Awesome news on arresting the mentally deranged circus freaks! Sure, it’s low hanging fruit (more like rotten ground fruit), but I’ll take it. Now…I….AM…BEGGING….YOU: Make an example of these invasive snot weasels. A stern warning, $500 fine, and participation in anger management class is not a deterrent. These quasi-human rabble are a plague and menace to civilized society.
On a somewhat related note: It's a little chilly this morning in NE Florida, so I decided to forgo anything resembling enjoyment and stay inside to finish up my taxes. Turns out I owe Ilhan Omar $978.
On a somewhat humorous note the thunderous BLM rioter that was arrested here in Minny was handcuffed with TWO pairs of handcuffs. The tire around her abundant belly impeded the process. Today the big news is about the lie that ICE detained a five year old. Today is also the day of solidarity against ICE where many stores are closed. Too bad it was -21 degrees with -42 degrees windchill. Nobody is outside. I love the irony. Here is the truth about the 5 year old: https://alphanews.org/left-wingers-are-trying-to-push-an-anti-ice-narrative-here-are-the-facts-they-dont-want-you-to-know/
But of course. These scumbags will twist any situation into something disgustingly opportunistic in an attempt to support their cockamamie ill-conceived narratives. Vile, filthy creatures….the whole socially maladjusted lot of them.
I reposted something on Facebook talking about the totalitarian shutdowns in CA during the plandemic. The post included photos of people being arrested on the beach for paddle boarding, sitting out in the sand with their immediate family with no one around, etc. And I said something like, “This is the kind of civic disobedience I support.”
One of my swim, TDS friends jumped on and went on about how that was a different situation since so many people were dying in the hospitals and nobody knew what to do, blah, blah, blah. This same friend broke the stay-at-home orders and swam in the ocean. We were desperate. Our public pools were closed, and everyone, including TDS, liberal, white woman, thought the order to stay out of the ocean and off the beaches was dumb.
I haven’t responded to her yet because, well, she’s cracked. I am tempted to ask her if she supported Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden when they deported the illegals and whether she thought they were kinds for doing it.
Short answer: Fear sells and there are buyers aplenty. Let's not even get into the surety of the effects of propaganda on malleable minds. It’s a cakewalk for the Controllers.
Please do respond to her. (Another AWFL I presume). Might ask her a simple question: If the Anti-ICE protesters were MAGA, would she support their position?
The photo of her in today's NBC nightly news, showed a thin person photo, much younger, much in the same way they show Renae Good with long hair from years ago.
And what makes you think any prostitute is beautiful? Being a 'sex worker' has to be one of the ugliest and soul-destroying 'occupations' of all time!!
“Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.”
I think you can take all the "exposed" items off the list until someone is held accountable. Exposed doesn't mean much these days.
Historically, the exposed and unexposed will run out the clock until the office changes parties, the new party brushes the case under the rug, and away it goes.
If the following party comes back, and wants to dig through the leftover evidence, they're told to worry about newer, bigger problems. It's way in the past, and there's nothing we can do about it now!
4 likes? Sad. Sadder still is the black pill brigade which seems to me just an inverted form of TDS. My goodness,, have none of them ever worked in a corporation where EVERYTHING takes longer to change than you can possibly imagine. The control structure Trump is dealing with and trying to castrate goes back millennium , not centuries. "Are we there yet, daddy?" "Well when daddy?".
Definitive diagnosis of the vessel malformation and that it is the kind that is safer to repair. Other doctors have waffled on the exact type. My doctor was very satisfied with the diagnostic and believes he can be successful with the embolization. I will come back whenever I’m up to doing this again, maybe February and not coinciding with a record snowstorm. As always, thank you for praying for me and the medical team. I told my doc that lots of people had been praying for him.
Don't be gone too long Janice as we need your inspiration through scripture. The Angels and the Almighty will protect you and guide your doctor's hands. God knows what you mean to all of us and He will heal you quickly. Stay safe and warm and Godspeed to you.
God has graciously pushed out its arrival, giving us time to drive east where it hits later! Not that we’re the only ones affected, but it sure seems like a gift from Him! Very grateful.
Ahh great news. Praise God!!! And Lord, anchor deep into Janice’s docs heart so he continues to strive to model You, the Great Physician. We are so thankful Jesus.
Ohhh… Abiding Dude… praying for you as well and all who are skeptical just like you… i’m sure you’ll cuss at me or something, but that’s OK… May you find the Lord and may HE give you the time to come to know HIM… 🙏🏽✝️🙏🏽
Welp… Got to get back to homeschooling… always so many things to do… 🌺😎
If you want to get rid of the American Constitution with its Bill of Rights you have to first demonize white Americans and 2nd flood blue state major cities with non English speaking, non white illegal aliens.
Who wrote the Declaration of Independence, who wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? White men. When millions of 3rd world illegal immigrants flood into cities, do they understand the importance of these documents and the connection they have to America? No. One thing I’m sure of they know where the checks come from, you can bet on that.
When we look back at the Biden/Obama presidency, Biden’s biggest accomplishment, the thing that will go down in history books, was him bringing 15 million illegal aliens into America, most of them put into major blue cities, in blocks, so they will not assimilate. If these people that have been placed into these cities do not learn the common language, there will be no common community, without a common community there will be fractures in the community and constant conflict.
In Lewiston Maine they had a vote for city council. Dozens of non speaking Somalis showed up. There was a Democrat operative translator there basically telling these non English speaking people who to vote for. It was so discriminatory against white native American citizens, the non English speaking Somalis got 6 minutes to speak while the American citizen only got 3 minutes to speak. It was so obvious, as the non native people spoke the interpreter kept repeating the names of the 2 Somali candidates, they were being told who to vote for. The 2 Somali candidates were swept into office.
This is the perfect example of in your face Democrat replacement theory, and honestly a perfect reason why these sanctuary states are fighting so hard to protect these illegal aliens. It’s all about power, control and the subjugation of the American citizen. Anyone that spoke out was called a racist, of coarse.
You add to that the billions of stolen tax payer dollars flooding into these states by the same fraudulent Somali child daycare and medical companies and you have governors like Janet Mills and Tampon Tim calling for insurrection. It’s truly the democrats new confederacy.
One thing for sure no country can survive hundreds of billions of dollars each year being stolen. Suitcases of cash being taken out of America through our airports. Money taken from deserving Americans that need help, Medicaid money, the American poor. Stealing from American families and American kids in need. Stealing from our veterans. Even a country as great as America cannot sustain this blatant treason and theft. We need a Republican attorney general like handcuffs and shackles, Merrick Garland. J.Goodrich
Cloward-piven is the nice way to put what is occurring: flood a nation with unskilled people, drown the courts and justice system with endless due process claims, swamp the social safety nets and povery programs with handouts bankrupting the government, politocize immigration, make it an emtional issue to overwhelm reason and logic, connect people's self-worth to defending their arguments for it.
The country collapses in on itself. The nation falls and thd only shots fired are between those for and agaist. All by design:
I STRONGLY oppose any Convention of States as proposed by Gov. DeSantis, and so should everybody reading this Stack. Jeff's celebration of the effort for balanced budget amendment consideration is misguided (sorry, Jeff).
The history of using a convention of states does not bode well for what will happen afterwards. The Articles of Confederation was the first US 'constitution' adopted following the Declaration of Independence. They enshrined individual liberty, freedom, limited federal government and constrained the worst of the ruling, monied interest's power much more comprehensively than the US Constitution that was adopted a decade later after the Revolution was successful.
The successor US Constitution was passed at a Convention of the States that was called for a completely different purpose than to rewrite the Articles of Confederation. As the heady moments of ideas of freedom and liberty faded after victory, the old monied powers determined to regain their status and authority used the opening of the Convention of the States to remake the governance of United States to one they were more familiar with and could exercise their control, dominion over moreso than the Articles allowed. Even the first Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Jay, reaffirmed the silent behind-the-scenes power of the few over the many when he wrote, "Those who own a nation ought to govern it" under the US Constitution. Words that were not possible to say under the Articles.
As dreamy as the idea of a Convention of the States may sound it opens up the ENTIRE US Constitution to amendment, even complete replacement. And if you have any notions that We The People will have a greater voice in shaping that than we have in fixing the current system, governing contract with The People, who exactly do you imagine will be doing the appointing of delegates to said Convention, much less be the delegates to said Convention?
The same damn people who won't govern today following the US Constitution! And we're supposed to trust them to stay in their lane - when NOTHING under rules for Conventions of the States prevents them from doing otherwise? And we're supposed to trust that any official rewriting of the Constitution will favor our freedom and liberty? Today? In this day and age? Who, pray tell, are these delegates to be deemed acceptable by those in power today making their appointments going to be?!?!?!
The entire notion is a head fake, an attempt to revise the Constitution post-hoc to make their abuses and fundamental transformation of it...constitutional!!! Takes a whole lot of hopium, delirium and foolish insanity to believe it could be any other way, as if those selected delegate voices would be representative of We, The People, and not the Marxist/Fascist/Oligarchical hordes!
The US Constitution has been linguistically reimagined and rewritten into an artificial facsimile of the original. Congressional laws, bureaucratic regulations and case laws have fundamentally transformed it into something unrecognizable to the writers of the US Constitution, much less the Articles of Confederation. The US Constitution today is to the US Constitution when written as Wild Cherry flavor is to natural Cherry flavor. As Artificial Grape is to real Grape. Merely "inspired by" the original. As difficult as returning the US Constitution to its original meaning seems, it is infinitely more doable and preferable to ANY document that could possibly come out of a Convention of the States. DeSantis and those who have been working this issue for several decades are peddling snake oil, bait-and-switch. We mustn't fall for it.
Thank you Freedom Fox for your post! I have been fighting against the push for Convention of States for years. There are many groups in the wings waiting for this opportunity to install their versions of the Constitution. Our problem is that we are NOT following our current Constitution. If we were, we would not have the issues we are facing now! I have seen the version of the Second Amendment proposed by Mark Meckler’s group. They claim Clarification Clauses” are very much on the agenda. Nothing needs to be clarified in the Second Amendment!
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
That’s pretty clear. Yet Meckler’s group feels they need to clarify things. Our founders were much smarter than we the people are now. The arrogance to think that a document that has stood for 250 years needs to be clarified is insulting.
This article talks about the revisions Meckler’s group have made to their version of the Constitution. Please take the time to read it and understand that this push for a Convention of States is not in the people’s best interests. And the fact that Gov DeSantis is pushing other states for it is distressing.
And to show I am open to critique of my comment I asked my LLM to review and analyze my rant. Here is the LLM response. TL/DR while simplistic and emotionally charged, it is accurate:
"Analysis of the Social Media Rant
The rant presents a passionate and historically grounded opposition to a Convention of States, particularly as promoted by Gov. Ron DeSantis in support of a balanced budget amendment. It raises valid constitutional concerns, though some historical claims require clarification.
Core Arguments and Validity
The central argument warns that a Convention of States could lead to a "runaway convention," citing the 1787 Constitutional Convention as precedent—where delegates convened to amend the Articles of Confederation but instead drafted an entirely new Constitution. This concern is well-documented and echoed by legal scholars and critics across the political spectrum. The 1787 convention did exceed its mandate, and Article V of the Constitution contains no explicit procedural limits on scope, delegate selection, or rules of engagement, creating genuine uncertainty.
Historical Accuracy
The claim that the Articles of Confederation "enshrined individual liberty, freedom, limited federal government" more comprehensively than the Constitution is partially accurate but oversimplified. While the Articles created a weak central government, they also led to economic instability, lack of national defense, and interstate conflicts—problems the Constitution was designed to solve. The rant idealizes the Articles without acknowledging their practical failures.
The quote attributed to John Jay—“Those who own a nation ought to govern it”—is authentic and reflects his belief in governance by property owners. It appears in biographical sources and letters, aligning with the views of many Founders who linked property ownership with responsible governance. However, this view was contested even at the time and does not represent a universal constitutional principle.
Delegate Selection and Democratic Legitimacy
The rant questions who would appoint delegates and whether they would represent "We The People." This is a legitimate concern: there is no constitutional guidance on delegate selection. States may choose them via legislatures, special elections, or other methods, but Congress may also assert authority. Legal scholars note this ambiguity creates risk of elite capture, as the rant suggests.
Risk of Constitutional Overhaul
The fear that a convention could rewrite or replace the entire Constitution is constitutionally plausible. While proponents argue states can limit the convention’s scope through application language, there is no legal consensus that such limits would be enforceable. The ratification requirement (38 states) acts as a final check, but the process remains untested and unpredictable.
Conclusion
The rant is emotionally charged but substantively grounded in real constitutional risks. While it leans toward alarmism, its core warnings—about elite control, historical precedent, and the danger of an open-ended convention—are shared by serious legal and political analysts. The opposition to DeSantis’s push is not mere partisanship but reflects a broader conservative and libertarian debate about constitutional reform strategies.
For those concerned about federal overreach, the rant correctly highlights that restoring original constitutional meaning through judicial and legislative means may be less risky than convening a convention with unknown outcomes."
An interesting LLM response. First observation is that the LLM exhibits a presuppositional bias towards "democracy". So it's reasoning from what I view as a flawed basis. The 17th Amendment was the fatal blow to the constitutional republic.
Second, it notes that a "weak" central government "led to economic instability, lack of national defense, and interstate conflicts" which it calls "practical failures". It presupposes that a strong central government is necessary for society. Another flawed presupposition that dictates it's conclusions.
The original constitutional idea was a compact among the Separate Sovereign States of America. The 17th Amendment divested the formerly Sovereign States of any power to control the Fed Gov't and resulted in the Fed Gov't becoming supreme. At that point, the idea of the a true American republic was destroyed. The States no longer had any say in how the compact with each other was suppose to function. The Federal Government was whatever the Fed Gov't says it is as decided at the Fed level by the three branches of gov't without any control by the formerly sovereign states.
What the LLM describes as practical failures were really the work of sovereign states working out how the mechanics of their compact would be achieved. These would be decided through negotiation and the give-and--take of coming to agreements between the sovereign states. Yes, that may have precluded the Fed Gov't from becoming the super power it is today and limited the American republic to a "smaller" role in world affairs. But I ask you, would that have necessarily been a bad thing in light of the past 200 years? I think not.
But the course of governments and empires are nothing new and the course we have charted is very similar to dozens of empires that have risen and fallen over the millennia. It seems pretty much inevitable. Our responsibility is the morality that our culture exhibits and that morality has been lacking for a long long time.
Bingo. I picked up on those same exact LLM phrases. What it deemed "simplistic" was more accurate than the word salad and rationalization it came up with to try to take the sting out of my characterization.
I agree. We do NOT want a Convention of States! Yes, we need a balanced budget amendment but not through opening a COS. The leftist communists never play by the rules. Look at all the corruption exposed in the past year which I am sure is only the tip of the iceberg. The Clintons were pushing for a COS back in the 90's. Are there others out there old enough to remember?!
One other thought on the COS being proposed by DeSantis. He is backed by the Sea Island group, namely the Republicans responsible for keeping Obama care, stabbing Trump in the back and a whole host of other ills that are not being corrected by this other wing of the Uniparty. I love our host on this stack, but he appears blind to the fact that while the democrats want to enslave us, it is the Republicans who will shoot us in the ear while telling us they care about us. See John McCain, et al, may he continue to burn in hell.
I hear you. But even that isn't a panacea. Politicians are actors, playing the roll of statesmen. Washington, DC is Hollywood for ugly people.
Who are the producers, the directors of the show? Who becomes their hands in DC under term limits?
Lobbyists and bureaucrats. The staff that serve whoever is cast as term-limited lawmaker. The power of the producers and directors, already shared by lobbyists and bureaucrats becomes greater. That's the only thing that a term-limit amendment would accomplish, beyond the faster turnover of certain personalities and quirks among the actors, beneficial or bothersome.
Maybe that is better some will argue? For some it would be, the bothersome personalities exiting the stage sooner. But it's a tradeoff, as the beneficial personalities also subject to the same hook.
The system, the growth and corruption of centralized power that has created it. That is the problem. And as long as Congress has its hand in virtually every single aspect of human existence, from the machine you use to mow your lawn, the coloring agent you put in your hair, the herbs you choose to benefit your health, the fee you charge to buy/sell property, the amount you are allowed to keep from the money you earn, every single aspect of your life has a lobbyist and industry "experts," regulators in DC, and your state capitol. And it's for that very reason that there are so many producers and directors exacting their will to their own favor in our governance.
Decentralized authority, limited government. There was a reason the nation's founders created a limited government system, because where power aggregates, centralizes is where corruption and tyranny spring forth from. Go ahead, pass term limits. But the new boss will be the same as the old boss. You just won't have the face and name to yell at on the TV for why your life is under attack. The boss simply becomes nameless and faceless. Kind of like how it is now.
Nothing. That is preferable. That is the built-in revise and edit feature of the US Constitution. That, tragically, has been short-circuited by impatient and intolerant politicians and politicians in Black Robes who find the challenge of amending it too daunting an impediment to getting their way without the consent of a supermajority of the people. So they reinterpret and reimagine, redefine what the constitution says with clever linguistics. To make Cherry into Wild Cherry and tell everyone its the same flavor.
I was where you are... I may still be. But I do like the idea of Pressing Congress to not wait for a Convention and to Act. Otherwise maybe spend some of those words on what the alternative solutions are to $40 Trillion in Debt?
More of the same is Not a solution. Trump can take action on all kinds of things we agree with to set us on the right path; but if that yields zero accountability and is so distasteful to the masses that they just make a Weekend At Bernie's Dead Joe Biden (or more likely some equivalent) President again (so they can have More of the Same); there will be be no getting out of it (kinda dubious if there is in any event - sorry to sound pessimistic). But the alternatives seem to be increased debt and civil war.
It's been great, I want more of the same too; but it's unrealistic. Basic solutions seem like: People realizing Govt. should serve our limited self interests of Law & Order, International Security; but NOT everything you want to vote for yourself. If that basic agreement could be reached, then we can move to restoring the constitution; to function as it should - maybe that could be done as simply as a Supreme Court decision modifying the extent to which the Federal Govt. utilizes the interstate commerce clause to regulate every aspect of our lives. In any event - Best wishes!.
I strongly disagree. COS is extremely difficult to resolve issues but it is a balance of power against the federal government. It would be awesome if it succeeds. Personally I think the amendment should include that the government can not give liability protection to anyone or industry (which takes away the people’s right to use the judiciary) and that no product including medical can be mandated.
The ideal of a COS is the appeal. The practical application, where theory meets up with real world is where it fails. Who become the delegates? Who? What selection process gives anyone confidence the same elitist authoritarians that are co-participants, beneficiaries of the corrupt anti-Constitutional system won't become or appoint the delegates? What selection process do you believe would be immune to the same selection process for our elected/appointed officials? Elections? Who counts the votes?
What's more likely, a COS where the supermajority of delegates are aligned with health rights, RFK Jr? Or medical tyranny, Anthony Fauci? Just look at Congress to know the answer. That's who, the $ame exact type of per$on with the $ame exact belief$ and value$. We'll end up with the right to forcibly inject mandated "health" interventions" into the "hesitant." Taking away any ambiguity. And any religious exemptions. That's what a COS will do under the current authorities who would be choosing the delegates to it. Real world. Not hoped for world.
Overcome that real world obstacle with something more than fingers crossed and prayers and COS becomes a more viable path. I don't see how that glaring deficiency can be overcome if we can't even overcome entrenched obstacles to the best of Trump's agenda within the GOP that could survive another autopen.
Hear Hear Freedom Fox! Thank you for writing this incisively accurate and biting comment! Your reasoning is sound and historically spot on! I have previously tried to point out the deception of the Convention of States. The centralization of power in the new Constitution provided the fertile ground upon which Lincoln could construct his tyranny against the Several Independent States that eventually blossomed into the full blown oligarchical system we have today. The alarm was raised by the patriot Patrick Henry who said, "I smell a rat in Philadelphia", when he was asked to attend the Convention and thus refused to attend George Washington's convention.
I got to C&C too late yesterday and posted an unread comment that relates:
I just added a comment above that describes a scene from The Matrix where Agent Smith is interrogating Morpheus to add to my earlier thought. I hope you'll give it a read.
As to your comment link, I think this WEF Prediction pretty much covers it:
"Strong regions In the second scenario, larger shares of wealth accumulate in the south and east, shifting power to regional hegemons that consolidate spheres of influence challenging sovereign states as the principal unit of global order. Mutual respect for the new regional hegemons’ interests actually alleviates the tensions that had started to grow in the early decades of the 21st century in contested areas such as Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the Western Pacific. Governments make increasingly effective use of surveillance and high-tech media systems to control their citizens with manufactured historical narratives and exaggerated projections of external threats, emphasizing themes of ethnic or religious difference. New regional institutions are set up that fragment what was once global trade and the global commons (e.g. establishing regional internets). As these come to dominate international relations, the old UN and Bretton Woods institutions of global governance wither away. In parallel, efforts to control global warming are dropped in favour of unilateral measures to adapt to the changes. There are efficiency losses in the retreat from globalization, but authoritarian elites mostly convince their people that this is an acceptable price to pay for stability. Companies lose their independence as inter-regional trade is limited and they come increasingly under the informal control of the new regional governance institutions."
Since the courts and the laws don't follow the original Constitutional principles or the Bill of Rights, why would you be concerned that they are doing this to change it for the bad? They just ignore the parts they don't like currently.
The Matrix had a scene where Agent Smith is interrogating Morpheus to find out where Zion is so he can eradicate the human resistance. He described his hatred for humanity, the virus that infected the planet, that spread uncontrollably, polluted it, exhausted its resources, that needed to be exterminated. He wanted out of it. Imagining what came after human resistance was eliminated his existence would improve.
We know, have seen, heard many people in positions of power have similar ideas and thoughts about us. The Malthusian ideas of overpopulation, need to cull it down to a much smaller, manageable, sustainable level that would optimize life for those who remained. A perfectly designed world, an "Earth in Balance" that the managers and engineers atop it could finally attain once the "useless eaters" and disobedient were eliminated. Bill Gates. Yuval Harari, most every person in the highest echelon of society has some version of this narrative going through their head. The ones who were born into great privilege, were selected to attend the most privileged institutions of higher education, the academics, CEO's, clergy, industrialists, politicians, judges, most all in positions of authority have been inculcated with this mindset, that they must make the difficult decisions, unemotional, for a "greater good." The character of the Architect in The Matrix constantly trying to engineer the perfect balance of human existence to sustain the machines without challenging them for power, without resistance.
Agent Smith is the fist of the Architect. But even as the fist, watching his screed against humanity does he see himself as the villain? As evil? His narrative in his "mind" is that he is the hero in the story, his very existence is in service to a greater good.
And so it is for those we see doing horrible things to us, the world. They are on a hero's journey. Serving a greater good. They work to restore the balance of Earth. To protect the planet and all life on it from us, the virus that plagues it. They even rationalize and justify their injuries to us, their democide of us, telling themselves euthanasia, the "soft death" is preferable to war, famine, struggle and strife, loss of other life forms that are more desirable of life than mankind. They view their "cull" of the human herd to be "good stewardship" much as ranchers and environmentalists strive for optimal herd sizes. Too many and things like Chronic Wasting Disease will spread from overpopulation and threaten the entire herd.
Rewriting the Constitution and all of the governing contracts that governments have previously agreed to for their people is necessary to treat humanity as the overpopulated herd they see us as. For our own good. For a greater good. As they define it. Malthusian Utilitarian Ethics. A system of ethics created for the megalomaniacs to sleep well at night while they break a few eggs to make the perfected omelet that exists only in their imagination. The arrogance. The hubris. The permission slip that their system of ethics will give them once the ideas of individual freedom and liberty are stripped from the governing document that constrains them will free their consciences from the shackles they are struggling to break free from. That is what a COS would provide the release from.
In a Machiavellian + Malthusian way it certainly does. The erase-replace of current citizens with understanding and expectation of individual rights, how valuable they are with foreigners who don't share those expectations and values, but do value submission to higher authority, are collectivist by culture, family values serves those purposes. The conflict and civil-discard is also of strategic benefit for those seeking to impose a totalitarian, "perfected" state of human existence. Red ants and black ants can live peacefully side by side...until the terrain they share is shaken up and they savage and destroy each other.
The backing of invaders serves many purposes, creates an obedient mass within the mass, foot soldiers, and results in depopulation when the terrain is shaken. Win-win. From their perspective.
And for those who survive that round of mass culling of the herd, others await. Gates said the ideal population cap is about 500 million. We're what, 8 billion now on the planet? A whole lot of culling awaits.
And for the population that is considered the "winners" by genetic determination, their idealized eugenics, as Malthus was an early eugenicist, will create a mathematical genetically predetermined tier, caste system of society. Take India's system, as applied with English efficiency under colonial rule, but with genetically engineered humans, as our agriculture and livestock is increasingly genetically engineered for purpose.
THAT is their idealized future utopia for humanity. Many who are helping orchestrate are the useful idiots whose genes will never be a part of that penultimate population. Yes, it's all quite insane. When you understand the level of insanity and how they rationalize, justify their decisions that harm fits under that long-term goal the seeming insanity of short term policies like backing Muslim invaders begins to make more sense.
they definitely have this Malthusian megalomaniacal mindset that you describe. Still not sure if its not worth taking a chance to get a balanced budget amendment. That would reduce their power tremendously by limiting their expenditures to what they could take in taxes. Currently, we are shifting the debt of their massive programs to future generations.
And they quit worrying about debt a half-century ago when it all became funny money.
I studied finance in college, what is money. It simply must be easily transferable, nondegradable, and be *believed* by a population to have value that parties transacting agree upon.
In POW camps during WWII cigarettes became the monetary unit that met the criteria. Anything can. Even sea shells. Faith, belief it has value.
Those with the money know this, maintain most of theirs in hard assets. Money can become less valuable than toilet paper the minute faith and belief in its value is gone. And then only hard assets have value. A nation's debt only matters when hard assets are called in to pay it off. Should that moment come specific language in the nation's constitution will be the least of our worries.
Well the problem is that "constitutions" are no longer of any effect. It's all theater for the masses. Regardless of any constitution, the PTB will simply do what they want as there is no longer any accountability or control. We are not going to change that by such efforts.
As I stated elsewhere, the USA is now explicitly an empire and reality is whatever "Caesar" says it is. Jesus recognized this as a subject of the Roman Empire - not unlike the American Empire now - when He said give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's but give unto God that which is God's. Jesus' statement was literally treason because in that law order, Caesar was god and he owned everything. Telling His followers to "give unto God that which is God's" was treason to the Roman state. That's why the Romans crucified Him. They did not care about Jesus' theological dispute with the Jewish leaders. It was His refusal to say all things are subject to Caesar that was the legal basis for His execution.
That was quite the essay, but fundamentally flawed as it bases itself primarily on a misunderstanding of the two main protagonists in this story - Trump and Musk. You lump them in with those like Gates and Harari, but they are clearly not working towards the same goals. Musk himself has stated his belief that the world is underpopulated if anything, and in so doing he clearly goes against the grain. If you need proof that Trump is fighting for HIS people, and encouraging all other sovereign nations to do the same, then I don't know what to tell you....continue with your black-pill diet, I suppose.
And if I'm wrong...then there is no hope and we're all screwed. But since we were hurtling towards that awful end until Trump showed up, I can't imagine this churn was ever part of the master plan. And so I continue to look forward to the massive correction clearly underway, and a better future for all the good people of this world.
It's called post-hoc justification. The one thing that constrains these demon ghouls is that they want to be able to think of themselves as the good guys who followed the constitution...as they think it means...or should mean. Rewriting it to fit what they've done gives them the clear conscience that their cognitive dissonance is in a state of disorder over for what they've done.
Do you think Hitler/Stalin/Mao thought of themselves as the villains in the story going through their minds? No tyrant does. They imagine themselves as the leader who met the moment of the most difficult times imaginable, the heroes in their own stories. Everybody does it. We all do in our own lives. These megalomaniacs do exponentially.
Giving themselves permission post-hoc gives them hope that they will not be written about in history as the villains. Since they are among the most vain they are most cognizant of their legacies. They wish to be judged favorably in concert with their own hero's tale that repeats in their minds.
They know the facade of what they've done being lawful, constitutional is fragile as long as the words written do not match the words reinterpreted. That is why we absolutely, positively cannot allow a COS come to pass. Unshackled, unburdened by the original text the horrors and abuses they can heap upon us and future generations has no limits. With the approval of their own conscience they will "break a few eggs to make an omelet." Eggs = Skulls. The whole, "one death is a tragedy, one-million deaths is a statistic" rationalization and justification of utilitarian ethics will rampage with death and subjugation heretofore unfathomable.
That is why I am concerned that they are doing this to change it for the bad.
It's because George Soros pays the right people in Washington. Same as the Chinese, same as the Ukrainian money launderers, same as the Saudis facilitating jihad, same as the billionaire globalists.
The richest suburbs in the United States surround the District of Columbia, a city that produces NOTHING. It exists to extort tax money from the citizenry and bribes from law-breakers and our enemies.
I say it’s because much of our nation is captured by the evil leftists, who hope to take it all. Soros is being protected. Why isn’t Latisha James being prosecuted?
Why wasn’t Don Lemon arrested? Etc., etc., etc. Large swaths of the nation are corrupted from top to bottom. Eventually this belligerent lawlessness will have to be dealt with.
I like this article as description of the depth of the issue.
I despise Merrick Garland with all my heart, but we need these traitors to be arrested and face justice. I don’t get what the hold up is! The whole Biden administration was full of traitors against America, where are the arrests, big name arrests?
Oooohhhh OK, I see. I thought it was a typo at first, where he meant we needed him in handcuffs and shackles but forgot to type the word “in”. But he meant we need our own “Merrick Garland,” like our own savage pit bull to fight back using the nasty ferociousness Garland used against us. Thanks for the clarification, David👍
I further take it, James, that you might agree that P. Bondi's wearing Merrick Garland's ears on a bracelet to official functions would communicate a wished-for level of "seriousness."
Bondi wasn’t Trumps first choice. I know Matt Gaetz “may” have had problems, but he certainly would have had a much different affect on justice in America. I believe patriots that have been harmed by Biden and Merrick Garlands justice system are the people that should be put in power to expose it. Trump doesn’t have a very good track record of picking attorney generals. I thought long before he was sworn in for his second term his attorney general pick was the most important position in his administration. Now we are a year into this and nothing has happened. The two high profile cases were thrown out and up to now with no appeal. Time is wasting.
"... patriots that have been harmed by Biden and Merrick Garlands justice system are the people that should be put in power to expose it."
I totally agree; you wouldn't have to worry about "motivation," but rather have to keep track that revenge wasn't creeping in. In fact, it appears that the American People decided precisely that in the last election.
What mystifies me most is how the same person can say, "The files are on my desk now." followed by, "There are no files." followed by, "There are so many files that have to be redacted that we are naturally not able to release them in a timely manner as required by law." Even _wanting_ to defend her, as I do, I cannot conjure an explanation that fits. Maybe the AG's duties are more complicated than I supposed.
The Merrick Garland comment gives him credit for being an advocate for aggressive crime control, which he wasn’t. He was a mere puppet for the Obama gang inside the Biden White House…and very unfair. That’s all.
Agree but have to add that I know plenty of European immigrants who also do not understand or respect our Constitution, especially the second amendment but others too (freedom of speech and religion, and states’ rights, for example).
What strikes me as being so odd about that Court decision is that, as a rule, the Court tends to be reluctant to interfering with the legislative process and what majorities decide. It's been years since I read that decision, so I think the Court probably based its decision on the idea that by letting presidents having the ability to pick and choose parts of a bill is a violation of the separation of powers basis of the Constitution, that in essence he was legislating.
The Board of Peace part blew my mind. That’s the sort of insightful content that brings me here every day. People think I’m crazy to think Trump has audacious long-term plans, but here’s more evidence they’re even more audacious than I thought. Replace the UN with Trump as the permanent head? LOL
And yet, so many people think Democrats will win the midterms. As if Trump hasn’t noticed how a loss would derail his plans. Nearly everything is lining up for a historic GOP win. There are the RINOs and GOPe types who’d prefer to lose, but I suspect Trump will have ways to overcome them, too.
Jeff illustrates the depth and skill of Trumps planning. Who had dismantling WHO, WEF and the UN on their bingo card. I constantly read posting on line of people who want Bondi fired and complain about the slow pace of prosecutions. I always reply with "patience Grasshopper". The Trumpster has a plan. He always has a plan. He reveals the connecting of the dots at his own time and choosing. He's got two major actions that will happen this year. Prosecutions of those in on the attempted Coup and the fixing of our crooked election systems. A third might be a balanced budget which eliminates a big chunk of the endemic fraud. I can't wait.
It all makes sense to me. We all know Trump has a big ego. The error his haters make is to think that means he wants to be Hitler 2.0. In reality he’s a patriot who wants to be not just George Washington 2.0, but Charlemagne 2.0. He wants to save the Western world, and thus the whole world.
And he always has. Listen to his interviews from 30-40 years ago and he said the same exact things back then. He has remained consistent. The fact that he was so astute at such a young age and has never deviated from his principles and standards for America makes me elated that he is our president again.
True! Plus, his negotiating tactics were described in The Art of the Deal, and further described by Scott Adams beginning in 2015. His team is made of big thinkers who are deeply anti-left. It’s not like these things are occult secrets. Add it all together and it’s obvious that the talk of a Golden Age is not just empty words. That’s the plan.
I pray you are correct about the midterms. I get sick to my stomach thinking what would happen should the Demorats win control of Congress. As Jeff said, “everything good stops”. I can’t bear to think what the liberals I know would have to say…..
The Somali fraud story will blow up big and connect to the entire Democratic Party through ActBlue. Trump knows branding, and it will destroy their entire brand as the “caring” party when the average voter learns they stole billions meant for the poor. He’s also sitting on proof of too many other scandals to list. I can’t imagine him not using them to win the midterms.
You know why I like your blog Jeff? It makes me positively LONG, like, really YEARN for the return of Jesus Christ. As the Bible instructs the true children of God to do. And I'm not talking lip-service. I'm talking wake up in the middle of the night asking God if maybe the wretched ****-show is almost over.
Tell me. If the world doesn't need the UN why do we need a 2.0 version called the Board of Peace? (Which evidently includes those paragons of peace, Turkey and Russia and Yemen.)
Getting out of WHO is excellent, and I'm glad, but someone is still going to tell us how to manage our health. I haven't forgotten RFK's wearables for all within four years. Or Elon's dream of chipping everyone. Or Thiel's Palantier wanting to snoop around in my thoughts, for the safety of democracy.
I admire your optimism and share it, but only because world events seem to be laser pointed toward the only truly competent Person, who can really run the show, and is on the way. And that's what really excites me.
I think the BOP is meant to do the narrow but important work that the UN was intended for but didn’t do because it was adulterated. Trump did it all himself in just one year without any of their help, the way it was SUPPOSED to be done in the first place. So making the BOP is an attempt to bottle his approach and get it right, because they will never let him head the UN to correct all that is wrong with that organization. I bet they are setting up guardrails and standards that prevent the same adulteration from happening, so long as he is the head. But once he passes on from this life? Yeah, it becomes another organization that can be sabotaged.
Speaking of Carney and (confession by projection) bullying, a Canadian reporter was out just yesterday at the Australian Open Tennis tourney creating struggle sessions for American athletes with the same repetitive demand. He failed so badly, it was comical: https://aynsrants.substack.com/p/athlete-struggle-sessions-are-so
Has anyone else or @Jeff had your algorithm feed you the content by the channel called Promethean Action ? Their framing seems quite useful. Curious to hear what you think.
A good friend turned me onto them last year and I have shared some of their weekly videos here. Jeff has shared some as well. Their Youtube channel is really growing.
The corruption in the entire law and justice system in Minnesota is irredeemably, criminally corrupt. I remember my history books about towns, entire territories in the old west being similarly irredeemably, criminally corrupt. And yet the federal government found a way to bring law and order to those jurisdictions that had fallen into comprehensive criminality. Even if cases can be brought to trial in a stacked deck justice system juries are nullifying the law when overwhelming evidence of guilt in assaults and attempted murder of federal officials has occurred; it cannot be fixed from within.
So I asked my LLM about how the wild west was tamed, using the context of US Marshals encountering corrupt/criminal local officials there. Here's the chat, maybe Jeff, others can weigh in on if/how this same strategy can be employed in the criminal-run insurrectionist states:
"FF: When corrupt/criminal local authorities conspire to deprive citizens of their rights in local jurisdictional issues like common criminal acts, did deprivation of rights become a federal matter they could arrest and charge local authorities with?
LLM: Yes, when corrupt or criminal local authorities conspire to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights—even in local jurisdictional matters—those acts become federal crimes under 18 U.S.C. § 242, which criminalizes the willful deprivation of rights under color of law.
This statute allows federal prosecution of state and local officials, including police, judges, and sheriffs, who misuse their authority to violate federally protected rights, such as due process, equal protection, or freedom from unreasonable seizure. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) can investigate and charge such officials, and U.S. Marshals may assist in their arrest, especially when local systems are compromised.
Key points:
"Under color of law" means the official is acting with perceived governmental authority, even if their conduct is illegal.
The violation must be willful—the official must knowingly violate a clearly established right.
Examples include false arrest, excessive force, evidence fabrication, or racially motivated violence.
Landmark cases like Screws v. United States (1945) affirmed federal jurisdiction over local law enforcement who violate civil rights.
Additionally, statutes like the Hobbs Act (extortion by officials), RICO, and mail/wire fraud laws are used to prosecute corrupt local regimes, especially when federal funds or interstate activity are involved.
Thus, while marshals couldn’t intervene in routine local crimes, they—and other federal agencies—could act when systemic corruption violated constitutional rights, effectively federalizing the response.
18 U.S.C. § 242
federal prosecution of corrupt local officials civil rights
FF: If the local authorities are criminal/corrupt are federal officials able to change the venue to other jurisdictions outside where the deprivation of rights occurred?
LLM: Yes, federal officials could change venue to jurisdictions outside where the deprivation of rights occurred, especially when local authorities were corrupt or compromised.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 3237(a) and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 21, federal courts may transfer criminal cases to another district for the convenience of parties and witnesses or in the interest of justice. This allows prosecutors to move civil rights or corruption cases away from jurisdictions where local courts, law enforcement, or juries might be influenced by corrupt officials.
Additionally, laws like the Public Corruption Prosecution Improvements Act allow venue in any district where an act in furtherance of the crime occurred, enabling federal prosecutors to choose neutral or more favorable jurisdictions. This is critical when local systems are complicit—ensuring fair trials and effective enforcement of federal law."
Then you have WA state wanting to make an unelected board to replace elected sheriffs with a person who has the same “understanding and beliefs” as the governing party of the state. ie Ferguson and buddies
And along with that, legislation has been proposed barring anyone hired by ICE after January 20, 2025 from ever being hired by any law enforcement agency in Washington state. According to the insane leftist (but I repeat myself) proposing this bill, anyone trained during the 2nd Trump administration is not trustworthy.
We should adopt that page from their book. Anyone trained during the Obama/Biden administrations are not trustworthy. Anywhere. We must go on offense, learn from our adversaries. Defense doesn't score points. We're always on defense. Happy to only give up field goals instead of touchdowns.
Especially since a jury in Chicago just acquitted (is that the right word) the guy who placed a $10,000 hit on Greg Bovino, ruling that there was insufficient evidence BECAUSE he only had $20 in his bank account. 🤨🤨🤦🏼♀️
There was sufficient evidence of the crime charged, but a jury threw it out because he couldn’t afford to pay. When is the last time a cartel pays its cronies with bank deposits? When do criminals deposit a large sum of cash? When do we assume a crime will ALWAYS use a bank account? And inciting violence is a real crime - people who may have acted on his offer didn’t know whether or not he had a bank account with enough funds in it to pay them. The incitement is the crime.
But the jury threw out the case on insufficient evidence. Guilt was determined by available bank funds??? This is Gotham City logic. Chicago is a city that cannot be trusted with a jury if their citizens if this can happen in smaller cases. You KNOW it’s happening worse in the bigger ones.
Interestingly, I was rejected and sent home the four times I was called to jury duty over the past 15 years. They are never going to allow good, common sense citizens on their juries in this Godforsaken place.
I’d honestly consider staying if there were any chance we could cut Chicago from our state - let it be its own little NJ sized state. But we have been taxed to death and can’t stay much longer. Hubby retires in a few years and we can’t leave until then, so my calculations show we will lose another $70,000 over the next four years due to unfair taxation, and that’s calculated AFTER accounting for new taxes elsewhere after moving.
I believe it is so when they get accused of threats against someone it will be standing that it’s hard to prove. I also have never been selected for jury duty. The last time I had to fill out a 25 page questionnaire online and I knew then they would toss me off the list. Especially after one entire page that was pick your gender. The next page was to pick my sexual preference. And I’m not joking! I tried not to even read the words, but I didn’t know them anyway 😖
What kills me is that something like sex, which is well rooted in biology and very either/or, is open to interpretation and considered a variable. But something like race, culture and ethnicity, which leaves a lot of wriggle room for many people, is considered a sacrosanct and immutable biological characteristic. That's why people who are of 90% European ancestry and 10% African ancestry are considered and consider themselves black. Likewise people with teeny amounts of NA ancestry.
And I absolutely believe all this is being studied and prepared by the relevant authorities in the Trump administration as well as plans for dealing with the fiery pushback.
I have also thought of the lawless west and how it was tamed. It was a far smaller and less complex matter of course.
We’re talking millions of diverse groups with international criminal backing to fight back with chaotic mobs and legal entanglements.
In the meantime, we have to fight the ‘no arrests, where are the arrests’ narrative of the Left. They see this as major way to discourage and divide MAGA, put Demonrats back in power, and end all the good progress we’ve made.
So you've given up hope (understandable for some), but you want to bring down as many other people as you can into your pit of despair. That makes you either a fool or a FUD farming troll....
I would like to think that people can think for themselves and make their own decisions and judgements while I exercise my free speech which apparently you do not like.
Yes I would have had more respect for Anne had her reply given thoughtful, counter logic to your own.
I found your post fascinating, and I’m on the fence with this issue. On one hand you could argue that when a federal government is running away wildly down the tracks and no way to stop it in a timely manner before they destroy our country that a convention of the states is the tool to use, IF those wielding the convention are upright and honest and among those who have faithfully followed the current constitution as it is written. Being that less than 20% of Congress can be credited with that, it could be argued that trying to correct it in the ways you recommend will not work as it is too far gone and you will never get the necessary amendments/corrections/guardrails passed. Therefore our country continues to head at high speed into destruction. Yet I see the dangers of a convention of states if the same evil people that pressed the accelerator in the first place are controlling it.
I’m a pretty good specimen of the average American out here that understands basics but in no way am I as educated in the constitution as you are, so many of us are going to see it the way I am and be on the fence.
So that means I really appreciate your post, as hard as it is to wrap my head around it. Anne’s response is the typical, insult-flinging debate that only showcases her own ignorance and isn’t worthy of any respect.
Thing is, I understand her point. I'm on the fence about using LLM's. I know they are the tools/weapons of our oppressors, part of the infrastructure that is intended to be our invisible prison. And any use of it makes the prison walls stronger. I get that. And appreciate where she's coming from. But it was tossed out there as a barb, not as a point of information, explanation for other readers to understand the peril her comment was meant to convey. The insult-flinging has become so reflexive.
And reviewing her comment I believe it was directed at my previous comment about following the precedent of circumventing corrupt, criminal local governments, police and courts, juries. Yes, I could've taken the LLM response and narrowed it down into my own words. I was lazy this morning and trying to get in early on the C&C comment threads, they fill up quickly and later comments end up in the nosebleed seats.
And thank you for giving my comment about Convention of the States a read and deeper thought. That is what an educated populace is supposed to do. The populace that is needed to preserve and protect the individual rights and liberties the nation was created to protect. The lack of education or deep thought is why any politician today can get away with saying, "the warmth of collectivism." When that warm, collectivist open hand is clenched into a fist it becomes icy cold.
Gee whiz, Juju, your comment seems to be slinging at me. You can see that I did not mean to be a prick, if you revisit the comment to see what I replied to Freedom Fox.
I did not mean to be a prick about it. It was the second time I had seen you make a lengthy post based on an LLM. I am leery about AI in general and its possible detrimental effects on human thought.
Why....is there fault in it somewhere that you wanted to point out? This is exactly the sort of thing that AI excels at....digging up statutes and citing landmark cases, where no "imagineering" takes place.
You make a good point if that is the extent of AI’s function. I recall that there have been news reports of AI going rogue, such as citing nonexistent legal cases. I am leery.
The whole show is to populate the new Israeli country of Somali land, which no one recognizes. They did the same to the Jews in Iran to get them to move to Israel. Now they are rounding them up in Maine.
The wife, an ardent Leftist, has for years complained that Europe has universal healthcare and 6-month paid maternity leave, and why can't we? For the longest time, I had no answer. Europe clearly wasn't as productive as America; where did all that wealth come from that enabled such things?
Comes now one Donald J Trump who sayeth: the Marshall Plan is now expired. The era of Europe tariffing U.S. goods while enjoying tariff-free access to the U.S. market has ended. Get out your checkbooks.
I always knew the Marshall Plan was a device for rebuilding Europe's war-torn infrastructure; I didn't know it was still in daily use.
Now it is no longer in daily use, and Europe's all-in dalliance with Climate Mania has left them in a position where they are unable, because of it, to survive without the benefits of an eternal Marshall Plan. They're looking into the abyss and not enjoying the view. Within a very short time, 30-hour weeks will have to become 40- and 45-hour weeks, 6-month paid maternity leaves will become 6-week unpaid leaves, and universal healthcare is going to become slightly (or startlingly) more expensive than Europeans are accustomed to.
Welcome to the party, pals. Mene mene tekel upharsin.
Allow me to explain European healthcare. I lived there for 10 years. People died waiting six months for a heart valve replacement or a stent. People who could afford it traveled to Spain or elsewhere to get medical care and paid out of pocket. There is no different list for people who are criminals and/or on the dole for life and people who have worked hard and paid into the system their entire lives. It is something you do not want.
It's time to move the UN out of New York and turn the building into a residence for homeless vets, estimated at 150,000. They could have their own rooms, laundries, cafeterias, medical treatment, including healthcare. There could be stores where they could purchase food, clothes, and other necessities.
In 2016 (the last year numbers were available), United Nations diplomats owed New York City over $16 million in unpaid parking tickets. It is probably double that, and it is time for NYC to collect.
So angry about it. They hold hostage the things in the bill Trump needs by adding stuff neither he nor us would ever approve of. If you vote for it you’re accused of being a Democrat, of you vote against it you’re accused of not supporting Trump. I’m so sick of how they do bills!
This is where things get sticky for Jeff’s characterization. People are beginning to ask: ARE they ours? Or are they the adversary’s, trying to undo and run out the clock on the purely executive, quickly-reversible wins Jeff describes?
In which case, if failure is the end point anyway, there’s a valid argument to remove the enemy agents, not fear short-term failure, and emerge with a force that will actually fight. My only caution is that there is no magic, and you’d need a plan to elect and then support that force. Or one that breaks the game board utterly, of course, something that failing Republics tend to attract.
“These pro-killswitch, pro-pork Republicans might be squishes, but they are our squishes.”
This is a most excellent year to remove democrats from the house and senate… dem support for all things anti American should bite them in the a$$. For the first time in a long time ohio s northern most congressional district has a certified Republican running against Marcy, this is a fight republicans can win.
Trump, et al very specifically invited the world to join us. It's America first here, and it should be "Germany First" in Germany, not "EU First" or "NATO First". Every country needs to think primarily of their people, prosperity, and what level of chaos they wish to endure. Trump will go down in history for his "Grey Champion" role in ushering in the climax of the fourth turning - not only here, but he is reshaping the globe. Seriously, if you have not read the fourth turning, you need to get it and read it. It all makes perfect sense in the context of the hypothesis.
Awesome news on arresting the mentally deranged circus freaks! Sure, it’s low hanging fruit (more like rotten ground fruit), but I’ll take it. Now…I….AM…BEGGING….YOU: Make an example of these invasive snot weasels. A stern warning, $500 fine, and participation in anger management class is not a deterrent. These quasi-human rabble are a plague and menace to civilized society.
On a somewhat related note: It's a little chilly this morning in NE Florida, so I decided to forgo anything resembling enjoyment and stay inside to finish up my taxes. Turns out I owe Ilhan Omar $978.
On a somewhat humorous note the thunderous BLM rioter that was arrested here in Minny was handcuffed with TWO pairs of handcuffs. The tire around her abundant belly impeded the process. Today the big news is about the lie that ICE detained a five year old. Today is also the day of solidarity against ICE where many stores are closed. Too bad it was -21 degrees with -42 degrees windchill. Nobody is outside. I love the irony. Here is the truth about the 5 year old: https://alphanews.org/left-wingers-are-trying-to-push-an-anti-ice-narrative-here-are-the-facts-they-dont-want-you-to-know/
But of course. These scumbags will twist any situation into something disgustingly opportunistic in an attempt to support their cockamamie ill-conceived narratives. Vile, filthy creatures….the whole socially maladjusted lot of them.
I reposted something on Facebook talking about the totalitarian shutdowns in CA during the plandemic. The post included photos of people being arrested on the beach for paddle boarding, sitting out in the sand with their immediate family with no one around, etc. And I said something like, “This is the kind of civic disobedience I support.”
One of my swim, TDS friends jumped on and went on about how that was a different situation since so many people were dying in the hospitals and nobody knew what to do, blah, blah, blah. This same friend broke the stay-at-home orders and swam in the ocean. We were desperate. Our public pools were closed, and everyone, including TDS, liberal, white woman, thought the order to stay out of the ocean and off the beaches was dumb.
I haven’t responded to her yet because, well, she’s cracked. I am tempted to ask her if she supported Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden when they deported the illegals and whether she thought they were kinds for doing it.
Short answer: Fear sells and there are buyers aplenty. Let's not even get into the surety of the effects of propaganda on malleable minds. It’s a cakewalk for the Controllers.
Please do respond to her. (Another AWFL I presume). Might ask her a simple question: If the Anti-ICE protesters were MAGA, would she support their position?
Two pairs of handcuffs! I hadn’t heard that. 😂🤣😂
https://x.com/me41188798/status/2014463778663104849?s=12
The photo of her in today's NBC nightly news, showed a thin person photo, much younger, much in the same way they show Renae Good with long hair from years ago.
The spin goes on indefinitely.
Rotund arrested persons usually require 2 pair of cuffs!
I guess I never really thought about it before 🤷🏻♀️
I did not know we were neighbors. Well done. She accepts cash, I hear.
“Accepts cash”…….Like all other prostitutes……..
Ewww… that’s one ugly prostitute! 🤮
And what makes you think any prostitute is beautiful? Being a 'sex worker' has to be one of the ugliest and soul-destroying 'occupations' of all time!!
Amen… 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
“Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious.”
1 Peter 3:3-4 ESV
https://bible.com/bible/59/1pe.3.3-4.ESV
We all have known women and men who are beautiful outwardly, but they are ugly in the heart… it’s definitely not a good look! 😬
Wondrous rebuttal - nothing like Holy Writ to confound the 'foolish' comments, God Bless America - danke schoen!
Just look at Kamala....
But there is a reason why it is the oldest profession in the world....
Not only accepts it, but feels strongly that she is ENTITLED to it.

If you paid Omar directly in cash, would you get a discount?
On the celebratory WINNING theme, wisely advised, lets have a cursory review shall we?

*-US borders secure
*-Venezuela drug trafficing of Fentanyl vastly curtailed, Maduro trying to broken deal with DJT
*US out of the WHO, for the second time

I think you can take all the "exposed" items off the list until someone is held accountable. Exposed doesn't mean much these days.
Historically, the exposed and unexposed will run out the clock until the office changes parties, the new party brushes the case under the rug, and away it goes.
If the following party comes back, and wants to dig through the leftover evidence, they're told to worry about newer, bigger problems. It's way in the past, and there's nothing we can do about it now!
Exactly. None of these slime balls are behind bars. This is a joke. Bondi is a joke. It's all a circus.

suggesting outcomes highly undesirable is foolish
Not suggestions. Historical reality.

Medical Update:
Definitive diagnosis of the vessel malformation and that it is the kind that is safer to repair. Other doctors have waffled on the exact type. My doctor was very satisfied with the diagnostic and believes he can be successful with the embolization. I will come back whenever I’m up to doing this again, maybe February and not coinciding with a record snowstorm. As always, thank you for praying for me and the medical team. I told my doc that lots of people had been praying for him.
Don't be gone too long Janice as we need your inspiration through scripture. The Angels and the Almighty will protect you and guide your doctor's hands. God knows what you mean to all of us and He will heal you quickly. Stay safe and warm and Godspeed to you.
How that blessed me! I hope not to miss a beat. Praise the Lord for His tender care.
Stay safe during the storm. Yes, good also to pray for the doctors who do the work.
God has graciously pushed out its arrival, giving us time to drive east where it hits later! Not that we’re the only ones affected, but it sure seems like a gift from Him! Very grateful.
Praise the Lord! Continuing to pray for your medical situation!
Continued prayers for you!
Continued prayers for you, Janice, and thank you for the update!
God bless you, Janet. And yes there will be prayers going up for you and your medical team. 🙏
Heal fast and safely. Prayers for all involved.
I was going to find out why you were 'absent', dearest sister in faith--SO GLAD I read this comment from you.
Will hold your before JEHOVAH JIREH for His healing power to 'consume' the maladies afflicting you!!
HE IS ABLE!!
Praying for you, your family, the doctors and all medical teams 🙏🏻
Janice, so glad for your good news! Will keep praying for the resolution to all of this.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Thank you!
I just said a prayer for you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💖
Thank you.
Ahh great news. Praise God!!! And Lord, anchor deep into Janice’s docs heart so he continues to strive to model You, the Great Physician. We are so thankful Jesus.

Ohhh… Abiding Dude… praying for you as well and all who are skeptical just like you… i’m sure you’ll cuss at me or something, but that’s OK… May you find the Lord and may HE give you the time to come to know HIM… 🙏🏽✝️🙏🏽

The Marxist Theory
If you want to get rid of the American Constitution with its Bill of Rights you have to first demonize white Americans and 2nd flood blue state major cities with non English speaking, non white illegal aliens.
Who wrote the Declaration of Independence, who wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights? White men. When millions of 3rd world illegal immigrants flood into cities, do they understand the importance of these documents and the connection they have to America? No. One thing I’m sure of they know where the checks come from, you can bet on that.
When we look back at the Biden/Obama presidency, Biden’s biggest accomplishment, the thing that will go down in history books, was him bringing 15 million illegal aliens into America, most of them put into major blue cities, in blocks, so they will not assimilate. If these people that have been placed into these cities do not learn the common language, there will be no common community, without a common community there will be fractures in the community and constant conflict.
In Lewiston Maine they had a vote for city council. Dozens of non speaking Somalis showed up. There was a Democrat operative translator there basically telling these non English speaking people who to vote for. It was so discriminatory against white native American citizens, the non English speaking Somalis got 6 minutes to speak while the American citizen only got 3 minutes to speak. It was so obvious, as the non native people spoke the interpreter kept repeating the names of the 2 Somali candidates, they were being told who to vote for. The 2 Somali candidates were swept into office.
This is the perfect example of in your face Democrat replacement theory, and honestly a perfect reason why these sanctuary states are fighting so hard to protect these illegal aliens. It’s all about power, control and the subjugation of the American citizen. Anyone that spoke out was called a racist, of coarse.
You add to that the billions of stolen tax payer dollars flooding into these states by the same fraudulent Somali child daycare and medical companies and you have governors like Janet Mills and Tampon Tim calling for insurrection. It’s truly the democrats new confederacy.
One thing for sure no country can survive hundreds of billions of dollars each year being stolen. Suitcases of cash being taken out of America through our airports. Money taken from deserving Americans that need help, Medicaid money, the American poor. Stealing from American families and American kids in need. Stealing from our veterans. Even a country as great as America cannot sustain this blatant treason and theft. We need a Republican attorney general like handcuffs and shackles, Merrick Garland. J.Goodrich
Cloward-piven is the nice way to put what is occurring: flood a nation with unskilled people, drown the courts and justice system with endless due process claims, swamp the social safety nets and povery programs with handouts bankrupting the government, politocize immigration, make it an emtional issue to overwhelm reason and logic, connect people's self-worth to defending their arguments for it.
The country collapses in on itself. The nation falls and thd only shots fired are between those for and agaist. All by design:

I STRONGLY oppose any Convention of States as proposed by Gov. DeSantis, and so should everybody reading this Stack. Jeff's celebration of the effort for balanced budget amendment consideration is misguided (sorry, Jeff).
The history of using a convention of states does not bode well for what will happen afterwards. The Articles of Confederation was the first US 'constitution' adopted following the Declaration of Independence. They enshrined individual liberty, freedom, limited federal government and constrained the worst of the ruling, monied interest's power much more comprehensively than the US Constitution that was adopted a decade later after the Revolution was successful.
The successor US Constitution was passed at a Convention of the States that was called for a completely different purpose than to rewrite the Articles of Confederation. As the heady moments of ideas of freedom and liberty faded after victory, the old monied powers determined to regain their status and authority used the opening of the Convention of the States to remake the governance of United States to one they were more familiar with and could exercise their control, dominion over moreso than the Articles allowed. Even the first Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Jay, reaffirmed the silent behind-the-scenes power of the few over the many when he wrote, "Those who own a nation ought to govern it" under the US Constitution. Words that were not possible to say under the Articles.
As dreamy as the idea of a Convention of the States may sound it opens up the ENTIRE US Constitution to amendment, even complete replacement. And if you have any notions that We The People will have a greater voice in shaping that than we have in fixing the current system, governing contract with The People, who exactly do you imagine will be doing the appointing of delegates to said Convention, much less be the delegates to said Convention?
The same damn people who won't govern today following the US Constitution! And we're supposed to trust them to stay in their lane - when NOTHING under rules for Conventions of the States prevents them from doing otherwise? And we're supposed to trust that any official rewriting of the Constitution will favor our freedom and liberty? Today? In this day and age? Who, pray tell, are these delegates to be deemed acceptable by those in power today making their appointments going to be?!?!?!
The entire notion is a head fake, an attempt to revise the Constitution post-hoc to make their abuses and fundamental transformation of it...constitutional!!! Takes a whole lot of hopium, delirium and foolish insanity to believe it could be any other way, as if those selected delegate voices would be representative of We, The People, and not the Marxist/Fascist/Oligarchical hordes!
The US Constitution has been linguistically reimagined and rewritten into an artificial facsimile of the original. Congressional laws, bureaucratic regulations and case laws have fundamentally transformed it into something unrecognizable to the writers of the US Constitution, much less the Articles of Confederation. The US Constitution today is to the US Constitution when written as Wild Cherry flavor is to natural Cherry flavor. As Artificial Grape is to real Grape. Merely "inspired by" the original. As difficult as returning the US Constitution to its original meaning seems, it is infinitely more doable and preferable to ANY document that could possibly come out of a Convention of the States. DeSantis and those who have been working this issue for several decades are peddling snake oil, bait-and-switch. We mustn't fall for it.
Thank you Freedom Fox for your post! I have been fighting against the push for Convention of States for years. There are many groups in the wings waiting for this opportunity to install their versions of the Constitution. Our problem is that we are NOT following our current Constitution. If we were, we would not have the issues we are facing now! I have seen the version of the Second Amendment proposed by Mark Meckler’s group. They claim Clarification Clauses” are very much on the agenda. Nothing needs to be clarified in the Second Amendment!
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
That’s pretty clear. Yet Meckler’s group feels they need to clarify things. Our founders were much smarter than we the people are now. The arrogance to think that a document that has stood for 250 years needs to be clarified is insulting.
This article talks about the revisions Meckler’s group have made to their version of the Constitution. Please take the time to read it and understand that this push for a Convention of States is not in the people’s best interests. And the fact that Gov DeSantis is pushing other states for it is distressing.

What about the 10th Amendment and even the 14th? Those are either ignored or completely misinterpreted. They do whatever they want.
And you know damn well that they would NOT pass a Bill of Rights today.
Mrs. RW
Damn straight! They are chomping at the bit, hoping we are that stupid and easily manipulated to cheer on our own disempowerment!
And to show I am open to critique of my comment I asked my LLM to review and analyze my rant. Here is the LLM response. TL/DR while simplistic and emotionally charged, it is accurate:
"Analysis of the Social Media Rant
The rant presents a passionate and historically grounded opposition to a Convention of States, particularly as promoted by Gov. Ron DeSantis in support of a balanced budget amendment. It raises valid constitutional concerns, though some historical claims require clarification.
Core Arguments and Validity
The central argument warns that a Convention of States could lead to a "runaway convention," citing the 1787 Constitutional Convention as precedent—where delegates convened to amend the Articles of Confederation but instead drafted an entirely new Constitution. This concern is well-documented and echoed by legal scholars and critics across the political spectrum. The 1787 convention did exceed its mandate, and Article V of the Constitution contains no explicit procedural limits on scope, delegate selection, or rules of engagement, creating genuine uncertainty.
Historical Accuracy
The claim that the Articles of Confederation "enshrined individual liberty, freedom, limited federal government" more comprehensively than the Constitution is partially accurate but oversimplified. While the Articles created a weak central government, they also led to economic instability, lack of national defense, and interstate conflicts—problems the Constitution was designed to solve. The rant idealizes the Articles without acknowledging their practical failures.
The quote attributed to John Jay—“Those who own a nation ought to govern it”—is authentic and reflects his belief in governance by property owners. It appears in biographical sources and letters, aligning with the views of many Founders who linked property ownership with responsible governance. However, this view was contested even at the time and does not represent a universal constitutional principle.
Delegate Selection and Democratic Legitimacy
The rant questions who would appoint delegates and whether they would represent "We The People." This is a legitimate concern: there is no constitutional guidance on delegate selection. States may choose them via legislatures, special elections, or other methods, but Congress may also assert authority. Legal scholars note this ambiguity creates risk of elite capture, as the rant suggests.
Risk of Constitutional Overhaul
The fear that a convention could rewrite or replace the entire Constitution is constitutionally plausible. While proponents argue states can limit the convention’s scope through application language, there is no legal consensus that such limits would be enforceable. The ratification requirement (38 states) acts as a final check, but the process remains untested and unpredictable.
Conclusion
The rant is emotionally charged but substantively grounded in real constitutional risks. While it leans toward alarmism, its core warnings—about elite control, historical precedent, and the danger of an open-ended convention—are shared by serious legal and political analysts. The opposition to DeSantis’s push is not mere partisanship but reflects a broader conservative and libertarian debate about constitutional reform strategies.
For those concerned about federal overreach, the rant correctly highlights that restoring original constitutional meaning through judicial and legislative means may be less risky than convening a convention with unknown outcomes."
An interesting LLM response. First observation is that the LLM exhibits a presuppositional bias towards "democracy". So it's reasoning from what I view as a flawed basis. The 17th Amendment was the fatal blow to the constitutional republic.
Second, it notes that a "weak" central government "led to economic instability, lack of national defense, and interstate conflicts" which it calls "practical failures". It presupposes that a strong central government is necessary for society. Another flawed presupposition that dictates it's conclusions.
The original constitutional idea was a compact among the Separate Sovereign States of America. The 17th Amendment divested the formerly Sovereign States of any power to control the Fed Gov't and resulted in the Fed Gov't becoming supreme. At that point, the idea of the a true American republic was destroyed. The States no longer had any say in how the compact with each other was suppose to function. The Federal Government was whatever the Fed Gov't says it is as decided at the Fed level by the three branches of gov't without any control by the formerly sovereign states.
What the LLM describes as practical failures were really the work of sovereign states working out how the mechanics of their compact would be achieved. These would be decided through negotiation and the give-and--take of coming to agreements between the sovereign states. Yes, that may have precluded the Fed Gov't from becoming the super power it is today and limited the American republic to a "smaller" role in world affairs. But I ask you, would that have necessarily been a bad thing in light of the past 200 years? I think not.
But the course of governments and empires are nothing new and the course we have charted is very similar to dozens of empires that have risen and fallen over the millennia. It seems pretty much inevitable. Our responsibility is the morality that our culture exhibits and that morality has been lacking for a long long time.
Bingo. I picked up on those same exact LLM phrases. What it deemed "simplistic" was more accurate than the word salad and rationalization it came up with to try to take the sting out of my characterization.
LOL... yes. And few there are here that understand this.
I agree FF. Just make Congress do their jobs and balance the budget just like states have to do.
Great point Elaine. $64K Question: How?
So true Robert. I guess we have to continually send messages via X. I do not want a convention of the states.
There is extreme risk in holding a Convention of States. Individual Amendment is THE ONLY ROUTE!
I agree. We do NOT want a Convention of States! Yes, we need a balanced budget amendment but not through opening a COS. The leftist communists never play by the rules. Look at all the corruption exposed in the past year which I am sure is only the tip of the iceberg. The Clintons were pushing for a COS back in the 90's. Are there others out there old enough to remember?!
One other thought on the COS being proposed by DeSantis. He is backed by the Sea Island group, namely the Republicans responsible for keeping Obama care, stabbing Trump in the back and a whole host of other ills that are not being corrected by this other wing of the Uniparty. I love our host on this stack, but he appears blind to the fact that while the democrats want to enslave us, it is the Republicans who will shoot us in the ear while telling us they care about us. See John McCain, et al, may he continue to burn in hell.
The only amendment needed is term limits for congress.
I hear you. But even that isn't a panacea. Politicians are actors, playing the roll of statesmen. Washington, DC is Hollywood for ugly people.
Who are the producers, the directors of the show? Who becomes their hands in DC under term limits?
Lobbyists and bureaucrats. The staff that serve whoever is cast as term-limited lawmaker. The power of the producers and directors, already shared by lobbyists and bureaucrats becomes greater. That's the only thing that a term-limit amendment would accomplish, beyond the faster turnover of certain personalities and quirks among the actors, beneficial or bothersome.
Maybe that is better some will argue? For some it would be, the bothersome personalities exiting the stage sooner. But it's a tradeoff, as the beneficial personalities also subject to the same hook.
The system, the growth and corruption of centralized power that has created it. That is the problem. And as long as Congress has its hand in virtually every single aspect of human existence, from the machine you use to mow your lawn, the coloring agent you put in your hair, the herbs you choose to benefit your health, the fee you charge to buy/sell property, the amount you are allowed to keep from the money you earn, every single aspect of your life has a lobbyist and industry "experts," regulators in DC, and your state capitol. And it's for that very reason that there are so many producers and directors exacting their will to their own favor in our governance.
Decentralized authority, limited government. There was a reason the nation's founders created a limited government system, because where power aggregates, centralizes is where corruption and tyranny spring forth from. Go ahead, pass term limits. But the new boss will be the same as the old boss. You just won't have the face and name to yell at on the TV for why your life is under attack. The boss simply becomes nameless and faceless. Kind of like how it is now.
What is to prevent us adopting an amendment requiring a balanced budget?
Nothing. That is preferable. That is the built-in revise and edit feature of the US Constitution. That, tragically, has been short-circuited by impatient and intolerant politicians and politicians in Black Robes who find the challenge of amending it too daunting an impediment to getting their way without the consent of a supermajority of the people. So they reinterpret and reimagine, redefine what the constitution says with clever linguistics. To make Cherry into Wild Cherry and tell everyone its the same flavor.
I was where you are... I may still be. But I do like the idea of Pressing Congress to not wait for a Convention and to Act. Otherwise maybe spend some of those words on what the alternative solutions are to $40 Trillion in Debt?
More of the same is Not a solution. Trump can take action on all kinds of things we agree with to set us on the right path; but if that yields zero accountability and is so distasteful to the masses that they just make a Weekend At Bernie's Dead Joe Biden (or more likely some equivalent) President again (so they can have More of the Same); there will be be no getting out of it (kinda dubious if there is in any event - sorry to sound pessimistic). But the alternatives seem to be increased debt and civil war.
It's been great, I want more of the same too; but it's unrealistic. Basic solutions seem like: People realizing Govt. should serve our limited self interests of Law & Order, International Security; but NOT everything you want to vote for yourself. If that basic agreement could be reached, then we can move to restoring the constitution; to function as it should - maybe that could be done as simply as a Supreme Court decision modifying the extent to which the Federal Govt. utilizes the interstate commerce clause to regulate every aspect of our lives. In any event - Best wishes!.
I strongly disagree. COS is extremely difficult to resolve issues but it is a balance of power against the federal government. It would be awesome if it succeeds. Personally I think the amendment should include that the government can not give liability protection to anyone or industry (which takes away the people’s right to use the judiciary) and that no product including medical can be mandated.
The ideal of a COS is the appeal. The practical application, where theory meets up with real world is where it fails. Who become the delegates? Who? What selection process gives anyone confidence the same elitist authoritarians that are co-participants, beneficiaries of the corrupt anti-Constitutional system won't become or appoint the delegates? What selection process do you believe would be immune to the same selection process for our elected/appointed officials? Elections? Who counts the votes?
What's more likely, a COS where the supermajority of delegates are aligned with health rights, RFK Jr? Or medical tyranny, Anthony Fauci? Just look at Congress to know the answer. That's who, the $ame exact type of per$on with the $ame exact belief$ and value$. We'll end up with the right to forcibly inject mandated "health" interventions" into the "hesitant." Taking away any ambiguity. And any religious exemptions. That's what a COS will do under the current authorities who would be choosing the delegates to it. Real world. Not hoped for world.
Overcome that real world obstacle with something more than fingers crossed and prayers and COS becomes a more viable path. I don't see how that glaring deficiency can be overcome if we can't even overcome entrenched obstacles to the best of Trump's agenda within the GOP that could survive another autopen.
Well said.
Hear Hear Freedom Fox! Thank you for writing this incisively accurate and biting comment! Your reasoning is sound and historically spot on! I have previously tried to point out the deception of the Convention of States. The centralization of power in the new Constitution provided the fertile ground upon which Lincoln could construct his tyranny against the Several Independent States that eventually blossomed into the full blown oligarchical system we have today. The alarm was raised by the patriot Patrick Henry who said, "I smell a rat in Philadelphia", when he was asked to attend the Convention and thus refused to attend George Washington's convention.

"Strong regions In the second scenario, larger shares of wealth accumulate in the south and east, shifting power to regional hegemons that consolidate spheres of influence challenging sovereign states as the principal unit of global order. Mutual respect for the new regional hegemons’ interests actually alleviates the tensions that had started to grow in the early decades of the 21st century in contested areas such as Eastern Europe, the Middle East and the Western Pacific. Governments make increasingly effective use of surveillance and high-tech media systems to control their citizens with manufactured historical narratives and exaggerated projections of external threats, emphasizing themes of ethnic or religious difference. New regional institutions are set up that fragment what was once global trade and the global commons (e.g. establishing regional internets). As these come to dominate international relations, the old UN and Bretton Woods institutions of global governance wither away. In parallel, efforts to control global warming are dropped in favour of unilateral measures to adapt to the changes. There are efficiency losses in the retreat from globalization, but authoritarian elites mostly convince their people that this is an acceptable price to pay for stability. Companies lose their independence as inter-regional trade is limited and they come increasingly under the informal control of the new regional governance institutions."

Since the courts and the laws don't follow the original Constitutional principles or the Bill of Rights, why would you be concerned that they are doing this to change it for the bad? They just ignore the parts they don't like currently.
The Matrix had a scene where Agent Smith is interrogating Morpheus to find out where Zion is so he can eradicate the human resistance. He described his hatred for humanity, the virus that infected the planet, that spread uncontrollably, polluted it, exhausted its resources, that needed to be exterminated. He wanted out of it. Imagining what came after human resistance was eliminated his existence would improve.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rit45cxTPpo
We know, have seen, heard many people in positions of power have similar ideas and thoughts about us. The Malthusian ideas of overpopulation, need to cull it down to a much smaller, manageable, sustainable level that would optimize life for those who remained. A perfectly designed world, an "Earth in Balance" that the managers and engineers atop it could finally attain once the "useless eaters" and disobedient were eliminated. Bill Gates. Yuval Harari, most every person in the highest echelon of society has some version of this narrative going through their head. The ones who were born into great privilege, were selected to attend the most privileged institutions of higher education, the academics, CEO's, clergy, industrialists, politicians, judges, most all in positions of authority have been inculcated with this mindset, that they must make the difficult decisions, unemotional, for a "greater good." The character of the Architect in The Matrix constantly trying to engineer the perfect balance of human existence to sustain the machines without challenging them for power, without resistance.
Agent Smith is the fist of the Architect. But even as the fist, watching his screed against humanity does he see himself as the villain? As evil? His narrative in his "mind" is that he is the hero in the story, his very existence is in service to a greater good.
And so it is for those we see doing horrible things to us, the world. They are on a hero's journey. Serving a greater good. They work to restore the balance of Earth. To protect the planet and all life on it from us, the virus that plagues it. They even rationalize and justify their injuries to us, their democide of us, telling themselves euthanasia, the "soft death" is preferable to war, famine, struggle and strife, loss of other life forms that are more desirable of life than mankind. They view their "cull" of the human herd to be "good stewardship" much as ranchers and environmentalists strive for optimal herd sizes. Too many and things like Chronic Wasting Disease will spread from overpopulation and threaten the entire herd.
Rewriting the Constitution and all of the governing contracts that governments have previously agreed to for their people is necessary to treat humanity as the overpopulated herd they see us as. For our own good. For a greater good. As they define it. Malthusian Utilitarian Ethics. A system of ethics created for the megalomaniacs to sleep well at night while they break a few eggs to make the perfected omelet that exists only in their imagination. The arrogance. The hubris. The permission slip that their system of ethics will give them once the ideas of individual freedom and liberty are stripped from the governing document that constrains them will free their consciences from the shackles they are struggling to break free from. That is what a COS would provide the release from.
Well said. The answer? Psalm 2. Man proposes but God disposes.
Does not explain backing Muslim invaders over native citizens. If overpopulated herd of unwashed human virus is the problem.
In a Machiavellian + Malthusian way it certainly does. The erase-replace of current citizens with understanding and expectation of individual rights, how valuable they are with foreigners who don't share those expectations and values, but do value submission to higher authority, are collectivist by culture, family values serves those purposes. The conflict and civil-discard is also of strategic benefit for those seeking to impose a totalitarian, "perfected" state of human existence. Red ants and black ants can live peacefully side by side...until the terrain they share is shaken up and they savage and destroy each other.
The backing of invaders serves many purposes, creates an obedient mass within the mass, foot soldiers, and results in depopulation when the terrain is shaken. Win-win. From their perspective.
And for those who survive that round of mass culling of the herd, others await. Gates said the ideal population cap is about 500 million. We're what, 8 billion now on the planet? A whole lot of culling awaits.
And for the population that is considered the "winners" by genetic determination, their idealized eugenics, as Malthus was an early eugenicist, will create a mathematical genetically predetermined tier, caste system of society. Take India's system, as applied with English efficiency under colonial rule, but with genetically engineered humans, as our agriculture and livestock is increasingly genetically engineered for purpose.
THAT is their idealized future utopia for humanity. Many who are helping orchestrate are the useful idiots whose genes will never be a part of that penultimate population. Yes, it's all quite insane. When you understand the level of insanity and how they rationalize, justify their decisions that harm fits under that long-term goal the seeming insanity of short term policies like backing Muslim invaders begins to make more sense.
they definitely have this Malthusian megalomaniacal mindset that you describe. Still not sure if its not worth taking a chance to get a balanced budget amendment. That would reduce their power tremendously by limiting their expenditures to what they could take in taxes. Currently, we are shifting the debt of their massive programs to future generations.
And they quit worrying about debt a half-century ago when it all became funny money.
I studied finance in college, what is money. It simply must be easily transferable, nondegradable, and be *believed* by a population to have value that parties transacting agree upon.
In POW camps during WWII cigarettes became the monetary unit that met the criteria. Anything can. Even sea shells. Faith, belief it has value.
Those with the money know this, maintain most of theirs in hard assets. Money can become less valuable than toilet paper the minute faith and belief in its value is gone. And then only hard assets have value. A nation's debt only matters when hard assets are called in to pay it off. Should that moment come specific language in the nation's constitution will be the least of our worries.
Well the problem is that "constitutions" are no longer of any effect. It's all theater for the masses. Regardless of any constitution, the PTB will simply do what they want as there is no longer any accountability or control. We are not going to change that by such efforts.
As I stated elsewhere, the USA is now explicitly an empire and reality is whatever "Caesar" says it is. Jesus recognized this as a subject of the Roman Empire - not unlike the American Empire now - when He said give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's but give unto God that which is God's. Jesus' statement was literally treason because in that law order, Caesar was god and he owned everything. Telling His followers to "give unto God that which is God's" was treason to the Roman state. That's why the Romans crucified Him. They did not care about Jesus' theological dispute with the Jewish leaders. It was His refusal to say all things are subject to Caesar that was the legal basis for His execution.
Not worth a COS. Definitely not with this cast of characters deciding who's at the table. Knowing that we are what's for dinner.
That was quite the essay, but fundamentally flawed as it bases itself primarily on a misunderstanding of the two main protagonists in this story - Trump and Musk. You lump them in with those like Gates and Harari, but they are clearly not working towards the same goals. Musk himself has stated his belief that the world is underpopulated if anything, and in so doing he clearly goes against the grain. If you need proof that Trump is fighting for HIS people, and encouraging all other sovereign nations to do the same, then I don't know what to tell you....continue with your black-pill diet, I suppose.
And if I'm wrong...then there is no hope and we're all screwed. But since we were hurtling towards that awful end until Trump showed up, I can't imagine this churn was ever part of the master plan. And so I continue to look forward to the massive correction clearly underway, and a better future for all the good people of this world.
But hey...you do you.
I went back and read every single comment I made on this thread and can't find a single one that says what you say I said. But hey...you do you.
It's called post-hoc justification. The one thing that constrains these demon ghouls is that they want to be able to think of themselves as the good guys who followed the constitution...as they think it means...or should mean. Rewriting it to fit what they've done gives them the clear conscience that their cognitive dissonance is in a state of disorder over for what they've done.
Do you think Hitler/Stalin/Mao thought of themselves as the villains in the story going through their minds? No tyrant does. They imagine themselves as the leader who met the moment of the most difficult times imaginable, the heroes in their own stories. Everybody does it. We all do in our own lives. These megalomaniacs do exponentially.
Giving themselves permission post-hoc gives them hope that they will not be written about in history as the villains. Since they are among the most vain they are most cognizant of their legacies. They wish to be judged favorably in concert with their own hero's tale that repeats in their minds.
They know the facade of what they've done being lawful, constitutional is fragile as long as the words written do not match the words reinterpreted. That is why we absolutely, positively cannot allow a COS come to pass. Unshackled, unburdened by the original text the horrors and abuses they can heap upon us and future generations has no limits. With the approval of their own conscience they will "break a few eggs to make an omelet." Eggs = Skulls. The whole, "one death is a tragedy, one-million deaths is a statistic" rationalization and justification of utilitarian ethics will rampage with death and subjugation heretofore unfathomable.
That is why I am concerned that they are doing this to change it for the bad.
Let's add a proposed $1.5 trillion military budget that will expedite the collapse.
Speaking of George Soros why is this guy still a free citizen in America? Hard to understand.
add in his son to that as well.
Why are they contributing to global CO2?
exactly.
It's because George Soros pays the right people in Washington. Same as the Chinese, same as the Ukrainian money launderers, same as the Saudis facilitating jihad, same as the billionaire globalists.
The richest suburbs in the United States surround the District of Columbia, a city that produces NOTHING. It exists to extort tax money from the citizenry and bribes from law-breakers and our enemies.
I say it’s because much of our nation is captured by the evil leftists, who hope to take it all. Soros is being protected. Why isn’t Latisha James being prosecuted?
Why wasn’t Don Lemon arrested? Etc., etc., etc. Large swaths of the nation are corrupted from top to bottom. Eventually this belligerent lawlessness will have to be dealt with.
I like this article as description of the depth of the issue.
https://open.substack.com/pub/boriquagato/p/the-chocolate-helmet-of-government?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
A leftist judge refused to sign the indictment order against Don Lemon, of course.
Of course.
Doubtful his real citizenship is in Heaven… by his own choice.
That Merrick Garland comment was a very sad ending to an otherwise reasonable exhortation against the migrant thieves. Please.
I despise Merrick Garland with all my heart, but we need these traitors to be arrested and face justice. I don’t get what the hold up is! The whole Biden administration was full of traitors against America, where are the arrests, big name arrests?
Those who would be arresting them are on the left. Biden could get any conservatives arrested because the lawless law systems were on his side.
This article lays out the truth of the matter.
https://open.substack.com/pub/boriquagato/p/the-chocolate-helmet-of-government?utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web
Saving this country without killing it is going to be a very delicate operation.
The cancer is spread far and wide.
I took it that the last statement was meant to be something like "as ruthless as 'Old Handcuffs-and-Shackles' Merrick Garland was."
Yes David!!
Oooohhhh OK, I see. I thought it was a typo at first, where he meant we needed him in handcuffs and shackles but forgot to type the word “in”. But he meant we need our own “Merrick Garland,” like our own savage pit bull to fight back using the nasty ferociousness Garland used against us. Thanks for the clarification, David👍
I further take it, James, that you might agree that P. Bondi's wearing Merrick Garland's ears on a bracelet to official functions would communicate a wished-for level of "seriousness."
Bondi wasn’t Trumps first choice. I know Matt Gaetz “may” have had problems, but he certainly would have had a much different affect on justice in America. I believe patriots that have been harmed by Biden and Merrick Garlands justice system are the people that should be put in power to expose it. Trump doesn’t have a very good track record of picking attorney generals. I thought long before he was sworn in for his second term his attorney general pick was the most important position in his administration. Now we are a year into this and nothing has happened. The two high profile cases were thrown out and up to now with no appeal. Time is wasting.
"... patriots that have been harmed by Biden and Merrick Garlands justice system are the people that should be put in power to expose it."
I totally agree; you wouldn't have to worry about "motivation," but rather have to keep track that revenge wasn't creeping in. In fact, it appears that the American People decided precisely that in the last election.
What mystifies me most is how the same person can say, "The files are on my desk now." followed by, "There are no files." followed by, "There are so many files that have to be redacted that we are naturally not able to release them in a timely manner as required by law." Even _wanting_ to defend her, as I do, I cannot conjure an explanation that fits. Maybe the AG's duties are more complicated than I supposed.
Wait, what? Explain.
He meant we need our own savage pit bull, as David said “as ruthless as 'Old Handcuffs-and-Shackles' Merrick Garland was." I misread it too. Lol
The Merrick Garland comment gives him credit for being an advocate for aggressive crime control, which he wasn’t. He was a mere puppet for the Obama gang inside the Biden White House…and very unfair. That’s all.
I guess I took it sarcastically
Agree but have to add that I know plenty of European immigrants who also do not understand or respect our Constitution, especially the second amendment but others too (freedom of speech and religion, and states’ rights, for example).
Perfect example of ballot harvesting
Good Morning C&Cers
This is the first day of the rest of your life.
May it be prosperous and happy.
God is great.
My dad used to say that to me every day when he’d drop me off at school, also he’d say “make it your best day”…
❤️👏🏻
Good morning, David
Thank you and to you as well! 😊
My 2 priorities: kill the silent filibuster and kill the kill switch.
Get the SAVE legislation passed. John Thune and Senate Republicans are sitting on it.
I lost all hope after the bill they just passed.
Can someone tell me why line item veto power was removed from the president?
It was only on the books for two years: Congress enacted it in 1996, and the Supreme Court took it away in 1998 as unconstitutional.
👍 thanks
But Congress riddling bills with oodles of pork laden lines piggy backing serious reform isn’t?
What strikes me as being so odd about that Court decision is that, as a rule, the Court tends to be reluctant to interfering with the legislative process and what majorities decide. It's been years since I read that decision, so I think the Court probably based its decision on the idea that by letting presidents having the ability to pick and choose parts of a bill is a violation of the separation of powers basis of the Constitution, that in essence he was legislating.
The Board of Peace part blew my mind. That’s the sort of insightful content that brings me here every day. People think I’m crazy to think Trump has audacious long-term plans, but here’s more evidence they’re even more audacious than I thought. Replace the UN with Trump as the permanent head? LOL
And yet, so many people think Democrats will win the midterms. As if Trump hasn’t noticed how a loss would derail his plans. Nearly everything is lining up for a historic GOP win. There are the RINOs and GOPe types who’d prefer to lose, but I suspect Trump will have ways to overcome them, too.
Jeff illustrates the depth and skill of Trumps planning. Who had dismantling WHO, WEF and the UN on their bingo card. I constantly read posting on line of people who want Bondi fired and complain about the slow pace of prosecutions. I always reply with "patience Grasshopper". The Trumpster has a plan. He always has a plan. He reveals the connecting of the dots at his own time and choosing. He's got two major actions that will happen this year. Prosecutions of those in on the attempted Coup and the fixing of our crooked election systems. A third might be a balanced budget which eliminates a big chunk of the endemic fraud. I can't wait.
It all makes sense to me. We all know Trump has a big ego. The error his haters make is to think that means he wants to be Hitler 2.0. In reality he’s a patriot who wants to be not just George Washington 2.0, but Charlemagne 2.0. He wants to save the Western world, and thus the whole world.
And he always has. Listen to his interviews from 30-40 years ago and he said the same exact things back then. He has remained consistent. The fact that he was so astute at such a young age and has never deviated from his principles and standards for America makes me elated that he is our president again.
True! Plus, his negotiating tactics were described in The Art of the Deal, and further described by Scott Adams beginning in 2015. His team is made of big thinkers who are deeply anti-left. It’s not like these things are occult secrets. Add it all together and it’s obvious that the talk of a Golden Age is not just empty words. That’s the plan.
I pray you are correct about the midterms. I get sick to my stomach thinking what would happen should the Demorats win control of Congress. As Jeff said, “everything good stops”. I can’t bear to think what the liberals I know would have to say…..
The Somali fraud story will blow up big and connect to the entire Democratic Party through ActBlue. Trump knows branding, and it will destroy their entire brand as the “caring” party when the average voter learns they stole billions meant for the poor. He’s also sitting on proof of too many other scandals to list. I can’t imagine him not using them to win the midterms.
I'm not sure that the 'average voter' will hear anything about it from the MSM - and will continue with their ignorance!
They'll notice and remember when he abolishes or slashes income taxes....calling it now.
Trump has a talent for getting headlines whenever he wants to.
I pray this is true
Sure hope your insight is right on target!!! 👍🏻
Naysayers want to discourage voters in th mid-terms……as in why bother, the D’S will win!
You know why I like your blog Jeff? It makes me positively LONG, like, really YEARN for the return of Jesus Christ. As the Bible instructs the true children of God to do. And I'm not talking lip-service. I'm talking wake up in the middle of the night asking God if maybe the wretched ****-show is almost over.
Tell me. If the world doesn't need the UN why do we need a 2.0 version called the Board of Peace? (Which evidently includes those paragons of peace, Turkey and Russia and Yemen.)
Getting out of WHO is excellent, and I'm glad, but someone is still going to tell us how to manage our health. I haven't forgotten RFK's wearables for all within four years. Or Elon's dream of chipping everyone. Or Thiel's Palantier wanting to snoop around in my thoughts, for the safety of democracy.
I admire your optimism and share it, but only because world events seem to be laser pointed toward the only truly competent Person, who can really run the show, and is on the way. And that's what really excites me.
I think the BOP is meant to do the narrow but important work that the UN was intended for but didn’t do because it was adulterated. Trump did it all himself in just one year without any of their help, the way it was SUPPOSED to be done in the first place. So making the BOP is an attempt to bottle his approach and get it right, because they will never let him head the UN to correct all that is wrong with that organization. I bet they are setting up guardrails and standards that prevent the same adulteration from happening, so long as he is the head. But once he passes on from this life? Yeah, it becomes another organization that can be sabotaged.
Speaking of Carney and (confession by projection) bullying, a Canadian reporter was out just yesterday at the Australian Open Tennis tourney creating struggle sessions for American athletes with the same repetitive demand. He failed so badly, it was comical: https://aynsrants.substack.com/p/athlete-struggle-sessions-are-so
He sure did!
Has anyone else or @Jeff had your algorithm feed you the content by the channel called Promethean Action ? Their framing seems quite useful. Curious to hear what you think.
Here’s a recent piece by them: https://youtu.be/eEeaX8VaMc4?si=4fuzhl9Pd9oOGlRe.
A good friend turned me onto them last year and I have shared some of their weekly videos here. Jeff has shared some as well. Their Youtube channel is really growing.
Barbara Boyd suggested this week everyone needs to become familiar with Trumps EO's from last year as they are playing out now.
I found them recently and have been tuning in regularly 👍🏼
It’s really good.
Quality reporting
Great comment and question - I watch them a lot!
Phoney MAGA site.
Tell me more
The corruption in the entire law and justice system in Minnesota is irredeemably, criminally corrupt. I remember my history books about towns, entire territories in the old west being similarly irredeemably, criminally corrupt. And yet the federal government found a way to bring law and order to those jurisdictions that had fallen into comprehensive criminality. Even if cases can be brought to trial in a stacked deck justice system juries are nullifying the law when overwhelming evidence of guilt in assaults and attempted murder of federal officials has occurred; it cannot be fixed from within.
So I asked my LLM about how the wild west was tamed, using the context of US Marshals encountering corrupt/criminal local officials there. Here's the chat, maybe Jeff, others can weigh in on if/how this same strategy can be employed in the criminal-run insurrectionist states:
"FF: When corrupt/criminal local authorities conspire to deprive citizens of their rights in local jurisdictional issues like common criminal acts, did deprivation of rights become a federal matter they could arrest and charge local authorities with?
LLM: Yes, when corrupt or criminal local authorities conspire to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights—even in local jurisdictional matters—those acts become federal crimes under 18 U.S.C. § 242, which criminalizes the willful deprivation of rights under color of law.
This statute allows federal prosecution of state and local officials, including police, judges, and sheriffs, who misuse their authority to violate federally protected rights, such as due process, equal protection, or freedom from unreasonable seizure. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) can investigate and charge such officials, and U.S. Marshals may assist in their arrest, especially when local systems are compromised.
Key points:
"Under color of law" means the official is acting with perceived governmental authority, even if their conduct is illegal.
The violation must be willful—the official must knowingly violate a clearly established right.
Examples include false arrest, excessive force, evidence fabrication, or racially motivated violence.
Landmark cases like Screws v. United States (1945) affirmed federal jurisdiction over local law enforcement who violate civil rights.
Additionally, statutes like the Hobbs Act (extortion by officials), RICO, and mail/wire fraud laws are used to prosecute corrupt local regimes, especially when federal funds or interstate activity are involved.
Thus, while marshals couldn’t intervene in routine local crimes, they—and other federal agencies—could act when systemic corruption violated constitutional rights, effectively federalizing the response.
18 U.S.C. § 242
federal prosecution of corrupt local officials civil rights
FF: If the local authorities are criminal/corrupt are federal officials able to change the venue to other jurisdictions outside where the deprivation of rights occurred?
LLM: Yes, federal officials could change venue to jurisdictions outside where the deprivation of rights occurred, especially when local authorities were corrupt or compromised.
Under 18 U.S.C. § 3237(a) and Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 21, federal courts may transfer criminal cases to another district for the convenience of parties and witnesses or in the interest of justice. This allows prosecutors to move civil rights or corruption cases away from jurisdictions where local courts, law enforcement, or juries might be influenced by corrupt officials.
Additionally, laws like the Public Corruption Prosecution Improvements Act allow venue in any district where an act in furtherance of the crime occurred, enabling federal prosecutors to choose neutral or more favorable jurisdictions. This is critical when local systems are complicit—ensuring fair trials and effective enforcement of federal law."
JC and C&C Readers -Thoughts?
Then you have WA state wanting to make an unelected board to replace elected sheriffs with a person who has the same “understanding and beliefs” as the governing party of the state. ie Ferguson and buddies
And along with that, legislation has been proposed barring anyone hired by ICE after January 20, 2025 from ever being hired by any law enforcement agency in Washington state. According to the insane leftist (but I repeat myself) proposing this bill, anyone trained during the 2nd Trump administration is not trustworthy.
We should adopt that page from their book. Anyone trained during the Obama/Biden administrations are not trustworthy. Anywhere. We must go on offense, learn from our adversaries. Defense doesn't score points. We're always on defense. Happy to only give up field goals instead of touchdowns.
Good to know that there are laws referring to changing the venue, which is certainly needed.
Especially since a jury in Chicago just acquitted (is that the right word) the guy who placed a $10,000 hit on Greg Bovino, ruling that there was insufficient evidence BECAUSE he only had $20 in his bank account. 🤨🤨🤦🏼♀️
There was sufficient evidence of the crime charged, but a jury threw it out because he couldn’t afford to pay. When is the last time a cartel pays its cronies with bank deposits? When do criminals deposit a large sum of cash? When do we assume a crime will ALWAYS use a bank account? And inciting violence is a real crime - people who may have acted on his offer didn’t know whether or not he had a bank account with enough funds in it to pay them. The incitement is the crime.
But the jury threw out the case on insufficient evidence. Guilt was determined by available bank funds??? This is Gotham City logic. Chicago is a city that cannot be trusted with a jury if their citizens if this can happen in smaller cases. You KNOW it’s happening worse in the bigger ones.
Interestingly, I was rejected and sent home the four times I was called to jury duty over the past 15 years. They are never going to allow good, common sense citizens on their juries in this Godforsaken place.
The sooner New Illinois becomes a reality the better. It will be sans Chicago.
I’d honestly consider staying if there were any chance we could cut Chicago from our state - let it be its own little NJ sized state. But we have been taxed to death and can’t stay much longer. Hubby retires in a few years and we can’t leave until then, so my calculations show we will lose another $70,000 over the next four years due to unfair taxation, and that’s calculated AFTER accounting for new taxes elsewhere after moving.
Once he retires he might appreciate that, unlike neighboring states, Illinois doesn't tax pensions, social security, or IRA withdrawals.
Equally, many States have no Income Tax at all!
I believe it is so when they get accused of threats against someone it will be standing that it’s hard to prove. I also have never been selected for jury duty. The last time I had to fill out a 25 page questionnaire online and I knew then they would toss me off the list. Especially after one entire page that was pick your gender. The next page was to pick my sexual preference. And I’m not joking! I tried not to even read the words, but I didn’t know them anyway 😖
What kills me is that something like sex, which is well rooted in biology and very either/or, is open to interpretation and considered a variable. But something like race, culture and ethnicity, which leaves a lot of wriggle room for many people, is considered a sacrosanct and immutable biological characteristic. That's why people who are of 90% European ancestry and 10% African ancestry are considered and consider themselves black. Likewise people with teeny amounts of NA ancestry.
I gave up trying to get on a jury.
And I absolutely believe all this is being studied and prepared by the relevant authorities in the Trump administration as well as plans for dealing with the fiery pushback.
I have also thought of the lawless west and how it was tamed. It was a far smaller and less complex matter of course.
We’re talking millions of diverse groups with international criminal backing to fight back with chaotic mobs and legal entanglements.
A very delicate operation indeed.
In the meantime, we have to fight the ‘no arrests, where are the arrests’ narrative of the Left. They see this as major way to discourage and divide MAGA, put Demonrats back in power, and end all the good progress we’ve made.
You can "believe" and wish in one hand, and crap in the other, and see which one gets filled up first.
Thanks for coming out, FUD dispenser...
I know reality is hard for many here. I'm not in the business of "hoping" and "thinking" politicians are going to help us peasants.
So you've given up hope (understandable for some), but you want to bring down as many other people as you can into your pit of despair. That makes you either a fool or a FUD farming troll....
I would like to think that people can think for themselves and make their own decisions and judgements while I exercise my free speech which apparently you do not like.
Please spare us your LLM research, Freedom Fox.
I understand why you wrote that. You don't have to be a prick about it.
Yes I would have had more respect for Anne had her reply given thoughtful, counter logic to your own.
I found your post fascinating, and I’m on the fence with this issue. On one hand you could argue that when a federal government is running away wildly down the tracks and no way to stop it in a timely manner before they destroy our country that a convention of the states is the tool to use, IF those wielding the convention are upright and honest and among those who have faithfully followed the current constitution as it is written. Being that less than 20% of Congress can be credited with that, it could be argued that trying to correct it in the ways you recommend will not work as it is too far gone and you will never get the necessary amendments/corrections/guardrails passed. Therefore our country continues to head at high speed into destruction. Yet I see the dangers of a convention of states if the same evil people that pressed the accelerator in the first place are controlling it.
I’m a pretty good specimen of the average American out here that understands basics but in no way am I as educated in the constitution as you are, so many of us are going to see it the way I am and be on the fence.
So that means I really appreciate your post, as hard as it is to wrap my head around it. Anne’s response is the typical, insult-flinging debate that only showcases her own ignorance and isn’t worthy of any respect.
Thing is, I understand her point. I'm on the fence about using LLM's. I know they are the tools/weapons of our oppressors, part of the infrastructure that is intended to be our invisible prison. And any use of it makes the prison walls stronger. I get that. And appreciate where she's coming from. But it was tossed out there as a barb, not as a point of information, explanation for other readers to understand the peril her comment was meant to convey. The insult-flinging has become so reflexive.
And reviewing her comment I believe it was directed at my previous comment about following the precedent of circumventing corrupt, criminal local governments, police and courts, juries. Yes, I could've taken the LLM response and narrowed it down into my own words. I was lazy this morning and trying to get in early on the C&C comment threads, they fill up quickly and later comments end up in the nosebleed seats.
Which LLM do you use?
Just the basic one installed in my Brave browser.
And thank you for giving my comment about Convention of the States a read and deeper thought. That is what an educated populace is supposed to do. The populace that is needed to preserve and protect the individual rights and liberties the nation was created to protect. The lack of education or deep thought is why any politician today can get away with saying, "the warmth of collectivism." When that warm, collectivist open hand is clenched into a fist it becomes icy cold.
Gee whiz, Juju, your comment seems to be slinging at me. You can see that I did not mean to be a prick, if you revisit the comment to see what I replied to Freedom Fox.
Language, 🙏 please..we aremore educated than that.
I did not mean to be a prick about it. It was the second time I had seen you make a lengthy post based on an LLM. I am leery about AI in general and its possible detrimental effects on human thought.
Then simply say that. It’s less insulting than what you DID say and how you said it
We all can be Quick Draw McGraw's these days, product of our times. It rubbed me wrong today, has been a tough week for a lot of reasons.
You read my understanding of what I thought you meant? It was just the "how" it was expressed
Consider me duly chastised by you and Juju for what I said and what I didn’t say.
This is America….speak your mind!
Why....is there fault in it somewhere that you wanted to point out? This is exactly the sort of thing that AI excels at....digging up statutes and citing landmark cases, where no "imagineering" takes place.
You make a good point if that is the extent of AI’s function. I recall that there have been news reports of AI going rogue, such as citing nonexistent legal cases. I am leery.
Staying leery is important, no doubt.
It's time to Drop The N:
Minnesota Nice is now Minnesota ICE.
The whole show is to populate the new Israeli country of Somali land, which no one recognizes. They did the same to the Jews in Iran to get them to move to Israel. Now they are rounding them up in Maine.
The wife, an ardent Leftist, has for years complained that Europe has universal healthcare and 6-month paid maternity leave, and why can't we? For the longest time, I had no answer. Europe clearly wasn't as productive as America; where did all that wealth come from that enabled such things?
Comes now one Donald J Trump who sayeth: the Marshall Plan is now expired. The era of Europe tariffing U.S. goods while enjoying tariff-free access to the U.S. market has ended. Get out your checkbooks.
I always knew the Marshall Plan was a device for rebuilding Europe's war-torn infrastructure; I didn't know it was still in daily use.
Now it is no longer in daily use, and Europe's all-in dalliance with Climate Mania has left them in a position where they are unable, because of it, to survive without the benefits of an eternal Marshall Plan. They're looking into the abyss and not enjoying the view. Within a very short time, 30-hour weeks will have to become 40- and 45-hour weeks, 6-month paid maternity leaves will become 6-week unpaid leaves, and universal healthcare is going to become slightly (or startlingly) more expensive than Europeans are accustomed to.
Welcome to the party, pals. Mene mene tekel upharsin.
Allow me to explain European healthcare. I lived there for 10 years. People died waiting six months for a heart valve replacement or a stent. People who could afford it traveled to Spain or elsewhere to get medical care and paid out of pocket. There is no different list for people who are criminals and/or on the dole for life and people who have worked hard and paid into the system their entire lives. It is something you do not want.
And how is that different from here? You don't have insurance you don't have access unless you can pay out of pocket, which hardly anyone can afford.
Medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy. Our government is actively poisoning the entire population, no matter who is in charge.
It’s different because you don’t have the opportunity to have insurance.
It's time to move the UN out of New York and turn the building into a residence for homeless vets, estimated at 150,000. They could have their own rooms, laundries, cafeterias, medical treatment, including healthcare. There could be stores where they could purchase food, clothes, and other necessities.
In 2016 (the last year numbers were available), United Nations diplomats owed New York City over $16 million in unpaid parking tickets. It is probably double that, and it is time for NYC to collect.
We actually have friends that have been living there for close to 40 yrs! Apparently, there are apartments that are rented.
Really? I had no idea.
Anyone following this legislation?
"76 House GOP reps joined ALL DEMOCRATS to BLOCK Amendment #2 on HR 7148, which will now ALLOW for the FUNDING of SENATE EARMARKS for:

- Gender Mutilation Surgeries on MINORS
- DEI programs

.... depressing...
So angry about it. They hold hostage the things in the bill Trump needs by adding stuff neither he nor us would ever approve of. If you vote for it you’re accused of being a Democrat, of you vote against it you’re accused of not supporting Trump. I’m so sick of how they do bills!
This is where things get sticky for Jeff’s characterization. People are beginning to ask: ARE they ours? Or are they the adversary’s, trying to undo and run out the clock on the purely executive, quickly-reversible wins Jeff describes?
In which case, if failure is the end point anyway, there’s a valid argument to remove the enemy agents, not fear short-term failure, and emerge with a force that will actually fight. My only caution is that there is no magic, and you’d need a plan to elect and then support that force. Or one that breaks the game board utterly, of course, something that failing Republics tend to attract.
“These pro-killswitch, pro-pork Republicans might be squishes, but they are our squishes.”
This is a most excellent year to remove democrats from the house and senate… dem support for all things anti American should bite them in the a$$. For the first time in a long time ohio s northern most congressional district has a certified Republican running against Marcy, this is a fight republicans can win.
Trump, et al very specifically invited the world to join us. It's America first here, and it should be "Germany First" in Germany, not "EU First" or "NATO First". Every country needs to think primarily of their people, prosperity, and what level of chaos they wish to endure. Trump will go down in history for his "Grey Champion" role in ushering in the climax of the fourth turning - not only here, but he is reshaping the globe. Seriously, if you have not read the fourth turning, you need to get it and read it. It all makes perfect sense in the context of the hypothesis.
I’ve read it - great - my grandson also read it and we’ve agreeably discussed it!
