I always thought I gave both sides fair consideration, but for me, everything changed with that first open, unabashed and unapologetic expression of disdain for half of America. First it was “they cling to their guns and bibles…“ followed by they‘re a “basket of deplorables.”
I never thought they were talking about me in particular, but they were talking about half of America and all of a sudden, it pissed me off so much that I wanted to be one of “them!”
My husband, now ex, and I we watching TV when the deplorable comment was made. Like you, I knew it didn't apply to me but was appalled. I turned to my husband and said that comment would cause big changes in our nation. He laughed, dismissively, at me, and called me crazy. We have since divorced. I'm afraid or nation is headed the same way.... irreconcilable differences.
I saw it live too and I heard the laughter in the audience. I knew immediately it could be the end for her, and that the tide will turn once it gets out. I still remember that exact moment. There was something profound about it.
I foresaw her defeat when she hugged and kissed Michael Brown's mother at the Democratic National Convention. And I had been hoping she'd win. At that moment, I was no longer sure. At all.
I have never owned a gun and never will and I am not a Christian. But, oh boy, when Clinton said that, it sounded just awful.
I thought it was a political suicide, but she is alive and well, was hired to teach at Columbia and heads a not-for-profit. Do the law enforcement agencies question what organizations and countries, including the US adversaries, make contributions to their company and how they are spent? All we know from publicly available info is that Bill and Hillary pay Chelsey about 1 million $$ in annual salary to manage the corrupt enterprise. But the justice system is more interested in a small hush payment to a porn star, not in Clintons dealings.
There is an old Russian proverb «ЗАКОН — ЧТО ДЫШЛО: КУДА ПОВЕРНЁШЬ — ТУДА И ВЫШЛО ". A little hard to translate, but here is a version: “the law is what the drawbar is: where you turn, that’s where it goes”. It was always true for Russia and USSR and still is. But never in my life I expected to see it here in the US.
Not impossible at all. God Almighty controls every single orbit of every quark in the universe now. God gives human beings free will to damage ourselves. It is more helpful to not damage ourselves.
my sources on the street tell me that the Democrats are planning to switch out Biden for Louis Armstrong in October. The Constitution doesn't actually say that the President needs to be a living person. More here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elJb_Inyazk
😂 makes sense; Biden has gone from corrupt, to hidden in the basement, to demented, to zombie. They started a lobotomy but stopped after finding no brain in his skull.
What's your take on 10% of Rs less likely to vote for Trump post felon status? I realize that the same poll says a higher portion are more likely to vote for him, but those guys are obviously highly motivated Trump voters and at this point would vote for him regardless. I've not seen one single maga fan criticize Trump in any way for his mounting financial footloose and fancy free approach. We all do it they say, but not at his level I say.
Maybe write that before (not after) the present president signs a "more closed" border exec order. Additionally, someone who feels the cheap malapropism spouting vainglorious provocateur Marjorie Taylor Greene is the president we all need renders future opinions from that source rather suspect I would say.
We don't need an executive order to secure the border. We're a country. Being a country means you protect your border and, up until 4 years ago, we managed to do that without any kind of order, executive or otherwise. The current administration is flying people all over our country from other places. They want new voters to protect them from the voters who don't want to vote for them.
Non-citizens, including permanent legal residents, cannot vote in federal, state, and most local elections. Some people cannot vote after being convicted of a felony.
How do you know that is truth? We have vote by mail, counting conducted in private, and States sending ballots to any person who has a US address and contacts a Federal agency. If we don’t return to in-person voting there will not be trust in Federal elections again in my lifetime. That's what happens after (2020) POTUS election, one candidate was ahead in count when we all went to bed, and was behind when we all woke up. This smelled like a bag of shit then, as it does now. In that Y2020 election, everything was vote by mail because of the scamdemic. Which meant States that had never done this before, sent out ballots to everyone, including the dead. Then these ballots were counted with plenty of social distancing, especially in deep blue precincts like Philly and other swing States. People wonder why citizens showed up in DC on J6. This is the reason.
I know that has been true. But congress was in talks not just several weeks ago to grant them the right to vote in local elections. https://nypost.com/2024/05/23/us-news/house-advances-bill-to-prevent-noncitizens-from-voting-in-dc/. I see this as a slippery slope situation. First, they start with having their residence count as part of the census. Then they follow that with the ability to influence local elections through voting It is then a short step to allowing them to vote federally. Especially since most election law is governed by the states. And states administer things very differently from each other. I work the polls in my state. I know how 'loosy goosy' things can get.
You know who hasn't said one word about the show trial. Bush. If you want to know why Trump emerged, the answer isn't anything the Democrats did, no matter how crazy. It is the serial betrayals by the Republicans.
Interesting observation. I've noted that the so called rhinos banished at least temporarily from maga like Susan Collins, Nikki, Mitch, even Bill Barr to some extent, Tucker behind the scenes, who have said terrible things about Trump (like his election lie, his fitness for office) have now all come around given that Trump is the presumptive nominee and they evidently want to continue their positions of power or in Coco Chow's husband's case, avoid another Biden presidency in order to retain at least some modicum of self respect.
Bush Jr. no longer seeks that type of power but doesn't seem to want to rock the boat too much. It's like he has no energy after those 8 tumultuous years as president that ended in economic disaster where almost everyone's home value, stock portfolio and job prospects fell precipitously. You couldn't help but notice the funerals of his mother and father. Mother - all living presidents and 1st ladies were there with the exception of the elderly Carters plus one other glaring exception - Trump! Father - all living presidents and 1st ladies present and accounted for once Don & Mel swanned in where at that moment all other leaders and 1sts looked awkwardly on at the site. Luckily he was seated on the isle so didn't have to talk with any of them and was able to make a speedy exit. She was seated next to her pals Ob & Mich with whom she was able to share some chuckles
The Democrats have to win one way or the other. Because A Lot of people want Answers, and they want Consequences, for the last 3 years. As I said the other day, I don't think The Democrats understand just how Pissed Off people are.
I think they do understand, they are desperate, and they will corrupt the election in any way they can with zuckerbucks, lawfare, phantom ballots and illegals voting In sanctuary cities to ensure Zombie Joe makes it over the threshold in November and passes the baton in December. If you think he is being manipulated wait until you see Kameltoe in the spotlight.
Despite thinking Trump should landslide this election, I believe the dems have a better dirty tricks team and will scam their way to victory. They could easily toss Joe and put Michelle on the ticket. Might as well since she has been running the joint for the last 3 yrs.
The Republican Party of “no ideas” can’t get hard core enough to give Trump what he needs- a lot of dirty tricks and ballot measures to counter the Zuckerberg assault. If Trump wins - and I pray he does- it will be on his own merits and his hero’s journey. And all of should absolutely be pissed off enough to help him.
Sasha writes: "They’ve done everything they can to stop Trump short of assassination, and they’re probably kicking themselves now for not going that far early on." This is what I fear most. They well might kill him.
She continues: "The truth is that they underestimated Trump’s courage and resolve. Trump is a fighter, through and through, and he is not giving up, even if they throw him in jail." He is Thermopylae, Masada, and the Alamo. He is all the man there is, and he will never surrender.
As I watch Trump the words of Jack London describing White Fang come to mind: The last growl could never be extracted from him. No matter how terribly he was beaten, he had always another growl.
Thank you, Ms. Stone, for assembling here such a comprehensive report of what is happening, and the current state of America political affairs.
Perhaps, but whoever stepped up -- and there would be a battle -- would likely not have the same refusal to surrender. DeGaulle once said that graveyards are full of indispensable people, but DJT is very close to that.
Democrats are fanatics and are only afraid of not being able to do enough to destroy those who oppose them. One of the most damaging things they’ve done is the demonizing of “Whiteness!” which promotes racial hatred and racial attacks on white people. This has destroyed the cohesion of our society and is making it ever more dysfunctional and ungovernable. Streeterville is a trendy neighborhood on the north side of Chicago. This white couple was attacked by wilding black teens Friday night because they’re white. This is just not working at all. This is obviously not a country.
“So a group of non-demonized yutes ran wild in Streeterville over the weekend, attacking and beating a married couple out on a date night.”
Fox 32 has the report here, but there doesn't seem to be a print report with it.
The non-demonized yutes beat the husband pretty extensively, then caught the wife and beat her badly enough that she ended up miscarrying her pregnancy. The only two arrested were a 17 year old female and a 14 year old male among a group of a few dozen claiming they "owned the streets."
“Crimesha refused felony charges so only misdemeanor charges were lodged and as far as we can tell, no one remained in custody for more than a few minutes.”
Might be worth moving (far) away from Chicago, Seva. It’s not likely to improve soon. And there was another article in the Chicago Tribune about how their public schools completely under-educate and over-spend. Some of the public schools have a 1 to 1 ratio of students to employees there.
Here’s a Second City Cop article from June 2 about the schools. We are ruled by people who are quite literally insane and this includes the federal government and much of the rest of the country so where would I go? Would you recommend Philly?
• The Chicago Teachers Union isn’t limiting its extreme contract demands to 9% annual wage increases and carbon-free schools. It also wants teacher control over curriculum in a way that could keep parents in the dark over what their children are being taught. Among the union’s 700-plus proposed contract provisions, CTU is demanding teachers be able to reject any district-provided curriculum to “choose what works best for students.” That includes any state-mandated curriculum related to “Black history, genocide and Holocaust study, Disability Rights Movement, LGBTQ contributions, culturally responsive teaching and learning standards, Reparations Won, CPS on interdisciplinary latin american [sic] studies, TEEACH ACT, Native American history, and antiracist curriculum, etc.” The demands also include a provision that “teachers shall not be coerced, retaliated against, or disciplined for using their preferred curriculum and materials.”
We can also safely assume the things that parents can't know about include "child grooming," "what's your kink?" and the ever popular "sex with a student" day.
This is all supported by Porky and the Springfield Perverts.
I’m a city person and so are you and so are our cats. We couldn’t live in a rural area. Here’s a nice song about a cat that I recently came across and remember from the sixties, many moons ago.
Wow. This blows me away. My husband and I were within 2 blocks of there 3 weeks ago walking back to our hotel from Joes Seafood. Actually we had an experience as well. Walking towards us was a young (AA) man who when he saw us, reached down into his baggy shorts with both hands and began to play with himself quite vigorously (and very obviously). As he passed by us I noticed he had a dark colored scarf tied around his face Hamas-style all the way up to his eyes. I thought he was going to hit me, but thank goodness he didn’t. We were lucky. I love Chicago but it’s ruined.
A serious crackdown on crime would have a “disparate impact” on blacks and therefore be considered “racist” and unacceptable. Heather MacDonald has written a lot about this and says this “disparate impact” ideology is destroying our civilization. That sure is the truth. Even our medical schools are being dumbed down for the sake of Equity aka Equal Outcomes.
“Editor’s Note: America is at war. This is not a traditional war, fought on a battlefield against an external enemy. It is a civilizational conflict against an internal enemy: the group quota regime, a revolutionary threat that seeks to reorganize American society around the principle of outcome equality — what the regime’s partisans call “equity.”
“This cold civil war may go unnoticed by many day-to-day, but its stakes are often as high as life and death. Here, Roger B. Cohen, a celebrated oncologist and professor in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, explains how the group quota regime has taken hold of the American medical education system and asks urgent questions about the consequences for medicine, for the sick, and for the country.”
Excellent article. In fact my husband retired recently from the practice of family medicine for many of those reasons. He stayed independent but most of his colleagues and especially young doctors are joining large hospital practices where you are an “employed” physician, and thus beholden to their rules. The “woke” mentality prevails, even to official opinions from the AMA and the AAP (pediatricians) that children should not be denied access to “gender affirming” care. He was asked to write a recommendation for a surgeon friend of his, and several of the questions involved whether the applicant cooperated with the use of gender pronouns with his current patients. The medical industry is unfortunately captured by wokism, which can only result in a downgrading of patient care and the failure of our once renowned medical system.
I’m retired but once a Mexican friend (I stayed in touch with him) at work (CNC machinery) in Chicago told me he went to see a doctor for a foot pain problem but when he saw the doctor was a black guy he felt he’d just wasted his time. Why such low confidence in black doctors? Because he knew affirmative action rigged the system to achieve equal outcomes. Ability counts for far less than having a skin color that gives you bonus points for being an “under represented minority.” And this was easily 10 years ago. Things are vastly worse now.
America is disintegrating and our whole world is in a tailspin. Only AI can save our sinking ship. No doubt about that.

They extend the hate towards Trump supports to the hate towards whites, because everybody knows that only white people support Trump due to being racist... "White Christians" also. And it's total nonsense from people who seem to have never visited a church in their life. Do they think that only whites are Christians, churches are race segregated or parishioners should be treated differently based on race?
I don't think he's terrified, I think he believes he can win this, and I'm guessing Jill tells him that every day.
He's sited the fact that he was one of the few who called the midterms correctly as evidence that he's some type of prophet.
The fact that 2024 will be totally different than the effect abortion had on the midterms, and that this will be influenced by a four year term of failing.
Oh, and get well!
And remember, Calzones on me if you stop by on your way home. I'm an easy stop off I-80 in Iowa City. PLUS, my restaurant is dog friendly.
I agree, Jon. He has all the major media on his side, as well as the three letter agencies. He also knows the Democrat machine will pull out all the votes he needs on election night.
So the only way Democrats win is if they cheat again. I love that! I've never lost... well except when the ones that won cheated. How convenient! How juvenile!
The show trial verdict seems to have hit a nerve with several Trump-skeptic conservatives such as John Hinderaker at Powerline and people at the National Review. I don't know why it took these people this long to see how dangerous the Biden regime has become, but at least it appears that many understand now the importance of defeating Biden if this country has any chance.
Even if Trump wins we are in for a long tough fight. Trump doesn't have a magic $35 trillion coin in his pocket to get us out from under our massive debt. But at least Trump gives us a chance. If Biden wins we are done.
I am so in your camp--an awakened Dem of 40+ years who left the party--completely appalled with what "the left" has done and is doing. Thanks so much for the clip of Jed Rubenfield explaining in careful terms in the ins and outs of the Trump verdict.
God is not the one who sends devils. That is the deceiver of the world who will be cast permanently into hell in due course. And a lot of things are just accidents with no angels or demons involved.
Thought provoking essay, especially because I don't spend much time thinking about how Biden and his team think. Now that I consider it, I see your point. Biden desperately wants to be the hero of the established political class, but he's likely to let their nemesis back into power in 2024, and Trump is now wiser and angrier than ever. For Democrats, Biden may go down as the biggest bungler ever to lead their party. That's quite the fall from grace.
Biden’s whole career has been a joke. He’s a grifter, racist, liar, plagiarizer, and incompetent fool that should never have been allowed to run for office.
Powerful piece, Sasha. It’s people like you, people brave enough to lose friends and family members and reputation to stand up for the truth, that keep me hoping we can beat this evil attack.
You are obviously in some considerable discomfort right now with your physical issues and now a cold and yet you still took the time and made the effort to put this article together, and narrate it. Thank you. I very much appreciate you. Drive safe!
Jed Rubenfeld is more than a lawyer talking about the case. He is brilliant and a professor of constitutional and criminal law at Yale. He is able to sort out all the elements of the case and present it as if it were a simple matter….and he promises to post more! We are fortunate.
100%. He was excellent. This was the first time I finally understood all the legal nuances of this proceedings. It also made clear that Tramp’s lawyers might not have the correct tactics or possibly did not do everything they could in his defense.
I always thought I gave both sides fair consideration, but for me, everything changed with that first open, unabashed and unapologetic expression of disdain for half of America. First it was “they cling to their guns and bibles…“ followed by they‘re a “basket of deplorables.”
I never thought they were talking about me in particular, but they were talking about half of America and all of a sudden, it pissed me off so much that I wanted to be one of “them!”
So it is, and so it shall be.

Well, I won't say that I cling.....I mean....not like they do to the gay agenda.
Congratulations welcome to a cult Democrats have one too....
The two polls to watch at battleground states and betting odds. Trump is way up in both.
The tide is rapidly turning but then our society is also rapidly disintegrating. An impossible situation.
Yep, this race against time to save the greatest country in history would make a good movie! Its a nail biter, and no one knows the ending.
I have no country now other than the Kingdom of God.
Please take your religious blather elsewhere.
Why? This is a free speech site. You can skip my comments if you please.
It's a polite request from me. If you want to preach, find a church or another site. Too bad Sasha doesn't include a mute option.
Please show some tolerance for free speech.
Why?
Not impossible at all. God Almighty controls every single orbit of every quark in the universe now. God gives human beings free will to damage ourselves. It is more helpful to not damage ourselves.

At least we had a southern border under Trump. At least we had a country when Trump was president.
Maybe write that before (not after) the present president signs a "more closed" border exec order.

So how has the EO been working out?

Perhaps, but whoever stepped up -- and there would be a battle -- would likely not have the same refusal to surrender. DeGaulle once said that graveyards are full of indispensable people, but DJT is very close to that.

Among the union’s 700-plus proposed contract provisions, CTU is demanding teachers be able to reject any district-provided curriculum to “choose what works best for students.” That includes any state-mandated curriculum related to “Black history, genocide and Holocaust study, Disability Rights Movement, LGBTQ contributions, culturally responsive teaching and learning standards, Reparations Won, CPS on interdisciplinary latin american [sic] studies, TEEACH ACT, Native American history, and antiracist curriculum, etc.” The demands also include a provision that “teachers shall not be coerced, retaliated against, or disciplined for using their preferred curriculum and materials.”
We can also safely assume the things that parents can't know about include "child grooming," "what's your kink?" and the ever popular "sex with a student" day.

Appalling situation there and no better in Philly. Was thinking more like a non-urban area.
I’m a city person and so are you and so are our cats. We couldn’t live in a rural area. Here’s a nice song about a cat that I recently came across and remember from the sixties, many moons ago.

Imagine if they fought back and harmed one of those sparks of light. THey might have been facing prison.
Wow. This blows me away. My husband and I were within 2 blocks of there 3 weeks ago walking back to our hotel from Joes Seafood. Actually we had an experience as well. Walking towards us was a young (AA) man who when he saw us, reached down into his baggy shorts with both hands and began to play with himself quite vigorously (and very obviously). As he passed by us I noticed he had a dark colored scarf tied around his face Hamas-style all the way up to his eyes. I thought he was going to hit me, but thank goodness he didn’t. We were lucky. I love Chicago but it’s ruined.
A serious crackdown on crime would have a “disparate impact” on blacks and therefore be considered “racist” and unacceptable. Heather MacDonald has written a lot about this and says this “disparate impact” ideology is destroying our civilization. That sure is the truth. Even our medical schools are being dumbed down for the sake of Equity aka Equal Outcomes.
“Editor’s Note: America is at war. This is not a traditional war, fought on a battlefield against an external enemy. It is a civilizational conflict against an internal enemy: the group quota regime, a revolutionary threat that seeks to reorganize American society around the principle of outcome equality — what the regime’s partisans call “equity.”
“This cold civil war may go unnoticed by many day-to-day, but its stakes are often as high as life and death. Here, Roger B. Cohen, a celebrated oncologist and professor in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, explains how the group quota regime has taken hold of the American medical education system and asks urgent questions about the consequences for medicine, for the sick, and for the country.”

Excellent article. In fact my husband retired recently from the practice of family medicine for many of those reasons. He stayed independent but most of his colleagues and especially young doctors are joining large hospital practices where you are an “employed” physician, and thus beholden to their rules. The “woke” mentality prevails, even to official opinions from the AMA and the AAP (pediatricians) that children should not be denied access to “gender affirming” care. He was asked to write a recommendation for a surgeon friend of his, and several of the questions involved whether the applicant cooperated with the use of gender pronouns with his current patients. The medical industry is unfortunately captured by wokism, which can only result in a downgrading of patient care and the failure of our once renowned medical system.
I’m retired but once a Mexican friend (I stayed in touch with him) at work (CNC machinery) in Chicago told me he went to see a doctor for a foot pain problem but when he saw the doctor was a black guy he felt he’d just wasted his time. Why such low confidence in black doctors? Because he knew affirmative action rigged the system to achieve equal outcomes. Ability counts for far less than having a skin color that gives you bonus points for being an “under represented minority.” And this was easily 10 years ago. Things are vastly worse now.
America is disintegrating and our whole world is in a tailspin. Only AI can save our sinking ship. No doubt about that.

They extend the hate towards Trump supports to the hate towards whites, because everybody knows that only white people support Trump due to being racist... "White Christians" also. And it's total nonsense from people who seem to have never visited a church in their life. Do they think that only whites are Christians, churches are race segregated or parishioners should be treated differently based on race?
Pre-genocidal rhetoric.
How about the murder of a 3 year old boy in a grocery store in Ohio?
I don't think he's terrified, I think he believes he can win this, and I'm guessing Jill tells him that every day.
He's sited the fact that he was one of the few who called the midterms correctly as evidence that he's some type of prophet.
The fact that 2024 will be totally different than the effect abortion had on the midterms, and that this will be influenced by a four year term of failing.
Oh, and get well!
And remember, Calzones on me if you stop by on your way home. I'm an easy stop off I-80 in Iowa City. PLUS, my restaurant is dog friendly.
I agree, Jon. He has all the major media on his side, as well as the three letter agencies. He also knows the Democrat machine will pull out all the votes he needs on election night.
So the only way Democrats win is if they cheat again. I love that! I've never lost... well except when the ones that won cheated. How convenient! How juvenile!
Pretty much, yes. Not only do they have to cheat, but they have to lie too.
He has 47% in the bank. All he needs is 4% from harvesting.
The show trial verdict seems to have hit a nerve with several Trump-skeptic conservatives such as John Hinderaker at Powerline and people at the National Review. I don't know why it took these people this long to see how dangerous the Biden regime has become, but at least it appears that many understand now the importance of defeating Biden if this country has any chance.
Even if Trump wins we are in for a long tough fight. Trump doesn't have a magic $35 trillion coin in his pocket to get us out from under our massive debt. But at least Trump gives us a chance. If Biden wins we are done.
I am so in your camp--an awakened Dem of 40+ years who left the party--completely appalled with what "the left" has done and is doing. Thanks so much for the clip of Jed Rubenfield explaining in careful terms in the ins and outs of the Trump verdict.
That's a time honored tradition. Some of us older folks wanting to hold on to the good old days.
Look at pictures of Trump and Patton and you wonder if Patton came back as Trump.
Be extra careful when it's time to go home. Err on the side of caution. Praying for God to send angels to protect you from any further mishaps.
Would be preferable to the devils he's currently sending.
God is not the one who sends devils. That is the deceiver of the world who will be cast permanently into hell in due course. And a lot of things are just accidents with no angels or demons involved.
Gods not involved in this election. Stay on topic.
God is involved and cares about everything.
Thought provoking essay, especially because I don't spend much time thinking about how Biden and his team think. Now that I consider it, I see your point. Biden desperately wants to be the hero of the established political class, but he's likely to let their nemesis back into power in 2024, and Trump is now wiser and angrier than ever. For Democrats, Biden may go down as the biggest bungler ever to lead their party. That's quite the fall from grace.
Biden’s whole career has been a joke. He’s a grifter, racist, liar, plagiarizer, and incompetent fool that should never have been allowed to run for office.
Powerful piece, Sasha. It’s people like you, people brave enough to lose friends and family members and reputation to stand up for the truth, that keep me hoping we can beat this evil attack.
Thank you Ms Stone,
You are obviously in some considerable discomfort right now with your physical issues and now a cold and yet you still took the time and made the effort to put this article together, and narrate it. Thank you. I very much appreciate you. Drive safe!
Jed Rubenfeld is more than a lawyer talking about the case. He is brilliant and a professor of constitutional and criminal law at Yale. He is able to sort out all the elements of the case and present it as if it were a simple matter….and he promises to post more! We are fortunate.
100%. He was excellent. This was the first time I finally understood all the legal nuances of this proceedings. It also made clear that Tramp’s lawyers might not have the correct tactics or possibly did not do everything they could in his defense.
