I was thinking about that Ukrainian SS guy honored by Canada’s parliament. First off, my bet is that hardly anyone in the parliament had the foggiest notion of who fought who in Eastern Europe in WWII. For most of them – as for most in the West – there is just a vague sense that the Nazis were bad and that anyone defined as bad must be a Nazi. Probably not one in a thousand adults in the West today could even identify a particular Nazi program – and I include the anti-Semitism because do keep in mind that anti-Semitism is rapidly rising on the Left and in the schools the Holocaust is discounted in favor of various Woke programs (bet money that the kids in school have heard vastly more about George Floyd of Fentanyl than they have about the Holocaust over the past couple years). So, no surprise that a member of the Waffen-SS was honored – all they heard is that he was Ukrainian and had fought Russians. But then I thought further: even if you explained Nazi ideology to them, could the determine what makes it bad?
Because what, really, did the Nazis do that a modern Leftist would object to? The only thing I can think of is: jail homosexuals. And even that wasn’t a specifically Nazi thing: German law had long held harsh penalties for those convicted of homosexual acts (as did most nations in the world back then). Hitler, indeed, was very tolerant of it. And that goes to another thing the Left would have a problem processing: Hitler was an anti-Christian Bohemian. He didn’t believe in working for a living. Kept odd hours and odd habits. Was a crank in his personal habits (no smoking, no drinking, vegetarian). Shave off that mustache and give him a Che t-shirt and Hitler would fit in at Antifa meetings. The bottom line is that nothing the Nazis did is actually objectionable to the modern Left.
Heck, I’ve even seen a recent Leftist presentation which presents white people as insects sucking the blood out of non-whites. You know: we’re vermin. Just as Nazis described Jews. It really doesn’t surprise once you do think about it: people who have cut themselves off from God and who have started to worship themselves are the very definition of Supermen (that word confuses Americans with our Superman comics – but what is meant by the word is a person who holds themself unbound to any system of morality and who follow their own star without any thought to how it might affect others).
This is a real problem: we’re dealing with the amoral. If we were dealing with merely greedy or cruel people it would be a lot easier for us…but what we’re dealing with is people who are convinced they are morally excellent when they have no morality at all. This makes them very dangerous – and deadly to us if they win.
Elon Musk went to the border and it went viral – mostly because he’s a famous billionaire who owns the premier social media platform in the world. But the shrieks of hatred from the Left were amazing. Do keep in mind that most independents and all Democrats have no real idea what has been going on at the border. The news doesn’t cover it, so they just don’t know. Musk going brought it for the first time before huge numbers of people…and the video coming out of Border Patrol agents cutting the border wire and fist-bumping the illegals as they crossed is absolutely devastating for the Democrats. If Musk really keeps X as a free speech platform (and he recently fired X’s “election integrity team” when he discovered it was essentially working for the DNC) then what happens next year might be very surprising. The Democrats are bad people doing bad things and making life miserable. Forget Democrat rumors that they’re going to scratch Biden…if the truth really gets out, it doesn’t matter who the GOP and Democrat candidates are…the GOP will walk away with it no matter how much the Democrats try to cheat. Do keep in mind: the MSM hasn’t really reported the truth in general since 1980…and by telling the truth – even as they hated doing it – all they got was a landslide Democrat loss. Since then and increasingly since 2000 the MSM has relentlessly lied for the Democrats. Break that down, and 1980 can happen again.
It was recently reported that Hunter Biden rented new digs (he’s mostly been living at the White House and the Biden estate in Delaware of late): a $15,800 per month house in Malibu, CA. If true – and it probably is – just where in heck is he coming up with that amount of money?
Government might shut down. None of us care.

The Democrats are bad people doing bad things and making life miserable. Forget Democrat rumors that they’re going to scratch Biden…if the truth really gets out, it doesn’t matter who the GOP and Democrat candidates are…the GOP will walk away with it no matter how much the Democrats try to cheat.
From your lips to God’s ears.
If only, but this sounds like a big helping of hopium.
Without a plan, without a coherent strategy that ties in all elements on the Right, without a VOICE to the nation, it’s just wishful thinking.
“IF the truth gets out…”
That is THE problem. We’re standing in a big woods with trees falling all around us, shouting at the top of our lungs through a giant megaphone, and not another soul within 1,000 miles.
I think the real problem is that each of us is shouting through a tiny megaphone when what we need is a giant megaphone.
I always seem to see talk of the problems, and seldom if ever talk of solutions
I often say when it’s my turn to run the universe I am going to make all microwaves work the same way so I can heat up a cup of coffee without looking like an idiot. So play the “When it’s my turn to be in charge” game. ( I may have to recuse myself from this as we all know I am already the Boss Of Everything.) But till I get kicked out, if I had any authority, I would:
(1) Do a study to get a grasp of how many people vote for Democrats because of a belief in or commitment to the Leftist model of governance. We do love us our polls, so do some polls. BIG polls. Poll registered Democrats with questions like the ones I pose here: “Do you think the country is better governed by consolidating power in the hands of a few or keeping more authority in the states or local government?” A handful of questions like that would give a reading on the true POLITICAL positions of Democrats.
(2) Stop our tendency to paint all Democrat voters with the same broad brush and then give up on all of them. If we get a better idea of how many are just Legacy Dems with no real allegiance to the core political model of the party, or better yet whose core political beliefs are antithetical to the party but they just don’t realize it because they haven’t examined the party, we know who to target and how. It’s basic MARKETING, people! We are basically trying to sell steaks to PETA. We need to understand the market. For instance, supposedly about 15% of those polled right after the election said if they had known the truth about the Hunter laptop they would have voted differently. So we find out what, exactly, would have changed their minds? The degeneracy, the hints at Joe’s involvement in selling access (because at that time most of the real data had not come out) or what? What bothers some Dems about the party? About Biden? About the direction the nation is going? About the border? FOCUS!
Find out what matters to them. Supposedly the biggest issue is the economy. So put together that list I mentioned, call it The Blueprint for Destroying an Economy, and then have a list of ways these things have been done in the past three years. This is the kind of thing that has more impact when seen than heard. Then do mass mailings (see my point # 3.) Do a great, colorful, catchy graphic for the face of a big glossy postcard and do the list on the back, and mail to target Dem demographics. Then, in few weeks, do a Blueprint for Destroying Liberty. Then, in a few weeks, A Blueprint for Destroying our Elections.
(3) We beat the crap out of the GOP/RNC and tell them to lead or get out of the way. We demand that they fund a coordinated information campaign, and we make it clear that we demand their leadership in getting all GOP candidates on the same page, with the same messaging. That includes abandoning the tactic of attacking the opponent as a person and shifting to attacking the system the opponent represents. This is actually a more efficient way of using campaign dollars, as the same information can be used, to a great extent, in every campaign from statehouse to Congress. So we get the national organization to generate coherent themes for the whole election cycle, generate talking points and make sure that every candidate gets the memos, so in a certain time period, for example, every interview with every Republican makes fun of Identity Politics, in one way or another. When someone is put down for “not being likable” every single Republican should be saying, on every TV show, in every interview, something to the effect of “why should that matter”? “What is this, third grade?” “Would you choose a brain surgeon because of his skill, or because he tells great jokes at parties?” Then we move to a different cycle of coordinated messaging—assumption of dictatorial powers by the president, the problems of using federal agencies to crush political opposition (citing Stalin, never Hitler) and so on. A whole cycle on controlling how people feel by simply redefining words.
We live in a society in which this tactic is illustrated to us every single day. Every time we turn on our computers we are inundated with the same message from the same company, over and over again. Do they think we didn’t see it the first thousand times? No, their research has shown them that the more they repeat it the more effect it has. The Left knows this. We laugh at the fact that the talking heads in the Agenda Media read from the same script, but they do this because the Left is good at marketing. We, on the other hand, have no plan, no coordinated message, and everyone wants to be the boss with his own strategy, so the Republicans look like we are driving bumper cars while the Left whizzes past us on the track.
We don’t need a big media voice, as much as it would help, if we could figure out how to maximize the ones we have, like guest slots on Leftist shows.
And we need to do an end run around the control the Left has on the media. I think we should start a mass mailing campaign. You know those big glossy post cards we get trying to sell us stuff? We look at them, because they catch our attention, and sometimes we even read them, even if we don’t want solar panels or need cremation services. So do market research, pick a target market, put together a simple message that has nothing to do with a candidate (such as simplified version of the VDH piece listing the ways our liberty has been eroded) and mail out a few thousand of them.
I think more people than we know are seeing the truth. The manufactured crisis’s and the dishonesty of Democrats is being noticed and people are waking up. Covid was a manufactured pandemic, Jan 6 was a manufactured “insurrection”, the 2020 election was a manufactured win, the trans movement is a manufactured movement, the Ukraine war is a manufactured war of choice, and of course climate change is the greatest manufactured hoax of all time. Everything is fake and a lie. People are noticing, we just have to keep pointing it out.
Pointing it out in an organized way, so it forms a coherent pattern in those minds instead of just floating around as random ideas.
I think we should start with a few topics that are most likely to be well received, such as the use of federal agencies to spy on and punish political opponents and the assumed authority of one man to shut down the whole country with edicts including forcing people to take a drug or lose their jobs or ability to travel.
I think we need to avoid using volatile words, because they tend to have immediate rejection reactions, and keep to unemotional and purely objective statements of fact, and let people connect their own dots. I agree with everything you said, but also think your presentation would result in being rejected and ignored because of the volatility of your words. Presenting a conclusion is never as effective as presenting facts that lead people to their own conclusions. And some topics are, for now, third-rail topics you just don’t want to touch till they calm down a little, like the whole “trans” scam.
You have so many great ideas. Have you ever shared them with someone who actually has the power to implement them. I realize Harriet Hageman is just a freshman congresswoman, but, given your personal relationship, she’d be a great place to start.
Thanks so much for the comment, Spook. I think that I am like a lot of people who, like me, have had to solve a lot of problems and learned the technique of just whittling down a big problem till we get to a size we can deal with, and starting there.
I don’t think Congress can do much when it comes to the kinds of marketing approaches I mentioned. I think that falls into the realm of party administration, and ours is sadly lacking in vision and leadership.
Always – and it really does depend on how the GOP does it next year; whether it is DeSantis or Trump. Our biggest weakness right now is ourselves with GOPers arguing we have to fund the government because if we don’t, the border won’t be secured! They’re actually accusing MAGA of being weak on the border! I’ve pointed out to them that the Border Patrol is cutting the wire and fist-bumping the illegals as they cross…so defunding the government and furloughing Border Patrol would actually secure the border because it would allow Abbott to work without Border Patrol sabotage. But that nutshells our problem – a lot of the GOP is actually in favor of Democrat policies and so, naturally, is not inclined to attack Democrats. But if we get the right GOPers running things then we can take advantage of X and get the message out better than any time in the last 40 years.
I just posted, in the last thread, a comment that if we were to make a list of ways to destroy this country we could go over it and check of nearly every single item as accomplished or in process due to the Biden/Obama administration.
One thing I did not include was the . We have noted the fact that the “families” we have been instructed to accommodate so they can “just have better lives” have really tended to be young men, but now we have groups coming in that look very military.
Never Mind Those Hordes of Military-Aged Chinese Men With the Same Clothing, Haircuts, and Tattoos Swarming Our Southern Border
We have learned that intel officials and the CBP are allegedly well aware that China is sending special ops intruders over our border and the pinko press is diligently denying it. Chinese people appear to be using the Darien Gap to make their way to the U.S. in record numbers and military-aged men with the same haircuts, tattoos, and clothing are pouring over the border. Iran and Hezbollah are believed to have sleeper cells standing by. Joe Biden is allowing all of this to happen. What could go wrong?
The Chinese would have to be a lot stupider than I think they are to not take advantage. To have within the USA at any given time significant numbers of their troops – obviously special forces-trained troops – able to carry out pre-planned acts of sabotage in case of a conflict with the USA is a huge military and psychological advantage. And it isn’t like you have to keep them here forever…you can cycle them through…and given the way things work in the USA right now, it is Uncle Sam footing the food and housing costs of keeping them within the USA.
I am absolutely confident that if war comes with China, the first thing we’ll notice is that our power goes out and major transportation hubs are destroyed in commando raids. It wouldn’t finish us off…but it would cripple our response and by the time we get our act together then China will have already seized Taiwan and anything else they wanted. Then it becomes a matter of do we want to expend a million lives getting them out of it?
Have you read the predictions of the loss of life if the electrical grid were to shut down? A total shutdown for just a few days would result in hundreds of thousands of deaths. Even a partial shutdown would be easy to do.
Way back when, we had the big East Coast blackout that turned out to be one poorly maintained electrical substation was overwhelmed by demand during a heat wave so it shut down and shifted its load to the next station. Which, already under heavy demand, couldn’t handle it and shut down and shifted both loads to the next substation, and so on. The map that was eventually produced of the domino effect of these stations sequentially being overwhelmed and shutting down showed a trail from the origin (in the Midwest, if I remember correctly) all the way into Eastern Canada and then back down the East Coast.
Even back then it occurred to me how easy it would be to research the energy flow from one station to another and then have a coordinated attack on the lead station in each chain, recreating that domino effect across the country. Low-tech, not calling for much more than a few good shots with high powered guns.
Talking about this years later to a friend who is an executive in an electrical co-op I learned not only would this be easy, that some transformers have been disabled by rifle shots, but that it takes months —close to a year sometimes—to get a new transformer built. AND THEY ARE BUILT IN CHINA! There’s no warehouse of transformers sitting there ready to be switched out with damaged ones. They are built to order.
A string of mysterious attacks on power stations across the U.S. has rekindled fears about the vulnerabilities of America’s electricity infrastructure, which security officials have warned presents a growing target to extremists and saboteurs.
Attacks and suspicious activity at U.S. power stations reached a decade-long high last year, with more than 100 reported incidents in the first eight months of 2022, according to a TIME review of the Department of Energy’s most recent data, which runs through August. Since then, there have been at least 18 more publicly reported attacks or potential attacks on substations and power plants in Florida, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, and Washington.
Then blow up a few of the big truck stops along the interstates to shut down delivery of crucial material as well as inhibit military travel on the interstates (which were, after all, designed to aid military mobility in case of war) and we would be sitting ducks.
One of our most powerful Senators had a close 20-year relationship with a Chinese spy, who was her “driver” but many say also a friend and confidante. Given the large amount of business done by phone as officials travel by car, being the driver of a Senator serving on, among other committees, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence would be a valuable intelligence source for a spy.
(The Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, established in 1975, has oversight responsibility for the 16 civilian and military agencies and departments that make up the U.S. Intelligence Community.)
China recruits spies inside the United States, including members of our military. In August, two Navy sailors were arrested for passing sensitive military information to Chinese intelligence.
One of the sailors was still a Chinese citizen when he enlisted in the Navy, making him a prime target for Chinese intelligence officers, who falsely believe that every individual of Chinese ethnic descent owes a duty of loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party.
China also sends operatives to penetrate our military bases. They pose as wayward tourists so they can test security procedures and learn how to circumvent defenses in a future crisis.
These reports of human espionage come on the heels of news that Chinese hackers have penetrated the networks of U.S. critical infrastructure, giving China the ability to cripple power, water, and communications to American military bases in a time of crisis.
And just a few days earlier, press reports exposed a web of covert Chinese efforts to influence American politics flowing through left-wing activist groups such as Code Pink.
Another Senator on the Intelligence Committee had a long sexual relationship with another Chinese spy.
If every individual of Chinese ethnic descent owes a duty of loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party then this is a declaration that every individual of Chinese descent is under the jurisdiction of China and therefore the children of these parents are not considered American citizens under the 14th Amendment.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. If the parents are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, their children are not citizens. Period.
Of course, this is also true of any children born to any foreign national who is not a citizen of the United States and therefore under its jurisdiction. But it appears that China is emphasizing this.
Here’s the type of people we are dealing with … people like Steve Schmidt. Watch the video below because it is a perfect illustration what Mark spoke of …
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/09/watch-repulsive-lincoln-project-founder-steve-schmidt-gets/
Schmidt has an “opinion” that in his mind is FACT and anyone who challenges him, is an asshole, a conspiracy theorist, or whatever insult they can think of. They can never admit that they are wrong, or that other valid opinions even exist because to them, they care more than anyone else, they’re smarter than most others, and they acknowledge no higher power other then themselves and the secular leaders they follow. As Mark said, these are dangerous and deadly characteristics and most of them will gladly die on the hill that they have constructed. Our decision will be, do we sacrifice them at their own secular alter … and at some point, for purely preservation reasons, that answer will have to be yes. These evil and destructive people can not be allowed to continue much longer.
As Mark said, these are dangerous and deadly characteristics and most of them will gladly die on the hill that they have constructed.
I’d even be willing to help them along on the path to the down elevator.
I’ll be right beside you
Do you suppose it will come as a shock to people like Steve Schmidt when they finally come to the realization that they ended up on the wrong side of history?
Nah, because people like that never will. They are like the Japanese who kept fighting WW Two on their little islands, or the neo-Nazis hoping to revive the Reich.
Do you think trolls like forty will ever admit this? That kind of commitment to lies and spite and malice are not rooted in the kind of objective thinking that can change when faced with facts. It’s really just the face of inner mental illness, a rot that poisons the mind and seeks expression, which is always focused on attacking someone.
What’s absurd is your reluctance to hold the people who actually did the violence accountable and that would be the FBI. But go on. You are losing voters in droves.
Thanks for proving my point. You have such an incurious mind it’s laughable and are most definitely a product of Americas teacher unions.
There’s no reason for me to duplicate all the testimony, witness accounts, and video evidence for you. Why would I do that? It’s already public knowledge and I don’t give a f**k if you want to read it. That’s your choice. Just stay stupid, it’s easier.
Are you messing with forty again? I keep telling you, you just don’t want to wrestle with a pig. You can’t do it without getting as dirty as the pig is, and besides, the pig likes it.
If forty is really challenging you to provide evidence for the infiltrations and incitements of J6 he is very clearly trying to drag you into one of his interminable bickerfests, and get some clicks at the same time. You can reward him all you want, if this floats your boat, but even my cat will refuse to chase a string sometimes.
One of the best essays I’ve ever read about propaganda.
As far as I can see and it’s not that far, is that a lot of people are still seeing what faces us as something that can be reasoned with. Forget it. Flowery words and a massive intellect, yes Amazona, I am talking about you mainly, is not going to change anything.
Plain and simple. This is good versus evil. It’s a binary choice. God is making us choose sides. You cannot reason your way out of a trip to hell.
Either you know HIM or you don’t. I would prefer everyone knew HIM. If you need help knowing who “HIM” is. Just ask.
I might be a bit off but I’m not that off.
Fine, Tim. Lay it out. You’ve covered the talking points—good v evil, need God, choose sides. Got it. Got it every time it came around. Agreed every time. Never argued it.
So, now you can go on to Step Two. Forget the snide snark about “flowery words” and just get to the heart of your plan. How are you going to implement the change you keep telling is is necessary?
I’ll risk another “flowery words” snipe and point out that you are simply leaping to a conclusion. I have never said, ever, that words will make bad people good. There has never been a single syllable in anything I have said to indicate a belief that reason will change the hearts of those who are evil. So take that little straw man home and put him to bed, because he isn’t doing any good here.
I have made two points. One is that I don’t believe that everyone whose actions (votes) support the evil that is the Left do so because of a thoughtful, objective, analytical decision that this is the best political model for governing the nation. Sorry if I haven’t found enough different ways to phrase that. I’ve certainly tried.
I believe that the people who vote Dem for reasons other than true ideology—that is, Legacy Dems whose families always did, they always did, and they just don’t really think about it, that is people who want to be good but who believe that Donald Trump and/or Republicans ARE the evil they hate, that is people who just “know” what they are told by the Agenda Media—-are not evil. Misguided, perhaps even stupid, but not evil.
(You get all judgmental and say well, the guy driving the getaway car at a bank robbery might not have been the one to pull the trigger, but he’s still guilty of murder if someone is killed in the robbery. There are all sorts of justifications for lumping everyone into a single category and then labeling it. I just don’t agree.)
You have clearly missed my observation that the Left’s biggest lure is its message that it offers a shortcut to the Higher Moral Ground. Therefore, many if not most if not all who aspire to the Higher Moral Ground do so because they want to do good and be good. They have just been deceived into following the wrong path. They have been deceived into accepting a false definition of “good” and “evil”.
(You may have run across references to the Great Deceiver. And you may even have seen a comment or two on the powers of redemption, when people realize they have been deceived and choose to turn toward the light. You may even have heard of Someone who reached out to the deceived, offering a different path, instead of merely condemning them for their errors.)
I believe that some of THESE people can be swayed by the truth, because I don’t believe they support the Left as proof that they know and reject the truth. You can drag out that big old broad brush and paint every single Dem voter as EVILEVILEVIL but I think that is foolish and, simply, wrong.
Then I get to the second point I try to make, which is that we don’t have to change the hearts of the truly evil who mastermind this whole thing. It would be great if we could, but that is not our job. Our job is to deprive them of the means to execute their evil. That means to take away their power. They will still be evil. They will still plot and scheme to regain power. I have never suggested trying to change them.
So you can sit on your high horse and look down on those of us who simply strive to limit the power of evil by appealing to the better nature of SOME of those who have been deceived by it, because after all SHOULDN’T the perfect be the enemy of the good? Why bother to try to merely contain evil, instead of preaching how it should be destroyed?
So…back to my question. Now that you have dismissed “flowery words” (though thanks, I guess, for what might have been a compliment) what do you offer as an alternative?
YCMTSU
Largest EV Charging Station In World Powered By Diesel-Powered Generators
Not just that, but Energy analyst and writer David Blackmon, author of the “Energy Transition Absurdities,” told Cowboy State Daily that the use of diesel-powered generators is not limited to the Harris Ranch station.
He used to shop at a Whole Foods in Houston. The company had installed a charging station in front of the store for its customers.
“It was the best parking spot in the lot, and it crowded out a bunch of handicap spaces,” Blackmon said.
He said there were diesel generators behind the store and whenever someone was using the chargers, the generators would kick on.
The amount of energy the new Panasonic EV battery facility needs is so high, in fact, that a representative from Evergy, the public utility serving the factory, testified before the Kansas City Corporation Commission that there are serious ‘near-term challenges from a resource adequacy perspective.’
Put another way, the Panasonic EV battery factory in De Soto is an energy hog of epic proportions. As such, Evergy says it will have to continue burning coal at a nearby power plant in Lawrence that was previously slated to eventually transition to natural gas production.
Despite the overwhelming video and testimonial evidence of the FBI’s involvement in Jan 6, including these recent revelations below, morons like Forty will ignore facts and direct their hate to those who they politically oppose. There are no principles involved, only hate and fear …
“It appears that the government itself is the author of the most incriminating and damning document in this case, which was mysteriously sent at government request to Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio immediately prior to January 6 in order to frame or implicate Tarrio in a government- created scheme to storm buildings around the Capitol. As such, Exhibit 528-1 and the government’s efforts to frame or smear defendants with it, constitutes outrageous government conduct. This is either entrapment or outrageous government conduct, or both. Equally improper, it is a Brady violation because the Department of Justice must surely have known these revelations before putting Special Agent Dubrowski on the stand on February 9 to introduce this evidence.”
I also want to turn the narrative around here for a bit and put the onus on Democrats. They need to know that in order for their agenda to succeed, they will have to kill people like me. Do you think you’ll do it?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/10/now-there-is-evidence-fbi-planned-january-6/
The document itself reads like something a wannabe novelist might have sketched out as part of an effort to write a book about a government takeover. In other words, about what we have come to expect from the finest law enforcement/intelligence agencies in the world //sarc off
It’s hard to believe how politically corrupt the FBI and CIA have become, and it’s equally hard to believe how so many people still think they’re honest.
I love this …
Newsom to Appoint Abortion Activist Laphonza Butler to Fill Feinstein’s Senate Seat – Who Lives In Maryland and Registered to Vote There Last Year
A black lesbian who has never held office gets the nod over long time loyal CA Democrats who actually live in the State, This tells you right here that Democrats are not a political party, they are a mafia
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/10/newsom-appoint-laphonza-butler-president-emilys-list-fill/
Gruesome Newsom seems to think he’s got the Calipornia vote in the bag so he doesn’t even have to pretend to represent the state any more
Now we know why DiFi clung to office – she wanted her boy Schiff to get it but Newsom had other ideas.
Poor little Adam – he doesn’t know that when it is time for goodies to be passed out, straight, white males at the back of the bus. All those years of lying for the Party and being completely servile to its dictates…all just a waste of time.
And for us it doesn’t matter who get it. No matter who is installed in the office they will be just a mindless vote for the Democrat leadership; and not even the public leadership…the behind-the-scenes people (mostly made up of Team Clinton and Team Obama people) who really rule the roost. She will, like DiFi, make sure her family and friends get on the gravy train and return for her slavish devotion to orders she will now rise ever higher in the socio-economic system.
I hope Trump pulls out of NY entirely taking his money and jobs with him to FL. Let the ugly racist black bitch destroy NY. That would be fun to watch
A New York judge on Tuesday canceled the certificates of the key businesses behind Donald Trump’s empire, ordering a quick timeline to dissolve the Trump Organization and other corporate entities.
Okey-dokey. Time for a multi-billion dollar lawsuit for damages related to the forced liquidation of assets. That would include reduced value of those assets due to the demand for forced liquidation, loss of income and loss of opportunity.
I’d file now, based on current revenues and appraised values of assets (real appraised value, of course, not some rinky-dink little tyrant judge) and then amend the suit weekly or monthly to add to the amount of damages.
At the same time I would buy newspaper coverage, at least a half sheet, with a chart showing the potential tax loss to the city and the state if the Trump businesses were to be shut down and/or moved, and the cost of fighting the lawsuits from Trump even if the damages are not eventually awarded.
Your average New Yorker is probably not aware of the revenue losses as businesses flee the city, so tell them. And add the revenue losses associated with Trump being forced out. Surely some high school sophomore in a computer class could put together a great graphic showing current tax revenue losses, projected losses if Trump is forced out, and on the other side of the equation how much money the city and state have spent to prosecute him, how much money it will cost to defend against his suits, and how much money it is spending to support illegal aliens and criminals.
Ask the simple questions: Where do you think the money comes from, and Do you know where it is going?
He owns Trump Tower—make it a billboard. Put up a Jumbotron or a few, and play these graphics nonstop, on the building. If there was ever a chance to shift from defense to offense, this is it.
Curious if Jamaal Bowman will be held accountable for his insurrection …
Short answer – NO, he has a D after his name.
And he is the right color.
I’m telling you folks, the tide is turning … the silent majority is there, it’s just that the media is silent about the majority
– Voters are now more likely to see the Republican Party as capable of governing, tackling big issues and keeping the country safe compared with the Democratic Party.
– By a 9-point margin, voters also see the Democratic Party as more ideologically extreme than the GOP.
– The trends against the Democratic Party are largely driven by worsening perceptions among its own voter base, which suggests that the party will have to rely more than ever on negative partisanship to keep control of the White House.

As I said the other day, it all depends on how many people believe things have gotten so bad that the only solution is to change who controls the country. I thought we were at that point in 2022, and I was wrong. But you’re right, there are starting to be more and more articles like the one you linked to. When NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, FNC, the NYT, WAPO and LAT start to agree, then I’ll believe the light at the end of the tunnel is daylight and not an oncoming train.
I guess the question is, is the Right capable of recognizing this and helping it along? Because in all of the verbiage I see coming from the Right, it seems to be focused on PEOPLE on the Left, and not on the ACTIONS of the Left. It amazes me that we see so little (as in no) attention paid to the fact that the entire country was shut down because of the decisions made in the Oval Office. (We can go along with the fantasy that they were made by Joe Biden, who was probably just looking for his pudding cup till presented with an Executive Order to sign, but we still had this all happen under the name and signature of one man.)
Why aren’t we making a big deal out of (1) the fact that the Left assumed the power to shut down the country, (2) assumed the power to limit our freedom to travel, (3) assumed the power to force people out of their jobs and military positions if they did not submit to federal edicts and (4) did this without Congressional legislation or even oversight?
If the shift in Democrat support is based on the perception that the party is “more ideologically extreme” then why aren’t we building on that very accurate perception?
For the moment, I think our lack of a clear message is due to the on-going Trump vs DeSantis battle. Nobody is quite sure how that will come out so everyone is being wary for fear of alienating either side. Combine this with the fact that a least a large portion of the GOP leadership is pro-Democrat and it makes for drift.
Once we get our nominee then a very sharp message will resonate.
DeSantis is putting out clear messages but they are not being reported by the pro-Trump media. And no matter how much these media push anti-Trump messaging they still want him to be the nominee, so they stifle all news about DeSantis. As Trump is so far ahead and supposedly has no real opponent, he shouldn’t be shy about clear messaging. No one so dependent on Identity Politics trash-talking about opponents can hide behind a claimed fear of “alienating” the other side.
I was thinking more of the general GOP; but, yes, DeSantis is talking specifics into the void as the MSM clearly doesn’t want him to rise.
What would you like “clear messaging” to address?
Daniel Horowitz at the Blaze makes a strong argument for why the real problem is the Republican Party.
Something that’s really flying under everyone’s radar; financial markets are in a pretty significant decline in the last two weeks. The DJIA, the S&P500 and the NASDAQ are all off around 5%, Gold is off 6%, and silver is off nearly 10%. Something’s going on.
I’m noticing a lot of things going south as gasoline here in Vegas crests $5.29 a gallon.
I miss the $1.89/gal. when Trump was President.
I miss a lot of things we had when Trump was president, like the local economy, (including my company) booming due to the great jobs available in the petroleum industry. An economy which, by the way, extended far beyond the oil patch itself as it supported restaurants, housing, car dealerships, etc.
