Dear Senator Elissa: We folks DO know the "one or two things that actually impact people" your Democrat Party cares about: Fundamentally transforming our nation into a polyglot dumping ground for the world's criminal element ... and aggregating sufficient power to crush anyone who dares stand in your way brandishing the Constitution.
What is destroying our society is Democrats abusing welfare, coddling criminals, devaluing women, decrying White people’s rights, mentally abusing children and positioning themselves against the entire group of middle class Americans. (Not to mention taking advantage of emotionally retarded liberals.)
Where does the constitution say that illegals are entitled to welfare?
Where does it say that Americans MUST fund any NGO?????
STOP THE FUNDING AND ABUSE.
Taxpayers shouldn’t be funding anyone’s childcare but their own children!
I’m an immigrant and we NEVER got any kind of government assistance!
I’ve been a citizen for over 25 years and we never lived off welfare!
I love this country and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else! 🇺🇸
It’s sad that the coddled liberal embraces hive mind thought, but they’ve all been born here,with the freedom to think for themselves, and not be killed for thinking. It’s incredible. They don’t see the irony in protesting everything trump, whilst not a word regarding islam in Iran.
Hopefully Minnesota is learning a hard lesson and gets someone in office who will clean house and bring respect back to the state rather than make it an embarrassment and laughing stock.
"And until Democrats can answer the simple question, “what is a woman?”, they’ll be stuck conducting focus groups until the cows come home."
I will add until you reverse the rhetoric and actions that led to perhaps 10-100 times as many vulnerable and confused young people being harmed as there are people who would perhaps truly benefit from social or medical trans interventions, your party will be irrelevant to me other than as an enemy to be defeated.
Trump's tariffs are scaring the establishment. They won't admit they work because tariffs will bring down the Federal Reserve. That is the ultimate goal - destroy the Fed. It has enslaved Americans for over a hundred years, and is unconstitutional. Trump has put a system of external revenue in place to bypass the Fed, and at the same time is exposing how the Fed is not working for us, but for the global elites who had been looting America dry.
Any Congressman who defends the Fed and Jerome Powell are not working for the American people. They use the lie about the Fed needs to be "independent". The Fed needs to be abolished.
My theory is that probably 75% of them go there with the best of intentions, but most of them get caught up in the game (I’ll vote for your bill if you support mine), the easy money, the attention, and get corrupted. I think that about 20% of them end up maintaining their integrity.
My guess is lower than that. In the first administration of the Trumper, he mentioned the fact that so many in congress were compromised that getting rid of them would limit the running of the country..so they would have to be slowly eliminated..words to that affect. I believe Lora Loomer in Texas asked candidates running for senator what plan they had to not be compromised because they would be IF they didn't have a plan. None of them had a plan. If you go there without recognizing the destroyer's goal and know how to resist it, you are lost. Put on the armor of GOD and rebuke satan as we are told.
I would agree with that. DC is exhibit A that absolute power corrupts absolutely, plus the human nature of starting to believe your own PR machine press releases. That being said, I am ambivalent about term limits being the answer. We have that in our state, and our legislature is in constant turmoil and rarely gets anything done as there is constant turnover and few elder statesmen (and women) who have been around long enough to know how to get good legislation written and passed. We had a voter ID bill challenged and overturned in court twice before finally getting a bill across the finish line that survived the court challenge, for instance. Those who are ambitious get elected, and immediately start grandstanding and running for the next higher office as it's a race to build name recognition and notoriety before you term out. There is little incentive to dig in and work on the 'hard problems' that take years to hammer out. For instance our education funding formula is a convoluted mess and hasn't been changed in over a decade. One who was trying admitted that 2/3rds of the legislators don't even UNDERSTAND the formula, let alone want to dig in to try to change it.
I believe that 20% preserved integrity is generous. Too much money and opportunity. Just like the myth of benignly competent and helpful civil servants, Congress members serving solely for the benefit of constituents and country is a utopian fantasy.
No one immersed in the den of thieves that is Washington DC comes out without a taint of corruption.
I listen to the Ruthless podcast, and they interview Republican office holders from across the nation and many of them are people of integrity. I’m sure they’re putting themselves in the best light, but many seem to still have integrity.
I grew up in a political (albeit D, although a different kind of D) household and have followed and been involved in politics my whole life, (born in the 60's). The D and R identities have become so polarized that thinking for yourself is verboten. My D House rep has been there 20 years, When he was first elected, he was pro-life. He is now a shill for 'reproductive rights' lest he get cancelled by his party. He is a corrupt jerk, but still he didn't used to be as bad as he is now.
During covid, I lost longtime liberal friends and stepped up my involvement and now run in a circle where all of my friends are some level of R. BUT the ones who only become political after covid have zero nuance and love to toss out the term RINO and want to cancel anyone who dares color outside the lines.
Take Thomas Massie. Have followed him for years, and generally see him as thoughtful and principled. Do I agree with all of his votes? No, but I do respect that he has views he is willing to stand for. But many of my friends disparage him and call him a RINO. Then there is Josh Hawley, though, who seems more like he just blows in the wind to try to capture the latest sentiment. He is newly into his second term and was the darling of most of my conservative friends prior to Trump's post about him but I always read him as more of an opportunist than a principled conservative.
And then there is the money. Campaign spending has risen to obscene levels and the push to raise funds is relentless. Anyone who wants to stay in office only gets traction if they raise money for the party and of course their own re-election campaigns. And there are all too many corrupting influences with fat check books.
Perhaps we need Political Party Donations Limits instead of Term Limits. I agree that the donation pools are ridiculously overfunded. Many good people, with management and fiscal responsibility skills are unable to run for office due to cost. I’d love to see caps put on the TOTAL WARCHEST instead of the donor. If a candidate gets all his money from one billionaire, who cares? So long as that’s all the money he can get, playing field will be level.
I'm thinking less than 10%. I knew a guy who went to Congress, I was so very happy about it. He went down quick and will not be seeking re-election. I would never want to go there and be so tempted to sell my soul. I don't think I would but ... Satan is strong there, apparently.
I’d agree with you, not sure about the numbers but so many get sucked in with the power & prestige that they believe they are gods. The money is the second factor that becomes their god and totally corrupted they begin to believe they deserve it. I sure hope the dominoes start falling if nothing less for saving their sorry souls. The original sin- we want to be in control
Part of the problem is that you cannot impose your will on your fellow legislators. Plato basically said that you either compromise or get killed. So even if you go in with the best of intentions and do not take bribes, you will be a target.
Jeff Sessions was on record as being the only Congress member who never took a dime. The number of non corrupt Congress members is so small you would need a microscope to see it.
There is a condensed version that tells the story called “Dishonest Money” by Joseph Plummer. It is even available for free on his website. Does an excellent and concise job so you don’t have to go through the “tome.”
That sounds like the version for me! I used to be an avid reader, but I had no time for reading when raising my children, and now presbyopia (literally “old age vision”) has taken the fun out of it. And reading a real book would take time away from poring over Substack and doom-scrolling Twitter/X.
Imagine a world without ludicrous financial bubbles that totally distort economic reality. Imagine a world where fiscal recklessness is quickly reflected in the markets. Imagine a world...
Exactly. We have been talking for about 20 years about the Brits (and others) have been in control of our economy through the Federal Reserve for over 100 years. It’s finally coming out, and Starmer and Jerome Powell are BIG MAD
Sorry Dave, but how do tariffs replace the fed exactly? The math doesn't add up - at all. I agree the Fed needs to go, but I don't see how this is even remotely realistic.
Hi Elaine, it is Thursday the 22nd beginning at noon. Had my preop yesterday, and the nurse practitioner said, "I'm going to go talk to the anesthesiologist because your case is so unique." I said, "You mean weird." She laughed. Thank you for asking and for praying for me!
This is so bizarre to me. Just goes to show how illogical these women are 🙄 They are fueled by rage against men. So they use their rage against men to help and defend men who have been arrested for trafficking, sexually abusing women and children and murdering and/or assaulting people (also frequently women and children). I just can’t with these morons 🙄🙄🙄
Of course. That was my point. It’s not logical at all, completely emotion based (the “rage” part is a big clue to that 😆😁). I agree that we shouldn’t debate them and just do what is necessary.
I kind of think we should just leave all of these women who are so passionately defending the Tren de Aragua gang members and various other traffickers and criminals in a room together and let them do what they want. I know, not very nice of me but I honestly so sick of these idiots helping to put other people in danger with their foolishness 🙄
There's the centuries-old stereotype that women = illogical, irrational, emotional; while men = logical, rational, unemotional. The raging man-hating feminist agitators only amplify that stereotype. That division is also the purpose of feminism, or one of them at least.
As a woman, they make me roll my eyes and cringe 😕 I hate that they reinforce that stereotype. I’ve always tried to have a logical approach and can’t stand the way these women operate. It’s really just the same kind of manipulative tactic that women who had no power in the past use to use to get power and attention. Pathetic.
Well yes Eve. But we’re all individuals, not carbon copies of Eve. It may be a large and vocal minority or maybe even a majority that fit the stereotype, but there are also lots of counter examples. I dislike being reduced to a stereotype, personally. It’s just a facile way of thinking imo.
If you don't have any solutions, create problems. The Dems have no solutions where they take the opposite side of the Republicans. I've always thought that the Politicians should join forces to solve problems and then argue later who actually was helpful in solving problems. But, the Uniparty world is probably more dangerous. We would never catch the taxpayer wasting of money through fraud.
So much in this Substack today! I liked your description of how to read and discern propaganda! I don’t read the NYT, so I don’t have to worry about their reporting; just as I no longer watch MSM reporting on TV. I easily can discern their propaganda from clips I see on alternative media outlets.
Did you all catch that the new Governor of Virginia is going to bring back DEI to the state? More democrat crap!!
Not nice to throw them to the wolves that way. But it’s kind of like letting a kid face the natural consequences of their choices in a way, I guess. You want to help and defend these thugs, we’ll let THEM have you since you love them so much 🙄
Responding to your question about “nice”. I was clarifying what I meant when I wrote that in my other comment. Or trying to, apparently I wasn’t as clear as I thought 😆
And “you” was meant as “you women defending the illegal immigrant thugs”. Not *you* RJ Rambler.
The most important thing I learned from Scott Adams (RIP) is just how many people are entirely ruled by their emotions. Add to that how a clever manipulator can tap into it and get them to believe complete lies that are 100% at odds with reality around them. Once you see this is can't be unseen, and you'll be amazed you never saw it before.
That's why I'm immediately suspicious of ANYONE trying to provoke an emotional response in others, particularly if doing so in apparent bad faith. The Dems do it like breathing but there are plenty of people supposedly on our side who do it to, Ben Shapiro being among the most egregious. Note how much of what he says seems intended to make you feel angry or guilty. It's not an accident.
Plus women are far more susceptible to this than men, that's not sexist but just a statement of fact. Men are women are different, men being the provider/protector, and women being the nurturers. Nurturing a child requires an emotional attachment unlike any other on Earth. However, once that emotional attachment gets hijacked into a "cause" other than mothering, it results in the insanity we see today.
That last point I believe is why the Bible specifically prohibits female pastors and elders, they are (generally) far too susceptible to emotional manipulation. Satan is the Father of all lies, and he knows this all too well.
I listen to talk radio when I am in my car, and the vast majority of the conservative voices are every bit as bad at times. Like Bongino's "they hate you" commentary from his show before he left for the FBI. The left is easy to bash, but there is some nuance there where some issues are not black and white. Before Trump, R's shrugged off illegal immigration as it was cheap labor that kept inflation in check, wages low and profit margins high. Now some of these same folks are embracing ICE operations as that is where the wind is blowing.
Same on social media. Emotion fueled rants get clicks, which is the currency that helps people make a living off being an 'influencer'. We are all guilty although I try to stick to written stuff as it is generally more even handed. But I run in circles with lots of politically active folks, and people send me video clips all day long, and the vast majority of them are click bait. Don't watch most of them as I would never get anything done if all I did was watch videos.
You seem to be ignoring the fact that Republicans voted, many times , 100% against the RATS, but we did not have a majority. And, even now we only have a ‘simple’ majority.
Please stop ignoring that fact.
The problem with Republicans is that they actually do BELIEVE in listening to and debating opposing viewpoints. We need a SUPER-majority to actually get anything reasonable passed, because the DEMONS are represented by the D party (including those demons who ran as Republicans because they couldn’t win as demonicRATS).
Oh no doubt the R's pre Trump were mostly as weak-kneed as they come. Remember the campaign promises to repeal and replace Obamacare?! And it IS frustrating as h*ll that when we DO get a majority we squander it. But there is also a distinction between the rank and file conservatives and those who end up in elected office. "uni-party" is a thing and too many of those we elect belong to that party. Fine line between those who vote differently based on their own principles, which I do respect, and those who vote differently due to pandering (like those voting for extending Obamacare subsidies so they can get re-elected in tough districts) or satisfying campaign donors. A lot more of the latter than the former.
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him. [5] Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes. [6] He cuts off his own feet and drinks violence Who sends a message by the hand of a fool. [8] Like one who binds a stone in a sling, So is he who gives honor to a fool.
While I agree with your frustration concerning the insistence on debating people who aren't using reason, I don't think it's to convince them, but others hearing the debate.
I don't know where I read it and sadly, did not save it, but think the opinion piece was based off an interview with Brett Weinstein. The gist of it was, we are still products of instinct and evolution, and just as we talked about the ire of the 'mama bears' fighting the covid BS in the schools, young females are wired to walk through fire and broken glass to defend and protect our children. Except many of these man-hating AWFL's don't have children. But the instinct is still there. So rather than fight for their children, all of the effort is re-directed into fighting to defend this "religion" of Woke Virtue. Just as a mama bear is extremely dangerous if you mess with her cubs, these women are dangerous as to how far they will go to defend their misguided sense of ideals.
All of that sounds like overthinking the situation. Why not just say they are deranged? Renee Good was probably a man hater as seems obvious by the fact that she was a lesbian, but ‘mama bear’? Hardly. From what we hear of her parenting skills, she lost custody of her two older children because her partner, wife, or evil other - was abusing them. At first I didn’t give much credibility to that information but El Cato wrote about it recently and he’s as solid as JC in his reporting.
She may have given birth to some children, but I wouldn’t use her name in the same sentence with mama bear.
Ok maybe overthinking. And sometimes the mom instinct is broken (just as in the animal kingdom some moms abandon their young) as if it's true 2 of Renee's kids were taken away from her, she was not a mama bear.
But just made sense to me that the most passionate and unhinged group of useful Marxist idiots seems to be AWFL (affluent while liberal females) with no or perhaps grown children.
Yes, in fact I recently read that AWFLs are the target group of those who are trained for these protest (riots). I can’t remember where I read that, but it made sense that crazed women were most useful as protesters because they were less likely to get harsh treatment for their actions.
Very interesting observation. The thing that has always been ironic to me is that these women despise real men, but they also hate traditional feminine women. While hating masculine men, they tend to emulate the worst in men while also disparaging the best in women. It seems to me that at their core they have Daddy issues. And I mean with their Heavenly Father. They despise their Creator who made male and female. How dare He!
Yes, I saw a clip of this earlier. The instinct to defend and protect has been mis-aligned. Probably because they have fought so hard to murder babies that they cannot use it towards defending children and women. So they use it for violent criminals. I mean ... 🤯
The word "unhinged" isn't even close to describing these women. What on earth in their past happened to them that led to this? Or is it simply a social contagion in the same way that transgenderism is among teens? Or perhaps it's the end stage of the feminist movement.
18 For kthe wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,7 in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they obecame futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of rthe immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
In the case of my 32 YO daughter (who is happily married, not a man hater) who is super intelligent, and super left, I blame the (internet) culture. We restricted screens in our kids up until the last couple of years of HS when we more of less gave up as they had papers to research for and assignments online and so on. We would occasionally cut my son off due to grades but my daughter was an almost straight A student taking advanced classes and was not a partier, did not get in trouble other than the screaming matches between she and I that is part of having a teenager, so we trusted her to make good decisions. Once she graduated she was out of the house and know she spent a lot of time in her 20's on reddit, 4chan and other online groups and she quit going to church. She was always pretty introverted and a voracious reader, everything from the classics to history and was just as happy home curled up with a book vs going out to a party on a Friday night. Lord knows what she reads today, last move there were lots of boxes of books we hauled out but didn't study the titles. I think in her case she has replaced religion with socialism/communism. All I can do is pray, we do have a relationship, but very surface level and any discussion of politics is verboten and she and her husband moved to Minneapolis, so only see her a couple of times a year. Actually they are 4 blocks from where the Renee Good event went down but she was at work and was not part of it. But she is "pro-immigrant" and calls hubby and I bigots for supporting ICE.
Sorry for your loss. I have two that have nothing to do with us, because we had the audacity to call them out on bad behavior. They are now 53 and 42, and haven’t heard from them in years. It sucks, but loving them,raising them, guiding them, apparently isn’t enough these days.
I'm so sorry! It's such a heartbreak! I have 2 younger sisters that don't have a thing to do with the rest of the family for decades now. It's very difficult on my parents, who, at 72 years old are seeing the ends of the lives approaching. 💔
Funny, I went to an extremely liberal college but was never swayed from my conservatism. I was maybe a little more on the moderate side in my 20s and early 30s before having kids but never became a liberal or Democrat.
I did too, the University of Oregon! No duh, lol, liberal as they come.
Grew up conservative, then took women’s studies class, I thought it was dumb but still became liberal but not political at all, I just wasn’t interested. I did know that Carter was bad and Reagan was good, but beyond that I seriously wasn’t interested until before Obama was elected. I knew he was wrong for our country.
In my 30’s my conservative views were mostly economic as I ran my own business, but like I said they started changing during Obama’s run, and intensified in 2020. I finally woke up!
I was the opposite - raised in a D home (but my parents views were closer to R today than today's D). Actually had some conservative profs in college that started to change some of my thinking, and Ross Perot's candidacy in 1992 is what put me over the edge. I was always a policy wonk, wrote a paper in HS on the danger of budget deficits and I loved Perot's long form commercials. Had a 3 month stint of unemployment that year and spent most of it volunteering for his campaign. Of course that means I actually helped Bill Clinton get elected but was young and naïve enough to think a 3rd party candidate had a shot.
No, she was in and out of school, actually, Went to a fairly conservative school in southern MO and her room-mate was a R and they got along. But she dropped out, worked a couple of years, then went to a couple of different community colleges. Ended up with an associates in medical coding/HC administration. Graduated HS with 24 hours of college credit taking dual credit and to add it all up she has enough hours for a bachelors but couldn't make up her mind what she wanted to do. She is currently in management/does training for the University health system in MN. Left her last job as she said they were 'too profit focused' which I would tend to agree in the health field, but in her lefty mind, all profit is evil so there's that....
Yeah got a fat raise and lots of good benefits and paid holidays with her new job courtesy of the taxpayers of MN (and federal dollars unless Trump cut them off, LOL). And yet profits are dirty. Makes zero sense, but here we are.
Says she really likes her boss and co-workers as I am sure it is a big circle jerk of entitled leftists. Sigh. Just told her I was happy for her and congrats on the new job and let her lecture me about the evils of profit to keep the peace. I will say she did inherit a work ethic, she is not a slacker and sure she is very good at her job. I just wish she was not so damn wrapped up in her ideology, she is smarter than that but led by the nose by emotion.
It is an old movie, but did you ever see "Looking for Mr. Goodbar"? Diane Keaton plays a woman who is looking for a man. Not a nice man, or a gentle man, but someone who is quite the opposite of those things, and she is looking for sex. Well, (I probably saw this movie in the 70s or 80s) she does finally seem to find a guy who fits the bill, and he kills her by stabbing her "after the loving" about 20 times. It was an extremely disturbing movie, but your comment made me think of it. I am female, and God made me an INTP if that means anything to anyone. I like logic, and am a thinker much more than a feeler. I cannot identify with the crackpots out there protesting ICE. I think they are trying to wear us out and get us to give up what is good. We CANNOT let them succeed.
I have not seen that movie, but from your description (and also because I don’t care much for Diane Keaton as an actress), I don’t think it’s something I’d want to see 😳
And I am like you, female but cannot understand these crackpot women at all!! 😳
You should read the book, “Looking for Mr. Goodbar.” It is utterly chilling and it depicts the feeling of young urban professional women in the late 70s. Their newly realized status as independent, capable women led them to idealize women like Gloria Steinem . They felt they were mini-men who would be devoted to their careers and just use men the way they felt men “used” them. Very suspicious of romance or good men. I was a young urban professional during this time, but the ugliness was obvious to thinking women usually with good fathers.
Yeah I don’t think I’d enjoy reading that. From the synopsis given, I would probably dislike the main characters and be tearing my hair out at the stupidity of it all 😆
That book/movie portrays a type of woman that does exist. She is the coolest of the cool. I remember coming of age around '68-'72. The Viet Nam was was going on. Feminism was being birthed, and there was pressure to be on what I strongly felt was the wrong side of issues. I came to view any push by individuals or society to be "cool" as a push to be evil. It is hard to be a teen under the sway of so much pressure to be cool. They won back then, and our nearly baby-free land is the result.
Oh I completely believe that type of woman exists, I just don’t want to spend time reading a story about them 😛
And I agree that the pressure to be “cool” (or “popular”) is a very dangerous thing and you were right to be wary of it. I have always been the same. I am not a bandwagon rider. I am bandwagon suspicious lol 😆 Which is another reason why I was wary of the Covid shots. The whole “team Pfizer” or “Team Moderna” trend was very bizarre to me and made me immediately wary.
I read the book when it was first published; deeply disturbing. So there was no chance I could ever watch the movie. For some reasons I can read things that I could never handle watching.
One of the aspects of fiction I love most is the opportunity to live in someone else's life, even someone I might initially have little sympathy for. A great writer can flip that switch on you and you find out that you can relate to them or sympathize with them in spite of yourself. 😊
True. A good writer can take a character who is initially off putting and reveal more about the person little by little so as to make the reader more sympathetic to the character. But I’m not sure any writer is good enough to make me like or feel any sympathy for the character in this particular story, as it has been described. The description definitely doesn’t make me want to read it.
A former co-worker of mine lost her daughter to a drunk driving hit and run by a once-deported, then returned illegal alien who had a criminal history.
It’s worse than the Democrats not having a platform. The fact that they don’t have a platform means that they get people ‘on their side’ by fomenting chaos and pretending that the other side is the gestapo. It’s a very dangerous game they’re playing, and I’m wondering when, or if, there will be some leadership from their party to put a stop to instigating violence. So far I don’t see it.
I agree; I doubt we'll see that. The dems/libs are externally oriented. They cling to the negative cause du jour for their very identity. They have to be against something. I guess it gives them some sort of meaning. And today's raison d'être can always be replaced by tomorrow's pseudo-outrage. Rinse and repeat. It's an addiction to rage and a need for attention. Looking within isn't in their wheelhouse.
Exactly. I long for the day when we have two parties that are interested in what’s best for America and just disagree about how to get there. I’m afraid those days are past and never coming back, though.
It is the all-too-human desire for power or retention of power. The “protesters” are merely useful idiots, manipulated by the Democrat Party and its propaganda arm: MSM.
They have nothing to win with so their only play is to villainize opposition so that democrats become the only choice. They put EVERYTHING behind villainizing.
That’s the point the violence IS THEIR ANSWER AND WHAT THEY WANT. They want to tear down the republic and build a communist utopia a they know that violence is the only way forward. The more they lose the more they will turn to violence.
I feel for ICE officer Ross. The unhinged leftist response to his protection of his life when threatened will put him at risk every time he is in public.
Now we have another officer beat with a shovel last night, and in the early hours of the morning “protestors” destroyed ICE vehicles and stole guns and classified documents from one of their vehicle safes - and started to share the info on the internet. How that doesn’t qualify for immediate military intervention is confusing and angering me.
I don’t really like… I’m angry too! They need to face more severe consequences for sure. I’m wondering if marshall law needs to be implemented in these locations where local government and law enforcement are refusing to uphold law and order.
What I don’t understand is how those same people would treat the situation when it legally DOES require military intervention. Their present actions and logic is saying that no president ever has just cause, ever, so he’s a dictator if he dare tries to use it. There are many valid reasons to use the military internally and they are trying to shut down ALL of those reasons so that they can never be used. That’s more scary than Trump sending in the military.
Let's be honest: data centers, and uncontrolled AI (Trump has an AI taskforce that will overturn and overrule munipical regulations) will destroy the US, its environment, and they do not create as many jobs as promised - they provide tax revenue to towns and states, and ruin the water supply:
Exactly Kathleen. glad you get it! The typical corporate headquarters or manufacturing facility can have between 200 and 1,000 jobs on site. By comparison, the number of jobs at a typical data center can be anywhere between 5 and 30
Didn’t I read that Trump made a passing comment that the AI electricity requirements better not be on the backs of citizens as in AI centers have to incur the cost not the people?
I haven't focused my attention on this, but have you heard of any rising stars in the Republican party who should run against Shapiro? Republicans have not been putting forward the best candidates since I don't know when. Tom Corbett was a disaster and I don't recall the Republicans prior to him.
Is he "too Trumpy"? A friend of mine thinks that the state Republican chair (a Philadelphia lawyer) needs to be removed from that post b/c he is anti-Trump. I don't know enough about state politics to say. I'm on our county's Republican committee who by virtue of the fact that this is a blood-red county is complacent about it and doesn't see fit to have to fight for anything. And our congressman Glenn Thompson is a do-nothing congressman in a very safe seat.
And you have Trump propping up and campaigning for swamp goons like Lindsay Graham.
But hey, the permanent state zombies like Pompeo and Bolton are cheering on a lot of Trump's military moves - so they obviously must be good moves to have support of all the neocons.
I'm wondering if his "support" for Graham isn't a case of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Trump is no dummy so I'm pretty sure he knows what Graham et al are capable of. As for Pompeo and Bolton, they are cheering on Trump's military moves for a different set of reasons than what Trump's are. Check out Promethean Action's video on Youtube which will begin at 11am Eastern.
Small nuclear reactors which don't require vast amounts of water are in our near future. They'll also sell excess power generation to the grid. When do the reactors actually get built is the question, not if.
I saw a YouTube video which was amazing and completely disturbing. Exposing the Dark Side of America’s AI Data Center Explosion. Look it up. (Sorry not tech savvy enough to figure out a link 🙄).
It is very possible I might become the newest billionaire! How can that be ye asketh? Well let me tell you about my new, super-great invention that will soon sweep the planet. 🌎
It is now the year of our Lord, 2026. For the past decade, +/-, the big thing has been AI, aka Artificial Intelligence; which is now old school.
This has inspired me to fill the void the world is waiting for; ACS. Yes, we are now entering the age of ACS; Artificial Common Sense is here to stay!!!
You mean like the regime change instigators from Mossad, CIA, and MI6 that are leading the "revolution" in Iran? Those aren't organic protests, and people here who seem to be wary of media readily believe this story because it comports with what they want to believe.....
So DJT FINALLY sent out a Truth saying if the retards in MN don’t get their 💩together and let ICE do their jobs he would declare the Insurrection Act as many past Presidents have done. About time.
“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State. Thank you for you attention to this matter! President DJT”
About time but I think we are past the warnings stage, time to act. Poor Minnesotans. So many are afraid to publicly speak out for fear of what radicals locally could do to them or their businesses and family.
Not only did they revoke visas but they are also putting a hold on letting people in from countries whose people tend to depend on public assistance when they come to the US.
Did you know that each legal immigrant was to have a sponsor and that sponsor was to be responsible for the immigrant if they needed public welfare? It was their responsibility to pay back what the sponsored immigrant used in welfare. I did not know this and apparently it wasn’t being enforced?
Same with Oregon, I live here and wonder how this state is so ignored when it relates to fraud, violence, and election integrity, "hello we need help out here!" Our "lawmakers" have single hand-idly torched our economy. Praying and crossing my fingers for Cali, WA and OR.
It sounds like CBS deserves credit for improving from the dumpster fire they had become. The flip side, of course, is that they poisoned their own well so badly and for so long that it is unlikely that I will ever consume their product again. At the very least, not until about a decade of continuing improvement occurs, which will be less than half of the length of time it was declining at an exponential rate.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
I personally love the new moniker for nbc: msnbc (I refuse to capitalize it) Every time I see this, I think MS is multiple sclerosis! 🧐 Multiple Sclerosis nbc. Perhaps that's fitting after all.
As far as the corporate legacy media - off with their heads. They are useless. We should call them what they are - THE PR DIVISION OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. Bury them already
Serious question, why can't We Use Somali Welfare Fraud Loot to buy Greenland?
The NYT having to cover the civil war within the DNC signals that their efforts to create an amplify a civil war within MAGA blew up in their faces.
I pray that the poor ICE soldier who was struck by Renee Good's SUV is in a safe, trusted hospital surrounded by safe, trustworthy doctors, nurses, and hospital staff. And I pray his family is also safe; the word is that they have had to go into hiding because they were receiving so many death threats.
And the NYT wonders why people are turning on the Democrats.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! So sweet, and good advice to stay on the side of positivity (if that’s actually a word!) I may post this to my (mostly negative) Facebook feed.
It has taken me a long time to learn how to focus on the positive aspects of life daily and to count my blessings. It’s easy to get negative about life when there’s so much crazy stuff happening.
However, it feels so much better to think about the beautiful things in life -especially if there is nothing we can do about the negatives. Thinking negative thoughts too often isn’t good for your mental or physical health and most definitely not good for your spiritual/emotional health either.
Dear Senator Elissa: We folks DO know the "one or two things that actually impact people" your Democrat Party cares about: Fundamentally transforming our nation into a polyglot dumping ground for the world's criminal element ... and aggregating sufficient power to crush anyone who dares stand in your way brandishing the Constitution.
Literally wrote an article called “how democrats are destroying society” that echoes this statement: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/how-the-democrats-are-destroying
What is destroying our society is Democrats abusing welfare, coddling criminals, devaluing women, decrying White people’s rights, mentally abusing children and positioning themselves against the entire group of middle class Americans. (Not to mention taking advantage of emotionally retarded liberals.)
Where does the constitution say that illegals are entitled to welfare?
Where does it say that Americans MUST fund any NGO?????
STOP THE FUNDING AND ABUSE.
Taxpayers shouldn’t be funding anyone’s childcare but their own children!
I’m an immigrant and we NEVER got any kind of government assistance!
I’ve been a citizen for over 25 years and we never lived off welfare!
I love this country and wouldn’t want to be anywhere else! 🇺🇸
It is the best country in the world!
It’s sad that the coddled liberal embraces hive mind thought, but they’ve all been born here,with the freedom to think for themselves, and not be killed for thinking. It’s incredible. They don’t see the irony in protesting everything trump, whilst not a word regarding islam in Iran.
Sadly, they don’t actually think for themselves. They’re being manipulated.
Please reserve a pew in your church for me. Great preaching and I am in full agreement.

Well said!!! 👏👏👏

Miz Mallory oughta transplant herself to Minnesota ... she'd be a shoe-in to replace Tampon Tim as gouverneur.
NO, NO, NO! Not to Minnesota! We have more than enough challenges here trying to find the pony in a huge pile of 💩!!! 😖
Send her out to California. They like freaks out there.
North Korea seems like a great place for her!
Great idea!!
We’re tired of the freaks here too!
Hopefully Minnesota is learning a hard lesson and gets someone in office who will clean house and bring respect back to the state rather than make it an embarrassment and laughing stock.
Unfortunately, I think the patient is too far gone and on life support and there is no going back. We can only hope for a miracle.

"And until Democrats can answer the simple question, “what is a woman?”, they’ll be stuck conducting focus groups until the cows come home."
I will add until you reverse the rhetoric and actions that led to perhaps 10-100 times as many vulnerable and confused young people being harmed as there are people who would perhaps truly benefit from social or medical trans interventions, your party will be irrelevant to me other than as an enemy to be defeated.
Trump's tariffs are scaring the establishment. They won't admit they work because tariffs will bring down the Federal Reserve. That is the ultimate goal - destroy the Fed. It has enslaved Americans for over a hundred years, and is unconstitutional. Trump has put a system of external revenue in place to bypass the Fed, and at the same time is exposing how the Fed is not working for us, but for the global elites who had been looting America dry.
Any Congressman who defends the Fed and Jerome Powell are not working for the American people. They use the lie about the Fed needs to be "independent". The Fed needs to be abolished.
Question: how many congresscritters do you think are actually "working for the American people", rather than themselves and their benefactors?
I'd say that, given the history of about at least the last 75 years or so, it's a vanishingly small number.
My theory is that probably 75% of them go there with the best of intentions, but most of them get caught up in the game (I’ll vote for your bill if you support mine), the easy money, the attention, and get corrupted. I think that about 20% of them end up maintaining their integrity.
My guess is lower than that. In the first administration of the Trumper, he mentioned the fact that so many in congress were compromised that getting rid of them would limit the running of the country..so they would have to be slowly eliminated..words to that affect. I believe Lora Loomer in Texas asked candidates running for senator what plan they had to not be compromised because they would be IF they didn't have a plan. None of them had a plan. If you go there without recognizing the destroyer's goal and know how to resist it, you are lost. Put on the armor of GOD and rebuke satan as we are told.
"the Trumper" wins an award for dumbest comment of the day
I would agree with that. DC is exhibit A that absolute power corrupts absolutely, plus the human nature of starting to believe your own PR machine press releases. That being said, I am ambivalent about term limits being the answer. We have that in our state, and our legislature is in constant turmoil and rarely gets anything done as there is constant turnover and few elder statesmen (and women) who have been around long enough to know how to get good legislation written and passed. We had a voter ID bill challenged and overturned in court twice before finally getting a bill across the finish line that survived the court challenge, for instance. Those who are ambitious get elected, and immediately start grandstanding and running for the next higher office as it's a race to build name recognition and notoriety before you term out. There is little incentive to dig in and work on the 'hard problems' that take years to hammer out. For instance our education funding formula is a convoluted mess and hasn't been changed in over a decade. One who was trying admitted that 2/3rds of the legislators don't even UNDERSTAND the formula, let alone want to dig in to try to change it.
And then you get the staffers actually running things because the newbies depend on them to understand what is going on 😕
AND the lobbyists who are all too happy to 'educate' the newbies.
🎯🎯🎯
That cycle is vicious, isn’t it?
I believe that 20% preserved integrity is generous. Too much money and opportunity. Just like the myth of benignly competent and helpful civil servants, Congress members serving solely for the benefit of constituents and country is a utopian fantasy.
No one immersed in the den of thieves that is Washington DC comes out without a taint of corruption.
I listen to the Ruthless podcast, and they interview Republican office holders from across the nation and many of them are people of integrity. I’m sure they’re putting themselves in the best light, but many seem to still have integrity.
I grew up in a political (albeit D, although a different kind of D) household and have followed and been involved in politics my whole life, (born in the 60's). The D and R identities have become so polarized that thinking for yourself is verboten. My D House rep has been there 20 years, When he was first elected, he was pro-life. He is now a shill for 'reproductive rights' lest he get cancelled by his party. He is a corrupt jerk, but still he didn't used to be as bad as he is now.
During covid, I lost longtime liberal friends and stepped up my involvement and now run in a circle where all of my friends are some level of R. BUT the ones who only become political after covid have zero nuance and love to toss out the term RINO and want to cancel anyone who dares color outside the lines.
Take Thomas Massie. Have followed him for years, and generally see him as thoughtful and principled. Do I agree with all of his votes? No, but I do respect that he has views he is willing to stand for. But many of my friends disparage him and call him a RINO. Then there is Josh Hawley, though, who seems more like he just blows in the wind to try to capture the latest sentiment. He is newly into his second term and was the darling of most of my conservative friends prior to Trump's post about him but I always read him as more of an opportunist than a principled conservative.
And then there is the money. Campaign spending has risen to obscene levels and the push to raise funds is relentless. Anyone who wants to stay in office only gets traction if they raise money for the party and of course their own re-election campaigns. And there are all too many corrupting influences with fat check books.
Perhaps we need Political Party Donations Limits instead of Term Limits. I agree that the donation pools are ridiculously overfunded. Many good people, with management and fiscal responsibility skills are unable to run for office due to cost. I’d love to see caps put on the TOTAL WARCHEST instead of the donor. If a candidate gets all his money from one billionaire, who cares? So long as that’s all the money he can get, playing field will be level.
I agree about Thomas Massie. I have a lot of respect for him.
But until yesterday, I wouldn't have known who Hawley was. Today, I like him because of his exchange with the doctor who didn't know what a woman was.
Doctor: I think we should proceed from science and evidence, not politics.
Hawley: Can men get pregnant?
Doctor: That sounds like a political question.

Mrs. RW
I'm thinking less than 10%. I knew a guy who went to Congress, I was so very happy about it. He went down quick and will not be seeking re-election. I would never want to go there and be so tempted to sell my soul. I don't think I would but ... Satan is strong there, apparently.
I’d agree with you, not sure about the numbers but so many get sucked in with the power & prestige that they believe they are gods. The money is the second factor that becomes their god and totally corrupted they begin to believe they deserve it. I sure hope the dominoes start falling if nothing less for saving their sorry souls. The original sin- we want to be in control
You’re being very generous. I’m going with 1-2% have any integrity at all.
And the longer they're entrenched the higher the likelihood they've been corrupted.
Yep. Term limits!
The glass is half full preference. Evidence is that long before it was mostly empty. Most were honeypotted climbing the ladder.
% is the birds eye view concept...
Integrity is a life long missive, like a seedling has growth spurts or dries up.
I’d say 20% - if we look at policies coming from congress, 80% of them benefit organizations. Only 20% benefit the people: https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/understanding-the-ruling-class-of
Sorry, Signcut. I can't count that low.
Part of the problem is that you cannot impose your will on your fellow legislators. Plato basically said that you either compromise or get killed. So even if you go in with the best of intentions and do not take bribes, you will be a target.
Like Minnesota state representative Hortman and husband who paid with her (and husband’s) life. Dems are in a “…..steal, kill and destroy” mission.
Apparently the Walz apparatus is at one with the Clinton mafia.
Jeff Sessions was on record as being the only Congress member who never took a dime. The number of non corrupt Congress members is so small you would need a microscope to see it.
Have you read The Creature from Jekyll Island? The Fed was a sham from the get go.
Yes! It is quite a tome, and I haven’t read the whole thing yet, but it’s fascinating, SHOCKING, and highly recommended reading.
There is a condensed version that tells the story called “Dishonest Money” by Joseph Plummer. It is even available for free on his website. Does an excellent and concise job so you don’t have to go through the “tome.”
There’s also a Tuttle Twins version for kids that is somewhat simplified.
That sounds like the version for me! I used to be an avid reader, but I had no time for reading when raising my children, and now presbyopia (literally “old age vision”) has taken the fun out of it. And reading a real book would take time away from poring over Substack and doom-scrolling Twitter/X.
I hope it has a lot of drawings.
There are a few 😆 if I remember correctly.

I believe it even had an endorsement by Ed Griffin.
G. Ed Griffin is a font of knowledge. Worth reading everything he writes.
Imagine a world without ludicrous financial bubbles that totally distort economic reality. Imagine a world where fiscal recklessness is quickly reflected in the markets. Imagine a world...
Ok Rod. ;)
Beckadee, I see what you did there. Clever.
😂
Absolutely right! Trumps plan from the beginning 🙏🙏
Exactly. We have been talking for about 20 years about the Brits (and others) have been in control of our economy through the Federal Reserve for over 100 years. It’s finally coming out, and Starmer and Jerome Powell are BIG MAD
Interestingly, Promethean Action will be talking about this, and other things, on their YouTube channel in a few minutes.

It's awesome they are growing! People like what they say.
You're welcome, yes, they have grown much lately, many new followers.
I noticed that!!!! I started following when they had around 40 followers and it is amazing, watching them grow so quickly.
THanks for the reminder. Susan and Barbara are 2 of my favorites.
At least an audit! I don't think it has ever been done.
Sorry Dave, but how do tariffs replace the fed exactly? The math doesn't add up - at all. I agree the Fed needs to go, but I don't see how this is even remotely realistic.

Janice, when is your procedure being done?
Hi Elaine, it is Thursday the 22nd beginning at noon. Had my preop yesterday, and the nurse practitioner said, "I'm going to go talk to the anesthesiologist because your case is so unique." I said, "You mean weird." She laughed. Thank you for asking and for praying for me!
Continuing to pray for you Janice!! 🙏🙏🙏
Unique?
Yes, I have some rare vessel issues, hence the chest angiogram, plus a zillion allergies to meds.
As always, good luck.
I identify with that. I cannot take most antibiotics. Will be praying for you.
This is so bizarre to me. Just goes to show how illogical these women are 🙄 They are fueled by rage against men. So they use their rage against men to help and defend men who have been arrested for trafficking, sexually abusing women and children and murdering and/or assaulting people (also frequently women and children). I just can’t with these morons 🙄🙄🙄
https://pjmedia.com/tim-o-brien/2026/01/14/man-hating-anti-ice-observer-says-quiet-part-out-loud-on-why-she-does-it-n4948285?
Well, it's not logic-based, it's emotion. Debate is therefore going to be useless.
I'm not sure why we insist on debating regime mouthpieces, protestors or anyone else espousing illogical or anti-American positions.
We should just be moving forward with what we know needs to be done, not talking with completely captured chaos agents.
I'd also recommend a stronger reaction with regards to these protestors.
Of course. That was my point. It’s not logical at all, completely emotion based (the “rage” part is a big clue to that 😆😁). I agree that we shouldn’t debate them and just do what is necessary.
I kind of think we should just leave all of these women who are so passionately defending the Tren de Aragua gang members and various other traffickers and criminals in a room together and let them do what they want. I know, not very nice of me but I honestly so sick of these idiots helping to put other people in danger with their foolishness 🙄
There's the centuries-old stereotype that women = illogical, irrational, emotional; while men = logical, rational, unemotional. The raging man-hating feminist agitators only amplify that stereotype. That division is also the purpose of feminism, or one of them at least.
As a woman, they make me roll my eyes and cringe 😕 I hate that they reinforce that stereotype. I’ve always tried to have a logical approach and can’t stand the way these women operate. It’s really just the same kind of manipulative tactic that women who had no power in the past use to use to get power and attention. Pathetic.
You'd think, after millennia, we'd get that we're meant for each other.
Same here RL!
Unfortunately that stereotype is true. Remember Eve?😳😬
Well yes Eve. But we’re all individuals, not carbon copies of Eve. It may be a large and vocal minority or maybe even a majority that fit the stereotype, but there are also lots of counter examples. I dislike being reduced to a stereotype, personally. It’s just a facile way of thinking imo.
I agree. But like a teenager saying “SHE started it!!!!” I felt the need to blame her 😂😂😂.
(My daughter is experiencing peri-menopause…..and she keeps saying “Damn that Eve!”So……right now we are in the “She started it!!” mode.
Forgive me, please Father God…….bbbbbbut it’s Eve’s fault!
If you don't have any solutions, create problems. The Dems have no solutions where they take the opposite side of the Republicans. I've always thought that the Politicians should join forces to solve problems and then argue later who actually was helpful in solving problems. But, the Uniparty world is probably more dangerous. We would never catch the taxpayer wasting of money through fraud.
So much in this Substack today! I liked your description of how to read and discern propaganda! I don’t read the NYT, so I don’t have to worry about their reporting; just as I no longer watch MSM reporting on TV. I easily can discern their propaganda from clips I see on alternative media outlets.
Did you all catch that the new Governor of Virginia is going to bring back DEI to the state? More democrat crap!!
Running Logic here’s a real scary female dem . https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/meet-the-millennial-influencer-running-to-be-michigans-next-us-senator
😳
Scary female Dem-isn’t that redundant though 😆😛
Amen
I'm all for that RL
Absolutely agree.
Who's not nice? What is the definition of nice?
Not nice to throw them to the wolves that way. But it’s kind of like letting a kid face the natural consequences of their choices in a way, I guess. You want to help and defend these thugs, we’ll let THEM have you since you love them so much 🙄
Are you talking to me?!
Responding to your question about “nice”. I was clarifying what I meant when I wrote that in my other comment. Or trying to, apparently I wasn’t as clear as I thought 😆
And “you” was meant as “you women defending the illegal immigrant thugs”. Not *you* RJ Rambler.
The most important thing I learned from Scott Adams (RIP) is just how many people are entirely ruled by their emotions. Add to that how a clever manipulator can tap into it and get them to believe complete lies that are 100% at odds with reality around them. Once you see this is can't be unseen, and you'll be amazed you never saw it before.
That's why I'm immediately suspicious of ANYONE trying to provoke an emotional response in others, particularly if doing so in apparent bad faith. The Dems do it like breathing but there are plenty of people supposedly on our side who do it to, Ben Shapiro being among the most egregious. Note how much of what he says seems intended to make you feel angry or guilty. It's not an accident.
Plus women are far more susceptible to this than men, that's not sexist but just a statement of fact. Men are women are different, men being the provider/protector, and women being the nurturers. Nurturing a child requires an emotional attachment unlike any other on Earth. However, once that emotional attachment gets hijacked into a "cause" other than mothering, it results in the insanity we see today.
That last point I believe is why the Bible specifically prohibits female pastors and elders, they are (generally) far too susceptible to emotional manipulation. Satan is the Father of all lies, and he knows this all too well.
I listen to talk radio when I am in my car, and the vast majority of the conservative voices are every bit as bad at times. Like Bongino's "they hate you" commentary from his show before he left for the FBI. The left is easy to bash, but there is some nuance there where some issues are not black and white. Before Trump, R's shrugged off illegal immigration as it was cheap labor that kept inflation in check, wages low and profit margins high. Now some of these same folks are embracing ICE operations as that is where the wind is blowing.
Same on social media. Emotion fueled rants get clicks, which is the currency that helps people make a living off being an 'influencer'. We are all guilty although I try to stick to written stuff as it is generally more even handed. But I run in circles with lots of politically active folks, and people send me video clips all day long, and the vast majority of them are click bait. Don't watch most of them as I would never get anything done if all I did was watch videos.
You seem to be ignoring the fact that Republicans voted, many times , 100% against the RATS, but we did not have a majority. And, even now we only have a ‘simple’ majority.
Please stop ignoring that fact.
The problem with Republicans is that they actually do BELIEVE in listening to and debating opposing viewpoints. We need a SUPER-majority to actually get anything reasonable passed, because the DEMONS are represented by the D party (including those demons who ran as Republicans because they couldn’t win as demonicRATS).
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Oh no doubt the R's pre Trump were mostly as weak-kneed as they come. Remember the campaign promises to repeal and replace Obamacare?! And it IS frustrating as h*ll that when we DO get a majority we squander it. But there is also a distinction between the rank and file conservatives and those who end up in elected office. "uni-party" is a thing and too many of those we elect belong to that party. Fine line between those who vote differently based on their own principles, which I do respect, and those who vote differently due to pandering (like those voting for extending Obamacare subsidies so they can get re-elected in tough districts) or satisfying campaign donors. A lot more of the latter than the former.
Yes, very true.
I am a woman born as a female and will die as one. And I absolutely agree that a woman does NOT need to be ‘over’ men in a church.
Never argue with anyone idiot. They will only drag you down to their level and beat you with stupidity.
Proverbs 26:4-6,8 NASB95
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him. [5] Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes. [6] He cuts off his own feet and drinks violence Who sends a message by the hand of a fool. [8] Like one who binds a stone in a sling, So is he who gives honor to a fool.
While I agree with your frustration concerning the insistence on debating people who aren't using reason, I don't think it's to convince them, but others hearing the debate.
👏🏽
Good point.

An inside look at the mindset of WFL activity from a reformed wokist. Long but full of insight.
I don't know where I read it and sadly, did not save it, but think the opinion piece was based off an interview with Brett Weinstein. The gist of it was, we are still products of instinct and evolution, and just as we talked about the ire of the 'mama bears' fighting the covid BS in the schools, young females are wired to walk through fire and broken glass to defend and protect our children. Except many of these man-hating AWFL's don't have children. But the instinct is still there. So rather than fight for their children, all of the effort is re-directed into fighting to defend this "religion" of Woke Virtue. Just as a mama bear is extremely dangerous if you mess with her cubs, these women are dangerous as to how far they will go to defend their misguided sense of ideals.
All of that sounds like overthinking the situation. Why not just say they are deranged? Renee Good was probably a man hater as seems obvious by the fact that she was a lesbian, but ‘mama bear’? Hardly. From what we hear of her parenting skills, she lost custody of her two older children because her partner, wife, or evil other - was abusing them. At first I didn’t give much credibility to that information but El Cato wrote about it recently and he’s as solid as JC in his reporting.
She may have given birth to some children, but I wouldn’t use her name in the same sentence with mama bear.
Ok maybe overthinking. And sometimes the mom instinct is broken (just as in the animal kingdom some moms abandon their young) as if it's true 2 of Renee's kids were taken away from her, she was not a mama bear.
But just made sense to me that the most passionate and unhinged group of useful Marxist idiots seems to be AWFL (affluent while liberal females) with no or perhaps grown children.
Yes, in fact I recently read that AWFLs are the target group of those who are trained for these protest (riots). I can’t remember where I read that, but it made sense that crazed women were most useful as protesters because they were less likely to get harsh treatment for their actions.
And more likely than (most) men to be led by emotion.
Men seem to be led by anger a lot though. Maybe less by fear or being unpopular which seems to be more the way women trend.
Very interesting observation. The thing that has always been ironic to me is that these women despise real men, but they also hate traditional feminine women. While hating masculine men, they tend to emulate the worst in men while also disparaging the best in women. It seems to me that at their core they have Daddy issues. And I mean with their Heavenly Father. They despise their Creator who made male and female. How dare He!
Yes I think you are on to something there.
You might be right, but it is the supreme irony that they don't have kids because they aborted any pregnancies they did have.
Yes, I saw a clip of this earlier. The instinct to defend and protect has been mis-aligned. Probably because they have fought so hard to murder babies that they cannot use it towards defending children and women. So they use it for violent criminals. I mean ... 🤯
That’s an interesting perspective!
The word "unhinged" isn't even close to describing these women. What on earth in their past happened to them that led to this? Or is it simply a social contagion in the same way that transgenderism is among teens? Or perhaps it's the end stage of the feminist movement.
It is a spiritual problem.
Demons are real.
God ain’t playin’.
Romans Chapter 1
18 For kthe wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,7 in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they obecame futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of rthe immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
I love this section of Romans. Paul doesn’t mince words, and this sounds like a fairly apt description of Renee Good.
In the case of my 32 YO daughter (who is happily married, not a man hater) who is super intelligent, and super left, I blame the (internet) culture. We restricted screens in our kids up until the last couple of years of HS when we more of less gave up as they had papers to research for and assignments online and so on. We would occasionally cut my son off due to grades but my daughter was an almost straight A student taking advanced classes and was not a partier, did not get in trouble other than the screaming matches between she and I that is part of having a teenager, so we trusted her to make good decisions. Once she graduated she was out of the house and know she spent a lot of time in her 20's on reddit, 4chan and other online groups and she quit going to church. She was always pretty introverted and a voracious reader, everything from the classics to history and was just as happy home curled up with a book vs going out to a party on a Friday night. Lord knows what she reads today, last move there were lots of boxes of books we hauled out but didn't study the titles. I think in her case she has replaced religion with socialism/communism. All I can do is pray, we do have a relationship, but very surface level and any discussion of politics is verboten and she and her husband moved to Minneapolis, so only see her a couple of times a year. Actually they are 4 blocks from where the Renee Good event went down but she was at work and was not part of it. But she is "pro-immigrant" and calls hubby and I bigots for supporting ICE.
Keep praying for her; it's her best chance.
Sorry for your loss. I have two that have nothing to do with us, because we had the audacity to call them out on bad behavior. They are now 53 and 42, and haven’t heard from them in years. It sucks, but loving them,raising them, guiding them, apparently isn’t enough these days.
I'm so sorry! It's such a heartbreak! I have 2 younger sisters that don't have a thing to do with the rest of the family for decades now. It's very difficult on my parents, who, at 72 years old are seeing the ends of the lives approaching. 💔
I’m sorry 😞 I hope they will see things differently one day soon.
I pray she will see the light as she gets older and go back to her roots and what she was taught as a child.
Donna, did she go to a liberal college?
Funny, I went to an extremely liberal college but was never swayed from my conservatism. I was maybe a little more on the moderate side in my 20s and early 30s before having kids but never became a liberal or Democrat.
I did too, the University of Oregon! No duh, lol, liberal as they come.
Grew up conservative, then took women’s studies class, I thought it was dumb but still became liberal but not political at all, I just wasn’t interested. I did know that Carter was bad and Reagan was good, but beyond that I seriously wasn’t interested until before Obama was elected. I knew he was wrong for our country.
In my 30’s my conservative views were mostly economic as I ran my own business, but like I said they started changing during Obama’s run, and intensified in 2020. I finally woke up!
I was the opposite - raised in a D home (but my parents views were closer to R today than today's D). Actually had some conservative profs in college that started to change some of my thinking, and Ross Perot's candidacy in 1992 is what put me over the edge. I was always a policy wonk, wrote a paper in HS on the danger of budget deficits and I loved Perot's long form commercials. Had a 3 month stint of unemployment that year and spent most of it volunteering for his campaign. Of course that means I actually helped Bill Clinton get elected but was young and naïve enough to think a 3rd party candidate had a shot.
No, she was in and out of school, actually, Went to a fairly conservative school in southern MO and her room-mate was a R and they got along. But she dropped out, worked a couple of years, then went to a couple of different community colleges. Ended up with an associates in medical coding/HC administration. Graduated HS with 24 hours of college credit taking dual credit and to add it all up she has enough hours for a bachelors but couldn't make up her mind what she wanted to do. She is currently in management/does training for the University health system in MN. Left her last job as she said they were 'too profit focused' which I would tend to agree in the health field, but in her lefty mind, all profit is evil so there's that....
Interesting, they hate capitalism yet want top paying jobs, illogical.
Hope she figures it out, she has a good momma.
Right?? 🙄 Isn’t that always the way?
Yeah got a fat raise and lots of good benefits and paid holidays with her new job courtesy of the taxpayers of MN (and federal dollars unless Trump cut them off, LOL). And yet profits are dirty. Makes zero sense, but here we are.
Says she really likes her boss and co-workers as I am sure it is a big circle jerk of entitled leftists. Sigh. Just told her I was happy for her and congrats on the new job and let her lecture me about the evils of profit to keep the peace. I will say she did inherit a work ethic, she is not a slacker and sure she is very good at her job. I just wish she was not so damn wrapped up in her ideology, she is smarter than that but led by the nose by emotion.
Bad wiring.
It is an old movie, but did you ever see "Looking for Mr. Goodbar"? Diane Keaton plays a woman who is looking for a man. Not a nice man, or a gentle man, but someone who is quite the opposite of those things, and she is looking for sex. Well, (I probably saw this movie in the 70s or 80s) she does finally seem to find a guy who fits the bill, and he kills her by stabbing her "after the loving" about 20 times. It was an extremely disturbing movie, but your comment made me think of it. I am female, and God made me an INTP if that means anything to anyone. I like logic, and am a thinker much more than a feeler. I cannot identify with the crackpots out there protesting ICE. I think they are trying to wear us out and get us to give up what is good. We CANNOT let them succeed.
I have not seen that movie, but from your description (and also because I don’t care much for Diane Keaton as an actress), I don’t think it’s something I’d want to see 😳
And I am like you, female but cannot understand these crackpot women at all!! 😳
You should read the book, “Looking for Mr. Goodbar.” It is utterly chilling and it depicts the feeling of young urban professional women in the late 70s. Their newly realized status as independent, capable women led them to idealize women like Gloria Steinem . They felt they were mini-men who would be devoted to their careers and just use men the way they felt men “used” them. Very suspicious of romance or good men. I was a young urban professional during this time, but the ugliness was obvious to thinking women usually with good fathers.
Yeah I don’t think I’d enjoy reading that. From the synopsis given, I would probably dislike the main characters and be tearing my hair out at the stupidity of it all 😆
That book/movie portrays a type of woman that does exist. She is the coolest of the cool. I remember coming of age around '68-'72. The Viet Nam was was going on. Feminism was being birthed, and there was pressure to be on what I strongly felt was the wrong side of issues. I came to view any push by individuals or society to be "cool" as a push to be evil. It is hard to be a teen under the sway of so much pressure to be cool. They won back then, and our nearly baby-free land is the result.
Oh I completely believe that type of woman exists, I just don’t want to spend time reading a story about them 😛
And I agree that the pressure to be “cool” (or “popular”) is a very dangerous thing and you were right to be wary of it. I have always been the same. I am not a bandwagon rider. I am bandwagon suspicious lol 😆 Which is another reason why I was wary of the Covid shots. The whole “team Pfizer” or “Team Moderna” trend was very bizarre to me and made me immediately wary.
I am right there with you smart and informed women 💥
They're the best!
Evil deflects to others and appears as the light of an angel.. Satan himself.
ENTJ and I don't identify with these people either!
Saw it, was horrible. My girl at the time, loved Diane Keaton, who was a nobody at the time, so we went to the theatre to see it. Yikes.
I read the book when it was first published; deeply disturbing. So there was no chance I could ever watch the movie. For some reasons I can read things that I could never handle watching.
I have a hard time reading books (especially now that I’m older) with a main character that I can’t relate to or at least sympathize with.
One of the aspects of fiction I love most is the opportunity to live in someone else's life, even someone I might initially have little sympathy for. A great writer can flip that switch on you and you find out that you can relate to them or sympathize with them in spite of yourself. 😊
True. A good writer can take a character who is initially off putting and reveal more about the person little by little so as to make the reader more sympathetic to the character. But I’m not sure any writer is good enough to make me like or feel any sympathy for the character in this particular story, as it has been described. The description definitely doesn’t make me want to read it.
A former co-worker of mine lost her daughter to a drunk driving hit and run by a once-deported, then returned illegal alien who had a criminal history.
Here's another example of that:
https://substack.com/@manofsteele/note/c-195348054?r=rktkg&utm_source=notes-share-action&utm_medium=web
Heartbreaking.
That’s horrible 😞 So sad. Many recent examples of this same kind of thing in my local area in the past few years 😞😞😞
I hope she doesn't have sons, with that level of generalized rage towards men.
Women...
Not all of us…
And the men certainly have their share of insanity too 😑
It’s worse than the Democrats not having a platform. The fact that they don’t have a platform means that they get people ‘on their side’ by fomenting chaos and pretending that the other side is the gestapo. It’s a very dangerous game they’re playing, and I’m wondering when, or if, there will be some leadership from their party to put a stop to instigating violence. So far I don’t see it.
I agree; I doubt we'll see that. The dems/libs are externally oriented. They cling to the negative cause du jour for their very identity. They have to be against something. I guess it gives them some sort of meaning. And today's raison d'être can always be replaced by tomorrow's pseudo-outrage. Rinse and repeat. It's an addiction to rage and a need for attention. Looking within isn't in their wheelhouse.
Exactly. I long for the day when we have two parties that are interested in what’s best for America and just disagree about how to get there. I’m afraid those days are past and never coming back, though.
Martin Armstrong says the US will fragment by ideology. I agree with him. I don't know what it will look like.
It is the all-too-human desire for power or retention of power. The “protesters” are merely useful idiots, manipulated by the Democrat Party and its propaganda arm: MSM.
👍👍👍
All the flag buying must get expensive. I wish I had kept track of the ones they went through. LOL
They have nothing to win with so their only play is to villainize opposition so that democrats become the only choice. They put EVERYTHING behind villainizing.
That’s the point the violence IS THEIR ANSWER AND WHAT THEY WANT. They want to tear down the republic and build a communist utopia a they know that violence is the only way forward. The more they lose the more they will turn to violence.
Unfortunately I think you’re right.
And it's a very old game. Why do people still fall for it? (rhetorical)
Seems like both sides enjoy chaos.
I feel for ICE officer Ross. The unhinged leftist response to his protection of his life when threatened will put him at risk every time he is in public.
Now we have another officer beat with a shovel last night, and in the early hours of the morning “protestors” destroyed ICE vehicles and stole guns and classified documents from one of their vehicle safes - and started to share the info on the internet. How that doesn’t qualify for immediate military intervention is confusing and angering me.
Along with Waltz egging on the whole situation. Where are the consequences for him?
Or maybe he wants it escalated so his wife can get her "smell of burning ribber" fix.
I don’t really like… I’m angry too! They need to face more severe consequences for sure. I’m wondering if marshall law needs to be implemented in these locations where local government and law enforcement are refusing to uphold law and order.
They are goading ICE and the Federal Government (Trump) to bring in military intervention. It supports their claims that Trump = dictator.
What I don’t understand is how those same people would treat the situation when it legally DOES require military intervention. Their present actions and logic is saying that no president ever has just cause, ever, so he’s a dictator if he dare tries to use it. There are many valid reasons to use the military internally and they are trying to shut down ALL of those reasons so that they can never be used. That’s more scary than Trump sending in the military.
Hate liking this. I’d still ne perfectly fine with Americans taking charge, and beating these people senseless.
I saw that 😞
Him, and his wife and (if they have any) their children. Doxxing incoming ...
I think there is a GFM account for him. Accounts for his aggressor is much more. Also, I read the man at Ford who was calling Potus names is more.
Let's be honest: data centers, and uncontrolled AI (Trump has an AI taskforce that will overturn and overrule munipical regulations) will destroy the US, its environment, and they do not create as many jobs as promised - they provide tax revenue to towns and states, and ruin the water supply:
https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/data-center-comes-to-camp-verde-az
It's about surveillance and control, not about making America strong.
Those AI centers are staffed by very few employees.
Waiting for my electric bill to go up even more with AI centers in PA.
Exactly Kathleen. glad you get it! The typical corporate headquarters or manufacturing facility can have between 200 and 1,000 jobs on site. By comparison, the number of jobs at a typical data center can be anywhere between 5 and 30
The the amount of energy and WATER they require is more than a small city.
Didn’t I read that Trump made a passing comment that the AI electricity requirements better not be on the backs of citizens as in AI centers have to incur the cost not the people?
PA Gov. Shapiro will just ignore him.
Our electric bills have almost doubled for the same amount of usage.
New green scams are to blame. Sun doesn't shine much in PA during the winter, yet the state wants to depend on wind and solar.
We have the same nonsense gg in in CT.
I haven't focused my attention on this, but have you heard of any rising stars in the Republican party who should run against Shapiro? Republicans have not been putting forward the best candidates since I don't know when. Tom Corbett was a disaster and I don't recall the Republicans prior to him.
I always thought Doug Mastriano should run, but I read somewhere where he was discouraged from running for Governor,
Is he "too Trumpy"? A friend of mine thinks that the state Republican chair (a Philadelphia lawyer) needs to be removed from that post b/c he is anti-Trump. I don't know enough about state politics to say. I'm on our county's Republican committee who by virtue of the fact that this is a blood-red county is complacent about it and doesn't see fit to have to fight for anything. And our congressman Glenn Thompson is a do-nothing congressman in a very safe seat.
And you have Trump propping up and campaigning for swamp goons like Lindsay Graham.
But hey, the permanent state zombies like Pompeo and Bolton are cheering on a lot of Trump's military moves - so they obviously must be good moves to have support of all the neocons.
I'm wondering if his "support" for Graham isn't a case of "keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Trump is no dummy so I'm pretty sure he knows what Graham et al are capable of. As for Pompeo and Bolton, they are cheering on Trump's military moves for a different set of reasons than what Trump's are. Check out Promethean Action's video on Youtube which will begin at 11am Eastern.
Small nuclear reactors which don't require vast amounts of water are in our near future. They'll also sell excess power generation to the grid. When do the reactors actually get built is the question, not if.
Elon is also talking about space Data Centers. Anything is possible when Elon is in charge.
He posted this on his Truth Social page a day or two ago.
So so many in Loudoun county VA…I hate it.
Your saving grace is Cornerstone Chapel!
I’ve heard good things about Cornerstone. We love Reston Bible Church. 😇
Idk reston but cornerstone is gonna be next to impossible to beat! It’s online so do both and see
I've seen them in Loudon County, VA. Huge monoliths that are a blight on the land.
I saw a YouTube video which was amazing and completely disturbing. Exposing the Dark Side of America’s AI Data Center Explosion. Look it up. (Sorry not tech savvy enough to figure out a link 🙄).

Thank you Kathleen! 😘
Reaching thousands with the good news of Jesus!!
It is very possible I might become the newest billionaire! How can that be ye asketh? Well let me tell you about my new, super-great invention that will soon sweep the planet. 🌎
It is now the year of our Lord, 2026. For the past decade, +/-, the big thing has been AI, aka Artificial Intelligence; which is now old school.
This has inspired me to fill the void the world is waiting for; ACS. Yes, we are now entering the age of ACS; Artificial Common Sense is here to stay!!!
And it's all my idea ....... !
👁️👁️
The problem is instead of needing rare earth minerals for AI you will need rare intelligent brain cells which are very hard to find these days.
Can we purchase that as a gift for.... someone we know? Is shipping included? Is there an Express install for ACS?
LOL!!! Really should be a thing
Right?? I can think of several people I’d like to send that gift to 😆😁
Send it COD, though.
You will be treated worse than Tesla! The idea if giving away common sense without charging an elite university’s tuition!
😅🤣😂
“Expert” is code word for regime bootlicker. MSM regurgitates copy pasta as propaganda like a human centipede of slop. Here is a full glossary of demoralized doublespeak terms: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/demoralilzed-doublespeak-dictionary-2025
100%
With her obfuscation, she outed herself as working for some other purpose than truth and science.
She should, therefore, be excluded from the conversation going forward.
Science is not truth.
Expert is in charge of enforcing a two party belief system.
You mean like the regime change instigators from Mossad, CIA, and MI6 that are leading the "revolution" in Iran? Those aren't organic protests, and people here who seem to be wary of media readily believe this story because it comports with what they want to believe.....
So DJT FINALLY sent out a Truth saying if the retards in MN don’t get their 💩together and let ICE do their jobs he would declare the Insurrection Act as many past Presidents have done. About time.
What is he waiting for?!?!?
Patience, The Trumpster is the master of timing. Jeff's discussion on election lawsuit timing is a good example.
When???
Ok he said this 2 hours ago on Truth Social:
“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State. Thank you for you attention to this matter! President DJT”
About time but I think we are past the warnings stage, time to act. Poor Minnesotans. So many are afraid to publicly speak out for fear of what radicals locally could do to them or their businesses and family.
Not only did they revoke visas but they are also putting a hold on letting people in from countries whose people tend to depend on public assistance when they come to the US.
https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/01/14/state-dept-to-pause-visa-processing-from-countries-whose-migrants-take-welfare-at-unacceptable-rates-n2423925?
Did you know that each legal immigrant was to have a sponsor and that sponsor was to be responsible for the immigrant if they needed public welfare? It was their responsibility to pay back what the sponsored immigrant used in welfare. I did not know this and apparently it wasn’t being enforced?
I did know that. Apparently as you said, it hasn’t been enforced.
WA state’s 100% mail-in voting is hugely problematic. Crossing my fingers this will finally be addressed.
The Minnesota thing stunned me. Any verified voter can "vouch" for any other EIGHT people as voters!! No ID, no verification, nothing but fraud.
Same with Oregon, I live here and wonder how this state is so ignored when it relates to fraud, violence, and election integrity, "hello we need help out here!" Our "lawmakers" have single hand-idly torched our economy. Praying and crossing my fingers for Cali, WA and OR.
And all the states!!🤞🏼it is Election Day not Month🙆🏻♀️
It sounds like CBS deserves credit for improving from the dumpster fire they had become. The flip side, of course, is that they poisoned their own well so badly and for so long that it is unlikely that I will ever consume their product again. At the very least, not until about a decade of continuing improvement occurs, which will be less than half of the length of time it was declining at an exponential rate.
Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.
I personally love the new moniker for nbc: msnbc (I refuse to capitalize it) Every time I see this, I think MS is multiple sclerosis! 🧐 Multiple Sclerosis nbc. Perhaps that's fitting after all.
please do not sully multiple sclerosis by comparing it to msnbc.
I know. And I truly apologize to all the people who have MS. It's a terrible disease...hmmmm
I still prefer Rush Limbaugh's attribution: PMS-NBC
Just think “Ms.” They tend to “report” like deranged feminazis as Rush used to say. 🎙️☕️🍪
Asking a leftist to define a woman is crazy work.
They are walking memes.
As far as the corporate legacy media - off with their heads. They are useless. We should call them what they are - THE PR DIVISION OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY. Bury them already
Serious question, why can't We Use Somali Welfare Fraud Loot to buy Greenland?
https://torrancestephensphd.substack.com/p/why-cant-we-use-somali-welfare-fraud
I want to start seeing some articles about DOJ dragging money back from the fraudsters, whom DOJ has sent to prison.
use the fraud money to buy Greenland and the Somalis, and Venezuelan gang members as cannon fodder in Ukraine...everyone wins.
The NYT having to cover the civil war within the DNC signals that their efforts to create an amplify a civil war within MAGA blew up in their faces.
I pray that the poor ICE soldier who was struck by Renee Good's SUV is in a safe, trusted hospital surrounded by safe, trustworthy doctors, nurses, and hospital staff. And I pray his family is also safe; the word is that they have had to go into hiding because they were receiving so many death threats.
And the NYT wonders why people are turning on the Democrats.
Yes, I prayed he didn't get a Nurse who decided to "not ze" treat people with different political opinions!
As we hurry along on life’s journey today
With the joy and the sorrow it brings,
And never a thought what we pass on the way
Let us look for the beautiful things.
There is music that’s free, that will surely beguile
‘Tis the song of the bird as he sings,
And the sun-kissed breeze makes us linger awhile.
Just to look for the beautiful things.
Let us close our eyes to the faults of a friend
Drop them deep in oblivion’s springs,
As we travel along to life’s golden end
We can always find beautiful things.
~Lucile B. Ballard

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this! So sweet, and good advice to stay on the side of positivity (if that’s actually a word!) I may post this to my (mostly negative) Facebook feed.
Marlene,
It has taken me a long time to learn how to focus on the positive aspects of life daily and to count my blessings. It’s easy to get negative about life when there’s so much crazy stuff happening.
However, it feels so much better to think about the beautiful things in life -especially if there is nothing we can do about the negatives. Thinking negative thoughts too often isn’t good for your mental or physical health and most definitely not good for your spiritual/emotional health either.
