Well ... The polls about last night were wrong ... Again. And With a sample size as large as last nite (NY, NJ, VA) , I don't think it can any longer be said that, "well, not all democrats believe this". A sample size this large indicates a majority mindset shift.
And in NY what you are seeing is also immigration without assimilation. So I do not think there will be "buyers remorse", this is a trend in the Democrat party. So If you call yourself an "old school" democrat, realize, that concept no longer exists. If you're in it, you own it.
Exactly. You vote for anti woman, pro illegals, pro violence, pro “free stuff” and “rules for thee but not for me” you deserve everything that comes from those ghouls and their policies.
New York could implode and disappear into a gigantic Democrat sinkhole and the Media would never report it. Get ready for the greatest Media gaslighting of all time during Mandami’s tenure. He will run for President at some future time. Alas, America, we hardly knew ye.
Speaking of Barry, the arc of both is setting up to be the same. And conservatives, MAGA mustn't get played like they did by Barry.
To wit, here's the challenge of his victory, the "but he's a Communist who will destroy NYC" outrage factory R's relied on to attack him: whatever he does to destroy NYC won't be immediate. It will be time-delayed bombs, seemingly small, at critical places. Sitting, unexploded. For a relatively long time.
Overstating the damage those bombs will cause in the short-term will run into credibility issues. And voters who hear the doom and gloom will see things appearing normal on the surface and say we were full of hot air. Come to believe Socialism/Communism isn't as bad as we say it is. Lost credibility.
The damage will come when those little bombs explode a few years down the line. Maybe not even until his term(s) in office are over. Much like what the Obama administration did. The ramifications of Obamacare, centralization of health care decisions (top-down, one-size-fits-all pandemic infrastructure), changes to Smith-Mundt propaganda, many low-intensity policy decisions/battles not having effect until the Trump/Biden/Trump administrations. And then it's too late to reverse course easily.
Maybe some in this readership are familiar with the WWII movie "Force 10 From Navarone." The climactic scene where the charges placed inside the dam explode and nothing happens. Leading to frustration by the US/UK special ops team that their efforts were for not. Meanwhile, the demolitions expert sat patiently, unfazed, calmly sayng "Let it take it's time, nature will work, gravity works slowly." And he was right. The dam came down.
That's what Barry did. That's what Mamdani will do. THAT is what we must defend against, attack against. Shrill cries that the sky will instantly fall in NYC will ruin our credibility. And then the bomb will go off, doing its work slowly.
When has following the law been a hindrance to Democrats doing whatever they want? If Mandami wants to run, they will make it happen, one way or another.
saw a report on Substack yesterday that Goldman Sachs is building an 800,000 sq. ft. facility in Dallas & that chase has more employees in Dallas than NY - the rest of Wall Street soon to follow? So Texas will have the energy and financial capitals of the world in the not too distant future
I can vouch for this! We've traveled the country full time for the last 5 years and have marveled at the wide variety of offerings at Costco stores in differing regions. When we returned to DFW this time, I was shocked to see how much of the stock matched what we'd seen on the east coast - a much higher percentage of options geared towards middle eastern and Indian populations.
I know this had to happen but the consequences will be horrific. GOD will deal with them just as HE did Sodom and Gomorrah. Actions have consequences. When you as an individual support evil, your hands are just as dirty and your soul is just as evil. This is and has always been a spiritual battle. Each of us has to decide who we will follow. GOD or the enemy, satan. They decided. GOD is fulfilling HIS promises of exposing things done in the dark to the light which is truth
Reminds me of that scene in Dr Zhivago when the Dr returns to the grand house that he used to visit in Moscow (was it his wealthy wife's childhood home? ) and it had been turned into an apartment building, a low income cooperative...for the unwashed peasants. .."Power to the People" and all that!
I have several friends, Californians no less, who’ve been hardcore democrats their entire lives. They are turning independent or republican. I have been sounding the clarion call for the past three years to them. It’s finally sinking in. Only one of five voted yes on Prop 50. I’ve been calling DSA members communists for those three years (longer, but for them, it’s been three), and one of them, again someone who’d considered himself progressive, admitted that I was right. Hopefully, it’s not too late.
I got myself in trouble on Facebook for sharing my opinion about the person at the table next to us at dinner the other night. It was a blatant display of affection (petting, under the table, etc.). I said I was tired of the Drag Queen-supposed-to-be-accepting mentality. The nastiness that followed was unprecedented… about what a terrible person I am. I unfriended three "friends", not friends. I don’t believe God wants us to pretend it’s normal.
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
When a people reject God as king, he raises one up to teach them a lesson. He gives them what they want; to use a modern idiom, "enough rope to hang themselves."
The republicans better get their shit together and pass major federal voter reforms. The fraud and illegal voting is bad enough. The Islamization of the US has hit stride- witness Europe and U.K. these animals must go or they will carve up your grandchildren after they’ve raped them. NYC will be a Failed shithole full of jihadists ready to roll through your backyard. Trump needs mass deportation and the Muslim ban outright
The problem is that the Rs benefit from the fraud as well.
During the Jill Stein recount in 2016 in MI, I ran across a witness to the recount. The fraud was on the part of the poll workers; they deliberately miscounted the ballots in favor of Hillary.
The "outsider nerd" governor had the poll workers "get more training."
He could be doing mass deportation right now but he’s not. He’s only going after the criminal illegals. That’s better than nothing but that’s not what he’s been campaigning about for the last 9 years.
well what they are doing doesn't work well in the majority of the states and with the majority of Americans so I hope they stay on this road - it will be the end of the democrat party - thankfully
Henceforth, I’m renaming them Depend-ocrats because they’re all looking for some sort of government hand-out and have become totally dependent on Uncle Sam, AKA, the American taxpayer.
And NO DUAL CITIZENSHIP holder can be in ANY position of political power. If you can’t commit to the USA you do not deserve a place at the table to effectively our laws.
Great idea, Mary! But it will never happen because, if you haven't noticed, the entire system is BROKEN. That's not just me being sarcastic. It is broken! And no longer works as designed because of the communist infiltration which has been supported by untold millions of dollars quietly placed in off-shore accounts as well as all sorts of other bribes; thus, spoiling the entire process. But we can all keep pretending - until the entire process totally collapses overnight, which I believe will soon come to pass.
I have to disagree on this one. There are a lot of good people in New York. Many of them have money, too. I hope they do leave and take their money, businesses, and conservative ideologies with them. Leave New York in the hands of the idiots who elected Muslimdami and let them choke.
I recall when Rush Limbaugh moved from NY to Fla he was harassed for years by NY “officials” for tax evasion etc, as they said he “really” still lived in NY. 🤦🏻♀️✊🏼🇺🇸
Didn’t Mamdani threaten to tax any businesses that try to leave if they do any business in NY? He’s threatening them to fall in line. I’d take ALL my business away from NY after a threat like that.
We recently visited our daughter in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago. Chicago has been blue forever and run as many Democrats run cities, two separate worlds; the haves and the have nots. Our daughter’s neighborhood was nice, (expensive), 3 story walk ups. They are populated by young, single professionals and young upwardly mobile families. The streets are shaded and people friendly. My daughter says she walks the neighborhood block every night and is not afraid. What I did not see after attending a street fair with her is #1 upwardly successful Blacks. Not a Black face did I see. #2 Muslim or Islamic, Middle Eastern faces. The faces were predominantly White with eastern Asian thrown in. I was surprised by this. On the way to the airport leaving, I could tell immediately when we had left this safe area.
Those of us in the south have seen our states turn purple due to those escaping high taxes but bringing their politics with them. Make NY, PA, and NJ own it!
Beg to differ...some of us left our home in California and escaped to other states and ended up being more conservative than the native born...Texas and Arizona come to mind. Why do you think liberals find it so important to infect (teach) your children...
I know it’s not every Californian but many a states have been harmed by the influx of CAs. They fled but ruined our Town/ State by turning it into what they fled. That’s my experience.
“all” is an absolute, so of course it’s not all. But we generalize based on high percentages and often are right in making those assumptions about good and bad.
Democrats fleeing their failed Blue states are an invasive species and should be treated as such. The destruction they wreak — economic and otherwise (driving out locals with increasing housing prices) — is like a cancer in conservative communities. Their moral rot is difficult to defend against. That said, conservative voter turnout in all local races should be 100%, for everything from City Council and school boards to dog catcher. Shame on everyone who didn’t take the time and effort to vote, we are never going to bolster our policy gains unless we vote in people who will defend them.
I have already contacted my gov and asked him to think of a way to block them and bringing this to the attention of the local repub club. these parasites can't be tolerated in red states.
re: "The inexperienced muslim socialist got more than 1 million votes for mayor, a benchmark not met since 1969."
Really? According to who? The NY criminals who counted the election? They used mail in ballots. How can they prove who received their ballot, voted the ballot and returned the ballot when they don't ever establish end to end chain of custody of the ballots claiming it is too expensive. If it is too expensive to establish end to end chain of custody - as they do for walk in voters - it is too expensive to allow mail in ballots to be used.
In the redo of the Jail District election which I forced on our county by winning the lawsuit I brought against them, as of right now, they are claiming 10800 YES votes to 10070 NO votes - out of a total of approximately 88,000 Voters - they claim only approx 21000 bothered to vote - even though they claim voters really love mail in voting. It was a one issue ballot again, nothing else on it. Yes, "Our" county also uses mail in ballots, for 27 days with no end to end chain of custody, no identity and violate the AZ and USA Equal Protection Clause as well as other parts of the AZ Constitution. They have no way of proving that any of the "mail in" voters even got their ballots, let alone voted and returned them. But they will still "certify" the election, when they "canvass".
Lets not also forget their claimed "victory" is only about 51.9% which is far under the Constitutional requirement passed in Arizona in Nov of 2022 which states that for all tax elections, a super majority of 60% is required. They claim they don't have to follow that Constitutional requirement.
My point is that we are governed by people who don't give a damn about our Constitutional protections - you know - the "Supreme Law of the Land", in fact they overtly and covertly, ignore them, daring us to take them to court where they will use our own tax dollars and a corrupt judiciary to ensure we have no chance. Some will say, but you won Dan... yes I did, it was extraordinary and a one off event, no one in AZ ever having won an election contest lawsuit. I submit it was God who used me as an instrument of His Will, not me.
And so they redid the "s_Election" yesterday - claiming they would follow the law - they did not - and got nearly the identical result and are daring anyone to challenge their result. Such is the situation we find ourselves in across the country.
And until we get rid of mail in ballots, we will continue to have the same outcomes.
re: "We’ll need a very smart strategy next year." End no excuse mail in balloting and machine counting by corrupt gov. Elections are supposed to be of, by, and for the Citizens, not of, by and for the government. They've stolen our elections from us, we need to take them back.
I was just wondering about all the numbers of votes never seen before. Sounds to me like the illegal benefits, payments, free health card etc were successful. We better get these people off the voter rolls before midterms or we as Republicans are cooked.
Oh I’m sure you’re right Dan. However, there is definitely also a non negligible element that enthusiastically eats up the whole leftist agenda and has so much TDS it will reflexively embrace anything that is the opposite of Trump and MAGA.
And they embrace - and conduct - wholesale mail in ballot fraud to have their way. They know it is the only way they can "win" elections.
Let me ask you something RL, are you at all disturbed by what President Trump and his administration has accomplished? I'm not, not one damn thing am I upset or mad about. In fact, everything he is doing, is precisely, exactly what I voted for. Does anyone else, except for TDS lunatics believe otherwise (the lunatics make up about 30% or less of the population?) I think not. So, why would voters not show up? If they "showed up" with mail in votes is it at all possible those votes were not counted or perhaps traded out? Not only possible, but likely. It is just too easy and again, they have a corrupt government and judiciary to protect them. Now we will hear for the next year how the lunatics are ascendant, supercharged and there will be a blue wave. Of course there will be a blue wave - it will be manufactured with wholesale mail in ballot fraud.
I am also happy with what he’s done but I don’t think there are that many in NY and northern VA at least who share our point of view. I would venture to guess that the TDS proportion in those areas is much higher than the 30% you cited.
Running Logic… the problem is Soros paid for communism infiltrated the U.S. for decades, the documentary “Enemies Within” is critical to understand this, and like cancer, communism spreads with flowery promises of “hope and change” that our low information population and “immigration without assimilation”:illegals vote for…. https://youtu.be/abI2wIuRJ58?si=flUSKiLSkMiDK4Zt
I was in NYC last month. My son and his fiancé live there (required for current jobs, but they own a home here in FL and plan to move soon). We saw tons of young people there making the most of the good the city offers, but they live on a razor's edge, constantly avoiding crazy people on the subway, beggars, petty and serious criminals, sky high prices, sky high taxes, etc. Young people are very mobile and flexible. It won't take much in terms of higher taxes, less policing, more discrimination against white people for many of the most productive to pick up and go to Miami, Texas, Tennessee, or back to their some towns.
Oh dear no ..if they voted for all this crap they cannot move to somewhere else. Please no !!! Live with it. If you voted for this Muslim Communist stuff then it’s your responsibility to stay and vote your way out if it. Don’t ruin life for the rest of us which is exactly what Californians did to Oregon and may other states. !!!!
He can fail and not fulfill any of his promises. The Dems don't care. They will blame Trump for their failures as they always have and they'll vote once again for the socialist/communist.
The open society is run by a penultimate Wall Street trader who likes to use “other people’s money” and I would expect the puppet masters behind mamdami to pilfer taxpayers rather than self fund the crazy. This is going to be about wealth transfer, but will be hard to hide, except from the NYTimes of course.
Thanks, Roger, you made me laugh! Mamalamadingdong! I love it. There was an old song with the line “oh, mommy, I ain’t no commie” and I’ve been singing to that tune, “mamdani, he’s a raghead commie…”.
Not many unless and until their Democrat benefactors regain national power and turn the spigot back on. The only way I see to stop that is for Congress to act now. But that is very, very, very unlikely.
This guy has never lived on his own, has never held a job, has never been a manager of anything or anyone. He doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. And he's about to find out the hard way. But the problem is obama, hochul, Soros, and many others are standing by waiting to be the one to run the city.
The interesting thing is going to be watching those people and others wrestling for control of New York City because Mamalongadingdong is going to get really bored with the day-to-day paperwork and management issues that any City requires. Like so many Democrats he just wanted the title. He didn't really want to do the work. That's what we had with Obama and that's what we're getting with this clown.
Amazing that it's happening in New York city. Atlas shrugged indeed.
The left won’t see it either way. All they know is they won. Seriously they don’t give a shit because it doesn’t affect the majority of them financially or physically with their armed guards and walls and a ton of money. Who cares… bring in communism as they will benefit.
When Desantis was elected FL was apparently +300k Dem & now its +1.4M GOP - the difference moved in from places like NYC/NJ etc which will sink deeper - forcing more people to leave for places like FL...
It’s really just the stinking Boroughs - mainly Manhattan. My solution is split Manhattan, Brooklyn and Bronx off; call that “state NEW YORK. Rename the rest of the geographic area the State of Upstate…that’s what EVERYTHING north of the Bronx is referred to anyway. A TWO STATE solution that USA needs.
Can enough illegals be concentrated in several urban states to eventually provide an insurmountable electoral college majority? 7 to 10 states provide a Democrat win?
I would argue that, as long as illegals are counted in the census, it may be possible to cram enough illegals into urban areas of enough states to skew the electoral college and also provide a forever majority in the House.
Yep. But it's actually worse than that. It's the camel's nose under the tent. Do Americans really want non-citizen Muslims in charge of their cities and deeply committed, not to American, but to their countries of origin? Apparently Democrats will do anything to stay in power. And this not only troubles me - it scares the H3LL out of me!!!
What is happening in locations like New York City, New Jersey, Virginia, and California is that, even though the governance gets worse and worse the further left the Democrats go, the people who would be willing to vote GOP for a change have moved to red states. Some of those internal migrants are solid Republican voters but many are left leaning independents who, once they reach a better governed polity, keep voting for Democrats.
They complain about taxes and cost of living, and then vote in people who raise taxes and increase the cost of living 🤦♀️. When the wealthy flee, there is no one left to blame tax but the middle and lower classes. Midwits electing midwits. It’s hard to watch a sinking ship.
They said over 50% of NY are now immigrants but they didn’t clarify how many are illegal or are first generation who came unwilling to assimilate. Technically we are ALL immigrants so NY is literally 100% immigrant, as is every other city, but when you look at what percentage are not native born here and how many in NY are first generation immigrants, and how many are illegal, that makes me think that’s what the 50% is referring to. It’s like the Somalians in MN, and the Muslims in TX. They did not come here to be “America”, they came here to replace America with their own country/culture.
I saw a tik tok of a young man who said he’d just arrived in NY and voted for Mamdamni six times. SIX TIMES. Not sure I’m buying the whole “voter turnout” thing.
Yep, all those leftist women that wear their "Handmaid's Tale" outfits during protests are going to wish they had that outfit instead of their future Burqa.
I was. But when I realized Green Peace was a terrorist organization, I had to reconsider my party affiliation. Now I’m a right of center UAF. Age changes things, Dr. Linda ;).

Assuming the results were above board. As usual voters were shut out from voting in key precincts. There is no "old school" democrat. There are patently insane loyalists.
The results were as expected. Time to kill the fillibuster.
Supreme Court is said to rule tomorrow on tariffs... Hang on.
Heartiest congratulations and Mazel Tov to New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. We are proud to endorse you and look forward to your leadership, vision, and collaboration for the betterment of our community and all New Yorkers!
I'm gonna catch hell for this: There’s no such thing as a peaceful Muslim. A Muslim purporting to be peaceful is either clinging to a watered down Muslim Lite version of the text, has a select knowledge of the text based on preferential “verse cherry picking”, has absolutely no idea what’s in the text, or is lying (which is perfectly acceptable, by the way). One thing is for certain: New York City is ground zero - and safe haven - for the continued Muslim world takeover. (see Europe) This is a flat out invasion. "Now, this is our time.".....yes, I suppose it is.
On the extreme - but very real - end of the spectrum, "forced conversion" to Islam under threats of being beheaded seem a bit disingenuous, at best. What kind of god wouldn't see through the ruse? It's not spiritual, it's not religious, it's subjugation.
It’s easy to think that Islam is not a religion because of the results it creates in its wake. Slavery and misogyny and destruction. Religion is best defined by what people believe they must DO to get to Heaven or Nirvana or whatever it is in the afterlife. False religions which are all except faith in Christ alone, are demonically inspired. Satan and his demons are being unleashed in blue cities in our country. Europe is all but lost to it. Nigeria. All false religions bring destruction. Only the true religion brings peace. And it’s really not a “religion” since religions are man-made. But instead we are at peace through a “relationship” with the Creator God the Lord Jesus Christ. And without it, you’re in the hand of the destroyer, regardless of the religion.
As for the attitude of both religions towards "the other," the Talmud seems to state that if a person of Jewish descent kills a gentile, they are exempt from capital punishment.
The Talmud is an anthology of Jewish writings over a few thousand years. It is not a roadmap for faith. That would be the Torah, which somehow never gets mentioned, quoted or linked by antisemites.
There is no comparison between Judaism and Islam.
Islam; the religion that calls for killing those who reject it, the covering of women from head to toe, total control of the movement and actions of women, stoning for nonviolent crimes and offenses (like adultery and homosexuality), pleasure preventing sexual mutilation of girls, cruelty to dogs and other animals—what’s not to love for AWFLS and AWMLS?
And in the talmud it states that gentiles with their bodies will descend into Gehinnom and are judged for 12 months. After 12 months their bodies are destroyed and their souls burnt and scattered by a wind under the soles of the feet of the righteous. from Mal. iv.3.
If they’re as dumb as the one I saw interviewed the other day who declared she didn’t care that Palestinians would kill her if she went there, she still supported them because “it’s the right thing to do” 🙄 Yeah easy to say when you’re miles and miles away 🙄
Imagine the freak show that awaits? The Star Wars Cantina has nothing on the ensuing aberration of cross dressing troglodytes about to be thrust upon us.
Back in the mists of time, when schools still taught and didn’t indoctrinate, we were offered a Comparative Religions class as an elective. We were all shocked when we read through the Koran😳 (at that point, the only Muslim we knew was the former Casus Clay)🥊
In the context of the original post, yes. He said "at that point, the only Muslim we knew was the former Casus (sic) Clay". At that point Cat Stevens had never cut a record, definitely had not converted. I remember both conversions. I'm old enough to remember listening to Clay beat Liston on the radio so it's all within my era, maybe yours too. You are correct though that Cat's conversion was also long enough ago to qualify for "back in the mists of time". I'm literal-minded, sometimes too much so. Sorry, did not mean to offend.
You wouldn’t need to educate me, but thanks Eric. I’ve been warning about these invaders and their evil ways for years. Many low-information people won’t accept the truth even when you warn them. A niece was astounded that I’d say such things. She’s sure they’re just another branch of Christianity. This awful evil awaits us, because of the ignorance of our political leaders. They never should have been admitted into our society, knowing their intent, as we do.
You’re right. I heard Raymond Ibrahim on a podcast recently and just started listening to his book. Most Americans have no idea that the Muslim infiltration is just another form of jihad.
"The Cult of Christian Fundamentalism was begun by the British East India Company's servant, Darby, which will be misused to strengthen the Zionist State of Israel with identifying with the myth of 'God's Chosen People' and by donating substantial amounts of money to what they mistakenly believe is a religious cause in the furtherance of Christianity."
That's from those commercials? It was frequently uttered in one form or another by my reprobate uncle about the apparent ethnic or religious affiliation of whoever was impeding his progress in the left lane. Riding with him was wildly educational.
There’s no respect for the United States: just using our country to live here and work here to send money back to their homeland. It’s sad there’s so much hatred for our country that provides freedom, when freedom isn’t their endgame.
Many years ago, I read a book written by a Christ converted Muslim. He wrote that while the majority of Muslims are not radicals, over 80% would NOT report any activity perpetrated or planned by those who are radicals. Very telling.
I agree. But don't discount the fact that, just like many purported Christians, many westernized Muslims probably don't know their own scriptures. At all. But it won't take much to whip them up into a fighting frenzy, or the "christians" either, because at that point it becomes tribal and the people mass behind the god they are told is theirs.
Also, Eric, your link is particularly scary so why don’t more people get the message? I know they manage to get top positions in media, etc., so that could explain it.
But FIRST they take your money which is itself a form of violence. (I would add as a corollary that "there's no such thing as a peaceful Jewish Zionist".)

Mamdani Fulfills Our Forecast – Get Out of New York Before the Exit Tax Cometh
Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Ethiopia, Sudan (though many of them were named differently back when the invasion happened), and many others. Some successfully, others repelled the invasion.
No, more like the 8th, 9th, 10th centuries etc. They slowed down after the Crusades, and by the time of World War 1 Islam was no longer a really major military power.
No, it was very much the opposite. The Crusades were a reaction to the Islamic conquest of a large number of formerly-Christian countries and regions.
Islam itself doesn't appear to have been much of a "reaction" to anything, except perhaps against the pagan beliefs of the local Arabian tribes, who Mohammed preached monotheism to.
OTOH, if NYC becomes the US Mecca, a place for like minded Muslims to gather, then at least we have them all in one basket. Reduces the travel budget and time for FBI agents to monitor, infiltrate, etc.
Every religion goes through a militant phase 1000- 1500 years after its birth. The Crusades for example for western Christianity; Judaism under Saul, David, Solomon; but Islam has been militant since its inception.
Personally, I don't subscribe to any religion, though I surrendered to Christianity for about 20 years. Once I started asking serious questions it all melted away. (I'm woefully outnumbered here, so I almost never bring it up). There's enough God ordained violence to set me off on different paths. Our species as been abhorrently violent and destructive from the get-go.
Christianity is empty, legalistic, flat and ridiculous without a relationship with Jesus himself.
There are so many spiritless religions that require deep moralism but leave out personal relationship. Islam, for example, is intrinsically contradictory and immoral, yet is scrupulously followed without anything in return for the believers. They pray to a false prophet who was poisoned by a woman whose family he killed. He died unable to save himself or anyone else. Jesus died for us, giving us eternal life with Him through his death and resurrection. Our sins are forgiven and our debt is paid.
God isn’t astonished by our questions, objections, confusion or conflicts. He isn’t even surprised by our emotional distress and crises. He is full of wisdom and grace, and generously gives it.
Ask the hard questions again!
Tim Keller has a fantastic series about Job. Suffering and questioning are part of every spiritual journey. Nothing but our own finite and deceitful minds can stop us from finding true Peace. The God of the universe welcomes us as we are.
Yeah, the purpose of religion is to alienate people from divinity or source. I've come to understand that some people need it in order to understand it is real and some people might be better people because of it. But in general, it just stifles the quest for inner knowing and true understanding. I'm vastly outnumbered here as well. Mostly, Christianity for me is just "the devil I know".
Historically speaking, the Crusades were a response to Muslim aggression (though they undoubtedly went too far in many cases). The significant difference to consider is that the Bible, taken in context, isn't supporting of forced conversion through conquest; on the other hand, the Quran in context does support it.
(And this isn't to say that Christians always follow their own scriptures correctly, or that Muslims can't be peaceful and ignore the violent parts of the Quran.)
That’s great news. I’m in eastern WA and we do pretty well too, but the conservative school board candidate lost last night to the woke liberal. School boards are a hotbed of political ideology and must be cleaned up.
Re: "The wicked strut about on every side when vileness is exalted among the sons of men." Pretty accurate description of Mamdami and the other winners.
spouting bible verses as some sort of shibboleth against political opposition, is a sort of folly. It ignores that it was also written that one should yield to Caesar that which is Caesar's and to the lord that which is his. Meaning that God stays out of the governance of humans, and governance stays out of theology - unless you want an Islamic state here.
You are just so smart. You don't realize that folks like you who spout bible verse on a Substack website about politics are the reason the Lefties got so energized yesterday. You'll shit the bed again in the. Mid-terms.
If God stays out of the governance of humans, what then the conclusion of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to explain the judgment of the Lord against him:
“…to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men, and gives it to whom he will…” Daniel 4:17
Further, explain divine intervention throughout the entire Old and New Testament. If you have read it.
Unless you are reading the Hallmark Greeting Card version of the Bible - plucking verses out at random to create cute sayings.
Jesus quoted the Old Testament extensively, it contains hundreds of specific predictions of his life - and Jesus said, in reference to the Old Testament - that scripture cannot be broken.
As for Christ, the nations are his inheritance; he is the ruler of the kings of the earth.
If you want to yield to the likes of commie mammadammadingdong go right ahead. In fact, you should move to NYC if you are not already in that cesspool and then tell us how yielding works out for you. Would you like us to send you a prayer mat?
"...it was also written that one should yield to Caesar that which is Caesar's and to the lord that which is his. Meaning that God stays out of the governance of humans..."
Prove to me from Scripture that your interpretation of Jesus' declaration quoted is what He meant. Otherwise, your contention is vacuous.
When the Pharisees came to Jesus in Matt 21:15, He clearly understood their deceitfulness which began with flattery and then asking Him a question to entrap Him. The reality is that in Jesus' time, Caesar was god and ALL things belonged to him.
So when Jesus said “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s", He was committing sedition and treason against the Roman state and it is for that reason the Romans killed him.
Contrary to your statement, He now sits on His throne at the right hand of the Father as King of kings and Lord of lords having all authority in heaven and on earth as His body on earth makes "disciples of all the nations" as all are brought into subjection to God's law.
For the sake of discussion, I tend to think that Jesus' response here was cleverly avoiding the dilemma the Pharisees tried to set for him, of on the one hand openly advocating to disobey Caesar, and on the other hand to piss off the people by supporting the payment of the imperial taxes they hated. (Instead, he effectively said "you're using a coin with Caesar's face on it, so on what basis do you object when he demands you give him some of it?") Because you'll notice that later on before Pontius Pilate, the Jewish leaders tried to accuse him of sedition, but Pilate didn't find any grounds for it. But, being effectively a local autocrat, he eventually had Jesus killed anyway after his position was threatened ("You are no friend to Caesar!") because he didn't care enough about justice over his own security.
All that aside, it baffles me how somebody can come into the comments like this and forcefully opine about the "meaning" of the Bible without having even read it, let alone understood it in its context.
I don’t read scripture. That should be obvious, dolt boy. I won’t be “proving” anything to your from scripture. I just find it funny - and telling - that many folks on this Substack quote what they think of as definitive answers from a book, in English, translated from Greek, translated from Hebrew, translated from Aramaic, recorded over centuries from spoken myths … As though that human evolution of conveyed stories and ideas means something from God his own self.
Oh you were quite obvious. Yet you quote Jesus to support your vacuous assumption totally misconstruing His meaning. Is that the best support you have for your position, the quote of Jesus from Scripture which you simultaneously disavow as authoritative? Your own words contradict your position. Such poor befuddlement.
I didn’t quote Jesus. I’ve no idea what he might have said. I had a vague memory of the “render unto Caesar that which is ... “ admonition which I tossed in because I get tired of the sanctimony of bible thumpers acting like they, and they alone, have the truth.
You and the rest of the gaggle continue to prove my point. You are just too slow and convicted of your own righteousness to understand that.
It does not help that the Republican Party has decided to destroy the coalition it built to win the presidency. Too many Republicans are happy to lose to Dems as long as it means MAGA does not win. Where are the DOGE cuts? Why is Mayorkas still running around free? The young voters who came out in 2024 are turned off by the mantra "Israel is our greatest ally". Zionist Republicans are now the ones trying to use cancel culture proclaiming Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes are Hitler. Complain about Dems all you want, but Republicans need to get their own house in order.
I am catching hell because I’ve finally seen the unbalanced power Israel has over so many of our politicians. Not to mention the church beating the Israel is God’s chosen bs. I agree with those who are now saying aloud, “why the hell do we give Israel so much money” and watching the boot immediately come down on them…Tucker Carlson, Candace Owns, Megyn Kelly. I’m seeing clearly we are NOT ALLOWED to question Israel. I do not support ANY foreign government, and I certainly don’t observe hoards of foreign citizens being bullied into supporting USA.
Thomas Massie gave a really interesting interview on Tucker a while back, and shared the fact that every Congress person has their own individual “AIPAC guy”. (Israeli lobbyist ). That is what the congressman call them. And of course, they pressure the congressman to vote a certain way, and it is understood that if you don’t vote the way they want, big money will sweep in and primary you. Massie gets himself in trouble a lot by not automatically voting Israel’s way with every policy . His friends will say to him “ I’ll have my AIPAC Guy talk to your AIPAC guy”. Luckily for him he has very strong support in his state and negative campaigns against him have not yet succeeded . Even if you do support Israel, is this right? Should any foreign country have that much sway with our lawmakers? Imagine if it was another one of our allies. Would you even want England to command our legislators, or Canada, or Germany, or France ? I would not.
Criticizing is obviously allowed. Happens all the time. But of course push back & debate is also involved. Those that criticize seem not to like the pushback. But it’s how it works.
As I understand it, Christian Zionism is a product of dispensationalism, which is a belief of many evangelicals. It is not part of the canon of mainstream Christianity, aka "Lutherans, Methodists, Anglicans, Episcopalians and Catholics."
Evangelicals are very loud, that's why they seem to be the majority.
IMO Trump has contributed HUGELY to the divisions in MAGA. He has filled his admin with neocons (with the exception of Tulsi and RFK Jr) who seem to be calling the shots on foreign policy--at a time when most of the world is sick and tired of America's bullying and spreading death and destruction to those countries whose leaders refuse to become US vassals. Trump seems to crave sycophants and vassals. So, he attacks America Firsters Thomas Massie and Rand Paul but supports vile warmonger Lindsay Graham. He allows Kash Patel to block a comprehensive investigation into who all may have been involved in the public execution of Charlie Kirk (although CK loved Trump and played a huge role in getting him elected). Trump pretends there's nothing to see in the Epstein files. I still believe his intentions were good when he ran for president, but something has changed. Why is he so easily manipulated? Who/what is he afraid of?
Posts like this are what created a divide in our party at the WRONG time. Trump has information and insights the rest of us are not privy to. He hasn’t been wrong yet and I trust him more than anyone else in our party on either side of the Israel or Epstein issue.
You're definitely entitled to your opinion, but I think your confidence that Trump (who prides himself on not reading) has info we lowlifes aren't "privy" to is misguided. Since January, I have tried to ignore the dishonest, offensive things Trump says about foreign leaders and countries, in the hope that surely he cannot believe what he is saying, and waiting to see what he actually does. However, I can't pretend anymore. If you sincerely want to restore confidence in the Trump admin, press for an unbiased investigation into the public execution of Charlie Kirk. Blind obedience isn't a thing anymore.
AIPAC is the bribery operation... and a huge one... ADL is the provocateur, attacking those that do not bend over for the Zionist regime... Mossad is the dirty tricks/CIA type group, who did the Epstein extortion Operation that Trump seems to be ensnared in... and were behind the 911 attacks and likely the Charlie Kirk murder...
Jews have been a malignant cancer on any society they exist in.
Plus there has been a lot of press about the democrat party being neutered. I've always thought if traditional liberalism somehow faded away, and nature abhors a vacuum, that the socialist dimwits would take their place. This seems to be happening.
Yup. Three weeks before an election of national significance, the Israel-first crowd decided it was time to split the base in a purity purge. Denouncing Tucker Carlson became their most important cause.
Even if one gives these ideologues the benefit of the doubt (which you shouldn't) could they have picked a worse time? I think it was done on purpose to harm President Trump and more important JD Vance. The want Vance gone.
It didn't get much news at the time but a few weeks ago when Vance was in Israel he did something pretty historic and revealing. He didn't go prostrate himself at the wailing wall wearing a yamaka (which is supposedly the remains of the Jewish Second Temple) but instead visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre which tradition states is Jesus' burial place. The message was crystal clear, "I'm not Jewish but Christian, and Christ is my King".
This basic statement of Christian faith isn't allowed so Vance must be taken out. That's what this is about, and they are using Tucker and Kevin Roberts at Heritage as proxies. But fortunately we have Christ and the truth on our side.
I am beyond disgusted by the election results!!! 😡😡😡 Those tools and fools who voted for the extremist Democrats/socialists in NY, NJ and VA deserve to have their lives made a living hell, reaping what they’ve sown 😡
In my town, we have Rank Choice Voting. Over 7,000 ballots were deemed inactive because they didn’t rank every candidate. 7000 disenfranchised voters left without a voice. Not surprise that a Democratic Socialist is now Mayor. And our liberal elitist DEI town that cares so deeply for the poor and oppressed? They voted for every single tax increase on the ballot. And there were a LOT of them. We have a LOT of families on SNAP here. So much for caring about THEM. Shameful.
Yeah I’m not actually that surprised either. So many who are big on virtue signaling and making decisions based on emotions yet lacking in discernment.
What was Trump referring to when he posted “and so it begins”? My thoughts are that all the MidAtantic states (VA to NY) are now governed by Communists. The Trump Administration will need to get much more aggressive to fight off the Communists. Ex: ICE Deportations, Voting Laws, withholding Fed subsidies, law enforcement, etc.. a Civil War is getting real.
Some benighted fools have been coaxed by long indoctrination to imagine that more government can replace what God, church, family, and one’s own personal industry should create.
Of course, this idea only leads to slavery and tyranny.
I love you RL. You are one of my most favoritist C&C commentors. Please give a little grace in your heart for these poor deceived souls. The beast system is all they have known. We all come to the truth one way or another. Out of 8.48 million people, 1 million or so have chosen this fate for the rest. Guaranteed that of those that voted for their own destruction, most had no idea.
Thank you for your kind words. You’re right, I guess I need to give a little grace to those people in their echo chambers who don’t know anything else. My comment was fed by my frustration that those voters don’t get where this is leading—but I’m also aggravated by their arrogant condescension for anyone who tries to tell them differently. It’s like trying to talk sense into a know it all teenager 😕 The worst part is how they not only don’t see the potential consequences for themselves, but won’t consider that maybe they are wrong and their poor decisions will have a negative impact on a whole lot of other people. And then once those negative consequences occur, they’ll deny any responsibility. So, of course rinse and repeat ad infinitum. They don’t seem to ever learn and the rest of us are left holding the bag. I’m just sick and tired of it!
We are all sick and tired of it. The ire may be better aimed at the teachers, media, politicians, billionaire backers (notice how Bernie doesn't complain about millionaires since he became one?). Those are the people we look at and think "You have it pretty good. Why don't you help those young uns learn how to thrive instead of driving it down?" Is it because you are selling these places short? Do you benefit from the downfall of the 7.5 million that didn't vote for this lunatic you backed? It is difficult to show people they have been deceived. Only possible really if they know and trust you personally.
Oh believe me, my ire is aimed at them. But the other people don’t get a pass because they were manipulated or indoctrinated. At some point, it’s everyone’s personal responsibility to inform themselves and not depend on others to fill their brains.
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day,
and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can,
tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
* Fret and anxiety can ruin your life. You cannot be happy while fretting. Don’t let political worries overwhelm you. Read history. You will see the same anxieties throughout history. Those people are all dead as you will be. Do what you can to make a difference, but don’t stew in negativity. It can cause headaches, depression, strokes and other health issues. Live a good life and be your own best friend.
Please try to focus on the good things in life. Find uplifting things to read, go to museums or nature walks ~something that brings a bit of beauty and joy into your life each day. It takes time to overcome hardships, but finding positive things to focus on will help you through life’s challenges.
“Love yourself—accept yourself—forgive yourself—and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.”
It is important to bear in mind how powerful one’s inner thoughts can be.
The ministry of the Holy Spirit, taking of the things that are Christ’s and giving them to the believer, is far to be desired above mere happy self talk.
Pray for eyes of the deceived to be opened. For the progress of the gospel in the earth. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
It’s the Lord who places or removes a hedge of protection around a person or a nation - according to the honor & obedience they show to him.
World events are the outworking of sowing & reaping. What is done in secret will be shouted from the housetops.
“Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?”
Jesus told us not to fear those who can kill the body, but nothing else. Instead, to fear the One who can also cast the soul into hell. “I tell you, fear him.”
Did you ever wonder why no democracy has ever lasted throughout history? It’s a fact, but a fact too many people do not know or even ask. Plato lamented this issue and historians like Alexander Tytler connected the dots: it’s dependency on the government - that’s why democracies never last.
An ignorant electorate votes for more free stuff – but of course, they’re not the ones paying for free stuff, so they don’t think about it or care.
So, in VA, you have 57.5% voting for more free stuff, but the other 42.3% understand that the free stuff comes out of their paycheck, and no, we don’t want that. Too bad, mob wins.
And Jay Jones is now in charge of VA’s Dept. of Justice b/c 53.1% don’t care that he’s ok with violence against a political opponent. Don’t debate, just use ad hominem attacks or literally beat them up. That’s a good person to be head of the DOJ, right? Not according to 42.3% of the voters who said, no, we don’t want that. But oh well, b/c the mob rules.
You are right. Our founders understood the dangers of democracy, so they established a constitutional republic but that does not exist anymore. And, I'd argue that in 1913, a date that should live in infamy, was the beginning of the end of our republic with the 16th and 17th Amendments, as well as establishing a private banking cartel with the Federal Reserve Act.
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
Too many pushed out Our Lord.🕊️An informed and religious populace was one of the reasons the Founders set up the Government as they did. If everyone practiced the Golden Rule, everything in the Constitution would work. Now I see local D’s trying to rewrite our history in op-Ed’s by saying the Founders were not church goers😜
Republics are the most vulnerable, it appears. Consider all the elected "representatives" who are subject to corruption--and have demonstrated that they can be bought and/or blackmailed.
True. Neither is it in any way a democracy. The nearest thing there is to democracy in our country is the state referendum. Proof that we are nowhere near a democracy can be found in the fact that routinely these democratic referendums are overturned by 5 people.
I always give President Trump the benefit of being a few moves ahead of how the chessboard looks currently. Sometimes one sacrifices pawns for a checkmate. Right now, it looks to me that it may be the toughest game to win. The economic situation that the young, the indoctrinated, non-citizen voters are facing are easy targets for utopian promises of Marxism with the ultimate goal of global Islamist conquest.
I worked as an election judge yesterday, which means I spent the entire 13 hours paired with a Democrat. Often it's a moderate one, but this one was classic bleeding heart virtue signaling boomer dimwit. She bemoaned the state of the poor young people who 'can't get ahead', and I told her some of the malaise is of their own making. But later thinking about it, structurally the system is failing the under 40 crowd.
-Many hamstrung with student loan and consumer debt
-(due to illegals and now AI and automation) Wages and job opportunities are flat to declining, I actually see this too. Before he retired hubby actually made about the same as he did 20 years ago when you factor in the inflation rate. I am self employed and making less than I was pre-covid.
-Consumer driven society where everything is subscription based and the siren song of $5 coffees, Amazon click to buy 24/7 and a zillion ways to piss away your paycheck.
-Spending on pets has doubled in the last decade to average ~$2K per pet per year
-"Groceries" means buying prepared foods, processed foods and other quick and easy garbage means poorer health and bigger bills at the checkout.
-Health insurance and medical bills taking bigger and bigger bites out of paychecks.
-Cars and housing both unaffordable for those below the median income. (remember Cash for Clunkers that decimated the used car inventory? I would argue this still has a ripple effect)
Some of this is a choice/lifestyle factors. But the reality is life is becoming less affordable and the Republicans are not really offering any answers. DOGE was supposed to cut regulations, government bloat and spur economic growth. But it seems MIA in the discourse these days. The HC system is an expensive morass and no reforms are on the table. Illegals getting shipped out should help with pressure on wages and housing but it's slow going - 2 million deported but 20 million or more to go. Yes, some wins on the culture war front but other than a little sugar high, kitchen table issues are what drives voters. There needs to be an alternative to government is your sugar daddy solutions. And fast.
And... ban AIPAC and most if not all lobbyists, ban dual citizenship, place strict bans on all income sources for congress other than salary, for the duration of their service... all politicians should be prohibited from taking jobs in companies they had any oversight in... or especially in the MIC.
Might even help to keep politicians from serving so damned many terms.
And slash their budget for staffers… you only get one to help answer the phone and schedule stuff. Less staffers may lead to less complicated bills/laws.
My adult children can’t afford to buy a house partly because foreign investors buy them first, at 10% above asking price, and then turn them into rentals that cost more in rent than a mortgage payment would have been. I would love to see an immigration reform law that makes property ownership legal only for citizens. But at the moment, Congress is useless.
Agree - not just foreign investors. Look up American Homes4Rent and Invitation Homes. They are publicly traded and own upwards of 30,000 single family homes. Many of those 'cash buyers' are brokers who sell to investors like these. Something needs to be done for sure, just not sure what. Our HOA has banned sales to investors but from a municipality, or state statute standpoint I am not sure how you keep the vultures out in a free market. My son and his wife got lucky in 2021 and bid on a home where the seller stipulated no investors, she wanted to sell to a family, she had moved into a nursing home. It was very dated but had 'good bones' - they are still renovating, but had lost 10 bids before, most likely to 'cash buyers'.
You are not wrong. But all of these things take time to change. I think what the Biden administration did is easier and quicker-destroying things- then It is to build back and fix. Remember that it has been decades slowly moving away from our constitutional procedures that we are all hoping will be corrected. This takes time.
Agree. Just as tarriffs will take some years to bear fruit/reshoring. But the average voter is looking at their bills due this month. Too few think long term, including those in Congress.
IMO, the average voter is also VERY concerned with Trump's support of Israel's genocide, his extrajudicial murder of Venezuelan suspected "drug-runners" and his likely war on Venezuela for regime change and oil... his unprovoked bombings of Yemen and Iran, his support of the corrupt lice of Ukraine, which continues the killings there... and his continued harassment and sanctioning of Russia.
His refusal to released the promised Epstein, 911 and JFK files is appalling, but understandable, once we realize he is compromised and controlled by Zionist Israel.
Depends on which vegetables. Cabbage is pretty cheap for example. And steak isn’t exactly cheap protein. Lots of other cuts of beef are cheaper and chicken and pork are also less expensive.
But.... lots of people work, including married couples with kids. They're tired when they get home. There are days when cooking from scratch-- if they even can-- is a bit too much. You have to be creative to cook good meals with cheap ingredients, and at this point, many people are just tired and want to eat.
Great points. It will take a lot to undo all of that. And having Democrats as well as some RINOs fighting it every step of the way certainly doesn’t help 😕
and I hope their lives are SAD since they voted for this shit. They will be living with their parents for life or only able to rent with 30 roommates. no car, not able to vacation and will sink into septic tank living. Good!
Islamic conquest is a legit concern... but keep in mind, we as a country are already riddled with the cancerous influence of Zionist Israel... the scum of the earth.
Jeff. Someone in the administration reads your stuff. You should be encouraging the administration to go full pedal to the metal. Trump needs to fire every non essential employee. Why are they messing around with this?
Trump talks a good line but he really needs to pair that with quick decisive actions. Trolling the dems does nothing except whip them up.
And yes, he needs to beat up the somnolent GOP. The filibuster as it stands now is stupid. The senate are a bunch of morons full of thunder and absolutely no lightning. In 36 days, they’ve confirmed like 6 judges? BFD. They should have been moving with speed on things that only required 51 votes.
I will NEVER understand not showing up to vote. I vote religiously in every election but it's frustrating because the Left is "all politics, all the time" and now we are forced to be the same. It's not a great way to be as a culture.
It has gotten that way because people on the right are feast or famine types. If their candidate wins they assume all is well. That's when the elected politician knows, just like a child who was good in the morning, as soon as the parent gets distracted the child will dive into what they can get away with; politicians should never be fully trusted.
When you said " ... now we are forced to be the same.", it says it all. Anything worth having is worth the cost of maintaining and protecting.
I always show up to vote, but I understand people who figure "Why bother, the election is going to go THAT way anyway." In CA, they count the mail in votes for 3-4 weeks after election day, then magically something that passed or didn't pass reverses depending on what the people in charge want. If CA has 83% Democrat "representatives" when only 45% of the people are registered Democrat, where is the representation for everyone else?
If the elections are rigged, and it can only be that some are because otherwise reversing results that win by 1% makes no sense at all, then why bother voting?
But the biggest problem? Decent people with brains don't want to be in politics for the most part. They just want to live their life in peace, own a house, raise a family and pass it on.
Redux: Muslims winning elections in this country? What the hell is wrong with people? Muslims cannot and should not be trusted to do anything but follow the tenets of Islam. Thanks Bath House Barry.
I hate the filibuster, and I don’t care which side it benefits, it should be illegal because it’s just a way to prevent meaningful discussion and then action.
There’s both benefit and risk to it, which is why the party in power hates it and the other side does not. I’m not saying it’s good or bad, I’m just saying the Republicans can eat their cake and have it too w the right strategy. Enough is enough. End the filibuster. End the shutdown. Codify legislation. And decide from there.
Los Angeles artist Tish Hyman has gone viral after claiming she was terminated from Gold’s Gym for confronting staff when a man entered the women’s locker room while she was undressed.
Hyman — a lesbian who explicitly said she is not transphobic — described feeling “violated and unsafe” after the incident and posted an emotional video (instagram link below) explaining her side. The clip has over 19,000 likes and reignited a national debate over women’s privacy vs. transgender inclusion.
BTW most news coverage about this fail to mention that Tish Hyman is a lesbian.
And so $&$#* what? No one cares. Virginia just elected a mother who is fine with men in her daughter’s locker rooms and rapists in female locker rooms.
I’m convinced that the only factor that has opened a window of hope for this country is the earnest prayers of the righteous, humbling themselves before God almighty.
Charlie Kirk also saw this in the 2024 election.
It doesn’t do our country any good to be fat & happy, yet forget the Lord. Blessings in the material are not to be sought in themselves - but the kingdom & glory of God.
Yay I am glad she was terminated. she loves trans and all the lgbtq, then buck up and get used to what you support. I want her to feel violated and unsafe like what other women have felt and she did not give a crap until it happened to her. good. karma is a bitch tish. how does she like those policies now?
The RINO’s will not vote to end the filibuster because they have no plan and will have no legislation that they would implement to make America Great again. They all secretly hate Trump and the filibuster removal would exposed their complicity with the Democrats
Exactly. The “RINOs”. Most of them are actually Democrats in disguise. We DO have Republicans that are patriots and want the MAGA agenda, but when the other half of your party are RINOs, then you only control 1/4 of Congress.
We also must have voter ID. And frankly, this push to register every breathing body with an address has to stop. Most people won't vote and yet if they are registered, their names and/or addresses can be used to ghost vote. Or whatever the term is. Someone else can vote in their place, and with all the mail-in and absentee options, it's not hard to pretend to be who you are not.
I don’t understand why if Jay Valentine has the answer to so many things his ideas never get anywhere to anyone important enough to do anything about it. If he’s right, I’d love to see someone with connections get him to some congress people who could move on his ideas. They’re wasted floating around in cyberspace.
Well ... The polls about last night were wrong ... Again. And With a sample size as large as last nite (NY, NJ, VA) , I don't think it can any longer be said that, "well, not all democrats believe this". A sample size this large indicates a majority mindset shift.
And in NY what you are seeing is also immigration without assimilation. So I do not think there will be "buyers remorse", this is a trend in the Democrat party. So If you call yourself an "old school" democrat, realize, that concept no longer exists. If you're in it, you own it.
Exactly. You vote for anti woman, pro illegals, pro violence, pro “free stuff” and “rules for thee but not for me” you deserve everything that comes from those ghouls and their policies.
I just hope NYC becomes an example and not a trend. What a mess
New York could implode and disappear into a gigantic Democrat sinkhole and the Media would never report it. Get ready for the greatest Media gaslighting of all time during Mandami’s tenure. He will run for President at some future time. Alas, America, we hardly knew ye.
Mandami can't legally run for Pres, as he is a recent immigrant and not a natural-born citizen. Not that that will stop him from trying.
It didn't stop Barry Soetoro.
Speaking of Barry, the arc of both is setting up to be the same. And conservatives, MAGA mustn't get played like they did by Barry.
To wit, here's the challenge of his victory, the "but he's a Communist who will destroy NYC" outrage factory R's relied on to attack him: whatever he does to destroy NYC won't be immediate. It will be time-delayed bombs, seemingly small, at critical places. Sitting, unexploded. For a relatively long time.
Overstating the damage those bombs will cause in the short-term will run into credibility issues. And voters who hear the doom and gloom will see things appearing normal on the surface and say we were full of hot air. Come to believe Socialism/Communism isn't as bad as we say it is. Lost credibility.
The damage will come when those little bombs explode a few years down the line. Maybe not even until his term(s) in office are over. Much like what the Obama administration did. The ramifications of Obamacare, centralization of health care decisions (top-down, one-size-fits-all pandemic infrastructure), changes to Smith-Mundt propaganda, many low-intensity policy decisions/battles not having effect until the Trump/Biden/Trump administrations. And then it's too late to reverse course easily.
Maybe some in this readership are familiar with the WWII movie "Force 10 From Navarone." The climactic scene where the charges placed inside the dam explode and nothing happens. Leading to frustration by the US/UK special ops team that their efforts were for not. Meanwhile, the demolitions expert sat patiently, unfazed, calmly sayng "Let it take it's time, nature will work, gravity works slowly." And he was right. The dam came down.

(climactic scene clip at timestamp)
That's what Barry did. That's what Mamdani will do. THAT is what we must defend against, attack against. Shrill cries that the sky will instantly fall in NYC will ruin our credibility. And then the bomb will go off, doing its work slowly.
Wondering if the Hawaii dept. of health is going to find a birth certificate for Mamdani...
That is true and accurate. The Kenyan may be on very thin ice...
You stole my thunder. LOL
When has following the law been a hindrance to Democrats doing whatever they want? If Mandami wants to run, they will make it happen, one way or another.
Right?? And all while they bleat “no one is above the law” 🙄🙄🙄
Neither was Obama or Kamala.
Since when is "legality" applied to politics?
huge difference between legal and lawful...
Maybe the endgame is to expose and depose... Lawfully
saw a report on Substack yesterday that Goldman Sachs is building an 800,000 sq. ft. facility in Dallas & that chase has more employees in Dallas than NY - the rest of Wall Street soon to follow? So Texas will have the energy and financial capitals of the world in the not too distant future
Texas is the new capital of India.
Yes, it's that bad.
Visit any Costco in DFW.
I can vouch for this! We've traveled the country full time for the last 5 years and have marveled at the wide variety of offerings at Costco stores in differing regions. When we returned to DFW this time, I was shocked to see how much of the stock matched what we'd seen on the east coast - a much higher percentage of options geared towards middle eastern and Indian populations.
Austin for sure
For what it's worth, economist Martin Armstrong has said that the financial markets are moving to FL and TX.
just saw an update - additionally Wells Fargo is building a 22 acre campus in Dallas and Charles Schwab has moved from Calif. to Dallas
They already have started
The Muslims have Texas in their sights as their next conquest. Texas better pay attention.
Muslims especially like Texas as the terrain and weather is somewhat like the countries they are from, so they feel more "at home" there.
I’ve heard the same. They were talking about it yesterday on news.
Attorney Cox says, " Apparently Texas has surpassed New York as the largest base of its workers with 30,000 employees now based down there. That’s just one example, there are others, and many more will follow." In this article, https://open.substack.com/pub/attorneycox/p/buckle-up-america-you-aint-seen-nothin?r=2c9g6j&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
This brings to mind that scene from The Planet of the Apes, where the leaning and tarnished Statue of Liberty is seen just over the horizon…
NYC will soon turn to sh*+.
That thought sickens me. : (
it should... fear not the good guys prevail
The left doesn't want a king, they want a sultan.
Seems like the left want to be told what to do and how to think, and they want endless free stuff.
Legacy media most likely will not report it.
Legacy media - when you control the (false) information, you control everything.
We need to stOp calling it Legacy and call it the Floundering Fake Media - FFM
(((who))) controls the media?
I simply call it 'the old media'
I think its past tense by now. Do people really believe in the legacy media anymore?
are you making the strong case NEVER to watch or listen to the
fake news echo chamber? Was that different 35 years ago?
That is true but so what?? The fake news has been exposed, thoroughly.
Have not "tuned in" for decades. Alt. media is the news.
Requires Knowledge, Some Wisdom, and hopefully Discernment.
I do not give voice to undesirable outcomes.
That is "programming"...
Like Portland…
The Uniparty and other bad actors will fund Momsdummy and his agenda via the usual backdoor methods to make him look like a success.
I know this had to happen but the consequences will be horrific. GOD will deal with them just as HE did Sodom and Gomorrah. Actions have consequences. When you as an individual support evil, your hands are just as dirty and your soul is just as evil. This is and has always been a spiritual battle. Each of us has to decide who we will follow. GOD or the enemy, satan. They decided. GOD is fulfilling HIS promises of exposing things done in the dark to the light which is truth
Here’s some solid advice. Don’t vacation there.
I wonder if TRUMP is contemplating selling his soon to be govt run housing...?
Reminds me of that scene in Dr Zhivago when the Dr returns to the grand house that he used to visit in Moscow (was it his wealthy wife's childhood home? ) and it had been turned into an apartment building, a low income cooperative...for the unwashed peasants. .."Power to the People" and all that!
I think he already has.
Unless you bring your prayer rug...
Was that comment for Portlanders? 😎
🤣 Thanks for the laugh, I needed that!
Judges 19 all over again.
Deuteronomy 23 also. The last half.
And church people have been taught that “……all THAT was nailed to the cross.”
Such ignorance.
It is GOOD vs EVIL. The contrast is clear, but the blind will not see.
Or don't want to see it.
I have several friends, Californians no less, who’ve been hardcore democrats their entire lives. They are turning independent or republican. I have been sounding the clarion call for the past three years to them. It’s finally sinking in. Only one of five voted yes on Prop 50. I’ve been calling DSA members communists for those three years (longer, but for them, it’s been three), and one of them, again someone who’d considered himself progressive, admitted that I was right. Hopefully, it’s not too late.
Exactly. Let everything be exposed to the light so that all will see the truth despite all attempts of the MSM to cover it up.
I got myself in trouble on Facebook for sharing my opinion about the person at the table next to us at dinner the other night. It was a blatant display of affection (petting, under the table, etc.). I said I was tired of the Drag Queen-supposed-to-be-accepting mentality. The nastiness that followed was unprecedented… about what a terrible person I am. I unfriended three "friends", not friends. I don’t believe God wants us to pretend it’s normal.
“And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Joshua 24:15
God also appoints every king every leader. Even the evil ones. One thing I can never understand
Free will. God allows us to live with the consequences of our actions. He also will relent if we repent and turn back to Him.
There are other inhabited planets that don't have free will.
When a people reject God as king, he raises one up to teach them a lesson. He gives them what they want; to use a modern idiom, "enough rope to hang themselves."
Absolutely!
And will use everything meant for Evile for good. 💟
One of the few comments here that has given me peace and hope today. 💕
Maybe Deuteronomy 23 will help you understand.
God “allows” people to choose evil leaders or kings and it’s happened repeatedly through history. He doesn’t place evil in power.
You are suggesting that "they" decided in some unmolested way.
The "they" who decided are unlikely to be the voters.
In any case fear not the god of this world has been defeated.
The republicans better get their shit together and pass major federal voter reforms. The fraud and illegal voting is bad enough. The Islamization of the US has hit stride- witness Europe and U.K. these animals must go or they will carve up your grandchildren after they’ve raped them. NYC will be a Failed shithole full of jihadists ready to roll through your backyard. Trump needs mass deportation and the Muslim ban outright
The problem is that the Rs benefit from the fraud as well.
During the Jill Stein recount in 2016 in MI, I ran across a witness to the recount. The fraud was on the part of the poll workers; they deliberately miscounted the ballots in favor of Hillary.
The "outsider nerd" governor had the poll workers "get more training."
He could be doing mass deportation right now but he’s not. He’s only going after the criminal illegals. That’s better than nothing but that’s not what he’s been campaigning about for the last 9 years.
first the most dangerous, incentives to self deport are "huge"
Consequences for declining are severe...
Amen!
Agree. They need to stew in their own rot and not export it. Maybe we should build a wall 😑
Agreed. Old movie “Escape from New York”
Good old Snake Plissken!
One of my favorites. : )
Can one be built around California also? Just let me escape first…
Let's give New York to England.
So long NYC. You get what you pay for. Couldn’t be happier for all of you low information voters.
I actually hope it disappears from the map.
It and CA.
At least the rotten parts of CA.
For sure. CA is 40% Republican. We must get it all back.
Rotten: SF, LA, Sacto, Santa Cruz, San Jose. What's left?
never california
I fully agree but I also am very realistic and I see this becoming a trend. If so we wont be able to stay in our state long term.
basic Biology, Adapt, Migrate, or... perish
has never been different, chose wisely
Too bad. Nice weather there.
We leaned before that hope is not a valid course of action.
This thread has gotten so long, I can’t tell if I used the words. Your point is well taken. Hope is not a throw away word. I will be more conscious.
well what they are doing doesn't work well in the majority of the states and with the majority of Americans so I hope they stay on this road - it will be the end of the democrat party - thankfully
I pray you're correct.
San Fransicko did that years ago. Cancer spreads.
💯
So does the full armor of god include ar ten’s and thousands of rounds of ammunition greased with bacon fat?
Bizarre happenings. Safeguards apparently not in place.
Vote theft has several options apparently.
🙌👍
Henceforth, I’m renaming them Depend-ocrats because they’re all looking for some sort of government hand-out and have become totally dependent on Uncle Sam, AKA, the American taxpayer.
Depend-ocrats and Gimmegrants, what a waste of life
And thus the need for Depends. They can’t handle daily life.
That fits them perfectly!!
I just wish we could pass a law that now NO ONE is allowed to move out of NYC!
The most important law that should be passed is a Federal law that forbids ANYONE not born in the United States from seeking ANY political office.
And NO DUAL CITIZENSHIP holder can be in ANY position of political power. If you can’t commit to the USA you do not deserve a place at the table to effectively our laws.
Great idea, Mary! But it will never happen because, if you haven't noticed, the entire system is BROKEN. That's not just me being sarcastic. It is broken! And no longer works as designed because of the communist infiltration which has been supported by untold millions of dollars quietly placed in off-shore accounts as well as all sorts of other bribes; thus, spoiling the entire process. But we can all keep pretending - until the entire process totally collapses overnight, which I believe will soon come to pass.
Amen to that!!!!
Ted Cruz would vote against that law.
And:
Michael F. Bennet: Born in India, represents Colorado, serving since 2009.
Mazie Hirono: Born in Japan, represents Hawaii, serving since 2013.
Tammy Duckworth: Born in Thailand, represents Illinois, serving since 2017.
Bernie Moreno: Born in Colombia, represents Ohio, serving since 2025.
Chris Van Hollen: Born in Pakistan, represents Maryland, serving since 2017.
They are not deserving to live in America and need to be repatriated.
🙌👍
I have to disagree on this one. There are a lot of good people in New York. Many of them have money, too. I hope they do leave and take their money, businesses, and conservative ideologies with them. Leave New York in the hands of the idiots who elected Muslimdami and let them choke.
I recall when Rush Limbaugh moved from NY to Fla he was harassed for years by NY “officials” for tax evasion etc, as they said he “really” still lived in NY. 🤦🏻♀️✊🏼🇺🇸
Didn’t Mamdani threaten to tax any businesses that try to leave if they do any business in NY? He’s threatening them to fall in line. I’d take ALL my business away from NY after a threat like that.
The mayor can’t raise taxes.
I read that somewhere too.
Another example of changing definitions to suit their purposes 🙄
I read once there’s an IRS office in Florida with the sole mission of investigating the New Yorkers moving to Florida.
@Carol- they did the same to Tom Golisano, too.
I looked him up, what a nice man🇺🇸
We recently visited our daughter in the Lincoln Park area of Chicago. Chicago has been blue forever and run as many Democrats run cities, two separate worlds; the haves and the have nots. Our daughter’s neighborhood was nice, (expensive), 3 story walk ups. They are populated by young, single professionals and young upwardly mobile families. The streets are shaded and people friendly. My daughter says she walks the neighborhood block every night and is not afraid. What I did not see after attending a street fair with her is #1 upwardly successful Blacks. Not a Black face did I see. #2 Muslim or Islamic, Middle Eastern faces. The faces were predominantly White with eastern Asian thrown in. I was surprised by this. On the way to the airport leaving, I could tell immediately when we had left this safe area.
It’s been that way forever except now the south and west-siders sometimes invade the loop and north Michigan Avenue to commit crime.
We were just in Portugal and noticed the same. It was a sea of white faces and very safe. The only weirdness was awful graffiti everywhere.
If there were that many "good" people in nyc, mammadammadingdong would not have won.
The stupids in federal government will give NY money, hence we will pay one way or the other. It’s all rigged.
Why would Trump do this?
DJT knew what has occurred was coming. He has already stated that he will not approve funding the rot.
FYI JD Vance caught a long time SS food inspector (yesterday) adding something to DJT's meal. That person has been fired.
Those of us in the south have seen our states turn purple due to those escaping high taxes but bringing their politics with them. Make NY, PA, and NJ own it!
The liberals are locusts. They flee the destruction, and then destroy the new place they live.
Perfect analogy
Same with the west and people fleeing CA! You can take The Californian out of California, but you can’t take the California out of the Californian.
Beg to differ...some of us left our home in California and escaped to other states and ended up being more conservative than the native born...Texas and Arizona come to mind. Why do you think liberals find it so important to infect (teach) your children...
I know it’s not every Californian but many a states have been harmed by the influx of CAs. They fled but ruined our Town/ State by turning it into what they fled. That’s my experience.
question is %, Some of you are likely a very small %
Left CA 35 years ago... could see it coming then
exactly
Truth is not everyone holds the same politics. Not all CA or NY are bad
“all” is an absolute, so of course it’s not all. But we generalize based on high percentages and often are right in making those assumptions about good and bad.
an accurate assessment, not 100%, but accurate
that is exactly why Paxton of Tx is imposing a massive "tax" on NY'ers attempting to migrate to Tx
Agreed, don't want them scurrying to better states and bringing their sick dem ideology with them to infiltrate other states.
Democrats fleeing their failed Blue states are an invasive species and should be treated as such. The destruction they wreak — economic and otherwise (driving out locals with increasing housing prices) — is like a cancer in conservative communities. Their moral rot is difficult to defend against. That said, conservative voter turnout in all local races should be 100%, for everything from City Council and school boards to dog catcher. Shame on everyone who didn’t take the time and effort to vote, we are never going to bolster our policy gains unless we vote in people who will defend them.
invasive species, perfect description.
Oh just wait. I’m sure its coming.
I have already contacted my gov and asked him to think of a way to block them and bringing this to the attention of the local repub club. these parasites can't be tolerated in red states.
They can move out of NYC, just not into a red state.
Thankfully, I live in a red state with blue cities that is seen as "very unappealing."
Notice that ALL “red states” have “blue” large cities. By design for voting purposes. (IMO)

re: "The inexperienced muslim socialist got more than 1 million votes for mayor, a benchmark not met since 1969."
Really? According to who? The NY criminals who counted the election? They used mail in ballots. How can they prove who received their ballot, voted the ballot and returned the ballot when they don't ever establish end to end chain of custody of the ballots claiming it is too expensive. If it is too expensive to establish end to end chain of custody - as they do for walk in voters - it is too expensive to allow mail in ballots to be used.
In the redo of the Jail District election which I forced on our county by winning the lawsuit I brought against them, as of right now, they are claiming 10800 YES votes to 10070 NO votes - out of a total of approximately 88,000 Voters - they claim only approx 21000 bothered to vote - even though they claim voters really love mail in voting. It was a one issue ballot again, nothing else on it. Yes, "Our" county also uses mail in ballots, for 27 days with no end to end chain of custody, no identity and violate the AZ and USA Equal Protection Clause as well as other parts of the AZ Constitution. They have no way of proving that any of the "mail in" voters even got their ballots, let alone voted and returned them. But they will still "certify" the election, when they "canvass".
Lets not also forget their claimed "victory" is only about 51.9% which is far under the Constitutional requirement passed in Arizona in Nov of 2022 which states that for all tax elections, a super majority of 60% is required. They claim they don't have to follow that Constitutional requirement.
My point is that we are governed by people who don't give a damn about our Constitutional protections - you know - the "Supreme Law of the Land", in fact they overtly and covertly, ignore them, daring us to take them to court where they will use our own tax dollars and a corrupt judiciary to ensure we have no chance. Some will say, but you won Dan... yes I did, it was extraordinary and a one off event, no one in AZ ever having won an election contest lawsuit. I submit it was God who used me as an instrument of His Will, not me.
And so they redid the "s_Election" yesterday - claiming they would follow the law - they did not - and got nearly the identical result and are daring anyone to challenge their result. Such is the situation we find ourselves in across the country.
And until we get rid of mail in ballots, we will continue to have the same outcomes.
re: "We’ll need a very smart strategy next year." End no excuse mail in balloting and machine counting by corrupt gov. Elections are supposed to be of, by, and for the Citizens, not of, by and for the government. They've stolen our elections from us, we need to take them back.
I was just wondering about all the numbers of votes never seen before. Sounds to me like the illegal benefits, payments, free health card etc were successful. We better get these people off the voter rolls before midterms or we as Republicans are cooked.
No doubt thousands of illegals, or the NGOs who support them, voted fraudulently by mail in ballot.
Oh I’m sure you’re right Dan. However, there is definitely also a non negligible element that enthusiastically eats up the whole leftist agenda and has so much TDS it will reflexively embrace anything that is the opposite of Trump and MAGA.
And they embrace - and conduct - wholesale mail in ballot fraud to have their way. They know it is the only way they can "win" elections.
Let me ask you something RL, are you at all disturbed by what President Trump and his administration has accomplished? I'm not, not one damn thing am I upset or mad about. In fact, everything he is doing, is precisely, exactly what I voted for. Does anyone else, except for TDS lunatics believe otherwise (the lunatics make up about 30% or less of the population?) I think not. So, why would voters not show up? If they "showed up" with mail in votes is it at all possible those votes were not counted or perhaps traded out? Not only possible, but likely. It is just too easy and again, they have a corrupt government and judiciary to protect them. Now we will hear for the next year how the lunatics are ascendant, supercharged and there will be a blue wave. Of course there will be a blue wave - it will be manufactured with wholesale mail in ballot fraud.
I am also happy with what he’s done but I don’t think there are that many in NY and northern VA at least who share our point of view. I would venture to guess that the TDS proportion in those areas is much higher than the 30% you cited.
Oh I agree, I was stating the nationwide 30% TDS retards.
Running Logic… the problem is Soros paid for communism infiltrated the U.S. for decades, the documentary “Enemies Within” is critical to understand this, and like cancer, communism spreads with flowery promises of “hope and change” that our low information population and “immigration without assimilation”:illegals vote for…. https://youtu.be/abI2wIuRJ58?si=flUSKiLSkMiDK4Zt
yes indeed. we see the low information ID 10 T voters out here a lot!
I was in NYC last month. My son and his fiancé live there (required for current jobs, but they own a home here in FL and plan to move soon). We saw tons of young people there making the most of the good the city offers, but they live on a razor's edge, constantly avoiding crazy people on the subway, beggars, petty and serious criminals, sky high prices, sky high taxes, etc. Young people are very mobile and flexible. It won't take much in terms of higher taxes, less policing, more discrimination against white people for many of the most productive to pick up and go to Miami, Texas, Tennessee, or back to their some towns.
Oh dear no ..if they voted for all this crap they cannot move to somewhere else. Please no !!! Live with it. If you voted for this Muslim Communist stuff then it’s your responsibility to stay and vote your way out if it. Don’t ruin life for the rest of us which is exactly what Californians did to Oregon and may other states. !!!!
The good people have been voting correctly, but the lunatics are cheating their way into unstoppable corrupt power.
I’m wondering……is there another Civil War on the horizon?
I’m starting honestly to hope so. Something has to change.
There does seem to be a deep divide that can’t be resolved 😕
How else are we going to get rid of the tyrants who force on us the bullshit "s_Election" results?
And increase in prices for utilities, since we have to go green in N J
Assuming there was not widespread voter theft.
If it was a "fair" election the deranged deserve their fate...
What this implies for the midterms is another wildcard.
Now he has to produce a truckload of promises we know he can't produce... Time to pop the corn and lift our eyes heavenward.
He can fail and not fulfill any of his promises. The Dems don't care. They will blame Trump for their failures as they always have and they'll vote once again for the socialist/communist.
Yes they will vote again for him. Because he has such a friendly smile.
Exactly. I just posted that same thought. . They don’t care!
I heard this morning on RAV that only 12% of New Yorkers came out to vote.
If they did not vote to oppose the trash, then they approved it.
Absolutely!
How many checks can The Open Society and Tides Foundations write to Mayor Mamalamadingdong, to fund his "free stuff"?
These days with USAID in the toilet, I'm not really sure billionaires are willing to cough up their own cash. It's going to be a rough ride for NYC.
Bingo, they only want to use OTHER people’s money 😡
"Mamalamadingdong"...priceless!!
I call him Mundungus..... the thief in Harry Potter
Yes!!
The open society is run by a penultimate Wall Street trader who likes to use “other people’s money” and I would expect the puppet masters behind mamdami to pilfer taxpayers rather than self fund the crazy. This is going to be about wealth transfer, but will be hard to hide, except from the NYTimes of course.
It is about wealth transfer which means private ownership of, well anything, is dead. So perhaps it is time to redefine what wealth means.
Because look at the ‘class’ Zohran comes from in his country of origin Uganda? It’s not the ‘poor class’.
Thanks, Roger, you made me laugh! Mamalamadingdong! I love it. There was an old song with the line “oh, mommy, I ain’t no commie” and I’ve been singing to that tune, “mamdani, he’s a raghead commie…”.
Not many unless and until their Democrat benefactors regain national power and turn the spigot back on. The only way I see to stop that is for Congress to act now. But that is very, very, very unlikely.
Yes, this!
This guy has never lived on his own, has never held a job, has never been a manager of anything or anyone. He doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground. And he's about to find out the hard way. But the problem is obama, hochul, Soros, and many others are standing by waiting to be the one to run the city.
The interesting thing is going to be watching those people and others wrestling for control of New York City because Mamalongadingdong is going to get really bored with the day-to-day paperwork and management issues that any City requires. Like so many Democrats he just wanted the title. He didn't really want to do the work. That's what we had with Obama and that's what we're getting with this clown.
Amazing that it's happening in New York city. Atlas shrugged indeed.
Yep, he with the help and ‘caring’ of the Muslim Brotherhood are going to create a very large enclave in NYC, probably strategically so.
This reminds me a lot of Zelensky the comedian becoming the president of Ukraine and Biden’s reign as the prez.
So, he's Barack Obama 2.0?
Well said!
Well said.
Yep where are those new taxes going to come from?
The left won’t see it either way. All they know is they won. Seriously they don’t give a shit because it doesn’t affect the majority of them financially or physically with their armed guards and walls and a ton of money. Who cares… bring in communism as they will benefit.
Should we remind them of the French Revolution. 🤣😉
Mark 13… it’s gonna get ugly!
Yes it will.
Spot on. Moderate DODO democrats have engineered their own extinction. Demographically Obsolete Democrat Oafs: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/dodo-democrat-extinction
Yup oafs is right. Just voting for the person with a D by their name no matter how immoral or idiotic they are 😡
D or R...they're just party animals...
Pretty much two sides of a coin.
Like the crashing of the White population - both parties are pushing it.
Donkeys and elephants partying on…
Yeah, dude...
No we don’t all do that.
True! Look who his opponents were!! It was no contest. Just like when McStain ran against the Kenyan.
When Desantis was elected FL was apparently +300k Dem & now its +1.4M GOP - the difference moved in from places like NYC/NJ etc which will sink deeper - forcing more people to leave for places like FL...
That’s part of the problem. The Rs fled from NY, so the %age of crazy libs exponentially increased. It’s their bed. I hope they enjoyed lying in it.
It’s really just the stinking Boroughs - mainly Manhattan. My solution is split Manhattan, Brooklyn and Bronx off; call that “state NEW YORK. Rename the rest of the geographic area the State of Upstate…that’s what EVERYTHING north of the Bronx is referred to anyway. A TWO STATE solution that USA needs.
Illinois south of Chicago has tried to do this too.
…so has Atlanta suburbs..
Never happen - it’s been talked about forever here in Cali and it won’t ever happen either!
Kurt Russell made it out………
Sadly a lot of democrats moved too, I'm surrounded by them now.
Ugh 😕
60% of NY voters were non-native - confirms the democrat replacement strategy is working - at least in deep blue areas
Others were imported from other states. For the day.
wouldn't be surprised as there is no check whatsoever in NY for someone's ability to legally vote - so even illegals get to vote
Yup.
Can enough illegals be concentrated in several urban states to eventually provide an insurmountable electoral college majority? 7 to 10 states provide a Democrat win?
that is what the electoral college was designed to prevent - and why democrats want to do away with it
I would argue that, as long as illegals are counted in the census, it may be possible to cram enough illegals into urban areas of enough states to skew the electoral college and also provide a forever majority in the House.
America should remain a mostly Euro-settled land.
That's what made it great.
Not 3rd worlders. They can't even make their own countries great.
Yep. But it's actually worse than that. It's the camel's nose under the tent. Do Americans really want non-citizen Muslims in charge of their cities and deeply committed, not to American, but to their countries of origin? Apparently Democrats will do anything to stay in power. And this not only troubles me - it scares the H3LL out of me!!!
What is happening in locations like New York City, New Jersey, Virginia, and California is that, even though the governance gets worse and worse the further left the Democrats go, the people who would be willing to vote GOP for a change have moved to red states. Some of those internal migrants are solid Republican voters but many are left leaning independents who, once they reach a better governed polity, keep voting for Democrats.
They complain about taxes and cost of living, and then vote in people who raise taxes and increase the cost of living 🤦♀️. When the wealthy flee, there is no one left to blame tax but the middle and lower classes. Midwits electing midwits. It’s hard to watch a sinking ship.
They said over 50% of NY are now immigrants but they didn’t clarify how many are illegal or are first generation who came unwilling to assimilate. Technically we are ALL immigrants so NY is literally 100% immigrant, as is every other city, but when you look at what percentage are not native born here and how many in NY are first generation immigrants, and how many are illegal, that makes me think that’s what the 50% is referring to. It’s like the Somalians in MN, and the Muslims in TX. They did not come here to be “America”, they came here to replace America with their own country/culture.
Don’t forget Dearborn MI
Agree. When severely outnumbered, it's flight, not fight.
"White Flight" has now become "Right Flight."
Foundation being laid through ballot hijinks, illegals voting and Media gaslighting for a future President Mandami.
I saw a tik tok of a young man who said he’d just arrived in NY and voted for Mamdamni six times. SIX TIMES. Not sure I’m buying the whole “voter turnout” thing.
I don’t.
Please God, no.
Yep, all those leftist women that wear their "Handmaid's Tale" outfits during protests are going to wish they had that outfit instead of their future Burqa.

Poor Herald Ford and John Fetterman. Their party is lost.
Assuming the results were above board. As usual voters were shut out from voting in key precincts. There is no "old school" democrat. There are patently insane loyalists.
The results were as expected. Time to kill the fillibuster.

Heartiest congratulations and Mazel Tov to New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. We are proud to endorse you and look forward to your leadership, vision, and collaboration for the betterment of our community and all New Yorkers!
The congrats of a totally corrupt, slimy and malignant gang of Zio-pigs.
No surprise.
Sorry but..., Bahahahhahahahaha!!!!!!!!
Not surprised in the least.
I'm gonna catch hell for this: There’s no such thing as a peaceful Muslim. A Muslim purporting to be peaceful is either clinging to a watered down Muslim Lite version of the text, has a select knowledge of the text based on preferential “verse cherry picking”, has absolutely no idea what’s in the text, or is lying (which is perfectly acceptable, by the way). One thing is for certain: New York City is ground zero - and safe haven - for the continued Muslim world takeover. (see Europe) This is a flat out invasion. "Now, this is our time.".....yes, I suppose it is.
https://thereligionofpeace.com/
I think most people have never heard of taqqiya, nor have any idea of its meaning.
On the extreme - but very real - end of the spectrum, "forced conversion" to Islam under threats of being beheaded seem a bit disingenuous, at best. What kind of god wouldn't see through the ruse? It's not spiritual, it's not religious, it's subjugation.
It’s easy to think that Islam is not a religion because of the results it creates in its wake. Slavery and misogyny and destruction. Religion is best defined by what people believe they must DO to get to Heaven or Nirvana or whatever it is in the afterlife. False religions which are all except faith in Christ alone, are demonically inspired. Satan and his demons are being unleashed in blue cities in our country. Europe is all but lost to it. Nigeria. All false religions bring destruction. Only the true religion brings peace. And it’s really not a “religion” since religions are man-made. But instead we are at peace through a “relationship” with the Creator God the Lord Jesus Christ. And without it, you’re in the hand of the destroyer, regardless of the religion.
Actually, it’s slavery, especially for women.
Livestock are held in higher regard.

I wrote this up thread as well.
Islam is a whole life system. So is Judaism.
As for the attitude of both religions towards "the other," the Talmud seems to state that if a person of Jewish descent kills a gentile, they are exempt from capital punishment.
https://www.chabad.org/torah-texts/5458278/The-Talmud/Sanhedrin/Chapter-7/57a
The Talmud is an anthology of Jewish writings over a few thousand years. It is not a roadmap for faith. That would be the Torah, which somehow never gets mentioned, quoted or linked by antisemites.
There is no comparison between Judaism and Islam.
Islam; the religion that calls for killing those who reject it, the covering of women from head to toe, total control of the movement and actions of women, stoning for nonviolent crimes and offenses (like adultery and homosexuality), pleasure preventing sexual mutilation of girls, cruelty to dogs and other animals—what’s not to love for AWFLS and AWMLS?
Are you aware of any of these extreme practices in Judaism these days, shibumi? It’s very OT stuff. Not so with Islam.
And in the talmud it states that gentiles with their bodies will descend into Gehinnom and are judged for 12 months. After 12 months their bodies are destroyed and their souls burnt and scattered by a wind under the soles of the feet of the righteous. from Mal. iv.3.
London, Paris, New York takes on a whole new meaning.
My file of places not to visit is getting pretty thick.
Good luck to NYCs LBQWERTY population! (who probably all voted for him)
If they’re as dumb as the one I saw interviewed the other day who declared she didn’t care that Palestinians would kill her if she went there, she still supported them because “it’s the right thing to do” 🙄 Yeah easy to say when you’re miles and miles away 🙄
I saw that too! Stupidity has no bounds 🤯
At this point, I don't give a crap what happens to any of them. As far as I am concerned, nyc is extinct.
More rats than people, and nearly indistinguishable.
I will take the rats any day. They have a higher IQ and more integrity.
Imagine the freak show that awaits? The Star Wars Cantina has nothing on the ensuing aberration of cross dressing troglodytes about to be thrust upon us.
We’ve experienced this (from neighbors). Zero trust.
Just looked it up 🤯
Back in the mists of time, when schools still taught and didn’t indoctrinate, we were offered a Comparative Religions class as an elective. We were all shocked when we read through the Koran😳 (at that point, the only Muslim we knew was the former Casus Clay)🥊
and Cat Stevens.
And Lou Alcindor, whoops I mean Kareem Abdul-Jamar.
I'm pretty sure his conversion came much later than Casius's.
does it matter when?
In the context of the original post, yes. He said "at that point, the only Muslim we knew was the former Casus (sic) Clay". At that point Cat Stevens had never cut a record, definitely had not converted. I remember both conversions. I'm old enough to remember listening to Clay beat Liston on the radio so it's all within my era, maybe yours too. You are correct though that Cat's conversion was also long enough ago to qualify for "back in the mists of time". I'm literal-minded, sometimes too much so. Sorry, did not mean to offend.
no worries at all! enjoy your evening, see you tomorrow.
You wouldn’t need to educate me, but thanks Eric. I’ve been warning about these invaders and their evil ways for years. Many low-information people won’t accept the truth even when you warn them. A niece was astounded that I’d say such things. She’s sure they’re just another branch of Christianity. This awful evil awaits us, because of the ignorance of our political leaders. They never should have been admitted into our society, knowing their intent, as we do.
The result of the failure to teach anything of importance in the .gov school system......by intent.
And the constant shrieks of “Islamophobia” whenever anyone voices any criticism at all.
Also the ignorance of so many progressives who don't understand they're next on the block.
You’re right. I heard Raymond Ibrahim on a podcast recently and just started listening to his book. Most Americans have no idea that the Muslim infiltration is just another form of jihad.
Yes, a form of Muslim Lite. We are all "infidels" and "wrong doers."
Much like the jews opinions of all "goyim".
Per the talmud and vile swine like Bibi, Givr and Smotrich.
Muslim Brotherhood created by the British Empire and US.
Sounds like gain of function.
Now here is again of function.
"The Cult of Christian Fundamentalism was begun by the British East India Company's servant, Darby, which will be misused to strengthen the Zionist State of Israel with identifying with the myth of 'God's Chosen People' and by donating substantial amounts of money to what they mistakenly believe is a religious cause in the furtherance of Christianity."

You should actually read the Bible instead.

Ahhhhhh, to be lulled to sleep by a melodic call to prayer...
I recall those RAID commercials...
That's from those commercials? It was frequently uttered in one form or another by my reprobate uncle about the apparent ethnic or religious affiliation of whoever was impeding his progress in the left lane. Riding with him was wildly educational.
"The only good bug is a dead bug."--RAID
So that's where my uncle got that! Thanks. To me, a tech writer and editor, RAID = Redundant Array of Independent Disks. Nerd stuff.
The best Muslim is an ex-Muslim.
Because they have no fear and will never shut up about the truth.
It truly boggles my mind that America has learned nothing from watching jihadist disaster in the UK & the EU. SMH.
Apathy.
*Some* Americans haven’t.
There’s no respect for the United States: just using our country to live here and work here to send money back to their homeland. It’s sad there’s so much hatred for our country that provides freedom, when freedom isn’t their endgame.
Many years ago, I read a book written by a Christ converted Muslim. He wrote that while the majority of Muslims are not radicals, over 80% would NOT report any activity perpetrated or planned by those who are radicals. Very telling.
Yeah, because if they were to be found out they'd be chopped to bits.
The point: Regardless of whether a Muslim perpetrates radical activities or not, the majority are on the same page.
I agree. But don't discount the fact that, just like many purported Christians, many westernized Muslims probably don't know their own scriptures. At all. But it won't take much to whip them up into a fighting frenzy, or the "christians" either, because at that point it becomes tribal and the people mass behind the god they are told is theirs.
I don’t discount that at all. Christians have bombed as many hospitals as they have built. Anyone can be worked into a fervor. Humanity has problems.
The Xtians who bomb hospitals don't generally do it for religious reasons, though equally idiotic ones.
Also, Eric, your link is particularly scary so why don’t more people get the message? I know they manage to get top positions in media, etc., so that could explain it.
The human mind is confusing, convoluted and oftentimes nonsensical, indeed. A great mystery never to be adequately unraveled.
You are correct sir. The plan was hatched LONG ago.
Goodbye my dear West. It was fun while it lasted. Those not of that persuasion, and those who are, have no idea what lies ahead for them.
But FIRST they take your money which is itself a form of violence. (I would add as a corollary that "there's no such thing as a peaceful Jewish Zionist".)

I recommend Did Muhammad Exist? by Robert Spencer. A fascinating look at the origins of Islam.
Yeah, he was hardly godlike.
Biglino's "The Naked Bible" is a good read for christians...
Which countries have been invaded by Muslims? Not the phoney ones that we create for that purpose.
Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Ethiopia, Sudan (though many of them were named differently back when the invasion happened), and many others. Some successfully, others repelled the invasion.
In the last century? When was the last?
No, more like the 8th, 9th, 10th centuries etc. They slowed down after the Crusades, and by the time of World War 1 Islam was no longer a really major military power.
It seems that Islam was a reaction to western imperialism like the Crusades.
No, it was very much the opposite. The Crusades were a reaction to the Islamic conquest of a large number of formerly-Christian countries and regions.
Islam itself doesn't appear to have been much of a "reaction" to anything, except perhaps against the pagan beliefs of the local Arabian tribes, who Mohammed preached monotheism to.
Don’t be stupid, Bard.
Invasions? Why, they’re ongoing…open borders, assisting migrants, asylum seekers, etc., are the new names for invaders.
Off topic.
All but the first one.
OTOH, if NYC becomes the US Mecca, a place for like minded Muslims to gather, then at least we have them all in one basket. Reduces the travel budget and time for FBI agents to monitor, infiltrate, etc.
Every religion goes through a militant phase 1000- 1500 years after its birth. The Crusades for example for western Christianity; Judaism under Saul, David, Solomon; but Islam has been militant since its inception.
Personally, I don't subscribe to any religion, though I surrendered to Christianity for about 20 years. Once I started asking serious questions it all melted away. (I'm woefully outnumbered here, so I almost never bring it up). There's enough God ordained violence to set me off on different paths. Our species as been abhorrently violent and destructive from the get-go.
Christianity is empty, legalistic, flat and ridiculous without a relationship with Jesus himself.
There are so many spiritless religions that require deep moralism but leave out personal relationship. Islam, for example, is intrinsically contradictory and immoral, yet is scrupulously followed without anything in return for the believers. They pray to a false prophet who was poisoned by a woman whose family he killed. He died unable to save himself or anyone else. Jesus died for us, giving us eternal life with Him through his death and resurrection. Our sins are forgiven and our debt is paid.
God isn’t astonished by our questions, objections, confusion or conflicts. He isn’t even surprised by our emotional distress and crises. He is full of wisdom and grace, and generously gives it.
Ask the hard questions again!
Tim Keller has a fantastic series about Job. Suffering and questioning are part of every spiritual journey. Nothing but our own finite and deceitful minds can stop us from finding true Peace. The God of the universe welcomes us as we are.
Sorry to ramble my unsolicited thoughts..
Yeah, the purpose of religion is to alienate people from divinity or source. I've come to understand that some people need it in order to understand it is real and some people might be better people because of it. But in general, it just stifles the quest for inner knowing and true understanding. I'm vastly outnumbered here as well. Mostly, Christianity for me is just "the devil I know".
Historically speaking, the Crusades were a response to Muslim aggression (though they undoubtedly went too far in many cases). The significant difference to consider is that the Bible, taken in context, isn't supporting of forced conversion through conquest; on the other hand, the Quran in context does support it.
(And this isn't to say that Christians always follow their own scriptures correctly, or that Muslims can't be peaceful and ignore the violent parts of the Quran.)
While most Dems won in bigger blue states races, our small town in WA removed 3 of the 5 liberals and is showing some hope to be more conservative.
That’s great news. I’m in eastern WA and we do pretty well too, but the conservative school board candidate lost last night to the woke liberal. School boards are a hotbed of political ideology and must be cleaned up.
That's good news! Thanks for sharing.
Yes!! Thanks for sharing that bit of good news!!

“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in the safety for which he longs.”
The words of Yahweh are pure words;
As silver tried in a furnace on the ground, refined seven times.
You, O Yahweh, will keep them;
You will guard him from this generation forever.
The wicked strut about on every side
When vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

Re: "The wicked strut about on every side when vileness is exalted among the sons of men." Pretty accurate description of Mamdami and the other winners.
Amen Janice! Perfect for today!
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
Plenty of vileness has been exalted
The last two lines of this verse especially.
Amen!
Thank you Janice, I needed that passage today ❤️
Believers are stuck between trying to talk sense into people and “don’t throw your pearls before swine.”
“I will set him in the safety for which he longs.”
spouting bible verses as some sort of shibboleth against political opposition, is a sort of folly. It ignores that it was also written that one should yield to Caesar that which is Caesar's and to the lord that which is his. Meaning that God stays out of the governance of humans, and governance stays out of theology - unless you want an Islamic state here.
"God stays out of the governance of humans" . . . tell me you haven't read much of the Bible without telling me you haven't read much of it.
You are just so smart. You don't realize that folks like you who spout bible verse on a Substack website about politics are the reason the Lefties got so energized yesterday. You'll shit the bed again in the. Mid-terms.
Spouting Bible verses on substacks is what makes lefties believe communist lies. Really?
Telling the truth makes people believe untruths. Uh huh.
Anyone who reads the Bible is not inclined to be overly upset by the apparent successes of the wicked.
We read the end of the book.
Didn't feed the animals. Now we know who those are.
THIS is how you respond? Oh, poor you.
If God stays out of the governance of humans, what then the conclusion of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, to explain the judgment of the Lord against him:
“…to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men, and gives it to whom he will…” Daniel 4:17
Further, explain divine intervention throughout the entire Old and New Testament. If you have read it.
Unless you are reading the Hallmark Greeting Card version of the Bible - plucking verses out at random to create cute sayings.
Jesus quoted the Old Testament extensively, it contains hundreds of specific predictions of his life - and Jesus said, in reference to the Old Testament - that scripture cannot be broken.
As for Christ, the nations are his inheritance; he is the ruler of the kings of the earth.
Obviously you lack understanding of the whole.
Obviously, you are a dupe. Your sort are the reason the Dems won bigly yesterday.
If you want to yield to the likes of commie mammadammadingdong go right ahead. In fact, you should move to NYC if you are not already in that cesspool and then tell us how yielding works out for you. Would you like us to send you a prayer mat?
"...it was also written that one should yield to Caesar that which is Caesar's and to the lord that which is his. Meaning that God stays out of the governance of humans..."
Prove to me from Scripture that your interpretation of Jesus' declaration quoted is what He meant. Otherwise, your contention is vacuous.
When the Pharisees came to Jesus in Matt 21:15, He clearly understood their deceitfulness which began with flattery and then asking Him a question to entrap Him. The reality is that in Jesus' time, Caesar was god and ALL things belonged to him.
So when Jesus said “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s", He was committing sedition and treason against the Roman state and it is for that reason the Romans killed him.
Contrary to your statement, He now sits on His throne at the right hand of the Father as King of kings and Lord of lords having all authority in heaven and on earth as His body on earth makes "disciples of all the nations" as all are brought into subjection to God's law.
For the sake of discussion, I tend to think that Jesus' response here was cleverly avoiding the dilemma the Pharisees tried to set for him, of on the one hand openly advocating to disobey Caesar, and on the other hand to piss off the people by supporting the payment of the imperial taxes they hated. (Instead, he effectively said "you're using a coin with Caesar's face on it, so on what basis do you object when he demands you give him some of it?") Because you'll notice that later on before Pontius Pilate, the Jewish leaders tried to accuse him of sedition, but Pilate didn't find any grounds for it. But, being effectively a local autocrat, he eventually had Jesus killed anyway after his position was threatened ("You are no friend to Caesar!") because he didn't care enough about justice over his own security.
All that aside, it baffles me how somebody can come into the comments like this and forcefully opine about the "meaning" of the Bible without having even read it, let alone understood it in its context.
I don’t read scripture. That should be obvious, dolt boy. I won’t be “proving” anything to your from scripture. I just find it funny - and telling - that many folks on this Substack quote what they think of as definitive answers from a book, in English, translated from Greek, translated from Hebrew, translated from Aramaic, recorded over centuries from spoken myths … As though that human evolution of conveyed stories and ideas means something from God his own self.
Oh you were quite obvious. Yet you quote Jesus to support your vacuous assumption totally misconstruing His meaning. Is that the best support you have for your position, the quote of Jesus from Scripture which you simultaneously disavow as authoritative? Your own words contradict your position. Such poor befuddlement.
I didn’t quote Jesus. I’ve no idea what he might have said. I had a vague memory of the “render unto Caesar that which is ... “ admonition which I tossed in because I get tired of the sanctimony of bible thumpers acting like they, and they alone, have the truth.
You and the rest of the gaggle continue to prove my point. You are just too slow and convicted of your own righteousness to understand that.
Watch out for pride and all that.
That's interesting. You quote Him without knowing who you are quoting. Interesting....
Could be anti semantic.
It does not help that the Republican Party has decided to destroy the coalition it built to win the presidency. Too many Republicans are happy to lose to Dems as long as it means MAGA does not win. Where are the DOGE cuts? Why is Mayorkas still running around free? The young voters who came out in 2024 are turned off by the mantra "Israel is our greatest ally". Zionist Republicans are now the ones trying to use cancel culture proclaiming Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes are Hitler. Complain about Dems all you want, but Republicans need to get their own house in order.
I am catching hell because I’ve finally seen the unbalanced power Israel has over so many of our politicians. Not to mention the church beating the Israel is God’s chosen bs. I agree with those who are now saying aloud, “why the hell do we give Israel so much money” and watching the boot immediately come down on them…Tucker Carlson, Candace Owns, Megyn Kelly. I’m seeing clearly we are NOT ALLOWED to question Israel. I do not support ANY foreign government, and I certainly don’t observe hoards of foreign citizens being bullied into supporting USA.
Thomas Massie gave a really interesting interview on Tucker a while back, and shared the fact that every Congress person has their own individual “AIPAC guy”. (Israeli lobbyist ). That is what the congressman call them. And of course, they pressure the congressman to vote a certain way, and it is understood that if you don’t vote the way they want, big money will sweep in and primary you. Massie gets himself in trouble a lot by not automatically voting Israel’s way with every policy . His friends will say to him “ I’ll have my AIPAC Guy talk to your AIPAC guy”. Luckily for him he has very strong support in his state and negative campaigns against him have not yet succeeded . Even if you do support Israel, is this right? Should any foreign country have that much sway with our lawmakers? Imagine if it was another one of our allies. Would you even want England to command our legislators, or Canada, or Germany, or France ? I would not.
Criticizing is obviously allowed. Happens all the time. But of course push back & debate is also involved. Those that criticize seem not to like the pushback. But it’s how it works.
Once you see it.... you can't unsee it.
As I understand it, Christian Zionism is a product of dispensationalism, which is a belief of many evangelicals. It is not part of the canon of mainstream Christianity, aka "Lutherans, Methodists, Anglicans, Episcopalians and Catholics."
Evangelicals are very loud, that's why they seem to be the majority.
IMO Trump has contributed HUGELY to the divisions in MAGA. He has filled his admin with neocons (with the exception of Tulsi and RFK Jr) who seem to be calling the shots on foreign policy--at a time when most of the world is sick and tired of America's bullying and spreading death and destruction to those countries whose leaders refuse to become US vassals. Trump seems to crave sycophants and vassals. So, he attacks America Firsters Thomas Massie and Rand Paul but supports vile warmonger Lindsay Graham. He allows Kash Patel to block a comprehensive investigation into who all may have been involved in the public execution of Charlie Kirk (although CK loved Trump and played a huge role in getting him elected). Trump pretends there's nothing to see in the Epstein files. I still believe his intentions were good when he ran for president, but something has changed. Why is he so easily manipulated? Who/what is he afraid of?

Same with Tucker Carlson
Indeed. It shows his lack of character and he's also a registered FARA.
Posts like this are what created a divide in our party at the WRONG time. Trump has information and insights the rest of us are not privy to. He hasn’t been wrong yet and I trust him more than anyone else in our party on either side of the Israel or Epstein issue.
You're definitely entitled to your opinion, but I think your confidence that Trump (who prides himself on not reading) has info we lowlifes aren't "privy" to is misguided. Since January, I have tried to ignore the dishonest, offensive things Trump says about foreign leaders and countries, in the hope that surely he cannot believe what he is saying, and waiting to see what he actually does. However, I can't pretend anymore. If you sincerely want to restore confidence in the Trump admin, press for an unbiased investigation into the public execution of Charlie Kirk. Blind obedience isn't a thing anymore.
That tiny little country the size of NJ in the middle east. That's who he's bowing to. The better question is WHY?
If you were knowledgeable, you would know how absurd it is to claim that any American administration is or has bowed to Israel.

Where are the Doge cuts? Look up doge.gov. As Elon told Rogan recently - Doge continues to do its work, media it seems has moved on.
But they only clawed back $9 billion.

Another source. https://x.com/doge
Proof?
Doge has made a lot of wild claims.
Plus there has been a lot of press about the democrat party being neutered. I've always thought if traditional liberalism somehow faded away, and nature abhors a vacuum, that the socialist dimwits would take their place. This seems to be happening.
Yes. The Socialists and Leftists were motivated to get out the vote. The Republican Party was too busy trying to destroy itself.
Yup. Three weeks before an election of national significance, the Israel-first crowd decided it was time to split the base in a purity purge. Denouncing Tucker Carlson became their most important cause.
Even if one gives these ideologues the benefit of the doubt (which you shouldn't) could they have picked a worse time? I think it was done on purpose to harm President Trump and more important JD Vance. The want Vance gone.
It didn't get much news at the time but a few weeks ago when Vance was in Israel he did something pretty historic and revealing. He didn't go prostrate himself at the wailing wall wearing a yamaka (which is supposedly the remains of the Jewish Second Temple) but instead visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre which tradition states is Jesus' burial place. The message was crystal clear, "I'm not Jewish but Christian, and Christ is my King".
This basic statement of Christian faith isn't allowed so Vance must be taken out. That's what this is about, and they are using Tucker and Kevin Roberts at Heritage as proxies. But fortunately we have Christ and the truth on our side.
Christ is King.
Exactly. Timing is everything and while these are worthy issues to debate this was the WRONG time to do it. Our party sabotaged the election

I am beyond disgusted by the election results!!! 😡😡😡 Those tools and fools who voted for the extremist Democrats/socialists in NY, NJ and VA deserve to have their lives made a living hell, reaping what they’ve sown 😡
In my town, we have Rank Choice Voting. Over 7,000 ballots were deemed inactive because they didn’t rank every candidate. 7000 disenfranchised voters left without a voice. Not surprise that a Democratic Socialist is now Mayor. And our liberal elitist DEI town that cares so deeply for the poor and oppressed? They voted for every single tax increase on the ballot. And there were a LOT of them. We have a LOT of families on SNAP here. So much for caring about THEM. Shameful.
Rank Choice Voting is a scam to help R’s lose🥺
It’s worked in California, we’re circling the drain.
Huge scam.
this is starting to sound like a preamble for a U-Haul commercial.
Nard, how can you live there? It must be unbearable.
It’s kind of awful. If my kids weren’t married to men rooted here, I’d be back in Florida faster than a finch on French fry!
Oh Nard, I am so sorry:{
It’s disgusting 😡
I am disgusted and not surprised. I was hopeful. Just sucks to see us failing. 2A
Yeah I’m not actually that surprised either. So many who are big on virtue signaling and making decisions based on emotions yet lacking in discernment.
Patience grasshopper. It will happen.
Yeah I am being patient but I can still recoil in disgust at who these voters have shown themselves to be.
Worth a listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ke-WtnEXsPI History is inevitable and the reason it repeats is that man never changes/learns.
I hope. We hope.
What was Trump referring to when he posted “and so it begins”? My thoughts are that all the MidAtantic states (VA to NY) are now governed by Communists. The Trump Administration will need to get much more aggressive to fight off the Communists. Ex: ICE Deportations, Voting Laws, withholding Fed subsidies, law enforcement, etc.. a Civil War is getting real.
I think he was responding to Mamdani’s acceptance speech, where he threatened Trump. But it also includes what the Democrats are trying to do …
I agree.
Utterly predictable and predicted.
Some benighted fools have been coaxed by long indoctrination to imagine that more government can replace what God, church, family, and one’s own personal industry should create.
Of course, this idea only leads to slavery and tyranny.
I agree wholeheartedly. And block any of their residents moving or having second homes in red states.
Holy mother of God Virginia!! Why switch horses in the middle of the stream?!
I love you RL. You are one of my most favoritist C&C commentors. Please give a little grace in your heart for these poor deceived souls. The beast system is all they have known. We all come to the truth one way or another. Out of 8.48 million people, 1 million or so have chosen this fate for the rest. Guaranteed that of those that voted for their own destruction, most had no idea.
Thank you for your kind words. You’re right, I guess I need to give a little grace to those people in their echo chambers who don’t know anything else. My comment was fed by my frustration that those voters don’t get where this is leading—but I’m also aggravated by their arrogant condescension for anyone who tries to tell them differently. It’s like trying to talk sense into a know it all teenager 😕 The worst part is how they not only don’t see the potential consequences for themselves, but won’t consider that maybe they are wrong and their poor decisions will have a negative impact on a whole lot of other people. And then once those negative consequences occur, they’ll deny any responsibility. So, of course rinse and repeat ad infinitum. They don’t seem to ever learn and the rest of us are left holding the bag. I’m just sick and tired of it!
We are all sick and tired of it. The ire may be better aimed at the teachers, media, politicians, billionaire backers (notice how Bernie doesn't complain about millionaires since he became one?). Those are the people we look at and think "You have it pretty good. Why don't you help those young uns learn how to thrive instead of driving it down?" Is it because you are selling these places short? Do you benefit from the downfall of the 7.5 million that didn't vote for this lunatic you backed? It is difficult to show people they have been deceived. Only possible really if they know and trust you personally.
Oh believe me, my ire is aimed at them. But the other people don’t get a pass because they were manipulated or indoctrinated. At some point, it’s everyone’s personal responsibility to inform themselves and not depend on others to fill their brains.
Trump is busy supporting people like Lindsay Graham so the swamp remains alive and well!
Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day,
and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can,
tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterdays.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
* Fret and anxiety can ruin your life. You cannot be happy while fretting. Don’t let political worries overwhelm you. Read history. You will see the same anxieties throughout history. Those people are all dead as you will be. Do what you can to make a difference, but don’t stew in negativity. It can cause headaches, depression, strokes and other health issues. Live a good life and be your own best friend.
You don’t know how badly I needed to hear this today. 😭
I screenshot to reread. Life is hard right now and about taking me out. 😞
Please try to focus on the good things in life. Find uplifting things to read, go to museums or nature walks ~something that brings a bit of beauty and joy into your life each day. It takes time to overcome hardships, but finding positive things to focus on will help you through life’s challenges.
“Love yourself—accept yourself—forgive yourself—and be good to yourself, because without you the rest of us are without a source of many wonderful things.”
~ Leo F. Buscaglia
It is important to bear in mind how powerful one’s inner thoughts can be.
The ministry of the Holy Spirit, taking of the things that are Christ’s and giving them to the believer, is far to be desired above mere happy self talk.
Thank you. That’s how I have made it this far, but … today I am struggling.
Pray for eyes of the deceived to be opened. For the progress of the gospel in the earth. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
It’s the Lord who places or removes a hedge of protection around a person or a nation - according to the honor & obedience they show to him.
World events are the outworking of sowing & reaping. What is done in secret will be shouted from the housetops.
“Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?”
Jesus told us not to fear those who can kill the body, but nothing else. Instead, to fear the One who can also cast the soul into hell. “I tell you, fear him.”
Fear of the Lord is freedom from every other.
Amen.
Susan, I love this little prayer in Psalm 38:9, in the NLT translation:
“You know what I long for, Lord; You hear my every sigh.”
Jesus understands.

Did you ever wonder why no democracy has ever lasted throughout history? It’s a fact, but a fact too many people do not know or even ask. Plato lamented this issue and historians like Alexander Tytler connected the dots: it’s dependency on the government - that’s why democracies never last.
An ignorant electorate votes for more free stuff – but of course, they’re not the ones paying for free stuff, so they don’t think about it or care.
So, in VA, you have 57.5% voting for more free stuff, but the other 42.3% understand that the free stuff comes out of their paycheck, and no, we don’t want that. Too bad, mob wins.
And Jay Jones is now in charge of VA’s Dept. of Justice b/c 53.1% don’t care that he’s ok with violence against a political opponent. Don’t debate, just use ad hominem attacks or literally beat them up. That’s a good person to be head of the DOJ, right? Not according to 42.3% of the voters who said, no, we don’t want that. But oh well, b/c the mob rules.
History has shown us that no democracy lasts:
https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/history-tells-us-that-democracies?r=76q58
Its NOT a democracy, it's a Republic - BIG DIFFERENCE!
You are right. Our founders understood the dangers of democracy, so they established a constitutional republic but that does not exist anymore. And, I'd argue that in 1913, a date that should live in infamy, was the beginning of the end of our republic with the 16th and 17th Amendments, as well as establishing a private banking cartel with the Federal Reserve Act.
Furthermore, we did not listen to Brutus (aka Robert Yates) who warned us of all the problems that happen when establishing a centralized federal government and Brutus was Right About Everything: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/get-in-the-ring-alexander-hamilton?r=76q58
Given our current welfare state, we are well on our away to a Democratic Socialist state. Enter Mamdani.
“If you can keep it” 😕
And we didn't keep it.
It's gone.
We faced tyranny before, so we don’t have to take it. We are Americans, damn it!
What if we could amend the Constitution to get rid of most of the federal government so it performs the one function that our original constitution created - to protect us, not take care of us: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/a-modest-proposal-when-the-war-drums?r=76q58

Not ready to give up on it quite yet.
Sunny Side Of Life
There’s a dark and a troubled side of life
There’s a bright and a sunny side, too
Though we meet with the darkness and strife
The sunny side we also may view.
Keep on the sunny side alwys on the sunny side
Keep on the sunny side of life
It will help us every day it will brighten all the way
If we keep on the sunny side of life.
The storm and its fury broke today
Brushing hopes that we’ve cherished so dear
Cloud and storm will in time pass away
The sun again will shine bright and clear.
Let us breathe with a song of hope each day
Though the moments be cloudy or fair
Let us trust in our Saviour away
He keepeth everyone in his care.
Philippians 4:8 (ESV)
"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."
❤️❤️❤️
We are here for a reason & must answer to God.
Too many pushed out Our Lord.🕊️An informed and religious populace was one of the reasons the Founders set up the Government as they did. If everyone practiced the Golden Rule, everything in the Constitution would work. Now I see local D’s trying to rewrite our history in op-Ed’s by saying the Founders were not church goers😜
100% - I had to know – what was the offensive prayer in Engel v. Vitale (1962):
"Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our Country." That’s it!
And it was not mandatory. Students were allowed to leave the room, should they elect to do so, but not Steven Engel.
Republics are the most vulnerable, it appears. Consider all the elected "representatives" who are subject to corruption--and have demonstrated that they can be bought and/or blackmailed.
Term limits: why was this left out??
It was in America's first constitution but Hamilton argued against putting it in the "new" constitution, thus giving us nepo babies from career polititians like Joe Biden: https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/how-does-a-life-long-career-public?r=76q58
Fascinating details, thank you.
Hamilton was an elitist.
Liz presents a logical argument against your "it's a republic" claim...
Our Constitution IS a Republic. Our practice of and adherence to it is not.
True. Neither is it in any way a democracy. The nearest thing there is to democracy in our country is the state referendum. Proof that we are nowhere near a democracy can be found in the fact that routinely these democratic referendums are overturned by 5 people.
History has shown us that nothing lasts. Even the Roman Empire did not last.
True, and Trump is starting look like Caesar Augustus - who did usher in the Pax Romana...
One can hope.
Well what about Ozymandias…
Where is all the free stuff we give with our taxes to run the wars.
The refugees whom we created get it when we bring them to the US and they pay us back by not assimilating into western culture.
Simple
No wars no refugees.
No taxes.
Works for me!
We should at least get a tax cut for the one month the government was not in operation.
weakness begets more wars.
All wars are bankers wars going back to the Bank of England $$.
Including Russia's wars?
Fascinating...
Don’t forget sending a lot of what they earn back to their home countries. How much does this amount to…. Billions.
Yes. It’s called blowback.
I always give President Trump the benefit of being a few moves ahead of how the chessboard looks currently. Sometimes one sacrifices pawns for a checkmate. Right now, it looks to me that it may be the toughest game to win. The economic situation that the young, the indoctrinated, non-citizen voters are facing are easy targets for utopian promises of Marxism with the ultimate goal of global Islamist conquest.
Offering free stuff always wins with people that are lazy or stupid.
I worked as an election judge yesterday, which means I spent the entire 13 hours paired with a Democrat. Often it's a moderate one, but this one was classic bleeding heart virtue signaling boomer dimwit. She bemoaned the state of the poor young people who 'can't get ahead', and I told her some of the malaise is of their own making. But later thinking about it, structurally the system is failing the under 40 crowd.
-Many hamstrung with student loan and consumer debt
-(due to illegals and now AI and automation) Wages and job opportunities are flat to declining, I actually see this too. Before he retired hubby actually made about the same as he did 20 years ago when you factor in the inflation rate. I am self employed and making less than I was pre-covid.
-Consumer driven society where everything is subscription based and the siren song of $5 coffees, Amazon click to buy 24/7 and a zillion ways to piss away your paycheck.
-Spending on pets has doubled in the last decade to average ~$2K per pet per year
-"Groceries" means buying prepared foods, processed foods and other quick and easy garbage means poorer health and bigger bills at the checkout.
-Health insurance and medical bills taking bigger and bigger bites out of paychecks.
-Cars and housing both unaffordable for those below the median income. (remember Cash for Clunkers that decimated the used car inventory? I would argue this still has a ripple effect)
Some of this is a choice/lifestyle factors. But the reality is life is becoming less affordable and the Republicans are not really offering any answers. DOGE was supposed to cut regulations, government bloat and spur economic growth. But it seems MIA in the discourse these days. The HC system is an expensive morass and no reforms are on the table. Illegals getting shipped out should help with pressure on wages and housing but it's slow going - 2 million deported but 20 million or more to go. Yes, some wins on the culture war front but other than a little sugar high, kitchen table issues are what drives voters. There needs to be an alternative to government is your sugar daddy solutions. And fast.
End the Fed, which is debt slavery & endless wars.
Cut the cancer out at its root.
False scales are an abomination to the Lord.
Stealing by inflation is the epitome of a false scale. It's not a hidden tax. It's hidden theft, and it impacts the poorest the most.
Moneychangers.
Good idea...
And... ban AIPAC and most if not all lobbyists, ban dual citizenship, place strict bans on all income sources for congress other than salary, for the duration of their service... all politicians should be prohibited from taking jobs in companies they had any oversight in... or especially in the MIC.
Might even help to keep politicians from serving so damned many terms.
And no pensions.
Especially not for life after one lousy term!
And slash their budget for staffers… you only get one to help answer the phone and schedule stuff. Less staffers may lead to less complicated bills/laws.
Good idea... and how about no big combo monster Bills anymore?
Biden's big Bill was a disgrace, but Trump's was, IMO, a stinker too. Pork-filled, deficit expanding POS.
My adult children can’t afford to buy a house partly because foreign investors buy them first, at 10% above asking price, and then turn them into rentals that cost more in rent than a mortgage payment would have been. I would love to see an immigration reform law that makes property ownership legal only for citizens. But at the moment, Congress is useless.
Agree - not just foreign investors. Look up American Homes4Rent and Invitation Homes. They are publicly traded and own upwards of 30,000 single family homes. Many of those 'cash buyers' are brokers who sell to investors like these. Something needs to be done for sure, just not sure what. Our HOA has banned sales to investors but from a municipality, or state statute standpoint I am not sure how you keep the vultures out in a free market. My son and his wife got lucky in 2021 and bid on a home where the seller stipulated no investors, she wanted to sell to a family, she had moved into a nursing home. It was very dated but had 'good bones' - they are still renovating, but had lost 10 bids before, most likely to 'cash buyers'.
I wonder if that could be done at the state level though?
You are not wrong. But all of these things take time to change. I think what the Biden administration did is easier and quicker-destroying things- then It is to build back and fix. Remember that it has been decades slowly moving away from our constitutional procedures that we are all hoping will be corrected. This takes time.
yes, shit stains are always very hard to get out of underwear but easy to put there and this was bidens legacy...shit.
Agree. Just as tarriffs will take some years to bear fruit/reshoring. But the average voter is looking at their bills due this month. Too few think long term, including those in Congress.
IMO, the average voter is also VERY concerned with Trump's support of Israel's genocide, his extrajudicial murder of Venezuelan suspected "drug-runners" and his likely war on Venezuela for regime change and oil... his unprovoked bombings of Yemen and Iran, his support of the corrupt lice of Ukraine, which continues the killings there... and his continued harassment and sanctioning of Russia.
His refusal to released the promised Epstein, 911 and JFK files is appalling, but understandable, once we realize he is compromised and controlled by Zionist Israel.
This is NOT the Trump of the First Term.
""Groceries" means buying prepared foods, processed foods and other quick and easy garbage means poorer health and bigger bills at the checkout."
From a price standpoint, processed franken food will go farther than buying a steak at $15 plus. Vegetables aren't even cheap at this point.
Depends on which vegetables. Cabbage is pretty cheap for example. And steak isn’t exactly cheap protein. Lots of other cuts of beef are cheaper and chicken and pork are also less expensive.
I don't disagree.
But.... lots of people work, including married couples with kids. They're tired when they get home. There are days when cooking from scratch-- if they even can-- is a bit too much. You have to be creative to cook good meals with cheap ingredients, and at this point, many people are just tired and want to eat.
Crockpots are great for this. There are lots of other types of from scratch meals that don’t require a lot of prep or cook time too.
Great points. It will take a lot to undo all of that. And having Democrats as well as some RINOs fighting it every step of the way certainly doesn’t help 😕
Yes, these young voters fresh out of indoctrination (college) are snowed beyond belief. SAD !
and I hope their lives are SAD since they voted for this shit. They will be living with their parents for life or only able to rent with 30 roommates. no car, not able to vacation and will sink into septic tank living. Good!
Trump is right about Congress having a chance to enact his agenda - which we voted for - in order to demonstrate the results of his policies.
This would convince more than anything else.
He's too busy running around the globe and hanging out with big government neo-con types. But don't worry, he has a plan ..... .
The global arrangements are in fact crucial to our economic situation at home.
Some people do not recognize plans.
Can you cite a few examples?
Why bother? Sneering is no doubt easier & more emotionally satisfying than research.
I try to continuously inform myself from various angles. It’s all we can do.
That's what I thought.
I wish I could believe in Trump.
Unfortunately, I now see him in the same way I see Musk: an agent of chaos.
Both do things I like. Both do things I dislike.
they best buy their prayer mats now and learn how to rock back and forth.
Islamic conquest is a legit concern... but keep in mind, we as a country are already riddled with the cancerous influence of Zionist Israel... the scum of the earth.
That way if he isn't actually "ahead" you can blame him for not living up to your expectations.
Jeff. Someone in the administration reads your stuff. You should be encouraging the administration to go full pedal to the metal. Trump needs to fire every non essential employee. Why are they messing around with this?
Trump talks a good line but he really needs to pair that with quick decisive actions. Trolling the dems does nothing except whip them up.
And yes, he needs to beat up the somnolent GOP. The filibuster as it stands now is stupid. The senate are a bunch of morons full of thunder and absolutely no lightning. In 36 days, they’ve confirmed like 6 judges? BFD. They should have been moving with speed on things that only required 51 votes.
It is beyond depressing.
I will NEVER understand not showing up to vote. I vote religiously in every election but it's frustrating because the Left is "all politics, all the time" and now we are forced to be the same. It's not a great way to be as a culture.
Yep, the GOP lost the NJ Governorship ONLY because of low voter turnout, it seems. Not enough people understand that we are at war, literally.
Or the votes being counted are not real.
That is also true. Democrats are very good at targeted fraud.
It’s what they’ve done forever. And media gaslighting.
They will soon learn that lesson.
Will they though? Seems to me the right people never learn the right lessons in these instances, to the detriment of all the rest of us.
and I hope that lesson is so painful they have not one moment of peace, happiness or contentment.
I’m not sure. In my liberal county, R turnout falls more and more with every election. They’ve checked out.
It has gotten that way because people on the right are feast or famine types. If their candidate wins they assume all is well. That's when the elected politician knows, just like a child who was good in the morning, as soon as the parent gets distracted the child will dive into what they can get away with; politicians should never be fully trusted.
When you said " ... now we are forced to be the same.", it says it all. Anything worth having is worth the cost of maintaining and protecting.
I always show up to vote, but I understand people who figure "Why bother, the election is going to go THAT way anyway." In CA, they count the mail in votes for 3-4 weeks after election day, then magically something that passed or didn't pass reverses depending on what the people in charge want. If CA has 83% Democrat "representatives" when only 45% of the people are registered Democrat, where is the representation for everyone else?
If the elections are rigged, and it can only be that some are because otherwise reversing results that win by 1% makes no sense at all, then why bother voting?
But the biggest problem? Decent people with brains don't want to be in politics for the most part. They just want to live their life in peace, own a house, raise a family and pass it on.
Except if things continue as they are there will be zero chance they’ll be able to do those things 😕
Redux: Muslims winning elections in this country? What the hell is wrong with people? Muslims cannot and should not be trusted to do anything but follow the tenets of Islam. Thanks Bath House Barry.
Vote to end the filibuster. Reopen the government. Pass necessary legislation. Vote to reinstate the filibuster. Done and done.
Nard that's brilliant!
I can’t figure out WHY Trump doesn’t hire me!
I hate the filibuster, and I don’t care which side it benefits, it should be illegal because it’s just a way to prevent meaningful discussion and then action.
There’s both benefit and risk to it, which is why the party in power hates it and the other side does not. I’m not saying it’s good or bad, I’m just saying the Republicans can eat their cake and have it too w the right strategy. Enough is enough. End the filibuster. End the shutdown. Codify legislation. And decide from there.
You're right. Idealists like me need pragmatists like you.
☺️
Howabout instead cutting 60% of gov.
We are in a debt crisis and Trump is signing trillions and trillions more of bad spending.
How about both?
I can agree with that.
When they take over, they will try that trick too. But when Dems take the Congress again, they will eliminate the filibuster. So…..
Los Angeles artist Tish Hyman has gone viral after claiming she was terminated from Gold’s Gym for confronting staff when a man entered the women’s locker room while she was undressed.
Hyman — a lesbian who explicitly said she is not transphobic — described feeling “violated and unsafe” after the incident and posted an emotional video (instagram link below) explaining her side. The clip has over 19,000 likes and reignited a national debate over women’s privacy vs. transgender inclusion.
BTW most news coverage about this fail to mention that Tish Hyman is a lesbian.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQkje09kiCW/
And so $&$#* what? No one cares. Virginia just elected a mother who is fine with men in her daughter’s locker rooms and rapists in female locker rooms.
If women don’t care, why should men?
I respectfully ask that you reconsider...there are good women and innocent girls out there who need good men to stand with us in this fight.
"Men don’t need to dominate this conversation, they need to honor it.
Not because women can’t stand on their own, but because they shouldn’t have to fight alone."

"Weak men have manipulated the world into believing lies that erase women.
Women aren’t weak — they’re sacred.
Women shouldn’t be protected out of pity, but out of value.
Men must honor women — not control them, not silence them, but stand with them.
Masculinity isn’t toxic — it’s necessary."
Get up, stand up
Stand up for your right
Get up, stand up
Don't give up the fight...

I know, I am not surprised by Mamdani or the NJ result but I’m particularly sickened by the VA elections.
I’m convinced that the only factor that has opened a window of hope for this country is the earnest prayers of the righteous, humbling themselves before God almighty.
Charlie Kirk also saw this in the 2024 election.
It doesn’t do our country any good to be fat & happy, yet forget the Lord. Blessings in the material are not to be sought in themselves - but the kingdom & glory of God.
SD, I agree strongly!
Agree.
How can we be surprised with the amount of mockery and celebration over Kirk’s assassination? That’s the point where my soul cried
It’s an indication of the utter spiritual bankruptcy of the third & fourth generations deprived of their inheritance in the Word of God.
They’re ghouls. Party of death.
Yay I am glad she was terminated. she loves trans and all the lgbtq, then buck up and get used to what you support. I want her to feel violated and unsafe like what other women have felt and she did not give a crap until it happened to her. good. karma is a bitch tish. how does she like those policies now?
Are you sure that Tish loves tranz-freaks?
If she does... why would she complain?
bc she is mentally incompetent.
Because she is a lesbo?
bc she is a liberal progressive dem.
Why does being a lesbo have anything to do with not liking men in women's bathrooms/locker rooms?
I doubt she is a supporter of tranz-freaks, or she would not have made the beef in the first place.
I disagree respectfully. she supported it, now she deserves to know what it is like.
She supports tranz-freaks in women's bathrooms?
If so... I agree she deserves to sit on it and spin.
The RINO’s will not vote to end the filibuster because they have no plan and will have no legislation that they would implement to make America Great again. They all secretly hate Trump and the filibuster removal would exposed their complicity with the Democrats
Exactly! They are one and the same. I’m in VA…and we are 😡😡😡
Exactly. The “RINOs”. Most of them are actually Democrats in disguise. We DO have Republicans that are patriots and want the MAGA agenda, but when the other half of your party are RINOs, then you only control 1/4 of Congress.
A very smart election strategy absolutely 100% MUST INCLUDE hand-marked hand-counted paper ballots. No ifs, ands, or buts.
As long as there are machines, there is going to be fraud. https://forbiddennews.substack.com/p/election-cartel-whistleblowers-revealed?r=595su&triedRedirect=true
We also must have voter ID. And frankly, this push to register every breathing body with an address has to stop. Most people won't vote and yet if they are registered, their names and/or addresses can be used to ghost vote. Or whatever the term is. Someone else can vote in their place, and with all the mail-in and absentee options, it's not hard to pretend to be who you are not.
Omega4America talks of that often. So much cheating still going on!
I don’t understand why if Jay Valentine has the answer to so many things his ideas never get anywhere to anyone important enough to do anything about it. If he’s right, I’d love to see someone with connections get him to some congress people who could move on his ideas. They’re wasted floating around in cyberspace.
I agree! This has bothered me for several years from back when he was writing at American Thinker. Something is not adding up there.
