Jury deliberates historic Trump verdict; Biden playing footsie with global thermonuclear war and Putin quietly responds; historic mega-sunspot is back; best example of how to to attend court; more.
Jeff Childers wrote, "Honestly, I am no Putin fan, but..."
I wish people didn't feel compelled to say this before saying anything complimentary about Putin but I understand how the game is played. As much as it's heresy to say, I am becoming a Putin fan but then I'm grading on a curve compared to Clown World's leaders.
Putin is thoughtful, historically knowledgeable, and articulate. He's a Russian patriot who actually wants to improve conditions for Russia's citizens. He claims to be a Christian (which I question) but it's clear he has respect for Russia's historical Christianity and has furthered its influence in Russia. He was relentless is wrestling the country away from the oligarchs who systematically looted and plundered Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. He has dramatically improved the standard of living for the typical Russian.
Yes he's no Thomas Jefferson. But compare what Putin has done for the people of Russia versus the West's leaders for the past thirty years. Talk about "democracy" is all well and good, but the bottom line is the results. Are a country's citizens better off or worse off during a leader's tenure? It's indisputable that Russians are better off, and the West's citizens are worse off.
Yet we are constantly told that this guy who actually loves his country (as opposed to the West's leaders who despise their country) is the new Hitler. It's all so transparent and stupid.
Well said Jeff C. I have more respect for Putin than I do for clinton, obama, and biden put together. Does that mean I like him, don't know him. But he has shown more intelligence and dignity, than the above mentioned bozos. Who I do believe want to destroy America.
Clinton said a long time ago that we (meaning he) thought that a strong America was bad and that he wanted to weaken the country. I think he succeeded but heās a neophyte compared to the current anti-president.
The question no one asks (in polite company at least) is why do they all hate Putin so much? It seems pretty obvious to me when you look at what the propagandists share in common. Two obvious ones are 1) unilateral support of Israel and 2) support of the homosexual/depopulation agenda. Number one is shared by virtually every Putin critic (as it is for all neocons), number two is shared by most of them. So why is that? Weird.
They hate Putin because Putin stand in 'their' way of tearing down Russian and Christian morality. 'They' rather embrace the Luciferian Code of 'do what thou will' ... and skip along happily murdering, lying and looting.
By the way, Jeffery Sachs in the Tucker interview says that 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died in the US/Russia/Ukraine War. This does not even begin to address the looting of the Ukraine by 'Western Interests'.
I think the number is higher. I am always suspicious when the number hits a certain threshold and then remains static. For more than a year, they've said 500 - 600K dead in Ukraine. What, no more deaths since? And now they are conscripting men in their 50s and 60s; men with Downs syndrome and diabetes. And of course now we see the gross propaganda pieces with the young women (with perfect hair, makeup and acrylic nails!) marching into battle in the camouflage unifoms.
Same with the 35K dead in Palestine, another static number for the last 4-5 months. But the Israeli government continues its assault on the civilian populations there. How many missing and unaccounted for? Assume they are all dead.
Reasonable Horses calls it a Clown Show Slaughter, and of course ... he is right. And the Cretin Clowns call the money and slaughter a 'good investment'! And the Congressional Clowns wave Ukrainian flags and in a stupor monotonously cry out, Glory to the Ukraine!
Sorry to reply to multiple of your comments in one day, but I tend to agree with what you write.
Anyway, the way I see it in broad terms is: Marxism and all its variants - socialism, communism, fascism - are European creations. The neocons are the intellectual offspring of communism (Trotsky's version, specifically). And the gay/trans agenda and depop agenda are also developments of Marxist ideologies (oppressor/oppressed & population micro-mgmt), and European in origin.
Israel is a British concern and a key cog in their divide-and-conquer strategy. Russia has long been a target/obsession of the British. They want to conquer, divide up, and colonize Russia to take its land and resources (that probably sounds familiar to Africans). Of course, England is the big boss of Europe.
So, it seems to me the neocons (neoliberals are mostly the same TBH) actually work for Europe. It's who they report to. This is why they are all aligned on all these issues: Marxist religious ideology and loyalty to Europe above America. They believe Marxism is morally superior to capitalism. They believe all the forms of perversion are morally superior to traditional values. They believe Europe is better than the US. Not just different, but better, more "evolved." Talk to most everyone leading a F500 co. and you will find they share these beliefs.
This is why they hate Putin so much. He does not share these Marxist beliefs. In fact, Putinism is what is replacing their beloved communism in Russia. It's succeeding where communism failed.
And it's why in reality we in the US have had taxation w/o representation for decades now. Our leaders are actually working for a foreign entity. It's also why our generals dress up in high heels and pose as furries online. Europeanism and Marxism.
It's all going to come crashing down b/c Marxism in all its forms is diametrically opposed to flourishing at any level of society, individual through to the whole. It's a Ponzi scheme system that always fails, after causing massive damage.
While I agree with you on some points (Marxism and communism serving as a framework for some of the beliefs of the neocons and co) I would disagree with this assertion:
āOf course, England is the big boss of Europe.ā
I would argue this is not true, there has always been strong opposition to Britain from other European countries on many levels (and vice versa), and Brexit wouldnāt have happened if Britain really was the leader of Europe. Theyāve actually been the outlier on a lot of policies.
I also think the structures and language of Marxism etc are just another facade of ideology when ultimately it doesnāt matter what itās called. These people simply want control, and it doesnāt actually matter to them how they get it or what ideology allows them to get there. Marxism and communism are the ideological version of useful idiots.
Hard to discuss these things in a comments section, but I don't disagree with anything you've written. I probably didn't express my thoughts well.
My point was England is the biggest financial center, hence the major player (since everything comes back to finance), and the latest empire. It seems to me the EU has been kind of rudderless since Brexit. And I think a lot of moves that have been made since were made to undo it. I think the Brexit and Trump situations have terrified the broader EU and its supporters. Despite Brexit, England still has a lot of influence within Europe. Not that they don't compete for power.
And, I totally agree, Marxism is a cover for the lust for power. Always was IMO, including Marx himself, who it seems was just a grifter who wanted power for himself that he didn't have. It's a system of central control, compared to capitalism, which is a system of dispersed control. Basically economic totalitarianism vs. economic democracy. Those longing for power will always be attracted to the systems that promise centralized control, even if they are not "true believers" themselves.
I was just trying to explain 'why' some things that seem to be disparate cluster together. The neocons are in love with leftist central planning ideologies - including the downstream "neo" ideas - that yield centralized control. And a really good way to implement a divide-and-conquer strategy. And I have come to agree with the folks who say England is more central to neoconservatism than we often give credit for.
Their core "trick" has been convincing large swaths of the low information public - including most corporate execs at this point - that things like socialism and central planning are morally superior and better, when they're really not. We're moral creatures. To me that's the way out of this - to show the immorality of Marxism and all its follow-on neo-isms. Break the spell.
Personally, I think "they" hate Putin because "they" need an enemy against which they can rally Americans. They need someone to blame for all the bad things that happen in the world and they need someone to blame for their failures at home. Plus, they need a reason to continue funding the military-industrial complex which in turn funds all the congressional slush funds on both sides of the aisle.
I believe they hate Putin because the baby boomers were brought up with the idea that Russia is the nuclear threat that would wipe us off the map. The same tactics were used to make many hate Trump. Lie and slander and twist facts. However, Putin is playing both sides. His oligarchs were getting billions for uranium deals mined on American soil and funneled back to Russia. That would be the Clinton foundation. I highly doubt he had no knowledge of this deal.
Stop throwing all Baby Boomers into the same basket. Baby Boomers are as diverse as other age brackets. You can see that here on C&C as many are of that age. People are made up of individuals and should be looked at as such; not putting everyone in a box and making a declaration of how they think or feel.
I stated my opinion. I am allowed to do such. I also have no way of knowing who is a baby boomer unless they specifically state as such or their age. Since the baby boomer generation is listed as those born 1946-1964, it covers almost 20 years. I am at the older end while my youngest brother is at the youngest end. Our opinions are vastly different. But among my age group when the Cold War was heating up, nuclear war was always threat. Still, it is my opinion and I stand by it.
Case in point: my in-laws and my parents are the same age, but one set thinks Putin is literally Hitler (why? because āPutin badā) and the other set has a much more nuanced view weāve seen throughout C&C posts and comments. Also, one set is welcoming to the many C&C posts I have sent their way and the other set still thinks Fox News is a conservative news source. So. š¤·āāļø
I think it goes back to the old Great Game of Europe from petty warlord thuggery from a Hapsburg with one castle above a choke point on the Rhine River in Switzerland close to an old Roman Empire army fort on that river to literal multi-nation empire building efforts through intermarriages to conquests and alliances ever since the Roman Empire fell, the Holy Roman Empire of Catholics arose, and its ongoing schism with the Eastern Orthodox church now rising again in Russia.
Euro-American leaders look today at globes and like children freak out at the geographic size of Russia (and China, too) always forgetting most of those 2 countries' land is not highly arable. Loess lands in China are badlands, lots of big deserts in China, while most of Siberia is not farmable. Both countries historically are often on the brink of mass starvation. Hence, the reason Russia must have Ukraine as an ally or at least a neutral or friendly nation given it is the breadbasket of Europe as well as hosting ice-free Navy and trade ports. And, ditto why China deeply fears to its core having its trade routes on land or sea controlled by any nations who want it kept weak as NATO's founding principals expressly declare for Russia.
I never forget NATO, EU and ICC headquarters are in Belgium and the Netherlands, "neutral" nations created out of thin air from the remnants of other nations after the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Netherlands happy until its last elections to seize farm lands for global climate fear-porn. Belgium's borders enclosing Flemish and French speakers were drawn *for* the convenience of that war's top victors: the UK and some small German nations who treated Russia then as a hopelessly backward nation. So similar to WW1 victors carving up the Mideast for their own convenience drawing lines through every strong ethic group to weaken them.
Guess where the Belgian and Dutch gold reserves ended up after WW1 and WW2? Note what rivers meet the sea at The Hague and Amsterdam. Coincidence? at the end of the Napoleonic Wars the VOC, the world's oldest corporation, was magically dissolved and its assets ended up in the Dutch royal family's bank accounts.
The Belgian royal family was in fact created and installed by then UK powerhouse which selected the widower of its dead Crown Princess Charlotte to be Belgium's first king: King Leopold 1. He was also the blood uncle of Queen Victoria's husband Albert, both men from the poor and small German Saxe Coburg Gotha duchy. Leo 1 quickly spawned King Leopold 2, the slaver of the Congo as depicted in Conrad's "Heart of Darkness. Leo 1 also spawned Empress Carlotta of Mexico who was married off to Maximillian, a brother of the then Austro-Hungarian Emperor and WW1 leader Kaiser Franz Joseph. Max & Carlotta were installed as rulers of Mexico during the US Civil War strongly supported by Belgium, UK, France and Franz Joseph.
Those kinds of titular "leaders" and their enablers/profiteers are ruthless and don't care one whit for any "populace" on the planet. They feel entitled to rule always over other humans and literally use them, too, as "dumb peasants" or actual slaves. They have insatiable desires for ever more power. Psychopaths one and all. Exactly like narco-terrorist mafias using thuggery to intimidate, manipulate, and defeat any opponents.
Great historical perspective and excellent points!! I do think a lot of this is an effort by those people historically in power through their dynasties of āaristocracyā to wrest back full control.
They never give up until they loose a big war or get executed while their "bankers" merrily roll on funding their Great Game Exploits. UK tried to get back the USA as a colony in the 1812 War. Then again by it with help from France, Belgium and the Austro-Hungarian Empire sending Max & Carlotta to Mexico during our Civil War to try to grab back big chunks of Old Mexico won by the USA in the Mex-American War. Max, a brother of Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph (who was a key sleepwalker into WW1) and Carlotta, a daughter of Belgian King Leopold 1 and a niece of Queen Victoria's husband.... a Big Game in the 1860s for Euro ruling families and their bankers to try "officially" to control all Mexican customs/import taxes but really just a cash and land grab attemot. Abraham Lincoln financially supported Benito Juarez who fought and beat the Euro-royals.
This Sunday Mexico elects a new president for a 6 year term. To date this election cycle 36 mayorial and other candidates have been assassinated, the kind of mess royals and their ilk constantly use as an excuse to be "benevolent" tyrants. The 3 lead presidential candidates have had 3 debates since April this year. I wishing Mexico well on Sunday.
They should transfer that hate to Xi who is systematically planning the destruction of the West, primarily US. All the Chinese military-age men crossing our border every day did so with Chinese permission and also our dementia ridden puppet president.
Hating all things Russian is part of our US DNA. We have to hate Putin. Just like we have to trust our overlords. We can not fathom agreeing with Putin any more than we can imagine our government destroying this country.
Your comments are always intelligent RL, so I think you are messing with me here. There is a 99.9% overlap of those pushing Ukraine who are also Israel-first neocons. I can't think of a singe Ukraine hawk who doesn't also want to throw billions at Israel.
Go down the line on the GOP side; Johnson, McConnell, Rubio, Cotton, Graham, Haley, etc. It's the same on the Dem side with Schumer and his ilk. Plus the entire foreign policy and pundit crowd: Blinken, Nuland, Kristol, Podhoretz, Shapiro, and all of the others. If they are pushing Ukraine they are also pushing Israel. There are a few that support Israel but have not said much about Ukraine, but none the other way around that I can think of.
So why is that? Do war-mongers just tend to love mayhem no matter where it's happening? Perhaps. A more likely explanation is that Israel sees a Russian defeat as in its interests due to Russia's historical animosity towards Israel and Jews in general. Clearly everything coming out of Ukraine has been a lie for two solid years yet Lindsay Graham still spouts nonsense about fighting for Ukrainian democracy. No one is this stupid, he knows what he's saying is completely false but he still does it. Why?
There are plenty more examples in the last thirty years where the US ended up in wars where it didn't belong, all of which worked to Israel's interests to destabilize its enemies. Serbia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and now Ukraine. They've been agitating for war with Iran for the last twenty years. It didn't used to be like this.
The best explanation I can think of is that Graham is compromised, probably by Mossad (ala a Jeffrey Epstein-type set up). There are plenty more like him.
I was not actually messing with you, and am sorry that you had that feeling. I misunderstood who you were talking about, which is why I asked that question, in order to clarify if Iād understood correctly (clearly I had not). I thought you were not just taking about certain Americans (mostly neocons) but also about countries in Europe. I appreciate your clarification.
I would argue though that there are a fair number of Democrats who only pay lip service to supporting Israel but donāt really in reality. The people behind the pallets of cash to Iran certainly werenāt helping the Israelis with that action, for example.
I wonder if some of them hate him because they wish they could run their own country the way he does but aren't competent and liked enough to make it happen?
Exactly. "It's indisputable that Russians are better off" and the Russians fully know this and are very grateful for Putin's leadership after the fall of the Politburo and the ensuing chaos of the following years.
It may surprise many people that, under and as a result of Putin's leadership, very many Western families (and single folk) have chosen to move to Russia in recent years. A simple YouTube search substantiates this.
Why?
Seems to be for many of the reasons spoken about and debated right here on C & C.
I find it an outrage that anybody has to tippy toes around on the subject of Putin with obligatory displays of virtue signalling and grand shows of 'plausible denial' of endorsement. Consider that the United States (CIA/Deep States) has done nothing but pick wars on made up fairy tale pretexts, bullied the world using 'financial inducements and punishments' and styled itself into a planetary terror instrument ... even against its own alleged 'citizens'. There is no 'democracy' in the United States, no rule of law and no liberty. Only enslavement. And yet, Putin is the Cartoon Caricature of Incarnate of Evil ... and we are supposed to swallow that one down whole?
The United States should have embraced Russia with open arms after the fall of the Soviets. But United States could not do so because the United States is a 'government' ruled over by Satanic Monsters. Putin has the respect of the rest of the non-Western world while the United States is rightfully despised and hated around the globe ... and with good reason.
When I was a kid in the 1950s Greek and Roman genre films on the TV ... and I really wanted to how civilizations could possibly let themselves go to ruin when they had such a good thing going. I guess, and in retrospect, I should have been more circumspect in my wonderings.
If it gets to be too much, take some time out. Compare these two versions of the same song. Which do you like better ... or even is that a fair question.
A patch of blue sky is always just around the corner. However, the question is now how much pain must be endured? A boat load of Bolshevik or Mao pain? A wheelbarrow of Madame Guillotine Pain? Pol Pot or fall of the Soviets pain? A city under seize pain? It seems there is always a price somewhere to be paid. And what goes around comes around.
There certainly more heat in the ELO original. And to have to pick one over the other would be a false comparison. What is striking to me is that the two are so different ... and yet the same song.
100%. I was going to say the same thing but you already did. I know Jeff is a lawyer so part weasel (jest!) so prone to qualifying words, but regarding Putin he needs to stop with the 'I'm no Putin fan....' qualifier. No need.. it's not 2022. Most people know now Putin is the good guy.
Concur! I'm a retired, certified Cold Warrior, but this isn't the Cold War. Russia is longer communist. I think VVP is aces, and by the way if you think he's a scary loose cannon, get a load of some of the Lindsey Graham type hopefuls wanting to replace him.
Yes, Jeff C., actions indeed speak louder than words & the actions of Putin for his country & the hatred our āleadersā have for theirs is blatant. In addition, anything our demonic administration is against, I am FOR & vice versa.
Which is why Blinken wants to bomb Russia. Maybe we can get away with a minor incursion. Maybe we can walk into rattlesnake pits and not get bit. Maybe Tulsi Gabbard should be Trumpās running mate.
And I know personally many people from Russia who left there and came here and would never go back under any circumstances. They lived in very poor conditions and had little food and extremely poor healthcare. Imagine becoming ill and being hospitalized and forced to drink your own bile. I disagree with putting any communist/socialist country on a pedestal. No matter what the situation looks like here (at least for now) I would not want to change spots with the average person in Russia. Just adding a different perspective.
And Putin, like Trump, has been strongly vocal against global human trafficking. Two of the most hated leaders on the planet due mostly to false narratives believed by people who donāt research on their own. Powerful anti new world order Christian men who clearly love their countries.
I agree 100%. He dwarfs the clowns in our government. WTP are not those in the swamp. I don't lay claim to anyone in that place, and they do not represent ME. I respect Putin for his restraint under the taunt of idiots who are soon to fall, and fall hard. (Prayer hands)
I assert the current US administration declared war on its own people from the first day. 17 executive orders on first day, including shutting down domestic energy production (causing initial inflation spiral) and shutting down completion of the border wall. My recollection is hazy beyond that because the gestapo response to the spike protein virus and those who were inside the Capitol overtook everything in my mind. I just remember repeatedly shaking my head, had no inkling how fast and how far our sociopathic overlords would go.
Today an excellent segment in 2nd hour of Bannonās War Room on how lawfare has frightened the bejeezus out of conservative lawyers, thanks in part to Project 65 and other efforts by the left. All of our heroic justices who hew to the Constitution are under attack, and not a peep out of groups like the Federalist Society. Jeff is our fearless hero!!! May more follow his example.
As for Congress: useless. And if we massively demonstrate against the escalation in WW3, we end up in prison without knowing the charges.
Sister Davis being the Rowan County clerk in 2015 (Northeastern Kentucky) defied the US Supreme Court ruling that legalized same sex marriage. She refused to sign marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing her religious beliefs.
9 years after she is still in the hurdles of legal challenges by being forced to pay $360 K to the couple she denied marriage license.
The case is being now represented by Liberty Counsel and itās very much to go up to the SOTUS.
This is a good start. I've totally switched on this topic now that I've wised up to the damage it's caused.
Homosexuality is a mental illness and is sexually degenerate. We should no longer support the gay industry. Marriage should only be reserved for normal female/male couples.
It's really a shame it's come to this. I think it really was amped up when Obama started purging the conservatives and replacing with DEI-types. And it's just ramped up from there.
Obama is married to a guy....Big Mike. He definitely introduced the perversion as a precursor to all the other mental illness that would follow. His goal has always been to destroy the U.S. He also purposely fueled all of the racial division. It was all part of a global plan to bring down the U.S.
Obama also merged money designated for mental health with funds for jail diversion programs. This mingles people who should be in jail with those seeking mental health treatments. My friends grandson was at one of these facilities and was beaten so badly by someone who should have been in jail that he sustained permanent brain damage. When we were seeking mental health services for my son he was refused treatment at many places because he was NOT a convicted felon. So sad.
Have you looked at other 1st ladies like Barbara Bush and Eleanor Roosevelt to name a couple? Just because they look like dudes doesn't mean they are, but drag is nothing new.
Heās not being called Big Mike because of his physical looks. Heās called Big Mike because of the pictures with an appendage sticking out between his legs.
Of course. It was implied... "Just becasuse they look like dudes doesn't mean they are."
Who knows. They do have manly features and I could list a lot for both 1st ladies named.
It's just suspicion, but if we don't look at things carefully and question, we are just following what we are told as our controllers expect us to do... and most of never question.
Kinda like ALL the doctors over covid... It applies to everything.
How can we really blame them when we don't question things ourselves? They just followed their particular cult of medical technocrasy. People aren't the orchestrators but followers in multiple ways. It is mind boggling and for me, I have to constantly reflect on myself and what is right and true and realized there is nothing but Jesus I can count on.
True not all doctors... IMHO... Do you know of any doctor that told you not to take the jab, didn't force patients to wear masks, or prescribed ivermectin? I don't.
They were compelled to do bad things or lose their license. A few lost their license like that midwife in NY we supported a while back.
I saw some docs speak out like Malone but he has shady history and association with big pharm.
I know several docs. One died suddenly from a heart issue, another from a brain bleed, the other caved and took the jab although he didn't want to. The other docs I encountered followed the narrative.
I did not follow the narrativeā¦.My Ob pts were warned off of the jabs, I jousted with my hospital poobahs. In the end I took a jab to keep working, got a hot lot and a reaction, and when I got COVID, it was disabling. IVM kept me out of hospital. But I agree, many of my colleagues were sheep, and my peds colleagues continue to inject junk into kids, for money.
Watch, closely, the few brief videos of Michelle with *something* swinging behind her dress, just below waist level. Start with Michelle's appearance as a dancer on the Ellen Degenerate TV show: https://youtu.be/sXhJCsw0xC8
@Kathleen, I think it started sooner than that. When they dissolved the Women's Army Corp and merged it into the Regular Army. I lived through that experience. It wasn't pretty.
I think it's been a den of perversion at least since the 80s.
I would post a link to a youtube video with an ex-wife of a general from the 80s but I fear it will be taken down..... but let me just say... it is a 3 hour interview naming names and giving new meaning to "tail-hook". The degeneracy has been flowing from the top for a very very long time. Ex wives do get a conscience and they talk.... like this lady who gives a play by play of the UN Rio de Janeiro conference in the 90s. complete with the government clearing the streets of the homeless by execution prior to the start of that conference and going from there.
Join the club. I retired USN in 1997, could see it coming. Women bosses who didn't know shitMy nephew got his ranger tab in 2019 and, thankfully, quit. Imagine the $ they had invested in him. He knew, just like I did.
After the 1st Persian Gulf War, there was a real purge to get rid of people. The Army was brutal. I had a neighbor who was USN EOD/Diver and while on deployment in the Middle East, he was forced to retire with just a few months notice. Do you realize how much money they spent training him?
Another friend who was a helo pilot, was forced out at 17 years with a reduced retirement. Quite a shock because his son was just starting high school.
See lots of self-identified liberterians saying, "I supported gay marriage but I never supported this..." and "I supported pot legalization but I never expected this would happen..." Same thing with gambling. Lol.
These people gleefully kicked out the moral constraints of society, constraints in place for thousands of years, without any regard or critical thinking regarding the unintended consequences of doing so. It's all so comical and totally predictable. Those constraints were there for good reason, either through hard lessons learned or divine revelation (depending on your perspective). Now they act surprised when things go to hell in a handbasket and society crumbles.
The good news is that those who were taught or learned self-control can be wildly successful in a society filled with hedonists addicted to chasing the next instant gratification (at least until things collapse). Of course it's terrible for society in general, but cream has a great opportunity to rise to the top.
When I was a teenager I didnāt understand why people were warning me not to encourage laws going into place for gay marriage and suchā¦ a slippery slope they said, without explaining to me what they meant or giving me an idea of what that looked like, so I thought they were just being hateful.
I eventually learned what they were concerned about and now see manifesting in such evil ways.
I will not allow people to hurt children. Not one. Not ever.
This is my living amends.
I encourage everyone to have the information and proof to, calmly and with pure motives, explain to any person that asks āwhy notā (as I did) exactly what that slope can look likeā¦
I have done this with success. I often get the same response: āI had no idea people were doing that or even could, now I understandā. š
I had several online and personal conversations where I warned of where the legalization of same sex āmarriageā would lead.
All I heard back (from the short sighted and undiscerning) was ālove is loveā, or āhow is this hurting you?ā, or ā what you are saying (fill in the blank) would never happen!ā , or they just want āequalityā.
Some people live in a fantasy world of what they wish life to be, and they never think beyond it. Those of us who foresaw the looming disaster have been heartsick to see our worst fears coming true. And, it is continuing to get worse every day.
This is exactly why I've come to believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God. Either that or it was composed by the wisest, smartest people that ever lived (and there's little proof of that).
The Bible provides behavioral guardrails for life that are spectacularly successful if followed. People who adhere to them prosper in every way, spiritually, emotionally, physically, financially, and in their relationships. If one follows Biblical morality they really can't help being successful in life, it just happens.
Yet modern society is too sophisticated for that (or so they tell themselves) and think that happiness comes from material possessions and who they fornicate with. Traditions are foolish, and aren't the accumulated wisdom of generations.
Unsurprisingly instead of success they leave a trail of broken people and wrecked lives in their wake.
This stuff is not new and has been known for thousands of years. The consequences of ignoring it have been known for thousands of years. I learned my lessons the hard way but fortunately only needed to do so once (all glory to God). Some people never do though.
I couldnāt agree more. It seems each generation thinks itās smarter than the ones before. They want to rewrite all the rules to accommodate and justify their own desires. Itās evil perverse, and anti-God.
Clearly, we are seeing the rotten fruit of that now.
Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. One day the older daughter said to the younger, āOur father is old, and there is no man around here to give us childrenāas is the custom all over the earth. Letās get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.ā
That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
The next day the older daughter said to the younger, āLast night I slept with my father. Letās get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.ā So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
So both of Lotās daughters became pregnant by their father. The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi ; he is the father of the Ammonites of today.
What's your point Bryan? If it's that the Bible contains descriptions of unpleasant activities then that's no surprise to most of us here as we've actually read it. If you are trying to claim that the Bible condones sinful behavior then you are wasting your time. Save it for the biblically illiterate.
Wrong, the Bible has stories of people who engage in these activities and it destroys their life. The Bible is explicitly clear all of these are sinful.
After you pass through your libertarian, atheist, rebellion against your parents stage, and have actually grown up some, come back and talk to us. We don't have time for people who cherry-pick out of context passages attempting to show off who have never actually bothered to read the book.
Edit: After rereading what I wrote comes off as really harsh and I didn't mean it that way. I was exactly where you are thirty years ago. If you want to productively argue a specific point where you think the Bible condones evil then go for it. But saying the Bible vaguely "appears to condone" certain evil when it says in no uncertain terms not to do these things is disingenuous. If you want to say it's contradictory in places then you have to consider context to see if it truly is. You cannot persuasively claim stories of people's misbehavior are the same as telling people to do something, particularly when other places in the Bible say don't do it.
You know who the Moabites and Ammonites are in the bible, right? The major rivals of Israel? Yeah, this is basically the ancient equivalent of "your mommas are such wh*res, they even banged their own dad".
Agree. Never had any problem with consenting adults doing what ever they wanted with each other. What's changed, and what's wrong, is this deranged jihad to normalize virtually any behavior and lifestyle. Common sense will tell you that if males don't couple with females, humanity ends, so that is normal . I didn't make the rules of Nature.
I think they crossed a clear line when they started targeting kids. I think that will be their downfall. I think most people can handle the less than 1% weirdos/pervs that live in the shadows - just ignore them and laugh about it. Arrest them if they cross the line. That is, so long as they don't try to indoctrinate kids. Well, that line has been crossed and now has left/liberal gov't support behind it.
Drag queens in schools? And the "libertarian" candidate is for this? What world is this? Are they the libertarian party or the libertine party?
What cannot continue will not continue. The more they keep rolling with this attack on the foundation of humanity itself, the bigger the blowback is going to be. Going to be a lot of "conservatives" who stood silent throughout this that find themselves primaried out of their job.
@RU I absolutely agree! Once they came after the kids, pretty much everyone woke up and said "H*LL NO!" Well, except for the AWFULs (Affluent White Female Urban Liberals) and their virtual signaling.
You say that but there are many things that even consenting adults SHOULD NOT and ARE NOT even by wisdom allowed to do to one another. THERE ARE THINGS that MUST NEVER BE DONE to another. Abuse is abuse even if consented to and homosexually practices ARE PHYSICAL ABUSE!
The very same practices that they hate the opposite sex for they do to one another.... But better. šš¤š£ It's FOR SURE ABUSIVE. Obviously there is heterosexual abuse too and if told they are condemned and tried. There is a wise moral law...we don't like the Law makers.
Jesus is lawmaker and judge. Get to know Him. The 'SUN' IS COMING SOON. Psalm 2
God ordained marriage between a male & female. Period. Man usurps God to sanction āmarriageā to any other twosome. Man putting himself above God.
We live in a fallen world bc of a certain angel putting himself above God & his enticing Eve to go against God (& she enticed her husband to do so also).
Today the rebellion against God is rampant & even codified in manmade laws.
Pandoraās Box was opened years ago - tolerance for homosexuality started small & now we see where the inevitable progression has led.
Paul writes about marriage throughout his epistles and essays. Research it using one of the Bible websites that allows you to enter a key phrase and search for occurences.
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
"... and therefore husbands must love their wives as Christ loved the Church, and gave His life for her."
At least read in context.
Not to mention other places where he writes that "the husband's body does not belong to him along, but to his wife" (which was shocking to readers of that era, who thought than men basically "owned" their families).
3 Some Pharisees came to him to test [Jesus]. They asked, āIs it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?ā
4 āHavenāt you read,ā he replied, āthat at the beginning the Creator āmade them male and female,ā[a] 5 and said, āFor this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one fleshā? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.ā
Not to mention the trans nonsense. Tell me a person doesn't have mental problems when she tries to give herself a mastectomy! Of course, news articles call this person "he/him."
That is so incredibly sad!! I don't understand how the "experts" say that cutting is a mental disorder, but yet when this young woman tries to cut off her breasts, all they scream is "we need more gender affirming care". WTH?! Cutting is still cutting and it's still a mental problem.
While I agree with you (how could I not agree with Based Florida Man?), I object to the necessity of a 'license' to marry. Given the divorce rates, the license is completely ineffectual anyway.
I heard a statement about marriage licensing: it brings government into the covenant of marriage, making it a three-way relationship. Had not thought of it that way.
This is very true, but I suppose it is progress that they us slaves marry at all. But then again, not really. The amount of control they exert for this privilege that they give us license to exercise is outrageous. They make it fairly easy to enter into this contract with them but nearly impossible to get out of it unscathed.
The best non-judgmental description I once heard (and use myself) is that it is naturally occurring in small numbers, but non-normative (for obvious reasons -- couples can not reproduce).
Is it a disorder? For many I think it is, but for others it can simply be non-normative. In those cases, individuals should be able to lead a happy, safe and acceptable alternative life free from discrimination.

I'm no lawyer but as one sometimes forced into involuntary servitude to the judicial system, I have some thoughts.
1. She didn't defy a ruling of the supreme court. She wasn't even in the same state to which the ruling applied. The only ones that could defy the ruling were the government of California that made the law.
1a. This was a law by referendum which is the closest thing we have to democracy in this country. That the will of the people can be overturned by a majority of 9 should tell us something.
2. The supreme court doesn't make anything legal or illegal other than the law itself. Many decisions have only resulted in a re-drafting of the law that was found to be unconstitutional. That this law was not tells much about the system and its aims.
3. She broke no law in denying the marriage license. Actually, she was following the law of her state as it was at the time.
4. The "law" that she supposedly broke and was jailed for was made up on the spot by a single judge who served as legislature, executive, and judicial branches.
4a. This is a clear violation by the judge of the constitution which is ironic because SCOTUS rules on the constitutionality of laws. This judge read the opinion of SCOTUS and made his own law which applied only to a single person. Why do we allow this? Is it because we have been deceived into believing that our rights come from the Constitution when the document actually defines roles, responsibilities. and limitations of government entities?
5. She didn't need to cite religious beliefs. She should have just cited the law as it was on the books at the time. Then let the judge explain the reasoning for putting her in jail over... following the law.
5a. It is suspicious that this obvious legal defense was not used. I'm only an occasional juror charged with determining whether a law was broken but the whole thing feels rather contrived.
The Jeffery Sachs interview on Tucker was illuminating with regard to Putin. I was reminded of the story I read about the North Vietnam leader before the war, who came to Washington to talk with the President about democracy because he was interested in learning about how it worked. He sat outside the Oval Office for a week waiting to talk with the President but was ignored. He left the US disheartened and not long after he met with the Chinese leadership to talk about Communism. The rest as they say is history. US leadership has made devastating mistakes, and fails to learn from past mistakes.
Same one who was working in a Paris restaurant after WW1 ended and tried to wave the US Declaration of Independence under US President Wilson's nose at the Versailles Treaty talks?
Just studied Revelations, Daniel, Isaiah, Amos and about to be done with Hosea. (*Onlineā Shepherdās Chapel, Pastor Arnold Murray is the best!) Itās like reading tomorrowās headlines TODAY! The same players are

It was over $300 million and only lasted 10 days. They obviously didnāt spend the money on engineeringā¦. Where did that money go? And while Iām at it, where did the money go for the EV charging stations that cost $1 BILLION a pop? Who is getting the money? Personally, I think itās just a money laundering scheme to further enrich the rich with a goal of gutting our economy til it falls into a pile of debris.
That stuff is mere chump change. Our DOD misplaced two point three trillion dollars as of year 2001, according to that scion of foreign intrigue Donald Rumsfeld.
IDF has a nasty habit of bombing Aid Workers driving in supplies. They don't want aid reaching the Palestinians. Starvation is just one of their methods of genocide.
The civilian/military casualty ratio in this conflict is one point one to one, which is commendably low, according to military historians and analysts.
From what I understand, the main road is at Egypt's border [Sinai Peninsula] Possible Israel has bombed areas but Egypt doesn't want all the refugees they then will have to provide for. So the border is closed.
There's multiple access points from land. All are easier to use than spending a third of a billion dollars for a floating pier. The US could snap it's fingers and have access. So who's stopping them?
Any closed border can be opened, or a new access point created anywhere along the miles of wall, much cheaper than a third of a billion dollar floating pier.
The irony is the US sends $billions to Israel to mass murder the citizens of Palestine. One wonders if this pier to deliver aid to Gaza was really built to work.
320 million to be exact. When did millions spent start to appear as harmless as thousands spent? It boggles the mind! Never have millions seemed like pocket change....until now.
It was a FAKE aid plan; "we don't need Egypt, we don't discuss with Israel, we BUILD A PIER for the WORLD to see we can't be stopped!!! We're Democrats who control America and the greatest military in history after all!" The DERANGED, unhinged Hate of the Union Speech put into action for us all to witness they mean business. NPR needs to do a story of how pregnant Palestinians are not receiving the abortion services they need during this time of genocidal razing of GAZA.
Hello! This is all theater. The pier was simply a disposable stage prop. One pier is suppose to supply all the food, water and medical aid needed by millions of Gaza residents who are being continually bombed by the Israeli state guided by their US supplied AI targeting system? This war was planned and coordinated by the USG and Israel so Israel would have the excuse to turn the entirety of the Gaza population into refugees and then fully occupy Gaza as part of Israel. The Biden administration paid Iran billions in "aid" as payment for Iran's proxy organization Hamas to stage a faux terrorist attack while Israel stood down their IDF forces so the attack could produce the appropriate "stage effects" of a successful terrorist attack. It's all theater folks. And now the Biden administration is going to import the Gaza refuges into the US as part of their destabilization plans for America.
And let's be clear. If the USG was sincere about their concerns for the Gaza population, they would simply order Israel to cease their blanket bombing of the Gaza civilians and order Israel to begin humanitarian aid to the population or the USG would cut off all aid to Israel. That's not going to happen for obvious reasons. The USG is in bed with the Israeli government the same way a doddering old man is seduced by a gold-digging harlot!
Israel would refuse. But also, Israel refusing and the United States not demanding humanitarian relief, this makes quite a statement to the world.
And I am thinking that the rest of the world already know that the United States is a house of cards. Ukraine failure, Afghanistan failure and Middle East failures make this abundantly clear. It's only a matter of time before more shoes fall.
I suspect it is (or the intent was) as a means for transporting the Palestinians out of their land 'for their safety'. There are many repatriation discussions going on. It's all part of the Greater Israeli Project which Netanyahu talked about in Sept 2023. Clear out Gaza, build beautiful beachfront properties, build the Ben Gurion canal (as an alternative to the Suez canal, so not dependent on Egypt or the Arab world). The native Palestinians stand in their way.
Phil Giraldi reported that the so called pier is literally falling apart. Great use of our money huh? Why doesnāt Israel pay to fix the destroyed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore since they are such a great ally.
That would be possible if you ran it through Alaska and the chain of Islands in the oceans around Alaska to Russia but it would be a net negative on profitability.
This year's October Surprise may well be furnished by Russia. I'm no Putin fan either, but I must admit that his patience with our meddling in the war is quite something. But thanks to the strategic geniuses in the White House, I think that patience will soon end in a bid, scary way.
I agree. šÆ A friendly aside: Please let's all feel free to give praise where due in the political sphere without having to predicate with " I'm not a fan" because I don't think that anybody is a true fan of any leader šÆ%, even Trump. š
LOVE the NYT report on to bomb or not to bomb Russia. āMr. Biden has remained silent as he often does when faced with a major policy decision such as, āCream of Wheat or Quaker Oats this morning?āā
Poking (provoking) the Putin Bear and the Bragg/ Merchan/DOJ/Biden trial in NYC have a common theme. Keep Trump and MAGA from Winning the 2024 Election. If Trump is not derailed with this trial, Plan B (or C or D), is WW3. The Fog of War gives the Biden Regime options to postpone the Election.
Actually, I am a Putin Fan ... for reason of a well administered and prosperous Russia. Check out Biden and the entire lying NeoCon Establishment, R and D alike, and it is no contest.
Yes, per the earlier comment and thread by Jeff C, I pause whenever I hear the preface "I'm no XXX fan, but ..." The left does that all the time whenever it finds itself agreeing with a person not on 'their' side.
In truth, at this point I am a Putin fan. He and his country have been relentlessly provoked by US/"NATO" for the last 35 years. NATO has expanded, from around 12 countries when the USSR fell in 1991, to over 30 today, after our solid promises we would not advance one inch to the east. We've completed surrounded them on their Ukrainian borders, with troops, special forces, bio labs, etc. They/he has shown amazing restraint under the circumstances. But it can't be expected to last forever.
I do think that Russia has been needlessly provoked by NATO/US, but in my mind that doesn't justify Putin's actions. It amazes me that after Napoleon, WWI, and WWII we thought that Russia would fold like a cheap suit after a few thousand casualties. They're in it for the long haul. Negotiation is the only way out of this.
Your description of waiting for the Trump trial to culminate reminds me of birth. I donāt expect a joyful outcome, although I would love to see some heroic juror somehow resist the brutal pressure to convict. Not to trivialize at all but also feels like today is major block on the 2024 Bingo card and weāre all waiting for it to be unveiled.
Prediction: Trump gets convicted, the case gets tortured up to the Supreme Court, the Supremes reverse, and libs hammer that ruling as proof of extreme bias. Proto insurrectionist āAbsalom would say, āOh, that I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit or cause would come to me; then I would give him justiceāā (2 Samuel 15:4).
I'm sort of leaning that way too. They'll get a conviction even though it's ripe for appeal and then all we'll hear from the Biden campaign and the media from now thru election will be "convicted felon Trump". I'll be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong.
Not at all! Five kids and both my husband and I still did this even with the 5th. I think itās partly conditioning about SIDS, which isnāt really SIDS just like SADS isnāt really SADS. We didnāt have that risk factor but we still worried. Thanks, medical scare-mongers š
I don't know what to think about Putin because 98.6% of everything I have been told about him came from the same people who lied about Trump, Covid, Jabs, WMD's and a plethora of other issues.
Putin probably has some issues but they can't be any worse than the issues our elected politicians and their legions of unelected, over paid bureaucrats have.
I'm right there too CC. I see him as an effective leader who's also tough and ruthless. Lombardi with an army, so to speak. The all-powerful leader isn't a model I'd want to live under; but if I did, I can think of many who would be worse to have at the helm.
My dad wrote a Substack post a couple years ago about his experiences working in Russia. He recalled a conversation he had while walking in St Petersburg, once one of the most dangerous cities in the world, but at that time perfectly safe.
āWhat changed?ā I asked my guide.
āMr. Putin changed things,ā he said.
āAnd how did he do that,ā I asked.
āI donāt know. He is KGB. They know how to do stuff like that.ā
The Russians certainly donāt seem to have a problem with his ruthlessness.
Yāall I have a new thought..... do you think the Democrats know that Biden is going to lose the election so theyāre ruining the economy on purpose to blame it on Trump and republicans? Giving them years of steam for their ideas? Or no, still just doing this to usher in a supranational government?
I am beginning to think the same thing - give Trump such a mess and then blame him starting Jan 22, 2025. The media will lap it up like the good little dogs they are.
If it plays out this way, Trump will have to go in with the biggest chainsaw he can find.
The country proved it was majority stupid re the scamdemic so itās certainly possible a majority can be brainwashed into believing all the bad started in January 2025? Weāre doomed
Thatās the whole point of the propaganda arm of the federal government. To control the dopes that watch the television for news. So theyāve been lying for months now how bad the economy isnāt, all they have to do, if trump is allowed to win, is tell the truth. And then it becomes all pdtās fault
Nope. Iām pretty sure the fix is in, and 2000 mules will become 5 million mules. And because there is proof that gap toothed fat black pig from Georgia got away with her end of the hustle, they see no reason to stop. Itās all hands on deck, gear up the printers!
My gut says "they" thought Biden would be another controllable useful idiot, ditto his vp, but trouble is "they" are all either blithering idiots or dumb tools of truly pyschopathic string pullers.
They think they'll win. Or I should say, they are determined to win. Even given the recent Bronx demonstration for Trump, I don't see how Trump is going to win CA or NY, 2 large electoral voting states. He still wasn't ahead in WI last I heard. I've heard the whole election could hinge on a single state like WI or MI or PA. Recent polls have Trump extending his lead in MI and PA. They thought they were going to destroy Trump in the courtroom, didn't work. I predicted months ago their efforts to stay in power would know no bounds. If the results look to be too in favor of Trump by August, watch out. Historically, when at war, people vote to keep the incumbent. I'm just sayin'...
āHistorically, when at war, people vote to keep the incumbent. I'm just sayin'...ā
But THIS incumbent is totally different- obviously in need of home or institutional care. Even a segment of the uninformed masses know this, & that war under his āleadershipā is dire.
Biden (aka Briben) is now working with less than 128 bytes of RAM and can't finish a single sentence without ejecting an indecipherable word salad from his lips. We all know he hasn't made a single decision these past four years except what flavor of ice cream he would like when he finally gets up in the morning. Are madmen running the show? It sure seems like it. The congress is most likely impotent in these matters because the vast majority are benefitting financially from these decisions. They have dual passports and bunkers and are sophisticated "citizens of the world." Well, it's hard for me to look at someone like AOC as "sophisticated," but you get my point. There is no accountability for these people and they seem have all run amok. If anyone thinks they care one iota about anyone but their donors, they are delusional. And they only care about their donors because they offer the intoxicating effects of money and power. What a destructive cycle.
I'll say it again. We are being led by insane psychopaths who are foaming at the mouth to start World War III. I hate this government right now so badly. Why do they have to destroy everything we love? Why are they so eager to depopulate the planet? Why?
I pray for David Martin's safety daily. His cohort is in a German jail right now..... sorry can't remember his name. The globalists ran an operation on him and locked him up.
Tucker asks Jeffery Sachs whether the proxy war is "unprovoked", and in the first part of the interview, he explains the remote and recent history, which allows the viewer to conclude that the US/Nato provoked the war. Much thoughtful material here https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1795500379578253729
Great interview. I know several C&C commenters recommended this yesterday so I finally started listening. I'm only a 1/3 of the way through, but spellbound by the factual presentation. Well worth the time.
Jeff Childers wrote, "Honestly, I am no Putin fan, but..."
I wish people didn't feel compelled to say this before saying anything complimentary about Putin but I understand how the game is played. As much as it's heresy to say, I am becoming a Putin fan but then I'm grading on a curve compared to Clown World's leaders.
Putin is thoughtful, historically knowledgeable, and articulate. He's a Russian patriot who actually wants to improve conditions for Russia's citizens. He claims to be a Christian (which I question) but it's clear he has respect for Russia's historical Christianity and has furthered its influence in Russia. He was relentless is wrestling the country away from the oligarchs who systematically looted and plundered Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union. He has dramatically improved the standard of living for the typical Russian.
Yes he's no Thomas Jefferson. But compare what Putin has done for the people of Russia versus the West's leaders for the past thirty years. Talk about "democracy" is all well and good, but the bottom line is the results. Are a country's citizens better off or worse off during a leader's tenure? It's indisputable that Russians are better off, and the West's citizens are worse off.
Yet we are constantly told that this guy who actually loves his country (as opposed to the West's leaders who despise their country) is the new Hitler. It's all so transparent and stupid.
Well said Jeff C. I have more respect for Putin than I do for clinton, obama, and biden put together. Does that mean I like him, don't know him. But he has shown more intelligence and dignity, than the above mentioned bozos. Who I do believe want to destroy America.
Clinton said a long time ago that we (meaning he) thought that a strong America was bad and that he wanted to weaken the country. I think he succeeded but heās a neophyte compared to the current anti-president.
Damn skippy. I'd be up for an even money swap, but the Russians would never go for it.

The question no one asks (in polite company at least) is why do they all hate Putin so much? It seems pretty obvious to me when you look at what the propagandists share in common. Two obvious ones are 1) unilateral support of Israel and 2) support of the homosexual/depopulation agenda. Number one is shared by virtually every Putin critic (as it is for all neocons), number two is shared by most of them. So why is that? Weird.
They hate Putin because Putin stand in 'their' way of tearing down Russian and Christian morality. 'They' rather embrace the Luciferian Code of 'do what thou will' ... and skip along happily murdering, lying and looting.
By the way, Jeffery Sachs in the Tucker interview says that 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died in the US/Russia/Ukraine War. This does not even begin to address the looting of the Ukraine by 'Western Interests'.
I think the number is higher. I am always suspicious when the number hits a certain threshold and then remains static. For more than a year, they've said 500 - 600K dead in Ukraine. What, no more deaths since? And now they are conscripting men in their 50s and 60s; men with Downs syndrome and diabetes. And of course now we see the gross propaganda pieces with the young women (with perfect hair, makeup and acrylic nails!) marching into battle in the camouflage unifoms.
Same with the 35K dead in Palestine, another static number for the last 4-5 months. But the Israeli government continues its assault on the civilian populations there. How many missing and unaccounted for? Assume they are all dead.
Reasonable Horses calls it a Clown Show Slaughter, and of course ... he is right. And the Cretin Clowns call the money and slaughter a 'good investment'! And the Congressional Clowns wave Ukrainian flags and in a stupor monotonously cry out, Glory to the Ukraine!
Criminally pathetic.
Beyond sickening....
Everyone is fed up to the gills. A horror show.
It's a clown show slaughter.
I wonder who's looting the vaults where our gift cards for Zelensky are stashed. What an outrageous disgrace.
Remind me what is worth "looting" in Ukraine? Grain? Sunflowers? Watermelons?

Sorry to reply to multiple of your comments in one day, but I tend to agree with what you write.
Anyway, the way I see it in broad terms is: Marxism and all its variants - socialism, communism, fascism - are European creations. The neocons are the intellectual offspring of communism (Trotsky's version, specifically). And the gay/trans agenda and depop agenda are also developments of Marxist ideologies (oppressor/oppressed & population micro-mgmt), and European in origin.
Israel is a British concern and a key cog in their divide-and-conquer strategy. Russia has long been a target/obsession of the British. They want to conquer, divide up, and colonize Russia to take its land and resources (that probably sounds familiar to Africans). Of course, England is the big boss of Europe.
So, it seems to me the neocons (neoliberals are mostly the same TBH) actually work for Europe. It's who they report to. This is why they are all aligned on all these issues: Marxist religious ideology and loyalty to Europe above America. They believe Marxism is morally superior to capitalism. They believe all the forms of perversion are morally superior to traditional values. They believe Europe is better than the US. Not just different, but better, more "evolved." Talk to most everyone leading a F500 co. and you will find they share these beliefs.
This is why they hate Putin so much. He does not share these Marxist beliefs. In fact, Putinism is what is replacing their beloved communism in Russia. It's succeeding where communism failed.
And it's why in reality we in the US have had taxation w/o representation for decades now. Our leaders are actually working for a foreign entity. It's also why our generals dress up in high heels and pose as furries online. Europeanism and Marxism.
It's all going to come crashing down b/c Marxism in all its forms is diametrically opposed to flourishing at any level of society, individual through to the whole. It's a Ponzi scheme system that always fails, after causing massive damage.
Time to throw some more tea into Boston harbor.

While I agree with you on some points (Marxism and communism serving as a framework for some of the beliefs of the neocons and co) I would disagree with this assertion:
āOf course, England is the big boss of Europe.ā
I would argue this is not true, there has always been strong opposition to Britain from other European countries on many levels (and vice versa), and Brexit wouldnāt have happened if Britain really was the leader of Europe. Theyāve actually been the outlier on a lot of policies.
I also think the structures and language of Marxism etc are just another facade of ideology when ultimately it doesnāt matter what itās called. These people simply want control, and it doesnāt actually matter to them how they get it or what ideology allows them to get there. Marxism and communism are the ideological version of useful idiots.
Hard to discuss these things in a comments section, but I don't disagree with anything you've written. I probably didn't express my thoughts well.
My point was England is the biggest financial center, hence the major player (since everything comes back to finance), and the latest empire. It seems to me the EU has been kind of rudderless since Brexit. And I think a lot of moves that have been made since were made to undo it. I think the Brexit and Trump situations have terrified the broader EU and its supporters. Despite Brexit, England still has a lot of influence within Europe. Not that they don't compete for power.
And, I totally agree, Marxism is a cover for the lust for power. Always was IMO, including Marx himself, who it seems was just a grifter who wanted power for himself that he didn't have. It's a system of central control, compared to capitalism, which is a system of dispersed control. Basically economic totalitarianism vs. economic democracy. Those longing for power will always be attracted to the systems that promise centralized control, even if they are not "true believers" themselves.
I was just trying to explain 'why' some things that seem to be disparate cluster together. The neocons are in love with leftist central planning ideologies - including the downstream "neo" ideas - that yield centralized control. And a really good way to implement a divide-and-conquer strategy. And I have come to agree with the folks who say England is more central to neoconservatism than we often give credit for.
Their core "trick" has been convincing large swaths of the low information public - including most corporate execs at this point - that things like socialism and central planning are morally superior and better, when they're really not. We're moral creatures. To me that's the way out of this - to show the immorality of Marxism and all its follow-on neo-isms. Break the spell.
Thanks for the convo!
Very thoughtful and interesting comment, as always, thank you!
Personally, I think "they" hate Putin because "they" need an enemy against which they can rally Americans. They need someone to blame for all the bad things that happen in the world and they need someone to blame for their failures at home. Plus, they need a reason to continue funding the military-industrial complex which in turn funds all the congressional slush funds on both sides of the aisle.
Yes, I think this is accurate.

Jeff C - they hate Putin & Trump because Putin & Trump are the 2 leaders blocking the path to a One World global government.
The WEF-CCP knows that ALL the other national āleadersā can be bought or blackmailed.
But not Trump & Putin.
I believe they hate Putin because the baby boomers were brought up with the idea that Russia is the nuclear threat that would wipe us off the map. The same tactics were used to make many hate Trump. Lie and slander and twist facts. However, Putin is playing both sides. His oligarchs were getting billions for uranium deals mined on American soil and funneled back to Russia. That would be the Clinton foundation. I highly doubt he had no knowledge of this deal.
Stop throwing all Baby Boomers into the same basket. Baby Boomers are as diverse as other age brackets. You can see that here on C&C as many are of that age. People are made up of individuals and should be looked at as such; not putting everyone in a box and making a declaration of how they think or feel.
I stated my opinion. I am allowed to do such. I also have no way of knowing who is a baby boomer unless they specifically state as such or their age. Since the baby boomer generation is listed as those born 1946-1964, it covers almost 20 years. I am at the older end while my youngest brother is at the youngest end. Our opinions are vastly different. But among my age group when the Cold War was heating up, nuclear war was always threat. Still, it is my opinion and I stand by it.
Case in point: my in-laws and my parents are the same age, but one set thinks Putin is literally Hitler (why? because āPutin badā) and the other set has a much more nuanced view weāve seen throughout C&C posts and comments. Also, one set is welcoming to the many C&C posts I have sent their way and the other set still thinks Fox News is a conservative news source. So. š¤·āāļø
I see the same thing as you describe Susanna, all around me.
(I cannot LIKE ā„ļø your post due to that option is not functioning; ā¦ for many of us. But I do like your post.)
I think it goes back to the old Great Game of Europe from petty warlord thuggery from a Hapsburg with one castle above a choke point on the Rhine River in Switzerland close to an old Roman Empire army fort on that river to literal multi-nation empire building efforts through intermarriages to conquests and alliances ever since the Roman Empire fell, the Holy Roman Empire of Catholics arose, and its ongoing schism with the Eastern Orthodox church now rising again in Russia.
Euro-American leaders look today at globes and like children freak out at the geographic size of Russia (and China, too) always forgetting most of those 2 countries' land is not highly arable. Loess lands in China are badlands, lots of big deserts in China, while most of Siberia is not farmable. Both countries historically are often on the brink of mass starvation. Hence, the reason Russia must have Ukraine as an ally or at least a neutral or friendly nation given it is the breadbasket of Europe as well as hosting ice-free Navy and trade ports. And, ditto why China deeply fears to its core having its trade routes on land or sea controlled by any nations who want it kept weak as NATO's founding principals expressly declare for Russia.
I never forget NATO, EU and ICC headquarters are in Belgium and the Netherlands, "neutral" nations created out of thin air from the remnants of other nations after the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Netherlands happy until its last elections to seize farm lands for global climate fear-porn. Belgium's borders enclosing Flemish and French speakers were drawn *for* the convenience of that war's top victors: the UK and some small German nations who treated Russia then as a hopelessly backward nation. So similar to WW1 victors carving up the Mideast for their own convenience drawing lines through every strong ethic group to weaken them.
Guess where the Belgian and Dutch gold reserves ended up after WW1 and WW2? Note what rivers meet the sea at The Hague and Amsterdam. Coincidence? at the end of the Napoleonic Wars the VOC, the world's oldest corporation, was magically dissolved and its assets ended up in the Dutch royal family's bank accounts.
The Belgian royal family was in fact created and installed by then UK powerhouse which selected the widower of its dead Crown Princess Charlotte to be Belgium's first king: King Leopold 1. He was also the blood uncle of Queen Victoria's husband Albert, both men from the poor and small German Saxe Coburg Gotha duchy. Leo 1 quickly spawned King Leopold 2, the slaver of the Congo as depicted in Conrad's "Heart of Darkness. Leo 1 also spawned Empress Carlotta of Mexico who was married off to Maximillian, a brother of the then Austro-Hungarian Emperor and WW1 leader Kaiser Franz Joseph. Max & Carlotta were installed as rulers of Mexico during the US Civil War strongly supported by Belgium, UK, France and Franz Joseph.
Those kinds of titular "leaders" and their enablers/profiteers are ruthless and don't care one whit for any "populace" on the planet. They feel entitled to rule always over other humans and literally use them, too, as "dumb peasants" or actual slaves. They have insatiable desires for ever more power. Psychopaths one and all. Exactly like narco-terrorist mafias using thuggery to intimidate, manipulate, and defeat any opponents.
Great historical perspective and excellent points!! I do think a lot of this is an effort by those people historically in power through their dynasties of āaristocracyā to wrest back full control.
They never give up until they loose a big war or get executed while their "bankers" merrily roll on funding their Great Game Exploits. UK tried to get back the USA as a colony in the 1812 War. Then again by it with help from France, Belgium and the Austro-Hungarian Empire sending Max & Carlotta to Mexico during our Civil War to try to grab back big chunks of Old Mexico won by the USA in the Mex-American War. Max, a brother of Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz Joseph (who was a key sleepwalker into WW1) and Carlotta, a daughter of Belgian King Leopold 1 and a niece of Queen Victoria's husband.... a Big Game in the 1860s for Euro ruling families and their bankers to try "officially" to control all Mexican customs/import taxes but really just a cash and land grab attemot. Abraham Lincoln financially supported Benito Juarez who fought and beat the Euro-royals.
This Sunday Mexico elects a new president for a 6 year term. To date this election cycle 36 mayorial and other candidates have been assassinated, the kind of mess royals and their ilk constantly use as an excuse to be "benevolent" tyrants. The 3 lead presidential candidates have had 3 debates since April this year. I wishing Mexico well on Sunday.
They should transfer that hate to Xi who is systematically planning the destruction of the West, primarily US. All the Chinese military-age men crossing our border every day did so with Chinese permission and also our dementia ridden puppet president.
Hating all things Russian is part of our US DNA. We have to hate Putin. Just like we have to trust our overlords. We can not fathom agreeing with Putin any more than we can imagine our government destroying this country.
Cue the Rude Awakening. Come Lord Jesus!
The only reason the hate Mr Putin is because they read it in the captured MSM of choice.
ā1) unilateral support of Israelā
By whom, specifically?
Your comments are always intelligent RL, so I think you are messing with me here. There is a 99.9% overlap of those pushing Ukraine who are also Israel-first neocons. I can't think of a singe Ukraine hawk who doesn't also want to throw billions at Israel.
Go down the line on the GOP side; Johnson, McConnell, Rubio, Cotton, Graham, Haley, etc. It's the same on the Dem side with Schumer and his ilk. Plus the entire foreign policy and pundit crowd: Blinken, Nuland, Kristol, Podhoretz, Shapiro, and all of the others. If they are pushing Ukraine they are also pushing Israel. There are a few that support Israel but have not said much about Ukraine, but none the other way around that I can think of.
So why is that? Do war-mongers just tend to love mayhem no matter where it's happening? Perhaps. A more likely explanation is that Israel sees a Russian defeat as in its interests due to Russia's historical animosity towards Israel and Jews in general. Clearly everything coming out of Ukraine has been a lie for two solid years yet Lindsay Graham still spouts nonsense about fighting for Ukrainian democracy. No one is this stupid, he knows what he's saying is completely false but he still does it. Why?
There are plenty more examples in the last thirty years where the US ended up in wars where it didn't belong, all of which worked to Israel's interests to destabilize its enemies. Serbia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and now Ukraine. They've been agitating for war with Iran for the last twenty years. It didn't used to be like this.
The best explanation I can think of is that Graham is compromised, probably by Mossad (ala a Jeffrey Epstein-type set up). There are plenty more like him.
Thank you for your response.
I was not actually messing with you, and am sorry that you had that feeling. I misunderstood who you were talking about, which is why I asked that question, in order to clarify if Iād understood correctly (clearly I had not). I thought you were not just taking about certain Americans (mostly neocons) but also about countries in Europe. I appreciate your clarification.
I would argue though that there are a fair number of Democrats who only pay lip service to supporting Israel but donāt really in reality. The people behind the pallets of cash to Iran certainly werenāt helping the Israelis with that action, for example.
I wonder if some of them hate him because they wish they could run their own country the way he does but aren't competent and liked enough to make it happen?
I agree, stop the clarifying comment.
To clarify, i approve of the prior clarification
I actually made a post about the same thing!
Exactly. "It's indisputable that Russians are better off" and the Russians fully know this and are very grateful for Putin's leadership after the fall of the Politburo and the ensuing chaos of the following years.
There was a time, not so long ago, when many Russians wanted so badly to come to America to live.....not so much, anymore.
Let's go Brandon.
I have a friend moving to Russia with his Russian wife. He claims everything is cheap, the people are friendly and itās beautifulā¦ā¦
....he's right.
^^^
One of Putin's avowed enemies is George Soros. I'm probably not alone in saying I'd choose Putin over anyone associated with George Soros, any day.
^^^
Well said.
It may surprise many people that, under and as a result of Putin's leadership, very many Western families (and single folk) have chosen to move to Russia in recent years. A simple YouTube search substantiates this.
Why?
Seems to be for many of the reasons spoken about and debated right here on C & C.
Go woke, go broke.
Yes, Russia is a family oriented Christian country.
I find it an outrage that anybody has to tippy toes around on the subject of Putin with obligatory displays of virtue signalling and grand shows of 'plausible denial' of endorsement. Consider that the United States (CIA/Deep States) has done nothing but pick wars on made up fairy tale pretexts, bullied the world using 'financial inducements and punishments' and styled itself into a planetary terror instrument ... even against its own alleged 'citizens'. There is no 'democracy' in the United States, no rule of law and no liberty. Only enslavement. And yet, Putin is the Cartoon Caricature of Incarnate of Evil ... and we are supposed to swallow that one down whole?
The United States should have embraced Russia with open arms after the fall of the Soviets. But United States could not do so because the United States is a 'government' ruled over by Satanic Monsters. Putin has the respect of the rest of the non-Western world while the United States is rightfully despised and hated around the globe ... and with good reason.
It is truly unfortunate just how accurate your words are, davekb !
When I was a kid in the 1950s Greek and Roman genre films on the TV ... and I really wanted to how civilizations could possibly let themselves go to ruin when they had such a good thing going. I guess, and in retrospect, I should have been more circumspect in my wonderings.
If it gets to be too much, take some time out. Compare these two versions of the same song. Which do you like better ... or even is that a fair question.

A patch of blue sky is always just around the corner. However, the question is now how much pain must be endured? A boat load of Bolshevik or Mao pain? A wheelbarrow of Madame Guillotine Pain? Pol Pot or fall of the Soviets pain? A city under seize pain? It seems there is always a price somewhere to be paid. And what goes around comes around.
While the young lady's rendition is good - I am an ELO fan from way back, and the Jeff Lynne and bandmates' original version is my preference.
As to blue skies ?
Somewhere.
Here's to "what goes around comes around" !
There certainly more heat in the ELO original. And to have to pick one over the other would be a false comparison. What is striking to me is that the two are so different ... and yet the same song.
"more heat".... I like that, lol.
Yeah - her sultry version has its place.
But if you wanna tap ur feat ?
Interesting fact - ELO has the most 'Top 40' hits, in the USA - without EVER grabbing the number 1 spot.
š»
I did not know that. Thanks.
100%. I was going to say the same thing but you already did. I know Jeff is a lawyer so part weasel (jest!) so prone to qualifying words, but regarding Putin he needs to stop with the 'I'm no Putin fan....' qualifier. No need.. it's not 2022. Most people know now Putin is the good guy.
Concur! I'm a retired, certified Cold Warrior, but this isn't the Cold War. Russia is longer communist. I think VVP is aces, and by the way if you think he's a scary loose cannon, get a load of some of the Lindsey Graham type hopefuls wanting to replace him.
Yes, Jeff C., actions indeed speak louder than words & the actions of Putin for his country & the hatred our āleadersā have for theirs is blatant. In addition, anything our demonic administration is against, I am FOR & vice versa.
^^^
Which is why Blinken wants to bomb Russia. Maybe we can get away with a minor incursion. Maybe we can walk into rattlesnake pits and not get bit. Maybe Tulsi Gabbard should be Trumpās running mate.
I fear his welcome if Nikki warmonger Hailey, and am starting to fear the bad advice he may listen to regarding foreign policy and Russia.
Yes!!!
I agree Putin has done a lot for the Russian people. But if you buck him you fall off balconies.
Well you get suicided here. So, thereās that.
There's corruption & balconies in any form of government. We are just more self-righteous. Democracy.
56 and counting of "friends and associates".
And I know personally many people from Russia who left there and came here and would never go back under any circumstances. They lived in very poor conditions and had little food and extremely poor healthcare. Imagine becoming ill and being hospitalized and forced to drink your own bile. I disagree with putting any communist/socialist country on a pedestal. No matter what the situation looks like here (at least for now) I would not want to change spots with the average person in Russia. Just adding a different perspective.
šÆš
And Putin, like Trump, has been strongly vocal against global human trafficking. Two of the most hated leaders on the planet due mostly to false narratives believed by people who donāt research on their own. Powerful anti new world order Christian men who clearly love their countries.
I agree 100%. He dwarfs the clowns in our government. WTP are not those in the swamp. I don't lay claim to anyone in that place, and they do not represent ME. I respect Putin for his restraint under the taunt of idiots who are soon to fall, and fall hard. (Prayer hands)
Very well - said!
I assert the current US administration declared war on its own people from the first day. 17 executive orders on first day, including shutting down domestic energy production (causing initial inflation spiral) and shutting down completion of the border wall. My recollection is hazy beyond that because the gestapo response to the spike protein virus and those who were inside the Capitol overtook everything in my mind. I just remember repeatedly shaking my head, had no inkling how fast and how far our sociopathic overlords would go.
Today an excellent segment in 2nd hour of Bannonās War Room on how lawfare has frightened the bejeezus out of conservative lawyers, thanks in part to Project 65 and other efforts by the left. All of our heroic justices who hew to the Constitution are under attack, and not a peep out of groups like the Federalist Society. Jeff is our fearless hero!!! May more follow his example.
As for Congress: useless. And if we massively demonstrate against the escalation in WW3, we end up in prison without knowing the charges.
Kim Davis
Sister Davis being the Rowan County clerk in 2015 (Northeastern Kentucky) defied the US Supreme Court ruling that legalized same sex marriage. She refused to sign marriage licenses to same-sex couples, citing her religious beliefs.
9 years after she is still in the hurdles of legal challenges by being forced to pay $360 K to the couple she denied marriage license.
The case is being now represented by Liberty Counsel and itās very much to go up to the SOTUS.
Pray for her and the team of lawyers behind her!

This is a good start. I've totally switched on this topic now that I've wised up to the damage it's caused.
Homosexuality is a mental illness and is sexually degenerate. We should no longer support the gay industry. Marriage should only be reserved for normal female/male couples.
Glad I am retired from the military since it has turned into a den of perversion.
It's really a shame it's come to this. I think it really was amped up when Obama started purging the conservatives and replacing with DEI-types. And it's just ramped up from there.
Obama is married to a guy....Big Mike. He definitely introduced the perversion as a precursor to all the other mental illness that would follow. His goal has always been to destroy the U.S. He also purposely fueled all of the racial division. It was all part of a global plan to bring down the U.S.
Obama also merged money designated for mental health with funds for jail diversion programs. This mingles people who should be in jail with those seeking mental health treatments. My friends grandson was at one of these facilities and was beaten so badly by someone who should have been in jail that he sustained permanent brain damage. When we were seeking mental health services for my son he was refused treatment at many places because he was NOT a convicted felon. So sad.
Have you looked at other 1st ladies like Barbara Bush and Eleanor Roosevelt to name a couple? Just because they look like dudes doesn't mean they are, but drag is nothing new.
Heās not being called Big Mike because of his physical looks. Heās called Big Mike because of the pictures with an appendage sticking out between his legs.
Right. It's that thing that keeps popping up too.
Poor Joan Rivers but she liked to run her mouth.
^^^
Just because one is unattractive doesn't automatically make them a member of the other gender. Ugly can just be ugly.
Of course. It was implied... "Just becasuse they look like dudes doesn't mean they are."
Who knows. They do have manly features and I could list a lot for both 1st ladies named.
It's just suspicion, but if we don't look at things carefully and question, we are just following what we are told as our controllers expect us to do... and most of never question.
Kinda like ALL the doctors over covid... It applies to everything.
How can we really blame them when we don't question things ourselves? They just followed their particular cult of medical technocrasy. People aren't the orchestrators but followers in multiple ways. It is mind boggling and for me, I have to constantly reflect on myself and what is right and true and realized there is nothing but Jesus I can count on.
Not All the doctors over COVIDā¦
True not all doctors... IMHO... Do you know of any doctor that told you not to take the jab, didn't force patients to wear masks, or prescribed ivermectin? I don't.
They were compelled to do bad things or lose their license. A few lost their license like that midwife in NY we supported a while back.
I saw some docs speak out like Malone but he has shady history and association with big pharm.
I know several docs. One died suddenly from a heart issue, another from a brain bleed, the other caved and took the jab although he didn't want to. The other docs I encountered followed the narrative.
I did not follow the narrativeā¦.My Ob pts were warned off of the jabs, I jousted with my hospital poobahs. In the end I took a jab to keep working, got a hot lot and a reaction, and when I got COVID, it was disabling. IVM kept me out of hospital. But I agree, many of my colleagues were sheep, and my peds colleagues continue to inject junk into kids, for money.
Watch, closely, the few brief videos of Michelle with *something* swinging behind her dress, just below waist level. Start with Michelle's appearance as a dancer on the Ellen Degenerate TV show: https://youtu.be/sXhJCsw0xC8
There are other videos available on Rumble.
You decide.
Yes that is why I said that thing that keeps popping up... š
He doesn't even tuck.
^^^
It started with Clinton and his hatred for the military.
You are right. I remember the condescension at every time he had to deal with them, even boring a plane or helicopter.
Active duty noticed too.
@Kathleen, I think it started sooner than that. When they dissolved the Women's Army Corp and merged it into the Regular Army. I lived through that experience. It wasn't pretty.
It was much better especially when boot camp was separate from the guys.
So now boot camp is structured like "Scouting America"?
Yes, and it has been for awhile.
wow I can't imagine what that was like. Another reason to be grateful to be old. lol
^^^
"Sneaked in like a shadowy thief in the night" is more appropriate.
I think it's been a den of perversion at least since the 80s.
I would post a link to a youtube video with an ex-wife of a general from the 80s but I fear it will be taken down..... but let me just say... it is a 3 hour interview naming names and giving new meaning to "tail-hook". The degeneracy has been flowing from the top for a very very long time. Ex wives do get a conscience and they talk.... like this lady who gives a play by play of the UN Rio de Janeiro conference in the 90s. complete with the government clearing the streets of the homeless by execution prior to the start of that conference and going from there.

Join the club. I retired USN in 1997, could see it coming. Women bosses who didn't know shitMy nephew got his ranger tab in 2019 and, thankfully, quit. Imagine the $ they had invested in him. He knew, just like I did.
I retired USN in 1999.
After the 1st Persian Gulf War, there was a real purge to get rid of people. The Army was brutal. I had a neighbor who was USN EOD/Diver and while on deployment in the Middle East, he was forced to retire with just a few months notice. Do you realize how much money they spent training him?
Another friend who was a helo pilot, was forced out at 17 years with a reduced retirement. Quite a shock because his son was just starting high school.
See lots of self-identified liberterians saying, "I supported gay marriage but I never supported this..." and "I supported pot legalization but I never expected this would happen..." Same thing with gambling. Lol.
These people gleefully kicked out the moral constraints of society, constraints in place for thousands of years, without any regard or critical thinking regarding the unintended consequences of doing so. It's all so comical and totally predictable. Those constraints were there for good reason, either through hard lessons learned or divine revelation (depending on your perspective). Now they act surprised when things go to hell in a handbasket and society crumbles.
The good news is that those who were taught or learned self-control can be wildly successful in a society filled with hedonists addicted to chasing the next instant gratification (at least until things collapse). Of course it's terrible for society in general, but cream has a great opportunity to rise to the top.
When I was a teenager I didnāt understand why people were warning me not to encourage laws going into place for gay marriage and suchā¦ a slippery slope they said, without explaining to me what they meant or giving me an idea of what that looked like, so I thought they were just being hateful.
I eventually learned what they were concerned about and now see manifesting in such evil ways.
I will not allow people to hurt children. Not one. Not ever.
This is my living amends.
I encourage everyone to have the information and proof to, calmly and with pure motives, explain to any person that asks āwhy notā (as I did) exactly what that slope can look likeā¦
I have done this with success. I often get the same response: āI had no idea people were doing that or even could, now I understandā. š
I had several online and personal conversations where I warned of where the legalization of same sex āmarriageā would lead.
All I heard back (from the short sighted and undiscerning) was ālove is loveā, or āhow is this hurting you?ā, or ā what you are saying (fill in the blank) would never happen!ā , or they just want āequalityā.
Some people live in a fantasy world of what they wish life to be, and they never think beyond it. Those of us who foresaw the looming disaster have been heartsick to see our worst fears coming true. And, it is continuing to get worse every day.
This is exactly why I've come to believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God. Either that or it was composed by the wisest, smartest people that ever lived (and there's little proof of that).
The Bible provides behavioral guardrails for life that are spectacularly successful if followed. People who adhere to them prosper in every way, spiritually, emotionally, physically, financially, and in their relationships. If one follows Biblical morality they really can't help being successful in life, it just happens.
Yet modern society is too sophisticated for that (or so they tell themselves) and think that happiness comes from material possessions and who they fornicate with. Traditions are foolish, and aren't the accumulated wisdom of generations.
Unsurprisingly instead of success they leave a trail of broken people and wrecked lives in their wake.
This stuff is not new and has been known for thousands of years. The consequences of ignoring it have been known for thousands of years. I learned my lessons the hard way but fortunately only needed to do so once (all glory to God). Some people never do though.
Proverbs 2:3-15
Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
And lift up your voice for understanding,
If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
He guards the paths of justice,
And preserves the way of His saints.
Then you will understand righteousness and justice,
Equity and every good path.
When wisdom enters your heart,
And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
Discretion will preserve you;
Understanding will keep you,
To deliver you from the way of evil,
From the man who speaks perverse things,
From those who leave the paths of uprightness
To walk in the ways of darkness;
Who rejoice in doing evil,
And delight in the perversity of the wicked;
Whose ways are crooked,
And who are devious in their paths;
I couldnāt agree more. It seems each generation thinks itās smarter than the ones before. They want to rewrite all the rules to accommodate and justify their own desires. Itās evil perverse, and anti-God.
Clearly, we are seeing the rotten fruit of that now.
Lot and His Daughters
Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. One day the older daughter said to the younger, āOur father is old, and there is no man around here to give us childrenāas is the custom all over the earth. Letās get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.ā
That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
The next day the older daughter said to the younger, āLast night I slept with my father. Letās get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.ā So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went in and slept with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
So both of Lotās daughters became pregnant by their father. The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi ; he is the father of the Ammonites of today.

Sex & Violence in the Bible
https://youtu.be/SY0cniU30zk?si=HnDFjkUbWShF_Tbq
What's your point Bryan? If it's that the Bible contains descriptions of unpleasant activities then that's no surprise to most of us here as we've actually read it. If you are trying to claim that the Bible condones sinful behavior then you are wasting your time. Save it for the biblically illiterate.
The bible appears to condone incest, polygamy, rape, slavery, and genocide.
Wrong, the Bible has stories of people who engage in these activities and it destroys their life. The Bible is explicitly clear all of these are sinful.
After you pass through your libertarian, atheist, rebellion against your parents stage, and have actually grown up some, come back and talk to us. We don't have time for people who cherry-pick out of context passages attempting to show off who have never actually bothered to read the book.
Edit: After rereading what I wrote comes off as really harsh and I didn't mean it that way. I was exactly where you are thirty years ago. If you want to productively argue a specific point where you think the Bible condones evil then go for it. But saying the Bible vaguely "appears to condone" certain evil when it says in no uncertain terms not to do these things is disingenuous. If you want to say it's contradictory in places then you have to consider context to see if it truly is. You cannot persuasively claim stories of people's misbehavior are the same as telling people to do something, particularly when other places in the Bible say don't do it.
You know who the Moabites and Ammonites are in the bible, right? The major rivals of Israel? Yeah, this is basically the ancient equivalent of "your mommas are such wh*res, they even banged their own dad".
Read Leviticus chapter 18. Predates Jesus's birth by centuries.
So well put! šÆ

Agree. Never had any problem with consenting adults doing what ever they wanted with each other. What's changed, and what's wrong, is this deranged jihad to normalize virtually any behavior and lifestyle. Common sense will tell you that if males don't couple with females, humanity ends, so that is normal . I didn't make the rules of Nature.
Common sense is not common anymore, unfortunately.
It never was, BUT there were enough people that would/could follow good advice that it was a small minority that did the bad things!
I think they crossed a clear line when they started targeting kids. I think that will be their downfall. I think most people can handle the less than 1% weirdos/pervs that live in the shadows - just ignore them and laugh about it. Arrest them if they cross the line. That is, so long as they don't try to indoctrinate kids. Well, that line has been crossed and now has left/liberal gov't support behind it.
Drag queens in schools? And the "libertarian" candidate is for this? What world is this? Are they the libertarian party or the libertine party?
What cannot continue will not continue. The more they keep rolling with this attack on the foundation of humanity itself, the bigger the blowback is going to be. Going to be a lot of "conservatives" who stood silent throughout this that find themselves primaried out of their job.
@RU I absolutely agree! Once they came after the kids, pretty much everyone woke up and said "H*LL NO!" Well, except for the AWFULs (Affluent White Female Urban Liberals) and their virtual signaling.
^^^
You say that but there are many things that even consenting adults SHOULD NOT and ARE NOT even by wisdom allowed to do to one another. THERE ARE THINGS that MUST NEVER BE DONE to another. Abuse is abuse even if consented to and homosexually practices ARE PHYSICAL ABUSE!
The very same practices that they hate the opposite sex for they do to one another.... But better. šš¤š£ It's FOR SURE ABUSIVE. Obviously there is heterosexual abuse too and if told they are condemned and tried. There is a wise moral law...we don't like the Law makers.
Jesus is lawmaker and judge. Get to know Him. The 'SUN' IS COMING SOON. Psalm 2
Wonder if there's a rise in colon cancer among homosexuals......
Males not coupled with females is exactly what WHO evil creeps want. Part of the depopulation control.
God did.
God ordained marriage between a male & female. Period. Man usurps God to sanction āmarriageā to any other twosome. Man putting himself above God.
We live in a fallen world bc of a certain angel putting himself above God & his enticing Eve to go against God (& she enticed her husband to do so also).
Today the rebellion against God is rampant & even codified in manmade laws.
Pandoraās Box was opened years ago - tolerance for homosexuality started small & now we see where the inevitable progression has led.
Bible also condemns any man who shall lay with another man.
Amen
Where is marriage defined in the bible?
Genesis2:24
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
How does this define marriage?
Paul writes about marriage throughout his epistles and essays. Research it using one of the Bible websites that allows you to enter a key phrase and search for occurences.
Or just ask your pastor / priest ....
Ephesians 5:22-24
Wives and Husbands
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.
"... and therefore husbands must love their wives as Christ loved the Church, and gave His life for her."
At least read in context.
Not to mention other places where he writes that "the husband's body does not belong to him along, but to his wife" (which was shocking to readers of that era, who thought than men basically "owned" their families).

Matt. 19:
3 Some Pharisees came to him to test [Jesus]. They asked, āIs it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?ā
4 āHavenāt you read,ā he replied, āthat at the beginning the Creator āmade them male and female,ā[a] 5 and said, āFor this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one fleshā? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.ā
Not to mention the trans nonsense. Tell me a person doesn't have mental problems when she tries to give herself a mastectomy! Of course, news articles call this person "he/him."
https://thefederalist.com/2024/05/30/a-woman-frantically-cutting-off-her-own-breasts-proves-we-need-less-gender-affirmation-not-more/
That is so incredibly sad!! I don't understand how the "experts" say that cutting is a mental disorder, but yet when this young woman tries to cut off her breasts, all they scream is "we need more gender affirming care". WTH?! Cutting is still cutting and it's still a mental problem.
Lord have mercy! These people are demonically influenced.
Go figure, right? Turns out Dad had ever reason to lay down the Law on this!
While I agree with you (how could I not agree with Based Florida Man?), I object to the necessity of a 'license' to marry. Given the divorce rates, the license is completely ineffectual anyway.
I heard a statement about marriage licensing: it brings government into the covenant of marriage, making it a three-way relationship. Had not thought of it that way.
This is very true, but I suppose it is progress that they us slaves marry at all. But then again, not really. The amount of control they exert for this privilege that they give us license to exercise is outrageous. They make it fairly easy to enter into this contract with them but nearly impossible to get out of it unscathed.
Did you see that the Episcopal Church is changing it's symbol to be gay friendly?

The best non-judgmental description I once heard (and use myself) is that it is naturally occurring in small numbers, but non-normative (for obvious reasons -- couples can not reproduce).
Is it a disorder? For many I think it is, but for others it can simply be non-normative. In those cases, individuals should be able to lead a happy, safe and acceptable alternative life free from discrimination.
The gay industry has made the Pritzker clan very wealthy. There's serious money in mutilating children to "affirm" their delusions.

You are spot on!
She is my hero.
Pray for her!
Sheās like Daniel in the lions den! Or the youths Sadrach, Mesach and Anednego.
She also based it on the current KY law at the time as they railroaded her to do something illegal before the law was amended.
I wish I could double-like this comment. I wonder still why this argument was not made in her defense.
I'm no lawyer but as one sometimes forced into involuntary servitude to the judicial system, I have some thoughts.
1. She didn't defy a ruling of the supreme court. She wasn't even in the same state to which the ruling applied. The only ones that could defy the ruling were the government of California that made the law.
1a. This was a law by referendum which is the closest thing we have to democracy in this country. That the will of the people can be overturned by a majority of 9 should tell us something.
2. The supreme court doesn't make anything legal or illegal other than the law itself. Many decisions have only resulted in a re-drafting of the law that was found to be unconstitutional. That this law was not tells much about the system and its aims.
3. She broke no law in denying the marriage license. Actually, she was following the law of her state as it was at the time.
4. The "law" that she supposedly broke and was jailed for was made up on the spot by a single judge who served as legislature, executive, and judicial branches.
4a. This is a clear violation by the judge of the constitution which is ironic because SCOTUS rules on the constitutionality of laws. This judge read the opinion of SCOTUS and made his own law which applied only to a single person. Why do we allow this? Is it because we have been deceived into believing that our rights come from the Constitution when the document actually defines roles, responsibilities. and limitations of government entities?
5. She didn't need to cite religious beliefs. She should have just cited the law as it was on the books at the time. Then let the judge explain the reasoning for putting her in jail over... following the law.
5a. It is suspicious that this obvious legal defense was not used. I'm only an occasional juror charged with determining whether a law was broken but the whole thing feels rather contrived.
Oh my word. I literally laughed out loud š¤£
āWhen he was the Prime Minister of Norway, we communicated often, and I am positive he was not suffering from dementia back then.ā - Putin
Itās brutally serious yet you have to somehow find some brevity or youāll go crazy yourself.
Putin has a brilliant sense of dry humour.
I agree! So does Trump, if one actually listens to him speak, not talking heads speak about him. The left has NO sense of humor. It is soo boring.
Maybe part of why Putin and Trump seem to understand each other. (Which IMO is a GOOD thing. They know where each other's red lines are.)
^^^
When you are like totally proud of your own awesomely magnificentl intelligence, you do not need humor.
Different humour, but yes.
The Jeffery Sachs interview on Tucker was illuminating with regard to Putin. I was reminded of the story I read about the North Vietnam leader before the war, who came to Washington to talk with the President about democracy because he was interested in learning about how it worked. He sat outside the Oval Office for a week waiting to talk with the President but was ignored. He left the US disheartened and not long after he met with the Chinese leadership to talk about Communism. The rest as they say is history. US leadership has made devastating mistakes, and fails to learn from past mistakes.
Yes! Think of all the dead because of that, too.
Yes, I do too.
Same one who was working in a Paris restaurant after WW1 ended and tried to wave the US Declaration of Independence under US President Wilson's nose at the Versailles Treaty talks?

Putin is obviously a smart, serious, and articulate guy. We've had Presidents like that.
Also note his (much briefer) speech in honor of Border Guards Day. http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/74127
Brevity, AND levity, lol!
He's had CoVid and various AstraSickenya boosters certainly though, throw that out there Vlad!
It also seemed to me Putin was taking a snipe at Biden.

Good morning.
Here some verses that encouraged me this morning:
Isaiah 29, 19-21
Once more the humble will rejoice in the Lord;
The ruthless will vanish
the mockers will disappear, and all who have an eye for evil will be cut down -
those who with a word make a man out to be guilty, who ensnare the defender in court and with false testimony deprive the innocent of justice.
Just studied Revelations, Daniel, Isaiah, Amos and about to be done with Hosea. (*Onlineā Shepherdās Chapel, Pastor Arnold Murray is the best!) Itās like reading tomorrowās headlines TODAY! The same players are
involved, the same cities, the same stupidity where there ought to be wisdom and leadership, and the same cold, hard truth. As much as Iād miss C&C, and I really
want grandkidsā I can hardly
wait for God to level the
playing field and serve up justice. Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
Oh that is a great one!

A good heading for the story about the driver with the suspended license:

Heās got Florida man beat hands down with this.
Yesterday Jeff brought up the pier to give access to Gaza from the sea, at the cost of over a hundred million bucks.
I'm asking WHY do we need it? Who would stop the US military (or whoever) trucks that would simply drive in to deliver aid?
It was over $300 million and only lasted 10 days. They obviously didnāt spend the money on engineeringā¦. Where did that money go? And while Iām at it, where did the money go for the EV charging stations that cost $1 BILLION a pop? Who is getting the money? Personally, I think itās just a money laundering scheme to further enrich the rich with a goal of gutting our economy til it falls into a pile of debris.
That stuff is mere chump change. Our DOD misplaced two point three trillion dollars as of year 2001, according to that scion of foreign intrigue Donald Rumsfeld.

Daddy Warbucks?
Why does America always have to come to the rescue?
Exactly. But if the mission is to deliver aid, then why build a silly pier, when you can simply drive the aid directly to the site?
Because the Pentagon is full of idiots.
Obama purged most of the normal, intelligent top brass to make room for scum like Milley and Big Mike.
My son, who was going to be a USAF lifer, got out when O started the great purge to "fundamentally change America".
Sad.
Fat Gen. Milley.
And narcissistic bullies
Yes.
Albeit Non-useful idiots. With killer toy like push button missiles.
Yes.
Not if some connected friends or family members received some business contracts to sell ābridgeā parts & supplies.
IDF has a nasty habit of bombing Aid Workers driving in supplies. They don't want aid reaching the Palestinians. Starvation is just one of their methods of genocide.
The civilian/military casualty ratio in this conflict is one point one to one, which is commendably low, according to military historians and analysts.
I'm not sure I fully believe that figure, but even Hamas only claims it at about 2:1, which is still pretty "good" as wars go.
From what I understand, the main road is at Egypt's border [Sinai Peninsula] Possible Israel has bombed areas but Egypt doesn't want all the refugees they then will have to provide for. So the border is closed.
There's multiple access points from land. All are easier to use than spending a third of a billion dollars for a floating pier. The US could snap it's fingers and have access. So who's stopping them?
Egypt
There's multiple access points besides Egypt.
List them please.
This covers them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza%E2%80%93Israel_barrier
Any closed border can be opened, or a new access point created anywhere along the miles of wall, much cheaper than a third of a billion dollar floating pier.
It appears to be a VERY profitable side hustle, no. ??
I am beginning to think that America NEVER comes to the rescue. But instead is always looking for an excuse to loot and line the pockets.
Now if only America could come to the rescue of...America.

Staying out of hospitals will definitely prolong your life.
Yessss......and that data has proven statistical evidence more now than ever. Sigh....
Yup we got trouble, right here in River city......
The irony is the US sends $billions to Israel to mass murder the citizens of Palestine. One wonders if this pier to deliver aid to Gaza was really built to work.
Why are our tax dollars going to arm Israel so they can bombard Palestine,
and also going to aid Palestine because Israel is bombarding them with US munitions?
Because we have schizophrenics in government.
Yes, we do.
Because it benefits those who make the decisions!
320 million to be exact. When did millions spent start to appear as harmless as thousands spent? It boggles the mind! Never have millions seemed like pocket change....until now.
Would love ME some of dat "pocket change".....
It was a FAKE aid plan; "we don't need Egypt, we don't discuss with Israel, we BUILD A PIER for the WORLD to see we can't be stopped!!! We're Democrats who control America and the greatest military in history after all!" The DERANGED, unhinged Hate of the Union Speech put into action for us all to witness they mean business. NPR needs to do a story of how pregnant Palestinians are not receiving the abortion services they need during this time of genocidal razing of GAZA.
"Hate of the Union Speech" LOL
oh, very good one! hate of the union speech!
I will probably steal it!~
Hello! This is all theater. The pier was simply a disposable stage prop. One pier is suppose to supply all the food, water and medical aid needed by millions of Gaza residents who are being continually bombed by the Israeli state guided by their US supplied AI targeting system? This war was planned and coordinated by the USG and Israel so Israel would have the excuse to turn the entirety of the Gaza population into refugees and then fully occupy Gaza as part of Israel. The Biden administration paid Iran billions in "aid" as payment for Iran's proxy organization Hamas to stage a faux terrorist attack while Israel stood down their IDF forces so the attack could produce the appropriate "stage effects" of a successful terrorist attack. It's all theater folks. And now the Biden administration is going to import the Gaza refuges into the US as part of their destabilization plans for America.
And let's be clear. If the USG was sincere about their concerns for the Gaza population, they would simply order Israel to cease their blanket bombing of the Gaza civilians and order Israel to begin humanitarian aid to the population or the USG would cut off all aid to Israel. That's not going to happen for obvious reasons. The USG is in bed with the Israeli government the same way a doddering old man is seduced by a gold-digging harlot!
Finally the correct answer emerges.
Thank you!
Yup! And hurray for Israel and the devil with everyone else.
If a ship is too large to get close enough to shore, it facilitates loading/unloading by pier rather than smaller vessels.
Like all the other military hardware being transported there from the US, none of it needed a floating pier.
Chinook helicopters could do the job.
A third of a billion spent? Why not instead just demand that Israel open the border to relief aid trucks?
Because they would refuse, and then the US would look weak.
Israel would refuse. But also, Israel refusing and the United States not demanding humanitarian relief, this makes quite a statement to the world.
And I am thinking that the rest of the world already know that the United States is a house of cards. Ukraine failure, Afghanistan failure and Middle East failures make this abundantly clear. It's only a matter of time before more shoes fall.
Simple BFM, Those people who are desperate and have "nothing" left to lose.
You know...the own nothing and be happy crowds we have heard about.
They are here and there, and have been for a long time.....Sigh
I suspect it is (or the intent was) as a means for transporting the Palestinians out of their land 'for their safety'. There are many repatriation discussions going on. It's all part of the Greater Israeli Project which Netanyahu talked about in Sept 2023. Clear out Gaza, build beautiful beachfront properties, build the Ben Gurion canal (as an alternative to the Suez canal, so not dependent on Egypt or the Arab world). The native Palestinians stand in their way.
Phil Giraldi reported that the so called pier is literally falling apart. Great use of our money huh? Why doesnāt Israel pay to fix the destroyed Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore since they are such a great ally.
Because trucks canāt drive from America.
What a retarded comment.
America is delivering tons of military crap to Israel, and that's really the problem, isn't it?
Don't.. Acknowledge . It. Ignore it.
LOL
Why say fuckemall and not be delivering anything to anyone. Like the rest of the planet?
Being able to fly directly into Israel where itās a permissive environment helps.
There is no secured area inside Gaza to land expensive cargo planes thus the need to build a sea port.
The two situations are very different.
Why not use Israel's port?
Possibility BUT you still have to drive through Gaza. Did you ever watch Blackhawk down?
Well Biden might propose a bridge across the placid seas of the Atlantic with charging stations next...
Give Bootygig a few billion dollars for that project, and South Park can create the project plan.
Get Mayor Pete on the job.
Pothole Pete, where every excused failure points to systemic racism and Climate Change
If you want it to fail, yes.
He's already mentioned ambitious plans for a railroad track. "We have plans to build a railroad from the Pacific all the way across the Indian Ocean."
yes, that's a great idea along with a Chunnel from Key West to Havana
That would be possible if you ran it through Alaska and the chain of Islands in the oceans around Alaska to Russia but it would be a net negative on profitability.
You don't think Biden's smart enough to figure that out, do you?
Biden? No.
He doesn't have to.
Trump wasn't smart enough to figure it out either but he would be smart enough to know to get people to work for him on the project.
I always tell people I don't know everything, but I do know someone who knows and can get an answer.
Perfect!
I actually agree with your comment.
Two Noodles! This why I call you Two Noodles. It's because you always give soggy answers.
I give logical and fact based answers.
Reminder, yesterday we all got nuked.
This year's October Surprise may well be furnished by Russia. I'm no Putin fan either, but I must admit that his patience with our meddling in the war is quite something. But thanks to the strategic geniuses in the White House, I think that patience will soon end in a bid, scary way.
I agree. šÆ A friendly aside: Please let's all feel free to give praise where due in the political sphere without having to predicate with " I'm not a fan" because I don't think that anybody is a true fan of any leader šÆ%, even Trump. š
Good point. It's a good idea to keep all politicians at arm's length, even the ones who seemingly share our views.
Unfortunately, I think I know some people who are true, 100 percent fans of Trump.
Putin seems to understand that it is never advisable to react in the way that they expect.
LOVE the NYT report on to bomb or not to bomb Russia. āMr. Biden has remained silent as he often does when faced with a major policy decision such as, āCream of Wheat or Quaker Oats this morning?āā
Poking (provoking) the Putin Bear and the Bragg/ Merchan/DOJ/Biden trial in NYC have a common theme. Keep Trump and MAGA from Winning the 2024 Election. If Trump is not derailed with this trial, Plan B (or C or D), is WW3. The Fog of War gives the Biden Regime options to postpone the Election.
Then our "democracy" will mirror Ukraine.
Actually, I am a Putin Fan ... for reason of a well administered and prosperous Russia. Check out Biden and the entire lying NeoCon Establishment, R and D alike, and it is no contest.
Being a Putin's fan you must also be a novichok fan.
Yes, per the earlier comment and thread by Jeff C, I pause whenever I hear the preface "I'm no XXX fan, but ..." The left does that all the time whenever it finds itself agreeing with a person not on 'their' side.
In truth, at this point I am a Putin fan. He and his country have been relentlessly provoked by US/"NATO" for the last 35 years. NATO has expanded, from around 12 countries when the USSR fell in 1991, to over 30 today, after our solid promises we would not advance one inch to the east. We've completed surrounded them on their Ukrainian borders, with troops, special forces, bio labs, etc. They/he has shown amazing restraint under the circumstances. But it can't be expected to last forever.
I do think that Russia has been needlessly provoked by NATO/US, but in my mind that doesn't justify Putin's actions. It amazes me that after Napoleon, WWI, and WWII we thought that Russia would fold like a cheap suit after a few thousand casualties. They're in it for the long haul. Negotiation is the only way out of this.
Seems like he's just watching his enemies destroy themselves, waiting for the right moment to finish them off...
"The awful, terrible, no-good New York Times..."
Need to add "very-bad".
Your description of waiting for the Trump trial to culminate reminds me of birth. I donāt expect a joyful outcome, although I would love to see some heroic juror somehow resist the brutal pressure to convict. Not to trivialize at all but also feels like today is major block on the 2024 Bingo card and weāre all waiting for it to be unveiled.
Prediction: Trump gets convicted, the case gets tortured up to the Supreme Court, the Supremes reverse, and libs hammer that ruling as proof of extreme bias. Proto insurrectionist āAbsalom would say, āOh, that I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has any suit or cause would come to me; then I would give him justiceāā (2 Samuel 15:4).
I'm sort of leaning that way too. They'll get a conviction even though it's ripe for appeal and then all we'll hear from the Biden campaign and the media from now thru election will be "convicted felon Trump". I'll be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong.
Good luck making all that happen before November 2024.
Stranger things are happening.
It's how I felt for the first 3 months. I was always afraid they would fall asleep and not wake up. So I was always checking on them.
Maybe that's unusual?
Not at all! Five kids and both my husband and I still did this even with the 5th. I think itās partly conditioning about SIDS, which isnāt really SIDS just like SADS isnāt really SADS. We didnāt have that risk factor but we still worried. Thanks, medical scare-mongers š
Yeah, we had twins about a month early. Boy I loved those days...but like you said we were scared of SIDS
I don't know what to think about Putin because 98.6% of everything I have been told about him came from the same people who lied about Trump, Covid, Jabs, WMD's and a plethora of other issues.
Putin probably has some issues but they can't be any worse than the issues our elected politicians and their legions of unelected, over paid bureaucrats have.
I'm right there too CC. I see him as an effective leader who's also tough and ruthless. Lombardi with an army, so to speak. The all-powerful leader isn't a model I'd want to live under; but if I did, I can think of many who would be worse to have at the helm.
Openly ruthless rather than Underhandedly so like our team of weasels
My dad wrote a Substack post a couple years ago about his experiences working in Russia. He recalled a conversation he had while walking in St Petersburg, once one of the most dangerous cities in the world, but at that time perfectly safe.
āWhat changed?ā I asked my guide.
āMr. Putin changed things,ā he said.
āAnd how did he do that,ā I asked.
āI donāt know. He is KGB. They know how to do stuff like that.ā
The Russians certainly donāt seem to have a problem with his ruthlessness.
Ahh, you are showing your (our) age when you mention Lombardi, I liked Landry.

As a lifelong Giants fan I still lament the fact that both were allowed to get away while the bumbling Jim Lee Howell remained.
Back in the days when pro football was fun. I haven't watched it since the early '90's.
Best insight would come from people who fled Russia and would never every want to return.
Yāall I have a new thought..... do you think the Democrats know that Biden is going to lose the election so theyāre ruining the economy on purpose to blame it on Trump and republicans? Giving them years of steam for their ideas? Or no, still just doing this to usher in a supranational government?
I am beginning to think the same thing - give Trump such a mess and then blame him starting Jan 22, 2025. The media will lap it up like the good little dogs they are.
If it plays out this way, Trump will have to go in with the biggest chainsaw he can find.
Meille needs to gift him a giant one with fanfare
Yes, exactly! Make it as bad as possible so he has tons of work to do digging out before he can even start to improve things.
And the Dems plus their RINOs & establishment GOP pulling out all stops to thwart Trump at every turn.
" The media will lap it up like the good little dogs they are"
And the general public will lap it up like the stupid, uncaring, vapid fools they are.
Yes.

I'm looking for something a little more Orwellian . . . for these Orwellian times.
1984 was meant to be a warning, not an instruction manual...yet here we are.
They don't care. The Revolution is always first. Always.
If it seems like they're a bunch crazy eyed Ahabs on a maniacal quest for vengeance against The Great Orange Whale...it's because they are.
But even that is subordinate to The Revolution.
The country proved it was majority stupid re the scamdemic so itās certainly possible a majority can be brainwashed into believing all the bad started in January 2025? Weāre doomed
Thatās the whole point of the propaganda arm of the federal government. To control the dopes that watch the television for news. So theyāve been lying for months now how bad the economy isnāt, all they have to do, if trump is allowed to win, is tell the truth. And then it becomes all pdtās fault
Nope. Iām pretty sure the fix is in, and 2000 mules will become 5 million mules. And because there is proof that gap toothed fat black pig from Georgia got away with her end of the hustle, they see no reason to stop. Itās all hands on deck, gear up the printers!
My gut says "they" thought Biden would be another controllable useful idiot, ditto his vp, but trouble is "they" are all either blithering idiots or dumb tools of truly pyschopathic string pullers.
They think they'll win. Or I should say, they are determined to win. Even given the recent Bronx demonstration for Trump, I don't see how Trump is going to win CA or NY, 2 large electoral voting states. He still wasn't ahead in WI last I heard. I've heard the whole election could hinge on a single state like WI or MI or PA. Recent polls have Trump extending his lead in MI and PA. They thought they were going to destroy Trump in the courtroom, didn't work. I predicted months ago their efforts to stay in power would know no bounds. If the results look to be too in favor of Trump by August, watch out. Historically, when at war, people vote to keep the incumbent. I'm just sayin'...
āHistorically, when at war, people vote to keep the incumbent. I'm just sayin'...ā
But THIS incumbent is totally different- obviously in need of home or institutional care. Even a segment of the uninformed masses know this, & that war under his āleadershipā is dire.
Biden (aka Briben) is now working with less than 128 bytes of RAM and can't finish a single sentence without ejecting an indecipherable word salad from his lips. We all know he hasn't made a single decision these past four years except what flavor of ice cream he would like when he finally gets up in the morning. Are madmen running the show? It sure seems like it. The congress is most likely impotent in these matters because the vast majority are benefitting financially from these decisions. They have dual passports and bunkers and are sophisticated "citizens of the world." Well, it's hard for me to look at someone like AOC as "sophisticated," but you get my point. There is no accountability for these people and they seem have all run amok. If anyone thinks they care one iota about anyone but their donors, they are delusional. And they only care about their donors because they offer the intoxicating effects of money and power. What a destructive cycle.
Biden's restore program is stored on 5.25" floppy disks.
šÆ
I'll say it again. We are being led by insane psychopaths who are foaming at the mouth to start World War III. I hate this government right now so badly. Why do they have to destroy everything we love? Why are they so eager to depopulate the planet? Why?
They follow their father, āthe devil.ā

Tucker asks Jeffery Sachs whether the proxy war is "unprovoked", and in the first part of the interview, he explains the remote and recent history, which allows the viewer to conclude that the US/Nato provoked the war. Much thoughtful material here https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1795500379578253729
Excellent and thought provoking interview. It is very long , but worth a listen. EVERYTHING we have been told for at least 60 years has been a lie.
The MIC doesnāt care about innocent lives, only power and money. We are poking the bear and teetering on nuclear war.
60? 600 ,maybe . Maybe forever.
Great interview. I know several C&C commenters recommended this yesterday so I finally started listening. I'm only a 1/3 of the way through, but spellbound by the factual presentation. Well worth the time.
