Take a Bow for the New Revolution

Wow.

Super wow!

We have been suckered for decades, guys.

Trump and Team are just rolling through the system and simply stopping it from being what it has been. Sure, there are arguments still to be had, lawsuits to go through and some legislation is going to be needed for long-term fixes…but Trump is cutting through the Deep State Swamp like a knife through butter. And this means it could always have been done. Ike to Nixon to Ford to Reagan to Bush I to Bush II…all of them could have done precisely this. None of them did. Did they not see it or were they captured by it? Doesn’t really matter at this point.

You sit there with this stunned realization that the USA was ruined – the whole world has been ruined – for simple lack of will to do the right thing. Everyone was just going along with it when not actually malevolent. Among the firings, the FBI boss in Las Vegas was canned. A bit of a surprise as we’ve had no particular problem with Vegas FBI but then you think about it…the FBI had Hunter’s laptop for more than a year. They knew for certain it was Hunter’s and that it contained existential proof of felony criminal activity and the FBI sat on it. To protect Joe f-ing Biden! To protect that slime ball piece of filth? Really??? But they had to – Joe was the only person the Democrats figured could possibly beat Trump and so it had to be buried. And it only came out, as it were, by accident – and then the FBI participated in the effort to suppress what the FBI knew. So when the FBI boss in Vegas gets the axe, you understand it: where were the good apples?

There were none. They were all bad. Maybe some of them can be salvaged under new direction, but not one, single FBI employee was doing the morally correct thing. For how long? Nobody knows. For decades, at least. Maybe since the start.

And, my friends, it was everything. That lady “bishop” who gave Trump a woke scolding? Her organization has taken in millions of taxpayer dollars to bring in “migrants”. We just found out today that a group in Poland called “Krytyka Polityczna”, which is trying to build a Leftist system in Poland was cut off by Trump. Fine – but why in heck was the USA ever funding them? Forget for a moment that its Left…why are we trying to alter Poland’s political climate in any direction? Shouldn’t the Poles be sorting themselves out? But of course we have been – Poland is still actually Catholic, pro-life and doesn’t want all the woke garbage…can’t have that! So, we’ve been pouring in the money to get the Left into power…so that Poland can be destroyed. And on and on and on like that…doing all kinds of corrupt funding and pressures and prosecutions all designed to get to one thing: totalitarian Leftist control of everything.

And it all ends…when we want it to. What lives by the Executive Order, dies by the Executive Order. Congress has essentially been passing all discretionary spending power over to the Executive for decades. They shouldn’t, but they did – because the last things a Congresscritter wants is responsibility. Better to let the Executive make the call and take the heat. But this means that all along we could have stopped funding the Left. Bush II had the Executive and a GOP Congress…and he made not a single move along these lines. Why the heck not? I just don’t understand it…it would have helped him! Remember, government funding was a large reason why we wound up with the 2008 crash…had Bush cut them off, it might not have happened. It is simply bizarre.

But, now its all over. At least while Trump is in. We’re getting the change we voted for. A Revolution.

So, let’s not get fooled again. Ok?

    All very good points, especially the point that not a single FBI employee stepped up, even after the laptop became public knowledge, with the information that the FBI had had it for a year and had confirmed its legitimacy. Not one. Compare that to the “leaks” about anything negative about Trump, day in and day out.

    But I’m thinking of the weeping and gnashing of teeth by conservatives over the past four years in particular, about how it would take forever to correct the damage done in the Biden years if it ever could be accomplished at all. I’m far from a political expert, but here I will point out that I have been saying all along it could be turned around very quickly, by the right president and the right administration—that most of it has been due to OEs, which can be reversed with the stroke of a pen because that’s what created them.

    Admittedly, not even in my most optimistic perspective did I dream so much would be done so quickly, much less that it would be so accepted and even approved by so much of the country. I was confident it could be done, but not with such speed or effectiveness. But I never shared the gloom and doom of those who grieved that the damage could not be turned around.

    Another thing I have mentioned, though perhaps not here, is that the best strategy would be to blast everything wide open in the first six months, leaving three and a half years for the results to show up and the shock to wear off. It looks like this has occurred to those in charge, though that time frame seems reduced to a couple of months. All the better. Trump learned at the end of his first term that incremental changes, tiptoeing around the things that the Left would find most upsetting, did nothing to tame the outrage and just dragged everything out, and I’m thrilled to see that he learned the lesson and is going gangbusters now.

    A Revolution

    Yes, and to all the posts about revolution I have been saying we don’t need bullets to have one.

    the change we voted for…in spite of the claims that we could never change things through the ballot box.

    • Retired Spook's avatar Retired Spook February 1, 2025 / 8:25 pm

      Still not a bad idea to have some bullets, just in case, but I’m glad we haven’t had to use them.

      • Amazona's avatar Amazona February 1, 2025 / 8:46 pm

        Definitely, for two reasons. One is “just in case” and one is the implied threat behind the knowledge that those bullets are there.

        Hey Amazona,

        Trump’s response to the lawsuits against his birthright citizenship EO – it is excellent. Especially this part:

        As was apparent from the time of its enactment, the Citizenship Clause’s use of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States contemplates something more than being subject to this country’s regulatory power. It conveys that persons must be “completely subject to [the] political jurisdiction” of the United States, i.e., that they have a “direct and immediate allegiance” to this country, unqualified by an allegiance to any other foreign power. Elk v. Wilkins, 112 U.S. 94, 102 (1884). Just as that does not hold for diplomats or occupying enemies, it similarly does not hold for foreigners admitted temporarily or individuals here illegally. “[N]o one can become a citizen of a nation without its consent.” Id. at 103. And if the United States has not consented to someone’s enduring presence, it follows that it has not consented to making citizens of that person’s children.

      • Amazona's avatar Amazona February 2, 2025 / 1:53 am

        Thanks for this. This is certainly how I see it. But I think there is a lot of confusion about whether or not being here legally can convey citizenship. As this points out, no, it can’t, as long as that person is still a citizen of another country.

        There is also Leftist fussing about “deporting children”. It seems obvious to me that if a child is born to someone here legally, such as someone granted permanent residency, that status is extended to the child, who can also live here, but who has to take steps when reaching the age of 18 to either establish his own legal status or apply for citizenship.

        I don’t know how much of the confusion stems from misunderstanding what officials have said, or simple ignorance, or malicious reporting in the Agenda Media, but first it was said that only illegal criminals would be deported, then finally the clarification that they were the first target but that anyone here illegally would be deported, and then the confusion about children of people here legally.

      • Amazona's avatar Amazona February 2, 2025 / 6:27 pm

        I think to simplify this, we just say that the status of the parents is conveyed to the children. That is, citizenship and legal status. The only way to change a status is through a formal legal process.

        A British national here with permanent residency? Still a Brit, under British jurisdiction. She has a child and the child is a Brit, but with the same legal status of permanent residency, until old enough to pass out of parental jurisdiction and get his or her own legal status. Nobody gets deported unless the kid just lets the parental status expire after turning 18, at which time he or she is the same as anyone overstaying a visa.

      Better vote/vote than war/war! Keep the powder dry – but I’ve thought over the past few years there was just enough of America left in America to save the day. Its still a bit touch and go here, but I don’t think people fully understand why the Democrats/Left are in so much panic over this stuff – things like Trump terminating USAID is crucial. The Left is largely taxpayer-funded. Without massive government subsidy, it just can’t be sustained…there are huge numbers of people involved who have no marketable skills other than political agitation and its things like USAID which keeps them paid, donating and marching in the streets. Nobody – I don’t care how hard-Left the billionaire is – will pick up the tab for these people. Once the tax funds are gone, there’s nothing left.

        This is one of the messages we need to keep hammering, to get this through to the moderate Democrats who haven’t made a thoughtful decision to support the true ideology of the party, but have just bought into some of the superficial fluff and fantasy. We need to keep that message alive—-that the key to our economic and cultural success is productivity, and these classes of people are merely living off the work of others, sucking up billions in tax dollars.

        People have no idea of how much money is dumped into these programs and agencies. Something else they don’t understand is the tens of thousands of animals needlessly tortured because once money is available for a “study” someone will come up with a proposal. Thousands of beagles are bred specifically for animal research, needlessly, and we pay for it.

      Here’s what Screenrant.com says about the black Viking queen:

      Vikings was never 100% historically accurate but aimed for authenticity, and many questioned if Jarl Haakon was a real person.

      When I saw the word “authenticity,” my first thought was of the great line from The Princess Bride.

      • Amazona's avatar Amazona February 2, 2025 / 6:33 pm

        Something about the name “Screenrant” fails to convey much academic credibility so I think I would just go with general overall records, which as far as I know don’t show African migration into Northern Europe in the 10th Century. The “authenticity” of any legendary person is immaterial.

    • Mark Noonan's avatar Mark Noonan February 2, 2025 / 3:39 pm

      It is just so ridiculous! And there are plenty of strong, female characters they can use – fiction and history.

      Still wonder why they don’t latch on to Ann Bassett…cattle baron, apparently romantically involved with Butch Cassidy, had to deal with a range war…just be a cool, fun series. Nope.

      Or Maria Theresa – Holy Roman Empress. You get her financially brilliant but philandering husband, the absolutely wickedly brilliant (but total hypochondriac) Prince of Kaunitz, the ogre to fight is Frederick the Great of Prussia, supporting cast is Louis XV of France and Madam du Pompadour, Prime Minister William Pitt the Elder, Voltaire, Empress Elizabeth of Russia…

      As she described her situation when she came to the throne, “I found myself without money, without credit, without army, without experience and knowledge of my own and finally, also without any counsel because each one of them at first wanted to wait and see how things would develop.”

      Starting with that, she managed to rebuild her Empire, fight Frederick to a standstill and emerge from decades of war and crisis to be recognized even by enemies as an honest, determined person not to be messed with.

      No chance they’d make a series about her, though…she was devoutly religious.

      • Amazona's avatar Amazona February 2, 2025 / 8:22 pm

        Well, she wasn’t black, evidently not gay, and was born a woman, so misses out on the three biggest criteria. And then there is that faith thing…..

    In the “even a blind pig finds an acorn sometimes” category, James Carville did refer to the choice of Kamala Harris as sending in a “7th string quarterback” but then he destroys any illusion of sanity when he refers to “the magnificent and staggering and deep talent that exists in the modern Democratic Party”.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????

    We keep a pretty close eye on the “modern Democratic Party” and not only have not seen even a hint of ” magnificent and staggering and deep talent” in the party, we have commented on the superficiality and silliness of the more visible members of the party. There were six somewhat rational and tolerable members of the party, as far as I could see, and four of them left the party and one consistently defends Republicans. That leaves Josh Shapiro, out there alone appearing to be kind of normal. But Manchin and Gabbard and Kennedy and Sinema are gone, and Fetterman refuses to be locked into the ideological prison of today’s Democrat Party.

    I have to wonder if the ” magnificent and staggering and deep talent” that has Carville all swoony is represented by David Hogg, the party’s new vice chairman. Dilbert creator Scott Adams tweeted: “Carville uses a lot of words to blame DEI without mentioning it. It’s tricky to be a Democrat in 2025…” I guess “tricky” is one word to describe it.

    • Amazona's avatar Amazona February 5, 2025 / 9:34 pm

      BTW, I did find it funny that Carville used the word “staggering” to describe what he claims is the cadre of Democrats forming its “bench”. It looks like he was including Kamala in that group.
