"You might ask why this strategy isn’t used to resolve every complicated deal. The reason is that it requires a brilliant mediator comparable to a chess grandmaster, who has the creativity and experience to find the incremental plays and opportunities..."

It works now, because Trump is NOT a "politician" at his core. He's a deal-maker. I'm stating the blindingly obvious, but it bears pointing out. NO ONE in our execrable political class is a deal-maker. They are ALL self-serving pols.

I'm hopeful that at least a few on our side are watching closely and learning from Trump that THIS is really how to lead, what it means to be a public servant, how to actually get things done.

Marco, JD in particular, because if they can learn at the master's knee, they can lead America for 16 years after Trump.

I have wished my whole adult life for politicians to actually get back to making deals for the betterment of our country! The last good one I remember is Clinton and Gingrich’s contract for America in 1994 (are my details right? It’s early). When I think about how wonderful our cities and school, etc. could be if our taxes had been well used I want to throw up. We need a new political class.

One of the reasons that we see so few statesmen-like politicians these days is because we have set the table for slimy, used car salesmen types who fool the voters with their carisma and promises in order to get elected to the best job in the country where fame and fortune awaits them if they can just continue to get re-elected which is where their energies are immediately directed rather than to serving the public. Trump and a few others are the exceptions. Term limits is a good start to correcting this problem as well as reform to the financial side of politics that requires billions to "buy" a seat in the house

Yes...term limits! Except that those who don't want term limits are those who would be voting on the matter and they're not going to do that. I just don't think holding elected government office should be a lifelong career. Biden was there for 50 years and did nothing of note except milk the taxpayers. Whatever happened to citizen service in which you serve for awhile and then go home to give others a chance?

I'm also disgusted at what has happened in California, which is now a one party state to such an overwhelming extent that I don't know how we could ever change it. With Newsom's Prop 50 (that he is spending between $200 and $300 million to have a vote on next month), if people are dumb enough to pass it we would probably lose a great many of the few republican congressional representatives we have left at this point. Then it would be very hard for Republicans to ever get a majority in Congress again. Of course, that is Newsom's and the Democrats' goal.

One could coin them as the "Political Class".

Insiders to themselves/their own group/clique.

Once they're on the inside, we, the public who put them there, become the outsiders, the despised, the ignored.

Broken system, absolutely.

Been going on since the beginning of time, absolutely.

Keeping purse strings out of the hands of those in power is a large 'ask'.

Trump, as he tries, still has personal interests in clear focus with family/TrumpRx:

https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/trumprx-deal-congress-must-demand

Per her comment/note:

"If we had an honest Congress, his announcement of the deal would necessitate financial disclosures and an investigation demanding that Trump and Pfizer produce contractual documentation. Of course, everyone in Congress is self dealing, insider trading, and violating laws daily, so no such investigation is likely, not even from the Democrats. They need their kickbacks too!"

And Clinton's took care of the crib as well:

Valerie, there is an additional element operating that has much to do with why you are despairing for positive contracts for our country. It's the existence of a dark web of evil and deceit that has become known, that has existed since Babylonian times (think Molock and Baal), and has deeply infected our country: the "Deep State". It is a web of evil characters that hide in our midst and capitalizes on man's base tendencies of greed and pride and capture them in a web of deceit. The fact that much of our culture denies it's existence speaks to it's power. The absolute deceit we are discovering in the Cov19 pandemic and vax, and in our electios is is what is pulling the cover off and exposing this deep state corruption. But don't give up hope. The Coffee and Covid blog has shown us how much change has happened and how rapidly it has come. God has shown His hand and there are good days ahead!

This ‘Foreign’ aspect Jeff, is very interesting. Supposing I am facing 20 years in Club Fed, what is my logical defense? ‘I did not collude nor receive support from a foreign entity’. If I am being charged as a FOREIGN agent then I would say ‘prove it’. I might admit to damaging Federal property, a relatively minor charge, but deny foreign involvement. I would then be asked ‘from whom did you receive support? Who paid you? Who provided the gas masks, the explosive devices, the money for the signs?’

If I lie then I am liable to further penalties beyond damaging property. So I have to tell the truth. Since almost for certain I would not have received instructions from Boris and Natasha then the investigation moves up the chain very quickly.

If it turns out the guy who gave me the bricks is American, but he was paid by Qatar, then I again am

Liable for foreign involvement. So it would be very rational for me to plea bargain ratting out every local person provided the Foreign Domestic designation is off the table.

The Foreign Designation is such a giant stick the various elementary school teachers fighting Trump should fold instantly.

Fighting a damaging public property charge is not a huge deal. (Unless you are a J6er). Fighting being a foreign agent, is a huge deal.

The only ballots worth counting at the ones cast for Trump or for Harris. The other ones are useless, pointless, meaningless.

Comparing Trump to Harris, Trump win > 50% of the ballots cast.

And when you remove the two outlier states with the largest margin of votes for each - CA for Harris, TX for Trump - Trump beat Harris by > 4M votes in the other 48 states combined.

California skews the numbers to the point that comparisons are almost meaningless. That's why I remove the two biggest margin spreads: because we're not the United State of California.

And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood and was praying this to himself: ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’ I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

However Jesus stated that "we" could do even greater things than He

Wonder how that fits in?

I believe you are referring to John 14:12:

“Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father”

My interpretation of this passage is NOT that mankind could do greater miracles than Jesus like walking on water or raising the dead. My belief is the passage refers that the works of Jesus’ followers would be greater in EXTENT. Meaning, Jesus’ earthly ministry had been limited to Galilee and Judea. His disciples, however, were going to extend His ministry all over the earth.

In the Catholic Church, "Confession" is one of the 7 Sacraments, and least understood. I would suggest to you that the faithful - practicing confession on a weekly basis over the last 2,000 years - changed the world from one built solely on 'king of the mountain' precepts to one that is built also on forgiveness, absolution and grace. Are you familiar with the Nicene Creed, adopted in 325 and 381 AD? This Creed was (in part) the result of schism in the Church where early Christians (mostly in Carthage) held up that its clergy had to be as pure and sinless as Jesus Christ. While the other camp viewed this as an impossibility. Do you really keep the 10 Commandments? The very first one humanity struggles with on the daily, as there are so many temporal idols (money, power, fame) that the human heart seems to crave over our God.

Yes, I am familiar with the creeds of the Catholic/Christian church and with the teachings of men that encourage people to remain at the foot of the cross for the remainder of their physical lives. Hence you have your sacrament of confession, which upon true repentance becomes absolutely unnecessary. And yes, I do keep the 10 Commandments, and again I’d say that keeping them is easy once one has repented and began to follow Jesus and become just like Jesus.

… and keeping the first commandment is actually the easiest one of them all

Good timing with this verse, once again!

I found myself witnessing (without ANY intent to,) to a man from the UK last night and the night before (in all places within the game of Minecraft - 🤣 I’ve shared before how I’ve been a computer programmer and gamer since the 80s … so I still play games even as an old lady LOL,) and he had the MOST wonderful questions and “but…”s that are common among true seekers who don’t yet believe but are trying to discern truth between the doubt the secular world plants and what the Christian faith teaches. It was a juicy conversation and I enjoyed it. This verse speaks DIRECTLY to his assertion that there cannot be a loving God if someone goes to hell who lives their entire life doing good, being loving and charitable and law abiding and living their life free of sin and evil just like the Bible teaches, but did not believe in God or Christ. He asked why a person like that would be condemned to hell. Of course I explained how he is judging God’s goodness on a pure hypothetical situation that does NOT exist anywhere in our world so it is an unfair judgement, BUT an understandable one for someone that doesn’t know God and His word personally, because none of us is without sin or capable of consistently living such a life without the help of the Holy Spirit, period. But this verse ALSO speaks to that argument. It points to how someone is seeing themselves to be without sin and more worthy than others. I’m sure he would argue that his hypothetical person doesn’t see themselves that way but others around them would. His mother died a year ago and was a really good person in every way so he may be a bit conflicted imagining she would miss out on heaven. Once we got away from the “hypothetical” argument I discovered she actually believed in God, and prayed for him constantly. So even his own concerns don’t match his hypothetical. His mother DID choose God.

Anyway, I love having an additional verse to share that I might not have thought of that speaks to his concerns of good people missing out on eternity.

“He overturned the tables of the money changers”

The role of money changers was significant in the context of the Jewish Temple. Pilgrims from various regions came to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices, and they needed to exchange their local currencies for the Tyrian shekel, the only currency accepted for the Temple tax. The money changers provided this service, but the practice became corrupt over time, with exorbitant fees and exploitation of the pilgrims.

Matthew 21:12-17

Jesus at the Temple

12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves.

13 “It is written,” he said to them, “ ‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’ but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’ ”

14 The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.

15 But when the chief priests and the teachers of the law saw the wonderful things he did and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” they were indignant.

16 “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him. “Yes,” replied Jesus, “have you never read, “ ‘From the lips of children and infants you, Lord, have called forth your praise’ ?”

Flipping the tables was not about taxes or about doing commerce in the courtyard of the temple. It was about the market of the money exchange. We have money exchanges today in the market. They did then. And the banker was effing the people just like he is today on the money exchange. They had to have the shekel in order to contribute to the temple , so the banker was selling Shekels to these people, and he was robbing them when he did it because the exchange rate was not right. That’s the reason why he said that they had turned it into a den of robbers.

You're absolutely correct. I should have been more explicit in stating all the Dems voted for him and there are still more Dems in CA although the margin is closing as of the 2024 election. In the recent recall election, there was so much open opposition to Newsom that I thought he would surely be unseated, yet he appeared to win handily, so I don't in the least bit trust how voting is run in CA. After they went to mailed ballots, anything goes. And I just heard a discussion on a local conservative radio station about how in the rural areas of CA (hugely dominated by R voters), if your ballot gets MAILED close to the deadline, what voters in these areas don't realize is that the ballots aren't time stamped in the local rural post offices. Rather, they are collected and sent to larger regional P.O. centers and could very well get time stamped after the voting deadline. The radio host suggested that if you want to mail the ballot, take it inside and ask them to hand stamp it. Or be sure to mail it very very early.

I used to really enjoy this stack until it became a sycophantic cult worshipping place where the dear leader can do no wrong. Everything he does like Warp Speed and his magnificent shots are GREAT! To read the other day that this billionaire is the greatest peace maker of all time..😂 How many of you know we've been dropping bombs on Somalia. Like 86 fn times since hes been in.. What I'm attempting to point out is you better wake the hell up because all this cheering on war fighters in our streets means they will be coming for you next, when you allow it. If you don't think what we're doing to Gaza can't happen here... I've got another magnificent shot from the dear leader to sell you.

This doesn’t change the fact that you will NEVER get ANYONE to consider your words, even the ones that hold truth, when you start out by insulting them. You’re as much of a problem to our present situation as the next guy and can’t even see it. You can’t even leave room for the possibility of being wrong. You don’t want a discussion, you want to force feed your absolutes. 🙄 Maybe that works on real sheep, but not us. I refuse to consider your points of view as they are not coming from a person that first shows respect to those listening, or good character. That has to come first before people find common ground.

If you think that makes me a sheep then all I can say is, “baaaaa”

All good points! Don't disagree that words can come off as being disrespectful. We are on a blog and know nothing of one another. To say that I don't leave room for being wrong is to not know me. I want people to debate or prove to me Im wrong. But what typically happens is low informed, non-critical thinking folks just parrot their inherent bias information. Which is most times the pure propaganda that has been spoon fed to them. I know we are ALL biased, been scientifically proven. It takes 💯 of your brain to check these biases, to ensure the information you are digesting can and is accurate. This blog doesn't do that anymore! It has become a parrot for the dear leader and his mafia. It's upsetting because it was soooo good through Covid! I have recommended to more people than I can count. I have an amazing career which puts me in front of different walks of life everyday. And I truly love people and their stories which help me grow as a person. My emotions do come through with my disappointment of the folks who I thought were like minded, just completely lose all sense of reality when "their" guy got in. I mean today..Saying its 5D chess that gold and silver are going through the roof...I mean i want to believe that Trump is benevolent but his ACTIONS PROVE otherwise. Gold and silver are going through the roof because of our unsustainable debt and the BRICS. The BRICS are trading in their own currency attempting and getting closer to taking the dollar away feom reserve status...Venezuela is part of that.. HMMM wonder if that has anything to do with the peace president dropping bombs on "drug runners". I've been awake since a R administration fooled an estimated 90% of folks that 2 airplanes filled with JP5 or kerosene brought down 3 buildings...I always start there..If you cannot think or comprehend that something impossible to happen, happened, because the benevolent government told us so, than I just cannot help you see because you are blind. I learned about cognitive dissonance and it truly is why the cult cannot see through this fraud billionaire actor.

Apologies about the name calling and my emotions coming through. Truly believe we have way more in common than not. It's unfortunate though that you "refuse to consider" someones point because it doesn't fit into your box of morality 🤷‍♂️ many blessings!! My hope is that people will start waking up to how evil our government is, no matter who is leading it. We are destroying what this country was founded upon from within, through always cheering for our guys malfeasance against the others... it always has and always will be the oligarchy verses the rest of us...

Time will tell…

“You sycophants are blind cognitive dissonance sheep” - those who resort to name calling have no real argument

“Remember any power you bestow to "your" guy can and will be turned against you in short order.” - Confronting and dismantling a terrorist organization is hardly bestowing a new power. Remember when Biden tried to classify Moms and Christians as terrorist organizations? Did you protest then?

“Never cheer for power bestowed and taken away from the people. It NEVER comes back.” - No one is taking power away from the people. In fact, this administration is giving it back. Returning the power to enforce the Rule of Law, which is embedded in our Constitution.

“I laugh at you sheep that belong in this cult.” See point #1. Also, he who laughs last…

They have survived to fight the next battle. Even if Hamas as an org is dismantled, what about all the fighters? All their backers?

And don't forget that Islam is an evil, bloodthirsty cult of death! Gotta keep one eye on those facts! I read somewhere this morning that Trump or President Vance should, in front of a joint session of Congress, read the Koran. Tell the world what it says about co-existing with infidels (us!). Then ask every "peaceful Muslim" to denounce those parts of the Koran. Demand that they "grow" like other religions have.

Our country is in dire straits and we citizens get more worked up over events half a world away than we do over events here at home. I try to ignore the distractions the elites construct to keep our focus off what's really important.

Talk about rewarding Hamas -- I've heard that part of this "deal" requires Israel to free nearly 2,000 terrorists currently in prison. Why? So they can continue to murder Jews? Like what happened when Israel released over 1,000 terrorists in exchange for 1 hostage (the Shalit deal). Most of them --some 86% IIRC -- returned to active terrorism. One of those released was Yahya Sinwar. Does that name ring a bell? He went on to plan the October 7 attack.

Everyone Israel holds or kills is a "terrorist" (despite huge numbers held without due process and wanton slaughter in Gaza) and everyone held by Israel's enemies is a hostage. These word games don't work anymore.

As a law maker, Ms Porter,you have so failed your constituents that 12 year olds live in fear of being raped. And as a law maker you either fail to understand that reversing Dobbs returned the decision to the States and you know that California is an "abortion sanctuary state".... and that Californians will NEVER be without their precious sacrament of murder, or you are a complete moron. So, propagating that lie has affected your own daughter's emotional well-being to the point of histrionics, just to fan the flames of madness with the libtard voters and garner votes to keep you in pursuit of ever greater power.

When the kid was 9, she thought the earth was going to burn up. Says Katie on TV.

She made that story up. Dems often write phony narratives for shock value

Here is Katie with former Sec. Grantham [another idiot] talking about EV's. She treats her staff well. Thankfully the staff was able to correct her false info. LOL.

The chickens have come home to roost for Antifa, and it is about time. Shout out to Andy Ngo, he has been a solid day 1 in this fight.

It is over for these Latte-Drinking, Blue Hair-Wearing, Granola-Eating Dudes

And you know they just hate Trump even more now, and if he isn't awarded the Nobel Peace prize for his efforts, it will only prove that TDS is super-duper-loop-t-looper VIRILANT

Her red-pilling has been interesting to follow. The "purity test" that The Left engaged in has had some interesting repercussions. Several powerful "conservative" voices aren't (or weren't) really conservative, just reasonable people in search of truth. Jordan Peterson would likely still be teaching if it were not for speech codes at his university. Joe Rogan would still be popular but not as powerful if they hadn't tried to cancel him. These are just two examples.

Don't underestimate the red/black-pilled leftists. Not everyone got themselves vaxxed.

Yes, Joe Rogan is entertaining... and subversive. He's a doper and a pothead... a soyboy setting the worst kind of example as a "man".

Tell us more about Rogan, Phil. Why do you refer to him as a soy boy?

And what kind of example is he setting as a man?

… I’m not arguing with you, and I don’t listen much to Joe Rogan, but I’d like to know more about what you said

One of the main weapons being used against America is the proliferation of drugs being pushed upon young people. Joe sits on his podcast offering an entertaining smorgasbord of interviews all while smoking dope and eating mushrooms. "Follow my example and become enlightened!" He even had Musk doing this on-air. Drugs attack men. And this is one of the primary weapons being used by China and others to corrupt this country and make us susceptible and weak. He is a Pied Piper. Young American men are being emasculated. This is hand-in-glove with the mass alien invasion.

Do you know if he is a proponent of all illegal drugs, for example, cocaine, opium, fentanyl, heroin, or is he just in favor of M&Ms.

… that is marijuana and mushrooms

All "recreational" drugs. Funny how that word makes the drugging of our youth "OK".

I watched with great interest her walk away from a very successful career in local news, because she just couldn't muzzle herself anymore. She's fearless.

Where was this successful career in CA? It must have been very difficult to watch her deliver the news.

No, in Seattle. She was a very well paid reporter on KCPQ-TV Fox 13 in Seattle for about 7 years. She was great, and considered to be moderate (anything not hard left in Seattle is "moderate") but clearly leaned more toward conservative than is acceptable here. She finally had enough and went independent; the best ones do. Now has her own podcast "(Un)Divided," probably because her weekly commentary piece on Fox was called "The Divide."
