We agree on A LOT, JohnAZ. You and I just disagree, strongly, on war. I hate war, killing, death and destruction and believe the USA has NOT the right to inflict death and destruction on other nations. You, on the other hand love war, killing, death and destruction and believe the USA HAS the right to inflict death and destruction on other nations.
Four of my brothers and I are US military (Army, Navy, Marines) veterans and we oppose the unjust war with Iran and Zionist’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Nearly all the people in favor of war are chicken-hawks who never served in the military but are only too happy to send some poor goy Christians to go get killed. Zionist Epstein class controls Trump and both parties; US taxpayers send hundreds of billions to Israel and the Epsteins return millions to the politicians in donations. Scam for the ages and its middle class Christian Americans paying for it and getting killed now too.
You are no Veteran and neither are your imaginary brothers.
Any Veteran serving in the past 30 years knows full well that the muslims are the cause the on-going wars, and the only way to stop them is to kill them before they kill us.
I have not served in the military. From a young age I never had any desired to join the military and then be sent to Iraq to have my legs blown off or be killed hanging around in a shit hole nation that doesn't want me there, doesn't need me there and isn't grateful for my ultimate sacrifice. For this reason I stayed out and have encouraged my children to stay out. My heart aches for our soldiers who go out to these places and give the ultimate sacrifice for absolutely nothing (see Afghanistan). Soldiers are pawns, cogs in the gears of the military / industrial complex (see Vietnam). It's too bad that more of them don't realize this, lay down their arms, and refuse to do this bull shit.
Why the hatred and the anger, you cranky old Fart. Good Lord. You are one pissed off old dude. How do you sleep at night? You must lay awake in fear that those pesky muslims are going to come chop your head off.
There’s a reason Iran is the world’s largest exporter of terrorism. USA is prepared and able to do whatever is necessary to demolish Iran’s capabilities to use terror. Top of the list are its nuclear bomb ambitions. To paraphrase Mullahs the world “Death to Iran.”
"Iran is the world’s largest exporter of terrorism"
And who created the current Iran that the USA is dealing with? Did not the USA have involvement in the over throw of the Shah of Iran that led the way to the Ayatollahs and the mullahs? Was Iran a purveyor of terrorism during and before the Shah?
Who created Al-Quaeda? Who installed Sadam Hussein?
The USA, via its CIA has its dirty tentacles in all of the dirt throughout the world. Don't be naive and deny this. You know its true. The USA creates the problem in the first place and then goes to war to end the problem.
It's a nice sunny day here in the Northeast, the many feet of snow departing, early blooming crocus ,daffodil and others are adding their color to the landscape emerging from the drab colors of winter.
I hear their olives are pretty good. Other than that I can't readily identify what Israel produces that directly benefits the USA, at least the citizens of the USA. I do know that Pornhub is owned and operated by Jews. Does that make Israel a prolific producer of porn? Americans absolutely love their pornography so there you go!
I don't care to engage you because we will never change each other's minds. I do, however, wish you well and hope that you get that piece of rural land you have been eying up.
Indeed. 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.
Wikipedia: “ “By way of deception thou shalt do war" is a phrase derived from Proverbs 24:6, which emphasizes the importance of strategy and wise planning in warfare. It has been adopted as a motto by the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, reflecting the need for careful navigation and intelligence in military operations.”
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
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."
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
" 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
"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.
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??
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
"Their theology of jihad contains a permission structure for lying to their enemies to accomplish their aim"
Meanwhile in Israel...
MOSSAD's Credo: "By way of deception thou shalt do war"
No doubt. That Hamas pager kablooey is one of the greatest feats of trickery of all time.
Uh right. Semites are assholes. All of them. The entire ME is packed with assholes.
So pick your asshole. I'll pick Israel. They produce things I value. Their opponents are orcs.
The USA has plenty of assholes too. I'd estimate at least 50% of the population.......
Ha, we agree on something. And they vote, that is why 50% of the Congress is worthless.
We agree on A LOT, JohnAZ. You and I just disagree, strongly, on war. I hate war, killing, death and destruction and believe the USA has NOT the right to inflict death and destruction on other nations. You, on the other hand love war, killing, death and destruction and believe the USA HAS the right to inflict death and destruction on other nations.
Aside from that, we pretty much see eye to eye.
Four of my brothers and I are US military (Army, Navy, Marines) veterans and we oppose the unjust war with Iran and Zionist’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. Nearly all the people in favor of war are chicken-hawks who never served in the military but are only too happy to send some poor goy Christians to go get killed. Zionist Epstein class controls Trump and both parties; US taxpayers send hundreds of billions to Israel and the Epsteins return millions to the politicians in donations. Scam for the ages and its middle class Christian Americans paying for it and getting killed now too.
Two words for your comment.
Bull
Shit
You are no Veteran and neither are your imaginary brothers.
Any Veteran serving in the past 30 years knows full well that the muslims are the cause the on-going wars, and the only way to stop them is to kill them before they kill us.
Take your BS elsewhere.
I have not served in the military. From a young age I never had any desired to join the military and then be sent to Iraq to have my legs blown off or be killed hanging around in a shit hole nation that doesn't want me there, doesn't need me there and isn't grateful for my ultimate sacrifice. For this reason I stayed out and have encouraged my children to stay out. My heart aches for our soldiers who go out to these places and give the ultimate sacrifice for absolutely nothing (see Afghanistan). Soldiers are pawns, cogs in the gears of the military / industrial complex (see Vietnam). It's too bad that more of them don't realize this, lay down their arms, and refuse to do this bull shit.
Like Little Lindsey? He just likes the sight of a man in uniform.
Your ignorance is simply astounding.
Anyone who would not serve to defend his country does not deserve citizenship.
The mulims ain't playing patti-cake, slick.
They want to kill everyone one of us, taking no prisoners. They have been actively conducting warfare against us for at least the last 50 years.
The ONLY thing stopping them is the men and women of our Armed Forces.
There are many millions of people on this planet who would gladly die in order to kill you and everyone in your family.
The ONLY thing stopping is our Veterans.
Cowards such as you, running your mouth while others die to protect you, make me sick.
Why the hatred and the anger, you cranky old Fart. Good Lord. You are one pissed off old dude. How do you sleep at night? You must lay awake in fear that those pesky muslims are going to come chop your head off.
And I'm the ignorant one? Please.
Go take a sleeping pill and relax.
There’s a reason Iran is the world’s largest exporter of terrorism. USA is prepared and able to do whatever is necessary to demolish Iran’s capabilities to use terror. Top of the list are its nuclear bomb ambitions. To paraphrase Mullahs the world “Death to Iran.”
"Iran is the world’s largest exporter of terrorism"
And who created the current Iran that the USA is dealing with? Did not the USA have involvement in the over throw of the Shah of Iran that led the way to the Ayatollahs and the mullahs? Was Iran a purveyor of terrorism during and before the Shah?
Who created Al-Quaeda? Who installed Sadam Hussein?
The USA, via its CIA has its dirty tentacles in all of the dirt throughout the world. Don't be naive and deny this. You know its true. The USA creates the problem in the first place and then goes to war to end the problem.
go back further, Operation Ajax, 1953.
Tangle web, all day every day...
It's a nice sunny day here in the Northeast, the many feet of snow departing, early blooming crocus ,daffodil and others are adding their color to the landscape emerging from the drab colors of winter.
What do they produce? Endless war, financial corruption, the surveillance state?
I hear their olives are pretty good. Other than that I can't readily identify what Israel produces that directly benefits the USA, at least the citizens of the USA. I do know that Pornhub is owned and operated by Jews. Does that make Israel a prolific producer of porn? Americans absolutely love their pornography so there you go!
High tech has bet heavily on Israel.
It's a long ass list.

I think it's the other way around.
That shows the extreme cluelessness of your views.
Ben,
I don't care to engage you because we will never change each other's minds. I do, however, wish you well and hope that you get that piece of rural land you have been eying up.
Back at you, but when you are wrong, you are wrong.
Ignoring Islam and focusing on Israel is a suckers game.
Ask Europe.
In the Game of Life there are always folks rooting for Tyrants.
Winning with a tyrant is better than losing. Pissed off is better than pissed on.
And I want to piss on commies. Alive or dead... I don't care which.
The Bolsheviks were communists and overwhelmingly led by Jews; they killed over 10 million Christians.
Indeed. 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.

Wikipedia: “ “By way of deception thou shalt do war" is a phrase derived from Proverbs 24:6, which emphasizes the importance of strategy and wise planning in warfare. It has been adopted as a motto by the Israeli intelligence agency, Mossad, reflecting the need for careful navigation and intelligence in military operations.”
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
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."
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
I like this one, JohnAZ.
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.
" 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.
So if one doesn’t make oneself clear we resort to name calling?
Head in sand, you have.
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.
Perhaps you're being "sarcastic" and I missed it?
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.
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.
What does reality and truth have to do with anything?
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.
Buckle up, Beth. This isn’t over by a long shot.
Abraham Zapruder filmed it and Jack Ruby (Jacob Rubenstein) swept it up
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.
Yep
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.
Yes-Through the powers vested in the Department of Redundancy Department.
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.
No, unless the Israelis said otherwise...........
@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.
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.
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.
"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.
Are you familiar with Clann Éireann and the internal disputes of recent years?
At this point the populace is shutting down the country.
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 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.
Yes, economic war. Part of it will be CW2.
Kunstler has such a great way of activating all of you Whiny Assed Cowards (WAC's), with seemingly effortless ease.

Trump and Israel...two entities who know how to win.
Clusterfuck Nation at its finest. Thank you
Jim hasn’t lost a step.
“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.
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.
Amen, amen, amen. Get the troops home and put them to work getting the interlopers out of there!
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.
They’re pretty Freaking Pissed!
Hopefully the Irish anger about fuel prices morphs into a hysterical fury against every foreigner in the country, including the Brits.
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??
Instead of allowing politicians to decide on election reform, how about holding a nation-wide referendum? Let the People speak!
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.

Slop
Yeah, that'll work.
Gwyneth was talking about election reform.
Surely you jest!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Israel-AIPC??
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.
“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.
We should probably all start building attack drones too.
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.
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.
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.
