Obama ordered this, he needed Biden as POTUS because Biden allowed Obama to run the government. Obama was a shadow President. Biden was allowed criminal activity to enrich himself as his payoff for this scam.

CH's avatar

Yes, but I'm pretty certain the Bidens are linked to the biolabs in Ukraine through their associations with Metabiota and Burisma. What could have possibly come out of those biolabs????? I would really like to see some people facing a firing squad, after a fair trial, of course.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Thats just the tip of the iceberg.

"Fauci Hearings Were a Complete Coverup! Here’s What They’re Hiding w/ Dr. David Martin" - The Jimmy Dore Show - 1 hour video

Even if you have seen & listened to several of Dr. Martin's speeches/presentations over the last few years, as I have, this one is WORTH WATCHING...

Maureen ODH's avatar

Kelly… yes, it’s the best of David Martin… and why isn’t David required/requested to be a witness at these senate meetings given his extensive decades long military clearance patent business insight… 🧐💁🏼‍♀️

Elaine Mausbach's avatar

Kelly, You are absolutely right about University of NC cover-up. I have been watching for that to be brought up in all Covid documents and bio-labs discussions, but it seemed to be lost and buried.

Thank you up for remembering and bringing it to the light. Dr. Martin was branded a conspiracy quake and was basically ignored by the MSM, I think.

Dore is pretty great. He calls out the BS on both "sides." Something many around here could learn from.

CH's avatar

I keep praying the really bad stuff isn't really happening and then another conspiracy theory comes true. It is just a matter of time now.

CH's avatar

Also, I think we may have gotten a sample when Joni Ernst questioned Fauci during the recent Senate hearing about attaching aborted baby parts to mice. He is our modern day Mengele and really needs to be indicted for crimes against humanity.

It will require the demise of the DC deep state. The DC judges are their finale defense. No charges until that wall is torn down. However clear articulate communication of this great betrayal will help with elections.

Ryan Gardner's avatar

Yes.

In addition, the future we want is going to require an unfathomable amount of "racism" and rejection of so-called phobias.

Just how it is.

Victoria Bell's avatar

David, if conversations with my Democrat friends are an indication of how much this info will affect elections, don't count on much. When I bring up any of the declassified documents, they proclaim them 'bullshit', then ask me about Trump's raping of underage girls. I suspect that the document dumps will only succeed in preaching to the choir.

GregWA's avatar

military drumhead tribunal. Takes an hour...then off to stand against the wall! If they need shooters, I'd happily volunteer. I'll use my .22 It will probably take a long time and a lot of shots, especially if I place my first shots well!

OK, I've read more of Jeff's post, this, "The officials involved will claim they were just doing their job, innocently notifying Congress of malign foreign influence wherever they suspected it might crop up next."

Imagine the response of the Colonel presiding at the drumhead tribunal to such a statement by the accused. I suspect they'd say "Not credible. Do you have anything else to say before I pass sentence?" As the Colonel cocks his revolver.

CCPatriot470's avatar

Military trials in tribunal courts. Many believe they’ve already taken place and these people are actors playing the politicians that have already been tried and convicted. Treason requires death penalty. Not the kind of death penalty that drags out for years. Quick and Dead.

John Wiles's avatar

That makes perfect sense. High level people do high level 'sh**' and get away with it. Trump could too, but he has been the one person at the head, since Kennedy, who actually has the American people's long term good in mind on all decisions that I can see, read about, or know about.

Jacquijacq's avatar

I agree w you but it astounds me that so many people (my own family) think that Trump is the danger to the US. What is wrong with these people?!?!

Alice Ball's avatar

The answer to that is media. Media is a propaganda tool, nothing more, nothing less. What actually gets to me is that these people have zero interest in knowing truth and facts, they're happy with the propaganda. The "narrative" is also their narrative.

Laura's avatar

It is now their identity. So they can't hear facts. It would destroy their (I'm right/good) identity.

Regina Restrained's avatar

I have said since 2020, if you could change one thing about our country what would it be? I think an objective media would get us the biggest bang for our buck. One that reports facts without a partisan swing - people could listen and make up their own minds. This wouldn't cure all ills, but it would get us a lot closer. My brothers are liberals and just don't believe anything Trump admin says, they believe its all lies. All this reporting and disclosure is fake. I have to admit, if it were Biden doing this, I would think the same thing... :(

You disagree?

President Trump is the most honest President since Reagan. And he loves this nation and hates the demonicRATS. Rightfully so.

I pray that those demons be sent to hell from whence they came.

Ollie's avatar

It's truly spectacular your ability to diagnose the thoughts and feelings of people other than yourself. The part about Reagan is particularly insightful, do you think he was already suffering from Alzheimer's when he testified that he couldn't recall whether or not he authorized aspects of the Iran-Contra Op, specifically giving guns/weapons to the Iranian regime?

Fred Jewett's avatar

I think the reason Biden was chosen as president is because of the skeletons in his closet that would ensure he did what he was told.

Larry's avatar

Yes, the unelected running the Biden White House occupancy want pliable dummies.

They were going to continue with Harris.

Now it's on to AOC.

Keith Jajko's avatar

Likewise for Obama. I have come to the conclusion that Obama was an IC plant all along. Trained meticulously to act the part well up to 2008, then blackmailed from then on out, with his sordid past held over his head as a ever-threatened instant guillotine that could separate his soul from his Martha's Vineyard dreams.

Obama then was blackmailed the rest of the way, all the way to ... today. The Ultimate Useful Idiot.

Until Biden said, "Hold my beer."

Lori's avatar

It is the only language they will understand and will deter others from trying this shit again. And anyone in their family, wife, kids, don't care who that abetted them or knew all this and did not come forward to do the right thing needs to be front and center of the firing squad too. It sadly has come down to this but it is the only way unless we start vigilanteing and holding them accountable since they stole from us, the taxpayer, and funded crimes that hurt Americans. Imagine if that money they stole had been used to help our veterans, children with cancer, cleaning up crime....

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

It's not being a vigilante. It is the proper application of our God given 2d Amendment right to defend ourselves and our country from treason and tyranny. I quote, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

When you read that and understand the full implication, then it becomes clear it is our job to provide the security of the USA! Especially when government has failed to do it's job which is protect the Constitution and the Citizens, the People, the true sovereigns of the USA.

No, just conduct 2d Amendment protection of the USA, as I have counseled for some time. At some point we need to do our damn job.

nancy roberts's avatar

Oh....YES they will face accountability. Even if we do not get to see it.

Politico Phil's avatar

Of course. But without accountability in our Government, corruption will only beget more corruption.

daverkb's avatar

So Jim Jordan says, according to today's C & C reportage, that he knew exactly what they were doing. And I imagine that nearly the entire Washington establishment knew exactly what 'they' were doing. And anyone with a brain across the country knew exactly what 'they' were doing. But notice this, that the Republicans never do anything except stage Dog and Pony Shows regarding any sort of corruption, misconduct, treasonous behavior. Nothing ... only Committee Theater sprinkled with liberal doses of indignation. And so far, nothing has been gotten to the bottom of, not Epstein, Ukraine malfeasance and grift, Israeli lobby and control of the US government, Covid Terrorism, 911 inside job/false flag, California and Hawaii mystery fires, East Palestine. Nothing Burgers ... one and all plus the sounds of a tawdry empire slowly sliding into oblivion.

But real opposition, like Marjorie Greene and Thomas Massie, get eliminated. And some pains in the pattussa get outright liquidated, Charlie Kirk for one.

So you are right. It is every bit as bad as the late Roman Empire. And it is so obvious that everyone knows that the system is not working for anyone except as welfare and grift for the fabled one or two percent and anyone riding their coat tails.

Truth Seeker's avatar

mostly accurate then the bit about MTG and TM...

> What’s organic is the desire to have an institution, a movement, that represents the actual American system. What is orchestrated is all the different ways the British Empire tries to screw that up.

> — Susan Kokinda

Barbara took the present tense: Tucker, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie — not an organic development, period. A psychological-warfare operation to split the 2024 coalition, activated after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The answer isn’t to argue with every armchair ballistics expert. It’s to think from principle — because the whole operation only works on people who react instead of think.

daverkb's avatar

It not just thinking, it is also observation. Simple things like Greene and Massie against Israeli control of the US government, control files and political intimidation ... and gone. Charlie Kirk, spoke against ... gone. Tucker, speaks for US control of US government and for the good of regular folks, against Israeli atrocities against Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians and Christians ... and is still here, but is being vilified, demonized. And somehow Tucker is bad.

I've seen the Susan Kokinda show before. And the same tenor as with Lyndon LaRouche (September 8, 1922 – February 12, 2019) ... and another dead end ally. LOL! And how the sheep love to quote and follow ... and not think.

Politico Phil's avatar

Awww... and who is Susan Kokinda who just suddenly popped up, late on the scene but all glossy and polished and obviously well funded like a bright shiny bobble in a candy wrapper? And her words are so seductive with a logic that is so alluring one has to suspend thinking to simply listen to her song that teaches you how you should think. And it is so easy because she can tell us exactly what to believe without any effort. Ah yes, once again we hear the siren song of the deep state psyops.

daverkb's avatar

Ah! With the sunglasses on I did not realize who the speaker was, not until the end ... MTG. And what she was saying what I witnessed first hand in the Virginia General Assembly in the 2006 to 2012 period. And by the way, both parties resisted the Tea Parties and the Constitution Party when we were exposing the UN/WEF agendas in 2011. How so? Both parties did not want to hear of it, talk about. And neither party lifted a finger to sponsor policy reversal. They just continued playing the same old tired play books over and over again.

Well, it is like what Tucker said, that he knows of nobody who thinks the system is working except for the very few at the top. This being so, it like living in a ticking time bomb. As in the Soviet Union, it will keep ticking until the lid flies off, and then the real misery starts ... ten or more years of it and with shortages of everything. And like in the collapsed Soviet Union some people just won't make it.

Mykool's avatar

She is spot on. Most people, on this forum, blindly believe their team is finally winning. There are no independent national politicians. That includes Trump.

Dan (100% All in MAGA)'s avatar

When are you going to be willing to lock and load, acquire, aim, breathe, squeeze, repeat? I submit if they steal 2026 and/or assassinate President Trump and take down his admin, the time will be at hand. Do you agree we are the ultimate protectors of the country, the Constitution and the 2A is our God given means to accomplish it? Not easy things to say, but we are going to have to face reality or become subjects of someone else's tyranny.

I don't blame Trump for any of this, he is the only President in at least 150 years who is actually fighting for the country and it's people, us.

daverkb's avatar

I don't cotton to being lectured by people who have probably done much, much less than I have in fighting this demonic onslaught. And besides, you don't need my agreement on anything to perform as you please.

You seem not to know that in all of the several states and in what has become the centralized federal power that all constitutions are de facto suspended ... except for lip service. Read the state codes and the USC and say it isn't so.

Long ago, my wife said, "Stop complaining. Go out and do something." I did.

Armstrong: "We are currently witnessing the death throes of the Western republican form of government, which our models have projected to culminate in a systemic collapse by 2032 and a reorganization of political government in most of the world governments mired in republics. The convergence of sovereign debt crises, stagflationary energy shocks, and a shift from unipolar to multipolar conflict defines this outlook.

"We are not heading toward a traditional World War III, but rather a simultaneous eruption of regional tensions that are all interconnected. The model indicates that the conflict in Ukraine, the tensions surrounding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, and the dynamics in the South China Sea are not isolated events; they are manifestations of a single cycle of declining confidence in the established order."

https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/products_services/products/the-global-outlook/

Beyond 2032, there is reason to be optimistic as the current political order collapses. "....Hopefully, 2032 will bring into focus the light at the end of the tunnel. These Neocons have been the problem since Vietnam."

daverkb's avatar

I read Armstrong, as you know, because he is uncommonly top drawer.

And flat out let it be said that the Israel First Agenda is the Washington NeoCon agenda. And if an American President puts Israel ahead of America and Americans first, then that President is treasonous. Maybe not by the narrow definition of the pertaining constitution, but by actions seen and by actions ultimately leading to ruin.

I have not learned enough in life. I should know that bathing cats and dogs is not considered to be a universally popular and safe sport. I also so very late in life have just learned that giving coffee baths to backlighted external keyboards is not a very good thing to do! Not even during Coffee and Covid time! And who would have thought! I mean if drug addicts can dry out, why not backlighted keyboards? And believe me, I tried with heat lamps. Fortunately, a new one from Wyoming ordered on eBay just arrived. It came in only two days which is totally amazing because it says so on the box, from the Amazon. And it has arrows and bent spears drawn on it. And I was real careful in opening it. Piranhas and anaconda ... you know. One can't be too careful.

Of course Obama was behind it all from the start. Hillary was supposed to be his surrogate but 2016 screwed that up. They knew Biden’s brain was gone and the Obama Cartel could run things as long as him, Hunter and James got paid. The pardon protects Hunter and Joe will be in hell soon so go after James. He’s as worthless as the other two scum bags.

ViaVeritasVita's avatar

Nothing like slapping every American in the face, by buying a gated domicile INSIDE D.C. after his term "ended". Every other president knew to depart from town when he departed from the White House. [Grammar note here to those not yet witful: "depart" is an intransitive verb, thus it cannot take a direct object; it requires its object to march with a preposition. "Graduate" works the same way. I'm just in a really bad mood as result of this info, so I'm shooting from the hip-- but have seen of late, far too many people, people who make their livings by "writing", who do not know this very basic element of English structure. If you want to make your living by writing in English, for goodness' sake, know that language.]

Fred Jewett's avatar

I don't mind the less educated who use english expression for "punch" instead of correct grammar. Makes reading interesting and often clearer. When I was in school I wrote my aunt one time and she sent my letter back to me full of red markings correcting my grammar, spelling, etc. I did not write her again (she did not mention that she appreciated the letter).

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

Probably, ONLY in a substack like C & C would one see a comment as you made. It is a safe one considering the audience, guessing mostly of college and above educated readers; certainly, a group of REAL READERS-- something not accomplished by most citizens these days. Sorry to say I no longer know the words transitive and intransitive, but DO personally use that grammar to which you espouse.

I make this comment in trepidation of your response on my grammar and punctuation, but am confident you will be merciful!

ViaVeritasVita's avatar

Hope this may help (and if you are under about 45, “educated” in the American public school system, there is good reason for you not to have grasped this):

Transitive verb: think of a kid throwing a ball. The power from that kid is going directly into the ball. Visualize: an arrow drawn between the kid, and his ball in the air. Force goes from kid to ball. Directly.

trans = across (as in, from kid, across to the ball)

 it = it goes

trans-it = it goes across. 

The ball receives that force. The kid is the thing doing the action (the subject). The ball is the thing receiving /getting the action (the object). Receiving the action directly. Nothing in the way between thrower and ball.  So, we call the ball a direct object.

Now, imagine some other kids doing stuff:

he walks

he jumps

he runs

he stands

he departs

(also—he graduates)

In each of these the kid is doing something--but that "something" stops with the kid itself. There is motion here, but that motion stays with the kid. The motion/action doesn't go out onto anything. So, we say that the action/motion is intransitive.

in (= not) trans (= across) it (= going) -ive (= just an adjective to tidy up the loose ends) Please let me know if this clarifies, or if it muddies the waters—because I worked it out just now just for you!

pretty-red, old guy's avatar

THANK you for such detail. Yes, this was clarifying and useful.

Being an engineer I NEED that! And so, I understand the difference now. However, I do not EVER recall any of my public school teachers making it that clear. If they had I would have come out with something like this to make them hate me even more:

Why not rename the descriptor for transitive verbs TransFERative? (obviating the meaning);

for INtransitive ones which have a preposition-led object, I have no clue. . . let's just not give them ANY special name!

Sorry, I could not help that!

Obama (and others) that makes a great deal of sense, since he (Obama) didn't return to Hawaii. And then you have Cabbage head Joe BuyDem plainly a "Weekend at Bernie's" Puppet, to some extent being manipulated by his good Doctor wife Jill and his whoring crack addict Great Artist Attorney Son; doing business with Devon Archer and Billionaire Chris Heinz (step-son of John Kerry).... All this lead me back around to Devon Archer's testimony before congress (which is probably what got him a Trump pardon for seemingly unrelated issues)...

https://www.scribd.com/document/662838709/Devon-Archer-Transcript-1#fullscreen=1

I don't suggest you waste your time on that testimony too.... The key takeaway from it (aside from things we already know).... is what another IDIOT this "Yale" grad is... and how he sounds like he must be on drugs during this testimony.... The end conclusion I come to is that the world's been run by traitors, fools, drug addicts and liars.... And we need a LOT more accountability resulting in these assholes in a pillory tarred and feathered on the national mall (if they had a pardon from prison like Fauci & Hunter... otherwise they should all go to prison). Hoping for more "August surprises", the more the better!

I suspect the fact that this story is breaking is the main reason that Hunter Biden is making the rounds on the Sunday shows to talk about his father's advancing cancer...they desperately need to gin up sympathy while they run out the clock.

Once Joe passes, the line will be the same one that the Clinton perfected during their years in office: "That all happened a long time ago and it has been investigated ad infinitum! We are trying to move forward and deal with real problems and Republicans just want to fixate on the past!"

As Hillary famously declared during the sham Benghazi hearings, ""What difference, at this point, does it make?" (And Gowdy and the rest of the spineless Republicans gave up at that point and never asked her any of the real, hard questions that have still never been answered!)

And the press, always a willing accomplice, will simply say that is "old news" and "the man is dead" and announce there is no need to cover the story any longer.

Is anyone else having a hard time reading about the corruption? As it comes to light, to say I’m not surprised at all is an understatement. We’ve known it’s there and they’ve called us conspiracy theorists ad nauseam. The worst part is that nothing will be done about it. Yes, they will be held accountable on judgement day, but meanwhile those of us that live in the real world will continue to be robbed blind because we are financing these criminals. Personally all I can do right now is pray that I can get by on my shrinking income until Jesus returns or I get to go home. I love everything Trump is done, but it has not improved my life one bit. In Washington state, gas is the most expensive, groceries continue to skyrocket and I can’t afford to stay in my home anymore because of taxes. Come quickly Lord Jesus.

Me. I can’t really read this. No one I know will get it, but just blame Trump. They are too far gone.

Nothing has changed for me. I can’t live outraged and full of information no one will allow me to say and if I say it , believe. I’m tired of anger. . Prayer is what I have.

Maybe WA state politics are the main reason you’re not experiencing any improvement Clara. Not Trump. I hope that changes for you

Clara's avatar

I realize this, but there’s absolutely no way I can move to another state. I don’t have the money.

JudyC's avatar

It becomes clearer and clearer that where you live matters so much. Our gas is running around $3.30 in my part of Texas, we’re pretty conservative here, there was very little lockdown nonsense and most folks vote red. My northern friends who visited during covid were amazed at the sense of freedom they felt here. I cannot imagine how difficult it must be living in a deep blue area. It’s like being a foreigner and not speaking the same language. Praying for you all!

Same here, Judy. We live in Oklahoma and I also pray for those suffering in the horrible blue places.

I totally understand you Clara. I also live in WA. My family is here. Our jobs and life are here. It feels like we are being overrun by crazies. Yesterday I was at the Dollar Store. The cashier was a young man dressed as a woman. Right behind me in line were two men with long pink and purple hair wearing dresses. I have lived in this area of WA for over 20 years. It used to be a red area. Not so much anymore. I feel a great need to escape.

I hope you can find a group of like minded folks to share the load, Clara. It’s a tough burden to shoulder when you feel you’re the only one with your eyes open.

I would love to move, but can’t. My husband points out that often the red states are headed in the same direction, just taking a little longer to get there.

Franklin O'Kanu's avatar

Clara, this is a wonderful comment and thanks for raising this question.

This actually hits on so many points but I’ll be brief. You’ve hit the nail on the head, a lot of things have happened in politics, but our individual lives aren’t getting better. The cold truth is, I think this is the case and I don’t think Washington per se will help us a lot to get things better.

But I do think that this is just the life we live. I don’t think we need to hunker down and wait for Judgement Day, but we should live each and everyday within what is within our control to change. I’ve found that once I stopped paying or relying on trump or policies to change, I was able to learn about different tax codes to lower my taxes or different ways that I can take care of my health, etc.

Long story short, is that it’s easy to get hopeless in our day and age, but there are so many blessings around us that if we take matter into our hands, we can change things for ourselves.

I think that’s the beauty of life. Especially where we are now. How do we make the best of what we have — knowing no one is going to save us, but ourselves.

I think when we do this, combined with prayer and action, God begins to move in miraculous ways.

Easier said than done I know, but that’s how I see us living in this day and age.

“God helps those who help themselves.”

Karmy's avatar

Where does “God helps those who help themselves” come from?

One of the earliest forms of this saying goes back to Aesop’s fable, Hercules and the Waggoner, where the moral of the story is “the gods help them that help themselves.” The modern variant, “God helps those who help themselves,” was allegedly first coined by the English political theorist Algernon Sidney and later popularized by Benjamin Franklin, a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deism. In case you’re wondering, a Deist is one who believes that while a supreme being did indeed create the universe, that supreme being does not involve itself in human affairs. Therefore, miracles and special revelation (such as healing, prophecy, the virgin birth & resurrection of Jesus, and the inspiration of the Scriptures) don’t actually happen.

At the risk of oversimplifying, according to this view, God just isn’t interested in his creations. He’s got better things to do.

Okay, we know the origin. So, what does the Bible really say? Does God really help those who help themselves?

The better news the Bible give us

Nowhere in Scripture will you find the idea that God helps those who help themselves. It’s not there. Instead, you find the opposite. For example, when Paul wrote about trials, he said that he and his team were “so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself” (2 Cor. 1:9). Their burden was so great they felt they’d received a death sentence (10). That’s a big deal—like entirely contradict the platitude big. Jesus also described our redemption and the forgiveness of our sins as something reserved for those who can help themselves. Instead, he described us as sheep, needing a shepherd to come and rescue us (Luke 15:4-6).

God does not help those who can help themselves because, from this perspective, we cannot help ourselves. We cannot save ourselves from our bondage to sin, nor from the wrath of God, so He does. Our own power fails us when we rely on it, rather than God. To believe that God helps those who help themselves, is not only foolish, but it’s proud. Pride motivates the belief that we can do everything by our own gusto and go-to attitude. That we can pick ourselves up by our spiritual & moral bootstraps. But, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble” (James 4:6, 1 Pet. 5:5).

Tonee norman's avatar

The point is that no one does “it”alone. It is a team effort and I’m happy to be “co-pilot “ with God.

Are you “proud “ of all those words you wrote? Does it make you feel virtuous to call someone “foolish “ for a simple comment?🤔

That is actually nowhere in the Bible.

Juju's avatar

People forget that a lot requires an act of Congress (our senate) to impact our lives. They have dropped the ball here. EOs can only take us so far. Trump has properly passed the ball repeatedly as his position required, and they failed to catch it, on purpose. Everyone blamed the president while ignoring one of the three branches that is actually responsible. When they work in tandem everything heals, but we haven’t had proper cooperation between the three branches in decades, except when a corrupt administration is controlling all three, as under Biden.

If only that cooperation could work for good and not evil …

Margot Wooster's avatar

Hi Juju! I always enjoy your comments. What’s your gut feeling about the November elections? Do you think we’ll get “rug-pulled” yet again, or will this one be different and we actually get a good Congress that WILL work with our great President?

Juju's avatar

If we had election integrity and voter ID, I would absolutely believe we’d get a Congress that actually works for the people. When enough new blood are elected it is harder for the swamp to circle the newly elected and capture them into their fold, using social intimidation tactics, because a large amount of new blood would have strength in numbers.

However …

given that voter/ballot fraud is still rampant, I worry that the midterm results will not reflect the actual votes that were cast. They will spin it to mean America is unhappy with Trump, which couldn’t be further from the truth. We are unhappy with our Senate, period, and with the overly corrupted legislative and judicial branches. We are delighted with the administrative branch.

I’m praying that the administration finds ways to intimidate fraudsters from trying, and expose the ones that do.

I truly don’t believe the results of this midterm will show the truth at all.

(And thank you for the kind compliment. I enjoy yours too. ☺️)

LMWC's avatar

I agree, unfortunately. Until we address, voting fraud in many forms, nothing changes.

She was in Pierce County--I would think every county in WA State would have that arrangement. 🤔🤔🤔

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”

Yes, and it keeps going up because the jerk we have in Washington state keeps adding state taxes to it. It’s $5.20 now for unleaded IF you shop around.

I had to search for $5.15 yesterday here in Northern California, most places were $5.69 or higher. I get mad at ALL the media outlets giving all lower prices and never stressing California’s prices. Since our corrupt criminal politicians do this and human slime governor Newsom desperately wants to be president, every American should constantly be told what goes on in Newsom’s state.

@Clara Washington state is so corrupt that you can’t blame Trump for your local taxes. Does your state have taxes on the gas? I’m going to guess yes. Are there other state taxes? Again not Trump’s fault. Please try to understand that the left blames the President for everything but local politics have a hand in what happens locally.

The stuff being exposed is crazy but is it actually reaching the people who need to hear it?

Cynthia's avatar

Exactly! I know some people in Minnesota (they are Democrats and Tim Walz supporters) who don't believe any fraud actually happened in their state!! They think it's just Republican talking points. There's no way to get them to accept the truth about the level of corruption that exists.

If a tree falls in the forest and the media ignores it, did it happen?

The key to reaching people is to repeat something 24/7, on all outlets. If that doesn't happen, most people will be unaware.

If it does happen, it's probably propaganda.

Neighbors and people walking down the street. Trump may be changing things behind the scenes which is good - but peoples lives haven’t changed financially (and .25 lower at the pump is not the whole fix - groceries and services and goods are all still way high) and savings are depleted for the biden years. And no one is being held to account. Just retiring cuz they’re old 🙄.

Nikki (Gayle) Nicholson's avatar

Jeff, as a woman, I have to say the women lib movement was a huge factor in the cesspool that America has become. It is so sad. As a young woman ( long time ago) I bought into it hook line and anchor. :-( Only as a wise ol grandmother can I see so clear now, how wrong I/we as a nation were. ( I don't go along with those stupid pronouns)

CitizenA's avatar

I agree with Nikki. I fell for the women’s lib movement as well, then I saw it leading to perversion and the insanity of the “progressive leftist” female mindset. They lead every crazy insane woke idea imaginable. I’m to the point I rarely vote for any female, as so many who claim to be moderate then go full radical leftist once in office. And what’s with women cheering for killing a full term baby in the womb? It’s demonic.

BTW, I am also a woman, and yes BORN female.

One other comment about the feminists. Where are they in the fight against men in women’s sports? They fought for women’s rights then disappeared.

Francoise Johnson's avatar

Because the feminists are democrats and as democrats they cannot dissent on any part of the democrat platform. And trans “rights” are a crucial component of that platform.

Though the trans agenda violates women’s rights, the feminists are stuck with supporting it.

And there’s severe punishment from the democrat elite for any democrat who doesn’t go along with the trans agenda. They’re branded as racists, haters, bigots, oppressors and banned from polite democrat society.

“They’re branded as racists, haters, bigots, oppressors and banned from polite democrat society.” You mean the same as Conservative Christian Republicans?

Margot Wooster's avatar

Indeed a huge factor, Nikki ...

and the conditions making us susceptible to such primitive artificial ideas like feminism were already in crescendo during previous generations:

Recently I've been watching movie clips from the 30's, 40's, etc., featuring women like Bette Davis (All About Eve), Joan Crawford, Norma Desmond, and Mae West. The widespread despicable portrayal of women's values were already there for all to see.

The esoterics go further and maintain that the seeds of our civilizational collapse were there from the get-go ...
