If you recall, James O’Keefe had the video of the CNN clowns saying (after the stolen election) “ok, now it’s time to turn to climate change”. The average person is just too dumb or indifferent to see what’s really going on. I have a vision of starving and homeless emaciated dems standing in lines...not for food or shelter, but to cast their vote for the next democratic candidate. They still think they are better off now than under Trump.
Yup. I read an insider document several years before the pandemic that said they wanted vaccine passports
And I naively thought- that’s crazy. How would that ever come to be?
Well now we know.
They always have a plan to get where and what they want.
Normal people can’t even imagine the evil and power that’s behind all of it.
I love Maui. Wanted to retire there. That fire was not natural. No way. Too hot, too fast, too many ‘coincidences’ and anomalies!
They wanna say those winds were caused by hurricane Dora 500 miles away… okay… where’s the rain that comes with a typical hurricane then??? And if there was a hurricane nearby… why are there videos of people in the water of Lahaina harbor and the water is calm … if the hurricane winds were coming off the water…. The surf would be way up… and Lahaina harbor was calm… the winds were coming over the west Maui mountains… which doesn’t add up with what the media is saying.
Not to mention- how does a fire burn the inside of a tree black and leave the bark unburned… or melt metal and leave wood and plastics unburned … or burn wood around metal bolts- and the wood unburned- and teeth incinerated… no remains are being found … if it was a normal brush fire which burns around 1400-1500 degrees… they’d be finding teeth/remains … and there aren’t any- because the fire had to be 2200-2400 degrees to melt metal and glass … and incinerate people’s teeth
It’s not right
And the CA and Canadian fires were not right either- but they got away with those… so they moved on to Maui next.
People need to wake up and realize these fires are climate terrorism and intentional
There are wind sensors all around Maui. Did they record high winds, and from what direction? There are lots of military assets all over Hawaii, they could not provide any support? There is an observatory and Airforce installation high atop a mountain on Maui with a clear view of most of the island. They can ping the Moon with a laser from there. They could not monitor the fires and provide assistance? They also conduct experiments with DEW at that facility. Coincidence?
There are videos of DEW flashes hitting Maui. I wondered where they were coming from. That’s a huge clue and should be investigated starting with all the personnel on that base.
We knew the Canadian wildfires were not right either, but when the weather app constantly reminds you of “smoke” in the air everyday and the only news you get is how many acres are burning, you either accept it or know you are being lied to on a global scale. People just quit listening and talking about it.
You know, you're exactly right. We were on the big island when it happened and we tried to go visit a couple of historic sites but turned back because the car was getting blown around the road. And when we got out the sand from the beach was stinging our legs, and the wind was so strong that it physically knocked us down. But you're right - there weren't waves with this one. The sea was not churned up - normally the ocean is just wild and all the silt and garbage gets churned up and it stinks for a while. The water there was crystal clear and not moving much. I live in Charleston and we've had a few hurricanes come through and they did not feel like this. And I can tell you, when the hurricane is still 500 miles away down in FL, we feel nothing yet. It's not until it gets much, much closer that we start feeling wind. But we do get rain quicker. So I have told people this hurricane thing was nothing like I've ever felt. The whole thing was so odd.
Dr Robert Malone's interview with two Maui locals in which they explained whether the hurricane could affect Maui-- they said The hurricane would have to be within about 150 miles to have effect on Maui. As It was,hurricane was 500 plus miles away and couldn't have affected.
At the time, I was 500 miles from Hurricane Hilary. Glad about that for a variety of reasons. Anyway, all I got was sprinkles....no wind. NO WAY 50-70 mile an hour winds would hit 500 miles away. That would mean the winds close to the eye of the hurricane would have obliterated the area from the planet!!!!
It’s going to be the anecdotal stories and the people on the ground that need to be listened to… not the local politicians or news media…. If we’re ever going to learn the truth about what happened there and killed so many unsuspecting people.
I wish I had paid more attention to the CA fires. They are the exact same kind of ‘fires’ - forests standing and homes ‘dustified’…
Patty Hall of the healthy American is following all of this …
GWP has a story today about a man in Norway being sent to a mental hospital, they also are re-educating Jordan Peterson for his view on trans issues. They have no qualms who they will come after if you do not tow their line. It is scary, and it is global.
Yes that was very disturbing 😕 A little while back, Corbett Report had a great series posts on how governments have used mental illness to persecute and sideline their critics. It’s also very disturbing.
They will keep doing it because the American people let them get away with it and don’t fight back. Those of us who are awake will NEVER comply . Our job is to share the TRUTH far & wide .
I LOVE "ready, steady, sweaty Ted" and his machismo comments on the state of our upside-down world (thanks to WE THE PEOPLE falling asleep to the sneaky socialists' agenda to take down our country from within). YOU GO, TED--PREACH IT LOUD AND CLEAR!
I put it down to all the "stuff" he used when he was a rocker. But his HEART is in the right place--he LOVES the U.S.A. I've traveled abroad (a bit) and I can tell you, after returning home to PA...I breathed a SIGH of relief and a prayer of gratitude.
Ted Nugent never did any "stuff". In fact, he was vehemently opposed to drugs and alcohol use. Sad you would make such a slanderous statement, when you obviously know nothing about the man.
And Ted Nugent will continue to endorse police officers shooting unarmed fleeing suspects in the back instead of chasing them. Police officers shouldn't be allowed to be in Chris Christie's condition, but many of them are too fat to chase a suspect.
Biased view. Those fleeing and being shot shouldn't be where they shouldn't be doing what they shouldn't be doing and usually the police are returning fire after being fired upon. As in EVERY field there are bad actors however if you need help the police are the ones you call..and you don't interview them on their past history. You just want them to save YOU. IF the "justice" system was working correctly and giving consequences for the crime, and morals were taught at home, school and church, maybe just maybe, we wouldn't have the situation we are in. Our country has left the path of obeying LORD GOD and gone down the path of worshipping Satan. We each and every one need to change our ways and put LORD GOD first where HE belongs..repent of our sins as well as our ancestors sins and become humble before HIM
It was police who barricaded the streets in Hawaii and won't answer residents' questions. It was police who invited folks into the Capitol on January 6. It is police who stand by while terrorists burn this country down. It is police who arrest peaceful protesters who show up to say they don't like what's being done to them. It is police who remove parents from school board meetings for reading books like "Flamer" to the school board; it's okay for the kids to read those books, but it's offensive to read them to adults?
You can't trust the police.
You can't trust anyone in power. They have proven they're not to be trusted. Your safety is no one's responsibility but your own and the sooner you and everyone else wake up to that fact, the better chance you have of surviving what they have in store for us.
Ha! So anyone doing anything criminal under 'the don't shoot 'em in the back' rule would only have to turn their backs to the police an walk away. This is as brilliant as defunding the police. And also, saves the public the expense of a court judge dismissing cases of criminals caught in the act and charged.
Shooting is not a civilized way to deal with crime. We have a law in this country that states we are to be treated as innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. Cops have many options for arresting suspects, shooting them is only justified if they or others are in imminent danger.
Did it never occur to you that some people may run from cops because they have witnessed firsthand how corrupt they are? If your family member has been brutalized and/ or murdered by them, might you not also run rather than submit to the same? They plant evidence on innocent people, manipulate them into confessing to crimes they didn’t commit, they rape, rob and murder. Stop believing the TV about the nature and purpose of the police. It is not to protect the people. They exist to protect the elites and the state from the people.
V is a well know AI programmed evil bot. 😈 I would suggest that SBF may be programing the bot computer but reportedly he is without his. And that would be giving the gov propped puppet too much intelligence acumen.
My ad hominem detector is stuck at the top peg, so I'm going to ignore your so I don't have to unpeg it every time I click on a post from you.
Maybe you've seen a movie about the Third Reich where a man presents his "papers, please," and when agent says they are expired, runs away and is shot in the back by the agent. This scene replays in my mind every time I hear the name Ted Nugent. I'm tired of the replay and the ad hominem you attached to it.
Does the January 6th Psyops “replay in your mind” knowing the entire event was conceived and executed by real “Fascists” — in our own Government? Does the Planned-Emic “replay in your mind” knowing full well it was another Government “Psyop,” or do these two legitimate examples of Fascism jump way-way-way over your head?
Ah, so a moooovie is what makes you "think" such, Vonu...well,you are apparently heavily influenced by film propaganda. This does not make your thinking very critical. Yeah, a bot for sure.
That was extremely lame. I'm sure you can do better. Get out your dictionary and look up the definition and get back with us when you have a clearer understanding. Cat Scratch Fever.......
The same ones that Democratic presidents did, unless you can refute the premise. All governments have always forced me into doing things I didn't agree with.
The govt wants to "get you in a stranglehold baby - gonna crush your face".....ahhh, enjoyed a live show many moons ago featuring the poet, aka The Nuge.
Saw him perform in 2022 at the Thunderbeach motorcycle rally in PCB, it was freaking awesome. I never thought I'd see him perform live, and hear him do Stranglehold, and he was just as badass as he ever was. Kid Rock too. It was the most Patriotic American event I've ever been to. The crowd, WOW, even they were amazing.
Never saw him live. However, speaking as a rocker who came of age in the the 1970s, for my money one of the best live hard rock anthems of all time would be his version of "Great White Buffalo" found on 1978's "Double Live Gonzo" LP. Accept no substitutes. Ideally, played at volumes that melt the wax in one's ears.
In his youth, long, long ago, back in the Triassic, my friend crawled into Ted Nugent's speakers at concert, which gave him tinnitus. Now he has hearing aids, and despite being Progressive bought a gun as Detroit's last police chief's advice around rising crime was "pack". He doesn't regret the rock 'n roll though lol
Ditto. I’ve been doing a lot “ditto” lately in comments. One because there’s no point being repetitive and two I can’t get him out of my head lately. Earlier today I got out of an appointment just before noon, looked at my watch and reached for the radio dial. Ooops.
Ok..after giving to Ray Smith....and seeing more and more news today about the scamdemic 2.0...here is me slowing turning up my 70's rock until it blocks out the dred. 🎧📼
As we gear up for the flim-flam-demic 2.0 it is important to reflect on how much of a farcical fraud 1.0 was. SARS-CoV2 was and is dangerous to almost no one - and they knew it nearly from the the start:
In September 2020, this was the CDC's best estimate for the COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate:
Rate by Age Group:
0-19 years old: 0.00003
20-49 years old: 0.0002
50-69 years old: 0.005
70+ years old: 0.054
Meaning all of this carnage was based on a deliberate lie:
The masks ● the social distancing ● the lockdowns ● the economic and farming destruction ● the mental and physical health destruction ● the arrested development of millions of children ● the myriad of preventable suicides ● the bevy of new, rushed, barely tested, deadly vaccines
"You're not supposed to know that all of your global "leaders" are working diligently to rapidly deteriorate your economy, society, security, and family because you'd be far less likely to go along with this charade if you knew you were just a gladiator in the Coliseum."
And yet - if you pointed out those numbers, from the CDC's own page, you were accused of wanting grandma to die. I remember trying to show people the facts early on and they just had no interest but wanted to trust in masks and arrows and social distancing and wait eagerly for the promised shots to save them. :(
They know what they are doing with all the devices people own , including the IPhones. Don’t think all the weed stores in every other corner is helping .
My relatives bought a ‘smart’ tv and as soon as you turn it on the channel that initiates on default is CNN. I don’t want any ‘smart’ appliances. It’s bad enough to have a smart phone.
I heard a report that said a man had Amazon alarm/ home monitoring system in his home. A delivery person reported that he heard a racist remark coming from this man’s camera speaker. Amazon went ahead and locked the guy out of his house. It took him a week to clear things up as he wasn’t even home at the time the delivery person made his complaint) and to have his home unlocked by Amazon. These are strange times.
No...but I like your "take" on his comment--LOL! Minow was the head of the FCC at the time and he was trying to make a point that television programming was pretty useless as far as "edifying" the watchers of it!
Yeah - they "trust the experts". Sadly, even one of my relatively smart co-workers just turned over that thinking/questioning part of his brain because of the titles. I can't even think how many have bought the "wearing a mask traps the virus" argument, though at least some are now switching to "well, ya gotta wear an N95 masK" while completely ignoring fittings or ... that they don't work. (and of course, the N95 masks on people with full beards or that are just mangled to sorta fit the face with gaps everywhere - it's gotta work because it's an N95.... _sigh_ )
I tried in vain to explain to a friend that even an N95 mask wasn't going to keep her from getting sick. She said--and I think THIS is the crucial point--"I feel better wearing it." I gave up trying to explain about how N95 masks need to be fitted and you can't just wear them indefinitely. She wasn't convinced and told me sometimes she wears her mask at the gym. Forget science, let's go with "feelings."
Gotta love that sort of argument. By all means, if you feel better doing something, that's cool - just don't pretend that it's going to do anything other than assuage your feelings. :(
It should have, except the _editors_ of the journal put on the standard disclaimers to try to neuter the findings. I saw that there's an interview w/ one of the researchers who said flat out "masks don't work" in relation to viruses, but the interview is behind a paywall. :(
They also believed helping others, and being good citizens for the greater good to save the country, which they were told and convinced they were/are doing. All good things, but these values were hijacked heavily fueled with constant fear, a potent cocktail which caused and continues to cause serious harm.
Manipulation of good intentions became virtue signaling and virtual vigilante mobs guilty of (virtually) lynching people or at least taking away their livelihoods.
People were divided into two camps like Moses’ group and Pharaoh’s group. Each believed they were in Moses’ camp. Many virtue signalers still believe and follow their “science” Moseses or Messiahs.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
They teed it up in 2020 for the election to cheat w/ fear porn, distancing, limited #s of people in spaces, mail in ballots, ballot harvesting, etc & they’re teeing it up again for 2024
Wow, I didn't know they actually posted the numbers that early in their scamdemic. That's just trolling.
I've come to think of all of this (covid, MMT, climate nonsense, trans/gay insanity, etc.) as a controlled demolition of the US. The biggest threat to the globalists' goals (sorry, Jeff, but the Republicans are globalists as well and 100% in on this) is a free, prosperous, armed American citizenry backed by the founding documents of this country. One can't help but notice those are the exact things the DNC and the GOP consistently attack, albeit in their own specific ways.
The CDC admitted in May of 2020 that the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) was 0.3% which is similar to the Asian flu of the late 50's and Hong Kong flu of the late 60's. Nothing done since was done for medical reasons as that IFR doesn't justify any intervention.
And 0.3% is still about 10x higher than actual. Even without removing all the illegitimate "covid" deaths from total (the deaths that were with covid not from, deaths 30 days after covid, deaths due to vax that were coded as "covid," and so on), I think the current best estimate is 0.03%. Remove the false positives and that would be cut in half or so.
The funny part is, the data out of Italy in late 2019 showed the same. It was basically the flu. But, like so many others, I initially doubted myself. I thought, well, I must be missing something. They must have info I don't. LOL.
They did have info I didn't: they are tyrannical sociopaths and they seem to know it and revel in it.
And let's not forget the fact that many deaths between the first jab and two weeks after the second jab were charged as covid deaths of the unvaccinated.
The "experts" intentionally polluted the data.
Those who know the difference between a numerator and a denominator in the risk / benefit analysis were mocked for "doing their own research."
I think Jeff did a thorough job of explaining both sides, pro Trump/ pro DeSantis points of view.
Personally, My gut tells me that Trump is going to be embroiled in these legal battles for a very long time. It’s disgusting and wrong full stop.
It’s only for the fact that our country is going down in literal flames and we need a leader ASAP to harness the madness and put an end (if possible) to the blatant corruption in our government agencies. I want the prospective President to be able to take care of the business at hand unencumbered by the seemingly endless and evil political persecution that is happening to Trump.
One fact mostly all true conservatives and sane people in general can agree on is that It’s awful to watch this happen in America. 😔
1) it won’t matter who the GOP nominee is, the full force of the political war machine will be 100% aimed at that person.
2) from the time Trump walked down the escalator, the full force of the political war machine was aimed at him, including literal surveillance by actors working on behalf of the opposing campaign. Once in office, obstacle after obstacle: Russia! Russia! Russia! & the Mueller/Weissman investigation; Impeachment #1 - about which is the very scandal that Bob Peters, I mean Biden, is embroiled in, finally coming to light; Impeachment #2; and so on - many events that were intended to undermine his presidency. His military leaders lying about troops in Syria! His attorney general concealing the laptop from hell and lying about election issues! It was a coup in slow motion. Nevertheless, no new wars; drawdowns in military conflicts; prosperity; protection from invasion at the southern border. Attention and resources to combat human trafficking. Energy independence and at less cost than before or since. These are big wins. All while under attack. He is not superman, but I see no one else who has the stamina and clear thinking (never any drugs or alcohol) to deal with so much incoming and still get things done.
Trolling is soooo on target. They rubbed anyone who was paying attention's nose in it. And then they just kept pushing and rubbing and now they're trying to do it all over again.
Agree. Just remember to not feed the trolls. When they come out with a response telling you are wrong, like you are not allowed to have your own opinion. Ignore them. Bless their hearts. 😄😉
It's why I said long ago, 6 January should have been an armed protest. As in 30 or 40 thousand armed pissed of patriots that knew they cheated, representing at least 200 million Americans. Yeah that may have hot their attention. This upcoming election, it will be the cheaters against the patriots.
I hate the whole “killing grandma” jab excuse. Some grandmas are made of steel.. they had to be in order to make a life and not be offended by a dirty diaper.
In my area these same people accusing you of killing grandma abandoned theirs in the nursing homes. I know the lockdowns were awful but they didn't even try one bit.
I’m a seasoned grandma who never isolated from our grands. They weren’t & aren’t granny killers. I do know a sweet youngun who was guilted into shots by her sister pushing the “so you’d be okay going to see __________ (grand names); exposing them & them dying?”
Me too! Never stayed away from grandkids the whole time and lived to tell about it. I did however feel like a felon on the highways with maybe 2 other cars in over an hours drive and constant signs saying STAY HOME. Gave me great anxiety and I Really don’t want to do it again!! 😭
That was targeting children’s psyches so schools would be closed.
It was heinous to do that to kids.
The PTSD inflicted on children who thought they would kill their grandparents or parents if they went to school or played sports is permanent. Depression and nihilism of 5-21 year olds.
Yes and let THEM decide what risks they wanted to take. Some people prefer to actually LIVE rather than cower in their homes for months or years because they *might* catch an illness. Don’t make children, especially, sacrifice their health and well-being for their elders.
And it's still a secret that washing your hands, not touching your face is good practice. But, what overcomes all the rates is Vitamin D3 5000iu and Vitamin C 3000mg minimums, and if you'refeeling poorly jack up the dose, add zinc - it, will overcome comorbidities. Especially, the elderly, who are trapped in assisted living or nursing homes - never outdoors and weaker by the day. Forget the Fuu-Dee-Assine recommended values. They are useless.
Many don't do supplements because the cost isn't something they want to lay out, and many just can't afford the vitamins. It's a shame. And doctors know nothing about supplements but what Webmd tells them.
TriTorch, I was with you up to the gladiator in the Coliseum. Nothing as grand as that. How about a mouse in the testing lab? That’s much closer to the status of the average human.
TriTorch--Thank you for the IFR. By any chance do you have that poll/survey where democrats and republicans were surveyed as to their perceived risk of dying if infected with SARS-CoV-2? As I recall, democrats thought their risk of dying was 50% and republicans were half that? Do you remember this survey?
Democrats were further off than Republicans and more likely to overstate the risks to young people, even after accounting for age, race, gender, geographic, and educational differences.
Thank you, I saw some charts on Peak Prosperity, but couldn't find them. That's the problem with not having a good file system other than my memory. I live in Southern Oregon and misinformation is still governing behavior and thoughts dramatically noticeable in the D's.
Do you recall if Jeff covered this topic when that survey was published?
Unfortunately no, it was from December of 2020 and there has been a lot of water under the bridge since then.
Here is a massive library of COVID and other information which you can search with ctrl+F for keywords if you are interested: https://tritorch.com/degradation
The library badly needs organization, but the job is just too big to tackle at this point.
That's quite a library. I bet there is a similar library on the Biden Crime Family that if it were just properly organized Merit Garland could bring criminal charges.
Can someone who understands policy explain to me why there were roadblocks up in the first place keeping people in? Why would they not be trying to get everyone evacuated? This breaks my heart into a million pieces. I can imagine the fight between my husband and me and on this one...he's a rule follower and he would've wanted to follow orders, but ultimately after a lot of argument I would've won and we would've driven over whatever had to in order to escape. These poor people. It makes me so sad to think of them just doing what they were told and turning around and dying like that. What monsters that did this.
3) Build a 15-minute city owned and operated by the Democrat government of Hawaii, rent cubicles to the displaced plebes, and "save" the rest of the island for the private use of Bezos, Winfrey, Zuckie, and the rest of the billionaires.
I fear you are exactly right. Still the cruelty of turning people around and sending them back into a ball of fire....it takes me breath away. I can't imagine who could ever do such a thing. Orders or not.
Makes you wonder why when they could see it was death or disobeying….why anyone would’ve chosen to obey. Unfortunately the choice was clear. Same psyop as the jabs. Do what we say or you’ll die. Only it is actually do what was say so you will die. They are murderous evil criminals. I would’ve ran them over getting out. The brainwashing is real. 😞
Hawaii was very gestapo in their covid response, so it doesn't surprise me that with the fire, so many people complied with orders so visibly life threatening. Just total misplaced trust in government officials, yet again. The critical thinkers, the questioners drove through the roadblocks. And they saved their own lives by doing so.
Yes! It is very disheartening to see how many STILL complied to the govt blocking roads when they could see by staying they would most likely die. Good description of those who drove through the roadblocks. 👍🏻
they're remorseless, like killing ants to them; they'll sic the Natl Guard or Seals on you if they want to show effect. Has the DeepState Media debunked the "barricading" Big Lie yet?? Certainly it's a conspiracy theory foisted on us by anti-government kooks right?
It is...you hate to keep drawing everything back to Nazi Germany, but it reminds me of that movie where they're all sitting around a table to discuss what they're going to do about the "Jew Problem" as they called it. Extermination is what they said. It was bone chilling. They were talking about human beings and you could see there were only a couple of them in the room that it was even affecting talking like that. I just don't get why the other little ants haven't woken up yet? Their insistence on remaining sleeping is going to get us all exterminated.
Yes, now it's a human surplus problem, and millions believe that their fellow humans should be expunged or are resigned that even they should be terminated prematurely at some point in time. The Marxist Revolutionary leaders and masses all knew and believed fatalism was the rule. Hitler was jealous that his Nominal Socialists weren't nearly as devoted unto DEATH as the Bolsheviks and Soviet populations were. Nazi Leadership decided that ultimately the GERMAN people themselves were to be annihilated as they were unworthy and unable to achieve mastery over lesser peoples. Suicide en masse, practically begging for the A-Bombs to fall upon them.
Actually... they did. These people were resilient in their refusal to sell their properties to the govt or their patsies. And the government couldn't just take the land using eminent domain because the fair market value of this land was incomparable (and the government's basis for the land grab wasn't for a justifiable purpose). However... if these people are dead, their (likely off-island) heirs aren't nearly as invested in preserving/rebuilding the property, especially now that's it's a disaster site and open grave. Those heirs are far more likely to take whatever check the government strokes them to move on. And that's assuming these people have heirs... many don't (when the children are burned alive too).
It sends a message. "We will get what we want, regardless." They want Lahaina to be a 15 min city and Maui to be the first SMART island. There were too many native Hawaiians with sacred, historical buildings that were protected by law. They just changed that law saying everything could be changed in light of a "natural disaster". So, they produced their "natural disaster". Getting rid of hundreds of "dissenters" was just a bonus.
Government malevolence. I’ve heard this describes as Hawaii’s 9/11 (including government involvement). After the past 3+ years & what our government did to us & this country (& continues to do), nothing surprises anymore
Heard FEMA is staying in $1000 a night hotels on other side of island too, while our government, which has ZERO difficulty handing out millions & billions of our tax dollars to corrupt Ukraine & ILLEGAL ALIENS, insults its own people w/ “recompense” of $700 after killing many & trying to kill more, first. Everything it does is diabolical & deliberate insult to the US citizenry to demoralize & crush spirits
There are still plenty of neocon Uniparty ‘tards (including Pence & Mao Mitch) all in for Ukraine but for me, the DemoncRAT hard-on for all things Russia!-Russia!-Russia! & Putin since 2016 & the slavering for Ukraine had me against support for that war w/ no discernible US interest. Anything this demonic administration is FOR, I’m rabidly AGAINST
That's (probably) standard procedure in a crisis area. In such a situation, it's just common sense that you refuse entry to anyone not having legitimate business. In the first place, there is often actual danger, so sightseers are not welcome. I've personally experienced that, although nothing more sinister than as a tourist being waved away from a seaside resort area a few days after a major hurricane had struck.
In the second place, are the would-be looters and other miscreants. These are definitely not needed.
But prohibiting people from leaving? That I've never heard of.
I’ve the blessing of opportunity to listen to a lot of youtube and rumble vids of direct live and recorded “man on the street” type reporting from near Lahaina, by LOCALS. They are and were immediately helping each other, and got organized fast, even if ramshackle. They call it the Aloha spirit. Natives and residents of all types assessed and organized, and were receiving direct support, helping with communications, food, clothes... well before govt showed up.
Same here. I just cannot understand why there were roadblocks in the first place? Who the heck put them there and for what reason? I would do whatever it took to get my family to safety in it included roadblocks, I would go around any day.
I know it. I think of how close we were to being caught up in this (we were on the big island when it hit and had a fire 15 miles north of us - but all fires on the big island were put out). We were scheduled to go to Maui that weekend, but cancelled it. The crazy thing is I am hearing the tourists at the resorts were evacuated. So why did they get to leave but locals were forced to stay?
When we went back to visit in 2018, the marked increase in homeless clusters along the coastline up to Lahaina was crazy to see. I wonder if the number of those missing is even bigger because they don't know who else was caught up in the mess that weren't officially part of town?
I bet you're right...I find it horrific that there are still thousands missing. I didn't know Lahaina had turned out like that (haven't seen it since 2006, so this would've been our first time back). But we did see Oahu this trip and there was a huge homeless population there. Ugh, now I'm wondering what's planned for them :-(
😔 I pray they have their wake up call rung loud and clear and start ousting their local guvies but I suspect they won't do anything to change things either.
Jenn I too was left deeply rattled at the barricades. Has there been any pressers where this has been addressed. It makes zero sense other than our speculations- demise. Interestingly it begs to ask what would we do - and aren’t we yet again on the verge being told what to do by the gov’t - yet it is NOT for our life saving well being. My summation is the obvious DO NOT COMPLY. ❌ 😷 ❌ 💉
At this point, I'm not sure I'd say the government is "failing". These monsters are achieving exactly what they have been planning. So to them, it's hugely successful.
Can't have witnesses. Tourists could spread the pictures they took, video, etc back to the mainland. And then the murderous elitists would be exposed. No, Can't have that.
I have read that it took the gov't THREE HOURS to even give permission to the fire department to use water to put out the fires as well. The expensive new sirens they had somehow managed to NOT work at all (even after being tested recently)...lots of suspicious stuff going on...
They have their lame excuses for not sending out the siren warnings - but remember ‘they’ had no problem with widely warning, via text message I believe, the fake N. Korea missile attack several years ago. It seemed EVERYONE got that message!?
Yeh Jenn! Something about “equitable” distribution. You can’t use agriculture destined water to put out wild fires. I was floored by that. We are living in a clown world - only it’s the scary clown, not the happy clown. On second thought, all clowns are pretty terrifying....
You are assuming people told to put the road blocks up know about electricity and conductivity and are willing to break rules.
A key factor in our abusive outcomes is that we do not think critically and most do not recognize that the rules are not made to help us by people that know how and would actually help us.
Rule breakers have the extreme upper hand in 2020-2023+ America. Why? Because following the rules gets you harmed or killed.
I watched a video of a father who was told to turn around. He refused, backed up and cut through several folk's yards to get to safety. No one followed him....they turned around and were forced to drive into the fire...
So true, and we are rapidly learning this lesson. It still hurts my heart though because most rule followers are such kind and good people (I'm not talking about mask idiots or 7x boosted folks here though).
Rules should be obeyed, but there are times to break them. Would you prefer to be stuck in a multi-mile backup on the interstate, or would your risk a moving violation by driving on the median? I don't make a habit of that, but that's exactly what I did many years ago. I was driving an AWD SUV. I did it cautiously...kids were playing on the grass some places. I wasn't cited, but I had a ready excuse: a passenger who required medication that, if not taken on a strict schedule, could have severe consequences to her. By all means officer, arrest me, but did you know that....?
Other times, not quite as legitimate, like last week, when I was stuck in a slightly smaller (unusual) backup on a divided highway. The median was passable, no oncoming traffic...check...illegal U-turn.
Rules only work when most people obey them and, especially, if the ruling power actually enforces them impartially. Those days are gone, and I doubt they're coming back anytime soon. At some point, I'm sorry to convey the bad news, you're actually a chump if you follow the rules.
Not sure about this claim. Heard yesterday that blue cars burned... How would it skip over some blue things and not others? There is so much we do not yet know....
the same mind of cutting firelines on the West side, BEHIND the fire in East Troublesome CO, where reverse 911 worked about 70-80%, where they were lucky to only have 2 people incinerated and NOT 1,000+. Where the entire EM force, the Town of Grand lake and thousands evacuating down a single highway was barely spared only due to the wind direction and the door to door action by the EM force. NO National Guard in action due to CoVid Deployment.
Jen, Here's a start as waking up takes time....The Maui chief of police hired just last year was previously part of the Las Vegas police department investigating the Vegas shooting. The investigation was quickly closed. The officers that closed the Maui roads were just following orders.
Twin tower #2 made an announcement while tower #1 was burning that all was fine and to remain in their offices. My friend, ignored the warning and got out. He is alive and well today. Many are not.
CHop, there is an excellent book called “102 minutes” by Jim Dwyer that reveals first-hands truths about what happened beginning at 08:46am on 9.11.2001.
The information we're getting leads me to believe it was deliberate. I hate to say that, but I see what they did to us with COVID and the shots. That was deliberate.
I think the rational conclusion is that NO ONE SHOULD DO ANYTHING THE GOVERNEMENT TELLS THEM TO if they value their lives and enjoy breathing.
That is good advice for us all. I think I'm going to be more vocal this time around and actively speak out against it when people suggest things...like when they're virtue signaling and saying things like "oh we should all take precautions and get our boosters" I think I'll actually say "why? Because it worked so well stopping us from getting covid the last time?" We have to not be afraid to speak up.
You have to not be afraid to speak, but you also need to understand that speaking can get you in a lot of trouble, especially the way things are going now. I am not advocating silence. I'm saying, "Pick your battles."
Creative Destruction is their middle name. This Marxist mind set is all about killing, terrorizing, maiming, looting, mind control, endless lying, etc. ... all to achieve a total compliance. That Nugent quote said it all.
I cannot imagine telling people to turn around and head towards the fires. But these monsters?
Maybe they were there to keep people out, not in, but with no sign on them to tell those trying to exit to go around? It sounds like some at least may not haven been staffed, so there would have been no one to wave the people out, but tell anyone coming in to go back. For any that were staffed, it makes zero sense from our perspective.
Loved your comment, Jen. The same happened on 9-11. Everyone in the buildings below the floors where the planes hit had two options: (1) stay in place and wait for rescue, or (2) try to get the hell out. I read that when people called 911 to ask what to do, they were told to do option (1) and stay in place and wait for rescue. Everyone who did stay in place died. Everyone who ignored the government orders and ran down the stairs survived.
Years later, in about 2012, I was in a San Francisco hotel when the fire alarms went off and a voice came on over the intercoms telling everyone to please stay in their rooms. Remembering the 9-11 story, I immediately resolved to do the opposite. I ran out into the hall and found the halls deserted with all the fire doors closed, I burst through those doors, ran down the stairways to the emergency exit where there was a red sign saying that exiting through the emergency doors would set of alarms. I didn't care & just hit the red bar and burst out into the outside sunshine and made my way to a coffee shop. In the end, there was no fire, but there was no way I was going to just sit in my room waiting for further orders.
As a personal acquaintance of someone who is being charged for his participation in the Jan. 6 protest in DC, and of another person who is being prosecuted in the Michigan alternate slate of electors case, I can understand that many people would support Trump even if he were convicted, since convictions in politically-motivated prosecutions don't necessarily mean a person is an actual criminal.
I am going to vote Trump even if I have to write his name in with blood (because the ink from the pens doesn't work). We need the wrecking ball/bull in a china shop. And this comes from a man that grimaced while listening to the Tucker/Trump interview last night. Haven't heard a full speech in several years. His personality and credit taking for everything and over simplification with judgemental takes on people and issues is difficult at best to listen to. But what he did as a leader cannot be denied. And what anyone from the establishment did/will do cannot be denied. So it's gotta be Trump to save the country from a hot revolutionary war.
Vivek praised what he (Trump) did as President last night to Christie at the debates. Vivek is oozing with non politician integrity. He is super articulate and fast too. Christie made fun of him for that. Ugh.
Like Antifa, BLM, other various rioters, or violent illegals whom ICE will not deport, or whom leftist judges, prosecutors, etc. refuse to turn over to ICE. I also have an acquaintance whose daughter died as a result of a repeat offender illegal drving drunk.
I didn't want to watch the debate, but my boyfriend really wanted to watch it... The last thing I want to see is good (and bad) GOP candidates slinging mud at each other for the next 10 months, but that's what will happen, and it will help the Dems. I never bought DeSantis fans's argument that Trump couldn't win in 2024, or at least that a GOP nominee DeSantis would fare any better. Why? The 10 months of mudslinging necessary for Trump to not be the nominee. DeSantis always had as much chance to beat Trump as Ukraine had to beat Russia. It's a shame because he could have waited 4 years, let all of these other candidates make clowns of themselves and been the obvious GOP nominee in 2028. If I was a FL resident, I'd be happy that he didn't have a stellar performance last night.
With that said, Vivek and Nikki were the obvious standouts. I'm curious at what other people thought about the foreign policy 'exchange' between Nikki and Vivek. Imho, Nikki's hysterical screeching was not a good look. She lost control of her emotions and said "He wants China to eat Taiwan". It wasn't presidential.
Also, I'm not one of those people who think we are facing an existential crisis. I thought that in 2008, and we survived 8 years of Obama. I thought that in 2021 during the vaccine rollout. Vaccine passports were a conspiracy, and then they were rolled out. Civil disobedience (and SEC football fans) saved our country and we'll do it again. Half of Gen Z and Millennials think the planet will be uninhabitable 10-15 years due to global warming. Buying into fear porn is self destructive.
The problem with Nikki is she's a chameleon. She changes policy with the wind as it blows money and power to and from her. She's more a part of the establishment than most, pure RINO out for power and willing to sell out.
Slick, Neo-Con, totally military industrial CIA complex establishment. Her jive is brilliantly crafted to suck in the many who fall all over it. Nothing new here except the updated rap.
I don't think any Republican candidate can get elected at this point. The Dems and the machine they have built, will cheat and cheat and cheat until they get the outcome they desire. There is absolutely NO WAY they let DJT back in the White House. I will gladly vote for Trump or Desantis (but to be honest, I don't think I would vote for any of the others) but I would be lying if I didn't admit to a certain amount of fatalism.
I agree. I don't see how a GOP POTUS candidate can win in 2024 unless millennials start shifting on their voting preferences. I'm in a bright red state, so my state's electors will go to the GOP nominee. For purple states, the problem with exposing the Deep State, swamp, and cheating is that it reduces GOP turnout.
With that said, the GOP will likely win the Senate next year.
There are some (not necessarily here, but in darker corners of the conservative blog-o-sphere) who say that the collapse is the solution. In other words, yes, the system is probably beyond reform via the political process. Alas, that only leaves, shall we say, more messy options? I'm a bit of a cynic, but I don't follow politics all that closely. As said, it's mostly mud-slinging and kabuki theater at this point. Tweddledee and Tweedledum.
I thought Nikki Haley stood out for her screeching, interrupting and talking over the other candidates. She’s a RINO, a Neocon and didn’t complete the great job that President Trump generously gave her as UN Ambassador. I would never vote for her! #Trump2024
I didn’t like the men vs women comment. I would rather have a confident well qualified person for President than voting to have a woman because she is a woman.
I thought that Vivek was brilliant on many topics. I love my Governor but agree that timing wasnt right. I never liked Haley on foreign policy..she is a brainwashed neocon.
I like a lot of what he says. However, he is Hindu, so when he says God is real, his god is not my God. Also, he reminds me of a Republican version of Obama, good looking, well spoken... but slippery.
He said that he believes in Judeo-Christian values. That is a lot more than the pseudo Christians like Biden and demon following demoncrat friends. Just saying. (I admit that he being Hindu would have bothered me decades ago, but the fake Christian atheist pagans have become so evil these days that it no longer does.)
I watched the Tucker/Trump interview. The other attemptees don't have a chance and most of them are major losers real-time! Pence is such a traitor that his claim of "I had no right to send the questioned votes back to the states" was undone by Congress actually REMOVING that "right" that he didn't have. Nikki is a major RINO Neocon. DeSantis is my governor, but he is not presidential material - no way, no how....plus, he's supported by establishment big money which is what brought us the Deep State corruption to begin with. Are you KIDDING me? Have we learned NOTHING? As for Hutchinson and Christie......crickets. Not worth the time to notice.
We used the same word to describe Haley's yelling over Vivek when it was Vivek's turn to speak: screeching. I used in a comment on a friend's FB post, where he linked to that clip. So glad I didn't watch the so-called 'debate.' The format stinks, and there should be no live audience, as they act like they're in a low-class TV show audience, doing their own shrieking and interrupting. I'm embarrassed to think of all the foreigners watching it.
For those who can afford it, I would like to suggest a second Operation Multiplier for CJ Hopkins, who is facing 60 days in jail or a 3,600-euro fine for two tweets courtesy of New Normal Germany. He just published details about his case and Legal Defense Fund this morning:
“The @CJ Hopkins case is the equivalent of the Assange case for satirists. If Germany succeeds in imposing this Sophie’s choice of a 60-day incarceration or 3,600 euros fine for TWO BLOODY TWEETS, that is the end of satire as we know it—at least in Germany and other countries that have weaponized ‘hate’ speech laws against those courageous enough to expose the authoritarian practices of their governments. For daring to draw valid historical comparisons with present-day policies and trying to STOP the advance of fascism, CJ is being charged with furthering ‘the aims of a former National Socialist Organization.’
This is insane. Europe is insane. I think I understand the degree to which everything has been corrupted and then I hear a story like this. Will check out his Substack. He's been a great voice during Covid despite the differences in some of our political views.
I completely agree about the insanity, NAB, and thank you for checking out his Stack! His hysterical book, “The Rise of the New Normal Reich,” is a good way to catch up on his COVID columns and support him, too.
Great idea! And I can always use a new book for my Covid collection :) I know so many people want to move on from it, but I refuse until there is a widespread acknowledgement of the harm done.
Margaret Anna Alice, thank you for sharing! I didn’t know about CJ or about his plight. In his support, I bought a paid subscription and a copy of his book. So many people to pray for....
Bless you, Susie & Security! You are in for many wincing belly laughs :-) Our Dissident Dialogue was riveting if you have time to peruse our lengthy discussion:
Sorry but he is a leftist and choose to live there - unless he moved there and stays there due to a German spouse - not what he said in a recent interview... I know enough about the German an EU mentality where dissent is not allowed!
You mean the kind of leftist the left calls a conspiracy-theorist-anti-vaxxer-fascist-Putin-Nazi-right-wing-extremist? The kind of leftist who celebrates populism, mocks TDS sufferers, and lambastes the authoritarian left at every opportunity? That kind of leftist? :-)
He moved to Berlin almost two decades ago when it was a *very* different place. To their credit, he and his wife decided to stay and fight. His wife has a business there, and they can’t afford to just uproot everything. That said, it does sound like he’s planning to apply any surplus from his legal defense fund to his “Get the Hell out of Germany” Fund (https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/my-legal-defense-fund).
ETA 🗨 leadership /ˈliːdəʃɪp/, noun: • the action of leading a group of people or an organization. • the state or position of being a leader. • the leaders of an organization, country, etc.

My guess is that Prigozhin was assassinated by the CIA., not Putin.
I have a hard time believing that the Swamp(who control the voting results) will allow any results that we would want. They have committed so many crimes that they can't loose now.
If he was on a different plane I would feel better about the repercussions. Putin didn't do anything that I know of about the pipelines or the other Russians that have been assassinated, the fact that he is silent now is making me think some 'westerners' are going to suffer polonium poisoning. Since Wagner was becoming so popular in Africa I can imagine some of the illegal(but praised by progs) border crossings from Mexico to US will be from Africans sympathetic to Wagner and eager to bring some chaos across the border while collecting their $2200/mo payments.
They can also lie and stage deaths pretty easily. I can think of quite a few ostensible deaths that I don't necessarily believe. Epstein for one. El Chapo.
I was thinking that too, but I just saw an article in the WSJ that they're saying now he was assassinated. And they appear to be blaming Russia. Is this like when we said Russia blew up their own pipeline?
I heard that Biden is accusing Putin too, but why in the plane like that then? I saw some video apparently showing the burning plane falling out of the sky. It looked like it was on fire inside of the plane, who knows if the video is real. If Putin wanted him dead I doubt he would kill a bunch of other russians, Putin seems aware of the perceptions of the Russian people and eager to stay popular, unlike 'Western' leaders who don't care what anyone thinks because it doesn't matter, they control election results. Even Libs I talk to acknowledge it happened in AZ but say it was necessary to avoid Lake, and they will accept it again especially for Trump.
And that right there is the issue...liberals are "ends justify the means" - they hate Trump so badly (and Kari Lake) because of what they've been told by the media (elites) that they are willing to throw away all of our constitutional rights and freedoms. That is just wrong and sick. I don't think that we should give them a pass anymore. Liberals are going to have to learn to play by the rules. Or we have to get better at cheating and show them what that feels like (and I'm not a fan of lowering ourselves like that, but I have no idea how else to correct this backwards thinking of ends justify the means)
It seems like they don't even think about the problems with having a 'Democracy' that has is controlled for their benefit. They actually feel like it's a benefit to all to have 'freedom' that is dictated by their woke leadership. After all, they call it "free-dumb'. They prefer people be free to do what they are told is allowed.
The people that know and accept that conservatives are unfairly treated seem to require that they be told what to do, so they can do it and be judged in a favorable way, sort of like a religion. Unfortunately, I think woke AI will replace judgement by God for most libs. They are unable to comprehend why that's a problem.
That is going to be downright terrifying to watch. They're already programmed so I guess it makes sense that they'll worship AI. Although I have noticed with most liberals (that I know anyway) they'll crow about how everyone should follow the rules (and post on FB incessantly about it) and then turn around and break the rules themselves. Rules for me and not for thee. They're as bad as the elites they worship.
I have decided that when leftists start raging about conservatives taking away their “reproductive rights” or the “right to gay marriage” I’m going to turn their own tactics back on them and roll my eyes and say “muh freedoms.” Since that’s what they always seem to do when we are concerned about our 1st or 2nd amendment rights or our rights to bodily autonomy being taken away. I want to see their faces when I say that 😆
I like the attitude, although I think I am going to be a little more harsh when given the opportunity. On the reproductive rights - I might be shifting my feelings. When I think about it maybe it would be good to MANDATE that libtards get an abortion. My first thought is of the innocent children, but the geneticist in me says when you breed a tumbleweed with a dandelion you don't end up with a rose. We live in a new world, most of those kids are going to grow up to be human garbage, why not let their parents throw their remains in the trash?
Opposition to abortion might be why lefties did so well in the midterms last year too. I say let them CHOOSE to kill their kids if they want, some independents might vote for our side.
I saw 2 videos of the supposed plane where one was on fire, but the other one wasn’t. I saw the one on fire later in the day and just thought that was weird.
I wonder where they get all these videos? I don't really trust them, the one I saw looked real, but who was on it or when it crashed is anyone's guess. It's frustrating to know we don't know what happened and probably never will. If Prigozhin was on a plane that fell out of the sky on fire, the CIA is still my first suspect.
Also Wagner was flying 2 planes out of Moscow the same time and Russia has said that the 2nd one did land. I would think that if he was on the 2nd plane they would have said so unless he’s still actually in Africa. Or he wasn’t on it but they haven’t said anything yet. I’m going to keep my mind open until I see more facts.
Sam strikes me as the type of Vegan that primarily eats French fries and potato chips, plus the occasional baked potato with vegan butter and cheese. In my observation, there are quite a few vegans and vegetarians that don’t actually eat any green or colorful vegetables or even salads. They are primarily Potato A Tarians
I have a vegan friend who lives on pasta, bagles, and donuts. Actual vegetables? Not so much. She's terribly overweight and otherwise unhealthy, but yeah, she's vegan.
True, the ones I know live on bread and pasta also, or any type of noodle, like ramen soup seems to be a staple. Maybe the name should be White Carb A Tarian rather than potato a tarian !
Just as in the world trade center collapse, the Maui evacuation supports the concept of the wisdom of the crowd. In a crisis, follow your own instincts and disobey the experts.
I hate to say it, but that moment when the candidates were asked if they would continue to support Trump "if he were convicted in a court of law," when DeSantis hesitated and looked around at the others, and finally slowly raised his hand when he saw that Ramswamy had raised his, was an extremely bad look. I predict that DeSantis' polling numbers will take a palpable hit, which they can't afford.
My wife and I totally disagreed on Trump. I thought he was weak and unfocused, but she thought he was strategically trying to not appear angry and unhinged in order to perhaps better appeal to moderate voters. Now I agree with her. I'm too much of a hot head. There are no clips in the Trump debate that his enemies can take out of context (like the very fine people hoax) and use to paint him as unhinged or dangerous. Overall, Trump easily won the night. As somebody who very much wants DeSantis to succeed, somebody should have advised him to please, PLEASE wait until 2028, lest he completely lose his future viability by not being ready for the national spotlight at this very dangerous hour.
I watched most of the interview and I love PDT and the vast majority of what he did as President, but, dear Lord, listening to him still drives me up a pole.
I have trouble with my disjointed thoughts messing up my speaking ability, but he makes me sound like Cicero.
He certainly is no orator, that is for sure. His command of the English language is poor... but then neither is fMr. full of malarky, Biden.(atleast nowadays) Bush was pretty bad to listen to as well.. American politicians sound so bad compared to British politicians. One of the problems for some of them might be that they cant just let go because of worrying if they will offend this one or that one. The only one who compares to the British orators is Vivek! Wow..so quick thinking and speaking and articulate.
Just an opinion in progress at this point but Trump was tame and didn’t say anything new or profound. Vivek may have worked his way into a VP slot if Trump is the nominee. Too many ifs ands or buts at this point and I’m still trying to figure out which are real human beings and which are purely political animals minus a soul. New song in the works .. “send in the clones”.
As I was walking my dog this morning, a wonderful thought occurred to me: What if Vivek is the vice-presidential nominee and he gets to debate Kamala?!!!
And don’t get overwhelmed by the orator part. They can knock your socks off with their wordsmithing but lie and mislead in the process. Before you know it you’ve been bamboozled.. by global elite minutia of the AI kind.
It was shocking how bad the GOP debate was. The “moderators” weren’t in control and I felt most of their questions were very biased. They focused too much on Trump (in a negative way) I believe hoping he would be blasted by the candidates and most took the bait. Nikki Haley, Pence, Christie, DeSantis, Hutchison...what a pathetic group of RINO losers!
I ALSO felt that was a very bad moment for Desantis. There are some things I like about him but that left a VERY bad taste in my mouth- looking around then raising his hand - clearly disengenuine. NOT GOOD!!!!! That also won my vote for Vivek if Trump doesn’t get the nomination.
I appreciate that you're staying apolitical at this point but DeSantis is not the leader in the primary by any means. The only person that shined last night was Vivek and he will not be the nominee unless they take Trump off the ballot.
I’ve never liked her to begin with but for sure a nail in the coffin. The there was the guy from Arkansas who said he would not support Trump if he won the nomination! Another nail! GRRR.
She’s been very disappointing, I thought she did well in the UN (at least compared to who we had before) but she’s shown herself as a RINO with no firm conservative principles. Very squishy, no backbone 🙄
Ugh, was Pence just so annoying there?! “He’s referring to me, he’s referring to me.” He tried to make everything about himself and just came off so whiny and aggressive. And Christie! Whew, lawd! He acted like a kid who had his lunch money stolen one too many times. Just insufferable.
This clip was probably my favorite part for Vivek! He absolutely was on fire! And he gets it. Interview after the debate he commented about the funds “going” to Ukraine were being funneled back into politicians hands. The #1 reason we should not be “sending” funds
I actually like him A LOT. More than I thought I would. I also heard a video of him talking politely calmly and pursuasively to an LGBTQ woman who wanted her concerns addressed. It was powerful and a great example for a leader.
I didn’t watch the debate (no more Fox for me), but all I’ve heard about DeSantis is that his new campaign mode is screaming out his message…not a great tactic. The picture Jeff included today seems to verify that.
I didn't watch either. I can't stand anyone that stage. They should be standing with Trump considering the political persecution will come for them next (if their legit)
A few did. Vivek praised his leadership. I dont remember who, one of them, said we shouldnt be doing this to political adversaries, and Vivek spoke up to Trump hating Christie really well.
Yeah but that's not enough. Trump is 50 points higher than anyone else and they should all be stepping aside and supporting him. They stole his last presidency and should not be allowed to do so again. If we had some unity in our party, we'd never have these issues.
🤷 Agree, but for the first time in a long time, we see some refreshing faces who have basic and good Judeo-Christian/real American values on both sides: Vivek and RFK Jr.
That in itself is something that makes me smile. I think Trump was a great President but the others also have integrity and logic (and are a bit more respectful and mature than Trump vis a vis those they disagree with.)
Jeff summed up DeSantis's appeal among the rank and file well, but that's not why the GOP money men support him. They don't support him because he's electable and Trump isn't, in fact it's the exact opposite. They support him because they are worried Trump is electable.
The GOP money men love neocon unending wars and "free trade" (snicker) because it's making them rich. Trump turning the party isolationist and protectionist (in other words America First) threatens their bottom line. It's pretty simple.
I was willing to give DeSantis the benefit of the doubt about these associations because unlike Trump, he isn't rich. He needs to get funding somewhere. But his flip-flop on the Ukraine war was a huge red flag. He originally correctly summarized the war (a territory dispute that isn't in our national interest) to a 180 turn to the standard neocon talking points a few days later. IMO that looks like he got spanked by the money men.
He also is now behaving as if the indictments against Trump have some validity rather than rejecting the entire premise. The *only* acceptable response from DeSantis or any of these others is this, "I think I would be a better president than President Trump. However, the indictments are an utterly corrupt abuse of the system. President Trump is a good man, and the left are using these phony indictments to persecute him, and create a legal environment where no one can challenge their authority. If elected, I will pardon President Trump on day one, and my administration will prosecute these corrupt prosecutors."
Yet he doesn't say this. Why not? IMO it's because the GOP money men think the Trump indictments *are valid* and they support them. DeSantis can't speak the truth because those controlling the purse strings won't let him.
I was long on the fence between Trump and DeSantis for exactly the reasons Jeff states in his post. Now it has become clear to me that DeSantis is captured. He may be a great governor but all indications are that as president he will be manipulated and controlled. If he can't even speak the truth in a campaign, does anyone think he'd be allowed to carry out an America First agenda as president?
Apparently I'm not alone in these conclusions as DeSantis originally had pretty strong support and looked competitive. Now his support has cratered and is mainly Never-Trump National Review types. He's destroyed his hard-earned reputation as a fighter and is now seen as just another neocon sell-out. For all President Trump's faults, no one can ever accuse him of that.
He’s much stronger than Trump. Trump grew the swamp. DeSantis is draining the swamp in Florida. Trump is weak and has people making excuses for him left and right because of his bad decisions.
You throw out the statements as facts (when they are actually just your opinion) without addressing a single point I made above regarding DeSantis caving to the GOP donors.
DeSantis is not "draining the swamp" in Florida but fighting back against woke policies. This is good and admirable. But what you are missing is that "the swamp" is not transvestites teaching kids as bad as that is. The swamp is the wholesale selling out of our country through endless wars, crony capitalism ("free trade", lol), and unrestrained immigration. DeSantis has done nothing on these aside from some gimmicks, because these are national issues, not state issues.
So when it comes to how DeSantis will stop this as president we get nothing but crickets. Unfortunately the GOP donors are making money hand over fist from selling out the country. They don't care about woke issues as it's not their gravy train, so DeSantis is allowed too speak out and take action on those. But he's not allowed to touch the big three. On those three Trump is the only person who has stood up at all, albeit not perfectly.
We actually have brains here and think this stuff through. Bumper sticker slogans like "DeSantis drained the swamp" just don't cut it. That's why he's down to around 10% in the polls.
Edit: I will give DeSantis credit for some of the clever things he's done using state laws to deincentivize illegal immigration. He's one of the few governors who has actually done anything here. But fighting the swamp means a wholesale plan forward regarding those plundering the country. Trump (and possibly Vivek) are the only ones addressing this.
My reply was to End Tryanny’s comment and not to you.
However, Trump made lousy appointments and poor decisions which killed people and ruined lives.
DeSantis has made decisions which have saved lives. Nothing is more sacred than saving and protecting life. DeSantis is simply a more patriotic individual. We’re just going to have to disagree on who is the best nominee. Best wishes.
Very well said and I agree wholeheartedly. Sorry to say DeSantis is likely a sellout. We are in a virtually unprecedented phase of U.S. history. The levels of overt persecution have never happened before, to my knowledge. I'm still wondering if 2023 is not going to turn out to be an echo of 1859. Troubled times ahead.
I have to agree with you. What is happening to Trump and his advisors should be 100 percent condemned by our party. There is no wiggle room. Can we make laws against this type of bogus prosecution?
Didn’t watch but saw enough this morning to know this was a set up between Fox and the Deep State, whoever that is. As Jeff brilliantly pointed out, there is no Superman, and as long as the 2020 election is ignored and that they can do whatever they want, and convict Trump before any kind of a kangaroo court, we are lost as a Nation.
Really like Vivek, of course there are still a few unanswered questions regarding his past BUT he speaks with authority and conviction. Loved the grilling he gave Christie last night!
I did twelve years of Catholic schools (albeit diocesan not Jesuit) and there are plenty more like me. Yet these smooth talking con men almost always seem to have a Jesuit connection, not just attendees of plebian Catholic schools. I no longer think its' a coincidence myself.
Thank you for stating the truth. I was going to type it but you did it for me. Some of DeSantis rich promoters have already cut their losses and walked away from him. The people of Florida for the most part are turned off by what took place in that legislative session where they tweaked the law and allowed him to run for president. For myself personally I think he is a very dangerous politician who only dances to the tune of what his handlers tell him to. I feel he has a lot to learn and develop a public persona that does not emulate Donald Trump.
That really bothered me as well and I don’t live in FL. Paving the way for yourself and yet you had not even admitted you are running for election!!! Sounds a lot like Bidens laws to get himself out of trouble. You can’t write law for yourself!
Dropped some bucks for Ray Smith. also:
Ted Nugent:
They'll keep setting fires until you submit to their climate change agenda.
They'll keep instigating shootings until you submit to gun control.
They'll keep faking pandemics until you submit to medical slavery.
My favorite was of Ted's message to the vax'd

Climate Change is the Next "Pandemic" and the corporations are using it to steal resources:
https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/the-hidden-profits-of-climate-change
https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-climate-change-is-wrong-dangerous
You are preachin to the choir brother. well aware of the hoax and the why behind it.
"Climate change" was the parent of the covid scaredemic. Now it's just circling back, but at warp speed this time.
There's a new variant: BS-24/7
Oh that’s not new, that’s the original variant 😑
The new variant is ERIS.
Everyone Really Is Stupid.....
If you recall, James O’Keefe had the video of the CNN clowns saying (after the stolen election) “ok, now it’s time to turn to climate change”. The average person is just too dumb or indifferent to see what’s really going on. I have a vision of starving and homeless emaciated dems standing in lines...not for food or shelter, but to cast their vote for the next democratic candidate. They still think they are better off now than under Trump.
Yup. I read an insider document several years before the pandemic that said they wanted vaccine passports
And I naively thought- that’s crazy. How would that ever come to be?
Well now we know.
They always have a plan to get where and what they want.
Normal people can’t even imagine the evil and power that’s behind all of it.
I love Maui. Wanted to retire there. That fire was not natural. No way. Too hot, too fast, too many ‘coincidences’ and anomalies!
They wanna say those winds were caused by hurricane Dora 500 miles away… okay… where’s the rain that comes with a typical hurricane then??? And if there was a hurricane nearby… why are there videos of people in the water of Lahaina harbor and the water is calm … if the hurricane winds were coming off the water…. The surf would be way up… and Lahaina harbor was calm… the winds were coming over the west Maui mountains… which doesn’t add up with what the media is saying.
Not to mention- how does a fire burn the inside of a tree black and leave the bark unburned… or melt metal and leave wood and plastics unburned … or burn wood around metal bolts- and the wood unburned- and teeth incinerated… no remains are being found … if it was a normal brush fire which burns around 1400-1500 degrees… they’d be finding teeth/remains … and there aren’t any- because the fire had to be 2200-2400 degrees to melt metal and glass … and incinerate people’s teeth
It’s not right
And the CA and Canadian fires were not right either- but they got away with those… so they moved on to Maui next.
People need to wake up and realize these fires are climate terrorism and intentional
Exactly this. I have been making the same points.
There are wind sensors all around Maui. Did they record high winds, and from what direction? There are lots of military assets all over Hawaii, they could not provide any support? There is an observatory and Airforce installation high atop a mountain on Maui with a clear view of most of the island. They can ping the Moon with a laser from there. They could not monitor the fires and provide assistance? They also conduct experiments with DEW at that facility. Coincidence?
Like vaccines…
There are too many ‘coincidences’
There are videos of DEW flashes hitting Maui. I wondered where they were coming from. That’s a huge clue and should be investigated starting with all the personnel on that base.
We knew the Canadian wildfires were not right either, but when the weather app constantly reminds you of “smoke” in the air everyday and the only news you get is how many acres are burning, you either accept it or know you are being lied to on a global scale. People just quit listening and talking about it.
Correct
Those fires aren’t natural or normal either. It’s Climate terrorism…
You know, you're exactly right. We were on the big island when it happened and we tried to go visit a couple of historic sites but turned back because the car was getting blown around the road. And when we got out the sand from the beach was stinging our legs, and the wind was so strong that it physically knocked us down. But you're right - there weren't waves with this one. The sea was not churned up - normally the ocean is just wild and all the silt and garbage gets churned up and it stinks for a while. The water there was crystal clear and not moving much. I live in Charleston and we've had a few hurricanes come through and they did not feel like this. And I can tell you, when the hurricane is still 500 miles away down in FL, we feel nothing yet. It's not until it gets much, much closer that we start feeling wind. But we do get rain quicker. So I have told people this hurricane thing was nothing like I've ever felt. The whole thing was so odd.
Dr Robert Malone's interview with two Maui locals in which they explained whether the hurricane could affect Maui-- they said The hurricane would have to be within about 150 miles to have effect on Maui. As It was,hurricane was 500 plus miles away and couldn't have affected.
This is also great information to have! Another piece of the puzzle.
At the time, I was 500 miles from Hurricane Hilary. Glad about that for a variety of reasons. Anyway, all I got was sprinkles....no wind. NO WAY 50-70 mile an hour winds would hit 500 miles away. That would mean the winds close to the eye of the hurricane would have obliterated the area from the planet!!!!
Looks like the wind was blowing TOWARD the water in this video and that’s what people who were there during the fire said. https://youtu.be/ltajfAXC3GY?si=5k2ax_1B4BbMYMbZ
Gooood good points made. I wish you could do a pod cast or get that info to Tucker or someone like that!
Yes, I agree.
And all entrances out of Lahaina blocked.
It’s going to be the anecdotal stories and the people on the ground that need to be listened to… not the local politicians or news media…. If we’re ever going to learn the truth about what happened there and killed so many unsuspecting people.
I wish I had paid more attention to the CA fires. They are the exact same kind of ‘fires’ - forests standing and homes ‘dustified’…
Patty Hall of the healthy American is following all of this …

GWP has a story today about a man in Norway being sent to a mental hospital, they also are re-educating Jordan Peterson for his view on trans issues. They have no qualms who they will come after if you do not tow their line. It is scary, and it is global.
Yes that was very disturbing 😕 A little while back, Corbett Report had a great series posts on how governments have used mental illness to persecute and sideline their critics. It’s also very disturbing.
https://corbettreport.substack.com/p/dissent-into-madness-crazy-conspiracy
When all else fails "you are crazy" will do. It is disturbing and scary. Their fear of us has become over the top.
I shared information about the 15-minute cities a few months ago with a “friend” on FB. He thought I was crazy.
Crazier than a bag of cats.
Nuttier than squirrel turds.
The insane incompetence seems to be the single criteria for "ruling" in this country.
Omg. I loved that clip. So freakin hilarious!!!
Boy did I enjoy that, thanks!
Sweaty Teddy! Gotta love him. That was perfect
I LOVE Ted and his appreciation for the 2A!
They will keep doing it because the American people let them get away with it and don’t fight back. Those of us who are awake will NEVER comply . Our job is to share the TRUTH far & wide .
We should try to share it in person, though - not on social media.
He’s right and the media will continue to act like this is normal while telling us in every way, we are being taken over. Get used to it.
I LOVE "ready, steady, sweaty Ted" and his machismo comments on the state of our upside-down world (thanks to WE THE PEOPLE falling asleep to the sneaky socialists' agenda to take down our country from within). YOU GO, TED--PREACH IT LOUD AND CLEAR!
Pretty much see the guy as a Patriot, tbh. Maybe there is something I have missed over the years - KNOW he can be a bit radical - but a Nazi?
Nyet.
I put it down to all the "stuff" he used when he was a rocker. But his HEART is in the right place--he LOVES the U.S.A. I've traveled abroad (a bit) and I can tell you, after returning home to PA...I breathed a SIGH of relief and a prayer of gratitude.
Ted Nugent never did any "stuff". In fact, he was vehemently opposed to drugs and alcohol use. Sad you would make such a slanderous statement, when you obviously know nothing about the man.
I must admit I was basing it on comments made by a dear friend of mine who WAS a fan of his for many years. Mea culpa.
And Ted Nugent will continue to endorse police officers shooting unarmed fleeing suspects in the back instead of chasing them. Police officers shouldn't be allowed to be in Chris Christie's condition, but many of them are too fat to chase a suspect.
Biased view. Those fleeing and being shot shouldn't be where they shouldn't be doing what they shouldn't be doing and usually the police are returning fire after being fired upon. As in EVERY field there are bad actors however if you need help the police are the ones you call..and you don't interview them on their past history. You just want them to save YOU. IF the "justice" system was working correctly and giving consequences for the crime, and morals were taught at home, school and church, maybe just maybe, we wouldn't have the situation we are in. Our country has left the path of obeying LORD GOD and gone down the path of worshipping Satan. We each and every one need to change our ways and put LORD GOD first where HE belongs..repent of our sins as well as our ancestors sins and become humble before HIM
It was police who barricaded the streets in Hawaii and won't answer residents' questions. It was police who invited folks into the Capitol on January 6. It is police who stand by while terrorists burn this country down. It is police who arrest peaceful protesters who show up to say they don't like what's being done to them. It is police who remove parents from school board meetings for reading books like "Flamer" to the school board; it's okay for the kids to read those books, but it's offensive to read them to adults?
You can't trust the police.
You can't trust anyone in power. They have proven they're not to be trusted. Your safety is no one's responsibility but your own and the sooner you and everyone else wake up to that fact, the better chance you have of surviving what they have in store for us.
There should be a Love button, Like is too mild a term for how I feel about your comment.
AMEN!
Ha! So anyone doing anything criminal under 'the don't shoot 'em in the back' rule would only have to turn their backs to the police an walk away. This is as brilliant as defunding the police. And also, saves the public the expense of a court judge dismissing cases of criminals caught in the act and charged.
Shooting is not a civilized way to deal with crime. We have a law in this country that states we are to be treated as innocent until proven guilty by a court of law. Cops have many options for arresting suspects, shooting them is only justified if they or others are in imminent danger.
I'm sure you are a very nice lady. But I have a question for you:
What do you do when the barbarians are at the gate and there is no law?
What on earth makes you think I oppose law? Strawman winner of the day.
The barbarians breached the gates years ago. They have been welcomed with open arms by authorities.
✅️ and AMEN!
Ask yourself one question: what would happen to you if you shot someone in the back? If it is not OK for the people, it is not OK for cops.
Did it never occur to you that some people may run from cops because they have witnessed firsthand how corrupt they are? If your family member has been brutalized and/ or murdered by them, might you not also run rather than submit to the same? They plant evidence on innocent people, manipulate them into confessing to crimes they didn’t commit, they rape, rob and murder. Stop believing the TV about the nature and purpose of the police. It is not to protect the people. They exist to protect the elites and the state from the people.
Oh now don't be a party pooper.
V is a well know AI programmed evil bot. 😈 I would suggest that SBF may be programing the bot computer but reportedly he is without his. And that would be giving the gov propped puppet too much intelligence acumen.
Coffee Buzz kill.☕️☕️
Ted Nugent's party is imminently in need of being pooped on. He's just a Nazi.
Dear Vonu,
You’re down to less than 1% — you might want to plug-in an “intelligence-charger.” 🙄
Ted certainly has his moments (we all do)…but calling him a Nazi…really?
Arrogance and Stupidity Vonu — all in one package…how efficient of you.
Yep, the battery is running disturbingly low, obvs 😟🤭
Loved the Londo quote, one of my favorites from him.
I only hope in their stumbling around, they DO wake the dragon.
"If you do not bother them, they will not bother you."
I'd say that in going after the kids, they have bothered many...
My ad hominem detector is stuck at the top peg, so I'm going to ignore your so I don't have to unpeg it every time I click on a post from you.
Maybe you've seen a movie about the Third Reich where a man presents his "papers, please," and when agent says they are expired, runs away and is shot in the back by the agent. This scene replays in my mind every time I hear the name Ted Nugent. I'm tired of the replay and the ad hominem you attached to it.
Dear Vonu,
Does the January 6th Psyops “replay in your mind” knowing the entire event was conceived and executed by real “Fascists” — in our own Government? Does the Planned-Emic “replay in your mind” knowing full well it was another Government “Psyop,” or do these two legitimate examples of Fascism jump way-way-way over your head?
Ah, so a moooovie is what makes you "think" such, Vonu...well,you are apparently heavily influenced by film propaganda. This does not make your thinking very critical. Yeah, a bot for sure.
That was extremely lame. I'm sure you can do better. Get out your dictionary and look up the definition and get back with us when you have a clearer understanding. Cat Scratch Fever.......
Later Jay
Instant nazi label. Check. Next up racist label... then a various phobia label. Tired predictable plan.
I wouldn’t defend anything Nugent says but name calling is weak unless coupled with a thought out opposing response.
V forgot the "misogynist" label too.
Are the new scab on this sight. Leave and go back to your blind leaders
Don't go away mad, Vonu, just go away.
You just did, from my point of view.
What control over people did Republican Presidents assert? Who forced who into doing things they did not agree with?
The same ones that Democratic presidents did, unless you can refute the premise. All governments have always forced me into doing things I didn't agree with.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He went on to prefer strangleholds.
If you were forced to do things you didn’t agree with, then you are one who has NO integrity. So, buzz off little minion
Lol! Because cops shoot people in the backs every day. 🤦♀️
That's a pretty big judgemental paint stroke right there.
Maybe you should sign up for the job, lots of openings nationwide! I've heard the pay, the hours, and the working conditions are top notch.
He has written before that he "lives in a van down by the river."
And has internet there?
I just blocked & muted him/her.
Don’t want muddled wording cluttering up my Comment section.
How do you block or mute someone? There are a couple of posters on substack that I'd like to not hear from.
Paint with a broad brush much?
Come on folks, RE: Vonu, engaging with internet trolls is like wrestling with a pig. You both get dirty but the pig likes it.
His brush is both broad and wildly inaccurate. Like...the opposite of reality. The bizarro world broad brush.
He has FAR too much company, methinks.
Maybe I missed Nugent's advocacy for shooting fleeing criminals in the back. Do you have a link?
Really should demand a peer-reviewed study, not just a link.
If you require a peer-reviewed study, you should produce a replicated one of your own authorship, to prove your qualification.
Questions:
Were you once a horse? Did ever dream of multiple Ns floating in space?
WTF are "multiple Ns floating in space?"

The govt wants to "get you in a stranglehold baby - gonna crush your face".....ahhh, enjoyed a live show many moons ago featuring the poet, aka The Nuge.
Saw him perform in 2022 at the Thunderbeach motorcycle rally in PCB, it was freaking awesome. I never thought I'd see him perform live, and hear him do Stranglehold, and he was just as badass as he ever was. Kid Rock too. It was the most Patriotic American event I've ever been to. The crowd, WOW, even they were amazing.
Yep! Amazing crowd, have no doubt. He is a beloved rocker. Saw him at an outdoor stadium concert, all day, 5 or 6 acts, '78.
Swung across the stage on a vine, crowd was thereafter 'owned'.
Never saw him live. However, speaking as a rocker who came of age in the the 1970s, for my money one of the best live hard rock anthems of all time would be his version of "Great White Buffalo" found on 1978's "Double Live Gonzo" LP. Accept no substitutes. Ideally, played at volumes that melt the wax in one's ears.
In his youth, long, long ago, back in the Triassic, my friend crawled into Ted Nugent's speakers at concert, which gave him tinnitus. Now he has hearing aids, and despite being Progressive bought a gun as Detroit's last police chief's advice around rising crime was "pack". He doesn't regret the rock 'n roll though lol
He put on a great show; as did REO Speedwagon, Journey and Lynyrd Skynyrd. 70's rock , no comparison.
Ditto. I’ve been doing a lot “ditto” lately in comments. One because there’s no point being repetitive and two I can’t get him out of my head lately. Earlier today I got out of an appointment just before noon, looked at my watch and reached for the radio dial. Ooops.
Ok..after giving to Ray Smith....and seeing more and more news today about the scamdemic 2.0...here is me slowing turning up my 70's rock until it blocks out the dred. 🎧📼
And they'll make us pay for it.
🤬
got you in a stranglehold baby, you best get out of the way!
The Borg.
As we gear up for the flim-flam-demic 2.0 it is important to reflect on how much of a farcical fraud 1.0 was. SARS-CoV2 was and is dangerous to almost no one - and they knew it nearly from the the start:
https://tritorch.com/covidKillRate [image]
https://tritorch.com/CDCIFR2020 [image]
In September 2020, this was the CDC's best estimate for the COVID-19 Infection Fatality Rate:
Rate by Age Group:
0-19 years old: 0.00003
20-49 years old: 0.0002
50-69 years old: 0.005
70+ years old: 0.054
Meaning all of this carnage was based on a deliberate lie:
The masks ● the social distancing ● the lockdowns ● the economic and farming destruction ● the mental and physical health destruction ● the arrested development of millions of children ● the myriad of preventable suicides ● the bevy of new, rushed, barely tested, deadly vaccines
They had a practice run for this charade in 2009: https://youtu.be/Gs-DBOFWCpc [3.31mins]
"You're not supposed to know that all of your global "leaders" are working diligently to rapidly deteriorate your economy, society, security, and family because you'd be far less likely to go along with this charade if you knew you were just a gladiator in the Coliseum."
And yet - if you pointed out those numbers, from the CDC's own page, you were accused of wanting grandma to die. I remember trying to show people the facts early on and they just had no interest but wanted to trust in masks and arrows and social distancing and wait eagerly for the promised shots to save them. :(
Television is a helluva drug.
TV is literal propaganda brainwashing .
Yes. Read the small print on the drug commercials. LOL fungus on your perineum? (With explanations on just where that’s located)
I could have gone all day without seeing that..........
I’m sorry.
Yes!!! Who in their RIGHT mind would take these poisons after all the alarming disclaimers!!
1000% and they knew it from the start:
https://tritorch.com/degradation/TelevisionIsMindControlTheyKnewThisFromTheBeginningTelAVisionTruthstreamMedia.mp4 [33mins]
They know what they are doing with all the devices people own , including the IPhones. Don’t think all the weed stores in every other corner is helping .
Agreed. Give this a quick glance, NYTimes Brain Control With Flashes of Light, April 2014:
https://tritorch.com/degradation/NYTimesBrainControlWithFlashesOfLightApril2014.pdf
This rabbit hole is deep and pure evil.
My relatives bought a ‘smart’ tv and as soon as you turn it on the channel that initiates on default is CNN. I don’t want any ‘smart’ appliances. It’s bad enough to have a smart phone.
I heard a report that said a man had Amazon alarm/ home monitoring system in his home. A delivery person reported that he heard a racist remark coming from this man’s camera speaker. Amazon went ahead and locked the guy out of his house. It took him a week to clear things up as he wasn’t even home at the time the delivery person made his complaint) and to have his home unlocked by Amazon. These are strange times.
😱
Remember in th '60's when Newton Minow called it the "vast wasteland"--and that's when it was still "clean"!!
Maybe he meant the brain! What it does to the human brain.
No...but I like your "take" on his comment--LOL! Minow was the head of the FCC at the time and he was trying to make a point that television programming was pretty useless as far as "edifying" the watchers of it!
Those people would claim they "believe 'Science'" without being able to articulate what the scientific method is . . . was.
What they believed in was the Appeal to Authority, a logical fallacy.
Yeah - they "trust the experts". Sadly, even one of my relatively smart co-workers just turned over that thinking/questioning part of his brain because of the titles. I can't even think how many have bought the "wearing a mask traps the virus" argument, though at least some are now switching to "well, ya gotta wear an N95 masK" while completely ignoring fittings or ... that they don't work. (and of course, the N95 masks on people with full beards or that are just mangled to sorta fit the face with gaps everywhere - it's gotta work because it's an N95.... _sigh_ )
I tried in vain to explain to a friend that even an N95 mask wasn't going to keep her from getting sick. She said--and I think THIS is the crucial point--"I feel better wearing it." I gave up trying to explain about how N95 masks need to be fitted and you can't just wear them indefinitely. She wasn't convinced and told me sometimes she wears her mask at the gym. Forget science, let's go with "feelings."
A pacifier so to speak.
Bless her pea-picking heart.
Tennessee Ernie Ford
Gotta love that sort of argument. By all means, if you feel better doing something, that's cool - just don't pretend that it's going to do anything other than assuage your feelings. :(
It’s basically the equivalent of a lucky rabbit’s foot 🤷♀️
Exactly! Plus, they get to feel virtuously superior to those of us who aren't masked!
Again...we're working on "willfully ignorant sheeple" syndrome!!
The Cochrane Report put the mask issue in the grave. I can't believe people aren't pointing that out.
It should have, except the _editors_ of the journal put on the standard disclaimers to try to neuter the findings. I saw that there's an interview w/ one of the researchers who said flat out "masks don't work" in relation to viruses, but the interview is behind a paywall. :(
They also believed helping others, and being good citizens for the greater good to save the country, which they were told and convinced they were/are doing. All good things, but these values were hijacked heavily fueled with constant fear, a potent cocktail which caused and continues to cause serious harm.
Manipulation of good intentions became virtue signaling and virtual vigilante mobs guilty of (virtually) lynching people or at least taking away their livelihoods.
People were divided into two camps like Moses’ group and Pharaoh’s group. Each believed they were in Moses’ camp. Many virtue signalers still believe and follow their “science” Moseses or Messiahs.
“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”
--C. S. Lewis
I love that quote, so insightful and wise!
I’d like to put that quote about science on a bumper sticker.
Gearing up mentally for this. wondering if Oregon saved the " Have you accidently murdered someone today" billboards? 🙄
Someone should change the signs to say “OOPS we accidentally murdered someone today.”-Oregon Health Board and US NIH.
Haha yesssss
It's called WILLFUL IGNORANCE and authored by MINDLESS SHEEPLE...too difficult to use your brain--JUST FOLLOW THE ARROWS INTO HELL!
I had a conversation with a small business owner early on in the mask/distance pysop. It went something like this:
Her: "It's a shame that so many people are so afraid."
Me: "It is, but what is really worrying is how many people are PROUD to be afraid."
She never requested mask wearing or any of the nonsense at her successful business.
They teed it up in 2020 for the election to cheat w/ fear porn, distancing, limited #s of people in spaces, mail in ballots, ballot harvesting, etc & they’re teeing it up again for 2024
We KNEW this was coming! Yet, nothing has been changed. IF we have a 2024velection, Mail-in ballots will be the "deciding" factor...again.
And we all know it would happen.
*knew
Wow, I didn't know they actually posted the numbers that early in their scamdemic. That's just trolling.
I've come to think of all of this (covid, MMT, climate nonsense, trans/gay insanity, etc.) as a controlled demolition of the US. The biggest threat to the globalists' goals (sorry, Jeff, but the Republicans are globalists as well and 100% in on this) is a free, prosperous, armed American citizenry backed by the founding documents of this country. One can't help but notice those are the exact things the DNC and the GOP consistently attack, albeit in their own specific ways.
The CDC admitted in May of 2020 that the overall infection fatality rate (IFR) was 0.3% which is similar to the Asian flu of the late 50's and Hong Kong flu of the late 60's. Nothing done since was done for medical reasons as that IFR doesn't justify any intervention.
And 0.3% is still about 10x higher than actual. Even without removing all the illegitimate "covid" deaths from total (the deaths that were with covid not from, deaths 30 days after covid, deaths due to vax that were coded as "covid," and so on), I think the current best estimate is 0.03%. Remove the false positives and that would be cut in half or so.
The funny part is, the data out of Italy in late 2019 showed the same. It was basically the flu. But, like so many others, I initially doubted myself. I thought, well, I must be missing something. They must have info I don't. LOL.
They did have info I didn't: they are tyrannical sociopaths and they seem to know it and revel in it.
And let's not forget the fact that many deaths between the first jab and two weeks after the second jab were charged as covid deaths of the unvaccinated.
The "experts" intentionally polluted the data.
Those who know the difference between a numerator and a denominator in the risk / benefit analysis were mocked for "doing their own research."
Well...math is "racist" after all. Only the "experts" can do math without racial bias LOL.
Well said.
I think Jeff did a thorough job of explaining both sides, pro Trump/ pro DeSantis points of view.
Personally, My gut tells me that Trump is going to be embroiled in these legal battles for a very long time. It’s disgusting and wrong full stop.
It’s only for the fact that our country is going down in literal flames and we need a leader ASAP to harness the madness and put an end (if possible) to the blatant corruption in our government agencies. I want the prospective President to be able to take care of the business at hand unencumbered by the seemingly endless and evil political persecution that is happening to Trump.
One fact mostly all true conservatives and sane people in general can agree on is that It’s awful to watch this happen in America. 😔
A couple of thoughts:
1) it won’t matter who the GOP nominee is, the full force of the political war machine will be 100% aimed at that person.
2) from the time Trump walked down the escalator, the full force of the political war machine was aimed at him, including literal surveillance by actors working on behalf of the opposing campaign. Once in office, obstacle after obstacle: Russia! Russia! Russia! & the Mueller/Weissman investigation; Impeachment #1 - about which is the very scandal that Bob Peters, I mean Biden, is embroiled in, finally coming to light; Impeachment #2; and so on - many events that were intended to undermine his presidency. His military leaders lying about troops in Syria! His attorney general concealing the laptop from hell and lying about election issues! It was a coup in slow motion. Nevertheless, no new wars; drawdowns in military conflicts; prosperity; protection from invasion at the southern border. Attention and resources to combat human trafficking. Energy independence and at less cost than before or since. These are big wins. All while under attack. He is not superman, but I see no one else who has the stamina and clear thinking (never any drugs or alcohol) to deal with so much incoming and still get things done.
Steph D, Jeff does a good/thorough job on everything he does.
My opinion of existential threat(s) pretty much everything Coffee and Covid covers. I could list them, but at the moment not inclined.
Trolling is soooo on target. They rubbed anyone who was paying attention's nose in it. And then they just kept pushing and rubbing and now they're trying to do it all over again.
Agree. Just remember to not feed the trolls. When they come out with a response telling you are wrong, like you are not allowed to have your own opinion. Ignore them. Bless their hearts. 😄😉
Yes both parties equally responsible!
It's why I said long ago, 6 January should have been an armed protest. As in 30 or 40 thousand armed pissed of patriots that knew they cheated, representing at least 200 million Americans. Yeah that may have hot their attention. This upcoming election, it will be the cheaters against the patriots.
I hate the whole “killing grandma” jab excuse. Some grandmas are made of steel.. they had to be in order to make a life and not be offended by a dirty diaper.
In my area these same people accusing you of killing grandma abandoned theirs in the nursing homes. I know the lockdowns were awful but they didn't even try one bit.
Or took their grandma’s out just before ordering covid-positive patients INTO the nursing homes to kill other grandmas (and grandpas).
Tranny Levine
Definately. Most grandparents I knew are just like you: hard as a rock. The snowflakes of today have merely fraction of their grit and durability.
I’m a seasoned grandma who never isolated from our grands. They weren’t & aren’t granny killers. I do know a sweet youngun who was guilted into shots by her sister pushing the “so you’d be okay going to see __________ (grand names); exposing them & them dying?”
Me too! Never stayed away from grandkids the whole time and lived to tell about it. I did however feel like a felon on the highways with maybe 2 other cars in over an hours drive and constant signs saying STAY HOME. Gave me great anxiety and I Really don’t want to do it again!! 😭
That was targeting children’s psyches so schools would be closed.
It was heinous to do that to kids.
The PTSD inflicted on children who thought they would kill their grandparents or parents if they went to school or played sports is permanent. Depression and nihilism of 5-21 year olds.
Yes and let THEM decide what risks they wanted to take. Some people prefer to actually LIVE rather than cower in their homes for months or years because they *might* catch an illness. Don’t make children, especially, sacrifice their health and well-being for their elders.
👏👏😂
And it's still a secret that washing your hands, not touching your face is good practice. But, what overcomes all the rates is Vitamin D3 5000iu and Vitamin C 3000mg minimums, and if you'refeeling poorly jack up the dose, add zinc - it, will overcome comorbidities. Especially, the elderly, who are trapped in assisted living or nursing homes - never outdoors and weaker by the day. Forget the Fuu-Dee-Assine recommended values. They are useless.
Many don't do supplements because the cost isn't something they want to lay out, and many just can't afford the vitamins. It's a shame. And doctors know nothing about supplements but what Webmd tells them.

TriTorch, I was with you up to the gladiator in the Coliseum. Nothing as grand as that. How about a mouse in the testing lab? That’s much closer to the status of the average human.
That works. Despite all our rage we are still just rats in a cage - something like that.
Oooo, good one!
Later Jay
TriTorch--Thank you for the IFR. By any chance do you have that poll/survey where democrats and republicans were surveyed as to their perceived risk of dying if infected with SARS-CoV-2? As I recall, democrats thought their risk of dying was 50% and republicans were half that? Do you remember this survey?
Thanks
I certainly remember. It took some digging but I found one of those surveys:
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-misinformation-is-distorting-covid-policies-and-behaviors/
Democrats were further off than Republicans and more likely to overstate the risks to young people, even after accounting for age, race, gender, geographic, and educational differences.
Thank you, I saw some charts on Peak Prosperity, but couldn't find them. That's the problem with not having a good file system other than my memory. I live in Southern Oregon and misinformation is still governing behavior and thoughts dramatically noticeable in the D's.
Do you recall if Jeff covered this topic when that survey was published?
Unfortunately no, it was from December of 2020 and there has been a lot of water under the bridge since then.
Here is a massive library of COVID and other information which you can search with ctrl+F for keywords if you are interested: https://tritorch.com/degradation
The library badly needs organization, but the job is just too big to tackle at this point.
That's quite a library. I bet there is a similar library on the Biden Crime Family that if it were just properly organized Merit Garland could bring criminal charges.
Flimflamdemic! Love it!
Didn’t you mean the faucical fraud?
Boom! Good one!
“The cords of the wicked have encircled me,

Can someone who understands policy explain to me why there were roadblocks up in the first place keeping people in? Why would they not be trying to get everyone evacuated? This breaks my heart into a million pieces. I can imagine the fight between my husband and me and on this one...he's a rule follower and he would've wanted to follow orders, but ultimately after a lot of argument I would've won and we would've driven over whatever had to in order to escape. These poor people. It makes me so sad to think of them just doing what they were told and turning around and dying like that. What monsters that did this.
1) Burn down the assets
2) Use eminent domain to seize said assets
3) Build a 15-minute city owned and operated by the Democrat government of Hawaii, rent cubicles to the displaced plebes, and "save" the rest of the island for the private use of Bezos, Winfrey, Zuckie, and the rest of the billionaires.
I fear you are exactly right. Still the cruelty of turning people around and sending them back into a ball of fire....it takes me breath away. I can't imagine who could ever do such a thing. Orders or not.
Makes you wonder why when they could see it was death or disobeying….why anyone would’ve chosen to obey. Unfortunately the choice was clear. Same psyop as the jabs. Do what we say or you’ll die. Only it is actually do what was say so you will die. They are murderous evil criminals. I would’ve ran them over getting out. The brainwashing is real. 😞
Hawaii was very gestapo in their covid response, so it doesn't surprise me that with the fire, so many people complied with orders so visibly life threatening. Just total misplaced trust in government officials, yet again. The critical thinkers, the questioners drove through the roadblocks. And they saved their own lives by doing so.
Yes! It is very disheartening to see how many STILL complied to the govt blocking roads when they could see by staying they would most likely die. Good description of those who drove through the roadblocks. 👍🏻
Trusting and compliant.
they're remorseless, like killing ants to them; they'll sic the Natl Guard or Seals on you if they want to show effect. Has the DeepState Media debunked the "barricading" Big Lie yet?? Certainly it's a conspiracy theory foisted on us by anti-government kooks right?
It is...you hate to keep drawing everything back to Nazi Germany, but it reminds me of that movie where they're all sitting around a table to discuss what they're going to do about the "Jew Problem" as they called it. Extermination is what they said. It was bone chilling. They were talking about human beings and you could see there were only a couple of them in the room that it was even affecting talking like that. I just don't get why the other little ants haven't woken up yet? Their insistence on remaining sleeping is going to get us all exterminated.
Yes, now it's a human surplus problem, and millions believe that their fellow humans should be expunged or are resigned that even they should be terminated prematurely at some point in time. The Marxist Revolutionary leaders and masses all knew and believed fatalism was the rule. Hitler was jealous that his Nominal Socialists weren't nearly as devoted unto DEATH as the Bolsheviks and Soviet populations were. Nazi Leadership decided that ultimately the GERMAN people themselves were to be annihilated as they were unworthy and unable to achieve mastery over lesser peoples. Suicide en masse, practically begging for the A-Bombs to fall upon them.
I always say to these monsters, "You first!" But 'they' always refuse taking the lead in the Population Demolition Derby.
It's horrible.
They didn't have to kill all those people to raze the town for their ant farm. That's just pure evil.
Actually... they did. These people were resilient in their refusal to sell their properties to the govt or their patsies. And the government couldn't just take the land using eminent domain because the fair market value of this land was incomparable (and the government's basis for the land grab wasn't for a justifiable purpose). However... if these people are dead, their (likely off-island) heirs aren't nearly as invested in preserving/rebuilding the property, especially now that's it's a disaster site and open grave. Those heirs are far more likely to take whatever check the government strokes them to move on. And that's assuming these people have heirs... many don't (when the children are burned alive too).
The level of evil is breath-taking.
It sends a message. "We will get what we want, regardless." They want Lahaina to be a 15 min city and Maui to be the first SMART island. There were too many native Hawaiians with sacred, historical buildings that were protected by law. They just changed that law saying everything could be changed in light of a "natural disaster". So, they produced their "natural disaster". Getting rid of hundreds of "dissenters" was just a bonus.
Build Back Better ?
Build Back Better= bbb= 666
Exactly! Or in the old crude saying about such monsters, "Hurray for me and everyone else be damned!"
We have a similar saying DownUnder: ‘Blow you Jack: I’m alright’
Government malevolence. I’ve heard this describes as Hawaii’s 9/11 (including government involvement). After the past 3+ years & what our government did to us & this country (& continues to do), nothing surprises anymore
& turning other Hawaians away from helping after. Only Red Cross and fema. Despicable.
Heard FEMA is staying in $1000 a night hotels on other side of island too, while our government, which has ZERO difficulty handing out millions & billions of our tax dollars to corrupt Ukraine & ILLEGAL ALIENS, insults its own people w/ “recompense” of $700 after killing many & trying to kill more, first. Everything it does is diabolical & deliberate insult to the US citizenry to demoralize & crush spirits
I liked that some of the candidates made those billions to Ukraine a mention in last night's debate.
There are still plenty of neocon Uniparty ‘tards (including Pence & Mao Mitch) all in for Ukraine but for me, the DemoncRAT hard-on for all things Russia!-Russia!-Russia! & Putin since 2016 & the slavering for Ukraine had me against support for that war w/ no discernible US interest. Anything this demonic administration is FOR, I’m rabidly AGAINST
That's (probably) standard procedure in a crisis area. In such a situation, it's just common sense that you refuse entry to anyone not having legitimate business. In the first place, there is often actual danger, so sightseers are not welcome. I've personally experienced that, although nothing more sinister than as a tourist being waved away from a seaside resort area a few days after a major hurricane had struck.
In the second place, are the would-be looters and other miscreants. These are definitely not needed.
But prohibiting people from leaving? That I've never heard of.
I’ve the blessing of opportunity to listen to a lot of youtube and rumble vids of direct live and recorded “man on the street” type reporting from near Lahaina, by LOCALS. They are and were immediately helping each other, and got organized fast, even if ramshackle. They call it the Aloha spirit. Natives and residents of all types assessed and organized, and were receiving direct support, helping with communications, food, clothes... well before govt showed up.
💌
Same here. I just cannot understand why there were roadblocks in the first place? Who the heck put them there and for what reason? I would do whatever it took to get my family to safety in it included roadblocks, I would go around any day.
I know it. I think of how close we were to being caught up in this (we were on the big island when it hit and had a fire 15 miles north of us - but all fires on the big island were put out). We were scheduled to go to Maui that weekend, but cancelled it. The crazy thing is I am hearing the tourists at the resorts were evacuated. So why did they get to leave but locals were forced to stay?
You can’t buy land from tourists. But it’s a lot easier if the owners are dead.
😔
"buy?" LOL.
When we went back to visit in 2018, the marked increase in homeless clusters along the coastline up to Lahaina was crazy to see. I wonder if the number of those missing is even bigger because they don't know who else was caught up in the mess that weren't officially part of town?
I bet you're right...I find it horrific that there are still thousands missing. I didn't know Lahaina had turned out like that (haven't seen it since 2006, so this would've been our first time back). But we did see Oahu this trip and there was a huge homeless population there. Ugh, now I'm wondering what's planned for them :-(
😔 I pray they have their wake up call rung loud and clear and start ousting their local guvies but I suspect they won't do anything to change things either.
Amazingly covid didn’t eliminate the homeless like “they” planned.
Come to think of it, maybe their vitamin d levels saved them since they’re outside all the time 🤣
I was in Lahaina May of this year and only homeless were a few under the Banyan tree, all very respectful to tourists.
Jenn I too was left deeply rattled at the barricades. Has there been any pressers where this has been addressed. It makes zero sense other than our speculations- demise. Interestingly it begs to ask what would we do - and aren’t we yet again on the verge being told what to do by the gov’t - yet it is NOT for our life saving well being. My summation is the obvious DO NOT COMPLY. ❌ 😷 ❌ 💉
So awful. What a horrendous example of when government fails, it's citizens suffer terribly.
At this point, I'm not sure I'd say the government is "failing". These monsters are achieving exactly what they have been planning. So to them, it's hugely successful.
Can't have witnesses. Tourists could spread the pictures they took, video, etc back to the mainland. And then the murderous elitists would be exposed. No, Can't have that.
You are exactly right!
I have read that it took the gov't THREE HOURS to even give permission to the fire department to use water to put out the fires as well. The expensive new sirens they had somehow managed to NOT work at all (even after being tested recently)...lots of suspicious stuff going on...
They have their lame excuses for not sending out the siren warnings - but remember ‘they’ had no problem with widely warning, via text message I believe, the fake N. Korea missile attack several years ago. It seemed EVERYONE got that message!?
Five hours. It took 5 hours.
Lots and lots of suspicious stuff - and why did the fires all start around the same time? The whole thing stinks. Something is wrong here.
5 hours, actually.
Yeah, I read that too. That the policies were about "balancing water needs..."
Yeh Jenn! Something about “equitable” distribution. You can’t use agriculture destined water to put out wild fires. I was floored by that. We are living in a clown world - only it’s the scary clown, not the happy clown. On second thought, all clowns are pretty terrifying....
Always go with your gut. Don’t let police run your life in a natural disaster situation.
EVIL! malfeasance
From what I read, there were downed wires.
Would those matter if you were in a vehicle with rubber tires? 🤷♀️
You are assuming people told to put the road blocks up know about electricity and conductivity and are willing to break rules.
A key factor in our abusive outcomes is that we do not think critically and most do not recognize that the rules are not made to help us by people that know how and would actually help us.
Rule breakers have the extreme upper hand in 2020-2023+ America. Why? Because following the rules gets you harmed or killed.
I watched a video of a father who was told to turn around. He refused, backed up and cut through several folk's yards to get to safety. No one followed him....they turned around and were forced to drive into the fire...
oh my goodness, that's just heartbreaking to think about. They are such trusting and good souls over there. What an awful thing that was done to them.
Separating the wheat from the chaff, so to speak. Weeding out the critical thinkers from the compliant masked masses.
Awful!!!
So true, and we are rapidly learning this lesson. It still hurts my heart though because most rule followers are such kind and good people (I'm not talking about mask idiots or 7x boosted folks here though).
True. So many people forget to 1. Stop 2. Take a breath 3. (And this is the important one) Think.
Rules should be obeyed, but there are times to break them. Would you prefer to be stuck in a multi-mile backup on the interstate, or would your risk a moving violation by driving on the median? I don't make a habit of that, but that's exactly what I did many years ago. I was driving an AWD SUV. I did it cautiously...kids were playing on the grass some places. I wasn't cited, but I had a ready excuse: a passenger who required medication that, if not taken on a strict schedule, could have severe consequences to her. By all means officer, arrest me, but did you know that....?
Other times, not quite as legitimate, like last week, when I was stuck in a slightly smaller (unusual) backup on a divided highway. The median was passable, no oncoming traffic...check...illegal U-turn.
Rules only work when most people obey them and, especially, if the ruling power actually enforces them impartially. Those days are gone, and I doubt they're coming back anytime soon. At some point, I'm sorry to convey the bad news, you're actually a chump if you follow the rules.
But none in the road...read further! There were ZERO lines in the roadway...
The mansions that had trendy blue roofs are still standing. How’d they know to get a blue roof?
Anything blue was still standing, cars, umbrellas, etc. https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=pfbid0tgonEdiQ8GRfC6p2J7qkDJ3kYxXcM8c7XFaaANeKiq8eGmhbXK7uvN8KMNEyVM6Tl&id=100089885598035
Not sure about this claim. Heard yesterday that blue cars burned... How would it skip over some blue things and not others? There is so much we do not yet know....
the same mind of cutting firelines on the West side, BEHIND the fire in East Troublesome CO, where reverse 911 worked about 70-80%, where they were lucky to only have 2 people incinerated and NOT 1,000+. Where the entire EM force, the Town of Grand lake and thousands evacuating down a single highway was barely spared only due to the wind direction and the door to door action by the EM force. NO National Guard in action due to CoVid Deployment.
Jen, Here's a start as waking up takes time....The Maui chief of police hired just last year was previously part of the Las Vegas police department investigating the Vegas shooting. The investigation was quickly closed. The officers that closed the Maui roads were just following orders.
Twin tower #2 made an announcement while tower #1 was burning that all was fine and to remain in their offices. My friend, ignored the warning and got out. He is alive and well today. Many are not.
CHop, there is an excellent book called “102 minutes” by Jim Dwyer that reveals first-hands truths about what happened beginning at 08:46am on 9.11.2001.
Because the powers that be in Hawaii clearly wanted people dead. If not, they obviously would have let them get out my any means possible.
Why do they want them dead? Because they are evil. When one is evil, they do things we can't understand.
Reminder tptb had no problem alerting islanders via text of the fake N. Korea mission attack several years ago. Why not this time?
Putting up barricades under orders from the top. Sounds similar to forcing the jab to murder as many people as you can ‘legally’ accomplish.
Why WAS the FBI there ???
The information we're getting leads me to believe it was deliberate. I hate to say that, but I see what they did to us with COVID and the shots. That was deliberate.
I think the rational conclusion is that NO ONE SHOULD DO ANYTHING THE GOVERNEMENT TELLS THEM TO if they value their lives and enjoy breathing.
That is good advice for us all. I think I'm going to be more vocal this time around and actively speak out against it when people suggest things...like when they're virtue signaling and saying things like "oh we should all take precautions and get our boosters" I think I'll actually say "why? Because it worked so well stopping us from getting covid the last time?" We have to not be afraid to speak up.
You have to not be afraid to speak, but you also need to understand that speaking can get you in a lot of trouble, especially the way things are going now. I am not advocating silence. I'm saying, "Pick your battles."
IDK, but heads better roll over it.
Heads never seem to roll, most especially when they are D heads.
Creative Destruction is their middle name. This Marxist mind set is all about killing, terrorizing, maiming, looting, mind control, endless lying, etc. ... all to achieve a total compliance. That Nugent quote said it all.
I cannot imagine telling people to turn around and head towards the fires. But these monsters?
Maybe they were there to keep people out, not in, but with no sign on them to tell those trying to exit to go around? It sounds like some at least may not haven been staffed, so there would have been no one to wave the people out, but tell anyone coming in to go back. For any that were staffed, it makes zero sense from our perspective.
Yes! And who did this?? I mean what individual person would deny a safer road and turn people back to danger?!? I don’t care under whose orders!
Loved your comment, Jen. The same happened on 9-11. Everyone in the buildings below the floors where the planes hit had two options: (1) stay in place and wait for rescue, or (2) try to get the hell out. I read that when people called 911 to ask what to do, they were told to do option (1) and stay in place and wait for rescue. Everyone who did stay in place died. Everyone who ignored the government orders and ran down the stairs survived.
Years later, in about 2012, I was in a San Francisco hotel when the fire alarms went off and a voice came on over the intercoms telling everyone to please stay in their rooms. Remembering the 9-11 story, I immediately resolved to do the opposite. I ran out into the hall and found the halls deserted with all the fire doors closed, I burst through those doors, ran down the stairways to the emergency exit where there was a red sign saying that exiting through the emergency doors would set of alarms. I didn't care & just hit the red bar and burst out into the outside sunshine and made my way to a coffee shop. In the end, there was no fire, but there was no way I was going to just sit in my room waiting for further orders.
The same monsters that created c19 and forced deadly jabs on the people.
Presumably it would be to either keep people from going into worse areas, or to keep access/egress lanes clear for emergency vehicles.
Presumably.
As a personal acquaintance of someone who is being charged for his participation in the Jan. 6 protest in DC, and of another person who is being prosecuted in the Michigan alternate slate of electors case, I can understand that many people would support Trump even if he were convicted, since convictions in politically-motivated prosecutions don't necessarily mean a person is an actual criminal.
I am going to vote Trump even if I have to write his name in with blood (because the ink from the pens doesn't work). We need the wrecking ball/bull in a china shop. And this comes from a man that grimaced while listening to the Tucker/Trump interview last night. Haven't heard a full speech in several years. His personality and credit taking for everything and over simplification with judgemental takes on people and issues is difficult at best to listen to. But what he did as a leader cannot be denied. And what anyone from the establishment did/will do cannot be denied. So it's gotta be Trump to save the country from a hot revolutionary war.
Vivek praised what he (Trump) did as President last night to Christie at the debates. Vivek is oozing with non politician integrity. He is super articulate and fast too. Christie made fun of him for that. Ugh.
From an email from the Vivek campaign:

I hear you. But also this...https://twitter.com/patmcguinness/status/1694217510030319794
Vivek says a lot of things and the only consistent thing is that his views evolve rapidly based on his audience.
That is exactly it James. You nailed his flaws and I feel the same but he is the best leader we have had for our country since Reagan.
Exactly. You need look no further than WW2 and the Cold War to understand that political prisoners aren’t automatically criminals.
Also the actual criminals either don’t get charged or are given a slap on the wrist.
Like Antifa, BLM, other various rioters, or violent illegals whom ICE will not deport, or whom leftist judges, prosecutors, etc. refuse to turn over to ICE. I also have an acquaintance whose daughter died as a result of a repeat offender illegal drving drunk.
Exactly.
And there are so many stories like that of your acquaintance 😞 It’s unconscionable.
I didn't want to watch the debate, but my boyfriend really wanted to watch it... The last thing I want to see is good (and bad) GOP candidates slinging mud at each other for the next 10 months, but that's what will happen, and it will help the Dems. I never bought DeSantis fans's argument that Trump couldn't win in 2024, or at least that a GOP nominee DeSantis would fare any better. Why? The 10 months of mudslinging necessary for Trump to not be the nominee. DeSantis always had as much chance to beat Trump as Ukraine had to beat Russia. It's a shame because he could have waited 4 years, let all of these other candidates make clowns of themselves and been the obvious GOP nominee in 2028. If I was a FL resident, I'd be happy that he didn't have a stellar performance last night.
With that said, Vivek and Nikki were the obvious standouts. I'm curious at what other people thought about the foreign policy 'exchange' between Nikki and Vivek. Imho, Nikki's hysterical screeching was not a good look. She lost control of her emotions and said "He wants China to eat Taiwan". It wasn't presidential.
Also, I'm not one of those people who think we are facing an existential crisis. I thought that in 2008, and we survived 8 years of Obama. I thought that in 2021 during the vaccine rollout. Vaccine passports were a conspiracy, and then they were rolled out. Civil disobedience (and SEC football fans) saved our country and we'll do it again. Half of Gen Z and Millennials think the planet will be uninhabitable 10-15 years due to global warming. Buying into fear porn is self destructive.
The problem with Nikki is she's a chameleon. She changes policy with the wind as it blows money and power to and from her. She's more a part of the establishment than most, pure RINO out for power and willing to sell out.
Nikki is a neo-con warmonger.
YES!! You practically see blood when she seethes with neocon war mongering hate.
Exactly! Nikki the Vampire!
Slick, Neo-Con, totally military industrial CIA complex establishment. Her jive is brilliantly crafted to suck in the many who fall all over it. Nothing new here except the updated rap.
Yes, she's a female version of Marco Rubio.
And a dedicated war monger.
Exactly!
I don't think any Republican candidate can get elected at this point. The Dems and the machine they have built, will cheat and cheat and cheat until they get the outcome they desire. There is absolutely NO WAY they let DJT back in the White House. I will gladly vote for Trump or Desantis (but to be honest, I don't think I would vote for any of the others) but I would be lying if I didn't admit to a certain amount of fatalism.
Remember vote at local level can make a difference - there is power there from school boards to governors ( ok except in WA state).
I agree. I don't see how a GOP POTUS candidate can win in 2024 unless millennials start shifting on their voting preferences. I'm in a bright red state, so my state's electors will go to the GOP nominee. For purple states, the problem with exposing the Deep State, swamp, and cheating is that it reduces GOP turnout.
With that said, the GOP will likely win the Senate next year.
And maybe just straight up divided government is the best we can hope for.
There are some (not necessarily here, but in darker corners of the conservative blog-o-sphere) who say that the collapse is the solution. In other words, yes, the system is probably beyond reform via the political process. Alas, that only leaves, shall we say, more messy options? I'm a bit of a cynic, but I don't follow politics all that closely. As said, it's mostly mud-slinging and kabuki theater at this point. Tweddledee and Tweedledum.
At the national level, yes, I agree with you.
I thought Nikki Haley stood out for her screeching, interrupting and talking over the other candidates. She’s a RINO, a Neocon and didn’t complete the great job that President Trump generously gave her as UN Ambassador. I would never vote for her! #Trump2024
I didn’t like the men vs women comment. I would rather have a confident well qualified person for President than voting to have a woman because she is a woman.
I thought that Vivek was brilliant on many topics. I love my Governor but agree that timing wasnt right. I never liked Haley on foreign policy..she is a brainwashed neocon.

I like a lot of what he says. However, he is Hindu, so when he says God is real, his god is not my God. Also, he reminds me of a Republican version of Obama, good looking, well spoken... but slippery.
He said that he believes in Judeo-Christian values. That is a lot more than the pseudo Christians like Biden and demon following demoncrat friends. Just saying. (I admit that he being Hindu would have bothered me decades ago, but the fake Christian atheist pagans have become so evil these days that it no longer does.)
I do worry about that as well. Well spoken often means slippery. lol Look at Newsom too
I watched the Tucker/Trump interview. The other attemptees don't have a chance and most of them are major losers real-time! Pence is such a traitor that his claim of "I had no right to send the questioned votes back to the states" was undone by Congress actually REMOVING that "right" that he didn't have. Nikki is a major RINO Neocon. DeSantis is my governor, but he is not presidential material - no way, no how....plus, he's supported by establishment big money which is what brought us the Deep State corruption to begin with. Are you KIDDING me? Have we learned NOTHING? As for Hutchinson and Christie......crickets. Not worth the time to notice.
We used the same word to describe Haley's yelling over Vivek when it was Vivek's turn to speak: screeching. I used in a comment on a friend's FB post, where he linked to that clip. So glad I didn't watch the so-called 'debate.' The format stinks, and there should be no live audience, as they act like they're in a low-class TV show audience, doing their own shrieking and interrupting. I'm embarrassed to think of all the foreigners watching it.
Go Dawgs!

For those who can afford it, I would like to suggest a second Operation Multiplier for CJ Hopkins, who is facing 60 days in jail or a 3,600-euro fine for two tweets courtesy of New Normal Germany. He just published details about his case and Legal Defense Fund this morning:
• https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/the-road-to-totalitarianism-part
• https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/my-legal-defense-fund
I wrote a Note (https://substack.com/@margaretannaalice/note/c-38899653) about it with additional details:
“The @CJ Hopkins case is the equivalent of the Assange case for satirists. If Germany succeeds in imposing this Sophie’s choice of a 60-day incarceration or 3,600 euros fine for TWO BLOODY TWEETS, that is the end of satire as we know it—at least in Germany and other countries that have weaponized ‘hate’ speech laws against those courageous enough to expose the authoritarian practices of their governments. For daring to draw valid historical comparisons with present-day policies and trying to STOP the advance of fascism, CJ is being charged with furthering ‘the aims of a former National Socialist Organization.’
“Anyone who has read even a single column by CJ knows the opposite is emphatically the case, as is made crystal-clear in my Dissident Dialogues interview (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/dissident-dialogues-cj-hopkins) with him from last year.
“I have written repeatedly about the weaponization of the ‘anti-semite’ label to silence dissidents because it is such a danger to those seeking to expose totalitarianism and has been used to crush innocents like poor Clemens Arvay (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/requiem-for-a-smear-victim-clemens) and threaten credible scientific voices like Prof. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/profiles-in-courage-prof-dr-sucharit).
“We must stand with CJ just as we must stand for Assange (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/ode-to-a-whistleblower / https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/ode-to-a-whistleblower-video-tribute) as their persecution is not only about the vilification of innocents for daring to speak out but threatens the future of satire, journalism, and free speech for all human beings on this increasingly tyrannical planet.”

This is insane. Europe is insane. I think I understand the degree to which everything has been corrupted and then I hear a story like this. Will check out his Substack. He's been a great voice during Covid despite the differences in some of our political views.
I completely agree about the insanity, NAB, and thank you for checking out his Stack! His hysterical book, “The Rise of the New Normal Reich,” is a good way to catch up on his COVID columns and support him, too.
Great idea! And I can always use a new book for my Covid collection :) I know so many people want to move on from it, but I refuse until there is a widespread acknowledgement of the harm done.
In that case, you may be interested in this new collection that just came out (including an essay by me :-)

Bless you, Susie & Security! You are in for many wincing belly laughs :-) Our Dissident Dialogue was riveting if you have time to peruse our lengthy discussion:

Sorry but he is a leftist and choose to live there - unless he moved there and stays there due to a German spouse - not what he said in a recent interview... I know enough about the German an EU mentality where dissent is not allowed!
You mean the kind of leftist the left calls a conspiracy-theorist-anti-vaxxer-fascist-Putin-Nazi-right-wing-extremist? The kind of leftist who celebrates populism, mocks TDS sufferers, and lambastes the authoritarian left at every opportunity? That kind of leftist? :-)
He moved to Berlin almost two decades ago when it was a *very* different place. To their credit, he and his wife decided to stay and fight. His wife has a business there, and they can’t afford to just uproot everything. That said, it does sound like he’s planning to apply any surplus from his legal defense fund to his “Get the Hell out of Germany” Fund (https://cjhopkins.substack.com/p/my-legal-defense-fund).

ETA 🗨 leadership /ˈliːdəʃɪp/, noun: • the action of leading a group of people or an organization. • the state or position of being a leader. • the leaders of an organization, country, etc.
🗨 What is the best definition of leadership? Leadership is a set of behaviours used to help people align their collective direction, to execute strategic plans, and to continually renew an organization.
My guess is that Prigozhin was assassinated by the CIA., not Putin.
I have a hard time believing that the Swamp(who control the voting results) will allow any results that we would want. They have committed so many crimes that they can't loose now.
Hell hath no fury like a CIA which has been humiliated and fleeced out of billions of dollars.
But to tell you the truth, I kind of hope they got tricked again and he was secretly on a different plane.
If he was on a different plane I would feel better about the repercussions. Putin didn't do anything that I know of about the pipelines or the other Russians that have been assassinated, the fact that he is silent now is making me think some 'westerners' are going to suffer polonium poisoning. Since Wagner was becoming so popular in Africa I can imagine some of the illegal(but praised by progs) border crossings from Mexico to US will be from Africans sympathetic to Wagner and eager to bring some chaos across the border while collecting their $2200/mo payments.
Smok'in hot !
Later Jay
The $2200/mo is infuriating. Now wonder they are hopping the fence in droves. Disability pay from SSA for an American citizen runs $1,800/mo.
Makes me want to kill someone. But I won’t let this evil world rob me of my salvation.
If the CIA can kill JFK right in front of our faces, killing Prigozhin is easy.
They can also lie and stage deaths pretty easily. I can think of quite a few ostensible deaths that I don't necessarily believe. Epstein for one. El Chapo.
I was wondering the same thing.
I was thinking that too, but I just saw an article in the WSJ that they're saying now he was assassinated. And they appear to be blaming Russia. Is this like when we said Russia blew up their own pipeline?
I heard that Biden is accusing Putin too, but why in the plane like that then? I saw some video apparently showing the burning plane falling out of the sky. It looked like it was on fire inside of the plane, who knows if the video is real. If Putin wanted him dead I doubt he would kill a bunch of other russians, Putin seems aware of the perceptions of the Russian people and eager to stay popular, unlike 'Western' leaders who don't care what anyone thinks because it doesn't matter, they control election results. Even Libs I talk to acknowledge it happened in AZ but say it was necessary to avoid Lake, and they will accept it again especially for Trump.
And that right there is the issue...liberals are "ends justify the means" - they hate Trump so badly (and Kari Lake) because of what they've been told by the media (elites) that they are willing to throw away all of our constitutional rights and freedoms. That is just wrong and sick. I don't think that we should give them a pass anymore. Liberals are going to have to learn to play by the rules. Or we have to get better at cheating and show them what that feels like (and I'm not a fan of lowering ourselves like that, but I have no idea how else to correct this backwards thinking of ends justify the means)
It seems like they don't even think about the problems with having a 'Democracy' that has is controlled for their benefit. They actually feel like it's a benefit to all to have 'freedom' that is dictated by their woke leadership. After all, they call it "free-dumb'. They prefer people be free to do what they are told is allowed.
The people that know and accept that conservatives are unfairly treated seem to require that they be told what to do, so they can do it and be judged in a favorable way, sort of like a religion. Unfortunately, I think woke AI will replace judgement by God for most libs. They are unable to comprehend why that's a problem.
That is going to be downright terrifying to watch. They're already programmed so I guess it makes sense that they'll worship AI. Although I have noticed with most liberals (that I know anyway) they'll crow about how everyone should follow the rules (and post on FB incessantly about it) and then turn around and break the rules themselves. Rules for me and not for thee. They're as bad as the elites they worship.
Only the rules THEY decide are important 🙄
I have decided that when leftists start raging about conservatives taking away their “reproductive rights” or the “right to gay marriage” I’m going to turn their own tactics back on them and roll my eyes and say “muh freedoms.” Since that’s what they always seem to do when we are concerned about our 1st or 2nd amendment rights or our rights to bodily autonomy being taken away. I want to see their faces when I say that 😆
I like the attitude, although I think I am going to be a little more harsh when given the opportunity. On the reproductive rights - I might be shifting my feelings. When I think about it maybe it would be good to MANDATE that libtards get an abortion. My first thought is of the innocent children, but the geneticist in me says when you breed a tumbleweed with a dandelion you don't end up with a rose. We live in a new world, most of those kids are going to grow up to be human garbage, why not let their parents throw their remains in the trash?
Opposition to abortion might be why lefties did so well in the midterms last year too. I say let them CHOOSE to kill their kids if they want, some independents might vote for our side.
I saw 2 videos of the supposed plane where one was on fire, but the other one wasn’t. I saw the one on fire later in the day and just thought that was weird.
I wonder where they get all these videos? I don't really trust them, the one I saw looked real, but who was on it or when it crashed is anyone's guess. It's frustrating to know we don't know what happened and probably never will. If Prigozhin was on a plane that fell out of the sky on fire, the CIA is still my first suspect.
Also Wagner was flying 2 planes out of Moscow the same time and Russia has said that the 2nd one did land. I would think that if he was on the 2nd plane they would have said so unless he’s still actually in Africa. Or he wasn’t on it but they haven’t said anything yet. I’m going to keep my mind open until I see more facts.
I thought the same!
"Let’s wait a few days and see what shakes out."
There you go, talking sense again!
"As for me, I’m wondering: where was Hilary Clinton yesterday?"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"I don’t know enough to know the answer.”
Biden should use that for his campaign slogan in the upcoming election race.
Sam strikes me as the type of Vegan that primarily eats French fries and potato chips, plus the occasional baked potato with vegan butter and cheese. In my observation, there are quite a few vegans and vegetarians that don’t actually eat any green or colorful vegetables or even salads. They are primarily Potato A Tarians
I have a vegan friend who lives on pasta, bagles, and donuts. Actual vegetables? Not so much. She's terribly overweight and otherwise unhealthy, but yeah, she's vegan.
True, the ones I know live on bread and pasta also, or any type of noodle, like ramen soup seems to be a staple. Maybe the name should be White Carb A Tarian rather than potato a tarian !
True! 👏👏👏😂
Just as in the world trade center collapse, the Maui evacuation supports the concept of the wisdom of the crowd. In a crisis, follow your own instincts and disobey the experts.
I hate to say it, but that moment when the candidates were asked if they would continue to support Trump "if he were convicted in a court of law," when DeSantis hesitated and looked around at the others, and finally slowly raised his hand when he saw that Ramswamy had raised his, was an extremely bad look. I predict that DeSantis' polling numbers will take a palpable hit, which they can't afford.
My wife and I totally disagreed on Trump. I thought he was weak and unfocused, but she thought he was strategically trying to not appear angry and unhinged in order to perhaps better appeal to moderate voters. Now I agree with her. I'm too much of a hot head. There are no clips in the Trump debate that his enemies can take out of context (like the very fine people hoax) and use to paint him as unhinged or dangerous. Overall, Trump easily won the night. As somebody who very much wants DeSantis to succeed, somebody should have advised him to please, PLEASE wait until 2028, lest he completely lose his future viability by not being ready for the national spotlight at this very dangerous hour.
I watched most of the interview and I love PDT and the vast majority of what he did as President, but, dear Lord, listening to him still drives me up a pole.
I have trouble with my disjointed thoughts messing up my speaking ability, but he makes me sound like Cicero.
He certainly is no orator, that is for sure. His command of the English language is poor... but then neither is fMr. full of malarky, Biden.(atleast nowadays) Bush was pretty bad to listen to as well.. American politicians sound so bad compared to British politicians. One of the problems for some of them might be that they cant just let go because of worrying if they will offend this one or that one. The only one who compares to the British orators is Vivek! Wow..so quick thinking and speaking and articulate.
VERY fast on his feet and so articulate. Brilliant!
Just an opinion in progress at this point but Trump was tame and didn’t say anything new or profound. Vivek may have worked his way into a VP slot if Trump is the nominee. Too many ifs ands or buts at this point and I’m still trying to figure out which are real human beings and which are purely political animals minus a soul. New song in the works .. “send in the clones”.
As I was walking my dog this morning, a wonderful thought occurred to me: What if Vivek is the vice-presidential nominee and he gets to debate Kamala?!!!
That would be something to look forward to. 😅
He would totally destroy her 😆😁
And don’t get overwhelmed by the orator part. They can knock your socks off with their wordsmithing but lie and mislead in the process. Before you know it you’ve been bamboozled.. by global elite minutia of the AI kind.
Agree, but he isnt beholden to the oligarch money and special interests.
😆 Well (and humorously!) said. I like a lot about Trump but he is often far too stream of consciousness for me.
It was shocking how bad the GOP debate was. The “moderators” weren’t in control and I felt most of their questions were very biased. They focused too much on Trump (in a negative way) I believe hoping he would be blasted by the candidates and most took the bait. Nikki Haley, Pence, Christie, DeSantis, Hutchison...what a pathetic group of RINO losers!
And then to give Christie the UFO question in the lightning round! We were rolling 🤣
That was hilarious
I agree the questions were far too much focused on Trump and trying to pit people against him.
Definitely! Typical Fox!
Just looking to create drama 🙄 Like a Real Housewives episode or something 🙄
I ALSO felt that was a very bad moment for Desantis. There are some things I like about him but that left a VERY bad taste in my mouth- looking around then raising his hand - clearly disengenuine. NOT GOOD!!!!! That also won my vote for Vivek if Trump doesn’t get the nomination.
I appreciate that you're staying apolitical at this point but DeSantis is not the leader in the primary by any means. The only person that shined last night was Vivek and he will not be the nominee unless they take Trump off the ballot.
I'm really really bummed that Gov D f'd this up so bad. He was a shoe-in for 2028.
Now he's barely 2nd place with Vivek out-shining everyone.
I agree! DeSantis should have waited. He’s a great Governor but the atmosphere is too volatile at the moment. Now I’m afraid he blew it.
He needs to get back here and get to work.
Vivek was on 🔥!
Totally. Here's a quick clip of DeSantis getting owned by Vivek. It sucks it's playing out this way.
https://twitter.com/TAftermath2020/status/1694537507399180365 (90 sec vid)
And there was Nikki saying she supports sending more money to Ukraine. 🤦🏼♀️ nail in coffin in my book.
When she played the race and woman card, I knew there was no chance for her.
A short while ago she required vax cards for one of her speeches (fund raising event), I haven’t forgotten that.
Jan, Feb, not that long ago..,
I’ve never liked her to begin with but for sure a nail in the coffin. The there was the guy from Arkansas who said he would not support Trump if he won the nomination! Another nail! GRRR.
He’s just another turncoat.
She’s been very disappointing, I thought she did well in the UN (at least compared to who we had before) but she’s shown herself as a RINO with no firm conservative principles. Very squishy, no backbone 🙄
Ugh, was Pence just so annoying there?! “He’s referring to me, he’s referring to me.” He tried to make everything about himself and just came off so whiny and aggressive. And Christie! Whew, lawd! He acted like a kid who had his lunch money stolen one too many times. Just insufferable.
Bring on the Donuts for Garden State Lizzo! 🍩🍩
Those two are the worst of the group. Can’t stand either of them!
I was on the edge of my seat and way past my bedtime! But definitely worth the time spent! 🔥🔥
This clip was probably my favorite part for Vivek! He absolutely was on fire! And he gets it. Interview after the debate he commented about the funds “going” to Ukraine were being funneled back into politicians hands. The #1 reason we should not be “sending” funds
All part of the plan Brother.
Later Jay
Really.. WHO is Vivek? Another out of nowhere candidate. I’m skeptical, as usual. Thinking back to 08
I actually like him A LOT. More than I thought I would. I also heard a video of him talking politely calmly and pursuasively to an LGBTQ woman who wanted her concerns addressed. It was powerful and a great example for a leader.
Here it is if anyone wants to see.

I 100% agree on 2028. I wouldn't count him out though. He'll still have 2 more years as Gov of FL.
Florida needs DeSantis. He ain’t ready yet.
DS too flippy floppy. If he's going to be supported with Big Money, it should be only on his terms.
You don't get big money donors when it's on your terms. Just look at Biden.
I didn’t watch the debate (no more Fox for me), but all I’ve heard about DeSantis is that his new campaign mode is screaming out his message…not a great tactic. The picture Jeff included today seems to verify that.
I didn't watch either. I can't stand anyone that stage. They should be standing with Trump considering the political persecution will come for them next (if their legit)
A few did. Vivek praised his leadership. I dont remember who, one of them, said we shouldnt be doing this to political adversaries, and Vivek spoke up to Trump hating Christie really well.
Yeah but that's not enough. Trump is 50 points higher than anyone else and they should all be stepping aside and supporting him. They stole his last presidency and should not be allowed to do so again. If we had some unity in our party, we'd never have these issues.
🤷 Agree, but for the first time in a long time, we see some refreshing faces who have basic and good Judeo-Christian/real American values on both sides: Vivek and RFK Jr.
That in itself is something that makes me smile. I think Trump was a great President but the others also have integrity and logic (and are a bit more respectful and mature than Trump vis a vis those they disagree with.)
They're
Jeff summed up DeSantis's appeal among the rank and file well, but that's not why the GOP money men support him. They don't support him because he's electable and Trump isn't, in fact it's the exact opposite. They support him because they are worried Trump is electable.
The GOP money men love neocon unending wars and "free trade" (snicker) because it's making them rich. Trump turning the party isolationist and protectionist (in other words America First) threatens their bottom line. It's pretty simple.
I was willing to give DeSantis the benefit of the doubt about these associations because unlike Trump, he isn't rich. He needs to get funding somewhere. But his flip-flop on the Ukraine war was a huge red flag. He originally correctly summarized the war (a territory dispute that isn't in our national interest) to a 180 turn to the standard neocon talking points a few days later. IMO that looks like he got spanked by the money men.
He also is now behaving as if the indictments against Trump have some validity rather than rejecting the entire premise. The *only* acceptable response from DeSantis or any of these others is this, "I think I would be a better president than President Trump. However, the indictments are an utterly corrupt abuse of the system. President Trump is a good man, and the left are using these phony indictments to persecute him, and create a legal environment where no one can challenge their authority. If elected, I will pardon President Trump on day one, and my administration will prosecute these corrupt prosecutors."
Yet he doesn't say this. Why not? IMO it's because the GOP money men think the Trump indictments *are valid* and they support them. DeSantis can't speak the truth because those controlling the purse strings won't let him.
I was long on the fence between Trump and DeSantis for exactly the reasons Jeff states in his post. Now it has become clear to me that DeSantis is captured. He may be a great governor but all indications are that as president he will be manipulated and controlled. If he can't even speak the truth in a campaign, does anyone think he'd be allowed to carry out an America First agenda as president?
Apparently I'm not alone in these conclusions as DeSantis originally had pretty strong support and looked competitive. Now his support has cratered and is mainly Never-Trump National Review types. He's destroyed his hard-earned reputation as a fighter and is now seen as just another neocon sell-out. For all President Trump's faults, no one can ever accuse him of that.
You broke that down perfectly. DeSantis is weak and he's proven it.
He’s much stronger than Trump. Trump grew the swamp. DeSantis is draining the swamp in Florida. Trump is weak and has people making excuses for him left and right because of his bad decisions.
You throw out the statements as facts (when they are actually just your opinion) without addressing a single point I made above regarding DeSantis caving to the GOP donors.
DeSantis is not "draining the swamp" in Florida but fighting back against woke policies. This is good and admirable. But what you are missing is that "the swamp" is not transvestites teaching kids as bad as that is. The swamp is the wholesale selling out of our country through endless wars, crony capitalism ("free trade", lol), and unrestrained immigration. DeSantis has done nothing on these aside from some gimmicks, because these are national issues, not state issues.
So when it comes to how DeSantis will stop this as president we get nothing but crickets. Unfortunately the GOP donors are making money hand over fist from selling out the country. They don't care about woke issues as it's not their gravy train, so DeSantis is allowed too speak out and take action on those. But he's not allowed to touch the big three. On those three Trump is the only person who has stood up at all, albeit not perfectly.
We actually have brains here and think this stuff through. Bumper sticker slogans like "DeSantis drained the swamp" just don't cut it. That's why he's down to around 10% in the polls.
Edit: I will give DeSantis credit for some of the clever things he's done using state laws to deincentivize illegal immigration. He's one of the few governors who has actually done anything here. But fighting the swamp means a wholesale plan forward regarding those plundering the country. Trump (and possibly Vivek) are the only ones addressing this.
My reply was to End Tryanny’s comment and not to you.
However, Trump made lousy appointments and poor decisions which killed people and ruined lives.
DeSantis has made decisions which have saved lives. Nothing is more sacred than saving and protecting life. DeSantis is simply a more patriotic individual. We’re just going to have to disagree on who is the best nominee. Best wishes.
I'm allowed to reply to you, particularly when you replied to someone who agreed with me and well summarized my comment. Good grief.
Well sadly for you, he's never going to get the nomination so, there's that. Best wishes.
Very well said and I agree wholeheartedly. Sorry to say DeSantis is likely a sellout. We are in a virtually unprecedented phase of U.S. history. The levels of overt persecution have never happened before, to my knowledge. I'm still wondering if 2023 is not going to turn out to be an echo of 1859. Troubled times ahead.
Jeff C you put that so well I didn’t even have the words. But that is exactly it.
I need to send this to my dad who is a D supporter tho he likes Trump a lot.
Move forward Vivek! Desantis stay where you are
I have to agree with you. What is happening to Trump and his advisors should be 100 percent condemned by our party. There is no wiggle room. Can we make laws against this type of bogus prosecution?
Good points, very well said.
Didn’t watch but saw enough this morning to know this was a set up between Fox and the Deep State, whoever that is. As Jeff brilliantly pointed out, there is no Superman, and as long as the 2020 election is ignored and that they can do whatever they want, and convict Trump before any kind of a kangaroo court, we are lost as a Nation.
I watched Trump on Tucker. Mainly to give Faux the finger! I've been watching various debate clips via twitter this am.
Kitkat- any highlights you like of Trumps talk??? pls share
Really like Vivek, of course there are still a few unanswered questions regarding his past BUT he speaks with authority and conviction. Loved the grilling he gave Christie last night!
What past? He’s just a child 🤣😉 But I like him the best of anyone on that stage!
Oops, DC Draino doesn’t like him at all. Look him up on twitter. Says he was in support of Pense on J6, says he had pharma and Soros backing and more. Great, just great. https://x.com/dc_draino/status/1694796732821815511?s=46&t=GNWuTv_cM9muDHWdC-HKtg.
As I posted earlier, here's Vivek giving his valedictory speech at St. Xavier High School graduation in 2003. https://rumble.com/v3azxcs-18-year-old-vivek-ramaswamys-2003-graduation-speech.html
Lol, without even looking it up I *knew* Xavier would be Jesuit run. Sure enough:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Xavier_High_School_(Ohio)
I did twelve years of Catholic schools (albeit diocesan not Jesuit) and there are plenty more like me. Yet these smooth talking con men almost always seem to have a Jesuit connection, not just attendees of plebian Catholic schools. I no longer think its' a coincidence myself.
Agree!
YESSSSSS! Authority and conviction.
Thank you for stating the truth. I was going to type it but you did it for me. Some of DeSantis rich promoters have already cut their losses and walked away from him. The people of Florida for the most part are turned off by what took place in that legislative session where they tweaked the law and allowed him to run for president. For myself personally I think he is a very dangerous politician who only dances to the tune of what his handlers tell him to. I feel he has a lot to learn and develop a public persona that does not emulate Donald Trump.
That really bothered me as well and I don’t live in FL. Paving the way for yourself and yet you had not even admitted you are running for election!!! Sounds a lot like Bidens laws to get himself out of trouble. You can’t write law for yourself!
Yeah, flying to Israel to sign a Florida state law sort of reveals his true colors, doncha think? 🤠
