“Which leads you to wonder, what might Dan Bongino have to say now that he is out of the FBI inner sanctum?”
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say he isn’t going to say shit. NDAs, threats from the security state, etc. possibly. Oh, he’ll allude to how fucked up DC was/is, but we aren’t going to hear any revelations, ongoing investigations dontcha know.
I agree, Flipper. Bongino is out because he was told by TPTB that if he continues he, his wife, and his posterity will be dead or worse. He realized that he can do no good in the position he's in and he's out now. I also wager that he has been told that after he resigns he can go back to his podcasts and his talk shows but he is not able to utter one syllable about his time as deputy director. They will bind him with a NDA and he will hide behind that NDA. That's the way I see it and I believe that is what has happened. Bongino figured out that the deep state truly is in charge and anybody that crosses it will have their lives and all that they love crushed.
I think Bongino has also figured out that Mr. Trump, unfortunately, is either part of the deep state, a massive psy-op to manipulate the American people, or, he's just a crazy old man who is obsessed with his own personal legacy and really isn't interested in "draining the swamp." Who knows.
Either way, Bongino had an epiphany and he's out. I don't blame him. Not one bit.
“Don’t try to understand ‘em, just rope n’ tie n’ brand ‘em”
I suspect that Bongino has been effectively roped, tied, branded and castrated by the Deep State now. Maybe that was Trump’s plan all along. Losing hope fast that there is any integrity available for our cause, whatever that is anyway.
Sorry for the black pills for Christmas but December has been rough so far.
Have to grease the skids then. The oil needed is red.
By British troop movements, the Irish knew they had been betrayed and faced long years of reorganizing. But Pearse said, No, we go forward. We need a blood sacrifice.
Wake up and smell the coffee America: Until Barack Hussein Obama, Valerie Jarrett, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Peter Strzok, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mayorkas, Monaco, Rod Rosenstein, Priestap, Halper, Sally Yates, Loretta Lynch, Garland, Christopher Wray, Haynes, Sullivan, Schiff, Warner, Eisen, Elias, Weissmann, Jack Smith. . .etal - do a perp-walk in bright orange jumpsuits, We the People have lost our Constitutional Republic.
We lost the Republic when Andy Jackson set in motion the Spoils System. That's led to all kinds of horseshit that's gotten is into wars, destroyed businesses, set up the Fed, and gotten almost everyone caught in the web of government money to one degree or other. That realization causes disillusionment, frustration, and anger and a feeling of betrayal because, no matter who we are or what we do, these motherfuckers are going to kill us all, and there's not a goddamn thing we can do about it. At least we can be amused by all the communist agitators who said diddly shit when Obama and Biden invited insurrections all over the world and betrayed allies, but now stand in snow and rain with placards calling Trump a war criminal, a convicted rapist, a traitor, and a murderer (none of which is strictly true, unless you're a fucking halfwit who believes everything Gayle King and George Stephanopolous flatulate on their morning agitprop shows is more true than anything YHWH ever told a prophet). I suppose it's impolite to wish those bozos experience more bad weather, but they want to fucking kill me for not being a Stalinist or Maoist, so maybe it's okay. They'd get obscene gestures and invective from me, except my wife sadly won't let me use my full vocabulary. Anyway, fuck the Deep State, fuck ohio state, and FUCK ALABAMA!
What's true in your comment about Obama and Biden is also true about Trump. These people are on nobody's side, but their own and their pals who grin all the way to their bank in the Cayman's. They were all paid to do what they are doing to this country because the people who ring the bell want it.
Love your post. Especially the end. College football is ruined. Thanks to the NIL college sports have become mini pro-leagues. That's why we have perpetuals like Ohio State, Alabama and Oregon. It's a complete and utter joke. Money ruins everything. Absolutely EVERYTHING.
Congratulations. You have attained. You are no longer (if you ever were) that most vile of all things, Capitalist man. And Communism is just the flip side. They worship money too.
Yeah, the Crimson Tide has washed over all. When the Protestants went to pot, the Fighting Irish should have taken this country. Thrown the money changers out of the Temple of the Nation.
He wasn't supposed to keep his mouth shut out of duty; he was supposed to keep it open out of duty. He did nothing and now his indie podcaster reputation is destroyed.
He needs to send his wife and kids to Russia for asylum. Lock himself in a studio and just start telling the truth over the air. When they shut him down, keep talking online. When they shut that down, satellite, shortwave, etc. When they come for him, he dies fighting. Have a camera in the room that sends the footage online.
Then the real shit begins if he had set up a dead man switch with time released podcasts. A self published book to be released after his death, sworn statements sent to loyal sheriffs and representatives, etc.
Can’t really bring any prosecutions in the hopelessly compromised, woked-up, DEI-infested, Trump-deranged DC federal court district — where so many treasonous crimes were committed.
And this, my friends, is why Nothing. Will. Happen. Merry Xmas.
Just remember the 100% judicial denial of the 2020 election fraud, every one of them squelched the investigations by Rudy and the gang, and ended up trying to put them in jail. The SCOTUS is the only way to curtail the judges and IMO, they are not acting out their role because they are part of it. Roberts wants no part in a reduction of judicial power at the federal level.
That's right- he allowed it on a technicality- that it was a tax, not a healthcare mandate, ignoring the fact that all tax bills must, under the Constitution, originate in the House. This from the Supreme Authority(every federal official takes an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, which would seem to imply that if they were not familiar with it before, they would be sure to catch up on reading it after taking office.)
In my opinion, John Roberts is a depraved pedophile and they have blackmailed that filthy sucker sideways. He's probably on that elusive Epstein list. This is one bad dude. He is among the dregs of society, the worst of the worst. The man has no morals, no scruples, no remorse, no guilt. A truly disgusting and vile human being.
When pregnant, she adopted two teenage Black African sisters. She said, "I had been looking for something like this." Wtf? Virtue signaling on steroids.
Interesting how all the "women" on the SCOTUS are the dregs of the court. Women should never be permitted to sit in positions of power like this. Yeah, I said it. I mean that Ketanji thing, couldn't define what a woman is, and she's sitting on the SCOTUS. Embarrassing. Utterly embarrassing.
The RNC or the RINO portion of the GOP who believe in central control? The Fed judiciary owe their allegiance and jobs to the Deep State so of course they are going to fight any investigation of fraud.
The percentage closeness of the Patriots vs. the Gimmes allows the cheating. When the percentage is greater than 2% or so, cheating becomes obvious.
No, all of them except possibly Thomas Massie. The tell...............look for who is bought by the Lobby, it's all of them except Massie.
It's not about Patriots or gimmes, it's about the purposeful intent to divide the country sufficient to have each side at each other's throats. Divide and conquer. The cheating happens because no one wants it to stop except a certain percentage of the middle class who really does the heavy lifting.....for everything. The biggest traitors on the right are the Christian Zionists, you know, those pretend Christians who speak in Bible like a drunk babbling about his lost bottle of wine.
Christianity fought against the Judaizers for centuries. It was hard on the early Christians, all Jews, who naturally thought they were better than everyone else. Their elders had to remind them constantly, No you aren't.
Now the Judaizers have conquered, at least in the former United States.
Let's not get to out of hand, though I realize that you're merely employing hyperbole. A better development would be strict term-limits, nominal pay, no exclusion from social security and Obamacare, no pension, and most important of all, being excluded from investing in the stock market (including mandatory divesture upon taking office). Once all of these perq's are removed, suddenly all of the grifters and liars will go elsewhere to fleece people.
You dream, Thomas. I like it. But, you know as well as I do that nobody, once in they are in that fancy club, will ever vote themselves out of those posh and cushy benefits the rest of us "citizens" don't get to enjoy.
The only way to change this would be a convention of states and the states themselves can't pull their own heads out of their dark asses to have a convention of states.
Or a constitutional amendment, similar to the ERA. I realize that didn't pass--but that process could be utilized. Term limits could be effected by enlightened voters.
You are 100% correct, Thomas. There's also a 100% chance that stuff ain't gonna happen. The entrenched interests are too entrenched. Congress and the judiciary (with very few exceptions) are looking the people in the eye, and saying "there's nothing you can do. We alone wield the power."
Actually, no, I'm not. We no longer have a working justice system and the corruption can't be voted out or prosecuted. Meanwhile, the people keep getting fucked by their elected representatives. It's got to go. They all have to go.
Regardless, I was referring to exactly what you had said, Ben: "There are a lot of innocent families living in that instant and slow kill radius." In that respect, these are the same, right?

If, and that’s a big if, we get thru the midterms with the majority, then and only then can these judges be impeached. Trump doesn’t have this privilege. If we do get the majority and still no impeachments, then we really are screwed.
Not going to happen, Kathleen. You can only win elections by attracting the independents, and the indies who voted for Trump and believed he would fulfil his promises will sit things out in November. As will a lot of MAGA doesn't mean MIGA folks.
Nothing may happen in the political realm. But the Gods of Economics will not be mocked. It is only a matter of time (before the end of 2026) when Atlas will shrug over our apocalyptic, almost quadrillion-dollar national debt. Mordor-On-The-Potomac will continue to be Mordor-On-The-Potomac. We are just now burdened with a different set of Orcs. I continue to prep as though Harris and Waltz won because in a way, they have. There is no real justice or closure concerning the usurpation of my God-given rights and honest-earned wealth. My tribe and I are on our own. Enjoy the holidays while you all can. Bleib ubrig.
Someone, somewhere makes the decision to pursue judicial action against the bad guys. They are aware of the judicial bias they have to deal with. Remember the favorite phrase of the Biden Mob, plausible deniability? It may be working today. The best defense? Do not ever let this scum near the White House or Capitol ever again.
Not going to happen, JohnAZ. The political pendulum is going to swing back to the left in the midterms and then in 2028. Just like it has swung back and forth for the last century and more. Americans have no desire to fix the system. No desire to restore the Constitution. No desire for anything but to be taken care of and provided for. When I hear Americans talk about how "free" we are in this screwed up country, it makes my eyes bleed. People have clue what freedom is and they will vote that scum right back into office. You watch.
Ben, it is up to the GOP presence to stop the election fraud. If they do not, either they are involved (think Deep State RINOs) or they just do not give a damn. The Dems have used it since 1960, so they will fight it tooth and nail.
Ben, remember that it is really the Deep State vs. the people. Centrists vs. individual rights. It is not GOP vs. Dems any more, it is The Ult-left vs. the MAGA folks. It is individuality vs. Gimmes, folks who give up their freedom to have the security of having the government take care of them. It is socialism against capitalism.
Sidebar- The immigrants came here to get jobs, to get opportunity which their socialist governments took away from them. Imagine their surprise to find out the USA Ult-Left want to turn the USA into the same piece of shit as what they left.
My comment said that if the Left gets into power again, there will be no America.The reason, most of the DNC adherents hate the American Constitution and the freedoms and protections it affords. The want central power and Sanders is the 21st century Lenin. If you are right and the majority are dependent enough on the government to vote the scum back into power, we are finished.
Think about the choices in 2028, JD Vance vs.
AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Newsome, Schiff, Pritzker, Sanders, Harris, Pocahontas, Polis, etc. IMO, any of those get into the WH, it is time to leave this country to the dogs.,
According to Breitbart.com, AOC beats JD Vance in a head to head election. Now, I don't agree with any polls, nor do I trust them. Polls are a tool used by the elites to sway election voting. However, they are already beginning the process. Even Breitbart, a supposedly conservative media site, is prepping the people to despair that JD Vance has any chance in winning.
We could very well live to see the day when an uneducated former bar tending horse faced doofus like AOC becomes president. Our system is that sick.
I wouldn't be surprised if those laptops, and all copies they could find, are long gone. I hope they are not, but I can't imagine why they wouldn't be.
There are actual messages up on a website somewhere showing Hunter and his hookers smoking crack and one message where Hunter is begging the pimp to pick up his whore.
He asked her to leave and she wouldn't.
The pimp said she won't leave because you poked her in the butt and have too much crack.
There are hundreds of pages of messages and pictures of this man's terrible rotten teeth.
There is a lot more on the Hunter Biden laptop than photos. I have seen statements indicating there is evidence of a secret deal the Bidens made with dominion in Prague, contracts. Our nation's direction is always at the mercy of how honest the voting machines are. Who the hell has confidence in the machines if they have a freaking wifi connection and are networked? Anything networked can be easily exploited,
Yes but that stuff was not posted for obvious reasons.
The embarrassing details however were.
Hunter Biden is almost as big of a piece of shit as his father but at least he did not shower with his teenage daughter instead he railed his dead brothers wife.
No one is coming to save you. We (collectively) are on our own. Prepare accordingly, as we should have been doing all along. Pray and get right with The Lord. Something wicked this way comes.
Re: Susie Wiles, "the savviest Chief of Staff to ever haunt the West Wing."
How on earth do you grant interviews with people who hate your guts and would laugh and dance over your dead body - even once - much less eleven times?
Susie should’ve been recording everything herself, with her staff as witnesses. Rookie. When I was a media director for Boston PD, whenever my boss sat down with the enemy for a tough interview, my staff was present and simultaneously recording. It keeps the editing down to nothing when you have the same tape. And that was in the late ‘90’s!
Before agreeing to the interview, she should have picked up a copy of Vanity Fair to learn the cut of its jib. Or at least had someone brief her on it.
Note to fellow JHK readers - Kunstler’s latest novel “Look, I’m Gone” is a real page-turner. Finished it in nothing flat which is unusual for me. Hugely entertaining (no spoilers) and timed perfectly for the holidays (meaning, the story itself is set during the holidays). Do yourself a favor and order a copy. You’ll be happy you did.
I have to agree. It took me back to the weeks after JFK was shot, when I was a kid and he described perfectly the backdrops of New York City and snowy New Hampshire. A lovely, timely read.
While I was still a baby at the time of these events, the novel painted a picture of an NYC and New England that I grew up imagining it to be (note: I'm from the opposite coast).
Total agreement. Everything in a novel you could ask for. A perfect union of beautiful writing, great story telling and good cheer. I laughed my ass off. The NY publishing industry hasn’t produced anything this enjoyable in years. Order from Amazon, or enlightened independent bookstores such as Battenkill Books (battenkillbooks.com)and Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza (bhny.com).
All the corruption starts in the US Senate and their influence(blue slip bullshit among others) over the confirmation process. Only 19/94 US attorneys have been 'appointed'; notice the Lindsay Halligan delay leading to Comey walking free.
If a murder indictment is misspelled, the murderer does not get a permanent get-out-of-jail card- why is Comey not re-indicted? Pam "No-Arrest-for-the-Wicked" Bondi has a lot to answer for.
"Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is asking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to revoke the licenses for all Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
On Monday, CHD filed a Citizen Petition with the FDA and is urging the public, including healthcare workers, parents and military members, to submit comments on the petition."
Here's the direct link to submit a comment to the FDA about CHD's petition:
I fully support the petition filed on behalf of Children’s Health Defense requesting that FDA revoke all licensure for COVID-19 mRNA "vaccines" as improperly granted.
The mRNA transfection platform itself is irreparably flawed & inherently dangerous and the platform itself IS the primary problem.
The mechanism of action (using mRNA instructions to turn one’s own cells into foreign non-self “spike protein factories”) IS the primary mechanism of harm. This triggers an immune system attack response, starting with the Killer T-Lymphocyte cells which will target & destroy one's formerly healthy cells, ANYWHERE in the body, that are now expressing non-self proteins...starting a cascade of damage at the deepest biological/cellular level.
Due to the systemic biodistribution properties of the (toxic & inflammatory) lipid nanoparticles, the encased (designed to be long-lasting) n1-methyl pseudouridine modified mRNA can go anywhere in the body, including crossing the blood-brain & placental barriers. The LNP "delivery vehicles" traveled to different parts of the body in different people.
Expressing any foreign non-self protein is fatal to the cell doing the expressing.
Some people will express lots of foreign proteins in vulnerable locations.
Others express less in less vulnerable areas.
The location of expression defines the adverse event: if you get foreign protein expression in your heart cells, you could get myocarditis & experience cardiac arrest; if the expression is in your brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nervous system, you could get one or more of a variety of neurological conditions; if in your eye, possible blindness; if in your ovaries, possible infertility; if in the placenta, possible miscarriage, stillbirth, or birth defects; if in the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels, possible vascular &/or microvascular injuries like clots/microclots or the long white fibrous clots, leading to strokes, heart attacks, or pulmonary embolisms…
If the expression of foreign proteins is in your own immune cells, you could experience immune dysfunction, dysregulation, & suppression including repeated infections, immune tolerance of a pathogenic foreign protein due to antibody subclass switch to IgG4 & increased IgG4-related diseases, T cell exhaustion, interference with & suppression of innate immunity, persistent systemic inflammation, dysregulation of toll-like receptors and reduced cancer surveillance or the suppression of tumor-suppressing immune system activities & cell-signaling (increasing your risk of fast-growing and aggressive cancers). And more…
Pathology reports, including from autopsies, have revealed & confirmed the Killer T Lymphocyte infiltration & destruction of cells, oftentimes in vital organs.
These modified mRNA-LNP genetic transfection injections never would have passed proper safety studies required for gene therapy products. Safety studies (including biodistribution, immunogenicity, immunotoxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, shedding, long-term effects, & more) that were bypassed because of the mislabeling as “vaccines”. (And because of the EUA & “countermeasure” designations under the Project BioShield Act & PREP Act).
The danger is NOT limited to just getting more COVID “boosters”. ANY mRNA gene “therapy” product that transfects your cells & instructs those cells to produce non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) will trigger an immune system attack response against your own cells & tissues. This makes EVERY mRNA-based transfection product harmful by design.
This immune response to one's own cells being instructed to express non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) triggers autoimmune responses, & then T-cell exhaustion & immune system dysfunction, regardless of whether or not the foreign protein is toxic itself.
The immune dysfunction & collapse that has manifested in an unprecedented number of people worldwide, accompanied by surges in autoimmune conditions, chronic infections, cancers, & cardiometabolic disease is unfortunately very real, no matter how much some want to deny what is happening.
This is not speculation. This is measurable — in lymphocyte counts, antibody profiles, T-cell exhaustion markers, & verified clinical outcomes, including deaths.
AND shedding from these mRNA transfection injections IS an extremely serious concern, with some people being affected more than others.
A cancer is a set of DNA modified cells that lose connectivity to the host and competes and usually wins against controlled host cells. Now realize that studies have already shown that mRNA has the ability to modify, through reverse transcriptase, the DNA of liver cells. Does that not show the ability to create new cancers?
Add on the effect of loading up the body with s proteins over a period of time, causing the memory system of T and B cells to be erased with attrition. Is it any wonder that all kinds of immune disorders occur. Do not even argue virus versus Vaxx either as the S protein assault is the same. At least with the disease, it subsides after a week, not so much with modified S protein producers.
Exactly. I have been a huge fan of JHK for many years, and agree on the vast majority of things he says, but the blind optimism (which has thus far been proven baseless) mystifies me
Agreed. People forget what our forebears were up against and how few, in comparison to filthy England, they numbered. Yes times have changed and "they're" deeply entrenched, including our (cough) military, but they are not impervious and we are not yet dead. Resignation is a boon to your enemies.
Merry Christmas, JHK. I have LIG on a bedside table, after everyone leaves my home after the holidays, I will have a moment to read it and I'm very much looking forward to that. This year has been.. daunting. And yet we are not gone. Not yet! PS I enjoy your prose and skills at making me double over with laughter, or shed fat tears. Your style hits me in the solar plexus. I'm glad I found your work.
I think that James likes having lots of readers, and believes that by pretending all these promised indictments are just about to happen, real soon, he will maintain their interest. This nonsense is unnecessary. Mr. Kunstler is an excellent writer with a keen eye as to what is going on in this troubled nation. I have read, and thoroughly enjoyed, the books in in World Made by Hand series. I will keep reading his bi-weekly column, but tire of being told, week in and week out, "Indictments are coming!". . .Days of Thunder. . .James should just be honest with his readers instead. Personally, I believe that Trump will just stop the bleeding, and halt the decline of the US for 4 years, and once he is out of office, things will be back to business as usual. If you saw all the famous liberal elitists at Cheney's recent funeral, hobnobbing and socializing with each other, you can tell, they know that NOTHING is going to happen to them, they are just waiting for the end of Trump's term to get back to undermining and working to destroy the US.
As one who has had the occasional peek behind the curtain, I can see a lot of people are trying to "set things aright" and it must be disheartening for those attempting to do what we are asking for to hear this continuous wah wah wah, they're not doing anything like they do in the 42 minutes of my favorite TV crime show!
Add in the power and resources available to the Conspiracy, billionaire America haters, a political party morphed into a simulacrum of the 1905 Bolshevik criminal conspiracy, plus a media and judiciary obviously infested with fellow travelers and enablers of the Conspiracy. It is not hyperbole to say these investigators and prosecutors have a Homeric and Herculean task, and like Sisyphus from time to time have to start all over pushing the boulder back up the hill, all the while enduring potshots and booby traps from the above mentioned entities.
When I say nothing will happen (and so far have been correct), I'm not saying it because i think these people won't do it (bring justice), it's because i think they can't. We're too far gone regardless of how hard they're trying
Carl von Clausewitz famously observed that war is the continuation of politics by other means. Today, it seems our once-fabled criminal justice system can be added to that maxim. The phenomenon is strikingly odd: everyone sees it, everyone understands it, and yet - with a wink and a nod - it continues unabated.
War is the failure of politics. That is why the failure of the Red-Blue dilemma in the country, especially Congress IS a war, Cold so far but getting warmer every day.
The sad sad truth is that Trump is not who we hoped he would be. He won't deliver on Epstein, or all of the deep state prosecutions, because they got to him. Maybe when he had some time to reflect on his assassination attempt(s), he decided that, "These people are serious!" Maybe when they explained to him that it wouldn't be just him, but his wife and kids as well, he just folded.
And then there were the big donations. "You owe us, you know..." various donors said. As it turns out, he was not who we hoped he would be, and our expectations were indeed grandiose. Maybe they promised him they wouldn't try to make him spend the rest of his short life (post presidency) in prison if he played along.
So now it appears he believes that if he starts a typical American post-WW II war, against a
small, effectively unarmed country in comparison to the US behemoth, the predictable jingoism will kick in and everyone will forget about everything else.
Face it. He wasn't up to the job and he folded. He tried. For a while anyway. Maybe he got tired. Maybe his kids told him they weren't willing to die for the cause, even if he was.
I think threatening someone's family happens more often than we think. But if anyone showed up at my house to give me such an ultimatum, I'd take him out. I'd go to my bedroom, get my .357, and shoot him. Or her. Then I'd burn the body in the back yard.
I'm glad that Trump at least managed to widen the Overton Window, but he has certainly failed to speak out publicly on the millions dead from the dangerous and defective mRNA. Makes him look owned by Pfizer.
Yes, we all thought Trump was going to save us. (Like buying a boat, the happiest days are when you buy it and when you sell it. ) Not looking forward to midterms and the return of the transgenders and lawfare.
He was the wrong man for the job. Maybe the task of saving America is too big for ANY one man. Maybe too saving it would involve a level of nastiness that few reasonable humans would be willing to commit too. The best hope now is for the whole system to crash so we can begin building something better from the ruins. Easy words to type - and I have a family too - but the last chance of reforming the system from within has gone.
I believe the stress and the consistent badgering cracked him. DJT is an alpha male, no doubt, but he's a human being and no human being is designed to handled so much stimulus as has been heaped upon his head. I admire DJT. I always have and I always will. He's an impressive person. But, he has his limits and his limits have been reached.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. I would love to see DJT hold a national press conference and from the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office sit calmly behind the desk, raise his right hand and extend as far as he can, his middle finger, right at the camera. He would sit there for a few seconds and then say, "fuck you, America. I did my best. I gave it all I could to save our country and all you people did was bicker, argue and fight against me. I'm out." The cameras then go dark and Mr. Trump disappears forever. Gone to one of his private islands where he spends the rest of his days sipping margaritas on the beach surrounded by naked women. I would not blame him at all if he were to do this. He won't do this because of his ego.
That's the way I see it. The stress has broken him. It's too much for one man to handle. It's broken him.
"A true alpha male uses his powers for the good of people and society."
According to whom? Since when does an alpha male have to be a good guy? Josef Stalin was an alpha male and he was one of the biggest mass murderers on the planet. Was Mao a good guy when he starved millions of his fellow countrymen?
I disagree. Not all alpha males are warm tender souls whose only concern is the welfare of those around them. That, my friend, Cedric, is a pipe dream and is not based in reality.
So true. Cankerpuss. Being powerful is one thing. How you use that power is another issue.
I did find Trump's condolence card to the surviving Reiner's a bit odd. I've received kinder messages from bill collectors, lawyers suing me, and my cousin Frieda - that time I had her deported.
The term alpha male is often applied to any dominating man, especially bullies,[10] despite the fact that dominating behavior is rarely seen as a positive trait for either an ideal date or a romantic partner
He sold his soul to Israel. And to Big Pharma. Likely for BIG bucks.
He deserves no credit or admiration... the 100,000 lost souls of Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria call out for his damnation... he funded and supported their MURDERS.
I used to think that, but not now. You imply that the guy really cares about saving America. I don't think he really does - and maybe never did. His tweets show him to be a malignant narcissistic and increasingly unhinged by megalomania. You can think of Reiner what you want, but who in their right mind sends out a tweet like Trump did after Reiner's horrible death? There never was any there there.
Perhaps. But then again, my opinion and yours are conjecture. Nobody really knows what is going on in the head of DJT other than DJT. Yes, his comments on Reiner were very inappropriate, especially coming from a guy whose death would elicit jubilant celebrations from millions. Leftists will pay to piss and defecate on DJT's gravesite.
In true conservative republican fashion, we hold our side to higher moral standards than we do the other side. And pay the price for it. DJT tells it like it is and our hair catches on fire. I'm tired of the moralizing about his tweets and his words. It's actions that count and some of his has raised my ire, but I will go to my death, or his, believing that he is a true patriot.
No argument from me. I'm not offended by someone who speaks his mind, even if it is inappropriate. I do question a lot of Trump's lack of action on many pertinent political matters, then again, I also understand that as President, Trump cannot do much without a willing Congress. The President does not make law. So, I don't have very high expectations that much of what he promised will come to fruition. I wish more Americans would hold their Congress accountable. Congress, the biggest failure of the American political system and most people don't even bat an eyelash at it.
The corruption of America is staggeringly breathtaking. Its decline and fall tracks exactly that of the Roman republic. Both republics collapsed into failure because of the corruption of manners (i.e. moral and intellectual virtue at all levels of society). That corruption is “democracy” in action, where simpletons and fools (unfit even to govern themselves) vie for election to public office and immortality. Truly, our so-called “representative democracy” could not be more representative of American character.
I used to believe there was a stark difference between the American people and the American system of government. Not so anymore. The similarities are stark.
1. The US Government lives well beyond its means and is saddled by crushing debt. The American people live well beyond their means and are saddled by crushing debt.
2. The US Government, or those in the government, have no morals. The American people, by and large, have no morals. Marriage infidelity is high. Pornography is rampant. People fornicate and use abortion as a means of birth control.
3. The US Government is anti-god. The American people have become less and less religious.
4. The US Government is pro-war. The American people are pro-war putting the troops on a pedestal and worshipping them like heroes when they don't even know why they are making war in poor shithole countries like Yemen.
5. The US Government steals from its people. The American people steal from their fellow Americans by taking welfare they don't deserve, disability they don't deserve or tax refunds on taxes they never paid.
6. The US Government worships death and brings death to innocents. The American people worship death in the entertainment and wholesale support of abortion.
America has the government it wants. I truly believe a righteous people would not tolerate an unrighteous government. That is not the case in America anymore.
I read the other day on Breitbart that Porn Hub, the largest distributor of on line porn has more than 100 million premium subscribers. Think about that and let that one sink in.
True, but you can't expect the people to be any better than their government and vice versa. Virtuosity must start at the top, and presently, that's impossible. Our government is run by ungodly men and women because that's what we vote for. Because they mirror ourselves.
I don't necessarily agree with that, Kathy. The Government is OF the PEOPLE. That means that the government is OURS. It is our responsibility. We ARE the creators of that government we are therefore responsible for it. If we do not hold the government accountable, who will?
Virtuosity, in my opinion starts with the people who created the government. You and I cannot steal from our neighbors so the government should not be stealing from us. The authority of the created cannot and should not ever exceed the authority of the creator. That is what we have now.
Because we the people are the government we have a responsibility to bring an unrighteous government down and an unrighteous people will not do so. Only a truly righteous people would do so and our people are not a truly righteous people. Our people are a people ripe for destruction.
Yes: all of the skeins of evidence, connections among malefactors, and smoking guns, as diligently and skillfully assembled by our host here, are tantalizing. Always wishing for a different, better world, they raise hopes in us that something - any damned thing - can be done about it all. Fatuous hopes.
The visible tip of the Deep State iceberg suggests a world in which wrongs, once identified, can be righted, and justice can be served. Sadly, our flailing, rotten empire is well past such a point. The visible infrastructure upon which our commerce and daily lives depend may be crumbling, but the hidden infrastructure for graft and corruption has never been more robust, and its iron grip is unthreatened.
Even such egregious evidence as Hunter Biden’s laptop hardly causes the forces of darkness to break out in a nervous sweat. It’s just tossed into the black hole from which no incriminating evidence can escape.
When the midterm elections knock the legs out from under the MAGA movement, US politics will be less frustrating for us, because abundant cause for false hope will be gone.
When are you going to admit the truth--that Donald Trump never intended to hold ANY of the evil and corrupt Democrats accountable for their many crimes? This was all a huge lie, intended to get him into the White House and to raise funds for the Republican Party. Donald Trump is, in fact, focused on fixing problems--in Nigeria. In the Ukraine. In the Middle East. He's not interested in helping this country. The tired old lies--Trust the Plan, Justice is coming, we're just about to put all these evil Democrats in Jail, real soon, for sure this time--will be trotted out to fund-raise for the mid terms. Stop being gullible and naive.
“Which leads you to wonder, what might Dan Bongino have to say now that he is out of the FBI inner sanctum?”
I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say he isn’t going to say shit. NDAs, threats from the security state, etc. possibly. Oh, he’ll allude to how fucked up DC was/is, but we aren’t going to hear any revelations, ongoing investigations dontcha know.
I agree, Flipper. Bongino is out because he was told by TPTB that if he continues he, his wife, and his posterity will be dead or worse. He realized that he can do no good in the position he's in and he's out now. I also wager that he has been told that after he resigns he can go back to his podcasts and his talk shows but he is not able to utter one syllable about his time as deputy director. They will bind him with a NDA and he will hide behind that NDA. That's the way I see it and I believe that is what has happened. Bongino figured out that the deep state truly is in charge and anybody that crosses it will have their lives and all that they love crushed.
I think Bongino has also figured out that Mr. Trump, unfortunately, is either part of the deep state, a massive psy-op to manipulate the American people, or, he's just a crazy old man who is obsessed with his own personal legacy and really isn't interested in "draining the swamp." Who knows.
Either way, Bongino had an epiphany and he's out. I don't blame him. Not one bit.
“Don’t try to understand ‘em, just rope n’ tie n’ brand ‘em”
I suspect that Bongino has been effectively roped, tied, branded and castrated by the Deep State now. Maybe that was Trump’s plan all along. Losing hope fast that there is any integrity available for our cause, whatever that is anyway.
Sorry for the black pills for Christmas but December has been rough so far.
I suspect it has way more to do with the wheels of justice not turning at all even slowly.
Type A's have a hard time waiting.
Have to grease the skids then. The oil needed is red.
By British troop movements, the Irish knew they had been betrayed and faced long years of reorganizing. But Pearse said, No, we go forward. We need a blood sacrifice.
We are going to have to revolt and do the hanging ourselves. Make a list. Check it twice...
People are too afraid to do so. Leviathan is more powerful now than ever.
Whatever power Leviathan has depends entirely on public support, and they're burning that in a bonfire right now.
And even if he does tell us stuff, we know tons of stuff already and we've seen no heads roll.
So what, we'll be even more outraged?
Yawn.
Wake up and smell the coffee America: Until Barack Hussein Obama, Valerie Jarrett, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Peter Strzok, Hillary Rodham Clinton, Mayorkas, Monaco, Rod Rosenstein, Priestap, Halper, Sally Yates, Loretta Lynch, Garland, Christopher Wray, Haynes, Sullivan, Schiff, Warner, Eisen, Elias, Weissmann, Jack Smith. . .etal - do a perp-walk in bright orange jumpsuits, We the People have lost our Constitutional Republic.
Anything else is "hopeium".
We lost the Republic when Andy Jackson set in motion the Spoils System. That's led to all kinds of horseshit that's gotten is into wars, destroyed businesses, set up the Fed, and gotten almost everyone caught in the web of government money to one degree or other. That realization causes disillusionment, frustration, and anger and a feeling of betrayal because, no matter who we are or what we do, these motherfuckers are going to kill us all, and there's not a goddamn thing we can do about it. At least we can be amused by all the communist agitators who said diddly shit when Obama and Biden invited insurrections all over the world and betrayed allies, but now stand in snow and rain with placards calling Trump a war criminal, a convicted rapist, a traitor, and a murderer (none of which is strictly true, unless you're a fucking halfwit who believes everything Gayle King and George Stephanopolous flatulate on their morning agitprop shows is more true than anything YHWH ever told a prophet). I suppose it's impolite to wish those bozos experience more bad weather, but they want to fucking kill me for not being a Stalinist or Maoist, so maybe it's okay. They'd get obscene gestures and invective from me, except my wife sadly won't let me use my full vocabulary. Anyway, fuck the Deep State, fuck ohio state, and FUCK ALABAMA!
What's true in your comment about Obama and Biden is also true about Trump. These people are on nobody's side, but their own and their pals who grin all the way to their bank in the Cayman's. They were all paid to do what they are doing to this country because the people who ring the bell want it.
Love your post. Especially the end. College football is ruined. Thanks to the NIL college sports have become mini pro-leagues. That's why we have perpetuals like Ohio State, Alabama and Oregon. It's a complete and utter joke. Money ruins everything. Absolutely EVERYTHING.
Congratulations. You have attained. You are no longer (if you ever were) that most vile of all things, Capitalist man. And Communism is just the flip side. They worship money too.
Yeah, the Crimson Tide has washed over all. When the Protestants went to pot, the Fighting Irish should have taken this country. Thrown the money changers out of the Temple of the Nation.
He wasn't supposed to keep his mouth shut out of duty; he was supposed to keep it open out of duty. He did nothing and now his indie podcaster reputation is destroyed.
He'll write a book, use anonymous sources, cash-in and disappear.
He has to big an ego to just wander off into the sunset.
big ego/small dick. I never bought into the Bongino as warrior. By doing nothing he met my expectations as FBI head.
We are not talking about Phil here we are talking about Bongino.
Dan at a minimum he had cancer fought it off and returned to work.
One thing about cancer survivors stress is even worse on them than other people.
He has some serious work to put in to regain some semblance of trust with most of his followers.
He needs to send his wife and kids to Russia for asylum. Lock himself in a studio and just start telling the truth over the air. When they shut him down, keep talking online. When they shut that down, satellite, shortwave, etc. When they come for him, he dies fighting. Have a camera in the room that sends the footage online.
Then the real shit begins if he had set up a dead man switch with time released podcasts. A self published book to be released after his death, sworn statements sent to loyal sheriffs and representatives, etc.
As has been said elsewhere, all worms, no apples in that institution.
Can’t really bring any prosecutions in the hopelessly compromised, woked-up, DEI-infested, Trump-deranged DC federal court district — where so many treasonous crimes were committed.
And this, my friends, is why Nothing. Will. Happen. Merry Xmas.
Just remember the 100% judicial denial of the 2020 election fraud, every one of them squelched the investigations by Rudy and the gang, and ended up trying to put them in jail. The SCOTUS is the only way to curtail the judges and IMO, they are not acting out their role because they are part of it. Roberts wants no part in a reduction of judicial power at the federal level.
Mr Chief Justice Roberts has raised more than his share of eyebrows, eh?
Didn’t he rewrite Obama Care, “this is what Obama meant to say”?
yeah, he said it was a "tax" and therefore perfectly fine.
That's right- he allowed it on a technicality- that it was a tax, not a healthcare mandate, ignoring the fact that all tax bills must, under the Constitution, originate in the House. This from the Supreme Authority(every federal official takes an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, which would seem to imply that if they were not familiar with it before, they would be sure to catch up on reading it after taking office.)
"... all tax bills must, under the Constitution, originate in the House."
You mean like tariffs?
In my opinion, John Roberts is a depraved pedophile and they have blackmailed that filthy sucker sideways. He's probably on that elusive Epstein list. This is one bad dude. He is among the dregs of society, the worst of the worst. The man has no morals, no scruples, no remorse, no guilt. A truly disgusting and vile human being.
Barrett might have some illegal adoptions... or child abuse issues...
What a FUBAR.
When pregnant, she adopted two teenage Black African sisters. She said, "I had been looking for something like this." Wtf? Virtue signaling on steroids.
"I had been looking for something like this."
She could have adopted a million and not made a dent.
Yes, as did corrupted barrett... and wimp Kavanaugh.
But the worst turd in that odoriferous punch-bowl is the 50 IQ DEI hire, Kunta-Ketangi... who so obviously hates America and especially Whitey.
The fat, sick porker Soto-pig and the bulldyke Kagen are known entities... pure scum.
Interesting how all the "women" on the SCOTUS are the dregs of the court. Women should never be permitted to sit in positions of power like this. Yeah, I said it. I mean that Ketanji thing, couldn't define what a woman is, and she's sitting on the SCOTUS. Embarrassing. Utterly embarrassing.
Very true... and they would be dregs in any capacity, let alone on the SCOTUS where they can do, and have done, real damage.
Too bad Trump is now a toothless eunuch, serving Israel and Big Pharma.
Just remember the RNC was in on the 2020 election fraud. They were all paid to look away, not make waves, and remain breathing.
The RNC or the RINO portion of the GOP who believe in central control? The Fed judiciary owe their allegiance and jobs to the Deep State so of course they are going to fight any investigation of fraud.
The percentage closeness of the Patriots vs. the Gimmes allows the cheating. When the percentage is greater than 2% or so, cheating becomes obvious.
No, all of them except possibly Thomas Massie. The tell...............look for who is bought by the Lobby, it's all of them except Massie.
It's not about Patriots or gimmes, it's about the purposeful intent to divide the country sufficient to have each side at each other's throats. Divide and conquer. The cheating happens because no one wants it to stop except a certain percentage of the middle class who really does the heavy lifting.....for everything. The biggest traitors on the right are the Christian Zionists, you know, those pretend Christians who speak in Bible like a drunk babbling about his lost bottle of wine.
Christianity fought against the Judaizers for centuries. It was hard on the early Christians, all Jews, who naturally thought they were better than everyone else. Their elders had to remind them constantly, No you aren't.
Now the Judaizers have conquered, at least in the former United States.
RINO? Ridiculous concept. That's what the Republicans are. The fake resistance.
I've always said for awhile now that the best thing that could happen to the country and the world is if a 12-kt nuke was detonated over Washington.
Let's not get to out of hand, though I realize that you're merely employing hyperbole. A better development would be strict term-limits, nominal pay, no exclusion from social security and Obamacare, no pension, and most important of all, being excluded from investing in the stock market (including mandatory divesture upon taking office). Once all of these perq's are removed, suddenly all of the grifters and liars will go elsewhere to fleece people.
A reformation of American character is required, and things are too far gone for such a thing.
Yes, Capitalist man are simply vermin as the National Socialists said.
You dream, Thomas. I like it. But, you know as well as I do that nobody, once in they are in that fancy club, will ever vote themselves out of those posh and cushy benefits the rest of us "citizens" don't get to enjoy.
The only way to change this would be a convention of states and the states themselves can't pull their own heads out of their dark asses to have a convention of states.
We're boned. Period.
Or a constitutional amendment, similar to the ERA. I realize that didn't pass--but that process could be utilized. Term limits could be effected by enlightened voters.
And enlightened voters we do not have.
Yeah, I know. The way it is--it's like we're being drowned in a gunny suck and no one knows it.
You are 100% correct, Thomas. There's also a 100% chance that stuff ain't gonna happen. The entrenched interests are too entrenched. Congress and the judiciary (with very few exceptions) are looking the people in the eye, and saying "there's nothing you can do. We alone wield the power."
Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt,
Always have clean shirts to play around in
In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking
Actually, no, I'm not. We no longer have a working justice system and the corruption can't be voted out or prosecuted. Meanwhile, the people keep getting fucked by their elected representatives. It's got to go. They all have to go.
And who, exactly, will bring such commonsensical legislation to pass, Thomas?
I’m craning my neck looking for them up on the Hill….
We had hoped Trump would be the man on the White Horse. But he is simply a bad gray champion.
Here here! That's the serious reform long overdue. Exactly this.
And of those two possibilities, ONE is most likely.
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out
... in!
It’s going to be alright
What a stupid thing to say.
There are a lot of innocent families living in that instant and slow kill radius.
Since when did innocent families matter to the USG?
Just like Hiroshima and Nagasaki, right?
What is the difference dumb ass?
Is there an actual shooting war I am not aware of?
You continue to show what an utter imbecile you really are.
Your TDS must get unbearable to anyone around you consider asking God to remove your mental illness before one of your kids Rob Reiners your ass.
Further, DC actually is in a shooting war with "narco terrorists," right?
Regardless, I was referring to exactly what you had said, Ben: "There are a lot of innocent families living in that instant and slow kill radius." In that respect, these are the same, right?
-----
Of course, here in the real world, Kathy Christian was merely "just talk" while Hiroshima and Nagasaki were all too real.
-----
Criticizing the US nuking Japan before DJT was even born is hardly TDS, Einstein.
-----
"[C]onsider asking God to remove your mental illness before one of your kids Rob Reiners your ass." What a disgusting thing to say.
May God have mercy on your soul.
How many people would have died if a full scale invasion was needed to pacify Japan?
It is a matter of public record they had the civilian population training with bamboo spears and were not giving up.
The answer is Millions and your still a moron.
There is no shooting war at the moment with Venezuela but there will likely be one.
Venezuela has no nukes and no way to get them here so stupid strawman argument brainiac.
As far as your horrible TDS affliction you clearly have it seek help little man.
God said he would spare Sodom if ten righteous men could be found. Lot couldn't find them. So He nuked it from space.
If, and that’s a big if, we get thru the midterms with the majority, then and only then can these judges be impeached. Trump doesn’t have this privilege. If we do get the majority and still no impeachments, then we really are screwed.
Sounds like you are saying that either way, we are screwed.
Not going to happen, Kathleen. You can only win elections by attracting the independents, and the indies who voted for Trump and believed he would fulfil his promises will sit things out in November. As will a lot of MAGA doesn't mean MIGA folks.
Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.
Nothing may happen in the political realm. But the Gods of Economics will not be mocked. It is only a matter of time (before the end of 2026) when Atlas will shrug over our apocalyptic, almost quadrillion-dollar national debt. Mordor-On-The-Potomac will continue to be Mordor-On-The-Potomac. We are just now burdened with a different set of Orcs. I continue to prep as though Harris and Waltz won because in a way, they have. There is no real justice or closure concerning the usurpation of my God-given rights and honest-earned wealth. My tribe and I are on our own. Enjoy the holidays while you all can. Bleib ubrig.
I love your comparison to Mordor.
Hunter Biden laptop and Seth Rich laptops, continue to gather dust in FBI evidence room.
Someone, somewhere makes the decision to pursue judicial action against the bad guys. They are aware of the judicial bias they have to deal with. Remember the favorite phrase of the Biden Mob, plausible deniability? It may be working today. The best defense? Do not ever let this scum near the White House or Capitol ever again.
Not going to happen, JohnAZ. The political pendulum is going to swing back to the left in the midterms and then in 2028. Just like it has swung back and forth for the last century and more. Americans have no desire to fix the system. No desire to restore the Constitution. No desire for anything but to be taken care of and provided for. When I hear Americans talk about how "free" we are in this screwed up country, it makes my eyes bleed. People have clue what freedom is and they will vote that scum right back into office. You watch.
Either by the insane media lying per usual or a straight up election theft.
Ben, it is up to the GOP presence to stop the election fraud. If they do not, either they are involved (think Deep State RINOs) or they just do not give a damn. The Dems have used it since 1960, so they will fight it tooth and nail.
There is money to be made being the loser.
I think it all comes down to money and not having to actually lead at this point.
The only thing worse and more worthless than the Republicans are the Democrats.
Time to fire them all and start over with litmus tests and common sense testing.
If they can't pass a security clearance, they don't get the job sorry FANG fANG!
Ben, remember that it is really the Deep State vs. the people. Centrists vs. individual rights. It is not GOP vs. Dems any more, it is The Ult-left vs. the MAGA folks. It is individuality vs. Gimmes, folks who give up their freedom to have the security of having the government take care of them. It is socialism against capitalism.
Sidebar- The immigrants came here to get jobs, to get opportunity which their socialist governments took away from them. Imagine their surprise to find out the USA Ult-Left want to turn the USA into the same piece of shit as what they left.
My comment said that if the Left gets into power again, there will be no America.The reason, most of the DNC adherents hate the American Constitution and the freedoms and protections it affords. The want central power and Sanders is the 21st century Lenin. If you are right and the majority are dependent enough on the government to vote the scum back into power, we are finished.
Think about the choices in 2028, JD Vance vs.
AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Newsome, Schiff, Pritzker, Sanders, Harris, Pocahontas, Polis, etc. IMO, any of those get into the WH, it is time to leave this country to the dogs.,
According to Breitbart.com, AOC beats JD Vance in a head to head election. Now, I don't agree with any polls, nor do I trust them. Polls are a tool used by the elites to sway election voting. However, they are already beginning the process. Even Breitbart, a supposedly conservative media site, is prepping the people to despair that JD Vance has any chance in winning.
We could very well live to see the day when an uneducated former bar tending horse faced doofus like AOC becomes president. Our system is that sick.
Scary, isn’t it.
How many folks in BRICS+ expect that to happen and will fund the effort?
I unfortunately think you're right.
I wouldn't be surprised if those laptops, and all copies they could find, are long gone. I hope they are not, but I can't imagine why they wouldn't be.
No the man that turned in the laptop had copies.
There are actual messages up on a website somewhere showing Hunter and his hookers smoking crack and one message where Hunter is begging the pimp to pick up his whore.
He asked her to leave and she wouldn't.
The pimp said she won't leave because you poked her in the butt and have too much crack.
There are hundreds of pages of messages and pictures of this man's terrible rotten teeth.
There is a lot more on the Hunter Biden laptop than photos. I have seen statements indicating there is evidence of a secret deal the Bidens made with dominion in Prague, contracts. Our nation's direction is always at the mercy of how honest the voting machines are. Who the hell has confidence in the machines if they have a freaking wifi connection and are networked? Anything networked can be easily exploited,
Yes but that stuff was not posted for obvious reasons.
The embarrassing details however were.
Hunter Biden is almost as big of a piece of shit as his father but at least he did not shower with his teenage daughter instead he railed his dead brothers wife.
My New Year's resolution is to ignore the government more than ever. Who needs all this theater and crappola cluttering up their lives?
No one is coming to save you. We (collectively) are on our own. Prepare accordingly, as we should have been doing all along. Pray and get right with The Lord. Something wicked this way comes.
Re: Susie Wiles, "the savviest Chief of Staff to ever haunt the West Wing."
How on earth do you grant interviews with people who hate your guts and would laugh and dance over your dead body - even once - much less eleven times?
Am I missing something here?
Selective editing by Vanity Fair. That is why they won't release the tapes of the interviews.
Susie should’ve been recording everything herself, with her staff as witnesses. Rookie. When I was a media director for Boston PD, whenever my boss sat down with the enemy for a tough interview, my staff was present and simultaneously recording. It keeps the editing down to nothing when you have the same tape. And that was in the late ‘90’s!
Before agreeing to the interview, she should have picked up a copy of Vanity Fair to learn the cut of its jib. Or at least had someone brief her on it.
The deep state's gatekeeper.
Wiles is clearly controlled by Israel and Netanyahu. She follows their orders.
IMO, Trump, Kash and Blondi are all compromised/controlled too.
Agreed….I was was dumbfounded that she would do this! Can’t believe she still has her job!
Note to fellow JHK readers - Kunstler’s latest novel “Look, I’m Gone” is a real page-turner. Finished it in nothing flat which is unusual for me. Hugely entertaining (no spoilers) and timed perfectly for the holidays (meaning, the story itself is set during the holidays). Do yourself a favor and order a copy. You’ll be happy you did.
I have to agree. It took me back to the weeks after JFK was shot, when I was a kid and he described perfectly the backdrops of New York City and snowy New Hampshire. A lovely, timely read.
While I was still a baby at the time of these events, the novel painted a picture of an NYC and New England that I grew up imagining it to be (note: I'm from the opposite coast).
Total agreement. Everything in a novel you could ask for. A perfect union of beautiful writing, great story telling and good cheer. I laughed my ass off. The NY publishing industry hasn’t produced anything this enjoyable in years. Order from Amazon, or enlightened independent bookstores such as Battenkill Books (battenkillbooks.com)and Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza (bhny.com).
Yes, yes, and yes to your third sentence. Haven't enjoyed a book this much in a very long time.
All the corruption starts in the US Senate and their influence(blue slip bullshit among others) over the confirmation process. Only 19/94 US attorneys have been 'appointed'; notice the Lindsay Halligan delay leading to Comey walking free.
As Sundance says "There are trillions at stake."
If a murder indictment is misspelled, the murderer does not get a permanent get-out-of-jail card- why is Comey not re-indicted? Pam "No-Arrest-for-the-Wicked" Bondi has a lot to answer for.
This is off-topic...but extremely important:
The COVID mRNA transfection bioweapons MUST be recalled and the inherently dangerous and deadly mRNA transfection platform MUST be banned.
https://tdefender.substack.com/p/chd-asks-fda-to-revoke-covid-vaccine-licenses-petition
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/community/tell-the-fda-to-revoke-licenses-on-covid-vaccines/
"Children’s Health Defense (CHD) is asking the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to revoke the licenses for all Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.
On Monday, CHD filed a Citizen Petition with the FDA and is urging the public, including healthcare workers, parents and military members, to submit comments on the petition."
Here's the direct link to submit a comment to the FDA about CHD's petition:
https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/FDA-2025-P-6831-0001
Here's the comment that I submitted:
I fully support the petition filed on behalf of Children’s Health Defense requesting that FDA revoke all licensure for COVID-19 mRNA "vaccines" as improperly granted.
The mRNA transfection platform itself is irreparably flawed & inherently dangerous and the platform itself IS the primary problem.
The mechanism of action (using mRNA instructions to turn one’s own cells into foreign non-self “spike protein factories”) IS the primary mechanism of harm. This triggers an immune system attack response, starting with the Killer T-Lymphocyte cells which will target & destroy one's formerly healthy cells, ANYWHERE in the body, that are now expressing non-self proteins...starting a cascade of damage at the deepest biological/cellular level.
Due to the systemic biodistribution properties of the (toxic & inflammatory) lipid nanoparticles, the encased (designed to be long-lasting) n1-methyl pseudouridine modified mRNA can go anywhere in the body, including crossing the blood-brain & placental barriers. The LNP "delivery vehicles" traveled to different parts of the body in different people.
Expressing any foreign non-self protein is fatal to the cell doing the expressing.
Some people will express lots of foreign proteins in vulnerable locations.
Others express less in less vulnerable areas.
The location of expression defines the adverse event: if you get foreign protein expression in your heart cells, you could get myocarditis & experience cardiac arrest; if the expression is in your brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nervous system, you could get one or more of a variety of neurological conditions; if in your eye, possible blindness; if in your ovaries, possible infertility; if in the placenta, possible miscarriage, stillbirth, or birth defects; if in the endothelial cells that line your blood vessels, possible vascular &/or microvascular injuries like clots/microclots or the long white fibrous clots, leading to strokes, heart attacks, or pulmonary embolisms…
If the expression of foreign proteins is in your own immune cells, you could experience immune dysfunction, dysregulation, & suppression including repeated infections, immune tolerance of a pathogenic foreign protein due to antibody subclass switch to IgG4 & increased IgG4-related diseases, T cell exhaustion, interference with & suppression of innate immunity, persistent systemic inflammation, dysregulation of toll-like receptors and reduced cancer surveillance or the suppression of tumor-suppressing immune system activities & cell-signaling (increasing your risk of fast-growing and aggressive cancers). And more…
Pathology reports, including from autopsies, have revealed & confirmed the Killer T Lymphocyte infiltration & destruction of cells, oftentimes in vital organs.
These modified mRNA-LNP genetic transfection injections never would have passed proper safety studies required for gene therapy products. Safety studies (including biodistribution, immunogenicity, immunotoxicity, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, shedding, long-term effects, & more) that were bypassed because of the mislabeling as “vaccines”. (And because of the EUA & “countermeasure” designations under the Project BioShield Act & PREP Act).
The danger is NOT limited to just getting more COVID “boosters”. ANY mRNA gene “therapy” product that transfects your cells & instructs those cells to produce non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) will trigger an immune system attack response against your own cells & tissues. This makes EVERY mRNA-based transfection product harmful by design.
This immune response to one's own cells being instructed to express non-self proteins (ANY non-self protein) triggers autoimmune responses, & then T-cell exhaustion & immune system dysfunction, regardless of whether or not the foreign protein is toxic itself.

The immune dysfunction & collapse that has manifested in an unprecedented number of people worldwide, accompanied by surges in autoimmune conditions, chronic infections, cancers, & cardiometabolic disease is unfortunately very real, no matter how much some want to deny what is happening.
This is not speculation. This is measurable — in lymphocyte counts, antibody profiles, T-cell exhaustion markers, & verified clinical outcomes, including deaths.
AND shedding from these mRNA transfection injections IS an extremely serious concern, with some people being affected more than others.

The COVID mRNA transfection shots must be recalled.
A cancer is a set of DNA modified cells that lose connectivity to the host and competes and usually wins against controlled host cells. Now realize that studies have already shown that mRNA has the ability to modify, through reverse transcriptase, the DNA of liver cells. Does that not show the ability to create new cancers?
Add on the effect of loading up the body with s proteins over a period of time, causing the memory system of T and B cells to be erased with attrition. Is it any wonder that all kinds of immune disorders occur. Do not even argue virus versus Vaxx either as the S protein assault is the same. At least with the disease, it subsides after a week, not so much with modified S protein producers.
Well done! Thank you.
I've said it before and I'll say it again
Nothing will happen to the traitors who turned Trump 1.0 presidency into a fvcking quagmire
James Mead-- You cynicism is not cool or clever. Does not make you seem wise, just nihilistic.
And yet, Jim, that's how so many of us feel.
He's just telling the truth, James Kunstler.
Mr. Kunstler I'm neither trying to be cool or clever.
I look at it as Reality.
No one from the Obama administration or the Biden administration will spend one day in prison as a convicted criminal.
I'm also a Christian who believes that things will get worse before Christ returns.
Cheers
Christless Christianity claims He’s coming while not recognizing He’s already here and ruling. And puffs its chest out while doing so.
No, He's not here, and this isn't His world, yet.
Basic Christian doctrine for the last 2,000 years has been that Christ will return.
Pretty pathetic, James. Is dreaming that there will be accountability “cool and clever”?
Exactly. I have been a huge fan of JHK for many years, and agree on the vast majority of things he says, but the blind optimism (which has thus far been proven baseless) mystifies me
Agreed. People forget what our forebears were up against and how few, in comparison to filthy England, they numbered. Yes times have changed and "they're" deeply entrenched, including our (cough) military, but they are not impervious and we are not yet dead. Resignation is a boon to your enemies.
Merry Christmas, JHK. I have LIG on a bedside table, after everyone leaves my home after the holidays, I will have a moment to read it and I'm very much looking forward to that. This year has been.. daunting. And yet we are not gone. Not yet! PS I enjoy your prose and skills at making me double over with laughter, or shed fat tears. Your style hits me in the solar plexus. I'm glad I found your work.
cynic n.: a blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be.
Ambrose Bierce
But he's right though, Jim.
I think that James likes having lots of readers, and believes that by pretending all these promised indictments are just about to happen, real soon, he will maintain their interest. This nonsense is unnecessary. Mr. Kunstler is an excellent writer with a keen eye as to what is going on in this troubled nation. I have read, and thoroughly enjoyed, the books in in World Made by Hand series. I will keep reading his bi-weekly column, but tire of being told, week in and week out, "Indictments are coming!". . .Days of Thunder. . .James should just be honest with his readers instead. Personally, I believe that Trump will just stop the bleeding, and halt the decline of the US for 4 years, and once he is out of office, things will be back to business as usual. If you saw all the famous liberal elitists at Cheney's recent funeral, hobnobbing and socializing with each other, you can tell, they know that NOTHING is going to happen to them, they are just waiting for the end of Trump's term to get back to undermining and working to destroy the US.
Cynicism not cool?
Nihilism not wise?
How can the sentient be otherwise?
As one who has had the occasional peek behind the curtain, I can see a lot of people are trying to "set things aright" and it must be disheartening for those attempting to do what we are asking for to hear this continuous wah wah wah, they're not doing anything like they do in the 42 minutes of my favorite TV crime show!
Add in the power and resources available to the Conspiracy, billionaire America haters, a political party morphed into a simulacrum of the 1905 Bolshevik criminal conspiracy, plus a media and judiciary obviously infested with fellow travelers and enablers of the Conspiracy. It is not hyperbole to say these investigators and prosecutors have a Homeric and Herculean task, and like Sisyphus from time to time have to start all over pushing the boulder back up the hill, all the while enduring potshots and booby traps from the above mentioned entities.
When I say nothing will happen (and so far have been correct), I'm not saying it because i think these people won't do it (bring justice), it's because i think they can't. We're too far gone regardless of how hard they're trying
JK,
you often come off, in your replies to your readers,
as a real prick
Some of the readers he replied to came off as real pricks.
give examples
That was a cockroach-type response, Zio-Jimbo.
He only spoke truth... why did that make YOU spot your panties?
Not publicly. Not where it should be.
Carl von Clausewitz famously observed that war is the continuation of politics by other means. Today, it seems our once-fabled criminal justice system can be added to that maxim. The phenomenon is strikingly odd: everyone sees it, everyone understands it, and yet - with a wink and a nod - it continues unabated.
War is the failure of politics. That is why the failure of the Red-Blue dilemma in the country, especially Congress IS a war, Cold so far but getting warmer every day.
The sad sad truth is that Trump is not who we hoped he would be. He won't deliver on Epstein, or all of the deep state prosecutions, because they got to him. Maybe when he had some time to reflect on his assassination attempt(s), he decided that, "These people are serious!" Maybe when they explained to him that it wouldn't be just him, but his wife and kids as well, he just folded.
And then there were the big donations. "You owe us, you know..." various donors said. As it turns out, he was not who we hoped he would be, and our expectations were indeed grandiose. Maybe they promised him they wouldn't try to make him spend the rest of his short life (post presidency) in prison if he played along.
So now it appears he believes that if he starts a typical American post-WW II war, against a
small, effectively unarmed country in comparison to the US behemoth, the predictable jingoism will kick in and everyone will forget about everything else.
Face it. He wasn't up to the job and he folded. He tried. For a while anyway. Maybe he got tired. Maybe his kids told him they weren't willing to die for the cause, even if he was.
I think threatening someone's family happens more often than we think. But if anyone showed up at my house to give me such an ultimatum, I'd take him out. I'd go to my bedroom, get my .357, and shoot him. Or her. Then I'd burn the body in the back yard.
Kathy,
Unfortunately, you will have to turn the gun on yourself
to avoid being taken alive, or they will shoot you until their
guns run out of ammo.
But I am in agreement with you...but I'm 81 and don't care anymore
about this life.
True, but it opens the window, does it not?
A well-armed populace is the best defense against tyranny.
Nothing else comes close.
Tyranny comes in body armor and in large well-armed groups. Often with armored vehicles.
Hard for a well-armed populace to fight it... unless massive coordination is done, bringing MANY together for protection and support and defense.
That's true, and that's where guerilla tactics come into play. Sun Tzu.
Very good point!
Nonetheless, guns remain the most effective defense.
I'm glad that Trump at least managed to widen the Overton Window, but he has certainly failed to speak out publicly on the millions dead from the dangerous and defective mRNA. Makes him look owned by Pfizer.
He has also not spoken out about the 100,000+ innocent slaughtered in Gaza by the vicious pigs of Israel's IDF... based on an Oct 7 false flag...
A slaughter than Trump armed and funded.
He is now a major war criminal... his unprovoked bombings of Iran and Yemen, his extrajudicial murders of Venezuelan "drug" boat SUSPECTS...
Maybe he and Bibi will share a cell someday?
It's actually worse than that, because Israel was funding Hamas to prevent Palestinian unity.
But drug boat runners deserve to be blown out of the water immediately upon positive ID. They are killing 100,000 Americans per year.
number 6,
You give Trump too much credit.
He's nothing but a GRIFTER.
Always has been.
He only cares for himself, his legacy, and his wealth.
He's a giant PSYCHOPATHIC, NARCISSIST, MEGALOMANIAC
and he will rot in hell along with his father.
Yes, we all thought Trump was going to save us. (Like buying a boat, the happiest days are when you buy it and when you sell it. ) Not looking forward to midterms and the return of the transgenders and lawfare.
He was the wrong man for the job. Maybe the task of saving America is too big for ANY one man. Maybe too saving it would involve a level of nastiness that few reasonable humans would be willing to commit too. The best hope now is for the whole system to crash so we can begin building something better from the ruins. Easy words to type - and I have a family too - but the last chance of reforming the system from within has gone.
I believe the stress and the consistent badgering cracked him. DJT is an alpha male, no doubt, but he's a human being and no human being is designed to handled so much stimulus as has been heaped upon his head. I admire DJT. I always have and I always will. He's an impressive person. But, he has his limits and his limits have been reached.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. I would love to see DJT hold a national press conference and from the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office sit calmly behind the desk, raise his right hand and extend as far as he can, his middle finger, right at the camera. He would sit there for a few seconds and then say, "fuck you, America. I did my best. I gave it all I could to save our country and all you people did was bicker, argue and fight against me. I'm out." The cameras then go dark and Mr. Trump disappears forever. Gone to one of his private islands where he spends the rest of his days sipping margaritas on the beach surrounded by naked women. I would not blame him at all if he were to do this. He won't do this because of his ego.
That's the way I see it. The stress has broken him. It's too much for one man to handle. It's broken him.
alpha male my ass.
he's a beta pussy bully
who learned how to use
money to badger people
into doing what he wants
or he tries to destroy them.
A true alpha male uses his
powers for the good of people
and society.
"A true alpha male uses his powers for the good of people and society."
According to whom? Since when does an alpha male have to be a good guy? Josef Stalin was an alpha male and he was one of the biggest mass murderers on the planet. Was Mao a good guy when he starved millions of his fellow countrymen?
I disagree. Not all alpha males are warm tender souls whose only concern is the welfare of those around them. That, my friend, Cedric, is a pipe dream and is not based in reality.
So true. Cankerpuss. Being powerful is one thing. How you use that power is another issue.
I did find Trump's condolence card to the surviving Reiner's a bit odd. I've received kinder messages from bill collectors, lawyers suing me, and my cousin Frieda - that time I had her deported.
Trump's comments on the Reiners' deaths
just shows what a truly sick asshole he is.
Absolutely NO COMPASSION for anyone
no matter how horrible the incident was.
He can do no wrong...about anything.
The sign of a very sick mind.
His speech Thursday just amplified
what a compulsive liar he is.
He even quoted incredibly phony statistics
which he always does.
He has no idea of anything factual.
He just blows smoke up our asses continually
making delusional claims not even closely
related to reality
Reiner was a sick asshole himself...
But I get your point.
I didn't say alpha males HAD TO BE good people.
But Trump is definitely NOT an alpha male.
He's not even truly a human being.
"A true alpha male uses his powers for the good of people and society."
I guess I misunderstood. My apologies.
Cedric,
Sooo...there are no "true" alpha" males in prison? In the Ghetto? In the corporate corner offices?
Never said anything like that.
You're grasping for things.
The term alpha male is often applied to any dominating man, especially bullies,[10] despite the fact that dominating behavior is rarely seen as a positive trait for either an ideal date or a romantic partner
Sooo, there is a fundamental difference between an "Alpha Male" and a "True Alpha Male"?
You gotta help me out here....
He sold his soul to Israel. And to Big Pharma. Likely for BIG bucks.
He deserves no credit or admiration... the 100,000 lost souls of Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and Syria call out for his damnation... he funded and supported their MURDERS.
I used to think that, but not now. You imply that the guy really cares about saving America. I don't think he really does - and maybe never did. His tweets show him to be a malignant narcissistic and increasingly unhinged by megalomania. You can think of Reiner what you want, but who in their right mind sends out a tweet like Trump did after Reiner's horrible death? There never was any there there.
Perhaps. But then again, my opinion and yours are conjecture. Nobody really knows what is going on in the head of DJT other than DJT. Yes, his comments on Reiner were very inappropriate, especially coming from a guy whose death would elicit jubilant celebrations from millions. Leftists will pay to piss and defecate on DJT's gravesite.
In true conservative republican fashion, we hold our side to higher moral standards than we do the other side. And pay the price for it. DJT tells it like it is and our hair catches on fire. I'm tired of the moralizing about his tweets and his words. It's actions that count and some of his has raised my ire, but I will go to my death, or his, believing that he is a true patriot.
No argument from me. I'm not offended by someone who speaks his mind, even if it is inappropriate. I do question a lot of Trump's lack of action on many pertinent political matters, then again, I also understand that as President, Trump cannot do much without a willing Congress. The President does not make law. So, I don't have very high expectations that much of what he promised will come to fruition. I wish more Americans would hold their Congress accountable. Congress, the biggest failure of the American political system and most people don't even bat an eyelash at it.
The corruption of America is staggeringly breathtaking. Its decline and fall tracks exactly that of the Roman republic. Both republics collapsed into failure because of the corruption of manners (i.e. moral and intellectual virtue at all levels of society). That corruption is “democracy” in action, where simpletons and fools (unfit even to govern themselves) vie for election to public office and immortality. Truly, our so-called “representative democracy” could not be more representative of American character.
I used to believe there was a stark difference between the American people and the American system of government. Not so anymore. The similarities are stark.
1. The US Government lives well beyond its means and is saddled by crushing debt. The American people live well beyond their means and are saddled by crushing debt.
2. The US Government, or those in the government, have no morals. The American people, by and large, have no morals. Marriage infidelity is high. Pornography is rampant. People fornicate and use abortion as a means of birth control.
3. The US Government is anti-god. The American people have become less and less religious.
4. The US Government is pro-war. The American people are pro-war putting the troops on a pedestal and worshipping them like heroes when they don't even know why they are making war in poor shithole countries like Yemen.
5. The US Government steals from its people. The American people steal from their fellow Americans by taking welfare they don't deserve, disability they don't deserve or tax refunds on taxes they never paid.
6. The US Government worships death and brings death to innocents. The American people worship death in the entertainment and wholesale support of abortion.
America has the government it wants. I truly believe a righteous people would not tolerate an unrighteous government. That is not the case in America anymore.
I read the other day on Breitbart that Porn Hub, the largest distributor of on line porn has more than 100 million premium subscribers. Think about that and let that one sink in.
True, but you can't expect the people to be any better than their government and vice versa. Virtuosity must start at the top, and presently, that's impossible. Our government is run by ungodly men and women because that's what we vote for. Because they mirror ourselves.
"Virtuosity must start at the top"
I don't necessarily agree with that, Kathy. The Government is OF the PEOPLE. That means that the government is OURS. It is our responsibility. We ARE the creators of that government we are therefore responsible for it. If we do not hold the government accountable, who will?
Virtuosity, in my opinion starts with the people who created the government. You and I cannot steal from our neighbors so the government should not be stealing from us. The authority of the created cannot and should not ever exceed the authority of the creator. That is what we have now.
Because we the people are the government we have a responsibility to bring an unrighteous government down and an unrighteous people will not do so. Only a truly righteous people would do so and our people are not a truly righteous people. Our people are a people ripe for destruction.
"Because they mirror ourselves."
Now that I agree with.
Excellent discussion. Thanks!
Yes: all of the skeins of evidence, connections among malefactors, and smoking guns, as diligently and skillfully assembled by our host here, are tantalizing. Always wishing for a different, better world, they raise hopes in us that something - any damned thing - can be done about it all. Fatuous hopes.
The visible tip of the Deep State iceberg suggests a world in which wrongs, once identified, can be righted, and justice can be served. Sadly, our flailing, rotten empire is well past such a point. The visible infrastructure upon which our commerce and daily lives depend may be crumbling, but the hidden infrastructure for graft and corruption has never been more robust, and its iron grip is unthreatened.
Even such egregious evidence as Hunter Biden’s laptop hardly causes the forces of darkness to break out in a nervous sweat. It’s just tossed into the black hole from which no incriminating evidence can escape.
When the midterm elections knock the legs out from under the MAGA movement, US politics will be less frustrating for us, because abundant cause for false hope will be gone.
I've been saying it for years: Until people start going to prison-if not the gallows- it's all theater.
When are you going to admit the truth--that Donald Trump never intended to hold ANY of the evil and corrupt Democrats accountable for their many crimes? This was all a huge lie, intended to get him into the White House and to raise funds for the Republican Party. Donald Trump is, in fact, focused on fixing problems--in Nigeria. In the Ukraine. In the Middle East. He's not interested in helping this country. The tired old lies--Trust the Plan, Justice is coming, we're just about to put all these evil Democrats in Jail, real soon, for sure this time--will be trotted out to fund-raise for the mid terms. Stop being gullible and naive.
