Everything makes sense once you realize that approximately half (or more) of the people sitting in Congress--Senate and House both--are not interested in the good of the country and are motivated exclusively by self-interest, which encompasses 1) their retention of power, and 2) personal wealth. They can't have 2) without 1), so they are doing whatever it takes to assure re-election. If that requires importing a new group of voters, that's fine by them. If that means eventual destruction of the country, that's fine as well, because by the time that happens, their personal wealth will have provided them with a handy escape route elsewhere. For the rest of us who can't (or choose not to) leave, that's tough. Sucks to be us.
The US Senate became impotent when it was taken from the states and given to the people. It is nothing more than a glorified House of Representatives. The 17th amendment should be repealed.
Why stop there? The Second Amendment is a notoriously poorly drafted law, with terrible consequences for American society. You all should get rid of it.
Of course it's a law. That's what the U.S. constitution is, the overarching legal document that sets the terms for all law in the USA. Your comment is a shining example of exactly why the second amendment is a bad law: because people don't think of it as a law enacted by men, they think of it as holy scripture.
I'll clue you in on something: the people of the USA are no threat to its government. If they were, would Trump, Rubio, Hegseth and the rest have dared to start a war with Iran after campaigning against foreign wars? They do these things because they understand there is no threat to them no matter how much they lie to the rubes. And if they ever do really feel threatened, no one in power will give half a second's thought to any provision of the constitution, second amendment or otherwise. They'll just gun you down in the street and saying "fucking bitch" afterward. We saw it happen very recently in Minneapolis. That was them, demonstrating the truth of what I'm saying. They just dress it up as being about illegal aliens because that plays so well with the rubes. It's about you, the second you really step out of line.
Well, he's Canadian, so that kind of goes with the territory. They don't have a right to keep and bear arms, but they do have the right to have a doctor kill them if they feel a bit out of sorts.
Start with the dependent clause: "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State". Does the word 'state' refer to any particular one of the thirteen original colonies (the states)? To each of them severally, to all of them together? Does it refer to the State as a concept, meaning government in general? That would have to include the federal government as well. It's far from clear which particular, discrete entity or entities the word is meant to refer to. That's poor drafting: ambiguity, uncertainty, doubt.
Notice also that this is in the context of "the security of" a "free state". By what textual evidence (I mean the actual words on paper, not your personal interpretation) does that mean the people of that state, i.e. the security of ordinary citizens? It would make at least as much sense, perhaps more, to say it means the security of the state, which could very well mean its security against its own citizens. By the 19th century, there were "free states" as opposed to "slave states", where slavery was practised. Could this have been interpreted to mean the constitution protected free states against the slave states? I know how dumb that sounds, but language is slippery and lawyers are relentless. Everyone benefits when the law is clear. There's nothing on paper to say what the vague phrase "security of a free state" is meant to protect and what it isn't. More poor drafting: more ambiguity, uncertainty, doubt.
Now the main clause: "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Historically, the phrase "the people" has a particular meaning in the USA. If you get charged with littering, your case will be constituted as "The People vs. Cosmo T Kat". Here "the people" means the prosecution, representing the public interest in punishing antisocial conduct. The wording of the second amendment doesn't make clear whether "the people" means "the public interest", which is safeguarded by government, or if it means ordinary people's right to keep and bear arms. Obviously plenty of people think it does mean the latter, but I repeat, that's their interpretation. What's on paper doesn't make it clear one way or the other. That's a poorly drafted law.
Absolutely. It exists in present form not in the manner laboriously negotiated through the traditionally hot and humid summer months in Philadelphia.
It could (the Convention) be described as a 'sort of coup', because the original intent was to fix the Articles of Confederation. After some attempts they scrapped the Articles and started over.
The House of Representatives was a popularly elected body whose seats were based on population. The Senate was designed to be an equalizer. It was to be controlled by the individual state legislatures who would choose and send two Senators each to the bicameral legislative body.
This is often referred to as the Connecticut Compromise.
Things weren't really going well, the convention almost dissolved. The Compromise (under various names) is considered by many as one which saved the convention.
This compromise not only saved the convention but shaped American federalism by balancing popular sovereignty with state sovereignty.
The Seventeenth Amendment undid this delicate balance.
I have an alternate interpretation. What you call a "balance between popular sovereignty and state sovereignty" was in fact a design to frustrate popular sovereignty, in favour of the propertied class in whose interest the revolution was actually fought.
Most ordinary people in the thirteen colonies cared little about the policies of the British crown. It was the moneyed and the ambitious who chafed at limitations e.g. on westward expansion, and on abolitionism which was beginning to bite in the latter half of the 18th century. For example, the Somerset case in 1772, which held that no slave could be forcibly removed from England, was understood to mean that the condition of slavery did not exist under English law in England and Wales. This was an obvious threat to American slaveowners: this precedent must not be allowed to extend to American shores, lest they be deprived of property.
They and their northern counterparts waged the revolution very much for the freedom to go on extracting wealth from their slaves, and more wealth from more and more Indian land. This is also the likely real reason why the second amendment was enacted: under the state they themselves were founding, they wanted to ensure access to the tools of violence, indispensable for controlling their slaves and exterminating natives. Following the civil war, the question of slavery was deemed to be addressed by the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, but the 2nd was left untouched (understandably, since unlike slavery both sides agreed on the need to go on exterminating Indians).
Once the frontier closed, the original purpose of the 2nd amendment was largely exhausted -- its remaining goals had been achieved. But it stayed on the books, and over time, the text of the amendment grew conflated in the popular imagination with things like Jefferson's remark about the tree of liberty being watered with the blood of tyrants, thus creating the death cult that is today's gun culture in the USA. And as for the elected Senate, it simply represents a restoration to the people of rights that should have been recognized to begin with.
That is an absolutely negative and twisted view of the founders and their reasons for going to war. You've been reading too many anti-America books methinks.
There's even a whole new group of gender, bullshit ones and they're remarkably flammable..... I donate them to the Inuit.... they have good families they strive to keep intact and they certainly like the extra heating fuel ‼️
Every word I wrote can be fact checked. Make sure to read the primary sources, i.e. what people said and did at the time, not the sugar-coated Chamber of Commerce narrative you were taught in school. If the facts look bad, it's because the facts were bad.
"Because among all the broken institutions in our country, Congress is the worst."
YES! It is. The US Congress is a failure of epic and colossal proportions. It is an utter joke. The "representatives" who get into Congress are prohibited from thinking for themselves and always vote along party lines, regardless of what their constituents back in their districts want. So these fuckers in Congress spend their time on their committees holding "hearings" where they verbally abuse some poor sucker who answered the summons to come to Congress so they can get a sound byte on Tic Tok or Instagram. They don't listen to each other, they care not about listening to each other. They do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that benefits the American people. I can't think of one thing the failed Congress has done that personally benefits me.
The US Congress is nothing more than a bickering boys and girls club of grifters and criminals.
Americans should be pissing razorblades in anger at the abject failure that is the US Congress. Instead of pointing fingers at Trump, Biden, Obama, and Bush they should be pointing fingers at Congress and demanding more from their legislature. Afterall, Congress controls the purse, Congress makes law (not the President) and Congress can override a Presidential veto.
Unfortunately, so many people are caught up in TDS and BDS that they ignore the gigantic pile of stinking shit that is the US Congress. Congress needs to be reformed from top to bottom. I propose the following:
1. A national lottery of native born net tax paying US citizens.
2. Drafted in said lottery for 1 legislative term consisting of one 3 month legislative session in Washington.
3. Once session is finished, representative returns to their job in their district. No more full time Congressional careers.
4. Increase the size of the Congress to 2,000, 4,000 or more representatives to improve the representation of the people.
Mr. Kunstler blames the SCOTUS when they gave corporations campaign contributions. He's right but I also believe Congress was ruined when legislators became a full time career instead of public service.
Excellent post. I believe that the ruin started when people realized they could vote themselves piles of other peoples money and wealth. As Franklin warned, the end of the Republic.
The Federal Register is the document that catalogs and records all Federal Legislation. It is a voluminous document consisting of thousand and thousand of pages.
There are so many laws passed by "congress" that the average American commits 2 felonies per day and doesn't even know about it. Add to that all the state laws, county laws and city laws........well, you get the picture.
Each congressional term should include a period in which no legislation can be passed, but laws on the books can be repealed. We need to stop thinking laws are sacred and settled forever. Congress should get into the habit of questioning what they and their predecessors voted for.
We judge a congress critter to be effective by how many bills they sponsor and become law. Not a good way to judge their effectiveness. For every new law passed they should be required to repeal two others.
Most legislation is bought and paid for (and written) by corporate interests. Think big tech and big pharma and it has nothing to do with protecting America.
Citizens United went the way it did because a) the Supreme Court found that corporations are people 200 years ago, and b) unions and similar organizations had been funding the Democrats for decades, so Citizens United was supposed to level the playing field. Plus, since John Roberts was involved, you can bet there was a payoff somewhere regarding the ruling.
I have not deep dived the Epstein file dumps because I need to sleep well enough to function at work but I do believe John Robert's is a pedophile. This would explain some of his rulings. Blackmail controls many in Congress and elsewhere.
How about the corrupt bribery operations of undeclared foreign agents (disguised as PACs) that are so heavily influencing "the gigantic pile of stinking shit that is the US Congress"??
I will never leave. I've been around, living here and there. Saw all kinds of politics: monarchies, parliaments, grand socialist experiments, and communistic focus. I will never leave because this is the only place where humans have a chance at freedom and the pursuit of happiness. True independence is risky, and we've been spending our time on frivolities and envy; we wanted to be superficial, and we achieved that, but now, we need to wake up and support the effort to right us up, unless we make the 250th the end of the road. There are no places to run to; I know I've checked! Fight for what was and what could be again!
"this is the only place where humans have a chance at freedom and the pursuit of happiness."
Actually, humans aren't free here in the USA. Let me tell you about that insidious little thing called a property tax. We all pay it if we "own" property or a home. The County, under the authority of the State, collects annual rent payments from us. Every year we pay the County a tax based upon the estimated value of our real property.
If we refuse to pay this annual rental payment the County will fine us daily until the tax and the fees are paid. If we still refuse to pay the tax and the penalty they can do one of two things:
1. Put our property up for tax sale and sell the property from under us to another.
2. Sell the lien to an investor who can then either foreclose on your property or cause you to pay the back taxes.
Either way, the County and State can take property that you have paid for and sell it to another.
In short, Americans can never truly own property. The government owns every square inch of the 50 states. We are just rentin it. We are serfs and the government is our lord.
That isn't freedom. The founders envisioned us being able to own property, free and clear from intrusion from ANYONE. The Declaration, in original drafts, said "the pursuit of life, liberty and PROPERTY." That was ultimately removed in favor of "happiness."
If we cannot own any property we are nothing and we are certainly NOT free.
YES, and it was tolerated until now, but people are waking up. Isn't this the very thing Mitch Vexler is exposing? It has started, and if we want to get deeper in the rabbit hole, we could surely expose the education/school board taxes that are eating at everything and yet graduate kids who can't read or add. This is not a perfect union, but it's infinitely better than anything I've seen and experienced. At least here you can fight the system, and sometimes you win!

As a non-certified un-license historian I have to say, Thus It Has Ever Been.
Example
Is This Man the Second Biggest Traitor in US History?
Wilson and Thee Roosevelt got the ball rolling, then FDR, the murderous racist El BJ, Bubba, the Islamist racist Soetoro, and the senile drunk Biden just took the ball down the field.
Old Abe Lincoln got the ball rolling when he over threw the Constitution of 1788 and changed the "union." The Federalists won during his presidency and the States and the people took it up the ass.
The War Between the States marked the end of the republic shaped by the Founders. Abe Lincoln abolished the right of any state or states to stand against the federal behemoth, let alone the right to leave it.
Before the war people said, "The United States are." Following the war, the phrase changed to, "The United States is."
Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, LBJ, and Nixon were the Presidents who have done the most damage to this nation. The absolute worst was Abraham Lincoln. He over threw the Constitution of 1788 and turned the nation from a "union of sovereign States" into a union composed of small, powerless administrative districts.
FDR died on my birthday, the Civil War started on my birthday, Yuri Gagarin the first man into space on my birthday.... actually a Russian you could really like he was non-political and very friendly and didn't seem to have any fervor for his shitty government.
As a personal point of pride, I have no equivocation ....FDR dying on my birthday is an added bonus every year I blow out a few extra candles telling him "Where you are residing, you don't need any more fire my dude! "
🔥I'm sure a cabin on the shores of the lake of fire has done wonders for his polio..... and the homosexual demons probably give him quite a workout every day....,, such is death‼️
The purveyor of the 'screw deal'
"We have nothing to fear… Oh wait a minute I'm stuck in hell for eternity, what am I saying FFS‼️"
My mother was politically brilliant....she was frustrated lawyer in that she wanted to be a lawyer when women were not allowed to be. I would love to have had her take on Obama. We won't even talk about the Biden era in which I was getting prepared to get the hell out of Dodge if things went further south.
True, there have always been self-seekers and traitors in our midst, but their numbers have grown almost geometrically, possibly now become overwhelming. It remains to be seen whether our country can survive.
I keep rope, shovels and a Slingblade in the trunk..... we might just get lucky In our travels... Took out the guillotine it was going a little too hard on the gas miles.....
My Bible tells me it won't. Doesn't mean you quit fighting or don't put up a gallant effort....
For Christ's sake, when you have a pope or let's say popes, who don't even study the Bible or give enough of a shit to follow it....
Then surely your leaders are of a similar character or even lesser,
We are getting a biblical lesson now with a man we have voted for three times in a row.
Apparently, to his detriment and ours, he can't humble himself, even after being shot in the head. Recently, he was unfortunately joking about whether he was going to wind up in hell or not. I would say I'm baffled, but Satan is no fool. He knows where the draft comes in on your door and he'll start right in that tiny spot with his crowbar.
He doesn't need to fully corrupt you just a little bit.
I pray for TRUMP, Trump is not my savior or yours and we are learning a big lesson here you cannot put your faith in Kings or concubines....
"In a ponzi or hoodwink economy or system, too, walking away from some forms of debt would also seem like an imperative/rebellion/revolt/resistance/etc., such as for example, in light of stealing from future generations; corporate welfare/bailouts; or a governpimp generally racking up other forms of debt to the detriment of its captive populations that have little to do with it.
Why pay back debt that one’s slavemasters/pimps accrued by other slavemasters/pimps? Makes little sense. So any discussion of debt needs to take these kinds of things into consideration to have clearer meaning."
"I’ve recently had another such verbal seed crystal drop into my mind. This one wasn’t anything like as worldshaking as the concept of decline has turned out to be, and it also had a curious feature; I grasped the concept in an instant but I had to invent a word for it. The word I came up with is 'lenocracy'. The first part of that word comes from leno, the Latin term for a pimp. Yes, what the word means is a government of pimps...
Right now, in the modern industrial world, we live in an economy where nearly all exchanges are subject not just to the exactions of a single pimp but to whole regiments of pimps, each of whom has to be paid in order for the exchange to take place. Furthermore, this orgy of pimping is sponsored, controlled, and mandated by government at all levels and by the holders of political and economic power more generally. Thus, lenocracy."
Even the Arab states (and Iranian population) are thanking Israel for their intervention. How does it feel to have your wn bias be so thwarted that you cannot even understand what’s going on??
What are you talking about? They responded instantly as soon as they were given the greenlight it was party on.....
They revel and wallow in this kind of bullshit so let's stop calling this a one-sided thing either way......
Everybody has the capability to be a Nazi of one form or another...... there is no difference making evil decisions about your behavior whether you're wearing a suit and tie or your groveling in the dirt... fucking, killing and eating children..... then burning down their homes.
It won't make a dime's difference when it comes to your judgment that's why you're looking at two groups of losers, and they're gonna be judged for the same crimes you were either the planner or the player none of them get out of here alive..... they're facing eternal death.
To pull off shit like this that's absolutely satanic in nature and it's going to bar you from entering heaven. Not to mention the faith that both of these groups are following is utter horseshit anyway..
One is made up of whole violent cloth plagiarized from the two larger religions before it. The other one is not only forsaking their savior but developing their own God complex.… to rule the world… Like Satan's actually gonna get out of their way that's a laugher. This isn't Babylon part Deux but they can't get their heads out of their asses.
I find both sides at fault. It certainly does look like a stand down. There's no getting around the information leaking out and the timing alone is insane.
Do not for one minute think that excuses the fucking behavior from the howler monkeys crossing into Israel..... possibly Netanyahu gave them their moment and they sure as fuck went hog wild cause that's who they are..,,. The depravity was off the charts, the eageress to do it, the amount of tools of pure violence they had with them and the creepy shit they were instantaneously doing....... bringing the depths of hell straight up to the surface of the Earth. If you're gonna pick a side here, remember this… One of the few times you can actually believe people who are prone to lying and do it all too easilyis when they show you who they are.
The only thing they didn't do was boil the Jews but more than likely they would tell you they don't taste good. Apparently they missed the email from Epstein.
Here's the good news. Christ is going to have a reckoning with both sides when he comes back.
I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. They'll be shitting themselves senseless when the judgment comes down for their behavior. It's nothing to laugh about. It's nothing to take solace in. It's not our revenge.
Try to imaginary eternity and then see what you're gonna do about. Making sure yours Isn't that horrific… I'll say it again...
Complicating matters are emerging accusations of deception. Reports indicate Israel may be attacking Gulf states—striking energy sites in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar—while attributing them to Iran. These potential false flags aim to draw Arab nations deeper into the fray, securing oil routes and bolstering coalition unity. Iranian officials have decried them as “Zionist tricks,” and online sleuths on X are geolocating strikes, analyzing drone telemetry, and debunking claims in real time.
I suspect you’ve never led the armed forces. Or perhaps even been in one. So, what do you do…maybe have a plan and organize y our troops? Or just run in like its some kind of video game?
Life in the US is unaffordable, our cities are crumbling, unaccountable elite predators at the helm. So what we really need is another regime change war in the Middle East? More death, destruction, higher prices for everyone, and billions, probably trillions, tossed into an abyss. Shouldn't our beef be with our own regime?
Actually, the end is closer than you think. Read my next comment below this one.. we are told not to pick the time and day of Christ's return,but meanwhile the UN has their shitty agenda 2030 coming up very close. God has his plans, and Satan is gnashing his teeth because he knows his days are numbered. Looking at events going on with the WEF and all this other horseshit. Destroying genitals destroying the family destroying the church building AI erasing humans.
Read up and you'll see that Satan's only goal is to get as many people in hell as he can and destroy man the one thing God calls his greatest creation.
We are fervently, trying to destroy something really ugly in Persia right now (for the record there is no Iran and no Iranians. These people are shoving the Persians off their own land. Just like Palestine another place that never existed… Palestine was a Roman word and rather derogatory for the land where the Jews live) just as we fight battles here on earth. God has been clashing with Satan since the falling.
I like your comment nomad but here's the deal and it's hard for people to embrace this. Sometimes I can't get this through my head.
It's all gonna crash. Nothing in that Bible that's been predicted has ever not followed through. Fortunately, yet, unfortunately for us as odd as that sounds. I don't think man has the capability to change God's mind, especially with the pattern of behavior. The Bible was written for many reasons and one of them is to warn you right now there is only one way out.... I've watched this over the decades as well just when you think the left can't get any crazier they sit around holding each other's beer and the circle jerk rolls on and on and on circling down the drain. You don't have to go with it.
I meant what I said above. I don't like it, but I have to live it and I'm gonna follow what Christ tells me and that is to hold onto him and it doesn't mean there won't be trials and there won't be pain and maybe even death. But I'm not gonna forsake him for the antichrist, for the beast, for Satan for the love of Epstein. It's not gonna happen.
By studying fervently more in my Bible I am prepared for what's coming, whether I like it or not. Are you talking about this stuff with my mother when I was 13. Now I just go back and study deeper for greater understanding just like reading a plumbing manua. I'm also prepared to open my mouth and tell people the good news at the same time I fight it and I continue to vote and do the things that I can.
It's weird when people say you should be blessed to live in these times and in a way we are, but you were designed to be here no matter what you think. There is not a lot of time left.
The Bible tells me not to pick a time and a day and I'm not doing that, but it tells me to keep my eye out for the signs and they are everywhere and this is a snowball rolling down a hill. It might hit a tree and deflect and slow down briefly, but it's gonna pick up speed again. We're gonna see a lot of shit happening fast before we go.
I'm gonna say it again. Find Christ explore what he offers you, make your decision, save your eternity. It's not about this place. I can't stand it here either day by day. It's like carrying an anvil around. When I cope with a savior and I move forward that's real progress not that horseshit coming from the left side of insanity down there in Washington.
Jesus was coming, but a jumbo jet plowed into him and his entourage!!!
Feathers everywhere!!!
Carl Jung, influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology and religious studies, in his autobiography "Memories Dream Reflections" said "I will not discuss the transparent prophecies of the Book of Revelation because no one believes in them and the whole subject is an embarrassing one."
Believers in prophecy often like to cite the long period of elapsed time between the prophecy and its "fulfilment". As making the original prophecy more impressive. But unless the original prophecy said how long it would take to be fulfilled, then it doesn't make it more impressive - it actually makes it much less so.

"By studying fervently more in my Bible I am prepared for what's coming, whether I like it or not."
I love the "you need to be looking for him" stuff.
Quick question: "Why?"
Christians really don't understand this:
I don't believe in God.
I do not believe there is anything for me to be looking for.
"Do your own research!" - the official and automatic reply whenever they are caught out on their religious.
It's maddening that they think reading scripture is research ~ you're just conditioning yourself more with falsehoods.
In one part of the Bible Jesus says that he would come back within "this generation" but in another he says that only the father knows the time of his return, and that even the son doesn't know it. So, if the son doesn't know his time of return, then how could he promise it to "his generation?" Was Jesus just making things up?
The humiliating display of pride and the lack of empathy for others with different beliefs that Christians are infamous for. There truly is no hate quite like Christians Love! Religious folk prove every day that arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand.
Why can’t people talk reasonably, like adult human beings, and instead raise accusations? I don’t understand that.
If you would take off your glasses of hatred, put all my words into context, then there would be no reason to attribute things to me the way you do. One can also have different opinions on fundamental matters. I have no problem with that. But I sense pure hatred in you and you interpret something into my words that is in no way stated there at all. You know it's a loving religion when it's laced with threats, Actually, it's you who is miserable deluded son of a bitch and an ignorant miserable fuck.
I have always found this so bizarre. When people reject my beliefs, I might think the person is wrong, but I don't care if they believe what I believe or not. I always find it ironical when someone tells me that they "I hope God finds you". IMHO, they're not talking about me, but rather they want everyone on earth to agree with THEM to help clear up THEIR suppressed doubts and lingering insecurity about their own faith. If they were secure in their faith, why do they care what I believe?
I have no "God". There is no devil, no Heaven or Hell. None of these things exist my friend. Betcha you can't prove they do! You give me the impression that you have never read one counter argument to your beliefs. And you sound like you talk down to everyone because you have convinced yourself that you are the smartest person in the room. You get all butthurt if others don't just accept your assumptions without evidence. You think if they won't, then they aren't open-minded. GMAFB
Theists don’t deal with reality over emotion. They argue to satisfy their fears. Arguing with a theist is letting them know they will die. They treat it like a death threat. They’re fear driven, not fact driven. Theists arguments are a threat: "If you don't believe in my God you go to hell." This is made even worse when they add "this is comforting for me." They find comfort in folks being threatened with hell by their God ~ and they are comforted that other people will go to hell for simply not believing what they believe. This sounds psychopathic to me.
I'm 77-years-old. Raised in a Cristian family. Read the Bible every day and prayed to "God" every morning and night. With as much humility as I could muster. Went to Church every Sunday. Taught kids Sunday School. Attended adult Bible Classes. Went to Bible camps. Betcha I now the New Testament better than 90% of Christians.
At 56-years-old "God" had never revealed himself to me. Not once. I finally figured out that I had been brainwashed as a young child. And it was all male bovine excrement! Either God did not give a shit, or he did not exist. I threw of my chains and shackles of tyrannical religion and learned to think for myself. The best thing I ever did. I changed my life for the better. My only regrets: wasting so much time of the only life you get here on earth with this debilitating nonsense. The whole story about Jesus coming back to life after crucifixion is a story invented by religious cultists. Myth at best. Lies at worst.
The Case Against Theism - Refuting the Resurrection Argument
There have been hundreds of "Gods." Every religion claim's that theirs is the only true God! What evidence do you have that your religion is not just other false religion? Why is your "God" real and all the others are not? When you understand why you dismiss ALL the other possible "Gods", only then will you understand why we atheists dismiss yours.
Atheism is the only true default position when it comes to the question of “God”. The only way to prove Atheism wrong is by proving that a “God” exist. Nobody has ever done that. Give it your best shot, my man. An argument for God and a ham sandwich combined are worth slightly less than a ham sandwich. You can have as many philosophical arguments for “God” as you like, it doesn't change the fact that there's no evidence that there is one.
BTW, when Americans are asked to indicate their religious affiliation, 28% now check 'none.' A study from Pew Research finds that the religiously unaffiliated ~ atheists, agnostic and those who say their religion is "nothing in particular" is now the largest group. More prevalent among American adults than Catholics (23%) or evangelical Protestants (24%).
Are you saying that 28% are miserable deluded sons of a bitch? Who are you to judge the World you ignorant fuck? LOL
"The Bible was written for many reasons"...yeah right!
The Bible is convincing evidence that people invented and wrote down stories. That is all.
The Book of Revelation reads like someone mixed political paranoia, cosmic horror, and bad numerology after too much wine—then called it prophecy. If a book needs beasts with seven heads, magic numbers, and a dragon to explain reality, its basically ancient fan fiction, not a roadmap for the future.
The guy's that wrote the fairytale ''Bible'' had no clue where our Sun went at night ....let that sink in !
Anonymous undated ancient writings. Sounds like a solid foundation for basing your life on! "It's all bullshit, and it's all fucking stupid." The best and most accurate description of religion.
“After all, Lazarus was raised—never said a word about it, the daughter of Jairus was raised—didn’t say a thing about what she had been through, and the gospels tell us that at the time of the crucifixion, all the graves in Jerusalem opened, and their occupants wondered around the streets to greet. So it seems the resurrection was something of a banality at the time.” —Christopher Hitchens
Here's evidence from my book of claims... Gosh why is that always their go-to answer?
Another year goes by and still not a single convincing reason to believe in the existence of any god, gods, demigods, souls, spirits, magic, any form of afterlife or other divine or supernatural beings. Something tells me today will be no different.
If God creates souls he knows are damned to hell that means he's a total POS.
You did a double post here Dennis you're telling us a lot about yourself. It's getting harder and harder to feel sorry for you. You are one ignorant miserable fuck. You see yourself in everything and literally nothing else.
I'm not here to judge you. I'm just here to observe you and it's an ugly fucking site pal
I'm not gonna tell you the trouble you're causing yourself right now cause you're too fucking stupid to do your homework.... and that's just the story of your problems.
Atheism The stage five cancer of the mind. The antichrist will be here soon. Maybe he'll change your mind. That'll be practice for hell and you're gonna fold faster than a beach chair....
Yes, the Church Fathers were all but unanimous: The Anti-Christ will be a Jew. How else would he be able to sit in the rebuilt Temple to receive worship? And at the Vatican too but those who think he is Christ.
The anti-Christ is an institution, not an individual. Its representatives, one after another, have been sitting in the Temple (in this context, the body of Christ, His people) for 1500 years, demanding worship and obedience *in place of Christ*. They have literally said that obedience to them is necessary for salvation.
Anti-Christ doesn't just mean against Christ - it also means in place of Christ. The Jews can rebuild their temple or not rebuild it - it has no consequence for biblical prophecy.
Trump is taking on the Blob - which includes nefarious US machinations in Iran keeping tensions high - and we simply need to support him and his crew which know exactly what they are doing.
Ah, yes. Trump playing his genius three-dimensional chess against the nefarious forces of ‘The Blob’, like some superhero doll with articulated limbs, now with a cape that magically wards off all moral concerns like wholesale grifting and hand-drawing nude girl Epstein birthday cards.
"The Congress of our time is demonstrating that we might not be worthy of governing ourselves. We are at a cycle-low for public rectitude..." Yes, but why?
Citizens United was but a symptom of the underlying problem when the modern world meets the democratic process. Why does more money for the campaign mean a more likely success as a candidate? Because the voters respond to ads instead of doing a little research and critical thinking.
Because of affirmative action, which allows the hiring of unqualified, stupid people to be teachers and administrators. And the failure to recognize that blacks can't read beyond a 5th-grade level.
Affirmative action, which allows the hiring of unqualified, stupid people to be teachers and administrators, is the reason. And the failure to recognize that blacks can't read beyond a 5th-grade level.
It's because of affirmative action, which allows the hiring of unqualified, stupid people to be teachers and administrators. And the failure to recognize that blacks can't read beyond a 5th-grade level. Affirmative action ruined education.
Back in the '70s I was a reader for an English professor who claimed that most (I forget percentage) of the students in sophomore and junior level English courses were functionally illiterate--they could not spell or construct a grammatically correct sentence. I didn't believe it until I saw it in the papers I was reading for his junior-level f&sf class. True, the class was famous on campus, but these students =chose= to take it--it was not required. It wasn't an easy 4.0, either. So I was horrified at the poor writing skills of many of these folks.
Blame it on affirmative action. Affirmative action, which allows the hiring of unqualified, stupid people to be teachers and administrators. And the failure to recognize that blacks can't read beyond a 5th-grade level.
AA wasn't the case here--all white students in a junior-level college class, instructor terrifyingly intelligent, well qualified, and cared about the material and the students.
That said, you have some good points. I've told this story on CFN before, but I'll tell it again. For the psychiatry course in medical school, circa 1979 or 1980, we had only handouts, no book. Being greatly disappointed in this, a classmate and I went to the co-instructors to ask why no book for what was basically a grad level course. We were told, and I quote, "Because some of your colleagues can't read." I asked if those colleagues were of the darker persuasion, and was told yes.
Now, I don't believe the instructors meant the students in question literally could not read--just that they couldn't read well enough to handle a textbook of psychiatry. The school did have quotas re: admissions, so I have no doubt that is how these folks landed in med school. The main upshot for me is that I am skeptical of any minority physician and avoid them when I can, for good or for bad.
The flipside of Trump Derangement Syndrome, is this belief that Trump is doing his best to wage a noble and heroic fight, the only one with the cojones who can save Western civ. (Maybe the reality is that he's just compromised by the Adelson's money and possibly Epstein's videos?). It's very similar to the belief in hope and change Obama, a cult that just couldn't see how useless and destructive his administration was. How he protected and bailed out the banksters that crashed the economy, and the Bush/Cheney illegal war regime, from accountability. Maybe that was really his main job. Trump is a mental and moral midget and it should be clear to all by now he takes his orders from Bibi. If only we could kick aipac out of our politics and cut off the billions in welfare to Israel, then we might actually have some America first policies.
"If only we could kick aipac out of our politics and cut off the billions in welfare to Israel, then we might actually have some America first policies."
And get rid of the foreign psychotic war criminal Bibi.
It may not cool the tension in the ME, but getting AIPAC and the Zionists out of the US government would a great step forward for this country. Yes, Israel is THE problem for the US and the ME.
Actually, Ben, Jews were accorded great privileges in Islamic countries for hundreds of years. Many Jews have remained in Iran for years and live quite well. It has been Israel who has ratcheted up the chaos in the ME and it's a result of Zionism. Sunni-Shi'a has many similarities to the Catholicism-Protestantism/Christian Zionism division within Christianity.
Why is it irrational for a nation like Iran to have nuclear weapons when the more insane nation in this conflict, Israel, has them, and has openly talked about using them though their Sampson option.
No, jews were allowed to live as 2nd class citizens under dhimmitude. Pretending it was a "great privilege" is either ignorant or disingenuous on your part.
Because Iran is governed by a theocratic death cult that calls for the destruction of America and Israel on a daily basis. You think we're gonna let those barbaric theocrats get nukes? Lol
As were all non-Muslims, but if you read the history of Islam you will note they were treated quite well in Persia, they were treated well by the Muslims in Spain. There is all sorts of evidence regarding the treatment of Jews in Islamic countries. Some say they are treated better than Muslim Arabs living in Israel. The Iranian Mullahs are hardliners, but the Iranian Jews remaining have no desire to relocate. The main objective is Zionism not necessarily the Hebrew faith.
I see Islam and Judaism as two sides of the same coin. You are afraid of Muslims with Nukes and I have just as much fear of Zionism with nukes.
We definitely need to cut the grifter money flowing into Washington. Leaders in Congress and Senate should not be "Dual Citizens" and carry 2 passports. This practice has been going on since Christmas Eve in 1913 when the Federal Reserve Act was singed into law in secret.
Did you know that there is actually NO government information about Congressional ‘dual citizens’??? Anything you read about that comes from internet opinion (and the assumption that if you’re Jewish, you’re automatically an Israeli citizen, which is total BS. Maybe actually look up what it takes to become an Israeli citizen, as in how long you have to live there to become one. Let me know when your Jewish Congressmen have disappeared for years.
Noted. So allow me drop the term "Dual Citizen" and let's pass The "Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act" (H.R. 2356), introduced in the 119th Congress (2025-2026), which proposes amending the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require candidates for the U.S. House or Senate to disclose any foreign citizenship they hold. It aims to ensure transparency regarding potential foreign allegiances. Source: Congress.gov | Library of Congress.
This bill was also introduced in 2023…HR946. Still sitting around without being passed. And frankly I wish it would pass, so all the internet BS about all these ‘Israeli citizens’ sitting in Congress would end.
All it takes is some cash and it can be accomplished quite easy. Most of the Zionists surrounding the Trump and Biden administration are dual citizens and many are former IDF soldiers. Samuel Huntington warned about the negative aspects of dual citizens and our politicians did not heed his advice. They took the cash from AIPAC instead.
I guess you’re illiterate? There is no information about ‘dual citizenship’ in government. It’s only speculation. Of course, I imagine you think every Jew is a dual citizen. Whatever. This conversation is over.
It is, but as far as I know there is only the Jewish State of Israel, There is the Islamic Republic of Iran, but I am unaware of the Catholic Republic or the Catholic State of......? Do you?
You start off with a childish smear, how juvenile of you.
There is plenty of information on dual citizenship. In 2003 there was a campaign launched to weaken the original INA section 337[2], & U.S. code section 1449 [a] this was largely a result of massive immigration and the deconstructionist movement. One can trace the weakening to declining assimilation of immigrants and their disaporas, along with the denationalization of elites that blurs the distinction between national and transnational identities. There are many other reasons such as the law does not disallow a dual citizen from voting in elections in their adopted US and their home nation. They can even hold office in two different nations. The model the Israeli's have devised wherein they stepped up their lobbying both domestically via such organizations like AIPAC to actual forces external to the USA. Many other countries have noticed the increase in aid and the influence they wield on USA politicians and have stepped up their own lobbying and influencing game. Mexico being another proponent of this change in citizen dynamics.That does not imply that I see every Jew as a dual citizen or every Mexican, et-al.
You may want to end the conversation because you waded into something that puts you out of your depth, intellectually and as a citizen of this country, assuming you are.
AIPAC is an American organization. We are not talking about private dual citizenship but dual citizenship in Congress. And there is NO information from the government indicating such citizenship. There is now a bill in teh House to attempt to rectify that.
Exactly. I watched my "side" become complete hypocrites over Obama, and that madness has never been shaken off. Now many of the Trump folk are the same way. I've been reading JHK since 2005 and tried to remember how he felt about the Iraq War. Found an interesting letter posted to him by an old reader about the underlying neocon beliefs of JHK, which seem fully validated since 10/7. The whole CF project in hindsight looks like delusional promises made of "vindication" to people rightfully critical of progressive overreach, while quietly fundamentally reasserting neocon hegemony in key areas.
Trump has been a great disappointment so far. He has caved on nearly every major issue, and his base is leaving him in droves.
He has alienated actual "MAGA" typess like Greene and Carlson, and is losing support among those who joined him from across the aisle (see Gabbard).
Rightfully so. We've had support for quaxxines, mass murderers from Pfizer and ISIS in the White House, new wars, and no action whatsoever on the pollutants being sprayed in our skies on a daily basis.
And, of course, he is entirely owned by Israel. We have foreign agents in the WH and at the highest positions in government.
He's staking his life, fortune, and sacred honor by taking on Israel's control of the United States. All is forgiven him if he stays on this course. His spook background, his chronic silliness about UFO's and "I like the Noahide laws" etc, and his weird laugh.
Shill for what? He made quite a turnaround from the old 9/11 days. And he's been on the right side of most issues over the past few years.
Trump, on the other hand, did what politicians usually do: promised to be one thing, and delivered another in every major area that mattered to MAGA and anyone who cares about freedom.
I'm one of the voters disappointed. I would rather Isreal fall, than send one more dime, bullet or boot to the middle east. That's the only reason I voted. I've never voted before, actually. I voted because I thought he might just be narcissistic enough to avoid war just to be know as the president of peace. Solutions won't come from online discourse I am afraid.
Stalin's well-known statement about elections being decided "not by those who cast the votes, but those who count the votes" likely has a corollary: "what matters is not who the voters vote for, but who controls the choices they are given." Biden and/or Harris vs. Trump--great choice there, as it seems to be turning out.
Any peace is going to involve Iranian observers at Dimona making sure Israel's illegal nuclear capacity is dismantled. Failing that, the war ends when Iran says it does.
Replying to Tx: Firstly “OF WHICH there is no shortage these day;” hate to correct a self inflated booby… oh now that’s a lie. Begs the question who you would have instead as vaunted leader for our times?
The words "well meaning" have no, well, meaning when applied to Donald Trump. The concepts of altruism or earnest effort toward a consistent goal don't exist in his world view. This is what makes JHK and MAGA's devotion to him as some kind of protagonist for their goals so hilarious: Trump himself has no goals, only appetites.
DJT is well meaning, and has a plan. It's a plan quite obvious to those who understand the world around them. You just can't see it and probably wouldn't understand it if you could. Enjoy living under the communist Carney.
It's amazing to see all the armchair generals on both sides come out and what amounts to a week old war if that.....
There's a lot to be digested the main thing on this planet right now is getting rid of fucking scumbag totalitarian Islamic horseshit while simultaneously ratcheting down China's ambitions anything Russia wants outside of a peaceful European lifestyle and then there's a few more bad actors.....
And then there's the "so let's just all take our ball and go home and live another half century with these shitty cults and ideologies and see where it gets us." eternally ostrich prone pearl clutching passengers...
Mr Kunstler, I have long anticipated receiving your Monday emails. I love your wit, style and find your observations provide a genuine touch stone for me. Quite often, I forward these gems onto friends with similar interests. While I agree with your concerns for getting the SAVE Act passed in the Senate along with righting the wrongs of the corrupt law fare waged against President Trump, I am not optimistic with regard to the Iran situation. What started out as it will probably be over in a few days, then a few weeks, then maybe a few months and now rumblings of boots on the ground, American boots in fact horrifies me. It's like de ja vu all over again!! Our track record stinks since the 40's. Hanging by my thumbs in praying for a miracle.
I see you are back using your 5D chess gambit again: Be patient while the grand scheme unfolds. Full disclosure, I voted for our 5D chess champ. No, sorry, he’s not playing 5D chess – he’s barely able to struggle through a 2-D backyard game of checkers. Let’s face it, he lied to us big time during his campaign and he is currently failing our country Bigley. Sometimes you just have to know when it’s time to cut your losses short.
James Woods is a highly intelligent man and he finds the Republicans are losers. I am surprised it took him this long. I left years ago and find the Republicans repugnant, but the Dems are many magnitudes worse.
The JW post hurts. We cannot continue to lose soldiers. He'll come back I'm sure.
I believe the investigations into Fulton County in Georgia and Maricopa County in Arizona and other states will greatly accelerate over the next few weeks in order to expose the Big Steal in 2020 and demonstrate how Mail-In Ballots and foreign intervention have corrupted our voting system. This then will put extreme pressure on traitors like Thune and others who seek to block Trump's effort to take the country back. The time is now to pass the SAVE America Act.
It will be interesting to see how the Blue States respond to a SAVE America Law. Will they resist its implementation by still allowing Mail-In ballots, for example? What will the government's response be if they do resist? Could a state's right to seat US House and Senate members be forfeited? What if a Republican-leaning Congressional District within a Blue "resistor" State chooses to follow the tenants of the SAVE America Law? Will their elected House member be eligible to serve?
Jewish and Christian Zionists seem to think that this war is all about the final battle of good and evil in Armageddon. Well, who knows, maybe it is, but what they likely have wrong is who they think is on the “Good“ side and who they think is on the “evil“ side.
Only Biblical zealots are talking about ‘end times’. On a more secular note, how about just getting rid of Islamic radicals that are disrupting western countries and the MIddle East?
It’s impossible to reform the evil out of what is fundamentally evil. “Reform” is the mask they hide behind until they quietly outnumber you. Then it’s you that must “reform”, i.e submit (or die).
I used to believe in Santa Clause too so there is some bliss in ignorance. After 9/11, when GWB proclaimed their religion was one of peace I decided to read their playbook for myself. It’s anything but.
Sorry pal but you’re on the wrong side of history on this one. Your nation has been hijacked by the only terrorist in the middle east, namely Israel. Your President and the batshit crazy mob around him have pulled you into a quagmire unlike any other. He’s already trying to convince you that high oil prices are fine and that is just the beginning. Iran will NOT lose. Good luck.
So you possess neither foresight nor patience. Apparently, you've only briefly studied one side of theirstory. There's nobody named McNamara in this "crazy mob"....... You might want to hold your fetid breath for a little while.
Flaws, warts and all whatever, dollars to donuts there are far better people running this operation right now than you've seen since your days in Carters brand laderhausen. If they succeed, no worries, you'll go right on bitching..... more sullen than ever. There's some progress for ya!
Among others, you bring to mind that what's his name General McGregor, or whatever constantly on TV constantly wringing his hands, clutching his pearls, but never scratching his balls to find out if he can come up with a solution for anything. Naysayers are a dime a fucking dozen. It must hurt to watch a president you don't care for and we don't find perfect who actually has the fucking nards to go put an end to this fucking dribble that has accomplished nothing but spilling blood for years, destroying Persia and the Kurds simultaneously costing the world in lives, blood, and treasure endlessly.
So sit there on your couch, watch your MS never or whatever the hell you watch with all these fucking clowns, shake your Stalinist fist.... (Pro Tip: pull it out of your ass first) they're not quite a 'mob' on your side they're not that sophisticated...
just a "Bakers Doesn't" of assholes spread over a handful of occult riven shows ever earnestly interviewing somebody at just an arm's-length from the prevaricators of the eternal bullshit in the "Middle East" whatever that is..... it's actually the DIDDLE East they can't keep their fucking hands off the Bacha Bazzi boys.... or the seven-year-old girls on their way to Madrassah.
Ah yes, famously Bibi controls the governments of Qatar, UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, all of whom have condemned Iran's attacks and shot down their missiles & drones.
You need to stop pretending you have anything worthwhile to contribute 🤡
There is a book I highly recommend. It is entitled "World Made By Hand" and is about what happened to the United States after some sort of indeterminant war in the Middle East.
Kunstler says the chaos around the Iran war and American politics is not the end of the story — it is the messy birth of a new order. Much of the outrage, he argues, is driven less by strategy and more by hatred of Trump, even when his actions disrupt both Iran’s power structure and entrenched political rackets at home. Iran’s ruling clerics, in his view, have long fueled regional chaos through proxies and nuclear blackmail, and the confrontation now unfolding is the inevitable result. At the same time, the United States faces its own internal disorder — broken elections, corporate money flooding politics, and institutions losing legitimacy. Kunstler’s message is simple: this moment may look like collapse, but it is really a brutal passage through chaos on the road back to order.
Talk about all the broken institutions in our country, Congress just left on another week of vacation as security lines grind to a halt at airports. The Jacobin leaders on the left, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, have become insufferable. I can no longer watch TV as Schumer and Jeffries gloat and smile at the chaos and misery they are causing. There must be a special place in hell for these two idiots.
The Iranians who were persecuted by the Mullahs are correct in their statements that Iran has been at war with the West and the US in particular since they took over the whole country 50 years ago or so. It is just that our politicians have been too stupid or too frightened politically to do what was necessary to cut their balls off. What truly emboldened Sadaam (spelling) was how successful Iran had been at blackmailing the West so he wanted in on the action. HIs only screw up was letting it be known he wanted to kill Bush #1 and this got him killed----eventually but.....both Bushs had no guts for really taking on the Iranians because they were frightened of the blowback they would get from the Euros and others who were making tons of money off all of the sanctions and those people did not want to lose their lucrative $billions. Remember the mayor of London who during this time was ( I assume it was true) making $millions off helping the Iraq government evade sanctions so he was against the war.? I am sure it was the same with many of our own gutless politicians and Congress critters .
Yes, I am afraid that Israel has way too much power over our politicians with its well oiled political contribution schemes and blackmailing by Mossad and it is true we are giving Israel way too much taxpayer money when they are rich in their own right but........Iran is telling us to our faces they want to kill us all and at least Israel's ultimate goals do not align 100% with ours it is a damn site closer to what we are wanting that the death of America.
Trump has big balls and is trying to make it safer for America and,..,,.., the world and is willing to take on the real problems rather than sit by and watch us die a slow death of 1000 cuts. And......I applaud him for saying (or yelling) THOSE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!!!!!! Truer words have never been spoken in a State of the Union message.
Everything makes sense once you realize that approximately half (or more) of the people sitting in Congress--Senate and House both--are not interested in the good of the country and are motivated exclusively by self-interest, which encompasses 1) their retention of power, and 2) personal wealth. They can't have 2) without 1), so they are doing whatever it takes to assure re-election. If that requires importing a new group of voters, that's fine by them. If that means eventual destruction of the country, that's fine as well, because by the time that happens, their personal wealth will have provided them with a handy escape route elsewhere. For the rest of us who can't (or choose not to) leave, that's tough. Sucks to be us.
John Thune and Chuck Shumer are the pointed tips of the turd that is the United States Senate.
The US Senate became impotent when it was taken from the states and given to the people. It is nothing more than a glorified House of Representatives. The 17th amendment should be repealed.
Agreed. The IRS and the Fed should be disbanded and the Sixteenth Amendment repealed, as well.
There's a guy who knows his Constitution!
Every amendment after 12 is null and void
Why stop there? The Second Amendment is a notoriously poorly drafted law, with terrible consequences for American society. You all should get rid of it.
The Second Amendment is not a law. It is a charge against government to never trifle with a standing, God given, inalienable Right.
Stay up north, enjoy your servitude.
well said.
You Have No Rights | George Carlin | https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=george+carlin+on+rights&mid=99AF8462CD7BECC4977499AF8462CD7BECC49774&FORM=VIRE
Of course it's a law. That's what the U.S. constitution is, the overarching legal document that sets the terms for all law in the USA. Your comment is a shining example of exactly why the second amendment is a bad law: because people don't think of it as a law enacted by men, they think of it as holy scripture.
I'll clue you in on something: the people of the USA are no threat to its government. If they were, would Trump, Rubio, Hegseth and the rest have dared to start a war with Iran after campaigning against foreign wars? They do these things because they understand there is no threat to them no matter how much they lie to the rubes. And if they ever do really feel threatened, no one in power will give half a second's thought to any provision of the constitution, second amendment or otherwise. They'll just gun you down in the street and saying "fucking bitch" afterward. We saw it happen very recently in Minneapolis. That was them, demonstrating the truth of what I'm saying. They just dress it up as being about illegal aliens because that plays so well with the rubes. It's about you, the second you really step out of line.
🎯
Bravo Paul
You’re a fucking idiot. 👆
Well, he's Canadian, so that kind of goes with the territory. They don't have a right to keep and bear arms, but they do have the right to have a doctor kill them if they feel a bit out of sorts.
Sir,
Well said. Thank you.
Snow Messikins are a silly lot.
And who not the rest of the Bill of Rights? When properly worded, pollsters can get Americans to renounce them, since guns hurt people as do words!
But it keeps you out of here....
Poorly drafted in what way?
Start with the dependent clause: "A well regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State". Does the word 'state' refer to any particular one of the thirteen original colonies (the states)? To each of them severally, to all of them together? Does it refer to the State as a concept, meaning government in general? That would have to include the federal government as well. It's far from clear which particular, discrete entity or entities the word is meant to refer to. That's poor drafting: ambiguity, uncertainty, doubt.
Notice also that this is in the context of "the security of" a "free state". By what textual evidence (I mean the actual words on paper, not your personal interpretation) does that mean the people of that state, i.e. the security of ordinary citizens? It would make at least as much sense, perhaps more, to say it means the security of the state, which could very well mean its security against its own citizens. By the 19th century, there were "free states" as opposed to "slave states", where slavery was practised. Could this have been interpreted to mean the constitution protected free states against the slave states? I know how dumb that sounds, but language is slippery and lawyers are relentless. Everyone benefits when the law is clear. There's nothing on paper to say what the vague phrase "security of a free state" is meant to protect and what it isn't. More poor drafting: more ambiguity, uncertainty, doubt.
Now the main clause: "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Historically, the phrase "the people" has a particular meaning in the USA. If you get charged with littering, your case will be constituted as "The People vs. Cosmo T Kat". Here "the people" means the prosecution, representing the public interest in punishing antisocial conduct. The wording of the second amendment doesn't make clear whether "the people" means "the public interest", which is safeguarded by government, or if it means ordinary people's right to keep and bear arms. Obviously plenty of people think it does mean the latter, but I repeat, that's their interpretation. What's on paper doesn't make it clear one way or the other. That's a poorly drafted law.
Absolutely. It exists in present form not in the manner laboriously negotiated through the traditionally hot and humid summer months in Philadelphia.
It could (the Convention) be described as a 'sort of coup', because the original intent was to fix the Articles of Confederation. After some attempts they scrapped the Articles and started over.
The House of Representatives was a popularly elected body whose seats were based on population. The Senate was designed to be an equalizer. It was to be controlled by the individual state legislatures who would choose and send two Senators each to the bicameral legislative body.
This is often referred to as the Connecticut Compromise.
Things weren't really going well, the convention almost dissolved. The Compromise (under various names) is considered by many as one which saved the convention.
This compromise not only saved the convention but shaped American federalism by balancing popular sovereignty with state sovereignty.
The Seventeenth Amendment undid this delicate balance.
I have an alternate interpretation. What you call a "balance between popular sovereignty and state sovereignty" was in fact a design to frustrate popular sovereignty, in favour of the propertied class in whose interest the revolution was actually fought.
Most ordinary people in the thirteen colonies cared little about the policies of the British crown. It was the moneyed and the ambitious who chafed at limitations e.g. on westward expansion, and on abolitionism which was beginning to bite in the latter half of the 18th century. For example, the Somerset case in 1772, which held that no slave could be forcibly removed from England, was understood to mean that the condition of slavery did not exist under English law in England and Wales. This was an obvious threat to American slaveowners: this precedent must not be allowed to extend to American shores, lest they be deprived of property.
They and their northern counterparts waged the revolution very much for the freedom to go on extracting wealth from their slaves, and more wealth from more and more Indian land. This is also the likely real reason why the second amendment was enacted: under the state they themselves were founding, they wanted to ensure access to the tools of violence, indispensable for controlling their slaves and exterminating natives. Following the civil war, the question of slavery was deemed to be addressed by the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments, but the 2nd was left untouched (understandably, since unlike slavery both sides agreed on the need to go on exterminating Indians).
Once the frontier closed, the original purpose of the 2nd amendment was largely exhausted -- its remaining goals had been achieved. But it stayed on the books, and over time, the text of the amendment grew conflated in the popular imagination with things like Jefferson's remark about the tree of liberty being watered with the blood of tyrants, thus creating the death cult that is today's gun culture in the USA. And as for the elected Senate, it simply represents a restoration to the people of rights that should have been recognized to begin with.
That is an absolutely negative and twisted view of the founders and their reasons for going to war. You've been reading too many anti-America books methinks.
Lexington & Concord wasn't about tea and taxes. It was about disarming the population by confiscating the firearms and gunpowder.
It happened to become the incident (out of a few at the time) where blackpowder and roundball firing turned into a two-way range.
We don't have a 'death cult' regarding firearms.
I'm going to agree with CP: "You've been reading too many anti-America books methinks."
I burn those books at every opportunity....
There's even a whole new group of gender, bullshit ones and they're remarkably flammable..... I donate them to the Inuit.... they have good families they strive to keep intact and they certainly like the extra heating fuel ‼️
Every word I wrote can be fact checked. Make sure to read the primary sources, i.e. what people said and did at the time, not the sugar-coated Chamber of Commerce narrative you were taught in school. If the facts look bad, it's because the facts were bad.
And of course the insane 19th amendment.
So should the 19th.
"Because among all the broken institutions in our country, Congress is the worst."
YES! It is. The US Congress is a failure of epic and colossal proportions. It is an utter joke. The "representatives" who get into Congress are prohibited from thinking for themselves and always vote along party lines, regardless of what their constituents back in their districts want. So these fuckers in Congress spend their time on their committees holding "hearings" where they verbally abuse some poor sucker who answered the summons to come to Congress so they can get a sound byte on Tic Tok or Instagram. They don't listen to each other, they care not about listening to each other. They do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that benefits the American people. I can't think of one thing the failed Congress has done that personally benefits me.
The US Congress is nothing more than a bickering boys and girls club of grifters and criminals.
Americans should be pissing razorblades in anger at the abject failure that is the US Congress. Instead of pointing fingers at Trump, Biden, Obama, and Bush they should be pointing fingers at Congress and demanding more from their legislature. Afterall, Congress controls the purse, Congress makes law (not the President) and Congress can override a Presidential veto.
Unfortunately, so many people are caught up in TDS and BDS that they ignore the gigantic pile of stinking shit that is the US Congress. Congress needs to be reformed from top to bottom. I propose the following:
1. A national lottery of native born net tax paying US citizens.
2. Drafted in said lottery for 1 legislative term consisting of one 3 month legislative session in Washington.
3. Once session is finished, representative returns to their job in their district. No more full time Congressional careers.
4. Increase the size of the Congress to 2,000, 4,000 or more representatives to improve the representation of the people.
Mr. Kunstler blames the SCOTUS when they gave corporations campaign contributions. He's right but I also believe Congress was ruined when legislators became a full time career instead of public service.
Excellent post. I believe that the ruin started when people realized they could vote themselves piles of other peoples money and wealth. As Franklin warned, the end of the Republic.
Congress is one giant parasite that sucks the lifeblood of the people and shits out legislation as its waste.
The Federal Register is the document that catalogs and records all Federal Legislation. It is a voluminous document consisting of thousand and thousand of pages.
There are so many laws passed by "congress" that the average American commits 2 felonies per day and doesn't even know about it. Add to that all the state laws, county laws and city laws........well, you get the picture.
Each congressional term should include a period in which no legislation can be passed, but laws on the books can be repealed. We need to stop thinking laws are sacred and settled forever. Congress should get into the habit of questioning what they and their predecessors voted for.
We judge a congress critter to be effective by how many bills they sponsor and become law. Not a good way to judge their effectiveness. For every new law passed they should be required to repeal two others.
Seems like I said this a couple of months ago!
Great minds and all.
I remember when Becca Balint was elected as a State Rep in 2022. The first woman and openly LGBTQ person to represent Vermont in Congress.
One her most memorable quotes (actual whining) after being elected was "I was elected to govern."
She was amazed at how the sausage was made after expecting to just hold a whip.
Such is life in woke Vermont.
Sunset clauses need to be a requirement. Choose a time frame no longer than 7 years. Seven is sort of an arbitrary number between 5 and 10.
With sunset clauses, every law has an expiration date within the lifetime of most of the population living at the time of enactment.
Excellent idea. I'd make the "sunset" limit shorter, more like five years. That's enough time to see the consequences of a law.
Such a system would probably need a constitutional amendment, so good luck getting it passed.
And while I'm at it, any army raised has a sunset clause already, it is in the Constitution. Article 1, Section 8.
When the monstrosity referred to as the NDAA comes around, the funding for an army is in it. Every two years.
There is no similar restraint on the Navy.
Militias get far more space (language) in Article 1 Section 8 than an army, the Navy, and the Post Offices and post Roads.
Most legislation is bought and paid for (and written) by corporate interests. Think big tech and big pharma and it has nothing to do with protecting America.
Yes, we should be ruled by the Knesset instead.
Citizens United went the way it did because a) the Supreme Court found that corporations are people 200 years ago, and b) unions and similar organizations had been funding the Democrats for decades, so Citizens United was supposed to level the playing field. Plus, since John Roberts was involved, you can bet there was a payoff somewhere regarding the ruling.
I have not deep dived the Epstein file dumps because I need to sleep well enough to function at work but I do believe John Robert's is a pedophile. This would explain some of his rulings. Blackmail controls many in Congress and elsewhere.
Whatever they have on JR it is bad enough that that piece of shit in a black robe has betrayed his country, his oath, his people and his posterity.
Ditto the radical left activists Bulldyke Kagen, Kunta-Ketangi and Sick pig Soto-scum.
Barrett may be guilty of illegal adoptions too...
She adopted teenage Black African twins while pregnant. It was too good a deal to pass up. She had been "waiting for something like this"!
Right Canker…do we need to see another hearing, ever? Bubba chuckled while leaving his deposition, Hillary threw some plates. Over.
Agreed, forget hearings, we need hangings.
How about the corrupt bribery operations of undeclared foreign agents (disguised as PACs) that are so heavily influencing "the gigantic pile of stinking shit that is the US Congress"??
Spot On Cank....
You're making too much sense for the minions.
I will never leave. I've been around, living here and there. Saw all kinds of politics: monarchies, parliaments, grand socialist experiments, and communistic focus. I will never leave because this is the only place where humans have a chance at freedom and the pursuit of happiness. True independence is risky, and we've been spending our time on frivolities and envy; we wanted to be superficial, and we achieved that, but now, we need to wake up and support the effort to right us up, unless we make the 250th the end of the road. There are no places to run to; I know I've checked! Fight for what was and what could be again!
"this is the only place where humans have a chance at freedom and the pursuit of happiness."
Actually, humans aren't free here in the USA. Let me tell you about that insidious little thing called a property tax. We all pay it if we "own" property or a home. The County, under the authority of the State, collects annual rent payments from us. Every year we pay the County a tax based upon the estimated value of our real property.
If we refuse to pay this annual rental payment the County will fine us daily until the tax and the fees are paid. If we still refuse to pay the tax and the penalty they can do one of two things:
1. Put our property up for tax sale and sell the property from under us to another.
2. Sell the lien to an investor who can then either foreclose on your property or cause you to pay the back taxes.
Either way, the County and State can take property that you have paid for and sell it to another.
In short, Americans can never truly own property. The government owns every square inch of the 50 states. We are just rentin it. We are serfs and the government is our lord.
That isn't freedom. The founders envisioned us being able to own property, free and clear from intrusion from ANYONE. The Declaration, in original drafts, said "the pursuit of life, liberty and PROPERTY." That was ultimately removed in favor of "happiness."
If we cannot own any property we are nothing and we are certainly NOT free.
YES, and it was tolerated until now, but people are waking up. Isn't this the very thing Mitch Vexler is exposing? It has started, and if we want to get deeper in the rabbit hole, we could surely expose the education/school board taxes that are eating at everything and yet graduate kids who can't read or add. This is not a perfect union, but it's infinitely better than anything I've seen and experienced. At least here you can fight the system, and sometimes you win!
"Everything makes sense once you realize that approximately half (or more) of the people sitting in Congress--Senate and House both--are not interested in the good of the country and are motivated exclusively by self-interest, which encompasses 1) their retention of power, and 2) personal wealth."
As a non-certified un-license historian I have to say, Thus It Has Ever Been.

Is This Man the Second Biggest Traitor in US History?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP73bHekj0M&t=71s
Mar 8, 2026 #CivilWar #military #CivilWarhistory
Was John B. Floyd, Secretary of War under President James Buchanan, one of the greatest traitors in American history?
In my mother's opinion, FDR was one of our greatest traitors...
Wilson and Thee Roosevelt got the ball rolling, then FDR, the murderous racist El BJ, Bubba, the Islamist racist Soetoro, and the senile drunk Biden just took the ball down the field.
Old Abe Lincoln got the ball rolling when he over threw the Constitution of 1788 and changed the "union." The Federalists won during his presidency and the States and the people took it up the ass.
The War Between the States marked the end of the republic shaped by the Founders. Abe Lincoln abolished the right of any state or states to stand against the federal behemoth, let alone the right to leave it.
Before the war people said, "The United States are." Following the war, the phrase changed to, "The United States is."
Amen. Abe's disgusting temple in DC is adorned with the fasces symbol.
My grandmother, aunt, and mother, thought so, too.
Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, LBJ, and Nixon were the Presidents who have done the most damage to this nation. The absolute worst was Abraham Lincoln. He over threw the Constitution of 1788 and turned the nation from a "union of sovereign States" into a union composed of small, powerless administrative districts.
FDR died on my birthday, the Civil War started on my birthday, Yuri Gagarin the first man into space on my birthday.... actually a Russian you could really like he was non-political and very friendly and didn't seem to have any fervor for his shitty government.
As a personal point of pride, I have no equivocation ....FDR dying on my birthday is an added bonus every year I blow out a few extra candles telling him "Where you are residing, you don't need any more fire my dude! "
🔥I'm sure a cabin on the shores of the lake of fire has done wonders for his polio..... and the homosexual demons probably give him quite a workout every day....,, such is death‼️
The purveyor of the 'screw deal'
"We have nothing to fear… Oh wait a minute I'm stuck in hell for eternity, what am I saying FFS‼️"
"FDR died on my birthday, the Civil War started on my birthday, Yuri Gagarin the first man into space on my birthday.... "
Sounds like you've had a long lifetime.
Moses used to tell me that🤠
#TeamYourMomma Isn't it funny how, at the end of the days, Mom's turn out to be right so often?
My mother was politically brilliant....she was frustrated lawyer in that she wanted to be a lawyer when women were not allowed to be. I would love to have had her take on Obama. We won't even talk about the Biden era in which I was getting prepared to get the hell out of Dodge if things went further south.
True, there have always been self-seekers and traitors in our midst, but their numbers have grown almost geometrically, possibly now become overwhelming. It remains to be seen whether our country can survive.
We don't punish traitors anymore. What do we do when there is nobody watching the watchers?
I keep rope, shovels and a Slingblade in the trunk..... we might just get lucky In our travels... Took out the guillotine it was going a little too hard on the gas miles.....
Well the size of government has grown, so to stands to reason. My point is People/Politicians don't change.
My Bible tells me it won't. Doesn't mean you quit fighting or don't put up a gallant effort....
For Christ's sake, when you have a pope or let's say popes, who don't even study the Bible or give enough of a shit to follow it....
Then surely your leaders are of a similar character or even lesser,
We are getting a biblical lesson now with a man we have voted for three times in a row.
Apparently, to his detriment and ours, he can't humble himself, even after being shot in the head. Recently, he was unfortunately joking about whether he was going to wind up in hell or not. I would say I'm baffled, but Satan is no fool. He knows where the draft comes in on your door and he'll start right in that tiny spot with his crowbar.
He doesn't need to fully corrupt you just a little bit.
I pray for TRUMP, Trump is not my savior or yours and we are learning a big lesson here you cannot put your faith in Kings or concubines....
"My Bible tells me it won't."
Who gives a rat's ass what's in that old book!
That book is basic instructions before leaving earth. Intelligent people swear by it.
Try again.... This game hass unlimited chances to pop the balloon and win.
There are limitless darts right up to the time you die.
Those kind of comments usually come from people who can't stand being told to behave..... Try it sometime it's harder to do than you think.
You have him all wrong he is pissed at the world and God in particular.
Two time cancer patient the latest at this juncture in time terminal and if I had to guess forced because of the cancer to stop drinking.
Would not wish blood cancer on anyone chemo for life and a usually very nasty steroid.
At this point a decent oncologist can manage it, but it will slowly and painfully kill him over time.
It tends to destroy bone marrow and then cause osteoporosis so eventually his rib cage and spine start to collapse.
They can treat him for it until his government care decides he is no longer worth the expense or time.
Fuck Cancer.
~ Governpimps & Beyond Lenocracy ~
"In a ponzi or hoodwink economy or system, too, walking away from some forms of debt would also seem like an imperative/rebellion/revolt/resistance/etc., such as for example, in light of stealing from future generations; corporate welfare/bailouts; or a governpimp generally racking up other forms of debt to the detriment of its captive populations that have little to do with it.
Why pay back debt that one’s slavemasters/pimps accrued by other slavemasters/pimps? Makes little sense. So any discussion of debt needs to take these kinds of things into consideration to have clearer meaning."

"I’ve recently had another such verbal seed crystal drop into my mind. This one wasn’t anything like as worldshaking as the concept of decline has turned out to be, and it also had a curious feature; I grasped the concept in an instant but I had to invent a word for it. The word I came up with is 'lenocracy'. The first part of that word comes from leno, the Latin term for a pimp. Yes, what the word means is a government of pimps...
Right now, in the modern industrial world, we live in an economy where nearly all exchanges are subject not just to the exactions of a single pimp but to whole regiments of pimps, each of whom has to be paid in order for the exchange to take place. Furthermore, this orgy of pimping is sponsored, controlled, and mandated by government at all levels and by the holders of political and economic power more generally. Thus, lenocracy."

Except that, because of their calumny, there will be no elsewhere.
Escape elsewhere? Where else is there to go?
Even the flat earth's can't solve that riddle. I don't believe there's anything to hold onto on the bottom side..
And of course, the rest of us know you can keep running around and round a marble, but you're gonna wind up right back where you started.
Thank you James. One of the beacons of sanity in a dark world.
ridding the Middle East of its chief chaos agent.
You are referring to Israel, right?
No, Iran.
Tee hee.
Tee hee
Even the Arab states (and Iranian population) are thanking Israel for their intervention. How does it feel to have your wn bias be so thwarted that you cannot even understand what’s going on??
Ah 13 year olds!
October 7?
Oct 7 - STAND DOWN order!
More internet anti-Israel BS
Take out the "anti" and you're on the money.
Why did it take so long to respond?
What are you talking about? They responded instantly as soon as they were given the greenlight it was party on.....
They revel and wallow in this kind of bullshit so let's stop calling this a one-sided thing either way......
Everybody has the capability to be a Nazi of one form or another...... there is no difference making evil decisions about your behavior whether you're wearing a suit and tie or your groveling in the dirt... fucking, killing and eating children..... then burning down their homes.
It won't make a dime's difference when it comes to your judgment that's why you're looking at two groups of losers, and they're gonna be judged for the same crimes you were either the planner or the player none of them get out of here alive..... they're facing eternal death.
To pull off shit like this that's absolutely satanic in nature and it's going to bar you from entering heaven. Not to mention the faith that both of these groups are following is utter horseshit anyway..
One is made up of whole violent cloth plagiarized from the two larger religions before it. The other one is not only forsaking their savior but developing their own God complex.… to rule the world… Like Satan's actually gonna get out of their way that's a laugher. This isn't Babylon part Deux but they can't get their heads out of their asses.
Are you uninformed... or a propagandist?
Dispute the allegations... IF you can... and be specific.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/nc9LLHL3yd3F
https://www.bitchute.com/video/1weoWFrfc95Q
No, they didn’t. The area where the attack occured is one of the most heavily monitored in the world.
Really? Feel free to dispute, but with specifics, not hot air.
https://www.bitchute.com/video/nc9LLHL3yd3F
https://www.bitchute.com/video/1weoWFrfc95Q
I have no idea who ‘isotope’ whoever is. It’s unlikely that the IDF gave him any info however.
Nice try. tons of allegations in the 2 videos... can you dispute them?
Be very specific or STFU.
I find both sides at fault. It certainly does look like a stand down. There's no getting around the information leaking out and the timing alone is insane.
Do not for one minute think that excuses the fucking behavior from the howler monkeys crossing into Israel..... possibly Netanyahu gave them their moment and they sure as fuck went hog wild cause that's who they are..,,. The depravity was off the charts, the eageress to do it, the amount of tools of pure violence they had with them and the creepy shit they were instantaneously doing....... bringing the depths of hell straight up to the surface of the Earth. If you're gonna pick a side here, remember this… One of the few times you can actually believe people who are prone to lying and do it all too easilyis when they show you who they are.
The only thing they didn't do was boil the Jews but more than likely they would tell you they don't taste good. Apparently they missed the email from Epstein.
Here's the good news. Christ is going to have a reckoning with both sides when he comes back.
I wouldn't want to be in their shoes. They'll be shitting themselves senseless when the judgment comes down for their behavior. It's nothing to laugh about. It's nothing to take solace in. It's not our revenge.
Try to imaginary eternity and then see what you're gonna do about. Making sure yours Isn't that horrific… I'll say it again...
for eternity.
Parts of Tel Aviv look like Gaza now. Karma's a bitch, eh?
Amusingly, parts of every country in the MIddle East now ‘looks like Gaza’. the IRGC is not making friends.
Complicating matters are emerging accusations of deception. Reports indicate Israel may be attacking Gulf states—striking energy sites in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar—while attributing them to Iran. These potential false flags aim to draw Arab nations deeper into the fray, securing oil routes and bolstering coalition unity. Iranian officials have decried them as “Zionist tricks,” and online sleuths on X are geolocating strikes, analyzing drone telemetry, and debunking claims in real time.
I suspect you’ve never led the armed forces. Or perhaps even been in one. So, what do you do…maybe have a plan and organize y our troops? Or just run in like its some kind of video game?
And YOU?
IDF? Or just your typical bleating?
Life in the US is unaffordable, our cities are crumbling, unaccountable elite predators at the helm. So what we really need is another regime change war in the Middle East? More death, destruction, higher prices for everyone, and billions, probably trillions, tossed into an abyss. Shouldn't our beef be with our own regime?
♠️ You're in the end times.... it will have to play out. Nothing's gonna stop it..
Find Christ and hunker down.
Meanwhile, up there in the article, James brought in that three word chunk of ancient advice: 'embrace the suck'❗️
I don't know bro, we've been in "embracing the suck" mode for like the last 30-40 years, and no end in sight.
It's not called The Long Emergency for nothing!
Actually, the end is closer than you think. Read my next comment below this one.. we are told not to pick the time and day of Christ's return,but meanwhile the UN has their shitty agenda 2030 coming up very close. God has his plans, and Satan is gnashing his teeth because he knows his days are numbered. Looking at events going on with the WEF and all this other horseshit. Destroying genitals destroying the family destroying the church building AI erasing humans.
Read up and you'll see that Satan's only goal is to get as many people in hell as he can and destroy man the one thing God calls his greatest creation.
We are fervently, trying to destroy something really ugly in Persia right now (for the record there is no Iran and no Iranians. These people are shoving the Persians off their own land. Just like Palestine another place that never existed… Palestine was a Roman word and rather derogatory for the land where the Jews live) just as we fight battles here on earth. God has been clashing with Satan since the falling.
I like your comment nomad but here's the deal and it's hard for people to embrace this. Sometimes I can't get this through my head.
It's all gonna crash. Nothing in that Bible that's been predicted has ever not followed through. Fortunately, yet, unfortunately for us as odd as that sounds. I don't think man has the capability to change God's mind, especially with the pattern of behavior. The Bible was written for many reasons and one of them is to warn you right now there is only one way out.... I've watched this over the decades as well just when you think the left can't get any crazier they sit around holding each other's beer and the circle jerk rolls on and on and on circling down the drain. You don't have to go with it.
I meant what I said above. I don't like it, but I have to live it and I'm gonna follow what Christ tells me and that is to hold onto him and it doesn't mean there won't be trials and there won't be pain and maybe even death. But I'm not gonna forsake him for the antichrist, for the beast, for Satan for the love of Epstein. It's not gonna happen.
By studying fervently more in my Bible I am prepared for what's coming, whether I like it or not. Are you talking about this stuff with my mother when I was 13. Now I just go back and study deeper for greater understanding just like reading a plumbing manua. I'm also prepared to open my mouth and tell people the good news at the same time I fight it and I continue to vote and do the things that I can.
It's weird when people say you should be blessed to live in these times and in a way we are, but you were designed to be here no matter what you think. There is not a lot of time left.
The Bible tells me not to pick a time and a day and I'm not doing that, but it tells me to keep my eye out for the signs and they are everywhere and this is a snowball rolling down a hill. It might hit a tree and deflect and slow down briefly, but it's gonna pick up speed again. We're gonna see a lot of shit happening fast before we go.
I'm gonna say it again. Find Christ explore what he offers you, make your decision, save your eternity. It's not about this place. I can't stand it here either day by day. It's like carrying an anvil around. When I cope with a savior and I move forward that's real progress not that horseshit coming from the left side of insanity down there in Washington.
"Nothing in that Bible that's been predicted has ever not followed through."
7 ABSURD Prophecies Jesus Made That NEVER Came True
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTVdKHQdjG4
Jesus was coming, but a jumbo jet plowed into him and his entourage!!!
Feathers everywhere!!!
Carl Jung, influential in the fields of psychiatry, anthropology, archaeology, literature, philosophy, psychology and religious studies, in his autobiography "Memories Dream Reflections" said "I will not discuss the transparent prophecies of the Book of Revelation because no one believes in them and the whole subject is an embarrassing one."
Believers in prophecy often like to cite the long period of elapsed time between the prophecy and its "fulfilment". As making the original prophecy more impressive. But unless the original prophecy said how long it would take to be fulfilled, then it doesn't make it more impressive - it actually makes it much less so.
--------
"I don't think man has the capability to change God's mind"
“The man who prays is the one who thinks that God has arranged matters all wrong, but who also thinks that he can instruct God how to put them right.” -Christopher Hitchens. Why prayer is useless.
--------
"By studying fervently more in my Bible I am prepared for what's coming, whether I like it or not."
I love the "you need to be looking for him" stuff.
Quick question: "Why?"
Christians really don't understand this:
I don't believe in God.
I do not believe there is anything for me to be looking for.
"Do your own research!" - the official and automatic reply whenever they are caught out on their religious.
It's maddening that they think reading scripture is research ~ you're just conditioning yourself more with falsehoods.
In one part of the Bible Jesus says that he would come back within "this generation" but in another he says that only the father knows the time of his return, and that even the son doesn't know it. So, if the son doesn't know his time of return, then how could he promise it to "his generation?" Was Jesus just making things up?
Dennis the Menace. Man, you are a miserable deluded son of a bitch.
Slit your throat now save yourself the misery because nothing exists when you're gone, right? Go to Chinada they'll do the HONORS to you for free.
The humiliating display of pride and the lack of empathy for others with different beliefs that Christians are infamous for. There truly is no hate quite like Christians Love! Religious folk prove every day that arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand.
Why can’t people talk reasonably, like adult human beings, and instead raise accusations? I don’t understand that.
If you would take off your glasses of hatred, put all my words into context, then there would be no reason to attribute things to me the way you do. One can also have different opinions on fundamental matters. I have no problem with that. But I sense pure hatred in you and you interpret something into my words that is in no way stated there at all. You know it's a loving religion when it's laced with threats, Actually, it's you who is miserable deluded son of a bitch and an ignorant miserable fuck.
I have always found this so bizarre. When people reject my beliefs, I might think the person is wrong, but I don't care if they believe what I believe or not. I always find it ironical when someone tells me that they "I hope God finds you". IMHO, they're not talking about me, but rather they want everyone on earth to agree with THEM to help clear up THEIR suppressed doubts and lingering insecurity about their own faith. If they were secure in their faith, why do they care what I believe?
I have no "God". There is no devil, no Heaven or Hell. None of these things exist my friend. Betcha you can't prove they do! You give me the impression that you have never read one counter argument to your beliefs. And you sound like you talk down to everyone because you have convinced yourself that you are the smartest person in the room. You get all butthurt if others don't just accept your assumptions without evidence. You think if they won't, then they aren't open-minded. GMAFB
Theists don’t deal with reality over emotion. They argue to satisfy their fears. Arguing with a theist is letting them know they will die. They treat it like a death threat. They’re fear driven, not fact driven. Theists arguments are a threat: "If you don't believe in my God you go to hell." This is made even worse when they add "this is comforting for me." They find comfort in folks being threatened with hell by their God ~ and they are comforted that other people will go to hell for simply not believing what they believe. This sounds psychopathic to me.
I'm 77-years-old. Raised in a Cristian family. Read the Bible every day and prayed to "God" every morning and night. With as much humility as I could muster. Went to Church every Sunday. Taught kids Sunday School. Attended adult Bible Classes. Went to Bible camps. Betcha I now the New Testament better than 90% of Christians.
At 56-years-old "God" had never revealed himself to me. Not once. I finally figured out that I had been brainwashed as a young child. And it was all male bovine excrement! Either God did not give a shit, or he did not exist. I threw of my chains and shackles of tyrannical religion and learned to think for myself. The best thing I ever did. I changed my life for the better. My only regrets: wasting so much time of the only life you get here on earth with this debilitating nonsense. The whole story about Jesus coming back to life after crucifixion is a story invented by religious cultists. Myth at best. Lies at worst.
The Case Against Theism - Refuting the Resurrection Argument
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMt5PVERi8c
There have been hundreds of "Gods." Every religion claim's that theirs is the only true God! What evidence do you have that your religion is not just other false religion? Why is your "God" real and all the others are not? When you understand why you dismiss ALL the other possible "Gods", only then will you understand why we atheists dismiss yours.
Atheism is the only true default position when it comes to the question of “God”. The only way to prove Atheism wrong is by proving that a “God” exist. Nobody has ever done that. Give it your best shot, my man. An argument for God and a ham sandwich combined are worth slightly less than a ham sandwich. You can have as many philosophical arguments for “God” as you like, it doesn't change the fact that there's no evidence that there is one.
BTW, when Americans are asked to indicate their religious affiliation, 28% now check 'none.' A study from Pew Research finds that the religiously unaffiliated ~ atheists, agnostic and those who say their religion is "nothing in particular" is now the largest group. More prevalent among American adults than Catholics (23%) or evangelical Protestants (24%).
Are you saying that 28% are miserable deluded sons of a bitch? Who are you to judge the World you ignorant fuck? LOL
"The Bible was written for many reasons"...yeah right!
The Bible is convincing evidence that people invented and wrote down stories. That is all.
The Book of Revelation reads like someone mixed political paranoia, cosmic horror, and bad numerology after too much wine—then called it prophecy. If a book needs beasts with seven heads, magic numbers, and a dragon to explain reality, its basically ancient fan fiction, not a roadmap for the future.
The guy's that wrote the fairytale ''Bible'' had no clue where our Sun went at night ....let that sink in !
Anonymous undated ancient writings. Sounds like a solid foundation for basing your life on! "It's all bullshit, and it's all fucking stupid." The best and most accurate description of religion.
“After all, Lazarus was raised—never said a word about it, the daughter of Jairus was raised—didn’t say a thing about what she had been through, and the gospels tell us that at the time of the crucifixion, all the graves in Jerusalem opened, and their occupants wondered around the streets to greet. So it seems the resurrection was something of a banality at the time.” —Christopher Hitchens
Here's evidence from my book of claims... Gosh why is that always their go-to answer?
Another year goes by and still not a single convincing reason to believe in the existence of any god, gods, demigods, souls, spirits, magic, any form of afterlife or other divine or supernatural beings. Something tells me today will be no different.
If God creates souls he knows are damned to hell that means he's a total POS.
And it makes you a POS if you believe in that!
You did a double post here Dennis you're telling us a lot about yourself. It's getting harder and harder to feel sorry for you. You are one ignorant miserable fuck. You see yourself in everything and literally nothing else.
I'm not here to judge you. I'm just here to observe you and it's an ugly fucking site pal
I'm not gonna tell you the trouble you're causing yourself right now cause you're too fucking stupid to do your homework.... and that's just the story of your problems.
Atheism The stage five cancer of the mind. The antichrist will be here soon. Maybe he'll change your mind. That'll be practice for hell and you're gonna fold faster than a beach chair....
You really need to read Biglino's "The Naked Bible".
It will wake you up... and shut you up.
Yes, the Church Fathers were all but unanimous: The Anti-Christ will be a Jew. How else would he be able to sit in the rebuilt Temple to receive worship? And at the Vatican too but those who think he is Christ.
The anti-Christ is an institution, not an individual. Its representatives, one after another, have been sitting in the Temple (in this context, the body of Christ, His people) for 1500 years, demanding worship and obedience *in place of Christ*. They have literally said that obedience to them is necessary for salvation.
Anti-Christ doesn't just mean against Christ - it also means in place of Christ. The Jews can rebuild their temple or not rebuild it - it has no consequence for biblical prophecy.
Trump is taking on the Blob - which includes nefarious US machinations in Iran keeping tensions high - and we simply need to support him and his crew which know exactly what they are doing.
Ah, yes. Trump playing his genius three-dimensional chess against the nefarious forces of ‘The Blob’, like some superhero doll with articulated limbs, now with a cape that magically wards off all moral concerns like wholesale grifting and hand-drawing nude girl Epstein birthday cards.
Eye roll.
There is no genius in common sense. You need to get over the 'game' the rest of the government has been playing for decades to steal your wealth.
Don - Anyone else doing this?No, they are taking their % of your money.

"The Congress of our time is demonstrating that we might not be worthy of governing ourselves. We are at a cycle-low for public rectitude..." Yes, but why?
Citizens United was but a symptom of the underlying problem when the modern world meets the democratic process. Why does more money for the campaign mean a more likely success as a candidate? Because the voters respond to ads instead of doing a little research and critical thinking.
Why can't a huge percentage of kids graduating from High school read at a level equal to their grade or in some cases at all?
Because of affirmative action, which allows the hiring of unqualified, stupid people to be teachers and administrators. And the failure to recognize that blacks can't read beyond a 5th-grade level.
Because they don't have to.
Told a grandkid he needed to read more. He said he did... he listens to books on his cellphone.
That might partially true, but this has been a theme for the last fifty years.
I knew kids in high school that could barely read.
We have some friends that pulled their kids out of public school early and entered them into a home school club.
Their kids are smart, articulate, informed, and polite the opposite of some of the kids I know in public schools still.
Affirmative action, which allows the hiring of unqualified, stupid people to be teachers and administrators, is the reason. And the failure to recognize that blacks can't read beyond a 5th-grade level.
It's because of affirmative action, which allows the hiring of unqualified, stupid people to be teachers and administrators. And the failure to recognize that blacks can't read beyond a 5th-grade level. Affirmative action ruined education.
Most people are uneducable at a deep level. Why? Because they're not interested even if they have a high IQ. Universal education is thus a fraud.
The Amish are correct in this way. They get all they need by 6th or 7th grade.
Teacher's Union corruption.
Fat dyke Weingarten is the poster-pig.
Back in the '70s I was a reader for an English professor who claimed that most (I forget percentage) of the students in sophomore and junior level English courses were functionally illiterate--they could not spell or construct a grammatically correct sentence. I didn't believe it until I saw it in the papers I was reading for his junior-level f&sf class. True, the class was famous on campus, but these students =chose= to take it--it was not required. It wasn't an easy 4.0, either. So I was horrified at the poor writing skills of many of these folks.
Blame it on affirmative action. Affirmative action, which allows the hiring of unqualified, stupid people to be teachers and administrators. And the failure to recognize that blacks can't read beyond a 5th-grade level.
AA wasn't the case here--all white students in a junior-level college class, instructor terrifyingly intelligent, well qualified, and cared about the material and the students.
That said, you have some good points. I've told this story on CFN before, but I'll tell it again. For the psychiatry course in medical school, circa 1979 or 1980, we had only handouts, no book. Being greatly disappointed in this, a classmate and I went to the co-instructors to ask why no book for what was basically a grad level course. We were told, and I quote, "Because some of your colleagues can't read." I asked if those colleagues were of the darker persuasion, and was told yes.
Now, I don't believe the instructors meant the students in question literally could not read--just that they couldn't read well enough to handle a textbook of psychiatry. The school did have quotas re: admissions, so I have no doubt that is how these folks landed in med school. The main upshot for me is that I am skeptical of any minority physician and avoid them when I can, for good or for bad.
Citizens United was not a "symptom" of anything, it was the endpoint of a decades-long effort to achieve exactly what the Supreme Court delivered.

...instead of doing a little research and critical thinking.
The flipside of Trump Derangement Syndrome, is this belief that Trump is doing his best to wage a noble and heroic fight, the only one with the cojones who can save Western civ. (Maybe the reality is that he's just compromised by the Adelson's money and possibly Epstein's videos?). It's very similar to the belief in hope and change Obama, a cult that just couldn't see how useless and destructive his administration was. How he protected and bailed out the banksters that crashed the economy, and the Bush/Cheney illegal war regime, from accountability. Maybe that was really his main job. Trump is a mental and moral midget and it should be clear to all by now he takes his orders from Bibi. If only we could kick aipac out of our politics and cut off the billions in welfare to Israel, then we might actually have some America first policies.
"If only we could kick aipac out of our politics and cut off the billions in welfare to Israel, then we might actually have some America first policies."
And get rid of the foreign psychotic war criminal Bibi.

That won't solve the issues in the middle east.
Israel is not the problem.
Sunni vs Shite is and when they don't have Jews living in their own country Israel to hate then they will return to murdering each other in mass.
A nuclear armed Iran with intercontinental missiles...Do the math you are a reasonably smart person.
It may not cool the tension in the ME, but getting AIPAC and the Zionists out of the US government would a great step forward for this country. Yes, Israel is THE problem for the US and the ME.
Actually, Ben, Jews were accorded great privileges in Islamic countries for hundreds of years. Many Jews have remained in Iran for years and live quite well. It has been Israel who has ratcheted up the chaos in the ME and it's a result of Zionism. Sunni-Shi'a has many similarities to the Catholicism-Protestantism/Christian Zionism division within Christianity.
Why is it irrational for a nation like Iran to have nuclear weapons when the more insane nation in this conflict, Israel, has them, and has openly talked about using them though their Sampson option.
No, jews were allowed to live as 2nd class citizens under dhimmitude. Pretending it was a "great privilege" is either ignorant or disingenuous on your part.
Because Iran is governed by a theocratic death cult that calls for the destruction of America and Israel on a daily basis. You think we're gonna let those barbaric theocrats get nukes? Lol
Israel is a knife to the back of Islam per a crazy Shiite cleric.
They believe Mad Mo made the third and final revelation.
Many Muslims also believe Jews are cursed to wander the world forever for going against Gods word and believe Israel is an abomination of God's word.
Which is why Iran hates Israel so much.
Supporting the fake people Palestinians was just an excise to attack Israel in every way possible.
Palestinian state creation was a Soviet invention as punishment for Israel going against Communism and creating their own Republic.
Every fool arguing against Israel is pushing failed Communist doctrine.
Spot on.
As were all non-Muslims, but if you read the history of Islam you will note they were treated quite well in Persia, they were treated well by the Muslims in Spain. There is all sorts of evidence regarding the treatment of Jews in Islamic countries. Some say they are treated better than Muslim Arabs living in Israel. The Iranian Mullahs are hardliners, but the Iranian Jews remaining have no desire to relocate. The main objective is Zionism not necessarily the Hebrew faith.
I see Islam and Judaism as two sides of the same coin. You are afraid of Muslims with Nukes and I have just as much fear of Zionism with nukes.
"Treated quite well", you mean as 2nd class citizens?
Look at you skipping past the hundreds of pogroms agaisnt Jews by Muslims over the centuries.
We definitely need to cut the grifter money flowing into Washington. Leaders in Congress and Senate should not be "Dual Citizens" and carry 2 passports. This practice has been going on since Christmas Eve in 1913 when the Federal Reserve Act was singed into law in secret.
Did you know that there is actually NO government information about Congressional ‘dual citizens’??? Anything you read about that comes from internet opinion (and the assumption that if you’re Jewish, you’re automatically an Israeli citizen, which is total BS. Maybe actually look up what it takes to become an Israeli citizen, as in how long you have to live there to become one. Let me know when your Jewish Congressmen have disappeared for years.
Noted. So allow me drop the term "Dual Citizen" and let's pass The "Dual Loyalty Disclosure Act" (H.R. 2356), introduced in the 119th Congress (2025-2026), which proposes amending the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 to require candidates for the U.S. House or Senate to disclose any foreign citizenship they hold. It aims to ensure transparency regarding potential foreign allegiances. Source: Congress.gov | Library of Congress.
This bill was also introduced in 2023…HR946. Still sitting around without being passed. And frankly I wish it would pass, so all the internet BS about all these ‘Israeli citizens’ sitting in Congress would end.
No matter if dual citizens or not... their loyalty is clearly to a country that is not America.
Care to disclose YOUR religion and loyalty?
All it takes is some cash and it can be accomplished quite easy. Most of the Zionists surrounding the Trump and Biden administration are dual citizens and many are former IDF soldiers. Samuel Huntington warned about the negative aspects of dual citizens and our politicians did not heed his advice. They took the cash from AIPAC instead.
I guess you’re illiterate? There is no information about ‘dual citizenship’ in government. It’s only speculation. Of course, I imagine you think every Jew is a dual citizen. Whatever. This conversation is over.
One has to ask the question are Jews, Muslims, and Roman Catholics American first or second?
It's a fair question.
It is, but as far as I know there is only the Jewish State of Israel, There is the Islamic Republic of Iran, but I am unaware of the Catholic Republic or the Catholic State of......? Do you?
Oh, by the way here is another data point for your dumb remark:
United States: Officially recognized dual citizenship in 1990, allowing citizens to hold multiple nationalities without losing their U.S. citizenship.
Citizens. We talking about CONGRESS
You start off with a childish smear, how juvenile of you.
There is plenty of information on dual citizenship. In 2003 there was a campaign launched to weaken the original INA section 337[2], & U.S. code section 1449 [a] this was largely a result of massive immigration and the deconstructionist movement. One can trace the weakening to declining assimilation of immigrants and their disaporas, along with the denationalization of elites that blurs the distinction between national and transnational identities. There are many other reasons such as the law does not disallow a dual citizen from voting in elections in their adopted US and their home nation. They can even hold office in two different nations. The model the Israeli's have devised wherein they stepped up their lobbying both domestically via such organizations like AIPAC to actual forces external to the USA. Many other countries have noticed the increase in aid and the influence they wield on USA politicians and have stepped up their own lobbying and influencing game. Mexico being another proponent of this change in citizen dynamics.That does not imply that I see every Jew as a dual citizen or every Mexican, et-al.
You may want to end the conversation because you waded into something that puts you out of your depth, intellectually and as a citizen of this country, assuming you are.
AIPAC is an American organization. We are not talking about private dual citizenship but dual citizenship in Congress. And there is NO information from the government indicating such citizenship. There is now a bill in teh House to attempt to rectify that.
Exactly. I watched my "side" become complete hypocrites over Obama, and that madness has never been shaken off. Now many of the Trump folk are the same way. I've been reading JHK since 2005 and tried to remember how he felt about the Iraq War. Found an interesting letter posted to him by an old reader about the underlying neocon beliefs of JHK, which seem fully validated since 10/7. The whole CF project in hindsight looks like delusional promises made of "vindication" to people rightfully critical of progressive overreach, while quietly fundamentally reasserting neocon hegemony in key areas.
"Fully validated since 10/7"???
Hardly. https://www.bitchute.com/video/1weoWFrfc95Q
Sorry Jim.
Trump may be well meaning but there is no getting over the fact that he is essentially an American imbecile. Which there is no shortage of these days.
He has thrust the empire into one of the greatest rope-a-dope conflicts of all times. As only an imbecile can do.
That is not to fault him for all the domestic problems in the US. That is more attributable to the mass of morons that inhabit the country.
George Carlin summarized it more succinctly: Garbage in, garbage out.
American Imbecile? Surely, then, you must believe that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris were significantly worse?
Comparing shit with other shit just proves the American crisis.
Trump has been a great disappointment so far. He has caved on nearly every major issue, and his base is leaving him in droves.
He has alienated actual "MAGA" typess like Greene and Carlson, and is losing support among those who joined him from across the aisle (see Gabbard).
Rightfully so. We've had support for quaxxines, mass murderers from Pfizer and ISIS in the White House, new wars, and no action whatsoever on the pollutants being sprayed in our skies on a daily basis.
And, of course, he is entirely owned by Israel. We have foreign agents in the WH and at the highest positions in government.
LOL…Greene and Carlson are not, nor ever were, MAGA. Carlson is connected to the CIA, FFS
He's staking his life, fortune, and sacred honor by taking on Israel's control of the United States. All is forgiven him if he stays on this course. His spook background, his chronic silliness about UFO's and "I like the Noahide laws" etc, and his weird laugh.
They most certainly were, but MAGA, as we have seen, is something that shifts with the winds.
We have returned to Uniparty politics; directed by corporate criminals and banksters.
What has he said that you dispute?
Yes, his Pappy was CIA... so what?
He also applied for the CIA and has a history of drug and alcohol abuse. I suspect he’ll be back in rehab before the year is out. Watch that space.
Carlson the paid shill?
Shill for what? He made quite a turnaround from the old 9/11 days. And he's been on the right side of most issues over the past few years.
Trump, on the other hand, did what politicians usually do: promised to be one thing, and delivered another in every major area that mattered to MAGA and anyone who cares about freedom.
You must have been asleep when he made his latest 180° turnaround. No one cares what you think about Trump.
Carlson is the furthest thing from MAGA.
Now, yes. Because MAGA is more or less globalism.
Well that's just false
Well Tx if not Trump/MAGA who?
This is what I keep coming back to; who else has national viability?
I'm one of the voters disappointed. I would rather Isreal fall, than send one more dime, bullet or boot to the middle east. That's the only reason I voted. I've never voted before, actually. I voted because I thought he might just be narcissistic enough to avoid war just to be know as the president of peace. Solutions won't come from online discourse I am afraid.
He has solved 8 wars thus far, in one year. And is basically saving the planet by ensuring that Iran does not get the nuclear bomb. Not enough??
No.
Stalin's well-known statement about elections being decided "not by those who cast the votes, but those who count the votes" likely has a corollary: "what matters is not who the voters vote for, but who controls the choices they are given." Biden and/or Harris vs. Trump--great choice there, as it seems to be turning out.
Perhaps getting rid of Islamic radical operatives that were working on a nuclear bomb might have been a sensible thing to do??
Any peace is going to involve Iranian observers at Dimona making sure Israel's illegal nuclear capacity is dismantled. Failing that, the war ends when Iran says it does.
The IRGC is being dismantled. Sorry to disappoint. And the Iranian population is actually thanking Trump AND Israel.
You believe your own lies. The spider is caught in his own web.
Your posts represent the propaganda of the same swine that now control Trump.
IOW... total laughable bullcrap.
Replying to Tx: Firstly “OF WHICH there is no shortage these day;” hate to correct a self inflated booby… oh now that’s a lie. Begs the question who you would have instead as vaunted leader for our times?
Donald Trump? Well-meaning?
The words "well meaning" have no, well, meaning when applied to Donald Trump. The concepts of altruism or earnest effort toward a consistent goal don't exist in his world view. This is what makes JHK and MAGA's devotion to him as some kind of protagonist for their goals so hilarious: Trump himself has no goals, only appetites.
DJT is well meaning, and has a plan. It's a plan quite obvious to those who understand the world around them. You just can't see it and probably wouldn't understand it if you could. Enjoy living under the communist Carney.
It's amazing to see all the armchair generals on both sides come out and what amounts to a week old war if that.....
There's a lot to be digested the main thing on this planet right now is getting rid of fucking scumbag totalitarian Islamic horseshit while simultaneously ratcheting down China's ambitions anything Russia wants outside of a peaceful European lifestyle and then there's a few more bad actors.....
And then there's the "so let's just all take our ball and go home and live another half century with these shitty cults and ideologies and see where it gets us." eternally ostrich prone pearl clutching passengers...
Ernesto,
I'm smearing Vagisil on all your posts right now..... It appears the Midol isn't working.
Don't make me Call in the 'MAID'‼️
Mr Kunstler, I have long anticipated receiving your Monday emails. I love your wit, style and find your observations provide a genuine touch stone for me. Quite often, I forward these gems onto friends with similar interests. While I agree with your concerns for getting the SAVE Act passed in the Senate along with righting the wrongs of the corrupt law fare waged against President Trump, I am not optimistic with regard to the Iran situation. What started out as it will probably be over in a few days, then a few weeks, then maybe a few months and now rumblings of boots on the ground, American boots in fact horrifies me. It's like de ja vu all over again!! Our track record stinks since the 40's. Hanging by my thumbs in praying for a miracle.
Thank you for the thoughtful post.
I see you are back using your 5D chess gambit again: Be patient while the grand scheme unfolds. Full disclosure, I voted for our 5D chess champ. No, sorry, he’s not playing 5D chess – he’s barely able to struggle through a 2-D backyard game of checkers. Let’s face it, he lied to us big time during his campaign and he is currently failing our country Bigley. Sometimes you just have to know when it’s time to cut your losses short.
James Woods certainly has, just over the SAVE ACT bullshit from Thune.
James Woods is a highly intelligent man and he finds the Republicans are losers. I am surprised it took him this long. I left years ago and find the Republicans repugnant, but the Dems are many magnitudes worse.
The JW post hurts. We cannot continue to lose soldiers. He'll come back I'm sure.
I believe the investigations into Fulton County in Georgia and Maricopa County in Arizona and other states will greatly accelerate over the next few weeks in order to expose the Big Steal in 2020 and demonstrate how Mail-In Ballots and foreign intervention have corrupted our voting system. This then will put extreme pressure on traitors like Thune and others who seek to block Trump's effort to take the country back. The time is now to pass the SAVE America Act.
It will be interesting to see how the Blue States respond to a SAVE America Law. Will they resist its implementation by still allowing Mail-In ballots, for example? What will the government's response be if they do resist? Could a state's right to seat US House and Senate members be forfeited? What if a Republican-leaning Congressional District within a Blue "resistor" State chooses to follow the tenants of the SAVE America Law? Will their elected House member be eligible to serve?
Jewish and Christian Zionists seem to think that this war is all about the final battle of good and evil in Armageddon. Well, who knows, maybe it is, but what they likely have wrong is who they think is on the “Good“ side and who they think is on the “evil“ side.
Only Biblical zealots are talking about ‘end times’. On a more secular note, how about just getting rid of Islamic radicals that are disrupting western countries and the MIddle East?
First the crazy shite one and then the sunni ones.
That will require far more than Americans and the Kurds.
A reformation in Islam is required.
I agree an Islamic reformation is needed and overdue...but that is not surprising when they keep killing all the reformers.
It’s impossible to reform the evil out of what is fundamentally evil. “Reform” is the mask they hide behind until they quietly outnumber you. Then it’s you that must “reform”, i.e submit (or die).
There are those that do not believe this they of course also believe big government is here to help.
I used to believe in Santa Clause too so there is some bliss in ignorance. After 9/11, when GWB proclaimed their religion was one of peace I decided to read their playbook for myself. It’s anything but.
One need only read the Koran.
It never mentions loving anyone but Allah.
The rest is conquering and war.
Sorry pal but you’re on the wrong side of history on this one. Your nation has been hijacked by the only terrorist in the middle east, namely Israel. Your President and the batshit crazy mob around him have pulled you into a quagmire unlike any other. He’s already trying to convince you that high oil prices are fine and that is just the beginning. Iran will NOT lose. Good luck.
So you possess neither foresight nor patience. Apparently, you've only briefly studied one side of theirstory. There's nobody named McNamara in this "crazy mob"....... You might want to hold your fetid breath for a little while.
Flaws, warts and all whatever, dollars to donuts there are far better people running this operation right now than you've seen since your days in Carters brand laderhausen. If they succeed, no worries, you'll go right on bitching..... more sullen than ever. There's some progress for ya!
Among others, you bring to mind that what's his name General McGregor, or whatever constantly on TV constantly wringing his hands, clutching his pearls, but never scratching his balls to find out if he can come up with a solution for anything. Naysayers are a dime a fucking dozen. It must hurt to watch a president you don't care for and we don't find perfect who actually has the fucking nards to go put an end to this fucking dribble that has accomplished nothing but spilling blood for years, destroying Persia and the Kurds simultaneously costing the world in lives, blood, and treasure endlessly.
So sit there on your couch, watch your MS never or whatever the hell you watch with all these fucking clowns, shake your Stalinist fist.... (Pro Tip: pull it out of your ass first) they're not quite a 'mob' on your side they're not that sophisticated...
just a "Bakers Doesn't" of assholes spread over a handful of occult riven shows ever earnestly interviewing somebody at just an arm's-length from the prevaricators of the eternal bullshit in the "Middle East" whatever that is..... it's actually the DIDDLE East they can't keep their fucking hands off the Bacha Bazzi boys.... or the seven-year-old girls on their way to Madrassah.
That was good, Warren.
Thanks it helps when I go into a trance and belt out my rantz ‼️😜
I worked it didn't I⁉️
Wrong side of history? Have you been alive the past 50 years?
I guess you can also add Iran and the Arab countries to your ‘hijacking’ scenario, as they are thanking Israel for its intervention in Iran.
You sure spew a ton of hasbara BS.
Are you pretending the gulf states haven't aligned against Iran?
Yep.
You need better info than that which is expelled from Bibi's buttocks.
Ah yes, famously Bibi controls the governments of Qatar, UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, all of whom have condemned Iran's attacks and shot down their missiles & drones.
You need to stop pretending you have anything worthwhile to contribute 🤡
Are you partially retarded? ADHD? Autistic? Incontinent?
Ever listen to Cols Macgregor and Wilkerson? Scott Ritter? Max Blumenthal? Jeffry Sachs? Larry Johnson?
The Gulf states are getting ready to dump the US completely... and are in discussions with Iran. You don't know this?
Here's Ritter... try to dispute his facts:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGazMbUn1-I
Done here.
Cowards run and hide.
Your propaganda/lies are laughable.
Iran already lost lol
There is a book I highly recommend. It is entitled "World Made By Hand" and is about what happened to the United States after some sort of indeterminant war in the Middle East.
The best. I couldn't put it down. I had to keep reading all four books and was sorry that there wasn't a fifth.
Based Kunstler-enjoyer.
Current events seem like we are in the prequel, maybe 10 to 15 years before the series starts.
Kunstler says the chaos around the Iran war and American politics is not the end of the story — it is the messy birth of a new order. Much of the outrage, he argues, is driven less by strategy and more by hatred of Trump, even when his actions disrupt both Iran’s power structure and entrenched political rackets at home. Iran’s ruling clerics, in his view, have long fueled regional chaos through proxies and nuclear blackmail, and the confrontation now unfolding is the inevitable result. At the same time, the United States faces its own internal disorder — broken elections, corporate money flooding politics, and institutions losing legitimacy. Kunstler’s message is simple: this moment may look like collapse, but it is really a brutal passage through chaos on the road back to order.
— Lone Wolf
Talk about all the broken institutions in our country, Congress just left on another week of vacation as security lines grind to a halt at airports. The Jacobin leaders on the left, Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, have become insufferable. I can no longer watch TV as Schumer and Jeffries gloat and smile at the chaos and misery they are causing. There must be a special place in hell for these two idiots.
There is
The Iranians who were persecuted by the Mullahs are correct in their statements that Iran has been at war with the West and the US in particular since they took over the whole country 50 years ago or so. It is just that our politicians have been too stupid or too frightened politically to do what was necessary to cut their balls off. What truly emboldened Sadaam (spelling) was how successful Iran had been at blackmailing the West so he wanted in on the action. HIs only screw up was letting it be known he wanted to kill Bush #1 and this got him killed----eventually but.....both Bushs had no guts for really taking on the Iranians because they were frightened of the blowback they would get from the Euros and others who were making tons of money off all of the sanctions and those people did not want to lose their lucrative $billions. Remember the mayor of London who during this time was ( I assume it was true) making $millions off helping the Iraq government evade sanctions so he was against the war.? I am sure it was the same with many of our own gutless politicians and Congress critters .
Yes, I am afraid that Israel has way too much power over our politicians with its well oiled political contribution schemes and blackmailing by Mossad and it is true we are giving Israel way too much taxpayer money when they are rich in their own right but........Iran is telling us to our faces they want to kill us all and at least Israel's ultimate goals do not align 100% with ours it is a damn site closer to what we are wanting that the death of America.
Trump has big balls and is trying to make it safer for America and,..,,.., the world and is willing to take on the real problems rather than sit by and watch us die a slow death of 1000 cuts. And......I applaud him for saying (or yelling) THOSE PEOPLE ARE CRAZY!!!!!! Truer words have never been spoken in a State of the Union message.
They're going to get us nuked. Islam can't do that but Trump and the Christian Zionists can.
Nuked by whom?
You just said they were our enemies, remember?
?
Russia or China or unknown state actors as in the patriot classic, "One Second After".
In other words, a comment not meant to be taken seriously.
The great nation of No one that currently has one.
There is one nation that has reportedly used children to find mines in a minefield.
It is widely reported they gave these children and teenagers a single key to paradise.
A nation willing to do a thing like that with no shame would use nukes and any tool they could against enemies.
Fire upon civilians with zero thought to who they kill and not by accident but deliberate.
They are now using the Hamas tactic of placing schools and hospitals right next to military assets to use as propaganda chess pieces.
