Did anyone else watch the glorious return of the stranded Astronauts? I was glued to the SpaceX live stream. So incredible! Yay Elon and Trump.

I don't think MSM even bothered to cover it.

The MSM didn't want to show anything that might give credit to Musk. Biden was willing to leave our astronauts stranded out there indefinitely. In the mind of the Left, Musk working to bring them home is a victory for the Right, and they certainly can't celebrate that. Leave it to the pod of dolphins to celebrate when the astronauts splashed down!

I too watched every minute of it on FOX. I was told that CNN and MSNBC both carried it, but as soon as they could MSNBC switched back to the hourly bash Trump agenda. I was told that NBC didn't cover it; I don't know if ABC or CBS did or not, but my local CBS affiliate did not even mention it on their 6PM newscast. Granted local stations should cover local news, but to completely ignore the number one news story of the day is unconscionable.

Exactly! Apparently, the MSM/fake news media's new narrative is that the astronauts "wanted" to stay up there that long. Plan and execute an eight day mission and then decide, no, I want to stay up for ten more months. Yeah, right. No one is buying it. It just shows their TDS/MDS.

Matches their m.o. about not caring at all about the pain of others so long as it advances the reason for their hate. They would be so happy if anyone of the spaceship died. That’s the truth. They are willing to kill to be able to say ā€œsee we told you!ā€ The swattings alone are an attempt to get someone killed - either the Trump helpers they hate or a SWAT team member, which I think they secretly hope for so they can point to evil dangerous MAGA. They showed us who they really were when they couldn’t pay respects to those who have suffered during Trump’s address to the nation. Well they showed us before that but it was the first public display of that truth. They won’t cover the terrorism against Tesla either, so no way will they give glory to yesterday’s SpaceX successes by Musk.

No-one would believe these fantastical religious stories if they hadn't been born into a world full of people who already believed the same thing.

Hebrew 4:12

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. 13And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Matthew 24:37-39

For as were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.

Well, if you referenced Biblical scriptures – it must be true. LMAFO. It still amazes me that Christians think the Bible is evidence. The Bible is the CLAIM, not the evidence. Why is it so hard for people to understand that "My book is true because my book says it is true" is not a valid form of reasoning?

And why do Christians expect a book written by unknown authors in a variety of languages, that was translated, rewritten, edited countless times ~ is evidence for anything? It's just a book.

Every statement of "Jesus said" needs to start with "my old book says that Jesus said."

Well. I don’t know how this jumped to being a ā€œraceā€ thing or that certain people need to be subjugated by other people. That was definitely not my suggestion or perspective.

I don’t believe races exist - I believe God created every human in his image, in varying shades of brown, so I reject your premise of ā€œwhiteā€ and ā€œblackā€ humans. ā€œRacesā€ were promoted by Darwin and others to justify sinful treatment of humans made in the image of God, by claiming some ā€œracesā€ were less evolved and therefore, less human and less deserving of the inherent rights and respects due them as humans.

In addition, I don’t think any group of people should be ā€œruled and disciplinedā€ by another group of people based on their shade of melanin. That’s just silliness. At what shade does the ā€œruling and discipliningā€ become a ā€œnecessityā€? Is there a color chart? Should hair color or eye color, or height affect who gets ruled? Who decides? Who gets to rule?

Third, the hearts of all humans are desperately wicked and any cultures anywhere, of any skin tone, that embrace and have embraced the worship of Satan for hundreds of years tend to get very dark and chaotic. ā€œThe people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath a light shined.ā€ Isaiah 9:2 (prophesying the birth of a messiah hundreds of years before Jesus was born). An apt definition of people without God is that they ā€œwalk in darknessā€.

Only Jesus Christ and the Word of God - and changed lives in those who have trusted in him for salvation - bring light and order to hearts and cultures, no matter who or where.

ā€œFor ye are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.ā€

Just A Moment Of Kindness

By Joseph J. Mazzella • March 4, 2025

I have no idea why some stores make shelves so high that only a professional basketball player can reach them, but they do. I experienced one of them just the other day. I had just picked up some supplies and was heading to the dog food aisle when I took a short cut through the toy section. That is when I saw them.

A little girl was pointing to the top shelf where the stuffed animal she wanted was. Her Mother was trying to convince her to take one of the similar ones on the lower shelves but the little angel’s heart was set on the one at the top. Mom was only five foot tall at the most and was about to explain that she just couldn’t reach it. That is when I asked if I could try.

reaching the top shelf joy love

Now my vertical leap was never much when I was younger and it has only gotten worse with age, but I jumped up as high as I could, hooked the toy with my finger and caught it on the way down. I handed it to the little girl who cheered and jumped up and down with joy. Her Mom smiled and thanked me and I gave her my warmest your welcome.

I noticed something too as I started to walk away. I felt lighter. I felt better. I felt more like my true self. There was a smile on my face and a warmth in my heart. It was just a moment of kindness. It was just a second of love. Yet, it made my day and nourished my soul. For that moment I was who God wanted me to be.

I think the only way to truly receive love in this life is to give it away. The more love you share, the more love you have. The more love you give, the more love you receive. Love can be given too in a thousand different ways, in the littlest acts of kindness, even in rescuing a stuffed animal from the top shelf and putting it in the loving arms of a little girl.

Try it with a Trump hat on and see if your experience is any different. 🤣🤣 I have a suspicion your perfect record will come to a screeching halt.

I too usually have very good experiences to my kindnesses given, except for any time the receiver was someone who already hated me for one reason or another. Such as 30 years ago in my first job when I was a threat to other coworkers’ ambitions my kindness didn’t matter. Or when queen-bees in a pecking order of neighborhood mothers were threatened by my kind heart having the potential to relegate their social power. That kind of catty viciousness paints kindness as a tactical maneuver that must be outplayed. šŸ™„ šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø When someone sees you as something they should hate or fear it interferes with the experience.

Unfortunately, the Republic exists in name only and in the imaginations of historically ill-informed citizens. The Republic was killed by the 1861 to 1865 war with the Lincoln regime. At that point, the USG became an imperial government. The illusion of a republic was maintained by the "elections" of Presidents, all of which have been pre-selected for the election by the establishment. In 1913 under President Wilson's regime, the Federal Reserve Act, the 16th Amendment (income tax) and the 17th Amendment (direct election of senators) placed the shackles upon the American citizen reducing him from a freeman citizen to an imperial vassal of the state. (Check definition of vassal.)

As much as I would long to believe otherwise (I am 74 years old), the Republic that we idolize is gone. And it's not coming back. Power was seized by a Marxist/Dem coup which nearly turned the country into an open and abusive dictatorship. The Trump Regime revolution is a successfully engineered rebuff of that coup. As citizens, we are benefactors by way of circumstance. The empire will now progress upon a more sure footing - as long as it can fiscally survive.

All of this makes me very happy. Like the former Soviet citizens under Putin, I would much rather live as a citizen under an authoritarian regime like Trump's than under a dictatorship like the Biden legacy would give us that actually is hostile to our lives. Someday when this empire reaches it's fiscal limits and collapses, maybe a new republic will be built. Who knows?

I don't think it is by accident that Pres. Trump recognizes how dramatically the fortunes of the Republic turned in 1913. He seems to be looking and probing in the right directions. Tariffs like what existed pre-1913 under William McKinley, openly speaking and working to try and eliminate the income tax (although we must have a constitutional amendment to ensure it dies), and the search for another backing for the "dollar" (gold that is missing from Fort Knox, Bitcoin, some other form of commodity/metals, etc.) to replace the non-Congressional dollar bill (the Federal Reserve Note). If the Congress can pass meaningful election integrity reforms as they are authorized to do under Article I, Section 4. Clause 1, I would take that as a first step towards returning the senators to accountability to the state and state legislatures.

Re: Tariffs. The "experts" get it wrong because their models are always static, not dynamic. Dynamic modeling is hard, takes real brains. Dynamic modeling accounts for what happens to currency exchange rates when tariff wars open up. And the stronger currency always wins. Any increased prices for imported commerce is offset by greater purchasing power for the USD. Canadians lose bigly, though! Keep booing the Star Spangled Banner!

Having spent a fair amount of time in Ontario on business, I've come to the conclusion Canadians are just an odd lot. They are exceedingly "nice" (polite, friendly, etc.) to just about everyone which is really admirable. But many of them have this strange inferiority complex regarding everything US-related. Instead of just being content in their own small-country identity, they are constantly judging themselves against the US. This causes a weird self-loathing on one hand where they perceive Canada as weak, coupled with an overriding arrogance on the other hand where they think Canada is superior to the US.

In the meantime, no one in the US gives two hoots about Canada. If they do think about Canada it's that they make good hockey players (though no Canadian team has won a Stanley Cup in 30+ years) and maple syrup. But many Canadians are obsessed with the US. It causes a closed-minded "us against them" mentality which leads to bizarre attention-seeking behavior.

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

The European leaders hate Trump and will not heed him. In that case, we can all understand what China's position will be.

I do believe Trump and RFK are anti-war. IF true, this must extend to Netanyahu's war to re-create the Israeli Empire. Also, this is causing deep divisions in the Israeli public where many see his war as an existential threat to their own existence. I don't know what Trump is actually thinking.

Tariffs are a tax on the consumer of the tariff-issuing country (or president). The money is collected and goes into the coffers of the government of the issuing country.

Who is affected?

1. The government gets the cash and power associated with it. The bureaucracy also grows.

2. The producers and exporters from the country paying the tariff, must now consider a source for the money. They either take a loss or raise the prices... the goal of any business is to make a profit, therefore, a strategy will have to made to continue to be successful. Easy path raise the price.

3. Producers of the competing product or service in the issuing country, can now compete without having to compensate to compete for the market. In most cases in the US, the companies and corporations who have a problem competing because of price are in that situation because their costs to furnish the product or service are too high to be able to price competitively and still make a profit. Normally, the biggest factor is labor, at any part or all of the production processes. Unfortunately, unions have been the main reason for labor costs being higher in the US. If there was no international competition, the unions are perfectly justified because there is no competition in the closed market other than other companies. But when the international marketplace makes it possible to import products at a substantially lower price and make a higher profit and the customers are happy, who is at fault. The local producers and exporters become a hidden special interest.

4. The consumers are the ones who end up footing the bill for the tariffs. The consumers are paying a tax to benefit the companies who can now compete without making sacrifices. The consumers are the only losers. The government and local isolated industries are the beneficiaries.

5. Please note, the economy will be disrupted in the short run, but priorities and the laws of economics will naturally cause an eventual shift back to an equilibrium. It will always be in flux because of large amounts of factors, but will always naturally go back towards a balance.

I heard a harrowing story years ago on a non-commercial radio station. The government at one point was injecting citizens unknowingly with radioactive material so that they could see the cancer that it produced. A black railway worker in New York had an accident on the job where he broke his leg badly, and when he was in the hospital, they injected him with these Materials, and he ended up losing his leg from bone cancer. He told his family that he felt that he had been messed with in the hospital. His family did not believe him and thought he was crazy. His family kept being brought to Rochester, New York to observe his ā€œ treatmentsā€. They were made to feel like they were VIPs. But his daughter gave up on him and thought that he was paranoid and crazy. Years later, she saw an article in I believe the San Jose Mercury newspaper, about these experiments on citizens which mentioned a railway worker. She immediately recognized that they were talking about her father, even though his name was not mentioned in the newspaper. She contacted the reporter and found out that it was, indeed, her father, who was victimized. Sadly, he had already passed away, so she could not apologize for not believing him. Truly appalling behavior on the part of our government. Is it any surprise that our government did not give a damn about how many of us were killed or injured by the experimental genetic injections?

It was Allen Dulles who was the head of the newly formed CIA, up until 1961. JFK fired him after the Bay of Pigs and threatened to destroy the CIA into a million pieces and scatter it to the winds.

Instead Dulles ran the operation to blow off Kennedy's head in the middle of town square in the middle of the day.

Then they appointed him to run the cover-up, the so-called Warren Commission, (just as Philip Zelikow ran the 9-11 Commission).

They named an airport after Dulles in Washington, DC.

Twill be interesting to see if Dr. Mary’s Monkey info plays out. The historian on it, Ed Haslam, just plays it down the middle. Not trying to sell the theory too hard. We visited New Orleans in 2021 and hoped Tours by Locals had a Mary’s Monkey tour. No one did so we did our own, peaking around Mary’s apartment and the Hospital. My main curiosity was the hospital building where the linear particle accelerator was housed that supposedly burned off Mary’s arm and probably killed her. The building is now outfitted as a two story office. I just don’t see how a three story tall (anyway, the LPA was tall) could have fit in there.

And I couldn’t verify anything locally about the top floor of the coffee import building blowing up.

Judyth Baker doesn't have any proof of what she is saying AT ALL. A lot of people think she made up almost all of it, because a lot of people want the attention.

At least some of the stuff she said proved to be lies, like how she and Oswald were going to run off to Cancun, which didn't exist yet, as it was a planned resort community.

Also, how likely is it that the CIA would recruit someone right out of high school to work on cancer research? She had won a high school science prize, big woop.

I'm not taking the CIA's official position, far from it. I think Oswald was probably a low level intelligence asset who was set up and was totally innocent. I just don't believe Ms. Baker.

Ed, read my lips!

You are just trotting out stories that your Church Pastor told you. Everybody knows these for goodness's sake. You think I have not heard these 100's of times? Give me a frickin break!

"Christ came to save us from our sins and deliver us from hell and eternal condemnation" is just a story. A good story, but it is no more than an unverifiable claim. A myth.

'Sin' is a religious Biblical term. Meaning going against an imaginary 'Gods' will. Meaningless in the context of non-believers.

'Hell' and 'eternal condemnation' are just inventions of religious cultists who wrote the Bible. And we do not even know who these guys were! 'Hell' has never been proven to exist. To claim it does is intellectually dishonest.

And of course, all these imaginary concepts depend on the existence of a 'God'. Which has never been proven by the very best brains in the World for 1,800-years. If you can prove your 'God' exists, write your paper, have it peer reviewed and published and go collect your Nobel Prize. You will have done something nobody has ever been able to do and become very rich and famous beyond your wildest dreams.

You can read the Bible or defend the Bible. You can't do both! It's full of nonsense, untruths and contradictions. And lots of claims with zero evidence. It's always ironical to hear the hundredth different interpretation of the Bible with the complete certainty to say that everyone else got it wrong.

Faith is the art of lying to yourself

Netanyahu invoked the Biblical reference with the Amalek rhetoric for a blatant call to genocide.

"Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and donkey." 1 Samuel 15:3.

Now 100,000 + innocents have been slaughtered. And their houses, electricity, drinking water, sewage facilities and hospitals destroyed.

Because they had the audacity to pray to a different GOD!

And NOT ONE GOD has lifted a finger to stop the genocide.

And probably got himself crucified. Given the cruelty of the times.

Having a relation with God is phycological nonsense.

The only power any God has is the power humans give them.

I’m delusional and talk to an imaginary friend in the sky. You guys are too naive and don’t make enough efforts to become delusional like me. If you don't agree with my God delusion, then you're naive!

"Oh, but there's evidence for Gods existence! There are so many things!"

ā€œThere's...... uhh......eeermm ... I saw God’s face and I talk to him!ā€

Every frickin time!

Personal experience is not a valid reason to believe anything. If it were, we would have no way of determining whose experience reflects reality. Believers cannot rationally reason that personal experiences are the pathway to truth. Because they don’t accept other people’s experiences as proof of their claims. There are no ways of determining what is actually the truth of a personal experience.

We might feel the need for a loving God but that’s a very, very long way from there being one. That "voice" in your head is not God. It is you pretending to be God. It is your "Ideal" self. Freud called it your "super-ego". In short, we all create "God" in our own image...

.

Likewise, 'God and His commands" is nonsense.

God never uttered a single word.

"God wrote a number of books. The number is zero."- Christopher Hitchens.

.

For God so loved the world that He gave His begotten son to died to us and save us.. and if you don't love him back he will torture you for all eternity. What kind of 'God' is that?

.

Christians claim that EVERYTHING happens according to God's PLAN,

But when something tragic happens, the Christian says God gives us FREE WILL.

The age-old trick of constantly moving the goalposts.

Or the oldest cop-out: God moves in mysterious ways his wonders to perform.

Impeachment: So, there have been twice as many judicial impeachments as presidential impeachments? Interesting, but what is the ratio of judges to presidents? We have had 46 presidents and 4 impeachments (President Trump got 2). That's 4.35%. Grok gives a conservative estimate of 3500 judges being appointed. That makes it a conservative 0.23% of unelected appointed judges have been impeached.

Now, I must enter into the precarious position of disagreeing with my favorite news provider (C&C). A Congressional vote for president counts the same as my own. But a Congressional vote for a Judge holds far, far more weight (mine being 0). And this for a lifetime appointment! So on this subject, I must disagree. The judicial system has proven that it cannot police its own.

It is far more appropriate that Congress impeach judges regularly. Every J6 judge should face immediate impeachment. I would add to that a metric that examines overturned rulings with a trigger after reaching a specified threshold.

As for the political ramifications... Sure, the Senate would vote against it but they would be on record for supporting judges like this and it could be used as interesting fodder for their next campaign. Seriously, make them defend their absurd positions.

Republicans should definitely go ahead with impeachment of judges. Each impeachment should be tied to a specific and legal Trump action that is being blocked by a hack partisan judge. Doing this will have multiple benefits:

1. It will get the Circuit to act quicker in over-turning bad judge actions. No reason these things have to take so long. The American people are tired of the pace of things in the judiciary when things are clear cut. "It's always been done this way" is not a legitimate response at this point.

2. It will be a nice extra cold splash of water on Roberts (and Amy's) face that there WILL be accountability. So Roberts can work to get the message on down to the Circuit and lower levels to shape up because the Supremes will be moving faster, or risk becoming irrelevant.

3. Mid-terms: Trump and team will be able to clearly show how they moved on issues as they promised, but bad judges blocked them for partisan reasons. They can make judicial impeachment one of the national goals of the 2026 mid-terms. "Vote for us and give us more Republican Senators so we can drain the judicial swamp." Example "We have identified $2 trillion in savings to the American people, but judges are blocking us from instituting that. That is over $13,000 in savings per household being blocked." We won't get to 66 seats after Nov 2026, but it makes it a lot easier for this to become an issue in 2028, because it could be realizable in that election. Get the ball across the goal-line.

The journey has to start now on draining the Judicial Swamp.

But the LORD abides forever;

He has established His throne for judgment,

And He will judge the world in righteousness;

He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.

The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed,

A stronghold in times of trouble;

And those who know Your name will put their trust in You,

For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.

If your God is all loving, why are there so many kids on this earth that are starving to death, Susan?

Telling your young children…. ā€œHe’s your God. You shall love him. If you don’t, he will torture you foreverā€. Demanding kids love somebody they fear. The very essence of sadomasochism. How many kids has that screwed up for life?

Most Christians have devoted most of their life to the religion and are very susceptible to the sunk cost fallacy. They hold on to this belief for so long that even if they see the flaws in it, they feel that they just wasted part of their life, so they hold onto it to feel better.

Created sick, commandeered to be well.

The Christian believe that GOD made them imperfect and punishes them if they don’t get well.

That sentence shows you everything that is sick about Christian beliefs

God saved me because he has a special plan for me….. I'm so special.

No you're fucking not; you are just a human the same as everyone else.

The arrogance of religion rears its ugly head.

"What's the difference between a cult and a religion?

In a cult, there's someone at the top who preaches bullshit.

In a religion, that person has died long time ago."

If religion was kept in their churches and their heads, and that they didn't think they are superior to others, I'd be generally OK with that.

God is not love! That came out of the Hippie movement. God is the Creator of the universe and He is the Judge of history. That is to say He is man's judge. He loves those whom He calls to Himself. The rest are subject unto damnation. Your take on things religious is shallow.

The Bible only makes claims. The Bible is not evidence, just stories of goat herders!

The fictional God of the Bible reminds me of my abusive and violent father who wanted everything his way or else!

"You only have two choices: Obey God or burn in hell forever!?"

There are other options, such as don't obey and don't burn in hell cuz it doesn't exist.

Save it for church you Bible Thumpers - nobody wants your mindless spam here :)

Well, at least we know why you’re so angry. But you do have a choice. You can continue the pattern of anger and destruction and be just like your father or you can lay it all down and be at peace with God. May He extend mercy to you so that you choose a different path.

Why did Supreme Court Justice Roberts have a comment about the appellate process (as an apparent rebuke to Trump), that was only given to left wing news sources and not posted on the Supreme Court website? Why don’t we have access to the entire letter/comment and we are only beholden to left wing news sources to give us the sound bites from the letter they want us to see? Sean Davis on X did a great job breaking down this issue (I hadn’t even thought of that!)

Roberts is protecting his friend Boasberg. Roberts is compromised, and is doing what he's told. He needs to be impeached, along with these judges.

So called judge Boasberg aka American Gothic man is a sack of sh**. He obviously promotes violence and Hamas via his left sided lunatic fringe stance and hatred of Trump. I pray he and others like him are impeached. Just today, another asinine judge is promoting men in women's sports and blocking Trump. These aholes need to be shut down. judge Roberts is pathetic and sympathizes with fanatic libs. He is lower than a dung beetle. These foul judges support and promote the filth in the world along with everything else that is immoral and abnormal. They are sickening. May Karma visit each and every one and wreak havoc with them. That will be a great day.

I grew up in Milton, within the "Greater Tacoma" area ... Always looked forward to the Daffodil Festival parades--the main reason why I avoided being in my high school band. They matched in FOUR parades in one day, if I recall correctly. The logistics of that must have been a nightmare!

ZELENSKYY: ā€œThe Russians so far are not showing that they're ready to finish the war … The red line for us is if the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories will be considered Russian, we would not agree to that.ā€

He’s doing it again. He thinks he has cards. And proving he never wanted peace.

By "temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories", is Capt Cocaine referring to the ethnic Russian regions of the Donbas who declared independence from Ukraine after the Maidan coup in 2014 and years of abuse, dehumanization and cluster bombs that killed thousands of civilians including children, and which overwhelmingly voted to become part of Russia last year? Those territories?

Yes. He wants the regions that already democratically voted to remain a part of Russia to be taken from Russia. That’s the true goal of the EU. Zinkyy is just their puppet.

Every time peace moves a few inches forward, Zelenskyy opens his mouth and moves peace back several inches. We can thank our own government for creating the tyrannical monster. I think he's desperate and it's why he changes his tune every 5 minutes. If Ukraine has peace, elections will be restored, and I will bet he'll easily lose that election. He's made a lot of enemies so as long as he's in power, he's somewhat safe and he's bat-shit crazy enough to take us all down with him in a ball of nuclear flames. I believe it's his constant back & forth rhetoric that has created Putin's cautious hesitancy. He's heard it all before and it's meant nothing.

I read on Farcebook yesterday about AOC and Jasmine Crockett being the front runners of the new face of the Democrat party. I encouraged their running, calling AOC an articulate person who never says anything of substance and Crockett, with her ghetto-speak, thinking Congress is an inner city nightclub. Should make an interesting show.

'Nibbling' is the edit correction.

I usually do not trade in constitutional niceties when a guy is coming after me with a machete. I instead look for the deadliest thing I can get my hands on. And that's where we are with The Invaders and the Facilitators of Death.

'Existential Threat' by description is too wordy, to benign. It's life or death ... of us and of our larger house, the nation.
