out”.
Or “The Deep State” by Mike Logren. He was senior staffer for a Republican Senator and Congressman. His book is about how the sausage factory (the Congress works), and why it is virtually impossible to change things, even on issues where the public by a strong majority, holds views different than the “blob”.
Chances are, they know more than most of us commenters.
Dual *Citizenship* Disclosure Act
I understand some of our polticos are former Israeli Defense Force members–but never “served” in the US military.
Rahm Emmanuel of the Obama Administration.
Rep Brian Mast, FL-Rep. Mast even wore his IDF uniform to Congress.
FACT CHECK: Apparently Emanuel was not in the Israeli military. He was a civilian volunteer and assisted the Israel Defense Forces during the 1991 Gulf War, helping to repair truck brakes in one of Israel’s northern bases.
Florida’s Rep Mast was in the US Army. According to Congressman Mast’s website, “…Brian subsequently received a degree from Harvard University and volunteered to serve alongside the Israel Defense Forces….”
I did see Mast on TV wearing an IDF uniform, and I had the impression Emanual was in the IDF.
My apologies for my inaccuracies.
@Uncle Abraham
Sure thing Abraham, at least Socrates gets it.
Additional information on Bill H.R. 7484, AKA the “Dual Citizenship Disclosure Act”: Failure to comply, if determined by a committee (of their peers) could possibly result in a fine of not more than $2,500 which is walking-around-money for our congressmen/women.
In other words, the Bill is much ado about nothing, and will not be complied with anyway. As others have mentioned, I wouldn’t mind seeing a Kinzhal hypersonic missile auguring in at 7200 mph while Congress is in full session. Solves that problem.
Focus your votes on local matters and local elections where your vote still matters.
I agree about Trump. I admire him as an alpha male but I also recognize that he didn’t do much to drain the swamp. He kept many of Obama’s minions in positions of power when they should have been fired and listened to them.
Trump is a business man, not a politician, however. I often wonder if he suffered from being politically naive rather than being compromised.
If he won a second term (impossible given the Democrat voting fraud machine) I think he’d be different this time. Not so politically naive anymore.
You mean no Pence? No Bolton? No Pompeo?
He’d better pick a damn good VP.
abbybwood – his closest “advisor” is the lady who controls his schedule and she is WEF sourced. If he’s consistent, his VP will be choosen by the WEF. It won’t be anybody qualified for the job.
We should start a pool.
“OK, who had Tulsi Gabbard for $100? Winner winner bugs for dinner!
@Cankerpuss
“He’ll be different”
Yes, like him supporting baby killings and war now and possibly faggotry too.
Right on, buckeyeman!
Judging by his vocabulary, I would estimate Trump’s IQ to be right around 100 which means he should be bright enough to know a swamp rat when he sees one – or a few hundred of them.
My theory is Trump is just role-playing like it’s a reality TV show. He is playing the victim while perpetuating his victimhood.
Case in point: Whine, whimper and complain about the warrantless FISA court-approved spying on him and his campaign in 2017. Then APPROVE the continuation of warrantless spying in 2018. Count on the fact that Americans are too stupid to notice he just approved the very thing he was whimpering about.
Continue with appointing people who undermine you and call you stupid. Do we need a list? Then replace them with people who do the same. Swamp rats one and all.
Whine and whimper about the “unfair witch-hunt” conducted against you by the FBI chief YOU APPOINTED.
Twist arms to get a democrat voting McCarthy named speaker of the house and when he gets kicked out by YOUR party for voting democrat, lobby to replace him with the compromised wimp who just got 60 odd billion dollars approved for Ukraine’s war that’s already been lost. As our host pointed out, that money is just bonuses for the corrupt Ukrainians who did the bidding of their US overlords.
But never mind all that – wave the flag and get crowds to chant MAGA! Convince them that even though you don’t know your ass from a hole in the ground and can’t recognize a swamp rat when it’s staring at you from your mirror, you are really sincere this time. Together we can make America great again! This time I really mean it. I was only kidding last time but this time will be different! I’m gonna build that wall, lock her up, stop printing money like it’s toilet paper and change things in this beautiful, beautiful country…I tell you, it’s so beautiful…really beautiful and it’s a disgrace I tell you, truly a disgrace what these horrible horrible crooked crooked people…..(barfing noises from the Jones household)
100 IQ for a man that has built a billion dollar empire? You must be around 80 to come to that conclusion.
Jack, how many times has this “billionaire” declared bankruptcy after his dad staked him to his first million?
Trump is a billionaire like I am an astronaut.
Your estimate of my IQ is off by more than 100%.
Congress just approved another extension of the unconstitutional FISA Act again last Saturday.
Saturday was Hitler’s birthday, in case anyone was wondering why Congress was meeting on a day they usually take off.
What better way to celebrate their lord and savior’s birthday than to shovel money to the Banderists, steal Russian assets, and pass another repressive law that gives power to the Deep State that the Gestapo could only dream of?
And then they waved blue and yellow flags, and chanted “Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine”.
The only thing missing was the swastikas, but maybe they were hiding those tattoos under their clothing.
When he was running in 2016, I saw Trump’s IQ compared favorably to the Rhodes scholar, Bill Clinton. I admit, I’ve never seen much evidence of that. but I’m convinced he’s as clever as a scabby old sewer rat. (A different sort of intelligence, perhaps.) I suspect he has ADHD, and I’m convinced he’s a narcissist. There’s nothing unusual about that–power attracts such people and they’re over-represented in the upper echelons of government and business, not to mention show business. Those are the smart ones. They have the necessary ruthlessness for the job. I’m not counting him out yet.
The guy who burned himself to death the other day in NY was holding a sign: “Trump and Biden are together! It’s a fascist coup!”
@C.O. Jones
lol I’ve never seen someone roast Trump like that before, not even the leftist that hate him are that good at attacking his lying ass like you just did.
@TruthSeeker – when Obama-nation was first running for president, a friend of mine talked me into going to hear him speak in Pittsburgh. I think I was the only one in the crowd who heard him drone “Look….uh…..the….uh….American people…uh… are….uh…ready for change.” I remember thinking this guy is an absolutely abysmal public speaker. The crowd hung on his every syllable, enthralled by his monotone and oblivious to the fact that the teleprompter must have crapped out. I was looking around at the individuals in the crowd who stood there transfixed and came to the conclusion that Obama must have some sort of secret hypnosis-beams shooting out of his eyes that everyone except me can see.
I mention this because Trump has a similar effect on crowds. He can stand there and whine about the persecution that he has volunteered for and gone out of his way to accommodate and he actually elicits sympathy from the crowd. People are enraged that he is hauled up on charges related to hush-money he paid to a hooker. Their hearts and their campaign donations go out to him. I’m shaking my head, incredulous. I’m seriously asking myself if I am the only one who sees what I see.
I voted for Trump twice – lesser of evils and all. I’m not suffering from TDS, I’m just calling it like I see it. He’s better than Biden just like he was better than Hillary but so is my dog. I will vote for my dog before I vote for this reality show actor again.
Wrong. You are brain dead. You think going in and changing the entire compromised governmental appointments and employees is easy, even doable. First-go is a learning experience. Yes, Trump failed, so to speak, but you sitting there judging him from your throne are part of the problem, not the solution.
I don’t know, Uncle Abraham, nobody else seemed to have a problem doing it.
Be specific – name “it” and maybe point to an example if it would help.
Exactly. Trump didn’t realize the depth of the deep state, and got gobsmacked. Fortunately, the armchair geniuses on here that don’t understand that are quick to condemn him for his failure.
I don’t think he’ll make that mistake again.
If he didn’t realize the depth of the thing he promised to eradicate – whose fault is that?
Maybe winning the election was unanticipated.
Political naivete. Trump is a business man, not a politician. He entered a bitter, nasty political hot zones with the know how of a business man. Too trusting, I suppose.
He won’t be the way if he gets, miraculously, a second term.
Correct. Hubris run rampant here.
I wonder if Trump’s plane is a Boeing or Airbus?
They have the perfect set-up now after the Boeing whistleblower sat in front of a Senate Commerce Committee and said, “All Boeings should be grounded now, today.”
Right. And all the experimental jabs should have been stopped before one person was injected.
It seems things have spiraled out of control pretty damn fast, doesn’t it?
And next month most countries (including ours) will become signatories to the new WHO Pandemic Treaty which will give Tedros the right to MANDATE that ALL people take a new jab. Neither Congress nor the media are even talking about this. Dr. Drew is the only one who has done a show on this treaty.
We are sleep-walking into Hell.
@Geowhizz – maybe????
One of us might be brain dead, Uncle Abraham, but it isn’t me. At the very best, you are gullible but don’t feel alone.
What was to stop Trump from using his famous line – “You’re fired!” on the intel agencies, FBI and DOJ that buckeyeman mentioned?
What was to stop Trump, when he held office, from taking his case to the American people in a fireside chat? Lay out the facts, present visual evidence of corruption, malfeasance, collusion, treason and say “Today I am taking steps to correct this situation by firing AND PROSECUTING the following individuals…”
Hint: What stopped him was the same thing that stopped him from releasing the JFK files and the 911 files as he promised and then failed to do.
I have no throne other than the porcelain convenience down the hall. The problem here is that YOU, Uncle Abraham cannot recognize a self-appointed punching bag sitting at a defense table in a courtroom. This buffoon shows up for court to answer charges that have no legal basis because they are long past the statutes of limitation. Get the media out to the airport to get footage of his plane landing, the limo rolling up to the courthouse, the mugshot. Put up a protracted legal battle for nonsense offenses relating to the value of your properties. Get dragged thru the mud for paying hush money to a homely prostitute you boinked in 2006 while the wife you married in 2005 sat at home. Be the biggest distraction you can possibly be while your country goes to hell.
The problem, Uncle Abraham is you and people like you.
What makes you think for an instant that anything would change if Trump were to hold office again? He would be impeached for parking tickets every 15 minutes and hire incompetent lawyers to represent him.
I’m not buying it again – you go ahead.
C.O. Jones, Trump fired Comey and replaced him with Wray, a Republican. Because he had experience with the FBI bureaucracy no doubt. That’s the problem. You have to replace one bureaucrat with another and hope for the best. Maybe you think he should have picked you for the job?
No, crudgemudgeon, I would never take the job.
poli = many
tics = bloodsuckers
I have no patience for politics.
I do agree with you, though – replacing a corrupt bureaucrat with another corrupt bureaucrat is the problem. One would think Trump might realize that but one would be incorrect.
He should have named that kung-ho sheriff from Milwaukee as FBI head – what was his name? David Clarke. That would be my choice.
gung-ho, not kung-ho. Spell check is just terrible….
Comey was a Republican too -a registered one until 2016….what happened in 2016? Oh, right….the GOP lost its collective mind.
‘This buffoon shows up for court to answer charges that have no legal basis because they are long past the statutes of limitation.’ – C.O.Jones
I am moved to correct you there. The crimes for which he is being prosecuted occurred over a period of more than a year, from October 2016 to late 2017. The Statute of Limitations on business fraud (which is what he’s charged with) in the State of NY is 6 years. He was indicted in June 2023, within the 6 years of the offense.
Wow, Uncle Abraham – I reckon you must be the most MAGA’d commenter around here (and that’s really saying something!).
Buckeyeman – Trump’s got most of this figured out. He’s had 4 years of intense study. Come January of 2025, he’d usher in his Project2025.org team to drive a 180-day plan to take back and reform our institutions. He’ll restart Schedule F which will give him executive powers over the administrative agencies (i.e. to fire at will). We’d better hope he’ll be ready to go this time. But the process to drain the swamp will take decades, if it happens at all.
Thank you for explaining and addressing the hubris and wrong-headed thinking.
Just the plan he’s got. I see you’ve got your word for the day; hubris. Not sure that fits here.
He’s gotta win first, ezinmn.
But, how can he? He’s a loser and has dragged the GOP down with him, in every election cycle since 2016 when he fluked the Presidency.
Anyway, I’m guessing you’re a “Big Steal” proponent? If the Dems could steal the 2020 election without leaving any detectable fingerprints, surely they’ll just do it again, right?
What Trump’s (actually, Stephen Miller’s & Steve Bannon’s) 2025 project promises is utter chaos and the end of the last vestiges of sanity. The Inmates of MAGA would be running the asylum. The MAGA crowd has no idea what they’re asking for or what they’ll actually get if it comes to pass. They think Trump is ‘their guy’ so they also delusionally believe that they’d be immune to his toxic agenda.
Even the big-money guys (like Musk) who support him ‘coz they want more tax cuts and to gut the social security system – they don’t realize that they will not be able to control him – he’ll fuck them over just as brutally. After all, he has Putin’s playbook on defenestration technique.
Speaking of Putinesque Talking POints, Jim has gone right down that rabbit hole today. More predictions of utter collapse. Yawn.
Majella never learns and repeats the same nonsense that gets it booted over and over.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Hello benr. What are you saying? I don’t understand.
Are you allergic to points of view that don’t coincide with your own?
I’m allergic to stupidity.
lol
‘We’d better hope he’ll be ready to go this time. But the process to drain the swamp will take decades, if it happens at all.’ – ezinmn
He sure wasn’t ready the first time…the 2017 transition was negligent to the point of criminal.
This Project 2025 would simply be the installation of his authoritarian tools and a giant ‘purge’ of anyone who’s ever said anything bad about him aloud. He’d ‘drain the swamp’ but fill it with his own set of grifting swamp dwellers.
If anything, the corruption of the state would become worse, with Trump doling out favors to his sycophantic minions, while he tries to indict every member of the Democratic Party for…whatever. He has nothing, and in any case, as he won’t win in November, this is all idle speculation.
Trump is still a 1990 Democrat…But we have to get Biden out, or we won’t even have a chance….Let’s force them to steal this election!
“…the impenetrable leftist fortress of election fraud…”
So, according to you, the PROOF of the 2020 Election being stolen is in the fact that you cannot offer any substantive evidence, BECAUSE the evil left is so dastardly and clever that they left no evidence.
Right.
How can you be SO RIGHT about Trump being a fuckwit and a fool yet still hawk his demonstrable lies so effortlessly? I guess you’re just used to saying it and no longer give it any rational thought — if you did, you might see your delusion and save yourself from the misery of rabbit holes.
Meanwhile back in Majella land this imbecile continues to spew the exact same venom right down to verbiage and pretends not to have been banned what a half dozen tomes now?
Come on you are not fooling anyone just a matter of time tick tock tick tock.
benr…you’ve clearly got a problem. Is the medication becoming ineffective? That can happen with antipsychotics. Best check back with your doctor. Maybe you could print off some of your posts here so he’ll see just how weird you’re acting lately.
@grace
Or you could go back through some of the last couple of years posts to understand why or how I figured out or think you are another poster who has been repeatedly banned from this forum.
FYI unlike your projection of being on mind altering drugs onto me I am not on any big pharma poison.
Some people believe that’s what happened to a Saratoga Springs blogger who pissed of some people in high places.
Note that a computer seized in October of the year before was used to make an arrest in 2014.
The excuse given by police was that “it took time to find” the child pornography.
“A controversial local blogger John Tighe, 67, was accused Wednesday by New York State Police of having child pornography on his computer, which was confiscated by state police in October.
Tighe, a Milton resident, was arraigned in Clifton Park Town Court on three counts of promoting a sexual performance by a child and three counts of possessing a sexual performance by a child, all felonies, according to state police.
The arrest stems from an investigation that led to a search warrant executed at Tighe’s residence Oct. 23, 2013, state police said. At the time, Tighe announced that his blog, Saratoga in Decline, was “closed till further notice,” after being served with a warrant prompted by NXIVM, a local group that many define as a cult.
Wednesday afternoon’s arrest, however, was not about NXIVM but about child pornography, police said. Saratoga County District Attorney James A. Murphy III Murphy said police found dozens of pornographic pictures and video of kindergarten-age children on the computer.”
saratogian.com/2014/02/26/saratoga-in-decline-blogger-tighe-arrested-on-child-porn-felonies/
OTOH those guys could just be trying to make it sound to Tucker as if their world is full of intrigue and derring-do.
He could have had photo evidence on his computer of the crimes of NXIVM, or they could have planted it.
My husband’s friend is married to a former prosecutor, now retired, who is trying to get a guy out of prison who he put there decades ago.
The guy was only 18 at the time, and has been a model prisoner since, but the establishment doesn’t want to let him go for some reason.
Maybe they think it would look bad if the prosecutor testified for him?
Anyway, one of the things they concocted to keep him there is child porn!!!
He’s in frigging prison, and they are trying to say that he somehow had access to child porn on the prison computers?
This is clearly bullshit. I already thought that the authorities did this to targeted victims, but that just solidified it. And my husband’s friend also agrees that anytime you hear “Child porn was found on his computer”, you can just take that with a giant grain of salt.
Remember that the same Deep State turns a blind eye to child trafficking from war zones and over the border, and refused to look into credible accounts of ritualistic child murder.
But have an ordinary citizen run up against them, and look at quick they are to “protect children.”
“…anytime you hear “Child porn was found on his computer”, you can just take that with a giant grain of salt.” ~ Paula D
He’s right Paula – soft assassination, to smear reputations, but not so soft when it involves prison time.
Nowadays, any mention of anything untoward sexually, should initially be considered a non-starter at least – a projection at worst.
She’s a she, but, yeah.
And the guy was already in prison, for murder. But no way I believe that he got ahold of child porn.
Thanks Paula. On a reread, this reminds me of a LSAT question – testing logic and critical reading skills – truth told, mine are fading.
I assumed, incorrectly, that your husband’s friend was male. Mea culpa. Actually, your husband’s friend’s sex and, dare I say it, their, spouse’s sex is indeterminate, as written.
I should at least get a point for assuming your husband’s friend, was male, and his wife (assumed female) was the prosecutor.
Both “friend” and “prosecutor” are gender neutral. In today’s day and age, one never knows.
Why am I clarifying (?) this? I have no idea either.
Lol, no problem.
But, since we’re nitpicking, I did say that “he” put the guy in prison decades ago.
They could be a same sex couple, though.
Exactly, Paula. I thought of our historic, unprecedented, first-ever, same sex, married Secretary of Transportation, Mayor Pete and his chest-feeding husband, Chasten.
You know, whatever people do, is their business, I just suggest we do away with all the forced adjectives, and just go with Secretary of Transportation. Is that too much to ask?
The worst is Karine Jean-Pierre, our fabulous WH spox. IIRC, she actually classified herself as “historic”. Yeah, so is my ass, but it’s white, male, heterosexual and Christian. So there.
Why am I continuing this thread? I have no idea either. I might be stuck on stupid today.
Maybe this is what convinced the mighty Mitt Romney to quit after just one term.
Tucker says anything that gets eyeballs. His credibility was never high and now it’s in the gutter.
says someone with ZERO credibility.
<0 FIFY benr
Yep terrible typist missed a “T” so what?
*less than zero* credibility
OK, I’ll bite. Name one thing In Tucker’s last interview that is characteristic of his having “credibility in the gutter” as you say. Just one thing…
He’s been an ardent truth teller, as far as I’m concerned. You can see his evolution in figuring out the truth.
He’s woken up millions.
You said plant, so that’s the same as cops planting drugs on a person before arresting them on false drug charges…What an asshole world we live in.
Yes, same exact thing there are tools called vault 7 that were revealed to allow federal agencies to hack into someone’s computer and leave digital evidence which can then be found using tools like Encase.
Last I heard was that something awful would happen the next week (that would have been a couple weeks ago) so we went on an extended uneventful cruise to Spain. So, please bring me up to date, what was the awful event and why have I not heard about it? Thanks in Advance.
Jim,
This is one of the best writings of yours for 2024!
Thank you!
We exercise our incredulity on a four year rotation, each team on the party competing for most trusted delegate[s] among word twisters.
America is reaching its revolutionary moment. Either decisively throw the bums out, into prison, or under the guillotine or prepare to live under a tyranny unequalled in human history
Most of the lemmings have voted to live under a tyranny unequalled in human history. Just ask them.
I realized that way back when better than 60% of the country thought Clinton sending Elian Gonzalez back to Cuba was a good thing.
Elian says he’s happy with it.
Of course, why wouldn’t he?
If he’s actually miserable due to working in the cane fields, I think it would show.
I thought I heard he was an elected official
You were opposed to sending a motherless child back to his daddy?
How heartless.
Hid daddy and his two grandmothers who raised him,
Apparently they thought he was better off in a closet with distant cousins in Florida.
It was a good thing.
No it hasn’t. Americans are too afraid to lose what they got. Things are going to get far worse before the average obese, tatted up, facial pierced, gender obsessing American realizes they have been bamboozled by the “American Dream.”
It’s unfortunate that such people have no future, and they’re totally unaware of it.

Kelly tells Tucker that Red States must unite and say no to more illegal immigrants, ignoring all Federal legislation to the contrary or local “judges” (traitors).
@Jarek
Will they? I mean don’t the red states love those illegals just as much as the democrats? They benefit from the cheap labor after all.
Indeed.
Dwarf, insane, $billion pelf-laundry Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass enjoyed an uninvited visitor breaking into her mansion this past weekend. She paused from ending homelessness to mentally wet her panties, then resumed her compassion after the hapless freak…OK, the other hapless freak…was apprehended. Unarmed. Pity.
The ever-hungry national crime syndicate hasn’t changed its oil in a very long time. The indomitable Democrat Socialist One State might be seeing some greasy smoke coming out its tail pipe.
The one thing I don’t understand about these fuckers, Uncle.AI, is do they really believe they are going to be immune to the suffering their actions are inevitably going to cause. Not all Americans, but many, are seeing red (I am one of them) because of what these bastards are doing, or not doing, back in Washington. The masses can take a lot of abuse but at some time the masses will fight back and it never ends well for the elite rulers. History is replete with the masses rising up to overthrow the elites but it only happens when things get bad enough that the masses can’t take anymore.
So they throw sports, porn, drugs and television at us to keep us docile. Not working anymore. The angst is growing. These elites will eventually pay and if they don’t, their children will. I don’t know how they think they will be immune.
After Hitler was done with his “brown shirts” he killed them all.
@Cankerpuss
I don’t know, maybe it will be different in the U.S. North Koreans still never tried to overthrow Kim, and he’s got people starving over there.
They’re more afraid of the labor camps than they are of starvation.
According to defectors, North Korean labor camps make those of the Nazis look like a walk in the park.
That’s crazy….
Good point. Can’t argue with that one.
Tuco, the Commies always ran more brutal camps than the Nazis. In the Soviet Union they had a long standing Dept — Department X — whose sole purpose was to find out how little Gulag prisoners could be fed, but still get the maximum amount of labor out of them.
Yes, I remember reading about that in Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago. How everything was calculated in grams and calories, about the Stakhanovites.
Yes, Stalin said we’ll just give them a taste. That prolongs the dying process. Like what they are doing in Gaza now.
Jarek, what do you care about Gaza?
What do you care about Israel?
@jarek
As Israel goes so goes the west.
The Palestinian war on Israel is not about just Israel dunce.
Oh, why? Why should Israel lead the West? By what right or reason?
Lead no sunshine, not lead Israel is the canary in the coal mine when dealing with the Islamic world.
The old world had many wars and hatreds and none burned hotter then East verses west the muslims don’t forget they still have that hatred.
Do you know how many think Christians are cannibals?
Do you not pay attention to anything but your fevered hate of anything but white skin?
Tell me something brainiac do you feel like Bosnian care about the White race?
Muslims consider Jesus a great prophet. Jews consider him utterly evil.
The Muslims consider us to be human and potential converts. The Jews do not.
You don’t know and don’t want to know. Thus you are insane.
Yes, Cankerpuss, they really believe they’re going to be immune to the suffering their actions are going to cause. They didn’t seek higher office for the good of the country. They sought it for the riches it brings. So they’ll do whatever they have to, give allegiance to whoever they have to, to keep those riches. No matter who it hurts or destroys. After all, this is all they believe in. They don’t believe in a God or hell or heaven, only what’s on earth here and now. So they’ll do anything to protect it. The only problem is most of them will never get that promised seat at the table.
We never did find out how that hammer dancer got past all of Nancy Pelosi’s home security.
And we never will.
The incident has pretty much all gone down the memory hole at this point.
It’s been overshadowed by the many distractions which have come along since the event.
Frankly speaking, I really don’t want to know.
The hammer was being used for other activities.
$billion pelf-laundry – Uncle.AI
==========
What is a pelf-laundry?
Laundered money I assume.
I should have googled first. Google says:
noun ARCHAIC
money, especially when gained in a dishonest or dishonorable way.
“damnation dog thee and thy wretched pelf!”
“ Then, the intel blob boys lured him into a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) where they showed him . . . something. . . ! ”
Dirty little people pushing dirty little secrets and lies to bend a dirty little man. It’s all so pathetic.
Keep voting for those elected representatives!
Well Johnson doesn’t have much of a face. Just a good boy who likes to A’s on his report card and will do what’s necessary to get them.
He had a come to Jesus moment when he realized that they were his teachers now, not the American people. I doubt it took very much.
When I have a choice, I prefer to believe that everyone isn’t really so keen to go along with this. I hesitate to judge in this instance, because I don’t know what people are threatened with. Most of us have at least some one person whom they want to protect from harm. “Accidents” are easily arranged, and I suspect they often get people to comply by threatening to harm their loved ones. Once you’re in it, I don’t suppose there’s a way out. Of course there are those who are eager to get into the club and have their share, but I wouldn’t assume that’s the case with everyone.
As the loathesome Chuck Schumer said, “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.”
I wonder if threats are made as well, but you don’t often hear of them. Maybe they patted Johnson on the head a few times, told him he reminded them of Winston Churchill, and he obeyed their orders.
Rowdy – I would tell Chuck Schumer, I have one way from Sunday of throat-punching him and watching him struggle for his last breath, but I’m not that kind of guy.
An interesting place to begin might be with who provided identical blue and yellow flags for a “spontaneous” eruption of virtue signalling.
Sure thing, where are the American flags? Oh that’s right, they are racist, and been promptly replaced by flags of other nations, not to mention that rainbow spectacle that is the “all-inclusive” gay flag.
Waving foreign flags on the floor of Congress should be an impeachable offense!
The absolute best thing that could happen is if they were all nuked while in session. Do you think anyone would notice?
The immediate improvement would be unmistakeable.
They don’t do shit for America.
There’s no doubt a store somewhere or a small shop that sells such things, flags for all occasions. No doubt they have Chinese communist flags, too.
People would notice, Tucco. They’d celebrate. Congress. An absolute pathetic joke of an institution. Most people know it. If I clicked on JHKs blog and read that the capitol in DC had been nuked I’d sit back in my chair and say “Thank God.”
These people think they are the elites, the best, the powerful. If only the truly knew how hated and derided they are. Maybe they do and they just don’t care.
“Behold, I sit, and there is none beside me.”
‘Maybe they do and they just don’t care.’
sums it up
Yes but who bought the flags?
I found out who handed them out- a commie from Colorado. Representative Diane DeGette.
@ tuco22:
They probably ordered the flags on Amazon.
Another interesting place: might all of this sudden attention being paid to the “infrastructure” be to more easily facilitate the movement of Chinese troops and equipment?
Remember the Kente cloth debacle?
Wait no, can you remind us about this Kente cloth controversy?
I remember in 4th Grade we had a class project from our world cultures class to make a mini Kente cloth. I weaved mine out without any problem. There was another student in class that didn’t feel like doing it. He paid me like $25 upfront to get the job done. I took it on and proceeded to work on our family drive down to The Biltmore in Asheville (this was over our school’s Easter break). I just wanted some extra spending money for the trip. My mom was pissed that I would be willing to do another classmate’s work for money. When we returned home she made me apologize and return the money. My classmate had to hustle to get the assignment done, and I’m not sure if he passed. I still see this as a lost opportunity from my past.
They just carry those things on their person. Don’t you?

Same thing after the entire city of Boston was locked down, supposedly because an armed teenager was on the loose.
Seriously? Like there aren’t armed teenagers roaming the streets of Boston every day?
They locked the population up, shut down transportation, kicked down doors, and conducted warrantless searches.
And they when they lifted the lockdown, they handed out little US flags to the released prisoners….er, citizens, and had them line the streets and cheer.
Who gave them the flags?
A 9 year old boy was killed that day. His name was Martin Richard.
He was waiting for his mother to cross the finish line.
And that justifies locking down the entire city?
There are always armed teenagers in every city. I guess that means that our overlords are justified in locking us down any time they want to.
They’re trying to normalize it, Paula. Gauging the responses.
The slogan was, Boston strong! (!)
Just wait for the Ukraine rebuild….looking for more loot will put PBS to shame….or even better than ShamWow…..but wait…there’s more…..
Yeah, no shit. The lemmings will cheer that, too.
@sadlycdn. Don’t you think the Ukraine rebuild will be funded by Russia?
Back at the beginning of the SMO it seemed the Russian Federation was trying to do minimal damage to keep the rebuild bill low.
No, but the US rebuild might be…
Have you seen Mariupol now? They rebuilt it nicely.
But yeah, the damage has been minimized by limiting the fighting to very few cities and villages. Sucks to be the people unfortunate enough to live in those cities, but face it, they have been under occupation by the Kiev regime for a decade already.
They are mostly happy to be liberated by the DPR and LPR forces, and the Russian military.
Summer is coming and antifa in Maga hats will require the attention of congress. One more crisis to strip away the Constitution
What constitution? They have all become unprofitable. All they do is pass laws that either take something away from us or add yet another burden onto us.
Con-gress critters waving flags. Ukrainian flags,
Keep voting for those elected representatives!
All lies and jest.
Until recently I thought it was, all lies in jest. That works too.
And they still haven’t declared antifa and blm terrorist organizations.
@Tuco22
Only because they created them.
Amen!
Can we turn the creature against the creator?
Constitution? Pfft! The Constitution does nothing more than set operational procedures for the Congress. Every law they are passing now is not set or bound by Constitutional parameters. Hell, Congress was violating the Constitution in the Washington Administration 230 years ago.
What does the Constitution say about foreign aid?
Nothing.
And how would our war against King George have gone if the French had said “pas de putain d’aider l’Amérique”
We would have won our freedom eventually. You can’t keep a righteous people down, especially if thousands of miles away.
Anyway, Washington told us to mind our own business.
Exactly Janos, no entanglements.
And here we are with zip for choice, sadly shaking our heads. Tucker just verified what many of us suspected from the get-go. I need a t-shirt that simply states “I withdraw my consent” . The people that matter will get it.
Even if Mike J hasn’t engaged in any hanky panky worthy of exposure the intelligence agencies can easily create it. Hence this is why Whitney Webb titled her book, one Nation an under Blackmail. Blackmail in the digital age is however much easier to construct and the intelligence agencies probably have fairly robust ways to cover their tracks. The end result is that we no longer have any semblance of a republic. We started our serious spiral toward neo-feudalism with the creation of the Federal Reserve, and then the real acceleration took off in the 1930s ( I don’t recall the date, but 2SG, had a recent post detailing this). 2SG ( second smartest guy substack ).
No, we don’t have a republic, anymore. We have what I call a quasi-Marxist oligarchy. With a sufficiently dumbed down population that’s just fine with that.
@Tuco22
It’s because no one is suffering hard enough from it. I think if it was really as bad as people make this Marxist shit out to be no one would be fine with it. Like I said, the sufferage isn’t severe enough, it’s only severe for those who already lost everything, living on the street, but lets say if it were 90% of our population who was living like this.
What we are seeing is not unique to history. It’s been done over and over and over again. The powerful and the wealthy, due to their obsessive greed, continue to pillage the weak and the poor until the weak and the poor no longer have anything to lose. When that happens they will rise up and kill the offenders and the cycle will start over.
If only humanity had a way to have generational memory. We forget our past and then, thanks to our greed and lust for material wealth and power, have to re-learn the lessons our ancestors tried to teach us.
I’m sick of it and I am glad I am not immortal.
@Cankerpuss
Who is going to actually TRY to kill any of them though? The Right, the Left, or a mixture of both? I don’t see the Leftist rising up against them at all. And the right is sort of being stamped out by the illegal invaders who didn’t even try to overthrow the bitches in charge of their own countries that got wrecked. I mean how many people in Venezuela went after the dickheads that destroyed that country? Nobody, instead they are running their asses over here and repeating the same process.
I think France is a good example. When things get to that point it won’t be the leftists or the rightists, it will be starving masses.
You make good points about Venezuela. I suppose once the USA is gone and the freebies are gone then these people wouldn’t have any reasons to come here. Who knows.
I struggle to understand the world anymore.
Maybe they need someone to show them how to ENFORCE the law [ so they can return to their homeland and fix it ] . Treason has consequences.
TUCO: Your comment is missing one word: “yet”. The only thing that POSSIBLY makes Americans different than the Brits and N Koreans is the Second Amendment which may turn out to be a whimper when the now and future biological war vs the citizenry is over.

You meant suffering.
Suffrage is the right to vote in public elections.
And then there is the spelling issue.
Perhaps I am expecting too much from a 37 year old.
@Q. Shtik
Nice to see you attacking my spelling again, and how old are you, 50? 60? 70? 90? Makes you feel like a bigger person attacking someone’s ability to spell or making mistakes? So I made a mistake in a word, you saw it and decided to attack it to make yourself feel good.
Go ahead and clap your hands. Making fun of someone’s spelling is one of the most dumbest done to the death try hard Western made attempts at being insulting it’s not even funny anymore. I remember a teacher made fun of me because i couldn’t do math when I was in the 5th grade…Guess how I dealt with him? I punched his ass. I did community service for it, but I still punched him.
Don’t we have more important things to think about?
Seriously. Stop correcting people’s spelling. It’s really strange that you feel the need to do that.
Guess how I dealt with him? I punched his ass. – TruthSeeker

A punch to the face or gut would probably have been more effective.

On the plus side, you, unlike benr, seem to know where one sentence ends and the next sentence begins.

Marxist? That’s just a rubric and/or a tool. We’re a Plutocratic Oligarchy. Rule by the wealthy.
When I first read Jim’s The Long Emergency in 2005, I never would have imagined the bizarre perturbations that would result from Peak Oil, the main culprit behind civilization collapse according to the theory. After all, what does the gender “crisis” for example have to do with resource depletion and limits to economic (and financial) expansion? yet the two are related and expect that America will only “get its mind right: by rebuilding from the ashes. So, the destruction MUST come. Best wishes to all.
There is no other way. The system is too corrupted to repair at this point. The people are too far gone, too divided, too stupid.
Always keep the last round in the chamber for yours truly. Endure up to the point that you can’t endure anymore and then take a peaceful trip into eternity with a quick pull of the finger. That’s my plan. I’ll fight as long as it is worth fighting and then I am making a quick exit out of this madness.
If you can, booby trap your house so it blows up when they enter it.
Yes, they are. Even now, they’re bending over for another four years of Biden’s big white dick up their asses.
Abused people come to a point where they don’t realize they are being abused anymore. In fact, they get to the point where they are literally, through their actions, demanding more of the same abuse.
LOL!!!!!!!! It’s Big? There’s something I didn’t know. hahahahahaha
CP,
On 7 February Associated Press journalist Peter Arnett flew into B?n Tre to report on the fighting there. In a report he filed he quoted an unnamed US Major as saying “It became necessary to destroy the town to save it.” Arnett’s quote rapidly disseminated throughout the American media and, according to William H.
Submitted without comment.
The bottom line, which will surely mystify future historians – if any, is that our rulers are literally too stupid to know that they are stupid. With complete capture of the machinery of our society they continue to be able to reward each other’s incompetence and failures with prestigious positions of wealth and power, from which they can engineer their next fuck-up.
This perverse dynamic is complemented by a citizenry that is too misinformed to know that it is misinformed. Far worse than if they were completely uninterested in what is going on and pay it no heed, they stay connected with the Official Narrative 24/7, and cannot be persuaded of its falsity by any countervailing evidence or argumentation.
Many who watched the new film Civil War last week felt betrayed that it didn’t take a whack at the Gordian Knot of our nation’s current political argument. If Garland had done the best imaginable job of portraying “good guys and bad guys” and taking either side, the other half of the audience would have hated the movie. If he had done the worst job imaginable of taking sides, his half of the audience would still have loved it. Either way, the exercise in pandering would have been tawdry and pointless.
Instead, Garland did a brilliant job of not permitting Civil War to become a Blue/Red debate, which would settle nothing. This film is for those who are capable of understanding that this country has been taken from the people by both parties, that it is on a trajectory of coming apart, and that before it can become something new it is likely to be a hell of a mess.
Make your stand right where you are, there’s no where else to go.
I believe we still have a chance to right the ship, but in no way will this happen under “Joe Biden”. In spite of the constant attacks on Trump after the 2016 election, and the mind fuck it gave the liberals, our country, and our world, was doing fairly well. Covid-19 changed all that.
President Trump has been talking about giving Ukraine money in the form of a loan since February.
Linsey Graham was over there in March pretending the thing holding up the aid was concern over our own border.
President Trump has repeated the “loan” idea, once even with Speaker Johnson at his side.
Johnson did what President Trump wanted.
Nobody wants to talk about that.
It may be as simple as that. He may prove himself to be a useful man again – Trump that is. Israeli Jews prefer him to Biden. And there is much of Israel in the United States, namely the Neo-Cons.
So who knows? He may get a “third term” after all.
Of course he will, Americans love Underdog.
And they need someone to fight the Islams on behalf of you-know-who.
The loan idea is just a way to sneak through another tranche. When the Ukraine returns to Russia, the loan will not be paid back.
Loan? How much does Trump think Ukraine is worth?
If he pushes a loan to Ukraine, and Russia tells the investors to pound sand, will the NY state’s attorney prosecute Trump for overestimating the worth of Ukraine?
yes
When it comes time to pay back the loan and there’s no money to do it, they would simply demand to be repaid in Ukrainian farmland. Then it could be purchased by Blackrock and Monsanto–if there’s some good farmland they haven’t already purchased from Zelensky.
Jerry Nadler tells us that we need those 10 million newcomers to pick our fruits and vegetables. Wash our dishes at restaurants. I didn’t know we had all that fruit rotting in the fields. Dishes piled to the ceilings in all our restaurants?
Does Nadler look as if he’s ever eaten a piece of fruit in his life?
Nadler: See-food diet example
@Beryl- it does look like he cleans his plate at mealtime.
The guy looks like a bobblehead.
O&T: You mean Jerry WADDLER?
Yeah we didn’t have enough illegals from Mexico and Central America. We needed the newcomers, refugees from Venezuelan jails.
The Speaker is making some bad headlines. Check TheGatewayPundit.com for info on the speaker’s stepson, and some porn issues…Jim is right!!!
Porn issues?
Like what?
Kiddie porn?
Nugget porn?
Snuff porn?
Barnyard type porn?
I know there are all sorts of weird kinks but those are the only ones I know of that would get someone in hot water and possibly be open to extortion and blackmail.
Nugget porn Alex Jones talked about at length and has some sort of following in Mexico according to him.
Had a big exec at a company I once did some contract work at that had over 100k in porn charges on his corporate credit card.
He was caught because some lady logged onto the computer and clicked on something called horsegag and was rewarded with something I doubt she ever wanted to see, or thought was even possible.
The guy was fired on the spot and the computer was wiped.
It is amazing just how out of control some people are with porn, gambling, alcohol, drugs, sex, leftwing cases.
Porn profits reach the billions. Not just poor people clicking and jerking. Many religious and government leaders are addicted to the debauchery of our days.

“After that, America and the rest of Western Civ can get on with the collapse of their financial system and very likely a period of profound political and economic chaos in which governments fall, nations change boundaries and shapes, and their populations suffer dramatically from an imploded standard of living”
I say that we should take the initiative and bring this about in a well-reasoned fashion, rather than ad hoc emergency. That is, proactive rather than reactive.
The status quo cannot be maintained, although history teaches us that the powers-that-be will seek to maintain it as long as possible, as they gain from it and serves their purposes.
Like-minded states need to band together now, establishing the foundations for a new state, carved out of the increasingly Disunited States of America.
Proactively plan for it, especially establishing a new financial and economic base, upon which a new states can be constructed rather than waiting to sift through the ashes.

John Michael Greer says “Collapse now, and avoid the rush”.
Is there a prop bet on when we shout “we won!”?
JFK, jr. could be the wildcard in all this. I do see the whole Kennedy family is against him, which is a plus. They made a Biden campaign ad — the lot of them –and in it they praise Biden’s dynamic leadership capabilities lol.
It’s just amazing how blind they willingly are.
That was an amazing announcement. So much for family solidarity.
As one of the richest families on the planet those Kennedys are just voting their pocket books…
“JFK, jr. could be the wildcard in all this”
BRH,
Yeah. Deuces, Jokers and One Eyed Jacks wild. I know you have been watching the news. We aint gonna vote our way out of this.
Sorry, but it aint in the cards….
Speaking of which, BRH,I found this tweet, and the comments are hilariously magnificent.
I can’t decide which is my favorite.
“Who TF is this guy and how many drinks did he have before this picture was taken”

LOL, the “entire” Kennedy family includes a lot of drunks. We already knew that.
That looks like a lot of people, although they padded the photo with children who clearly are not of voting age.
But those Kennedys are known to breed like rabbits. There seem to be a lot missing from those desperate to “save democracy” (from the proles.)
Do you mean RFK Jr. or have you gone full fledge Q?
And all it took was a couple of cases of Titos to get them onboard.
“For your reading pleasure Mondays and Fridays”
I for one got NO pleasure out of last Friday’s post. And I couldn’t even register my displeasure as no comment mechanism was provided.
What was I displeased about? The endless libel of women as a class (actual women, not wannabes, presumably). What a screed!
If there’s an issue with an individual, by all means, have at it. List their sins and crimes and publish to your heart’s content! But don’t go thinking you are protecting yourself by throwing a couple of undefined adjectives into the mix of your hatred directed at my sex. It’s a sure way to die lonely and alone. Not to mention the quality of living that precedes death.
Any man (or woman) who deals with a selection of women knows that no two are alike, in our education, opinions, or lives. The only thing we have in common is two X genes and a growing dislike of the men who dislike us as a class and broadcast that prejudice across the internet..
Party labels are just as useless a signifier. Many an “official” member of a party is there for non-political reasons, and has nothing in common with the party line. They just have less in common with the other party’s line and had to make a forced choice. The power of government is not in the hands of the women, any more than it is in the hands of men. Surely, you know that. OR have you forgotten?
“Any man (or woman) who deals with a selection of women knows that no two are alike, in our education, opinions, or lives. The only thing we have in common is two X genes and a growing dislike of the men who dislike us as a class and broadcast that prejudice across the internet..”
Demeter,
Any woman (or man) who deals with a selection of men knows that no two are alike, in our education, opinions or lives. The only thing we have in common is a Y gene and a growing dislike of the women who dislike us as a class….
Are you serious?
Dead serious.
Have you heard a woman proclaim that men should lose the right to vote?
Have you heard any woman proclaim anything should be denied men?
Hell, I haven’t even heard a woman object to men deciding they are women.
Of course, we are rather busy trying to hold the rest of the world together, starting with dishes and laundry.
Women running the world is a frequent feminist fantasy. This fueled the Hillary campaign. When she lost, many were upset. My own girlfriend, a retired school counselor, put on a feminist sweatshirt (I forget exactly what it said ) and went among the pussy hatted screeching harpies in Seattle. This group of women is the backbone of the Democrats. That’s all Jim was talking about. As for the comments, I don’t know.
These women are so focused on their status in this country they lose sight of the rest of the world looking on to our decline and salivating like Pavlov’s dog. The rest of the world is not as tolerant of women’s fickle foibles. In the rest of the world daddy rules with an iron fist. I’m not saying that’s a good thing. It is what it is.
I will say that by virtue of the fact that most women outlive their men, that the majority of the nation’s wealth rests in the hands of women. They outlive their dudes and the inherit his cash.
Money = power in todays world.
Oh! So that’s why the world used to run great but is now all fucked up. Women in power. Gotcha.
It’s not a fantasy. Women do run the world, as they outnumber the men, and do twice as much work for half the pay if they get paid at all… and that’s not counting childbirth.
I recall a woman who said: “I take care of the little things: the kids, paying the bills, repairs, shopping and housework. My husband does the important things like choosing the President.”
As for the Pussy Hat contingent, it’s as significant as the Pet Rock craze, though not as useful, although I suppose those hats could be repurposed as pot holders.
If you are down on Democrats, fine. Just remember there are no GOPpers to replace them (well, there are a couple of GOP women who are impressive, and I don’t mean Phyllis Schlafley. They get treated just as badly, if not worse, than the opposition),
There is only one Donald Trump, poor man, and he’s doing as much as he can with both hands tied behind his back and a veritable beehive of cheats, liars and fascists around him.
And as for iron-fisted daddies, see what happens when the women leave, or die, or are killed off by the men. See China after the one-child policy. See Muslim nations. Take notes.
Women are noticing this anti-woman movement on the Right.
“Making the uniting force on the Right “sexual resentment against white women” is going to tank this movement. Whatever you may think about the ballot box, having no immunity against the most heinous loser table vibes is sucking the air out of this place as we speak.”
twitter.com/kaschuta/status/1774870509542363271
We will be hearing much more “concern” for and condemnation of women over oral contraceptive use.
I can’t imagine anything more nobody else’s business than what kind of contraception/medication an individual chooses, but there is much yelling from the Right about this.
One would think we had larger issues to deal with. It reminds me of when Obama was running for his second term, and Republicans decided that was a good time to talk about rape.
The black movement is also blaming white women for their problems, going as far as to claim that lynching was the fault of white women.
Clearly, they have something horrible in mind for us. And equally clearly, we can’t expect that white men on the right or left, will stand up for us.
If you lie with dogs, you will awaken with fleas.
Hear, hear! The rule is MYOB. What a woman does is her business, not the Feds., not the States, and sure as hell not the neighbors “praying” for unborn children. That’s what autonomy means.
But you don’t get to make the rules.
“Thou shalt not kill.”
@Paula D
lol well Paula which race of women are spreading their legs for the negros? Who is going around filming and making stupid racist anti-white pornography with them? Which race of women get shitty obnoxious disturbing Queen of Spade tattoos on their bodies to make themselves look like the property of black men?
WHITE WOMEN. They do a lot of stupid stuff even promote hate against their own kind and then act surprise when black men turn on them. Next thing you know “Our own men won;t help us.” Why should they? Why should they help their own women when they are outright guilty of being racist toward them? They go out and cuck a few retarded liberal white males and think that makes it okay to dehumanize their entire race.
Many women deny men their homes, businesses, and children in divorce, an industry that caters to women in both the private and public sectors.
Many women talk equality, but secretly believe in superiority. In any case, they think they are better than most men, and will ignore all but the few they deem their equals. And when they get him, they will dream of men of better than him.
Women can have their own gyms and clubs. Men cannot. Women invade male spaces wearing almost nothing, armed with cameras and tripods to detect any male looking at them as they “work out”.
So you’re wrong, as wrong as wrong can be.
Well, let’s see. A husband abandoned his wife and children to work across the nation. The older child was severely disabled, but that didn’t matter. He spent like a drunken sailor, every dollar twice.
The wife insisted on following him to California, was treated worse than a maid, and the children got nothing from Daddy in terms of personal attention. The house back home was rented, as the housing market tanked when DEC tanked, and the tenants were pigs, so she moved back to rescue their only asset.
The husband was fine with this. The wife finally divorced him to secure child support. She kept the house because he kept his IRA savings which she had managed to squeeze out of his spending. He fought custody in 3 different states, finally losing entirely after he kidnapped the children during visitation. Without generous grandparents, the children would have been stuck in institutions: boarding school/custody for the hopelessly disabled.
The disabled child lived to within two weeks of her 40th birthday, and died in her sleep last year. Her mother cries every day.
Would things have turned out differently, had one of those children been a male? It doesn’t matter. It is what it is.
What kind of gibberish are you speaking? Men cannot have their own gyms and clubs? Naked women pursue you with cameras?
Demeter, Jarek qualified that with ‘many’ (women). So I guess that means 10 women in 100? 20? 30?
‘u^
A little more seriously, fissuring the sexes and then fighting across the fissures seems like the right hand fighting the left.
Seems like a losing game.
JHK should understand that people are going to interpret what he wrote last article in ways that he may not have intended… or in ways he did, even if he didn’t necessarily intend it. Haha.
I’ll also add– and this is more for Jarek and company with a similar bent– that ‘many’ men and women don’t give a triple axle flying fuck about what ‘other’ men and women are griping about WRT each other because they know better and have some semblance of ethics and a greater capacity to deal effectively with relationships.
As for those you speak of maybe they’re more like the politicians and company also unflatteringly spoken of hereon.
Demi:
Women bring 80% of the divorces in America.
Women get to have their own gyms. Men do not. You’re not aware of this? Once you find out it is true, will you think it is good or bad?
@Jarek, yours may be a bit of a projection insofar as your ‘problem women’ go.
IOW perhaps, the ‘other’ women who dodge your broad brushes and who are more relationship-effective can’t be bothered with some men who aren’t, or who might become, problems down the road, such as expecting their women to be ‘men’– expecting an inordinately-level playing-field that ignores ‘sociopsychosexual’, etc., differences.
‘To each their own.’
“Women bring 80% of the divorces in America.” ~ Jarek
So what, even if true.
Maybe some of them are divorcing the kind of guys that, for example, think initiating divorces should be precisely 50% for each sex.
Statistics can be used for all kinds of social, etc., manipulation.
@ Demeter:
You’re new here. Jarek lives in a fantasy world.
I suppose now the gym is a “male space” and women at the gym are wearing…you know..”athletic garments,” equipped with body cams while they work out–or, rather, “work out.”
The fact is, Jarek has almost certainly never been to a gym. He is a jobless incel who rarely leaves the house–and then only under the close supervision of his relatives, who would prefer not to be seen with him in public, because he can’t go the the grocery store without making a scene. He has no visible means of support, so I’ve always figured he was on disability–of the psych kind (a “crazy check”).
Pretty much all of his thoughts and opinions are the products of an idle and disordered imagination.
@ Jarek:
It is undoubtedly true that women initiate the vast majority of divorces. This is because, in both civil and criminal complaints and charges, it is invariably the injured party who brings said complaints and charges.
I think it is safe to say, for example, that landlords initiate 100% of eviction actions. Not too many tenants, after tearing up the property and failing to pay the rent for a few months, think to themselves, “I deserve to be evicted. I think I’ll go down to the courthouse and file an eviction action against myself.”
Similarly, guys who knock over convenience stores do not generally file criminal charges against themselves. Nor do people who have welched on a contract decide to file charges against themselves. People who perjure themselves in court do no bring perjury suits against themselves, either.
What the high rate of women initiating divorce proceedings indicates is that, in the vast majority of cases, they are the injured party.
@ Demeter:
Another thing you have to realize about the men posting here is that many of their comments are more than a little redolent of a domination fetish.
You’ve got Cankerpuss insisting that it is a woman’s role to be the enforcer of sexual morality, and that men would behave, if only the women would make them behave.
There is also a lot of trading of tales of cruel women humiliating and mistreating them. You notice that none of these guys have experienced this themselves–or even know of such a case within their social circle in real life. This stuff is all pure fantasy, which appears to be gleaned from incel websites, where a bunch of guys trade (made up) stories of abuse and humiliation at the hands of women. Since they’re incels, it is a pretty safe bet that they rarely or never actually interact with women, or even leave the house.
Now, ask yourself, what kind of a guy likes to wallow in fantasies of being abused and humiliated by women? Duh. A guy with a domination fetish. They get off on this. Since they get so much enjoyment out of these fantasies, it seems like they would enlist the services of a dominatrix. Such services are probably expensive. This is probably because they are time-consuming and require expensive costumes and paraphernalia. Plus it’s not easy to satisfy these guys’ insatiable need to be humiliated. Much imagination and innovation are required.
Interestingly, while domination is considered a sexual fetish, one of its most essential elements is that there is no sex involved. The male “slave” is not allowed to so much as touch his “dom.” Thus, such services are not considered prostitution and are perfectly legal (in case anyone here is wondering).
@ Anthea
You know all ^this^ how?
Anthea considered herself a landlord and her husband, a mere tenant/peon/slave. No wonder her marriage failed.
We’re really doing this conversation again? We already did the whole damn thing.
What the high rate of women initiating divorce proceedings indicates is that, in the vast majority of cases, they are the injured party.
^^^ Patently false. Again, we already did this. But what the hell, let’s do it again…women, at least in America, know they will almost certainly win in court in a divorce, no matter what they may or may not have done. If the man did something, the woman wins…if the woman did something, it clearly must’ve been because of the man’s behavior. The court of public opinion in these cases has actually become the “family law” that is practiced (here).
Women are just as likely to be fucked up as men are. That’s why the simple act of making the right choice of a partner is so important. They don’t teach that in school, because it can’t be taught. It must be learned through life experience, as it is nuanced and unpredictable.
Mango: They have the narrative and they’re not going to let it go – no matter how patently false. If that amazes you, maybe it’s you who still have something to learn about women.
When men catch their wives cheating and ask for a divorce, the man’s mother often takes her side and demands that he forgive her. We are the natural other or enemy to most of them. That they should take the side of the Blacks and Muslims against us comes oh so very naturally as well.
Good men are many. Truly good women are few.
Not sure what of it that applies to my basic point.
Men all have something more to learn about women, much like women have much to learn about men. That’s where experience comes into play. We are of the same fabric, but definitely different.
And my mother didn’t for a second take my ex’s side.
Good men are there. Good women are there. Then there are a whole lot of people who fuck things up. I’ve seen no evidence of a difference between them (in my exhaustive life experience of 46 years).

“That’s why the simple act of making the right choice of a partner is so important.” ~ MrMangoOnMyShoulder

If that’s one’s goal, a potential problem for it can come when one ‘prices’ themselves and their hypothetical partner out of the market.
That’s part of the gist of it when I wrote, “Seems the women who Jarek is complaining about are the Jarek women.”…
Paradoxically perhaps, having an unrealistic, uncompromising and/or inordinately-critical standard for a partner and/or their sex in general can risk cratering one’s own value in a prospective partner’s eyes.
So it would seem mutually and/or self-reinforcing and where the potential ultimate result is celibacy. Sound familiar? Anyone we know?

“I wear what I see as your myriad problems like a furry costume.” ~ Jarek (hypothetically uttered to hypothetical partner)
Demeter, welcome to CFN, where every woman here, as far as I know, is vociferously objecting to the men in dresses who get to waltz into female spaces, thanks to the power of the Establishment, who have decided to make this their pet project.
Concur.
“Women” without ovaries are not women but into cosplay. Sometimes surgically augmented cosplay, but still not women. Wannabes.
Full disclosure: most men here at CFN are also opposed to “men in dresses who get to waltz into female spaces.”
***
Personally, I don’t believe that most in “the Establishment” “have decided to make this their pet project.” I believe that they are compromised (a la Epstein, Diddy, et al) and are instructed to support this lunacy lest their crimes be exposed.
Blackmail runs the USA today.

Once one has sold his/her soul to the Devil, a “Fuck it!” attitude develops whereby they will live it up large as they know that their time in this realm is short.
Paula, WRT ‘the establishment’, I am still waiting for more people to call a spade a spade and call themselves anarchists and then be done with it and then move onto better things.
Weekly anti-establishment chants hereon, both by the author and them by his commentarieat is really just inverse kumbayas.
Voting? Trump?
‘Aaa–hahahahahaaa! Too funny.’
…BTW, I planted my bean seedlings maybe a bit too early and now they are kind of growing too fast for their pots.
The whole voting and blob and Trump and bla bla bla are just so much ‘coffee-klatch pretzelings’.
Can men have male spaces? If not, why not. Show your work.
Demi claims that men have equal rights, but that’s nonsense.
For every female locker room, there is a male locker room. For every female bathroom, a male, except now, when men still have their own bathrooms, but women have their bathrooms turned into “unisex”.
For every woman’s prison, there is a male prison.
And so on.
When the government is pushing the agenda, as well as the media, the schools and universities, the libraries, the medical-industrial complex, especially Big Pharma, the military, the police, courts and prisons, the corporations, social media and NGOs, to look at the situation and profess doubt that the entire Establishment is behind it gets you docked on the conspiracy score card.
I walked into a burger joint called the habit for their really good Chicken sandwich.
While waiting for my food I decided to use the bathroom and was perplexed by no men’s room.
There was a women’s room called out exclusively then a unisex room which showed a symbol for man/women and changing table for changing diapers.
No men’s only bathroom.
Big mistake since half the men before me appeared to have missed the toilet.
@benr, were they running a wage-slave operation? I make great chicken sandwiches at home.
Businesses around here kowtowed to the vaccine mandates and we had to give our names and phone numbers for contact tracing. No vax, no service.
Businesses are or can be part of the problem.

Set up a male-only exercise club or whatever they’re called (I wouldn’t likely set foot in one.) and see how it works out.
Maybe the female only exercise clubs are more viable because women have differences.
Maybe if the men could get pregnant it would be different. Oh wait, they can; they’re called women. And they are different.
@zaz
Wage slave?
They were paying a couple of bucks over minimum without having been ordered to much like In N out and Chick Filet.
When it was $16 an hour they were paying almost $20.
Which is why these outfits typically had much better service and better tasting food.
If you are working for someone else technically you are a wage slave whether you make $20 or $100 an hour.
Women have their own gyms. A man tried to join and was denied. He took them to court. He lost.
Male spaces have been under assault for generations now. You weren’t aware? Everyone in the real world knows what would happen if men tried to create their own gym. Why waste the money?
So many men have spent money creating their own gyms at home with some inviting their friends. The seeds of a new culture.
@ The Man They Call Zazelle:
Maybe you live in a weird climate, but people usually direct-seed beans, rather than starting them indoors. Are you in a very short-season area? Even if you are, it seems unnecessary to start beans early indoors, as bush beans are a pretty short-season crop. We can always get in two planting here in Missouri, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we could get in three plantings.
Moonbeans
@Anthea:
Howdy sis’…
It’s obvious I planted them too early here in Nova Scotia. I was trying to be early for a change this year and sort of planted everything indoors all at once.
So, ok, I might have bean vines growing all over my walls by next month, but what the hell, I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. Maybe that bridge will be made of bean vines and I can use it to travel to the stars and carry moonbeans home in a jar.
To be fair, I was also trying to get a bit of a leg-up on whatever ate my bean seedlings last year– probably slugs. In any case, the slugs are going to be overwhelmed this year.
As a related aside, some deer badly got to my garden-plot-neighbour’s beans (I actually scared them off one evening), where mine were mostly spared because I had picked mine a day or so earlier. The early bean-picker gets the bean. This year, I might not be spared, but I have other stuff growing and to plant anyway that the deer might pass over.
Hey, looks like the green bug has bit me. You should see my window sills! I am going to have tomatoes and basil to make you green with envy, Tomato Girl. (ok, well maybe not haha)
@ The Man They Call Zazelle:
If you live in Nova Scotia, I guess it’s not surprising that your way of doing things has to be a bit different.
The deer haven’t given us any trouble here, so far. My daughter saw a couple of them in the garden in late winter, probably because they’d run out of interesting things to eat. I suggested we keep the garden gate closed, but my daughter pointed out that they could easily jump the fence.
We now have all our brassicas planted. Those were started indoors back in January, so they are nice looking plants. The onions were set out about a month ago, and my daughter just seeded the carrots. (That’s pretty late to be doing that here.)
I planted about 25 feet of lisianthus seedlings, and I’d like to get the rest of the row seeded with zinnias. Last year it seemed frivolous to devote a whole garden row to flowers, but now I think that cut flowers for the house are almost as indispensible as tomatoes.
@Anthea:
What is your general location if you don’t mind my asking? Seems you’re a fair bit more south than I.
I looked up lisianthus and am unfamiliar with it. Lovely though. Is it edible? Looks sort of like a cross between a rose and a carnation.
I planted some kind of brassica– one plant– last year (Or was it the year before?) that someone gave me, and it didn’t do well at all; the slugs demolished it and I lost count how many I picked off it.
I joked with my fellow gardeners that I should eat the slugs… But as jokes go, there’s often an embedded level of seriousness and I do like escargots– essentially slugs without the shell– with butter and garlic.
I don’t have the energy to debate this issue anymore. Beryl of Oyl and Cactus Jane beat me up pretty good last Friday.
You make very good and very valid points worthy of consideration.
Thank you, sir. As do you! When the crankiness passes…
This is how they win. They wear men down. View our fallen brother! Dead? “Only” his spirit….
Team up with a woman and you’ll have the best of both worlds. Compromise. Don’t expect the woman to be a man. Stuff like that. Stuff that matters. News for nerds.
@ Jarek:
You’re having another of your flights of fancy. You know perfectly well that women do not “wear you down,” for the simple reason that women do not speak to you at all. (And neither do men, for that matter.)
Sometimes I think it would be amusing to make a game of counting the number of Jarek’s psychotic breaks per week.
You’re Jarek’s informal telepresent quasipsychotherapist, like Peanuts’ Lucy. While on the surface, he may have a hard time appreciating your insights, deep down he might. He’ll always go for the football and you’ll always remove it. That’s just how it goes.
I took Jim’s essay of Friday last very differently than did you. My take was that Jim was not calling out ALL women but, rather, the MILLIONS of bat-shit crazy bitches.
There are a lot fewer than your estimate. And I live in one of those enclaves that doesn’t have an alternative. We just mind our own business and keep a low profile, doing real work.
And Reality catches up with those poor gullibles, every single time.
What? Are you saying that there are NOT more than 1 million bat-shit crazy bitches? Give your head a shake.
There are more than 1,000,000 bat-shit crazy bitches in Canada alone, for goodness sakes.
I agree with OG’s text. In my rantings about women I am well aware that not ALL women are bat shit crazy. There are obviously very intelligent women out there who do have their heads up and are aware of what ails us. There are intelligent women on these comment threads that are very much aware and very much anti marxism and anti leviathan. I enjoy reading their comments and their thoughts. I wish they didn’t their panties all twisted when I try to debate them, but, hey, what can you do?
When I rant about women I rant about the Letitia James, AOC, Hillary Clinton, Fanny Willis, Nancy Pelosi, that bitch from Minnesota who married her brother, the shiny faced governor from Michigan. Those kind of women.
There are many women in the system who I admire. Kristy Noem from South Dakota, Marsha Blackburn from Tennessee and my mind has gone blank right now, but, I know they are out there.
But, as you can see from the list I provided, it seems the crazy women far outnumber the sane women. I see a lot of women in my own little town who adorn themselves with ugly tattoos and facial piercings and dye their hair in unnatural colors while wearing clothing that is far too tight to fully cover their obese bodies and they don’t give a damn who is looking at them and who they offend. It’s these women that I rant against.
“Crazy” just gets the press. It’s not a census.
The good ones don’t get nearly enough press. By design I suppose.
Nancy Mace. Especially with her glasses on.
Manties
Men can get their manties in a twist too, but look on the bright side. It could be worse. Our women aren’t (yet) like some praying mantises that chow down on the male during, before or after sex.
And ya gotta luv the male deep sea anglerfish.
Thats because most men don’t need to get their head chewed off to achieve erection.
I believe you meant to say black widow which uses its mate and once done with it then kills and exsanguinates them.
Not all female praying mantises are like that? Oh yes they are. Some of the males manage to get away is all.
How are your manties today, guys? All fresh, snug and comfy?
I for one did not realize the Summer Olympics 2028 are going to be held in Los Angeles. Hey Cali and LA, you have 4 years to get your house in order. Better act quick!!!
They’ll roll thru the streets in Fire Trucks blasting those vagrants into the concrete LA River with high pressure hoses. Or else it’ll be like the street scene in the film ‘Soylent Green’ when those giant garbage trucks come thru scooping people up.
Newsom will have those neighborhoods cleaned up for the international media in no time,
And international reporters will have have “guides” appointed to them to keep them from straying off the path of make-believe.
Just like North Korea.
TRUMP IS FULL OF S__T! and so is MIKE JOHNSON.
And so are all the other Republicans, and all the horses they rode in on — except for Rand Paul and Marjorie. Did The Donald ever apologize for getting the vaccine thing wrong? Nope. Now he’s saying Ukraine is important for the USA?
Politics is not going to save us from The Blob. And our fellow Americans — they are going to have to experience what it’s like to face Reality at last. This country has had a free ride for WAY too long. America is due for a lesson that will mark it for the Ages.
God and Mother Nature always bat last.
Mike Johnson is a nobody that was inserted into this position because he can be pushed around. I mean, look at his name. MIKE JOHNSON. That is about as generic a name as Bob Smith. A nobody. A Loser. A spineless political hack who spends his off time wanking to pornography. He’s the Speaker this reason and none other.
If only Mike Johnson had stuck to “spending his off time wanking to pornography.” Instead, it is the video of his many illicit insertions of his johnson that is the reason that “he can pushed around.”
DC is a cesspool of blackmailed pedophiles. Sad but true.
We envy your unforgettable descriptive eventually monolithic moniker. God be merciful to the rest of the meek.
You like that eh? The full version is “Cankerpuss Jaworski.” It was the name of a band I played with in my high school days. I played keyboard and sang vocals.
Cankerpuss Jaworski never made it passed my friends garage and a few minor gigs here and there but sure was fun.
I think Frank Zappa wrote a song about your band. About all garage bands.
I have three “generic” names and had no idea I was so badoff [ rhymes with maddoff ].
Republicans are no better than the Ds. In fact, they are worse. The Ds don’t hide who they are and don’t hide their debauchery and filth. The Republicans try to put themselves on a pedestal as if they are maintaining the moral high ground. In reality, Republicans are hypocrites, liars and charlatans. That IMO is far worse than the filthy democrats.
Frick v Frack. They are two faces of the same putrid coin.
As long as you like one group of compromised, blackmailed pedophiles more than the other group of compromised, blackmailed pedophiles, you are caught in their trap.
They all suck. Literally.
Amen to that! We are under uniparty rule but most people are too blinded to see it.
Biden is telling everyone that Donald Trump is threatening democracy, even while he and others in the West continue to destroy every democratic principle enshrined in our Constitution.
Free speech is a prime example. The meaning of words is being changed to suit the goals of Babylonian culture. Some words are being banned, especially if they support truths that the government is trying to stamp out.
The other day a pro-Palestinian conference in Germany was shut down by police just because it was going to present eye-witness evidence of genocide in Gaza. Some of the speakers were stopped at the airport and refused entry into Berlin. It is now illegal to speak the truth about anything that the Zionists find to be inconvenient.
As I pointed out earlier, carrying a sign and chanting three word sentences can hardly be compared to owning your own media
Empire.

Far fewer will vote him this time compared to last time.

I’ve been saying this for ages that he’s full of shit, and I think he’s changing his mind on a lot of stuff because this sorry fake cock sucker is desperate to get elected again. So now he’s all in, and all that BS about him being the only one that can prevent WWIII? Yeah, okay.

Various factors likely contribute to higher homeownership rates among single women
Despite the data showing that women generally earn less money than men, single women have the homeownership edge. There are a few possible explanations.
Though it’s relatively sparse, there’s evidence that single women are more willing than single men to make sacrifices to become homeowners.
Further, while women generally earn less than men, that isn’t always the case — especially among younger generations, according to the Pew Research Center. In fact, women younger than 30 earn at least as much as men younger than 30 in 22 U.S. metros, including New York, Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles. In 107 metros, women younger than 30 earn 90% to 99% of what men younger than 30 do. These comparable (or even higher) earnings — combined with a greater homeownership desire — could contribute to higher homeownership rates among single women.
But homeownership isn’t just a young person’s game, and factors outside of individual earnings also contribute to homeownership. Considering that women typically live longer and are more likely to report being widowed than men, it’s likely that some women who are now single homeowners bought that home with the spouse they outlived. This helps to explain why single-women homeowners are typically older than their single-men counterparts, even though the pay gap is wider for older Americans.
With all that said, it’s important to note that single women owning more homes than single men doesn’t mean they’re better off financially. Moreover, while some may assume that higher homeownership rates are indicative that women are likely to disproportionately benefit from things like divorce, evidence doesn’t support this conclusion. On the contrary, women are more likely to face long-term economic struggles after a divorce than men. This highlights how much work is needed to address the economic imbalances among genders.
Jarek: Googled “women won more homes than men” and took a quick look at various sources. All of them ignore the divorce-rape of men.
The above it typical, boiler plate narrative. Women work harder and are more frugal, succeeding despite discrimination. Much work remains to be done (more men to be destroyed).
Demi:
“Of course, we are rather busy trying to hold the rest of the world together, starting with dishes and laundry.”
A scarcely veiled statement of superiority.
Maybe all the sources ignore the divorce-rape of men because it doesn’t happen as much as you think it does, Jarek.
Single women are doing things now that women never used to do previously, such as buying and remodeling homes all by themselves.
Maybe because there are now more women living single than married.
Once they divorce men, they’re single and often in possession of their own home. Magic!
Mary often boasted about her garden, seldom mentioning the paid male workers who did the heavy stuff. Isn’t that more like it, Ber?
Jarek I know or know of a number of women who wanted their own homes, and decided not to wait for the day they married, as that day might not come.
It’s a thing.
Whats wrong with paying to get the heavier work done, once you reach a certain age? And how do you know she paid men to do the heavy stuff?
Back when I did much gardening, I did all the work myself.
I noticed a house near me with a very nicely landscaped yard, and I also noticed it was an all-female crew that did it.
Women have always had gardens, with or without male help.
Seems the women who Jarek is complaining about are the Jarek women.
It’s quite normal to hire someone to till your garden in spring. For one thing, it’s cheaper than buying a tiller.
Tilling is the main heavy gardening work. Fencing is also hard work and probably best hired out, unless you know what you’re doing and have the tools. Most of the rest of the gardening work is well within the physical capabilities of any healthy woman, unless she’s getting pretty old (like me).
I used to drive over to a nearby llama farm and fill two or three 50-gallon storage bins with llama manure and bring it home to spread on the garden. Obviously, I did not carry around 50-gallon bins full of manure. I shoveled the manure into a wheelbarrow to move it.
While I cannot comment on how much Jarek thinks divorce-rape happens, I can confirm that it is wide-spread and prevalent in Ontario. In fact, the bar has constructed an entire industry based upon divorce-rape.
There will be a reckoning. Truly.
Divorce lawyers are a large part of what gives lawyers a bad name.
It isn’t just a men, women thing.
What I see happening in “equitable distribution” states like NY, is either one party buys the other out or the home has to be sold to give each their share.
This doesn’t mean that it always happens, but what it does mean is that the idea that the woman automatically keeps the house is fiction.
Theoretically, your spouse can just decide one day that they don’t want to be married anymore, and you can end up without a roof over your head.
In Ontario, Family Law is pure misandric. I’m not making it up. I witnessed it. I suffered through it. I am unjustly out over $1,400,000 because of it. Our children will rent for decades rather than own because of it.
And it was not just them picking on me – it was obviously systemic. I know this for a fact. I’m not making it up.
Judges, Applicant lawyers, Respondent lawyers, mediators … the entire process: misandric. Ontario Family Law is an extortion racket. Honest to God it is.
Jesus OG, $1.4 million.
No wonder your pissed.
@OG:
“When one sex wins, both sexes lose.” ~ Warren Farrell, ‘The Myth of Male Power’
@ OG:
We here at CFN remember your divorce travails well. Obviously, the $1.4 million went to lawyers and not to your ex-wife and kids. Seems to me that could have been prevented by sitting down with the wife and negotiating a fair settlement.
What commonly happens in these cases is that a predatory attorney gets hold of the husband and goes to work on him to make him angry enough spend his last penny on his lawyer, rather than give a penny to his wife and kids. Men are very susceptible to being manipulated in this way, and there are whole battalions of lawyers who specialize in milking them. Many a dad has put his lawyer’s kids through college in order to avoid buying his own kid a winter coat.
While you have not brought up the matter of your ex “initiating the divorce,” I suppose I could be forgiven for mentioning it, since a couple of the guys around here seem to think that initiating divorce is perfidioius (or something).
Anyway, many of us here remember what was almost certainly the main reason your ex initiated the divorce, which was your severe alcoholism.
Anyway, it appears to me that you are not out $1.4 million because Ontario Family Law is misandric. You are (most likely) out $1.4 million because you decided to pursue endless, and probably needless, litigation.
Somewhere in the thread, Jarek mentions a ‘Pareto’ 80%-20% women-men divorce-initiation statistic…
Assuming for the sake of argument that that statistic is correct, it is entirely possible, for example, that the men over the women are more likely to have a side-dish (that is, a mistress) and, as such, may be less inclined to initiate a divorce.
Secondly, that Pareto efficiency ratio seems to pop up here and there in natural systems too.
My wife was married, briefly, before she and I found each other. Her husband got everything. When I married my sweetheart she brought nothing, materially speaking, to our marriage. He took it all.
Just a thought….
On the flip side, my poor brother-in-law was paying more than $1,000 per month in child support for 1 child. She kept taking him to court to get more and more money until the poor bastard just stopped working his high paying job and took a job driving a tractor at a local mine.
OG,
I feel you are being a bit hard on Lawyers. I, myself, at a young age applied for Law School, but was rejected when they found out my parents were married…..
Tater Salet !
Tater Select! French fries up the wazoo!
My boss is a woman. She makes more money than I do. I also have female co-workers who make more than I do.
From my perspective, in my state, women who are qualified for the position and do it well get paid just as much and more than men.
That’s my perspective from where I work. Not an incorrect assumption of data to make a point. I see that here in my place of employment. The women in my work place do just as well financially as the men because they are damned good at their work.
That’s the way it should be. Women shouldn’t be paid more just because they have a vagina. If they are qualified for the work and can do the job they should receive the same pay as the man.
It’s the women who want equal pay for doing different work that piss me off.
My ex-husband burned down our house. He was such a prize.
How could I possibly have been heartless enough to divorce him?
Because you were going to kick him out of it?
Speaker of Wikipedia, we now know so much more about why it became what it is today.
Now we are seeing credible accusations that the new head of NPR is an intelligence asset.
She comes from Wikimedia Foundation.
Wikipedia was always asking for donations, as if they were broke and operating on a shoestring.
Larry Sanger Speaks Out
The Wikipedia co-founder discusses Katherine Maher and the corruption of the Internet.
Larry Sanger remembers the promise of the web. He co-founded Wikipedia in 2001, with the hope that it could sustain a “free and open” Internet—a place where information, dissent, and creativity could thrive. At Wikipedia, he proposed a system of rules that encouraged users to “avoid bias” and maintain a “neutral point of view.”
That Internet is gone.
I reached out to Sanger following the revelation, from my original reporting, that former Wikimedia Foundation CEO Katherine Maher, who is now CEO of NPR, had explicitly rejected the principles of a “free and open” Internet, collaborated with government officials to censor dissent, and spurned the concept of objective truth altogether, in favor of left-wing relativism.
Sanger told me he was shocked, but not surprised.

Six degrees of separation.
This country literally can no longer understand the concept of producing things.
So Congress cheers and waves the Nazi flags, because they are going to get money. Lots of money.
They also voted to steal every bit of Russian money that they can get their hands on.
Who cares if there are not enough shells produced to help the hapless kidnapped conscripts dying in the trenches of Ukraine? The point was never to win anyway, it was to kill them off, so that Blackrock could waltz through the black soil of Ukraine unopposed.
Each Congress criminal is aiming for their own private jet and island, no doubt. They got a taste of life on Epstein’s island, and they want their own.
Ukraine can just shoot credit derivative swaps at the Russkies.
Those are worth trillions, so they clearly should be effective. Right?
Yup, pretty much. Question is, what are we going to do about it? I am getting downright sick and tired just complaining of the idiots that are running the show. Unlike them, I want to see metrics of real progress as we boot them out and get things back under control.
Ukraine can just shoot credit derivative swaps at the Russkies.
Ha! That’s the best line that I’ve read all morning.
It took the UK 60 years to pay off its loans from the US and Canada after WWII. That seems like nothing compared to what’s coming for Ukraine. They will be paying for this war till the end of time (which, on the other hand, may not be long coming).
Russia for some reason took on the debt owed by the USSR to the US.
They only paid it back this century, as I recall.
The US is a harsh creditor.
We paid ours off in 2006, I think.
I’ve had the impression in the past that a lot of Americans think the Marshall Plan was about free handouts rather than loans!
You’re right, Paula D. I’m not a producer. I work in the land development profession. I don’t produce any material goods. If you want to develop land I can give good consultation but as far as being a producer, I don’t produce diddly.
I don’t know what I could do to become a producer. Take up a welding class? Stake a claim in a mine?
Such is the state of many in the society we were born into. I didn’t ask for this society, I was born into it by parents who didn’t ask me if I wanted to be born into it.
@Paula D
And what happens if they do manage to steal everything from Russia, if that’s even possible?
They can only steal the money Russia had invested in the US, so far.
The whole Ukraine war is about the US plotting to overthrow the Russian government, divide it up, and move in to loot its riches, the way they did in the 90s, after the USSR was destroyed.
Millions of Russians died in the 90s from the resulting poverty, but no one in the US cares about that.
They just say “Russian life expectancy dropped dramatically”, and then ignore it.

I find it inconsistent that so many people are so very vocal in their opposition to “sending” Ukraine more tens of billions of US$ from your bankrupt Treasury while they’ve nary a peep about doing the exact same for Israel.
I mean: if there’s a good reason for assessing the exact same so very differently, then let’s hear it.
Yeah, the whole package was a disgrace, IMHO, especially when there are so many born-and-raised and legally-naturalized US citizens who need a helping hand right now.
$60,800,000,000.00 to Ukraine. USA has 129 million tax payers. That’s almost 500 bucks apiece we’re shelling out. A K-note between the wife and I. I actually heard President Potatohead say this is good for America. All this USA weapon production means jobs ,jobs,jobs for Americans.
A K-note from you & the missus to Zelenskyy and then don’t forget to throw in an additional $500 for Bibi.
and 10% for the Big Guy!
Raytheon down in Newport is going gangbusters. 3 shifts, plenty of OT.
@OG:
The money we’ve given Ukraine has been over 2 or 3 years. The money we’ve given Israel has been over 75 years, yet the amounts have totaled pretty much the same.
Israel at least achieves their immediate military goals, but everyone knows Ukraine will never achieve theirs, so our money is being thrown away.
Ukraine emotionally gives a shit about America, while Israel loves America.
You don’t have to agree with Israel’s actions, but imo it’s clear why the two situations are different.
lol Israel Loves America, I’m rolling on the ground laughing. Yeah they love America alright, they love using blacks against you idiot whites then laughing as they fuck your women while they spread negro propaganda about how big and black their dicks are. You out right make it sound like it’s okay we give Israel all that money, fuck that shit.
I don’t consider “love” something you can purchase.
“Love” is also a very strong word. They LOVE the money they get from this idiotic failing country. But that’s not love, you can’t buy love from anyone. To sit there and say Ukraine is wasting money is a very foolish assertion. How is it wasting money? How is giving Israel money benefiting ME or my fucking family? How is giving them money benefiting veterans who fought their stupid Banker wars and ended up homeless? I’ll believe love when they start ACTUALLY DOING BENEFICIAL SHIT for America vs spreading all their damn propaganda in everything like Blacks on white women pornography.
It’s not so much Ukraine wasting it as it is the US giving money for stupid wasteful things in Ukraine.

So … are you saying that you are against Congress “sending” $61B to Ukraine but for “sending” $29B to Israel?
From what I’m learning, money we give Israel is really money so that they will keep buying weapons from the US and not make their own.
Possibly this is one of those “loans you don’t have to pay back” but that forgiveness comes with strings attached?
That has been one of Ukraine’s biggest problems all along. Somebody crooked gets a loan, wastes it, then the new people have to get loans to pay for the wasted loans, and the new loans come with “conditions”.
Most are aid (i.e. gifts), not loans.
All is really a shell game as the “money” goes to US MIC and then US MIC sends corruptly over-priced killing machines and armaments (to both Ukraine and Israel).
It is pigs at the trough in both cases … and most of the swine lives within a couple of hours of the phallic Washington obelisk.
They are looting you clean before they eventually pull the pin on you.
@OG,
Then fuck it all. Stop sending money to any country, including any of our other allies. Let’s be cheap and keep our money to ourselves. Let’s see if the ME Muslims do anything about that. No money. Keep away from all foreign entanglements. BArm our southern border. Give Texas, New Mexico, Florida, and Arizona bullets, guns and the right to use them against anyone crossing the border. Kill any foreigners crossing from Canada.
Let’s be fair. No aid to any non-American because they could be using us. No aid to England, France and the rest of Europe because they secretly don’t think much of us. So why send them money? Nor any to Asian people. They think differently than us. No aid to Black Africa. After all, their IQs are too low, and, besides, they hate Whites.
Everyone will be happy. America will stand by itself.
Exactly. Bill. Presently you’re like a drunken sailor spending the money that your children’s children will never have. It’s ridiculous that you are $35,000,000,000,000 in debt and yet still giving away billions – and all while your very own people live in tent ghettos blighting your cities.
Debasing your dying fiat petro-dollar for Ukraine and Israel is some bizarre Santa Claus suicide.
Ree-dick-you-luss.
It is not “cheap” for a country to look after its own citizens first. In fact, it is their mandate.
And look what happened the last time we did that two huge world wars.
We pull back from the world stage and everything falls apart even faster.
Huh? The US was not sending billions of dollars to anybody before either World War, benr. Your phoney bologna fiat dollar (where you can just conjure “money” out of thin air) came after WWII.
You think the world would fall apart without your meddling? Give your head a shake.
You think that World Wars I & II never would have happened if you were in there meddling more (when, in reality, you ran false flags to drag reluctant Americans into existing wars that were none of your business)?
“If clues were shoes, you’d be barefoot.”
“Sure things are falling apart with our meddling … but they’d be even worse without our meddling!”
“Eh … what a maroon!”
@og
Well another swing and a miss from the loudmouth Canadian.
I said when America pulls back from the world we got two world wars.
Isolationism!
history.state.gov/milestones/1937-1945/american-isolationism
In both cases we had reduced our Military and went back to being a regional power and ATTEMPTED to ignore the worlds troubles.
IE Monroe Doctrine. .
I suspect as a country we learned it is far cheaper to bribe countries to do what we want than to eventually have to go back to yet another world war.
Amen.

George Washington warned us in his farewell address to avoid entering into foreign entanglements. Your comment illustrates perfectly well why he was telling our ancestors this very thing.
Because Israel is a long time ally. Ukraine historically has always been in the Russian orbit, if not part of Russia itself.
I will still be voting for Trump and the Republicans this November because I believe that this regime needs to face consequences of some kind for what it has been promoting and trying to promote socially and politically. But now that Trump is on the Ukraine-train, and make no mistake, his influence was instrumental in getting this cataclysmic boondoggle of an “aid-package” passed, I’m more convinced than ever that our real problems don’t have political solutions, or at least none that our current clown-show of a political class would be willing or able to enact.
For me, at this point, the biggest reason to vote for Trump is to protest the “law-fare” being waged against him.
It’s a compelling reason, but I’m not sure it’s compelling enough for me. We will see.
A big reason to vote for RFK Jr is that he was, and remains, a voice against Big Pharma, and the toxic mRNA injections.
Again, it’s compelling, but compelling enough? We will see.
RFK Jr. managed to get the whole Ukraine thing figured out better than anyone else I’ve seen, fast.
We are supposed to believe that all these others can’t do so because of what they are being told that isn’t so.
On the Ukraine, chances are RFK is not beholden to the Military Industrial Complex, so he can say the right thing.
Trump likes to talk out of both sides of his mouth. He realizes the GOP establishment (and quite a few Republicans) support the US-instigated war (which started in 2014, under Obama/Clinton/Nuland). And he realizes that most of his real supporters don’t support giving Ukraine more aid. So, because in his mind he is brilliant, he figures can can appeal to both sides.
Trump likes to say “if I was President, Putin wouldn’t have invaded. Hamas would not have attacked on Oct 07”.
He’s full of $hit. HIS administration’s policies (that means the Donald himself owns it, regardless of whether he grasped the significance of what was happening) helped fuel BOTH conflicts.
Palestine/Israel is easier for him, because the establishment wants whatever Israel wants, and many of his supporters probably do as well.
And if that’s not enough, Sheldon Adelson is said to have bankrolled a lot of his campaign, and the Adelsons, BIG ZIONISTS, are said to have given the Republicans over $400 million from 2016-2020.
The Donald knows a good deal when he sees it: “these people give me a lotta dough, it doesn’t cost me anything, so, WTF, why not do as they say?”
That’s a lot of PAC money (to his credit, JHK has criticized the Citizens United ruling, much better than I can. The ruling represented a turning point on campaign finance, allowing unlimited election spending by corporations, and that’s how the Adelson’s could give such big bucks. Individual can only directly contribute $6k, but one can give more to PACs. And “corporations”…).
I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that President Trump “awarded” Miriam Adelson the “Presidential Medal of Freedom”.
And why not? Our currency is debased, our military is debased, may as well debase the “Prez Medal of Freedom”
Socrates-Detroit – that’s quite a quandary. I’ve read some of your criticisms of Trump.
To vote for that underachieving lunatic because you don’t like that he’s being prosecuted is surely not sufficient reason when you also consider all the other nasty toxic shit another Trump term would bring.
Go with RFK Jr. Either way, you’ll end up having spent your vote on a losing candidate.
I could spend all day criticizing Trump.
And even so, Trump is infinitely more competent, more ethical, more intelligent, and infinitely much less bad than Joe Biden, a bland, completely undistinguished career politician whose biggest skill was selling himself and his office for the benefit of others and enriching himself in the process.
Until the ill-advised lockdown, Trump, with all his shortcomings, was the first President during my lifetime who was better than his predecessor.
Biden is the biggest loser, by far.
American had some serious problems even before COVID. even before the Russians were compelled to take action directly in the Ukraine; even before the Hamas attack and Israeli war on Gaza.
Biden has made ALL the previous problems much worse.
But Biden has created even bigger problems, on top of the pre-existing ones.
The Biden Administration pushed the toxic, untested mRNA shots, which have killed and maimed millions of people who were fine before–Americans are literally dying, and the medical system is pretty busy. Try finding a new doctor now (mine retired).
Biden is actively leading the effort and pushing the world to the brink of WW3 with Russia and China (Trump and RFK Jr would not be leading it, though the blob would be pushing them). A hot WW3 will make us forget about the other very problems.
America’s global reputation is the lowest it has ever been, and still heading down. And outside of the West, the world is drawing closer to China and Russia.
And Biden has polarized this country even more.
So why would anyone with a half a brain, who is not a member of some special interest group that gets preferential treatment our handouts, some one who actually works and pays taxes, why would anyone vote for Biden?
@SD
You do realize that Grace is Majella with anew name pretending to be someone new?
Nothing you say will influence this tool.
I do agree with everything you posted above 100%.
@benr
I figured he might be a troll.
But I did not make the connection with Majella, thank you.
I wanted to take the opportunity to put Trump and Biden in context.
In this CFN, I have expressed my disillusionment with Mr. Trump.
Biden is infinitely worse–and I cannot think of a single, positive attribute about this person.
In short, Biden’s words, and his administration’s policies have accelerated bad trends and taken them beyond the point of no return.
Trump, for all his flaws is infinitely better than Biden.
I voted for Trump last time as a protest against the way they treated him.
This time, I will go by my red line.
My red line is forced injections of experimental drugs.
Oh Hell No.
Only one candidate is against forced inoculation, the same one who wrote the book on Fauci.
This should be a no-brainer to people who resisted the GMO injection, imo.

“Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they’ve told you what you think it is you want to hear.” ~ Alan Coren
In this technological society it seems we can’t distinguish between truth and fiction. If we go too far in one direction we become conspiracy theorists, or too far in the other direction, we become lackadaisical and self-absorbed.
And it’ll get more extreme as AI advances. I can honestly say it’s hard for me to know the difference. The only way to know is to look around you and see what appears to be happening. Other than direct observation everything else is just speculation.
What I see is that people aren’t yet ready to make changes in the disposition of their lives. Apparently a majority are reasonably satisfied with the way things are – sure, we have issues, but when haven’t we?
I live in a very liberal suburban area. It’s very populous, although my immediate location is set apart. Residents are mostly satisfied except for taxes. But complaints about taxes have always occurred. Talk to them about throwing out our government or changing our political systems, and their hackles go up.
And I think these people are the vast majority of the country. We (the CFN commentators) who aren’t the typical population, tend to be upset that others don’t see what we see. As long as we can eat, breathe and be protected from the elements, no big changes will occur. But if any of these don’t continue,society will collapse almost in the blink of an eye. On this blog we believe this will be so.
In the meantime, I’d recommend we be patient and go about our business doing what we think is necessary.
Right. Civil society is always about nine meals away from anarchy.
Keep your bunkers stocked. I personally recommend several cases of tuna, tinned fish, beans, and rice. In addition to several 100 gallons of water, a few cases of cigarettes, and rubbing alcohol (along with more than a few bottles of the drinkable kind). You will be set for some time.
CB81 – think about ditching the water – each 100 gallons is 833 pounds and too much required space.
Make a simple water purifier out of two 5-gallon pails and some USA Berkey replacement filters. Each setup yields 6K gallons of filtered fresh water. Cost is on the order of $120 each setup, so $0.02 per gallon.
Sources of water – ponds, rain, ditches, lakes, puddles – are usually plentiful, it’s potable water you need. The filters solve that problem. Easily moved from location to location – weigh about 10 pounds.
Think potable water is a perfect barter item? Me too. Probably $2.00 (value) per gallon that cost you 2 cents per gallon. Think ahead, but think.
I have activated charcoal, sand, and bleach, with the same idea.
Paula – how do you have this system set up?
I don’t. I just have them in case I need them. I picture punching holes in the bottom of one bucket, filling it with sand and charcoal, and filtering the water through, then bleaching it to kill the bacteria.
I have no idea if it will work.
If you have any interest, my setup is a simple 15-minute build – nothing fancy.
Two food grade 5-gallon pails with screw on lids. Two USA Berkey replacement filters. One simple plastic thumb depressed dispensing spigot. All available online. Uline (possibly the most efficient, well-run, privately held company in the US) for pails, Berkey for filters, generic for spigot.
The pails sit atop on another. The bottom pail (filtered water) has only the spigot drilled and installed, maybe 3 inches from the bottom.
The top pail contains the filters (2), arranged vertically, holes drilled through the top pail bottom, and the bottom pail lid – filters are hand screwed into place. The bottom pail lid is “permanently” attached to the top pail bottom as one piece, and screws onto the bottom pail.
Simply collect any “source water”, pour into the top pail, screw the top lid on, and the water is filtered, and gravity fed into the lower pail, ready for dispensing filtered clean potable water.
The Berkey filters are good for 3K gallons each, so 6K gallons before needing replacement (suggest a pair for replacement).
You and your husband at the suggested rate of 2 gal/day, comes to 1460 gallons per year. You’re good to go. Barter the rest of your capacity.
The upside is hard to beat. Needs 4 SF floor or counter space, max weight is about 83 lbs., with both pails full. Weighs about 10 lbs. empty, for easy transport/relocation.
Order parts, drill three holes, assemble parts and you’re done. Have at it. It works. The only caveat is no source saltwater, but that’s not really a problem. Good luck.
Thanks, Ron. That is more complicated than my vision, but also way cleaner.
” The wild card is the increasingly inflamed mood of the American people…”
Into this inflamed mood must now come suggestions for conscious steps toward the rebuilding of America–before the ashes.
One suggestion is to deliberately begin the task of creating a parallel state from the ground up (see writings of N.S. Lyons, especially “The Right’s Future Must be Parallel and Counter-Revolutionary.”
The old-guard conservatism is no longer of any use in such a task because it has not conserved anything.
Instead, a managerial/totalitarian monolith has been constructed right before our very eyes and dares us to do anything about it.
How about incrementally constructing parallel cultural and economic networks that might have the potential to become a political vehicle of some clout down the road.
Such networks would then be in place when the liberal/left managerial, totalitarian structure collapses into ashes.
The first step in this direction is to pivot directly to the inflamed mood of the American public and develop local community institutions that would speak directly to everyone’s increasing sense of isolation and despair and that might eventually transfer loyalty to these same local networks.
Such a strategy would be difficult to disrupt or suppress, it could be flexible enough to meet a wide range of challenges and scenarios from attempts at repression, to acute instability of any type, and would generate a sense of legitimacy through its very existence and everyday functioning.
I believe that, contrary to the sentiment of commentators like Cankerpuss who continually claim that “The people are too far gone, too divided, too stupid…,” that dissident grass-roots American citizens have the brains and will to create new opposing local and regional structures outside the familiar battleground of electoral politics.
If something along these lines isn’t attempted, our complacent conservative leaders seem quite capable of delivering us up to complete destruction.

“this inflamed mood’…where is it?
Oh, there it is…over there on the right.
The remaining 60% of the population has avoided contracting the mind-eating MAGA & Russian Propaganda viruses, which the FSB & the troll farms of Belarus weaponized and released on the world. Now they’ve mutated into one super-virus, to the point where anyone who has it cannot see the reality right in front of them.
Mind-eating Russian propaganda viruses.
Now there’s a conspiracy theory!
Speaking of mind eating viruses looks like you have kudu because you live in an alternate reality of imbecilic stupidity.
Socialism breeds a special kind of stupid.
You got that right, benr.
OG, it’s a metaphorical ‘virus’, of course. However, it seems to mainly affect those who think
1) Trump is awesome
2) there’s a conspiracy to turn us all into slaves (as if we aren’t already, metaphorically); and
3) the likes of benr.
So, it’s a low IQ environment to start with and one the Putin Talking Points have been hammered home by MTG & Jesse Watters, the net effect looks like some sort of mental infection. How else can anyone explain just how fucking STUPID MAGA people are? Just go to youtube and have a listen to some of these morons when interviewed by normal people. It’s staggering.
For Grace. Are you normal?
She’s just repeating mainstream propaganda.
Someone sent me a link to the manifesto written by the fella who torched himself the other day in NYC. It sounds like he would fit right in here with the conspiracy crew. i’ve heard many of the same points espoused here. What a sad thing to do to get your point across.
theponzipapers.substack.com/p/i-have-set-myself-on-fire-outside
And equally sad that he felt that he had no other alternative in his attempt to awaken the masses.
“Because these words are true, this is an act of revolution.”
May God have mercy on his soul.
Yes, the poor deluded fool…
You think he would have had better options to get his point across, but I guess not. Now it is all a moot point, since he is no longer here to spread the word.
All the lives the left is destroying and the money they are wasting in prosecuting Trump is simply mind boggling.
Is it any different than a Bhuddhist monk doing the same in the Saigon of the 1960’s ?
Much different actually.
Americans won’t remember this guy in two weeks and the media will paint him as mentally ill.
Yeah, so pointless. It’s being framed as a mere sideshow (to Trump); a circus act gone bad. BTW, the guy was a Rutgers grad with a masters in city and regional planning. What a waste.
Really sad.
He was hot about the issues. Red hot. What issues? All issues. He even had a manifesto.
@Jarek
I can’t seem to find if you replied to me or not, but its way at the top somewhere. Anyway I asked you why are white men not voting for Trump in large numbers anymore a second time?
Maybe they’re finally waking up and ‘voting’ for themselves and as such, bailing (from the system).
Because Trump ignored them for four years, never stopping the invasion but always talking about Black and Hispanic job numbers. What about your base, you bozo?
Now he’s for abortion and two wars. He was a peace candidate before.
Why bother?
He did throw out, They’re defiling our blood, two months ago or so. But it means no more than his famous, They’re rapists, speech.
@Jarek
That’s what I meant, the guy was always full of shit….That’s just him being desperate to get elected again. You might as well say he’s a fucking Democrat now. What a bum, and I can’t believe people even bothered to support this lying ass fraud. That’s exactly why I was always calling him out because I knew he wasn’t trustworthy. He gets his ass handed to him by a black woman in court, and now all of a sudden he’s a different person.
@Jarek
All these politicians are traitors, and they all want the same thing. In Trumps case, he’s desperate to get back into the White house, so he’s supporting a lot of stuff in order to make sure he wins over a bunch of people on the Left, he was never a real conservative anyway, I don’t know why people ever thought that he was.
Yet I wonder if his base is even aware of his new stance and approach. Because a few months ago I saw plenty of white people at his rally listening to him. But if what you say about him is true…I’d like to know why do people on this forum still trust him….Socrates called him out, and he went into much further detail about it.
We never got our own Prophet, at least not since Zarathustra thousands of years ago. Christ was great, but of a different people and culture. Accepting him came with a very heavy burden of universalism and being bound to the horrible culture He emerged from.
Will we ever get a great King or Leader again? A Vladimir Putin? Or perhaps we haven’t suffered enough yet.
Janos, the question seems to be “Do we deserve a great leader?”
The answer appears to be in the negative.
We WOULD be better off without giving any aid. We’d get nothing from the world, which is what we get now. If the world goes down, we’d be okay. We can always become self-sufficient just like we used to. Do we really care if Russia takes over Europe, or China, Asia?
All we have to do is get rid of the people keeping us dependent on them.
Russia does not want to take over Europe, Bill. They never even wanted all of Ukraine.
Of course you and the world would BOTH be WAY better off without your MIC vampiring all resources for mayhem and destruction. Clearly.
Unfortunately, most Americans don’t know anything about the Maidan Revolution of 2014 and could not tell you who Victoria Nuland is. So no wonder they think the Ukraine-Russia war is all Putin’s fault. How long will the $60 billion last before President Zelenskyy comes begging for another handout?
One month.
How many people are aware of the Soros funded color revolutions all over the place?

Migrant Willy Bastidas opined, The mayor doesn’t represent us. And these policies will only exacerbate the problem.
Jarek: Hang in there, you lucky bastard. You’ll be a citizen in no time. Maybe even get to fight in the Ukraine, the Stans, or the States against the White savages oppressing your people.
A summary of The Burning Man’s manifesto. It all sounds very familiar…this BS started in the 1950s.
“Earlier in the day, Azzarello published his manifesto on Substack. Turns out his reasoning had little to do with Trump or the election or anything really political at all. He was an adherent of a variation on one of the basic far-ranging conspiracy theories — that many governments, companies, and elite figures are planning a fascist totalitarian takeover of the entire world, implanting cryptocurrency to defraud and bankrupt all of us. His act of self-immolation was to raise awareness of this impending doom and a call to action for all of us to fight back.”
While, of course, the powers that be really wuv us!
So, OG, when is this long-heralded coup going to take place?
I don’t know. “A lot of ins, a lot of outs.”
***
It’s been happening for decades, Grace. Things seem to be coming to a head right about now but I am not privy to exactly what their plans are.
Hint: Do not accept any more jabs.
No please do.
Take them all and please take mine for me.
“ It all sounds very familiar…this BS started in the 1950s.”
Oppression goes back much further:
Rothbard tells us about Chuang Tzu (369-c.286 BC):
’There has been such a thing as letting mankind alone; there has never been such a thing as governing mankind [with success]’. Chuang Tzu was also the first to work out the idea of ‘spontaneous order’, independently discovered by Proudhon in the nineteenth century, and developed by F.A. von Hayek of the Austrian School in the twentieth. Thus, Chuang Tzu: ‘Good order results spontaneously when things are let alone’.
While Israel has received more American aid than any other country in pure dollars, that’s simply counting each country as one.
I’d like to see an analysis of American aid on a per capita basis.
For example, $61B for 38mm Ukrainians is $1,605/Ukrainian while $29B for 10mm Israelis id $2,900/Israeli – close to double!
Measured in those terms, one can easily see who really runs DC while everyone follows the magician’s other hand and bitches about the wrong thing.

Are the stresses of living in relative luxury less destructive than the ones we were designed for?
Living without the stress of gravity might seem fun for a day, but your body will quickly go into a decline without the stress it was designed for.
An acquaintance of mine lives in a $3 million house that his wife took from her ex-husband. She kicked the ex-husband out and moved the new guy right in.
Is the paradox of choice equivalent to just such an unbearable lightness of being? Leading to the heaviest of woes, solitude in decrepitude?
And conversely, was the gravity of marrying someone who lived in your neighborhood and never leaving there the eustress (good stress) that preserves life?
Leading to the heaviest of woes, solitude in decrepitude?

Somebody should explain to Howie about the orc tu-22 bomber which was shot down with great aplomb 300 kms inside orcville a few days ago. Also, a significant salvage and recovery ship was destroyed this past weekend in temporarily occupied Sevastopol and will never again do any salvaging or recovering of the depleted orc navy which has lost 40% of the fleeting Black Sea fleet. Howie hasn’t seen nothing yet. The injection of US weaponry is to include long range [more than 160 kms] ATACMS. Howies denigration of the Ukrainian Armed Forces capabilities is flawed beyond belief.
I wonder if Dmitry Orlov ever has thoughts of returning to the US.
Zaz, there is a category of expatriate which has turned perplexed, after having embedded himself firmly in an attractive alien culture, uncovered the idiocies of that culture once the glamor wears thin, determined that his native place and context did have certain commendable values – which the new culture might lack – goes back home, but if he is smart enough (and cannot ignore reality) mentally becomes a “man without a country”, dissatisfied wherever he settles, as he sees too deeply into the condition.
An unenviable quality which does not afflict the locals. How many normies have a profound understanding of the shabbiness of our cities, the surging anger and impatience of many strangers one runs across (or are behind the wheel and ready to rage)? Unless you have integrated deeply into an alien culture, you might not gain that perspective.
I have met many Japanese, in North America and Asia – intelligent, good-natured and eloquent individuals who truly “cannot go home again” as once back in Japan they feel the cruelty, rigidity and desperate unhappiness of those around them in a way that homebodies do not.
The elite, of course, are “different”, as they manage to insulate themselves with their money, so wherever they are, well, “there they are”, in smooth, impersonal five-star comfort.
If they dare to venture from that planet they may end up eaten, like Michael Rockefeller.
Sounds like wisdom, Speedy.
“Some species of anglerfish – the deep-sea predator that uses a luminous lure to attract prey – have a bizarre way of reproducing: they fuse with their mates…
Some species mate through a process known as sexual parasitism. Males, which are often less than 10 millimetres in length, attach to the body of the larger female.
For some species of anglerfish, this attachment is temporary. In others, it is permanent: the skin tissues of the two fish fuse and eventually their circulatory systems connect, and the male becomes dependent on its mate for nutrients.” ~ newscientist.com/article/2250429-deep-sea-anglerfish-fuse-bodies-to-mate-thanks-to-an-odd-immune-system/

I can live modestly for the rest of my life (I now have no other choice) and, with time, I can even now thank God for my (relatively mild) Job treatment … but the impact on my children (son 26, daughter 22 on May 3) … that upsets me. I could and would do so much for them – as was my right because I worked my ass off for it.
Jarek is correct – if you get on the wrong-side of a woman, she can give your half of your life’s work to complete strangers out of a sick combo of spite and stupidity.
It is usually not a good thing when a substantive political event occurs at the same time you are at perihelion with the outer world as expressed in socio political terms. And then a waxing gibbous Moon to boot! So the turbulent tides go. And so the precession proceeds. The outer darkness looks somewhat inviting given the trouble no? In reality it is silly to expect a healthy outcome from a diseased system and yet humans are relentless. i don’t need to steal from anyone or even bother anyone for that matter to follow my path. Source has blessed me. So why would i want to be part of a system that is predicated on stealing, killing and destroying? Prayerfully this is a question that all those wandering stars will ask themselves sooner than later.
Is “outer darkness” a location or a mindset, as you are using it.
both
I would like to add to this idea as i mention it now and then and it may get misconstrued by the very few who read my comments. The outer darkness is not the same thing as mentioned by Jesus. Rather my reference is used to denote an outer area that is much further distant from the center of action so to speak. As long as you are within the galaxy you can see the wonder of the galactic nebula all around. And yes, the ambient light does shine throughout. And yet you are well removed from the hussle and bustle of any particular center so to speak.
More than a very few, Dreamy. I see we have work to do. <3

What’s stopping every civilian left in the western half of Ukraine from just heading to Mexico and then walking in over the border to the US? Ukrainians must be the flavour of the month there these days, like we “Aussies from Down Under” were when Crocodile Dundee came out.
Russia is going to have to fund the rebuilding of, at the very least, the eastern half of former Ukraine, soon to be globally known as the Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The US can do their bit by chucking the western Ukrainian diaspora onto welfare domestically.
While we’re at it, Russia should see if Mexico might want to join the Russian Federation, then encourage Mexico to host some Russian military bases just near the US border.
Nathan, I have on more than one occasion attempted this argument with hard-shell Amerikaners, as well as mentioning the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis as an accurate reflection of what is going down in Ukraine.
My listeners are impervious. Well and truly brainwashed by the triumphant corporate media. “Putin fanboy” is as far as it got.
What kind of jolt will it take? One city going up in smoke, tit-for-tat as one Russian one is burnt? What was the British spy novel where Minsk was exchanged for Birmingham, to forestall a full-scale strategic exchange?
I remember Lawrence Ks being in one of those “revelation of the method” movies.
I suspect that most Americans under 60 know little of nothing about the Cuban Missile Crisis. They simply accept the mainstream media’s contention that the war in Ukraine is all Putin’s fault.
Yes, it’s a worry SpeedyBB. I’m not really trying to convince Amerikans, just setting out some options that seem obvious from this distance and lamenting the lack of clarity that seems to clog up everything in the west this century.
Just this evening, it took ages to get the car out of the park-n-ride at my local bus interchange. When I finally made it to the exit boom gate, one of only 2 exits was clogged with a guy just sitting in his car with the reversing lights on, backed up by a dozen cars just sitting behind him, with the drivers all staring at their smartphones! The guy couldn’t get his card to swipe, so they all sat there. Nobody thought to get out of their car and walk back to ask each driver to reverse and move into the working exit lane. No problem solving, no teamwork, no empathy left. I asked the guy if he had a valid swipe card, which he did, so I left. They may all still be there, swiping at their social media feeds while sucking in CO2…
People are pawns on the global chessboard.

Yippee, we have not heard the last of Brittney Griner yet! Mark your calendars!!!
On May 1 we will be treated to a special edition of “20/20″ with an exclusive interview where Griner will share her story for the first time and reflect on the hopelessness she experienced during her monthslong confinement. “Good Morning America” will have a first look earlier that day.
Griner announced exclusively to “GMA” on Feb. 6 that she is set to release a new memoir on May 7 titled, “Coming Home” – a book that will detail her harrowing incarceration in Russia and subsequent release.
“‘Coming Home’ begins in a land where my roots developed and is the diary of my heartaches and regrets,” Griner said in a statement. “But, ultimately, the book is also a story of how my family, my faith, and the support of millions who rallied for my rescue helped me endure a nightmare.”
So, Griner really seems to be milking this for all it’s worth. I am sure the WNBA does not pay all that well, so she must supplement her income somehow. Maybe her wife Cherelle Griner will have to take on a second job given Biden’s economy. Certainly, she should be thankful to the Russians for this windfall of publicity and monetary gain she will soon encounter.

What’s that dude’s real neme?
Jarek said, “Christ was great, but of a different people and culture. Accepting him came with a very heavy burden of universalism and being bound to the horrible culture He emerged from.”
I had no idea your lack of appreciation for our [ israelite ] heritage is so vast. A serious study of the “kinsman redeemer” as well as the process of dividing the Nation into two completely separate nations after the time of Rehoboam and Jeroboam, is recommended.
bible.org/seriespage/21-great-divorce-kingdom-divided-1-kings-12-2-chronicles-10
Following different Covenants creates different Cultures and thus different people.
Universalism = “whosoever will”. Real simple. It is not up to us to lock anyone out or set up ourselves as aTollbooth.
Most people don’t know or understand the difference between Khazars and Hebrews
@SSL,
In Yiddish, chazar means pig, in the sense of trying to get too much of something. I learned it as someone who overeats. The pronunciation is very close to Khazar, but with a guttural ‘ch’. I can always tell if someone is a non-Jew by them not pronouncing ‘ch’ with the gutteral, iow, them ‘saying ‘kh’. Yiddish is essentially middle German.
My point is that to me khazar is sort of an insult the way it’s used today – someone who isn’t a real Jew. AFAIC, a Jew is a Jew. What about a Chinese Jew or an African Jew? There are many, you know. Jews were kicked out of the holy land and settled all over the world. It’s called the Diaspora. They had to have interbred, but their still Jews and have Jewish blood.
The judaists preserved [ and modified ] their culture. The israelites lost theirs in Manessah [ forgetful ].
biblestudytools.com/dictionary/manasseh/
Your upbringing does not change history.
duckduckgo.com/?q=khazar+empire&t=h_&ia=web
they’re
The Khazars are not related to the Hebrews that lived in the Levant. The Khazars are a Turkic tribe that adopted Judaism and fully embraced the Babylonian Talmud. They are fully from the Asian steppe and that is why your government is funding a war in Ukraine. They want their empire back. On the downside for actual Hebrews .. the Khazars have completely colonized Israel.
How can that be repaired?
I usually start by pointing out who the NC was addressed to:
“Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,…”
“James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting…”
biblehub.com/greek/3927.htm
These are the put-away-in-punishment [ lost – appolumi ] who would appreciate some “good news”.
You don’t even think we have the right to defend ourselves. And half the time you’re identifying with the Indians. That’s why I asked if you were one.
Rehoboam/Jeroboam – Frick/Frack.
I liked the idea of the Israelite invasion of Europe. But realistically, Whites have been there for much longer than that.
The Germans managed to turn Christianity into a Warrior religion. Add to that Roman law and Greek philosophy, and the miracle of Western culture was made. All of this without damaging the New Testament spirituality at the higher level. You only want the higher level. It cannot be.
Where to start?
“Rehoboam/Jeroboam – Frick/Frack.“
“Unless one understands that Judah and Israel were two nations with >>>> different callings <<<< , one cannot understand the prophecies of Scripture very well. When the kingdom was split, the scepter remained in Judah, while the birthright was in Israel—specifically the tribe of Ephraim. Neither could make up for its loss. The Kingdom of God could not come in its fulness apart from the birthright being unified.”
The Garden is infinite and yet there apparently is someone or several someones who never have a place and are always under condemnation. test the spirits
Do you muscle test? New Age women always must test. Always? Always!
i haven’t really done that per se. Typically i meditate after i finish my daily exercise routine, and then after meditation i do a series of stretches for agility of course but also to find any trouble spots within my body or directly outside of my body or within my energy field/chakras.
You don’t? I’m glad.
You have only the Bible. I can take from everything including the Bible. My way of explaining things is more accurate and more accessible. Even when you make a good point, it’s incredibly convoluted and not accessible to people outside your Church. Even Christian Identity folks won’t get it because you guys are universalists.
“Christ was great, but of a different people and culture.”
“Accepting him came with a very heavy burden of universalism…”
“You don’t even think we have the right to defend ourselves”
“And half the time you’re identifying with the Indians.”
“You have only the Bible.”
Your ASSumptions obfuscate communication and you use them as shields.
“I liked the idea of the Israelite invasion of Europe. But realistically, Whites have been there for much longer than that.”
Yes, many left after Goshen, some even before that. And then there is Japheth’s people.”
“Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measures or numbered; and it shall come to pass that, in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people [ we are called gentiles ] there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God [ christians ].”
“All of this without damaging the New Testament spirituality at the higher level.”
So, the modifications of the German’s, Greek’s and Roman’s have allowed us a two-teir version of morality and [ sarcasm on ] we should be thankful for the state of society they produced for us.
“For I testify unto every man that hears the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”
Some say this only pertains to Revelations. I think it means all the Bible.
Exactly. All you have is the Bible. You use the Bible to justify and explain the Bible. If you really understood the Bible, you could use something else sometimes.
“He who knows only England, knows not England.”
Well, it depends on what you are after. I’m tired of these “convoluted” piles of dung [ mountains and hills in prophecy ] consisting of literally millions of man-made edicts and such, which “put-away” the Creators Law, and bind us under contracts to the Adversary [ through minions ].
The Bible is a record of good and evil, which we are told to “rightly divide”. Everything I have read, concerning these, is reflected there. The question is always – source? lol – who said it first?
I cannot conceive of anyone that could put together what I have found in the scriptures, not even a demiurge.
Anyone Else
I heard recently, thanks to an inspiration to look it up, that some people suspect that Jesus was an anarchist.
Makes sense in retrospect and, really, is there anything else one needs to know other than that?
IOW, the word of God is the cosmos and your own interpretation.
Bibles are just the middlemen trying to get in on the action.
Religious Mountebanks

“Bibles, clergy, priests, bishops, politicians, rabbis, imams, scriptures, CNN, etc., are just the middlemen/legacy-media/mountebanks trying to get in on the action and control people.”

“He who knows only England, knows not England.”
As English is to England, so is Math to the Kingdom [ creation ] of God.
blog.bjupress.com/blog/2022/01/18/god-and-math-is-math-part-of-gods-creation/
I’m glad you took that as an invitation.
“IOW, the word of God is the cosmos and your own interpretation.”
It speaks with a message of Awe, no matter who you are, or what it actually is.
In thinking briefly about that, frankly a bunch of dubious folks in robes and whatnot and questionable books and scripts and so forth seems to clownify the cosmos and strip away its awe.
But from an anthropological standpoint, they still seem to have merit.
Modern day Israel uses the Old Testament scripture as evidence for their claim to the land, while simultaneously being a secular state that doesn’t believe the spiritual truths of that same scripture. The hypocrites are still alive and well, as they were when Jesus walked amongst them.
” Jesus was an anarchist.”
Zaz,
Of Course.
He was the counter-man, and Moses ran the back office….
@elysianfield, outside of the box– your ‘office’ if you will– is the real boss– God, Mother Nature, Mr. Cosmos– call It what you will.
No other boss matters. No silly soldier or cop in a clown suit with a gun to uphold him either.
Any other boss that thinks otherwise will collapse societies over a rinse-and-repeat process until the thick skulls can get it right or until their ultimate demise, whichever comes first.
@Nathan: What you wrote seems to have a nice efficiency and crispness to it that I’m inclined to appreciate.
I read some comments above about the dynamics of debt and government spending and want to add my perspective.
One of the major reasons why a financial collapse has not yet happened is because of the way our present system of debt finance actually functions– to simultaneously delay, as well as increase, financial instability.
You can see that what is described immediately below is a mechanism with a built-in capacity for delaying a financial crisis (through the way fiat money can infinitely create and service debt) although that same process also leads to an upward inflationary bias that can, in turn, lead to ever greater financial instability.
What follows is directly from the ideas of the economist Steve Keen:
Our government has no limit to its capacity to create debt and service its debt as long as it issues debt in its own currency.
Our Central Bank, by law, can’t buy Bonds directly off the Treasury.
What happens is the U.S. Treasury issues bonds to cover the gap between what it expects its tax revenue to be and what it expects its expenditures to be.
As soon as this Treasury supply is approved by Congress, that money is regarded as being in the Treasury’s account. This amount can be spent as soon as the approval bill goes through Congress.
Then the Treasury sells these bonds and they are bought by the financial sector.
That then finances government spending.
As dissident right populists, we have an obligation to show how any preferred alternative financial system would deal with such built-in financial instabiity while preserving the wealth of its average citizens.
Isn’t it a shame that a fictional item serves as a stand in for abundance. Money is another extension of control.
Life Site News
Popular American conservative pundit Candace Owens announced on social media Monday that she is now an official member of the Catholic Church.
“Recently, I made the decision to go home. There is of course so much more that went into this decision and that I plan to share in the future. But for now, praise be to God for His gentle, but relentless guiding of my heart toward Truth,” Owens wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand,” she continued, quoting Isaiah 41: 10, before adding, “I do not fear. Christ is King.”
The photos accompanying her announcement were taken inside the Brompton Oratory in London, England, with Provost Fr. Julian Large.
The Confederation of Oratories of Saint Philip Neri, whose members are often referred to simply as “Oratorians,” is a Catholic society of priests, brothers and religious. They are known colloquially for their traditional leanings and their emphasis on reverent liturgical practices.
Owens, a mother-of-three, is married to Catholic Englishman George Farmer, who LifeSiteNews’ John-Henry Westen interviewed in 2022 about the former’s conversion to the faith.
The announcement, which follows shortly after her ouster from The Daily Wire over public disagreements with the outlet’s staunch Zionist position regarding the state of Israel, was met with an immediate congratulatory response by Catholics online, including LifeSite’s John-Henry Westen.
Jarek: Candace has attained unto Life. I will be with her for Eternity, enjoying the Beatific Vision, occasionally taking a break to talk about issues. I will preach to her about race, even though by then she will be as white as me. Lightsome as Brother Brigham used to say. In contrast, St Peter’s has turned black (literally) since the papacy of the the false pope, Bergoglio.

Due to the twice-weekly cadence of Jim’s blog, and the front-loaded nature of the comments section (with no twisties to hide replies), later comments to a specific blog often lie fallow for eternity.
Since this site means more to some of us as a community than just casual responses to Jim’s thoughts either side of any given weekend, I would like to suggest that anyone who wants to is welcome to post a long-form message laying out their key message/worldview for others to interact with.
Jarek, I am intrigued by what appears from here to be your particular mix of quasi-Christian / white supremacist / neospiritualism. Do you care to elaborate on how that all hangs together?
As a start, how do you consider there might be issues worth discussing in Eternity? (after the Last Day, when all sin and death and the curse resulting from sin has been vanquished)
I will be considering any response from the paradigm of a devout Reformed independent Baptist, in the tradition of the Spurgeon offshoot of more traditional Reformed theology as summarised in the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, living in South Australia on 50 acres in partial self-reliant mode with the wife of my youth and our six homeschooled children. Firearms and bullion are increasingly useful.
Maybe Jim, you could even arrange a special blog (that your webmaster could reference on your site index) that is a getting to know each other blog?

Our Christian or our secularized “Christian” culture (Liberalism and Conservatism) is killing the race that created it. Christ said, I came to give you life more abundantly. See the contradiction?
Did He mean Life or life? Spirit or the world? Shouldn’t Life encompass life in this world too? Did He not create it (and Whites!) and call it good? If we are not gnostics, why do we act like gnostics?
The Sufis (the mystics of Islam) say that Christ taught the way to the other world, but Mohammad taught the way to the other world and the way in this world as well. Alas, that makes more than a bit of sense.
OK, not a longform essay. Still cryptic soundbytes, Jarek. I agree that the West and particularly the US has moved in an anti-white direction over the past decades. But we do not need to be primarily defined by race. It is not “anti-white” for a man and a woman of different races who love each other to marry and have mixed-race children together. This is simply individual love for and commitment to another human being regardless of their race. Culture can transcend race, and true Christian belief and practice ALWAYS transcends race.
Why do you think the scriptures describe the grafting into Israel of Rahab the Canaanite gentile harlot, who gave birth to Boaz, who married Ruth the gentile Moabite (descended not via Abraham, but via Lot and his eldest daughter in a drunken incestuous coupling). Not just the grafting into Israel, but into the very lineage through which Jesus our Lord is descended from David in the tribe of Judah.
Why do you think the scriptures describe the conversion of the Ethiopean?
Why do you think nearly all of the Apostle Paul’s letters are to gentile churches, explaining that we have been made one people in Christ? Our identity should be first and foremost children of our Father God in heaven, every one of us made in His image, before we are men or women, old or young, white or black or yellow or brown or red.
Christianity was not created by white people, but by God, who created all people in His image. God created Adam, and from Adam created Eve. He commanded these two people (and their race is irrelevant as the first and only people) to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. We are all descended from Adam and Eve’s DNA. The present day understanding of race is purely adaptation within our genetic makeup, breeding if you will.
More recently than our shared descent from Adam and Eve, we are all descended from the 8 people God preserved on the ark. As humans multiplied after the flood, they were all of one language and one speech. They determined in their unity to build their own path to God. God scattered the people over the face of the earth and enforced different languages.
Noah’s three sons settled in different places and would have developed into different breeds of humanity over time, and there’s no doubt that Ham (the father of Canaan) was cursed for failing to honour his father (one of the future 10 commandments)
[Genesis 9:22, 24-27 NKJV] 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. … 24 So Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done to him. 25 Then he said: “Cursed [be] Canaan; A servant of servants He shall be to his brethren.” 26 And he said: “Blessed [be] the LORD, The God of Shem, And may Canaan be his servant. 27 May God enlarge Japheth, And may he dwell in the tents of Shem; And may Canaan be his servant.”
But even Canaan’s lineage was grafted back into that olive tree known as True Israel, aka the seed of the Woman, aka the Sheep aka the Wheat.
To wear your primary identity as that of “race” is totally missing the central thread of the entirety of scripture.
Abraham was blessed, and he knew that he was a pilgrim in this life. He forsook the well-watered pastures on the plains of Shinar (where Sodom and Gomorroh were located), but Lot was happy to life his best life now, rather than seeking the city that is to come, that is not built with earthly hands. So, Jarek, Life more abundantly doesn’t encompass any promises for abundance in this age.
Christ and His apostles absolutely taught the way in this world as well. Read the last half of Ephesians, Colossians, the last few chapters of Romans. They are focused on orthopraxy rather than orthodoxy.
Yes, Christianity applied as it really is – not the Germanic warrior faith that it became for a time – spells the end of our beautiful, amazing race, one of the finest works of God. Love others are you love yourself? How is that loving ourselves?
You think Blacks are our equals? Lol. There is no equality. He create not two things the same. Equality is at the level of the soul, not manifestation per se.
He said, I do not have time to teach you everything so I will send you a Comforter. Thus the Fathers came up with the doctrine of Just War – not to be found in the New Testament at all. Thus we are speaking English and not Arabic, Turkish, Mongolian, or Berber.
Or not! I could be wrong. Maybe that’s made up shit like the Quakers and the Amish believe. In which case we wouldn’t be White anymore by this point and there would be no Western culture.
You didn’t even consider that, did you? As if the Old Testament didn’t even exist. But if I said a la Marcion, Let’s get rid of the Old Testament, you would have leaped to its defense!
Of course there are the “sword sayings” of Jesus. Nobody knows what he believed about that. It is simply AMAZING how little we know about what Christ said. Those stalwarts, the 12, didn’t bother to tell us. Didn’t think it was important! We know what Mohammad thought about everything. His disciples thought that it was important to record that.
Nancy Pelosi has claimed that Putin issued orders to the Russian Army to rape Ukrainian women.
This is obviously a lie. No such order was issued.
And a Ukrainian propagandist who invented disgustingly perverted claims of mass rape back in 2022 was actually fired by the Ukrainians for lying.
.youtube.com/watch?v=rJrU8C4amvA
It does crack me up that Pelosi is channeling Jarek, who loves to claim that Stalin issued similar orders to the Red Army. Jarek, Goebbels, and Pelosi, together in lies.
So I looked it up, because I had read before that the actual truth is that Stalin issued an order to give the death penalty to any Red Army soldier who raped a woman.
Did some soldiers rape anyway? I can believe that. US soldiers aren’t supposed to rape either, but I have seen photos of them raping, both women, and little boys.
Anyway, if anyone cares about the truth, here is the actual order.
“Officers and men of the Red Army! We are entering the country of the enemy. The remaining population in the liberated areas, regardless of whether they’re German, Czech, or Polish, should not be subjected to violence. The perpetrators will be punished according to the laws of war. In the liberated territories, sexual relations with females are not allowed. Perpetrators of violence and rape will be shot.” – J.V. Stalin, Order of the Day, January 19, 1945.

A documentary is coming out about this. They’re going all out to slander the Russians – even if it means urinating on their own Leftist roots.
It’s a good thing. The Truth will out! And who spoke the Truth all along? We did. The White Nationalists. Conservatives turned away, not wanting to insult their allies and later out of shame for ever being allies with these monsters. Conservatives were chumps then and they’re chumps now.
An apparent problem with ‘the truth’ is that it can be found only inside one’s head and nowhere else.
Yes, Zazzy, but whose head, inside which one?
Get a can-opener and give me a hand.
If you have seen photos of them raping little boys, then you might actually be a felon.

‘The Russian soldiers raped every German female from eight to 80’
Antony Beevor, author of the acclaimed new book about the fall of Berlin, on a massive war crime committed by the victorious Red Army

“Red Army soldiers don’t believe in ‘individual liaisons’ with German women,” wrote the playwright Zakhar Agranenko in his diary when serving as an officer of marine infantry in East Prussia. “Nine, ten, twelve men at a time – they rape them on a collective basis.”
The Soviet armies advancing into East Prussia in January 1945, in huge, long columns, were an extraordinary mixture of modern and medieval: tank troops in padded black helmets, Cossack cavalrymen on shaggy mounts with loot strapped to the saddle, lend-lease Studebakers and Dodges towing light field guns, and then a second echelon in horse-drawn carts. The variety of character among the soldiers was almost as great as that of their military equipment. There were freebooters who drank and raped quite shamelessly, and there were idealistic, austere communists and members of the intelligentsia appalled by such behaviour.
Beria and Stalin, back in Moscow, knew perfectly well what was going on from a number of detailed reports. One stated that “many Germans declare that all German women in East Prussia who stayed behind were raped by Red Army soldiers”. Numerous examples of gang rape were given – “girls under 18 and old women included”.
Marshal Rokossovsky issued order No 006 in an attempt to direct “the feelings of hatred at fighting the enemy on the battlefield.” It appears to have had little effect. There were also a few arbitrary attempts to exert authority. The commander of one rifle division is said to have “personally shot a lieutenant who was lining up a group of his men before a German woman spreadeagled on the ground”. But either officers were involved themselves, or the lack of discipline made it too dangerous to restore order over drunken soldiers armed with submachine guns.
Calls to avenge the Motherland, violated by the Wehrmacht’s invasion, had given the idea that almost any cruelty would be allowed. Even many young women soldiers and medical staff in the Red Army did not appear to disapprove. “Our soldiers’ behaviour towards Germans, particularly German women, is absolutely correct!” said a 21-year-old from Agranenko’s reconnaissance detachment. A number seemed to find it amusing. Several German women recorded how Soviet servicewomen watched and laughed when they were raped. But some women were deeply shaken by what they witnessed in Germany. Natalya Gesse, a close friend of the scientist Andrei Sakharov, had observed the Red Army in action in 1945 as a Soviet war correspondent. “The Russian soldiers were raping every German female from eight to eighty,” she recounted later. “It was an army of rapists.”
Suicide Cliff is a cliff above Marpi Point Field near the northern tip of Saipan, Northern Mariana Islands, which achieved historic significance late in World War II.
Also known as Laderan Banadero, it is a location where Japanese civilians and Imperial Japanese Army soldiers took their own lives by jumping to their deaths in July 1944 in order to avoid capture by the United States. WIKI
7000
Suicide Cliff…Okinawa also. I toured the site in 1957.
There were other places too, I think. As the American fleet approached the defeated Japan, they filmed women jumping off cliffs to avoid being raped by the American soldiers.
As it turned out, the Japanese were amazed at how well they were treated. Far better than they had treated the Chinese and the Koreans. Far better than we treated our brothers, the Germans.
Eight to eighty was a direct Goebbels invention, still being quoted all these decades later, by Nazis and their adherents.
That is a lie, Jarek. Just because it is repeated multiple times doesn’t make it true, no matter what Goebbels and George W. Bush say.
It means gullible people believe the lie, that part is true. But the lie itself is not true.
Wiki
In Soviet literature
Initially, East German and Soviet propaganda suggested that most of the rapes were being conducted by Germans disguised as Soviet soldiers, including Werwolf battalions.[66] Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn took part in the invasion of Germany and wrote a poem about it, “Prussian Nights”. Parts of the poem read, “Twenty-two Hoeringstrasse. It’s not been burned, just looted, rifled. A moaning by the walls, half muffled: the mother’s wounded, half alive. The little daughter’s on the mattress, dead. How many have been on it? A platoon, a company perhaps? A girl’s been turned into a woman, a woman turned into a corpse…. The mother begs, ‘Soldier, kill me!'”[67] Records of sexual violence were found in works of other Soviet authors, mostly in the form of war memoirs mentioning particular incidents witnessed by the authors, such as Lev Kopelev, Vladimir Gelfand, Mikhail Koryakov, Eugenii Plimak, David Samoilow, Boris Slutskii, Nikolay Nikulin, Grigorii Pomerants, Leonid Ryabichev and Vassily Grossman. Vera Dubina and Oleg Budnitskii were among those few historians who investigated the subject more systematically.[68]
Jarek: Ah, Solzhenitsyn saw much and perhaps had much to repent of. The raped women would beg to be killed and the Russian troops would indignantly reply, We don’t kill women. We aren’t Nazis.
One is reminded of our Communist media claiming that the early BLM rioters were White Nationalists wearing Negro masks….
You know damn well that Solzhenitsyn is a liar. It pays well to be a “dissident” of a targeted country in the US.
Putin likes him. Every one likes and believes himself except Stalinists and Trotskyites like you.
Not true. Westerners like him, not “every one”.
And Putin is known to have sided with the westerners for decades, until he realized that they were not his friends.
So you are claiming that all of these authors were witnesses to war crimes, knowing that they were banned by order, and they kept their mouths shut until they could write their memoirs, instead of telling the authorities?
That means that Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn,Lev Kopelev, Vladimir Gelfand, Mikhail Koryakov, Eugenii Plimak, David Samoilow, Boris Slutskii, Nikolay Nikulin, Grigorii Pomerants, Leonid Ryabichev and Vassily Grossman, were all complicit in war crimes.
No wonder you exalt them.
German women rape during WW2
During World War II, particularly in the final months of the war, a significant number of German women were subjected to rape by soldiers from the Allied forces, primarily the Soviet Red Army. This mass rape of German women is considered one of the largest incidents of mass rape in history. The majority of the assaults occurred in the Soviet occupation zone, with estimates of the numbers of German women raped by Soviet soldiers ranging up to 2 million. In many cases, women were the victims of repeated rapes, some as many as 60 to 70 times. This tragic event has been a subject of historical studies, books, and documentaries, but it remains a sensitive and often overlooked aspect of World War II history.
Jarek: Brother AI chimes in. Thanks, bro.
One Mongol rapist said, War good here. He would probably also say, Paula wrong.
Some of the first Russians to reach Germany, aristocratic Nordic types, warned the German people of the monsters coming in behind them.
In any case, the Russian people must acknowledge what they did. Putin has acknowledged some of the evils of the old Soviet Union but he has more work to do.
And the West must bow its head too for supporting this vast evil.
It was a terrible thing, Jarek. Nobody is doubting it happened but what can be done about it now? One has to admit, in the war on the eastern front, there were plenty of atrocities to go around. Do you understand what I’m saying to you Jarek. Both sides committed terrible deeds.
It humbles the Communist assholes. The ideologues. The Paulas. And the Capitalist assholes who funded them, supported them, and fought beside them.
That’s pretty useful since we haven’t learned anything and are still doing much the same things in Gaza and Ukraine.
Jarek I doubt very much if there is mass rape going on in Ukraine or in Gaza. The only rape we’ve heard about is some of the Israeli girls kidnapped by Hamas on Oct. 7were gang raped before they were beheaded or shot. There is actually video of it.
I told you about the film ‘A Woman in Berlin’ many months ago.
When I told you about the over-600 villages in Belarus that were burned down by Nazi scum, with the villagers locked inside the burning barns and churches, you said it must be an exaggeration by the Russians. Then you said I should be grateful for men who were willing to do things like that. Shameless as usual.
Some of the raped German women were murdered by their own husband for the crime of letting themselves be raped.
GA a film was made about events in Belarus, the Derlwabger Brigade etc; it was called ‘Come and See’. I think we might have discussed it before.
Yes, I have the film, brh. They give the number of burned villages at the end of the film. I think it is 638 or something like that.
Alba thinks Stalinist crimes are fine. Only Nazi crimes are bad.
The Russians tried to pin the Katyn forest massacre on the Nazis but it was them.
The most compelling thing I have read about the atrocities of Eastern Europe is ‘Babi Yar’. It was the site of a camp on the northern outskirts of Kyiv. The description by a childhood survivor is grueling.
Please point to where I said Stalinist crimes are fine, you lying toad.
That’s got to be the most immoral, bad-faith deflection I’ve seen on this board.
I repeat, you said I should be grateful that there are men willing to burn people, including children, alive.
If it were your habit to try to whitewash Stalin’s USSR (and beyond, because it wasn’t just him) the way you constantly try to whitewash Hitler’s Germany, that would be what I’d concentrate on. But you don’t. You just keep telling us how good the Nazis were.
We’re talking about Russian war crimes and you try to change the subject to Nazi war crimes? Why?
You’re the one with bad faith.
You’re still doing it. You won’t stop. ‘We’ are talking about whatever crimes come into the conversation. Perhaps I could remind you that you’re the one who gets peeved when people tell you to stick to the subject. Just the other day, you used my mention of Enoch Burke as a cue to bring up Enoch Powell, which was nothing to do with the conversation in hand..
One law for you and one for everyone else. Typical bad faith crap.
The only reason there aren’t so many documented rapes committed by the Nazis (and there certainly are plenty) is that the Nazis preferred just to go straight to killing women and children, preferably by methods like the ones described, because they were evil psychos.
I read Solzhenitsyn probably before you were born. I know plenty about Soviet crimes. And I have a copy of Crimes and Mercies, so I know about the Allies’ crimes after the war too.
But I’m not going to let you get away with whitewashing the Nazis. Ever.
” because they were evil psychos.”
Et Tu Alba?
You should know that they were ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances…like the Russians, the Ukrainians, the Poles, The Amis, Bomber Harris, et al.
Someones said anent the Ukies: Even the German Nazis considered them extreme. thus the normal run of Nazis weren’t as bad. Logic! Dummy wants to pack all of reality into her stupid documentary.
Psychologically rigid people like Alba are gold to any Regime. They always argue for the status quo. Thus they are deeply conservative in the existential sense, even if living in Pol Pot’s Cambodia.
And as per the vast majority of women in general: She doesn’t get that all that she has was the result of Men of the Race, Nation, and Culture triumphing over others. If things had turned out differently, maybe she would have been the among the ones being raped to death by Mongolians and Central Asian Muslims.
As it stands, English girls are still being groomed by Muslim rape gangs. But since the regime isn’t really against it, she’s not either, though she’ll say it’s “bad”. If pressed, she’ll exclaim, It’s not happening around here – thus revealing her utter fatuity.
“You should know that they were ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances…”
Of course. Ordinary people under stress will lock old men, women and children in a barn and set it on fire.
Perhaps you were being sarcastic. I hope so.
And I don’t excuse Bomber Harris either.
More lies from the liar-in-chief. Lashing out because he defended the indefensible and can’t walk it back.
Go, catch some insects, toad.
I don’t suppose you’re even interested in the paedophile rings all over the UK run by our ‘betters’, because they’re not Asian. Rigid, he says – what an effing joke.
BTW, EF, the only moral thing to do if you’re ordered to burn people in a barn is to say NO. And if they say they’ll shoot you if you don’t do it, you still say NO. Fuck the circumstances. You’re probably going to die anyway, so do it decently and with honour.
Alba,
No, I am dead serious. Regarding humans who sacrifice their lives for disobeying an order…Well, let us just say that there are few generally accepted examples in human history where that level of self destruction is evident…myths, fairy tales, propaganda….
Few humans can muster that particular pathology.
Sad, but true.
EF: Outside of fairy tales and propaganda, it seems it could be done without getting killed, but the consequences could be brutal.

You’re correct that brave people of that kind are few, but they are not non-existent. And there are probably more than have been verified.
“The mythology of Red Army mass rapes in Berlin (and elsewhere throughout Germany) was slow to development in the post-WWII anti-Soviet climate.
Even in 1945, as the Soviets and US collaborated to secure and rebuild a defeated Germany, Western generated rumours were being spread of the Red Army committing between 20,000 and 150,000 rapes throughout Germany (not just Berlin). As there was no documented evidence surrounding these rumours, no mainstream historian took them seriously (although the Western far-right ideologues continued to espouse Goebbels’ ahistorical ramblings).
This changed with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. In 1992, two (bourgeois) German feminists – named , Helke Zander and Barbara Yor – published a book entitled ‘Liberators and Liberated’, within which they ahistorically stated that the Red Army had committed 2 million rapes throughout Germany during the closing months of WWII. This was a dramatic reworking of Goebbels’ main anti-Soviet idea, and a massive increase in supposed ‘victims’, but a logical assumption of how these ‘authors’ arrived at this number reveals the fallacy of their argument.
This incorrect number was arrived at using the following flawed methodology. Zander and Yor focused on a single Berlin Hospital for the years 1945-1946, and assessed the births that occurred there. For both years it was reported that around 500 babies were born respectively, with 15-20 fathers being recorded as ‘Russian’. In two or three cases it was reported that the pregnancy was caused by rape.
These two ‘authors’ then ignored the fact that the vast majority of pregnancies were consensual, and assumed that ALL were the product of rape.
They then presented Goebbels’ Nazi German propaganda of the Red Army raping all German women between the ages of 8-80 years, and concocted the arbitrary figure of ‘2 million’ as an ‘estimate’ of supposed rapes committed throughout the Soviet occupied areas of Germany. (These two ‘authors’, incidentally, remain ‘silent’ about the well documented rapes carried-out in Germany by US and British troops).
However, even after this highly unreliable book was published, the idea of ‘2 million’ rapes did not gain much traction until the British historian Anthony Beevor published his ‘Fall of Berlin’ in 2002, within which he repeats without question the research of Zander and Yor, and perpetuates the anti-Soviet rhetoric of Goebbels’ Nazi German propaganda. This is the history behind how the Red Army was misrepresented by Nazi Germany and modern German and British revisionist ‘historians’ sympathetic to the political rightwing.”
I have noticed that some people are very resistant to the propaganda of today.
I assume it’s because the internet allows for instant debunking.
But some of the same people have internalized the propaganda they were fed pre-internet, never stopping to think
“If they are lying to me now, maybe they have lied before. If they can stand up there and spout total bullshit, and expect everyone to believe it, and millions of people do, maybe this is something they’ve been doing for a while.”
I watched a speech by Timothy Snider, in which he lies about current Russia and Ukraine for over an hour.
I think anyone paying attention can easily see the lies he is telling.
But let Timothy Snider talk about Russia and Ukraine of the 20th century, and all of a sudden, he’s speaking the Lord’s Truth.
Yeah….no.

“I have noticed that some people are very resistant to the propaganda of today.I assume it’s because the internet allows for instant debunking.”
Paula,
No. The internets provide for a different narrative…a different, new and improved propaganda.
Believe nothing you see, hear, or read on the internets.
I don’t believe anything my ruling overlords tell me. Anything. I haven’t for a long time.
That seems to upset people who internalize one piece of propaganda and decide that it must be true, because they believe it.
This is why women cannot be allowed to vote. If they don’t like a fact or group of facts, they just delete it from reality and their memory. Paula doesn’t like the fact of Stalin being a mass murderer so she pretends he isn’t – and believes it too.
Women don’t like the idea of men knowing that a huge number of women got their home thru divorce-rape so they delete it from reality. Society likes this transfer of wealth and likes the way women vote, so they pander to them in this and in most things. I’m not picking on Paula. Women are almost all like this.
Jarek – were you this stupid before your wife began dosing you with hormones? Or did you just lose the ability to read the excrement that oozes from your keyboard?

However, you got that gasohol clearcut, on the other hand (Asphalt Concrete Suburbia Sprawl Strip Mall *DESERT* wasteland …) Gotta luv the green lawn – incessant water/fertilize with mined mats/herbicide w/ roundup(glyphosate)/gasohol mow.
Yessir Zyp, you got me pegged.
But it’s more Connecticut Rural/Suburban here, plenty of oaks, maples and tall pines.
I use a gas mower here in Germany.
I have purposefully kept it, as I live in an area with a lot of Green Party folk.
I also spend lots of time gardening, so I have done well to confuse them.
They want to like me, but you know …
😀
What do you think of NGINX?
Do you give them (neighbors) messages?!? Hehe!!! The end is NIGH! Whoa, slow down!
I have allotted myself 2 gallons of gasohol per year, for mowing/tilling. I try not to till, it’s just a bad idea, period. Perennials, permaculture – tripptix! Annuals are always a major problemo!
Bocking 14 Comfrey – the GHAD damned best compost ever devised. I hear the roots reach down 5+ feet, and extract phosphorus…
I planted some comfrey in the shade, where it struggled for years, so I moved it to the sun 2 years ago.
Damn! It is flourishing and flowering now.
d00d don’t rototill it – or maybe, rototill it!!! Just mow it every month or so, best compost evah… The hummers rLy love those purple flowers – I never had NE luck w/ hummers and sugar-water feeders – they just come to my yard and click(click!) – heh!
Billionaires are not killing everyone – rather, they are ensuring available, exploitable, extractable resources right there, for the picking. Why do you think they want the population to go even higher than the 8.5/9 billion we’re at now? (rhetorical, fo sho – no mo abortion!)
American Culture? Fast food grubbin’, cell phone junkin’, gas guzzlin’ (oops, the nightlife bar hookups/marriages/spawn). That is rLy the extent of it – entitled, self-righteous narcissists in pursuit of the 7 deadly sins (Gluttony/Sloth really the worst of it, but Envy/Pride/Wrath seems to rule their hate/anger/rage/fear daytimes). That’s exactly what you get in a Capitalist Commercial Consumer Media Economy – Mil Ind Complex! No Bid Cost Plus! IMF funding usury rates for infrastructure rebuild!
Exponential consumption per capita that is 3 orders of magnitude higher than back in the 1920’s/40’s, when there were only 2 billion people. And now we are literally beyond PEAK EVERYTHING. I still can’t believe we’ve used over half of the available Helium on this planet (INERT). I guess we could capture alpha particles? Oh, wait – Hydrogen cold fusion!!!
I believe I’ve heard something like the last 7 of 10 years (moarz?) were the hottest years ever recorded. And apparently, last year they can’t even explain why it was so much hotter (Aerosol Masking/Atmospheric Thinning?). Trust-you-me – this year won’t disappoint!
“I believe I’ve heard something like the last 7 of 10 years (moarz?) were the hottest years ever recorded”
Recorded by who? Big deal. The records only go back a blip in time. Human hubris is crazy thinking. We as a species are just the briefest moment in the history.
Recorded where is the better question.
My guess is on blacktops in the middle of cities.
Get out in the countries a far different tale of the tape.
2-3, maybe 5 years. That’s the extent.
Not when….WHERE!
One of the tricks revealed was they liked to put recording devices near blacktop parking lots where temps can exceed normal values by very wide margins.
E-mails recovered from East Anglia University showed all the climate scams, data mining errors and computer modeling with inserted fake values.
Looking up these details now will show this has been almost thoroughly scrubbed and sanitized but if you look around there are still some sites that show the climate scam for what it is.
Two weeks ago I was in northern Vermont. Only 150 miles north of western MA. 3 miles from the CA. border. The lake was still frozen and there was a foot of snow on the ground. Same as it ever was.
Ayup, def – global warming ‘debunked’, just liek dat. I know it’s not getting warmer here, where I live (century/millennia records broken, over and over for 3+ years) I remember summers 30+ years ago *HERE*, barely 2 weeks of sunshine and 70’+, heh! Now, we have months of 80’+ and NO RAIN. Get to the choppah? Vancouver Island!
“The lake was still frozen”
Throwing snowballs in congress – the ultimate *SMOKE AND MIRRORS* display (bread and circuses/divide and conquer).
As YOU ALL turn the last of the virgin ecosystems into (Amazon rainforest) slash and burn cattle grazing for FAST FOOD burgers, do you even think, NE – moarz. 5-7 years B4 concretion and depletion/river silting…
What the flying fuck are you talkin’ ’bout , Willis?
No one talks about deforestation any more, Zry. No one talks about the oceans depleted of fish, or drained aquifers, or depleted topsoil, or polluted water supplies, or the 6th great mass extinction.
It’s all Climate Change, all the time.
A triumph of propaganda, once again.
“No one talks about the oceans”
Ain’t that the truth. Plastic islands, pulverized by waves and cooked by solar irradiation. But hey, it’s only 0.27% of the total oil consumption!!! So that’s *GUD* .
Tonight the Pink Moon will rise. When he hurts you pink moonstone will comfort you and repair the damage to your aura.
For centuries, people have wondered whether the menstrual cycle was linked to the phases of the moon.
It’s easy to see where the idea came from. For starters, the average menstrual cycle lasts for about 29 days, the same as the lunar cycle.
My oldest daughter, who GOT AWAY for over 20 years, has a Grandmother, a mother and an aunt who all took their own lives. I hope the CYCLE has ended.
Sorry to hear that Jim E. That’s kind of depressing.
Some months and seasons bring out different gender identities (I heard).
What about when she hurts me?
Would you rather have a pink moonstone or a pink Cadillac?
Well there are several stones/crystals that have masculine energies and can help you with aura repair and energy healing. Bloodstone, tiger’s eye, tourmaline, hematite, pyrite, obsidian and labradorite are all very male in their energies. I use them for protection and grounding as well as when I need a bit of courage. If you were to use them their properties would be magnified that much more so you may wish to consider that. Are you could just come downstairs to the store and i can help you shop. Or i can come upstairs to your place if that is easier for you.
Lol both wouldn’t be so bad actually ;0)
Finally, the Age of Aquarius!
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind’s true liberation.
You brought it in and grounded it. It will spread from your little town near Red Stick, engulfing the whole planet. I’m going to buy you a Pink Cadillac.
Yay!!
Haha FULL MOON MADNESS!!!
“Hundreds of bodies of civilian men, women, and children are being exhumed in Gaza.
All were shot by the Israeli military.
Many had their hands tied behind their back.
Direct evidence of a war crime.
And yet America is getting ready to send billions in military aid.
We are complicit in this criminal enterprise we call Israel.”
Vid in link.
https://twitter.com/RealScottRitter/status/1782475391820538085
Not genocide?
Ok.
I have fully and vociferously opposed for more aid to Ukraine and/or Israel. Obviously i have no political power or representation so my opinion doesn’t count. However, in looking at the links the evidence is just not that great. Maybe inconclusive. The political Left is running this like they run everything. Ultimately this will not be about what happened in Gaza. This will be another angle the political Left uses to implement its rolling soft genocide of Western populations which is about to get very unsoft now that they’ve been able to get millions of street muscle across the border in both America and Europe. The clue is that the main surfacing is that Israel is a colonizer. You are a colonizer too.
the main theme surfacing..
I look forward to bathing in the blood of the decolonizers.
Nicht durch Reden und Majoritatsbeschlusse werden die grossen Fragen der Zeit entschieden… sondern durch Eisen und Blut.
MUST … HAVE … MOARZ … WAR. Mil Ind Complex. $$$BIG BUX$$$
Yeah I believe those jews call your *SH!* anti-semitism. How dare you question their open air prison cell!!!
Always remember that the US, Israel, and Iran totally coordinated the tit for tat attacks between Israel and Iran
As some of you have pointed out: I don’t give Israel much credit … but credit where credit is due:
Israel’s measured (wimpy?) response to Iran’s 300+ drone/missile attack was well-done. They saved face without causing escalation.
Kudos as well to Iran for its restraint in allowing this tit-for-tat to peter out.
***
That was tense!
Reuters reported that Iran’s attack cost 80-100 million dollars. Israel and the USA spent 1.5 billion dollars to counter the attack. Thanks Uncle Sam. Sounds like a losing proposition to me. No wonder Raytheon is running 24/7 in CT. building the weapons of war. War is very good for business. Jobs, jobs, jobs!!
What weapons does Raytheon produce in CT?
I don’t know Paula. BRH posted that Raytheon was running non-stop in Newport, so probably my mistake. Perhaps RI?
Well after a quick look around I see Raytheon is no longer. Now it’s RTX Corp.
In July 2023, Raytheon Technologies Corporation changed its name to RTX Corporation
In 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, major arms manufacturers, including Raytheon Technologies, reported a sharp increase in interim sales and profits
Wow, I never imagined.
It’s hard to keep up with the global merchants of death.
I was just wondering, because the US has said it’s out of weapons to send to Ukraine, but they keep on shelling anyway.
They’ve killed 201 civilians in Russia proper, this year alone. Clearly, they’re not out of ammo.
“According to Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik, from January 1 to March 31, 2024, 201 civilians died from attacks by Ukrainian nationalists on the territory of the Russian Federation.
721 more civilians were wounded. Thus, in three months, a total of 922 civilians in Russian regions suffered from the actions of Ukrainian nationalists.
Ukrainian militants are responsible for the deaths of 11 children. The youngest of the victims was only four months old. In total, 59 children suffered from Ukrainian attacks during this period.
According to the representative office of the Donetsk People’s Republic in the JCCC, the Armed Forces of Ukraine killed 99 civilians in the DPR in the first quarter of 2024.
The Russian diplomat summed up that in total, the AFU fired at least 22 thousand rounds of ammunition at civilian targets in Russia in the first quarter of this year alone. On average, this is almost 250 rounds per day or ten per hour, the diplomat added.
Unable to contain the offensive of the Russian army, the Kiev regime increased terror against Russian civilians. In recent months, both the number of attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation and the range of strikes have increased.”
Gee whiz, Paula D! How unfair and unsporting those devilish Ukies are being in this war! Wars aren’t supposed to be like that! Those ‘militant’ Ukies should just down their arms and roll over, for a good Putinesque seeing-to…right?
I guess you believe everything you read from Pravda, do you? The amount of disinformation and partisanship in this article is mind-boggling…for example, “militant Ukrainians” is such a loaded expression. “Russian citizens”…is this referring to citizens living in Russia or Ukrainians that live in areas that have been invaded and annexed? Where’s the critical thinking when you’re confronted with Putin talking points?
Sorry, Grace, but killing civilians is a war crime. You probably don’t know that, being a flag-waving Democrat, and all.
It is very clear to anyone who can read that they are talking about pre-war Russia, not the newly created people’s republics that have joined the federation since 2022.
Grace said upthread that Babi Yar horrified her, but supports the Banderists that glorify the Nazi thugs who actually carried out that atrocity (as well as others).
Double Think on display.
“Although Israeli officials have given no details, according to calculations by a number of analysts, the price of Iran’s attack probably amounted to $80 million to $100 million – but cost Israel and its allies around $1 billion to repel.”
I’ve taken the liberty of adding 50% for BS and cost overruns.
I suspect you have a false idea of the relative values of these two elements – If the $1.5 billion hadn’t been spent, would you care to estimate the cost/value of the damage the low-rent attack could have caused?
I suspect that you do not clearly see the true significance of this inequity. That is, if Iran were to ever seriously attack Israel, they’d easily overwhelm them until their “low-rent attack” does cause serious damage. At best, it’d be no more than an unsustainable war of attrition.
Iran’s recent “low-rent attack” displayed that the West’s defence systems are multi-billion dollar MIC boondoggles that do not stand up in modern warfare.
How did these ‘boondoggles’ not stand up?
Iran proved, beyond shadow of doubt, that they can easily overwhelm Israel’s multi-billion dollar missile defence with cheap drones and then precisely deliver unintercepted ballistics missiles wherever they like.
Israel found out that they, after billions of US tax dollars, is FUBAR against a simple, small Iranian coordinated attack.
Israel now knows what Iran always knew. Total game-changer.
***
Plus, even it that were not the sad truth, Iran could easily destroy Israel by attrition. Israel can’t spend > $1B/day for very long while Iran could easily spend $80mm/day for years.
Keep in mind: Iran was not trying to damage Israel. Iran did not fail as Iran intentionally killed no one. Instead, they delivered the news of the reality that Israel is FUBAR if they ever get their long-coveted war with Iran.
The news was the message and the message was deterrence.
OG: “Keep in mind: Iran was not trying to damage Israel. Iran did not fail as Iran intentionally killed no one. Instead, they delivered the news of the reality that Israel is FUBAR if they ever get their long-coveted war with Iran.
The news was the message and the message was deterrence.”
Pithy summary, OG. As Dmirty Orlov often reminds people, Russia, China and Iran are strengthening their ties. While Russia slowly bleeds the US military ordinance down, nobody has yet seen what Russia is actually capable of in a dedicated hypersonic missile campaign targeting Western munitions factories and power plants. Russia are not using their primary offensive weapons in the Ukraine “Special Military Operation”. If Russia has them, so will Iran and China. Russia’s chief goal seems to be to usher in the new multipolar world slowly so as not to set off the crazy US guy in the padded cell too much until the straitjacket is firmly on.

Kunstler, you write like a leftover Bolshevik. You are a true Russki.
Come on man, get out of the closet. Pay your homage to Uncle Vlad, take the money the Kremlin pays American journos to write for the empire. Or, maybe you are way ahead of me.
The Kremlin’s very generous. Take the money, wave the red, blue and white.
By the way, Yanukovich’s election was as legit as Uncle Joe Biden’s. Ask Paul Manaforte. He was on the Kremlin payroll to get Yanu in power. But you know that. You also know that Yanukovich spent his entire time raiding and shaking down Ukrainians for their businesses, their savings, turned Sevastopol over to Putin for 25 years, siphoned state treasury money off to his dentist kid who squirreled it away in different countries…all under the direction of Putin’s mafia.
I was there Bud, watched it happening all around Ukraine. Yanu is a thief just like Putin. He was not legitimately elected. Don’t spread BS like this to feed your subscriptions revenue. Be honest.
This moneymaking scheme in Podcasts, Substack, Websites isn’t necessarily good journalism because it’s fed by readers and listeners who pay to hear what they want hear. Up at the top you have Leninist Steve Bannon feeding CFP, then the rest of the network with paying subscribers. Even Tucker Carlson is leaving his ethics behind for money.
It’s gonna kick you guys right in the ass, because you are becoming a less organized version of the Leftists. None of this bullshit is good for the country.
Wise the fuck up, Saratogan.
The term “useful idiots” immediately springs to mind, right?
And just look at the Congress – Margery Moscow Greene being the most egregious example.
Still, these people continue to be elected. We shall see quite soon, though. Either Putin et al win with a GOP sweep in November or lose, if the Democrats (which is the only other option to tyranny & craziness) manage to keep the nut cases out of the asylum’s management.
U sounding too sane!!! Me myself/I – yeah – Russian/Polish (RUSKI?)
Falling for Vlad’s Fascism? Doubtful…
“Come on man, get out of the closet. Pay your homage to Uncle Vlad, take the money the Kremlin pays American journos to write for the empire”
I found a weird trick on how to make 12 million…no BILLION rubles while working part time at home. My BFF Stolychana last week made enough, working just part time, to buy three goats…AND a Kalashnikov!
Ask me how…Call BR 549….
banh was there, or so he says.
He? Or she? Is that you, Victoria?
It’s ironic that the United States, under a Democrat President, is now undertaking the world role last occupied by crazed Adolf Hitler as a totalitarian Fascist/Socialist determined to destroy the successor to the Soviet Union–today’s Russia. The U.S. stands as country now more Socialist in many respects than that former bastion of Communist/Socialism, Russia.
One has to understand the basic distinction between Communist/Socialism and Fascist/Socialism: unlike Communist/Socialism, Fascist/Socialism allows private corporatists to exist and often wildly prosper so long as the corporatists pledge their total allegiance to the regime. Under the Fascist/Socialist Nazi regime, dozens of powerful corporatists got very wealthy producing the war materiel needed by the Reich. They were well-rewarded for their unwavering support for a murderous, dictatorial regime. Think about that as the next $60 billion of “aid” to the already defeated Fascist/Socialist Ukraine regime gets laundered back into American corporatists who will dutifully support the Democrat Socialist regime determined to turn the U.S. into a dictatorship.
The key thing that Americans MUST wake up to and understand is that Socialism is an inherently evil, anti-freedom, genocidal ideology, whether it is Fascist/Socialist or Communist/Socialist ideology.
You missed something from the 20th century. The bad boys all had their asses kicked SO BAD that they became good little boys and really nice allies.
Germany and Japan stand out…
Russia? Cave culture. These Neanderthals need their balls cut off and fed to the dogs. You should read some of the truths coming from citizens in former Soviet slave states. They are not pretty. Russia is not and has never been a good neighbor. Why is Russia so damned big, have you ever wondered? The Mongols, the Ottomans, the Russkis, all but one still exists and wreaks havoc by various means to take other peoples’ SHIT.
Without all the thievery and land grabs by the Russians, they would still be on horseback…and falling off dead drunk.
WHY do you think Ukraine is so precious? Without Ukrainians, the USSR might have been…um.. well..nothing.
It’s Russia’s turn to be gelded and chipped so we can keep track of them.
lol if any Country that needs its ass kicked and severely so, it’s America for all the crimes it has committed against other nations. You sound arrogant as fuck writing all that shit.
“The Bad boys had all their asses kicked” Obviously they didn’t because America is still around. A nation guilty of bombing and causing strife everywhere it has a military base stationed in which most people do not want, but the U.S. forces itself onto other nations and does whatever it wants. It’s called being a bully.
America is a nation who has for decades fucked over and destroyed practically EVERY nation on this goddamn planet that allowed them to while pretending to be all so self righteous. But don’t you worry Banh, America will get it’s turn next. Just wait until it fully collapse, and with all these war age men in the country, a class of leftist that already hate their own country.
And last time I checked you got your ass kicked by the Vietnamese and like most people have said here, you barely won any actual wars. One thing I hate is an arrogant American person who talks out the ass like this country is self righteous when it’s become a dictator nation itself and is responsible for a lot of problems on a global scale.
What’s even worse is how the country believes that it has the right to impose it’s beliefs on other nations. Japan was doing just fine, then you send some leftist cuck down (read the article Our Man In Tokyo) there and what does he do? He forces gay marriage on the Japanese despite they said they didn’t agree with it, but they ended up caving and allowing it anyway. Same shit with Black Lives Matter marching in Tokyo in 2020, why the hell were they even down there? Because the Japanese is too afraid to stand up to you.
When you assholes defeat other nations not only do you force your current entire shit belief system on other countries, you get it in your heads to bully them while also taking a crap on their entire culture at the same time. Nobody in Japan brags about what they did during Pearl Harbor.
But there are tons of Americans who gloat and brag about dropping nuclear bombs on the Japanese people on practically every fucking war video on youtube that talks about it. I’m beginning to understand now why angry Muslims chant “DEATH TO AMERICA” so much, what if they came over to our country first before we invaded theirs and started destroying everything, we would be screeching “DEATH TO THE MIDDLE EAST!”.
I’m surprise the Japanese never say it consider how much disrespect American people give them, and how they try to force their garbage woke ideology on them with no regard or respect for traditions of other nations.
Some Asian countries can’t even stand you. Obama went to the Philippines, and what does he do? He criticizes Daurte for his drug punishment methods and get told to go fuck himself to his face and called a hypocrite because that’s exactly what Obama is, a hypocrite. Just like America is a hypocrite. This country have a huge list of criminal deeds it’s guilty of, but because no other nation have the might to challenge the U.S. besides China and Russia (everybody have nukes now). The U.S. just pretty much pushes every country around that’s incapable of defending itself against them.
Yet another ‘patriot’.
This attitude is appalling. I’m not saying that the USA has not done some of the things you accuse it of, but Western Civilization would be way worse off if the USA had withdrawn and left the thugs, fascists & communists to have their way.
Says you.
The world is presently and admittedly going to hell in a hand-basket doing it your way. You can’t then argue, “Sure, it’s all fucked up the way that we did it … but good thing we did or else it’d be worse!”
That holds no water. Give your head shake.
“This attitude is appalling.”
Are you talking about this: “What’s even worse is how the country believes that it has the right to impose it’s beliefs on other nations.”
Or this: “When you assholes defeat other nations not only do you force your current entire shit belief system on other countries,..”
Or this: “The U.S. just pretty much pushes every country around that’s incapable of defending itself against them.”
Are you denying these activities or the attitude displayed towards them?
People who know only America, know not America.
People who know only the Bible, know not the Bible.
@GRACE
I am going to agree with you.
@ Grace:
In pretty much all conflicts since WWII, the US forces are the thugs. Moreover, I have a feeling that your definition of Western Civilization (if you have one) would be quite a bit different from mine.
Putin and Co, under the influence of Duginism, think all these alien people are going to get along. Madness. White Russian soldiers are already being abused in some areas by Muslims or Mongolian Central Asian soldiers. Wait until Russia weakens and watch how they respond.
They’ve learned nothing for the debacle of diversity in the West.
So the Corporations – some of whom have larger profits than entire nations – should be disloyal to the Nation? Or indifferent?
You’re fucking crazy. They play ball with the nation or they can get the fuck out. Someone else will be thrilled to take their place and serve well.
Small and medium sized businesses are allowed under Fascism too. Dummy. And yes, some socialism as needed. Given the impersonal nature of modern society, this has become more necessary.
In traditional Christian society, you would be giving a tithe or a tenth of your income to help support the unfortunate. But Capitalist man doesn’t want to give anything, right? Only to take!
The tithe is part of the Levitical cult, Jarek, not Christianity. Sure, Pentecostals who preach a false prosperity in this life now gospel, will teach you must give the 10% to them. But don’t call that traditional Christianity please.
I should say that charity/love is indeed a Christian tenet. Intended to support those who cannot work amongst the believers, primarily widows with no working children first and foremost. Christian denominations have established charities informally and then, in the age of the incorporated body, formally. These do a great deal of good. But they will never replace the family unit looking after it’s vulnerable (infants, infirm, children and elderly).
That’s fine. Some Christians take things from the Old Testament, lol. But what?! That’s the question. Tell them about noble Phineas why don’t you?
I don’t disagree. My point is that Capitalist man is a swine. And that it accord with Christianity but poorly, very poorly…..
In fact, I agree. Strong families would in fact defeat the Big Man/harem culture that is now coming back. As you know, most women in their natural state would prefer to be the concubine of a Big Man than the wife of a normal one.
Some try to have both. Since they don’t do guilt but do do shame, that’s what must need be used. And other women will be our first line of defense.
Americans need a refresher course in genocide, to include a broader view beyond the Holocaust. Putin’s inspiration, Uncle Joe tried to wipe out the Ukrainian culture for basically doing what we American small business Conservatives would do under the same circumstances. Stand up for our right to run our businesses and care for our families.
So, why in the Hell was Holodomor 1.0 censored in the West? Why did the NYT and other journos refuse to spread that news? It was to appease the oligarchs who wanted to do business with Stalin. Stolen commodities were being traded globally through Russian channels while Ukrainian Kulaks were labeled as enemies of the people. Gee, it sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Kulaks? Nazis? Putin’s repeating the Stalin program.
Now we have intended Holodomor 2.0 by little Uncle Vladimir and a Conservative class willing to throw Ukraine under the fucking bus again.
As a SUPPOSEDLY respectable country, it’s time for America to support Ukraine. After 80 years of Holocaust Holocaust Holocaust, maybe it’s time for good people to honor a culture that’s more like America than any other place in Europe…and to pay some reverence to a country with Made in America tire tracks all over its back.
Kunstler…I have a nice cozy apartment all picked out for you in Mykolaiv. One month..I’ll pay the rent. You need to boost your learning curve.
“As a SUPPOSEDLY respectable country, it’s time for America to support Ukraine. ”
As a supposedly respectable country, why did America engineer the Maidan coup to unseat Ukraine’s elected president, which started the current war?
Yep. Modern Ukraine is also a laundromat for Western/Atlanticist funny money going to all kinds of pet projects.
Interestingly enough, Ukraine is also one of the most digitized countries on the planet, and a Davos hub with regard to many of the Agenda 2030 and Great Reset-related plans. Another testing grounds of sorts.
Indeed. Even before 2014, Ukraine was officially known as the most corrupt country in Europe. It is/was a cesspit of corruption, money laundering, human trafficking, child trafficking, child organ harvesting and industrialised baby farming (notably by a German company in Ukraine). Having no men around will suit the PTB perfectly.

The USSR was evil. She mentioned 2010, which suggests it’s still going on. That makes Putin somewhat of a hypocrite, to say the least, when he’s rabbiting on about traditional family values.
UK and US are both active in child trafficking.
now please do israel with the same objectivity. i listened to tommy’s podcasts, i think every region on the risk board was discussed except israel. how can any analysis be credible with the elephant in the room. i listened to the podcast with CAF, not a peep. listened to CAF’s market report right after that and she & john titus talk about the israel insanity for 2 hours.
Anyone ever feel that the Left in the West have succeeded at turning everywhere into a cheap imitation of itself? I mean how many countries bother to reject leftism or try to even fight against it? Just a thought that crossed my mind this evening.
” how many countries bother to reject leftism”
Truth,
All of them to some degree will try to maintain their dominant culture.
@Elysianfield
You said that all of them to some degree, but it doesn’t appear to be that way…
The belief system itself have such a strong affect on a lot of nations that have for the most part been defeated or joined Nato, UN, etc. That would be 100% of all the nations in the West have become occupied and leftism made it possible.
I realized the leftist control a huge chunk of the world or at least all the corporations that everyone is familiar with, Google, etc. That the world rely on or use their services. A lot of the same stuff they promote in the U.S. gets shoved down the throats of Europeans as well, this would also include Canada, etc. Doesn’t seem like anyone is really winning against Leftism anywhere. You can exclude the Middle East and Africa because they never will surrender to it unless the U.S. manages to install puppets in every nation around the world. If they do this then they can easily promote their ideology in many parts of the world that once rejected it.
Truth,
To some degree is, I believe accurate. Immediate change will find push-back, while a decades old program will gain grudging acceptance. Consider homosexuality as an issue in the US.

Fuckin’ asshole Potatohead is bumbling live on the TV saying Putin is going to conquer Europe unless we give the Z -man the full backing of the USA. Well fuck Putin! We’ll show him! This new $65,000,000,000.00 spending spree will benefit the USA as all these arms will be made in USA! Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Yippeeeeee. I hope the recipients of said shells can read the labels (made in USA) after we blow them to shit. I saw that a 105mm artillery shell costs 3 grand. I’ve done my share to make a shell-hole in the ground. I don’t know about you but I feel a lot better knowing that my cash is being well spent by my representatives in Washington.

At least he always sits on the back row.

“A Pink Cadillac is a delightful Mexican drink that has been specially made to be enjoyed at your next house party. The salt rim adds an extra layer of flavor, and you’ll love the burst in taste!
As this margarita isn’t for those who can’t handle their liquor – just make sure top shelf alcohol goes into every glass so all guests get something good from it too.
Ingredients
1½ oz. Tequila
2 oz. Sweet and Sour Mix
1½ oz. Cranberry Juice
1 oz. Grand Marnier
½ Lime, Juiced
Lime wedge and Hibiscus Salt for garnish
Directions
Rim a couple glass with a lime wedge. Dip it into the salt mixture.
Fill the glass with ice and set it aside.
Next, combine the tequila, sweet and sour mix, Grand Marnier, cranberry juice, and the juice of half a lime in a cocktail shaker.
Shake, pour, and garnish with another lime wedge.” ~ advancedmixology.com

While y’all are busy talking about Ukraine and Gaza and all the US corporation just basically got pushed out of Niger and Chad as the Russian Mongols take over those places. But my biggest and most pressing concern is that if i did get a pink cadillac the potholes on these roads around here would tear it up in a heart beat. i hate Joe Biden.
d00d U kinda funny – only if that caddy is a coupe de ville convertible ’57….
lol
DIK,
In 1964 I owned a 1957 Cadillac two dr. Coupe…pink, of course.
I owned a Haro dual suspension aluminum-frame mountain bike that I said felt smooth like a Cadillac over all the bumps.
Hardtop don’t count! but 7MPG, yeah, you got me there. in ’64 I was negative 3 years old!
Fat tire bike! I swear, best workhorse evah!! (After $300 worth of rack installs)
SSL, hate is a powerful emotion. I doubt if you really hate Biden. How could you hate a bumbling old man?
I don’t think I’ve ever hated anybody in my life. Perhaps I’m naive. Sure some people are goofs and morons. Or actually evil as I have witnessed. I still don’t hate them. I just try to understand them as difficult as that may be. Some people are just plain fucked up. Am I a better person? Maybe, but who is the judge?
I can’t recall how many times I’ve said, ” that sumbitch’ is fuckin’ crazy.”
We did probably, I would bet 30% psycho cases on the ambulance. I would always say ” I’ll take it” . Being 6′ 3″ and 240 I wasn’t worried. I would get into a session while these people were going psycho. I had 3-4 “passengers” try to hop out of a moving box on the highway at 65 mph over my 33 years.
I knew a guy who committed his demise in that very way.
I was the guy in the “white coat”

I’ve heard rumblings that Israel’s counter-counter-attack on Iran did not go as planned. I heard tell that Israel had deployed a high-air nuke EMP attack but that it either failed or was intercepted.
I don’t know if this is true or a complete fabrication.
Thoughts?
Bullshit.
Vaporized nuclear material would still peg detectors.
No way to keep that quiet.
Ok. So what was Israel’s counter-counter-attack exactly? What was hit? How many casualties? And, more importantly, what was the message?
Lt. Col. Karen Kwiatkowski reports that the Iranians “are laughing” at Israel’s counter-counter-attack.

They’re losing the culture war now – even though they created the whole culture of the “student’ dissident and the protest lifestyle.
So we’re winning? No. A third, mysterious group is winning – the Satanists. The Globalists. I suppose you can be high up in the Pyramid and still be an atheist or agnostic, but many of them seem to have spiritual beliefs. Or is it knowledge? Maybe it is hard not believe once one rises that high?
No Marxists mixed with Islamists.
The Guardian
The UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, has said he was “horrified” by reports of mass graves containing hundreds of bodies at two of Gaza’s largest hospitals.
Palestinian civil defence teams began exhuming bodies from a mass grave outside the Nasser hospital complex in Khan Younis last week after Israeli troops withdrew.
“We feel the need to raise the alarm because clearly there have been multiple bodies discovered,” said Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the UN high commissioner for human rights.
She described bodies “buried deep in the ground and covered with waste”, adding that “among the deceased were allegedly older people, women and wounded”, including some bound and stripped of their clothes.
“Some of them had their hands tied, which of course indicates serious violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law, and these need to be subjected to further investigations,” she said.
Palestinian rescue teams and several observation missions from the UN also reported the discovery of multiple mass grave sites in the Shifa hospital compound, in Gaza City, earlier this month, after Israeli ground troops withdrew after a prolonged siege.
Medics working for Doctors Without Borders described how Israeli forces attacked Nasser hospital in late January before withdrawing a month later, leaving the facility unable to function.
Rescue workers are continuing to dig through the sandy earth to exhume bodies outside the hospital. Shamdasani said her office was working on corroborating Palestinian officials’ reports that 283 bodies had been found at the site.
Officials in Gaza said the bodies at Nasser were people who had died during the siege.
Jarek: Palestinian support camps are being set up on every major campus. Some campuses are closing down. You don’t like it, Conservatives? Your best and only allies have played (and played us) right into their hands.
Morality is a terrible weapon. They used to understand that.
It could have been Israel but it could have also been Hamas.
I question this for the simple fact if this was actually Israel why not just incinerate the bodies leaving no evidence?
They’re getting really dumb, aren’t they? Or maybe too many people were watching to get away with it?
Then where is the video?
Speaking of dumb even in the caveman society the gazans have they all have cell phones so WHERE are the videos?
I always get a kick out of the defence that goes like this:
“Oh! It can not be! For if it were, your Honour, my client would’ve committed a far better crime than the one that the evidence points to.”
Or I am not falling for the constant screeching Marxist rhetoric you fall for.
Is Israel perfect?
Nope but there are still better than the Hamas retrogrades they are fighting.
I have asked over and over why Israel is held to a different and higher standard than Hamas and Palestinians and no one ever answers.
Every accusation against Israel is believed and shouted to the rooftops no matter how ludicrous it is and the atrocities of Hamas dumped down a hole and never discussed.
Hamas executes Palestinians who refuse to follow their anti-Israeli rules and who refuse to be used as human shields but nary a peep from the useful idiots about it.
Reminds me of all the fools that do the same for the massive black on black crime no one ever wants to talk about it.
Some cop gets out of hand and we hear about it for six months and then all cops are tarred and feathered for it.
That white kid that tackled and chocked out some crazy black guy on a new york subway is being prosecuted even though this black dude was crazy as a shit house rat.
Connect the dots hell our resident racist seems to connect some of the dots then drops the ball because jews are involved.
The utter insanity is mind boggling.
Judge Andrew Napolitano and his guests are “constant screeching Marxist rhetoric”? Ya think?
***
Different standard?!?! Nope. Same standard. Israel runs Gaza as an apartheid concentration camp for 2.2mm souls for decades while Palestinians are their victims.
Exact same standard. Different verdicts like head/tails of the same coin.

Theologists widely agree that the entire world will turn against Israel in the final days before Armageddon. The whole world turning against Israel is far closer today than ever before. It seems real close now, doesn’t it?
Unless Israel intends to fire nukes at everyone, or the U.S. causes Russia to use one. I don’t buy into this Armageddon Shit, unless Israel is purposely trying to piss the world off to make them hate them which seems to be what they are doing. Piss off the world, then have an excuse to attack the world to fulfill some dogshit end of the world prophecy.
And yet the prophecy is fulfilled. His Word.
It is far beyond our puny little people brains to grasp how He does it. We are left to marvel and strive to forever be in His light.
No not the entire world just leftist turds and muslims.
That’s always presented as a bad thing – like they don’t deserve it. Not as clear, some say prophecy states that Russia will march on Europe – also like that’s a bad thing.
What if we got these prophecies all wrong in some fundamental way?
Oh for X’s sake! R U telling me the Jehovah’s Witnesses had it right all along (for the wrong reasons)?
Just look at the pictures, Zip. Multi-colored people petting lions in world reborn.
Don’t buy the lie
Millions now living will never die!
If Hamas occupied the hospital and the Israelis were unable to capture the hospital, and now they are finding dead bodies under the hospital, who are they blaming?
If Jarek posted it, they must be blaming Israel. How did Israel do this while Hamas occupied the hospital?
How dare you question the narrative Paula get with the Marxist agenda of destroying Israel!
Siding with the Palestinians (34,000+ dead, 1mm+ displaced) is not a Marxist agenda to destroy Israel, benr.
Our Lord gave you a brain to think. He does not expect it to come back to him unused.
*He does not expect it to come back to Him unused.
And where are those numbers coming from?
You just swallow them with zero thought to whether they are real or not and yet everything else is a lie and a conspiracy theory.
The media lies non-stop to us but on this one subject they are telling the absolute unvarnished truth!
You believe a government used a death ray on a Hawaiin island burning up hundreds of people instead of just pulling the imminent domain card and paying fair market fiat currency value!
Then say I am not using my brain?
Absolutely hilarious.
I heard a very interesting podcast today where the hosts said the people calling themselves Palestinians are hated even more then the JEWS.
Nor is this the first time I have heard this.
Which is why no Muslim government is actually doing anything more than paying lip service to help them and they are only doing this to keep their own citizens in line.
Iran could take them all and not break a sweat but nope.
Egypt could easily open them borders and stop this today but…nope.
Instead Egypt is building even taller walls with HUGE barb wire along the top.
Lebanon sure don’t want them.
Jordan already has more than they want.
Saudi’s nope.
Nobody wants them because they actually do shit the bed everywhere they go.
So, everyone in the middle east is condemning the Israelis publicly but behind the scenes cheering them on to include the American government and our esteemed idiocrasy to the north in Canadia.
Now ain’t that some Ashkenormativity?
You must live in a cave.
Listen to Mark Levin who destroys your not a marxist plot narrative.
megaphone.link/WWO2708066563
Or if you’re to cowardly read the following.
Americans are finally catching on that the oppressor-oppressed narrative being taught in our schools and universities is not a conspiracy theory disseminated by conservatives. It’s real. Jewish students having to barricade themselves in a college to escape a mob in Manhattan, of all places, has opened people’s eyes to the threat woke ideology represents to civilization.
Too bad it took a grotesque massacre and mass rapes in the Holy Land to do it. But now that we have people’s attention, let’s connect the dots.
The oppressor-oppressed worldview that paints democratic Israel as the “oppressor” and Palestinian terrorists as the “oppressed,” so prevalent on college campuses, is pure Marxism.
In the first page of “The Communist Manifesto” of 1848, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels explain that “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” They add:
Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes.
Capitalism and democracy are based on competition, but competition requires compromise and that gives each side something.
>>> American Universities in the Face of Hamas Terrorist Attacks
In the economic sphere, buyer and seller haggle over a price (or in most cases, millions of buyers and sellers known abstractly as “the market” do) to come up with a “market-clearing price” that allows buyer and seller to walk away with some measure of satisfaction.
In a democracy, one party or side seldom gets all it wants. And if the system is correctly structured, as the founders strived to do with the American system of government, there are checks and balances. The legislature, the executive, and the judiciary check each other’s powers (and the legislature itself is divided into two chambers).
Not so in Marx’s “oppressor and oppressed” view. There you end up with a “revolutionary reconstitution,” which Marx himself promised would be ruthless. “This cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads,” he averred in the manifesto.
A few months later, Marx wrote, more ominously, “There is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terror.”
Blood will run—it’s a feature, not a bug, of Marxism.
What we are seeing right now is no longer economic Marxism, but cultural Marxism. In 1888, Engels added a footnote to the Manifesto’s first page which explained the two classes that were contending.
By bourgeoisie is meant the class of modern capitalists, owners of the means of social production and employers of wage labour. By proletariat, the class of modern wage labourers who, having no means of production of their own, are reduced to selling their labour power in order to live.
The problem was that, as Marxists from the end of World War I in 1918 to the 1960s were able to document, the actual proletariat had very little interest in “revolutionary reconstitution of society at large.” In the 1920s in Europe, and in the 1960s here in America, they wanted better working conditions, and maybe a week or two at the beach every year.
But they didn’t want to “abolish” the family, the nation state, property or God, as Marx had called for. In fact, they wanted to become richer and move up a class. It turned out that Marx had never spent much time with actual workers, and didn’t understand them. He was the original limousine Marxist.
In the 1960s, the Marxist theorist Herbert Marcuse derided the workers for being such bad revolutionaries. “They find their soul in their automobile, hi-fi set, split-level home, kitchen equipment,” wrote the despairing Marcuse.
>>> The Shocking Antisemitism After Hamas Attack Is Deja Vu All Over Again
But then Marcuse witnessed the riots of the 1960s, and wrote that—in his words—the revolution would come from the “ghetto population.” The vanguard of the revolution, he added, would therefore have to come from “the substratum of the outcasts and outsiders, the exploited and the persecuted of other races and other colors.”
Since then, the revolutionary locus has been placed not in economic classes, but in cultural identities.
Marx had written in 1859 that revolutions would inevitably come when “the material forces of production in society come into conflict with the existing relations of production.” But Antonio Gramsci, one of Marcuse’s cultural Marxist precursors, added in 1930s that “popular beliefs and similar ideas are themselves material forces.”
Eric Mann, the former Weatherman terrorist who recruited BLM founder Patrisse Cullors at the age of 17 to train her into Marxism, later added: “Given the social formation of the U.S. as a settler state based on virulent white supremacy, the racialization of all aspects of political life operates as a material force in itself.”
That’s how we get from economic Marxism to the mess we have today on U.S. campuses. “Pedagogy of the Oppressed,” for example, the Marxist tract penned by Paulo Freire, has “achieved near-iconic status in America’s teacher-training programs,” according to Sol Stern.
Many of us have been explaining for years, in books, papers, op-eds, media interviews, and speeches, that what we are seeing is “cultural Marxism.” That, too, has been dismissed. Google “cultural Marxism” and the very first entry is a Wikipedia page that informs the reader that “The term ‘Cultural Marxism’ refers to a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory.”
They’ll have a harder time hiding the truth now.

You’re on a roll.
A young girl in middle school was brutally assaulted by a boy who says he’s a girl. The teachers did nothing while the other students screamed in alarm.
This is what the principal sent out afterwards. Note that he makes it sound as if two people had a fight, not the truth, that the girl was beaten by the boy.
When they talk about anti-bullying, what they mean is forcing the girl to call the boy a “she”, to protect his feelings.
They don’t care about the actual physical atrocity.
“Dear Pennbrook Families,
The safety of our students is of utmost importance. Today at approximately 1:20 pm, Pennbrook Middle School was placed on a hold due to a physical altercation that took place involving two students in the cafeteria.
School security and school staff were on hand and quickly responded, and are to be commended for their swift actions. Police and emergency medical responders were also immediately called and arrived at the scene. One student was transported to the hospital. The hold lasted for approximately eight minutes at which time students did not leave their current location, and normal activities occurred”
Safety of their students is obviously NOT a priority.
A witness testified the assault lasted for 25 minutes, while the teachers did nothing. Obviously, that is NOT “swift action.” Getting out your cellphone and calling the cops, while a boy beats the shit out of a girl, is not “action”.
The witness testifying: //twitter.com/ReduxxMag/status/1781691644300927186
Would the teachers have stood around and done nothing if it were actually two girls? They wouldn’t have pulled one girl off the other one?
I doubt it. They were no doubt afraid of laying a hand on the boy, because, you know, he’s a “trans girl”.
The whole population is terrorized by these dudes. They know they’re untouchable and so does everyone else, so they are allowed to run rampant.

Well, that’s America’s problem. Keep being afraid of them. So far I’ve seen stories of them getting away with rape, beatings, killings yet all this country does is stand around stupid as fuck. What are they waiting for, Muslims? They need Muslims do do shit about these people? How sad and pathetic America is.

Now I’ve got TruthSeeker correcting himself. My efforts are bearing fruit.
If the girl beating the other was Black, they might not do anything. If they did, they’d get a beating too.
Paula likes Blacks so she won’t go along with that.
@Jarek
If only I could understand the point and direction of this nation and how people have a huge tolerance for fear of consequences. As for me, I’m too yellow, by yellow I mean my skin tone, and I’ve always had a negative history with black people dating all the way back to Jr High School seventh grade, and up to high school where it got even worse. From both genders.
Back in 2018 I worked security at a store, and tried to uprehend one of them, my manager was a white woman. She tried to grab the black girl by the arm when I told her she was walking out the store with the item I caught her stealing…Grabbing that woman’s arm resulted in a fist fight between a white employee and a black woman. I ended up getting struck in the face by the woman and was laying on the floor in blood. SHe didn’t’ hit me with her fist, she struck me with a sharp object. The only reason they get away with everything is because of soft white people, and leftism policies.
If a dark skinned person attacked me again, I’d fight back. I’d probably get the white person treatment even though I’m not white. But I still don’t understand why they wish to overly protect trans people and blacks so damn much whenever one of them choose to do wrong to someone. Unfortunately no one has ever bothered to explain that. I for one have grown incredibly tired of all of this.
Law suits and threats of violence.
But I still don’t understand why they wish to overly protect trans people and blacks so damn much whenever one of them choose to do wrong to someone.”
Truth,
Because…the culture is under assault by people who use crime, race, poverty and any other outrage to destroy or maim the dominant culture in this country. The criminal is but a tool.
The problem with security guards is sometimes that they are ultimately protecting the elites who have stolen from and/or duped/brainwashed the general public, through land-grabs/corporate squats, commons resource theft, wage-slavery, price fixing, profit skimming, ‘externalization’, planned obsolescence, conspicuous consumption, false advertising, artificial scarcity and so on…

@The Man They Call Zazelle
Did you just quote Malcom X? Why?? Just WHY?! I worked security at a small Halloween store that was located in an urban neighborhood. Though they had plenty of white people that would shop there and not just black people. The store was known for having a lot of thefts.
But I was in need of a job so I took it despite they told me of the risk with that particular store location having theft problems. There’s nothing wrong if a person steals something because they are hungry and ended up homeless with it being no fault of their own. But this person wasn’t homeless, she was stealing accessories. Some people would even steal full costumes for their kids and walk right out the store but they would stuff them into large bags which they weren’t even suppose to bring into the store. We were told to check them but then some of the women didn’t like their personal stuff being checked, and they were the ones doing most of the fucking stealing.
After they complained about having their bags checked (Which all security do at airports regardless if you think it’s invading your privacy. they aren’t going to let you on a plane without seeing if you have shit in there you aren’t suppose to have). Either way the women complained about it and they told me I didn’t have to check their bags anymore…..Once they did this the thefts shot through the roof….Women were stealing so much out of the store because of this.
@TruthSeeker1986, I get what you’re saying and can empathize, to a point.
It’s important to bear in mind that there are a lot of nuances and systemic considerations and the like when talking about these kinds of things. (Insofar as they maybe didn’t have to steal, you didn’t have to take the job or do it to the point where it might threaten your health, well-being or life. Some things aren’t worth it and most thefts can be absorbed into the costs of doing business, or perhaps like in Baltimore, San Francisco, Detroit and/or other places, some businesses in some parts fold/move.)
Speaking of which, I’m inclined toward a gift/surplus-sharing economy– that kind of thing– that doesn’t use money at all or if it does, it uses it in limited form…
The current crony-capitalist plutarchy dynamic seems to favor the rich getting richer and more poor, such as taken from the middle more now, are getting poorer.
The so-called ‘economy’ is not only uneconomical, but appears as a glorified pyramid scheme and, as such, fundamentally nonviable in the long run. That’s a large part why it appears to be in decline and why some of us are on this very blog.
BTW, WRT Malcolm X, some of us, out of a sense of academic or scientific rigor or habit, say, attribute our quotes.
A simple attribution should not be mistaken for an endorsement for anything else the author being attributed may have said or done.
No rather you illustrate my points and then engage in the very same nonsense you accuse of gish gallop, pointless quotes, and endless revisits.
Unsure about that, benr, as the stuff of yours I recently questioned as gish gallop is quite wall-to-wall.
Also, right here in this subthread, you don’t even bother to edit my quote, but post it, verbatim.
So I mean, come on.

uprehend, hahaha
In the urban school where I used to teach, the teachers were under orders not to intervene in fights between students.
Normally, when there is a student fight, teachers have no idea what it’s about. Once, I was presenting a lesson to a quiet, orderly class, when, all of a sudden, they all jumped up and ran out into the hall. It was weird.
By the time I got out into the hall, the fight was over. Then they all went back into the classroom and sat back down.
But every now and then you’d hear of some teacher who got a broken collar bone or something, from intervening in a student fight–or you’d see a teacher wearing a neck brace.
Maybe get a few teachers, rather than just one, in on it? Make it a school-room brawl? Yeehaw.
Nobody cares. These inner-city schools are–many of them–in a more or less continual state of riot. Fights are just background noise. No one is ever punished for this, mainly because everyone is behaving this way, all the time. Teachers have accepted the fact that this is how black kids behave, and nothing can be done about it.
benr paraphrased:
“Egypt won’t take the refugees that we caused, therefore it’s acceptable that we kill them.”
May God have mercy on your soul.
‘Marxists are against Israeli actions.
You are against Israeli actions.
Therefore, you are a Marxist.’
– benr
Not exactly Einstein.
What a total load of crap. Israel runs an apartheid concentration camp ghetto for decades then bomb the shit out of it for their canal and settlement plans and then name-call anyone who opposes their war crimes as, “Marxist” and “Anti-Semite.”
Fuck that shit.
AFAIK, at least in my case, benr hasn’t provided a definition of Marxism– (it’s not concrete, I checked)– nor then applied it to their point.
If so, it’s just so much mindless ‘talking points’, designed, perhaps, not to elicit some sort of dialogue to truth, but to have psychological effect. In fact, to underscore that, I cite their mention in previous threads of their ‘getting under my skin’.
If one’s basic motivation is to get under someone’s skin, it’s a poor one and ultimately self-defeating.
Anyway, I have just provided a header/link to a fresh interview with Michael Hudson. I only watched ~15 minutes or so of it, but will finish it shortly. In short, it looks increasingly bad for Israel and it seems that there’s a general or developing consensus around that– despite the attempts at the apparently-aggressive pro-Israel censorship.
There is no one definition it is a moving target.
marxist.com
They call it out and by God it almost looks like some of the bullshit you post on here.
It’s way too easy to call something bullshit or whatever and/or attack someone and yet another to actually make reasonable, rational, respectful arguments.
But if one has no argument, then it seems to stand to reason that they might fall back on the former.
A cute link does not an argument make, incidentally. Good luck with your ‘moving target’. Feel free to let us know when you come to grips with or board it.
I have no respect for arguments that look like Marxist rhetoric.
Unsure you even respect your own comments.
To whom it may concern …
Article* from way back in 2018:
blogs.timesofisrael.com/hamas-israels-own-creation/
‘Hamas [is] Israel’s own creation”
A bit like ISIS is the US’s own creation.
*The author, Shlomo Alegra:
“Shlomo was born in Miami, Florida in 1989 and moved to Israel in 2012. He holds a degree from Florida Atlantic University in Political Science and served in the IDF as a combat soldier in the Netzach Yehuda Battalion. After serving in the military Shlomo studied in Yeshivat Shavie Hevron where he lived in Hebron. He now lives in Kiryat Arba, is a proud reservist in the Golani Brigade, and is a blogger for the Times of Israel.”
No what Ben said was there is a concerted effort to ignore the terrible shit one side is doing (Hamas) while highlighting everything and anything the other side is doing (Israel) and even piling on crimes Hamas is doing and blaming Israel for.
I then asked why people IGNORE the various terrible shit HAMAS does and once again our self-professed genius OG shows he is anything but that by picking at one thread as usual.
Hamas and all the pro-Palestinian pressure groups are working with Marxist groups all across the world and when you support Palestinians at this point you are now indirectly supporting Marxists whether you want to admit it or not. Shame on you!
Worse you also continue to provide support to the very people who keep this bloodshed going no Hamas and no more excuse for Israel to go in. Double shame on you!
The fact is until the leadership for lack of a better word of the Palestinian people come forward and deal in good faith towards a meaningful two state solution nothing will ever move forward and the same degraded situation of tit for tat will keep happening.
You can keep your may God have mercy on my soul bullshit to yourself and look in the mirror your hands are pretty damn dirty for your support of terrorist enabling groups and the Marxist scum.
You may be ignorant of it but you have been told given the details and now know better.
“Modern day Israel uses the Old Testament scripture as evidence for their claim to the land, while simultaneously being a secular state that doesn’t believe the spiritual truths of that same scripture. The hypocrites are still alive and well, as they were when Jesus walked amongst them.” ~ Nathan April 24, 2024 at 9:12 am
Jews are jews who are you to say whether they practice or not makes or breaks their Jewishness much less a claim or no claim.
The Muslims sure don’t care they will murder and rape them the same.
I also just caught part of a recent Interview with Dmitry Orlov, who also seems to think Israel(-US) is ‘problematic’.
At one point, and as I already know and have mentioned, he points out Iran’s defence partnership with Russia (and China), which seems to strongly suggest that Israel(-US) is unlikely going to be doing too much with Iran.
BTW, there may be elements of your Marxism fetish that I and even you might agree with, I mean in case you might be inclined to throw that baby out with the bathwater, or beat people over the head with the entire baby/bath/water setup. LOL
Huh? I must support Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians for their canal and settlements lest you heap shame on me for supporting Marxism.
Fuck you.
Another rumor mill and his reason for Israel going after Hamas and clearing out the rat’s nest.
Laughable levels of denial.
I read Jim’s article Friday morning. It spells out many issues we face. I returned to the article this Wednesday evening and I see that everyone has a problem, but nobody has a solution.
At this point either Biden is the solution or Trump is the solution. We have no other choice. We can all find issues with both candidates.
It all boils down to what will make you happy for the next four years. What will save the Country?
As individuals we all have opinions. We all have likes and dislikes. What makes sense to some is a joke to others. We all need to get our heads straight and fight for our existence within our borders.
Again, remember, unless something drastically changes, it’s Biden or Trump. Make up your mind.
Stay low, move fast, shoot first, die last isn’t a great option.
“One thing I would say about the prospects for government action. Governments are crowds. They are reactive not proactive. And essentially it means that whatever they do, they’re… extrapolating past trends forward and not anticipating trend changes. So that’s like driving your car, flooring it, while only looking in the rear view mirror. It’s practically a guarantee of a really nasty accident. Plus the people who are in power tend to have the most invested in the status-quo. They tend to have benefitted greatly from that. These are not the people you are going to look to to change that kind of system. I more or less ignore them and I pay attention to municipal politics and things at lower levels, but I don’t expect anything good from the top down…” ~ Nicole Foss
“I see that everyone has a problem, but nobody has a solution.
At this point either Biden is the solution or Trump is the solution. We have no other choice.”
“… nobody has a solution.”
BULLITT, how about taking 4 minutes and watching Macgregor’s message and let me know what you do not agree with.

“Our Country Our Choice is more than just a people’s movement; it’s a media platform as well. My vision was straightforward: identify over 10 million like-minded Americans and create the most extensive group of American activists ever assembled. Our mission is to inform every American about the importance of choosing decision-makers who will put an end to the intentional sabotage of our beloved nation and start serving us, the American people.” ~ RJ

We have to start somewhere, and unless there is a better option, I view it as a good place to start.
I don’t think Biden or Trump are good choices. For one Trump makes it impossible for me to trust him at all, Biden is at least open about who he is and doesn’t hide that he’s destructive. Trump pretends to be about America, but is nothing more than a puppet himself. Going far and beyond for Israel and getting angry over anyone that questions them. He also never judged the war but supports it, he didn’t apologize or call out the death shots, and if it’s true about him now supporting Abortions…
He’s already done fucked his character beyond repair, I mean he already came off as damaged, now he’s just acting like a desperate old man who really wants to be President again so he’s now being tolerant of shit he was against before. Like he’s trying to win over the left.
TruthSeeker1986, If you are replying to my post:
“The situation in the USA has been steadily deteriorating since January 2021, and our collective efforts so far have yielded no positive results.
I’m RJ, a devoted Christian and a father of four children. I own a small business and have a deep love for our country and its people. I invested my financial resources, time, and energy to support Trump in both 2015 and 2020. However, despite giving it my all in 2020, I’ve never experienced such profound disappointment in my life. I believe many of you may share my sentiments. We cannot forget what they did with pandemic shutdowns and regulations. They will do it again unless we the people stop them.
As I witnessed America’s trajectory under the Biden administration, it became increasingly chaotic and disheartening. I reached a breaking point, realizing that the responsibility of reclaiming our country and defeating the deep state ultimately rests with us, the American people. No one else will step up. So, I made a bold decision, risking everything I had, and founded Our Country Our Choice.” RJ
You have time, so it would seem that this would be a good option for you.
@TpTB-USA
I went to that site and checked, but he starts talking about legal immigration too. It seem as though they are against open borders but still support the idea of having people come here anyway from elsewhere, and to be fair I don’t see how that has helped America to begin with.
Even with legals who come here and “follow the law” they tend to still practice their own language strictly, most of them will start their own business and will employ only their own people, they live within their own communities. Basically they are just here for the money but could care less about America’s culture let alone it’s boring as hell politics.
BULLITT wrote ” At this point either Biden is the solution or Trump is the solution. We have no other choice.”.
I am suggesting that there are other options.
One being Medical assistance in dying (MAID) which Canada offers.
Another being OCOC, where they realize that there are many issues, and many opinions for each issue, but they feel that the first step is to restore law and order, and restore the idea that the government should represent “We the People”.
So, unless you have a better suggestion, which do you feel is the best option?
You’re not getting it: There is no We the People anymore. That was the whole point of mass 3rd World immigration. They’ve undermine the existential basis for our Nation.
Whites under 15 are now a minority. The White, Western Nation knows as “The United States of America” is no more.
It sure looks like the fix is in Jarek.
I don’t think Hungary or Russia is an option, as I don’t think either country wants to pollute their population with citizens from America.
As long as I have the option, I’ll go down fighting before I volunteer to march to the “gas chamber”.

Did Mike Johnson go to Ukraine with the entourage from congress in the last month or two?
SRsly, who do you think will be picking the crops down there in Cali? The whites under 15?!?
OMFG you nailed it there – STEVE is our choice! ’67 fastback ‘stang! 7MPG, good guzzlah!!! Oh wait, were U talkin’ about that rye (Stallone sponsored)? Mc Queen indeed!!!
U still rLy belieb the lesser of 2 evils choice?!? That just sounds like hamhocks jammed down our throats…
“You only have two choices”.
That sounds like a decree handed down from on high.
Don’t look over there! Spend four years bitching and moaning about the covid scam, and the forced injections, and the WHO takeover of the planet, but just ignore the fact that a man who has been fighting all of this is running for president. The man who actually wrote the book on the criminal Fauci.
Like the dogs that bark and yap, but back off when the gate is opened, people that bitch and moan about the government/corporate enforcement of experimental injections forced into the bodies of unwilling Americans (and others across the planet), but then say
“You only have two choices”, illustrate the concept of learned helplessness.
“I don’t like being treated like an experimental subject, but what are you going to do?” Shrug, and vote for Trump or Biden, like a good obedient subject.
People are Outraged by Israel’s War on Gaza – Israel is Losing | Michael Hudson
youtube.com/watch?v=9W1TF2-b8uY
I can’t help but feel that Israel is doing it on purpose….”Look the bible says the world will turn on us. So let’s find a way to fulfill this prophecy and get the world angry with us.” Besides, when people say the world. I doubt the entire world is angry over this. For one Hispanic nations don’t too much give a shit about Muslims getting bombed, Asians also don’t really care either.
So maybe it’s just the pathetic white folks again who are always looking for an excuse to care about people who aren’t white that are involved in some situation. They seem to be the only people who look for every opportunity to virtue signal. Yes what’s going on in Gaza is bad and horrible, and Hamas aren’t great either. I don’t care about either side to be honest. Hamas, Jews, Muslims, etc the world would be better off without either one of them making trouble. But I feel like Israel is purposely trying to make the world turn against them, it’s like they are acting out a goddamn movie script.
The script is called the Bible and it will be fulfilled to the very letter.
***
Pretty much the entire world has already turned against Israel at the United Nations. The entire world except, of course, for the USA’s veto. Now the USA protests pick up steam. The last bastion.
As I mentioned before, we are closer now to the entire world turning against Israel than ever before.
Yet and still the Globalist control a vast majority of those countries, and the United Nations really can’t judge Israel to be fair. Look how they wrecked all the European countries and none of them are trying to restore the sovereignty of these nations. Instead they are too busy trying to fulfill some shitty Kalergi plan, and last time I checked it was a Jewish/Japanese guy that was promoting this.
Turning on Israel while allowing them to still have nuclear weapons seem rather idiotic on the world’s part. They would be wise to just seize that shit and force them to destroy it. But the U.S. is a rather stupid country, so of course they will always have America protecting them. You keep saying the entire world, but the entire world isn’t really concerned with what Israel is doing. I don’t know anyone in countries like Thailand who are concerned with Israel killing of Palestinians. But I still say all of this was done intentionally on Israel’s part if they are playing by some “script.”
Israel developed it’s own nuclear weapons in a joint program with SAfrica, before SAfrica went under.
South Africa stands as a good example of Israel’s fate if it surrenders or allows itself to be overrun. Israel’s nuclear weapons assures that this won’t happen. As far as the slander that Isreael is an ‘Apartheid State’, are the Islamic Republics of Mauratania, Iran, and Pakistan ‘Apartheid States’? No? Just Israel?
@BackRowHeckler
No Israel to me come off as a nation that will most likely use them regardless if anyone tries to invade them. After all they gotta fulfill that stupid Armageddon prophecy somehow! Besides they wouldn’t have to worry about being overrun if they stopped pissing with the Middle East. You can’t just pick fights with everybody next door to you, do what you want to their people and not expect them to get mad and want your ass handed to you.
Plus America is also a big part of this problem, invading a vast majority of nations all around the world, stationing their military forces on every block, forcing their woke bullshit on everyone that’s too afraid to say no, taking out governments and then putting puppets in every country they want control over. Any nation that refuses to submit they have them destroyed. They can’t do this so easily to Russia, but that’s what they want…They’ve screwed over so many nations already now they want to screw over Russia.
Once Russia is out of the way, they’ll try to piss in China’s face next and take what they have. America and Israel both are a global problem. As for Iran and Pakistan yes Islamic nations are troublesome as well, but if they are just fighting among each other then let them!
Muslims of the Middle East wish to expand, spread Islam, dominate just like Israel wants to dominate but the thing about it, they wouldn’t have been able to achieve this if it weren’t for the U.S. and Israel working so damn hard to have all these people imported into Europe and the U.S. while intentionally pissing them off in their homelands hoping that they go full Jihad on citizens in every nation they’ve been sent off to with the intent to take over.
I think a country like Israel, Iran, or any of them shouldn’t even have access to nuclear weapons, especially not when they are the only people trying to fulfill some stupid as fuck prophecy that involves the use of them. The world would be better off if all nations just went nuclear free and fought battles without them. If you lose a fight against your foes that just means your military might sucked. America purposely made their own military weak by doing all this diversity nonsense. Military forces should be used ONLY if you are truly under attack ,not misused to make money, to steal from other countries, and commit criminal acts, but the U.S. misuse the armed forces to fight bullshit wars just so a few wealthy turds in DC can grow even wealthier, like they never have enough. Endless wars don’t benefit any of us. And I’m not here to take sides either. I’ll call all of them out.
TS, Israel is a small country, smaller than New Jersey. Israelis just want to live in peace i.e. not being attacked by Hamas or Hezbollah. Israel is not a threat to anybody, if left alone. Another thing is the World seems to have forgotten the Holocaust; rest assured Israelis have not.
Act as bad as possible to force the Messiah to come and fix everything. Their Messiah, not ours.
Think I’m making this up? Google Jacob Frank and be ready for a very deep dive down the rabbit hole.
I don’t recall anything scriptural in the way of end-times prophecy, about the world turning on Israel. If someone here can cite some scripture on that, I would like to see it.
Somewhere above, Jarek mentioned that this “was prophesied,” but there must be thousands of people who go around prophesying and putting their prophecies, claimed to be divinely inspried, up on the internet–and that’s besides the thousands of other people online who churn out prophecies about the stock market, the real estate market, whether the Fed will lower interest rates, and everything else you can guess (or bet) on.
benr – Supporting Israel is supporting Rothschild’s satanic child sex-trafficking, organ-harvesting and adrenochrome production.
Now you know and have no excuse for what you are doing.
@OG
I thought that was the globalist who ran that. Or at least I’ve heard Jarek say “there is a third group, and they are the globalist.”
The Rothschilds, the Illuminati, WEF, the Globalists, the Deep State, WHO, the Tri-Lateral Commission, Satanists, …
a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
– William Shakespeare
I could say the same for your pathetic ass licking government.
Canada is so far down the globalist agenda as to be disgusting.
They support all of it even the point they have all but removed your balls and your guns and you have the gall to say anything about any other country?
The irony!
On the contrary, OG, Israel scientists are at the forefront of many technological/medical advances, including most recently unobtrusive methods of detecting some forms of cancer. Maybe one of these methods will benefit you someday.
lol nobody is going to create a cure for cancer, don’t be naive Row. If anything there are probably already cures for it, but the medical industry wouldn’t make any money if something like that was created and available to everyone.
Maybe not, TS, but at least they have scientists & researchers working on it. What are they working on in Gaza? How to build pipe bombs? Ways to keep their antique Kalashnikov rifles operational?
Are they working on any fancy new derivatives scams that might benefit us in the future?
I’m not sure what you’re driving at RD, but Ken Lay & Alan Stamford were Baptists.
You know exactly what I’m getting at, and only a dishonest person would attempt to downplay the outsized influence that The Tribe has in devious banking and finance manipulation. You embarrass yourself to argue otherwise.
@ BackRowHeckler:
“Detecting” is not curing. I’ve read that up to 25% of cancer diagnoses are false positives, as it is.
Once again, you’re showing your ass.
We already know you’re full of shit stop piling on with nonsense.
Palestine Talks | Norman Finkelstein [Identity Politics Cue]
youtu.be/AOdRk7Wptjg?si=39TYX2SnhBCjboqk&t=1618
“Now, in the Democratic Party, because the mantle of the Democratic Party became identity politics. At its base, like the Black Lives Matter movement and all kindred movements like that, they had adopted Palestine as a cause, it’s true. And then when October 7th. happened and thereafter, the genocide in Gaza, that base was now energized by Palestine because, already… they were supportive of the cause and that created the big split in the party now, where the leadership doesn’t know what to do… because it created this monster, namely, it invested in the identity politics. And now the identity politics is saying, ‘Well, Israel, too, is a settler colonial State.’ That was part of identity politics. ‘Israel is oppressing the Palestinian identity’, you know.
And so, in a way, the identity politics backfired on the Democratic Party because the leadership is deeply entrenched, both ideologically and financially… in supporting Israel. But the base of the Democratic party, because it was created on the ideology of identity politics… is totally committed to Palestine. And so, as I said… it backfired on the party, because the base had appropriated Palestine as its cause.”
Yes, it would seem they’ve screwed the pooch with this one. Fortunately for them, the electorate is divided on the issue as well and the R’s are no better, with even Trump being a committed Zionist. But in the final analysis, none of that matters in the least. Elections and the illusion of “choice” are just for show, while “policies” – aka “interests” – are carved in stone.
If the Democrats managed Trump for one term, they can do so for yet another. It’s not the end of the world. /tongue-in-cheek
That sums it up pretty good, Zaz.
And in just a few paragraphs.
Israel is suddenly getting it from many angles, both with that ‘Democratic base’ and overseas…
If Israel were a ship, I’d not want to be its captain, crew or passengers at the moment.
“Barack Obama euphemistically refer to this collapse as a “fundamental transformation,” on the theory that society can only be improved by destroying the deeply flawed existing order and replacing it with what they view as a better alternative.”
Heads they win, tails they win.
Now where have I read that bit of nonsense before…Oh yeah Commie bullshit.
Sometimes change is not good, and nothing highlights this fact more than what has been happening since 2008 in the United States.
Racial divide went from something we all knew was there to riots in the street and people stealing from stores for reparations they have been told they are owed.
Every excuse for bad behavior, criminality, and obvious mental illness is being unfurled.
Now who could have predicted this?
$122 Thai delivery and $26 to-go coffees: New wage laws meant to help gig workers are backfiring big-time
Seattle takeout orders have reached a breaking point. Amid horror stories of $122 Thai delivery and $26 to-go coffees, the Emerald City is now considering rolling back a brand new wage law that’s causing food takeout prices to skyrocket and delivery orders to tank. It’s just the latest in a series of wage laws that are backfiring this year, causing chaos for customers, restaurants, and the gig workers they were meant to help.
In an inflation-riddled economy, many families are struggling with rising prices. But instead of fighting inflation head-on, recent laws passed in Seattle and New York have created new rules around how online delivery platforms, like DoorDash and Grubhub, are required to pay their workers. At the same time, cities like Minneapolis have passed new laws restructuring how rideshare apps like Uber and Lyft are required to pay gig drivers.
These new laws are intended to provide app-based delivery and rideshare drivers with livable earnings by creating a price floor for gig worker wages. But their heavy-handed restructurings of the labor market have unintentionally passed eye-opening costs onto consumers. The end result is fewer orders, fewer work opportunities, and less local business.
As Seattle’s city councilors reconsider their delivery policy, other cities should think twice before passing similar legislation.
Ben, I was wondering as a Californian if you know if the ban on gasoline powered equipment (chainsaws, lawn mowers, hedge trimmers etc.) has gone into effect yet, and if so, how’s it working out? Its gotta be hard on the landscapers.
As I drive around, I still see mostly gas-powered lawn mowers and edgers in the back of beat-up old ford trucks.
I suspect most people are going to ignore the ridiculous mandates for as long as possible.
I know someone who sat down and figured out exactly how many incandescent light bulbs he thought he would need to last the rest of his life and went out and bought them.
People don’t like being told what to buy and then being forced to buy inferior products just because and if there is any wiggle room they will take it and run with it as long as possible.
Ok thanks.
Talk about too little/too late gas guzzlin? Not much of a solution, but hey – 30-40 miles in circles… The Mag 7!
Benr,
They will double down. When an omelet is to be made, eggs must be broken.
Piece of wisdom: Sometimes you have to not break some eggs if you want an omelette. Why? Simple; because you need the chickens to lay the eggs to them break to make the omelettes.
…To say nothing of the chicken recipes, maybe after they live a little to eat the bugs and whatnot like the parasites that can attack us as well, like ticks. Is Lyme disease still a thing by the way?
Zaz,
…No omelette for you…ONE YEAR!
benr, lots of implicit and explicit assumptions, etc., to unpack there. But I have to step out shortly…
For now, off the cuff. I’ll just say that what passes for an ‘economy’ is actually more of a pseudoeconomy that shouldn’t exist anyway. You want to say bullshit often? Ok, let me join you: I call bullshit on the ‘economy’. I say, ‘pseudoeconomy’ because it’s wasteful and not frugal. Also, life can’t be commodified. Land can’t be commodified. Doesn’t work.
Lastly, if as you say, ‘families are struggling’, and I have no reason to disagree, maybe it’s just as well that they are increasingly less able to afford ordering out/in and that some businesses fold where they cannot meet a society that is changing before their eyes.
Bonne journée.

Hilarious.
i bet they’ll be charged with a hate crime
With Mike Johnson proving his bonafides, they can get rid of Joe and Kamala now. President Johnson is on the way.
Also with Trump betraying his base by supporting Johnson and the votes in the House on wars and FISA, there is no hope there. Any way you turn the Micmat is in control.
lol, i agree with your last sentence but otherwise MJ is nothing but a quisling
The smaller more timid the man, the better for them.
@Jimpa
Trump is an asshole, I’m glad I was never a believer in his BS. I wonder what his base think of him now…. Some of those people come off as worshipers of the man. So you rarely hear them say anything negative about him. People here have mentioned how we all have flaws, including Trump. And this is true, we do all have flaws…But some of these flaws are unacceptable…Lying, manipulation, misleading people, betrayal, back stabbing, That’s Trump, the guy can’t be trusted.
Garland Nixon speculates that Trump did his 180 because of the lawfare bind they have him in.
Remember that the judge in one kangaroo court fined him an outrageous sum (for a victimless “crime” that isn’t actually a crime), and then for some reason lowered it, and then suddenly Trump had the money to pay for it.
Garland speculates that this was a “Now you need to do us a favor” deal, with the threat that they will raise the loot demanded again, if Trump refused.
Makes sense to me. The system is corrupt, and that is how they do.
i’m receiving mixed signals so personally the jury is still out. The other day MJ said that Trump completely approved of what he did and Trump clapped back that no one speaks for him. There’s also some people saying that just because Trump said “well maybe we could do a loan” MJ and Ms. Graham and others took that to mean Trump was fully supporting the Ukraine bill. Trump also made it very clear that FISA is totally awful. Clearly the palace is full of intrigue and people are keep things close to their vests and poly pockets.

They’re not giving up on affirmative action. Outlawing it won’t stop the culture and industry that has been created. Just call it something different and keep going. Or don’t call it anything but get the race of applicant and go from there. Applicants are coached to include direct or indirect references to their race.
Dopey Christian Whites thought if they acted nice and helped their dark brother the Darks would forgive him. Nothing doing! The Darks smell blood and are coming in for the kill.
The Dopes don’t understand human nature. The more we did for them, the more they hated us. It just confirmed how far about them we were. How lowly they were.
we should explore that lowly thing more. Doing a deep dive can help us undermine them. My personal opinion is that they do enjoy tormenting those they perceive internally to be better than them. But the true achilles heel may be that in the end they are almost entirely materialistic. The personal gain and accrual of wealth is paramount. Take that away and the tormenting only goes so far. ?
Well yes. My favorite Amren post of all time: You enemies understand you far better than you understand yourselves and use it to great effect against you.
Most people can’t be good and poor. Modern Whites are terrible at it since we have the lost tradition of being so – which usually includes strong faith. If they can completely impoverish us, they have won. Sorry to say, but it’s the truth.
I’m afraid it’ll be a long time before such broken Whites can reach the level of the Afghans and Viet Cong. But maybe we have to lose all before we can start to climb again.
Likely they’ll be different groups with different levels of adaptation. If online commenting is any measure of anything out in the real world it seems like there is a sizable chunk of whites that are already at the Afghan/Viet Cong level but they lack the organization and leadership structure. Not sure but just seems that way.
You’re right, Dreamy. There are many with the will of the Mujahideen and the Viet Cong – never to be defeated in their own country – and while we may not prevail outright, we will never be defeated – an asymmetric war of attrition, but command structure – even loosely – helps in the long run.
Mostly fat guys playing with guns. Some? Ok. Not many.
The Central State is still too powerful. As it grows crazier, it weakens. And as life gets harder, people will harden. So long term? Maybe. But much/most of America is gone for us permanently.
wow, i’m getting positive and negative feedback! my hope is there is a middle ground
Life is hard
And so am I
You’d better give me something
So I don’t die
It just confirmed how far about them we were. – Jar

Let me say just this: So very few here have no sense of what’s really happening. I give kudos to those who see reality – unfortunately, not too many. Marlin for one, benr for another. Thank you for unequivocally taking Israel’s side. I appreciate it. I trust Paula because she is smart enough to understand reality.
I’m pro-Israel, not just because I’m Jewish. I’ve directly experienced unreasoned prejudice. I’ve been physically attacked because of my religious beliefs. I’ve had to defend myself with violence. I know people who have been shot at and killed. I know Israelis who’ve been hated for no good reason by their neighbors. This prejudice is extremely mind-fucking. I despise it.
Nobody’s perfect but some posters here are unremitting haters. We know who you are. Their overriding qualities are ignorance and lack of intelligence. That’s all I got to say for now.
You’re funny, Bill. Everyone experiences discrimination at some point and everybody knows that whites are the dalits of the US corporation racial caste system. With that being said i empathize with your experiences and feelings. You are an American so you shouldn’t really be worried about Israel one way or another, at least that’s how i perceive it. i’m sure you’ll correct me.
SSL, sorry to say, you’re way off base.
tell me where i went wrong
@SoftStarLight
Here, let me show you the error of your ways:
1. “So very few here have no sense of what’s really happening”
(we’ll skip the old man’s double negative). The “very few who have a sense” are those who are aware that once a year, a few Israelis are killed in acts of terrorism.
The fact in a given year (pre-October 07), Israelis kill anywhere from dozens to hundreds to thousands of Palestinians, well, that’s deliberately ignored. It’s OK when Israel does it, because “Israelis are not terrorists”. They wear usually wear military uniforms, or police, or occasionally civilians.
2. ” I give kudos to those who see reality – unfortunately, not too many. Marlin for one, benr for another. Thank you for unequivocally taking Israel’s side. I appreciate it. I trust Paula because she is smart enough to understand reality.”
If you don’t agree that Israel is justified in occupying other people’s land, taking their water, detaining without cause, and killing, them, you are not smart, you are dumb. Got it?
3. “I’m pro-Israel, not just because I’m Jewish. I’ve directly experienced unreasoned prejudice. I’ve been physically attacked because of my religious beliefs. I’ve had to defend myself with violence. I know people who have been shot at and killed. I know Israelis who’ve been hated for no good reason by their neighbors. This prejudice is extremely mind-fucking. I despise it.”
THIS one is the gem! If we replace “Jew” with “Arab”, the statement would be much true–in 2024. This is not 1934.
4. “Nobody’s perfect but some posters here are unremitting haters. We know who you are. Their overriding qualities are ignorance and lack of intelligence. That’s all I got to say for now.”
Yes, those who state the unvarnished truth are haters. Because the truth is ugly.
The mainstream media, and some people here fixate on how bad Hamas is, including the hostages Hamas took.
The fact that there are thousands (8,9,10?) of Palestinians in Israeli jails, most arbitrarily detain without charge–well, only a hater would have the unmitigated gall this out.
They deplore Hamas’ methods–yet no one ever mentions that the Irgun and Stern Gang used even more deplorable methods to expel 700,000 Palestinians in 1947/1948 to create Israel in the first place.
Yes, beantownbill likes to play the “anti-semite” card. He uses the term “haters”, but it’s the same principle level at anyone who is not a rabid Zionist. Pat Buchanan comes to mind.
And in fairness to old Bill, he’s not alone. Some people here agree with him, and certainly the people in power do.
Israel is the only society to portray itself as a victim, while it victimizes another people.
This works in squelching honest discussion about things such as the role of big capital in Zionism; the role of the Israeli lobby in US politics. No one likes to discuss this.
SSL, I hope this helped.
@sd
You assume that everything you have posted is actually the truth.
How do you know it is?
Because someone somewhere has told you and you choose to believe?
Guess what they also have an agenda.
“It is the function of mass agitation to exploit all the grievances, hopes, aspirations, prejudices, fears, and ideals of all the special groups that make up our society, social, religious, economic, racial, political. Stir them up. Set one against the other. Divide and conquer. That’s the way to soften up a democracy.”? J. Edgar Hoover, Masters of Deceit.
Keep playing that nice little Marxist playbook.
I know Israelis who’ve been hated for no good reason by their neighbors.
If running an apartheid concentration camp ghetto for decades is not a good reason, what is?
OG,
Have you ever visited Israel? If not, unless you know someone who intimately has been involved with Israelis, you’re just going on what you read, not fact.
you’re just going on what you read
Bill, where I come from, that’s called “research.”
Similarly, I knew that Vancouver has rainy long before I ever got there.
Reading’s good. One can learn a lot from reading.
***
Surely you are not saying that Gaza is not “an apartheid concentration camp ghetto,” are you?
@ beantownbill:
We’ve all experienced injustice, prejudice, and discrimination of one kind or another.
The difference between me and the Jews is that I have never demanded to be compensated for this with a big chunk of real estate, the right to kill and expel said real estate’s current residents, a $3-$4 billion per year stipend paid by US citizens, and the presumed right to wage a war of extermination against my neighbors.
And, by the way, it is the people who wage wars of extermination who are the “haters.” And my guess is that, if you have experienced physical violence and know all these people who have been shot at and killed, you experienced this in Israel amidst the kind of low-level warfare common in certain areas. Basically, just about everyone who decides to wander around dangerous areas, such as the South Side of Chicago, or the West Bank in Israel, is likely to encounter unpleasantries. You probably don’t even have to be Jewish.
@ beantownbill:
I am continually annoyed by people who believe they’re entitled engage in criminal behavior (such as genocide), and entitled to special treatment, and entitled to take other people’s money and possessions, because they’ve experienced prejudice, hatred, violence, the threat of violence, or injustice.
Heck, I’ve been threatened with violence–held at knife-point, as a matter of fact. A guy once threatened to kill me, so I made plans to defend myself. I’ve experienced unreasoned prejudice on more than one occasion. I know people who’ve been the victims of violence. So your claims of having suffered sound to me like some pretty weak sauce.
These experiences are common, even among people who have generally led very sheltered lives. One of my old friends (a wealthy woman) once had to flee Corpus Christi for her life, when she discovered that her employer was engaged in drug-dealing and money laundering.
The rest of us–who have been mugged, had our lives threatened, or suffered the supposed trauma of being disliked or treated unfairly by somebody–don’t go around claiming the right to commit genocide and collect reparations.
Life is tough. You’re not exempt beause you’re Jewish. Plus the whining is unbecoming.
On the contrary, OG, Israel scientists are at the forefront of many technological/medical advances, including most recently unobtrusive methods of detecting some forms of cancer.
– Heckler
It is not mutually exclusive, Heckler.
Just as “American” can mean both hard-working farmers feeding us and hooded gangbangers terrorizing us and looting/burning our stores, Israel has scientists doing good work and Satanists committing evil child sex-trafficking, organ-harvesting and andrenochrome production.
All four are true.
Boom

The world moves closes to Midnight. Didn’t Putin say, Don’t? But they did.
Nuclear war makes sense given their big depopulation plans. But what about the radiation? Are they planning to live underground for several decades at least? The radiation will make its way throughout the planet making places even far away in the Southern Hemisphere unlivable.
@SoftStarLight
What’s even worse is that there isn’t anyone trying to do anything to prevent this.
i’m not completely sure about that. Seems like there is a lot that is unseen, and what can be seen is often not trustworthy.
Stop talking truth – they will just ignore U.
The more i hear about nuclear war the more depressed I get….I just wish someone would kill all these people already…The ones starting all of this.
And who is starting all this? And how do you know?
@BeanTownbill
Honestly, I don’t know…Whom ever don’t know when to quit. This whole Ukraine nonsense appears to be something that isn’t going to end until the dumb imbeciles running our country get what they want. I don’t see any end to it really if they are stationing missiles in Ukraine with the intent to attack Russia with them.
But I’m going to go and lay down for awhile, my goddamn head is killing me today. Didn’t even sleep well at all last night.
Yeah if ONLY you could get the sociopaths immediately – haha!!!
“Russia tested a new missile last week that has many concerned that this is a new supersonic version of a nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on April 12th, 2024, that is capable of attacking NATO and the USA undetected.”
Russia Tests an Undetectable Supersonic ICBM
armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/war/russia-tests-an-undetectable-supersonic-icbm/
Is this just chest thumping, or do we finally get to see what toys these boys have?
All the Arab princes know that Israel will make them toast if they mount a full on attack. Those billionaire oil jockeys ain’t gonna risk ditching their lifestyle for that.The Lamborghini boys don’t give a rats ass about Hamas etc.
Yeah, the Lamborghini Boys were pretty happy when Fatah and Hamas battled it out for Supremacy in Gaza 2002-2007, hoping the two terror factions would finish each other off. The struggle still goes on, a war within a war, altho a ‘frozen conflict’ right now. It was a dirty war, characterized by assassination, ambush, hostage taking, kidnappings, and roadside bombs.
In fact the only people who gives a ‘rat’s ass’ for Hamas are Ivy League college students — who seem to be balls-in for the Intifada — and a few embittered posters on CFNation.
The college semester end in a few weeks and most Ivy Leaguers will be headed to their staffer jobs at DNC headquarters, or at LBGQT outreach centers in their hometown elementary schools, thus bringing to an end the big Student Rebellion 2024.
For the record: I am not embittered. Rather, I am opposed to apartheid concentration-camp ghettos and genocide on moral grounds.
Have you ever been to Gaza, Heckler?
The Man They Call Zazelle April 25, 2024 at 2:53 pm:
Furry Feedback-Loop
“That’s why the simple act of making the right choice of a partner is so important.” ~ MrMangoOnMyShoulder
—
If that’s one’s goal, a potential problem for it can come when one ‘prices’ themselves and their hypothetical partner out of the market.
That’s part of the gist of it when I wrote, “Seems the women who Jarek is complaining about are the Jarek women.”…
Paradoxically perhaps, having an unrealistic, uncompromising and/or inordinately-critical standard for a partner and/or their sex in general can risk cratering one’s own value in a prospective partner’s eyes.
So it would seem mutually and/or self-reinforcing and where the potential ultimate result is celibacy. Sound familiar? Anyone we know?
—-
“I wear what I see as your myriad problems like a furry costume.” ~ Jarek (hypothetically uttered to hypothetical partner)
Odysseus, that myriad minded man. Or Clarence Oddbody, angel 2nd class, deceased member of the Odd Fellow’s Lodge.
Nathan chooses Clarence. Zaz chooses a subjective hermeneutic:
We only see ourselves. Thus no objective knowledge is possible. Just put on furry costume of your choice and act out your role.
If you choose to summarise orthodox Christian belief with the figurehead of Clarence Oddbody, that’s up to you. I haven’t seen the movie, and don’t trust Hollywood to accurately portray Christianity. Hollywood usually comes up with some bumbling comedic stereotype of Papacy (or maybe the Anglican offshoot if a British film production) whenever they want to portray Christianity.
As a Reformed Baptist, I didn’t choose Clarence. God chose me. I love Him because He first loved me. Because He chose me to be in Him before the foundation of the world.
Furthermore, our economy is falling apart. Forget for a moment about having a senile, dumb president. No one in power wants to do anything about what’s happening economically. If you’re smart, you will be preparing for the hard times coming. This summer may be the last chance to prepare.
@BeanTownbill
Do what? I don’t see what anyone can do…Even if you get rid of Biden, who else do you have? A lying bastard name Trump? The economy may be falling apart but I don’t see a lot of panic either. Everything we’re dealing with is intentional…The wars, the failing economy, the invasion of the border….You can pretty much do all of this when you are aware that the masses won’t throw a brick at your face for hurting them.
Sure they were all protesting and acting like tools over some loser asshole dying in 2020…But they don’t care about the economy faltering. Here in California homelessness seems like something people are perfectly okay with….I use to think the homeless would commit a lot of crimes because of their situation, but instead it’s people who still have a place to live going into the stores stealing out of them, the homeless rather dig in the trash…If you look up video footage on youtube “flashmobs” the majority of those people have a home to go to, and none of them look homeless. You would think that the people on the street would be invading homes and stealing out of stores, but they aren’t.
Just wait. Soon they will. Best to accumulate camping supplies so if you have to, you can skedaddle out of Dodge and wait outdoors for order to eventually be restored, which it will.
Some of them are mostly alcohol and if they can reach them cigarettes.
The local Vons grocery store in Tierrasanta lost almost a million in Alcohol theft to homeless people stealing the alcohol to sell to high school kids according to the then manager of the store.
The fix was to lock it all up behind plexiglass and now one must wait for a clerk to open it up and carry it over to the register for you.
I asked why they did not just hire a couple of local bruisers and pay them cash to crack some skulls for a few weeks.
This loss happened in just short of six months.
Remember old, hardworking Seth? Since it’s NFL draft day he requested that I once again put things into perspective regarding rapacious capitalism and the obscene excess of corporate sports.
Seth makes around $50,000 a year. In twenty years, he’ll have made a million. Poor old Seth will have to work 1,000 years to match the $50 million that some NFL players ‘earn’ in just ONE year.
Minimum wage, minimum rage, just turn the page, stay in your cage. It’s the good ole U$A.
And now you can gamble, add to corporate wealth, from your phone.
I just over-mortgaged my house at 120% equity. I’m betting it all on the Chicago Bears winning the next superbowl.
I’ll make that 50 million look like peanuts.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell makes $1 million PER WEEK.!
He’s THE MAN.
I know this isn’t important, but tonight might be one of the last chances to discuss something other than TEOTWAWKI. It’s the NFL draft. Is anyone interested? I think Q is. What say you Q?
Yes, I’m sure I will tune in. I see the Giants get the 6th pick and the Jets the 10th. Kansas City picks last.
There’s this guy David Pecker being cross-examined in the Trump trial. If I were doing the questioning here is how it would have begun:
Q. Shtik: Mr. Pecker, have you ever considered changing your name to Picker, or Peck, or maybe even Smith, I mean given the opportunities for…
Crowd erupts in laughter
Council for Pecker: OBJECTION!!
Crowd laughs
Judge: Sustained!
Q. Shtik: I withdraw my question regarding the unfortunate last name of Pecker.
Crowd laughs again.
Lol oh Q. Mr. Pecker’s nom de plume is part of the movie. Or if one is arguing that a lot of this is a movie that man’s name is not helping lol.
A legal analyst is speaking on MSNBC as we speak. Light is shining off what appears to be a dribble of snot under his left nostril. Don’t the show’s producers have a way of telling a guest contributor, “wipe the snot from under your nose; it is detracting from your credibility.”
y’all the doom porn is cracking them eggs. i need a full dose of cautious, careful hope. no worries, i don’t need cope, i see the mongols at the gate but i also see Dmitry just over the hill opposite. i have a tent and i don’t know how to set it up lol so i’m at the mercy of the Lord
and the middle doesn’t have to be lukewarm any way. it’s a case by case sitch
Is the NFL having their slave action tonight?
Will you guys be admiring the loins of those bad boys?
Will these NFL stars pay your bills or tutor your kids?
I guess after high school you didn’t make much of your life!
Hiint…this is why you piss and moan about the state of the nation. I know, you have your priorities!
slave ACTION
Sorry..AUCTION!!
Ban the flag on ball players uniforms.
‘, Israel is a small country, smaller than New Jersey. Israelis just want to live in peace i.e. not being attacked by Hamas or Hezbollah. Israel is not a threat to anybody, if left alone. Another thing is the World seems to have forgotten the Holocaust; rest assured Israelis have not.’
/ I couldnt disagree more.
Theres the Sampson Option.
The aid USA pays them.
The dual citizens in house senate etc.
How many Israelis live in USA? why are they here.
As an Iranian once said to me
‘with all the blood shed to create n have Israel, why dont they stay there?’
ANYONE FOLLOWED THE BECKY GROSSMAN TRIAL?
She killed [accidentally] 2 mid eastern heritage boys.
at her trial, found guilty and beckys spawn screamed at jury–how could you do this?
the family is or was uber riche. I hope the parents of the 2 dead get that bling.
I’m watching the football draft on ABC. One of the four talking heads offering their commentary is a black guy. I heard him make reference to the NF Ale.
Be thankful I can’t hear how y’all pronounce words and letters.
If you were the 6th pick in the first round would you walk to the stage while chewing gum with your mouth open. That’s what Malik Nabers did when chosen by the Giants.
It’s the 13% we finance!!
They just aren’t faster than a speeding bullet!!
Nightly news proves this!
Testosterone & swagger. It’s his balls and his confidence that resulted in his being chosen 6th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Wide receivers especially for some reason or another.

I am very surprised that among the first 20 draft picks none have been named Jalen and none have an apostrophe in their name. That is truly unusual.

Who is we? Do you remember? Our home sank beneath the waves. In a certain sense indeed, Neanderthals had iphones. And now they’re buried a mile beneath the ice. Most of the history we are told isn’t real. That’s because you can never understand who you are if you don’t know who you were or where you came from. And that is how some elohim wish it to be.
