“The job of the president, goes the message from all the insiders, is to PRETEND to be in charge but not actually do anything meaningful." —Jeffrey Tucker
Like someone said, ATF should be a convenience store, not a government agency. Hopefully it was given to him to absorb then dissolve it, much like Department of Education is (hopefully) going to be dismantled.
I think/hope they have a good replacement for him in the interim.
Please no one that will just dissolve the show into a mess. There are only a few people I believe that can replace him.... that I would respect, otherwise I will be very angry.
No, I don't think so. He's known about this for a while I think. He has a new 6pm (EST?) show coming up, and he said 'soon', like this week and has hinted at other offerings. He'll keep the franchise going, until he returns from public service.
My hope is that his show will remain intact with a good replacement. If, God forbid, the Republicans lose in 2028, I'd hate for him to have to rebuild from scratch.
02/24/25: Agreed. I'm reasonably certain that Trump is just bidding his time before he brings Gaetz back. Make him the Ambassador to Great Britain (screw "UK") in charging of mocking Starmer and Lammy Monday through Friday.
02/24/25: Probably too incendiary. Better elsewhere is my guess. By the way, he's about the 999th candidatye that the Democrats have unsuccessfully tried to character-assassinate. One would think that their failure rate would be even obvious to THEM at this point.
Problem is police investigate, and the attorneys general, state and federal, prosecute. So need a prosecutor and assistants who are above any corruption. Do we have any. BTW how many people are in jail for crimes against the people of this country? I'm counting.
He likes girls before 20. That's when they're the most beautiful! So yes, such a smart man should stride the corridors of power.
Remember Buck chiding me for not liking oldsters like Meryl Streep? Now, that's conditioning. She is of course, a very fine actress. A beautiful woman in her time as well, a time that has passed.....
So? They're fair game,, and so is he. There are worse things for a young woman than a bit of training from an older man who knows what he's doing, and has the bucks to show her a good time while he's doing it. What an eye opener. No harm, no foul, and chances are, she'll get a nice consolation gift. out of it to remember him by.
I had Trump winning back in 2021, but anything beyond that would have required being Nostradamus!
Kunstler: "Those investigations will require a whole dedicated division of new FBI agents while Kash Patel attends to the latest grifts uncovered ... the threats against public order and safety posed by countless military-aged illegal aliens ushered into the country by 'Joe Biden' and Alejandro Mayorkas..."
After the extremely obvious election fraud of 2020, when we all went to bed seeing Trump the clear winner and waking up to "fortified" election results, I couldn't figure out what would come next...
Until Trump backed off on fighting the obvious election fraud. Then it occurred to me that his plan was to accumulate evidence and use it after soundly winning the next election in spite of the Demo-fraudsters, because the Democrats would cause so much shit in everyone's lives. Which they did, under "Joe Biden" (actually Klain and Zients). And here we are. Very much like "Return of the Jedi".
Yes, Annette, now every day feels like Christmas! We go to bed with dreams of sugar plums dancing in our heads, then wake up and wonder, what will Donald Claus bring us today?! ;-) <3
The pace at which Trump is dismantling the blob is even too fast for reaction. The only obstacle that is helping to slow the pace of defeat is the entrenched judiciary. Kash and Dan will shock and awe the blob with indictments of some notable judges and congressmen soon. Stay Tuned and grab the popcorn.
They need to conduct their own shock and awe, and fast. Half of any action is the incoming message. Trump’s Troops need to be quick and politically deadly.
Yes. Patel & Bongino were a couple of fringe alt-media types as they told truth as a couple of lone voices in the wilderness. Look at them now!
We all (not just alt but EVERYONE) knew that there was something shady as Congressman after Congresswoman after Senator arrived in DC with a net worth of bupkis and then turned a $200k/year income into tens of millions net worth ten and twenty years later. "That's just the way it is" ... until it isn't!
Actually Patel was a Federal trial attorney with DOJ, senior counsel to the Joint Special Operations Command, and senior counsel on counterterrorism to the House Intelligence Committee. Bongino was with the NYPD and later the Secret Service.
What is your problem with me not wanting to have American culture bastardized by foreigners. I am a Georgian and a Confederate. I can't do any better than that.
That you’re a Georgian and a Confederate is quite obvious, but it’s certainly nothing to brag about. With that in mind, you being proud to associate yourself with the likes of Stacey Abrams and Fani Willis is quite baffling. You got something for those fat bottom girls that we need to know about? Come on, let it all out. The truth shall set you free!
You've come full circle. You now realize that nations that don't allow mass immigration are smart and will survive, while America dies under the dark tide of immigration.
Just like India. Who would want to be a citizen there. They all want to live in America. They have no desire to become citizens. The trope "import the third world, become the third world" is factual.
Patel: Israel should be our first priority. He's MIGA. Make India great again by making Israel great again. You can't advance without at least preteding to care about the latter.
Trump has given signals he does NOT support Israel/Netanyahu but he does need to act like he does to stay alive for one. If you saw the shocked look on Netanyahu's face when Trump announced he was not going to let Israel have Palestine, that was a huge tell. Trump is playing 5D chess. I've watched him for 45 yrs, he's very good at it.
You are blinded by your hate of all things Jewish, or at least Israeli. Trump is going to do what is right for America, in his eyes, so stand by and wait. His desire to resurrect Gaza under American surveillance is an indicator of his thoughts. He wants a land that will be for all folks, tourists from everywhere being serviced by a diverse group of everyone. Drive out Hamas, whom no one wants, then displace the Palis while reconstructing the zone. Like the USA, only certain folks, Palis and Israelis will do the reconstruction under USA tutelage. What is to become of Gaza after reconstruction? Who knows, but I would guess it will be up to the folks that reconstruct it.
He does seem to take a longer view if things but I don't think he's good enough for 5D. Maybe that is the difference between a statesman and a politician, the jury is still out.
He was never a politician and never wanted to be in politics. I've watched him and closely for 45 yrs, and have seen numerous interviews of him; he talked about this 40 yrs ago and said being in politics is a mean life and he never wanted to be part ofit; but if no one else came forward he might have to run for president to work at getting America back again. Considering the good work he's been doing since in office this time, IMO he's a statesman. Too many people don't really know that much about him, because they just read about him instead of watching him closely. He's a very unusual man who does things in very unconventional but effective ways. He got mafia out of New York, just for one and he had Jeffry Epstein arrested for bringin an underage date to Mar-a-Lago.
Feb. 14—A bill that would ban the use of mRNA vaccines, including for Covid-19, is on its way to the House floor after passing out of committee in a party-line vote Wednesday.
Sponsored by Rep. Greg Kmetz, R-Miles City, and co-sponsored by Northwest Montana Reps. Tracy Sharp, R-Polson, and Lukas Schubert, R-Kalispell, House Bill 371 would prohibit administering vaccines developed with mRNA, or messenger ribonucleic acid, technology on humans. The bill deems the technology, which was employed to create the Covid-19 vaccines, a hazard.
The House Judiciary Committee on Feb. 12 voted 12-8 to send the bill to the floor. Sharp, along with local Reps. Braxton Mitchell, R-Columbia Falls, and committee Chair Amy Regier, R-Kalispell, voted in favor.
The bill was amended to specify that the legislation would ban mRNA vaccines "for infectious diseases" and not "gene therapy products used to treat cancers or genetic disorders."
Supporters had previously testified that the vaccines caused more harm than good.
"[mRNA vaccines are] the most destructive and lethal medical products that have ever been used in medical history," Dr. Christine Drivdahl-Smith, a family physician in Miles City, told the committee earlier this month.
Opponents, though, said mRNA vaccines safely help the body build antibodies against diseases. They also argued that removing vaccines limits individual choice and involved the government in health care decisions.
"This bill interferes with the health care provider, patient relationships, it interferes with the practice of medicine," said Dr. Douglas Harrington, a preventative medicine physician and the state medical officer for the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, during testimony earlier this month.
Sorry, I don't. I'm all over the internet everyday most of the day, researching, so can't remember where I found that. If you can find the video of their meeting a few weeks ago, it's in that. I'll do a search to see if I can find it; if I do I'll post here.
Right, RFK is not Pfizer's pfool. But I never heard Trump say a negative word about Pfizer or its mRNA death jabs.
Maybe RFK will actually do something about the worst crime in human history, the jab mandates, or maybe Trump's condition for nominating Kennedy was that he would be quiet about the jabs. We shall see.
Something akin to the gulf war era Democrats heavily invested in MIC companies but screaming murder about the war they themselves voted for but then flopped on and pretended not to support.
It came out that many of the loudest and shrillest among them also had massive investment into companies like Raytheon, Northrup Gruman and Lockheed but the part no one actually expanded on was they were auto invested in many of these companies via auto investment vehicles via 401ks.
Right ... but more recently they were both alt media voices telling truth to relatively small audiences. In fact, most people had never heard of them until they were alt voices during the "Joe Biden" Administration.
Does any JHK reader happen to know the net worth of the Senator for Boeing (D) from Washington State. Patty Murray. The little lady in tennis shoes, a preschool teacher who was elected to the Senate in 1992.
Never met a defense spending bill she disapproved of.
Now 32-years later, with Patrick Leahy's retirement, Murray became the Senate President pro tempore in the 118th Congress, becoming the first female to hold the position in history.
She has been Deep Stated, like 534 of her peers in Congress. That is the main problem, the legislative branch is not doing its job. They are too concerned about the next election.
The Democrats are already planning their next political “slash and burn” project for the midterms next November so in their pea brains they can “take over the House and Senate” and put the brakes on Trump’s clean-up.
If Trump has secured a peace in foreign affairs and made a huge dent in the Democrats’ folly, I predict next November will be the final stake in the Democrat Party.
I couldn't agree with you more....the fish rots from the head (No Joke eh Joe Biden) a couple of dozen fish heads on the deck in the next month will have blobsters and their attorneys lined up like Tysons Corner traffic looking for plea deals.
Right, but many of these judges were planted in their spots, specifically to resist the tear down efforts that are going on now. For example, take the federal judge in RI. His wife runs a non-profit that took USAID money. She pays herself a 6 fig salary, drives luxury cars and the judge benefits from this arrangement too, we would have to think. Only 3% of her USAID money goes to her "cause".
Keep that popcorn handy, the period March through the Fall should feature some huge fireworks that we have not seen before brother! Both on the financial side and the criminal/political side.
I hate everything that refers to itself as a "judge." Why are they better than anyone else? Why are they judges? Because they hold a fancy law degree from an Ivy League propaganda school? Run all of them out of office.
I'm not so sure about that, Anon. Since federal judges are largely political appointees with lifetime tenure, and the Supreme Court able to nix legislation on purely political 5-4 votes, the Judiciary has the potential to be the most dangerous, unaccountable branch of government.
The role of the judiciary today has been “assumed” by them over the decades. Their function is not in the Constitution, their existence is given as a Congressional mandate, if needed.
Have you read Marbury v Madison? Judges absolutely legislate from the bench! Hell, Roe trashed the 10th amendment for 50 years! Chevron and Qualified Immunity were created out of thin air! How does a single Circuit Court Judge impose nationwide injunctions?
Excellent response, Mr. Slick, kudos to you! I was gobsmacked at the comment you responded to - how could anyone think judges don't rule from the bench?
I’m not sure, but it’s not even a partisan issue. Judges have done this for over 200 years. The Marbury case involved a justice of the peace that wasn’t getting the respect he thought he deserved because then Secretary of State James Madison was actually following the Judiciary Act of 1789. The Supremes sides with Marbury and judicial activism and review was set loose.
... so, the question is: Who is Trump's Deep State?
The Heritage Foundation?
Project 2025?
The John Birch Society?
How far up the pyramid does it go?
Xi has a vision of being the ruler of the world. Does Trump have this vision as well, or does he just plan on sharing the stage with other world leaders?
Where is the John Birch Society presently having meetings or membership drives?? Trump wishes to return the country from the state that the Joebombo criminal cabal left it in. It is in all our interests to end foreign wars and end gov spending that feeds corruption or corruption that feeds at the .gov trough. Clearer now?
One could argue that Trump is engaging in a form of censorship, but as you imply, every obstacle removed potentially allows greater efficiency.
I saw where The John Birch Society was listed as a sponsor on The Heritage Foundation or the Project 2025 website. It appears that it has since been removed.
The efficiency is impressive, and it is hard to imagine that it is solely being generated within the Trump administration. I suspect that Trump reviews and cherry picks ideas from The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 (just like "Joe Biden" utilized the CFR); but as Ritter claims, MAGA is DJT's agenda.
Politico is state funded media, like NPR & PBS, pretty much worthless trash bent so far to the left they are communist. But it is funny that mention of John Birch Society on the Heritage Foundation website was rubbed out.
Bibi was a spiritual son of the Habad Rebbe. Trump went to a memorial a few years ago and wore a kippah. Has he become a son as well? Thus the younger brother of Bibi?
My read is that Trump may capitalize on Bibi's carnage, but he has other plans, and will not hesitate to ditch Bibi if he doesn't accommodate Trump's agenda.
Trump is re-designing the world, the entire geo-political situation. He wants the USA to run North America, to control the Northwest passage. To have the dream of NAFTA, USMCA, ie a North American economic union. That is to counter the Russo-European union that is coming ( just watch Germany after their right wing election) and the Eastern Asia union coming under Chinese leadership. The world is moving toward a tri-lateral division and IMHO, Trump agrees with it. Where is the ME going to end up? Or Africa and S. America? China is already investing big time everywhere, and Trump will counter this everywhere he can, starting with Panama and Gaza.
The simple logic is that all DJT needs to do is focus on MAGA, and everything he touches will contribute to MAGA.
You comment about a North American economic union. How does a partnership with India, Israel, or Ukraine, fit into a North American economic union? The common denominator is that they will all contribute to MAGA.
As Ritter contends in yesterdays discussion with Judge Nap, Trump is interested in forming a partnership with other nations that will embrace his MAGA agenda. Many are taking a stand, and Trump will view them as either an enemy, or the competition.
The Jews want to be the leading nation on Earth - the only real one. The UN type Globalists don't like that. Nor do the Muslims. Nor do the Russians. Nor do the Chinese who think every bit as highly of themselves as the Jews do of themselves. The Chinese bid fair to be able to stop them even if they can't come out on top themselves. They are now allied with the Russians.
Extraordinary how much our world now looks like Orwell's 1984 and his Oceania, Eurasia, and East Asia.
North America, Russo-Europe and East Asia. All the others are going to align with the one offering the best deal. Resources and manufacturing will determine the winner. Hence MAGA and Trump, who foresees it.
And BTW, people are going to go where the best deal is for them, so today’s world structure is soon to be changed significantly.
Sino-Russia or Russo-China will not last long. It exists now as a force to tear down the USA’s predominance, AKA BRICS+. Trump is, IMHO, driving us in the direction of the Tri-partite world.
CBS (Complete Bull 💩) continues to be a leader in the suicide of the left. Long after all rational beings have realized that the left is dishonest, intolerant and incompetent, CBS continues the facade of believing they have relevance in the world of media. It’s becoming so silly that most of these self anointed elites are increasingly viewed as comic book characters.
More importantly, as JK points out, the sledge hammer of disclosure, prosecution and incarceration looms over the heads of many left wing miscreants. Get your popcorn 🍿 now and be ready for the premiers of the Kash Patel Show, the Dan Bongino Show and the Pam Bondi Show. Don’t forget about the upcoming episodes of the hit Elon Musk Show. Who let the DOGEs out? This will be glorious.
And still, there are millions who tune in to watch this worthless tripe. At least I can say I am not one of them. I have never wasted a single second of my life watching 60 Minutes. I am proud of that achievement.
I predict not a single one of these fuckers will be incarcerated. I also predict that every one of those Congress critters who entered Congress as pre-school teachers and baristas but now are worth millions will keep every ill-earned cent and will still keep their retirement benefits. Sorry. I've been black pilled for too long.
I've listened to snippets of Mr. Bongino. I always liked what I heard from him. Will he deliver now that he has power? That is yet to be seen.
I’m with you on the NON - prosecution…. Some type of “blow up” distraction will happen (9-11 style that made all USA citizens forget Rumsfelds announcement of “lost trillions” in the Pentagon) ……something! Just not sure what!!!
Shock and awe, just to knock them down a peg or two. Trump’s Troops need a media outlet that is neutrally biased or even biased Right. Then they must weed out the Left biased judiciary at the federal and state level. They can start in Arizona.
JHK, the proof will be in the pudding...The past attempts at rendering justice against the Washington DC crew has always resulted in a big fat goose egg...When the DOGE activities result in legitimate prosecutions people may start to believe...but for now everything is Hot Air...The bitterness that so many Americans feel toward Congress and those who have become multimillionaires is at a high level...but in the famous words of Larry Holmes (who invested his winnings) the best way to hurt someone who is Rich is to make them poor again...It's not just about the large amounts of money but it will be about making these people (if guilty) Poor again...
To imprison them makes them wards of the taxpayers. I have done nothing to be charged taxes for the sustenance of these evildoers. Nothing. Prison punishes those who must pay to maintain the prisons. Take everything from them, push them out on the streets and let them figure it out like the rest of us have to.
I'm against imprisonment because it punishes the taxpayers. If imprisonment is a penalty then they need to bring back the chain gangs and make these people pave roads, dig ditches, break rocks, sort garbage and other such tasks that are unpleasant but need to be done. Prisons punish innocent people by taking their money to support and sustain those who do not deserve to be supported or sustained.
I also support hangings for those who have committed treason.
I do think though that taking all of their money, their wealth, their possessions and making them live on the streets would be a satisfying punishment.
Unfortunately, the justifiable anger many Americans feel toward the deep state is offset to some degree by the irrational hatred several other Americans have for Donald Trump.
I commend the actions being taken by the Trump Administration, even knowing there is some collateral damage. The patient is very ill, and the tainted parts must be removed, even at the cost nearby decent tissue.
However, as an objective observer of reality, I can see that's it's just a matter of time before the Zionist Project of Greater Israel (and the crimes thereof, always conveniently painted out of the news landscape), a smoldering fire of America's making, becomes a raging fire that consumes the Trump Administration, and devours and destroys the USA (or, if you prefer, to be more precise, RAPIDLY accelerates the USA's relative decline as a world power into an epic unraveling, which in conjunction with our hollowed-out, debt-ridden economy, upends our country).
Still, I am enjoying the squealing cries of the establishment mainstream media for now, while it lasts.
"However, as an objective observer of reality, I can see that's it's just a matter of time before the Zionist Project of Greater Israel (and the crimes thereof, always conveniently painted out of the news landscape), a smoldering fire of America's making, becomes a raging fire that consumes the Trump Administration, and devours and destroys the USA (or, if you prefer, to be more precise, RAPIDLY accelerates the USA's relative decline as a world power into an epic unraveling, which in conjunction with our hollowed-out, debt-ridden economy, upends our country)." ~ SocratesDetroit
That is the obvious conclusion, but given that which has transpired over the last 30 days, I wouldn't bet on it. Open your mind to other perspectives.
@ian2364 Believe me, I am open. President Trump is already doing quite a bit of good, and I am pleasantly surprised by some of it.
While it appears to me that President Trump is not going to reel in Israel, I would not be surprised if he does reel them in.
If anyone can do it, Trump can. He recognizes war in general is a loser for the US, as well as the American people. Also, there is nothing in it for him. Trump's "friend of Israel" credentials are good, just as Nixon's "anti-Communist" ones were when Nixon reached out to MAO's Red China.
Against that, however, we must weigh the fact there have been attempts on Trump's life. Israel has assassinated several people outside Israel. The last US President who did not kow-tow to Isreal and who was concerned about Israel acquiring nuclear weapons was gunned down in Dallas in 1963, and his assassination has never solved, was it?
Mr. Trump is a smart man and can connect the dots.
Problem is, unless Israel is reeled in, Israel will drive events and spark a war with Iran. That will draw other players in, not because they care about Palestinians, but because they have their own interests in Iran, and the greater region. The US has a lot to lose. Besides the likely deaths of many civilians in Iran and elsewhere, I fear the war Israel is going to draw the US into will rhyme with the Russo-Japanese war, 1904-05. At Tsu Shima, the Japanese sank the Russian Fleet, defeated Russia. This changed the balance of power in the Pacific. FIRST time an Asian nation defeated a white, European power. The defeat fanned the flames of discontent and radicalism, contributing to the Russian Revolution. Warfare has changed--our DoD is in business to enrich people, our govt is bought and paid for, complacent like Imperial RUSSIA. History rhymes. No one can predict the future. however, I never imagined that one day Pravda and the NY Times would reverse roles, that our government and news would lie about COVID and mRNA injections, and more
Thats my (TWENTY) two cents.
(Since Carter "bought" Egypt at Camp David and later on the defeat of Syria by Israel in 1981-82, and the overthrow of (former CIA contact) Saddam Hussein of Iraq, the US has largely controlled the Middle East-- except Iran (which the US DID control 1953-74, when the Shah, our "ally" led the charge for OPEC to quadruple) the price of crude. Anything less than clear victory will be a defeat. A tie will be a defeat. Leveling Iran without prevailing, the likely outcome, will be a defeat. A disruption in oil will be a defeat)
The Shah also initiated Iran's nuke program in 1971...)
View the various issues from the perspective that Trump is managing the hands he has been dealt, with a sincere focus on MAGA, and if he is successful he will have satisfied all his wants and needs, and potentially the wants and needs of the majority of world leaders and their citizens; and in the events where he is not, he will at least have promoted an environment where a moral group of people have the opportunity to treat each other with dignity and respect.
What would satisfy the wants and needs of the Palestinians? Would peace and economic prosperity be the primary needs? Could a moral environment serve as compensation for the animosity?
Ritter poses the question: Why would Trump talk to Putin about Gaza? ... and he goes on to explain that Russia started a process that brings 14 Palestinian factions together, including Hamas, to talk about what a post Palestinian government in Gaza would look like that wasn't called Hamas, but that had Hamas representation; and then China was informed, and requested to be included. And then Ritter goes on to explain that in Trump's mind, Bibi had the opportunity to deal with Hamas and he failed, so in Trump mind, he views the situation as his to deal with it as he sees fit (Trump is starting with a clean slate. There is no solution for the crimes of past generations.).
Trump is proposing solutions that satisfy the STATED needs of the various parties, and if unacceptable, then they can counter with their proposal. And for anyone who wants to be unreasonable, Ritter essentially points out that they will self identify as being an enemy of humanity, and provides examples of how they will be dealt with (for those that have an open mind and are able to glean information, I would suggest that this is an important discussion to view).
In regard to another assassination attempt, I would agree that he has some significant enemies, but as you imply, and we have seen, "Mr. Trump is a smart man and can connect the dots.", and in his MAGA endeavor, I would suggest that he (potentially) has the moral high ground. The trick will be to get his MAGA endeavor to take root so that it will succeed no matter his standing, and in this regard, it appears that he is surrounding himself with people who will defend and fight for his cause. Trump also appears to be having success in bringing primary world leaders to embrace his MAGA agenda.
War by military means is obsolete as Ukraine and Gaza is showing. It has been that way since Viet Nam.
Rockets, guns, planes, tanks are all being compromised by remote war, drones especially.
The PTB in the world hate it. They can no longer dictate policy to the under developed. They cannot even fight amongst themselves. Oh my, what to do?
Trade is the “war” of the future. Economic strength will be the measure of power. The MIC is going to evolve into a high tech posture as the world divides into three power groups.
Back up a moment. Why war? Why do countries or even tribes legalize murder with each other? When the American Indians inhabited the North American continent, long before Columbus discovered them, they went to war continuously. The history of the Hebrew people is continuous warfare. American history is replete with war, every twenty years, every generation.
Why? Why do people WANT to kill each other? IMHO, it is inherent to the species. Look at what is going on now. The Left sits back telling us how they are for the Little Guy, to be benevolent to the masses, looking out for Joe Average. Ha! They are bloodthirsty asshats like everyone else. Look at the violence of boxing, of football where we live, in our own minds, the violence in our hearts.
Folks, how many presidents have made the elimination of war as a major point of his legacy? One!
You mention MAD as a way to eliminate war. War will not be eliminated until it is removed from the hearts and minds of the human race. Just the fact that our study of history is based on the exploits and victories of wars shows where our hearts are today.
And hypocritical Leftists are NOT the answer. Again, they are part of the problem, not the solution.
One more, somehow a people must be able to control the evil of their government. Under test right now is if the people of the USA have enough gusto to control the Deep State and that the balance of power of the Constitution will continue to work under onslaught from the Deep State.
"I saw how, over time, this dynamic leads to a very small percent- age of the population gaining and controlling exceptionally large percentages of the total wealth and power, then becoming overextended, and then encountering bad times, which hurt those least wealthy and least powerful the hardest, which then leads to conflicts that produce revolutions and/or civil wars. When these conflicts are over, a new world order is created, and the cycle begins again."
That is the Fourth Turning thesis. It does not explain why the answer to unresolved differences between families, clans, tribes or nations seems to inevitable legal murder. Is it something, the violence, in man’s psyche, unavoidable. Again, the biggest joke is that the Left has a monopoly on empathy, their emotional bent leads to increased violence.
Greek clarity until your last sentence. The Golem is being given a bath and some good meals after generations of abuse. Once strong (young White guys are already streaming back into the military), what use will our strength be put to? Something to our own benefit? Golems by definition have no interests or rights.
I'm in favor a Constitutional amendment prohibiting the use of US military abroad. We should live within our own borders, and defend only our own borders. America occupies enough of the earth that this is practical.
Lugh, the more I study the Bible and try to imagine God, the more I am convinced He is a Mega-intelligence from somewhere else in the universe or another universe. Humans know so little about just about anything. God is a messenger of the Light, the definition of GOOD, the standard against which we are measured. The creator of this Universe. The presence of God is Good, the absence of God is evil. The presence of God gives Plenty and peace, the absence of God gives want, war, disease and all the manifestations of evil.
Man is continuously under surveillance by God, individually and as groups. Those found wanting do not last long.
Revelation sure sounds like a future Sodom and Gomorrah, doesn't it. God sent us a gift 2000 years ago, Himself in the form of a Man, a mentor who tried to explain what He wants of Mankind. The definition of Good. He does not want what we think good is, He has told us what good is. I have bad news for the folks who think that Yahweh of the Old Testament has changed with the advent of Jesus Christ. Revelation says otherwise, Jesus will return, judging the people of Earth for their goodness. He will destroy "The Whore Babylon", Satan and His followers, and all others that counter His demands on the humans of Earth. Sodom and Gomorrah is a brushfire in comparison to what is coming. BTW, a symbolic 440000 of the Jews will be saved from the Fires, according to John's prophesy. God will remember His people.
The obvious conclusion is that you're conflating Zionism w anti-Semitism. You're the one that needs to open your mind and see the horrors created by Hamas. Do some real research.
Well put. I'm almost dancing in the street with the Bongino appointment, but waiting for the arrest of the murderers of Corey Comperatore, Gary Webb, Michael Hastings et al. The deeper deep state (not the bureaucrats) seems to be lurking, untouched.
Stop conflating Zionism w anti-Semitism bc we know your intention is the same. Instead try and focus on the horrific barbarism of Hamas. Apparently you've read no reports coming back from sources not Israeli, of their atrocities. Israel is one tiny country surrounded by over 50 Arabic and NONE OF THEM WANT THE HAMAS TERRORISTS OR IMMIGRANTS IN THEIR COUNTRIES. THEY USE ISLAM AS A FRONT. GET REAL.
The last people who should profit from the downfall of the wicked are the lawyers. I have a better idea; let's offer the guilty a deal. Forfeit your assets to pay down the national debt you voted for, and we won't put you in prison. They can be doled out the average income of Americans each year and see how they survive on that. Or better yet, the poverty level.
"When the DOGE activities result in legitimate prosecutions people may start to believe"
You described me perfectly. When I see these dogs finally being stripped of their wealth and the wealth returned to the taxpayers in the form of refund checks, when I see them being perp walked into detention centers, when I read about them suffering beatings in prison, then, maybe then, will I start to believe.
I appreciate JHK's writings but read them with a slight apprehension that nothing is going to be done, that this is all fluff. Or like you say, "hot air."
I have nothing but disdain, loathing and contempt for people who run for Congress or any other political office. The very fact that they "want" to be there tells me all I need to know about that individual.
With too many Demoncraps and other lowlife types calling for violence against Musk and basically any other person threatening their grifting and even treason, I hope security has been tightened up around President Trump and all that are serving him. These creepy-crawlies in general do not have the balls to attack, but they do have their storm troopers, antifa and blm, to do their dirty work. If that fails, the same people who set up the two attempted assassinations of President Trump can be called on again to do their dirty work. These are desperate outlaws posing as good citizens and must be outed as the corrupt people they are. In the meantime, stay locked and loaded for any surprises the Demoncraps may be planning.
Order them be taken into custody for promoting violence it is after all illegal.
With warrant in hand kick down their door at 3 am and arrest them publicly with media in hand.
Warrant to include seizing all electronic devices capable of communication right up to some of these new refrigerators and anything capable of storing data.
Then put them on trial and when found guilty they should be sentenced to six months in jail and when out community service for at least one thousand hours picking up trash on the side of the road.
Not punishment enough, Ben. We need to bring back hard labor camps where these people bust open rocks for 10-12 hours a day for 6 months. That'll get them thinking after the first offense.
But public humiliation is most of these people would rather slit their wrists than have the media show up as they are arrested and then after jail time be forced to pick up trash on the side of the road for 1,000 man hours.
Find out who fired the shot that killed Corey Comperatore and it will all unravel. The bullet, the weapon and the shooter will lead right to the top. The destruction of the evidence will lead right to the top. No Way Out.
When I learned of Dan Bongino becoming FBI Deputy Director, the only thing I could think of to say was, "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Same with Joy Reid getting pink-slipped. It appears that the Facebook wine-aunts will have material to keep them shrieking for months if not years.
A new awakening is happening in America right before our eyes . Some will gasp in horror as they learn of the betrayals of our political leaders + department heads ( FBI-CIA-DHS-NIH -DoE-IRS) along with a lot of other people who willingly participated in deceiving the American people ! RETRIBUTION WILL BE THE CRY OF THE DAY !
Beautifully stated, Justin. And to make it even more wonderful, we now have sitting at the Resolute Deck a man who doesn't know the meaning of the word deceit. America, re-greatened!
Yes, John. Most all of his female Cabinet appointees and his female attorneys are smoke shows. I used to think he was just trolling the left, what with their frumpy cat-lady, box-wine drinking women, or rabid lesbian females, but I think he's just following his biological imperative.
He's obviously a high-testosterone male. There are a few of us left. I for one, will not miss one Tulsi Gabbard press conference, and honestly, would rather see her surfing than see Trump playing golf, but that's just me.
Ron, remember one thing about Tulsi and RFKJ, they both want revenge against the Ult-Left Wokesters for stealing their party. Attitude will be huge in the next year. RFKJ is talking about looking at the big picture with childhood vaccinations, what are they actually doing to kids across the board. Easily said, how many kids are being “sacrificed” with side effects “for the public good”.
I am hoping that his modus operandi is to uncover the lies that Medicine and the government have dropped on us.
Let me watch Kristi Noem go on ICE raids in those tight blue jeans any day, any time. Damn that woman is fine. Tulsi ain't bad either. Pam Bondi she's on that list too. Conservative women always look better than the angry "man hating" leftist bitch. Who was that conservative floozy from Colorado that got caught on tape letting her date fondle her breasts after getting kicked out of a theater?
Check out two of DJT's lawyers, Alina Habba and Ashleigh Merchant, both Florida Girls like Pam Bondi (one of his former lawyers). All else being equal, who wants to sit in court all day with a 5, why not a 10? Makes sense to me.
Then we have something on which we can agree. I’d rather see almost anything than a Trump press conference, or a Trump anything. If he’s genuinely manly, I’m the starting point guard for the Miami Heat. A real man doesn’t go into little name-calling tantrums whenever he’s criticized, or, less than that, disagreed with. Trump is a tragically neglected/bullied child in the body of a man whose idea of exercise is putting his golf cart into gear. He’s a fraud in every way a person can be.
The women of the left are much hotter than their Nazi-lite counteraparts, Ron. I know this from experience. :-)
AOC isn't bad looking and she has a terrific figure. Then she smiles and shows off those horse teeth. As long as she keeps the smile under control she's easy on the eyes. Can't think of any others, though. Patty Murray? Good God! Liz Warren? Maybe 30 years ago. Liz Cheney? She'd make a good Miss Piggy for a real life muppets movie (there's an idea for you Disney!).
CP - try to find the Alex Stein (comedian) You Tube video with AOC, his "Favorite Big-Booty Latina". It's live in DC - hysterical - she goes berserk on him when he calls her that.
LOL! Love the visual of her popping off a bottle cap with those glistening, large, shiny can openers of hers!
So true. She's an idiot and has no business being in any leadership position........anywhere. Not that I consider the fuckers in Congress to be leaders of anything but their own carnal desires, but, many there be that do consider them leaders.
Want to know how a REAL MAN acts? Go on over to YouTube and grab yourself a few clips of Sleepy Joe.
And those leftist hotties - couldn't agree more! Big Mike, Fauxcahontas, the Hildebeast, Kackles, Maddow, Joyless Reid... Mmmm mmmm! Toss em all into a pool filled with whipped cream and gimme a couple jugs o' rot gut - or maybe just a hammer to the old brain pan (the way Nancy Pelosi's old man enjoys it).
Ooh, some Biden-bashing, as though I praised him. My guess is that your idea of a good time is watching Fox & Friends with a big tube of K-Y jelly and a roll of paper towels, Blackbird. Am I warm? As for the women you name, none is under 60. I’ll agree that women, like men, generally look a lot better in their early thirties, than in their 60s, but what exactly have you demonstrated, other than that you’re a moron. And the thing about Mr. Pelosi having been attached with a hammer? Class, Blackbird. Real class. My guess is the sight of brown-skinned children being separated from their parents makes you reach for the K-Y.
And what of the $36 trillion debt burden? America, re-greatened? Maybe. But until we figure out the finances, how to cut spending, and work on bringing this hard to understand debt burden down, I don't know how America can be great again.
Yeah, real smart JM. Tax the heck out of the entrepenuerism elements of society so we can have slower growth in the economy. Tax the rich, you sound so Leftist. Tax the rich and re-distribute to the poor, the key to destroying any nation. Your socialistic bent will destroy America, as socialism has destroyed every nation it has been incorporated into. The Leftist slant, you advocate is Anti-American as the nation’s people are starting to notice. Trump won by a large margin, get used to it. As the country climbs out of the Leftist cesspool, MAGA will dominate the future.
I might as well be trying to reason with a not-very-bright 9-year-old (are you ears burning, Mr. Trump?). You’re not worth any more of my attention, JohnAZ.
Thinkin’ away, JohnAZ. Thinking that you’re characteristically wrong on a couple of key points. Trump won by a whopping 1.6 percent, which you’d know if, instead of saying, “Yup,” when he ludicrously describes his victory as a landslide, you actually did some reading. Also, I’m sure the billioinaire class is grateful for your support, and do see your point that entrepreneurship would surely disappear if Jeff Bezos could afford only one $500 million yacht rather than three in different colors.
How about the fact that the American middle class, which I’m going to guess includes you, as well as me, never had it so good materially as during the Eisenhower years, when the very rich were taxed at up to 91 percent?
What are your three favorite things about oligarchies, JohnAZ?
Do you ever see those studies about the happiest countries on earth, JohnAZ? Do you happen to notice that the Scandinavian socialist democracies are ALWAYS at the top of the list? The rate of taxation is high, and the quality of their social services extraordinary. But you seem to be one of those who thinks that the un- and underinsured should STFU if providing universal healthcare might require Jamie Dimon to own fewer islands.
Leftists like you just do not get it. The country is broke! Spend, spend, spend that is all you understand. Tax the rich so that the government can spend some more, buy more votes, increase the debt and deficit. You just do not care, you do not understand what $36 trillion dollars of governmental debt means. You are Anti-American, like the rest of the Left is. Continuing the ways of the Left, of Biden, Clinton, Jeffries, in their anti-austerity drive is a guarantee of the end of this country.
Tell us something, JM, what motivates you to be a part of the destruction? Do you honestly believe we are better off allowing drugs, illegals, spending, increased taxation, DEI, Woke, “protests”, MIC control, foreign wars, and all forms of government domination to continue as they were during the last 40 years? Do you actually believe that moving the manufacturing economy to Asia was a great idea, as Obama did?
Please defend your attitudes about everything mentioned, do you actually believe the shit being handed out by the Anti-Trumpers? It is very obvious that you just do not understand the Big Picture of the on-coming collapse of the world order and the USA itself. I would hate to see the country follow your lead, right into the shitter.
BTW, how about a primer of what you do believe in, without your obvious TDS? How would you handle the problems that Trump et al faces today? Are you a gimme, that thinks that the government is an infinite source of capital to supply the gimme psyche of the Left? If so, like the government, you are the problem, not the solution.
Now that I have exploded my spleen at you, here goes.
I am self-made, we started in 1968 in the Navy, making less than $200/month. We both retired, financially independent, and worked our butts off for forty years. My wife handled the BS of the legal profession and I was in the Navy, engineering and 17 years of being a night time RN. We worked for everything we got. So yeah, anyone who made their fortunes, deserves their fortunes. Most contribute voluntary fortunes to charity and unfortunately politics. Musk, Bezos et al should do with their fortunes exactly what they want. Your attitudes about smacks of envy and gimme bitterness. Instead of blaming them, maybe you should look within and ask yourself, why am I not one of them? Each started with almost nothing and became wealthy due to supplying something to society that society wanted.
Progressive income tax, I agree with you based on the fact that higher incomes use more public resources and should contribute more. Right now though, the upper 1% pay more taxes than the bottom 50%, that is a fact Leftists do not want to talk about.
I do not believe in oligarchies like you do.
Hahaha, the happiest countries on earth, that is a joke. The most gimme countries that are finding out that being confronted by an onslaught of “hungrier” immigrants that do not like being criminalized by them. Happiest, my foot. Did you ever read Green Alba on the old format? Not so happy with the non-responsive NHS. Universal healthcare is a joke, don’t you realize that all the complaints about our health care today stem from the changes the Dems have made pushing us toward socialized medicine. You know who will be very affected by the USA going socialized? The Canadians that do not want to wait months and years to get healthcare for voluntary care and opt for the responsiveness of the USA system.
And 1.6% represented a few million votes in the popular vote and ALL the important “purple” states, including mine. Your gang is still cleaning up the tears left behind.
At the current moment half of America is slowly recovering from a bout of cognitive dissonance.
It will soon go long term and some if not many may never fully recover. Especially in the hardest hit areas of Academia and publicly funded research.
There could be a new niche market for first responders and of course big pharma for de-programming aids. Maybe home therapy robots or genetically engineered service animals.
Shame Ronald, shame... What's rayciss is your attempted appropriation of the beautiful language of African-american english.
Actually, we are (undeservedly) blessed with no less than six distinct, beautiful, African-american languages in this evil rayciss country. (Hat tip to the legendary sage Ta-Nehisi Coates for that precious morsel of knowledge.)
But it was a joy to see Reid go down. (I don't even watch TV and I know what she is.)
And Dan Bongino?! I was already impressed listening to Kash Patel - didn't expect to be, but was. But Dan Bongino? FBI? Wow.
Well if Trump's gonna hire a guy like Bongino, I have a few more suggestions: Jeffrey Sachs, Douglas McGregor, Scott Ritter, Katherine Austin Fitts... And more...
Maybe Trump 2.0 will be different than the first version. Let's see "DOGE" take down some Republicans - they have played their role in destroying this country too.
I could even see Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize - if he plays his cards right. (Mr. Trump, don't know how? Give me a call - Elon has my number.)
Yeah, giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize - for what? for not being Bush?
And that's why - even if he doesn't fuck up in the middle east, and I'm sure he will - Trump will never get the Nobel Peace Prize (unless he gives me a call of course). It's because he is the Golden Golem of Gruesome and everyone else gets extra points just for not being him.
Bird - always enjoy your input. BTW, I did read your comment weeks back but dropped the ball on responding. Sorry.
Ebonics you mean, one of Jim's most salient points - said many times over the years - nothing has held blacks back more than failure to teach and learn command of the Queen's English. True dat. (appropriated)
"I did read your comment weeks back..." Yes, our conversations tend to veer off-topic and transcend threads.
"...nothing has held blacks back more than failure to teach and learn command of the Queen's English." That and the notion that they deserve to be given what anyone else would have to work for.
They have had their minds captured by the leftists intent on destroying civilization. The same is true for one-third to one-half the white population in this country too. And many of those brainwashed whites think that aping black culture is superior to tired old (articulate) white culture. Whoever is behind this, congratulations, you have almost completely destroyed the United States.
Dude, c'mon. You're missing the black and white, the common denominator. Dan is a hardcore Zionist, Doug isn't. Scott is a vehement anti-Zionist. Poor Kash said, Israel is our first priority. Two fold MIGA. Israeli nationalism to benefit his own Indian people?
I'll say this: You seldom miss the mark so greatly.
Thought I'd get you to bite. Go back and look at my recommendations. You've already approved Scott and Douglas.
Yes, adherence to Zionism seems to be a prerequisite for a position in the Trump administration. And that is why I think this big beautiful balloon of hope and change will ultimately come crashing down in an apocalyptic war with Iran.
We've got a lot of trash to take out. If the garbageman is in a different cult than I am (alas, my cult is too insignificant to grab the levers of power), I'll deal with it as long as he picks up the trash and puts it where it belongs.
By the way, I didn't realize Dan Bongino was a hard-core Zionist - should have mentioned that in my initial response. Point Jars. I'll have to look into that. Thanks
Love them, Hold on Loosely a favorite. Jeff Carlisi an original guitar player with Donnie's band, lives about a mile away from me. He keeps a pretty low profile. He gave my brother an old polaroid picture of the boys in a place in Jax he called the "Hell Hole" - I think where they used to practice. Classic, has most members of Skynyrd - Ronnie with a pistol tucked in his waistband, for "killing snakes". DM me with a number if you want and I'll text you a copy.
Seems the folks preaching "Diversity" ultimately want a lack of diversity with "all the colors bleeding into one"* (*Thank you globalist demagogue Bono aka Melinda Gates)
(Seriously, Duck-duck-go photos of Bono and Ms. Gates. Take those rose-colored glasses off Bono and put them on Ms. Gates. Shave Bono and let Melinda's stubble grow out. See? Just like Pat Sajak/Dan Quayle. Ever see them together? No.)
I'm all for diversity. We need to stop imposing ourselves on the rest of the world, and we need to stop importing their trash.
The sarc tag "/s" is kinda like using your turn signal on an empty road - you don't do that do you? Didn't think so. If readers don't know when I'm being sarcastic, then they need to read more of my rants.
You kidding me? I don't even use my turn signal on an 8-lane divided highway, I just do what I call the "nigga sweep" - drift across all 4 lanes to hit an exit. My boys said, "What did he just say?!" - they never heard the expression before.
The tag was just for Janos - he didn't pick up on it above.
No, that is my perspective. I really believe what I write and deeply care about these issues. Is that bad? As if humor trumps and being "cool" trumps caring and national survival?
Obviously I'm not always serious and I do love humor, both laughing and making people laugh.
Jars, I have no doubt you mean what you write. And I respect your pursuit of ideological purity - Quixotic though it may be. Do what (you think) is right, even if success appears impossible - I think that's a good policy.
But when you're down in the rhetorical trenches, subtleties sometimes fly unappreciated over your head. I was not suggesting you change your ways. I was just making an observation - and ok, maybe provoking you a bit. But ya gotta admit, those commies don't have a sense of humor.
Naw, I just don't think the subtleties are relevant when our people face extinction.
I grieve that neither you or Dys have any thing you love beyond yourselves in this world, thus you laugh in despair.
Hopefully you both have a spiritual life of some kind. Pantheism or worship of Nature (not Prakriti (Sk) or Cosmic Nature) is the usual recourse. It's something to be sure.
Gotta disagree with you about subtleties, especially in these proto-apocalyptic times. Those subtleties can go a long way toward evening your odds vs. the house.
I don't know whose head you are in, but it isn't mine. If you read my writing, rather than looking for points to argue, you would realize that I am such a spiritual being that I barely have one foot in the material world.
There is starting to be a backlash in the form of defamation suits against the Leftist asshats in the media. Then they must View is going away and Big Mouth, nasty individuals are getting sued. Defamation is hopefully going to enter politics, clobbering those that think they can lie and get away with it.
Okay, how about all the BS Law-fare aimed at Trump over the last four years. Has it caused him financial harm? How about the miraculous 20 minute affair in the woman’s dressing room? How about DAs inventing laws to accost him with. How about the made-up BS Jack Smith had to make up to try to tear him down?
I am very pleased that finally a majority of the American public did not buy the bullshit of the Leftist asshats.
John, I agree with you 100%. I have zero sympathy for any of them. If lined up and shot, I wouldn't lose a minute's sleep. Sounds heartless, but it's my truth. For my personal beliefs and voicing them, I've had the local machine come after me personally - a not even thinly veiled attempt at character assassination - including the local newspaper.
In my instance - no provable monetary damages, so I had no legal grounds for defamation. As you say, Trump does, and they can be proven sufficiently, I'm sure. People don't realize the extent of the cancer at the local level, with State and Federal above them, for backing. I don't give a fuck, I will never be silent and never capitulate. Ever.
^Here's^ the published letter. Had to fight the Editor to get it published. They outflanked me though. Whoever does the paper's social media, led their - then Twitter, now X - feed the very next day with my letter - trying to get pushback against me personally. This was a top-down concerted effort at the paper.
The first Tweet, also part of the set up says, "Has Ron Anselmo been arrested yet for inciting violence?" How do you think that looks to an employer, or a lender? Or anyone else who scrapes my electronic dossier? Fuck them.
It didn't say, "Has the writer...", they purposely used my name for that very reason - now a part of my record. A flat-out character assassination. I repeat. Fuck them. Over.
I checked out St. Augustine and I'm envious, it's very nice, and it would be among my choices to settle if I lived in the USA. Do I have the right town?
South-east and Northwest probably, so the coasts of North Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, maybe Virginia and the coasts of North California, Oregon, and South Washington.
Zazzy, as far as a landing spot in the US, SE or NW. The West Coast, bordered oddly enough, by the *Pacific* Ocean, particularly the areas you mention, Northern CA, OR & Southern WA, all have coastal cliffs well above sea-level, with rugged shorelines and crashing waves.
Now, on the East Coast, areas you mention, bordered by the Atlantic, all have broad, wide beaches, with adjacent topography much nearer to sea-level. Both beautiful, but different - just depends upon your coastal preference.
Not sure, but I imagine coastal Nova Scotia is much closer, meaning similar, to the Pacific NW in the US, as a function of relatively closer latitudes. What is the tidal difference (range, high to low) in Nova Scotia?
They're both nice in their own ways, but I think the Northwest Coast has less mosquitos, ticks and blackflies.
On the other hand, the water temps and broader, flatter stretches of land and beach along the Southeast Coast are also appealing. I like big waves too.
I used to live in Vancouver and have been down the coast to Los Angeles and even lived in Hollywood for a few months. (It's possible that the place we were renting went up in flames during the fires of a few weeks ago.)
I've also been to Florida as my grandparents used to have a place near Tampa. I even went upside-down for the first time ever on a rollercoaster at Bush Gardens.
How were the hurricanes last fall in your neck of the woods by the way?
Hey Zazzy, sorry we haven't caught up in a while. That's on me, I've just been busy with other stuff.
Yes, the right town. You'd love STA, and I'd love to see you here. As a matter of fact, a fair number of Canadians winter here. I met a guy two weeks ago - here for three months - from Nova Scotia, outside Halifax he said. I told him I knew you, but not certain of your locale, just Nova Scotia.
STA - a great place for a little cafe, it is magical here, oldest continually occupied city in North America, since 1565. Rich in history as a result. Supposedly one of the most haunted cities in the US, due to it's violent past.
Occupied by the Spanish, French, and English at different times, with violent periods in between. Not sure you could convince Dreamy to relocate to be a partner in the cafe here, but Stranger Bedfellows have happened. 8-)
A friend has a summer home in Le Bic, built in the late 1800's on land in her family since the mid-1600's, I believe. Beautiful, reminds me of the setting I imagined while reading Walden, by Thoreau. I could live in that kind of solitude.
How have you been? Last I went looking for you, Dreamy said something about carpentry and applying for a position at your shop?
You've read Walden? That's kind of cute. Any good? I've heard of the book and think Thoreau was an anarchist too if recalled.
But 'Le Bic'... do you mean the Island (St. Lawrence river) in Quebec or the town of the same name nearby on the shore?
Yes, I may be slowly getting into carpentry, more specifically perhaps, prefab tiny houses-- speaking of Walden. Frankly, I have mixed feelings, but do have a good associated skillset, so what the hell. You only live once. The whole tool thing-- both manual and electric-- is a bit bewildering, too, but it's slowly coming into focus.
Since I haven’t watch Lamestream news in a long time, last night while channel surfing during a break from the NBA game I clicked on 60 minutes just as Scott P was getting into his latest report. And it was a doozy. But while it was shocking to see how much he’s aged since my last viewing, the thing that hit me the hardest was the fact that many people would watch this insanity and become joyful that the “good guys” on the left side are totally in control. After all they are Democracy’s last hope against the tyranny that we all must stand up against.
Joyless Reid. What a character. I watched Ben Berquam of Real Americas Voice TV encounter her on the street and wanting to stir some s..t asked her if her at that time bleached blond hair was cultural appropriation as she had been on a bender of everything being cultural appropriation. The next day she appeared on her show with a shaved head. Way to go Ben!
"...asked her if her at that time bleached blond hair was cultural appropriation..."
Every time I hear someone screaming, "Cultural Appropriation!!" I think, "What about your straightened/bleached/died hair, your western (white peepo) clothes, the fact that you are driving a car and not eating - I assume - warthog rectum..."
She's only a footstep away from that. Her parents are African immigrants and she is a first generation. Hard to believe she finds so much wrong with her country compared to where she comes from.
Please don't become too Irrationally Exuberant, Robert. If the D-party dies, which I find highly doubtful, (the R-team has only slim majorities in both Houses), it will be replaced by something similar, maybe even more radical. The country is still 50-50. Too many people are riding in the wheelbarrow and not enough are pulling it.
There is no R team, only the MAGA team. 1/3 of the former GOP are against MAGA and like the Dems are on their heels. We still have Kentucky, Alaska and Maine in the Senate though. They need to be primaried, and soon.
The formation of the next generation of political parties should be interesting. IMHO, many moderate Dems are going to join RFKJ and Tulsi in the MAGA party. Many nutty RINO types are going to join the Ult-Left. Already underway.
Yeah, known as independents. People who do not understand enough about current events to have a credo. They want to vote for the best candidate, without realizing that party affiliation dominates what candidates stand for.
Yeah, that is a concept that many on these threads don't seem to grasp. The Republican majorities are super thin. Trumps wins in the swing states were super thin. Half the Country are still Democrats and still supporting Democrat causes. My in-laws, gun carrying, abortion hating Democrats, agree.
Trump has only one full year to get his agenda passed. Next year the entire House and 1/3rd of the Senate will be spending their time running for reelection. If he doesn't retain his majorities, it will be like Nancy Pelosi redux, with a sham impeachment thrown in. The Framers surely never realized that Congress would get so dysfunctional. One way to make it better, and stop this endless campaigning, would be to change House terms to 4 years to coincide with the Presidential election.
The curse of being born in the wrong century... *sigh...*
Philadelphia, 1787
"The Chair recognizes the scofflaw from Michigan..."
("Michigan? Is there such a place?" "I think it's somewhere in Penn's Sylvania..." "No it's not, it's in Can-tuck-ee." "Who let that guy in here?!")
"Mr. Madison, assembled grandees, I fear that if we schedule regular elections, and allow people to run for office, we will undoubtedly see the formation of political parties - a circumstance all of us wish to avoid, if I understand correctly.
"Regularly scheduled elections - particularly for the Chief Executive - will become drawn-out circuses lasting a year or more, preventing the government from accomplishing anything, and leaving the candidates beholden to their financiers.
"First, let's agree there will be no "universal suffrage". Most people - especially in the future - don't have the intelligence to manage their own affairs, let alone make decisions for a nation. Of course we won't interfere with them as they fuck up their own lives. We just fought a brutal war to guarantee the right to be wrong.
"Second, electors will have to pass a test - before each election. We get old or lazy and forget stuff. That's fine, just stay away from the voting booth when that happens. And forget your elitist property ownership qualification. In the future owning property will be the domain of only the super rich - like you guys. No, this test will test your knowledge of our political system, as well as assess your overall intelligence.
"The electors of a township (for example) will choose who will be the government of the township. This would most likely be another elector from the township - but not necessarily. (Yes, I'm thinking kinda Holy Roman Empire style here.) Of course said representative has to be a US citizen, and an elector somewhere. If said official is a disappointment, the electors will vote on whether to replace him. And if they vote in favor, once again they will choose a representative.
"Electors from the townships within the county choose who will be county government. And it scales up from there. Counties to state. State to Federal.
"No regularly scheduled elections. No candidates. No political parties. Whaddya think?"
Madison: "Maybe we made a mistake. Pickering, get on the phone with Billy Pitt. Let's see if Old Blighty will have us back."
Erdogan said Democracy is a bus. You get off at your stop. We now have the Elector of Hanover in office. No need for more elections until he passes - unless he passes it on to Don Jr. Then we're set!
Stop being so ideologically serious. I was just jesting. All lies in jest as Simon and Garfunkel said.
I've already admitted your system is the best in terms of how to vote. Perhaps we need a Peace King and a War King or Presidents if you like. A bit of Fascism must be there if your Republic would last. No elections for the duration of the War or Crisis.
Trying to flip the table on me Jars? I'd expect no less...
No Peace King/War King duality. When I'm runnin' this shit show - errr, I mean once the electoral system I have described is in-place and moral, qualified folks are running the show - war will go extinct. Hopefully I - I mean they - won't have to kill too many people to keep the peace...
Fascism? Like the government saying to corporations, "No, you can't do stupid shit like that" - like offshoring industry to increase profits, selling advanced technology to competitors, etc? Hell yeah. Martial and imperial? You're pissin' up the wrong tree buddy.
Trump’s charter? How to convince 48% of the American people that their futures depend on themselves and not the government. To the gimme class, it is an anathema. The Leftist Black leadership is having a giant conniption fit right now because Blacks are learning this lesson and their “leaders” are losing control. FINALLY!!!!!
The 9 Horsemen of the Blob Apocalypse - Trump, JD, Kash, RFKJ, Tulsi, Pam, Pete, Elon, and now Dan. Damn, this is going to be good - even if there are some ups and downs. May truth and justice prevail to save this Republic.
Gotta admit I'm enjoying the sequel more than the original, but it's still very early in the game. Most of what we have are words. As with "Covid", let's wait and see what the long-term (that's more than 2 weeks folks) effects are.
it was quite touching how deranged "Democrats" have been championing these agencies ever since...2016. Nothing could possibly be wrong with them; they seem to be deranged enough to double down, until at some point they'll have to eat "humble pie", as we say in the UK. But their heads will be spinning if there's any remaining grey matter.
One year ago, could anyone have thought that Kash Patel would be FBI Director and Dan Bongino would be his Deputy Director?
Also heard that Kash Patel is taking over the ATF as well as FBI.
Interim Director
Interim Director Kash Patel should obliterate the ATF as his first act.
02/24/25: Perfect. Fold what's left of it into the FBI.
Like someone said, ATF should be a convenience store, not a government agency. Hopefully it was given to him to absorb then dissolve it, much like Department of Education is (hopefully) going to be dismantled.
Nope. Gonna miss his show though.
I think/hope they have a good replacement for him in the interim.
Please no one that will just dissolve the show into a mess. There are only a few people I believe that can replace him.... that I would respect, otherwise I will be very angry.
No, I don't think so. He's known about this for a while I think. He has a new 6pm (EST?) show coming up, and he said 'soon', like this week and has hinted at other offerings. He'll keep the franchise going, until he returns from public service.
My hope is that his show will remain intact with a good replacement. If, God forbid, the Republicans lose in 2028, I'd hate for him to have to rebuild from scratch.
"Joy" Reid: If I don't get this job, you can cook your own Thanksgiving dinner!"
I volunteer!
Yeah, when I heard the news, it was one of those good news/bad news moments.
My question regards the future of Matt Gaetz. He should show up somewhere in a position of authority.
Kash tapped Matt Gaetz to be a Special Prosecutor regarding the Hunter Biden/Ukraine case. Read about it today.
Great!
02/24/25: Agreed. I'm reasonably certain that Trump is just bidding his time before he brings Gaetz back. Make him the Ambassador to Great Britain (screw "UK") in charging of mocking Starmer and Lammy Monday through Friday.
Special Prosecutor role?
02/24/25: Probably too incendiary. Better elsewhere is my guess. By the way, he's about the 999th candidatye that the Democrats have unsuccessfully tried to character-assassinate. One would think that their failure rate would be even obvious to THEM at this point.
No because it has worked once so why won't it work 1,000,000 times again.
I would like to casually point out that the Republicans swift boated John Kerry so it's not just Democrats that character assassinate people.
Ben. Yeah but Kerry deserved it.
No argument from me and it was very effective they destroyed Kerry's political career.
That and the guy had zero personality.
Just pointing out both sides do engage in it.
Agree. And now he shows up at WEF in DAVOS and the crowd loves his Eugenics/ Population reduction plans. What a POS.
Capitol Campus womens volleyball coach?
Reply to Jeff keener re:role for Matt gaerz.
Head of capitol police to prosecute those who set up the capitol crimes leading to the j6 frame-ups.
I'm okay with that.
Problem is police investigate, and the attorneys general, state and federal, prosecute. So need a prosecutor and assistants who are above any corruption. Do we have any. BTW how many people are in jail for crimes against the people of this country? I'm counting.
02/24/25: Perfect!
He likes girls before 20. That's when they're the most beautiful! So yes, such a smart man should stride the corridors of power.
Remember Buck chiding me for not liking oldsters like Meryl Streep? Now, that's conditioning. She is of course, a very fine actress. A beautiful woman in her time as well, a time that has passed.....
Please go away
He won't he has been banned at least a dozen times and crawls out of the slime with a new name over and over.
Another First Amendment hero. Shame on you, Bin.
I 100% support your right to get your own platform, pay for it, develop it, and write whatever you want.
I also support Jims right to decide what he wants said on his platform.
The fact you have been banned so many times, and you keep coming back over and over only to get banned what does that say about you?
Shame on you for being so obtuse.
So? They're fair game,, and so is he. There are worse things for a young woman than a bit of training from an older man who knows what he's doing, and has the bucks to show her a good time while he's doing it. What an eye opener. No harm, no foul, and chances are, she'll get a nice consolation gift. out of it to remember him by.
Right, where did Matt go?
I had Trump winning back in 2021, but anything beyond that would have required being Nostradamus!
Kunstler: "Those investigations will require a whole dedicated division of new FBI agents while Kash Patel attends to the latest grifts uncovered ... the threats against public order and safety posed by countless military-aged illegal aliens ushered into the country by 'Joe Biden' and Alejandro Mayorkas..."

After the extremely obvious election fraud of 2020, when we all went to bed seeing Trump the clear winner and waking up to "fortified" election results, I couldn't figure out what would come next...
Until Trump backed off on fighting the obvious election fraud. Then it occurred to me that his plan was to accumulate evidence and use it after soundly winning the next election in spite of the Demo-fraudsters, because the Democrats would cause so much shit in everyone's lives. Which they did, under "Joe Biden" (actually Klain and Zients). And here we are. Very much like "Return of the Jedi".
02/24/25: Well stated. Thank you.
TX, LA, southern border states heavily represented but no one in the media makes a peep
One year ago felt like it would be 20 yrs. until DJTs re-election! Finally!!!
Yes, Annette, now every day feels like Christmas! We go to bed with dreams of sugar plums dancing in our heads, then wake up and wonder, what will Donald Claus bring us today?! ;-) <3
Not in a million years, but I'm loving it. Can you imagine what must be going through the minds of certain deep state actors?
I'm enjoying that thought.
The pace at which Trump is dismantling the blob is even too fast for reaction. The only obstacle that is helping to slow the pace of defeat is the entrenched judiciary. Kash and Dan will shock and awe the blob with indictments of some notable judges and congressmen soon. Stay Tuned and grab the popcorn.
They need to conduct their own shock and awe, and fast. Half of any action is the incoming message. Trump’s Troops need to be quick and politically deadly.
Bongino is genius.
Yes. Patel & Bongino were a couple of fringe alt-media types as they told truth as a couple of lone voices in the wilderness. Look at them now!
We all (not just alt but EVERYONE) knew that there was something shady as Congressman after Congresswoman after Senator arrived in DC with a net worth of bupkis and then turned a $200k/year income into tens of millions net worth ten and twenty years later. "That's just the way it is" ... until it isn't!
Actually Patel was a Federal trial attorney with DOJ, senior counsel to the Joint Special Operations Command, and senior counsel on counterterrorism to the House Intelligence Committee. Bongino was with the NYPD and later the Secret Service.
In a perfect world, there would be no Indians living in America. Certainly none in politics or positions of any power.
In an even more perfect world there wouldn’t be any racist bigots living in our country, but here you are!
Try to become a citizen of India, slick. You'll be laughed out of the office. You're a joke.
Why would I? I’m a Texan and an American. I can’t do any better than that.
What is your problem with me not wanting to have American culture bastardized by foreigners. I am a Georgian and a Confederate. I can't do any better than that.
That you’re a Georgian and a Confederate is quite obvious, but it’s certainly nothing to brag about. With that in mind, you being proud to associate yourself with the likes of Stacey Abrams and Fani Willis is quite baffling. You got something for those fat bottom girls that we need to know about? Come on, let it all out. The truth shall set you free!
Mexico is taking Texas back. That's why there's millions of them there. Forget the Alamo, buddy - you missed the entire point.
Good luck with that. My family was here before the Alamo. We won at cowboys and Indians, we beat Mexico into submission TWICE, and we can do it again!
Try to become a citizen of Mexico.
You've come full circle. You now realize that nations that don't allow mass immigration are smart and will survive, while America dies under the dark tide of immigration.
Apparently he never heard the phrase "Don't mess with Texas!"
Just like India. Who would want to be a citizen there. They all want to live in America. They have no desire to become citizens. The trope "import the third world, become the third world" is factual.
The "Mexicans" aka cartels, are all being returned to Mexico. It seems you've missed that point.
Replaced is replaced even if done "legally". Our ancestors wouldn't have fallen for this scam, but you do.
Trump is Bibi's butler and is always on call. A pager is a pager even if gold.
Patel: Israel should be our first priority. He's MIGA. Make India great again by making Israel great again. You can't advance without at least preteding to care about the latter.
It's true that unquestioning support for both Israel and Pfizer is still required to advance in US politics, even under Trump.
This is corruption.
Trump has given signals he does NOT support Israel/Netanyahu but he does need to act like he does to stay alive for one. If you saw the shocked look on Netanyahu's face when Trump announced he was not going to let Israel have Palestine, that was a huge tell. Trump is playing 5D chess. I've watched him for 45 yrs, he's very good at it.
In other words, our soldiers are going to die fighting Hamas. Dying for us? No for Jewish investors in Gaza.
Fooling you is like taking candy from a baby.
You are blinded by your hate of all things Jewish, or at least Israeli. Trump is going to do what is right for America, in his eyes, so stand by and wait. His desire to resurrect Gaza under American surveillance is an indicator of his thoughts. He wants a land that will be for all folks, tourists from everywhere being serviced by a diverse group of everyone. Drive out Hamas, whom no one wants, then displace the Palis while reconstructing the zone. Like the USA, only certain folks, Palis and Israelis will do the reconstruction under USA tutelage. What is to become of Gaza after reconstruction? Who knows, but I would guess it will be up to the folks that reconstruct it.
He does seem to take a longer view if things but I don't think he's good enough for 5D. Maybe that is the difference between a statesman and a politician, the jury is still out.
He was never a politician and never wanted to be in politics. I've watched him and closely for 45 yrs, and have seen numerous interviews of him; he talked about this 40 yrs ago and said being in politics is a mean life and he never wanted to be part ofit; but if no one else came forward he might have to run for president to work at getting America back again. Considering the good work he's been doing since in office this time, IMO he's a statesman. Too many people don't really know that much about him, because they just read about him instead of watching him closely. He's a very unusual man who does things in very unconventional but effective ways. He got mafia out of New York, just for one and he had Jeffry Epstein arrested for bringin an underage date to Mar-a-Lago.
He's also the Father of the WEF's WARp SpEED mRNA bioweapon.
Careful what you wish for.
Trump is pushing the below.
Feb. 14—A bill that would ban the use of mRNA vaccines, including for Covid-19, is on its way to the House floor after passing out of committee in a party-line vote Wednesday.
Sponsored by Rep. Greg Kmetz, R-Miles City, and co-sponsored by Northwest Montana Reps. Tracy Sharp, R-Polson, and Lukas Schubert, R-Kalispell, House Bill 371 would prohibit administering vaccines developed with mRNA, or messenger ribonucleic acid, technology on humans. The bill deems the technology, which was employed to create the Covid-19 vaccines, a hazard.
The House Judiciary Committee on Feb. 12 voted 12-8 to send the bill to the floor. Sharp, along with local Reps. Braxton Mitchell, R-Columbia Falls, and committee Chair Amy Regier, R-Kalispell, voted in favor.
The bill was amended to specify that the legislation would ban mRNA vaccines "for infectious diseases" and not "gene therapy products used to treat cancers or genetic disorders."
Supporters had previously testified that the vaccines caused more harm than good.
"[mRNA vaccines are] the most destructive and lethal medical products that have ever been used in medical history," Dr. Christine Drivdahl-Smith, a family physician in Miles City, told the committee earlier this month.
Opponents, though, said mRNA vaccines safely help the body build antibodies against diseases. They also argued that removing vaccines limits individual choice and involved the government in health care decisions.
"This bill interferes with the health care provider, patient relationships, it interferes with the practice of medicine," said Dr. Douglas Harrington, a preventative medicine physician and the state medical officer for the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services, during testimony earlier this month.
I didn't hear about this. Got a link?
Sorry, I don't. I'm all over the internet everyday most of the day, researching, so can't remember where I found that. If you can find the video of their meeting a few weeks ago, it's in that. I'll do a search to see if I can find it; if I do I'll post here.
I don't think that RFK shows unquestioning support for Pfizer.
I have to wonder if supporting Israel is absolutely necessary to avoid being unalived.
I never saw RFK show support for anything Big Pharma. He's there to clean their house.
Adding:
... or, at least, to appear that way.
Right, RFK is not Pfizer's pfool. But I never heard Trump say a negative word about Pfizer or its mRNA death jabs.
Maybe RFK will actually do something about the worst crime in human history, the jab mandates, or maybe Trump's condition for nominating Kennedy was that he would be quiet about the jabs. We shall see.
He was forced to admit that he's financially invested in mRNA technology. He's compromised in a very deep way.
https://donaldtrumpsdesk.substack.com/p/trump-should-ban-mrna-shots?triedRedirect=true
Wait, who? Trump or Kennedy?
I have not heard any news of either of them having investments in mRNA tech. Do you have a link about that?
Kennedy or so the allegation goes.
Something akin to the gulf war era Democrats heavily invested in MIC companies but screaming murder about the war they themselves voted for but then flopped on and pretended not to support.
It came out that many of the loudest and shrillest among them also had massive investment into companies like Raytheon, Northrup Gruman and Lockheed but the part no one actually expanded on was they were auto invested in many of these companies via auto investment vehicles via 401ks.
The jab mandates as the worst crime in human history. Every time I think I "get" how hopelessly delusional you people are, you prove me wrong.
20 million dead, so far.
Violation of the bloodstreams of the large majority of everyone on the planet, with the attempt to violate them all.
It's as serious as crime could possibly get.
Does "you people" qualify as a vague enough label to be applied to anyone you don't like without actually identifying them.
It applies to those in this comments thread who don't recognize Trump/Musk as a clear and present danger to America, if not the whole world.
It's all connected.

Have you considered that Miriam Adelson INVESTED in Trump's MAGA vision for the world?
When was India great the first time?
Right ... but more recently they were both alt media voices telling truth to relatively small audiences. In fact, most people had never heard of them until they were alt voices during the "Joe Biden" Administration.
02/24/25: True, and yet, somehow, they were treated as "fringe alt-media types." The payback is truly going to be a b*tch.
Does any JHK reader happen to know the net worth of the Senator for Boeing (D) from Washington State. Patty Murray. The little lady in tennis shoes, a preschool teacher who was elected to the Senate in 1992.
Never met a defense spending bill she disapproved of.
Now 32-years later, with Patrick Leahy's retirement, Murray became the Senate President pro tempore in the 118th Congress, becoming the first female to hold the position in history.
Reported missing in her home State of Washington.
From OpenSecrets.org $7,439,811 in 2024.
They intentionally obfuscate their holdings.
This link estimates Patty Murray's net worth at $2,880,000.
https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Patty%20Murray-M001111
Patty Murray has gone missing?
She goes to WA State twice a year to raise campaign money. Otherwise, she is oblivious to the common folk she is supposed to represent!
Might be nice if she actually went missing then, yes? Car careened off the slippy road and into the Nooksack river?
She has been Deep Stated, like 534 of her peers in Congress. That is the main problem, the legislative branch is not doing its job. They are too concerned about the next election.
The Democrats are already planning their next political “slash and burn” project for the midterms next November so in their pea brains they can “take over the House and Senate” and put the brakes on Trump’s clean-up.
If Trump has secured a peace in foreign affairs and made a huge dent in the Democrats’ folly, I predict next November will be the final stake in the Democrat Party.
"Next November" (2025), or November 2026?
I couldn't agree with you more....the fish rots from the head (No Joke eh Joe Biden) a couple of dozen fish heads on the deck in the next month will have blobsters and their attorneys lined up like Tysons Corner traffic looking for plea deals.
Impose Insurrection Act with Military Tribunals to bypass corrupt judiciary defense atty
I do not mind the judiciary gently applying the brakes. That's the purpose of the least dangerous branch.
Causing everything to screech to a halt?
Not so much.
Right, but many of these judges were planted in their spots, specifically to resist the tear down efforts that are going on now. For example, take the federal judge in RI. His wife runs a non-profit that took USAID money. She pays herself a 6 fig salary, drives luxury cars and the judge benefits from this arrangement too, we would have to think. Only 3% of her USAID money goes to her "cause".
Yeah, many charities are a con job. You can get information on all of them on the internet, google charities.
Be interesting to see if they invoke Insurrection Act and use Military Tribunals. Out Judiciary is just as corrupt as the politicians.
Keep that popcorn handy, the period March through the Fall should feature some huge fireworks that we have not seen before brother! Both on the financial side and the criminal/political side.
I hate everything that refers to itself as a "judge." Why are they better than anyone else? Why are they judges? Because they hold a fancy law degree from an Ivy League propaganda school? Run all of them out of office.
I'm not so sure about that, Anon. Since federal judges are largely political appointees with lifetime tenure, and the Supreme Court able to nix legislation on purely political 5-4 votes, the Judiciary has the potential to be the most dangerous, unaccountable branch of government.
The role of the judiciary today has been “assumed” by them over the decades. Their function is not in the Constitution, their existence is given as a Congressional mandate, if needed.
It has been since Marbury v Madison!
Judicial Review by the SCOTUS, But even that is not in the Constitution.
You’re right, they created it out of thin air!
Read a little history. That might help. Just as "everything I don't like is racist," similarly "every ruling I don't like is biased."
No. Judges don't rule from the bench.
Have you read Marbury v Madison? Judges absolutely legislate from the bench! Hell, Roe trashed the 10th amendment for 50 years! Chevron and Qualified Immunity were created out of thin air! How does a single Circuit Court Judge impose nationwide injunctions?
Excellent response, Mr. Slick, kudos to you! I was gobsmacked at the comment you responded to - how could anyone think judges don't rule from the bench?
I’m not sure, but it’s not even a partisan issue. Judges have done this for over 200 years. The Marbury case involved a justice of the peace that wasn’t getting the respect he thought he deserved because then Secretary of State James Madison was actually following the Judiciary Act of 1789. The Supremes sides with Marbury and judicial activism and review was set loose.
Use Insurrection Act with Military Tribunals to bypass the corrupt judiciary and defense attorneys
"The pace at which Trump is dismantling the blob is even too fast for reaction." ~ Mark
... and it is not just on the national front:
Alastair Crooke : Political Implosion in Israel and Political Earthquake in Germany.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_kMjyxdsBc
... so, the question is: Who is Trump's Deep State?
The Heritage Foundation?
Project 2025?
The John Birch Society?
How far up the pyramid does it go?
Xi has a vision of being the ruler of the world. Does Trump have this vision as well, or does he just plan on sharing the stage with other world leaders?
Where is the John Birch Society presently having meetings or membership drives?? Trump wishes to return the country from the state that the Joebombo criminal cabal left it in. It is in all our interests to end foreign wars and end gov spending that feeds corruption or corruption that feeds at the .gov trough. Clearer now?
One could argue that Trump is engaging in a form of censorship, but as you imply, every obstacle removed potentially allows greater efficiency.
I saw where The John Birch Society was listed as a sponsor on The Heritage Foundation or the Project 2025 website. It appears that it has since been removed.
Too Hot For the Heritage Foundation!
https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/09/15/too-hot-for-heritage-00116094
The efficiency is impressive, and it is hard to imagine that it is solely being generated within the Trump administration. I suspect that Trump reviews and cherry picks ideas from The Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 (just like "Joe Biden" utilized the CFR); but as Ritter claims, MAGA is DJT's agenda.
Politico is state funded media, like NPR & PBS, pretty much worthless trash bent so far to the left they are communist. But it is funny that mention of John Birch Society on the Heritage Foundation website was rubbed out.
Bibi was a spiritual son of the Habad Rebbe. Trump went to a memorial a few years ago and wore a kippah. Has he become a son as well? Thus the younger brother of Bibi?
My read is that Trump may capitalize on Bibi's carnage, but he has other plans, and will not hesitate to ditch Bibi if he doesn't accommodate Trump's agenda.
Ian
You are right on as few on the blog are.
Trump is re-designing the world, the entire geo-political situation. He wants the USA to run North America, to control the Northwest passage. To have the dream of NAFTA, USMCA, ie a North American economic union. That is to counter the Russo-European union that is coming ( just watch Germany after their right wing election) and the Eastern Asia union coming under Chinese leadership. The world is moving toward a tri-lateral division and IMHO, Trump agrees with it. Where is the ME going to end up? Or Africa and S. America? China is already investing big time everywhere, and Trump will counter this everywhere he can, starting with Panama and Gaza.
I think it is simpler than that John.
The simple logic is that all DJT needs to do is focus on MAGA, and everything he touches will contribute to MAGA.
You comment about a North American economic union. How does a partnership with India, Israel, or Ukraine, fit into a North American economic union? The common denominator is that they will all contribute to MAGA.
https://www.kunstler.com/p/warfare-on-lawfare/comment/93379659
As Ritter contends in yesterdays discussion with Judge Nap, Trump is interested in forming a partnership with other nations that will embrace his MAGA agenda. Many are taking a stand, and Trump will view them as either an enemy, or the competition.
The Jews want to be the leading nation on Earth - the only real one. The UN type Globalists don't like that. Nor do the Muslims. Nor do the Russians. Nor do the Chinese who think every bit as highly of themselves as the Jews do of themselves. The Chinese bid fair to be able to stop them even if they can't come out on top themselves. They are now allied with the Russians.
Extraordinary how much our world now looks like Orwell's 1984 and his Oceania, Eurasia, and East Asia.
North America, Russo-Europe and East Asia. All the others are going to align with the one offering the best deal. Resources and manufacturing will determine the winner. Hence MAGA and Trump, who foresees it.
And BTW, people are going to go where the best deal is for them, so today’s world structure is soon to be changed significantly.
Sino-Russia or Russo-China will not last long. It exists now as a force to tear down the USA’s predominance, AKA BRICS+. Trump is, IMHO, driving us in the direction of the Tri-partite world.
First step -reclaim the Panama Canal.
Second step - get Greenland to be North America.
Third step - Canada. Maybe Mexico.
Fourth step - Infrastructure for the Northwest Passage.
CBS (Complete Bull 💩) continues to be a leader in the suicide of the left. Long after all rational beings have realized that the left is dishonest, intolerant and incompetent, CBS continues the facade of believing they have relevance in the world of media. It’s becoming so silly that most of these self anointed elites are increasingly viewed as comic book characters.
More importantly, as JK points out, the sledge hammer of disclosure, prosecution and incarceration looms over the heads of many left wing miscreants. Get your popcorn 🍿 now and be ready for the premiers of the Kash Patel Show, the Dan Bongino Show and the Pam Bondi Show. Don’t forget about the upcoming episodes of the hit Elon Musk Show. Who let the DOGEs out? This will be glorious.
I saw it somewhere else, in a comment I think:
See-BS
And still, there are millions who tune in to watch this worthless tripe. At least I can say I am not one of them. I have never wasted a single second of my life watching 60 Minutes. I am proud of that achievement.
I predict not a single one of these fuckers will be incarcerated. I also predict that every one of those Congress critters who entered Congress as pre-school teachers and baristas but now are worth millions will keep every ill-earned cent and will still keep their retirement benefits. Sorry. I've been black pilled for too long.
I've listened to snippets of Mr. Bongino. I always liked what I heard from him. Will he deliver now that he has power? That is yet to be seen.
I’m with you on the NON - prosecution…. Some type of “blow up” distraction will happen (9-11 style that made all USA citizens forget Rumsfelds announcement of “lost trillions” in the Pentagon) ……something! Just not sure what!!!
The collateral damage from the Trump Train back to morality will deal with them.
Shock and awe, just to knock them down a peg or two. Trump’s Troops need a media outlet that is neutrally biased or even biased Right. Then they must weed out the Left biased judiciary at the federal and state level. They can start in Arizona.
Great name btw NothingButNet, my buddy Hoopy Cat would approve!
CBS has been liberal ever since Cronkite and Rather. Disgusting!
Swish!
JHK, the proof will be in the pudding...The past attempts at rendering justice against the Washington DC crew has always resulted in a big fat goose egg...When the DOGE activities result in legitimate prosecutions people may start to believe...but for now everything is Hot Air...The bitterness that so many Americans feel toward Congress and those who have become multimillionaires is at a high level...but in the famous words of Larry Holmes (who invested his winnings) the best way to hurt someone who is Rich is to make them poor again...It's not just about the large amounts of money but it will be about making these people (if guilty) Poor again...
Poor and imprisoned.
How about "poor and homeless."
To imprison them makes them wards of the taxpayers. I have done nothing to be charged taxes for the sustenance of these evildoers. Nothing. Prison punishes those who must pay to maintain the prisons. Take everything from them, push them out on the streets and let them figure it out like the rest of us have to.
Cankerpuss
They are already wards of the taxpayers, homeless and immigrants. Thanks Gavin and Joe.
They still have freedom when homeless. Imprisoned after all assets seized. Or just hang them.
I'm against imprisonment because it punishes the taxpayers. If imprisonment is a penalty then they need to bring back the chain gangs and make these people pave roads, dig ditches, break rocks, sort garbage and other such tasks that are unpleasant but need to be done. Prisons punish innocent people by taking their money to support and sustain those who do not deserve to be supported or sustained.
I also support hangings for those who have committed treason.
I do think though that taking all of their money, their wealth, their possessions and making them live on the streets would be a satisfying punishment.
In one of the Carolinas, a man is going to be executed by firing squad.
Utah still has the firing squad. It was used to do the long awaited execution of Ronnie Lee Gardner. Of his choosing.
I think some states allow it at the discretion of the perp.
Unfortunately, the justifiable anger many Americans feel toward the deep state is offset to some degree by the irrational hatred several other Americans have for Donald Trump.
I commend the actions being taken by the Trump Administration, even knowing there is some collateral damage. The patient is very ill, and the tainted parts must be removed, even at the cost nearby decent tissue.
However, as an objective observer of reality, I can see that's it's just a matter of time before the Zionist Project of Greater Israel (and the crimes thereof, always conveniently painted out of the news landscape), a smoldering fire of America's making, becomes a raging fire that consumes the Trump Administration, and devours and destroys the USA (or, if you prefer, to be more precise, RAPIDLY accelerates the USA's relative decline as a world power into an epic unraveling, which in conjunction with our hollowed-out, debt-ridden economy, upends our country).
Still, I am enjoying the squealing cries of the establishment mainstream media for now, while it lasts.
"However, as an objective observer of reality, I can see that's it's just a matter of time before the Zionist Project of Greater Israel (and the crimes thereof, always conveniently painted out of the news landscape), a smoldering fire of America's making, becomes a raging fire that consumes the Trump Administration, and devours and destroys the USA (or, if you prefer, to be more precise, RAPIDLY accelerates the USA's relative decline as a world power into an epic unraveling, which in conjunction with our hollowed-out, debt-ridden economy, upends our country)." ~ SocratesDetroit
That is the obvious conclusion, but given that which has transpired over the last 30 days, I wouldn't bet on it. Open your mind to other perspectives.
@ian2364 Believe me, I am open. President Trump is already doing quite a bit of good, and I am pleasantly surprised by some of it.
While it appears to me that President Trump is not going to reel in Israel, I would not be surprised if he does reel them in.
If anyone can do it, Trump can. He recognizes war in general is a loser for the US, as well as the American people. Also, there is nothing in it for him. Trump's "friend of Israel" credentials are good, just as Nixon's "anti-Communist" ones were when Nixon reached out to MAO's Red China.
Against that, however, we must weigh the fact there have been attempts on Trump's life. Israel has assassinated several people outside Israel. The last US President who did not kow-tow to Isreal and who was concerned about Israel acquiring nuclear weapons was gunned down in Dallas in 1963, and his assassination has never solved, was it?
Mr. Trump is a smart man and can connect the dots.
Problem is, unless Israel is reeled in, Israel will drive events and spark a war with Iran. That will draw other players in, not because they care about Palestinians, but because they have their own interests in Iran, and the greater region. The US has a lot to lose. Besides the likely deaths of many civilians in Iran and elsewhere, I fear the war Israel is going to draw the US into will rhyme with the Russo-Japanese war, 1904-05. At Tsu Shima, the Japanese sank the Russian Fleet, defeated Russia. This changed the balance of power in the Pacific. FIRST time an Asian nation defeated a white, European power. The defeat fanned the flames of discontent and radicalism, contributing to the Russian Revolution. Warfare has changed--our DoD is in business to enrich people, our govt is bought and paid for, complacent like Imperial RUSSIA. History rhymes. No one can predict the future. however, I never imagined that one day Pravda and the NY Times would reverse roles, that our government and news would lie about COVID and mRNA injections, and more
Thats my (TWENTY) two cents.
(Since Carter "bought" Egypt at Camp David and later on the defeat of Syria by Israel in 1981-82, and the overthrow of (former CIA contact) Saddam Hussein of Iraq, the US has largely controlled the Middle East-- except Iran (which the US DID control 1953-74, when the Shah, our "ally" led the charge for OPEC to quadruple) the price of crude. Anything less than clear victory will be a defeat. A tie will be a defeat. Leveling Iran without prevailing, the likely outcome, will be a defeat. A disruption in oil will be a defeat)
The Shah also initiated Iran's nuke program in 1971...)
View the various issues from the perspective that Trump is managing the hands he has been dealt, with a sincere focus on MAGA, and if he is successful he will have satisfied all his wants and needs, and potentially the wants and needs of the majority of world leaders and their citizens; and in the events where he is not, he will at least have promoted an environment where a moral group of people have the opportunity to treat each other with dignity and respect.
What would satisfy the wants and needs of the Palestinians? Would peace and economic prosperity be the primary needs? Could a moral environment serve as compensation for the animosity?
Ritter poses the question: Why would Trump talk to Putin about Gaza? ... and he goes on to explain that Russia started a process that brings 14 Palestinian factions together, including Hamas, to talk about what a post Palestinian government in Gaza would look like that wasn't called Hamas, but that had Hamas representation; and then China was informed, and requested to be included. And then Ritter goes on to explain that in Trump's mind, Bibi had the opportunity to deal with Hamas and he failed, so in Trump mind, he views the situation as his to deal with it as he sees fit (Trump is starting with a clean slate. There is no solution for the crimes of past generations.).
Trump is proposing solutions that satisfy the STATED needs of the various parties, and if unacceptable, then they can counter with their proposal. And for anyone who wants to be unreasonable, Ritter essentially points out that they will self identify as being an enemy of humanity, and provides examples of how they will be dealt with (for those that have an open mind and are able to glean information, I would suggest that this is an important discussion to view).
In regard to another assassination attempt, I would agree that he has some significant enemies, but as you imply, and we have seen, "Mr. Trump is a smart man and can connect the dots.", and in his MAGA endeavor, I would suggest that he (potentially) has the moral high ground. The trick will be to get his MAGA endeavor to take root so that it will succeed no matter his standing, and in this regard, it appears that he is surrounding himself with people who will defend and fight for his cause. Trump also appears to be having success in bringing primary world leaders to embrace his MAGA agenda.
Did you hear where ...
Modi says he aims to 'Make India Great Again'
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aL6w41E1zqk
... and at that same press conference with Modi, Trump said: "The countries will also team up to create "one of the
greatest trade routes in all of history," explaining that it would run from "India to Israel to Italy and onward to
the United States" and include ports, railways and undersea cables.".
There is only one explanation for this that I can think of:
https://www.kunstler.com/p/warfare-on-lawfare/comment/93379659
... and it would explain his comments and actions regarding Gaza. Could a deal be crafted where Palestinians would embrace MGG (Make Gaza Great)?
Nice reply. Positive AND plausible.
I hope your comment proves to be more correct than mine. We will see.
We can hope that it doesn't just amount to scrambling a rotten egg.
“War is a loser for the US”
War by military means is obsolete as Ukraine and Gaza is showing. It has been that way since Viet Nam.
Rockets, guns, planes, tanks are all being compromised by remote war, drones especially.
The PTB in the world hate it. They can no longer dictate policy to the under developed. They cannot even fight amongst themselves. Oh my, what to do?
Trade is the “war” of the future. Economic strength will be the measure of power. The MIC is going to evolve into a high tech posture as the world divides into three power groups.
John, would there be a need for the MIC if everyone had their own personal nuclear arsenal?
Just consider the annual savings.
This is along the lines of that which Ritter discusses. Ritter is talking Trump's book. Has he established a direct communications channel to DJT?
Back up a moment. Why war? Why do countries or even tribes legalize murder with each other? When the American Indians inhabited the North American continent, long before Columbus discovered them, they went to war continuously. The history of the Hebrew people is continuous warfare. American history is replete with war, every twenty years, every generation.
Why? Why do people WANT to kill each other? IMHO, it is inherent to the species. Look at what is going on now. The Left sits back telling us how they are for the Little Guy, to be benevolent to the masses, looking out for Joe Average. Ha! They are bloodthirsty asshats like everyone else. Look at the violence of boxing, of football where we live, in our own minds, the violence in our hearts.
Folks, how many presidents have made the elimination of war as a major point of his legacy? One!
You mention MAD as a way to eliminate war. War will not be eliminated until it is removed from the hearts and minds of the human race. Just the fact that our study of history is based on the exploits and victories of wars shows where our hearts are today.
And hypocritical Leftists are NOT the answer. Again, they are part of the problem, not the solution.
One more, somehow a people must be able to control the evil of their government. Under test right now is if the people of the USA have enough gusto to control the Deep State and that the balance of power of the Constitution will continue to work under onslaught from the Deep State.
Dalio shares a lot of what I consider logical information about war and the cycle of an empire.
Chapter 1: The Big Cycles in a Tiny Nutshell - Ray Dalio
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/chapter-1-big-picture-tiny-nutshell-ray-dalio
"I saw how, over time, this dynamic leads to a very small percent- age of the population gaining and controlling exceptionally large percentages of the total wealth and power, then becoming overextended, and then encountering bad times, which hurt those least wealthy and least powerful the hardest, which then leads to conflicts that produce revolutions and/or civil wars. When these conflicts are over, a new world order is created, and the cycle begins again."
That is the Fourth Turning thesis. It does not explain why the answer to unresolved differences between families, clans, tribes or nations seems to inevitable legal murder. Is it something, the violence, in man’s psyche, unavoidable. Again, the biggest joke is that the Left has a monopoly on empathy, their emotional bent leads to increased violence.
We're ruled by an alien people. Trump is just more of the same. The great golden Golem of Gotham.
Semitism creates antisemitism.
Antisemitism is then used to justify semitism.
It's always been this way and always will be.
Aside from his unconditional business as usual with respect to Israel, Trump is doing a lot of GREAT things. So I'm optimistic.
Greek clarity until your last sentence. The Golem is being given a bath and some good meals after generations of abuse. Once strong (young White guys are already streaming back into the military), what use will our strength be put to? Something to our own benefit? Golems by definition have no interests or rights.
I'm in favor a Constitutional amendment prohibiting the use of US military abroad. We should live within our own borders, and defend only our own borders. America occupies enough of the earth that this is practical.
Lugh, the more I study the Bible and try to imagine God, the more I am convinced He is a Mega-intelligence from somewhere else in the universe or another universe. Humans know so little about just about anything. God is a messenger of the Light, the definition of GOOD, the standard against which we are measured. The creator of this Universe. The presence of God is Good, the absence of God is evil. The presence of God gives Plenty and peace, the absence of God gives want, war, disease and all the manifestations of evil.
Man is continuously under surveillance by God, individually and as groups. Those found wanting do not last long.
Yes, God owes an apology to Sodom and Gomorrah unless He moves against the modern West and its ruler, Israel.
Revelation sure sounds like a future Sodom and Gomorrah, doesn't it. God sent us a gift 2000 years ago, Himself in the form of a Man, a mentor who tried to explain what He wants of Mankind. The definition of Good. He does not want what we think good is, He has told us what good is. I have bad news for the folks who think that Yahweh of the Old Testament has changed with the advent of Jesus Christ. Revelation says otherwise, Jesus will return, judging the people of Earth for their goodness. He will destroy "The Whore Babylon", Satan and His followers, and all others that counter His demands on the humans of Earth. Sodom and Gomorrah is a brushfire in comparison to what is coming. BTW, a symbolic 440000 of the Jews will be saved from the Fires, according to John's prophesy. God will remember His people.
KISS. Ritter claims otherwise.
Scott Ritter : Do the Russians Want Peace?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TUwe3a0Hng
The obvious conclusion is that you're conflating Zionism w anti-Semitism. You're the one that needs to open your mind and see the horrors created by Hamas. Do some real research.
https://swprs.org/why-israel-created-hamas/
Well put. I'm almost dancing in the street with the Bongino appointment, but waiting for the arrest of the murderers of Corey Comperatore, Gary Webb, Michael Hastings et al. The deeper deep state (not the bureaucrats) seems to be lurking, untouched.
At least I can die happy.
Stop conflating Zionism w anti-Semitism bc we know your intention is the same. Instead try and focus on the horrific barbarism of Hamas. Apparently you've read no reports coming back from sources not Israeli, of their atrocities. Israel is one tiny country surrounded by over 50 Arabic and NONE OF THEM WANT THE HAMAS TERRORISTS OR IMMIGRANTS IN THEIR COUNTRIES. THEY USE ISLAM AS A FRONT. GET REAL.
Their attorney's bills will make them poor. Remember, "Nobody knows you when you're down and out."
The last people who should profit from the downfall of the wicked are the lawyers. I have a better idea; let's offer the guilty a deal. Forfeit your assets to pay down the national debt you voted for, and we won't put you in prison. They can be doled out the average income of Americans each year and see how they survive on that. Or better yet, the poverty level.
I remember Matthew, the very hated tax collector who was doing the same stuff for Rome, stealing from the Israelis and skimming off the top.
Jesus forgave him and collected him into the fold. He gave up everything to follow Jesus.
"When the DOGE activities result in legitimate prosecutions people may start to believe"
You described me perfectly. When I see these dogs finally being stripped of their wealth and the wealth returned to the taxpayers in the form of refund checks, when I see them being perp walked into detention centers, when I read about them suffering beatings in prison, then, maybe then, will I start to believe.
I appreciate JHK's writings but read them with a slight apprehension that nothing is going to be done, that this is all fluff. Or like you say, "hot air."
I have nothing but disdain, loathing and contempt for people who run for Congress or any other political office. The very fact that they "want" to be there tells me all I need to know about that individual.
With too many Demoncraps and other lowlife types calling for violence against Musk and basically any other person threatening their grifting and even treason, I hope security has been tightened up around President Trump and all that are serving him. These creepy-crawlies in general do not have the balls to attack, but they do have their storm troopers, antifa and blm, to do their dirty work. If that fails, the same people who set up the two attempted assassinations of President Trump can be called on again to do their dirty work. These are desperate outlaws posing as good citizens and must be outed as the corrupt people they are. In the meantime, stay locked and loaded for any surprises the Demoncraps may be planning.
This is very easy to fix.
Order them be taken into custody for promoting violence it is after all illegal.
With warrant in hand kick down their door at 3 am and arrest them publicly with media in hand.
Warrant to include seizing all electronic devices capable of communication right up to some of these new refrigerators and anything capable of storing data.
Then put them on trial and when found guilty they should be sentenced to six months in jail and when out community service for at least one thousand hours picking up trash on the side of the road.
"sentenced to six months in jail"
Not punishment enough, Ben. We need to bring back hard labor camps where these people bust open rocks for 10-12 hours a day for 6 months. That'll get them thinking after the first offense.
Jail isn't a deterrent anymore.
But public humiliation is most of these people would rather slit their wrists than have the media show up as they are arrested and then after jail time be forced to pick up trash on the side of the road for 1,000 man hours.
Find out who fired the shot that killed Corey Comperatore and it will all unravel. The bullet, the weapon and the shooter will lead right to the top. The destruction of the evidence will lead right to the top. No Way Out.
When I learned of Dan Bongino becoming FBI Deputy Director, the only thing I could think of to say was, "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Same with Joy Reid getting pink-slipped. It appears that the Facebook wine-aunts will have material to keep them shrieking for months if not years.
A new awakening is happening in America right before our eyes . Some will gasp in horror as they learn of the betrayals of our political leaders + department heads ( FBI-CIA-DHS-NIH -DoE-IRS) along with a lot of other people who willingly participated in deceiving the American people ! RETRIBUTION WILL BE THE CRY OF THE DAY !
Beautifully stated, Justin. And to make it even more wonderful, we now have sitting at the Resolute Deck a man who doesn't know the meaning of the word deceit. America, re-greatened!
Bless his heart, John, he doesn't know the meaning of the word capitulate either.
Yes, Ron. That’s true. Or concupiscent. But would you expect any less from a man as manly as he? And smart? They don’t come any smarter!
Yes, John. Most all of his female Cabinet appointees and his female attorneys are smoke shows. I used to think he was just trolling the left, what with their frumpy cat-lady, box-wine drinking women, or rabid lesbian females, but I think he's just following his biological imperative.
He's obviously a high-testosterone male. There are a few of us left. I for one, will not miss one Tulsi Gabbard press conference, and honestly, would rather see her surfing than see Trump playing golf, but that's just me.
Ron, remember one thing about Tulsi and RFKJ, they both want revenge against the Ult-Left Wokesters for stealing their party. Attitude will be huge in the next year. RFKJ is talking about looking at the big picture with childhood vaccinations, what are they actually doing to kids across the board. Easily said, how many kids are being “sacrificed” with side effects “for the public good”.
I am hoping that his modus operandi is to uncover the lies that Medicine and the government have dropped on us.
Just in time to save my three-year-old granddaughter.
Let me watch Kristi Noem go on ICE raids in those tight blue jeans any day, any time. Damn that woman is fine. Tulsi ain't bad either. Pam Bondi she's on that list too. Conservative women always look better than the angry "man hating" leftist bitch. Who was that conservative floozy from Colorado that got caught on tape letting her date fondle her breasts after getting kicked out of a theater?
Check out two of DJT's lawyers, Alina Habba and Ashleigh Merchant, both Florida Girls like Pam Bondi (one of his former lawyers). All else being equal, who wants to sit in court all day with a 5, why not a 10? Makes sense to me.
Alina Habba.....not bad.
Ashleigh Merchant........damn man. Why you gotta go show me dat?
….. lol! she seems to have “re-invented” herself with a makeover! I hardly recognized her after holiday break when Congress reconvened.
Lauren Burbidge? Boebert? Easy on the eyes. Morally bankrupt.
Then we have something on which we can agree. I’d rather see almost anything than a Trump press conference, or a Trump anything. If he’s genuinely manly, I’m the starting point guard for the Miami Heat. A real man doesn’t go into little name-calling tantrums whenever he’s criticized, or, less than that, disagreed with. Trump is a tragically neglected/bullied child in the body of a man whose idea of exercise is putting his golf cart into gear. He’s a fraud in every way a person can be.
The women of the left are much hotter than their Nazi-lite counteraparts, Ron. I know this from experience. :-)
AOC isn't bad looking and she has a terrific figure. Then she smiles and shows off those horse teeth. As long as she keeps the smile under control she's easy on the eyes. Can't think of any others, though. Patty Murray? Good God! Liz Warren? Maybe 30 years ago. Liz Cheney? She'd make a good Miss Piggy for a real life muppets movie (there's an idea for you Disney!).
CP - try to find the Alex Stein (comedian) You Tube video with AOC, his "Favorite Big-Booty Latina". It's live in DC - hysterical - she goes berserk on him when he calls her that.
Saw it. From what I could tell Stein was right. She's got a nice big booty. Like I said, she isn't bad on the eyes, that is until she smiles.
Those teeth have a purpose she could open glass beer bottles with them or chew down trees.
For me the instant she opens her mouth, and the stupid comes flowing out any attraction at all is gone.
LOL! Love the visual of her popping off a bottle cap with those glistening, large, shiny can openers of hers!
So true. She's an idiot and has no business being in any leadership position........anywhere. Not that I consider the fuckers in Congress to be leaders of anything but their own carnal desires, but, many there be that do consider them leaders.
You tell 'em John.
Want to know how a REAL MAN acts? Go on over to YouTube and grab yourself a few clips of Sleepy Joe.
And those leftist hotties - couldn't agree more! Big Mike, Fauxcahontas, the Hildebeast, Kackles, Maddow, Joyless Reid... Mmmm mmmm! Toss em all into a pool filled with whipped cream and gimme a couple jugs o' rot gut - or maybe just a hammer to the old brain pan (the way Nancy Pelosi's old man enjoys it).
Ooh, some Biden-bashing, as though I praised him. My guess is that your idea of a good time is watching Fox & Friends with a big tube of K-Y jelly and a roll of paper towels, Blackbird. Am I warm? As for the women you name, none is under 60. I’ll agree that women, like men, generally look a lot better in their early thirties, than in their 60s, but what exactly have you demonstrated, other than that you’re a moron. And the thing about Mr. Pelosi having been attached with a hammer? Class, Blackbird. Real class. My guess is the sight of brown-skinned children being separated from their parents makes you reach for the K-Y.
How do you type with your fingers so sticky?
Ouch! Nice one, blackbird. And here I thought you were a cretin.
Thanks John! It was a team effort really. You pitched that one right down the middle. I had no option but to swing.
Please name one. I'll wait.
I tried Ron. It didn't go too well.
That response will never come.
John M has proven himself to be dishonest and a hypocrite.
I have to disagree there.
And yet you still did not really answer his question.
Is it so difficult coming up with a hot liberal lady?
What a spectacularly inane question, Ben. You never disappoint, do you?
And what of the $36 trillion debt burden? America, re-greatened? Maybe. But until we figure out the finances, how to cut spending, and work on bringing this hard to understand debt burden down, I don't know how America can be great again.
I have an idea! Tax the rich at the rate they were taxed under President Eisenhower.
Yeah, real smart JM. Tax the heck out of the entrepenuerism elements of society so we can have slower growth in the economy. Tax the rich, you sound so Leftist. Tax the rich and re-distribute to the poor, the key to destroying any nation. Your socialistic bent will destroy America, as socialism has destroyed every nation it has been incorporated into. The Leftist slant, you advocate is Anti-American as the nation’s people are starting to notice. Trump won by a large margin, get used to it. As the country climbs out of the Leftist cesspool, MAGA will dominate the future.
Think on that.
I might as well be trying to reason with a not-very-bright 9-year-old (are you ears burning, Mr. Trump?). You’re not worth any more of my attention, JohnAZ.
Your posts are not based on reason, that is your no. 1 problem. Thank you for the compliment, I would not like being in your favor.
And as usual, you have absolutely nothing to contribute, to even build your own case. Nothing but TDS. TDS is for losers.
Thinkin’ away, JohnAZ. Thinking that you’re characteristically wrong on a couple of key points. Trump won by a whopping 1.6 percent, which you’d know if, instead of saying, “Yup,” when he ludicrously describes his victory as a landslide, you actually did some reading. Also, I’m sure the billioinaire class is grateful for your support, and do see your point that entrepreneurship would surely disappear if Jeff Bezos could afford only one $500 million yacht rather than three in different colors.
How about the fact that the American middle class, which I’m going to guess includes you, as well as me, never had it so good materially as during the Eisenhower years, when the very rich were taxed at up to 91 percent?
What are your three favorite things about oligarchies, JohnAZ?
Do you ever see those studies about the happiest countries on earth, JohnAZ? Do you happen to notice that the Scandinavian socialist democracies are ALWAYS at the top of the list? The rate of taxation is high, and the quality of their social services extraordinary. But you seem to be one of those who thinks that the un- and underinsured should STFU if providing universal healthcare might require Jamie Dimon to own fewer islands.
Leftists like you just do not get it. The country is broke! Spend, spend, spend that is all you understand. Tax the rich so that the government can spend some more, buy more votes, increase the debt and deficit. You just do not care, you do not understand what $36 trillion dollars of governmental debt means. You are Anti-American, like the rest of the Left is. Continuing the ways of the Left, of Biden, Clinton, Jeffries, in their anti-austerity drive is a guarantee of the end of this country.
Tell us something, JM, what motivates you to be a part of the destruction? Do you honestly believe we are better off allowing drugs, illegals, spending, increased taxation, DEI, Woke, “protests”, MIC control, foreign wars, and all forms of government domination to continue as they were during the last 40 years? Do you actually believe that moving the manufacturing economy to Asia was a great idea, as Obama did?
Please defend your attitudes about everything mentioned, do you actually believe the shit being handed out by the Anti-Trumpers? It is very obvious that you just do not understand the Big Picture of the on-coming collapse of the world order and the USA itself. I would hate to see the country follow your lead, right into the shitter.
BTW, how about a primer of what you do believe in, without your obvious TDS? How would you handle the problems that Trump et al faces today? Are you a gimme, that thinks that the government is an infinite source of capital to supply the gimme psyche of the Left? If so, like the government, you are the problem, not the solution.
Now that I have exploded my spleen at you, here goes.
I am self-made, we started in 1968 in the Navy, making less than $200/month. We both retired, financially independent, and worked our butts off for forty years. My wife handled the BS of the legal profession and I was in the Navy, engineering and 17 years of being a night time RN. We worked for everything we got. So yeah, anyone who made their fortunes, deserves their fortunes. Most contribute voluntary fortunes to charity and unfortunately politics. Musk, Bezos et al should do with their fortunes exactly what they want. Your attitudes about smacks of envy and gimme bitterness. Instead of blaming them, maybe you should look within and ask yourself, why am I not one of them? Each started with almost nothing and became wealthy due to supplying something to society that society wanted.
Progressive income tax, I agree with you based on the fact that higher incomes use more public resources and should contribute more. Right now though, the upper 1% pay more taxes than the bottom 50%, that is a fact Leftists do not want to talk about.
I do not believe in oligarchies like you do.
Hahaha, the happiest countries on earth, that is a joke. The most gimme countries that are finding out that being confronted by an onslaught of “hungrier” immigrants that do not like being criminalized by them. Happiest, my foot. Did you ever read Green Alba on the old format? Not so happy with the non-responsive NHS. Universal healthcare is a joke, don’t you realize that all the complaints about our health care today stem from the changes the Dems have made pushing us toward socialized medicine. You know who will be very affected by the USA going socialized? The Canadians that do not want to wait months and years to get healthcare for voluntary care and opt for the responsiveness of the USA system.
And 1.6% represented a few million votes in the popular vote and ALL the important “purple” states, including mine. Your gang is still cleaning up the tears left behind.
At the current moment half of America is slowly recovering from a bout of cognitive dissonance.
It will soon go long term and some if not many may never fully recover. Especially in the hardest hit areas of Academia and publicly funded research.
There could be a new niche market for first responders and of course big pharma for de-programming aids. Maybe home therapy robots or genetically engineered service animals.
Just spit-ballin' here...
Some of them must be deprogrammed like cult members but many are so far gone they should just be Psych evaled 5150 and committed.
"(Nobody axed me, but I approve!)" ~ JHK
Tsk, tsk, Jim, this is raycis.
…the moment I wait for—the one line…
Exactly, Miriamnae, no one delivers better - one of his many talents.
Shame Ronald, shame... What's rayciss is your attempted appropriation of the beautiful language of African-american english.
Actually, we are (undeservedly) blessed with no less than six distinct, beautiful, African-american languages in this evil rayciss country. (Hat tip to the legendary sage Ta-Nehisi Coates for that precious morsel of knowledge.)
But it was a joy to see Reid go down. (I don't even watch TV and I know what she is.)
And Dan Bongino?! I was already impressed listening to Kash Patel - didn't expect to be, but was. But Dan Bongino? FBI? Wow.
Well if Trump's gonna hire a guy like Bongino, I have a few more suggestions: Jeffrey Sachs, Douglas McGregor, Scott Ritter, Katherine Austin Fitts... And more...
Maybe Trump 2.0 will be different than the first version. Let's see "DOGE" take down some Republicans - they have played their role in destroying this country too.
I could even see Trump win the Nobel Peace Prize - if he plays his cards right. (Mr. Trump, don't know how? Give me a call - Elon has my number.)
yeah, except "Nobel" is tarnished as hell. Like "Pulitzer". they all went way too far
Yeah, giving Obama the Nobel Peace Prize - for what? for not being Bush?
And that's why - even if he doesn't fuck up in the middle east, and I'm sure he will - Trump will never get the Nobel Peace Prize (unless he gives me a call of course). It's because he is the Golden Golem of Gruesome and everyone else gets extra points just for not being him.
that’s pretty funny (seriously)
Trump 2.0 doesn't appear to be as politically naive as Trump 1.0.
Finger's crossed.
Trump 2.0 acknowledges the world for what it is. The Left is stuck in the 20th century.
Bird - always enjoy your input. BTW, I did read your comment weeks back but dropped the ball on responding. Sorry.
Ebonics you mean, one of Jim's most salient points - said many times over the years - nothing has held blacks back more than failure to teach and learn command of the Queen's English. True dat. (appropriated)
"I did read your comment weeks back..." Yes, our conversations tend to veer off-topic and transcend threads.
"...nothing has held blacks back more than failure to teach and learn command of the Queen's English." That and the notion that they deserve to be given what anyone else would have to work for.
They have had their minds captured by the leftists intent on destroying civilization. The same is true for one-third to one-half the white population in this country too. And many of those brainwashed whites think that aping black culture is superior to tired old (articulate) white culture. Whoever is behind this, congratulations, you have almost completely destroyed the United States.
Dude, c'mon. You're missing the black and white, the common denominator. Dan is a hardcore Zionist, Doug isn't. Scott is a vehement anti-Zionist. Poor Kash said, Israel is our first priority. Two fold MIGA. Israeli nationalism to benefit his own Indian people?
I'll say this: You seldom miss the mark so greatly.
Thought I'd get you to bite. Go back and look at my recommendations. You've already approved Scott and Douglas.
Yes, adherence to Zionism seems to be a prerequisite for a position in the Trump administration. And that is why I think this big beautiful balloon of hope and change will ultimately come crashing down in an apocalyptic war with Iran.
We've got a lot of trash to take out. If the garbageman is in a different cult than I am (alas, my cult is too insignificant to grab the levers of power), I'll deal with it as long as he picks up the trash and puts it where it belongs.
By the way, I didn't realize Dan Bongino was a hard-core Zionist - should have mentioned that in my initial response. Point Jars. I'll have to look into that. Thanks
Wow 😮
Mom?
Worse, it's punny.
Did you mean phunny?
Careful, you're flirting with the no-puns rule!
Ron lives on the edge.
He won't mind as it supports his writing and if he does it will be a knuckle rap at best.
Maybe I should have added /s but I don't do that. It should be obvious.
No sarcasm does not come across well in written form and he does REALLY have heartburn with puns.
I have had my knuckles wrapped at least once over them in the last fifteen years.
Does that mean Tom Swifties are also verboten he replied quirkily?
“I do not have a clue”, said Tom unknowingly.
I think I've somehow escaped the knuckle-raps!
Not!
Dis be raycis.
I was listening to .38 Special this weekend. Great band. Are you a fan? I assume you are, given your taste in music.
Love them, Hold on Loosely a favorite. Jeff Carlisi an original guitar player with Donnie's band, lives about a mile away from me. He keeps a pretty low profile. He gave my brother an old polaroid picture of the boys in a place in Jax he called the "Hell Hole" - I think where they used to practice. Classic, has most members of Skynyrd - Ronnie with a pistol tucked in his waistband, for "killing snakes". DM me with a number if you want and I'll text you a copy.
Sarcasm. No. Nothing wrong, and everything right with separate cultures. They've enriched us enough already. /s
Seems the folks preaching "Diversity" ultimately want a lack of diversity with "all the colors bleeding into one"* (*Thank you globalist demagogue Bono aka Melinda Gates)
(Seriously, Duck-duck-go photos of Bono and Ms. Gates. Take those rose-colored glasses off Bono and put them on Ms. Gates. Shave Bono and let Melinda's stubble grow out. See? Just like Pat Sajak/Dan Quayle. Ever see them together? No.)
I'm all for diversity. We need to stop imposing ourselves on the rest of the world, and we need to stop importing their trash.
The sarc tag "/s" is kinda like using your turn signal on an empty road - you don't do that do you? Didn't think so. If readers don't know when I'm being sarcastic, then they need to read more of my rants.
They need to add a "Loved" button to your stuff.
You kidding me? I don't even use my turn signal on an 8-lane divided highway, I just do what I call the "nigga sweep" - drift across all 4 lanes to hit an exit. My boys said, "What did he just say?!" - they never heard the expression before.
The tag was just for Janos - he didn't pick up on it above.
And now his comment is gone, so I don't know what he said.
When things get too ideological, Jars seems to lose his sense of humor and perspective - a lot like the commies in that way...
I never realized how considerate Michigan drivers are until I moved to Florida.
I never realized how competent Florida drivers are until I moved to Qatar.
If there is a country whose drivers make Qatari drivers look good, I think I'd rather stay home.
No, that is my perspective. I really believe what I write and deeply care about these issues. Is that bad? As if humor trumps and being "cool" trumps caring and national survival?
Obviously I'm not always serious and I do love humor, both laughing and making people laugh.
Jars, I have no doubt you mean what you write. And I respect your pursuit of ideological purity - Quixotic though it may be. Do what (you think) is right, even if success appears impossible - I think that's a good policy.
But when you're down in the rhetorical trenches, subtleties sometimes fly unappreciated over your head. I was not suggesting you change your ways. I was just making an observation - and ok, maybe provoking you a bit. But ya gotta admit, those commies don't have a sense of humor.
Naw, I just don't think the subtleties are relevant when our people face extinction.
I grieve that neither you or Dys have any thing you love beyond yourselves in this world, thus you laugh in despair.
Hopefully you both have a spiritual life of some kind. Pantheism or worship of Nature (not Prakriti (Sk) or Cosmic Nature) is the usual recourse. It's something to be sure.
Gotta disagree with you about subtleties, especially in these proto-apocalyptic times. Those subtleties can go a long way toward evening your odds vs. the house.
I don't know whose head you are in, but it isn't mine. If you read my writing, rather than looking for points to argue, you would realize that I am such a spiritual being that I barely have one foot in the material world.
Perhaps, but that's bad too if people like you get into power and because of their spirituality, fail to put their own people first.
The Sufis are right: Jesus taught the way to the Other World. Mohammad taught both that and the way in this world as well.
Watch Silent Snow, Secret Snow: A boy leaves our common reality out of his love for snow.
I fear the Blob will not die without a violent response. It has never been this close to that breaking point and it has been violent in past.
I share your concern.
For a fleeting second, I thought that read, 'I share your popcorn.'.
Anyway, the violence that Truk Leppur mentions may eventually manifest as a civil war or secession.
Ironically there's never been anything remotely joyful about Joy Reid. Funny that.
There is starting to be a backlash in the form of defamation suits against the Leftist asshats in the media. Then they must View is going away and Big Mouth, nasty individuals are getting sued. Defamation is hopefully going to enter politics, clobbering those that think they can lie and get away with it.
Defamation, to prevail in court, hinges upon provable monetary damages.
Okay, how about all the BS Law-fare aimed at Trump over the last four years. Has it caused him financial harm? How about the miraculous 20 minute affair in the woman’s dressing room? How about DAs inventing laws to accost him with. How about the made-up BS Jack Smith had to make up to try to tear him down?
I am very pleased that finally a majority of the American public did not buy the bullshit of the Leftist asshats.
John, I agree with you 100%. I have zero sympathy for any of them. If lined up and shot, I wouldn't lose a minute's sleep. Sounds heartless, but it's my truth. For my personal beliefs and voicing them, I've had the local machine come after me personally - a not even thinly veiled attempt at character assassination - including the local newspaper.
In my instance - no provable monetary damages, so I had no legal grounds for defamation. As you say, Trump does, and they can be proven sufficiently, I'm sure. People don't realize the extent of the cancer at the local level, with State and Federal above them, for backing. I don't give a fuck, I will never be silent and never capitulate. Ever.

^Here's^ the published letter. Had to fight the Editor to get it published. They outflanked me though. Whoever does the paper's social media, led their - then Twitter, now X - feed the very next day with my letter - trying to get pushback against me personally. This was a top-down concerted effort at the paper.
The first Tweet, also part of the set up says, "Has Ron Anselmo been arrested yet for inciting violence?" How do you think that looks to an employer, or a lender? Or anyone else who scrapes my electronic dossier? Fuck them.
It didn't say, "Has the writer...", they purposely used my name for that very reason - now a part of my record. A flat-out character assassination. I repeat. Fuck them. Over.
I checked out St. Augustine and I'm envious, it's very nice, and it would be among my choices to settle if I lived in the USA. Do I have the right town?
South-east and Northwest probably, so the coasts of North Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas, maybe Virginia and the coasts of North California, Oregon, and South Washington.
Cute letter.
Zazzy, as far as a landing spot in the US, SE or NW. The West Coast, bordered oddly enough, by the *Pacific* Ocean, particularly the areas you mention, Northern CA, OR & Southern WA, all have coastal cliffs well above sea-level, with rugged shorelines and crashing waves.
Now, on the East Coast, areas you mention, bordered by the Atlantic, all have broad, wide beaches, with adjacent topography much nearer to sea-level. Both beautiful, but different - just depends upon your coastal preference.
Not sure, but I imagine coastal Nova Scotia is much closer, meaning similar, to the Pacific NW in the US, as a function of relatively closer latitudes. What is the tidal difference (range, high to low) in Nova Scotia?
They're both nice in their own ways, but I think the Northwest Coast has less mosquitos, ticks and blackflies.
On the other hand, the water temps and broader, flatter stretches of land and beach along the Southeast Coast are also appealing. I like big waves too.
I used to live in Vancouver and have been down the coast to Los Angeles and even lived in Hollywood for a few months. (It's possible that the place we were renting went up in flames during the fires of a few weeks ago.)
I've also been to Florida as my grandparents used to have a place near Tampa. I even went upside-down for the first time ever on a rollercoaster at Bush Gardens.
How were the hurricanes last fall in your neck of the woods by the way?
Hey Zazzy, sorry we haven't caught up in a while. That's on me, I've just been busy with other stuff.
Yes, the right town. You'd love STA, and I'd love to see you here. As a matter of fact, a fair number of Canadians winter here. I met a guy two weeks ago - here for three months - from Nova Scotia, outside Halifax he said. I told him I knew you, but not certain of your locale, just Nova Scotia.
STA - a great place for a little cafe, it is magical here, oldest continually occupied city in North America, since 1565. Rich in history as a result. Supposedly one of the most haunted cities in the US, due to it's violent past.
Occupied by the Spanish, French, and English at different times, with violent periods in between. Not sure you could convince Dreamy to relocate to be a partner in the cafe here, but Stranger Bedfellows have happened. 8-)
A friend has a summer home in Le Bic, built in the late 1800's on land in her family since the mid-1600's, I believe. Beautiful, reminds me of the setting I imagined while reading Walden, by Thoreau. I could live in that kind of solitude.
How have you been? Last I went looking for you, Dreamy said something about carpentry and applying for a position at your shop?
You've read Walden? That's kind of cute. Any good? I've heard of the book and think Thoreau was an anarchist too if recalled.
But 'Le Bic'... do you mean the Island (St. Lawrence river) in Quebec or the town of the same name nearby on the shore?
Yes, I may be slowly getting into carpentry, more specifically perhaps, prefab tiny houses-- speaking of Walden. Frankly, I have mixed feelings, but do have a good associated skillset, so what the hell. You only live once. The whole tool thing-- both manual and electric-- is a bit bewildering, too, but it's slowly coming into focus.
MSM is for the dead and those who fear the dead.
The "Walking Dead" has become a reality TV show.
Since I haven’t watch Lamestream news in a long time, last night while channel surfing during a break from the NBA game I clicked on 60 minutes just as Scott P was getting into his latest report. And it was a doozy. But while it was shocking to see how much he’s aged since my last viewing, the thing that hit me the hardest was the fact that many people would watch this insanity and become joyful that the “good guys” on the left side are totally in control. After all they are Democracy’s last hope against the tyranny that we all must stand up against.
What will trigger reality? Or do we have to deal with a civil war?
Joyless Reid. What a character. I watched Ben Berquam of Real Americas Voice TV encounter her on the street and wanting to stir some s..t asked her if her at that time bleached blond hair was cultural appropriation as she had been on a bender of everything being cultural appropriation. The next day she appeared on her show with a shaved head. Way to go Ben!
Now, that is funny.
"...asked her if her at that time bleached blond hair was cultural appropriation..."
Every time I hear someone screaming, "Cultural Appropriation!!" I think, "What about your straightened/bleached/died hair, your western (white peepo) clothes, the fact that you are driving a car and not eating - I assume - warthog rectum..."
She's only a footstep away from that. Her parents are African immigrants and she is a first generation. Hard to believe she finds so much wrong with her country compared to where she comes from.
Maybe she should escape this white rayciss shithole and move to Wakanda.
I guess she showed him
I have never watched this person. Don't even know who she is.
I have made that point several times would love to have seen her reaction.
It truly is hard to see how the DNC Crime Syndicate will survive the year. They have become our October 1945 NAZI Party--banned.
Please don't become too Irrationally Exuberant, Robert. If the D-party dies, which I find highly doubtful, (the R-team has only slim majorities in both Houses), it will be replaced by something similar, maybe even more radical. The country is still 50-50. Too many people are riding in the wheelbarrow and not enough are pulling it.
There is no R team, only the MAGA team. 1/3 of the former GOP are against MAGA and like the Dems are on their heels. We still have Kentucky, Alaska and Maine in the Senate though. They need to be primaried, and soon.
The formation of the next generation of political parties should be interesting. IMHO, many moderate Dems are going to join RFKJ and Tulsi in the MAGA party. Many nutty RINO types are going to join the Ult-Left. Already underway.
I hope you are wrong!😮💨
And easily 1/3 will just go with the winner, be it MAGA or Blob.
Yeah, known as independents. People who do not understand enough about current events to have a credo. They want to vote for the best candidate, without realizing that party affiliation dominates what candidates stand for.
Yeah, that is a concept that many on these threads don't seem to grasp. The Republican majorities are super thin. Trumps wins in the swing states were super thin. Half the Country are still Democrats and still supporting Democrat causes. My in-laws, gun carrying, abortion hating Democrats, agree.
Trump has only one full year to get his agenda passed. Next year the entire House and 1/3rd of the Senate will be spending their time running for reelection. If he doesn't retain his majorities, it will be like Nancy Pelosi redux, with a sham impeachment thrown in. The Framers surely never realized that Congress would get so dysfunctional. One way to make it better, and stop this endless campaigning, would be to change House terms to 4 years to coincide with the Presidential election.
The curse of being born in the wrong century... *sigh...*
Philadelphia, 1787
"The Chair recognizes the scofflaw from Michigan..."
("Michigan? Is there such a place?" "I think it's somewhere in Penn's Sylvania..." "No it's not, it's in Can-tuck-ee." "Who let that guy in here?!")
"Mr. Madison, assembled grandees, I fear that if we schedule regular elections, and allow people to run for office, we will undoubtedly see the formation of political parties - a circumstance all of us wish to avoid, if I understand correctly.
"Regularly scheduled elections - particularly for the Chief Executive - will become drawn-out circuses lasting a year or more, preventing the government from accomplishing anything, and leaving the candidates beholden to their financiers.
"First, let's agree there will be no "universal suffrage". Most people - especially in the future - don't have the intelligence to manage their own affairs, let alone make decisions for a nation. Of course we won't interfere with them as they fuck up their own lives. We just fought a brutal war to guarantee the right to be wrong.
"Second, electors will have to pass a test - before each election. We get old or lazy and forget stuff. That's fine, just stay away from the voting booth when that happens. And forget your elitist property ownership qualification. In the future owning property will be the domain of only the super rich - like you guys. No, this test will test your knowledge of our political system, as well as assess your overall intelligence.
"The electors of a township (for example) will choose who will be the government of the township. This would most likely be another elector from the township - but not necessarily. (Yes, I'm thinking kinda Holy Roman Empire style here.) Of course said representative has to be a US citizen, and an elector somewhere. If said official is a disappointment, the electors will vote on whether to replace him. And if they vote in favor, once again they will choose a representative.
"Electors from the townships within the county choose who will be county government. And it scales up from there. Counties to state. State to Federal.
"No regularly scheduled elections. No candidates. No political parties. Whaddya think?"
Madison: "Maybe we made a mistake. Pickering, get on the phone with Billy Pitt. Let's see if Old Blighty will have us back."
Erdogan said Democracy is a bus. You get off at your stop. We now have the Elector of Hanover in office. No need for more elections until he passes - unless he passes it on to Don Jr. Then we're set!
Well Jars, you just flunked the electoral test. And I thought you'd pass on the first try...
Stop being so ideologically serious. I was just jesting. All lies in jest as Simon and Garfunkel said.
I've already admitted your system is the best in terms of how to vote. Perhaps we need a Peace King and a War King or Presidents if you like. A bit of Fascism must be there if your Republic would last. No elections for the duration of the War or Crisis.
Trying to flip the table on me Jars? I'd expect no less...
No Peace King/War King duality. When I'm runnin' this shit show - errr, I mean once the electoral system I have described is in-place and moral, qualified folks are running the show - war will go extinct. Hopefully I - I mean they - won't have to kill too many people to keep the peace...
Fascism? Like the government saying to corporations, "No, you can't do stupid shit like that" - like offshoring industry to increase profits, selling advanced technology to competitors, etc? Hell yeah. Martial and imperial? You're pissin' up the wrong tree buddy.
Trump’s charter? How to convince 48% of the American people that their futures depend on themselves and not the government. To the gimme class, it is an anathema. The Leftist Black leadership is having a giant conniption fit right now because Blacks are learning this lesson and their “leaders” are losing control. FINALLY!!!!!
The 9 Horsemen of the Blob Apocalypse - Trump, JD, Kash, RFKJ, Tulsi, Pam, Pete, Elon, and now Dan. Damn, this is going to be good - even if there are some ups and downs. May truth and justice prevail to save this Republic.
Gotta admit I'm enjoying the sequel more than the original, but it's still very early in the game. Most of what we have are words. As with "Covid", let's wait and see what the long-term (that's more than 2 weeks folks) effects are.
it was quite touching how deranged "Democrats" have been championing these agencies ever since...2016. Nothing could possibly be wrong with them; they seem to be deranged enough to double down, until at some point they'll have to eat "humble pie", as we say in the UK. But their heads will be spinning if there's any remaining grey matter.
