It’s hard to believe that we’re living through this moment in history, made worse by the angry mobs showing up in New York to taunt and attempt to coax Trump supporters into violence, just so that they can prove all of their madness has been justified. How petty and gross they are, especially in the nonstop television coverage for ratings.
The Democrats have manufactured their own crisis for seven years and they’re dragging the country through pain and polarization just to stay in power. They need Trump to scare people to the polls. But how long can that last? Sooner or later, it’s all going to collapse. At least we have something to look forward to.
I miss the Left I used to know. I miss when they were decent and sensible people instead of a fanatic cult throwing fits when they don’t get their way. They are the ones who can’t control their rage and anger. They have lost their minds and lost their way.
This day in history will always be a reminder of what happened to them. This indictment shows the world who THEY are - with their ongoing show trials and their mass hysteria.
I will do everything I can to ensure their loss in 2024.
Some of the loss of sense can be seen from what the Democrats choose to defend. Example? Drag shows. They are exhibitions of men dressed as women, usually in the most objectified, tasteless and demeaning clownish outfits and makeup possible. How is this different from the minstrel shows of a century ago - white men dressing in blackface and demeaning, cartoonish costumes?
Hey, I got another one for you: George Floyd. Man with a criminal record who as likely as not died of Fentanyl overdose.
What were they rioting over before Kyle Rittenhouse? Well, police shot Jacob Blake. Why were they there in the first place? Well, Jacob Blake was raping his ex-girlfriend who had a restraining order against him and disobeyed the cops. That's why they were rioting and destroying Kenosha.
But hey, did you hear about Eunice Dwumfour? She was an African American state congresswoman. She was shot outside her residence. She wasn't a rapist. She wasn't a criminal. And nobody cared. Nobody rioted. Nobody said "Remember Eunice Dwumfour! Say her name!"
George Floyd died as a result of a drug overdose. The bodycam footage is available for review. He resisted arrest for a while, quit obvious he was very high drugs.
The "murder" of three children and three adults in a private Christian school in Nashville Tennessee carried out by a deranged individual was not in anyway shape or form "political" it was an attack by one who lashed out against what "they" believed caused "their" confusion with truth.
It is really telling you'd even bring "politics" into such a event to "provide cover" for "Audrey Elizabeth Hale" a 28 year old "woman" who took the lives of people who had "zero" to do with your "insane activist bull shit" trying to right a wrong done by a mentally unstable individual who couldn't deal with the reality/fact that she is a she, not a he or him.
Regardless of Floyd's drug use, kneeling on a neck for 9+ minutes was stupidity. I get the frustration LEO's deal with, having to interact with the worst our society produces on a daily basis. I can even understand a sucker punch now and then, but 9 minutes is a long enough time to rethink actions and that action took down 3 other cops.
Kneeling on the neck was an approved procedure. He was a large man who was resisting arrest and he needed restraint. He claimed getting in the SUV was claustrophobic, but he had just got out of a minivan. He was high and out of his mind. The autopsy revealed that Floyd died of heart failure, not asphyxiation.
I never said Floyd died of asphyxiation. There are always procedures for getting control of a resistant arrestee, but in the video Chauvin continued to kneel on Floyd after it appeared he became non-responsive. There were 4, trained, male LEOs, one of which protested the situation.
Chauvin continued to kneel on Floyd's back until Emergency personnel arrived to take charge of him. He died of heart failure at some point. So-called "experts" claimed they could tell by the video when he died, but I've seen people die. Some die violently and some simply go to sleep.
Truth is the officers tatic was widely used across the country without issue, Floyd had ingested enough narcotics to kill himself. But there was a perfect scenario to launch the revolution we are currently in with the American Marxist. Don't BS yourself we're not, we are.
The trial had guilty written all over it from the start, there are no juries of ones peers, thats BS.
Just watch what occurrs this summer......again but stay safe.
True enough. As for the Marxist revolution in America, it started in the 1850s with the arrival of German Marxists. Actually, there was a Communist League in the US in 1847. The founders of the Republican Party were utopian socialists, Marxists and outright communists. Horace Greely was a utopian.
I don't think this is a reasonable way to subdue a suspect either, but it didn't kill him. It's what Chauvin was trained to do, probably by the IDF, and I don't agree with having the IDF train US police officers - they are trained to see all of the public as "the enemy" - we're not.
I know the optics were bad, but you have direct evidence. Our "news" media claimed he never resisted arrest. I remember thinking "well, he was handcuffed - he wouldn't run after that, what was the point of pinning him to the ground???" - well the video makes it quite obvious he would have run.
I feel badly that Floyd died, but Chauvin didn't kill him. Perhaps police should be given training in resuscitation, but, how many things does a cop have to know? There's a limit. You want to keep them in skool for 20 years before they can have a job?
The media WANTS to instigate race wars, and pushes it every time they have the opportunity. I give them no credibility whatsoever.
I saw a film clip once from one of the body cams when they first arrested him. They found a freeze frame (literally a blink and you'll miss it) of a packet (drugs, probably) on Floyd's tongue before he swallows it.
My guess is that he was swallowing the drugs to keep the police from finding it on his person, and he underestimated the potency of the Fentanyl. If he was dying from that amount of drugs, probably nothing the police did would have saved him at that point.
In a better era we may all have known it. But -- the media was fanning the flames so you could get that color revolution to unseat Trump and all the other evil they implement.
I know what the media is, it's completely disinformation. It's complete garbage. I am very frustrated that ANYBODY believes the media at this point.
Floyd has a prior conviction from about a year before where it has been CLAIMED he OD'ed in about the same exact way, woke up in a hospital.
I'm grateful we had Trump, if he can't prove to people that our media is bullshit, that our DOJ is corrupt, that both parties are corrupt, that the intelligence agencies are TRAITORS to this nation, and our military is stabbing us all in the back, nobody can. He did his job.
Charles Manson gave this a name…. Helter Skelter…. In the 1960’s
Launching a mega race war in the USA. One of the devotees of Manson was Bernadine Dhorne. She and her husband Bill Ayers, held the very first political fundraiser for a young Chicago politician 20 years ago. His name was Barack Obama. Make sense now? Race war? Helter Skelter?
Thugs on drugs deserve what they get. George Floyd, Travon Martin, what the dude Blake was. Thugs on drugs only matter when they die from justice. In the meantime, another 1000 black men die from gunshots in urban cities ruled by communist Democrat politicians. And these thugs shoot and kill dozens of children. No worries, all these children are negroes and the mainstream media doesn’t care about them at all. No one iota. Not one jot nor tittle.
George Floyd clearly died of Fentanyl overdose. 10 milli-grams of this drug will kill, while he swallowed packets of cut fentanyl that he was dealing to destroy the evidence.
The postmortem found Fentanyl and other drugs in his blood.
There is video of him swallowing the packets.
Fentanyl OD immediately attacks breathing and paralyzes the diaphragm.
Floyd was complaining about breathing when he was in the back of the police car.
He forced out of the police car because he needed medical help.
This was taken as resisting arrest.
Unfortunately just the last two minutes have been videod in order to spread misinformation, which the corporate press obliged and covered up.
Floyd pulled the same trick with heroin a year before when arrested, and he ended up in the hospital and charges were dropped against him.
The corporate press is responsible for 25 deaths in riots and the destruction of tens of billions of small business property.
My biggest problem is that the costumes are erotic in nature and they are having events to show themselves to children this way. Drag queens used to be reserved for adults only events.
I know how you might object to this, but don't worry about liberals screwing up their kids, or allowing their kids to sterilize themselves because they've been brainwashed into thinking they are the opposite sex.
This will fix the problem in time - it will reduce their likelihood of them reproducing their gene line.
I know you think this is monstrous, HOWEVER, it corrects itself. You should encourage liberals to embrace homosexuality, to always abort, to transition their kids, and to hate themselves - you do this, and they won't exist in a few generations.
The United States had a eugenics program in the 1920's and 30's where they forcibly sterilized people with mental issues. Well, this is a voluntary version of it, "just transition to other sex, sterilize yourself, and become the man/woman you REALLY are..."
If we knew that all their craziness was genetic, this would be the most attractive solution all round, but maybe it isn't. In addition, the liberals never keep their insanity within their own communities.
Still just a hypothesis for some reason. We did not come from apes, bro... if we did, they wouldn't be here anymore. Stop using the same logic that justifies the mRNA vaccines... or get all of your boosters!
No, we didn't come from apes, we just have a common ancestor. Our common ancestor in our species doesn't exist anymore. It is extinct.
This is not in conflict with a concept of god, it's just a conflict for YOUR vision of god. There is the concept that we are all portions, tiny portions, of god. That our purpose is to simply experience life. The idea is I will live your life, you will live mine, and we both all live as all the cattle, all the roaches, all the birds, all the worms, all the blades of grass. This is the concept of karma. All harm and joy you create, you will experience yourself. We're all one. We are just tiny aspects of the creator. We will experience everything possible over time. Time is simply an illusion in this concept.
If this is true, be nice to one another. Even if it's not true, be nice to one another. What harm does this create?
If this is true though, we are compelled to make a better world, aren't we? This concept of karma is ancient. We are all one, and all harm and good, we experience ourselves at some point. This is contrary to Christianity, but is it bad? I don't think so.
How many children do you have? I assume none. Because you seem to be a little bit light in your loafers and have no interest in children, except for who knows what?
Seems like I read about a drag show being put on for kids somewhere every day. I guess I just don't get it. If it's not for recruiting purposes, then why do they do this for kids?
Searching "drag show for kids" gives over 35M hits, many of which document drag queen shows being staged for children to attend, often in their classrooms.
I suspect you know this is more about parents demanding that their thoughts be taken into consideration when choosing the content of the schooling that they and other taxpayers fund. And I encourage teachers and administrators to push back against that with performative protests like elementary school drag shows. This will hasten the elimination of monopoly government schools and give cover to legislators who might otherwise oppose an all-voucher education funding scheme.
I don't watch television at all, and I don't care if you screw up your kids, and let sexually unique people indoctrinate them. It just increases the likelihood of terminating your gene line.
Transgender your kids, it just sterilizes them. Want to have an abortion up to the moment of birth? Go ahead. Want to allow your kid to be groomed - that's fine with me. I feel badly for your child, but it's your child.
It's not my place to prevent you from allowing your child from being damaged. I can warn you against it, but I won't stand in your way. Go ahead.
You seek to minimize the threat. Likening it to “build the wall”. In the meantime over 5 million illegal aliens have crossed the border under biden. Sometimes when there’s great alarm, we need to sit up and pay attention.
For maybe a year now I have been trying to bring this forward #womanface. I am not the only one but it hasn't received much traction . I honestly don't see how womanface is any different from blackface. Dylan Mulvaney is exactly this. As a woman, I am offended by men posing as cartoon caricatures of women. (Mulvanely is a 1950's cartoon woman.) I guess men do rule the world.
Look harder. It’s there. If you think Fox is making it up, you’re wrong. I have seen this play out in Memphis & if it’s going on there, it’s everywhere. There was enough that they banned gender drugs and drag shows for kids, finally. People who object to the new ban cannot explain WHY kids need to see drag, WHAT does the child gain? To me, it’s obviously grooming and luring children into sexuality and pedophilia eventually.
Why are liberals so angry with Ron DeSantis keeping gender issues out of the classroom, if it's not really happening anyway? Would people be angry about a law to keep leprechauns out of the classroom?
Of course it's happening, and liberals are frantic to keep it going.
There's a chasm of difference between powder puff football and doing drag as a lifestyle. Surely, you can see that? Trump didn't have to create a distraction by the Tran crowd. They're very adept at doing that all on their own.
Yeah, I don't ever say I'm part of a group at this point. Groups go bad. I'll tell people what my principles are, but if they say "oh, you're a liberal" or "oh, you're a conservative" I'll point out how they are incorrect to say that.
I believe in free speech, I don't believe in racism at all, I oppose war, I believe false propaganda is always bad (propaganda CAN be true), I believe in truthfulness, I believe in education, I don't care at all about homosexuality between adults, I oppose children being indoctrinated into understanding what homosexuality is before they know what sex is, I don't think a child can be gay, or transSEXUAL, or trans at all. I believe people should be able to practice religion, although I'm not very religious at all, I don't believe in central authority, I believe that with central power, it always leads to corruption.
Am I liberal or conservative? Labels are not useful.
Have you ever had a friend that was obnoxious and loud and said stupid things? But you were still friends, maybe you didn't hang around as much but you still liked him? That's Donald Trump. Most of the GOP hates him. When Trump was elected he disrupted the establishment, he disrupted the general sameness that has been going on for years in D.C.. That's why they hate him and that's why I voted for him. Anyone who could piss off the uniparty as much as he has was the guy for me.
Imagine the media hanging around you, all day, every day, with the intention of recording and highlighting the worst things you say or do, and then presenting those things to the public in the most inflammatory manner possible - and if they have to be dishonest to do so, then so be it.
Factually, most of the worst Trump moments (Drinking bleach, mocking a disabled reporter, hydroxychloroquine) were OUTRIGHT LIES, designed to mislead and inflame.
Yes, the guy was and is controversial, but the media CAUSED "Trump Derangement Syndrome" far more than Donald Trump himself ever did.
I'm one of them! I did not vote for him in 2016 as I couldn't. For the record I didn't vote for Hillary either, I just abstained. Consciously I couldn't vote. It was COVID coverage of Trump that I realized how much they skewed and lied about him. I started to really pay attention and was appaled. So thanks MSM for openig my eye and I've seen differntly since.
I used to believe that the Republicans had perfected the art of slant and distortion. But it seems the Dems have taken it to a new and previously unimaginable level.
Anybody with an ounce of decency hate Pelosi, Schumer and Shiff - as well as George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Mitt Romney, John Kerry, Al Gore, Barack Obama, John McCain, Dennis Hastert.. The list is endless. There's so MUCH scum in our federal government.
I'm not a Trump lover. I wanted Cruz in '16. If it was a saner time I would prefer DeSantis today. I do believe 2020 was stolen. Not because Trump said so, but because the charade made it obvious.
What is it about Trump supporters that's comparable to BLM? To Antifa? To drag queen story hour? To tempting World War 3 with Russia?
I don't get the hatred, unless it's the people who bullied others are suddenly confronted with someone treating them the way they've treated others. A John Kreese suddenly faced with Mr. Miyogi.
There's an old game theory puzzle called Prisoner's Dilemma.
It goes like this.
Two men are arrested. The DA puts them in separate cells. He needs more evidence to convict, and the only way to do that is if he can get the men to squeal on his friend. So he visits each in turn.
"All right. You have a choice: Give evidence on your friend, or stay silent. If you both stay silent, I can't convict you. But I will get you on process crimes. Loitering. Unlicensed gun. And I'll put you both in jail for one year."
"Now if you both give evidence, I have a stronger case. And you will both face trial. And you both will serve 8 years."
"But before you clam out, think about this. If you stay quiet but your friend gives evidence against you, I'm going to let him go free and I will put the full weight of the law on you, and see to it you have 20 years in prison. On the other hand, if you squeal and your friend stays silent, then he'll get 20 years in prison, and I'll let you out, free as a bird. I'll give you a few minutes to think it over."
Both men are better off if they stay quiet than if they give evidence.
But the question is: do they trust their friend?
If they trust their friend, both will stay silent.
If they don't trust their friend, both will give evidence. And it's not because they want to go free! It's that they would rather serve 8 years than 20. That's a 12 year difference. They give evidence to protect themselves from being a sucker.

In a high-trust society, people will trust each other more and do what's best for everyone.
But in a low-trust society, you have to be more aggressive to survive.
When the Democrats throw decorum out the window and weaponize the government against their political enemies, the ONLY rational approach of the Republicans is to do likewise.
To not do so is suicide.
Some Republicans will pick suicide, sure. "Oh, they are throwing Trump and his supporters in prison -- if I'm quiet ,maybe they'll leave me alone?"
That's to the famous poem which ends: "When they came for me, there was no one left to speak for me."
So some may resist. "If Dems are throwing Republicans in prison over made-up charges, for political advantage, we got to fight fire with fire. There's no other choice."
What happens then?
Whatever it is, it won't be pretty. There may be the mutual respect kind of like the Mutually-Assured Destruction between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
But one thing is going away. And that is Trust.
Trust is gone.
Frankly, it's been gone since 2020 but now more people will recognize it.
I heard something intriguing recently that I never knew before.
And it was the question of whether or not Richard Nixon asked too many questions about how his predecessor, Kennedy, actually died.
Maybe Watergate was orchestrated by the same people who removed JFK from the board. Only, they decided to raise fewer questions by making it less bloody.
I'd agree, I wouldn't call myself a "diehard Trump supporter", I just despise the criminal mafia that has been running my government for something like 30 years.
"GOP are outright saying in Wisconsin they will use their temp super majority to impeach every democrat in statewide office or judge."
Look, IF they are saying this, show video of them saying this.
You can post links here. I'm so tired of the lies. There's constant unrelenting lies. We've had the ability to do hyperlinks for 30 years, why don't people use them?
I'm saying if you make a claim, back it up. If you want to change minds, provide evidence along with your claim. YOU are making this claim, it's YOUR job to look it up, not make everybody else look it up each individual time. This wastes time for everybody. Why are you forcing people to each look it up? You say there's a needle in the haystack of the Internet, well, you claim to know where it is to, why make everybody dig? Maybe you're telling the truth, you can easily prove you are.
Here, Derek Chauvin died from a drug overdose after resisting arrest violently for over 5 minutes. You know how I know?
The entire bodycam footage is online - at about 6:20 - you can see Floyd REALLY resist. You can see if for yourself. I'm read with links. Chavin is an innocent man, who was railroaded into prison.
Want another? The US overthrew Syria in 2014. How do we know this? Victoria Nuland had a phone call intercepted with Geoffrey Pyatt, in Feb 4, 2014 in which she was picking the next "leader" (puppet) of the United States to run that country.
I can rattle these off, because I have done this hundreds of times before.
You can do it just ONCE, I think. See - I want to convince people, and I want to find errors in my claims, if I'm wrong. I've been wrong many times, but when I'm corrected, I cease being wrong.
I think part of the polarization on the right stems from decades, and I'm not exaggerating DECADES, of trying to keep the political pendulum from swinging as far left as it has. But with the Democrats, it's like, 'give an inch, take a mile.' My heart is heavy for our country, and many on the right are just at their wits end with what to do. I think that's why we saw what happened on Jan 6 on the capitol.
When have you been at your wits end, so frustrated that you might lash out, or throw something (hopefully not at somebody)?
Absolutely, I felt that republicans had been playing nasty tricks with election results for some time. But the nastiest trick I had ever seen was when HRC & Debbie Whatsername Schlutz stole the nomination from Bernie. A longtime liberal, I was so disgusted with them that I threw away my vote on Jill Stein.
I voted against DJT, twice. Now I'm realizing that he is perhaps the greatest president of our times. At least he had balls enough to try and approach the job with an eye toward leveling the opacity and hypocrisy. But it is AWFULLY hard to do that without getting some on ya.
The establishment is so triggered by DJT that they are doing everything in their power to neutralize him.
Benj, "Now I'm realizing that he is perhaps the greatest president of our times" WOW!!! That's quite the 180! DJT definitely had(s) his faults for sure. Skirting the law with what he could do legally but questionable (don't they all though) but I agree he campaigned on "Drain the Swamp" and having lived in the DC area for most of my life until recently, it is just that, a pretty swamp. I love the city. I loath the politics. And DJT didn't just go after the democrats - we've seen that by the way he's taunting DeSantis.
But think about it. He was intent on draining the swamp and making moves to do it. All those swamp creatures don't want to have their swamp drained though.
Obama was very polarizing. He started the censorship of journalists. He encouraged the race baiters. In fact, I remember watching his first inaugeration and that Reverend Wright was speaking and one of the things he said was, " when white makes right.." Dinesh Desouza went to jail for some minor campaign infraction because he released a documentary, 'Obama's America'. If you haven't seen it it's worth it. You don't believe Mr. Magoo is really in charge do you?
I disagree, and here's why: Obama moved us further into position for whatever this "great reset" marxist revolution is happening now, incrementally strengthening "patriot act" measures of surveillance and control. Whereas DJT moved to challenge and loosen the deep state, albeit clumsily and ineffectively.
And he was RIGHT about hydroxychloroquine, dammit.
Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy! No recognition of the role they have played in stoking animus across the board. The unbalanced hyper-reaction to Trump's very existence as President has created more lasting damage than anything Trump did (at least prior to losing the 2020 election).
Please understand that I say this as a NON-fan of Trump and that I never wanted him to be President. But he was duly elected according to our Constitution, and immediately the influencers on the left (including the ostensibly unbiased media) deemed him illegitimate and even began a campaign to get electors to change their votes (a less violent but no less egregious attempt to undo the results of an election).
I have huge issues with Republicans, too... but can see clearly that some of their actions/positions that are most loathed on the left are in fact a result of the extremism on that side. It's like a horrible game of tug of war, and the harder that the left pulls in one direction, the harder that the right also has to pull... 2 extremes and no middle ground.
I understand why people felt Trump was (and is) a threat - but it is in the most challenging times that we need to lean into our laws and constitution, not suspend them or try ever more "creative" ways to ignore them.
His election demonstrated we do indeed have a deep state, seems like the main functionaries are the intelligence agencies, that our DOJ is corrupt, that selective prosecution is common, that we have a two tiered justice system, that our intelligence agencies are corrupt, that law enforcement will frame innocent people, and let criminals burn down city blocks, that our FIB will withhold exonerating evidence for trials, and our "mainstream media" is nothing but complete propaganda.
Trump is VERY flawed, but he was the first president in 40 years not to start a new war. That's a step up, but the bar is now buried 6 feet below. Our last presidents have been complete garbage. We have bombed 7 nations under Barack Obama, and George W. Bush. Can you even name these nations?
No. We don't have a free press, we have propaganda. Actual free press isn't even allowed on Facebook, Twitter or Google now.
Never in a million years would I have guessed it could happen, or that I would admit it out loud, but the republican party is the only one of the two that still contains *some* people of integrity.
Rand Paul has some, so does Thomas Massie. Even Marjorie Taylor Green, although she makes errors.
There were good people in the DNC. I really respected Barbara Lee, she voted against the Afghanistan war, highly principled. The DNC also had Mike Gravel, he read the Pentagon Papers into the congressional record, they threatened him with treason charges for doing that - he did this to prove the Gulf of Tonkin Incident never happened, it was a false flag to bring us into the Vietnam war.
There's good people in both parties, but at the Federal level, you can count them on your fingers. Nancy Pelosi is garbage, so is Mitt Romney, and John McCain, Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry. They are all the same, puppets. Neocon puppets.
I never thought in a MILLION YEARS I'd be happy with a glorified carnival barker, but Trump didn't drag us into a new war. It's been CARTER since we had a president that refused that.
Sen. Tim Scott has also worked hard on police reform to no avail - the Democrats turn a deaf ear to him even though he's their preferred skin color...go figure?
Ron DeSantis, Joe Ladapo, Krist Noem, Rand Paul, Chip Roy, JD Vance, Rob Portman, the AG of Nebraska Doug Peterson, MN gubernatorial candidate Dr Scott Jensen, Winsome Sears, Mayra Flores, off the top of my head.
No, it's ALL propaganda. I've give you some simple rules:
If you cannot comment on it, it's propaganda - no comment section, it's propaganda.
If your comments are shadowbanned or deleted, it's propaganda, you won't be the only one having your comments deleted.
That eliminates EVERYTHING in the "mainstream media". Fox news, CNN, PBS, NY Times, it's all propaganda. Rachael Maddow doesn't make $50,000 a day because she informs you, she makes that kind of money because she MISINFORMS you. Same thing with Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, everybody.
I gave up on the Left a long time ago. It was their rhetoric about "supporting working families" and then catering to coastal elites and the upper middle class that changed my mind. Now they are just a collection of entitled boomers, indoctrinated millennials and thuggish crazies.
"I miss the Left I used to know. I miss when they were decent and sensible people instead of a fanatic cult throwing fits when they don’t get their way."
Sasha, I feel the same way, although truth be told, my experience is that there has long/forever been
an intolerant/dogmatic/rage-filled element on the Left...In the past, I have known/worked with some of these people. Just never thought they would attain the power that they now have. But here we are.
Do you ever try to have a discussion about politics or the state of our nation with anyone on the left? It doesn’t go well. I always feel talked down to and they think they are right no matter what the subject is about. I have many family members that are far left. It can be so challenging and usually means we just have to avoid it altogether. And that makes it so awkward to carry on a conversation because of the condition we are in as a nation and how life connects to it.
It feels good to come here. To read or listen to Sasha’s posts and to read what others think when they comment. It helps me feel less crazy for what I believe to see others also are where I am in my thoughts and beliefs.
I just came from the rally outside the court house on Lafayette St. In lower Manhattan. It’s totally calm. There are two groups separated by cops and a corridor of bike racks. The groups are leaving each other alone. Unseasonably warm today at 70 degrees. I walked around both groups.
There are a ton of expensive cameras and microphones with foam rubber branded wind socks in every direction. More on the Trump side. At times is looks like 1:1 reporters to protesters.
I saw one guy trying to taunt Trump supporters. He was ignored by the Trump faithful but got an interview with some blogger who was grilling him. He was totally unprepared to answer questions and looked old enough to be FBI. Like 40s and taunting without passion. I should have taken his picture. I took a lot of pictures but mostly just the crazy cast of NYC characters, Naked Cowboy, etc.
Things could change but looked harmless when I left
Heck yeah Sasha, I’m 100% with you. I’m still trying to get through to the majority of my liberal friends & family to leave their echo chamber and see through all this madness, like folks such as you and I have. It’s a tough sell though as people really become attached to their beliefs and ideologies...
God bless you Sasha Stone. We need to end the Woke mass hysteria.
This is about protecting our Republic. It’s not about Republicans or Democrat’s. It’s about US Citizens standing against Tyranny which always devolves into Communism.
Stand for Freedom!We must protect our Constitution.
Let's not forget the days when the Left colluded with communists and sympathized with their "socialist" ways in Nicaragua and Venezuela. You just woke up. But I love ya.
You know it's bad when a dyed in the wool Democrat who campaigned for Hillary says she will do everything I can to ensure they lose in 2024. I used to toss a few Democrats in the mix, local elections and such, but since the 2016 election and after, I knew they were nuts and I will never cast a vote for a Democrat. Even for County Weed commissioner. Or Dog Poop Specialist. They can live in their own fantasy land which unfortunately they like to do even while the ship sinks.
I miss just being able to talk to a liberal...to have a rational, unemotional discussion, without worrying about triggering someone, without being yelled at or called names, just a calm chat about about what's going on in our country. I'd like to try to understand where they're coming from, and to have them try to understand my concerns. But I can't. My heart breaks, I cry for my country.
Have faith: history has many examples of a persecuted people coming out stronger and more resilient for their sufferings. Then again the Dark Ages lasted 600 years.....
At this point I cannot think of a single excuse for anyone to remain loyal to the Democratic Party. The only good democrat is an ex-democrat. My flag is now at half mast.
Where all my old school hippy dippy liberals at?!? The ones who value individuality, nonviolence, creativity, freedom of expression & unity via sharing unique perspectives w/o judgement. Who can agree to disagree, live & let live & push back against the establishment built on greed, profit over people & planet?!?
haha, believe it or not, I'm a hippy-dippy conservative libertarian. Everything you describe in your comment is me! haha. I love my herb, my astrology and spirituality, my meditation, yoga, forest bathing, and universal connectedness. I am not your stereotypical, close-minded conservative. I've never voted for a democrat because I could see where that would lead (where we are now) and have always believed the government should have zero influence on my daily life - good or bad because then I become dependent on an entity that doesn't give a shit about me.
Same here. I think we're called "conservatarians". I'm a vet, but when I got out, I moved into a little cabin in the woods north of Fairbanks, Alaska and lived a very libertarian-bohemian lifestyle (while at university), though most of my friends are liberals, I part way on their politics which I view as being based on division, exclusion, green-unicornism, and eventual fascism. I'm also a professional scientist (30+ years), which requires me to analyze every issue objectively. Nevertheless, I have voted for Democrats including the last two general elections ---> Jim Webb in 2016 & Tulsi Gabbard in 2020. I vote my conscience which is remarkably liberating.
1) LOVE Alaska! I found my soul there and never let go.
2) Conservatarians. I like it. It's a little contrarian, which I'll happily own when it comes to always looking at something from a different perspective.
3) I live on the water in a rural area. We grow our own vegs, local meat, chicken, fish. I moved out of the DC area in 2021. Before this I was entertaining the thought vanlife and living on the road. WHICH I still want to do even if only for a year.o
I love the diversity of my friends. Many of whom are also liberals, very bohemian. I love that we just embrace life.
well, I don't know if it's THE secret to life but it certainly is the secret to MY life and I love my life dearly. I'm grateful every moment of every day. I think you've found your paradise in your cabin in AK!
No question about that. Every time I return to lower America, I'm reminded that I live in the best place on the planet -- at least for me. My wife is an Alaska native so this is normal for her. We were visiting in-laws last October with a road trip in the northwest and I was absolutely shocked with Portland. It used to be a nice city. We were terrified of breaking down while driving through the city. It reminded me of Hong Kong in the 60s and Jakarta in the 70s or D.C. after the '68 riots. It's just getting so weird in the new America.
I’m a vet also and am mostly against the neo-cons of the Uniparty that never lose an opportunity to turn a minor conflict into an endless war. Thanks for your service.
Yes, the Free Speech Movement started with Mario Savio in Berkeley (my home town). Believe it or not, the Left used to be the good guys, but the script has been flipped.
There are only two people that can make smart people totally lose their minds. Donald Trump and Jesus Christ. If you try to speak about either one, they explode.
President Trump is the only one standing up for the US Constitution, and the rule of law, both of which the Democrats have trashed in a seditious fit. Those who still support the rule of law must work to finance and support GOP efforts at legal ballot harvesting, early and mail-in voting, which, if effective, will make the difference in 2024. Remember, less than 50,000 votes in several swing states made the difference between President Trump and Biden in 2020.
Trump arrested for something no other person would be arrested for. Hillary Clinton NOT arrested for something any other person would have been jailed for. And there is not a democrat to be found who can see that?
It's true - the worst part was that Democrats wouldn't back up their guy...I am not a Dem but I do think he was booted put unjustly for just a prank...he was and remains a comedian for God's sake
The media who rejoiced at the Trump indictment is saying in unison that today “Is a solemn day,” and putting on their best sad faces. I’m so sick of their gaslighting. They disgust me.
It ain’t over till the fat lady sings. She was a Viking with horns. Oh my, I did my DNA test. I am a Viking. I am not the only one. Queue Wagner’s “ Ring des Nebulungen”. And the Flight of the Valkeries…..brown hair , piercing blue eyes, full Viking…. Call the thought police now 🤠
Thank you for your honest heartfelt words. I appreciate your speaking up about the radicals. My liberal friends who still follow the Dem narrative makes me wonder why. These friends are intelligent and driven decent humans that should be outraged. It’s as if their political beliefs have been usurped and replaced with phony outrage. Enough is enough. The gay agenda achieved what they demanded, but now has been overtaken with queer, trans, pedophilic attractions which are extremely radical. The weaponization of our justice systems, DOJ down into Soros funded DAs, has thrust criminals and activists to do harm with no repercussions while J6 peaceful protestors are locked up for 2 years without a trial or even medical care. Everyone should be sounding the alarm. This is not our country, it has been taken from us with the selection of Biden.
The old Left always had an affectation for anti Western dictatorships like Cuba, East Germany and the Soviet Union. You could never find an example where they criticized those without being forced. Those totalitarian instincts are just more visible today.
This was symbolized by the trip to Cuba of a few activists... so they could go to Guantanamo to protest US human rights violations.
The real Liberals, those who support individual liberty, limited government and personal freedom date back to John Stuart Mill and Edmund Burke. No chance today's leftists will want to learn from those white European men.
> "The Democrats have manufactured their own crisis for seven years and they’re dragging the country through pain and polarization just to stay in power."
We need to understand that the so-called "left" is all about power. It does not share our belief in the rule of law or indeed in the Constitution of the United States. They hate it all and want to burn it to the ground. They want to replace it with some sort of woke utopia, which even they don’t understand is going to be a hellish A.I.-run technocratic nightmare. They can’t see that their own strings are being pulled by truly dark forces who don’t give a crap about them, except insofar as they act as useful idiots. They have no real understanding of history or how many millennia it took a struggling humanity to reach the point where Lex Rex rather than Rex Lex.
They hate the west, our cultural heritage, religious traditions and enlightenment values. You can't argue with them because they won't engage in debate; instead they shout and scream and try to de-platform anyone who opposes them. They use our own liberal sense of fair play and compassion against us. It is the very definition of evil.
Power is what they want. They are fanatics of the worst kind. All of it is wrapped in doublespeak about "diversity" and "equity". What they really don't want is a meritocracy and any recognition of individual achievement and personal excellence. That's because it shows them to be the losers they are. They want to hide their failure to thrive by melting into an “oppressed” group and blaming it on something else - starting with a blanket condemnation of "white people". They want to hand out positions of power and responsibility based not on competence (“that’s racist!”), but on skin color, or some other arbitrary woke criteria du jour, which can only lead to the failure of institutions and systems, as we are now starting to witness. When this madness reaches the cockpits of airlines, we are going to see planes fall out of the sky.
Indeed, there are many black and other "people of color" (God, I hate that stupid PC phrase!) who resent the idea that they are victims, somehow incapable of competing on a level playing field. The whole idea is so utterly condescending it makes any thinking person sick.
Until we recognize who these people really are - a bunch of anti-American creeps who want to take us into some kind of techno-totalitarian nightmare - we can't fight them.
The whole woke/trans ideology is anti-intellectual and anti-American. It needs to be crushed under foot like a filthy cigarette butt and tossed in the garbage can.
'Shiny object distraction.’ Jesus, the Messiah, came to reconcile all who will put their trust in the finished work of the cross and His Ressurection to the Father. "So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day, and the idols will vanish completely. Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth. In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold—the idols they made to worship. They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth. Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?" -Isaiah 2: 17-22
My point is that this is kabuki theater of the absurd. We are weighed down on all sides with abominable pride, we need to turn away from all of this and look to Jesus for our hope.
Maybe the "Left" once cared about things such as the Rule of Law, election integrity, working class Americans, and leaving a better nation for the next generation, but there has long been an undercurrent to the left that cares about control, power, and destruction. This goes back to the Fabian socialists, and for that matter to Marx and Engels. In this nation, the left planted deadly seeds in 1913 (the year America's doom was likely sealed), cheered the Nazis and especially the Soviets in the 1920s and 30s (ignoring the Holodomor was especially shameful), ran a radical test in the 1960s, and, finally, used the Long March through the institutions to turn this nation into a tyranny. Yes, the political right (the other half of the Uniparty) contributed mightily, but theirs was a contribution of grift and convenience. The plot was charted and the ship steered by hardcore leftists who hate everything about America and about freedom in general.
As for 2024, the fix is already in. 2020 was surely rigged, unless you believe that negative poll totals (Trump's vote numbers declining in real time - something impossible sans cheating), hiding the poll workers, mysterious boxes and truckloads of ballots showing North Korea levels of uniformity, and documented evidence of ballot box stuffing mean nothing. They mean everything, and they mean that no person that opposes the deep state/leftist/Uniparty empire stands a chance. They learned their lesson in 2016 (they are hated and people will vote against them), they learned their lesson in 2020 (the media and the courts would let them cheat), and they have learned their lesson in 2022 (they can send their shock troops and Fibbies into the streets to dissuade dissidence). I hope, I pray I am wrong, but I do not see elections making any difference at any level above local.
No, they never cared at all about anything except power for power’s sake. To command and control free American citizens for their harebrained scams like CRT, global warming hysteria, and homosexuality.
I’m sick and tired of the right playing defense… when will we play offense now that our Constitutional Republic is over!?!? Although the liberal lawyer Susan Estrich calls the 34 count indictment as “chopped liver and there’s no there there”, I’m so sad, angry and apprehensive for our children!!
Yep, and we struggle not with flesh and blood but the spirits of evil in high places. How else can we explain the current depictions of gender-fluid and amoral behaviors that are reminiscent of the ancient pagan gods?
The Dems have been waiting for this since Trump won in 16. They want to punish anyone who wasn't crying their eyes out that night. The same way trans and feminist activists want to punish the entire world, especially the happy and good looking people for being born fat and ugly
Hard to beat the Biden team with an unlimited number of mail-in votes that can be generated in PA and other Rust Belt states as needed late at night. Ballot Harvesting is a very effective legal tool, exploiting uninformed or low-propensity voters.
I know that it isn’t as easy for the Rs, but imo, they must get out front with their own harvesting. I believe the Rs did this in Florida to great effect. I dislike this voting system, but it’s what we’ve got right now. If the Rs ever get power back they can fix the system then if so inclined.
Democrats tend to be urban. Republicans tend to be Rural.
With cities at their stronghold, it's relatively easy to steal the unsolicited universal mail in ballots. Go to an apartment complex. Raid them from 200 mailboxes at once. Walk down the block, do it again.
Not as easy when you have a bunch of houses to travel between in the suburbs.
But there's one place Republicans could have an edge. That would be churches.
Damn shame the Republicans stabbed them in the back earlier this year with the (Dis)respect for Marriage act.
Big mistake is pretending there are two parties, not one Uniparty whose existence is to present the illusion of choice to voters.
I agree with Sasha that the Democratic Party must be taken down; they are far too powerful, far too unaccountable, far too corrupt, and far too insane. But that's what happens when you combine absolute institutional power with a mass formation psychosis -- the requisite grassroots component of totalitarianism -- like Trump Derangement Syndrome: chaos, incoherence, and moral turpitude reign supreme.
But totalitarianism in the 21st-century confluence of default addiction and too big to fail didn't just happen. Neither of these things were the unintended consequences of bad plans or a failure to plan. They are the plan. It took generations for the Democrats to insinuate themselves institutionally. It took generations to move us from a God fearing nation to a nation conditioned to fear everything except God. Generations were required over the past century to replace the meaningful Judeo-Christian ethics and classic Jeffersonian liberalism of the Enlightenment with the mindless moral relativism, bureaucratic illiberalism, and polytheistic narcissism of today. Generations were required to replace the meaningful rituals in our lives — like observance of the sabbath day and the family dinner table — with the mindless rituals of our obsessions and addictions. Generations were required to convert the news media from a blue-collar trade with unions and guilds whose job it was to expose state power, to an elite white-collar profession festooned with Ivy League diplomas whose job is now to defend and promote state power. As such, multiple generations may be required to restore institutional balance, equilibrium, and trust.
Remember, MAGA is still young, and is just now beginning to assert itself on a grassroots basis. Remember also that Trump isn't the real target; he's just in the way. You and Sasha and I and everyone who stands up to speak out are the real targets. MAGA and BREXIT and the Sanderistas and all other populist movements are the real targets.
The forces arrayed against us are real, immensely powerful, and wholly unaccountable to anyone. They will not tolerate dissent or populism of any stripe. The technomedia cartel, vaccine mandates, central bank digital currencies, and global gun control are all tools of class warfare deployed by the global elite against you and Sasha and me and poor and middle class people of all colors worldwide.
We have been trained and groomed over generations to seek solutions and answers outside ourselves. In the end, however, the most important institutions we can enforce and protect are our own families and our own communities. Totalitarians live in constant fear of strong families and strong communities because strong families and strong communities refuse to replace real faith with false gods. Strong families and strong communities protect their children first. Like politics, the real battles and the real challenges to totalitarianism and tyranny are always local. In what I call the Great Age of Addiction, moderation and local autonomy are the only sustainable responses to tyranny.
The forces of true evil are upon us. They won't go away anytime soon, and they will always come for our children. Think moderation in all things. Think quality of life as a function of how and were and with whom we invest our time and faith. Think Local Act Local first...
You are correct. First, we need to live for and to protect our families. Then expand outward to our Churches and Synagogues. And then our close neighbors. Rod Dreher has an excellent book on forming small Christian communities, “The Benedict Option”. He is referring to an ancient Bishop of Rome. Rod is now a Slavic Orthodox living in Bucharest. He seems to favor ecumenism within the Christian community, the true invisible church, the universal church. Ask him for more details on that. This is just my perception based on his blog posts. This idea is sound. Committed Christians have big hearts and we welcome Orhodox Jews like Dennis Prager into our thoughts and prayers. Please, no psychopathic woke people, they belong to Satan.
Thanks, Tom. I'll check out "The Benedict Option". Always interested in how religious communities protect themselves from the institutional and cultural assault on their values and lifestyles. Also, I'll be launching a new Substack blog in the next month or two: Quality of Life Toolkit. It will explore the 21st-century rise of a new Huxwellian tyranny in the confluence of state-sponsored default addiction and runaway digital scale, and how it destroys the quality of life -- spiritual, social, emotional, and physical -- for individuals, families, and local communities. Further, it will issue two primary calls to action: the restoration of moderation as the only viable response to state-sponsored default addiction, and a return to local autonomy as the only meaningful and enduring response to runaway digital scale. Finally, it will offer a suite of simple diagnostic and remedial tools -- designed for application by individuals, families, and local communities alike -- to answer the above calls to action and restore spiritual, social, emotional, and physical quality to our lives. Stay tuned...
There's just no positive vision. It's all attacking history and America and retaining power. Although I am intrigued by Glenn Greenwalds take that the real dividing line in politics today is establishment vs anti establishment rather than left vs right. That's why they call people like Joe Rogan or Matt Taibbi right wingers. Trying to force things into the old paradigm.
@barnes_law states : The Constitutional predicate for indictment, trial or sentencing of a former President requires first impeachment by the House and conviction in the Senate. Trump was acquitted by the Senate. This indictment violates the Constitution.
Also:
@Cernovich: The Trump indictment, which I read, would be laughable in any other circumstance. It’s the same offense copied and pasted 34 times, with the date changed each time. This is the biggest farce I’ve ever seen.
The whole system is corrupted, there is a cabal of business types (IMO) ruling over (buying?) a uni-party comprised of Dems and Reps running the country for the rich business types interests. Most politicians no longer care about the common US citizen. Our elections are compromised it is death from 10,000 cuts. The software has gaping security holes in it (https://rumble.com/v2fkm08-31-march-2023-am-show-dominion-is-finished.html) watch this if you do not believe that and several (swing) states voter registration records are maintained by a private entity called ERIC that you cannot have a FOIA request records served on them. Some ERIC states have a million more registered voters than citizens eligible to vote - let that sink in! Ghost voters ballots are infused into the system to get their candidate across the line using these excess registered voters. Don't write all this off as "election denial" it is citizens who have dug into the issue and uncovered both sides of the aisle who are complicit in the fraudulent activities. Go down the rabbit hole and you will find the elite foxes who are eating we rabbits.
I’m right with you. Over any shock and grief I had at watching “my people” lose their minds and ethics. Unable to have a sensible discussion with any. I will fight them now.
I think it's great that there are those on the left that are seeing the insanity that the Democrats have devolved into, but many of us on the right or middle-right, have been witnessing it and crying out about it for decades. Hopefully, the pendulum is swinging back in the correct direction. You know it's out of balance when 1) conservatives are saying, 'man, I miss the clinton days' and 'JFK would be considered a right-wing republican by today's standards'
We've grown accustomed to loud, brash, and often violent protests by Democrats and their left-wing fellow travelers. It's been going on for 50 years. That's why it's so shocking when conservatives and GOPers behave like progressive liberals. We're just not used to it.
I believe Trump is meant to be a false hope for the Right and a lightning rod for the Left. Trump never was a Conservative or strong on Christianity. Yet suddenly he claims to be those things and always to have been them. Looking back I think he is controlled opposition. Not because of the talking heads either.
Personally, I really don’t want him back. Tired of his shtick and tired of the IC and NGO drama you see played out in all media. I think the Lord has held up a mirror and showed us what we have become as a nation through our leaders… we need to REPENT as individuals, the church and as a nation. Placing our passions and trust in right order. (No, Trump is not yet Christian... I pray he humble himself and turn to the Lord.)
I know many actual Conservatives who believe the party left them a long time ago. More importantly, I know even more real Christians who don’t believe God is a vending machine.
A bit off-topic, but I heard an analogy that for the trans movement, God has been reduced from the Omniscient Creator of All to a drunken assembly-line worker.
I think it much worse (and dangerous to his/her soul)... they think they are their own creator, and therefor ‘God’. The American government and its agencies have partnered with satan.
So sad. The media knows they can shape the narrative and LIE to the people to say the good guys are bad and the bad guys are good. They do anything and stop at nothing unless and until we stop them.
WE have the defeat the media, the liars or no matter what we do, we'll be called names for it, dehumanized, shunned, bastardized, etc.
How do we do this? We have to be able to sue them for their lies.
When I grew up (1050s) I was taught that that we had 3 independent branches of government, and had checks and balances built into our Republic. If one branch overstepped their authority, the other branches would rein them in. That seemed to have mostly worked - - - at least until the last 15 years. Today, none of the 3 branches seem to care about Americans, about you and me. They have theirs and they could not care less about us.
Suddenly, across the country and in the Biden Admin (except people directly in constant contact with Biden, of course) blacks are in charge of almost everything. And what I see is PAYBACK all over the place...especially toward Trump. So ironic since Trump did more for black-Americans than the last five+ presidents (including Obama).
Why? Because they are easy to control. Democrats have 400 years of direct experience controlling negroes to do their will. While many negroes are extremely aware and intelligent, many are not. They end up on welfare schemes and the US government removes the fathers from their children by force of welfare payments to the mothers. The fatherless boys join gangs to prove their manhood, instead of being raised and nurtured by an actual loving man who is their father that lives in their homes. Endless cycles of poverty, rage, crimes, violence comes from this. And then Democrats poke them in the eyes and tell them that society is rascist, when that is a bald faced lie. Democrats are rascists to the maximum. Democrats have always been the party of slavery. Republicans freed the slaves. Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr were both Republicans. Woodrow Wilson played the very first movie in the White House, DW Griffith’s “Birth of a Nation”, which glorified the Ku Klux Klan. Then in 1924 at the Democrat National Convention, in NYC at Madison Square Gardens, it was nicknamed the KKKlanBake, because most of the delegates were card carrying Ku Klux Klan members with hoods. Nothing has changed in the last one hundred years. The Democrat Party is Still the party of slavery for the negroe. This is especially true in the Northern States. In the Deep South, whites and blacks get along far more easily and more naturally.
One more comment…. What happened when 100 illegal alien brown skinned people were sent to Martha’s Vineyard by Ron DeSantis last summer? What did the Lilly white Yankee progressives do? They called in the US National Guard to extricate them, within hours, to a Coast Guard base a few miles away. The Lilly white Yankees were terrified at the very thought that brown skinned people were actually polluting their Island retreat. Well….. down in Florida, we love all people. We have Haitians singing, Cubans doing their music, Missoukies wrestling alligators, Seminoles running their casinos, Puerto Ricans doing calypso, swamp people doing their swamp thing, cracker cowboys running their cattle, rednecks shootin the hogzillas, and the mixed up crazy world of many cultures. No one calls the US National Guard to remove anyone. Everyone is welcome. Blacks, whites, native Americans, Latinos, Mexican farm workers, rednecks, folks from LA (lower Alabama) in the panhandle, everyone. But those stuff necked Fascist nasty people in Martha’s Vineyard can’t handle even 100 brown skinned people. Shame on them. They are the true rascists, by their own actions.
They want us divided and they want chaos and they want a distraction from all of their corrupt dealings. They are deliberately destroying America and at the end of the day, they will destroy themselves as well. I wonder if they have ever studied history and know about the purges that will eventually occur. I am amazed at how many people have sold their souls to the devil for money and power.
Some of the loss of sense can be seen from what the Democrats choose to defend. Example? Drag shows. They are exhibitions of men dressed as women, usually in the most objectified, tasteless and demeaning clownish outfits and makeup possible. How is this different from the minstrel shows of a century ago - white men dressing in blackface and demeaning, cartoonish costumes?
Hey, I got another one for you: George Floyd. Man with a criminal record who as likely as not died of Fentanyl overdose.
What were they rioting over before Kyle Rittenhouse? Well, police shot Jacob Blake. Why were they there in the first place? Well, Jacob Blake was raping his ex-girlfriend who had a restraining order against him and disobeyed the cops. That's why they were rioting and destroying Kenosha.
But hey, did you hear about Eunice Dwumfour? She was an African American state congresswoman. She was shot outside her residence. She wasn't a rapist. She wasn't a criminal. And nobody cared. Nobody rioted. Nobody said "Remember Eunice Dwumfour! Say her name!"
Why was that?
Well.... for one thing.. she was a Republican.
George Floyd died as a result of a drug overdose. The bodycam footage is available for review. He resisted arrest for a while, quit obvious he was very high drugs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkEGGLu_fNU
Apparently Floyd had ODed a year before, similar circumstances but he woke up in a hospital from the OD, this time he didn't make it.
An even more recent example is Nashville. Almost nothing in the national press about that.
Please eplain on your belief the GOP had anything to do with a crazy person killing 3 children and 3 adults at a Christian school no less .
The "murder" of three children and three adults in a private Christian school in Nashville Tennessee carried out by a deranged individual was not in anyway shape or form "political" it was an attack by one who lashed out against what "they" believed caused "their" confusion with truth.
It is really telling you'd even bring "politics" into such a event to "provide cover" for "Audrey Elizabeth Hale" a 28 year old "woman" who took the lives of people who had "zero" to do with your "insane activist bull shit" trying to right a wrong done by a mentally unstable individual who couldn't deal with the reality/fact that she is a she, not a he or him.
Take the politics out of that and tell us what you really mean
Absolutely freaking tragic about Eunice Dwumfour.
Really excellent point.
Regardless of Floyd's drug use, kneeling on a neck for 9+ minutes was stupidity. I get the frustration LEO's deal with, having to interact with the worst our society produces on a daily basis. I can even understand a sucker punch now and then, but 9 minutes is a long enough time to rethink actions and that action took down 3 other cops.
Kneeling on the neck was an approved procedure. He was a large man who was resisting arrest and he needed restraint. He claimed getting in the SUV was claustrophobic, but he had just got out of a minivan. He was high and out of his mind. The autopsy revealed that Floyd died of heart failure, not asphyxiation.
I never said Floyd died of asphyxiation. There are always procedures for getting control of a resistant arrestee, but in the video Chauvin continued to kneel on Floyd after it appeared he became non-responsive. There were 4, trained, male LEOs, one of which protested the situation.
Chauvin continued to kneel on Floyd's back until Emergency personnel arrived to take charge of him. He died of heart failure at some point. So-called "experts" claimed they could tell by the video when he died, but I've seen people die. Some die violently and some simply go to sleep.
They babied him for like 30 minutes before he was on the ground. He refused to get in the car. He committed suicide by cop.
Truth is the officers tatic was widely used across the country without issue, Floyd had ingested enough narcotics to kill himself. But there was a perfect scenario to launch the revolution we are currently in with the American Marxist. Don't BS yourself we're not, we are.
The trial had guilty written all over it from the start, there are no juries of ones peers, thats BS.
Just watch what occurrs this summer......again but stay safe.
True enough. As for the Marxist revolution in America, it started in the 1850s with the arrival of German Marxists. Actually, there was a Communist League in the US in 1847. The founders of the Republican Party were utopian socialists, Marxists and outright communists. Horace Greely was a utopian.
The American Communist Party is alive and well in the USA.
Nah, the American Communist Party dissolved when they realized they could do more as Democrats.
I heard it said it was the shoulder blade, not the neck. And that Floyd asked to lie down because of the reaction his body had.
But the optics were horrible.
Yes, but that didn't kill him.
I don't think this is a reasonable way to subdue a suspect either, but it didn't kill him. It's what Chauvin was trained to do, probably by the IDF, and I don't agree with having the IDF train US police officers - they are trained to see all of the public as "the enemy" - we're not.
I know the optics were bad, but you have direct evidence. Our "news" media claimed he never resisted arrest. I remember thinking "well, he was handcuffed - he wouldn't run after that, what was the point of pinning him to the ground???" - well the video makes it quite obvious he would have run.
I feel badly that Floyd died, but Chauvin didn't kill him. Perhaps police should be given training in resuscitation, but, how many things does a cop have to know? There's a limit. You want to keep them in skool for 20 years before they can have a job?
The media WANTS to instigate race wars, and pushes it every time they have the opportunity. I give them no credibility whatsoever.
I saw a film clip once from one of the body cams when they first arrested him. They found a freeze frame (literally a blink and you'll miss it) of a packet (drugs, probably) on Floyd's tongue before he swallows it.
My guess is that he was swallowing the drugs to keep the police from finding it on his person, and he underestimated the potency of the Fentanyl. If he was dying from that amount of drugs, probably nothing the police did would have saved him at that point.
In a better era we may all have known it. But -- the media was fanning the flames so you could get that color revolution to unseat Trump and all the other evil they implement.
I know what the media is, it's completely disinformation. It's complete garbage. I am very frustrated that ANYBODY believes the media at this point.
Floyd has a prior conviction from about a year before where it has been CLAIMED he OD'ed in about the same exact way, woke up in a hospital.
I'm grateful we had Trump, if he can't prove to people that our media is bullshit, that our DOJ is corrupt, that both parties are corrupt, that the intelligence agencies are TRAITORS to this nation, and our military is stabbing us all in the back, nobody can. He did his job.
Charles Manson gave this a name…. Helter Skelter…. In the 1960’s
Launching a mega race war in the USA. One of the devotees of Manson was Bernadine Dhorne. She and her husband Bill Ayers, held the very first political fundraiser for a young Chicago politician 20 years ago. His name was Barack Obama. Make sense now? Race war? Helter Skelter?
Thugs on drugs deserve what they get. George Floyd, Travon Martin, what the dude Blake was. Thugs on drugs only matter when they die from justice. In the meantime, another 1000 black men die from gunshots in urban cities ruled by communist Democrat politicians. And these thugs shoot and kill dozens of children. No worries, all these children are negroes and the mainstream media doesn’t care about them at all. No one iota. Not one jot nor tittle.
George Floyd clearly died of Fentanyl overdose. 10 milli-grams of this drug will kill, while he swallowed packets of cut fentanyl that he was dealing to destroy the evidence.
The postmortem found Fentanyl and other drugs in his blood.
There is video of him swallowing the packets.
Fentanyl OD immediately attacks breathing and paralyzes the diaphragm.
Floyd was complaining about breathing when he was in the back of the police car.
He forced out of the police car because he needed medical help.
This was taken as resisting arrest.
Unfortunately just the last two minutes have been videod in order to spread misinformation, which the corporate press obliged and covered up.
Floyd pulled the same trick with heroin a year before when arrested, and he ended up in the hospital and charges were dropped against him.
The corporate press is responsible for 25 deaths in riots and the destruction of tens of billions of small business property.
Thank you for bringing this to light. I didn't know about this. What a tragedy. What a woman.
I had liberal family members who rage against the January 6 protesters.
But ask them who is David Dorn? They didn't know. Never heard of him.
My biggest problem is that the costumes are erotic in nature and they are having events to show themselves to children this way. Drag queens used to be reserved for adults only events.
I know how you might object to this, but don't worry about liberals screwing up their kids, or allowing their kids to sterilize themselves because they've been brainwashed into thinking they are the opposite sex.
This will fix the problem in time - it will reduce their likelihood of them reproducing their gene line.
I know you think this is monstrous, HOWEVER, it corrects itself. You should encourage liberals to embrace homosexuality, to always abort, to transition their kids, and to hate themselves - you do this, and they won't exist in a few generations.
The United States had a eugenics program in the 1920's and 30's where they forcibly sterilized people with mental issues. Well, this is a voluntary version of it, "just transition to other sex, sterilize yourself, and become the man/woman you REALLY are..."
If we knew that all their craziness was genetic, this would be the most attractive solution all round, but maybe it isn't. In addition, the liberals never keep their insanity within their own communities.
It may only be partially genetic.
There's difficulty in evolution, and yes, I entirely believe in evolution - it's a very well tested hypothesis.
I don't want to hurt anybody, and I have my opinions on what harm is, but at the same time, I will step back. These are not my children.
Still just a hypothesis for some reason. We did not come from apes, bro... if we did, they wouldn't be here anymore. Stop using the same logic that justifies the mRNA vaccines... or get all of your boosters!
No, we didn't come from apes, we just have a common ancestor. Our common ancestor in our species doesn't exist anymore. It is extinct.
This is not in conflict with a concept of god, it's just a conflict for YOUR vision of god. There is the concept that we are all portions, tiny portions, of god. That our purpose is to simply experience life. The idea is I will live your life, you will live mine, and we both all live as all the cattle, all the roaches, all the birds, all the worms, all the blades of grass. This is the concept of karma. All harm and joy you create, you will experience yourself. We're all one. We are just tiny aspects of the creator. We will experience everything possible over time. Time is simply an illusion in this concept.
If this is true, be nice to one another. Even if it's not true, be nice to one another. What harm does this create?
If this is true though, we are compelled to make a better world, aren't we? This concept of karma is ancient. We are all one, and all harm and good, we experience ourselves at some point. This is contrary to Christianity, but is it bad? I don't think so.
What will be, will be.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
How many children do you have? I assume none. Because you seem to be a little bit light in your loafers and have no interest in children, except for who knows what?
Seems like I read about a drag show being put on for kids somewhere every day. I guess I just don't get it. If it's not for recruiting purposes, then why do they do this for kids?
Searching "drag show for kids" gives over 35M hits, many of which document drag queen shows being staged for children to attend, often in their classrooms.
Here you go Birtha. Check out all the corporate sponsors as well
https://www.dragstoryhour.org/
I suspect you know this is more about parents demanding that their thoughts be taken into consideration when choosing the content of the schooling that they and other taxpayers fund. And I encourage teachers and administrators to push back against that with performative protests like elementary school drag shows. This will hasten the elimination of monopoly government schools and give cover to legislators who might otherwise oppose an all-voucher education funding scheme.
I don't watch television at all, and I don't care if you screw up your kids, and let sexually unique people indoctrinate them. It just increases the likelihood of terminating your gene line.
Transgender your kids, it just sterilizes them. Want to have an abortion up to the moment of birth? Go ahead. Want to allow your kid to be groomed - that's fine with me. I feel badly for your child, but it's your child.
It's not my place to prevent you from allowing your child from being damaged. I can warn you against it, but I won't stand in your way. Go ahead.
You seek to minimize the threat. Likening it to “build the wall”. In the meantime over 5 million illegal aliens have crossed the border under biden. Sometimes when there’s great alarm, we need to sit up and pay attention.
These freaks need nooses or double ought buckshot between their eyes. Perhaps Birtha can do the honors. Go get ‘em tiger 🐯
Excellent comparison.
I wonder how the Dems would feel about half naked women pole dancing for the teen boys?
Schumer and Biden would probably hand out dollar bills.
Your heterophobia is showing.
In all sincerity, read this article on the topic. It does an excellent job explaining what grooming is and how it works.

Thanks for being willing to do so.
For maybe a year now I have been trying to bring this forward #womanface. I am not the only one but it hasn't received much traction . I honestly don't see how womanface is any different from blackface. Dylan Mulvaney is exactly this. As a woman, I am offended by men posing as cartoon caricatures of women. (Mulvanely is a 1950's cartoon woman.) I guess men do rule the world.
Indeed I have made this point, calling it “woman face” in my Substack https://citizenzeus.substack.com/p/what-is-up-with-the-new-war-on-women
No, no. Doing it as comedy in a movie like Buster Keaton, Bugs Bunny, Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, is one thing.
Exposing it to children and convincing them that a man wearing a dress is a type of woman is another.
There was an excellent essay on this I read the other day, on just grooming operates.
They're doing it in libraries, schools, and houses of worship (churches and synagogues, much to their everlasting shame).
If it was only in nightclubs and bars, I wouldn't care the slightest either.
Look harder. It’s there. If you think Fox is making it up, you’re wrong. I have seen this play out in Memphis & if it’s going on there, it’s everywhere. There was enough that they banned gender drugs and drag shows for kids, finally. People who object to the new ban cannot explain WHY kids need to see drag, WHAT does the child gain? To me, it’s obviously grooming and luring children into sexuality and pedophilia eventually.
Why are liberals so angry with Ron DeSantis keeping gender issues out of the classroom, if it's not really happening anyway? Would people be angry about a law to keep leprechauns out of the classroom?
Of course it's happening, and liberals are frantic to keep it going.
Birtha, you can enter into your browser ‘drag shows for kids near me’ and you will find them. It’s a thing
There's a chasm of difference between powder puff football and doing drag as a lifestyle. Surely, you can see that? Trump didn't have to create a distraction by the Tran crowd. They're very adept at doing that all on their own.
It's all so disgusting. I miss liking liberals. I like sane ones even though we won't agree but most of the libs I know are the diehard Trump haters.
What are the principles of liberals anyhow?
Not free and unfettered speech. Not education. Not honesty. Not anti-war. Not principles. I don't recognize them.
Their guiding principle now is just naked power.
Power, no boundaries, and no ethics, including in parenting their kids.
“Liberal”. Another word redefined by the Left. Along with “progressive”. I used them to define myself as verbs. Not nouns. It’s just beyond sad.
Yeah, I don't ever say I'm part of a group at this point. Groups go bad. I'll tell people what my principles are, but if they say "oh, you're a liberal" or "oh, you're a conservative" I'll point out how they are incorrect to say that.
I believe in free speech, I don't believe in racism at all, I oppose war, I believe false propaganda is always bad (propaganda CAN be true), I believe in truthfulness, I believe in education, I don't care at all about homosexuality between adults, I oppose children being indoctrinated into understanding what homosexuality is before they know what sex is, I don't think a child can be gay, or transSEXUAL, or trans at all. I believe people should be able to practice religion, although I'm not very religious at all, I don't believe in central authority, I believe that with central power, it always leads to corruption.
Am I liberal or conservative? Labels are not useful.
Trump clouds every aspect of liberal thinking, judgment and personality. Trump encompasses everything they are. It’s rather humorous but yet sad.
Trump is living in their brains rent free - and actually enjoying it : )
Have you ever had a friend that was obnoxious and loud and said stupid things? But you were still friends, maybe you didn't hang around as much but you still liked him? That's Donald Trump. Most of the GOP hates him. When Trump was elected he disrupted the establishment, he disrupted the general sameness that has been going on for years in D.C.. That's why they hate him and that's why I voted for him. Anyone who could piss off the uniparty as much as he has was the guy for me.
Trump challenges the status quo which most are too timid to do...
Imagine the media hanging around you, all day, every day, with the intention of recording and highlighting the worst things you say or do, and then presenting those things to the public in the most inflammatory manner possible - and if they have to be dishonest to do so, then so be it.
Factually, most of the worst Trump moments (Drinking bleach, mocking a disabled reporter, hydroxychloroquine) were OUTRIGHT LIES, designed to mislead and inflame.
Yes, the guy was and is controversial, but the media CAUSED "Trump Derangement Syndrome" far more than Donald Trump himself ever did.
The blatant lies of the MSM biased me in Trump's favor. I bet they skewed a lot of others that way too.
I'm one of them! I did not vote for him in 2016 as I couldn't. For the record I didn't vote for Hillary either, I just abstained. Consciously I couldn't vote. It was COVID coverage of Trump that I realized how much they skewed and lied about him. I started to really pay attention and was appaled. So thanks MSM for openig my eye and I've seen differntly since.
I used to believe that the Republicans had perfected the art of slant and distortion. But it seems the Dems have taken it to a new and previously unimaginable level.
It's nothing new. But neither is corruption of any sort.
And it won't get ANY better unless we call it out - all the time, every time.
Trump acts badly? Explain. Give examples.
Most Republicans are diehard Pelosi/Schumer/Schiff haters as well...and with good resaon
Anybody with an ounce of decency hate Pelosi, Schumer and Shiff - as well as George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Mitt Romney, John Kerry, Al Gore, Barack Obama, John McCain, Dennis Hastert.. The list is endless. There's so MUCH scum in our federal government.
I'm not a Trump lover. I wanted Cruz in '16. If it was a saner time I would prefer DeSantis today. I do believe 2020 was stolen. Not because Trump said so, but because the charade made it obvious.
What is it about Trump supporters that's comparable to BLM? To Antifa? To drag queen story hour? To tempting World War 3 with Russia?
I don't get the hatred, unless it's the people who bullied others are suddenly confronted with someone treating them the way they've treated others. A John Kreese suddenly faced with Mr. Miyogi.
There's an old game theory puzzle called Prisoner's Dilemma.
It goes like this.
Two men are arrested. The DA puts them in separate cells. He needs more evidence to convict, and the only way to do that is if he can get the men to squeal on his friend. So he visits each in turn.
"All right. You have a choice: Give evidence on your friend, or stay silent. If you both stay silent, I can't convict you. But I will get you on process crimes. Loitering. Unlicensed gun. And I'll put you both in jail for one year."
"Now if you both give evidence, I have a stronger case. And you will both face trial. And you both will serve 8 years."
"But before you clam out, think about this. If you stay quiet but your friend gives evidence against you, I'm going to let him go free and I will put the full weight of the law on you, and see to it you have 20 years in prison. On the other hand, if you squeal and your friend stays silent, then he'll get 20 years in prison, and I'll let you out, free as a bird. I'll give you a few minutes to think it over."
Both men are better off if they stay quiet than if they give evidence.
But the question is: do they trust their friend?
If they trust their friend, both will stay silent.
If they don't trust their friend, both will give evidence. And it's not because they want to go free! It's that they would rather serve 8 years than 20. That's a 12 year difference. They give evidence to protect themselves from being a sucker.

In a high-trust society, people will trust each other more and do what's best for everyone.
But in a low-trust society, you have to be more aggressive to survive.
When the Democrats throw decorum out the window and weaponize the government against their political enemies, the ONLY rational approach of the Republicans is to do likewise.
To not do so is suicide.
Some Republicans will pick suicide, sure. "Oh, they are throwing Trump and his supporters in prison -- if I'm quiet ,maybe they'll leave me alone?"
That's to the famous poem which ends: "When they came for me, there was no one left to speak for me."
So some may resist. "If Dems are throwing Republicans in prison over made-up charges, for political advantage, we got to fight fire with fire. There's no other choice."
What happens then?
Whatever it is, it won't be pretty. There may be the mutual respect kind of like the Mutually-Assured Destruction between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
But one thing is going away. And that is Trust.
Trust is gone.
Frankly, it's been gone since 2020 but now more people will recognize it.
I'll admit I wasn't around for Watergate.
I heard something intriguing recently that I never knew before.
And it was the question of whether or not Richard Nixon asked too many questions about how his predecessor, Kennedy, actually died.
Maybe Watergate was orchestrated by the same people who removed JFK from the board. Only, they decided to raise fewer questions by making it less bloody.
Maybe Trump was removed for the same reason.
I'm just speculating here.
That’s the politicians saying that yes? Or am I mistaken.
Trump supporters know he’s not perfect.
We call out his Vax support and other wrongs.
Democrats are so hive minded, it’s like they will lose their grasp on the life raft if they admit, Democrats are evil now.
Beyond evil.
Blatant stupidity and corruption.
I'd agree, I wouldn't call myself a "diehard Trump supporter", I just despise the criminal mafia that has been running my government for something like 30 years.
I don’t know any die hard Trump supporters.
I know supporters of our Country, Constitution, Freedom.
Trump was a a supporter of those beliefs too.
Trump loves our Country.
So Trump had support of people that supported our Country.
Especially after the nose dive it took under Bush, Bush, Clinton, Obama.
"GOP are outright saying in Wisconsin they will use their temp super majority to impeach every democrat in statewide office or judge."
Look, IF they are saying this, show video of them saying this.
You can post links here. I'm so tired of the lies. There's constant unrelenting lies. We've had the ability to do hyperlinks for 30 years, why don't people use them?
I'm not saying you're lying.
I'm saying if you make a claim, back it up. If you want to change minds, provide evidence along with your claim. YOU are making this claim, it's YOUR job to look it up, not make everybody else look it up each individual time. This wastes time for everybody. Why are you forcing people to each look it up? You say there's a needle in the haystack of the Internet, well, you claim to know where it is to, why make everybody dig? Maybe you're telling the truth, you can easily prove you are.
Here, Derek Chauvin died from a drug overdose after resisting arrest violently for over 5 minutes. You know how I know?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkEGGLu_fNU
The entire bodycam footage is online - at about 6:20 - you can see Floyd REALLY resist. You can see if for yourself. I'm read with links. Chavin is an innocent man, who was railroaded into prison.
Want another? The US overthrew Syria in 2014. How do we know this? Victoria Nuland had a phone call intercepted with Geoffrey Pyatt, in Feb 4, 2014 in which she was picking the next "leader" (puppet) of the United States to run that country.
Here's the transcript:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957
Here's the audio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSxaa-67yGM
You can check the date on that video, it's Feb 4.
She picked Arseniy Yatseniuk who did indeed become the next leader, and this was 2 weeks and 4 days before Vikto Yanukovych fled office:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viktor_Yanukovych
On Feb 22, 2014.
I can rattle these off, because I have done this hundreds of times before.
You can do it just ONCE, I think. See - I want to convince people, and I want to find errors in my claims, if I'm wrong. I've been wrong many times, but when I'm corrected, I cease being wrong.
I think part of the polarization on the right stems from decades, and I'm not exaggerating DECADES, of trying to keep the political pendulum from swinging as far left as it has. But with the Democrats, it's like, 'give an inch, take a mile.' My heart is heavy for our country, and many on the right are just at their wits end with what to do. I think that's why we saw what happened on Jan 6 on the capitol.
When have you been at your wits end, so frustrated that you might lash out, or throw something (hopefully not at somebody)?
Absolutely, I felt that republicans had been playing nasty tricks with election results for some time. But the nastiest trick I had ever seen was when HRC & Debbie Whatsername Schlutz stole the nomination from Bernie. A longtime liberal, I was so disgusted with them that I threw away my vote on Jill Stein.
I voted against DJT, twice. Now I'm realizing that he is perhaps the greatest president of our times. At least he had balls enough to try and approach the job with an eye toward leveling the opacity and hypocrisy. But it is AWFULLY hard to do that without getting some on ya.
The establishment is so triggered by DJT that they are doing everything in their power to neutralize him.
Benj, "Now I'm realizing that he is perhaps the greatest president of our times" WOW!!! That's quite the 180! DJT definitely had(s) his faults for sure. Skirting the law with what he could do legally but questionable (don't they all though) but I agree he campaigned on "Drain the Swamp" and having lived in the DC area for most of my life until recently, it is just that, a pretty swamp. I love the city. I loath the politics. And DJT didn't just go after the democrats - we've seen that by the way he's taunting DeSantis.
But think about it. He was intent on draining the swamp and making moves to do it. All those swamp creatures don't want to have their swamp drained though.
Obama was very polarizing. He started the censorship of journalists. He encouraged the race baiters. In fact, I remember watching his first inaugeration and that Reverend Wright was speaking and one of the things he said was, " when white makes right.." Dinesh Desouza went to jail for some minor campaign infraction because he released a documentary, 'Obama's America'. If you haven't seen it it's worth it. You don't believe Mr. Magoo is really in charge do you?
I disagree, and here's why: Obama moved us further into position for whatever this "great reset" marxist revolution is happening now, incrementally strengthening "patriot act" measures of surveillance and control. Whereas DJT moved to challenge and loosen the deep state, albeit clumsily and ineffectively.
And he was RIGHT about hydroxychloroquine, dammit.
Bumper sticker I saw: "Would you let a Democrat babysit your child?"
Hell no
Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy! No recognition of the role they have played in stoking animus across the board. The unbalanced hyper-reaction to Trump's very existence as President has created more lasting damage than anything Trump did (at least prior to losing the 2020 election).
Please understand that I say this as a NON-fan of Trump and that I never wanted him to be President. But he was duly elected according to our Constitution, and immediately the influencers on the left (including the ostensibly unbiased media) deemed him illegitimate and even began a campaign to get electors to change their votes (a less violent but no less egregious attempt to undo the results of an election).
I have huge issues with Republicans, too... but can see clearly that some of their actions/positions that are most loathed on the left are in fact a result of the extremism on that side. It's like a horrible game of tug of war, and the harder that the left pulls in one direction, the harder that the right also has to pull... 2 extremes and no middle ground.
I understand why people felt Trump was (and is) a threat - but it is in the most challenging times that we need to lean into our laws and constitution, not suspend them or try ever more "creative" ways to ignore them.
Trump was and is a threat.
His election demonstrated we do indeed have a deep state, seems like the main functionaries are the intelligence agencies, that our DOJ is corrupt, that selective prosecution is common, that we have a two tiered justice system, that our intelligence agencies are corrupt, that law enforcement will frame innocent people, and let criminals burn down city blocks, that our FIB will withhold exonerating evidence for trials, and our "mainstream media" is nothing but complete propaganda.
Trump is VERY flawed, but he was the first president in 40 years not to start a new war. That's a step up, but the bar is now buried 6 feet below. Our last presidents have been complete garbage. We have bombed 7 nations under Barack Obama, and George W. Bush. Can you even name these nations?
No. We don't have a free press, we have propaganda. Actual free press isn't even allowed on Facebook, Twitter or Google now.
Never in a million years would I have guessed it could happen, or that I would admit it out loud, but the republican party is the only one of the two that still contains *some* people of integrity.
Rand Paul has some, so does Thomas Massie. Even Marjorie Taylor Green, although she makes errors.
There were good people in the DNC. I really respected Barbara Lee, she voted against the Afghanistan war, highly principled. The DNC also had Mike Gravel, he read the Pentagon Papers into the congressional record, they threatened him with treason charges for doing that - he did this to prove the Gulf of Tonkin Incident never happened, it was a false flag to bring us into the Vietnam war.
There's good people in both parties, but at the Federal level, you can count them on your fingers. Nancy Pelosi is garbage, so is Mitt Romney, and John McCain, Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry. They are all the same, puppets. Neocon puppets.
I never thought in a MILLION YEARS I'd be happy with a glorified carnival barker, but Trump didn't drag us into a new war. It's been CARTER since we had a president that refused that.
I forgot Thomas Massie, love that guy! Byron Donalds, too.
I remember those moments w Barbara Lee and Mike Gravel, that's from way back when I was sure that Dems were always going to be better than repubs.
Dems, I liked Al Franken a lot. His expulsion caused me to lose even more respect for the democrats and their "standards of ideological purity".
Exactly right about the neo-con puppets. They are RINOs and together w the Democrats make the Uniparty that we need to vote out asap.
Sen. Tim Scott has also worked hard on police reform to no avail - the Democrats turn a deaf ear to him even though he's their preferred skin color...go figure?
Ron DeSantis, Joe Ladapo, Krist Noem, Rand Paul, Chip Roy, JD Vance, Rob Portman, the AG of Nebraska Doug Peterson, MN gubernatorial candidate Dr Scott Jensen, Winsome Sears, Mayra Flores, off the top of my head.
No, it's ALL propaganda. I've give you some simple rules:
If you cannot comment on it, it's propaganda - no comment section, it's propaganda.
If your comments are shadowbanned or deleted, it's propaganda, you won't be the only one having your comments deleted.
That eliminates EVERYTHING in the "mainstream media". Fox news, CNN, PBS, NY Times, it's all propaganda. Rachael Maddow doesn't make $50,000 a day because she informs you, she makes that kind of money because she MISINFORMS you. Same thing with Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson, everybody.
I gave up on the Left a long time ago. It was their rhetoric about "supporting working families" and then catering to coastal elites and the upper middle class that changed my mind. Now they are just a collection of entitled boomers, indoctrinated millennials and thuggish crazies.
"I miss the Left I used to know. I miss when they were decent and sensible people instead of a fanatic cult throwing fits when they don’t get their way."
Sasha, I feel the same way, although truth be told, my experience is that there has long/forever been
an intolerant/dogmatic/rage-filled element on the Left...In the past, I have known/worked with some of these people. Just never thought they would attain the power that they now have. But here we are.
As well as a preening, sanctimonious element on the Left preaching their (supposed) moral superiority.
And their intellectual superiority.
"fanatic cult throwing fits when they don’t get their way" - and there you have it.
This country is getting hard to recognize. The inmates are definitely in charge of the asylum.
Do you ever try to have a discussion about politics or the state of our nation with anyone on the left? It doesn’t go well. I always feel talked down to and they think they are right no matter what the subject is about. I have many family members that are far left. It can be so challenging and usually means we just have to avoid it altogether. And that makes it so awkward to carry on a conversation because of the condition we are in as a nation and how life connects to it.
It feels good to come here. To read or listen to Sasha’s posts and to read what others think when they comment. It helps me feel less crazy for what I believe to see others also are where I am in my thoughts and beliefs.
Hey Sasha,
I just came from the rally outside the court house on Lafayette St. In lower Manhattan. It’s totally calm. There are two groups separated by cops and a corridor of bike racks. The groups are leaving each other alone. Unseasonably warm today at 70 degrees. I walked around both groups.
There are a ton of expensive cameras and microphones with foam rubber branded wind socks in every direction. More on the Trump side. At times is looks like 1:1 reporters to protesters.
I saw one guy trying to taunt Trump supporters. He was ignored by the Trump faithful but got an interview with some blogger who was grilling him. He was totally unprepared to answer questions and looked old enough to be FBI. Like 40s and taunting without passion. I should have taken his picture. I took a lot of pictures but mostly just the crazy cast of NYC characters, Naked Cowboy, etc.
Things could change but looked harmless when I left
I forgot to mention, on the Dem side they were chanting about opposing the KKK and racism.
How ironic - the KKK was founded Democrat Party is the early 1900's
Heck yeah Sasha, I’m 100% with you. I’m still trying to get through to the majority of my liberal friends & family to leave their echo chamber and see through all this madness, like folks such as you and I have. It’s a tough sell though as people really become attached to their beliefs and ideologies...
God bless you Sasha Stone. We need to end the Woke mass hysteria.
This is about protecting our Republic. It’s not about Republicans or Democrat’s. It’s about US Citizens standing against Tyranny which always devolves into Communism.
Stand for Freedom!We must protect our Constitution.
There is no viable alternative.
Let's not forget the days when the Left colluded with communists and sympathized with their "socialist" ways in Nicaragua and Venezuela. You just woke up. But I love ya.
You know it's bad when a dyed in the wool Democrat who campaigned for Hillary says she will do everything I can to ensure they lose in 2024. I used to toss a few Democrats in the mix, local elections and such, but since the 2016 election and after, I knew they were nuts and I will never cast a vote for a Democrat. Even for County Weed commissioner. Or Dog Poop Specialist. They can live in their own fantasy land which unfortunately they like to do even while the ship sinks.
yup - I left the party in 2008 - can't imagine ever voting for one again either...the entire party is unhinged
I submit, Sasha, the left you thought you once knew wasn't the Left, at all, but the more classical-liberal-leaning center.
The Left, historically has been authoritarian.
Maybe, or they were just hiding their real feelings. They finally went nuts when Trump was elected.
I miss just being able to talk to a liberal...to have a rational, unemotional discussion, without worrying about triggering someone, without being yelled at or called names, just a calm chat about about what's going on in our country. I'd like to try to understand where they're coming from, and to have them try to understand my concerns. But I can't. My heart breaks, I cry for my country.
Have faith: history has many examples of a persecuted people coming out stronger and more resilient for their sufferings. Then again the Dark Ages lasted 600 years.....
At this point I cannot think of a single excuse for anyone to remain loyal to the Democratic Party. The only good democrat is an ex-democrat. My flag is now at half mast.
Where all my old school hippy dippy liberals at?!? The ones who value individuality, nonviolence, creativity, freedom of expression & unity via sharing unique perspectives w/o judgement. Who can agree to disagree, live & let live & push back against the establishment built on greed, profit over people & planet?!?
haha, believe it or not, I'm a hippy-dippy conservative libertarian. Everything you describe in your comment is me! haha. I love my herb, my astrology and spirituality, my meditation, yoga, forest bathing, and universal connectedness. I am not your stereotypical, close-minded conservative. I've never voted for a democrat because I could see where that would lead (where we are now) and have always believed the government should have zero influence on my daily life - good or bad because then I become dependent on an entity that doesn't give a shit about me.
Same here. I think we're called "conservatarians". I'm a vet, but when I got out, I moved into a little cabin in the woods north of Fairbanks, Alaska and lived a very libertarian-bohemian lifestyle (while at university), though most of my friends are liberals, I part way on their politics which I view as being based on division, exclusion, green-unicornism, and eventual fascism. I'm also a professional scientist (30+ years), which requires me to analyze every issue objectively. Nevertheless, I have voted for Democrats including the last two general elections ---> Jim Webb in 2016 & Tulsi Gabbard in 2020. I vote my conscience which is remarkably liberating.
1) LOVE Alaska! I found my soul there and never let go.
2) Conservatarians. I like it. It's a little contrarian, which I'll happily own when it comes to always looking at something from a different perspective.
3) I live on the water in a rural area. We grow our own vegs, local meat, chicken, fish. I moved out of the DC area in 2021. Before this I was entertaining the thought vanlife and living on the road. WHICH I still want to do even if only for a year.o
I love the diversity of my friends. Many of whom are also liberals, very bohemian. I love that we just embrace life.
Right on! Sounds like you've discovered the secret to life.
well, I don't know if it's THE secret to life but it certainly is the secret to MY life and I love my life dearly. I'm grateful every moment of every day. I think you've found your paradise in your cabin in AK!
No question about that. Every time I return to lower America, I'm reminded that I live in the best place on the planet -- at least for me. My wife is an Alaska native so this is normal for her. We were visiting in-laws last October with a road trip in the northwest and I was absolutely shocked with Portland. It used to be a nice city. We were terrified of breaking down while driving through the city. It reminded me of Hong Kong in the 60s and Jakarta in the 70s or D.C. after the '68 riots. It's just getting so weird in the new America.
I’m a vet also and am mostly against the neo-cons of the Uniparty that never lose an opportunity to turn a minor conflict into an endless war. Thanks for your service.
Likewise. We're seeing a resurgence of neo-con policy all over again.
I could have written this myself lol!
I like your style!
Trump happened and they revealed their true selves.
"old school hippy dippy liberals"
In Berkeley, CA those called themselves the "Free Speech Movement"
Imagine that! A movement to foster (egad!) Free Speech. On the Left!
Yes, the Free Speech Movement started with Mario Savio in Berkeley (my home town). Believe it or not, the Left used to be the good guys, but the script has been flipped.
I’ve been getting In comment wars with an old hippy friend on FB. He just doesn’t seem to get it.
There are only two people that can make smart people totally lose their minds. Donald Trump and Jesus Christ. If you try to speak about either one, they explode.
Who says they're 'smart' ?- not being able to focus and argue logically isn't necessarily 'smart' but rather shows a deficit of emotional control.
President Trump is the only one standing up for the US Constitution, and the rule of law, both of which the Democrats have trashed in a seditious fit. Those who still support the rule of law must work to finance and support GOP efforts at legal ballot harvesting, early and mail-in voting, which, if effective, will make the difference in 2024. Remember, less than 50,000 votes in several swing states made the difference between President Trump and Biden in 2020.
Seething personal hate has caused the left to turn this great country into a banana republic
Trump arrested for something no other person would be arrested for. Hillary Clinton NOT arrested for something any other person would have been jailed for. And there is not a democrat to be found who can see that?
It's true - the worst part was that Democrats wouldn't back up their guy...I am not a Dem but I do think he was booted put unjustly for just a prank...he was and remains a comedian for God's sake
The media who rejoiced at the Trump indictment is saying in unison that today “Is a solemn day,” and putting on their best sad faces. I’m so sick of their gaslighting. They disgust me.
Hear, hear!
The days of real debate on issues that mattered to Americans is over.
The Communist Left occupies the
Democrat party and all branches of government including the FBI.
It ain’t over till the fat lady sings. She was a Viking with horns. Oh my, I did my DNA test. I am a Viking. I am not the only one. Queue Wagner’s “ Ring des Nebulungen”. And the Flight of the Valkeries…..brown hair , piercing blue eyes, full Viking…. Call the thought police now 🤠
Thank you for your honest heartfelt words. I appreciate your speaking up about the radicals. My liberal friends who still follow the Dem narrative makes me wonder why. These friends are intelligent and driven decent humans that should be outraged. It’s as if their political beliefs have been usurped and replaced with phony outrage. Enough is enough. The gay agenda achieved what they demanded, but now has been overtaken with queer, trans, pedophilic attractions which are extremely radical. The weaponization of our justice systems, DOJ down into Soros funded DAs, has thrust criminals and activists to do harm with no repercussions while J6 peaceful protestors are locked up for 2 years without a trial or even medical care. Everyone should be sounding the alarm. This is not our country, it has been taken from us with the selection of Biden.
The old Left always had an affectation for anti Western dictatorships like Cuba, East Germany and the Soviet Union. You could never find an example where they criticized those without being forced. Those totalitarian instincts are just more visible today.
This was symbolized by the trip to Cuba of a few activists... so they could go to Guantanamo to protest US human rights violations.
The real Liberals, those who support individual liberty, limited government and personal freedom date back to John Stuart Mill and Edmund Burke. No chance today's leftists will want to learn from those white European men.
> "The Democrats have manufactured their own crisis for seven years and they’re dragging the country through pain and polarization just to stay in power."
We need to understand that the so-called "left" is all about power. It does not share our belief in the rule of law or indeed in the Constitution of the United States. They hate it all and want to burn it to the ground. They want to replace it with some sort of woke utopia, which even they don’t understand is going to be a hellish A.I.-run technocratic nightmare. They can’t see that their own strings are being pulled by truly dark forces who don’t give a crap about them, except insofar as they act as useful idiots. They have no real understanding of history or how many millennia it took a struggling humanity to reach the point where Lex Rex rather than Rex Lex.
They hate the west, our cultural heritage, religious traditions and enlightenment values. You can't argue with them because they won't engage in debate; instead they shout and scream and try to de-platform anyone who opposes them. They use our own liberal sense of fair play and compassion against us. It is the very definition of evil.
Power is what they want. They are fanatics of the worst kind. All of it is wrapped in doublespeak about "diversity" and "equity". What they really don't want is a meritocracy and any recognition of individual achievement and personal excellence. That's because it shows them to be the losers they are. They want to hide their failure to thrive by melting into an “oppressed” group and blaming it on something else - starting with a blanket condemnation of "white people". They want to hand out positions of power and responsibility based not on competence (“that’s racist!”), but on skin color, or some other arbitrary woke criteria du jour, which can only lead to the failure of institutions and systems, as we are now starting to witness. When this madness reaches the cockpits of airlines, we are going to see planes fall out of the sky.
Indeed, there are many black and other "people of color" (God, I hate that stupid PC phrase!) who resent the idea that they are victims, somehow incapable of competing on a level playing field. The whole idea is so utterly condescending it makes any thinking person sick.
Until we recognize who these people really are - a bunch of anti-American creeps who want to take us into some kind of techno-totalitarian nightmare - we can't fight them.
The whole woke/trans ideology is anti-intellectual and anti-American. It needs to be crushed under foot like a filthy cigarette butt and tossed in the garbage can.
'Shiny object distraction.’ Jesus, the Messiah, came to reconcile all who will put their trust in the finished work of the cross and His Ressurection to the Father. "So the pride of man will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day, and the idols will vanish completely. Men will flee to caves in the rocks and holes in the ground, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth. In that day men will cast away to the moles and bats their idols of silver and gold—the idols they made to worship. They will flee to caverns in the rocks and crevices in the cliffs, away from the terror of the LORD and from the splendor of His majesty, when He rises to shake the earth. Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?" -Isaiah 2: 17-22
Yo LDT, bring it home; what’s your point?
My point is that this is kabuki theater of the absurd. We are weighed down on all sides with abominable pride, we need to turn away from all of this and look to Jesus for our hope.
I would never argue against that. Thanks LDT
Amen, sister! It has been incredible witnessing some of the most intelligent people get captured by this hysteria in real time.
No way any of them are “some of the most intelligent people”. they’re bullies.
Maybe the "Left" once cared about things such as the Rule of Law, election integrity, working class Americans, and leaving a better nation for the next generation, but there has long been an undercurrent to the left that cares about control, power, and destruction. This goes back to the Fabian socialists, and for that matter to Marx and Engels. In this nation, the left planted deadly seeds in 1913 (the year America's doom was likely sealed), cheered the Nazis and especially the Soviets in the 1920s and 30s (ignoring the Holodomor was especially shameful), ran a radical test in the 1960s, and, finally, used the Long March through the institutions to turn this nation into a tyranny. Yes, the political right (the other half of the Uniparty) contributed mightily, but theirs was a contribution of grift and convenience. The plot was charted and the ship steered by hardcore leftists who hate everything about America and about freedom in general.
As for 2024, the fix is already in. 2020 was surely rigged, unless you believe that negative poll totals (Trump's vote numbers declining in real time - something impossible sans cheating), hiding the poll workers, mysterious boxes and truckloads of ballots showing North Korea levels of uniformity, and documented evidence of ballot box stuffing mean nothing. They mean everything, and they mean that no person that opposes the deep state/leftist/Uniparty empire stands a chance. They learned their lesson in 2016 (they are hated and people will vote against them), they learned their lesson in 2020 (the media and the courts would let them cheat), and they have learned their lesson in 2022 (they can send their shock troops and Fibbies into the streets to dissuade dissidence). I hope, I pray I am wrong, but I do not see elections making any difference at any level above local.
No, they never cared at all about anything except power for power’s sake. To command and control free American citizens for their harebrained scams like CRT, global warming hysteria, and homosexuality.
I’m sick and tired of the right playing defense… when will we play offense now that our Constitutional Republic is over!?!? Although the liberal lawyer Susan Estrich calls the 34 count indictment as “chopped liver and there’s no there there”, I’m so sad, angry and apprehensive for our children!!
Yep, and we struggle not with flesh and blood but the spirits of evil in high places. How else can we explain the current depictions of gender-fluid and amoral behaviors that are reminiscent of the ancient pagan gods?
Greed and a passion for power explains a lot of it.
The Dems have been waiting for this since Trump won in 16. They want to punish anyone who wasn't crying their eyes out that night. The same way trans and feminist activists want to punish the entire world, especially the happy and good looking people for being born fat and ugly
Hard to beat the Biden team with an unlimited number of mail-in votes that can be generated in PA and other Rust Belt states as needed late at night. Ballot Harvesting is a very effective legal tool, exploiting uninformed or low-propensity voters.
I know that it isn’t as easy for the Rs, but imo, they must get out front with their own harvesting. I believe the Rs did this in Florida to great effect. I dislike this voting system, but it’s what we’ve got right now. If the Rs ever get power back they can fix the system then if so inclined.
Heard something really depressing.
Democrats tend to be urban. Republicans tend to be Rural.
With cities at their stronghold, it's relatively easy to steal the unsolicited universal mail in ballots. Go to an apartment complex. Raid them from 200 mailboxes at once. Walk down the block, do it again.
Not as easy when you have a bunch of houses to travel between in the suburbs.
But there's one place Republicans could have an edge. That would be churches.
Damn shame the Republicans stabbed them in the back earlier this year with the (Dis)respect for Marriage act.
Big mistake is pretending there are two parties, not one Uniparty whose existence is to present the illusion of choice to voters.
You got that right.
Well yes on the uni but….
The R’s are learning and winning locally in CA as well
I agree with Sasha that the Democratic Party must be taken down; they are far too powerful, far too unaccountable, far too corrupt, and far too insane. But that's what happens when you combine absolute institutional power with a mass formation psychosis -- the requisite grassroots component of totalitarianism -- like Trump Derangement Syndrome: chaos, incoherence, and moral turpitude reign supreme.
But totalitarianism in the 21st-century confluence of default addiction and too big to fail didn't just happen. Neither of these things were the unintended consequences of bad plans or a failure to plan. They are the plan. It took generations for the Democrats to insinuate themselves institutionally. It took generations to move us from a God fearing nation to a nation conditioned to fear everything except God. Generations were required over the past century to replace the meaningful Judeo-Christian ethics and classic Jeffersonian liberalism of the Enlightenment with the mindless moral relativism, bureaucratic illiberalism, and polytheistic narcissism of today. Generations were required to replace the meaningful rituals in our lives — like observance of the sabbath day and the family dinner table — with the mindless rituals of our obsessions and addictions. Generations were required to convert the news media from a blue-collar trade with unions and guilds whose job it was to expose state power, to an elite white-collar profession festooned with Ivy League diplomas whose job is now to defend and promote state power. As such, multiple generations may be required to restore institutional balance, equilibrium, and trust.
Remember, MAGA is still young, and is just now beginning to assert itself on a grassroots basis. Remember also that Trump isn't the real target; he's just in the way. You and Sasha and I and everyone who stands up to speak out are the real targets. MAGA and BREXIT and the Sanderistas and all other populist movements are the real targets.
The forces arrayed against us are real, immensely powerful, and wholly unaccountable to anyone. They will not tolerate dissent or populism of any stripe. The technomedia cartel, vaccine mandates, central bank digital currencies, and global gun control are all tools of class warfare deployed by the global elite against you and Sasha and me and poor and middle class people of all colors worldwide.
We have been trained and groomed over generations to seek solutions and answers outside ourselves. In the end, however, the most important institutions we can enforce and protect are our own families and our own communities. Totalitarians live in constant fear of strong families and strong communities because strong families and strong communities refuse to replace real faith with false gods. Strong families and strong communities protect their children first. Like politics, the real battles and the real challenges to totalitarianism and tyranny are always local. In what I call the Great Age of Addiction, moderation and local autonomy are the only sustainable responses to tyranny.
The forces of true evil are upon us. They won't go away anytime soon, and they will always come for our children. Think moderation in all things. Think quality of life as a function of how and were and with whom we invest our time and faith. Think Local Act Local first...
You are correct. First, we need to live for and to protect our families. Then expand outward to our Churches and Synagogues. And then our close neighbors. Rod Dreher has an excellent book on forming small Christian communities, “The Benedict Option”. He is referring to an ancient Bishop of Rome. Rod is now a Slavic Orthodox living in Bucharest. He seems to favor ecumenism within the Christian community, the true invisible church, the universal church. Ask him for more details on that. This is just my perception based on his blog posts. This idea is sound. Committed Christians have big hearts and we welcome Orhodox Jews like Dennis Prager into our thoughts and prayers. Please, no psychopathic woke people, they belong to Satan.
Thanks, Tom. I'll check out "The Benedict Option". Always interested in how religious communities protect themselves from the institutional and cultural assault on their values and lifestyles. Also, I'll be launching a new Substack blog in the next month or two: Quality of Life Toolkit. It will explore the 21st-century rise of a new Huxwellian tyranny in the confluence of state-sponsored default addiction and runaway digital scale, and how it destroys the quality of life -- spiritual, social, emotional, and physical -- for individuals, families, and local communities. Further, it will issue two primary calls to action: the restoration of moderation as the only viable response to state-sponsored default addiction, and a return to local autonomy as the only meaningful and enduring response to runaway digital scale. Finally, it will offer a suite of simple diagnostic and remedial tools -- designed for application by individuals, families, and local communities alike -- to answer the above calls to action and restore spiritual, social, emotional, and physical quality to our lives. Stay tuned...
There's just no positive vision. It's all attacking history and America and retaining power. Although I am intrigued by Glenn Greenwalds take that the real dividing line in politics today is establishment vs anti establishment rather than left vs right. That's why they call people like Joe Rogan or Matt Taibbi right wingers. Trying to force things into the old paradigm.
Matt Taibi? He was a journalist at Rolling Stone Magazine. Would you consider this a right wing conservative MAGA organ of dissent? Hahahahahahah 😂
Yep that's my point.
No worries, Sasha, we know exactly what the weak Leftists are up to and we will not bite into their violent world.
Ok last comment from me.
@barnes_law states : The Constitutional predicate for indictment, trial or sentencing of a former President requires first impeachment by the House and conviction in the Senate. Trump was acquitted by the Senate. This indictment violates the Constitution.
Also:
@Cernovich: The Trump indictment, which I read, would be laughable in any other circumstance. It’s the same offense copied and pasted 34 times, with the date changed each time. This is the biggest farce I’ve ever seen.
A court date of January 24th? Oh boy.
The whole system is corrupted, there is a cabal of business types (IMO) ruling over (buying?) a uni-party comprised of Dems and Reps running the country for the rich business types interests. Most politicians no longer care about the common US citizen. Our elections are compromised it is death from 10,000 cuts. The software has gaping security holes in it (https://rumble.com/v2fkm08-31-march-2023-am-show-dominion-is-finished.html) watch this if you do not believe that and several (swing) states voter registration records are maintained by a private entity called ERIC that you cannot have a FOIA request records served on them. Some ERIC states have a million more registered voters than citizens eligible to vote - let that sink in! Ghost voters ballots are infused into the system to get their candidate across the line using these excess registered voters. Don't write all this off as "election denial" it is citizens who have dug into the issue and uncovered both sides of the aisle who are complicit in the fraudulent activities. Go down the rabbit hole and you will find the elite foxes who are eating we rabbits.
I’m right with you. Over any shock and grief I had at watching “my people” lose their minds and ethics. Unable to have a sensible discussion with any. I will fight them now.
I think it's great that there are those on the left that are seeing the insanity that the Democrats have devolved into, but many of us on the right or middle-right, have been witnessing it and crying out about it for decades. Hopefully, the pendulum is swinging back in the correct direction. You know it's out of balance when 1) conservatives are saying, 'man, I miss the clinton days' and 'JFK would be considered a right-wing republican by today's standards'
that is a good point. he would be considered a conservative compared to FDR.
We've grown accustomed to loud, brash, and often violent protests by Democrats and their left-wing fellow travelers. It's been going on for 50 years. That's why it's so shocking when conservatives and GOPers behave like progressive liberals. We're just not used to it.
I believe this yet another distraction. This is an easy trap they’ve laid. What do they not want us focusing on? https://thefederalist.com/2023/04/04/7-serious-news-stories-media-choked-out-with-trump-indictment-buzz/
I believe Trump is meant to be a false hope for the Right and a lightning rod for the Left. Trump never was a Conservative or strong on Christianity. Yet suddenly he claims to be those things and always to have been them. Looking back I think he is controlled opposition. Not because of the talking heads either.
Personally, I really don’t want him back. Tired of his shtick and tired of the IC and NGO drama you see played out in all media. I think the Lord has held up a mirror and showed us what we have become as a nation through our leaders… we need to REPENT as individuals, the church and as a nation. Placing our passions and trust in right order. (No, Trump is not yet Christian... I pray he humble himself and turn to the Lord.)
I know many actual Conservatives who believe the party left them a long time ago. More importantly, I know even more real Christians who don’t believe God is a vending machine.
A bit off-topic, but I heard an analogy that for the trans movement, God has been reduced from the Omniscient Creator of All to a drunken assembly-line worker.
I think it much worse (and dangerous to his/her soul)... they think they are their own creator, and therefor ‘God’. The American government and its agencies have partnered with satan.
This is a good SHORT article in The Federalist today that addresses the issue very well, in my opinion. https://thefederalist.com/2023/04/05/we-are-all-made-in-the-image-of-god-not-made-into-it/
So sad. The media knows they can shape the narrative and LIE to the people to say the good guys are bad and the bad guys are good. They do anything and stop at nothing unless and until we stop them.
WE have the defeat the media, the liars or no matter what we do, we'll be called names for it, dehumanized, shunned, bastardized, etc.
How do we do this? We have to be able to sue them for their lies.
When I grew up (1050s) I was taught that that we had 3 independent branches of government, and had checks and balances built into our Republic. If one branch overstepped their authority, the other branches would rein them in. That seemed to have mostly worked - - - at least until the last 15 years. Today, none of the 3 branches seem to care about Americans, about you and me. They have theirs and they could not care less about us.
What is the solution? I wish I knew.
bingo…. You win the prize today for sanity
Yo Donnie, you don’t look a day over 1,000. :D
WINK!
See I'm so old I can't see. That was 1950s. GRIN!
Suddenly, across the country and in the Biden Admin (except people directly in constant contact with Biden, of course) blacks are in charge of almost everything. And what I see is PAYBACK all over the place...especially toward Trump. So ironic since Trump did more for black-Americans than the last five+ presidents (including Obama).
Why? Because they are easy to control. Democrats have 400 years of direct experience controlling negroes to do their will. While many negroes are extremely aware and intelligent, many are not. They end up on welfare schemes and the US government removes the fathers from their children by force of welfare payments to the mothers. The fatherless boys join gangs to prove their manhood, instead of being raised and nurtured by an actual loving man who is their father that lives in their homes. Endless cycles of poverty, rage, crimes, violence comes from this. And then Democrats poke them in the eyes and tell them that society is rascist, when that is a bald faced lie. Democrats are rascists to the maximum. Democrats have always been the party of slavery. Republicans freed the slaves. Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr were both Republicans. Woodrow Wilson played the very first movie in the White House, DW Griffith’s “Birth of a Nation”, which glorified the Ku Klux Klan. Then in 1924 at the Democrat National Convention, in NYC at Madison Square Gardens, it was nicknamed the KKKlanBake, because most of the delegates were card carrying Ku Klux Klan members with hoods. Nothing has changed in the last one hundred years. The Democrat Party is Still the party of slavery for the negroe. This is especially true in the Northern States. In the Deep South, whites and blacks get along far more easily and more naturally.
One more comment…. What happened when 100 illegal alien brown skinned people were sent to Martha’s Vineyard by Ron DeSantis last summer? What did the Lilly white Yankee progressives do? They called in the US National Guard to extricate them, within hours, to a Coast Guard base a few miles away. The Lilly white Yankees were terrified at the very thought that brown skinned people were actually polluting their Island retreat. Well….. down in Florida, we love all people. We have Haitians singing, Cubans doing their music, Missoukies wrestling alligators, Seminoles running their casinos, Puerto Ricans doing calypso, swamp people doing their swamp thing, cracker cowboys running their cattle, rednecks shootin the hogzillas, and the mixed up crazy world of many cultures. No one calls the US National Guard to remove anyone. Everyone is welcome. Blacks, whites, native Americans, Latinos, Mexican farm workers, rednecks, folks from LA (lower Alabama) in the panhandle, everyone. But those stuff necked Fascist nasty people in Martha’s Vineyard can’t handle even 100 brown skinned people. Shame on them. They are the true rascists, by their own actions.
Victor Davis Hanson said tonight Sasha, We're in a Revolution we didn't know we are in.
Hope this opens a lot of eyes.
It's time to fight back !
They want us divided and they want chaos and they want a distraction from all of their corrupt dealings. They are deliberately destroying America and at the end of the day, they will destroy themselves as well. I wonder if they have ever studied history and know about the purges that will eventually occur. I am amazed at how many people have sold their souls to the devil for money and power.
Progressives are too stupid to read and comprehend anything above Peter Rabbit or The Poky Little Puppy.
The Left Decent & Sensible? When? Sorry, I have to disagree :/
