A majority of these people involved in the traitorous plots to overthrow our government once upon a time all worked in the State Dept., causing mischief and mayhem -in concert with our CIA - around the world for decades.
Is it any wonder the world has been a complete shit show for all those decades?
Secretary Rubio has done a truly masterful job in the past two years in cleaning out those Augean stables of the filth and corruption that permeated nearly every nook and cranny of it, so much so that the world and all those globalists elites have been effectively neutered in their efforts to employ a ‘one world government’.
They’re attempting to strike back in their dying last gasps and grasps for power, as events in Poland reveal, but they are nothing but empty husks, broke and powerless, and now their countries are literally going down in flames and anarchy run rampant.
Trump has exposed all of them for the authoritarian wannabes that they are, as their financial lifeline of USAID tax dollars has been shut down.
Those plotting here to tear this country apart will meet the full measure of the law - bank on it.
We need to win tomorrow and bigly so get out there and vote and let’s continue our fight to free this country - and others - from the Islamo-Marxist- Globalist oppressors!
Here's hoping that State is no longer the building where Sec'y. Clinton could have great big CGI donor files sitting aroound on tables as she took visits from them and raked bucks, with the able assistance of the current Mrs. Soros.
As much as it pains me to disagree with you, James, I am compelled to question this chain of thought: America's internal and external adversaries are in the final stages of orchestrating a "soft" coup while simultaneously goading the president to respond in a manner that is most likely to defeat them by exercising his executive authority. Notwithstanding the importance of the midterms tomorrow, I submit that he's already had more than ample justification to go this route. Given that he hasn't, I do not expect this occasion to be any different.
These times are so similar to the early 1930s that resulted in the election of FDR, our only four time president. Why? Because he put a steady hand on the national situation during another technological revolution causing economic disruption, stopped a communist takeover during the thirties, instituted necessary socialist policies and fought a war that was many times more deadly than what we have seen since Vietnam. He was a hero for much of the country, exercising his executive authority. An interesting similarity, he showed that socialistic policies has very little impact on the Great Depression, as it peaked in 1936. When technology disrupts the economy significantly, bad things happen. Think AI as we face another potential Fourth Turning catastrophe. Microsoft has offered a buy out to 60000 of its employees and many others are lined up behind them. The stock market is teetering as the NASDAQ wonders what AI is actually going to do. The entire country is over leveraged, just like 1929 and 2008. Trump is Hoover, the Fed is nuts trying to throttle down an economy looking for any excuse to go down, the Dems will try anything to throttle down Trump’s attempts to re-industrialize the country and in a couple of years the total result may be 1932 the second time around. I see absolutely no way that AI will stop the snowball coming.
The nation, the world is in dire straits right now, again like the 1929-1932 period as politics appears to not have power to stop the global collapse and the ascent of socialism and Islam as the result. Is it any wonder that Iran wants control of oil now to forward the Intifada dictated by the Quran. Europe and its youthful, dumb socialists are just a warning shot at the Western world. A socialist Islam world order, laying in wait, is foaming at the mouth to take over and have a totalitarian NWO. So here we are in the US, with potentially 51% of the people favoring the NWO. The Fourth Turning is coming onto us at an accelerating rate.
A new saw.
The “Democratic”socialists are using Islam to take power, but the Islamis world is using the “Democratic” socialists to take over the world. IMO, Iran is the fulcrum.
The difference now is that Trump is not aligned any longer with British Imperialism. He has set a table of monumental change, hence why the Uniparty so hates MAGA, and everything aligned with it. I just pray Trump has been preparing for the insurrection and swiftly ends it. We'll see who really wants to "save our democracy" when the military rolls in.
British imperialism led the way in the Middle East for a century. They took total power from the Ottomans after WW1 and after being torn apart by WW2, passed the mantle to the USA over a period of time. France did the same thing with Indo-China. Lucky US, we got Vietnam and all the Middle East crap since.
All for control of oil.
Trump is 100% correct to try to disentangle us from the European insanity. You are right, it is time for him to disentangle us from our own insanity.
He is making mistakes recently, allowing others to get away with bs they shouldn’t, both foreign and domestic. Is he assuaging the opposition, always a mistake?
I remember the days before the Internet started to have an effect. A lot of us wondered where things would go, mostly all wrong. The problem was no one knew how disruptive it could be or even what it was capable of affecting. Same with AI.
Some good things could have passed, but the GOP Establishment refused to get it done, thereby causing Americans to (somewhat correctly) think Republicans really don't have any interest in helping anyone not attached to Wall Street or the military-industrial complex. Fuck Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, the Bushes, Karl Rove, George Will, Margaret Noonan, and especially John "Marlboro Man" Thune.
As the Beatles sang, "all the money's gone, nowhere to go." Elected officials, having no more money to spend and insufficient wit to propound and pass legislation, will spend the next two years investigating each other and developing new and different ways to manipulate markets they have invested in or which are developing.
I think the idea is to ensnare the administration into the exercise of force, which will seal the effort to overthrow the government, the January 6 caper being but a preview.
The lefty-leftists have told the world who they are. Do not try to elevate them to a higher plane than the gutter in which they now dwell.
I would prefer a really good public caning like they know how to do in Asia. Then the orange jump suits picking up garbage on the highways for a couple of years.
JHK's Fourth Turning brings to mind what I call the *symptom substitution of history*. Defeat one ideology, overthrow one regime, and the same old human appetites for power simply reappear in different clothing. The symptoms change; human nature does not. Madison understood this, which is precisely why the Constitution was designed to restrain our permanent imperfections. The tragedy is that every generation forgets why the fences were built. https://georgenorwell.substack.com/p/the-symptom-substitution-of-history
We forget in large part because we were never taught these things. We're taught government is the be-all and end-all of everything, and opposing government means you oppose all people having good things.
Is Slotkin gay? She certainly looks like it with that greasy hair style, hasn't taken a shower in a month. She wears flannel shirts and mens jeans rolled up. lol
I do not understand why people like her get their ideas about common sense economic and foreign issues. Someone needs to send her The Long Emergency and Too Much Magic!
As the Federal judges are primarily Deep State, blocking everything the President is trying to do, or the SCOTUS itself, MAGA is in the judges’ crosshairs. The Supreme Court is a gigantic disappointment.
Trump should let them riot , it will be in blue cities in blue states , let them riot , burn it down but tell them there will not be one penny of federal money to rebuild . Given ers have the national guard at their disposal use them or stand by and watch state Capitals burn , red states will stomp on rioters and defeat them .
I'd say they've game-planned a takeover. But keep in mind these people are stupid. They might botch their way into power. But let's not give them more credit than they deserve. The Blue Cult will likely win the House, but it won't mean anything beyond more screaming.
Think you are spot on about everything . . . and yet a lot of it seems surreal, but perhaps that’s the point.
Are we supposed to wake up one morning and find (according to the media) that a group of governors are now running a big part of the country, and the president is not in charge of the United States? - the presidency, senate, Supreme Court, electoral college, borders, elections, the bill of rights, constitution, etc. . . all out the window, never coming back?
Just because of a few thousand, determined, foreign-funded subversives (dark money / leadership).
And yet that is sort of what almost just happened in Poland. . . Crazy.
As a long-time doomer I have regarded this Fourth Turning as an eventuality since well before Strauss & Howe published their book in 1997. Now, finding ourselves on what may well be the eve of the outbreak of CWII, I must admit that I don’t relish the possible prospect of taking to the street and dodging bullets. As history has shown innumerable times, conflicts that are begun on political principle soon devolve into your traditional looting, raping, and pillaging- type mayhem.
Today’s post raises the possibility of the Left holding “a new constitutional convention to radically change the structure of the government to establish permanent one-party rule.” We need to bear in mind that a constitutional convention puts ALL of the cards back on the table, including nationhood, itself. Far more likely than either of our rotten parties prevailing in reinventing the USA would be officially shattering the Union into some constellation of regional entities – new North American countries that don’t much like each other and are far from agreement on where any of the new borders should be set.
In the Cohn Brothers’ great movie No Country for Old Men, Wendell, observing a scene of bloated corpses under the desert sun, asks "It's a mess, ain't it, Sheriff?" Ed Tom Bell replies, "If it ain't, it'll do till the mess gets here.”
From your lips to God's ear, brother!

All those jokes about the Polish people, and now the joke is on the rest of Europe.

Yep. I wouldn't have played footsie with any of these Leftists. Call me a Nazi, get treated like a Nazi, head on a pike.
John,
I remember the days before the Internet started to have an effect. A lot of us wondered where things would go, mostly all wrong. The problem was no one knew how disruptive it could be or even what it was capable of affecting. Same with AI.
Anyone who thinks that President Trump isn’t fighting, and won’t continue to fight, is blind to amply demonstrated reality.
Dems win. 2 more years of executive orders. 2 more years of gridlock/impeachment. And no one of importance is arrested, tried, convicted & sentenced.
At this point, doing nothing legislatively might be the best option.
What legislation has passed in the last twenty years that has really done anything positive?
Obamacare was an unmitigated disaster.
Some good things could have passed, but the GOP Establishment refused to get it done, thereby causing Americans to (somewhat correctly) think Republicans really don't have any interest in helping anyone not attached to Wall Street or the military-industrial complex.

Debbie Downers should go to the basement- that means you !
You are no help, no patriot, and no smart.

Correct!
Good morning y’all. Happy Monday
All these Robespierre wannabes should feel the nick of the national razor just like ol’ Maximillian did
I would prefer a really good public caning like they know how to do in Asia. Then the orange jump suits picking up garbage on the highways for a couple of years.
Best to keep your sexual fetishes private in my experience.

I wish I could give your comment 10 likes!
Trump could go either way. If he goes ballistic, all hell will break loose.
I’m watching Poland. If Tusk is jailed and charged with treason, it could set the tone for events here.
People in Poland have a better taste of that nasty communism thing.
It's not a college conversation piece.
I'm interested in finding out who, under what authority brought German police into Poland, how many and for what?
Poland was one of the few European countries that said no to mass immigration from third-world hellholes.
It was probably to force them to take in a few million jihadis.
Indeed, sir. Thanks for having Elizabeth Nickson on. Love her.
Another great article James. Your articulation of these sometimes complex issues is a real asset to freedom loving people. Keep it up.
Best political writing and most incisive analyses I have seen in at least a decade. Clarity is nowhere else to be found in such refreshing supply.
Promethean Action and C&C are good. Check them out.
The invisible hand behind Slotkin has failed spectacularly…
She might be former CIA but she’s coming across as a lumpen and misdirected Mid-west farm chick….hard to take her seriously
But she has the hair style and the hardened heart of the S.S. Nazi guards at their concentration camps.
Is Slotkin gay? She certainly looks like it with that greasy hair style, hasn't taken a shower in a month. She wears flannel shirts and mens jeans rolled up. lol
She needs to lose 60 lbs and get a brain transplant.
In her case, that would be an "implant." ... an insertion as opposed to a replacement. ;>)
ain't happening soon enough !
I do not understand why people like her get their ideas about common sense economic and foreign issues. Someone needs to send her The Long Emergency and Too Much Magic!
She doesn't think anything.
She is given talking points and blindly runs with them.
Girls with no minds, only fair looks, and no money, are easy to motivate.
She wants to be in the Club.
Sasha Stone'S substack is good.
The key is control of the military, which Trump has. Otherwise, the Dems would have not been braying for Hegseth's head the past 20 months.
But what the Democrats are most sore about is the judiciary where they once legislated the law of the land - hence the talk of ‘packing the court’.
As the Federal judges are primarily Deep State, blocking everything the President is trying to do, or the SCOTUS itself, MAGA is in the judges’ crosshairs. The Supreme Court is a gigantic disappointment.
Trump should let them riot , it will be in blue cities in blue states , let them riot , burn it down but tell them there will not be one penny of federal money to rebuild . Given ers have the national guard at their disposal use them or stand by and watch state Capitals burn , red states will stomp on rioters and defeat them .
I'd say they've game-planned a takeover. But keep in mind these people are stupid. They might botch their way into power. But let's not give them more credit than they deserve. The Blue Cult will likely win the House, but it won't mean anything beyond more screaming.
When children play games and imagine the real world works that way, well, they are most often surprised.
Reality kicks you in the butt if you ignore it.
These university trained kids are about to be brutally awoken.
Well put how these cretans are not in jail ill never know
The grand juries are time-consuming whilst they arrange the subpoenas and indictments. Believe.
Think you are spot on about everything . . . and yet a lot of it seems surreal, but perhaps that’s the point.
Are we supposed to wake up one morning and find (according to the media) that a group of governors are now running a big part of the country, and the president is not in charge of the United States? - the presidency, senate, Supreme Court, electoral college, borders, elections, the bill of rights, constitution, etc. . . all out the window, never coming back?
Just because of a few thousand, determined, foreign-funded subversives (dark money / leadership).
And yet that is sort of what almost just happened in Poland. . . Crazy.
Still caught in the red/blue paradigm are ya? Good guys, bad guys?? This is the real problem.
