I am thinking about the days following November 5th, when the egregious edifice for malfeasance the Uniparty has constructed is likely to be grinding toward a conclusion in counting (or more likely miscounting) the votes – legitimate and otherwise.

When a winner is declared some days or weeks later, half of this country is going to be the most obdurately pissed off this nation has ever experienced – at least since the First Civil War.

If Trump miraculously overcomes the colossal chicanery arrayed to keep him out of office the opposition will be less emotionally disciplined and more likely to commit impulsive acts of mayhem. If the Uniparty wins the opposition will be less spontaneous, but more serious in intent. A demographic that includes many more hunters and ex-soldiers will have experience and skill sets better suited for planned operations. Neither scenario is to be hoped for.

Either way, it would be fatuous to suppose that the opposing sides can possibly be reconciled by the new regime. How do we, as individuals, expect to react to the election’s outcome, and to those who cannot accept it? I know I would/will loathe a new Uniparty administration and expect the very worst, up to and including the complete demolition of any vestige of democracy and the imposition of a totalitarian state.

Most of my friends are well-meaning old-fashioned liberals, who would/will be thrilled with a slightly black, woman president (as they were thrilled with Obama) and just as oblivious to the inevitable betrayal that will follow. When they realize that the Virus X Pandemic Lockdown is permanent and that their shiny new plastic CBDC card enslaves them to the wishes of the ruling class it will be too late to resist its total control of the lives of all of us.

My relationship with those liberal friends, who have conscientiously absorbed the official Narrative crafted for them by the Uniparty is extremely delicate these days. Their credulity is no harmless foible; it is enabling the destruction of this nation. If their side is declared the winner I will be unable to keep from feeling contempt for their complicity. If they smirk and gloat over winning, I will necessarily despise them, along with the despotic regime they have put in power.

They already bitterly resent my refutation of their beloved narrative, and may well hate my guts if Mr. Trump prevails. In that event, there can be no reconciliation, no pretending that they are still “good patriotic Americans.” They will have applauded the destruction of our civil liberties, embraced every sort of falsehood, and pitched in to help construct the prison in which we nearly found ourselves permanently incarcerated.

Those who think this nation was truly reunited after the Civil War have never lived in the south. Many Southerners never willingly rejoined the union, but just lived their lives in occupied territory. It’s arguable that the only actual benefit of Lincoln’s having preserved the Union was to avoid having a permanently hostile state at its southern border.

There are currently active secessionist movements in twelve US states, in addition to regional secessionist sentiment in much of the country. After the next Inauguration Day will you want to share a country with those who have trashed everything this nation once stood for? There is much to think about.

I think that the breakdown of camaraderie over the last twenty years is because of the 2008 election and beyond. When Obama promised “Change”, I do not believe the people did not understand that he meant destruction of American values. American people, up to now, have been independent individuals who want control over their lives. The Left, since Obama, has done everything in their power to undo this principle, creating a country that is dependent on the government. Think of the difference between today and JFK;

“Ask no what this country can do for you, Ask what you can do for this country.” What a difference.

I was living in Westhampton Beach, NY when Obama was running. He was on video talking before a group of veterans and he said he supported “Medicare for All” for a health care program. “Everybody in and nobody out.” Paid for with a deduction from our paychecks just like SS.

Then after he got elected he did a 180 and his first meeting as president was with the head of AHIP (Americas Health Insurance Plans) to develop the ACA which would INCLUDE the for-profit health insurers. Just eliminating them as blood-sucking middlemen would have saved Americans a fortune for health care. Plus Americans, with Medicare, would be able to change jobs and move without thinking about healthcare coverage.

So then some members of Congress begged for a Medicare buy-in and Obama personally killed that bill.

What Obama did with healthcare proves he is bought and paid for.

Then “we tortured some folks”, but no indictments for THAT! “We need to look forward, not back.”

As to Biden and Harris with Israel, Israel has been given a blank check with no strings attached. There is no difference between Harris and Trump on Israel. Our Secretary of State, Blinken, is a dual citizen for God’s sake!

As I go to vote, I am wondering, who is least likely to continue the wars? Who is least likely to provoke WW III? Who would be the most open to listening to what the majority of the American people desire? And who has the biggest record of lying, corruption and criminality?

I have to vote for Trump.

Lieberman killed the public option. M4A wasn’t an option when ACA was being debated.

As for Trump, he has concepts of a plan.

Harris is a part of the Administration that is actively trying to get a cease fire in place. Can’t say much about her stance which I hope is different from Biden’s. Biden is pro-choice but Harris is far better at campaigning on it.

Why should we trust Trump on looking after the US’ best interests on any of these?

Expand full comment

M4A makes more sense at the state level…that’s how Canada does it at the provincial level. All of the revenue necessary to fund a M4A program is currently being spent on health care in states like Massachusetts and Vermont…and yet they don’t have M4A programs?!? And the kicker—Massachusetts and Vermont currently run health care programs and the state workers aren’t in it!?! WTF???

Why? Medicare right now is national. Seems to work well for our parents and grandparents. Does it need to become state-based? Why in the world? The VA, another model, isn’t state-based.

Why would it be so hard to lower the eligibility age by 5 years say every couple years? Yes we’d have to figure out funding. But it’s possible. And would save $.

Expand full comment

Exactly, which is why we have M4A!!! Your attitude is why we don’t have M4A and what Republicans were hoping people would do in 2010–nitpick the people trying to elicit change in order to maintain the status quo. Vermont already runs a health insurance program and the people in the state support M4A—-so focus on the national level!! /sarc

It wasn’t the “change” that alarmed me, it was the “Fundamental Transformation” phrase that made my hair stand on end!!!!

Sadly, not one news source asked him for CLARIFICATION! Mr. Obama, what exactly do you mean by your chilling statement?

More right wing amnesia, or willful blindness. Reagan also used the term Fundamental Transformation during his campaigns for president in 1976, but more broadly in 1980.

Expand full comment

Maybe you can show that your contention is true.

Based on the provided search results, there is no evidence to suggest that Ronald Reagan ever used the term “fundamental transformation” in his presidential campaigns. The search results do not contain any quotes or mentions of this specific phrase attributed to Reagan.

Reagan’s presidential campaigns focused on themes such as reducing government spending, lowering taxes, and increasing national defense, as well as his vision for a more conservative America. However, the term “fundamental transformation” is more commonly associated with his successor, President Barack Obama, who used it to describe his healthcare reform efforts and broader policy agenda.

It’s worth noting that Reagan’s rhetoric and campaign messages were characterized by his emphasis on traditional American values, limited government, and individual freedom, rather than a focus on transformative change. His presidential campaigns were centered around his “Reagan Revolution” platform, which aimed to restore American prosperity and confidence through economic and social policies.

Context is important when Obama used the term fundamental transformation in one speech.

I graduated from college with a business and liberal arts degree during the Reagan era. He might have run on those traditional values but his administration was anything but. It featured people who had an ugly vision for the country. From James Watt to Anne Burford Gorsuch they had little interest in governance and proceded in wrecking the agencies they were tasked in running. Hence from EPA, Iran Contra to the Savings and Loan Crisis the most corrupt administration since teapot dome with the convictions of over 100 members of his administration. A far cry from previous normal Republican administrations like Eisenhower, even Nixon and Ford who ran on and exuded those same traditional values and didn’t disparage government.

The Path Forward: Build and Balkanize

Andrew Torba, November 10, 2022 https://news.gab.com/2022/11/the-path-forward-build-and-balkanize/

In light of the clown show that was the election on Tuesday I wanted to share some of my thoughts on what I see as the path forward from here. I made a post on Gab yesterday that got tens of thousands of engagements both on and off Gab. I think it’s important to analyze why this post resonated so widely and where we go from here.

I see everyone on the right fighting about Trump vs DeSantis for 2024 and I just laugh to myself. The presidency in 2024 is a pipe dream, with DeSantis or Trump on the ticket. To be frank I don’t know if we’ll ever see a Republican president again. Millions and millions of illegals pouring over our border and being distributed to key swing states. An electorate trained to believe that hundreds of thousands of mail in ballots appearing is normal. Demographics is destiny. He who controls the machines controls the outcome. We didn’t fix 2020 and we didn’t build the wall so don’t expect another “free and fair” election.

Well, I commend your forbearance with your leftie friends, though maybe not your prudence. I abandoned two of my own longtime friendships in 2020-21 because I intuited that civil war was coming sooner or later, and already by then, "woke" people were SNITCHING on their non-social-distancing neighbors everywhere from California to New York and points in between.

Podcaster Josh Slocum last year said to discern friendships this way: Ask yourself: If our government goes full Stalinist, would this person report me to the authorities?

If you have any doubts about the answer to that question, then you scratch that person out of your life, immediately and totally.

Originally the KKK was a reaction to the carpet baggers and post war occupation of the South. The cruelties imposed on the South were considerable.

Like many organization founded for good and righteous reasons, it was co opted by evil. Kind of like the present government and to be fair most governments in general.

That is on a whole different level than simply saying "Kill them" without any clarification or context. When you said "Kill them" I took it to mean you mean literally kill people because of their political views--and if I took it to mean that you can better believe other people took it that way as well, and some of them might very well be unstable enough to feel that they have a right to kill others for that reason. There is a story about a medieval king of England who kept butting heads with the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket. One day in frustration he said in front of his knights, "Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?" Immediately four knights got up, grabbed their weapons and went to the cathedral where they murdered Thomas Becket right in front of the altar. Oh, the king was very, very, sorry when he heard that. "I did not intend for you to do that!" he said. Nevertheless, the words were said, "Who will rid me of this troublesome priest." Did not matter what he intended, it was how those words were interpreted. When you say "Kill them", you likewise may be unleashing something you may not intend. The person who invades my property is dangerous, yes, and I do have a right to protect myself WHEN it happens, not before; but the person who says that they are my friend yet goes around talking loose (as my dad would put it) is even MORE dangerous because I am not expecting them to be so. I have studied the French and Russian Revolutions and I know how the mobs turned on each other and did not stop killing even after their "enemies" were all dead. "Kill them!" is something Robespierre would say--and he himself ended up on the guillotine. So be careful--do not say anything you do not intend or which you do not intend others to do.

Tam, lets review a few things:

The Dems wanted to put all the non vaxxed in gulags, dis respect their bodily autonomy, hold them down and forcibly vax them, take their wealth, take their jobs and persecuted them literally. They did so in Australia, in England and in the US. They built those camps in Aussie land you know? And they certainly were planning such in NY state under Witchy Woman Ho...

Your 'choice' was vax or lose that job. No no you weren't 'forced'. You WERE COERCED which is against the law, to take an EXPERIMENTAL jab!!! If you don't agree to that, to become an experimental guinea pig, you will have to give up your career. Suffer economically, pay a daily fee for being non vaxxed. Obey, obey obey, you have no choices!!

The Protestant churches and the Catholic mainstream agreed.

But, I have not forgot what was said and done, and as a proud NON VAXXED, I survived it. There has been NO apology given by liberals, they refuse to discuss the vax OR admit how badly the non vaxxed were treated.

But I learned about liberals, oh I did.

You and your ilk, Tam, were likely a supporter of such evils either by going along and not saying anything against (so supporting) or actually vocally agreeing enthusiastically with such - and participating in it by jabbing vaxxing and boosting on schedule. Grandparents would not see grand kid if not jabbed, families were divided and some don't speak today. And why/what fore? Control. You can't let others live and let live and be, because you have a pathological need for CONTROL. Weak people want control and want to be controlled so they can 'feel safe'.

Strong, independent self reliant people? They don't want or need to be controlled.

We know now, the jabs were bad. Turbo cancers, myocarditis, sudden deaths, blood clots of white nasty gunk, rare autoimmune diseases, babies born to jabbed moms that have rare heart conditions, or died shortly after nursing from mom's breast, increased in uterine / period issues...increased deaths of YOUNG people (not old) by the numbers. Athletes dropping on the pitch, on the field, while running marathons...health people by all counts. Right in front of your eyes.

But jabbed and boosted to be 'free' in society don't see that.

I could go on and on.

Because you and your ilk will NEVER admit you did something so vile to yourselves AND TO YOUR CHILDREN because you were had, conned. Now you want all children jabbed as well as yourself. And you wanted to inflict your vileness on those who disagreed, because of various reasons - most including a healthy distrust of the Gov't based on history of medical experiments on the populace or disregard for the lives of the people.

Why did you do it? Why do you continue to believe? Because you believed completely in the STATE. You didn't want to face loss of privileges' social approval, travel, jobs etc. You could not be convinced of the opposite or be open to different views. Now you reap what you sowed, and you are astonished, upset, and worried about your skin, about maybe being held to some standard of accountability.

You abandoned your teachings - completely giving yourselves over to a FEAR OF DEATH and loss of material wealth, of social approval.

Which I may say to a person of faith, there should be no fear of dying! Dying is at God's hand and the appointed time is God's time, not yours. Don't believe in God much, that's okay - you still can't predict your moment of death or the way you will go. Ask the people who drowned in the Bayesian Yacht capsize in a freak weather accident...they certainly didn't see it coming, did they?

So don't worry so much about it, and start living instead of fearing!! Make your own decisions not based on what others tell you to do! Ask Questions, always!!

Because you have no right to force or tell others what to do, in regards to their bodies or their thoughts. But somehow, liberals think they do. Control again. No God given rights.

That makes you a liberal, a clear and present danger as a thinking being to a free society, to free discourse and discussion. Indeed you become a threat my very life and well being.

I will not be made a slave, I will not relinquish my freedoms, go to a camp, or gulag or shut up so you a liberal can feel 'comfortable' or 'forget' what you aspired to do to me and mine. Which was nothing less than that 'kill them all' you so protest now.

For I was born a free person, with GOD GIVEN, not man made freedom of choice. And God has said 'Be not afraid for I am with you'. And 'Be Still and Know that I AM'. And you and yours stand firmly in opposition to such ideas, church goer or not.

So, while I can, I live and let live. But when I can't? Defend, defend, defend and with force should I need to.

And when the liberal cries out, for help, I won't have any sympathy as they caused it all through their massive blindness and their believe in the power of the state and in the insignificance of GOD.

How are those liberals faring in Ashville? And by the way, who's helping all those people in NC who are cut off and who are curiously mostly conservatives of the type you so fear and dislike? Who is cleaning up the bodies? Not FEMA. Not our National Guards. (they were sent to help Irahell and the Ukies), not our Military (they were stood down).

No, help is coming from small Private citizens, many, mostly all even, conservatives, who are not liberals...but who care for those around them because they can't sit and watch and not help.

By the way here in the Sunny Gulf Coast, FEMA is actively obstructing poor people looking to get their belongings out of homes, not supplying food and water and other wise being a total waste of space to the people attempting to help.

They have it all on film. National News won't report it however. Congress Critters are silent. Even my Governor hasn't said a peep.

This is what liberalism and liberal mind set gets you. Control. No Freedom of thought, of mind or of speech. You get that 1984. You get Animal Farm (4 legs good, 2 legs better) hypocrisy.

And your and 'oh noes they want to kill everyone' like the French Revolution is so amusing. What other reaction do you expect when people are so ground down and they see that their government is actively trying to KILL THEM? Yup. Common sense.

And yes Jesus did say turn the other cheek, but Jesus did not say to be meek to everything, condemn the sin, pardon the sinner.

Jesus had his limits: After all he took up the Whip in the Temple to beat the Money Lenders...

The only reason Kamala can't help them more right now is because Republicans are cheap bastards. FEMA money ran low because Republicans don't support migrants enough.

Kamala loves the people of Appalachia and wants what's best for them. And if her donors get a few lithium mines by relocating the people of Appalachia by just a few miles, everyone is better off because the climate will be better.

No, that would be God, as a warning to America for turning away from Him and toward other gods, be they money and things or pagan deities (e.g., Moloch, Isis, Ba'al, Gaeia, etc.). He promises to curse such people as us, who claim to follow Him but don't, with stupid, childish, openly wicked leaders until they turn back to Him.

Expand full comment

No, until WE turn back to Him. The wicked leaders are already lost.

We're responsible for electing evil leaders, John. As I've said before, the likes of Biden, The One, the Clintons, the Bushes, and --- should she win -- Harris, the literal Whore of Babylon are the expected symptoms of a culture in decline because we no longer truly try to worship God. For example, it's no longer "may God bless America," but a peremptory order: "God bless America" -- with an implied "or else." That ain't how it works. We're being reminded of this every day in hopes that we'll finally get the message. The Establishment hopes we won't until after the Whore wins because then it will be too late to stop them.

Benjamin Netanyahu has told “Joe Biden”... that if the blob engineers a phony victory for Kamala Harris, he will blow up the oil fields in Iran...

So? If Harris is installed via rigging the election, then it would seem that anything the Israeli's may do is secondary. In the event, what "pieces" would have to be picked-up? Assuming the destruction of Iran's oil production occurs (with the assumption that such an event would greatly spoke oil prices to unaffordable levels) then would this not provide even more reason for the government to force EV's and "renewable energy" down our throats? I honestly do not get it, though I'm sure there will be many who will step in and "educate" me on what James is trying to say.

I have learned a bitter secret during the Biden years and I believe that the Mob has figured out the same thing. That is, the conversion to sustainable energy is impossible without significant reduction in the standards of living. Politically speaking, it is an impasse, much like abortion. If you have read The Long Emergency, JHK has explained exactly why sustainable energy just will not work and as oil subsides, serious contractions in lifestyle are going to happen. Suggest the movie “Planet of the Humans” produced by Michael Moore.

Do not become a denier, ignoring the obvious declines we are facing.

What's so maddening is that the declines are intentional. Obama said he wanted to make America less white and less successful. And here we are.

Yes. When he said he wanted to "fundamentally transform" America not one really questioned him. "What exactly do you mean by that ?" Many of us had a pretty good idea but were cowed. 16 years later......

Well, some of us knew he was a Muslim Marxist right off, and we remember his "your neighborhood is too white" philosophy very well.

Plenty of people questioned him. Problem is, they were quickly labeled"racists" and "right-wing extremists" by The One and his media flunkies, so most Americans didn't bother examining the matter.

Aha! One of the weaknesses of the conservative side is they do not vote. Trump said that only 16% of Evangelicals vote. This disaster may be a huge incentive for 90% of these folks to vote against Harris and the Mob.

The rapture is coming, whether you want to believe it or not. After that, the world goes into more chaos than we have now. The tribulation starts, lasts for 3-1/2 years, and kills three-quarters of the world's population. The rapture is your only escape. But continue to choose the broad way of destruction.

10/04/24: "I expect to see a few Tim Walz masks on the little goblins begging for Kit-kat bars the night of October 31."

Not to worry. The DNC-Regime-Media (MSNBC / CNN / NBC / ABC / CBS/NY Times / NPR / State Department / CIA / FBI / Department of Homeland Invasion By Illegal Aliens) within 24 hours of the "debate" made Walz into a Non-Person.

Not another word will be said about him unless it's an attempt to frame him --- claiming that the man who beat up Kamala Harris's husband's then-girlfriend was actually Walz, not the First Gentleman: Douglas-Harvey Weinstein-Emhoff.

IDK, the Biden – Harris blob have a funny way of expressing their “anti-Israel“ bias by signing megaton checks to Israel thus allowing them to continue blowing up small children, men and women of the Lebanese or Palestinian persuasion.

Every drop of blood shed in Gaza and now Lebanon is on the heads of Hamas and Hezbollah and their supporters and enablers. That means you.

They're doing the same thing in Lebanon. Dropping leaflets telling the people to flee and then bombing them on the road. And/or start bombing them before the appointed hour.

Waltz like every politician is just an actor. I'm astounded people don't realize this at this point.

Remember when Obama ran on Hope and Change, promising to end the wars that Bush lied us into, and then proceeded to bomb Pakistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia? They are all puppets, they have no free will at all. They follow orders, and make excuses for why they do.

The only difference between what puppet is "elected", if they are elected at all, is what lies they come us with for whatever they are ordered to do. It's been this way for 30 years, at minimum.

Why wring your hands about how bad of a puppet is being presented? Don't you like the theater show??

Answer, the Democrats are owned by the Jewish contingent. Even when the Woke nuts attack Israel here, the Jews will vote Democrat. The federal democrats will split, some supporting Israel, some Iran. John Kerry, for example, has been a leader of the support Iran club. Dems in Muslim areas, such as Michigan and Minnesota, sing a different tune. Right now, both sides are sympathetic to Israel so no changes coming anytime soon.

Yes, both parties are owned by Jews. That's a good thing, right? So why are things so bad?

kind of makes you think jews are the problem.

Expand full comment

Jews are parasites. Since the Diaspora, they move into a country and with their ethnocentritic culture and respect for education perform well. They do not assimilate and are discriminated against as a result. They came to the USA in hordes as our liberal culture mostly leaves them alone. Their primary allegiance is to the Jewish culture, religion and leadership, not to a country.

The UN was smart to give them a country of their own where they will defend the land, the country as well as their culture and leadership. Their rallying call for centuries was to return to Jerusalem. Zionism is just a recent edition of that cry.

The Jews will never be beaten in Israel. Watch for the advance of the Abraham accords after Iran’s impotence is shown. Israel will help the Arabs in their quest to harness the desert for agriculture, the Greening of Arabia.
