Somewhere online there is a video of a Paul Offit interview where the interviewer asks Paul if he was going to take the upcoming Covid booster. To my shock, Paul Offit said on camera that he was NOT going to take the booster himself because he considered himself to be in pretty good shape. Think about that, folks. Paul Offit, the old geezer, didn't think that he needed a Covid booster. But he was very happy to approve it for your 6-month-old child! What a jerk!
Be sure to follow my work on the WHITE FIBROUS CLOTS at my assistant Ms. Laura Kasner's FREE Substack called "Clotastrophe" at: LauraKasner.Substack.com
You are too kind to label this criminal a jerk, unless you append that with dead... which is surely what he needs to be for the damage he personally inflicted on humanity.
This quote somehow has become debatable, though the idea is real:
"Once the herd accepts the mandatory vaccines, it's game over. They will accept anything -forcable blood or organ donation- "for the greater good". We can genetically modify children---and sterilize them--- "for the greater good". Control sheep minds and you control the herd. Vaccine makers stand to make billions. And many of you in this room are investors. It's a big win-win. We thin out the herd and the herd pays us for extermination services."
As Florida goes, so must the nation. Some sadly say this about CA, but that’s in opposite world where it really needs to be as CA goes, go the opposite way!
No offense implied, but it’s too bad you picked Yahoo News for the story instead of a newsgroup that didn’t rely on Pharma dollars. Even the comments were off the charts ridiculous.
On the positive, I agree with Florida’s decision. Thanks for letting us know.
I agree. And to this day they all continue to stand and shake their fists screaming, the vaccines are safe and effective and saved millions.
Hoping Trump's post about making the manufacturers fess up on the crime that it didn't save anyone and is killing and injuring MILLIONS, perhaps BILLIONS will be the beginning to finally ending this crime against all of us?
A retired Navy Captain, very smart woman, still thinks the jab is safe and effective. We go around and round about it. She is one of my favorite mentors from my time in service and it blows my mind. She really believes it.
May, what I have come to believe from living in the capitol of my very blue state, and knowing MANY people who will defend their decisions to the death, can not, will not be open to the suggestion that they may have been lied to. They consider themselves highly intelligent and read the NY Times and listen to NPR, rush to the CDC website for information, trust their MD, etc. Not one MD at our local hospital has suggested to 7 people I know whose symptoms (IMO) reflect mini strokes was told this could be from the shot! All ages! Slurred speech, loss of balance, forgetting loved one's names....the docs perform all the "tests", give them a clean bill of health and send them home with prescriptions for statins and other meds that absolutely don't coincide with their symptoms!
Spiritual warfare is the only answer that I can reason. So many people can’t see the evil around them and often support it. Nothing says it more than abortion. A mother kills her own child and defends it. It breaks my heart.
And being completely honest, which she wont be, being a loathsome Navy Captain (tee hee), she can't say she is also afraid she is going to die earlier than she would have had she not got the shot!
Dan, I'm with you because I believe that Trump has been spared by GOD for His purposes. GOD chooses imperfect people to do His Will. I pray daily that President Trump does GOD's Will on behalf of the American people.
we use it in the Boston area as well. ( a lot to refer to guys like Offit) I agree with the notion of giving him 10,000 of them. Preferably within a day or two...
He did actually and paid dearly for it as he ended up a lot of side effects. He was one of the inventors of the mRNA platform but I don’t think he knew the other goodies that they put in the bioweapon as he was gone by the time this vax was put together and part of the great pandemic farce.
A lot of controlled opposition out there. He said that he took the shot but denied entry into a conference in Italy for not doing so. He is the smartest in the room and would not take an unknown Injection. He knows where the bodies are buried in this bioweapon.
What a luciferian. What a "not-see." What a trans-humanist worshipper of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Paul Offit believes that he knows better than you, what you should do with respect to your genetics. He believes that he is aware of where God has "made mistakes."
Speaking of luciferians, would it be appropriate to unmask some DC high profilers—Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Rosa DeLauro, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, Dick Blumenthal, Mazie Hirono, Raphael Warlock, e.g.—and meme-demonize them as goat-headed baphomets? It’s a target-rich environment.
We are mandated to pray for our enemies. Shouldn’t we first identify the nature of the enemy, and then focus our prayers on the underlying problem? Those who have eyes, let them see.
If you’ve ever commented on Offit’s Substack, “Beyond the Noise,” you will have found out how vicious a number of his followers are. Some will impersonate you and post vile comments as if you made them.
Perhaps. I never knew who was responsible for the impersonation. It occurred to me that maybe it was Offit himself because he’s very prone to losing his temper with others who disagree with him. He always argues using the logically fallacy of the Appeal to Authority.
"a video of a Paul Offit interview where the interviewer asks Paul if he was going to take the upcoming Covid booster. To my shock, Paul Offit said on camera that he was NOT going to take the booster himself because he considered himself to be in pretty good shape."
So much for 'taking one for the team, the greater good'.
So much for thinking how important it was to 'save grandma'.
Nope, Not Paul, he's just (suddenly??) thinking of himself.
Didn’t he also say in an interview quite a while ago that I watched that he advised his son (who was in college at the time if memory serves)not to get any boosters, or am I mixing him up with another vax proponent? Buh bye to yet another person on one of these committees who has major conflicts of interest. Good riddance! Continue the house cleaning please!
I think he heard you, he has to be extremely careful. Do not be too concerned with what he wrote in the WAPO rag. Continue to provide data to him, he and HHS Dir Kennedy are doing all the right things to deal with the human tragedy created by the pLandemic and the poisonous shot. But where the previous faux, unelected, and criminal administration of biden did everything wrong, intentionally, this team has to do due diligence and everything right, intentionally. They are getting there...
Thank you for being in the fight, stay in the fight!!
I suspect most of the hard core pushers didn’t take them. I wonder how many of the top brass at Pfizer and Moderna took them. I think most of Congress and Biden who bragged about getting them on camera got saline shots.
This is one of the most important passages to pass on to our children and our adult kids to meditate on and visualize what it looks like so that it’s part of their armor of God and protects them from “most” foolish mistakes by being at the forefront of their minds. “And in whatever he does he prospers, The wicked are not so” but only if he meditates on God’s law day and night. And it’s not simply the “wicked” it’s also those who “walk in the counsel of the wicked”. Many people like that forget it’s wicked by association.
My MIL taught this to my children as a prayer, it’s really touching when I hear them say it. I would never have thought to, but it’s true, there’s so much wisdom in it.

Yes...I know why the unsaved turn to drugs, alcohol, sex and other 'stimulants' in order to 'keep going'....how sad....but we were all as 'they are' before following the Holy Spirit's unction in our hearts and minds.
BTW...Janice...I see you changed your profile pic--very nice!
Very Good Sir. I left main stream so called Christianity several years ago because?? They abandoned The Law and Prophets. Doing that opened our country to a time of lawlessness and no accountability. Simply said, Our country suffers from no accountability and President is trying to change that. As a country we should be desperate for that to happen.
Regarding Republican Contact 2.0! Number one on the list MUST be the fixing of our broken election system. No mail in ballots, voter ID, Single voting day, counts end by midnight, no electronic voting machines, paper ballots. Number two should be a complete overhaul of the corrupt judiciary.
As long as we are expressing our wish lists, how about all the land communist China has bought all over the US? Take it back with eminent domain. I don't care if we pay them for it, but we need it back for security.
Are you referring to schemes like BlackRock and others use where they build a housing development, sell a few houses to themselves at jacked up prices, then when people come to buy, the comps are artificially inflated which drives up the price, and so on…
In addition, they also build housing developments where no housing is for sale only for rent and use the same tactics to drive up the rents in the area. I suspect there’s one of these somewhat near my area. Drove by the other day. Very suspicious.
It's hard to believe that is actually happening in Texas! Anyone who has doubts about what the Muslims are up to should do a deep dive into what has already happened in Europe, particularly in France, Germany, England. It's really bad and getting worse.
Is market value fair if they’re the ones who have driven up the comps? Interesting question…
On the other hand if there’s no funny business going on, then market value seems fair. I do not agree with confiscation of property unless something untoward was going on, etc.
Which must get done before the 2026 or they will steal the House and Senate. Wholesale mail in ballot fraud makes it an easy do for them due to not having verifiable end to end chain of custody and legitimate identity - a signature, by itself and after the fact is NOT identity.
Hey, I’ve been voting by mail more than a 30 years. 20 of that when I lived in Chile as an ex Pat. Being registered through your local registrar with proof of your citizenship is what is required and I like voting by Mail. Of course you gotta make sure the bureaucrats that handle your information are not crooks. Karma will look after them.
Voting by mail, as in absentee voting, is very different than mail in ballots. People have always voted absentee, whether it’s kids at college, expats, or military members. This is legit and should stay, esp because you have to prove who you are to make it happen and each person requests their ballot.
Mail in balloting, like they do in Colorado, is a disaster. They just send ballots to everyone on the voter rolls, to whatever address was listed, no confirmation if they actually still live there, and then that ballot is legit if someone wants to fill it out and turn it in. Waaay to easy to cheat.
Washington State has had all mail in ballots for nigh on 20 years now. There is a reason we have a Dem governor, Legislature, and State Supreme Court - despite having mostly red counties.
I’ve been voting by mail for about 20 years and do not like it. There is so much proven fraud with it, and it’s why my state is the way it is because we can’t kick anybody out. Have you seen the dead but somehow alive senator Wyden? He seems to always win yet does nothing for our state, but look half dead.
How about no patents, or royalties payable to government employees. If US pays your salary, then US owns your invention. This is also a problem polluting university research.
Fixing the election system was my first thought too! And rather than the Democrat ideas which basically amount to them trying to figure out ways to keep their party in power forever (eliminating the electoral college, Allowing illegals to be counted for representation or even allowed to vote), the R 2.0 version needs to be about making the process super clean and as close as possible to actually representing what Americans want for their country. It’ll never be perfect, but we can get a whole lot closer than we are now.
If I might suggest another low-hanging 80/20 bit of fruit, perhaps DJT can go after property taxes. They artificially inflate the cost of home ownership, and they are calculated based on the supposed market value of the property. Pay attention: they are taxing unrealized gains. The Supreme Court has never weighed in specifically on the legality of taxing unrealized gains, but we all face it (renters too) while greedy local governments continue to rake in the money and make home ownership impossible for many.
Its way worse than that John, you can never own your property due to the government's RICO scheme to unconstitutionally tax your private property. Maybe someday Americans will wake up and realize they have been scammed into believing the Government has the right to tax where you live and do no business.
It's actually even worse. The federal government via USC Title 26 - their own "IRS Code" - has no right to tax earnings of an individual who works in the private sector, or who benefits from investment earnings as long as the money and business is in the private sector. If someone enjoys the privilege of working for the federal government (civilian, armed services, elected or otherwise employed by the federal government) or derives earnings from government contracts (including such as T-bills or pharma development contracts or defense contracts or Elon Musk-like contracts) then those monies are subject to federal income tax. Many but not all states tax income only if the individual pays federal income tax. Paying federal income tax truly is voluntary. But you have to know the truth and realize the nuances of language that trap most of the population. The truth is a deep, deep rabbit hole. Way too much to go into here. The People have been scammed since the Jekyll Island scheme was implemented. I'm hopeful that in my lifetime the truth will out.
I just heard today that Florida voters will get to vote on the property tax issue. I believe it would work thusly- Florida residents with homesteaded property (their one and only primary residence -hint to those mortgage fraud people) would not have to pay property taxes.
We have quite a few "phony" residents who are homesteading here in Florida and wherever they really call home. That would be punished.
So, it's a good deal for those of us who are true Floridians or those who have actually moved here.
THAT is why it will be affordable for the state.
Raising sales tax hurts those who are not homeowners i.e. renters. "Visitors/tourists" get hit all overe the place with extra taxes already while they are here. I'd look for those fees to increase. Note to whiners from away....if you don't want to pay, you don't have to come. Florida is no longer as dependent on Tourists as it was. Bumper sticker seen in Miami "if it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?" note to critics of my comment...I don't care.
I live in Florida, year round, and look forward to not paying property taxes 🙏. BUT, having just “vacationed” in the Keys, was very disheartened at the rising fees and taxes being charged by the hotel…just under $100 a day! I know the state needs to make money somehow if no property tax does go thru, but Floridians are “tourists” in their own state too, and holy cow the fees are a killer! And I agree with the bumper sticker!
I wouldn't live in a place where they had an HOA. They wouldn't want me, either. Yesterday we tried out my new Byrna launcher in the backyard. It's not my first. My hubz got one of his own because I refused to share. We set up targets and plunk away. Pellet guns are ok. Not "real guns." we have SOME standards. A new neighbor suggested we need an HOA. I said "I have feathers." Another neighbor said they had "tar." we know where there is a rail. That neighbor knew we were not actually kidding. End of HOA talk.
Don't forget to put an "Oiler" cartridge through it after you shoot it the first time. You should be able to get about 4 magazines through on a cartridge.
Then, put in the oiler and shoot a few more. I didn't know to do that for my first Byrna.
We can shoot into a device in our backyard! We collect the fired kinetic balls. Boy, do they bounce around! Reusable!
These devices are wonderful and fill such a void between doing nothing and shooting/killing. Congratulations
It’s nearly impossible to find a place where I live that is not under HOA. Even the older neighborhoods have put them into place. Homes that are not HOA are rare as hens teeth here. I guess we can put that blame on people who think their quiet neighborhood is the appropriate place for “Byrna launchers,” whatever that is, or keeping rusted out cars up on blocks in the front yard.
Most people never think beyond the fact that we have just always had to pay property taxes and that you don't really own your proerty if the government can levy a tax on it and then confiscate it from you for not paying said tax. I talk about how unjust property taxes are to anyone who will listen and have yet to have anyone disagree with me.
Sadly, that will mot likely be a States' rights issue, and - at least in my state - the elected folks and the judges all benefit from the status quo :( HOWEVER, I still believe in possibilities!
I hope that it is voted in..I wonder if no property tax for seniors would be an easier vote? The doomsday people are screaming about schools and roads and ither services vanishing.
‼️Anyway, in other good Florida news: NO more mandated vaccines for children to attend school here!
People can work with their doctors and make decisions. This just gets the government out of it. A fine idea.
As to the tax situation for seniors. That was the reason for the homestead exemption in the first place. I remember when it came in. People who had lived in their homes "forever!" could no longer afford the taxes. This way, they can (for the most part). There are already provisions for seniors with lower income. I forget the threshhold. They get an extra exeption.
So, let's go for everyone homesteaded to not have to pay those taxes. Am hoping that they don't put a threshold on that. NO property taxes for homesteaded property. Keep it simple!
Just saw a headline that the West Coast has just doubled down with their "West Coast Vaccine Alliance" - great, just great. I need to go research just what that means, exactly.
West Coast as in Washington, Oregon, and California. Our governors have formed a most un-holy alliance to outdo each other in ruining the lives of the businesses and citizens who live here.
I hope so... meanwhile, the voter rolls are not quite cleaned up, and they still use the machines, right? I HOPE it does not turn into a farce of an "election"!
The machines are not inherently bad. Letting people vote who are not eligible and/or then altering the machines is bad! There probably isn't a big movement to fiddle with that issue. Like you, I hope so.
It has also been used to drive people out of their homes as an area becomes more desirable. The only way to stop this class warfare is for primary homes to not be taxed. I have no issue with taxing 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. homes.
Same with the property tax (vehicles) in VA. They claim my husband's truck is $10k (😡🤬😡) more than Kelly Blue Book and my county won't let you fight it unless you can prove high mileage or great body damage. It's a crock of crap! They also over inflated my car. It's ridiculous!
Problem (at least in our state) is that property taxes funds represent about ~65% of public school's funding. I am all for putting that bloated bureaucracy on a diet but you can't cut 65% of the budget and not replace a sizeable chunk of that. There is a small but vocal 'abolish property taxes' group in our state but have yet to see any viable solutions for how to replace that revenue. There are rural counties in our state that are highly dependent on PT funds and elimination without a replacement would bankrupt them. Every state is very different in terms of revenue sources - FL taxes the crap out of tourists, states with mining or oil can raise revenues that way. Some states have a sizable 'other' category of tax revenues. But bottom line the pie has to shrink if we are going to cut a big slice out of the revenues.
I disagree. I think income tax should be eliminated because it discourages work, and sales tax should be eliminated because it discourages commerce.
I'd even say that property tax on the _house_ should be eliminated because you want people doing productive things like building and repairing houses.
The sole tax should be on land values. No one created the land, so taxing land does not discourage any kind of productive work. It's also pretty hard to hide land.
This idea of a single tax on land is called Georgism:
As a former Dem who had to re-register as one when I worked on the RFK Jr. presidential campaign here on the left coast (since he was originally running as a Democrat), I can tell you why they'll have a hard time re-capturing voters in 2026: because they went full-on crazy-pants as their main agenda over the last decade. And they still seem too slow in dialing that back (check out how many boys are still winning girls track races in Oregon, Washington state, and California). The latest US voter registration release shows that the Republicans recently gained 2 million voters, while Democrats lost 2 million. Gonna take a lot more than a Hakeem Jeffries speech.
We were promised deep investigations into congress-critters that became multimillionaires on modest salaries... vile swine like Illness Omar and her VERY greasy hubby... AOC... many more... so far, nothing.
Even a congressional hearing, bring in the millionaires and asking them under oath how they did it... would be enlightening...
And I also say “sheet” instead of “shit”. I don’t give a sheet! Or - I could give two sheets about that. What a pile of sheet!
I remember when I was younger being chastised by a deeply legalistic neighbor that saying “oh my gosh” was a sin because God knew I meant oh my God and it’s still taking his name in vain. I disagreed. I felt God saw and recognized that I was refusing to use his name in vain in that figure of speech and hose a different recognized word to express the same frustration or amazement. It will forever be an argument in the church 😆 like so many other things.
"Taking God's name in vain" is claiming to be a Christian and then not giving one whit about His commandments.
It is bringing the Way of Truth into disrepute.
If one says they are a Christian, and then does everything to live by those precepts, this is different from one who claims "christianity" and then lives a depraved life.
Only one of the two is "taking God's name" in vain.
And it's not the one who turns to God for guidance in their daily lives . . .
Technically, Juju, ‘God’ is not God‘s name (like ‘father’ it’s a title), so saying that God should damn something is, technically, not taking his name in vain
Exactly. One could ask the person - What is His Name?", and see if they know. The Pharisees refused to use the Father's Name for that same legalistic reasoning. So they substituted the word Adonai when they read the Torah aloud. That is one reason they hated the Messiah, He used His Father's Name.
I couldn't believe all of the comments I saw on social media about the "bruise" on Trump's hand. When I get bloodwork done twice a year, they often take it from my hand and the purple bruises last at least a week! This has been the story of my life for as long as I can remember, and I'm 75 and still alive and kicking. Didn't know that people viewed my bruises over the years as signs of impending death.
RFK Jr. should declare TDS as a public health emergency. Let’s get TDS sufferers the help they need. Living in an alternative universe will take years off of life expectancy (perhaps that’s not a bad thing).
I’ve done probably thousands of IVs in my time as a paramedic and many times I notice IV techs blame the patient for “bad veins” but it’s usually the embarrassment of the person doing the IV who lacks the skill. I think all IV techs need to start their first 1,000 IVs in the back of a rollicking ambulance with a patient thrashing around. They’d learn the skill quickly.
This isn’t a brag, but more a statement of fact that I rarely missed IVs or blew the vein as a paramedic. They should not be missing that many veins sorry to say!
Off the subject, but RFKjr put out a statement in the WSJ, yesterday, about the CDC reorganization.
Reading the most-liked comments surprised me. It was a massive, one-sided, personal, attack against Kennedy and everything he stands for.
I sit and wonder at the mechanics behind it. How many of the comments where by real people? How was this response funded? Who organized and funded it? What was big Pharma’s role?
Ever since Matt Taibbi’s work on the X-files, I’ve been wary of the many forms of censorship and MDM, but it is scary to see it in action. Too much of what appears to be reality seems to be driven by big money and big tech.
Or 1099 reports. They may be treated as contract workers. The IRS gets both. It would be interesting to see how this work is categorized. Unless it's straight cash.
I agree and I guess I can't blame them. Also, I think a lot of seniors are uninformed because they aren't necessarily tech users so are limited to watching the propaganda on CNN or MSNBC vs the many alternatives info sources out there. I am 70, myself, but I have used computers & the Internet for a very, very long time.
I've also noticed those type of comments in articles about President Trump and every single court ruling against his trying to do anything to help this country. Strange almost coordinated or fake??
"In 2006 Pinker provided to Alan Dershowitz, a personal friend of Pinker's who was Jeffrey Epstein's defense attorney, Pinker's own interpretation of the wording of a federal law pertaining to the enticement of minors into illegal sex acts via the internet. Dershowitz included Pinker's opinion in a letter to the court during proceedings that resulted in a plea deal in which all federal sex trafficking charges against Epstein were dropped. In 2019, Pinker stated that he was unaware of the nature of the charges against Epstein, and that he engaged in an unpaid favor for his Harvard colleague Dershowitz, as he had regularly done. He stated in an interview with BuzzFeed News that he regrets writing the letter. Pinker says he never received money from Epstein and met with him three times over more than a dozen years,and said he could never stand Epstein and tried to keep his distance.
Pinker states in his introduction that his ideas are "deeply influenced" by Chomsky; he also lists scientists whom Chomsky influenced to "open up whole new areas of language study, from child development and speech perception to neurology and genetics."
That's Wiki's state-approved narrative of Pinker, and they're sticking to it. But since Jeff brought up both names separately of course I had to share the connection.
I think a lot of response is based on the 24/7 fear and panic narrative generated in 2020. The indoctrination is pretty persistent and self perpetuating at this point. They really believe that living like pre 2020 is purposefully killing grandma.
Readership of the WSJ isn't what it used to be. During the Obama Administration, the WSJ news division went gaga over the LightBringer. Conservative readers cancelled their subscriptions and the Left took up the slack in order to "own the Right". My point - there is a significant overlap in the readership of the NYT/WaPo and the WSJ.
There are real people that, sadly, are convinced RFKjr is truly ruining science and health. I work in HC (for group of doctors), spoke to one personally last week.
On the POSITIVE side, two people I sincerely never thought would ever believe anything bad about the “savior” Covid shots surprised me recently. One (my actual bestie 😊, who sadly had 2 🥕 and yes has some heart issues, some preexisting and some definitely not), without any pushing on my side (I HAD pushed then stopped b/c there was no convincing), sent a link for the Malone film “Inside mRNA” and started telling ME of the dangers. And my neighbor (not sure if she had 1 Moderna or 2 Pfizer’s but told me herself she’d had the “vaccine”), told me “no more”, “not having anymore”. She wouldn’t reveal what convinced her and I do not know if she’s had any adverse effects. But 3-4 years ago she wouldn’t even barely listen to arguments that opposed the clot shots.
I think we're seeing the remaining framework of a Democrat party and platform. Normally it would be covered with paint, wallpaper, stucco, bricks, and so on. But now it isn't. It's as barren and flaccid as their last president. I'll bet it all comes down to the money. They used to have oodles of it, virtually unlimited, and tossed around like candy at a parade or swag bags at the Oscars. Journalists could be bought. Elected reps could grow insanely rich in a few terms. Rent-a-mobs with top-quality signs would show up in luxury coaches. Even foreigners were in on it. But if you take away the money, you take away their oxygen. Sadly, the money was all borrowed from the future, to be repaid by taxpayers.
I actually wish the remaining democrats that have at least half their sanity would ALL register as Independent. Then let the two major parties become Republican and Independent. Then we are back to all being friends again with procedural disagreements about how best to accomplish things that we all want to accomplish, respectful debates return, and respectful concessions as the fraud and corruption are removed.
Then let’s make this the historic moment in history when one of the major two parties in our country was buried, never to return, seen as an ugly stain on our country’s history. Although I wouldn’t even attend a funeral for it - I’d rather bury it out back like deeply offending refuse and never think of it again.
Exactly! Unfortunately the democrats didn’t have the needed backbone to oust their radicals like they should have to save their party’s namesake, and instead committed their party to the grave.
I agree Juju! I think America is strongest when we have two strong political parties that have America’s best interests as a goal and just differ on how to get there. The current Democrat party just wants to destroy everything that makes America a great place, they’re nihilists. They should go defunct.
Independents are not a party, they choose to vote for any party or no party. They shouldn’t be saddled with party organization and platforms. If the Democrat party members want to belong to a political party that works differently than the current one, then they need to step up and create something that suits them. Let that cage fight begin.
The Demonrat Party are the walking dead and big money knows this and they are not going to throw good money after bad. The life blood of the Party - money - has dried up. It's only a matter of time till the Party literally falls apart and disappears forever. The American political landscape is evolving into a one-party system.
No. All true but that last sentence. It does not mean a one party system. It means a different party will now overtake the Democrat position in our two party system, as it should be. And some of us will switch to that party and others will remain Republican. It becomes a republic again where we all agree on certain things and just disagree on how to get there.
I can’t wait until Jesus rules. In the meantime we cannot give that same blind faith to a group of us men though. (Mankind I mean). Not even us Christian’s given how much we all still pettily disagree on. But when Jesus is here there may be questions and petitions but there won’t be disagreements and arguments over decisions.
Nothing would ever get justice if we had to wait for a politicized liberal supreme justice to vote unanimously. 9-0 requirement would leave so many unjust rulings stand. A majority is wiser I think, but yeah they should aim for unanimous each time.
I believe one more thing has to happen for your last sentence to be true: remove power from the 4th branch of government, i.e., the ‘intelligence community’.
Am pretty certain this is in process but the nature of that bunch, I envision whack-a-mole. Also pretty sure of their ‘contributions’ to C&C comments.
PS: Isn’t it kind of disgusting that there are a minimum of 18 agencies in this ‘community?’
That was only my opinion and you could well be correct. It is going to take some time to find out. But what I see happening now is a consolidation of power. However, a two-party system is not the definition of a "republic". That ship sailed a looong time ago. The US Constitution ceased having any meaningful relevance in this country over 100 years ago - EXCEPT when it was convenient to quote that historical document. Otherwise, it is just a doily used to cover the corruption of the MIC political establishment that sold this country down the river to the globalists and their forever wars. The reality is that we are an Empire that long ago ceased being a republic. I am thankful we have an imperial POTUS in Trump rather than a woke Marxist pedo POTUS who was actively waging war upon the American people.
Phil, when the Whig party died suddenly in 1854 (in part due to their ardent support of slavery), the anti-slavery Republican Party was born from its ashes in that same year. Which resulted in maintaining a 2-party reality in US politics. If D party collapsed, something else would spring up, IMO. Something like MAGA-light, which I would welcome.
For sure, you are correct on the rhyming part. Whig party collapse preceded a climax 4th Turning Civil War, 6 years after. If D party collapses I expect another rhyming climax to our current winter season.
Rather than looking for analogies to 1854 and the war of 1861, I think a closer analogy is the Roman Empire. The Roman people cheered when Caesar crossed the Rubicon and entered Rome with his army forever ending the Roman Republic. The corrupt Roman Senate (like our Congress) fled before Caesar and escaped to Asia. The people were more than happy to be rid of their corruption.
I’m familiar w/ Howe/Strauss generational theory for England/America and see we are now 80 - 100 years (or a ‘lifetime’) away from last climax event, WW2. Before that, a lifetime back was Civil War, then go back another lifetime to find Revolutionary War, then Glorious Revolution, etc. This rhyme goes back to War of the Roses, 15th century.
We are primed for something now that likely involves bloodletting. That act and revulsion of it, then allows a society to ‘come back together again’ for a new spring.
If D party ever collapsed and another rose up in its place, it would not be led by Trump. It would [likely] be led by Ruy Teixeira-type thinking D's. I regularly read Ruy's Liberal Patriot substack which has common-sense Democrat voiced policies/approaches. Ruy thinks D's should ditch progressives and go back hard to actively supporting the working class. I think I read his stack to remind myself there are classic liberals still out there, even if I don't fully agree with them.
Neither do I. The Demoncrat Party has lost ALL legitimacy with the American people except for the pink/purple haired, gender confused people(?) who are clearly insane. That Party has no one to put forward as a candidate to the American people. They have literally committed political seppuku.
If you don’t believe they are not out there then I suggest you step away from social media and go talk to your fellow citizens. The internet and social media can seriously warp your view of friend and foe, alike. I say this as 3x Trump voter, but with friends who lean blue. We come together with shared interests in other hobbies (ours is athletics).
The Dems are wrong on every single issue, except for being opposed to the genocide in Gaza, of which we are sadly complicit. 77% of Democrats are now opposed to supporting Israel. Unfortunately, the Dem leadership is every bit as owned as the Rep leaders in this regard. So while they continue to make claims about “our Democracy!” the D leadership is not being swayed by what their electorate is telling them.
Our saving grace is now the younger generation, which is solidly America First and anti-war (on both the left and the right).
And why shouldn’t they be? They’re going to be the ones that have to fight these wars and pay for them. ☮️☮️🙏🏻❤️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes, Israel's mass-slaughter in Gaza, fully supported and funded by Trump, is an appalling betrayal of America... and involves serious war crimes, in which Trump and America are now fully complicit/GUILTY.
Supporting, arming and funding Ukraine is also shameful.
Yes, AIPAC/Mossad is VERY powerful and a deep investigation of their corruption and extortion of our politicians is so badly needed... but will never happen...
I heard numbers of 300 million of Republicans election money in the bag and the Dems only 13. I might be wrong but it was a huge difference I doubt the Dems can even fantasize about getting.
They spent a lot of dough on Kamala and made her very rich. Bet they wish they had some of that $$$ back. What a waste of money on a clueless, incompetent woman. Was that too harsh?
I’m not a bit worried about the midterms. Seeming chaos now…some “short-term” pain that will likely result in long-term gain. I think most Americans will be pretty happy by this time next year :). I even have hope for my blue Colorado. We went 43% for Trump in 2024. If we can clean up voter roles and eradicate mail-in voting…who knows? Maybe we’re not as blue as we think we are???
Hopefully NY State will get out of the Blue fix we find ourselves in. We are pulling for Ellsie Stefanik to bring common sense back to NY. Hochul has lost her mind!!
Agreed. Hochul is so much worse than I imagined. I was happy to get rid of Cuomo, but we really went from the frying pan into the fire with "crazy-eyes"!
I'm so convinced plus I don't like how some. Not all but enough GOP members don't support the presidents actions when he needs it. Like getting judges or other DOJ members approved.
As usual Jeff, your Contract 2.0 list is a good start. To that I would add (1) prohibit insider trading by Congress, (2) reinstatement of mental institutions with large funding increases, (3) massive push & funding on trade schools and access especially for the poor caught in endless doom loops and, for fun, how about (4) term limits....
That’s what Mexico does folks ..if you are within 100 miles of any body of water of ocean then you cannot hold your own title .. the gov holds it in the form of almost a lease called a Fido Comiso. They are yearly dues for the custodial maintenance of your lease typical from $600-$1200 on up depending on the value of the property. Not much but just reminders of who owns what.
Good morning, C&C, from the misty, cloudy, overcast Pacific Northwest! We went from mid-80s and muggy, to cool, misty and I-can't-believe-it-is-fall-already!
And they are still stealing elections here too, and will in 2026. Katie Hobbs, Kris Mayes and Adrian Fontes, all criminals will ensure it is so. The President must impose changes on federal elections to ensure they cannot steal them with wholesale mail in ballot fraud. It's how they were s_Elected.
Hobbs campaigned like Biden. She avoided media by hiding. Lake was all over the state campaigning and meeting people. I attended a couple of her events and people were showing up. You can't convince me that she lost.
I won't rub it in, but here in the Finger Lakes region we've been enjoying clear, warm days (mid 70s) and crisp nights (50s) perfect for sleeping with the windows open and blankets on. It's been a pure delight!
South Carolina should still be in sweaty summer, but we're on our second week of low, dry 80's. It's been pure bliss, but we sure need rain. Makes me a little nervous about what fall will bring.
We have family in AZ - we kid each other about the weather a fair bit. My SIL uses the old "but it is a dry heat" as her tried and true rebuttal to "it is way too hot". I modified it a couple of years ago when she asked how the weather was in the PNW. I told her, "It is 43 degrees today, but at least it is a damp cold!" 😂
It's supposed to cool off here starting this weekend, then 70s and rain next week. I'm crossing the Cascades in a few weeks for a concert in Seattle. I think it's inside. Enjoy your cool stuff!
And his team chose their words extra carefully - so as not to be caught in a lie when the files and charges roll out. I don’t claim to understand it all, and was miffed at Trump saying the whole Epstein thing was a hoax or words to that effect. This is obviously not over. After Trump got Democraps to beg for the Epstein files (wow 😂) it seems they are rolling out now. TAW…again
I can't wait for the curtain to be pulled back exposing the truth. Trump knows that anything he objects to will put Dems into overtime to do the opposite. Kind of like parenting teenagers.
Somewhere online there is a video of a Paul Offit interview where the interviewer asks Paul if he was going to take the upcoming Covid booster. To my shock, Paul Offit said on camera that he was NOT going to take the booster himself because he considered himself to be in pretty good shape. Think about that, folks. Paul Offit, the old geezer, didn't think that he needed a Covid booster. But he was very happy to approve it for your 6-month-old child! What a jerk!
Found it: https://rumble.com/v3ktrog-fda-advisor-dr.-paul-offit-says-myocarditis-could-last-longer-than-previous.html?start=50
Be sure to follow my work on the WHITE FIBROUS CLOTS at my assistant Ms. Laura Kasner's FREE Substack called "Clotastrophe" at: LauraKasner.Substack.com
Tom,
You are too kind to label this criminal a jerk, unless you append that with dead... which is surely what he needs to be for the damage he personally inflicted on humanity.
I would like him to receive 10,000 shots today, please.
Exactly! They’re all as safe as air and clean water and he should ‘trust the science!’
I don't think the air and water are safe according to Tom Lehrer (RIP)!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMdmWysEp5w
Love Tom Lehrer!
My dad has the 'Songs by Tom Lehrer' and I have another two. There are 1 or 2 songs I don't care for but most are so good and still pertinent today.
Yes!!! And please have it on video with a follow up in 6-12 months! ( if he lives that long!)
in six months he'll need the boosters! a thousand of them.
Make sure it is from the bat h that produced the most disabilities & deaths.
My thoughts exactly. Let's see it, Paul
Yes, he needs to catch up and get all the shots a new baby gets. I’m sure he was vaccinated long ago with far fewer.
Every hour
Yep! Get the cameras rolling on live feed, tie him down, and inject away.
That should be a requirement for ALL the vaccine pedalers.
100%.
Oh yes please with sugar on top!
Just all the covid shots he missed so far should do the job.
This quote somehow has become debatable, though the idea is real:
"Once the herd accepts the mandatory vaccines, it's game over. They will accept anything -forcable blood or organ donation- "for the greater good". We can genetically modify children---and sterilize them--- "for the greater good". Control sheep minds and you control the herd. Vaccine makers stand to make billions. And many of you in this room are investors. It's a big win-win. We thin out the herd and the herd pays us for extermination services."
Henry Kissinger
And great news today for Florida re: mandates.
DeSantis to make Florida first state to end all vaccine mandates for schools.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/desantis-florida-first-state-end-153723352.html
All states should follow Florida
As Florida goes, so must the nation. Some sadly say this about CA, but that’s in opposite world where it really needs to be as CA goes, go the opposite way!
Oh that’s fantastic!!
Luv my Guv!
DeSantis for POTUS!
No offense implied, but it’s too bad you picked Yahoo News for the story instead of a newsgroup that didn’t rely on Pharma dollars. Even the comments were off the charts ridiculous.
On the positive, I agree with Florida’s decision. Thanks for letting us know.
Yahoo News sucks over all. Can be counted on to lean wwayyyyy leffft.
I agree. And to this day they all continue to stand and shake their fists screaming, the vaccines are safe and effective and saved millions.
Hoping Trump's post about making the manufacturers fess up on the crime that it didn't save anyone and is killing and injuring MILLIONS, perhaps BILLIONS will be the beginning to finally ending this crime against all of us?
A retired Navy Captain, very smart woman, still thinks the jab is safe and effective. We go around and round about it. She is one of my favorite mentors from my time in service and it blows my mind. She really believes it.
May, what I have come to believe from living in the capitol of my very blue state, and knowing MANY people who will defend their decisions to the death, can not, will not be open to the suggestion that they may have been lied to. They consider themselves highly intelligent and read the NY Times and listen to NPR, rush to the CDC website for information, trust their MD, etc. Not one MD at our local hospital has suggested to 7 people I know whose symptoms (IMO) reflect mini strokes was told this could be from the shot! All ages! Slurred speech, loss of balance, forgetting loved one's names....the docs perform all the "tests", give them a clean bill of health and send them home with prescriptions for statins and other meds that absolutely don't coincide with their symptoms!
Spiritual warfare is the only answer that I can reason. So many people can’t see the evil around them and often support it. Nothing says it more than abortion. A mother kills her own child and defends it. It breaks my heart.
I have a very hard time understanding where people like that are coming from. I have a couple in my circle and I just don’t get it.
She is in D E N I A L! And I'm not talking about the river!
That's pretty sad and pathetic.
Belief.... a cult
And being completely honest, which she wont be, being a loathsome Navy Captain (tee hee), she can't say she is also afraid she is going to die earlier than she would have had she not got the shot!
Concerned that Trumps concern is a bait and switch to a new and worse technology. Pfizer has moved on to the new thing.
I’m sorry that you are having such a hard time coming to the realization Trump is against them and for us. He always has been and always will be.
Dan, I'm with you because I believe that Trump has been spared by GOD for His purposes. GOD chooses imperfect people to do His Will. I pray daily that President Trump does GOD's Will on behalf of the American people.
BEST NEWS FOR ALL MY FELLOW FLORIDIANS:

Yes, it's a real agenda, but I doubt that Kissinger said it. And I have no respect for him at all. He lived too long
Reporter in "Before Its News" Kissinger quote from a speech to the WHO Council on Eugenics,February 25th 2009:
Wow, he was a worse person than I thought.
I am sure he said it. No respect for him is the least of the incitement I would aim at him. He was a thoroughly horrible individual
I wasn’t happy to hear that President Trump got a Covid shot during his annual physical…
They said it was in relation to his upcoming Middle East trip…🤔🤔🤔
I doubt it.
Has to keep up the business model for future jabs.
Pretty sure that quote from Kissinger is fake.
I was about to comment the same thing, I can think of plenty of other words I’d use in place of the relatively mild “jerk.” 😡🤬
Tsk Tsk. Here in southwest PA we do not use such words. The proper term is JAGOFF.
We in Dublin Ireland would say GOBSHITE.
Here we call it Prick.
I’m close enough to Pittsburgh to be familiar with that delightful word. I don’t think anyone else in the world has it in their vocabulary!
I’ve heard it before and I’m not from western Pennsylvania.
Somehow the term made it all the way to the West Coast!
Mrs. "the Knife"
we use it in the Boston area as well. ( a lot to refer to guys like Offit) I agree with the notion of giving him 10,000 of them. Preferably within a day or two...
Still too pleasant a characterization of this despicable creature!
Same.
Don’t worry, God is going to hold him accountable and I bet there will be hell to pay.
There is zero chance Offit took the original series of “vaxxines” either. He, of all people, would know better than to take one.
Along with Dr. MALONE who said he took them.
He did actually and paid dearly for it as he ended up a lot of side effects. He was one of the inventors of the mRNA platform but I don’t think he knew the other goodies that they put in the bioweapon as he was gone by the time this vax was put together and part of the great pandemic farce.
A lot of controlled opposition out there. He said that he took the shot but denied entry into a conference in Italy for not doing so. He is the smartest in the room and would not take an unknown Injection. He knows where the bodies are buried in this bioweapon.
Said he took the moderna and then took the booster a couple of weeks later. The moderna booster was months later, not weeks later.
Very Wary. Martyrs make good heroes.
"If they want heroes, we give them heroes."
Albert Pike
Scottish Freemason
Yep... Malone is a VERY questionable hero... just ask Karen Kingston.
He was getting interviewed a few nights ago and said he got tinnitus, very high BP, myocarditis and he was very regretful for taking it.
Anyone who says, “children could handle 10,000 vaccines at once” should be tied to a chair and given 10,000 vaccines at once.
I am waiting for SOMEONE to be truthful about the correlation between childhood vaccines and autism/learning disabilities.
Watch the hearing sept 4th with RFK
What you said, L
Meanwhile, many of my siblings have gotten ALL the boosters… 😣
I’d like a major study on correlation or causation with Covid jabs and the onset of TDS.
About 80%+.
Janet, I would say entrenchment and/or onset of TDS.
🤔🤣🎯
That is a very sad thing. One side of our family refuses all vaccines; the other side goes along with what "the doc" says. Unbelievable...
Same here. Goes to show intelligence really is inherited.
The same situation is true of my family. I end up ill from the stress it’s causing.
😞😞😞
😢
☹️☹️
Every 6 months?? 😮
😳😳😳
"What a jerk!"
What a luciferian. What a "not-see." What a trans-humanist worshipper of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Paul Offit believes that he knows better than you, what you should do with respect to your genetics. He believes that he is aware of where God has "made mistakes."
Speaking of luciferians, would it be appropriate to unmask some DC high profilers—Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Rosa DeLauro, Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff, Dick Blumenthal, Mazie Hirono, Raphael Warlock, e.g.—and meme-demonize them as goat-headed baphomets? It’s a target-rich environment.
We are mandated to pray for our enemies. Shouldn’t we first identify the nature of the enemy, and then focus our prayers on the underlying problem? Those who have eyes, let them see.
Makes the large red X over his face the best pic I have seen in years!! Bye Bye Offit the Awful.
Just like Fauci and all the rest that have pushing these toxic vaccines for decades, Offit belongs in jail.
Jail is not enough punishment for the worst crimes against humanity ever.
If you’ve ever commented on Offit’s Substack, “Beyond the Noise,” you will have found out how vicious a number of his followers are. Some will impersonate you and post vile comments as if you made them.
That does not surprise me, those people are evil to the core of their being.
Controlled by a foreign country?
Perhaps. I never knew who was responsible for the impersonation. It occurred to me that maybe it was Offit himself because he’s very prone to losing his temper with others who disagree with him. He always argues using the logically fallacy of the Appeal to Authority.
And his specialty is children.
Perfect for eugenics.
The Republic of Pfizer.
"a video of a Paul Offit interview where the interviewer asks Paul if he was going to take the upcoming Covid booster. To my shock, Paul Offit said on camera that he was NOT going to take the booster himself because he considered himself to be in pretty good shape."
So much for 'taking one for the team, the greater good'.
So much for thinking how important it was to 'save grandma'.
Nope, Not Paul, he's just (suddenly??) thinking of himself.
Thanks for all the great leadership (not) Paul.
Offit-for-profit has been a thorn in the side of us “anti-vaxxers” for decades. Good riddance.
Didn’t he also say in an interview quite a while ago that I watched that he advised his son (who was in college at the time if memory serves)not to get any boosters, or am I mixing him up with another vax proponent? Buh bye to yet another person on one of these committees who has major conflicts of interest. Good riddance! Continue the house cleaning please!
Hi Tom,
I read your guest post on Kasner's substack at: https://laurakasner.substack.com/p/my-phone-call-with-nih-director-dr
I think he heard you, he has to be extremely careful. Do not be too concerned with what he wrote in the WAPO rag. Continue to provide data to him, he and HHS Dir Kennedy are doing all the right things to deal with the human tragedy created by the pLandemic and the poisonous shot. But where the previous faux, unelected, and criminal administration of biden did everything wrong, intentionally, this team has to do due diligence and everything right, intentionally. They are getting there...
Thank you for being in the fight, stay in the fight!!
I suspect most of the hard core pushers didn’t take them. I wonder how many of the top brass at Pfizer and Moderna took them. I think most of Congress and Biden who bragged about getting them on camera got saline shots.
Jab is good for Thee but not for Me🤨
✝️✝️✝️
How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.
The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.
— Psalm 1:1-6 NAS95
✝️✝️✝️
This is one of the most important passages to pass on to our children and our adult kids to meditate on and visualize what it looks like so that it’s part of their armor of God and protects them from “most” foolish mistakes by being at the forefront of their minds. “And in whatever he does he prospers, The wicked are not so” but only if he meditates on God’s law day and night. And it’s not simply the “wicked” it’s also those who “walk in the counsel of the wicked”. Many people like that forget it’s wicked by association.
My MIL taught this to my children as a prayer, it’s really touching when I hear them say it. I would never have thought to, but it’s true, there’s so much wisdom in it.
Memorize it. And Ps 2. And Ps 3 -... as much as you can! You'll never be sorry.
And Psalm 119: "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."
Never sure until you are old and what new you try to remember you can't but the old memories stick!
I hate not having an edit after post option?
Should be 3 little dots to click on for the edit option. If you’re on the web, they’re to the right of your name, if on the app, they are at the end of your comment.
Edit is not one of those options on mine. Idk why. I'm old.
Weird. Surely it’s a glitch and not because you’re old. ☺️
Are you on a phone? I can't edit comments when I post from my phone within the substack app, but when I post from the computer, I can edit all day!
There was one on the browser version until seemingly today. Glitch?
Not on mine either.
There used to be an edit on the browser version but it has disappeared right around now. . Stupid decision by substack. Or
I tried the edit dots on my phone and my laptop and both work. The dots are to the right of your name in both cases.
The dots in mine are below the remark and edit is not an option
I know. And I've used them but I only have a "delete comment", "share link", or "hide".
There IS that "edit after post" option, R. J. - Perhaps you need a vision check - LOL! Seriously though, Janice just pointed it out to you too!
It isn’t on mine either
I'm on a laptop - no "smart"phone for this chickie--NEVER!
Are you using a droid?
Yes Janice, the sinners will not prevail.

Yes, He is the only thing keeping me sane!
Yes...I know why the unsaved turn to drugs, alcohol, sex and other 'stimulants' in order to 'keep going'....how sad....but we were all as 'they are' before following the Holy Spirit's unction in our hearts and minds.
BTW...Janice...I see you changed your profile pic--very nice!
Aw, thank you! Once every five years or so, I happen to take a halfway decent one. 🙈
LOL--why the "monkey" emoji, Janice--you were 'monkeying around' with your photo perhaps--LOL! I think you look glowing, sister in Christ!
Hiding because I don’t like pictures of myself. Thank you for your kind words!
Praise God, in Him we are more than conquerors.
Amen

Psalm 1 is so familiar but seemed to be the word for the day. Thank you, Lord!
Blessed assurance indeed, friend! His Word is YEA AND AMEN!
AMEN!
Very Good Sir. I left main stream so called Christianity several years ago because?? They abandoned The Law and Prophets. Doing that opened our country to a time of lawlessness and no accountability. Simply said, Our country suffers from no accountability and President is trying to change that. As a country we should be desperate for that to happen.

Regarding Republican Contact 2.0! Number one on the list MUST be the fixing of our broken election system. No mail in ballots, voter ID, Single voting day, counts end by midnight, no electronic voting machines, paper ballots. Number two should be a complete overhaul of the corrupt judiciary.
As long as we are expressing our wish lists, how about all the land communist China has bought all over the US? Take it back with eminent domain. I don't care if we pay them for it, but we need it back for security.
and all the farmland Bill Gates has. He is similar to China in my book.
I'm not sure about that one. At least China doesn't hide the fact they want Americans dead. Gates on the other hand...
“If we do a really good job with new vaccines,health care and reproductive health services, we can lower that[world population]by 10-15%”‼️
Bill Gates is an EVIL madman.
In a 2010 TED Talk, Bill Gates once referenced vaccines as a way to reduce unsustainable population growth.
Watch the full episode here: https://bit.ly/3iGFXWs
Has said about depopulation. He is as bad.
No question, Gary.
Stop Wall Street from buying houses too.
Actually, what’s stopping Trump from putting an end to this right now?
Are you referring to schemes like BlackRock and others use where they build a housing development, sell a few houses to themselves at jacked up prices, then when people come to buy, the comps are artificially inflated which drives up the price, and so on…
In addition, they also build housing developments where no housing is for sale only for rent and use the same tactics to drive up the rents in the area. I suspect there’s one of these somewhat near my area. Drove by the other day. Very suspicious.
What about what the Muslims are doing with land grabs and restricted communities ??? That’s a really big one. Like in Texas for one.
It's hard to believe that is actually happening in Texas! Anyone who has doubts about what the Muslims are up to should do a deep dive into what has already happened in Europe, particularly in France, Germany, England. It's really bad and getting worse.
Yes. Scary.
We need to pay them for it. Market value. That is only fair. But definitely take it back.
The market values these days are anything but fair and realistic. POS houses for $400k.
Is market value fair if they’re the ones who have driven up the comps? Interesting question…
On the other hand if there’s no funny business going on, then market value seems fair. I do not agree with confiscation of property unless something untoward was going on, etc.
Or confiscate it?
Communists perfectly understand the practice of confiscation…
Which must get done before the 2026 or they will steal the House and Senate. Wholesale mail in ballot fraud makes it an easy do for them due to not having verifiable end to end chain of custody and legitimate identity - a signature, by itself and after the fact is NOT identity.
Yes, as do the machines :(
Definitely pruning of the judiciary rules. No legislating from the bench.
Hey, I’ve been voting by mail more than a 30 years. 20 of that when I lived in Chile as an ex Pat. Being registered through your local registrar with proof of your citizenship is what is required and I like voting by Mail. Of course you gotta make sure the bureaucrats that handle your information are not crooks. Karma will look after them.
It’s that old commie trick—it’s not the vote, it’s who’s counting them.
Voting by mail, as in absentee voting, is very different than mail in ballots. People have always voted absentee, whether it’s kids at college, expats, or military members. This is legit and should stay, esp because you have to prove who you are to make it happen and each person requests their ballot.
Mail in balloting, like they do in Colorado, is a disaster. They just send ballots to everyone on the voter rolls, to whatever address was listed, no confirmation if they actually still live there, and then that ballot is legit if someone wants to fill it out and turn it in. Waaay to easy to cheat.
Washington State has had all mail in ballots for nigh on 20 years now. There is a reason we have a Dem governor, Legislature, and State Supreme Court - despite having mostly red counties.
Mrs. "the Knife"
I’ve been voting by mail for about 20 years and do not like it. There is so much proven fraud with it, and it’s why my state is the way it is because we can’t kick anybody out. Have you seen the dead but somehow alive senator Wyden? He seems to always win yet does nothing for our state, but look half dead.
He is so bad and a huge anti Trumper. I read his newsletters. Not a good guy…
He looks like death warmed over. Must be his soul leaking out…
Also, Wyden doesn't even live in Oregon, but in New York.
Maybe his primary residence should be looked at
He probably has a dummy ; } sitting in his office. He hasn't changed his form letter to reply to me in years...
Haha! That’s awesome. But not surprising!!
Voting by mail with strong restrictions could work but it is a slippery slope, very easy to abuse.
Yes. Waaay too tempting for people to abuse.
And don’t forget term limits and no eligibility for future work on K Street, or as board members for publicly traded corps
Texas has an Islamic, Sharia law takeover problem. USA must not become an Islamic nation with nuclear weapons.
How about no patents, or royalties payable to government employees. If US pays your salary, then US owns your invention. This is also a problem polluting university research.
California is all mail-in ballots, and I heard someone mention that Colorado is too. How many other states are doing that?
Oregon and I believe Washington as well. Makes the craziness in these places make sense doesn’t it?
I'd say after that term limits and single subject bills to be voted on, not this omnibus crap
Fixing the election system was my first thought too! And rather than the Democrat ideas which basically amount to them trying to figure out ways to keep their party in power forever (eliminating the electoral college, Allowing illegals to be counted for representation or even allowed to vote), the R 2.0 version needs to be about making the process super clean and as close as possible to actually representing what Americans want for their country. It’ll never be perfect, but we can get a whole lot closer than we are now.
Did you see the video of Newsom saying he is worried about how ICE will scare away voters at the polls? Ha
I recently watched a 2024 episode of Dr. Phil where he showed on a map all the farmland China owns in the USA…all near US Military Installations.

Absolutely!
And NO MORE wars for MIC profit! No more blowing up pipelines!
No more funding Israel's slaughter of innocents and land thefts.
No more dual citizens serving in congress.
Bring back Constitutional currency.
Make illegal immigration a felony, 5 years in a work farm mandatory. Same penalty for not using E-Verify.
If I might suggest another low-hanging 80/20 bit of fruit, perhaps DJT can go after property taxes. They artificially inflate the cost of home ownership, and they are calculated based on the supposed market value of the property. Pay attention: they are taxing unrealized gains. The Supreme Court has never weighed in specifically on the legality of taxing unrealized gains, but we all face it (renters too) while greedy local governments continue to rake in the money and make home ownership impossible for many.
Its way worse than that John, you can never own your property due to the government's RICO scheme to unconstitutionally tax your private property. Maybe someday Americans will wake up and realize they have been scammed into believing the Government has the right to tax where you live and do no business.
It's actually even worse. The federal government via USC Title 26 - their own "IRS Code" - has no right to tax earnings of an individual who works in the private sector, or who benefits from investment earnings as long as the money and business is in the private sector. If someone enjoys the privilege of working for the federal government (civilian, armed services, elected or otherwise employed by the federal government) or derives earnings from government contracts (including such as T-bills or pharma development contracts or defense contracts or Elon Musk-like contracts) then those monies are subject to federal income tax. Many but not all states tax income only if the individual pays federal income tax. Paying federal income tax truly is voluntary. But you have to know the truth and realize the nuances of language that trap most of the population. The truth is a deep, deep rabbit hole. Way too much to go into here. The People have been scammed since the Jekyll Island scheme was implemented. I'm hopeful that in my lifetime the truth will out.
I agree, the Jekyll Island scheme was the beginning of the end of our sovereignty.
I just heard today that Florida voters will get to vote on the property tax issue. I believe it would work thusly- Florida residents with homesteaded property (their one and only primary residence -hint to those mortgage fraud people) would not have to pay property taxes.
We have quite a few "phony" residents who are homesteading here in Florida and wherever they really call home. That would be punished.
So, it's a good deal for those of us who are true Floridians or those who have actually moved here.
THAT is why it will be affordable for the state.
Raising sales tax hurts those who are not homeowners i.e. renters. "Visitors/tourists" get hit all overe the place with extra taxes already while they are here. I'd look for those fees to increase. Note to whiners from away....if you don't want to pay, you don't have to come. Florida is no longer as dependent on Tourists as it was. Bumper sticker seen in Miami "if it is tourist season, why can't we shoot them?" note to critics of my comment...I don't care.
I live in Florida, year round, and look forward to not paying property taxes 🙏. BUT, having just “vacationed” in the Keys, was very disheartened at the rising fees and taxes being charged by the hotel…just under $100 a day! I know the state needs to make money somehow if no property tax does go thru, but Floridians are “tourists” in their own state too, and holy cow the fees are a killer! And I agree with the bumper sticker!
I believe that those fees are generated for the County. Our county does the same. "Bed Tax" they call it. Other fees, too.
The Keys...what can I say?!
"Government" needs to grasp the concept of cutting costs. It's not their money so they spend like crazy.
In my state, if they can’t repo your house for property taxes, then the HOA will take it. Both costs have tripled.
I wouldn't live in a place where they had an HOA. They wouldn't want me, either. Yesterday we tried out my new Byrna launcher in the backyard. It's not my first. My hubz got one of his own because I refused to share. We set up targets and plunk away. Pellet guns are ok. Not "real guns." we have SOME standards. A new neighbor suggested we need an HOA. I said "I have feathers." Another neighbor said they had "tar." we know where there is a rail. That neighbor knew we were not actually kidding. End of HOA talk.
Byrna rocks. Just received my delivery!
Don't forget to put an "Oiler" cartridge through it after you shoot it the first time. You should be able to get about 4 magazines through on a cartridge.
Then, put in the oiler and shoot a few more. I didn't know to do that for my first Byrna.
We can shoot into a device in our backyard! We collect the fired kinetic balls. Boy, do they bounce around! Reusable!
These devices are wonderful and fill such a void between doing nothing and shooting/killing. Congratulations
Thanks for the heads up on this C. Most obliged:}
It’s nearly impossible to find a place where I live that is not under HOA. Even the older neighborhoods have put them into place. Homes that are not HOA are rare as hens teeth here. I guess we can put that blame on people who think their quiet neighborhood is the appropriate place for “Byrna launchers,” whatever that is, or keeping rusted out cars up on blocks in the front yard.
There is a movement here in Michigan to abolish property taxes. https://www.axmitax.org/
Connie - please keep us all posted about how this goes and 🤞for Floridians! 👏🏻
Great. I hope they don’t get their petitions thrown out like the last round of Republican gubernatorial candidates!
Yes please. I told my 8yo about property taxes on homes and land that people supposedly "own." She couldn't believe it.
Most people never think beyond the fact that we have just always had to pay property taxes and that you don't really own your proerty if the government can levy a tax on it and then confiscate it from you for not paying said tax. I talk about how unjust property taxes are to anyone who will listen and have yet to have anyone disagree with me.
Sadly, that will mot likely be a States' rights issue, and - at least in my state - the elected folks and the judges all benefit from the status quo :( HOWEVER, I still believe in possibilities!
It appears that DeSantis found a way around the legislature. WE get to vote. Have to be a resident to vote. Stands a pretty good chance of winning.
I hope that it is voted in..I wonder if no property tax for seniors would be an easier vote? The doomsday people are screaming about schools and roads and ither services vanishing.
‼️Anyway, in other good Florida news: NO more mandated vaccines for children to attend school here!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-15062445/florida-end-vaccine-mandates-ron-desantis-joseph-ladapo.html
People can work with their doctors and make decisions. This just gets the government out of it. A fine idea.
As to the tax situation for seniors. That was the reason for the homestead exemption in the first place. I remember when it came in. People who had lived in their homes "forever!" could no longer afford the taxes. This way, they can (for the most part). There are already provisions for seniors with lower income. I forget the threshhold. They get an extra exeption.
So, let's go for everyone homesteaded to not have to pay those taxes. Am hoping that they don't put a threshold on that. NO property taxes for homesteaded property. Keep it simple!
Just saw a headline that the West Coast has just doubled down with their "West Coast Vaccine Alliance" - great, just great. I need to go research just what that means, exactly.
Mrs. "the Knife"
West Coast as in California? Or Florida. Sounds like something the left coast would do.
NOT Florida. Our politicians are too smart for that nonsense!
West Coast as in Washington, Oregon, and California. Our governors have formed a most un-holy alliance to outdo each other in ruining the lives of the businesses and citizens who live here.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Hmmm…need to look into that. Hadn’t heard about it. Thanks for the info.
I hadn't either. Just saw it on the crawl while watching some "news". So now there is more homework to do.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Thank you DeSantis and Ladapo! Quality politicians FOR THE PEOPLE!
Luv my Gov DeSantis!
I hope so... meanwhile, the voter rolls are not quite cleaned up, and they still use the machines, right? I HOPE it does not turn into a farce of an "election"!
The machines are not inherently bad. Letting people vote who are not eligible and/or then altering the machines is bad! There probably isn't a big movement to fiddle with that issue. Like you, I hope so.
I just saw a blurb on line that said FL Gov DeSantis wants it put on the ballot this year to abolish property taxes for primary residences.
‼️Also THIS: YAY!!
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-15062445/florida-end-vaccine-mandates-ron-desantis-joseph-ladapo.html
Interesting that the US main stream media doesn’t report it like the Brits do. Pretty bad when we have to follow them to get our good news!
And, then, when we sell, we are charged capital gains on something we’ve been paying taxes on for decades.
Oh, it's worse. The capital gains were mostly inflation, so you end up paying a tax on inflation itself.
Which we are already paying for with everything else, including our taxes.
It has also been used to drive people out of their homes as an area becomes more desirable. The only way to stop this class warfare is for primary homes to not be taxed. I have no issue with taxing 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. homes.
Same with the property tax (vehicles) in VA. They claim my husband's truck is $10k (😡🤬😡) more than Kelly Blue Book and my county won't let you fight it unless you can prove high mileage or great body damage. It's a crock of crap! They also over inflated my car. It's ridiculous!
Yesss! I would agree with this…they are insane…
Great advice. I’m going to use that next time I argue with the county over my annual prop tax review.
They buy up homes, hold them, sell to other private equity firms at inflated prices to create “comps” - all contribute to inflated prices

I just posted about this exact thing- thanks for your link!
Have you seen what the corrupt TVA is doing to people?
Problem (at least in our state) is that property taxes funds represent about ~65% of public school's funding. I am all for putting that bloated bureaucracy on a diet but you can't cut 65% of the budget and not replace a sizeable chunk of that. There is a small but vocal 'abolish property taxes' group in our state but have yet to see any viable solutions for how to replace that revenue. There are rural counties in our state that are highly dependent on PT funds and elimination without a replacement would bankrupt them. Every state is very different in terms of revenue sources - FL taxes the crap out of tourists, states with mining or oil can raise revenues that way. Some states have a sizable 'other' category of tax revenues. But bottom line the pie has to shrink if we are going to cut a big slice out of the revenues.
https://taxfoundation.org/data/all/state/state-local-tax-collections/
Schools are dramatically overfunded, especially the pensions. There are a lot of hands grabbing at our tax dollars.
I thought he mentioned getting rid of property taxes?
I disagree. I think income tax should be eliminated because it discourages work, and sales tax should be eliminated because it discourages commerce.
I'd even say that property tax on the _house_ should be eliminated because you want people doing productive things like building and repairing houses.
The sole tax should be on land values. No one created the land, so taxing land does not discourage any kind of productive work. It's also pretty hard to hide land.
This idea of a single tax on land is called Georgism:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism
I'm pretty sure that we could pay all the necessary costs of government at all levels with a land value tax and tariffs.
"President Trump is making everything bad from the Biden era come untrue."
THIS IS WHAT I VOTED FOR!!!
"Republicans have a lot to work with, such as promises to make permanent the most popular parts of Trump’s second-term accomplishments. "
And THAT is what I will vote for AGAIN!!
I'm LOVING this!!
Amen!
I'm not tired of winning!!
Obumma said the same thing—change. But that didn’t hold up even beyond the healthcare debacle. I was a dem then.
Barry was a great orator…that’s about the extent of his talents.
NOT tired of winning yet! You?
This is the American Counter Revolution against the Soft Coup Revolution of the last 17 years.
As a former Dem who had to re-register as one when I worked on the RFK Jr. presidential campaign here on the left coast (since he was originally running as a Democrat), I can tell you why they'll have a hard time re-capturing voters in 2026: because they went full-on crazy-pants as their main agenda over the last decade. And they still seem too slow in dialing that back (check out how many boys are still winning girls track races in Oregon, Washington state, and California). The latest US voter registration release shows that the Republicans recently gained 2 million voters, while Democrats lost 2 million. Gonna take a lot more than a Hakeem Jeffries speech.
Justin Castrotrudeau's net worth in 2020 was $10 million. Two years later, it was $385 million. His salary is $331K. So....
We were promised deep investigations into congress-critters that became multimillionaires on modest salaries... vile swine like Illness Omar and her VERY greasy hubby... AOC... many more... so far, nothing.
Even a congressional hearing, bring in the millionaires and asking them under oath how they did it... would be enlightening...
Indeed Full on Crazy Pants!
The proof is in the pudding…as my 94-year-old mother would say. Action speaks louder than words…another favorite of hers! Go Mom!
"Surprise, britches!" That's a keeper!
Funny how the mind works VVV,
… I missed the ‘r’ when I read it
me too! I like this one also: "as soon as Biden infested the Oval Office"...it's what they did!! Never forget!!
Yeah, Karen, infested is the correct word
…I call them cockroaches because folks object to my use of the more appropriate term
Well, yeah, pretty much. I don’t do much in cussing territory (not ladylike), but this one, maybe….
Me too, but I do like “beaches”, or “beeches”, and my favorite, “bullsheet” 😂
🤣 me too.
And I also say “sheet” instead of “shit”. I don’t give a sheet! Or - I could give two sheets about that. What a pile of sheet!
I remember when I was younger being chastised by a deeply legalistic neighbor that saying “oh my gosh” was a sin because God knew I meant oh my God and it’s still taking his name in vain. I disagreed. I felt God saw and recognized that I was refusing to use his name in vain in that figure of speech and hose a different recognized word to express the same frustration or amazement. It will forever be an argument in the church 😆 like so many other things.
What the fork are you talking about?
🤣🤣👍
I couldn’t give two forks about it …
"Taking God's name in vain" is claiming to be a Christian and then not giving one whit about His commandments.
It is bringing the Way of Truth into disrepute.
If one says they are a Christian, and then does everything to live by those precepts, this is different from one who claims "christianity" and then lives a depraved life.
Only one of the two is "taking God's name" in vain.
And it's not the one who turns to God for guidance in their daily lives . . .
So many interesting responses here, I appreciate them all. Thought provoking. The sounds of iron sharpening ….
This is my understanding
Technically, Juju, ‘God’ is not God‘s name (like ‘father’ it’s a title), so saying that God should damn something is, technically, not taking his name in vain
… and in most cases, it’s probably appropriate
Exactly. One could ask the person - What is His Name?", and see if they know. The Pharisees refused to use the Father's Name for that same legalistic reasoning. So they substituted the word Adonai when they read the Torah aloud. That is one reason they hated the Messiah, He used His Father's Name.
But, Jeremiah, if one uses “God” in that way, I am guessing the folks on the hearing end know full well what was meant!
Gotta love the plank in the eye people who “mean no harm but”.
Yeah, Debra, like “no offense, but” or “with all due respect, but”
…gotta love them butheads
Juju…I was chastised for the same thing by my church school teacher in middle school!
My fav…”up a statuary tributary with no visible means of propulsion.” translated…up sheet creek without a paddle!!!
🤣👍
I couldn't believe all of the comments I saw on social media about the "bruise" on Trump's hand. When I get bloodwork done twice a year, they often take it from my hand and the purple bruises last at least a week! This has been the story of my life for as long as I can remember, and I'm 75 and still alive and kicking. Didn't know that people viewed my bruises over the years as signs of impending death.
Imagine the size of the bruises on all those leftist egos!
Yeahhhhh
RFK Jr. should declare TDS as a public health emergency. Let’s get TDS sufferers the help they need. Living in an alternative universe will take years off of life expectancy (perhaps that’s not a bad thing).
I have those kinds of bruises from hitting my hands on strength machines while lifting weights at the gym. I didn't know I was going to die soon.
😂😂😂
And Trump is most definitely still alive and kicking--kicking ass!
“Kicking ass!” Quite literally since he’s battling the donkey party. 😉
😆😁 Very true! 😁
I never let them draw blood or insert an iv in my hand.
Too many nerves close to the bone and tendons that could cause permanent disability!
I’ve done probably thousands of IVs in my time as a paramedic and many times I notice IV techs blame the patient for “bad veins” but it’s usually the embarrassment of the person doing the IV who lacks the skill. I think all IV techs need to start their first 1,000 IVs in the back of a rollicking ambulance with a patient thrashing around. They’d learn the skill quickly.
This isn’t a brag, but more a statement of fact that I rarely missed IVs or blew the vein as a paramedic. They should not be missing that many veins sorry to say!
Yes, and I will comment that dehydration makes it more difficult and age can be a factor as well.
Believe me, I don't desire this--but I didn't say that I also have 2 black and blue arms from the tries there before I agree to the hand.
Sometimes I even have to go back another day because apparently there is a limit to how many times they can stick you per visit.
Maybe this could help:

thanks
Excellent resource!! Thank you.
My husband is 79 too. Big red bruises are common as your skin gets thin and some meds make it worse. Just grazing something brings one on.
Blood thinners are a big culprit!
Yep! VERY common. It’s less common to see older people without them actually…
Agreed! (Although, I am grateful that when I used to bruise easily, i was directed to incorporate more vitamin C into my diet)
I believe that’s scurvy…but maybe it helps in general?
The level of hatred aimed at President Trump is mind blowing.
How many firm handshakes does he do every day? I’m sure that accounts for some bruising.
Off the subject, but RFKjr put out a statement in the WSJ, yesterday, about the CDC reorganization.
Reading the most-liked comments surprised me. It was a massive, one-sided, personal, attack against Kennedy and everything he stands for.
I sit and wonder at the mechanics behind it. How many of the comments where by real people? How was this response funded? Who organized and funded it? What was big Pharma’s role?
Ever since Matt Taibbi’s work on the X-files, I’ve been wary of the many forms of censorship and MDM, but it is scary to see it in action. Too much of what appears to be reality seems to be driven by big money and big tech.
I'm sure pharma has hired some big guns in public relations to run the "RFKjr is a demon that must be stopped" campaign.
Bet on it.
The left rents protesters. Maybe they sent out their trolls. We know that most Trump supporters were ecstatic when RFK Jr joined the team.
Maybe Trump needs to make renting protesters illegal. Wouldn't that immediately improve the lives of folks in Portland and Seattle?
Not likely DM,
…as most of them folks would then be unemployed
I'm thinking that protesting and scamming the entitlement system is tbe career path for many of these people.
End with transparent W2 reports easily searchable on a gov website showing exact cash paid out from every org doing political influence work.
Or 1099 reports. They may be treated as contract workers. The IRS gets both. It would be interesting to see how this work is categorized. Unless it's straight cash.
A lot of them are seniors. Probably just trying to supplement social security income.
I agree and I guess I can't blame them. Also, I think a lot of seniors are uninformed because they aren't necessarily tech users so are limited to watching the propaganda on CNN or MSNBC vs the many alternatives info sources out there. I am 70, myself, but I have used computers & the Internet for a very, very long time.
I've also noticed those type of comments in articles about President Trump and every single court ruling against his trying to do anything to help this country. Strange almost coordinated or fake??
The fine journalist st Epoch Times, Jeffrey Tucker, who interned with Ron Paul, has a much better ID. Give it the USAID treatment.
https://lists.theepochtimes.com/archive/DYKZNYa8s/5kdG8QBtO/7b2jVHffl
Great article by Tucker, thanks for the link.
Wow- excellent article that I am forwarding to many friends and family members. Thank you for sharing it!
It’s like all the Trump-Epstein comments that pop up on X no matter the topic. It was so sudden. Then they were everywhere.
There's an Epstein connection to Steven Pinker, found in his Little Black Book.
Who Was Jeffrey Epstein Calling?
NY Mag Intelligencer, July 22, 2019
https://archive.ph/UVRVH
Steven Pinker
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Pinker
"In 2006 Pinker provided to Alan Dershowitz, a personal friend of Pinker's who was Jeffrey Epstein's defense attorney, Pinker's own interpretation of the wording of a federal law pertaining to the enticement of minors into illegal sex acts via the internet. Dershowitz included Pinker's opinion in a letter to the court during proceedings that resulted in a plea deal in which all federal sex trafficking charges against Epstein were dropped. In 2019, Pinker stated that he was unaware of the nature of the charges against Epstein, and that he engaged in an unpaid favor for his Harvard colleague Dershowitz, as he had regularly done. He stated in an interview with BuzzFeed News that he regrets writing the letter. Pinker says he never received money from Epstein and met with him three times over more than a dozen years,and said he could never stand Epstein and tried to keep his distance.
Pinker states in his introduction that his ideas are "deeply influenced" by Chomsky; he also lists scientists whom Chomsky influenced to "open up whole new areas of language study, from child development and speech perception to neurology and genetics."
That's Wiki's state-approved narrative of Pinker, and they're sticking to it. But since Jeff brought up both names separately of course I had to share the connection.
I think a lot of response is based on the 24/7 fear and panic narrative generated in 2020. The indoctrination is pretty persistent and self perpetuating at this point. They really believe that living like pre 2020 is purposefully killing grandma.
Readership of the WSJ isn't what it used to be. During the Obama Administration, the WSJ news division went gaga over the LightBringer. Conservative readers cancelled their subscriptions and the Left took up the slack in order to "own the Right". My point - there is a significant overlap in the readership of the NYT/WaPo and the WSJ.
There are real people that, sadly, are convinced RFKjr is truly ruining science and health. I work in HC (for group of doctors), spoke to one personally last week.
On the POSITIVE side, two people I sincerely never thought would ever believe anything bad about the “savior” Covid shots surprised me recently. One (my actual bestie 😊, who sadly had 2 🥕 and yes has some heart issues, some preexisting and some definitely not), without any pushing on my side (I HAD pushed then stopped b/c there was no convincing), sent a link for the Malone film “Inside mRNA” and started telling ME of the dangers. And my neighbor (not sure if she had 1 Moderna or 2 Pfizer’s but told me herself she’d had the “vaccine”), told me “no more”, “not having anymore”. She wouldn’t reveal what convinced her and I do not know if she’s had any adverse effects. But 3-4 years ago she wouldn’t even barely listen to arguments that opposed the clot shots.
You know that’s a carrot ?
Gym+Fritz, when I read "X-Files" I immediately thought of "I Want To Believe" posters! lol
I think it was called the "Twitter Files" but I know what you meant.
Loved the comment.
I think we're seeing the remaining framework of a Democrat party and platform. Normally it would be covered with paint, wallpaper, stucco, bricks, and so on. But now it isn't. It's as barren and flaccid as their last president. I'll bet it all comes down to the money. They used to have oodles of it, virtually unlimited, and tossed around like candy at a parade or swag bags at the Oscars. Journalists could be bought. Elected reps could grow insanely rich in a few terms. Rent-a-mobs with top-quality signs would show up in luxury coaches. Even foreigners were in on it. But if you take away the money, you take away their oxygen. Sadly, the money was all borrowed from the future, to be repaid by taxpayers.
I actually wish the remaining democrats that have at least half their sanity would ALL register as Independent. Then let the two major parties become Republican and Independent. Then we are back to all being friends again with procedural disagreements about how best to accomplish things that we all want to accomplish, respectful debates return, and respectful concessions as the fraud and corruption are removed.
Then let’s make this the historic moment in history when one of the major two parties in our country was buried, never to return, seen as an ugly stain on our country’s history. Although I wouldn’t even attend a funeral for it - I’d rather bury it out back like deeply offending refuse and never think of it again.
Like the Whig Party falling apart in the 1800’s.
Exactly! Unfortunately the democrats didn’t have the needed backbone to oust their radicals like they should have to save their party’s namesake, and instead committed their party to the grave.
Yes, and Jeff mentioned just that the other day.
I agree Juju! I think America is strongest when we have two strong political parties that have America’s best interests as a goal and just differ on how to get there. The current Democrat party just wants to destroy everything that makes America a great place, they’re nihilists. They should go defunct.
That’s what the dems gets for bowing at the alter of the far left crazies. Too many low information voters, as Rush used to say!
Independents are not a party, they choose to vote for any party or no party. They shouldn’t be saddled with party organization and platforms. If the Democrat party members want to belong to a political party that works differently than the current one, then they need to step up and create something that suits them. Let that cage fight begin.
The Demonrat Party are the walking dead and big money knows this and they are not going to throw good money after bad. The life blood of the Party - money - has dried up. It's only a matter of time till the Party literally falls apart and disappears forever. The American political landscape is evolving into a one-party system.
No. All true but that last sentence. It does not mean a one party system. It means a different party will now overtake the Democrat position in our two party system, as it should be. And some of us will switch to that party and others will remain Republican. It becomes a republic again where we all agree on certain things and just disagree on how to get there.
Concerning the idea of agreeing on things, Juju, I’ve often thought that a Supreme Court ruling should not be accepted unless it’s a 9/0 decision.
… and then I consider that, when Jesus rules, it will be a one party system
I can’t wait until Jesus rules. In the meantime we cannot give that same blind faith to a group of us men though. (Mankind I mean). Not even us Christian’s given how much we all still pettily disagree on. But when Jesus is here there may be questions and petitions but there won’t be disagreements and arguments over decisions.
Nothing would ever get justice if we had to wait for a politicized liberal supreme justice to vote unanimously. 9-0 requirement would leave so many unjust rulings stand. A majority is wiser I think, but yeah they should aim for unanimous each time.
Even so, Come Lord Jesus!
I believe one more thing has to happen for your last sentence to be true: remove power from the 4th branch of government, i.e., the ‘intelligence community’.
Am pretty certain this is in process but the nature of that bunch, I envision whack-a-mole. Also pretty sure of their ‘contributions’ to C&C comments.
PS: Isn’t it kind of disgusting that there are a minimum of 18 agencies in this ‘community?’
TOTALLY! Some of the IC's contributions to C&C are obvious... others more sneaky. Clearly, they are the enemy of the American people.
That was only my opinion and you could well be correct. It is going to take some time to find out. But what I see happening now is a consolidation of power. However, a two-party system is not the definition of a "republic". That ship sailed a looong time ago. The US Constitution ceased having any meaningful relevance in this country over 100 years ago - EXCEPT when it was convenient to quote that historical document. Otherwise, it is just a doily used to cover the corruption of the MIC political establishment that sold this country down the river to the globalists and their forever wars. The reality is that we are an Empire that long ago ceased being a republic. I am thankful we have an imperial POTUS in Trump rather than a woke Marxist pedo POTUS who was actively waging war upon the American people.
Phil, when the Whig party died suddenly in 1854 (in part due to their ardent support of slavery), the anti-slavery Republican Party was born from its ashes in that same year. Which resulted in maintaining a 2-party reality in US politics. If D party collapsed, something else would spring up, IMO. Something like MAGA-light, which I would welcome.
History never repeats exactly... but it does rhyme.
For sure, you are correct on the rhyming part. Whig party collapse preceded a climax 4th Turning Civil War, 6 years after. If D party collapses I expect another rhyming climax to our current winter season.
Rather than looking for analogies to 1854 and the war of 1861, I think a closer analogy is the Roman Empire. The Roman people cheered when Caesar crossed the Rubicon and entered Rome with his army forever ending the Roman Republic. The corrupt Roman Senate (like our Congress) fled before Caesar and escaped to Asia. The people were more than happy to be rid of their corruption.
I’m familiar w/ Howe/Strauss generational theory for England/America and see we are now 80 - 100 years (or a ‘lifetime’) away from last climax event, WW2. Before that, a lifetime back was Civil War, then go back another lifetime to find Revolutionary War, then Glorious Revolution, etc. This rhyme goes back to War of the Roses, 15th century.
We are primed for something now that likely involves bloodletting. That act and revulsion of it, then allows a society to ‘come back together again’ for a new spring.
Nothing new under the sun?
LOL, Maga Light! Trump does nothing Light:}
If D party ever collapsed and another rose up in its place, it would not be led by Trump. It would [likely] be led by Ruy Teixeira-type thinking D's. I regularly read Ruy's Liberal Patriot substack which has common-sense Democrat voiced policies/approaches. Ruy thinks D's should ditch progressives and go back hard to actively supporting the working class. I think I read his stack to remind myself there are classic liberals still out there, even if I don't fully agree with them.
At this point I do not believe there are any at all but I hope I am wrong. We will see what happens as time does tell all.
Neither do I. The Demoncrat Party has lost ALL legitimacy with the American people except for the pink/purple haired, gender confused people(?) who are clearly insane. That Party has no one to put forward as a candidate to the American people. They have literally committed political seppuku.
If you don’t believe they are not out there then I suggest you step away from social media and go talk to your fellow citizens. The internet and social media can seriously warp your view of friend and foe, alike. I say this as 3x Trump voter, but with friends who lean blue. We come together with shared interests in other hobbies (ours is athletics).
I think another party will come along. But yes I agree.
The Dems are wrong on every single issue, except for being opposed to the genocide in Gaza, of which we are sadly complicit. 77% of Democrats are now opposed to supporting Israel. Unfortunately, the Dem leadership is every bit as owned as the Rep leaders in this regard. So while they continue to make claims about “our Democracy!” the D leadership is not being swayed by what their electorate is telling them.
Our saving grace is now the younger generation, which is solidly America First and anti-war (on both the left and the right).
And why shouldn’t they be? They’re going to be the ones that have to fight these wars and pay for them. ☮️☮️🙏🏻❤️✝️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes, Israel's mass-slaughter in Gaza, fully supported and funded by Trump, is an appalling betrayal of America... and involves serious war crimes, in which Trump and America are now fully complicit/GUILTY.
Supporting, arming and funding Ukraine is also shameful.
Yes, AIPAC/Mossad is VERY powerful and a deep investigation of their corruption and extortion of our politicians is so badly needed... but will never happen...
Right?!!!
and Soros, Sam Bankman Fried. Ukraine, gonna be interesting
I heard numbers of 300 million of Republicans election money in the bag and the Dems only 13. I might be wrong but it was a huge difference I doubt the Dems can even fantasize about getting.
They spent a lot of dough on Kamala and made her very rich. Bet they wish they had some of that $$$ back. What a waste of money on a clueless, incompetent woman. Was that too harsh?
Came from USAID grift? The Dems who have experienced an explosion of net worth in a very short time?
Gig is up
I’m not a bit worried about the midterms. Seeming chaos now…some “short-term” pain that will likely result in long-term gain. I think most Americans will be pretty happy by this time next year :). I even have hope for my blue Colorado. We went 43% for Trump in 2024. If we can clean up voter roles and eradicate mail-in voting…who knows? Maybe we’re not as blue as we think we are???
Hope…I have high hope🎶🎶‼️
Hopefully NY State will get out of the Blue fix we find ourselves in. We are pulling for Ellsie Stefanik to bring common sense back to NY. Hochul has lost her mind!!
Agreed. Hochul is so much worse than I imagined. I was happy to get rid of Cuomo, but we really went from the frying pan into the fire with "crazy-eyes"!
Just like the Chicago mayor. How could anyone be worse than Lightfoot but here we are!!
I'm so convinced plus I don't like how some. Not all but enough GOP members don't support the presidents actions when he needs it. Like getting judges or other DOJ members approved.
Same here in Maryland. Maryland is about 40% Republican. Get rid of illegals, add in voter ID and it might actually go red.
Fingers crossed!
Contract 2.0 - Flat Tax plan. America would cheer SO LOUD!
or NO tax plan. :)
Tariffs!
Upper income people will love that. Lower income people not so much.
As usual Jeff, your Contract 2.0 list is a good start. To that I would add (1) prohibit insider trading by Congress, (2) reinstatement of mental institutions with large funding increases, (3) massive push & funding on trade schools and access especially for the poor caught in endless doom loops and, for fun, how about (4) term limits....
Can we add to your list a couple immigration reforms:
- no more birthright citizenship
- only citizens can own property
Excellent additions!
That’s what Mexico does folks ..if you are within 100 miles of any body of water of ocean then you cannot hold your own title .. the gov holds it in the form of almost a lease called a Fido Comiso. They are yearly dues for the custodial maintenance of your lease typical from $600-$1200 on up depending on the value of the property. Not much but just reminders of who owns what.
Sounds like property taxes in the US. Letting the property owner know who really owns it.
Good morning, C&C, from the misty, cloudy, overcast Pacific Northwest! We went from mid-80s and muggy, to cool, misty and I-can't-believe-it-is-fall-already!
Mrs. "the Knife"
Unfortunately it's still 100 degrees in AZ. Lol
And they are still stealing elections here too, and will in 2026. Katie Hobbs, Kris Mayes and Adrian Fontes, all criminals will ensure it is so. The President must impose changes on federal elections to ensure they cannot steal them with wholesale mail in ballot fraud. It's how they were s_Elected.
The cartel was behind a lot of them. They have the money to support them too
They couldn’t let Lake close the border. It was fixed.
Hobbs campaigned like Biden. She avoided media by hiding. Lake was all over the state campaigning and meeting people. I attended a couple of her events and people were showing up. You can't convince me that she lost.
This is why Trump's war against the cartels is so important, one of many reasons.
Stop the money flow
… get government out of the drug business (legal and illegal)
Fact. Fontes was/is a drug cartel "lawyer".
That's why she's called Cartel Katie. I read that the AZ Treasury is missing $350k. Others have said its more.
Ditto here in NM
I won't rub it in, but here in the Finger Lakes region we've been enjoying clear, warm days (mid 70s) and crisp nights (50s) perfect for sleeping with the windows open and blankets on. It's been a pure delight!
Same here at the base of the Ruby Mountains in NE Nevada. In addition, our county is 80% Republican. What’s not to like.
Same here in Indiana!! Loving this weather!
Love that kind of weather!!
Texas, too. May we both have a beautiful Fall season =)
South Carolina should still be in sweaty summer, but we're on our second week of low, dry 80's. It's been pure bliss, but we sure need rain. Makes me a little nervous about what fall will bring.
Texas too but we Southerners just learn to endure. 😊
We have family in AZ - we kid each other about the weather a fair bit. My SIL uses the old "but it is a dry heat" as her tried and true rebuttal to "it is way too hot". I modified it a couple of years ago when she asked how the weather was in the PNW. I told her, "It is 43 degrees today, but at least it is a damp cold!" 😂
Mrs. "the Knife"
It’s supposed to burn off and be a lovely 82 degrees here near Seattle.🙂
As long as it is not muggy! Those muggy days were just sapping my energy!
Mrs. "the Knife"
I hear ya!! Gotta have that cool breeze or anything above 78 is tooooo haaawt!!😅
Ya just gotta love that "on-shore flow" off the Pacific!! 😂
Mrs. "the Knife"
95+ here in EA WA. Yuck.
Sorry, Jeff, but at least it is a dry heat, right? You could head across the Cascades for a bit of a cool off! 😂🤣
Mrs. "the Knife"
It's supposed to cool off here starting this weekend, then 70s and rain next week. I'm crossing the Cascades in a few weeks for a concert in Seattle. I think it's inside. Enjoy your cool stuff!
Not in Spokane where it’s been Smokey and in the high 90’s. I prefer misty and cool.
Hello from Spokane today!
Misty and Cool? My favorite old girlfriends...
🤣🤣 you got me snorting coffee again you rascal you
Oops. I wish I were sorry.
I will take the AZ dry heat over summer humidity even though the dry heat is like sticking your head in an oven.
Good morning C&Cers
Jeff is on a roll today. Love to all.
It seems like, regarding Epstein…Trump
And his team chose their words extra carefully - so as not to be caught in a lie when the files and charges roll out. I don’t claim to understand it all, and was miffed at Trump saying the whole Epstein thing was a hoax or words to that effect. This is obviously not over. After Trump got Democraps to beg for the Epstein files (wow 😂) it seems they are rolling out now. TAW…again
I can't wait for the curtain to be pulled back exposing the truth. Trump knows that anything he objects to will put Dems into overtime to do the opposite. Kind of like parenting teenagers.
—“Kind of like parenting teenagers.”
Or toddlers 😆
Drop 'em off at grandma and grandpa's house.
I’ll just sugar them up and send ‘em back! 😂
Also give them Barq's root beer. It contains caffeine!
Send 'em off to military school.
So funny! And true!
Trump knows what he’s doing .. and always or at least almost always and esp since now he has sharpened the knife and done his homework.
What is your take on Trump's support and funding of Israel's mass-murder and land thefts in Gaza?
Serious question.
