House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries (AKA dollar store Obama) yesterday, doing his best to sound like a thug, threatened Florida governor Ron Desantis for redistricting Florida, allowing the GOP to gain up to 4 House seats. Democrats have gerrymandered the democrat states so much for so long there’s no more meat left on the bone to keep them afloat politically. With yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling the republicans are just getting going finally. Hakeem needs to know you live by the sword you die by the sword. You live by gerrymandering you die by gerrymandering. Love it!!

Facts.

PSA: blacks did not loose the right to vote. Black Democrats lost guaranteef districts. Tim scott can win, in majority white districts, Bryon Donald's too.

This ain't about race.

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

But "race" is what the Democrats want to make it about... that's what they've ALWAYS made it about... All the way back to Andrew Jackson... the Democratic Party has ALWAYS been the Party of Slavery.

JasonT's avatar

It’s all they have. They have no coherent argument.

GregWA's avatar

They don't give a fig about race. They don't care about women, minorities, or anything they say they care about. They care about power. And for one reason: they want power to bring about communism and by that I mean COMMUNISM, all day long.

Just like the Muslims they lie about it all to hide their true objective until its too late.

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

I wish I could agree with you about more than "They don't give a fig about race. They don't care about women, minorities, or anything they say they care about. They care about power."... And I do agree wholeheartedly about that... unfortunately, the truth is more complicated than any political system.... Politics... Religion... Race... Ethnicity... Gender... Economics... etc. , etc. They're all just the playing cards.

Didn't the country do away with "...separate but equal..." a long time ago?

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

No... I don't think so... at least the citizenry hasn't... and as far as laws go... morality isn't legislatable, only punishable.

Celia M Paddock's avatar

Um, Brown vs Board of Education?

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

Ohhhhh! If it were only so simple... again, morality is not legislatable, only punishable... If "Brown vs Board of Education" or any other legislation were an effective cure, then racism wouldn't exist... I rest my case.

Yep, division, hate, victim-hood, whereas this suprem court decision simply says no discrimination and equal protection under the law for all. No decisions based on race. They long ago abandoned MLK.

Regarding Iran this is a worthy paragraph by Jeff...

"This is the key. We’ve learned that the Iranian Republican Guard Corps (IRGC) is a parasitic mega-corporation that has co-opted the elected government of Iran, and uses the apparatus of state to suck blood and treasure out of the Iranian people, all to enrich a secretive class of demented hypocrites who cosplay as religious maniacs but are really violent mobsters with missiles and an army."

I wish to point out the parasitical fraudulent - rob from the tax payer nature of the Democratic party, so of course the left stream media does not want to highlight this like reflection on their party. Indeed, the radical left gave billions to these dark age thieves.

Prime example of human nature, evident in every culture since the beginning. If a society doesn't work at being good they will good at doing evil. And taking advantage of others. We are living in an era right now where examples are being brought to light and we act surprised.

I loved it. I never understood why black leadership is all in on diluting their minority status to ever bigger minority status by canoodling with third and fourth worlders.

BD's avatar

Democrats have convinced minorities that they gain more power by creating huge blocks of democrat voters. The laughable result of this thought is that the only ones who gain power are totalitarian democrats...at the expense of the people they claim to protect. Just look at our large cities for the correct answer.

TiredCitizen's avatar

Well, "They long ago abandoned MLK" isn't a bad thing although I understand your point. MLK was a non-Christian socialist. Look it up. Chad Jackson is an excellent source.

I understand, and was simply referring to the "judge a man by the content of his character, not the color of his skin," quote, and I would add Malcom X, and Fredrick Douglas to the list of black leaders the current left has long since abandoned.

It's ALWAYS about race: keeping the slave owners in Washington and the slaves living ghettos cheering for them and their slave overseerings: preachers, activists, etc (that comes courtesy of Vince Everett Ellison)

Torrance Stephens's avatar

In the minds of weak folks, you are correct, but in others, race is only important on the track or at the polls.

Occam's avatar

A number of states are limited to using entire existing counties in voting districts to remove a lot of this race-based gerrymandering.

The entire issue is bs, and NOBODY should be allowed to do it. Both parties guilty, but the dems much worse, as they've got to include urban areas and run those districts out in the hinterland to ensure blue districts.

More proof that we're not led by serious people.

RevMikeyMac's avatar

It's up to state legislatures to determine those districts, so, with Dems in control in CA, things may not change.

David Nelson's avatar

RevMikeyMac, it was my understanding (although I do wake up in a completely different universe every morning) that some state legislatures had redistricting according to judicial writs thrust upon them. "A good spanking" would be just so therapeutic for California, which has only-child syndrome, and encouraging for the Nation.

Paige Green's avatar

In Michigan, we have a commission that does district maps, so I was curious if CA had one as well. Here’s my query on Grok and what I found out. Thought it might be of interest for you as well.

Michigan’s bipartisan redistricting commission was the result of a ballot initiative voted through in 2020. The initiative was spurred on by Soros after Trump was elected in 2016, signatures collected by all the outraged pussy hatted women. We never thought the initiative would pass, they seldom do, but this one received a lot of media hype and was written to seem reasonable.The redrawing of the new districts finished for 2022, and from a House rep, I knew then, he said this commission had no idea what they were doing. His district was carved into two pieces his district now had a liberal large city added and one whole rural county taken out. He lost his rebid for election. There was no bipartisanship to the redistricting. It favored Democrats across the board and gave us our first Democrat Legislature in Michigan in 40 years.

Duckduffer's avatar

Unless the districts were mapped to ensure racial minority representation, this will not be a factor. I'm assuming you meant minority majority in relation to Reps/Dems not race.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

If we could just get our elections restored to one day, on paper, hand counted at small precincts, results delivered by couriers with police escort, gerrymandering would be obsolete. It's why rinos and dems in the uniparty senate (and likely with their french wineries paid by us) will have nothing to do with restoring elections. Their s_Elections keep them in power. Maybe change their name to IRGC?

LMWC's avatar

I wish! Our SOS in Michigan, (Dem), who is running for governor, (shades of Arizona and Katie Hobbs), has come up with 13 new election rules for clerks and poll workers that have the force of a felony if election workers screw up. Just more layers of paperwork and less transparency. These are not laws as the legislature did not vote on them, but if they go into effect on some of our early primaries, they carry the force of law. Brought out late before anyone has a chance to react properly. They are evil people always ahead on ways to screw their citizens over. That she is even allowed to run is beyond corrupt. And she is tied to the SLPC, sat on the Board of directors at one time and ran some of their infiltration groups….

This is why in March 2026, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), under the direction of the Trump administration, initiated a sweeping ban on the importation and sale of new foreign-made consumer-grade Wi-Fi routers, as well as some other connected devices. This action is aimed at reducing reliance on foreign technology—particularly from China—and mitigating national security risks, such as cyber espionage and supply chain vulnerabilities.

Not just routers, but your iphones or android devices made overseas DO have backdoors. Now, most of us do not deal with government data ect to be exploited, but the dangers are still there and could interfere with Alerts & gov warnings etc.

How much of a shock would it be to wake up & find the FBI combing through your stuff because a backdoor in your device made contact with a secure facility or data?

"Chinese Royal families"? They gave up all power in 1912. The descendants of the last imperial family (Aisin-Gioro) live as private citizens, they hold no political power, titles, or royal privileges.

Newsom just got done pretty much finishing off Republican House representation with his recent gerrymandering action. Out of the current 52 House reps from CA, Republicans will likely be lowered from 12 to just 4. My own district got changed to incorporate a big Democrat area far away and we are losing our thus far excellent rep KevinKiley. Most likely a Democrat like the detestable Trump hater Ami Bera will now win Kiiley's seat. It's sickening.

The CA multi-party jungle primary is in June, and there are something like 61 candidates for Governor, most of which are Dems or assorted oddball parties like Peace and Freedom, etc. The tiny bright light is that within the jungle is that two Republicans are leading and it's conceivable the top two candidates in the election could actually be Republicans. If so, the Dems' jungle primary technique will have backfired on them for once. The downside is that with a Republican governor, he could theoretically veto all the crazy Democrat bills coming out of the legislature. But then with their supermajority, the Dems could then override the veto. California is so so lost.

It seems that with the recent SCOTUS decision... reversing Newscum's gerrymandering would be a no-brainer... and I would think that several lawsuits would be filed for that action very soon...

CMCM's avatar

I haven't heard anyone say a thing about what Newsom did. And since it wasn't about race, I doubt if anyone will interfere. Newsom got away with it. He quite blatantly said it was to counter what was done in Texas. Tit for tat. And California's conservative voters lost even more representation.

DianeKay88's avatar

Great comment.

Also, please allow me to say, I'm glad today's posting mentions that our country's "system" is not a democracy; indeed, our country's system is a representative republic.

It's annoying to constantly read about how "our democracy is being threatened" and all the other BS that gets written relevant to our "country's democracy."

Let's call it what it truly is: A Constitutional and Representative Republic.

Like Thune! Thune said at a meeting the other day, he will not allow a vote on the save act, never mind do away with the filibuster. The ironic thing is if the dems take over the senate the first thing they will do is eliminate the filibuster and then make it impossible for the republicans to ever get back in power. Thune don’t care, he’ll still get his steaks smothered in lobsters, 1000 dollar bottles of wine, and all the expensive scotch you can drink.

SD Scott's avatar

Thune is a traitor!

Meanwhile, the DOJ has requested the states’ voter rolls. Any illegitimate voters on those rolls will not be mailed a ballot since the executive branch controls the post office.

Some states are suing to avoid turning over the rolls.

So the game is afoot!

Has it occurred to anyone else that even if 20-30 oil tankers a week successfully evade the US naval blockade, when they arrive at whatever port they eventually get to, that's just the BEGINING of their trauma because SERIOUS fights will break out as to who will get that tiny fraction of oil (compared to previous imports)?

If true: This means that it is possible that Trump is "soto voce" telling the navy to let a few tankers escape so that anarchy will erupt when they arrive at China and other ports.

I can't like this one Janice. I have had discussions with God on this one. I wish He would stop picking on dogs and pigs. Both are so affable and loving. And look at all dogs do for us; search and rescue, police dogs, dogs for the disabled, beloved pets, dogs that can sniff out cancer in people before clinical signs are noted. And piggies, how can God not smile when He sees the Wilburs of the world basking in the sun with a huge smiles on their faces and then taking a dip while frolicking in a mud bath. Heavy sigh.

You are lost in the wilderness. Who do you worship? The God I love and worship still loves the Jewish people, the apple of His eye, even though so many of them still reject Him who died for them. Yeshua (Jesus) came as a Jew, lived as a Jew, died as a Jew, and never renounced being Jewish. My God is Jewish. He will rescue His people yet, and He will rule and reign from Jerusalem, still a Jew. His promises to the Jewish people are still in effect. Those who bless Israel shall be blessed, those who curse Israel shall be cursed. You better do some studying and rethinking, for your own sake.

Exactly what the Word of God says. And Janice’s second scripture explains that these things as well as the scripture on not throwing pearls before swine are spiritual given. Asking God into your heart and He will open His Word up to you, by His Spirit.

John infinity N's's avatar

It’s a matter of who’s who. If Jesus was Jewish (meaning from the tribe of Judah) which I agree He was in that sense, he is actually King of Judah, then a king’s subjects would also be considered Jews as they would swear allegience to the King of Judah. Paul defines who is a Jew. Not one who is one outwardly, but who is one inwardly with circumcision of the heart. Do the people we call ‘Jews’ today match that description? See the parable in Matt21:38. They usurped His inheritance, unlawfully calling themselves Jews if they don’t acknowledge the true King of Judah. As far as reigning from the earthly Jerusalem, see Galatians 4. There are 2 Jerusalems (its actually plural in the Hebrew). The earthly Jerusalem is associated with Hagar the bondwoman and needs to be cast out. And Israel was the northern kingdom after Solomon that got deported to Assyria and lands beyond. The birthright name (Israel) stayed with the tribe of Joseph in the northern kingdom. They have not been reunited with Judah yet for Judah to lawfully be allowed to adopt that name (until Shiloh comes, see Genesis).

Shan's avatar

Do not give what is holy to dogs doesn’t degrade dogs in my mind. Dogs deserve benevolence and providence that is appropriate for their intelligence and nature. That includes love, affection, care and discipline for our beloved pets. It wouldn’t include things that are holy to God which would be far beyond their ability to comprehend and show reverence for. The same for swine. The literal example of tossing pearls in front of pigs creates images of pigs greedily gobbling up something beautiful with no ability to understand or appreciate what they just consumed. Toss them some yummy table scraps? Absolutely! Pearls of wisdom and beauty? Nooo.

Lori's avatar

LOL in your mind. Best left there. Every animal knows who God is. All you have to do is watch and interact with them and Nature to see that. And they are all Holy bc God made them and He is Holy. He saved them all on the Ark. If they were not important to Him, He would have not bothered.

And lol, as if many humans show reverence to God, really? Go ask the SRA demons about that or the violent Dems among many others.

I have a pig named Wilbur and he understands what is good and what is not. And he is quite capable of understanding what he consumes and why bc God made him that way and I have taught him. Animals are not stupid.

You describe man perfectly...The literal example of tossing pearls in front of humans creates images of humans greedily gobbling up something beautiful with no ability to understand or appreciate what they just consumed. Indeed. Thank you for that image: humans greedy at the feast and gobbling/destroying much of all they see and interact with.

JBell's avatar

FlatEarthFlyer's avatar

I think the reason God established dietary laws is because there is DNA in everything we eat, and our bodies assimilate that DNA. He only wants His imagers to eat the cleanest foods (fruits, vegetables and ruminants) so our bodies have the best chance of staying healthy. Pigs are known as opportunistic omnivores who will eat literally anything you give them, including dead rotting animal carcasses. And farming them in clean conditions with quality feed still doesn’t change the fact that, as a species, they have inherited the DNA of their ancestors, which our bodies assimilate when we eat them. Recent studies have found that DNA in food can migrate into our own DNA: https://www.nature.com/articles/cr2011158

Humans are opportunistic omnivores as well. When the famine hits, just watch what they eat. Piggies will not be an issue compared to that.

SM's avatar

Lori, it seems like you missed the point of what Jesus was saying.

Dogs were not domesticated pets in Jesus' day. They were wild animals roaming freely, eating decaying carcasses of both animals and humans (some of which died from horrifying diseases) and were predators. Pigs were considered unclean and unfit for consumption since they would eat rotting flesh too. Pigs carry parasites, worms, and other toxins that don't kill them, but harm humans.

When you understand the use of His metaphor, you realize it was perfectly executed for the time in which He spoke it. He was absolutely correct in saying they'd rip you to shreds.

God doesn't mince words. He skillfully paints a picture that communicates exactly what He intended.

Lori's avatar

I have not missed any point.

LOL, humans carry some of the most foul diseases and many that are communicable. We are full of parasites, toxins and worms as well.

Humans rip one another to shreds and in worse ways than any animals would.

Oh, and HIS people sacrificed infants on the altars of Baal and Moloch and drank their blood and ate their flesh so don't tell me about animals. We are the worst of the animal kingdom. Next.

While I absolutely believe the Word is alive and active and applicable to us today - if we only look at it through our Western, American lens, we truly miss half the intent.

I have found chat gpt to be a surprisingly excellent resource to help clarify. Here's a link to my request for "how did the original audience understand Matt 7:6" - it's enlightening (and accurate, from the studies I've been doing)

The original audience were not the sharpest or dedicated tools in the box. Just finished reading the OT and every other chapter is them betraying God, worshipping other gods, not listening to instructions by leaders like Moses and constantly complaining all the time. They don't impress me much. I don't know how God put up with them quite frankly. What hemorrhoids they were. Thank you for the link nonetheless.

LiveDreamRepeat's avatar

The exact same thing could be said of us today. The human heart is selfish and self centered. How often do we each still turn away from God, with our words or our thoughts? None of us measures up, none of us - not on our own. That's why we ALL need Jesus, every one of us.

And how did God put up with them? The same way He puts up with us. We are His children, and with all our flaws and failures, He loves us. And that's also why He sent Jesus, as the full redemption and payment for our sins and to pay the price that we could not.

Tonya's avatar

That's the honest way to look at the OT and compare it to ourselves today — with humility, knowing that we do the same thing as they did, just with different idols.

Sometimes when I read about the IRGC, I start to see the Democrat Party and the deep state come into focus. We read about them and at first it’s an ugly, grainy, static-filled picture of an evil terrorist regime who kill their own people to keep them in line. Then it comes into focus and lines up neatly with the corrupt in our own government. I mean this sounds exactly like the democrats: “…is a parasitic mega-corporation that has co-opted the elected government of Iran, and uses the apparatus of state to suck blood and treasure out of the Iranian people, all to enrich a secretive class of demented hypocrites who cosplay … but are really violent mobsters with missiles and an army….a kleptocracy.”

No wonder they try to make everyone see Trump that way. The picture of them is coming too much into focus.

I thought it didn't sound much different than what our own government has done for years with their CIA backed color revolutions. They may or may not have secret bank accounts and villas in the UK and France, but they certainly have co-opted the elected government of the United States, and used the apparatus of state to suck blood and treasure out of the American people, all to enrich a secretive class of demented hypocrites who cosplay as political leaders and bureaucrats but are really violent mobsters using our missiles and armies.

I agree 100%. I saved the language so I could come ask the same. I'm unlike a few of the other commenters though... I don't think this is specific to democrats. I feel like it is specific to all branches. The IRS in particular that is supposedly taxing us to fund our government. It takes me as a small business owner a minimum of a full 40 hours to maintain and organize my tax records every year. No one calculates that part of the tax. My time. Or paying for someone else to do it for me. That isn't a red or blue thing. That is part of the regulatory capture. The police are still corrupt, exercising authority when it suits them and divesting it when it doesn't. I'm glad for the improvements over the past little bit, but most are temporary and based solely on executive order, so can be undone quickly when the next person to. That isn't a republic. It's worrisome.

Sadly, Jeff is spouting BS... again.

OK, he is a full-blown supporter of zionism and greater Israel... cool, he should admit it.

This includes apparent support of Israel's genocide (slaughter of innocents) in Gaza and Lebanon, their current unprovoked war on Iran, the "Greater Israel" project... etc...

And if you want a PROVEN example of government parasitism... start with the $3 TRILLION that went missing from the DOD under Rumsfeld, right before the records were destroyed in Israel's 911 attacks.

Then examine the FED.

The accusations he spouts against Iran are propaganda and totally unproven as to intent of funds usage.

MLK dreamed of a country where people are judged NOT by the color of their skin. Drawing congressional districts by the color of voters' skin is the OPPOSITE of that dream. The Supreme Court got it right. The fact is, we marched for liberty and fairness. MLK did NOT march for segregation

If you think about it they were disenfranchising black voters way more than protecting them. What happens to all the black votes in those other legitimate districts that would have wanted representation from that district’s candidate but were trapped inside a “blacks only” district with a candidate that doesn’t speak for them? It robs them of their voice. Just because they are black does not mean they all share the same beliefs/values/politics. That treats them like collective animals without independent thought.

Apr 30Edited

California is about as gerrymandered as a state can be. It is not in the least by influenced race, but rather, by Democrat voter presence no matter what the race. They just drew new lines to overwhelm Republican presence in certain red areas.

I've noticed how everyone in the press and also Republicans in the press all seem to ignore Calirornia, probably because they have just written it off. It belongs to the Democrats top to bottom. Even before national elections, everyone knows how it will go and that CA electors, for example, will always be Democrat. You barely even need to count the votes it's so saturated with Dems. BUT....it's instructional to look at how things have ended up in CA while nobody was looking, because that is what the Dems want to achieve in every single state if possible. So pay attention.

Also, as commentators discuss current gas prices, they virtually NEVER highlight California's ridiculous gas prices, which are a couple of dollars more per gallon than anywhere else. What on earth don't they hammer this fact home to the whole country? They give "average" gas prices around the country, but omit Newsom's California prices. The prices here are due to a variety of crazy environmental policies implemented by Dems and crazy environmental lunatics in this state. But if they get more and more control in other states, guess what will happen to YOUR gas prices?

Torrance Stephens's avatar

Don't know about that, but I agree with you if that makes sense.

Out of 21 Congressional seats representing the 6 states of New England, there are NO Republican Representatives, although 40% of the electorate are registered Republicans, 48% in New Hampshire alone.

Arnold C Fossen's avatar

California's Demonic Party may pay for their gerrymander. The problem with the new lines is that the new districts voters draw closer to 50/50. Any surprise, such as extremely high gas prices in CA, could cause a swing against the gerrymander.

Yes, political-ideological Districting may be even worse with the rise of Violence-prone Entitlement-Progressivism emanating from Commie-run Public Schools and Socialist Media platforms. Gentrification of minority enclaves (ghettos) by educated white folks with money is also heavily swaying the delineations of Districting as has Immigrant Invasion and resettlement planning. This SCOTUS ruling will not be a cure to this problem! Also Republicans as a party and as voters lean heavily to govt services and public-private programs as well so the problem grows in scope over time and area to swallow up the entire nation.

And when they go too far in their extremism (either type), they often flip into evil. Jung gave this the name of Enantiodromia.

You see this in 2026 with the far-leftwing WOKE/Democrats flipping into acceptance of political violence. We saw this on the far-rightwing in 1692 in Salem, when the Puritans considered themselves so righteous and godly, they flipped into Witch Hunts.

Both versions are forms of condoning violence in the name of their own narrowly-defined "righteousness".

There is a very interesting book out there by Juliet Butler entitled "The Less You Know the Sounder You Sleep". About conjoined twin sisters born in the 50s under the Soviet regime. And badly used.

It is an illustration of how separation from one's mother in the early years, as well as abuse or neglect, often leads to Attachment Disorders. Which in turn can lead to Cluster-B Personality Disorders.

This story also illustrates how the two opposing extremes need to be integrated at the mid-point. Life will strive for that outcome.

A.'s avatar
Apr 30Edited

You might think of it this way, There is a linear psychological spectrum, with homeostasis as the mid-point. All healthy life seeks homeostasis on many levels.

To one side of the mid-point, at the extreme, is Too-Good-ism, or hyper-Superego, which does not allow homeostasis.

To the other side of the mid-point, at the extreme, is the Id, or all of the animal-based desires and tribalist instincts. The ancient reptile brain. Little empathy or conscience. Does not allow homeostasis.

At the midpoint (Golden Mean, Balance-point) is the sense of personal SELF. Which is vital. Loss or lack of SELF promotes either hyper-ID behaviour, or hyper-Superego behaviour, both of which are ultimately destructive because they operate without SELF.

The far polar end of Id will attract the far polar end of Superego, as in predator to prey. Living in these extreme ranges is known as Splitting. And it is not good for anyone. Though the persons on the extremes believe that the more they cleave to their behaviours, the better they are. Thus shooting themselves in the foot. Instead, they need to move towards the mid-point.

A.'s avatar

I know and admire Bruce Pardy, Professor of Law at Queen's University.

A.'s avatar

The idea is that healthy life seeks Homeostasis. Balance. The Golden Mean. Not far-leftwing WOKE-ism or far-rightwing religious extremism.

Though both sides think they are "good". And they cannot understand why "more good" (as per their own definitions) is not the way to go.

Virtue is found in Homeostasis, not in extremes.

"Both flawed concepts were exposed in Barack Obama’s awful take."

There's a terrific takedown of Obama's awful take in TwiX. It expands upon similar points Jeff made. I'll reprint it below, but it's fairly long, so first I'll give you the link:

https://x.com/theobjectivist/status/2049583968677458190?s=20

"Everyone should unequivocally condemn the government-imposed racial discrimination Obama is pushing!

Obama makes three errors in one post, all of them philosophical.

First, the United States is a constitutional republic, not a democracy. The purpose of the Constitution is to protect individual rights from the majority, not to ensure "equal participation in our democracy." The Founders designed the system specifically to prevent what Obama is demanding: unlimited majority rule.

Second, "protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach" sounds correct until you examine the premise. Rights belong to individuals, not groups. The moment you define rights by racial group membership, you have adopted the same collectivist framework that produced the discrimination you claim to oppose. Jim Crow categorized people by race and assigned rights accordingly. Modern voting rights activism does the same thing with different beneficiaries. Both are collectivism.

Third, gerrymandering is a problem created entirely by the system Obama wants to preserve: a political structure where the drawing of district lines determines outcomes. His solution is not to fix the structure. It is to ensure his side draws the lines.

The government must treat every citizen equally before the law. Everyone should reject Obama's framing entirely. He is not defending individual rights.

He is defending group power, while using the language of rights to make collectivism sound like liberty."

You should wait till late in the day to comment "FIRST!!" from now on, just for fun.

If anyone asks, refer to something unrelated. "Oh, I just saw a hamster house made of hot dogs."

Do it daily and get crazier and more creative.

The hamster house comment made me laugh out loud!🤣

Let's all beat Janice at her own book-flogging and virtue-signaling game! It would be a delight to see her face when she realizes we are on to her.

Well, Linda -- I am suspicious of Janice and her ploys. She is selling a self-published book, and she uses the Substack PR tactic of rushing to the top of the site every day to place her advertisement first.

It also makes her appear very virtuous to play the Scripture-lady. Even though her only action is to cut and paste from any of the many scripture websites. Nothing actually virtuous about that. But if you don't think about this, you are likely to fall for it. Then her fellow cult members rush in immediately to upvote it many times, so that it remains at the top.

Chicanery under cover of "Christianity" is a very old and well-used ruse.

I have seen a lot of fraud in my time, and I know how the human unconscious responds to particular coded behaviours. I tend to recognize them where I see them.

I suggest the Robert Cialdini books for general readers: "Influence" and "Pre-Suasion" to get a better idea of how the tricks of the trade operate through particular patterns used in the human mind. It's Evolutionary Psychology.

No one suspected Bernie Madoff or Elizabeth Holmes either, until it was too late. Though with Elizabeth Holmes, I was saying to myself....."How could intelligent business people fall for THAT!?" But I know that they do, all the time.

You add in inauthentic holy-roller-ism to bamboozle people further, and the foundation is laid.

Anyone interested in religious fraud might watch the 1972 documentary film called "Marjoe".

Won an Academy Award. "You Keep the faith....Marjoe Keeps the Money". About Marjoe Gortner, who had been a child Evangelist of the tent-circuit shows for years, and then broke into his adult schtick later as Evangelism's answer to Mick Jagger.

He reminded me of Justin Troodo in his phony magnetism, and how it can attract the vulnerable sorts.

I never see Janice advertising or suggesting any books, just posting scripture. But you are advertising and suggesting books by Robert Cialdini.

Do your homework, John. Janice Powell's profile is about her book. From which SHE profits, of course.

Don't you understand the difference between suggesting a book title, and profiting on a book you are selling yourself? Do you actually think I profit in any way from suggesting the titles here of books written by others? I am doing readers a favour, actually.

Sheesh! Go back to square one. That was a dumb comment.

Great. I hope you find the correct button. Because I will block you first if you don't.

I don't wish to hear from your sort. It will be refreshing if you are gone.

Janice is a religious zealot.

The sort that burned "witches" and passed out Kool-aid to their followers.

She should stick to Substacks that are religion (mythology) based.

I think many of us would be relieved if she did.

Just as Trump laid out in his National Security Strategy which he published 3 months AFTER the summit with Putin in Alaska, he is pulling the empire back to a hemispheric defense by establishing control of the world's chokepoints (such as the Straits of Hormuz, Malacca & Gibraltar) and withdrawing from NATO.

.........................................................

Trump Begins Consolidation of US MIL in Western Hemisphere

Trump JUST spoke to Putin and said things were positive, and now Trump announces they are looking into reducing our standing army in Germany.

Just as I hypothesized, Trump is reducing our military footprint in the Eastern Hemisphere, which will lead to normalized relations with Russia and China, and the end to the war in Ukraine....

I have to add, I grew up in the 50s and 60s. And it still sounds so strange to me to talk about "the empire" and no one bats an eyelash. I started using the term empire to describe the USG in the 70s and people would look at me like I was from Mars. That's how effective Gov't controlled education is at keeping the people brainwashed.

The Empire- I think of Star Wars!

I think Gary Allen's book in the 70s was a take-off of Carroll Quigley's books in the 40s-60s about the British Network.

But the Network needn't have worried, because very few were paying attention.

I don't comprehend how trying to control the waters on the other side of the Earth is Trump pulling the US back to our hemisphere. I support getting out of NATO, of course. We should have done that in 1991.

I also don't get how "We meant well" is not a good excuse for the SPLC stealing money from donors, but it's an excellent excuse for the US stealing money from Iran. Maybe that's what happens when you put a Soros employee in charge of the US Treasury.

Firstly, controlling the various straits prevents China from doing us harm. It was brilliant. Secondly, we are not stealing money from Iran; we are holding money stolen from the people of Iran for the people of Iran. Don't be a doomer.

Truth Counts's avatar

Hogwash.

What harm is China being prevented from doing to us?

The stealing of Iran's assets is plain theft, only an ignorant zionist-supporting moron would doubt it. Jeff has zero proof of his absurd allegations.

How about the brazen theft of Russia's reserves? OR our support and funding of Israel's massive land thefts in Gaza and Syria?

Politico Phil's avatar

All wars are about 1) trade routes/resources and/or 2) ideology. The US Empire has bases garrisoned with troops in almost every country. This worked for a few decades after the fall of the Soviet Union as we were the only super power on the planet. This is no longer the case and, besides, we can no longer afford to pay for this. The geo-strategic landscape is now a trifecta of a multi-polar world made up of the US, Russia and China.

So as stated in Trump's National Security Strategy (it's a short read), the US empire will "withdraw" to a hemispheric defense rather than a policy of occupation and confrontation across the globe. To secure the resources required for the US empire, Trump is positioning to control all the world's major trading route choke points while withdrawing our military footprint in other countries. He has already secured agreements with Morocco which is on the south of the Strait of Gibraltar and with Indonesia which sits on the Strait of Malacca through which most of China's needed resources are shipped through thus giving the US leverage with China. The Strait of Hormuz is obviously part of the current conflict there. The Iran War is definitely a Zionist war but it is also being used by Trump to establish control of the strait. Other choke points will also be secured especially the Panama Canal, the Suez Canal (think Gaza), the Danish Straits, the Turkish Straits, etc.

Controlling the trade routes secures the resources for the US empire without having to occupy garrisons in foreign lands. Trump's NSS is essentially an agreement between the US, Russia and China that each will respect each others sphere of influence. This will allow a normalization of relations between the three super powers. For the US this means north and south America, Greenland and eventually the Danish Straits (Iceland and Denmark). The first piece in this chessboard was the move on Venezuela which ejected China's influence in that country. The Panama Canal will soon follow as this was originally our canal to begin with and is a major trade route. China's inroads into Latin America (think Cuba) are going to be progressively pushed out. Trump and Putin have already talked about constructing a tunnel across the Bering Strait which would facilitate the development of the resources in the Arctic which would be hugely beneficial to both countries. This kind of normalization is a good thing.

See what you think of this. It's a long read, but she makes a compelling argument, imo.

I haven't studied this argument in detail but it would appear that Iran fits this model where the country in question "possesses the socio-political organization to resist the hollowing-out process." Persia has always been a powerful culture and people and I have repeatedly warned not to underestimate them. Furthermore, their geography makes a land war impossible to win... even for the US.

Watch how many democrats “suddenly” become republicans so they can try to hold onto their seats.

We really have to do our homework from now on and expose those RINOs as they emerge. Loudly and harshly

We already have enough RINOs doing damage.

Old Space Cadet's avatar

I agree. I do wonder though, if the redistricting will eliminate some RINOs too. Wouldn’t that be wonderful!

Barbls's avatar

It won't. But the Internet is forever. Local Republicans must actively research candidate backgrounds, and maybe even improve their state bylaws to prevent random people from claiming the GOP moniker.
