The rampant fraud - from the local level on up - needs to be reined in. Only when individuals start being held accountable for their actions will the world return to some semblance of normalcy.
I like your statement, Lisa, but you know and I know and everyone else here at CFN knows that individuals will NOT start being held accountable for their actions. The US Government, for all intents and purposes, can no longer govern. It has become too bogged down in lawsuits from rogue attorneys like Norm Eisen and rogue judges who do nothing but obstruct the ability of those duly elected officials to actually govern. The other problem is there aren't any statesmen anymore. We have no real leaders anymore and anyone who tries, like Mr. Trump, are bogged down in lawfare and unable to govern. The US is a leaderless and rudderless ship. The only thing it can accomplish anymore is making war against sad-sack shithole countries like Iran, and, given the fact that we are still fucking around over there, the US Government can't even win the wars it starts. They can't pass and maintain a budget. They can't stop spending. They can't do a single goddamned thing that actually benefits the taxpaying suckers living here.
Buckle up. It's going to get bumpy as the debt grows, the money printing continues and nobody makes any efforts to correct it.
I don't think the US political leaders even care about winning the endless wars they keep starting. The wars are simply an excuse to manufacture endless amounts of weapons, ammunition, military vehicles, etc., and develop new weapons system. Many billions of dollars are paid to Defense Contractors, and they employ lots of people and make great profit off of pointless wars that drag on for a long time, and that we never really win in the end. This fuels our military-industrial complex. There is a large class of lawyers, law firms, and lobbyists that are all paid by Defense Contractors and all make lots of money off this charade. What needs to happen is a financial reckoning, whereby the rest of the world stops buying our worthless treasury bonds and instead demands that the US repay its foreign debt. China has already been talking about the US being a bankrupt nation of warmongers. I hope this does not result in a Hyperinflationary Dollar Collapse, which would be the most catastrophic thing that has ever happened to this country, in its existence. Remember, the USSR spent far more than it could afford on its military, and suffered a collapse and fell apart in 1991: don't think that it can't happen here.
There are two ways out of this debt madness inflicted upon the American people.
1. Monetize the debt with rampant money printing. As you know, this leads to hyper inflation and destroys all of our savings accounts.
2. Default on the debt. In a nation where everything is built on debt, yeah, there will be a lot of people jumping off skyscrapers or putting a bullet through their brains.
The train has left the station and it is on its way to its destination. Nothing can stop it now. Our "government" either prints its way out of its debt obligations or it defaults. One way or another, there are going to be an awful lot of people who essentially have no money.
What would be the problem with defaulting? The US couldn't deficit spend until their creditworthiness improved. This is bad why?
Yeah, I get it. A lot of the more "conservative" retirement and pension plans would take it in the shorts. Still not seeing the problem. Do you cut out the sugar and carbs now or do you wait until they start amputating, starting with your toes?
IOW "All wars are banksters wars". We live on a predatory planet, it was designed as such and cannot be changed for any significant period of time, but aren't you entertained?
"Banker's Wars" is an internet trope containing more than zero but less that whole truth. Much less.
Was the Sack of Karbala a banker's war? The raid in which Athens massacred Melos? The final Siege of Constantinople? The recent Korean War? War in the Balkans? Enslavement of American ship crews by the North African slavers? Were the Black Hand, Gavrilo Princep and Kaiser Wilhelm bankers?
But you can connect banks to any significant government action; banks act as a middle agent between the government which creates or authorizes money and the people who use it. Banks exist with a government's authority and monetary system; you cannot open a bank in any industrialized country without government permission and by agreeing to work within its system. Kinda obvious when you consider that a government's money is how it collects taxes - in the West you can't pay your taxes in goats or tween boys. Yet.
Viewing it all with a horrified fascination, the mind boggles, following endless money trails that wend over the hills and through the dales, funneling myriad streams of currency like ants carrying aphids into the dark recesses of a foul nest from which few ever escape.
I think the real problem is failure to realize it's terminal and take the appropriate action. It can't be reformed. Think a patient in a memory unit, propped up in a wheelchair, drooling all over itself, the only coherent sound something like, "Back in my day."
But a memory wipe and restart from Constitution won't work, either. The people themselves are so accustomed to where we've arrived that they are as corrupt as the system. "Cut me in or cut it out" will always result in "Cut me in", unless you are talking white males of sound mind. The former can always be counted on supporting the looting the latter.
The Way Out is the Way Through, not that the Going Through is a "Choice", but in that period of Travail there are Choices.
Personal Integrity being the foundational principle, imo. from someone who walked it.
"You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end — which you can never afford to lose — with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they may be." VADM James Stockdale, USN
"Leaderless and rudderless" if you look solely at government officicals, The President on down. But Wall Street and the City of London are doing just fine, thank you very much. They run the show.
Their show is run on fiat, on faith. The faith will be broken, and the show will end with keystrokes. You and Jamie Dimon will have the same net worth.
An old Alabama saying, "The sun doesn't shine up the same dog's ass every day." Meaning, their day will come.
The @unts in power are wringing their hands over the AR-15... While they definitely have a place. I say we adopt yhe M1A as the Battle Rifle for the restoration of the Republic.
Easy 500-600 yard shots with open sights. 800 yards with some glass.
Sure, JDaveF. Lindsay Clancy is being held accountable. And I am Green Lantern of Sector 2814. She'll walk, I mean roll out of that courthouse a free woman despite murdering her kids because that's how fucked people's thinking is. We mustn't punish her because she lost her kids! And she has mental health issues, the poor dear!
Clancy has the same disease every transgender person has, just a slight variation. We call it mental illness or possessed but it is very dangerous and needs to be treated as such. Society must stop accommodating those people.
Unless she gets the needle(which she should but won't) she should be cut loose. She'll never kill again. She's a cripple for cryin' out loud. She can suck dick in Kenmore Square for her keep. I certainly don't want to put her up in the State Penn or Looney Hospital for $50,000-$100,000 a year
The captured Media is the ace in the hole for the Democrats. I agree with everything you wrote except the Media will never allow the destruction of the Democrat Party. The American public is so dumbed down that they will believe anything they see or hear on the national airwaves. If all you wrote occurs, Trump will be portrayed as Hitler and will be impeached and removed from office. Most Republican politicians will not oppose such a move. Public response to government authoritarianism during Covid confirmed we are a nation of sheep. I hope I am wrong.
Sooner or later the battered wife has to realize it is not her that is the A..Hole. Now that they are losing their funding piece by piece and the Cuban, Venezuelan and Iranian operations are being dismantled the enemy is on the run. You can’t influence an election when you are saving your a**
By end of October we will see if it is Trick or Treat. I am betting on God is with us.
Probably neither. Ds will probably win their cheats, and that will be enough. Rs won't start anything.
Russia is too smart to get caught, and, even if they do, munitions factories that are drop-shipping to Ukraine are obviously non-neutrals, and, thus, valid targets.
China is out for at least the moment. Their central economy made way too many mistakes, and it will take time to crawl out from under them.
Iran is done. It just doesn't realize it yet. But its proxies sure as heck do. Iran no longer has the means to foment revolution throughout the ME, so the proxies are having to go it alone. Which, apart from Yemen, is not going very well...
I'd like to believe that, but I don't see how He can be when we kill our children, through abortion and the transgender insanity, and we have an entire political party dedicated to national destruction.
"...they will believe anything they see or hear..." ~ Doohmax
Yes, 50% of American adults read below a 6th Grade reading level, thanks to immigration and our Public Skool System, so we're down to what people can "see or hear".
Here's a headscratcher, why is TikTok close captioned? It's viewing audience is primarily those who read below a 6th Grade level anyway.
Excellent point. I'll use this to again interject something JHK has said numerous times over the years. If they would simply learn to speak the Queen's English, race aside, they'd be three generations ahead of where they are today.
Maybe hearsay, but a friend said California is trying to codify ebonics as a language? Can that be so? Anything is possible in Cali.
Whenever I think of "ebonics" my mind always reflects on the movie Airplane when the Leave it to Beaver's mom stands up and tells the stewardess, "I speak Jive" and proceeds to rap with the two super cool jiving black dudes. Absolute comedy perfection.
Yes, Ron, it can and under the rule of the current junta, the "trying" has a nontrivial opportunity to succeed.
Sometimes, it seems uncharitable to support an assertion, but even so, it may be considered a necessary evil. Here you go, offered with all of the usual disclaimers:
You’re certainly right about what the Covid op proved concerning the general population. As far as the rest goes, we shall see. May that hope come true.
Like James, I am sufficiently seasoned to remember the Democratic Party of nearly sixty years ago, when its ranks still included men who supported the American commitment in Vietnam. Senators Henry “Scoop” Jackson and John Stennis come readily to mind. Even George McGovern, regarded in his day as the embodiment of the radical Left, held positions considerably less revolutionary than the notorious Republican caricature of “acid, amnesty, and abortion” would suggest.
Something began to change during the 1970s. At first the movement was nearly imperceptible, but it gathered momentum during the Carter administration, whose four years of ineptitude exacted a considerable national price and prepared the way for Ronald Reagan’s electoral landslide in 1980. Thereafter, the divergence became unmistakable. The Democratic Party began embracing positions on an ever-expanding range of questions that would have bewildered, if not appalled, many of its earlier adherents.
Meanwhile, the ideological cultivation of the young within our educational institutions had begun to bear its peculiar fruit. Graduates instructed in Marxist categories entered the professions, especially politics, carrying with them the doctrines imparted by professors whose hostility toward the American constitutional order was sometimes scarcely concealed. What had begun as academic fashion gradually acquired institutional authority.
By 2026, the Democratic Party had become, in important respects, unrecognizable as the party that existed only a generation earlier. The central difficulty confronting it is not merely that some of its policies are mistaken, extravagant, or imprudent. It is that its emerging sociocultural and political ethos is increasingly difficult to reconcile with the requirements of a constitutional republic. This is the circle its leaders cannot, and apparently will not, square.
Here lies the constitutional irony. The party enjoys liberties guaranteed by the Constitution while elements within it employ those very liberties to weaken the restraints the Constitution imposes upon political power. Put plainly, they would use the Constitution as the instrument of its own undoing.
When I applied for a handgun permit, I was required to answer whether I subscribed to any doctrine whose ultimate object was the overthrow of the government of the United States. One assumes that an affirmative answer would have extinguished my attempt to exercise a constitutional right. The underlying principle is hardly mysterious: constitutional liberty does not require a republic to remain indifferent toward organized efforts to destroy the constitutional order itself.
Yet the remedy must itself remain constitutional. Thankfully, a free republic may suppress insurrection, punish criminal conspiracy, and exclude from office those lawfully disqualified through due process. The burden, if that word is not altogether too charitable given the brazen conduct of today’s Democratic radicals du jour, is to distinguish dissent from subversion and political folly from rebellion. Where a movement crosses that line and manifestly seeks the destruction of constitutional government, barring its agents from power is not merely reasonable. It becomes an obligation of constitutional self-preservation.
You could have written your piece in 1859-1860 and it would have fit well.
Lincoln winning then repudiated the slavery question, just like today it is socialism. If Trump wins, IMO, watch out. The Dems main problem is there is no unity due to geography, how do you separate cities from everyone else? Right now, since 2016, the minorities are figuring out just how full of BS the Dems are and their %s are declining. The Dems have kids, too dumb to know any better, and single women, haters of Everyman.
Civil war? The Left is too dumb to know how to make one.
No, they're not. They're fully capable of not only fomenting a civil war -- and actual Rwanda- or Kosovo-style civil war, not a sectional fight lije our Civil War -- but of completely overthrowing the government and installing a new, Jacobin government. It only takes something line 8% of the population supporting a revolution for it to succeed in overthrowing a government. And with CIA experts like Cruela DeVille rumning Virginia and Elissa Slutkin in the Senate, we're at a disadvantage.
You're assuming you'll get to them before some local thugs, Antifa, or veterans playing for the other team get you.
We've already had over two years of peace we wouldn't have had if Trump's brains had been sprayed onto the lectern in Pennsylvania. The bad guys have been setting everything up for the end of America. Our time is almost up.
Uncivil war for Christmas, and San Diego is a target-rich environment.
Alas, I suspect it will just be a slow, long, shuddering gasp as we, dinosaurs of common sense and the Republic, die off while the Communist scum breed like roaches.
No, it doesn't. Iran hasn't needed anything more than the equivalent of IEDs to convince 55% of Americans that we are losing/have lost.
I once thought the youth had the potential to tell the truth about men in dresses, but, increasingly, they seem to think that not only are those really women, the solution to everything is socialism.
And they are well funded and armed by deviant donors. I really wonder how much the LBTGQ+ community controls this country, with nearly 100% in the Democrat Party?
"Yet the remedy must itself remain constitutional."
There is no remedy Thomas. Leviathan has become too great to reign in. The system is eating itself now. The debt is crushing and destroying the dollar's buying power. Gold is now at $4,360 an ounce. I bought a gold coin 10 years ago for $1300. Has gold changed? Not at all. Has the dollar changed? Oh yes it has. Why? Because of all the money printing.
This is beyond reclamation by the people. It must come down and be purged of all authority before the people can reconstruct. IMO.
I agree with everything you've said, Thomas, but I would add one thing. Preference cascades can flip in a heartbeat. Right now, the preference cascade, the fashionable thinking among most folks under 30, is that capitalism doesn't work, and it's responsible for all the ills we see around us. Of course, this is ignorant and foolish, as I've written about here: https://georgenorwell.substack.com/p/that-capital-thingy It is simply misguided to think that the corruption at every level of modern society is capitalism, or the result thereof.
I would suggest that this script can be flipped. How? Well, first by addressing the real elephant in the room---kids these days are just plain crazy, and the stats are ugly: https://georgenorwell.substack.com/p/whats-the-matter-with-kids-today MAHA is a start, thinking of ways to mitigate the dangers of social media isn't a bad idea, either. We addressed the dangers of smoking, and succeeded in reducing the harms from tobacco; I think we could do something similar for mental health. That's not to say that a sane younger generation wouldn't believe in communism, but I'm pretty sure these nasty socialist notions would have much less traction. We could also stop sending marginally qualified kids to college for mandatory Marxist indoctrination! Just a thought...
We have to eliminate the WORD "capitalism" because it is undefined, utterly mushy. Those who love "capitalism" mean free enterprise by honest people. Those who hate it are against PREDATORY businesses and other dishonor. Much other dishonor.
I agree with you Esther, though I'm afraid we're stuck with this imprecise language for the time being. Perhaps instead of saying capitalism we could just say western style free market economies. The problem, as I see it, is that in an effort to avoid bad outcomes, we must inevitably infringe on liberties. I don't think that most people appreciate this, and some folks here might even disagree with it outright. But I don't think there's any free lunch. Whenever you attempt to regulate some bad actor, you inevitably deprive some good actor in some way. It's not always foreseeable, and it's not usually done out of malice, but I do think it is inevitable.
Society not only should be, but is local. If a community wants to ban porn or booze or trannies or headchoppers or jooooz or whatever, for the good of their vision of society, fine. That's why you want those decisions local. If you don't like those rules, you only have to move a county or two away.
It's the subversion of federalism, of power grabs by the feds, that has largely landed us where we are.
You can't run a society on the profit motive alone. Many necessary things don't make a profit. Many harmful things make huge profits. Thus you are refuted. Yes, it's that easy.
You have refuted an argument that Mr. Norwell did not make. Defending capitalism does not mean believing that every institution in society should operate exclusively for profit. Capitalist societies have always included governments, charities, families, religious institutions and other organizations whose purposes are not commercial.
Nor does the existence of unprofitable necessities or profitable harms disprove capitalism. It demonstrates the need for public provision in some areas and sensible regulation in others. One may criticize capitalism’s defects without pretending that every corruption of modern society proceeds from it.
By Jove, I believe you have been refuted! Yes, it’s that easy.
You beat me to it, Thomas---this is a straw man argument, and it is one of the more common arguments against capitalism (and also small government, too.) Many people have noticed corruption and general bad behavior in our society, and assumed it is the inevitable result of The Capitalist System. But capitalism isn't a system, it's just what people do when no one has a gun to their heads. Socialism and Communism are indeed systems, because they run counter to human nature and require the coercive power of the state to implement. In between those extremes, there's plenty of room for good-faith discussion about regulations that might temper the hardest parts of life.
The Libertarians have triumphed. The Scumbags. The Robber Barons. You didn't police your own and you fought those who sought to reign them in. Thomas (Mule), you are undone.
Lugh has nothing but strawman arguments. He fancies himself the scholar but clearly shows he does not get out into society much. Iran is collapsing and Lugh along with it.
I thought for sure riots would break out in NYC this summer when distinguished citizens found out bus rides weren't free "What you mean I gotta pay, mtherf*ker. Mayor sez I don't gotta pay."
No arguments there. Apparently buses in NYC are de facto in no fare status. After all who's going to argue with Quantivarius when he's holding a machete?
In nearby New Haven, no riots, but plenty of shootings and stabbings. A daily occurrence. A few weeks ago the New Haven Public Library, one of the oldest in the nation, hosted a knife fight between two urban scholars. One dead. So yes, without USAid the violence seems less organized, more random, and less political. But still very bloody.
Of course it was! How often have you resorted to "cuttn" a motherfucker" over an argument over the importance of the M2 money supply Vs the M3? I ALWAYS carry an ice pick for this eventuality.
Point taken ," with , without , its what the fighting's ( inevitably always ) all about " Pink Floyd or" follow the money " . But I have always separated the bottom line motivations of folks like Joe Biden and Bill Clinton , Nancy Pelosi from the true believer/ useful idiotry class of the pure ideologues .
I think shutting down USAID was accidentally beneficial. They thought it was just wasted money, and didn't realize it was actually being spent on a color revolution here. And despite the talk about Deep State, somehow have not realized the whole structure is termite-ridden.
Unless Trump can strip it down to whatever solid wood is left, anything he builds won't last, and, breaking the metaphor, much more rapidly since now they have a plan that works.
Inisfad-----I believe that even the RINOs knew what USAID was funding. This is the reason that they, along with the leftists fought hard to shut DOGE down and lie about it every day so the ignorant people listening to MSM would not complain when DOGE got its nuts cut off.
One of my friends noticed a trend in the music charts.
I did not fact-check him but he said that since the shutdown of USAID, the trend of nasty rap/hip-hip music busting into the top 10 charts has not happened.
He believes funding from USAID also helped destroy American culture on purpose.
I have definitely noticed, and I'm pretty happy about that! Let's hope that it continues through election season. I actually think it will; for all the leftist violence we've seen in recent years, the Democrats have to pretend that it's all about something other than the election, and they lack a compelling cause right now.
As a programmer, I can see that it's mostly theater. If I had access to the voting systems, and dem party operatives clearly do, I could turn any election in to a landslide for the prescribed candidate.
Until something is done about electronic voting, the fraud will continue unabated.
Also worked 35 years in tech and agree that the machines "counting" the votes are a problem, but a bigger problem is the mailing of ballots which are sent out to ineligible addresses such as parking lots, businesses, college dorms where the "student" has been housed for 10+ years, etc. The Ngo's pay people to collect them for later use and voila they have another surprise winner. See LA Mayor as the most recent in your face cheat. A lot of this is documented by Jay Valentine (developer of Ebay fraud detection). He has a substack called Omega4america. If they can at least get the postal service to stop delivering to all the invalid addresses, it might make a big enough dent in their chicanery.
I got an application for a mail-in ballot for one of my kids who has never lived at this address and has been in two other states for years from a county where we no longer live. I shredded it. Question is: How many worthless SOB's would use it as a chance to vote twice?
Probably collected by some NGO and then warehoused in preparation for when the polls close and they need to win by 1%. Oh so close, but the marxocrats win again...
The biggest is late ballot harvesting where tired election workers are paying little attention or are purposely allowing big batches of unauthorized ballots through, always at the end.
Go back to paper ballots that are counted by the chubby old ladies in librarian glasses. At least when we did this we knew the election results by the end of election day.
No Blacks can be allowed to count. They aren't really citizens in their hearts and minds. No antifa types either for the same reason. And that means most Democrats.
Oh Lugh, that's just racism. There ARE low-class 1900's-WHITE-culture blacks disgracing their race, and there are also Thomas Sowell, and Clarence Thomas and many other wonderful black essayists and top-drawer black professionals.
Lugh, you have many other comments of higher caliber. Please stick to your own higher standards.
And as dirty as coding is these days, it's not all that hard to embed a couple of methods (subroutines) to affect the changes required. Electronic voting is fine, as long as they spend the time and effort to write twice as many lines to do val/ver of the results.
This can has been kicked down the road for too long. The time to end this is now, or never. We owe it to our children and grandchildren, and to our ancestors who faced down a half dozen near-death experiences for America.
Thank you for the clear and present warning. The treat at the end of it... the end of the Democrat Party almost blinds me to the horrific fight it will be but that treat may make it all worthwhile. Except then making it past what the Destructocrats would roll into its place does give pause.
Happy Friday! Long live America and our indefatigable President Trump!🗽🇺🇲🦅
Except there will be somebody to take his place, another jumped-up nutter with no conscience. I don't have a solution either, and humiliation doesn't really work with those folks. Actually, the only solution is wholesale arrests for treason which puts all of it under military tribunals.
I reply with a word and action I absolutely abhor, “Whatever” for his kind is tolerable by me and I could care less what, when or where his demise may occur. There is no level so low that he wouldn’t be in it waste deep smack dab in the middle of it along with the likes of Marc Elias and then lie to cover their tracks.
Both of these particular individuals are sorry pieces of conniving low life lawfare breeding individuals!
They’re lower than a snake’s ass in a wagon rut 😡🤬
Kunstler: "What they mean by “our democracy” is the state as a racketeering operation run for the sole benefit of their party members, along with the ruthless power to annihilate their opponents and critics."
This is so damned accurate, it's a freaking atrocity. There should be no doubt in any one's mind that the Democratic Party is America's largest criminal enterprise.
I’m no lawyer so it’s just an educated guess: could the democrats be charged under the RICO statute? Sure seems like a criminal conspiracy enterprise to me. USAID, ngo’s, lawfare, etc.
The reason the nationwide criminal enterprise known as the Democrat Party isn’t prosecuted you would also have to arrest the Republicans who have learned to love the Taxpayer Enrichment Grift just as much as their opponents, the money’s too good.
True. The lesser of two evils phrasing comes to mind. Neither party seems to place America and its citizens as #1, but rather nuisances to be managed and manipulated..
There's a Grand Jury hearing regarding RICO taking place for nearly 2 years in Florida with an honest Judge. Eileen Canon I believe. She was the one who smacked down Jack Smith and sent him packing!
James, excellent points, but one correction: in 1957 President Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne, not the 82d, to Little Rock to enforce the federal court’s desegregation order. I remember it well. I also remember that one of the protesters was reluctant/slow to obey an order from a 101st trooper to move along, and was bayoneted (in the arm) to motivate his immediate compliance.
I always interpreted DEM declarations of "our democracy" to be "our regime" every time. Nothing short of a dictatorship will satisfy those people, much as they decry it. There are too many Democrats - perfectly sane (if misinformed), genuine, good-intentioned citizens who will not abandon "tradition," "we've always voted Democrat," and fear ("What will people think?" I admit to being one of those people who doesn't give a damn about what people think about me.) After all these decades of mind-f**king, a % of that population is always going to exist. I don't know if that's a result-changing number. Given the last election, I'd say it represents no more than 30-35% of the population, and I'm hoping a LOT less. I hate to think that many Americans are that dumb and blind. Personally, DEMs are a pack of spoiled brats, so the only avenue is restrictions that don't allow anything but law to operate - declare the insurrection or martial law or whatever it takes, literally destroy ALL the voting machines, have every paper ballot watermarked and bar coded (and anything else that would protect it) and park the NG AND the military AND the police at every major voting location. Here in S. GA we won't have a problem; this is Trump country, and I've only met a couple of DEMs. (Most won't admit to it, and NONE will discuss why DEM or their TDS.) It's places like Atlanta, Minneapolis, NYC (what a dump!), LA, Chicago, Philly - you know the list -- that you gotta worry about.
Yes, that's what they mean by "our democracy." A dictatorship of the black, brown, gay and transgender proletariat, with white people being the new niggers in America.
If I may add, James... Our 'western allies' are broke and Trump is forcing this truth by upsetting the corrupt globalist banking cartels so they are drooling over a WW3 which, in their minds, is the only way out of a reckoning. I believe this would include internal destabilization of the U.S.
Put nothing past the globalist cartels. Heck, I trust drug cartels more than the broke bankers as they used the only liquid dollars - drug money - during the 2008 crisis.
There are many past quotes that seem apt for this period of political sea change we’re experiencing, but Robert Frost perfectly captured the American spirit of determination with, “The best way out is always through.”
The rampant fraud - from the local level on up - needs to be reined in. Only when individuals start being held accountable for their actions will the world return to some semblance of normalcy.
I like your statement, Lisa, but you know and I know and everyone else here at CFN knows that individuals will NOT start being held accountable for their actions. The US Government, for all intents and purposes, can no longer govern. It has become too bogged down in lawsuits from rogue attorneys like Norm Eisen and rogue judges who do nothing but obstruct the ability of those duly elected officials to actually govern. The other problem is there aren't any statesmen anymore. We have no real leaders anymore and anyone who tries, like Mr. Trump, are bogged down in lawfare and unable to govern. The US is a leaderless and rudderless ship. The only thing it can accomplish anymore is making war against sad-sack shithole countries like Iran, and, given the fact that we are still fucking around over there, the US Government can't even win the wars it starts. They can't pass and maintain a budget. They can't stop spending. They can't do a single goddamned thing that actually benefits the taxpaying suckers living here.
Buckle up. It's going to get bumpy as the debt grows, the money printing continues and nobody makes any efforts to correct it.
I don't think the US political leaders even care about winning the endless wars they keep starting. The wars are simply an excuse to manufacture endless amounts of weapons, ammunition, military vehicles, etc., and develop new weapons system. Many billions of dollars are paid to Defense Contractors, and they employ lots of people and make great profit off of pointless wars that drag on for a long time, and that we never really win in the end. This fuels our military-industrial complex. There is a large class of lawyers, law firms, and lobbyists that are all paid by Defense Contractors and all make lots of money off this charade. What needs to happen is a financial reckoning, whereby the rest of the world stops buying our worthless treasury bonds and instead demands that the US repay its foreign debt. China has already been talking about the US being a bankrupt nation of warmongers. I hope this does not result in a Hyperinflationary Dollar Collapse, which would be the most catastrophic thing that has ever happened to this country, in its existence. Remember, the USSR spent far more than it could afford on its military, and suffered a collapse and fell apart in 1991: don't think that it can't happen here.
I 100% agree with everything you said, TM.
There are two ways out of this debt madness inflicted upon the American people.
1. Monetize the debt with rampant money printing. As you know, this leads to hyper inflation and destroys all of our savings accounts.
2. Default on the debt. In a nation where everything is built on debt, yeah, there will be a lot of people jumping off skyscrapers or putting a bullet through their brains.
The train has left the station and it is on its way to its destination. Nothing can stop it now. Our "government" either prints its way out of its debt obligations or it defaults. One way or another, there are going to be an awful lot of people who essentially have no money.
What would be the problem with defaulting? The US couldn't deficit spend until their creditworthiness improved. This is bad why?
Yeah, I get it. A lot of the more "conservative" retirement and pension plans would take it in the shorts. Still not seeing the problem. Do you cut out the sugar and carbs now or do you wait until they start amputating, starting with your toes?
We could return to the gold standard.
IOW "All wars are banksters wars". We live on a predatory planet, it was designed as such and cannot be changed for any significant period of time, but aren't you entertained?
"Banker's Wars" is an internet trope containing more than zero but less that whole truth. Much less.
Was the Sack of Karbala a banker's war? The raid in which Athens massacred Melos? The final Siege of Constantinople? The recent Korean War? War in the Balkans? Enslavement of American ship crews by the North African slavers? Were the Black Hand, Gavrilo Princep and Kaiser Wilhelm bankers?
But you can connect banks to any significant government action; banks act as a middle agent between the government which creates or authorizes money and the people who use it. Banks exist with a government's authority and monetary system; you cannot open a bank in any industrialized country without government permission and by agreeing to work within its system. Kinda obvious when you consider that a government's money is how it collects taxes - in the West you can't pay your taxes in goats or tween boys. Yet.
"aren't you entertained?"
Vastly.
Viewing it all with a horrified fascination, the mind boggles, following endless money trails that wend over the hills and through the dales, funneling myriad streams of currency like ants carrying aphids into the dark recesses of a foul nest from which few ever escape.
I think the real problem is failure to realize it's terminal and take the appropriate action. It can't be reformed. Think a patient in a memory unit, propped up in a wheelchair, drooling all over itself, the only coherent sound something like, "Back in my day."
But a memory wipe and restart from Constitution won't work, either. The people themselves are so accustomed to where we've arrived that they are as corrupt as the system. "Cut me in or cut it out" will always result in "Cut me in", unless you are talking white males of sound mind. The former can always be counted on supporting the looting the latter.
I wish I saw a way out. I don't.
The Way Out is the Way Through, not that the Going Through is a "Choice", but in that period of Travail there are Choices.
Personal Integrity being the foundational principle, imo. from someone who walked it.
"You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end — which you can never afford to lose — with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they may be." VADM James Stockdale, USN
Perfectly said. I won't try to say it any better than that.
"The US is a leaderless and rudderless ship." ~ Cankerpuss
Perfect summary, nail on the head, CP.
"Leaderless and rudderless" if you look solely at government officicals, The President on down. But Wall Street and the City of London are doing just fine, thank you very much. They run the show.
Their show is run on fiat, on faith. The faith will be broken, and the show will end with keystrokes. You and Jamie Dimon will have the same net worth.
An old Alabama saying, "The sun doesn't shine up the same dog's ass every day." Meaning, their day will come.
Canker, a fine summation.
The @unts in power are wringing their hands over the AR-15... While they definitely have a place. I say we adopt yhe M1A as the Battle Rifle for the restoration of the Republic.
Easy 500-600 yard shots with open sights. 800 yards with some glass.
5.56 is fine for city. Out here in the hinterlands, I'd prefer the M14.
In politics, a thing is impossible until, suddenly, it isn't.

"Only when individuals start being held accountable for their actions will the world return to some semblance of normalcy"
Well, Lindsay Clancy is being held accountable, and that's a good start...
Sure, JDaveF. Lindsay Clancy is being held accountable. And I am Green Lantern of Sector 2814. She'll walk, I mean roll out of that courthouse a free woman despite murdering her kids because that's how fucked people's thinking is. We mustn't punish her because she lost her kids! And she has mental health issues, the poor dear!
Some people need "S-A-R-C-A-S-M" spelled out for them.
Mistrial!
Clancy has the same disease every transgender person has, just a slight variation. We call it mental illness or possessed but it is very dangerous and needs to be treated as such. Society must stop accommodating those people.
Unless she gets the needle(which she should but won't) she should be cut loose. She'll never kill again. She's a cripple for cryin' out loud. She can suck dick in Kenmore Square for her keep. I certainly don't want to put her up in the State Penn or Looney Hospital for $50,000-$100,000 a year
But is/will she? A new trial is scheduled for September 29
Yes and it has be true punishment.
It starts with "US". I have long believed that the "Battle of Athens" TN needs to occur in counties and cities all accross the country.
"WE" are the only ones who can save this beloved Republic.
Only when is the same as some day.
The captured Media is the ace in the hole for the Democrats. I agree with everything you wrote except the Media will never allow the destruction of the Democrat Party. The American public is so dumbed down that they will believe anything they see or hear on the national airwaves. If all you wrote occurs, Trump will be portrayed as Hitler and will be impeached and removed from office. Most Republican politicians will not oppose such a move. Public response to government authoritarianism during Covid confirmed we are a nation of sheep. I hope I am wrong.
Sooner or later the battered wife has to realize it is not her that is the A..Hole. Now that they are losing their funding piece by piece and the Cuban, Venezuelan and Iranian operations are being dismantled the enemy is on the run. You can’t influence an election when you are saving your a**
By end of October we will see if it is Trick or Treat. I am betting on God is with us.
The Truth will prevail, one way or another. Guaranteed.
Pray, pray, pray…have faith and trust…the Christian way.
As in "The Hunt for Red October" theme??? 8 weeks to Go to a Domestic Political Reckoning of some sort, The End of the Beginning???
CW or WW in 2027 (or before?)
Probably neither. Ds will probably win their cheats, and that will be enough. Rs won't start anything.
Russia is too smart to get caught, and, even if they do, munitions factories that are drop-shipping to Ukraine are obviously non-neutrals, and, thus, valid targets.
China is out for at least the moment. Their central economy made way too many mistakes, and it will take time to crawl out from under them.
Iran is done. It just doesn't realize it yet. But its proxies sure as heck do. Iran no longer has the means to foment revolution throughout the ME, so the proxies are having to go it alone. Which, apart from Yemen, is not going very well...
I'd like to believe that, but I don't see how He can be when we kill our children, through abortion and the transgender insanity, and we have an entire political party dedicated to national destruction.
"...they will believe anything they see or hear..." ~ Doohmax
Yes, 50% of American adults read below a 6th Grade reading level, thanks to immigration and our Public Skool System, so we're down to what people can "see or hear".
Here's a headscratcher, why is TikTok close captioned? It's viewing audience is primarily those who read below a 6th Grade level anyway.
"...why is TikTok close captioned?" Could be that many of the vids feature ebonics?
Excellent point. I'll use this to again interject something JHK has said numerous times over the years. If they would simply learn to speak the Queen's English, race aside, they'd be three generations ahead of where they are today.
Maybe hearsay, but a friend said California is trying to codify ebonics as a language? Can that be so? Anything is possible in Cali.
Whenever I think of "ebonics" my mind always reflects on the movie Airplane when the Leave it to Beaver's mom stands up and tells the stewardess, "I speak Jive" and proceeds to rap with the two super cool jiving black dudes. Absolute comedy perfection.
Most aren't capable of learning to speak correctly. Low IQ.
"Can that be so?"
Yes, Ron, it can and under the rule of the current junta, the "trying" has a nontrivial opportunity to succeed.
Sometimes, it seems uncharitable to support an assertion, but even so, it may be considered a necessary evil. Here you go, offered with all of the usual disclaimers:

ROFLMAO
Yes, and they routinely vote on referenda on the ballots that they can't understand anyway.
You’re certainly right about what the Covid op proved concerning the general population. As far as the rest goes, we shall see. May that hope come true.
The Deep State is protecting itself.
Despite all the evidence that has been made public exposing the Covid affair, the sheep probably still outnumber us.
Problem is everyone has gone nuts. As Kunstler continually hints at, this too will be resolved.
https://davidzelenka.substack.com/p/untangling-knots
Like James, I am sufficiently seasoned to remember the Democratic Party of nearly sixty years ago, when its ranks still included men who supported the American commitment in Vietnam. Senators Henry “Scoop” Jackson and John Stennis come readily to mind. Even George McGovern, regarded in his day as the embodiment of the radical Left, held positions considerably less revolutionary than the notorious Republican caricature of “acid, amnesty, and abortion” would suggest.
Something began to change during the 1970s. At first the movement was nearly imperceptible, but it gathered momentum during the Carter administration, whose four years of ineptitude exacted a considerable national price and prepared the way for Ronald Reagan’s electoral landslide in 1980. Thereafter, the divergence became unmistakable. The Democratic Party began embracing positions on an ever-expanding range of questions that would have bewildered, if not appalled, many of its earlier adherents.
Meanwhile, the ideological cultivation of the young within our educational institutions had begun to bear its peculiar fruit. Graduates instructed in Marxist categories entered the professions, especially politics, carrying with them the doctrines imparted by professors whose hostility toward the American constitutional order was sometimes scarcely concealed. What had begun as academic fashion gradually acquired institutional authority.
By 2026, the Democratic Party had become, in important respects, unrecognizable as the party that existed only a generation earlier. The central difficulty confronting it is not merely that some of its policies are mistaken, extravagant, or imprudent. It is that its emerging sociocultural and political ethos is increasingly difficult to reconcile with the requirements of a constitutional republic. This is the circle its leaders cannot, and apparently will not, square.
Here lies the constitutional irony. The party enjoys liberties guaranteed by the Constitution while elements within it employ those very liberties to weaken the restraints the Constitution imposes upon political power. Put plainly, they would use the Constitution as the instrument of its own undoing.
When I applied for a handgun permit, I was required to answer whether I subscribed to any doctrine whose ultimate object was the overthrow of the government of the United States. One assumes that an affirmative answer would have extinguished my attempt to exercise a constitutional right. The underlying principle is hardly mysterious: constitutional liberty does not require a republic to remain indifferent toward organized efforts to destroy the constitutional order itself.
Yet the remedy must itself remain constitutional. Thankfully, a free republic may suppress insurrection, punish criminal conspiracy, and exclude from office those lawfully disqualified through due process. The burden, if that word is not altogether too charitable given the brazen conduct of today’s Democratic radicals du jour, is to distinguish dissent from subversion and political folly from rebellion. Where a movement crosses that line and manifestly seeks the destruction of constitutional government, barring its agents from power is not merely reasonable. It becomes an obligation of constitutional self-preservation.
You could have written your piece in 1859-1860 and it would have fit well.
Lincoln winning then repudiated the slavery question, just like today it is socialism. If Trump wins, IMO, watch out. The Dems main problem is there is no unity due to geography, how do you separate cities from everyone else? Right now, since 2016, the minorities are figuring out just how full of BS the Dems are and their %s are declining. The Dems have kids, too dumb to know any better, and single women, haters of Everyman.
Civil war? The Left is too dumb to know how to make one.
No, they're not. They're fully capable of not only fomenting a civil war -- and actual Rwanda- or Kosovo-style civil war, not a sectional fight lije our Civil War -- but of completely overthrowing the government and installing a new, Jacobin government. It only takes something line 8% of the population supporting a revolution for it to succeed in overthrowing a government. And with CIA experts like Cruela DeVille rumning Virginia and Elissa Slutkin in the Senate, we're at a disadvantage.
That requires people not to fight back; at some point, the rioters will start getting shot back.
Even in Commiefornia, there are enough good old boys to take it to them.
We can only hope.
I, along with hundreds of thousands of veterans of the last 22 years will NOT let that happen.
I already have a list of locals who go first in the first 3 hours.
You're assuming you'll get to them before some local thugs, Antifa, or veterans playing for the other team get you.
We've already had over two years of peace we wouldn't have had if Trump's brains had been sprayed onto the lectern in Pennsylvania. The bad guys have been setting everything up for the end of America. Our time is almost up.
Wheels within wheels, one can dream.
Got me a list, and I've checked it twice.
Uncivil war for Christmas, and San Diego is a target-rich environment.
Alas, I suspect it will just be a slow, long, shuddering gasp as we, dinosaurs of common sense and the Republic, die off while the Communist scum breed like roaches.
The Left has to convince the military arm of the government to join them. Not likely to happen but history, the French Revolution, shows feasibility.
No, it doesn't. Iran hasn't needed anything more than the equivalent of IEDs to convince 55% of Americans that we are losing/have lost.
I once thought the youth had the potential to tell the truth about men in dresses, but, increasingly, they seem to think that not only are those really women, the solution to everything is socialism.
I pray you're right.
I don't; it is far easier to shoot the Commies in the head and bury them than to try to live with them.
They are a nest of invading termites eating the house from within.
And they are well funded and armed by deviant donors. I really wonder how much the LBTGQ+ community controls this country, with nearly 100% in the Democrat Party?
Why bury them? Rats gotta eat...
Here here!! So true. 👍🏻
"Yet the remedy must itself remain constitutional."
There is no remedy Thomas. Leviathan has become too great to reign in. The system is eating itself now. The debt is crushing and destroying the dollar's buying power. Gold is now at $4,360 an ounce. I bought a gold coin 10 years ago for $1300. Has gold changed? Not at all. Has the dollar changed? Oh yes it has. Why? Because of all the money printing.
This is beyond reclamation by the people. It must come down and be purged of all authority before the people can reconstruct. IMO.
As always, Thomas, excellent comment.
I agree with everything you've said, Thomas, but I would add one thing. Preference cascades can flip in a heartbeat. Right now, the preference cascade, the fashionable thinking among most folks under 30, is that capitalism doesn't work, and it's responsible for all the ills we see around us. Of course, this is ignorant and foolish, as I've written about here: https://georgenorwell.substack.com/p/that-capital-thingy It is simply misguided to think that the corruption at every level of modern society is capitalism, or the result thereof.
I would suggest that this script can be flipped. How? Well, first by addressing the real elephant in the room---kids these days are just plain crazy, and the stats are ugly: https://georgenorwell.substack.com/p/whats-the-matter-with-kids-today MAHA is a start, thinking of ways to mitigate the dangers of social media isn't a bad idea, either. We addressed the dangers of smoking, and succeeded in reducing the harms from tobacco; I think we could do something similar for mental health. That's not to say that a sane younger generation wouldn't believe in communism, but I'm pretty sure these nasty socialist notions would have much less traction. We could also stop sending marginally qualified kids to college for mandatory Marxist indoctrination! Just a thought...
We have to eliminate the WORD "capitalism" because it is undefined, utterly mushy. Those who love "capitalism" mean free enterprise by honest people. Those who hate it are against PREDATORY businesses and other dishonor. Much other dishonor.
I agree with you Esther, though I'm afraid we're stuck with this imprecise language for the time being. Perhaps instead of saying capitalism we could just say western style free market economies. The problem, as I see it, is that in an effort to avoid bad outcomes, we must inevitably infringe on liberties. I don't think that most people appreciate this, and some folks here might even disagree with it outright. But I don't think there's any free lunch. Whenever you attempt to regulate some bad actor, you inevitably deprive some good actor in some way. It's not always foreseeable, and it's not usually done out of malice, but I do think it is inevitable.
Society not only should be, but is local. If a community wants to ban porn or booze or trannies or headchoppers or jooooz or whatever, for the good of their vision of society, fine. That's why you want those decisions local. If you don't like those rules, you only have to move a county or two away.
It's the subversion of federalism, of power grabs by the feds, that has largely landed us where we are.
You can't run a society on the profit motive alone. Many necessary things don't make a profit. Many harmful things make huge profits. Thus you are refuted. Yes, it's that easy.
You have refuted an argument that Mr. Norwell did not make. Defending capitalism does not mean believing that every institution in society should operate exclusively for profit. Capitalist societies have always included governments, charities, families, religious institutions and other organizations whose purposes are not commercial.
Nor does the existence of unprofitable necessities or profitable harms disprove capitalism. It demonstrates the need for public provision in some areas and sensible regulation in others. One may criticize capitalism’s defects without pretending that every corruption of modern society proceeds from it.
By Jove, I believe you have been refuted! Yes, it’s that easy.
You beat me to it, Thomas---this is a straw man argument, and it is one of the more common arguments against capitalism (and also small government, too.) Many people have noticed corruption and general bad behavior in our society, and assumed it is the inevitable result of The Capitalist System. But capitalism isn't a system, it's just what people do when no one has a gun to their heads. Socialism and Communism are indeed systems, because they run counter to human nature and require the coercive power of the state to implement. In between those extremes, there's plenty of room for good-faith discussion about regulations that might temper the hardest parts of life.
The Libertarians have triumphed. The Scumbags. The Robber Barons. You didn't police your own and you fought those who sought to reign them in. Thomas (Mule), you are undone.
Lugh has nothing but strawman arguments. He fancies himself the scholar but clearly shows he does not get out into society much. Iran is collapsing and Lugh along with it.
Have you noticed that with USAID and SPLC shut down there were no riots this summer? Trump is cutting off billions in Dem funding. More power to him.
I thought for sure riots would break out in NYC this summer when distinguished citizens found out bus rides weren't free "What you mean I gotta pay, mtherf*ker. Mayor sez I don't gotta pay."
No arguments there. Apparently buses in NYC are de facto in no fare status. After all who's going to argue with Quantivarius when he's holding a machete?
In nearby New Haven, no riots, but plenty of shootings and stabbings. A daily occurrence. A few weeks ago the New Haven Public Library, one of the oldest in the nation, hosted a knife fight between two urban scholars. One dead. So yes, without USAid the violence seems less organized, more random, and less political. But still very bloody.
I'm sure the conflict between the two " urban scholars " wasn't the result of ideological differences .
CC,
Of course it was! How often have you resorted to "cuttn" a motherfucker" over an argument over the importance of the M2 money supply Vs the M3? I ALWAYS carry an ice pick for this eventuality.
You know E., the money supply actually might have figured in, like "How much money you got in yo pocket, Mthrf*kkr?"
Point taken ," with , without , its what the fighting's ( inevitably always ) all about " Pink Floyd or" follow the money " . But I have always separated the bottom line motivations of folks like Joe Biden and Bill Clinton , Nancy Pelosi from the true believer/ useful idiotry class of the pure ideologues .
I think shutting down USAID was accidentally beneficial. They thought it was just wasted money, and didn't realize it was actually being spent on a color revolution here. And despite the talk about Deep State, somehow have not realized the whole structure is termite-ridden.
Unless Trump can strip it down to whatever solid wood is left, anything he builds won't last, and, breaking the metaphor, much more rapidly since now they have a plan that works.
I disagree. They knew exactly what USAID was funding.
Inisfad-----I believe that even the RINOs knew what USAID was funding. This is the reason that they, along with the leftists fought hard to shut DOGE down and lie about it every day so the ignorant people listening to MSM would not complain when DOGE got its nuts cut off.
Maybe. If so, burying the lede was a really bad idea. All of Musk's releases were more about waste than about funding a revolution.
One of my friends noticed a trend in the music charts.
I did not fact-check him but he said that since the shutdown of USAID, the trend of nasty rap/hip-hip music busting into the top 10 charts has not happened.
He believes funding from USAID also helped destroy American culture on purpose.
I have definitely noticed, and I'm pretty happy about that! Let's hope that it continues through election season. I actually think it will; for all the leftist violence we've seen in recent years, the Democrats have to pretend that it's all about something other than the election, and they lack a compelling cause right now.
As a programmer, I can see that it's mostly theater. If I had access to the voting systems, and dem party operatives clearly do, I could turn any election in to a landslide for the prescribed candidate.
Until something is done about electronic voting, the fraud will continue unabated.
Also worked 35 years in tech and agree that the machines "counting" the votes are a problem, but a bigger problem is the mailing of ballots which are sent out to ineligible addresses such as parking lots, businesses, college dorms where the "student" has been housed for 10+ years, etc. The Ngo's pay people to collect them for later use and voila they have another surprise winner. See LA Mayor as the most recent in your face cheat. A lot of this is documented by Jay Valentine (developer of Ebay fraud detection). He has a substack called Omega4america. If they can at least get the postal service to stop delivering to all the invalid addresses, it might make a big enough dent in their chicanery.
I got an application for a mail-in ballot for one of my kids who has never lived at this address and has been in two other states for years from a county where we no longer live. I shredded it. Question is: How many worthless SOB's would use it as a chance to vote twice?
My Nieces husband received a mail in ballot with tape on the envelope and no ballot inside. Where did his vote end up?
Probably collected by some NGO and then warehoused in preparation for when the polls close and they need to win by 1%. Oh so close, but the marxocrats win again...
The biggest is late ballot harvesting where tired election workers are paying little attention or are purposely allowing big batches of unauthorized ballots through, always at the end.
Go back to paper ballots that are counted by the chubby old ladies in librarian glasses. At least when we did this we knew the election results by the end of election day.
No Blacks can be allowed to count. They aren't really citizens in their hearts and minds. No antifa types either for the same reason. And that means most Democrats.
Oh Lugh, that's just racism. There ARE low-class 1900's-WHITE-culture blacks disgracing their race, and there are also Thomas Sowell, and Clarence Thomas and many other wonderful black essayists and top-drawer black professionals.
Lugh, you have many other comments of higher caliber. Please stick to your own higher standards.
No, studies show them discriminating in favor of their own race and against Whites both in terms of conviction and acquittal.
Where are you on Lindsay Clancy? One male hero is holding back the flood.
When America was healthy, it was racist. You world view is about not putting your own people first. No greatness comes from that but only defeat.
And as dirty as coding is these days, it's not all that hard to embed a couple of methods (subroutines) to affect the changes required. Electronic voting is fine, as long as they spend the time and effort to write twice as many lines to do val/ver of the results.
Add on AI.
This can has been kicked down the road for too long. The time to end this is now, or never. We owe it to our children and grandchildren, and to our ancestors who faced down a half dozen near-death experiences for America.
Thank you for the clear and present warning. The treat at the end of it... the end of the Democrat Party almost blinds me to the horrific fight it will be but that treat may make it all worthwhile. Except then making it past what the Destructocrats would roll into its place does give pause.
Happy Friday! Long live America and our indefatigable President Trump!🗽🇺🇲🦅
Eisen needs to be departed from this world, no doubt
Except there will be somebody to take his place, another jumped-up nutter with no conscience. I don't have a solution either, and humiliation doesn't really work with those folks. Actually, the only solution is wholesale arrests for treason which puts all of it under military tribunals.
We have the concentration camps already built in the deserts. They only await occupants. If not them, us.
Agreed.
High-speed lead poisoning would solve many issues.
There will be plenty more to replace him and probably worse.
I reply with a word and action I absolutely abhor, “Whatever” for his kind is tolerable by me and I could care less what, when or where his demise may occur. There is no level so low that he wouldn’t be in it waste deep smack dab in the middle of it along with the likes of Marc Elias and then lie to cover their tracks.
Both of these particular individuals are sorry pieces of conniving low life lawfare breeding individuals!
They’re lower than a snake’s ass in a wagon rut 😡🤬
Hopefully you mean from the world of politics!
Why just politics, WW?
Maybe a cultural enricher will do that for us some day.
Kunstler: "What they mean by “our democracy” is the state as a racketeering operation run for the sole benefit of their party members, along with the ruthless power to annihilate their opponents and critics."
This is so damned accurate, it's a freaking atrocity. There should be no doubt in any one's mind that the Democratic Party is America's largest criminal enterprise.
I’m no lawyer so it’s just an educated guess: could the democrats be charged under the RICO statute? Sure seems like a criminal conspiracy enterprise to me. USAID, ngo’s, lawfare, etc.
The reason the nationwide criminal enterprise known as the Democrat Party isn’t prosecuted you would also have to arrest the Republicans who have learned to love the Taxpayer Enrichment Grift just as much as their opponents, the money’s too good.
True. The lesser of two evils phrasing comes to mind. Neither party seems to place America and its citizens as #1, but rather nuisances to be managed and manipulated..
Keep voting for those elected representatives!
There's a Grand Jury hearing regarding RICO taking place for nearly 2 years in Florida with an honest Judge. Eileen Canon I believe. She was the one who smacked down Jack Smith and sent him packing!
I have a lot of faith in that and its outcome.
Really? I hope you’re right. I’ve always found Joe DeGenova to be mostly talk.
I hope and pray that I’m right,
The current madness reminds me of that meme from about two years back:
"Woman sobs "I never thought a cheetah would eat MY face" after voting for the 'Cheetahs Eating People's Faces Party."
Ha! So true.
James, excellent points, but one correction: in 1957 President Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne, not the 82d, to Little Rock to enforce the federal court’s desegregation order. I remember it well. I also remember that one of the protesters was reluctant/slow to obey an order from a 101st trooper to move along, and was bayoneted (in the arm) to motivate his immediate compliance.
He got the point!
So much for freedom, eh?
You only have the freedom your rulers allow.
The Constitution gives us all the Power! We have lazily forfeited our Powers, our Rights and Freedoms to our Potemkin Representatives!
Most are in it just for the Money and their Extravagant Perks!
rioters
101st Airborne ---the Screaming Eagles ---for the win.
For the loss of our Nation.
We should have shut down America after they did that.
"We" did. "We" replaced it with something "better".
I always interpreted DEM declarations of "our democracy" to be "our regime" every time. Nothing short of a dictatorship will satisfy those people, much as they decry it. There are too many Democrats - perfectly sane (if misinformed), genuine, good-intentioned citizens who will not abandon "tradition," "we've always voted Democrat," and fear ("What will people think?" I admit to being one of those people who doesn't give a damn about what people think about me.) After all these decades of mind-f**king, a % of that population is always going to exist. I don't know if that's a result-changing number. Given the last election, I'd say it represents no more than 30-35% of the population, and I'm hoping a LOT less. I hate to think that many Americans are that dumb and blind. Personally, DEMs are a pack of spoiled brats, so the only avenue is restrictions that don't allow anything but law to operate - declare the insurrection or martial law or whatever it takes, literally destroy ALL the voting machines, have every paper ballot watermarked and bar coded (and anything else that would protect it) and park the NG AND the military AND the police at every major voting location. Here in S. GA we won't have a problem; this is Trump country, and I've only met a couple of DEMs. (Most won't admit to it, and NONE will discuss why DEM or their TDS.) It's places like Atlanta, Minneapolis, NYC (what a dump!), LA, Chicago, Philly - you know the list -- that you gotta worry about.
Yes, that's what they mean by "our democracy." A dictatorship of the black, brown, gay and transgender proletariat, with white people being the new niggers in America.
If I may add, James... Our 'western allies' are broke and Trump is forcing this truth by upsetting the corrupt globalist banking cartels so they are drooling over a WW3 which, in their minds, is the only way out of a reckoning. I believe this would include internal destabilization of the U.S.
Put nothing past the globalist cartels. Heck, I trust drug cartels more than the broke bankers as they used the only liquid dollars - drug money - during the 2008 crisis.
There are many past quotes that seem apt for this period of political sea change we’re experiencing, but Robert Frost perfectly captured the American spirit of determination with, “The best way out is always through.”
Stay the course, America. We got this.
End of the democrats? Hopeful but doubtful.
