I’m sitting here thinking about the scale of all of this. The Democrats tried SO hard for years to try to make conservatives into the caricature of what they think we are, to the point of not just lying about it, but actually installing people to force or ‘prove’ the issue.
We all know the Democrats accuse the Republicans of doing what they are doing themselves, but this scale is mind-blowing. I’m so glad this is happening, but also… how much more is there? Will there be ANY rock turned over during this administration that isn’t seething with cockroaches underneath?
Unfortunately, DC seems to be crawling with 80% Republican Senate cockroaches, who would throw our Constitutional Republic under the bus in a heartbeat.
RINOs - deeply dishonest leftist infiltrators. Calling them Republicans is wrong. They are part of the uniparty. They are why we have the filibuster and they are why we can't get The Save America Act passed. They all need to hang for what they've done to the country.
They want a return to "normalcy" and accuse Team Trump of being the worst most corrupt admin. of all time. I have NO sympathy for the Swamp that produced Bush, Clinton, Obama, Biden--and yes... Their own actions have brought Trump to where he is.
Yes, part of their plans/actions is always to accuse those who they attempt to criminalize and imprison of doing the exact things they themselves are guilty of.
Freud calls it projection. everyone does it. but we don't expect institutions to. yet, a group will always bond over a shared enemy. and criminals profit from our paranoia.
It’s easy to be disappointed , angry & even demoralized by the do nothing Rino’s in the Senate. Knee jerk reactions are typically to not vote, or worse vote the other side out of spite. We must do the opposite & vote in a bigger majority of well vetted R’s in order to render the obstructionist rinos useless. Thin majorities give too much power to the rinos.
We really need to primary Thune and many more. Im hoping Texas will get rid of Cornyn, and elect Paxton. Cornyn is one of the worst RINOs. The problem is they steal the primary with mail in ballot fraud, then the unipartypicks and chooses which democrat and which rino wins in the general, which is why we see the Senate "leadership" change hands periodically.
Oh, man am I stupid. I’ve been wondering why the Republicans were not showing up and voting. The concept of leftist infiltrators never occurred to me. I’m starting to feel like I can’t take it anymore. Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Jake Tapper. Jimmy Kimmel, fraud, Kamala, Tim Walz. Dottering Joe and Dr. Jill, Barry and Mike, Wisconsin, Minnesota, DEI, unqualified girl pilots, plane crashes, MSM. I can’t. Don Limon, gerrymandering, dollar store Obama, it is an endless list. Mondami, antisemitism, No Kings, black fatigue, Hunter Biden… eww need a shower -gotta go.
I seem to remember one back about 25 years ago. Don't recall the name, but a good buddy o mine worked on his campaign. I elieve he was in Clackamas County.
Sure, proud of living in 'Sconie. Spent the vast majority of my life living in Minnefornia and it makes me really sad to think how far that beautiful state has devolved into the dumpster fire it has become.
Hey, just to rub a little dirt in the wound, I also have Tom Tiffany as my representative and now he is running for guv. Hope that works our because Evers is about the same as Tampon Tim in MN and Gruesome in CA.
Well they are really democrats that ran as republicans. With how much they have the cheat embedded into every election of every kind, in multiple ways, we can never elect people to replace them. They control it all and prevent that. I don’t know how we overcome their cheating, because our votes won’t mean diddly squat until we do.
Juju says: “ Well they are really democrats that ran as republicans.”
I’ve said this for years! Pretend to be and run as a Republican so as to always have the majority of seats. That is the true RINO. They never were one of us. They throw us a bone once in a while to appear to be conservatives but they are in kahoots with their true partners… the Dems.
Demonrats running as Republicans is a long standing tradition in Utah, my adopted state of residence. What I can’t figure out is how Senator Mike Lee snuck through, but sure glad he did. We had that bonehead Senator Romney finally leave and then end up with someone just as bad, if not worse. And some of our reps are just as sleazy to boot. Too many Commifornia transplants and brain dead Utes. Sheesh!
I’d venture to say more than 80%. Why haven’t five republican senators stepped up to remove leader Thune? He is a one man wrecking ball that is on track to hand Congress to the democrats.
I read a great article today about how Dems cheat. We all say this he machines but it’s much more complicated. The short story, rather than simply stuffing drop boxes they shave red votes in the smaller, rural red areas. It’s so imperceptible no one questions the loss.
You are correct but they can start the process. My take is that we are being played by most of the republican senators. They’re playing a game of good cop bad cop with us. Thune tells them to go out and trash him while he stalls the Save America Act or whatever popular initiative the people want but they don’t. They get to look like they’re fighting for us to pad their reelection cred while Thune stalls. Think Senator Mike Lee. If any of these people were serious they’d act more like Rep Anna Paulina Luna, call for his removal and start the process. Thune won’t be up for election again till 2028 so between our short memories and his giant vault of corporate donations he isn’t worried.
Who have thrown for many decades been busy beavers in dismantling American constitutions, both federal and states. Cockroaches is a good name for them.
What LMWC said...I was about to reply to you Valerie, with "yes, absolutely, the Dem politicians are corrupt...at least 99 44/100% of them. Dem voters are a different story--not corrupt, but corrupted thinking/emotions.
Anyway, my original point: the Republicans are also corrupt. But I think there are more good ones on that side of the aisle...a lot more. It's the only reason America is still kind of, sort of, free. That, and the fact that the politicians, all of them, fear us. As well they should!
Have you talked to any Dem voters recently? They are not well intentioned. They are bitter people who hate their country, lots of emoting but no logic, who want to disenfranchise anyone who disagrees with them about anything; the younger ones are unable to think or express themselves coherently. We are still free because we have guns and the government knows it. Hence the obsession with taking them away.
I have friends that are ‘Dems’ but I keep telling them it’s moved. The dem progressives or Libs are way out there but the old Dems are more center now. They just keep voting blue without thinking. I swear they cannot see it 🙄 blinded. I keep saying watch Trump’s actions and never mind his words if you can’t discern. Actions are louder than words. Best advice when dealing with psychological manipulators/ gaslighters.
Agree if you're talking Dem progressives-----worst of the worst. There are still "moderate Dems" out there, not necessarily in leadership, but mod voters do exist----they're just not paying close attention, plus they believe trad-media, God help them.
Sorry, but I care not what people say. If promises and good intentions meant anything, politicians would be the best people on earth. If so called moderate democrats end up voting party line when they know they are on the wrong side of the issue, I don't want to hear "I was just following orders". Demorats are scum,. Full stop.
One D stands out. Fetterman. That’s it. Rank and file are speaking out a bit. Guys like Bill Maher. But very few others. Lefties in my neighbourhood mostly cut my wife and I out of their lives because back when COVID supposedly broke out we doubted it as being a serious issue. And we called out the psyop by April of 2020. People were pretty angry.
I know a lot more nice Muslims than I do nice lefties and despite that I am resentful towards the nice Muslims as they won’t speak out. A little less resentful as one explained you can be killed in that community for speaking out. I am not hearing any lefties speak out against trans for example. Except gay lefties. A few left hippies were Anti vax. I have openly heard lefties say people should be culled for climate change, and they were serious. Killing people!!
Douglas Murray said something to the effect of: “Conservatives think progressives/liberals are wrong. Progressives/liberals think conservatives are evil.”
Unfortunately both Douglas Murray and Dan Bongino have let the left continue to define the words progressive and liberal, neither of which describe what has become the far left democrat party. This Conservative believe the far left democrat pols are evil and hate the Republic for which it stands: Liberty and Freedom.
Democrat voters may not be evil but they are certainly misinformed or as Rush would call them low information voters!
I might add the one surprise in this has been John Fetterman. Who would have thought a hoodie wearing democrat would have more common sense then the rest of the democrats combined.
Along the same lines from Dan Bongino: "Conservatives think liberals are people with bad ideas. Liberals think conservatives are bad people with ideas."
As far as I know, K, he's still busy as hell, writing, teaching, lecturing, touring. He was in Morristown NJ on Monday, then in Detroit on Sunday with Van Jones (!). -- (not a stalker, just checked on Grok!) I love when he has his column out in the NY Post, and he still writes for the UK Spectator. I highly recommend his latest book, too, "On Democracies and Death Cults". He is sorely missed at the erstwhile sensible Free Press, which seems to have lost its way...
Many of my friends and family are Dems. They don’t pay attention to politics. They listen to ABC news with David Muir and Good Morning America with George Stephanopolis. Some have said they don’t care as long as it doesn’t impact their paycheck or lifestyle. Some have been democrats all their life and aren’t willing to listen to the truth.
You're right about the Dems. It's all about their paycheck, the stock market, and their ability to travel. (Everyone needs to get the jab so I can keep traveling)
The travel part I find hilarious because they're also really worried about climate change.
My brother lives in Washington State and he was recently complaining about his property taxes going up 44%. I just rolled my eyes on the other side of the phone call.
You are correct on all accounts about the older Dem voters/or people in general who lean liberal, lefty, progressive in their politics. They are bitter, have no real solutions nor can they answer when you question them about their values and what that they really stand for. (I use the NoKings peeps as my example.) Then younger people who have grown up with a portable device permanently attached to them, they are totally clueless as well. In both groups all they have are the ‘talking points memo’ that they quote from.
You would think between the American Revolutionary War and the Civil War that politicians would fear the wrath of the patriotic citizens of these United States.
They seem to have completely forgotten that people will die for their freedoms and for the freedom of their children.
The only ones fighting this are in the Republicans. That speaks volumes. This isn't R v D, it's globalists vs populist/ nationalist (and the D is the globalist as well as anyone helping them on the other side). It's why I am no longer D but do not support all R.
I think all these everyday dems are irrational and will vote blue whether money is put into the race or not. The Democratic Party doesn’t need ActBlue or SPLC. They have the media.
And whatever they are spraying from the skies.....relentlessly.....and now mRNA in EVERYTHING! Even in the vaxes for pets. It's why I'll NEVER get my pet vax'd again!
I graduated from the then (and maybe now) largest university in the world in 1971. It was the same there then as it is everywhere now. They just flew under the radar. People do not change.
What am I doing here, on a silly Substack forum? Humanitarianism does not work when the beneficiaries have their heads in the sand. And the Substack hosts rake in the revenues
Given uniparty prints over everything we're (Trump 2.0) unraveling, I think we'll have to revise that saying to, How do you eat a donkelephantkey? One bite at a time. (With lots of sauce for the gander, to mix a metaphor)
I wasn't referring to the elephant as a political party. Merely it's size. I've never had illusions of the average person's morals. Low morals would be an improvement over none. I made a nice living off that.
Be assured, there will be arrests. This is a well planned military action against the globalist deep state to save our republic. They must be arrested or we lose our country. Enjoy the show.
We haven't yet seen the last of the hidden landmines and booby traps laid into (what used to be) 'our' institutions, therefore it *definitely* behooves Trump's 2.0 team to proceed tiny step by tiny step by WHAM yer ded. Having this happen through an Alabama grand jury instead of the DoJ is genius, for example, and took time and meticulously detailed work rather than viral drama with podium grandstanding or dramatic cuffing of criminals.
Every time one of these dominoes fall, our confidence & patience should increase. Every time the Ds freak out, we should sharpen our knives for the uniparty. This cannot stop with Dem progs but all of the uniparty pocketbook-first America-last crowd.
"the caricature of what they think we are" - yes exactly. The retarded tiki torches never fit the profile. But J6 with more spooks than protesters and the Whitmer "kidnapping" fit their pattern.
This is the result when you turn your party over to the "highly educated", but woefully mis-educated cadres that travel from Harvard and Yale to grifts like the SLPC.
Funny thing about cockroaches is that they scatter when the light comes on and run back into the dark, but unless they are captured and killed they will keep coming back again and again. We need to exterminate them once and for all since they are such hideous little unproductive creatures.
My first thought was “They’re probably also secretly paying Republican candidates and officials who are racist haters to create the illusion Republicans voters want that”.
As to the scale: quite right to assume it's enormous. How else could we add $30 trillion in national debt since the year 2005, a period of ~20 years, when it took around 230 years to accumulate the first $8 trillion?
I look at all of this and say that the Republicans have in a non-obvious way have been totally subversive themselves. I've noted that the Republicans have totally enabled the evil by voting for bloated budgets, not contesting voter fraud in any serious way and this going back at least to the Reagan era, rolling over on JFK, 911, Covid and now Epstein has once again vanished from the scene, and now hundreds of billions more are being added to the debt bomb which threatens to crash the roof in on us. Israel is still not our best ally and its lobby is still running things in Washington and throughout the states. And the people are still being robbed by persistent inflation and everyone knows it.
Okay, and I admits the SPLC news is splendid. But how are the books to be balanced? Will the total surveillance spy state of total enslavement ever be rolled back? Will the people keep on being used and misuse by a totally fraudulent fake money fiat? And will that be simple replaced by a change of name crypto control currency, an even greater evil?
I see outward changes. I see mitigation. But I see no loosing whatsoever of the condition of our enslavement, not even a conversation in the direction of a loosening of our miserable condition. And how will the debt be paid off except by more stealing in whole or in part.
I would love to see every dime of money confiscated from these corrupt groups paid toward the national debt. Officers of these corruption factories ought to be publicly convicted and have all assets seized towards that end as well.
I've considered that, but I've also seen too many Etsy/Ravelry/online market horror stories involving conservative artisans getting shafted that I'd prefer to have as much control over the process as possible (I crochet, so I keep a watch on the "maker" community to see what the temperature is).
So really, it's on me to carve out time and learn this. I've got a country to meme. 😉
I understand. I have a niece-in-law who has a small business customizing t-shirts, jackets, etc. If you're every ready to roll on your spicy ideas, hit me up for her info. She's a good egg and also100% conservative.
All NGO’s irrespective of which way they lean are corrupt organizations and should be illegal. But since both the left and the right use them that will never happen. How else can the fraud be funded?
re: SPLC as a non profit. Lets expand on that. Created in 1971 as a non profit, the deeply corrupt, criminal SLPC was designated as a 501C3 tax exempt organization, meaning "donors" got to write off their donations and this group operated without paying taxes. So, they operated as an untaxed legal army of the "institutional democracy" established by the uniparty (globalist marxists, dems, rinos) to destroy their enemies, which would be anyone on the right. And now we discover (thanks to Patel's FBI) they were using those same funds to pay criminal groups to commit crimes they would then take to court or get a corrupt DOJ (part of their deeply corrupt "institutional democracy) to criminally indict, prosecute, imprison their enemies.
So if anyone is wondering why the DOJ has been so slow moving, it is because of the corrupt rot put into it by the institutional democracy - for decades. THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE THE SPLC. Hopefully Trump is getting all the right people in place, like the GREAT prosecutor Joe DiGenova. Inspite of rotten thune and intentionally slow moving rotten to the core Senate. Guess who else is coming back, Devin Nunes!! Trump is bringing in the big guns who know the rot better than anyone.
Its an existential fight, if Trump and his team cannot defeat them then who does it fall to? The real keepers of our Constitutional Republic, the Citizens, me and you. Its why we have the 2A. The 2A is the last Constitutional process when the rest have failed.
Much of it is on our side. Hegseth is doing his best to remove uniparty leaders in DOW. But the rot is up and down the chain of command due to 12 years of ovomit and the autopen stuffing it full ofideologues on the left.
Maybe the military. Not the police though. The vast majority of police will follow orders. “Ignore the protestors over there. Shoot those ones.” They will do as they are told.
I've said since the IRS went after Tea Party orgs, all so-called NGOs that accept even one cent of govt funding should be excluded from tax exemptions. No organizations should be tax exempt, including churches, and absolutely so-called religious or 'faith' based NGOs. And I'm not just looking at the filthy dirty Catholic and Lutheran orgs totally corrupted by love of mammon through funneling third-world America haters into our country. All of them.
Leave aside the oxymoron of "non" govt orgs that are largely or wholly funded by government (through extracting wealth from we the people). Tithe or don't tithe, and I do, but facts prove the system cannot be trusted (human nature cannot be trusted). No exemptions.
I’d love to see the 501(c)3 designation removed from the US Code altogether. The SPLC, sure, but also our church, animal rescues, children’s services….all of it. If we the people believe strongly that something is worthwhile, then we can reach into our pockets and fund it without expecting the “reward” of a tax break from our government.
Edit: I see Belling the Cat already expressed this….so, ditto!
Read another article that Michigan SOS Jocelyn Benson worked for SPLC prior to getting into politics! Now she’s running for Michigan governor. I’m wondering is she’ll be exposed before November? She apparently put it in her published memoir.
She is corrupt. She built the election manipulation system in Michigan. Hopefully Patel's FBI CAN connect her to certain splc criminal activities and lock her up with the rest. Or JD's fraud task force can roll her up for election theft.
I think we should do away with 501(c)(3). I'm implicitly paying part of their share of taxes even though I heartily disagree with many of these organizations. It's almost taxation without representation.
The only way to send no tax dollars to NGO’s is to quit paying the tax man. The corrupt politicians just direct the flow of OUR tax $ - voila - more NGO’S!
You are inadvertently suggesting bigger federal government by saying no dollars to NGOs. Organizations who receive donations and grants for purposes like working to help after natural disasters is essential in recovery because locals can help better than taking a top down approach from federal government doing everything.
That is a non-sequitur....By the nature of their name "non-government organization", they should be exactly that....no government tax dollars....period....fund by like-minded private supporters....like NPR...or any charity....
It is a logical approach to immediate action. Of course, people who don’t serve their community without being paid, would never understand the meaning of volunteering to work for an NGO giving out government paid for food and supplies in an emergency.
Traditionally, it had been women who did not work outside of the home who did volunteer work. In the past couple decades, retired males, who need a purpose in life after retirement, have gone into volunteer work. The young receive credit in schools for forced volunteer work. But I am not referring to volunteers for NGOs.....Get their funding from private sources....not the taxpayer...
“Nonprofit audits are not always required annually. They are typically triggered by specific circumstances, such as receiving over $750,000 in federal funding, meeting state revenue thresholds, or being mandated by an organization's bylaws or grant requirements. Some states may require audits based on the nonprofit's total annual funding or contributions.”
Well, the last few years of proof of NGO fraud should justify changing that guideline; so that any organization that receives federal NGO $$ is required to provide an independent audit. Trusting these organizations to do what they say they’re gonna do with the taxpayer money is crazy.
I agree. Years ago, NPR (when I still listened) interviewed a guy who said people working for NGOs needed to be paid more to retain the best people. As my dad was a professor in social work, I thought his point made sense. It was absolutely the worst thing. The business mindset of growing NGOs took hold and became a cancer.
I've quit and re-upped to NPR because their information on many and varied subjects is found
nowhere else that I'm aware of. Its their left wing lying political stance that keeps me from donating to them again. I agree that no taxpayer money should be given to them ever again.
Let me modify that. The term NGO which stands for Nongovernmental Organization is not a US legal term. It is imported from overseas. The problem is that there are many nonprofits that are good and operate within the law, and are mostly funded by good people who support their (if they are c3s) charitable activities.
But if an orgsnization receives significant funds from the government, then in no way is it an NGO. The government controls what is done with the money. And unfortunately they have used these so called NGOs to do what they cannot legally do directly. But if they cannot do it directly then they cannot legally do it indirectly, regardless of what they call it. It is these entities that must be done away with, rather than wiping out all nonprofits.
BTW if the SPLC is exempt from tax under 501(c)(3) then it legally cannot use any funds to support or oppose amyone running for public office.
Respectfully I disagree. They are all just a way to fund people that could never earn a living. They are just a way to virtue signal that you are better than me. But that’s just me cause I’m a pessimistic old boomer.
There are some non profits that feed children etc. But they are small. Once they become big enough to fund salaries etc they are taken over by left wing grifters.
Well, in most cases, the government doesn't follow up on the actual spending of the money granted to the NGO, so they have no accountability to the government.
There is a big difference between an NGO and an NPO. SPLC is a NPO. Your legitimate non-profit organization (501 C 3) does not hoard money it gives to the poor and the needy or advances charity, goodness, kindness and love.
The money collected by so-called legit charities, I allege, goes into jobs and offices for ppl who do fundraising. I am not convinced that the Arthritis Society, Diabetes Foundation, Kidney Foundation, etc., are doing much to help ppl deal with their illnesses. Perhaps money goes to research, but I need to be convinced of that.
I've long said Soros and others own both the Leftie and Rightie extremist groups--then FBI gets to cash in on them too (more funding, more personnel and promotions) while the constrictor slowly tightens down on our "free" society.
Internationally this is the same playbook with Russia paying Environmental groups/lawyers in US, Islamist terrorists being trained and brought in, SPLC and ADL and likely connections to other small but significantly wealthy foreign states and actors. This has always been the case historically too.
No sympathy for the swampish DeepState and those thriving within it. It's always been a nasty, disgusting, Cultish place that's wanted to corrupt and rape our nation and people while feigning as guardian and hero. The Stockholm Syndrome may be wearing off somewhat
Dare we hope that if the SLPC and other Soros cutouts are shut down, then the Democratic party might return to the party we knew up through the 90s, and mainstream media might shift back toward the middle again?
Well...The Democrat Party has always been socialist...check out Woodrow Wilson...(That bridge will have its name changed)....But, you may be referring to Blue Dog Democrats....socially liberal (you be you and I'll be me) and fiscally conservative.....
in other words, central left, then, maybe, but either there is hard pain while the pendulum corrects from a 2+ generational swing, physics being what it is, or it continues to swing leftward into full communism.
Most people, regardless of nationality, are centrists...
Bad Cattitude fellow -- he of all that admiring talk about freedom and democracy -- banned me because I failed to agree with him 100% a few times. Actually, I think he was getting nervous because I have the background that he lacks. He wings it half the time, and hopes that no one realizes.
So do not take them all at their word. These Substack hosts. Sometimes it is just smoke & mirrors from them. And they really do not beleive in democracy or free speech unless it suits. But the freedom-product sells well on Substack. No one has to know whether it is the host's genuine belief or not. Who ever said there was truth in advertising?
Hah! The nastiness that oozes out of these "good Christians" when they are envious of what other commenters can write, says it all. You expose your true judgmental self, Steenroid. And it isn't pretty.
You really ought to get over that. Envy is a sin, my friend. Meow.....
Eugyppius and Abbey of Misrule hosts banned me too. For knowing too much. And saying so. Eugyppius then publicly posted some of my personal information, and claimed it was an accident. Uh-huh.....more like spite.
They consider these Substack gigs all about them. They are the star of the show. Great little money-making ventures. Several of them simply play the role you want to see, and will pay subscriber fees for.
Where is the American consumer-savvy gone these days?
You know that for a fact, do you? When I am a stranger to you. Too funny!
Here is a conundrum. Why do so many of you fall in adoration towards Jeff Childers, and a number of other Substack hosts....when they are fairly average folk? Some of them have low education levels, and I have seen them just winging it on their Substacks. Nonetheless, there is gushing adoration from the groupies below. And these hosts regularly toot their own horns. They are fairly boastful. Even the supposed religious ones. They behave more like cult leaders.
But I make a claim that I know more than one of them on some subject (and I prove it) -- and you heap scorn on my head. Even though I have been professionally trained in that field. And they have not been trained in it at all. They are just winging it. Hoping no one will notice.
Crazy!
Why do you feel justified in behaving that way to a fellow commenter who has generously offered valuable information here over weeks, but you allow your Subtack stars to get away with off-putting boasts? And these are people who may not have paid their dues in the world of higher education.
Remember how easy it is for anyone to rent a page at the Substack platform.
There is psychological terminology for people like you who go all googly-eyed at anyone they think might be a celebrity. It's a weakness. It is not my problem you have it.
Wording everything...Not being familiar with your comments and how they were worded, I suspect that you were banned for how you said something rather than what you said.
Personally, I like el gato although he gets a little long lately and, imho, could tighten up his postings.
No, that was not the reason. I looked more knowledgeable than those hosts, because I have formal training in the relevant fields and they do not. Therefore they had their noses out of joint. Had to dispose of the competition so the limelight was back on THEM! Pretty simple.
NGO's exist to launder money, and keep themselves in business first. Just like Big Pharma, Big Military (gotta use up the stockpiles, since the bonus $ was already paid out on those and we have a new crop of generals/admirals, lobbyists, and politicians that want nice 2nd houses).
I'd take it one step further, all religious organizations should have their tax free status removed. Many of them are truly wealthy and should help to pay for their place on US soil. We have little or no idea where their cash goes or how its used. There should be no free rides.
Or where it comes from. I live in a poverty-stricken area, but there are many giant mega-churches around. Their giant buildings stand out among the shacks surrounding them.
Where do they get their money? Definitely not from the poor people who go to them. I know that they help those people, and that is good, but where does the money come from?
Americans have another big wake-up call coming and that is finding out their
religious affiliations have dirty hands. The bigger they are, the filthier. Religions of every type are businesses. Like Mamdani in NYC chants the rich should pay their share, that should go for churches, synagogues and temples too.
They are generally not funded by the government but by parishoners. Those should be left alone. HOWEVER if they receive money from the government (such as those bringing in illegal aliens) then yes do away with them.
Not to mention Lutheran Social Services and other "charities" like that. Tf they are going to be social hydrants they should do it on their own dime, not yours or mine.
If religious orgs are considered Tax Exempt by the gov't, I consider that FUNDING by the gov't, its just classified differently. If they are not paying taxes, that's $$ the gov't is allowing them to keep. We as taxpayers do not get
Some religions/denominations/sects are richer than many corporations and yet take from impecunious taxpayers by obtaining 501(c)(3) status. They own buildings, land, corporations, patents . . . and yet don't want to pay taxes.
Having worked for a company for a decade and then watched it be bought and split up, and not willing to move down south to continue the employment there, I had to find a new job, and another job where I got downsized, I do have sympathy for people who get "the notice". Been there. It's a yucky feeling. It's why every night I get down on my knees and thank the Good Lord for the blessing of the job I have. With the advent of AI, it makes it harder to just jump in to a new job now, since many corporate jobs now expect their people to learn more efficiencies with AI, to obviate the need to hire more people. "Increased productivity" is how it is couched.
The fact is the lack of real government oversight, that a feckless Congress should have been doing the last few decades, contributed to the "big government" bubble, which has now popped a bit.
Historical note - DC area surpassed Hawaii to become the most expensive place to live in 2012, after Obama did his damage and increased the pigs at the trough. It remains a top 5 costly place to live.
Funny, the NGO's and non-profits always said they had to pay outrageous salaries (imo over $200,000 for that work in a leadership/top level is too much) to compete with the private sector. Ironic that a lot of these people can't even get $125,000 jobs now. So I guess the private sector didn't think they were valuable enough to bring on board. The market is resetting itself. Maybe some plan to hang on until Nov. 2028 to see if the country will go stupid and vote in a Dem, in the hopes they can get their faces back in the trough.
There's no doubt DC has created a bubble of inflation in that area. There were unnecessary activities that required employees. The bureaucracy itself demands employees to maintain itself. The government needs a major overhaul, and much of it is going to be painful because of the Democrats' socialistic approach to government.
The "progressive" political machine is an organized crime syndicate on a scale that the Italian Mafia never dared to dream. You are correct that the SPLC and their $800 million is one instance of who-knows-how-many or how much.
Unfortunately for voters/taxpayers, the vast majority of Republicans want to duplicate this success, rather than punish it.
Because of social media, we no longer have to believe what the msm tells us, although they do set the narrative that people argue about, as we can see here.
There was no "violent riot" at Charlottesville.
There was one guy who ran his car into a crowd, then backed out like he was an Indy 500 driver.
Hours later, they arrested a bespectacled young man who had autism and lived with his parents.
That was the beginning on the internet censorship. But before YouTube took it down, I watched a video, I think it was that Melissa woman, who analyzed the video of the event.
The man driving the car was older and didn't wear glasses. He looked like a special forces operative, but that's just my stereotype. He definitely was not a young bespectacled awkward kid. I think the kid was a patsy.
Anyway, I also saw a video put out by a black guy, showing the buses unloading both the "KKK" and the "protesters".
I also saw the rally against the statue removal, the police shutting it down, the protests of the leaders who pointed out that they had a permit, and the herding of them into the line of protesters, which we were then told was "violent". It wasn't.
That was definitely a special ops against Trump, not an organic event, and not a violent riot.
After one summer doing paralegal work for migrant farm workers while I was paid well by SPLC, I realized the year-round staffers in their fancy high rise office tower never went to the field to be face-to-face with any “poor” people. Instead, they did coord with state law enforcer officials by tel and with distant HQ staff big time litigators to make settlement money on “big” cases from their poor clients. Meanwhile we summer hires worked full time so our bosses could tick boxes on forms to show SPLC was doing the mins for the poor people to justify their steady gravy train of federal government cash. It was all a racket which enabled massive welfare fraud as I saw on the ground in Minnesota.
"Are there even conspiracy theories anymore, or just conspiracies?"
The Conspiracy Community has been saying for decades that America is one of the most heavily censored countries in the world. And these past weeks have proven it.
American news has been telling Americans that Trump is in control of the war and the negotiations, while the international news was saying that Iran is in control and negotiations are NOT going well, which turned out to be true.
And YouTube is deleting videos of international news.
Censorship in America is not a conspiracy theory, it is a conspiracy against the American people.
To be fair - I'd assume that _every_ NGO is doing this. As some others have opined - there are no (or insanely small numbers of) groups that take money, solve a problem, and then say "well, we're done, let's dissolve". Of course, most of these are likely left-leaning in the first place because that's just part of the "take public money" mindset.
Local hospital probably isn't a typical "NGO". And even then - too many "non-profit" hospitals take in _way_ too much money. See Houston Methodist and their endless fight against Mary Bowden and such.
Sadly, my trust in NGOs and funding is quite low right now. Too many abused the trusts given them and it's a good time to look hard into many of them, especially the ones with larger budgets.
A hospital doesn't blink at sending bills well over $100,000 to poor people who survive on very little and have no insurance. Is that charitable? Charities should subsist on donations from private individuals and companies.
I first read about the SPLC back in the mid 1980's. They are actually a communist front group AND NOW someone is hopefully finally going to do something about them. Way past time but without Donald Trump in office this would have never happened.
Forgiveness is personal... not for politics and countries. When you let politicians go off scott free they turn back on you even worse and eat you alive.
Proverbs 24:24-25 (NIV): "Whoever says to the guilty, 'You are innocent,' will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations. But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them."
That is a hard pass for me Richard. If you can forgive those that have committed SRA against infants, pedos, big harma that killed millions with the jab, man made virus makers and the list goes on, more power to you.
Kash Patel making headlines, and still there are some trying to convince the people that Kash is not doing a good job. Indicting the SPLC would not have happened in the FBI 1.0, they were working with them I'm sure. I'm so glad to see that organization go down, they have made a career of attacking anything conservative or American.
Simply uncovering the existence of secret room and hidden files in at the FBI is, in itself, a massive accomplishment. Now with Kevin Nunes coming back, things are going to get spicy. 😎
"Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes is leaving the organization to prioritize his role on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, after catapulting the Truth Social platform into a global brand built on free speech."
😉😎
"At PIAB, he has worked closely with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe to declassify bombshell revelations about intelligence abuses as well as spur reforms to spy agencies that have become increasingly politicized over the last decade.
For instance, Nunes' team recently worked with Ratcliffe as the CIA recalled more than a dozen intelligence analyses that did not meet spy tradecraft standards, a powerful rebuke of past leadership at the Agency."
Maybe because I watch nothing of trad media anymore and was off social media most of yesterday, the SLPC story totally escaped me. The little National news I heard was all about the ridiculous gerrymandering ballot passing narrowly in Virginia.
—“ names! Rare Books Warehouse? Really? Was “Totally Legit Business, LLC” already taken? And … CIA? Are you kidding me? Did all the SPLC’s lawyers have a great laugh over that one? I bet they aren’t laughing now.”
I just blocked him so I don’t have to read his pompous pronouncements. I guess I am going to have to resign myself to being deprived of his staggeringly brilliant insights 😑
Running Logic… 💥🎯💥🎯… all the while reading todays post, one of Jeffs BEST… I kept replaying the movie “Laundromat” with Meryl Streep in my head… maybe Scott Burns, laundromats screenplay writer and Steven Soderberg can use this SPLC and connected criminal NGO’s activities reports to write and produce “Laundromat 2.0…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Laundromat_(2019_film)
Too bad. I would have had a marvelous time browsing thru a Rare Books Warehouse. Though I would expect it to be a pretty small warehouse. Maybe if it had tables and chairs for us to use while perusing to books?
I too would bet the SPLC does not survive this case as an organization.
I would also bet that they manage to metastasize into some other form to continue carrying out their anti-American leftist work, as did ACORN, Journo-List, etc etc....
Agree completely...the Dems won't give up. Their money will just move to other orgs. We need to "follow that money" and nip in the bud whatever those new orgs get up to.
The number one priority of those scurrying roaches will be to steal the midterms and I have NO confidence the Republican Party is up to the job of preventing that.
I would LOVE to see a post from Jeff on all the things Republicans and others are doing to prevent the steal! The SAVE Act is still stalled--when does its passage become moot for the midterms? I can see certain States saying, "there's not enough time to implement it before the midterms", if say, it doesn't pass until May or June.
Running Logic, YES! This is a very disturbing piece and goes along with some of the other info we’ve learned about the various groups set up to go after Trump and conservatives. She’s the real deal - brilliant investigative reporter and worth following. She’s also brilliant with numbers and was helping Musk and the DOGE guys at one point. Thanks for posting this link. It’s important!
On the topic of Hegseth - My husband is a former Navy pilot, USNA grad, with hundreds of contacts in the retired military ranks. Very few were in favor of Hegseth’s nomination when it was first announced but it didn’t take long for almost everyone to come on board. They think he’s a breath of fresh air for the War Department and the man for the job. The fact that he’s being targeted - and the people/groups who are targeting him - should emphasize that even more.
Thanks RL, EVERYONE needs to read that thread as Data Republican brings the receipts on the left's current color revolution to conduct a coup of President Trump. She connects the dots and also shows how the Seditionist Six were and are a part of it.
So lets be clear, there is an ongoing attempt to conduct a color revolution of Trump and his admin. They need to be rounded up and people need to be hung for treason against the USA.
Yeah, they are not going to roll over and play dead, they fully understand it is an existential fight, and they dont intend to lose it. They will use the institutional democracy and all their deeply evil and corrupt NGOs to win. This is the real war which has been delayed for decades by the likes of ovomit, clinton, pelosi, mcconnell, the autopen, gates zuckerburg, bezos, etc. Trump is our Warrior sent by God to defeat them.
Interesting....about security forces....discussed on one of the latest America's Untold Stories....conversely, some sites are proposing that one of the reasons why so many single immigrants in EU countries is to use them when the natives arise in revolt and the natives security forces join them against the growing fascist governments....the immigrants will have no such loyalty to the people...
Yes, I know the Jean Raspail book. I have had it in Kindle for some time, but not read it yet. Considered one of the great prescient dystopian novels predicting our modern era.
I have to say though, that as one of the Globalists under the British Network, PM Pierre Trudeau of Canada was already starting to lay the groundwork for mass immigration from the third world into Canada by the late 60s, prior to this book. So perhaps Mr. Raspail was taking his hints from that.
"Labor for all, the opening of Credit for all; Leisure for all will be our bogie for the illusory creation of a new social class: the "Middle Class". Because once our objectives are reached, the "Class" in the middle, between the secular poor, and we the rich, we will definitely remove by cutting off all means of survival."
"Thus it will be possible to sharply increase the burden of the State by multiplying without any limit a body of intellectual public servants. Insured for years in advance of material security, they will be consequently perfect for executors of "Government Authority", in other words of "Our Power".
"Thus creating an impressive body of officials who will in itself (a Government within the Government), irrespective of the political party that is in power. This anonymous machine can serve us one day means of leverages when the moment comes to accelerate the economic collapse of the Nation States, because these will not be able to indefinitely sustain such mass salaries without having going into debt beyond their means."
The Toronto Protocols of the Canadian Freemasons. 1967
You might want to look into the case of Socialist NDP politician Tommy Douglas of Canada, who instituted Canada's socialized healthcare system in the 60s. Likely as the basis for later eugenics. Such as unlimited abortion and MAID.
Tommy Douglas was a member of the British Network of Globalists.
Well, the various secret societies have been around for eons. Some going back to the Fall of Rome. Such as the case of the British Network of Globalists.
So, much of this was known, but not publicly available.
Strongly encourage you to read the book, A. It is a difficult read only because it strikes so close to the bone. You actually "feel" the events in the book and know that what the author predicted is playing out in real time though the specifics are somewhat different.
My neighbor just gave me a tree from her banana tree. It seems these trees propagate new trees. Planted it last week and maybe next year I’ll have some fresh bananas
I grow them here in Pa. Mostly for the tropical beauty because the development of Bananas takes too long in our short season. I have 4 half barrels with 8ft trees in my garage just waiting to go out on my deck. lol. I did get a tiny bunch of 1 inch bananas which were adorable last summer. Hilarious
I did not know that. My first thought though was, I'd be surprised to see a banana growing on another kind of tree. But if it is hardy in Illinois maybe I should plant one.
I’ve spent time at theSPLC HQ. it’s the one place in Montgomery where there is absolutely NO poverty. Beautiful building luxuriously appointed and more security than the entire secret service. Non profit my arse!
And, if your fundraising and salaries depends on cancer, then you must keep the disease ongoing with useless chemotherapy and other drugs. Make sure alternate treatments are never to see the light of day.
This is what I missed in B-school! I’m such a dumbass, my 20, 30 year old products sell on eBay for 2-3x’s than they sold for new. Arrrrrghhhh- dads hand it down to their kids and buy new for themselves. Should have made it disposable. No wonder I’m not rich as Gates.
SPLC is tax exempt . As are parts of act blue . Time for IRS to get to work. Perhaps even assert breaches of exempt status on retroactive basis m meaning lots of back taxes owing by these organizations
It is time for Congress to get to work. Donations to the vast majority of NGOs and charities should not be deductible. They need to create a class system for charities with legit churches at the top and bottom feeders at the bottom. Many if not most of the charities out there are just employers of unproductive liberals. They raise money and pass it on to other charities all of which take their cut ad infinitum. The Demonic Party has created a vast network of criminal organizations. They all employ liberals and leftists who think they are better than everyone else who actually works for a living.
Remember during Biden years the numerous clips we were shown of "neo Nazis" marching in their khakis and flying their flag? We were told it was an extreme right group. More than likely, paid actors courtesy of the SPLC. Those of us with a working brain knew it was a hoax.
How about Arabella & Tides? Any Grand Juries empaneled for those malicious actors? Also, how much federal funding did SPLC receive? Did they take covid funds?
The beauty of most Grand Juries is they nearly always are secret until the indictments are announced. I nearly got called on a Federal GJ but the person they were investigating plead guilty first.
I have known for several decades that SPLC is a propaganda machine of the far-left. That point has rarely been disputed by normal people. I suppose the only question was when they would fall, and how bad the outcome would be. For them.
The term "far right" has lost its meaning anyway, being hurled at anyone not following the dogma and narratives of the rabid left. Ignore those fools and their labels...
"It"? You seem to be keen on dehumanizing people. It was a great Nazi tactic. What does that say about you?
No my friend. I am simply well-educated, and a fine writer. Maybe you don't have any of those in your own circles. Lost art. Good critical thinker too.
That slur was put around by several far-right Pentecostalists, who are not keen on educated persons. Seems we show them up. But they consider themselves "fine Christians". Which makes me giggle. What they generally display is certainly not Christianity.
Btw...I have heard the rumour too that Free in Florida is a bot. H-m-m....
Using this tactic of calling someone a bot is not much different from the unsavoury tactics used by the SPLC. See what I mean about the far-left and the far-right being two peas in a pod? Same controlling, smearing manipulations. Just another form of Cancel Culture.
How do we know that Jeff Childers isn't a bot, while we're at it?
"Carl Jung wrote: 'Old Heraclitus, who was indeed a very great sage, discovered the most marvellous of all psychological laws: the regulative function of opposites. He called it Enantiodromia, a running contrariwise, by which he meant that sooner or later everything runs into its opposite'"
(Thanks to Leo for telling me this concept has a Wikipedia entry)
So this is the way you think you are going to get around saying you support democracy and free speech (and abhor censorship), while still trying to blot out anyone who disagrees with you. What a low tactic, Greg.
How is this any different from totalitarian practices? Let me tell you -- it isn't.
In the Soviet world, the same trick was to pretend that a "dissident" was mentally ill. And then claim that you had to have them committed...for their own good. Uh-huh....
This ugly little suggestion form GregWA is nothing more than totalitarianism practiced against someone because they refuse to join the groupthink of your particular herd. In other words, because they have an individual mind and morality. It seems that Greg does not support either individualism or freedom. So what is he doing in America? Trump might have a look at him. He hates totalitarianism.
"Shamed" by a bot! That's a new one! And if everyone here is a bot, except me of course, then I need a new filter, a new basis for assessing content.
But to A's point about censorship...this is a private space, Jeff's blog, Substack's site. They can publish or not publish anything they want. Being highly educated, well "trained" anyway, you should know that censorship is something the government does.
Blocking someone/thing that does not discuss/argue in good faith is not a bad thing!
I take your point. I know very well how this has been used to mis-label.
However, there is indeed a far-rightwing, mainly of religious extremists. Their behaviour is very similar to the far-leftwing WOKE. Only the groupthink narrative is different. Some of them hang out here, though why they chose a news site is a mystery.
When the far-right religious extremists cannot debate me on facts, they end up screaming that I am the Anti-Christ, which they consider their trump-card.
Just another form of the ad hominem fallacy. That and the genetic fallacy, in my unscientific survey, seem to be the top two fallacies in use nowadays.
Well it seems that Rush L. misunderstood the concept. Perhaps he is not much of a thinker. He had only a high school education. Whereas I have professional training in Evolutionary and Depth Psychology. I think I beat Rush.
I advise you not to adopt ideas simply because someone was popular. You absorb a lot of garbage that way.
I think we should assume practically every leftwing NGO is doing exactly what the SPLC was doing.
Are there even conspiracy theories anymore, or just conspiracies?
I’m sitting here thinking about the scale of all of this. The Democrats tried SO hard for years to try to make conservatives into the caricature of what they think we are, to the point of not just lying about it, but actually installing people to force or ‘prove’ the issue.
We all know the Democrats accuse the Republicans of doing what they are doing themselves, but this scale is mind-blowing. I’m so glad this is happening, but also… how much more is there? Will there be ANY rock turned over during this administration that isn’t seething with cockroaches underneath?
Unfortunately, DC seems to be crawling with 80% Republican Senate cockroaches, who would throw our Constitutional Republic under the bus in a heartbeat.
RINOs - deeply dishonest leftist infiltrators. Calling them Republicans is wrong. They are part of the uniparty. They are why we have the filibuster and they are why we can't get The Save America Act passed. They all need to hang for what they've done to the country.
They want a return to "normalcy" and accuse Team Trump of being the worst most corrupt admin. of all time. I have NO sympathy for the Swamp that produced Bush, Clinton, Obama, Biden--and yes... Their own actions have brought Trump to where he is.
Yes, part of their plans/actions is always to accuse those who they attempt to criminalize and imprison of doing the exact things they themselves are guilty of.
Freud calls it projection. everyone does it. but we don't expect institutions to. yet, a group will always bond over a shared enemy. and criminals profit from our paranoia.
Which is why they are trying so hard to undermine the current administration and the Transnational captured MSM is part & parcel of their attack.
They need their $$$ gravy train which does not include the common good of this country....Just their pocket$.
It’s easy to be disappointed , angry & even demoralized by the do nothing Rino’s in the Senate. Knee jerk reactions are typically to not vote, or worse vote the other side out of spite. We must do the opposite & vote in a bigger majority of well vetted R’s in order to render the obstructionist rinos useless. Thin majorities give too much power to the rinos.
We really need to primary Thune and many more. Im hoping Texas will get rid of Cornyn, and elect Paxton. Cornyn is one of the worst RINOs. The problem is they steal the primary with mail in ballot fraud, then the unipartypicks and chooses which democrat and which rino wins in the general, which is why we see the Senate "leadership" change hands periodically.
Exactly! Let’s make that differentiation clear!
Oh, man am I stupid. I’ve been wondering why the Republicans were not showing up and voting. The concept of leftist infiltrators never occurred to me. I’m starting to feel like I can’t take it anymore. Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, Jake Tapper. Jimmy Kimmel, fraud, Kamala, Tim Walz. Dottering Joe and Dr. Jill, Barry and Mike, Wisconsin, Minnesota, DEI, unqualified girl pilots, plane crashes, MSM. I can’t. Don Limon, gerrymandering, dollar store Obama, it is an endless list. Mondami, antisemitism, No Kings, black fatigue, Hunter Biden… eww need a shower -gotta go.
Let's see if any of the uniparty defects now, hoping to save his (her, zir, wtf's) own skin.
Im hoping so.
I wish we could clone Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin), particularly with regards to covid mandates and ALL the vaccines.
My senator extraordinaire!
We have never had one of those in Oregon. :(
Or Illinois.
Ha I agree & I’m from there
Or Rhode Island
@Debra- or NY
Debra, true dat!
I seem to remember one back about 25 years ago. Don't recall the name, but a good buddy o mine worked on his campaign. I elieve he was in Clackamas County.
I’m jealous, Cheesehead.
(Is it ok if I call you that?) We have Warnock and Ossoff. Can we pls trade? I’ll make you a 2 for 1 deal.
@KC- we have Schumer. I win. Or not.
Those two coatttailed on the GA stolen election. Stolen seats imo…thank you Stacey Abrams.
Sure, proud of living in 'Sconie. Spent the vast majority of my life living in Minnefornia and it makes me really sad to think how far that beautiful state has devolved into the dumpster fire it has become.
Hey, just to rub a little dirt in the wound, I also have Tom Tiffany as my representative and now he is running for guv. Hope that works our because Evers is about the same as Tampon Tim in MN and Gruesome in CA.
Those two coatttailed on the GA stolen election. Stolen seats imo…thank you Stacey Abrams.
Well they are really democrats that ran as republicans. With how much they have the cheat embedded into every election of every kind, in multiple ways, we can never elect people to replace them. They control it all and prevent that. I don’t know how we overcome their cheating, because our votes won’t mean diddly squat until we do.
Juju says: “ Well they are really democrats that ran as republicans.”
I’ve said this for years! Pretend to be and run as a Republican so as to always have the majority of seats. That is the true RINO. They never were one of us. They throw us a bone once in a while to appear to be conservatives but they are in kahoots with their true partners… the Dems.
Jovan Pulitzer has quite a bit to say on this topic. And he has the president’s ear.
Demonrats running as Republicans is a long standing tradition in Utah, my adopted state of residence. What I can’t figure out is how Senator Mike Lee snuck through, but sure glad he did. We had that bonehead Senator Romney finally leave and then end up with someone just as bad, if not worse. And some of our reps are just as sleazy to boot. Too many Commifornia transplants and brain dead Utes. Sheesh!
2A is how we deal with them. If POTUS can't get them it falls to us to protect our Republic, ekse it is not really ours.
Not sure about the 80percent, but sadly you’re on about the rest.
I’d venture to say more than 80%. Why haven’t five republican senators stepped up to remove leader Thune? He is a one man wrecking ball that is on track to hand Congress to the democrats.
I read a great article today about how Dems cheat. We all say this he machines but it’s much more complicated. The short story, rather than simply stuffing drop boxes they shave red votes in the smaller, rural red areas. It’s so imperceptible no one questions the loss.
Agree about Thune. He is no damn good.
5 Republicans cannot remove Thune. Alexander Muse write an excellent article in regards to this false narrative floating around.
https://amuseonx.substack.com/p/why-five-senators-can-oust-thune?r=9m2vt&utm_medium=ios
You are correct but they can start the process. My take is that we are being played by most of the republican senators. They’re playing a game of good cop bad cop with us. Thune tells them to go out and trash him while he stalls the Save America Act or whatever popular initiative the people want but they don’t. They get to look like they’re fighting for us to pad their reelection cred while Thune stalls. Think Senator Mike Lee. If any of these people were serious they’d act more like Rep Anna Paulina Luna, call for his removal and start the process. Thune won’t be up for election again till 2028 so between our short memories and his giant vault of corporate donations he isn’t worried.
What’s false about it? The process has been outlined several times.
Jovan Pulitzer has a lot to say about this.
Maybe someone should check their bank accounts to see if any of them have received payments from the "CIA"......
Who have thrown for many decades been busy beavers in dismantling American constitutions, both federal and states. Cockroaches is a good name for them.
There are rats on both sides. I hope cleaning out some of the swamp pits hurts them and we need to vote them out.
For $$$
What LMWC said...I was about to reply to you Valerie, with "yes, absolutely, the Dem politicians are corrupt...at least 99 44/100% of them. Dem voters are a different story--not corrupt, but corrupted thinking/emotions.
Anyway, my original point: the Republicans are also corrupt. But I think there are more good ones on that side of the aisle...a lot more. It's the only reason America is still kind of, sort of, free. That, and the fact that the politicians, all of them, fear us. As well they should!
Have you talked to any Dem voters recently? They are not well intentioned. They are bitter people who hate their country, lots of emoting but no logic, who want to disenfranchise anyone who disagrees with them about anything; the younger ones are unable to think or express themselves coherently. We are still free because we have guns and the government knows it. Hence the obsession with taking them away.
I have friends that are ‘Dems’ but I keep telling them it’s moved. The dem progressives or Libs are way out there but the old Dems are more center now. They just keep voting blue without thinking. I swear they cannot see it 🙄 blinded. I keep saying watch Trump’s actions and never mind his words if you can’t discern. Actions are louder than words. Best advice when dealing with psychological manipulators/ gaslighters.
They don’t want to hear anything if it has the word Trump in the sentence!
I have friends who are Dems but are registered Republicans.
Agree if you're talking Dem progressives-----worst of the worst. There are still "moderate Dems" out there, not necessarily in leadership, but mod voters do exist----they're just not paying close attention, plus they believe trad-media, God help them.
Sorry, but I care not what people say. If promises and good intentions meant anything, politicians would be the best people on earth. If so called moderate democrats end up voting party line when they know they are on the wrong side of the issue, I don't want to hear "I was just following orders". Demorats are scum,. Full stop.
One D stands out. Fetterman. That’s it. Rank and file are speaking out a bit. Guys like Bill Maher. But very few others. Lefties in my neighbourhood mostly cut my wife and I out of their lives because back when COVID supposedly broke out we doubted it as being a serious issue. And we called out the psyop by April of 2020. People were pretty angry.
I know a lot more nice Muslims than I do nice lefties and despite that I am resentful towards the nice Muslims as they won’t speak out. A little less resentful as one explained you can be killed in that community for speaking out. I am not hearing any lefties speak out against trans for example. Except gay lefties. A few left hippies were Anti vax. I have openly heard lefties say people should be culled for climate change, and they were serious. Killing people!!
I think that’s a song. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. 🎶
I think that’s a song. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. 🎶
They are few and far between. The vast majority of Dems, who are "progressives," is hounding the mod ones out of the party.
Guns are the only thing preventing slavery. As guns are more and more restricted, so are our freedoms being eaten away.
Douglas Murray said something to the effect of: “Conservatives think progressives/liberals are wrong. Progressives/liberals think conservatives are evil.”
Unfortunately both Douglas Murray and Dan Bongino have let the left continue to define the words progressive and liberal, neither of which describe what has become the far left democrat party. This Conservative believe the far left democrat pols are evil and hate the Republic for which it stands: Liberty and Freedom.
Democrat voters may not be evil but they are certainly misinformed or as Rush would call them low information voters!
I might add the one surprise in this has been John Fetterman. Who would have thought a hoodie wearing democrat would have more common sense then the rest of the democrats combined.
I wonder if he has some tinfoil in that hood? :)
Along the same lines from Dan Bongino: "Conservatives think liberals are people with bad ideas. Liberals think conservatives are bad people with ideas."
@Hero- I haven't seen Douglas in a long time!
As far as I know, K, he's still busy as hell, writing, teaching, lecturing, touring. He was in Morristown NJ on Monday, then in Detroit on Sunday with Van Jones (!). -- (not a stalker, just checked on Grok!) I love when he has his column out in the NY Post, and he still writes for the UK Spectator. I highly recommend his latest book, too, "On Democracies and Death Cults". He is sorely missed at the erstwhile sensible Free Press, which seems to have lost its way...
Many of my friends and family are Dems. They don’t pay attention to politics. They listen to ABC news with David Muir and Good Morning America with George Stephanopolis. Some have said they don’t care as long as it doesn’t impact their paycheck or lifestyle. Some have been democrats all their life and aren’t willing to listen to the truth.
As long as they are listening to MSM sources like ABC News, they are goners!
You're right about the Dems. It's all about their paycheck, the stock market, and their ability to travel. (Everyone needs to get the jab so I can keep traveling)
The travel part I find hilarious because they're also really worried about climate change.
I have family members that got the jab so they could go on a cruise 🤦🏻♀️
That is so sad, but knowledge is the crux of our problems and with voters’ decisions to vote as they always have.
They must not pay taxes.
more likely, taxes are what support their jobs
My brother lives in Washington State and he was recently complaining about his property taxes going up 44%. I just rolled my eyes on the other side of the phone call.
Eyewitless news!!!! Any news that pays us is fine....
Eyewitless news!!!! Any news that pays us is fine....
Hence the Islamic invasion of Texas etc
I'm having nightmares about long robes with cowboy hats.
You are correct on all accounts about the older Dem voters/or people in general who lean liberal, lefty, progressive in their politics. They are bitter, have no real solutions nor can they answer when you question them about their values and what that they really stand for. (I use the NoKings peeps as my example.) Then younger people who have grown up with a portable device permanently attached to them, they are totally clueless as well. In both groups all they have are the ‘talking points memo’ that they quote from.
Who can be bought cheaply and given a pulpit in the Transnational captured MSM anytime.
You would think between the American Revolutionary War and the Civil War that politicians would fear the wrath of the patriotic citizens of these United States.
They seem to have completely forgotten that people will die for their freedoms and for the freedom of their children.
The only ones fighting this are in the Republicans. That speaks volumes. This isn't R v D, it's globalists vs populist/ nationalist (and the D is the globalist as well as anyone helping them on the other side). It's why I am no longer D but do not support all R.
I think all these everyday dems are irrational and will vote blue whether money is put into the race or not. The Democratic Party doesn’t need ActBlue or SPLC. They have the media.
Good point.
God help us!
No there are too many rocks. The scale is more enormous than anyone, except Elon (maybe) can comprehend.
How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.
Public schools and universities.....the dumbing down of the American children.
Plus, fluoride in the water, aluminum & mercury in vaxxes.
And whatever they are spraying from the skies.....relentlessly.....and now mRNA in EVERYTHING! Even in the vaxes for pets. It's why I'll NEVER get my pet vax'd again!
I graduated from the then (and maybe now) largest university in the world in 1971. It was the same there then as it is everywhere now. They just flew under the radar. People do not change.
So make the effort yourself to supplement their lessons.
You should write a paper.....
I have written many papers, over many years,
And more.
You might be surprised.
What am I doing here, on a silly Substack forum? Humanitarianism does not work when the beneficiaries have their heads in the sand. And the Substack hosts rake in the revenues
That left the barn a long time ago.
That left the barn a long time ago.
Given uniparty prints over everything we're (Trump 2.0) unraveling, I think we'll have to revise that saying to, How do you eat a donkelephantkey? One bite at a time. (With lots of sauce for the gander, to mix a metaphor)
I wasn't referring to the elephant as a political party. Merely it's size. I've never had illusions of the average person's morals. Low morals would be an improvement over none. I made a nice living off that.
Better yet- will there EVER be consequences?? Arrests? If not absolutely nothing will change
Be assured, there will be arrests. This is a well planned military action against the globalist deep state to save our republic. They must be arrested or we lose our country. Enjoy the show.
This is where my hope lies for saving America.
If we are all very, very lucky, my biggest regret five years from now will be not buying stock in Redenbacher and Pop Secret.
Same
We haven't yet seen the last of the hidden landmines and booby traps laid into (what used to be) 'our' institutions, therefore it *definitely* behooves Trump's 2.0 team to proceed tiny step by tiny step by WHAM yer ded. Having this happen through an Alabama grand jury instead of the DoJ is genius, for example, and took time and meticulously detailed work rather than viral drama with podium grandstanding or dramatic cuffing of criminals.
Every time one of these dominoes fall, our confidence & patience should increase. Every time the Ds freak out, we should sharpen our knives for the uniparty. This cannot stop with Dem progs but all of the uniparty pocketbook-first America-last crowd.
Right!!! Let’s have them
Yes… can you imagine how fast people would be in prison if it were the Dems prosecuting?
"the caricature of what they think we are" - yes exactly. The retarded tiki torches never fit the profile. But J6 with more spooks than protesters and the Whitmer "kidnapping" fit their pattern.
EXACTLY
This is the result when you turn your party over to the "highly educated", but woefully mis-educated cadres that travel from Harvard and Yale to grifts like the SLPC.
Funny thing about cockroaches is that they scatter when the light comes on and run back into the dark, but unless they are captured and killed they will keep coming back again and again. We need to exterminate them once and for all since they are such hideous little unproductive creatures.
My first thought was “They’re probably also secretly paying Republican candidates and officials who are racist haters to create the illusion Republicans voters want that”.
As to the scale: quite right to assume it's enormous. How else could we add $30 trillion in national debt since the year 2005, a period of ~20 years, when it took around 230 years to accumulate the first $8 trillion?
I look at all of this and say that the Republicans have in a non-obvious way have been totally subversive themselves. I've noted that the Republicans have totally enabled the evil by voting for bloated budgets, not contesting voter fraud in any serious way and this going back at least to the Reagan era, rolling over on JFK, 911, Covid and now Epstein has once again vanished from the scene, and now hundreds of billions more are being added to the debt bomb which threatens to crash the roof in on us. Israel is still not our best ally and its lobby is still running things in Washington and throughout the states. And the people are still being robbed by persistent inflation and everyone knows it.
Okay, and I admits the SPLC news is splendid. But how are the books to be balanced? Will the total surveillance spy state of total enslavement ever be rolled back? Will the people keep on being used and misuse by a totally fraudulent fake money fiat? And will that be simple replaced by a change of name crypto control currency, an even greater evil?
I see outward changes. I see mitigation. But I see no loosing whatsoever of the condition of our enslavement, not even a conversation in the direction of a loosening of our miserable condition. And how will the debt be paid off except by more stealing in whole or in part.
I would love to see every dime of money confiscated from these corrupt groups paid toward the national debt. Officers of these corruption factories ought to be publicly convicted and have all assets seized towards that end as well.
"Conspiracy Theory" is just French for "Spoiler Alert".
I need thisnon a tee shirt. 😂
I need to learn how to make t-shirts (and stickers). I have so many spicy ideas.
There are companies online that will do it for you.
I've considered that, but I've also seen too many Etsy/Ravelry/online market horror stories involving conservative artisans getting shafted that I'd prefer to have as much control over the process as possible (I crochet, so I keep a watch on the "maker" community to see what the temperature is).
So really, it's on me to carve out time and learn this. I've got a country to meme. 😉
I understand. I have a niece-in-law who has a small business customizing t-shirts, jackets, etc. If you're every ready to roll on your spicy ideas, hit me up for her info. She's a good egg and also100% conservative.
gullfriend!
Hullo! 😁
Kind of like ‘vegetarian’ is an old Indian word for ‘lousy hunter.’
🤣🇨🇦
All NGO’s irrespective of which way they lean are corrupt organizations and should be illegal. But since both the left and the right use them that will never happen. How else can the fraud be funded?
re: SPLC as a non profit. Lets expand on that. Created in 1971 as a non profit, the deeply corrupt, criminal SLPC was designated as a 501C3 tax exempt organization, meaning "donors" got to write off their donations and this group operated without paying taxes. So, they operated as an untaxed legal army of the "institutional democracy" established by the uniparty (globalist marxists, dems, rinos) to destroy their enemies, which would be anyone on the right. And now we discover (thanks to Patel's FBI) they were using those same funds to pay criminal groups to commit crimes they would then take to court or get a corrupt DOJ (part of their deeply corrupt "institutional democracy) to criminally indict, prosecute, imprison their enemies.
So if anyone is wondering why the DOJ has been so slow moving, it is because of the corrupt rot put into it by the institutional democracy - for decades. THEY MIGHT AS WELL BE THE SPLC. Hopefully Trump is getting all the right people in place, like the GREAT prosecutor Joe DiGenova. Inspite of rotten thune and intentionally slow moving rotten to the core Senate. Guess who else is coming back, Devin Nunes!! Trump is bringing in the big guns who know the rot better than anyone.
Makes me think of Jesse Smollette.
It runs so deep, is there any hope?
Its an existential fight, if Trump and his team cannot defeat them then who does it fall to? The real keepers of our Constitutional Republic, the Citizens, me and you. Its why we have the 2A. The 2A is the last Constitutional process when the rest have failed.
Jim Quinn often described the 2nd Amendment as "The reset button on the constitution."
Yes, but in these days, we would have to have the military on our side, and I believe we do!
Much of it is on our side. Hegseth is doing his best to remove uniparty leaders in DOW. But the rot is up and down the chain of command due to 12 years of ovomit and the autopen stuffing it full ofideologues on the left.
Maybe the military. Not the police though. The vast majority of police will follow orders. “Ignore the protestors over there. Shoot those ones.” They will do as they are told.
Yes.. please stay positive. Positive energy is way more helpful than adding to all the negativity that is out there now.
I've said since the IRS went after Tea Party orgs, all so-called NGOs that accept even one cent of govt funding should be excluded from tax exemptions. No organizations should be tax exempt, including churches, and absolutely so-called religious or 'faith' based NGOs. And I'm not just looking at the filthy dirty Catholic and Lutheran orgs totally corrupted by love of mammon through funneling third-world America haters into our country. All of them.
Leave aside the oxymoron of "non" govt orgs that are largely or wholly funded by government (through extracting wealth from we the people). Tithe or don't tithe, and I do, but facts prove the system cannot be trusted (human nature cannot be trusted). No exemptions.
I’d love to see the 501(c)3 designation removed from the US Code altogether. The SPLC, sure, but also our church, animal rescues, children’s services….all of it. If we the people believe strongly that something is worthwhile, then we can reach into our pockets and fund it without expecting the “reward” of a tax break from our government.
Edit: I see Belling the Cat already expressed this….so, ditto!
Me too, it allows criminals to be better criminals.
Read another article that Michigan SOS Jocelyn Benson worked for SPLC prior to getting into politics! Now she’s running for Michigan governor. I’m wondering is she’ll be exposed before November? She apparently put it in her published memoir.
She is corrupt. She built the election manipulation system in Michigan. Hopefully Patel's FBI CAN connect her to certain splc criminal activities and lock her up with the rest. Or JD's fraud task force can roll her up for election theft.
I think we should do away with 501(c)(3). I'm implicitly paying part of their share of taxes even though I heartily disagree with many of these organizations. It's almost taxation without representation.
Agreed - NO tax dolllars should go to an NGO EVER AGAIN.
Agreed! Let the tax payer keep as much money of theirs!! Funding everything is getting REAL OLD
Except Israel, right? Don't forget about the Holocaust®.
It is mainly how the marxist globalists and their uniparty has gotten their dirty work done outside of their deeply evil institutional democracy.
The only way to send no tax dollars to NGO’s is to quit paying the tax man. The corrupt politicians just direct the flow of OUR tax $ - voila - more NGO’S!
You are inadvertently suggesting bigger federal government by saying no dollars to NGOs. Organizations who receive donations and grants for purposes like working to help after natural disasters is essential in recovery because locals can help better than taking a top down approach from federal government doing everything.
That is a non-sequitur....By the nature of their name "non-government organization", they should be exactly that....no government tax dollars....period....fund by like-minded private supporters....like NPR...or any charity....
It is a logical approach to immediate action. Of course, people who don’t serve their community without being paid, would never understand the meaning of volunteering to work for an NGO giving out government paid for food and supplies in an emergency.
Traditionally, it had been women who did not work outside of the home who did volunteer work. In the past couple decades, retired males, who need a purpose in life after retirement, have gone into volunteer work. The young receive credit in schools for forced volunteer work. But I am not referring to volunteers for NGOs.....Get their funding from private sources....not the taxpayer...
NGO is not a correct title in the US in any event. It is used in other countries but not here.
AI Overview begs to differ.
https://www.google.com/search?q=is+the+term+NGO+used+in+the+US&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari#lfId=ChxjMe
Then they all need to have an independent audit every year before giving any further federal dollars the following year.
Audit them for how much they gave Congressional members in kickbacks in return for getting them government funding.
This.
“Nonprofit audits are not always required annually. They are typically triggered by specific circumstances, such as receiving over $750,000 in federal funding, meeting state revenue thresholds, or being mandated by an organization's bylaws or grant requirements. Some states may require audits based on the nonprofit's total annual funding or contributions.”
Well, the last few years of proof of NGO fraud should justify changing that guideline; so that any organization that receives federal NGO $$ is required to provide an independent audit. Trusting these organizations to do what they say they’re gonna do with the taxpayer money is crazy.
I agree. Years ago, NPR (when I still listened) interviewed a guy who said people working for NGOs needed to be paid more to retain the best people. As my dad was a professor in social work, I thought his point made sense. It was absolutely the worst thing. The business mindset of growing NGOs took hold and became a cancer.
I've quit and re-upped to NPR because their information on many and varied subjects is found
nowhere else that I'm aware of. Its their left wing lying political stance that keeps me from donating to them again. I agree that no taxpayer money should be given to them ever again.
Same for "Planned Parenthood." How many zillions did they get from us? We were paying to murder babies.
Let me modify that. The term NGO which stands for Nongovernmental Organization is not a US legal term. It is imported from overseas. The problem is that there are many nonprofits that are good and operate within the law, and are mostly funded by good people who support their (if they are c3s) charitable activities.
But if an orgsnization receives significant funds from the government, then in no way is it an NGO. The government controls what is done with the money. And unfortunately they have used these so called NGOs to do what they cannot legally do directly. But if they cannot do it directly then they cannot legally do it indirectly, regardless of what they call it. It is these entities that must be done away with, rather than wiping out all nonprofits.
BTW if the SPLC is exempt from tax under 501(c)(3) then it legally cannot use any funds to support or oppose amyone running for public office.
And since it has been doing that, it should owe back taxes going back to its foundation.
Respectfully I disagree. They are all just a way to fund people that could never earn a living. They are just a way to virtue signal that you are better than me. But that’s just me cause I’m a pessimistic old boomer.
There are some non profits that feed children etc. But they are small. Once they become big enough to fund salaries etc they are taken over by left wing grifters.
Subsidies or tax exemptions = grift. There's no way of uncoupling the two.
Well, in most cases, the government doesn't follow up on the actual spending of the money granted to the NGO, so they have no accountability to the government.
The money our government paid to NGO "charities" IS the national debt.
There is a big difference between an NGO and an NPO. SPLC is a NPO. Your legitimate non-profit organization (501 C 3) does not hoard money it gives to the poor and the needy or advances charity, goodness, kindness and love.
If you give someone else's money, you are not giving at all.
The money collected by so-called legit charities, I allege, goes into jobs and offices for ppl who do fundraising. I am not convinced that the Arthritis Society, Diabetes Foundation, Kidney Foundation, etc., are doing much to help ppl deal with their illnesses. Perhaps money goes to research, but I need to be convinced of that.
I've got a bridge to sell ya
My point exactly.
I've long said Soros and others own both the Leftie and Rightie extremist groups--then FBI gets to cash in on them too (more funding, more personnel and promotions) while the constrictor slowly tightens down on our "free" society.
Internationally this is the same playbook with Russia paying Environmental groups/lawyers in US, Islamist terrorists being trained and brought in, SPLC and ADL and likely connections to other small but significantly wealthy foreign states and actors. This has always been the case historically too.
No sympathy for the swampish DeepState and those thriving within it. It's always been a nasty, disgusting, Cultish place that's wanted to corrupt and rape our nation and people while feigning as guardian and hero. The Stockholm Syndrome may be wearing off somewhat
Dare we hope that if the SLPC and other Soros cutouts are shut down, then the Democratic party might return to the party we knew up through the 90s, and mainstream media might shift back toward the middle again?
No.
Well...The Democrat Party has always been socialist...check out Woodrow Wilson...(That bridge will have its name changed)....But, you may be referring to Blue Dog Democrats....socially liberal (you be you and I'll be me) and fiscally conservative.....
in other words, central left, then, maybe, but either there is hard pain while the pendulum corrects from a 2+ generational swing, physics being what it is, or it continues to swing leftward into full communism.
Most people, regardless of nationality, are centrists...
to show how despicable this group is - they labeled Prager U as a hate group - I hope they are dissolved
Didn't they label Turning Point a hate group as well?
Read Bad Cattitude Substack today. He makes the same point and brings receipts.
@Maureen- My eyes have been glazing over lately when reading him. IDK if I'm overwhelmed or what but I can't concentrate on his words.
Bad Cattitude fellow -- he of all that admiring talk about freedom and democracy -- banned me because I failed to agree with him 100% a few times. Actually, I think he was getting nervous because I have the background that he lacks. He wings it half the time, and hopes that no one realizes.
So do not take them all at their word. These Substack hosts. Sometimes it is just smoke & mirrors from them. And they really do not beleive in democracy or free speech unless it suits. But the freedom-product sells well on Substack. No one has to know whether it is the host's genuine belief or not. Who ever said there was truth in advertising?
Well bless my heart aren’t you special.
Hah! The nastiness that oozes out of these "good Christians" when they are envious of what other commenters can write, says it all. You expose your true judgmental self, Steenroid. And it isn't pretty.
You really ought to get over that. Envy is a sin, my friend. Meow.....
Thank you very much for confirming you are an asshole that I can now block. FO
Eugyppius and Abbey of Misrule hosts banned me too. For knowing too much. And saying so. Eugyppius then publicly posted some of my personal information, and claimed it was an accident. Uh-huh.....more like spite.
They consider these Substack gigs all about them. They are the star of the show. Great little money-making ventures. Several of them simply play the role you want to see, and will pay subscriber fees for.
Where is the American consumer-savvy gone these days?
"banned for... knowing too much."
Yeah, that was the reason. O_0
You know that for a fact, do you? When I am a stranger to you. Too funny!
Here is a conundrum. Why do so many of you fall in adoration towards Jeff Childers, and a number of other Substack hosts....when they are fairly average folk? Some of them have low education levels, and I have seen them just winging it on their Substacks. Nonetheless, there is gushing adoration from the groupies below. And these hosts regularly toot their own horns. They are fairly boastful. Even the supposed religious ones. They behave more like cult leaders.
But I make a claim that I know more than one of them on some subject (and I prove it) -- and you heap scorn on my head. Even though I have been professionally trained in that field. And they have not been trained in it at all. They are just winging it. Hoping no one will notice.
Crazy!
Why do you feel justified in behaving that way to a fellow commenter who has generously offered valuable information here over weeks, but you allow your Subtack stars to get away with off-putting boasts? And these are people who may not have paid their dues in the world of higher education.
Remember how easy it is for anyone to rent a page at the Substack platform.
There is psychological terminology for people like you who go all googly-eyed at anyone they think might be a celebrity. It's a weakness. It is not my problem you have it.
Childers fought schmovid when it mattered. he's way, way above average word wrangler. he's a fun, furious legal brain.
when comments devolve into personal attacks or self aggrandizing, put the cheese in the fridge. please.
@A- and now we know what the A is for.
You could be in the wrong forum. You might like ResearchGate or Google Scholar.
Wording everything...Not being familiar with your comments and how they were worded, I suspect that you were banned for how you said something rather than what you said.
Personally, I like el gato although he gets a little long lately and, imho, could tighten up his postings.
No, that was not the reason. I looked more knowledgeable than those hosts, because I have formal training in the relevant fields and they do not. Therefore they had their noses out of joint. Had to dispose of the competition so the limelight was back on THEM! Pretty simple.
NGO's exist to launder money, and keep themselves in business first. Just like Big Pharma, Big Military (gotta use up the stockpiles, since the bonus $ was already paid out on those and we have a new crop of generals/admirals, lobbyists, and politicians that want nice 2nd houses).
Anything subsidized is wrought with fraud. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. I'd like to see all 501c3 organizations gotten rid of.
I'd take it one step further, all religious organizations should have their tax free status removed. Many of them are truly wealthy and should help to pay for their place on US soil. We have little or no idea where their cash goes or how its used. There should be no free rides.
Or where it comes from. I live in a poverty-stricken area, but there are many giant mega-churches around. Their giant buildings stand out among the shacks surrounding them.
Where do they get their money? Definitely not from the poor people who go to them. I know that they help those people, and that is good, but where does the money come from?
Mrs. RW
Americans have another big wake-up call coming and that is finding out their
religious affiliations have dirty hands. The bigger they are, the filthier. Religions of every type are businesses. Like Mamdani in NYC chants the rich should pay their share, that should go for churches, synagogues and temples too.
haven't we known it for decades? Tammy Faye, et al.
like Scientology -- which fought the IRS... and won.
They are generally not funded by the government but by parishoners. Those should be left alone. HOWEVER if they receive money from the government (such as those bringing in illegal aliens) then yes do away with them.
I personally think a big part of the Pope’s beef with Trump about illegals is related to the fact that Catholic Charities is getting less money now 😑
Not to mention Lutheran Social Services and other "charities" like that. Tf they are going to be social hydrants they should do it on their own dime, not yours or mine.
If religious orgs are considered Tax Exempt by the gov't, I consider that FUNDING by the gov't, its just classified differently. If they are not paying taxes, that's $$ the gov't is allowing them to keep. We as taxpayers do not get
that perk.
Some religions/denominations/sects are richer than many corporations and yet take from impecunious taxpayers by obtaining 501(c)(3) status. They own buildings, land, corporations, patents . . . and yet don't want to pay taxes.
You would probably like this article about what happened to former employees fired because of USAID closing:
https://tinyurl.com/4n34w4c8
Having worked for a company for a decade and then watched it be bought and split up, and not willing to move down south to continue the employment there, I had to find a new job, and another job where I got downsized, I do have sympathy for people who get "the notice". Been there. It's a yucky feeling. It's why every night I get down on my knees and thank the Good Lord for the blessing of the job I have. With the advent of AI, it makes it harder to just jump in to a new job now, since many corporate jobs now expect their people to learn more efficiencies with AI, to obviate the need to hire more people. "Increased productivity" is how it is couched.
The fact is the lack of real government oversight, that a feckless Congress should have been doing the last few decades, contributed to the "big government" bubble, which has now popped a bit.
Historical note - DC area surpassed Hawaii to become the most expensive place to live in 2012, after Obama did his damage and increased the pigs at the trough. It remains a top 5 costly place to live.
Funny, the NGO's and non-profits always said they had to pay outrageous salaries (imo over $200,000 for that work in a leadership/top level is too much) to compete with the private sector. Ironic that a lot of these people can't even get $125,000 jobs now. So I guess the private sector didn't think they were valuable enough to bring on board. The market is resetting itself. Maybe some plan to hang on until Nov. 2028 to see if the country will go stupid and vote in a Dem, in the hopes they can get their faces back in the trough.
There's no doubt DC has created a bubble of inflation in that area. There were unnecessary activities that required employees. The bureaucracy itself demands employees to maintain itself. The government needs a major overhaul, and much of it is going to be painful because of the Democrats' socialistic approach to government.
We definitely need to stop referring to them as non-profit organizations because it is apparent that many people are profiting from them.
The "progressive" political machine is an organized crime syndicate on a scale that the Italian Mafia never dared to dream. You are correct that the SPLC and their $800 million is one instance of who-knows-how-many or how much.
Unfortunately for voters/taxpayers, the vast majority of Republicans want to duplicate this success, rather than punish it.
Because of social media, we no longer have to believe what the msm tells us, although they do set the narrative that people argue about, as we can see here.
There was no "violent riot" at Charlottesville.
There was one guy who ran his car into a crowd, then backed out like he was an Indy 500 driver.
Hours later, they arrested a bespectacled young man who had autism and lived with his parents.
That was the beginning on the internet censorship. But before YouTube took it down, I watched a video, I think it was that Melissa woman, who analyzed the video of the event.
The man driving the car was older and didn't wear glasses. He looked like a special forces operative, but that's just my stereotype. He definitely was not a young bespectacled awkward kid. I think the kid was a patsy.
Anyway, I also saw a video put out by a black guy, showing the buses unloading both the "KKK" and the "protesters".
I also saw the rally against the statue removal, the police shutting it down, the protests of the leaders who pointed out that they had a permit, and the herding of them into the line of protesters, which we were then told was "violent". It wasn't.
That was definitely a special ops against Trump, not an organic event, and not a violent riot.
But if history repeats itself NOTHING a will happen to them. It’s so freaking frustrating
After one summer doing paralegal work for migrant farm workers while I was paid well by SPLC, I realized the year-round staffers in their fancy high rise office tower never went to the field to be face-to-face with any “poor” people. Instead, they did coord with state law enforcer officials by tel and with distant HQ staff big time litigators to make settlement money on “big” cases from their poor clients. Meanwhile we summer hires worked full time so our bosses could tick boxes on forms to show SPLC was doing the mins for the poor people to justify their steady gravy train of federal government cash. It was all a racket which enabled massive welfare fraud as I saw on the ground in Minnesota.
"Are there even conspiracy theories anymore, or just conspiracies?"
The Conspiracy Community has been saying for decades that America is one of the most heavily censored countries in the world. And these past weeks have proven it.
American news has been telling Americans that Trump is in control of the war and the negotiations, while the international news was saying that Iran is in control and negotiations are NOT going well, which turned out to be true.
And YouTube is deleting videos of international news.
Censorship in America is not a conspiracy theory, it is a conspiracy against the American people.
To be fair - I'd assume that _every_ NGO is doing this. As some others have opined - there are no (or insanely small numbers of) groups that take money, solve a problem, and then say "well, we're done, let's dissolve". Of course, most of these are likely left-leaning in the first place because that's just part of the "take public money" mindset.
You sound like the SPLC saying whites are all KKK. Your local hospital is most likely a nonprofit. 😂
You sound like the SPLC saying whites are all KKK. Your local hospital is most likely a nonprofit. 😂
I see your post in triplicate.
hospital is now a dirty word.
Local hospital probably isn't a typical "NGO". And even then - too many "non-profit" hospitals take in _way_ too much money. See Houston Methodist and their endless fight against Mary Bowden and such.
Sadly, my trust in NGOs and funding is quite low right now. Too many abused the trusts given them and it's a good time to look hard into many of them, especially the ones with larger budgets.
A hospital doesn't blink at sending bills well over $100,000 to poor people who survive on very little and have no insurance. Is that charitable? Charities should subsist on donations from private individuals and companies.
Not for profit is just a tax status, but all NGOs are governed by their boards like for profit businesses.
Sorry, out of cellular service.
Speaking of conspiracies, I happened to look up RFK Jr. just to see when he was born, and wikipedia identifies him as a conspiracy theorist. Ha.
wikipedia has been captured by leftist editors, it is no longer reliable imho. Try Grok.
Grokipedia is up and running now.
I am aware. So obvious! And pathetic.
Badge of honor, from those guys.
I first read about the SPLC back in the mid 1980's. They are actually a communist front group AND NOW someone is hopefully finally going to do something about them. Way past time but without Donald Trump in office this would have never happened.
✝️✝️✝️
In the morning, O LORD, You will hear my voice;
In the morning I will order my prayer to You and eagerly watch.
For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness;
No evil dwells with You.
The boastful shall not stand before Your eyes;
You hate all who do iniquity.
You destroy those who speak falsehood;
The LORD abhors the man of bloodshed and deceit.
But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house,
At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.
— Psalm 5:3-7 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
Wonderful WONDERFUL verse.
“But as for me…”
☺️❤️
“O worship the Lord, in the beauty of holiness.” I can only say - me, too!
A good lesson in forgiveness…let’s forgive those who have harmed us and focus on our redemption.
Leave them in God’s just hands, for He knows and sees all.
Amen
I can pray that they repent and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior while also praying for God’s Judgement and Justice. ✝️🙏🏼✝️
Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord!
Forgiveness is personal... not for politics and countries. When you let politicians go off scott free they turn back on you even worse and eat you alive.
Proverbs 24:24-25 (NIV): "Whoever says to the guilty, 'You are innocent,' will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations. But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them."
Amen 🙏
That is a hard pass for me Richard. If you can forgive those that have committed SRA against infants, pedos, big harma that killed millions with the jab, man made virus makers and the list goes on, more power to you.
I was referring to my personal life sorry should have been more specific
Nothing to be sorry about. All the above is personal even if not directly as it affects the human race.
Kash Patel making headlines, and still there are some trying to convince the people that Kash is not doing a good job. Indicting the SPLC would not have happened in the FBI 1.0, they were working with them I'm sure. I'm so glad to see that organization go down, they have made a career of attacking anything conservative or American.
Simply uncovering the existence of secret room and hidden files in at the FBI is, in itself, a massive accomplishment. Now with Kevin Nunes coming back, things are going to get spicy. 😎
I was wondering why that man was not put in this cabinet, but maybe a better use of him is behind the scenes.
Devin Nunes? "Coming back" how? Great news!
https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/hldnunes-depart-trump-media-focus-intel-oversight-role
"Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) CEO and Chairman Devin Nunes is leaving the organization to prioritize his role on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, after catapulting the Truth Social platform into a global brand built on free speech."

"At PIAB, he has worked closely with Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA Director John Ratcliffe to declassify bombshell revelations about intelligence abuses as well as spur reforms to spy agencies that have become increasingly politicized over the last decade.
For instance, Nunes' team recently worked with Ratcliffe as the CIA recalled more than a dozen intelligence analyses that did not meet spy tradecraft standards, a powerful rebuke of past leadership at the Agency."

Yes, he left his Truth Social post.
Devin Nunez
I know. I even have to battle my phone when it corrects my own son’s name which is Devon. So irritating.
Turn off auto correct
Indeed they will.
I was wondering why he was leaving Truth Social
This is great news
I would love to see those Epstein Files Patel et. al are hiding.
Maybe because I watch nothing of trad media anymore and was off social media most of yesterday, the SLPC story totally escaped me. The little National news I heard was all about the ridiculous gerrymandering ballot passing narrowly in Virginia.
"Passing narrowly" the same way that Gavin Gruesome won his recall or Abigal Spanberger won her political office in the first place.
Va SupremeCourt stopped it as unconstitutional. Will be reviewed. Good news.
“Passing narrowly” with their various methods of cheating:
Lara Logan great interchange about it

Agree Dave, and just think....he did it all with a massive hangover!!!🤣🤣🤣
Kash is a cockroach (like Blanche, Wiles, Lutnick, Kushner, Vance, Bessant, etc)
EPSTEIN

They serve Israel... like Trump.

Another weed pulled!
—“ names! Rare Books Warehouse? Really? Was “Totally Legit Business, LLC” already taken? And … CIA? Are you kidding me? Did all the SPLC’s lawyers have a great laugh over that one? I bet they aren’t laughing now.”
Shades of “Learing Centers” 😑😛😆
This made me suddenly want to incorporate "Totally Legit Business, LLC."
If it isn't already taken.
😆
Hubris, through and through
That’s the kind of nonsense that occurs when one thinks they are smarted than anyone else. Generally, eventually failure.
Classic lib moral superiority
You just described commenter A. in a nutshell. 😂 Trust them they are self described smarter than all of us.
Right? 🙄 And we would be so deprived of this person’s brilliance should he decide to leave this Substack 🙄
The only thing left is for A. to whip out his Mensa card.
Regard A.'s arguments on their merit. Or lack thereof. Be on guard for logical fallacies.
Just like you would for anyone else, especially me. Especially me.
But if I ever rely on the fallacy of Appeal to Authority, and claim that I am that authority, then, by all means, disregard everything I have to say.
Trust me, I’m an expert. On everything 😂
If you're the expert on who's an expert, no one can challenge you. Well played!
I just blocked him so I don’t have to read his pompous pronouncements. I guess I am going to have to resign myself to being deprived of his staggeringly brilliant insights 😑
I Finally was able to figure it out. Must have to be on a computer. Got 3 while on a roll. Looking forward to tomorrow 😂
I can sneak you some AOL speeches to help with the withdrawal pains.
What, he's not in Intertel?!
😂
👍
That one earned a block from me already. It's blissful not seeing their self-elevated trash.
Same.
The books were so rare, they didn't exist. 🤣
"Invisible Books" would have been a good name. They are ebooks that haven't been written yet.
The catalogue includes: "The Voynich Manuscript" in pdf. form, and nothing else.
Now that’s RARE l! 😆😛
Is "Medium Rare Books, LLC" taken?
🤣🤣🤣
I’ll bet “CIA” was not a joke, but an actual attempt to convince the hate groups they were working for the real CIA.
Wouldn’t surprise me.
Running Logic… 💥🎯💥🎯… all the while reading todays post, one of Jeffs BEST… I kept replaying the movie “Laundromat” with Meryl Streep in my head… maybe Scott Burns, laundromats screenplay writer and Steven Soderberg can use this SPLC and connected criminal NGO’s activities reports to write and produce “Laundromat 2.0…” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Laundromat_(2019_film)
Too bad. I would have had a marvelous time browsing thru a Rare Books Warehouse. Though I would expect it to be a pretty small warehouse. Maybe if it had tables and chairs for us to use while perusing to books?
I too would bet the SPLC does not survive this case as an organization.
I would also bet that they manage to metastasize into some other form to continue carrying out their anti-American leftist work, as did ACORN, Journo-List, etc etc....
Rust never sleeps.
Agree completely...the Dems won't give up. Their money will just move to other orgs. We need to "follow that money" and nip in the bud whatever those new orgs get up to.
The number one priority of those scurrying roaches will be to steal the midterms and I have NO confidence the Republican Party is up to the job of preventing that.
I would LOVE to see a post from Jeff on all the things Republicans and others are doing to prevent the steal! The SAVE Act is still stalled--when does its passage become moot for the midterms? I can see certain States saying, "there's not enough time to implement it before the midterms", if say, it doesn't pass until May or June.
Sounds like Republican House has a been infiltrated.
Rust we can handle, incarnate evil is much harder.
And how many more SPLC's are there we havent uncovered yet? How about the ADL and
the ACLU?
How much of that money comes from human trafficking, drug trade, etc?
or how much of that money came from USAID?
They need to go after all the leaders and employees who were aware of these activities and charge them with crimes as well.
It will quickly return and under another name if it hadn’t already.
They could relocate to Wisconsin and help the Somalis and would not have to change their abbreviation.
Reposting this because I think it’s important especially in light of everything that’s been happening:
(Also, DataRepublican is a national treasure!)
https://twitchy.com/samj/2026/04/21/datarepublican-thread-real-reason-democrats-keep-going-after-hegseth-n2427338?
Running Logic, YES! This is a very disturbing piece and goes along with some of the other info we’ve learned about the various groups set up to go after Trump and conservatives. She’s the real deal - brilliant investigative reporter and worth following. She’s also brilliant with numbers and was helping Musk and the DOGE guys at one point. Thanks for posting this link. It’s important!
On the topic of Hegseth - My husband is a former Navy pilot, USNA grad, with hundreds of contacts in the retired military ranks. Very few were in favor of Hegseth’s nomination when it was first announced but it didn’t take long for almost everyone to come on board. They think he’s a breath of fresh air for the War Department and the man for the job. The fact that he’s being targeted - and the people/groups who are targeting him - should emphasize that even more.
Thanks RL, EVERYONE needs to read that thread as Data Republican brings the receipts on the left's current color revolution to conduct a coup of President Trump. She connects the dots and also shows how the Seditionist Six were and are a part of it.
So lets be clear, there is an ongoing attempt to conduct a color revolution of Trump and his admin. They need to be rounded up and people need to be hung for treason against the USA.
But then the loons label it as revenge and political warfare…
Yeah, they are not going to roll over and play dead, they fully understand it is an existential fight, and they dont intend to lose it. They will use the institutional democracy and all their deeply evil and corrupt NGOs to win. This is the real war which has been delayed for decades by the likes of ovomit, clinton, pelosi, mcconnell, the autopen, gates zuckerburg, bezos, etc. Trump is our Warrior sent by God to defeat them.
Data republican is most definitely a national treasure!
Thanks for pointing her Tweet, will be getting her book.
Even more depth from Tore: https://x.com/idontexisttore/status/2045294372053188787?s=46&t=tRkuVazs5WsPrJ4b6TdVvw
A coup IN PROGRESS. Names, recordings, documentation, receipts. It's all there, an 8-part series. A Must-See!
I just pre-ordered her book, forthcoming in October. For a surprise (one hopes).
Same!
Jennica Pounds is a real American Hero!! DJT really ought to give her a citizen award!
Agree!
Interesting....about security forces....discussed on one of the latest America's Untold Stories....conversely, some sites are proposing that one of the reasons why so many single immigrants in EU countries is to use them when the natives arise in revolt and the natives security forces join them against the growing fascist governments....the immigrants will have no such loyalty to the people...
What's happening right now is glorious! Thank you God for President Trump!
His ear was scarred by an assassination attempt. These are the strangest of times.
1] I always thought SPLC would have been destroyed by their sexual harassment scandal or race discrimination suit back in the day. Anywho,
2] A few thoughts to share on Mayor Man-Dummy: https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/man-dummy
3] Speaking of books. Amazon banned a new edition of The Camp of the Saints by the late French novelist Jean Raspail — and then quietly re-listed the book after online backlash to the company’s attempted censorship. I wrote about that book once. https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/from-the-united-kingdom-to-great?utm_source=publication-search
I know already, I share too much.
Keep over sharing. Your writing is priceless💗.
Why thanks so kindly.
Camp of the Saints was the Nostradamus of its time
I just looked it up-wow, all coming to fruition. Will go to the library and pick it up!
Yes, I know the Jean Raspail book. I have had it in Kindle for some time, but not read it yet. Considered one of the great prescient dystopian novels predicting our modern era.
I have to say though, that as one of the Globalists under the British Network, PM Pierre Trudeau of Canada was already starting to lay the groundwork for mass immigration from the third world into Canada by the late 60s, prior to this book. So perhaps Mr. Raspail was taking his hints from that.
Toronto Protocols: Creation of a Deep State.
"Labor for all, the opening of Credit for all; Leisure for all will be our bogie for the illusory creation of a new social class: the "Middle Class". Because once our objectives are reached, the "Class" in the middle, between the secular poor, and we the rich, we will definitely remove by cutting off all means of survival."
"Thus it will be possible to sharply increase the burden of the State by multiplying without any limit a body of intellectual public servants. Insured for years in advance of material security, they will be consequently perfect for executors of "Government Authority", in other words of "Our Power".
"Thus creating an impressive body of officials who will in itself (a Government within the Government), irrespective of the political party that is in power. This anonymous machine can serve us one day means of leverages when the moment comes to accelerate the economic collapse of the Nation States, because these will not be able to indefinitely sustain such mass salaries without having going into debt beyond their means."
The Toronto Protocols of the Canadian Freemasons. 1967
You might want to look into the case of Socialist NDP politician Tommy Douglas of Canada, who instituted Canada's socialized healthcare system in the 60s. Likely as the basis for later eugenics. Such as unlimited abortion and MAID.
Tommy Douglas was a member of the British Network of Globalists.
Well, the various secret societies have been around for eons. Some going back to the Fall of Rome. Such as the case of the British Network of Globalists.
So, much of this was known, but not publicly available.
Strongly encourage you to read the book, A. It is a difficult read only because it strikes so close to the bone. You actually "feel" the events in the book and know that what the author predicted is playing out in real time though the specifics are somewhat different.
Thanks for your take on this.
très interessant ! the Frenchies have an ongoing thing with their right wing authors.
Morning! ☕️☕️❤️
My neighbor’s tree is producing bananas 😃 she gave me a bunch so I’m enjoying sweet creamy REAL bananas with my Coffee & Covid 👍🏼 Have a great day!
My neighbor just gave me a tree from her banana tree. It seems these trees propagate new trees. Planted it last week and maybe next year I’ll have some fresh bananas
I grow them here in Pa. Mostly for the tropical beauty because the development of Bananas takes too long in our short season. I have 4 half barrels with 8ft trees in my garage just waiting to go out on my deck. lol. I did get a tiny bunch of 1 inch bananas which were adorable last summer. Hilarious
Planting that is a great idea. You may need the back yard banana in the coming years. Just saying.
I know plantains grow like weeds,and spread like crazy.
I love plantains
But, was it a banana tree? lol
Fun fact they are an herb.
I did not know that. My first thought though was, I'd be surprised to see a banana growing on another kind of tree. But if it is hardy in Illinois maybe I should plant one.
In illinois? Probably better off with an apple tree.
😆
I got plantains. Can’t get my head around them.
I can't get my mouth around them.
We have several banana trees. Aren’t they delicious?
What about rice?
Nice! 🍌
Top of the day.
Back later, 2 classes to teach.
Good morning Juju!! 😊
Happy Wednesday!! ☺️🌸
Good morning Juju!
Good morning!
Good morning 🌞
Good morning, Juju. Have a good day.
Klinks coffee cups

I’ve spent time at theSPLC HQ. it’s the one place in Montgomery where there is absolutely NO poverty. Beautiful building luxuriously appointed and more security than the entire secret service. Non profit my arse!
Of COURSE it is!
The switch from Bondi to Blanche is genius.
If your fundraising depends on racism then by golly you better keep racism well-funded.
Exactly.
And, if your fundraising and salaries depends on cancer, then you must keep the disease ongoing with useless chemotherapy and other drugs. Make sure alternate treatments are never to see the light of day.
And then our government goes ahead with their big mRNA push to.......Cure Cancer! Laughable if it were not so sad.
This is what I missed in B-school! I’m such a dumbass, my 20, 30 year old products sell on eBay for 2-3x’s than they sold for new. Arrrrrghhhh- dads hand it down to their kids and buy new for themselves. Should have made it disposable. No wonder I’m not rich as Gates.
Sounds anti semantic
SPLC is tax exempt . As are parts of act blue . Time for IRS to get to work. Perhaps even assert breaches of exempt status on retroactive basis m meaning lots of back taxes owing by these organizations
...and presumably their donors, the big ones, who might've taken big tax deductions for those donations.
Yes. Lots of very FINE PEOPLE who always proclaim how critical full transparency is in our democracy
IRS has a criminal investigation division, they need to get on this one.
Yes. STAT
It is time for Congress to get to work. Donations to the vast majority of NGOs and charities should not be deductible. They need to create a class system for charities with legit churches at the top and bottom feeders at the bottom. Many if not most of the charities out there are just employers of unproductive liberals. They raise money and pass it on to other charities all of which take their cut ad infinitum. The Demonic Party has created a vast network of criminal organizations. They all employ liberals and leftists who think they are better than everyone else who actually works for a living.
Imagine what a real king would do with these tax abusers.
Remember during Biden years the numerous clips we were shown of "neo Nazis" marching in their khakis and flying their flag? We were told it was an extreme right group. More than likely, paid actors courtesy of the SPLC. Those of us with a working brain knew it was a hoax.
How about Arabella & Tides? Any Grand Juries empaneled for those malicious actors? Also, how much federal funding did SPLC receive? Did they take covid funds?
The beauty of most Grand Juries is they nearly always are secret until the indictments are announced. I nearly got called on a Federal GJ but the person they were investigating plead guilty first.
I have known for several decades that SPLC is a propaganda machine of the far-left. That point has rarely been disputed by normal people. I suppose the only question was when they would fall, and how bad the outcome would be. For them.
In case other readers here jump to the conclusion that I must be far-right....I am not.
I'm Centrist.
Far-left and far-right are both destructive. The point being -- stay away from extremes.
The term "far right" has lost its meaning anyway, being hurled at anyone not following the dogma and narratives of the rabid left. Ignore those fools and their labels...
Critical Thinker - Don’t know this for a fact but someone a few days ago had said A is a bot. It writes like it is.
"It"? You seem to be keen on dehumanizing people. It was a great Nazi tactic. What does that say about you?
No my friend. I am simply well-educated, and a fine writer. Maybe you don't have any of those in your own circles. Lost art. Good critical thinker too.
That slur was put around by several far-right Pentecostalists, who are not keen on educated persons. Seems we show them up. But they consider themselves "fine Christians". Which makes me giggle. What they generally display is certainly not Christianity.
Btw...I have heard the rumour too that Free in Florida is a bot. H-m-m....
Using this tactic of calling someone a bot is not much different from the unsavoury tactics used by the SPLC. See what I mean about the far-left and the far-right being two peas in a pod? Same controlling, smearing manipulations. Just another form of Cancel Culture.
How do we know that Jeff Childers isn't a bot, while we're at it?
FINE WRITER?
You really have no idea.
"Carl Jung wrote: 'Old Heraclitus, who was indeed a very great sage, discovered the most marvellous of all psychological laws: the regulative function of opposites. He called it Enantiodromia, a running contrariwise, by which he meant that sooner or later everything runs into its opposite'"
(Thanks to Leo for telling me this concept has a Wikipedia entry)
do you always reply to yourself?
Yep...sounds like a bot to me, too! Can we block it?
So this is the way you think you are going to get around saying you support democracy and free speech (and abhor censorship), while still trying to blot out anyone who disagrees with you. What a low tactic, Greg.
How is this any different from totalitarian practices? Let me tell you -- it isn't.
In the Soviet world, the same trick was to pretend that a "dissident" was mentally ill. And then claim that you had to have them committed...for their own good. Uh-huh....
This ugly little suggestion form GregWA is nothing more than totalitarianism practiced against someone because they refuse to join the groupthink of your particular herd. In other words, because they have an individual mind and morality. It seems that Greg does not support either individualism or freedom. So what is he doing in America? Trump might have a look at him. He hates totalitarianism.
Shame on Greg!
"Shamed" by a bot! That's a new one! And if everyone here is a bot, except me of course, then I need a new filter, a new basis for assessing content.
But to A's point about censorship...this is a private space, Jeff's blog, Substack's site. They can publish or not publish anything they want. Being highly educated, well "trained" anyway, you should know that censorship is something the government does.
Blocking someone/thing that does not discuss/argue in good faith is not a bad thing!
I think I am going to forward this to a contact in the WH.
I take your point. I know very well how this has been used to mis-label.
However, there is indeed a far-rightwing, mainly of religious extremists. Their behaviour is very similar to the far-leftwing WOKE. Only the groupthink narrative is different. Some of them hang out here, though why they chose a news site is a mystery.
What both have in common is a immutable belief that all they believe is absolutely right, it’s undebatable.
When the far-right religious extremists cannot debate me on facts, they end up screaming that I am the Anti-Christ, which they consider their trump-card.
Lord, give me patience.....
Just another form of the ad hominem fallacy. That and the genetic fallacy, in my unscientific survey, seem to be the top two fallacies in use nowadays.
Absolutely, Dave! Though none of them see that their supposed enemies are precisely the same psychological type as they are.
I find it very comical! Takes the concept of "unawareness" to a whole new level.
Rush L. labeled centrists as those who couldn’t make up their minds…
Well it seems that Rush L. misunderstood the concept. Perhaps he is not much of a thinker. He had only a high school education. Whereas I have professional training in Evolutionary and Depth Psychology. I think I beat Rush.
I advise you not to adopt ideas simply because someone was popular. You absorb a lot of garbage that way.
I was giving you the benefit of the doubt until this comment.
I am not giving you the benefit of the doubt. I knew with your first comment that you are a surface thinker. You get your ideas from popularity alone.
I will have to avoid reading your posts in future. Though you are perfectly free to write them.
A Legend In Your Own Mind.
Ooh...the envy dripping off of you. It's delicious. I tend to have that effect on those I debate in my floor-wiping sessions.
Yes, I think I would agree that you are crabby. I might even go further than that.
I'll call the janitor for a clean-up, shall I? I imagine you as a puddle of melted wax just now. With a green tinge.
You are perfectly entitled to your opinion of yourself…
Ooh...sounds like Richard's sour grapes because I bested him!
What Right, Left, Centrist?
All one party.
Not me.
I know my Psychology too well.
