In this universe of paradox, inequity, ironies, and fake-outs one strange actuality stands above the rest these days: that the much-reviled President Trump was on the right side of RussiaGate, and the enormous mob of America’s Thinking Class was on the wrong side — and by such a shocking margin of error that they remain in a horrified fugue of outrage and reprisal, apparently unaware that consequences await.

Granted, there’s a lot to not like about Mr. Trump: his life of maximum privilege in a bubble of grifticious wealth; his shady career in the sub-swamp of New York real estate; his rough, garbled, and childlike manner of speech; his disdain of political decorum, his lumbering bellicosity, his apparently near-total lack of education, and, of course, the mystifying hair-doo. His unbelievable luck in winning the 2016 election can only be explained by the intervention of some malign cosmic force — a role assigned to the Russians. At least that’s how Mr. Trump’s antagonists engineered The Narrative that they have now quadrupled down on.

To make matters worse, this odious President happens to be on the right side of several other political quarrels of the day, at least in terms of principle, however awkwardly he presents it. The Resistance, which is to say the same Thinking Class groomed in the Ivy League and apprenticed in official leadership, has dug in on the idiotic policy position of a de facto open border with Mexico, and embellished that foolish idea with such accessory stupidities as sanctuary cities and free college tuition for non-citizens. Their arguments justifying these positions are wholly sentimental — they’re stuffing little children in cages! — masking a deep undercurrent of dishonesty and cynical opportunism — not to mention putting themselves at odds with the rule-of-law itself.

During the 2016 election campaign, Mr. Trump often averred to forging better relations with Russia. The previous administration had meddled grotesquely in Ukrainian politics, among other things, and scuttled the chance to make common cause with Russia in areas of shared self-interest, for instance, in opposing worldwide Islamic terrorism. This was apparently too much for the US War Lobby, who needed a Russian boogeyman to keep the gravy train of weaponry and profitable interventionist operations chugging along, even if it meant arming Islamic State warriors who were blowing up US troops. Being falsely persecuted from before day one of his term for “collusion with Russia,” Mr. Trump apparently found it necessary to go along with antagonizing Russia via sanctions and bluster, as if to demonstrate he never was “Putin’s Puppet.”

Meanwhile, by some strange process of psychological alchemy, the Thinking Class assigned Islamic radicals to their roster of sacred victims of oppression — so that now it’s verboten to mention them in news reports whenever some new slaughter of innocents is carried out around the world, or to complain about their hostility to Western Civ as a general proposition. Two decades after the obscene 9/11 attacks, the new Democratic Party controlled congress has apparently decided that it’s better to make common cause with Islamic Radicalism than with a Russia that is, in actuality, no longer the Soviet Union but rather just another European nation trying to make it through the endgame of the industrial age, like everybody else.

The Thinking Class behind the bad faith Resistance is about to be beaten within an inch of its place in history with an ugly-stick of reality as The Narrative finally comes to be fairly adjudicated. The Mueller Report was much more than just disappointing; it was a comically inept performance insofar as it managed to overlook the only incidence of collusion that actually took place: namely, the disinfo operation sponsored by the Hillary Clinton campaign in concert with the highest officials of the FBI, the Department of Justice, State Department personnel, the various Intel agencies, and the Obama White house for the purpose of interfering in the 2016 election. It will turn out that the Mueller Investigation was just an extension of that felonious op, and Mr. Mueller himself may well be subject to prosecution for destroying evidence and, yes, obstruction of justice.

John F. Kennedy once observed that “life is unfair.” It is unfair, perhaps, that a TV Reality Show huckster, clown, and rank outsider beat a highly credentialed veteran of the political establishment and that he flaunts his lack of decorum in the Oval Office. But it happens that he was on the side of the truth in the RussiaGate farrago and that happens to place him in a position of advantage going forward.

    A worthy article by Mike Davis about Trump:

    The Great God Trump and the White Working Class — The political and social war that is now inevitable in the United States could shape the character of the rest of the century.

    • Ol' Scratch April 26, 2019 at 10:55 am #

      Hopefully for the better. It was long overdue either way.

          From SBPLD

          I was in a place where I was forced to watch espn this morning.
          Apparently, yet another star black football player was suspended for beating the crap out of his three year old son. The black loudmouth commentator Stephen A. Smith at least condemned the act (instead of claiming “you don’t understand our culture” as some others have with many of the previous similar incidents). However, Smith went on to claim that what bothered him the most is that this helps breath life into the “false narrative” that black fathers are violent and/or delinquent. He even claimed that most black fathers were even better fathers than other those of other races because they were “starting behind the eight ball as oppressed people”.
          What was funny was the (I think) Freudian slip he kept making when referring to the child abuse committed by the black athlete. He kept calling it “representative behavior” and having to correct himself to say “reprehensible behavior”.

          • Cameras to Airport Scanners, Technology Has a Race Problem….Awwww.. say it isn’t so…
          Even machines don’t think they are human.
          When Nikon’s S630 digital camera was released in 2010, customers soon realized it had a hard time “reading” Asian faces. The device couldn’t detect Asian eyes, so it would prompt users to stop blinking or squinting in order to take the perfect picture.
          A few years later, Google faced intense backlash when its photo software, which is used on everything from computers to phones, categorized Black people as “gorillas.” In 2017, a joint study by the University of Toronto and MIT found Amazon’s AI software had a hard time recognizing and identifying non-white faces. ..

          And earlier this month, ProPublica reported that full-body scanners at American airports “are prone to false alarms for hairstyles popular among women of color”—like braids and dreadlocks. (Travellers who wear turbans or wigs also face a higher rate of false alarms.)

    Blowback Is a Harsh Mistress. The globe smasher won’t like what I have on my webpage. My own ball.

    Granted, there’s a lot to not like about Mr. Trump: his life of maximum privilege in a bubble of grifticious wealth; his shady career in the sub-swamp of New York real estate; his rough, garbled, and childlike manner of speech; his disdain of political decorum, his lumbering bellicosity, his apparently near-total lack of education, and, of course, the mystifying hair-doo.

    Thank you for that.

    My ball has a few pings like the ‘Ukrainian one’ with long lifetimes. (Oh how deep the narrative does go!) They test pings, which were real. I only extended their timestamps so they would live longer, should expire about 11 AM my time.

    disinfo operation sponsored by the Hillary Clinton campaign in concert with the highest officials of the FBI, the Department of Justice, State Department personnel, the various Intel agencies, and the Obama White house for the purpose of interfering in the 2016 election.

    She had the connections to do it.

    But it happens that he was on the side of the truth in the RussiaGate farrago and that happens to place him in a position of advantage going forward.

        Hi, K-Dog! I was happy to see you respond to me on Monday, but I never got around to expressing my appreciation for your comments until now. You wished me, a fellow “green,” a happy Earth Day. I return the favor today, wishing you a happy Arbor Day. I also wish to thank you for your invitation to look at your “ball” on your blog.

        I remember Lemuria – in this case Bob Heinlein’s “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress”

        Bob was wrong about so many things, but he lived in the era of optimism where is was easy to be. He reviled anti-War hippies, but became a swinger, at least in his fantasies. Even swung to believing that the border with Mexico should be abolished. What unspeakable folly unworthy of a man of his IQ.

  3. Exscotticus April 26, 2019 at 10:20 am #

    Dems who still believe in Russiagate are like Republicans who still believe in WMDs in Iraq.

    • Farmer Joe April 26, 2019 at 12:04 pm #

      I know a guy who was in Iraq and who was responsible for guarding the WMDs at one point when they were being removed by U.S. forces. He said they went to Syria and that they were being used in the civil war there. It’s weird how major news sources say one thing, but the boots on the ground say something completely different…. Makes me wonder what’s real any more.

      • Exscotticus April 26, 2019 at 1:24 pm #

        For certain Iraq developed and used WMDs. And we knew this even before the 1990 Gulf War, when the USA was palsy-walsy with Saddam.

        The problem is that Bush et. al. claimed that Saddam was pursuing nuclear weapons. And the alleged proof? False reports that Iraq tried to buy additional yellowcake from Niger, and the infamous “aluminum tubes” that can allegedly only be used for enrichment.

        Saddam never had a nuclear bomb, a dirty bomb, or even the enriched fissionable material needed to make such bombs. Nor is there any evidence that Saddam was pursuing any of this around the 9/11 timeframe.

        • Farmer Joe April 26, 2019 at 2:48 pm #

          Got it. Thanks for helping to clear that up.

        • marcyincny April 26, 2019 at 2:53 pm #

          Are you sure they had to develop weapons? It’s my understanding the US/allies supplied Iraq with the stuff they were using in their war with Iran in the 80’s and there were stockpiles left afterwards.

          • Exscotticus April 26, 2019 at 3:53 pm #

            Plausible. After all, there’s nothing we accused Saddam of in this regard that we haven’t done ourselves. What is nuking Japan, after all, but a use of WMDs? It saved America lives for sure, but those two things are not mutually exclusive. Doubtless Saddam argued that using chemical weapons saved Iraqi lives.

            Whether it’s nukes or Napalm or Agent Orange or white phosphorus munitions or depleted uranium munitions—the USA develops and uses WMDs all the time. When we use them, we don’t call them WMDs.

        • benr April 28, 2019 at 5:30 pm #

          Yea except hundreds of tons of yellowcake were in fact exported to Canada it is getting tough to find the data as it is being scrubbed but was widely reported at the time.
          http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/07/07/iraq.uranium/

          Even the CIA used double speak to says they found no WMD in Iraq after the infamous convoy to Syria but then said “small amount of weaponized WMD” found plus hundreds of tons of dual use precursor were also found. Hell Saddam used mustard gas on the KURDS.
          Additionally a huge amount of specialized high explosive went missing!
          You can spin it all you want but the truth is not what our government said nor the anti-Bush types. There is a reason this was all hidden from view they did not want people combing through the sands looking for it all.
          Another report stated stock piles of stuff got burned it set off wmd detectors and the man had stock piles of everything from surplus WW1 to present day if it shot or exploded he bought it.

          • Exscotticus April 29, 2019 at 10:08 am #

            Saddam was indeed pursuing nukes, and did indeed have yellowcake, but that we decades prior to 9/11. All evidence indicates that he stopped pursuing nukes well before we started claiming that he was. That is why the claim was that Saddam was trying to acquire additional yellowcake. We already knew he had yellowcake left over from years back.

            Yellowcake is not enriched, and can’t be used to make a bomb or even a dirty bomb.

    Excellent analysis, Jim. Unfortunately, the Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers in this forum will learn nothing from your insights. As usual, they will cluck their tongues, wondering aloud “How could JHK be so blind? How could he not see things the way we do?”

    They remind me of the New Testament demoniacs who screamed hysterically at the approach of Jesus Christ. They can’t help themselves; it’s in their nature. Perhaps it’s the role they are damned to play.

      Also, Joe Biden, now that he’s declared his candidacy for pres, is going to have some serious ‘splainin to do, seeing as how his family is neck deep in very lucrative business contracts with Ukraine.

      It is sweet, is it not?

      • Ol' Scratch April 26, 2019 at 10:42 am #

        Uncle Joe has to be breathtakingly naive as he prepares to wade in chest deep to the political cesspool that Obama, HRC, and he left behind. Should make for a great political season watching him learn to like eating his own shit. With opponents like the Dems, why even bother holding elections?

      • hmuller April 26, 2019 at 10:44 am #

        And with the Mueller report clearing Trump, Hillary decides that means it’s time to call for his impeachment. Say what???

        These guilty swamp creatures are now more nervous than a boy scout lost on Brokeback Mountain.

        Which brings us to Pete Booty-Gigglely-Gigglely for President, who possibly offers us the first First Lady with a full package; (the jury is still out on Michael Obama).

They can’t get a decent above board job. The ones I know for the most part are very skilled in the trades and have to work under the table so they contribute not a penny to the income tax scam. However they are deathly afraid of needing medical care. I have ins. from my years on the job. If I break a leg the ins. pays x amount and the hospital takes it. If uninsured Joe Schmoe breaks a leg and needs a screw the hospital will bill him till the end of his life for whatever, maybe $100,000.00. He and his leg are literally screwed!

      • Exscotticus April 26, 2019 at 10:45 am #

        I’m rather surprised Biden wasn’t the subject of today’s polyblog. I guess JHK’s still pondering the implications.

          One needs to follow the arc of a plot that has only reached its apex. Heading to the nadir, or touch-down, is the undoubtedly corrupt DNC’s, evil Clinton Inc.’s, and criminal Obama admin’s last gambit: whitey (not mighty)-Joe’s last run.

          Only with his campaign and/or his victory can they possibly keep a lid on all their crimes leading up to the 2016 election, and all their meddling in the Ukraine.

          This white privilege play, vis-à-vis, the same “handler” they used to keep leery white folks onboard their campaign to elect an aspirational mixed-race minstrel, has again demonstrated that when the chips are down, one can sidestep the margin players and margin options (minorities, women, gays, ethnic types) they use to ensure that their lily-white *sses stay in power, and in this instance, out of the clink.

          The people don’t want him, but they want him.

          The same people that wanted her over Bernie.

          How quickly people forget. Not surprisingly, but quickly.

          Biden’s decision to run is excellent news for Trump. He will likely not be the nominee but he will cement the split within the Donkey Party. The Ukie shennanigans may serve as fodder but as the March “touch” troubles show, the following of Bernie, Warren, Pete the Butt, AOC, Booker, etc. will not allow Joe to get the nod. His plagiarism incident will be exhumed, and Anita Hill already told him she will not forgive him. He’ll flame out, probably early.

      Microchip implants for currency take off in Sweden

      By: NBC News
      Updated: Dec 26, 2018 11:07 PM EST

      STOCKHOLM, Sweden (NBC News) – Thousands of people in Sweden have opted to trade in their ID and credit cards for tiny microchips implanted underneath their skin.

      The chips, which use near-field communication technology, take the place of key cards, rail cards and credit cards. They are typically the size of a grain of rice and are implanted just under the skin between the thumb and forefinger.

      So many Swedes are lining up to get the microchips that the country’s main chipping company can’t keep up with demand.

      https://www.nbc4i.com/news/local-news/microchip-implants-for-currency-take-off-in-sweden/1676061433

      ==================

      I wonder how Christians, or former Christians believe this relates to REV 13:16-18.

      Personally, I’m not surprised it would be the Swedes. It seems like they’ll try anything in the name of “progress.”

      • Janos Skorenzy April 26, 2019 at 1:16 pm #

        People love to be on the “cutting edge”, so cool and happening, no matter how deep the wound will turn out to be in the end.

        The chip – or any number of them – will do far more than that eventually. It will be an ID, a tracker, a computer inteface, etc. And yes, without it you will be “unscanbable” (Idiocracy), a Pariah, unable to “buy and sell” (Revelations).

        As for the Swedish “Mark of the Beast,” this is just more religious, caramel coated, poppycock and claptrap. Believing in that fairy tale stuff will get you about as far as believing that the Deep State is in trouble and that GGG is actually winning. This dipshit is becoming more Nixonian by the minute and his story will end badly, even though you love him like he loves Kim Jong Un.

        Have any of you read the Mueller Report? I have read every f#$king word including the appendices, and this GGG schmuck is a menace to any society, left, right or center. He will not be re-elected, that I f$*king guarantee you. Even the Republicans are starting to turn on this POS.

        Run on promises, right?

        -The Wall, where is it? Millions of undocumented flowing into the USA.
        -Run on the economy? Right. Ask the flyover Rubes how they like this economy, tariffs and all. Or do you think they are still willing to get shat on and still vote for the conman? They are dumb, but that is a bridge too far, even for Flyover Rubes.
        -Great health care, where is it? Non-existent.
        -The midwest and other assorted Rustbelt locales repopulated with factories-a-plenty, where are they? Non-existent.
        -Deutsche Bank turning over financials yesterday. Wake-up soon please.
        -More subpoenas that you can shake a penis, er, stick at. Do you believe the corrupt Dems will just let him ignore their handiwork? If you do, you really don’t understand the Deep State.
        -He lost the popular vote by 3,000,000 and got trounced in the mid-terms, a sure sign of things to come
        -Run on tax cuts for the wealthy? Please, even the Rubes know that was a sucker deal!
        -Trump = Honest Abe? Right, tell us something a 5 year old would believe, but some Rubes DO believe it, Ha!
        -If you’ll take the time to read Mueller’s tome, you’ll see it is a blueprint for Impeachment, nothing more, nothing less.
        -You foolish Rubes should beg for Impeachment, because if Orange isn’t impeached, one of the new Democratic Presidents (sooner or later) is going to bend you guys over, and there will be no stopping it.
        -JHK has this whole thing BASS ACKWARDS, I’m really sorry to tell you. Trump beating the DEEP STATE has about as much chance as Jesus beating Pontius Pilate and the Jewish Mullahs. Not going to happen…. gurantfuckingteed. I don’t know when Jim’s thinking became so muddled, but you will see in the not too distant future that I am correct and Jimbo is very wrong.

        Anyway, it’s been nice to “see” you all, but not that nice. I’ll leave Jim and ya’ll to your delusions.

        By the way, I know of one business owner who has done business with GGG and the Orangone tried to stiff him when the bill came due. He finally got the money by threatening to go to the FAKE NEWS! True story.

        In parting, please wise-up for your own good! Later.

It was all just a song and a dance and the Leftists disgraced themselves as they always do by shimmying down to it. Elrond has no doubts. And of course no Leftist female does. That’s why they’re so good at demonstrations: absolute belief. Feels become reals. But at least you are a Man even if not a Gentleman.

      Agree – especially about the part about Trump going with the punches. Maybe he has some ideas and principles – but they are completely secondary to his need to vindicate himself. And since his enemies control the media, he ends up playing to them not his base. And then of course there is the donor class and his loyalty to them and/or his desire to appease them as well. In short, we come last. And countless among us would have been willing to die for him…..

      BRH from mondays musings.

      ” As a professional fireman, what are your thoughts on the Notre Dame fire?”

      Like they said, probably electrical. It always is when they don’t have a clue as to how ignition started. I think the FF’s made a heroic effort and succeeded with a great stop in the nave roof and keeping the flames from consuming the interior of the bell towers which I believe were probably also framed with wood. I;m sure there were many “Fuck me” we’re gonna’ lose the whole fuckin’ thing moments!” I’ve been in 200 YO structures and the wood is so dry you could light a timber with a match. As would be expected the fire quickly vented itself and that helped with slowing propagation. I read the response was delayed and that did not help. After the fire, I was on line and read about the cathedrals which burnt and were rebuilt after WWII. It is fascinating. Those guys in the great cities of Europe were unbelievable and took a beating considering water supply compromise and such. This should be rebuilt with modern materials as most of the destroyed framing is not even visible, So why make it historically accurate? At the least sprinkler the thing. A thousand little fireman who never sleep, take vacations, or get a pension. $5,000,000,000.00 estimate seems way overblown.

      • SpeedyBB April 26, 2019 at 12:54 pm #

        I got severely scorned by an emotional Frenchwoman for suggesting they replace the “giant tree” roof struts (which are gone forever, or at least until we’re gone) with huge modern laminated beams. She sneered that that was a “Trump-type” solution, and even when I pointed out the beautiful “da Vinci Bridge” built by Norwegian artist Vebjorn Sand (worth Googling) I got nowhere with the witch.

        It would have been priceless had Islamists been implicated in the fire. France would have come down with the heebie-jeebies & shit its britches.

        • Janos Skorenzy April 26, 2019 at 1:19 pm #

          She’s probably all for the invasion. The Muslims have not yet been cleared by any means – and of course, they won’t tell us if they are implicated.

            “The Muslims have not yet been cleared by any means…”

            How did I manage to miss that trial, complete with arrest, prosecution and presentation of >evidence? I take it the jury are currently deliberating on the basis of that evidence as we speak.

            Please note you have not been cleared by any means either. You have the perfect motive of the agent provocateur. And your excessive wish to blame another party only adds to the impression of guilt.

            So you remain equally guilty until proven innocent. A principle which you very clearly approve.

        Wait – what size a timber? Are you saying one of those huge struts could be set on fire by the tiny flame of a match?

        If you say so, I’ll believe you.

        • stelmosfire April 26, 2019 at 1:48 pm #

          Yes a match would light a 12×12 timber that has been drying for 800 years. I was stripping paint on a house of mine built in 1895, well not me but a tenant helper. With a heat gun, basically a hair dryer, I was up the ladder and he was on the front porch. I went down and saw smoke coming out the end of the roof. The rafters were burning under the roof. If I was not there with a garden hose the Victorian would not be there today Once fire takes hold in that balloon construction with no fire stops good luck!

          • stelmosfire April 26, 2019 at 1:54 pm #

            I saw the smoke puffing out the eaves and went ballistic. I swear. If myself and the idiot weren’t on it within 1-2 minutes we would have lost the place. When seconds count the FD or PD are only minutes away. Carry a hose or a gun!

    Yes Jim, it would be grand to see some blowback hit the whiners and other miscreants squarely in the puss after they wasted over two years and how many billions of our taxpayers dollars assuring that the normally poorly performing government accomplished even less. Those of us who believe in consequences for our actions would be happy to see some serious payback delivered to those who perpetrated the crimes against a system that barely works in any fashion anyway. The incessant whining and their “It’s Trump’s fault” attacks, has driven more people to him than against him and probably will even secure him another term. Of course, he may be able to achieve that simply because of the lack of quality of any other garbage that might run against him, but incessant whining tends to turn those in the middle against the whiners, doesn’t it?

    Like you, I never really cared for DJT, but when the choices we are given is Donald or raw sewage, well, Mr. Trump is clearly choice number one.

      If you listened to NPR this week you would be able to see this. Constant stories on the victims. Nothing ever about the offenders. The offenders remain consistently invisible.

      It is an old and tried power and control tactic. Here is a simplified version, using domestic violence to illustrate:

      Woman was raped.

      Rather than:
      Man raped the woman.

      In the case of Muslim terrorists, the focus is on the victims, not the offenders. Of course, the media reversed that in it’s coverage of the victims of the New Zealand Mosque shooting. Then, it was Trump’s fault because he is creating white nationalism. The Muslims are simply victims of white Nationalism. In this scenario, white men are identified as the evil bad ones.

  11. fugeguy April 26, 2019 at 10:36 am #

    Pretty dead on this week. Trump is well Trump but calling a dipsh3t a dipsh3t, while uncouth, does not cure them of being a dipsh3t.

    Recognizing the evils done by the West or America (something that was good and needed) has morphed into demonizing the West and seeking to destroy it.

    Ironic that in a desire to rectify past evils (real and many imagined) the “thinking class” has joined forces with the current evil.

    Trillions of dollars spent on Ivy League educations boiled done to the conclusion- “West Bad”

It just doesn’t work like that.

  12. Nightowl April 26, 2019 at 10:39 am #

    A good entry as so often, but I still fail to see how Trump is such an immoral character. He has issues certainly, but in terms of his political decisions, he would appear to be more moral than the last 3 US presidents.

    Furthermore, with regard to his way of speaking, what other president could have helped bring worldwide attention to the Fake News complex.

    We all know its true — the media class are corporate stenographers who largely exist to create narratives rather than report facts. What other president could have exposed this so publically? What other president would have dared point a finger at Acosta’s moonpie face, pointing out truth on national television?

    Sometimes you just need a sledgehammer.

    • Walter B April 26, 2019 at 10:55 am #

      Mr. Trump is probably just as moral or immoral as all of the rest of us. The Trump haters however cannot handle the fact that he does not hide it as well as previous presidents did. The whiners need a bright and shining lie to make them feel better about everything, including themselves. They cannot handle the truth and with DJT, they cannot delude themselves into believing the lie. Mr. Trump is a mirror that reveals their own shortcomings to them and it pisses them off.

      • Nightowl April 26, 2019 at 11:13 am #

        Exactly. Many of his public attackers have a closet so full of (known) skeletons that we don’t even bother discussing it.

        • hmuller April 26, 2019 at 11:51 am #

          Clearly Trump’s moral pecadillos don’t actually shock the Washington, Wall Street, and Hollywood crowd. Those dregs of humanity do far worse. It’s just a convenient avenue of attack.

          Trump’s real offense is obstruction of the globalist agenda. And that agenda is definitely not devoted to a higher standard of living for 99.9% of us.

          One small example; NY City announced it is cutting back 50% on buying red meat to feed to schoolchildren, city employees, inmates, etc. Reason: the belief (true or false) that red meat contributes to global warming. By this logic, eliminating private vehicles, home heating and air-conditioning, in fact large numbers of useless people, would really help with the “global warming problem”.

          The Globalist Cabal has big plans for humanity (along Orwellian and Hunger Games lines) and Trump stands against them and for the people. So howl about that, you Trump haters! Are you people just ignorant or actively devoted to evil?

Not their parents obviously! That’s the winning attitude. We matter, they don’t. Fake moral outrage will be the end of us.

      He was never all that serious – not enough to risk his reputation with the reprobates. He cares what they think and even what their media attack dogs think. What we think doesn’t bother him. He assumes – perhaps correctly – that he can bamboozle enough of his supporters to win again. He’s just another two faced Republican – a long and dishonorable tradition.

    It is insane to criticize him for not acting like the Elite. He is a victor of a hard fought economic campaign called New York real estate. He spent much time actually out on project working with his employees. He has been involved in many controversial legal disputes. Hey, maybe at least some of the time, it is the other guy who is at fault.

    Over and over, the Elite is attacked by this blog, and rightfully so. But here is a guy who opposes the Elite, does not act like them, destroyed the elitism of the GOP, stopped two corrupted political dynasties, refuses to deal with the Elite like Obama and Bush did, and has represented the people who elected him with maximum transparency.

      Yes. I minored in German history in college and I moved to Germany largely out of my interest in the country (and European life in general). I always was fascinated by what went on here in the 30s, as well as what happened with the development and further refinement of propaganda techniques in the US with E. Bernays and others.

      Never though I’d live through something like this. It has been a wake up call.

        The People are tricked because they can be tricked. They can be tricked because they are fools. Fools should not be allowed to vote. Democracy is thus contraindicated.

        The lower classes are Lost without the attention, concern, interest and yes, love, of the higher classes. All that goes to minorities. So? So our Elite are unspeakable traitors in the deepest sense. We always hate those whom we have wronged. And they hate utterly wronged those whom it was their duty to guide and protect.

        A new Elite must arise and destroy the current Elite. All talk of egalitarianism is folly, just the propaganda of the Secret Power and Hidden Elite who already all but conquered.

    The Theory of World Projects and Moral Equivalence

    This post should explain to CFNers the difference in the interpretation of events that I could not comment on, by the theory of World Projects and standard mainstream bullshit.

    I was able to move a little away from the reality of every minute TV coverage, and look at it from a different angle and from another point of view.

    I would even say from two points of view at the same time and as a result of the stereoscopy that arose, I concluded that the election of Zelensky as the Ukrainian President, and the threat to Russia by American aircraft carriers, voiced by the US ambassador in Moscow John Huntsman, are ripples on the water, but the conflict of the “holy” Bernard of Clairvaux in the 12th century with the Abbot Suger, has much bigger impact on our lives than the comedian narratives, built up by the world media around the possibility of the complete destruction of humanity.

    https://news.ru/en/world/russian-foreign-ministry-responded-to-us-threats/

    And now this possibility is much closer to implementation than during the Caribbean Missile Crisis, which was actually voiced by Vladimir Putin, claiming that Russia is ready for a new Caribbean crisis, since during the old Caribbean crisis the USSR was not ready for it.

    And now if the American fleet tries to declare a blockade of Venezuela and do not let Russian ships to pass through, the answer will be quite different than in 1962, no matter how much the above-mentioned world media would extol the Soviet officer who would not allow the use of nuclear weapons on Americans.

    https://www.theguardian.com/science/2017/oct/27/vasili-arkhipov-soviet-submarine-captain-who-averted-nuclear-war-awarded-future-of-life-prize

    The fact of the matter is that the Monroe doctrine does not in any way mix well with the war in Ukraine, in which American soldiers participate as instructors who teach the Nazis to use American weapons. And the statements that Russia should reckon with the Monroe Doctrine in Venezuela, but the hints of the Russians about its second part of the doctrine where it says about not interfering by the US in the European affairs, are “moral equivalence”, which Mrs. Kirkpatrick back in 80s already branded as “unacceptable”.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_equivalence

    It is precisely the denial of moral equivalence between Russia and the United States that is a source of danger and impossibility of reaching an agreement, and the Black World Project is making desperate efforts to turn this impossibility of reaching an agreement into a war between Russia and the United States on Ukrainian territory, but so far it only succeeds in bringing the possibility of a Russia-US war on the territory of the United States.

    And many Americans have already understood this, as well as the fact that they now are the object of “the inadmissibility of moral equivalence,” and Trump’s election campaign working with Russia to get dirt on Hillary Clinton is a terrible crime against “Our Democracy (deep sigh)”, even if Hillary did fake the results of the Democratic primaries, and Hillary’s collaboration with Ukrainian President Poroshenko and Russian PM Medvedev to compile the Trump dossier, which served as the basis for Trump’s wiretapping, are quite adequate actions that nobody should even try to investigate.

    And as far as I understand, they turned out to be a morally-inadequate object of this principle, looked at it from a different point of view, and some of them already understood that even a preventive missile attack on American aircraft carriers in the Mediterranean after Huntsman’s statement would be morally equivalent to this statement.

    And when they learn about the incompatibility of the Russian and American understanding of the term “preventive strike”, their anger against Hillary may gain higher overtones.

    But the denial of “moral equivalence” is the World Colored Projects in a chemically pure form, since they imply that the moral assessment of actions is unequal because people are unequal, and if you put together all Trump’s statements on this topic, you get an Orthodox world project as a first approximation, that is Orthodox denial of world projects as such, the need for which I have been talking for many years.

    Unfortunately, the relationship between St. Nicholas the Second and the ballerinas quite successfully eclipsed this question on the Russian media horizon and the corresponding answer from the Russian Orthodox Church should not be expected in the near future, and Ukrainian Orthodox Church Tomos of Potroshenko, which just had been supported by Zelensky, is clearly intended that Russian Orthodox Church is mired in heresy and the repetition of the situation of the 15th century, when Russia after the Union of Florence and the fall of Constantinople remained the only Orthodox state on the planet and this led to its strengthening, and not weakness, is impossible.

    Therefore, on this sad day, I will dare to assert that the Orthodox response to World Projects is the negation of the negation of moral equivalence, since the negation of moral equivalence is the negation of the mission of Christ.

    Indeed, if humanity is not one, then the incarnation of God into man does not make any sense, since it is not clear into what kind of humanity Christ had incarnated and killer-cannibals can always say that the people they eat are not people who are people in the Image and the likeness of God, but just food that can and should be enjoyed.

    • Ol' Scratch April 26, 2019 at 12:52 pm #

      Me thinks it’s a stretch to apply “moral equivalence” to this world’s religious practices, Christian or otherwise. I’m not aware of too many instances where religious leaders of whatever stripe have shirked their duty to justify wholesale slaughter on the part of their political masters. Matter of fact, religious justifications in the form of vilification of the “inhuman other” are pretty much the norm, don’t ya think? IOW, moral justification is in the eye of the beholder/believer. Generally speaking, we humans aren’t half as clever OR moral as we like to believe we are. I like to call that the church of blowing smoke up our own asses.

      • Ol' Scratch April 26, 2019 at 12:56 pm #

        To add, we’d be a lot more “moral” if we chucked the all the religious pretense and just came out with statements like “We hate these belligerent motherfuckers and we’re going to kill them all before they breed more!” when justifying our reasons for going to war.

          If we count the wars & invasions that America has indulged in over time we find no justification other than market share & pure unadulterated greed. With over 800 military bases worldwide it is pretty obvious what America is up to. The melting pot mix of ethnicity still has fat balding white dudes at the top of the Ponzi scheme even after 250 years of history.

          Look at Congress and count the Americans of colour amongst the distribution.

          Balding middle aged white dude morality reigns supreme still to this day. Let’s face facts when looking at American hatred of any and all that are not white males with pattern baldness and a pot belly that occupies a seat in Congress.

      Typical. Exactly how many dealings have you personally had with Trump? Are you a friend of the family that you know for sure all your claims.

      Or are you just another dupe of the Dems and their mouthpiece the Main Stream Media. Trump is the biggest enemy the MSM, the globalists and their domestic reps the Dems (and RINOs) have had since Reagan. Why? Because he knows all their tricks and can use them against them. MAGA is on its way, but needs time to weed out all the socialists out of the intelligence and bureaucracy communities.

      In the meantime, the MAGA base needs to find another strong man to succeed Trump. The Dems and the establishment GOP need to find a reason why we should even listen to their tripe.

      In the meantime, enjoy all your name calling, like all the other anti-Trumpers. After 2020, it is all you will have left.

        I have two friends that I see often, one of which has had direct dealings with DJT supplying landscaping services for his many properties, and the other who is an analyst that briefs him from time to time. The first claims that Mr. Trump was very smart and very involved in every project and had a keen eye for detail, and that he stayed on top of every job until it was done to his liking. The second spoke highly of DJT’s intelligence, his people skills and attention to detail, and the only criticism was that he does not always listen to his advisors. Not that I find that to be a problem.

            Yes, he started out with a pile of cash but he did not squander it like 90% of us would have did he? What is the statistic that something like 60% of lottery winners not only lose all of their winning right quickly, but ruin their lives as well? Being able to take it and keep it working is a valuable skill in it’s own right and I do believe that a lot of Trump haters are simply jealous.

          Walter, not listening to advisors happens to be a problem for me. Everyone is an expert, or so they say. I like Trump because it appears he has opinions and is not afraid of expressing them. In my years in critical burning situations i frequently expressed them and was often seeked out as in “Where is #### even though I was not an officer.” Common sense is in short supply. My wife, from New Britain, CT laments the lack of common sense among the people voting today. CT used to be a industrious and inventive state. As was NY, NJ, and many others. Today not so m much.

Trump frightened them and then didn’t do anything – cowed by the Leftist Judiciary. He didn’t go for it. He didn’t declare a National Emergency and just start building. Just ignore the Judiciary. And then if they didn’t shut up, make them shut up with Martial Law.

            Genesis 38:9

            Onan’s brother died before he had any children, and by custom it was Onan’s duty to sleep with his dead brother’s wife to knock her up for the estate. Break off a piece for the good of the dead brother’s family line.

            So Onan gets with the wife, but he pulls out and let’s “his seed spill to the ground.”

            He did this every time he hit it in defiance of god.

            That was fucking stupid.

            Listen O Woman: It’s said in Basic Training (at least once upon a time in the Army or the Marines), if a recruit called his rifle “a gun”, he had strip naked and walk around the Camp saying, “This is my rifle. This is my gun. This is for shooting. This is for fun” – while holding his rifle and gun.

            Thus Onan refused to shoot at the friendly enemy, instead shooting at the ground. Thus the analogy is more or less apt. Trump sending disarmed troops to the border to stand around (just like Obama did) was a similar example of such jack offery.

        Further, just because someone has a low opinion of Trump it does not instantly mean they love Hillary and are 100% on board with the whole of the Dem platform. Believe it or not there are some people who don’t fit into the tight little niche in your tight little head.

    It boggles the mind that somebody sounding as incoherent as Trump could out-think and out-run the best political pros that Democrat money could buy, yet he did it, in 2016 looking like the Lionel Messi of the presidential campaign, his opponents mere orange pylons on the playing field.

    All right, I’m overstating the case. The Democrats after all scored the game-winning own-goal, Hillary forgetting she was kicking at her own net. I’m referring to what could go down as the most bone-headed word uttered in the most bone-headed speech in the history of mankind: deplorable.

    But maybe it shouldn’t boggle the mind. Look at the laughable convention the Republicans held, look at Trump’s concert tour of a campaign, consider his oafish, dis-articulated sputterings. Yet Trump won. So it’s not that Trump and his team were that good, it’s that the Democrats were that bad. Far from being the crack troops in a campaign blitzkrieg that they were supposed to be, the Democrats were the Italian infantry.

    I mean, with just one word – deplorable – Hillary gave an entire class of Americans an identity to rally around. It was awesome, historic, breathtaking, tectonic, an earthquake, with that one insult she gave Fly-over country a club to beat the Democrats with.

    That’s how debased America’s “thinking classes” are, they couldn’t defeat Trump, the most defeatable candidate ever, in fact, they gave him the weapon to win, and one not easily subject to obsolescence. Now, you might think that the Brit elite is worse, the descendants of people that faced Heinkels and U-Boats and panzers turning ninny at the sight of an EU bureaucrat, and so I suppose that the point is debatable.

    But IMO the idiocy of America’s elite “thinking class” is in a class of its own, nobody, anywhere coming close, with so many examples that you could choke, you could write volumes, you could start and never finish, the labor of an entire lifetime, the collected works of the most egregiously stupid people on the wrong side of almost every issue facing the US and the world, but, to be fair, issues that had their genesis with these same knuckleheads in America’s Great Halls of Thinking.

    Not only could the “thinking classes” not find a way to beat Trump, they couldn’t find a way to unseat him, in the process covering themselves in ignominy, a laughing-stock twice losing to a laughing-stock.

      First, caught in a classic Bond-like never-win situation, he deftly dispatched the declared enemy of world deplorables, Madame Felonia von Pantsuit

      But before DJT could savor his surprising triumph, his dedicated enemies, the dastardly DNC, sent against him Mister Fearmonger, a persistent opponent who took around a year to end up on the ash heap of Trump history …

      Still, the American 007 could not rest! The S.P.E.C.T.R.E. of the Deep State unleashed From Russia with Love, a complex operation featuring corrupted spy and law enforcement agencies assisting a botched coup. Before this saga ended, the villain Sancticomious has been banished, the lumbering Mueller made to look like a vindictive fool, and, appropriately, Scowlin’ John Brennan is back in The Cold, for good this time. Pointedly, in these endeavors, Trump had an ally named Q.

      Heck, Melania could even pass for a Bond girl … and I’m thinking a martini, shaken, not stirred, would taste pretty good about now.
      – – – – –

        LMAO. Felonia von Pantsuit? That’s bloody hilarious. Did you make that up? A tip of the hat.

        And Melania could sure as hell pass for a Bond girl. And she’s got that great steely edge you see in her smile. I think she’s been underestimated.

        After the election Bannon said that Trump has about a thirty percent chance of finishing one term. It sounded about right to me considering the forces arrayed against him. For sure, the Donald proved himself as much a survivor and as slippery as good ole double 0.

        Yeah, boy, martini is such great grog, that first taste like a slap in the face.

        • montsegur April 26, 2019 at 3:21 pm #

          Wish I could take credit for the Felonia tag, but, no, it is not my doing. Sure suits her, though.

        Huh? So, why won’t he allow his academic records to be released? As to the multi-billion dollar company, if he’d taken daddy’s money and put it all in a TD, he’d have done better than his ‘business’ ventures have. His tax returns would tell the real, indisputable truth, but, like his academic transcript, he won’t let us see the facts. So, until he does, I feel fully entitled to assume he’s just full of sh3t.

  26. My odds-on front runner in 2020 is Joe Biden. The more they slime him, the more real he becomes- call it the Trump effect. Early likeability and squeaky-clean pedigree is politeness masquerading as contempt. Sure, it’s all fascination with the new debutantes for the time being- but the parties are tending to show early favorites by pummelling them. We like antiques and refurbs. So perhaps Biden-Warren will be the winning ticket after they’ve run the gauntlet, and then they’ll put on the gloves and double-up pummelling Trump like a speed bag.

    Trump? Don’t even know if he’s going to be able to campaign on a bunch of failed promises. I still think a fair chance he’s impeached by an alliance of Republican moderates and Dems. Then the deplorables will expend their energy in the gnashing of teeth and tearing of hair, but soon be placated by the Holy Christian Ascension from V.P., and a flurry of new-fangled campaign fodder like Abortion and other sentimental issues… and then they can settle down to chew their cud of resentment until 2024 when their relevance hits that steep decline and the political world is flooded by a horde of millennial concern.

    By then twilight will have set, finally, on the Republican party, and they will disintegrate into factions, sniping from an upper class catbox in think-tanks and the pages of the Wall Street Journal. The populist arm will peel away, the fundamentalists will break off into their own ghettos.

    • Ol' Scratch April 26, 2019 at 1:03 pm #

      Trump embraces his slimy nature and comes off as honest and somehow refreshing in the process.

      Biden skulks about hiding his sliminess under a metaphorical trench coat of imagined purity and comes across as merely old, tawdry, and sleazy. He’ll be flushed back into the sewer from which he crawled before the year’s out.

      • venuspluto67 April 26, 2019 at 1:25 pm #

        If he gets the Dem nod, I can imagine all that video and photographic footage of him being all creepy and handsy (sometimes with pre-teen girls, FFS) will do him in.

      • The thing is, they’re in a similar weight bracket (pugilistically speaking). Last election cycle threw a lot of shade on Gender/Age mismatches in debate.

        We’re a sports-watching, judging type of culture, and frankly no one wants to see Mike Tyson knock out an 8-year old.

        Trump v. Biden would be epic.

        • Exscotticus April 26, 2019 at 5:17 pm #

          They’re similar in many ways. They’re both tough-guy braggadocio types who speak when they probably shouldn’t. The only difference is, when Trump does it, we get another 24-hour liberal news freakout session.

          Well, let’s enjoy the show, and see if Creepy Joe’s “Grope and Change” campaign goes the distance.

            We could dispense with an election altogether and just blindfold some strippers who know good gropes from bad gropes.

            Run it as a scientific experiment. Biden gropes one first at random then Trump gropes her. Then the stripper is taken to a sequestered soundproof room (with refreshments) where she rates the first or second grouper as the better or worse than the other.

            Next Trump goes first and the same thing happens. Once this jury of 12 ‘peers‘ has voted we have a judgement.

            No need for the electoral college this time around at all! The distraction of an election won’t get in the way of making America whatever again either.

        Konrad Adenauer ran West Germany when he was around 90, so there is a precedent, even if it was not America. Winston Churchill was 80, so Biden will be a youngster of 79 when he runs. It’ll be easy to defeat him – just keep on throwing 12 year old girls in his vicinity while someone nearby has a camera or iPhone, and sooner or later he will defeat himself.

        • montsegur April 26, 2019 at 3:31 pm #

          Bill, that’s because Konrad was the only politico in Germany who could make a case that he hadn’t been badly afflicted by Stiff Right Army Syndrome.

          Even so, his lengthy time in office did not augur well for the future of German democracy. Their politics are moribund, which is why Merkel is apparently the Forever Chancellor.

          What you’re claiming may have been true when RINOs ruled the land (elected a Republican, got a liberal instead). But to claim that Trump’s policies mirror those of the left is a break with reality. So is claiming that his policies favor “the elite”. Building a wall favors the elite? Better ask the Koch brothers about that. Preserving civilian firearm rights favors the elite? How? I would imagine an unarmed populace would be easier to control.

          Just as there are real differences between black/white, good/bad, yes/no, love/hate, so too are there real differences between someone who wants to lower your taxes, and someone who wants to raise them.

          • Janos Skorenzy April 26, 2019 at 6:22 pm #

            He’s not building the Wall obviously. And back to the schtick: he’s allied with the Zio faction of the Globalists, not the UN faction. Both are Enemies of White Americans. But the Zios aren’t as eager to disarm us perhaps or might be willing to slow down our descent into the Abyss. After all, we have to keep some strength in order to fight for them in the Middle East or wherever else. Some Jews are with the UN faction of course. Some are on both sides. It gets complicated and many get confused. But of course it’s all quite clear to them. Which are they on? Their side. They are above both the lower duopoly and the higher one as well to a lesser extent.

            It doesn’t require that all of them do, just the few at the very top. The rest go along, willing or not, under the united banner of wealth and privilege enhancement. On that point, they march in lockstep. All the social policies are just distractions for the feeble-minded. Besides, laws don’t apply to the very rich anyway. They have lawyers and bought and paid for pols and cops for that kind of shit. The globalist cabal relies in disbelief in its existence. Thanks for contributing.

          • hmuller April 27, 2019 at 10:19 am #

            I agree, Ol Scratch.

            And EX “And the idea that they all belong to some secret globalist cabal is just silly.”

            It’s far more complex than that. Information is compartmentalized within a hierarchy including many NGO’s and multinational organizations.

            Rewards and punishments are handed out like dog treats. People high up the chain may know what they are told to do, but not why. They also know the price of resistance.

            Early in the process, videotaping subjects in sex orgies, perhaps while drugged, perhaps with children, helps keep them in line.

            Power, wealth, sex, fame, etc are the incentives. Most players don’t know and probably don’t care about the “big picture”. They do what they do to feed their ego driven psychopathic narcissism.

            Initiation into higher circles is by invitation only, Sometimes they misjudge what a prospective initiate will stand for. Example: Dutch banker Ronald Bernard could not bring himself to rape children and has now spilled the beans. See YouTube interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC62iJ_oXDE

            From your article Ex:

            Exactly 39.8 miles of wall — technically steel bollard fence — have been installed along the southern border since January 2017, for an average of 1.7 miles per month.

            1.7 miles per month! Wow spelled backwards is woW! And a fence is not a Wall. How high is the fence? In some places the old fence if four feet high.

            I’m not sure I even believe the above about the the 39.8 (mustn’t forget the .8). I want to see pictures with a man standing next to it to makes sure it’s not four feet high.

            Well the few at the top don’t agree, either. Do you think George Sorros and the Koch brothers always pursue the same ends? Read this…

            …one sees a very different animal in George Soros than in the Koch brothers. A quick stroll through OpenSecrets.org finds that Mr. Soros donates often, and in million-dollar lump sums given directly to PACs which support progressive causes. And, while the Koch brothers stayed out of the contest between Trump and Clinton, Mr. Soros pledged $25 million to Hillary Clinton and her associates. In 2004, he spent $25 million in an attempt to prevent the reelection of George W. Bush.

            Koch brothers are libertarians; Soros is a progressive liberal. A Venn diagram will show that these two ideologies have some things in common. But they are fundamentally different in their goals.

            Exscot:

            You are thinking in a very logical, yet linear fashion.

            Consider this example: If I were a powerful entity who wanted to create a civil war in America, would it be logical for me to give loads of money to both radical left and radical right wing groups? Wouldn’t that cancel out my efforts. No, quite the contrary. Polarize the people, eliminate the center, strengthen the extremes, and watch society split apart.

            Maybe you’ve heard rumors about how bankers sometimes don’t care which side wins a war. The result is both nations end up deeply indebted (enslaved) to the bankers, impoverished and in ruins. Ripe for the picking.

They don’t understand that attempts to create a well-ordered society with no risk and no consequences actually weakens the system overall. We went from a nation of independent family farms that could mostly survive without government, to a nation of city-dwelling freaks who can’t even cook pasta and spend all their time obsessing over their genitalia. We’ve traded redundancy for efficiency. We’ve ended up with a fragile society incapable of dealing with the slightest adversity. Trump says “boo!” and millions of liberals need to pound down fistfuls of xanax and run to their safe spaces.

            ExScot,

            They didn’t build all those underground bunkers for no reason.The elite have a survival plan. And we’re not in the club.

            After things settle down they plan to pop up out of their hidey-holes, well rested and well armed. The ragged surface survivors will welcome serfdom that comes with food and security.

            And what is this event that sends the elite into the bunkers?

            Many have speculated. I think it’s more than some banking-financial crisis, perhaps a global near extinction event like an asteroid hit or fly-by, a pole shift, a solar disruption, or a long list of other possibilities.

          • Exscotticus April 27, 2019 at 10:56 pm #

            >>> They didn’t build all those underground bunkers for no reason

            Rich guy with bunker versus military general with bunker busters? Are you serious?

            >>> After things settle down they plan to pop up out of their hidey-holes, well rested and well armed.

            You mean like Obama or Saddam or Gaddafi? How’d those hidey-holes work out for them?

            Paper wealth (which comprises nearly all the wealth these guys have) is useless without rule of law. To imagine these guys want chaos is to imagine that they want to see their wealth vanish.

          • hmuller April 28, 2019 at 1:50 am #

            ExScot,

            In response to your last points:

            Regarding bunkers. I wasn’t aware they had to bust one open to get Ghaddafi. They pulled Saddam Hussein out of a dirty “spider hole” in the ground. And I don’t understand your reference to ex-President Obama in the context of busting bunkers to get him. Maybe you meant Osama bin Laden, who was taken in his bedroom, not a bunker.

            Your denigrating the value of bunkers is hence a big zero. And furthermore, I was talking about massive US bunkers deep inside the Rocky Mountains, not some little third world construction.

            You keep talking about rich guys versus generals. What makes you think they are on opposing sides?

            On the paper wealth topic, do you think the world’s billionaires don’t have gold and silver stockpiled, just because they don’t publicly talk about it.

            And as I pointed out, the bunkers may likely be for a natural disaster type event, which occurs whether the rich guys want it to happen or not.

            Clearly, there is no point continuing this fruitless discussion. Be well and bye.

          • Exscotticus April 28, 2019 at 4:43 pm #

            Yes I meant Osama.

            >>> Your denigrating the value of bunkers is hence a big zero.

            Is it? Show me a single example of a modern bunker that survived a modern bunker buster.

            >>> And furthermore, I was talking about massive US bunkers deep inside the Rocky Mountains, not some little third world construction.

            OK so you’re now qualifying what you mean by “pop up out of their hidey-holes”. Hidey-holes was YOUR TERM—your characterization. And so I gave you examples of “hidey-holes” that didn’t work.

            Even Cheyenne mountain, which is the best military bunker the USA has, won’t survive a direct hit from a 25 megaton warhead. You build a better bunker, someone will build a better bunker buster.

            A better argument (and one you didn’t use) was a secret bunker to avoid the bunker busters. But how do you create this massive bunker-in-a-mountain in secret?

            >>> You keep talking about rich guys versus generals. What makes you think they are on opposing sides?

            Your premise is that the super wealthy are all colluding to end the world so that they can take over. Now you’re including 200k-per-year generals?! Are you including middle class engineers that keep these systems going, too? Are you including lower class servants who cook and clean and provide for all the aforemenioned as well?

            Why on earth would a general with kill-power help some rich fuck take over the world? Your theory just doesn’t pass even the most rudimentary smoke test.

        This is a world where nothing is solved. You know, someone once told me time is a flat circle. Everything we’ve ever done or will do, we’re gonna do over and over and over again. And if the only thing keeping a person decent is the expectation of divine reward then, brother, that person is a piece of s***. And I’d like to get as many of them out in the open as possible. You gotta get together and tell yourself stories that violate every law of the universe just to get through the goddamn day? What’s that say about your reality?
        You see we all got what I call a life trap, a gene deep certainty that things will be different… that you’ll move to another city and meet the people that’ll be the friends for the rest of your life… that you’ll fall in love and be fulfilled… ****ing fulfillment… and closure whatever the ***k those two ****in’ empty jars to hold this shit storm.
        Nothing’s ever fulfilled, not until the very end.
        and closure.
        Nothing is ever over.

    Earlier, the United States Ambassador to Russia, John Huntsman, called the US Navy carrier grouping deployed in the Mediterranean as a signal to Moscow.

    According to him, each of the aircraft carriers is one hundred thousand tons of international diplomacy.

    It looks like he has completely exhausted of his diplomatic potential, having begun to threaten our country with military force – said a source at RIA News agency.

    The interlocutor of the agency stressed that Moscow had heard many such threats and it was useless to talk in such a tone. He noted that, if necessary, Russia would find ways to turn «two hundred thousand tons of American diplomacy, which the ambassador had boasted, into a pile of rusty metal on the seabed».

    Ah yes, “think tanks” and backroom spookery, colluding to grab the levers of power — and surprise, surprise, engage in some money-grubbery while they’re at it!

    Appears that sanctions applied because of supposed Russian meddling in our sacred elections (that only OUR political machines are allowed to inalienably fix and meddle with) are metastasizing into a bit of blowback-ery as well. Oopsie.

    Fun with Unhappy Motoring:

    “The backlash over the fate of GAZ, which mostly manufactures foreign-brand cars in partnership with companies like Daimler and Volkswagen, shows how the US sanctions campaign has had the opposite of its intended effect: instead of weakening Putin, it has sparked a “nationalist fervor” which has helped bolster the president’s popularity at a time when tax hikes and cuts to social services have engendered an unprecedented level of bitterness among the population.

    Factory workers have even written to the US embassy to request a meeting about the fate of GAZ, but have been rebuffed.”

    https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-04-25/workers-suspect-us-conspiring-bankrupt-russias-largest-commercial-vehicle-plant

(That’s becoming a rather ubiquitous feature of our shadowy policy-and-narrative manufacturers.) …And as always, friends and neighbors, FOLLOW THE MONEY. Who benefits?

    at least he should become a persona non grata in Russia, and the Foreign Ministry’s letter about it should sound like this:

    Well, if nothing else needs to be said why don’t you shove your 200 tons of iron up your ass and get the fuck out”

    And this to put it mildly, is called casus belli, and the US Congress should receive a formal request whether it authorized the US ambassador to Moscow to declare a war on Russia.

    Theory of World Projects Against TV media

    Today I am going to write a post about the descent of the Holy Fire, which I hope with God’s Help will happen today in Israel, but for this I must first finish a series of posts about the connection of the symbolism of the fire in Notre Dame de Paris and the world projects in Israel.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Fire

    It was precisely the fire precisely on April 15 that reaffirmed the hypothesis about the similarity of the confrontation of world projects with the War of the Roses and personally for me identified the crucial role of Ukraine in the struggle of World Projects in Israel, and the emergence of a new schismatic church on Ukraine cannot but worry those who are awaiting the descent of the Holy Fire.

    But before that, I have to draw your attention to the difference in the interpretation of events by the theory of the world project and the point of view of the so-called mainstream media, which, upon closer examination, turns out to be the same in Russia and the United States.

    The difference between the Russian and American media is only in the number of minutes they devote to a particular event, and they represent the essence of these events in exactly the same way, albeit from opposite points. And the theory of world projects sees this essence completely different, and from this point of view this post is a continuation of the previous post.

    In particular, in a previous post I stated that the conflict of the “holy” Bernard of Clairvaux in the 12th century with the Abbot Suger, has much bigger impact on our lives than the comedian narratives, built up by the world media around the possibility of the complete destruction of humanity.
    And now this possibility is much closer to implementation than during the Caribbean Missile Crisis, which was actually voiced by Vladimir Putin, claiming that Russia is ready for a new Caribbean crisis, since during the old Caribbean crisis the USSR was not ready for it.

    And now if the American fleet tries to declare a blockade of Venezuela and do not let Russian ships to pass through, the answer will be quite different than in 1962, no matter how much the above-mentioned world media would extol the Soviet officer who would not allow the use of nuclear weapons on Americans

    The fact of the matter is that if the captain of the second rank Arkhipov in 1961 was not a spy for the United States and the media on both sides of the conflict rightfully regard his refusal to execute a military order as an act of heroism and personal and civic courage, the theory of world projects regards what happened a precedent in the chain of events leading up to the disappearance of the USSR and a reason to look differently at all the activities of Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev, who exactly 65 years ago on April 26, 1954 forced the Supreme Soviet of the USSR to turn the illegal transfer of Crimea to Ukraine into the law of USSR.

    Moreover, it was this episode that forced the phrase about the possibility of a preventive nuclear strike by Russia in response to the threat to the existence of the state to be inserted into the Russian military doctrine.

    And if the commander of some aircraft carrier now surrounds the Russian submarine in the vicinity of Venezuela and, like the commander of the aircraft carrier Randolph, orders to bomb it like in 1961, then I have no doubt that there would be no new Arkhipov and the commander of the aircraft carrier will simply die like dog along with his and escort ships teams.

    After that, the US Senate and Congress will have to decide whether to increase to 300 million the number of Americans who also simply die like dogs because they do not have time to repent, for the pleasure of knowing that 140 million Russians have gone to heaven as victims of aggression.

    Naturally, the theory of world projects, asserting that the economic and political reasons for certain events are just a cover for religious (or quasi-religious) reasons a few hours before the Resurrection of Christ, when we remember His stay in Hell, cannot but remember that 32 years after the transfer of Crimea to Ukraine, an accident occurred at the Chernobolsk Nuclear Power Station, thus establishing the symbolic link between Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev and Nikita Sereyevich Khrushchov.

    And if we are talking the gunboat diplomacy, then from the point of view that is inspired by the media on both sides of the Atlantic, which obviously not able to survive the psychological trauma of electing a US president who openly talks about the need to improve relations between Russia and the USA, after such a statement by the US ambassador:

    “When you have 200,000 tons of diplomacy that is cruising in the Mediterranean — this is what I call diplomacy, this is forward operating diplomacy — nothing else needs to be said,”
    https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/23/europe/us-carrier-operations-mediterranean-sea/index.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fedition_europe+%28RSS%3A+CNNi+-+Europe%29

    at least he should become a persona non grata in Russia, and the Foreign Ministry’s letter about it should sound like this:
    Well, if nothing else needs to be said why don’t you shove your 200 tons of iron up your ass and get the fuck out”

    Meanwhile, the established media in Russia saw this as a reason for Maria Zakharova to practice in wit and humor, and the American media represented by CNN present this information in such a way that it becomes clear that Huntsman’s words are intended for internal American use and are timed to Biden’s announcement of his run for US presidency.

    And Biden and Huntsman, who joined him beforehand in this situation, have nothing to lose, since it seems that Vladimir Putin speaks about Biden from the second minute on this video:

    Europe and the USA IMPUDENTLY fucked (cheated) us! Putin told the details of the events in Ukraine
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QiC_QI3Yk4A

    And we know for sure that two years before Biden had given personal guarantees to President Medvedev, under which the latter forbade Russian diplomats to impose a veto on the UN decision allowing establishing a no-fly zone in Libya, but then the principle “that has never happened” worked, and here we are, in Kiev again.

    Agree that the theory of world projects has reason to consider the aforementioned words of Huntsman, appointed ambassador to Russia in 2017, that is, before the Big Bargain and the funeral of George Bush Sr. rather like trying to loudly slam the door behind him in response to the news from Washington, not from Moscow on the possible resignation and coming out from the closet as Biden’s partner, not Trump’s.

    Of course, the elephant in the room is…. has anyone actually read the Mueller report? No sane person can come away with anything but the conclusion that Trump tried to obstruct justice.
    I’ve said it before, JHK who constantly complains about ‘tattooed hordes,’ ‘places not worth caring about,’ which includes most of the US, and the general degradation of civic life in the US seems to have found in Trump something redeeming. The irony is the Trump represents the worst tendencies in American life. Perhaps, deep down JHK has been taking us all along for a ride….

        The purpose isn’t medical imaging, it’s the identification of cancer early enough to save a life. Sometimes there are false positives. Sometimes it picks up cancers that are relatively benign and slow growing, where the woman might just have died of something else before the cancer got her. But you can’t know.

        But they still save lives. And yes, it does bl**dy hurt.

And you are worried about Russian election meddling? At least Russia isn’t run by the globalists and international bankers!

    He may look and sound like the Great Orange Blunderous Dunderosity, unworthy of his office, but Trump is on the right side of a lot of stuff even if nobody likes his verbal splutterings.

    His crudities are off-putting, the campaign murderer-rapist talk over the top and unfair but, regardless, he’s right on the issue of the border, the Democrats dead-wrong, as dead-wrong as Republican Establishmentarians shilling for the Koch Bros, ie for cheap labor.

    And Trump was right about giving Rocketman a try. Nothing else had worked, not all these decades since 1945 when Korea was split up, not since the end of the fighting in 1953, not with Rocketman, nor his dad, nor his grand-dad. It was worth having a face-to-face.

    But it will be like pulling bags of rocks up-hill to get the US foreign policy Blob to adjust their thinking to current national and international realities.

    Simply, the US no longer has the wherewithal to defend Korea and will have to get out, no matter that the ROK coughs up for at least some of the cost. The USA is just spread too thin and Korea will have to fend for itself.

    But how to come to a deal? The way forward is to talk to Xi. Xi is the actual shot-caller, nothing happens without his sign-off. And, if you really want to get with reality, not that the US Deep State does, as is evident given their recent behavior, but Putin will have to be at the table. It may complicate matters as Russia has its own interests, but they will need to be taken into account. And maybe Japan. Those guys are the locals, their interests paramount because they actually live there, and because they have to smell one another day-in and day-out.

    Xi, being no dummy, would know this, Rocketman too, and Putin and Abe also, the only dummies apparently those Americans that have an altogether too grandiose idea of what they know, and of America’s ability to pull strings. It’s gonna have to be the locals coming to a modus vivendi, and the sooner the Great Thinkers in the US foreign policy elite figure this out, the less likely a war to settle things.

    So, can Trump be trusted on this issue? IMO more so than the so-called “experts” that have been fucking up and stinking up the joint since Ike left to play golf.

    Same thing with trade and investment. You could write a book on where Trump’s take on things accords with reality, his opponents being the proponents of what doesn’t and can’t work.

    The American Deep State exists in a dream world and you wonder whether they can be shaken out of their reveries.

    Now what about the hair? Maybe Melania can deal with this?

    • SoftStarLight April 27, 2019 at 2:00 pm #

      Don’t underestimate the Deep State V. They have been around since the beginning of time almost in one form or another. To defeat them will take a Hercules. Or perhaps Odin :-). And Trump says some of the right things about the border but with an estimated 1.5 million illegal crossers expected this year his words don’t comfort me. I need more than words. Break their tables and throw the money changers out of the temple. Our civilization is dying so I don’t care about manners, politeness, looks, etc.

    • It remains a “Gimme” instant moment of history if only this group of deluded Schmucks- Trump, Xi, Kim and, yes, Putin, just “come together” and rid the world of nuclear weapons once and for all.

      But they aren’t smart- none of them are. The world would be better off with 4 random guys selected out of a phone book in terms of intelligence and wisdom.

      They’re a bunch of criminal con artists, a syndicate of gangsters. We, the little people, are flying blind as a bat now that Assange is in prison. The military circus parade show must go on.

      Rest assured that the proof of all this is the simple reality that laurels would be laid at their feet, that they would rise to historical heights of power, esteem and notoriety, if they were merely self-interested.

      I’m sorry this is not the case.

    Absolutely Mr. K! Kinda like karma is a bitch and everything. We won’t be able to count on Trump to stop the invasion or dissolution of the US both culturally and socially speaking. Those processes appear irreversible at this point. There doesn’t seem to be any political will to maintain national sovereignty or any semblance of a national identity. Yugoslavia 2.0 will resolve that apparently. So it seems like the most Trump can do now is expose the Deep State completely. And maybe that was the whole purpose of his presidency all along? And speaking of harshness he should channel maximum vindictiveness to get the job done ;-). Certainly the Deep State is worth it and the end justifies the means. Well that’s how I feel about it at least. He said he is about to declassify a whole bunch of stuff about the coup attempt yesterday. Hopefully he will actually do it. Its time to destroy all of these secret societies and cabals once and for all. Otherwise how can there be any trust at the most basic level?

      If this posts, it will be a miracle. I am typing in faith that my third ban has been lifted. Just simply showing up causes an uproar and the Ban Button is swift.

      Quite some time ago, when I was a regular commenter on CFN, I pointed out how TPTB and the Deep State would have to be defeated and within the bounds of The System itself. My model comes directly from, “Dr. Strangelove.”

      President Muffley, as many of you know, was facing a manufactured crisis by one of his generals and saw that General Buck Turgidson didn’t want to let a good crisis go to waste. The only solution was to aid the “enemy” and help them defeat the incursion. That Major Kong went off script and bombed an ICBM site not on his list is irrelevant here. President Muffley worked with the Russians to stop this rogue act of war and tried to prevent nuclear war from happening.

      President Trump will have to completely bypass TPTB and go to Vladimir Putin for his assistance ALL WHILE telling the American People everything. Including what he is doing and why. The Democrats and RINO’s will scream about Russian Collusion but, the American People won’t buy it. TPTB are the enemy of the people and if Russia is willing to help us overthrow them, then so be it.

      It makes me wonder whether Trump accidentally showed his cards early in the 2016 campaign and this Russian Collusion stunt was fabricated to prevent him from reaching out to Putin and declaring a mutual war against TPTB.

        That is an interesting angle Jim and it makes a lot of sense. The deeply entrenched Elite are not going anywhere if they have a say in it and they literally have minions everywhere having infiltrated every part of the system. Putin is among only a handful of world leaders who are openly defying them and their plans. The pundits have already invoked their fake Russian collusion narrative in discussing 2020. If Russia can help dislodge the Western Elites from power then I welcome it too. In reality Russia seems like a natural ally and the animosity the media has created is very superficial and an intentional distraction anyway.

    “What it’s celebrating is 50 years of progress for LGBTQ+ people in Canada.

    “The coin, which comes in two versions, was revealed by the Royal Canadian Mint this morning, to commemorate 50 years since the decriminalization of homosexuality in the country.

    “The collector’s edition of the coin is a large, almost pure (99.99 per cent) silver coin. It depicts two faces and a large, flowing rainbow. The image was designed by Vancouver-based artist Joe Average, who has dedicated the past several decades to queer art following an HIV diagnosis.

    “The second version, which will go into circulation starting today, is the typical loonie-gold coin, worth $1. It features the same image, but in the gold colouring of every other loonie.”

Duterte said, quote: “I will declare war against them. I will advise Canada that your garbage is on the way. Prepare a grand reception. Eat it if you want to,”

        So now that the Loonie is crashing and Canada’s poop chute is blocked, what reaction can we expect from Ottawa?

      It’s a tragedy and a sin that such a beautiful state was allowed to become a shithole. But hey, at least foreigners have full sanctuary there. Welcome to your new shithole amigos. I do truly feel though for the people who live there that don’t want all of this.

        And to think it was all because God was displeased a couple young queers got oiled up and danced on the bar in Stonewall… He decided to create a migration of his believers to rival Moses’s flight from Egypt, to their ancestral homeland, now the Nation’s salad bar.

          Some of your visions are so dark and I like it when you get like this. I realize you are having some fun with the religious aspects here but yet you make a good point. Could this invasion be divine punishment for our depravity? And the answer is clearly yes. The migrants are coming from all over the world so this isn’t an Indian reconquista though. And you also make a good point that the collateral will be some of the richest farmland on the continent.

    A Czar. Irony, anybody?

    How about an anti-White Czar too? You say Anti-Gentilism isn’t a thing. I know. But why not? And they don’t focus equally on all Non-Jews in their negative ads and policies, but rather US, the Whites – thus the need for our own Czar.

    • Nothing wrong with Czars. Czars reduce bureaucracy in a way legislative deliberations cannot.

      Frankly I’ve hoped for a Czar to take up the reins of the EPA. Instead of, say, DuPont asking to dump chemicals in a river, and creating a mandated environmental impact statement process, a terse, “No” would be far more efficient. Or a inquiry to explore minimizing boundaries of a National Monument to allow oil drilling… how about “Never”? Czars with a broad mandate to protect human health and welfare.

      Immigration/ICE is or was partially under the Czar command and control, at least at one time, I believe under Reagan’s Drug Czar.

      The entities that hate Czars are largely corporations. Czars can be very effective.

        All it would have taken is for DuPont CEO and VPs to be prosecuted, convicted, and sentenced to 25 years in prison. The other CEOs would have got the message loud and clear. No czars needed.

        Obama had a two-year window of opportunity to actually practice “hope and change”. He could have gone after the CEOs, broken up the big banks, etc. He decided he liked the status quo after all.

      Well no worries! This anti-Semitism Czar will naturally be an anti-White Czar. Sure they say this Czar will be scrutinizing the far right, the far left and Islamists. But that is quite comical. We all know the Islamists are untouchable so we can toss that out. Politically speaking there is nothing a Muslim can do wrong. And we all know the far left is untouchable. Antifa, BLM, Code Pink and others are all tools of anarchy the Elite like to use when it suits them. So that leaves the far right. The far right is fair game and its open season. And far right is code for Whites.

    The fact that no one is forcing Africa, Asia or Israel to “diversify” has led to Robert Whitaker’s famous phrase that “anti-racist” is a code word for “anti-white.”

    Many point to an Austrian-Japanese man with the unwieldy name of Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi as the original architect of white genocide. Kalergi established the Paneuropean Union in 1923, which many consider to be the precursor of the modern EU. In his 1925 book Practical Idealism, Kalergi wrote:

    “The man of the future will be of mixed race. Today’s races and classes will gradually disappear owing to the vanishing of space, time & prejudice. The Eurasian Negroid race of the future, similar in its appearance to the Ancient Egyptians, will replace the diversity of peoples with a diversity of individuals.”

    — from “Whiteness, the Original Sin” by Jim Goad

    Tate comment: Clearly, this plan has been in place at least since 1923. TPTB are promoting “Diversity is our Strength” only intending in the end to destroy true diversity via a radical atomization & isolation of each individual, helpless to resist the grand designs of their Masters’ intended New World Order. Individuality will be reduced to an endless stream of consumer trivialities & depraved strivings. In fact, in most of the developed world, this change has already been largely effected.

    Unfortunately for our Masters, their ambitious plans will come to incomplete fruition, creating havoc in its wake. Much as Francis Fukuyama’s infamous “End of History” will end with the vengeful return of History in its fullest flowering.

    Goad goes on to write:
    According to Kalergi, who was not Jewish but was apparently a rabid philo-Semite, Europe’s Jews would comprise an aristocratic “leader-nation” and “spiritual nobility” for this harmoniously mongrelized new world order:

    “No wonder that this people, that escaped Ghetto-Prison, developed into a spiritual nobility of Europe. Therefore, a gracious Providence provided Europe with a new race of nobility by the Grace of Spirit… It is the Jewish socialist leaders who want to redeem us with the highest self-denial from the original sin of capitalism, free people from injustice, violence & serfdom and change the liberated world into an earthly paradise.”

    History shows that those who seek to establish an “earthly paradise” usually wind up creating hell on earth.

    Tate: Isn’t it astonishing how the same world-improvers — Barbara Specter is a good example — always show up in the flush times, their pride & overweening arrogance setting up society to be flushed down the plumbing for realz.

      It does look like Japan and South Korea could be going the way of the West since both have started accepting refugees. But the situation is at least reversible for them at this point. There isn’t any such luck for the US and Europe. They didn’t assume there would be massive backlash though maybe? That backlash is just now starting really and its already immense. They are worried for sure and for good reason. The course of history is about to change and they are not the authors and overseers.

        Have you seen the Japanese birth-death numbers? For 2016: 981,000 births; 1,296,000 deaths; that’s 315,000 more deaths than births. Given Japan’s aging demographics, the gap will grow rather than shrink. https://www.nippon.com/en/features/h00160/

        Some people put the blame on too many men having fantasy sex lives with inanimate objects. If those Japanese girls can’t compete with inflatable dolls today, imagine what a realistic AI robot could do. (Sex, housework, and no back talk.) Yes, it’s always the woman’s fault. LOL

        As fiercely tribal and exclusionary as the Japanese are, I can’t imagine them opening up immigration to foreigners. They can barely tolerate fellow Japanese returning from job assignments overseas – stained with years of exposure to foreign ways.

        They are weakening. In Japan, there is talk accepting temporary workers in large numbers, despite the robot revolution. And of course such temps have become “perms” all over the West. Hopefully the Japanese obsession with rules will make them leave when the time is up. But it is a dangerous precedent in any case, leading to much complication – like marriages with native Japanese.

        The Women are all careerists now and the Japanese work ethic leaves little time for anything else. A society beginning to fail in a number of basic ways.

          Janos: ‘…The Women are all careerists now and the Japanese work ethic leaves little time for anything else. A society beginning to fail in a number of basic ways…’

          I should write a book about it. I arrived at the tail-end of the ‘old Japan’ – 1962 – and was thus able to gleam and appreciate the classical, if rigid, cultural values.

          From the mid-1960s, when Japan profited hugely from the quixotic American expedition in Vietnam, wealth and work roles began to mutate the society in unbelievable ways.

          The diet changed hugely – and not for the better. Alcohol and [legal] stimulant use soared. Greed became good.

          The ancient four-tiered social strata of SHI – NO – KO – SHO flipped (SHI = samurai culture, NO = farmers, KO = craftsmen & workers, SHO = lowly commercial shopkeepers and traders.

          There was no respect for the commercial types. From the mid-60s onward they were the victors and the ancient values (as espoused by anachronistic types like Mishima) were thrust aside, sneered at.

          Someone testily asked a lazy, sullen student of mine: ‘What do you want in life?’

          ‘I want to be Emperor’. Not so long ago that kind of snark would get you killed.

    In Cambodia, the impoverished, illiterate peasant women have, on average, about 10 kids. The thinking is that typically 4 of the kids will die, and, of the six survivors, usually there’ll be one kid who will be willing to take care of the mother in old age. By 1979, because of the Khmer Rouge genocide, Cambodia’s population had dropped from about 8 million to a bit over 5 million people. Since then, the population of Cambodia has risen to 16 million with concomitant environmental degradation. There’s not much that Captain America can do about it.

    Jim should consider taking a refresher class in blog writing and hire Fred as his tutor.

    “Christians? These Christians support a war on Yemen in which huge numbers of people are dying of mutilation, cholera, and starvation, a war they could stop with a telephone call. They similarly support butchery of Afghans from the air, massive killing in Syria, bombing of Somalis, and torture chambers around the world. Such is their Christianity. They lack even a shred of human decency. But they are Christians.

    Tell me, Mr Pompeo, Mr. Pence:. Have you ever seen a child die of starvation? I have heard it described. It takes many days. Crying, crying, crying, slowly getting weaker. The mother, frantic, desperate, going crazy. The child holds out his arms, expecting as children do that their mother will do something. The crying eventually stops. But maybe you would get more of a kick out of watching one die of cholera caused by your wars. Death by cholera is quicker, but more interesting: Puking and defecating uncontrollably, crying, crying. The dehydration kills them. Neat, huh? Meanwhile, Mike, you eat prime rib in Washington and talk of the sanctity of your faith. You are a goddamned pious monster. May you rot in hell, if any.

    We have Pompeo, a malignant manatee looking to start wars in which he will not risk his flabby amorphous ass also parading his Christianity. Bolton, a mean sonofabitch who belongs in a strait jacket, at least doesn’t pose as someone having a soul. And the Golden Tufted Cocatoo, too weak to control those around him, preening and tweeting. God save us.

    Those of a certain age may remember Christianity as a vague though real niceness practiced by people who would have been equally nice without it. Christmas meant trees glowing with lights and a nativity seen on the town square, this not yet being illegal, and choirs of children singing carols in front of houses, carols on public streets not yet having been found unconstitutional. It means a spaniel-eyed Jesus looking skyward in sappy adoration. It was pleasant. This is not the Christianity of Pence and Pompeo. They are amoral Christians. They are cruel Christians. They are evil Christians.”

      Among those forces that supported Trump in the elections and brought him to the White House, perhaps the most significant role is played by the so-called evangelical Christians, for whom the concept called the “Shield of Israel” plays a huge role.

      According to this concept, the United States is doomed to a victory in the final battle of the military forces of Good and Evil (Armageddon) precisely in this capacity – as a “Shield of Israel” .

      Moreover, if we recall that Hillary Clinton made Donald Trump participate in the elections as a spoiler, in this matter, to evangelical Christians should be added so-called neocons, which with a high degree of accuracy can be considered Hillary’s flying monkeys.

      But there is one subtlety – an understanding of the very concept of the “Shield of Israel” among evangelical Christians and neocons, I would say is completely opposite and goes back centuries, almost in the times of Esther, Mordecai, Artaxerxes and Haman.

      But in more recent times, Russia could fully feel this difference in the 1980s-1990s. The fact is that in the 80s the US President Ronald Reagan declared the USSR the Empire of Evil (with which he won in the Cold War and “ruined the USSR” according to the concept) at a meeting of evangelical Christians, while the neocon leader Hillary Clinton took advantage of this “victory”, and arranged the damned 90s in Russia.

      One may argue about what privatization would have been if President Bush had been elected for a second term in 1992, but the difference in the attitude of neocons and evangelical Christians to the very concept of “Shield of Israel”, as well as to both Testaments, Hillary Clinton demonstrated forcing victorious Israel to withdraw its troops from Lebanon, betraying its allies Maronite Christians and concluding the “Land for Peace” Agreement in Oslo.

      Peace which Israel is still waiting for, and, having given the Land, almost died in 2006 in Lebanon, when had to face Iran’s Hezbollah.

      Well, with Evangelical Christians, Hillary Clinton entered into a fundamental conflict when, during the election campaign of 2016, she declared that after becoming president, she would force all churches in the United States to comply with US laws prohibiting homosexual discrimination, including their right to marry in evangelical churches.

      I understand that in Russia a lot of people would have looked with pleasure as evangelical Christians who supported Reagan and his war against the “Empire of Evil”, Hillary Clinton makes to pray in churches where homosexuals were wed, but let me say that such gloating is contrary to Christianity.

      That is why it is fundamentally important for President Trump to contribute to the restoration of the original concept of the “Shield of Israel”, especially considering that this is the right time to put pressure on Iran, which not only repeatedly denied Israel’s right to exist, but also threatened to specifically destroy it, presumably with a nuclear bomb.

        SSL – My concern for those people only extends to wanting us to leave them alone to solve their own problems which are severe enough without us making them worse.

        We have overwhelming problems of our own which includes figuring out what to do with all the uneducated, impoverished, medically needy folks we are drowning in thanks to the greed fed profit hungry misdirected focus of our sprung system. There aren’t very many white kids who are going to be out the picking your beans, berries, and pulling the weeds out of your lawn and yet it seems to be your peoples’ main obsession how to hold back what amounts to a highly energetic if meager work force more than eager to come here to do our dirty work.

        I’m calling for an exchange program. For every intrepid person willing to trek across Mexico and brave the challenges it takes to confront our hostile greeters on the border they have to accept one of our (usually) white pigs who lives under freeway bridges and any place else where a blue tarp can be spread with room enough to sh&t and pile up garbage around the perimeter.

          I do not support our involvement in any of these foreign wars. I agree with you that we should not be involved in Afghanistan, Somalia or Yemen. I would say most Americans are not down with it. And yes there are many things we could be doing here at home to improve the country. Where we part paths is your view of immigration. Like I have said before where I live people clean their own homes, do their own lawns, and some people even grow a lot of their own food if they are lucky enough to have land. We don’t need foreigners doing our work and neither do you! And because your view on this is the dominant and enforced policy in this country it is being forced upon us and lower skilled Americans are now losing their jobs to foreigners. The pigs under the over passes that are so inconvenient for you you know. But at least those you do manage to muster empathy for can just walk in and start taking advantage of the generous benefits awaiting. Yet another in your face double standard. It really does get tiring. The constant inflow of strangers and the associated lack of social and cultural unity, and then trust in general will only make matters worse but its an inconvenient truth because multiculturalism is supposedly gospel.

We have much to do to alleviate pain, suffering, poverty, etc., here let alone the rest of the world. You are free to dedicate your efforts and resources here or abroad or both. But taxpayer funds and government benefits should be for citizens only. Its just common sense. There is no religious obligation for us to take in refugees. But if you would like to assist foreign refugees with your own resources please do and please go abroad. I think you’ll find many distressed American families and individuals could use the help. Its biblical to get one’s own house in order before attempting to clean anothers anyway. If you cared to know.

      So you’re disappointed that Biden has the early edge? Well you should be happy. He is #metoo-proof. Alyssa Milano digs Uncle Joe and doesn’t think his hair sniffs, cop a feels, and hurl inducing nasty whispers are any big deal at all. After all he is just super real and is so genuinely affectionate he just can’t help himself. So the wokesters will accept him even if he is just unwanted leftovers.

      The big big lie in all of this is college. Most families are still pushing their kids to go to college when college in most cases are simply indoctrination camps and giant money pits. Every aspect of media and entertainment today pushes this artificial war of the sexes and a lot of people sop it up without thinking. The schools reinforce it. It’s all about destroying the nuclear family so the State can reign supreme. This isn’t sustainable and certainly leaves women and men unhappy and unfulfilled.

      Just letting you and my fellow partisans know that I appear to be allowed back in by technical oversight. I was swiftly re-banned after my last comment a couple of months ago. I said absolutely NOTHING controversial!

      What think ye of such an infamous reputation that my mere presence arouses such an uproar???

      Last night, when I discovered that the digital jail guards were sleeping, I offered an answer to SoftStarLight regarding Trump’s attempt to defy TPTB (you must add your own reverb).

      In short, if Trump has the courage to do so, he must do what President Merkin Muffley did in Dr. Strangelove. Trump must reach out to Putin and Russia, give them whatever information they need, and the two of them can destroy the Fifth Columns that have uncloaked themselves and are going for broke.

      Somehow, Trump and Putin must bypass the MSM (reverb on maximum) and tell the tattered remnants of the American people the real situation (even to condemn his own party and the RINOs in it) and what has to be done. Yes, there will be shrieks of “We told you there was Russian Collusion!” but, it will fall on deaf ears and double the resolve of Americans to destroy the sepsis within the body politic.

        Yeah Jim, If only. Trump has completely disillusioned me about himself. I can’t even have positive fantasies that involve him anymore. I don’t believe he was ever very serious about saving America. And to extent he may have desired it, it was “wish” not Will. The donor Class comes first. And of course Israel and Israeli Americans too. We come in a very distant third. Triumph of the Wish? Not much of a ring to it.

        And this isn’t even getting to what his Vision actually was, or if he was serious, would he have known how to get there. All we know is that he filled his cabinet with Swamp creatures and that he was cowed by the Leftist Judiciary and the hostile legislature. Nothing very radical would be possible at this late date except by going around both of these. He’s afraid of them or the ones behind them. Don’t blame him but we needed a Hero. He ain’t it. And his Vision? Probably some kind of 1970’s America I guess. More folly. You can’t go back but only forward.

        I admire Putin more, but Russian White Nationalists can’t stand him. He seems to want a reborn Russian Empire sans the Communism, and he doesn’t care if it’s White or not. A Civic “Nationalist” who isn’t a Nationalist. Russian Culture for Tartars, Mongolians, Muslims, and Eastern European Catholics. And as you know, it won’t work over there just like our version doesn’t work here. Unlike Trump, he has a clear Vision – it just doesn’t make any sense. Yeah, but if he would be willing to help us take down Clown America, I wouldn’t say no!

    Out in LA, Johnny Rotten, age 63, former Sex Pistols frontman, is publicly complaining about homeless vagrants encroaching on the property surrounding his mansion. They have threatened him, his wife is frightened, they’re carrying diseases, they’ve formed into gangs, and so on. I didn’t realize Johhny rotten was still above ground, but he is, apparently one of the old guys in the neighborhood who shout “get off my lawn.” It was Sid Viscious who OD’d in the hotel room in Manhattan back in the 70s, not Johnny Rotten. Against all odds, Kieth Richard like, Johhny Rotten has survived. Seriously CFNers, if Johnny Rotten and Cher are complaining about vagrants and illegals in LA, it really must be a problem. Now if we hear from Barbera Streisand on these matters it would be earth shattering!

    In America, the Biblical associations of modern politics play a large role in political life. For example, the so-called neocons sincerely believe that America is the “Shield of Israel”, and for this fact much will be forgiven, including the destruction of humanity, if it turns out that we live in the times that the prophets Daniel and Ezekiel speak of.

    Actually, the whole strategy of the grouping that Ronald Reagan personified, which allegedly brought victory to the West in the Cold War, was built on the religious conviction that atheists cannot press the red button and therefore there is no reason to be too ceremonious with the USSR.

    The most interesting thing is that today the neocons, looking through the imaginary gun sight at Orthodox Russia, continue to be sure that today’s Russia is still the same atheistic Empire of Gog and Magog (or each of them separately) in which there is no reason to prefer physical death to spiritual slavery, and therefore Russia’s nuclear arsenal can be considered non-existent.

    Of course, it is very funny to look at how they consider themselves the creators of Israel and build on this sand the most complicated geopolitical theories, despite the fact that the current Israel was created by the Stalinist USSR and Joseph Stalin personally.

    And if you recall this indisputable historical fact, then all these theories turn into their opposite and start crashing head-on with their creators, since it turns out that Gog and Magog are not Russia at all.

    The fact of the matter is that Americans in general and the neocons in particular do not fully understand meaning of the phrase “in fact”, but this does not mean that they are not serious about their apocalyptic theories.

    They take them very seriously and lately I have been witnessing the appropriate cultural exchange, in the result of which the Chapter 38 of the prophet Ezekiel more and more often begins to emerge on the Russian swamp in the form of not very pleasantly smelling bubbles that explode with liberal propaganda, ionizing the air around.


    1 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

    2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,

    3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:

    4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:

    5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:

    6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.

    7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.

    8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.

    9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

    10 Thus saith the Lord God; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:

    11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

    12 To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

    Is this the current America “land free from the sword, collected from many nations,” “carefree, living carelessly – they all live without walls, and they have neither bars nor doors.”?

    As you can see, this is a completely different world, to which it is still necessary to live, perhaps through surviving a nuclear war.

    Or not surviving.

          OFF TOPIC ALERT

          Janos,

          Could you recommend any books on siddhas–magical powers of buddhas?

          Jen

          • Janos Skorenzy April 28, 2019 at 7:42 pm #

            Yes. “The Art of the Deal” by Donald J Trump.

            What is your context? Do you want to develop them? Or are you interested in that group of Indo-Tibetan yogis known as the 84 Siddhas and the deeds they did with their powers?

            If the first, probably the the Theravadin text, the Visudhimagga. A modern compendium based on it is called, The Path of Fire, if memory serves.

            If the second, I don’t know. Nor about how the Tantric Buddhists do what they do. They left the old methodology behind for the most part it seems. If your interests are cultural and/or historical, there may be some books about it. Go to Amazon and look for the 84 Maha Siddhas.

            I was thinking about taking up the Dagger (Vajrakilyaya) against the Evil Ones. But the Dalai Lama has forbidden the teaching of the Dagger in the West. And reading a bit about it, his reasons are probably good ones. In any case, it’s a very alien Spiritual Universe than the one in which I reside, one pre-Buddhist or Bon. Probably doing the imprecations in the Psalms would be more effective for me – and safer for me as well.

            As Shakespeare said:

            I can call spirits from the vasty deep.
            So can I. So can any man. But will they come when you call?

            JS: And if they do come, will they do what you ask? Or go when you send them away?

            My ancestors crossed the plains to Utah with Brigham Young. I was born in Utah and attended Brigham Young University (and San Jose State afterwards).

            Now I am officially Presbyterian USA–mostly for aesthetic & social reasons at this time. I took a 5 year break in the early 2000’s when I found the head pastor too annoying–and volunteered at Adyashanti’s Open Gate Sangha. For a short time, my son attended Naropa University, which was founded by a Tibetan Lama–Chogyam Trungpa.

            But I love learning about all religions! (I’ve actually met Huston Smith and have an autographed copy of one of many books.) I’ve made it a goal to read as many religious texts as possible. Right now I am working on the Upanishads.

          Sadiq Khan said terror attacks were ‘part and parcel’ of living in London. He did not say ‘just’ and he did not say ‘no big deal’, YOU said that. In other words…

          Terror attacks are indeed part and parcel of living in London. If someone wants to attack somewhere symbolic of England or Britain, they will first attack London, then Manchester and Birmingham. Just as the IRA did.

          Londoners are used to it. It never becomes ‘no big deal’. But it remains part and parcel of their lives.

            No big deal? You people keep coming out with this grotesque nonsense, as if you were totally unaware of the reaction all over the world to Bataclan, Charlie Hebdo, Nice, London, Manchester or Sri Lanka. I haven’t seen the New Zealand flag superimposed on buildings and on pictures everywhere online the way the French one was. Or everyone saying the equivalent of ‘Je suis Charlie’ – everywhere.

            ‘Someone else’ did this the other day, claiming the reaction to the Sri Lankan attack was nothing about the victims and all about the poor Muslims who risked reprisals. To which I offered three articles within the very same day all about the victims from the pretty liberal Guardian – no mention about the Muslim population until a couple of days later when it was mentioned that 800 ordinary Muslims had had to be hidden for their own safety, which was justified news too but didn’t get any more than that mention, as far as I could see.

            It’s pathetic – why don’t you give it up.

            Well then what I said hit home for you if you got so upset about it. Look no further than your comment here to see how you do defend Islam. What Tate said is true. In mainstream news anytime a mosque or synagogue is attacked it is a major story with multi-day headlines and intensive coverage. If a church is attacked or Christians are killed (which actually occurs most often) there is no such intense coverage or focus on anti-Christian bigotry etc. The double standard is painfully obvious and clear. So much so that people routinely complain about it. But you wouldn’t have any idea about that would you? Just another far right conspiracy theory…

            On top of the three articles in one single day that I linked for you (in the GUARDIAN!!!) that talked about the Christian victims in Sri Lanka that you said were being ignored, here’s one today by an expert on Islamic terrorism that I read before coming on here to read you misguided tripe. I’ve just bought his book. Maybe you should too. You can see his credentials in the ‘Look inside this book’ tab on Amazon.

            Well you can call me names and smear me Alba but I wish you would stop to think through this rather than getting so angry. I am only trying to help you and you lash out. Ok so the defense in this case is not an outright defense, as if to say you said something like, “Islam is wonderful” or anything. The defense part comes in by responding to Tate that there was complete support for non-Muslims or victims of Muslim terror in the incidences you listed like Bataclan, Charlie Hebdo, etc., but not acknowledging his statement about the lack of coverage or concern for the Christians in Sri Lanka in this most recent incident being discussed. I took it as a deflection honestly but clearly given your emotion I see you intended it differently than just a deflection. For instance mainstream outlets couldn’t even bare the thought of mentioning Christian victims so they were called “Easter worshippers”. And then there was the immediate concern about the Muslims who might suffer some sort of backlash. But again we are dealing with hundreds of dead Christians and quite honestly I don’t care about Muslims who have to hide because of fear of reprisals from attacks there community started. Everywhere Muslims are they are at war with all of those that are round about them. These are things I wish you would acknowledge.

          • GreenAlba April 29, 2019 at 10:24 am #

            Well you can call me names and smear me Alba but I wish you would stop to think through this rather than getting so angry.

            If you slander me I will call you out on it. No apologies.

            “I am only trying to help you …

            Words fail me. Moving on…

            The defense part comes in by responding to Tate that there was complete support for non-Muslims or victims of Muslim terror in the incidences you listed like Bataclan, Charlie Hebdo, etc., but not acknowledging his statement about the lack of coverage or concern for the Christians in Sri Lanka in this most recent incident being discussed.

            (1) Tate was dishonest in saying that Christians are acknowledged less that Muslims in the event of a terror attack. There were people in the streets all over the world holding vigils against Jihadi terrorist after Charlie Hebdo and Bataclan. I said NOTHING defensive of Islam. Nothing.

            I took it as a deflection honestly but clearly given your emotion I see you intended it differently than just a deflection. For instance mainstream outlets couldn’t even bare the thought of mentioning Christian victims so they were called “Easter worshippers”.

            Disingenuous nonsense – they were Easter worshippers – people worshipping at Easter. Like Christmas shoppers shopping at Christmas. Pathetic bit of linguistic special pleading.

            “And then there was the immediate concern about the Muslims who might suffer some sort of backlash.

            The immediate concern was for the victims. In every news source I looked at. Again, the world is not responsible for the narrowness of your information sources.

            “Quite honestly I don’t care about Muslims who have to hide because of fear of reprisals from attacks there community started.”

            Thank you for being honest. If not very Christian. Naturally you will be completely understanding if someone shoots one of your friends entirely because they happen to be ‘American’, because of all the atrocities committed in your name over the decades – you and your friends being part of the ‘community where the attacks started’.

            Forgot the link.

            https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/29/sri-lanka-bombings-terror

            Those of us who genuinely want to know about Islamic terrorism actually read stuff like this.

            And the book, which I’ve just bought:

            https://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Threat-Islamic-Militancy/dp/1784701475/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=jason+burke&qid=1556548358&s=gateway&sr=8-1

            The New Threat from Islamic Militancy

            Not that I don’t know a whole lot more about it than you before even reading it.

            Interesting research. Thank you for sharing. I will only say that language is very important. Otherwise there wouldn’t be a threat of arrest for those not using correct personal pronouns in some countries for individuals with gender dysphoria. Thus in my mind the use of “Easter Worshippers” is a clear way of leaving out the important descriptor which would be Christian. It is isn’t linguistic special pleading. Words do matter.

          • SoftStarLight April 29, 2019 at 10:59 am #

            incorrect personal pronouns….

          • GreenAlba April 29, 2019 at 1:45 pm #

            ” I will only say that language is very important.”
            Of course it is. That’s why I won’t let you away with lies and distortions.

            “Thus in my mind the use of “Easter Worshippers” is a clear way of leaving out the important descriptor which would be Christian.”

            Exactly. In your mind. Like all the people who say we can’t celebrate Christmas any more, even though that’s what I do every year and every card I send has ‘Merry Christmas’ on it.

            Who the f*ck else would be worshipping at Easter? Do you even hear yourself?

    Johnny Rotten, Venice Beach:

    “Get off my lawn you lousy bums!”

    In all fairness his wife IS suffering from alzheimers, and one of the esteemed vagrants DID hurl a brick thru her bedroom window. It is not known if there was a message attached to the brick, possibly a love note.

    Maybe it said “God bless the Queen, She aint no human being”

    But I doubt it. Just a homeless dude getting even with the man, and Johnny Rotten is the man.

      Someone who met him [lives nearby and worked for Virgin] says
      JR-JL is not the nicest person.
      However JL did go up against Jimmy Sa-VILE. Good for him.

      • BackRowHeckler April 28, 2019 at 8:39 pm #

        I read a little about him, Malth.

        they say he’s a little prickly; on the other hand, when his step daughter — lead singer for the band ‘The Slits’ — passed away from cancer, he took in her 3 kids and gave them what is described a proper home, made sure they went to school and church etc, and had everything they needed, which wasn’t happening with the mother when she was alive.

        The vagrants engulfing LA, do you see it? Is it everywhere, or just confined to a few neighborhoods? From the article on Johnny Rotten we know theu have reached up into the Venice beach area.

        As far as misspelled words, I don’t really proofread these posts, just go back and take out words to make posts as short as possible.

        As far as not being the nicest person, his name is Johnny ROTTEN!

        Too bad Sid Vicious isn’t still with us. He’d be sitting on Johnny Rotten’s front porch, with Johnny, in Venice Beach, sipping VO7 on ice, wearily watching hordes of vagrants set up camp just outside the property line, fingering the revolvers in their pockets, shaking their heads and thinking what the hell is happening in this world.

    It was Baudelaire who said, “a sweetheart (mistress) is a bottle of wine, a wife is a wine bottle.” Whatever the case, in this vineyard of politics it isn’t just that the grapes are sour for the Dems, it’s also that their very vines are blighted with rot and twisting around and throttling them, as they look for obstruction everywhere while it closes ever more tightly around their own necks.

    We must crush the Dems, stomp them, make them whine, make them wail and whimper.

    The perpetraitors must be imprisoned.

    MAGA not MAKA

    • Tate April 28, 2019 at 6:53 pm #

      The rot runs too deep I’m afraid. The body politic is “puffed with the adipocere of death & purple with the shadow of decay” (h/t Clark Ashton Smith). The corruption has laced the whole throughout its substance. Bringing down the Dems will necessarily pull in many of the leading GOP lights. For that reason, don’t count on Trump or any of the other compromised figures on the cucked Right to spearhead the charge. Won’t happen. But if it does — by miscalculation? — it heralds the long anticipated revolution.

    Cats are being poisoned by poison sausage from the air in Australia. Lets all hope the Embassy Cat did not get there! I’m no fan of cats but some shit is just not right.

    Speaking of which? Any news on Julian?

    Any at all?

    • hmuller April 28, 2019 at 7:38 pm #

      I heard they hid him under the Federal Witness Protection Program. They made him Rum Tum Tugger in the road show of “Cats”.

      • K-Dog April 28, 2019 at 10:48 pm #

        They did? Well that goes to show there ‘s a whole lot of blowback going on then! Those necktie collars really pissed Embassy Cat off for him to flip like that. Not surprising though. Cats are cats. Rum Tum says put me in a house I’d rather be in a flat. Put me in a flat and I want to be in a house. Typical cat behavior.

        I hope your story gets out because while I’m no fan of them the genocide of an entire race of Australian cats just to snuff Embassy Cat seems over the top to me. Yet I do know national security is going to do what national security does. The hive mind will rule!

        Is this an inside scoop? Or just a scoop of kitty litter?

        • K-Dog April 28, 2019 at 10:53 pm #

          You had to be talking about Cat because Julian is off the radar.

    As much as I hate to defend the NYT, this is much ado about nothing. I looked at the cartoon and it’s clearly political—not antisemitic. The presence of the Star? Clearly that’s to let you know it’s Israel. Should they have used the Israeli flag instead? Would that have made everything A-OK? Or is it simply not possible to have a political cartoon involving Israel that isn’t antisemitic?

    If the NYT did anything wrong, it’s in not realizing that after decades of cultivating liberal snowflakes, they couldn’t possibly run a cartoon like that. Duh! No wonder major meltdowns ensued.

    Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh is apparently On the Lam.

    Her houses were raided a few days ago.

    If you know where she is, call your local FBI office.

    Meanwhile, in other Baltimore news, on Sunday, 7 people shot at a cookout. And what a cookout!

    Orioles are in last place and not too many fans are showing up for their games. Baltimore is in trouble, my friends.

    • BackRowHeckler April 29, 2019 at 1:56 am #

      And what was on the menu at this Charm City cookout?

      Hot lead and cold steel.
