The commies voted for Kamala. And when I say commies, that group is made up of people who mostly don't know they are (the professional class). They like the term "socialism" but don't really understand what that is. Believe me, I work with them in the corporatesphere. The reason they got defeated is because they don't do any homework and their beliefs are, as James says, built on fantasy, not reality. And that facade comes down quick when faced with how the world actually works.
I prefer James' term "Woke Jacobins" but they are also cultural Marxists and commies. James Lindsay covers all of this - the where, when, why and how - in his awesome publications.
But they lost. The American people aren't commie-friendly - even if the commies tried to sneak in their agenda under the guise of "equity and inclusion."
I respectfully submit that fascism/communism is a false split. They are the same thing in essence. It bears out historically. They are both statist, exclusionary power grabs. They share much more than they differ. We're arguing about the distinctions between two pieces of silverware. It doesn't matter. What matters is that they are both essentially anti people.
That's the classic take, but doesn't that make it a full circle? I don't see the cultural difference either. People are killed, that's pretty much the same. Each decides their enemy, kills them and takes over. Rinse and repeat.
Yeah, that's why they fought so viciously, right? Capitalism/Communism, being globalist, united against nationalism, be it Fascism or National Socialism - or the earlier form, Monarchism as per Czarist Russia.
I've just given you the master key to understand all things.
I've studied communism/communists all my life and I'm 70 y,o. It was the oligarchs/Wall St. who brought in communism. They don't want it for themselves but they want it for the rest of us - they get to enjoy wealth but we don't. If you learn anything about communist Russia, you will learn it was basically run by a very small amount of very wealthy men who never shared that wealth with anyone else. You may want to read this book, by an author who studied this entire topic with extreme thoroughness:
Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists Who Financed the Russian Communists
Here is just one question for you, it comes from a review of that book:
"Why did the 1917 American Red Cross Mission to Russia include more financiers than medical doctors? Rather than caring for the victims of war and revolution, its members seemed more intent on negotiating contracts with the Kerensky government and, subsequently, the Bolshevik regime."
Their Final Order will have elements of both Capitalism and Communism. Guess which will rule? The Few. For the rest? "You will own nothing and you will be happy.
The remedy is more Capitalism, right? No. That is the cause. The remedy always was Fascism or National Socialism. Keep the Capitalists in line, and running scared. Make them serve the nation for the good of all. Not persecution and confiscation or nationalization - except in extreme cases. Don't want to drive them away a la Atlas Shrugged. In his bluff way, Pinochet expressed the Truth: Of course you treat people who can make and do things very well.
Yeah. When I was studying Russian in college during the mid-60's, I came across the word "dacha" meaning country estate and was stunned by the idea of country estates behind the Iron Curtain.
Fast forward 30 years. The Iron Curtain had fallen, the Evil Empire dissipated, and all was sweetness and light for a while. I happened to be working at a major university and came to know the professor in charge of the study abroad program that sent exchange students to Eastern Europe. The subjects of their theses and dissertations were astonishing. Business management in Ukraine! Technological innovation in Russia! Similar topics Czechoslovakia. That's when I realized the infrastructure for all this had to have been laid long, long ago. There were books on the subject but they were poorly publicized and few people were aware of them, much less read them.
Today it's all out in the open thanks to an alternative media - no longer alternative - which has become a battering ram for truth.
Not true. The commies just take over the institutions. They have done that quite well: See Marxist indoctrination in the universities, and DEI/ESG in the corporations.
I don't agree, communism takes over the means of production. I would suggest reading/watching some of James Lindsay's work on the topic. Newdiscourses.com.
So communism means they run the military industrial complex? 😂
Last I checked in history, when it comes to universities in the USSR , people were able to get practically free education because educated workers benefit the state.
Here in Amerika, education is the most expensive and only benefits the wealthy who can buy their way in. What is the definition of a nation that is run by the wealthy?
It's Fascism when Government leads the dance. What we have is the opposite with the private sphere leading (at the highest level) - Plutocracy in other words.
You want to separate the two spheres, right? Can't be done in the modern industrial state. Actually, it was never really done since human life is an organic whole. In any case, one will lead. But which? You want the one that is faceless, devoted to profit alone, and beholden only to owners and shareholders to lead, right? Not the one voted in and that take an oath to serve.
Thank you. And this probably would pair nicely with what James Lindsay's work on cultural Marxism and the way the Democrats and the left have used that to try to create a new USSR out of the US.
Good, Grogan. Capitalism/Communism is one system, heads and tails. Communism is the fighting arm of Capitalism that breaks systems and nations not tied into the Capitalist global order. Of course things can and do go wrong. After a long travail, Russia has thrown this crap off and become Fascist. China, National Socialist, proud against to be the Han, the Sons of Heaven.
There's absolutely nothing communist about any of this. Just because communism had some features, such as totalitarianism, it doesn't make every other -ism that might share some of these traits communism too.
Also: Spot the lefty! Lefties love to defend communism. Esp. China and Stalin. I asked one lefty why she thought the oppressive Chinese regime was a good thing and why she fought for it to come here - even though she thinks Chinese are oppressed (more cognitive dissonance to begin with). She said, "Oh I guess it works well for THEM."
Except for the color revolution, the infiltration of DEI and ESG (textbook communism), the indoctrination by our educational institutions, the struggle sessions, the breaking up of the family unit, the attempt by the state to take our children through the trans craze among other things. Sure, Jan.
It is pretty brilliant that they figured out that to get the "intellectual" professional class on board, all they had to do was make sure whoever spouted the lies sounded like a professor or touted impressive credentials.
It's not a matter of IQ (capacity), to say it's of ego (status) is closer to the mark.
Do they recognize or respect my status markers, or not? For instance, I wouldn't know whether a NASCAR mechanic is talking out his ass, so I don't know where he ranks on his tribe's totem pole. "Don't you know who I am?", they demand.
It's the sounds they make. Our hoots and calls determine if we're from the right tree.
Am I surrounded by friendly monkeys, or stranger monkeys? Because everybody knows those monkeys from that tree over there are crazy, stupid, and dangerous.
(The problem is, those monkeys believe the same thing about me. I don't make the right sounds.)
I was surprised by the fact that the 65+ crowd voted more for Harris than Trump (barely, but still...); they must have believed the claims of the Dems that Trump plans to end their Social Security.
Sadly - I think a LOT of that crowd are just dyed-in-the-wool Dems and won't switch parties, as well as, they think that being Woke is "cool" and makes them seem younger and in touch.
I have them in my family. They're set in their ways, but hey, at 73, so am I. By the time you're over 65, you know what you believe and you are commited to it. I know that I am.
Plus, these people aren't into alt-media; especially not internet sources. They think a credible news source is PBS and programs like Washington Week in Review. They are convinced that The New York Times is the final word. These are the people who still have subscriptions.
I am a proud member of the generation that gave the world the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Pink Floyd. It was easy to see in 2015 that NPR and PBS had joined that Satanic forces promoting nothing but Democrat propaganda, lies, and hate.
Not all of us are. I'm 70 y.o. and know many my age who are conservatives and Trump supporters. Depends on where part of the country you live in. I live in the South where most folks are conservative. In 2020, my county voted 96% for Trump and we have many people my age here.
My mil was one of them and my father’s side of the family. All of them. Of course they are highly educated professionals. I’m the black sheep as my father was. He was a republican in a sea of liberal commie democrats. I’m not being facetious and they all live in California, Massachusetts or New Mexico.
That’s definitely the case for my parents (77 and 78). They’ve been playing the cool kids all their lives. My mother refers to herself as Betty Dancer. When my step-dad’s middle child decided in his 40s to fly to Thailand and become a ‘woman’ my parents were beside themselves with joy. They’re social cache with their crowd went thru the roof. It was like that Harry Potter scene “we have a witch in the family!”
That reference puts me in an unfavorable light. I’m ok with that. If Kevin wants to live as a person called Vivian that’s fine. He’s not a woman but whatever. Vivian just ran for a CO state senate position and lost. But the campaign picture showed a happy smile.
My sister married a man who at the time was considering transitioning. He put that aside for a while and tried. Didn’t work. He eventually decided he really needed to live as a woman. I hear my former BIL married a biological woman and is also happy, though with a very different personality.
My sister rabidly defends both his choice and her support of it. She’s quite preachy about the issue. And she’s been alone and desperately lonely with her liberal orthodoxy ever since. She seems righteously outraged a lot. And so rigid she disallows any discussion that might lead to a politics or religion. She changes the subject or begins spouting whatever’s allowed in the permission structure of her thought bubble on the given day. She’s my sis and she’s lonely so I just smile.
None of them understand why I’d worship Jesus or vote Trump. They wonder how I managed to wander so far off the reservation. But they all seem to appreciate my ability to love them with compassion. I have a deep sense of peace grounded in living a life of simple faith here in reality. I wish them (and everyone) that simple peace and fulfillment.
It’s the TV news bunch that watches 24/7 that still thinks the news is Walter Cronkite. The rest of us have a smart phone can use a computer and realize the TV is no more than a movie screen for made up stories that woke up. From what I understand The Amish were pivotal. Want to save the world, turn off your TV!!!
Yes, Amish were pivotal! In PA alone, something like 180,000 voted for Trump and they historically don't vote. That was enough to put Trump over the top. There's a really good video on You Tube by Nick Johnson channel on the Amish voting in PA. Nick went there and interviewed the Amish and did a great job. Husband grew up in the county Nick went to, lots of Amish there and he says they NEVER voted - until now.
I agree, although I interpret it as Isis-Ra-El, three Aryan gods denoting the Aryan majority, the Ten Tribes of the twelve. The Christians don't realize they are reading esoteric political messaging from a chronicle of a race war.
(I think your interpretation is more subtle, a valuable teaching moment to explore, thank you. My maternal line are conversos who came over from Germany to PA three years after the Thirty Years War, in 1651. We still have the land with our patriarch Einstein planted in its cemetary, some of the original "Pennsylvania Dutch".)
I think some of this goes to the Mass Formation cult-like behavior that occurred during Covid.
I am a 74 y/o white, college educated female and a former Democrat. I even ran for Congress in 1992 against the corporatist Jane Harman (came in 3rd out of 7).
I was a proud Democrat associated with the Paul Wellstone crowd. Then Bill Clinton opened my eyes to the Deep State and by the time 9/11 happened I felt politically homeless.
Then in 2007 I worked for Ron Paul for president while living in Conn. Obama suckered me in because I believed he would give us Medicare for All. When I realized what a snake he was and saw the Neocon shenanigans of Hillary and Co. I swung to Trump and stayed.
But back to the cultish behavior. Even here in deep blue Los Angeles (also being a retired RN helped) I saw right through the Covid BS from the beginning. I wouldn’t be “going along to get along” with any of it even though my UCLA doctor begged me to get jabbed.
So, for me, this election seemed to fall into two general categories: the “woke” cult believing everything the MSM was saying, and those of us who were questioning authority and were not drinking their bullshit Koolaid.
The non-woke won and at my age I am extremely thankful for this.
I'm a 74-yr-old white college-educated male, who wasn't registered either way until Trump, as I knew Hillary would be same-old, same-old. Trump's presidency woke me up, thankfully. Research since then has revealed the longtime war against the American people, and humanity in general, on all levels of our existence. The real red pill is disturbingly awesome. But the tide is turning.
That reminds me - no more public funding or airwave subsidies to PBS and other propaganda outlets. Now’s the time to put an end to that monkey business.
What Trump did say is that he will CONTINUE Social Security; yet somehow these people never heard that. Makes me wonder where they get their news from?
Exactly! But they also are still of the "normie" mindset of believing "experts," so when the Harris ads during the news have "retired nurses" saying Trump will take away their Social Security" they believe it apparently. (I don't know where they found these people or how much they paid them, but it was quite disgusting to see their "testimonies" against Trump.
Ever notice jobs that serve The Program pay pretty good? The people at the top install an affluent under class to take orders and run the program on the Little People. Folks who benefit most from playing the game never vote to have the board flipped over and the pieces reset.
I think that DEI money train is about to end. I am already hearing rumblings at my company (Thank God!) and the progressive idiot I work alongside is having meltdowns. I absolutely relish it.
How can any sane person believe that Joe Biden got ten million more votes in 2020 than Trump did this week? They should form a club including those who believe Epstein killed himself and that it is best that boys have their penises chopped off without notifying their parents. Regardless of their beliefs, Liz Cheney and her dad should be made co-chairs of this group of morons.
I saw the fraudulent in real time, watching Wiscondin returns, which never stretched beyond 9 p.m. To this day I can feel the blood pressure rise when I think of the gaslighting and censorship that tried to silence those who saw. And when I think of the Bidens, acting as if they had won something.
Jill Biden even commissioned the composing of a "Fanfare for the First Lady." Hrrrrrrrr!
Back in the olden days, when wondering was fashionable, I used to read history and snort and chuckle at all the stupid things people used to believe and all the obvious things they used to deny. I thought "we are so much smarter now!" Then I got a bit older and read more and I started to wonder what stupid things we are doing now that we think are the best things ever? For awhile I couldn't think of any -- but now? I can't think of a thing we are doing right. Everything we are doing is retarded.
This morning I received a Facebook message from a Portland Oregon friend who announced that she had to take her grieving body into the woods to see some mushrooms growing to ease her bodily pain Since I live in Mexico, when she said grieving body, I thought she was very ill. I was about to write her and ask her what was wrong when I read some of the responses to her post from other Portland people and then I got it. They are all grieving because of Trump's win of course. What is beginning to bother me very strongly is that these are people who are social justice activists who March in every BLM protest , every me too protest etc etc and yet as 50,000 people have been murdered i n gaza, as millions of children around the world go to bed hungry every night , as people in our own country are living on the streets , they are only grieving because Trump won. I have lost so much respect for people I once called friends. It's one thing to not like Trump. It's quite another to think that the worst thing that has ever happened to humanity is that he won four more years in the white house.
Gaza is a war zone, initiated by their own elected and vastly supported terrorist overlords who use their supporters as human shields. The rightful attribution of “murder” belongs on them and them alone. I hope you see this.
Hamas are the warmongers. Every (very generous, btw) peace for land deal that Israel has ever offered, they have rejected, because they are terrorists and anti Semites.
They will never give up their goal of total annihilation of Israel, "from the river to the sea". And they sacrifice their own women and children for this evil, sadistic goal.
It is ironic how the new woke is the antithesis of actual woke. I have been practicing spirituality/non-duality for many years now and the goal is to awaken from egoic suffering by letting go of all identification/narratives. The farther left the Dems are, the more intense their egoic/self identification and suffering.
Maybe she should eat those mushrooms and end the perpetual angst. I am afraid to talk to my Humboldt County-dwelling sister; the last time Trump won, she drunkenly called me a pig, over and over again.
It's more than 200,000, Bob. And as Bibi said, This is out Pearl Harbor. They knew is was coming just as the United States knew. To allow a terrible thing to happen that you could prevent is the same as doing it.
I'm doing a Christian reach out to these people. They may end by hating me, but I won't be in a worse position either way. I am trying to spread the love and share with them some of my perspective. In may be a wasted effort but it seems to be a good time to try to bring them back into the fold. Write an honest and loving letter--that's my campaign!
As a young man of 35, I woke up one morning and had a very unsettling feeling. I had thought that the world was a settled place run by very smart people. Boy, was I deluded.
The Elon Musk has showed up. Maybe to a small degree?
For the DNC, "soul searching" consists of determining who to blame for their fall. And RFK Jr.'s directive to the FDA, should apply to the whole bloated bureaucracy in D.C.: "Keep you records, and pack your bags."
Destruction of records not a bad thing. Proven, it becomes grounds to terminate even union fed employees for cause plus a felony for obstruction of a criminal investigation.
I have to admit that when I first read that, I thought, "yeah, right. They're not going to destroy records of their malfeasances"; kept or destroyed, then, we got 'em, eh?
Now we know for certain why the last four years were so wretched, so filled with incomprehensible disasters, and why we walked around feeling gaslighted. Because we *were* being gaslighted: the 2020 election was stolen. We have the proof now, in the ballot results of this election.
I always shouted from the rooftops that the election was stolen. They pissed all over our legs and told us it was rain. And so many ignorant, deluded, weak, feckless, moronic, pathetic, disgusting, should-not-have-the-right-to-cast-a-vote-they're-so-stupid, sheep, believed it. THOSE people, those MILLIONS of may they be damned to hell people, almost destroyed our country, irrevocably. As you can tell, I have so much hatred in my heart. I have no forgiveness. I hope Trump has none either. Because that will ultimately destroy us.
It was obvious on day 1. There were anomalies and outright crime witnessed and reported, videos proferred, and still, nothing was done. They finally got a woman jailed for election results denial, in Colorado. That was just last month though, so they didn't work fast enough. Imagine if they had succeeded in stealing it again this time!
I can't recall her name, but the CO lady had printouts of computer data showing how the 2020 voting results were manipulated by Dominion or Smartmatic. They didn't recognize her as a whistleblower, but as a felon who interfered with election material. Trump will pardon her soon.
"I have so much hatred in my heart. I have no forgiveness." ~ AnnR
Ann - let the hatred go, as so many tendrils of smoke to the heavens, or like a cancer, it will eat you alive.
On forgiveness - look to intention - forgive those with no evil intent. For those with evil intent - of which there are many - they need to be dispatched with extreme prejudice - with the emotionless edge of cold steel, or obsidian (h/t astera).
Hi Ron, The hatred in my heart is specifically for the evildoers. And, although many of those sheep may have been deceived by the higher level evildoers, the fact remains that the sheep DID DO evil, even if they knew not what they did. So, while I may not have complete hatred for those ignorant sheep, they do not deserve forgiveness. And the good news is, the hatred in my heart doesn't eat me alive. Because the love and goodness I have in the majority of my heart, also fuels me. But I do thank you for your words!!!!
Forgiveness is often not deserved. You forgive in order to unburden your own soul/spirit. In some cases, it may lead to repentance by the other party.
Either way, forgiveness does NOT mean exoneration for their crimes; there should still be justice and punishment; that is the role of healthy, righteous, law-keeping government.
That is why Trump's government MUST go after these people and clean house. It will bring healing to the nation and prevent *some* criminal activity in the future.
They will be held to account for their unrepented sin by the Lord God Almighty. We should have pity on them for what awaits them. Jesus says that if you do not forgive your enemies neither will the Father forgive you.
Not to give someone their wages - how utterly horrible. What injustice. Even God doesn't forgive those who aren't sorry. So many think they are better than God.....
I think you put forgiveness in the self serving category as many Christians do. Forgiveness isn’t given because of what it can do for you. When forgiveness is truly given it’s done out of the love for the other person. The love the Lord said to have for one another. No judgement in it and no self service in it.
😃 Don't hold back, AnnR, tell us how you really feel! Hey, I voted for Trump, AND I was one of those who accepted the story that 2020 was a clean election.
Let me rephrase, then: now we have a proof that is so obvious, so inarguable, so simple, that it is undeniable. See the graph of ballot totals in JHK's post. It is spreading through the alt-media and at some point will have to show up in the legacy media.
And how was this information snuffed out from being effective by the courts? Because of media control by the Dems? Or a judge didn't want to become a target by the Dems? Interesting, this entry time of Trump as President might now become a better time. Waiting for the Dems to really blow it may have been worth it. But now Trump has to spend a lot of time and money to undo the damage the Dems created.
Hopefully the administration will appoint a commission to investigate how all that grotesque cheating occurred. It was criminally treasonous what they did. Hold onto those numbers; maybe you can testify before the commission when and if it comes to be.
BoR - I don't have the electronic copy archived, only my hard copies, but it's out there. The exbibit is marked such:
Case 2:20-cv-13134-LVP-RSW RCF No. 1-14, PageID.625 Filed 11/25/20
Affidavit of Russell James Ramsland, Jr.
You'll find it interesting - an expert forensic analysis of electronic machine tabulations in Michigan - six pages of narrative and summary. His final expert statement and conclusion?
"Based on the foregoing, I believe these statistical anomalies and impossibilities compels the conclusion to a reasonable degree of professional certainty that the vote count in Michigan, and in Wayne County, in particular for candidates for President contain at least 289,866 illegal votes that must be disregarded."
Yes, 289,866 illegal votes. Have at it - start digging, good luck, you'll probably find it.
Yes, that chart alone make the case so compellingly that it can't be denied. When it comes to "fun with numbers," the KISS principle always applies, even, and perhaps especially, for the egg-heads among us. Keep It Simple, Stupid!
The steal lands squarely at Nancy Pelosi’s feet. I remember her in front of the cameras with a smug smile on her face saying that she promised to her followers that Trump “will not win this election. I can guarantee you that.” Biden pretty much said the same thing.
They put a gun to the head of anyone who spoke out about the 2020 election results, and most of them shut their mouths afterwards. Those that didn't experienced lawfare, both criminal and civil.
The Big Jews allowed them to do that. This time they said no. They want us strong so we can serve them in the Middle East. A golem must be strong!
In any case, it's all good. Or a choice between good and better for the Deeps. Storms on the surface has little effect on them. An executive from Black Rock said, Both Kamala or Trump would have been good for them. Anyone who isn't "good" doesn't get in.
The gaslighting live exercise to torture the American populace into compliance began March 13, 2020. I knew the second they announced the lockdown what they were doing. It still angers me so much - I will NEVER forget what they did. The death toll has to be in the 100s of thousands. We do know Trump wasn't told, because when Pompeo announced it was a "live exercise" (a military term), Trump mumbled, "well, you should have told us." That was swept under the rug when it should have been headline news. What ensued was horrifying, with residual fallout all over the world. And it's still going on. Covid shots are still being given. People still clamor for them.
Yep. And now we have cancer accelerating all over the place. Just the event itself though, the people dying on unmonitored ventilators while drugged up, for $39K a pop, and the suicides from people who lost everything when they shut up all the small businesses, and the pain of people not being able to be with their dying parent, etc., the good folks who lost their jobs, all that is unmeasurable. I am so glad that there are more measurable numbers from the death jab. At least that's something.
To some degree I can sympathize with the sentiment, in the case of the fanatical 'let them die in camps' jabbers, or even the idiot medics who so betrayed us through incompetence or corruption.
But to wish ill to everyone injected is to lose one's humanity: the chronically sick who simply trusted their doctors? The people who faced unemployment and homelessness due to corporate mandates, and who were jabbed reluctantly? Certainly not.
This is just one of the reasons Mike Pompeo should NOT be in Trump's new administration. The other big one is that he is a "Bolton-Cheney" warmonger! Keep him out, President Trump!!!
I predicted EVERY SINGLE THING THAT EVER FUCKING HAPPENED from the outset. No, this "lockdown" won't take "a few weeks to stop the spread", it will go ON AND ON AND FUCKING ON. Small biz permanently shut down, untold amounts of suicides, homicides, mental illness, domestic abuse(who ever reports that, anyway?) ....I saw it all coming.
I was convinced early on that the CCP was responsible for creating Covid-19 in order to hurt Trump's 2020 election chances. It's been a few years now since I strongly believe that the US democrat party and the pharmaceutical industry was complicit. Hoping RFK, Jr. investigates further and exposes the traitors involved.
Trump still has 9 months remaining to bring proof of steal to courts and 2020 will be “reversed”. What that means I don’t know. I heard that from the great Mike Davis on Bannon.
Personally, I want to move on. Everyone knows it was stolen. They know it, we know it and they know we know it. Surprises me that even now on CFN some people refuse to see it. No one blinder…as they say.
Cheryl, I'm convinced CNN is comprised of actors. Anyone with common sense would know the truth about the Dems election disaster, but these liberal media hypes are still riding on the theme of "the world is going to end" routine. I wish they would give it up. I don't see how anyone can watch CNN for more than 20 seconds.
I think you’re right. CNN is full of clowns. It’s going to take time. I’m hopeful that the democrat party as we know it today is finished. That this is only the beginning. The younger generation is largely conservative and that is a real positive for us
Because the hardcore is so fanatical, believing every word that they utter. I think they racially overestimate their own power. For example, on election night, one of them said, After the first debate, when the American people began to realize how bad Biden's illness was..... Nonsense, we all knew how bad he was already - again, except for the true believer who wait for the Media to tell them what to believe. I think these people have forgotten the distinction, if indeed they ever knew it. Some of them actually believe their own pronouncements - as if they really are an Oracle.
I'm hoping the schools will be banned from talking politics and sex changes. Amend the constitution because schools are teaching lies, let's at least try to teach the truths as much as we know it. It's one thing to have concepts of how the universe began, but it's another thing about politics which is based on personal preferences and a political party taking over the education system.
Moving on is great, but I would love for them to prove it was stolen, only for reasons of accountability. If no one is held accountable, it will happen again. Or just even open an investigation to make them sweat. But I hope something happens.
I want them held accountable for all of it. Covid, the steal, the fear they’ve tried to instill in Americans. The treason. I despise them for the wicked people they are. I want the democrat party relegated to the dustpan once and for all. One way or another. Maybe they are closer to that end than we know. I do know that they are running scared
The old Rino-Republican party needs to die as well; there are still too many Rinos in Washington who can mess this up! We need to be in their faces constantly, letting them know we're watching their every move.
They better not take a dump without clearing it with Trump first!
And for me, it's not even a revenge thing. It's just insurance against it happening again. Although of course, if something HORRIBLE were to happen to any of them, I'd not be sad about it.
I loved seeing that awful "Dr." Jay Varma get eviscerated by undercover video. That was pretty satisfying, I have to admit.
That's akin to "moving on" from the 260+ millions slaughtered by totalitarian collectivist regimes in modern times. No. I want justice. I want retribution.
I hope they dust off Rudy Giuliani's affidavits from after the 2020 election. Tons of statements from poll workers and others about fraud being committed. Also need to exonerate attorney John Eastman, Sydney Powell, and others who were wrongfully attacked. One of many episodes after the Big Steal that need to be revisited and sorted out.
If everything they spent the last decade doing is not fully exposed, pushing shitlibs far out of the mainstream and published in history books (remember those?), they'll be back at it as soon as the smoke clears.
There can be no reconciliation without a full and honest account of what this country went through, especially us filthy, diseased subhuman unvaccinated people.
Desire for retribution aside, there are reasons we put people in prison besides that. It disincentivizes the behavior in others and (hopefully) prevents recidivism. So, there's reason for it besides how angry you or I may be.
That said, I believe that the people most impacted by the mandates, and the harmful effects (sudden death, clots, myocarditis, turbo cancer) were black people who could not afford to lose their jobs.
Shitlibs poisoned minorities on purpose. They hate black and brown folx (see how cute and funny that spelling is?). Spread the word.
Idk the data on black folks losing more jobs but it doesn't appear likely to me especially since black folks eschew vaxxes. However, it was the death knell for small business owners which further exacerbated the downfall of the economy especially the
middle class. Then there are those in the military, the airlines and medical industries all further eroded by deaths and/or loss of employees where the marketplace economies suffered as well contributing to our downfall.
You're missing the point. Race politics is only a super fun way for libs to validate feelings when they are dishing it out. The mandates are a way to shove it back in their faces. I want to know if it feels like they're marchin' to Selma when they are on the receiving end.
Americans just won one battle against the Fascist/Socialists and Communist/Socialists determined to destroy America that now control the Democrat Party. Unfortunately Socialists are like cockroaches--they are good at breeding and at destroying stuff, but not good for anything else. And, just like cockroaches, getting rid of Socialists and their unending destruction is a long-term battle. But November 5th was a start.
Conservatives forgot what real conservatism is and ended up sounding like you, dividing and dogmatic nonsense like calling other working class people cockroaches. That statement reminds me of a certain fascist nation... 😂
Y'all love Reagan but forget that the real last great conservative was Eisenhower. He was from the military unlike the later chicken hawks of the DemoCRIPS and RepubliBLOODS gangs.
And guess what he did? Everything opposite to that corporate actor, Reagan.
-high corporate taxes, which made them reinvest in labor and equipment instead of ca$h out (remember dummies, companies only pay taxes on profits they extract, so lowering taxes like Reagan did actually incentivizes companies to shut down factories)
-government projects like the Eisenhower interstate system (private markets don't give a shit to fix infrastructure, only to profit from it)
And so on.
Where did the real pro American conservatives go?
Same place where the real liberals went....
To fake bullshit presidents like Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Obama.... And we will see if Trump actually drains the swamp as he filled it with neocon assholes last time.
Rob, good points about the advantages of high corporate taxes that I'd never thought much about. Wasn't the top rate 90% under Ike, which JFK lowered to 70%? You can't keep lowering taxes, as Trump promises to do, without further exploding our multi-trillion-dollar deficit - especially as the country is about to lose its perch as the world's Reserve Currency. Only economic idiots could think that Trump's campaign promises of no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security are good ideas.
Last I remember the corporate tax was 90% only above a certain amount... I think that's fair and if we had that today, high profit margin companies like Apple would not be able to hoard so much cash or funnel it out to shareholders.
Taxing tips is relatively new, the neocon Reagan did that so he could cut corporate and capital gains taxes. It's crazy, we're one of the few countries that pays some service workers less than minimum wage and assumes tipping. This shifts the burden onto the customers and off the owners of the restaurants...
As for the debt, I've always asked since high school as to who do we owe this to? The bankers and the wealthy. It's basically a way to sell off the government to finance! It's also how wars can get easy funding with the tab pushed onto the majority of Americans who get Jack shit from the industrial military complex's money pit.
I found it especially funny that the patriot missile system that we sent to Ukraine is such a piece of shit, still running on the same hardware that it did during Bush's first Iraq war. It was also notoriously unreliable back then as it is now in Ukraine and the tech behind the so called "iron dome" that Israel uses.
Meanwhile, Yemen is beating the US military with cheap drones and Iran was able to get past the iron dome with normal weapons.
They also supposedly have hypersonic weapons developed by Russia (and China??).
It shows how we are a failed empire because instead of actual productive work, we waste most of our money on corporate welfare that they cash out via stock buybacks and profits.
Perhaps the cause of all this is the tax cuts which made it easier to extract wealth from companies instead of using it to improve tech and working conditions... Cough Boeing 😂
Yes, Eisenhower who killed hundreds of thousands of German POW's, "letting" them die of exposure. At least he deported a million Mexicans in operation Wetback. And gave the MIC speech. Some small reparations for serving the Military Industrial Complex all of his life as a stooge to his handler, Bernard Baruch.
You think it's safer to put your money in a 401k? Tell that to the people who were retiring around 2008. One of my coworkers saw his 401k cut in half. Before then, he was trying to convince me to put more in mine. I couldn't afford it cause I didn't have the disposable income. He bought his house before the prices skyrocketed since the 2000s...
Where did his 401k money go when he lost?
In the casino called Wall Street, the house always wins. The house is the big firms that can sway markets just by volume.
As much as social security sucks (compared to the systems in Europe), it's miles ahead of gambling and you'll appreciate it if you ever face a manufactured market crash where the crony bankers rob you.
I don't know about you, but I have paid a lot of FICO tax. After seeing so many corporations and people on the public dole, I am goddamn sure to want my money back the second I turn 62.
American Capitalism is a Culture of Death. Everyplace that adopts it begins to die. Consumerism, Careerism, and Feminism - the trifecta of sterility. Compare sterile South Korea with the virile North that jus sent 10,000 troops to assist Emperor Vlad in the blood lands of central Europe.
Conservatives conserve nothing except possibly their own portfolios. And the big guys are just pretending. They know it's a crock.
Your enemies are also made in the image of God. You should pray for their repentance and salvation, not their destruction. Vengeance belongs to the Lord. He will repay.
Sometimes I wonder if these Democrats (who hate democracy) are even human..The armed SWAT raid (over an alleged misdemeanor) that resulted in the murder of a friendly squirrel with an audience on Tiktok enraged many of us, and Trump condemned it, but Democrats didn't care and Kamala ignored it...But it had to have sent at least a million voters to Trump...
It's only a small jump from "it's only a squirrel" to "it's only a small child". who happens to be in our way....
They killed a handicapped man a couple of months ago for something he posted about Biden. Showed up to his house, killed him, and then dragged his body outside.
More like, anyone who dismisses SWAT raids with guns drawn on families whose crime is having a popular squirrel on TikTok should be thrown out of the US, because he's on the side of lawless thugs...
There's nothing like my morning "covfefe" and enjoying meltdowns across social media. It really is fascinating to see the state of delusion these people can't be shaken from. I hope the return of 'mean tweets' opens up with a zinger. Gotta admit I was wrong about the election being dragged out for days or weeks. Makes me wonder why they just went with it and conceded. Surely there are more tricks up their sleeve to wreak havoc before the transfer.
The delusion is believing that the Trump victory won't suit the Deep State just fine.
They can turn everything and anything to account, and he gives no indication at all of opposing any of the greatest menaces to life and liberty that we face.
All their pet projects look set to roll on.
If he stops construction of the huge new mRNA vaxx factories, bans that technology, and also bans digital ID and biometric surveillance, I will reconsider my verdict.
We shall see. He needs to stay alive. I'd like an admission that 'warp speed' and pushing the vax was wrong. And that his 'greatest economy ever' was bullshit and nothing more than a debt jubilee masquerading as prosperity. This administration has to deliver. Things will get worse before they get better. Only retards think things are going to turn around quickly and easily now that their side "won".
I reckon that the Deep State is now just fine with Trump. Just as the Brandon regime's incompetence has led us to the brink of WW3, the military can't come close to meeting its enlistment quotas. And young virile heterosexual men won't enlist in Kamala's rainbow army if she becomes Commander-in-Chief. Electing Trump, with his MAGA army, may be the only way to avoid a divisive Draft or to stop the demented democrat plan to offer citizenship to illegals in exchange for military service. The downside is that thousands of US troops are needed by Israel to fight its war with Iran.
There is great danger in this interregnum between Nov 5 and Jan 20. Much mischief will be done, but we will survive, and then there will be must justice!
The Democrat party is in tatters, most especially the Biden/Harris/Obama front and the shadowy reptiles behind them. They deserve every consequence that's coming to them.
I don't know. I think with Trump's mandate and all, it would be pretty stupid for any little moles to stick their heads up and ask for a whacking. I am thinking all the boastful talk was pre-election. Doubt we'll hear much threats now that Trump has dominated the electorate so spectacularly. I think some of those smack-talkers were believing their own bullshit, but they've just been smacked upside the heads with a big bag of reality.
I agree - and think about it, the people who helped Trump prevail, like say, Charlie Kirk and other people who took major action and got out there on college campuses, etc. - they have no fear. That's what it takes.
It’s going to get rough. Raskin and Swalwell are making threats. Basically anything they can do to keep Trump out of DC. Hopefully he rules from Mara Lago.
Gabbard, part of the transition team, is sounding a warning about things the Biden administration is trying to do in order to hobble Trump with Ukraine and other issues. They are not going gently.
A recent report, Kamala Harris spent $1 billion on her campaign. Tragic to think that all those very rich people waste so much money to save their hineys and couldn't care less about saving their integrity by doing something that genuinely helps people.
"The shallow and sanctimonious cult conferred a fortune on its high priesthood but never did anything for the "victims" it claimed to serve."
That “shallow and sanctimonious cult” is like the Islamic jihad front of Hamas, using their brain-soiled and corrupted supporters as human shields to protect themselves.
Remember the Bible points out in the latter days "the foolish (uneducated, common) will be made wise and wise (highly educated, elite, experts) will be made foolish"..who has been in charge of our country for so very long..the experts, the elite, the people with those letters behind their names. Few of them have any common sense.
The world moved on from the Middle Ages into the Enlightenment. We no longer have an aristocracy, and we have the U.S Constitution to at least partially act as a bulwark against it's prevailing. There are of course old and powerful families with great wealth throughout the world, but in addition we in America seem to have developed a new ruling class in the last few decades. They seem to be of the mindset that the peasants are being allowed to run amok, traveling to and fro, and generally doing what they want without the overseeing of said ruling class. An interesting investigation of this phenomenon was written by the late Angelo Codevilla, who explains that those with political or economic power are less and less those with abilities allowing them to move up, and more and more those who are born into it, the very definition of an aristocracy:
Trump’s victory is step one.
Fox looked at who still voted more for Kamala than Trump.
Folks making over $100000
College educated
Non-religious
Kinda sums it up, the elite lost. Joe Average is giving the USA another chance.
The commies voted for Kamala. And when I say commies, that group is made up of people who mostly don't know they are (the professional class). They like the term "socialism" but don't really understand what that is. Believe me, I work with them in the corporatesphere. The reason they got defeated is because they don't do any homework and their beliefs are, as James says, built on fantasy, not reality. And that facade comes down quick when faced with how the world actually works.
I prefer James' term "Woke Jacobins" but they are also cultural Marxists and commies. James Lindsay covers all of this - the where, when, why and how - in his awesome publications.
But they lost. The American people aren't commie-friendly - even if the commies tried to sneak in their agenda under the guise of "equity and inclusion."
Thank God we are smarter than that!
Since when did communists believe in wall Street?
In fact, they loathe it, but both parties here are pretty much fascists, aka public private mafia.
Communism it is not.
I respectfully submit that fascism/communism is a false split. They are the same thing in essence. It bears out historically. They are both statist, exclusionary power grabs. They share much more than they differ. We're arguing about the distinctions between two pieces of silverware. It doesn't matter. What matters is that they are both essentially anti people.
I think the only difference is that fascism tends to be extreme rightwing, and communism extreme leftwing. And culturally, they are different.
In other words, they're totally different. But yes they both use guns, war just being the extension of politics by other means.
That's the classic take, but doesn't that make it a full circle? I don't see the cultural difference either. People are killed, that's pretty much the same. Each decides their enemy, kills them and takes over. Rinse and repeat.
Yeah, that's why they fought so viciously, right? Capitalism/Communism, being globalist, united against nationalism, be it Fascism or National Socialism - or the earlier form, Monarchism as per Czarist Russia.
I've just given you the master key to understand all things.
I've studied communism/communists all my life and I'm 70 y,o. It was the oligarchs/Wall St. who brought in communism. They don't want it for themselves but they want it for the rest of us - they get to enjoy wealth but we don't. If you learn anything about communist Russia, you will learn it was basically run by a very small amount of very wealthy men who never shared that wealth with anyone else. You may want to read this book, by an author who studied this entire topic with extreme thoroughness:
Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists Who Financed the Russian Communists
https://www.amazon.com/Wall-Street-Bolshevik-Revolution-Capitalists/dp/190557035X/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&sr=1-4
Here is just one question for you, it comes from a review of that book:
"Why did the 1917 American Red Cross Mission to Russia include more financiers than medical doctors? Rather than caring for the victims of war and revolution, its members seemed more intent on negotiating contracts with the Kerensky government and, subsequently, the Bolshevik regime."
Chilling, isn't it. Fascinating book I read about Armand Hammer by Jay Epstein illustrates your last point.
Their Final Order will have elements of both Capitalism and Communism. Guess which will rule? The Few. For the rest? "You will own nothing and you will be happy.
The remedy is more Capitalism, right? No. That is the cause. The remedy always was Fascism or National Socialism. Keep the Capitalists in line, and running scared. Make them serve the nation for the good of all. Not persecution and confiscation or nationalization - except in extreme cases. Don't want to drive them away a la Atlas Shrugged. In his bluff way, Pinochet expressed the Truth: Of course you treat people who can make and do things very well.
Yeah. When I was studying Russian in college during the mid-60's, I came across the word "dacha" meaning country estate and was stunned by the idea of country estates behind the Iron Curtain.
Fast forward 30 years. The Iron Curtain had fallen, the Evil Empire dissipated, and all was sweetness and light for a while. I happened to be working at a major university and came to know the professor in charge of the study abroad program that sent exchange students to Eastern Europe. The subjects of their theses and dissertations were astonishing. Business management in Ukraine! Technological innovation in Russia! Similar topics Czechoslovakia. That's when I realized the infrastructure for all this had to have been laid long, long ago. There were books on the subject but they were poorly publicized and few people were aware of them, much less read them.
Today it's all out in the open thanks to an alternative media - no longer alternative - which has become a battering ram for truth.
Not true. The commies just take over the institutions. They have done that quite well: See Marxist indoctrination in the universities, and DEI/ESG in the corporations.
But yet, universities and corporations rely on milking the government.
What is it called when the private industries and the government walk hand in hand?
Fascism.
I don't agree, communism takes over the means of production. I would suggest reading/watching some of James Lindsay's work on the topic. Newdiscourses.com.
So communism means they run the military industrial complex? 😂
Last I checked in history, when it comes to universities in the USSR , people were able to get practically free education because educated workers benefit the state.
Here in Amerika, education is the most expensive and only benefits the wealthy who can buy their way in. What is the definition of a nation that is run by the wealthy?
OLIGARCHY.
It's Fascism when Government leads the dance. What we have is the opposite with the private sphere leading (at the highest level) - Plutocracy in other words.
You want to separate the two spheres, right? Can't be done in the modern industrial state. Actually, it was never really done since human life is an organic whole. In any case, one will lead. But which? You want the one that is faceless, devoted to profit alone, and beholden only to owners and shareholders to lead, right? Not the one voted in and that take an oath to serve.
Here is a book you might be interested in reading, it confirms your statement about "the professional class" and communism:
Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution: The Remarkable True Story of the American Capitalists Who Financed the Russian Communists
https://www.amazon.com/Wall-Street-Bolshevik-Revolution-Capitalists/dp/190557035X/ref=sr_1_4?s=books&sr=1-4
IMO this is an excellent book. See my other comment reply to Rob for more info.
Thank you. And this probably would pair nicely with what James Lindsay's work on cultural Marxism and the way the Democrats and the left have used that to try to create a new USSR out of the US.
Good, Grogan. Capitalism/Communism is one system, heads and tails. Communism is the fighting arm of Capitalism that breaks systems and nations not tied into the Capitalist global order. Of course things can and do go wrong. After a long travail, Russia has thrown this crap off and become Fascist. China, National Socialist, proud against to be the Han, the Sons of Heaven.
I prefer Marxists to communists. It has better punch and is a bit more accurate.

There's absolutely nothing communist about any of this. Just because communism had some features, such as totalitarianism, it doesn't make every other -ism that might share some of these traits communism too.
Also: Spot the lefty! Lefties love to defend communism. Esp. China and Stalin. I asked one lefty why she thought the oppressive Chinese regime was a good thing and why she fought for it to come here - even though she thinks Chinese are oppressed (more cognitive dissonance to begin with). She said, "Oh I guess it works well for THEM."
Remember on the old site, one poster said, Everyone should be able to go anywhere and do anything?
No borders. Extreme Individualism which is Capitalism which is Globalism which is Communism for the many.
That was actually kind of brilliant, asking that question of a college commie.
What a splendid showcasing of their religious thought. Kudos!
Except for the color revolution, the infiltration of DEI and ESG (textbook communism), the indoctrination by our educational institutions, the struggle sessions, the breaking up of the family unit, the attempt by the state to take our children through the trans craze among other things. Sure, Jan.
The intellectual at a university seem to think that they are immune to propaganda since they are the smartest people in the world.
As it turns out, they are more susceptible than just about anyone else.
James put it perfectly: because they believe the credentialed other "experts".
T'is the credentialing that's the problem. If confers a counterfeit stamp of legitimacy, and thus, status: You're in, or you're out.
Status, not expertise, is the goal. Patronage is the reward of loyalists.
It is pretty brilliant that they figured out that to get the "intellectual" professional class on board, all they had to do was make sure whoever spouted the lies sounded like a professor or touted impressive credentials.
"He sounds like us. He speaks our language and wears our colors."
I call 'speaking Uni' a dialect. Talking to them outside of that dialect is like speaking French to a dog.
(I don't speak Uni, myself. Never learned the language. Thus, I have no authority, only the opinions of the uneducated, the grunting of hogs.)
Lie to a liar, steal from a thief, dupe a self-proclaimed "smart" person. . .
So "smart," they're stupid. They've educated themselves into a sneering idiocy.
Disproportionate self importance is part of the problem
It's not a matter of IQ (capacity), to say it's of ego (status) is closer to the mark.
Do they recognize or respect my status markers, or not? For instance, I wouldn't know whether a NASCAR mechanic is talking out his ass, so I don't know where he ranks on his tribe's totem pole. "Don't you know who I am?", they demand.
It's the sounds they make. Our hoots and calls determine if we're from the right tree.
Am I surrounded by friendly monkeys, or stranger monkeys? Because everybody knows those monkeys from that tree over there are crazy, stupid, and dangerous.
(The problem is, those monkeys believe the same thing about me. I don't make the right sounds.)
I was surprised by the fact that the 65+ crowd voted more for Harris than Trump (barely, but still...); they must have believed the claims of the Dems that Trump plans to end their Social Security.
Sadly - I think a LOT of that crowd are just dyed-in-the-wool Dems and won't switch parties, as well as, they think that being Woke is "cool" and makes them seem younger and in touch.
Yep.
"Dyed-in-the-wool".
I have them in my family. They're set in their ways, but hey, at 73, so am I. By the time you're over 65, you know what you believe and you are commited to it. I know that I am.
Plus, these people aren't into alt-media; especially not internet sources. They think a credible news source is PBS and programs like Washington Week in Review. They are convinced that The New York Times is the final word. These are the people who still have subscriptions.
Oh they think PBS and NPR are the source of all truth - YEP. Those hushed, snobby English accents. That generation are suckers for them.
I am a proud member of the generation that gave the world the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Pink Floyd. It was easy to see in 2015 that NPR and PBS had joined that Satanic forces promoting nothing but Democrat propaganda, lies, and hate.
Yes - I'm of that generation, too, and saw that myself long ago.
Hmmm. You should read David McGowan's Laurel Canyon series. Lots of those musical acts you loved came from the same satanic forces.
Not all of us are. I'm 70 y.o. and know many my age who are conservatives and Trump supporters. Depends on where part of the country you live in. I live in the South where most folks are conservative. In 2020, my county voted 96% for Trump and we have many people my age here.
Absolutely. I think we're talking more about the loudest mouths, and the ones that rose to the top of the money chain. They tend to be libs.
👎🤢🤮 I myself can't find who I was responding to here bc they play musical comments. 👎
My mil was one of them and my father’s side of the family. All of them. Of course they are highly educated professionals. I’m the black sheep as my father was. He was a republican in a sea of liberal commie democrats. I’m not being facetious and they all live in California, Massachusetts or New Mexico.
That’s definitely the case for my parents (77 and 78). They’ve been playing the cool kids all their lives. My mother refers to herself as Betty Dancer. When my step-dad’s middle child decided in his 40s to fly to Thailand and become a ‘woman’ my parents were beside themselves with joy. They’re social cache with their crowd went thru the roof. It was like that Harry Potter scene “we have a witch in the family!”
That reference puts me in an unfavorable light. I’m ok with that. If Kevin wants to live as a person called Vivian that’s fine. He’s not a woman but whatever. Vivian just ran for a CO state senate position and lost. But the campaign picture showed a happy smile.
My sister married a man who at the time was considering transitioning. He put that aside for a while and tried. Didn’t work. He eventually decided he really needed to live as a woman. I hear my former BIL married a biological woman and is also happy, though with a very different personality.
My sister rabidly defends both his choice and her support of it. She’s quite preachy about the issue. And she’s been alone and desperately lonely with her liberal orthodoxy ever since. She seems righteously outraged a lot. And so rigid she disallows any discussion that might lead to a politics or religion. She changes the subject or begins spouting whatever’s allowed in the permission structure of her thought bubble on the given day. She’s my sis and she’s lonely so I just smile.
None of them understand why I’d worship Jesus or vote Trump. They wonder how I managed to wander so far off the reservation. But they all seem to appreciate my ability to love them with compassion. I have a deep sense of peace grounded in living a life of simple faith here in reality. I wish them (and everyone) that simple peace and fulfillment.
It’s the TV news bunch that watches 24/7 that still thinks the news is Walter Cronkite. The rest of us have a smart phone can use a computer and realize the TV is no more than a movie screen for made up stories that woke up. From what I understand The Amish were pivotal. Want to save the world, turn off your TV!!!
Yes, Amish were pivotal! In PA alone, something like 180,000 voted for Trump and they historically don't vote. That was enough to put Trump over the top. There's a really good video on You Tube by Nick Johnson channel on the Amish voting in PA. Nick went there and interviewed the Amish and did a great job. Husband grew up in the county Nick went to, lots of Amish there and he says they NEVER voted - until now.
The Democrats fucked with their farms and found out.
The Russians made them sell raw milk and use non-GMO seeds!
The last intact Israelite [ ishi - reign - eloi ] Tribe.
I agree, although I interpret it as Isis-Ra-El, three Aryan gods denoting the Aryan majority, the Ten Tribes of the twelve. The Christians don't realize they are reading esoteric political messaging from a chronicle of a race war.
(I think your interpretation is more subtle, a valuable teaching moment to explore, thank you. My maternal line are conversos who came over from Germany to PA three years after the Thirty Years War, in 1651. We still have the land with our patriarch Einstein planted in its cemetary, some of the original "Pennsylvania Dutch".)

Deceptive demographic stat. The 65+ age group has the highest concentration of AWFLs. You can't simply assume "It's the boomers again."
American Women's Football League???
Affluent, White, Female, Liberal AKA Karen
I think some of this goes to the Mass Formation cult-like behavior that occurred during Covid.
I am a 74 y/o white, college educated female and a former Democrat. I even ran for Congress in 1992 against the corporatist Jane Harman (came in 3rd out of 7).
I was a proud Democrat associated with the Paul Wellstone crowd. Then Bill Clinton opened my eyes to the Deep State and by the time 9/11 happened I felt politically homeless.
Then in 2007 I worked for Ron Paul for president while living in Conn. Obama suckered me in because I believed he would give us Medicare for All. When I realized what a snake he was and saw the Neocon shenanigans of Hillary and Co. I swung to Trump and stayed.
But back to the cultish behavior. Even here in deep blue Los Angeles (also being a retired RN helped) I saw right through the Covid BS from the beginning. I wouldn’t be “going along to get along” with any of it even though my UCLA doctor begged me to get jabbed.
So, for me, this election seemed to fall into two general categories: the “woke” cult believing everything the MSM was saying, and those of us who were questioning authority and were not drinking their bullshit Koolaid.
The non-woke won and at my age I am extremely thankful for this.
I'm a 74-yr-old white college-educated male, who wasn't registered either way until Trump, as I knew Hillary would be same-old, same-old. Trump's presidency woke me up, thankfully. Research since then has revealed the longtime war against the American people, and humanity in general, on all levels of our existence. The real red pill is disturbingly awesome. But the tide is turning.
I watched this in my own little subset—my aunts—and believe this is the crowd who still watches the News Hour…from Cronkite days.
That reminds me - no more public funding or airwave subsidies to PBS and other propaganda outlets. Now’s the time to put an end to that monkey business.
Said the same to my brother two days ago. We were riffing about what needs defending. It is a long list!
This 100%!!!
They don’t realize how the democrat party has changed
That or...perhaps a lot of the 65+ crowd were eliminated with Covid and the jabs over the last 4 years.
It is ironic that Trump never said anything about ending Social Security; yet the Kamala crowd ate this lie up like it was candy.
What Trump did say is that he will CONTINUE Social Security; yet somehow these people never heard that. Makes me wonder where they get their news from?
And that would be truly amazing because they are old enough to have heard that talking point during every election cycle and nothing ever came of it
Exactly! But they also are still of the "normie" mindset of believing "experts," so when the Harris ads during the news have "retired nurses" saying Trump will take away their Social Security" they believe it apparently. (I don't know where they found these people or how much they paid them, but it was quite disgusting to see their "testimonies" against Trump.
This isn't true for people I know including myself.
The Progressive Elites who believed it was their Divine Right to rule us lesser humans. We finally realized, as Glenn Beck said; "We surround them."

Ever notice jobs that serve The Program pay pretty good? The people at the top install an affluent under class to take orders and run the program on the Little People. Folks who benefit most from playing the game never vote to have the board flipped over and the pieces reset.
I think that DEI money train is about to end. I am already hearing rumblings at my company (Thank God!) and the progressive idiot I work alongside is having meltdowns. I absolutely relish it.
Delicious!

Enough pimping of your Substack, "Sunny".
thank you for sharing! Have a nice day>
My wife's company has a contract with one of the Gates companies.
I could hear the heads exploding during one of her conference calls.
Hahaha!
How can any sane person believe that Joe Biden got ten million more votes in 2020 than Trump did this week? They should form a club including those who believe Epstein killed himself and that it is best that boys have their penises chopped off without notifying their parents. Regardless of their beliefs, Liz Cheney and her dad should be made co-chairs of this group of morons.
Just saw a chart of bellwether counties that stretched back to 1984, each, almost without exception, having correctly picked the winner.
Except for the year 2020, in which only two of the counties (one of them in Delaware) went for Biden.
Of course, the 2020 presidential election was a fraud and a fake worthy of Venezuela.
I saw the fraudulent in real time, watching Wiscondin returns, which never stretched beyond 9 p.m. To this day I can feel the blood pressure rise when I think of the gaslighting and censorship that tried to silence those who saw. And when I think of the Bidens, acting as if they had won something.
Jill Biden even commissioned the composing of a "Fanfare for the First Lady." Hrrrrrrrr!
Jill wore a stunning, sleeveless, red pants suit when she went to vote. Nobody fucks with the Bidens.
DOCTOR Jill already has a song about her.

Shut up.
Back in the olden days, when wondering was fashionable, I used to read history and snort and chuckle at all the stupid things people used to believe and all the obvious things they used to deny. I thought "we are so much smarter now!" Then I got a bit older and read more and I started to wonder what stupid things we are doing now that we think are the best things ever? For awhile I couldn't think of any -- but now? I can't think of a thing we are doing right. Everything we are doing is retarded.
This morning I received a Facebook message from a Portland Oregon friend who announced that she had to take her grieving body into the woods to see some mushrooms growing to ease her bodily pain Since I live in Mexico, when she said grieving body, I thought she was very ill. I was about to write her and ask her what was wrong when I read some of the responses to her post from other Portland people and then I got it. They are all grieving because of Trump's win of course. What is beginning to bother me very strongly is that these are people who are social justice activists who March in every BLM protest , every me too protest etc etc and yet as 50,000 people have been murdered i n gaza, as millions of children around the world go to bed hungry every night , as people in our own country are living on the streets , they are only grieving because Trump won. I have lost so much respect for people I once called friends. It's one thing to not like Trump. It's quite another to think that the worst thing that has ever happened to humanity is that he won four more years in the white house.
Gaza is a war zone, initiated by their own elected and vastly supported terrorist overlords who use their supporters as human shields. The rightful attribution of “murder” belongs on them and them alone. I hope you see this.
How do you feel about the IDF soldiers video taping themselves as they loot? Is it moral because they're Jews?
Warmonger. Best thing I can say about you.
That’s a compliment coming from someone as upside down as you are.
Hamas are the warmongers. Every (very generous, btw) peace for land deal that Israel has ever offered, they have rejected, because they are terrorists and anti Semites.
They will never give up their goal of total annihilation of Israel, "from the river to the sea". And they sacrifice their own women and children for this evil, sadistic goal.
The Bible is clear: God gave Israel all the land from the Nile to the Euphrates. Such a God is nothing but a Devil.
YEP!
It is ironic how the new woke is the antithesis of actual woke. I have been practicing spirituality/non-duality for many years now and the goal is to awaken from egoic suffering by letting go of all identification/narratives. The farther left the Dems are, the more intense their egoic/self identification and suffering.
And they deserve all the suffering their self righteous egos can muster
Maybe she should eat those mushrooms and end the perpetual angst. I am afraid to talk to my Humboldt County-dwelling sister; the last time Trump won, she drunkenly called me a pig, over and over again.
Or maybe she should stop taking Magic Mushrooms
Disown the swine.
With you.
Actually 1200 Jews were murdered by Gazans and an estimated 40 thousand Gazans were killed in a war that they started and many participated in.
It's more than 200,000, Bob. And as Bibi said, This is out Pearl Harbor. They knew is was coming just as the United States knew. To allow a terrible thing to happen that you could prevent is the same as doing it.
I'm doing a Christian reach out to these people. They may end by hating me, but I won't be in a worse position either way. I am trying to spread the love and share with them some of my perspective. In may be a wasted effort but it seems to be a good time to try to bring them back into the fold. Write an honest and loving letter--that's my campaign!
VeryVer - that's because too many people can't think for themselves, and by default, follow the egg-spurts.
As a young man of 35, I woke up one morning and had a very unsettling feeling. I had thought that the world was a settled place run by very smart people. Boy, was I deluded.
The Elon Musk has showed up. Maybe to a small degree?
You're conflating intelligence with wisdom.
With age comes wisdom. Sometimes.

Assbackwards indeed
For the DNC, "soul searching" consists of determining who to blame for their fall. And RFK Jr.'s directive to the FDA, should apply to the whole bloated bureaucracy in D.C.: "Keep you records, and pack your bags."
Destruction of records not a bad thing. Proven, it becomes grounds to terminate even union fed employees for cause plus a felony for obstruction of a criminal investigation.
'Obstruction of a criminal investigation' we're in line for a large size dose of this.
I have to admit that when I first read that, I thought, "yeah, right. They're not going to destroy records of their malfeasances"; kept or destroyed, then, we got 'em, eh?
Wonder why they do not ask the people who know best what is wrong.

Now we know for certain why the last four years were so wretched, so filled with incomprehensible disasters, and why we walked around feeling gaslighted. Because we *were* being gaslighted: the 2020 election was stolen. We have the proof now, in the ballot results of this election.
We've had proof - the courts have refused to hear the evidence - it's been there all along.
I always shouted from the rooftops that the election was stolen. They pissed all over our legs and told us it was rain. And so many ignorant, deluded, weak, feckless, moronic, pathetic, disgusting, should-not-have-the-right-to-cast-a-vote-they're-so-stupid, sheep, believed it. THOSE people, those MILLIONS of may they be damned to hell people, almost destroyed our country, irrevocably. As you can tell, I have so much hatred in my heart. I have no forgiveness. I hope Trump has none either. Because that will ultimately destroy us.
It was obvious on day 1. There were anomalies and outright crime witnessed and reported, videos proferred, and still, nothing was done. They finally got a woman jailed for election results denial, in Colorado. That was just last month though, so they didn't work fast enough. Imagine if they had succeeded in stealing it again this time!
I can't recall her name, but the CO lady had printouts of computer data showing how the 2020 voting results were manipulated by Dominion or Smartmatic. They didn't recognize her as a whistleblower, but as a felon who interfered with election material. Trump will pardon her soon.
"I have so much hatred in my heart. I have no forgiveness." ~ AnnR
Ann - let the hatred go, as so many tendrils of smoke to the heavens, or like a cancer, it will eat you alive.
On forgiveness - look to intention - forgive those with no evil intent. For those with evil intent - of which there are many - they need to be dispatched with extreme prejudice - with the emotionless edge of cold steel, or obsidian (h/t astera).
Hi Ron, The hatred in my heart is specifically for the evildoers. And, although many of those sheep may have been deceived by the higher level evildoers, the fact remains that the sheep DID DO evil, even if they knew not what they did. So, while I may not have complete hatred for those ignorant sheep, they do not deserve forgiveness. And the good news is, the hatred in my heart doesn't eat me alive. Because the love and goodness I have in the majority of my heart, also fuels me. But I do thank you for your words!!!!
Forgiveness is often not deserved. You forgive in order to unburden your own soul/spirit. In some cases, it may lead to repentance by the other party.
Either way, forgiveness does NOT mean exoneration for their crimes; there should still be justice and punishment; that is the role of healthy, righteous, law-keeping government.
That is why Trump's government MUST go after these people and clean house. It will bring healing to the nation and prevent *some* criminal activity in the future.
They will be held to account for their unrepented sin by the Lord God Almighty. We should have pity on them for what awaits them. Jesus says that if you do not forgive your enemies neither will the Father forgive you.
Not to give someone their wages - how utterly horrible. What injustice. Even God doesn't forgive those who aren't sorry. So many think they are better than God.....
I think you put forgiveness in the self serving category as many Christians do. Forgiveness isn’t given because of what it can do for you. When forgiveness is truly given it’s done out of the love for the other person. The love the Lord said to have for one another. No judgement in it and no self service in it.
Hatred and resentment are like drinking poison and expecting your enemy to die. Just sayin'
Nice! Ron! I've got my Big Aztec all rough and ready for this day.
Yeah, chick, don't let the bastards live rent-free in your head.
😃 Don't hold back, AnnR, tell us how you really feel! Hey, I voted for Trump, AND I was one of those who accepted the story that 2020 was a clean election.
Interesting!!!!! YOU, my dear, ARE forgiven, lol!!!!!
Never forgive. Never forget.
Let me rephrase, then: now we have a proof that is so obvious, so inarguable, so simple, that it is undeniable. See the graph of ballot totals in JHK's post. It is spreading through the alt-media and at some point will have to show up in the legacy media.
I have copies of marked exhibits in a contested election case, filed 11/25/20 in Michigan. Voter turnouts:
City of North Muskegon 781.91%
Zeeland Charter Township 460. 51%
Grout Township 215.21%
City of Muskegon 205.07%
City of Detroit 139.29%
Spring Lake Township 120.00%
Followed by 10 @ 100.00%
Documented voter turnouts for Michigan, 2020 - you get the idea.
And how was this information snuffed out from being effective by the courts? Because of media control by the Dems? Or a judge didn't want to become a target by the Dems? Interesting, this entry time of Trump as President might now become a better time. Waiting for the Dems to really blow it may have been worth it. But now Trump has to spend a lot of time and money to undo the damage the Dems created.
Meh, spend a little, gain a lot.
Hopefully the administration will appoint a commission to investigate how all that grotesque cheating occurred. It was criminally treasonous what they did. Hold onto those numbers; maybe you can testify before the commission when and if it comes to be.
Nice!
Ya forgot all the shenanigans in PA, though.
Can you get us a link of the original data Ron please? Thanks.
BoR - I don't have the electronic copy archived, only my hard copies, but it's out there. The exbibit is marked such:
Case 2:20-cv-13134-LVP-RSW RCF No. 1-14, PageID.625 Filed 11/25/20
Affidavit of Russell James Ramsland, Jr.
You'll find it interesting - an expert forensic analysis of electronic machine tabulations in Michigan - six pages of narrative and summary. His final expert statement and conclusion?
"Based on the foregoing, I believe these statistical anomalies and impossibilities compels the conclusion to a reasonable degree of professional certainty that the vote count in Michigan, and in Wayne County, in particular for candidates for President contain at least 289,866 illegal votes that must be disregarded."
Yes, 289,866 illegal votes. Have at it - start digging, good luck, you'll probably find it.
Yes, that chart alone make the case so compellingly that it can't be denied. When it comes to "fun with numbers," the KISS principle always applies, even, and perhaps especially, for the egg-heads among us. Keep It Simple, Stupid!
Or, as my beloved late Mother used to say, "Keep It Simple, Shithead!" My god, I miss my folks and their bawdy humour.
The steal lands squarely at Nancy Pelosi’s feet. I remember her in front of the cameras with a smug smile on her face saying that she promised to her followers that Trump “will not win this election. I can guarantee you that.” Biden pretty much said the same thing.
All that proof just went *poof* at some point in 2020. Covid was the perfect cover, no one was allowed to question anything in that climate.
They put a gun to the head of anyone who spoke out about the 2020 election results, and most of them shut their mouths afterwards. Those that didn't experienced lawfare, both criminal and civil.
The Big Jews allowed them to do that. This time they said no. They want us strong so we can serve them in the Middle East. A golem must be strong!
In any case, it's all good. Or a choice between good and better for the Deeps. Storms on the surface has little effect on them. An executive from Black Rock said, Both Kamala or Trump would have been good for them. Anyone who isn't "good" doesn't get in.
The gaslighting live exercise to torture the American populace into compliance began March 13, 2020. I knew the second they announced the lockdown what they were doing. It still angers me so much - I will NEVER forget what they did. The death toll has to be in the 100s of thousands. We do know Trump wasn't told, because when Pompeo announced it was a "live exercise" (a military term), Trump mumbled, "well, you should have told us." That was swept under the rug when it should have been headline news. What ensued was horrifying, with residual fallout all over the world. And it's still going on. Covid shots are still being given. People still clamor for them.
Life has never been the same since
It was a humiliation ritual .
Precisely.
The death toll - in the short term - from the Covid jabs is likely in the 1 to 2 millions range in the US alone. Under 18': about 20,000, at least.
From a friend who is a Professor of Med and immunologist.
They know what they are doing.
Yep. And now we have cancer accelerating all over the place. Just the event itself though, the people dying on unmonitored ventilators while drugged up, for $39K a pop, and the suicides from people who lost everything when they shut up all the small businesses, and the pain of people not being able to be with their dying parent, etc., the good folks who lost their jobs, all that is unmeasurable. I am so glad that there are more measurable numbers from the death jab. At least that's something.
I hope those jab fatalities keep going up...and up...
To some degree I can sympathize with the sentiment, in the case of the fanatical 'let them die in camps' jabbers, or even the idiot medics who so betrayed us through incompetence or corruption.
But to wish ill to everyone injected is to lose one's humanity: the chronically sick who simply trusted their doctors? The people who faced unemployment and homelessness due to corporate mandates, and who were jabbed reluctantly? Certainly not.
This is just one of the reasons Mike Pompeo should NOT be in Trump's new administration. The other big one is that he is a "Bolton-Cheney" warmonger! Keep him out, President Trump!!!
I predicted EVERY SINGLE THING THAT EVER FUCKING HAPPENED from the outset. No, this "lockdown" won't take "a few weeks to stop the spread", it will go ON AND ON AND FUCKING ON. Small biz permanently shut down, untold amounts of suicides, homicides, mental illness, domestic abuse(who ever reports that, anyway?) ....I saw it all coming.
And I was right. As per usual.
I was convinced early on that the CCP was responsible for creating Covid-19 in order to hurt Trump's 2020 election chances. It's been a few years now since I strongly believe that the US democrat party and the pharmaceutical industry was complicit. Hoping RFK, Jr. investigates further and exposes the traitors involved.
Trump still has 9 months remaining to bring proof of steal to courts and 2020 will be “reversed”. What that means I don’t know. I heard that from the great Mike Davis on Bannon.
Personally, I want to move on. Everyone knows it was stolen. They know it, we know it and they know we know it. Surprises me that even now on CFN some people refuse to see it. No one blinder…as they say.
Cheryl, I'm convinced CNN is comprised of actors. Anyone with common sense would know the truth about the Dems election disaster, but these liberal media hypes are still riding on the theme of "the world is going to end" routine. I wish they would give it up. I don't see how anyone can watch CNN for more than 20 seconds.
Of course they are actors/cyphers. That network has not changed in 40 years.
I think you’re right. CNN is full of clowns. It’s going to take time. I’m hopeful that the democrat party as we know it today is finished. That this is only the beginning. The younger generation is largely conservative and that is a real positive for us
Because the hardcore is so fanatical, believing every word that they utter. I think they racially overestimate their own power. For example, on election night, one of them said, After the first debate, when the American people began to realize how bad Biden's illness was..... Nonsense, we all knew how bad he was already - again, except for the true believer who wait for the Media to tell them what to believe. I think these people have forgotten the distinction, if indeed they ever knew it. Some of them actually believe their own pronouncements - as if they really are an Oracle.
I'm hoping the schools will be banned from talking politics and sex changes. Amend the constitution because schools are teaching lies, let's at least try to teach the truths as much as we know it. It's one thing to have concepts of how the universe began, but it's another thing about politics which is based on personal preferences and a political party taking over the education system.
Moving on is great, but I would love for them to prove it was stolen, only for reasons of accountability. If no one is held accountable, it will happen again. Or just even open an investigation to make them sweat. But I hope something happens.
I want them held accountable for all of it. Covid, the steal, the fear they’ve tried to instill in Americans. The treason. I despise them for the wicked people they are. I want the democrat party relegated to the dustpan once and for all. One way or another. Maybe they are closer to that end than we know. I do know that they are running scared
The old Rino-Republican party needs to die as well; there are still too many Rinos in Washington who can mess this up! We need to be in their faces constantly, letting them know we're watching their every move.
They better not take a dump without clearing it with Trump first!
And for me, it's not even a revenge thing. It's just insurance against it happening again. Although of course, if something HORRIBLE were to happen to any of them, I'd not be sad about it.
I loved seeing that awful "Dr." Jay Varma get eviscerated by undercover video. That was pretty satisfying, I have to admit.
“Justice must be done, and it must be seen to be done”.
That's akin to "moving on" from the 260+ millions slaughtered by totalitarian collectivist regimes in modern times. No. I want justice. I want retribution.
I hope they dust off Rudy Giuliani's affidavits from after the 2020 election. Tons of statements from poll workers and others about fraud being committed. Also need to exonerate attorney John Eastman, Sydney Powell, and others who were wrongfully attacked. One of many episodes after the Big Steal that need to be revisited and sorted out.
If everything they spent the last decade doing is not fully exposed, pushing shitlibs far out of the mainstream and published in history books (remember those?), they'll be back at it as soon as the smoke clears.
There can be no reconciliation without a full and honest account of what this country went through, especially us filthy, diseased subhuman unvaccinated people.
Agree, there needs to be accountability.
There needs to be retribution.
Like the Reign of Terror? Is that the kind of retribution you are hoping for?
I think he's saying "no justice, no peace". Seems legit.
No, stop projecting. That's what you people want.
Desire for retribution aside, there are reasons we put people in prison besides that. It disincentivizes the behavior in others and (hopefully) prevents recidivism. So, there's reason for it besides how angry you or I may be.
That said, I believe that the people most impacted by the mandates, and the harmful effects (sudden death, clots, myocarditis, turbo cancer) were black people who could not afford to lose their jobs.
Shitlibs poisoned minorities on purpose. They hate black and brown folx (see how cute and funny that spelling is?). Spread the word.
Idk the data on black folks losing more jobs but it doesn't appear likely to me especially since black folks eschew vaxxes. However, it was the death knell for small business owners which further exacerbated the downfall of the economy especially the
middle class. Then there are those in the military, the airlines and medical industries all further eroded by deaths and/or loss of employees where the marketplace economies suffered as well contributing to our downfall.
It doesn't have to be true, only plausible. There are no rules with these fucking people.
When there are rules they don't apply to them.
Yeah, cuz Whites aren't afraid of losing their jobs, right? And the Vax wasn't forced on Whites? And Whites weren't poisoned?
You're missing the point. Race politics is only a super fun way for libs to validate feelings when they are dishing it out. The mandates are a way to shove it back in their faces. I want to know if it feels like they're marchin' to Selma when they are on the receiving end.
Now if he can just stay alive until Jan.20.
They're not done trying.
True ^this^.
Americans just won one battle against the Fascist/Socialists and Communist/Socialists determined to destroy America that now control the Democrat Party. Unfortunately Socialists are like cockroaches--they are good at breeding and at destroying stuff, but not good for anything else. And, just like cockroaches, getting rid of Socialists and their unending destruction is a long-term battle. But November 5th was a start.
Won the battle, not the war but I sure woke up excited for our future
Me too
Conservatives forgot what real conservatism is and ended up sounding like you, dividing and dogmatic nonsense like calling other working class people cockroaches. That statement reminds me of a certain fascist nation... 😂
Y'all love Reagan but forget that the real last great conservative was Eisenhower. He was from the military unlike the later chicken hawks of the DemoCRIPS and RepubliBLOODS gangs.
https://imgflip.com/memetemplate/428569524/Dwight-D-Eisenhower
https://www.quora.com/Why-dont-the-GOP-and-conservatives-idolize-Eisenhower-the-same-way-they-do-with-Reagan-Isnt-Ike-more-of-a-pragmatic-conservative
And guess what he did? Everything opposite to that corporate actor, Reagan.
-high corporate taxes, which made them reinvest in labor and equipment instead of ca$h out (remember dummies, companies only pay taxes on profits they extract, so lowering taxes like Reagan did actually incentivizes companies to shut down factories)
-government projects like the Eisenhower interstate system (private markets don't give a shit to fix infrastructure, only to profit from it)
And so on.
Where did the real pro American conservatives go?
Same place where the real liberals went....
To fake bullshit presidents like Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Obama.... And we will see if Trump actually drains the swamp as he filled it with neocon assholes last time.
Rob, good points about the advantages of high corporate taxes that I'd never thought much about. Wasn't the top rate 90% under Ike, which JFK lowered to 70%? You can't keep lowering taxes, as Trump promises to do, without further exploding our multi-trillion-dollar deficit - especially as the country is about to lose its perch as the world's Reserve Currency. Only economic idiots could think that Trump's campaign promises of no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, and no tax on Social Security are good ideas.
Last I remember the corporate tax was 90% only above a certain amount... I think that's fair and if we had that today, high profit margin companies like Apple would not be able to hoard so much cash or funnel it out to shareholders.
Taxing tips is relatively new, the neocon Reagan did that so he could cut corporate and capital gains taxes. It's crazy, we're one of the few countries that pays some service workers less than minimum wage and assumes tipping. This shifts the burden onto the customers and off the owners of the restaurants...
As for the debt, I've always asked since high school as to who do we owe this to? The bankers and the wealthy. It's basically a way to sell off the government to finance! It's also how wars can get easy funding with the tab pushed onto the majority of Americans who get Jack shit from the industrial military complex's money pit.
I found it especially funny that the patriot missile system that we sent to Ukraine is such a piece of shit, still running on the same hardware that it did during Bush's first Iraq war. It was also notoriously unreliable back then as it is now in Ukraine and the tech behind the so called "iron dome" that Israel uses.
Meanwhile, Yemen is beating the US military with cheap drones and Iran was able to get past the iron dome with normal weapons.
They also supposedly have hypersonic weapons developed by Russia (and China??).
It shows how we are a failed empire because instead of actual productive work, we waste most of our money on corporate welfare that they cash out via stock buybacks and profits.
Perhaps the cause of all this is the tax cuts which made it easier to extract wealth from companies instead of using it to improve tech and working conditions... Cough Boeing 😂
We want to run War as a money making business. Thus real nations, Fascist or National Socialist, can defeat us in the end.
Capitalism/Communism are about matter. Fascism/National Socialism are about Man.
Yes, Eisenhower who killed hundreds of thousands of German POW's, "letting" them die of exposure. At least he deported a million Mexicans in operation Wetback. And gave the MIC speech. Some small reparations for serving the Military Industrial Complex all of his life as a stooge to his handler, Bernard Baruch.
It's a war that never ends, but we should definitely celebrate won battles.
Socialism is a fatal disease for a society.
But you'll gladly collect social security and Medicare when the time comes.
Remember, even Ayn Rand lived on welfare.
Practice what you preach.
Many of us would gladly stop being part of Medicare and Social Security. The problem is, the government won't let us...
You think it's safer to put your money in a 401k? Tell that to the people who were retiring around 2008. One of my coworkers saw his 401k cut in half. Before then, he was trying to convince me to put more in mine. I couldn't afford it cause I didn't have the disposable income. He bought his house before the prices skyrocketed since the 2000s...
Where did his 401k money go when he lost?
In the casino called Wall Street, the house always wins. The house is the big firms that can sway markets just by volume.
As much as social security sucks (compared to the systems in Europe), it's miles ahead of gambling and you'll appreciate it if you ever face a manufactured market crash where the crony bankers rob you.
I don't know about you, but I have paid a lot of FICO tax. After seeing so many corporations and people on the public dole, I am goddamn sure to want my money back the second I turn 62.
American Capitalism is a Culture of Death. Everyplace that adopts it begins to die. Consumerism, Careerism, and Feminism - the trifecta of sterility. Compare sterile South Korea with the virile North that jus sent 10,000 troops to assist Emperor Vlad in the blood lands of central Europe.
Conservatives conserve nothing except possibly their own portfolios. And the big guys are just pretending. They know it's a crock.
Your enemies are also made in the image of God. You should pray for their repentance and salvation, not their destruction. Vengeance belongs to the Lord. He will repay.
"There is nothing hidden that will not be made manifest"
This Bible quote keeps repeating in my mind especially when things seem dark.
Truth and justice are coming...
"Truth and justice are coming..." ~ Peter
Amen, my friend, amen, amen.
I think what's coming, sooner or later, is the Iron Law of Oligarchy. If you don't watch out for it, brace for impact.
Sometimes I wonder if these Democrats (who hate democracy) are even human..The armed SWAT raid (over an alleged misdemeanor) that resulted in the murder of a friendly squirrel with an audience on Tiktok enraged many of us, and Trump condemned it, but Democrats didn't care and Kamala ignored it...But it had to have sent at least a million voters to Trump...
It's only a small jump from "it's only a squirrel" to "it's only a small child". who happens to be in our way....
They killed a handicapped man a couple of months ago for something he posted about Biden. Showed up to his house, killed him, and then dragged his body outside.
Any people who a dumb enough to change their vote because a pet squirrel was killed should have their voting privileges taken away.
Ask yourself who exactly killed the squirrel and by what right..
More like, anyone who dismisses SWAT raids with guns drawn on families whose crime is having a popular squirrel on TikTok should be thrown out of the US, because he's on the side of lawless thugs...
It's pro wrestling WWE politics.
They vote on stupid shit on both sides.
The DemoCRIPS and RepubliBLOODS cater to this, instead of actually helping the nation.
https://imgflip.com/memetemplate/428569524/Dwight-D-Eisenhower
Did you see footage of the grey squirrel that hopped up on Kamala's concession podium, windmilled its tail, then scampered off?
Or only an ant - Elon Musk:
'If you destroy an ant hill because it's in the way of your road, it doesn't mean that you hate ants'.
Elon is not our friend. Very clever strategy on the part of the Planners aligning him with free speech and Trump........
What an amazing gift with words. Thank you.
There's nothing like my morning "covfefe" and enjoying meltdowns across social media. It really is fascinating to see the state of delusion these people can't be shaken from. I hope the return of 'mean tweets' opens up with a zinger. Gotta admit I was wrong about the election being dragged out for days or weeks. Makes me wonder why they just went with it and conceded. Surely there are more tricks up their sleeve to wreak havoc before the transfer.
The delusion is believing that the Trump victory won't suit the Deep State just fine.
They can turn everything and anything to account, and he gives no indication at all of opposing any of the greatest menaces to life and liberty that we face.
All their pet projects look set to roll on.
If he stops construction of the huge new mRNA vaxx factories, bans that technology, and also bans digital ID and biometric surveillance, I will reconsider my verdict.
I have heard a couple of quotes already from RFK, Jr. saying that the FDA had better stand by for heavy rolls.
We shall see. He needs to stay alive. I'd like an admission that 'warp speed' and pushing the vax was wrong. And that his 'greatest economy ever' was bullshit and nothing more than a debt jubilee masquerading as prosperity. This administration has to deliver. Things will get worse before they get better. Only retards think things are going to turn around quickly and easily now that their side "won".
I reckon that the Deep State is now just fine with Trump. Just as the Brandon regime's incompetence has led us to the brink of WW3, the military can't come close to meeting its enlistment quotas. And young virile heterosexual men won't enlist in Kamala's rainbow army if she becomes Commander-in-Chief. Electing Trump, with his MAGA army, may be the only way to avoid a divisive Draft or to stop the demented democrat plan to offer citizenship to illegals in exchange for military service. The downside is that thousands of US troops are needed by Israel to fight its war with Iran.
There is great danger in this interregnum between Nov 5 and Jan 20. Much mischief will be done, but we will survive, and then there will be must justice!
The Democrat party is in tatters, most especially the Biden/Harris/Obama front and the shadowy reptiles behind them. They deserve every consequence that's coming to them.
I don't know. I think with Trump's mandate and all, it would be pretty stupid for any little moles to stick their heads up and ask for a whacking. I am thinking all the boastful talk was pre-election. Doubt we'll hear much threats now that Trump has dominated the electorate so spectacularly. I think some of those smack-talkers were believing their own bullshit, but they've just been smacked upside the heads with a big bag of reality.
Thank you. I need to stop a-fearing…it’s been so long without hope.
I agree - and think about it, the people who helped Trump prevail, like say, Charlie Kirk and other people who took major action and got out there on college campuses, etc. - they have no fear. That's what it takes.
Miriamnae - fear is a disease. Stay fearless - you have it in you.
It’s going to get rough. Raskin and Swalwell are making threats. Basically anything they can do to keep Trump out of DC. Hopefully he rules from Mara Lago.
Ave you heard Letitia James in NYC? It is actually scary, sounds like the Gestapo or KGB.
People need to take heed.
I don't think so. I think they've been neutered. Who is going to get behind them?
Gabbard, part of the transition team, is sounding a warning about things the Biden administration is trying to do in order to hobble Trump with Ukraine and other issues. They are not going gently.
A recent report, Kamala Harris spent $1 billion on her campaign. Tragic to think that all those very rich people waste so much money to save their hineys and couldn't care less about saving their integrity by doing something that genuinely helps people.
"The shallow and sanctimonious cult conferred a fortune on its high priesthood but never did anything for the "victims" it claimed to serve."
John Leake
That “shallow and sanctimonious cult” is like the Islamic jihad front of Hamas, using their brain-soiled and corrupted supporters as human shields to protect themselves.
Remember the Bible points out in the latter days "the foolish (uneducated, common) will be made wise and wise (highly educated, elite, experts) will be made foolish"..who has been in charge of our country for so very long..the experts, the elite, the people with those letters behind their names. Few of them have any common sense.
The problem is that few of them have any religious faith or morals.
Funny (not really) how that works
The world moved on from the Middle Ages into the Enlightenment. We no longer have an aristocracy, and we have the U.S Constitution to at least partially act as a bulwark against it's prevailing. There are of course old and powerful families with great wealth throughout the world, but in addition we in America seem to have developed a new ruling class in the last few decades. They seem to be of the mindset that the peasants are being allowed to run amok, traveling to and fro, and generally doing what they want without the overseeing of said ruling class. An interesting investigation of this phenomenon was written by the late Angelo Codevilla, who explains that those with political or economic power are less and less those with abilities allowing them to move up, and more and more those who are born into it, the very definition of an aristocracy:
