Did you entertain feelings of doom during last week’s brain-withering heat-wave? The sheer anxious waiting and wishing for it to end was a nice analog to the stifling psycho-political miasma oppressing this nation — alternately known as the republic (for which we stand) and “our democracy,” as “Joe Biden” likes to style his regime of lawfare, warfare, and garish state-sponsored depravity. Well, rejoice and ring them bells! The political weather is breaking. The week ahead looks like an all-you-can-eat, steam-table banquet of consequence.
The Supreme Court (SCOTUS) teased last week with an opening round of lesser decisions on bump stocks for rifles, abortion pills for women inconvenienced by motherhood, and a few other interesting cases. The court’s term draws to a close with the end of June. Pending are several cases liable to rattle the windows and shake down the walls.
One is the question as to whether the government can use private company proxies to censor constitutionally protected free speech (Murthy v. Missouri). The case has been simmering for years, with lower court actions that took a dim view of the intel blob’s coercive intrusions into social media. Probably the most galling part of the story is that virtually every act of censorship and de-platforming was committed against those telling the truth about some vital public issue, whether it was the danger and ineffectiveness of the Covid vaccines, or the probity of the 2020 elections, or the existence of Hunter Biden’s laptop and its dastardly contents. That is, the government’s actions were entirely in the service of lying to the American people.
This raises a greater question that redounds from the courts onto the November election: just why is the US government so deeply invested in all that lying? The answer is obvious: it has been engaged in nefarious activities that it seeks to hide and deny. And all of that has served to wreck the country. Even worse, the government has gaslit half of the public into cheerleading and rolling over for all that dishonesty, so as to keep them “safe” from hobgoblins such as “misinformation.” Considering “Joe Biden’s” cratering poll numbers, it looks like the public is tired of this incessant lying and is fixing to vote his regime out of office.
We begin to see evidence that even some hardcore regime hacks are breaking out of that consensus trance, for instance, the Cuomo brothers denouncing the lies around lawfare and Covid. Andrew, once the New York state AG himself, told the shocked studio audience on Bill Maher’s HBO gabfest, beloved by Wokesters, that the Alvin Bragg case never should have been brought to trial. His brother Chris has been telling his podcast followers that Covid policy was a fiasco and the vaccines were harmful, and he apologized for his prior shifty reporting on all that when he had a CNN show.
Also upcoming at SCOTUS: Fischer v the United States, as to whether the DOJ tortured a federal statute on shredding financial records to overcharge J-6 rioters. In 2015 the court limited the scope of that law (part of the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act), but Attorney General Merrick Garland used it anyway as an all-purpose dragnet to prosecute hundreds of people who merely paraded through the US Capitol — which provided legal footing for the House J-6 committee to color that event dishonestly as “an insurrection.” A decision against the government should lead to the release of many J-6 prisoners and perhaps lawsuits for malicious prosecution under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA). It would also toss out the pertinent charges in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s DC case against Donald Trump for supposedly fomenting an “insurrection.”
Another biggie case pending (Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo; Relentless v. Department of Commerce) will determine whether executive agencies of the US Government (e.g., the EPA, CDC, Depts. of Energy, Education, Commerce, etc.) can issue regulations as if they have the force of law — that is, push citizens and businesses around by fiat where the law is ambiguous or nonexistent. A lot has changed since SCOTUS initially sought to define the scope of agency authority in their 1984 decision known as Chevron v. Natural Resources Defense Council. The federal bureaucracy has become an unaccountable behemoth, issuing sometimes arbitrary and capricious regulations that make it increasingly difficult to accomplish anything in our country. It has also enabled much of the government’s monkey business around Covid. This court appears to lean towards overturning Chevron.
Also pending this week: whether SCOTUS will stay Steve Bannon’s four-month jail sentence scheduled to begin July 1 while he appeals to the SCOTUS. Bannon was convicted for contempt of Congress when he refused to testify to the J-6 committee, basing his refusal on executive privilege. Note that SCOTUS did not keep White House advisor Peter Navarro out of prison for exactly the same charge. The DOJ must reply to SCOTUS’s request for “input” on the matter by Wednesday June 26th at 4:00 p.m. At issue is whether the government is interfering in the election by shutting up Bannon during the climax months of the campaign.
Today, Judge Aileen Cannon will ask Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lawyers to do some ‘splainin’ about how come he got to be Special Counsel without being nominated by a president or confirmed by the Senate, which is the lawful procedure. It’s therefore possible that Judge Cannon can determine that Mr. Smith is not operating lawfully. That’s not the only thing that can deflate the so-called Mar-a-Lago Documents case, but it could lead to a determination that this was a malicious political prosecution, with consequences for AG Merrick Garland.
By the way, you know what this case is really about, don’t you? I’ll tell you: the FBI went into Mar-a-Lago looking for Mr. Trump’s binder containing evidence of FBI and DOJ misconduct in the RussiaGate caper. Whether they found it or not, we don’t know, nor do we know if there are other copies of the materials. But you might surmise that a lot of officials in those agencies are a little nervous about their criminal liability, especially with the presidential election poll numbers looking how they do. In other words, the Mar-a-Lago raid was a cover-up operation.
And Thursday, of course, comes the debate to end all debates. Makes you cringe a little just to imagine it.

“Leftism might actually be noble if their concern for the marginalized wasn’t simply an incidental externality to their seething hatred of the normal and the good.” —David Pivtorak on “X”
In a healthy society, the “marginalized” are marginalized because they are neither normal nor good.
In the DemSoc OneState, the “marginalized” are a utility belt of of warnings and retributions. Let no horror bw wasted. When plagued by mosquitoes victims overlook wolves.
Now if society could only agree on what “normal” and “good” mean. The death of common sense rolls on as the human race continues to try to determine how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.
For a long, long time, Christendom had a pretty good idea of what “normal” and “good” meant. Can you make the determination, or has your judgement been compromised?
Yes yes, your “Christendom” the same one that supplied the burning of witches, the Jewish blood libel, the Crusades, Pope Pius Xii colluding with the Nazis, the Spanish Inquisition, flat earth theory…. So if that is the best you can come up with for who determines what is “normal and good” head back to the drawing board and take Christianity off the board.
Some lies here. Pope Pius Xll wrote encyclicals against National Socialism. And refuge was given to some Jews in the Vatican. Indeed, the Chief Rabbi of Rome (I’m blanking on his name) was so inspired by Pius that he converted to Catholicism and took his first name, Eugenio, as his own
Did this precipitate the campaign of Jewish slander against Pope Pius Xll?
Yawn.
Today it’s “How many drag queens can dance on the head of a pin, before an audience of kindergarteners”.
I suspect that number is proportionate to the number of demons that dance in the eyes of one Bill Gates
“ In a healthy society, the “marginalized” are marginalized because they are neither normal nor good.”
I give you Tyler Cherry
Physiognomy is real.
Look at how stunted and hideous so many of the evil demons who have torn down Western Civ. have been
After all, working with the “unhoused” as overpaid social workers, and climbing in and out of tents with granola bars and juice boxes for groups such as the mentally ill, racialized minorities and untreated drug addicts, is where the virtue signalling is at its most attractive………
Lord Lytton made this point in regards to the French revolution. As Mohammad said, Beware the Eye of the Believer.
Two of the defining characteristics of truly evil men appear to be physiognomy and obscure parentage.
The DemSoc OneState is a “1984” telescreen, the Two Minutes Hate, memory holes, and Room 101. We have always been at war with our enemy of the moment…but we have floating fortresses that guarantee victory!
The Party has imported and installed 20 million+ lumpen proletariate. Check! The Outer Party has been sculpted into meaningless servitude correcting the past. Check! All that remains is to upholster Room 101…everywhere.
Check.
I’m not so sure Bill Maher’s show is “beloved by Wokesters.” He’s done a pretty good job, in fact, of shredding Woke-ism at every opportunity. That’s one thing keeping him sort of relevant.
As for the Cuomos, I doubt very much their “apologies” are genuine or that they are “breaking out of the trance.” They are Deep State actors giving a restive public a little bit of red meat to save their own asses later. Even if Andrew stands up and acknowledges the thousands of nursing home residents he killed with his Covid executive orders, will he go to prison for it? Of course not.
Andrew has common enemies with Trump in the NY cabal that drove Andrew from office.
As for Fredo, it didn’t go over big with people that RFK jr. had him on his team, so I’m guessing somebody told him that his weak sauce “we didn’t know” admissions weren’t good enough; he needed to come up with an actual (albeit half-assed) apology.
The Cuomos are scum of the earth. You lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
If you listen carefully, Cuomo isn’t saying that the Trump trial was bogus or unlawful. He’s saying that it hurts Candidate Biden, because the People have spoken repeatedly that they want Trump, not Biden, and they become more vociferous with each added legal insult to their candidate. They put their money where their mouth is, and now the billionaires are following suit. The writing is on the wall regarding the election. There’s nothing left but the wailing, and screaming, and cheating, and maybe a JFK replay in store.
Now, regarding the heinous insult: “abortion pills for women inconvenienced by motherhood”.
. There are a lot of men spewing their sperm around and walking away from the consequences. I speak from personal experience. Marriage and the divorce courts were no protection when my disabled child’s father walked away. Were it not for my own family’s strong financial support, she would not have lived 40 years, to die of her disability one night, peaceful. She had a happy life, as much as her abilities and my resources permitted.
I can only conclude that the author has never financially supported a child and its mother, let alone provided emotional support and parenting My choice, and I would not impose my choice on any other woman. Nor should any man think he has the right to do so.
D- Sorry for your loss. Are you saying that you wish you had aborted your child? By the way, most abortion are for convenience. Only a small percentage are to protect the mother or for severe congenital anomalies.
I said nothing of the kind.
And your opinion, the opinion of many ignorant men, that most abortions are for convenience, is repeatedly demonstrated to be the most insulting form of misogynist propaganda and false.
It really doesn’t matter what you think, dude.
What matters is what you do and what you pay for. And how much you can afford.
You don’t know that.
You are right, Demeter. There is a lot of woman bashing that goes on on this blog, and part of it is the insistence that women be punished for having sex by being forced to raise a child they are not capable of raising in a loving, nurturing way
.
Props to you for loving your child and to your family for chipping in to make sure she had a good life.
Maybe if we went back to making women wear Scarlet A’s, but let unwanted embryos be aborted? That compromise might work to make sure that every baby born from now on is a wanted child, while still punishing the harlots who had unapproved sex.
But, speaking for society, they are very insistent on forcing women to reproduce, but, like deadbeat fathers, not interested in supporting the resulting children. Nope, as soon as they are born, they become “gimmees”, not worthy of food or housing or mothering.
Slava Embryos! The Hell With Children!
Demeter
You demean women.
Who is responsible for the entrance of all those sperms?
What would happen if 1. Abortion was criminalized again and 2. BC pills became ineffective.
Oh boy, back to the 50s and women having to slow down on sex to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies.
IOW, having the responsibility for birth control. Sex in the City would be dead.
God made sex fun and feel good so that the human race would propagate, “Go forth and multiply”.
With pleasure comes responsibility,. Like in most things today, the responsibility part seems to be forgotten.
Women ARE the first order protection to avoid the bad aspects of sex. Not abortion. Just say no, to a big portion of the macho men you seem to be attracted to, fatherhood is the last thing on their minds. If you would just realize this, recognize and hook up with responsible men, and not give away the milk for free, things might right themselves a bit.
A good example is the Hefner cult, Trump included. Women are attracted to this type of male, rich ones especially. How many, in their search for the ideal male companion, look for return from the men that have no intention to give any. The #metoo crew get more fodder.
Men may be cads, and they sure can be. But women, on the receiving end, show ignorance, stupidity, excessive empathy, etc. and get themselves trapped into reproductive situations they want no part of.
You are an exceptional woman to support your child for all those years. What would you advise girls and women if you had their attention, to do to reduce the misuse of sex we see today? I will bet it would not be aimed at men, remember where those Hefner men’s brains are located.
JohnAZ, I whole heartedly agree with you.
My late father always told me that men have a duty to value womanhood and to protect their women but it is women who are the gatekeepers of morality. Why? Because it is usually the women who say “yes” or “no” to the advances of the male. I’m not talking about cases of rape, I’m talking about consensual adult sexual encounters.
Women don’t get pregnant with a kiss. The act takes effort and considerable access for both the man and a woman.
Yes, men shouldn’t be spewing their seed everywhere and then walking away from the consequences. Women, however, shouldn’t be spreading her legs and permitting the man access to the location where he can spew his seed and impregnate her unless the man is her husband and has demonstrated worthiness to do so.
Demeter’s angry response to our hosts words is out of line. He wasn’t referring to women who marry worthless men that abandon her during her our of need. He was clearly referring to women who use abortion as a means of birth control because she wants to go out and sleep around but she is too damned lazy or selfish to get her tubes tied, use a diaphragm or make her filthy partner use a rubber. That’s what he was referring to.
Mac, most abortions are for convenience. Women can’t control themselves. They have unprotected sex with an unworthy male and then they get pregnant. So they go get an abortion and murder the innocent child her careless, selfish acts have created.
Abortion has become a preferred method of birth control for many women because the women can’t control themselves and can’t say “NO” to the trash men that pursue them.
It is evil.
JohnAz, it’s no use reasoning with women about their “bodily rights”, a topic deeply emotional.
Basically, it comes down to, “I’ll do whatever I want with my body and you wicked men must pay the consequences”.
Have to agree with Mac. He made no judgment regarding Demeter’s tragic case. I had the exact same question after I read her comment. What did JHK’s comment about abortion pills have to do with her story? She made the correlation. That is the obvious question…that Mac reasonably asked.
And there are fantabulous numbers of abortions of convenience. Even people who have parties afterward and post about it on FB, jubilantly. So, I don’t see anything personal here, nor heinously insulting from JHK by pointing out what many people do in that realm these days. Unless Demeter would like to explain why she conflated the two topics…we’d be all ears.
Do you know how to read? It clearly was Demeter’s choice to have her child, which she raised without the father, but with help from her family.
For the record, had abortion been legal in the 50s I would not be here. My mother convinced a doctor to give her a hysterectomy. Her aunt found out & stopped it.
There is nothing like growing up in a family that resents your existence.
Nobody should be forced to give birth to a baby they don’t want.
And nobody should be forced to be born into a world that doesn’t want them.
Nobody knows what karma might have been completed with a single action. What life my soul could have moved on to without the meddling of a busybody into the life of a 30+ year old mother of 2 in another household in another town.
As the old saying goes, dogs fight among themselves but unite when the wolf appears.
Mary’s mother found her pregnancy (Mary) inconvenient and sought to get rid of it. Her aunt stopped her and Mary was born to a resentful mother. Mary seems to wish that she was aborted. Sad! In any case, at least it serves to help disprove Demi’s theory that most abortions are not for convenience. Convenience is an Idol with modern Western women. Ancient civilizations sacrificed children to appease the gods. Sometimes they were terrified that if they didn’t, the Sun wouldn’t come back. But modern women just do it for to cover their irresponsibility.
@Jarek, my father resented me too, because I was born a girl. I thought my big sister was the smartest, funniest, coolest person alive. And then she told me she hates me, has always hated me, will always hate me due to her “sibling rivalry.” My father left everything to her.
The only one of them that didn’t try to kill me was my half sister.
As to my preferences, my point is what difference would it have made? . Afaik, life’s a bitch & then you die. If we’d had fentanyl back around 71-72, I would have checked out then.
What good has come my way has largely been stolen.
I get by on SSs onw
I agree, Demeter, and I am sick of men weighing in on how women should feel about motherhood.
Motherhood without fatherhood is a distorted family model. You are right, men should have strong protective feelings about fatherhood, too. Parenting is a joint exercise.
And I am sick of women devaluing the importance of fatherhood thinking they can be both to their sons and daughters.
Fact is, children need both a mother and a father in the home in order to grow up somewhat normal in today’s ruined world. Women can’t do it alone. Men can’t do it alone. Only working together does it work best.
How should the mother bird “feel” about sitting on her eggs?
@Beryl
If you take “o” out of “Cuomos”, and rearrange the letters, you get “scum”.
It amazes me, Mario talked all the time about values, and even wanted “values” taught in New York’s schools, and when he said that I right away was thinking “whose values?”
With narcissists, it’s always only about their values, not yours.
Do as they say, and not as they do.
They get to decide which values are important, and on and on, etc…
Now for the upcoming shitshow fake debate, I can’t wait to see how badly that turns out!
I’m betting everyone comes out of that with shit on their face, sorta like the proverbial shit hitting the fan!
I can’t imagine any thinking person taking it seriously, but what an entertaining clown show it will be.
I will probably actually watch it for laughs, and I’m sure its ratings will be an all time high for any fake debate like it.
Andrew would love to be subbed in for Joe.
Maher is a well-spoken pseudo-intellectual pothead who is an inch deep and a mile wide. Do a little research on the former name of his production company.
Fredo followed Maher’s lead in softening stance on the death shot when the possibility of Nuremberg 2.0 trials reared its head. You’re right, John K – giving up a little red meat to save their asses but they don’t have to worry.
None of the deep state will be held accountable – don’t believe a word of orange man’s blather. He’s not going to prosecute himself.
RFK Jr is the only candidate with a deep state axe to grind and they won’t even let him on the debate stage. He will continue to be marginalized by the deep state controlled media for the rest of his life. When his poll numbers rise, watch the deep state amp up their attacks on him.
Check out the clip of him and Sharon Osbourne gloating over the downfall of the White race.
The debate to end all debates. Seeing Joey B. perform should put an end to anyone still sitting on the sidelines thinking he is a viable candidate that deserves their vote. Prepare to see him drugged up to the max: bulging eyeballs, speed talking antics with slurred and indecipherable words, periods when he speaks soft and then builds to a crescendo shouting. Overall, should be a real hoot!
I wonder who the advertisers will be during the two scheduled commercial breaks. Depends? Ensure? One of those life insurance policy spiels?
How about five minute Medicare plan C,D commercials?
The drugs used are uppers, look for the symptoms. Everything exaggerated.
Pupils so dilated his eyes look like 2 piss holes in the snow.
I don’t know, cowbelle81. That’s what I thought at the last debate when old Joe came right out and said he was going to eliminate hundreds of jobs related to the pipeline on day 1 of his presidency (after saying he was going to create 11 million of them), but 81 million lemmings voted for him anyway. It’s what they do.
I’m still wondering if the presidential debate will actually take place Thursday night. Seeing Joe Biden, drugged up to the max, with bulging non-blinking eyes while muttering total gibberish, would be very entertaining. But what if there were riots around the CNN studio in Atlanta on Thursday? Or maybe a bomb threat? If this debate takes place as scheduled, it will be a total embarrassment for the Democrats.
Concur. I suspect that there will be a “national emergency” of some contrived sort that demands the President Brandon’s immediate attention and the debate will be postponed indefinitely.
The “national emergency” excuse, whether real or fake, would be an excellent choice. This presidential debate would only provide undeniable proof that dementia-infested Joe Biden is not qualified to be president. We will know in the next three days if the debate will be postponed indefinitely.
I’m betting that Brandon will cancel at the last minute due to some ostensible excuse that no sane person will believe.
I’m also betting that Trump is betting on that same thing too.
“I wonder who the advertisers will be …” they will be the ones actually callng the shots.
There are a number of ways to interpret the preceding statement.
IMO none of them bode well for the people of the former Republic.
Greetings,
YouTube has relaxed its censorship rage just enough to allow some of the vax injured to tell their stories. The pain, suffering, and humiliation that these people have had to go through is mind-numbing especially since no medical professional dare state the obvious. Oh how they lament their situation and all of them pretty much realize that it is just a matter of time before Suddenly appears and they shake off their mortal coil.
I always chime in to remind this crowd that they threw my business under the bus for a $600 check and a moratorium from paying their bills. I reminded them that the majority of Americans wanted me arrested, put in a camp, denied food, and denied healthcare.
Two years ago these people would have been tripping over one another to hurl threats and insults at me but they do not anymore even when I remind them that whatever the future has in store for us is no longer their concern because they wont be there to see it. Many are beginning to realize just how they were played.
I’m no longer depending on the Supreme Court or any politician for justice for what was done. The people who cheered this great harm are all on death row and they know it.
Another anecdote from a friend, a former ICU nurse, who has developed advanced autoimmune disease, scleraderma systemic that has reached her lungs. The prognosis is not good. She absolutely believes it is Covid, both the vaxx and the virus. Her history was the original shots, mandated by employer, plus getting the disease four times in the year following. She has a history of implants also.
California is noting a slight increase in Covid cases and is sending out alarms to wear masks and get boosted. To think that the Dems are even considering that governor for president, holy shit.
Consider this, Trump may be running against Gavin Newsom, the pretty boy, the second hair looking for a brain.
He has great teeth. He’s tall. He’s handsome. He has great hair.
That’s all he needs to garner the majority of the WAMIN vote.
Plus, all campaign long, he can torture Don Jr. about how Don’s GF is his used-up sloppy seconds Turned out, abandoned and left to rot in the plastic surgeon’s office.
I’ve yet to hear one woman say that he is attractive.
We’ve talked about that here. He has all the right ingredients to be good-looking, but just looks like a dimwitted creep.
Where’d you get the idea women vote based on looks?
In my case, from my mother, who judged men by their appearance all the time.
Newsom looks like a Bmovie Dracula. One ugly SOB.
Beryl, my own person experience in discussing politics with many women. I have personally heard women say they voted this politician or that politician because they are handsome.
Think JFK……..
C’mon, Beryl. You seem to be a very intelligent articulate woman. Do you really believe women aren’t motivated by the physical appearance of a male candidate? If that is the case you are either daft or naive.
I’ve heard women talk about how ugly DJT is or how handsome W was and that they voted for Bill Clinton because he was “handsome.”
MEN were the biggest JFK cultists, as I recall.
Canker I didn’t vote for Trump based on looks.
I have never heard any woman say W was attractive.
We have only had one woman seriously run for president, so there is no sample that tells us what men would do faced with an attractive female versus an unattractive man.
A few personal anecdotes aren’t enough to make generality.
Why does every topic degenerate into women/Jew bashing sooner or later around here?
That is, the ones that don’t start out with a little woman bashing.
This is so darn tiresome.
I need a break.
Beryl takes refuge in the personal: I don’t vote for men because of their good looks.
That may be so, Ber. But we’re not talking about you per se, but women in general. You’re only a member of the set, not the set itself.
Beryl, I don’t tire of it all. In fact, I am quite passionate about it.
Men and women today are screwed up in the head. This is because MEN AND WOMEN have abrogated their biological and sacred responsibilities to the nuclear family.
Boys being raised in homes without a father present don’t do well. They become violent and are more prone to crime. Many women insist they can do it without the men. They can’t.
You will never hear them admit that.
I think it is time for us, men and women, to pull our heads out of our self absorbed asses and start re-thinking how we do things.
Is it wise to have sex and potentially create another human being when we are not in a position to raise that person? Probably not. So, instead of risking it and having sex anyway, why not practice abstinence? We have become creatures of selfish desires and we never consider the consequences of our own actions both on ourselves and upon others, including the children our actions create.
Actually I am biased by a man’s looks, but not in the way the men on this board seem to think… The prettier a man is, the less intelligent I assume that he is. I realize that it’s illogical, except for the fact that attractiveness is an attribute that helps to open doors for individuals so I presume that the more attractive one is, the more entitled the person feels. – That said, I don’t find Newsom or W handsome… they both appear somewhat effeminate in my view. – Al Gore in his heyday – now he was good looking! But I still wouldn’t vote for someone based upon his looks.
River, did you ever get a good look at Al Gore’s teeth? Utterly hideous.
hmuller: No, I never noticed! Ha!! – As it happens, back in the day I did vote for him as I had fallen hook, line, and sinker for: CO2 being number one on the ‘most wanted’ list. – These days my view is that it’s mainly the geoengineering which is poisoning our planet. That said, I have to admit that it’s still disappointing for me to know that Gore supports the WEF… Gore’s the only one out of that group that I feel kind of sorry for…
“MEN were the biggest JFK cultists, as I recall.”
I know you often grasp at straws, but this takes the cake. The “Camelot” lie was packaged and sold directly to fawning women. Dick Nixon was an old fuddy-duddy in a bad suit. JFK and his glamorous young wife, with the perfect family, were the American ideal. Do you think most men of the time, chasing down a shot of Canadian Club with a swig of Hamm’s gave a flying fuck about how John Kennedy looked?
The truth of the matter is that JFK’s “youthful glow” was jaundice, as his liver failed from all of the pills and booze he was swallowing down. He was pounding anything that walked and pimping out young girls who worked for him to fat old men in positions of power. He and his brother were passing bimbos around like a joint. And that barely scratches the surface.
It turns out people, both male and female, vote largely based on the perceived good looks of the candidates:

Gavin Newsom, AKA “Mitt Light”…
He does have a Mitt-like quality to him. Maybe its the hair.
Good observation.
Stalin had great hair. Stalin was also an evil psychopath. History rhymes.
Such a simple maxim: “Good hair = Bad man”.
By that measure, I must have improved substantially over the past 30 years…
Don’t you think covid should be long gone by now?
Nickel, the longer time passes the more and more people are starting to see the disgusting cancer that is plaguing our nation. I haven’t met a soul that actually believes everything is cool and copacetic in our country these days. Most people, however, don’t know what to do about it. And that is our quandary. We all sense it. We all feel it in our guts.
I am getting post card after post card from the plethora of candidates who are running for Mitt Romney’s Senate seat or for a House seat. All of them say they will “stop Washington” or “balance the Federal Budget and stop the spending” or “fix the border.” When I receive these ads I throw them all in the garbage, immediately, because I know that when these assholes get back to Washington they do exactly what they are told by TPTB or they lose their endorsement and all of the perks that Congress critters enjoy.
They have lost the faith and confidence of the governed. Amen to their authority.
“Most people, however, don’t know what to do about it.” ~ Cankerpuss
CP – give us more credit – we do know what to do about it. Then, give us no credit for doing it.
This country is lost, for lack of men doing what they know needs to be done.
God help our children.
And for women who think they can do men’s responsibilities and fail miserably.
IMHO, humans seem to avoid responsibility whenever possible, just look at our Deep State.
Yes, many of our problems accelerated when women left the home, abandoned their role as mothers and became glorified paper pushers for a career.
Women can’t be or do what fathers do. Daughters need fathers. Sons need fathers. Just as much as they need mothers. The deniers of this turn a blind eye to the woes of society.
We need to make them second class citizens again. No voting! No taking a man’s house and kids in divorce.
They are simply not fit to have power as a group.
Jarek, I wouldn’t say they aren’t “fit” to take power as a group. I would say they weren’t “made” to take power as a group. They are too emotionally driven. Too illogical. It is not their biological role.
This country is lost, for lack of men doing what they know needs to be done.
That statement is sad but true. I just cannot understand the total indifference to the corruption, useless wars, family disintegration and the open borders which are destroying the native culture of America. It seems everyone is waiting for the crash, which could occur at any moment.
I think that it’s summed up in Springsteen’s line: ‘I live in the Land of King Dollar – I get paid and my silence passes for honor.’
Almost no one speaks out against corruption – even local graft – anymore because it’s the ‘pillars of the community’ who are complicit in everything. Someone once told me that when they hear that someone wins an award he thinks, ‘hmmmm… I wonder what he did…’ Ha! –
When you continually turn the other cheek you become complicit in their graft – exactly what they want. – I choose my battles but am outspoken when I feel that my silence will mean that others will be similarly victimized down the line (and am somewhat ostracized for doing so). – Still, with so much out of our control, that we don’t have a say in – it’s a struggle not to be defined by the one line I like by the Smashing Pumpkins: ‘Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage.’
True, Ron. True. I know what needs to be done. I’m just afraid of losing everything I have worked for if I do do it.
I hope God helps our children.
My older son, 21 in 6 days, has the heart of a lion and the wisdom of a much older man. He says if we wait until we have nothing left to lose, to fight, it’s already over – we have to fight now, or we will lose everything. He’s right.
Cank, a great many of us know what needs.to be done, and many are willing… the hesitation is because once.we.start, life.as.we’ve known it is over and there’s no going back. That is one of the.things “they” are.counting on. Not one.of us wishes to lose all.we’ve worked.for… but, we are.going.to lose it anyway. Decision time approaches quickly and has nothing to.do.with the.vote. Soon, it shall be “choose today who you will serve”
It’s 11:59 on Radio Free America; this is Uncle Sam, with music, and the truth until dawn. Right now I’ve got a few words for some of our brothers and sisters in the occupied zone: “The chair is against the wall, the chair is against the wall“, “John has a long mustache, John has a long mustache”. It’s twelve o’clock, American, another day closer to victory. And for all of you out there, on, or behind the line, this is your song.
[the Battle Hymn of the Republic begins to play]
The government is broken and it cannot be reformed.
That may be so, but it doesn’t mean that we won’t have the opportunity to shape destiny.
“I haven’t met a soul that actually believes everything is cool and copacetic in our country these days. Most people, however, don’t know what to do about it. And that is our quandary. We all sense it. We all feel it in our guts.” ~ Cankerpuss
On Saturday, Mark Levin talked about “republicans” busying themselves with trying to protect the Constitution and enforcing the rule of law; whereas the “democrats” viewed both as obstacles which they busied themselves with trying to figure out a way of getting around.
Around a month ago, I noticed a change in the republican camp, where previously it was like herding cats, and then overnight, their actions started to evolve like military precision.
Laura Trump was one of his guests, which I had previously known little about, and she discussed the actions they were taking to anticipate and deal with election fraud. The discussion pertaining to this issue was impressive.
Someone in the republican camp has figured out that in order to win an election against unethical democrats, and work within the rule of law and the intent of the Constitution, that the republicans were going to have to unite and get serious about taking our government back from the radical democrat infestation.
As I said, about a month ago, I noticed a light at the end of the tunnel, and I suspect that Laura Trump is in on it up to her elbows.
We shall see TPTB – I agree that the RNC has changed for the better with Lara Trump and Michael Watley at the helm.
There are still a lot of bad Republicans trying to undermine their effort so as to perpetuate the uniparty within DC. Take MN’s Tom Emmer, for example. He is the GOP whip and runs his own national fundraising outfit. He is pouring money into a congressional district race to support his carpetbagging candidate, going up against a guy, my son-in-law, who received 75% of the elected delegate vote.
Why is Emmer doing this? So he can control a puppet if his guy gets elected. He hurts the Republican party by giving the middle finger to the base.
Like you, I don’t want to get my hopes up, but this is the first glimmer of representation in a long time.
Trump is rough around the edges (but I suspect nothing out of the ordinary for NY), but at this point, I can’t imagine anyone better to deal with the swamp.
At this point, if “Trump” were to spell-out the DC grifing in detail, would this be enough to cripple “bad Republicans” and guys like Emmer?
Well, ez, I wish your SIL well and am rooting for him to win.
“The people who cheered this great harm are all on death row and they know it.”
It may be inhuman to say this but, after a lifetime of psychological abuse and more recent gaslighting and overt manipulation, I say Fuck ’em. They get what they deserve. They didn’t think twice about burying me with their deception, thus I have no mercy for them, nor for the Deep State actors heading for execution.
Greetings,
I can forgive the people who were acting in good faith when it comes to Covid. The elderly had a psyop run on them that would make Bernays and Goebbels blush. I saw this with my frightened parents who are not internet savvy, believe what is on television, and have immense respect for doctors. Of course, this attitude resulted in my father losing the ability to speak and my mother’s death but I can forgive them for believing the “authorities” over their tinfoil-wearing conspiracy-minded son.
The ones I have no compassion for are the ones who went along with all of this so that they wouldn’t have to go to work or pay their bills. They went along with all of it, not out of any sense of decency or a belief that they were doing the right thing but from the position of perceived power – they relished in telling others to cover their faces while demanding that anyone not listening to their mandates be denied access to grocery stores. They seal clapped for the closure of schools, parks, and even the beach. They felt so smug watching the late-night talking heads mock us for standing up for our human rights.
Now that they are dropping like flies, I say “fuck ’em” as well but I also go out of my way to make sure that they know that I give zero fucks about the situation they put themselves in. After all, they demonized the doctors who tried to do the right thing and now that cancer and heart disease are coming for them, there is no one left to stand up and help.
I have no sympathy for the Devil.
Nickel, I amend my position based on your response. Sympathies for your parents, and those of others, but not for the devil.
I would also add elsysianfield that I believe it’s going to get much, much darker. I agree with Martin Armstrong. The West needs war because of its extreme debt levels. Provoking a nuclear confrontation will enable it to justify defaulting on its debt and also reduce its respective populations. Thus, despite the apparent insanity of admitting so many illegal immigrants across the border and fast tracking them to citizenship, it will actually provide the military a fresh supply of cannon fodder to achieve the objective of culling the herd. Watch for it. Millions granted quick citizenship suddenly conscripted into a lost cause against a superior enemy. It’ll make D-Day look tame in comparison.
I believe autoimmune disorders are the long term killers.
“I saw this with my frightened parents who are not internet savvy, believe what is on television, and have immense respect for doctors. Of course, this attitude resulted in my father losing the ability to speak and my mother’s death but I can forgive them for believing the “authorities” over their tinfoil-wearing conspiracy-minded son.”
Nickel – this is my exact same story. My mother, had mild dementia, but was immobilized after her shots, and died in December 2022.
I’m losing my father day by day, right before my eyes, to “vaccine” induced and accelerated Alzheimer’s – unknown prior to the shots.
A piss-poor Sicilian immigrant from a broken home, rising on merit to become a highly respected, successful lawyer and live the American Dream.
He worked his ass off, would do anything for his family, did all the right things, was generous and sympathetic to those in need, still believed in this country and believed the “authorities”.
Add other family and friends who’ve succumbed to the “vaccines” – all acting in good faith – I agree and can forgive them.
The others? Hell has a special place for them.
Yes, Ron Anselmo – those “others” like my sister the nurse who specializes in not being able to think critically and urged my now dead mother and brother to take the death shot – I have no doubt they are going to spend eternity chained to the toilet in hell.
Somehow that’s little consolation.
I have not heard from my vaxxed and boosted sister for awhile. Perhaps I should inquire as to her health but I just can’t bring myself to give a damn. People like her do not believe there is any consequence for their actions.
Prayers for your dad. Prayers for you. Nobody said this would be easy.
Thank you, C.O.
Ron and C.O., I’m in the same boat as well. My folks didn’t push hard, but they both expressed concern that I didn’t have my family vaccinated in 2020/2021. My dad died of stroke this past December, and now we are caring for my mom with mild dementia (now officially diagnosed by a series of scans and test by Mayo as Alzheimer’s-caused).
Not sure if it was the vaccines, but my guess is they did not help.
Sorry to hear about your father, Ron. I lost my Father 19 years ago at the young age of 31 due to a botched medical procedure to remove a brain tumor. Oh how I miss that man. I had 31 years with him and I wish I had more. He was not a man who, by the world’s standards of success, was very successful. But he had wisdom. Lots of it. I often wonder what he would be saying about conditions today?
Try to enjoy your father as much as you can while he is still with you. It’s so hard to lose them.
Thanks Cankerpuss.
That is the problem. There will be no, none, zero deep state actors headed for execution. Not even a slap on the wrist. They may get a huge financial bonus for what they have done.
There never is. Americans have a memory retention on par with that of a 5 year old child.
Those who were brainwashed (and it’s been described as military grade entrainment) can be forgiven.
Those who operated with malevolent intent need to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law though, I, too, will be surprised if this actually happens.
MARK MY WORDS…They will drown in their bunkers…
Nickel,
Damn! That is one of the darkest posts I’ve seen on this site.
I agree with Nickel. My smug-ass sister echoed Donald Trump in criticizing the governor of Georgia for lifting the lockdown too early.
She said the lockdown was saving lives and that I was living in an alternate reality for believing the vax was anything but a life saving miracle.
As I mentioned, I haven’t heard from her in awhile…
NickelthroweR, so much in those four paragraphs. From my perspective (and experience) it’s a summary of sorts.
It’s not a good place.
And retribution is coming for Pfizer and Moderna, as the Kansas AG has filed a suit for punitive damages, which the immunity granted the drug pushers does not cover. As I have been saying, the damages against them, and likely many more, including hospitals and medical staffs, would be in the hundreds of billions of $, possibly trillions. Before it gets to that point, look for a law firm tied to the pharmaceutical industry or the government to file for class action status and settle for pennies on the dollar. In typical grifting fashion, they are granted millions in legal fees for saving the perpetrators of the deadly scam most of their billions. This is a time tested method of protecting criminal corporations which most federal judges adopt while disregarding fairness to the injured parties, no matter how numerous. In fact, any funds left from the settlement that are not distributed to injured parties are returned to the defendants.
In a just world, Pfizer, Moderna and any other companies that bellied up to the covid shot bar should be liquidated with all proceeds going to victims of the shots and families of victims. This includes CEOs – all “C-level executives.”
Fauci, Birx and the rest of the bureaucratic pseudo-scientists who pushed this crime against humanity should be stripped of their assets and given life imprisonment with no chance of parole.
Every boss who mandated shots, every broadcaster (Cuomo, Lemon, Kimmel et al.) who ran their well-paid mouths advocating shunning of the unvaxed should have their assets stripped and sold in the same manner as the corporations who employed them.
None of that will ever happen with either of the deep state puppets putting on Thursday night’s show.
C.O., what alternatives would you suggest?
Realistic ones, this whole country, along with just about all the other polities on the planet, is a dumpster fire.
Dumpster fires are dangerous, one never knows what’s burning inside the dumpster.
Reframing the question: How do we get out of this disaster?
@ Not_GeorgeT
Alternatives? If the people behind the Covid scam are not held accountable for their crimes against humanity, I recommend putting our heads between our legs and kissing our asses goodbye.
For more answers to your question, I sincerely recommend going to:

Or we can keep doing what we’ve been doing. It’s worked out pretty well so far, right?
“Considering “Joe Biden’s” cratering poll numbers, it looks like the public is tired of this incessant lying and is fixing to vote his regime out of office.” No, sorry. They will vote out this year’s sock-puppet of criminals & vote in the OTHER sock-puppet. One oligarchy with 2 obedient sock-puppets. (And no one hates the current, post Clinton, DNC more than those of us who were raised in a “New Deal” Democratic household, believing (probably erroneously) that we opposed wars & war spending, censorship and racial division…and were FOR Labor! Have you seen that party recently?)
Yup.
Nope.
The real deal, the Left saw what was coming. The ascent of the minorities, the Darks, the Have-nots and their dominance of the ballot box. If it were not for the damage the Obama Left has done to the Rust Belt, they would be in uni-party control right now. The white working man the heart of the 20th century DNC, has been demeaned and ostracized by the Left. The same thing for women, abortion and #metoo have been the weapons of the Left with women.
Look at the demographics today of the voting booth. MAGA is men, White, conservative women, working whites, the few that are left, and folks that have capital to protect. The Left today are have-nots, grifters, gimmes and Karens.
It is really scary that the split is 50-50.
Civil war can be averted if they let us leave peacefully. They won’t. Same as last time. This time the slaves are White and are seeking their lost rights.
These people aren’t peaceful. They try to talk a nice story, their actions betray their real intent.
In terms of world populations, white people aren’t only slaves, we are a vast MINORITY. I’m sick of being referred to as being part of the majority. Not even close.
Jarek, civil war can be averted – just maybe – if “they” leave peacefully. We built this place, and it is ours. I know there’s some disagreement from some over who built or owns what. Doesn’t matter, they won’t leave, peacefully or otherwise. Get ready to fight.
The left has almost total control of every institution and most lower courts…..The SC is the Hail Mary for the most part and liberals are presently busy delegitimizing the group and water down it’s authority…unless of course they rule in their favor…..
The last piece of the puzzle for total control is free speech and to stop us from any meaningful discord….the real clusterfuk is coming soon…..
But the SC can only make rulings. They enforce nothing. Supremes told Biden he can’t forgive student loans and spend the money to do so. Biden did it anyway.
Such is the way in a lawless Country with an apathetic citizenry.
No he didn’t. The only loan forgiveness is the same as before: fulltime work for 10 years in specific public institutions (eg healthcare provider public hospital or school teacher in public school) or been in the income based repayment program for 25 years.
I have read on X people saying “Thank you Mr President for taking away my collage debt.” Is that some sort of Bot responce? Could very well be. Though X is dedicated to ‘free speech’ it is also available to propaganda.
That’s a fact, mary, but Biden himself has been claiming he did what the Supreme Court told him he couldn’t.
Interesting. This morning the radio show I was listening to reported that the national deficit has ballooned because of Biden’s student loan forgiveness program.
So, somewhere out there something is going on when it comes to student loans.
Student loans turned into a wealth transfer to universities, colleges, and those who, by association, were all feeding at the trough. They were and are a funding source for what many now term ‘woke’.
I had some loans for undergrad, paid them off in less than six years.
I worked a paying job the whole time.
Grad school was pay as I went.
I worked a paying job the whole time.
This doesn’t seem to happen much, if at all, in the current higher education world.
Most people don’t really need the degree. It is degree creep in many occupations, followed by, and further enabling, the wealth transfer.
Bloated salaries of largely unnecessary faculty and staff are enabled bythe loans.
Do they care if the student borrowers can pay back the loans?
I say ‘no’, further, I say it doesn’t enter their thoughts.
Not George T:
I borrowed a total of $15,000 for my bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Paid them off in full a few years after graduating.
I worked full time as I went to college.
I worked three full time jobs during the summers (days, evenings and weekends).
It makes my eyes bleed to hear about these younger people having their loans for their liberal arts and gender studies degrees forgiven and repaid by me, you and everyone else who had to fund their own educations.
Our “representatives” don’t give a damn.
That’s about it. When the court rules against us, we’re expected to obey its edicts, but democrats have no such compunctions. And you’re right, the hoi polloi do not care.
ALL of these problems everyone is writing about will vanish away into nothing after the mass starvation begins in earnest. Only after the USA has suddenly lost at least 1/2 its population to starvation and disease will the other half even consider the possibility of returning to the real world and becoming sane again. A well fed person has many many problems. A starving and dying person or nation for that matter only has one problem and life gets much simpler.
JHK, thanks for the synopsis on the SCOTUS activity.
It is obvious they are the only thing between the Constitution and having it re-written by a Leftist uniparty SCOTUS. Can you even imagine what would be going on if Mc Connell had not blocked Merrick Garland from the Court?
I think the intelligence agencies should be re-named;
CIA. KGB
FBI Gestapo
It is unbelievable what the Left has been able to do in this country, turning it nearly into the equivalent of the USSR.
I will be watching the debate until I get nauseous. Watching the machinations of the CNN moderators should give JHK and us something to talk about on Friday.
JohnAZ, the Constitution of 1789 was overthrown by the Lincoln Administration in his war against the southern states to maintain the tarriff based Federal budget.
Today that document is nothing more that really old, fragile BUTT FODDER.
I will not waste a second of my life on the debate. 4 years ago I tried to watch but I couldn’t take the moderators arguing with the President. The amount of disrespect shown towards that position disgusted and offended me. I will NOT partake of yet another shit show debate.
I hear you, I do not expect to watch the whole thing. I think the tone will be set in 5 minutes or so.
By waiting you’ll get to see the slo-mo highlights of the juice crash and the resulting clean-up in Aisle 2.
Turn the debate into a drinking game. Every time Biden says “Come on man!” take a swig!
“Considering “Joe Biden’s” cratering poll numbers, it looks like the public is tired of this incessant lying and is fixing to vote his regime out of office.”
I disagree, Jim. I don’t know how many times I have seen poll after poll that indicate one thing and the election yields a totally different outcome. The fact of the matter is the Democrats control the vote counters in the critical swing states and in the big blue cities where the majority populations reside. States like Utah and Missouri don’t mean diddly to these people.
Even if SCOTUS comes out with some monumental rulings we know the Biden Administration won’t listen to them. Biden is still paying off student loans for the morons who went to college to get “lesbian dance” degrees. This, by they way, has made a nice increase in the National deficit. But, Biden did it anyway, even after SCOTUS told him he didn’t have the authority.
The government is out of control. The people either don’t care or they don’t know what to do about it.
We are in an awful situation and it isn’t a situation that the government is going to be able to resolve. It’s become too large, to hungry, to insatiable to satisfy and it certainly won’t take any actions to correct itself. What do we do when both the government and the people aren’t willing to correct their mistakes and correct the issue?
I don’t know. That’s the unknown.
Thanks for write up yet again. I love Monday and Friday mornings.
The latest Fox national poll had Biden up with two % points, 50-48%, even with all the negative numbers around it. trump noticed and nailed Fox for the poll, but what if it is real and things are swinging already as the election is being shaped?
I agree with you, think about the statistics always saying +/- 4 points error on the polls. The elections are being decided by less than that, polls are worthless, other than trends.
John,
I remember the 1980 Reagan Landslide, winning all but 49 electoral votes.
The night before the election, the TeeVee said that it was neck to neck….a toss up.
Martin Armstrong says Biden’s number is about 8%.
At this point, Martin Armstrong is looking like a generous person. I wonder what his current take is.
A few days after the Fox poll, Rasmussen had Trump up 9pts. I don’t trust Fox at all.
I think the “polls” are published simply to shape our expectations. Was anyone really polled? How many? Who? How were they chosen? What were they asked? How were the responses scored? We aren’t told any of that. We are just told who is up and who is down.
The “polls” are published to provide direction for the “news stories” that are shoved in our faces by the MSM. It’s all to build and support the Narrative. Polls are worthless, other than to shape our perception.
Canker: I couldn’t agree more with your assessment of amerika’s situation. Voting is a fools game, as the dems will simply steal the next and the next election (communists never leave power voluntarily; they have to be shot, historically speaking). The courts aren’t going to solve anything, as they are corrupt to the core, from counties up to SCOTUS. And, congress, a pathetic bunch of grifters whose only goal is to line their own pockets via insider trading, and ‘gifts’ from lobbyists, are not about to do anything that changes the system that rewards themselves (since when to people act against their own self interests?). So, how do ‘we the people’ stop being slaves and getting financially butt fucked on a regular basis?
? Secession? Cartridge box?
Oh, and that reminds me: The so called ‘sleeping prophet,’ Edgar Cayce, stated that “Russia would be a savior to America.’ Perhaps Rus nukes targeted to the correct cities and elite bunker sites would do the trick. Then we start all over again and try not to worship and elect psychopaths to office next time around.
Extend that a scosh Neurodoc, BRICS++++++ may be the savior for the Red state in the USA.
Think, where does Trump, in his desired state, fit in better, with the WEF or BRICS+++++++?
WEF, like his daughter and most likely his soon to be announced running mate.
Edgar Cayce also claimed that there is a secret chamber under the front paws of the Sphinx. Turns out there is! Although I don’t think it’s been accessed yet. He may have been on to something.
But Russia saving America… (America or the US? Not necessarily the same thing…) Maybe he saw a newspaper article from September 2024 which cried out in bold all caps: “RUSSIA-SUPPORTED WHITE NATIONALISTS ASSASSINATE VICE PRESIDENT HARRIS!!’. Can’t blame Cayce if he fell for it, the press was a respected source of information in his day.
They don’t care AND they don’t know what to do about it. I’m hard pressed to find anything of import that the average American cares about other than: 1) abortion; 2) gay rights; 3) climate change; 4) DIE, and of course how their favorite sports team performed and what’s for supper. That’s the American electorate.
You forgot 5) the TEEVEE and 6) where their next orgasm is going to come from.
Brilliant selection for the opening quote.
Yes, very much to the point. As was the other way a few times ago about how traditional Leftism has some interesting points, but was ultimately wrong. Attn Paula!
correction: one not way
Here it comes …
“… here it comes. Here comes your 19th nervous breakdown …”
First thing that came into my head. Must be my age.
GA
The only choice I can see for the future is to hand it off to the Creator. He has ultimate control even if He chooses not to exert it. Once in a great while, He does. Each of us is a serf in the eyes of the Elite and governments have sculpted us into the lemmings we have become. Even in Revelation, God (Jesus) identifies the “enemy” as the Kings of the earth leading Babylon to destruction. That is a good concise description of government. God will prevail.
JohnAZ, excellent point. I passed your suggestion years ago when I came to a stark realization that I am a slave to a system that I had no say in designing. I was born into slavery and I will die into slavery. Some things just cannot be changed.
I believe we are sent here to see how we will respond to the challenges that are presented to us. At that point all you can do is put your life into God’s hands and just do the best you can with what you have.
All empires fall. All kings die. All tyrants grow old. The same will happen to the USA and the fuckers in power now. All I can control is how I respond to all of it. I can sit and wring my hands until they are red and raw in worry and concern. Or, I can focus on the things that give me joy. My garden. My family. My Camaro. My dog. Simple things.
The reason we are about to go to war with Russia is that TPTB have bankrupted the USA.
@ JohnAZ and Cankerpuss – you are precisely on target. What can we do about it?
Matthew 24:13 states “but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.”
We have front row seats. My prayer is that I be found doing what I’m supposed to be doing when Jesus returns.
Keep praying – we’re almost home. Yes, God wins.
Except for Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo though, right?
To quote Biden in 2020:
“Oh, just shut up, man.”
Why not simply answer my question?
I know why. We all do.
” He has ultimate control even if He chooses not to exert it. Once in a great while, He does”
Judging by the latest information we have about the size of the universe, God might be a very busy man. After all, it is quite likely there are other planets out there with living creatures on them like ourselves that also need attention and a bit of work. Or imagine this, on planet Zeus in another galaxy right now, another version of Jesus is saving another version of humanity. Yeah! Let’s say, what if God is very focused right now on another torture/sacrifice scene that’s being planned on Zeus and God is very busy over there getting everything in place for that.
But what’s this? God is hearing a chorus of prayer petitions coming from planet earth, a place God assumed He’d fixed 2000 years ago. But no! God has to turn His gaze upon earth and discovers that the earthlings have a huge squabble going on and are pointing nuclear tipped missiles at each other, getting ready and doing practice drills for mutual suicide.
Jehovah has always had anger management issues and once He nearly exterminated all the earthlings by drowning. When Jehovah is awakened from His sleep and decides to begin “smiting” – Watch Out! Unfortunately, His wrath is clumsy and crude. Jehovah’s methods are like the WWII Allied bombing raids on Germany. He blew up Sodom and Gomorrah and knocked down the walls of Jericho while disregarding any innocent children, women, slaves, or family pets that got in the way. My guess is that God has an impossibly huge universe to manage and just doesn’t have the time to micromanage all the “smiting” He must do to keep us all in line.
What if this time God thinks to Himself this time, it’s those humans again! Every time I leave them alone for a while something like this happens! Now they’re all mad about something and want to blow themselves up. After all the work I did and pain I went through sacrificing myself to myself just to give ’em some help – then they turn around and do something like this at the worst possible time!
So what if God says this time “well, to hell with the earthlings! They made this mess and they can figure it out on their own. If they are so miserable they desire self immolation to end it all, then hey earthlings! Knock yourselves out! Destroy everything you’ve worked for and turn the clock backwards a 1000 years. I made a mistake creating y’all and I’m tired of your bullshit!
Grow up or go away!”
To answer your opening,
God is the Universe. He is everything.
“So what if”?
Revelation, the final chance. You make the second judgement, everything is copacetic.
“Go away”? Ouch!
One more. You mention the power of God dealing with humans.
God has the power of gigantic stars and black holes times trillions.
WW2 bombing raids? Did you see my post in Friday’s blog about the Shroud of Turin, its image being created like the shadows at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
We fear nukes, rightfully so, He uses them as tools to deal with humans. or floods, or famine, or plagues. In the Bible, God’s Wrath is mentioned many many times.
I think Mannkind deserves much of it.
Methinks our Groundhog doth protest too much. Probably a Damascene conversion on the cards not too far into the future.:)
“‘All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.’
Schopenhauer
God is in full control, period, no lapses. “Truly You are a God Who hides Himself.” So you don’t see it, Groundhog – all you see is your shadow.
Abe wrote: ” So you don’t see it, Groundhog” and “a God Who hides Himself”.
Well, it seems Moses wanted to see God and instead all he got to see was God’s butt. God didn’t let him see any more than that. Maybe God has a weird sense of humor like the King of Comedy guy in here? Yes, Moses got mooned. Look it up. Ok, so you jump on me here and are critical because I “don’t see it”. Well shucks, if all Moses got to see was God’s ass then how far is some ordinary infidel like me gonna get as far as seeing God?
You’re not being fair.
Groundhog, you have successfully created God in your own image and likeness.
Everything we need to know about Him has been revealed in the Holy Scriptures.
Proverbs 3:25, “Do not fear the the sudden terror, or the holocaust of the wicked when it comes”.
Isaiah 46:4, ” Even till your seniority, I remain unchanged; and even to your ripe old age, I shall endure. I created you and I shall bear you; I shall endure and rescue “.
Psalms 92:6-7, ” A good cannot know, nor can a fool understand this: when the wicked bloom like grass, and all the doers of iniquity blossom – it is to destroy them till eternity .”
Ignore the Scriptures at your own risk! 3336 years ago, Moses received the Ten Commandments. The people who claim it as their history are alive and thriving this day.
correction, a boor cannot know, not a good.
God is a large, angry Jewish man who looks like Uncle Abe according to Uncle Abe and John Az.
@ R Montanari
You’ve copy/pasted in some verses from some very popular Old Testament books.
Persons interested in what the Old Testament originally said – can learn much from Rabbi Tovia Singer on you tube. He discusses and teaches history from the orthodox Jewish perspective. He carefully documents and show how early Christians tampered with and altered Hebrew text in the original Hebrew scriptures – altered and changed to make it appear to support and contain prophecies about the coming Jesus. Those early Christians rewrote text to make Jesus appear in the Old Testament when no such thing was implied by those ancient Jewish authors. The new testament takes verses out of context to make the argument that Jesus was being referred to in the Old Testament.
To Rabbi Singer, arguments about Jesus are just as ridiculous as arguments about Batman and Casper the Friendly Ghost. The arguments are about mythical characters who lived mythical lives. Jews who know their ancient scriptures in detail and at face value have no reason to believe the Jesus fables. No doubt there was a real historical character of the time named Jesus who made a name for himself. He ran afoul of Roman authorities during his first visit to Jerusalem and got himself crucified. That’s not the messiah Judaism was expecting then, and they aren’t expecting that now either. The Hebrew scriptures describe a different messiah from the one handed us by the Hellenized Jews, people like Paul. The Jesus figure of popular legend in the New Testament shares much in common with earlier popular Greco-Roman deities. The Jews weren’t receptive to a new hybrid religion combining Judaism with Greek paganism. They simply didn’t believe the stories, didn’t believe the preaching. Didn’t believe in human/God hybrids like Jesus that was both human and divine. Romans were more interested in such stories, after all, they were familiar with similar religious tales about great figures.
The Old Testament contains miracles, most prominently the miracles of Moses. Orthodox Jews believe in these, Hog.
But by all means, feel free to convert. Whether they want you is another story…..
“The Hebrew scriptures describe a different messiah from the one handed us by the Hellenized Jews, people like Paul.”
Tell us about him.
Groundhog, I do not believe God would say “to hell with the earthlings!” I do believe, however, that he would say “I’m trying but they just won’t listen to me. What more can I do other than take away their free agency?”
That’s assuming there is a God out there somewhere in the cosmos that is concerned with the goings on of humanity here on our tiny blue marble.
“After all, it is quite likely there are other planets out there with living creatures on them like ourselves that also need attention and a bit of work.”
I’m not so sure of that. When you consider all of the events that had to happen at just the right time for humans to emerge on this planet, as well as all of the things that have to be present is just the right proportions for live to even be possible, as well as the fact that we don’t even know how life came about in the first place – I think it is quite possible that this planet, and especially us humans, are unique in the Universe.
Blackbird says:
” I think it is quite possible that this planet, and especially us humans, are unique in the Universe.”
If what you just wrote is true, and we unique humans are destroying an utterly unique planet because of our boundless stupidity and primitive tribal behavior, then the sheer enormity of our crimes is mind boggling. Our collective idiocy is more mind boggling than the enormity of the universe itself. It seems that a special place in hell should be reserved for the destroyers of such a unique and special planet as ours.
“God gave Noah the rainbow sign, No more water, the fire next time.” Some of “them” decided to take the sign of the Lord’s promise, and corrupted it to represent the very thing He calls abhorrent and an abomination. And when we think of nukes… yeah, won’t be water but fire this time…
Nice God you have there! What’s his name? Thor? Well we be Thor when God is done with us?
Jagger is Potatoheads age ( only 6 months his junior) and currently on a USA tour. I haven’t read anything about Mick forgetting lines or falling off the stage. Age is just a number. Joe has dementia and his handlers are elder abusers..
I’m 10 years Potatoheads senior and haven’t fallen yet, don’t slur my words and know which way to go on the golf course..
It’s like the movie The Leech Woman, where she has to keep taking the drug to remain young, but every time she uses it, when it wears off and she ages again, she’s older than she was before. That’s what they’re doing to Biden every time they dope him up with something.
Do you think women create life? Without men?
He looks a lot like Macron’s wife. Could he be living a double life?
Maybe they’re brothers?
“Age is just a number.” That’s what old guys say to young girls. In Jagger’s case they’ll overlook his lies due to his fame and his wealth. Other old guys – well doing the same thing over and over again has got to work out sometime – right?

My gas bill is beginning to look like my grocery bill.
My grocery bill is looking like my old costco bill which now looks like my mortgage bill.
This trend started right after Obama was installed but it rocketed up after they put mash potato brains Biden in the Whitehouse.
Benr
Have you seen the lease rates for the latest EVs? It is a large mortgage payment 50 years ago.
Doesn’t matter, JohnAZ. The restaurants are still full. The lines at Walmart are as long as they ever are. People are still going to Hawaii. Lines and Disneyland and Disneyworld are long.
People still have plenty of money to spend.
Clearly issuing $26,000,000,000 in new debt (i.e. “money”) to just give to Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo is inflationary. D’uh.
Israel creating fake dollars to send to Israel.
If Trump wins later this year, if he managed to overcome all the lawfare and cheating that are being thrown at him, that gives us another good 4 years to prepare some more. After that it is game over.
Good and thoughtful observation. Unfortunately, there will be constant destruction and assaults beginning this summer and lasting through the election, if held, by antifa, blm, and the millions of invading illegals. All of this is planned by the Demoncraps, who will disrupt any Trump agenda, even worse than his first Presidency. If we can dodge, or avoid, the destruction and assaults, preparations need to be made because the left will never cease their satanic and corrupt ways. A miracle is needed for the U.S. to survive. They are trying hard to provoke a civil war, so if you are not armed and trained, what are you waiting for?
So true, Benr, but, I work in land development and let me tell you. People are still buying $700,000.00 homes. These people are still able to buy $90,000 pick up trucks and pull a $120,000.00 fifth wheel with a $60,000 toy hauler and two $50,000.00 side by side UTVs. Then they are still going to Hawaii for two week vacations.
Seems to me that people are still doing just fine financially.
@Canker
I have the same observation–but not the same conclusions.
Some of them may actually be doing fine. I’d say most of them APPEAR to be doing fine. However, IMO, most are either:
A. financially ignorant
B. much more comfortable with debt than you or I
C. “Lucky”. They have had steady work their whole lives, and have been able to “live the American dream” on borrowed money without defaulting, so they they don’t worry. Perhaps they’ve never been laid off or fired, or been sidelined by an accident, natural disaster, or health issue. Which takes us back to “A”.
D. A few are none of the above: they inherited some money in the past 20 year. That does happen. I’ve been told by realtors here in metro Detroit that quite a few house are bought cash by retirees for their kids, for example. But that’s not common.
Good points.
Good points Cankerpuss. Stelmo was just mentioning that today, $2 million houses on Nantucket selling in just a few days.
Inflation is great for many in fact it’s the whole idea of wealth creation…I know in my town the busiest restaurants are the high end…..the 400 $$$ steak is alive and well…..
Inflation is good for government as well. As prices go up so does the amount of sales tax collected.
Inflate away the debt while destroying peoples savings.
Inflation is bad and stagflation is worse.
We seem to be on the brink of both.
@sadlycdn
Inflation is NOT great for MOST!!!!
Inflation is good for those “in the know”, or those whose positions or professions allow them to benefit from “writing next week’s headline”.
For the vast majority of people, and even more importantly, for society, inflation is toxic.
Here is what John Maynard Keynes said/wrote about it
(I dislike Keynes, as I believe he conjured a lot of “fake economics” at the behest of his globalist patrons. Much like Fauci conjured “fake science” at the behest of globalists. Still, Keynes was a smart man, and one can learn something from the following quote)
“Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the capitalist system was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some. The sight of this arbitrary rearrangement of riches strikes not only at security but [also] at confidence in the equity of the existing distribution of wealth….
and here is the kicker!!!
“…Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which NOT ONE MAN IN A MILLION is able to diagnose.”
Inflation is caused by fiat currency, too much of it. A sure-fire way to have too much of it is for government to get into debt. And the quickest and biggest way increase spending and debt is military expenditures and war.
The US (and by extension Canada) had the ILLUSION of having tamed inflation during my adult life because wages of US workers stayed relatively static; also, the US had tens of millions of illegals willing to work long and hard for less, and from the 90s until Trump Administration, as China and Asia and Mexico came on-line, even more than Japan and Korea before it, the price of manufactured goods in dollar terms stayed constant or even dropped.
These “gimmes” are gone.
(We also had the fracking “miracle”. I’m inclined to agree with Kunstler that, it will end rather quickly and abruptly (but it has put a ceiling on price rises in the always volatile oil and gas sector). Others seem to think fracking will continue to produce oil/gas for decades).
But inflation never went away. The cost of housing long-term has risen sharply; the cost of health care and elder car has consistently risen sharply; the cost of utilities, consistently risen.
The underlying pressure of increasing prices has pretty much always been there; the idiotic COVID lockdowns of 2020 (who was President then?) took off the lid.
The idiotic sanctions on Russia have scrambled global markets and interfered with their efficient operating patterns (Russian energy to Europe is not being directed to China, India and others), which leads to REAL price increases, even in a world without fiat currency.
Stealing Russian financial assets also disincentivizes foreigners from buying US assets in general, and US government debt in particular. China’s holding of treasury debt have gone from $1.3 trillion to $775 billion and dropping.
In April, not widely reported, the US Treasury announced it would begin to repurchase its own outstanding debt.
I don’t much about the mechanics of the US debt, but I ask, WITH WHAT?
Computer entries?
If one is sharp and savvy, perhaps one can “keep up, or slightly beat inflation”, but unless one is a central banker or super-wealthy and savvy or in “the know”, one is going to lose.
What’s bad is the America’s underlying financial and debt condtion today is worse than 1979, and the world’s geopolitical situation is more dangerous (and in 1979, things didn’t look all that great…)
I just said its good for many….not all…..real estate is one area …commodities are another….its created wealth out of thin air…..
There was talk of printing up 1 trillion-dollar coins.
When they do it lets hope they put Obamas face on it.
The 1%? 1%. Equals 3.3 million, a lot of fiat money. I go to visit California, it never ceases to amaze me, the homes and the boats.
Where the heck is TS 1986?
“Where the heck is TS 1986?”
Hopefully too busy caring for his chickens to worry about things he can’t control.
By the way, welcome back JAZ. Good to see you here in the sandbox where you belong.
I might often disagree with you, but by golly, I’ll defend – to the point of minor inconvenience – your right to state your opinions.
I’m retired and spend a lot of time traveling the Western/Midwestern US, mostly on backroads between North Dakota and Arizona and all the states in between. Over the last 10 years I’ve been aware of a trend of an increasing and apparently unlimited number of people on “vacation,” traveling in RV’s or SUV’s hauling Jeeps, ATV’s, dirt bikes, Harley’s. etc, in other words, lots of expensive toys.
I’ve never seen as many as this year. The National Parks I go by (Rocky Mountain, Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, Glacier, Yellowstone) are increasingly overflowing with visitors. Most of them have remodeled their entrances at least once in the past 10 years to accommodate new arrivals, and the new entrances are backed up. They’ve all introduced systems of reservations to gain entrance because of the hordes. Tourist towns like Moab and Breckenridge are overrun and parking is difficult.
Hotel rooms are blindingly expensive at these places, and are always full in the summer season. I say to myself,” WTF? I thought everyone was broke! Who are these people with the time and money to take these vacations and buy all these expensive toys?”
These aren’t all senior citizens traveling in their retirement. These are families, young couples, middle-age couples, etc.) They don’t appear to be trust-funders. Except for the expensive toys, they appear to be middle class (i.e., no Rolex watches or ostentatious bling; toys are hauled by Chevy’s and Fords and Toyotas, not Bentley’s or Cadillac Escalades.
I understand you can do a lot with credit, but you would think this population would be declining, esp over the past couple years. But they appear to be multiplying like bacteria.
As the government does not care about debt, so goes the people.
And the reckoning for living a debt burdened lifestyle…….NEVER COMES. I don’t get it. When God was handing out intelligence on money I must have been gone fishing because I see younger people living far better than I have ever lived. Of course I have chosen to live debt free but still, they still have to make monthly payments and they all can’t be making six figure salaries. The median income levels in my state say that half of them make far less than I do.
It’s a wonder, to be certain. But until people start losing their big Dodge diesel hemis or their fifth wheels or the Ford Raptors, well, I am just not going to be that concerned about inflation. People still have plenty of money.
The day of reckoning is coming.
Simple answer.
The boomers are retiring and spending their kid’s inheritance.
That uptick will last at most another decade and then all of them expensive toys will be a glut on the system in fact RV’s and tow trailers are sitting since the end of Covid.
I kind of agree with Soc-Detroit, in that they appear to be doing just fine financially, but that $120,000 camper and $60,000 toy hauler with the $90,000 pickup truck aren’t paid for, and neither is the house. And as long as they’re not paid for, they don’t own them.
Agreed, but, they can still make those monthly payments.
Let’s assume they are paying $2500 for their mortgage.
A $90K pick up truck is what $850?
A $120K fifth wheel is what $1,000?
Two UTVs at $50K a piece is another $1,000.
That’s $5350 per month in debt service alone and doesn’t include gasoline to operate, taxes, fees. Add to this that they are always going on trips to use these things and still taking trips to Hawaii and Disneyland.
I do very well financially and I have no debt. I don’t dare live like this. No way.
“And as long as they’re not paid for, they don’t own them.”
They never own them. Property taxes unpaid (real estate, excise, etc.) result in tax liens folowed by forfeiture to the ‘government’.
When does ‘government’ become too big? Almost immediately after it is created by ‘the people’. Because a % of ‘the people’ immediately see an opportunity for wealth transfer.
What’s the most expensive thing on four wheels?
A Costco shopping cart.
Evidently no Biden supporters have that problem.
Leftist “squad members” are now having epic public temper tantrums, screaming, cursing, jumping around on stage, literally knocking microphones over and picking up and brandishing pieces of furniture. Meanwhile, more sober-minded Democrats are beginning to speak out against this nonsense and walk away from left-wing extremism. To me, this is a nation that is imploding in slow motion. I fully expect a violent attack on a Trump rally, or someone gunning down Antifa members soon. The US is an absolute powder keg right now, and people are throwing matches. The leftists are absolutely 100 percent unwilling to cede power and go off into the dustbin of history, and yes, some of them probably genuinely are scared of being criminally prosecuted and jailed under a Trump administration. Every day I wake up and wonder, is this the day the stuff will hit the fan in this woke, broke, joke of a country?
This should be trademarked for a t-shirt slogan:
–> “USA 2020-2024: Woke, broke, joke of a country”
Cowbell, trademarked? Maybe you’ll see it offered from Temu on your phone in ten minutes. China don’t need no stinking trademark.
I like: Biden: Pay more, live worse, with the Walmart logo.
Yes, in NYC, AOC & another squad member breaking into vulgar rants on stage with Cardi B playing in the background. Bernie Sanders was up there with them; I wonder how he felt when the distinguished Dem candidates began slandering Israel and denigrating ‘Jews’ — much to the delight of the sparse audience — in his presence?
Bernie richly deserves it, not for being Jewish, but for being a hypocritical poseur and enabler of Islamic jihad.
He’s trying to uphold the much vaunted lineage of Jewish humanism rather than the hatred of normal people as per the quote in the header.
Good on him for actually believing it and fighting for it. He betrayed his youthful followers who loved him so much. Now he had a chance to make amends. But yes, he needs to disassociate from the rabid dogs.
@Jarek
Am I seeing things? I looked here about 15-20 minutes ago and you had one of the first comments. And I liked it! (though I don’t recall it exactly and can’t paraphrase it).
Did you pull it? Or was it pulled?
The gist of it was that both candidates are disappointing–but Jarek said it better.
Trump is old, he talks out of both sides of his mouth, he’s immature. Unlike 2016 (at least publicly), now if you give him enough campaign cash, chances are he will promise you what you want.
The good: he has a record in office. A mixed record, but in several ways, the best President of my adult life.
The bad: Many of the execrable forces of darkness are dangling cash in front of the Donald, as they see Biden is really reviled and might lose, even with the built-in de facto and de jure (that’s “legal”) fraud. Trump likes money, and he likes being liked (by rich, important people, and people around him).
While I won’t vote for Trump, I hope he, ANYONE, beats Biden. They can’t do any worse.
Both major candidate contenders (RFK Jr is major) are very flawed, and Jill Stein (Green Party) and the Libertarian Party have some serious flaws. Still, I’d pick any of them over Biden. Today, I’d hold my nose and pick Stein.
That said, for people who clearly are going to vote for a Republicrat, I will do all that I can to get them to vote for Trump.
But I’m disappointed Jarek’s comment is gone. It was completely inoffensive, and much milder than many comments on CFN.
And it was good!
I wonder, can we pull our own comments? Or did moderator censor?
It would appear that Jarek hit a trip wire. Hopefully he will be out of the “hospital” soon.
“Trump likes money, and he likes being liked (by rich, important people, and people around him).” ~ Socrates-Detroit
Don’t you think that with his new found wealth, that he has enough money, and that by representing the citizens of America, that ultimately satisfies the other need you list?.
@TPTB-USA
No, I do not.
In 2016, I thought that because Trump had a lot of money (though by no means was he among the richest of the rich),
and because in the prostitution/government for sale industry (that describes the majority of elected officials in the US, at all levels), Trump was the “john” who paid, and not the whore who performed for payment (including the Clintons and Schumers, who were Trump’s friends once), I figured he was a lot less likely to be beholden to special interests.
On that, events proved me wrong.
Trump did the bidding of the wealthy with his tax cut, which overwhelmingly benefitted the wealthy, and Trump spun it as a “tax cut for everyone”. Which it was–he cut my Fed taxes by 3%. But 3% for me is not remotely like 5% for someone with tens of millions of income.
So the very wealthy made out, and our already excessive deficit and debt jumped even more.
In return for Israeli Lobby and Adelson financial support (the Adelsons contributed $400 MILLION to Trump and the GOP), Trump gave Israel a blank check (increasing the pressure cooker) and moved the US embassy to Jerusalem. And Trump gave Miriam Adelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom too!
I read somewhere that Miriam Adelson is now dangling $100 million for Trump, on the condition that he be willing to recognize Israel’s annexation of the West Bank. That sounded too much, even for some one who sees Israel for what it is, so I googled it, and sure enough, June 03, 2024, that story was carried by Haaretz (a major Israeli paper).
I read or hear that in closed donor meetings, Trump is very amenable to the donors.
And that is why he said that “any illegals who get a degree” (without even specifying the degree–how about Gender Studies?) “should be allowed to stay”. His campaign had to walk that back.
Trump is getting traction with big donors because Biden looks so bad, and because there is a foul mood among much of the electorate, so they figure, “let’s get on the Trump bandwagon, just in case, and let’s give him some money to secure our interests”.
Elections are very expensive. Madison Avenue and TV and internet ads require lots of money….
“The citizens of America”. Trump did renegotiate NAFTA, he did put some tariffs on Chinese goods, and while he did not succeed, he made a real effort to stop illegals. He did not start any new wars (overtly). All of that alone makes him a RELATIVELY very good President.
Trump was wrongly targeted–by the “deep state”, the top-level career bureaucrats and special interests. And some say, with some justification, the COVID pandemic was conjured to prevent what appeared in March 2020 to be Trump’s reelection.
Trumps response to these attacks? He ratcheted up tensions with Russia, and he allowed the COVID lockdowns to happen, and then sent people checks for $1,000.
He’s a good salesman (a slick used car dealer!) with good people skills that unfortunately is very juvenile and shoots himself in the foot.
I think he will say “whatever it takes”. He talks out of both sides of his mouth, in his quest to cover the bases. Even though he is another enabler of Israel’s quest to take over all of Palestine, he has actually said “this thing in Gaza looks very bad for Israel”. Yeah dude, it does! And it looks just as bad, maybe even worse, for the USA!!
It’s hard for me to take him seriously, and I don’t trust him.
Still a bull$hitter who who occasionally has said or done the right thing is preferable to the braindead piece of $hit currently in the white house. So, for anyone who is feels compelled to vote for a potential “winner”, I’d urge Trump over Biden.
For those who don’t want to live to regret their vote, I urge Stein (Green Party). Even with her serious flaws, I’ll take her over the three Likud candidates masquerading as Americans.
But if one feels compelled to vote for a Likud member in November, and does not want to regret it later, one should give serious consideration to RFK Jr. He is more intelligent than Trump, and he’s made a career of challenging big pharma, so he’s less likely to go along with whatever “variant” the blob has in store for us.
In the end, I don’t think it will make much difference. The USS Titanic has been taking on water for decades, even though amenities in first class are better than ever.
It’s taking on water faster than at any time in my adult life–the only comparable time would have been the 1960s, when I was born, when, after JFK was killed, Vietnam and the racial wars hit the USS Titanic like two big icebergs, and shattered that great cruise (for MOST, not all) Americans had been on since 1946 or so.
Pardon the long reply….
“He’s a good salesman (a slick used car dealer!”
Used car salesman,” There’s an asshole for every seat.”

It is not helpful (efficient) when an administration gets to impose their “grand experiment” for 4 years, and the next administration torpedoes the prior administrations “grand experiment” and imposes their own.
Monkey business by government creates many consequences; some known, some unknown; some good, some bad. The best we can do is to try and figure out the desired objective of the action, and then assess the net benefit.

Is Trump our Savior or our Destroyer?
armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/taxes/is-trump-our-savior-or-our-destroyer/
“While people keep criticizing Trump’s tax plan saying the wealthy will get more back by lowering the top bracket from 39.6% to 33%, all they focus on is class warfare. Trump’s tax plan collapses the seven federal income tax brackets into three, reducing the top marginal rate from 39.6% to 33%, and lowers the corporate tax rate from 35% to 15%, among other things. The criticism is always just the socialist view and never address the vast waste and corruption in government. They say the national debt will explode by $5 trillion if Trump cuts taxes as if $1 trillion deficits under Obama was somehow OK. They also ignore the fact that lowering the corporate rate to 15% matches the best rates overseas and will then encourage them to bring their money home and with that JOBS! There is nearly $3 trillion offshore that will not return because the socialists demand high taxes. So it will not return. Saying the deficit will rise by cutting the tax rate assumes nobody will return home.”

Trump Tax Plan to Allow Small Business to Expand

“Why do big companies buy small start-ups? Because the bigger the company becomes, the less innovation they possess. They have to go out and buy start-up to expand. All expansion of technology comes from the bottom moving up. It does not come in the other direction.
The big companies will bring back their cash and some will take-over small companies. Others will use the cash to buy back their stock.”

Capital Gains Taxes Loom Over Blue States – Welcome to the Great Reset
armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/taxes/capital-gains-taxes-loom-over-blue-states/
“This idea of hunting down the rich is utter nonsense as it becomes an excuse to eliminate the middle class. The big money can take the risk, but the average investor cannot. This will deter small business investment and entrepreneurs who greatly contribute to innovation as they bring creativity and imagination to business.”
I don’t see where voting for Stein (Green Party) or RFK Jr. will change anything.
My 2 cents is that the corruption needs to be exposed, people held accountable, and a national discussion needs to begin to entertain the options for a future format for life.
The internet offers a platform for this discussion, and if it does not get organized and happen, then I suspect that the path of least resistance will entail much of the 2030 Agenda. Who is holding back this discussion?
Do you see any viable solutions, or how do you see it playing-out?
Do you think your vote for Stein will make any difference, or will it be just a moral exercise?
@TPTB
I appreciate your reply.
Regarding “Is Trump our savior..” from Armstrong Economics, I consider that whole paragraph a “half-argument” augmented by emotional appeals. Class warfare? Please! The very wealthy already get huge tax breaks on NON-WAGE income.
Is it right that Warren Buffet or GM’s CEO both pay a lower percent in income tax on their TOTAL income than someone making $100k in wages?
The line about “government waste” has grown old and stale over the past 40 years. Of course there is waste! But it is a small portion. The fraud is very small, and other “waste”, such as EV and Green subsidies are legislated. The mortgage deduction? Bi-partisan legislation. That’s waste, in my opinion. The fact is, the vast majority non-“defense” is ENTITLEMENTS, supported by both parties.
The biggest source of waste is…the Pentagon. They can’t even audit themselves! The proposed defense budget (which does not include nuclear weapons maintenance, or the CIA/NSA) is $890 billion. How much of that is wages for troops, bureaucrats? How inflated are prices for hardware to pay for lobbyists, to have subassemblies built in 50 or 100 congressional districts, and pay for the fat profits and fat compensation of contractors? How many cents of each dollar goes for bullets, bombs, tanks, ships that work? How much of each RUSSIAN ruble goes for weapons? I bet the Russians do a lot better.
The government provides all kinds of subsidies or preferred tax treatment to various industries—oil and gas come to mind, real estate, the financial industry, insurance industry.
Perhaps the “free enterprisers” can get rid of all that crap first and THEN cut tax rates.
Cutting taxes without cutting spending is a recipe for debt, which means interest, which means lower living standards at best, and a date with economic calamity at worse.
Of course EVERYONE wants to cut taxes. But no one wants to touch spending in a serious way.
Anyone who actually proposes serious spending cuts probably cannot get elected, unfortunately. The easiest cuts are in “defense”–shrink the DoD and put the Army on the southern border. I just “saved $300 billion and stopped a big problem.
@TPTB
As for Stein, I will probably vote for her. I cannot, in good conscience, vote for any candidate who condones (de facto) and actively assists the slaughter taking place in Gaza because, at best, they are afraid of the Israeli Lobby, or at worse, because they agree with eliminating the Palestinians.
I think she’s shown a lot of courage to take a stand on this issue. She’s on the record as saying Biden should do what Reagan did: call the Israeli PM and tell him to stop it.
I also like that she calls out the US government for instigating the conflict in THE Ukraine, starting in the mid-90s by expanding NATO eastward, and she cites JFK’s stance in the Cuban Missile Crisis.
So, on foreign and military policy, Jill Stein is “the man”!
Could she get her agenda? I don’t know, but if the President doesn’t want to get involved, it’s very hard for the US to get involved….
The fact that the US incinerated German, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese civilians, My Lai, Fallujah, and so forth, to me, doesn’t mean that I can just say, “well, since the US did that, it’s OK for the US to fund Israel to do the same and worse”.
(Full disclosure: I was an Imperial Trooper from the mid 80s to early 90s).
Is that a “moral exercise”? If so, yes.
The more people who vote for a NON-REPUBLICRAT for President, the stronger the message to the ruling class that they don’t enjoy much of a mandate from society. In that sense, even RFK Jr (AIPAC’s 3rd candidate) is a good vote.
The PTB may get more repressive, hit America with some bird flu or another plandemic, or they might ease of some of their bad policies (so they can keep some bad policies going).
I don’t think I wrote it, but it sounds good. Impersonation sometimes happens here. I’m also considering Jill Stein but of course she’s insane on borders, guns, etc.
Anglin advises us not to vote or “consent”, it being a pact with the Devil in this case; a negative occult act.
@ Jarek “I don’t think I wrote it, but it sounds good. Impersonation sometimes happens here.”
When you apply for a name and password to be able to post in here – the registration software will prevent you from registering with a name that’s already in use or been used before.
Now I’m thinking about some fun to be had possibly at your expense and as an experiment. Someone register with “jarek” as a handle and post some really off the wall outrageous stuff to see what the reaction will be. Nah, I ain’t doin’ it myself. Maybe in my old days as an internet troll I might have…….
“These are the good old days…”
I have to agree with Anglin on this – although I’m sure he made his point in the most offensive, immature way possible.
Voting is a scam – except maybe for super low-level positions like dog-catcher or school board, in out-of-the-way nowhere places like rural northern lower Michigan. We will get the President that has been chosen for us.
I probably won’t vote at all. I kinda resent not having to show ID to vote, but I have to show ID if I buy alcohol. A good reason to quit both.

Tone policing is atrocious. It’s one way women all unite and keep us down. And even before they could vote, it was a thing among “Christian” White men. In the Old West, if a fast draw sheriff and a hanging judge managed to restore order to a town, typically the people would reward them by voting them out. The realities of life are just too much for most – thus tone policing. How are we ever going to get White Shariah at this rate?
OK Jarek and everyone, I am compelled to admit I am at a loss to explain what happened. I pulled the essay up very soon after it appeared, there were four or five comments, I read them, and then got up… It was NOT the Pope Pius comment, it was a good 4-liner or so, and I thought it was Jarek’s.
I’m glad you did NOT put a comment, and thus, it was NOT removed by the moderator.
Yes, Stein is wrong on borders and guns.
If she actually won, the only things she’d probably get done with the Dems are disarming Americans and opening the borders, lol.
But she won’t win.
So you can vote for her knowing that tomorrow, when things get worse via war (maybe WW3, maybe a US carrier being sunk, maybe an EMP or satellite blackout) and economic calamity (like Argentina), you did not vote for a President who actually helped bring them about.
As others have noted here, unfortunately, things will have to get much worse before enough of the American public wakes up and says enough. Even though the “awake” here disagree WHY things are as they are, the awake generally agree things are not going in the right direction.
If America had many more awake people (as I think it needs), JHK would either be part of the MSM and a household name, OR his CFN would not be needed as alternative news, as many of the views expressed in his essays would be considered common knowledge.
I really think the SC is acually playing a game (conservative appointees)….to just survive and ruffle as few democrat feathers as possible….making too many rulings against the blob will have protesters on their front lawn with law enforcement bringing them treats…..I really think for the most part they neutered themselves and know all about the whirlwind Chuck has waiting for them……it’s not like they haven’t been threatened……..
I have learned from Hans Mahncke that the German CDC knew that the US FDA was trying to keep the vaxx from being approved until after the 2020 election:
“How did the German CDC know in Sep 2020 that the United States FDA was trying to delay approval of the Covid “vaccine” until after the 2020 presidential election? And why did the Germans keep quiet about what they knew?
The extent of the conspiracy against Trump is astonishing.”
x.com/HansMahncke/status/1804703510837002416
As Mike Cernovich points out, if they actually thought the vaxx “worked”, they’d have been withholding something that could save people’s lives, just so Trump would not get the credit.
“If they believed the vaccine saved lives, this would be a scandal. How many deaths by delaying the vaccine?
As with climate change, they don’t really believe what they say.”
x.com/Cernovich/status/1804720379984032136
I’m thinking of that old expression, hanging’s too good for them.
The more that comes out the less comes of it……the covid boat has sailed it seems for accountability……there was a little admission that it may have harmed a few folks , but hey we were trying to save your life……the courts are vaxx friendly and creeps like Fauci will lie and stay hero’s in our Google and Wikipedia world….
Not in California!
So there’s hope?……
When I taught high school my students were not allowed to quote Wikipedia as a source in their papers. In fact, I used it to illustration dis- and mis-information.
If they believed the vax was going to save lives, they should be kicked out of office for stupidity, as well as malice.
I’m not expecting a rerun of the Lincoln-Douglas debate; I suspect this will be like two banal press conferences, with smarmy questions from the CNN panel designed to elevate Biden & denigrate Trump. Blitzer to Trump: “How does it feel to be convicted of 37 felonies?” Blitzer to Biden: “What would you say your greatest achievement was as POTUS, standing up to Russia or building the pier in Gaza?” At any rate Biden will be wired, eyes glowing like coals, dosed by Dr. Feelgood with the meth/steroid elixer they use for Biden’s public appearance, which gives him the simulation of being Lucid breathing, and still alive.
Well said, Marlin.
I think the point is to see who is worst with CNN buffering Biden.
Just the fact Joe is still President shows they control the ballot box…..Joe will be the debate winner regardless as mass psychosis 2.0 is upon us……no joke…..
Having Jake the Snake Tapper as moderator?…..seriously what is Team Trump thinking……the dems needed this debate more than Don’….why agree to a slug like him……
Jake Tapper belongs in a bug zapper!!!
I’ve read that Biden suffers from Afib. He also is purported to wear a CPAP device which helps keep the Afib down. I would imagine if he’s pumped up with stimulants his heart would be bouncing around in his chest like a ping-pong ball. A most uncomfortable feeling.
Maybe at this Thursday’s debate he’ll suffer one of those “sudden and unexpected” events we have heard so much about all year? If this happened in real time while the cameras were rolling, would they cut to a commercial or keep it live for the latest commentary? Maybe the Biden handlers have a “kill switch” installed on him to use for this very purpose?
Maybe they would wheel him offstage on a gurney, cut to a commercial, and when they came back there’s be someone else in his place, and they’d all pretend it was Biden.
Trump would object, and the next day headlines would say crazy Trump claimed it wasn’t really Biden at the debate.
Then the FBI would kick down the door of any citizen who also expressed doubts. “You’re under arrest, buddy, for doubting democracy!”
And the crazies in the media would all simultaneously report that this new dude is, in fact, Biden and if we don’t accept this new dude as Biden that we are all in fact anti-American and anti-democracy.
Question is, would it really matter who shows up at the debate?
Maybe Fake Biden will be at the “debate” from the beginning. Start studying his ears and nose now so you can compare on Thursday.
All Dead Epstein had in common with Live Epstein was a haircut and orange jumpsuit.
Remember the 9/11 memorial service Hillary? She lost a lot of weight in just the couple hours it took to recover from “pneumonia”, new ears too.
Same management in all three cases.
I’ve experienced AFib a while after a valve replacement. My heart was beating like running a 400 meter sprint. The electrophysiologist said it was due to a broken electrical circuit in the heart, similar to a dog chasing it’s tail. Had to have an ablation (similar to a spot welding) which fixed it intermediately. Lucky to have access to Dartmouth Medical Center in my area.
There are other kinds of AFib which are not so easy to fix.
CPAP is for obstructive sleep apnea.
When sleeping you snore really bad AND quit breathing for periods of time.
Obstructive sleep apnea is a strong driver of Afib.
Gotcha.
It does not help with afib during an episode is what I was getting at.
Jim, you are being parochial. It’s a big country Jim. What heat-wave? Here where I live (and several millions others), we’ve been cool, rainy, and all that Pacific Northwest stuff. We would trade you a few degrees of your heat, and in return, give you a few degrees of our cold. It’s a big country Jim.
I heard that it wasn’t hot and humid on the top of Mt. McKinley either. JHK, that damn liar.
RD3, you artfully exposed the latent or blatant (not sure which) hostility of Breck’s post.
Wasn’t it 120 degrees in Portland,OR a couple years back? That was the first time I heard the “Heat Dome” terror phrase.
Saint,
Enough of the smug comments…we’re dying out here. The last two weeks, temps have been hovering around 78 degrees, and no end in sight.
Of course, I am 300 miles south of that shit hole that is known as Portland, Oregon.
Good spinach weather, Popeye.
Hey elysianfield, were you in on that bottle toss in Portland back in 2020?
50 days of protest in Portland. A violent police response. This is how we got here.
opb.org/news/article/police-violence-portland-protest-federal-officers/
“A night of protests against police brutality in Portland, Ore., ended with police using tear gas, flash bangs and rubber bullets to disperse the crowd June 5, 2020, after protesters threw water, fruit and bottles at police and then knocked down the fence separating them.”
**
“… after protesters threw water, fruit and bottles at police …”
Are journalists idiots? How come they don’t come right out and say it? … they threw bottles of frozen water …
If it were the other way around, how would the protesters feel about the police?
Too bad they weren’t dealing with Trumps Feds, then they could be sharing bunks with the J-6th crowd.
Thanks for your service, and putting up with all the BS!
TP,
In the bad old days, the weapon of choice was 1/2 of a red common brick.
Dodged more than a few.
Why would a politician subject his law enforcement to the onslaught.
If I was Ted Wheeler, I would have told Kate Brown to get lost, and let her goons burn the place to the ground (I know, it is probably a toss which one is more pro 2030 Agenda).
Recently there was a video of perhaps a capital police officer having to endure the toss. What are the consequences, and who takes the hit if an officer gets (seriously) injured? Why would the general population put up with this?
101 here in Utah today. But its a dry heat.
117. Dozens died. Was it a weather weapon?
” Was it a weather weapon?”
nah, just a warm spell.
What is your score again?
Elmo refuses to share his GLT score with CFN but I suspect that it is 0.
OG,
You should end your GLiT shaming. A small GLiT is just an accident of birth. Jesus don’t make no junk, and yet people with small GLiTs are mocked, made light of, and are the butt of cruel jokes. I suggest that people with small GLiTs attend support groups, such as GLiTAnonymous.
“Hello…My name is elysianfield, and I have a small GLiT…(‘hello E…’) I used to read alot, and after much reading, research, and study, I was informed that my GLiT was alarmingly small. I tried various methods of enlarging it, but with each book read, each bit of research conducted, each mental exercise in an attempt to stretch my understanding of humanity and the world around me, I found my GLiT getting smaller…alarmingly so…(the group mutters in sympathy) ”
A sad tale, no doubt, but I have come to accept the size of my GLiT…almost proud of it’s small size. I hear with age and wisdom that it might continue to shrink, and I find some solace in that.
Our heat wave isn’t over. Tomorrow will be the worst.
We can’t trade the weather with each other. Best we can do is have the desert west steal water for its teeming masses.
Steal water? I will bet Iowa and Florida would love to give it away.
My totes are full. We’ve been getting hot temps but also thunderstorms.The garden plants love this shit. Noticeable growth daily. Problem is the invasive plants and vines are out of control and a constant battle.
Yeah, same here in my backyard.
I read – in the MSM at work – that it was a once-in-500-year rainfall in Florida. Really? January 2, 1999 was 500 years ago? I have aged so gracefully…
All that night it sounded like a dump truck was dumping water on my roof. I had a 2 liter Coke bottle in my recycling bin out back. It was about 2/3 full of water. I did the math. Over two feet of rain in less than 24 hours. Rain gauges throughout the Everglades measured similarly.
But yeah, it’s always the hottest, coldest, most rain, most severe drought, most destructive hurricane, biggest shark, angriest bison, loudest hummingbird, whatever, ever… Climate Change!!!
Indeed they have to keep people in a state of crisis all the time.
Especially if they are DEMOCRATS.
Looking at the weather forecast for the next 10 days in Boston metro, I don’t see any temperature in the nineties.
Lucky you. Tomorrow will be 99 here.
Ouch!
In a big country dreams stay with you…
Thank you Jim for th update on the SCOUS shedule. It will be interesting.
Yes, that was an excellent and helpful summary I would have never had, even if searching high and low. Also, Lyndy, glad to hear that you’re doing well, unlike our evil imposter President.
“The political weather is breaking. The week ahead looks like an all-you-can-eat, steam-table banquet of consequence.”
Empires exist and sustain themselves by avoiding consequence. Empires have found all kinds of ways including dark magic to make sure that consequence does not pay them a visit at the front door like the Grim Reaper.
Empires ‘invent’ reality. Well, it’s not reality of course. But it is some kind of sustainable horse manure narratives and mind-warping to get enough people disempowered and going along with the their bull leavings.
Case in point – The famous quote attributed to that fount of wisdom Karl Rove which he purportedly made to describe The Indispensable Nation:
“We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality… We’re history’s actors…”
Makes one wonder if we might have individuals living under serious delusions in high places of public influence.
“… just why is the US government so deeply invested in all that lying?”
See answer above.
“And Thursday, of course, comes the debate to end all debates. Makes you cringe a little just to imagine it.”
The real debate will happen on Friday when millions of people will ponder why they wasted a couple hours of their lives on a useless waste of conjured political drama between two men who should be doing shuffleboard on some cruise in the Caribbean. Hopefully together.
Nothing will get decided. Nothing they say will matter. No one’s minds will be changed. Some people will get a bit further steamed up for no good reason. And State media will make a few more dying fiat dollars.
But all this will give the Dark State actors pushing these two characters around a good and hearty laugh at how the American people actually think this stuff means anything. The Dark Ones will be safe and secure no matter what happens on Thursday… or in November.
Because when you’re an Empire… you create realities – false realities, that is. You have to in order to stay an Empire.
And we have to believe that it’s real.
At least Karl Rove knew they were lying. The ones required to believe were the plebes, but our owners knew what was going on.
I get the distinct impression that the current crop of overlords actually believe the bullshit they spew, and that is scarier.
Yesterday they exploded a cluster bomb on a crowded beach in Russia, injuring and killing 124 people.
They tell us that these kind of terror attacks are a Good Thing, because they Bring the War Home to Russians, and the Russians will then get angry, and overthrow Putin, and the US can install another Yeltsin, and commence to looting Russian wealth again.
I think they believe that. They are insane.
Ukrainians? Or Chechnya’s Muslims? Or Mossad? Or the CIA?
No more insane than Soros and his USA minions.
They “only” killed 5-7, 4 of the 5 missiles were destroyed, the last one rained pieces on the beach which caused the deaths. It was bad but not 124.
And yes, they are insane.
The United State’s Pentagon, or military-industrial complex has “nothing to say,” after Ukraine used U.S.-supplied weapons to strike a busy Crimean beach. The deadly Ukrainian cluster munition attack on a crowded beach in Sevastopol, Russia on Sunday, killed at least four people, among them two children, and injured 151 others.
shtfplan.com/headline-news/pentagon-has-no-comment-after-u-s-weapons-were-used-by-ukraine-to-strike-a-crimean-beach
“The United State’s Pentagon, or military-industrial complex has “nothing to say,” after Ukraine used U.S.-supplied weapons to strike a busy Crimean beach.”
The MIC had little to nothing to say after we got our sorry meddling asses run out of Vietnam after years of futile fighting based on lies – as it always is. We claimed to have a “domino theory” and when we get a “theory”, well, that justifies killing and hurting millions of people.
Ain’t that right benr? Just a little theorizing is all it takes and we’re off to the next war!
@lil piggy
Tell us something dim one who was funding, arming, training, advising, and often fighting alongside the likes of the Viet Cong?
What group of assholes tried to establish often by force or otherwise in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Yugoslavia, Poland, North Korea, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, China, Tibet, North Vietnam, Guinea, Cuba, Yemen, Sudan, Congo, Burma, Angola, Benin, Cape Verde, Laos, Kampuchea, Madagascar, Mozambique, South Vietnam, Somalia, Seychelles, Afghanistan, Grenada, and Nicaragua!
The short-sighted nay blindness involved with all these American nay sayers is nothing short of appalling.
benr, the USA stomping all over earth for corporate profits is making things worse not better. D’uh!
@og
Psst your opinion is showing again.
You have zero proof of such but I can point to countries like Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela where the misery index is 100%.
“Injuring and killing 124 people” means 124 people either injured or killed.
In any case, it was an atrocity.
But is it worse than what is now going on in Ukraine and if so, why?
Seems we have yet another one sided opinion from Paula.
Paula why are you not worried about all the civilian deaths at the hands of Russia?
Do they not have little kids and moms in Ukraine?
And don’t give me that bullshit Russia is not attacking civilians as well.
Paula D: “I get the distinct impression that the current crop of overlords actually believe the bullshit they spew, and that is scarier… They are insane.”
Yes, they are insane. And that insanity is born from their own self-hatred. They may project power and self-satisfaction on the surface… but those are false identities. Those identities are created internally by them because at their very core they have self-hatred. And since persons cannot continue to live with the knowledge that they actually hate themselves… they project that hatred on to others. That’s why hate in some form actually is at the core of everything they do.
The Power Elitists, the Wokesters, the Karens and Kens, the kids suffering from sexual identity delusions, and others all suffer from this deep affliction of self-hatred. They have no healthy or normal sense of self.
And sadly, with all the mind-warping going on much of the rest of the human family has also grown to hate themselves.
No one should be fooled by outward appearances.
The whole system’s ‘insane’– something quickly perceived through an anarchist lens.
How insane? Let me count the ways…
Why do empires invent realities? Because they can.
Started with cuneiform clay tablets, then hieroglyphics, then Gutenberg, then the Internet.
It gets faster easier better all the time.
Read Philip K. Dick’s “The Penultimate Truth” for an excellent example.
RS: “But all this will give the Dark State actors pushing these two characters around a good and hearty laugh at how the American people actually think this stuff means anything.”
Yep. I figured this out in 2020 when, during the debate, President Trump spent more time arguing with the filthy moderators than with his challenger. It was then that I learned that all of this Federal election crap is nothing more than a pile of steaming bull shit.
I will be working in my garden during the debate. Not going to give one second of my life to watching that tripe.

“Sheldon Wolin coined the term [inverted totalitarianism] in 2003 to describe what he saw as the emerging form of government of the United States. He said that the United States was turning into a managed democracy (similar to an illiberal democracy). He uses the term ‘inverted totalitarianism’ to draw attention to the totalitarian aspects of such a system, while the term inverted helps to portray the many differences with classical totalitarianism…
The term ‘illiberal democracy’ describes a governing system that hides its ‘nondemocratic practices behind formally democratic institutions and procedures’. There is a lack of consensus among experts about the exact definition of illiberal democracy or whether it even exists.
The rulers of an illiberal democracy may ignore or bypass constitutional limits on their power. While liberal democracies protect individual rights and freedoms, illiberal democracies do not. Elections in an illiberal democracy are often manipulated or rigged, being used to legitimize and consolidate the incumbent rather than to choose the country’s leaders and policies.
According to jurist András Sajó, illiberal democracy should be counted as a type of democracy because it is ‘democratic in a plebiscitarian sense’, while political scientist Ulrich Wagrandl argues that ‘illiberal democracy is actually more true to democracy’s roots’. Other theorists say that classifying illiberal democracy as democratic is overly sympathetic to the illiberal regimes and therefore prefer terms such as electoral authoritarianism, competitive authoritarianism, or soft authoritarianism.” ~ Wikipedia

“abortion pills for women inconvenienced by motherhood”
lowest common denominator
I met an unemployed critter yesterday who has fathered, thus far, eleven children from seven different women and is no longer employable. I almost puked when I realized the tax implications.
That’s impressive, but I think I can top it
A few years ago in Hartford it was revealed at sentencing a man — apparently an aspiring hip hop artist and neighborhood lothario — had fathered 29 children with 8 different women, none of which he was married to. Even the Judge stood in awe.
BRH,

Old joke:
Wilt Chamberlain, taxi passenger, cruising down a California highway at night, looks over to his right at the glowing lights amid the blackness. To the cabbie, casually:
“See that over there? I fathered that town.”
If they were Mornons at least they’s be paying their own way and taking care of their own. Alas, the law of the jungle is incapable of co-existing with polite society.
Twenty nine, huh? Damn, I gotta get out more.
Yeah, he’s getting a refund for each of those 11 children. A refund of taxes he probably never paid.
My sister-in-law is a bum, has 7 children and each year she gets a refund of 8,000 or 9,000. She has never paid a dime of tax in her life. All of the federal income tax I pay goes right to her “refund.”
Giving men equal rights in family court is the essential first step. Women are against this utterly and completely. They don’t want the discipline of equality except when it benefits them.
Not to sound like Q, Jarek, but don’t you mean “equity” instead of “equality”?
Equal rights and equal lefts. Equity means that nobody wins – except the special needs races, including the race of women.

Just sayin.

“I find myself increasingly shocked at the unthinking and automatic rubbishing of men which is now so part of our culture that it is hardly even noticed.
Great things have been achieved through feminism. We now have pretty much equality at least on the pay and opportunities front, though almost nothing has been done on child care, the real liberation.
We have many wonderful, clever, powerful women everywhere, but what is happening to men? Why did this have to be at the cost of men?
I was in a class of nine- and ten-year-olds, girls and boys, and this young woman was telling these kids that the reason for wars was the innately violent nature of men.
You could see the little girls, fat with complacency and conceit while the little boys sat there crumpled, apologising for their existence, thinking this was going to be the pattern of their lives. The teacher tried to catch my eye, thinking I would approve of this rubbish. This kind of thing is happening in schools all over the place and no one says a thing.
It has become a kind of religion that you can’t criticise because then you become a traitor to the great cause, which I am not.
It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.
Men seem to be so cowed that they can’t fight back, and it is time they did.”

The State as described by Marx needs dedication by the workers. Get it , feudalism with a small group of technical Elite running the show. Families are an enemy, fathers teach freedom and responsibility to children, mothers teach empathy, caring, and interpersonal skills to kids. Together, it has been shown by many studies, well balanced families produce healthy, mental and physical kids. Conversely, one parent upbringing bring up a majority of problem kids. BTW, uncaring or uninvolved parents will give the same result. No one is even investigating the effect of same sex parenting, nor will it be even investigated.
So Biden’s Mob goals needs the breakup of the family unit, with the ascension of the state as the child rearers. You think things are effed up now?
I personally know of two boys raised by two angry lesbians. The boys are very aggressive and violent towards others. Clearly angry. Why? Because there is no alpha male in the house to calm those poor boys down, to show them how to behave.
In the meantime these lesbians get pats on the back and kudos for saving to unwanted boys from the system.
I would imagine that most of the children of lesbians end up obese, as most lesbians I have known are morbidly obese.
Doris Lessing: a great novelist and brilliant mind. Though, yes, communism was her blind spot.
In her great novel The Golden Notebook, however, she criticized it with nuance and elegance, giving the inside scoop on what actually happened during meetings, as well as the incisive character assessments of those who were attracted to the ideology.
With few exceptions, lesbians hate boys and men far more than gays hate girls or women. It should be a criminal offense for lesbians to try to raise boys.
Interesting. I’ve long thought that most gay men are highly misogynistic and view women as simpleminded, childlike beings that they can dress up and have saunter around for their amusement.
No, most gays admire and adore women. You’re thinking of sex realists, MGTOW and White Nationalists.
More women attend US universities than men. Men are avoiding college in favor of learning a trade and going into business for themselves.
I’m fighting back and I stand up for my sons. I don’t put women on a pedestal nor do I worship them. I honor good and intelligent women but I don’t worship them.
There is a clear movement of young men who have decided to go it alone, with out women.
Like all things in the good ole US of A, the pendulum has swung too far to one side. It is inevitable that it will swing back to the other side. The time is coming.
Many women today are just plain insane.
I’ve been listening lately to pastors Dr Michael Murdock and now deceased Dr Myles Munroe. They have much to say on this subject Jarek. But in general, America’s current condition today is due, generally speaking, to a long period of mental collapse which from my observations really began during the 1960’s. Yes, I like In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida too, but the one two punch of mass drug culture and propaganda has decimated US. Thus, the ongoing collapse of America is really the result of the mental collapse, by both the general populace and the insane clown posse at the helm and those down in engineering.
“The week ahead looks like an all-you-can-eat, steam table bank of consequence.”
Maybe.
But I’m beginning to sense a relatively undiscussed, longer term consequence that may be unfolding among a portion of populist right supporters.
Back in the 1960s, the then emerging populist New Left (who saw themselves as distinct from the old U.S. totalitarian Communist party linked to the Soviet Union) developed a critique of both concentrations of private (corporate) power as well as Big State (government) power, especially around foreign policy decisions linked to the war in Vietnam.
Back then, the establishment uni-party elites became especially antagonist to this populist left in the U.S and did what they could to derail, disrupt, and discredit this political movement (see, for example, Church hearings on CIA intelligence surveillance and infiltration of domestic left populist dissent).
Flash forward to 2024 and it is now right populist dissent which is being labeled as deplorable, potentially terrorist, and racist by the present establishment uni-party elites.
These right populist forces are also now just beginning to develop a critique of private concentrations of corporate power (think Big Tech and Hunter Biden laptop) along with their traditional and quite sophisticated critique of Big State power.
The real nightmare of our Big State/Big Corporate/Big Intelligence overlords may be some kind of eventual merger between populist right and populist left (think for example, the Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger collaboration on internet surveillance).
” Considering “Joe Biden’s” cratering poll numbers, it looks like the public is tired of this incessant lying and is fixing to vote his regime out of office.”
I hope so! But if so, CNN would have gone broke by now. And the NYT. And the WP. One can only hope.
Mr. Kunstler’s Friday edition will be extremely interesting if Thursday’s presidential debate actually takes place. Donald Trump has proposed two debate strategies: He could provide the American people with numerous examples that prove Joe Biden is the worst president the US has ever had. Or, Trump could simply allow Biden to demonstrate his advanced mental deterioration by letting him try to utter a couple of coherent sentences. I’m in favor of the latter strategy. So, let’s see if the presidential debate becomes a reality Thursday night.
It will be difficult for DJT to keep quiet and wait for the implosion. Not really in his personality.
Yet, he points to the ‘gag order’ a lot. (He also uses the phrase ‘a lot’ a lot).
The gag order line could be great cover for avoiding the land mines waiting in this rigged-from-the beginning ‘debate’.
If the ‘debate’ actually happens.
President Trump’s microphone may be muted but that won’t stop him from throwing jabs across the stage to rattle SloJoe’s cage.
Excellent!
GLT – Responses from last CFN
Give it up OG. Your stupid test is BS. Who could possibly know this crap. Can even 10 people keep a secret? I seriously doubt it. I know that even with HIPPA violations being a felony the bladder mouths on the bonebox could not keep their mouths shut. What? who? shit? you won’t believe it? Sonofabitch?
Myself. I could not give a shit. To each their own. Some people need to denigrate others to justify their existence.
– stelmosfire
First of all, read the instructions:
… score a 1 if you believe that it was a black op and a 0 if you believe the official story.
It says nothing of “know[ing].” Thus, the GLT is an opinion poll. Are you saying that all Sociological opinion polls are BS or are you singling out the GLT? If the former, you are a moron. If the latter, what is your basis for this distinction of just one Sociological opinion poll?
Secondly, we have discussed this before, elmo. Yes, ordinary people cannot keep a secret but that proves nothing. To become a member of TPTB’s Big Club, one must perform horrific acts on children on video. That is, anyone in the know does not talk because doing so would end their lives (metaphorically or, even, literally).
Further, you seem to run on the ridiculous assumption that someone talking would even matter while, here in the real world, people talking doesn’t amount to shit. You see, TPTB run Justice, MSM and Social Media. Talkers, while handled individually on a case-by-case basis, are ignored, shunned, ridiculed and/or whacked.
Tertiarily, I did not develop the GLT here on CFN “to denigrate others to justify [my] existence.” What an unfounded and despicable allegation!
Actually, I have developed the GLT to quantify how much TPTB’s BS each subject willingly swallows with the goal of helping them awake from their slumber and finally realize the truth of our evil PTB.
Finally, no, I will not “give it up.” I’m doing God’s work waking people up to the truth and you are not the boss of me. You can’t tell me what to do.

OG…is a GLT score a forever thing or can it change over time as one ripens and matures?
– tom clark
You can indeed raise your GLT as you become more informed and analyze, tom. In fact, that is the GLT’s very purpose.
Interesting fact about an individual’s GLT score: it only goes up. Nobody has a decreasing GLT and that fact alone validates it as a Sociological instrument striving for the truth.
“Interesting fact about an individual’s GLT score: it only goes up.”
I don’t know about that. I have an acquaintance – Woke Commie Frenemy – who used to be somewhat skeptical and open-minded but who now drinks the official Kool-Aid to the point of becoming diabetic. He gets stupider and more accepting of what he is told by “the official sources” with each passing day.
Interesting. I stand corrected. Thanks, BB. While I highly suspect that your acquaintance is a statistical outlier, I will no longer speak of this in absolute terms.
I hope he’s an outlier, but I see stupidity advancing on all fronts – at blitzkrieg speed – these days.
If 26 billion, which may not exist, in weaponry would end the Gaza fiasco, so be it. Praise Biden? Hardly, he hates Bibi and Israel and only the pressure of the Jewish community forces him to try to send weapons, which he hasn’t done yet anyway.
– JAZ
Nice tap dance, JAZ. Now answer my two very simple questions:
Are you for or are you against your Congress minting $26,000,000,000 more of your insurmountable debt to just give to Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo (to spend on MIC’s wares)?
If so, then praise Biden for rubber-stamping it (regardless of motive).
If not, then say so.
A or B?
Note: Any delays in delivering the $26 bil of MIC wares to Israel are completely irrelevant to my two very simple questions.
Now your turn,
What would you suggest will stop the debacle in Gaza? How would you stop the rocket attacks by Gaza or Hezbollah on Israel cities? Do you have a secret agenda that will stop the Arab attacks (since 1948) on Israel? And then the Israel reprisals. And you, the champion of UN and ICC actions against Bibi and Israel, how come the legitimate creation of a dual state in Palestine by the UN in 1948, then totally rejected by the Arabs in war, sticks in your craw so much?
Explain your duplicity please.
– JAZ
Unlike your constant tap-dancing, I will directly answer your questions.
I suggest laissez-faire. Leave it alone. No, I do not “have a secret agenda that will stop the Arab attacks (since 1948) on Israel” but why are the never-ending troubles in the Middle East the US’s taxpayers’ obliteration? Why are we to stop rockets half a world away while we finance rockets half a world away? Clearly that makes no sense.
The world would be a better place if the USA simply followed their Founding Fathers’ explicit wisdom and simply stayed out of other people’s fights and minded our own business.
That is, I needn’t explain my “duplicity” because I have none. I am 100% consistent while AIPAC/ADL run DC.
***
Note: I’m a “champion” of neither the UN nor the ICC. I’ve merely referenced these august bodies as they are indicative of world opinion and the USA, being merely 4% of the earth’s population, ought to care about world opinion, imho.

@og
History would tell anyone with half a brain otherwise and that your opinion is not only naive but actually dangerous.
Pick up any history book and read about mankind’s inability to live in peace with each other.
Simply look at the Pakistan India partition and the 1,000,000 people that died as a result of that and the 15,000,000 forced to move as a result.
They are still fighting and have bad blood over it.
So what? Why is every war on earth the USA’s responsibility?
George Washington was dangerous? I don’t think so. George Washington was wise. Mind your own freaking bees wax.
George Washington would sing a different tune now as would ALL the founding fathers of MY country.
I have already framed that debate and you opted out.
Speaking of minding your own business try it sometime Canadian.
Washington was the first neocon! HAHA!
Let me get this straight.
Russia can attack Ukraine on Ukrainian soil but the reverse is not allowed?
Are these Ukrainians operating the missile batteries?
American contractors?
I do know a law was recently passed that said Americans fighting in Ukraine get military benefits.
Waging war against a country that can hit back has consequences as Ukraine has discovered.
If not for hundreds of billions in aid this would be over already.
Russia might want to reexamine its stated goals for victory and offer terms for peace.
It’s only going to get uglier from this point forward.
Russia warns US to brace for retaliation after Crimea missile attack
Source MSN MILEAGE MAY VARY.
The Kremlin accused the U.S. of ‘killing Russian children’ after a Ukrainian attack on occupied Crimea with long-range ATACMS missiles supplied by Washington. Moscow summoned the U.S. ambassador to issue a formal warning, and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov issued a biting public comment blaming the U.S., calling the strike ‘barbaric.’
‘You should ask my colleagues in Europe, and above all in Washington, the press secretaries, why their governments are killing Russian children. Just ask them this question,’ Peskov told reporters.
The attack in Sevastopol killed at least four people, including two children. Russia blamed the U.S. and said 150 were injured. Video shows panicked beachgoers fleeing from falling shrapnel after Russian air defense intercepted the missiles.
Russia seized Crimea in 2014, and Ukraine has launched a series of drone attacks at Russian naval assets and the Black Sea port since Russia’s 2022 invasion. The ATACMs, long sought by Kiev, provide a longer range than missiles previously supplied by the U.S.
The U.S. began supplying the ATACMs to Ukraine earlier this year after intense lobbying from Kiev. Weeks ago, the U.S. changed its policy to allow use of the weapons inside Russian territory along border regions with Ukraine.
That came amid relentless Russian attacks on Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, after Moscow experienced battlefield gains.
Ukrainian commanders have pleaded for the authority to use the weapons to strike where Russia amasses troops and stores aircraft and ammunition for its assaults on its territory.
The long-range ATACMs were included in a March military aid package, although restrictions still prevent their use deep inside Russian territory. They have a range of 300 kilometers (about 190 miles). Russia’s war on Ukraine, and Ukraine’s defense by the U.S. and NATO allies, has put deep strains between the U.S. and Russia, both nuclear powers.
After the Sevastopol strike, Russia accused the U.S. of ‘waging a hybrid war against Russia and has actually become a party to the conflict.’ Russia threatened in comments to ambassador Lynne Tracy that the attack would ‘not go unpunished. Retaliatory measures will definitely follow.’
You Americans are so naive.

OG, a simple question. Have you ever been witness to someone that is on their last breath?
My response was usually, F-U, Fu, Fu. Mother FU—ker.
Yer dead.
We used to bring cardiac arrest patients into the ER (probably the 90’s). There was a cool Doc from Texas with a wicked southern drawl. After we did CPR all the way to the hospital and pumped the stiffs full of drugs. the Doc wolud say. What are you doing, “When there dead there dead.”
As I listen to the Brazil v Costa Rica game at SoFi, I will answer your question… The death rattle I have heard.
Hi elmo. I’m unclear why you’d ask me such a thing … but, in the spirit of cooperative debate, I’ll respond to your simple question.
No, I have never been witness to someone that is on their last breath.
What a terrible doctor. Was he suggesting that you not try to keep them alive?
A burnout. So many in the medical industry. You too?
Jarek, without a DNR order we were required to perform all the BS heroics. Terminal patients , wasted away with cancer, and we would have to perform CPR and all that shit on them. Cracking ribs was commonplace. Horrible. I’m a big guy and doing CPR in the back of a moving ambulance is not conducive to gentle loving care. I myself would prefer to go in peace without a sweating asshole pushing on my sternum.
Did you break any ribs?
When I asked how many cars you hit with the snow plow you didn’t answer. I expect no answer here either.
Jarek, I must have missed your snowplow question. I NEVER hit any cars but one hit me and the plow. there was one driver, (a woman driving like an a-hole ) spun out into my lane and totaled her car and my ’69 wagoneer, and put herself and her dog in the hospital. I was driving about 15 mph at the time and she lost it in a corner doing maybe 40. I grabbed my steering wheel so hard that it became inverted. I had nothing but a strained wrist.
Yea, I broke ribs. They break easy. I hated it when people called for the ambulance as their beloved breathed their last. Everybody knew it was coming. Let ’em go in peace for chrissakes.. Either they did not get a DNR or they could not find it in the panic of the moment. So here we are , required by law to rush them to the hospital, intubate them, pump drugs, perform CPR, run up a big bill, and all for naught. Doctor calls it as soon as he gets the story.My partner and I look at each other, WTF Sometimes we would get a rhythm and the patient would go to the cardiac floor for a couple days and then die. Another huge bill. When the big C stops your heart there’s no coming back and it’s actually a relief for all involved
Well this I agree with. If a person dies during a long, fatal illness, then the suffering is over for them and for everyone else. Indeed, why bring them back for more “fun”?
So. for once we agree on something. Kudos to you my obstinate, obdurate friend.What has it been? 15-20 years butting heads on this we site?

“Russia seized Crimea in 2014 …”
Crimea belonged to Russia until Kruschev handed it to Ukraine without asking its citizens. The only people who should get to bleat about Crimea are the Tatars, as far as I can see.
Crimea is an interesting place, where east meets west, the crossroads of the world. The Golden Hordes from the east — carrying bubonic plague in their caravans from Mongolia — laid siege to Sevastopol in the mid 14th century; relief ships from Venice and Marseilles carried the plague back into Europe. (With devastating consequences)
Covid? haha. it’s all fun and games until the Black Death comes knockin’.
Modern medicine will save us. Take the shot!
Covid-19: The disease that cried wolf.
Pfizer CEO says COVID was just a test… “a rehearsal” for something bigger yet to come
naturalnews.com/2024-06-23-pfizer-comment-covid-test-rehearsal.html
When Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said that COVID-19 was just a test, it pretty much flew under the radar, but history tells us this comment could prove to be more of a warning than an off-handed comment.
“I truly think the best days of Pfizer are ahead of us because Covid was, for me, like a rehearsal, prove generali, how you can mobilize an organization and do the impossible, possible, against a main disease,” Bourla said.
It’s a pretty ominous statement when you think about it considering that when we look back, we can often find instances where someone warned us, either directly or in a more subtle way, that something bad was brewing but no one heeded the warning.

Everyone who has laid claim to the Crimea has taken it from someone else – like every other place in the world.
I say give it back to the Scythians – if you can find them. If not, then give it back to the Goths – they need a new home to replace Sweden.
StE. Re black death and other delights, they are working on modRNA antibiotics as we speak. Everything is to be modRNA, because it proved itself to be doubleplusgood for covid*. Other antibiotics will be retired after you’ve been propagandised into believing they don’t work any more.
*Obviously you have to be prepared to be a coincidence theorist when you read things like this:
‘Flight NE130 from Cairo to Taif, Saudi Arabia diverted to Jeddah, when Captain Hassan Youssef Adas, passed away suddenly mid-flight.
Announcement of the co-pilot:
“I apologize for changing the flight path to King Abdulaziz Airport in Jeddah due to the death of my brother and friend, Captain Hassan.” ‘
Can’t remember whose Twitter a/c I copied it from or would provide a link.
Some politician, or related, in maybe Estonia, apparently said that Russia’s too big. Funny, but I might have said that hereon. In any event, there may be many politcos who feel that way, that Russia is juicy with all those minerals and land and whatnot and that it would do well to be carved up into smaller bite-sized morsels. If they think so, it should be interesting to see if or how that works out. How much money has been poured into the hunt so far? I wonder what the cutoff might be– when will it be too much?
Zaz
It is interesting that Siberia, Russia East, is being “invaded” by Chinese.
Probably encouraged.
Encouraged by whom?
You said you weren’t “into” Ukraine. Looks like you lied. You want a three front World War. You will stand beside Admiral Levine to the bitter end.
I lied?
No, I asked a simple question and made a comment about going to war with the expectation that at some point the other side will manage to attack your country.
Then asked if these missile platforms were being run by Ukrainians or Americans.
Russia can’t whine if it was Ukrainians.
I have zero skin in the game on this one and would rather see both sides settle this before more people are killed.
Benr
War is the Fourth Turning, it is the resolution of a division between two peoples. It is a philosophy change. It is NEVER resolved by ceasefires or any “we’ll see” answer.
War needs to be targeted to win, to obliterate the other side. This is the mistake that America has made over and over since WW2. If any group of mankind decides to war, it must commit to win, if not the war just delays for a moment and restarts. Over and over and over.
OG, that is why I am FOR Israel and Bibi to end this debacle, both north and south once and for all, just like WW2 with Germany and Japan. Japan- we dropped two nukes on them and destroyed Tokyo with incendiaries and the SOBs in government still wanted to continue fighting. I support Congress’s effort to get the job done, for Israel to clobber the Hamas and Hezbollah proxies once and for all. If it means river to sea, so be it. If the Pali folks support and hide the Hamas thugs, then they are combatants and will be collateral damage, period. Your supposedly sympathetic attitude about those poor Palis belies your real antipathy against Israel, of which you and I will never agree. So yes, I support our support for Israel and would agree with Congress and Biden on it.
Oh, BTW, Austin came out yesterday and stated that almost no aid from the 26 billion has made it to Israel as a policy shift by Biden. I think the proper word is two faced, a Leftist directive. My guess, they are busily making weapons right now after realizing we do not have enough right now to protect ourselves,
And you too, Canadian.
So Biden may be doing the Leftist song and dance again, promise everything and produce nothing.
Your Ideology Is Showing

There are universal truths, thus universal values. The average Christian thinks the Ten Commandments are unique. They are utterly wrong about that.
Mandatory vaccinations are fine for whoever wants them? As Scotty said on Star Trek, Care to rephrase that, laddy?
The average pharisee also believes this.

Nope, it is ignorant lazy people who would rather believe in and do what the government says without question.
It is significant, like 50% of the population.
One of the dumbest demographics of the American population is that college graduates support the Leftist Dem side. It make you wonder about the future, allowing universities brain wash these kids. The good news is that kids in Gen Z+ are opting out of college, realizing what a trap it is. There will be a conservative movement to the electorate as a consequence, hopefully.
BTW, those hard core Leftist college grads to a large degree fail in their careers and turn to the universal pit for failures, politics.
“The average Christian thinks the Ten Commandments are unique. They are utterly wrong about that.”
If they were given to Moses at M. Sinai, how could they be unique to Christianity? Do these Christians think they are unique to Christianity because Jews rejected them when they rejected Jesus?
I believe Hammurabi put out a set of laws for his people to follow, before the Ten Commandments.
God decided that the way to convince the world of His existence and the worth of His Way was to create a core of people and groom them with His rules, hence the Commandments.
He then seeded other areas with Hebrew dislocations like the Assyrian, Babylonian and Roman Diasporas. The final global spread started with Jesus, the Acts of the Apostles and Paul and ended with the Diaspora. Get it? Christians and Jews have been doing the same function, ‘Spreading the word” for God for 2000 years. The animosity is stupid.
The moral codes of Buddhism, Hinduism, etc are amazingly similar. It’s almost as if they were drawing from the same Truth.
The Jews didn’t preach to non-Jews, John. They are a people who shall dwell alone, as Jehovah or somebody said.
HINDUISM–Dravidianism was a source for

Bullshit. Benr reaches what he thinks that the USA should be and is pissed off by how badly recent history has shown the failure of the political class in the Deep State has done its job.
The job? Enforce the US Constitution and protect the lives and rights of the American people.
What is being left behind in the USA by its government was the “shining light on the hill”. That light has just about been extinguished by the Deep State.
The USA has made one major error over the last 70 years. When you have been designated to be the Top Cop for the world, you kick ass. All these wars we have fought have a common denominator, we never won any of them. We never even defined victory, just fought and fought and fought until the public got sick of losing folks. That is a direct result of the corruption of the Deep State by the MIC. We are now wallowing in the aftermath of the many “other sides” now coming back to undo what we have tried to accomplish, thanks to our internal politics. BRICS+++++ is a direct reflection of this.
All Empires crumble from internal corruption.

Julian Assange is free after reaching a plea deal with the regime’s DOJ. So a lot of people are happy and i am glad he is free but I don’t feel like celebrating yet. What was the deal? Is journalism essentially illegal? There is nothing good about this regime so I dunno I just don’t trust things on that. On the other hand Alex Jones is not being shut down and liquidated. It sounds like “the families” are showing their hands in the state courts right now. More info to come once the battle is done lol. i always meet my obligations.
Jones is not? Is that a mistake? But yes, amazing news on Assange. Maybe he was simply too big to shut away and kill.
His wife worked tirelessly on his behalf. Such a wife is a blessing.

For at least 6 months of the year anyway.
The campaign for war with Russia appears to be spinning up wondering if this is real of just made up shit.
I mean it is MSN and they do tend to lie a lot.
msn.com/en-us/news/world/russian-commanders-throwing-soldiers-into-pits-and-starving-them-for-minor-offenses
Russian military commanders punish their subordinates for disobedience and minor offenses. Those who fall out of favor are placed into a pit and starved with the aim of re-education, informs the National Resistance Center.
“Russia’s unchanged approaches to the formation and education of the morale of its armed forces are observed in the temporarily occupied Donetsk region,” the report states.
It is noted that more than 120 Russian military personnel are currently held in the Donetsk pit for various offenses against their commanders.
“For the slightest offense, they are imprisoned here, denied food and water so that the “soldier” can rethink his mission in a special atmosphere,” the NRC reports.
It is said that those who end up in this “correctional facility” potentially become assault troops and soon carry out tasks in hot spots on the front line.
“And as for the life expectancy of recruited Russian soldiers. For example, those who want to fight against Ukraine and get to the front by signing a contract with the Russian Ministry of Attack in prison live no more than eight months,” the National Resistance Center concludes.
Russian ‘meat assaults’
It is worth noting that Russian commanders often send occupiers who have somehow misbehaved while serving in the invading army into assault battles.
These are often order violators or those who disagree with the Russian military leadership’s rhetoric regarding combat decisions. To avoid unnecessary problems, Russian military leadership uses such manpower in directions on the front where heavy fighting takes place.
@ benr ” wondering if this is real or just made up shit.”
I’ve got a clue for you benr – most everything you are reading and then regurgitating here is from “made up shit”.
Thanks for stating your very biased opinion but I try and deal in facts.

After the US dollar is worthless and America is broke to the point nobody loans her money anymore – well – after that, most of Israel will pack up and move back home to wherever they or their ancestors came from. Without US help Israel cannot exist. This problem will eventually solve itself.
The wandering Israelis are all over.
Maybe more in el ay than NYC.
and just everywhere [except gaza].

“Crimea was culturally Greek for 2 thousand years, and even retained its Greek characteristic when occupied by the Romans. In medieval times Crimea was a principality of Venice and Genoa.”
The Mongols laid siege on Crimea in the 13th century but ultimately were willing to accept the Genovese & Venetians as commercial trading partners.
Here we have an example of east-west cooperation. Good thing too because Europeans were busy with the Crusades… with an eye on the Golden Hordes, who threatened to assault & occupy western Europe all the way to the English Channel. As it was they got into Hungary, and were threatening Vienna. It was a close run thing.
The Balkanization of Yugoslavia was the latest Christian-Muslim split. What Turkey is doing right now, re NATO is just another example. Israel another as Fundamentalist Christians support the Jews in Israel.
The latest crusade?
“Fundamentalist Christians support the Jews in Israel” while the Jews in Israel accept their money (of course) and call them goyim (i.e. animals).
Talk about stupid. It’s a totally abusive relationship.
The Huns and Magyars were able to make their way into France. The Mongols never got there. Thank God for Germans!!

A newly surfaced document has revealed that the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and intelligence systems had detailed knowledge of Hamas’s plan to raid Israel and kidnap 250 people weeks before the October 7 massacre.
The document, which was compiled in the Gaza Division, outlined Hamas’s intentions and was known to top intelligence officials, according to a report by Kan News.
Did they really ignore this? Or did they want to use it as an excuse for ethnic cleansing and to take over the territory?
Ignore it? Heck, they intentionally stood down for it.

“Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo is a war criminal because collective punishment is a war crime and he has slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent women and children”
The USA slaughtered tens of thousands of innocent women and children while conducting the failed war in Vietnam. We were there because we had a “domino theory.” This theory turned out to be utter bullshit, and the USA has still to apologize for the war crimes in Vietnam. Instead of complaining about Israel’s war crimes – how about ours. Afghanistan? That was another failure with trillions of dollars pissed away. Korea? That failed. Korea still scares us to this very day! At the moment, the Houthis, a small hole in wall 3rd world country, are beating our ass in the Red Sea.
And the Russians have not apologized yet for the mass rape of German women. And the Japanese for the mass rape of Chinese and Korean women. And Zulus for killing our kids at blood river by dashing their heads against stones as King David talks about in the Bible.
McNamara apologized for Vietnam.
You are very stupid, elmo.

Jarek says:
“And the Russians have not apologized yet for the mass rape of German women.”
Tough shit. The Russians were in a particularly foul mood when they were chasing the Germans all the way back to Berlin. Russia had lost – according to some new estimates based on studying old records – up to 30 million people during WWII. Russian villages had been massacred by SS units. The German women can blame part of their misfortune on German soldiers and SS units that had *really* pissed off the Russians. Most of those women were lucky they weren’t raped *and* killed.

Messi, Israel may have had an inkling of Hamas Oct. 7 plan, the problem is, Israeli Intelligence might uncover a dozen of these plans per month … Hamas is always cooking up plots to damage Israel, that’s all they do. Determining which threats are credible and likely and which are not, is the hard part. Israel is surrounded by enemies and it’s not easy to maintain a state of eternal vigilance.
Thus the most secure border on earth stood down for 10+ hours while fifteen (15) breaches (each big enough for terrorists on dirt bikes) were established through the most secure border wall on earth and gaggles of paragliders slowly flocked to and fro overhead to the youth music festival relocated there just two days prior notwithstanding all the known intelligence for that area that day and 10 minutes would be an unacceptably slow response even with no intelligence whatsoever. Makes sense.

Good thinking.

The rule for Holy War: Do not spare a single soul.
The rabbi is emphatic: Don’t try and be clever with the Torah. It says, Do not spare a single soul and that’s what it means. The soldiers of today are the children who were spared last time. And the children are born from women who were spared.
The rabbi is correct. That is what the Torah says. The Torah is part of your Old Testament. So do you accept it like John Az? Or realize that it was inspired by Satan?
So the Old Testament is inspired by Satan, huh? How about the Revelation, Jarek, a Book in the New Testament where the End Times are described. The End Times, when Jesus (God) is going to destroy the humanity of Earth that does not line up with His ways. You invent a benevolent God, who will bend to your ego trips, which he is not.
You have said that the core of the Jewish religion and its offshoot, Christianity, is a derivative of Satan? If there was ever a doubt about your anti-semitism, it is gone.
Yes, I accept the Bible for what it is, humanity’s ongoing relationship with God. And proud of it.
“If there was ever a doubt about your anti-semitism, it is gone.”
Another definition to keep track of? Come on man, we haven’t nailed down the first one yet!
Defining semitism [ shem itism ] should come first.
Ancestor worship, hero worship, group reverence, race worship, self- worship…?
Anti-semitism or anti-shemitism, whatever.
Today, it is dislike for Jews, whether middle eastern or otherwise. Otherwise is most of the population of Israel, European.
Why do the USA and most of Europe support Israel’s existence? Easy, they are a bit of fully armed West in the middle of a region that is an armed camp ready to explode. As the source of oil for most of the west’s supplementary needs comes from the Middle East, having a whipping boy in the area is a positive. Especially if that whipping boy has the capability to send the bad boys into the Stone Age.
So call it what you will, antisemitic, Anti-Jewish or Anti-Zionist, it is hate for a sector of the world’s society that has prevailed through the ages under the banner of a God. All the Jew haters of the past are gone, Israel exists in their Promised Land.
“Today, it is dislike for Jews, whether middle eastern or otherwise.”
I’m not interested in “call (ing) it what you will”.
We can’t even talk about it because everybody and his dog is calling it [ our subject ] what they will.
Now, instead of historical, scriptural, traditional, and quoting from their own materials, you come up with “whatever”.

Opposing Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo’s war crimes and not wanting to finance them is not hate.
Yet opposing Bibi in his bid to destroy Hamas is supporting Hamas who is actually guilty of murder, rape, torture and attempting the Genocide of every Israeli which includes Arabs, Jews, Christians and a raft of other people.
Failure to do so just means Hamas will continue its reign of terror and murder.
Might be time for the idiots in Gaza to put better people into power with a different mission.
Say developing industry, tourism, food production, energy production and putting together an actual country instead of a violent welfare state.
Not all of it, just parts. Christ himself will have to “break it down” for us when He returns.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that need not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.“
It is our job.
So it’s not His book? Very smart people have worked to obfuscate it over a long period of time.
We can’t solve all of our own problems. Like over-population. You haven’t realized that yet? Sorting out the Bible is another one we can’t solve.
Sure, maybe an individual here and there who is in touch with their divine spark. But that’s not what we’re talking about, right? Or at least I wasn’t.
Per Revelation, the first 144000 folks admitted to Heaven are going to be Jews. Per the inspiration for John’s book, Jesus.
12 tribes, 12000 each.

What tribe does Abraham belong to?
The Jewish Nation only had two tribes [ Judah, Benjamin ] and a few of the Levites. Just wondering out loud, what tribe[ s ] were Issac
and Jacob part of?
@ Jarek who just wrote ” Christ himself will have to “break it down” for us when He returns.
What makes you think Christ will return? Will he be reincarnated and born the old fashioned way via a new Mary – or will he arrive by spaceship with great fanfare and horns blaring?
The historical Jesus would have been utterly astonished by the cult that was made about him later after he died. The historical Jesus in the synoptic gospels was preaching about a “kingdom of heaven” that was to arrive soon – but never did. “Apostle” Paul preached that it was just around the corner. Nope. As the years went by the stories about Jesus changed him from a simple man to a God/man hybrid of some sort. Jesus didn’t call himself God in the synoptic gospels, that came around 70 years later in the gospel of John.
But those stories they made up about Jesus were already familiar to the gentiles that Paul was preaching to. Paul and Christians like him just repackaged and rewrote contemporary Greco-Roman mythology and blended it with Judaism, claiming to have the new and improved version of Judaism to offer the world. The latest fad, in other worlds, is here courtesy of this new apostle who never met Jesus in person. All ya gotta do is believe Paul’s Christology – no need to follow Jewish law.
Here we are 2000 years later and it’s been a no show for this Jesus guy so far. But it can happen any moment now! If the dude really does show up and starts preaching again about peace, love, brotherhood, turning the other cheek etc. in the soon-to-be kingdom of heaven on the way – well – we’ll just nail him to a cross and shut him up again. Can’t have anybody around talking like that!
We want war, famine, and death. We want armies on the march and missiles flying! Jesus can go back to wherever he came from, and he can stick the kumbaya stuff where the sun don’t shine.
You vile creep. Thank you for not pretending to love Christ like you used to do.
” Thank you for not pretending to love Christ like you used to do.”
Everyone has their own versions and ideas about Jesus and who he was. When a person is 100% certain they have the only “correct” version of Jesus then they’ll tell you that you don’t love Christ unless you love their particular version of him. That’s how religious wars get started.
Very smart and knowledgeable people have asked the question about just who was the historical Jesus as opposed to the mythical one. People like Albert Schweitzer weren’t afraid to ask that question.

A Note on Shame: St. John the Baptist, Salome and Mrs. Beryl Muspratt
There are a few points on the subject of shame that I would like to expand upon. The first comes from the novel “Brideshead Revisited”, which demonstrates, completely contrary to the Modernist, post-Christian, Bergoglian anti-church heresy, how shame is a medicinal mercy.
If we can self-generate shame without having to have it applied from the exterior, then so much the better. But for many people, the shaming must be generated, at least initially, externally. This is a function of charity – true charity, not the mindless platitude consisting of indifference yielding permissiveness, or in giving people “free stuff”, or just simply “what makes them happy”. No, true charity is joy in the existence of another and thus a focused desire that that person make it to heaven. Full stop.
If you are not familiar with Brideshead Revisited, the context is easily explained. Set between the World Wars in England, Julia is civilly divorced from yet sacramentally married to Rex, and is shacking up with Charles, who is also civilly divorced. Charles and Julia make a real cute couple and “love” each other (inasmuch as people who express their “love” for one another do so by knowingly flagellating and crucifying Christ in exchange for having an orgasm, can actually be said to love one another in any honest sense of the word.)
[Bridey has just announced his engagement to Beryl Muspratt, a widow with three children. Julia asks why he hasn’t brought Beryl to Brideshead to meet her]
Lord Brideshead ‘Bridey’: [pompously] You must understand that Beryl is a woman of strict Catholic principle, fortified by the prejudices of the middle classes. I couldn’t *possibly* bring her here. It is a matter of indifference whether you choose to live in sin with Rex or Charles or both – I have always avoided enquiry into the details of your ménage – but in no case would Beryl consent to be your guest.
Julia Mottram: Why, you pompous ass!
[Julia walks out of the room, holding back tears]
Charles Ryder: Bridey! What a bloody offensive thing to say to Julia.
Lord Brideshead ‘Bridey’: [coldly] It was nothing she should object to. I was merely stating a fact well known to her.
Long story short, Julia eventually breaks off her affair with Charles and lives at home, alone for the rest of her life, reconciled to Our Lord through His Holy Church, namely through the Sacrament of Confession.
Beryl Muspratt, painted by all of the protagonists as a villain, ugly, frumpy, judgmental, and emblematic of “everything wrong with the Church”, even though she is never directly seen in the novel, only discussed and quoted a few times by others, is the most heroic figure in the novel. She is reported as always being kind to Julia, but unwavering in her defense of the Truth, in this case the Truth about marriage and the Sixth Commandment. Thus, she could never consent to being a guest in the home of a woman – even her own sister-in-law – whom she knows to be Living in Sin, because to do so would ratify the sin itself, ratify the torture and murder of God Himself, and also REDUCE the likelihood that Julia (and Charles) would repent, correct their situation, and die confessed and in a state of grace, be that five minutes hence, or five decades. Beryl cannot coerce Julia or anyone else to love God, but she can and rightly does apply medicinal shame to Julia in the hopes that the pain of that shame might lead Julia to stop torturing and killing Christ, and thus utterly rejecting His Love in favor of having orgasms with a cute guy, and in so doing, damning herself to hell.
It is precisely because Julia was made to feel PROFOUNDLY ASHAMED by Beryl refusing to enter her home that Julia set out on the road to repentance. If Beryl had been a typical Novus Ordo “church of Nice” Kathy-zombie of today and sought to “encounter” Julia with the “tender caresses” of FAUX MERCY, manifested by indifference to Julia and her mortally sinful lifestyle, Julia would have been EDIFIED AND CONFIRMED IN HER SIN, and thus would not have repented and corrected. And neither would Charles – both would have been lost to hell, in all likelihood.
Interestingly, Bridey, the older brother, is revealed by his own words as being “indifferent“, and thus it is BRIDEY, with his lack of charity for the soul of his own sister, that is the most villainous character in this particular scene. But even then, he concludes by stating that Julia has no right to object to the statement of facts which she already knows – namely the Sixth Commandment and Our Lord’s words in Matthew 19. The only thing Julia has a right to object to or be hurt by is Bridey, her own brother, declaring that he is “indifferent” to her sin, and thus to the fate of his own sister’s soul, not to mention Charles’ soul. That’s it. And Beryl Muspratt is indeed the heroine of the novel.
Finally, here is a very powerful image of Salome with the severed head of John the Baptist. It was technically Salome’s mother, Herodias, who was condemned by John for her illicit marriage and thus agitated her daughter to request John’s execution, but the symbolism of the shameless, sinful woman smugly looking down at John’s head is the point. Note the rehearsed air of power, the heavily practiced pose of defiance and victory, her features hard and joyless. Now look at The Baptist’s face. Even in death, his face is soft and quick, still emoting a genuine CHARITY. He almost looks to be making eye contact with the woman, still trying to convince her to repent. Now look back at the woman. Look now at how weak and shallow and PATHETIC she is compared to him, essentially naked, save her gaudy headdress and jewelry; as transparent and superficial as her gauze girdle. She fancies herself a queen, but she’s just a sad gutter denizen, wallowing and relishing in her own sin.
This image is a profound allegory of our post-Modern, post-Christian, feminist culture.
St. John the Baptist, pray for us.
Jarek:
ani: Bridey is the older brother.
SSL: Muspratt love
Beryl: Too bad you last name wasn’t Muspratt.
@ Jarek ” Charles and Julia make a real cute couple and “love” each other (inasmuch as people who express their “love” for one another do so by knowingly flagellating and crucifying Christ in exchange for having an orgasm, can actually be said to love one another in any honest sense of the word.)
Ok, I’m trying to imagine where you might be coming from. It seems that when Jarek has sex (if indeed that ever happens) – there’s no privacy going on there. Three persons are involved in Jarek’s affairs, not just two. God is there also watching Jarek having sex, God is in there in the bedroom with him and making sure Jarek Is having sex the correct way and above all, with the correct person! If Jarek isn’t doing it correctly then he must later confess his sins to a priest, and the priest then ensures that God knows about this and will forgive Jarek. Having orgasms incorrectly will result in Christ being brutally whipped and executed. We must always be careful not to do sex the wrong way because this makes God angry, and when God is angry he simply must relieve himself somehow of the overcoming emotions. The only way for God to be able to calm down is by whipping, torturing, or even executing someone. Apparently causing great pain to an innocent person not involved in Jarek’s orgasms is the only way for God to appease his wrath. So God tortures his son for three days, that will do it!
This makes perfect sense to me. Why don’t others get it?
“St. John the Baptist, pray for us.”
God ranks prayer efficiency according to the rank and title of the person praying. For example, having a priest or a bishop praying for you will work much better than just YOU praying. God doesn’t know you as well as he knows your preacher, God trusts your preacher much more than you. You aren’t nearly as important. Also, to get your priest or bishop to pray for you will work better if you pay them something. Merely going to confession might not work. But I like the idea of cutting out some middlemen and seeing if John the Baptist is out there listening and available for praying requests. John probably has some clout in God’s kingdom.
If you are a funnymentalist, then not paying your preacher is robbing God. God needs money and he needs it NOW! If you give God money he’ll double it for you eventually when he gives it back. Problem is, a day to the Lord can be as a thousand years. It might take three millenia to get your money back.
“God ranks prayer efficiency according to the rank and title of the person praying. For example, having a priest or a bishop praying for you will work much better than just YOU praying.”
I guess that is the Roman Catholic presumption. Lots of Protestants take a more anti-sacerdotalist approach. We have a hotline, which perhaps denotes more personal responsibility. Some might say a priest presuming to forgive or not forgive, on God’s behalf, is blasphemous. Not to mention that the Bible (Paul?) advises us to ‘confess your sins to one another’. Most of us tend to not quite do that, of course, on account of it being embarrassing. Also, re ‘prayer efficiency’, there is mention of the prayers of the righteous, so my prayers aren’t as effective as those of better people than me – I take that as read. Nothing to do with their ecclesiastical status.
On a point of information, regarding your post above this one, God is with you everywhere – doesn’t matter if you’re having sex, going to the toilet, cursing your family under your breath or doing something nice for a neighbour. His exact views in particular circumstances are not in my gift to elucidate – I do what I can, and get as much wrong as most people.
I haven’t read Brideshead, although I’ve seen a film version and I think I have the BBC box set, as yet unwatched. So I did some digging. Just in Wikipedia, which is a no-no for information on supposed ‘conspiracy theorists’, but reasonably accurate for book and film plotlines.
“[…]Julia is civilly divorced from yet sacramentally married to Rex, and is shacking up with Charles […].”
My Wiki digging tells me that Rex, prior to marrying Julia (and declaring his intention to convert to Catholicism) was married to someone else. So, that would be a contradiction of the notion that Julia is sacramentally married to Rex, who, one presumes, is actually sacramentally married to his former wife. Although Catholics get around such inconveniences by having marriages not specifically in Roman Catholic churches annulled and pretending they were invalid all along but they just never noticed before. One presumes this renders their children illegitimate? And possibly even understandably resentful. I knew someone who told me her brother did that. He married his first wife in a Protestant church, then had the marriage annulled in order to remarry in a Catholic church. He was Catholic all along, but just hadn’t noticed that his marriage wasn’t real until his second wife came along.
Interestingly (according to a radio play on the matter anyway), CS Lewis worked out a ‘solution’ in his mind to the problem of his wife, Joy Gresham, being divorced. He reckoned that, since her former husband had been married previously (she was Jewish originally) and Joy was his second wife, the marriage wasn’t valid, so it was fine for her to marry Lewis (who adopted her two boys). Presumably, since he wasn’t a Catholic, the RC church wouldn’t recognise that marriage either.
When I looked up Waugh himself, I found a similar situation:
“Second marriage
On his conversion, Waugh had accepted that he would be unable to remarry while Evelyn Gardner was alive. However, he wanted a wife and children, and in October 1933, he began proceedings for the annulment of the marriage on the grounds of “lack of real consent”. The case was heard by an ecclesiastical tribunal in London, but a delay in the submission of the papers to Rome meant that the annulment was not granted until 4 July 1936.[100] In the meantime, following their initial encounter in Portofino, Waugh had fallen in love with Laura Herbert.[101] He proposed marriage, by letter, in spring 1936.[102] There were initial misgivings from the Herberts, an aristocratic Catholic family; as a further complication, Laura Herbert was a cousin of Evelyn Gardner.[26] Despite some family hostility the marriage took place on 17 April 1937 at the Church of the Assumption in Warwick Street, London.[103]”.
So, ‘lack of real consent’ as an excuse for an adult to rescind their marriage in order to marry someone else? I guess we could all say that. ‘Didn’t know how s/he was going to turn out, so didn’t truly consent’. OK.
Note the incredible cunning of Waugh: He gave poor Ber the most fusty name imaginable. This was red meat thrown to the secular dogs. Of course they were going to slaver all over it. If he wanted people to see the spiritual beauty of Beryl, why did he give her the name Muspratt? Dickens came up with names like this for his horrible, hypocrite villains. Did he do it to make money? Or to test the people?
Thank you for taking on Groundhog. I wash my hands of him.
So Julia’s orgasms are torturing Jesus? I’ve got a question. Why can’t Jesus mind his own business? If Julia’s doings are torturing him why doesn’t Jesus just stop with his weird porn watching? What rule in the universe commands God to focus in on her private life? If her doings make him mad whose fault is it? God’s fault or Julia’s fault?
But unfortunately the author mentions Matthew 19. Jesus here suggests its fine to be a eunuch for the sake of the kingdom. How about it Jarek? Put up or shut up. Cut your balls off for Jesus! Show us you mean business.
“So Julia’s orgasms are torturing Jesus? ”
I presume you aren’t addressing me, as don’t recall suggesting or mentioning such a thing. The idea is new to me and I don’t have an opinion on it.
“What rule in the universe commands God to focus in on her private life? ”
What a weird question. If God created the universe, who in the universe would you be expecting to be able to command Him to do or not do anything?
I’m not trying to convert you to anything, BTW. I have never converted anyone. I presume the reason nobody has ever become a Christian because of me when they have because of other people is that I’m a bit of a rubbish example. I just think you should try to be logical within either your own world view or the one you are attempting to critique.
@ GreenAlba I was addressing Jarek, not you. Jarek has just posted some writings of the most outrageous and crazy religious delusions I’ve ever encountered. Yes, Julia’s orgasms are making Jesus/God very upset. And this justifies God torturing himself and offering himself to himself as a blood sacrifice done to appease God’s wrath. God has a serious anger management problem. God creates humans to be horny and punishes them for it. And so on and so on. Here’s the part snipped out of Jarek’s post I was commenting on.
” Thus, she could never consent to being a guest in the home of a woman – even her own sister-in-law – whom she knows to be Living in Sin, because to do so would ratify the sin itself, ratify the torture and murder of God Himself, and also REDUCE the likelihood that Julia (and Charles) would repent, correct their situation, and die confessed and in a state of grace, be that five minutes hence, or five decades. Beryl cannot coerce Julia or anyone else to love God, but she can and rightly does apply medicinal shame to Julia in the hopes that the pain of that shame might lead Julia to stop torturing and killing Christ, and thus utterly rejecting His Love in favor of having orgasms with a cute guy, and in so doing, damning herself to hell.”
Yup! Julia has been torturing and killing God! The horror! Poor God! He doesn’t deserve this does he?
I admit it is kind of extreme. God is beyond this kind of thing or He/She/It wouldn’t be God. Ann loves this shit. She is often very profound but her fanaticism gets in the way here.
A calmer man (Buddha) said much the same in a simpler way: Fear and shame are the guardians of the world.
Jesus (God the Son) may feel human things though. She may not be completely wrong. I’ve had experiences of this that are difficult to explain.

In what world would this be ok? What sane American patriot is alright with this?
Alas, many if not most American patriots are not sane, or at least not smart or well informed.
In a world of PR and social media bullshit, that is what.
I agree with you on this, I wish Israel would just get about its mission and quit this political bullshit this shows. if they want to stop the college idiots from calling them names, why don’t they assassinate Soros and his son and do us in America a favor. Without Soros backing, these idiotic “protests” would just dry up. I wonder how much activity would occur if there was no Soros to aggravate it.
Okay, Jarek, there are millions of Jews in the world. Exactly what would you suggest the world, say the UN, do with all these folks? Genocide? Drive them into the sea?
How’s about simply ceasing to finance them and simply have them look after themselves (like everyone else)?
Why are the millions of Jews in the world the US taxpayers’ responsibility?
Because DC is occupied by AIPAC/ADL. That’s why. We all know that, JAZ.
Hey Canadian how about minding your own business and your own ridiculous countries massive, short comings.
Why are you picking out and on just one country aid package?
The better question is why is the US borrowing money to give to countries that hate us and want nothing to do with us?
Why are we still giving money to North Korea, Iran, China and Russia?
While we are at it lets stop giving money to Canada what do we get from that shithole of a country full of weirdos?
I just looked it up 32 million in 2022 for various ridiculous things like CANADIAN PRAIRIE POTHOLE & WESTERN BOREA?
Huh?
Thirty-two million to Canada!
That could have bought enough guns and bombs to take out all of Gaza.
190 million to Pakistan!
$1,389,022,901 to Afghanistan.
Speaking of Gaza and the west bank $1,389,022,901
HUH?
$1,700,660 TO Russia!
hahaahha North Korea $264.00 Bet lil rocketman is pissed about that.
Cuba got some serious coin! $6,808,674

It is not the UNs or anybody else’s burden to do anything “with all these folks”.
They will fulfill their calling, just like each of us is/ are doing.
Colonizing the sea is looking better.
Exactly. JAZ is constantly wringing his hands on what more the USA can do for Israel when clearly he should simply heed George Washington and mind his own bees wax.
Pure delight, watching Piers Morgan’s stupid mouth being reduced to silence as he’s educated about Ukraine by Jeffrey Sachs after doing his ‘but evil Putin’ routine.

Just superb. How is this clown still on TV anyway? We got rid of him to you guys for a while and you went and sent him back.
Send him to Canada this time.
Sure. Why not? We mainly just use our TVs for Hockey Night in Canada anyway.

“NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS — US authorities recently confirmed that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will finally get to end his 14-year long legal battle by accepting a plea deal which will include a complimentary flight home on a Boeing airplane, paid for by the US Department of Justice.“
One to watch.

Funny. There was an article or editorial in The Spectator Australia basically saying ‘Assange is free, but do we really want the vile, narcissitic traitor who put people’s lives at risk?’ etc.
I suspect he’s going to have Five Eyes all watching him intently while they think of a good way to make him have a heart attack or something.
Is there a place for him in the Trump Administration?
My Glit may be small but my regina is nowhere near the size of yours.
elmo: FYI – The Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers have a Canadian head coach and 13 Canadian players on their roster.
What are you saying? The whole team wanted out of Canada and into the USA? Did they get green cards?They decided not to be a bunch of Trudeau soy-boys? Surprising. They know what side of the bread is buttered.? Do they send our US dollars back to their relatives so they can put additions onto their igloos?
I’m sensing some animosity here.

In 2025, all draftable U.S. WOMEN will be force-vaccinated with deadly mRNA spike proteins by the Medical/Military Industrial Complex
naturalnews.com/2024-06-25-2025-all-draftable-us-women-force-vaccinated.html
There’s a lot more to the draft these days than just readying and sending soldiers into the meat grinders of the political mass-embezzlement schemes, a.k.a. the military industrial complex. Now Big Pharma has its teeth sunk in deep, and every military member drafted next year, including all “eligible” women, will surely face the wrath of the mRNA-Industrial Complex.
Did you know that 98 percent of all U.S. military forces, meaning the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard and National Guard, got the deadly Covid-19 “clot shot” mRNA spike protein “vaccines?” They sure did. Over 6.5 million experimental, untested, gene-and-cell-altering mRNA stabs were administered to U.S. military members, modifying their cells to produce endless protein prions that cause rubbery vascular clots, myocarditis, pericarditis, spontaneous abortions and turbo cancer.
In case you are unaware, mRNA DOES change your DNA. Your cells are permanently altered so they produce virus-mimicking spike prions forever, that flood the vascular system, strain the heart, invade organs, disrupt the immune system and clot in the brain. What better way to cripple America than to draft all military-aged humans, male or female, and force-vaccinate them with the most dangerous and deadly jab ever created on Earth.
***
With all those clots forming in all those brains, I can’t help but think of BB’s recent post: “I see stupidity advancing on all fronts – at blitzkrieg speed – these days.”
The National Defense Authorization Act for 2025 has a blueprint plan where all military-age women and men are involuntarily (by mandate) required to register for selective service (meat grinder duty) to help greedy politicians and globalists steal resources from other countries (think oil and opium), run guns (includes automatic weapons, tanks, jets, missiles and nuclear warheads), and embezzle trillions of dollars printed and collected from tax-paying, hard-working Americans.
Notice that America only defends (invades and occupies) territories that are bountiful with resources we can steal, otherwise, we couldn’t care less. Think Iraq, Afghanistan, Ukraine and now the Middle East. Meanwhile, the gender-fluid, devil-worshipping trannies will be in their high heels and heavy lipstick, prancing around the battlefield, wondering why their heart feels like it’s about to explode, and why there’s a weird green glow to their skin, food and surrounding soil. Can you say Chernobyl without coughing into your rainbow-colored face diaper?
Oh boy, OG, the re-institution of the draft will be suicide for the standing Deep State. IMHO, the loss of recruits that is going on is a barometer on the level of patriotism in the USA. These asshats in DC think they can just roll over the people in perpetuity. Is this loss of confidence by the youth an indicator of the de-Americanation of AmeriKa.
De-Americanation? Nice word.
It’s not going to stop at the US. It will happen everywhere. They just have to be careful how they do it in different countries. George Galloway (recently elected to the House of Commons) has predicted that, if Keir Starmer is the next PM, which he will be, the UK will be at war with Russia within 6 months. Openly, that is, because, according to the Russians and common sense, we already are, along with the US, France, Germany and Poland. And no politician anywhere has consulted any citizens, as far as I’ve noticed. It’s quite incredible really. All of a sudden, people don’t even really expect to be consulted about anything, even a nuclear war.
“Today, it is dislike for Jews, whether middle eastern or otherwise…So call it what you will, antisemitic, Anti-Jewish or Anti-Zionist, it is hate for a sector of the world’s society that has prevailed through the ages under the banner of a God. All the Jew haters…”
Dislike is not hate and like is not love. Instead of calling it what you will, let’s start calling it what it is.
Bigotry.
Do you want to go with etymology or just make something up [ compare it to something ].
No bigotry seems a suitable definition.
plural big·ot·ries. stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one’s own. Synonyms: narrow-mindedness, discrimination, bias. the actions, beliefs, prejudices, etc., of a bigot.
strong, unreasonable ideas, esp. about race or religion:
In fact, I believe this is a natural human condition.
Opposing the war crimes of blowing tens of thousands of innocent women and children to bits while dislocating and starving over 2,000,000 souls in collective punishment (and conquest) all justified by a false flag operation is not unreasonable.
Might be time for the idiots in Gaza to put better people into power with a different mission.
Say developing industry, tourism, food production, energy production and putting together an actual country instead of a violent welfare state.

None of them will comment on the actual video I posted where the Rabbi talks about killing all of them as per the Old Testament. Instead they go into defensive mode – and the best defense is a good offense.
I think we can assume that Christ rejected this part of the Torah (the first six books of what we call the Old Testament). Following in His footsteps, we reject that part of our patrimony.
Yet another Democrat failure incoming.
The last time this happened was under the inept hand of Obama.
Time for a government shutdown for a couple of weeks to get people’s heads on straight regarding spending.
Debt Ceiling Standoff Could Trigger US Rating Downgrade, TD’s Goldberg Says
A potential debt ceiling standoff in the United States next year could be one of the worst since the 2011 crisis, which may trigger another sovereign credit rating downgrade, said Gennadiy Goldberg, the head of U.S. rates strategy at TD Securities.
Congress has suspended the debt ceiling until Jan. 1, 2025, even as worries over rising U.S. debt were fueled earlier this week when the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecast a jump in the deficit to $1.915 trillion for fiscal 2024 and $1.938 trillion for 2025.
“I certainly worry about debt sustainability. The path of U.S. deficits is highly unsustainable,” Gennadiy Goldberg told the Reuters Global Markets Forum (GMF).
“We’ll get the first whiff of politicians starting to come under a bit of pressure when the U.S. credit rating is downgraded again … possibly as soon as next year.”
S&P downgraded its U.S. credit rating for the first time in history during the 2011 debt ceiling crisis, which prompted the passage of the Budget Control Act of 2011 to cut spending and identify deficit reduction measures.
Goldberg said there was a risk that S&P will downgrade its U.S. sovereign rating by another notch, this time from AA+ to AA.
Last year, Fitch downgraded its U.S. long-term credit ratings, and Moody’s lowered its outlook to ‘negative’ from ‘stable’ signaling an increased risk of a downgrade.
The 5-year credit default swaps (CDS) on U.S. sovereign debt indicate some worry, Goldberg said, as spreads have not receded to the levels they were at the past few years.
The convexity-adjusted spread on the 5-year CDS, one of the most-traded contracts during crises, is at around 40 basis points this month, almost double the past five-year average, data from HIS Markit showed.
Still, some market participants see a limited impact from a sovereign rating downgrade due to lack of suitable alternatives to high-quality liquid assets such as U.S. Treasury securities.
“Curiously, the term premium in the U.S. hasn’t materially increased in recent months, suggesting the demand for U.S. debt remains quite strong,” Goldberg said.
You mentioned CDOs. It was CDOs that led to 2008 when finally people realized how flimsy they were, that instead of top rated mortgages, they were backed by junk.
How about US Treasuries, Junk? China is cashing in or selling, Japan and Saudi Arabia are joining in, The creditors are noticing the junk status of the foundation of the dollar.
AS I have said before, the bullion banks are loaded with US treasuries in lieu of gold right now. IOW, the world does not know what its wealth is based on, gold or junk.
This is not just dangerous for the US, it is going to take down the world.
JHK talks about the conversion of the US economy from real wealth, goods and services, to financial products which are basically paper. We have actually graduated to wealth being measured as bytes in a computer somewhere out there.
I think, what is the house of cards really came down, how much of this faux wealth would be tradeable? I believe the US wealth is divided into three sectors today, crime assets, finance and a little bit of manufacturing, with the first two being most of it. Oh yeah, I forgot running the fiat presses and increasing “source” of wealth. As the debt load increases, interest will increase and the wealth will be consumed into crime and fiat as finance loses its precarious footing and manufacturing continues its decline.
This is coming no matter who wins in November. As you mentioned, most of the “spending” is already locked in, the fiat presses will run continuously trying to keep up. The debt crunches are a DC joke, running the presses is going to increase drastically trying to serve the debt. The future is pre-ordained.The demand for US debt remains strong because folks have no choice. When people lose their faith in the bullshit leadership in the country, and the leadership of the world, the whole thing is coming down.
First order, folks, get out of debt.
It doesn’t matter we are all in debt to the tune of over 100k a piece.
Might be time to run all of them cards right on up buy everything your heart desires that they won’t repossess and file bankruptcy.
To be truthful I have two car notes that are almost paid off and no other debt to speak of.
2007-2008 was also the years the banking industry was looked at and fined heavily for laundering billions in cartel funding.
Fined millions for laundering billions but it was part of the great bank debacle.
“It doesn’t matter we are all in debt to the tune of over 100k a piece.”
Good thinking. I mean: what could possibly go wrong?
You know, a big question is what does happen to Joe Average when the string runs out on the Deep State? I do not owe Anyone 100000 dollars in the name of the idiots in DC. Someone comes looking for that money from me and my wife, you may have a new neighbor, OG.
“It doesn’t matter we are all in debt to the tune of over 100k a piece.”
Good thinking. I mean: what could possibly go wrong?
———————–
What goes wrong is at some point people stop loaning us money. Period. End of discussion.
For example, China will say, “we’ll sell you shoes and clothing, but we cannot finance it anymore. We will need something else besides dollars for conducting trades. We can’t use the dollars for purchasing anything we need. We prefer to trade for gold, oil, wheat etc. We can use gold and wheat. We’ve got no use for dollars.
What goes wrong is before long people posting in CFN are distracted because they have no shoes or underwear. They have been going barefoot or wrapping rags around their feet in order to get around. There is whining and gnashing of teeth because Asians have no wish to work for us for free anymore.
Historically people turned to hard assets to hedge against inflationary times.
Gold right now is at an all-time high.
People who can’t afford to buy an ounce at a time are now turning to pay dirt services.
They bury a fixed amount of gold in sand and sell them to you to pan out.
prospectinggear.com/collections/indiana-paydirt-company
On the front end it seems like a bad investment but two or three years down the road I can tell you I have made a steady profit from some pay dirt buys mixed with what I have actually found.
When I started looking at all this gold was $600 an ounce now its $2300 an ounce.
Best investment I have made and held on to.
Now if only I had held on to my Nvidia and AMD stock I bought at around $3 each.
Silver is far more affordable ($28.75/oz) and has far more upside than does gold, imho.
Silver is nice but it takes a lot of it to amount to a decent stash.
It has also moved but nowhere near as much as gold.
“People who can’t afford to buy an ounce at a time …”
You constantly argue against yourself, benr.
And, you’re wrong to boot. Silver has outperformed gold:
6 months: 18.8% to 11.6%
1 year: 26.3% to 21.1%
5 years: 89.9% to 64.4%
goldprice.org
Okay, guys, I will take lots of both.
Maybe it is more fun the “bathe” in lots of silver than the more wealth per ounce gold.
If you have a huge safe, then silver is a great option.
Buy them both.
Mensa boy wants so badly to say someone is wrong since he is always wrong himself.
Congrats when comparing something under $30 dollars to something that is thousands of dollars a small move up is of course far more of a move percentage wise.
Silver has never been $600 an ounce if it ever gets there I can retire unless a loaf of bread is $300.
If that is the case lead will be worth FAR more for obtaining food and other assorted items.
Og is right as per the question. Ben counters by making a different point: Convenience or portability.
The Shaw brothers fled to Hong Kong to escape the Communists. They buried their gold and got out of there. They worked in a restaurant there until things quieted down a bit. One foggy night they rowed back and retrieved the gold. No more restaurant work. Opened their martial arts movie studio to make really big money.
@jarek
What good is a money source it takes a forklift to move?
What simple Simon missed was that gold can be bought in small amounts often as low as $20 dollars and collected over time.
A small vial of flour gold is worth a lot of money.
Flip side buying gold or silver from actual brokers is expensive and big government knows about every transaction.
So, what he called arguing against myself was me letting people in on a little secret gold can be bought from reputable people who dig it out of the ground and sell it in its natural state in a form called pay dirt.
They add the gold to their own concentrates or workings.
Sluiceboy products can be bought off Amazon for a decent price.
sluiceboyprospecting.com
The simple fact China is buying everything they can get their hands on.
I have seen many of these pay dirt suppliers running dry.
I didn’t miss a thing, benr. You claimed: “[Silver] has also moved but nowhere near as much as gold.”
You were wrong and I merely proved that the exact opposite is true: silver has outperformed gold over the past 6 months, the past year and the past 5 years.
Instead of simply standing corrected (like a man), however, you then went into some weird pay-dirt tap-dance.
You argue like a chick.
Gold right now is at an all-time high.
adjust for inflation and it should be 20k/ ounce. not 2k.
It will be 20k an ounce in the next decade.
Yes & no, benr. Gold may indeed be a 10-bagger from here … but the US$ will likely not exist in the next decade.
Not at all stupid.
I was saying for those that think they can’t afford gold there are other ways to get it.
You started the silver trend not me.
I’m not bashing on silver but your earning per dollar spent are far lower at least for now. To make any money on it you need to buy so much more and then have somewhere to store it.
By all means buy it and hold it if the shtf silver is nice for bartering and it has other uses beyond money.
I was also dealing in 20 year charts where Gold is the clear winner up almost 500% Silver not being a slouch either up 300%.
As far as the US not being here in a decade….Canada will go before the US.
I wonder what is going to happen when Ukraine and Israel realize the USA is running out of “bullets” to send them. What is going to happen in Asia when China realizes the same?
BRICS++++++ is growing like a weed, licking its chops, anticipating the end of American supremacy. Latest, Venezuela.
Saw a report on who the USA wants to forward as the next world cop superpower when it goes down. This was a surprise. India was number one. Another fantasy. IMHO, there will not be another world cop as the world declines. No one will want the job and chaos will ensue.
Actually, I would favor India stepping up as they are the perfect foil against China.
Ummm … chaos is ensuing now with the USA’s self-appointed world cop role, JAZ.
The definition of “insanity” is repeating the same action over and over again while expecting a different result.
Yup, agreed. Remember though, OG, that there are two schools of thought here. The Deep State is an anomaly based on power and only currently represents 50% of the population, the dependent half.
Venezuela plays Mexico (El Tri) tonight at SoFi Stadium. They are leading group B with three points respectively.
Copa America
Venezuela has the MOST oil.
yet people there are often poor.
Its heavy Sulphur laden oil and they are too inept to actually get it out of the ground without a lot of help.
In fact, they are not capable of keep the oil rigs functioning and they are failing into disrepair literally rusting into oblivion
Turn the clock back to the mid/upper 1800’s and we had easy oil underground in Pa. It was so easy that it was accessible using rather primitive drilling technology and wooden drilling towers and platforms. When they hit a good spot the oil would geyser up out of the ground, blowing up and out high in the air and coming down like black rain on the happy drillers. But the easy stuff is gone. No more gushers in Pa. What’s left needs fracking, water/steam injection etc., highly technical methods are probably required for heavy sulfur oil production. It’s the valuable petroleum needed for making diesel fuel and bunker fuel for big ships etc. Sometime a day will arrive when the USA has an energy crisis and motor fuels will be strictly rationed and controlled, destroying our car culture way of living.
But not today Satan.
Look at this a D
Look at this a Democrat actually beiong held accountable for once.
Well we will see.
Hopefully she gets the book thrown at her.
Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao has denied any wrongdoing and even went as far as to suggest that the recent FBI raid on her home was due to “right-wing” efforts in an organized conspiracy against her.
Four days after the FBI raided Thao’s (D-Calif.) residence, the mayor read a prepared statement and took no questions.
“I want to know what probable cause the FBI has. What evidence have they collected that justifies raiding the home of a sitting mayor without notice and without the courtesy of a conversation?” she asked. “I want to know more about the handful of billionaires from San Francisco and Piedmont who are hellbent on running me out of office. I want to know why the day following the qualification of a recall election funded by some of the richest people in the Bay Area seemed like the right day to execute a warrant. I want to know how the TV cameras knew to show up on my sleepy residential street so early in the morning to capture footage of the raid. And I want to know why Fox News and Breibart were so prepared to fan the flames and to tell a story that they want to tell—to bend the facts to shape a narrative.”
The mayor added that: “this wouldn’t have gone down the way it did if I was rich, if I had gone to elite private schools, or if I had come from money.” However, according to multiple outlets, including The Super Slice who wrote about Thao on June 21st, Thao’s net worth is well over 1 million and she’s currently the fourth highest paid mayor in California.
She continued in her public statement.
“There are a lot of radical right-wing forces who know they will never win an election in Oakland, fair and square… They have built the rules to protect and preserve their power and maintain dominance over the rest of us.”
Mayor Thao and her son were reportedly at home on Thursday morning when the sudden raid occurred.
An affluent CEO named David Duong and his son Andy are the owners of the other two residences that were searched on Thursday in relation to alleged corruption in Oakland.
“Duong heads California Waste Solutions (Cal Waste), Oakland’s curbside recycling contractor. He’s also the co-chair of the Vietnamese American Business Association (VABA). According to CBS News, in addition to the residences, federal agents served warrants at offices shared by Cal Waste and VABA on Thursday,” the organization California City News reported.
Regarding the raids, the FBI has remained silent. But according to Reina Webb, Thao’s former chief of staff, she was interviewed by federal agents and she could tell they were looking into a possible pay-to-play scheme of some sort. In 2022, Webb announced her resignation, citing unethical behavior by both Thao and her partner, Andre Jones.
Furthermore, the CBS I-Team was informed by Oakland’s Public Ethics Commission’s lead investigator that the Duongs remain under investigation for possible money laundering.
“Court documents we’ve reviewed allege that Andy Duong arranged contributions to candidates, including Sheng Thao, using straw donors,” CBS stated. “Some of the phony donors allegedly came from Phuc Tran, President of the Vietnamese Chamber of Commerce. In response, Phuc Tran said he wouldn’t cooperate in the investigation based on his Fifth Amendment right ‘to be free from being compelled to incriminate himself.’”
In 2021, Cal Waste and Oakland reached a settlement over claims that the company had overcharged its customers by up to 550%.
Another major focus is purportedly on Thao’s VABA-sponsored trip to Vietnam in 2023. Actor Danny Glover, Oakland Port Commissioner Danny Wan, Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez, San Leandro City Manager Bryan Azevedo, and Supervisor Lena Tam of Alameda County had also attended.
North Korea sends ‘cannon fodder’ troops to Ukraine in support of Russia’s invasion
North Korea is gearing up to dispatch military units to Ukraine in a move that could dangerously heighten the conflict’s intensity.
In a historic visit last week, Putin journeyed to North Korea (despite many believing it was a body double) for the first time in nearly a quarter of a century.
During this landmark trip, Putin and Kim Jong Un inked a defence agreement on June 19 in Pyongyang, vowing mutual military support.
Shortly after the pact was sealed, North Korea declared its intention to send military engineers to aid Russian forces in Ukraine’s Donetsk region.
Expected to land in Ukraine as early as next month, the North Korean contingent’s arrival signals a worrying shift towards direct involvement in the hostilities.
Already a supplier of munitions and missiles to Russia, North Korea has reportedly delivered up to 1.6 million artillery rounds to Russian troops.
A Pentagon spokesperson has starkly criticized the planned deployment of North Korean soldiers, suggesting they are being led to their doom.
Pentagon’s Pat Ryder expressed his skepticism to the press, stating: “I think that if I were North Korean military personnel management, I would be questioning my choices on sending my forces to be cannon fodder in an illegal war against Ukraine.”
He further emphasized that the US will keep a close eye on the growing military collaboration between North Korea and Russia.
The military pact between Putin and Kim Jong-un has been revealed, stating: “In case any one of the two sides is put in a state of war by an armed invasion from an individual state or several states, the other side shall provide military and other assistance with all means in its possession without delay.”
A former Russian lawmaker has shed light on North Korea’s pivotal role as a conduit for military support to Russia, skirting Western sanctions. Speaking to the Express, Ilya Ponomarev said: “North Korea is one of key Russian partners and the meaning of the rationale behind them becoming such a partner is because they are acting as a bridge between China and Russia.”
He further detailed: “Essentially all this military equipment that is supposed to be delivered from North Korea once was developed for North Koreans by the Chinese.”
Ponomarev highlighted Beijing’s strategy to avoid US sanctions: “China is cautious not to get under secondary sanctions by the United States, but North Korea is not in danger.”
He concluded by explaining the mutual benefits for China and North Korea: “So there is no problem for Chinese to assist North Koreans and then North Koreans to make trade with Russia and benefit from this both financially and in terms of military development.”
I can see the slogan,
Asia for Asians being adopted by BRICS+++++.
I laugh at the deep State sanctions. The arrogance of the Deep State is unbelievable, to think they can hurt the folks that are destroying their hegemony. Russia has done nothing but get stronger since leaving Europe behind in favor of Asia.
I really believe their heart is not really in it. How soon before Europe tells the USA to take NATO and shove it?
Europe’s energy future is not silly windfarms or the US, it is the Caspian Sea.
You got that right, JAZ.
“It’s all so unfair! The people that I’ve been beating up for decades are now ganging up on me!”
A worthy question one no one as of yet has bothered to answer.
These sinister ‘pro-Palestinian’ protests are a warning to us all
It is now over two weeks since the terrorists of Hamas were offered a ceasefire which would end the war in Gaza.
According to US secretary of state Antony Blinken, the terms of the deal had been approved by Israel’s war cabinet and the governments of Egypt and Qatar, who acted as mediators. Yet the proposal has not been accepted by Yahya Sinwar and his partners in terror.
The leadership of Hamas do not care about the lives of ordinary Palestinians. For them, casualties of war are a price worth paying for their genocidal aims. Hamas wants to maintain its military capability at all costs so that it can attempt to kill more Jews in the future. An interview this month with Hamas representative in Lebanon Ahmad Abd Al-Hadi should leave no one in doubt of this. “We would do it again,” he declared to the Annahar newspaper. In other words, if given the chance, Hamas would repeat the rape, kidnapping and slaughter of October 7.
?Murderous ambition is what we must expect of Hamas, but what of others? What of all the people in Western countries who have expressed such anger about the war in Gaza and who have placed huge pressure on Israel to end it? Why now is there no popular protest against Hamas to do the very same thing?
If people cared so much about innocent Palestinians caught up in the fighting, why are there not tens of thousands on the streets of London every Saturday demanding that Hamas accept the ceasefire? As yet, I have seen no marches organised for this purpose, nor have I seen any university campus protests demanding that the terrorists agree terms to end the war.
At book festivals, writers felt so strongly about links to Israel that organisers were forced to terminate their relationships with sponsors. I have not noticed any of these writers now putting pressure on Hamas to accept the ceasefire. This, it seems, is a less worthy use of their influence.
The same is true of a multitude of celebrities on social media. I am confident that the majority of those who have attacked Israel online in recent months have said nothing about the terrorists of Hamas. I have not seen any popular hashtags calling for Hamas to agree to the ceasefire that would end the war. I have not seen the masses on TikTok mobilised against Sinwar and his backers in Iran.
We should expect more of the same at the Glastonbury music festival. A number of artists will surely take the opportunity of their live televised performance on the BBC to condemn Israel and speak up for the rights of Palestinians. It is a terrible shame they do not realise that the best way to protect the civilians of Gaza is to pressure Hamas to stop the war and that the only way to “Free Palestine” is to end the tyranny and prejudice of its murderous government.
The world feels upside down. Why is it that a democratic state that was the victim of the worst massacre in its history faces all the protest, all the opprobrium, all the demands to end the war, but the terrorist organisation which started it faces none?
There is something so perverse about this that it should act as a warning to us all. It is not just that terrorists are avoiding responsibility for their crimes. What we are seeing is the growth of a movement, particularly among younger people, that seeks to de-legitimise the state of Israel. No other democratic country faces this kind of challenge to its right to exist. It is time for more people to speak up for Israel and understand that the threat it faces is not just at its borders but to the very right of Jewish people to have a homeland.
Poor Bibi. You go and slaughter a few tens of thousands of innocent women and children and then it seems like the whole world is against you!
No just the idiots.
Does it hurt to be so stupid?
You tell me does your head hurt when you tie your shoes and chew bubble gum?
Hey, you all, name calling is pretty stupid and denotes less intelligence, not more.
And, I do not believe Bibi gives one damn about world opinion, or yours.
He is trying to figure out how to stop the Arab threat once and for all. Anyone who gets in the way is going to get clobbered.
@jaz
Sometimes people deserve to be called names and occasionally get one of their eyes dotted.
It’s how the real-world works.
JAZ: I call benr “stupid” not because of my lack of intelligence but, rather, out of frustration at his lack of intelligence.
Having said that, you’re right. I will try to do better.

benr: Is that a threat? Did you just threaten my life on CFN?

What are you an imbecile oh wait rhetorical question.
Along with a cross of a t.

You really are a brick.
Ah .. you mean a dot on the I (not eye). I misunderstood you on account of your stupid mistake.
I was picturing the dot of a laser-scope rifle on my eye.

Nothing to do with rifles or weapons.

I explained it already, dipshit. It is dot the is and cross the ts. Not dot the eyes, you dope. I misunderstood what you were saying on account of your mistake. Own up to it like a man instead brain-farting all over CFN like a chick.
Dotting eyes has several meanings.
The other form is what happens to loud mouths in bars.
Might be time for the idiots in Gaza to put better people into power with a different mission.
Say developing industry, tourism, food production, energy production and putting together an actual country instead of a violent welfare state.
Never going to happen, Benr.
The Muslim mind does not work that way, they are not Western in thought.
I carpooled with a Pakistan guy for three years and got a good picture of what makes them tick. He declared over and over that the Arabs will never stop coming back over and over every time Israel knocks them down, they are already planning the next attack.
The only way things will stop is when Israel stomps them down and keeps them down.
If that means River to sea, sobe it.

Bowman got beat. The situation in Gaza is wrapping up, Israel is going to turn its attention to Hezbollah. All the ‘Innocent civilians” that hide the terrorists are going to get clobbered in Lebanon. Israel will not stop this time until the rocket, drone and missile threats are neutralized and then monitored in the future.
How Iran and Egypt react to this is going to be interesting.
IMHO, the Middle East respects strength above all, all the sword flexing will be curtailed when Israel clobbers Hezbollah, “once and for all”
The real conundrum now is how is Israel going to force the defeated areas to never re-arm. Killing all the terrorists right now is not the end, backfilling Islam nuts will fill the vacuum quickly.
Ceasefires are a joke and will never be an end to the conflict. Ceasefires have worked so well since 1948, actually since about 1200 amongst the various factions in the Middle East.
I see only one solution that MIGHT be permanent, annexation of the areas by Israel and absorption of the remaining population into the Israeli nation.
Anything less. IMHO, will just lead to the next war.
That should cause lots of consternation among all the milquetoast of the world, but Bibi does not care. Currently the people of Israel support him by 80%. The hidden current of the Middle East is the desire of the well developed nations to make peace with Israel. From now on, Israel faces BRICS+++++ not just Iran. They are not worried.

Oops. Five to go.

Something about getting government funding then turning around and giving to only one-party smacks as extra wrong.
Between 2019-2021, Planned Parenthood performed 1.11 million abortions while receiving approximately $1.78 billion in federal funding. This is an average of $592 million every year.
Planned Parenthood to Spend $40 Million to Support Democrats in 2024 Election Cycle
The spending is to ‘defend abortion access and get out the vote,’ Planned Parenthood said.
Planned Parenthood will spend $40 million on campaigns to re-elect President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats, the pro-abortion advocacy nonprofit has announced.
Abortion will be “the most important issue” for 12 percent of voters, according to a March poll conducted by KKF, a health policy research institute formerly known as the Kaiser Family Foundation.
“Half of voters say they think the elections for president, Congress, and state legislatures will have a ’major impact’ on access to abortion, rising to two-thirds of Democratic voters and seven in 10 voters who say abortion is their most important voting issue,” the survey reported.
Planned Parenthood said in a post on X that it is spending the money to “defend abortion access and get out the vote.”
The organization said “Trump’s Supreme Court” removed the federal right to abortion when it overturned Roe V. Wade two years ago.
Former President Donald Trump appointed three conservative justices during his administration: Justices Amy Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh, and Neil Gorsuch. In June 2022 the court gave abortion access authority back to the states.
Planned Parenthood said that 21 states have either enacted complete or partial bans on abortion since the Supreme Court decision, which the organization says affects 43 percent of women.
Pro-Life Group Invests $92 Million in 2024
Pro-life groups, however, continue to express their support for the ruling.
SBA Pro-Life America issued a press release on the same day as Planned Parenthood’s announcement, praising the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a decision that has saved approximately 200,902 lives, the organization said.
SBA Pro-Life America’s president, Marjorie Dannenfelser, warned that “we are just one election cycle away from having every gain for life ripped away.”
Earlier this year, the pro-life advocacy group partnered with PAC Women Speak Out on a $92 million canvassing strategy targeting 10 million voters in the eight battleground states which include North Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania.
Ms. Dannenfelser said the canvassing effort is to garner support for pro-life candidates who are unambiguous about where they stand with late-term abortion and show compassion for women facing unplanned pregnancies.
“This election cycle will be our largest ground game yet as we will focus on key battleground states to win a pro-life Senate and elect a National Defender of Life as president.” she said. “We will take no voter for granted, whether they are pro-life and don’t vote consistently or can be persuaded to vote pro-life,” she added.
1.11 million abortions now here are numbers worthy of the term Genocide.
Almost 2 billion spent.
How many are repeat customers?
Might be much cheaper to hand out tube ties after the second one.
Hey, good idea. It has been floated around to castrate serial rapists, maybe women that have had two abortions should have their tubes tied as a condition for the surgery. Mandatory.

Why do you worry so much about a group of people that would saw your head off and or throw you off a building?
A group of people who literally teach their children to hate everyone including you.
UNWRA has been teaching Palestinian kids to hate and fight Israel for decades
How did seemingly innocuous United Nations summer camps for thousands of Palestinian children jump to the forefront of the horrific war in the Middle East?
The UN Relief and Works Agency provides summer camps for children of more than 5 million descendants of Arab evacuees of the 1948 war who live in 59 temporary refugee camps established in the wake of Israel’s War of Independence, which dislodged half a million Arabs, intentionally or unintentionally.
UNRWA established an elaborate school system that enables any journalist worth his salt to understand what the agency is teaching the next generation of Palestinian youth — who are instructed that they must adhere to the right of return, even by force of arms, to homes and villages their grandparents or great-grandparents left after 1948, though their villages are now Jewish communities in Israel.
UNRWA policy stands in contrast to the UN High Commission for Refugees policy for the rest of the world, which assures the next generation it won’t suffer the indignities of refugee-camp life.
As an independent journalist who wanted to communicate the Palestinian passion for war, I engaged Arab TV reporters to film summer camps in and around UNRWA schools in Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Jerusalem for the last 15 years.
You can see the footage at cfnepr.com/205640/Movies.
What the UNRWA summer camps preach is hardly a message of peace and reconciliation.
Instead, Palestinian children learn the art of guerrilla warfare.
These summer camps, financed by 67 nations, including America, through UNRWA donations, show fully armed children learning the art of kidnapping, throwing explosives, hijacking vehicles and invading Jewish collective farms.
They demonstrate a shocking prelude to the Oct. 7 incursion into 24 Jewish communities, when young Arab attackers gleefully applied the violent exercises they learned in UNRWA summer camps.
The youths’ UNRWA summer-camp experiences reinforced the violence taught in the Palestinian Authority school curriculum.
How did I get access to the textbooks?
To get the curriculum, I met with Yasser Arafat, founding chairman of the PA.
It’s hard for the Western mind to grasp how the PA leadership expresses pride for its lethal curriculum.
He readily authorized our news and research agency to review the PA school texts UNRWA uses.
We were granted access to more than 1,000 textbooks.
For 25 years, our office has evaluated PA textbooks, engaging professional translators Israeli and American intelligence could not access, unless, of course, they chose to stop by for a cup of coffee at our office in Jerusalem.
Palestinian Authority-issued school books used in PA schools, including UNRWA schools, feature scores of maps labeling all of Israel “Palestine.”
They praise terrorists, such as Dalal Mughrabi, who took part in a 1978 attack that killed 38 Israeli civilians, including 13 children.
They deny any historic Jewish presence in what is called Palestine and almost never advocate for peace and coexistence with Israel.
Thanks to online technology, you can peruse our translations of Palestinian Authority textbooks UNRWA uses via the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center’s online site.
Before Oct. 7, few people showed interest.
Collective punishment sqauck polly wanna cracker?
“The concentration camp people have bad maps and bad textbooks. Therefore, it is ok for us to go against Geneva and bomb the shit out of innocent women and children stuck there.”

Hey OG when your mamma was pregnant with you was, she really stressed out about something?
A new study reveals what might actually be wrong with you or was it just garden variety fetal alcohol syndrome?
Pregnant Women Distressed During Pandemic May Have Babies With Reduced Brain Volume
A new study finds that women pregnant during the pandemic were more likely to be distressed and anxious and give birth to babies with less white brain matter.
Pregnant women who were distressed during the COVID-19 pandemic are more likely to give birth to babies with smaller brain volumes, with the most significant reduction occurring in the left amygdala, a recent JAMA Network Open cross-sectional study found.
“These findings suggest that increases in maternal mental health symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic are associated with subsequent lower volumetric brain growth in newborn offspring,” the research team wrote in the study.
Women who were pregnant during the pandemic were more likely to report distress, which included stress, anxiety, and depression. These symptoms were then linked to babies being born with reduced cerebral white matter.
The authors speculated that such brain differences may affect children’s long-term development, including cognitive abilities, mental health, and behavior.
The brain’s gray matter integrates and processes information, enables sensory perception, facilitates decision-making, and more. White matter, on the other hand, is associated with brain connectivity and communication between brain regions. According to the study, alterations in white matter have been linked to anxiety disorders in adults.
Maternal Stress and Anxiety Affect Offspring
The authors analyzed data from 159 women and their infants born before or during the COVID-19 pandemic. Unsurprisingly, reports of distress among pregnant women more than doubled during the pandemic.
Upon studying magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of newborns’ brains, the researchers identified significant brain differences in children born before the COVID-19 pandemic versus during it. The authors attributed this difference to maternal stress.
“Intrauterine stressors have been shown to influence fetal brain development and affect how the child, once born, grows and develops,” the authors wrote. “Maternal psychological distress during pregnancy, including stress, anxiety, and depression, is recognized as one such stressor on early brain development.”
According to the authors, studies evaluating prepandemic pregnancy stress linked it to reduced left hippocampal volume in infants. The hippocampus is responsible for forming and storing memories.
Contrastingly, pregnancy stress during the pandemic was associated with “selectively stunted fetal cerebral white matter, hippocampal, and cerebellar growth.” The cerebellum facilitates movement and coordination.
The researchers emphasized the link between pregnancy stress and the reduced volume of newborn amygdalas. This area of the brain regulates anxiety and processes and reacts to threats.
They also found that babies whose mothers had occasional anxiety did not have smaller amygdalas. However, when fetuses were exposed to constant stress, their brains changed.
“Our data show a selective vulnerability of the left amygdala in the newborn infant exposed to elevated maternal stress and anxiety during pregnancy,” the authors wrote.
“Looking ahead, we want to use this information—and studies with similar findings—to empower pregnant mothers to request support to mitigate their stress, especially in the event of another global health crisis,” Dr. Nickie Andescavage, a principal investigator of the study, said in a news release. “We also want to make sure babies born during COVID-19 get the services that they need in life if they develop anxiety or other mental health disorders.”
Additional research is underway to further Dr. Andescavage’s work. Catherine Limperopoulos, director of the Center for Prenatal, Neonatal & Maternal Health Research, said that understanding the impact of stress is vital to supporting the healthy development of young children. Her center is currently studying the role of stress in prenatal development and how it can affect long-term development.
“We all know that being pregnant can be quite stressful, and there are certain times of collective stress that can provide us windows to understand how the body and mind manage it,” Ms. Limperopoulos said in the news release. “Our researchers plan to continue investigating the role of stress in development to continue building data to show that mental health must be a greater priority.”
I tested 154 IQ in the early 1980s, benr. You can accurately accuse me of much but being born stupid is not one of them.
There are many forms of intelligence. IQ only looks at one.
It is not common sense.
Agreed. In fact, a 154 IQ is uncommon sense by definition.
It’s definitely not all that it’s cracked up to be, that’s for sure. In fact, it can be quite lonely while all of the 100s and 120s play their little reindeer games.
IQ or “g” (general intelligence) is not Wisdom with common sense being the lower octave or beginning thereof. Indeed, there is no test for that except acting in accordance with those. Ditto creativity. No test except to create something.
Many very smart people don’t create anything and many are not wise or good.
Absolutely. Many high IQ people feel isolated and resort to substance abuse. I know it well.
OG,
Born not only with mental capacity, but with an enormous GLiT? I am envious.
But does that capacity get used?
Not like it used to, that’s for sure. I single-handedly built the premier equity research data acquisition and publishing system in Canada in 1992 and then again in 1999 and then again in 2014. Now I just follow geopolitical developments as the world goes to hell in a hand-basket.
Correction: I built it single-handedly in 1992 and 1999 but in collaboration with a colleague, Jonathan, on its third iteration in 2014.
Jonathan, a Brooklyn Jew, remains a good friend even now – nearly ten years after I left Bay Street.
btw, Jonathan, a Brooklyn Jew, is against Zionism.
Sure, you did.
I doubt you have an IQ over 90.
Right. I’m just lying because … ?
It’s what you do.
Actually no. In my personal life it is well known that I am far too honest for my own good.
I’m here to argue for truth. I’m here to argue with the truth. I can’t even imagine the point of lying on CFN. What for? I can’t even fathom a motive.
154 IQ? I also tested extremely high in the IQ test. My wife says I have no common sense. I agree with that. I was raised in a small town. She however grew up in an urban area. I am trusting. She is very suspicious of peoples motives. I am very detail oriented and but also crazy disorganized, I an fix mechanical things no problem. She is the opposite. 38 years later and we still click. I often finish her sentences for her because my brain is working ahead of hers. She makes the lasagna.
I know what you mean, elmo. I’m superior in logic but also far too trusting for my own good. Extremely high IQ can often be isolating.
As JAZ pointed out: high IQ is not common and, therefore, can lack common sense.
Wow, FrontHole, that’s impressive. Of course everyone is aware that Canada uses Special Olympics scoring for almost all societal measures (equity bitchez) so, not having the conversion tables handy, I think 154 roughly translates to about 80 in the standard measure.
But that’s neither here nor there. I wanted to be the first to congratulate you on being named to the Executive Board of Queers for Palestine. I’m sure your (adjusted) IQ factored in but I think your hysterical bleating over collective punishment™ (genocide ™?) probably was the deciding factor, maybe even more than your impressive collection of butt plugs.
Kudos to you and Free Palestine, etc., etc.
P.S. How’s your effort to bring a Pali family to live with you going? I would recommend Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh’s family. Apparently ten just bit the dust so it will be a little more manageable on your side.
Well, that was comedic.
During my stint in the Navy, they used to pass the uniform of the day on the 1mc it was so stupid we would always make fun of it.
One of the uniform items we would add in while this announcement was being made was a chrome plated anal plug and nipple rings. Not over the 1mc mind you that would have gotten you in some serious hot water back then.
Now…..
Flash forward twenty-five years and they are now finding wall mounting dildos in some of the NAVY heads the male one’s mind you.
I suspect that old uniform of the day joke might have some standing now.
Are you just going to keep saying “butt plug” over and over again until it’s finally funny?
Jarek nailed you last CFN, King of Fellatio. Bertrand Russel commented how people try to swap wit for wisdom. Laugh at the man opposed to war crimes and then the war criminals are right.

Gavin is its spiritual leader after Biden’s mob is gone. Or maybe the Mob is just going to switch to Newsom’s mob.
A huge question is, though, will the USA last long enough for Newsom to make his move? Or should he be trying to consolidate the West into a secession bloc?

Used to be very nice.
Now there are mountains of trash and homeless people everywhere.
About a year ago I was stuck at a light in Barrio logan where a homeless man had just crapped in a plastic bag and tied it off.
I watched him try and sling it over a barbed wire fence into an empty lot with hundreds of plastic bags most likely equally filled.
As he swung it over the barbed wire fence it got caught and swung back around hitting him full in the face and burst open covering him in his own foul leavings.
I was across the street at the light and could smell how awful it was.
I tried not to laugh but between the gag reflex I did manage to let out a chuckle.
That same trip I watched an “underage” teenage girl climb out of a tent be grabbed by an obvious black pimp and hand over the cash she had just made.

Speaking of world opinion… from the Babylon Bee:
EDMONTON — Following Canada’s loss of the Stanley Cup to America for the 31st time in a row, international authorities have confirmed that Canada will indeed lose its status as a recognized country, as Stanley Cup tradition demands.
Canadian sources have confirmed that countries across the globe are already in the process of withdrawing ambassadors and embassies from the former country, while NATO has already passed a motion withdrawing Canada from the organization.
“As much as it pains us to do this, we can simply no longer stand by and continue to pretend that Canada is a real nation,” commented Secretary-General of the United Nations António Guterres. “There’s no way that Canada — which is about 95% ice, I’m told — should be losing a game that’s played completely on ice to the American state of Florida, which has no ice whatsoever. It’s simply disgraceful. We can no longer allow this travesty to masquerade itself as a legitimate nation, and are therefore retracting Canada’s status as a recognized country, effective immediately.”
While most legislators are not quite sure what to do with Canada now, most Americans support declaring Canada a vassal state of Florida. Florida Governor DeSantis has publicly stated that he will only demand tribute from Canada every other year.
At publishing time, Norway, Spain, and Ireland had made world news by saying that they would still recognize Canada as a state “just like we did with Palestine.”
I wish that we would get out of crooked NATO.

Note: The Florida Panthers have a Canadian head coach and 13 Canadian players on its Stanley Cup-winning roster.
There are 7 NHL franchises in Canada (Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver). There are 25 NHL franchises in the USA. A Canadian franchise has not won the Stanley Cup since the Montreal Canadiens in 1993.
Today, 41.2% of NHL players are Canadian. That is an all-time low. Americans are second at 29.3%. It then drops off quickly. Sweden is 3rd (10.0%) followed by Russia (5.9%), Finland (4.8%) and Czechia (3.5%).
Hockey truly is an international game now. It is a wonderful gift from Canada to the world.
You’re welcome.
Hungary hops off “NATO Train,” calls West’s escalation of war in Ukraine “hopeless”
naturalnews.com/2024-06-26-hungary-ditching-nato-west-war-ukraine-hopeless.html
There is no way for the West’s war against Russia to reach victory, according to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban who in a recent interview called the situation “hopeless.”
The only thing that will be accomplished if the bombs continue flying is ever-greater death and destruction in both countries, Orban said. Even if the West is somehow able to achieve “success” at some point, the cost in blood and treasure will be so high as to render the mission a failure.
“The situation looks like the Western world wants to defeat Russia with the help of Germany under the leadership of the United States,” Orban said.
“I think it is hopeless. And even if we succeed, which is not at all realistic, we will have to pay such a high price that it will not be worth it.”
***
As I say, I wish that Canada would withdraw from NATO and its evil ways.
Though Canada refined the rules of hockey and brought it into its current iteration, England invented the game.
Hockey became a popular sport in the U.S. because refrigerated air conditioning and refrigeration to freeze the ice rinks made hockey games practical even in California, Texas and Florida. Biden’s upcoming regulations on refrigerants that will make refrigeration both much more costly AND much less energy efficient will likely be the end of that. The whole mantra of Biden and the Socialist Democrat scum is to make life as miserable and government-controlled as possible for every American, except for the Democrat scum elites.
The Supreme Court has sided with the Biden Regime on its censorship by social media company proxy. A lot of people are flipping out. And it is a terrible decision. Basically the majority opinion is that the plaintiffs didn’t have standing. Where have we heard that before? What does someone need to do exactly to have standing? Despite the weeping and gnashing of teeth this rogue and criminal regime would have defied any Supreme Court ruling anyway so in a sense its a moot point. Most of the discourse today is all movie pretend anyway because no real Constitution or rights exist anymore. Amy Con Barrett the happily wedded Catholic mother sided with the Biden Regime. Perhaps it would have been better for a promiscuous homewrecker to be on the court in her place who would have enjoyed blasting the regime with a blow torch of a legal ruling. But decorum and rules win, again.

How this woman got to be Minister of Justice remains a mystery for the ages. She looks like she’d struggle working at a supermarket checkout.
Thanks GA.
Hey last week I saw a guy in the local grocery store wearing a leather kilt I think it was. My wife was talking to him he said he was here from Scotland on a wee vacation. Do men wear those kilts around in Scotland for running every day errands? Or was he just trying to freak out the local yokels and rubes here.
I’ve never seen a leather kilt, brh. Sounds kinky! And how would you iron the pleats?!
Re normal kilts, you don’t see them in the street and definitely not in the supermarket, as a general rule UNLESS there’s an international football or rugby match on. My Anglo-Scottish nephew in England wears a kilt when he come up to Glasgow for a Rangers match, to nurture his Scottish side! Men routinely wear kilts and all the formal accoutrements to Scottish weddings and they look great, although they don’t work so well on weedy men!
So largely ceremonial, but including informal ceremonies like supporting your sports team! There are probably a few more around during the Festival here too.
A proper kilt is a very expensive item too. For weddings, men mostly hire their outfit, unless they own one because they wear it a lot.

How about this FF utility kilt, BRH. I actually toyed with the idea of getting one. Seems it would help cooling the ‘nads while in the grips of a “HEAT DOME” My wife laughed me right out of the room.

St E – that bloke (apart from being Asian, by the looks of him) is wearing trousers under his ‘kilt’. What’s that about?
Also, the pastel stripey thing is a bit girly, IMHO. But, overall, it looks a bit south Asian to me, rather than Scottish! Perhaps the target market is Glaswegian Pakistanis.
For example, China will say, “we’ll sell you shoes and clothing, but we cannot finance it anymore. We will need something else besides dollars for conducting trades. We can’t use the dollars for purchasing anything we need. We prefer to trade for gold, oil, wheat etc. We can use gold and wheat. We’ve got no use for dollars.
/ what about using dollars to buy oil etc?
Too crazy to engage with today lol? Fine. I can give you some pretty, shiny palm stones instead of dollars. The dollars stink and have bacteria and cocaine particles on them anyway.
yes but money is money……for now the greenback rules.
2025 maybe not.
CBDC…Bit con?
BRICS. Commodity-backed currencies that cannot be simply fabricated out of a Rothschild’s butt.
Oh, do you not trust crypto?
I don’t.
I believe crypto was the first installation of the mark of the beast cashless society.
It’s not even worth the non-paper its not printed on.
At least some of those useless currencies can be burned when it gets cold.
hmm I could see that. Getting people used to the digital control grid and digital money.
‘Where are we?’ cried Candide. ‘The children of the King must be well brought up, since they are taught to despise gold and precious stones.”
To the people in El Dorado, gold, rubies, and emeralds, were not precious stones. There was such an abundance of them that they weren’t even used as currency. Our “precious stones” were their pebbles, the gravel they lined their streets with! The children were simply playing with ‘rocks’ not realizing how valuable they were to people of different cultures. There’s another scene in that chapter where Candide tries to buy dinner using a bar of gold. The citizen of El Dorado laughs at him, giggling that Candide is trying to buy food using their gravel and rocks as currency.
When Candide and Cacambo leave El Dorado, they take a lot of the “gravel” with them. The people in the town think it’s so odd that these strange visitors want to take their gravel away. But hey, they’re only rocks, who needs ’em?
In our society today, we act the same way about things. We throw away what other cultures or peoples deem important. I guess it’s all relative.
Renaissance Forum
Give me your rocks lol. Yeah i do get it. Cultures value different things for exchange and trade. But now it seems like most cultures in the world use some kind of paper or printable currency. Ultimately i feel like you, that these things are relative and it is up to the consensus as to what is valuable.
To all those who responded to my anniversary post: Thank you very much..!

Mawtini – the unofficial Palestinian National Anthem.
Congrats when comparing something under $30 dollars to something that is thousands of dollars a small move up is of course far more of a move percentage wise.
– benr
Hmmm … but the percentage return what it’s all about, dipshit.
benr prefers lower investment returns because he wrongly invested more per ounce to begin with.
“You can’t fix stupid.”
Of course here, in the real world, investors understand that a $10,000 investment in gold in 2019 would be worth $16,437 today while a $10,000 investment in silver at the exact same time would be worth $18,989 today.
That is, you’d have $2,552 more if you invested the exact same amount of US$ in silver rather than gold 5 years ago … but benr would rather have $2,552 less and cry, “It’s not a fair comparison!”
“You can’t fix stupid.” Indeed.
***
Most stupid people know that they are stupid and are, therefore, mainly harmless. Some stupid people, however, fancy themselves smart. Those ones are dangerous.
Yes, amazing how some people claim to have high IQ’s but are life stupid and can’t cope with anyone calling them out on anything or ever admitting they are wrong.
Look in the mirror and seek help your pride and ego really is a failing point in life.
I own both silver and gold I have had little success finding silver, but I have been finding gold, so I stick with what is easiest for me to acquire.
Keep trying OG you might actually make a relevant point at some time in your miserable life.
That’s funny, benr. Here’s why:
“[Silver] has also moved but nowhere near as much as gold.”
– benr
Then I quantifiably proved that silver has indeed outperformed gold over 6 months, 1 year and 5 years!
Then: “Og is right as per the question. Ben counters by making a different point: Convenience or portability.”
– Jarek
Now, here’s the comedy:
You are now deriding me for “can’t cope with anyone calling them out on anything or ever admitting they are wrong.”
But I am right and it is actually you who can’t cope with me calling you out. It is you who can’t admit that you were wrong.
It is funny.
***
It was the same thing last CFN, benr. See:
kunstler.com/clusterfuck-nation/a-door-closes-a-window-opens/#comment-882712
“Biden did nothing anything [sic] sent to Israel was first approved by Congress. If you had any understanding of American government …”
– benr
“Wrong! Biden could have vetoed the $26 bil for Bibi-gun the Nutty Yahoo after your AIPAC-occupied Congress allocated it. Instead, Biden signed-off on it.”
– OG
You then, instead of simply admitting that you were wrong (which you 100% were) went into a weird tap dance about “Joe Biden” and how his Admin operates.
So, once again, it was you that was wrong but couldn’t cope with being called out on it and then refused to admit that you were wrong after it was proven beyond shadow of doubt.
It is funny.

“Interesting. I stand corrected. Thanks, BB. While I highly suspect that your acquaintance is a statistical outlier, I will no longer speak of this in absolute terms.”

You see? I do admit when I’m wrong. It just seems to you that I don’t because you’re all emotional and I’m so very rarely wrong.

Miserable life? Hardly. After almost a decade of unjust bullshit, I’m lovin’ it. My life is fantastic!
Yawn….
See above.
Of course. You are 100% proven wrong but not man enough to admit it.
“their seething hatred of the normal and the good”
You mean exponential population growth, exponential consumption per capita, exponential depletion of all remaining beyond-peak resources, exponential pollution of the land/air/water by carcinogenic hydrocarbons(micro plastics)/heavy metals/radioactive material, and exponential destruction of any ecosystem/infrastructure(think water/sewage/transportation/power) to be ‘harvested’? Sounds about right, on a finite planet…
“One is the question as to whether the government can use private company proxies to” *ILLEGALLY MONITOR* (think: Utah data storage center [runs off-cycles generating prime crypto])
“Probably the most galling part of the story is that virtually every act of censorship and de-platforming was committed against those telling the truth about some vital public issue”
“why is the US government so deeply invested in all that lying? The answer is obvious: it has been engaged in nefarious activities that it seeks to hide and deny.”
They just couldn’t let go of the Julian Assange issue (How’s good ‘ol Eddy Van Snowden doing, right about now?) – I mean, he published video showing EXACTLY the above – mass slaughter of ‘reporters’ there to ‘tell the truth.’

“Did you entertain feelings of doom during last week’s brain-withering heat-wave?”
I find that I keep on going back to the beginning!
Haha, we all have to be really honest here. It was ‘basically’ all over, in about 1920-1940 (WWI/WWII, when there were only 2 billion people [not 8.5/9], and consumption per capita was 3 orders of magnitude lower [10^3 – 1,000]). We’re just watching the ecocide spectacle unravel now, in slo-mo. I used to be at 3-5 maybe 7 yrs – now 1-3 maybe 5?!… Sure, there may be a couple decades more, for the ‘mole people’ (underground bunkers – what a miserable existence)…
The moles think that they will simply and giddily resurface once everyone else is dead. I would love to greet them opening up their little sewer main cover with a dart gun and a laugh. Psych, bitch! Ain’t nuthin gonna save you from justice! lol

A triumph of National Socialism. Did we even get there at all or was it all fake? Or as Mary put it, the Tru(wo)man show?
Mia@Mama_Mia
You want nationalism for your own country and
your own people? You’ll be referred to as a racist,
a terrorist, and a nazi.
You don’t support nationalism for Israel? You’ll
also be referred to as a racist, a terrorist, a nazi,
and an antisemite.
Christian nationalism = you’re a racist if you
support it.
Jewish nationalism = you’re a racist and an
antisemite if you DON’T support it.
You see how this works now?
Congress is actually passing bills that make it
illegal for Americans not to support Jewish
nationalism for Israel, while simultaneously
referring to Christian nationalism for America as
a “threat to democracy.”
That is a very good point.
Christian nationalism is an oxymoron. Christianity is a universalist religion and thus not really applicable for any national identity.
Huh? Are you saying that one country can’t be Christian unless/until all countries are Christian?
Christianity is supposed to be a religion for everyone. Anyone from anywhere in the world can be a Christian. So Christianity has nothing to do with one nation or any nation. It is certainly not a national identity. Thus there is no such thing as Christian nationalism.
I guess that we’ll have to agree to disagree on this one, SSL.
Italy, for example, has been a Christian country for centuries even while other countries were not.
While I agree that Christianity can and is a religion for everyone, people rejecting it for, say, Judaism in Israel, does not preclude Italy from being a Christian country.
It’s not really a disagreement. You don’t get what i’m saying. Italy can be a very Christian country. Nationalists in Italy are Italian nationalists not Christian nationalists. Christian is not an identity it a belief system.
But not everyone chooses to join – especially not the Jews. Traditionally, converting to Christianity meant ceasing to be considered a Jew in any sense while one could still be a Jew is a Buddhist, etc.
This may have loosened up a lot in the last few decades.
To be a Christian is part of one’s identity, just as one’s ethnicity, nationality, and race may be. America was a country for White Christians.
A Christian nation is one’s whose values come from Christianity and thus one’s laws as well.
Yes, it is true that Christianity is a part of traditional American identity. But it still needs qualifiers to make sense. For example, if I told you that some group were Christian nationalists it wouldn’t really give you any clues about their ethnicity or race unless I would further describe them. So in a way it can be confused or conflated with nationality. But there is more to the story.
The White European part kept us from being just a Christian, Universal state. An all important delimiter.
I wouldn’t panic if Lebanese or Armenian Christians moved next door. Many of them are fine people who take good care of their property. But millions of them would change our culture away from the European model. Different values apart from the Christianity.
We believe that both genetics and culture matter. Our Liberal foes are narrow compared to us, believing in only culture or environment, and always trying to delete the cult or religious aspect of culture. They end up with very little good and a whole lot of bad.
Yes, that makes sense. That is the qualifier. We are Christians religiously speaking but we are White Europeans on a holistic level. We did have our own religions at one point in time before Christianity and i have been feeling an affinity to them now for a while. Maybe we are missing those elements and need to reconnect to them?
I think so. Too many Christians dream of a world where everyone dresses like Americans and have the same obsessions as we do. It’s a false universalism dressed in the rags of a degraded localism.
At its best, Christianity could give us a universal outlook without demanding we become like everyone else or they become like us by gate crashing our borders. Paganism could help in this endeavor.
The Israelis are one of the first countries to feel the negative effects of the loss of US power. Israelis have hitched their wagon to a falling star.
This Ukraine war has weakened the West in preparation for the destruction of Jerusalem. The madmen running the Zionist state are driven by their false ideology, abetted by Christian Zionists, in much the same way that they were in the first century. Blind ideology seduced them into thinking that God would save Jerusalem at the last minute. This did not happen then. It will not happen now.
We are about to see the importance of understanding Scripture properly. Making idols of prophecy can cost millions of lives, ultimately. There is still some time to learn and unlearn. So far about a half million Israelis have left the country, most being dual citizens with another country in the West.
We are reaching a climax in history [ here it comes ] consequences expected.
The climax of history of which you speak will likely come before November 5. Consequences expeced.
Well said!!! @messianicdruid
We ARE reaching a climax in history.
Before it comes, the USA, like every other major power in history, is likely to be a lot less powerful in relative terms.
And as such, it will not be able to enable Israel, and protect Israel from the consequences of the actions of the Israeli government.
However, as long as the US can enable and cover for Israel, Israel will continue to foment wars in its quest to take over the Middle East. Israel will continue to dig a hole–which is going to swallow AMERICA first, then Israel. If we live long enough, we will see it.
Since today the US is still the single most powerful country, today (or next week) Israel will attack Hezbollah/Lebanon. And when they “declare victory”, Israel will pull a Gaza on the West Bank. And maybe Syria too. But after that, America will not be able to help, and Israel will face consequences for everything since before 1948.
The 500,000 Israelis who have left so far are the ones who are either really timid and fearful of bottle rockets, or members of the “quiet minority” (unliked Gideon Levy, or Miko Peled, they are afraid to speak up), they are sickened by the aparthied state even as they benefit, or they see that by destroying Gaza, the blood of all the innocent Gazans is going to drown Israel and that Israel has already destroyed itself, but doesn’t realize it yet (like the Germans 83 years ago, who attacked the USSR and so doing signed Nazi Germany’s death warrant).
More Israelis are going to leave.
Even more important than that, understanding Scripture properly requires dedication, prayer, and fasting. (these are not attributes I associate with “Christian” “fundamentalists”, for example).
Many of the Biblical interpretations, and predictions attributed to the Bible, are uninformed and incorrect because they come from people whose religious beliefs come from offshoots of offshoots of Christianity; people who have lived in America for several generations and are very removed from the REAL experience of life in the Holy Land or Mediterranean basin today–or 2,000 years ago.
As a result, in some important ways (lack of the Eucharist, one easy, and important example) their Christian “beliefs” are way off in some important regards (and remember, most every civilization on earth has the equivalent of the last 8 of the 10 Commandments–don’t kill, steal, lie, etc).
That is why Orthodox priests tell people to “live a Christian life while we are here” and not overly concern ourselves with interpreting Revelations or prophecy. If one wants to forsake this world and dedicate their life to God as a priest or a monk, perhaps God will give one some clarity interpret scripture.
Given that never in earth’s history has mankind had so much destructive power (in addition to nuclear, weapons of MASS destruction include chemical, BIOLOGICAL, DNA/RNA; Obama, 2 presidents ago, could literally order people killed and watch this happen; the forests being cleared; the pollution being generated)
and so many people (targets) who are so VULNERABLE (how would Americans fare if they lost electricity, shelter, water, food, access to toilets–well, that’s life in Gaza today. Some Detroiters lost power last week for 1 to 3 days, and it was a big deal),
it’s a matter of time before, left to our leaders’ own devices, or even our “wants”, mankind destroys itself and the world.
So, mankind will not be left to its own devices. God will intervene, and then I believe EVERYONE will all see the same reality (though most likely, we may not all share the same destiny).
Johns Hopkins genetic study shows 97.5% of Judaics living in Israel have absolutely no ancient Hebrew DNA, are therefore not Semites, and have no ancient blood ties to the land of Palestine at all. Whereas 80% of Palestinians carry ancient Hebrew DNA and thus are real Semites.
Christian Zionists have been hoodwinked and are mistakenly supporting the wrong side.
bitchuteXcom/video/iBdFH2JBCvHR/
It seems like the reason a lot of Christians don’t side with the Palestinians is because they perceive them to be Muslim. There is a Palestinian Christian minority but they are not nearly as numerous or visible. So the media is able to successfully other Palestinians in the eyes of many Christians, at least in America.
Christian’s were driven out of Lebanon. When Christians were a sizable minority the country was still civilized and prosperous.
@BRH
The levels of denial for what Muslims intend in the middle east and eventually everywhere.
They have not changed their stated goals since 600ad.
Well then, at least we can tip our hat at their consistency, eight?
Yes, eventually Christians and Muslims get into wars because their religions are different. Muslims used to be extremely civilized and actually carried forward a lot of knowledge from the Greeks and Romans during the Middle Ages but it is as if their civilization has been in a sort of dark age since that time.
SSL
Oh come on, the Muslims were civilized as they drove across North Africa, Easter and Western Europe killing hundreds of thousands of Christians and Jews? The Good old days, right?
OG is right on this one, they are consistent, they have been trying to convert the world militarily ever since Mohammed told them to. They have killed millions in their efforts. The Balkan fiasco of the 90s was just the latest attempted jihad in Europe.
Is it genocide when Israel says bullshit to them?
The Palis had a chance to take half of Palestine per the UN mandate in 1948. They blew it opting for war instead. Even Abbas admitted it was the biggest mistake the Arabs have made.
We have talked about the lack of ambition and drive that the Blacks have shown in the USA stunting their social and economic growth through the years. Ever consider the Palis may have the same problem? The Ottomans showed very little progress in hundreds of years.
Same problem?
Boy, if God and Jesus (ONE) is watching this blog, the hatred being shown here is enough to start the Revelation going.
OG, who gives one shit about what is what in Israel, the Israelis have the capability to blow the Middle East into the Stone Age. So go ahead and root for the terrorists. They are soon to be history. Nobody cares who you root for.
Iran is about to get nuclear help from the USSR, wonderful. They can have their nuke against the 90-300 Israel has.
Israel will win this debacle, period. Bitch about it all you want. The USA is who is going to lose when Israel AND the Arabs join BRICS+++++ for the USA, Biden betrayal.
Of course God is watching this blog, JAZ. He is omnipresent and omnipotent.
I don’t hate anyone, JAZ. Calling facts that you don’t like “hate” is lazy. You’re better than that. Honest to God you are.
Who gives a shit? I give a shit about these fake Semites destroying God’s green earth.
I don’t root for terrorists. I root for the truth. You don’t speak for everyone and, besides, God cares who I root for.
Of course every country on earth is turning against the fake Semites running Israel and the USA. “So it is written, so it shall be done.”
God will win this “debacle.” Period.
I’m not bitching. I’m stating truth. The truth throws light on the fact that you’ve been hoodwinked [“By deception thou shalt do war.”]. Throw down your ego and embrace the truth (as God intends for you).
Yes, the USA will lose. And deservedly so, imho, for what they have done to billions for decades.
But I don’t believe that BRICS will have Israel. The whole world will turn against Israel. “So it is written, so it shall be done.”
You just love to judge people who do not agree with you, don’t you.
Jesus said, YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THAT. ONLY GOD HAS THAT RIGHT.
Quite honestly I do not give one damn about you and your contingent on the blog’s opinion about much of anything.
Yes, JAZ. God will judge you and God will judge me.
I will face His judgement having lobbied for peace while you will try and explain that you believed that He ordained the genocide that you rooted for.
“Oooops!”
I’m beginning to think that you’re an Israeli, John
Wait, you admit Israel is going to betray us? and you still think we would support them? You sound like you are on the verge of a breakdown. Why not break on through to the other side instead?
Here it comes:
“Israel Defense Force Lieutenant General (res.) Aviv Kochavi has confirmed War will commence into Lebanon.
He publicly said tonight: “I say this from here, first and foremost to the residents of Lebanon. Not only do I suggest you leave from the moment the war begins, but I also suggest you leave from the moment of tension because the intensity of the attack will be something you have never seen. Never seen.”
halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/news-selections/world-news/israeli-general-confirms-war-into-lebanon-will-commence-urges-lebanese-to-evacuate
Yep, here it comes. Israel is handling the situation and without the weapons the Congress appropriated but were never sent per Sec.Austin.
As in Gaza, Israel has sent a warning to the civilians, “Get out, do not attempt to protect the terrorists, if you are in the way, it is to your peril.”
It is up to the Lebanese to make their decision.
And SSL, I am Scottish, English, German and Dutch, and am rooting for Israel. Your attempted insult? Like water off a duck’s back.
“By way of deception thou shalt do war.”
You are goyim, JAZ.
Like the beaten wife who keeps telling her family and friends, “You don’t understand him. It’s complicated.” as she makes his dinner with a black eye.
It just kills you that Israel is taking terrorism in stride and dealing with it, doesn’t it.
If goyim means supporting Israel, thank you for the compliment.
54 year anniversary this year and all happy years, can you say the same? I do not think so.
Goyim means that you are an animal, a beast of burden. You are to be worked and taxed to death for their benefit.
And my scowling scritch of an ex-wife has nothing to do with it. The fact that I married the wrong woman in 1996 is irrelevant to war in the Middle East. D’uh.
***
Congratulations on your 54th anniversary, JAZ! Good for you.
Oh ho, OG. You stepped into this one.
The Quran says that other religions may be tolerated but they must pay a tax to the Islams in lieu of being killed.
Who is the goyim here, OG.
Nice choice Islamic conquered folks enjoyed through the centuries, taxes or death. Nowadays, ISIS says forget taxes, die as they lop off heads and burn people in cages.
These are some really nice people all you people like so much.
Question, if you HAD to choose, would you rather live in Israel or Iran, Iraq, Egypt. or even Saudi Arabia? Especially you. SSL?
You are so confused, JAZ.
You think that my criticism of Israeli policy means that I approve of Islamic policy. I do not.
You are so black/white, GOP/Dem that you believe that everyone must be A or B.
They’re all fucked up over there as far as I can tell. I would never even visit let alone live anywhere near the place.
I’m worried about over here, however.
AIPAC/ADL run DC. They are the occupying force here regardless of how awful Islam is over there.
Then, to make matters worse, TPTB on both sides (Bibi and Hamas) are in cahoots.
Israel has 40? nukes but denies it. Dirty war mongers.
Estimates range from 90 to 300, state secret. Something for Iran and Egypt to consider, actually maybe Russia too depending if the delivery systems can reach Moscow.
The absolute stupidity on display.
Were there not buffalo herds that stretched for miles in every direction and endless bovine type animals in Africa?

Denmark Presents 2030 ‘Flatulence Tax’ For Livestock Farmers, Citing Efforts To Slash Gas Emissions
Denmark proposed a “flatulence tax” plan that allegedly garnered industry-wide support and is anticipated to be adopted by the national legislature, outlet Euro News reported.
A bold new proposal from the Danish government states that starting in 2030, livestock farmers in Denmark will be charged for the greenhouse gases that their pigs, sheep, and cows produce.
According to Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus, the program intends to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Northern European nations by 70% by 2030.
“We will take a big step closer in becoming climate neutral in 2045,” Bruus said, adding that Denmark “will be the first country in the world to introduce a real CO2 tax on agriculture.”
Late on Monday, representatives of the industry, unions, and farmers came to an agreement with the government.
“As of 2030, Danish livestock farmers will be taxed 300 kroner ($43) per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2030. The tax will increase to 750 kroner ($108) by 2035. However, because of an income tax deduction of 60%, the actual cost per ton will start at 120 kroner ($17.3) and increase to 300 kroner by 2035,” according to Euro News.
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration claims that methane traps roughly 87 times more heat over a 20-year timeline than carbon dioxide, despite the fact that carbon dioxide usually receives more negative attention in regards to climate change marketing.
The U.N. Environment Program also claims that 32% of methane emissions caused by humans are related to livestock.
A similar bill was enacted in New Zealand and is set to go into effect in 2025. However, on Wednesday, the law was struck down from the statute book due to strong opposition from farmers and the shift in power in 2023 from a center-left to a center-right ruling alliance.
We had a few hot days here in the low 90s, but tonite or tomorrow night the temp is suppose to drop into the 40s. One of the problems we are having is our utility bills are the 2nd or 3rd highest in the United States; Climate Cranks are in control of state govt and they shoot down any proposals for new natgas pipelines (our standard power plants are fueled by natgas) or any other plan that would provide electricity at cheaper rates other than solar panels and windturbines. This is one of the main reasons small businesses and restaurants are shutting down wholesale… they cant afford to air condition or heat their premises.
The largest solar installer in the area recently went bankrupt. The signature offshore wind farm project in LI Sound seems to have stalled in the water, literally. Hundreds of millions have been spent with very little to show for it. The head of the project was arrested earlier this year by the FBI for graft. It seems like a big money sucking construction project where big Dem donors and former Dem officeholders get high paying ‘ Renewable Energy’ jobs with which they funnel a portion of the swag back to the Party. It’s a big scam, and I doubt we’ll see one f#kkn watt of electricity out of it.
They are planning for an eastern seaboard with far less people.
You know BRH. I have wondered what would the climate, day to day, need to be to induce a mile thick ice sheet over New England. Does Gaia reaction to higher temperature cause a plunge in global temperature? Does the reaction shut down ocean currents driving polar temperatures down? Do El Nino and the Atlantic Gyre cease to exist? Does the Gulf Stream cease to flow? Remember most paleo weather conclusions stem from Europe. Europe turns into an icebox when the Gulf Stream quits.
I sure do not know, but we have global leaders that think they know it all. That in itself scares me.
And OG, ??????
Why would the Deep State Uniparty target the East Coast when they hate MAGA, which is definitely not on the East Coast?
Depop is global, JAZ. I was responding to Heckler’s comment about electrical generation on the eastern seaboard specifically but depop will happen everywhere. The jabs have already been administered and now they simply await the 5G signals.
THANKS
I wonder if they are going to tax Siberia, Canada and Alaska for the methane released by the tundra as it thaws. Or tax the ocean for the methane traps as they erupt.
Dem dogma If it moves, tax it.
Dems are merely an American phenomenon, JAZ, and Americans are only 4% of earth’s population. Until you grasp those simple facts, you will never understand what is really going on in the world.
Is this an OG rubber stamp?
Yeah, Americans have been running the world since 1945, as the only surviving intact economy.
And yeah, that is coming to an end now as the world grows around it.
So all you Americans out there, OG is rubbing our nose in it ,
AGAIN.
Between you and me, OG, you know we both agree on what the macroeconomics of the USA and the world are doing. You are preaching to the choir on this subject.
Little puppies need to have their noses rubbed in the poop that they have left on the living room carpet, JAZ.
It is not mean. It is necessary and it is good.
Americans are myopic navel-gazers. They see the entire planet as Dems v GOPs when that, of course, is stupid.
Americans need their noses rubbed in their messes so that they may learn.
“Little puppies need to have their noses rubbed in the poop that they have left on the living room carpet.” — OG
The consensus now of veterinarians, canine behaviour specialists, and dog trainers is that rubbing a dog’s nose in its own shit does more harm than good, compromising the bond between dog and owner, and creating fear and anxiety in the dog, all to little or no reward of abstention. Furthermore, dogs, unlike humans, don’t feel guilt, so all it does is confuse them.
Scent-based association, treats, praise, an immediate walk, and many other positive reinforcement tactics when they unload outside, work much better.
I did not know that, SF. I was merely running off of JAZ’s words but point taken.
Americans, however, presumedly are capable of feeling guilt and I will continue to rub their noses in their global dumps.
“‘We will take a big step closer in becoming climate neutral in 2045,’ Bruus said, adding that Denmark will be the first country in the world to introduce a real CO2 tax on agriculture.’”
Socialist stupidity in full display. Here’s a simple fact: When you subsidize something, you get more of it. When you tax something, you get less of it.
In this case, the result will be simple–tax agriculture and you will get less of it, meaning you will get less food. I hope that Danes enjoy starving to death–let’s hope that the Socialists die first.
I coined a new word for what Socialism is: Socialism is a moronocracy, where the very dumbest people run everything.
If this is the case, then when are the legislature going to tax themselves for emitting so much hot CO2 laden air. The degree of bullshit generated by these ignorant bodies appalls me. Is Europe taking stupid pills? I notice in the EU elections that the people may have had enough of this bullshit, let’s hope it continues.
Euro nationalism is surging, country by country. Despite the MSM’s desperate attempts to fellate the EU every chance they get, the public, in now significant numbers, ain’t buying the progressive buzz from the unelected mendacious overseers or their globalist enforcer figureheads.
Here in the once great North, Trudeau is set to get turfed in an epic trouncing in the next election, but is too arrogant and egoistic to quit as Liberal leader before that happens. Good! I hope he takes down the party with him.
Ho, ho. A picture of how the Left works is apparent today.
SCOTUS the conservative wing that isn’t just overrode a state law in Idaho banning abortion except to save Mom’s life.
Federal law, EMTALA, says that ERs cannot turn away folks with emergency situations until stabilized or any part of the body that is a hazard to the person is stabilized. That includes the uterus and its contents. So if a lung problem that is compromised by the pregnancy can be a hazard that allows abortion.
As EMTALA is a federal law, it, by the words of the Constitution, is the Supreme law of the land. It supersedes state law and the judges of Idaho must abide by the federal law.
Snip, snip, nice and clean, void state law.
I noticed reading this statement about federal laws being “supreme law of the land” that the ticket to federal dictatorship is in place. It potentially negates the 10th amendment.
A “good” law like EMTALA is being used by the Left to push the abortion agenda.
Anybody surprised? As for SCOTUS, their job is to interpret laws per the Constitution, they did. The Constitution allowed this.
It wasn’t an insult, John, it was simply an observation that lines out with reality quite well. As if the AMERICAN Constitution matters one whit to the people who you truly love and support and who fundamentally control everything occurring within our own occupied territories. But if you seriously think I will be lectured about abortion by someone who supports children being ripped into pieces by bombs then you can take your cocky attitude and shove it.
Oh, give me a break, SSL. How about all the Israeli people, kids included, that have been blown apart by Hamas and Hezbollah rockets and missiles during the years. Abortion is murder, period and voluntary. Huge difference from war, especially if the mothers and fathers hide the makers of war.
War is war, legalized murder,
abortion is abortion, legalized murder.
Don’t you get it, societies as they rot from within, authorize legalized murder, as their morality disappears. America is no different.
Besides my point was the erosion of local and state autonomy by that paragraph in the Constitution about the Supreme Law of the Land and how it has been used by the Left to erode State’s rights.
Abortion was the messenger.
My aim with war is get it done, one side wins outright to change the direction of the future. Sorta like a Fourth Turning.
“My murdering of children is good but their murdering of children is bad!”
Uh … JAZ … ALL murdering of children is bad. D’uh.
Is it, OG?
Are you telling God he is bad by permitting the genocide of Jewish children in the past,(see below)?
D’uh.
First of all, God is exempt. “What God wants, God gets.”
God judges us. We don’t judge Him.
And … you seem to have trouble differentiating people’s actions from God’s will. God permits all manner of evil in this realm. That hardly makes it His fault!
And … apparently you have a reading comprehension issue, JAZ. Try again:
“ALL murdering of children is bad.”
all the Israeli people, kids included, that have been blown apart by Hamas and Hezbollah rockets and missiles during the years.
And others say maybe a million or more gazans have been killed since
1950. the greater Israel project.
So Malthuss. who is right and who is wrong? Whose kids count the most? Who starts the wars killing all these kids?
Do not bring God into this anyway. God permitted the genocide of the Hebrew children by Pharoah in his hunt for Moses. God permitted the genocide of Bethlehem’s children in his desire to kill Jesus.
You all judge today’s players for actions that God has permitted in the past. You have no right. God is the judge.
People are inherently evil. War is evil and is conducted by evil people and like the tango it takes two sides to conduct a war. Who is right? Who is wrong? You do not get to make that choice, neither do I.
GOD.
“God permitted the genocide of Bethlehem’s children in his desire to kill Jesus.”
God did no such thing – that’s yet another Biblical fable that has no historical proof backing it up. And whoever the writer was that made it up is one sick puppy.
Too easy, Groundhog.
Matthew 2:1-18
Synopsis: The Magi came to Herod looking for Jesus. The scribes at corset said He was to be born in Bethlehem, The Kings went and found Him. Having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they went home another way. In the meantime, Joseph had a dream where an angel, God’s messenger, told him to flee to Egypt, warning him about Herod. When Herod found out about the Magi, he had all the boys under age 2 in Bethlehem and its surrounds killed.
God not only permitted the murder of the kids, He prevented the killing of His Son.
We definitely do not judge God, let alone each other.
It is difficult to understand why God lets these things happen, but His testament with Man was and is to not interfere.
Thou shalt not murder. If Man actually lived by that, we would not have had God’s messenger to us. However, Man loves to kill for some reason. And yes, in that vein, God permits Man to murder “himself” with His policy of non-interference.
I wish that man respected himself enough to never murder legally, war and abortion, but he doesn’t. Today we have legal murder in Gaza and Ukraine in the form of war. In war both sides contribute to the murdering. So blaming one side over the other is senseless.
I ask all the time to the Israel haters on the blog to come up with a better idea of how to handle the Middle East situation and never get an answer. Long term, not just a ceasefire to re-arm. Their desire, I believe is that Israel get driven into the sea and Muslims take over.
Sorry, not me, if the people of Gaza support Hamas and refuse to move, it is on them when the hammer comes down from Israel. When one side wins totally, it will be over. That is my desire. And I do not believe that will be the Arabs.
US Supreme Court in Julliard v. Greenman: 110 US 421:
“there is no such thing as a power of inherent sovereignty in the government of the United States. It is a government of delegated powers, supreme within its prescribed sphere, but powerless outside of it. … congress can exercise no power which they have not, by their constitution, intrusted to it; all else is withheld.”
In a 2014 speech entitled “Interpreting the Constitution: A View From the High Court,” Justice Scalia said this: “The Constitution is not a living organism. It’s a legal document, and it says what it says and doesn’t say what it doesn’t say.”
— Justice Scalia: ‘Constitution Is Not a Living Organism’, (March 15, 2014)
Thomas Jefferson letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823, (The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 7, Cambridge Library Collection, page 296):
“On every question of construction carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed.”
The 1905 U.S. Supreme Court, South Carolina v. U.S., 199 US 437:
“The Constitution is a written instrument. As such, its meaning does not alter. That which it meant when it was adopted, it means now…”
In the 1966 famous case of Miranda v. Arizona the Supreme Court said of our rights:
“And in the words of Chief Justice Marshall, they were secured “for ages to come, and . . . designed to approach immortality as nearly as human institutions can approach it,” (quoting Cohens v. Virginia, 6 Wheat. 264, 387 in 1821).
The 1901 Supreme Court in Downes v. Bidwill, 182 U.S. 244, ruled:
“It will be an evil day for American liberty if the theory of a government outside of the supreme law of the land finds lodgment in our constitutional jurisprudence. No higher duty rests upon this court than to exert its full authority to prevent all violation of the principles of the Constitution.”
U.S. Supreme Court in Cohens v. Virginia 19 U.S. (6 Wheat.) 264 at page 418:
“An Unconstitutional Act is not law; it confers no rights: it imposes no duties; affords no protection; it creates no office; it is in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.”
The U.S. Supreme Court, Miranda vs. Arizona, 384 US 436 page 491:
“Where rights secured by the Constitution are involved, there can be no rule making or legislation which would abrogate them.”
The U.S. Supreme Court, Marbury vs. Madison. 5 US 137: All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.
Maxim of law:
Non accipi debent berba in demonstrationem falsam, quae competunt in limitationem veram. Words ought not to be accepted to import a false description when they are consistent with a true definition.
U.S. Supreme Court in Olmstead v. United States, 277 U.S. 438, 469-471:
“In a government of laws, the existence of the government will be imperiled if it fails to observe the law scrupulously. Our government is the potent, the omnipresent teacher. For good or for ill, it teaches the whole people by its example. Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.”
The U.S. Constitution is delegated power, delegated from those who wrote it. The tenth amendment says so.
We are all created equal, therefore they could not have delegated to their civil servants a power that we ourselves did not have.
A really outstanding statement of the strict interpretation of the Constitution and the one I believe in totally.
However, the Deep State in it drive for control has used the Supreme Law of the land to get around this strict interpretation, if something exists to get in the way of their agenda, just pass a federal law, a supreme law of the land, to void or change it.
As I said, the success of this approach has led to the creation of the Deep State.
You know what it would take to undo the damage? A judicial review of all the federal laws by an impartial SCOTUS for their constitutionality. OH yeah. hahahahaha.
And a turnover of the federal judgeships to get unbiased national judicial review, again, hahahahahaha.
I like your tone, though.
If we obey laws that have no authority, it is on us.
A law that is “null and void from its inception” cannot voided again.
First the law must be judged, then the facts.
“As for SCOTUS, their job is to interpret laws per the Constitution, they did. The Constitution allowed this.”
They did not. They cannot exercise authority that has not been DELEGATED.
Yo are right, MD, it is the function of SCOTUS to do judicial of all new laws to determine their constitutionality.
However, the political leaning of SCOTUS interferes with the bias of SCOTUS. This country has drifted Left by passing Leftist laws for seventy years, taking away state level power. Number one on the list is the state level control of education.
Do not bring God into this anyway.
you are delirious.
USA funds Israel. Israel has nukes but denies this.
etc.
the last attack on Israel was a false flag. ask Jarek.
i’m very emotional and i’ve been crying alot today. I can’t even believe to even countenance how some people can be so entirely thoughtless and cruel
“As in the days of Noah …”
I also saw a walking stick that appears to be very sick from being sprayed with poison and i am just in the place where i just want to scream at those people who come by and spray ditches and stuff i hate you!! I’ve moved him to an area below a tree in the shade but i don’t know what to do to help him so i just prayed. 💔
Today, I did not spray the ‘weeds’ (mostly mint and flowers) growing in the concrete ‘cracks’ with roundup/glyphosate – I simply (actually fairly labour intensive) cut them to the roots w/ an electric hedge trimmer – heh! So, while I hate killing even a plant, I didn’t spread toxic herbicide.
Oh, and PGE tells me I’m 132% green energy. WTF?!? I think that means I subsidize EVERYONE ELSE. Kinda like w/ my garbage collection (I put something out maybe every 4-6 months)… Or my water/sewage (need I go on…)
I don’t need a walking stick yet – so condolences.
10/7 was “Israel’s 9/11.”
Full stop.
C’mon, God is right in the middle of this.
“Who is right? Who is wrong? You do not get to make that choice, neither do I.”
– JAZ
“Do what thou wilt.”
– Aleister Crowley
What a pathetic cop out! Of course we can know right from wrong! Start with the Ten Commandments. [“Thou shalt not kill.”]
“We can’t know what is right and what is wrong so my bombing little children to bits might be ok and you can’t say otherwise.”
– OG paraphrasing JAZ’s pathetic cop out
“God-ordained genocide?”
– JAZ
You are one sick puppy, bud.
OG,” Start with the Ten Commandments. [“Thou shalt not kill.”]
OG, I would strongly disagree with your statement. You may prefer to lie down like a dog and be kicked into submission but if push comes to shove it’s not going to happen. Turn the cheek when it’s life or death. I doubt it. I’m going to do whatever it takes to protect my loved ones. I can only say to my oppressors. “Don’t test me.” I’m thinking the Jews in NAZI Germany would agree. Unfortunately they learned the lesson at the barrel of a gun.
I believe that you should not put yourself above God and God’s Law, elmo.
I believe that there are fates far worse than death.
You’re speaking of self-defence … but where do you draw the line?
Can you rightly kill my son because you believe that he will grow up to kill your grandson?
Well said, OG, but self-defense is not the only reason to murder. Some people murder for the thrill of killing. Others to advance their agendas. Some to avoid inconvenience to their lives. God’s law is subject to interpretation by man, which he does regularly. Think about:
Tho shalt not commit adultery. That one is always good for a laugh.
Or Thou shalt respect they mother and father, another laugh.
Thou shalt not steal, oho, think Deep State.
Think about going on to the floor of the stock exchange and hollering, Thou shalt have no other Gods before me, give away your wealth. You would be laughed out of there.
Mankind is doomed in the vast majority, that is the message of Revelation.
God knows both sides of death, his Son told us not to fear death, that eternal life goes on.
Are those the Ten Commandments that NO ONE pays any attention to?
Not God-ordained maybe but definitely God noticed and ignored. Man does himself in, not God.
What would today be like if the Arabs and Jews in 1948 had agreed to just take the partition and live in their own areas? Who caused the start, not the Jews.
Huh? It was all Palestine until the Jews moved in and took over. Of course the Jews started it.
“God never stopped me when I was killing people. Therefore, He must be ok with it.”
Surely you’re not that stupid, JAZ.

“Many people do not strictly follow God’s Ten Commandments so it is ok if I don’t as well!”
Surely you’re not that stupid, JAZ.
God knows you.
Debate? What a joke! We have a shill and a drill, drill, drill bit.
Neither one a Pancho Villa or an Emilio Zapata, true fighting men of burning blood and courage.
But Trump was strong against the shill’sedition.
He goes into the den but will he beard the lying lion?
A first from my phone in Lost Wages!
Woe be me to say it, but I think that any of JHK’s optimism may be misplaced. America’s national institutions have been so permeated by evil, anti-freedom, Socialist rot–not only at the top but far down into the civil-service-protected leftist rabble there entrenched–that the damage may be nearly irreparable and irreversible.
The SCOTUS decision on Murphy this week basically put a rubber stamp of SCOTUS approval on the Democrat scum regime using NGO surrogates (the social media tyrants, et al) to effectively silence anyone who disagrees with the Democrat Party line. Then a SCOTUS staffer (or maybe even a higher up) conveniently leaked the Idaho abortion case decision to conveniently allow the leftist propagandists in the media some extra days before the Presidential debate to stir up the abortion crowd into a froth.
Lost in the propaganda was the horrific factual reporting that the CIA, right up to the CIA Director, knew that the “Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinformation” story was unadulterated bullshit, but allowed and encouraged 51 treasonous scumbags in the intelligence community to sign a letter that the “Russian disinformation” hoax was actually true–in effect not only keeping the truth from the American people before the 2020 Presidential election, but telling them the lie that the laptop was Russian disinformation. In any other time, all of those scumbags would already be charged and convicted of treason, but, under the Biden Administration, they are still touted as heroes.
The Presidential debate has already been rigged to favor Vegetable Biden. Trump’s only way to “win” the debate is to hit a home run every time he gets to say something–something that Trump could do, but shouldn’t have to.
At this point, there is only ONE way to possibly save the U.S. from total economic, social, and political destruction, and it is to elect Trump, and a Republican-controlled House and Senate in 2024. Failing that, sadly, a free America will only re-emerge if what will be a de facto Democrat Socialist/Fascist/Communist dictatorship is destroyed in a bloody Civil War. And that war will be fought to save the U.S. Constitution and Rule of Law that the Democrat scum have so willfully destroyed for their own evil purposes. Republicans may not all be the nicest people, but the Democrat Party is now pure evil–as evil as Hitler’s Nazis, or Stalin’s Communists.
For the many people on CFN who are all about retribution, imagine how you’d feel about Albert Bourla if you were this Ohio pharmacist:
vigilantnews.com/post/vaccine-injured-pharmacist-breaks-down-into-tears-testifying-before-ohio-state-senate/
The video of his testimony to the Ohio Senate is less than 6 minutes and it is gut-wrenching for those of us who saw it coming from a mile away.
Another law is not needed.
People with no authority to extend immunity to workers of evil deeds cannot extend immunity that does not exist.

A year or so later, I’d mention a site/article questioning the vax and get my comment deleted by the site’s owner, and at the same time, have it quoted back only partially and out of context by said owner. That was enough for me to leave the site then.
Not too long after, noticing Robert Malone, of all people, getting deplatformed from Twitter, just added to my sense that we were well into the twilight zone.
a prophet at home is unheard…
No prophesy, just healthy paranoia, an anarchic perspective (i.e., do I trust the ‘authorities’?) and a little bit of online research.
Prophesy might not exist, as per Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle. I figured that one out by myself in my late teens by simple logic and then made a trip to the university library to confirm it.
Here’s how it went:
If I knew everything, then I could predict the future, but if I knew the future, then I could change it. IOW, once you know the future, you don’t.
The only thing we can be sure of is uncertainty.
Who said that any prophet knows everything?
“prophesy
intransitive verb
To reveal by divine inspiration.
To predict the future with certainty.
synonym: foretell.
To prefigure or foreshadow.”

“Prophecy
In religion, a prophecy is a message that has been communicated to a person (typically called a prophet) by a supernatural entity. Prophecies are a feature of many cultures and belief systems and usually contain divine will or law, or preternatural knowledge, for example of future events. They can be revealed to the prophet in various ways depending on the religion and the story, such as visions, divination, or direct ”

An infinite universe/cosmos seems to logically suggest fundamental unpredictability, because infinity of course doesn’t resolve. There are no ‘initial conditions’…
The ‘problem’ with ‘deities’, or some people’s, appears to be that they are ‘initial conditions’, and therefore at odds with what appears as the cosmos and, as such predicabiility.
The only way to predict anything with certainty is to know everything, but once you do, then you can take the steps to change the outcome, thereby rendering your knowledge incomplete:
It’s a wonderful paradox.
So-called prophets may be simply be ‘sophists’ or ‘sham philosophers’ or intellectual equivalent of the classic snake-oil salesman.

Rather like how some ‘trans-gendered’ people may have psychiatric conditions, so too the ‘prophets’ of antiquity may have had.
That is scripture, MD. Jesus was almost stoned in Nazareth for declaring Himself the Messiah in synagogue.
What time is the ‘debate’?
Pretty sure it’s 1 AM UST
10 pm Atlantic time; 9 pm EST.
Too stuffed for popcorn, but I have enough time for a bike ride to Chocolate Lake and a few pull-ups on the nearby kids’ monkey bars.
“9 pm EST.”
That’s 6 pm here. Good! I’d already planned to be out and about at 6 anyway, so now there’s no temptation to watch the tire fire.
I’ll tune in much later just to see if Mr. Magoo got the vaudeville hook partway through.
Mr. Cringe vs Mr. Trigger.
I don’t know about you, but I honestly view this ‘debate’ as likely a sort of trippy deadpan comedy-parody and, as such, am looking forward to it.

this is right out the playbook Orwell said would play out – and I’m happily and intelligently covid vax-free: “The Biden Administration pressured Amazon to hide books for sale on its platform that were critical of vaccines during the pandemic, it has been revealed.
The findings were presented by the House Judiciary Committee and Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government in documents that show Amazon reduced the visibility of titles that the government deemed overly critical of big pharma shots.
The documents show that some books were simply generally critical of vaccines, with several written by medical professionals. Some were even just reviews of scientific studies.
The Federal government compiled a “Do Not Promote” list, to which more than 40 titles were added.
They even targeted a children’s book that they deemed to be too friendly toward the unvaccinated.” / biden world
Regarding the debate again, I was thinking how Trump has very nice, soft, fine, sniffable hair and at the same time, seems fairly affectionate… And, well, I think Biden might do well to go over to Trump and… you know… make friends?…

Population of Gaza, 1950: 235,000
Population of Gaza, 2024: 2.25 million
This is the only genocide in the history of the world where the population allegedly being ‘Genocided’ increases 1000% in 75 years lol. Incidentally, activity at the Egyptian/Gaza border is the Egyptian army topping off the border wall with razor wire and explosives … to keep Gazans out, not keep Egyptians in. That’s how much Egyptians love Palestinians.

Who is the financial source for the Pro-Hamas protests in the USA?
George and Alex Soros. I will never be on the side of those two assholes, ever.
There is another guy too, an internet multi millionaire who moved to Hong Kong from Chicago. I forget his name. He likes to dress up like a woman and is a big funder of BLM & the Trans movement too.
It seems like every lefty crank with a cause in the country, any cause, every hater of Western Civilization, every anti semite and anti Christian .,, the Hostis Humani Generis (enemies of the human race) that I talk about … has coalesced around Hamas & Gaza. Not that they give a sh#t about Hamas or Gaza … its simply a way to express their hatred and try to give some meaning to their empty lives.
Hear, hear.
Plus, of course, all of us other people who love the West, believe in Geneva and oppose war crimes. Don’t forget about us, Heckler.
You just don’t get it, JAZ, do you?
Soros is on your side. Soros funds these protests to turn American opinion against these protestors and, therefore, against the Palis and, therefore, for Israel.
“Holy kindergarten, Batman! That’s almost too easy!”
– Robin
Wow, Heckler! Is that disingenuous or are you really that stupid?
NOBODY claims a 75-year genocide. Those claiming a genocide claim that it started AFTER 10/7 (i.e. not even 9 months ago). Gaza’s population growth from 1950 to 10/7 is no more relevant in a discussion of whether this is a genocide than is the number of eggs in my fridge!
We’ve had this discussion already. Shame on you!
***
Egypt protects its border from a horde of refugees. Who can blame them for protecting their own border? Every country should protect its own border. Even the USA.
Your underlying, unsaid insinuation is, “The Palestinians are so awful that Egypt doesn’t want them. Therefore, it is ok for Israel to bomb tens of thousands of them to bits while rendering 2.2 million of them homeless and starving. They are so awful that war crimes against them is justified.”
Again, shame on you!
Biden looks like a deer in the headlights.
Just another symptom of Parkinson’s and dementia. Flat affect. Is he juiced up? Cannot tell. I notice that Trump is talking facts, things that have been reported over time. Biden’s response over and over, “It is a lie, it is a lie”.
It isn’t.
“I’ve seen his swing. I know his swing. … Let’s not act like children.”
Hahaha!
How would Trump have answered Biden’s question?
“Why do you think 46 members of his cabinet [ or administration – cant remember ] and his VP wouldn’t endorse him?
“They are all blackmailed for their regular participation in pedo-satanic orgies and, therefore, do what they are told.”
Will this effect GLT?
No. elmo likes our GLT as is.
I did not come here to be made sport of.
Wow, OG, I was going to say it is because they were all Deep State asshats that Trump wanted to fire in a second term, and they knew it.
I like yours better.
MD, this is a political war between folks who think that the Feds are the prime authority in this country and not the people. It is a Cold War now, it could get very hot in the future.
Any Deep Stater is the enemy of MAGA.
There was no fact check at all about the claim. That Pelosi through her daughter has accepted the blame for Jan. 6. I blame Liz Cheney most of all. Trump did offer the National guard, 20000, to counter the threat he foresaw with the Proud Boys et al “visiting” the capital actually believing that the election was stolen. Why didn’t Pelosi and other congress folks, including Cheney, accept the offer? I will tell you why. Because they wanted Jan.6 to happen. And why didn’t the cowering sens. And reps come down to address the crowd and try to stop the people. It was a political circus.
Why has the illegal committee that Pelosi and Cheney convened blocked attempts to show how much of the “evidence” they showed around was phony and much contradictory evidence was suppressed.
It ain’t over yet. I hope Cheney enjoys a few days in jail, maybe Pelosi could be a cell mate.
I said J6 was a false flag run by the Intel agencies and the Democrats almost from day one.
OMFG, that sounds sooo Bohemian Grove. I heard about that cultist/druidic get together, and the skull&bonez thangy, early 90’s. I thought the guy who told me that was completely bonkers, but apparently he was an insider! Bilderbergers rejoice!
OMFG. I swore I wouldn’t watch this shit show. But I did.
We are so screwed.
I don’t know what either was talking about most of the time. These two should not be our choices. But Biden looked liked like he should be playing shuffleboard on a cruise ship, and Trump looked like..well, Trump.
Where’s Jesse Ventura when we need him? And RFK, Jr should’ve been on that stage. He would’ve decimated both of them,
RFK Jr. could be an upset win,
This is what we end up with, when we have an electoral college duopoly, putting on the ‘smoke and mirrors’ horse race (neck-in-neck). There cannot be a third party, and one side may lose the popular vote by 10 million, yet win the electoral college in those 3-5/7 battleground *SH!* states (200k voters?). Voter suppression has worked miracles, just think CrossCheck.
OMFG, did you actually listen to Trump’s ‘closing argument’ ?!? So incoherent, he was segway-ing from topic to topic, within the same sentence…
But.but , but, I really wanted to know who the biggest golf liar is.
I wonder if they fish?
I’ve killed so many fish – but at least I ended up eating most of them. No more fillibuster – just golf all day long!
“Biden looked liked like he should be playing shuffleboard on a cruise ship”
Hahaha! Yup.
d00d looked and sounded like a walking corpse (Biden). This is our “bread and circuses.’ SH! – Trump was on-point, total carnival barker/circus clown.

Opened up his eyes to the tune of an accordion
Always on the outside of whatever side there was
When they asked him why it had to be that way “Well” he answered “just because”

OMG d00d – accordian? I don’t think I’ve heard one of those, since about the late 70’s, at grandmas – Lawrence Welk bubbles!
Saw this one and the next day. They hosed us down if you were near the front…. Got two Friday the 13th shows that year… Bubbles
Grateful Dead too! I saw them in ’94 and ’97. Cherry Jerry! They took a *SH!* ton of LSD – liek when Jimmy Hendrix poured a gallon of water over his head, that had been ‘fermenting tabs’ heh…
Sorta like what I did to Hunter S. when he came toBirmingham.
Hunter asked for it. “Anybody got a hose”?
Saw Robert Nesta Marley in Birmingham. He did not sell enough tickets to do what the ticket said.
Hunter booted me.
Spontaneous chant erupted… “Free Earl Hall” Pause…
Angels do not sing. They can only chant because they do not know despair… no Minor Chords.
Hunter S. had to go and blow his brains out, all over the place – and let Johnny Depp clean up afterwards. Gutless wanker.

It did boil down to one statement, are we better off today than when Biden took office?
I am always amazed by the way Biden can look into the camera and lie without breaking a smile or a sweat. he really believes the lies and fairy tales he says.
“Joe Biden” certainly lived up to his “name”. He looked and spoke like a shell of a human being. And as Mango said, Trump was Trump. RFK Jr. would have made this a much more interesting and view worthy debate. I’m sure Jimbo will have some trenchant comments for us minions in tomorrow’s blog.
You know, Trump is Trump is a copout.
I have seen the media talk about trump’s falsehoods tonight trying to make up for the debacle.
What falsehoods? What did he say that was untrue about his own administration or Biden’s 3 1/2 year debacle? How come after tonight the MSM is trying to recover from 3 years of covering for an imbecile. Actually a group of imbeciles.
What falsehoods?
Would things be different if Trump border policies had been continued?
Would the economy be better off with Trump? Ask the minority folks who are going to vote for Trump.
Are the foreign folks going to react better to Trump? Four years of no war under Trump and his attempted exposure of Biden’s corruption in Ukraine (which unfortunately not mentioned tonight) which may have prevented the war in the first place.
Afghanistan, oh boy.
Let’s talk about all the falsehoods.
It’s about the economy stupid best statement in thirty years.
Man, I wish it was that simple. This smoke screen is a side show to dissuade/confuse us. The damage is done (Foreigner).
You have to realize that back in 1920/1940, when there were only 2 billion people, they were *ALREADY* in a resource blitz. So now, with 8.5/9 billion people and consumption per capita 3 orders of magnitude higher, we are just watching empire resource wars seize the last of the *DESERT WASTELAND* .
Who was that guy – he talked about technics. He sat in his gas guzzler, in the strip mall parking lot, and couldn’t make up his mind!
Trump’s ‘success-as-retribution’ likely came from his interview with Dr. Phil.
“No one is above the law” and “Lock her up” are too scary.
I noted one point in the debate that concerns me.
Biden got confused about Medicare but,
Here is my concern.
If Biden has opened the border to 20-30 million immigrants and has supplied all the support money to them, where the hell has he gotten this money?
From the SSA and Medicare trust funds? I know they are a joke anyway but they are a “capital pool” that the government feeds on. The latest estimate where the fund will no longer pay all the recipients 100% of their retirement will be 1934 and Medicare is worse.
So, my question to Biden is, with all the money you are pouring into immigrants that should not be here in the first place, how are you going to fund gen x, the millennials or Gen z. All you young people out there, Biden has just spent your retirement on legal and illegal immigrants who should not be here in the first place.
One more comment, Biden is an imbecile and a real threat to America. But hoping that Trump will be MR. Fixit and everything will be wonderful when he is elected will be disappointed. What Biden has done these four years is permanent and the damage is done.
BTW, CNN, who I despise, did a bang up job tonight and kudos should be given.
Yes, they didn’t do too badly, even though there were only 2 candidates. I suppose they’re aware of the bad press over the years, so maybe, like Fox, are trying to up their game.
Oh, about your funding questions, money/currency is probably soon due for a seismic shift of sorts…
Collapse doesn’t necessarily have to be collapse, or as bad, if the economic paradigm changes, or at least significant elements of it change.
Universal Basic Income just seems like the old Soviet way of getting the basics to the people. I think Dmitry Orlov once said that their collapse, in that regard, wasn’t so bad and may not be as bad as America’s (unless they can shift the paradigm enough to help mediate it).
As I wrote below, while not perfect, Trump’s probably America’s best bet or last hope for America. I’ll add that he really seems to care about America’s well-being, even mentioning that he could easily do something else than run as prez. In any case, and as he obviously knows, if elected, he’ll be inheriting a bit of a mess. Unsure I’d want that job.
The last hope for America is We The People. Folks who continue to choose any of the controlled NWO candidates in a malevolent socially engineered phony theatrical play are the real “suckers and losers”. This is the same as a cat playing around with a caught mouse caught before killing it. Justify the unjustifiable today, comply with Digital ID tyranny and democide tomorrow.
The way the world is actually run is occulted knowledge. If we continue to put energy towards the script and give it credence, then the mass psychosis will never end. Americans must learn how to separate true emergent phenomenon from humiliation and sufferage rituals. That’s true self governance.
People who set fires to watch the world burn are the owners of the manufactured fictional matrix. Americans, unfortunately, are goofy for believing that we can sway a rigged game that we don’t fully understand by trying to psychoanalize characters that are indistinguishable from fiction because media programming told us to. There are too many brainwashed people that actually think they have deep personal connections to idolized media personalities.
Chomp, chomp give us more self-governance. How and why, all that good stuff.
RFK Jr. is a lawyer, so, law, and Biden is a related career politician.
What Trump has going for him in this context is that he’s a business man (and showman/public figure/tv-persona).
Business is about economics, good business relations, and even a bit of politics. Even so, he’s also a politician now, so he has some experience in that regard on his resume.
He is also somewhat ‘isolationistic’ which should bode well for a liikely-required relocalization (bring industry back home/MAGA) and from what I’ve seen, he seems to get a long fine with many different politicians overseas, including North Korea’s. He speaks in a down-to-earth language that people understand.
That writ, I’d say Trump’s the best candidate for America’s next prez.
Cherokee!
Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 30 U.S. (5 Pet.) 1 (1831), was a United States Supreme Court case. The Cherokee Nation sought a federal injunction against laws passed by the U.S. state of Georgia depriving them of rights within its boundaries, but the Supreme Court did not hear the case on its merits. It ruled that it had no original jurisdiction in the matter, as the Cherokees were a dependent nation, with a relationship to the United States like that of a “ward to its guardian,” as said by Chief Justice Marshall.
I have not seen a anti-Biden commercial on local TV so far this election cycle. Just this AM I have seen 3. I run the tube in the background as I peruse my regular webpages on my kitchen laptop. I am in the bluest of the blue states. Massachusetts. Republican ads here are a waste of money. It seems the purse strings are opening after Potatohead made a fool of himself last night.
Do we really need this?
Having watched some bits and peices of that debacle everyone could see Biden is a wreck.
Mike Johnson Says House Will File Lawsuit Against DOJ Next Week For Biden-Hur Audio Tapes
The House Judiciary Committee intends to file a lawsuit, according to Speaker Mike Johnson, in order to forcibly prompt Attorney General Merrick Garland to produce the audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s meeting with special counsel Robert Hur.
The Justice Department informed Congress that it would not be filing criminal charges against Garland in spite of a House resolution holding him in contempt, so this lawsuit would be the most recent attempt to obtain the sought-after tapes.
“We are going to file suit next week against the Department of Justice to enforce that subpoena. We will go to district court here in D.C., which is the appropriate venue, and we will fight vigorously to get it,” Johnson (R-La.) told reporters on Wednesday.
Republicans contend that hearing the tapes will offer further context for the special counsel’s remarks regarding the president’s senility and memory, even though lawmakers already have a transcript of Biden’s chat with Hur.
Trump has said in the past that Biden’s age is not one of his main concerns in regards to the current president’s ability to run the country per se, it’s Biden’s diminishing memory and overall cognitive abilities.
Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) has also promised to push for a vote on a resolution that would give the House sergeant-at-arms the authority to detain Garland, “a process allowed through such ‘inherent contempt’ resolutions,” The Hill reported.
However, Johnson remained ambiguous regarding Luna’s motion, stating that her proposal was one of many being thought through “in the meantime,” but that “I don’t think anything’s been settled on as of yet.”
Luna has asserted that the action is required to carry out the subpoena.
“This process demonstrates the seriousness with which Congress views non-compliance and the potential consequences for those who refuse to cooperate,” she stated in a letter written to colleagues.
The look on Joe Bidens face when Trump told him he could be a felon right after he gets out of office was priceless.
Trump was actually less brutal than I thought he was going to be.
