"No new psychodrama will avail to stop what’s coming."
Wanna bet? The left has learned nothing and simply doubles down again and again and again. Then we enter the "cornered animal" phase and things get - shall we say - rather sporting. There are many of us out here in all corners of the country ready for when that occurs. It shall be very, uh, er, clarifying.
With the personas the left has promoted to lead itself, there is NO OTHER option. There is a startling array of incompetents and deceitful, self-interested psychopaths leading the left.
Their ONLY play is to double down, because they are actually incapable of bringing value to this country.
Gavin Newsome is their frontrunner and that guy is a bald faced blathering leftist idiot. He's coming. Are you ready for him?
They double down because they also know that half the fucking country still identify and vote as Democrat! It's very very very hard for people to reject their tribe, even if they know their tribe is wrong.
I can't imagine Greasy Gavin Gekko gaining much traction with anyone. He's about as feckless as they come—with his dinner at French Laundry fresh in our covid-bullied minds.
On Fox this morning, a survey was put up. 24% of adults said they would like to leave the USA if they could. That seems high to me. A subset was over 50% of young women would leave.
Insanity dwells deeply in the young people of the country. They look to the future and it looks grim, per a lot of reasons we talk about weekly. They are looking for a target, a scapegoat and the Dems have done a good job of putting the blame on MAGA. That is why Charlie Kirk had to be eliminated. Young people do not understand shit about life, that is why they are so easily guided by propaganda bullshit. I will not comment on the gender gap.
"24% of adults said they would like to leave the USA if they could. ... Insanity dwells deeply in the young people of the country. They look to the future and it looks grim, per a lot of reasons we talk about weekly."
Easier there, big fella! It is not "insane" to be young and want to leave a place that is constantly talking about its impending civil war. That's rational.
Where would the 24 percent request refugee status? I’d love to read the answers. Cuba has single payer (socialist) healthcare and the private ownership of guns are banned, but no one is floating rafts south of Key West.
There is constant pressure, mostly from the left, to lower the voting age. It's easy to see why: young people's life experience is mostly in establishment-run institutions like schools and colleges, along with constant drama involving their peers. Neither provides much guidance for nationwide issues. A complex world often seems threatening to the younger generation, hence their need to fit in where they find acceptance among the like-minded.
So they are suckers for ideologies and organizations that pour oil on their thrashing anxieties. Of course they're not the only voters looking for group salvation, but practiced manipulators (e.g., politicians and movement leaders) find them especially pliable.
One basic way to reform the system would be to restrict the franchise to those who are more likely to have reached the age of discretion, and whose self-interest involves the effective functioning of society, not just milking it for personal benefit.
I always did like the setup Heinlein proposed in _Starship Troopers_. If you want the franchise, earn it with some sort of service, military or otherwise.
As an Xer, I came of age just as Reagan ascended, and I prospered by snapping up the scraps left by the Boomers. It was not easy, but it wasn't horrible, either. I don't understand the despair of younger generations . . . Not as someone who was graduated into Carter's bleak, stagflated world with farmers in my area killing themselves and their families. Even worse, preceding generations faced conscription and bloody death, not to mention dust bowls and depression. Student loans and housing bubbles pall in comparison.
You have a good point. I believe Charlie Kirk was murdered because he was very effective in spreading the truth about our Republic and the role of limited government in our lives. These young people are our future voters and our future. The Democrats and RINO Republicans can't have critical thinking young people who are educated in regard to the US Constitution and who understand that the intent is to have a small government elected by the people to represent them in Congress a few times a year to vote on individual bills. And after each session they return to their jobs in their cities and towns to live under the bills that they just passed.
The Deep State socialists have used two major methods to change half the American people into Gimme lemmings. The education system and illegal immigration have stupidified the USA. Note that what the Dems et al are attacking the most is the MAGA trying to undo the damage that has been done. ICE and Charlie are both representations of the targeting the Libs are doing. Th reception both are receiving by the people will be voted on next year.
To reiterate: "A color revolution is the surreptitious overthrow of an elected government by concealed parties." Over their first eight years, (and continuing under four years of O'Biden) Barack Hussein Obama and Valerie Jarrett embedded a layer of Marxists at key positions within the federal bureaucracy. Then these Communist revolutionaries, (living on federal government paychecks), built a complex matrix of NGOs outside the government - to control their useful idiots with jobs and salaries.
And now a 34-year-old Islamic communist that wasn’t even a U.S. citizen a decade ago, is going to be the next mayor of New York City. The largest city in the United States is about to descend into a state of complete and utter chaos, and everyone can see that this is a story that is not going to have a happy ending.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Our Constitutional Republic is fallen. A hot civil-war between blue and red states is not an impossibility.
"A hot civil-war between blue and red states is not an impossibility." I doubt it will sort out that cleanly. It's more likely that any conflict will occur within states between rural red factions and urban blue factions. In California for instance, most of the blue areas exist in the coastal strip.
They do not want to bring value to the USA. They only want to destroy order. Study the French Revolution. They want to do away with the calendar and change time. Mao was similar. Killing people wearing glasses was a favorite of Mao, and copied by Pol Pot. Destruction of the common good will never be the goal of the Left. Its like the Kill Whitey in SA. It is never to learn from the Whiteman and to become better than the Whiteman. Their only goal is to kill the whitey. Same with Aoc, and rad left. Violence now?? We ain't seen nothing yet
sadly Lugh, very few. Or, the ones on our side who know but are too complacent, lazy, scared into immobility... or what not. There are more than a few of us out here in the hinterlands that do know we're at war, civil and spiritual. And before things go kinetic - which is likely inevitable - we live our lives while awaiting "their" next move. High ground and that...
You know, if they would have waited another 10 years or so, they could have been successful. But impatience and greed - and they made their move too soon. Now, there are lots of folks who will oppose them.- kinetically, violently, and likely viciously - for what "they" have done. The "awakened Saxon" is real; and will surprise both sides...
The left has learned that no matter what they do - crime, sedition, treason - the GOP will not hold them accountable.
If you want to know why the Ds have swung so far left, and taken so much of the country with them, I give you the GOPe’s utter failure to defend the law.
The great challenge is how to get rid of the RINO or GOPe "Bushie" faction of party leadership which still controls too many of the state parties and likely the RNC, the Senate leadership etc.
The Republican voter is MAGA, while the elected Republican is still too often
the old controlled opposition "Democrat Lite."
We've all heard the old line that "a lot of the Republicans in DC are actually Democrats, but there are no Democrats in DC who are actually Republicans."
How about we get rid of the fucking political parties altogether and just start having non-partisan elections. Focus on the candidate and the issues, not on the damned party. God I hate this political party bullshit.
I know Washington despised "the Party man" for good reason. In the early days if I recall correctly the guy who came in second was made Vice President. That would sure tamp things down for at least a little while. It seems we lost that lever that required working together. The shiv in the back of the Republic that really iced it in my opinion is the 17th amendment which neutered the 10th amendment big time.
What GOP, the RINOs (led by Bushies and Cheneys) or MAGA, today’s version of the Tea Party? Do you consider Trump and MAGA mainstream GOP? Or the RINOs? Hint, who won in 2024? The term GOP has no meaning for me any more and I am waiting for MAGA to disown the RINO sector, permanently. Trump is starting to show some frailty so better start thinking about who is going to take his place. I will guarantee you, the Left is already trying to demonize his likely successors.
Yes, the GOP are the hypocrites. They are the assigned vocal opposition, in it only for the money promised them by their campaign contributions. They have no interest in truly rectifying or changing the situation in America. I despise Democrats. But I truly hate and loathe all things Republican. At least with a Democrat you know you are going to abortion loving death worshiping satanists. With Republicans you think you are getting the good guys but you are just getting Democrat scum in disguise.
You have to keep in mind the GOP is an organization based on self-interest. These GOP leaders and the majority of the elected are paid to look away and not disrupt what the Dems are doing unless they can get a photo op pretending to care.
On one hand, you're probably right. The left (particularly the young women on the left) are so bugfuck insane, it's very hard to see how this ends without violence... Which is terrible, but it's not at all clear how it can be avoided.
When you have a group of people who are convinced that politics is for validation and affirmation, and are so determined that they are just like "straight white men" that any disparity in outcome is evidence that they are being brutally repressed that they are willing to not only throw everyone else's civil liberties and material wellbeing out the window, they're willing to do so *using those people's own wages* in the form of taxation... Violence, justified or not, is the most likely outcome.
But on the other hand, the girlboss types that are running places like NYC into the ground have no ability to project physical power into the countryside, as they don't have the white house, senate, or house, and contrary to their fantasies, they're not going to go She-Ra on Cletus themselves.
So it seems most likely that the violence will be in the cities.
Why, 15 years ago, I deliberately moved to the country (S. GA) after being a city girl my whole life. Here, guns outnumber people. And it's Trump country. In fact, I met my first Democrat (who admitted to it) a few months ago! (I don't get out much.) I would've enjoyed a discussion, but she refused to even comment. Weird.
Same in LA (Lower Alabama). When you here gunfire, you ignore it - nothing to be concerned about. When you hear a siren you get worried. Exactly the opposite in the city.
I lived in LA for 6 years in the late 70's -----between Satsuma and Creola---when you heard gunfire it only meant that someone has probably just secured some meat for dinner for the rest of the week. Coming from Ohio I think the people did not believe me when I said I loved LA more than where I came from but.....ultimately moved to Texas before settling in the Ozarks.
Girls, that is what they are, are scared to death of the future. Remember the MRS degree in college? Females need males to have security. The Left tells them, nah, you do not need husbands, and we are coming to emasculate the male population so you do not need them. The Girls are being cut loose by society today and they are scared into insanity. They have no one to turn to, both parties are abandoning them. So they are suckers for the Mamdani style “We will take care of you”. I project a huge move by Girls to get hitched in the future as things deteriorate.
I worked with women for half of my working days, dolt. I have huge respect for women who are hard working and supporting their families, but none for crybaby Karens, who are a load on society.
I don't like the women in the HR department who gave mandatory training on misgendering last year. Or the women who demand more women in my industry without any clear objectives, other than affirmation... Basically public thumb sucking for "adults", where no goals or accountability are provided or even requested. Does that count?
Yes, most women have lost it. Just look at the purple hair, the pussy hats, the nose rings, lip rings and tattoos and you'll see it.
Want a good example of what women have become? Check out the two stars to that new movie, the remake of the Wizard of Oz, I can't remember the name right now. One of them is Arianna Grande. I think she's a female of latina origin but when looking at her, one can't be too sure. She's not white but she just looks weird, almost like a bug or something. She is very emaciated. She just doesn't look right. Then at her side is a black chick with facial piercings, shaved head and shaved eye brows wearing some kind of leather dominatrix outfit one would see in a Friday the 13th horror film. Looks scary as hell. Breitbart.com ran an article on these two sweeties ranting about how the Wizard of Oz is "gay as hell" and was written for LTBTEADEZAQ+ crowd. This what women have become. It's hard to watch.
What changed is that all women were granted political power by men via the 19th Amendment. This seems to have been a mistake.
Once women are married and have a male child, they may begin to see the importance of national borders, if only to protect their own sons from hostile invaders who would kill them.
But before that point, women are, as a general rule, greatly aroused by the idea of sexy foreign male invaders who prove themselves physically superior to the local men. This is so deep in the female brain that it's even true among female chimpanzees, and for good evolutionary reason. A woman wants the best (most aggressive) male genes to make sons who can spread her own genes the best.
All of this is utterly unspeakable in polite society precisely because it's so old and so true.
Why is “violence” terrible?? I won’t for a nanosecond hesitate to put a bűllet in the ear of a psycho-tard girl boss as I would anyone else who’s an unrepentant sworn enemy of every thing I hold sacred.
John----let me add one clarifying point to your post. And.....Cletus knows where his bullet will strike the target when shooting at something 25, 50, 100 and 200yards away-- probably 300 yards also.
That's a great second paragraph there. The concept that politics is for validation and affirmation is a HUGE driver in society today, whether politics, our education system or social media.
And once the focus is on feelz, all methods are justified to enforce.
I doubt it will end in violence. More likely as TS Elliott described: “This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.”
It’s interesting that he wrote that over 100 years ago now. Although it’s rather demoralizing, the entire poem makes a fascinating and prescient read. https://poets.org/poem/hollow-men
I fear your peek at the near future is, unfortunately, accurate, NN. Looking at our world today, one can visualize any number of possible dystopian outcomes, with virtually no path back to the glory days of the post war world of my misspent youth.
Agree that the worst effects of the violence to come will be felt in urban areas - but when the rabble rousers advise those tens of millions of starving urbanites that those dirty farmers have food ...
There are so many guns in the hands of good people in this country, I try to hope that when this happens the good people with guns will rise up and put and end to the insanity. I mean a real end. There will be lots of death. Truth is, some of these people can't be rehabilitated. The only answer will be a swift execution.
Mr. C--- if what Andy mentions comes true and the starving urbanites try to take away what those dirty farmers have, there will be a lot of lead flying and unfortunately a lot of decent urbanites will get killed because I am afraid it will be shoot first and ask questions later. People will not be afraid to go postal on people whom they think are danger to their children, families and food supplies. Luckily for me, my wife and I live a couple hour drive from any large city so......a lot of those urbanites will be winnowed out by the time they get this far from the city. Could get real ugly.
Agreed. The left is regrouping. They will be back in 2026. They will re-take the House and the Senate and we'll spend the next two years watching impeachment after impeachment of Mr. Trump. Book it. The average American voter is just too damned stupid to think outside the two party voting system, or, the system it too corrupted to be fixed by a bunch of people who have no interest in fixing it.
Hard to disagree, but what if the cornered animal is both incompetent and kind of passive-aggressive? How does that play out? I don’t know that anyone has seen a revolution like this.
At this point, indictments mean very little. There is a profound disconnect between knowing and responding. We know Epstein worked for Israel, but nothing changes. The list is not released. Short explanation: The enemy controls our national nervous system, the levers of power.
Very possible that Trump also has a plan to Make Democrats American Again (after gutting the existing crime syndicate with the coming tribunal) by installing a real American as its new leader. RFK Jr?
Jim perfectly describes in very subtle terms why women should not be in political positions and why women should not be voting. He doesn't say it directly, but one gets the point if they contemplate his words.
Men want to keep the order as regular as possible, well, most men. Real men. Not the beta soy boys that women want them to be. Women, however, crave and desire drama, fighting and all the bull shit that helps theme satisfy that inner need to appease everyone.
They have no business in leadership positions. Yeah, I said it.
Guys, esp my darling alphas, have been slacking for years. They’ve become no-fun, shitty lazy partners. Porn and video games may be involved. However, my fellow ladies have gotten pretty ridiculous over the last 50 yrs, including killing preborns and comedy. Respect by and for the opposite sex is at an all time low. Everybody’s greedy. We’ve only had the vote for 100 yrs, we don’t run the banks and don’t have a majority in Congress. But we do work harder at home and in the office. For the most park it’s thankless drudgery. so women can’t take the blame for all the messes. I figure once Trump has retired, women will lose their favorite punching bag substitute for every bad relationship. Jets will cool off. Please don’t start shooting yet. Patience, grasshoppers.
Over 70% of the divorces are initiated by women. Among college graduates, 90%. They're looking for greener pastures; for bad boy traditional men who vote liberal; for horny unicorns. But they are not traditional women and bring little to the table.
Work harder? I don't know about that. You all certainly work less. Don't completely blame you - we all should be taking it more easy. Wasn't that what all this technology was about? Guess not. And your place was in the home in any case, so naturally you want to stay there a lot.
I was referring to men as a general group or voting block. Sure, there are evil men out there who have no business being in politics or leadership position. Just as there are some women out there who are skilled and intelligent leaders, though, I struggle to identify them.
Who shops more? Who DOESN'T reject the fruits of the Conquest of North America over the hapless Indians - even as they damn the Conquerors to whom they owe everything?

Mr. Phil, I agree that we have been in way too many countries business since the 50's and 60's and most of them we should have stayed out of but.......the discussion about men starting all the wars leave a large TRUTH out of their discussion----
The people starting the wars do not want to fight the wars themselves but they force our citizens to do the fighting and most of the citizens could probably not find the shiff-hole country they are sent to, on the map. LBJ's daughters certainly did not volunteer to go to Nam and work in a combat zone as a typist or nurse. Same with all the other Prez we have had. Bill and Hillary Clinton are horrible examples of this. Bill the draft dodger had no issue to drop bombs all over the world and even Hillary was behind the disaster in Libya but do you think she would ever in her shiffy life ever, ever get directly involved ? H, E, double toothpicks, NO. But of course we all know she bragged about dodging bullets on some tarmac in a shiffy country somewhere so.....she likes to play the part but there has to be a guarantee of no chance she could ever get hurt. We have hundreds of those types of people sitting in DC over the last 50+ years and they have no qualms of sending some poor guy or gal from BFE to do their fighting. SHAMEFUL.
The Deep State, mostly Ult-Left and RINO traitors, is being seriously wounded by the Trump group and is reacting in every way they can think of. Think though of why. IMHO, the Deep State is heavily involved in the crime trying to take over this country. That is why they fight deporting the criminals, why they fight killing the drug mules from Venezuela, why they want open borders, why they want to let their “Brothers” out of jail, all aimed at taking back their power base and money source. The Biden Mob was just a small element of a global Mob that runs the show, that provides available drugs and servants to the USA elite. The poster child is Hollywood and much of the rest of the coast of California.
So “fascism” and autocracy are the new buzzwords of the Left to describe a law driven society. Bring it on.
At least in my case of being dirt poor, Martial Law was deployed against my family and myself. No due process, no equal protection of the law, no constitutional, human, parental rights acknowledged by the invading bureaucrats and the courts that protect them. Coercive indefinite detentions on "Probable Cause" excuses to openly attack and punish innocent family's because the "narrative" is more important than natural biological parents in this world. The Machiavellian change agent who was/is a school principal from one of those "untouchable" and therefore unaccountable families only has to drop that magic bullet of "child abuse" and presto, you mobilize an army of vampires to proclaim capitol punishment for those who would dissent from their pre-conceived bias/prejudices/partiality. The rich and their friends know how to avoid accountability while praising their "policy's" and impugning the honor of natural biological parents on any bureaucrats presumption. This is an apartheid of Satanic eugenicist who are posing as "Public Servants". Class warfare at it's ugliest.
There are no rights to life, liberty and/or property under a bureaucratic beat down.
It's fascist and it definitely is a more likely explanation for the left's allegations than that you're "attempting to move this country back towards its roots in hard work and moral integrity," eh?
It's fascist to bomb foreign drug dealers bringing their goods onto American shores? For every 5 smugglers blown up, America is likely saving 1,000 or more young people.
War was invented by men to impress women by wearing colorful uniforms, all with the underlying motive to yes, you guessed it… it backfired spectacularly when they actually had to fight them. The wars that is; not the women. Which it devolved to eventually.
The women demand it. You've got it backwards. During WW1, young women would go into churches during services, to give any young man in the pews a white feather, a symbol of his cowardice for not being on the front lines, dying for absolutely nothing in "the war to end all wars".
I had a great uncle fight in that war, and probably not because some girl with a white feather was eyeing him at St. John the Baptist. He ended up hospitalized in France with gas and shrapnel wounds. "Don't be scared for me," he wrote his mother. He died at 21 in that hospital of the Spanish flu on—get this—November 10th, 1918.
Modern women typically condemn male aggression but never refuse the fruits of victory. Rank hypocrisy. Glad you are somewhat free of this. In any case, WW1 was idiocy, just like so many other wars. The smartedt people said so at the time and were savaged for their stance.
👍👍 Excellent post, JHK! It’s much easier to understand the actions of the left wing if there is greater clarity to the definition of “saving our democracy”. First, the Dems aren’t referring to the democracy (actually, democratic republic) of the US. Rather, they’re referring to the democracy that exists to provide power and grift to the Democratic Party, hence the term “their” democracy! Trump threatens that power and grift by simply exposing it and the sunlight ☀️ applied to the Dems is causing extreme sunburn, along with the associated pain.
“Their democracy” allows unlimited illegal immigration, boys playing in girls’ sports (and sharing locker rooms), imposition of irrational and costly environmental laws without meaningful benefit, imposition of DEI policies (Didn’t Earn It) and general intolerance and hate directed toward anyone with the temerity to disagree with any policies/positions supported by “their democracy”.
Rational people realize the Dems are insane and their positions are repulsive 🤮. The people of NYC are about to be schooled in the consequences of fully embracing “their democracy” as Mami the Commie creates the biggest US urban cesspool since the fall of Detroit. Think of the cost of this NYC downfall as tuition for the education of the rest of the US.
It will soon become obvious that Democrats should never be given the power to institute any policies, as it will become obvious that many should be confined to mental hospitals where they can no longer endanger themselves or the rest of the US. God help us.
A fine thing about JH Kunstler is that, despite his ongoing series of pungent and perceptive jeremiads worthy of the Old Testament prophet himself, he remains an American optimist at heart--i.e., that law and order will be restored, wrongdoing made right, and sanity prevail.
I hope he's right, yet we all (including Mr Kunstler himself) that such restoration might be a long time coming, more than likely after more disorder and collapse. The Great Simplification might take a while--hence, The Long Emergency.
1. Illegal tariffs? We will see what SCOTUS says. I have no problem with the POTUS trying to equalize the rip-off the world has been doing to the USA for decades. We cannot subsidize the world any more, it is driving us into bankruptcy.
2. Who is shredding the 1st amendment? Antifa, trying to destroy the USA with their destructive “protests”? The media with their totally biased reporting? The Dems shutting down the USA with their medical demands? Leftist madman shooting Kirk?
3. There has not been a declared war since Dec. 8, 1941. Trump has plenty of precedence. The Bretton Woods mentality still exits here, that the USA will care take the world. That needs to stop.
4. The deficit spending has been baked into the federal budget cake by 80 years of tax and spend. Mostly Democrat. Today, there is nowhere to cut without hurting millions. The latest tax and spend fiasco, the shutdown shows how close we are to collapse. We get to do it again in January.
5. You have no proof of this at all.
6. You are a joke on this one. There is no formal reception area, a ballroom, in the White House so he is building one. He is only there three more years, the ballroom is for posterity.
You are a dreamer about the next elections, cleaning up the ballot box elected Trump in ‘24, and the destruction of the Ult-Left will continue in ‘26 and ‘28.
The Federal Government should actually be funding itself with tariffs, not with income taxes.
I can't believe how so many people are getting their panties in a wad about a ballroom being added to the White House. Buildings get old and need to be renovated or removed and replaced. Just because it is the White House doesn't make it some sacred holy ground that can't be touched. People who are obsessing over this stupid ballroom are pissing me off, JohnAZ. There are more important things to obsess over, don't you agree?
Curing deficit spending will hurt millions but it has to happen. There is no alternative. Otherwise they continue to print worthless dollars and inflate our way into the Weimar republic. No nation that has tried to print its way out of its debt and spending problems has ended well.
The Left side has bargained away the spending picture by its “buying the vote” for three generations. The expenditures pie chart is loaded with items that are entitlements, payments to the people that are counted on now for subsistence.
There is so little discretionary funds remaining that no one can manipulate them. No matter what we cut, it will hurt millions.
So there is an item to discuss here, what can be cut without hurting millions and do something about the debt?
The shutdown was just the latest as the Left is busily trying to hide the fact that they are the Tax and Spend folks whose answer to everything is just to spend more and tax the rich. The Rich are NOT bottomless pits of capital.
You are kidding right? Lauren Boebert? She's nothing more than an attention whore obsessed with her big boobs. Another woman. No more women in leadership. Please.
Holy Shit, Jim, I have never read a more apt description between the male and female voting mentality and why women really shouldn't be voting and why women really shouldn't be in positions of leadership. I know you didn't say or explain this directly, but the way you described the difference is stark and worded in such a way that the slow of mind can understand.
"women taking over the actual machinery of the party has transformed mere politics into never-ending psychodrama and boosted the amplitude of political dirty-fighting to dangerous new levels"
Bingo. There it is. Women love drama. They do. I watch it with my wife, my sisters and my daughters. If there is drama to be held they will find it. I watch it with my female employees. They are constantly calling in sick or late because of home drama while my male employees are here every day, have ample annual leave accruals and are steadily reliable. WOMEN THINK DIFFERENTLY than men do.
"Regular order is something that healthy male psychology takes an interest in, since it entails defense of the culture"
Bingo! There it is again. A healthy man wants things to be in order and functional and he wants and takes effort to protect those things and to keep them functional and orderly.
Most women, other than the intelligent thinkers among them, have no place in politics and they shouldn't be voting. Period. Women, especially American women today, are insane. The mutilate themselves with tattoos and facial piercings and then wander the wastes of America barely clothed showing all their cellulose for all to see. They have no grasp on reality.
An excellent summation of where we are as a nation, and the picture is not pretty. Too many leftist loons and their useful idiots determined to bring down the nation of the most freedom to replace it with their authoritarian version of governance where only the elites and their toadies call the shots. They cannot, and will not win at the ballet box, so their plans for mass insurrections and even civil war remain as their final move. Armed and trained with firearms is a necessity as their assassinations and threats of killings continue. These satanic cretins are not joking. Stay safe and keep your family and friends safe.
Too many people with too much time on their hands and too much "money" to spend.
If Americans had to worry about where their next meal was coming from I think they'd be less inclined to worry about the bullshit they obsess about these days.
We've gone too long without having to sacrifice or work hard for anything and it shows. A decadent, slothful and soulless people Americans have become.
The real and unstoppable war on America is run from the Federal Reserve bank. It will destroy our currency and society with it. It also funds all the dastardly deeds that our government does to us and covers the real sins that would be apparent without he magic of printed money flowing.
But as history proves, that sleight of hand can last only so long. Reality eventually wins and reality will comes in an instant. How did you go broke? Slowly at first and then all at once.
Yes, the printing of foney money will be our undoing. Most people just ignore this big fat stinky elephant that is sitting in the corner of their living rooms. I work hard for my money but my money now buys less and less every year.
They have no intention of stopping the money printing either. They can't. Their only alternative to keep the USA empire afloat is to print the worthless dollars. Mr. Trump himself won't address this money printing. He knows the truth and refuses to do anything about it.
Ron Paul understood and tried but he couldn't get enough support. He's the only one I know of who truly understood the danger of the FED.
Think of it. Since the advent of the FED, by the Woodrow Wilson administration, the USA has been in a constant state of war.
The Fed reacts to the inflation and unemployment caused by the alternating Tax and Spend policy of the Left and the austerity of the Right, The increased problems of today stem from the lack of austerity during the Bush administrations and the second term of Reagan. That is the rise of the Deep State.
Nope. Inflation has one source and it is the creation of "money" from nothing. That creation allows the spending of gov beyond their means and they will never stop until it's over.
The problems all start with the un-Constitutional power the government gave to the Federal Reserve. The gov would not have been able to run perpetual deficits without the printing press. That's why they created it.
Wilson was a Communist. He knew what he signed into law, the destruction of the Republic. I hope he's burning in Hell with John McCain and, if we're lucky, they will be joined shortly by Lindsey Graham.
He might live another ten or twenty years. Hell, he might live forever. David Rockefeller lived to 101 and supposedly had at least 6 heart transplants. When your soul is pure evil, you have to extend your time here on earth because you know where you're going when you die.
He probably never goes out where he could be taken out. I mean, have you seen a picture of the guy? He looks like a pasty white ghost under a sagging white sheet.
MAGA and the GOP got the message during the off-year elections in November. Hopefully we'll dig deep and make the adjustments necessary to save our country. Something positive has to happen with the economy for sure.
It’s somewhat unlikely that election results in blue states, like NJ and NY, was much of a surprise. What IS a surprise is that the MAGA movement is being destroyed from within. The loss of a voice like Charlie Kirk has created a void where ‘influencers’ with questionable motives are attempting to take his place.
Anytime you hear the “our democracy” boilerplate know it is an intentional & faux sleight-of-hand; the United States was founded as a representational, constitutional republic not a democracy. The Founders hated democracy because it’s mob rule - there’s no electoral college. In a democracy L.A., Chicago, & NYC would solely & completely pick the president. Democracies always end in dictatorship & that’s what they seek.
With all due respect sir, trump himself is doing a pretty fabulous job of destroying Trumpism all by himself. 0 arrests, 600,000 Chinese students, h1b visas, hiding October jobless reports...most of that is just last week. I can go on and on... supporting Lindsey graham, wars galore, 50 year mortgages. What a disappointment he's been.
JHK infuses his writings with references to the French revolution on a fairly regular basis. Studying this period of time and the sequence of events in Europe can be instructive and bear similarity to the present state of affairs both here and in the Europe (EU) of today.
Look at Mamdani. What is he advocating? Control all aspects of the economy by the government, ie the PTB control everything. The Dems are showing their true face here, socialism IS autocracy, fascism or communism, whatever you want to call it. The affordability issues he is “addressing” has been caused by Leftist policies in Blue states and cities, the giveaway mentality. When the money runs out and the Dems debacle shows itself, the enemy is the “Rich”. Just wait until you see what happens in NYC when Mamdani finds out he has no tools to work with and what is left of the financial support moves to Texas and Florida. BTW, same thing in California.
John puts the rich in quotation marks. Why? The Rich all too often are the enemy. Fascism values them but keeps them on a short leash. John asks impatiently, So are the rich good or not? He doesn't get it. He thinks that they are - and that's fatal.
Bullshit! Your archenemy, the rich, create the jobs and make the economy. Not the stupid government. If the government disappeared tomorrow, no one would care. If Elon Musk et al, disappeared tomorrow, there would be no economy.
Bullshit, Dennis. The government screws up everything it touches, keep them away from my economy, thank you. You are so proud of New Zealand, name me one thing they are globally known for.
Here at home I opined ZM would be the next NYC mayor, met with 'not likely'. Turns out it is a pattern. A few hours North, MA (Healey, Campbell + Dem supermajority legislature and compliant court system) are from the same mould.
The demographic exiting MA is the 25-44 age group.
The pattern: create a problem, then find a grift, graft and state tyranny solution. Point fingers in any direction excluding self. Search for ways to blame DJT for everything, facts don't matter.
So... NYC will be an interesting experiment. Staten Island may yet decouple from the other boroughs.
"What began in 2016 as a simple, high-level plot to take out Donald Trump and squash Trumpism — a grassroots revolt against those very high-level DC insiders"
Trump's dismissal of the Epstein scandal as a "hoax" sure looks like the very opposite of a revolt against insiders. Instead it looks like Trump is protecting them at his own expense.
But maybe you're right and it's a trap for Democrats. Let's hope so, because it's the only way to keep any confidence in Trump.
If it never plays out as a trap, then Trump has proved himself as complicit as any of the insiders in maintaining elite power over the plebes.
Recently, Gilbert Doctorow has been discussing "the conflicts between key organizations in his (Putin's) government, namely the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the FSB, the successor organization to the KGB."
... and over the last few months, Gilbert Doctorow, as well as Trump and/or members of his administration have commented that there is ongoing direct communication between DJT and Vladimir Putin.
So, is Putin up against the equivalent of the US deep state; and are Trump and Putin in a battle against the UN / GLOBALISTS / ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT?
Then consider the various leaders who Trump has recently been engaging.
David Schoen is a prominent American attorney who specializes in federal criminal defense and civil rights law, known for representing high-profile clients including President Donald Trump during his second impeachment trial.

The democrat party seems now to be composed of two groups; true believers and grifters/opportunists. In the former group, which is by far the largest, are feminists, racialists, sexual deviants and every other lunatic falling within the definition of "social justice warrior." In the latter group are the hard core grifting global elite; the Soros, Clinton, Schumer et al. group who are actually running the show for their personal financial benefit. They view the true believers as disposable cannon fodder to be used along with the shock troops of imported foreigners against the traditional American citizens. Neither group views itself as citizens of America; they are above mere patriotism. They owe their allegiance only to themselves and their petty, private interests.
"No new psychodrama will avail to stop what’s coming."
Wanna bet? The left has learned nothing and simply doubles down again and again and again. Then we enter the "cornered animal" phase and things get - shall we say - rather sporting. There are many of us out here in all corners of the country ready for when that occurs. It shall be very, uh, er, clarifying.
With the personas the left has promoted to lead itself, there is NO OTHER option. There is a startling array of incompetents and deceitful, self-interested psychopaths leading the left.
Their ONLY play is to double down, because they are actually incapable of bringing value to this country.
Gavin Newsome is their frontrunner and that guy is a bald faced blathering leftist idiot. He's coming. Are you ready for him?
They double down because they also know that half the fucking country still identify and vote as Democrat! It's very very very hard for people to reject their tribe, even if they know their tribe is wrong.
Better to vote for the bald-headed (former) Brit who tells the truth, than voting for the good-hair guy who tells bald-faced lies. : )
I can't imagine Greasy Gavin Gekko gaining much traction with anyone. He's about as feckless as they come—with his dinner at French Laundry fresh in our covid-bullied minds.
Beth, your words are too kind. Honestly, I can't think of any salty enough. Scumbag just doesn't do it.
It does seem that way. Sort of like a cult rather than a political party.
"It's very very very hard for people to reject their tribe, even if they know their tribe is wrong."
Yep - and "It takes two to tango."
Some tribes are much stronger in this regard than others. Very few gypsies are ever going to leave that. Ditto Muslims and Jews.
On Fox this morning, a survey was put up. 24% of adults said they would like to leave the USA if they could. That seems high to me. A subset was over 50% of young women would leave.
Insanity dwells deeply in the young people of the country. They look to the future and it looks grim, per a lot of reasons we talk about weekly. They are looking for a target, a scapegoat and the Dems have done a good job of putting the blame on MAGA. That is why Charlie Kirk had to be eliminated. Young people do not understand shit about life, that is why they are so easily guided by propaganda bullshit. I will not comment on the gender gap.
I saw that, and thought it was preposterous, probably fake news.
But insanity it is. Poor parenting and corrupting influences in society/education have wrecked the average young brain.
You are right, young minds are created by their environment and minds younger than 25 are very malleable to the bullshit that swirls around them.
All ages pursue one thing, the Truth. Politicians exist to try to distort the Truth.
What is "insane" about being young and wanting to flee a country that is constantly yammering on about its impending civil war?
Many of the people that filled the USA were rationally doing the exact same thing eight, ten, twelve decades ago, you know?
-----
What is "insane" is navel gazing 24x7 while thinking yourself exceptional. That there's bat-shit crazy, Oc.
"24% of adults said they would like to leave the USA if they could. ... Insanity dwells deeply in the young people of the country. They look to the future and it looks grim, per a lot of reasons we talk about weekly."
Easier there, big fella! It is not "insane" to be young and want to leave a place that is constantly talking about its impending civil war. That's rational.
As someone who has visited many areas of the world, these kids should be made to check out the alternatives. Attitudes would change.
What is Kamloops like? Is it true what they say about the girls? Maybe we can avoid civil war by attacking Canada?
Where would the 24 percent request refugee status? I’d love to read the answers. Cuba has single payer (socialist) healthcare and the private ownership of guns are banned, but no one is floating rafts south of Key West.
There is constant pressure, mostly from the left, to lower the voting age. It's easy to see why: young people's life experience is mostly in establishment-run institutions like schools and colleges, along with constant drama involving their peers. Neither provides much guidance for nationwide issues. A complex world often seems threatening to the younger generation, hence their need to fit in where they find acceptance among the like-minded.
So they are suckers for ideologies and organizations that pour oil on their thrashing anxieties. Of course they're not the only voters looking for group salvation, but practiced manipulators (e.g., politicians and movement leaders) find them especially pliable.
One basic way to reform the system would be to restrict the franchise to those who are more likely to have reached the age of discretion, and whose self-interest involves the effective functioning of society, not just milking it for personal benefit.
I always did like the setup Heinlein proposed in _Starship Troopers_. If you want the franchise, earn it with some sort of service, military or otherwise.
As an Xer, I came of age just as Reagan ascended, and I prospered by snapping up the scraps left by the Boomers. It was not easy, but it wasn't horrible, either. I don't understand the despair of younger generations . . . Not as someone who was graduated into Carter's bleak, stagflated world with farmers in my area killing themselves and their families. Even worse, preceding generations faced conscription and bloody death, not to mention dust bowls and depression. Student loans and housing bubbles pall in comparison.
You have a good point. I believe Charlie Kirk was murdered because he was very effective in spreading the truth about our Republic and the role of limited government in our lives. These young people are our future voters and our future. The Democrats and RINO Republicans can't have critical thinking young people who are educated in regard to the US Constitution and who understand that the intent is to have a small government elected by the people to represent them in Congress a few times a year to vote on individual bills. And after each session they return to their jobs in their cities and towns to live under the bills that they just passed.
The Deep State socialists have used two major methods to change half the American people into Gimme lemmings. The education system and illegal immigration have stupidified the USA. Note that what the Dems et al are attacking the most is the MAGA trying to undo the damage that has been done. ICE and Charlie are both representations of the targeting the Libs are doing. Th reception both are receiving by the people will be voted on next year.
Fox News is chicken-shit anymore!
Yup, but depends on WHO you watch.
I think everyone on this side of the argument is ready. Wait until you can see the whites of their eyes.
To reiterate: "A color revolution is the surreptitious overthrow of an elected government by concealed parties." Over their first eight years, (and continuing under four years of O'Biden) Barack Hussein Obama and Valerie Jarrett embedded a layer of Marxists at key positions within the federal bureaucracy. Then these Communist revolutionaries, (living on federal government paychecks), built a complex matrix of NGOs outside the government - to control their useful idiots with jobs and salaries.
And now a 34-year-old Islamic communist that wasn’t even a U.S. citizen a decade ago, is going to be the next mayor of New York City. The largest city in the United States is about to descend into a state of complete and utter chaos, and everyone can see that this is a story that is not going to have a happy ending.
Wake up and smell the coffee. Our Constitutional Republic is fallen. A hot civil-war between blue and red states is not an impossibility.
There are no blue states, only blue cities.
24 years later, 9/11 is a proven success. New York now has a jihadi Mayor.
"A hot civil-war between blue and red states is not an impossibility." I doubt it will sort out that cleanly. It's more likely that any conflict will occur within states between rural red factions and urban blue factions. In California for instance, most of the blue areas exist in the coastal strip.
Rather an inevitability.
Thank you for reminding me of the "whites of their eyes" quote. It is an apt metaphor for what we are currently going through.
If you can see the white at the top of someone's eye, you can know that they are crazy. This is natural only when the average person is very angry.
They do not want to bring value to the USA. They only want to destroy order. Study the French Revolution. They want to do away with the calendar and change time. Mao was similar. Killing people wearing glasses was a favorite of Mao, and copied by Pol Pot. Destruction of the common good will never be the goal of the Left. Its like the Kill Whitey in SA. It is never to learn from the Whiteman and to become better than the Whiteman. Their only goal is to kill the whitey. Same with Aoc, and rad left. Violence now?? We ain't seen nothing yet
They know we are at war and they intend to win it. How many on our side have this level of clarity?
Great point.
This is existential.
sadly Lugh, very few. Or, the ones on our side who know but are too complacent, lazy, scared into immobility... or what not. There are more than a few of us out here in the hinterlands that do know we're at war, civil and spiritual. And before things go kinetic - which is likely inevitable - we live our lives while awaiting "their" next move. High ground and that...
You know, if they would have waited another 10 years or so, they could have been successful. But impatience and greed - and they made their move too soon. Now, there are lots of folks who will oppose them.- kinetically, violently, and likely viciously - for what "they" have done. The "awakened Saxon" is real; and will surprise both sides...
That's clearly the beauty of the right: no self-interested psychopaths.
LOL
Indeed.
They are protecting the gravy train at all costs….
The left has learned that no matter what they do - crime, sedition, treason - the GOP will not hold them accountable.
If you want to know why the Ds have swung so far left, and taken so much of the country with them, I give you the GOPe’s utter failure to defend the law.
The great challenge is how to get rid of the RINO or GOPe "Bushie" faction of party leadership which still controls too many of the state parties and likely the RNC, the Senate leadership etc.
The Republican voter is MAGA, while the elected Republican is still too often
the old controlled opposition "Democrat Lite."
We've all heard the old line that "a lot of the Republicans in DC are actually Democrats, but there are no Democrats in DC who are actually Republicans."
How about we get rid of the fucking political parties altogether and just start having non-partisan elections. Focus on the candidate and the issues, not on the damned party. God I hate this political party bullshit.
I know Washington despised "the Party man" for good reason. In the early days if I recall correctly the guy who came in second was made Vice President. That would sure tamp things down for at least a little while. It seems we lost that lever that required working together. The shiv in the back of the Republic that really iced it in my opinion is the 17th amendment which neutered the 10th amendment big time.
TERM LIMITS! Only problem is they will fight to the death to stay in power and prevent it from ever coming up for a vote.
The GOP is so craven and compromised that they will never hold anyone to account.
They never have. Why start now?
What GOP, the RINOs (led by Bushies and Cheneys) or MAGA, today’s version of the Tea Party? Do you consider Trump and MAGA mainstream GOP? Or the RINOs? Hint, who won in 2024? The term GOP has no meaning for me any more and I am waiting for MAGA to disown the RINO sector, permanently. Trump is starting to show some frailty so better start thinking about who is going to take his place. I will guarantee you, the Left is already trying to demonize his likely successors.
Yes, the GOP are the hypocrites. They are the assigned vocal opposition, in it only for the money promised them by their campaign contributions. They have no interest in truly rectifying or changing the situation in America. I despise Democrats. But I truly hate and loathe all things Republican. At least with a Democrat you know you are going to abortion loving death worshiping satanists. With Republicans you think you are getting the good guys but you are just getting Democrat scum in disguise.
You have to keep in mind the GOP is an organization based on self-interest. These GOP leaders and the majority of the elected are paid to look away and not disrupt what the Dems are doing unless they can get a photo op pretending to care.
Like a child that's never been disciplined, isn't it? They keep pushing.
Who the UniParty Law Enforcers?
On one hand, you're probably right. The left (particularly the young women on the left) are so bugfuck insane, it's very hard to see how this ends without violence... Which is terrible, but it's not at all clear how it can be avoided.
When you have a group of people who are convinced that politics is for validation and affirmation, and are so determined that they are just like "straight white men" that any disparity in outcome is evidence that they are being brutally repressed that they are willing to not only throw everyone else's civil liberties and material wellbeing out the window, they're willing to do so *using those people's own wages* in the form of taxation... Violence, justified or not, is the most likely outcome.
But on the other hand, the girlboss types that are running places like NYC into the ground have no ability to project physical power into the countryside, as they don't have the white house, senate, or house, and contrary to their fantasies, they're not going to go She-Ra on Cletus themselves.
So it seems most likely that the violence will be in the cities.
Why, 15 years ago, I deliberately moved to the country (S. GA) after being a city girl my whole life. Here, guns outnumber people. And it's Trump country. In fact, I met my first Democrat (who admitted to it) a few months ago! (I don't get out much.) I would've enjoyed a discussion, but she refused to even comment. Weird.
Same in LA (Lower Alabama). When you here gunfire, you ignore it - nothing to be concerned about. When you hear a siren you get worried. Exactly the opposite in the city.
I lived in LA for 6 years in the late 70's -----between Satsuma and Creola---when you heard gunfire it only meant that someone has probably just secured some meat for dinner for the rest of the week. Coming from Ohio I think the people did not believe me when I said I loved LA more than where I came from but.....ultimately moved to Texas before settling in the Ozarks.
Girls, that is what they are, are scared to death of the future. Remember the MRS degree in college? Females need males to have security. The Left tells them, nah, you do not need husbands, and we are coming to emasculate the male population so you do not need them. The Girls are being cut loose by society today and they are scared into insanity. They have no one to turn to, both parties are abandoning them. So they are suckers for the Mamdani style “We will take care of you”. I project a huge move by Girls to get hitched in the future as things deteriorate.
Some sort of reversion to the mean is inevitable
Are you a misogynist, John?
A person who dislikes, despises, or is strongly prejudiced against women:
I worked with women for half of my working days, dolt. I have huge respect for women who are hard working and supporting their families, but none for crybaby Karens, who are a load on society.
My statement stands.
I don't like the women in the HR department who gave mandatory training on misgendering last year. Or the women who demand more women in my industry without any clear objectives, other than affirmation... Basically public thumb sucking for "adults", where no goals or accountability are provided or even requested. Does that count?
Yes, most women have lost it. Just look at the purple hair, the pussy hats, the nose rings, lip rings and tattoos and you'll see it.
Want a good example of what women have become? Check out the two stars to that new movie, the remake of the Wizard of Oz, I can't remember the name right now. One of them is Arianna Grande. I think she's a female of latina origin but when looking at her, one can't be too sure. She's not white but she just looks weird, almost like a bug or something. She is very emaciated. She just doesn't look right. Then at her side is a black chick with facial piercings, shaved head and shaved eye brows wearing some kind of leather dominatrix outfit one would see in a Friday the 13th horror film. Looks scary as hell. Breitbart.com ran an article on these two sweeties ranting about how the Wizard of Oz is "gay as hell" and was written for LTBTEADEZAQ+ crowd. This what women have become. It's hard to watch.
What changed is that all women were granted political power by men via the 19th Amendment. This seems to have been a mistake.
Once women are married and have a male child, they may begin to see the importance of national borders, if only to protect their own sons from hostile invaders who would kill them.
But before that point, women are, as a general rule, greatly aroused by the idea of sexy foreign male invaders who prove themselves physically superior to the local men. This is so deep in the female brain that it's even true among female chimpanzees, and for good evolutionary reason. A woman wants the best (most aggressive) male genes to make sons who can spread her own genes the best.
All of this is utterly unspeakable in polite society precisely because it's so old and so true.
Bollocks on stilts, as Mark Steyn says.
Why is “violence” terrible?? I won’t for a nanosecond hesitate to put a bűllet in the ear of a psycho-tard girl boss as I would anyone else who’s an unrepentant sworn enemy of every thing I hold sacred.
Because it spirals out of control, rapidly, and would hurt people I care about, not just idiot girlboss types.
lol …it’s already out of control.
The left is banking on your nutless sentiment.
Get tf back in the kitchen if you’re too squeamish.
Indeed! Cletus isn't her pantywaist gamer "boyfriend" and he has a scoped deer rifle.
Hey there! Believe it or not, my grandfather's name was Cletus
John----let me add one clarifying point to your post. And.....Cletus knows where his bullet will strike the target when shooting at something 25, 50, 100 and 200yards away-- probably 300 yards also.
...and lead by two to three steps.
That's a great second paragraph there. The concept that politics is for validation and affirmation is a HUGE driver in society today, whether politics, our education system or social media.
And once the focus is on feelz, all methods are justified to enforce.
And this is the societal longhouse in action.
I doubt it will end in violence. More likely as TS Elliott described: “This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.”
It’s interesting that he wrote that over 100 years ago now. Although it’s rather demoralizing, the entire poem makes a fascinating and prescient read. https://poets.org/poem/hollow-men
Whimpering has already happened, bang comes next.
I fear your peek at the near future is, unfortunately, accurate, NN. Looking at our world today, one can visualize any number of possible dystopian outcomes, with virtually no path back to the glory days of the post war world of my misspent youth.
Agree that the worst effects of the violence to come will be felt in urban areas - but when the rabble rousers advise those tens of millions of starving urbanites that those dirty farmers have food ...
Then TSHTF!
There are so many guns in the hands of good people in this country, I try to hope that when this happens the good people with guns will rise up and put and end to the insanity. I mean a real end. There will be lots of death. Truth is, some of these people can't be rehabilitated. The only answer will be a swift execution.
Mr. C--- if what Andy mentions comes true and the starving urbanites try to take away what those dirty farmers have, there will be a lot of lead flying and unfortunately a lot of decent urbanites will get killed because I am afraid it will be shoot first and ask questions later. People will not be afraid to go postal on people whom they think are danger to their children, families and food supplies. Luckily for me, my wife and I live a couple hour drive from any large city so......a lot of those urbanites will be winnowed out by the time they get this far from the city. Could get real ugly.
TPTB have been pushing for a Civil War. They just may get it. And it will be as they say, "Kinetic".
Yes, sort of a circular firing squad.
Agreed. The left is regrouping. They will be back in 2026. They will re-take the House and the Senate and we'll spend the next two years watching impeachment after impeachment of Mr. Trump. Book it. The average American voter is just too damned stupid to think outside the two party voting system, or, the system it too corrupted to be fixed by a bunch of people who have no interest in fixing it.
Right now, there is no two part system, as both parties disintegrate. New parties forming soon.
I'll take it, lead > psychodrama, every time.
Hard to disagree, but what if the cornered animal is both incompetent and kind of passive-aggressive? How does that play out? I don’t know that anyone has seen a revolution like this.
Brilliantly said, Thomas! ❤️🇺🇸👍🏻
At this point, indictments mean very little. There is a profound disconnect between knowing and responding. We know Epstein worked for Israel, but nothing changes. The list is not released. Short explanation: The enemy controls our national nervous system, the levers of power.
Here we o, everything is Israel's fault, huh, Lugh. Did you notice that DS was dumped by JHK earlier? You might try keeping it civil about Israel.
You identify with Arab losers? What does that make you?
You're walked right into. As I always say, normies think they have to take one side another. The higher third is to take our own side.
The Soviet Union made anti-Semitism a capital crime. The Jews were behind the Russian Revolution you see.
Very possible that Trump also has a plan to Make Democrats American Again (after gutting the existing crime syndicate with the coming tribunal) by installing a real American as its new leader. RFK Jr?
Amen.
"Regular Order". I like it.
We're attempting to move this country back towards its roots in hard work and moral integrity and the left is accusing us of fascism.
Also, your first paragraph summary of what happened to bring color revolution to the US was well-stated.
Jim perfectly describes in very subtle terms why women should not be in political positions and why women should not be voting. He doesn't say it directly, but one gets the point if they contemplate his words.
Men want to keep the order as regular as possible, well, most men. Real men. Not the beta soy boys that women want them to be. Women, however, crave and desire drama, fighting and all the bull shit that helps theme satisfy that inner need to appease everyone.
They have no business in leadership positions. Yeah, I said it.
Oh, give me a break! For starters, who starts the wars? Chew on that for a while.
Guys, esp my darling alphas, have been slacking for years. They’ve become no-fun, shitty lazy partners. Porn and video games may be involved. However, my fellow ladies have gotten pretty ridiculous over the last 50 yrs, including killing preborns and comedy. Respect by and for the opposite sex is at an all time low. Everybody’s greedy. We’ve only had the vote for 100 yrs, we don’t run the banks and don’t have a majority in Congress. But we do work harder at home and in the office. For the most park it’s thankless drudgery. so women can’t take the blame for all the messes. I figure once Trump has retired, women will lose their favorite punching bag substitute for every bad relationship. Jets will cool off. Please don’t start shooting yet. Patience, grasshoppers.
Over 70% of the divorces are initiated by women. Among college graduates, 90%. They're looking for greener pastures; for bad boy traditional men who vote liberal; for horny unicorns. But they are not traditional women and bring little to the table.
Work harder? I don't know about that. You all certainly work less. Don't completely blame you - we all should be taking it more easy. Wasn't that what all this technology was about? Guess not. And your place was in the home in any case, so naturally you want to stay there a lot.
I was referring to men as a general group or voting block. Sure, there are evil men out there who have no business being in politics or leadership position. Just as there are some women out there who are skilled and intelligent leaders, though, I struggle to identify them.
Who shops more? Who DOESN'T reject the fruits of the Conquest of North America over the hapless Indians - even as they damn the Conquerors to whom they owe everything?
Guys, esp my darling alphas, have been slacking for years. They’ve become no-fun, shitty lazy partners. Porn and video games may be involved. However, my fellow ladies have gotten pretty ridiculous over the last 50 yrs, including killing preborns and comedy. Respect by and for the opposite sex is at an all time low. Everybody’s greedy. We women have only had the vote for 100 yrs, we don’t run the banks and don’t have a majority in Congress. But we do work harder at home and in the office. For the most part it’s thankless drudgery. so women can’t take the blame for all the messes. I figure once Trump has retired, women will lose their favorite punching bag substitute for every bad relationship. Jets will cool off. Please don’t start shooting yet. Patience, grasshoppers.
Yes, many women would give their eye teeth for the great deal women had before Feminism.
Right! The last thing that men ever want to do is fight.
There are many men who are idiots, Phil Denter. I was speaking of men as a general mass or voting block if you will.
Ignore Phil Denter - he's a Canadian loon who's all about socialism and loves debating on message boards.
Right. I understood that that is what you were talking about. Please consider this list from America's "general mass[es] or voting block if you will":
Here is a list of the countries bombed and/or invaded by the United States from the end of WW II to present:

Mr. Phil, I agree that we have been in way too many countries business since the 50's and 60's and most of them we should have stayed out of but.......the discussion about men starting all the wars leave a large TRUTH out of their discussion----
The people starting the wars do not want to fight the wars themselves but they force our citizens to do the fighting and most of the citizens could probably not find the shiff-hole country they are sent to, on the map. LBJ's daughters certainly did not volunteer to go to Nam and work in a combat zone as a typist or nurse. Same with all the other Prez we have had. Bill and Hillary Clinton are horrible examples of this. Bill the draft dodger had no issue to drop bombs all over the world and even Hillary was behind the disaster in Libya but do you think she would ever in her shiffy life ever, ever get directly involved ? H, E, double toothpicks, NO. But of course we all know she bragged about dodging bullets on some tarmac in a shiffy country somewhere so.....she likes to play the part but there has to be a guarantee of no chance she could ever get hurt. We have hundreds of those types of people sitting in DC over the last 50+ years and they have no qualms of sending some poor guy or gal from BFE to do their fighting. SHAMEFUL.
You sound like Dad, only less profane.
If you don't want them voting, you shouldn't be reading, watching, or listening to them deliver the news/leftist agitprop no matter how hot they are.
I don't watch them.
I can be more profane if you want :)

Occam
As is often said, look for the money and power.
The Deep State, mostly Ult-Left and RINO traitors, is being seriously wounded by the Trump group and is reacting in every way they can think of. Think though of why. IMHO, the Deep State is heavily involved in the crime trying to take over this country. That is why they fight deporting the criminals, why they fight killing the drug mules from Venezuela, why they want open borders, why they want to let their “Brothers” out of jail, all aimed at taking back their power base and money source. The Biden Mob was just a small element of a global Mob that runs the show, that provides available drugs and servants to the USA elite. The poster child is Hollywood and much of the rest of the coast of California.
So “fascism” and autocracy are the new buzzwords of the Left to describe a law driven society. Bring it on.
Mr. Kunstler is a master word-smith - and logical.
Are you sure? Maybe "the left" is accusing you of fascism on account of, for example, your extra-judicial extra-territorial bombing of fishing boats.
Fishing boats? They left the scene as soon as the space guns started firing. They switched to meat-only diets!
Under US Law, all people are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Surely you know that.
At least in my case of being dirt poor, Martial Law was deployed against my family and myself. No due process, no equal protection of the law, no constitutional, human, parental rights acknowledged by the invading bureaucrats and the courts that protect them. Coercive indefinite detentions on "Probable Cause" excuses to openly attack and punish innocent family's because the "narrative" is more important than natural biological parents in this world. The Machiavellian change agent who was/is a school principal from one of those "untouchable" and therefore unaccountable families only has to drop that magic bullet of "child abuse" and presto, you mobilize an army of vampires to proclaim capitol punishment for those who would dissent from their pre-conceived bias/prejudices/partiality. The rich and their friends know how to avoid accountability while praising their "policy's" and impugning the honor of natural biological parents on any bureaucrats presumption. This is an apartheid of Satanic eugenicist who are posing as "Public Servants". Class warfare at it's ugliest.
There are no rights to life, liberty and/or property under a bureaucratic beat down.
But, but only if you have the resources to stand in court.
And don't call me Shirley....
I'll grant the point. That shit is crazy.
But that's not fascism.
It's fascist and it definitely is a more likely explanation for the left's allegations than that you're "attempting to move this country back towards its roots in hard work and moral integrity," eh?
That's what Fascism is, you loon. It's not just a pejorative. You're dumb enough to be a college graduate.
Oh shit, it's our resident Canadian socialist-promoting loon, back again.
It's nearly 11am - Isn't your Tim Horton's gang meeting in a few minutes to talk about those lazy GenZ's and that evil Trump?
It's fascist to bomb foreign drug dealers bringing their goods onto American shores? For every 5 smugglers blown up, America is likely saving 1,000 or more young people.
War was invented by men to impress women by wearing colorful uniforms, all with the underlying motive to yes, you guessed it… it backfired spectacularly when they actually had to fight them. The wars that is; not the women. Which it devolved to eventually.
Good thinking.
The women demand it. You've got it backwards. During WW1, young women would go into churches during services, to give any young man in the pews a white feather, a symbol of his cowardice for not being on the front lines, dying for absolutely nothing in "the war to end all wars".
I had a great uncle fight in that war, and probably not because some girl with a white feather was eyeing him at St. John the Baptist. He ended up hospitalized in France with gas and shrapnel wounds. "Don't be scared for me," he wrote his mother. He died at 21 in that hospital of the Spanish flu on—get this—November 10th, 1918.
I named my first son after him.
Modern women typically condemn male aggression but never refuse the fruits of victory. Rank hypocrisy. Glad you are somewhat free of this. In any case, WW1 was idiocy, just like so many other wars. The smartedt people said so at the time and were savaged for their stance.
👍👍 Excellent post, JHK! It’s much easier to understand the actions of the left wing if there is greater clarity to the definition of “saving our democracy”. First, the Dems aren’t referring to the democracy (actually, democratic republic) of the US. Rather, they’re referring to the democracy that exists to provide power and grift to the Democratic Party, hence the term “their” democracy! Trump threatens that power and grift by simply exposing it and the sunlight ☀️ applied to the Dems is causing extreme sunburn, along with the associated pain.
“Their democracy” allows unlimited illegal immigration, boys playing in girls’ sports (and sharing locker rooms), imposition of irrational and costly environmental laws without meaningful benefit, imposition of DEI policies (Didn’t Earn It) and general intolerance and hate directed toward anyone with the temerity to disagree with any policies/positions supported by “their democracy”.
Rational people realize the Dems are insane and their positions are repulsive 🤮. The people of NYC are about to be schooled in the consequences of fully embracing “their democracy” as Mami the Commie creates the biggest US urban cesspool since the fall of Detroit. Think of the cost of this NYC downfall as tuition for the education of the rest of the US.
It will soon become obvious that Democrats should never be given the power to institute any policies, as it will become obvious that many should be confined to mental hospitals where they can no longer endanger themselves or the rest of the US. God help us.
A fine thing about JH Kunstler is that, despite his ongoing series of pungent and perceptive jeremiads worthy of the Old Testament prophet himself, he remains an American optimist at heart--i.e., that law and order will be restored, wrongdoing made right, and sanity prevail.
I hope he's right, yet we all (including Mr Kunstler himself) that such restoration might be a long time coming, more than likely after more disorder and collapse. The Great Simplification might take a while--hence, The Long Emergency.
A Happy Wile E. Coyote Thanksgiving to all. TV
Bullshit!
1. Illegal tariffs? We will see what SCOTUS says. I have no problem with the POTUS trying to equalize the rip-off the world has been doing to the USA for decades. We cannot subsidize the world any more, it is driving us into bankruptcy.
2. Who is shredding the 1st amendment? Antifa, trying to destroy the USA with their destructive “protests”? The media with their totally biased reporting? The Dems shutting down the USA with their medical demands? Leftist madman shooting Kirk?
3. There has not been a declared war since Dec. 8, 1941. Trump has plenty of precedence. The Bretton Woods mentality still exits here, that the USA will care take the world. That needs to stop.
4. The deficit spending has been baked into the federal budget cake by 80 years of tax and spend. Mostly Democrat. Today, there is nowhere to cut without hurting millions. The latest tax and spend fiasco, the shutdown shows how close we are to collapse. We get to do it again in January.
5. You have no proof of this at all.
6. You are a joke on this one. There is no formal reception area, a ballroom, in the White House so he is building one. He is only there three more years, the ballroom is for posterity.
You are a dreamer about the next elections, cleaning up the ballot box elected Trump in ‘24, and the destruction of the Ult-Left will continue in ‘26 and ‘28.
The Federal Government should actually be funding itself with tariffs, not with income taxes.
I can't believe how so many people are getting their panties in a wad about a ballroom being added to the White House. Buildings get old and need to be renovated or removed and replaced. Just because it is the White House doesn't make it some sacred holy ground that can't be touched. People who are obsessing over this stupid ballroom are pissing me off, JohnAZ. There are more important things to obsess over, don't you agree?
Curing deficit spending will hurt millions but it has to happen. There is no alternative. Otherwise they continue to print worthless dollars and inflate our way into the Weimar republic. No nation that has tried to print its way out of its debt and spending problems has ended well.
The Left side has bargained away the spending picture by its “buying the vote” for three generations. The expenditures pie chart is loaded with items that are entitlements, payments to the people that are counted on now for subsistence.
There is so little discretionary funds remaining that no one can manipulate them. No matter what we cut, it will hurt millions.
So there is an item to discuss here, what can be cut without hurting millions and do something about the debt?
The shutdown was just the latest as the Left is busily trying to hide the fact that they are the Tax and Spend folks whose answer to everything is just to spend more and tax the rich. The Rich are NOT bottomless pits of capital.
No.
I'll offer you are looking at Left<>Right.
It keeps as many as possible off-balance with internecine focus, words and actions.
If it is changed to ↑↓ with freedom opposed to oppression, the real issues come into focus.
Changing the axis changes the perspective.
Unmasking the real culprits churning events with a goal of oppressing others for their own benefit emerges.

Guess Jim finally got tired of someone idiocy.
Then they'll just pick up where he left off.
Lauren Boebert for President in '28.
You are kidding right? Lauren Boebert? She's nothing more than an attention whore obsessed with her big boobs. Another woman. No more women in leadership. Please.
"No more women in leadership." ~ Cankerpuss
Agreed, unless they have big boobs.
Mr Clark----Lauren is not hard to look at but.....definitely not Prez material.
The rep that replaced Liz Cheny is not as easy to look at but I think she is smart as a whip.
Holy Shit, Jim, I have never read a more apt description between the male and female voting mentality and why women really shouldn't be voting and why women really shouldn't be in positions of leadership. I know you didn't say or explain this directly, but the way you described the difference is stark and worded in such a way that the slow of mind can understand.
"women taking over the actual machinery of the party has transformed mere politics into never-ending psychodrama and boosted the amplitude of political dirty-fighting to dangerous new levels"
Bingo. There it is. Women love drama. They do. I watch it with my wife, my sisters and my daughters. If there is drama to be held they will find it. I watch it with my female employees. They are constantly calling in sick or late because of home drama while my male employees are here every day, have ample annual leave accruals and are steadily reliable. WOMEN THINK DIFFERENTLY than men do.
"Regular order is something that healthy male psychology takes an interest in, since it entails defense of the culture"
Bingo! There it is again. A healthy man wants things to be in order and functional and he wants and takes effort to protect those things and to keep them functional and orderly.
Most women, other than the intelligent thinkers among them, have no place in politics and they shouldn't be voting. Period. Women, especially American women today, are insane. The mutilate themselves with tattoos and facial piercings and then wander the wastes of America barely clothed showing all their cellulose for all to see. They have no grasp on reality.
Excellent write up today, Jim. Thank you!
Oy vey. Give me a break! Granted, there’s a lot of chicken little idiotic women out there but own your shit and fix your messes, gentlemen.
I see his comment hit home, Dear.
Agree and add to that the feminization of males. They want a super majority. Don’t even have to get them over the border.

An excellent summation of where we are as a nation, and the picture is not pretty. Too many leftist loons and their useful idiots determined to bring down the nation of the most freedom to replace it with their authoritarian version of governance where only the elites and their toadies call the shots. They cannot, and will not win at the ballet box, so their plans for mass insurrections and even civil war remain as their final move. Armed and trained with firearms is a necessity as their assassinations and threats of killings continue. These satanic cretins are not joking. Stay safe and keep your family and friends safe.
Too many people with too much time on their hands and too much "money" to spend.
If Americans had to worry about where their next meal was coming from I think they'd be less inclined to worry about the bullshit they obsess about these days.
We've gone too long without having to sacrifice or work hard for anything and it shows. A decadent, slothful and soulless people Americans have become.
Leftist loons and rightist goons....take your pick.
The real and unstoppable war on America is run from the Federal Reserve bank. It will destroy our currency and society with it. It also funds all the dastardly deeds that our government does to us and covers the real sins that would be apparent without he magic of printed money flowing.
But as history proves, that sleight of hand can last only so long. Reality eventually wins and reality will comes in an instant. How did you go broke? Slowly at first and then all at once.
Yes, the printing of foney money will be our undoing. Most people just ignore this big fat stinky elephant that is sitting in the corner of their living rooms. I work hard for my money but my money now buys less and less every year.
They have no intention of stopping the money printing either. They can't. Their only alternative to keep the USA empire afloat is to print the worthless dollars. Mr. Trump himself won't address this money printing. He knows the truth and refuses to do anything about it.
Ron Paul understood and tried but he couldn't get enough support. He's the only one I know of who truly understood the danger of the FED.
Think of it. Since the advent of the FED, by the Woodrow Wilson administration, the USA has been in a constant state of war.
The Fed reacts to the inflation and unemployment caused by the alternating Tax and Spend policy of the Left and the austerity of the Right, The increased problems of today stem from the lack of austerity during the Bush administrations and the second term of Reagan. That is the rise of the Deep State.
Nope. Inflation has one source and it is the creation of "money" from nothing. That creation allows the spending of gov beyond their means and they will never stop until it's over.
The problems all start with the un-Constitutional power the government gave to the Federal Reserve. The gov would not have been able to run perpetual deficits without the printing press. That's why they created it.
Wilson was a Communist. He knew what he signed into law, the destruction of the Republic. I hope he's burning in Hell with John McCain and, if we're lucky, they will be joined shortly by Lindsey Graham.
Okay, so what is the inspiration for the Fed to create fiat money? Tax and spend politicians.
The Deep State has one priority, preservation of itself. Overspending money is the pathway. Think it is bad now? Wait for AI.
That Soros is still above ground is testament to the failure of covert ops by all Western executives.
He might live another ten or twenty years. Hell, he might live forever. David Rockefeller lived to 101 and supposedly had at least 6 heart transplants. When your soul is pure evil, you have to extend your time here on earth because you know where you're going when you die.

I’m shocked he hasn’t been taken out by some guy fed up whilst out deer hunting.
He probably never goes out where he could be taken out. I mean, have you seen a picture of the guy? He looks like a pasty white ghost under a sagging white sheet.
He is one of many that want a global dictatorship. The USA stands in their way and they are trying to eliminate the obstacle. Simple.
Now that is an assumption I agree with, JohnAZ.
He’s always looked like jabba the hut
We are 25% through the Trump presidency, with some questions as to what may follow (even within ‘MAGA’). I only hope that we don’t run out of time…..
yes, and the Dems tactic is pure "running down the clock."
Until 2026, much of his legacy will depend on next year. So vote.
MAGA and the GOP got the message during the off-year elections in November. Hopefully we'll dig deep and make the adjustments necessary to save our country. Something positive has to happen with the economy for sure.
It’s somewhat unlikely that election results in blue states, like NJ and NY, was much of a surprise. What IS a surprise is that the MAGA movement is being destroyed from within. The loss of a voice like Charlie Kirk has created a void where ‘influencers’ with questionable motives are attempting to take his place.
Anytime you hear the “our democracy” boilerplate know it is an intentional & faux sleight-of-hand; the United States was founded as a representational, constitutional republic not a democracy. The Founders hated democracy because it’s mob rule - there’s no electoral college. In a democracy L.A., Chicago, & NYC would solely & completely pick the president. Democracies always end in dictatorship & that’s what they seek.
Control of you & everything you do.
Even lower than Democracy is rule by a foreign nation. That where we are. It's what dumbocracy led to.
With all due respect sir, trump himself is doing a pretty fabulous job of destroying Trumpism all by himself. 0 arrests, 600,000 Chinese students, h1b visas, hiding October jobless reports...most of that is just last week. I can go on and on... supporting Lindsey graham, wars galore, 50 year mortgages. What a disappointment he's been.
That is all very true. What happened to America First?
"crypto-Jacobin overtones"
JHK infuses his writings with references to the French revolution on a fairly regular basis. Studying this period of time and the sequence of events in Europe can be instructive and bear similarity to the present state of affairs both here and in the Europe (EU) of today.

The future is here.
Look at Mamdani. What is he advocating? Control all aspects of the economy by the government, ie the PTB control everything. The Dems are showing their true face here, socialism IS autocracy, fascism or communism, whatever you want to call it. The affordability issues he is “addressing” has been caused by Leftist policies in Blue states and cities, the giveaway mentality. When the money runs out and the Dems debacle shows itself, the enemy is the “Rich”. Just wait until you see what happens in NYC when Mamdani finds out he has no tools to work with and what is left of the financial support moves to Texas and Florida. BTW, same thing in California.
John puts the rich in quotation marks. Why? The Rich all too often are the enemy. Fascism values them but keeps them on a short leash. John asks impatiently, So are the rich good or not? He doesn't get it. He thinks that they are - and that's fatal.
Bullshit! Your archenemy, the rich, create the jobs and make the economy. Not the stupid government. If the government disappeared tomorrow, no one would care. If Elon Musk et al, disappeared tomorrow, there would be no economy.
Male bovine excrement.
You are clutching at straws now mate!

Here at home I opined ZM would be the next NYC mayor, met with 'not likely'. Turns out it is a pattern. A few hours North, MA (Healey, Campbell + Dem supermajority legislature and compliant court system) are from the same mould.
The demographic exiting MA is the 25-44 age group.
The pattern: create a problem, then find a grift, graft and state tyranny solution. Point fingers in any direction excluding self. Search for ways to blame DJT for everything, facts don't matter.
So... NYC will be an interesting experiment. Staten Island may yet decouple from the other boroughs.
BTW, how's the Hobbs experiment doing down there?
Like the Whites forming their own city in Atlanta, never talking about it in racial terms of course - even though it is.
Kudos Kunstler for a succinct summary and a prescient prediction.
By the way, it is the Democrat party. Not the ‘Democratic’ party.
Or my preference, Demoncrap Party.
"What began in 2016 as a simple, high-level plot to take out Donald Trump and squash Trumpism — a grassroots revolt against those very high-level DC insiders"
Trump's dismissal of the Epstein scandal as a "hoax" sure looks like the very opposite of a revolt against insiders. Instead it looks like Trump is protecting them at his own expense.
But maybe you're right and it's a trap for Democrats. Let's hope so, because it's the only way to keep any confidence in Trump.
If it never plays out as a trap, then Trump has proved himself as complicit as any of the insiders in maintaining elite power over the plebes.

The democrat party seems now to be composed of two groups; true believers and grifters/opportunists. In the former group, which is by far the largest, are feminists, racialists, sexual deviants and every other lunatic falling within the definition of "social justice warrior." In the latter group are the hard core grifting global elite; the Soros, Clinton, Schumer et al. group who are actually running the show for their personal financial benefit. They view the true believers as disposable cannon fodder to be used along with the shock troops of imported foreigners against the traditional American citizens. Neither group views itself as citizens of America; they are above mere patriotism. They owe their allegiance only to themselves and their petty, private interests.
