A legal immigrant tells the truth about liberal crocodile tear compassion:

Not long after I came to America I was exposed to the narrative that the Democrat Party was the party of the little guy and the only party with genuine care and compassion for the average American. Fortunately because I grew up under a dictatorship I could not be easily fooled by socioeconomic shackles masquerading as compassionate public policy. The truth is there is no compassion like Democrat compassion, it is the kind of compassion that lets people shoot illicit drugs into their body with the government's assistance. It is a kind of compassion that sees assisted suicide as a moral virtue. Democrat compassion is a kind of compassion that lets you rob the innocent in hardworking businesses in your neighborhood and walk out with impunity with no fear of prosecution.

Democrat compassion is a kind of compassion that tells vulnerable women it is their right to abort and sacrifice their unborn children on the perverted altar of female empowerment and convenience. Democrat compassion is the kind of compassion that tells children they were born in the wrong body and encourages and subsidizes their mutilation. Democrat compassion is the kind of compassion that lets boys unfairly compete against girls taking their records, their opportunities, and their scholarships and invade their private spaces turning back Decades of hard-fought gains... and progress Democrat compassion is a kind of compassion that allows homeless people to defecate on sidewalks and sleep in tense in public parks while watching them as they abuse drugs and suffer through mental illness...

From the party angle, yes, it’s predatory and inverted.

From the constituent angle, most cannot see the bigger picture because the Democrat party preys on their emotions. This is yet another reason why politics is mind control: it blinds many.

TV, "journalism", media, it's ALL programming and it works *exceedingly* well. The problem is that the democrats have been deeply brainwashed and as a result are trapped in a circus mirror hall of cognitive dissonance—unable to see things as they are because doing so would shatter their sense of self-worth. Being wrong is incredibly painful - it literally hurts the brain. So they cannot face being wrong. Mark Twain said it best:

"It's easier to fool someone than convince them they've been fooled."

The insightful legal alien in my initial post does a surgeons job of making it crystal clear just how BADLY they've been fooled.

Imagine trying to cope with that much egg on your face—It's practically impossible to deal with. And so they will continue doubling down until everything is destroyed. This is human nature at its worst. And if we don't overcome this fatal exploit, we're, well, in bad shape.

“A mental conflict occurs when beliefs are contradicted by new information. This conflict activates areas of the brain involved in personal identity and emotional response to threats. The brain's alarms go off when a person feels threatened on a deeply personal and emotional level, causing htem to shut down and disregard any rational evidence that contradicts what they previously regarded as "truth".”

Another related mental state which feeds cognitive dissonance is mass formation psychosis a form of public hypnosis studied by Solomon Ash and publicized by Mattias Desmet, a Belgian clinical psychologist during the Covid hysteria - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc0eIkdLAbA.

Nope. Normal human behavior. Ash found that subjects supposedly filling out a job application would leave a room filling up with smoke if by themselves. If in a group, they would stay. What does that tell you about "democracy"? People are better alone, yet too much aloneness leads to mental illness for most.

Milligram found out that some 65% of subjects would deliver what they thought was a lethal shock if ordered to by an authority figure, a doctor. What does tell you about human nature?

Such experiments aren't allowed any more. People can't deal with knowing who they are. But the experiments were done and repeated so we know. Democracy is contraindicated. People are too flawed to be allowed to vote for the most part.

On 9-11, many workers hiked all the way down the towers to the exits, only to be told by their bosses and security that it was safe and they should return to their desks. Most hiked back up to die in the fire. My wife worked in a high-rise (not in NYC) at the time and they did training in the aftermath. Her gay male boss assigned her a job in the event of a catastrophic event, that she should stand at the door and guide everyone to the exits before she got out herself. I told her to tell him to go fuck himself. Get out as fast as you can if something bad happens. Let the fag burn.

In an emergency, often the first person that you talk to will determine whether you will survive.

What happened on 911 was and is anomalous. No one there that day would have ever been in any kind of similar situation. What people do when they are in anomalous situations is "reality check" with anyone standing nearby--"are you seeing what I'm seeing?"

The response they get will determine what they do next, stay put or race for the exit.

It's been a lot longer than 11 years, bub. Dems are overwhelmingly ideological more so than "the other side." Most Americans are born with a liberal mindset towards fairness, meritocracy, compassion freedom and liberty. ever read the American Creed? Dems have used their wealthy elites to reinforce a myth that "the other side" are bigots, misogynists, racists, antisemites, nazi's, fascists, white supremacists , etc. etc. with very little proof. When life long dems began turning away from the democratic party, and even some that did not, but began to infiltrate Republican circles they found conservatives and republicans to be the kind of people you projected the Democrats to be. What's destroyed the Democratic party is the embrace of cultural Marxism, Saul Alinsky tactics and Bolshevism, this has been largely true since the days of Wilson. Wilson was the first progressive globalist and they've been dragging this country down ever since.

Wrong again! The main cause of the Depression was the technology changes that rapidly changed the balance between the agrarian and urban balance of employment. Hordes of rural folks went to the cities to an employment situation that had no room for them. Steinbeck documented the effect well in”The Grapes of Wrath”. The country supplied its needs quite well with 80% of the people working, that was the Depression. If Tariffs had been enforced the depression would have ended when more manufacturing would have been started with time. FDR found a quicker way to increase domestic production, WW2. Manufacturing “bullets” puts lots of people to work, the ones that moved to the cities.

The tariffs under the act, excluding duty-free imports, were the second highest in United States history, exceeded by only the Tariff of 1828.[3] The act prompted retaliatory tariffs by many other countries.[4] The act and tariffs imposed by America's trading partners in retaliation were major factors of the reduction of American exports and imports by 67% during the Great Depression.[5] Economists and economic historians have agreed that the passage of the Smoot–Hawley Tariff worsened the effects of the Great Depression.

The USA has been "used" by the world for far too long with balance of trade deficits adding a substantial part of the debt. With Trump in office, that shit is going to change. America first!!!

FYI: My great-great grandfather was named Gerald Michael McWilliams. He was Irish/Scottish (we don’t know which) and in 1849 he sailed on a tall ship from Ireland/Scotland, around the horn to San Francisco and became a 49er. Later he migrated to Southern California where his posterity became navel orange growers.

I was born in LA on Cinco-de-Mayo in 1948 and adopted by Redlands, California navel orange growers who were the victims of FDR’s 1933 executive order to confiscate the people’s gold. I grew up hearing the stories of what happened to the Southern California economy after FDR devalued the gold from $20.00/ounce to $35.00/ounce.

Still trying to convince everybody tariffs are taxes, you are a persistent dip shite. Tariffs and taxes both generate government revenue but serve different purposes. Tariffs are fees on imported or exported goods, often used to influence trade by making foreign products less competitive. Some (you) might call them a tax, but that is just a simile dip shite. Taxes are financial charges on individuals or businesses to fund government activities. tariffs can create conflicts between nations, but they are used all over the world even Canada on the USA.

Mango,

Allow me to apologize. Although I was channeling Nixon in his various speeches, there is always a bit of truth to explore otherwise. Recently have been diagnosed with a hot case of congestive heart failure. Do not yet have an expiration date, and the doctor SAID that I can keep buying green bananas, so it is business as usual. One advantage of the condition is that I can wake every morning and say, with some truth,

"It is a good day to die"(I got more Indian in me than Buffy St. Marie, and that is near zero.).

Justice will not be done because the leader cleaning up the dysfunctional system has an inadequate moral compass and cannot recognize the value of Justice. Trump's focus is on getting the system to produce wealth again, not on deeply exposing the moral wrongs what wrecked it. The perps will walk, and do so in fine style as an example to future perps. Some of these players are more than simply criminal, they are Satanic and steeped deeply in iniquity, performing acts unimaginable to ordinary people. To let them walk is beyond a travesty, but walk they will. But getting the system to produce real wealth has to happen if the higher ups are to get some of it and the lower downs are to be comfortable. So that's where the focus is, morality comes in a distant second.

Well, golly gee whiz, I just pointed that out a week or so ago. It's been obvious for awhile. You can't accept gov $ without being a surrogate of the gov. It's called, "conflict of interest."

The whole "NGO" scam just needs to be scrapped, and let's just call them "charitable orgs" which receive strictly private contributions. But "charity" just doesn't seem to be a thing anymore. Instead, the .gov puts its hand into your pocket or wallet, so to speak, and rips out whatever the fuck they want.

Imagine if a "charity" knocked on your door, then held a gun to your head and demanded that you give them a specified amount of money every year or they would blow your brains out. That's called "extortion," but that is exactly what NGOs do--they just get politicians to give them money, then the politicians direct the government to use the police powers of the government to confiscate the money from citizens, either through direct taxation or through the de facto tax caused by inflation. The simple solution is to outlaw government grants to charitable organizations or non-profits altogether. That would signal two things to charities and NGOs--that their operations had better be as efficient and non-partisan as possible, and that their survival depends on convincing American citizens of the value and worthiness of what they are doing.

That is why they had to keep the border open, to allow the global Mob to operate in the USA.

It is Arizona. The state with Blue governorship that has hundreds of miles of ineffective border patrol due to its Blue hue. The state with a city that is Blue also with a huge contingent of illegals. That drugs run up into Phoenix for distribution, like Denver.

My main beef with Canada, because Trudeau has joined the Liberal globalists against Trump and does not seem to realize that as the USA goes, Canada goes. Especially the West. I saw a proposed map of re-organized North America where the mid-wests and mountain states of both countries join up with the USA South to form a new country, that is Reddish hued, whereas the Northeast USA and Eastern Canada form country number two and the west coasts of both form country number three. The last two are of course Blue. I see possibilities such as the West Coasts allying with China and the East Coast with Europe, against the Heartland.

I think you are right, that areas of Canada are infused with the same evils as the USA. They should be insisting on the USA enforcing its border as much as the USA insists that Mexico enforce their southern border.

Look at what China is doing right now, exporting people, infrastructure, influence around the world. They tried to buy influence at the Panama Canal and were incensed when an American interest bought both of the ports they were trying to get into their camp. It was interesting that when Trump announced that in the speech, China declared “war” on the USA. The three phase war that Trump is envisioning, IMO, has already started and it has infuriated the traitorous elements in the USA and America’s adversaries overseas that he is doing something about it.

Canada, Greenland and Mexico are going to have to make a decision, support his worldview and form a legitimate economic union under one “flag”, or align with another of the tri-partite economic structure. If the USA loses all of them, we will still be strong but isolated. The rest however become minor players on the word stage as the USA pulls all the manufacturing back into the USA. We are the biggest consumer base of the world. Not Canada, not Mexico, not Greenland. Not China, Russia, Israel or anywhere else. That is what the goal of the tariffs is.

Just read two articles in APPLE+

The first was about Charles 3 response to the tariffs as he is talking to Trudeau, a really good example of Europe, including Britain separating from the US and the second about China worrying about the USA isolating them from world trade. Tri-partite world is coming.

What about Phil's point: That Canada, even though a Socialist crap hole, hasn't done anything that bad to us. It certainly doesn't deserve to be destroyed by Trump's economic offensive. One is reminded of the old headline: Judea declares war on Germany - economic war that is.

Don’t care. Trump stands for America first. He also stands for what he sees in the future, Canada does not mean anything for America in he future. Phil doesn’t like that one iota and if sides were reversed I wouldn’t either. Trump sees what China is doing throughout the world and is throwing the gauntlet at them. China and Mexico have been way to buddy buddy with China with China’s desire to destroy the USA with drugs and invasion. Canada, under Trudeau, has assisted Biden’s gang to allow the destruction of America’s morality and just good sense. Trump is going to destroy every vestige of the China takeover of North America, period. China is invading Canada from the west, the US from the West Coast and Mexico in conjunction with the cartels. Panama had a near miss, on the way to Chinese control on both oceans, until US interests bought both ports. China was so incensed by that they declared war on the USA, economic for now, during Trump’s speech when he announced the change in Panama. Did you know that China has been manipulating with Denmark about access to Greenland? Look around the globe and look what China is doing to diminish the USA. People like Phil probably want the USA to go under, I wonder if it even wonder what living under Chinese rule would be like?

Trump sees it all coming and is trying very hard to shut it down. Success in Panama is good. Now, shutting down the southern border is crucial, especially in SoCal to keep further Chinese invaders out. Canada, AT, (after Trudeau) will be facing the same thing in British Columbia. They will be asking the USA for help at that time and we will give it. Always a sucker for sad sacks.

Poor Mexico will be dying in its own cartel shit when they no longer have access through the border. A real possibility of war exists here when the Mexican government can do nothing to stem the tide of encroaching immigrants bought and paid for by guess who? China in the lead, IMHO.

I believe Trump and his advisors see this all coming and much of his foreign policy is aimed at offsetting it. He wants the Ukaine thing over and done with as the “guns” need to be aimed at China. Africa is becoming “owned” by the Chinese, and they are moving onto the Middle East.

If I was you I would not be worrying too much about Israel and a lot more about our Asian friends. They really can take over the world without firing a shot.

If America conquered the world, would it still be America? We REFRAINED from taking Mexico even when it was prostrate at our feet. We didn't want to breed with them, to become them.

This is only one facet of "The Great Taking". So when will those culpable and complicit be placed in cuffs and lead away to prison eh? There is a litany of crimes here. Sheldon Whitehouse and his wife come to mind, with the fraudulent "ocean conservancy" foundation. Sheldon votes for the legislation that passes and then funds his wife's foundation? How the FK does that continue going on for years with no one saying boo??? This crook and his wife amassed millions with this racket while the state of RI became a stinking shit-hole sewer state.

And Hunter Biden is crying poormouth! Says he's broke because of his legal expenses, the loss of his home in Malibu (which is actually still standing), and the decline in his book and "art" sales.

Burn in hell, motherfucker.

I recall an instance where Hunter took a $55,000 charter flight to go to a child support hearing to claim he didn't have enough money to pay child support. That is a special kind of hubris!

Ha, Fox just said that his sale of his art has collapsed since Biden was thrown out.

Hahahahahahahahaha! Surprise, I wonder how all those buyers feel today, worse than the stock market.

BTW, whatever happened to the Burisma money and the cash from China? Even Obama made millions from the taxpayers, wha’ happened?

Sooner or later, as people see there is no justice meted out to those who've ruined their lives, the lives of their loved ones, who are allowed to kill and steal with impunity, some are going to take matters in their own hands. I think this is what's desired by the PTB. It's a tribute to their restraint that it hasn't happened yet.
