"They never prepared for algorithms that could map everything. For personnel pre-positioned everywhere. For a president who counts every week like it's his last." — VP JD Vance
Every day is like Christmas with Trump in office. The minute I wake up I have to go online to see who he's pissed off now. I love it! Maybe now this country will finally turn around. I don't mind paying my fair share of taxes, but it will sure be nice to maybe someday see a little more in my paycheck.
Might want to read "Art of the Deal." Trump has always made proposals that sound preposterous only to get others to get off their backsides and do what's best for all parties involved. And always at a discounted price.
Exactly. The Gaza takeover seems to be an attempt to get the neighbors involved in community cleanup. The Palestinians managed to turn some of the most attractive Mediterranean real estate into an oozing overpopulated eyesore. No one wants to take them in, probably for very good reasons.
I am going to say something that may be deemed unpopular but I am opposed to Trump doing this in Gaza. I am so tired of the US spending money WE DO NOT HAVE (more debt) in nations across the pond. This has no benefit whatsoever to Americans here! Our Country is collapsing, our infrastructure is crumbling and Trump is talking about rebuilding Gaza? Hey, I respect Mr. Trump. He is a man towering over most men. But I am at whits end when a nation that is $36 trillion in debt is still tinkering with rebuilding some shithole in a foreign nation. How does rebuilding Gaza help me living in the Rocky Mountains of Utah? If he's talking private investment in the rebuilding then kudos to them. But the USA is busted. We have to stop spending so much money.
You're right. WE can not afford it. But a consortium of venture capitalist can. The U.S. will simply be the project manager putting it all together. And taking our little mordida along the way.
The Gulf states have a Plan to rebuild Gaza. Just get the pesky Israelis out of the way. Bring in American and UN Troops to keep Israel in check. Do the same on the West Bank.
Exactly. Like sending Israel $4,000,000,000/year of US taxpayer debt to finance apartheid concentration camps. It has gone from unthinkable to standard operating procedure.
I appreciate that you mentioned the money spent is "taxpayer debt." It isn't money. We have no money. Technically, we are the poorest nation on the planet. $36 trillion poor.
We're in the middle of the death of the dollar. We've been warned about it for years, and now it's happening. I think that everything Trump is doing is to stave off collapse.
My read on this “idea” was that Trump was loudly proclaiming two things: we cannot continue doing the same things and expect different results; the “two state solution” is dead. RIP
Never did anything to us? Didn't they hold an entire embassy hostage during the Carter Administration? Held them for months while the ineffectual Carter tried to get them released. Regan got them released on his inauguration day, They've been our avowed enemies since the day they deposed the shah.
I agree with you on this. I love what Trump is doing so far, but his idea about Gaza is so bad that I can only hope that it's only some type of negotiating tool. Another bad idea I keep hearing from Trump is about establishing a federal bitcoin reserve. I hope he comes to his senses on these two things.
It's basically the same as the CCP song, How I love to haul manure up the mountain to fulfill Mao's Dream. We need those hotels, Tony. More rich people have to get more rich at the expense of everyone.
He wants the USA to be the leader of a coalition of ME countries to stop fighting and start building up their area. Sorta like Dubai. The UAE has turned the desert into an international focus. To be able to stop the negative Hamas in Gaza and allow free access for development, Iran must be neutralized.
I do have a question for Trump, if he deports all the Palestinians to Arab lands, who is going to build the Gaza dream? Could he mean deport all the Hamas criminals, sorta like here.
Since the U.N. and a vast majority of countries in the General Assembly recognize Palestine along pre-1967 borders (U.N.Resolution 242), the Palestinian people own Gaza and the West Bank plus East Jerusalem. It is their property and for them to decide who re-builds it.
It is their legal trillions in LNG off the Gaza coast.
The Palestinians need new elections and perhaps all the Palestinians exiled to Lebanon would choose to return? Hamas would win an election in a landslide.
I would like to see China/Russia come in to Gaza to rebuild how ever the Palestinian people choose. Russia could handle the LNG deposits and the proceeds would make Palestine a very rich state.
New hospitals, schools, universities, homes, shops. This is what they deserve for enduring 70 years of living in the largest open-air concentration camp on Earth.
Trump needs a weekend at Camp David with Professor Jeffery Sachs, Col. MacGregor, Larry Johnson etc. to receive an honest tutorial on the history of the region. Throw in an hour on the 1953 CIA coup of the democratically elected leader of Iran to ‘splain to Mr. Trump why Iran has hated the U.S. over decades.
Then pray he goes back to The White House with his head on straight and starts whistling a different tune.
I was just about to reply the same thing, Irish!! Nearly everyday is at least one mind blowing event!! The world has changed so much in two weeks!! A great time to be alive!!
I agree Tomaso. So much has been exposed and they're only just getting started! You know they must be doing something right when you see how upset the Democrats are. Now that Trump and JD and Elon are exposing all of this corruption and grift, there's going to be no way that the Dems can put that genie back in the bottle. Now the whole world will know what treasonous acts they've committed in order to enrich themselves.
I bet, RFK junior, Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard will get confirmed. I remember seeing the propaganda start in the 1970's in All in the family. Archie was the stupid one. I stopped watching t.v. years ago. The sitcoms just normalize bad behavior. I remember seeing a gay character in All in the family. I would just roll my eyes and I was 12. I remember all those shows like Carter Country where the media did it's best to keep Jimmy Carter in place. I don't think he was corrupt, but they didn't want someone smarter in there. I remember that show Alice and one day at a time, it was all about divorce, and how great it was to be liberated. Mary Tyler Moore was the original cat lady without the cats. She was having a great time with her single friends. I like to use the language program duo lingo. Almost all the characters in Duolingo are Asian, and black. There are no native Americans and a token white person is in it. There is no nuclear family in that program at all. Everything in the program is gay and trans. That just doesn't square with real life. They would slip in comments about how great Beyounce is and how building a wall is immoral. They taught me to say: build bridges not walls, like 1000 times. The program also taught me to say, the definition of family has changed a thousand times. The single father in the program is always discussing his love life with his 8-year-old son. I bet they were getting USAID money. I like the program, but the content is ridiculous.
TV has normalized so, so many bad things. On some level, I blame the Mary Tyler Moore show for convincing me that a career is better than having a family. How many other young women were influenced in the same way?
And don't get me started on "Maude" or even the seemingly innocuous "The Love Boat."
And Television today is far worse today. Watched a show the other day called "House" that openly promotes full one adultery. Not watching that one again.
Well, he’s pissed me off because I still believe in the U.S. Constitution, the laws Congress passes whether I like them or not, and the separation of powers. I know, how very old fashioned of me. Something my WWII father would have also believed in, back when memories of European fascism were still pretty fresh.
Also there’s the little matter of Elon Musk getting and his geeky Silicon Valley buds getting unlimited access to government databases full of my personal information. Yeah, like nothing could ever go wrong with that. Don’t come whining to me when all that material gets “accidentally” leaked.
Amazes me how Kunstler and his cult followers here don’t really seem to give a damn, as long as they can “own the libs”. Such a well-informed approach to running a country of 50 diverse states.
If we would abide the Constitution as it was originally intended, get the Senate back to what it was designed to do (represent the states, not the people) and stop using the "commerce clause" or "health and welfare clause" to do any fucking thing the Federal want, and then get a SCOTUS that actually does its job and relegate them back to the basement of the Capitol. We'd never be in this mess. George Washington basically told us to have open trade with foreign nations but to avoid all foreign entanglements. Boy did our forefathers screw that one up.
Living in a society such as this one should expect to pay their fair share. I don't mind paying state taxes. I get direct benefit from those taxes. I have nice roads to drive my cars on. My children had decent educations in a once decent public education system. Federal taxes? What direct benefit do I get from the taxes I pay? Nothing. And don't tell me my taxes keep me safe from thugs in dirty nightshirts in shithole countries on the other side of the world. I don't give a damn about Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Israel, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Ukraine, and all of the other places and I certainly have never met anyone from these countries bent on killing me. Never.
Trump is working hard to de-fund the Democratic Party, while simultaneously deporting much of its voting base. His long-term goal appears to be to end the Democrats as a major political force in the US, and instead turn into a small, extremist party of the coasts and of some wealthy elites. It's a brilliant strategy that, if successful, will have ramifications long after Trump leaves office.
I suspect your analysis of the end game is on the money, Thomas - eliminate the broader base of the Dems. What’s interesting to me is it appears that less effort will be required than I’d assumed. Some very simple things have happened or are happening. First, the common sense declarations such as there are two genders, boys can’t play girls’ sports (or share locker rooms), DEI is toxic, gender surgery on minors is prohibited, etc. These are a cold slap in the face for the leftists, as no one with a lick of common sense would oppose those declarations. Secondly, it appears that mere exposure of the political grift will shock the senses of normal Americans, as there are few people who have ever predicted the magnitude of the grift. Normal Americans find the policies and actions of the Democratic Party to be repulsive and those normals will continue to leave the party.
The founders, especially Washington, were very skeptical of “parties”. We should ALL be Americans putting America first. Our disagreements should be on the best, most efficacious way to support our country and limit our Government
Do mine eyes deceive me but am I reading a comment from someone who read gorgeous Georg's farewell address? Partisan politics, he said, and I paraphrase, will destroy the country as people focus first on the needs of the political party while the country rots.
Way to go Madjack! His farewell address is hard reading as George uses words and grammar most numbskull Americans can't comprehend but it should be required reading for every high school Freshman. IMO.
I fervently pray that the Democrat party is totally eliminated to nothing more than a fragment of itself and that it has no material influence on any aspect of American life.
I dunno. To me the problem is that too many Republicans, Liz Cheney types, were also involved in the deep state funding. Will the Democratic party shrink as it loses money and power? Yes, of course, that is already happening. Will it make some sort of comeback at some point in the next few years? Judging by history, again, yes it will.
Right, and it will come out that lots of them had their hand in the cookie jar as well. Too many were in favor of funding Ukraine, and now President Zelensky has said that most of the funds that were supposedly sent to Ukraine did not, in fact, arrive there. People were, in fact, using Ukraine to launder US taxpayer dollars for their own personal gain, and folks need to be forced to resign from office and be criminally prosecuted for that, people in both political parties.
Let's hope it does come out, about ALL who were in these play for pay schemes and what they did. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians...all of them. That would be transparency.
Yes, as said many times, the Deep State needs to go and no one is more dedicated to doing just that than Trump and his crew. I will not use the word Mob with Trump as they lost their control of the government in January. They are still lurking out there trying to figure out how to torpedo Trump and “win” the next election.
Hey, look around, we have a few of them commenting copious amounts of BS on this blog.
If you want go to the East, you can east or west. Reality is round. If America conquers the world, voila, Globalism has conquered. I've lost you, right?
I fervently pray that ALL political parties are eliminated and America always comes first for everyone. Political parties have done nothing but spend us into a $36 trillion dollar abyss, wage illegal wars, spend our strength and means, kill our young men and women in wars, ignore the border, supplant the white race with unidentified mutts from the south, grow the government, grow the grift, grow the corruption.
We as a Americans should eschew political parties at all cost. It is a failed system and has done nothing but take from us freedom and wealth, create problems and then refuse to solve the problems.
All of America's problems today come down to 535 individuals in an organization called Congress. Congress is evenly divided between two political parties. Nothing gets done. Nothing done benefits Americans. These 535 fuckers are to blame for it all.
Political parties belong in the ash bin of history.
Is he simply de-funding the Democrats or trying to save the US from economic collapse? I'd bet on the latter; it just so happens that many of these high-priced programs also benefitted the Democrat party and individual Democrats.
Yes. No more frittering away money by corrupt Democrats. If we are weak and divided, how can we serve Zion? We're gong to be ruled directly from Tel Aviv now via Trump.
Good stuff thank you. And About going after the medical fraud complex, good news everyone: it’s already under way.
Kansas - in conjunction of 5 other states - is suing Pfizer for Veterinarian CEO Bourla’s boldface lying about the COVID-19 injection’s safety & effectiveness with regard to mass miscarriages, myocarditis & pericarditis, death, along with beefy claims that it would stop transmission when they never even tested for it.
Almost no one outside of our circles knows about this lawsuit. How did they keep this quiet? Pfizer buys news advertising, not to sell their poison (their bought and paid for doctors do that), but to prevent these organizations from reporting on their crimes. These fourth estate fifth column whores will not report anything negative on those paying their bills. Whoever has the gold, afterall, makes the wretched rules. Watch (video at bottom): https://substack.com/@tritorch/note/c-90337943
I would like to see all advertising for drug companies stopped. If you can't advertise cigarettes on TV, why should we be subjected to constant, non-stop advertising of drugs whose names we can't pronounce to treat diseases that we've never heard of before? Why can't we go back to a time when we trusted our doctors to tell us what our afflictions are and prescribe what they know is best for us?
Those ads are simply to curry favor from the various networks, insuring favorable coverage should any difficult circumstances arise. The more arcane the disease, the more unpronounceable the medication being advertised, the better. Media outlets charge top dollar for those Ads, and the pharmaceutical companies consider it money well spent ... an insurance policy so to speak.
Ultra-conservative Kansas of all places! Great news! My Primary care guy just quit, and although he wouldn't admit this to me directly, I think a large part of it was being forced to swallow the CV-19 bullshit. He was an early skeptic, but of course turned on a dime as it went on, no doubt due to AMA, HMO, and big pharma pressures.
Most doctors are drooling morons. To get through medical school, they have to be less than human. That becomes a habit. To keep their jobs they have to be less than human. That means being stupid too, despite their above average IQ's.
Was his practice forced by Obamacare to close, with him becoming a 'hospital employee' ?
A very large issue, since this accounts for somewhere near 80% of practices, is the hospital administrators, ever mindful of the bottom line and their bonus, hold the economic anvil over the heads of the physicians. They can drop it at any time.
The result is they practice medicine without a license by directing the physicians regarding how they 'provide' ...
BOTH of my MD's -- who swallowed the CV19 BS, and would only see patients virtually, for the duration of the madness -- have moved to lucrative (for them) CONCIERGE medicine.
First, you have to pay to be a patient at baseline.
Then you have to PAY MORE (thousands a year) just to have them as Physicians.
While I understand we still live in America and a private practice can respond to market forces as they see fit - no one seems to care what the downstream effects of Obamacare are. What would be harder to untangle is what the Insurance companies and regulations force down their throats. The hospital system under which they practice could care less.
I've tried to raise the issue. NO ONE CARES.
Additionally, our local hospital is sliding rapidly downhill. Run by CEO's and not MD's. Staffing issues are the least of it. It used to be a gem. It is so sad.
My former PCP went to concierge medicine many years ago. He was fed up with being a data entry coder tied to a laptop. Flat out told me it wasn't why he became a physician.
Our local hospital is mostly run by doctors but that doesn't make it better. They get tax money and they have a publicly elected hospital district board but they also have a private hospital board. Story goes that they keep the nefarious topics on the agenda of the private board. 🧐
I've concluded that the Primary care docs are nothing more than gate keepers. Anything weird, you get referred to a specialist (for extra $$, of course), and for everything else you get a prescription drug, a lab test of some sort, or a generic instruction (don't eat so much fat, stop drinking so much, stay off it for a few days, etc). Pretty much plug and play, you might as well be interacting with an online algorithm, which not surprisingly, is getting more and more popular now as well. Very little medicine or alleged "health care" going on in my experience.
There is a major change in primary care that has been going on for a while. First, the Hospitalist, hospital employees that take over as the attending when you are in the hospital. A good indication of the grift here is that in your D/C orders, you are to visit your Primary care guy within two weeks of discharge. Double dose of corruption as the primary care guys do not do squat except book keep.
Second - is the incorporation of Primary care guys into large groups. Here in Arizona, we have corporations buying up all the Primary practices and acting as the “staff” for all of them. For a while, hospitals were doing the same, but I believe the corporations have the lead. Let me tell you from experience, the corporate takeover is hideous. When we went to our latest Primary Care guys, my first question was “Are you ever going to sell out?”
As a doctor, you can't go against the advice of your Medical Group. Also, because of the cost of malpractice insurance, you can't afford to be independent.
So it sounds like the root problem for doctors is......LOYAS! Attorneys. The most useless profession invented by man. At least prostitutes give something in return for money. Attorneys. Nothing. They just take, take, take. They suck society dry and don't produce a damned thing. And our nation is full of them.
The enemy is the mRNA technology messing with stuff it should not be touching. To stop them? Everyone stop the Vaxx, the latest number I have heard is only 20% are getting the boosters. So people are learning. The good news is that more and more folks are doing due diligence regarding their health care and the medical community is no longer trusted.
All this goes a long way toward explaining the “am I crazy?” problem. Going back years now, even pre-COVID, it’s been a common experience to read the news, see what passes for “public opinion,” wonder if everybody else actually thinks this, and then wonder, “am I crazy?”
As it happens, the answer to “am I crazy?” is “no.” The whole thing was one giant ball of manufactured consent, and, what’s worse, we paid for it. Still, as shocking as that is, there’s one upside: now, we get to see what happens when the money dries up.
We are not crazy, our culture and society IS. I tuned out years ago to "normal" society. I watch from the fringes, while also being in the middle of it (corporate job, etc.). It is very difficult being surrounded by delusional Woke Jacobin Marxists who love their jab and as a result are sick every 2 months. I quit that job though and am free. The future is wide open. No more of that b.s. for me.
Hope Bondi is up to this task...But no, Trump can't switch horses if RFK, Tulsi or Kash aren't approved by our criminal Senate...That would be a defeat....They must be recess appointed...That's what going to war is all about....Revenge....
Providence has reasserted its blessings upon our country. No one has reason to fear retribution as only justice will be meted out on a scale never seen before.
'The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.'
Yes, time to go out and kill again. Invade Greenland and then Iran. Make Anti-Semitism a crime punishable by death as in the old Soviet Union. Put the Palis in other Arab countries and then bomb them there.
Without Mockingbird Money, legacy media will need to stand on revenue from subscribers (who won’t pay) and advertisers (who won’t pay for nothing). Many propagandists will fold up their tents and howl into the Bluesky echo canyon, for all the good it will do them. Good riddance.
To live in this country, citizens develop an extraordinary tolerance for crazy. Starting with Obama, Globalists cranked the knob to eleven funneled a vast, unthinkable fortune into a full-spectrum madness campaign. Being a lunatic hustler for hire became a viable business model for sixteen years.
America’s tolerance for crazy was pushed to the limit, so we did something even crazier. We elected and stood by Donald Trump. As his triumphant second term begins and the Reign of Error draws to a close, the rat bastards cannot hide from the stark fist of removal.
Comparing the .gov's shenanigans with the Okefenokee is an insult to the Okefenokee. That is a beautiful and magical place.
That said, here are some things I'd like to see happen:
- Once Tulsi is confirmed (she will be) as DNI director, I want her to tear apart the TSA for putting her on their "watch list."
- I want Bondi to release Epstein and Maxwell's black book files.
- I want to see ALL of Biden's "preemptive pardons" not only revoked, but investigated further, as they obviously point to signs of guilt.
- I want to see the "Federal Reserve" ended. (It's neither "Federal" nor is it a "Reserve")
- I want to see the IRS ripped apart.
- Finally, I'd like to see Hillary go to jail, but that may be asking too much at this point.
I think all of these things are doable with the team that Trump is forming. Especially, DOGE.
If, say, Trump is the Michael Jordan of presidents, then Elon Musk is his Dennis Rodman. Genius. Eccentric. Does the dirty work to get shit done. Gets inside peoples' heads. And has a ball (no pun intended) doing it.
It was mandated decades ago that the United State was to have a population of 400 million by 2050. Trump will bring in as many or more than he deports. White Americans have to be replaced at all levels.
Elon Musk is dangerous. He's a frightening individual. I do not trust him. Don't ask me why. It just seems like something is off about him. A wolf in sheep's clothing. I have heard he is a Satanist though I have no evidence of such. Dude gives me the willies.
I think Musk is in it for Musk. Right now, he's doing something I like. Has he done other things I don't like? Of course.
I *suspect* he likes the idea that he's this high-profile person and gets off on it. Which means that he needs to stay on the leash that Trump has put on him. I'm fine with that. As long as he stays on the leash, and does what he is supposed to d.
I hear ya, Cank. For one thing, he's South African. I can't tell you the number of bad experiences I've had with those jerks ever since growing up as a child with some as my neighbors. They've all got chips on their shoulders the size of Teslas.
Speaking of Tesla, it's beyond cheeky of him to use the great and honorable genius Nikola Tesla's name for his car company. I'll never forgive him for that.
But he's serving a purpose for now, and I'm OK with him going scorched-earth on all the .gov assholes. Which is worse, when it gets down to it?
Very good. My adds? The preemptive pardons were done to protect the soldiers of the Mob, the Deep State. Until these folks are throttled, they are a boil on America’s butt. They are the leaders.
Remember Trump’s post card 1040? It was a great idea in 2016 and still is. Disband the IRS, or 90% of it. Run the cards through a reader and allow AI, maybe a good usage, scan out the Tax scofflaws.
Today, Hillary and Sean Duffy are exchanging blows. She is an asshole, period. She has allegedly authorized many assassinations of Dem. Opponents. Jail is preferable but it makes her a martyr. The worst thing you can do is ignore these power people, and I wish Fox would learn that, especially Laura Igraham, who I think puts more Dems on air than Trump folks.
I want to see the international network of algorithmic proof of exactly how the 2020 election was stolen and who was involved. Because it most definitely was. Then nail them.
Trump is my hero. This is the first time I've been ecstatic in years and have hope for our country. But...we need to watch out for the snakes, rats and other vermin coming up from the swamp and they never stop. MAGA and safe and sane and financially safe, etc., etc. and all good things for America again.
Is Musk really that intelligent? He never invented anything, he’s more of a businessman who buys things brilliant people create. His enthusiasm about Mars seems kind of foolish to me, quite frankly
"Is Musk really that intelligent?" I don't think so.
I saw Musk on the famous doobie-smokin' Joe Rogan episode. Musk was talking about something "techie" - I don't remember exactly what - and his explanation was at a high school dropout level of expertise, as if he had no understanding of the technical underpinnings of the subject.
Now of course a lot of people will say, "He was totally high dude, cut him some slack." Even if Musk was so high that he was on the edge of some kind of spiritual epiphany, he would still remember the mechanics of any technological advances he may have been involved with. Contrary to popular belief, cannabis does not erase your mind and turn you into a slobbering vegetable - but it does make doing math in your head an ordeal. Musk's whole stoned act was nothing but a cheap ploy to draw in more disciples (from that awesomely apathetic demographic) - and it worked. A big chunk of the stoner population is now convinced that "the richest man in the world" is going to save us from "the richest men in the world" - and build us a totally cool party pad on Mars, and feed us Brain Chips until we are as smart as he is!
Musk is a psy-op - just like Trump, Biden, Obama, Jobs, Gates, etc. A made (as in manufactured) man. His job is to grab us by the emotions and drag us into the appropriate corral.
It is a start, the USAAID money-laundering operation.
What else remains to be uncovered?
There are other thoughts out there, running a bit cautionary. Naomii Wolf has opined some of the opening of books at Treasury, supposedly read-only, offer quite a bit of information about cobtracts and competition potentially useful to those do ing the uncovering.
Remember what Musk did to the ideologues of Twitter? You are witnessing Musk’s attack mode, and I hope it continues into other governmental agencies. Military, SSA, welfare and especially immigration. Get involved and study, remove the surplus hangers-on, up to 90% of them, streamline the operation and collect revenue. That is Musk.
One cautionary note though. Can the USA keep its population employed? The Depression was caused by doing people out of work, sharecroppers for example, without a back up plan to re-employ them. They all went to the cities, and stood in breadlines. It took WW2 ten years later to finally get the 25% surplus back to work. With “Muskian” treatment will the laid off folks have an economic home to retreat to, other that flipping burgers. Protection of the workplace is important here, we do not need to Hoover ourself into another catastrophe.
If AI can do a job, fire the person. Great way to cut costs. Let the people die under bridges. Prosperity! You will own nothing and you will be happy. Capitalism can get us there just as Communism can. Go west to get to the East. Still with me? No, right?
Talk about a learning curve: Trump I was a babe in the woods, but Trump II is the Alpha Grizzly Bear. While the glass of milk is still far from full - I hate most of his foreign policy, and his energy policy is a fantasy - I am thrilled at the comprehensive ferocity of his attack on The Blob.
Team Trump has to have anticipated from the start that colossal forces would be arrayed to impede him at every step, and their strategy is exactly what is required: Shock and Awe. Knock them off their feet so hard that they can’t figure out what hit them. And who even dared hope that Bobby and Tulsi may actually be confirmed.
The great mistake would have been a Truth and Reconciliation approach, ending in a big group hug, as if these bastards actually had good intentions that went astray. What we need is Truth and Retribution: you purposely tried to destroy this nation, we do not forgive, and we damned sure won’t forget.
For far too long the Donkeys and the Elephants have been symbiotes, sharing the same agenda when it comes to the big issues, and when it comes to the biggest ones – serving corporate interests and perpetuating endless wars - it appears that they will continue to be on the same team.
But their bifurcation on divisive social issues finally led to the nation’s Mass Formation Psychosis, and half of our fellow citizens are now convulsing from the shock therapy being administered. We should all re-watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, as inspiration for the task that lies before us.
Howard, I am calling you out on your first comment. You hate his foreign and energy policies. Other than Israel, what would you suggest to trump if you had his ear?
I am reluctant to condemn Israel geocide against the Palestinians on this forum. Taken on its face, I also disregard any proposed settlement in Ukraine that tries to pretend that Russia has not won the war. That said, I recognize the fact that Mr. Trump is a master of misdirection, and that his current position on Ukraine may be tactical, to avert neocon criticism, while actually working something out with Mr. Putin. As for energy, pretending that we are Saudi America and can achieve long-term energy independence is ludicrous. Trump's position nine years ago was to end NATO and normalize relations with Russia, in which case we could benefit from Russia's gas via a rebuilt Nordstream pipeline. If that is still the president's hidden agenda, then I totally approve.
Imagine the Founding Fathers saying, I'm reluctant to speak against Britain on cobblestones laid by Tories. Or if paper makers weren't for the Revolution, then the Declaration of Independence couldn't have been written.
But yes, these Trump Cultists are nuts. Ordinary people lose the plot very easily. It's like taking candy from a baby.
Every day is like Christmas with Trump in office. The minute I wake up I have to go online to see who he's pissed off now. I love it! Maybe now this country will finally turn around. I don't mind paying my fair share of taxes, but it will sure be nice to maybe someday see a little more in my paycheck.
Only he had better watch his insane ideas about Gaza. They could be his undoing.
America First means less and less foreign entanglement not making Gaza the 51st state.
Might want to read "Art of the Deal." Trump has always made proposals that sound preposterous only to get others to get off their backsides and do what's best for all parties involved. And always at a discounted price.
Exactly. The Gaza takeover seems to be an attempt to get the neighbors involved in community cleanup. The Palestinians managed to turn some of the most attractive Mediterranean real estate into an oozing overpopulated eyesore. No one wants to take them in, probably for very good reasons.
I am going to say something that may be deemed unpopular but I am opposed to Trump doing this in Gaza. I am so tired of the US spending money WE DO NOT HAVE (more debt) in nations across the pond. This has no benefit whatsoever to Americans here! Our Country is collapsing, our infrastructure is crumbling and Trump is talking about rebuilding Gaza? Hey, I respect Mr. Trump. He is a man towering over most men. But I am at whits end when a nation that is $36 trillion in debt is still tinkering with rebuilding some shithole in a foreign nation. How does rebuilding Gaza help me living in the Rocky Mountains of Utah? If he's talking private investment in the rebuilding then kudos to them. But the USA is busted. We have to stop spending so much money.
You're right. WE can not afford it. But a consortium of venture capitalist can. The U.S. will simply be the project manager putting it all together. And taking our little mordida along the way.
Of course.
Right. Like when a psycho beats a dog into being more and more violent. Then nobody wants that dog. "Very good reasons" indeed!
Ask Christy Noem about how to treat dogs, especially when they're "hard to handle".
The Gulf states have a Plan to rebuild Gaza. Just get the pesky Israelis out of the way. Bring in American and UN Troops to keep Israel in check. Do the same on the West Bank.
Think outside the Zio Box.
That appears to have worked internationally.
And things that sound gasp-worthy and pearl-clutchingly audacious at first end up being normalized later... for better or worse.
Exactly. Like sending Israel $4,000,000,000/year of US taxpayer debt to finance apartheid concentration camps. It has gone from unthinkable to standard operating procedure.
I appreciate that you mentioned the money spent is "taxpayer debt." It isn't money. We have no money. Technically, we are the poorest nation on the planet. $36 trillion poor.
We're in the middle of the death of the dollar. We've been warned about it for years, and now it's happening. I think that everything Trump is doing is to stave off collapse.
BRICS will pull the pin on the fiat US$ one day.
My read on this “idea” was that Trump was loudly proclaiming two things: we cannot continue doing the same things and expect different results; the “two state solution” is dead. RIP
Exactly, and that means shutting down the exploits of Iran.
Right. Nuke a nation that has never done anything to us because Israel and the golden pager.
Never did anything to us? Didn't they hold an entire embassy hostage during the Carter Administration? Held them for months while the ineffectual Carter tried to get them released. Regan got them released on his inauguration day, They've been our avowed enemies since the day they deposed the shah.
Iran is responsible for the deaths of thousands of American servicemen through terrorism they’ve sponsored
Good thinking.
USAID is nothing compared to AIPAC that has Trump’s balls in a basket in Israel.
Pick on the big boys in the MIC if you want to address the real Deep State.
Watch Hegseth, he is the key.
Right. Hegseth will pluck the low-hanging fruit (LGBTQ+) but will quietly bite a pillow while AIPAC rams him from behind.
Phil out of the 20 top lobbies in DC AIPAC is 19th on the list.
Why do you ignore the 19 that precede ot in size?
Palis out! The Temple is rebuilt. The Antichrist manifests. John worships him.
I agree with you on this. I love what Trump is doing so far, but his idea about Gaza is so bad that I can only hope that it's only some type of negotiating tool. Another bad idea I keep hearing from Trump is about establishing a federal bitcoin reserve. I hope he comes to his senses on these two things.
"I can only hope that it's only some type of negotiating tool"
It is.
Said it before, I'll say it again: he's basically telling the jews and Arabs "get your shit together, or Big Bad Uncle Sam is going to barge in."
Trump is all about asking for way more than he expects to get, in order to achieve desired outcomes. Brilliant.
The Golden Pager. Bibi can call him anytime he starts to get out of line.
How many Americans will die trying to remove the ferocious Palis from Gaza?
Now it's being said that the golden pager contains a listening device. Trump was also gifted a regular pager, btw.
Interesting take, Astera. I think there is some logic in what you are saying.
SSL, is this you? If yes, a hearty "hello my dear" from the Heckler.
Marlin, Nova, I believe.
Oops! Thanks JAZ. My apologies to Astera.
I'm with you James. We can no longer afford to spend money we don't have (debt) rebuilding war torn nations. This is a bad idea.
It's basically the same as the CCP song, How I love to haul manure up the mountain to fulfill Mao's Dream. We need those hotels, Tony. More rich people have to get more rich at the expense of everyone.
He wants the USA to be the leader of a coalition of ME countries to stop fighting and start building up their area. Sorta like Dubai. The UAE has turned the desert into an international focus. To be able to stop the negative Hamas in Gaza and allow free access for development, Iran must be neutralized.
I do have a question for Trump, if he deports all the Palestinians to Arab lands, who is going to build the Gaza dream? Could he mean deport all the Hamas criminals, sorta like here.
Since the U.N. and a vast majority of countries in the General Assembly recognize Palestine along pre-1967 borders (U.N.Resolution 242), the Palestinian people own Gaza and the West Bank plus East Jerusalem. It is their property and for them to decide who re-builds it.
It is their legal trillions in LNG off the Gaza coast.
The Palestinians need new elections and perhaps all the Palestinians exiled to Lebanon would choose to return? Hamas would win an election in a landslide.
I would like to see China/Russia come in to Gaza to rebuild how ever the Palestinian people choose. Russia could handle the LNG deposits and the proceeds would make Palestine a very rich state.
New hospitals, schools, universities, homes, shops. This is what they deserve for enduring 70 years of living in the largest open-air concentration camp on Earth.
Trump needs a weekend at Camp David with Professor Jeffery Sachs, Col. MacGregor, Larry Johnson etc. to receive an honest tutorial on the history of the region. Throw in an hour on the 1953 CIA coup of the democratically elected leader of Iran to ‘splain to Mr. Trump why Iran has hated the U.S. over decades.
Then pray he goes back to The White House with his head on straight and starts whistling a different tune.
"the Palestinian people own Gaza and the West Bank plus East Jerusalem"

Iron rule # 1 in geopolitics:
"The strong do what they will and the weak suffer what they must"
~Thucydides, Athenian general circa 400 bc.
Nope. He specified "all" and defined that to be 1.7M or 1.8M devastated souls.
Forced relocations of people never go well. Just ask the Cherokee.
I was just about to reply the same thing, Irish!! Nearly everyday is at least one mind blowing event!! The world has changed so much in two weeks!! A great time to be alive!!
I agree Tomaso. So much has been exposed and they're only just getting started! You know they must be doing something right when you see how upset the Democrats are. Now that Trump and JD and Elon are exposing all of this corruption and grift, there's going to be no way that the Dems can put that genie back in the bottle. Now the whole world will know what treasonous acts they've committed in order to enrich themselves.
JHK is going to have to start publishing CFN on a daily basis just to keep up. This article is already outdated.
Restack and add on…
I'm game for that!
Coffee and Covid blog is running daily updates about Trump's exploits.
I bet, RFK junior, Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard will get confirmed. I remember seeing the propaganda start in the 1970's in All in the family. Archie was the stupid one. I stopped watching t.v. years ago. The sitcoms just normalize bad behavior. I remember seeing a gay character in All in the family. I would just roll my eyes and I was 12. I remember all those shows like Carter Country where the media did it's best to keep Jimmy Carter in place. I don't think he was corrupt, but they didn't want someone smarter in there. I remember that show Alice and one day at a time, it was all about divorce, and how great it was to be liberated. Mary Tyler Moore was the original cat lady without the cats. She was having a great time with her single friends. I like to use the language program duo lingo. Almost all the characters in Duolingo are Asian, and black. There are no native Americans and a token white person is in it. There is no nuclear family in that program at all. Everything in the program is gay and trans. That just doesn't square with real life. They would slip in comments about how great Beyounce is and how building a wall is immoral. They taught me to say: build bridges not walls, like 1000 times. The program also taught me to say, the definition of family has changed a thousand times. The single father in the program is always discussing his love life with his 8-year-old son. I bet they were getting USAID money. I like the program, but the content is ridiculous.
The movies from that era are sickening too. Blazing Saddles is a transgressive, anti-white, anti-Christian pile of shit that should be banned.
TV has normalized so, so many bad things. On some level, I blame the Mary Tyler Moore show for convincing me that a career is better than having a family. How many other young women were influenced in the same way?
And don't get me started on "Maude" or even the seemingly innocuous "The Love Boat."
And Television today is far worse today. Watched a show the other day called "House" that openly promotes full one adultery. Not watching that one again.
Oh the Love Boat was filthy. I watched a couple episodes of that and good Lord. Nasty stuff.
Yes Anna Yes.
Well, he’s pissed me off because I still believe in the U.S. Constitution, the laws Congress passes whether I like them or not, and the separation of powers. I know, how very old fashioned of me. Something my WWII father would have also believed in, back when memories of European fascism were still pretty fresh.
Also there’s the little matter of Elon Musk getting and his geeky Silicon Valley buds getting unlimited access to government databases full of my personal information. Yeah, like nothing could ever go wrong with that. Don’t come whining to me when all that material gets “accidentally” leaked.
Amazes me how Kunstler and his cult followers here don’t really seem to give a damn, as long as they can “own the libs”. Such a well-informed approach to running a country of 50 diverse states.
For the record, China already HAS access to the US Treasury database:
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chinese-hackers-us-department-of-treasury/
Do they have classified info? Would they admit that China has classified info? Is our personal info considered classified?
If we would abide the Constitution as it was originally intended, get the Senate back to what it was designed to do (represent the states, not the people) and stop using the "commerce clause" or "health and welfare clause" to do any fucking thing the Federal want, and then get a SCOTUS that actually does its job and relegate them back to the basement of the Capitol. We'd never be in this mess. George Washington basically told us to have open trade with foreign nations but to avoid all foreign entanglements. Boy did our forefathers screw that one up.
Living in a society such as this one should expect to pay their fair share. I don't mind paying state taxes. I get direct benefit from those taxes. I have nice roads to drive my cars on. My children had decent educations in a once decent public education system. Federal taxes? What direct benefit do I get from the taxes I pay? Nothing. And don't tell me my taxes keep me safe from thugs in dirty nightshirts in shithole countries on the other side of the world. I don't give a damn about Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Israel, Egypt, Sudan, Yemen, Ukraine, and all of the other places and I certainly have never met anyone from these countries bent on killing me. Never.
It's too bad the exact 100+ year (or maybe since Cain - Matthew 23:35)
history of "Israel"/Gaza can't be suddenly implanted into his brain
Trump is working hard to de-fund the Democratic Party, while simultaneously deporting much of its voting base. His long-term goal appears to be to end the Democrats as a major political force in the US, and instead turn into a small, extremist party of the coasts and of some wealthy elites. It's a brilliant strategy that, if successful, will have ramifications long after Trump leaves office.
I suspect your analysis of the end game is on the money, Thomas - eliminate the broader base of the Dems. What’s interesting to me is it appears that less effort will be required than I’d assumed. Some very simple things have happened or are happening. First, the common sense declarations such as there are two genders, boys can’t play girls’ sports (or share locker rooms), DEI is toxic, gender surgery on minors is prohibited, etc. These are a cold slap in the face for the leftists, as no one with a lick of common sense would oppose those declarations. Secondly, it appears that mere exposure of the political grift will shock the senses of normal Americans, as there are few people who have ever predicted the magnitude of the grift. Normal Americans find the policies and actions of the Democratic Party to be repulsive and those normals will continue to leave the party.
I hope you are correct with "those normals".
My in-laws haven't got it yet and they are good hearted people.
The founders, especially Washington, were very skeptical of “parties”. We should ALL be Americans putting America first. Our disagreements should be on the best, most efficacious way to support our country and limit our Government
Do mine eyes deceive me but am I reading a comment from someone who read gorgeous Georg's farewell address? Partisan politics, he said, and I paraphrase, will destroy the country as people focus first on the needs of the political party while the country rots.
Way to go Madjack! His farewell address is hard reading as George uses words and grammar most numbskull Americans can't comprehend but it should be required reading for every high school Freshman. IMO.
I believe both parties did try to better America using different formats. Until Obama!
Sorry, John AZ, political parties were bickering and destroying America long before Obama.
Please, America, country over party. Despite Musk, there is no "Planet B".
And Planet “A” is getting more effed up as time passes. Country over party, Yessir!
I fervently pray that the Democrat party is totally eliminated to nothing more than a fragment of itself and that it has no material influence on any aspect of American life.
I dunno. To me the problem is that too many Republicans, Liz Cheney types, were also involved in the deep state funding. Will the Democratic party shrink as it loses money and power? Yes, of course, that is already happening. Will it make some sort of comeback at some point in the next few years? Judging by history, again, yes it will.
I agree. Far too many useless Republicans who need to go, as well.
I've long said, "The less you expect from elected Republicans, the less you'll be disappointed."
Right, and it will come out that lots of them had their hand in the cookie jar as well. Too many were in favor of funding Ukraine, and now President Zelensky has said that most of the funds that were supposedly sent to Ukraine did not, in fact, arrive there. People were, in fact, using Ukraine to launder US taxpayer dollars for their own personal gain, and folks need to be forced to resign from office and be criminally prosecuted for that, people in both political parties.
And every last red cent of property confiscated from these bastards and returned to the US taxpayers.
Let's hope it does come out, about ALL who were in these play for pay schemes and what they did. Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians...all of them. That would be transparency.
Here is my surprised face.
Zelensky is a great guy. No more of that Day One shit. Give Trump rare earths and he'll get American boots on the ground.
Some of the money goes to keeping Z's wife happy. Million dollar shopping sprees in Paris, cars, etc. So that much arrived anyway.
Yes, as said many times, the Deep State needs to go and no one is more dedicated to doing just that than Trump and his crew. I will not use the word Mob with Trump as they lost their control of the government in January. They are still lurking out there trying to figure out how to torpedo Trump and “win” the next election.
Hey, look around, we have a few of them commenting copious amounts of BS on this blog.
If you want go to the East, you can east or west. Reality is round. If America conquers the world, voila, Globalism has conquered. I've lost you, right?
It’s called the uniparty. I found out today that Liz Cheney worked for USAID from 1989-1992. She acknowledged it in an X exchange with Elon.
Well, as the Democrat party shrinks, there are always room for RINOs to cross the aisle.
Conversely, as the grift becomes obvious, there might also be room for ethical Democrats to become Republicans.
I fervently pray that ALL political parties are eliminated and America always comes first for everyone. Political parties have done nothing but spend us into a $36 trillion dollar abyss, wage illegal wars, spend our strength and means, kill our young men and women in wars, ignore the border, supplant the white race with unidentified mutts from the south, grow the government, grow the grift, grow the corruption.
We as a Americans should eschew political parties at all cost. It is a failed system and has done nothing but take from us freedom and wealth, create problems and then refuse to solve the problems.
All of America's problems today come down to 535 individuals in an organization called Congress. Congress is evenly divided between two political parties. Nothing gets done. Nothing done benefits Americans. These 535 fuckers are to blame for it all.
Political parties belong in the ash bin of history.
Is he simply de-funding the Democrats or trying to save the US from economic collapse? I'd bet on the latter; it just so happens that many of these high-priced programs also benefitted the Democrat party and individual Democrats.
Yes. No more frittering away money by corrupt Democrats. If we are weak and divided, how can we serve Zion? We're gong to be ruled directly from Tel Aviv now via Trump.
Trump.2...remember Trump.1 got the capital moved to Jerusalem...
Good stuff thank you. And About going after the medical fraud complex, good news everyone: it’s already under way.
Kansas - in conjunction of 5 other states - is suing Pfizer for Veterinarian CEO Bourla’s boldface lying about the COVID-19 injection’s safety & effectiveness with regard to mass miscarriages, myocarditis & pericarditis, death, along with beefy claims that it would stop transmission when they never even tested for it.
Almost no one outside of our circles knows about this lawsuit. How did they keep this quiet? Pfizer buys news advertising, not to sell their poison (their bought and paid for doctors do that), but to prevent these organizations from reporting on their crimes. These fourth estate fifth column whores will not report anything negative on those paying their bills. Whoever has the gold, afterall, makes the wretched rules. Watch (video at bottom): https://substack.com/@tritorch/note/c-90337943
I would like to see all advertising for drug companies stopped. If you can't advertise cigarettes on TV, why should we be subjected to constant, non-stop advertising of drugs whose names we can't pronounce to treat diseases that we've never heard of before? Why can't we go back to a time when we trusted our doctors to tell us what our afflictions are and prescribe what they know is best for us?
Those ads are simply to curry favor from the various networks, insuring favorable coverage should any difficult circumstances arise. The more arcane the disease, the more unpronounceable the medication being advertised, the better. Media outlets charge top dollar for those Ads, and the pharmaceutical companies consider it money well spent ... an insurance policy so to speak.
Yes!
Ultra-conservative Kansas of all places! Great news! My Primary care guy just quit, and although he wouldn't admit this to me directly, I think a large part of it was being forced to swallow the CV-19 bullshit. He was an early skeptic, but of course turned on a dime as it went on, no doubt due to AMA, HMO, and big pharma pressures.
My doc is the only guy in town who isn't bought out by corporate hellthcare. And he HATES the AMA.
Thank God he said he's gonna work until he dies. But he's getting up there in age. I don't know what I'll do when he's gone.
They don't make 'em like that anymore.
Most doctors are drooling morons. To get through medical school, they have to be less than human. That becomes a habit. To keep their jobs they have to be less than human. That means being stupid too, despite their above average IQ's.
Only a minority of practicing doctors are members of the AMA.
Was his practice forced by Obamacare to close, with him becoming a 'hospital employee' ?
A very large issue, since this accounts for somewhere near 80% of practices, is the hospital administrators, ever mindful of the bottom line and their bonus, hold the economic anvil over the heads of the physicians. They can drop it at any time.
The result is they practice medicine without a license by directing the physicians regarding how they 'provide' ...
BOTH of my MD's -- who swallowed the CV19 BS, and would only see patients virtually, for the duration of the madness -- have moved to lucrative (for them) CONCIERGE medicine.
First, you have to pay to be a patient at baseline.
Then you have to PAY MORE (thousands a year) just to have them as Physicians.
While I understand we still live in America and a private practice can respond to market forces as they see fit - no one seems to care what the downstream effects of Obamacare are. What would be harder to untangle is what the Insurance companies and regulations force down their throats. The hospital system under which they practice could care less.
I've tried to raise the issue. NO ONE CARES.
Additionally, our local hospital is sliding rapidly downhill. Run by CEO's and not MD's. Staffing issues are the least of it. It used to be a gem. It is so sad.
My former PCP went to concierge medicine many years ago. He was fed up with being a data entry coder tied to a laptop. Flat out told me it wasn't why he became a physician.
My guy said that as well.
Our local hospital is mostly run by doctors but that doesn't make it better. They get tax money and they have a publicly elected hospital district board but they also have a private hospital board. Story goes that they keep the nefarious topics on the agenda of the private board. 🧐
I've concluded that the Primary care docs are nothing more than gate keepers. Anything weird, you get referred to a specialist (for extra $$, of course), and for everything else you get a prescription drug, a lab test of some sort, or a generic instruction (don't eat so much fat, stop drinking so much, stay off it for a few days, etc). Pretty much plug and play, you might as well be interacting with an online algorithm, which not surprisingly, is getting more and more popular now as well. Very little medicine or alleged "health care" going on in my experience.
There is a major change in primary care that has been going on for a while. First, the Hospitalist, hospital employees that take over as the attending when you are in the hospital. A good indication of the grift here is that in your D/C orders, you are to visit your Primary care guy within two weeks of discharge. Double dose of corruption as the primary care guys do not do squat except book keep.
Second - is the incorporation of Primary care guys into large groups. Here in Arizona, we have corporations buying up all the Primary practices and acting as the “staff” for all of them. For a while, hospitals were doing the same, but I believe the corporations have the lead. Let me tell you from experience, the corporate takeover is hideous. When we went to our latest Primary Care guys, my first question was “Are you ever going to sell out?”
As a doctor, you can't go against the advice of your Medical Group. Also, because of the cost of malpractice insurance, you can't afford to be independent.
Therein lies a big problem.
So it sounds like the root problem for doctors is......LOYAS! Attorneys. The most useless profession invented by man. At least prostitutes give something in return for money. Attorneys. Nothing. They just take, take, take. They suck society dry and don't produce a damned thing. And our nation is full of them.
The enemy is the mRNA technology messing with stuff it should not be touching. To stop them? Everyone stop the Vaxx, the latest number I have heard is only 20% are getting the boosters. So people are learning. The good news is that more and more folks are doing due diligence regarding their health care and the medical community is no longer trusted.
The fact that 20% of the people are still getting the boosters for a vaccine that doesn't prevent the disease is extremely disheartening to me. Wow.
All this goes a long way toward explaining the “am I crazy?” problem. Going back years now, even pre-COVID, it’s been a common experience to read the news, see what passes for “public opinion,” wonder if everybody else actually thinks this, and then wonder, “am I crazy?”
As it happens, the answer to “am I crazy?” is “no.” The whole thing was one giant ball of manufactured consent, and, what’s worse, we paid for it. Still, as shocking as that is, there’s one upside: now, we get to see what happens when the money dries up.
We are not crazy, our culture and society IS. I tuned out years ago to "normal" society. I watch from the fringes, while also being in the middle of it (corporate job, etc.). It is very difficult being surrounded by delusional Woke Jacobin Marxists who love their jab and as a result are sick every 2 months. I quit that job though and am free. The future is wide open. No more of that b.s. for me.
Hope Bondi is up to this task...But no, Trump can't switch horses if RFK, Tulsi or Kash aren't approved by our criminal Senate...That would be a defeat....They must be recess appointed...That's what going to war is all about....Revenge....
Providence has reasserted its blessings upon our country. No one has reason to fear retribution as only justice will be meted out on a scale never seen before.
'The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.'
Yes, time to go out and kill again. Invade Greenland and then Iran. Make Anti-Semitism a crime punishable by death as in the old Soviet Union. Put the Palis in other Arab countries and then bomb them there.
No shite, lol
Without Mockingbird Money, legacy media will need to stand on revenue from subscribers (who won’t pay) and advertisers (who won’t pay for nothing). Many propagandists will fold up their tents and howl into the Bluesky echo canyon, for all the good it will do them. Good riddance.
To live in this country, citizens develop an extraordinary tolerance for crazy. Starting with Obama, Globalists cranked the knob to eleven funneled a vast, unthinkable fortune into a full-spectrum madness campaign. Being a lunatic hustler for hire became a viable business model for sixteen years.
America’s tolerance for crazy was pushed to the limit, so we did something even crazier. We elected and stood by Donald Trump. As his triumphant second term begins and the Reign of Error draws to a close, the rat bastards cannot hide from the stark fist of removal.
He has to back away from all that Gaza craziness though. That's not America First.
"...the rat bastards cannot hide from the stark fist of removal." ~ Bob Fitz
Oh, they're going to get fisted alright, Bob. You can make bank on that.
You mean BlueCry echo chamber. FIFY.
Comparing the .gov's shenanigans with the Okefenokee is an insult to the Okefenokee. That is a beautiful and magical place.
That said, here are some things I'd like to see happen:
- Once Tulsi is confirmed (she will be) as DNI director, I want her to tear apart the TSA for putting her on their "watch list."
- I want Bondi to release Epstein and Maxwell's black book files.
- I want to see ALL of Biden's "preemptive pardons" not only revoked, but investigated further, as they obviously point to signs of guilt.
- I want to see the "Federal Reserve" ended. (It's neither "Federal" nor is it a "Reserve")
- I want to see the IRS ripped apart.
- Finally, I'd like to see Hillary go to jail, but that may be asking too much at this point.
I think all of these things are doable with the team that Trump is forming. Especially, DOGE.
If, say, Trump is the Michael Jordan of presidents, then Elon Musk is his Dennis Rodman. Genius. Eccentric. Does the dirty work to get shit done. Gets inside peoples' heads. And has a ball (no pun intended) doing it.
+ 330 million. With the exception of the Pakistani's nuking DC, may be your best ever. <3
Tanks, RA.
It was mandated decades ago that the United State was to have a population of 400 million by 2050. Trump will bring in as many or more than he deports. White Americans have to be replaced at all levels.
Elon Musk is dangerous. He's a frightening individual. I do not trust him. Don't ask me why. It just seems like something is off about him. A wolf in sheep's clothing. I have heard he is a Satanist though I have no evidence of such. Dude gives me the willies.
I think Musk is in it for Musk. Right now, he's doing something I like. Has he done other things I don't like? Of course.
I *suspect* he likes the idea that he's this high-profile person and gets off on it. Which means that he needs to stay on the leash that Trump has put on him. I'm fine with that. As long as he stays on the leash, and does what he is supposed to d.
It's working for me. For now.
Agree.
I hear ya, Cank. For one thing, he's South African. I can't tell you the number of bad experiences I've had with those jerks ever since growing up as a child with some as my neighbors. They've all got chips on their shoulders the size of Teslas.
Speaking of Tesla, it's beyond cheeky of him to use the great and honorable genius Nikola Tesla's name for his car company. I'll never forgive him for that.
But he's serving a purpose for now, and I'm OK with him going scorched-earth on all the .gov assholes. Which is worse, when it gets down to it?
That's not going to happen. Those are Tribal interests. Bad food and bad pharma too. Big money is not going to be touched. Remember, Private good!
Very good. My adds? The preemptive pardons were done to protect the soldiers of the Mob, the Deep State. Until these folks are throttled, they are a boil on America’s butt. They are the leaders.
Remember Trump’s post card 1040? It was a great idea in 2016 and still is. Disband the IRS, or 90% of it. Run the cards through a reader and allow AI, maybe a good usage, scan out the Tax scofflaws.
Today, Hillary and Sean Duffy are exchanging blows. She is an asshole, period. She has allegedly authorized many assassinations of Dem. Opponents. Jail is preferable but it makes her a martyr. The worst thing you can do is ignore these power people, and I wish Fox would learn that, especially Laura Igraham, who I think puts more Dems on air than Trump folks.
Masterful strategy. Excellent analysis.
I want to see the international network of algorithmic proof of exactly how the 2020 election was stolen and who was involved. Because it most definitely was. Then nail them.
Yes, unimpeded by our biased judiciary.
NO mercy.
Trump is my hero. This is the first time I've been ecstatic in years and have hope for our country. But...we need to watch out for the snakes, rats and other vermin coming up from the swamp and they never stop. MAGA and safe and sane and financially safe, etc., etc. and all good things for America again.
Even if everything he is doing is a big ruse, one cannot discount the amazing entertainment value.
I suppose we're in the middle of his newest reality series. LOL.
"They looked like roaches after the exterminator’s visit." That is as CLASSIC as it gets J.H.K.
The irony of AOC calling Musk "unintelligent." These people have zero self-awareness.
Is Musk really that intelligent? He never invented anything, he’s more of a businessman who buys things brilliant people create. His enthusiasm about Mars seems kind of foolish to me, quite frankly
"Is Musk really that intelligent?" I don't think so.
I saw Musk on the famous doobie-smokin' Joe Rogan episode. Musk was talking about something "techie" - I don't remember exactly what - and his explanation was at a high school dropout level of expertise, as if he had no understanding of the technical underpinnings of the subject.
Now of course a lot of people will say, "He was totally high dude, cut him some slack." Even if Musk was so high that he was on the edge of some kind of spiritual epiphany, he would still remember the mechanics of any technological advances he may have been involved with. Contrary to popular belief, cannabis does not erase your mind and turn you into a slobbering vegetable - but it does make doing math in your head an ordeal. Musk's whole stoned act was nothing but a cheap ploy to draw in more disciples (from that awesomely apathetic demographic) - and it worked. A big chunk of the stoner population is now convinced that "the richest man in the world" is going to save us from "the richest men in the world" - and build us a totally cool party pad on Mars, and feed us Brain Chips until we are as smart as he is!
Musk is a psy-op - just like Trump, Biden, Obama, Jobs, Gates, etc. A made (as in manufactured) man. His job is to grab us by the emotions and drag us into the appropriate corral.
It is a start, the USAAID money-laundering operation.
What else remains to be uncovered?
There are other thoughts out there, running a bit cautionary. Naomii Wolf has opined some of the opening of books at Treasury, supposedly read-only, offer quite a bit of information about cobtracts and competition potentially useful to those do ing the uncovering.

Still, cutting off the funds in a massive way is a good start. Letting daylight shine on it is cleansing.
Remember what Musk did to the ideologues of Twitter? You are witnessing Musk’s attack mode, and I hope it continues into other governmental agencies. Military, SSA, welfare and especially immigration. Get involved and study, remove the surplus hangers-on, up to 90% of them, streamline the operation and collect revenue. That is Musk.
One cautionary note though. Can the USA keep its population employed? The Depression was caused by doing people out of work, sharecroppers for example, without a back up plan to re-employ them. They all went to the cities, and stood in breadlines. It took WW2 ten years later to finally get the 25% surplus back to work. With “Muskian” treatment will the laid off folks have an economic home to retreat to, other that flipping burgers. Protection of the workplace is important here, we do not need to Hoover ourself into another catastrophe.
I think of the oil and pipeline workers in the Dakotas that were promised new and exciting jobs in the renewable energy sector, that never happened.
Yeah, 11 million of them, as I recall.
The snow Mexicans (Indians) didn't like it.
I thought Canadians were snow Mexicans.
1. Rumor has it that many government workers have a second job.
2. Can we keep people employed? At this point no. We have to figure that out. Maybe "bringing back manufacturing" is an answer. IDK.
3. Lots of people have health issues now. We have a lot of excess deaths we did not have before, and those are people of working age.
If AI can do a job, fire the person. Great way to cut costs. Let the people die under bridges. Prosperity! You will own nothing and you will be happy. Capitalism can get us there just as Communism can. Go west to get to the East. Still with me? No, right?
Talk about a learning curve: Trump I was a babe in the woods, but Trump II is the Alpha Grizzly Bear. While the glass of milk is still far from full - I hate most of his foreign policy, and his energy policy is a fantasy - I am thrilled at the comprehensive ferocity of his attack on The Blob.
Team Trump has to have anticipated from the start that colossal forces would be arrayed to impede him at every step, and their strategy is exactly what is required: Shock and Awe. Knock them off their feet so hard that they can’t figure out what hit them. And who even dared hope that Bobby and Tulsi may actually be confirmed.
The great mistake would have been a Truth and Reconciliation approach, ending in a big group hug, as if these bastards actually had good intentions that went astray. What we need is Truth and Retribution: you purposely tried to destroy this nation, we do not forgive, and we damned sure won’t forget.
For far too long the Donkeys and the Elephants have been symbiotes, sharing the same agenda when it comes to the big issues, and when it comes to the biggest ones – serving corporate interests and perpetuating endless wars - it appears that they will continue to be on the same team.
But their bifurcation on divisive social issues finally led to the nation’s Mass Formation Psychosis, and half of our fellow citizens are now convulsing from the shock therapy being administered. We should all re-watch One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, as inspiration for the task that lies before us.
"Shock and Awe", yes, exactly.
Howard, I am calling you out on your first comment. You hate his foreign and energy policies. Other than Israel, what would you suggest to trump if you had his ear?
I am reluctant to condemn Israel geocide against the Palestinians on this forum. Taken on its face, I also disregard any proposed settlement in Ukraine that tries to pretend that Russia has not won the war. That said, I recognize the fact that Mr. Trump is a master of misdirection, and that his current position on Ukraine may be tactical, to avert neocon criticism, while actually working something out with Mr. Putin. As for energy, pretending that we are Saudi America and can achieve long-term energy independence is ludicrous. Trump's position nine years ago was to end NATO and normalize relations with Russia, in which case we could benefit from Russia's gas via a rebuilt Nordstream pipeline. If that is still the president's hidden agenda, then I totally approve.
Imagine the Founding Fathers saying, I'm reluctant to speak against Britain on cobblestones laid by Tories. Or if paper makers weren't for the Revolution, then the Declaration of Independence couldn't have been written.
But yes, these Trump Cultists are nuts. Ordinary people lose the plot very easily. It's like taking candy from a baby.
