In which we search the fallout from Tuesday's elections for hopeful lessons; and a 1981 classic Kurt Russell movie returns with a bang of new relevance.
Exactly the quote that came to my mind when I read Mamdani's comment! Boy, are we in trouble when people can read such comments and not fear the authoritarianism behind them.
Well, I identify with America First, and I hope Democrats continue to campaign in the future on ‘affordability’. I hope the GOP does too and I think they will (see JD Vance comments yesterday).
The median age of first time home buyers is now 40. In 2021 it was 33, way back in 1981, 29 years of age. Things have gone off the rails this past 1/2 decade when it comes to home ownership among our youth.
It’s not expensive avocado toast. It’s expensive homes. Just say that famous James Carville catchphrase in your head. And if you still can’t feel the vibe, get out and speak to some people younger than you?
You want to see more charlatans like Mamdani sprout up around other parts of the country? If 1st time home ownership hovers at age 40 or even goes higher then strap yourself in.
Lowering interest rates is first step to address this (thank you, DJT). Stripping out urban growth boundaries in high employment municipalities (which prevent sprawl but artificially boost home prices) should be next.
Then, consider the more controversial steps of curbing or banning Airbnb (and private equity) from the single-family home market.
Let’s applaud whoever Makes America Great Again in this regard, no matter if it’s donkey or elephant, and it’s done in a capitalist way.
You are absolutely right about it being about the price of houses and not avocado toast. As an anecdote, when my father retired from teaching my parents also sold our family home. At the time (late 90s) the home sold for about $40,000 and my father was making $40,000 at the end of his teaching career. That same house today is selling for $450,000. So, all things being equal, top teacher pay should be $450,000 to keep pace with housing prices. It's not even close!
The Dems have systematically caused the consolidation of business into corporations running out small businesses, independent physicians and family owned farms with taxes, regulations and high interest rates. These corporations keep prices high because there’s basically no competition. The land grabs for “preservation” have stopped industry and expansion of homes.
Florida should pass a law requiring a 5-year waiting period before being allowed to vote after moving from a blue state. Maybe 10 years for people coming from New York. And a critical thinking test at the end of the waiting period.
For starters, Israel's intel keeps us safer than any other one of our neighbors or "friends"...
You should also ask HOW MANY in Congress have been in bed with the Chinese & Qataries for the last 50 years....AND what has been the benefit to us, except to turn our university students into treasonous communists
"For starters, Israel's intel keeps us safer than any other" - we saw how that worked for the USA on 911.
Research how much US military secret's have been stolen from US by Israel. Their control influence of US telecommunications data, and backdoor computer chip tech and blackmailing US Congress critters and more- think Epstine et al.
Communism is 'dance partner' of Christian Zionism and they both controlled by interests not friendly to the American citizens wellbeing.
Look at Clinton/Obama - Pakastani Blackberry scandal in Congress exposed by George Web.
Some DUAL citizenships are not choices, but just how other countries see their own born citizens... I have DUAL citizenship also, and no one who knows me would dare question my allegiance to the USA
Indeed. The 'invisible hand' is a transnational conglomerate working in the shadows with allegiance to their own cult and not the Nation state they may reside in.
Mr. President, Congress, if you're listening, it's time to start calling the other side, "Depend-ocrats" and never let the old moniker pass through your lips again because it turns out that it isn't democracy they want to protect but it's socialism/communism/Marxism that they want to advance which, as we all know means creating dependent masses and a small class of Elites who live above the squalor they've created.
CNN pundits - flashing their typical disasterously out of tune sensibilities - say that Republicans are painting him as a Boogeyman and all this socialist talk is greatly exaggerated...........HE says he's a socialist, dimwits!
It’s interesting how wordplay/warfare is really going on. Socialist, Marxist, they all equal communist and yes, communist and socialist and Marxist is a dirty word in my book.
Democratic Socialism is an oxymoron. There is nothing democratic about Socialism. The Republicans and DJT should repeat this until it is embedded in media brains.
I would say that most, if not all, political parties that call themselves “Democratic” have socialist or communist background, leanings or goals. The link below to Wikipedia (yeah, leftist leanings)
“This article is about socialism emphasising democracy. For the form of democracy emphasising socialism, see Socialist democracy. For the ideology focusing on the gradual transition to socialism by democratic processes, see Social democracy.
Democratic socialism is a socialist[1] economic and political philosophy that supports political democracy and some form of a socially owned economy,[2] with a particular emphasis on economic democracy, workplace democracy, and workers' self-management[3] within a market socialist, decentralised planned, or democratic centrally planned socialist economy.[4]”
And Florida does not want all these NYers. All they do is pollute the atmosphere there. There are how many states between NYC and Florida? Pick one of those NY elites, we are sick of you and your ilk. You are not welcome in Florida.
Floridians had better beware. Look what the influx of Californians has done to Colorado. I would guess New Yorkers would have an even more malign effect on a Southern state.
They did the same thing to Nashville. Left California & brought their political ideology with them. On top of that, because they paid with cash, the cost of housing went through the roof. They don’t assimilate, just like certain immigrants.
And Washington State! Starting in 1987, selling NorCal homes and paying cash in King County, driving up prices and property taxes pronto. Ironically that’s the year I “temporarily” moved to CA, it was still somewhat sane.
We talk every day about the cost-benefit of staying/leaving. No bugs, great weather, food can be grown year-around. But the communist policies are crushing.
I thought it was Southern CA lefties that mainly left for Washington...and also Oregon. I'm in Northern California and with the exception of the coastal sickbed of San Francisco, many of us are sane conservatives and we would like to separate ourselves from the Southern California lunatics. San Francisco and probably now Sacramento can stay with the south state.
Idaho is headed that way. It is a non-stop fight now. The mayor of Boise is from Boston...she is a liberal wench. Am I the only one who thinks someone running for office needs to be American born? Not just the President?
And some infested Idaho and took their sick politics with them. My sister lives near Boise, and she has seen more than a few signs that say "Go Home Californians".
I think your sister and I could be friends. There are good ones, of course. But it is the Californains who are used to their perks with none of the hard work who want their Hindu prayers before city council meetings. Us saying nothing is not helping.
When I was transferred (you have to be careful how you use that word these days) to Ocala in '84, I frequently saw bumper stickers, "Leaving Florida? Please take a developer with you".
Seriously. Go back to where you came from. Just GO!!(not you Nikki) If they hated it, why are they trying to turn their new place into their old place?? UGH
Somehow they always manage to work into every conversation (even at the drive-thru) that they're "originally from CA." As a third-generation Arizonan, it exhausts me.
Parts of it definitely are. The lefties replicate like roaches. But there are 38% registered Rs in this state, with strong pockets of us in a number of counties, especially in the north part of the state. We can mostly pretend the liberal nut jobs don't exist where I live, but of course we can't escape their crazy liberal policies that affect everyone.
I see many Texas cars on I75 everyday on my commute into the university. I figure some are evacuating the state? My mental image of Texas is witty, slow talk'in, a little Tex-Mex but my idea of freedom. I've tried to encourage my sons to at least look at Texas.
I lived in Seattle in 1969-70 and my in-laws lived in both Washington and Oregon then. Both states were beautiful and wonderful and SANE at that time. Californians from mostly the south state came in droves and ruined them both. For reasons I can't explain, these people never connect the dots with their politics and the mess said politics created, and when they move to escape that mess they don't ever seem to change their politics in their nice new home.
Ouch. I moved here from New York in 2001. It’s a huge state with a lot of different kinds of people. I admit that their voting choices are terrible, particularly in NYC. Just remember that many of the people who leave the state are going to be people who are disgusted with the policies of today’s Democrat party. The pro-socialist and woke crowd are not the ones moving en mass to Florida. They associate Florida with Trump and DeSantis, who they hate almost as much . It’s going to be pro capitalist, people disgusted with crime and government infringement, and cops and firemen, etc.
Boise is BLUE due to the CA influx of the last 10 years. Even before the pandemic, dems moved to Boise in droves and now Boise, ID is suffering for it. Four years ago they had a run off for mayor- both of them were dems. You need a microscope to find any republican on the city council. We all suffered from the liberal covid policies because of these blue voters in Boise.
The ones that moved during the pandemic were largely more conservatives, but they still brought plenty of blue voters with them. Nearly all of the farm land around me are only growing one crop- dense housing and they are priced for the California market. Local working people can not afford Idaho any more.
I was shocked to see a U.S map showing all the counties that voted Red in the last election. It was almost the entire country in red. The blue area were the big metropolitan cities, and big coastal cities west and east. The population of these blue areas is so big compared to other areas that they swing elections.
Coeur dAlene too,you should see what they elected for mayor. He ran as a Republican. Dan Gookin. Has a rant on X that I can't believe wasn't pasted every where in town before the election 💔💔
FACT. Covid changed demographics and not for the better. I am 2 hours away from Boise and have to go there sometimes. Just Bleck. It grosses me out to even go there anymore. Land around here is crazy expensive and our kids can't afford to buy anything here when they want to come home.
Actually, no, there are a lot of woke that do come and stay in Miami area which is true blue. And yes, NY has all kinds, thats for sure. I lived there for a bit and could not wait to get the hell out. Freak zone central. No more NYers wanted.
As a Floridian, I would normally tend to agree with you. We had a massive influx of "escapees" (the dark days of covid hysteria) a few years ago and as a result gained a significant amount of red voters. We're not only red, we're deep red. That could change, of course. I remain cautiously optimistic....still sleeping with one eye open after glimpsing yet another license plate from the northeast 🫣. The population has notoriously short memories.
Unfortunately I live in a purple city. Gainesville is demoncrat, the incorporated areas are conservative. I think there is more conservative than demented, but we aren’t allowed to vote in the city. They have been demoncrat for over 40 yrs 🤯😢
We're here too! All of my life, minus 1 yr for hubby's fellowship. It has forever been deep blue! If we could move, we would. I just cannot imagine leaving our church and our grandson. We put up with it. If you look at the Florida map the blue of Miami has grown smaller. Alachua county remains a blue blob. Gasden county in the panhandle is also blue. That's it, every other area shows red... I do believe Hillsborough county has too many blue voters but apparently not enough to color it purple or blue.
I moved here from Maine, albeit many years ago. In terms of politics, things don't get more idiotic than the goings on in the Pine Tree State…Vacationland 🙄 There's always a chance someone will come here as bonafide escapee regardless of their locaton. If I remember correctly, didn't certain south east urban regions of Florida flip to red? That was probably because of the Hispanic vote, but my memory fails me.
either way, there should be an import tax set on them to move here to help out Florida's economy. anyone that comes from the north has some kind of liberal mindset, even if it is just one idea.
I want to remind all of you harping on Californians.... many, many of those Californians are not natives and are returning to whence they came. GA, MA and the upper Midwest were way out in front with the propagandation of education and the revolting sex Ed of elementary kids. WA has had the most vile curriculum.. based on the UN's.
CA is a handy scapegoat, but look in the mirror, look around, be honest and get to work. It's all local local local. Be especially on guard against sharia law acceptance and the accommodation of Muslim beliefs. It is not compatible with America or with Christianity. Prepare on your knees, fight with the Sword.
I worked as a female teacher in the Middle East for over 10 years....two in Iran leading up to the revolution and overthrow of the Shah of 1979, followed by 8 years in a university in Saudi Arabia. I taught and knew hundreds of Muslims, and I can say a great many of my students, if not most of them, were sweet and lovely people. But their religion was not lovely. I got first hand, ongoing, long term experience of the rot that Islam produces, and the sickness of Muslim thought and culture, and I can say this: I don't want them here imposing their twisted beliefs and radical Sharia law on us in the U.S.
With astonishment, I just heard some idiot woman shrieking with joy about Mamdani's election, and she actually said "Now we can have Sharia law." Boy oh boy, is that ever a mindless twit to say that, actually advocating for her own oppression. She would not last an hour under Sharia law, but she's too ignorant to understand what it really stands for and what it would mean for her and her freedoms.
I read the book, ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’, several years ago. It still haunts me with the graphic depiction of those women living under the brutality of sharia law. 🙏🏻
True. After Reagan it went continually downhill and since it is now a supermajority blue state and R's have virtually no representation or ability to influence a single thing, it will continue its downward slide. It's almost at the bottom now.
🤔 Hmmm. Really? Is that why, my Mother, a school teacher, was forced to teach the shit Kommifornia exported to the Midwest in the late 60s, very early 70s? Because it was the Midwest that invented the ignorant tripe that Kommifornia demanded the entire country change to their way of teaching? Fascinating.
yes but I know I will make their lives miserable when I see their license plates and find out they are neighbors. I know many that are planning to do the same. Give them no peace or rest. I look forward to it. Make them rue the day they moved here.
I understand how you feel, I’m certain I would be tempted to fear blue fleeing their own voting ramifications, but judging someone solely based off their license plate isn’t going to do anything positive for society. I’m a conservative Christian, deep red, and lived in Seattle for over 20 years. If I fled to red and was instantly hated bc of the plate on my car, I would realize that the red party is just as hateful as the blue. I would be deeply disappointed that my own people rejected me without a single conversation, which is what we say is so lacking in today’s world. It’s disappointing to read this constant venom.
Good luck with that - they're moneyed and caustic and brash!!! They influxed into PA back in the 1970's and 1980's because of the trashing of the system in NYC (that Guiliani healed when he was in office) and our housing prices escalated and the 'culture' changed gradually. They are LEGAL CITIZENS - but they're New Yorkers who weren't 'faithful' to The City. They're pushy and aggressively interested in THEIR AGENDA - not the one that the 'intrinsic citizens' have cultivated over DECADES.
Yes, NYers are one of the worst. We won't need luck. If you have the knowledge and know how and a set plan, you can make them so miserable they move. Fear removes brash and caustic real quick.
Mass-holes moved to southern NH in droves to avoid mass taxes, and then voted for all the same sh!t that caused their taxes to rise in Mass! WTF?!? Don’t Libs ever learn?!?!? They ruined southern NH!
No they don’t learn, they seem to have an genetic impairment in their brain. And that is to repeat over and over the same thing and to expect a different answer.
It reminds me of the time I had a spider living outside my front door. It was HUGE. I didn't want it there since I was kinda arachnophobic. I got a can of bug killer and sprayed it. Turns out......it was huge with babies on it's back. OMG!!!! They scattered like a nuclear blast! I'm sure they all stuck around and multiplied. Sound familiar?
My son is an entomologist, so I learned as far back as his childhood to view spiders and other insects with curiosity and interest. If you can see all these little critters up close via macro photography, they are truly fascinating! If I find something unwanted in my house, I try to catch it and release it to the outside.
Back in the day, I was in a technical job at a tv station in a top ten market.
I saw the bias on display; not daily, but it was there, and, at times, it was really obvious.
BTW... there were fewer than a handful of conservatives that I knew about there. If your co-workers found out you were not liberal, they got confused, and looked at you like you were some sort of mental defective.
that was probably back when it was just implicit bias based on who goes into media, now they are nothing more than the paid mouthpiece of the DNC imo. Liberals are always surprised to find that other people can have different views.
In education, the bias was (and I’m sure still is) openly on display constantly. They just assumed that if you were permitted to be there, you must be one of them.
They didn’t think about those who had been spared the leftist litmus test because they filled critical shortage area jobs, the ones that weren’t easy to get certified for.
It’s not going to be “we need a bigger boat” (early Spielberg). If this goof-ball can actually make his dreams come true, it’s going to be “we need a bigger truck / trailer.”
Look at who are the "leaders" of the DNC... Martini Pelosi and Burgermeister Meisterburger Schumer.
One is an opportunistic alcoholic with a horror house plastic surgery addiction and the other is the equivalent of excised and desiccated foreskin.
Now go look at Tic Tok and Facebook (aka the low/non informed voting class) and you will understand why Horse face AOC and the Islamist Mamdani are relevant when at any other time in US history neither would even be cleaning the DNC toilets or emptying demented Lunch Box Joe's bedpan.
Communism is the threat. Not the DNC. The DNC does not evolve into fascism; communism does.
More specifically, the low/non informed Gen Z and later generational voters represent both the cause of and cure for the forthcoming rise in USA based communism....and fascism.
Communism is the political whore who promises you the best time of your life, uses you for its needs and leaves you with the untreatable politically transmitted disease known as fascism.
**No concern too small** means they are checking out what you have in your bathrobe pockets when the bathrobe is hanging behind the door.. Think control.
Perfectly captures the great divide among voters. One side finds that statement comforting, the other finds it terrifying.
I would guess that those who find in comforting know very little of the history of the U.S. and esp the history and arguments that brought forth the country and our Constitution.
that is truly frightening. But it makes sense. The Enlightenment got rid of God believing humans alone could fix every problem. Since the Garden of Eden, we've never learned our lesson.
Here are a few POSITIVE aspects (if viewed from a certain perspective) of Mamdani’s incipient mayorship of NYC:
To the extent his policies will be really “socialist” or “radical” they will almost surely be impeded if not totally derailed by that darn old opponent, Reality.
Mamdani – probably – will be the best free advertising the Republicans have obtained in a very long time.
Exactly what I am hoping will happen. I have a feeling he will not be able to get much of anything done. He seems to have very little grasp of the areas of city government over which the mayor has control. Policing, or lack thereof, may be the hardest hit. Sometimes people have to touch the hot stove and get burned…
Wow! That IS great. It's so dignity-robbing of the individual just like the banners that waved at this very time 49 years ago (1976) on the streets of Moscow, "Back ihe USSR". I was an exchange student there on a program for Russian Language majors from various campuses of ... wait for it... the STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK. It was October Revolution Celebration time (official holiday - Nov 7) More than the usual propaganda banners (huge ones!) were omnipresent. Claiming "The Party is the mind of the people!!!" "The Government is Your Soul and Inspiration!!" "Lenin Lived, Lenin Lives! Lenin will live!!" Glory to The State!" All up in your grill! Dehumanizing, mind-mumbing drivel to stifle one's soul and dishearten. That's what's in store for New Yorkers. Yikes!
Thank you so much. It's refreshing to read solid fact and some funny stuff thrown in. Your a true patriot. I'm originally from NY but left many years ago. How did it come to this🤔 is beyond me. Anyway, thanks again. Your a blessing.
The Zohrantifada is the end result of decades of demoralization in nyc. I watched it decay after comrade de blasio took over. We are all snake plissken in escape from New York now: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/escapefromnewyork
Take a step back. What we are witnessing in NYC is a microcosm of what is happening to the entire nation. We are incompatible and cracks are opening at the seams. Check out this analysis: ...............................................................................................
This Is What the Shutdown Is Really About
....“Why? Because without the fraud in the vote system, LA County is a red county. It’s a Republican County. It’s only through the various types of fraud that you get Karen Bass as the Mayor of Los Angeles. Before you had Mamdani, you had Mayor Bass. She travels and brags about having gone to Cuba and being able to listen to Fidel Castro give his five-hour speeches about the ‘Beauty of Communism’.”
Juan says that the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles earlier this year was caused by Directed Energy Weapons, like the Maui Fire and other fires and hurricanes over the years, as well the “dustification” of the World Trade Center towers.
Juan reminds us:
“Remember Trump, when he was campaigning all the way back in 2016 in New York, he said, ‘Before I’m done, you’re going to know exactly who brought these buildings down with all the drama of the towers and Building 7’...
“No 757 hit the Pentagon. Everybody knows that. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to even figure that out, at this point. So the question is, how are you going to get there? You can’t do it from the crooked FBI. You can’t do it with the Justice Department. You can’t do it with Congressional investigations.
“It will have to be a Presidential Commission with authority to go into the military databases, information systems to look at those events, including Paradise, Palisades, Maui.
“Who had the authority to use these advanced weapons systems tied to SDI Directed Energy Weapons, against the American People on US Soil? And by the way, causing thousands and thousands and thousands of deaths, not just at 9/11, other stuff.
“You know, Dick Cheney passed away today and there’s a lot of stuff there that relates back to that period, with George Bush, too and, and back into Bush I; 9/11, Oklahoma City, many other events. And SES, Senior Executive Service – you know, every time [Cheney would] have a fake heart attack, he’d kid about the fact that he was running the Shadow Government, OK? Well, SES is the Shadow Government and these false flags.
“And by the way, let me just say this, there’s plenty of cause, good reason to question everything you’re hearing. The people that can pull off the con of a 9/11 and all the falsehoods, there in Oklahoma City, everything else, you can’t trust fully anything you hear. So there’s nothing wrong with being skeptical of every last thing that’s told to you within the media and politicians and all that, at this point in time. But you can also go too far...Don’t buy everything...
“When we get to the real stuff, people will know. It will be very clear and it won’t be obscure and it won’t be bullshit. You’ll have plenty of shocking things to say, and you’ll have great documentation to back it up.
“As the people arrive at Gitmo and are given their new housing situation, the trials – that’s why they’ve got a media center at Gitmo that’s world class. And that’s why you’ve got courtrooms there, where with the media stuff, they can broadcast two trials simultaneously, switching back and forth.
“And because – and this is a really important point, Nino, let me just get this out before we close it off: You have to bring the public with you and in a world of illusion, deception, in order to bring healing back to the country and back to the world. You have to have a sense that this isn’t a lynching, that this is justice being served...
“By the way, early on, Brennan is going to get charged, here shortly, just like Comey was. But don’t look at the Justice Department side of this as being the end of the matter.
“Very quickly because of national crimes, war crimes, I believe you’ll see them moved into the Gitmo system, as opposed to just through the Justice Department. Just getting your chops whetted for what’s coming.“
Florida does not want or need anything from NY, yet alone their Wall Street types that bring nothing good with them. They all should be forced to stay in NYC.
The banking industry has already for some time been moving to Miami from NYC. Wall Street is following especially since "the writing is on the wall" with Mamdani. All that remains is for the stock exchanges to move to Miami which is now inevitable.
If Trump cuts off the Fed funds that states like NY and CA steal from to stay afloat, then NYC will end up in bankruptcy. Can't happen soon enough.
I thought they were considering moving to Dallas, Politico Phil? I know JPMorgan is considering it, and one other bank whose name I can’t recall. I enjoyed reading your comments.
Exactly which is why the country is instinctively organizing into regions that are incompatible with each other. This will lead to the breakup of the US. A marriage that is incompatible with each other cannot last.
This will become more obvious with time. Already, we find ourselves as indigenous Americans in a defensive war with invaders whose worldview is completely antithetical to us and are working to replace us in every sense of the word, physically and religiously. As this develops, the conflict will inevitably become kinetic. They have every reason not to tolerate us and we have no common ground for cooperation. These invaders are from war torn countries and they understand conflict. Native Americans (us) are mentally unprepared and defenseless... for the most part.
Juan's analysis, I think, rightly sums up the past, present, and 'coming soon' to these shores' situations. I am uncertain as to how I should view the articles' conclusion as a positive outcome. It seems similar to Trump's plan for peace in the Mideast in which the first phase of the plan has thus far failed, stopping the second step from implementation, stalled already.
Juan's suggestion for a 'Presidential Commission with authority' seems to be a huge stumbling stone. No one is government, corrupt or not, seems willing to yield power to anything connected to Trump because it dampens their self-worth and image. Detestable.
"Just getting your chops whetted for what’s coming" quote for me makes it more important than ever to pray it may be the Second Coming of Jesus because there are no stumbling steps in His Plan.
Thank you, Phil, for your post. It is a lot of food for thought.
None of us knows how this is going to work out long term. But we can recognize the obvious incompatibilities we are faced with and possible outcomes. When I was born in 1950, America was the united America we all picture because America at that time was 90% Christian white and most Black Americans were also Christian. This has been America from the beginning. Everyone knew what it meant to be American regardless of where we came from. No longer.
Just in the last few decades, the percentage of Christian whites has dropped to 60%. Soon we will be a small minority in this country. Even if we do not recognize this, the Islamic population knows we are incompatible with each other and they have no moral hesitation in eliminating us. In fact, the moral imperative of their religion is to eliminate the Christians by any means and take the "land" for themselves. This is the inevitable result of "allowing" 100 million illegal invaders into this country in the last decade.
Currently, Americans are having a hard time just understanding that they need to defend themselves. I believe this will result in America breaking up along these ethnic/ideological divides. When that happens, you do not want your family to be on the wrong side of that division. Migrate now.
Edit: Corrected 100,000 to 100 million. I guess my brain shorted out and defaulted to 100,000. 100 million is too much to comprehend.
The Globalist Communists need to destroy in order to Build Back Better. Yuri’s excellent post outlines the destruction of NYC. Mandami was installed to finish the destruction and to start the Build Back Better. He may succeed at the destruction phase but, the Build Back Better phase will be a problem.
Yes, I think he will cause great destruction and a loss of the tax base. Buildings will empty out, and eventually be scooped up for pennies on the dollar, often by entities like Blackrock.
Could it be that they suckered in the liberals to gentrify (paying top dollar for renovated slums), then came covid and crime thus the escape phase (sell for whatever you can get to Jared Kushner), let the commies raze the place, then crack down and eliminate the riff raff and the human traffick of clueless liberals rinse and repeats?
As usual, you state it perfectly Yuri! People forget that DeBlasio was also a marxist. He honeymooned in Cuba or China or one of those places. He laid the foundation. And NY voters voted him in TWICE. After 12 blissful years of Bloomberg.
I wish it was that simple but it's not. There were numerous purplish state votes that the GOP lost that they should have won. Though it's not surprising they lost in blue states, the magnitude of the loss was surprising. Many Trump 2024 voters stayed home.
The election was about affordability in several import ways, and people are losing patience.
Young people cannot buy homes. Yes it's technically possible and a small portion do, but huge numbers of them cannot. And it has nothing to do with them being entitled, lazy, or spoiled brats, but that housing prices have exploded while wages stagnated. People can make every excuse they want about why it's not Trump's fault, but it's indicative of real problems in the society. People don't care who's fault it is, they are just mad and want it fixed.
Insurance prices are skyrocketing across the board; medical, home, and auto. This is crippling middle class Americans and they are not happy about it. I've got money in the bank and I'm pretty annoyed about it. I can only imagine what a family just getting by is thinking. Something has got to give.
Of course there's grocery prices which shot way up under Biden and are never coming down. This isn't Trump's fault but people expected him to do something.
Trump has done many amazing things of which I'm extremely grateful. But the administration is getting a reputation that they are more concerned about overseas events than the people at home. It's nice that Trump has stopped half a dozen wars and border squirmishes, but how does that help my family? It doesn't, no one cares about a peace treaty between Laos and Cambodia. No one cares about Israel and Hamas. We don't want war with Venezuela. Yes we want people to stop killing each other but not if it means the US is being neglected.
I'm not saying the US being neglected, but that PERCEPTION is quickly taking hold. Vance gets this as evidenced by a tweet yesterday on this topic. I'm sure Trump does too. But the focus needs to be 95% on the US domestic and economic situation or the Republicans will lose the mid-terms and the last two years of Trump will be non stop impeachments.
Completely agree. I wrote this comment on yesterday's post, but it was late in the day so will repost to echo your thoughts:
I think we have to be very clear-eyed about what happened yesterday. As Jeff said, turnout was massive showing the degree of enthusiasm on the Left. And not surprisingly, the Left is STILL largely motivated by anti-Trump hatred (there really is no other way to describe it) and possibly by the Leftist policies of "free stuff" for everyone. Further, a significant portion of an unmotivated Trump coalition stayed home.
The following observation isn't my own, but I think it is accurate: Trump needs to re-focus on America. I know he is working with an absolutely useless GOP which thinks we will return to the 1980s post-Trump, but he has been spending too much time on vanity projects outside of the US. He got elected to close the borders (yes, done), deport illegals (working on) and address affordability. Finally, and I know I am touching a third rail here, it is beyond time to leave Israel to its own devices. America. First.
Completely agree with almost everything. My one disagreement is that Israel is not a third rail. There is a small group of Israel zealots that have outsized influence due to their wealth and media control. They scream like banshees at *anything* that they perceive as threatening Israel.
They don't speak for the typical American as Israel support provides Americans almost no tangible benefit. It's all downsides, with virtually no upside. It's why they try and turn it into an emotional moral issue (e.g. "defying Israel is defying God!" lol) as they know they cannot win otherwise.
Trump appears to be very capable of keeping multiple balls in the air. He will mention something, move on to something else (leaving everyone trying to catch up), then suddenly resolve something I had thought he had forgotten.
The dollar has been massively devalued by printing an increase of 80% since 2020!!!! ($4.0192 trillion in 2020, $6.7 trillion by Jan 2021, and then $20.0831 trillion by Oct 2021 !!!!! This is a huge mess.) The value of the US dollar can be increased through strong demand, solid economic performance, and higher demand for US exports. That's what Trump is trying to do.
We need to fix the trade deficit (it's like a household spending more than it earns... unsustainable). This can only happen as Trump focuses on making trade deals and increasing our exports (technology, fossil fuels, military stuff). He is working to create a peaceful, prosperous world that wants to buy into America.
I say give the man time to work. He sees a much bigger picture than we can imagine. Only a global approach can fix this problem.
This is the most accurate analysis yet. If the “doge” Trump of Jan/feb/march had persisted then the trump brand would have the momentum to keep going. Instead we got Jerusalem Trump and bail out my buddy milei(and Scott Bessent) Trump with 40 billion for argentine currency speculation but nothing for people here (snap is going to poor MAGA as well), and war with Venezuela (no pentagon cuts as promised). The left can mobilize idiots in a heartbeat, conservatives can see through bs, and unfortunately new conservatives seeing the state of Trump stayed home.
I’m in support of UNITED STATES. I’m sick of funneling money to other countries….ALL other countries. I feel like I’m in a family of 15 kids, starving and cold, watching my parents hand out coats and food to the neighbors. Charity begins AT HOME.
I always use the analogy of the announcement we get when riding on airplanes: "in case of an emergency, a mask will drop from the ceiling. Be sure to place your mask on first and then assist your child." We need to put our mask on first.
I miss DOGE. Also disappointed no one got arrested for their obvious fraud in cashing social security and unemployment checks they were not entitled to.
Yup. And no one cares about complicated arguments of how somehow Argentine bail-outs eventually help the US. Not only is the logic too convoluted for most people to even bother with, it's likely BS anyways. Trump voters did not vote for kissing foreign leaders butts, bombing Iran, or regime change in Venezuela. Even if they can be persuaded to go along with it in some situations, that will never happen if they think it's at the expense of the US.
America First means America first. Tucker stated this beautifully yesterday in a monologue that just ripped Lindsay Graham to shreds. America First means the government acts in a manner that benefits the citizens of the United States. Period, no exceptions. A peace treaty between two pissant foreign counties has zero value unless there's a tangible benefit for America. Not some hypothetical benefit, but immediate benefits. Without that it looks at best like wasting time on trivial matters. At worst it looks like another foreign sell-out.
And not to mention the energy and whinging that took place after Tucker had the nerve to host Nick Fuentes on his show. Count on the GOPe to focus on the exact wrong thing at the exact wrong time. And have you heard about the further turmoil inside Heritage Foundation? Now they are advocating for Jewish purity tests and struggle sessions with their staff. I am beyond livid. I will say that I no longer wonder at Nick Fuentes' popularity among young men. I completely understand it now.
I completely get it too (though I think Fuentes is a manipulative grifter).
What's most concerning is the spinelessness. The blow up yesterday about the Heritage staffer Catholic who didn't want to attend Shabbot dinner on religious grounds was an eye-opener. A bunch of non-Christians condemned him saying that wasn't Christian teaching. Since when do Christians have to justify their faith to a bunch of hysterical (mostly atheist) Jews? When did they become the arbiters of Christian doctrine?
When a non-Christian demands a Christian justify (and even violate) their faith the correct response is "go screw yourself". If they can't bring themselves to say that try "get bent".
Christians have been so browbeaten and emotionally manipulated that they think they are required to justify their faith to people that defiantly reject Christ. It is pathetic. No wonder people are embracing the likes of Fuentes, at least he doesn't act ashamed of his faith.
Edit: Adding that this isn't limited to Jewish religious activities. As a Christian I would not attend a Diwali feast, a Ramadan call to prayer, or an occultic seance. And I would not be offended if a Jew, Hindu, or Muslim declined my invitation to attend an Easter service. Disappointed as I would like them to hear the truth, but not offended.
Christians are the only one expected to bend the knee to other religions. What's beyond explanation is that this is happening in an overwhelmingly Christian country.
I don't know about "overwhelming". This was true when I was born in 1950 at 90%+. Today, America is supposedly 60% Christian but, really, how many are simply nominal Christians who if pressed wouldn't even know how to describe their beliefs. I think we are further down the road of post-Christian America than we realize. The whole concept of "America" - the way we use to think prior to 1950 - has been pretty much gutted from our culture.
Somehow we must stay together and support each other and President Trump! He’s got a lot of things going on at once. DOGE is still working, it’s actually good that it’s behind the scenes so crazy libs don’t try to stop them. This tariff plan HAS to be approved by the Supreme Court or Trumps revamping of our economy is in serious jeopardy. Get rid of the filibuster and start passing legislation. Election integrity reform, ending green subsidies, cutting taxes, let’s start up the conversation about getting rid of income taxes ( of course contingent on incoming tariffs, hence the need for an external revenue service!) and abolishing the federal reserve! This last one is tricky because the last two presidents who tried this ended up dead or shot at and neutered ( Reagan). But it must be done! Cornerstone of getting our country back is not living in this debt economy! And I’m positive Trump has not set that core agenda aside!
Trust GOD. HE is the only one that you can trust. Believe in HIM. HE is fulfilling HIS promises. Have faith in HIM. This has always been a spiritual war. Decide who you support and follow..GOD or satan.
THIS IS THE COMMENT I came looking for!! I’m over all the rah-rah TAW nonsense. Great. Whatever. Good for him. But my family is still losing. My adult children still can’t afford homes. Gas is still too expensive. Groceries are still too expensive. And NOW my husband is working for NO PAY!! I thought a vote for Trump would equate to a better life for average Americans. That hasn’t happened. In fact, considering we aren’t getting a paycheck, our life is getting worse by the day. I’m beyond frustrated with the whole broken system and politicians and all their empty promises who, at the end of the day, just care about themselves and seem unable to fix one damn thing that really matters in everyday life to Americans.
This financial analysis gives a distinct overview as to "why " actions are being taken, and, ya know what they say - follow the money ". I agree with the commentary - buckle up!
It’s a funnel effect in NYC and don’t suppose it’s not by design…get the locals who can afford to move out- -gone, THEN replace them with illegals by the boat load and cram the Sharia down their throats…First and Largest Muslim Caliphate, address NYC, hello New World Order!
Me too plus glutathione. Read about how they are complementary. Also just got oil of oregano capsules from Gaia. Sis swears they keeps them healthy during cold season.
I buy Zane Oregano Oil Softgels, from the mountains of Greese. (150 mg oregano oil per softgel and 130 mg Carvacrol per softgel) It has 86%-90% Carvacrol, which I believe is the antibiotic part.
NAC is actually used routinely in Europe as a cold pill to drain mucus at the back of your nose and throat. It’s usually in the form of a fizzy pill that dissolves in water because you have to take it with a lot of water. It’s weird that in the US it is only used either in hospitals for the purpose of draining lungs, or just as another one of those “crazy supplements”. It is standard issue in Germany, Switzerland, France etc. I don’t think I would take it every day though because it might reduce the effectiveness when you actually get the cold.
Per my comment above, it’s used routinely as a cold pill in Europe to drain mucus at the top of your nose, back of throat and in your lungs. It dissolves/liquefies it.
If we don’t get electronics out of elections, conservatives are going to continue “losing.” Paper ballots, voter ID (which even Mexico has!), same day voting AND counting, but mostly getting onboard with Jay Valentine’s (Omega4America) work exposing how the left manufactures ballots are the key. I think he’s made progress, but if we don’t get elections under control before the midterms, I think we know the outcome ☠️ Prayers for your quick recovery, Jeff! 🙏🏻
The Republican Party is starting to look like older boomers scrambling to figure out their iPhones. Frantically calling their grandkids for instructions to get their "electronics' figured out. Is there no one in the republican sphere that can counter the electronic wizardry of the democrat party that has the superhuman ability to alter elections while republicans wander around in circles looking for a teenager to fix the problem. Is the Republican Party afflicted by some strange political dementia?? Maybe nicotine patches or ivermectin, or a Dr. McCullough wellness pack for all congressperson might help??
I’m not sure how that works if the college student is hundreds of miles away? Especially when Election Day is on a Tuesday, they’d have to miss at least a day of classes, if not more. They should be able to vote absentee but only for the state where they are considered a resident.
When my daughter went to college in PA while we lived in NH, she requested a mail-in ballot, filled it out, and sent it back to NH before the deadline. That's how all college kids should be doing it.
I tend to agree, but I do think it’s a problem if 18 year olds can be conscripted or join the army voluntarily and yet can’t vote. Those ages need to be made more consistent across the board in that case imo.
Back in the day, in WA State, a college student would request an absentee ballot, and mail it back postmarked BY election day. If it was postmarked after election day, it was thrown in the "circular file". Now, they just mail ballots to everyone in the state, eligible voter or not, and they seem to count ballots until whenever the Dem candidate can find enough hidden ballots to declare themselves the winner, i.e. Christine Gregoire.
I voted absentee in the late 1980s/early 1990s., but for the area where my parents lived which was my official address. Recently, a small college town voted FOR a local tax, but most of the voters were college students living in dorms.
My husband has a coworker whose sister moved to England and lives there permanently. She STILL fills out an absentee ballot and votes in our elections here. That is insane.
All of my kids are still listed on the voter rolls in our county even though only two of them live here. I know of college kids who vote absentee and also where they attend school. Again. Crazy that we have a system that allows this.
Are these just federal elections that they are voting in while living in England? They are still (or should be) filing and paying federal taxes. So, exercising their right to vote absentee in a federal election while living overseas is completely legal.
Absentee for state and local allows multiple ballots and I agree definitely should be cleaned up.
@Kathleen- I'm in NY. I offered my license for voting a few years ago and got bitchslapped by the volunteer taking my info: "WE DON'T DO THAT!" "Then how do you know I'm me?" Her co-worker looked at me like "YOU GO, GURL!"
We have to have our name “in the book” here in my PA township; it’s been so long I forget how it began. There was one lady who looked angry about not being in the book and having to fill out a provisional. ✊🏼🇺🇸
Amen. Slip me into those prayers as well, please. My son in law came back from a hunting trip in Colorado and shared the crud with some of us. It’s been so long since I was sick, I can’t even remember, so I should be thankful.
So sorry Janice! I’ve been suffering this week from a crazy itchy skin rash. It got so bad I had to go to Urgent Care because my nurse practitioner is moving her office right now. Praying for you!
Baking soda bath Margot! Stay away from the steroids! Message me for more ideas if you want. My son had a horrendous withdrawal from minimal use of topical steroids. It is more common than anyone knows. So I now have a huge arsenal of anti-itch tools we use instead. GOOD LUCK!
I bought ZOXY DMSO cream the last time and it is very good. 99.9% pure , made in the US. It has aloe in it also. Not sticky. Works on pain, sore muscles, rashes, inflammation, sores... I've never had an ingrown toenail until my 3 foot surgeries... my toe was swollen, red and very painful. By happenstance I thought to put it on my toe, covered it with a bandade and two days later my toe was normal again! Swelling and redness gone and no pain. Went and got a pedicure and she was able to trim the nail without me climbing the wall due to pain! I was stunned! My toe is back to normal! It works on so many things!
Hello, thank you for another great write, my heart breaks because I live in Jersey, grew up in Jersey City still go there and used to go to Manhattan, I am a retired fireman and veteran and can't believe the TDS in Jersey!! I can't believe that the people here, who I heard complain over the whole summer about prices on everything, could vote democrat! I have voted both ways since President Carter, I can explain why I chose one way or another, but ALWAYS considered what WAS BEST FOR THE STATE OR COUNTRY than if, I believed, it would be good for My FAMILY! Now with these lemmings voting with TDS I feel sick about their tribalism hatred of Our President, its UNAMERICAN!! But then again, a lot of the people that voted are here, but DONT WANT TO BE AMERICANS!! The Fall of Rome started from this!! Well, that's it, Thanks for letting me vent. God Bless us All!
It is heartbreaking to watch fools vote by emotion. The stats will probably never be released but a friend who did poll watching this past Tuesday, here in VA, figured (conservatively) at least 65% of those voting were foreign born and another percentage first generation American. It's so awful because no one is voting for what's best for America and their state, these people are voting for whoever told them to vote.
guess you should have never voted democrat bc they are and never were good for the country and now here we are. thanks for that, NOT. Jersey is rotting, you will need more than luck to bail you out now.
Jeff, you need ivermectin fast. You’ll feel better in as soon as 24 hours. Vitamin D +K, Vitamin C, zinc and magnesium glycinate always does the trick for me. Good luck.👍
I'm doing all of that and more, I don't know what the kids were passing around over Halloween this year, but almost every adult I know that was at any of the large kid functions is down sick, and I did two big ones, several days apart. Blah! I'm using everything in my (extensive) arsenal.
Yes, that will be the attempted force fed zeitgeist moving forward: Trump is too tough on Venezuelan drug cartels, too tough on border jumping invaders, ANTIFA, and the elderly. He's a menace, a bully ...a callous thug. The knee-jerk reactionary media sycophants will eat it up. My, how things can change so quickly. I thought we'd be coasting through 2026, now I'm not so sure. Come 2028, whether the loons offer us Newsome, Sanders, a loaf of bread or a coffee filter this horse race is back on. Since politics and public opinion are always cyclical in nature nothing would surprise me. Keep deportin' ....and pitch all voting machines into the Mariana Trench! We call that "leveling the playing field." NOW we're getting somewhere.
They killed Charlie Kirk because he brought light and hope to the Conservative movement. He made the young people believe they could do better in a world full of gloom. He unabashedly supported Trump. That’s why they killed him.
Don’t look for a Republican Senate to help Trump in any way. They hate him as well.
All bets are off for 2026. It SHOULD have been a coasting election, but we have too many holdovers in the Republican party who are just as TDS infected as your average Democrat. Maybe a complete collapse in NYC will be a clarifying moment for some? I don't know. I don't think the third-worlders in NYC care that it might devolve because they came/come from such terrible conditions to begin with. It's all so discouraging.
I hope/pray that objective truth will gain a foothold and pierce the angry blindness. My theory is most people are reacting to their God given conscience…some are just running away from it. In most circumstances one can insert (or remove) “not” in statements of those running away from their conscience (ironically unconsciously) and a truthful statement emerges.
The problem comes in for Floridians…when the wealthy can afford to pick up and move to Florida -it raises our property values/TAXES so we can’t afford it here anymore. They can pay cash and drive up prices.
I watched California do it to Oregon back over the 80’s. It made life much harder there at that time. It never went back down. To this day it is ridiculous how much a house costs in Oregon. Thanks to commifornia.
With residents already struggling to keep up with high property taxes (that DeSantis may or may not be able to give us relief from) and home owner insurance costs rising to a point that is shameful…..it’s not a great situation.
I don’t have the answer. But the poor working class stay in NY and pay the price for this communist agenda while the rich just pick up and leave…..
Yes! And I say that as a transplant myself. We moved here during the height of the coofid scam in May-July 2020. Before the big exodus. It was a job opportunity that moved us. Thankfully the coofid scam didn’t stop us from living our lives and we sold a house in Oregon and bought one in Florida (at NORMAL prices 🤦🏼♀️). BEST DECISION EVER. My ire comes in when people voted for this crap over the years and now decide they don’t like what it produced and wanna move now. Too bad! Stay there and live with it!
They’ve done it to Colorado too. It’s both weird and ridiculously expensive. Oh, and the stores can’t give out any bags. If they offer any you have to purchase them. I was just there visiting my dad and happened to stop to eat on the way in from the airport at a strip mall that had a TJ Maxx in it. I sat there eating watching all these people coming out of the store with their arms full of stacks of clothes, one couple had a bunch of curtains. So weird.
Oregon does that too. It is the STUPIDEST thing….oh wait…..the straws were the stupidest thing 🤦🏼♀️
Oh wait….legalizing drugs was the stupidest thing…oh wait. Making homelessness lucrative was the stupidest thing….oh wait….letting boys go into girls locker rooms was the stupidest thing….oh wait…oh crap 🤦🏼♀️ The stupidest things are too numerous to document.
And Washington State is doing all the same stupid crap! It is as though WA is in competition with OR and CA to out-stupid each other! When they "banned" plastic bags, they put an 8 cent "fee" on grocery bags, paper or plastic. The Mr. and I inquired at several grocery stores as to where that 8 cents was going. Did the state collect it, did the grocery store keep it? No one knew the answer. Someone eventually told me the grocery stores keeps the money. Just recently, the grocery stores started charging .10, .12, .15 cents per bag, depending in which store you are shopping.
In one of the grocery stores in our neck of the woods, the self-checkout has a question: "How many bags would you like to purchase today?" To which question the answer is "None", obviously! 😉
They were doing it before we moved too. One of the MANY reasons it sickened me to continue living there. We saw the writing on the wall and got out at the first really good job offer. When I go back to visit friends and family (less often each passing year) I get so mad. It’s shameful. And so many of the people are duped there. Trained clapping seals at the stupidity of it all.
A Seattle Times columnist, Emmett Watson, used to say that back in the 1980s, don't Californicate Washington. He was the "leader" of a group called "Lesser Seattle". I can't imagine the Seattle Times letting a columnist write those kinds of articles today.
They do the same thing in CT - have to indicate "I'm buying this many paper sacks" and pay some amount per bag. I don't mind when Aldi does that, but it's a bit odd to have it as an "after the fact" extra transaction.
lol that’s Washington state with the bags. Currently 0.08 cents and goes up to 0.12 in January. Now with Pennie’s going away we have to figure out how to round everything to the 5 cent. Always a moving target
I find it amazing and a bit humorous that all of today's red state terror is based on those damned commifornians. I left California after 68 years of fighting the lunacy that took control of the state. I lived there and still state that I come from Ronald Reagan"s California. NO I did not bring my left leaning ways to my new state. There were PLENTY of lefties that were born here thriving when I got here. There are plenty of lefty loons that were in your state(s) before the "commiefornians" arrived. I am Conservative, voting, 2A supporting, armed, and involved with my community, and I count myself as a member of the class people that are the last, best chance to keep my state RED! Oh yeah, there are many of us from Commiefornia!
I think many of the Californians that leave are conservative. What I see is a mindset that doesn't match that of their new locale. For example, wanting to change the pay scales of publicly employed people to match those of CA. Driving like it's a drag race derby. The me, me, me attitudes. It's not everyone but it's not uncommon either.
Pat, as much as I believe that many of the Cali folks that arrived here are as you described. I also believe that others from other, now considered, swing states because of their voting records, such as Arizona, may embody many of the same character issues you describe. Just say'n...
Can I ask how a person born & raised in Californian, has worked before she drove, paid her taxes, tried to raise my kids to be kind, respectful & honest. Voted and signed petitions, was one of the ones fighting the antichrist Gruesome, but moved to Tennessee almost 4 years ago & living on her 2 union job’s pensions & social security, and are lumped with those that are ruining the states we moved to?
I keep thinking we are on our devices, social networking and not getting to know one another and finding that we have a lot in common. And playing blame games, holing up and letting them continue to divide patriots is working to let them win.
Yes! Tennessee and NC are facing influxes of people and driving the prices up there too. It’s inevitable I guess. But the cheaper places aren’t so cheap anymore.
But with hurricanes in Florida and the existing insurance issues - THAT is a big one. We put a new roof on our house in 2022 and the insurance still went UP that year by a LOT. We have zero claims on any home we have ever owned but our costs keep rising. It just went UP again this month for the year. Ugh. Eventually that will price us right out of our house. The elderly and fixed income folks are already dealing with it.
And I’m sorry but NO-ONE is dealing with this issue anywhere.
I'm lucky. Right before C0VID, I got married and moved to an Undesirable State: too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter. No one wants to live here.
Thankfully, all the people I don't want as my neighbors are not going to be moving here.
Saw that with Texas as well - CA transplants coming in with the "so - what can you get for 500-800k around here" when average prices at the time were ~ 150k. Add in that we had many, many people coming in because their jobs were moving out of CA and the housing market exploded. It's semi-stable now, though we have a lot more apartments than we did before. :(
When we sold my parents' house in CT, the realtor mentioned that during the shutdown years for NYC, people were paying 150-200% more than a house was worth without blinking just to get out of the crazy lockdowns. Those times were pretty much over, but she said there were a lot of cases of buyer's remorse just because they would buy anything to get out. Happy to leave, but left with a lot more work and less house than they initially thought.
It is a true sodom and sewage dump. If only it would sink into the Pacific and become like Atlantis, never to be found or heard from again. Just watch the bubbles surface as it sinks into hell.
I have a relative trying to sell a 1,400 SQ FT 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo in FLA. now. It’s not the property tax that is killing potential sale, it’s the high HOA ($532 PER MONTH 😳) and high insurance cost all around FLA. Hopefully the Kings County (Manhattan Movers) refugees will have the funds to afford overpriced FLA.
Yes. HOAs are out of control. They are a mini federal govt. mini state govt. Someone needs to take them on and make it stop. The insanity of it all!!!! We chose the absolute cheapest HOA because there was no other option. It didn’t stop the cheap dues from costing us literally thousands to “fix” their subjective complaints right after purchasing. 😩. I have NOTHING good to say about the commie tyrants that run HOAs.
One of the things that is driving up the price of houses and rents is the fact that giant LLCs, often connected to Blackrock, come in at the last minute with a cash offer and steal the house away from real people who are trying to buy it. They have a dastardly goal to completely own the housing market. Then they can charge whatever they want for rent or sales. We need to federally change the tax structure to disincentivize entities like Blackrock when it comes to housing.
My husband and I had in interesting convo about that. IF we tried to sell and a cash offer came in that was not normal I’d ask who the buyer was. If it wasn’t mom and pop HARD PASS.
NYers and any other northerners need to stay out of Florida or pay a very high exorbitant tax to move there and I mean like 10 million to move there. They bring nothing Florida needs, wants or desires. They are pollutants.
Interestingly, in the 70’s and 80’s, Floridians were buy out properties in the NC mountains to use as summer vacation properties that we NC natives couldn’t afford. We called them Florida Yankees. Same old story repeating itself.
I saw something about TX charging a tariff tax on NYorkers moving to TX. It’s not a bad plan. Make them pay to come in because they raise housing prices, they raise taxes and too often they vote for the same crap they left. It’s happening everywhere even in the Carolinas.
Because of all the Californians we’re are getting masses of cheaply built apartment complexes in Arizona. They look like prisons and are very high density. Yuck!!
I’ve been reading “Stolen Elections- the takedown of Democracies Worldwide” by Ralph Pezzullo. It’s all about how Venezuela thru Smartmatic and Dominion voting machines, have stolen elections. Co-Pilot AI said that 18 of 21 counties in New Jersey use Dominion voting machines. Cittarelli never stood a chance of winning.
Unless the original Venezuelan source code was replaced, the Dominion machines could still be a problem. Smartmatic and Dominion have been bought and sold dozens of times to obfuscate the real ownership.
Well, these female voters (Gen Z that knows no history) with their mothers marching in the NO KINGS RALLIES are the issue here....All of their bridges are built on emotion and we know that never lasts....Republicans must figure out if they are as committed to savng America as these low information voters are to destroying it!
Donor class rules. Donors are committed to saving their class... in the short term.
They seem to have lost any talent for longer term goals, which would benefit everyone, including themselves. Their short term priorities will take them down too, in the long run, along with all of us.
It's from one thing to another with them...one day this and one day that....whatever the flavor is that day! They just like to yell and get in your face and of course, get on camera...very dumbed down!
Clandestine made the point yesterday that this gives Trump the perfect platform for the Midterms - the Dems have chosen to go full communist, and there is no choice but to vote MAGA.
I have a feeling that Zohran is positioning himself to be the Dem candidate in 2028. Smells like Obama.
Dave, I had that same exact thought - this guy seems like a repeat of Obama. He comes out of nowhere, smooth talking, that smile that just seems so phony, wins by a mile...
I said to someone Tuesday night that "Escape From New York" wasn't entertainment, it was prophecy.
Dave aka Geezermann…. Definitely smells like Soros/Obama…KommieMammie certainly sounded like he was campaigning against President Trump in his so called acceptance speech sounding angry, boastful and full of impossible promises!
The opportunity is there but he comes across as very tone deaf. Yesterday he said grocery prices are very low. Why would a guy who probably hasn't shopped in any grocery store in decades say something like that, unless his hand selected staff is lying to him; again?
He needs to figure out that things that impress him, like worshipping money, spending/wasting money & blowing up third-world countries doesn't impress everyone. He's losing support and that's the same as heading in the wrong direction as we travel into 2026.
Many are trying to ignore the FACT that Trump's erratic and often loony behavior does have something to do with the recent wipe-out, even in deep blue areas...
Supporting, arming and funding the genocide of Palestinians is appalling to anyone with any morality at all... ditto preparing to make war on Venezuela... ditto continuing to fund and arm Ukraine, when that conflict could be ended very quickly by halting all support to Ukraine... the tariffs and sanctions have become nutso...
The continued demonization and harassment of Russia is going off the rails, especially if long range weapons are supplied to the slimy, corrupt Uke swine... Trump's support of crypto's will become a major FUBAR soon...
Agree... when gutterslut Cher did it, it was bad enough...
And that "thank you for your attention to this matter" crap is sort of demeaning.... let alone his extrajudicial MURDER of suspected druggies... and mass murder of Palestinians...
That's good. Any time a philosophy/movement is caged, as in being named, it loses its viability. The truth is it will only be viable when it's in a fluid state; as a solid or a gas it has too many limitations!
The GOP needs to wake up and take seriously the rise of Muslims in American politics. Islam is NOT compatible with the U.S. constitution or with Western civilization overall, yet Muslims are winning elections and most people aren't paying attention. In Georgia alone, 11 Muslims are running for public office, including for governor!
Someone smarter than I captured this comment from Mamdamnit's victory speech, and branded it the most terrifying thing he has heard in years:
"We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about."
As Reagan said:
“"The most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help,'"
Exactly the quote that came to my mind when I read Mamdani's comment! Boy, are we in trouble when people can read such comments and not fear the authoritarianism behind them.
A large number of the voters there are not native born, and the ones who are have been educated according to Gramsci's instructions.
Unassimilated
Didn't New York allow anyone who wanted (or was forced) to vote, regardless of legal status???
Well, I identify with America First, and I hope Democrats continue to campaign in the future on ‘affordability’. I hope the GOP does too and I think they will (see JD Vance comments yesterday).
The median age of first time home buyers is now 40. In 2021 it was 33, way back in 1981, 29 years of age. Things have gone off the rails this past 1/2 decade when it comes to home ownership among our youth.
It’s not expensive avocado toast. It’s expensive homes. Just say that famous James Carville catchphrase in your head. And if you still can’t feel the vibe, get out and speak to some people younger than you?
You want to see more charlatans like Mamdani sprout up around other parts of the country? If 1st time home ownership hovers at age 40 or even goes higher then strap yourself in.
Lowering interest rates is first step to address this (thank you, DJT). Stripping out urban growth boundaries in high employment municipalities (which prevent sprawl but artificially boost home prices) should be next.
Then, consider the more controversial steps of curbing or banning Airbnb (and private equity) from the single-family home market.
Let’s applaud whoever Makes America Great Again in this regard, no matter if it’s donkey or elephant, and it’s done in a capitalist way.
Your numbers make me very sad. I bought my first home in 1976 at the age of 24.
You are absolutely right about it being about the price of houses and not avocado toast. As an anecdote, when my father retired from teaching my parents also sold our family home. At the time (late 90s) the home sold for about $40,000 and my father was making $40,000 at the end of his teaching career. That same house today is selling for $450,000. So, all things being equal, top teacher pay should be $450,000 to keep pace with housing prices. It's not even close!
The Dems have systematically caused the consolidation of business into corporations running out small businesses, independent physicians and family owned farms with taxes, regulations and high interest rates. These corporations keep prices high because there’s basically no competition. The land grabs for “preservation” have stopped industry and expansion of homes.
I think they allowed illegals in local elections. The domino drop to full voting rights of course.
Yep, no ID needed. Somebody tried to show their ID and was refused repeatedly.
Florida should pass a law requiring a 5-year waiting period before being allowed to vote after moving from a blue state. Maybe 10 years for people coming from New York. And a critical thinking test at the end of the waiting period.
The better to promote riots next summer. That's what this is all about.
He was chided for expressing that same concern about NYPD being trained by a foreign country.

How many in Congress dance to tunes coupled to Israeli funding?
How many are Duel US/Israeli citizens?
How many go to Israel for educational and wall kissing junkets?
How much in US tax dollars go to Israel and for what?
How is this healthy for a supposed Constitutional Republic?
Well consider this. …63 billion is sent to Mexico every year by legal and illegal Mexicans. That may be a bigger issue.
I don't agree with either of those happening. Isreal and Mexico, both, need to support themselves.
That's mostly not from the 'public purse, although many get 'perks'/ health benefits etc.
Congress is not funding Mexico like they do Israel.
For starters, Israel's intel keeps us safer than any other one of our neighbors or "friends"...
You should also ask HOW MANY in Congress have been in bed with the Chinese & Qataries for the last 50 years....AND what has been the benefit to us, except to turn our university students into treasonous communists
Don't forget the Saudis
"For starters, Israel's intel keeps us safer than any other" - we saw how that worked for the USA on 911.
Research how much US military secret's have been stolen from US by Israel. Their control influence of US telecommunications data, and backdoor computer chip tech and blackmailing US Congress critters and more- think Epstine et al.
Communism is 'dance partner' of Christian Zionism and they both controlled by interests not friendly to the American citizens wellbeing.
Look at Clinton/Obama - Pakastani Blackberry scandal in Congress exposed by George Web.
I saw a red peaked cap yesterday saying,
'Make Israel Palestine Again'
America First movement is asking the question for all countries, what are we getting in return for aid, trade, etc.
I oppose duel citizenship not just for US/Israel but for all other countries as well. Pick US citizenship or pick the other.
"...or pick the other...." and get out of our country.
Edited for typo. 😖
Some DUAL citizenships are not choices, but just how other countries see their own born citizens... I have DUAL citizenship also, and no one who knows me would dare question my allegiance to the USA
It’s not duel. Hamilton and Burr had a duel. It’s dual.
BOOM!!! There it is. But unfortunately, we have a President that supports there every move. Send them packing. NO FOREIGN ENTANGLEMENT!!!

You are missing several dozen other countries that fall under that category.
Indeed. The 'invisible hand' is a transnational conglomerate working in the shadows with allegiance to their own cult and not the Nation state they may reside in.
They're gonna need a bigger NO KINGS rally.
How can they tell the difference between a King and a Queen
1994@35
Mr. President, Congress, if you're listening, it's time to start calling the other side, "Depend-ocrats" and never let the old moniker pass through your lips again because it turns out that it isn't democracy they want to protect but it's socialism/communism/Marxism that they want to advance which, as we all know means creating dependent masses and a small class of Elites who live above the squalor they've created.

Classic!
CNN pundits - flashing their typical disasterously out of tune sensibilities - say that Republicans are painting him as a Boogeyman and all this socialist talk is greatly exaggerated...........HE says he's a socialist, dimwits!
U-Haul: "We're going to need more trucks."
It’s interesting how wordplay/warfare is really going on. Socialist, Marxist, they all equal communist and yes, communist and socialist and Marxist is a dirty word in my book.
One might call it "Fifty Shades of Red".
that's a movie no one wants to see
🤣 True 😏
Democratic Socialism is an oxymoron. There is nothing democratic about Socialism. The Republicans and DJT should repeat this until it is embedded in media brains.
I would say that most, if not all, political parties that call themselves “Democratic” have socialist or communist background, leanings or goals. The link below to Wikipedia (yeah, leftist leanings)
“This article is about socialism emphasising democracy. For the form of democracy emphasising socialism, see Socialist democracy. For the ideology focusing on the gradual transition to socialism by democratic processes, see Social democracy.
Democratic socialism is a socialist[1] economic and political philosophy that supports political democracy and some form of a socially owned economy,[2] with a particular emphasis on economic democracy, workplace democracy, and workers' self-management[3] within a market socialist, decentralised planned, or democratic centrally planned socialist economy.[4]”

And Florida does not want all these NYers. All they do is pollute the atmosphere there. There are how many states between NYC and Florida? Pick one of those NY elites, we are sick of you and your ilk. You are not welcome in Florida.
Floridians had better beware. Look what the influx of Californians has done to Colorado. I would guess New Yorkers would have an even more malign effect on a Southern state.
They did the same thing to Nashville. Left California & brought their political ideology with them. On top of that, because they paid with cash, the cost of housing went through the roof. They don’t assimilate, just like certain immigrants.
And Washington State! Starting in 1987, selling NorCal homes and paying cash in King County, driving up prices and property taxes pronto. Ironically that’s the year I “temporarily” moved to CA, it was still somewhat sane.
We talk every day about the cost-benefit of staying/leaving. No bugs, great weather, food can be grown year-around. But the communist policies are crushing.
I thought it was Southern CA lefties that mainly left for Washington...and also Oregon. I'm in Northern California and with the exception of the coastal sickbed of San Francisco, many of us are sane conservatives and we would like to separate ourselves from the Southern California lunatics. San Francisco and probably now Sacramento can stay with the south state.
and Oregon...
Same in AZ, sadly.
Very true! They turn red states, only, purple IF that state is lucky.
And Oregon too. Ruined our beautiful state.
Idaho is headed that way. It is a non-stop fight now. The mayor of Boise is from Boston...she is a liberal wench. Am I the only one who thinks someone running for office needs to be American born? Not just the President?
For the love of God... Stop electing Karen to public office!
I totally agree. Only American born, of American born, citizens should be allowed to hold ANY office in our country.
Did you see the mayor of Coeur d’ Alene? https://x.com/immeme0/status/1986106156087964107?s=49
You should see what Californians have done to Arizona!
And Nevada!
Plus what California has done to Az, they constantly refer to that’s not how it’s done in California, per my Az friends 😵💫
And some infested Idaho and took their sick politics with them. My sister lives near Boise, and she has seen more than a few signs that say "Go Home Californians".
I think your sister and I could be friends. There are good ones, of course. But it is the Californains who are used to their perks with none of the hard work who want their Hindu prayers before city council meetings. Us saying nothing is not helping.
When I was transferred (you have to be careful how you use that word these days) to Ocala in '84, I frequently saw bumper stickers, "Leaving Florida? Please take a developer with you".
I feel ya....
Later Jay
Good for those people putting up those signs!
Seriously. Go back to where you came from. Just GO!!(not you Nikki) If they hated it, why are they trying to turn their new place into their old place?? UGH
Somehow they always manage to work into every conversation (even at the drive-thru) that they're "originally from CA." As a third-generation Arizonan, it exhausts me.
The response to that should be, "I believe I'd have kept that to myself."
A good response would be, "So?" Or, "So, what?"
California is a breeding ground.
California is a sucking ground.
Parts of it definitely are. The lefties replicate like roaches. But there are 38% registered Rs in this state, with strong pockets of us in a number of counties, especially in the north part of the state. We can mostly pretend the liberal nut jobs don't exist where I live, but of course we can't escape their crazy liberal policies that affect everyone.
A petri dish for harmful viruses.
Indeed, that is why an import tax needs to be set on them. 10 million will do just fine. That will keep most of the shit out.
Lol Lori, don’t hide your true feelings 🤣🤣
CO was not ruined by Californians. It has always been it's own loony bin.
cali immigrants did not help.
I repeat, "Don't Mess With Texas!"
They’re coming here, too!
I see many Texas cars on I75 everyday on my commute into the university. I figure some are evacuating the state? My mental image of Texas is witty, slow talk'in, a little Tex-Mex but my idea of freedom. I've tried to encourage my sons to at least look at Texas.
Best you you.
Later Jay
Look what Californians did to Oregon !!! Same thing
I lived in Seattle in 1969-70 and my in-laws lived in both Washington and Oregon then. Both states were beautiful and wonderful and SANE at that time. Californians from mostly the south state came in droves and ruined them both. For reasons I can't explain, these people never connect the dots with their politics and the mess said politics created, and when they move to escape that mess they don't ever seem to change their politics in their nice new home.
Things from Kommiefornia are NOT very bright.
I lived in Seattle from 1954- 1973… then Portland from 1973-2010. Saw big changes in both places.
Exactly! They ruin every place they go.
Ouch. I moved here from New York in 2001. It’s a huge state with a lot of different kinds of people. I admit that their voting choices are terrible, particularly in NYC. Just remember that many of the people who leave the state are going to be people who are disgusted with the policies of today’s Democrat party. The pro-socialist and woke crowd are not the ones moving en mass to Florida. They associate Florida with Trump and DeSantis, who they hate almost as much . It’s going to be pro capitalist, people disgusted with crime and government infringement, and cops and firemen, etc.
Boise is BLUE due to the CA influx of the last 10 years. Even before the pandemic, dems moved to Boise in droves and now Boise, ID is suffering for it. Four years ago they had a run off for mayor- both of them were dems. You need a microscope to find any republican on the city council. We all suffered from the liberal covid policies because of these blue voters in Boise.
The ones that moved during the pandemic were largely more conservatives, but they still brought plenty of blue voters with them. Nearly all of the farm land around me are only growing one crop- dense housing and they are priced for the California market. Local working people can not afford Idaho any more.
Most (maybe all) big cities are blue. It occurs to me the big schism is not Red states vs. Blue, but Big Cities against the rest of us.
I was shocked to see a U.S map showing all the counties that voted Red in the last election. It was almost the entire country in red. The blue area were the big metropolitan cities, and big coastal cities west and east. The population of these blue areas is so big compared to other areas that they swing elections.
Yes, and those of us who do not live in the city are taxed to subsidize the cities. In ny that is going to be a nightmare.
Exactly!
Northern Idaho, too
Coeur dAlene too,you should see what they elected for mayor. He ran as a Republican. Dan Gookin. Has a rant on X that I can't believe wasn't pasted every where in town before the election 💔💔
FACT. Covid changed demographics and not for the better. I am 2 hours away from Boise and have to go there sometimes. Just Bleck. It grosses me out to even go there anymore. Land around here is crazy expensive and our kids can't afford to buy anything here when they want to come home.
I’ve been there and this is true.
Actually, no, there are a lot of woke that do come and stay in Miami area which is true blue. And yes, NY has all kinds, thats for sure. I lived there for a bit and could not wait to get the hell out. Freak zone central. No more NYers wanted.
I thought Miami was hugely Cuban...aren't they conservative?
Thats what I had thought too but.....
Hopeso
Nice try.
As a Floridian, I would normally tend to agree with you. We had a massive influx of "escapees" (the dark days of covid hysteria) a few years ago and as a result gained a significant amount of red voters. We're not only red, we're deep red. That could change, of course. I remain cautiously optimistic....still sleeping with one eye open after glimpsing yet another license plate from the northeast 🫣. The population has notoriously short memories.
Unfortunately I live in a purple city. Gainesville is demoncrat, the incorporated areas are conservative. I think there is more conservative than demented, but we aren’t allowed to vote in the city. They have been demoncrat for over 40 yrs 🤯😢
Ugh....yes, we still have pockets of hell. Here in St. Johns County the color is quite red. We are mostly sheltered from the madness.
We're here too! All of my life, minus 1 yr for hubby's fellowship. It has forever been deep blue! If we could move, we would. I just cannot imagine leaving our church and our grandson. We put up with it. If you look at the Florida map the blue of Miami has grown smaller. Alachua county remains a blue blob. Gasden county in the panhandle is also blue. That's it, every other area shows red... I do believe Hillsborough county has too many blue voters but apparently not enough to color it purple or blue.
and blue voters that moved to the the Miami area, true blue. NO more Stinking and putrid NYers period.
I moved here from Maine, albeit many years ago. In terms of politics, things don't get more idiotic than the goings on in the Pine Tree State…Vacationland 🙄 There's always a chance someone will come here as bonafide escapee regardless of their locaton. If I remember correctly, didn't certain south east urban regions of Florida flip to red? That was probably because of the Hispanic vote, but my memory fails me.
either way, there should be an import tax set on them to move here to help out Florida's economy. anyone that comes from the north has some kind of liberal mindset, even if it is just one idea.
I want to remind all of you harping on Californians.... many, many of those Californians are not natives and are returning to whence they came. GA, MA and the upper Midwest were way out in front with the propagandation of education and the revolting sex Ed of elementary kids. WA has had the most vile curriculum.. based on the UN's.
CA is a handy scapegoat, but look in the mirror, look around, be honest and get to work. It's all local local local. Be especially on guard against sharia law acceptance and the accommodation of Muslim beliefs. It is not compatible with America or with Christianity. Prepare on your knees, fight with the Sword.
I worked as a female teacher in the Middle East for over 10 years....two in Iran leading up to the revolution and overthrow of the Shah of 1979, followed by 8 years in a university in Saudi Arabia. I taught and knew hundreds of Muslims, and I can say a great many of my students, if not most of them, were sweet and lovely people. But their religion was not lovely. I got first hand, ongoing, long term experience of the rot that Islam produces, and the sickness of Muslim thought and culture, and I can say this: I don't want them here imposing their twisted beliefs and radical Sharia law on us in the U.S.
With astonishment, I just heard some idiot woman shrieking with joy about Mamdani's election, and she actually said "Now we can have Sharia law." Boy oh boy, is that ever a mindless twit to say that, actually advocating for her own oppression. She would not last an hour under Sharia law, but she's too ignorant to understand what it really stands for and what it would mean for her and her freedoms.
my experience in muslim countries agrees 100% with you. Women are treated very badly and that's an understatement in afghanistan and pakistan.
I read the book, ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’, several years ago. It still haunts me with the graphic depiction of those women living under the brutality of sharia law. 🙏🏻
me toooo.
Cali is still awful.
True. After Reagan it went continually downhill and since it is now a supermajority blue state and R's have virtually no representation or ability to influence a single thing, it will continue its downward slide. It's almost at the bottom now.
It's way past awful.
🤔 Hmmm. Really? Is that why, my Mother, a school teacher, was forced to teach the shit Kommifornia exported to the Midwest in the late 60s, very early 70s? Because it was the Midwest that invented the ignorant tripe that Kommifornia demanded the entire country change to their way of teaching? Fascinating.
Well...they're coming, whether long time Floridians want them or not! Be prepared--your 'culture' WILL change!!
yes but I know I will make their lives miserable when I see their license plates and find out they are neighbors. I know many that are planning to do the same. Give them no peace or rest. I look forward to it. Make them rue the day they moved here.
I understand how you feel, I’m certain I would be tempted to fear blue fleeing their own voting ramifications, but judging someone solely based off their license plate isn’t going to do anything positive for society. I’m a conservative Christian, deep red, and lived in Seattle for over 20 years. If I fled to red and was instantly hated bc of the plate on my car, I would realize that the red party is just as hateful as the blue. I would be deeply disappointed that my own people rejected me without a single conversation, which is what we say is so lacking in today’s world. It’s disappointing to read this constant venom.
You do you. Good luck.
Good luck with that - they're moneyed and caustic and brash!!! They influxed into PA back in the 1970's and 1980's because of the trashing of the system in NYC (that Guiliani healed when he was in office) and our housing prices escalated and the 'culture' changed gradually. They are LEGAL CITIZENS - but they're New Yorkers who weren't 'faithful' to The City. They're pushy and aggressively interested in THEIR AGENDA - not the one that the 'intrinsic citizens' have cultivated over DECADES.
Yes, NYers are one of the worst. We won't need luck. If you have the knowledge and know how and a set plan, you can make them so miserable they move. Fear removes brash and caustic real quick.
Mass-holes moved to southern NH in droves to avoid mass taxes, and then voted for all the same sh!t that caused their taxes to rise in Mass! WTF?!? Don’t Libs ever learn?!?!? They ruined southern NH!
Mass-holes, best word of the day! And they are too!
No they don’t learn, they seem to have an genetic impairment in their brain. And that is to repeat over and over the same thing and to expect a different answer.
No, dumbocraps do not have the faculties to learn anything.
It reminds me of the time I had a spider living outside my front door. It was HUGE. I didn't want it there since I was kinda arachnophobic. I got a can of bug killer and sprayed it. Turns out......it was huge with babies on it's back. OMG!!!! They scattered like a nuclear blast! I'm sure they all stuck around and multiplied. Sound familiar?
I love spiders and never kill them as they keep the insects at bay. I am forlorn you killed them. But I understand the analogy.
I hired a spider to catch bugs for me. Best employee I ever had. So smart, he even had his own website!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 !!!!
I never kill spiders. They eat the bad bugs. I catch them and put them outside, where they belong.
My son is an entomologist, so I learned as far back as his childhood to view spiders and other insects with curiosity and interest. If you can see all these little critters up close via macro photography, they are truly fascinating! If I find something unwanted in my house, I try to catch it and release it to the outside.
If they come inside my house they are fair game.
Or Tennessee or Texas.
No red states want them.
I am constantly stunned by the incompetence of the media.
I really need to get over that
They're not incompetent.
They're foot soldiers for the other side, doing their duty for The Cause.
it's scary that most people still don't realize this yet
Back in the day, I was in a technical job at a tv station in a top ten market.
I saw the bias on display; not daily, but it was there, and, at times, it was really obvious.
BTW... there were fewer than a handful of conservatives that I knew about there. If your co-workers found out you were not liberal, they got confused, and looked at you like you were some sort of mental defective.
that was probably back when it was just implicit bias based on who goes into media, now they are nothing more than the paid mouthpiece of the DNC imo. Liberals are always surprised to find that other people can have different views.
In education, the bias was (and I’m sure still is) openly on display constantly. They just assumed that if you were permitted to be there, you must be one of them.
They didn’t think about those who had been spared the leftist litmus test because they filled critical shortage area jobs, the ones that weren’t easy to get certified for.
Right. Why attribute it to incompetence?
I somewhat responded to this. You’re right, it is deliberate.
Not just incompetence, outright malice!
Sometimes (many times) I am overly generous an optimistic point of view towards others actions. You are right, it is purposeful behavior.
The MSM has an agenda, and competence (as understood by disciples of the US Constitution) does not figure into it.
Try ignoring them. Turn off the TV
I don’t watch or read any news. I get most to my information from reliable sources such as Jeff Childers and several others.
Lol you & me both 🤣🤣 it truly blows my mind this is replying to Dr Linda.
It’s not going to be “we need a bigger boat” (early Spielberg). If this goof-ball can actually make his dreams come true, it’s going to be “we need a bigger truck / trailer.”
The first thing I wanted to do after reading this was to call my Niece in Brooklyn to find out when she and her family were moving out of New York.

😭
Yeah, that's a far cry from Reagan's nine most feared words "we're from the government and we're here to help"!
Look at who are the "leaders" of the DNC... Martini Pelosi and Burgermeister Meisterburger Schumer.
One is an opportunistic alcoholic with a horror house plastic surgery addiction and the other is the equivalent of excised and desiccated foreskin.
Now go look at Tic Tok and Facebook (aka the low/non informed voting class) and you will understand why Horse face AOC and the Islamist Mamdani are relevant when at any other time in US history neither would even be cleaning the DNC toilets or emptying demented Lunch Box Joe's bedpan.
Communism is the threat. Not the DNC. The DNC does not evolve into fascism; communism does.
More specifically, the low/non informed Gen Z and later generational voters represent both the cause of and cure for the forthcoming rise in USA based communism....and fascism.
Communism is the political whore who promises you the best time of your life, uses you for its needs and leaves you with the untreatable politically transmitted disease known as fascism.
That last paragraph you wrote is exactly it!!
" Burgermeister Meisterburger Schumer." OMG. You are NOT WRONG. The visual is perfection!
**No concern too small** means they are checking out what you have in your bathrobe pockets when the bathrobe is hanging behind the door.. Think control.
Perfectly captures the great divide among voters. One side finds that statement comforting, the other finds it terrifying.
I would guess that those who find in comforting know very little of the history of the U.S. and esp the history and arguments that brought forth the country and our Constitution.
that is truly frightening. But it makes sense. The Enlightenment got rid of God believing humans alone could fix every problem. Since the Garden of Eden, we've never learned our lesson.
Here are a few POSITIVE aspects (if viewed from a certain perspective) of Mamdani’s incipient mayorship of NYC:
To the extent his policies will be really “socialist” or “radical” they will almost surely be impeded if not totally derailed by that darn old opponent, Reality.
Mamdani – probably – will be the best free advertising the Republicans have obtained in a very long time.
Exactly what I am hoping will happen. I have a feeling he will not be able to get much of anything done. He seems to have very little grasp of the areas of city government over which the mayor has control. Policing, or lack thereof, may be the hardest hit. Sometimes people have to touch the hot stove and get burned…
I was hoping for the same until hochul endorsed him
Yes. We need to hold off on the knee-jerk labeling and wait and see how it plays out.
My mama said the exact same thing, that that line was the most terrifying thing she heard him say.
Mrs. "the Knife"

Good lord
Hahahahahaha! Who’s your daddy…
Wow! That IS great. It's so dignity-robbing of the individual just like the banners that waved at this very time 49 years ago (1976) on the streets of Moscow, "Back ihe USSR". I was an exchange student there on a program for Russian Language majors from various campuses of ... wait for it... the STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK. It was October Revolution Celebration time (official holiday - Nov 7) More than the usual propaganda banners (huge ones!) were omnipresent. Claiming "The Party is the mind of the people!!!" "The Government is Your Soul and Inspiration!!" "Lenin Lived, Lenin Lives! Lenin will live!!" Glory to The State!" All up in your grill! Dehumanizing, mind-mumbing drivel to stifle one's soul and dishearten. That's what's in store for New Yorkers. Yikes!

Ivermectin prophylactically for the win too. Take 12-24 mg when you FIRST start to feel it coming on. Contact Dr Stella Immanuel in Houston, Tx.

The Zohrantifada is the end result of decades of demoralization in nyc. I watched it decay after comrade de blasio took over. We are all snake plissken in escape from New York now: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/escapefromnewyork
Take a step back. What we are witnessing in NYC is a microcosm of what is happening to the entire nation. We are incompatible and cracks are opening at the seams. Check out this analysis: ...............................................................................................
This Is What the Shutdown Is Really About
....“Why? Because without the fraud in the vote system, LA County is a red county. It’s a Republican County. It’s only through the various types of fraud that you get Karen Bass as the Mayor of Los Angeles. Before you had Mamdani, you had Mayor Bass. She travels and brags about having gone to Cuba and being able to listen to Fidel Castro give his five-hour speeches about the ‘Beauty of Communism’.”
Juan says that the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles earlier this year was caused by Directed Energy Weapons, like the Maui Fire and other fires and hurricanes over the years, as well the “dustification” of the World Trade Center towers.
Juan reminds us:
“Remember Trump, when he was campaigning all the way back in 2016 in New York, he said, ‘Before I’m done, you’re going to know exactly who brought these buildings down with all the drama of the towers and Building 7’...
“No 757 hit the Pentagon. Everybody knows that. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to even figure that out, at this point. So the question is, how are you going to get there? You can’t do it from the crooked FBI. You can’t do it with the Justice Department. You can’t do it with Congressional investigations.
“It will have to be a Presidential Commission with authority to go into the military databases, information systems to look at those events, including Paradise, Palisades, Maui.
“Who had the authority to use these advanced weapons systems tied to SDI Directed Energy Weapons, against the American People on US Soil? And by the way, causing thousands and thousands and thousands of deaths, not just at 9/11, other stuff.
“You know, Dick Cheney passed away today and there’s a lot of stuff there that relates back to that period, with George Bush, too and, and back into Bush I; 9/11, Oklahoma City, many other events.

...Wall Street has been moving to Miami – the equivalent of NYC with sun, minus all the extreme Marxism that infects NYC.
Mamdani to Reform NYC – Wall Street Moves to Miami
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/politics/mamdani-to-reform-nyc-wall-street-moves-to-miami/
There’s something delightful abt Cubans escaping commie Castro and New Yorkers escaping Commie Mamdani.
And all ending up in Florida!
LOL... Good one. I hadn't thought of that.
Nice!
Florida does not want or need anything from NY, yet alone their Wall Street types that bring nothing good with them. They all should be forced to stay in NYC.
The banking industry has already for some time been moving to Miami from NYC. Wall Street is following especially since "the writing is on the wall" with Mamdani. All that remains is for the stock exchanges to move to Miami which is now inevitable.
If Trump cuts off the Fed funds that states like NY and CA steal from to stay afloat, then NYC will end up in bankruptcy. Can't happen soon enough.
I thought they were considering moving to Dallas, Politico Phil? I know JPMorgan is considering it, and one other bank whose name I can’t recall. I enjoyed reading your comments.
I heard texas also.
Great day when NYC is bankrupt and its corruption laid to waste. Good times to be had then.
Its all by the Brickell area in Miami and has been for quite some time.
Yes, the government should be able to force people to stay.
Not realistic but it should happen so red states don't become blue.
But then, that would be sort of commie of us, wouldn’t it! 😉
Nope, you keep diseases out of your area, not invite them in.
what if you saw a ny plate with a trump bumper sticker and driver wearing a trump cap
I don’t know where that optimism comes from!!!
"Democrats have nothing to offer but emotional manipulation."
It seems that about 50% of the population [women and gay men] WANT that emotional manipulation.

Exactly which is why the country is instinctively organizing into regions that are incompatible with each other. This will lead to the breakup of the US. A marriage that is incompatible with each other cannot last.
Very concerning! We have to find a way to unite. We can't afford to have this break up our country. I appreciate this writer and her insight: https://open.substack.com/pub/attorneycox/p/buckle-up-america-you-aint-seen-nothin?r=2c9g6j&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=false
Yes, there goes the goal of a UNITED States of America...
This will become more obvious with time. Already, we find ourselves as indigenous Americans in a defensive war with invaders whose worldview is completely antithetical to us and are working to replace us in every sense of the word, physically and religiously. As this develops, the conflict will inevitably become kinetic. They have every reason not to tolerate us and we have no common ground for cooperation. These invaders are from war torn countries and they understand conflict. Native Americans (us) are mentally unprepared and defenseless... for the most part.
"Common ground"? Preservation of the Union...and of human life.
Politico Phil,
Juan's analysis, I think, rightly sums up the past, present, and 'coming soon' to these shores' situations. I am uncertain as to how I should view the articles' conclusion as a positive outcome. It seems similar to Trump's plan for peace in the Mideast in which the first phase of the plan has thus far failed, stopping the second step from implementation, stalled already.
Juan's suggestion for a 'Presidential Commission with authority' seems to be a huge stumbling stone. No one is government, corrupt or not, seems willing to yield power to anything connected to Trump because it dampens their self-worth and image. Detestable.
"Just getting your chops whetted for what’s coming" quote for me makes it more important than ever to pray it may be the Second Coming of Jesus because there are no stumbling steps in His Plan.
Thank you, Phil, for your post. It is a lot of food for thought.
None of us knows how this is going to work out long term. But we can recognize the obvious incompatibilities we are faced with and possible outcomes. When I was born in 1950, America was the united America we all picture because America at that time was 90% Christian white and most Black Americans were also Christian. This has been America from the beginning. Everyone knew what it meant to be American regardless of where we came from. No longer.
Just in the last few decades, the percentage of Christian whites has dropped to 60%. Soon we will be a small minority in this country. Even if we do not recognize this, the Islamic population knows we are incompatible with each other and they have no moral hesitation in eliminating us. In fact, the moral imperative of their religion is to eliminate the Christians by any means and take the "land" for themselves. This is the inevitable result of "allowing" 100 million illegal invaders into this country in the last decade.
Currently, Americans are having a hard time just understanding that they need to defend themselves. I believe this will result in America breaking up along these ethnic/ideological divides. When that happens, you do not want your family to be on the wrong side of that division. Migrate now.
Edit: Corrected 100,000 to 100 million. I guess my brain shorted out and defaulted to 100,000. 100 million is too much to comprehend.
Phil, sorry for my ignorance, but who is this Juan you have quoted? I looked at the linked article but I’m not familiar with the Forbidden News.
Check out nino Rodriguez’s YT channel and you will find out.
Forbidden News is excellent.
That is nauseating! Ugh
Simple, nuc the filibuster. Vote to pass CR, then vote to bring filibuster back. Easy peezy.
NO! Bury the filibuster and the Democrats with it.
The Globalist Communists need to destroy in order to Build Back Better. Yuri’s excellent post outlines the destruction of NYC. Mandami was installed to finish the destruction and to start the Build Back Better. He may succeed at the destruction phase but, the Build Back Better phase will be a problem.
Yes, I think he will cause great destruction and a loss of the tax base. Buildings will empty out, and eventually be scooped up for pennies on the dollar, often by entities like Blackrock.
A 15 minute city is on the horizon!
Could it be that they suckered in the liberals to gentrify (paying top dollar for renovated slums), then came covid and crime thus the escape phase (sell for whatever you can get to Jared Kushner), let the commies raze the place, then crack down and eliminate the riff raff and the human traffick of clueless liberals rinse and repeats?
But the buildings are still so magnificent to look at from street level. Glad I just watch on other's live streams.
But those that are in them suck.
Yuri .. This is all I remember of comrade de Blasio …😞🤮https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E2yXwUm5TNs
All NYC mayors are compromised
As usual, you state it perfectly Yuri! People forget that DeBlasio was also a marxist. He honeymooned in Cuba or China or one of those places. He laid the foundation. And NY voters voted him in TWICE. After 12 blissful years of Bloomberg.
I’m thankful i got to experience NYC 16 years ago; before it went full-on commie. Couldn’t pay me to go there now!
Good morning everyone. Remember, blue voters voted blue in a blue state.... 😉
I wish it was that simple but it's not. There were numerous purplish state votes that the GOP lost that they should have won. Though it's not surprising they lost in blue states, the magnitude of the loss was surprising. Many Trump 2024 voters stayed home.
The election was about affordability in several import ways, and people are losing patience.
Young people cannot buy homes. Yes it's technically possible and a small portion do, but huge numbers of them cannot. And it has nothing to do with them being entitled, lazy, or spoiled brats, but that housing prices have exploded while wages stagnated. People can make every excuse they want about why it's not Trump's fault, but it's indicative of real problems in the society. People don't care who's fault it is, they are just mad and want it fixed.
Insurance prices are skyrocketing across the board; medical, home, and auto. This is crippling middle class Americans and they are not happy about it. I've got money in the bank and I'm pretty annoyed about it. I can only imagine what a family just getting by is thinking. Something has got to give.
Of course there's grocery prices which shot way up under Biden and are never coming down. This isn't Trump's fault but people expected him to do something.
Trump has done many amazing things of which I'm extremely grateful. But the administration is getting a reputation that they are more concerned about overseas events than the people at home. It's nice that Trump has stopped half a dozen wars and border squirmishes, but how does that help my family? It doesn't, no one cares about a peace treaty between Laos and Cambodia. No one cares about Israel and Hamas. We don't want war with Venezuela. Yes we want people to stop killing each other but not if it means the US is being neglected.
I'm not saying the US being neglected, but that PERCEPTION is quickly taking hold. Vance gets this as evidenced by a tweet yesterday on this topic. I'm sure Trump does too. But the focus needs to be 95% on the US domestic and economic situation or the Republicans will lose the mid-terms and the last two years of Trump will be non stop impeachments.
Completely agree. I wrote this comment on yesterday's post, but it was late in the day so will repost to echo your thoughts:
I think we have to be very clear-eyed about what happened yesterday. As Jeff said, turnout was massive showing the degree of enthusiasm on the Left. And not surprisingly, the Left is STILL largely motivated by anti-Trump hatred (there really is no other way to describe it) and possibly by the Leftist policies of "free stuff" for everyone. Further, a significant portion of an unmotivated Trump coalition stayed home.
The following observation isn't my own, but I think it is accurate: Trump needs to re-focus on America. I know he is working with an absolutely useless GOP which thinks we will return to the 1980s post-Trump, but he has been spending too much time on vanity projects outside of the US. He got elected to close the borders (yes, done), deport illegals (working on) and address affordability. Finally, and I know I am touching a third rail here, it is beyond time to leave Israel to its own devices. America. First.
Completely agree with almost everything. My one disagreement is that Israel is not a third rail. There is a small group of Israel zealots that have outsized influence due to their wealth and media control. They scream like banshees at *anything* that they perceive as threatening Israel.
They don't speak for the typical American as Israel support provides Americans almost no tangible benefit. It's all downsides, with virtually no upside. It's why they try and turn it into an emotional moral issue (e.g. "defying Israel is defying God!" lol) as they know they cannot win otherwise.
I like how you say this!
You state it accurately!
Trump appears to be very capable of keeping multiple balls in the air. He will mention something, move on to something else (leaving everyone trying to catch up), then suddenly resolve something I had thought he had forgotten.
The dollar has been massively devalued by printing an increase of 80% since 2020!!!! ($4.0192 trillion in 2020, $6.7 trillion by Jan 2021, and then $20.0831 trillion by Oct 2021 !!!!! This is a huge mess.) The value of the US dollar can be increased through strong demand, solid economic performance, and higher demand for US exports. That's what Trump is trying to do.
We need to fix the trade deficit (it's like a household spending more than it earns... unsustainable). This can only happen as Trump focuses on making trade deals and increasing our exports (technology, fossil fuels, military stuff). He is working to create a peaceful, prosperous world that wants to buy into America.
I say give the man time to work. He sees a much bigger picture than we can imagine. Only a global approach can fix this problem.
This is the most accurate analysis yet. If the “doge” Trump of Jan/feb/march had persisted then the trump brand would have the momentum to keep going. Instead we got Jerusalem Trump and bail out my buddy milei(and Scott Bessent) Trump with 40 billion for argentine currency speculation but nothing for people here (snap is going to poor MAGA as well), and war with Venezuela (no pentagon cuts as promised). The left can mobilize idiots in a heartbeat, conservatives can see through bs, and unfortunately new conservatives seeing the state of Trump stayed home.
I’m in support of UNITED STATES. I’m sick of funneling money to other countries….ALL other countries. I feel like I’m in a family of 15 kids, starving and cold, watching my parents hand out coats and food to the neighbors. Charity begins AT HOME.
I always use the analogy of the announcement we get when riding on airplanes: "in case of an emergency, a mask will drop from the ceiling. Be sure to place your mask on first and then assist your child." We need to put our mask on first.
Agree with you 💯 👍
I miss DOGE. Also disappointed no one got arrested for their obvious fraud in cashing social security and unemployment checks they were not entitled to.
Yup. And no one cares about complicated arguments of how somehow Argentine bail-outs eventually help the US. Not only is the logic too convoluted for most people to even bother with, it's likely BS anyways. Trump voters did not vote for kissing foreign leaders butts, bombing Iran, or regime change in Venezuela. Even if they can be persuaded to go along with it in some situations, that will never happen if they think it's at the expense of the US.
America First means America first. Tucker stated this beautifully yesterday in a monologue that just ripped Lindsay Graham to shreds. America First means the government acts in a manner that benefits the citizens of the United States. Period, no exceptions. A peace treaty between two pissant foreign counties has zero value unless there's a tangible benefit for America. Not some hypothetical benefit, but immediate benefits. Without that it looks at best like wasting time on trivial matters. At worst it looks like another foreign sell-out.
And not to mention the energy and whinging that took place after Tucker had the nerve to host Nick Fuentes on his show. Count on the GOPe to focus on the exact wrong thing at the exact wrong time. And have you heard about the further turmoil inside Heritage Foundation? Now they are advocating for Jewish purity tests and struggle sessions with their staff. I am beyond livid. I will say that I no longer wonder at Nick Fuentes' popularity among young men. I completely understand it now.
I completely get it too (though I think Fuentes is a manipulative grifter).
What's most concerning is the spinelessness. The blow up yesterday about the Heritage staffer Catholic who didn't want to attend Shabbot dinner on religious grounds was an eye-opener. A bunch of non-Christians condemned him saying that wasn't Christian teaching. Since when do Christians have to justify their faith to a bunch of hysterical (mostly atheist) Jews? When did they become the arbiters of Christian doctrine?
When a non-Christian demands a Christian justify (and even violate) their faith the correct response is "go screw yourself". If they can't bring themselves to say that try "get bent".
Christians have been so browbeaten and emotionally manipulated that they think they are required to justify their faith to people that defiantly reject Christ. It is pathetic. No wonder people are embracing the likes of Fuentes, at least he doesn't act ashamed of his faith.
Edit: Adding that this isn't limited to Jewish religious activities. As a Christian I would not attend a Diwali feast, a Ramadan call to prayer, or an occultic seance. And I would not be offended if a Jew, Hindu, or Muslim declined my invitation to attend an Easter service. Disappointed as I would like them to hear the truth, but not offended.
Christians are the only one expected to bend the knee to other religions. What's beyond explanation is that this is happening in an overwhelmingly Christian country.
Yup. And, the pope is encouraging the Catholics to do just this. It’s evil, blatantly.
I don't know about "overwhelming". This was true when I was born in 1950 at 90%+. Today, America is supposedly 60% Christian but, really, how many are simply nominal Christians who if pressed wouldn't even know how to describe their beliefs. I think we are further down the road of post-Christian America than we realize. The whole concept of "America" - the way we use to think prior to 1950 - has been pretty much gutted from our culture.
It is important to remember context. The USA is not an isolated island.
…then you have Trump supports Lindsay graham and is trying to primary masse and green
Somehow we must stay together and support each other and President Trump! He’s got a lot of things going on at once. DOGE is still working, it’s actually good that it’s behind the scenes so crazy libs don’t try to stop them. This tariff plan HAS to be approved by the Supreme Court or Trumps revamping of our economy is in serious jeopardy. Get rid of the filibuster and start passing legislation. Election integrity reform, ending green subsidies, cutting taxes, let’s start up the conversation about getting rid of income taxes ( of course contingent on incoming tariffs, hence the need for an external revenue service!) and abolishing the federal reserve! This last one is tricky because the last two presidents who tried this ended up dead or shot at and neutered ( Reagan). But it must be done! Cornerstone of getting our country back is not living in this debt economy! And I’m positive Trump has not set that core agenda aside!
Trust GOD. HE is the only one that you can trust. Believe in HIM. HE is fulfilling HIS promises. Have faith in HIM. This has always been a spiritual war. Decide who you support and follow..GOD or satan.
Yes, you are correct!
We have two choices: Christ or chaos.
I agree with this 100%
But but...what about the avocado toast?
THIS IS THE COMMENT I came looking for!! I’m over all the rah-rah TAW nonsense. Great. Whatever. Good for him. But my family is still losing. My adult children still can’t afford homes. Gas is still too expensive. Groceries are still too expensive. And NOW my husband is working for NO PAY!! I thought a vote for Trump would equate to a better life for average Americans. That hasn’t happened. In fact, considering we aren’t getting a paycheck, our life is getting worse by the day. I’m beyond frustrated with the whole broken system and politicians and all their empty promises who, at the end of the day, just care about themselves and seem unable to fix one damn thing that really matters in everyday life to Americans.
This financial analysis gives a distinct overview as to "why " actions are being taken, and, ya know what they say - follow the money ". I agree with the commentary - buckle up!

I hope that leaves them all with blue balls, which includes both men and women in those godforsaken cess pools.
It won't take long for them all to feel blue somewhere 🤣🤣🤪
Exactly!
Sadly, there are so many people _outside_ of those heavy blue regions who will now suffer as a result of that very small geographical area. :(
Sadly, they should have VOTED!
Elections are rigged. Have been for a very long time.
Agreed! Until we fix that?!?
Yeah. I read that only 12% of NYC voters actually turned up to vote.
yup
One of those blue states - Virginia - previously voted for Republican Governor Youngkin. So.
Blue states will do that once in a blue moon. Then they revert back or the vote is stolen.
Like NY with Pataki who wasn’t that conservative anyway.
Don't forget to include the dead and the illegal aliens!
It’s a funnel effect in NYC and don’t suppose it’s not by design…get the locals who can afford to move out- -gone, THEN replace them with illegals by the boat load and cram the Sharia down their throats…First and Largest Muslim Caliphate, address NYC, hello New World Order!
You are absolutely over the target. I fully expect for NYC to become an Islamic caliphate unless something radical is done by our government.
as long as they stay there no problem. don't come to red states and bring your filth with you.
No surprises.
Jeff, NAC works wonders for respiratory problems… I’ve been taking since 2020 and have not had one. I used to get bronchitis every year prior to 2020.
Ditto that - and quercetin with zinc, daily, too.
And go sit outside in the sunshine, preferably with your bare feet touching dirt or grass.
I take NAC daily also, along with a handful of other good things :)
Most everyone would benefit from taking probiotics.
We use that too. Dr Joseph Mercola has a good brand. I stocked up during the lockdowns. Good stuff👍
Me too plus glutathione. Read about how they are complementary. Also just got oil of oregano capsules from Gaia. Sis swears they keeps them healthy during cold season.
Isn’t oil of oregano a natural antibiotic?
I buy Zane Oregano Oil Softgels, from the mountains of Greese. (150 mg oregano oil per softgel and 130 mg Carvacrol per softgel) It has 86%-90% Carvacrol, which I believe is the antibiotic part.
I’ve heard that oil of oregano is good to take too.
I believe oil of oregano is a natural antibiotic. See my reply to PEL for the brand I researched and buy with high Carvacrol %. ✔️
Vit D levels brought up to 80, electrolyte replacements, good quality vit C, honey with herbal teas for colds etc. NAC!
Also, a cup of thyme tea is beneficial as an expectorant, or a cup of white willow bark tea is beneficial as a suppressant.
What is NAC?
N-acetyl-cysteine
Mrs. "the Knife"
NAC is actually used routinely in Europe as a cold pill to drain mucus at the back of your nose and throat. It’s usually in the form of a fizzy pill that dissolves in water because you have to take it with a lot of water. It’s weird that in the US it is only used either in hospitals for the purpose of draining lungs, or just as another one of those “crazy supplements”. It is standard issue in Germany, Switzerland, France etc. I don’t think I would take it every day though because it might reduce the effectiveness when you actually get the cold.
What’s NAC?
Per my comment above, it’s used routinely as a cold pill in Europe to drain mucus at the top of your nose, back of throat and in your lungs. It dissolves/liquefies it.
N-acetyl-cysteine. If you put NAC in Amazon search, it will come up.
All supplements are industrial waste. Visit Medicine Girl Substack. Sounds like flu symptoms.
Fluoride too.
The cause of Alzheimers from Aluminum waste product.
If we don’t get electronics out of elections, conservatives are going to continue “losing.” Paper ballots, voter ID (which even Mexico has!), same day voting AND counting, but mostly getting onboard with Jay Valentine’s (Omega4America) work exposing how the left manufactures ballots are the key. I think he’s made progress, but if we don’t get elections under control before the midterms, I think we know the outcome ☠️ Prayers for your quick recovery, Jeff! 🙏🏻
The Republican Party is starting to look like older boomers scrambling to figure out their iPhones. Frantically calling their grandkids for instructions to get their "electronics' figured out. Is there no one in the republican sphere that can counter the electronic wizardry of the democrat party that has the superhuman ability to alter elections while republicans wander around in circles looking for a teenager to fix the problem. Is the Republican Party afflicted by some strange political dementia?? Maybe nicotine patches or ivermectin, or a Dr. McCullough wellness pack for all congressperson might help??
Trump is going to announce an emergency proclamation for paper ballots very soon I’m told re voter interference from Venezuela and Romania.
He should have already done that.
And clean voter roles and college kids need to vote in their home state- not from their dorm room. I've seen T-shirts "Vote Like the Amish"
I’m not sure how that works if the college student is hundreds of miles away? Especially when Election Day is on a Tuesday, they’d have to miss at least a day of classes, if not more. They should be able to vote absentee but only for the state where they are considered a resident.
When my daughter went to college in PA while we lived in NH, she requested a mail-in ballot, filled it out, and sent it back to NH before the deadline. That's how all college kids should be doing it.
💯
If the New York City election is any indication, I'm going to say most college kids, should not be allowed to vote.
I tend to agree, but I do think it’s a problem if 18 year olds can be conscripted or join the army voluntarily and yet can’t vote. Those ages need to be made more consistent across the board in that case imo.
Back in the day, in WA State, a college student would request an absentee ballot, and mail it back postmarked BY election day. If it was postmarked after election day, it was thrown in the "circular file". Now, they just mail ballots to everyone in the state, eligible voter or not, and they seem to count ballots until whenever the Dem candidate can find enough hidden ballots to declare themselves the winner, i.e. Christine Gregoire.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Yup I agree, that’s the way it used to be and the way it still should be done.
I voted absentee in the late 1980s/early 1990s., but for the area where my parents lived which was my official address. Recently, a small college town voted FOR a local tax, but most of the voters were college students living in dorms.
Yeah I agree that the temporary resident college students shouldn’t vote in the place where they go to school.
My husband has a coworker whose sister moved to England and lives there permanently. She STILL fills out an absentee ballot and votes in our elections here. That is insane.
All of my kids are still listed on the voter rolls in our county even though only two of them live here. I know of college kids who vote absentee and also where they attend school. Again. Crazy that we have a system that allows this.
Are these just federal elections that they are voting in while living in England? They are still (or should be) filing and paying federal taxes. So, exercising their right to vote absentee in a federal election while living overseas is completely legal.
Absentee for state and local allows multiple ballots and I agree definitely should be cleaned up.
I don't know about the England situation.
I was told it’s the persons responsibility to call the auditor and have their name removed when a death occurs and moving.
Yes that doesn’t make sense to me either.
🤣
In Pennsylvania, you do not need an ID to vote.
@Kathleen- I'm in NY. I offered my license for voting a few years ago and got bitchslapped by the volunteer taking my info: "WE DON'T DO THAT!" "Then how do you know I'm me?" Her co-worker looked at me like "YOU GO, GURL!"
I'm in NY too and I offer it every year just to see the reaction.
@NAB- asshats
🤣
Same happens in Corrupt Commiefornia
Not true where I live in south central Pennsylvania.
Methinks only Philadelphia is ID free.
Voted in Chester County - did not ask for our id's
Voted in Pittsburgh.
Signature match was the only thing required.
No ID required.
Incredible!
In California, it is illegal to ask someone for ID.
We have to have our name “in the book” here in my PA township; it’s been so long I forget how it began. There was one lady who looked angry about not being in the book and having to fill out a provisional. ✊🏼🇺🇸
In Alabama you do.
🤯
Jeff, God bless you! So sorry you are sick. Praying for your healing now, before I read. Thank you for writing for us!!!
Amen. Slip me into those prayers as well, please. My son in law came back from a hunting trip in Colorado and shared the crud with some of us. It’s been so long since I was sick, I can’t even remember, so I should be thankful.
Praying for you and your family!
Those damnable Dependocrats in Commierado shed their spike proteins all over him...
So sorry Janice! I’ve been suffering this week from a crazy itchy skin rash. It got so bad I had to go to Urgent Care because my nurse practitioner is moving her office right now. Praying for you!
Baking soda bath Margot! Stay away from the steroids! Message me for more ideas if you want. My son had a horrendous withdrawal from minimal use of topical steroids. It is more common than anyone knows. So I now have a huge arsenal of anti-itch tools we use instead. GOOD LUCK!
DMSO lotion for a rash works.
Maggie, do you have a recommended brand/online source for that lotion?
I bought ZOXY DMSO cream the last time and it is very good. 99.9% pure , made in the US. It has aloe in it also. Not sticky. Works on pain, sore muscles, rashes, inflammation, sores... I've never had an ingrown toenail until my 3 foot surgeries... my toe was swollen, red and very painful. By happenstance I thought to put it on my toe, covered it with a bandade and two days later my toe was normal again! Swelling and redness gone and no pain. Went and got a pedicure and she was able to trim the nail without me climbing the wall due to pain! I was stunned! My toe is back to normal! It works on so many things!
Hello, thank you for another great write, my heart breaks because I live in Jersey, grew up in Jersey City still go there and used to go to Manhattan, I am a retired fireman and veteran and can't believe the TDS in Jersey!! I can't believe that the people here, who I heard complain over the whole summer about prices on everything, could vote democrat! I have voted both ways since President Carter, I can explain why I chose one way or another, but ALWAYS considered what WAS BEST FOR THE STATE OR COUNTRY than if, I believed, it would be good for My FAMILY! Now with these lemmings voting with TDS I feel sick about their tribalism hatred of Our President, its UNAMERICAN!! But then again, a lot of the people that voted are here, but DONT WANT TO BE AMERICANS!! The Fall of Rome started from this!! Well, that's it, Thanks for letting me vent. God Bless us All!
It is heartbreaking to watch fools vote by emotion. The stats will probably never be released but a friend who did poll watching this past Tuesday, here in VA, figured (conservatively) at least 65% of those voting were foreign born and another percentage first generation American. It's so awful because no one is voting for what's best for America and their state, these people are voting for whoever told them to vote.
They are voting for whoever will give them stuff.
Worse—for whoever *says* they’ll give them free stuff—and then once elected never actually gets around to giving any of it 😑
guess you should have never voted democrat bc they are and never were good for the country and now here we are. thanks for that, NOT. Jersey is rotting, you will need more than luck to bail you out now.
Jeff, you need ivermectin fast. You’ll feel better in as soon as 24 hours. Vitamin D +K, Vitamin C, zinc and magnesium glycinate always does the trick for me. Good luck.👍
YES, preferably REAL vitamin D— the free kind you get from sitting in the sun for 30 minutes.
D3 is rat poison.
I'm doing all of that and more, I don't know what the kids were passing around over Halloween this year, but almost every adult I know that was at any of the large kid functions is down sick, and I did two big ones, several days apart. Blah! I'm using everything in my (extensive) arsenal.
It’s going around. Feel better quick!
Yes, that will be the attempted force fed zeitgeist moving forward: Trump is too tough on Venezuelan drug cartels, too tough on border jumping invaders, ANTIFA, and the elderly. He's a menace, a bully ...a callous thug. The knee-jerk reactionary media sycophants will eat it up. My, how things can change so quickly. I thought we'd be coasting through 2026, now I'm not so sure. Come 2028, whether the loons offer us Newsome, Sanders, a loaf of bread or a coffee filter this horse race is back on. Since politics and public opinion are always cyclical in nature nothing would surprise me. Keep deportin' ....and pitch all voting machines into the Mariana Trench! We call that "leveling the playing field." NOW we're getting somewhere.
They killed Charlie Kirk because he brought light and hope to the Conservative movement. He made the young people believe they could do better in a world full of gloom. He unabashedly supported Trump. That’s why they killed him.
Don’t look for a Republican Senate to help Trump in any way. They hate him as well.
You interviewed the killer (s)?
All bets are off for 2026. It SHOULD have been a coasting election, but we have too many holdovers in the Republican party who are just as TDS infected as your average Democrat. Maybe a complete collapse in NYC will be a clarifying moment for some? I don't know. I don't think the third-worlders in NYC care that it might devolve because they came/come from such terrible conditions to begin with. It's all so discouraging.
Being ever vigilant is the opposite of coasting. Coasting leads to losing.
I've heard "loaf of bread" (Pete Butt.) is currently the Dem frontrunner. Smh.
Yes Butt being the appropriate description in more ways than one.
I hope/pray that objective truth will gain a foothold and pierce the angry blindness. My theory is most people are reacting to their God given conscience…some are just running away from it. In most circumstances one can insert (or remove) “not” in statements of those running away from their conscience (ironically unconsciously) and a truthful statement emerges.
MTG?
The problem comes in for Floridians…when the wealthy can afford to pick up and move to Florida -it raises our property values/TAXES so we can’t afford it here anymore. They can pay cash and drive up prices.
I watched California do it to Oregon back over the 80’s. It made life much harder there at that time. It never went back down. To this day it is ridiculous how much a house costs in Oregon. Thanks to commifornia.
With residents already struggling to keep up with high property taxes (that DeSantis may or may not be able to give us relief from) and home owner insurance costs rising to a point that is shameful…..it’s not a great situation.
I don’t have the answer. But the poor working class stay in NY and pay the price for this communist agenda while the rich just pick up and leave…..
"Don't New York our Florida!"
Yes! And I say that as a transplant myself. We moved here during the height of the coofid scam in May-July 2020. Before the big exodus. It was a job opportunity that moved us. Thankfully the coofid scam didn’t stop us from living our lives and we sold a house in Oregon and bought one in Florida (at NORMAL prices 🤦🏼♀️). BEST DECISION EVER. My ire comes in when people voted for this crap over the years and now decide they don’t like what it produced and wanna move now. Too bad! Stay there and live with it!
exactly.
This is why no-one ever take personal responsibility
My Dad had a bumper sticker in the 80’s that said
Montana is Full, I hear North Dakota is nice” 😂
When I lived in Florida in the 1970’s a popular bumper sticker was “If it’s called Tourist Season why can’t we shoot them?” 🤣
I’m going to print one that says “South Carolina is full, I hear Pennsylvania is nice”
😂👍
We still have the same one here in Lincoln County MT in 2025!
BOOM BFM! New York sucks.
They’ve done it to Colorado too. It’s both weird and ridiculously expensive. Oh, and the stores can’t give out any bags. If they offer any you have to purchase them. I was just there visiting my dad and happened to stop to eat on the way in from the airport at a strip mall that had a TJ Maxx in it. I sat there eating watching all these people coming out of the store with their arms full of stacks of clothes, one couple had a bunch of curtains. So weird.
Oregon does that too. It is the STUPIDEST thing….oh wait…..the straws were the stupidest thing 🤦🏼♀️
Oh wait….legalizing drugs was the stupidest thing…oh wait. Making homelessness lucrative was the stupidest thing….oh wait….letting boys go into girls locker rooms was the stupidest thing….oh wait…oh crap 🤦🏼♀️ The stupidest things are too numerous to document.
And Washington State is doing all the same stupid crap! It is as though WA is in competition with OR and CA to out-stupid each other! When they "banned" plastic bags, they put an 8 cent "fee" on grocery bags, paper or plastic. The Mr. and I inquired at several grocery stores as to where that 8 cents was going. Did the state collect it, did the grocery store keep it? No one knew the answer. Someone eventually told me the grocery stores keeps the money. Just recently, the grocery stores started charging .10, .12, .15 cents per bag, depending in which store you are shopping.
In one of the grocery stores in our neck of the woods, the self-checkout has a question: "How many bags would you like to purchase today?" To which question the answer is "None", obviously! 😉
Mrs. "the Knife"
And many of the food items you buy are wrapped in plastic!! But but it’s only the bags that are bad.
I love Natural Grocers but I brought that to the attention of a checker one day. Got a blank stare…..
They were doing it before we moved too. One of the MANY reasons it sickened me to continue living there. We saw the writing on the wall and got out at the first really good job offer. When I go back to visit friends and family (less often each passing year) I get so mad. It’s shameful. And so many of the people are duped there. Trained clapping seals at the stupidity of it all.
Ya Washington is right there with stupidity
There used to be a saying "don't Californicate" Colorado. It didn't stop it from happening.
A Seattle Times columnist, Emmett Watson, used to say that back in the 1980s, don't Californicate Washington. He was the "leader" of a group called "Lesser Seattle". I can't imagine the Seattle Times letting a columnist write those kinds of articles today.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Ick. Don’t get me started on Seattle too. 😉
I remember those signs, back in the 1990's.
They did it to Arizona. That gave us Hobbs, Mayes, Gallego and Kelly. Cartel commies all of them.
They do the same thing in CT - have to indicate "I'm buying this many paper sacks" and pay some amount per bag. I don't mind when Aldi does that, but it's a bit odd to have it as an "after the fact" extra transaction.
Yes bags are apparently the new “straws” epitome of evil 😂
lol that’s Washington state with the bags. Currently 0.08 cents and goes up to 0.12 in January. Now with Pennie’s going away we have to figure out how to round everything to the 5 cent. Always a moving target
that is beyond ridiculous.
Add Washington, Idaho and Montana! I could go on …
Californians seem to destroy everything they touch. And they're totally oblivious.
I find it amazing and a bit humorous that all of today's red state terror is based on those damned commifornians. I left California after 68 years of fighting the lunacy that took control of the state. I lived there and still state that I come from Ronald Reagan"s California. NO I did not bring my left leaning ways to my new state. There were PLENTY of lefties that were born here thriving when I got here. There are plenty of lefty loons that were in your state(s) before the "commiefornians" arrived. I am Conservative, voting, 2A supporting, armed, and involved with my community, and I count myself as a member of the class people that are the last, best chance to keep my state RED! Oh yeah, there are many of us from Commiefornia!
I think many of the Californians that leave are conservative. What I see is a mindset that doesn't match that of their new locale. For example, wanting to change the pay scales of publicly employed people to match those of CA. Driving like it's a drag race derby. The me, me, me attitudes. It's not everyone but it's not uncommon either.
Pat, as much as I believe that many of the Cali folks that arrived here are as you described. I also believe that others from other, now considered, swing states because of their voting records, such as Arizona, may embody many of the same character issues you describe. Just say'n...
That's because they're always smoking marijuana.
They must be smoking something!
Yes, they are a transmissable disease.
Can I ask how a person born & raised in Californian, has worked before she drove, paid her taxes, tried to raise my kids to be kind, respectful & honest. Voted and signed petitions, was one of the ones fighting the antichrist Gruesome, but moved to Tennessee almost 4 years ago & living on her 2 union job’s pensions & social security, and are lumped with those that are ruining the states we moved to?
I keep thinking we are on our devices, social networking and not getting to know one another and finding that we have a lot in common. And playing blame games, holing up and letting them continue to divide patriots is working to let them win.
Yes! Tennessee and NC are facing influxes of people and driving the prices up there too. It’s inevitable I guess. But the cheaper places aren’t so cheap anymore.
But with hurricanes in Florida and the existing insurance issues - THAT is a big one. We put a new roof on our house in 2022 and the insurance still went UP that year by a LOT. We have zero claims on any home we have ever owned but our costs keep rising. It just went UP again this month for the year. Ugh. Eventually that will price us right out of our house. The elderly and fixed income folks are already dealing with it.
And I’m sorry but NO-ONE is dealing with this issue anywhere.
I'm lucky. Right before C0VID, I got married and moved to an Undesirable State: too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter. No one wants to live here.
Thankfully, all the people I don't want as my neighbors are not going to be moving here.
This is why - you vill own nothzing and be happy.
That’s what it’s looking like. The happy part is a flat out lie though 😉
The part that sounds good is always a lie 😆😛
good, let them go to those states. Florida has no vacancies. All those poor Floridians having to deal with the stench and sick ideologies of NYers.
Saw that with Texas as well - CA transplants coming in with the "so - what can you get for 500-800k around here" when average prices at the time were ~ 150k. Add in that we had many, many people coming in because their jobs were moving out of CA and the housing market exploded. It's semi-stable now, though we have a lot more apartments than we did before. :(
When we sold my parents' house in CT, the realtor mentioned that during the shutdown years for NYC, people were paying 150-200% more than a house was worth without blinking just to get out of the crazy lockdowns. Those times were pretty much over, but she said there were a lot of cases of buyer's remorse just because they would buy anything to get out. Happy to leave, but left with a lot more work and less house than they initially thought.
California ruins everything 🤦🏼♀️
It is a true sodom and sewage dump. If only it would sink into the Pacific and become like Atlantis, never to be found or heard from again. Just watch the bubbles surface as it sinks into hell.
True Oregonians have said that for years.
I have a relative trying to sell a 1,400 SQ FT 2 bedroom, 1 bath condo in FLA. now. It’s not the property tax that is killing potential sale, it’s the high HOA ($532 PER MONTH 😳) and high insurance cost all around FLA. Hopefully the Kings County (Manhattan Movers) refugees will have the funds to afford overpriced FLA.
Yes. HOAs are out of control. They are a mini federal govt. mini state govt. Someone needs to take them on and make it stop. The insanity of it all!!!! We chose the absolute cheapest HOA because there was no other option. It didn’t stop the cheap dues from costing us literally thousands to “fix” their subjective complaints right after purchasing. 😩. I have NOTHING good to say about the commie tyrants that run HOAs.
agreed.
That HOA is great. South Florida is up to $800 per month or more for condo HOAs.
Even with no amenities? Relative’s HOA controls 35 units and has no pool, clubhouse or tennis courts!
most have one pool.
One of the things that is driving up the price of houses and rents is the fact that giant LLCs, often connected to Blackrock, come in at the last minute with a cash offer and steal the house away from real people who are trying to buy it. They have a dastardly goal to completely own the housing market. Then they can charge whatever they want for rent or sales. We need to federally change the tax structure to disincentivize entities like Blackrock when it comes to housing.
My husband and I had in interesting convo about that. IF we tried to sell and a cash offer came in that was not normal I’d ask who the buyer was. If it wasn’t mom and pop HARD PASS.
NYers and any other northerners need to stay out of Florida or pay a very high exorbitant tax to move there and I mean like 10 million to move there. They bring nothing Florida needs, wants or desires. They are pollutants.
Interestingly, in the 70’s and 80’s, Floridians were buy out properties in the NC mountains to use as summer vacation properties that we NC natives couldn’t afford. We called them Florida Yankees. Same old story repeating itself.
Wow! I had not heard that yet. Good to know.
I saw something about TX charging a tariff tax on NYorkers moving to TX. It’s not a bad plan. Make them pay to come in because they raise housing prices, they raise taxes and too often they vote for the same crap they left. It’s happening everywhere even in the Carolinas.
Because of all the Californians we’re are getting masses of cheaply built apartment complexes in Arizona. They look like prisons and are very high density. Yuck!!
Jeff I hope you feel better soon ❤️🩹
I’ve been reading “Stolen Elections- the takedown of Democracies Worldwide” by Ralph Pezzullo. It’s all about how Venezuela thru Smartmatic and Dominion voting machines, have stolen elections. Co-Pilot AI said that 18 of 21 counties in New Jersey use Dominion voting machines. Cittarelli never stood a chance of winning.
I thought a new guy bought Dominion and cleaned it up? Meet the new boss, same as the old boss?
Unless the original Venezuelan source code was replaced, the Dominion machines could still be a problem. Smartmatic and Dominion have been bought and sold dozens of times to obfuscate the real ownership.
I took it as a new guy bought Dominion so they could sweep all of that under the rug and continue with some new player. :/
The vast majority of counties in California do as well!
LOL
Maybe he never stood a chance because he was pro illegal immigrants and anti Trump - which didn’t stop Trump from endorsing him, by the way!
Well, these female voters (Gen Z that knows no history) with their mothers marching in the NO KINGS RALLIES are the issue here....All of their bridges are built on emotion and we know that never lasts....Republicans must figure out if they are as committed to savng America as these low information voters are to destroying it!
Donor class rules. Donors are committed to saving their class... in the short term.
They seem to have lost any talent for longer term goals, which would benefit everyone, including themselves. Their short term priorities will take them down too, in the long run, along with all of us.
It's from one thing to another with them...one day this and one day that....whatever the flavor is that day! They just like to yell and get in your face and of course, get on camera...very dumbed down!
🎯🎯🎯
add in lowest common denominators.
Clandestine made the point yesterday that this gives Trump the perfect platform for the Midterms - the Dems have chosen to go full communist, and there is no choice but to vote MAGA.
I have a feeling that Zohran is positioning himself to be the Dem candidate in 2028. Smells like Obama.
Like Obama, Ugandan born Madman-i is also not a natural born U.S. citizen.
Dave, I had that same exact thought - this guy seems like a repeat of Obama. He comes out of nowhere, smooth talking, that smile that just seems so phony, wins by a mile...
I said to someone Tuesday night that "Escape From New York" wasn't entertainment, it was prophecy.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Keep your eye on the book of Revelation in the Bible ❤️
Our church has been going through Revelations this fall quarter.
Mrs. "the Knife"
Clandestine blocked at least 99% of us on X. I still get his Substack.
He is acting like a wacko.
I didn't know that, since I'm not on TwiX. I do get his Substack.
Yeah, I only interacted with him a couple of times. Mainly reposting or liking his posts. Then he blocked me.
Couple of weeks ago on X, everyone posted being blocked by him even if they never interacted with him.
Strange behavior.
You’d LOVE TwiX.
I love that moniker.
he probably just got his winter covid jab.
He's nothing but a content thief. Probably blocks everybody he's stealing ideas from hoping they don't see. Complete fraud.
Correct. He stole the locations of the biolabs in Ukraine from someone else.
Dave aka Geezermann…. Definitely smells like Soros/Obama…KommieMammie certainly sounded like he was campaigning against President Trump in his so called acceptance speech sounding angry, boastful and full of impossible promises!
He can’t run for president because he wasn’t born here. He’s never even claimed to have been born here.
I read yesterday that "Madman-i" only became a citizen in 2018.
He has no concept of what it means to be an American.
He's a fake-smiling Muslim tool of America's enemies.
The Dems don't care where he was born. But you are correct.
The opportunity is there but he comes across as very tone deaf. Yesterday he said grocery prices are very low. Why would a guy who probably hasn't shopped in any grocery store in decades say something like that, unless his hand selected staff is lying to him; again?
He needs to figure out that things that impress him, like worshipping money, spending/wasting money & blowing up third-world countries doesn't impress everyone. He's losing support and that's the same as heading in the wrong direction as we travel into 2026.
He just says what he wants, irregardless if it’s true or not.
He says there’s no inflation,but there is always inflation. And it’s been going up.
It does seem to be his pattern
MAGA is dead.
It is not Bard.
Well... badly damaged.
Many are trying to ignore the FACT that Trump's erratic and often loony behavior does have something to do with the recent wipe-out, even in deep blue areas...
Supporting, arming and funding the genocide of Palestinians is appalling to anyone with any morality at all... ditto preparing to make war on Venezuela... ditto continuing to fund and arm Ukraine, when that conflict could be ended very quickly by halting all support to Ukraine... the tariffs and sanctions have become nutso...
The continued demonization and harassment of Russia is going off the rails, especially if long range weapons are supplied to the slimy, corrupt Uke swine... Trump's support of crypto's will become a major FUBAR soon...
I was strong MAGA... but no mas'
Dancing to YMCA used to be cute. Not on aircraft carriers.
No mas.
Agree... when gutterslut Cher did it, it was bad enough...
And that "thank you for your attention to this matter" crap is sort of demeaning.... let alone his extrajudicial MURDER of suspected druggies... and mass murder of Palestinians...
YMCA was a gay song. Odd choice.
maybe there is some hints/info there... plus...
Trump bending over and taking it RUDE... for Netanyahu, Bourla, the ISIS turd and Zelensky... is it not probable that DJT is a "pillow-biter"??
That's good. Any time a philosophy/movement is caged, as in being named, it loses its viability. The truth is it will only be viable when it's in a fluid state; as a solid or a gas it has too many limitations!
The GOP needs to wake up and take seriously the rise of Muslims in American politics. Islam is NOT compatible with the U.S. constitution or with Western civilization overall, yet Muslims are winning elections and most people aren't paying attention. In Georgia alone, 11 Muslims are running for public office, including for governor!
https://www.newarab.com/news/meet-muslim-and-arab-americans-who-won-us-local-elections
Who is bringing these people here, and why?
Obama started it destroying Minnesota. He wants the Muslim takeover.
They're being brought by the government. They're here to help!
