The unravelling of the USA gets its summer steroid booster shot this Thursday when the political twerk-fest known as the January 6th Select Committee commences prime-time televising of its inquiry into the so-called “insurrection” the day that Congress met to tally the 2020 electoral college vote when hundreds of protesters entered the US Capitol illegally, egged on and enabled by a squad of FBI plants larded through the crowd, and by shadowy figures inside the building who unlocked the doors for them.
The objectives of this extravaganza are A) to soften up the remaining “purple” voters before the midterm election, B) to paint former president Donald Trump as an instigator of the uproar and an enemy-of-the-people so he won’t be able to run for office again, and C) to punish former White House employees and Trump partisans with onerous legal fees so as to knock them off the political game board.
The Party of Chaos certainly doesn’t need to reinforce the mass formation psychosis of its base who maintain that the 2020 election was the fairest-and-squarest in US history. The committee members will chant the talismanic phrase “The Big Lie” ad nauseam to ward off reasonable suspicions that they are the ones doing the lying. Since a kind of maniacal stupidity attends all the party’s doings these days, it could easily backfire on them. Even two years later probes are still pending in several swing states, and only a few weeks ago, the documentary 2000 Mules released time-stamped videocam footage of blatant wholesale drop-box ballot-stuffing around the country.
Lawsuits filed lately also claim the committee itself is illegally constituted, since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi disallowed (against the rules) the minority Republicans from appointing their own chosen members. Instead, she did it for them, planting the vehemently hostile rogues Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger on it, meaning no witnesses will be called who might refute pertinent details of the “insurrection” narrative already constructed. Much of the testimony presented will be videotaped interviews with Trump White House officials and there will be no accounting for what may be edited out. In other words, you have an obvious setup for a star chamber, a device for disregarding individual rights and fair procedure.
The context, of course, as I aver above, is a country that is imploding six ways to Sunday — to paraphrase Chuck Schumer, the Party of Chaos’s Senate leader. At least half the public is already onto the extravagant damage inflicted upon our national life by the beneficiaries of the 2020 election. Thanks to “Joe Biden,” the dollar is hemorrhaging value, we instigated a war in Ukraine that will lead to global famine and mass refugee events, oil and natgas are unaffordable thanks to our destabilizing of global distribution networks, spare parts are unavailable for every imaginable machine in the land, the business model for farming is broken, real estate is groaning under rising mortgage interest rates, the CDC is still pushing Covid vaccines despite proof that they are ineffective and harmful, cities are overwhelmed with criminal violence and psychotic homeless drug fiends, and, as a final indignity — actually, an advertisement to the world of our depraved weakness — the US military is hosting drag queen shows at our European air bases.
Are these the circumstances that American voters are expected to endorse in the November election when all these conditions are liable to get a lot worse? Apparently, the Party of Chaos thinks so, since they’re delivering exactly what they stand for. And yet, they’re clearly nervous about it, as if they suffer fugitive doubts that we-the-people are avid for cultural and economic collapse.
My advice, then, is to take the televised January 6th hearings for the grand entertainment it’s intended to be. Enjoy the sob stories of the Capitol Police officers pretending to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder. Behold the terrible “threat to our Democracy” of the bare-chested interloper in a horned helmet chatting-up security guards in the Senate chamber. Note the “insurrectionists” taking seditious selfies in statuary hall and trying to fob off with souvenir furnishings. See Rep. Liz Cheney fulminate with scorn and disgust against her orange nemesis. Sympathize with committee Chair Bennie G. Thompson as he bangs his gavel and cries for order when any live witness utters the name Ashli Babbitt. Watch Rep. Adam Kinzinger turn on the waterworks. Take it all in and ask yourself: who exactly seeks to subvert this republic of ours?

(not our merit , nor our fault)
Being born human, it’s not easy to relinquish one of the foremost – if not the foremost – human trait: to have prejudices.
Everything humans do is transient – I don’t know why the things we do which are destructive leave a longer lasting impression than the constructive ones.
(Or maybe I do know: in general, the human brain has a yin slant.)
To spice things up, let me add that the human brain has been shifting: the masculine brain is turning increasingly yin, while the females’ brains are becoming increasingly yang (the I Ching rules!)
(Please spare me: if you are a regular here then you do have a “negative” bias brain.)
And then you might ask, “so what?” To which my reply would be: have you ever considered why the slant, why the drift?
Fate? Who’s behind that?
(The Everlasting Dissatisfaction)
Being a ‘regular reader’ of these pages…. Do I have a “negative bias” or a “reality” based one?
If reality ‘is’ negative, then being negative is not a bias.
“Life is nasty, brutish and short”.
Yes there are good things and the totality is not just the narrow toxic slime produced by the feckless self interested class (aka the ‘elite’)
Thanks, si, for your “match point” against the sophistry of Armenio.
It’s not even sophistry. Every line of Armenio’s post is something he pulled out of his ass.
The food you deemed so tasteful not long ago soon to become loathed manure, yet so precious for the land to remain fertile.
Nothing remains precious forever – Nothing remains noxious forever
Some things anew – Some things decay
Everything changes – The Everlasting Dissatisfaction remains.
I think the very fact that you have such high regard for the I Ching already shows that certain things humans do are not so transient after all. The I Ching is more than 2,500 years old, yet there you go drawing upon and praising its contents. 🙂
Thank you for your words.
Assuming that the I Ching has a human origin, perhaps it is the human translation of the Universal Truth.
I was not objecting to the transient nature of things, just wondering out loud why we humans seem to be hardwired to see things as imperfect (and, since I believe in The Eternal Dissatisfaction, aka God, things are indeed perfect, regardless of my constraints & bias.)
How can eternal dissatisfaction be perfect?
I think he meant perfect in the sense of the whole, or finished thing. It is part of the whole of the human history–we are a dissatisfied and questing species, and probably will never change.
When God is “all in all” we will have peace.
I guess “eternal” threw me off.
Reality is neither negative nor positive – reality just “is”. Negative or positive is the spin (bias) one puts on it. Simple as that.
In other words, No God, as the Vampire Lord of Siberia said in Thirty Days of Night.
There’s a whole industry working to disprove God.
According to those who produce and fund “industry”, those who are 33° Freemasons- members of secret societies that fall under or within broader Freemason witchery – according to their favorite book, Morals and Dogma by Albert Pike, atheists are considered vulgar, profane and philistine.
33° Freemasons don’t seek to disprove God at all; however, they do vilify Jesus Christ (Freemasons deliberately reproached the name of Jesus Christ by transforming it into a swear word- yes Freemasons did that), and seek to disprove that Jesus is the foretold Messiah- these 33° Freemason ghouls both hate and fear him, conversely they worship they enemy of Christ, Baphomet, it is not clear whether Baphomet is a demon or Satan himself.
Watch for their sigils- the hidden hand, the secret handshake, one eye, hexagram, pyramid, compass and square (which is really a sex position) lightening strike tattoos and/or make up, the horned hand signal, and more. 33° Freemason ghouls love their sigils.
Indeed. Read Vigilant Citizen dot com on a regular basis and you will learn it all.
Indeed. Read vigilant dot com to have all your deluded biases confirmed. In technicolor.
I see Redneck Liberal is still faithfully coming here to learn the truth, though he will vehemently deny it.
The pedos and satanists are out in the open. You don’t have to believe in ’em, they’re boasting and showing it off.
I’m not sure how anyone can miss it.
Oh well.
Janos – what God has created – all things – some call negative & some call positive – the free will we’re given.
Ok, but what are they in Truth? From the pov of Truth – which some call God?
First things first. You started in the middle, as does Libertarianism. It’s logical from there, but that’s too late. First Principles come first for a reason.
I used to talk to my Jewish friend in this vein when it came to politics. He once looked at me and said, Americans hate this kind of thing. How right he was! Thus what we see before us.
“(Please spare me: if you are a regular here then you do have a “negative” bias brain.)”
I think you will find that regulars here are onto this kind of framing, especially when it’s accompanied by a command as to what reply we’re permitted to make. We’re not required to “spare” you the discomfort of making arguments you can’t refute, so I’ll proceed to ignore your commandment and make my chosen reply: you don’t have sufficient information to know what sort of bias (if any) any of us may have. That’s not intended to refute the observation that humans are prejudiced, but simply to state the obvious, which is that you don’t know any of us. That being so, it would be wise of you not to TELL us what our personal characteristics are.
Can I at least try (just for the sake of human curiosity)?
Or can I just point out the limitations of those you dislike?
(You must abhor mirrors, no?)
For a brief reply don’t cast stones in glass houses or as some would say look in the mirror and do some deep soul searching you might just figure out how full of shit you really are.
Or not!
The Whole is perfect – disliking the parts is just a state of mind/temporary mind’s eye constraint.
You can point out the limitations of anyone you choose. My objection was to your attempt to control the response of other people, and to assume you knew the mindsets of people whom you don’t know at all.
In the meantime, the 1/6 Commission is refusing to publicly release 15,000 hours of video from that day.
Yes, to be part of a culture is to have a particular perspective – and be prejudiced against other perspectives. Just like being a regular here. You don’t understand your own pov very well. Sad, because it’s a good one. You need to do a sys dump and delete files that don’t accord with this. Try all things by the best within you, in other words.
Thank you.
I’m trying (it takes a lot of unlearning, though.)
I suppose that’s why I’m changing from Linux to FreeBSD (is taking a lot of effort and constant head-on crashes against my cumbersome shortcomings, mind you.)
IIs that really prejudice, though? If one tries to see things from another’s point of view, but then decides their own is right?
Don’t forget the subjective – right for me or right for you, or for my people or your people.
But use with care: This doesn’t apply to objective truth like mathematics, science, etc.
Okay, is this subjective or objective?
whatabeginning.com/Misc/Wonders/P.htm
Prejudice is literally pre-judging – believing something or deciding on something without investigation or proper consideration.
So agreeing or disagreeing with something before considering it properly would be prejudice. Considering all sides and still preferring your own interpretation would be something else (simple subjectivity?) although it might be affected by insurmountable prejudices that made it difficult to consider objectively.
Or something like that … 🙂
“A fool decides a matter before he has heard it.”
What the fuck even is this gibberish? Another wannabe poet squeaks out a fart of pseudomystical gibberish as a humble brag. Fuck right off.
Believe it or not, just the other day I was thinking of you. Now I know you are still here.
What the fuck even is this gibberish? – LR
============
Thank God you wrote that^ Runatic. I had/have no clue what any comment above yours means, especially the first comment by Armenio Pereira. It is causing me to feel mentally inadequate. And I don’t see what that initial comment by Armenio has to do with today’s essay by JHK… not that there is a requirement that there MUST be a connection.
@ LagingRunatic:
I concur.
Amen to that. Such horseshit.
I’m thinking we here have an “objective reality” bias.
Armenio seems unaware that there is such a thing–or unwilling to accept it. And hogwash is most convincing when cloaked in Eastern mysticism–or Walt Disney, if all else fails. Oh! I forgot the Beatles’ line, “Nothing is real, nothing to get hung about.”
What’s the word for a truth no one believes in? A lie?
(Yep, Cassandra – those pesky Greeks got it all figured out a couple thousand years ago, without resorting to the ironically named devices… I wonder how they did it.)
Why is a truth no-one believes in a lie?
If you don’t believe in said truth how would you call it? A rumor, perhaps?
This is my probably haphazard way of exploring why we humans seem to be so at odds with Truth (admitting that truth is something so self-evident no human being with a modicum of good sense could deny it). I have this nagging feeling that the pursuit of knowledge is our way to compensate for our estrangement from Truth, but I’m just speculating here, trying lazily to come up with the right combination of words which could explain it all (I know, humility doesn’t live here anymore.)
“If you don’t believe in said truth how would you call it? A rumor, perhaps?”
You asked what it was, not what people would call it.
Words are not things, words are superstitious labels humans use to name things.
When it comes to Truth, semantics more likely than not are just dead-ends.
[Achievement is pilling up (material goods, knowledge); perfection is narrowing down (opinions, prejudices, conceits, concepts.)
Being able to cope with the demands of everyday life equipped with the shortest range possible of opinions is – eventually – my endeavor.]
But then it would not be a lie but merely a moon landing???
You are indulging in a line of thinking that is probably proscribed somewhere in Leviticus, under the general heading: “Don’t eat shit.”
Fanciful thoughts happen to all of us, just as BMs do. But don’t be dousing them with an I Ching vinaigrette and bringing them to the dinner table.
If the good Lord failed to mention this in Leviticus, it was probably because of an assumption that nobody was that stupid.
Yes, everything humans do is transient and I hear that the recent inflation is transitory. What did you do with your stimulus check? Are you trans?
Have you heard of the BAPHOMET?
“why the drift?” Because it is constant like change.
The arrow drifts and misses it’s mark and that is known as SIN. Perfection is The Enemy of Excellence.
The longest lasting impression ever made by a human being is the very opposite of destruction – the sacrifice made by Jesus Christ, Savior of all men. .
Armenio –
How did such a strange comment end up being first? Was this person waiting ,,,, waiting for that moment to jump in? Get a life man.
To answer your question about why the male human brain has been shifting toward yin, it’s simple chemistry. Our environment is full of estrogen mimics and endocrine disruptors. In cities, density may play a par too. (Remember mouse eutopia.)
“Prejudicies” as you say, is a funny word. To pre judge something, one makes assumptions based either on appearance or on past experience or a combination. In an evolutionary sense, it means navigating the present based on the past. That’s what intelligence is all about. Politcal correctness has owned the word and turned it into a negative, but I’m not buying that.
Greetings,
The only thing this televised hearing is going to do is to remind all Americans that they didn’t do enough and that the people that protested on Jan 6th are heroes.
This bs may have worked 6 months or a year ago but people are downright furious at the moment.
What Trump’s minions wanted was an honest review of the thousands of affidavits that had been presented that the election was rigged.
With the power of the Deep State across all levels, there was no way and continues that way.
Trump’s second term, sans impeachments and investigations may have broken up the evil morass that has formed, especially in the judicial.
Pence showed what he was, a spineless Deep Stater, when he did nothing, not even a speech acknowledging the suspicious nature of the election results and insisting continued investigation, or out and out delaying the state count until samples of investigation could be run. The Dems could not allow that to happen, and Pence went along with them.
Over and over, the enemy presented by the CFN blog is the Deep State, totally corrupted by RINOS like Pence, Kinzinger, McConnell and Cheney. Voting RINO does not fix anything, it actually makes things worse as it allows the Dems to parade around their “bipartisan” buddies.
Deplorables, gird your loins, Purples, use your heads, “Are you better off than three years ago?”
Stop the WEF and the Biden Mob.
When the ballot box no longer works, the jury box is required. When the jury box no longer works, only the cartridge box will resolve the tyranny.
Excellent, Thomas Jefferson would be proud when he expounded that it is the responsibility to tear down government that do not protect the rights of their people.
Damn straight, neurodoc
You’re right Doc – the solutions are no longer political – the solutions are kinetic.
Unfortunately, there will soon be a red flag law that will label Neurodoc a domestic terrorist and he will be asked for his cartridge boxes.
Perhaps I won’t even BE in the former amerika until after it dissolves and saner “sub’ countries emerge. Or, perhaps I’ll come back for CW2 and be a military MD doing triage work for the cause. 🙂
Afraid so..The American Republic died early in the morning of Nov.4 and isn’t going to be revived by the gang of criminals infesting DC…The question is whether we can salvage something out of the wreckage and build something new, akin to the Articles of Confederation…
America will survive the United States.
We just need to improve the enforcement options of We the People and, of course, get rid of the [ globalist ] idea that the Treaty Clause takes precedence of our own laws.
Speaking of impeachment…. I must admit that the Republicans cheapened the process for going after Clinton for diddling an intern. But the Democrats have turned it into a carnival freak show, even impeaching a President after he left office. Does that even count?
Her uvula?
Clinton also sent missile guidance technology to China in return for campaign money…
Yet the impeached him for lying about an embarrassing personal matter.
And wanted to give Long Beach harbor to ‘them’.
most favored nation status, free trade, NAFTA. and more.
Like it or not Bill Clinton broke his oath of office by lying about the affair and even having sex in the office.
I can’t think of anyone anywhere who would NOT be fired for cause doing such.
It was not cheapened by the Republicans but by Bill Clinton for not doing the right thing and simply resigning in disgrace.
Now to the brass tacks the DEMOCRATS attempted impeachment of a sitting president because they simply did not like him that is the ultimate form of cheapening the process and damaging our government.
Frankly I am at the point I think everyone should be fired and we start all over with fair free honest elections with voter id required to cast a ballot and massive over site on the counting process.
He wasn’t in the Oval Office, and I don’t see any part of that oath where he swears not to be a pig at work.
As far as the lying part, he wasn’t lying about a thing that was in any way illegal or a danger to the Republic.
What business did these “investigators” even have asking him about such a thing?
Resigning in disgrace? Seriously?
BTW a lie told under oath is not necessarily perjury.
Notice that Clinton beat the proceeding, because most people could see it for what it was, a flagrant attempt to remove a duly elected president for political reasons.
For some reason some believe to this day, that a president who commits adultery is breaking some kind of unwritten law.
I agree Beryl. Lots Presidents commit adultery and all Presidents lie about all kinds of things. Personally, I despise the Clintons. But for the greater good of the Republic there should have been a higher bar to initiating impeachment.
Now we see the consequences. Impeachment everytime the House opposing party has a hissy fit and a bare majority of votes.
The Republicans may get a majority in November. Start making a list of every lie Bedpan Biden has uttered. There must be hundreds.
I used to drive an 18 wheeler.
I was arrested in the Jim Crow south for marching for civil rights
I was arrested in South Africa for marching to release Nelson Mandella
I was appointed to Annapolis, but declined to attend.
Everytime he flaps his gums, more lies come out.
@b.o.o.
The resident in the Whitehouse must hold a security clearance.
Having sex with interns while being married is cause to lose said clearance as is lying under oath.
The other part of this was he had sex with her in the oval office!
He was also reported to masturbate and shoot the load into the garbage can.
Bill Clinton is a scumbags scumbag but even he seems to fall far short of the current resident.
No sure what part of this you don’t understand but there it is.
I understand dirtbags have sullied the office before but they were not called into the carpet for it.
Bill had far more cause to be fired than Donald.
Security clearance, Benr?
When the military is holding drag queen contests and there is a tranny as Health Secretary and a dog-boy fetishist as some other high official (forget which one)?
At this point I can’t imagine what would constitute a “security risk” in this country.
It used to be said that the only scandal that would get rid of a politician would be being found with a live boy or a dead girl, but the Franklin boys night-time tours of the White House and the Joe Scarborough dead intern in his office put the lie to that old saying.
No he was not in the Oval Office. No he would not lose his security clearance for fooling around with a young woman who also had a security clearance.
What part of “not a crime” do you not get?
@paula
You but point out the obvious fall even since the alleged rapist Bill Clinton got away with perjury.
The Security clearance is the biggest joke going right now.
How anyone is ever denied one is beyond me at this point.
Paula that was a zinger.
I suspect a lot of us weren’t Republicans at the time of the Clinton impeachment. I wasn’t, at any rate. Not really a Republican now either, but everything has been inverted since then and it’s now the lesser of the evils on offer.
Right now, the chief difference is it’s the Democrats allowing cities to be destroyed.
That’s a significant difference.
Wrong!! He was impeached for lying about it!!!!
He had sexual relations with a subordinate in a government office and lied about it!
That’s why he was impeached!
Imagine if any other government employee was taking advantage of interns in the office. What a dumb populace, no wonder we are where we are
Yes Edge Lord some people will NEVER understand.
Clinton was impeached for perjury.
Yes. And Martha Stewart went to prison for lying to FBI investigators over some trivial matter in a case where there was determined to be no crime committed.
Lawfare is a method of targeting persons you want to screw over. Stalin’s security chief once said, “show me the man, I’ll find the crime.”
Ah, the deep state, what on earth would we be without them, I mean after all what would we be without Putin to blame all our woe’s on. Trump didn’t do a damn thing the four years he was in office except give the 1% a huge tax cut including himself, hide in his bunker while the BLM did over a billion dollars worth of damage to the cities, and tweet fake news, fake news like some kid on a playground or a bird in a cage, in reality Trumps as much of the deep state as the rest of the 1% and three letter agencies. You were coned by the conman from NYC, but aren’t intelligent to know it. The wars still raged the weapons kept flowing into Ukraine, the working class was no better off, in fact worse off due to the tariffs on China which drove up the price’s the government were the ones who made out. And you’re still whining about something that you should have done years ago when you had the chance to vote for someone who could/would have done something for the country, and it will be no different this time as you will send the same old thieves and crooks that make up the congress back for another term.
Trump did stay out of wars, seek peace with Russia, and try to withdraw from Afghanistan…
He got us out of the expensive and phony Paris Accord. He didn’t do enough to get us a closed border, but the Republicans tried to hinder him on that as much as the Democrats did.
He did quite a number of smaller things that we his supporters were pleased with.
If you want a more comprehensive list of his accomplishments, look at the stacks of documents they were setting in front of Joe, in his first days in office.
Biden was undoing everything Trump did.
I don’t buy that left populist prognosis that Trump was more of the same. He opened up Nationalist faction in the Republican party that was always there, but he strengthened it over the older Neo-conservative ruling class faction. He was guilty of trying to appease it because the Neo-cons and Neo-libs were 90% of the Elite in the federal govt. This is common knowledge of course, but Trump was and still is important for the Nationalist/Populist right to still be relevant in electoral politics. Even if we fail it will be done in plain view of the National Public which might compel fence sitters to draw certain conclusions. I like DeSantis and Abott like allot of folks, but Trump still has my vote for now.
This pack of TDS lies, right out of the MSM needs addressed
Trump did one main thing during his four years, he kept the globalists at bay from taking over the US economy, especially the AGW folks that are currently shutting down the US.
The tax cut did move dollars down to the middle class, but dot forget that encouraging company and corporate growth increases jobs which Joe is claiming credit for right now.
Trump went after the whole St. George BLM era, giving blame on both sides. He also knew that his talking on the subject would just ignite things any more. Sometimes silence is golden.
The Twitter thing is such a joke, I am surprised you bring it up. For years, people complained, especially the MSM that the WH did not communicate enough. So you get a president that discussed issues almost daily and he is excoriated for it. In my observation, he mostly answered attack from the Leftist bullshit lying screen that was always in play.
The Ukraine became a morass of Biden corruption during Trump’s years, well documented like Watergate was. The working class enjoyed the lowest unemployment rates in history, especially minorities. He wisely used tariffs to control the Obama inspired take over of the US manufacturing economy, he should have cut the SOBs off at the knees to bring back our economy.
You have been conned by a MSM that is so Left, actually progressive. You may believe that a Bernie inspired globalist takeover of the country is a good thing, I see it as a collapse of American excellence.
C’mon, CFN, do not let this Leftist apologist make lies center place to this blog.
I think that Trump could have used Twitter far more to his advantage. If he had explained his policies, instead of sniping at opponents, it would have been better.
However I still am glad that he didn’t start any new wars, he tore up the TPP on his first day in office and he protected girls by signing a decree to keep boys out of their locker rooms and sports.
I have no idea who bluedog thinks would have been better. Nickname aside, surely he doesn’t mean HRC?
I voted for Jill Stein. Maybe he means her.
It is possible that Trump DID use Twitter to discuss his policies and I just don’t know it because I am not on Twitter and the mockingbird media only talked about the sniping.
If anyone knows, I would be interested.
The big thing Trump did that was instantly forgotten was to kill the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
This would have set up an unaccountable body under the control of global corporations able yo over-ride national sovereignty.
The Paris accord was a mere bagatelle in comparison.
Bluedog, that won’t work here. Every one of us could answer each of these charges, but it’s been done before and would be a waste of our time to try to keep telling someone who refuses to know. Whatever his failings, Trump did many things of value, and we could all list most of them. The most certain indicator that he isn’t part of the Deep State is to be seen clear as day in the myriad of ways they attempted to undo or block every single thing he did while in office, while pursuing him on a personal level with absurd lawsuits and impeachments. If you think that’s how the Deep State rewards those who serve it, you are even more confused than you appear to be.
Whatever his failings, – Rowdy
===========
Trump’s failings were/are twofold:
1. His revolting narcissism
2. His revolting New York accent of the Queens borough variety. (Bernie S. also has a revolting NY accent but it is from a different borough… Brooklyn) They could only be worse if they were from Staten Island or the Bronx. (Why do we always say THE Bronx? Is Bronx plural and the singular is Bronk? Curious people want to know.)
You know Q, I was wondering where your loyalties lie, Philly or NYC? I’m gonna say Philly, even tho you didn’t know who the Chicken Man was.
Incoherence, thy name is bluedog.
Best thing to do is ignore it all, watch “Lost” again and check how bad the ratings were.
Wednesday night
Jimmy Kimmel finally will have a funny joke on his program
President Joseph Biden!
Do you think Kimmel will ask any tough questions? Like what year is it, what city are we in?
What flavor ice cream he ate that night?
I’ll go with the ice cream question.
Taste is subjective and although some people might be licking their tv screens, they still won’t understand the true flavor.
Can you repeat the following numbers after me: 4 6 2 5 9 1 7?
Now repeat the following number backwards: 3 5 4 2 6 1?
Now way he could do digits forward or backward.
But he should have a neurocognitive test BY AN INDEPENDENT examiner,
not a communist stooge.
“What day of the week is it?”
He makes me sick.
If I were Kimmel I would hand Biden an I-phone and ask him to show how he text fights with his wife. Does he use his thumbs or hunt and peck?
Does anybody suck more Dem a$$ than late night TV talk show hosts?
You know it’s bad when we have to point to Bill Maher as the voice of reason.
Although I usually ignore him, I was really angered by Bill Maher’s rant about the lawlessness and ruination of San Francisco. Up to a point, everything he said was on target, but he just had to placate the lunatic left by dragging Trump into it at the end, knowing full well that Trump was not the one who allowed BLM to trash the city or enacted laws forbidding the arrest of criminals.
We all know that if Trump had sent troops into these cities at the height of the riots, he would have been pilloried for that as well. I don’t mind calling out anyone for what they have actually done or failed to do. But to single someone out for blame no matter what they do (even things you would praise if someone else did them) is a characteristic of the left that is particularly loathesome.
Yes. Maher pretends otherwise, but in the end he always bends the knee to PC.
Some think what he’s really doing is warning the Left when they’ve gone too far…for now.
The dial it back, but only for a period of time.
Maher is not a stupid man, I don’t know what it is about Donald Trump that bothers him so.
Maybe because Maher supported Barack Obama, so he has to keep up the pretense that at least his guy was better than Trump?
His guy was a commie front man, bent on destroying America.
@ BackRowHeckler:
Does anybody suck more Dem a$$ than late night TV talk show hosts?
Kamala Harris
Not ass, and I don’t think party affiliation matters.
Kamala? I’m not sayin’ she’s a whore, but she’s been cocked more times than John Wayne’s shotgun.
Very good, RT.
“against the rules”
When the rules are broken during the game, you must make a big enough fuss to get thrown out of the game. It is a moral imperative.
That Nancy Pelosi was allowed by the minority party to break those rules says more about the minority party than it does Nancy Pelosi.
We knew she was a scorpion when we agreed to help her across the water.
The law will be used against you until you submit.
There are no more rules.
Who kept voting her in all these years? Gays and liberal women. The enemy within by any sane standard. Just two of many.
It was Paul Ryan who enabled her to regain her high position.
Although he could be gay and I just don’t know it. Right?
I’m all for rules (though there’s way too many),
But I sure don’t like rulers!
Who seeks to subvert this republic of ours Jim? Why, who is the Lord of Chaos? Yup the Cast Out One, Satan himself. He is the one who is worshipped by these ruling elite at their Bohemian Grove celebrations and who promote the blood sacrifices to Moloch. There is only One that can and will defeat him and his movement and until He returns, things are going to keep getting worse.
You may or may not believe in the devil, that is your choice, but I assure you that the ruling elite ALL not only believe but worship him as well. It is pure, raw evil and so are they.
The Bohemian Grove is small potatoes now, minor players.
Look at the WEF and Bilderberg, DAVOs just convened and Bilderberg is going on right now.
No press allowed, hugely tight security.
Then just for a “laugh”, watch Bond’s Quantum of Solace. Hmmm.
I keep saying the WEF is SPECTRE brought to the real world.
It’s always been a big web, many compartments. For one thing, that hides the united agenda of all these players. Secondly, you always compartmentalize a big operation for security reasons.
But make no mistake, there is one big spider web. And one big spider sitting at its center. The incompetent clowns we see in the news are clearly not running things.
The Grove is for fun. and networking.
The Queen and the pope dont show so its a B lister thing but high Bs. B+ to use a school grade term.
It’s a small sub-cult, part of the larger Satanic one.
I sometimes — no, often — wonder if we should not fight evil with evil.
As in using (real) black magic against those miscreants, for example.
Imagine summoning demons to take them out, one by one. Oughta be great.
Yes, we fight guns with other guns. Liberals then say, See? Fascism and Communism are the same. They both use guns.
But on the higher level, it might not quite work that way, with the means becoming the end. The same can even happen even at the mundane level as war is very corrupting.
Traditional Christians used imprecations or prayers of destruction against their enemies. That’s been almost completely deleted since the modernist take over. Is this dark enough for you? To call down Judgement?
I once heard a black guy say ” I’ll put a curse you ajax won’t take off.”
Maybe use (real) white magic to fight them.
The summoning demons things backfires.
Many christians have not realized the authority they have been given.
“He that believes on me, the works that I do, he shall do also; and greater works shall he do; because I go to my Father.”
It is not magic, but authority.
@ LagingRunatic:
Yes, the thing to remember about demons is that they are your enemies–unequivocally so. They are interested in doing you harm and not good. Summoning their aid against an oppressive system is like summoning Bolsheviks to overcome the Czar. And this can’t be done without becoming a demon, yourself, rather along the lines of Strelnikov.
You’re right, Walter B. It doesn’t matter if you believe or don’t believe in an actual personification of evil. If a description of the devil at work is also a complete and accurate description of present reality, your response must be the same as if the devil is real. And, whether the elite worship him or not, their actions are indistinguishable from those of someone who does worship him, and are therefore effectively the same.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of [a]the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Therefore,
we must use spiritual weapons, NOT carnal.
Our so called ‘republic’ is DONE. The US Corporation is bankrupt. The ‘court’ system is completely corrupt. America no longer exists as a unified entity. There is irreconcilable hatred of some parts of the former country vs others, and between groups trapped in the ‘wrong’ part. It is only a matter of time before the midwest/southeast portion of the former USA forms its own new country (at least 10 states have secession committees now), and lets the rest of the former US form whatever entities it can patch together, or just turn into complete shitholes worse than they are now.
Neurodoc said: “It is only a matter of time before the midwest/southeast portion of the former USA forms its own new country.”
I think I’ve discussed the theories of Igor Panarin here before….the Russian political scientist who predicted the breakup of the US along ideological lines.
I don’t think links are allowed any longer so I’ll try to post one below.
borderlandjournal.com/essays/#20210825a
Panarin’s theory
If the US were a petri dish watched over by a disinterested researcher, then yes, secession would be a natural outcome to our current situation. But it isn’t.
Everything is carefully stage managed. The fake “insurrection” and now the fake hearings that follow it are evidence that nothing is left to chance – or the people.
Nature always finds a way…
Noting left to chance? The Russian SMO was outside the beltways wished-for outcomes. Then you have Gonzalo’s Lira’s view that mainland Europe will turn away from the US in order to survive since their economy simply cannot function without Russian energy and food. The notion of a sharp curtailment in US – west Europe interaction will have consequences of a type and extent I cannot predict.
Goodle: Another Lira: What Happens To Europe When Russia Wins Saker
I agree. Europe deserting the US is part of the plan.
Complying with US sanctions will cripple Europe. Mostly peaceful immigrants will burn Europe to the ground to keep warm this winter unless Europe turns to Russia for life-support. I can see the governments of Europe letting that fire burn for awhile – as long as it is the immigrants and not the natives keeping warm. It will be interesting to see at what point Europe is allowed to abandon the US to wed itself to Eurasia. Europe is ruled by the Europeans no more than the US is ruled by its people.
Sometimes a plan is the name people give to the evolution of a force over which they have no sway. Like people waking up.
California and Oregon as a new nation state with the U.S. taking a corridor from the Mexican border to 75-100 miles north to keep San Diego as a naval base. Then an African American nation state in the south to the east of Texas to the Atlantic excluding parts of Florida but including the Carolinas and eastern Virginia and Maryland, Washington DC and Delaware. You want an ideological division of the US this will do it. 80% of Blacks vote democratic and soon most of the west coast does to. Compensation for people having to move could be more than generous for Property and effort and upheaval and could be done over 50-75 years or whatever number of years to ease transition. The still very large and powerful UNITED STATES OF AMERICA which will be more homogenous politically and ethnically since by then the southern border in Texas and to the west will be controlled as opposed to open.MY American utopiahttps://www.censusscope.org/us/map_nhblack.gif
Blacks get no part of Florida at all. The Hispanics take the southern part and can decide what to do with the Black non-Hispanics. The rest goes to Florida Man – or Whites. We keep the Gulf Coast entire, all the way to New Orleans. We have to keep SSL in the White.
Maybe this White nation can join with White Texas. Maybe not.
The division is not as you suggest. It is, in fact, blue cities versus red rural areas. If you look at it in that way, you realize how impossible such a division would be. Maine – for instance – is considered a blue state because of Portland and Augusta, but it’s decidedly red everywhere rural. This is true even of Vermont, which presents as red because of Burlington and the colleges; in the country, it’s firmly red. Same for rural Pennsylvania, which is pretty much the ideological opposite of Philadelphia.
I agree with you. Your comments today are very good and make sense.
Yes, a valid point. But in some places, the blue extends well beyond the cities – as in Southern New England. In some places, the cities form megaplexuses and extend a long way – such as the East Coast down from Boston to Washington. Or the Seattle megaplex.
In other places, the cut off is quite sharp. Illinois is a red state dominated by Chicago. Pennsylvania is a midwestern state dominated by the East Coast megaplex, aided by a few other large cities.
the cities form megaplexuses – Jarek
===========
I just checked for you… the plural of megaplex is megaplexes.
Well, in my RI county, the people voted for Trump in both the 2016 and the 2020 elections
I meant to say Vermont was blue except for Burlington and the Colleges. But yes – Boston has eaten the surrounding areas. Anyway, my point was that the lines would be impossible to draw in a way that would satisfy anyone, with the possible exception of carving off a part of California or Oregon.
Thanks buddy.
Rowdy: Yet we must. We must perform the alchemy of separation, no matter what the cost or pain. Those that aren’t willing to move to be with their own will rue it – until they are forced to move as the Volga Germans were – with millions of them dying in the ethnic violence, the revenge taken by the Slavs. All after the outbreak of “peace”.
I really get tired of everyone just handing the South over to blacks. It is as you say Piglet. Separate the urban areas from Georgia and it’s as red as it gets and that includes a large portion of blacks.
What’s to be done with the white trash component? There is no giving areas away to this one and that one. If we make it real uncomfortable the sorry assed ones can just move. I’m not giving one inch of my home.
I whole heartedly agree farmgal. I don’t like the idea of handing the South over to blacks either. I am a bred, born and raised Georgia boy and I love the South, even the heat and humidity. Like minded people must band together and work for a common future. Whatever happens, it is going to be hard, maybe impossible, but it will take a lot of cold, hard, steely resolve and may even somehow include some blacks in the scenario, but with the current racial climate, I don’t see how.
Amen. Tennessee has 95 counties, 93 of which are deep red, two are blue: Memphis and Nashville.
TN legislature was transformed to deep red after Obama’s two destructive terms.
Nobody is handing anything to blacks. They were in America 150 years before the Non-Latin, Anglo Europeans arrived in Jamestown. And 400 years before the dumb eastern Slavic f-cks arrived. You better recognize your estimation of their rights and status.
The main difficulty involved in secession is that every state’s urban areas constitute a “fifth column.” And there is a lot of federal-government dependency, even in rural areas. Think: ag subsidies, government employment, social security, and welfare.
My area is in the exurbs of Kansas City. It appears to me that an awful lot of its more affluent residents are government employees/retirees. It is also helpful to remember that a true “private sector” scarcely exists any more.
If Missouri were to secede, almost all that federal money goes away: no welfare, no food stamps, no ag subsidies, no businesses subsidies, no federal funding for schools (which would cut school funding roughly in half), local governments, and medical care. Theoretically, the social security checks would keep coming, but I can see those being cut off as a punitive measure.
The whole state would be plunged into chaos.
Agreed, Neuro. Even if conservatives capture all the high ground in ’24, it won’t change a thing because 50% of the nation will still hate everything America stands for. I cannot see any other option but some kind of secession. I don’t see it being peaceful, either, because leftists don’t understand “live and let live”.

“Watch Rep. Adam Kinzinger turn on the waterworks. Take it all in and ask yourself: who exactly seeks to subvert this republic of ours?”
It’s the central question, isn’t it?
Notice that the same virulent anti-Russian war mongers like Cheney and Kinzinger are also Jan.6th proponents.
There is a relationship between the pro-war faction in the government, and those obsessed with Jan.6th.
These people and others are members of the Deep State. They are attempting to create this fake patriotism with war against Russia.
Good observation.IMHO, these RINO Deep State types are just supporting the MIC in the swamp. Jack Keane makes me nauseous.
The long range missile situation with Biden right now is demonstrating how the NATO bunch will just continue to push Russia until a final explosion happens. I think a Satan 2 missile on the White House might be a possible First Strike by Putin.
We, self admittently, have no countermeasure against the hypersonic missile. I guess the MIC has forgotten this fact.
Biden’s in that bunker across the street, isn’t he?
I think he’s in a room in a nursing home, dressed up as the Oval Office
If the Russians take out Washington, DC I think a majority of the country would say “Thank you Putin!”
“We, self admittently, have no countermeasure against the hypersonic missile.”
Yep, that’s what I understand.
Goodbye aircraft carriers.
Kinzinger is a bad guy.

The subversion is complete. This will be proven by the end of the year when the election doesn’t go the way honest people hope it will, no matter how hard they cast their votes.
You might want to get really drunk on selection night, ’cause on November 2nd, all your Dumbocrat friends are going to be unbearable (yes, even more so than usual), rubbing their “overwhelming election mandate” in your face.
Masked up, locked down, freezing and starving, waiting for the Vaxx, monkeypox, boobaholic plague, advanced global warming, alien invasion, round up of the deplorables, or the latest crisis du jour to end it all.
Crisis du jour?
How about 12 shootings since Friday?
Any body coordinating this national debacle?
The hearings will only serve to further polarize an already divided populace.
When I read of possible 2nd amendment revisions/eliminations, I am not comforted by the fact that this hearing even exists, the encouragement of riots fomented by the storm troops of the left, and the forced vaccinations.
Yes, murder is horrible but don’t restrict the rights of the 99.999% because a literal handful of deranged individuals are not checked by their own families/society.
If we lose the 2nd, there is nothing standing in the way of some REAL authoritarianism…folks on the left don’t believe that they benefit from that scimitar hanging over the heads of our “leaders” but they do.
Trump did stay out of wars, seek peace with Russia, and try to withdraw from Afghanistan…
Speaking of the 2020 ‘insurrection’, I always thought that bare-chested gentleman who wore a horned helmet and painted the American flag on his face was rather handsome. Kept fantasizing about him as some kind of fantasy hero. Would have loved to invite this charming dude home for some tea. Pity I live in faraway Singapore.
He isn’t even a Trump supporter, he was just there.
He walked around in a building and touched things.
Granting that is so, he was still rather cute. 🙂
Someone who spoke with him there, said he was a really nice guy.
“He walked around in a building and touched things.” If he were black, that would be considered acceptable, even commendable, behavior. The hearing would instead be about Capitol Police depriving Black Horny Guy of his rights by asking him if it is his house that he is walking through and his things that he is touching.
In a building that belongs to the people of the USA.
In a good time, the “law makers” would have faced the crowd and slowed down the advance outside the Capitol.
Instead, they were all hiding inside the building.
They should repaint all the hallways yellow!
That was the point of the protesters and the ex-military I met who entered the Capitol. It wasn’t an insurrection, it was a badly needed civics lesson.
“He walked around in a building and touched things.” No, Beryl, that’s Biden.
And as so much national psychic energy gets tied up in rehashing a phony event that – in the final analysis – didn’t really accomplish anything, the deconstruction of everyday life will proceed apace. A controlled demolition now out of control. Bread & circuses, without the bread.
It’s a runaway train.
Even the circuses are becoming… Bleugh. Yuck.
It’s the ending of Thelma & Louise, applied to the nation writ large.
You forgot to add “millions of illegals invading our country along with Cartel missionaries” to your litany of current challenges. Just sayin.
Yeah! And why aren’t these people in the dock with the Jan. 6 “invaders”?????

The US military has the world’s finest fighting pregnant trans-men.
You people worry too much. The US wasn’t going to last forever; the only variables were when and how. Well, now we know: the when is now, and the how is playing out as we type.
Whites are concentrating in Trump states/counties, and blue zones are open to a flood of immigrants. Overshoot, depletion and degradation have set the framework for scarcity, exposing the rot of 100 year surplus.
Knowing full well the coming collapse, the unitary is attempting to utilize the existing federal apparatus to implement control and restraint systems to help them maintain power.
Traditional independent Americans will decide those conditions are unacceptable, and will move to resist such orders and mandates. The conclusion is as obvious as it is/was inevitable.
Be careful mitch, your privilege is showing again. I looked up Ugly American in the dictionary, and sure enough, there was your picture. Exceptionalism’s not a good look for anyone, not even you.
You inform us that we worry too much, and then set out a list of undeniably real things that any sane person would worry about. I’m not at all convinced that these purported “traditional independent Americans” in whose existence you believe will put up a serious resistance when they have not done so thus far. It’s a bit late to resist when you’re on your way to the re-education camp. You also forget (not that you would care) that a possibly high percentage of people who comment here are past an age where we’re still active out in the wider world. I suppose you consider anyone past a certain age as a useless eater anyway, but you may feel differently when you reach that age yourself (if you do).
Ah, but how will they move to resist?
Individuals and families will resist with whatever means are available to them in their particular circumstances, so the forms of resistance will be highly variable.
The simplest option, and the one that will cause the least upheaval, is to simply refuse to comply, and there are many parts of the US where this is and will continue to be feasible. If it gets to where it’s no longer feasible, you might have to figure out whether it’s feasible to move to somewhere where it IS feasible.
I just got back from a trip to Morgan County Seeds, an Amish-run seed and garden supply store in Barnett, Missouri, which is well into Amish country amidst a solidly Germanic population. It’s a different world down there. But I suppose that, like the Holy Spirit, the Satanic spirit “bloweth where it listeth,” and even the most peaceful, fruitful, and verdant of worlds may be blighted.
There may or may not be a safe haven–somewhere.
Would I fight for my home? That would depend on whom I was fighting. Thieves? The county sheriff? The US army? It would also depend on my estimate of the likelihood of winning–which would depend on dozens of other factors.
If I didn’t believe I could win, I would “get out of Dodge”–with an eye to making a well planned and well executed exit to a more promising location–preferably with my worldly goods as intact as possible.
Millions of people would be making these same calculations, based on millions of unique circumstances. The conclusion is thus neither obvious nor inevitable.
“But I suppose that, like the Holy Spirit, the Satanic spirit “bloweth where it listeth,” and even the most peaceful, fruitful, and verdant of worlds may be blighted.”
Very true.

I read the news today oh boy…
Actually I saw one local news story and a letter to the editor a few days before that.
The news story was about a woman who died suddenly in what should have been a minor mishap.
The letter to the editor actually gave me a chuckle. Some suburbanite was freaking out over kids getting prizes at a festival, that looked like foam rubber AR-15s.
Okay it didn’t give me a chuckle, it gave me a belly laugh, a real guffaw. It brought a smile to the face of a person I shared it with.
The purpose of Government is to ensure its’ own existence.
You get the Government you deserve, let the looting resume.
Interesting observation.
Do you think the FF that wrote the Declaration and the Constitution thought the government should ensure its own existence.
Just the opposite! If a government is bad, it can be changed every two years. It is Deep State corruption that has changed this.
It is NOT their purpose, their purpose is to be supplicant to the people. That is how far the creeps have driven this country.

I like it! We’ve been reluctant or unable to use the tactics they use against us. The most effective of those has been manipulation of the language. When we belatedly catch on to one of their plans and recognize it for what it is, they regroup and rebrand. That’s how the word “organic” is redefined as whatever suits Monsanto, and “vaccine” becomes whatever Pfizer says it is. Since we seem to be catching onto CRT, it’s in the process of acquiring a different acronym for the same old indoctrination.
Also redefined – “herd immunity” and “woman”.
Another thing that has been re-defined: “flattening the curve”

Ghislaine Maxwell hasn’t been sentenced yet. My guess is she will get time served.
We don’t even know if she was really locked up like they say she was.
Elon Musk has been asking questions about the Epstein client list.
“Elon Musk has been asking questions about the Epstein client list.”
Questions like, “My name has been scratched out, hasn’t it?”
No, Musk is asking why that list is more carefully guarded than nuclear secrets…But we just found out that Epstein/Maxwell visited the Clinton WH many times with girls in tow…
There is zero evidence that he was on that list.
It was Ghislaine Maxwell’s job to pose for pictures with famous people at parties.
There’s a Twitter thread going around the internet that once again tries to tie Donald Trump to Epstein, but that has been effectively refuted, or you would have seen him being impeached over it.
They didn’t rely on true facts for the other two impeachments, why would they need that allegation to be true?
More likely is that the politicians and the msm don’t mention Epstein’s list. Too embarrassing for them.

The historical recklessness of the Chinese tends to work both for and against them. You hear of the business successes of the diaspora, now marshaled by the PRC into improbable corners like Argentina and Angola; Chinese adventurers suffer catastrophic failures as well. But they roll with them.
Maoism dampened such exuberance for several decades, or rather channeled it into worship of a defective dictator. Once the native entrepreneurial spirit of a gambling race was let loose, under Done Shopping, they went to town and stoked up the China we see today – not to mention the great fortunes of the overseas Chinese – something like “a cloud of floating trillions” to [mis]-quote the erudite and brilliant Sterling Seagrave in LORDS OF THE RIM.
One main reason they are able to steamroller over more cautious (prudent) local peoples wherever they set up shop is a willingness to go big or go bust. The chase is the point.
Those trying desperately to steer and contain the culture into a timeline of their making will find the premier and run of their “Jan 6” show a big failure.
Along with this not mattering to many the fact is very few people watch tv these days. Also summer is nearly here and the opportunity to block out the political static will be too enticing.
The controllers know they’re in a different climate and atmosphere yet they don’t know how to do anything different then they’ve always done. It’s why things are so obvious to us. It’s why things seem so weird.
It feels like we have to wait for *them* to crash and burn before we can move on.

JAN 6 PRIMETIME SHOW WANTS TO OVERHAUL VOTING: The House committee investigating the Jan 6 Capitol Hill protest is struggling to reach a consensus on their recommendations. Instead, lawmakers will use their highly produced primetime broadcast to reintroduce abolishing the electoral college, overhaul the Electoral Count Act, pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and the For the People Act. Rep. Cheney (R-WY) said the committee risks losing credibility by suggesting outlandish responses. – D.M.
Hmmm…abolish the Electoral College..overhaul the Electoral Count Act, and pass t he John Lewis Voting Rights act
…What could possibly go wrong?
I’ve mentioned it before, Mr. Kunstler is known to the mainstream, if he can get this good a grip on current events, what is wrong the the MSM?
Here is Emerald Robinson’s take:
“The problem with American corporate journalism today is that its “reporters” are the least curious people on earth. They do no homework. They fact-check nothing. They have no subject expertise in any field. They’re cowards who write with the constant fear that one stray sentence about a Democrat politician can end their career. Facts don’t matter to them — if they lead to an inconvenient ideological outcome.”

Naomi Wolf is banned from Twitter again.
They will go to any length to suppress what the jab is doing to mothers and infants.
What was the reason?
Which holy cow did she skewer?
“Misinformation”.
What’s interesting is after we all saw the reactions of the Twits who run Twitter, at the idea that Elon Musk might take over and establish free speech, it is unfathomable that their little clique even knows. much less cares, about scientific accuracy.
So who is behind the banning? Is it Pfizer? Or is it the US government, which makes it illegal and unconstitutional?
She’s complaining about the unholy cows who are skewering their infants with the Jab.
That lady is a true heroine. Total respect. Compare here to that piece of cr+p, Chomsky, now shilling for WW3.

In today’s political environment, one wonders if Britney Spears could even come out today with a song entitled “I’m A Slave 4 U”. Since the Dixie Chicks changed their name to simply The Chicks, then I guarantee this would be a foregone conclusion.
This is likely why this Britney song does not seem to get play time on the radio stations anymore.
RE: the Dixie Chicks. Isn’t the word “chicks” rather sexist? That just leaves them with “The”. Not sure that has the same allure as Butthole Surfers or Twisted Sister, but who knows what turns lefties on.
The Chicks formerly known as Dixie have had it. If they retreat to “The” they will be chased off by a revitalized The The, leaving them as ” “. Unless…
Reclaim the original name. Switch the words around: Chix With Dix. Get invited to the White House for a pajama party. Win a grammy.
Judeo/Christian Old Testament predates all the Johnny-come-lately philosophic writings; notably, carried through from Mosaic times (Pentateuch) via strict protocols for copy scribes. See the ‘Isaiah Scroll’ account in the “Dead Sea Scroll” narrative.
In O.T book of Daniel see chapter 4 mention of “Great Tree”, analogous to the exemplary influence of New World/USA founding documents on the affairs of mankind. Note “Great Tree” brought to edge of destruction in Chapter 4 RSV translation. Certainly looks like USA is in such a precarious state about now. Then look at Deuteronomy Chapter 28, verses 14-15, giving account of transition from a blessed to a cursed period. Shedding innocent blood… Food Distribution is a harbinger and means of removing populations leaving intact infrastructure.

Judaism was a corruption of the teachings of the Prophets that came about after the captivity in Babylon.

Centuries later the Khazars took over and now Smorgasbord Religion ru[i]ns the world [ system ].
What on earth are you putting in your oatmeal?
Last time I heard something like this was from a blue lipped homeless lunatic breathing paint from a paper bag. He was also wearing tap shoes. How’s your heel toe heel toe tap step stomp?
Shuffle-ball-change is the metaphor you are looking for.
Forget the hearts and minds. When inflation goes off the charts, people ALWAYS vote with their wallets. If the left tries to change the election results this time then civil war will truly be here live and in person. The purple gang in the middle will vote with their pocketbooks when Biden’s handlers ( Obama & Co.) do this much damage.
It would be ironic if we were saved by our love of comfort and desire for money, but this thought does give me hope that we won’t put up with this indefinitely. People really won’t choose lining the pockets of the Biden family (disguised as liberating Ukraine) over their own lives. When they can’t afford a place to live, cannot keep warm in winter or afford to eat, they’ll do more than attempt to vote them out or remove the stupid little Ukraine flags from their twitter profiles. Even people who seem totally inert will perk up surprisingly and do all sorts of unlikely things when they get sufficiently scared and hungry.
Yep. People are total sheep – but even the sheep will revolt when they see their kids going hungry.
I think they are far less likely to revolt than to go on a looting and rioting spree. They’ll target stores until the stores are empty, and then they’ll target their neighbors. And after that they’ll target their increasingly distant neighbors.
You are very unlikely to see leftists embrace “The Gods of the Copybook Headings,” when politics, to them, are nothing more or less than a mechanism for stealing other people’s stuff. When they’re scared and hungry, other people’s stuff will be far more attractive to them than politicians’ promises.
Message to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre:
STEP 1: Remove mop from head.
STEP 2: Speak in coherent sentences.
STEP 3: Get to the point already and tell us that Biden is really an automaton being run by an evil cabal of elites.
STEP 4: Thank everyone for playing along and wish us good luck in our future endeavors as the former USA States splinter off into more politically cohesive breakaway regions.
Step 5: Admit that you are a race obsessed, affirmative action mediocrity, promise to leave the building and to never return, and then do so. Get some honest work more in line with you real capacity. No more race hustling and guilt tripping gullible, mentally ill White liberals.
There’s a replacement of black Americans going on that no one seems to notice.
How many times have we seen “the first black _____” filled by someone not of American heritage? Kamala Harris, Karine, even the first black president, none of these people have an American black parent.
They’re doing the jobs American blacks can’t do.
Well put. Amen.
“action mediocrity, promise to leave the building and to never return, and then do so. ”
Maybe as a bra model.
I meant, find a job maybe as a bra model.

Who is the audience for this? Lesbians?
What does her girl friend think of this, I wonder . . .
Oh, I haven’t seen this or her below the podium. Is she is a full figure girl? Like AOC?

Americans are so degraded. People today just don’t have the toughness, grit, mettle, and high survival potential that they had in the past. I guess character, virtue, integrity, et al all slowly erode away as the new generations of humanity come onto the planet.
Any sane, survival-oriented, citizenry would’ve marched on Wash DC decades ago and ousted the corrupt, the criminal, the incompetent and purged and restored (reformed and implemented new policy to prevent the past usurpations, manipulations, etc.) this system from going by the boards again.
I say, PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES!!
Bro they put you in a DC gulag provided you can get close to the forbidden palace of fenced off DC, but that’s if you really want to leave home I mean have you seen the new streaming shows on right now? Only antifa and blm is approved to mostly peacefully protest anyway
Not if it was 5 million armed Americans. The DC police, the Capital Police, the National Guard would just move aside and let “we the people” take care of business, take care of THEIR capital, THEIR government, and purge all the interlopers from the system.
They’ve divided the nation to ensure that this couldn’t happen. It is what should happen.
Take back your government or you and your progeny will be serfs for centuries.
A few weeks ago in the Middletown area an old guy showed up at the local police station and enquired about getting a serial # for a gun he and his grandson were building. Instead of giving advice the Chief applied for a search warrant and raided the property with SWAT — and found the ‘Ghost Gun’, which the local media breathlessly reported. At one time most everybody had a workshop on their property where you’d see them repairing and tinkering with things. Or you’d see them on their small farms tending to their livestock and truck gardens. Now all the farms are gone, turned into strip malls and suburban housing tracts. And having a small machine shop or forge at your place makes you a suspect. You can drive around suburban neighborhoods even on a beautiful day like today and not see one human being. Where is everybody?
“Where is everybody?” Staying safe.
As far as the “ghost” gun and so on, I can’t believe I have never heard a single comment on MSM about the truth about guns; that being, for example, when I was growing up, we had a gun ROOM. None of those guns were registered. Guess what? Those guns didn’t disappear. Nobody has mentioned the fact that there are probably a billion unregistered guns in the country.
I see homes with swing sets in the yard, where I have never, ever seen a child playing outside.
These are probably all empty homes, owned by the likes of Billy Gates, the Chinese, and Zillow. They are just keeping up appearances until the time is ripe. At that time, a new family of illegal immigrants will be granted asylum in those homes and viola, instant voting bloc for the Dems through all eternity.

This Capitol thing is, for me, the end of America. Because had I been there that day, I would have gladly walked on in with the rest, thinking, I pay for this. I wouldn’t have given it a second thought. And now I would be eating my x-hundredth prison meal? cuz I followed the crowd on in?
The Democrats do not need “to go.” They need to be prosecuted.
For me it was when the Monuments began to be pulled down — not just Confederate, but of Lincoln, TR and Columbus, and not one person in authority lifted a finger to protect them. In fact some Mayors, Governors and Police Chiefs encouraged the vandalism.
Then the George Floyd Monuments began to go up.
Yes. That just enraged me but after the rage spent itself I was left with the certainty that this was probably the end of the U.S. Too many feral, stupid people being allowed to run wild and do as their impulses dictate is something that no entity can survive. Someone either puts a stop to it – which I see no signs of happening – or that’s the end of anything resembling civilization.
Trump failed with the riots. He should have sent in the NG, and if needed, the army. In those situations, it doesn’t matter what the MSM thinks of your; you have to do your duty.
2020 was the real insurrection.
The Marxists know it, which is why they keep projecting that knowledge on J6.
Maybe, Howard. But I have a friend who was right there on the Capitol steps and when they opened it up he thought it was a trap and didn’t go in.
Your spidey-sense might have gone off.
In any case, how is it illegal to go into a public building when the doors are open?
The antifa action wasn’t on the Capitol steps, it was around the corner, with full media coverage. (Except for the patriots chanting “Antifa”. Not that part)
Paul D, You’re right that it isn’t illegal to go into a public building when the doors are open. That’s why they’re charging people (after they let them rot indefinitely in jail) with idiotic things like parading without a license, and deciding it warrants a long prison sentence. They’ve got nothing, but that’s been of no help to the people who are sitting in jail for no reason.
Oh no! I can’t type today. 🙂 I TRANSformed you, Paula, into a man. Mea culpa.
LOL it’s OK. I identify as a woman and that’s all it takes.
It’s gonna be SO hard to not watch the hearings, as mad as I know it’s going to make me. It’s like you’re driving down the freeway and suddenly a leg hits your windshield, and all you can see in the opposing lane is a fire ball and cars rolling over, people being flung out of them. “Should I look? Maybe as I take the leg off of my windshield–I might peek.”
It’s gonna be hard, but I’m getting older and heart attacks and strokes are serious concerns. I might have to get drunk first…
@Anthea and others
Last night (actually early this morning) I posted a lengthy reply to your post dated June 4 at 7:31 pm on the prior thread, Swamp Gas.
My reply is dated June 6 at 1:35 am. Since we are now on to Jim’s new essay it is likely you and others missed my post. If you and others are so inclined, please go back and read it. It fleshes out some facets of Peter’s personality that I may not have mentioned previously.
Why did you do that? Why not repost it for this week? Are you ready to admit I was right in my race realism?
” Are you ready to admit I was right in my race realism?:
Jarek,
I will so admit if you denounce Thwack as a race-baiting cracker!
No, he is an actual Afro-American, one interviewed by Mr Kunstler. Give up your prejudices and replace them with Racial Science!
You’ll be able to keep many of your pet hatreds, basing them on actual studies and statistics, not just feelings or bad experiences.
Jarek,
Sooo….If I named myself “Thwack”, would I have then been interviewed by our Host also?
Would I then be considered atypical, or archtypical of the affectation?
Just so you know…I have been called “black” all my life.
Rouge River Blacky? Did you read “You Can’t Win” by Jack Black yet? The book talks about one hobo, Montana Blacks, whose refrain was “The stool pigeon is the coming race.” He was as crazy as a bedbug but he made a fine mulligan’s stew or so it is said.

Q. Shtik:
There are a LOT of people like Peter around, and it’s unfortunate when you have to live with one of them. It’s unfortunate when you even have to live next door to one of them. Good-naturred drunks and pot-heads are very good neighbors compared to autists, tweakers, Karens and other officious types, some retards, and people who are off their meds. In the case of people who are on prescription opiates, these are not unpleasant; you just can’t have a conversation with them.
Many years ago, an old friend told me she was leaving her husband and asked if she and her two kids could stay with me. About a month later, her husband also moved in, and the whole crew stayed for another month.
My friend was not an easy person to live with, but she pulled her weight around the house. She took over all the cooking (fearing, I think, that she would starve on the type of fare my family normally ate), and could manage all five of the kids with ease, if I wasn’t there, and even get them to doing chores of various kinds.
The husband was another story. I gave considerable thought to what tasks I could assign him, so that he could make some contribution to the household. Finally I decided that he could probably cut firewood. He did cut most of it to the right length, but unaccountably decided to cut quite a bit of it so that it wouldn’t fit in the wood stove.
I quickly found work for the wife, but the husband was essentially unemployable. He also talked non-stop. He could talk without ever pausing to take a breath. Since I normally had other things to do besides listen to someone talk, I would look for an opening to excuse myself–to start dinner, do dishes, pick up kids from school, etc. No such pause ever occurred. I trained myself to overcome my innate good manners and just get up and walk out of the room without a word of explanation. (The expression on his face the first time I did this was priceless.)
Other people’s kids also have habits that are hard to put up with. My friend’s two kids threw their towels on the floor after showering, instead of hanging them up. I introduced a system of assigned personal towels. Everyone in the household was allotted two towels to last them until the next washday. If they threw theirs on the floor, they were going to have to dry themselves with a stinky towel for the rest of the week.
The whole family also walked like elephants. You’d be surprised how much that can irritate you, especially when Mom is a very big girl.
I forgot what my point was, other than to say that I sympathize. And to tell you the truth, I think that Peter is not all that atypical of the humans at large in the world. (I am pretty sure of this, in fact.)
A little over two years ago, my daughter and her husband bought the house next door to theirs, as it was offered to them for quite a bargain price, and they were on reasonably friendly terms with these neighbors. They had never seen the inside–and did not until closing. When they finally did see the interior, they found it unbelievable that anyone could live like that. And this was a couple who both had always held decent jobs and a daughter who had recently departed for college.
There are many, many people out there whose mere survival to adulthood is amazing. I suppose many of them manage because they have a spouse to look after them, who won’t let them pee in the kitchen sink.
There are a LOT of people like Peter around, – Anthea
============
I hate contemplating the thought that this^ is true but I suspect you are right. I think we are all flawed in some way and that when we know we will be dealing with other people we don a facade of normality. Peter owns one of these facades and he puts it on when he goes to a wake. Wow, I think to myself, if that person Peter is talking to only knew the REAL Peter that lies beneath the veneer.
As to people who talk and NEVER shut up………. yeah, they are a curse on humanity. I have known a few. My wife has a cousin in Denver whose husband never stops talking. It’s amazing. It’s a phenomenon to behold.
I was the superior in charge of a woman named Bobbie L. Once she got your attention you were doomed. I had a buddy who realized how Bobbie was driving me insane and we devised a plan to nip it in the bud. He would call me on the phone, I’d answer, jump up and dash out of the office, allegedly to an important meeting.
The mental image of Drag Queen Shows sponsored by the US Military at European bases made my mind wander to the gay pride flags flown by US embassies thence to the BLM flag flown by the same embassies and the thought struck:
How about a “Fuck The EU” flag?
The next thought was whether any European leaders would notice.
“How about a “Fuck The EU” flag? ”
Mybe just fly it upside down?
Is there an up and a down with the LGTBTZA+ flag? Or does anything go?
How about this flag?

Speaking of shows, what are the chances that Americans will recognize this ‘show” for what it is:
A show trial.
“a judicial trial held in public with the intention of influencing or satisfying public opinion, rather than of ensuring justice.”
Will that term, and that idea, penetrate the American skull?
Star chamber is secret.
Show trial is public.
In a few months, the living conditions in the US will be in far worse shape. Perhaps history will repeat itself and a political candidate will appear, winning the hearts and minds of the majority with the following campaign promises:
This man would pledge to create prosperity, eliminate civil disorder by crushing strikes and street demonstrations instigated by radical groups, arrest and prosecute treasonous politicians, reinstate the death penalty, round up millions of criminals and other undesirables and put them in concentration camps to await execution and use military aggression to restore the US to its previous status as a world power.
Why does Hillary have to be a man, bro?
Those platforms sound familiar.
And also why Hitler was popular with most Germans who were not in concentration camps.
It’s the economy, stupid!
Hillary will take the back door into the Whore House without making any promises.
When I woke up this morning, I lay in bed feeling very angry. I was angry about stuff going on in my condo complex that I didn’t like, I was angry about what’s going in the world, I was angry at not being able to exercise as I am recuperating, and burn off energy, I wanted to sue my condo complex and so on.
Then I thought if me, the supposedly reasonable one, can feel this angry, then how worked up are millions of others I don’t even know? I understood then why all this violence is occurring. The world is very frustrated, with no real outlet. It is a pressure cooker that can’t be turned off. Pretty soon there’ll be a massive pressure-relief explosion; then the resulting mess will be cleaned up and frustrations released.
BTW, I feel like my normal self now, but I wonder if all I’m doing is burying the anger, and that someday I will become the Yellowstone caldera.
I wonder, when more people finally wake up to what’s been done to us with the vaccines, how many of them will have nothing left to lose?
Bean, sorry, but I don’t see any anger. What I see is people living life as usual, totally oblivious to the steamroller heading their way. Continuity bias is real. The waking up will be brutal.
The anger is there, but it’s probably buried inside people and is not obvious to the bystander. Wait until they miss a few meals; you’ll see anger (really, fear) like you wouldn’t believe. I hope it never comes to that.
Bill,
If I woke up in a condominium, I, too, would wake up angry…
All I can say is, People! My issue is that I know it would be better if I lived in the mountains, but I’m a sociable sort and would really miss the human contact.
I think more people wake up frozen with fear and anxiety than they do anger. Sadly – that’s the result of having no money/future/prospects.
“spare parts are unavailable for every imaginable machine in the land”
Imagine if this also included the Dominion voting machines. Reverting to hand counting with scrutiny by all parties would be a major step forward for democracy.
Haha, that would be rich! I am sure the powers that be will properly “tally” the votes even if the machines are down. Sadly, in the next election there will be no winners that put America first.
Who ever would have thought that the times we spent paying a mere $3.00 for a gallon of gas a few months ago would be deemed the good ol’ days? I look back on those days fondly, for tomorrow it will be even worse.
Much like the idiots that believed in paying more for fuel because it was the right thing to do for the Ukraine, I argue that it is our privilege and duty to keep paying more and higher costs for everything in order to give support to over throwing the evil Democrats and the Biden regime come November.
Keep that inflation coming boys!!!
I hear Biden plans on rescuing a large number of student loan debt holders.
Ironic, because he’s a large part of the reason so many are mired in that debt.
I paid my student loan off to the penny. I’m wondering if I’ll get a refund or at least a tax credit?
Or am I just a goddam sucker?
Apparently, those who diligently kept on paying during the ‘pause’ didn’t get a break on the interest accruing. Some thought it was an opportunity to get ahead.
Exactly. I know more than one who have already paid off more than they borrowed, but still owe more than they borrowed. They pay and pay, but the amount keeps rising.
Don’t know how to explain it better, because it is too absurd to understand.
They are slaves to the compounding interest. And once you get close to paying it back they will find new fees to tack on.
The Rule of 72.
Divide 72 by the interest rate on your loan. The result is the number of years for the interest paid to equal the principle of the loan.
If your loan has an interest rate of 6%, then it takes 12 years (72 /6) for your interest paid to equal your original principle. Take 24 years to pay off that loan, and guess what? Yup, you paid twice as much in interest as you originally borrowed.
It will be deducted from your social security, should it come to that.
Didn’t you ever watch the largely forgotten film Rounders?
What I read is that Biden plans on wasting a lot of money by giving $5k of student loan forgiveness to everyone still making payments on student loans. If you’re behind and not making payments, well, you’re screwed. And if you are one of millions who are paying off a student loan bigger than a house, well, the Big Guy will pay to paint the shutters, but he ain’t about to take that empty house off your back.
A small rebate to those who pay regularly. Nothing to undo the damage caused to many individuals, and to the economy as a whole, by the student loan racket.
Biden was instrumental in making student loan debt exempt from bankruptcy. He will not undo one of his great accomplishments.

“The unravelling of the USA gets its summer steroid booster shot this Thursday when the political twerk-fest known as the January 6th Select Committee commences prime-time televising of its inquiry into the so-called “insurrection”…”
Perhaps They should begin the proceedings by stipulating that there is nothing ‘Select’ about this ‘Committee’ and that there was no such thing on that day as ‘insurrection’. But no, They won’t do that because that destroys the house-of-cards narrative They have so tirelessly worked to promote to bully the American people into utter shame for daring to question the fiasco and stench that surrounds the very stinky 2020 election.
“The objectives of this extravaganza are… to paint former president Donald Trump as an instigator of the uproar and an enemy-of-the-people…”
I have a better idea. Since the purpose of this Committee is solely to pummel the memory of a former US President, They need to simplify these ‘proceedings’…
Since Mr. Trump is the object for which all the ills of the Universe is being assessed blame for…
Just create a GREAT BIG PINATA of Himself and place it in the middle of the ’Committee’ chambers. Let the ‘Esteemed Members’ of ‘The Committee’ take turns wielding a HUGE stick and wailing-away taking swings at the Big Arrogant Orange Face that hangs ominously over ‘These Sacred Spaces’ of ‘This Esteemed Committee’.
This performance will be exceedingly more fun to watch than the predictable dead and boring speeches leading to the well-pre-determined outcome that ‘This Horrible Man Is… Horrible!’.
And maybe we can save some money on the light bill for the Chambers and quickly send that money to all Those Brave Freedom Fighters Protecting Our Nation’s Freedom From Those Nasty Viet Cong in Eastern Ukraine. Or the Huns, or whatever Our Heroes are fighting over there.
This ‘Selected Committee’ is yet another Kangaroo Court fully funded by We-The-People-Who-Are-Going-Broke-Paying-For-Gas-And-Food-And Lodging-And-Medical-Care-And…
And since ‘The Esteemed Members Of This Select Committee’ are mimicking the behavior of Kangaroos… let’s be sure there are plenty of Congressional Staff on hand to feed those Members a good selection of tasty grasses and vegetation on Their way out of Those Esteemed Chambers after beating the crap out of that defenseless Orange Pinata.
“Take it all in and ask yourself: who exactly seeks to subvert this republic of ours?”

Some might say… get your popcorn ready. But popcorn is getting scarce and expensive.
Maybe they’ll have some of that grass and vegetation left over that we could forage? YUM YUM…
@JAZ et al:
I know you like Trump, and I know your heart’s in the right place. But how can you extol someone who turns a blind eye to the sufferings of people who supported him? The 1/6 “resurrectionists” have been illegally imprisoned and tortured. Trump hasn’t done anything to help them, as far as I know. Their treatment should be a national scandal. IMO, any good that Trump did has been negated many times over by his apparent lack of concern about them. Just sayin’.
how do you know that Mr Trump has done nothing?
also, what is he to do?
he has some legal powers?
He has no legal authority, but he has a very strong media presence, and whatever he said always seemed to get publicity. If he has tried to do something, how come it hasn’t been in the media. If I find he has been trying, I’ll be very happy to apologize.
“how come it hasn’t been in the media”
===============================
come on
??
He has made a few mild statements, the latest being in North Carolina back in April.
Some believe he was slow to speak up for them because he’d been persuaded it would make things worse.
I don’t believe that for a second, Beryl.
Exactly. If Trump gave a damn about his supporters, he would have started saying something – hell, doing something, he was still President – on January 6. And he would have kept saying/doing it until those improperly imprisoned for the events of that day are released – and those improperly not imprisoned are arrested. Instead he walked away as if unaware of the events he had put in motion. Sure can’t wait for Trump to save us again.
Though Trump and his presidency was a much needed wake up call to some Americans, he is a classic example of a malignant narcissist. People with such a mental defect cannot function as as most people do. Everything they think, say or do is all about themselves and themselves only. Nothing, not family, friends, country, god absolutely nothing else matters to them and they do not have a clue and cannot be convinced that they have a problem. They are perfect creations who can do no wrong.
You know what Trump is doing because he tells you. So far, he has said next to nothing about the J6 people whom he incited into stupid acts. Nor has he spoken out about the death shot.
He still thinks that death shot is a good thing.
What stupid things were any of his supporters incited into doing? So far I have seen them charged with trespassing for entering a building that they believed they had been invited to enter.
That’s the point. They weren’t really doing much of anything. Anyway, it’s supposed to be the people’s house.
They were stupid to let themselves be lured into the building. Anyone with a brain would have known it was a set-up.
I don’t actually like Trump. He’s a flawed character, and his ego is probably his biggest fault. He failed to do some things that he probably could have done – I say “probably” because every single thing he attempted to do was attacked in every way possible. If I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, I could say that he just made a realistic assessment of what actions he might get away with (at least, for a time) and what just wouldn’t fly. If I want to be cynical, I’d just say that he lacked sufficient courage and fortitude to do what he should have done. Still – I’m perfectly willing to give him credit for what he did do (which was actually quite a lot) and to acknowledge that he was beset like no other president in the history of this country. I don’t think that’s extolling him.
I actually kind of agree with Bill.
Trump still thinks he can take control by staying within the superficial lines of the system. He avoids being too controversial
He’s going to have to put more on the line at some point. The psychopaths tearing down the country and pushing the Great Reset will never give up, because they are too far along to stop.
Excellent article today, James!
I wouldn’t discount though that the MSM can make this as big if not bigger than the Depp/Heard distraction.
As for: “as a final indignity — actually, an advertisement to the world of our depraved weakness — the US military is hosting drag queen shows at our European air bases.”
Of course they did! It’s PRIDE month! Maybe by 2023, it’ll be PRIDE YEAR! I can see it now: The gays who won’t get on board with the child grooming will be expunged from their own movement, as the trans agenda freaks move in and take it over 100% (they’re already about 70% of the way there). With the blessings of the wokies.
Why hasn’t Biden worked hard to free Brittney Griner yet? At least Trump worked hard to get A$AP ROCKY the freedom he deserved.
Cowbell, I doubt Biden has much pull in Moscow these days. Brittany should prepare herself for a long stay in the gulag.
I recall Brittany “taking a knee” at the playing of the National Anthem before WNBA games; I wonder, at 4:00 am revellie at Camp Anthracite in the Vorkuta Gulag … does Brittany get down on one knee when the Russian flag is being hoisted and the Russian National Anthem played? Or does she snap to attention?
” It’s PRIDE month!”
I notice that a lot of events in the local events calander that in the past would have just been, say, “barn dance”: “sing-along”; whatever, are now designated as “Pride” events—just because, I assume, they take place in June.
June has been taken over! By fiat!
Is it going to be “Pride high school graduation”?
Probably. We’ll soon find out. I have two great-nephews graduating from the high school. I await with baited (or is that bated) breath finding out whether they can get through the ceremony without mentioning “pride” or any other gender crap.
Honestly, makes one want to revert to the “shame” agenda.
Funny you mentioned that Islander.
We are going to a HS Graduation ceremony this afternoon at a small rural district west of here; I have already been warned by a nephew to prepare myself for a “Pride Themed Event.” I’m not sure what to expect. It might be like a few years ago when another niece graduated from Trinity College in Hartford. At that graduation, the theme was ‘Africa’. There was African Decor in the hall, and everyone involved — graduates, staff, profs — wore a fake lepoardskin around their necks. The African imagery didn’t seem to be connected to the goings on — Trinity started out as a school for Methodist ministers in the mid 19th century. No explanation was given; they probably figured none was needed.
Some of the Tampa Bay Rays refused to wear a pride logo on their uniforms.
The sports media is mad at them.
They seemed to find Kaepernick’s refusal to stand for the anthem just ducky.
I learned yesterday that there is a trans (boy who identifies as a girl) in our very rural high school, who has been authorized to use the girls’ restroom. This is in a town that ignored mask orders and lockdowns a couple of years ago.
First it was all catalogs and ads everywhere had to feature black people, then every website had to sport a “support Urkaine” link to donate, now everything has that fucked up trans-LGBTQWERTYUIOP/BLM/ANtifa flag smeared all over it.
I do wonder how much more insane things can get.
I’m guessing “a lot.”
“Is it going to be “Pride high school graduation”?”
Uh-oh, just noticed the subject line for the email feed of the local newspaper (lots of graduation parties this week):
“Pride and Parties.”
Well eff me with a feather, what a load of bollocks!
The Gay movement was always very interested in grooming boys. They were angry at NAMBLA for giving the secret away.
Your attempt to pin all the dirty laundry on the Trannies come lately is an untruth, though you may in fact believe it.
Not all gays are or were part of a movement. Some were/are just gay.
Lol. Not all gays. Not all blacks. Not all Muslims. But enough. Enough.
Enough!
Not all men?
Not all women? Just most…..
All gays suffer from a mental defect. Period.
It seems to be the trannies coming right to the schools after the littlest ones.
I sure hope the democrats can make those shocked emotional facial expressions like they did in Jan 2021. The insurrectionist that dared to enter the hallowed halls of the DC whorehouse, sending all the Senate and Congressional hookers to the basement.
Oh the outrage
Were there any congress critters that didn’t skitter to the basement when the People entered the house?
How cool would it be to have as your representative the congressman (or woman) that went out to meet the visitors rather than be locked in the fall-out shelter like your crazy uncle when company comes over?
“Yeah, check it out – that’s Congressman Gusto arm-wrestling with Buffalo Man. There he is unlocking the door for Ashli Babbit – and telling that punkass rent-a-cop to stick his gun up his ass. Man, I never voted before, but I’m moving to Bugtussle just so I can vote for this guy!”
Not one?

To Islander’s post above:
You need to say it like this: “It’s PRIIIIIIIIIIDE Month!!!” With high pitched shrill girlishness to voice. Had to convey it here, but jazz hands are also part of the proclamation. You need to be wearing a multi-colored tutu, and have your hair all frizzed out and dyed in a multitude of colors.
rather than scoff (rightfully), it would behoove you Americans to get yourselves elected to local school councils en masse
evil is always active whilst good people do nothing
I am a single white straight male, never married, no kids. Somehow I think my running for a school board position would be seen as rather suspect.
You’d be surprised how many losers are on these boards. Give it a shot
simply claim you’re a member of the lettered classes du jour
straight white male is just a social construct, as easily jettisoned as your chromosomes
Sounds like General Milley at a Joint Chiefs’ weekly CRT meeting at the Pentagon, with Admiral Levine sitting in.
Ok let’s get something straight. I’ve been informed when invoking April Levine’s name I need to use qualifiers and enhancers. Here goes:
4 Star Navy Admiral April Levine, Woman of the Year, (Stunning and Brave)
Is that satisfactory, WordPress?
“Ok let’s get something straight.”
I believe you are fighting an uphill battle on this one. There is nothing “straight” about this Levine person. It is a thing, a fat blob on the face of humanity, emphasis on the “man”.
Pediatrician and Harvard graduate Richard Levine , nicknamed Dick, was married for 25 years and had two children, One morning Dick awoke and figured out , hey. I don’t want to be a Dick anymore. I’ve actually been Rachel all along. The big question is , does Dick have a dick or did Rachel actually have the balls to go all the way and become a real women with breasts and a vagina. Inquiring minds want to know. Well not really.
I wonder if we could obtain this info through a FOIA request? I would say that the public’s right to knows outweighs its privacy at this point.
I remember Obama telling us that the American worker must become more ”competitive” with the rest of the world.
He framed it as enticing young people to go to college, even though it was already obvious back then that the “higher education” system was a scam between the banks and the colleges to ensnare teenagers into lifelong debt servitude. Tut I took it as an announcement that US wages and living standards would be driven down to match the 3rd world and I was proven more accurate.
And so it continues now.
On a side note: Beryl’s workaround for non-Twitter subscribers has been “fixed” by Twitter and there is no long a X button on the log-in prompt. Bummer.
competitive = impoverished in Neo-Lib Obama speak.
The discussion above about the satanic beliefs of our overlords makes me wonder about Obama’s statement.
Supposedly they have to tell you what they are going to do to you and if you don’t stop them they take it as consent.
Maybe…..
While Satanism may play a part, I think there’s a heapin’ helpin’ of psychology behind the previews of coming events and obvious lies offered to us on a revolving buffet by our masters.
They are attempting to make us accomplices. Be part of the team and parrot the party line. Deny the obvious when it is right in front of our eyes. Eventually defend abominations committed by our masters. One small compromise at a time.
“Step 5: Admit that you are a race obsessed, affirmative action mediocrity, promise to leave the building and to never return, and then do so. Get some honest work more in line with you real capacity. No more race hustling and guilt tripping gullible, mentally ill White liberals.”

a nice summation of liberals in toto
mediocre, tinged with an evil that is deadly to a healthy society
Jesus Christ, when will you old fucks die off. Boomers have squatted and defecated on this stage way too long. Up to the next generation to fix your screwed up shite.
can the yearling provide specific details? i doubt so.
it appears that you youngsters are eminently retarded in grand part.
can you name a single oldster that was so stupid as to be deceived into mutilating himself/herself?
or that believed he was a woman?
J. Edgar Hoover played the part of a man well, but kept his feminine virtues pretty well in check and under wraps. That is what is wrong with society these days, everything needs to be blasted in everyone else’s face and made a public nuisance of things in the public square.
Geez, have some tact and modesty already people!!! But I guess that’s just not what it is about, since they are trying to destroy our culture right before our very eyes.
And completely ignorant of history and geography and the fine arts and happiness and freedom?
They will just usher in an age of techno-feudalism: The perfect slave mentality has been instilled/programmed into them.
All the PTB have to do is offer them a free tattoo or a can of Red Bull.
There is a strange collective narcissism in assuming that if the ‘next generation’ had found itself in exactly the same situation as the previous generation did, that it would have done any better. Humans aren’t like that, and there is no particular virtue in arriving at the party when the sandwiches have all been eaten. That is misfortune (for which sympathy is appropriate) but it is not virtue.
You will have your own screwed up shite to deal with. Or someone else will.
‘will have’?
lol
‘have already shat’
as stated earlier, any generation that is willing to auto-mutilate…
no particular virtue in arriving at the party when the sandwiches have all been eaten.”
Alba,
You mean that they have sandwiches at parties? Being an ascetic, I never go to parties. I assume that the sandwiches are not of the variety of those cucumber or cress abominations?
Well, I guess they were metaphorical ‘sandwiches’, EF, representative of a wider ‘finger foods’ category. A metaphor within a metaphor.
I’m not a party fan either. I’m not sure what the ;point of cucumber is, although I don’t mind it with spring onion in duck wraps.
How are the soft, squishy, entitled, perma-victim mentality youth going to ‘lead’ anything?
LMAO.
It’ll happen goldy. Sorta like the killing fields, a historical moment you should search.
Societies are far gone in depravity when toleration is considered a good in itself, without regard to the thing tolerated.
A.K Chesterton
AK was G.K’s nephew I believe, and a first class journalist. His book of essays, The New Unhappy Lords chronicles the takeover of our Civilization by the Money Power, most of them of alien origin. Love of money is universal, but some are better at the getting of it than others. In any case, their arrival is always welcomed by some.

Tom,
Do you believe that the average citizen should have political power?
Uncle Mao suggested that power grows from the barrel of a gun.
Goddamn commie was right.
Tom’s statement of belief will make a fine epitaph.

This day is coming to us here in the old USA sooner or later, whether we like it or not. Everyone better be prepared to pick a side and fight to the finish.

That was just the first battle EL, at Manassas just outside DC. After that the situation got a lot more serious.
FIGHT ISLAMOPHOBIA
Malth, I have scrolled all the way up and I cannot figure out what your words “FIGHT ISLAMOPHOBIA” refers to.
I think it was a Tourette’s thing.

Who is this ‘quickly’ person you speak of? Oh, wait, never mind. I just realized you meant ‘too’ quickly.
“Who is this ‘quickly’ person of whom you speak?”
Obama,
American worker must become more ”competitive” with the rest of the world.
Ergo, be lowered to 3rd world living standards as thats how one is competitive with slave labor, no green laws etc.
They work cheap. while the overlords get richer [obama, clintons. asian billionaires].
One post online was ‘I know someone who has a degree in chemical engineering and he was offered a low paying job in China.’
Networking is the only paying gig these days. Get a college degree – any degree – to get you in the club, then start hustling your ass off schmoozing everyone you know who’s “connected” in any way whatsoever – no working competency required. The young college grads these days seem have it drilled into them from day one. And if you go the entrepreneurial route, embrace debt as your life-long friend, with the mindset that it will never be paid back anyway.
“Working” is for suckers.
Most colleges are public so Im not sure what net is there.
The rich go to private colleges or state U s? yes? no?
networking is at country clubs.
The good jobs go to non whites due to AA.
@Beryl of Oil(” For some reason some believe to this day, that a president who commits adultery is breaking some kind of unwritten law.”)- Yes, the unwritten law is that if your own wife cannot trust you, why should the rest of the country trust you?
Funny, they can commit massive open genocide and no one cares but if they commit adultery or get a divorce there’s an uproar.
Mary, you may remember I said I had an old school class mate who’d had covid in 2020 (so had immunity) and went on to have two unnecessary jabs (now three). A couple of months after the second one she had a heart attack. She survived because the helimed team were already there when she arrested and they put her into a coma. She’s the one who told me my mental health wasn’t what it should be because of the ‘conspiracy theories’ I was into. I saw on Facebook (I look occasionally to see if they’re OK) that her husband’s brother recently ‘died suddenly’ at 74. Her comment was ’74 is nothing these days – guys, look after yourselves’.
A few years previously they’d invited me to join a WhatsApp group – otherwise I hadn’t seen them, apart from one who’d been my best friend at school, for fifty years. I tried to warn them, when the boosters started, then again when the jabbing of kids started, because I knew at least one had grandchildren. Nobody wanted to know, except one who said to send her some information. I sent her heaps of it, and I presume she ignored it all, after asking for it, because nothing further was said until my second warning over the kids.
The one who’d had the heart attack (I hadn’t told her why she’d had it) claimed she used to work as a research consultant and came back with confirmation that all was well from some articles by Factcheck.com. Although one has been in contact with me since, I withdrew from the WhatsApp group, as I just found it frustrating.
Three of the other four are really fit and sporty, even at 70 – into hillwalking, cycling, and in one case horseriding.
I just got a message this morning to say that the (really fit) one who was my bestie at school – although I haven’t seen her since my kids were small – has just died of a heart attack, a couple of days before her 70th birthday. She never regained consciousness. Her mother is still alive in her 90s, which I think she could otherwise have expected for herself. She was a science teacher. The last thing she said to me before I withdrew from the group was ‘sorry, [Alba]. l”m all for vaccination’.
So that’s two heart attacks before age 70 out of a group of six people, plus a brother in law, plus my husband (almost). I am at a loss to know what to say to people like that who won’t listen. It’s like having to deal with half a dozen Redneck Liberals.
So not all people who take vaccines. Not even most.
Now you know how I feel.
You’ve lost me.
And I just checked on Facebook – the brother in law was only 67, not 74.
Actually, no, it seems there were two brothers in law who ‘died suddenly’ – one at 74 and another at 67. And their families are still asleep.
Not all people who take the vaccine have problems. Just like not all Blacks or Muslims are criminals. And not all Gays are pervs, pedophlles, or sex addicts.
This is your pov of view, remember? And since it’s not all, there is no problem, right?
That’s seems to be what you’ve been saying to me – if not overtly, then by implication – for years now. You often don’t go into it, you just say “Not all”. And since you don’t say any more, the implication is that there is therefore no problem outside of my imagination or “dark filter” (or whatever it was you said the other day).
But of course there are problems with these groups, big ones. As there is with the vaccine.
On the subject of the former and current prison colony (Australia), it looks like old Dan Andrews has yet more problems:
https://twitter.com/OzraeliAvi/status/1534014204893536258?cxt=HHwWhICpsdby9MkqAAAA
“PRGuy was established in 2020 to defend and justify everything Dan Andrews says and does.
The account has grown to one of the most influential voices in Australia but hides behind its fake profile to defame ‘political opponents.’
Until today.”
Good stuff. Big court cases involving shadow networks of paid Covid Hoax propagandists allows everyone to watch the roaches scatter.
This should have gone at the bottom.
WordPress UX strikes again.
“On the subject of the former and current prison colony (Australia), it looks like old Dan Andrews has yet more problems:”
Owl,
When passing through Aussie Customs, and they ask “Do you have a felony record”, the correct response is…”No, is one still required?”
Very nice, Elysian.
Oh GA that is just too much tragedy, I am so sorry about your friend!! Wow out of 6 people, that is incredible. I am really sorry for you but also I give you lots and lots of respect because you tried so hard. I haven’t.
I do a lot of activism, but I know my family and woke friends will scorn and mock me if I try to get anything to them warning-wise (I did start to, but the mocking put an end to that). So, if they ruin their health or kill themselves with jabs it’s not my problem, although it will be incredibly tragic.
Frustrating is not even the word – it’s so beyond that. ANd then when you are proved right, they STILL are angry at you, I’m guessing. “Oh it would have been worse if (she) had not gotten the jab!” Oh really? So now, covid19 is a heart attack? I thought that it was a bad cold.
In any case, I admire those of you who really work on your families and friends. I gave up early. I do other stuff, but it’s not the same.
” For some reason some believe to this day, that a president who commits adultery is breaking some kind of unwritten law.”)- Yes, the unwritten law is that if your own wife cannot trust you, why should the rest of the country trust you?
CyberPass,
No, the unwritten law is never to be caught.
So if you are not caught that makes you trustworthy?
I see a flaw in your reasoning.
“So if you are not caught that makes you trustworty?”
Paula,
Of course it does not. It is the APPEARANCE of trustworthyness that counts.
Per S.D. Gov. Noem:
“Congress needs to exercise its Article I power of the Constitution and hold hearings to investigate the security of America’s food supply. We need our trade agreements honored and antitrust laws enforced. We need policies that prioritize domestic production. We need to ensure that America’s food can’t be held hostage by anyone.”
Per Cowbell: Too late, Congress is much too busy to be bothered by such trivialities. After all, they have the Jan. 6th riots to get to the bottom of! Go ahead all ye esteemed Congress people, keep on fiddling while Rome burns.

Has anyone checked if the Stephen Colbert crowd has heard about this?
LOL.
Many replies to this post. The one that summed the general tenor of those replies was:
“So the govt is doing pretty much the same profiling as every other large business, organization, online app and media outlet.
Wow!
Not news just noise”
Noise…Night Owl squawking.
That’s OK, then. When I am eventually refused food because I won’t take any more clot shots, it will be a business that refuses my digital ID, not the government. That’s all right then. It’s not like corporations have been working hand in glove with governments or anything sinister like that.
Check upstream. Second heart attack in a year in my little group of six school classmates. Nothing to see here.
You’ve really jumped the shark, huh.
You never actually say anything, do you?
A snort and a grunt, and that’s it.
As much attention as these posts deserve.
Regardless of what I have to say, should I sweat over a ‘wall of text’ (as your new bestest buddy Narc troll would characterise it), it would get scant attention.
Think of me as the same as your old friends who have dropped you like a bag of dog-poop since you went down the rabbit hole and now find that you think & speak of little else.
Evidence?
“When I am eventually refused food because I won’t take any more clot shots, it will be a business that refuses my digital ID, not the government.”
Where’s the evidence of this prospect? As I see it, your statement (above) IS evidence – of delusional thinking, having hung around too long with agents of disinformation who have relentlessly chipped away at your previously logical thinking. Too bad.
Snorting and grunting AND flailing about with childish insults.
Clever you.
Two of my friends have now ‘dropped like a bag of dog poop’ and one is never going to get up again. So far, I seem to have the advantage, albeit probably not for long.
The evidence is that it has already happened in other countries. Like France. Like Italy.
You remain a moron, and no one here likes you, Fake Trae.
“If I ignore the evidence they post, and then claim there is no evidence, I win!”
You monkey.
You are getting your ass handed to you all over the board, as so often.
Keep those emotions in check, never know what might happen with all that Gentech in your veins, nut.
Love my Gentech, and my Soros stipend.
So, RL, when your local supermarkets demand that you pay using a fingerprint or facial recognition, like the criminal you are just for existing, will you comply? That’s what Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, Lidl and Morrison’s have announced here.
Will you take a jab of a mystery substance if they say you have to in order to buy groceries? Or an implant?
In WA, the powers that be are frustrated that the covid pass isn’t needed anymore, so they’re racking their brains for functions to attach to it to control people with. And you think that’s fine? I though WA was the relaxed bit of Australia, but when push comes to shove, it might as well be Victoria.
” nngroup.com/articles/facial-recognition-payment ” add your own url access
You didn’t answer my question.
You do seem extra violent, way different than you were a year ago. How jabbed are you? Did you do all the boosters?
That would explain a lot of your abusive bullshit.
Violent? Abusive? You seem to have redefined these words…a memo from Q, perhaps?
Just not in your food?
You are very smart.
“In WA, the powers that be are frustrated that the covid pass isn’t needed anymore, so they’re racking their brains for functions to attach to it to control people with.”
A question and a point for you…
Q: Where’d you get THAT particular piece of misinformation from? (That is, I suppose, some remark by someone somewhere sometime has since been spun into the above sentence of conspiratorial nature – look at all the pointers in it.)
Point: Australia is probably the most regulated jurisdiction in history. Try opening a “.com.au” web address to find out just how bad it is. But aside from that, this is the WA State government you’re complaining about. Its COVID response was so much more draconian than anywhere else (with the possible exception of China) and it has only just opened up and appears to be very happy to have done so.
RL perfectly illustrates Blackbird’s (above) point.
They roll out repression on step at a time. At fist the more freedom-loving people object, but then they get used to it.
And people like RL sneer “So what if I am spied upon by the government, I accept it completely when corporations do it so what’s the difference?”
That is how freedom dies, one step at a time, applauded by the enthusiastically submissive among us.
“Step on me again Big Brother”
What people like me remark upon is just how fucking deluded you lot have become, and you come here simply for your daily dose of confirmation bias – to give as well as to receive.
As ever, no evidence. Just a bit of grunty wishful thinking.
Long may it sustain you.
It’s good for a laugh. Ha.
Amuse yourself to death.
Looks like he’s gonna, GA.
Yet here you are, taking abuse from the entire board every week.
You are very smart.
“Abuse” from you, Bully-Boy, doesn’t bother me in the least.
MaryQ is a try-hard bully-wannabe, maybe getting notes from MTG but clearly not absorbing her valuable input.
I remain in mourning for the work-over you’ve managed on Green Alba, though (patronising as it may be taken).
It bothers you the most, which is why you feel the need to mention it.
BTW, your boy plead guilty to stuffing the ballot box in PA down thread.
No response?
LOL.
You’re at it again, RL. I had no work-over from anyone. I just clicked on a few links and found my way to Dr Roger Hodkinson (pathologist), if I recall correctly, plus another doctor/scientist or two, and Reiner Fuellmich, who distilled what he’d been told by a whole bunch of other scientists and doctors.
You too could educate yourself. It’s stlil worth doing even when you’ve taken the poison, unless you have a particularly determined ambition to die ignorant, which seems to be your aim.
WHo’s MTG???
@ Narc Troll – no, ’twas thee who mentioned it (“abuse”) first.
AS to yers (of whom I’ve never heard before), clearly he’s an arsehole. Good to know that the system finds and punishes ACTUAL voter fraud, rather than the imaginary stuff.
A summary of his crimes is:
“Federal prosecutors said Myers orchestrated schemes to fraudulently stuff ballot boxes for Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 Pennsylvania elections.”
Local State elections…not the 2020 Federal election. So what’s your point?
And this from today’s news, all fresh and everything:
“TROY, N.Y. (AP) — An upstate New York Republican is being forced out of her city council post after pleading guilty to three federal counts of voter fraud and amid unfounded assertions across the country — mostly by some in the GOP — of widespread elections tampering.
The case involving Troy City Councilmember Kimberly McPherson, who represents a community northeast of Albany, the state capital, is one just few instances of documented voter fraud.
Some Republicans have falsely charged that the 2000 presidential election was rigged in favor of Democrat Joe Biden.
As part of a plea deal, McPherson admitted to fraudulently casting an absentee ballot in last year’s primary election and two such ballots in the general election. McPherson’s name appeared on both ballots. She admitted to illegally filing absentee ballots in the names of two other voters.“
RL quotes approvingly:
“So the govt is doing pretty much the same profiling as every other large business, organization, online app and media outlet.
Wow!
Not news just noise”
RL then says:
”What people like me remark upon is just how fucking deluded you lot have become”
You accept repression and then claim that we are “deluded” for opposing it.
Sad to say that “liberal” fits such a mindset nowadays.
Paula D
“You accept repression and then claim that we are “deluded” for opposing it.”
Oh, please…that’s a more threadbare strawman than the Narc Troll throws up.
Firstly, it’s you who characterises it as ‘repression’ and then secondly, you virtue-signal yourself as ‘opposing’ it. Just how effectively have you been opposing ‘it’, this imagined ‘repression’? Your most recent victory in precis form will suffice.
“You too could educate yourself. It’s stlil worth doing even when you’ve taken the poison, unless you have a particularly determined ambition to die ignorant, which seems to be your aim.”
I take it that you do actually give a shit, GA, but I’ve been down the rabbit hole. I remember what it is like and I have zero desire to get sucked back into the crazy shit hole that it, in fact, is.
Just read your own language now. Is there any objectivity left? Where once you asked for proof from the Disinformation Agent Extraordinaire, Narc Troll, you’re now a bosom pal.
That harridan wench from Idaho is likewise a new bestie.
I do note that you keep your observations to Covid & the vaccines, so you’re probably not as nutty as the rest…yet. But if you ever start thinking Trump was an okay guy, then you’ll know the infection has got a full grip on you.
As more evidence is provided, the Nut doubles down.
Life is easy when everything is a “conspiracy theory.”
RL – You still can’t get over the fact that I used to argue with Night Owl and Mary and have now found common cause, You shouldn’t take it so personally – in a world of people who think and learn, it’s not an unknown phenomenon, even outside of covid.
Sometimes it goes the other way, and you get someone like Chomsky, who used to understand how corrupt organisations work and believe in freedom, now wants unvaxxed people subjected to medical apartheid, even though everyone not living under a rock knows that the vaxxes don’t stop you transmitting covid. And even though you’re twice as like to get it and die from it if you’re fully vaxxed than if you’re completely unvaxxed (the scientific paper I linked to will help you with that one).
I have to say it’s funny hearing someone with their head buried in the sand tell other people they’re down a rabbit hole. I’m not sure why an ostrich hole is better.
LMAO, Idaho Harridan & Wench.
Pretty sure those terms are not approved by the Wokester Liberal Tribe, RL.
Better recalibrate, “do better” & get yourself into diversity training toute-de-suite.
You’ve LITERALLY committed some severe verbal crimes here.
You can do misogyny, you just have to do it the right way.
No calling women ‘wenches’ (liberals say bad). But you CAN call me a transphobic TERF so maybe put that in your quiver for future ad hom arrow slinging. Lest you be canceled by your own peeps & hoisted by your own petard.
We can see from the tantrum on this thread that RL’s biggest fear is that people like Trump.
LMAO.
You mean the guy who was pres for one term, is long gone, never to return?
And he still is living rent-free in your noggin?
FWIW, you don’t even read my comments (or comprehend them) since I’ve always maintained I’m not a Trump supporter or voted for him.
If you are going to attack people for stuff, at least get the stuff right. You just never seem to.
The counterstory to the Jan. 6 propaganda they’ll be showing in the mainstream media:

What a fucking joke.
Cry more, Bitter Betty.
LOL.
I watched this fucking joke of a ‘documentary’. It was more bleeding heart than a 1944 Yankee war movie.
It’s fun watching your political death throes, as it were.
Crazy pedo nut nut libs have jumped the shark, you’re twisting in the wind trying to justify them.
Too late, Fake Trae.
All I can say to this is that for the very first election of my adult life, I intend to vote straight-ticket Republican, although like a lot of voters, the only race in which my vote is likely to make a difference are the statewide US senator and governor races, on account of the whole country being well and truly gerrymandered to the nines at this point.
Sure, the Republicans could accelerate the collapse with the Randroid “reverse Robin Hood” policies they seem to favor, but at least that will be a collapse rather less seasoned with a generous dose of mass formation psychosis and rather more predictable in nature. Still, I will be keeping in mind when I fill out my ballot at City Hall in late October that fragrant cliche “Be careful for what you wish, you may just get it.”
Voting. Your first mistake.
Understand your POV, Dis, but what other weapon have we to offset the $dominance of the plutocrats. I would agree that the primary target of the WEF right now is the elimination of the effectivity of the vote.
Jarek…yup, I got nuthin’ and neither do you, you mother fucking sumbitch.

Trump on his worst day, is a thousand percent better than the nincompoops that are running DC right now.
A vote for the Dems is a vote against the continuation of 20th century America and for the installation of the WEF into mainstream America.
Criticize him for some of his actions, believe all the BS the MSM has made up about him, he is still head and shoulders above anyone in DC. Right now, with maybe a few exceptions, he is the only one dedicated to keeping the “c” in America.
Hmmm I see ? ? Couldn’t it be concluded that a vote for the Dems is a continuation of 20th century America actually. Was it not because of their total consolidation of essentially all institutional power in the 20th century and on why we find ourselves here now?
Nope, they were not able to solidly consolidate power until the Bush negligence and Obama progressivism both allowed the Leftist swing of the 2000s.
Well the Clinton’s as an example appear to have developed a bureaucratic empire with tentacles throughout apparently every level of government and media and that was happening in the 90s so I’m not sure I can completely come into congruence with your assertion but I do agree in the sense that Bush and particularly Obama sort of completely flipped the switch so that there is no longer even the appearance of a balanced system.
Clintons I meant. Actually I just have to say if I may that really Bill should have been utilized as the face of all of this. He was actually likable and relatable from what I recall. So many people were enamored with Obama and I just never could come into an understanding of that. I guess the counter messaging to his messaging reached me and made a big difference as I was forming opinions about him. Ultimately when I see his face I think of the anti-Christ look alike from the documentary or that movie from back at the time where everyone was like omg look it’s Obama and he is the devil. I don’t know if you remember that but I just think uggh AC is in the house when Obama’s face would pop up.
Ah. This is a great example of why it’s almost impossible to nail down what you intend to say, SSL. Look at all the vacillations…
“Well the Clinton’s as an example appear to have developed a bureaucratic empire with tentacles throughout apparently every level of government and media and that was happening in the 90s so I’m not sure I can completely come into congruence with your assertion but I do agree in the sense that Bush and particularly Obama sort of completely flipped the switch so that there is no longer even the appearance of a balanced system.”
If you say so. Actually I can’t in good faith say that I’m not given over to a changeable tempermentality. But I also must say that your critique is very interesting given that I cannot provide unquestionable data to support my conjectures. Therefore I think some vacillations are in fact attempts to be fairminded about these things. And yet you remain unsatisfied. Though in fact I do believe you understood and understand exactly what I’m saying.
Don’t feel bad SSL.
I lectured Rednut on this technique back during the Ukraine phone call hearings, when he could not distinguish between hearsay and evidence in the legal sense.
The part he still doesn’t understand is that the use of this technique in hard news reporting makes a mockery of that news reporting, hence my designation of the corporate news collective as the McMedia, whereas its use in informal discussion or even an op-ed, is something entirely different.
That is how things go when one is of low intelligence.
Exactly thanks for that good point! Yeah, I mean if I had undeniable evidence I wouldn’t say things like apparently and sorta and so forth. But obviously the nuance was just too much to deal with or something lol. It’s fine. RL appears to be subjugated by a never ending rage spiral. In some situations medicine cannot be avoided 😉
“A never-ending rage spiral”!
Good one, and a most apt description of what I read here from almost everyone, but in particular, from all of the CTNJ cohort.
“Everyone’s in a rage except me!”
sounds a lot like
“Everyone is stupid except me!”
And just as delusional.
“I lectured Rednut on this technique back during the Ukraine phone call hearings, when he could not distinguish between hearsay and evidence in the legal sense.”
Your sense of superiority is palpable, but squishy, Narc Troll. Most of your so-called ‘evidence’ comes from a couple of Twitter feeds (authored by nutjobs or disinfo agents) absolutely brimming with not only hearsay but op-ed style interpretation of said hearsay.
So go fuck yourself and your “lecturing”. (You’d be a shitty teacher anyway.)
Well my lecturing must have worked, as you now understand how to read for bias framing. Your faceplants during the Ukraine phone call threads were legendary.
BTW, when I post to Twitter, those fine writers usually link the work of an expert or some piece of hard evidence.
Sometimes critical thinking is required to place pieces of evidence into context.
Like when the ex-VP of Pfizer explains what the MRNA shots do to your body, or the criminal networks he can verifiably prove are lying to you not only exist, but that have actively coordinated together to create what we are living through.
I understand if you continue to receive your science from Stephen Colbert.
We all make our choices.
And
A vote for the Dems is a vote against almost every value that America has treasured for 250 years.
Enumerate the first ten of these values so devastated?
My late, departed cat would have done a better job than any dem in Washington now.I’ll give that to you.
Keeping the c in America – nice! Take the c out and you get nike.
“Trump on his worst day, is a thousand percent better than the nincompoops that are running DC right now.”
Ahh…the true love of the truly deluded.
LOL Fake Trae was probably reincarnated from the boobs rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic as it was going down.
Sorry, John, but that no longer washes. We are circling the drain. We don’t want someone who the lesser evil or less awful than the dems; we want someone who is going to do the damn job and clear out the swamp once and for all. Trump has shown zero signs that he will do anything different next time. He’s endorsing that sh1tbag, McCarthy, FFS.
Thank you Mr. K. I think it’s good advice to take in the sham committee hearings (brought to you by good morning america lol) with levity. People like Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney clearly have a need to be perceived as serious and consequential, if not historical. What a better defeat could one imagine then for them than to be summarily mocked, ridiculed and panned. It’s also such an odd strategy. Jan 6 is so far away from the current thing and so not relevant in the now. I personally think it would have been way more efficient for them if they would have done all this right after “Joe Biden” was installed right out the gate basically. But hey’ i’m not their consultant so whatevs lol. The counter points are easy. While you are scrounging to pay for gas and groceries look at these rich politicians playing games with water under the bridge. Just goes to show how completely divorced they are from the “country” around them.
You think Trump alone can stop the WEF from coming into America? Not a chance, they’re already here. What will he do? Answer, maybe impose more tariffs, and consequently more counter tariffs, and also cut taxes for the rich, again. He is the best on the border, but even there he couldn’t rally enough support for a really strong defense of it. And again, the caravans march towards us, hoping to invade.
Trump is not the man who can save you, because no one can save you except yourself. The die is cast. You yourself have said that the Dems and the Deep State are too entrenched for anyone to effectuate a meaningful change of course back to “c” America.
Look at Sussmann and Navarro, and the two tiers of justice. Here’s Ben Weingarten from thefederalist.com:
‘It sends an unmistakable message: We can get you anytime, anywhere, on any grounds we choose. You can’t touch even a single one of ours.’
Who knows what will happen in two plus years, but if Trump does run in 2024, he has a good chance of losing. For November 2022, the Dems have been gaining ground in spite of all the current problems.
No, I don’t want to vote for Trump again, I prefer someone with at least a bit of intellect, someone without ‘bone spurs’, and someone other than a showman who rode the populist wave into the WH and became an apprentice there.
Don’t readily dismiss the other half of the electorate.
lol how utterly daft
gas was $2 a gallon, jobs were falling off of trees, there was zero joblessness, US was energy independent
moronic lgbtq+ was being expunged from military
….but that’s not intellect!
Think for a change, maybe reread my post.
I did not say that Trump didn’t do any good. I’m saying that he’s a flawed candidate and that I wish we could do better. I voted for him before, and I will again if I have to.
But I don’t think I’ll have to.
rube – if I understand you correctly, what you’re saying is that when Trump was in office everything was just tickety-boo – almost like the Eisenhower years, right? Apple pie & gingham tablecloths etc.
Since then the whole place has gone to the dogs – just like that?
You give the presidency way too much power over things that are well outside the control of any one person, or even one party, or even one corporation…heck, even outside the control of a cabal of industries.
Right on Rube
TS has believed the MSM a little too much.
I just picture 2022 and 24 with the Deep State, not just the Dems, maintaining power and it gives me much fear for our future.
If anyone can come up with a replacement for Trump, someone who can slam the domestic enemy as effectively as Trump, someone who can be enough of a political pariah to set the Dems, especially the Bernie Boys and Girls back on their heels, come on. Until I am convinced that person exists, I will stick with Trump.
How effective is he politically.
He has turned Washington DC and the Deep State into a TDS machine exclusively. Anyone who can turn Biden’s, Pelosi’s and Schumer’s agenda from destroying our democracy into get Trump is doing his job trying to drain the swamp.
Not so, John. I don’t fall for the MSM propaganda at all. I’ve already said before that if I have to vote Trump again I will. If there isn’t a better candidate out there than it’s too bad for us.
You know as well as I that Trump can’t dislodge the Deep State, although he is a sharp, stinging thorn in their side.
All I was saying is that Trump alone cannot save this nation, and it’s beyond foolish to think so.
You don’t fall for the MSM propaganda at all?
“Don’t you watch Fox news like I do? If you did, you would have heard the concern about the Roe decision galvanizing the Democrats and that more people are leaning towards the Dems on gun control.”
DOUCHBAG
Intellect? IIRC, you were telling anyone who would listen just how silly all this WEF stuff was.
One step removed from the Rednut. Granted it is a large step.
Never said this WEF stuff was silly. I may have doubted that they wanted to kill off 90% of the world’s population, things like that, but the WEF of course is far from silly. So, you did not remember correctly.
And now a straw man.
Whatever you say.
@tusconspur : “. For November 2022, the Dems have been gaining ground in spite of all the current problems.” How about some FACTS to back up that statement apparently pulled out of your ass?
Don’t you watch Fox news like I do? If you did, you would have heard the concern about the Roe decision galvanizing the Democrats and that more people are leaning towards the Dems on gun control.
The thought was also expressed on Fox and here on this blog by Jim that the Jan.6th committee may turn Trump into the instigator who is destabilizing the country. If he loses ground, the Dems gain ground.
Wake the fuck up!
If you honestly think that Roe v Wade and gun control will leave a permanent red mark on American voters who’ve been hit with high food and energy prices, your head is so far up your ass you’re smack dab against your large intestine. Concerned about gun control? How many people have been killed in mass shootings since Columbine? Gun control has NEVER been a deciding factor in any American Presidential Election -Never. Roe vs Wade The only galvanizing that’ll be done for the midterms will be by people who are tired of high food and energy prices. Just wait till the ole furnace gets filled up in October. We’ll see how many people are “galvanized then.
“…the Jan.6th committee may turn Trump into the instigator who is destabilizing the country.”
“turn” Trump into the instigator? Hahaha…I think you mean EXPOSE him as the instigator.
The caps lock is on. The eyes go Sanpaku.
LOL.
You just know he has a duper’s delight grin too although he’s duped no one.
Hahahahahahaha!
@ Backrow Heckler:
King James has spoken:
LeBron James on Monday shared a letter urging Joe Biden to get Brittney Griner home from Russia.
The WNBA star Griner has been in Russian custody since an arrest on drug charges in February.
The letter asked the US to “immediately address this human rights issue” and get her home.
LeBron James has demanded that President Joe Biden bring Brittney Griner home from Russia, where the WNBA star has been detained for more than 100 days.
“We need to come together and help do whatever we possibly can to bring BG home quickly and safely!! Our voice as athletes is stronger together,” he tweeted Sunday night to his 51.4 million
This is what I’ve been saying all along, Crusher:
FREE BRITTANY GRINER!
Putin ain’t persuaded, and most likely doesn’t even know who Lebron James is, nor does he care.
“America has a King named James?”-VPutin
Lebron James has taken up your crusade.
We want Bigfoot!
Did you guys hear about the other one? Six foot eight mulatta of Nigerian descent? She called the Nigerian team monkeys and told them to go back to their shithole. She called the ref a little White. She doesn’t seem to like either side…..
Crusher,
I have no respect for LeBron… I would invite him to kiss my big black ass.
Gas is inching up to $5 per gallon, but still people driving around like sonsabitches. Its manic, a last desperate go-round as indicated by the plethora of head on collisions, reckless driving, pedestrians being run down, and road rage incidents. Last night we drove about 40 miles west to attend a HS graduation. It was well done, not much political BS, and the graduates appeared eager and hopeful; my nephew commented “These kids are in for a rude awakening.” Yes, but I wish them the best anyway. Stopped at an Applebees at the edge of town on the way home (I always liked Applebees) Burger and fries for me, chicken salad for my wife, a beer and a soft drink: $50 with a tip. I’m sure they’re trying to keep prices down but many more of these restaurant will be struggling to survive in the near future.
And gas will likely be the least of it. Saker blog continues to paint the deep shit the Euros in particular and the west in general are in with regard to diesel fuel, which is arguably even more vital to a functioning economy. The main question remains: is this an intentional demolition of the western economies by Davos Man as part of their Great Reset plan? That would seem to be the only explanation that makes sense, unless they really are that stupid.
https://thesaker.is/for-europe-from-russia-with-love/
no, it is intentional
force people to stop using ff, eating meat
the great thing (from their pov) about jacking up the price of ff is that it then become too expensive to build as well
since they want the ants to live in tiny apartments
they know russia won’t go along, neither will poland/hungary and a few others, so watch for ‘actions’ there
as in the war putin was forced to engage in
Yeah, I saw Energy Secretary Granholm interviewed recently; when the interviewer asked her about high fuel prices and what she was doing to increase energy supply she laughed in his face, then started talking about solar panels and EVs. She came across as an ideologue and a Climate Crank. That’s who is in charge of US energy policy, so it’s no surprise we find ourselves in the position that we’re in.
I do miss Trump who kept inflation at bay by encouraging oil.
That is it!
Report Soros has given $40 million to DA election getting 75 converted to soft on crime folks.
Is George at fault or a stupid electorate?
In every way possible, the WEF (SPECTRE) is making inroads in the US. The election of the Biden government is their crowning achievement. We have been fallin down ever since.
Add on new story
Soros is buying up Hispanic media outlets and converting them to progressive propaganda outlets.
Is America for sale?
BTW, DeSantis has noticed this and is fighting him in Florida.
Rube
I note your description matches what the USSR was like in the mid20th century.
That is what the WEF wants for the US to become, a third world country, along with Europe.
AMERICA FIRST!!!
Dis, it is indeed intentional. If it was mere stupidity, then by the law of averages, some of their decisions would be good ones. However, every move they make produces more and more chaos for the ordinary person. They hate us and want us dead.
BRH,
On the Best Coast, yesterday saw gas at $5.49…Diesel at $5.99. both cash prices.
I …know this guy that has almost 500 gallons of diesel put up.
I’ll see your 500 and raise ya 250. No. 2 fuel oil
How long does diesel last? Longer than regular gas I assume?
If I’m not mistaken you can store diesel forever and it’ll still be good to go.
Gasoline not so much; even when you add stabilizer it seems to deteriorate after about a year. What I do is mix old gasoline with new gasoline and burn it up that way.
E. & Stelmos know more about this than I do.
My lawnmower sat for a little over a year and I had to dump the gas to get it started, even with stabilizer added.
Diesel in 55 gallon drums, properly stored…12-15…years.
This guy I know…he has done it.
I doesn’t go bad? Gas won’t last a year.
Can we convert cars to diesel?
What’s the chemical difference that accounts for this great difference in durability?
Dis, Jarek,
I have yet to find a bad container of diesel…apparently it can get a mold or fungal infection…but so can/could the wife.
The reason it lasts longer is it is not very volatile, and is closer, much closer to crude than is gasoline, I would expect. No way to convert a gas motor to diesel without building a diesel vapor system. It can be done, but why then use diesel when used motor oil is everywhere available?
Today Gas $5.57, Diesel $6.10…7 day spread.
$5-10 in Los angeles.
An Applebees kind of guy. Of course you can’t understand WW2. Of course!
Say what you will about Applebees, but they can’t hold a candle to the Outback’s bloomin’ onion!
You got that right Cowbell.
If we had been driving by an Outback when my wife said “I’m hungry” I would gave pulled into Outback and ordered a thick steak, a tall draft, and a bloomin’ onion. As it was I spotted an Applebees on the horizon (as fate would have it.) The waitress was a tall blond with legs up to here as an added bonus.
The thing I like about you Janos is you never pass up an opportunity to bust my balls.
Just reading an interesting article about the “Clinton Body Count”. Why do so many people that have worked for and around the Clintons turn up dead under mysterious circumstances?
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10882101/Family-late-Clinton-advisor-Mark-Middleton-block-release-files-relating-suicide.html
Why do so many people that have worked for and around the Clintons turn up dead under mysterious circumstances?
duh.
I love the one where a guy turns up dead with a barbell on his neck. Gee, wonder how that happened? lol
12 former body guards.
simply claim you’re a member of the lettered classes du jour
/whats that mean?
I think it means to say something like that I belong to the “Q” in the LBGTIQIA+ scheme. Play along to get along.
I keep saying that everyone is overthinking all of this. It’s actually quite simple, elementary really: The industrial revolution aka fossil fuel surplus, was financed by fractional reserve lending.
That is, debt based money. The problem is that by its very definition, you cannot repay capital + interest if there isn’t sufficient growth in the money supply.
However, if you simply just print more money without growth in real, underlying production (ie again, read as surplus), you end up creating (ruinous) inflation that eventually destroys the banking system.
Now of course the Rothschilds, et al have always known about this essential, fixed problem, the avoidance of which – like death and taxes – is impossible. So, what have they done? Well, kicked the can down the road like everyone else for the last 200 years.
But now crunch time is coming. Everyone – and I mean *everyone* with even a mild clue – knows this is it, the jig is finally up for reals.
So, if you’ve been the absolute master of the universe for two centuries, observing from up high with wry amusement the passions and emotional drama of billions of simple, easily satisfied human ants, how do you react when you *yourself* are slated for termination?
Well, you have one single advantage – and no, it’s not land holdings, gold, or other traditional forms of wealth. Because in chaos, that shit is worthless.
No, what you have is the classic first mover advantage. If you can control the collapse through the remaining vestiges of government authority, you might, just might be able to retain power over a rump, medieval system of control.
Travel, housing, food, consumption, health, safety – control the people through these core essential levers, combined with all information flow (repackaged religion techniques) and you can operate the entire machine with limited staff.
If youre a motu, that’s it – it’s all you got. So, dear reader, look around, lose the personal angle, and observe the intentional demolition taking place. All done with a purpose, all wonderfully logical and rational if viewed from the masters’ pov.
“But now crunch time is coming. Everyone – and I mean *everyone* with even a mild clue – knows this is it, the jig is finally up for reals.”
======================================
we have been hearing this since 40 A.D. at least
Rube,
Well, yes, but sometimes even the paranoid have people after them….
On the contrary, I think you are oversimplifying all of this. The roots go much, much deeper than any of us can fathom. There is a huge conspiracy afoot and none of us will ever know the entire story or be able to see the whole picture.
In the end you just gotta play along to get along. Steal from the rich and give to the poor (if you can get away with it).
I see confused people trying to reconcile their respective faiths with apparently uncontrollable, random events.
Their institutional indoctrination, reinforced with stringent cultural influence, prevents them from not only seeing the truth, but actually even dare question the official narrative.
So, I try to help out now and then, but do I really care if anyone is actually “saved”? The cool thing thing is, “you do you” still applies. Listen, act if you choose, it doesn’t really matter to me.
However, those with a public voice risk becoming an embarrassment, the type of kindly, enfeebled elder who is gently patted on the head while the caregiver emits a soothing “there there”. These are yesterday’s men, whom history has passed by.
Me? I live exactly according to my outline. Own physical assets, live in a monoculture, remain invisible, avoid trouble. Keep an eye open, and pay attention to actual facts, not superficial theater.
It ain’t no huge conspiracy cow patty.
It’s the rich staying rich and the powerful staying powerful. Throughout human history one lazy historian only need follow money and power and what people do to cling to it and what others do to get it. That’s it. The demolition is like vulture capitalism writ large, trying to extract value from what’s left, trying to become americas versions of former ussr oligarchs, people allowed to stay wealthy and in control of the few assets left. It ain’t that far fetched it’s the natural order Mitch is alluding to. At least they are smart enough to place the useful idiot politicians in between themselves and the populace losing all their power both buying and governance
Or how about Good V Evil. The age old conflict.
Retaining power over a ‘rump, medieval system’ would be what they want if it came to that. In a catastrophic collapse however, all bets could be off, with who knows who grabbing power.
Just like in banking, risk assessments are often enough inaccurate, and outcomes of major societal collapse would be difficult to pinpoint in fine detail. But those with a lot of money and power to begin with would most likely come out on top, wouldn’t they?
I don’t think that ‘intentional demolition’ is the goal. The global elites are intentionally planning to do what they think is best for themselves and the world, with the masses absorbing the collateral damage and often unintended consequences.
Eventually you’ll die, mitchelic; what then?
It’s becoming apparent to me that if the SHTF, mitchellc would be the wrong person to have as a neighbor. He’s got massive SNITCH written all over him.
““how come it hasn’t been in the media”
– beantownbill axing why the media hasn’t reported anything Trump’s done for the jan 6 prisoners
===============================
i said “come on” in response,
as in ‘do you expect the media to report anything positive about Trump’
OK. Thanks for the clarification.
“come on” reads more accurately as “as if he’d do anything for them”.
To claim there’s no information about his steadfast support & care for those poor benighted dupes in Federal prison in the MSM because the MSM wouldn’t report it is just ridiculous on its face.
What about all your alt-right-CTNJ sources? Why haven’t they been reporting on his heroic deeds of intrepid intervention? Because there’s nothing to report, is why.
Too funny. Talk about telegraphing their punches!
Headlines might as well say: “Beware! False Flags Planned for Midterms”
https://apnews.com/article/2022-midterm-elections-covid-health-mexico-f0db5be3931d14a5cd5da3bdc200e930
US sees heightened extremist threat heading into midterms
They’ll probably try to force us all to wear masks again come October, and reincarnate the digital vaxpass reporting requirements.
Geez, what a bunch of idiots. This is out country and if we want to fight for our beliefs we have every right to do so.
I don’t recall DHS issuing any such press release before all the latest violence and looting after the death of St. George Floyd.
Someone needs to send Putin the exact GPS coordinates of D.C. and its hallowed institutions, and tell him to get on with the business of saving us from ourselves.
I have no doubt Russian high command has the coordinates dialed in and ready to execute on a moment’s notice. I really do think that’s the only way out of our current mess.
Yes, well did you hear that the CDC is now recommending the donning of masks for traveling due to monkeypox? So far I don’t think there are any new mandates but of course the recommendation could be part of the initial rollout you refer to. I have been feeling for some time that they are going to prevent the midterms from occurring some how some way. Otherwise if the elections are held and are even slightly fair then there will be a big political shift and they cannot afford for such a thing to occur.
Won’t matter if they occur or not. They’ll be fixed one way or another either way.
How can you live under such paranoid delusions?
A more interesting question to me is whether or not it is simply a tragic normalcy bias for you, actual ignorance (which is very difficult for me to buy personally), or a darker fully cognizant maliciousness.
He slept through 2020, evidently.
I think he believes that the 2020 election was the safest most fairest election in all of human history (haw haw)
“…or a darker fully cognizant maliciousness.”
Huh? Moi? Apparently, I’m too stupid to be malicious.
…but not so stupid as to use a double superlative (haw haw).
The lefty freaks fire-bombed a health clinic.
And threw red paint all over the door.
But yeah the right are the terrorists. SMH.
As well.
No righties can even come close to the destruction of major cities, fire-bombing of small businesses, disruption to commerce, trans-agenda and CRT madness in institutions (pedo perversion of kids), child trafficking (see: protection of Ghilaine Maxwell & Hunter Biden, etc), that the left has committed in the past 5+ years.
So I understand the need to blame someone else – sadly (for you) there are millions who see exactly what’s going on, and who is perpetrating it.
After the “Blue Tsunami” this November, outraged “white nationalists” will “assassinate” the ‘Ho, rolling out the red carpet for the Hildebeast. The Big Guy will then step aside to take up his residency at Comet Ping-Pong, and the eschaton will be immanentized.
You heard it here first, you lucky bastards.
Sounds plausible.
Really plausible.
Actor Matthew McConaughey thought he could play president earlier today when he was given the floor and gave a “gripping” and “emotional” speech behind the White House podium.
Boy, he sure is a good actor, turning on those water works at the drop of a dime. Someone should nominate him for a Daytime Emmy for that performance.
I am sure that with him in charge all of our nation’s problems would be solved in no time flat!
Maybe he can take over from Zel in Ukr.
” all of our nation’s problems would be solved”
Bell,
I would expect that a vast majority of them could be quickly solved if our betters had the political courage to do so. The means exist, the will…not so much.
I see the Jan 6 hearings will replace prime time TV on MSM. Should be a dandy, and says a lot about the quality of both.
In the meantime, since anything goes and nothing matters now, no one will care.
Other than sporting events, as if anyone at all watches prime time network TV anymore. They really are going a little overboard with these Jan 6th hearings, though. I don’t know anyone on either side of the issue that pays attention to that shit anymore.
Agreed, there isn’t anything worthwhile in Primetime anymore. I often see a commercial for a show that looks mildly interesting, but then they say it is only available on Hulu, Paramount Plus, or some such other streaming platform. I wonder why they waste their time and money, putting together what looks like a quality show with well known actors and interesting narrative, only to have it unavailable to a large segment of the populace.
Streaming anything is a no go for me since I refuse to partake in a payment subscription service to get my dose of entertainment. All you have to do is look at the state of America and the lunacy that is ongoing, and that is entertainment enough, and all for free!
And yet we wonder why we don’t have a common American culture anymore. Gone are the days of sitting down at 8 PM every night to watch the typical variety show. Instead we have reality shows like Big Brother, which clearly cater to the lowest IQ and lowest common denominator.
Boy, am I glad I don’t own a TV.
My impression is that almost the only people who still watch network TV are blacks and some elderly people who are computer illiterate. I suppose some people who have children must also keep a TV in the house.
Anthea,
I could spend the rest of my life watching documentaries on Utube and never sound the bottom of the offerings. Thousands offered, many from the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s, when you could trust your lying eyes.
The hearings on Jan 6 so- called insurrection are IMO for the Grinds sitting around the break room table at whatever job USA. Basically, non- affiliated potential voter and community influencers heading into the pre midterms.
If you wondered if voting mattered, 2020 proved that it does not, yet so many talk about 2022 with some hope. Even if they counted the votes, the candidates are much the same.
I think there is a good chance that Fake Trae is raging and frothing at the mouth and attacking people without provocation even more than usual is a result of brain injury from the quacksine. Actually, quacksines, plural, because he’s probably done all the required (lol) boosters etc.
He’s going to come out of this with multiple personalities before this is all over.
So long as a “brief illness” doesn’t get him.
“He’s going to come out of this with multiple personalities before this is all over.”
And each one will log in as a different user here at Clusterfuck Nation. Yeah, that’s gonna be fun…
I’m voting “Brief Illness” or “sudden death from unknown reasons”
Or if he’s over 60, “natural death”
Yep. That’s why I come here…it’s the constant stream of advice from the virologists, epidemiologists, domestic and foreign affairs analysts, economists, and any number of experts in so many other fields. There’s such a wealth of knowledge here. Fascinating.
I should have also mentioned the psychologists specifically.
Rage on, Fake Trae. Rage on.
And the narcissists like you, Mary QAnon
Since you don’t know what a narcissist is – sure, Fake Trae, sure.
Two of the loudest voices against the MRNA gene therapy you gleefully injected yourself with literally created MRNA technology and worked in vaccine development at Pfizer before serving as its vice president.
You are very smart.
Never saw such a dumb, willfully ignorant person believe he’s smarter than everyone else. It’s pretty funny. Usually he only comments 1-2 times. He went a little berzerkers this week.
I am guessing because he knows his team is about to lose bigly.
Blew up my TV, but still got my goddamn computer.
tom why can’t you be more careful? And again, why on Earth are you cursing the Lord. He wasn’t the one who blew up your tv, tom.
” He wasn’t the one who blew up your tv, tom.”
SSL,
And you know this for a fact? I read somewhere that he is a vengeful God, and perhaps caprecious? Does He not have a sense of humor? Could it not be another sign of the apocalypse?
Or, is it simply that “God don’t make no junk”, but perhaps Roku does?
Well yes, perhaps tom is watching something he shouldn’t. That could definitely be a possibility lol. I do have a tv but have no cable so everything is streaming. Roku is a blessing then and I guess a curse for some. Perhaps tom is turning blessings into curses?
He blew up a fucking bush!
German European MEP Christine Anderson gives another rousing speech decrying WEF/globalist tyranny.

“EU” MEP
Heroic.
It is good to be reminded people like this are still fighting.
No longer a theory…

It doesn’t matter how many times you say it, only how many times they hear.
Huh, something is not adding up here.
The new Ford F150 EV was promoted as being an ‘affordable’ electric truck, retailing for about $40,000. But a few are turning up on dealers lots now with a sticker price of $141,000. Biden was up in Detroit last year promoting these things, billing them as Everyman’s vehicle, like the Ford Model T a century ago. Ford claims to have hundreds of thousands of reservations for this F150, so many that they can’t keep up with demand. However, a column in the WSJ a few weeks ago made the claim that 70% of Americans have less than $400 in the bank, and live week to week on $500 per week. Ford competitor Rivian in Indianapolis originally priced their EV truck at $67,500, but has since raised the cost to $83,500. On the Motley Fool site the claim was made that even at $83,500 every unit sold would result in a $15,000 loss, that the truck needs to be sold for at least $110 thousand for the company to remain solvent. In addition there is a required $15,500 subscription payable over 5 years.
So what gives? Is the EV Revolution just another just another scam based upon wishful thinking, lies and false hope? Some of these companies (Ford, GM) have promised to end all ICE production by 2030
I’m just back from shopping. Passed a local gas station running a promotion, Gas at $1.26. People lined up waiting. Reminds me of the ’70’s. I guess you could call it shrinkflation.The jokes on them it’s $1.26 a quart. Sounds like a deal. They sell it by the liter in Europe so why not by the quart?

Numbers!
Estimates say there are 330 million active cars and light trucks in the country, plus how many overseas. Add on the vehicles in the trucking industry.
Now take the proverbial elites, the 1%.
To replace the fleet of 330 million I say five years will require 3.3 million cars or over 600000 per year.
That is if only the 1% can afford the machines, right now more than that can afford a Tesla or a PU truck EV.
The numbers game, if 5% can make the transition that is 3 million per year.
Some questions for the EV proponents.
Can the car manufacturers make 3 million a year?
Can the grid handle 3 million more cars charging per year?
What effect on price and delivery will the well understood resource limitations have on the EV production bottlenecks?
How much more fossil fuels will we need to produce the electricity, produce the windmills and solar panels, produce the plastics for the EV cars, produce the infrastructure needed to make 3 million more EVs per year, and add this onto the FF required to run the rest of the auto fleet, the other 300 million.
Kerry, the hair looking for a brain, complained this week that the FF industry is expanding now and it will be catastrophic for AGW. Why can’t these people realize that EVs are not the answer and do something else, if there is something else.
Twenty more years and cheap oil is history. Then reactionary solutions will be automatic, no choice. EVs are contrary to what is needed.
I just checked the local Ford dealer. He has one F-150 lightning. Price 84 G’s and change. From the specs the range is 230 miles but there is a caveat as follows.
Fine print says: “EPA-estimate metric: these are contingent on ideal conditions within a lab. Real-world situations such as carrying passengers or cargo, using climate control, driving style, and ambient temperatures can affect actual metrics. ”
Tells me the EPA estimate numbers are a joke basically based on ideal conditions in a lab. So 230 miles huh. , Basic New England winter storm. 10 degrees F. Run heat/defrost full blast, -35 miles, add a couple passengers and some weight in the bed, -30 miles, Wipers full bore,all lights, maybe some heated seats for comfort, -25 miles, Pushing through snow resistance in road.Who knows. Range ???? I wouldn’t leave the neighborhood. Forget about a ski or sledding trip with a trailer.
I spend a minimum of $84,000, plus extras, plus sales tax, plus fees less my trade-in. Say about $95,000 – $30,000, or about $65,000. For this I can drive to get groceries, that’s it. Forget about seeing my grandkids – unless I drive there around 11 AM and return about 2 PM, when the traffic is at a minimum. Not light, just at the minimum. Forget about seeing them in July and August because I’ll have to put on the AC. Forget about driving to Foxwoods, it’s 90 miles each way, so I’d probably have to charge up before I leave CT.
Now compare that to my current car, a hybrid RAV 4. I owe about 6-7K on my car loan, which I’ll be paying off shortly. I’m now getting about 48-49 mpg, and summers and winters I get about 38-42 mpg. I still have free service for about 1.5 years more.
Decisions, decisions. What should I do?
What should I do to get groceries?
lots of options
uber
bike
walk
get a cheap car
get THRIVE etc deliveries. I tried ‘imperfect food’ but didnt like it.
“Healthy young people are dying suddenly and unexpectedly from a mysterious syndrome – as doctors seek answers”

What could it be? For some reason, I do recall a few companies linked to one another producing a genetically engineered product that their own internal data showed was highly dangerous, and the most famous of those companies attempting to hide documentation on this matter for 75 years, before a court ordered them to begin releasing the information to the public.
I also recall that said company had paid the largest fine for healthcare fraud in history. And, I kid you not, they tried to force their genetically engineered frankenproduct on the public by refusing them work, travel, or participation in society.
Could there be a connection?
So many questions.
I’m so tempted to copy-paste your post verbatim (I’d maybe take out the ‘franken’!), with the link to the Daily Mail article, into another email to my MP (who is already sick of me).
And then add the link to Christine Anderson MEP and point out what a politician with integrity looks like.
But he (my MP) is only one out of 650, of whom I’d guess 550 are complicit, with varying degrees of knowledge regarding the full dystopian agenda.
Brian Gerrish continues to think a lot of them are just plain stupid – it’s difficult to tell. But I know that 18 scientists and others. including Mike Yeadon, Tess Lawrie, John O’Looney, Anna de Buisseret, had an audience at Westminster last year with Sir Graham Brady, where they gave hours of evidence, to which he responded that he would do what he could (which turned out to be nothing at all).
John O’Looney said Sir Graham didn’t even look surprised at the evidence. He just listened to it and did nothing. So John thinks they’re all complicit, since they all talk to one another in the Uniparty (I actually used that term to my MP, who’s meant to be the Opposition – I’m past the stage of decorum with these quislings).
I was very decorous in my email to Sir Christopher Chope, though, who spoke out on behalf of the vaxx injured and was decried as a purveyor of discredited conspiracy theories for his pains.
Most people who get the vax are fine. Just like most Whites who move into Black or Muslim ghettoes. Of course something bad will happen to them at some point, but who is to say it wouldn’t have happened in a White neighborhood, right?
You’re becoming a caricature of yourself.
Pretzel Man.
It’s called an argument, you little fool. If you can’t meet the challenge, your ideas are wrong.
‘You little fool’ to a 70-year-old.
Wow. Argument at its best.
I wasn’t talking about blacks or whites or muslims. Take your race arguments to a race thread.
I’m betting if we got you two in a room you’d be best of friends within the hour. Thick as thieves, you’d be.
You called me stupid the other day. And have insulted me many times. I have no reason to be particularly polite to you.
But I’m trying to debate in the main, using the Vax to talk about other things, and you are refusing the challenge, unable or unwilling, or unwilling because unable or because you simply don’t even understand what a debate is, or perhaps my model – which I explain above.
Back to the non-debate: Your little study has six people – that’s not viable. Too small. All elderly. Bad things happen to the elderly all the time. You’d be better of focusing on the young who have been jabbed, but of course you wouldn’t know them, and it wouldn’t have the same emotional appeal to you. As a woman, the feelz are very, very important needless to say.
When we really get into statistics, we begin to predict what may happen on the basis of what has happened. It starts to become meta-physical or beyond the physical. It hasn’t happened yet! And mathematics does get into models far beyond the physical as we know it. But such models may yet explain things we haven’t seen – yet.
You don’t seem to understand the difference between information that is an illustration of a reality and data that is wider evidence of it. But no matter. What matters to you is to insult women, which is a bit of a yawn to most people.
The article referred to in Night Owl’s post, which I said I am considering sending to my MP, is about young people. Hence more important to convey to him than my anecdotal illustration.
But healthy, extremely fit, non-smoking 69-year-old women very very rarely have heart attacks. So the illustration (which does not claim to be data) still stands.
What is also important is that none of these incidents, including my husband’s collapse and the death of our postman’s wife from a blood clot on the brain, are recorded on the UK’s vaccines adverse events recording system (Yellow Card). That too is an illustration of something very important, viz the level of under-reporting.
