Biden's excellent World War roundup & things are going just awfully; Saudi, France publicly oppose US; Israel surrounded; Taiwan surrounded; Ukraine spring offensive dying; Dan Perry news; and more.
Macron warns Europe not get involved with a conflict that's not theirs...?....Wish someone would've told Biden not to get involved with something that's not ours....
The US installed the current form of dictatorship in Ukraine after the 2004 color revolution. Powerful people in the US use Ukraine to launder money, people connected to and within the Biden crime family.
The US created the conflict in Ukraine. We are involved because it is ours. It should not be ours but it is.
Are you saying the CIA was not involved in the Maidan? Are you saying the Victoria Nuland did not hand pick/install the next leader? Are you saying there were/are no US financial interests in Ukraine? Are you suggesting that the US and NATOstan did not provoke Russia by talking about NATO membership and nukes?
Have you seen the list of foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation? Would it shock you to know that Ukraine was #1, by a lot?
Russia was not looking for a fight. Itās KOBK game theory, the US left Putin with zero options.
Whether or not they were is immaterial. Russia supports various anti-American movements here in the USA too.
The US has a lot of interests in Ukraine. We want it to be free.
Russia wants it enslave it.
Are you saying someone joining a defensive alliance is provoking Russia?
Why is it?
Russia was looking for a fight. Ukraine wasn't able to join nato because of the territorial disputes going on.
Does your neighbor get to take over your house because you won't get a covid shot? Why?
You're justifying it and that sets a dangerous precedent especially given that Putin is a covid vaccine mandater, proclaiming they are effective and the best way to stop covid (he's double vaccinated himself, remember).
But guess what? Now more former Russian territory, Finland, is in nato and Russia can't take it back. Nato missiles and 5th gen planes are within striking distance of another major Russian city.
It doesn't matter who helped Ukraine to stave off Putin's interference in the country. Ukraine has many political parties and free elections. Ukraine's Supreme Court stopped election fraud and ordered a new election which was fair.
How'd the US do with Election Theft 2020 and the courts?
Putin wasn't looking for a fight. He was looking to conquer. Putin has ZERO right to control Ukraine and its people. Maybe you and Putin would have gotten that clue already after the asskicking Ukraine has given.
What planet have been vacationing on? Between ghw bush, and Obeyme,Ukraine's has been a plaything of America. A very strategic piece of land,if you want to contain or piss off putin. Well we pissed him off, and with your buddy Biden at the helm, putin knew what was going to happen. He didn't move on Ukraine whilst PDT was in office, because he knew PDT was in the process of taking the deep state apart, which includes Ukraine, its bio labs, it's ability to launder billions for the crooks running the USA and the installed puppets in Ukraine, placed by your pals. There would be no conflict in Ukraine, most Ukrainians are Russian. But we can't give evil putin land that is his border, with nato breathing down his neck. No that would be wrong. When will you realize we, the good old us of a are the black hats in the world,and have been for decades. Not the people, but the illegal governmental bureaucrats we have given way too much power to. Cia, fbi, nsa, and on and on ad nauseum.
I don't even bother posting this to our 2 resident neocons. At best, they are paid shills. At worst, they actually believe what they say - sigh!
As noted by Gonzalo Lira, āFranƧois Hollande, former president of France, confirms that the 2014 coup dāetat in Ukraine was part of a long-term plan to have Ukraine fight a proxy war against Russia. The Americans have been preparing this war since the Obama administrationāit is now confirmed beyond doubt.ā
The NYTimes "leaks" story is a cover-up of the Hollande story which has now been buried.
When you have nothing to come back with, just sound like a spoiled brat and accuse of being a cry belly. Some of us can actually think critically. But I understand NeoCons are "challenged" in this area.
I thought the exact same thing š He seems to have zero problems involving us in *their* conflicts. As long as it serves them, itās just fine! But just like many in our government, those people are no strangers to hypocrisy.
The Neocon mentality has been "running" our world for generations. It's on BOTH sides of the aisle. It used to be called the "military/industrial complex"....WAR CREATES PROFITS FOR THESE CREEPS!
It's called "communism." The Left fell first, the Right was then infiltrated and what we've seen over the last 60+ years is the Right pretending they're conservative while diligently working behind the scenes to promote communism.
That's more or less what the author Ayn Rand sadly prophesied about the USA back in the late 1950's. I'm sure she's glad she didn't live to see our once great nation crumble into desolation.
France will probably not want to get involved in Taiwan or a MidEast conflict. That's where the general winds are blowing. Macron is looking to accommodate the ChiComs. He's not alone.
People ignore that a Chinese attempt to re-take Taiwan will not be limited to Taiwan. Countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan and India have no interest in ceding regional hegemony to China. Vietnam fought a border war with China in 1979 and India has an ongoing border dispute that dates back decades.
It's frightening to think about how this could play out. What's to stop Kim Jong Un from attacking the ROK with the U.S. preoccupied with Taiwan and Ukraine?
You're absolutely correct and Vietnam did deliver a bloody nose to the ChiComs in 1979. They do however play a long game and the South China Sea is the big gambit played at the moment.
The PLA was a lot different then from what it is now. They were still using Soviet equipment from the 50s and were only a year or two removed from the Cultural Revolution. Plus, Vietnam had all of that high-priced equipment it captured from South Vietnam and were battle-tested.
That said, I can't see China making a military move against Taiwan given the possibility of a larger conflict involving the countries I named (possibly also taking into account Thailand, Australia, New Zealand). Let's say India gets involved, what about its on again, off again war with Pakistan? Then there's Iran, Syria, Egypt and Israel?
I continue to wonder if Biden is actually making ANY decision at all. You have to wonder if he is capable of anything other than reading (poorly) a teleprompter. Therefore, if others are making all the decisions and having Biden go along, who are these others exactly???
George Washington warned America to not get entangled in foreign wars. We did not listen very well. Jeff mentioned the Obama quote about "Never underestimating Joe's ability to "muck" things up." The thing is that to Joe's handlers, this is a feature, not a bug. Joe is the most competently incompetent President ever. He is so very excellent at incompetency.
Jeff said, "I wonder, when was the last time Macron and Von Der Layan visited with an alert Joe Biden?" Ha, Jeff, like a lawyer, sneaking in the operative word, "alert" knowing it has likely never happened.
I think the deep state is unraveling before our eyes. With Covid, they thought they had the cat by the tail, then the ROW said now is the time to see who is to really rule" There is a decent chance that in this global game of RISK, they will all fail, and the world will endure much pain to emerge to something better.
Before COVID Trump had rational nationalism on the rise all over the globe. The middle east was not only accepting the embassy move, they were beginning to formally recognize Israel, the US was a net energy producer, global trade was being rewritten to many nations advantage, Canada and China were being dragged into accepting the Trump version of global trade. Indeed, everything Joe has mucked up, was going exceedingly well under Trump.
āAnd the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.ā
I love this verse Pamelaā¦itās the one I call my signature verse. Of all the wonderful verses in the Bible, this is the one that I need as a daily reminder- through Jesus we may have peace even in the midst of trouble, and He has overcome the world! Contemplating that glorious fact brings amazing peace.
You forgot the unleashed part which is where the world dwells at present. This part of Revelation comes with the defeat of evil later. Probably, much later.
I am filled with hope and a whole lot of praise and thankfulness to God our creator and savior. Today after 50 years we are finalizing the sale of our business here in the Silicon Valley. It's huge for us. Also today our home goes on the market! We have a new home almost ready for us in Florida and plan to be there by June. Hubby, myself and our whole family that stayed here for decades are bugging out.. consider us more conservative minded reinforcements going to Florida!!
There a HUGE amount of Trump voters in California. We just donāt hear about it because there are even more democrats. But I did an analysis after the last election, and California had more Trump voters than Missouri and Kansas and Iowa combined. Thatās because of the enormous population of Cali compared to the 3 large but lower population states.
I agree. I live in the foothills between Sacramento and Tahoe, and there are a LOT of Trump voters up here. There are a lot of anti-Biden signs all over the place. Unfortunately, rather a lot of Bay Area/L.A. liberals have fled up here and have turned this area more Blue than most of us would like. Such fools....they leave the Blue areas they destroyed with their Democrat votes, come up here because it's so nice and peaceful, then they keep voting for the same old garbage they did in the old place.
I have visited Half Moon Bay. Beautiful and quaint oceanside town. I had a fellow dentist and cousin that lived there. We had the best and most entertaining breakfast there once. The cook was singing and interacting with the patrons. So much fun. It was on the main street on the side opposite the ocean.
It really was a great place to live until the pandemic and the left started their rampage. Still a nice place if you want to be a hermit there but the politics just miles away are horrendous.
I too am a retired RN and glad of it. Have lived in Polk County, FL for 51 years and having a home built in the Villages. Traveled the entire US last year with the idea of moving somewhere else for a change. Moving 58 miles away, Florida is the only place for us. You will love it!
Went to a huge empty beach on Long Island this past weekend with my daughter who lives there. The wind and sound of the ocean. The same wave action over eons. The oyster catcher birds and sanderlings doing their thing. Peace washed over me. I live landlocked and the ocean gives me hope, for some reason. Have a wonderful day.
Nature was my salvation during lockdown and still is. Iām blessed to be near many conservation areas where I paint and walk. I worshiped God when I was locked out of my church for over a year. Still do.
Iām fascinated by mountains! We live in Michigan with no real mountains anywhere close. I love the times I get to visit states that have them and see them up close! šļø
We live 20 minutes from the beach. It brings such solace and rest to hear the ocean waves. Intold my husband we are going at least once a week once it warms up. ā¤ļø
All the birds standing on the beach were facing the brisk wind. All of them. My husband said they needed to be facing the wind to fly. I believe we here are facing a cruel wind now but some of us needed wind in our faces to learn to FLY against the wind! Godās Nature teaches me many things.
Wonderful reminder! Today in between the daily & work -Iām Preparing my garden beds & tending to my seedlings š±- and thanking Jesus for all HIS goodness
Omg the BBC ājournalistā is such a tool. āIāve seen much more hate speech on Twitter... oh you want me to give examples? Well, I havenāt actually been using Twitter so I havenāt seen it but others tell me itās happening.ā THIS is why the media has a bad rap and why I now get all my news from Substack (and my commentary from Tucker because he makes me laugh).
Elon Musk was in China opening a new Tesla plant the day Macron was there betraying the US, France's historic ally, which has bailed them out time and time again. Musk is simply one more tool of the Chinese--controlled opposition--and I no longer listen to anything he says. All his witty "anti-woke" repartee and tweets mean nothing when he's selling us out to our greatest enemy.
I think of this every time I see another anti Bud Light meme. I canāt think of a much more modern day redneck beer than Bud Light. Not at all what any of the Woke folk would drink, so why surely alienate a group that is your biggest customer? They are being highly incentivized to do so. They could care less if the small folk quit buying Bud Lightā¦Itās all about controlling the clicks, and agitating people.
Yep, it's by design. Anyone with two brain cells knows that was about the worst possible move by bud light. Putting Jeffrey Dahmer on their can would have gone over better. Now everyone is yet more divided on the issue with no actual discussion and learning happening.
Why do you say about France, "betraying the US"? Have our lies over decades and many conflicts not betrayed our allies first? Elected and Media in the US have lost the high, moral ground and the EU is realizing we exist to get them killed. Now, I don't like Macron, he is another or the self-serving liars. But he is simply doing what we showed him to do. See also: Korea, Vietnam, Iraq/Afghanistan, NORDStream, Israel, COVID19 and soon to be Ukraine and Taiwan.
That makes no sense. Elon is opening plants on all the continents. About to start up in Indonesia and Mexico. The China plant is one of many and not a conspiracy.
I question the assumption that China is somehow "out to get" us. Is the Chinese navy causing trouble in straits of Florida? Consider that possibly, just possibly, although China may indeed be our biggest economic competitor, it may not be interested in military conflict the way the US is. Why can't we just compete economically without fomenting chaos?
I guess time will tell if they're interested only in besting us economically. I believe they do want to take over the US, and they will do it without firing a shot because our center has rotted and we have sold out to them.
China doesn't need to be out to get us. Our nation is burning from within, and China is laughing and watching. I would like to thank the lack of conservatives everywhere for this decline. We've already lost the war of ideology, the commies own the media, the statehouses, the ag's in so many cities, all the unions, every damn one, and schools are teaching at least in the blue retard states,that white people suck.
I lean in this direction regarding Musk ... and I find 'the Anti-Christ's IT Director' highly amusing. Regarding Musk, it's the 'unusual' things Musk has been doing which garners attention. Musk just sticks out! This said and in the larger picture, there does seem to be a 'roll back' campaign going on. I can't say whether 'roll back' is organized or just a process of natural counter-reaction. I can only say that most often things do not happen in isolation and that people concert to make things happen.
Sanctioning thirty percent of the world nations may have been the last straw for the world at large. But equally so, blowing up the pipeline may have been the last straw for Europe because it was not only a crime committed against Russian interests, but it was also an act of war committed against the existential interests of Germany in particular, but also the rest of Europe. And just look what the Europeans have lost with the mad policies of the Idiot Geniuses on the Potomac. Sucked into a losing war. Devastated energy cost component and priced out of the market. Devastated, leveled economies. Hyperinflation. Endangered by an expanded world war threat. And also, I am sure that Europeans read some of the same covid stuff we all at C & C have read ... and they have long ago put two plus two together.
With all the failures, the bioweapon exposures, acts of war committed all over the globe ... all of this and more, the US of A is looking like it is more a candidate for 'deathisnear' and ventilators in the ICU. Credibility seems all used up. The rest of the world washes its hands of the once might superpower. The bill appears to becoming due. Thus, Macron's talk may well be another major inflection point.
And I just heard France and China signed deal worth $15 billion and maybe some or all outside of the dollar. Don't have time to look into all of this. But here is some indication. My sense is that Europe will have to trade with the East, because that is where all the stuff is being made. And it's only common sense that trade cannot be trade without stuff! And by the way, all kinds of Russian oil is now being passed on to Europe through the Middle East. It's looking like only a matter of time before the Emperor without Cloths grip over Europe will fracture like a broken mirror.
So the US is a lot of talk, but the action says nobody is paying too much attention. Keep an eye on Europe. If Europe walks, game over!
Yes! Think what you will about Elon (and I'm undecided myself), but that was the most satisfying thing I've listened to in a long time! These smarmy little liberals and presstitutes think that they're so superior and that of course all "educated" people agree with them-- until they are confronted with actually having to think through and justify their elitist assumptions and idiotic, brainwashed biases. How embarrassing for that guy.
I thoroughly enjoyed the interview! The so-called "journalist" was embarrassingly ill prepared and was made to look like such a fool by Musk. Parts of this interview are being played today on talk shows.
In regards to the "sunk cost" fallacy..it is another way of saying-stupidity is the same as doing the same thing over and over and expecting change. As it has been said..the difference between ignorance and stupidity..ignorance is from a lack of facts..stupidity is when you have the facts and refuse to accept them.
The first time I heard the "sunken cost" fallacy was a couple of weeks ago on Bill Maher's show. He used it to point out that polls/stats on transgenders who regret their surgery has to be extremely off because of the sunken cost fallacy. It's not easy for someone to admit they've made a mistake after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on surgeries, meds, and follow-up visits (not to mention physical and emotional pain and suffering).
Jeff mentions that "Republicans in Congress" may act to limit Sloppy Joe's Ukraine money laundromat and hellscape. But Jeff I'm confused, who exactly ARE these "Republicans" you speak of? Are these the same persons who have been unable and unwilling to protect Trump from political lawfare? And have failed to launch ANY political counterlawsuits? Perhaps they are the ones who are proposing the freedom-ending Restrict Act? Or the ones handling every "investigation" with polite kid gloves, giving equal time to the Stalinists who ran J6?
It's a dilemma for actual justice warriors, who want to restore an equal America. This means that we fight with one hand behind our back according to rules while the other side has no such rules they follow. Pitting a high school football team not just against a pro squad, but a pro squad armed with brass knuckles and knives. It's no contest.
Better would be a temporary DARK MAGA strategy. Yes harvesting and lawfare and undue process are bad, BUT WE USE THEM TEMPORARILY TO RIGHT THE PLAYING FIELD.
It's either that or it's time to get to box #4.
As one commenter noted:
"There are four boxes to use in the freedom fight: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. They are to be used in that order".
C'mon Ken Paxton, find the friendliest freedomist judge and jury in Texas and immediately file a barrage of lawsuits against GAVIN NEWSOME. Everybody knows he will be their candidate in America's last election
Hiden is about as good at the art of war as he is at the art of life. In normal times this guy would be charged as a traitor and treated to a military tribunal. But then no way are these times "normal".
Evil destroys itself eventually and though we must take a stand on truth where we are positive it's is truth we cannot fight against God's eternal Will that has designed a built in justice system not designed by men but carried out by them all for the purpose of exposing the difference between the holy and the unholy. Evil exposed to truth will die like disease in sunlight without a cover.
I'm ready. I'm old, pissed off, pretty much had it, and can still shoot better than most. I might have a few rounds laying about here somewhere. If we do not stop this, by the time the deep state is done getting everything they have ever wanted, we'll just be on defense. I think it's time to go on offense. Are y'all listening? We are coming. We will take you apart. Can't believe I have to actually fight my own government as the worst enemy this nation has ever had.
I believe we must stay nonviolent. We are not just fighting our government here we are fighting the World Economic Forum alliance which includes at this point all nation states. It is still all about their manufacturing our consent at this point. It is our consent which allows them to think they are in control. Violence will hand them the final weapon they desire to be "winner take all".
This is pretty much what happens at the end of an empire's life and we're living it. Empires don't collapse overnight but we are seeing it. At the end, the American people will still be here though.
I have to disagree. I keep hearing this; "that's just what they want, they want us to respond so they can crack down on us". I got news for them. If tit comes to that, there won't be any "cracking down". And the other thing is, how long do we allow them to walk all over the constitution without putting our foot down. No, I'm sorry sir, but 6Jan should have been a violent bloody revolution where the will of the people was heard once again. Unfortunately the next time it will be worse. Do we let this steaming pile of shit admin get us on our knees? Im not ready for that, and yes,I'd rather die fighting.
Maybe you should take a breath, listen to what GOD has to say about HIS plan and do what HE says to be done. HE tells us plainly to repent, seek HIS face, humble ourselves before HIM and the big one, CHANGE OUR EVIL WAYS. Then HE will heal our land. That means each of us INDIVIDUALLY acknowledge our sins, let go of our egos thinking we have given ourselves everything we have instead of thanking HIM for our blessings, seek HIS counsel and direction AND CHANGE OUR WICKED WAYS by following HIS laws and teachings.
Understand. There are many who feel this will be necessary and are willing to make the sacrifice. They have been trying to force us into a civil war for years now. I do think it is their biggest chance to prevail. There are other ways. As Thomas Paine said (paraphrased) ideas can go where armies cannot. Wars perpetually allow those who own the military industrial complex to win.
KW Morton, I assume you meant Biden, not Hiden. I believe he has been charged as a traitor and subjected to a military tribunal. What if what you are seeing is a body double. But, then again, I'm a conspiracy theorist.
Biden/Hiden is a wholly owned subsidiary of the World Economic Forum & associates. They will engage in any deceptions to manufacture our consent & take further control. Body doubles (or Easter Bunnies) are something we already considered as probable. Manchurian Candidate type stuff. It has all been laid out with predictive programming long ago.
Conversation with Musk is priceless.....represents MOST of the left, who literally donāt even know that they donāt even know the first facts of their agenda....they are just zombies bumping around spewing falsehoods and complete BS! Like mad cows, there is literally no use for them, they donāt contribute to the good of our society, they just consume n poop all over at will!
I donāt care too much for Hannity but happened to catch part of his show on the radio yesterday when I was driving somewhere, and this guy called in to blather on about Trump and his crimes etc etc, when Hannity asked him what crimes and if he had even read the indictment, the guy just spouted a bunch of irrelevant nonsense. He had no clue. We need to keep calling people out when they have no idea what theyāre going on about and just repeating taking points.
Yes! Repeating talking points is all they know how to do, and then when anyone dares to call them out on it and asks them to break it down with specific evidence, it's like a deer in headlights as the house of cards comes crashing down (if you can forgive my mixed metaphors).
Yes. Consider the never trumpers as well. The tons of Christians who refused to vote for him because of his overt indiscretions. This bothered me so much I had to unfollow them. Give me a break. At least he stood for good policy. Look at Biden who probably has way more indiscretions and illegal actions and yet it was hidden. UGH.
It killās me when conservative friends donāt want Pres Trump to run again because of his tweets and how the media hates him. I always point out his accomplishments and that I care about results. They care about style, not results-- at the countryās peril.
I did not know Taiwan is covered up with Fauciās biolabs. That sickens my heart. Seriously, we need to revoke the 16th Amendment, fire ALL of the 3-letter agencies and bureaucrats who are destroying the planet while being paid with Federal tax dollars. Let States care for their own citizens and business. Federal govt needs to be reined in and back to what our Constitution intended.
Amen to everything you said Kim. And that is just the starting point. My God, 1,200 biolabs in Taiwan? Many linked to Hunter Biden-related entities that gave us the Great Plandemic? Anybody that doesn't have a big problem with this is either insane or a shill for the Biden Crime Syndicate.
We, the American people, DO NOT NEED "bio-labs" in other countries. The only reason the DoD has bio-labs in other countries is because they are hiding something we as Americans want nothing to do with. What does it take to learn this? Really?
To think how proud my mom was of her country and its virtues until she saw the tactics of the democrats back in the Clinton era..That which really upset her: their lies and Saul Alinsky playbook tactics. Then around 9 years ago she saw how the entire country was changing and that the God fearing and believing nature of our nation, which she and I were so proud of to our European relatives was no longer evident.
She was a keen armchair researcher of world politics, on the internet (in her 80s!) and, a woman of great Christian faith and devotion, and right before she passed on to her heavenly home she said to my daughter to pray everyday for her newborn baby because she will be living in evil times.
Praying God's Anointing and Blessings over you and yours! With everything that is going on, all the craziness, all the nastiness, the hatred, the division, the absolute just wrong way of doing life, I mean how we now look at this generation coming up behind us is living! Man's fall, "sin", it is what has gotten all of us who are alive in this hour, this moment, this minute, today! But GOD, it doesn't have to end like this, when we choose to believe in Jesus, accept Him into our hearts, ask forgiveness of our sinful nature, which is born in us, and is in us every day, we have a Redeemer, His Name is Jesus, we Just celebrated Easter with bunnies and colored eggs, but it is really about Jesus Christ, because only through Him can we make Heaven our home. Seriously look up Amir Tsarfati, awesome Author, his book, Has the Tribulation Began? Great book for believers, and for those needing answers. We are not promised our next breath here on earth, but if you ask Jesus into your heart and believe, really, truly believe that He is the Christ, and that He died for you, today like the thief on the cross, you can make Heaven your home. God's Power,Anointing, and Authority over you all.
"Taiwan reportedly hosts over 1,200 biolabs, many linked to Hunter Biden-related entities ā even more labs than Ukraine." ... will be interesting to see if any of these deep-state labs hatch the next Plandemic. Are there any cities in Taiwan that rhyme with Wuhan?
1200 !!! ? It has become obvious that this was the major reason we got involved in Ukraine and NOW Taiwan ! Our DOD funded GAIN OF FUNCTION research has to STOP.
Ukraine is not an ally and never will be. They are nothing but a money laundering operation and a proxy war tool used by our corrupt government and deep state .
There must be some Rumble-based hypnosis program being used. All you have to say is "bio labs" and the quackery program self-installs and runs automatically. It's uncanny, like a sequel to Jack London's "Call of the Wild" to a modern day, "Call of the Qtard." š±š¤£šø
Hersh has previously written too many "spot-on" works to so simply discount this piece. I don't go for communistic leanings but, I think integrity transcends that gap. My friend, only time will tell.
If we donāt start catching some breaks, I believe this countryās best day are behind us. Bidenās incompetence is overwhelming, hysterical women and rebellious kids are running this administration. If we continue to make policy surrounding this profound stupidity we are doomed.
I told my 14 yo daughter about the law someone proposed to end participation awards. I think the law is silly but her response was priceless. She huffed a laugh and said "well, no one will get anything then." I told her in my day, you earned a trophy and you participated for fun. I then explained how we are reaping the "everyone gets a trophy catastrophe."
Actually, she participates on what I call a "recreational" competitive gymnastics team. It is for kids who supposedly want more than rec and just going to the gym an hour a week but aren't serious enough to travel. They have a monthly meet in the spring. She complains weekly that most of the kids in her class "do nothing" and says their parents must be using it for babysitting. They've had 3 meets and she has won the all around every time, even with a sprained ankle once. Everyone gets a medal for every event just for participating, the medals are all the same, too. They do call out the places at the awards ceremony so 1st, 2nd and 3rd get to stand on the podium. The all around 1st place gets a trophy, that is the only trophy given. So, she understands that trophy is more special than those medals.
Yeup. I say this all the time. Also I believe it hugely contributes to young people unable to cope and unleashing when someone ādoesnāt like themā ā¦. and then go nutzo on a school!
Very recently had a conversation (family member, sadly) and - to the surprise of no one reading here - it is angrily, vehemently stated that ALL of the USA's woes fall directly in the lap of those "ignorant, lying Republicans"; and it is the fault of FoxNews and Tucker Carlson, who lie, cheat and deceive; and of course, the "worst day in the history of the US - Jan. 6"........... oh yes, and DeSantis is pond scum.
The firm conviction with which this was spewed at me was of some surprise - the anger behind it all caught me off guard.
And this from the person who firmly suggested in past conversations that the US's "divisiveness" was caused by Trump. But, of course !
Interesting. I think it was not so many years ago that emotional self-control was expected of all adults--and one looked down on those who lacked it? The guys who fight in the bar....
I had a similar occurrence this weekend with my older cousin (60 yr old). I personally think they (GOP and Dem politicians and media) are all corrupt, so in the past I could find *some* common ground with my cousin, but not this weekend. He supported Bernie in 2016, so I thought he might follow the path of Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi and others who point out leftist media lies on RussiaGate, Ukraine, Pandemic, Jan 6... Nope. He's in the camp of older people who largely still get their media from the TV.
But the level of sheer anger and rage shocked me. I usually just listen to what he says in a state of disbelief and don't try to counter what he is saying with any argument. (imho, these people cannot be reasoned with) So when he exploded, his anger wasn't directed toward me, it was directed at his stepmother who has been married to my Uncle for the past 35 years. My uncle had the locks changed on their house the next day - that's how bad the explosion was.
You are right. It's not Trump causing this divisiveness. But the anger that is being built up in these people is so general, from this experience, when it reaches the tipping point, it can be directed at anyone.
Honestly, I believe that level of anger is demonic. The enemy has stolen any peace and replaced it with hatred, and the person is completely blind to it. And theyāre everywhere. Spiritual warfare šš»
Yes. I suspect he wore his mask in the shower. He had terrible maskne (breakout) from wearing his N95 constantly. I know he was vaxxed and likely got every booster recommended to him.
Imho, the media causes this. Liberal media talks about conservatives as if we're human garbage.
The indoctrination of family is quite sad. Have seen it but this posture you illustrate is truly the sign when someone has little critical thinking ability. Fox is not the end all to anything, Tucker on the whole has a very good staff doing great work and DeSantis is a Trump-lite imitator.
The Left relies on division to advance its agenda. Biden is a mere demented puppet used by them as we've seen with the transgender mental illness promotion.
I've cut people like this out of my life and have not looked back. Don't get me wrong, I'll be civil if I happen to cross paths with them but otherwise no contact other than perhaps a Christmas card.
I don't understand why people feel obligated to include such angry people in their lives. Like most here I have strong political beliefs but have the good sense to keep things in perspective and not shoot my mouth off. People who cannot control themselves and ruin family get togethers with unhinged rants (either left-wing or right-wing) really are the worst sort of angry, insufferable, selfish louts. They care so little about the feelings of others that they'll go out of their way to cause division and anger within their own family!
Good riddance, come back when you learn some manners. And this isn't aimed just at the left, there are plenty of obnoxious Trump supporters who don't seem to understand the meaning of there's a time and a place. Life isn't a twitter flame war.
Life is too short to associate with people hell-bent on stealing your joy and making you as miserable as they are. You can control who is in your life, you'll be much happier if you exclude miserable people from it.
These types have anger issues & more. They know ātheir guyā has mucked it up royally, & had counted on enjoying utopia once rid of Trump.
Maybe secretly they now know Trump held the fragments of our society together but will never admit it. Oh the conundrum of realizing oneās enemy governed better than oneās friend (& fave uncle)!
I do not believe that they "know their guy has mucked it up royally" ..... maybe a few - but most are, I believe - out of their minds, for lack of a better evaluation, lol.
I get similar from some of my family members. One threatened to cut me off from future grandchildren just because (at least I think) he saw some Trump swag on my counter. I was not a Trump supporter but had attended an event where it was passed out. No questions, no discussion, assumptions and then anger/hatred. They really don't see the projection of their own small mindedness and prejudices onto those of us who are more free thinking and open.
Amazing how well "our evil" has been marketed, don't you think? 'Anti-vaxxers' spreading 'misinformation'' and thereby endangering Grandma and everyone else.....
Macron warns Europe not get involved with a conflict that's not theirs...?....Wish someone would've told Biden not to get involved with something that's not ours....
Wish I had a nickel for every darn time someone SHOULD have given Brandon that advice !
The US installed the current form of dictatorship in Ukraine after the 2004 color revolution. Powerful people in the US use Ukraine to launder money, people connected to and within the Biden crime family.
The US created the conflict in Ukraine. We are involved because it is ours. It should not be ours but it is.
That's utterly false.
nobody created the conflict in Ukraine except Russia.
It's not ours, it belongs to the Ukrainians. Russia believes it's theirs, not the USA.
Are you saying the CIA was not involved in the Maidan? Are you saying the Victoria Nuland did not hand pick/install the next leader? Are you saying there were/are no US financial interests in Ukraine? Are you suggesting that the US and NATOstan did not provoke Russia by talking about NATO membership and nukes?
Have you seen the list of foreign donors to the Clinton Foundation? Would it shock you to know that Ukraine was #1, by a lot?
Russia was not looking for a fight. Itās KOBK game theory, the US left Putin with zero options.
Whether or not they were is immaterial. Russia supports various anti-American movements here in the USA too.
The US has a lot of interests in Ukraine. We want it to be free.
Russia wants it enslave it.
Are you saying someone joining a defensive alliance is provoking Russia?
Why is it?
Russia was looking for a fight. Ukraine wasn't able to join nato because of the territorial disputes going on.
Does your neighbor get to take over your house because you won't get a covid shot? Why?
You're justifying it and that sets a dangerous precedent especially given that Putin is a covid vaccine mandater, proclaiming they are effective and the best way to stop covid (he's double vaccinated himself, remember).
But guess what? Now more former Russian territory, Finland, is in nato and Russia can't take it back. Nato missiles and 5th gen planes are within striking distance of another major Russian city.
It doesn't matter who helped Ukraine to stave off Putin's interference in the country. Ukraine has many political parties and free elections. Ukraine's Supreme Court stopped election fraud and ordered a new election which was fair.
How'd the US do with Election Theft 2020 and the courts?
Putin wasn't looking for a fight. He was looking to conquer. Putin has ZERO right to control Ukraine and its people. Maybe you and Putin would have gotten that clue already after the asskicking Ukraine has given.
What planet have been vacationing on? Between ghw bush, and Obeyme,Ukraine's has been a plaything of America. A very strategic piece of land,if you want to contain or piss off putin. Well we pissed him off, and with your buddy Biden at the helm, putin knew what was going to happen. He didn't move on Ukraine whilst PDT was in office, because he knew PDT was in the process of taking the deep state apart, which includes Ukraine, its bio labs, it's ability to launder billions for the crooks running the USA and the installed puppets in Ukraine, placed by your pals. There would be no conflict in Ukraine, most Ukrainians are Russian. But we can't give evil putin land that is his border, with nato breathing down his neck. No that would be wrong. When will you realize we, the good old us of a are the black hats in the world,and have been for decades. Not the people, but the illegal governmental bureaucrats we have given way too much power to. Cia, fbi, nsa, and on and on ad nauseum.
Why did PDT put an armored brigade on russias border?
Why did he train more and more
Ukrainians on western tactics and send the first lethal aid to Ukraine, breaking Biden and Obamaās rule of no lethal aid?
Trump had good relations with zelenskyy.
Putin claimed this was to stop Ukraine from joining nato. Surprise, more folks are joining nato so they donāt get invaded now.
Bio labs! Bio labs! I mean the Qtardia is so real after so many stupid failures.
Guess some people didn't get the memo how Ukraine is so unRussian they are fighting and stopping Putin's fantasy they are not a real country.
I see not only Putin didn't get that memo from reality. SMH

I don't even bother posting this to our 2 resident neocons. At best, they are paid shills. At worst, they actually believe what they say - sigh!
As noted by Gonzalo Lira, āFranƧois Hollande, former president of France, confirms that the 2014 coup dāetat in Ukraine was part of a long-term plan to have Ukraine fight a proxy war against Russia. The Americans have been preparing this war since the Obama administrationāit is now confirmed beyond doubt.ā
The NYTimes "leaks" story is a cover-up of the Hollande story which has now been buried.

Do you get your Putinoid propaganda points from the Kremlin or Putin himself?
Utter Putinoid cry belly nonsense.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/04/08/about-that-new-york-times-story-concerning-the-online-leak-of-u-s-military-and-geopolitical-intentions/
When you have nothing to come back with, just sound like a spoiled brat and accuse of being a cry belly. Some of us can actually think critically. But I understand NeoCons are "challenged" in this area.
I thought the exact same thing š He seems to have zero problems involving us in *their* conflicts. As long as it serves them, itās just fine! But just like many in our government, those people are no strangers to hypocrisy.
The Neocon mentality has been "running" our world for generations. It's on BOTH sides of the aisle. It used to be called the "military/industrial complex"....WAR CREATES PROFITS FOR THESE CREEPS!
It's called "communism." The Left fell first, the Right was then infiltrated and what we've seen over the last 60+ years is the Right pretending they're conservative while diligently working behind the scenes to promote communism.
A lot of "conservatives" now openly support a communist force. It's embarassing
That's more or less what the author Ayn Rand sadly prophesied about the USA back in the late 1950's. I'm sure she's glad she didn't live to see our once great nation crumble into desolation.
I agree, Putin should cut his army back and leave Ukraine.
France will probably not want to get involved in Taiwan or a MidEast conflict. That's where the general winds are blowing. Macron is looking to accommodate the ChiComs. He's not alone.
People ignore that a Chinese attempt to re-take Taiwan will not be limited to Taiwan. Countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Japan and India have no interest in ceding regional hegemony to China. Vietnam fought a border war with China in 1979 and India has an ongoing border dispute that dates back decades.
It's frightening to think about how this could play out. What's to stop Kim Jong Un from attacking the ROK with the U.S. preoccupied with Taiwan and Ukraine?
You're absolutely correct and Vietnam did deliver a bloody nose to the ChiComs in 1979. They do however play a long game and the South China Sea is the big gambit played at the moment.
The PLA was a lot different then from what it is now. They were still using Soviet equipment from the 50s and were only a year or two removed from the Cultural Revolution. Plus, Vietnam had all of that high-priced equipment it captured from South Vietnam and were battle-tested.
That said, I can't see China making a military move against Taiwan given the possibility of a larger conflict involving the countries I named (possibly also taking into account Thailand, Australia, New Zealand). Let's say India gets involved, what about its on again, off again war with Pakistan? Then there's Iran, Syria, Egypt and Israel?
Taiwan is only Step 1: then its take (2) all the island nations, then (3) entire Pacific.
CHIComs stated openly many times they intend to take the USA. Step 1 is deep water port for Nuke-boats (subs).
I continue to wonder if Biden is actually making ANY decision at all. You have to wonder if he is capable of anything other than reading (poorly) a teleprompter. Therefore, if others are making all the decisions and having Biden go along, who are these others exactly???
And if they HAD told Biden to bugger off, do you believe for a minute that the Number One Money Man for Western War Inc., would have listened?
Since we are one of Ukraine's strongest allies starting with Trump (Who loved Zelenskyy, by the way) they woudln't.
George Washington warned America to not get entangled in foreign wars. We did not listen very well. Jeff mentioned the Obama quote about "Never underestimating Joe's ability to "muck" things up." The thing is that to Joe's handlers, this is a feature, not a bug. Joe is the most competently incompetent President ever. He is so very excellent at incompetency.
Jeff said, "I wonder, when was the last time Macron and Von Der Layan visited with an alert Joe Biden?" Ha, Jeff, like a lawyer, sneaking in the operative word, "alert" knowing it has likely never happened.
I think the deep state is unraveling before our eyes. With Covid, they thought they had the cat by the tail, then the ROW said now is the time to see who is to really rule" There is a decent chance that in this global game of RISK, they will all fail, and the world will endure much pain to emerge to something better.
Before COVID Trump had rational nationalism on the rise all over the globe. The middle east was not only accepting the embassy move, they were beginning to formally recognize Israel, the US was a net energy producer, global trade was being rewritten to many nations advantage, Canada and China were being dragged into accepting the Trump version of global trade. Indeed, everything Joe has mucked up, was going exceedingly well under Trump.
Exceedingly well stated. The last paragraph about Trump especially so and no one can naysay.
So Hitler should have won?
Wow, when you have NOTHING to counter with, you resort to diverting the point entirely...and flimsily at that.
Perfectly appropriate.

I love this verse Pamelaā¦itās the one I call my signature verse.

Contemplating that glorious fact brings amazing peace.
May it be soon, Lord Jesus.

I am filled with hope and a whole lot of praise and thankfulness to God our creator and savior. Today after 50 years we are finalizing the sale of our business here in the Silicon Valley. It's huge for us. Also today our home goes on the market! We have a new home almost ready for us in Florida and plan to be there by June. Hubby, myself and our whole family that stayed here for decades are bugging out.. consider us more conservative minded reinforcements going to Florida!!

Any plans to correct your post where you said the Ukrainian offensive was dying?
(it hasn't started).
And any plans to cover the execution of a Ukrainian POW by decapitation by Wagner troops? (Largest neo-nazi army in the world).
You are so blessed! Godspeed on your family relocation.
Iām sorry to hear you are leaving. With everyone I know who has left is conservative not sure how there are any conservatives left! :(
There's lots of us still here in California, I'm not too sure where you are, but we exist.
There a HUGE amount of Trump voters in California. We just donāt hear about it because there are even more democrats. But I did an analysis after the last election, and California had more Trump voters than Missouri and Kansas and Iowa combined. Thatās because of the enormous population of Cali compared to the 3 large but lower population states.
I agree. I live in the foothills between Sacramento and Tahoe, and there are a LOT of Trump voters up here. There are a lot of anti-Biden signs all over the place. Unfortunately, rather a lot of Bay Area/L.A. liberals have fled up here and have turned this area more Blue than most of us would like. Such fools....they leave the Blue areas they destroyed with their Democrat votes, come up here because it's so nice and peaceful, then they keep voting for the same old garbage they did in the old place.
Just bought a house here myself. Welcome!
You will love Florida. Itās a wonderful place to live! š
We did the same and never looked back. However, I do miss the beauty of Half Moon Bay where we lived for decades.
I have visited Half Moon Bay. Beautiful and quaint oceanside town. I had a fellow dentist and cousin that lived there. We had the best and most entertaining breakfast there once. The cook was singing and interacting with the patrons. So much fun. It was on the main street on the side opposite the ocean.
It really was a great place to live until the pandemic and the left started their rampage. Still a nice place if you want to be a hermit there but the politics just miles away are horrendous.
So happy for you!!
Julie
I too am a retired RN and glad of it. Have lived in Polk County, FL for 51 years and having a home built in the Villages. Traveled the entire US last year with the idea of moving somewhere else for a change. Moving 58 miles away, Florida is the only place for us. You will love it!
Welcome
Florida is happy to have you! Bring your bug spray and get yourself a new pair of crocs š
Bug spray- thatās my problem with southern states. Love the people and the freedoms, but canāt take the humidity and the mosquitoes!
And very little humidity. Constantly east wind off the ocean all summer long. It truly is paradise.
Stay on the coast and you have no bugs.
šš
Yay! Welcome to Florida!
Reminder: Faith over fear. Shine your light. Focus on goodness. Thank you, Jeff, for facilitating this space of goodness and light.
Excellent. Amidst all this craziness, we still have to stay positive.
Myself, it's beach day. Packing now!
Went to a huge empty beach on Long Island this past weekend with my daughter who lives there. The wind and sound of the ocean. The same wave action over eons. The oyster catcher birds and sanderlings doing their thing. Peace washed over me. I live landlocked and the ocean gives me hope, for some reason. Have a wonderful day.
Janet, your description brought me some peace while sipping my coffee, thanks!
I'm in the mountains, after spending 4 months at the beach. Mountains & trees have always beckoned me, it's where I feel most centered and at peace.
Nature was my salvation during lockdown and still is. Iām blessed to be near many conservation areas where I paint and walk. I worshiped God when I was locked out of my church for over a year. Still do.
Weāll be in Wyoming camping this summer. Maybe a month in the Wind River area. I also adore the mountains.
Iām fascinated by mountains! We live in Michigan with no real mountains anywhere close. I love the times I get to visit states that have them and see them up close! šļø
Really good to connect with nature and His grace for us all. I love the beaches on Long Island for the same reason.
We live 20 minutes from the beach. It brings such solace and rest to hear the ocean waves. Intold my husband we are going at least once a week once it warms up. ā¤ļø
You are so lucky!! I love the ocean. We visited California last week. Gorgeous!
Love the ocean! We live far from it and I love the moments when we can visit it. So peaceful and relaxing and helps you recenter your life. ā¤ļø
All the birds standing on the beach were facing the brisk wind. All of them. My husband said they needed to be facing the wind to fly. I believe we here are facing a cruel wind now but some of us needed wind in our faces to learn to FLY against the wind! Godās Nature teaches me many things.
Nice Janet, that was nice.

Totally. Elon is probably the Antichrist or something, or at least the Antichrist's IT Director.
But boy he can sure troll the libtards. Much LOLs.

š¤£š
One of these days, I am going to have the misfortune of drinking coffee while I am reading your comments and will have to clean off my screen š¤Ŗš
Elon Musk was in China opening a new Tesla plant the day Macron was there betraying the US, France's historic ally, which has bailed them out time and time again. Musk is simply one more tool of the Chinese--controlled opposition--and I no longer listen to anything he says. All his witty "anti-woke" repartee and tweets mean nothing when he's selling us out to our greatest enemy.
I think of this every time I see another anti Bud Light meme. I canāt think of a much more modern day redneck beer than Bud Light. Not at all what any of the Woke folk would drink, so why surely alienate a group that is your biggest customer? They are being highly incentivized to do so. They could care less if the small folk quit buying Bud Lightā¦Itās all about controlling the clicks, and agitating people.
Yep, it's by design. Anyone with two brain cells knows that was about the worst possible move by bud light. Putting Jeffrey Dahmer on their can would have gone over better. Now everyone is yet more divided on the issue with no actual discussion and learning happening.
What about Bush Light??
Why do you say about France, "betraying the US"? Have our lies over decades and many conflicts not betrayed our allies first? Elected and Media in the US have lost the high, moral ground and the EU is realizing we exist to get them killed. Now, I don't like Macron, he is another or the self-serving liars. But he is simply doing what we showed him to do. See also: Korea, Vietnam, Iraq/Afghanistan, NORDStream, Israel, COVID19 and soon to be Ukraine and Taiwan.
Oh, stabbing allies in the back, yes, the US is developing quite a reputation there.
That makes no sense. Elon is opening plants on all the continents. About to start up in Indonesia and Mexico. The China plant is one of many and not a conspiracy.
I question the assumption that China is somehow "out to get" us. Is the Chinese navy causing trouble in straits of Florida? Consider that possibly, just possibly, although China may indeed be our biggest economic competitor, it may not be interested in military conflict the way the US is. Why can't we just compete economically without fomenting chaos?
Well for one thing, the neocons who have been running our Gov't always got to have some new wars to keep the profits and the bravado flowing.
I guess time will tell if they're interested only in besting us economically. I believe they do want to take over the US, and they will do it without firing a shot because our center has rotted and we have sold out to them.
China doesn't need to be out to get us. Our nation is burning from within, and China is laughing and watching. I would like to thank the lack of conservatives everywhere for this decline. We've already lost the war of ideology, the commies own the media, the statehouses, the ag's in so many cities, all the unions, every damn one, and schools are teaching at least in the blue retard states,that white people suck.
Long article yesterday but worth the read... https://briefing.larouchepub.com:7743/bfg/full/2023/04/11/AqYjeAGtjgdgy44p/20230411-briefing-full.html
I lean in this direction regarding Musk ... and I find 'the Anti-Christ's IT Director' highly amusing. Regarding Musk, it's the 'unusual' things Musk has been doing which garners attention. Musk just sticks out! This said and in the larger picture, there does seem to be a 'roll back' campaign going on. I can't say whether 'roll back' is organized or just a process of natural counter-reaction. I can only say that most often things do not happen in isolation and that people concert to make things happen.
Sanctioning thirty percent of the world nations may have been the last straw for the world at large. But equally so, blowing up the pipeline may have been the last straw for Europe because it was not only a crime committed against Russian interests, but it was also an act of war committed against the existential interests of Germany in particular, but also the rest of Europe. And just look what the Europeans have lost with the mad policies of the Idiot Geniuses on the Potomac. Sucked into a losing war. Devastated energy cost component and priced out of the market. Devastated, leveled economies. Hyperinflation. Endangered by an expanded world war threat. And also, I am sure that Europeans read some of the same covid stuff we all at C & C have read ... and they have long ago put two plus two together.
With all the failures, the bioweapon exposures, acts of war committed all over the globe ... all of this and more, the US of A is looking like it is more a candidate for 'deathisnear' and ventilators in the ICU. Credibility seems all used up. The rest of the world washes its hands of the once might superpower. The bill appears to becoming due. Thus, Macron's talk may well be another major inflection point.
Nailed it.
Very cogent Dave.
Hi Phil ...
And I just heard France and China signed deal worth $15 billion and maybe some or all outside of the dollar. Don't have time to look into all of this. But here is some indication. My sense is that Europe will have to trade with the East, because that is where all the stuff is being made. And it's only common sense that trade cannot be trade without stuff! And by the way, all kinds of Russian oil is now being passed on to Europe through the Middle East. It's looking like only a matter of time before the Emperor without Cloths grip over Europe will fracture like a broken mirror.
So the US is a lot of talk, but the action says nobody is paying too much attention. Keep an eye on Europe. If Europe walks, game over!

Yes! Think what you will about Elon (and I'm undecided myself), but that was the most satisfying thing I've listened to in a long time! These smarmy little liberals and presstitutes think that they're so superior and that of course all "educated" people agree with them-- until they are confronted with actually having to think through and justify their elitist assumptions and idiotic, brainwashed biases. How embarrassing for that guy.

I share your feelings and opinions of these people, well said!
I thoroughly enjoyed the interview! The so-called "journalist" was embarrassingly ill prepared and was made to look like such a fool by Musk. Parts of this interview are being played today on talk shows.
In regards to the "sunk cost" fallacy..it is another way of saying-stupidity is the same as doing the same thing over and over and expecting change. As it has been said..the difference between ignorance and stupidity..ignorance is from a lack of facts..stupidity is when you have the facts and refuse to accept them.
The first time I heard the "sunken cost" fallacy was a couple of weeks ago on Bill Maher's show. He used it to point out that polls/stats on transgenders who regret their surgery has to be extremely off because of the sunken cost fallacy. It's not easy for someone to admit they've made a mistake after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on surgeries, meds, and follow-up visits (not to mention physical and emotional pain and suffering).
The people who DO admit it are especially brave and principled imo.
Yes, they are. Good point.
And insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
Jeff mentions that "Republicans in Congress" may act to limit Sloppy Joe's Ukraine money laundromat and hellscape. But Jeff I'm confused, who exactly ARE these "Republicans" you speak of? Are these the same persons who have been unable and unwilling to protect Trump from political lawfare? And have failed to launch ANY political counterlawsuits? Perhaps they are the ones who are proposing the freedom-ending Restrict Act? Or the ones handling every "investigation" with polite kid gloves, giving equal time to the Stalinists who ran J6?
It's a dilemma for actual justice warriors, who want to restore an equal America. This means that we fight with one hand behind our back according to rules while the other side has no such rules they follow. Pitting a high school football team not just against a pro squad, but a pro squad armed with brass knuckles and knives. It's no contest.
Better would be a temporary DARK MAGA strategy. Yes harvesting and lawfare and undue process are bad, BUT WE USE THEM TEMPORARILY TO RIGHT THE PLAYING FIELD.
It's either that or it's time to get to box #4.
As one commenter noted:
"There are four boxes to use in the freedom fight: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo. They are to be used in that order".
Frederick Douglass quote. He left off the soap. Not sure why,in that time. But whatever, we are at the load magazines point, I fear.
C'mon Ken Paxton, find the friendliest freedomist judge and jury in Texas and immediately file a barrage of lawsuits against GAVIN NEWSOME. Everybody knows he will be their candidate in America's last election
SPOT ON!!
Hereās my comment on the state of the world:
āAnd ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.ā
Amen fortified. Love this passage. Thank you for the reminder!
Hiden is about as good at the art of war as he is at the art of life. In normal times this guy would be charged as a traitor and treated to a military tribunal. But then no way are these times "normal".
Treason should have been wrapped around his neck when he was vp along with Obeyme.
Evil destroys itself eventually and though we must take a stand on truth where we are positive it's is truth we cannot fight against God's eternal Will that has designed a built in justice system not designed by men but carried out by them all for the purpose of exposing the difference between the holy and the unholy. Evil exposed to truth will die like disease in sunlight without a cover.
It's the "eventually" part that keeps me up at night.
Yep, I try to be optimistic but, there is a world of hurt coming and we must all be prepared.

We have been on a very slippery slope.
I'm ready. I'm old, pissed off, pretty much had it, and can still shoot better than most. I might have a few rounds laying about here somewhere. If we do not stop this, by the time the deep state is done getting everything they have ever wanted, we'll just be on defense. I think it's time to go on offense. Are y'all listening? We are coming. We will take you apart. Can't believe I have to actually fight my own government as the worst enemy this nation has ever had.
I believe we must stay nonviolent. We are not just fighting our government here we are fighting the World Economic Forum alliance which includes at this point all nation states. It is still all about their manufacturing our consent at this point. It is our consent which allows them to think they are in control. Violence will hand them the final weapon they desire to be "winner take all".
We shouldn't expect better from an illegitimate government that took power through Election Theft 2020. The speed of it however has been appalling.
This is pretty much what happens at the end of an empire's life and we're living it. Empires don't collapse overnight but we are seeing it. At the end, the American people will still be here though.
YES!!! BINGO. It is the worst enemy!
Fed
I have to disagree. I keep hearing this; "that's just what they want, they want us to respond so they can crack down on us". I got news for them. If tit comes to that, there won't be any "cracking down". And the other thing is, how long do we allow them to walk all over the constitution without putting our foot down. No, I'm sorry sir, but 6Jan should have been a violent bloody revolution where the will of the people was heard once again. Unfortunately the next time it will be worse. Do we let this steaming pile of shit admin get us on our knees? Im not ready for that, and yes,I'd rather die fighting.
Maybe you should take a breath, listen to what GOD has to say about HIS plan and do what HE says to be done. HE tells us plainly to repent, seek HIS face, humble ourselves before HIM and the big one, CHANGE OUR EVIL WAYS. Then HE will heal our land. That means each of us INDIVIDUALLY acknowledge our sins, let go of our egos thinking we have given ourselves everything we have instead of thanking HIM for our blessings, seek HIS counsel and direction AND CHANGE OUR WICKED WAYS by following HIS laws and teachings.
Understand. There are many who feel this will be necessary and are willing to make the sacrifice. They have been trying to force us into a civil war for years now. I do think it is their biggest chance to prevail. There are other ways. As Thomas Paine said (paraphrased) ideas can go where armies cannot. Wars perpetually allow those who own the military industrial complex to win.
"...how long do we allow them to walk all over the constitution without putting our foot down. "
And THAT is a question that deserves an answer.
KW Morton, I assume you meant Biden, not Hiden. I believe he has been charged as a traitor and subjected to a military tribunal. What if what you are seeing is a body double. But, then again, I'm a conspiracy theorist.
Biden/Hiden is a wholly owned subsidiary of the World Economic Forum & associates. They will engage in any deceptions to manufacture our consent & take further control. Body doubles (or Easter Bunnies) are something we already considered as probable. Manchurian Candidate type stuff. It has all been laid out with predictive programming long ago.
Conversation with Musk is priceless.....represents MOST of the left, who literally donāt even know that they donāt even know the first facts of their agenda....they are just zombies bumping around spewing falsehoods and complete BS! Like mad cows, there is literally no use for them, they donāt contribute to the good of our society, they just consume n poop all over at will!
I donāt care too much for Hannity but happened to catch part of his show on the radio yesterday when I was driving somewhere, and this guy called in to blather on about Trump and his crimes etc etc, when Hannity asked him what crimes and if he had even read the indictment, the guy just spouted a bunch of irrelevant nonsense. He had no clue. We need to keep calling people out when they have no idea what theyāre going on about and just repeating taking points.
Yes! Repeating talking points is all they know how to do, and then when anyone dares to call them out on it and asks them to break it down with specific evidence, it's like a deer in headlights as the house of cards comes crashing down (if you can forgive my mixed metaphors).
Take real talent to mix metaphors..... I'm good with it.

Yes. Consider the never trumpers as well. The tons of Christians who refused to vote for him because of his overt indiscretions. This bothered me so much I had to unfollow them. Give me a break. At least he stood for good policy. Look at Biden who probably has way more indiscretions and illegal actions and yet it was hidden. UGH.
It killās me when conservative friends donāt want Pres Trump to run again because of his tweets and how the media hates him. I always point out his accomplishments and that I care about results. They care about style, not results-- at the countryās peril.
Trump is a compromised asset. He needs to step aside.
Trump has his issues but he loves this country and is smarter than all of them. He understands warcraft.
He created the clot shots and says they are effective and good. I don't think so.
I did not know Taiwan is covered up with Fauciās biolabs. That sickens my heart. Seriously, we need to revoke the 16th Amendment, fire ALL of the 3-letter agencies and bureaucrats who are destroying the planet while being paid with Federal tax dollars. Let States care for their own citizens and business. Federal govt needs to be reined in and back to what our Constitution intended.
Amen to everything you said Kim. And that is just the starting point. My God, 1,200 biolabs in Taiwan? Many linked to Hunter Biden-related entities that gave us the Great Plandemic? Anybody that doesn't have a big problem with this is either insane or a shill for the Biden Crime Syndicate.
You still don't know. Fauci is pure evil filth but there's no reason to go bio lab quackery. Just say'in.
Oh there IS every reason, specifically 10 million dead worldwide and counting.
Shroedinger's covid:
It's so deadly because it's a bio weapon but at the same time not worth lock downs, mandatory vaccinations, and mask mandates
It's a cold
Covid didn't kill 10 million.
You sure do trust your government. Wow.
Yes, but not ever bio lab on the planet is incubating a Fauci gain-of-function virus. Paranoia will dee, destroy ya.
We, the American people, DO NOT NEED "bio-labs" in other countries. The only reason the DoD has bio-labs in other countries is because they are hiding something we as Americans want nothing to do with. What does it take to learn this? Really?

āThey prove the Biden Administration is one of the LEAST transparent, most unethical and most undeserving U.S. administrations in history.ā
We are, no doubt at all, morally bankrupt as a nation and reaping the consequences. Lord Almighty, have mercy on us.
To think how proud my mom was of her country and its virtues until she saw the tactics of the democrats back in the Clinton era..That which really upset her: their lies and Saul Alinsky playbook tactics. Then around 9 years ago she saw how the entire country was changing and that the God fearing and believing nature of our nation, which she and I were so proud of to our European relatives was no longer evident.
She was a keen armchair researcher of world politics, on the internet (in her 80s!) and, a woman of great Christian faith and devotion, and right before she passed on to her heavenly home she said to my daughter to pray everyday for her newborn baby because she will be living in evil times.
Good morning Jeffrey,
Praying God's Anointing and Blessings over you and yours! With everything that is going on, all the craziness, all the nastiness, the hatred, the division, the absolute just wrong way of doing life, I mean how we now look at this generation coming up behind us is living! Man's fall, "sin", it is what has gotten all of us who are alive in this hour, this moment, this minute, today! But GOD, it doesn't have to end like this, when we choose to believe in Jesus, accept Him into our hearts, ask forgiveness of our sinful nature, which is born in us, and is in us every day, we have a Redeemer, His Name is Jesus, we Just celebrated Easter with bunnies and colored eggs, but it is really about Jesus Christ, because only through Him can we make Heaven our home. Seriously look up Amir Tsarfati, awesome Author, his book, Has the Tribulation Began? Great book for believers, and for those needing answers. We are not promised our next breath here on earth, but if you ask Jesus into your heart and believe, really, truly believe that He is the Christ, and that He died for you, today like the thief on the cross, you can make Heaven your home. God's Power,Anointing, and Authority over you all.
"Taiwan reportedly hosts over 1,200 biolabs, many linked to Hunter Biden-related entities ā even more labs than Ukraine." ... will be interesting to see if any of these deep-state labs hatch the next Plandemic. Are there any cities in Taiwan that rhyme with Wuhan?
1200 !!! ? It has become obvious that this was the major reason we got involved in Ukraine and NOW Taiwan ! Our DOD funded GAIN OF FUNCTION research has to STOP.
Oh boy, now all China has to do to get you idiots abandoning allies is to claim bio labs somehwere.
Ukraine is not an ally and never will be. They are nothing but a money laundering operation and a proxy war tool used by our corrupt government and deep state .
Facts run counter to your statement, neocon.
Ukraine went to Afghanistan and Iraq to help the USA.
Oh please, not the diarrhea one!
Then you will *really* see a toilet paper shortage!!
Heading to the store now . . .

There are bio labs in Russia and China too, are you on the first plane to fight China?
There must be some Rumble-based hypnosis program being used. All you have to say is "bio labs" and the quackery program self-installs and runs automatically. It's uncanny, like a sequel to Jack London's "Call of the Wild" to a modern day, "Call of the Qtard." š±š¤£šø

Hersh is an avowed communist. Are you saying he's trustworthy when nothing he says can be verified?
BTN,
Hersh has previously written too many "spot-on" works to so simply discount this piece. I don't go for communistic leanings but, I think integrity transcends that gap. My friend, only time will tell.

LOL right, no response. If there is anything that gets cued up automatically it is the neocon narrative.
If we donāt start catching some breaks, I believe this countryās best day are behind us. Bidenās incompetence is overwhelming, hysterical women and rebellious kids are running this administration. If we continue to make policy surrounding this profound stupidity we are doomed.
I told my 14 yo daughter about the law someone proposed to end participation awards. I think the law is silly but her response was priceless. She huffed a laugh and said "well, no one will get anything then." I told her in my day, you earned a trophy and you participated for fun. I then explained how we are reaping the "everyone gets a trophy catastrophe."
šš¤š her response was priceless! Smart girl. Thanks for sharing. Your story reminded me of one of our daughters, when she was 3-4 thought she wanted to play soccer like her two older siblings, I'd just had 4th child, so normally when we'd say 3-4 was too young for organized sports, we thought her wanting to play would be good for her "adjustments" to not being the baby anymore... Fast-forward ā©: final game day, she gets a participation trophy (she usually just stood on the field, too shy to go after the ball or anything) and this child CHUCKED her trophy into the trash on our way out!! She said something along the lines of: it means nothing if every single player on every team gets a trophy for showing up. šÆšÆš¤£šš¤
Really smart kid there!
Maybe her take was from the perception that none are worthy. Children have the ability to perceive that which we lose with age.
Actually, she participates on what I call a "recreational" competitive gymnastics team. It is for kids who supposedly want more than rec and just going to the gym an hour a week but aren't serious enough to travel. They have a monthly meet in the spring. She complains weekly that most of the kids in her class "do nothing" and says their parents must be using it for babysitting. They've had 3 meets and she has won the all around every time, even with a sprained ankle once. Everyone gets a medal for every event just for participating, the medals are all the same, too. They do call out the places at the awards ceremony so 1st, 2nd and 3rd get to stand on the podium. The all around 1st place gets a trophy, that is the only trophy given. So, she understands that trophy is more special than those medals.
Good for her and you both. She is learning a valuable lesson
Yeup. I say this all the time. Also I believe it hugely contributes to young people unable to cope and unleashing when someone ādoesnāt like themā ā¦. and then go nutzo on a school!
Very recently had a conversation (family member, sadly) and - to the surprise of no one reading here - it is angrily, vehemently stated that ALL of the USA's woes fall directly in the lap of those "ignorant, lying Republicans"; and it is the fault of FoxNews and Tucker Carlson, who lie, cheat and deceive; and of course, the "worst day in the history of the US - Jan. 6"........... oh yes, and DeSantis is pond scum.
The firm conviction with which this was spewed at me was of some surprise - the anger behind it all caught me off guard.
And this from the person who firmly suggested in past conversations that the US's "divisiveness" was caused by Trump. But, of course !
We have some of those members in our fam, who share very similar opinions & perspectives. It's a backwards world. Twilight Zone. š³ļø š¤”
My mom thinks itās a law that I watch Fox News. I see occasional clips on other platforms.
And theyāre always really angry when they spew .
Interesting. I think it was not so many years ago that emotional self-control was expected of all adults--and one looked down on those who lacked it? The guys who fight in the bar....
I had a similar occurrence this weekend with my older cousin (60 yr old). I personally think they (GOP and Dem politicians and media) are all corrupt, so in the past I could find *some* common ground with my cousin, but not this weekend. He supported Bernie in 2016, so I thought he might follow the path of Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi and others who point out leftist media lies on RussiaGate, Ukraine, Pandemic, Jan 6... Nope. He's in the camp of older people who largely still get their media from the TV.
But the level of sheer anger and rage shocked me. I usually just listen to what he says in a state of disbelief and don't try to counter what he is saying with any argument. (imho, these people cannot be reasoned with) So when he exploded, his anger wasn't directed toward me, it was directed at his stepmother who has been married to my Uncle for the past 35 years. My uncle had the locks changed on their house the next day - that's how bad the explosion was.
You are right. It's not Trump causing this divisiveness. But the anger that is being built up in these people is so general, from this experience, when it reaches the tipping point, it can be directed at anyone.
Honestly, I believe that level of anger is demonic. The enemy has stolen any peace and replaced it with hatred, and the person is completely blind to it. And theyāre everywhere. Spiritual warfare šš»
By any chance, is your cousin jabbed? It can affect the brain...
So is being in the lockdown and state of emergency for 3 years, so is masking and constant panic from listening/watching mainstream media
Yes. I suspect he wore his mask in the shower. He had terrible maskne (breakout) from wearing his N95 constantly. I know he was vaxxed and likely got every booster recommended to him.
Imho, the media causes this. Liberal media talks about conservatives as if we're human garbage.
The indoctrination of family is quite sad. Have seen it but this posture you illustrate is truly the sign when someone has little critical thinking ability. Fox is not the end all to anything, Tucker on the whole has a very good staff doing great work and DeSantis is a Trump-lite imitator.
The Left relies on division to advance its agenda. Biden is a mere demented puppet used by them as we've seen with the transgender mental illness promotion.
It is sad - on ALL counts.
It's a tough job, being perfect....... yet somehow, Lefties have figured it out. Just ask 'em.
I've cut people like this out of my life and have not looked back. Don't get me wrong, I'll be civil if I happen to cross paths with them but otherwise no contact other than perhaps a Christmas card.
I don't understand why people feel obligated to include such angry people in their lives. Like most here I have strong political beliefs but have the good sense to keep things in perspective and not shoot my mouth off. People who cannot control themselves and ruin family get togethers with unhinged rants (either left-wing or right-wing) really are the worst sort of angry, insufferable, selfish louts. They care so little about the feelings of others that they'll go out of their way to cause division and anger within their own family!
Good riddance, come back when you learn some manners. And this isn't aimed just at the left, there are plenty of obnoxious Trump supporters who don't seem to understand the meaning of there's a time and a place. Life isn't a twitter flame war.
Life is too short to associate with people hell-bent on stealing your joy and making you as miserable as they are. You can control who is in your life, you'll be much happier if you exclude miserable people from it.
These types have anger issues & more. They know ātheir guyā has mucked it up royally, & had counted on enjoying utopia once rid of Trump.
Maybe secretly they now know Trump held the fragments of our society together but will never admit it. Oh the conundrum of realizing oneās enemy governed better than oneās friend (& fave uncle)!
I do not believe that they "know their guy has mucked it up royally" ..... maybe a few - but most are, I believe - out of their minds, for lack of a better evaluation, lol.
Of course...Orange Man Bad!
Sun obscured by clouds - blame Trump.
I get similar from some of my family members. One threatened to cut me off from future grandchildren just because (at least I think) he saw some Trump swag on my counter. I was not a Trump supporter but had attended an event where it was passed out. No questions, no discussion, assumptions and then anger/hatred. They really don't see the projection of their own small mindedness and prejudices onto those of us who are more free thinking and open.
Amazing how well "our evil" has been marketed, don't you think? 'Anti-vaxxers' spreading 'misinformation'' and thereby endangering Grandma and everyone else.....
Fabulous job, brought to you by Pfizer, et al.
Tiresome, frustrating as hell.
Are they aware the Democrats are in control and have been? Last I checked, we still have a Democrat President "Lying, Hiding Biden".
wow
No less unpalatable, imho.
