Postwar politics realign as social media shreds old orders; Britain’s scandal erupts; State Dept lashes EU; MTG exits; Fuentes rises; Dems scent blood; and Trump fires back with the American Dream.
— inaccurately reported Heritage Foundation's Kevin Roberts’ resignation; the truth is he stuck it out. A director and several staffers quit, though. Fixed.
"AI can instantly excavate the one incriminating sentence from a mountain of bureaucratic babble."
I did this with the "high" blood pressure level indicators. Simply asked AI what the established level for it was in 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005, 2015, 2025. As Gomar used to say, "Well, I'll beeee!" It's dropped 5% per decade for half a century. I wonder why?
So I asked AI why. Caution, concern, some studies said... blah blah.
Then I asked AI to plot the inverse of the high blood pressure level against the rise in blood pressure medication sales from 1975 to 2025. "Well, I'll beee!" They correlate completely.
I saw that with the osteoporosis drugs too. Big pharma had a drug looking for a disease. The dexascan machines and their parameters were invented by Big Pharma. The bone mass that mature woman are compared to is a young woman in the height of her bone mass, not women of comparable age. It’s a big scam and their osteoporosis drugs are awful and dangerous.
Angela, get to a reputable acupuncturist and have them work on your Kidney Chi. I did research on Osteoporosis and found that Kidney’s and the bone marrow are intimately connected. Many people with Kidney issues have bone problems.
I went to a Thermographer. I was STUNNED.....in a VERY good way. They suggested that I take 1Tbsp of food grade diatomaceous earth. It's supposed to remineralize. I also take 4tsp of crystalized MSM (sulfur).....a food, not a supplement, and required for life. It's been a short time, but my gut issues are SIGNIFICANTLY improved! I told my Naturopath about MSM and she started taking it as well. She also CANNOT believe how improved her gut is......in just a few weeks.
Thanks for sharing that! I've been trying to convince my best friend (of 66 yrs) that she and her husband are taking too much medication, as prescribed by the standard Big Pharma pill pusher.
Both were vaxx'd & boosted with the clot shot...
She, having always been slim, never ill nor on any meds, had a sudden stroke 3 years ago. No outward damage, (Thanks be to GOD!) but her docs put her on several meds.
And her husband, having worked as an independent truck driver and owner of a trucking company 50+ years, until about 4 years back... IS NOW IN MID-STAGE DEMENTIA!
*He was a pretty heavy drinker and we are all old...but I am truly suspicious of their health decline.
Fermented refrigerated natto stops clotting, lowers blood pressure, stops arterial plaques and more.
I don’t see how the pills can work because nattokinase is an enzyme which would be deactivated by any kind of heat and by some kinds of processing to make it into a pill.
Being a long haul driver is a sedentary life and itself leads to diminished health. Alcohol is poison. I think you've identified the issue with him. Not vaccine weirdness. Geez, Childers really does attract some strange folks.
There is such a thing as changing opinion when data supports it. Look at what has happened to cardiac events with the increased use of LDL/Triglyceride meds and BP meds. <YHou have the tail wagging the dog when evidence seems too point to the dog being the wagger.
I'd actually prefer to consult my dog rather than most of today's so-called "medical professionals".....based on current track records, and some past. 🙄
Wrong-O. "We" got it from soil; from a soil bacterium to be more precise. Scientists isolated the particular efficacious aspect and tested on Mice. It was a good treatment for a worm parasite. A Nobel Prize was issued for its "discovery" in 2015, It has been "approved" for human use for early 40 years. Horses have little to do with giving it to humans. Scientific study of its possible medical use had everything to do with it.
It never ceases to amaze me the weird anti-science theories that seem to popup on Childers' Substack.
I used to be VERY anti-statin... but for those with cholesterol issues aside from just LDL levels, like ApoB, Lipo(a), or high C-rp... I now think VERY low dose statins can be beneficial... but ONLY Hydrophilic statins like Rosuvastatin... maybe 5mg 1-2X/week. JMHO!
Thanks for looking into it and sharing but, you didn't need AI for this. I've known this info for years w/o any corroboration. Your suspicion alone will point you in the right direction. But I get it that it helps if you want to explain it to others.
Sounds great in terms of the outcome representing what we are all thinking. Do you have a way to show your work? It would be a great thing to keep sharing along.
Good on Roberts. He came to Heritage at a time when they had been drifting off course. Some there were unhappy about that because they didn’t want anyone to rock the boat and get it back on course. That’s my understanding from following this since he came on. Of course I wasn’t there so don’t know what to believe, but the drift back to true conservatism at Heritage did start happening as soon as he took the helm.
Bannon and Fuentes are a lot alike. Opportunistic, nihilistic, back row complainers. They hate competition choosing to walk last at the Rose Bowl parade. Their revenge is pickup road apples to fling at the crowd. Anyone who listens to them, can’t be happy.
Not only are the beaches still here, at St. Augustine Beach we're driving SUV's, Jeeps, pickups and all manner of vehicles on the sand and we haven't lost one yet. I know Al Gore and Greta Thunberg may take issue, but unless my weary optics deceive me, there's sand as far as the eye can see, and after warily sticking my big toe in the surf I can say with relative certainty that the water was several degrees below the boiling point. Another Festivus Miracle!
Between the inevitable coming Ice Age and certainty of global warming we really didn’t know what to do. After much deliberation - and space being at a premium - we eventually settled on bringing our acid rain umbrellas....just in case. You can't be too careful.
For me it was the interplanetary collisions and then the polar shift but, interestingly enough, not the nuclear war that occurred in antiquity, as described in the Mahabharata.
*Some* of it is still there, thank goodness. My grandmother (born in '89, a Standish) had a chunk of it which I enjoyed seeing as a child. I can't remember when it was that They decided to prohibit taking chunks of it, but I do approve; I don't approve quite so much having The Government tell us They are preserving the entire planet by restricting our access to any part of it They choose ...
Your grandmother was born in ‘89. If you mean 1889, she’s 136. If you mean 1989, she’s 36 and too young to have grandchildren posting Substack comments….
No worries! This is why the verb in my comment was "had" ~ she would, indeed, be 135 if she were still here (born in December), but sadly, I have been missing her very much since she died at age ninety-four in '84. Sorry I wasn't more clear; maybe I should have typed, "my late grandmother," but I'm just now realising that I *never* think of her that way.
Acid rain-I remember getting depressed as a teen-ager when I first heard about how it would destroy fern and fauna then a few months ago, I heard the term again and realized it hadn't been spoken of in decades. Now we're bouncing between "Global Warming," the coming "Ice Age," and "Climate Change," faster than Nancy can come up with her latest uncharitable characterization of Trump and MAGA.
I don’t worry about the acid rain of my childhood but I do worry quite a bit about the heavy metals and other toxins dumped daily into the skies above my head.
You are right to be concerned. Certified lab tested rainwater samples in Oklahoma show that our rainwater is now toxic, and has high levels of aluminum, barium, strontium, sulphur, manganese, and calcium…all of which are documented ingredients used in SAI Operations for geoengineering of climate and weather.
I worry about the plastic in our oceans, and now in our bodies. Recycling seems to have also been a scam, because right after it was introduced, everything in supermarkets went hyper plastic. Every time I see individual waterbottles consumed by everybody and their mother's, I almost want to cry, because I really want to scream "don't buy them and drink them"‼️
Plastic is not good for the environment. The powers that be only peddle fear and lies for what is on their nefarious agendas. That is why we hear little about those horrible single serve plastic bottles of water.
Due to the fear of acid rain and his love for fishing, Dr. Christopher Exley researched Aluminum for 35+ years. Over time, his research led him to the effects of Aluminum on the brain. He was given donor brains of people who had Alzheimer’s or Autism. He found large deposits of Aluminum and has linked it to the adjuvant used in some vaccines and flu shots. He delivered a testimony and lost his job and research lab. He has famously said, “No Aluminum, no Alzheimer’s”.
Or make your own Figi water with Sodium Silicate (600 mg/gallon) and through inn half a teaspoon /gallon of Pink Himalayan Salt to get your trace minerals. Cheap and effective.
Truth teller's like like Reiner Fuellmich (Germany) and Robert Young California, languish in prison for revealing facts - others less 'fortunate' are bumped off
in big Harma tradition going back Tesla, Wilhem Reich & Royal Rife.
In 2016 “Zika” was a distraction to hide the results of a DPT vaccine campaign on unsuspecting pregnant women in Colombia. Their babies were born with abnormally small heads.
The only article I could find said the microcephaly was not caused by Gates or the mandatory vaccines given to pregnant women the year before. As Jeff Childers says…..So.
I’m sorry Eric but you must be living in a fantasy world. The settled science says your beach is gone. Your imaginary beach is just a model of what you want to believe. Again, sorry for your loss. Real beaches are wonderful but sadly are now all gone. Because Science.
I used to ask my friends if they poured water in one end of the bathtub, would the water level go up in the other end? They would say "Yes". I then replied "Wake me when the water gets here from the Antarctica peninsula." It never did.
Humans know so little about the processes that occur in the earths crust and mantle. Pressures build and volcanic magma comes forth. It rarely results in deep depressions in the underseas ones, which means it was backfilled with something. The most likely is sea water. There are gaps in the crust/mantle. Open one to sea water, and it gets filled, thus avoiding the scammers 'beaches disappearing!' cry.
Similarly, "Peak Oil" has been a thing for three decades now to try and get people to hold on to the notion that it all comes from a massive amount of dinosaurs and plant life, instead of understanding that it can also come from the deep earth processes. [Many 'tapped out' reservoirs see the levels increasing again.]
Finally, I find it ironic that the 'acid rain' people from the 1970's can't seem to grasp what is happening in the skies with all the spraying. A real issue that they have gone awol on. It's like they never really cared...
I read this and your other comment hoping to tie them into something relevant to the topic. I suppose you are debunking all the fear mongering and lies that have kept our society distracted while the real goal was-
The greatest transfer of wealth from the citizen class to the millionaire and billionaire class. With deceit, trickery, math, and fear mongering aided with a fiat currency which could be fractionally lent and counterfeited at will- we are here at the end game. The aristocracy has won. Just like they always do.
My largest point was on people needing to avoid thinking that if we get rid of the people who keep shining the light on uncomfortable topics, we will continue down the path of the populace not having any critical thinking ability to avoid systemic conformity, whether on the Right or Left. Too many citizens don't pay attention because the topics DO make them uncomfortable. It is why it is a loss when an MTG or Gaetz steps aside, a Patton is 'retired'. And for those of us who remember the 1990's and early 2000's, a Pat Buchanan. The collective "we" seems to want to target the 'alarm raisers', to the detriment of longer terms better goals.
I'm sure if Noah had been elected to Congress, he would have made a lot of enemies...
Oh you are correct. People don't give a shit mostly. They just want to live in their comfortable little bubbles- occasionally chiding folks like that Gaetz or MTG. I cut a quote here that pretty much conveys that idea. I think.
Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.
Your last sentence says it all. The example of Larry Summers retiring from everything because of emails from Epstein coaching him on how to get into the pants of a CCP member exposes the absolute stupidity of the permanent unelected leadership of the world.
There are two types of sins: commission (committing theft, murder, usury, etc.) and omission (omitting to feed the poor, speak up when people are lying, doing other 'corporal works of mercy' when our time and means actually allow for us to do so, dereliction of duty as parents, spouses, representatives, etc.)
Al Gore was so convinced that he was right about disappearing beaches.
One thing we know to be true about politicians on both sides; they don’t have to be right about something if they’re staunchly passionate about what they believe.
There’s always a herd of silly sheep who will follow them with the same zeal. They are profoundly oblivious.
Ron DeSantis's mocking of climate science means little when he is taking millions from solar energy companies and allowing the Florida landscape to be destroyed with pathetic solar farms. Dave Walsh, an energy specialist, often talks about DeSantis and Greg Abbott as both being bought by solar special interests.
I’m not sure how many of you know of Janice having a new book, (daily devotional,) coming out. You can visit her website here and preorder (got to “shop” in the menu,) if you’d like to support her faithful work. ❤️❤️
Wow, how wonderful for you to post this Juju. I will be taking a look. Thanks. Her website is so well done and the excerpt from the book is lovely. She is indeed a well of inspiration to all of us always beckoning us to keep our Jesus close by.
I told Janice last evening that the profile photo on her book was absolutely STUNNING. The shade of pink in the shadowy flowers in the background exactly complement the pink of her blouse. But, more importantly, Janice's profound gift for expressing her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will, I'm certain, have a real impact in anyone who reads her book. I plan on buying it on Amazon as soon as it's released.
Thank you so much, Lori. Keep checking back because my website person who is way more savvy than me is helping me make it better and better. And thank you for your encouragement.
When God calls them, or offers a glimpse, they may run to the bookshelf and pull it out. That’s what happened in my case. A touch in my heart and I was pulling out all the books and a Bible that had languished on a shelf until the just right time.
But you do have to humble yourself acknowledge and repent with a sincere heart..then HE will remove them as far as the east is from the west. Then you have to seek a closer relationship with HIM and follow HIS laws. Once each of us lives as GOD wants us to, then HE will heal our lands.
Insanity; doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. You know if we just tweak socialism/communism a bit here and there we’ll get it right. The problem with other attempts, mistakes were made, this is why hundreds of millions died. New York City is the place where communism will create utopia! Huge corporate tax increases, tax the rich white neighborhoods, free child care, free buses, free train rides, government run grocery stores, what could possibly go wrong?
The thing about NYC electing a communist mayor is a microcosm of this world, its the wickedness of communism. Communism combines all the 7 deadly sins, that’s what’s so evil about it, but it converts sin into virtue, you see that’s what liberalism has become, that’s Mamdani.
Envy is a deadly sin, all they want to do is take someone else’s money and property. Greed is a deadly sin, all they want to do is amass more money and more power for themselves. Pride is a deadly sin, have you seen anyone more narcissistic than Mamdani, or these cult of personalities that you have in all these communist societies. Lenin, Stalin, Mao, how about Kim Jong-un. Pride is a deadly sin. Instead of the Cross and Jesus there’s a portrait of them. Sloth is a deadly sin, it doesn’t matter how much they accumulate , how easy their life becomes, it’s never enough and to hell to created needy. This is communism, it appeals to the worst part of a persons nature. As Solzhenitsyn said what communism really is, is satanism. It literally is as close to Lucifer on earth as you can get. It hates the family, it hates religion, it hates God, it hates nations, it hates individual rights and individual dignity. Should we find it any surprise that the loyal devotee’s, to the cult of the party of death, the modern democrat party, would vote for their own societal suicide and absolute demise. And don’t you find it ironic that this is coming from the anti God left, they won’t bow their knee to the one true God on which this nation was founded and gave them every liberty they now enjoy, but they’ll gladly bow their knee to communism and to Ala that will ultimately enslave them. As Voltaire once said “it is difficult to free fools from the chains that they revere”. Just my opinion. J.Goodrich
REMEMBER, Communism's biggest supporters are members of the classes most resentful of their status e.g. teachers/gubment aka "public servants"/arts crowd - its about getting rid of other elites and making these resentful people the new elite.....
They don't know enough history to realize it's the mouthy zealots the party calls"useful idiots" that die first, when the trap is finally sprung and they realize they were sold a useless bill of goods.
Young people schooled on the last 30 years know nothing of the horrors of communism. I have told milleials about death gulag just for believing God, and they are shocked. So, I believe that this has all been premeditated by those evil elites. Fortunately, Destin going to introduce learning a communism into our schools here.
In principle yes. When our politicians obey the same laws we do, that will be more firmly reestablished. Trump is doing so much to help this
Jeff said,
"The point is, there is a perception of midterm weakness built on a fake foundation of supposedly bad economic news and a “ MAGA split” over intractable issues like Israel, Epstein, healthcare, you name it."
Yes, again a MSM color revolution tactic on our own citizens, a manufactured crisis. The constant MAGA bashing is a combination of the globalist (defeated but like Sauruman, "they still have their voice") faith that perception is reality, a unbalanced reflection with some truth, yet ignorant of and faithless to absolute spiritual truth.
So if you are truly MAGA, first do a deep dive into the issue you are complaining about, and learn what Trump is doing so far, and what he is trying to do, and what resistance he has, and considert valid reason why he may not be doing what you perceive as the correct things. Consider the economy, and also the global economy, consider the requirement to sometimes compromise, consider the lawfare, consideration the RINOs that must be cojoled to go along, etc. I truly suggest Grok as a first start for a deeper dive, just as Jeff referenced in this post.
Dude are you seriously trying to school me on research? If so you are way out of line. FWIW I disdain Grok because I do not need to be spoon fed simple concepts. I do my own research, have for decades, and that has formed the basis of my not inconsiderable knowledge.
Chick, the first of my comment was in response to your post, the rest was a general comment not meant to you personnaly. ( the "Chick" was a mirror of the tone set by Dude, and a bit of humor. I have done tremendous research as well, however Grok is an excellent resource to start a deep search, saving immense time in many cases. Grok can also be educated, at least within your own kept communications. BTW, for many many subjects.
Yes, the many things Trump has done - many here are good at that, but not so good at holding him accountable for the many not so good things. Just recently his envoy to Israel (Huckabee) met secretly with an actual convicted traitor of the US (Jonathan Pollard) who Trump let out of prison (he should have been there for life). Huckabee should at very minimum be fired. Can you imagine the outcry if this had happened under pedo Joe? But under Trump, crickets.
More detail is needed? Nope - he let a known traitor out of prison and then his guy met with him secretly. Sorry - this is utterly ridiculous and an egregious assault on national security.
I second your opinion. I watched mammadammadingdong at the WH with Trump. In all the pictures he is not smiling and looks so uncomfortable. His body language was very telling. He was there only to make sure the federal funding does not stop. He is so easy to read. He is and will be a full disaster.
Mandami was lying through his big pearly whites. He thinks he playing Trump and Trump knows he’s playing Mandami. NYC will be War Zone in a few months.
Mamdani was SO out of his league with Trump. He’s sweating big time as he realized that Trump holds most all of the cards. My husband said he was groveling.
Yes, Lori. Strange turn of events and somewhat amusing. Mamdani was attempting to crawl out of his skin because he was so embarrassed to be in the same room with the guy whom his constituents abhor.
Trump’s quip to Mamdani to ‘just call me a Fascist’ rather than fumbling around to reporter’s question was classic, Teflon Don. A peek into the differences between public and private, Trump.
In communism, the government replaces God. No need to look to Him to supply their daily needs - the government will take care of that. It is sad to see so many Christians embracing this!
The Pope needs to mind his own business in Italy and not be piping in about our immigration policy. My idea is to send all the illegal criminal immigrants to Vatican City so the Pope can rehab them since he is so forgiving. Watch how fast that would be stopped.
The State Bank of North Dakota has been in existence for decades. Sen Hoeven from ND was the director of the Bank for many years before he ran for Governor.
or just none. How about no banks that can devalue our hard-earned dollars? (thought I'd still prefer state ones to federal. Then people can at least move to states that have better policies)
Communist movement was funded by the Bank of England and Wall St. They created the Bolsheviks against the Czar and everyone else.
Bankers have us in a polycrisis.
"Thus the Drug Trust, while maintaining the Stalinist Communist Government in Russia, simultaneously maintained a Communist back up regime in the United States, the Trotskyite Movement, in case the Stalinist regime should fall."
Seen in multiple places going back ~15 years that Hitler was indoctrinated at the Tavistock Institute. The cabal funded and smuggled Lenin back in to Russia, so it wouldn't shock me in the least if it were true. Brits are behind most global shenanigans.
This is true. And efforts date back to the Illuminate who engineered the French Revolution, which was proto-Marxism. That is, Karl Marx before Marx.
Mullins was so right, and just about everything. I often think on the title of Murder By Injection and how prophetic ... and welcome to the Merry World of Covid.
And Karl Marx came from a long line of rabbis. His full name was Moses Mordecai Karl Marx Levy. And Leon Trotsky's birth name was Lev Bronstein. Just saying.
"On Friday afternoon, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani met with President Donald Trump in the White House, followed by a 30-minute press conference from the Oval Office. The event was a grotesque love-fest, during which Mamdani, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), declared a “partnership” and a pledge to “work together” with the fascist Trump.
It is necessary to memorialize the exchanges that took place, as they should be a defining experience for workers and young people undergoing a process of political radicalization.
Trump began by congratulating Mamdani for his electoral victory, declaring, “The better he does, the happier I am” and “there is no difference in party.” He added that “we are going to be helping [Mamdani] to make everybody’s dream come true.” Mamdani responded in kind, describing the meeting as “productive” and “focused on a place of shared admiration and love, which is New York City.”
Of course Trump does not support Mamdani. He’s just staying neutral and letting the man hang himself with his own noose. Mamdani’s failures will help Republicans for the midterms.
I didn't watch it all, but it's clear to me that Trump is playing with him. Attacking Mamdani and his commie plans would only energize his base and the Dems. Trump is saying; "You want a commie for a mayor? Fine; good luck!"
Correct. As usual, Trump keeps his friends close, and his enemies "closer". Mamdani, the communist (like Xi) is the antithesis of free market capitalism. Trump is the MAGA America First pragmatist, and he is able to create a relationship which will ultimately build on, and support his MAGA, America First pragmatism. I'm not nearly that good, I'd rather just shoot them and be done, rhetorically of course!!
I smell wholesale election fraud. It was an all mail in election lacking voter identity and end-to-end chain of custody. So there is NO way to determine who actually voted. Its not too astonishing that you would attempt to legitimize an election which is un-verifiable and therefore un-certifiable.
Yes. Couple that with a wholly unconstitutional method designed for conducting a s_Election and you get a mamdani. President Trump must restore elections before 2026 at least at the Federal level for federal positions, or they will steal it. You can see them falsely building the fake blue wave already as the predicate for the manipulation.
He also had a huge army of supporters on the Street.
Wall St. Money opposed him big time. Gen Z supports his protests against genocide. Election problems are real, but there are Gen Z revolutions around the world. Check out Dean Henderson on Substack.
Nonetheless, it is a very bad look. And Trump's word hubris is doing him in. It is doing immense damage to his base, especially with key swing voters in the younger generations.
His support of genocidal Israel is the major issue that is leading to his downfall...
AND... The way he is fighting the release of unredacted Epstein materials, after lying out his ass about them being a nothing-burger and a Dem "hoax"... to me means that IF the truth ever comes out (doubtful)... it could force his resignation...
Exactly my thoughts, Charlotte. Instead of sending the National Guard to NYC, if I was in charge, I would seriously workshop a scenario where the federal government stands back, lets the natural consequences play out in NYC, and holds back for a while. The people need to really understand the consequences of their choices, and that won’t happen if the National Guard and ICE come in and clean up the criminal element and deport a bunch of people.
Really, that’s my feeling on many of these sanctuary cities. What’s the highest crime city that’s not a sanctuary city? That’s where I would open discussions with the leadership as far as helping to clean up the crime and illegal criminal population.
"With the Fascist Trump" and "would-be dictator Trump". Delusional.
If you would like to hear facts and legitimate information about President Trump's efforts for the American people, please take some time to watch VP Vance's Breitbart interview. Starts at about 17 minutes in and ends at about 43 minutes. 26 minutes well worth your time. By all means, refute him if you can, but with facts, not more delusion.
Like the life expectancy of his wonderful vaccine.
No one ever arrested.
"But whatever the method used, the Committee of 300 made sure that all would-be aspirants for the White House got the message: 'No one is beyond our reach'. That this message remains just as forceful as it was when Kennedy was murdered and Nixon hounded out of office.... should be cause for concern among those who worry about the future of the United States."
It was not "his" wonderful vaccine. He had the diabolical Fauci running the shit show, "Pharma-ed up" to the max, and skilled at mass murder schemes as a veteran of the AIDS/AZT debacle. Or do you think Trump is a principle in the depopulation agenda?
Again, what Trump says and does in the long game differs. Remember he tried to bring in Scott Atlas on Pence's Covid dunce confederation, but unfortunately Pence didn't bring him to the fore and shitcan that moron Birx and put a sock in Fauci's mouth.
Maha, Correct. But not just human cockroach fauci, there was also Benedict pence, "scarf" birx and so many of fauci's hand picked liars in "Public Death..... errr.... I mean Health agencies, big pharma, the lying media, the WHO, etc. Trump made a mistake trusting any of them, but he learned from it and this second term is proof.
"Discussing" anything with forever contrarian and anti-MAGA 'tard bard is an exercise in futility and wasted time/energy.
C&C and Jupplandia are my two go-to websites every day. Can always count on both for enlightenment AND entertainment. Daniel Jupp is a Brit who understands the American political system better than most Americans (not including those here).
The difference between a Republican and a Democrat is how they problem solve.
When a democrat comes up against a problem they complain and look for someone else to fix and pay for the problem. When a Republican comes up against a problem they get to work figuring out the problem and then fix it themselves.
Excellent commentary and thesis: "Communism combines all the 7 deadly sins, that’s what’s so evil about it, but it converts sin into virtue, you see that’s what liberalism has become, that’s Mamdani." You touched on Envy, Greed, Pride, and Sloth. Please, I want to hear how you would relate the remaining deadly sins - Gluttony, Wrath, and Lust to communism. Thank-you!
So why did Trump have Mamdani to the White House and then say publicly he thinks Mamdani will surprise people and do a good job? He gets into this ridiculous verbal war with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie - who he should at least respect even if they don't agree on everything and gets behind the rapper turned Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani? Really? Trump needs to tone down the rhetoric and his ego. (Yes, I did vote for Trump all 3x). However, I am tired of the drama and the show around everything. I am tried of how one minute he loves this or that person and then he flips on a dime and is verbally assaulting them and calling them losers. It's below his office and really off putting.
I think there is a problem with Israel. I agree with Tucker's position on that. And no, I am not an anti-semite. We do not need to be dragged into their war with Iran. We will never get the full story on Epstein - a few people will be thrown under the bus as sacrificial lambs - but the deeper issues with Epstein and the intelligence agencies and Mossad will be kept from the public. I think Trump is getting rolled by Israel.
Our society is fractured. I don't think the unravelling is finished. There will be more - I think it will intensify alongside the beginnings of reconstruction. But it is hard to build a new world when large cohorts of people don't see or acknowledge the underlying issues.
I did watch the Tucker interview with Nick Fuentes. I found Nick Fuentes interesting. He's young - he needs to keep growing and developing wisdom but I am not at all surprised people are listening to him. I did not find him some sort of ultra right wing white supremacist though he does say provocative things. When you hear the story of how Ben Shapiro tried to destroy Fuentes when he was just a freshman college student because Fuentes dared to question Israel - you may see Ben Shapiro in a different light. The Israeli lobby has too much power over our politicians.
SCIENCE: doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Much of it is indeed insane but I have looked in the eyes of insanity and that is not it. For starters, insanity has NO expectations.
Redefining: What the left does when their ideologies produce Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc. Socialism is great, they say, it is Fascism we must abhor. Not the Obama fascism but something else to be used later.
Deadly Sins: All sins are deadly. It is a distraction that evil employs to focus on the sins of others when our own wages of sin are paid the same. Death is the retirement plan of sin and the seemingly insignificant ones are harder to put away.
Communism = Satanism. Exactly right. Unfortunately, there are many other words that can go on the left of that equation and still be logical valid.
Voltaire was correct but it could be expanded to : "It is nearly impossible to free fools from anything"
He explained MTG's departure in a way that finally made sense to me. I studied Civil War era politics many decades ago but did not think of the parallel until Jeff pointed it out.
Arguably because Lincoln was assassinated and his plans for a true reconciliation were never enacted. Might be somewhat of a parallel with the effects of Charlie Kirk's assassination on this administration…
Trump's team seems to be suppressing the Kirk murder... and the Butler event... and both smell to high heaven...
Much like the suppression of the Epstein, 911 and JFK files... could the prime Kirk suspect (Mossad) be determining Trump's actions on all these? He is so obviously controlled...
Take a look at Candace Owens data (on substack) if you want to know more about the Kirk murder. She's waist deep in details. Including $8 Million missing from TPUSA
Hey AD, just watched that link you posted. Sorry not buying the palm gun theory. That shot with a palm gun even at 10-15 ft would be damn near impossible without hand to eye coordination. You'd basically have to believe this guy pulled off a killshot in the head or neck without aiming is a one in a million. A shot like that would have to be with a rifle and scope or laser. Can't believe an assassin would risk something like that at close range with people all around him. Totally not feasible. Odds are he would have missed and hit someone behind Charlie. Oopsie!
The chances are greater than zero that MTG has been given another mission by the Trumpster and the dust up was all fake. Maybe she'll be a double agent inside the Dem party apparatus. Maybe she'll replace Joy Behar on the View?? Maybe The Trumpster just kicked her out of Congress for being an ahole too. With The Donald it's hard to know what tricks he has up his sleeve.
She is retiring two days after earning her congressional pension…they need to serve five years, and she made it five years and two days before moving on. It must be nice to earn a lifelong pension after five years of work.
I heard she is a business owner. She mentioned it herself in one of the interviews I heard. I have to research what business she has exactly. Perhaps she just served for 5 years to secure the pension as some commented above. 🤷🏼♀️
I don't think most here are aware that Trump let an actual traitor (Jonathan Pollard) out of prison who was convicted for life, after receiving bribe money from Miriam Adelson.
I love Trump calls an actual patriot a traitor, while he at the same time takes bribes from Marian Addelson and lets an actual convicted traitor Jonathan Pollard out of prison, who should have been there for life.
My thoughts also. I think Trump will ask MTG to handle some phase of GA politics, or she will participate in a Vance administration [i hope on both scenarios ].
Trump recognizes her talent and drive. He is very good at using the services of the best people.
Agreed. Excellent Analysis. Doesn’t make any less painful to see America Firsters pushed aside. Time will tell where it all leads. Fourth Turnings sure are interesting!
What exactly are these investments? So far I think it is only verbal commitments. Did you happen to hear Zuck's hot mic moment some months ago during a big WH mtg that Trump invited his swamp scum in for? He asked Zuck how much Meta would be investing and he stuttered for a minute before throwing out a number (the same number Apple CEO just discussed) and was later caught on a hot mic saying he wasn't ready for that question and didn't know how much POTUS wanted him to say.
It's all a show and many people are being played by it. Taxpayer investments to billionaires, who will at some point be bailed out because AI is going to flop. But according to recent remarks from Elon AI and robotics are going to cure world poverty!! What an effing joke.
Wow, fighter jets - the arms industry which is wholly propped up by the government. Chips - you mean the Nvidia bubble which is about to burst - the stock is being shorted if you weren't aware. Auto sales are also in the basement. Who is the joke? Do you always blindly believe what politicians (known liars) tell you?
Can you show me any actual proof of investments from the private sector - or is it just our tax money to be invested? The economy is in shambles, if you haven't noticed. Layoffs in october were the highest in decades. Oil is plummeting. Home sales are still way way down. All indicators that the economy is not what your tribe leaders claims it to be.
missed that most is coming from foreign companies - and with GDP set to come in @4% the economy is hardly in a mess - oil is down because supply is way up and gas is down - what’s wrong with that - taxes reduce in the BBB will further increase buying power and economic activity - so time will tell but I can see that the signs are pointing to a very positive outcome
Regarding MTG, Jeff Childers' wrote, "But here’s the harsh reality: Trump doesn’t need the chaos wing anymore. His first term was about demolition. The second term is about reconstruction."
This is what so many seem to be missing. There's constructive criticism and then there's creating chaos for chaos' sake. If not tempered closely, the former turns into the latter.
Last week Jeff Childers posted a clip from right-leaning pollster (and Trump supporter) Mark Mitchell who gave real-time commentary on Trump's Laura Ingraham interview. Many on our side (including me) found that interview really concerning as Trump seemed really out of touch. Mitchell voiced that publicly in an interview with Alex Jones based on polling he has, particularly from the under-35 crowd. Trump is losing them.
Trump saw the interview and invited Mitchell to the White House to discuss it. Perception is reality. Since then, we've seen a genuine recalibration of messaging coming from the White House on immigration, H1b's, Epstein, and other hot button issues. That is the beauty of good-faith constructive criticism, it can help course correct when a leader is getting bad advice or incomplete information. Mitchell was entirely gracious about it afterwards.
MTG seemed to be going off the rails recently, veering from constructive criticism to a more personal rift with Trump. That culminated in Trump withdrawing support for MTG's reelection. Now she announced she won't be running herself.
Mitchell was an example of how to do it, MTG (as much as we love her) was an example of how not to do it. A pretty stark contrast.
Exactly. She didn’t take time to read the tea leaves…or the room. Too bad, really. Trump is the master of transactional relationships. She could have learned a lot from him if she’d have taken a step back (and a breath).
I can understand her frustration. Working hard on getting a number of Bills written only to watch them gather dust because votes in Congress are so tight. Nothing gets passed. It is frustrating for the whole country to watch the government be ham strung.
From political experience, some burn out. But also, some expand their reach from the outside.
I have no complaints about either Massie or Green. They have been targeted and demonized for having been effective leaders. It's always the same old, same old.
This last week 1600 new H-1B's were admitted into the country. The same as weeks before going back years. Nothing has changed. All these H-1B's can have kids that will be citizens. The Trump admin could have ended this program but has not. On it goes
1600 too many. Too many of my friends at AT&T had to train their Indian replacements or forfeit their severance (and accrued benefits) before the American workers were terminated. This happened at Disney and, I’m sure hundreds of other US companies. Absolutely despicable.
Trump did make a change to H1B last summer. At first everybody was rejoicing cuz it seemed great. But then a day later the White House said no, The $100,000 is only for new people coming in. Doesn't apply to one's already here. And initially it was thought of to be an annual $100,000 but it's only one time. So he did make a change without Congress but it was not one that was actually effective. Also, Trump is under the impression that we need all these h1bs. He thinks they're the highly skilled or genius level Visa holders which is again false that is a different category of visa, not H1B
Some of US had an exchange in the comments yesterday about contrarians, and my comment was that it’s easy for contrarians to become intractable and be contrarian for the sake of it. I think that’s what happened with MTG.
Trump should never had attacked MTG or Tom Massie. Both are strong Constitutionalists who know MAGA cannot happen without returning to the fundamental principles framed in our Constitution. We have tremendous national debt, yet Trump keeps supporting deficit omnibus spending bills. Trump has also refused to place America first with Ukraine and Israel. We shouldn’t be loaning money from China to wage foreign proxy wars. As to housing affordability, end the unconstitutional Department of Education and the higher education loans to students which traps graduates into decades of debt, serves to make bankers rich and supports the Marxist ideology propaganda taught in the schools.
I would love to see some way to make it painful for Corporations to own single family homes. That would ease the housing situation for all of the US; but I guess it has to happen gradually to keep housing prices from crashing overall. I imagine it goes something like this - "Why yes, corrupt company, you may own single family homes, for rental or investment opportunities, but that will require a "corporate tax" of $50,000-100,000. Annually. For each one." And the same treatment for foreign governments. Think it would help?
It still doesn’t explain why NONE of her bills have been brought to the floor. The uniparty is biding its time waiting for Trump to be gone. You heard the Bush’s -devils every one
It is widely reported that MTG’s personal wealth has ballooned from $700K five years ago to over $24 million today. 👀 She’s made some amazingly “fortunate” stock purchases to amass that fortune, almost as if she knew that certain government contracts were going to be awarded. 🤔 She started protesting against mass deportations after it adversely affected her construction business. And what’s with her affair with the weird sex guru? Tbh, I tried to avoid reading too much about him 🥴
On top of that, suddenly she’s a media darling to the left, going on libtard shows like The View and basking in their newfound adoration of her. The icing on the cake is her sudden resignation, conveniently timed TWO DAYS after her permanent cushy federal pension and lifetime health insurance benefits vest on 1/3/26. TWO. DAYS.
In my opinion, she has shown herself to be an utter charlatan and grifter.
I can go along with that. Still doesn’t change the comment about bills collecting dust. No one is doing anything about any of the corruption. Dive found all kinds of fraud - seen any arrests? Now I read that Ray Epps wife is a Dominion mucky muck - no arrests. Just the little
Except that her family owns a HUGE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS that has grown and continues to grow. While she has made some money in the stock market, her family business is where most of that wealth came from.
I believe she took more ownership of the family business after her divorce. I haven't seen the books, but have siblings that know her and have connections to her construction business.
If there was not backlash from the base, Trump would have his way with us unobstructed. And the clown show would go on either unabated or unmodified. So, criticism is the chief means of pressuring for what we really want, and basically the campaign/Trump rally promises.
MTG, her chief sin and that of Massie is that they are uncontrollable by the administration and that would not matter except both are speaking from the Congressional platform. And once one garners real attention getting power, then one becomes a target. Like Charlie Kirk.
Trump calls a MTG, a patriot, a traitor. But after receiving a bribe from zionist miriam adelson, he lets an actual convicted traitor out of prison (Jonathan Pollard) who should have rotted there for life. Still waiting for Trump to throw the books at Huckabee who just met secretly with said traitor in Israel......I'll keep waiting.
One of the great and sometimes not-so-great things about Trump is he can turn on a dime. I am truly hopeful he is turning in the right direction again.
There is a fine line somewhere, between working within the 'system' to change the system vs standing outside of it lodging grenades. See this in our state legislature and the grenade throwers are just creating a lot of noise and damage and not accomplishing what they set out to accomplish. But the system does have a lot of corruption and victories take years, not months, and sometimes we NEED to get it done in months. No magic strategy that works every time.
I get the frustration with Congress, and loved her point about codifying Trump's EO's into law SHOULD be the Republicans first order of business instead of wasting so much times on these 'soundbite for re-election' hearings and political grandstanding. And I agree that Trump is single mindedly focused on his agenda and does not appreciate the distraction. In an arm-wrestling contest, she got out-muscled.
Actually BlackRock is being conflated with “Blackstone.”
BlackRock does not directly purchase single-family homes. BlackRock is primarily financial, not operational.
However Blackstone is a private equity firm that has acquired thousands of homes, particularly after the 2008 financial crisis, and is responsible for a significant portion of institutional single-family rental ownership.
How about making it illegal for foreigners to own American real estate? According to Newsweek and Paloaltoonline.com, Foreign buyers accounted for about 15% of all residential real estate purchases in California between April 2024 and March 2025.
Trump’s bragging about the American dream of home ownership while at the same time not doing a thing to help it, like stopping Wall Street! Unbelievable!
Yes. When we sold our house in the Seattle area in 2020, we had one offer, a Chinese investor. It was a fluke: after a feeding frenzy all summer, the weekend we went on the market, the wildfire smoke rolled in and everything stopped while regular buyers stayed inside. We wanted to reject the offer, but our agent said the guy would probably sue us for discrimination because the offer was full price. He turned it into a rental, and the rent was a third higher than out mortgage payment had been.
I wanted the option to not sell to an investor, but was not allowed to make that choice. He was the highest bidder, and I was forced to accept his offer.
That the average person does not have the leverage or the power to take this behemoth on. Suppose the person could have just decided to take it off the market but if you need to sell you may not have options. Our son and his wife submitted a bid on a house in 2021 that was actually a little lower than one offered by an investor, but the seller (who was in a nursing home) said she didn't want to sell to an investor and accepted their bid. No idea if she got sued by the investor.
We didn’t have that option because the Chinese guy made an offer. If we had gotten multiple offers, it’s possible we could have picked the one we wanted and the terms would have been private. The issue was that we didn’t have a choice to say no to an investor. So to David’s original point above, yes, I don’t care if the highest bidder is an investor, I don’t want to sell my house to someone who is just gaming our system and hurting my adult children in the process by artificially driving up home prices and charging them punishingly high rent, so that they can never afford to buy their own home.
Donna, yes - potential buyers often write pleading, warm-hearted letters to the seller in an effort to influence their choice. And apparently it works.
My son and his wife did that. Said they loved the house, and it would be their forever home and they wanted to start a family there. Did not say it was very dated and they have spent the last 4 years DIY updating it, but given they got the last of the 2.99% financing, it will probably be their forever home, lol. It had 'good bones' and a half acre lot for their dogs but shag carpeting and yellow linoleum in the kitchen and popcorn ceilings, all replaced at this point.
I think one moral could be that people buy houses more often in spring and summer than in the fall and winter, so sell when people want to buy. I don't know if Seattle is different. Maybe they don't have as many kids, who make school-year purchases inconvenient.
Seattle is completely different. I think, though, it’s similar to CA or really anywhere on the west coast. It was expensive when we arrived in 1990, and took extreme effort then to get into the homeowner class. We left for the Midwest for a few years in the early 2000s, and when my husband went house hunting in November of 2005 back in Bothell (a Seattle suburb) he said to the agent “let’s make an offer right now” five minutes after walking in. He had already lost on two houses that morning, and another couple was waiting outside for their turn to look it over.
House sellers miss the point by a large margin. I have heard friends claim making thousands of dollars on the sale of the family home. Of course this ignores maintenance, upkeep, taxes, insurance, etc. etc. ad nauseum. But most importantly, it ignores the obvious fact that the place they replace the sold home with will have also increased dramatically in price.
That's great, David. Sincerely happy for you. Boomers are the last healthy generation in large part because they weren't subjected to nearly as many childhood vaccinations. Gen X is less so in part because of the vaxes and because we have to care for our poisoned children. One nice thing about my generation is that we never counted on relying on generational wealth. It wouldn't be enough to matter anyway. I did see the writing on the wall for my kids though. I took what there was available to me and developed a system that paid the bills and allowed for some luxuries. I will live out however many years are afforded me and they can do the same. That is as long as the commies don't steal it.
100%. I thought the same thing. Why are they allowed to buy so much? Buying a house should be mostly reserved for individuals. Allowing huge corporations to buy up all the property can’t be a good thing. They are absolutely driving up the housing costs.
We bought a home in early 1989 and our initial interest rate on a 30 year was 9.5%. Between 1989 and 1994 we re-fi'd 3 times and finally ended up with a rate of 5.5% or some such. We paid it off in about 20 years rather than 30. I think most people would likely do something similar, or perhaps move somewhere else, but I can't see many actually keeping the loans going for 50 years.
Excellent news that @StateDept recognizes mass migration as existential threat in Europe. Moratorium, then mass deportations the solution. Do America concurrently.
I heard that, but I hope not. I'm not going to visit probably for 5 to 10 years to let them clean it up. Can't have my visions of a beautiful Europe destroyed by seeing nons everywhere.
definitely 100%! Back to their ancestral homelands. Call it Deportation, repatriation, resettlement, idc, just get them out & not into any White countries. Why is it always third world nons that "they" (who shall not be named) want to bring to White Nations? Skyrocketing our crime, lowering our IQ, destabilizing our economies, diminishing our quality of life. They can take what they learned from us and make their Nations better if they like (doubtful, look at the examples all over the world, South Africa, Haiti, South America etc etc etc), either way they gots to go.
I am increasingly becoming somewhat of a Nick Fuentes expert because my 18 year old son really likes him (though acknowledges he is a provocateur and bomb-thrower). I will add to the bio provided by Jeff, that Nick was also placed on a "no fly" list by the USG for over a year following....that's right, J6. The USG also debanked him and confiscated all of his money (which at that time, for such a young man, was a pretty significant amount - I'm not sure if he got it back). Finally, a would be assassin of his own was killed outside of his home last year so I'd say he has reasons to be feisty.
The war being fought on the right has been long coming. Given yesterday's claim in the Daily Mail that the "Bush Family" is looking to reign over the GOP in a post-Trump world, we better get it fought and settled soon. I, for one, am not going back to the GOP of old.
Note that Fuentes is being promoted by the likes of The NY Times. Democrats see him as a way to smear and fracture MAGA. It’s another Unite the Right operation: tie everyone on the right to the extreme fringes (in a way the media never ties Democrats to leftist fringes).
I'd say all the more reason to dialogue with the "far right" figures and attempt to moderate their views. I do recommend watching Tucker's interview with Fuentes. He is a young, smart, articulate, but obviously immature man whose views will only be hardened by ostracizing him. He could be an asset.
Wow. Can you imagine the response by certain people on the Right? Holy cow. Anyway, I mentioned it in another response, but Fuentes actually dined with Trump at Mar a Lago in 2022.
There are always "certain people". I discovered in practice that the most certain of us often lack information. Our POTUS can be an enigma to even his most loyal followers. I say, to quote Jeff Childers, "let the man work".
I posted last week an interview of Shiela Holm by Michael Jaco that showed a very old photo of a happy gathering of the Scherff (Bush) family smiling for a group photo with Martin Borman, Joseph Mengele, Reinhardt Ghelen, and Otto Skorzeny. Got virtually no views or comments, and I posted it soon after C&C dropped, but no one cared. Wake wake folks. The Bushes were not legitimate legal presidents, and they sure as heck aren't working for Americans.
In the early 1990s, I was vacationing in Mexico & met some guys from Pakistan. They said Bush has done a lot of really bad things. I didn't understand what they were saying back then because I supported Bush. I know now.
Bush's are evil incarnate. Prescott funded the German war machine. The only person Hoover debriefed after Nov 22 1963 was 41. He was behind the Reagan assassination attempt too, and had his hands all over 9/11. I know how you feel, as I feel I need to take a shower every time I remember I donated to the shrub (junior) in 2000. Clinton's are just Bush waterboys.
Yep...I read Cathy O'Brien's book and also realized how evil some other players are especially Dick Cheney (notice how there was no lying in state for him) Cheney was also one of the heads of the Targeted Individuals program. Evil beyond comprehension.
My son is in this same zone though, like your son, recognizes the use of caution in taking too much to heart. It's scary times for our boys because their sense of the future seems so bleak in their young minds.
It's amazing how vigilant we have to be. I am constantly offering counter points to anything he talks to be about just so he can hear more perspective than the vitriol he hears from the talking heads.
He seems a very logical and reasonably healthy response to the hit that young American men are taking these days financially and emotionally (all the "toxic masculinity" bs).
I'm not going back to the old GOP either. It's America first republicanism now. I have always been an America first Republican, it's just that I didn't know I could have a leader who would exemplify that. Until Trump.
Yes. Next to the pretty photo of the cozy white "American Dream" house, there should be a photo of one of the new AI processing, water-dragon, centers and label it The "American Reality."
Safe bet that Jeff has a teenage son who’s educating him on the young male thought process (a group that is leaving Trump in droves). Let the education continue. Dad has a lot to learn from this generation. They ain’t stupid.
MTG choosing January 5th to leave is because on January 3rd she's been in Congress long enough to earn a life-long pension. If she's really fed up with what's happening, then leave now, before the gravy train date. What a farce.
I didn't leave without a pension, but it was delayed for 15 years, and half what it would have been, plus no job. Corporate Fortune 10 company and I was not ready to sing the song any more.
Ah... two years... far different that MTG's situation, yes?
I walked away from a pension, one year away, With Hughes Aircraft, now Raytheon, but for my own reasons... I didn;t think I could make it to retirement without having a heat attack... the political BS was overwhelming... even for a mellow and considerate guy like me!
Yes much different but I am glad she is getting her pension. And I am glad you walked away when you did. Health is more important than money. It takes strong individuals to walk away when they realize what they witness is poison, no matter how good the money, pension and time off. Good for you AD!
Any person who holds a job would hold out for their pension, if it was within reach. Yes congress gets too much of our money, but again, smart people plan their retirements with money in mind.
The thought crossed my mind and ditto for Massie. Their Cretan Majesties, after all, can and will wipe out entire families. And if you noticed, there are these absurd pro-Zionist ads now flooding YouTube feed and elsewhere. 'They' are trying desperately to stuff the Israeli Alley Cat back into the sack with all manner of absurd ads and appeals. But the younger generations have caught onto them and they will never forget the massive affront visited upon them due to the pain and misery having been inflicted over their lives. And now with the Army of Counter-Zionism having crossed its Rubicon, there is no turning back.
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Those who were the persecutors were apostate the Old Testament faith. And some things don't appear to change. The world is always the world no matter the age in which one lives. And the world is ruled over by deception and/or the Great Deceiver. Our greater reward for faithfulness is in heaven and not of this world
Jeff completely mis-called this one. Trump viciously attacked MTG because she dared to insist on the release of all the Epstein files. And because she called out Israel’s ownership of our country.
Sure, her bills have gone nowhere because the Rs are just one end of the Uniparty. But she has been getting attacked (including threats on her life) for the above stances, and Trump threatening to primary her is everything you need to know. Massie, too.
Yeah, good for her though. It is, after all, a job. It doesn't make sense so many people are so bothered by this. If you've suffered through 5 years of gov't idiocy and opprobrium directed at you, by all means tough it out a few more days and get your pension.
Something we all need to pray about and pay attention to.
I met Dr. Jacob Pursley, an American missionary based on the border of Armenia and Iran (now known as the Trump Highway), on a mission trip to determine if Armenia meets the criteria for support of persecuted Christians. It’s crazy that the oldest officially Christian country in the world might actually meet the criteria with the state church persecuting the evangelical church. But that’s not what this is about.
This is about Dr. Jacob Pursley’s recently published newsletter and the fact that around 60% of the mosques in Iran have closed due to lack of interest. The Christian Church in Iran is growing faster than anywhere in the world. The people state that they are tired of a forced religion based on hate. They see the love of Jacob and his team, and they are drawn to Christ. This is the answer to the Islamization of the world. It is simply the great commission.
I remember when I was a young teenager hearing the parents discuss the Islamization of America and the world. They had said in around 30 years. It was going be a reality, according to the math. Amazing how smart your parents get as you grow older! I had heard the plan was to immigrate as peaceful, productive citizens and keep your head down and your mouth shut. Work hard, raise a lot of kids, grow them up to voting age, and start voting in legislatures supporting your religion. Once you reach a certain, sustainable percentage of the population, begin proselytization, peacefully. Once you reach a majority and have established command posts with sufficient power, began enforcing sharia law and forced conversion or death as we see in so much of the world. Sudan, in particular El Fasher where the RSF, with weapons and support from the UAE, recently, LITERALLY, raped and murdered their way into power across Darfur and continue to push eastward with their brutal regime. Bara, Babanousa, Ghubeish, and Umm Krediem. Rwanda. Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo, where even today Christians are being murdered and raped by radical Islamist forces. All across Africa as Isis and Al-Qaeda and they’re like expanded eastward out of Darfur.
It’s here folks. What are YOU going to do when they come for your women and children?
The Islamization of America is happening! This is the real threat to the world that most do not want to face. The grooming gangs of Europe; what religion do they practice? What people group can not be criticized?
Unfortunately, we will have to kill them to protect our own. Very hard and sad to say but it is the truth unless you turn the other cheek as they rape your daughter in front of you and wait to be beheaded since most consider us infidels.
It won't happen but I love your optimism. Those Muslims that are fanatics cannot be reasoned with or compromise. What would have to happen is a Saul to Paul experience with every one of them and I just don't believe that will happen. Hope I am wrong though.
They can't be reasoned and will never, ever stop trying to kill you. (Terminators) And like the Borg, they believe your resistance is futile. We all need to show them it is NOT futile.
But even the non-zionists jews in Israel, strongly against the current administration of insane butcher swine... are not in any way related to the biblical Hebrews...
Strange, but the Palestinians they are trying to wipe out... are.
One would think all the C&C "christians" that post so much pompous BS... would howl about it... but no...
Yes, I do not disagree... the religious extremists are the worst, as they actually think that "God" is with them... insanity writ large... IF there is a "God", he would spit on them all.
It's a time-honored war tactic with different aspects to it.
- It's a way to further break a people by attacking "their" women. (Think of Germany towards the end of WW2.) It psychologically and emotionally breaks the men who cannot defend their kin and country-women. It's even worse for the women and girls.
- It also impregnates many women at once, forever changing the enemy's genetic composition. This in turn breeds inter-generational alienation and strife since the fruit of rape will never be accepted by the mother in the same way as the fruit of love. This helps to weaken a society because maternal nurturing is the wellspring of a healthy and strong society and culture.
- Where family lineage and bloodlines are recognized and upheld, it serves as a means to establish legitimacy for invaders and conquerors who contract sanctioned relationships or marriage. How offspring are sired within that contract, willingly or unwillingly, is of no consequence to those who wish to legitimize their claims by their own laws and customs.
- It's used as a reward system for the foot soldiers of victorious armies. The (often) tacit understanding throughout HIStory has been that the young men will finally get laid if they follow orders and kill enough of the enemy. Women and girls are considered to be the spoils of war.
Which is why Europe is facing another dark age confounded with 7th Century throwbacks utilizing the technology they didn't invent, but understand how to destroy with it.
I’ve been watching Nick Fuentes through social media, and despite his stirring of the pot, he is absolutely correct.
Young men feel hopeless and that’s on us.
We boomers don’t mind our house suddenly becoming twice as much as we sell and retire into assisted-living.
But that leaves these kids would no hope of buying a home and starting a family and that should worry us.
I’ve been coming down hard on the side of young people and maybe it’s because we lost our 19-year-old son, and for me every young man is someone I will fight for.
Property taxes are immoral. They mean that we will never own a home and it can be taken from us by the government.
Interest on loans when we borrow our own money that’s been taken from us through taxes, is immoral.
Paying for an education, while giving money to those who don’t wanna work, is immoral.
Our children are furious at us boomers, and I don’t blame them.
I see them comment that the world will be better when we all pass on, that’s how angry they are.
Watch Tucker’s interview with Nikki Haley‘s son, and you’ll get a taste of how hopeless our young men feel.
Like Nick, I am disgusted with the Republican party that can’t even see that there’s a problem.
We give billions and foreign aid, and neglect our children.
Why?
Is it because people are afraid of getting called names?
Is it our cowardice that keeps us from addressing the issues of our children?
We need to wake up, and do it fast, or we will lose the next generation.
As a millennial, I'm trying my best to get the boomers around me to understand how dire the situation is. The America they have left us is not the same America they were handed by their parents. And in every case, they think the lack of opportunity and prosperity comes down purely to some individual failing in the part of the young. It's insane, and so many are angry.
I have been reading this lots, and I am with you. Glenn Beck has also written of this and people nearing retirement like me (but not me) make light of the struggles our kids are facing and it is big as brass balls if you care to look - most don't. Thank you for painting the picture as clear as you did! Maybe more will pay attention.
I don’t think for a single second that our kids are just lazy. While my son was in middle school, I asked him why some of the kids just goofed off and didn’t try.
He told me that it’s because they didn’t see a reason to try because they couldn’t afford college so why try in middle school in high school.
This is a boomer problem and we can fix it by standing up to entrenched power and not letting them divide us by political parties.
The majority of my fellow boomer friends are retired, and playing golf and their handicap is their biggest concern.
Lazy, hmmmm relative to what? Every young disenchanted young person I know or see believes they deserve quite a lot. How many of the previous generations walked right into a house after college or getting married? This is absurd. I know people love their children but please a little reality check here. Middle class people waited 5 to 15 years to be able to purchase a house. Entertainment while waiting for that day was splurging for a coffee or an outing at a park. Interest rate that my brother who built his own house was 21% in the 70’s. Give me a break. The whining continues. Who of other generations does not know someone who worked two to three jobs? How out of touch can people be with reality? Hair extensions,false nails, 1400.00 phones, leased cars not of a vintage age,Starbucks, vacations to Marocco charged to credit cards because they were deserved.
How many hours a day dedicated to looking for work. I can’t tell you how many business owners I’ve spoken with saying they can find no workers. The workers they hire don’t show up on time, have no work ethic or have no respect for the expensive equipment required for the job and the managers feel like their parents picking up after them and calling them to get them to work. There are plumbing and welding companies that are training people for free on weekends. I know you can’t sit with a laptop in Tahiti on the beach doing work for 2 hours a day, however…
Ask me why I think people taking covid jabs like they did was a no brainer. If you can’t think for yourself, you can’t clean your room and you are living in your parents’ garage I fail to see how you are using initiative or using your God given abilities. This may be harsh to some but can you not see the victimhood of this country?…..so ripe for the picking as they say.
We have the ability to do better. We can do better. Quit dividing and fighting among yourselves. Whining never helped anyone. When things are in a million pieces the choices are..learn to put it back together or continue to deconstruct. In essence, the poor kids who can’t buy a house or go to the four year college of their choice from their brand new home in a good area with marble countertops in their leased vehicles….. give….me….a….break..
The parallel to those that do not give a president the ability to work his way through monumental problems is pretty clear. You make massive changes fighting up hill battles in a very very short amount of time and you still can’t find any hope or happiness. You have to at some point ask yourselves, why? You are given much and you can still not find any vestiges of gratitude. Gratitude. Appreciation. These are powerful words for a reason.
Yep and they are traveling all over the world spending their kids inheritance. I see it all the time. Esp teachers and gov retirees. Lots of money there.
Well, quite frankly, it's not the boomers fault. We didn't set up all the immoral things you mentioned. In fact, most of us hate it more than they do because the gov't has been stealing from us for 30+ years. And no amount of voting will ever change it until we have term limits and eliminate corporate campaign contributions so the career "rep" will go the way of the dodo bird.
But their gripes are real. And that's made me reconsider how to help them by shifting the inheritance money from death to start next 5 yrs and spread across the next 20. They need it now, and I don't think I can spend it all. Unless, of course, the 4th Turning goes ape sh*t and SHTF destroys most everything... not impossible, but can't stop living based on fear of the extreme outlier?
We boomers were fooled by some brilliant manipulators so yes, it’s not our fault then, but we can turn the tide by doing what you’ve mentioned. We are doing the same with our children’s inheritance and we also have a generous scholarship set up in the name of the son we lost at 19.
The money goes to furthering any sort of education the child chooses and it’s based on the child who inspires his fellow students.
I think the biggest issue of our times is interest on loans.
It affects everything like a cancer in our lives and if we could set up a system where our tax dollars could be borrowed for a flat, one time fee to other Americans, then we could make schooling & homes more affordable and not dependent on interest fees.
I believe that more young people could buy homes if they would just practice a little delayed gratification. Looking around at a lot (not all) of young people with acrylic nails., fake eyelashes, fake hair extensions, designer clothes, $7 coffees, leased Beamers, cell phones, every streaming company available. Need I go on?. These indulgences cost a fortune over the course of time. Saving for the future seems impossible because the credit cards they ran up are at 20%. Notice I did not call them children. We should not consider 20 to 30 year olds children. That is part of the problem.
The delayed gratification is an issue. Also an issue is the gap between income and housing costs. I've read recently (probably on C&C!) that, using averages, a home in 1950s cost 2 times annual salary - currently the cost of a home is 7 times annual salary.
I agree with the delayed gratification. It’s real and we delayed it because our world was set up so that we had to delay. I can’t say that I would have saved for what I wanted if I hadn’t been forced to.
While on the surface I agree with you, but I’d also like to add that it is our generation that has set up a society that rewards parasitic behavior ( Johnson setting up welfare), it’s our generation that runs the media that preys on human weaknesses like fitting in and the competition between women using beauty as a weapon.
It’s our generation that insisted our kids go to college so we could brag to our friends about whose kid got into the right school. My generation brags about their kid’s school winning a football game.
We set up the game and we now blame our kids for succumbing to the pressures of the game.
A famous psychologist once said that the number one stumbling block in a child’s life was its parents unfulfilled expectations.
Go to any sporting event to see what I’m taking about. I’ve seen parents scream at a 12 year old umpire calling a strike on their child.
We are the ones who put up with allowing credit card companies to prey on the vulnerability of our children just trying to keep up with the world we’ve given them.
We adults don’t need defending. The generation we have produced does. I’m going to shoulder the blame for this world and always defend a young person first.
Even though this group of disaffected young men are being deeply influenced by Nick Fuentes, there’s one thing that Trump has got that Nick hasn’t got…DJT is a grandpa. He needs to emphasize and personify that image in any situation that presents itself. Every young adult that I know and especially young men (unless their grandparent was an abuser or a straight- up weirdo) have deep affection for their grandfathers and that’s what Trump needs to come across as every time.
Yesterday I saw a picture of Trump throwing a football to one of his grandsons outside the Rose Garden. The caption- A quick break from the Oval, because he's still a Grandpa.
You don't have to be a disaffected young man to like and respect Nick Fuentes... or Tucker... or Candace... or Ian Carroll... they all make a lot of great points...
In this mega-woke culture... truth is forbidden... and morons believe that "racism" only applies to white men...
Seriously?🧐. Do you support people judging your roles in life by your heritage or what you have done, good or bad? He was made in the image and likeness of God, just as you were.
I hate to point it out, but MTG is retiring two days AFTER she will be vested with her lifetime pension from congress. Not a good look for someone who has been legitimately claiming to work for the common man.
Perhaps you would like a source of studies coming out weekly showing the harm being done to injectees? Simply subscribe to Peter McCullough's substack, with contributors John Leake and Nicolas Hulscher, MPH. Here's a sample of a recent study he reviewed: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jmv.70613
As far as the 2020, the videos of ballot box stuffing, cameras failing in counting rooms, and strange machine errors were not enough? Or did you believe the Soros paid off judges and prosecutors who found no fraud were credible?
I’m completely against much of what she has done in the past few months, AND how she chose to not fulfill her term, BUT … I do agree she has earned her right to her pension for her work the prior 4.5 years.
But I would have felt better about it had she simply put her head down and continued to defend the American people by finishing out her term first.
I suspect she has her sights on the Presidency, and needs strategic energy for that - which tells me she cares more about that than the people after all, or she would have just finished her term.
I cannot believe that I had not heard that Heritage president FINALLY resigned!!
I have heard that Fuentes is funded by bad outside influences such as Soros or Qatar. Who knows? But I have also heard that HE NEVER VOTED FOR NOR SUPPORTED TRUMP.
So IDK why this is considered tearing MAGA apart. He NEVER SEEMED to be part of MAGA.
I think that because of his influence with the highly sought after young male vote he cannot be ignored. I thought the housing video was brilliant. It addressed the issue without aligning with Fuentes. I am like Mr. C. and know nothing of Fuentes directly but I had heard previously that he has spoken favorably of Hitler so is labeled accordingly. But maybe it is time to try to understand how Hitler came to be. He did not arise in a vacuum, he arose during extreme economic conditions. I think it is incredibly arrogant to think it could not happen here and thus marginalize people who express their valid concerns. Even if they do so in terms that give us the ick.
Everyone should take your advice to learn more about real but hidden history, especially WWII history as it has defined the world we have lived in ever since. Never forget Hitler threw out the Rothschilds and the central bank, and we all know what happens to anyone who does that.
Actually I do not think we know. But we don't know one way or the other because we tippy toe around the various issues. FWIW I am a staunch supporter of Israel so am wary of rote demonization of Jews. But anybody, including Jews, should be subject to scrutiny, even harsh scrutiny, without knee jerk opposition. We spent decades teaching kids to "use your words" but now squawk to high heaven when someone says anything we do not like. I had to quit The Free Press because of this.
I agree with you again Lynne, with respect to everyone being fair game for scrutiny. Where my line WRT Israel arises is if / when standards are being applied to Israel that are never applied to ANY other country. So that is the tripwire that I look for.
I have said it before and I will say it again. In my dive down the rabbit hole one the past 17 years, I have found that nothing, repeat nothing, we have been told officially of anything of import has been true. I have never been wrong to date disbelieving every official narrative, then and now. The truth needs no laws to protect it.
As a self declared staunch supporter of Israel, I give you June 8th, 1967 for your consideration. It will be the first thing that comes up in a search on a real search engine.
It’s a narrative. Lots of fake X accounts out there amplifying the maga division story. As of yesterday you can now see the origin of these accounts. Many originate from Pakistan & other non US places, even though they project American. Not saying it’s not real, but it’s not what they want you to think. Fuentes actively campaigned against Trump in 2024. Hard to know the truth about where his money comes from, but I believe he’s bought & paid for. He doesn’t support maga, but I think he rebrands it America first or America only. There are other plans afoot to not let the maga legacy continue once Trump is out. Meaning Vance is a target. Demeaning Vance’s wife calling her the slur that Jeff included in this post, is part of the demonization. Interesting that Tucker, supposedly a friend of Vance’s, didn’t call Fuentes out on that.
It’s called the ‘location’ feature on X. It’s new & doesn’t always work according to some reports. I haven’t looked into how to use it. Here’s an example https://x.com/white_amercan/status/1992078121219330460?s=61. A self described American Indian - in Bangladesh.
Thanks Dena. I just went to X and clicked on whatever I could find to click on to find the "Location" feature and it was NO WHERE to be found for me. Drat. 🫤
I asked Grok: To find the country of origin for an X (formerly Twitter) account, use the platform’s built-in “About this account” feature, which displays the country where the account is based. This is determined by X using signals like IP geolocation, app store or payment information, account settings, and device data.
Steps to Access It:
1. Go to the user’s profile on X (via the app or web).
2. Click or tap on the join date (listed under their bio, e.g., “Joined [Month Year]”).
3. This opens the “About this account” page, which shows the country of origin, along with other details like username change history and connections to X.  
Sure, if you follow them then you can block them. But it’s just good to know that if they’re pretending to be something they’re not, they’re not to be trusted.
Fuentes was a huge Trump guy in 2016. Huge. He was also on board in 2020 and even had dinner with Trump (and Kanye) at Mar a Lago in 2022. I think Fuentes' disillusionment is more recent and I think he did not cast a vote for anyone in 2024.
Good. Anyone who loudly and consistently keeps America's focus on what the last decades has done to Gen Z and their prospects is appreciated.
Especially our Congress' inaction while the enormous resources of the US are used to actively accelerate the country's downfall (rampant immigration, corporatism, unlawful entitlements to illegals, trillions of dollars sent abroad to support the democratic party efforts around the world, etc.)
That is THE key. We quarrel about this president or that president, or this judge or that judge, but it is the Congress that has been AWOL from its legislative mandate for decades now. They authorized the rule-making of the executive university branch agencies then walked away to day trade apparently. Now those rules making alphabet agencies do not want to recognize the authority of the executive, the POTUS. Rather they are in league with the corporations and unions who enrich the day trading Congressional members. Now sitting members of Congress are actively promoting abolition of civilian control of the militsry by encouraging active duty military to disobey orders of their Commander in Chief. Nothing good can come of this.
Fuentes is 27 now. In 2016, Fuentes, your "huge Trump guy," was a teenager, barely out of high school. He may have a "yuge" following now, relatively speaking, but he's still 20-something, even today. I'll admit, a lot of 20-somethings have had huge impacts on the world; take many of the Founders of the US, or the millions of teen- and 20-somethings whose blood soaked the fields and beaches of France, but given the dismal state of education today, it's become rarer. And the _wisdom_ of 20-somethings is, and I'll wager, never will be, "a thing."
He's not MY "huge Trump guy," that is how he would have described himself. I know he didn't vote in 2016, but when he was in college, he was very outspoken in his support for Trump (he only attended for one year because his support got him ostracized). As Lynne said above, we should try to listen to the people who are identifying with Fuentes and his views. We have a problem and needs to be addressed.
You yourself described him as "a huge Trump guy in 2016. Huge." Your emphasis doesn't make him YOUR "guy," whatever that means. But he wasn't describing himself, and emphasizing it. That was you. I'm just responding to that, but "listen to the people who are identifying with Fuentes?" I have listened to them, and they sound like garden variety anti-semites and white nationalists. Neo-David Dukes. NF is 27, not 57, or 77. He's a punk with a BIG megaphone, and an armload of matches and gasoline.
Don't miss my point; many 20-somethings have impacted history, but not many, especially 20-something Americans, have the wisdom to be listened to. That's why it's considered remarkable that people in their 20s do remarkable things. But the 27 Club is mostly known for dying in the prime of life from unwise choices. Some even had remarkable talent. Aside from his megaphone and rabble-rousing talents, NF is trouble with a capital T. And listening to him and his ilk will get more of the same.
I'm not saying to ignore them. They're a problem, but too many people, especially on the right in this country, are perfectly fine listening to guys like him. They're playing with fire.
Hektor, you're hectoring. I didn't intend to get all caught up in a semantics fight but apparently you're bored today. Have fun. I got your point, I just didn't find it all that earth shattering.
Not bored, and not under the misconception that anyone has ever delivered an "earth shattering" blog comment. You deflecting from your own comments about NF is not hectoring. It's just calling a spade a spade. I engaged with your points fairly; I just have a different perspective on the importance of listening to NF and his followers. You seem to think he's got something to contribute. Certainly, more than I do in your estimation. Even if you don't want to hear it from me, time will tell you. And you can't mute that comment. Happy Thanksgiving.
That's bc he didn't. Board member Prefessor Robbie George and some others redigned but not Roberts, at least as of 15 minutes ago according to Duck AI:
Kevin Roberts has not resigned from the Heritage Foundation. However, he has faced significant backlash over a video defending Tucker Carlson's controversial interview with Nick Fuentes, which included antisemitic remarks. This situation led to the resignation of several individuals connected to the foundation, including prominent figures like Robert P. George, a Christian scholar, and Mark Goldfeder, a Jewish lawyer. They stepped down due to Roberts' handling of the controversy and his reluctance to fully retract statements made in the video.
"It’s not just optics; the Heritage Foundation’s president (and key Project 2025 architect) was forced to resign last week after refusing to condemn Nick."
I assume a correction will follow from Jeff C. 🤷♀️
I’m not sure I’d agree that we’re in an “inexorable postwar reset”…it feels very much “mid-conflict” to me, and personally, I lament the loss of a firebrand like MTG at this stage of the battle.
Many of the bills that MTG pushed for and that Speaker Johnson will never allow to “see the light of day” are precisely what so many of us dearly hoped for.
Sadly, I believe we are far from being out of the woods.
Coalition building and deal-making are pre-eminent skills needed to work effectively in Congress; a politician creating sound-bites that the base loves will accomplish virtually nothing toward advancing legislation that REALLY effect our lives.
MTG , for a whole raft of reasons, was not an effective legislator. And while her personal stands on issues we care about may resonate with the base, the results were beyond disappointing.
I confess to caring very little to what politician SAY (this includes Trump). I care only for what they DO, what they ACCOMPLISH.
If you can't actually do what you were elected for, let's all move on, yeah?
We're not done until we've proven we can actually change laws to match Trump's E.O.'s All of this will get unwound just like it did before unless we destroy the RINO's and truly have America First conservative rep's that actually represent US.
I'd gladly take her place and start bringing a flame thrower to the podium.
For example...
1. Medical freedom?
2. COVID jabs still being injected, still killing and maming.
3. Nobody arrested for sedition or treason from the COVID bioweapons attack or J6.
4. Nobody in Congress arrested for the massive corruption everywhere.
5. Not one activist judge impeached, shamed, nothing. Start with that S.O.B. Boasberg and Artic Frost.
6. Jack Smith?
I could go on for days. Nothing changes unless sever consequences are meted out. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY MOVED AROUND BY GOV'T IS TOO RIPE AND TOO LARGE TO RESIST SKIMMING AND STEALING. UNLESS.... YOU LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY, ALL YOUR POWER, AND ALL YOUR FREEDOM FOR MUCH OF OR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
Without consequences, it will come back. Same thing happened post-WWII. It's literally the same families. Bushes? H.W.'s grandpa was a Nazi banker sent to the U.S. Schiff? 2-3-4 greats grandpa was a NY banker that funded Trotsky's return to Russia to start the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.
Punish this crap - severely. Or you're only papering over the tiger. Or something. Inflict PAIN!
ERRATA:
— inaccurately reported Heritage Foundation's Kevin Roberts’ resignation; the truth is he stuck it out. A director and several staffers quit, though. Fixed.
"AI can instantly excavate the one incriminating sentence from a mountain of bureaucratic babble."
I did this with the "high" blood pressure level indicators. Simply asked AI what the established level for it was in 1975, 1985, 1995, 2005, 2015, 2025. As Gomar used to say, "Well, I'll beeee!" It's dropped 5% per decade for half a century. I wonder why?
So I asked AI why. Caution, concern, some studies said... blah blah.
Then I asked AI to plot the inverse of the high blood pressure level against the rise in blood pressure medication sales from 1975 to 2025. "Well, I'll beee!" They correlate completely.
Weird, huh?
Then I did cholesterol. And diabetes.
And now you too can see the scam playbook. :)
I saw that with the osteoporosis drugs too. Big pharma had a drug looking for a disease. The dexascan machines and their parameters were invented by Big Pharma. The bone mass that mature woman are compared to is a young woman in the height of her bone mass, not women of comparable age. It’s a big scam and their osteoporosis drugs are awful and dangerous.
I have osteoporosis and wouldn't take one of those horror drugs if you paid me, thpugh doctors are pushing them on me.. I am trying natural methods.
Angela, get to a reputable acupuncturist and have them work on your Kidney Chi. I did research on Osteoporosis and found that Kidney’s and the bone marrow are intimately connected. Many people with Kidney issues have bone problems.
Maybe get a voodoo doc, too!
You do You.
WOW.....you have SO much to........add.
Jeff, we have a clean up on isle 7!
I went to a Thermographer. I was STUNNED.....in a VERY good way. They suggested that I take 1Tbsp of food grade diatomaceous earth. It's supposed to remineralize. I also take 4tsp of crystalized MSM (sulfur).....a food, not a supplement, and required for life. It's been a short time, but my gut issues are SIGNIFICANTLY improved! I told my Naturopath about MSM and she started taking it as well. She also CANNOT believe how improved her gut is......in just a few weeks.

Sunshine is so good for bones.
Thanks for sharing that! I've been trying to convince my best friend (of 66 yrs) that she and her husband are taking too much medication, as prescribed by the standard Big Pharma pill pusher.
Both were vaxx'd & boosted with the clot shot...
She, having always been slim, never ill nor on any meds, had a sudden stroke 3 years ago. No outward damage, (Thanks be to GOD!) but her docs put her on several meds.
And her husband, having worked as an independent truck driver and owner of a trucking company 50+ years, until about 4 years back... IS NOW IN MID-STAGE DEMENTIA!
*He was a pretty heavy drinker and we are all old...but I am truly suspicious of their health decline.
I believe the Frontline Doctors recommended Nattokinase to clear out the spike proteins, from Covid and the clot shots.
Fermented refrigerated natto stops clotting, lowers blood pressure, stops arterial plaques and more.
I don’t see how the pills can work because nattokinase is an enzyme which would be deactivated by any kind of heat and by some kinds of processing to make it into a pill.
Being a long haul driver is a sedentary life and itself leads to diminished health. Alcohol is poison. I think you've identified the issue with him. Not vaccine weirdness. Geez, Childers really does attract some strange folks.
There is such a thing as changing opinion when data supports it. Look at what has happened to cardiac events with the increased use of LDL/Triglyceride meds and BP meds. <YHou have the tail wagging the dog when evidence seems too point to the dog being the wagger.
I'd actually prefer to consult my dog rather than most of today's so-called "medical professionals".....based on current track records, and some past. 🙄
OK, you will be flea free then. Good luck with your human health.
We did get Ivermectin from horses!!
Wrong-O. "We" got it from soil; from a soil bacterium to be more precise. Scientists isolated the particular efficacious aspect and tested on Mice. It was a good treatment for a worm parasite. A Nobel Prize was issued for its "discovery" in 2015, It has been "approved" for human use for early 40 years. Horses have little to do with giving it to humans. Scientific study of its possible medical use had everything to do with it.
It never ceases to amaze me the weird anti-science theories that seem to popup on Childers' Substack.
I used to be VERY anti-statin... but for those with cholesterol issues aside from just LDL levels, like ApoB, Lipo(a), or high C-rp... I now think VERY low dose statins can be beneficial... but ONLY Hydrophilic statins like Rosuvastatin... maybe 5mg 1-2X/week. JMHO!
https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/pharmacy-clinical-pearl-of-the-day-lipophilic-statins-vs-hydrophilic-statins
Try hawthorn and hibiscus tea from Traditional Medicinals for help with cholesterol.
Thx, but likely not strong enough to reduce apoB or Lipo(a) or C-rp.
Nexlizet is a good alternative to statins, but REALLY expensive...
Yeah, but I am not sure why water based matters.
Read the link... it explains that.
✅
Thanks for looking into it and sharing but, you didn't need AI for this. I've known this info for years w/o any corroboration. Your suspicion alone will point you in the right direction. But I get it that it helps if you want to explain it to others.
Completely agree, although it is helpful as you say to let some see it for themselves right on the screen or page. Depends on the audience.
Nice work!
Sounds great in terms of the outcome representing what we are all thinking. Do you have a way to show your work? It would be a great thing to keep sharing along.
Good on Roberts. He came to Heritage at a time when they had been drifting off course. Some there were unhappy about that because they didn’t want anyone to rock the boat and get it back on course. That’s my understanding from following this since he came on. Of course I wasn’t there so don’t know what to believe, but the drift back to true conservatism at Heritage did start happening as soon as he took the helm.
Thanks for correcting
Good to hear.
Bannon was slamming HF everyday, saying they were going to become irrelevant.
He felt Roberts was being pushed out.
How bout his 835k a year salary, is that true ?
Bannon and Fuentes are a lot alike. Opportunistic, nihilistic, back row complainers. They hate competition choosing to walk last at the Rose Bowl parade. Their revenge is pickup road apples to fling at the crowd. Anyone who listens to them, can’t be happy.
You must be happy then, because you obviously don't listen in.
Like Trump, I give everyone ten minutes or so to pick up their vibes.
I don’t make a habit of listening to antisemites.
They annoy you, so they're antisemite. Nice to so easily pigeonhole people.
They pigeonholed themselves by professing their hate for Zionism and Israel.
Shit for brains
🥰 learn that from Fuentes?
Not only are the beaches still here, at St. Augustine Beach we're driving SUV's, Jeeps, pickups and all manner of vehicles on the sand and we haven't lost one yet. I know Al Gore and Greta Thunberg may take issue, but unless my weary optics deceive me, there's sand as far as the eye can see, and after warily sticking my big toe in the surf I can say with relative certainty that the water was several degrees below the boiling point. Another Festivus Miracle!
Between the inevitable coming Ice Age and certainty of global warming we really didn’t know what to do. After much deliberation - and space being at a premium - we eventually settled on bringing our acid rain umbrellas....just in case. You can't be too careful.
Not only are the beaches still there so is Plymouth Rock!
Ever since those “damn dirty apes” blew up the Statue of Liberty I've been a bit on edge. Wait…..?
Oh, no! That really happened? I mean, it's going to happen?
Happened….looked real to me.
For me, it was the meteorites hitting various national landmarks.
For me it was the interplanetary collisions and then the polar shift but, interestingly enough, not the nuclear war that occurred in antiquity, as described in the Mahabharata.
Man blew it up and then the apes took over.
You did see the "Wait...?"
Ya, I saw it. Just having a little fun with you...
🤣🤣
Do!!!
As far as you know....
*Some* of it is still there, thank goodness. My grandmother (born in '89, a Standish) had a chunk of it which I enjoyed seeing as a child. I can't remember when it was that They decided to prohibit taking chunks of it, but I do approve; I don't approve quite so much having The Government tell us They are preserving the entire planet by restricting our access to any part of it They choose ...
Your grandmother was born in ‘89. If you mean 1889, she’s 136. If you mean 1989, she’s 36 and too young to have grandchildren posting Substack comments….
Not trying to be rude; just confused …
No worries! This is why the verb in my comment was "had" ~ she would, indeed, be 135 if she were still here (born in December), but sadly, I have been missing her very much since she died at age ninety-four in '84. Sorry I wasn't more clear; maybe I should have typed, "my late grandmother," but I'm just now realising that I *never* think of her that way.
I probably should have been able to figure that out. My bad! How wonderful to have memories focused on her life rather than her passing. ❤️
I knew what you were talking about. I'm not sure why Michelle didn't. My grandparents are all "Late" as well. I'll be 70 in a few days. So, ya.
My grandparents were born around then also. I met one of them. The other three died young.
The only thing you needed to see to know it was a total hoax was Obongo and Scumbosie sinking millions into beachfront homes.
Acid rain-I remember getting depressed as a teen-ager when I first heard about how it would destroy fern and fauna then a few months ago, I heard the term again and realized it hadn't been spoken of in decades. Now we're bouncing between "Global Warming," the coming "Ice Age," and "Climate Change," faster than Nancy can come up with her latest uncharitable characterization of Trump and MAGA.
I don’t worry about the acid rain of my childhood but I do worry quite a bit about the heavy metals and other toxins dumped daily into the skies above my head.
You are right to be concerned. Certified lab tested rainwater samples in Oklahoma show that our rainwater is now toxic, and has high levels of aluminum, barium, strontium, sulphur, manganese, and calcium…all of which are documented ingredients used in SAI Operations for geoengineering of climate and weather.
If you want AI dominance and the vast deposits of lithium it requires, it sure is useful to clear out the land above it.
Ugh…horrible…
Right there with ya, Emily. 🎯
Shhhh..."that's all make believe...like elves and Eskimos" - Homer Simpson.
Elves are real!
I have their cookies.
Yeah. But he died. Remember?
Thank you, Emily, for bringing up the horror over our heads. I’m on Whidbey Island, above Seattle, where Geoengineering is going on non stop.
I’m in the south Sound. Seems we share the same poison.
I worry about the plastic in our oceans, and now in our bodies. Recycling seems to have also been a scam, because right after it was introduced, everything in supermarkets went hyper plastic. Every time I see individual waterbottles consumed by everybody and their mother's, I almost want to cry, because I really want to scream "don't buy them and drink them"‼️
Don’t worry about this. Fear, fear, fear. Someone always peddles it.
Plastic is not good for the environment. The powers that be only peddle fear and lies for what is on their nefarious agendas. That is why we hear little about those horrible single serve plastic bottles of water.
Lots of things aren’t good. Life is half good, half bad. We make poor choices often. But, this is not the end of the world. Again don’t fear anything.
The sky in East Texas was full of trails today. We looked up and there was a big X in the sky.
You worry but none of the environmentalist groups and "activists" give a shoot about that.
Magician’s trick. Watch this hand so you miss what the other one is doing.
Due to the fear of acid rain and his love for fishing, Dr. Christopher Exley researched Aluminum for 35+ years. Over time, his research led him to the effects of Aluminum on the brain. He was given donor brains of people who had Alzheimer’s or Autism. He found large deposits of Aluminum and has linked it to the adjuvant used in some vaccines and flu shots. He delivered a testimony and lost his job and research lab. He has famously said, “No Aluminum, no Alzheimer’s”.
Could be sprayed on us from above as well
He recommends drinking one liter of silica rich water, like Fiji, for 21 days.
Or make your own Figi water with Sodium Silicate (600 mg/gallon) and through inn half a teaspoon /gallon of Pink Himalayan Salt to get your trace minerals. Cheap and effective.
AND NO PLASTIC! I despise plastic!!!
You can also drink horsetail tea.
Seriously?
Completely serious. Read his substack.

Truth teller's like like Reiner Fuellmich (Germany) and Robert Young California, languish in prison for revealing facts - others less 'fortunate' are bumped off

I was too busy worrying about contracting the Zika virus to worry about the demise of the planet. Enlightened self-interest.
In 2016 “Zika” was a distraction to hide the results of a DPT vaccine campaign on unsuspecting pregnant women in Colombia. Their babies were born with abnormally small heads.
They're in Congress now.
🤣🤣🤣🎯
Eric on 🔥 today!
ouchie.
oy, really?! I didn't hear that. horrible.
I had not heard that. I did wonder where Zika went; it came on suddenly, and disappeared the same way. Do you have any links to articles?
It didn't "catch", like the covid propaganda did. For some reason no one was buying it.
The only article I could find said the microcephaly was not caused by Gates or the mandatory vaccines given to pregnant women the year before. As Jeff Childers says…..So.
https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/no-link-between-gates-vaccines-and-microcephaly-in-brazil/
The Fact Checkers have spoken!
I was too worried about contracting bird flu and getting monkeypox.
I wish I'd realized sooner what a scam it all was. Spent decades letting imminent disaster ruin my day and inform my decisions.
the good news the acid rain would also kill the killer bees.
And it's all BS for control, power and for more wealth for the elites. BS to the max.
I’m sorry Eric but you must be living in a fantasy world. The settled science says your beach is gone. Your imaginary beach is just a model of what you want to believe. Again, sorry for your loss. Real beaches are wonderful but sadly are now all gone. Because Science.
Lol sounds like the cdc 🤣😵💫
“Fantasy world” aka social construct 😵💫
I used to ask my friends if they poured water in one end of the bathtub, would the water level go up in the other end? They would say "Yes". I then replied "Wake me when the water gets here from the Antarctica peninsula." It never did.
Humans know so little about the processes that occur in the earths crust and mantle. Pressures build and volcanic magma comes forth. It rarely results in deep depressions in the underseas ones, which means it was backfilled with something. The most likely is sea water. There are gaps in the crust/mantle. Open one to sea water, and it gets filled, thus avoiding the scammers 'beaches disappearing!' cry.
Similarly, "Peak Oil" has been a thing for three decades now to try and get people to hold on to the notion that it all comes from a massive amount of dinosaurs and plant life, instead of understanding that it can also come from the deep earth processes. [Many 'tapped out' reservoirs see the levels increasing again.]
Finally, I find it ironic that the 'acid rain' people from the 1970's can't seem to grasp what is happening in the skies with all the spraying. A real issue that they have gone awol on. It's like they never really cared...
I read this and your other comment hoping to tie them into something relevant to the topic. I suppose you are debunking all the fear mongering and lies that have kept our society distracted while the real goal was-
The greatest transfer of wealth from the citizen class to the millionaire and billionaire class. With deceit, trickery, math, and fear mongering aided with a fiat currency which could be fractionally lent and counterfeited at will- we are here at the end game. The aristocracy has won. Just like they always do.
I have no problem with your second paragraph.
My largest point was on people needing to avoid thinking that if we get rid of the people who keep shining the light on uncomfortable topics, we will continue down the path of the populace not having any critical thinking ability to avoid systemic conformity, whether on the Right or Left. Too many citizens don't pay attention because the topics DO make them uncomfortable. It is why it is a loss when an MTG or Gaetz steps aside, a Patton is 'retired'. And for those of us who remember the 1990's and early 2000's, a Pat Buchanan. The collective "we" seems to want to target the 'alarm raisers', to the detriment of longer terms better goals.
I'm sure if Noah had been elected to Congress, he would have made a lot of enemies...
Oh you are correct. People don't give a shit mostly. They just want to live in their comfortable little bubbles- occasionally chiding folks like that Gaetz or MTG. I cut a quote here that pretty much conveys that idea. I think.
Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient all over the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.
Your last sentence says it all. The example of Larry Summers retiring from everything because of emails from Epstein coaching him on how to get into the pants of a CCP member exposes the absolute stupidity of the permanent unelected leadership of the world.
Should have skipped Epstein and gone right to Elic Swalwell.
He bang bang Fang Fang with tiny wang wang.
There are two types of sins: commission (committing theft, murder, usury, etc.) and omission (omitting to feed the poor, speak up when people are lying, doing other 'corporal works of mercy' when our time and means actually allow for us to do so, dereliction of duty as parents, spouses, representatives, etc.)
Who is the greatest problem in our lives? We are.
Yes, we are the problem. I personally subscribe to repent for my sins and if possible apologize.
I remember the Time magazine signaling the coming ice age. The fear porn was strong in the 70’s.
Yup, we remember.
Al Gore was so convinced that he was right about disappearing beaches.
One thing we know to be true about politicians on both sides; they don’t have to be right about something if they’re staunchly passionate about what they believe.
There’s always a herd of silly sheep who will follow them with the same zeal. They are profoundly oblivious.
Staunchly passionate and staunchly greedy are oftentimes joined at the hip. He made a shit ton of money promulgating this pant load.
Hay! I'm in St Augustine too! Howdy, Neighbor!
Howdy do.

Ron DeSantis's mocking of climate science means little when he is taking millions from solar energy companies and allowing the Florida landscape to be destroyed with pathetic solar farms. Dave Walsh, an energy specialist, often talks about DeSantis and Greg Abbott as both being bought by solar special interests.
Yeah, but the hate speech law in Florida is bonkers. What was DeSantis thinking signing that?
"but unless my weary optics deceive me ..." Oh c'mon man! Stop doing your own visual research! What are you? Some sort of expert? ;-)

I’m not sure how many of you know of Janice having a new book, (daily devotional,) coming out. You can visit her website here and preorder (got to “shop” in the menu,) if you’d like to support her faithful work. ❤️❤️
https://www.janicekpowell.com/
Wow, how wonderful for you to post this Juju. I will be taking a look. Thanks. Her website is so well done and the excerpt from the book is lovely. She is indeed a well of inspiration to all of us always beckoning us to keep our Jesus close by.
I told Janice last evening that the profile photo on her book was absolutely STUNNING. The shade of pink in the shadowy flowers in the background exactly complement the pink of her blouse. But, more importantly, Janice's profound gift for expressing her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will, I'm certain, have a real impact in anyone who reads her book. I plan on buying it on Amazon as soon as it's released.
Me too. It will make lovely Christmas presents if out in time.
I am not sure of the exact timing, but they should be. And I will gift wrap and direct ship if that helps.
Sharon, you are too kind. Thank you, sister.
It is an honor to know you just the bit that I do, sister Janice.
Someday we will meet on that beautiful shore!
Thank you so much, Lori. Keep checking back because my website person who is way more savvy than me is helping me make it better and better. And thank you for your encouragement.
You are a constant blessing to all of us Janice and you are most welcome:].
Just pre-ordered 4 for my Godless WA state family members who need some Janice & Jesus in their lives!! 😇🙏🏼😇
When God calls them, or offers a glimpse, they may run to the bookshelf and pull it out. That’s what happened in my case. A touch in my heart and I was pulling out all the books and a Bible that had languished on a shelf until the just right time.
Juju, you and everyone here have blessed me beyond words. Thank you for your kindness in sharing about my book and preordering.
Good to see this.
Thanks, JUju, I just pre-ordered a copy!
Blessed indeed, because there won't be very many of the lawless who escape justice. If not from our government, then 100% from our maker.
Janice,
As always, your hand selected Scripture is truly timely and perfect for today. And every day.
It is so easy to look at the lawlessness of this world and forget the lawlessness of our own sins based upon selfish desires and personal failures.
God's faithfulness to forgive me and not take into account my sin is amazing.
His mercy is new every morning is so true.
Thank you and Blessings!
But you do have to humble yourself acknowledge and repent with a sincere heart..then HE will remove them as far as the east is from the west. Then you have to seek a closer relationship with HIM and follow HIS laws. Once each of us lives as GOD wants us to, then HE will heal our lands.
Amen sister!
Uncle Juan, are you back?
Yes… we are.
Yay! A wonderful trip to add to your life's resume!
Amen
Psalm 32
Thank you Janice, I needed that, blessings.
A blessing from God for the righteousness of faith not works alone… 🙌
Insanity; doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. You know if we just tweak socialism/communism a bit here and there we’ll get it right. The problem with other attempts, mistakes were made, this is why hundreds of millions died. New York City is the place where communism will create utopia! Huge corporate tax increases, tax the rich white neighborhoods, free child care, free buses, free train rides, government run grocery stores, what could possibly go wrong?
The thing about NYC electing a communist mayor is a microcosm of this world, its the wickedness of communism. Communism combines all the 7 deadly sins, that’s what’s so evil about it, but it converts sin into virtue, you see that’s what liberalism has become, that’s Mamdani.
Envy is a deadly sin, all they want to do is take someone else’s money and property. Greed is a deadly sin, all they want to do is amass more money and more power for themselves. Pride is a deadly sin, have you seen anyone more narcissistic than Mamdani, or these cult of personalities that you have in all these communist societies. Lenin, Stalin, Mao, how about Kim Jong-un. Pride is a deadly sin. Instead of the Cross and Jesus there’s a portrait of them. Sloth is a deadly sin, it doesn’t matter how much they accumulate , how easy their life becomes, it’s never enough and to hell to created needy. This is communism, it appeals to the worst part of a persons nature. As Solzhenitsyn said what communism really is, is satanism. It literally is as close to Lucifer on earth as you can get. It hates the family, it hates religion, it hates God, it hates nations, it hates individual rights and individual dignity. Should we find it any surprise that the loyal devotee’s, to the cult of the party of death, the modern democrat party, would vote for their own societal suicide and absolute demise. And don’t you find it ironic that this is coming from the anti God left, they won’t bow their knee to the one true God on which this nation was founded and gave them every liberty they now enjoy, but they’ll gladly bow their knee to communism and to Ala that will ultimately enslave them. As Voltaire once said “it is difficult to free fools from the chains that they revere”. Just my opinion. J.Goodrich
REMEMBER, Communism's biggest supporters are members of the classes most resentful of their status e.g. teachers/gubment aka "public servants"/arts crowd - its about getting rid of other elites and making these resentful people the new elite.....
They don't know enough history to realize it's the mouthy zealots the party calls"useful idiots" that die first, when the trap is finally sprung and they realize they were sold a useless bill of goods.
Young people schooled on the last 30 years know nothing of the horrors of communism. I have told milleials about death gulag just for believing God, and they are shocked. So, I believe that this has all been premeditated by those evil elites. Fortunately, Destin going to introduce learning a communism into our schools here.
But what those whonthink that way fail to understand is that we do not have "elites" here. That is the foundational American principle.
In principle yes. When our politicians obey the same laws we do, that will be more firmly reestablished. Trump is doing so much to help this
Jeff said,
"The point is, there is a perception of midterm weakness built on a fake foundation of supposedly bad economic news and a “ MAGA split” over intractable issues like Israel, Epstein, healthcare, you name it."
Yes, again a MSM color revolution tactic on our own citizens, a manufactured crisis. The constant MAGA bashing is a combination of the globalist (defeated but like Sauruman, "they still have their voice") faith that perception is reality, a unbalanced reflection with some truth, yet ignorant of and faithless to absolute spiritual truth.
So if you are truly MAGA, first do a deep dive into the issue you are complaining about, and learn what Trump is doing so far, and what he is trying to do, and what resistance he has, and considert valid reason why he may not be doing what you perceive as the correct things. Consider the economy, and also the global economy, consider the requirement to sometimes compromise, consider the lawfare, consideration the RINOs that must be cojoled to go along, etc. I truly suggest Grok as a first start for a deeper dive, just as Jeff referenced in this post.
Dude are you seriously trying to school me on research? If so you are way out of line. FWIW I disdain Grok because I do not need to be spoon fed simple concepts. I do my own research, have for decades, and that has formed the basis of my not inconsiderable knowledge.
Chick, the first of my comment was in response to your post, the rest was a general comment not meant to you personnaly. ( the "Chick" was a mirror of the tone set by Dude, and a bit of humor. I have done tremendous research as well, however Grok is an excellent resource to start a deep search, saving immense time in many cases. Grok can also be educated, at least within your own kept communications. BTW, for many many subjects.
Dude and chick are not equivalents.
Excellent, David.
Yes, the many things Trump has done - many here are good at that, but not so good at holding him accountable for the many not so good things. Just recently his envoy to Israel (Huckabee) met secretly with an actual convicted traitor of the US (Jonathan Pollard) who Trump let out of prison (he should have been there for life). Huckabee should at very minimum be fired. Can you imagine the outcry if this had happened under pedo Joe? But under Trump, crickets.
But hey, anything for the zionists.
Much more detail needed, look who Trump has met with. Yet has done so for good reason
More detail is needed? Nope - he let a known traitor out of prison and then his guy met with him secretly. Sorry - this is utterly ridiculous and an egregious assault on national security.
Thank goodness we cancelled the New World Order who took no vaccines.
I second your opinion. I watched mammadammadingdong at the WH with Trump. In all the pictures he is not smiling and looks so uncomfortable. His body language was very telling. He was there only to make sure the federal funding does not stop. He is so easy to read. He is and will be a full disaster.
Mandami was lying through his big pearly whites. He thinks he playing Trump and Trump knows he’s playing Mandami. NYC will be War Zone in a few months.
Mamdani was SO out of his league with Trump. He’s sweating big time as he realized that Trump holds most all of the cards. My husband said he was groveling.
It will keep the social workers very busy, lol!
Yes, Lori. Strange turn of events and somewhat amusing. Mamdani was attempting to crawl out of his skin because he was so embarrassed to be in the same room with the guy whom his constituents abhor.
Trump’s quip to Mamdani to ‘just call me a Fascist’ rather than fumbling around to reporter’s question was classic, Teflon Don. A peek into the differences between public and private, Trump.
agreed.
You're absolutely right.
The "success" of democommunism is predicated on obtaining other people's money aka federal funds or NGO type funding aka stolen federal funds.
Watch for the virtue signaling after the first "free" bus rides, train rides and ice cream cones.
In communism, the government replaces God. No need to look to Him to supply their daily needs - the government will take care of that. It is sad to see so many Christians embracing this!
Like the Pope?
The Pope needs to mind his own business in Italy and not be piping in about our immigration policy. My idea is to send all the illegal criminal immigrants to Vatican City so the Pope can rehab them since he is so forgiving. Watch how fast that would be stopped.
Evangelical Christians please.
Huh?
Christian Zionists who follow the Scofield Bible, not that of Jesus.
James,
Your dialogue is absolutely brilliant!
Thank you for taking the time to write this.

Mandami proposed NYC have it's own bank to finance NYC projects.
That's bold to go around Wall St. and the Federal Reserve.
The State Bank of North Dakota has been in existence for decades. Sen Hoeven from ND was the director of the Bank for many years before he ran for Governor.
We should have 50 State banks to save the economy.
Too much stock manipulation including Trump.
or just none. How about no banks that can devalue our hard-earned dollars? (thought I'd still prefer state ones to federal. Then people can at least move to states that have better policies)
Interesting.
Some people have been proposing that for California for years.
With deposits made by tax payers from all over the country I'm sure.
Already happening with the IRS.
Communist movement was funded by the Bank of England and Wall St. They created the Bolsheviks against the Czar and everyone else.
Bankers have us in a polycrisis.
"Thus the Drug Trust, while maintaining the Stalinist Communist Government in Russia, simultaneously maintained a Communist back up regime in the United States, the Trotskyite Movement, in case the Stalinist regime should fall."
Eustace Mullins
Murder By Injection.
As in, London School of Economics founded by Fabians. Irony, much?
Seen in multiple places going back ~15 years that Hitler was indoctrinated at the Tavistock Institute. The cabal funded and smuggled Lenin back in to Russia, so it wouldn't shock me in the least if it were true. Brits are behind most global shenanigans.
This is true. And efforts date back to the Illuminate who engineered the French Revolution, which was proto-Marxism. That is, Karl Marx before Marx.
Mullins was so right, and just about everything. I often think on the title of Murder By Injection and how prophetic ... and welcome to the Merry World of Covid.
Mullins has an attachment on the internet about both uprisings in US and France.
Thanks. And by the way, I chatted with Eustace a handful of time. I rather did like him, very much so. And such a fine mind.
I remember you now.
What a truth teller.
Fired from his job at the Library of Congress after his book on the Federal Federal Reserve by the precursor group of the ADL
It's no fluke, but a historical nod that the Game of Thrones series' characters had to get war money from "The Iron Bank".
And Karl Marx came from a long line of rabbis. His full name was Moses Mordecai Karl Marx Levy. And Leon Trotsky's birth name was Lev Bronstein. Just saying.
"On Friday afternoon, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani met with President Donald Trump in the White House, followed by a 30-minute press conference from the Oval Office. The event was a grotesque love-fest, during which Mamdani, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), declared a “partnership” and a pledge to “work together” with the fascist Trump.
It is necessary to memorialize the exchanges that took place, as they should be a defining experience for workers and young people undergoing a process of political radicalization.
Trump began by congratulating Mamdani for his electoral victory, declaring, “The better he does, the happier I am” and “there is no difference in party.” He added that “we are going to be helping [Mamdani] to make everybody’s dream come true.” Mamdani responded in kind, describing the meeting as “productive” and “focused on a place of shared admiration and love, which is New York City.”
Mamdani announces “partnership” with hated would-be dictator Trump - World Socialist Web Site https://share.google/yOMZNjebe2byg3efP
Of course Trump does not support Mamdani. He’s just staying neutral and letting the man hang himself with his own noose. Mamdani’s failures will help Republicans for the midterms.
I didn't watch it all, but it's clear to me that Trump is playing with him. Attacking Mamdani and his commie plans would only energize his base and the Dems. Trump is saying; "You want a commie for a mayor? Fine; good luck!"
Correct. As usual, Trump keeps his friends close, and his enemies "closer". Mamdani, the communist (like Xi) is the antithesis of free market capitalism. Trump is the MAGA America First pragmatist, and he is able to create a relationship which will ultimately build on, and support his MAGA, America First pragmatism. I'm not nearly that good, I'd rather just shoot them and be done, rhetorically of course!!
He won 80 percent of Gen Z voters with more votes than any Mayoral race since 1969.
Smell the coffee.
I smell wholesale election fraud. It was an all mail in election lacking voter identity and end-to-end chain of custody. So there is NO way to determine who actually voted. Its not too astonishing that you would attempt to legitimize an election which is un-verifiable and therefore un-certifiable.
in NY even illegals can vote
Yes. Couple that with a wholly unconstitutional method designed for conducting a s_Election and you get a mamdani. President Trump must restore elections before 2026 at least at the Federal level for federal positions, or they will steal it. You can see them falsely building the fake blue wave already as the predicate for the manipulation.
He also had a huge army of supporters on the Street.
Wall St. Money opposed him big time. Gen Z supports his protests against genocide. Election problems are real, but there are Gen Z revolutions around the world. Check out Dean Henderson on Substack.
Could be a there there.
Election fraud, Period, Full Stop.
Mamdani protests genocide...how ironic.
An estimated 8 million did not vote
That's the population of NYC?
That depends, are you including illegals?
Nonetheless, it is a very bad look. And Trump's word hubris is doing him in. It is doing immense damage to his base, especially with key swing voters in the younger generations.
His support of genocidal Israel is the major issue that is leading to his downfall...
AND... The way he is fighting the release of unredacted Epstein materials, after lying out his ass about them being a nothing-burger and a Dem "hoax"... to me means that IF the truth ever comes out (doubtful)... it could force his resignation...
Trump says Mamdani has a bunch of good ideas.
One New York huckster to another
Enemies closer, press the flesh, intertwine economic interests, and put a leash on the jihadi. That's what I see happening.
Exactly my thoughts, Charlotte. Instead of sending the National Guard to NYC, if I was in charge, I would seriously workshop a scenario where the federal government stands back, lets the natural consequences play out in NYC, and holds back for a while. The people need to really understand the consequences of their choices, and that won’t happen if the National Guard and ICE come in and clean up the criminal element and deport a bunch of people.
Really, that’s my feeling on many of these sanctuary cities. What’s the highest crime city that’s not a sanctuary city? That’s where I would open discussions with the leadership as far as helping to clean up the crime and illegal criminal population.
One would think that people would want to "clean up the criminal element" as you state.
I'm sure there are rational persons out there that want that but there doesn't seem to be an organized, visible, and loud voice for those people.
"With the Fascist Trump" and "would-be dictator Trump". Delusional.
If you would like to hear facts and legitimate information about President Trump's efforts for the American people, please take some time to watch VP Vance's Breitbart interview. Starts at about 17 minutes in and ends at about 43 minutes. 26 minutes well worth your time. By all means, refute him if you can, but with facts, not more delusion.

He essentially said the same about Xi. Not worried. Trump always has a long game.
Like the life expectancy of his wonderful vaccine.
No one ever arrested.
"But whatever the method used, the Committee of 300 made sure that all would-be aspirants for the White House got the message: 'No one is beyond our reach'. That this message remains just as forceful as it was when Kennedy was murdered and Nixon hounded out of office.... should be cause for concern among those who worry about the future of the United States."
The Committee of 300
John Coleman, 1992
It was not "his" wonderful vaccine. He had the diabolical Fauci running the shit show, "Pharma-ed up" to the max, and skilled at mass murder schemes as a veteran of the AIDS/AZT debacle. Or do you think Trump is a principle in the depopulation agenda?
He just entertained the chairman of Pfizer at a dinner and made claims about how many lives he saved with the jab.
It's a big club and you ain't in it.
I agree with you on this, but I'm beginning to think that it's just not possible for someone to be in Washington and not play the game.
Again, what Trump says and does in the long game differs. Remember he tried to bring in Scott Atlas on Pence's Covid dunce confederation, but unfortunately Pence didn't bring him to the fore and shitcan that moron Birx and put a sock in Fauci's mouth.
Maha, Correct. But not just human cockroach fauci, there was also Benedict pence, "scarf" birx and so many of fauci's hand picked liars in "Public Death..... errr.... I mean Health agencies, big pharma, the lying media, the WHO, etc. Trump made a mistake trusting any of them, but he learned from it and this second term is proof.
"Discussing" anything with forever contrarian and anti-MAGA 'tard bard is an exercise in futility and wasted time/energy.
Dan, It's good you pointed to the whole Covid ecosystem. As far as Bard, we can hope he sees the light.

Nice post Valerie, I hope people take time to read it.
It’s not my post, I just thought it was an interesting perspective. I only write in comment sections. 😅
I guess I should have said nice re-stack!
I just don’t want to take credit for someone else’s work.
C&C and Jupplandia are my two go-to websites every day. Can always count on both for enlightenment AND entertainment. Daniel Jupp is a Brit who understands the American political system better than most Americans (not including those here).
I didn’t know he was British but I thought he might be, it’s a newer follow for me.
Read him enough and you'll see the British humor. Very distinctive.
Interesting. Thanks Valerie❤️
Thanks for the link, Valerie. This Daniel Jupp is a master of prose and analysis. I totally enjoyed the description and comments there.
He’s a new one for me but I really like his writing style so far too!
Very intriguing & thought provoking post, Valerie. Thanks!
Thanks for posting that link, Valerie.
Cool!
Given the level of TDS among Mamdani supporters, his approval probably just went down, lol.
The difference between a Republican and a Democrat is how they problem solve.
When a democrat comes up against a problem they complain and look for someone else to fix and pay for the problem. When a Republican comes up against a problem they get to work figuring out the problem and then fix it themselves.
unless they're in congress
Excellent commentary and thesis: "Communism combines all the 7 deadly sins, that’s what’s so evil about it, but it converts sin into virtue, you see that’s what liberalism has become, that’s Mamdani." You touched on Envy, Greed, Pride, and Sloth. Please, I want to hear how you would relate the remaining deadly sins - Gluttony, Wrath, and Lust to communism. Thank-you!
Very well stated, James.
You’re not wrong at all.
Well said
So why did Trump have Mamdani to the White House and then say publicly he thinks Mamdani will surprise people and do a good job? He gets into this ridiculous verbal war with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie - who he should at least respect even if they don't agree on everything and gets behind the rapper turned Mayor Elect Zohran Mamdani? Really? Trump needs to tone down the rhetoric and his ego. (Yes, I did vote for Trump all 3x). However, I am tired of the drama and the show around everything. I am tried of how one minute he loves this or that person and then he flips on a dime and is verbally assaulting them and calling them losers. It's below his office and really off putting.
I think there is a problem with Israel. I agree with Tucker's position on that. And no, I am not an anti-semite. We do not need to be dragged into their war with Iran. We will never get the full story on Epstein - a few people will be thrown under the bus as sacrificial lambs - but the deeper issues with Epstein and the intelligence agencies and Mossad will be kept from the public. I think Trump is getting rolled by Israel.
Our society is fractured. I don't think the unravelling is finished. There will be more - I think it will intensify alongside the beginnings of reconstruction. But it is hard to build a new world when large cohorts of people don't see or acknowledge the underlying issues.
I did watch the Tucker interview with Nick Fuentes. I found Nick Fuentes interesting. He's young - he needs to keep growing and developing wisdom but I am not at all surprised people are listening to him. I did not find him some sort of ultra right wing white supremacist though he does say provocative things. When you hear the story of how Ben Shapiro tried to destroy Fuentes when he was just a freshman college student because Fuentes dared to question Israel - you may see Ben Shapiro in a different light. The Israeli lobby has too much power over our politicians.
SCIENCE: doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. Much of it is indeed insane but I have looked in the eyes of insanity and that is not it. For starters, insanity has NO expectations.
Redefining: What the left does when their ideologies produce Hitler, Stalin, Mao, etc. Socialism is great, they say, it is Fascism we must abhor. Not the Obama fascism but something else to be used later.
Deadly Sins: All sins are deadly. It is a distraction that evil employs to focus on the sins of others when our own wages of sin are paid the same. Death is the retirement plan of sin and the seemingly insignificant ones are harder to put away.
Communism = Satanism. Exactly right. Unfortunately, there are many other words that can go on the left of that equation and still be logical valid.
Voltaire was correct but it could be expanded to : "It is nearly impossible to free fools from anything"

Wow Jeff! Great, great article and the recap at the beginning was just excellent, beyond words!!
I am always struck by how you get to the heart of it and explain it so succinctly!
Thank you!
He explained MTG's departure in a way that finally made sense to me. I studied Civil War era politics many decades ago but did not think of the parallel until Jeff pointed it out.
Reconstruction didn’t work out well. It eventually led to the KKK and other Democrat crimes.
Arguably because Lincoln was assassinated and his plans for a true reconciliation were never enacted. Might be somewhat of a parallel with the effects of Charlie Kirk's assassination on this administration…
Trump's team seems to be suppressing the Kirk murder... and the Butler event... and both smell to high heaven...
Much like the suppression of the Epstein, 911 and JFK files... could the prime Kirk suspect (Mossad) be determining Trump's actions on all these? He is so obviously controlled...
https://rense.com/general98/Most_Photographed/
Take a look at Candace Owens data (on substack) if you want to know more about the Kirk murder. She's waist deep in details. Including $8 Million missing from TPUSA
I agree, and like Candace a lot...
But then again I am a white supremacist, and of course, a racist and Nazi. :-)
I really like Tucker too, but REALLY like Col Macgregor... what a sharp, informed patriot!
Fuentes makes a lot of great points too, despite the hypocrites wetting their panties...
Hey AD, just watched that link you posted. Sorry not buying the palm gun theory. That shot with a palm gun even at 10-15 ft would be damn near impossible without hand to eye coordination. You'd basically have to believe this guy pulled off a killshot in the head or neck without aiming is a one in a million. A shot like that would have to be with a rifle and scope or laser. Can't believe an assassin would risk something like that at close range with people all around him. Totally not feasible. Odds are he would have missed and hit someone behind Charlie. Oopsie!
I don’t know. If you read her exit letter it is demoralizing, that the swamp is still in control and that Trump is part of it in her opinion.
She’s bitter, but not without reason. Congress defeated her by not bringing her bills, Trump’s promises, to the floor for votes.
The chances are greater than zero that MTG has been given another mission by the Trumpster and the dust up was all fake. Maybe she'll be a double agent inside the Dem party apparatus. Maybe she'll replace Joy Behar on the View?? Maybe The Trumpster just kicked her out of Congress for being an ahole too. With The Donald it's hard to know what tricks he has up his sleeve.
She is retiring two days after earning her congressional pension…they need to serve five years, and she made it five years and two days before moving on. It must be nice to earn a lifelong pension after five years of work.
My first thought was also “what’s she leaving Congress to do?” Because she doesn’t seem like the type to give up go quietly into the night.
I heard she is a business owner. She mentioned it herself in one of the interviews I heard. I have to research what business she has exactly. Perhaps she just served for 5 years to secure the pension as some commented above. 🤷🏼♀️
I heard it was construction
Right. And I'm sure Trump has anticipated all that already, at a minimum.
double agent, I hope so.
Ha! Me too. I love MTG. What a firecracker!
One thing for sure, she'll be around up to something. I don't see her in a rocking chair on a front porch for a few decades yet, lol.
That is EXACTLY what I was just thinking. I think she has something in place. I agree
Trump calling her a "traitor" was the most repulsive, vile and low thing I ever encountered in politics. From a person I had high hopes for.
He also has been repulsive in his treatment of Thomas Massie.
I don't think most here are aware that Trump let an actual traitor (Jonathan Pollard) out of prison who was convicted for life, after receiving bribe money from Miriam Adelson.
I love Trump calls an actual patriot a traitor, while he at the same time takes bribes from Marian Addelson and lets an actual convicted traitor Jonathan Pollard out of prison, who should have been there for life.
Ironic ain't it?
Trump and Cabinet are all far more malignant, corrupt, lying assholes than MTG.
My thoughts also. I think Trump will ask MTG to handle some phase of GA politics, or she will participate in a Vance administration [i hope on both scenarios ].
Trump recognizes her talent and drive. He is very good at using the services of the best people.
Agreed. Excellent Analysis. Doesn’t make any less painful to see America Firsters pushed aside. Time will tell where it all leads. Fourth Turnings sure are interesting!
nothing says rebuilding like $21 trillion of new productive investments
What exactly are these investments? So far I think it is only verbal commitments. Did you happen to hear Zuck's hot mic moment some months ago during a big WH mtg that Trump invited his swamp scum in for? He asked Zuck how much Meta would be investing and he stuttered for a minute before throwing out a number (the same number Apple CEO just discussed) and was later caught on a hot mic saying he wasn't ready for that question and didn't know how much POTUS wanted him to say.
It's all a show and many people are being played by it. Taxpayer investments to billionaires, who will at some point be bailed out because AI is going to flop. But according to recent remarks from Elon AI and robotics are going to cure world poverty!! What an effing joke.
nonsense - huge investments in chip manufacturing, electronics, automobiles and many more including the sale of fighter jets to SA - you are the joke
Wow, fighter jets - the arms industry which is wholly propped up by the government. Chips - you mean the Nvidia bubble which is about to burst - the stock is being shorted if you weren't aware. Auto sales are also in the basement. Who is the joke? Do you always blindly believe what politicians (known liars) tell you?
Can you show me any actual proof of investments from the private sector - or is it just our tax money to be invested? The economy is in shambles, if you haven't noticed. Layoffs in october were the highest in decades. Oil is plummeting. Home sales are still way way down. All indicators that the economy is not what your tribe leaders claims it to be.
guessing you
missed that most is coming from foreign companies - and with GDP set to come in @4% the economy is hardly in a mess - oil is down because supply is way up and gas is down - what’s wrong with that - taxes reduce in the BBB will further increase buying power and economic activity - so time will tell but I can see that the signs are pointing to a very positive outcome
Regarding MTG, Jeff Childers' wrote, "But here’s the harsh reality: Trump doesn’t need the chaos wing anymore. His first term was about demolition. The second term is about reconstruction."
This is what so many seem to be missing. There's constructive criticism and then there's creating chaos for chaos' sake. If not tempered closely, the former turns into the latter.
Last week Jeff Childers posted a clip from right-leaning pollster (and Trump supporter) Mark Mitchell who gave real-time commentary on Trump's Laura Ingraham interview. Many on our side (including me) found that interview really concerning as Trump seemed really out of touch. Mitchell voiced that publicly in an interview with Alex Jones based on polling he has, particularly from the under-35 crowd. Trump is losing them.
Trump saw the interview and invited Mitchell to the White House to discuss it. Perception is reality. Since then, we've seen a genuine recalibration of messaging coming from the White House on immigration, H1b's, Epstein, and other hot button issues. That is the beauty of good-faith constructive criticism, it can help course correct when a leader is getting bad advice or incomplete information. Mitchell was entirely gracious about it afterwards.
MTG seemed to be going off the rails recently, veering from constructive criticism to a more personal rift with Trump. That culminated in Trump withdrawing support for MTG's reelection. Now she announced she won't be running herself.
Mitchell was an example of how to do it, MTG (as much as we love her) was an example of how not to do it. A pretty stark contrast.
Exactly. She didn’t take time to read the tea leaves…or the room. Too bad, really. Trump is the master of transactional relationships. She could have learned a lot from him if she’d have taken a step back (and a breath).
I can understand her frustration. Working hard on getting a number of Bills written only to watch them gather dust because votes in Congress are so tight. Nothing gets passed. It is frustrating for the whole country to watch the government be ham strung.
From political experience, some burn out. But also, some expand their reach from the outside.
I have no complaints about either Massie or Green. They have been targeted and demonized for having been effective leaders. It's always the same old, same old.
No question that MTG was a change agent. But, there is a dark side to MTG.
MTG was just calling out Trump’s bad policies. He’s the one who made it personal.
This last week 1600 new H-1B's were admitted into the country. The same as weeks before going back years. Nothing has changed. All these H-1B's can have kids that will be citizens. The Trump admin could have ended this program but has not. On it goes
1600 too many. Too many of my friends at AT&T had to train their Indian replacements or forfeit their severance (and accrued benefits) before the American workers were terminated. This happened at Disney and, I’m sure hundreds of other US companies. Absolutely despicable.
)
I thought Jeff said that o Lu CONGRESS can change the H1B program
Trump did make a change to H1B last summer. At first everybody was rejoicing cuz it seemed great. But then a day later the White House said no, The $100,000 is only for new people coming in. Doesn't apply to one's already here. And initially it was thought of to be an annual $100,000 but it's only one time. So he did make a change without Congress but it was not one that was actually effective. Also, Trump is under the impression that we need all these h1bs. He thinks they're the highly skilled or genius level Visa holders which is again false that is a different category of visa, not H1B
Agreed. But I’m sure Jeff said that CONGRESS has to make any change permanent and surely we agree they are NOT gg to do anything
Some of US had an exchange in the comments yesterday about contrarians, and my comment was that it’s easy for contrarians to become intractable and be contrarian for the sake of it. I think that’s what happened with MTG.
I think you’re right, and that’s not a good thing. As Jeff C. said, she moved from constructive criticism to destructive.
Trump should never had attacked MTG or Tom Massie. Both are strong Constitutionalists who know MAGA cannot happen without returning to the fundamental principles framed in our Constitution. We have tremendous national debt, yet Trump keeps supporting deficit omnibus spending bills. Trump has also refused to place America first with Ukraine and Israel. We shouldn’t be loaning money from China to wage foreign proxy wars. As to housing affordability, end the unconstitutional Department of Education and the higher education loans to students which traps graduates into decades of debt, serves to make bankers rich and supports the Marxist ideology propaganda taught in the schools.
I would love to see some way to make it painful for Corporations to own single family homes. That would ease the housing situation for all of the US; but I guess it has to happen gradually to keep housing prices from crashing overall. I imagine it goes something like this - "Why yes, corrupt company, you may own single family homes, for rental or investment opportunities, but that will require a "corporate tax" of $50,000-100,000. Annually. For each one." And the same treatment for foreign governments. Think it would help?
It still doesn’t explain why NONE of her bills have been brought to the floor. The uniparty is biding its time waiting for Trump to be gone. You heard the Bush’s -devils every one
It is widely reported that MTG’s personal wealth has ballooned from $700K five years ago to over $24 million today. 👀 She’s made some amazingly “fortunate” stock purchases to amass that fortune, almost as if she knew that certain government contracts were going to be awarded. 🤔 She started protesting against mass deportations after it adversely affected her construction business. And what’s with her affair with the weird sex guru? Tbh, I tried to avoid reading too much about him 🥴
On top of that, suddenly she’s a media darling to the left, going on libtard shows like The View and basking in their newfound adoration of her. The icing on the cake is her sudden resignation, conveniently timed TWO DAYS after her permanent cushy federal pension and lifetime health insurance benefits vest on 1/3/26. TWO. DAYS.
In my opinion, she has shown herself to be an utter charlatan and grifter.
I can go along with that. Still doesn’t change the comment about bills collecting dust. No one is doing anything about any of the corruption. Dive found all kinds of fraud - seen any arrests? Now I read that Ray Epps wife is a Dominion mucky muck - no arrests. Just the little
Guys get arrested
Except that her family owns a HUGE CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS that has grown and continues to grow. While she has made some money in the stock market, her family business is where most of that wealth came from.
From $700,000 to $24 million in five years? 🤔
I believe she took more ownership of the family business after her divorce. I haven't seen the books, but have siblings that know her and have connections to her construction business.
If there was not backlash from the base, Trump would have his way with us unobstructed. And the clown show would go on either unabated or unmodified. So, criticism is the chief means of pressuring for what we really want, and basically the campaign/Trump rally promises.
MTG, her chief sin and that of Massie is that they are uncontrollable by the administration and that would not matter except both are speaking from the Congressional platform. And once one garners real attention getting power, then one becomes a target. Like Charlie Kirk.
Trump calls a MTG, a patriot, a traitor. But after receiving a bribe from zionist miriam adelson, he lets an actual convicted traitor out of prison (Jonathan Pollard) who should have rotted there for life. Still waiting for Trump to throw the books at Huckabee who just met secretly with said traitor in Israel......I'll keep waiting.
One of the great and sometimes not-so-great things about Trump is he can turn on a dime. I am truly hopeful he is turning in the right direction again.
That seems true but who’s to say what private efforts she made before going nuclear.
There is a fine line somewhere, between working within the 'system' to change the system vs standing outside of it lodging grenades. See this in our state legislature and the grenade throwers are just creating a lot of noise and damage and not accomplishing what they set out to accomplish. But the system does have a lot of corruption and victories take years, not months, and sometimes we NEED to get it done in months. No magic strategy that works every time.
I get the frustration with Congress, and loved her point about codifying Trump's EO's into law SHOULD be the Republicans first order of business instead of wasting so much times on these 'soundbite for re-election' hearings and political grandstanding. And I agree that Trump is single mindedly focused on his agenda and does not appreciate the distraction. In an arm-wrestling contest, she got out-muscled.
How about making it illegal for large stock portfolio's, ie Blackrock et al, to buy up, en mass, houses across the US.
Actually BlackRock is being conflated with “Blackstone.”
BlackRock does not directly purchase single-family homes. BlackRock is primarily financial, not operational.
However Blackstone is a private equity firm that has acquired thousands of homes, particularly after the 2008 financial crisis, and is responsible for a significant portion of institutional single-family rental ownership.
Yes and no. Blackrock, State Street, and Vanguard own controlling interest in virtually all multinational corporations of any size.
And Blackstone is conflated with Treadstone. Which means there's going to be some nasty black ops. Or is that blackrock ops? Probably both.
You forgot Blackops Rocks...
Don't you mean Black Pop Rocks?
"Not directly" is the operative phrase. BlackRock, founded in 1988, became independent from Blackstone in 1994.
This. It’s become a game of tiddly winks for giant investment concerns.
How about some anti-trust action?
And, I heard the nature conservancy has gobbled up usable land. Who is going to undo this climate hoax theft?
How about making it illegal for foreigners to own American real estate? According to Newsweek and Paloaltoonline.com, Foreign buyers accounted for about 15% of all residential real estate purchases in California between April 2024 and March 2025.
Trump’s bragging about the American dream of home ownership while at the same time not doing a thing to help it, like stopping Wall Street! Unbelievable!
Do you want to be told you cant sell your house to the highest bidder?
Yes. When we sold our house in the Seattle area in 2020, we had one offer, a Chinese investor. It was a fluke: after a feeding frenzy all summer, the weekend we went on the market, the wildfire smoke rolled in and everything stopped while regular buyers stayed inside. We wanted to reject the offer, but our agent said the guy would probably sue us for discrimination because the offer was full price. He turned it into a rental, and the rent was a third higher than out mortgage payment had been.
So what's the moral to your story ?
Outlaw foreign investment in real property.
Owning property should be a right of citizenship.
So be like Mexico, how has that worked out ?
I know many who own fee simple property in Mexico. Has that recently changed?
I wanted the option to not sell to an investor, but was not allowed to make that choice. He was the highest bidder, and I was forced to accept his offer.
Who forced you ?
If I may interject, legal ramifications, as he alluded to earlier.
That the average person does not have the leverage or the power to take this behemoth on. Suppose the person could have just decided to take it off the market but if you need to sell you may not have options. Our son and his wife submitted a bid on a house in 2021 that was actually a little lower than one offered by an investor, but the seller (who was in a nursing home) said she didn't want to sell to an investor and accepted their bid. No idea if she got sued by the investor.
We didn’t have that option because the Chinese guy made an offer. If we had gotten multiple offers, it’s possible we could have picked the one we wanted and the terms would have been private. The issue was that we didn’t have a choice to say no to an investor. So to David’s original point above, yes, I don’t care if the highest bidder is an investor, I don’t want to sell my house to someone who is just gaming our system and hurting my adult children in the process by artificially driving up home prices and charging them punishingly high rent, so that they can never afford to buy their own home.
Donna, yes - potential buyers often write pleading, warm-hearted letters to the seller in an effort to influence their choice. And apparently it works.
My son and his wife did that. Said they loved the house, and it would be their forever home and they wanted to start a family there. Did not say it was very dated and they have spent the last 4 years DIY updating it, but given they got the last of the 2.99% financing, it will probably be their forever home, lol. It had 'good bones' and a half acre lot for their dogs but shag carpeting and yellow linoleum in the kitchen and popcorn ceilings, all replaced at this point.
Moral: Stop wildfires?
Seattle would have had their own Palisades by now except that it rains a lot.
I think one moral could be that people buy houses more often in spring and summer than in the fall and winter, so sell when people want to buy. I don't know if Seattle is different. Maybe they don't have as many kids, who make school-year purchases inconvenient.
Seattle is completely different. I think, though, it’s similar to CA or really anywhere on the west coast. It was expensive when we arrived in 1990, and took extreme effort then to get into the homeowner class. We left for the Midwest for a few years in the early 2000s, and when my husband went house hunting in November of 2005 back in Bothell (a Seattle suburb) he said to the agent “let’s make an offer right now” five minutes after walking in. He had already lost on two houses that morning, and another couple was waiting outside for their turn to look it over.
House sellers miss the point by a large margin. I have heard friends claim making thousands of dollars on the sale of the family home. Of course this ignores maintenance, upkeep, taxes, insurance, etc. etc. ad nauseum. But most importantly, it ignores the obvious fact that the place they replace the sold home with will have also increased dramatically in price.
Us greedy Boomers are gna stay in our 4000sf homes, until we're 80 then downsize, spend our 500k at the casinos.
More like spend it all on unaffordable 'healthcare' so you can stay in unaffordable 'assisted living.' Best of luck to you.
Both parents are 90 still live together in house bought in 72. Grandparents died in mid 90s.
Dont smoke, not overweight, am active, figure i will have a good 10 years to blow my money in the casinos.
Boomers were the last healthy generation.
That's great, David. Sincerely happy for you. Boomers are the last healthy generation in large part because they weren't subjected to nearly as many childhood vaccinations. Gen X is less so in part because of the vaxes and because we have to care for our poisoned children. One nice thing about my generation is that we never counted on relying on generational wealth. It wouldn't be enough to matter anyway. I did see the writing on the wall for my kids though. I took what there was available to me and developed a system that paid the bills and allowed for some luxuries. I will live out however many years are afforded me and they can do the same. That is as long as the commies don't steal it.
Good luck considering Trump is boys with Larry Fink. People think he's draining the swamp and he is merely replacing it with his own.
Once the millions of illegals are gone the housing available will improve, for sale and rentals.
100%. I thought the same thing. Why are they allowed to buy so much? Buying a house should be mostly reserved for individuals. Allowing huge corporations to buy up all the property can’t be a good thing. They are absolutely driving up the housing costs.
Exactly this!! And banks aren't supposed to be holding companies, right??
Booyah!
We had a 30 year mortgage and paid it off in 18 years with extra toward the principle each month.
You did well. It took us 20 years to do it.
You did it too. Well done Maha. Our interest rate was never below 6.4%. I didn't want to pay all that interest.
Ask any mortgage broker; the 50 year mortgage has been around for many years; Trump didn't invent it.
Aimed at (wait for it) young people/firt time buyers with fairish credit who expect to refi later on when their credit and borrowing ability improves.
We bought a home in early 1989 and our initial interest rate on a 30 year was 9.5%. Between 1989 and 1994 we re-fi'd 3 times and finally ended up with a rate of 5.5% or some such. We paid it off in about 20 years rather than 30. I think most people would likely do something similar, or perhaps move somewhere else, but I can't see many actually keeping the loans going for 50 years.
Excellent news that @StateDept recognizes mass migration as existential threat in Europe. Moratorium, then mass deportations the solution. Do America concurrently.
Might already be too late... especially for the EU.
I heard that, but I hope not. I'm not going to visit probably for 5 to 10 years to let them clean it up. Can't have my visions of a beautiful Europe destroyed by seeing nons everywhere.
By then it will be a muslim country, under sharia law.
Take a hajib... but remember, deodorant is prohibited!!
Yep, if extremely drastic action is not taken post haste, this is the fate. If it's God's will, nothing can stop it.
I guess I am a cynic... I don't see God paying much attention...
The world, including America... is a hot mess.
🙏 believe me, I get it. It's tough. I barely like to leave my house anymore.
Not deportation, but rather, as someone else said, "repatriation" to the country where they came from!!!
definitely 100%! Back to their ancestral homelands. Call it Deportation, repatriation, resettlement, idc, just get them out & not into any White countries. Why is it always third world nons that "they" (who shall not be named) want to bring to White Nations? Skyrocketing our crime, lowering our IQ, destabilizing our economies, diminishing our quality of life. They can take what they learned from us and make their Nations better if they like (doubtful, look at the examples all over the world, South Africa, Haiti, South America etc etc etc), either way they gots to go.
I am increasingly becoming somewhat of a Nick Fuentes expert because my 18 year old son really likes him (though acknowledges he is a provocateur and bomb-thrower). I will add to the bio provided by Jeff, that Nick was also placed on a "no fly" list by the USG for over a year following....that's right, J6. The USG also debanked him and confiscated all of his money (which at that time, for such a young man, was a pretty significant amount - I'm not sure if he got it back). Finally, a would be assassin of his own was killed outside of his home last year so I'd say he has reasons to be feisty.
The war being fought on the right has been long coming. Given yesterday's claim in the Daily Mail that the "Bush Family" is looking to reign over the GOP in a post-Trump world, we better get it fought and settled soon. I, for one, am not going back to the GOP of old.
Note that Fuentes is being promoted by the likes of The NY Times. Democrats see him as a way to smear and fracture MAGA. It’s another Unite the Right operation: tie everyone on the right to the extreme fringes (in a way the media never ties Democrats to leftist fringes).
I'd say all the more reason to dialogue with the "far right" figures and attempt to moderate their views. I do recommend watching Tucker's interview with Fuentes. He is a young, smart, articulate, but obviously immature man whose views will only be hardened by ostracizing him. He could be an asset.
I’m always in favor of dialog. I object to “deplatforming” on principle.
Then Trump should invite him to the Whitehouse, and pull him in.
Wow. Can you imagine the response by certain people on the Right? Holy cow. Anyway, I mentioned it in another response, but Fuentes actually dined with Trump at Mar a Lago in 2022.
There are always "certain people". I discovered in practice that the most certain of us often lack information. Our POTUS can be an enigma to even his most loyal followers. I say, to quote Jeff Childers, "let the man work".
Right? Like he did with the new communist mayor.
Honestly, Nick's main promoter is Ben Shapiro. He talks about him constantly. They are to sides of the establishment coin.
I posted last week an interview of Shiela Holm by Michael Jaco that showed a very old photo of a happy gathering of the Scherff (Bush) family smiling for a group photo with Martin Borman, Joseph Mengele, Reinhardt Ghelen, and Otto Skorzeny. Got virtually no views or comments, and I posted it soon after C&C dropped, but no one cared. Wake wake folks. The Bushes were not legitimate legal presidents, and they sure as heck aren't working for Americans.
In the early 1990s, I was vacationing in Mexico & met some guys from Pakistan. They said Bush has done a lot of really bad things. I didn't understand what they were saying back then because I supported Bush. I know now.
Bush's are evil incarnate. Prescott funded the German war machine. The only person Hoover debriefed after Nov 22 1963 was 41. He was behind the Reagan assassination attempt too, and had his hands all over 9/11. I know how you feel, as I feel I need to take a shower every time I remember I donated to the shrub (junior) in 2000. Clinton's are just Bush waterboys.
Yep...I read Cathy O'Brien's book and also realized how evil some other players are especially Dick Cheney (notice how there was no lying in state for him) Cheney was also one of the heads of the Targeted Individuals program. Evil beyond comprehension.
Uff, so true, and great way to put it - waterboys is apt. Amateurs.
My son is in this same zone though, like your son, recognizes the use of caution in taking too much to heart. It's scary times for our boys because their sense of the future seems so bleak in their young minds.
Precisely, Jenn. I counter-program almost every day in my house either in response to the Left's rhetoric or due to far, far right poison.
It's amazing how vigilant we have to be. I am constantly offering counter points to anything he talks to be about just so he can hear more perspective than the vitriol he hears from the talking heads.
It is bleak. Trump might be asking them to suit up to go to war for Israel or against Venezuela. Bankers wars….
He seems a very logical and reasonably healthy response to the hit that young American men are taking these days financially and emotionally (all the "toxic masculinity" bs).
I'm not going back to the old GOP either. It's America first republicanism now. I have always been an America first Republican, it's just that I didn't know I could have a leader who would exemplify that. Until Trump.
Not to worry (about the Bushies) - the grid is being laid out so the tech psychopaths will control everything! But hopefully they won't be successful.
Yes. Next to the pretty photo of the cozy white "American Dream" house, there should be a photo of one of the new AI processing, water-dragon, centers and label it The "American Reality."
Safe bet that Jeff has a teenage son who’s educating him on the young male thought process (a group that is leaving Trump in droves). Let the education continue. Dad has a lot to learn from this generation. They ain’t stupid.
The Bush Family cannot start burning in hell fast enough for me.
The eternal flames of Hell may run out of fuel.
I have seen it first hand, the corruption and do-nothingness of the GOP. Most of them are pathetic. And thanks for the indite. I found it interesting.
MTG choosing January 5th to leave is because on January 3rd she's been in Congress long enough to earn a life-long pension. If she's really fed up with what's happening, then leave now, before the gravy train date. What a farce.
When it comes to members of Congress, it is always about the money.
A nearly ubiquitous consideration here on Earth. Saints and few others aside.
Would you throw a pension away? I wouldn't.
I actually did when I worked for the govt. It was so hideous and against all my principles I left before I was pension worthy. Not one regret.
I too had 16 years military service & walked away
Sometimes for the sake of sanity and one's Soul, you have to.
I didn't leave without a pension, but it was delayed for 15 years, and half what it would have been, plus no job. Corporate Fortune 10 company and I was not ready to sing the song any more.
Bravo Lori!
Did you leave only a few weeks from it?
If so, sorry... but that was very foolish. You think the Gov cares, even a little?
I left 2 years before it and no, they don't care. I did it for myself and my sanity. I did not want to be corrupted in that way.
Ah... two years... far different that MTG's situation, yes?
I walked away from a pension, one year away, With Hughes Aircraft, now Raytheon, but for my own reasons... I didn;t think I could make it to retirement without having a heat attack... the political BS was overwhelming... even for a mellow and considerate guy like me!
Yes much different but I am glad she is getting her pension. And I am glad you walked away when you did. Health is more important than money. It takes strong individuals to walk away when they realize what they witness is poison, no matter how good the money, pension and time off. Good for you AD!
It would be retarded to not stay two days longer and get a pension. You wouldn't and Trump himself would say that would be dumb.
Its war pay for all the crap she has gone through these years. I have no problem with it.
This is hardly an insult. Any sane person would wait a few more days or weeks to collect a pension they have coming to them. It's common sense.
Get a life, roach... would YOU not wait the few days if a pension was on the table?
After all the mistreatment that good woman has endured?
Any person who holds a job would hold out for their pension, if it was within reach. Yes congress gets too much of our money, but again, smart people plan their retirements with money in mind.
I'm gonna miss her insider trades. She was the up and comer that was gonna overtake Grandma Nancy P.
Why would one shoot herself in the foot based purely on emotion not reasoned or reasonable?
I wonder what really going on. And if there is not more to the story and with Massie as well?
I wonder of it was a threat from the Zionist swine... that she could be "Kirked"??
The thought crossed my mind and ditto for Massie. Their Cretan Majesties, after all, can and will wipe out entire families. And if you noticed, there are these absurd pro-Zionist ads now flooding YouTube feed and elsewhere. 'They' are trying desperately to stuff the Israeli Alley Cat back into the sack with all manner of absurd ads and appeals. But the younger generations have caught onto them and they will never forget the massive affront visited upon them due to the pain and misery having been inflicted over their lives. And now with the Army of Counter-Zionism having crossed its Rubicon, there is no turning back.
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Those who were the persecutors were apostate the Old Testament faith. And some things don't appear to change. The world is always the world no matter the age in which one lives. And the world is ruled over by deception and/or the Great Deceiver. Our greater reward for faithfulness is in heaven and not of this world
Well said.
Sad more here don't get it.
I would do the same. Would you not?
I didn't realize that. That's pretty disappointing information. I'm not sure why I'd be surprised at this late stage. 🥺
Is that what you would do? Just saying.
Jeff completely mis-called this one. Trump viciously attacked MTG because she dared to insist on the release of all the Epstein files. And because she called out Israel’s ownership of our country.
Sure, her bills have gone nowhere because the Rs are just one end of the Uniparty. But she has been getting attacked (including threats on her life) for the above stances, and Trump threatening to primary her is everything you need to know. Massie, too.
Yeah, good for her though. It is, after all, a job. It doesn't make sense so many people are so bothered by this. If you've suffered through 5 years of gov't idiocy and opprobrium directed at you, by all means tough it out a few more days and get your pension.
If it is such a farce, there you give up what you have earned.

COMING SOON TO A THEATRE NEAR YOU!
Something we all need to pray about and pay attention to.
I met Dr. Jacob Pursley, an American missionary based on the border of Armenia and Iran (now known as the Trump Highway), on a mission trip to determine if Armenia meets the criteria for support of persecuted Christians. It’s crazy that the oldest officially Christian country in the world might actually meet the criteria with the state church persecuting the evangelical church. But that’s not what this is about.
This is about Dr. Jacob Pursley’s recently published newsletter and the fact that around 60% of the mosques in Iran have closed due to lack of interest. The Christian Church in Iran is growing faster than anywhere in the world. The people state that they are tired of a forced religion based on hate. They see the love of Jacob and his team, and they are drawn to Christ. This is the answer to the Islamization of the world. It is simply the great commission.
I remember when I was a young teenager hearing the parents discuss the Islamization of America and the world. They had said in around 30 years. It was going be a reality, according to the math. Amazing how smart your parents get as you grow older! I had heard the plan was to immigrate as peaceful, productive citizens and keep your head down and your mouth shut. Work hard, raise a lot of kids, grow them up to voting age, and start voting in legislatures supporting your religion. Once you reach a certain, sustainable percentage of the population, begin proselytization, peacefully. Once you reach a majority and have established command posts with sufficient power, began enforcing sharia law and forced conversion or death as we see in so much of the world. Sudan, in particular El Fasher where the RSF, with weapons and support from the UAE, recently, LITERALLY, raped and murdered their way into power across Darfur and continue to push eastward with their brutal regime. Bara, Babanousa, Ghubeish, and Umm Krediem. Rwanda. Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo, where even today Christians are being murdered and raped by radical Islamist forces. All across Africa as Isis and Al-Qaeda and they’re like expanded eastward out of Darfur.
It’s here folks. What are YOU going to do when they come for your women and children?
Trump just ended protected status for Somali refugees and is going after Somali gang members in Minnesota. I think we’re making progress.
Very good news. They do not assimilate and really have to go.
Start with that corrupt POS Omar.
Yeah and a corrupt Federal Judge just block it.
😤
The Islamization of America is happening! This is the real threat to the world that most do not want to face. The grooming gangs of Europe; what religion do they practice? What people group can not be criticized?
Unfortunately, we will have to kill them to protect our own. Very hard and sad to say but it is the truth unless you turn the other cheek as they rape your daughter in front of you and wait to be beheaded since most consider us infidels.
Or lead them to salvation! Jesus died and ROSE AGAIN for EVERYONE.
It won't happen but I love your optimism. Those Muslims that are fanatics cannot be reasoned with or compromise. What would have to happen is a Saul to Paul experience with every one of them and I just don't believe that will happen. Hope I am wrong though.
They can't be reasoned and will never, ever stop trying to kill you. (Terminators) And like the Borg, they believe your resistance is futile. We all need to show them it is NOT futile.
Zionist jews are as bad or worse.
But Dude, are Zionist Jews "really" Jews?
Good point!
But even the non-zionists jews in Israel, strongly against the current administration of insane butcher swine... are not in any way related to the biblical Hebrews...
Strange, but the Palestinians they are trying to wipe out... are.
One would think all the C&C "christians" that post so much pompous BS... would howl about it... but no...
Hi AD!
Fanatics/Extremists no matter where they are, who they are or what they believe as far as religion or anything else for that matter are all bad news.
Hi, Kiddo!
Yes, I do not disagree... the religious extremists are the worst, as they actually think that "God" is with them... insanity writ large... IF there is a "God", he would spit on them all.
Such a sad reality in Africa. Who is funding the rise of Islam dare we ask? I think most people would be surprised by the answer.
What is up with the inclusion of rape with so many radicals?
It's a time-honored war tactic with different aspects to it.
- It's a way to further break a people by attacking "their" women. (Think of Germany towards the end of WW2.) It psychologically and emotionally breaks the men who cannot defend their kin and country-women. It's even worse for the women and girls.
- It also impregnates many women at once, forever changing the enemy's genetic composition. This in turn breeds inter-generational alienation and strife since the fruit of rape will never be accepted by the mother in the same way as the fruit of love. This helps to weaken a society because maternal nurturing is the wellspring of a healthy and strong society and culture.
- Where family lineage and bloodlines are recognized and upheld, it serves as a means to establish legitimacy for invaders and conquerors who contract sanctioned relationships or marriage. How offspring are sired within that contract, willingly or unwillingly, is of no consequence to those who wish to legitimize their claims by their own laws and customs.
- It's used as a reward system for the foot soldiers of victorious armies. The (often) tacit understanding throughout HIStory has been that the young men will finally get laid if they follow orders and kill enough of the enemy. Women and girls are considered to be the spoils of war.
It's brutal logic but it's the truth.
Thanks for these insights - could not bring myself to like the comment though.
Can't say I blame you. I don't like my comment either.
Kill them myself. What will you do?
In Europe they would imprison you just for saying that.
Which is why Europe is facing another dark age confounded with 7th Century throwbacks utilizing the technology they didn't invent, but understand how to destroy with it.
Sounds anti "semantic".
Sounds like the old "wake up white man" of the Masonic Ku Klux Klan. The kill shots are already coming for "women and children".
I’ve been watching Nick Fuentes through social media, and despite his stirring of the pot, he is absolutely correct.
Young men feel hopeless and that’s on us.
We boomers don’t mind our house suddenly becoming twice as much as we sell and retire into assisted-living.
But that leaves these kids would no hope of buying a home and starting a family and that should worry us.
I’ve been coming down hard on the side of young people and maybe it’s because we lost our 19-year-old son, and for me every young man is someone I will fight for.
Property taxes are immoral. They mean that we will never own a home and it can be taken from us by the government.
Interest on loans when we borrow our own money that’s been taken from us through taxes, is immoral.
Paying for an education, while giving money to those who don’t wanna work, is immoral.
Our children are furious at us boomers, and I don’t blame them.
I see them comment that the world will be better when we all pass on, that’s how angry they are.
Watch Tucker’s interview with Nikki Haley‘s son, and you’ll get a taste of how hopeless our young men feel.
Like Nick, I am disgusted with the Republican party that can’t even see that there’s a problem.
We give billions and foreign aid, and neglect our children.
Why?
Is it because people are afraid of getting called names?
Is it our cowardice that keeps us from addressing the issues of our children?
We need to wake up, and do it fast, or we will lose the next generation.
As a millennial, I'm trying my best to get the boomers around me to understand how dire the situation is. The America they have left us is not the same America they were handed by their parents. And in every case, they think the lack of opportunity and prosperity comes down purely to some individual failing in the part of the young. It's insane, and so many are angry.
I’m on your side and fighting with you. Let me know what you need to further your cause.
I have been reading this lots, and I am with you. Glenn Beck has also written of this and people nearing retirement like me (but not me) make light of the struggles our kids are facing and it is big as brass balls if you care to look - most don't. Thank you for painting the picture as clear as you did! Maybe more will pay attention.
I don’t think for a single second that our kids are just lazy. While my son was in middle school, I asked him why some of the kids just goofed off and didn’t try.
He told me that it’s because they didn’t see a reason to try because they couldn’t afford college so why try in middle school in high school.
This is a boomer problem and we can fix it by standing up to entrenched power and not letting them divide us by political parties.
The majority of my fellow boomer friends are retired, and playing golf and their handicap is their biggest concern.
Lazy, hmmmm relative to what? Every young disenchanted young person I know or see believes they deserve quite a lot. How many of the previous generations walked right into a house after college or getting married? This is absurd. I know people love their children but please a little reality check here. Middle class people waited 5 to 15 years to be able to purchase a house. Entertainment while waiting for that day was splurging for a coffee or an outing at a park. Interest rate that my brother who built his own house was 21% in the 70’s. Give me a break. The whining continues. Who of other generations does not know someone who worked two to three jobs? How out of touch can people be with reality? Hair extensions,false nails, 1400.00 phones, leased cars not of a vintage age,Starbucks, vacations to Marocco charged to credit cards because they were deserved.
How many hours a day dedicated to looking for work. I can’t tell you how many business owners I’ve spoken with saying they can find no workers. The workers they hire don’t show up on time, have no work ethic or have no respect for the expensive equipment required for the job and the managers feel like their parents picking up after them and calling them to get them to work. There are plumbing and welding companies that are training people for free on weekends. I know you can’t sit with a laptop in Tahiti on the beach doing work for 2 hours a day, however…
Ask me why I think people taking covid jabs like they did was a no brainer. If you can’t think for yourself, you can’t clean your room and you are living in your parents’ garage I fail to see how you are using initiative or using your God given abilities. This may be harsh to some but can you not see the victimhood of this country?…..so ripe for the picking as they say.
We have the ability to do better. We can do better. Quit dividing and fighting among yourselves. Whining never helped anyone. When things are in a million pieces the choices are..learn to put it back together or continue to deconstruct. In essence, the poor kids who can’t buy a house or go to the four year college of their choice from their brand new home in a good area with marble countertops in their leased vehicles….. give….me….a….break..
The parallel to those that do not give a president the ability to work his way through monumental problems is pretty clear. You make massive changes fighting up hill battles in a very very short amount of time and you still can’t find any hope or happiness. You have to at some point ask yourselves, why? You are given much and you can still not find any vestiges of gratitude. Gratitude. Appreciation. These are powerful words for a reason.
Peace, out.
I completely get the NF appeal to this younger generation.
Yep and they are traveling all over the world spending their kids inheritance. I see it all the time. Esp teachers and gov retirees. Lots of money there.
Well, quite frankly, it's not the boomers fault. We didn't set up all the immoral things you mentioned. In fact, most of us hate it more than they do because the gov't has been stealing from us for 30+ years. And no amount of voting will ever change it until we have term limits and eliminate corporate campaign contributions so the career "rep" will go the way of the dodo bird.
But their gripes are real. And that's made me reconsider how to help them by shifting the inheritance money from death to start next 5 yrs and spread across the next 20. They need it now, and I don't think I can spend it all. Unless, of course, the 4th Turning goes ape sh*t and SHTF destroys most everything... not impossible, but can't stop living based on fear of the extreme outlier?
We boomers were fooled by some brilliant manipulators so yes, it’s not our fault then, but we can turn the tide by doing what you’ve mentioned. We are doing the same with our children’s inheritance and we also have a generous scholarship set up in the name of the son we lost at 19.
The money goes to furthering any sort of education the child chooses and it’s based on the child who inspires his fellow students.
I think the biggest issue of our times is interest on loans.
It affects everything like a cancer in our lives and if we could set up a system where our tax dollars could be borrowed for a flat, one time fee to other Americans, then we could make schooling & homes more affordable and not dependent on interest fees.
What do you think?
I believe that more young people could buy homes if they would just practice a little delayed gratification. Looking around at a lot (not all) of young people with acrylic nails., fake eyelashes, fake hair extensions, designer clothes, $7 coffees, leased Beamers, cell phones, every streaming company available. Need I go on?. These indulgences cost a fortune over the course of time. Saving for the future seems impossible because the credit cards they ran up are at 20%. Notice I did not call them children. We should not consider 20 to 30 year olds children. That is part of the problem.
The delayed gratification is an issue. Also an issue is the gap between income and housing costs. I've read recently (probably on C&C!) that, using averages, a home in 1950s cost 2 times annual salary - currently the cost of a home is 7 times annual salary.
I agree with the delayed gratification. It’s real and we delayed it because our world was set up so that we had to delay. I can’t say that I would have saved for what I wanted if I hadn’t been forced to.
Now I can because I’m older and wiser.
While on the surface I agree with you, but I’d also like to add that it is our generation that has set up a society that rewards parasitic behavior ( Johnson setting up welfare), it’s our generation that runs the media that preys on human weaknesses like fitting in and the competition between women using beauty as a weapon.
It’s our generation that insisted our kids go to college so we could brag to our friends about whose kid got into the right school. My generation brags about their kid’s school winning a football game.
We set up the game and we now blame our kids for succumbing to the pressures of the game.
A famous psychologist once said that the number one stumbling block in a child’s life was its parents unfulfilled expectations.
Go to any sporting event to see what I’m taking about. I’ve seen parents scream at a 12 year old umpire calling a strike on their child.
We are the ones who put up with allowing credit card companies to prey on the vulnerability of our children just trying to keep up with the world we’ve given them.
We adults don’t need defending. The generation we have produced does. I’m going to shoulder the blame for this world and always defend a young person first.
Wow. Great points
Even though this group of disaffected young men are being deeply influenced by Nick Fuentes, there’s one thing that Trump has got that Nick hasn’t got…DJT is a grandpa. He needs to emphasize and personify that image in any situation that presents itself. Every young adult that I know and especially young men (unless their grandparent was an abuser or a straight- up weirdo) have deep affection for their grandfathers and that’s what Trump needs to come across as every time.
IMHO
Yesterday I saw a picture of Trump throwing a football to one of his grandsons outside the Rose Garden. The caption- A quick break from the Oval, because he's still a Grandpa.
You don't have to be a disaffected young man to like and respect Nick Fuentes... or Tucker... or Candace... or Ian Carroll... they all make a lot of great points...
In this mega-woke culture... truth is forbidden... and morons believe that "racism" only applies to white men...
He’s a grandpa to extremely rich and entitled kids.
Seriously?🧐. Do you support people judging your roles in life by your heritage or what you have done, good or bad? He was made in the image and likeness of God, just as you were.
I hate to point it out, but MTG is retiring two days AFTER she will be vested with her lifetime pension from congress. Not a good look for someone who has been legitimately claiming to work for the common man.
It's battle pay for all the crap she has had to deal with and I have no problem with it.
She will return stronger.
Hope so.
She hasn't earned it?
She has, battle pay.
NONE of them have "earned it", or it would be available to us as well.
Go run for office.
That doesn't seem so bad to me, actually.
Well, she won't have insider trading to depend on any longer.
Do you have evidence she participated in insider trading? Please provide it.
They all do it.
No, I also have no evidence of widespread voter fraud in 2020 or vaccines causes autism or vaccines are killing thousands.
So maybe you need to provide your definition of evidence.
Ad hominem attacks won't help.
Perhaps you would like a source of studies coming out weekly showing the harm being done to injectees? Simply subscribe to Peter McCullough's substack, with contributors John Leake and Nicolas Hulscher, MPH. Here's a sample of a recent study he reviewed: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jmv.70613
As far as the 2020, the videos of ballot box stuffing, cameras failing in counting rooms, and strange machine errors were not enough? Or did you believe the Soros paid off judges and prosecutors who found no fraud were credible?
Do you consider evidence judacated information, presented information or consensus information?
Foolish comment.
BS. She could have served her term, been persuasive, helped keep the majority, and not run for re-election.
She’s serving herself and her bank account, not the people of her district or the country.
I’m completely against much of what she has done in the past few months, AND how she chose to not fulfill her term, BUT … I do agree she has earned her right to her pension for her work the prior 4.5 years.
But I would have felt better about it had she simply put her head down and continued to defend the American people by finishing out her term first.
I suspect she has her sights on the Presidency, and needs strategic energy for that - which tells me she cares more about that than the people after all, or she would have just finished her term.
Maybe if she received 4.5 years of pension. But a lifetime? Nah. In fact that's what draws such crap to politics.
Tens of millions in this country busy their butts for 40+ years and leave with what they saved.
I cannot believe that I had not heard that Heritage president FINALLY resigned!!
I have heard that Fuentes is funded by bad outside influences such as Soros or Qatar. Who knows? But I have also heard that HE NEVER VOTED FOR NOR SUPPORTED TRUMP.
So IDK why this is considered tearing MAGA apart. He NEVER SEEMED to be part of MAGA.
I think that because of his influence with the highly sought after young male vote he cannot be ignored. I thought the housing video was brilliant. It addressed the issue without aligning with Fuentes. I am like Mr. C. and know nothing of Fuentes directly but I had heard previously that he has spoken favorably of Hitler so is labeled accordingly. But maybe it is time to try to understand how Hitler came to be. He did not arise in a vacuum, he arose during extreme economic conditions. I think it is incredibly arrogant to think it could not happen here and thus marginalize people who express their valid concerns. Even if they do so in terms that give us the ick.
Everyone should take your advice to learn more about real but hidden history, especially WWII history as it has defined the world we have lived in ever since. Never forget Hitler threw out the Rothschilds and the central bank, and we all know what happens to anyone who does that.
Actually I do not think we know. But we don't know one way or the other because we tippy toe around the various issues. FWIW I am a staunch supporter of Israel so am wary of rote demonization of Jews. But anybody, including Jews, should be subject to scrutiny, even harsh scrutiny, without knee jerk opposition. We spent decades teaching kids to "use your words" but now squawk to high heaven when someone says anything we do not like. I had to quit The Free Press because of this.
I agree with you again Lynne, with respect to everyone being fair game for scrutiny. Where my line WRT Israel arises is if / when standards are being applied to Israel that are never applied to ANY other country. So that is the tripwire that I look for.
I have said it before and I will say it again. In my dive down the rabbit hole one the past 17 years, I have found that nothing, repeat nothing, we have been told officially of anything of import has been true. I have never been wrong to date disbelieving every official narrative, then and now. The truth needs no laws to protect it.
I hear you. I am batting 1000% on my "conspiracy theories".
As a self declared staunch supporter of Israel, I give you June 8th, 1967 for your consideration. It will be the first thing that comes up in a search on a real search engine.
I agree.☝️
Kevin Roberts did NOT resign from Heritage.
It was an error; confused with a director who did quit. Fixed now.
You, sir, are correct.
Didn't today's column say that he did resign, or did I misread that???
It’s a narrative. Lots of fake X accounts out there amplifying the maga division story. As of yesterday you can now see the origin of these accounts. Many originate from Pakistan & other non US places, even though they project American. Not saying it’s not real, but it’s not what they want you to think. Fuentes actively campaigned against Trump in 2024. Hard to know the truth about where his money comes from, but I believe he’s bought & paid for. He doesn’t support maga, but I think he rebrands it America first or America only. There are other plans afoot to not let the maga legacy continue once Trump is out. Meaning Vance is a target. Demeaning Vance’s wife calling her the slur that Jeff included in this post, is part of the demonization. Interesting that Tucker, supposedly a friend of Vance’s, didn’t call Fuentes out on that.
EXCELLENT info Dena. Thank you!!
And I don't really use X (have an account but rarely look at X) so how can one see where certain accounts originate from?? T
hat is incredible!
God Bless Elon, I guess. 🫶
Is it just me or does everyone feel like the entire world is walking on a razor's edge, and but for Trump, we would have zero chance at all? 🫤
It’s called the ‘location’ feature on X. It’s new & doesn’t always work according to some reports. I haven’t looked into how to use it. Here’s an example https://x.com/white_amercan/status/1992078121219330460?s=61. A self described American Indian - in Bangladesh.
Thanks Dena. I just went to X and clicked on whatever I could find to click on to find the "Location" feature and it was NO WHERE to be found for me. Drat. 🫤
I asked Grok: To find the country of origin for an X (formerly Twitter) account, use the platform’s built-in “About this account” feature, which displays the country where the account is based. This is determined by X using signals like IP geolocation, app store or payment information, account settings, and device data.
Steps to Access It:
1. Go to the user’s profile on X (via the app or web).
2. Click or tap on the join date (listed under their bio, e.g., “Joined [Month Year]”).
3. This opens the “About this account” page, which shows the country of origin, along with other details like username change history and connections to X.  
Would this work if the account is using something to confuse the browser's country of origin?
Cool. Thanks. I just tried it on my tablet and saw the feature. I’ll have to try it again from my laptop to see if I can find it.
If you see accounts from regions you don’t like, do you block them?
Sure, if you follow them then you can block them. But it’s just good to know that if they’re pretending to be something they’re not, they’re not to be trusted.
Very true. I wonder if the world was always such a mess or if it's just more so now due to social media.
Fuentes was a huge Trump guy in 2016. Huge. He was also on board in 2020 and even had dinner with Trump (and Kanye) at Mar a Lago in 2022. I think Fuentes' disillusionment is more recent and I think he did not cast a vote for anyone in 2024.
Good. Anyone who loudly and consistently keeps America's focus on what the last decades has done to Gen Z and their prospects is appreciated.
Especially our Congress' inaction while the enormous resources of the US are used to actively accelerate the country's downfall (rampant immigration, corporatism, unlawful entitlements to illegals, trillions of dollars sent abroad to support the democratic party efforts around the world, etc.)
He can be forgiven for being a bit salty, imo.
Get some of these wrecking balls into Congress, I say.
That is THE key. We quarrel about this president or that president, or this judge or that judge, but it is the Congress that has been AWOL from its legislative mandate for decades now. They authorized the rule-making of the executive university branch agencies then walked away to day trade apparently. Now those rules making alphabet agencies do not want to recognize the authority of the executive, the POTUS. Rather they are in league with the corporations and unions who enrich the day trading Congressional members. Now sitting members of Congress are actively promoting abolition of civilian control of the militsry by encouraging active duty military to disobey orders of their Commander in Chief. Nothing good can come of this.
Treasonous scum.
I agree. And I do not think this is a new and distinct ploy but rather a continuation of the old one. It has just been taken public.
As several of my kids are trying to forge lives as GenZers, I completely agree.
What would you say in his position when stalwarts like Lindsley Grahams proudly say supporting the Ukraine is the most important issue in America?
Fuentes is 27 now. In 2016, Fuentes, your "huge Trump guy," was a teenager, barely out of high school. He may have a "yuge" following now, relatively speaking, but he's still 20-something, even today. I'll admit, a lot of 20-somethings have had huge impacts on the world; take many of the Founders of the US, or the millions of teen- and 20-somethings whose blood soaked the fields and beaches of France, but given the dismal state of education today, it's become rarer. And the _wisdom_ of 20-somethings is, and I'll wager, never will be, "a thing."
He's not MY "huge Trump guy," that is how he would have described himself. I know he didn't vote in 2016, but when he was in college, he was very outspoken in his support for Trump (he only attended for one year because his support got him ostracized). As Lynne said above, we should try to listen to the people who are identifying with Fuentes and his views. We have a problem and needs to be addressed.
You yourself described him as "a huge Trump guy in 2016. Huge." Your emphasis doesn't make him YOUR "guy," whatever that means. But he wasn't describing himself, and emphasizing it. That was you. I'm just responding to that, but "listen to the people who are identifying with Fuentes?" I have listened to them, and they sound like garden variety anti-semites and white nationalists. Neo-David Dukes. NF is 27, not 57, or 77. He's a punk with a BIG megaphone, and an armload of matches and gasoline.
Don't miss my point; many 20-somethings have impacted history, but not many, especially 20-something Americans, have the wisdom to be listened to. That's why it's considered remarkable that people in their 20s do remarkable things. But the 27 Club is mostly known for dying in the prime of life from unwise choices. Some even had remarkable talent. Aside from his megaphone and rabble-rousing talents, NF is trouble with a capital T. And listening to him and his ilk will get more of the same.
I'm not saying to ignore them. They're a problem, but too many people, especially on the right in this country, are perfectly fine listening to guys like him. They're playing with fire.
Hektor, you're hectoring. I didn't intend to get all caught up in a semantics fight but apparently you're bored today. Have fun. I got your point, I just didn't find it all that earth shattering.
Not bored, and not under the misconception that anyone has ever delivered an "earth shattering" blog comment. You deflecting from your own comments about NF is not hectoring. It's just calling a spade a spade. I engaged with your points fairly; I just have a different perspective on the importance of listening to NF and his followers. You seem to think he's got something to contribute. Certainly, more than I do in your estimation. Even if you don't want to hear it from me, time will tell you. And you can't mute that comment. Happy Thanksgiving.
Jeff edited to say the Heritage president did NOT resign.
Thanks. 👍👍
That's bc he didn't. Board member Prefessor Robbie George and some others redigned but not Roberts, at least as of 15 minutes ago according to Duck AI:
Kevin Roberts has not resigned from the Heritage Foundation. However, he has faced significant backlash over a video defending Tucker Carlson's controversial interview with Nick Fuentes, which included antisemitic remarks. This situation led to the resignation of several individuals connected to the foundation, including prominent figures like Robert P. George, a Christian scholar, and Mark Goldfeder, a Jewish lawyer. They stepped down due to Roberts' handling of the controversy and his reluctance to fully retract statements made in the video.
From TODAY'S C&C (about 1/2 way down) -
"It’s not just optics; the Heritage Foundation’s president (and key Project 2025 architect) was forced to resign last week after refusing to condemn Nick."
I assume a correction will follow from Jeff C. 🤷♀️
He voted Trump in 2016.
Completely false, he has not resigned.
So what's the deal Gail, are you intentionally spreading falsehoods or just trying to wish it into existence?
She got that from today’s substack!
Board member Robert George resigned.
Goes to show you can’t rely on opinion articles for factual news.

THANK YOU Steve! 🫶
Please see Steve Stevens post in answer to your question.
Did you not read today's C&C or are you just a bot?
I’m not sure I’d agree that we’re in an “inexorable postwar reset”…it feels very much “mid-conflict” to me, and personally, I lament the loss of a firebrand like MTG at this stage of the battle.
Many of the bills that MTG pushed for and that Speaker Johnson will never allow to “see the light of day” are precisely what so many of us dearly hoped for.
Sadly, I believe we are far from being out of the woods.
She obviously wasn’t persuasive, but then bomb throwers rarely are.
This^^^.
Coalition building and deal-making are pre-eminent skills needed to work effectively in Congress; a politician creating sound-bites that the base loves will accomplish virtually nothing toward advancing legislation that REALLY effect our lives.
MTG , for a whole raft of reasons, was not an effective legislator. And while her personal stands on issues we care about may resonate with the base, the results were beyond disappointing.
I confess to caring very little to what politician SAY (this includes Trump). I care only for what they DO, what they ACCOMPLISH.
If you can't actually do what you were elected for, let's all move on, yeah?
THIS!!
We're not done until we've proven we can actually change laws to match Trump's E.O.'s All of this will get unwound just like it did before unless we destroy the RINO's and truly have America First conservative rep's that actually represent US.
I'd gladly take her place and start bringing a flame thrower to the podium.
For example...
1. Medical freedom?
2. COVID jabs still being injected, still killing and maming.
3. Nobody arrested for sedition or treason from the COVID bioweapons attack or J6.
4. Nobody in Congress arrested for the massive corruption everywhere.
5. Not one activist judge impeached, shamed, nothing. Start with that S.O.B. Boasberg and Artic Frost.
6. Jack Smith?
I could go on for days. Nothing changes unless sever consequences are meted out. THE AMOUNT OF MONEY MOVED AROUND BY GOV'T IS TOO RIPE AND TOO LARGE TO RESIST SKIMMING AND STEALING. UNLESS.... YOU LOSE ALL YOUR MONEY, ALL YOUR POWER, AND ALL YOUR FREEDOM FOR MUCH OF OR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
Without consequences, it will come back. Same thing happened post-WWII. It's literally the same families. Bushes? H.W.'s grandpa was a Nazi banker sent to the U.S. Schiff? 2-3-4 greats grandpa was a NY banker that funded Trotsky's return to Russia to start the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917.
Punish this crap - severely. Or you're only papering over the tiger. Or something. Inflict PAIN!
agreed.
Right. WW3 is hardly over. It’s hasn’t even really begun.
