Have some hope. The plan is to demoralize you, make you feel apathetic, complacent, despondent. Don’t do it. Keep standing, keep talking, most of all if you pray keep praying and fasting for your country. I am from Canada, Trudeau has had the same policies Biden has been bringing in and Harris has said she will. Look at what a nightmare Canada has become and DONT GIVE UP!

Yes Marcie…my spine is stiffened, Im in warrior mode and forging on. We must not let them see us flinching. The endurance of freedom is costly and can only be paid now with fearless efforts. We must collectively summon every ounce of courage and meet this evil force with enough political velocity to deliver a long deserved shellacking. Stay vigilant and ready for anything. We will defeat them.

Don’t fall for the polls or anything that is uttered from the mouths of the captured little blobs.

It’s absolutely designed to create fear, panic, doubt and then apathy.

We know the drill by now; don’t we? Buckle up, amour up, saddle in for the hardest ride of your lifetime.

Everyone here knows better. Yes, we are human and we can see clearly what the Blob is and has been doing for years. I cannot allow myself to be pulled down into the abyss.

Pray a lot. Pray for protection because the evil is working overtime. The Blob and its members are terrified of God fearing people.

We win if we have the courage to fight evil and refuse apathy.

Sasha sees things very clearly. The only thing I would disagree with is Obama being in charge. The Blob pulls the puppet strings and Obama and Big Mike are the leading puppets.

Yes I agree. Obama still has influence, but not nearly as much as many seem to believe. From what I’ve read, Obama wanted to have an open convention, rather than automatically anointing Kamala as the candidate.

They have been saying Biden was the best president ever, when it was obvious to the whole world he was an empty suit. Why will it be different with Kamala? More importantly, it doesn’t matter to 60% of the country as long as Trump is defeated.

This is the most realistic article Sasha has written. I have been reading left and progressive left substacks to get a truthful sense of what people think. Thousands of commenters support Kamala - hundred or thousands times more than those of us who write here. Many people openly express regret that the assassination attempt failed. Many say that even if Trump is dead or defeated, his fans should be exterminated like insects. What I am trying to say is that Obama may have played a role and has influenced what is happening in the country, but we have moved far beyond that. The country has slipped in the direction nobody could have predicted, and that movement seems unstoppable, at least at the moment.

I believe that you believe in Jesus. In view of that, you might want to reexamine your propaganda-influenced opinions about Israel.

Indeed I gave read extensively about it. In particular, “Rapture” by David Currie that explains the Catholic view of the Rapture and Israel’s relationship to it. (The end-times error that leaves the Bible Behind). In short, the prophecy already occurred and was done in 476 AD with fall of Roman Empire. He pin points the Rapture prophecies from Old Testament and shows how they were fulfilled over at least a thousand years ago.

Please read it before going into a long debate here about it. Finally, I read a great deal and have travelled extensively internationally for work (pharma) and in military; I am careful to minimize the influence of propaganda, foreign and domestic. Take care, Susan. Ps. The book is available on Amazon.

You are extremely wrong to think that I am "anti-Israel" or "anti-Zionist.

I have told my wife for years Barack Hussein Obama is overplaying his hand. Not only in his deeds, but also in his pride. Accordingly, methinks Barack Hussein Obama had to greenlight the failed Juy 13, 2024 DEEP STATE/CIA assassination of Donald J. Trump and here are the reasons for my theory of BHO's involvement:

Do you remember that time in 2016 when Attorney General Loretta Lynch decided she would take a private meeting with Bill Clinton on her plane as it was parked on the tarmac in Phoenix – while Bill’s wife, Hillary Clinton (when she was Obama’s Secretary of State), was under federal investigation for using a secret and unlawful private email server at her New York home, to receive thousands of top secret and classified government emails?

With the obvious corruption of the Phoenix tarmac meeting in mind; it is my humble opinion that our Constitutional Republic permanently fell during the 2016 presidential election cycle on July 5 when FBI Director James Comey ignored the rule of law and “exonerated” Hillary Clinton for the illegal server and the thousands of her classified emails. At that point in American history, the “rule of law” in the USA began its demise and because the constitutional provisions for remedy to the ensuing felonious acts and omissions (think FISA Court - “Crossfire Hurricane”) of James Comey, (et al) were never pursued; our Constitutional Republic has fallen and is irreparable…... and the 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago along with the four unconstitutional indictments of Donald J. Trump and the “Bragg show trial in New York”, is my proof We the People now live in a banana republic.

[However, with Saturday's (7/13/2024) failed CIA assassination of DJT, the term "banana republic" is no longer accurate. Fascist/CIA/JUNTA/Stasi is closer to the DEEP STATE than "banana republic".]

Please be cognizant: The Comey/Hillary Clinton exoneration was three weeks prior to a July 2016 Oval Office meeting orchestrated by President Barack Hussein Obama and Valerie Jarrett and attended by Vice President Joe Biden, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, national security adviser Susan Rice and CIA Director John Brennan.

According to CIA Director John Brennan’s handwritten notes, Brennan informed attendees of “alleged approval by Hillary Clinton" on July 26, 2016, of “a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.” [In other words, a scandal about collusion with Russia.] According to a CIA memo, the intent of this plan was “distracting the public from Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server.”

Later it was shown that the plan was enacted via the Steele dossier, which Robby Mook, Clinton’s former campaign director, acknowledged under oath in 2022 to have procured. So explosive were Brennan’s notes that U.S. senators needed a federal court order, issued four years after Obama’s Oval Office meeting, to wrest a copy of it from the Department of Justice. Released along with Brennan’s notes was a copy of a CIA memo sent to FBI Director James Comey and Peter Strzok, (the deputy assistant director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division and manager of FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane”), delineating the Barack Hussein Obama’s Oval Office meeting’s discussions and Obama's directives to the intelligence agencies.

That is why I posit; Barack Hussein Obama greenlighted the 7/13/2024 failed DEEP STATE/CIA assassination of Donald J. Trump.

You may very well be right. One thing I feel certain of: the shocking illegality of their actions in the last 16 years and the fraudulent cover they use is now fully exposed by the Weekend-at-Biden's campaign they thought we would go for and has Obama and all of these people running scared. They put on a good game face and, as Sasha writes, have all of Hollywood and media on their side, etc. But their lawlessness haunts them. It has to.

I've never seen a more brazen pack of theives and liars, and Obama is their leader. No party has deserved to lose more.

I was never a fan of obama's. The adulation wish my many literate friends dumped on him was just weird since they knew nothing of him except that he was black articulate clean and very ambitious. But even I, with all of my doubts about him, never dreamed in a million years what he was actually capable of doing. In an interview with Tucker Carlson this week, Senator Mike Lee positive and I see no reason to doubt him that Obama and his henchman and women wanted that a debate with Biden because they knew exactly what was going to happen and this was a good way to get rid of him. It was a soft coup with no military with guns, but it was a coup nonetheless. I am very old 87 to be exact and I've lived through a lot of presidents but I swear I have never ever thought we would be facing what we are facing now all because of one man.

Pardon me, but that's horseshit. This kid will turn out to have been another sad faced failure who, like Lee Harvey Oswald, wanted a place in history. In Oswald's case, that, combined with Secret Service laxity, JFK's demand that Secret Service agents stay off his running boards, and the miserable fact that Kennedy was laced up in his heaviest back brace that day got him killed. Of course, conspiracy nuts can't have this be true, but it is true. Any examination of the facts shows that it's true. Here are four excellent sources of information which supply any honest mind with every reason to believe that there was no sort of conspiracy, let alone, a C.I.A. led one, to kill Kennedy. I'm listing them in what is my estimation of their value to an inquirer:

"Case Closed," by Gerald Posner. Posner is a lawyer, extremely skilled at forensics, who began his research convinced that he would find strong evidence of a Mafia hit. He found none.

"Reclaiming History," by Vincent Bugliosi. Bugliosi was the man who prosecuted the Manson family. Alan Dershowitz thought Bugliosi was the best prosecutor in the United States. The only reason I didn't list his book first is that at 1,500 pages in length, it's rather daunting. Posner's book is half that length.

"Oswald's Game," by Jean Davison. I know nothing more about Jean Davison than that she had been an English instructor at a Southern college who retired when she married in the early 1960s. Her book is out of print, but used copies are readily available. Jean Davison worked her way through the twenty - six volumes Warren Commission report repeatedly before she began her psychological biography of Lee Harvey Oswald. It's a marvel. Congress should have awarded her a medal.

It's fascinating that the one wrinkle neither she nor Bugliosi could iron out is Sylvia Odio's story. They both thought it was true and not insignificant, but not greatly significant.

My fourth recommendation is Thomas Mallon's "Mrs Paine's Garage." Mallon works both forensic and psychological territory in his excellent book.

I've heard good things about John McAdams' "Kennedy Assassination Logic," but won't vouch for it because I haven't read it.

I'm fascinated by Kennedy assassination conspiracy hypotheses. Probably the most ludicrous one is that it was a C.I.A. hit. Why on Earth would the C.I.A. have wanted to kill Kennedy? The very hour he was assassinated, a C.I.A. op was meeting with a possible Castro assassin in Paris. You do know that, don't you? You do understand that Kennedy was giving the C.I.A. everything they wanted, don't you? Why would they have wanted to kill him? Lyndon Johnson had been kept completely unaware of the Mongoose endeavor ( the codename for the attempt to get Castro ). He was astonished when in his first couple of days as President, he learned about it. In private, he said to someone, "I found out we were running a goddamned Murder, Inc. in the Caribbean." He cancelled it. He did think Castro, not the C.I.A., had had something to do with the assassination.

Robert F. Kennedy did think it was possible that the C.I.A. had had something to do with it, perhaps because they thought JFK wasn't moving fast enough on the plot to eliminate Castro. At around midnight on November 22, Robert Kennedy asked then C.I.A. director, John McCone, to come out to his place in Hickory Hill, VA. Kennedy had one question for McCone: "Did your people have anything to do with this?" McCone said no. Later, RFK told people "I asked him the question in such a way that I knew that he, a devout Catholic, could not lie to me."

Let's suppose McCone did lie successfully to RFK. When Johnson shut down funding for Mongoose, why didn't the C.I.A. knock him off?

None of this will make any difference to you. Conspiracy hypotheses are the psychological red blood cells of those who cannot live without them. This may surprise you: I do not think it's impossible that the Secret Service withheld manpower from the Trump detail in the hope that it would make it easier for someone to succeed in killing Trump. That doesn't mean that any of the field agents knew about it. If that's what happened, the people responsible should spend the rest of their lives in federal prison. But don't waste your life looking for a link between Secret Service failure and Crooks. You're already wasting it on Kennedy assassination conspiracy nonsense, and you shouldn't want to scatter your energies.

You're obviously not very bright in addition to being deranged. You can't even write a properly grammatical English sentence, let alone understand what I was trying to do with what I wrote. I said you would resist the information I gave. I know your type.

Did I deny that Trump was almost killed? Certainly not. I was trying to point out the extreme unlikelihood of a Deep State assassination attempt. As far as I know, no sane person thinks there was more than one gunman. Is it plausible that the Secret Service denied Trump sufficient security in the hope that someone would kill him? Absolutely. If anybody in the government had anything to do with the shooting, that's what it will turn out to have been. And if so, that person should spend the rest of his life in federal prison.

Satisfied? No, because you have to believe in a ludicrous world wide, damned near flawless conspiracy to enslave us. There is such a conspiracy, but it's the domain of principalities and powers, not of mere human beings.

D - Day was the most intricately planned military maneuver in history. Everything was considered, no possibility was overlooked. And just about everything that could go wrong did.

Expand full comment

Yes I disagree with the philosophy of Objecivism, but Rand does have her moments. Quite frankly, my only hope for mankind is the Return of Jesus Christ as King of kings.

Accordingly, for the Biblically literate, we, (humanity), were forewarned in Biblical prophecy these current events would come to pass centuries before we began seeing them on a daily basis. For those who still believe "we can fix this" through politics, no, we can't; because it's not a temporal battle. It's an on-going spiritual war that began long before any of us existed, coming to its climax in our time - right here on planet earth. We can only choose a "side" to support and work with in that battle. But for those who fear a Living God, there is no "fence sitting" now or “do-overs” later. We must each actively choose the side of light and good, of YHVH God; or we default to the other side of darkness and evil and Satan.

Therefore, pursuant to the warnings of the Bible, if you haven't actively chosen Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God...then you are in default. For each of us, today, there are no other options; I have made my choice and His name is Jesus (Yeshua); I pray each of you who read this comment will make the correct choice. Eternity is a very long time to regret a wrong choice.”

“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with that person, and they with me. To the one who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with Me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” [Revelation 3: 20-21]

FYI: There are two (2) sins Jesus Christ (Yeshua Messiah) will not forgive: (1) Denial (blasphemy) against the Holy Spirit. [Matthew 12:31] and; (2) Receiving the MARK OF THE BEAST. [Revelation 14:9]

...you speakin' truth Carl, Amen. For those who have ears to hear. Salvation thru Christ is actually a real thing, albeit supernatural.

Doesn't it occur to you that we have a scarcity of evangelists in our time? It's not merely that our era sloughs off the kind of "platform" evangelism which was common fifty or sixty years ago, it's that even good, orthodox churches, at least in my experience, not only do not preach the Gospel but do nothing to encourage those who might have a gift of evangelism which a pastor lacks.

So, not only do we not reach the unsaved who are outside the church community, we don't reach those who are within it. That I don't understand, and am distraught about.

I have been with TFP since its earliest days as Common Sense, when it was no more than a weekly email newsletter. It is very definitely not pro-Trump, but I don't get the sense it's a Democrat propaganda sheet. It is very anti-trans ideology and very pro-Israel, and just those two things alone are enough to keep me at least for now. It is more critical of the Democrat party than you will find anywhere outside the likes of National Review and the alt-right sites. I would call it heterodox, like Bari herself. It has helped save my sanity.

I also pick and choose what I read on it; I gave up the TGIF column because it annoyed me. Fortunately, they have so much content now and so many regular and guest authors that there is plenty else to read. And I pay five bucks a month for it.

I call WSJ the Woke Street Journal. I only keep my subscription for now because I got a ridiculously low promotional rate and I read it for the Op-Ed, Arts and Real Estate sections. The "news" division is a joke. Ben Shapiro says it's left of NYT; I don't know where he got that from but I believe it. All you have to do is glance through their front page to see they are desperate to elect Kamala, like they were desperate to re-elect Biden before he dropped out. When I think how respected and respectable that paper used to be just ten years ago, it makes me sick. They are also blatantly pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel. Why the ownership of WSJ decided that America needed another Washington Post is a mystery. Maybe they're chasing a younger reader demographic, who knows. If that's the case, they have a very low opinion of young people and what they want to read.

Less than ten years ago it was a serious business-oriented newspaper. Now a recent headline on their homepage read, "Is Everyone Having More Sex Than You This Summer?" It's turned into Cosmopolitan Magazine.

It comes down to the question, are you better off today than you were 4 years ago, and if the answer is no then here is the plan to change that. That’s the message Trump and Vance need to hammer home relentlessly, because at ground level there is a growing sense of unease on the state of play. It’s about leadership and a positive message of hope that will swing the middle, and that’s what’s missing at this moment.

It’s time to quit reacting and take the offensive on creating the narrative, everything is there for the taking, illegal immigration’s impact, economic stagnation, the geopolitical situation. A laser like focus on the key issues/solutions that are driving the middle’s unease is what will swing votes past the 5 point margin of fraud the machine counts on.

You Sasha are one of those creative voices that can be a force multiplier in this effort, it ain’t over till it’s over so don’t despair. The medium is the message as Marshal McLuhan noted, you have access to both, and the gift to use them effectively.

I woke up this morning with the vision of Trump, blood on his face, fist in the air saying “Fight! Fight! Fight!!”

I have nothing but hope and a MAGA hat in a box in the back my car, just in case.

J. D. Vance said his Grandmother said ‘Despair is a sin. ‘

I shall not despair.
