Kaboom 💥! Let’s look at the big picture - Dems are dominated by aging, inarticulate dinosaurs such as Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries, Clinton and Obama. Republicans, while lead by a 78 year old (though energetic) Trump, have him surrounded with youthful, attractive, articulate leaders such as Vance, Rubio, Bondi, Hegseth, etc.
The policy differences are stark - Dems support repulsive 🤮 policies such as DEI, open borders, boys playing girls’ sports and trans surgery for minors, while the Republicans focus on border security, economic growth, inflation and safety for citizens.
Based upon the outcome of the past weekend’s DNC elections it truly appears that the Dems have learned nothing. It’s like the alcoholic who thinks that all he needs is another drink to get rid of that nasty hangover. Seems like the Dems will be wandering in the wilderness, shedding normals from the party for the foreseeable future. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
So David Hogg's claim to fame is that he went to a school where there was a shooting and hasn't shut his mouth since then, making bank on having been at that school. Constipation of the mind and diarrhea of the mouth. Good luck, Dems.
I don't know what school Boss Hogg attended (and don't care) and what shooting but I'll bet my bottom dollar it was a false-flag shooting in an unincorporated area.
I thought you were joking - so I looked it up. JumpinGoddamnJesus! Yup, the Democrats really are that stupid.
But why not Hogg's fellow "Disruptor" Emma Gonzalez? She's female - at least she appears to have come from the factory that way - Hispanic, and I'd bet she flies the pride flag even more proudly than Mr. Hogg. Her signature "distressed" jeans would add a much-needed touch of class to the otherwise Mao-suited DNC.
I particularly loved the photo of a whole group of them smiling gleefully a few days after the shooting. They knew their ship had come in and they were going to milk it the hilt.
Yes, Black, sarcasm is dead. How do you feel about that? But we still have mixed metaphors.....
Herr Hogg: I like masks and I'm going to keep wearing mine. It let's you know who's who.
You're right on, Bird. Any of Emma's additions or modifications appear to be OEM. Both she and Hogg, from Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS, down in Parkland, FL. There was a lot moving under the rug in that whole thing.
I believe Emma and David are cousins, so it may be a family enterprise. Another dynasty germinating before our eyes. Reminds one of the Kim dynasty in North Korea perhaps?
Part of the backstory - the then (2018) Broward County Superintendent of Schools was one Robert Runcie, another Black Jesus from the bastion of academic excellence - the Chicago Public School System.
He won a national award for nearly eliminating on-campus crime and truancy in Broward County Schools, which had been a large and escalating problem. How? Well, you just stop reporting them, that's how.
His reckless administration, along with the other leftist School Board members, fostered an environment of zero responsibility, lawlessness and chaos. Enter a mass shooter, who had ample behavioral red flags that were summarily ignored and dismissed.
"Get married"? "Have kids"? How quaint. Strictly cloning, grafting, or mutilation for these kids.
If I remember the story correctly, brave Mr. Hogg pedaled his bike to school that day when he heard about the shootings - as he had previously already graduated from somewhere else. Apparently he was able to just walk right in and start his streaming exercise.
Of course everybody knows what Marjorie Stonecold Douglas was all about: she didn't want the swamp* drained.
(Actually, the Everglades is/was a river, not a swamp. A River of Grass...)
They never had to in the past because they just kept rigging elections. And if Trump and a few patriotic Republicans (the few who remain) don't fix election theft/fraud, the Democrats will come back with a vengeance.
Agreed. . . and one of the key ways the Left fixed elections was by encouraging millions of illegal aliens to flood into the country and vote Democratic. Well, now Trump is deporting the Democratic voting base. In addition, up until the last election, Democrats could count on nearly 100 percent of the black vote--that has changed too. In fact, many Hispanic men preferred Trump to Harris. I remember, after Jimmy Carter stunk up the White House, the Dems lost 3 consecutive Presidential Elections, by fairly wide margins, and they absolutely would have won the 4th without Bush lying to his own constituents, raising their taxes, and facing a strong third party candidate who split the vote. I think they are in Carter territory once again, they will lose the next couple of presidential elections. Unlike the Reagan and Bush years, though, this time the Democrats have also lost the House, the Senate, most state governorships, and the Supreme Court--they are profoundly weak right now, and only growing weaker as time passes.
And from what I am seeing at this point, I like what I am seeing from this new, younger crop of cabinet appointees. It gives me a false sense of hope and security. I say false, because, as the author mentioned, absolutely power corrupts everything. How long before this new political crop goes haywire like the Democrats did?
My father in law carries a 9mm pistol on his hip and is rabidly anti-abortion. And he's a flaming Democrat who despises every "godamned" thing Trump is doing. It makes no sense to me at this point.
These people are lost. At this point all we can do is wait for them to age into obscurity and die off. Then the younger generations can, hopefully, bring sanity back to this wretched nation.
I shared what I observed from personal observation, real life experience.
If you didn't get TDS then so be it. There's about four companies (military speak) providing countermeasures (DoD military speak) for the great culling (alleged Korona virus). Not a woke leftist? There is a God!
He wasn't at school that day & his father is an fbi agent.
That may explain where he gets the propensity to lie also his fanitical anti second amendment stance. Criminals & totalitarians prefer their victims un armed.
The weasel showed up at the school after the school shooting had concluded that day. Since that day he has claimed he was there that day. A good example of "the best lie is the truth".
“ Activism is the way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.”
The Democratic Party will continue to flounder if it is run by activists.
I have the habit of writing things down, here is professor, Edward Fesser of the postliberal order Substack:
“ Woke activism is a paranoid delusional, hyper egalitarian mindset that tends to see injustice and oppression where they do not exist or greatly exaggerate them where they do exist”
This one I forgot to write down attribution:
“ we are governed by tyrants of compassion and masters of incompetence”
Well said, Mr. K. Especially that last sentence regarding the democrat proclivity to lie about everything. They got away with that schtick for decades, twisting the meaning of common words to mean something else entirely. Like deciding that cutting a poor kid's nuts off was "gender affirming care" for one particulary egregious example. There are too many more to even enumerate: abortion as "reproductive health care," government spending as "investment," truthful dissent as "disinformation." Trump is performing the Confucian task of rectification of names, restoring sanity to discourse and accuracy to language. It is a beginning, not an end in itself. However, no lasting reform can be implemented without that as the first, essential step. May God grant him success, for all our sakes.
Okay, Yes, Trump is the leader that we need today to undo the evil that the Dem Mob has foisted upon us. I want to remind everyone he is one person, now surrounded by a cadre of people to undo the evil. It is up to us, the people to support the needed change and stop the Dem Mob from getting in the way. I point my finger first at the disseminator of information, the MSM and social media who WERE responsible for greasing the skids for the Dem Mob. Second is the RINO group, who just cannot get past the fact that Jeb lost in 2016. Their declaration that Trump is an autocrat and that they need to vote for the worst autocratic takeover, the Dem Mob, is ludicrous. Cheney and Kinzinger need to be ostracized for their role in the Pelosi Jan. 6 fiasco. Not put in jail, just ignored.
Speaking of autocracy, does anyone believe that Trump will not have to wield power to rid us of the Dem Mob, actually the Leftist Dem Mob. Remember the adage that says that a group accuses another with the activity that they are actually doing. That has been the modus operandi of the Dems for generations. The Biden Mob was the worst example of do-nothing autocracy in our history.
Sidebar - Right now, it is the job of Congress to get back their power from the executive branch. It needs to be earned. It will not be the Dem Mob that does this but the Right side driving a functioning legislative body again. A country run by an autocrat becomes weak fast, because the head man’s ability is the only resource the government has. Congress is supposed to be the summation of the talents and knowledge of 535 people, all contributing to the progress of the people of the USA. Just looking at the foibles and apparent stupidity of the two party system in Congress should put shivers down our spines and force our need to oust the Good old boy partisan club that Congress has become.
The worst thing you can do to these egomaniacs is to just ignore them, something I wish Fox News would learn. Prison makes them into martyrs for their cause.
The fact is that with the US's mailing in voting, electronic voting machines, first-past-the-post & winner-take-all voting, and the anachronistic Electoral College with its Superdelegates, there is not even a theoretical chance a Third-Party candidate can be elected POTUS.
It's a systemic problem. Proven in 1992 when Ross Perot challenged Bush and Clinton on a populist platform of slashing the budget deficit. He got 19.0% of the vote ~ but didn’t receive a plurality of voters in any state, giving him ZERO ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES.
Until America changes its method of voting in its President, its stuck with its Two-Party duopoly. Voting for a third-Party candidate in the US is the definition of wasting your vote. For the reasons explained in the link above, and clearly illustrated by the Perot example, a third-Party candidate cannot become the POTUS. A third-Party Candidate has never become POTUS in the history of the US.
To change the Method of Voting requires a Constitutional Amendment. And as all Americans know, the Constitution provides that an amendment has to be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States.
Since 1800, over 700 proposals to reform or eliminate the Electoral College system have been introduced in Congress. NONE of these proposals have received the approval of two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states required to amend the Constitution. The US is stuck with its two-Party Duopoly. Do I have that right?
Not true. Trump won three elections in a row which reflected the will of the people. The voting systems are completely rigged so you can change all of the rules that you like but if all it would take is the injection of ballots at either multiple sites like we have now or one site if the country went to a Venezulean-style voting system then it will happen without the People fighting back.
People who do not like the electoral college have the gall to second-guess the founding fathers who argued and debated about this for a very long time before settling on the current system. They knew damn well that no system is perfect but the one they chose has far more benefits than the others. Attempts to change it are subversive but, just like convincing people that abortion is healthcare, it isn't hard to con the uneducated and get them to ignore what they can see with their own eyes.
Just look, again, at the power of the electoral college. We are witnessing in real-time America's course correction because of it. Yet here we go with people with tape over their eyes telling us that the only way to "save democracy" is to change it. Good grief.
Sorry,but the electoral college stays. Imagine though, if trump, after all the bullshit he’s dealt with the republicants in both houses, were to start a third party now. Leave the fucking uniparty inthe dust with “ conservative” party? What a concept. Don’t think a third party can win? With this current crop of younguns gunning for progressives and rinos, I’m telling you it would win.
Dennis, I would guess that a combination of small states which are empowered by the Senate and the Electoral College will always shoot down the College. If the USA were to eliminate the College and go totally with the populace vote, three or four states would “own” the federal government. The “little guys” will always use the 3/4 requirement for an amendment to stop their losing power.
As they should. "Smart" people eaten up with Dunning-Krueger never fail to come up with some scheme, some perfect system to prevent people being people. It is laughable in a pathetic sort of way. They can't even see America's course corrections via the EC right in their own face. In only FOUR years we've gone from a takeover of sociopaths and jailing of political opposition, including the opposition's leading candidate, to that person ascending to the Presidency and turning the tables on the enemies of the People.
I'm talking about Jackson, of course, the model for Trump's return.
Good lord, people. I can't think of paying more disrespect to the United States of America than to sit here and crap all over the Founding Fathers' architecture and Her 250 years of being the best attempt at representative Democracy since the early Roman republic. Dunce caps and corner stools all around for some of these people. smh
Ándale, Ruth. People act as if the Founding Fathers were unwise (they didn't even have iPhones!) and keep trying to supplant America v. 1.0 with their own hubris. Sort of how Pfizer thought it could suddenly cure the common cold. We learn nothing and remember nothing.
Yep. Comes from the same place of emotional decision making that enables total manipulation of the public on any issue, any time, anywhere. Complex systems achieve a balance over time and they are often very sensitive to small changes. CO2 is a perfect example. More in equals more plants equals more oxygen equals less CO2 etc, not to mention the effects on heat, rain, snow, insects, fish and so on.
So, the same people who will tell you "climate change is a hoax and we don't need to tamper with CO2" will then tell you they want to eliminate the electoral college as though, poof, problem solved. There are first principles of logic and risk assessment that many people simply do not have and, of course, hubris blocks them obtaining those skills. The potential for making things even worse if they're wrong seems to elude the vast majority of people.
Well said , climate change is real the climate has always & will always be changeing. Humans sometimes do have some effect in smalll areas. Compaired to the actual size of the earth
The vast majority of the planet is unocupied. The best way to believe this is flying an aircraft at lower altitude so that the extent of emptyness can be seen.
Most people can't do this.
Second best is google earth.
Just spending a few hours will show most people how obvious this is.
Ha Ha! That's funny. We are the government. My BIG ASS we are. That's a good one. In an ideal world, yeah, the government works for its people. But in today's world? I pay tens of thousands to the government in taxes every year and what the hell do I get for it? Warm and fuzzies because we are helping that fucking toilet of a Country, Ukraine, fight a war or funding Isreal's war on Gaza? Is that all I get from the government that is supposed to be working for me? Hell, the fuckers can't even keep our border secure or balance a budget because they are dumber than a box of hair. We are the government. Yeah. Sure.
JHK can boot me anytime he wants. I'm just an average putz just looking for some interesting debate. Hell, I had my ass handed to me by P.B. today. Sensitive Monday I guess. Sorry if I offended.
You are right with your cynicism about government. I think my point is that we cannot, no should not, ignored the crappy government we have evolved into. Government is inherently evil as it is powered by power people. If government is allowed to run open loop, of course it becomes corrupt.
BUT, the government is a subset of its population, albeit a corrupted one. We are the government and the government is us, in any nation. The really big problem is what happens when a nation becomes too diverse with little common culture. That is where we are now. Tito formed Yugoslavia out of a widely diverse population. We know how that turned out. The EU is trying to Americanize Europe with all its diverse cultures. Not much success there. The Europeans tried to section up Africa without paying attention to cultural differences, we know how that turned out, same with the Middle East. India split in two.
So, Cankerpuss, if you had Trump’s ear, what would you suggest to offset the diversity situation, what government changes would make it work for everyone?
Where are you idealistic feelgooders coming from today? "we, the citizens are an active part of our government." I'm sorry, P.B., but I just can't believe this statement. Try writing to your "representative" and ask them for a response. Just try it. I wrote my "representative" about the border and I got back a form letter addressing budget matters and funding. Not one mention about the border.
In my state my representatives represent 750,000 people. Do you really think they care about what you or I have to say when we call? Do you really think they READ thousands of emails each day? They have staffers that do that, usually some airhead college kid trying to build a resume to go along with their useless political science degree.
The only place where representative government can truly function is at the local level where your City Council WILL listen to you if you push them hard enough. At the Federal level they don't give a shit because they know all they need is the endorsement of the political party they serve and the masses will vote for the party.
America's political system is a dismal failure. Thomas Jefferson was right when he surmised that America was too big to govern. It is. Too many people. Too many opinions. No consensus. NO POSSIBLE WAY TO REPRESENT ANYTHING.
I applaud your optimism. I really do, even if I do find it naive and mis placed.
She is 100% correct one letter being written is set to the side 10,000 different letters saying the same thing gets attention.
To many Americans have abdicated their responsibility in government to just showing up to vote if they even bother to vote at this point and cutting that tax check every year.
Thanks, PB I have used form letters already created for certain causes one such was the defense of marriage act the other was about the overall cost of Insurance.
Both efforts actually got voted on and passed and then the activist judges came in and nullified them.
"the stench from the bench is making me clench" -Dr. Michael Savage. 11:07 PM · Oct 22, 2024
The bias of the judicial system will remain until enough liberal and RINO judges attrition out and are replaced. The transformation of the USA will take time and lots of it. Until the 48% leftist numbskulls see the light and start voting sensibly, the situation is precarious. The judiciary is intended to be the most steadfast arm of the governance, and as such its duration will be the longest one to change. Patience!
Sidebar - The 2020 election "investigation" was an indication of how one-sided the judiciary had become. Four years of the Biden Mob has only increased the bias, as shown by the initial reaction of the judiciary to the Trump EO revolution.
I will acknowledge your point Ben. You make a good one. The problem with P.B. is she errupted into a cavalcade of insane insults, put downs and rantings rather than explain her position. Your explanation has merit and I appreciate your comment.
Good god, P.B., go take a class and learn how to grow a back bone! I never once resorted to calling you names like "dickhead" nor did I resort to any personal insults or attacks against you. All I did was rebuff your opinion to foment a healthy debate. You are weak and unable to defend your flawed position and as such resort to childish insults to defend your position because it deflects from the discussion at hand. This clearly indicates someone who has no business being on a comment board spouting off their opinions if they can't handle someone who, without insults, disagrees with them.
You're telling me to grow up when you are the one resorting to childish insults? Now that is interesting.
I'm done with you. Go pick some marigolds and have someone pat you on the head and tell you everything will be okay. Seems to be what you are looking for.
And one of the biggest lies of all (in recent memory): rebranding the $750 billion Green New Deal as the Inflation Reduction Act. It was done overnight ... my head is still spinning.
The late none greater - Carlin will never be replaced - incomparable wit and intellect. He saw the same world we all see - but distilled through his singular personally focused lens.
I've told JHK more than once, he's similar for similar reasons - and will never be replaced. Upon which Jim scolds me for seemingly hastening his demise. Not so, I dread the day.
Jim's bested him by five years already, and I hope for, and wish him, many more.
Kennedy believes in "vaccines" including the Vax apparently, which is no vaccine at all. The Evil Ones have changed the meaning to "injection", to confuse the masses.
The majority of people can't do this work at all, since it requires an intelligence that can contemplate meaning apart from words. Thus it is able to work with words. Thus it must be done for them, just like so many other things.
Kennedy believes in "safe" vaccines. Of course, he believes no vaccines are safe.
He was trying to thread the needle in the confirmation hearings, trying to not out and out lie, but I'm sure he'll do what's right when at the head of the HHS no matter what he said.
He had to say it in order to get past commie committee.
Why are new Borns getting a hep b vaccine first day?
If mom is tested and is not positive this makes zero sense!
The number of vaccines given to small children is way out of line with what is needed in a modern society with modern plumbing and tap water treatment.
Using Cow pox to inoculate for smallpox was genius but look at the method a needle was used dipped in the pus without all the other crap they put in modern vaccines.
As one working construction and that has stepped on many a rusty nail over the years, I am thankful for the tetanus shot lockjaw sounds awful.
The only other shot I believe in mmr for being around young kids.
Are they garbage? If we ever got information, real information from the CDC about the safety of the vaccines, it would be a miracle. The mRNA vaccine movement is criminal and will be curtailed or stopped by RFK, Jr. or his alternate. This is one of the few mistakes I believe Trump made, approving the Pence group, Fauci, and their putting the Vaxx on emergency status, long term effects unknown and short term ignored. IMHO, mRNA should be stopped as well as any other DNA level work. Trump via RFK, Jr. has a chance to undo the credibility damage that adm #1 did.
I wonder, the infection rates for some of these vaccines are so small, they are just another source of revenue for Pharma. The CDC should continuously be informing the public about disease risks and whether the vaccines are necessary.
I will tell you one thing I notice from friends, they have total trust in the government and the medical community, and get these vaxxes in spite of the contrary information. Then they get Covid and buy the Government BS about how it makes it weaker.
"Jaw-dropping’ Study Finds Vaccinated Children Have 170% Higher Risk of Autism"
"The peer-reviewed study also found that vaccinated children had a 212% greater likelihood of developing other neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD, epilepsy/seizures, brain inflammation and tic and learning disorders."
Sasha Latypova has done numerous interviews on the work of the French scientist Charles Richet, demonstrating how childhood vaccines have caused the explosion in anaphylaxis and food allergies. Not to mention that 70% of SIDS deaths happen within a week of vaccination, and I think 48% within 2 days of vaccination.
So many people died following the smallpox vaccine that thousands of people marched in the streets against vaccine mandates, which were finally revoked as a result. The history of the eradication of smallpox is simply one of improved sanitation and living conditions. Deaths from the diseases which vaccine mythology claims were stopped by vaccines had reduced almost to zero, in all cases, before vaccines were even introduced. Those for which no vaccines existed followed the same trajectory. And that's before you look at the polio 'vaccine' for a disease (acute flaccid paralysis) which was actually caused by DDT.
Re tetanus, a lot of young women in Kenya have reason NOT to be grateful for that 'vaccine'. The WHO had been trying for years to develop an infertility vaccine, which was injected experimentally - by the Gates Foundation, who else? - into a million young women and girls (as young as 8) in Kenya - without their knowledge. The vaccine was bizarrely (a) not given to boys/young men, (b) given in FIVE doses just to make sure and (c) given in the absence of a tetanus problem. Those young women went on to be unable to carry a pregnancy to term because the 'vaccine' was laced with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This same outrage was committed against young women in various other countries, but it was only in Kenya that the truth came to light officially.
Never take a vaccine from people who think there are too many people in the world.
At this rate of incredible progress towards restoration of the Republic, Trump will probably be able retire early and hand over the keys to JD in 2026.
Cincinnatus Trump will go down in history as the greatest American president, ever, who will have completed the unfinished business of 1776. Greater than even the legendary Geo. Washington himself. I suspect George would agree.
Agree, and I am MAGA... BUT... several MAJOR flaws are evident... one:
TRUMP on Truth Social:
"South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won’t stand for it, we will act."
Obviously... ISRAEL is the same and far FAR WORSE! Genocide! land thefts!! Use of white phosphorous on civilians! 100,000 innocents dead, 100,000 innocents wounded!
Is this an improbable lack of self-awareness... or evidence of being controlled by Israel/AIPAC??
I can't agree with you about Israel, AD, but yes, in SA farm confiscations have begun. It's only a short jaunt from dispossession to liquidation -- as we know from the fate of the 'Kulaks' in Russia & Ukraine 1931-1933. Famine is also in the offing. SA is in a state of total economic & social collapse ... and the only thing left to do is blame Whitey even tho Whitey is less than 10% of the population. Abd we'll see how the formerly civilized west reacts when the killing really gets going. I think the elite in the Netherlands, Canada, the UK, Germanym even the USA, will be down with it.
And we know the blacks are sooooooo gooooood at farming and feeding themselves (See Zaire or Zimbabwe and what happened there when the blacks killed the white farmers and took over their farms).
Thank you for saying Whites, even in slur form. Trump can't bring himself to do that. It wrecks the fantasy of unity or something. But at least he's doing something.
The Boers have vowed to fight. They might have a chance if nobody helped the Blacks, but somebody probably will. No one will help the Boers. We could at least let them come here and put pressure on Australia and the UK to do the same.
Where are you on South Africa though? Remember, to be against the Zionists isn't the same as being for your own Folk. Henry Ford was a hammer against them, but he wasn't for Whites, else he would have never brought in Black Strike Breakers or Scabs.
IMO, the removal of white leadership/government in S. Africa was a complete and provable DISASTER.
Many will bleat, but most (not all) blacks are just not capable of governance. Yes, there have been many fine blacks, but comparatively few... in S.Africa, tribal associations still rule, in the more primitive majority black nations, jungle law reigns. S. Africa will never be anything but a FUBAR. Even now, they are begging whites to come back and assist in fixing things... but only a fool would try... Apartheid in reverse.
Look up average IQ by race, it explains much... supported as well by the lack of assimilation of blacks into American society since the Civil War... "racism" is the excuse and all programs to give "equality" have been total failures... as well as massive scams bilking taxpayers. The Dem blacks in congress past and present are obvious support of this as well... Obama? He hates America, obviously. A vicious radical.
It would take many hundreds of years for blacks to go from tribal primitives or slaves, to actual assimilation or equality, even without the IQ deficit. Thus, the current problems. Liberals foolishly blame whites. They conflate logical "preference" with "racism".
Ford was a supporter of the Third Reich, which was no sin... WWII was a massive mistake, brought about by the Zionist jews and assisted by scumbag Churchill... Hitler was a great leader (Que the screeching!)
Can we give the "Third Reich supporter" a rest? Ford's Willow run plant produced more B-24 bombers by far than anywhere else, and his trucks went by the thousands to benefit the Russian war effort. He incidentally led a relief movement in WWI for besieged Belgium and was a strong peace advocate.
Also, in the mid 30s Ford built a truck plant in the Soviet Union. It was a big deal at the time. Ford apparently was mainly interested in building and selling motor vehicles, not the political persuasion of the people buying them.
More nonsense. Following his epic transatlantic flight in The Spirit of St. Louis, Lindbergh received many accolades and awards, from the French as well as Hitler's Germany, but he was, like millions, opposed to our getting involved in WWII. Once it started, though, he was a tireless supporter of the war effort especially in the Pacific where he was sent as an advisor, and not only was given credit for helping P-38 pilots tweak engine performance so the they could gain enough range to ambush Yamamoto- but he was credited with downing a Few Japanese planes himself.
He received a German medal before the war which his wife called, "the albatross". A proud man, he wouldn't give an inch. She was on the side of the Newspapers, the Zionist side of course. Roosevelt was disgusted with him. But after Pearl Harbor, he begged to be allowed to serve his nation, and was finally allowed to.
The end of apartheid in SA was a horror story that led to the destruction of the country. There's no doubt the blacks caused the holocaust in SA. That's all they're capable of.
Dude, You are obviously ignorant of history, especially that pertaining to the land of Israel and the actions of its neighbors. Last I looked, Hamas attacked Israel first, unprovoked at that. It’s been that way since Israel was recognized by the UN in 1947. At some point it’s time to emphasize what the FO part of FAFO means.
No, Hugh, YOU are ignorant. The IDF knew well in advance that the Oct7 attack was coming, Israel media admits this... Bibi let it happen, to justify the long planned genocide and land thefts.
FAFO? So you approve of the mass murder of 100,000 innocents? The use or WP? The theft of all of Gaza? You are a psychotic turd.
Yes, the massive abuses and apartheid of Israel has resulted on attacks by their victims... but nothing like the abuse heaped on Palestinian heads by the Zionists.
BTW: You are also ignorant about how Israel came to be, in '47. Without the BIG LIE of the "holocaust", Israel would not exist. And appalling LIE, that has been used ever since to justify the abuse, genocides, corruption and thefts of the Zionists.
Hugh, It was and is and ongoing lie and crime of major/international proportions, extorting the German people of their wealth for decades.
You've apparently been watching too much t.v. and Hollywierd propaganda. The 'Shoa'. Hit the books my friend. 2.2 million Jews in all of Europe in 1924 Encyclopedia. Sylvia Stolz. Fred Leuchter Report. Movie: 'Firestorm Over Dresden'.
Wow!!! All those Jew survivors of the recreation camps and families with members who were killed in there collaborating to extort the Germans. The Jews must’ve voluntarily wore those yellow stars of David so they could identify with each other and concoct the Big Lie during their secret meetings while playing hide and seek in the local attics and basements. All those Jews giving up their businesses and homes so they had nothing to come back to with no alternative but to go back to Israel. Who’da thunk it? When’s the next Skin Head meeting? I wanna come and learn more!! My KKK brothers will vouch for me. I’m good, really.
Tony, do you know how utterly F’ING STUPID you sound? You and the Dude should get a room together. I’m sure you two could have a wonderfully slobbering love affair together as you read books to each other while giving each other swastika tattoos. It seems the Germans have let all Nazi stuff go, but there’s always a few slow kids that just never got over playing, Who’s the Biggest Antisemite?
Yes, the Germans were utterly crushed, physically and psychologically. They've been dying for generations, gradually becoming a Muslim state thanks to the New World Order and the Holocaust Cult. But now in the 11th hour, they are fighting back.
By the way, Ignorant Tony, JHK whose substack you’re leaving comments on, is Jewish. Perhaps you and he talk…. I bet he’d love to wipe the floor with your ass in a debate over Jewish history and their claims to Israel. Seems that’s been their land for over 3000 years. Earlier than Christianity or Islam. I won’t dispute that and I’m not Jewish.
You didn’t get my sarcasm, Tony. Yes, the Germans are fine people and have long ago let their history of being led by a madman go. But like I said some of the slow kids (Namely you, M’Fer!), haven’t let go of the antisemitic hate because you’re too fucking stupid to accept reality. You demonstrate what a completely ignorant moron you are with each time you post here and deny the truth. Have a nice day 🖕
Gas chambers constructed two years after the war. It's all a huge 'Shoa' and a huge crime. The perpetrators and their descendants have a vested interest in maintaining the lie. They are Satan's children, and it was the father of lies.
They've been examined. They're not air tight thus they're not viable, thus they were never used, thus they aren't real. Want to keep going? Show us the remains. Or the mountains of ash if you believe that part.
Of course it was turned into a religion. Of course. It could never stand up to any real examination.
That's why they (the Jews) made it a crime. Sylvia Stolz said, after her release from prison, that when there is a group of people who make the laws, but themselves are not subject to those laws, then we have a problem. A HUGE PROBLEM and it's not getting any better, if you haven't noticed.
Pluribus, when I see trump do at least one of the following, I will hail Trump as the greatest:
1. Stop printing money.
2. Audit the Fed.
3. Eliminate unconstitutional agencies such as the Department of Education and many others.
4. Seal and close the borders.
5. Deport millions of illegals (not just the bad criminals for they are all criminals for just being here).
6. Close a few military bases scattered throughout 150+ countries throughout the world.
7. Reform Social Security and make it solvent.
8. STOP SPENDING MONEY WE DON'T HAVE (balanced budget).
There are things Trump will do and there are those things Trump will not touch with a 39 and a half foot pole.
Don't get me wrong, I love what I am seeing from Mr. Trump and I applaud him but, like he was in his first term, he won't touch the real serious issues.
1. Right now, he can slow it down, but our deficit and service to the debt precludes stopping the presses. Watch the Dems screaming as they see their empire crumble.
2. He passed judgement on their holding steady on rates, he is watching.
3. It is happening as we post.
4. It is happening as we post, the reaction in LA is proof that it is happening and the border crossings have plummeted.
5. We will cross the Rubicon when Homan starts concentrating on "non-criminal border crossers. The Dems are going nuts as they watch their election cheat ability erode away.
6. Right now, Trump is looking at the Middle East. Taking over Gaza? Telling Iran that any attack on him will result in "obliteration" of Iran? Finally, someone is sick and tired of the interference of Iran in promoting unrest in the ME and is going to do something about "canceling their stamp". Keep an eye on Russia.
7. SSA is locked in, contractually, by the fact that everyone pays into the fund, so cutting benefits will be a MAJOR political upheaval, something DC just does not do. So maybe the only short term answer is the delaying of benefits or even the increase in taxes. There is not a good answer for this one. My opinion is that 2034(?) will come by and benefits will be cut back a percentage as the trust fund will be depleted and only current taxation will support payments.
8. A balanced budget has become impossible. The reason being the increase of the service on the debt has skyrocketed. I would like to see a plan showing a progressive decline in spending versus the debt, something any house hold would do under the same circumstances. It will take the same time, maybe 50 years of selective trimming to get the country in good economic stead. Kill spending and keep taxes as they are now.
9. add on: Watch what Musk is doing, USAID and Education department. Musk is taking the heat off of Trump. As he obviously does not give a damn about political ramifications, he will be an effective cost cutter. A measure of that is the Dems attacking him in droves. The more pissed off they become, the better job he is doing.
Eff the Dems. Maybe eventually the press will stop covering the SOBs.
NO doubt the DNC is not a legit political party, but a crime syndicate. The coming weeks and months will reveal further evidence of their crimes. Which is why its leadership needs to be prosecuted (including wealthy "donors") and its presence removed from future ballots.
You're a dreamer, Lugh. I like dreamers. Maybe one day it will come true. I just did my tax return. I owe over $10,000 after massive withholdings. Your dream ain't true yet.
Your money is an expression of your life force and therefore, they have stolen your lifeforce, in addition to terrorism and psychological manipulation using MSM false narratives.
I really like your point about needing a strong opposition because power corrupts. Right now the Republicans have staked out the moderate stance on every issue because the Democrats have let them, but the pendulum WILL swing the other way, the Rs have their own issues that will be taken to an extreme if given the chance. Two sane parties was actually a pretty genius convention, it (normally) keeps the pendulum from swinging too far from the center line.
The reason two (sane) parties representing Right and Left, exist and should exist in perpetuity, is they represent two poles of societal necessities: Support for the healthy individual (freedom), and support for a healthy society (fairness). However, the Democrats in toto, and a good chunk of the Republicans, had over the last few decades been hijacked by the enemy of both, the totalitarian concentrators of power.
Don't forget "concentrators of cash". Can you imagine what it would look like if you could see every single hidden offshore account balance, know where the money originated and its full ownership? That would make some interesting reading.
In a country of 335 million people there are many more views than left or right, especially when a majority of the country consider themselves to be centrists. The two party system is a dismal failure. Look at the mess the country is in right now. That is because of the political party system. Party first, Country last. Just as George Washington tried to warn us about in his farewell address.
"In a country of 335 million people there are many more views than left or right"
Of course. There is an infinity of policy formulas for collecting people together, and for evolving those collections. But in recent (9?) decades, at least, in the US system they seem to gravitating around the two apparently natural and complementary poles I identified.
I see where you are going with your comment but I can't dismiss the evidence that is before us to day. $36 trillion in debt. No way to pay it back. Money printing to fund the interest on the debt. Inflation. No balanced budget. Debt ceilings always increased and useless. The evidence screams at us. The two party system is a dismal failure. Period. It should be thrown in the trash the same disgust and revulsion that one would have when throwing an exploded poopy diaper in the garbage. It is a disgusting creation that has failed every man, woman and child of this nation who is not of the political class. We should be ashamed of its creation and its existence and should do all within our power to eschew it, purge it from society and teach our children and grand children to avoid it at all costs.
I think our inability as yet to recognize, never mind control, psycho/sociopaths in our cultures (all of them) is our biggest political problem, more than the structure of our political systems. This failure has resulted, for example, in the iron law of oligarchy, which infects everything from capitalism to communism. It's why totalitarians rose to the top, everywhere, in the supposedly democratic West.
As I espouse regularly, government is a focus of power people, who are by nature, evil. Power people do not give a damn about people and their needs. Government, by its nature, works against its people and for its preservation.
Its the 'Temple' money magicks. You know them as the Federal Reserve. The money is borrowed into existence, only the principle is printed, never the interest. It's FRAUD from the getgo, and therefore null and void ab initio, nunc pro tunc.
For the $36 trillion to cause any form of bankruptcy, the creditors must demand their money.
Who are the creditors? What will force them to get their money? What would happen if the government just said, “You have 30 days to lay claim to all your treasuries. After that we are just going to cancel them.” We might all be surprised by what happens.
Stock market would hit 100000? Foreign investment up-up-up?
Greek clarity here. Thank you. ALL and I repeat, ALL, societies must have these two elements to be viable. Some have more of one and less of another. Some balances aren't very good, just as ours isn't very good.
When the pendulum is submerged in the government swamp of bureaucratic nepotism and intransigence it is no longer swinging. Trumps demolition team is attempting to drain that swamp. It's inhabitants will not go quietly while their home is being destroyed. They truly are the entrenched enemies of Democracy. Impervious to elections and elected POTUS... at least until now
There should not be a pendulum. Government is inherently evil because it seeks to force its people to be one way or another. Government should be a creation OF THE PEOPLE and not rule over them.
Too many people worship the Government. It is America's new god.
Government is a total scam. They have the people under a spell and therefore in a trance, using advanced technology to mind-control the population. The television is one of their primary tools to hypnotize and brainwash the masses.
The sole purpose of the television is to 'fix you gaze' at which point signal entrainment implants messages into the subconscious mind. Turn off the boob tube but beware, they also use silent sound technology over the radio and in music.
I liked the point about needing a strong opposition. There IS something a bit scary about unbridled Trumpian grandiosity running rampant through the land. So far it’s been awesome! But stuff like project Stargate make me nervy
It’s supposed to work that when one party starts getting out over there skis, people in the middle will move the other way and slowly shift the pendulum the other way. I really think this this full rejection of the Democrat worldview of unlimited immigration, trans rights over women’s rights, etc , will allow that party to kick out the activist wing that’s gotten them to the place they are so the moderates can run the party again. It’s the same thing that the Republicans did to the neocons in our party over the last few years, thanks to Trump seeing the populist movement and being willing and strong enough to take the lead.
The real problem today is that the "opposition" party wants to destroy America, not "reform" it. Enough people caught on to this to clobber them in the last election. It is going to be a tough road back for the Dems as their policies are against basic American beliefs and morality.
I remember the biggest problem with the Vaxx was it was a brand new technology with many unknowns and a history of problems. It was then, and now, never really tested for long term effects. The amount of investigation of both the Vaxx and the Covid virus itself was abysmal. Why do we even have an NIH and CDC if this is the kind of work they do?
IMHO, the leaked virus and its Vaxx component were developed at the same time, as the S protein sequence was the same. The biological weapon needed an antidote to prevent self-infection. Both the virus and its vaxx were failures as biological agents. The panic the virus release caused gave the Fauci crowd, (Trump included) an excuse to "try out " the mRNA technology of viral introduction into cells, a basic need for a cancer cure. The real shame and what I hope RFK deals with is the continuation of mRNA development. Some things mankind should not be messing with and DNA is on that list.
I also believe that a very stupid medical community, facing Covid, killed loads of people with medical malpractice, AKA intubation. They killed many people putting them on vents.
"Two sane parties was actually a pretty genius convention"
No it wasn't. Good god, Valerie. The two party political system is what has left us $36 trillion dollars in debt with no way to pay it back. We as a country are broke! Busted! Bankrupt!
The money is gone. Poof! Vanished! How, after all this, can you sit there and say that the two party system been a genius convention?
Go read George Washington's farewell address. He has some pretty stiff teachings against the political party system.
No reason to be a jerk. I personally think it was genius, I certainly don’t see countries with a multi-party system being in much better shape. We are allowed to have our own opinions on these things without attacking others.
He’s not being a jerk, he’s just being a cankerpuss 😬. But I don’t go with blackpilled opinions either. You can say things are bad but who knows how much worse it might have been without the political structures that got us here.
Or how much better if our forefathers had avoided political tribalism and focused on the Country first.
Yes, I am black pilled because I am realist. I see things as they are, not as I am told to see them. $36 trillion, my friend. That's all anyone needs to know. $36 trillion. That is going to bury us, our children, our grand children and our great great grand children. I'm pissed. I'm livid. And why $36 trillion? Because 535 assholes in DC can't get their shit together and stop spending money that we don't have and these 535 people are Republicans and Democrats with 2 or 3 useless "independents" in there.
All of this was brought upon us by 535 individuals. 535 individuals have done this. These people are charged with the public treasury and they have failed. These people are charged with administering the will of the people they represent. The result? High taxes. Endless wars. Inflation. Devaluing of the US dollar. Housing we cannot afford. The political parties have done this.
I don't print money. I don't raise taxes. I don't spend tax dollars. Do you? Nope. Neither does Valerie. Who does? Congress. CONGRESS does. All our problems are because of Congress.
I cannot understand why we as a people continue to turn to a political system that has done NOTHING but destroy our money, put us into debt, wage endless wars and praise it? We are like a dog turning to its vomit.
535 individuals have pillaged the treasury, indebted us forever, spent our strength and means in foreign nations that pose no threat to us, permitted the invasion of our nation by millions of unidentified mutts and we still, still, STILL think the political system that CREATED THIS MESS will fix this mess for us?
This is why I get so frustrated when I read comments like Valerie's. She's got a good heart, most likely a kind person.
But Americans need to pull their heads out of their asses. Everything. EVERYTHING that is ailing our nation right now is because of 535 politicians who put political party before America. I'm sick of this bullshit and I won't play the game anymore.
That’s the thing mate! You can drop out of their game, pretty much. Lots of people do, every day. But giving up sorta concedes the battle to the enemy. I like the fight in Trump’s eye and choose to hope he will bring in radically needed changes.
He may fail. Then I’ll hope on whoever comes next or ultimately, the Lord. But hope is important and I will persist ✌🏼
You have described one aspect of the Deep State, the croup that puts their own re-elections in front of the people. It is much deeper than 535 folks, it has infected all parts of the federal, state and local governments including the judiciary and law enforcement agencies.
Trump has his work cut out for him trying to undo the damage. What to do? The Deep State has been successful in disarming most ways of promoting change, especially through the media. One thing though, concentrate on voting against the status quo in the off-year election in 2026 and voted anti-Deep State. In most places, vote against the incumbent RINOs and Dems. If we could get 61 conservatives in the Senate and a ten plus majority in the House, much of the progressive Left could be destroyed by 2028.
IMHO, elections are the only thing left that can offset the Deep State.
I can see the value of a third party, like Kennedy’s when he declared Independent. This Third Party would be the pivot between the extremes, siding with one or the other where needed. Like for instance when the Democrats went so extreme that the third party aligned with Trump.
Think of it as a modulating mechanism that keeps the pendulum swing in bounds.

Political parties, regardless of the number of them always lead to tribalism. Party first, nation last. That's what happens, regardless of there being 2 or 20 of them. Gorgeous George warned us and boy was he spot on in his warnings. People today don't give a damn about America. But don't you dare criticize their precious party or their party's candidate.
I'm not being a jerk and I didn't attack you. I rebuffed your opinion. I re-read my post and I don't see anywhere where I insulted or attacked you. You need to grow a thicker skin.
Im waiting to hear the alphabet agencies will be broken into regional branches, and smug individuals perhaps raising kids in expensive private schools in and around the DC area, are left with the choice to take up residence in places like Saginaw, or Bakersfield, or Tempe, or be forced to join the rest of us in the private sector.
Trump actually tried to start this in the 1st administration. I believe he wanted to send the Interior department to Kansas City. It was blocked, of course, by the centrists. I anticipate, in the spirit of de-centralization, this will be arising again, and soon. First though, Trump has to get the bureaucrats to go back to work, at the office.
I am waiting to see the Unconstitutional BLM (Bureau of Land Management) wiped out and all that Federal land returned to the state. In my state of Utah Uncle Sam owns and manages 67% of Utah land. All of that land, inaccessible to the State for development and taxation rights. I am not sure, but show me anywhere in the Constitution where it says the Federal Government can own land. Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and others have vast amounts of land under Federal ownership. It's all illegal. All of it.
What we have her is a failure to communicate. Observations reveal it's not a constitutional government. Have you ever been to court? Everybody is guilty and everybody pays. They're extorting our life force at gunpoint. I call it gunpoint business.
Not illegal. The Federal government pre-dates all claims in the West because it was here first, as the states were just territories then. It would probably take an amendment to change the ownership as it pertains to amendment 10.
Kudos for recognizing that we need an effective opposition. In the meantime we should at least find out what the government has been doing on our behalf all these years, and who has benefited from the money that flows into DC from our pockets and our future.
One thing that always protected the cia was the sheer volume of information they had meant they could hide but the thought of turning AI tools on the whole blob could unearth the truth quickly. Hmm.
Just a comment, the FBI and CIA are in trouble because they are totally ineffective. How many incidents of recent years would have been prevented with an effective DOJ and intelligence organization. How many shooting, terror attacks etc. could have been prevented. Instead, they are going to get Trump. One thing I will say, the first two weeks of Trump really points at what the real enemy of the people is, the Democrats.
According to Mike Benz, USAID is run out of The State Department and is responsible for organizing all the “color revolutions” (regime change operations) we have witnessed over the years.
1. Funded the war in Ukraine. I am so grateful for this, afterall, I have racked in tremendous benefit from this war. I see it every day in my paycheck.
2. Funded the war in Israel. I can't speak to my gratitude for the assistance to Israel. I mean, just let me tell you how this has helped me and my family........uh.........er........., well, it's a good thing.
3. Funded the sustenance for so many illegal immigrants, who, have so much respect for my Country that they came here.......legally......uh, still thinking on that one. I mean, they are spending that money in our cities, right?
4. Military bases in 150+ countries throughout the world. I feel safer. So much safer knowing that I won't be bombed at night while sleeping in my bed. I mean, having a base in Djibouti is so important to American security.
5. National Parks!!! Last time I went to Glacier National Park I couldn't get on the Going to the Sun Road because I didn't have an entry ticket. But hey, my tax dollars are going to protect these national parks we are loving to death.
I'm sorry, I just feel so much benefit from the taxes that I send to Uncle Sam every year. Every missile that Raytheon produces. Every jet that Lockheed Martin produces. Every bullet, every gun, every tank, that my tax dollars go to build to fight wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, I am so proud of. I mean, those damned Afghanis are threatening me every day. Same goes for this Iraqis and Syrians!!
Since we do not have any viable opposition to the Trump-Musk alliance, I suppose we have rule by 2 people plus all the muscle they've hired. While I love seeing DEI, the trans agenda, CRT, and open immigration get the axe, I also am concerned about what seems to be shaping up as a technocracy, or techno-feudalism, as many of us have been warning about for years.
The Dem party was never a good party, although perhaps the 2 party system somewhat balanced each other out. But not since the 1960s in any effective manner that I can detect. It just got more and more "uniparty."
Too polarized, it's not a Dem/Rep thing as the rhino wing belongs to the uniparty. It's the 'other' as in the independents, unaligned, whatever the various states give as a name tag for those who won't fit neatly into the two-party narrative.
Result is a breakup of some sort. The 10th Amendment was done in rather well in the 1860's. If it resurrects, it could be a building block for some manner of confederation using the Constitutional Republic as the model.
The board game flipper states, particularly from Maryland up to Canada and the Left Coast won't play very well.
The thing the Democrats will do now is create chaos at the grass roots level. Protest by blocking highways, mask up and vandalize, show up at government officials' homes, interfere with ICE operations, destroy property, set fires and lawyer up. The Dems' insane shenanigans will move to the streets. It's imperative they get there asses kicked. Also look for more election interference and fraud at the state and local level.
It’s started. LA freeway blocked after Kareem Jeffries, wanna be Muslim while living off of our capitalism, made his war call statement: ‘we have to take the fight to the street.’
Hopefully drivers will run them the fuck over, then put it in reverse and back over them, just for good measure. But, in Cali, I wouldn't bet on it. Let them try that in a small town.
And then go to prison for 40 years. I share you sentiment, Ron, but these protestors aren't worth the sacrifice. Rather than kill them, I'd like to see the motorists form a mob and physically take the fuckers off the road and beat the bejeezus out of them and then return to their cars. See if they feel like protesting after a solid whooping. Mobs are harder to prosecute after all.
The word is our far and wide (first on alternative lifestyle sites then to mainstream sites if the protests gain steam) to model on some scale all over the country the LA "protests."
Another idea, arrest them all, or at least the leaders. Treat them like the J6ers were treated. Do an immigration status check on all of them and deport the illegals.
I wouldn't bother checking their immigration status, if they are marching in the Street waving foreign flags and screaming insults, just take every single one of them, barcode their foreheads, and dump them over the fence into Tijuana.
Pass a federal law that says IF they are caught in the country illegally, they will never get citizenship, never get a single dime in federal aid, make it illegal to receive state and county aid their children if born here no longer become citizens and each time they are caught here the penalties are raised $2,000 dollar fine six months in jail doubled for each offense.
Give the illegal aliens and their families a two-month grace period to deport themselves.
If a business is caught hiring an illegal alien stiff fines per illegal like $25k and jail time for the owner/ managers. While in jail they will work off fines with public service as well and have their name, business name and picture published in the local paper.
This would include private citizens hiring from Home Depot parking lots.
No way that will ever happen it is way to much like NAZI Germany.
It might be a good threat to tell them if they are caught in the country again, but tattoos can be removed.
They are so obvious when you see them there is no mistaking illegal aliens for what they are.
At the moment I can pick them out of the crowd.
Ice should hire me, and they should hit all the Costco's in the San Diego area somehow all these assholes have Costco cards.
New shoes, new clothes, new Iphones, new hoodies, and right now nervous as hell.
We are awash in illegal alien Latinos, muslims, Africans and Chinese people.
I am seeing full blown bee keeper burkas and head coverings with just eye slits.
One of them hissed at my wife the other day when my wife asked her nicely to move out of the way.
I resorted to telling her to get the fuck out of the way and then told her husband he better control his brood mare. Needless to say, the Somali man started screaming at her causing quite the scene.
Pretty sure the religion of peace practitioner beat her ass when they left.
These people are utterly alien in every way to our Republic and should all be sent back ASAP LEGAL OR NOT.
The Jews took credit for opening our borders to the Third World back in 1965. They used gentile front men like Ted Kennedy, but they were the hidden power behind the whole thing. The weaker we are, the stronger they are. See their motivation?
I expect the GOP to push through federal election reform, eliminating mail-in balloting en masse, and requiring same day voting and voter identification.
Mary, the Dem structure is comprised of loons. We are responsible for putting these loons into power and will now feel the pain for what they did in their lunacy. Carville is a cheerleader.
Agreed. Who is we? You got a mouse in your pocket?
I’ve always considered myself an Independent but have never found a Democrat who was ever the lesser of two evils (which is what the choice between candidates generally comes down to).
This past election was the first one that I was ever enthusiastic about the candidate I voted for. After watching Trump get undermined and villainized at every turn over the last eight years, my vote for him was intended to send the entrenched Illuminati a message that this should never happen again.
“If you’re going to take a swing at the king, you best not miss!”
We is the USA population, we is a judicial system that is blue as the sky. We is 50% who believe that the USA is evil and must be destroyed. We is America internal, its own worst enemy.
The lesser of two evils is still evil. I am always surprised at how accepting "good" people are of this. One would think "good" people would eschew evil in all of its forms. I guess this doesn't apply in American politics.
Clinton was pretty bad since he did give away nuclear secrets to the CCP.
If not for the contract with America Newt Gingrich pushed the Billy Clinton regime would have been really bad but slick willy knew it was better to go along then fight it.
This country has been oppressed by corruption since November 22, 1963. Trump's second term is the settling of accounts, and brother, there's going to be a reckoning.
There has been treason and sedition for far too long, and what was good for Julius and Ethel is going to be just desserts for a long cast of characters that got away with far too much for far too long. They've gotten away with felonious crimes financial, sexual, to literal mass murder, and mere fines, prison, and banishment from the trough are not enough.
This is the time where Donald The Great paradoxically wields all of the power that was centralized into DC over the eons by dark forces against the people, in the name of the people against their dark force tormentors.
Moderation comes after the punishments are meted out to the guilty and lessons are seared into the historical memory of the country so our posterity can see that this was the time that the country regained its moral sanity and The Republic was saved.
November 22, 1963? Seriously? Ever heard of Franklyn Delano Roosevelt? What about Woodrow Wilson? How about Abraham Lincoln? This Country has been oppressed far longer than 1963 my friend.
Conspiracy theory is the fundamental basis of criminal law. For a grand jury to bring an indictment, a theory of the conspiracy must be developed. Conspiracy is simply two or more people colluding to break the law, and is itself and indictable offense.
Conspiracy theorists have the most idea how things actually work because they are using logic and critical thinking to assess the mass of available evidence they accumulate. Police and prosecutors practice conspiracy theory as part of their job.
Most of DC should be relocated to Nome, Alaska...then Trump won't have to pay the DC parasites to quit....When we don't have any more Federal bureaucrats than Andrew Jackson's administration, Trump can declare victory....
How do you DO it, Jim? Knocked it out of the park satirically yet again with "[The Democrats'] aim has basically been to induce you to doubt your sanity. You were asked to swallow one fabulous absurdity after another." As opposed to Mump, right? LOL ROFL LMFAO!
Socialism is a hard thing to uproot once it gains power in a country. The reason is very simple: Socialism has appeal to the masses, even though it is a really a construct of a political elite that wants to wield total power over those masses. Once in power, the Socialist elite knows that its ideology will lose popularity as soon as the ideology is fully imposed upon the masses, so the Socialist elite must always must be prepared, able, and willing to exterminate anyone who threatens the regime. History is filled with examples--Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and--yes--Hitler. Hitler was every bit a Socialist, just a slightly different flavor of Socialist than a Communist. Hitler despised the Communists, not because they were Socialists, but because Hitler believed his flavor of Socialism was superior to theirs. Hitler said, "It is not Germany that will turn Bolshevist, but Bolshevism that will become a sort of National Socialism. Besides, there is more that binds us to Bolshevism than separate us from it… The petit bourgeois Social-Democrat and the trade-union boss will never make a National Socialist, but the Communist always will."
Democrat elites love to call Trump and conservatives "Fascists," but the reality is that Trump and the conservatives reject every tenet of Fascist Socialism. Meanwhile, the Obama/Hillary/Biden/Soros cabal has embraced nearly every tenet of Fascist/Socialism, with some Communist/Socialism mixed in to placate the Sanders/Squad Communist faction of the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party's rudderless ship is wandering the political ocean aimlessly because its factions just bicker over what kind of Socialists that they should be. The only thing that they are unified enough about is that they hate Trump and conservatives--and that is no longer enough for them win elections. The Democrats know it, and that is why the Biden (Obama III) Administration basically tried to establish a de facto Socialist dictatorship before the 2024 election. They almost did, but came up short. Now, the Democrats are going to pay the price for what they tried to do, and I really hope that price that they pay is incredibly high--they deserve it.
Nah, Germany was National Socialist just like China is now. The latter has produced so many billionaires, surely you don't consider them still to be Communist? They guide their Capitalists. You can't hurt the Nation. Why is that a bad thing? Because lust for money is such that the greed heads don't care who they hurt.
Play ball with the nation - or else. If you do play ball was as Pinochet said: Of course you are good to people who do things and make things.
Chinese cities are immaculate? The Chinese city I live at in suburban Los Angeles is getting uglier by the year. Chinese developers are tearing down mid-century tract houses and slapping up identical, tacky McMansions
I won't defend them too much. But their cities are immaculate, the high tech futurism we were promised.
I can't remember: Was it Napoleon who said, Don't awaken the Dragon? A 19th century clergyman repeated it. Anyway, we did and they have taken vengeance on us and will take more yet.
The Democratic Party won't moderate their position. To give you an example, a famous weekly newsmagazine, called Newsweek, existed from 1933-2012. For decades it was well-read and very popular. Then, it started to go hard left. During the Obama presidency, it went farther and farther left, people stopped subscribing to it, companies stopped advertising it, and dust would grow on the latest issue as it said, unread, in magazine racks at stores. At one point its cover depicted Obama as a dancing god (seriously). Toward the end, the editorial board had a stark choice 1) moderate their content and produce a magazine people wanted to read or 2) stay the course and go out of business as a weekly newsmagazine. They chose option 2, and ceased to exist as a printed, weekly magazine. Newsweek was hemorrhaging money by this point. Given the choice of moderating their position and winning elections, or staying hard left and losing them, and fading away as a powerful political party, the Democrats will absolutely again choose option 2.
Kaboom 💥! Let’s look at the big picture - Dems are dominated by aging, inarticulate dinosaurs such as Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries, Clinton and Obama. Republicans, while lead by a 78 year old (though energetic) Trump, have him surrounded with youthful, attractive, articulate leaders such as Vance, Rubio, Bondi, Hegseth, etc.
The policy differences are stark - Dems support repulsive 🤮 policies such as DEI, open borders, boys playing girls’ sports and trans surgery for minors, while the Republicans focus on border security, economic growth, inflation and safety for citizens.
Based upon the outcome of the past weekend’s DNC elections it truly appears that the Dems have learned nothing. It’s like the alcoholic who thinks that all he needs is another drink to get rid of that nasty hangover. Seems like the Dems will be wandering in the wilderness, shedding normals from the party for the foreseeable future. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
David Hogg as #2 DNC leader would suggest a disconnect from reality.
So David Hogg's claim to fame is that he went to a school where there was a shooting and hasn't shut his mouth since then, making bank on having been at that school. Constipation of the mind and diarrhea of the mouth. Good luck, Dems.
“Constipation of the mind and diarrhea of the mouth.” Well said!
I don't know what school Boss Hogg attended (and don't care) and what shooting but I'll bet my bottom dollar it was a false-flag shooting in an unincorporated area.
No, it was real, but he wasn't even in school that day. He's basically a brainless dumbfuck, but I repeat myself.
Or a suicide mission, and they just stepped on the gas!
JUMP!!!….JUMP!!!
that might be a good option.
I thought you were joking - so I looked it up. JumpinGoddamnJesus! Yup, the Democrats really are that stupid.
But why not Hogg's fellow "Disruptor" Emma Gonzalez? She's female - at least she appears to have come from the factory that way - Hispanic, and I'd bet she flies the pride flag even more proudly than Mr. Hogg. Her signature "distressed" jeans would add a much-needed touch of class to the otherwise Mao-suited DNC.
I particularly loved the photo of a whole group of them smiling gleefully a few days after the shooting. They knew their ship had come in and they were going to milk it the hilt.
Yes, Black, sarcasm is dead. How do you feel about that? But we still have mixed metaphors.....
Herr Hogg: I like masks and I'm going to keep wearing mine. It let's you know who's who.
You're right on, Bird. Any of Emma's additions or modifications appear to be OEM. Both she and Hogg, from Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS, down in Parkland, FL. There was a lot moving under the rug in that whole thing.
I believe Emma and David are cousins, so it may be a family enterprise. Another dynasty germinating before our eyes. Reminds one of the Kim dynasty in North Korea perhaps?
Part of the backstory - the then (2018) Broward County Superintendent of Schools was one Robert Runcie, another Black Jesus from the bastion of academic excellence - the Chicago Public School System.
He won a national award for nearly eliminating on-campus crime and truancy in Broward County Schools, which had been a large and escalating problem. How? Well, you just stop reporting them, that's how.
His reckless administration, along with the other leftist School Board members, fostered an environment of zero responsibility, lawlessness and chaos. Enter a mass shooter, who had ample behavioral red flags that were summarily ignored and dismissed.
She's a bald Hispanic lesbian. Probably not cousins. But hell, they could still get married and have kids. Why not?
Sarcasm dead? Dead like Mark Twain!
"Get married"? "Have kids"? How quaint. Strictly cloning, grafting, or mutilation for these kids.
If I remember the story correctly, brave Mr. Hogg pedaled his bike to school that day when he heard about the shootings - as he had previously already graduated from somewhere else. Apparently he was able to just walk right in and start his streaming exercise.
Of course everybody knows what Marjorie Stonecold Douglas was all about: she didn't want the swamp* drained.
(Actually, the Everglades is/was a river, not a swamp. A River of Grass...)
we can only hope they stay in the wilderness and out of the way.
Out of your way?
Line them all up. Give them a choice Run a gauntlet or tar & feathering.
everyone's way. They are so obnoxious
Most Democrats will never move to the center of the political spectrum, even if it means they lose their elections and lose power.
They never had to in the past because they just kept rigging elections. And if Trump and a few patriotic Republicans (the few who remain) don't fix election theft/fraud, the Democrats will come back with a vengeance.
Agreed. . . and one of the key ways the Left fixed elections was by encouraging millions of illegal aliens to flood into the country and vote Democratic. Well, now Trump is deporting the Democratic voting base. In addition, up until the last election, Democrats could count on nearly 100 percent of the black vote--that has changed too. In fact, many Hispanic men preferred Trump to Harris. I remember, after Jimmy Carter stunk up the White House, the Dems lost 3 consecutive Presidential Elections, by fairly wide margins, and they absolutely would have won the 4th without Bush lying to his own constituents, raising their taxes, and facing a strong third party candidate who split the vote. I think they are in Carter territory once again, they will lose the next couple of presidential elections. Unlike the Reagan and Bush years, though, this time the Democrats have also lost the House, the Senate, most state governorships, and the Supreme Court--they are profoundly weak right now, and only growing weaker as time passes.
And from what I am seeing at this point, I like what I am seeing from this new, younger crop of cabinet appointees. It gives me a false sense of hope and security. I say false, because, as the author mentioned, absolutely power corrupts everything. How long before this new political crop goes haywire like the Democrats did?
My father in law carries a 9mm pistol on his hip and is rabidly anti-abortion. And he's a flaming Democrat who despises every "godamned" thing Trump is doing. It makes no sense to me at this point.
These people are lost. At this point all we can do is wait for them to age into obscurity and die off. Then the younger generations can, hopefully, bring sanity back to this wretched nation.
Was he quackcinated with the Devil's Clot Shot (TM)? Those types suffer Trump Derangement Syndrome and exhibit woke-leftist extremism.
I got the shot and I voted for Trump and am cautiously optimistic about the things he's doing.
I shared what I observed from personal observation, real life experience.
If you didn't get TDS then so be it. There's about four companies (military speak) providing countermeasures (DoD military speak) for the great culling (alleged Korona virus). Not a woke leftist? There is a God!
I won't get TDS.
Nothing short of complete eradication of all of them will succeed in ridding us of their scourge. They're like fleas in Florida.
How about the second in command at the dnc is David Hogg,that little grifter from here that ran away to hide whilst his classmates were butchered.
He wasn't at school that day & his father is an fbi agent.
That may explain where he gets the propensity to lie also his fanitical anti second amendment stance. Criminals & totalitarians prefer their victims un armed.
The weasel showed up at the school after the school shooting had concluded that day. Since that day he has claimed he was there that day. A good example of "the best lie is the truth".
Not too bright are they.
Yep, and how many dozens of millions of Americans still support the Democrats??? Yep. Half the country. My inlaws, are two of them! :)
Quackcinated Woke Leftists?
Thomas Sowell
“ Activism is the way for useless people to feel important, even if the consequences of their activism are counterproductive for those they claim to be helping and damaging to the fabric of society as a whole.”
The Democratic Party will continue to flounder if it is run by activists.
Sowell is brilliant! Thanks! 👍
I have the habit of writing things down, here is professor, Edward Fesser of the postliberal order Substack:
“ Woke activism is a paranoid delusional, hyper egalitarian mindset that tends to see injustice and oppression where they do not exist or greatly exaggerate them where they do exist”
This one I forgot to write down attribution:
“ we are governed by tyrants of compassion and masters of incompetence”
I think that was the Bad Cat.
I'd add endless wars to the Dems and aims for peaceful solutions and agreements to the band of our current Rep Administraion
Well said, Mr. K. Especially that last sentence regarding the democrat proclivity to lie about everything. They got away with that schtick for decades, twisting the meaning of common words to mean something else entirely. Like deciding that cutting a poor kid's nuts off was "gender affirming care" for one particulary egregious example. There are too many more to even enumerate: abortion as "reproductive health care," government spending as "investment," truthful dissent as "disinformation." Trump is performing the Confucian task of rectification of names, restoring sanity to discourse and accuracy to language. It is a beginning, not an end in itself. However, no lasting reform can be implemented without that as the first, essential step. May God grant him success, for all our sakes.
Okay, Yes, Trump is the leader that we need today to undo the evil that the Dem Mob has foisted upon us. I want to remind everyone he is one person, now surrounded by a cadre of people to undo the evil. It is up to us, the people to support the needed change and stop the Dem Mob from getting in the way. I point my finger first at the disseminator of information, the MSM and social media who WERE responsible for greasing the skids for the Dem Mob. Second is the RINO group, who just cannot get past the fact that Jeb lost in 2016. Their declaration that Trump is an autocrat and that they need to vote for the worst autocratic takeover, the Dem Mob, is ludicrous. Cheney and Kinzinger need to be ostracized for their role in the Pelosi Jan. 6 fiasco. Not put in jail, just ignored.
Speaking of autocracy, does anyone believe that Trump will not have to wield power to rid us of the Dem Mob, actually the Leftist Dem Mob. Remember the adage that says that a group accuses another with the activity that they are actually doing. That has been the modus operandi of the Dems for generations. The Biden Mob was the worst example of do-nothing autocracy in our history.
Sidebar - Right now, it is the job of Congress to get back their power from the executive branch. It needs to be earned. It will not be the Dem Mob that does this but the Right side driving a functioning legislative body again. A country run by an autocrat becomes weak fast, because the head man’s ability is the only resource the government has. Congress is supposed to be the summation of the talents and knowledge of 535 people, all contributing to the progress of the people of the USA. Just looking at the foibles and apparent stupidity of the two party system in Congress should put shivers down our spines and force our need to oust the Good old boy partisan club that Congress has become.
We are the key.
Nothing short of DETERRENCE aka prison or worse for traitors such as Cheney and Kinsinger ad infinitum. Lessons must be learned. Sanity must prevail.
The worst thing you can do to these egomaniacs is to just ignore them, something I wish Fox News would learn. Prison makes them into martyrs for their cause.
The fact is that with the US's mailing in voting, electronic voting machines, first-past-the-post & winner-take-all voting, and the anachronistic Electoral College with its Superdelegates, there is not even a theoretical chance a Third-Party candidate can be elected POTUS.
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/america-isnt-really-set-up-for-third-party-presidential-bids/
It's a systemic problem. Proven in 1992 when Ross Perot challenged Bush and Clinton on a populist platform of slashing the budget deficit. He got 19.0% of the vote ~ but didn’t receive a plurality of voters in any state, giving him ZERO ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES.
Until America changes its method of voting in its President, its stuck with its Two-Party duopoly. Voting for a third-Party candidate in the US is the definition of wasting your vote. For the reasons explained in the link above, and clearly illustrated by the Perot example, a third-Party candidate cannot become the POTUS. A third-Party Candidate has never become POTUS in the history of the US.
To change the Method of Voting requires a Constitutional Amendment. And as all Americans know, the Constitution provides that an amendment has to be proposed either by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a constitutional convention called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. A proposed amendment becomes part of the Constitution as soon as it is ratified by three-fourths of the States.
Since 1800, over 700 proposals to reform or eliminate the Electoral College system have been introduced in Congress. NONE of these proposals have received the approval of two-thirds of Congress and three-fourths of the states required to amend the Constitution. The US is stuck with its two-Party Duopoly. Do I have that right?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efforts_to_reform_the_United_States_Electoral_College
Not true. Trump won three elections in a row which reflected the will of the people. The voting systems are completely rigged so you can change all of the rules that you like but if all it would take is the injection of ballots at either multiple sites like we have now or one site if the country went to a Venezulean-style voting system then it will happen without the People fighting back.
People who do not like the electoral college have the gall to second-guess the founding fathers who argued and debated about this for a very long time before settling on the current system. They knew damn well that no system is perfect but the one they chose has far more benefits than the others. Attempts to change it are subversive but, just like convincing people that abortion is healthcare, it isn't hard to con the uneducated and get them to ignore what they can see with their own eyes.
Just look, again, at the power of the electoral college. We are witnessing in real-time America's course correction because of it. Yet here we go with people with tape over their eyes telling us that the only way to "save democracy" is to change it. Good grief.
Sorry,but the electoral college stays. Imagine though, if trump, after all the bullshit he’s dealt with the republicants in both houses, were to start a third party now. Leave the fucking uniparty inthe dust with “ conservative” party? What a concept. Don’t think a third party can win? With this current crop of younguns gunning for progressives and rinos, I’m telling you it would win.
Dennis, I would guess that a combination of small states which are empowered by the Senate and the Electoral College will always shoot down the College. If the USA were to eliminate the College and go totally with the populace vote, three or four states would “own” the federal government. The “little guys” will always use the 3/4 requirement for an amendment to stop their losing power.
As they should. "Smart" people eaten up with Dunning-Krueger never fail to come up with some scheme, some perfect system to prevent people being people. It is laughable in a pathetic sort of way. They can't even see America's course corrections via the EC right in their own face. In only FOUR years we've gone from a takeover of sociopaths and jailing of political opposition, including the opposition's leading candidate, to that person ascending to the Presidency and turning the tables on the enemies of the People.
I'm talking about Jackson, of course, the model for Trump's return.
Good lord, people. I can't think of paying more disrespect to the United States of America than to sit here and crap all over the Founding Fathers' architecture and Her 250 years of being the best attempt at representative Democracy since the early Roman republic. Dunce caps and corner stools all around for some of these people. smh
Ándale, Ruth. People act as if the Founding Fathers were unwise (they didn't even have iPhones!) and keep trying to supplant America v. 1.0 with their own hubris. Sort of how Pfizer thought it could suddenly cure the common cold. We learn nothing and remember nothing.
Yep. Comes from the same place of emotional decision making that enables total manipulation of the public on any issue, any time, anywhere. Complex systems achieve a balance over time and they are often very sensitive to small changes. CO2 is a perfect example. More in equals more plants equals more oxygen equals less CO2 etc, not to mention the effects on heat, rain, snow, insects, fish and so on.
So, the same people who will tell you "climate change is a hoax and we don't need to tamper with CO2" will then tell you they want to eliminate the electoral college as though, poof, problem solved. There are first principles of logic and risk assessment that many people simply do not have and, of course, hubris blocks them obtaining those skills. The potential for making things even worse if they're wrong seems to elude the vast majority of people.
First, do no harm.
Well said , climate change is real the climate has always & will always be changeing. Humans sometimes do have some effect in smalll areas. Compaired to the actual size of the earth
The vast majority of the planet is unocupied. The best way to believe this is flying an aircraft at lower altitude so that the extent of emptyness can be seen.
Most people can't do this.
Second best is google earth.
Just spending a few hours will show most people how obvious this is.
And yet with a wave of the wand Democrats actually changed voting laws all over no Constitutional amendment needed.
Yes, JAZ, we are the gubmint, you and I. Couldn't have said it better.
Ha Ha! That's funny. We are the government. My BIG ASS we are. That's a good one. In an ideal world, yeah, the government works for its people. But in today's world? I pay tens of thousands to the government in taxes every year and what the hell do I get for it? Warm and fuzzies because we are helping that fucking toilet of a Country, Ukraine, fight a war or funding Isreal's war on Gaza? Is that all I get from the government that is supposed to be working for me? Hell, the fuckers can't even keep our border secure or balance a budget because they are dumber than a box of hair. We are the government. Yeah. Sure.
Enjoy the day, Cank. CFN loves ya.
JHK can boot me anytime he wants. I'm just an average putz just looking for some interesting debate. Hell, I had my ass handed to me by P.B. today. Sensitive Monday I guess. Sorry if I offended.
I think you got the best of Paul Brunton.
Handed you your ass?
Hardly spirited discussion is good as long as some form of growth occurs.
You are right with your cynicism about government. I think my point is that we cannot, no should not, ignored the crappy government we have evolved into. Government is inherently evil as it is powered by power people. If government is allowed to run open loop, of course it becomes corrupt.
BUT, the government is a subset of its population, albeit a corrupted one. We are the government and the government is us, in any nation. The really big problem is what happens when a nation becomes too diverse with little common culture. That is where we are now. Tito formed Yugoslavia out of a widely diverse population. We know how that turned out. The EU is trying to Americanize Europe with all its diverse cultures. Not much success there. The Europeans tried to section up Africa without paying attention to cultural differences, we know how that turned out, same with the Middle East. India split in two.
So, Cankerpuss, if you had Trump’s ear, what would you suggest to offset the diversity situation, what government changes would make it work for everyone?
Where are you idealistic feelgooders coming from today? "we, the citizens are an active part of our government." I'm sorry, P.B., but I just can't believe this statement. Try writing to your "representative" and ask them for a response. Just try it. I wrote my "representative" about the border and I got back a form letter addressing budget matters and funding. Not one mention about the border.
If they are bonded and they do harm, the can be financially punished. www.bondsforthewin.com
In my state my representatives represent 750,000 people. Do you really think they care about what you or I have to say when we call? Do you really think they READ thousands of emails each day? They have staffers that do that, usually some airhead college kid trying to build a resume to go along with their useless political science degree.
The only place where representative government can truly function is at the local level where your City Council WILL listen to you if you push them hard enough. At the Federal level they don't give a shit because they know all they need is the endorsement of the political party they serve and the masses will vote for the party.
America's political system is a dismal failure. Thomas Jefferson was right when he surmised that America was too big to govern. It is. Too many people. Too many opinions. No consensus. NO POSSIBLE WAY TO REPRESENT ANYTHING.
I applaud your optimism. I really do, even if I do find it naive and mis placed.
@cankerpuss
She is 100% correct one letter being written is set to the side 10,000 different letters saying the same thing gets attention.
To many Americans have abdicated their responsibility in government to just showing up to vote if they even bother to vote at this point and cutting that tax check every year.
Thanks, PB I have used form letters already created for certain causes one such was the defense of marriage act the other was about the overall cost of Insurance.
Both efforts actually got voted on and passed and then the activist judges came in and nullified them.
"the stench from the bench is making me clench" -Dr. Michael Savage. 11:07 PM · Oct 22, 2024
The bias of the judicial system will remain until enough liberal and RINO judges attrition out and are replaced. The transformation of the USA will take time and lots of it. Until the 48% leftist numbskulls see the light and start voting sensibly, the situation is precarious. The judiciary is intended to be the most steadfast arm of the governance, and as such its duration will be the longest one to change. Patience!
Sidebar - The 2020 election "investigation" was an indication of how one-sided the judiciary had become. Four years of the Biden Mob has only increased the bias, as shown by the initial reaction of the judiciary to the Trump EO revolution.
I will acknowledge your point Ben. You make a good one. The problem with P.B. is she errupted into a cavalcade of insane insults, put downs and rantings rather than explain her position. Your explanation has merit and I appreciate your comment.
Your humble servant.
I believe you are a good and rational man.
Good god, P.B., go take a class and learn how to grow a back bone! I never once resorted to calling you names like "dickhead" nor did I resort to any personal insults or attacks against you. All I did was rebuff your opinion to foment a healthy debate. You are weak and unable to defend your flawed position and as such resort to childish insults to defend your position because it deflects from the discussion at hand. This clearly indicates someone who has no business being on a comment board spouting off their opinions if they can't handle someone who, without insults, disagrees with them.
You're telling me to grow up when you are the one resorting to childish insults? Now that is interesting.
I'm done with you. Go pick some marigolds and have someone pat you on the head and tell you everything will be okay. Seems to be what you are looking for.
You are certainly more than welcome. Good luck picking marigolds.
And one of the biggest lies of all (in recent memory): rebranding the $750 billion Green New Deal as the Inflation Reduction Act. It was done overnight ... my head is still spinning.

I've told JHK more than once, he's similar for similar reasons - and will never be replaced. Upon which Jim scolds me for seemingly hastening his demise. Not so, I dread the day.
Jim's bested him by five years already, and I hope for, and wish him, many more.
Kennedy believes in "vaccines" including the Vax apparently, which is no vaccine at all. The Evil Ones have changed the meaning to "injection", to confuse the masses.
The majority of people can't do this work at all, since it requires an intelligence that can contemplate meaning apart from words. Thus it is able to work with words. Thus it must be done for them, just like so many other things.
Kennedy believes in "safe" vaccines. Of course, he believes no vaccines are safe.
He was trying to thread the needle in the confirmation hearings, trying to not out and out lie, but I'm sure he'll do what's right when at the head of the HHS no matter what he said.
Bobby said he was pro-vaccine in no uncertain terms, multiple times, on camera.
He had to say it in order to get past commie committee.
Why are new Borns getting a hep b vaccine first day?
If mom is tested and is not positive this makes zero sense!
The number of vaccines given to small children is way out of line with what is needed in a modern society with modern plumbing and tap water treatment.
Half of these are ridiculous.
my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/11288-childhood-immunization-schedule
All vaccines are pure poison. Since when has it made sense to poison your blood for health? ANSWER: Since never.
Using Cow pox to inoculate for smallpox was genius but look at the method a needle was used dipped in the pus without all the other crap they put in modern vaccines.
As one working construction and that has stepped on many a rusty nail over the years, I am thankful for the tetanus shot lockjaw sounds awful.
The only other shot I believe in mmr for being around young kids.
The rest are garbage.
Are they garbage? If we ever got information, real information from the CDC about the safety of the vaccines, it would be a miracle. The mRNA vaccine movement is criminal and will be curtailed or stopped by RFK, Jr. or his alternate. This is one of the few mistakes I believe Trump made, approving the Pence group, Fauci, and their putting the Vaxx on emergency status, long term effects unknown and short term ignored. IMHO, mRNA should be stopped as well as any other DNA level work. Trump via RFK, Jr. has a chance to undo the credibility damage that adm #1 did.
I wonder, the infection rates for some of these vaccines are so small, they are just another source of revenue for Pharma. The CDC should continuously be informing the public about disease risks and whether the vaccines are necessary.
I will tell you one thing I notice from friends, they have total trust in the government and the medical community, and get these vaxxes in spite of the contrary information. Then they get Covid and buy the Government BS about how it makes it weaker.
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/study-vaccinated-children-autism-risk-increase/
"Jaw-dropping’ Study Finds Vaccinated Children Have 170% Higher Risk of Autism"
"The peer-reviewed study also found that vaccinated children had a 212% greater likelihood of developing other neurodevelopmental disorders, including ADHD, epilepsy/seizures, brain inflammation and tic and learning disorders."
Sasha Latypova has done numerous interviews on the work of the French scientist Charles Richet, demonstrating how childhood vaccines have caused the explosion in anaphylaxis and food allergies. Not to mention that 70% of SIDS deaths happen within a week of vaccination, and I think 48% within 2 days of vaccination.
So many people died following the smallpox vaccine that thousands of people marched in the streets against vaccine mandates, which were finally revoked as a result. The history of the eradication of smallpox is simply one of improved sanitation and living conditions. Deaths from the diseases which vaccine mythology claims were stopped by vaccines had reduced almost to zero, in all cases, before vaccines were even introduced. Those for which no vaccines existed followed the same trajectory. And that's before you look at the polio 'vaccine' for a disease (acute flaccid paralysis) which was actually caused by DDT.
Re tetanus, a lot of young women in Kenya have reason NOT to be grateful for that 'vaccine'. The WHO had been trying for years to develop an infertility vaccine, which was injected experimentally - by the Gates Foundation, who else? - into a million young women and girls (as young as 8) in Kenya - without their knowledge. The vaccine was bizarrely (a) not given to boys/young men, (b) given in FIVE doses just to make sure and (c) given in the absence of a tetanus problem. Those young women went on to be unable to carry a pregnancy to term because the 'vaccine' was laced with human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This same outrage was committed against young women in various other countries, but it was only in Kenya that the truth came to light officially.
Never take a vaccine from people who think there are too many people in the world.

At this rate of incredible progress towards restoration of the Republic, Trump will probably be able retire early and hand over the keys to JD in 2026.
Cincinnatus Trump will go down in history as the greatest American president, ever, who will have completed the unfinished business of 1776. Greater than even the legendary Geo. Washington himself. I suspect George would agree.
None of the above. He’s forcing the exposure of the DS tentacles everywhere. Learn to distinguish between him exposing and him espousing.
Agree, and I am MAGA... BUT... several MAJOR flaws are evident... one:
TRUMP on Truth Social:
"South Africa is confiscating land, and treating certain classes of people VERY BADLY. A massive Human Rights VIOLATION, at a minimum, is happening for all to see. The United States won’t stand for it, we will act."
Obviously... ISRAEL is the same and far FAR WORSE! Genocide! land thefts!! Use of white phosphorous on civilians! 100,000 innocents dead, 100,000 innocents wounded!
Is this an improbable lack of self-awareness... or evidence of being controlled by Israel/AIPAC??
I can't agree with you about Israel, AD, but yes, in SA farm confiscations have begun. It's only a short jaunt from dispossession to liquidation -- as we know from the fate of the 'Kulaks' in Russia & Ukraine 1931-1933. Famine is also in the offing. SA is in a state of total economic & social collapse ... and the only thing left to do is blame Whitey even tho Whitey is less than 10% of the population. Abd we'll see how the formerly civilized west reacts when the killing really gets going. I think the elite in the Netherlands, Canada, the UK, Germanym even the USA, will be down with it.
And we know the blacks are sooooooo gooooood at farming and feeding themselves (See Zaire or Zimbabwe and what happened there when the blacks killed the white farmers and took over their farms).
Thank you for saying Whites, even in slur form. Trump can't bring himself to do that. It wrecks the fantasy of unity or something. But at least he's doing something.
The Boers have vowed to fight. They might have a chance if nobody helped the Blacks, but somebody probably will. No one will help the Boers. We could at least let them come here and put pressure on Australia and the UK to do the same.
Do you disagree with this fine jewish man too?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOB1ls5s6Lg
Where are you on South Africa though? Remember, to be against the Zionists isn't the same as being for your own Folk. Henry Ford was a hammer against them, but he wasn't for Whites, else he would have never brought in Black Strike Breakers or Scabs.
IMO, the removal of white leadership/government in S. Africa was a complete and provable DISASTER.
Many will bleat, but most (not all) blacks are just not capable of governance. Yes, there have been many fine blacks, but comparatively few... in S.Africa, tribal associations still rule, in the more primitive majority black nations, jungle law reigns. S. Africa will never be anything but a FUBAR. Even now, they are begging whites to come back and assist in fixing things... but only a fool would try... Apartheid in reverse.
Look up average IQ by race, it explains much... supported as well by the lack of assimilation of blacks into American society since the Civil War... "racism" is the excuse and all programs to give "equality" have been total failures... as well as massive scams bilking taxpayers. The Dem blacks in congress past and present are obvious support of this as well... Obama? He hates America, obviously. A vicious radical.
It would take many hundreds of years for blacks to go from tribal primitives or slaves, to actual assimilation or equality, even without the IQ deficit. Thus, the current problems. Liberals foolishly blame whites. They conflate logical "preference" with "racism".
Ford was a supporter of the Third Reich, which was no sin... WWII was a massive mistake, brought about by the Zionist jews and assisted by scumbag Churchill... Hitler was a great leader (Que the screeching!)
Can we give the "Third Reich supporter" a rest? Ford's Willow run plant produced more B-24 bombers by far than anywhere else, and his trucks went by the thousands to benefit the Russian war effort. He incidentally led a relief movement in WWI for besieged Belgium and was a strong peace advocate.
Also, in the mid 30s Ford built a truck plant in the Soviet Union. It was a big deal at the time. Ford apparently was mainly interested in building and selling motor vehicles, not the political persuasion of the people buying them.
Look it up, Bozo... both things can be true.
Other Nazi supporters... Lindbergh, Prescott Bush...
Look it up, clown... both can be true.
Lindbergh was a big Nazi supporter too.
So was Prescott Bush
No sin in that, WWII should have never been fought.
More nonsense. Following his epic transatlantic flight in The Spirit of St. Louis, Lindbergh received many accolades and awards, from the French as well as Hitler's Germany, but he was, like millions, opposed to our getting involved in WWII. Once it started, though, he was a tireless supporter of the war effort especially in the Pacific where he was sent as an advisor, and not only was given credit for helping P-38 pilots tweak engine performance so the they could gain enough range to ambush Yamamoto- but he was credited with downing a Few Japanese planes himself.
Don't ever call someone's else's post "nonsense", when you are an ignorant assclown. Do some research before spouting your insults and lies.

He received a German medal before the war which his wife called, "the albatross". A proud man, he wouldn't give an inch. She was on the side of the Newspapers, the Zionist side of course. Roosevelt was disgusted with him. But after Pearl Harbor, he begged to be allowed to serve his nation, and was finally allowed to.
The end of apartheid in SA was a horror story that led to the destruction of the country. There's no doubt the blacks caused the holocaust in SA. That's all they're capable of.
Agree. However, they ARE capable of a few things:
Welfare abuse'
Unwed motherhood
violent crime
Sweet potato pie
BBQ
Sports ( bread as slaves for strength and endurance)
Protesting against white supremacy (whites have been supreme for hundreds of years)
Keeping fat white liberal broads amused
Air traffic control (just kidding)
Dude, You are obviously ignorant of history, especially that pertaining to the land of Israel and the actions of its neighbors. Last I looked, Hamas attacked Israel first, unprovoked at that. It’s been that way since Israel was recognized by the UN in 1947. At some point it’s time to emphasize what the FO part of FAFO means.
No, Hugh, YOU are ignorant. The IDF knew well in advance that the Oct7 attack was coming, Israel media admits this... Bibi let it happen, to justify the long planned genocide and land thefts.
FAFO? So you approve of the mass murder of 100,000 innocents? The use or WP? The theft of all of Gaza? You are a psychotic turd.
Yes, the massive abuses and apartheid of Israel has resulted on attacks by their victims... but nothing like the abuse heaped on Palestinian heads by the Zionists.
BTW: You are also ignorant about how Israel came to be, in '47. Without the BIG LIE of the "holocaust", Israel would not exist. And appalling LIE, that has been used ever since to justify the abuse, genocides, corruption and thefts of the Zionists.

OMG!! I’m not even going to entertain anyone that thinks the holocaust was a big lie!! Maybe you should speak to the ancestors of that horror show.
Yeah, everyone knows that it was real, just as the same people know that Biden won the 2020 election.
"Everyone knows" - a classic logical fallacy. Arguing from popular opinion.

Hugh, It was and is and ongoing lie and crime of major/international proportions, extorting the German people of their wealth for decades.
You've apparently been watching too much t.v. and Hollywierd propaganda. The 'Shoa'. Hit the books my friend. 2.2 million Jews in all of Europe in 1924 Encyclopedia. Sylvia Stolz. Fred Leuchter Report. Movie: 'Firestorm Over Dresden'.
Wow!!! All those Jew survivors of the recreation camps and families with members who were killed in there collaborating to extort the Germans. The Jews must’ve voluntarily wore those yellow stars of David so they could identify with each other and concoct the Big Lie during their secret meetings while playing hide and seek in the local attics and basements. All those Jews giving up their businesses and homes so they had nothing to come back to with no alternative but to go back to Israel. Who’da thunk it? When’s the next Skin Head meeting? I wanna come and learn more!! My KKK brothers will vouch for me. I’m good, really.
Tony, do you know how utterly F’ING STUPID you sound? You and the Dude should get a room together. I’m sure you two could have a wonderfully slobbering love affair together as you read books to each other while giving each other swastika tattoos. It seems the Germans have let all Nazi stuff go, but there’s always a few slow kids that just never got over playing, Who’s the Biggest Antisemite?
Yes, the Germans were utterly crushed, physically and psychologically. They've been dying for generations, gradually becoming a Muslim state thanks to the New World Order and the Holocaust Cult. But now in the 11th hour, they are fighting back.
Thank God and Thank You.
You're a dumbass Hugh. The Germans are the best people on the planet. Get a clue, and don't get back to me.
By the way, Ignorant Tony, JHK whose substack you’re leaving comments on, is Jewish. Perhaps you and he talk…. I bet he’d love to wipe the floor with your ass in a debate over Jewish history and their claims to Israel. Seems that’s been their land for over 3000 years. Earlier than Christianity or Islam. I won’t dispute that and I’m not Jewish.
You didn’t get my sarcasm, Tony. Yes, the Germans are fine people and have long ago let their history of being led by a madman go. But like I said some of the slow kids (Namely you, M’Fer!), haven’t let go of the antisemitic hate because you’re too fucking stupid to accept reality. You demonstrate what a completely ignorant moron you are with each time you post here and deny the truth. Have a nice day 🖕
Yeah right Hugh. Like I said your a dumbass.
“You’re” There. Fixed it for ya moron!
Uh, Yeah no Hugh. Semitism is protected class supremacy, totalitarian democracy, Israeli parasitism and war mongering.
I’ve been to Auschwitz and Birkenau. They seemed pretty real to me, with many of their gas chambers still intact.
Gas chambers constructed two years after the war. It's all a huge 'Shoa' and a huge crime. The perpetrators and their descendants have a vested interest in maintaining the lie. They are Satan's children, and it was the father of lies.
They've been examined. They're not air tight thus they're not viable, thus they were never used, thus they aren't real. Want to keep going? Show us the remains. Or the mountains of ash if you believe that part.
Of course it was turned into a religion. Of course. It could never stand up to any real examination.
That's why they (the Jews) made it a crime. Sylvia Stolz said, after her release from prison, that when there is a group of people who make the laws, but themselves are not subject to those laws, then we have a problem. A HUGE PROBLEM and it's not getting any better, if you haven't noticed.
I actually was agreeing with him until he came with the holocaust denial nonsense
Pluribus, when I see trump do at least one of the following, I will hail Trump as the greatest:
1. Stop printing money.
2. Audit the Fed.
3. Eliminate unconstitutional agencies such as the Department of Education and many others.
4. Seal and close the borders.
5. Deport millions of illegals (not just the bad criminals for they are all criminals for just being here).
6. Close a few military bases scattered throughout 150+ countries throughout the world.
7. Reform Social Security and make it solvent.
8. STOP SPENDING MONEY WE DON'T HAVE (balanced budget).
There are things Trump will do and there are those things Trump will not touch with a 39 and a half foot pole.
Don't get me wrong, I love what I am seeing from Mr. Trump and I applaud him but, like he was in his first term, he won't touch the real serious issues.
How are you feeling today?
Response:
1. Right now, he can slow it down, but our deficit and service to the debt precludes stopping the presses. Watch the Dems screaming as they see their empire crumble.
2. He passed judgement on their holding steady on rates, he is watching.
3. It is happening as we post.
4. It is happening as we post, the reaction in LA is proof that it is happening and the border crossings have plummeted.
5. We will cross the Rubicon when Homan starts concentrating on "non-criminal border crossers. The Dems are going nuts as they watch their election cheat ability erode away.
6. Right now, Trump is looking at the Middle East. Taking over Gaza? Telling Iran that any attack on him will result in "obliteration" of Iran? Finally, someone is sick and tired of the interference of Iran in promoting unrest in the ME and is going to do something about "canceling their stamp". Keep an eye on Russia.
7. SSA is locked in, contractually, by the fact that everyone pays into the fund, so cutting benefits will be a MAJOR political upheaval, something DC just does not do. So maybe the only short term answer is the delaying of benefits or even the increase in taxes. There is not a good answer for this one. My opinion is that 2034(?) will come by and benefits will be cut back a percentage as the trust fund will be depleted and only current taxation will support payments.
8. A balanced budget has become impossible. The reason being the increase of the service on the debt has skyrocketed. I would like to see a plan showing a progressive decline in spending versus the debt, something any house hold would do under the same circumstances. It will take the same time, maybe 50 years of selective trimming to get the country in good economic stead. Kill spending and keep taxes as they are now.
9. add on: Watch what Musk is doing, USAID and Education department. Musk is taking the heat off of Trump. As he obviously does not give a damn about political ramifications, he will be an effective cost cutter. A measure of that is the Dems attacking him in droves. The more pissed off they become, the better job he is doing.
Eff the Dems. Maybe eventually the press will stop covering the SOBs.
NO doubt the DNC is not a legit political party, but a crime syndicate. The coming weeks and months will reveal further evidence of their crimes. Which is why its leadership needs to be prosecuted (including wealthy "donors") and its presence removed from future ballots.
Exactly. They are criminal. Dems all and Rhinos most. They have stolen our money for years, oppressed us with social blackmail. It is over.
"It is over." ~ Miriamnae
Simply stated, thank you, Miriamnae.
They're going to have to give back what they've stolen from us - or work it off building Elon's Pyramids on Mars.
You're a dreamer, Lugh. I like dreamers. Maybe one day it will come true. I just did my tax return. I owe over $10,000 after massive withholdings. Your dream ain't true yet.
No shit I paid 96,000 in taxes already and owe more.
Your money is an expression of your life force and therefore, they have stolen your lifeforce, in addition to terrorism and psychological manipulation using MSM false narratives.
I really like your point about needing a strong opposition because power corrupts. Right now the Republicans have staked out the moderate stance on every issue because the Democrats have let them, but the pendulum WILL swing the other way, the Rs have their own issues that will be taken to an extreme if given the chance. Two sane parties was actually a pretty genius convention, it (normally) keeps the pendulum from swinging too far from the center line.
The reason two (sane) parties representing Right and Left, exist and should exist in perpetuity, is they represent two poles of societal necessities: Support for the healthy individual (freedom), and support for a healthy society (fairness). However, the Democrats in toto, and a good chunk of the Republicans, had over the last few decades been hijacked by the enemy of both, the totalitarian concentrators of power.
Don't forget "concentrators of cash". Can you imagine what it would look like if you could see every single hidden offshore account balance, know where the money originated and its full ownership? That would make some interesting reading.
That’s coming.

Exactly. Excellent way of putting it.
In a country of 335 million people there are many more views than left or right, especially when a majority of the country consider themselves to be centrists. The two party system is a dismal failure. Look at the mess the country is in right now. That is because of the political party system. Party first, Country last. Just as George Washington tried to warn us about in his farewell address.
Agreed! BUT, look at the mess that always exists in multi-party countries in Europe. Which is worse?
"In a country of 335 million people there are many more views than left or right"
Of course. There is an infinity of policy formulas for collecting people together, and for evolving those collections. But in recent (9?) decades, at least, in the US system they seem to gravitating around the two apparently natural and complementary poles I identified.
I see where you are going with your comment but I can't dismiss the evidence that is before us to day. $36 trillion in debt. No way to pay it back. Money printing to fund the interest on the debt. Inflation. No balanced budget. Debt ceilings always increased and useless. The evidence screams at us. The two party system is a dismal failure. Period. It should be thrown in the trash the same disgust and revulsion that one would have when throwing an exploded poopy diaper in the garbage. It is a disgusting creation that has failed every man, woman and child of this nation who is not of the political class. We should be ashamed of its creation and its existence and should do all within our power to eschew it, purge it from society and teach our children and grand children to avoid it at all costs.
"The two party system is a dismal failure."
I think our inability as yet to recognize, never mind control, psycho/sociopaths in our cultures (all of them) is our biggest political problem, more than the structure of our political systems. This failure has resulted, for example, in the iron law of oligarchy, which infects everything from capitalism to communism. It's why totalitarians rose to the top, everywhere, in the supposedly democratic West.
"I think our inability as yet to recognize, never mind control, psycho/sociopaths"
Excellent point! It's these kind of people who always end up in government. This is why I love reading the commentariat here at Kunstler.
As I espouse regularly, government is a focus of power people, who are by nature, evil. Power people do not give a damn about people and their needs. Government, by its nature, works against its people and for its preservation.
AKA, the Deep State.
Thanks
Its the 'Temple' money magicks. You know them as the Federal Reserve. The money is borrowed into existence, only the principle is printed, never the interest. It's FRAUD from the getgo, and therefore null and void ab initio, nunc pro tunc.
For the $36 trillion to cause any form of bankruptcy, the creditors must demand their money.
Who are the creditors? What will force them to get their money? What would happen if the government just said, “You have 30 days to lay claim to all your treasuries. After that we are just going to cancel them.” We might all be surprised by what happens.
Stock market would hit 100000? Foreign investment up-up-up?
I like it JohnAZ. That's stackworthy material.
Greek clarity here. Thank you. ALL and I repeat, ALL, societies must have these two elements to be viable. Some have more of one and less of another. Some balances aren't very good, just as ours isn't very good.
When the pendulum is submerged in the government swamp of bureaucratic nepotism and intransigence it is no longer swinging. Trumps demolition team is attempting to drain that swamp. It's inhabitants will not go quietly while their home is being destroyed. They truly are the entrenched enemies of Democracy. Impervious to elections and elected POTUS... at least until now
There should not be a pendulum. Government is inherently evil because it seeks to force its people to be one way or another. Government should be a creation OF THE PEOPLE and not rule over them.
Too many people worship the Government. It is America's new god.
Government is a total scam. They have the people under a spell and therefore in a trance, using advanced technology to mind-control the population. The television is one of their primary tools to hypnotize and brainwash the masses.
The sole purpose of the television is to 'fix you gaze' at which point signal entrainment implants messages into the subconscious mind. Turn off the boob tube but beware, they also use silent sound technology over the radio and in music.
The pendulum swings as a result of the people reacting to bad policy over and over.
The first noticed it was Jimmy Carter (good man horrible President) losing to Ronald Wilson Reagan and that swing has existed ever since.
What do we as a country do when the candidates are both repulsive?
There are other parties in the mix but they get zero press for the most part.
1980 Jimmy Carter vs Ronald Reagan† J
1984 Walter Mondale vs Ronald Reagan†
1988 Michael Dukakis vs George H. W. Bush† Ron Paul (Libertarian)
Lenora Fulani (New Alliance)
I did vote for Ron Paul

I liked the point about needing a strong opposition. There IS something a bit scary about unbridled Trumpian grandiosity running rampant through the land. So far it’s been awesome! But stuff like project Stargate make me nervy
It’s supposed to work that when one party starts getting out over there skis, people in the middle will move the other way and slowly shift the pendulum the other way. I really think this this full rejection of the Democrat worldview of unlimited immigration, trans rights over women’s rights, etc , will allow that party to kick out the activist wing that’s gotten them to the place they are so the moderates can run the party again. It’s the same thing that the Republicans did to the neocons in our party over the last few years, thanks to Trump seeing the populist movement and being willing and strong enough to take the lead.
The real problem today is that the "opposition" party wants to destroy America, not "reform" it. Enough people caught on to this to clobber them in the last election. It is going to be a tough road back for the Dems as their policies are against basic American beliefs and morality.
He will serve this initiative as he served the Vax. This one in fact, combines both. Kennedy is fake opp and is on board.
I remember the biggest problem with the Vaxx was it was a brand new technology with many unknowns and a history of problems. It was then, and now, never really tested for long term effects. The amount of investigation of both the Vaxx and the Covid virus itself was abysmal. Why do we even have an NIH and CDC if this is the kind of work they do?
IMHO, the leaked virus and its Vaxx component were developed at the same time, as the S protein sequence was the same. The biological weapon needed an antidote to prevent self-infection. Both the virus and its vaxx were failures as biological agents. The panic the virus release caused gave the Fauci crowd, (Trump included) an excuse to "try out " the mRNA technology of viral introduction into cells, a basic need for a cancer cure. The real shame and what I hope RFK deals with is the continuation of mRNA development. Some things mankind should not be messing with and DNA is on that list.
I also believe that a very stupid medical community, facing Covid, killed loads of people with medical malpractice, AKA intubation. They killed many people putting them on vents.
"Two sane parties was actually a pretty genius convention"
No it wasn't. Good god, Valerie. The two party political system is what has left us $36 trillion dollars in debt with no way to pay it back. We as a country are broke! Busted! Bankrupt!
The money is gone. Poof! Vanished! How, after all this, can you sit there and say that the two party system been a genius convention?
Go read George Washington's farewell address. He has some pretty stiff teachings against the political party system.
No reason to be a jerk. I personally think it was genius, I certainly don’t see countries with a multi-party system being in much better shape. We are allowed to have our own opinions on these things without attacking others.
He’s not being a jerk, he’s just being a cankerpuss 😬. But I don’t go with blackpilled opinions either. You can say things are bad but who knows how much worse it might have been without the political structures that got us here.
Or how much better if our forefathers had avoided political tribalism and focused on the Country first.
Yes, I am black pilled because I am realist. I see things as they are, not as I am told to see them. $36 trillion, my friend. That's all anyone needs to know. $36 trillion. That is going to bury us, our children, our grand children and our great great grand children. I'm pissed. I'm livid. And why $36 trillion? Because 535 assholes in DC can't get their shit together and stop spending money that we don't have and these 535 people are Republicans and Democrats with 2 or 3 useless "independents" in there.
All of this was brought upon us by 535 individuals. 535 individuals have done this. These people are charged with the public treasury and they have failed. These people are charged with administering the will of the people they represent. The result? High taxes. Endless wars. Inflation. Devaluing of the US dollar. Housing we cannot afford. The political parties have done this.
I don't print money. I don't raise taxes. I don't spend tax dollars. Do you? Nope. Neither does Valerie. Who does? Congress. CONGRESS does. All our problems are because of Congress.
I cannot understand why we as a people continue to turn to a political system that has done NOTHING but destroy our money, put us into debt, wage endless wars and praise it? We are like a dog turning to its vomit.
535 individuals have pillaged the treasury, indebted us forever, spent our strength and means in foreign nations that pose no threat to us, permitted the invasion of our nation by millions of unidentified mutts and we still, still, STILL think the political system that CREATED THIS MESS will fix this mess for us?
This is why I get so frustrated when I read comments like Valerie's. She's got a good heart, most likely a kind person.
But Americans need to pull their heads out of their asses. Everything. EVERYTHING that is ailing our nation right now is because of 535 politicians who put political party before America. I'm sick of this bullshit and I won't play the game anymore.
That’s the thing mate! You can drop out of their game, pretty much. Lots of people do, every day. But giving up sorta concedes the battle to the enemy. I like the fight in Trump’s eye and choose to hope he will bring in radically needed changes.
He may fail. Then I’ll hope on whoever comes next or ultimately, the Lord. But hope is important and I will persist ✌🏼
You have described one aspect of the Deep State, the croup that puts their own re-elections in front of the people. It is much deeper than 535 folks, it has infected all parts of the federal, state and local governments including the judiciary and law enforcement agencies.
Trump has his work cut out for him trying to undo the damage. What to do? The Deep State has been successful in disarming most ways of promoting change, especially through the media. One thing though, concentrate on voting against the status quo in the off-year election in 2026 and voted anti-Deep State. In most places, vote against the incumbent RINOs and Dems. If we could get 61 conservatives in the Senate and a ten plus majority in the House, much of the progressive Left could be destroyed by 2028.
IMHO, elections are the only thing left that can offset the Deep State.
I can see the value of a third party, like Kennedy’s when he declared Independent. This Third Party would be the pivot between the extremes, siding with one or the other where needed. Like for instance when the Democrats went so extreme that the third party aligned with Trump.
Think of it as a modulating mechanism that keeps the pendulum swing in bounds.
Or, alternatively, create a movement within an existing political party, and take out the bad apples. Kind of like what MAGA is doing inside the GOP.

Political parties, regardless of the number of them always lead to tribalism. Party first, nation last. That's what happens, regardless of there being 2 or 20 of them. Gorgeous George warned us and boy was he spot on in his warnings. People today don't give a damn about America. But don't you dare criticize their precious party or their party's candidate.
I'm not being a jerk and I didn't attack you. I rebuffed your opinion. I re-read my post and I don't see anywhere where I insulted or attacked you. You need to grow a thicker skin.
Im waiting to hear the alphabet agencies will be broken into regional branches, and smug individuals perhaps raising kids in expensive private schools in and around the DC area, are left with the choice to take up residence in places like Saginaw, or Bakersfield, or Tempe, or be forced to join the rest of us in the private sector.
Trump actually tried to start this in the 1st administration. I believe he wanted to send the Interior department to Kansas City. It was blocked, of course, by the centrists. I anticipate, in the spirit of de-centralization, this will be arising again, and soon. First though, Trump has to get the bureaucrats to go back to work, at the office.
I don't want these people in Middle America.
Ha! Ha! I don’t want that either! 👍
I am waiting to see the Unconstitutional BLM (Bureau of Land Management) wiped out and all that Federal land returned to the state. In my state of Utah Uncle Sam owns and manages 67% of Utah land. All of that land, inaccessible to the State for development and taxation rights. I am not sure, but show me anywhere in the Constitution where it says the Federal Government can own land. Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada and others have vast amounts of land under Federal ownership. It's all illegal. All of it.
What we have her is a failure to communicate. Observations reveal it's not a constitutional government. Have you ever been to court? Everybody is guilty and everybody pays. They're extorting our life force at gunpoint. I call it gunpoint business.
Not illegal. The Federal government pre-dates all claims in the West because it was here first, as the states were just territories then. It would probably take an amendment to change the ownership as it pertains to amendment 10.
Kudos for recognizing that we need an effective opposition. In the meantime we should at least find out what the government has been doing on our behalf all these years, and who has benefited from the money that flows into DC from our pockets and our future.
Every fucking war on earth has the cia’s fingerprints all over it. Every one. Prove me wrong. You will find usaid in places BEFORE every conflict.
Cutting the funding for USAID is a good first step by removing the funding source for much of the CIA’s mischief.
And the military, and State.
One thing that always protected the cia was the sheer volume of information they had meant they could hide but the thought of turning AI tools on the whole blob could unearth the truth quickly. Hmm.
Just a comment, the FBI and CIA are in trouble because they are totally ineffective. How many incidents of recent years would have been prevented with an effective DOJ and intelligence organization. How many shooting, terror attacks etc. could have been prevented. Instead, they are going to get Trump. One thing I will say, the first two weeks of Trump really points at what the real enemy of the people is, the Democrats.
According to Mike Benz, USAID is run out of The State Department and is responsible for organizing all the “color revolutions” (regime change operations) we have witnessed over the years.
Any hesitation was removed when Rubio took it over.
Not having played the Mike Benz link yet, State (V Nuland) has fingrprints all over it. Think cia gives an assist as needed.
"on our behalf" I'm inclined to go with 'in our name for their benefit'
just a passing comment :-)
That "we" gets tossed around rather too freely, doesn't it?
I have a couple.
1. Funded the war in Ukraine. I am so grateful for this, afterall, I have racked in tremendous benefit from this war. I see it every day in my paycheck.
2. Funded the war in Israel. I can't speak to my gratitude for the assistance to Israel. I mean, just let me tell you how this has helped me and my family........uh.........er........., well, it's a good thing.
3. Funded the sustenance for so many illegal immigrants, who, have so much respect for my Country that they came here.......legally......uh, still thinking on that one. I mean, they are spending that money in our cities, right?
4. Military bases in 150+ countries throughout the world. I feel safer. So much safer knowing that I won't be bombed at night while sleeping in my bed. I mean, having a base in Djibouti is so important to American security.
5. National Parks!!! Last time I went to Glacier National Park I couldn't get on the Going to the Sun Road because I didn't have an entry ticket. But hey, my tax dollars are going to protect these national parks we are loving to death.
I'm sorry, I just feel so much benefit from the taxes that I send to Uncle Sam every year. Every missile that Raytheon produces. Every jet that Lockheed Martin produces. Every bullet, every gun, every tank, that my tax dollars go to build to fight wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, I am so proud of. I mean, those damned Afghanis are threatening me every day. Same goes for this Iraqis and Syrians!!
Since we do not have any viable opposition to the Trump-Musk alliance, I suppose we have rule by 2 people plus all the muscle they've hired. While I love seeing DEI, the trans agenda, CRT, and open immigration get the axe, I also am concerned about what seems to be shaping up as a technocracy, or techno-feudalism, as many of us have been warning about for years.
The Dem party was never a good party, although perhaps the 2 party system somewhat balanced each other out. But not since the 1960s in any effective manner that I can detect. It just got more and more "uniparty."
So... the future ought to be interesting.
Too polarized, it's not a Dem/Rep thing as the rhino wing belongs to the uniparty. It's the 'other' as in the independents, unaligned, whatever the various states give as a name tag for those who won't fit neatly into the two-party narrative.
Result is a breakup of some sort. The 10th Amendment was done in rather well in the 1860's. If it resurrects, it could be a building block for some manner of confederation using the Constitutional Republic as the model.
The board game flipper states, particularly from Maryland up to Canada and the Left Coast won't play very well.
The thing the Democrats will do now is create chaos at the grass roots level. Protest by blocking highways, mask up and vandalize, show up at government officials' homes, interfere with ICE operations, destroy property, set fires and lawyer up. The Dems' insane shenanigans will move to the streets. It's imperative they get there asses kicked. Also look for more election interference and fraud at the state and local level.
It’s started. LA freeway blocked after Kareem Jeffries, wanna be Muslim while living off of our capitalism, made his war call statement: ‘we have to take the fight to the street.’
Hopefully drivers will run them the fuck over, then put it in reverse and back over them, just for good measure. But, in Cali, I wouldn't bet on it. Let them try that in a small town.
And then go to prison for 40 years. I share you sentiment, Ron, but these protestors aren't worth the sacrifice. Rather than kill them, I'd like to see the motorists form a mob and physically take the fuckers off the road and beat the bejeezus out of them and then return to their cars. See if they feel like protesting after a solid whooping. Mobs are harder to prosecute after all.
You should write a song about that.
Jason Aldean can do a re-write, he just has to add the lyrics about running them over.
"It's where I drank muh first beer!"
(No more italics? What kind of brave new world is this?)
Hopefully this time the National Guard is called out to protect the citizens and not to protect the communists.
That's a big hope.
This time round,I’m pretty sure enough cracked skulls and bullet holes early on will prevent further shitnanagins
Maybe get through March, warmer weather in April/May not looking so good.
Much happens historically around 19 April. just sayin'
Also expect more Trans terror since Trump is cracking down on them.
Appears to be an insurrection call.
This is war. The necessities of war dictate that speech and any actions taken based on that speech.
For which they will never be accused.
Incitement to riot used to be illegal... no?
See my comment to wkenn above. Fuck illegal. This is war.
Hey, if you want to take DIRECT action against Hasshole Hakeem and his Dems... that would be great!
But while you lock and load... Bondi and/or kash should prepare to quickly indict and prosecute that vile, lisping DEI afroturd ASAP.
Aka Maxine Waters
The word is our far and wide (first on alternative lifestyle sites then to mainstream sites if the protests gain steam) to model on some scale all over the country the LA "protests."
I am looking so forward to Tom Homan putting the governor of NJ in jail for interference with ICE.
Another idea, arrest them all, or at least the leaders. Treat them like the J6ers were treated. Do an immigration status check on all of them and deport the illegals.
Not undocumented, illegal!!!!!!!
I wouldn't bother checking their immigration status, if they are marching in the Street waving foreign flags and screaming insults, just take every single one of them, barcode their foreheads, and dump them over the fence into Tijuana.
Not enough.
Pass a federal law that says IF they are caught in the country illegally, they will never get citizenship, never get a single dime in federal aid, make it illegal to receive state and county aid their children if born here no longer become citizens and each time they are caught here the penalties are raised $2,000 dollar fine six months in jail doubled for each offense.
Give the illegal aliens and their families a two-month grace period to deport themselves.
If a business is caught hiring an illegal alien stiff fines per illegal like $25k and jail time for the owner/ managers. While in jail they will work off fines with public service as well and have their name, business name and picture published in the local paper.
This would include private citizens hiring from Home Depot parking lots.
I agree with all of that, but we have to put a barcode tattoo on their foreheads so that we can easily identify them if they are caught again.
No way that will ever happen it is way to much like NAZI Germany.
It might be a good threat to tell them if they are caught in the country again, but tattoos can be removed.
They are so obvious when you see them there is no mistaking illegal aliens for what they are.
At the moment I can pick them out of the crowd.
Ice should hire me, and they should hit all the Costco's in the San Diego area somehow all these assholes have Costco cards.
New shoes, new clothes, new Iphones, new hoodies, and right now nervous as hell.
We are awash in illegal alien Latinos, muslims, Africans and Chinese people.
I am seeing full blown bee keeper burkas and head coverings with just eye slits.
One of them hissed at my wife the other day when my wife asked her nicely to move out of the way.
I resorted to telling her to get the fuck out of the way and then told her husband he better control his brood mare. Needless to say, the Somali man started screaming at her causing quite the scene.
Pretty sure the religion of peace practitioner beat her ass when they left.
These people are utterly alien in every way to our Republic and should all be sent back ASAP LEGAL OR NOT.
Our melting pot has become a chamber pot.
The Jews took credit for opening our borders to the Third World back in 1965. They used gentile front men like Ted Kennedy, but they were the hidden power behind the whole thing. The weaker we are, the stronger they are. See their motivation?
Thank You Ben. Hiring illegals is already a crime in California. Penalty is 6 months in the slammer, and $3,000 fine per illegal, from memory.
I expect the GOP to push through federal election reform, eliminating mail-in balloting en masse, and requiring same day voting and voter identification.
DNC is organized criminal enterprise. Basically, the Bolsheviks undercover.
I agree. That's why I favor selective elimination.
Carville says there a lot of bright young Democrat leaders, but the DNC just made Hogg vice chair!
You’re spot on in your diagnosis of the left’s cognitive dissonance.
Carville seems to be a complete loon. I don't know how anyone would take him seriously.
Mary, the Dem structure is comprised of loons. We are responsible for putting these loons into power and will now feel the pain for what they did in their lunacy. Carville is a cheerleader.
We are not responsible. You might be.
Agreed. Who is we? You got a mouse in your pocket?
I’ve always considered myself an Independent but have never found a Democrat who was ever the lesser of two evils (which is what the choice between candidates generally comes down to).
This past election was the first one that I was ever enthusiastic about the candidate I voted for. After watching Trump get undermined and villainized at every turn over the last eight years, my vote for him was intended to send the entrenched Illuminati a message that this should never happen again.
“If you’re going to take a swing at the king, you best not miss!”
We is the USA population, we is a judicial system that is blue as the sky. We is 50% who believe that the USA is evil and must be destroyed. We is America internal, its own worst enemy.
Me? As red as you can get.
HWB - A swing, or a shot. They missed and now they’re getting exactly what they deserve. Vengeance is best served cold.
The lesser of two evils is still evil. I am always surprised at how accepting "good" people are of this. One would think "good" people would eschew evil in all of its forms. I guess this doesn't apply in American politics.
Yes!
Where does 'responsible' end, 'let them get away with it' begin (neglect), and 'didn't have enough ability despite trying to push back' fit?
I’ve always thought he was too…until seeing the latest flock of loons that flew in to DC starting with Obama.
Clinton was pretty bad since he did give away nuclear secrets to the CCP.
If not for the contract with America Newt Gingrich pushed the Billy Clinton regime would have been really bad but slick willy knew it was better to go along then fight it.
Cognitive dissonance=willful ignorance.
Time to tear down the monster in DC.
This country has been oppressed by corruption since November 22, 1963. Trump's second term is the settling of accounts, and brother, there's going to be a reckoning.
There has been treason and sedition for far too long, and what was good for Julius and Ethel is going to be just desserts for a long cast of characters that got away with far too much for far too long. They've gotten away with felonious crimes financial, sexual, to literal mass murder, and mere fines, prison, and banishment from the trough are not enough.
This is the time where Donald The Great paradoxically wields all of the power that was centralized into DC over the eons by dark forces against the people, in the name of the people against their dark force tormentors.
Moderation comes after the punishments are meted out to the guilty and lessons are seared into the historical memory of the country so our posterity can see that this was the time that the country regained its moral sanity and The Republic was saved.
November 22, 1963? Seriously? Ever heard of Franklyn Delano Roosevelt? What about Woodrow Wilson? How about Abraham Lincoln? This Country has been oppressed far longer than 1963 my friend.
Richard E. Sprauge, 'The Taking of America 1-2-3'.
Amen
Conspiracy theory is the fundamental basis of criminal law. For a grand jury to bring an indictment, a theory of the conspiracy must be developed. Conspiracy is simply two or more people colluding to break the law, and is itself and indictable offense.
Conspiracy theorists have the most idea how things actually work because they are using logic and critical thinking to assess the mass of available evidence they accumulate. Police and prosecutors practice conspiracy theory as part of their job.
Says the guy that is all in on Democrat policies and their collectivist bullshit.
Most of DC should be relocated to Nome, Alaska...then Trump won't have to pay the DC parasites to quit....When we don't have any more Federal bureaucrats than Andrew Jackson's administration, Trump can declare victory....
Maybe Thule Greenland?

How do you DO it, Jim? Knocked it out of the park satirically yet again with "[The Democrats'] aim has basically been to induce you to doubt your sanity. You were asked to swallow one fabulous absurdity after another." As opposed to Mump, right? LOL ROFL LMFAO!

Socialism is a hard thing to uproot once it gains power in a country. The reason is very simple: Socialism has appeal to the masses, even though it is a really a construct of a political elite that wants to wield total power over those masses. Once in power, the Socialist elite knows that its ideology will lose popularity as soon as the ideology is fully imposed upon the masses, so the Socialist elite must always must be prepared, able, and willing to exterminate anyone who threatens the regime. History is filled with examples--Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, and--yes--Hitler. Hitler was every bit a Socialist, just a slightly different flavor of Socialist than a Communist. Hitler despised the Communists, not because they were Socialists, but because Hitler believed his flavor of Socialism was superior to theirs. Hitler said, "It is not Germany that will turn Bolshevist, but Bolshevism that will become a sort of National Socialism. Besides, there is more that binds us to Bolshevism than separate us from it… The petit bourgeois Social-Democrat and the trade-union boss will never make a National Socialist, but the Communist always will."
Democrat elites love to call Trump and conservatives "Fascists," but the reality is that Trump and the conservatives reject every tenet of Fascist Socialism. Meanwhile, the Obama/Hillary/Biden/Soros cabal has embraced nearly every tenet of Fascist/Socialism, with some Communist/Socialism mixed in to placate the Sanders/Squad Communist faction of the Democrat Party. The Democrat Party's rudderless ship is wandering the political ocean aimlessly because its factions just bicker over what kind of Socialists that they should be. The only thing that they are unified enough about is that they hate Trump and conservatives--and that is no longer enough for them win elections. The Democrats know it, and that is why the Biden (Obama III) Administration basically tried to establish a de facto Socialist dictatorship before the 2024 election. They almost did, but came up short. Now, the Democrats are going to pay the price for what they tried to do, and I really hope that price that they pay is incredibly high--they deserve it.
Nah, Germany was National Socialist just like China is now. The latter has produced so many billionaires, surely you don't consider them still to be Communist? They guide their Capitalists. You can't hurt the Nation. Why is that a bad thing? Because lust for money is such that the greed heads don't care who they hurt.
Play ball with the nation - or else. If you do play ball was as Pinochet said: Of course you are good to people who do things and make things.
China is one of the worst they will sell their daughters into sex slavery, destroy their environment and lie about EVERYTHING TO MAKE A BUCK.
@Lugh the poster you said Nah to nailed it.
Chinese cities are immaculate? The Chinese city I live at in suburban Los Angeles is getting uglier by the year. Chinese developers are tearing down mid-century tract houses and slapping up identical, tacky McMansions
Immaculate?
None that I have seen.
Many of them suffer from both sewage pollution and air pollution.
It's not uncommon to see Chinese people blowing their noses right onto the ground and letting their kids publicly pee on the ground.
This is why they take their shoes off when they enter their houses because the streets in China are filthy.
I won't defend them too much. But their cities are immaculate, the high tech futurism we were promised.
I can't remember: Was it Napoleon who said, Don't awaken the Dragon? A 19th century clergyman repeated it. Anyway, we did and they have taken vengeance on us and will take more yet.
The Democratic Party won't moderate their position. To give you an example, a famous weekly newsmagazine, called Newsweek, existed from 1933-2012. For decades it was well-read and very popular. Then, it started to go hard left. During the Obama presidency, it went farther and farther left, people stopped subscribing to it, companies stopped advertising it, and dust would grow on the latest issue as it said, unread, in magazine racks at stores. At one point its cover depicted Obama as a dancing god (seriously). Toward the end, the editorial board had a stark choice 1) moderate their content and produce a magazine people wanted to read or 2) stay the course and go out of business as a weekly newsmagazine. They chose option 2, and ceased to exist as a printed, weekly magazine. Newsweek was hemorrhaging money by this point. Given the choice of moderating their position and winning elections, or staying hard left and losing them, and fading away as a powerful political party, the Democrats will absolutely again choose option 2.
Lets hope so.
May they molder in the dark like the rotted corpse they are.
