We need to knock Iran leadership out once and for all. It is clear that they speak Martian and every agreement we think we have is unintelligible to them. One of the features of Islam. Keep destroying the existing terrorist leadership until the rational people can seize power and reform the entire terrorist based country. Islam is the devil
It will never happen. Nature abhors a vacuum. We knock out the current regime and what replaces it? Why do you assume that the Iranian people, who have failed thus far to over throw the regime, will be able to assemble a better government structure? How many times has the USA intervened in foreign governments and had it result in a better government system. Let's see....
1. Korea. Both countries are still at war even though they aren't lobbing bombs across the armistice line.
2. Vietnam. Went in there, blew up a bunch of jungle, killed a lot of locals, lost a lot of American youth, departed with tails between legs. Communists won that one.
3. Iraq. Installed Saddam Hussein and ultimately betrayed him. Is Iraq now a bastion of freedom since American intervention?
4. Iran. The CIA helped overthrow the Shah. We know how that went. Hello Mr. Ayatollah!
5. Libya. Killed off Mr. Gaddafi and turned the country over to the warlord tribes. Libya, once touted as having highest human development index in all of Africa is now a chaotic shit hole. Well done USA!
6. Afghanistan. Spent 20 years there killing and maiming and in the end packed up our bags, left American citizens behind and left it all for the Taliban.
7. Syria. Still at war.
8. Somalia. Still at war and still a shit hole.
9. Ukraine. The Maiden revolution or coupe resulted in the current war that is killing millions and destroying what was once a quite, docile, milk-toast border land.
10. Venezuela. Abducted Maduro and replaced him with what? Is Venezuela any better? I have heard nothing.
Need I go on? There are others. Chile. Lebanon. Panama. Colombia. On and on and on. Name one country where the USA has intervened in their affairs and has left the place a better place? The battleship USA leaves a wide, dirty and smelly wake.
If the USA had a better track record of intervention I would agree with you, however, the USA's track record is horrible. The USA may regret the time they over threw the Ayatollahs, especially if something worse fills the void.
You have documented the stupidity of the US government over the last 50 years or so. It is why I root for Trump, the first anti-Deep State president we have had since Reagan and before him, DDE. I wish he had more success against the crud in DC, but he keeps on trying.
Where you are wrong is that the government is a reflection of the people, It is the population of the US that has changed, enabling the Deep State to take control. Where the people used to refuse charity, considering it demeaning to their independence, today we have possibly a majority of groveling dependent charity cases. Now that the Dems are having success at enfranchising this element, things are just getting worse.
It will be realized by historians that what led to the demise of the USA due to its debt was the ascent of the gimme class of Americans and invaders.
I think where you are saying I am wrong, JohnAZ is not correct. You are actually bolstering and strengthening my claim. I can't disagree with you because I whole heartedly agree with you.
When I support the USA it is because of the away it was about forty years ago, with Reagan, shutting down the USSR, bolstering the economy, shutting down inflation with Volker, being patriotic, anti-socialistic. The country has declined ever since, starting with Bush 1, and been going south ever since.
Until Trump, and he is having a really tough time dealing with the globalistic, socialist gimme country we have become. If the country has become addicted to socialism, Trump is too late.
I do not support the mess this country is now and believe that the MAGA revolution is the only way out of the cesspool. If 2026 goes to the Left, we are done ever becoming independent again.
Eff Swalwell, he is about as bad as they come. Shiff next.
I see hundreds of thousands of young American men who got to grow up, develop a career and skills, contribute those skills to socity, get married, have children, live a long life.
I have presented to you nations that have "benefited" from US intervention. Instead of positing inane questions that cannot be truly answered why don't you debate me on how US intervention has truly benefitted the nations I listed in my post? Do it. I dare you. I welcome being corrected if I am wrong. Don't turn a blind eye to the USA's failures and throw unquantifiable anecdotal mumbo jumbo at me. Tell me how the USA has benefitted all of those nations in my list.

"I see a world without freedoms we enjoy." Ha ha ha, that is a laughable statement. What freedoms? The ability to sit on your ass and watch the evening news or the ability to drive across state lines to buy a lottery ticket. Please.
Try not paying your property taxes and see how much "freedom" you truly enjoy. You don't own anything in the USA, Mad World. You aren't free. Not even close. So our women don't wear burkas, so what. If you can't own anything you are not free.
I noticed that you didn't bother to refute my comments on the nations I listed where the USA has screwed them over.
Case closed. You don't know what you are talking about. You also don't seem to care about the hundreds of thousands of young American males who never had a chance to grow up and live a life. Doesn't matter to you, does it. Those were someone else's sons and brothers.
Reading some of this anti-American rhetoric brings to mind the stark differences between Iran and the USA. Our 1st Amendment, in part, states that the government cannot "abridge the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
This American right was recently tried by the people of Iran, a country hell-bent on developing nuclear weapons, only to be met by the slaughter of 40,000 of their own citizens.
There's a reason 10,000,000 people across the world recently made the journey to come to America, in spite of past sins committed, and that's to have a chance to live in the greatest and most free country in the world.
Pretending that great powers can live forever peacefully in a world of fallen souls is naive and not borne out by history, and never will be.
You mean London or Londonistan? The Western Elite have betrayed their own people. Israel applauds. One rabbi said, Islam is the broom that will sweep Europe clean.
With no objection from their allies, Christian Orthodox Russia and Atheist China, Iran deported approximately 1.8 million illegals in 2025, mainly Afghan Muslims, a feat of a magnitude unmatched by any other country. After the next presidential election, if not after the midterms, they'll probably take up residence in the U.S. where they can vote, unlike in Iran. Perhaps the U.S should have used them to facilitate regime change in Iran.
I suspect their method which consists of "Leave now or we shoot you right here, right now" is much more effective than ours which involves domestic enemies demanding we provide hundreds of thousands in court hearings and public defenders borne by taxpayers per illegal with hearings spanning years while they stay here on welfare cranking out "anchor babies."
Genghis Khan’s invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire (1219–1221) devastated Persia, triggered by the execution of his trade envoys by Sultan Muhammad II. Mongol forces systematically destroyed cities like Bukhara and Samarkand, causing massive casualties and marking the beginning of Mongol rule in the region, which continued under his successors.
Causes of the ConflictInitial Intent: Genghis Khan initially sought trade relations with the powerful Khwarazmian Empire, sending a trade mission to establish diplomatic ties.The Otrar Incident (1218): Inalchuq, the governor of the Khwarazmian city of Otrar, seized a Mongol trade caravan and executed its members, suspecting them of spying.
The Vengeance Mission: After Sultan Muhammad II executed a subsequent diplomatic envoy from Genghis, the Mongol leader launched a massive punitive invasion of Persia in 1219.
Key Events in the ConquestStrategic Invasion (1219-1221): Genghis Khan divided his army, using his sons and commanders to attack on multiple fronts, targeting key cities along the Syr Darya River.
Destruction of Cities: Major urban centers, including Bukhara and Samarkand, were besieged, looted, and subjected to massive civilian massacres.
Targeting the Sultan: Mongol generals Jebe and Subutai were sent to hunt down Shah Muhammad II, who died fleeing in the Caspian Sea. Sack of Nishapur: The city of Nishapur, a major intellectual hub, was destroyed in 1221, resulting in the death of many, including the poet Attar of Nishapur.
Impact on PersiaMassive Depopulation: The invasion caused severe population loss, with some areas taking centuries to recover.Destruction of Infrastructure: Significant Persian infrastructure, including irrigation systems and Qanats (underground aqueducts), were destroyed.Rise of the Ilkhanate: Although Genghis Khan only conquered portions of Persia (primarily Khorasan) before his death in 1227, the campaign laid the groundwork for the later establishment of the Ilkhanate, a Mongol dynasty that ruled the region.
LegacyThe conquest is often described as a major disaster in Persian history, causing a significant shift in the region's cultural and political landscape. It was marked by extreme violence, as detailed in the accounts of the era.
The Mongols conquered China and much of India too. They crushed the Knights of Eastern Europe and probably would have taken us down as well, but the Horde was recalled to Mongolia after the Khan died. They stayed in Russia for centuries though.
There was no negotiating with them when they were at their full power. We think we are still at our full power, but we are not.
Mail-In Ballots are not needed for anyone. The military overseas have their own bases where they can vote just like in any town in America. If some of us can’t seem to figure out after two centuries that there’s an election every other November, they don’t deserve to vote.
Mail in ballots are a mark of the laziness and sloth of the American gimme class. It is also an indication of the breadth of corruptible voting that is available.
Yep you are correct JohnAZ. They make up every excuse as to why they can’t get to the poll to vote but never have a problem getting to the stores when the WIC & SNAP cards are loaded up for the month.
Most of those overseas military bases need to be closed and the troops brought home and put to work doing something that actually benefits the US taxpayers. You know, like patrolling the US borders, rebuilding infrastructure, finding and deporting terrorist cells. You know, actually protecting us from the enemy. God knows what they are still doing in Germany, Kuwait, Japan and South Korea. This would then eliminate much of the need for troops to do mail-in-ballots and benefit the American citizenry. I know. I am extreme and anti American. How dare I actually want to have my tax dollars benefit me and my fellow Americans directly. Shame on me. I'm going to go curl up into fetal position in the dark corner and suck my thumb.
I'd ask who really would want Europe, except it's being overrun by the migrant waves who don't assimilate. I don't see the current crop bringing anything of value, unlike what occurred in the 700's in Spain and elsewhere.
I too believe this. Russia went to the poorhouse trying to support East Europe and the Stan’s and want no part of that again. Europe is a bunch of gutless wonders that do not even stand up for themselves. America is getting into trouble deeper and deeper trying to follow Europe, like Obama’s ideal.
Ireland wants to be free, why not help the Irish? After that, England and the rest of the island. After that, take Greenland. NATO is just a joke. Israel expects us to attack Turkey next and Turkey is NATO.
If the United States saw what the United States is doing to the United States, would the United States invade the United States to free it from the United States ??
What is it doing? Money printing to fund all of these wars and military excursions. In the meantime our dollars in our savings account can buy less and less and less and less. Every war the US funds in behalf of Israel or anyone else serves only to enrich to upper elites and impoverish everyone else. They know this. They don't care. They keep doing it. They will keep doing it until we have nothing, own nothing and are mining through horse shit for fresh corn to eat.
Trump just said that we don't have the money for healthcare because we have wars to fight. He said the states can just raise taxes more to pay for healthcare.
Something has happened to Trump. He's not the pro-peace president he campaigned to be. Such is the case for every politician and yes, Trump is now a typical politician.
Well, he was headed to jail and then he took Adelson's money. You know the Adelson's I'm talking about? The ones who flew Jonathan Pollard back to Israel on a private jet to be greeted by a hero's welcome. Anyhow, they now own him and he has to do whatever they tell him to do. Much like our congress.
" It has only one purpose, to be made into bombs, and they’re not allowed to keep it." Says who, Israel? But Israel, who has never submitted to inspections, unlike Iran, is just fine with clandestine Nuke projects? Why did JFK adamantly refuse to give nuke tech to Israel? Funny how they got it after he was murdered. IMHO that was the casus belli for JFK's assassination.
My JFK theory: While I am no fan of JFK, I believe that JFK was killed by the CIA and the Mafia, and that LBJ was entangled in both. In the 1960 Presidential election, the Mafia-controlled Democrat Party machine in Illinois used voter fraud to deliver Illinois' electoral votes to JFK, which is what gave him the Electoral College majority. This was no surprise, JFK's father had underworld connections, going back to Prohibition.
The Mafia was deeply invested into pre-Communist Revolution Cuba (call Cuba Las Vegas I). Communist Castro kicked all private business out of Cuba, seizing their property, including the Mafia's. The Mafia and the CIA thus had a natural common interest--deposing the Communist regime. Of course, the Bay of Pigs and other shenanigans made a mess of that.
Worse yet for the Mafia, JFK's brother, Bobbie, as Attorney General, decided to go full-court press against organized crime. This, no doubt, enraged the Mafiosi. JFK also had misgivings about the intensifying conflict in Viet Nam, while LBJ and the CIA wanted to widen the war. The CIA also came to distrust JFK, so the decision was likely made that JFK had to go. Oswald--whether the actual shooter, one of the shooters, or just a patsy--had connections to the CIA. We will likely never know the full level of CIA and Mafia involvement in JFK's assassination, but what we do know is that Oswald's killer, Jack Ruby, was a low-level member of organized crime.
LBJ made certain that any CIA involvement in JFK's assassination was covered up. The Warren Commission that was supposedly tasked to investigate the assassination was, in reality, designed to cover up any CIA involvement and to protect what we now call the "Deep State." In my estimation, up until Obama and Biden, LBJ was the most corrupt, evil, destructive to the American Republic President in U.S. history. His legacy of the welfare state, deep government corruption, and seeding ground for Socialist policies unleashed the most vicious sustained attack on the American Republic by the Democrat Party that continues more and more vehemently and violently today.
As an interesting sidebar, a member of the Warren Commission was one Gerald Ford, later a U.S. President. More interesting, there is strong evidence that Richard Nixon's "scandal" was, in large part, a CIA-engineered operation, assisted by CIA operatives within Nixon's own inner circle. Interesting, too, that then Vice President Agnew's "scandal" and his resignation, was the convenient "installation" of Gerald Ford as VP, an outcome actually engineered by corrupt Democrats in the Senate (no doubt at the behest of the already LBJ-Democrat-dominated CIA) who conveniently stated, in no uncertain terms, that Gerald Ford was the ONLY VP nomination that they would vote to confirm. Thus, the "fix was in" that Gerald Ford would be the President when Nixon was sacked. That assured that Ford would be a weak, pliable, lame duck President until 1976, completely vulnerable for defeat by an even more "pliable" Jimmy Carter in the 1976 election.
No, Oswald did not kill Kennedy. Crossfire (can't remember author's name) is a good book about the assassination and how they did it. Years ago my husband and I visited an army buddy of his in Midlothian, and we took a trip to Dealey Plaza, and I stood on the grassy knoll and saw the chip in the concrete of the curb across the street where one of the shots from the fence missed and the chip flew up and cut a man's lip. They had the spots marked with yellow paint.
JDS....Jew Derangement Syndrome? Honestly, I don't know that many Jews. I've met a few in my life and they haven't just been regular joes trying to make their way in this world.
The one thing that I have noticed is that Jews comprise approximately 2% of the US population but they are disproportionately involved in government, business and own a vast majority of the wealth. This disproportionality can lead to uneven balances of power where the 2% exert greater control over the vast majority. Tyranny of the majority by the minority is never a good thing.
Do some research on how much of business and government is controlled, operated or owned by Jews. It is startling.
I've heard this before, the "disproportionate power" thing. If God favors his people with success in their endeavors, what is that to us? Why should we care so much about that?
Are you saying that the Jews are God's favored people? With a name like "Christian" I sure hope you aren't saying that.
"Why should we care so much about that?" Re-read my post. If a narrow segment of the population controls majority through financials, entertainment, advertising and government intervention, how is that a good thing?
I know you are much smarter than this, Kathy Christian. Please don't disappoint me.
Yes, Jews are God's favored people, because of Abraham's obedience in willing to sacrifice Isaac. Gentiles, when they believe in Jesus, are "grafted in." They become a part of the family through spiritual adoption. That's why the Bible says there is no longer Jew or gentile in Christ.
Okay, Kathy, I am going to offer you a bit of correction here and I hope you don't take offense. You have been deceived if you believe the Jews of today are God's only chosen people.
Abraham, the father of Judaism, Islam and Christianity was granted a covenant with God due to his righteousness and obedience to God in which God promised Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the "sands of the sea" and that through his descendants the people of the world would be greatly blessed.
Abraham had a son named Isaac. Isaac had a son named Jacob (name changed to Israel). Israel had 12 sons who ultimately became the patriarchs of vast tribes. Judah, Zebulun, Naphtali, Gad, Dan, Joseph, Levi, Ephraim to name a few.
Each of these tribes was given a portion of the promised land around Jerusalem for their inheritances.
In 700 BC the Assyrians invaded the northern kingdom of Israel (consisting of 10 tribes) and took them captive. The southern kingdom consisting primarily of Judah, but also had Benjamin and Levi, persisted for another two hundred years until they were taken captive by the Babylonians.
The 10 tribes taken by the Assyrians eventually migrated north and west after the fall of the Assyrian empire. These 10 tribes settled places like ancient Germania, Gaul, Britania, Scandinavia, the Baltics and possibly even Russia. These nations eventually rose to become the nations of the west. It is through these nations that the majority of our technological advances and constitutional governments and freedoms have come to the world, thus fulfilling God's covenant to Abraham.
The Jews as they exist today are not the same Jus that were taken captive by the Babylonians. For 200 years in Babylon they interbred with the people of Babylon, returned to Jerusalem which had become inhabited by other peoples in their absence. The tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi are all but gone having been bred out of existence.
The true chosen people are ALL of the House of Israel. All 13 tribes if you count Ruben who lost the birthright. Not just the Jews or the Tribe of Judah. God's covenant was with ALL of the House of Isreal. All 13 tribes.
The Jews today may have some lineage to Judah but they are not any more chosen that those of the tribes of Ephraim, Mannaseh, Gad, Dan or Simeon.
And yes, you are correct, anyone who chooses to abide by God's true law are adopted into the House of Israel and counted among his chosen people. Being a chosen people isn't because of birthright or blood but a willingness to live and abide by God's law.
Not JDS, its a recognition that Israel, the nation, is a rogue state, indiscriminately killing civilians to create terror and acquire territory. If you're ok with that, then consider yourself an enemy of humanity.
Leaflet bombing people a day before a bombing campaign is hardly genocide but if they force civilians to stand around areas they know are going to be blown up whose fault is that?
You know this is standard practice for the Islamofascists and it figures you support them.
I don’t get it. Name the times that Israel took land after being attacked by Arab and Iranian proxies.
Golan Heights, for protection, and a small portion of the West Bank. What have they given back trying to ameliorate the Islamists? Sinai, Gaza, southern Lebanon, over and over. They are definitely in the red regarding their supposed river to the sea program.
The Six Day War? They've been taking more and more of the West Bank in defiance of their UN charter. Now they're trying to take Lebanon south of the Litani river.
I wouldn’t blame them if they destroyed Hezbollah utterly. You are aware that the legitimate government of Lebanon and Israel are currently holding conciliary talks. You anti-Semites are going to hate it, but the Abraham Accords are going to be put in place and Israel is going to help their neighbors to tame the desert as they have in Israel.
Correct me if I'm wrong but is it not the case that in the Torah (especially in books like Genesis and Joshua), God promises the “Land of Israel” to the descendants of Abraham? And is it not the case that some interpret this as extending into Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Iraq?
Who is going to ignore what God has said?
None of the Abrahamic religions are big fans of unbelievers.
It appears that approximately 7% of Americans would skin someone alive if God told them to do it (i.e., they had a temporal lobe microseizure accompanied by a command hallucination and a delusion it was from God).
That is why Jesus's teachings, the words, not the man or myth or religion, are guide for a mind set that humans must fully internalize to exist on earth in peace. Love and forgive. Too many "Christian" preachers mix the OT with the NT and use their interpretation as justification for acts that do not follow His prescribed mindset.
Yeah, and at first, Zapruder wasn't going to go to the motorcade, and his secretary talked him into it. He'd just bought that 8-mm camera. His is the only film record we have of the assassination.
The Zapruder film was confiscated and edited during the post assassination investigation. There is a different version going around on different platforms. Some versions are clearer than others. The driver fires the kill shot, left handed with a gun made of some odd material. I probably saw at least one version of the film on Rumble.com.
I was on recruiting duty (Detroit) 1967-69 and distinctly remember what it was like to deal with the cowards who were trying every trick in the book to beat the draft.
Were you even born during the Draft days?
During college, Trump had the same "2-S" deferment as every other male student, between 18-26. It was automatic for any male enrolled in an accredited university, and renewed every year when the SCHOOL sent the names to the students' local draft board.
The individuals had NOTHING to do with getting or not getting a deferment.
After university, Trump got a "4-F" designation from the Army Doctor doing his Pre-Induction Physical (PIP).
4-F is a permanent designation, no "multiples", and no "deferments."
Plenty of Boomers truly "Dodged" the Draft, from both left and right.
"Newt" (The Lizard) Gingrich, when asked why he had multiple deferments until he was past the draft age (26): "What would I do in Vietnam, carry a pack and rifle?"
George W. Bush was an absolute DD. His father's and grandfather's influence got him that National Guard gig, when every Guard and Reserve unit in the country had waiting lists that were years long.
John Bolton? Same thing...slid into an NG unit.
Potatoe Qwayle? Yup
Rush? Ax me about him.
The list of so-called Conservatives is extensive, but dwarfed by the Lefties — who always did and continue to hate America first.
"They will be more than eager for trials, perhaps by military tribunals if the corrupt federal judiciary proves intractable.
This is the kind of thing we have to look forward to as 2026 keeps rolling out. But meanwhile, events might get even hotter over in Euroland. The joint is primed to blow. They’ve had enough jihad, too, and enough of the retarded political leadership that allowed it to be inflicted on the people of Europe. It’s already started. Ireland is about to go up in flames, a case of the government’s utter betrayal of the people. After Ireland, cue the United Kingdom. They’ve had enough of hostile Islam and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. It’s going to be a long, hot summer. They don’t call this the Fourth Turning for nothing."
Yes, yes, yes. The Left has no choice but to try and finish their Seditious Conspiracy (and Great Reset). And Trump (and Real Europe) has no choice but to fight them by all means at his disposal. This is WWIII.
The Irish need to reconstitute the IRA to rescue their nation from the sell-out by feckless politicians who have opened the borders on order of the EU to foreign invaders. Sure sounds like what was done here by China Joe and his band of leftist loons and Americans are still paying the price in deaths, injuries, and massive thefts. The British also need their own IRA-like force to fight for rights that are being taken away from natives, not invading foreigners . Then there is Canada and Australia, where iron curtains appear to be falling on the rights of citizens, with criminal trials and involuntary deaths in vogue, but again, only to natives of both countries.
Isn't it interesting that just maybe fifteen years ago, many folks were seriously investigating the possibility of packing up and moving to places like New Zealand and Australia, which seemed like paradise waiting to welcome us. Now these lands are run by totalitarians.
I almost moved to New Zealand. Glad I didn't. There really isn't anywhere left to go. The developed world is a totalitarian surveillance state, and the rest is uninhabitable for civilized people.
“Which will provoke Mr. Trump, in turn, to go full Abraham Lincoln and declare an insurgency requiring extraordinary executive powers to overcome the Left’s ploys.”
Is this a prediction, a warning, or a premise for an admonition - or perhaps all three?
President Lincoln was repeatedly referred to as a tyrant by the South and by more than a few Northerners. One imagines that things might have gone differently in 1861 had another Millard Fillmore or James Buchanan been elected. I am not convinced that such an outcome would have been better.
As you have pointed out, the existence of the nation is at stake - not theoretically, but quite literally. I would submit that this is not a matter open to question: the president must take the necessary steps to restore order as a matter of survival. Should he fail to do so, we will continue to slide into a morass of chaos and collapse. Such a circumstance would be marked by people relying on their most primordial instincts simply to preserve a semblance of what once was. It is imperative that we do not reach that point.
It is promoted by the Left as a way to provide a constant flow of socialistic invaders to push the vote in their direction. The biggest problem of the Left is the constant movement of people who succeed economically to the Right as they want to protect their wealth from the clutches of the Left.
Exactly right and, correct me if I am wrong, but the USA is the only nation on this Earth that permits this lunacy. Trump tried to stop this with an EO but EOs are as flimsy as the paper they are written on. Fucking insanity if you ask me. No nation interested in self preservation would permit this kind of lunacy. But hey, the USA does! Clusterfuck nation is spot on.
The weaker and fewer Whites are in terms of percentage, the stronger the Tribe is. That explain why they have always worked for mass immigration, helped by the greedy White businessmen and liberal wacko traitors.
If the ICE folks were allowed to do their job without interference by the Democrats trying to retain their illegal immigrants from Biden/Myorkas, they would clean this country out in no time. I will say to you again, though, Thant I would rather be fighting off the globalists overseas than here. Our lovely anarchist invaders are a good example.
@jameshowardkunstler I have heard others talk about the Fourth Turning and I read all of your columns. You briefly mention the Fourth Turning at times, and I seem to remember something more in depth awhile ago . Would you be willing to write a more detailed and updated piece on how the Fourth Turning will affect the future given current events?
There are different authors of books on the Fourth Turning. I have the updated version from Howe already that I haven’t read. I’m specifically interested in hearing what James has to say. I plan on reading Howe’s book too.
A quick statement. The Fourth Turnings are about 80 to a hundred years apart.
Now look back 80-100 years ago. 80 1946 100 1926. That was a pretty eruptive time, the Great Depression and WW2. Looking around, I would say we are in similar territory.
A quick summary would be to look at the aftermath of the one that took place in the late 1700's with the period between the French and Indian War and the French Revolution. The next was the US Civil War and Franco Prussian War. Next, WWII. Finally another 80 years on which is a rough average for First through Fourth Turnings, we arrive at today.
Essentially, the shit hits the fan nearly everywhere and millions get killed and borders change.
It's coming. We can all feel and sense it in our guts. The current system is collapsing or being over thrown in favor of something new and different. Everything is funded and created by debt that can never be repaid. Our wars are funded by the money printing presses which steals our wealth. Nations and cultures are disappearing because of rampant immigration. Change is coming. It might be good change. It might be bad change. Either way, our children will not live the same existence that we have lived.
It's the end of the world. I favor a creation timeline that spans 7000 years, the millennium period being 1000 years of "rest" for the world. This world died at the fall, for all intents and purposes.
Google it. There's plenty on line. The 4th Turning is real and we are heading for a major change. Doesn't mean it will be good change. Turnings can be good and they can be evil.
I'm hopeful that Ireland sparks the revolution in western civilization, but I'm not very confident. Their current "uprising" is over fuel prices, and not the systematic destruction of their culture from barbarian invaders.
If the cost of fuel is more important than protecting their sons and daughters, there is little chance that this will be nothing more than a flaccid protest.

I've seen a couple videos on instagram where the natives of Ireland are actually standing up for the invaders but also I've seen videos of IRA style dressed men claiming to raising up to put an end to it. Who knows??
Senator Thune, Senate Majority Leader of the Government Grift 💰is determined to keep their Grift 💵going even if the, “Thune” name replaces ole Benedict Arnold as our next 250 Yrs. Traitor and National Disgrace!
He has lots of company in the RINO, aka Deep State Senate. The problem in the Senate is the 61 vote filibuster rule, put in to make nothing sure passes the Senate except bipartisan trivia. Solid democrats, except Fetterman, and RINOs make sure nothing happens that Trump wants, not Thune. Better to aim at the real culprits. Add on Rand Paul.
And he will be paid handsomely for it and he will eventually end up on Fox News as a talking head contributor making millions. Why? Because we the people keep tuning into media outlets like Fox News. Go figure.
A rope and a lamppost? Perhaps? I'd take it even further. How do you solve a problem like Republicans? Elect Democrats? Watch, that is what Americans will do in November. Idiots.
Okay, totally sign up with you. My comments have been blaming what is happening with the American people and the Leftist leaning drift caused by the liberal leaning government for forty years.
I fear you may be right, Cankerpuss. People seem to love tyranny. I suppose because tyranny brings with it certain guarantees, and the bulk of the population wants a government that gives them guarantees. Think the Israelites wanting to return to Egypt and slavery because at least there they had the leeks and garlic.

Big med and big pharma own the Congress. Did you see the results of the VERY disgusting hearings headlining McCollough? I thought not. They crucified the Vaxx and no one cared.
“Ireland is about to go up in flames, a case of the government’s utter betrayal of the people. After Ireland, cue the United Kingdom. They’ve had enough of hostile Islam and Prime Minister Keir Starmer.”
But here’s the question: what are they going to fight with? Stupidly they willingly gave up their guns.
I'm anticipating the democrat party eliminating the second amendment once they assume total power. Most of our elected representatives don't believe in the constitution or the second amendment, anyway. None of the democrats do. It's just amazing to me how we can have a so-clearly Marxist political party in this country that is so hell bent on destroying it.
Ms. C-----and along with the demise of the 2nd Amendment, get ready for hate speech laws like they have in Europe so.......1st Amendment will also be gone. Christianity will be called a hateful religion and our gov't will bend its knee towards Islam---- you know that religion of peace, as Bush #2 explained it all to us after the muslims succeeded in killing several thousand New Yorkers.
The shame of it after Obama murdered Ghadaffis grand daughter instead of the real target Ghadaffi appeared to stop playing in the terror game and focused on making his country a better place.
He was murdered for it.
Right back into the mud went Egypt.
And then Obama turned his sights on the American people while also funding terrorism for a decade with the pallets of cash to Iran.
I tried explaining this to a brit who had been deployed to the six counties (eventually he left the UK for the US). I think after a while he began to understand.
Ben----please do not forget to include Hillary in the small group that murdered Mr. G just as he seemed to be dropping most of his radical thoughts. Hillary bragged about facilitating his murder.
Yes, his daughter wept as she explained how her father believed the empty promises of the West. He gave his reactors and they then used the savages to kill him.
Pew Research poll shows overwhelming majority of Americans disapprove of Israel and don’t trust them to do the right thing. That’s pretty damning and getting much worse as our young men come home in body bags for a Zionist land grab in Lebanon and genocide in Gaza.
In the early 80's and again in the early 90's, there was a call for another constitutional convention. I opposed it because the demographic makeup of our country and our corrupted institutions and politicians is now such that what we would get would essentially be The EU.
for years about Islam and the religious war being waged by the lunatic left. Remember, the Grand Mahalia of Iran was pals with Hitler. Time for the change.
Good heavens man, stop swallowing and regurgitating the rabid mainstream media propaganda!
Iran is *NOT* the main culprit here - not by a long shot. That distinction belongs to the Zionist machine and their allies (mainly Trump & Gang), all pushing for the "Greater Israel" agenda.
Really? Let's ask Hegseth what's going on. Or how about asking the high-ranking Generals in our military. Then there's FOX and similar. BTW, I don't "root" for evil - never have, never will. I don't care if that evil is "red, white and blue - evil is evil, wrong is wrong.
We need to knock Iran leadership out once and for all. It is clear that they speak Martian and every agreement we think we have is unintelligible to them. One of the features of Islam. Keep destroying the existing terrorist leadership until the rational people can seize power and reform the entire terrorist based country. Islam is the devil
It will never happen. Nature abhors a vacuum. We knock out the current regime and what replaces it? Why do you assume that the Iranian people, who have failed thus far to over throw the regime, will be able to assemble a better government structure? How many times has the USA intervened in foreign governments and had it result in a better government system. Let's see....
1. Korea. Both countries are still at war even though they aren't lobbing bombs across the armistice line.
2. Vietnam. Went in there, blew up a bunch of jungle, killed a lot of locals, lost a lot of American youth, departed with tails between legs. Communists won that one.
3. Iraq. Installed Saddam Hussein and ultimately betrayed him. Is Iraq now a bastion of freedom since American intervention?
4. Iran. The CIA helped overthrow the Shah. We know how that went. Hello Mr. Ayatollah!
5. Libya. Killed off Mr. Gaddafi and turned the country over to the warlord tribes. Libya, once touted as having highest human development index in all of Africa is now a chaotic shit hole. Well done USA!
6. Afghanistan. Spent 20 years there killing and maiming and in the end packed up our bags, left American citizens behind and left it all for the Taliban.
7. Syria. Still at war.
8. Somalia. Still at war and still a shit hole.
9. Ukraine. The Maiden revolution or coupe resulted in the current war that is killing millions and destroying what was once a quite, docile, milk-toast border land.
10. Venezuela. Abducted Maduro and replaced him with what? Is Venezuela any better? I have heard nothing.
Need I go on? There are others. Chile. Lebanon. Panama. Colombia. On and on and on. Name one country where the USA has intervened in their affairs and has left the place a better place? The battleship USA leaves a wide, dirty and smelly wake.
If the USA had a better track record of intervention I would agree with you, however, the USA's track record is horrible. The USA may regret the time they over threw the Ayatollahs, especially if something worse fills the void.
You have documented the stupidity of the US government over the last 50 years or so. It is why I root for Trump, the first anti-Deep State president we have had since Reagan and before him, DDE. I wish he had more success against the crud in DC, but he keeps on trying.
Where you are wrong is that the government is a reflection of the people, It is the population of the US that has changed, enabling the Deep State to take control. Where the people used to refuse charity, considering it demeaning to their independence, today we have possibly a majority of groveling dependent charity cases. Now that the Dems are having success at enfranchising this element, things are just getting worse.
It will be realized by historians that what led to the demise of the USA due to its debt was the ascent of the gimme class of Americans and invaders.
I think where you are saying I am wrong, JohnAZ is not correct. You are actually bolstering and strengthening my claim. I can't disagree with you because I whole heartedly agree with you.
When I support the USA it is because of the away it was about forty years ago, with Reagan, shutting down the USSR, bolstering the economy, shutting down inflation with Volker, being patriotic, anti-socialistic. The country has declined ever since, starting with Bush 1, and been going south ever since.
Until Trump, and he is having a really tough time dealing with the globalistic, socialist gimme country we have become. If the country has become addicted to socialism, Trump is too late.
I do not support the mess this country is now and believe that the MAGA revolution is the only way out of the cesspool. If 2026 goes to the Left, we are done ever becoming independent again.
Eff Swalwell, he is about as bad as they come. Shiff next.
Imagine the world without the USA. What do you see?
I see hundreds of thousands of young American men who got to grow up, develop a career and skills, contribute those skills to socity, get married, have children, live a long life.
I have presented to you nations that have "benefited" from US intervention. Instead of positing inane questions that cannot be truly answered why don't you debate me on how US intervention has truly benefitted the nations I listed in my post? Do it. I dare you. I welcome being corrected if I am wrong. Don't turn a blind eye to the USA's failures and throw unquantifiable anecdotal mumbo jumbo at me. Tell me how the USA has benefitted all of those nations in my list.
"The thing I wonder about the Dads and Moms
Who send their sons to the Vietnams
Will they really think their way of life
Has been protected as the next war comes?" -Jackson Browne
I see a world without freedoms we enjoy. I see the same scenes as in London, only in every major city. You don’t seem to discuss why USA “failed”.
"I see a world without freedoms we enjoy." Ha ha ha, that is a laughable statement. What freedoms? The ability to sit on your ass and watch the evening news or the ability to drive across state lines to buy a lottery ticket. Please.
Try not paying your property taxes and see how much "freedom" you truly enjoy. You don't own anything in the USA, Mad World. You aren't free. Not even close. So our women don't wear burkas, so what. If you can't own anything you are not free.
I noticed that you didn't bother to refute my comments on the nations I listed where the USA has screwed them over.
Case closed. You don't know what you are talking about. You also don't seem to care about the hundreds of thousands of young American males who never had a chance to grow up and live a life. Doesn't matter to you, does it. Those were someone else's sons and brothers.
I'm done with you. Not worth my time.
I know all of us are done with you.
Reading some of this anti-American rhetoric brings to mind the stark differences between Iran and the USA. Our 1st Amendment, in part, states that the government cannot "abridge the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
This American right was recently tried by the people of Iran, a country hell-bent on developing nuclear weapons, only to be met by the slaughter of 40,000 of their own citizens.
There's a reason 10,000,000 people across the world recently made the journey to come to America, in spite of past sins committed, and that's to have a chance to live in the greatest and most free country in the world.
Pretending that great powers can live forever peacefully in a world of fallen souls is naive and not borne out by history, and never will be.
You mean London or Londonistan? The Western Elite have betrayed their own people. Israel applauds. One rabbi said, Islam is the broom that will sweep Europe clean.
With no objection from their allies, Christian Orthodox Russia and Atheist China, Iran deported approximately 1.8 million illegals in 2025, mainly Afghan Muslims, a feat of a magnitude unmatched by any other country. After the next presidential election, if not after the midterms, they'll probably take up residence in the U.S. where they can vote, unlike in Iran. Perhaps the U.S should have used them to facilitate regime change in Iran.
I suspect their method which consists of "Leave now or we shoot you right here, right now" is much more effective than ours which involves domestic enemies demanding we provide hundreds of thousands in court hearings and public defenders borne by taxpayers per illegal with hearings spanning years while they stay here on welfare cranking out "anchor babies."
History shows the Persians, and by proxy the Iranians, are terrible at negotiations.
They have all but been wiped out several times in their history.
Ghengis Khan and Heluga Khan wiped out ancient Persia.
This was something Trump keyed into when he spoke of destroying their civilization.

Genghis Khan’s invasion of the Khwarazmian Empire (1219–1221) devastated Persia, triggered by the execution of his trade envoys by Sultan Muhammad II. Mongol forces systematically destroyed cities like Bukhara and Samarkand, causing massive casualties and marking the beginning of Mongol rule in the region, which continued under his successors.
Causes of the ConflictInitial Intent: Genghis Khan initially sought trade relations with the powerful Khwarazmian Empire, sending a trade mission to establish diplomatic ties.The Otrar Incident (1218): Inalchuq, the governor of the Khwarazmian city of Otrar, seized a Mongol trade caravan and executed its members, suspecting them of spying.
The Vengeance Mission: After Sultan Muhammad II executed a subsequent diplomatic envoy from Genghis, the Mongol leader launched a massive punitive invasion of Persia in 1219.
Key Events in the ConquestStrategic Invasion (1219-1221): Genghis Khan divided his army, using his sons and commanders to attack on multiple fronts, targeting key cities along the Syr Darya River.
Destruction of Cities: Major urban centers, including Bukhara and Samarkand, were besieged, looted, and subjected to massive civilian massacres.
Targeting the Sultan: Mongol generals Jebe and Subutai were sent to hunt down Shah Muhammad II, who died fleeing in the Caspian Sea. Sack of Nishapur: The city of Nishapur, a major intellectual hub, was destroyed in 1221, resulting in the death of many, including the poet Attar of Nishapur.
Impact on PersiaMassive Depopulation: The invasion caused severe population loss, with some areas taking centuries to recover.Destruction of Infrastructure: Significant Persian infrastructure, including irrigation systems and Qanats (underground aqueducts), were destroyed.Rise of the Ilkhanate: Although Genghis Khan only conquered portions of Persia (primarily Khorasan) before his death in 1227, the campaign laid the groundwork for the later establishment of the Ilkhanate, a Mongol dynasty that ruled the region.
LegacyThe conquest is often described as a major disaster in Persian history, causing a significant shift in the region's cultural and political landscape. It was marked by extreme violence, as detailed in the accounts of the era.
I want to enroll in your class.
Try ChatGPT.
While I am not against all AI I am not interested in helping chatgpt out by using it.
Thanks for the advice.
Have a good day sir.
Didn't the Spartans beat the shit out of the Persians before finally succumbing to their sheer numbers?
Where you been, Ben. I've missed your posts.
Morning, and yes, the glorious 300 fought off Xerxes long enough for the rest of Greece to respond, or so the story goes.
That one battle also created the marathon.
There are some really good books on the subject from Victor Davis Hanson.
A bit dry, but if you really like history, they are good reads.
The movie "300" is fantastic.
Yes, the runner from the battle of the Plain of Marathon, who ran 26 miles to announce the victory, and then died.
The Mongols conquered China and much of India too. They crushed the Knights of Eastern Europe and probably would have taken us down as well, but the Horde was recalled to Mongolia after the Khan died. They stayed in Russia for centuries though.
There was no negotiating with them when they were at their full power. We think we are still at our full power, but we are not.

Amen.
Mail-In Ballots are not needed for anyone. The military overseas have their own bases where they can vote just like in any town in America. If some of us can’t seem to figure out after two centuries that there’s an election every other November, they don’t deserve to vote.
Mail in ballots are a mark of the laziness and sloth of the American gimme class. It is also an indication of the breadth of corruptible voting that is available.
Yep you are correct JohnAZ. They make up every excuse as to why they can’t get to the poll to vote but never have a problem getting to the stores when the WIC & SNAP cards are loaded up for the month.
I like this one, JohnAZ.
You realize President Trump votes with a mail-in ballot, right?
Maybe because, like a lot of Americans, it’s difficult for him to get out of his work and his commuting and his day care obligations on Tuesdays.
No, it is probably due to requirements by the Secret Service. I would bet, though, his ballot is in by Election Day.
Your second statement is bull, people plan around dates, Election Day is the day to vote and people need to set that as first priority.
All that the Dems are trying to protect allows them to cheat especially in urban areas.
Most of those overseas military bases need to be closed and the troops brought home and put to work doing something that actually benefits the US taxpayers. You know, like patrolling the US borders, rebuilding infrastructure, finding and deporting terrorist cells. You know, actually protecting us from the enemy. God knows what they are still doing in Germany, Kuwait, Japan and South Korea. This would then eliminate much of the need for troops to do mail-in-ballots and benefit the American citizenry. I know. I am extreme and anti American. How dare I actually want to have my tax dollars benefit me and my fellow Americans directly. Shame on me. I'm going to go curl up into fetal position in the dark corner and suck my thumb.
For sure, all of Europe.
Close them down and blast them to rubble so the Eurotrash can't use them.
And bring all of those dollars the troops are spending in those places and let them spend them here at home, in the good ole USA.
Yep.
Ceding Europe to Russia is a bad move, but the Europeans are essentially useless.
I don't think Russia wants Europe.
I'd ask who really would want Europe, except it's being overrun by the migrant waves who don't assimilate. I don't see the current crop bringing anything of value, unlike what occurred in the 700's in Spain and elsewhere.
I too believe this. Russia went to the poorhouse trying to support East Europe and the Stan’s and want no part of that again. Europe is a bunch of gutless wonders that do not even stand up for themselves. America is getting into trouble deeper and deeper trying to follow Europe, like Obama’s ideal.
Ireland wants to be free, why not help the Irish? After that, England and the rest of the island. After that, take Greenland. NATO is just a joke. Israel expects us to attack Turkey next and Turkey is NATO.
Like our vote matters 😭
If the United States saw what the United States is doing to the United States, would the United States invade the United States to free it from the United States ??
You Smoking the Drapes this morning?
No, he is just drinking the bong water.
No, he is making a good point. The biggest enemies of America are domestic.
You are missing his point, he is speaking towards Israel or ZOG and not the surfboard wax.
He is just as Jim called it, to chickenshit to say it directly.
The United States sees what it is doing to the United States and it doesn't give a shit.
What is it doing? Money printing to fund all of these wars and military excursions. In the meantime our dollars in our savings account can buy less and less and less and less. Every war the US funds in behalf of Israel or anyone else serves only to enrich to upper elites and impoverish everyone else. They know this. They don't care. They keep doing it. They will keep doing it until we have nothing, own nothing and are mining through horse shit for fresh corn to eat.
Trump just said that we don't have the money for healthcare because we have wars to fight. He said the states can just raise taxes more to pay for healthcare.
Something has happened to Trump. He's not the pro-peace president he campaigned to be. Such is the case for every politician and yes, Trump is now a typical politician.
Well, he was headed to jail and then he took Adelson's money. You know the Adelson's I'm talking about? The ones who flew Jonathan Pollard back to Israel on a private jet to be greeted by a hero's welcome. Anyhow, they now own him and he has to do whatever they tell him to do. Much like our congress.
All his legal problems melted away like spring snow. Just coincidence!
Yeah, I don't know any of the stuff you are talking about. All I know is that Trump said one thing and he is now doing the other.
Yes-Through the powers vested in the Department of Redundancy Department.
No, unless the Israelis said otherwise...........
" It has only one purpose, to be made into bombs, and they’re not allowed to keep it." Says who, Israel? But Israel, who has never submitted to inspections, unlike Iran, is just fine with clandestine Nuke projects? Why did JFK adamantly refuse to give nuke tech to Israel? Funny how they got it after he was murdered. IMHO that was the casus belli for JFK's assassination.
LBJ killed JFK had nothing to do with Israel.
I don't know if LBJ killed (although he was mean enough) but noone with knowledge of ballistics believes that the incompetent idiot Oswald did.
My JFK theory: While I am no fan of JFK, I believe that JFK was killed by the CIA and the Mafia, and that LBJ was entangled in both. In the 1960 Presidential election, the Mafia-controlled Democrat Party machine in Illinois used voter fraud to deliver Illinois' electoral votes to JFK, which is what gave him the Electoral College majority. This was no surprise, JFK's father had underworld connections, going back to Prohibition.
The Mafia was deeply invested into pre-Communist Revolution Cuba (call Cuba Las Vegas I). Communist Castro kicked all private business out of Cuba, seizing their property, including the Mafia's. The Mafia and the CIA thus had a natural common interest--deposing the Communist regime. Of course, the Bay of Pigs and other shenanigans made a mess of that.
Worse yet for the Mafia, JFK's brother, Bobbie, as Attorney General, decided to go full-court press against organized crime. This, no doubt, enraged the Mafiosi. JFK also had misgivings about the intensifying conflict in Viet Nam, while LBJ and the CIA wanted to widen the war. The CIA also came to distrust JFK, so the decision was likely made that JFK had to go. Oswald--whether the actual shooter, one of the shooters, or just a patsy--had connections to the CIA. We will likely never know the full level of CIA and Mafia involvement in JFK's assassination, but what we do know is that Oswald's killer, Jack Ruby, was a low-level member of organized crime.
LBJ made certain that any CIA involvement in JFK's assassination was covered up. The Warren Commission that was supposedly tasked to investigate the assassination was, in reality, designed to cover up any CIA involvement and to protect what we now call the "Deep State." In my estimation, up until Obama and Biden, LBJ was the most corrupt, evil, destructive to the American Republic President in U.S. history. His legacy of the welfare state, deep government corruption, and seeding ground for Socialist policies unleashed the most vicious sustained attack on the American Republic by the Democrat Party that continues more and more vehemently and violently today.
As an interesting sidebar, a member of the Warren Commission was one Gerald Ford, later a U.S. President. More interesting, there is strong evidence that Richard Nixon's "scandal" was, in large part, a CIA-engineered operation, assisted by CIA operatives within Nixon's own inner circle. Interesting, too, that then Vice President Agnew's "scandal" and his resignation, was the convenient "installation" of Gerald Ford as VP, an outcome actually engineered by corrupt Democrats in the Senate (no doubt at the behest of the already LBJ-Democrat-dominated CIA) who conveniently stated, in no uncertain terms, that Gerald Ford was the ONLY VP nomination that they would vote to confirm. Thus, the "fix was in" that Gerald Ford would be the President when Nixon was sacked. That assured that Ford would be a weak, pliable, lame duck President until 1976, completely vulnerable for defeat by an even more "pliable" Jimmy Carter in the 1976 election.
LBJ's mistress had some interesting things to say about a meeting LBJ attended with some Texas businessmen a couple days before the assassination.
No, Oswald did not kill Kennedy. Crossfire (can't remember author's name) is a good book about the assassination and how they did it. Years ago my husband and I visited an army buddy of his in Midlothian, and we took a trip to Dealey Plaza, and I stood on the grassy knoll and saw the chip in the concrete of the curb across the street where one of the shots from the fence missed and the chip flew up and cut a man's lip. They had the spots marked with yellow paint.
Then explain his stand down order vis a vis the Liberty.
Egypt, it was all ABOUT using it to go after Egypt.
D'uh.
Oh okay so that makes it all right, a justifiable sacrifice. Got it.
Did I say that or are you just obtuse?
LBJ was a nasty pos.
We should have declared war on Israel for that. If we had put a limit on their arrogance, we might not be where we are today.
So if one doesn’t make oneself clear we resort to name calling?
Head in sand, you have.
Head up ass you have and you are not yoda.
Tired of the JDS. Everybody is nucking futs these days.
So many connecting dots that don't exist.
Israel is a tiny player in the game of nations, but somehow, they are a convenient scapegoat.
If they actually had any real power, this narrative would not exist, and people spewing it would disappear.
At times, I am pretty much in favor of the last part of your last sentence.
JDS....Jew Derangement Syndrome? Honestly, I don't know that many Jews. I've met a few in my life and they haven't just been regular joes trying to make their way in this world.
The one thing that I have noticed is that Jews comprise approximately 2% of the US population but they are disproportionately involved in government, business and own a vast majority of the wealth. This disproportionality can lead to uneven balances of power where the 2% exert greater control over the vast majority. Tyranny of the majority by the minority is never a good thing.
Do some research on how much of business and government is controlled, operated or owned by Jews. It is startling.
I've heard this before, the "disproportionate power" thing. If God favors his people with success in their endeavors, what is that to us? Why should we care so much about that?
Are you saying that the Jews are God's favored people? With a name like "Christian" I sure hope you aren't saying that.
"Why should we care so much about that?" Re-read my post. If a narrow segment of the population controls majority through financials, entertainment, advertising and government intervention, how is that a good thing?
I know you are much smarter than this, Kathy Christian. Please don't disappoint me.
Yes, Jews are God's favored people, because of Abraham's obedience in willing to sacrifice Isaac. Gentiles, when they believe in Jesus, are "grafted in." They become a part of the family through spiritual adoption. That's why the Bible says there is no longer Jew or gentile in Christ.
Okay, Kathy, I am going to offer you a bit of correction here and I hope you don't take offense. You have been deceived if you believe the Jews of today are God's only chosen people.
Abraham, the father of Judaism, Islam and Christianity was granted a covenant with God due to his righteousness and obedience to God in which God promised Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the "sands of the sea" and that through his descendants the people of the world would be greatly blessed.
Abraham had a son named Isaac. Isaac had a son named Jacob (name changed to Israel). Israel had 12 sons who ultimately became the patriarchs of vast tribes. Judah, Zebulun, Naphtali, Gad, Dan, Joseph, Levi, Ephraim to name a few.
Each of these tribes was given a portion of the promised land around Jerusalem for their inheritances.
In 700 BC the Assyrians invaded the northern kingdom of Israel (consisting of 10 tribes) and took them captive. The southern kingdom consisting primarily of Judah, but also had Benjamin and Levi, persisted for another two hundred years until they were taken captive by the Babylonians.
The 10 tribes taken by the Assyrians eventually migrated north and west after the fall of the Assyrian empire. These 10 tribes settled places like ancient Germania, Gaul, Britania, Scandinavia, the Baltics and possibly even Russia. These nations eventually rose to become the nations of the west. It is through these nations that the majority of our technological advances and constitutional governments and freedoms have come to the world, thus fulfilling God's covenant to Abraham.
The Jews as they exist today are not the same Jus that were taken captive by the Babylonians. For 200 years in Babylon they interbred with the people of Babylon, returned to Jerusalem which had become inhabited by other peoples in their absence. The tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi are all but gone having been bred out of existence.
The true chosen people are ALL of the House of Israel. All 13 tribes if you count Ruben who lost the birthright. Not just the Jews or the Tribe of Judah. God's covenant was with ALL of the House of Isreal. All 13 tribes.
The Jews today may have some lineage to Judah but they are not any more chosen that those of the tribes of Ephraim, Mannaseh, Gad, Dan or Simeon.
And yes, you are correct, anyone who chooses to abide by God's true law are adopted into the House of Israel and counted among his chosen people. Being a chosen people isn't because of birthright or blood but a willingness to live and abide by God's law.
No, that doesn't excuse their wrongdoing, any more than it does ours. No, it doesn't make them "better" people.
There are many righteous people. God doesn't give them thousands of square miles.
Perhaps you're being "sarcastic" and I missed it?
Buckle up, Beth. This isn’t over by a long shot.
Not JDS, its a recognition that Israel, the nation, is a rogue state, indiscriminately killing civilians to create terror and acquire territory. If you're ok with that, then consider yourself an enemy of humanity.
Your opinion is your own, and you are entitled to it, but not your own set of propagandized facts.
You're looking in the wrong spots, the wrong people, and the wrong set of massaged narratives for the enemy of humanity, making you a useful idiot.
You know we saw them massacre Gazans in real time?
You know that, right?
LOL.
Leaflet bombing people a day before a bombing campaign is hardly genocide but if they force civilians to stand around areas they know are going to be blown up whose fault is that?
You know this is standard practice for the Islamofascists and it figures you support them.
LOL how very German of you!
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/apr/07/iran-young-people-human-chains-power-plants-donald-trump-deadline-looms
History is full of Iran demanding their young people find bombs and mines.
You should go over there and help them.
Meanwhile in crazyland, you support them murdering every person in Israel...come on, admit it.
That is, after all, the stated goal of the other side.
I don’t get it. Name the times that Israel took land after being attacked by Arab and Iranian proxies.
Golan Heights, for protection, and a small portion of the West Bank. What have they given back trying to ameliorate the Islamists? Sinai, Gaza, southern Lebanon, over and over. They are definitely in the red regarding their supposed river to the sea program.
The Six Day War? They've been taking more and more of the West Bank in defiance of their UN charter. Now they're trying to take Lebanon south of the Litani river.
So you're wrong.
You do not know that, wait and see.
I wouldn’t blame them if they destroyed Hezbollah utterly. You are aware that the legitimate government of Lebanon and Israel are currently holding conciliary talks. You anti-Semites are going to hate it, but the Abraham Accords are going to be put in place and Israel is going to help their neighbors to tame the desert as they have in Israel.
What does reality and truth have to do with anything?
It has nothing to do with Al Taqiyya the job of furthering Islam.
Fixed it since Lugh is obtuse.
Thank you for finally admitting you don't care about the Truth. It's just something to be used when convenient, the rest of the time to be ignored.
The idea that YOU speak the Truth is a celestial joke.
Says the imbecile that spews forth lie after lie.
Nice spin job by the way.
You can't with fanatics.
They care nothing for facts and have only their hatred to drive them.
But it is fun to jerk their crazy chain once in a while.
Correct me if I'm wrong but is it not the case that in the Torah (especially in books like Genesis and Joshua), God promises the “Land of Israel” to the descendants of Abraham? And is it not the case that some interpret this as extending into Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Iraq?
Who is going to ignore what God has said?
None of the Abrahamic religions are big fans of unbelievers.
It appears that approximately 7% of Americans would skin someone alive if God told them to do it (i.e., they had a temporal lobe microseizure accompanied by a command hallucination and a delusion it was from God).
That is why Jesus's teachings, the words, not the man or myth or religion, are guide for a mind set that humans must fully internalize to exist on earth in peace. Love and forgive. Too many "Christian" preachers mix the OT with the NT and use their interpretation as justification for acts that do not follow His prescribed mindset.
Are you part Jewish? You don't have to identify with that. Even many full blooded Jews hate Israel.
Yep
Yeah, and at first, Zapruder wasn't going to go to the motorcade, and his secretary talked him into it. He'd just bought that 8-mm camera. His is the only film record we have of the assassination.
...that we know of.
The Zapruder film was confiscated and edited during the post assassination investigation. There is a different version going around on different platforms. Some versions are clearer than others. The driver fires the kill shot, left handed with a gun made of some odd material. I probably saw at least one version of the film on Rumble.com.
"The Zapruder film was confiscated and...".
Just as was JFK's brain.
Removed at Memorial, never to be seen again.
Kunstler has such a great way of activating all of you Whiny Assed Cowards (WAC's), with seemingly effortless ease.
I love the smell of WAC's melting down in the morning.
Way on the plus side, Israel is over there kicking ass and taking names.
Trump and Israel...two entities who know how to win.
Yeah, we’re not brave bastards like Trump, who enjoyed multiple draft deferments for his “bone spurs”.
Baron Trump is now hoping they’re hereditary.
Your ignorance is showing.
I was on recruiting duty (Detroit) 1967-69 and distinctly remember what it was like to deal with the cowards who were trying every trick in the book to beat the draft.
Were you even born during the Draft days?
During college, Trump had the same "2-S" deferment as every other male student, between 18-26. It was automatic for any male enrolled in an accredited university, and renewed every year when the SCHOOL sent the names to the students' local draft board.
The individuals had NOTHING to do with getting or not getting a deferment.
After university, Trump got a "4-F" designation from the Army Doctor doing his Pre-Induction Physical (PIP).
4-F is a permanent designation, no "multiples", and no "deferments."
Plenty of Boomers truly "Dodged" the Draft, from both left and right.
"Newt" (The Lizard) Gingrich, when asked why he had multiple deferments until he was past the draft age (26): "What would I do in Vietnam, carry a pack and rifle?"
George W. Bush was an absolute DD. His father's and grandfather's influence got him that National Guard gig, when every Guard and Reserve unit in the country had waiting lists that were years long.
John Bolton? Same thing...slid into an NG unit.
Potatoe Qwayle? Yup
Rush? Ax me about him.
The list of so-called Conservatives is extensive, but dwarfed by the Lefties — who always did and continue to hate America first.
Is this the new MAGA? Pro quaxxine, war, and ISIS?

"They will be more than eager for trials, perhaps by military tribunals if the corrupt federal judiciary proves intractable.
This is the kind of thing we have to look forward to as 2026 keeps rolling out. But meanwhile, events might get even hotter over in Euroland. The joint is primed to blow. They’ve had enough jihad, too, and enough of the retarded political leadership that allowed it to be inflicted on the people of Europe. It’s already started. Ireland is about to go up in flames, a case of the government’s utter betrayal of the people. After Ireland, cue the United Kingdom. They’ve had enough of hostile Islam and Prime Minister Keir Starmer. It’s going to be a long, hot summer. They don’t call this the Fourth Turning for nothing."
Yes, yes, yes. The Left has no choice but to try and finish their Seditious Conspiracy (and Great Reset). And Trump (and Real Europe) has no choice but to fight them by all means at his disposal. This is WWIII.
The Irish need to reconstitute the IRA to rescue their nation from the sell-out by feckless politicians who have opened the borders on order of the EU to foreign invaders. Sure sounds like what was done here by China Joe and his band of leftist loons and Americans are still paying the price in deaths, injuries, and massive thefts. The British also need their own IRA-like force to fight for rights that are being taken away from natives, not invading foreigners . Then there is Canada and Australia, where iron curtains appear to be falling on the rights of citizens, with criminal trials and involuntary deaths in vogue, but again, only to natives of both countries.
Isn't it interesting that just maybe fifteen years ago, many folks were seriously investigating the possibility of packing up and moving to places like New Zealand and Australia, which seemed like paradise waiting to welcome us. Now these lands are run by totalitarians.
Male bovine excrement, Ted.
Have you ever lived in the Antipodes?
I also looked into moving there. Could have been wonderful. I am told it is now quite a dystopia, run by haridans. What do you think?
He doesn't think.
Just read his comments, they are full of bullshit and hubris.
I almost moved to New Zealand. Glad I didn't. There really isn't anywhere left to go. The developed world is a totalitarian surveillance state, and the rest is uninhabitable for civilized people.
There is always Iran.
I am sure they would love to put you in front of a power plant or drone-fabricating plant.
Or Russia, the last bastion of Caucasian Europe.
They really have attained serious industrial capacity, haven't they? And their take down of Israel's main air base was pure genius.
No, not really, they can't fabricate most of the stuff they are using.
You really do carry the Iranian propaganda water.
Are you familiar with Clann Éireann and the internal disputes of recent years?
At this point the populace is shutting down the country.
Yes, economic war. Part of it will be CW2.
“Which will provoke Mr. Trump, in turn, to go full Abraham Lincoln and declare an insurgency requiring extraordinary executive powers to overcome the Left’s ploys.”
Is this a prediction, a warning, or a premise for an admonition - or perhaps all three?
President Lincoln was repeatedly referred to as a tyrant by the South and by more than a few Northerners. One imagines that things might have gone differently in 1861 had another Millard Fillmore or James Buchanan been elected. I am not convinced that such an outcome would have been better.
As you have pointed out, the existence of the nation is at stake - not theoretically, but quite literally. I would submit that this is not a matter open to question: the president must take the necessary steps to restore order as a matter of survival. Should he fail to do so, we will continue to slide into a morass of chaos and collapse. Such a circumstance would be marked by people relying on their most primordial instincts simply to preserve a semblance of what once was. It is imperative that we do not reach that point.
Military is the only way.
Unrestrictive deportation of illegals would go a long way.
And getting rid of the birthright citizenship amendment.
At least change that to one parent must be an American citizen.
Showing up and dropping a kid here and then claiming citizenship is ludicrous.
It is promoted by the Left as a way to provide a constant flow of socialistic invaders to push the vote in their direction. The biggest problem of the Left is the constant movement of people who succeed economically to the Right as they want to protect their wealth from the clutches of the Left.
Exactly right and, correct me if I am wrong, but the USA is the only nation on this Earth that permits this lunacy. Trump tried to stop this with an EO but EOs are as flimsy as the paper they are written on. Fucking insanity if you ask me. No nation interested in self preservation would permit this kind of lunacy. But hey, the USA does! Clusterfuck nation is spot on.
The weaker and fewer Whites are in terms of percentage, the stronger the Tribe is. That explain why they have always worked for mass immigration, helped by the greedy White businessmen and liberal wacko traitors.
On a global scale, white people are a vast minority and an endangered species.
Amen, amen, amen. Get the troops home and put them to work getting the interlopers out of there!
If the ICE folks were allowed to do their job without interference by the Democrats trying to retain their illegal immigrants from Biden/Myorkas, they would clean this country out in no time. I will say to you again, though, Thant I would rather be fighting off the globalists overseas than here. Our lovely anarchist invaders are a good example.
I am well aware of your love of war, death and destruction, JohnAZ. War is great for you as long as people are dying "over there."
I agree with you 100% on ICE. No argument from me on that one.
@jameshowardkunstler I have heard others talk about the Fourth Turning and I read all of your columns. You briefly mention the Fourth Turning at times, and I seem to remember something more in depth awhile ago . Would you be willing to write a more detailed and updated piece on how the Fourth Turning will affect the future given current events?
You could of course just read the book, “The Fourth Turning” by Strauss & Howe circa 1997.
There are different authors of books on the Fourth Turning. I have the updated version from Howe already that I haven’t read. I’m specifically interested in hearing what James has to say. I plan on reading Howe’s book too.
A quick statement. The Fourth Turnings are about 80 to a hundred years apart.
Now look back 80-100 years ago. 80 1946 100 1926. That was a pretty eruptive time, the Great Depression and WW2. Looking around, I would say we are in similar territory.
Going to say a little earlier in the time frame, more like 1912- 1919
It's all cycles, which can be applied to many situations.
A quick summary would be to look at the aftermath of the one that took place in the late 1700's with the period between the French and Indian War and the French Revolution. The next was the US Civil War and Franco Prussian War. Next, WWII. Finally another 80 years on which is a rough average for First through Fourth Turnings, we arrive at today.
Essentially, the shit hits the fan nearly everywhere and millions get killed and borders change.
It's coming. We can all feel and sense it in our guts. The current system is collapsing or being over thrown in favor of something new and different. Everything is funded and created by debt that can never be repaid. Our wars are funded by the money printing presses which steals our wealth. Nations and cultures are disappearing because of rampant immigration. Change is coming. It might be good change. It might be bad change. Either way, our children will not live the same existence that we have lived.
It's the end of the world. I favor a creation timeline that spans 7000 years, the millennium period being 1000 years of "rest" for the world. This world died at the fall, for all intents and purposes.
Yup.
That’s an accurate, yet grim assessment. Scary for the future.
Google it. There's plenty on line. The 4th Turning is real and we are heading for a major change. Doesn't mean it will be good change. Turnings can be good and they can be evil.
I'm hopeful that Ireland sparks the revolution in western civilization, but I'm not very confident. Their current "uprising" is over fuel prices, and not the systematic destruction of their culture from barbarian invaders.
If the cost of fuel is more important than protecting their sons and daughters, there is little chance that this will be nothing more than a flaccid protest.
Well, as Confucius said, "Polar bear fart at North Pole, cause big wind in Chicago."
"Man who go to bed with itchy bum, wake up with stinky fingers." -CP's Old Man.
My Dad used to use that one on me in my youth when I was acting like an idiot. He always quoted that as an ancient Chinese proverb but never substantiated that claim. Your polar bear fart quote made me laugh and reminded me of my old man. God I miss him.
Thank you. I totally ripped it off from Philip José Farmer.
I'm glad you have warm memories of you pop.
All things by immortal power Near or far Hiddenly To each other linked are That thou canst not stir a flower Without troubling a star. --Francis Thompson
Hopefully the Irish anger about fuel prices morphs into a hysterical fury against every foreigner in the country, including the Brits.
They’re pretty Freaking Pissed!
I've seen a couple videos on instagram where the natives of Ireland are actually standing up for the invaders but also I've seen videos of IRA style dressed men claiming to raising up to put an end to it. Who knows??
Clusterfuck Nation at its finest. Thank you
Jim hasn’t lost a step.
Perhaps not, in terms of his writing skill.
But he’s clearly losing his critical thinking skills.
How do you solve a problem like John Thune? 🎶
Senator Thune, Senate Majority Leader of the Government Grift 💰is determined to keep their Grift 💵going even if the, “Thune” name replaces ole Benedict Arnold as our next 250 Yrs. Traitor and National Disgrace!
He has lots of company in the RINO, aka Deep State Senate. The problem in the Senate is the 61 vote filibuster rule, put in to make nothing sure passes the Senate except bipartisan trivia. Solid democrats, except Fetterman, and RINOs make sure nothing happens that Trump wants, not Thune. Better to aim at the real culprits. Add on Rand Paul.
Fetterman still votes with Democrats while talking like a moderate.
Not on everything, Ben. He supports Trump with Iran/Israel.
And he will be paid handsomely for it and he will eventually end up on Fox News as a talking head contributor making millions. Why? Because we the people keep tuning into media outlets like Fox News. Go figure.
A rope and a lamppost? Perhaps? I'd take it even further. How do you solve a problem like Republicans? Elect Democrats? Watch, that is what Americans will do in November. Idiots.
Elect democrats? Elect insanity, six of one, half dozen of the other.
I'm not saying its the right thing to do, JohnAZ, I'm saying that this is how the average American voter thinks and is exactly what they will do.
Okay, totally sign up with you. My comments have been blaming what is happening with the American people and the Leftist leaning drift caused by the liberal leaning government for forty years.
I fear you may be right, Cankerpuss. People seem to love tyranny. I suppose because tyranny brings with it certain guarantees, and the bulk of the population wants a government that gives them guarantees. Think the Israelites wanting to return to Egypt and slavery because at least there they had the leeks and garlic.
Cradle to grave, Kathy, cradle to grave.
The senses are like wild horses leading our chariot to wreck and ruin.
Thune took over $1 million, on the books, from his masters.
Senator John Thune has a massive campaign war chest, holding over $20 million as of mid-2024, supported by significant contributions from industries like insurance, health, and real estate, alongside leadership PAC funding. He supports Republican candidates through the 2024 Thune Republican Senate Victory PAC and utilizes the "New Heights Action" super PAC for broader party support.Key Campaign Finance Details (2023-2024 Cycle):Total Raised (Committee): Over \(\$3\) million in individual contributions as of Q3 2025.Top Industries (2024): Lobbyists, Insurance, Pharmaceuticals/Health Products, and Real Estate.Top Contributors (2024 Joint Fundraiser): Saber Healthcare Group, Anduril Industries, and Mickelson & Co.Leadership PAC: His "Heartland Values PAC" raises funds for other GOP candidates.Key Donors and Support (Career/Recent):Top Career Contributors: Sanford Health, Club for Growth, and Capital Group Companies.Super PAC Action: His super PAC, New Heights Action, raised \(\$4.7\) million in Q3 2024, directing funds to the Senate Leadership Fund, and candidates in Michigan and Wisconsin.Funding Sources: Roughly \(38\%\) of funds come from large individual contributions, with significant PAC contributions
Yes big Pharma owns his ass.
Big med and big pharma own the Congress. Did you see the results of the VERY disgusting hearings headlining McCollough? I thought not. They crucified the Vaxx and no one cared.
20 million war chest?? That shit needs to be taxed.
Note who did not make the list of donors.
The Tribe is heavily invested in Pharma. Sorry!
Yes, you are very sorry, thanks for that admission.
Downright pathetic carrying barbarians water.
Israel-AIPC??
“Ireland is about to go up in flames, a case of the government’s utter betrayal of the people. After Ireland, cue the United Kingdom. They’ve had enough of hostile Islam and Prime Minister Keir Starmer.”
But here’s the question: what are they going to fight with? Stupidly they willingly gave up their guns.
You. Never. Give. Up. Your. Guns.
Ever.
I'm anticipating the democrat party eliminating the second amendment once they assume total power. Most of our elected representatives don't believe in the constitution or the second amendment, anyway. None of the democrats do. It's just amazing to me how we can have a so-clearly Marxist political party in this country that is so hell bent on destroying it.
That’s casus belli for civil war right there. I wouldn’t comply nor many gun owners.
“From my cold, dead hands.”
Ms. C-----and along with the demise of the 2nd Amendment, get ready for hate speech laws like they have in Europe so.......1st Amendment will also be gone. Christianity will be called a hateful religion and our gov't will bend its knee towards Islam---- you know that religion of peace, as Bush #2 explained it all to us after the muslims succeeded in killing several thousand New Yorkers.
We should probably all start building attack drones too.
Gaddafi used to ship arms to the IRA. He's a hero to all those of Irish heritage. I wonder if they could find a similar benefactor today.
The shame of it after Obama murdered Ghadaffis grand daughter instead of the real target Ghadaffi appeared to stop playing in the terror game and focused on making his country a better place.
He was murdered for it.
Right back into the mud went Egypt.
And then Obama turned his sights on the American people while also funding terrorism for a decade with the pallets of cash to Iran.
The IRA wasn't/isn't a terrorist group. Their land was and is occupied.
Sure, they were.
One person's freedom fighter is another's terrorist.
I however, understand why they did what they did.
England is fucked.
Attempting to rid your nation of a foreign occupier is terrorism?
Read my post very carefully.
I tried explaining this to a brit who had been deployed to the six counties (eventually he left the UK for the US). I think after a while he began to understand.
EVERYTHING is fucked as far as you are concerned, Ben.
Especially you DENNIS.
How's that blood pressure?
Mine was 126/68 the other day!
Ben----please do not forget to include Hillary in the small group that murdered Mr. G just as he seemed to be dropping most of his radical thoughts. Hillary bragged about facilitating his murder.
Yes, his daughter wept as she explained how her father believed the empty promises of the West. He gave his reactors and they then used the savages to kill him.
You are correct, James. So are the wonderful ladies at prometheanaction.com. Check out Susan's latest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbiN0RCQPIs
Britain(and the West) created and marinaded the situation in Iran.
Excellent! I wish all people could see this video👆🏼 to get an understanding of the whole picture.
Instead of allowing politicians to decide on election reform, how about holding a nation-wide referendum? Let the People speak!
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/04/07/negative-views-of-israel-netanyahu-continue-to-rise-among-americans-especially-young-people/
Pew Research poll shows overwhelming majority of Americans disapprove of Israel and don’t trust them to do the right thing. That’s pretty damning and getting much worse as our young men come home in body bags for a Zionist land grab in Lebanon and genocide in Gaza.
Slop
Yeah, that'll work.
Gwyneth was talking about election reform.
Surely you jest!
And 100 million illegals get to weigh in on whether the grift should stop?
On this we agree 100% roll them up and dump them all off in the nearest border.
Preferably Canada.
Please! No!
You already have idiots like Phil Denter and the weirdo strange bedfellow it can't get any worse.
Who is Phil Denter? The name doesn't come up in search.
He finally said the wrong thing and got bounced a couple of weeks ago.
In the early 80's and again in the early 90's, there was a call for another constitutional convention. I opposed it because the demographic makeup of our country and our corrupted institutions and politicians is now such that what we would get would essentially be The EU.
The con con means war war.
I have been ranting and raving
for years about Islam and the religious war being waged by the lunatic left. Remember, the Grand Mahalia of Iran was pals with Hitler. Time for the change.
Good heavens man, stop swallowing and regurgitating the rabid mainstream media propaganda!
Iran is *NOT* the main culprit here - not by a long shot. That distinction belongs to the Zionist machine and their allies (mainly Trump & Gang), all pushing for the "Greater Israel" agenda.
More screeching cat-lady effluvium, spewed forth.
Are you watching the same media I do? They are rooting for Iran, just like you.
Really? Let's ask Hegseth what's going on. Or how about asking the high-ranking Generals in our military. Then there's FOX and similar. BTW, I don't "root" for evil - never have, never will. I don't care if that evil is "red, white and blue - evil is evil, wrong is wrong.
