Mr. Kunstler has a way of saying it so perfectly. This statement alone sums up the mental acuity of anyone who considers themself to be a Democrat. No knowledge based on anything other than what their favorite leftist talking heads tell them. God I love reading Mr. Kunstler. Whether I agree with him or not, the man has a way of describing things using words my mind can never come up with.
The first paragraph made me laugh out loud! Such succinct analysis and writing so glorious…love reading Mr. Kunstler and look forward to his missives. ❤️
He is my bi-weekly fix. I was out of town the last week and missed three of his postings. I almost went into withdrawal. I don't always agree with JHK but I need my Monday and Friday morning fix, to be sure :)
Are you serious? The second Trump administration's every move, every breath, and every waking moment has been devoted to breaking the constitutional order. To wit, it is Congress that makes law, which the President is obligated to faithfully execute. It is Congress that holds the power to appropriate and spend funds; the president may not refuse to spend funds that have been appropriated by Congress. This is the black-letter constitutional design, unchanged since the Revolution.
Trump and his administration are simply plowing through all that: gutting agencies, openly declaring that the law is what the president says it is, that the president has 'plenary power'. The word 'autocrat' means a single person who holds all power and rules by decree (a dictator).
Jesus, why do you even object? JHK openly declares this is what's happening, and he's glad to see it because the majority of Americans have too much freedom, and the constitutional design that preserves that freedom is an impediment to fixing things to your satisfaction.
Anger, not hatred. Anger is 100% appropriate when directed against a target as destructive as the Trump administration. They aren't just wrapping dynamite around foundational pillars of freedom and democracy, they have already detonated several and have no intention of stopping.
It is obvious from your diatribes that you are just another TDSer who does not have a clue what they are talking about.
One question shuts you down, Does Biden’s Mob control of all parts of the government with its obvious socialistic, global, autocratic control emulate the totalitarian desires of the Democrat Party, no actually only the Ult- Left part. Fetterman emulates the moderate Dems, telling the Bernie boys to eff off.
Trump. As a champion of the Joe Average folks, sees the incompetence of the federal government that exists right now and is trying to get consensus to get things done that need to be done. he has predecessors who faced the same incompetence when he was elected, Franklin Roosevelt, who also tried to use executive power to get the necessary work done.
You just use Trump’s activism to justify your socialist gimme TDS.
I look at what would be happening today if the Dems had gotten control. We would be heading for the collapse of the Constitution.
so far I believe DJT has honored every court order levied against his actions. is that now the acid test of whether he oversteps legit executive authority? last I read 115 cases brought against him. maybe you don't really understand the law??
"Honouring" anything couldn't be more alien to Donald Trump's character, or his approach to governance. A more accurate way to put it would be that Trump has tried to get away with such an enormous amount of overreach that he is a severe and urgent threat to the rule of law itself. He just hasn't gotten away with everything he's tried to pull, because the rule of law isn't fully dead yet; it's just on the ropes.
Each court case that rules against the WH he waits for it to go through the courts before his next move.Unlike Biden when the courts rules against the forgiveness of student loans he stated he was going to ignore the ruling.The Trump WH has yet taken the action that the Fiden WH took.
One more, Trump will probably be succeeded by JD Vance. MAGA will put in more protections against socialism and globalism which you obviously favor.
“You will not covet anything that is your neighbors”. Your Leftist beliefs are based on socialistic thieves in government stealing capital from people who earned it and giving it to people who are gimme. Envy, wanting to have what your “neighbor” has, is an affront to God. Of course, that is if the Ult-Left can get beyond their own egos to believe in a higher morality other than themselves.
"Constitutional order? Yah, the deep state is clearly articulated in that document." Um, I can't tell from this what your actual position is? My own position is very much in favour of the rule of law (so, thumbs-up constitution) and against imperialism (thumbs-down deep state). Just so you know where I stand.
Regarding your other point, I'm truly dismayed that I, personally, am so smug that I have brought Canada to... your problem, whatever it is. Imagine my chagrin. And here was me thinking the biggest problem we have right now is the assault on our economy and our sovereignty by the superpower next door.
Lets see Congress has been giving up it's powers to every 3/4 letter agency to make laws/dictum's a power they do not possess for the last fifty years.I do not worry about Canada and you keep your nose out of mine....oh ...climate change is BS and man made scam to loot pockets.
That is so much BS. The Deep State’s prime objective is to can the Constitution and create a government centered society in the USA. To protect their own federal society. You do not believe in the rule of law, just what you believe the law says. That is so Dem.
A great example is the border. The Dem rule 2020 to 2024 just ignored the law in its opening up the USA to invasion. They did what they wanted. NYC Ag and judges had to make up laws to attack Trump, another example of the Left’s defiance of the laws.
Poor little Canada, they had their chance to work with the USA and Mexico to create an economic power in North America. Then the real deal arose, the “screw America” syndrome in Ottawa. Trump is the result and the America First movement here is going to shut the Leftist, European, socialist Ottawa government down. How? By absorbing the rebels in Alberta et al.
My God, the Trump administration does not even use the bathroom without consulting its attorneys. Never has. Stick to Canada, why doncha? And, while I realize that being Green has absolutely nothing to do with the actual environment, quit setting yourselves on fire. The smoke was horrible here in Wisconsin this past summer, too.
Oh, my apologies. Is my country being on fucking fire a cause of annoyance for you? I do humbly beg your forgiveness, memsahib.
And I'll 'stick to Canada' after Donald Trump apologizes for attacking our sovereignty by calling our border an imaginary line, steps down from office, and dies in obscurity. Not one minute sooner.
Trump took office on January 20, and by February 4 had taken all the following actions:
- Shut down USAID without Congressional approval. Founded in 1961 by executive order of JFK, it was re-constituted as an independent agency by act of Congress in 1998 (the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act). Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. constitution states that the president 'shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed', said laws being enacted by Congress as per Article I Section 1, making this act of executive fiat a transgression of existing law.
- Created an extra-constitutional pseudo-agency 'DOGE', enabling a billionaire oligarch to raid the federal government's data systems. DOGE claimed impoundment powers, i.e. powers to delay or deny spending of funds appropriated by Congress. Under Article I, Section 9, Congress holds exclusive power over appropriation, and the 1974 Impoundment Control Act curtails presidential attempts to unilaterally withhold funds. What makes this an even clearer example of executive overreach is that DOGE's governing structure was made deliberately unclear, specifically to cloud the issue of standing in any legal filing. It's hard to pursue overreach in court when the executive has made sure there's no clear line of responsibility.
- The Office of Personnel Management acted beyond its authority in offering buyouts to millions of federal employees. Laws implicated include the Anti-Deficiency Act and the Administrative Leave Act.
It is the Congress that makes the laws. That is correct, until the Congress becomes incompetent and uses filibuster rules, as an example, to make itself useless. Presidents, both Dem and GOP, have used the EO pad to try to get things that need to be done, done. The fine line between law making and execution contributes to the mix. Congress as intended to be a wise body where intelligence would rule to set the legal agenda for the country. Party politics has turned it into a clown filled circus where bartenders are seriously thinking of running for president.
Not just the Congress, but the NGOs and the media have turned the representative government into Barnum and Bailey.
Lousy representation by the people’s congress always leads to the PTB taking over, authoritarianism. The huge difference here is that the Ult-Left are anti-Constitutional and want the USA to turn into an authoritarian global state.
George Carlin knew what the scam of voting in the USA was all about a long time ago....
"Now there’s one thing you might have noticed I don’t complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from “another reality”. They come from American parents, and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities. And they’re elected by American citizens. This is the best the USA can do folks.
This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in. Garbage out. … If you have selfish ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish ignorant leaders.
So maybe… maybe… MAYBE, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here like: “THE PUBLIC”. Yeah, the public sucks. There’s a nice campaign slogan for somebody: “the public sucks, fuck hope”. Fuck hope. Because if it’s really just the fault of these politicians, then where are all the other bright people of conscience?
Where are all the bright, honest, intelligent Americans ready to step in and save the nation and lead the way?
We don’t have people like that in this country. Everybody’s at the mall scratching his ass, picking his nose, taking out his credit card out of a Fannie-pack, and buying a pair of sneakers with lights in them.
So, I have solved this little political dilemma for myself in a very simple way: on election-day, I-STAY-HOME. I don’t vote. Fuck ’em. FUCK THEM. I don’t vote......It’s meaningless. This country was bought and sold and paid for a long time ago. The shit they shuffle around every four years doesn’t mean a fuckin’ thing."
As an aside, those same authors have concluded it's specifically the Republican party that is the problem. They wrote this back in 2012:
"We have been studying Washington politics and Congress for more than 40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional. In our past writings, we have criticized both parties when we believed it was warranted. Today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party.
"The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.
"When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the country’s challenges."
Things have now gotten far, far worse. And Trump/MAGA's proposed "solution" is not to fix the failed institution, but to break the constitutional order entirely? If I were an American, I would be livid with them and anyone who supports them. Not being an American, I will simply view them with cold contempt, as your founding fathers would.
As for your 'ult-Left' remark, you're simply deluded. It is the Trump administration, aided and abetted by a captured Supreme Court, who are right this minute visibly engaged in a coup against the constitution: your 'powers-that-be'. Dude, the Republic party currently has the White House, both houses of Congress, and has successfully stacked the Supreme Court with so-called "justices" who have declared the president completely immune from the law. Can you please stop and think about these things before railing about the 'ult-Left' who are absolutely powerless?
Well, you have spoken as a true representative of socialism, it is obvious that you believe the source of all intelligence for a society resides in its government.
You do not have enough fingers and toes to count the number of societies that have come and gone by that belief. The John Lockean influence on the Founders created a Constitution that says that the government is the servant of the people, not vice versa. The Dems believe just the opposite.
Are you confusing the RINO GOP with the MAGA GOP? They are very different.
Do please enlighten us about the "damage" being done.
You won't be able to copy and paste for this exercise and having a clue might help Dennis.
I eagerly await your well researched and considered opinion and not viewpoints of a screeching cat lady who wandered around the no kings mess in a dinosaur or frog costume.
If you don't think telling people they must drive EVs by a certain date or eliminate gas appliances, or get a shot or get out, isn't dictatorial, then I don't know what is.
Double negatives aside, this is straining outs gnats while swallowing camels. I'm old enough to remember people bitching when they added buzzers to cars if you didn't fasten your seat belt, or not being able to use leaded gas anymore. Only back then, bitching was all they did -- they didn't try to blow up the democratic order and install a dictator. And a lot fewer people died as a result.
Gasoline cars instead of EVs, gas stoves instead of electric -- these aren't fundamental freedoms. They're consumer preferences. Making a political issue out of them is just people with power distracting you from real problems you have that they won't solve, because solving them would cost them money.
You're seriously proposing that consumer preferences are just as significant as life, liberty, and security of person? As significant as freedom of speech and assembly? As freedom of thought and religion?
In a thousand years, I couldn't possibly clown you any more than you have just clowned yourself.
Freedom of choice ~ one day dumb Americans will wake up to find that all the gas stations are out of gas. There is no more left!
Happy motoring will fall off a cliff.
Instead of being handled in a planned taper to another energy source that sees travelling in a car being able to be continued and maintained.
Just like banning lead in gasoline and catalytic converters were banned by the gubmint. It had to be done.
That's a responsible governments job. "The people" won't do these things until they arrive at the edge of the cliff! That's "Freedom of choice" baby! LOL
Hey , we agree 100% on this post. I say once in a while, that JHK is right and we should not spend a lot of time worrying about the effects of FF on the climate. We need to find better ways to create energy because this one (FF) is going away in a couple of generations.
Last time I checked Canada has a border they enforce just sixty miles north of here. Where would you like us to repatriate your amigos? How many rooms can you spare, eh, hoser?
Last time I checked, two things were happening: 1. MAGA was driving itself to distraction over migrants coming over its southern border. 2. Donald Trump was repeatedly referring to the Canadian border as an 'artificially drawn line' and saying the U.S. would use economic coercion to force us to become the '51st state'.
Get your head straight and treat my border with the same respect you treat your own, and we might have something to talk about. Till then, you've got some fucking nerve lecturing me, 'amigo'.
Look out, people, we've got an intellectual giant here.
I have the enormous good fortune of being a Canadian, living in Canada. For many years, it was entertaining to watch a minority of Americans drive themselves berzerk over culture war issues, until they had convinced themselves they were the only legitimate Americans. It's a lot less funny now that your institutions are in serious collapse, and you're being openly predatory of your nominal allies.
I sincerely hope 'No Kings' prevails and the guilty parties get put on trial. But that's far less important to me than my own country's survival in the face of America's implosion.
'While the country burns down around me'? Uh, do you mean the actual forest fires that are a major reason I'm a Green (hint: climate change is real)? If not, then citation needed.
Climate fluctuations is a more accurate description of what the climates of the world have been doing since the beginning of everything. Everyone knows climate fluctuates; we intelligent ones know that government involvement in climate is all a hoax.
The climate always changes. If you believe the current changes are existential, it's because you're clueless about curating data to make bogus predictions that mislead the clueless. Here's a clue:
I loved The Friendly Giant too. I look back on my childhood memories fondly. But I'm a grown-up now. If my opinions are clashing with your gauzy childhood memories, that's not my problem.
Ah right Canadian no wonder you're so full of shit.
Must be something in the water up there.
Hint pull your head out of your ass and put it in a big bucket of cold water just remember to pull it out and breath once in a while or those last two or three brain cells will die.
Thank you, excellent and sane account of the situation. One reason I've observed why the Democrats — at least the corrupt idiot Democrats who run my small California city — are loathe to let Ukraine go towards peace is it gave them the chance to wear blue and yellow to any meeting with their taxpayers. That way they remind those of us who pay their exorbitant salaries for breaking what doesn't need fixing, that we are the fortunate ones who should give up all our rights so they can help Ukraine along with the homeless, Antifa, BLM. Yes, my very own county supervisor deigned to meet with some of us who are unhappy with her pot nursery policies and came decked out in Ukraine blue and yellow.
Polly, to be fair, there is a large wing of the Republican Party -- led by Senator Graham and championed by Fox News -- who take a very aggressive stance toward Russia. Apparently they think Russia will take any sort of provocation without a response, which is a dangerous position considering Russia's 6000 nuclear warheads (which is the elephant in the room)
"Light-in-his-Loafers" Lindsey Graham needs to be sent to the front line. Then we'll see how aggressive he is. He's always so excited about the thought of shedding the American blood of our sons and daughters on foreign soil. Fuck him and the carousel pony he rode in on.
Of course. In order to justify a military budget that exceeds the combined military budget of at least half of the leading countries around the world, they must have a war somewhere to fight.
Last year, one of my sons came to me and was telling me how evil Russia is for invading Ukraine and how the USA is justified to be sending Ukraine cash and weapons. I patiently listened to what he was saying. He then asked me that question that I eagerly await but often never hear. "Dad, what do you think?" He asked me.
I looked my tall boy in the eyes and I asked him one question. I asked him if he has ever at any time in his 22 years of life on this ruined planet if he has been threatened, harmed, harassed or otherwise injured by anyone from or inside of Ukraine or Russia.
You know what he said? "No." The conversation was over. My son immediately understood that we have no business being involved in a war there. Nor did we have any business being involved in a war in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Koreas, Syria, Yemen, Gaza, Israel or any other sovereign nation.
The only country we should be at war with is Mexico for permitting millions of hepatitis and tuberculosis ridden migrants to cross their country and cross their northern border. But I digress. Have I been harassed or otherwise threatened by one of these? Yes, I have. So why are we not making war on Mexico and telling them to get the act together? Perhaps because our government profits immensely from its "war on drugs" which comes from Mexico? Hmmmm......
It's all about the money. It is always about the fucking money. God I hate money. You would think humanity would have evolved past this obsession with fucking money by now. Like a deer can't evolve to avoid cars on a highway, humans can't evolve to get over their obsession and lust for money, an obsession which continues to bring us to ruin, depression and death.
I don't believe that Graham, et al think any particular thing about Russia. They are simply owned and/or blackmailed by the war machine, so they just take whatever position they are told to take.
"Hence, Mr. Trump’s dilemma: how to dissociate from this losing proposition and come out looking like a winner, saving Europe from becoming a smoldering ashtray, stanching the flow of US taxpayers’ money and US-made weapons into this black hole, and forging friendly relations with a Russia that is decades beyond being our ideological enemy?"
Jim nicely whitewashes the profiteering of the US' "war machine" in this mess. Previously known as 'Defence Contractors' (back when they supplied arms to the US Department of Defence), these 'War Contractors' made out like bandits (yet again) with this Obama/Biden war ... and you can be pretty darn sure that Graham et al. get their cut.

Phil I did not see any whitewashing more like you are trying to stir a pot knowing what I believe that JHK despises the DS and the MIC as much as most of the readers here on the blog do.The MIC was first brought up by Eisenhower in a speech back in the 50's and JFK saw the link of the CIA and MIC when he mentioned "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds".JFK's administration put into motion some directives just for that the rest is history.The DS, needs to be crushed CIA broken/splintered and the FBI reorganized.
Yup, and they killed him for it. That one act in 1963 has affected every president since. Another anti-Deep State president, Reagan, also almost bought the farm. Violence controls much of the government’s activity. The same groups fought Trump in the courts, then tried to assassinate him twice, and he is still going strong. I send a message, kill Trump and you will get Vance, frying pan into fire syndrome.
True Americans are rejecting the invasion of the Left,
Except when Argentina needs a few extra billions we just happen to have lying around.
And "true Americans" don't demonize other Americans who differ from them, or go around making up insipid fairy tales about 'invasions' rather than engaging in respectful debate. Unless they've forgotten (or never learned) what the American experiment was intended to foster.
Jim whitewashed nothing. However, he was remiss in not mentioning the profiteering of the US' "war machine" in this mess. Previously known as 'Defence Contractors' (back when they supplied arms to the US Department of Defence), these 'War Contractors' made out like bandits (yet again) with this Obama/Biden war ... and you can be pretty darn sure that Graham et al. get their cut.
The War Machine. Yes, that's a reasonable explanation, but probably not limited to the Legislative Branch.
A result of that may be is that "Mr. Trump" is more than a single entity, whose influence results from unknown sources, and is at odds with what's obviously best for the sane and majority. Unlike "Joe Biden" as our host often mentioned, "Mr. Trump" is publicly much more on the ball and can think on his feet, but realistically it appears he also answers to parties higher up on the chain of command. Parties with the real power, parties with the vast majority of wealth.
This translates to slouching toward solutions, and keeping eyes off the economy, resource depletion, the Long Emergency picking up speed, the advancement of the digital control grid, the aftermath of the Plandemic and Jabs and other predicaments in modern life.
Ending hostile actions and violence is a good thing, but it's not easy for me to give credit to those involved - if I believe they answer to the same boss(es) that created the conflict in the first place.
Now you are getting somewhere. You are talking about the ooooold money. The real power. The Rockefellers, Carnegies, Morgans, Chases and Rothchilds. These people own the banks that fund and finance the billionaires like Bezos, Gates and Musk.
I wouldn't even be surprised if the old money families are even just another public layer in between the regular people and The Puppet Masters. When you have trillions at your disposal, you can get an unlisted phone numbers....and unlisted bank accts, unlisted property ownership, etc. The millionaire next door just might be the trillionaire hiding in plain sight....
I'm sure many on the Left are similarly purchased or blackmailed, but often, it seems that Lefties are so committed to zealously pursuing evil that they are willing to do it simply so they can kill and punish normal people.
I do think he's an order-taker. I think Putin, the last great statesman on the world stage, knows it, and won't negotiate with him in 100% seriousness. At some point, Putin may finally say, *Take me to your leader*. That said, Putin also has others to answer to, but I think he's still the ultimate decision maker, whereas DJT is not.
Neo-Cons. And that means Jews or those owned by them. That means Trump. So no, expect no sanity from Trump either in this regard. Two Jewish families control our foreign policy. They hate Russia, above and beyond coveting its resources.
Russia should be our greatest ally, and could have been by now had the deep state not facilitated the installation of the one zombie that almost half the country thought was great guy! Trump is dismantling it brick by brick, but we will be responsible for taking out the rubble.
I'd say he's walking a tightrope. That infamous dinner where he just praised and teased Miriam Adelson?
He broke the ultimate taboo - he not only said the forbidden, he said it without portents of doom or reverence. And they ate it up! He has broken the ice, and now we can simply make fun again of those who must not be criticized - as they so adroitly do themselves.
All excellent points. To me it seems Russia is not a country to be f*kid with. History shows us that. War with Russia, if it came to it, would not be like fighting Saddam Hussein's ragtag army, no, it would be real peer warfare like likes we haven't seen since Dec. 1950 at the frozen Chosin Reservoir on the Chinese border ... and how do you think Russia would respond if it sensed it was losing? Surrender? Try to make nice? Let by gones be by gones? I seriously doubt it.
Yes you are correct about Russian military failure when they try to project power outside its borders. A few examples of that would be Japan in 1905, East Prussia in 1914, and Poland in 1920. Even the invasion of Finland in 1939 was not smooth going, even tho they did prevail In those 4 instances they got beat up pretty bad. But in defense of the Motherland on Russian soil in 1812, 1916, 1939 in Siberia against Japan & 1941 the Russians fought like demons.
Sum it up? When cultures try to expand their domains over other peoples, it does not work well. The Romans used crucifixion to dissuade folks from trying to defend their value systems, and it did not work much of the time.
Russia has been attacked from all directions over the centuries, the Poles, the Cossacks, the Mongols, the Europeans, and are justly paranoid about allowing anyone to invade. Russia would never put up with the BS the Mayorkas WH foisted on the USA. China, Georgia, Chechnya, NATO. Until Putin invaded Eastern Ukraine, Russia had not tried to invade anyone even after 14 nations joined NATO. All debates have two sides.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has held power in Russia since 2000. His first two presidential terms stretched from 2000 to 2008. And with the Russian constitution forbidding more than two consecutive presidential terms ~ he switched places with his Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev, until 2012, when he won his third Presidential election. As of 2022 Putin enjoyed his fourth term. And was re-elected for a fifth 6-year term in a democratic election in 2024.
So, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has held power in Russia, (not the USSR), for 24-years now. In that time how many countries has he initiated military interventions in? Let's us count the ways:
•In 1994 Russia intervened in the two bloody secessionist wars in Chechnya secessionist wars. The hostilities began in 1994, (before Putin was PM) when Moscow went into this territory that had proclaimed its independence in 1991, a month before the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, signed the demise of the USSR. The intervention ended in 1996 with the withdrawal of the Russian Army, the disarmament of the guerrilla, and initiating a process of self-determination.
A chain of attacks occurred in 1999 in Russia and in the neighbouring Russian Republic of Dagestan, which Moscow attributed to Chechen terrorists. In February 2000 Russia seized Grozny, while hostilities continued, which the Kremlin officially ended in 2009.
•In 2008 Georgian troops attacked Tskhinval, the capital of South Ossetia. This triggered the intervention of Russian military forces in support of the South Ossetian militias and forced the Georgians to withdraw. The conflict lasted five days. Two weeks later, Russia recognized the independence of the two territories.
• In 2012 The Kyrgyz government asked Russia to send peacekeepers to control the situation in the Kyrgyz city of Osh, where armed clashes between Kyrgyz and Uzbeks occurred. Russian troops have remained in Kyrgyzstan ever since and has been Kyrgyzstans main ally since. In 2017 the two countries agreed to extend the Russian presence for another 15 years.
•In 2005 Syrian President Bashar al-Assad requested military assistance from Russia initiating an intervention with the Russian Air Force airstrikes in Syria against Islamic State positions. In December 2017 Putin announced the defeat of the Islamic State in Syria as the last jihadist positions on both sides of the Euphrates River were destroyed. On December 11, Putin ordered the withdrawal of Russian troops.
•In January 2022 Kazakhstan was the scene of massive protests. Resulting in riots in Almaty, repressed by Kazakh forces. 10,000 were arrested. To quell the terrorist threat the country’s president, Kasim-YomartTokayev, requested help from the Russian-led post-Soviet military alliance, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). The organization’s members sent 2,000 Russin troops, who left the country days later once order was restored.
•Ukraine. To argue that Putin was not provoked, and was the aggressor in this current ‘war’ is grossly dishonest. And just not true.
A pathetic list by any criteria. So much for Vladimir Putin being a megalomaniac warmongering Dictator wanting to emulate Hitler’s goal of taking over Europe! Compared to the many illegal wars of aggression for regime change conducted by the US in the same period Russia is a rank novice!
Putin has always been democratically elected and never shown any intention of expansionism in his 25-years in power. Why would he want to do so now? And he has no intention of and is not foolish enough to take on NATO and the US in WW3.
Today, it is putting a ballroom into the White House. Oh, boy, Trump bad. The View looks like a group of idiots, “It is the People’s house. He is destroying the People’s house”. TDS, anyone?
Cogent and sober assessment, James. It does come down to our material and financial support. And from what I've heard, Trump provided Zelensky with a reality check when they met on Friday, so one can imagine that he's laid the groundwork for a real breakthrough at Budapest. As for the coterie of lunatics who may shout and scream that Trump "lost" Ukraine, one need only reply with "Afghanistan" and "Biden" in the same breath to quell such ramblings. But in fact, the Ukraine was never "ours" to lose. Regardless, Trump is beyond trying to win the hearts of the left, so what difference does it make? There will be peace in Ukraine despite the efforts of our NATO "allies" to fight to the last Ukrainian.
Trump needs to crush the Left, not win their hearts. Today’s Left is anti-American, not just liberal. Did you see that Mamdani has met with one of the Mullahs involved with 9/11. He has put out his agenda plain and simple and the real problem is that the NYC denizens buy it. Has the heart of America turned that far Leftist????
How does anyone know a Mullah was involved in 9/11? The entire official story is a clown car. They did install an ISIS leader in Syria recently though. That is another shining jewel in the current admin's crown.
Installing ISIS/Al Qaeda in Syria was another of those joint projects of the US/UK/Israel. The UK has just revoked HTS' status as a proscribed (terrorist) organisation, even though they're killing and persecuting minorities all over Syria. Our thick-as-a-post (being polite here) Foreign Secretary went to Syria to welcome Jolani into the fold while his organisation was still proscribed in the UK. One law for me; another for thee ...
Meanwhile, criticising Israel in any way is verboten and carrying a Palestine Action placard can get old-age pensioners jailed, even though Palestine Action is not a terrorist organisation. This is just the start, as the control grid tightens.
Yes, I definitely see the protests being used to shut down free speech in both the UK and US. They’ve got the “conservatives” and “liberals” at each other's throats and unwittingly providing justification to remove their own rights (once again).
It is easy to get black pilled watching this stuff over and over.
It was Turkey that enabled the ISIS guy Julani to take over Syria. But Trump is praising him, just as our European allies always appease Turkey, given its advantageous location and airspace.
Because a group of passengers on flight 93 texted that “Mullah” inspired Arabs were involved before they crashed into West Pennsylvania. One of four that day.
Yes. They have. They are captured by the welfare state. The upper middle class and above still are old dogs with their indoctrinated children in the Age of Aquarius, as JHK aptly states.
"from what I've heard, Trump provided Zelensky with a reality check when they met on Friday"
Surely the Green T-Shirt knew immediately upon descending the stairs of his plane that something was amiss. Like no Americans greeting him. Just his own entourage and pilots!
We've been down this road before. Trump comes to this point and then returns to the beginning saying something like, Ukraine needs to defend itself. Then he sends more weapons. The Russians obviously don't take him very seriously at this point. They are going to have to win by their own strength and they will do just that.
Top drawer analysis...on the mark...James should educate VDH on the genesis of this proxy war and what it is about...the coke addict Zelensky could have stopped at any time...but the Azovs...they're the real personal threat...and so he continues the slaughter of every walking male in his coke assisted euphoria..
They may have asked IMF for a loan but they really need the war because of the Russian frozen assets...and the interest...they have or are dipping into that...when the war comes to an end, Russia will want it back...Do they still have it all? The EU and UK have idiots in charge...primarily women and beta males.
How does one end a war they are not actively fighting in?
Money and projecting your own power this takes time and if there is no leverage to be applied or both sides are more interested in saving face and acting like fools?
Every time someone around this writer (USMC Infantry Officer circa ‘70’s-80’s) says “we stand with Ukraine” he asks okay then, when are you leaving? The bold bravado of the beltway warriors DaNang Dick Bummenthal and that leader of men John “I was in the room” Bolton harken to a day when talk was cheap and sheep were sheep. These morons. The war is lost, the west as we have known it is lost. We here in the States have a chance, abet slim, of salvaging our own spheres of influence which are specifically in OUR national interests. Monroe Doctrine 2.0 and tell Western Europe have fun storming the castle and see you in the semi finals. Enough. Pull the money from the Middle East, pull the money from NATO and ask the UN to move to Brussels to occupy the empty buildings left by NATO and the collapsed EU. Have open bids revitalize that mess down in Turtle Bay. Or just turn the UN building into the Mamdani Shopping Mall. Story after story of empty selves that from the outside look nice. Speaking of good luck….good luck NY City there is no one coming to rescue you when the tent starts burning down…
Shelves aren't empty in the USA. The problem is that the prices keep spiraling. Have you priced a bag of Cheetos lately?
Speaking as a Canadian, I am shall we say less than thrilled by 'Monroe Doctrine 2.0'. For over 200 years, we've had friendly relations and productive trade with our southerly neighbours. But now, POTUS talks like he's feeling peckish and oh look, here's a bucket of chicken wings within arm's reach. The American empire has been such a fat, grease-sweaty thing. Don't you think a diet could do you some good?
I just spent a week in the shithole state called California trying to visit a few of the barely operating national parks there. Good God what a massive dump that state is. I come from Utah where things are still new and shiny and well kept, for the most part. A gas station in Utah is big, spacious, clean and a place where one feels comfortable stopping for a quick drink and a pit stop. California? Oh my good lord! Gas stations there are relegated to the corner of random intersections with four pumps out front. When one walks in they are met with angry stares from pissed off at the world immigrant from India or Bangladesh who barely speaks English. When one enters the restroom to do some personal business they leave feeling like they need a hepatitis shot. Businesses are boarded up. Businesses that are still open are run down and look like they were just transported from Matamoros Mexico. Homes are falling apart because the residents can't afford to keep them in a state of good repair. Hell, even Oregon was better than California. The Golden State? My big fat ass it is! What a depressed dump. No wonder any self respecting California is bailing for other states and leaving that dump to the angry immigrants who hate everyone and everything.
Anyway, my point, when I went into one of these shitty gas stations to buy my favorite treat, a Mounds candy bar, I was shocked at the price. $3.69! Not for a King size. No, this was a regular size candy bar. A small bag of Doritos chips? $5.50.
I actually found one gas station, it was a dump like all the rest, that was staffed by a friendly white dude. He was kind, polite and seemed happy to have me in his shop. I loaded up on chips, drinks and candy bars just because the dude was happy to have me in his facility. I didn't feel like he wanted to kill me for having the nerve to buy a candy bar in his filthy shop like all the other gas stations with the Indians and Bangladeshis.
And why, pray tell, do you imagine that the parks might be barely operating at this particular moment in time? Because "California is a shithole state"? Lol. Tell us you've never taken an offramp that wasn't strictly necessary according to your theme park itinerary. Good lord, the willful ignorance is strong with some.
California is what happens when the immigrants take away a big chunk of the tax base of the state. State services deteriorate, ability to give security, (wildfires for example) declines.
I really like the idea that we pass laws to take care of homelessness, that is just a joke. What laws? Put them all in Sacramento?
I remember a report about ten year ago where a Black state legislator was being interviewed from California. He was asked about the outflowing of businesses from California and the middle class with them. His return was that it was a good thing as it allowed more room for more immigrants. What a fool.
The residue that is left from the outflow of businesses are now living on the streets.
The mascot for the California university system should be Alfred E. Newman, What me worry.
Sidebar, then we have Hollywood. Ever wonder why Hollywood hates Trump? He is cutting them off from easy access to drugs, the lubricant of the scum in Hollywood.
There's a genre of social media post consisting of a photograph of a long queue to buy bread or the like, with the caption: "This is life under socialism".
There's another genre of post that consists of a long litany of social realities that make the poster scared, anxious or grumpy, while pointing a finger at their perceived enemies saying, "You caused this!!!"
Some sensible person comes along and points out, "This is life under capitalism". And they look at you like you've got a hole in your head. But where's the lie?
People are drugged out? Provide treatment programs.
Homeless camps? Enact laws to address homelessness. Build low-cost homes with decent quality. End policies that reward housing scarcity. Go full Georgist! Tax land sales to end speculators bidding up the price of homes and pricing younger generations out. Make homes places to live again.
Trash? Pay to clean it. Pay for enforcement against people who dump it.
Illegal aliens' ... driving habits? Gonna need a citation for this one, hoss. Anyway, Joe Biden deported far, far more people than any MAGA adherent will ever give him credit for:
That includes carrying on Trump's Title 42 policies. By ICE's own report, In fiscal 2024 under Biden they removed 271,484 people, more than the ~267,000 they removed under Trump in 2019 or 185,884 in 2020:
(Remember, that's ICE's own report. Don't think it was written by commies.)
Gas prices! Who says you have a god-given right to the cheapest gas possible? Ever consider living somewhere walkable? Roads, ditto! Urbanism and walkability was what got me reading and listening to JHK's podcasts, back before he went MAGA-deranged. I miss those days.
$32 for two frozen yogurts? Supply and demand, chief. No one forced you to pay the going rate. Just go get popsicles, it's not like you had cancer or something.
Finally, the 'stupid illegal alien'? Need two citations there, and really, really need a third one for $25 an hour. Seriously, how on earth do you know this? Did you ask the guy? On what planet do illegal aliens have the bargaining power to get $25 an hour out of a frozen yogurt shop? What union represents him? The whole damn reason a shop selling frozen yogurt at $16 a pop hires an illegal alien is because the alien will work for *below* minimum wage and can't complain about it.
Seriously, get your head straight. Let go of your resentments and try to see the world a little bit more as it is.
Sure Jan. Isn't it crazy that 40M people choose to live in the most populous state in the country, right in the midst of a dumpster fire? What could they possibly be thinking? Why wouldn't' they all just move to the midwest where the living is easy and the sheep are scared? (I've lived damn near dead center of the US, so I'm allowed to say that.)
PS: Please show us on this anatomically correct doll where the scary leftists touched you.
Hey dumbass I live in San Diego this is all firsthand knowledge.
You live in the mid-west so fuck off.
As far as the doll goes right back pocket my $3500 a month apartment rent.
My $600 dollar a year car registration!
My $3,000 a year auto insurance because of all the illegal aliens crashing cars all over!
The $15 dollar hamburger meals for paying idiots with bad attitudes a "living" wage and it looks like another $5 dollar an hour wage increase!
Illegal alien truck drivers who are literally now crashing and killing people all over the country from California handing out drivers licenses to them.
The one saving grace is our weather and when you get out of the ghettos of southern California the areas with no people are stunning.
I am trying to make an escape plan these DEMOCRATS ARE LITERALLY FUCKING CRAZY.
I used to really like visiting Canada, especially Montreal and Quebec. But not anymore, the place is a shambles, overrun by diversity, homeless, drugs and drunks. Kinda like NYC, but not as friendly. Had a good friend in Toronto who would visit just to be able to go shopping where there was a real selection of goods and services. She has done this for the last 30 years. Wonder what she knows that you missed?
Your friend can do what she likes, and I'll do the same. One thing I haven't missed, though, is that POTUS has openly declared he can send anyone he wants to a torture gulag in El Salvador. Not just foreigners like me, either; he wants to do it to 'homegrowns'. And if you think that doesn't mean you, or anyone you love or care about, just sit there and do nothing; you'll find out. I, on the other hand, won't be giving him that opportunity. I respect myself, whether he, or you, respect me or not.
Actually, it's not homegrowns, it's non-citizens, many with criminal records, like the "Father from Guatemala" who beat his wife and molested children. There have been many more who have murdered, raped and destroyed innocent citizens all thanks to several administrations policies of open borders leading to the current state of insurrection where many of the president's plenary powers may be lawfully exercised. Wait till the drug resistant TB epidemic warms up, you ain't seen nothin yet.
You're not making as good a case as you think you are. Even if I took your xenophobia at face value, which I don't, the rule of law is far more important than any individual case -- and Trump has triumphantly declared that the rule of law is dead in the USA. Repeating myself, nothing the USA has to offer is worth my self-respect, much less my inalienable rights.
Interesting take, as always, Mr. K. I can add nothing much to it, except to note that the phrase "NATO allies" is a grandiose phrase that means "Losers dependent on America for their continued existence." It was great to win WW II, or at least preferable to losing, but I doubt any American participating in the fighting would have wanted things to turn out as they have.
You're talking about countries that have fought and died side-by-side Americans on countless battlefields, in WW2 and many others since. Now that the American empire is visibly no longer able to sustain itself, your once valued allies are now 'losers'. Sour grapes much?
The 'losers' have made other valuable contributions to American power and prestige -- land for hundreds of US military bases, for instance. As you continue pulling back and the humiliation mounts, you may put on a brave front. But you'll miss all that power and prestige when it's gone.
I may be wrong, but by your reply you give the appearance of being a European, rather than a citizen of the United States. You speak of our allies who have fought side by side with us; do you mean the Germans and Italians between 1941 and 1945? Or the Japanese, perhaps. Surely you can't be referring to our "allies" in the USSR during that same time frame, or the Chinese, both of whom became our global antagonists as soon as the ink was dry on the peace treaties. It is precisely that "allies" can never be counted on to remain such. And who, exactly, benefits from thsoe billion dollar military bases of which you speak? Certainly not America; the expense in blood and treasure has far exceeded any national benefit. Ask any veteran of the Vietnam fiasco, or Korea, if you can still find one alive. Washington was correct in recommending against any kind of permanent foreign alliances. it is well past time for the USA to reconsider its European "alliances," including NATO, whose members have, as correctly observed by President Trump, thought it was their right and duty to economically fleece the USA by sheltering under its military umbrella while restricting trade and seeking to supplant America as the world's trading partner. I meant no disrespect to those who may have fought and died with us during WW II, but remember it was European political animosities and military excursions that required America's involvement in the first place, just as it was in WW I. Europeans began those wars; America finished them to the benefit of humankind. It's time to stop being so solicitous of foreign countries and time to Make America Great Again by Making America First Again. Americans by nature do not desire either "power or prestige," as you suggest; we simply want to be left alone. deTocqueville saw this and he is still largely correct. That a breed of political animals have been allowed to subvert this American ideal is, I admit, to our shame, but we still have an opportunity to remedy that, and we are doing so with every vote we cast against the encroachments of the entrenched political powers that be.
He is an Eastern Canadian loyalist. They are European, socialistic, the residue of the Tories that deserted the USA during the Revolutionary time. They believe in European values, which descend from the monarchies of the Middle Ages. The Revolution was a rejection of those values by the Americans. It is this rebelliousness of the USA that is under attack from the socialistic globalists.
You will never be able to explain individual freedom and responsibility to socialistic folks brought up in societies imbued with government control.
New Zealand has zero freedoms that the US does not.
There is how ever plenty you Kiwis can't do that we can.
I at least named one.
Go ahead name one and being that New Zealand is a wart on King Charles ass it won't be long before your long-winded hate in religion gets you arrested and thrown in jail.
You're wrong. I'm Canadian, not European. If that makes a lot of your wall of text irrelevant, that's too bad, but I'm afraid it does. You bet on the wrong horse.
This in particular rankles: 'It is precisely that "allies" can never be counted on to remain such.' My friend, can you please name a time when Canada has not been a U.S. ally? There were times when we participated in your military adventures and times when we didn't, but there has never been a time when we were even a shadow of a menace to you, when we stood in the way of your foreign policy in even the smallest way, or in fact did anything except cooperate with you to our mutual profit. Our reward has been for Donald Trump to sandbag us out of nowhere with bullshit about fentanyl and threats to our sovereignty.
See, here's how all this looks to the 95% of humanity that isn't American: Following WW2, the US enjoyed first contested hegemony, then uncontested hegemony once the Soviet Union fell. Those bases you complain about weren't imposed on the USA by the countries it allied with; if anything, they were imposed *by* the USA on its allies. If you personally, or the American people in general, saw no benefit from those bases, that cuts no ice with me at all -- that's a you problem, not an us problem. But the flow of empire has turned to ebb, and where you once saw useful partners, you now see... dinner. That's what we are to you anymore: nice juicy meat on the bone, ready to barbecue.
The statement '"Allies' can never be counted on to remain such' is, in fact projection: you're the ones who have turned on us. The USA is openly threatening every country that ever cooperated with it, and not one of us is as deluded about that fact as you are. No doubt my saying this will upset you, but then, no one expects their dinner to talk back. Save your poor-little-me grievance and entitlement for the rubes.
Germany threw off the International Bankers, arrested Rothschild and made him scrub floors before letting him flee. The Jews then declared war. You can google that to see picture of the headlines.
Eh, this one doesn't even make sense within his own delusion. Others... well, they warrant the smackdown. It's rough trying to own the libs when you can barely rub two sticks together.
The leaders of Europe are not insane at all. They are evil Satanists working a plan to destroy the idea of individualism and personal freedom. Europe has a long history of supporting those ideals, going back at least to the Greeks.
They are Communists, but I think I already said that.
The governments have been infiltrated over time. It is difficult to say whether it is truly worse in Europe or the States. Many an election has been manipulated, IMO, as the probability that so many countries throughout the West would be under Davos/Bankster control at the same time is not particularly high, and the tactics being used out in the open to stifle populist parties are disturbing enough that I have no doubt the ballot boxes are anything but clean.
Yup! In the movie Reagan, He had to face the attempted Commie takeover of the Screen Actors Guild. He made the statement that the foundation of US freedoms could hold off the advance of the Communists. He was right at the time. Today? Maybe not so much as people want their Gimme outlays more than they want their freedom. Apathy and sloth run the show in the cities today. I saw a You Tube piece recommended by a CFNer by Tom Luongo explaining the plan of the globalists to take over the USA. It made way too much sense!!!!! They are advancing!!!!
Old Ronnie brought about the demise of California when he legalized 20 million illegal immigrants. California's demise matches that event nearly to a point. Why? Now all these angry anti-American immigrants could vote. Way to go Ronnie boy!
Seriously, have we ever had a president in since the 1800s who actually did something good for America? Other than Trump?
Remember that he made a deal with the Dems to legalize those immigrants, they would start to enforce the border. Reagan kept his word, the Dems lied as they always do.
A capitalist and John Lockean believes that people and markets work well for running things and government is a small but necessary evil that must be controlled and regulated. That shows how much things have changed as now the government thinks that the people need to be controlled and regulated.
Eisenhower sent many people home during his administration. It will never be published, but I would bet that dollars to donuts a correlation indicating cause could be shown for lousy economics being tied into illegal immigration.
One thing the Leftists are good at is outworking the opposition They double down on everything and the ground game is solid. Moderates, conservatives, and 'old school' Liberals do nothing. "Playing nice" isn't going to end well.
JHK did a great Podcast with Luongo a while back. Can't recall the Podcast Number, but probably easy to find by searching Jim's archives. Didn't I see you on the 2025 Top 10 List of America's Badass Grannies?
His You Tube presentation put a real organized plan in my head of what the globalists are up to. Glen Beck is another that educates well with his chalkboard discussions.
Not so sure. I am American, but I live in Europe. Once Convid disappeared, I can't say anything has gotten worse, and in Germany, they were not able to ram through a clot-shot mandate, which they did do under Biden.
That is true, but Europe is mostly disarmed and the crisis of third-world invaders appears to be more acute in many areas of Europe.
I left my prior job, due in large part to refusing the kill shot. I actually had a co-worker yell at me and tell me that I was the reason the plandemic wouldn't end.
As a female, I'll take my chances in a big city in the US over a big city in Western Europe. If I get raped/ assaulted by a "migrant" here, there is a chance there will be justice. In Europe, it seems that the crime will be brushed under the rug, charges will be dropped and I might even go to jail if I resisted and injured the migrant rapist.
Yes. European leaders are delighted when migrants rape white women and girls. If the offended party were to speak out against it or take to social media, they would be arrested.
Correction, slight tho' it be. It's "the bosses of the leaders of Europe". They are your sociopathic devil worshippers. Never confuse puppets with the puppeteers.
Are you aware of the distinction between communist and socialist ideaologies? Or are you actually arguing that western europe is mostly operating under communist government?
Similarly, that there is a difference between a commonwealth and communist structure?
Another brilliant commentary and analysis by one of my journalistic heroes, JHK.
However, I would submit that even James has not gone far enough in his explanations and permutations when it comes to the Ukraine debacle that we are now engaged in.
One thing he has not touched on is the absolute insanity and debauchery of the man who is currently the leader of Ukraine and the person who is most responsible for continuing the unnecessary KILLING and DESTRUCTION.
How TF is it even possible that WE the People / Tax Slaves of America are sacrificing our blood and treasure on this freak Zelensky who is a former Drag Queen and lousy "comedian" who played the piano with his penis as part of his act?? THIS IS LIKE THE STORY OF THE EMPEROR with NO CLOTHES for god's sake. Doesn't ANYONE get it??
Furthermore, the little degenerate Z-man doesn't even have the respect or civility to WEAR A GODDAMN SUIT and dress appropriately when he meets with OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP for example.
It is an INSULT to US that President Trump even talks to this little scumbag, let alone supply him with billions of dollars in support- money that is coming out of OUR pockets. The next time that Zelensky tries to call our President, they should hang up on him. If he shows up, have the guards throw him out on his degenerate ass.
It seems like all the "smart" people fell for the joke. And these are the bastards that are controlling our destiny, that could engage us in WW 3, that have the power to destroy Western Civ- and they are too stupid to realize they have been CONNED by a two bit, low life clown that nobody ever heard of.
While your description of Z is dead on the money, the fact is that he was placed there by design by the very same Eurocrats who orchestrated this entire mess from the get go. This is THEIR doing and he is no more than their puppet. Trump is fully aware of this fact, yet must entertain the illusion that he needs to “negotiate” the peace with him.
Trump has stated frequently that if Europe and the UK insist on maintaining the prosecution of this war they are free to buy arms from US manufacturers but we are in the process of divesting ourselves from the whole sordid mess. It’s now going to be on them, and he knows, and they know, they are incapable of doing any such thing.
The meeting in Budapest comes on the heels of him having had more than enough of the charade that is slaughtering millions, and he will now force the issue to a standoff: Either Z signs on to the presidents terms or he’s going to cut him, and by proxy the EU, loose once and for all. They have been hoisted upon their own petard. Without the US as their backstop they are all dead in the water. They know it, but more importantly Trump knows it. The end.
Trump is owned by the same people who owned McCain and who own Graham. Expect little to change in terms of Ukraine. Let's not forget the absolute stupidity of the Ukrainian people for following the little troll - who isn't Ukrainian and doesn't care about them.
Such a great take on such a sleazy situation. Created by neocons beholden to the weapons lobby, Victoria Nuland and her regime-change CIA, and big pharma pals, they decked out the border of Ukraine with bio-labs on Putin’s doorstep while inching ever closer by stretching NATO eastward. Putin could care less about what he sees as a feckless and suicidal Europe, and wants them to stay where they are while the invited Muslims wipe them out. He sees little Z for the stupid incompetent tool that he is, and a threat to his country. He should wipe them out, and DJT would be wise to step back, and let him do it. No more US dollars to the kleptocrats ruining their country. Putin is a far more useful ally than Z ever would be. Russia is still sane and Muslim-free; my money is on them. Z sees the writing on the wall; his days on earth are numbered. Hope that Swiss stash is accessible, because only Mrs. Z will be able to enjoy it!
My theory on the embarrassing “no kings” antiquefa hoard is that surely there are some reliving the Age of Aquarius but my bet is that most were geeks & goodie-2-shoes back in the day, missed out, are trying to make up for being losers in the Swinging 60s & now think they’re trailblazing rebels.
And yes, I’m a boomer who got all of that out of my system way back when, when the young are expected to be dopes. I look at these asshats & think “yep, still geeks & goody-2-shoes”….
The walkers, canes, pushy carts and wheelie chairs kinda slows that trail blazing down a tad!
"Antiquefa" - LOVE it!!
By time these 'trail blazers' were finished failing spectacularly wearing their "craft day" crowns, complete with glitter and everything, and after chatting excitedly on the ride back to their respective lodges via the rented tour busses, about how they 'stormed' the scene with heroic cat-like qualities (you know, the kind where "SUNBEAM!!" - automatic nap time), I would imagine their extra jello cup that was promised to them tasted mighty fine. LOL.
To commemorate their win, they turn on the tv in excitement to witness the captured material of the gloriousness of their movement whereupon realization hits them, they truly did look like retards, they weren't as speedy as they imagined, and all 20 of them in each location did NOT have any impact. At all. Whatsoever. More like sad little lemonade stands with no lemonade! And no stand!!
Oh well, at least it was an outing and they got to see lots of blow up plastic animals being more retarded than them. Next on the agenda, taking each other out via Bingo.
Ask Ron about the Gray Panthers and other senior citizen gangs. Much of the state is a vast oldster ghetto. Blacks reading books on park benches are assaulted by these goons all the time.
Ukraine aka Khazaria is the home of the FemiNarcissist group "Femen" and is led by a cross dresser with a touch of the dragon blood. In Russia, in contrast, proselytizing for trans and pedos has been outlawed. Pretty clear Ukraine shares US/NATO/EU/WEF values and the US and its masters will not give up Khazaria easily.
I think you underestimate the power of the No Kings rallies. They have good marketing, an easy to digest message and a clear target- they despise Trump. I read that Trump's approval is at an all time low 37%. That may or may not be true. Trump is angering Left and Right. I'll trade Trump and a player to be named later for Massie. We need a new movement and a new party.
No Paul, you and your damned sayanim are in fact the problem! Who funded the No Kings rally? Who was it that paid all those idiots to stand outside and cry "orange man bad!" ??
Massie is in a difficult position. Apparently he can't be bought and 'they' have nothing to use as blackmail. IMO his wife's early demise has question marks around it. He is silent except to extoll her virtues and positive impact upon his life.
Massie seems to be an upstanding guy and I agree that his wife's death appears sketchy. His problem is that he still clings to zany libertarian ideas. Economic Down's Syndrome.
Consider those libertarian ideas keep him out of the L-R axis, which is divisive. He irritates many, but apparently not many of his constituents. Ron Paul did much the same.
Capital centralizes. A few end up owning everything. As the old alchemists said, Nature (capitalism) unaided, fails. The market is just the jungle. You extoll it. We want it turned into a garden. The big boys play ball with the nation or they can fucking leave.
Or fiscal and monetary conservatism? Throwing money at all the problems in the country rarely solves anything other than making the .gov larger and more unmanageable. Overspending is the root of economic down's syndrome, as it were.
No Kings cost about $294 million was organized through Indivisible Foundation which is funded by a lot of left wing foundations including Soros, Fidelity Investment, Bloomberg Family Foundation, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Will and Flora Hewlett Foundation and Arabella funded by Tides Foundation and Zuckerberg, The Rockefeller Foundation, Soros Open Society, USAID, The Ford Foundation for the big money oligarchs plus a lot of small donors funded by the same sources plus USAID and National Endowment for Democracy and other USG cutouts that have been using taxpayer money to create a color revolution in the US. See @DataRepublican (small r) on X for in depth details. Note that the NYC protest broke up at 1pm precisely because that is when the 4 hour payment stopped.
The rallies are put together and attended by the same people who already don't like Trump anyways. The polarization is already so strong that it is unlikely that anyone on the fence will be swayed, and most of the middle has long since figured out that both parties are largely a sham.
What might undo Trump are the issues on which he does exactly what the globalist crowd wants. I am more and more arriving at the conclusion that he now exists to sell the technocracy to anyone not on what would be defined as the American left.
Yes, Trump is losing his own people. I voted for him three times because of the Nationalist/Populist orientation from Bannon et.al. he represented, even though I cant stand anything about the guy. His refusal to come clean about the Covid Democide and do what is right there has me livid. He is still murdering people by not banning the bioweapon and helping the world get justice. Then there is his prostituting himself to the wealthy Jews to help them with their supremacist fantasies. Or, it is fear for his life. In any event Trump seems to love the big corporations too, especially if they pay him off. We need a better Nationalist/Populist.
Oh where is this mystery person? Trump is one guy trying to Shane the current in a maelstrom. Why can’t people just give him support in his “war” against the globalist takeover of America? I do not agree with his position on the Vaxx after learning about is uselessness and potential dangers, but his clobbering of the Ult-Left especially the immigration and education bullshit of the Left overwhelms anything else on the table for me.
Jim K. has steadfastly held back his judgement on DJT. I think his and Trump's time may have just come. The world was on the brink of nuclear war over those Tomahawks, when Trump took Putin's phone call and listened to sense for 2 and 1/2 hours.
Trump received a clean bill of health Friday night after completing advanced imaging, lab tests, and preventive health assessments with a team of specialists who found his cardiac age is a whopping 14 years younger than his actual age of 79.
The president also received several vaccines – including his annual flu shot and a COVID-19 booster – ahead of his trip to the Middle East, Barbabella noted in his memo.
This headline in the MSM caused a hustle in our small county to get jabbed up for winter… no matter how many negative posts on SM the citizens “believe” in the President. It’s hard to watch… our city is county seat… a Walmart now with lines for their jabs.
This is what I’m here for: “Their populations are demoralized, emasculated, in thrall to the menopausal viragos in their councils and ministries.” Words like “virago” used in perfect context.
It is not a government shutdown, as much as it is a stalemate, over doing something illegal (funding free healthcare for all illegals, including SNAP benefits) versus doing what is legal - finishing the deportations and getting those who are not supposed to be here and are costing too much - out of the country. We are clearly not going back into the insane asylum business, so protect yourself responsibly in public, from the insane clowns on the loose out there.
Thanks JHK, I look forward to your Monday and Friday posts. That the common interests of USA and Russia outweigh their differences should be obvious to any impartial observer. But, but, but, they say, Trump and Putin are literally Hitler.
Failure in this attempt at peace could result in the USA becoming a glowing ash tray.
What the sociopathic globalist oligarchs most fear is that land bridge from Alaska to Siberia. Imagine those natural partners America and Russia united against the world.
It's such an obvious thing. No wonder it hasn't been done!
Actually, we need to stand back eh? the peaceful partnership betw. Russia and America flies in the face of the long held fear expressed most recently by Zbigniew Brezinski. Add on MacKinder. Except that they envisioned a threat from a unified Eurasian continent free from the tyranny of the oligarchs. Not a unified North America and Russia.
I may be wrong, but what I envision would be a partnership between the United States of America and the Russian Federation - to the mutual benefit of both. Also given they are both, essentially Christian nations, this partnership could bring forth a new global morality.
War is obsolete. The organized globalists will line up on the Hudson to take the surrender of the USA before the war starts. The Dems plus RINOs will be there as soldiers of the victors. God will NOT be smiling.
What no one ever mentions is that it is not "the Europeans" who have messed their own floor with doo-doo. The governments of Europe are not in control of those countries. They were taken over by some very, uber-powerful oligarchs of the Davos Complexion, and that's how hordes of Mohammedans wound up there. All the better to really screw things up royally.
"And now it’s back to Rachel Maddow for further instructions"
This perfectly wraps up the NPCs that now comprise the left.
Mr. Kunstler has a way of saying it so perfectly. This statement alone sums up the mental acuity of anyone who considers themself to be a Democrat. No knowledge based on anything other than what their favorite leftist talking heads tell them. God I love reading Mr. Kunstler. Whether I agree with him or not, the man has a way of describing things using words my mind can never come up with.
The first paragraph made me laugh out loud! Such succinct analysis and writing so glorious…love reading Mr. Kunstler and look forward to his missives. ❤️
He is my bi-weekly fix. I was out of town the last week and missed three of his postings. I almost went into withdrawal. I don't always agree with JHK but I need my Monday and Friday morning fix, to be sure :)
"They resisted. . . something. (Mainly authority of any kind, a retarded adolescent fantasy.)"
They resisted autocratic, dictatorial authority imposed by a minority of reactionaries who want to roll back the last century or two.
If you question 'autocratic' and 'dictatorial', the fact you call your fellow citizens NPCs is strong evidence in favour of those adjectives.
Please explain the "autocratic and dictatorial" measures that have been taken that are out of line with existing laws.
Are you serious? The second Trump administration's every move, every breath, and every waking moment has been devoted to breaking the constitutional order. To wit, it is Congress that makes law, which the President is obligated to faithfully execute. It is Congress that holds the power to appropriate and spend funds; the president may not refuse to spend funds that have been appropriated by Congress. This is the black-letter constitutional design, unchanged since the Revolution.
Trump and his administration are simply plowing through all that: gutting agencies, openly declaring that the law is what the president says it is, that the president has 'plenary power'. The word 'autocrat' means a single person who holds all power and rules by decree (a dictator).
Jesus, why do you even object? JHK openly declares this is what's happening, and he's glad to see it because the majority of Americans have too much freedom, and the constitutional design that preserves that freedom is an impediment to fixing things to your satisfaction.
You should take a breather and watch some more Rachel Maddow to reload on your insane level of hatred.
Ignore him. He's a Canadian that votes for the Green party.
Which is a waste of a vote (don't think they have a single MP in parliament).
So, it's like debating a toddler.
Anger, not hatred. Anger is 100% appropriate when directed against a target as destructive as the Trump administration. They aren't just wrapping dynamite around foundational pillars of freedom and democracy, they have already detonated several and have no intention of stopping.
"Anger, not hatred. Anger is 100% appropriate when directed against a target as destructive as the "Biden" handlers.
Dude, where have you been for the last four years?
It is obvious from your diatribes that you are just another TDSer who does not have a clue what they are talking about.
One question shuts you down, Does Biden’s Mob control of all parts of the government with its obvious socialistic, global, autocratic control emulate the totalitarian desires of the Democrat Party, no actually only the Ult- Left part. Fetterman emulates the moderate Dems, telling the Bernie boys to eff off.
Trump. As a champion of the Joe Average folks, sees the incompetence of the federal government that exists right now and is trying to get consensus to get things done that need to be done. he has predecessors who faced the same incompetence when he was elected, Franklin Roosevelt, who also tried to use executive power to get the necessary work done.
You just use Trump’s activism to justify your socialist gimme TDS.
I look at what would be happening today if the Dems had gotten control. We would be heading for the collapse of the Constitution.
Pro tip: Any sentence that begins with "you should" may be appropriately directed straight to the circular file.
Except when it actually applies.
so far I believe DJT has honored every court order levied against his actions. is that now the acid test of whether he oversteps legit executive authority? last I read 115 cases brought against him. maybe you don't really understand the law??
Meanwhile the previous demented idiot that was in the orifice ignored court orders right and left.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2932356/how-biden-defied-supreme-court-to-cancel-144-billion-in-student-loans/
I am sure there are more but this is a big one!
"Honouring" anything couldn't be more alien to Donald Trump's character, or his approach to governance. A more accurate way to put it would be that Trump has tried to get away with such an enormous amount of overreach that he is a severe and urgent threat to the rule of law itself. He just hasn't gotten away with everything he's tried to pull, because the rule of law isn't fully dead yet; it's just on the ropes.
Each court case that rules against the WH he waits for it to go through the courts before his next move.Unlike Biden when the courts rules against the forgiveness of student loans he stated he was going to ignore the ruling.The Trump WH has yet taken the action that the Fiden WH took.
One more, Trump will probably be succeeded by JD Vance. MAGA will put in more protections against socialism and globalism which you obviously favor.
“You will not covet anything that is your neighbors”. Your Leftist beliefs are based on socialistic thieves in government stealing capital from people who earned it and giving it to people who are gimme. Envy, wanting to have what your “neighbor” has, is an affront to God. Of course, that is if the Ult-Left can get beyond their own egos to believe in a higher morality other than themselves.
Constitutional order?
Yah, the deep state is clearly articulated in that document.
You're the smug Canadian that allowed this country to descend into the morass it is today.
"Constitutional order? Yah, the deep state is clearly articulated in that document." Um, I can't tell from this what your actual position is? My own position is very much in favour of the rule of law (so, thumbs-up constitution) and against imperialism (thumbs-down deep state). Just so you know where I stand.
Regarding your other point, I'm truly dismayed that I, personally, am so smug that I have brought Canada to... your problem, whatever it is. Imagine my chagrin. And here was me thinking the biggest problem we have right now is the assault on our economy and our sovereignty by the superpower next door.
Lets see Congress has been giving up it's powers to every 3/4 letter agency to make laws/dictum's a power they do not possess for the last fifty years.I do not worry about Canada and you keep your nose out of mine....oh ...climate change is BS and man made scam to loot pockets.
That is so much BS. The Deep State’s prime objective is to can the Constitution and create a government centered society in the USA. To protect their own federal society. You do not believe in the rule of law, just what you believe the law says. That is so Dem.
A great example is the border. The Dem rule 2020 to 2024 just ignored the law in its opening up the USA to invasion. They did what they wanted. NYC Ag and judges had to make up laws to attack Trump, another example of the Left’s defiance of the laws.
Poor little Canada, they had their chance to work with the USA and Mexico to create an economic power in North America. Then the real deal arose, the “screw America” syndrome in Ottawa. Trump is the result and the America First movement here is going to shut the Leftist, European, socialist Ottawa government down. How? By absorbing the rebels in Alberta et al.
LOL. Yeah, it's all the Canadians fault. At least I've stumbled across some original thought in this thread. Thanks for the lulz.
This country = Canada
Canadian talking to Canadian. After first Canadian did that smug looking down on the US while his country is in shambles thing.
My God, the Trump administration does not even use the bathroom without consulting its attorneys. Never has. Stick to Canada, why doncha? And, while I realize that being Green has absolutely nothing to do with the actual environment, quit setting yourselves on fire. The smoke was horrible here in Wisconsin this past summer, too.
"it's attorneys" being the oxymoron in question there.
Oh, my apologies. Is my country being on fucking fire a cause of annoyance for you? I do humbly beg your forgiveness, memsahib.
And I'll 'stick to Canada' after Donald Trump apologizes for attacking our sovereignty by calling our border an imaginary line, steps down from office, and dies in obscurity. Not one minute sooner.
None of that other than eventual death will happen.
You can however hold your breath until it does.
Sorry, FG, he is in good health and can still out perform his enemies. Thank God!
So you can't name any transgressions of existing law?
Trump took office on January 20, and by February 4 had taken all the following actions:
- Shut down USAID without Congressional approval. Founded in 1961 by executive order of JFK, it was re-constituted as an independent agency by act of Congress in 1998 (the Foreign Affairs Reform and Restructuring Act). Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. constitution states that the president 'shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed', said laws being enacted by Congress as per Article I Section 1, making this act of executive fiat a transgression of existing law.
- Created an extra-constitutional pseudo-agency 'DOGE', enabling a billionaire oligarch to raid the federal government's data systems. DOGE claimed impoundment powers, i.e. powers to delay or deny spending of funds appropriated by Congress. Under Article I, Section 9, Congress holds exclusive power over appropriation, and the 1974 Impoundment Control Act curtails presidential attempts to unilaterally withhold funds. What makes this an even clearer example of executive overreach is that DOGE's governing structure was made deliberately unclear, specifically to cloud the issue of standing in any legal filing. It's hard to pursue overreach in court when the executive has made sure there's no clear line of responsibility.
- The Office of Personnel Management acted beyond its authority in offering buyouts to millions of federal employees. Laws implicated include the Anti-Deficiency Act and the Administrative Leave Act.

I have named three so far, just from Trump's first two weeks in office. He's now in his 39th week. Think I'll have trouble finding more?
For a guy supposedly interested in environmental issues, you sure do keep detailed files on American Democrat talking points.
(Greens are infamous for no interest at all in viable alternative energy development or farm-to-table economics, by the way.)
Cool Democrat/leftist talking points. Now, what laws has Trump been actually deemed to have been broken? Where has he been charged?
It is the Congress that makes the laws. That is correct, until the Congress becomes incompetent and uses filibuster rules, as an example, to make itself useless. Presidents, both Dem and GOP, have used the EO pad to try to get things that need to be done, done. The fine line between law making and execution contributes to the mix. Congress as intended to be a wise body where intelligence would rule to set the legal agenda for the country. Party politics has turned it into a clown filled circus where bartenders are seriously thinking of running for president.
Not just the Congress, but the NGOs and the media have turned the representative government into Barnum and Bailey.
Lousy representation by the people’s congress always leads to the PTB taking over, authoritarianism. The huge difference here is that the Ult-Left are anti-Constitutional and want the USA to turn into an authoritarian global state.
People in the USA get what they vote for!
George Carlin knew what the scam of voting in the USA was all about a long time ago....
"Now there’s one thing you might have noticed I don’t complain about: politicians. Everybody complains about politicians. Everybody says they suck. Well, where do people think these politicians come from? They don’t fall out of the sky. They don’t pass through a membrane from “another reality”. They come from American parents, and American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American businesses, and American universities. And they’re elected by American citizens. This is the best the USA can do folks.
This is what we have to offer. It’s what our system produces: Garbage in. Garbage out. … If you have selfish ignorant citizens, you’re going to get selfish ignorant leaders.
So maybe… maybe… MAYBE, it’s not the politicians who suck. Maybe something else sucks around here like: “THE PUBLIC”. Yeah, the public sucks. There’s a nice campaign slogan for somebody: “the public sucks, fuck hope”. Fuck hope. Because if it’s really just the fault of these politicians, then where are all the other bright people of conscience?
Where are all the bright, honest, intelligent Americans ready to step in and save the nation and lead the way?
We don’t have people like that in this country. Everybody’s at the mall scratching his ass, picking his nose, taking out his credit card out of a Fannie-pack, and buying a pair of sneakers with lights in them.
So, I have solved this little political dilemma for myself in a very simple way: on election-day, I-STAY-HOME. I don’t vote. Fuck ’em. FUCK THEM. I don’t vote......It’s meaningless. This country was bought and sold and paid for a long time ago. The shit they shuffle around every four years doesn’t mean a fuckin’ thing."
You're absolutely right that Congress has become completely dysfunctional. Thomas E. Mann and Norman Ornstein wrote a pretty good book about it:
https://academic.oup.com/book/53442
As an aside, those same authors have concluded it's specifically the Republican party that is the problem. They wrote this back in 2012:
"We have been studying Washington politics and Congress for more than 40 years, and never have we seen them this dysfunctional. In our past writings, we have criticized both parties when we believed it was warranted. Today, however, we have no choice but to acknowledge that the core of the problem lies with the Republican Party.
"The GOP has become an insurgent outlier in American politics. It is ideologically extreme; scornful of compromise; unmoved by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.
"When one party moves this far from the mainstream, it makes it nearly impossible for the political system to deal constructively with the country’s challenges."
https://www.brookings.edu/articles/lets-just-say-it-the-republicans-are-the-problem/
Things have now gotten far, far worse. And Trump/MAGA's proposed "solution" is not to fix the failed institution, but to break the constitutional order entirely? If I were an American, I would be livid with them and anyone who supports them. Not being an American, I will simply view them with cold contempt, as your founding fathers would.
As for your 'ult-Left' remark, you're simply deluded. It is the Trump administration, aided and abetted by a captured Supreme Court, who are right this minute visibly engaged in a coup against the constitution: your 'powers-that-be'. Dude, the Republic party currently has the White House, both houses of Congress, and has successfully stacked the Supreme Court with so-called "justices" who have declared the president completely immune from the law. Can you please stop and think about these things before railing about the 'ult-Left' who are absolutely powerless?
Well, you have spoken as a true representative of socialism, it is obvious that you believe the source of all intelligence for a society resides in its government.
You do not have enough fingers and toes to count the number of societies that have come and gone by that belief. The John Lockean influence on the Founders created a Constitution that says that the government is the servant of the people, not vice versa. The Dems believe just the opposite.
Are you confusing the RINO GOP with the MAGA GOP? They are very different.

I know this is difficult for people like you BUT did it ever occur to you that you might be the problem here?
I ask because all the indignant leftist turds always whining never seem to whine when their side is doing obvious damage to the country.
Just like all the indignant rightist turds always whining never seem to whine when their side is doing obvious damage to the country.
Do please enlighten us about the "damage" being done.
You won't be able to copy and paste for this exercise and having a clue might help Dennis.
I eagerly await your well researched and considered opinion and not viewpoints of a screeching cat lady who wandered around the no kings mess in a dinosaur or frog costume.
Uhhh.. YOU are in here whining about whiners? Classic. Chef's kiss.
Know thyself and another classic projection from someone with zero argument.
If you don't think telling people they must drive EVs by a certain date or eliminate gas appliances, or get a shot or get out, isn't dictatorial, then I don't know what is.
Double negatives aside, this is straining outs gnats while swallowing camels. I'm old enough to remember people bitching when they added buzzers to cars if you didn't fasten your seat belt, or not being able to use leaded gas anymore. Only back then, bitching was all they did -- they didn't try to blow up the democratic order and install a dictator. And a lot fewer people died as a result.
Gasoline cars instead of EVs, gas stoves instead of electric -- these aren't fundamental freedoms. They're consumer preferences. Making a political issue out of them is just people with power distracting you from real problems you have that they won't solve, because solving them would cost them money.
Aren’t consumer preferences a form of freedom of choice?
You're seriously proposing that consumer preferences are just as significant as life, liberty, and security of person? As significant as freedom of speech and assembly? As freedom of thought and religion?
In a thousand years, I couldn't possibly clown you any more than you have just clowned yourself.
Freedom of choice ~ one day dumb Americans will wake up to find that all the gas stations are out of gas. There is no more left!
Happy motoring will fall off a cliff.
Instead of being handled in a planned taper to another energy source that sees travelling in a car being able to be continued and maintained.
Just like banning lead in gasoline and catalytic converters were banned by the gubmint. It had to be done.
That's a responsible governments job. "The people" won't do these things until they arrive at the edge of the cliff! That's "Freedom of choice" baby! LOL
Hey , we agree 100% on this post. I say once in a while, that JHK is right and we should not spend a lot of time worrying about the effects of FF on the climate. We need to find better ways to create energy because this one (FF) is going away in a couple of generations.
I have some antique tapeworm weight loss pills you might be interested in.
From the looks of your post you have been indulging in them.
Last time I checked Canada has a border they enforce just sixty miles north of here. Where would you like us to repatriate your amigos? How many rooms can you spare, eh, hoser?
Last time I checked, two things were happening: 1. MAGA was driving itself to distraction over migrants coming over its southern border. 2. Donald Trump was repeatedly referring to the Canadian border as an 'artificially drawn line' and saying the U.S. would use economic coercion to force us to become the '51st state'.
https://archive.is/H1SIx
Get your head straight and treat my border with the same respect you treat your own, and we might have something to talk about. Till then, you've got some fucking nerve lecturing me, 'amigo'.
If only Canada respected its own border and what are you complaining about you are a subject to the crown of England who has thrown the doors open.
They need more than 40 million aging subjects to pay for all the crazy globull warming nonsense your idiot King Charles wants to do.
He considers his subjects blood bags to squeeze when he wants to fund something.
There is an estimate that there are 2-4 million illegal aliens in California alone.
It is noticeable the day they started publicly arresting people the traffic patterns changed through Los Angeles.
100% support Trumps deporting thousands of illegals can't wait till it is millions.
What kind of dipshittery are you spewing? You people give me dip-stick exposure headaches.
Look out, people, we've got an intellectual giant here.
I have the enormous good fortune of being a Canadian, living in Canada. For many years, it was entertaining to watch a minority of Americans drive themselves berzerk over culture war issues, until they had convinced themselves they were the only legitimate Americans. It's a lot less funny now that your institutions are in serious collapse, and you're being openly predatory of your nominal allies.
I sincerely hope 'No Kings' prevails and the guilty parties get put on trial. But that's far less important to me than my own country's survival in the face of America's implosion.
You're the kind of Canadian that rational Canadians like me hate. Irrational Liberal voter.
Green voter, actually. Cheers, mate.
That makes you even more delusional.
Ya gots Carney, what more could Chinada want ? Carnage , Ukrainian style ?. I have a feeling that you are really gonna love the dumpster cousine !
Lol, good fortune to be a Canadian while the country burns down around you.
JFC with you people. So emboldened in your ignorance.
Green voter. No sense to be made of you.
'While the country burns down around me'? Uh, do you mean the actual forest fires that are a major reason I'm a Green (hint: climate change is real)? If not, then citation needed.
Climate fluctuations is a more accurate description of what the climates of the world have been doing since the beginning of everything. Everyone knows climate fluctuates; we intelligent ones know that government involvement in climate is all a hoax.
Not an ounce of shame on you, boomer.
You want proof Canada is in ruins - talk to a GenZ that doesn't have your retirement portfolio.
The climate always changes. If you believe the current changes are existential, it's because you're clueless about curating data to make bogus predictions that mislead the clueless. Here's a clue:

Back in the late sixties, my local station carried "The Friendly Giant" and I loved it. Now you're shitting all over its memory.

Your welcome.
I loved The Friendly Giant too. I look back on my childhood memories fondly. But I'm a grown-up now. If my opinions are clashing with your gauzy childhood memories, that's not my problem.
Uh oh.
Ah right Canadian no wonder you're so full of shit.
Must be something in the water up there.
Hint pull your head out of your ass and put it in a big bucket of cold water just remember to pull it out and breath once in a while or those last two or three brain cells will die.
Thank you, excellent and sane account of the situation. One reason I've observed why the Democrats — at least the corrupt idiot Democrats who run my small California city — are loathe to let Ukraine go towards peace is it gave them the chance to wear blue and yellow to any meeting with their taxpayers. That way they remind those of us who pay their exorbitant salaries for breaking what doesn't need fixing, that we are the fortunate ones who should give up all our rights so they can help Ukraine along with the homeless, Antifa, BLM. Yes, my very own county supervisor deigned to meet with some of us who are unhappy with her pot nursery policies and came decked out in Ukraine blue and yellow.
Polly, to be fair, there is a large wing of the Republican Party -- led by Senator Graham and championed by Fox News -- who take a very aggressive stance toward Russia. Apparently they think Russia will take any sort of provocation without a response, which is a dangerous position considering Russia's 6000 nuclear warheads (which is the elephant in the room)
"Light-in-his-Loafers" Lindsey Graham needs to be sent to the front line. Then we'll see how aggressive he is. He's always so excited about the thought of shedding the American blood of our sons and daughters on foreign soil. Fuck him and the carousel pony he rode in on.
👍🏻
Of course. In order to justify a military budget that exceeds the combined military budget of at least half of the leading countries around the world, they must have a war somewhere to fight.
Last year, one of my sons came to me and was telling me how evil Russia is for invading Ukraine and how the USA is justified to be sending Ukraine cash and weapons. I patiently listened to what he was saying. He then asked me that question that I eagerly await but often never hear. "Dad, what do you think?" He asked me.
I looked my tall boy in the eyes and I asked him one question. I asked him if he has ever at any time in his 22 years of life on this ruined planet if he has been threatened, harmed, harassed or otherwise injured by anyone from or inside of Ukraine or Russia.
You know what he said? "No." The conversation was over. My son immediately understood that we have no business being involved in a war there. Nor did we have any business being involved in a war in Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Koreas, Syria, Yemen, Gaza, Israel or any other sovereign nation.
The only country we should be at war with is Mexico for permitting millions of hepatitis and tuberculosis ridden migrants to cross their country and cross their northern border. But I digress. Have I been harassed or otherwise threatened by one of these? Yes, I have. So why are we not making war on Mexico and telling them to get the act together? Perhaps because our government profits immensely from its "war on drugs" which comes from Mexico? Hmmmm......
It's all about the money. It is always about the fucking money. God I hate money. You would think humanity would have evolved past this obsession with fucking money by now. Like a deer can't evolve to avoid cars on a highway, humans can't evolve to get over their obsession and lust for money, an obsession which continues to bring us to ruin, depression and death.
What was the name of that Henry Fonda movie? The son wants to fight the South and the father asks why.
We're a very competitive species, especially the women - who only breed with those who have as much or more money than they have.

Jimmy Stewart. A good description of the tearing apart of the Civil War.

"Religion poisons everything!" The great atheist Christopher Hitchens!
Religion stalks across the face of human history, knee-deep in the blood of innocents, clasping its red hands in hymns of praise to an approving God.
If God is perfect, why does he create so many stupid followers?
Because, stupid, He gave you true freedom. You get to choose between the blessing and the curse, and you keep choosing the curse.
Nice response.
I don't believe that Graham, et al think any particular thing about Russia. They are simply owned and/or blackmailed by the war machine, so they just take whatever position they are told to take.
"Hence, Mr. Trump’s dilemma: how to dissociate from this losing proposition and come out looking like a winner, saving Europe from becoming a smoldering ashtray, stanching the flow of US taxpayers’ money and US-made weapons into this black hole, and forging friendly relations with a Russia that is decades beyond being our ideological enemy?"
Jim nicely whitewashes the profiteering of the US' "war machine" in this mess. Previously known as 'Defence Contractors' (back when they supplied arms to the US Department of Defence), these 'War Contractors' made out like bandits (yet again) with this Obama/Biden war ... and you can be pretty darn sure that Graham et al. get their cut.

Phil I did not see any whitewashing more like you are trying to stir a pot knowing what I believe that JHK despises the DS and the MIC as much as most of the readers here on the blog do.The MIC was first brought up by Eisenhower in a speech back in the 50's and JFK saw the link of the CIA and MIC when he mentioned "splinter the CIA into a thousand pieces and scatter it into the winds".JFK's administration put into motion some directives just for that the rest is history.The DS, needs to be crushed CIA broken/splintered and the FBI reorganized.
Yup, and they killed him for it. That one act in 1963 has affected every president since. Another anti-Deep State president, Reagan, also almost bought the farm. Violence controls much of the government’s activity. The same groups fought Trump in the courts, then tried to assassinate him twice, and he is still going strong. I send a message, kill Trump and you will get Vance, frying pan into fire syndrome.
True Americans are rejecting the invasion of the Left,
America First!!!!!!!
Except when Argentina needs a few extra billions we just happen to have lying around.
And "true Americans" don't demonize other Americans who differ from them, or go around making up insipid fairy tales about 'invasions' rather than engaging in respectful debate. Unless they've forgotten (or never learned) what the American experiment was intended to foster.
Putin made America energy dominant…that was the most important and most achievable America First objective.
You are correct, Kevin. Thank you.
Jim whitewashed nothing. However, he was remiss in not mentioning the profiteering of the US' "war machine" in this mess. Previously known as 'Defence Contractors' (back when they supplied arms to the US Department of Defence), these 'War Contractors' made out like bandits (yet again) with this Obama/Biden war ... and you can be pretty darn sure that Graham et al. get their cut.
The War Machine. Yes, that's a reasonable explanation, but probably not limited to the Legislative Branch.
A result of that may be is that "Mr. Trump" is more than a single entity, whose influence results from unknown sources, and is at odds with what's obviously best for the sane and majority. Unlike "Joe Biden" as our host often mentioned, "Mr. Trump" is publicly much more on the ball and can think on his feet, but realistically it appears he also answers to parties higher up on the chain of command. Parties with the real power, parties with the vast majority of wealth.
This translates to slouching toward solutions, and keeping eyes off the economy, resource depletion, the Long Emergency picking up speed, the advancement of the digital control grid, the aftermath of the Plandemic and Jabs and other predicaments in modern life.
Ending hostile actions and violence is a good thing, but it's not easy for me to give credit to those involved - if I believe they answer to the same boss(es) that created the conflict in the first place.
"parties with the vast majority of wealth."
Now you are getting somewhere. You are talking about the ooooold money. The real power. The Rockefellers, Carnegies, Morgans, Chases and Rothchilds. These people own the banks that fund and finance the billionaires like Bezos, Gates and Musk.
Goes back far further than that look no further than the Vatican they have been stealing money for over a thousand years.
2000 years?
I wouldn't even be surprised if the old money families are even just another public layer in between the regular people and The Puppet Masters. When you have trillions at your disposal, you can get an unlisted phone numbers....and unlisted bank accts, unlisted property ownership, etc. The millionaire next door just might be the trillionaire hiding in plain sight....
Nancy Graham takes the same position as Ben Dover.
I'm sure many on the Left are similarly purchased or blackmailed, but often, it seems that Lefties are so committed to zealously pursuing evil that they are willing to do it simply so they can kill and punish normal people.
Agreed, the word *possessed* comes to mind.
Yes. It is demonic possession.
I do think he's an order-taker. I think Putin, the last great statesman on the world stage, knows it, and won't negotiate with him in 100% seriousness. At some point, Putin may finally say, *Take me to your leader*. That said, Putin also has others to answer to, but I think he's still the ultimate decision maker, whereas DJT is not.
Ha, Ron, you have brought up the ultimate question.
Exactly, who is in charge here?
The blog discusses this over and over with no real answers.
Just like the USA has no ultimate leader, just a trilogy of power, the world is divided up into groups constantly vying for power.
The North American Union, it still exists.
BRICS+
WEF
The financial sector, Rothschilds et al.
The EU (NATO)
The Vatican
Iran’s ayatollahs
OPEC
All vying for global power.
The answer may be there will never be an ultimate leader?
An important side bar is that all the above have the USA in their sights, with the destruction of the King of the Mountain as the primary goal.
That is what Trump knows and faces every day.
You are so right about that.
Neo-Cons. And that means Jews or those owned by them. That means Trump. So no, expect no sanity from Trump either in this regard. Two Jewish families control our foreign policy. They hate Russia, above and beyond coveting its resources.
Russia should be our greatest ally, and could have been by now had the deep state not facilitated the installation of the one zombie that almost half the country thought was great guy! Trump is dismantling it brick by brick, but we will be responsible for taking out the rubble.
He is owned by the Tribe, many of whom hate Russia. Given that they control our foreign policy, any optimism is simply more naivete.
I'd say he's walking a tightrope. That infamous dinner where he just praised and teased Miriam Adelson?
He broke the ultimate taboo - he not only said the forbidden, he said it without portents of doom or reverence. And they ate it up! He has broken the ice, and now we can simply make fun again of those who must not be criticized - as they so adroitly do themselves.
I heard that it was odd and her husband at the same time
He even mentioned she loves Israel over the US.
Not
Please do provide a post proving I'm wrong.
I don't give a shit either way.
All excellent points. To me it seems Russia is not a country to be f*kid with. History shows us that. War with Russia, if it came to it, would not be like fighting Saddam Hussein's ragtag army, no, it would be real peer warfare like likes we haven't seen since Dec. 1950 at the frozen Chosin Reservoir on the Chinese border ... and how do you think Russia would respond if it sensed it was losing? Surrender? Try to make nice? Let by gones be by gones? I seriously doubt it.
The demonicRAT PARTY and its partner, Islam, is more of a danger to the world than Russia.
Russia can't project power they are good at defending and using the terrible weather and muddy terrain in Russia against the invaders.
They are having huge issues with a tiny country and their tiny army namely Ukraine.
For fuck sake their opening drive all the tires rotted and fell off their trucks/
Pretty sure the supply guys and maintenance guys all got executed over that one.
Yes you are correct about Russian military failure when they try to project power outside its borders. A few examples of that would be Japan in 1905, East Prussia in 1914, and Poland in 1920. Even the invasion of Finland in 1939 was not smooth going, even tho they did prevail In those 4 instances they got beat up pretty bad. But in defense of the Motherland on Russian soil in 1812, 1916, 1939 in Siberia against Japan & 1941 the Russians fought like demons.
Sum it up? When cultures try to expand their domains over other peoples, it does not work well. The Romans used crucifixion to dissuade folks from trying to defend their value systems, and it did not work much of the time.
Russia has been attacked from all directions over the centuries, the Poles, the Cossacks, the Mongols, the Europeans, and are justly paranoid about allowing anyone to invade. Russia would never put up with the BS the Mayorkas WH foisted on the USA. China, Georgia, Chechnya, NATO. Until Putin invaded Eastern Ukraine, Russia had not tried to invade anyone even after 14 nations joined NATO. All debates have two sides.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has held power in Russia since 2000. His first two presidential terms stretched from 2000 to 2008. And with the Russian constitution forbidding more than two consecutive presidential terms ~ he switched places with his Prime Minister, Dmitry Medvedev, until 2012, when he won his third Presidential election. As of 2022 Putin enjoyed his fourth term. And was re-elected for a fifth 6-year term in a democratic election in 2024.
So, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has held power in Russia, (not the USSR), for 24-years now. In that time how many countries has he initiated military interventions in? Let's us count the ways:
•In 1994 Russia intervened in the two bloody secessionist wars in Chechnya secessionist wars. The hostilities began in 1994, (before Putin was PM) when Moscow went into this territory that had proclaimed its independence in 1991, a month before the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, signed the demise of the USSR. The intervention ended in 1996 with the withdrawal of the Russian Army, the disarmament of the guerrilla, and initiating a process of self-determination.
A chain of attacks occurred in 1999 in Russia and in the neighbouring Russian Republic of Dagestan, which Moscow attributed to Chechen terrorists. In February 2000 Russia seized Grozny, while hostilities continued, which the Kremlin officially ended in 2009.
•In 2008 Georgian troops attacked Tskhinval, the capital of South Ossetia. This triggered the intervention of Russian military forces in support of the South Ossetian militias and forced the Georgians to withdraw. The conflict lasted five days. Two weeks later, Russia recognized the independence of the two territories.
• In 2012 The Kyrgyz government asked Russia to send peacekeepers to control the situation in the Kyrgyz city of Osh, where armed clashes between Kyrgyz and Uzbeks occurred. Russian troops have remained in Kyrgyzstan ever since and has been Kyrgyzstans main ally since. In 2017 the two countries agreed to extend the Russian presence for another 15 years.
•In 2005 Syrian President Bashar al-Assad requested military assistance from Russia initiating an intervention with the Russian Air Force airstrikes in Syria against Islamic State positions. In December 2017 Putin announced the defeat of the Islamic State in Syria as the last jihadist positions on both sides of the Euphrates River were destroyed. On December 11, Putin ordered the withdrawal of Russian troops.
•In January 2022 Kazakhstan was the scene of massive protests. Resulting in riots in Almaty, repressed by Kazakh forces. 10,000 were arrested. To quell the terrorist threat the country’s president, Kasim-YomartTokayev, requested help from the Russian-led post-Soviet military alliance, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). The organization’s members sent 2,000 Russin troops, who left the country days later once order was restored.
•Ukraine. To argue that Putin was not provoked, and was the aggressor in this current ‘war’ is grossly dishonest. And just not true.
A pathetic list by any criteria. So much for Vladimir Putin being a megalomaniac warmongering Dictator wanting to emulate Hitler’s goal of taking over Europe! Compared to the many illegal wars of aggression for regime change conducted by the US in the same period Russia is a rank novice!
Putin has always been democratically elected and never shown any intention of expansionism in his 25-years in power. Why would he want to do so now? And he has no intention of and is not foolish enough to take on NATO and the US in WW3.
Could it be that they are descendants of Germans who moved to Ukraine or USA after WWII?
Is this an issue? What percent of the population might this be?
Was listening to an interesting perspective on Leftist skullduggery.
He was talking about how the left destroys things to maintain power and how Trump is attempting to fix things.
As things are fixed (like crime in Washington DC they are losing their grip on power as a result and sliding down the well in hysterics.
Rinse repeat and the hysterics keep getting worse and more outrageous.
Today, it is putting a ballroom into the White House. Oh, boy, Trump bad. The View looks like a group of idiots, “It is the People’s house. He is destroying the People’s house”. TDS, anyone?
The reach is so strong they have infected Europe and Canada.
Cogent and sober assessment, James. It does come down to our material and financial support. And from what I've heard, Trump provided Zelensky with a reality check when they met on Friday, so one can imagine that he's laid the groundwork for a real breakthrough at Budapest. As for the coterie of lunatics who may shout and scream that Trump "lost" Ukraine, one need only reply with "Afghanistan" and "Biden" in the same breath to quell such ramblings. But in fact, the Ukraine was never "ours" to lose. Regardless, Trump is beyond trying to win the hearts of the left, so what difference does it make? There will be peace in Ukraine despite the efforts of our NATO "allies" to fight to the last Ukrainian.
Trump needs to crush the Left, not win their hearts. Today’s Left is anti-American, not just liberal. Did you see that Mamdani has met with one of the Mullahs involved with 9/11. He has put out his agenda plain and simple and the real problem is that the NYC denizens buy it. Has the heart of America turned that far Leftist????
How does anyone know a Mullah was involved in 9/11? The entire official story is a clown car. They did install an ISIS leader in Syria recently though. That is another shining jewel in the current admin's crown.
Right. Are we sure any mullahs were involved? We know that Bibi said in the immediate aftermath that 9/11 was a very good thing.
Bibi may have been saying that it was about time the USA woke up relative to these terrorists.
Well, there's some next-level Faux-splaining.
Or simply the truth.
Installing ISIS/Al Qaeda in Syria was another of those joint projects of the US/UK/Israel. The UK has just revoked HTS' status as a proscribed (terrorist) organisation, even though they're killing and persecuting minorities all over Syria. Our thick-as-a-post (being polite here) Foreign Secretary went to Syria to welcome Jolani into the fold while his organisation was still proscribed in the UK. One law for me; another for thee ...
Meanwhile, criticising Israel in any way is verboten and carrying a Palestine Action placard can get old-age pensioners jailed, even though Palestine Action is not a terrorist organisation. This is just the start, as the control grid tightens.
Yes, I definitely see the protests being used to shut down free speech in both the UK and US. They’ve got the “conservatives” and “liberals” at each other's throats and unwittingly providing justification to remove their own rights (once again).
It is easy to get black pilled watching this stuff over and over.
It was Turkey that enabled the ISIS guy Julani to take over Syria. But Trump is praising him, just as our European allies always appease Turkey, given its advantageous location and airspace.
Push Turkey and they are in the Russian spere with Nato assets.
Been halfway there for years now, no?
Because that moronic Mullah went public with it.
Because a group of passengers on flight 93 texted that “Mullah” inspired Arabs were involved before they crashed into West Pennsylvania. One of four that day.
Right. About as believable as the "Let's Roll" story or the passports that survived the WTC collapse.
JFC. Cut back on the recreational media, hoss. Americans who disagree with you are not your enemy, the people who TELL you that are your enemy.
Yes. They have. They are captured by the welfare state. The upper middle class and above still are old dogs with their indoctrinated children in the Age of Aquarius, as JHK aptly states.
"from what I've heard, Trump provided Zelensky with a reality check when they met on Friday"
Surely the Green T-Shirt knew immediately upon descending the stairs of his plane that something was amiss. Like no Americans greeting him. Just his own entourage and pilots!
We've been down this road before. Trump comes to this point and then returns to the beginning saying something like, Ukraine needs to defend itself. Then he sends more weapons. The Russians obviously don't take him very seriously at this point. They are going to have to win by their own strength and they will do just that.
Top drawer analysis...on the mark...James should educate VDH on the genesis of this proxy war and what it is about...the coke addict Zelensky could have stopped at any time...but the Azovs...they're the real personal threat...and so he continues the slaughter of every walking male in his coke assisted euphoria..
Why does Western Europe want war?
Their economies are collapsing. Rumor is that France and the UK have asked the IMF for a bailout.
If there's a war, people rally around a common enemy, rather than go after their (criminal) politicians with torches and pitchforks.
As we find in WW1, the banking shareholders are able to transfer the tottering debt from themselves to the public fisc. War is a financial Reset.
War is the obliteration of one side and the ascent of the winner, period.
This is a lesson the USA needs to learn in its stupid war moves, War to win.
They may have asked IMF for a loan but they really need the war because of the Russian frozen assets...and the interest...they have or are dipping into that...when the war comes to an end, Russia will want it back...Do they still have it all? The EU and UK have idiots in charge...primarily women and beta males.
Why do you thing that "I will end all wars on day one" Chump has kept a toe in Ukraine and a giant thumb on the Israel scale?
How does one end a war they are not actively fighting in?
Money and projecting your own power this takes time and if there is no leverage to be applied or both sides are more interested in saving face and acting like fools?
Hey, I don't make the rules, and I didn't make the promise. Amurrica's fake daddy did.
Meh your point is mostly on top of your head.
We get it you are another TDS AFFLICTED fool.
Every time someone around this writer (USMC Infantry Officer circa ‘70’s-80’s) says “we stand with Ukraine” he asks okay then, when are you leaving? The bold bravado of the beltway warriors DaNang Dick Bummenthal and that leader of men John “I was in the room” Bolton harken to a day when talk was cheap and sheep were sheep. These morons. The war is lost, the west as we have known it is lost. We here in the States have a chance, abet slim, of salvaging our own spheres of influence which are specifically in OUR national interests. Monroe Doctrine 2.0 and tell Western Europe have fun storming the castle and see you in the semi finals. Enough. Pull the money from the Middle East, pull the money from NATO and ask the UN to move to Brussels to occupy the empty buildings left by NATO and the collapsed EU. Have open bids revitalize that mess down in Turtle Bay. Or just turn the UN building into the Mamdani Shopping Mall. Story after story of empty selves that from the outside look nice. Speaking of good luck….good luck NY City there is no one coming to rescue you when the tent starts burning down…
Shelves aren't empty in the USA. The problem is that the prices keep spiraling. Have you priced a bag of Cheetos lately?
Speaking as a Canadian, I am shall we say less than thrilled by 'Monroe Doctrine 2.0'. For over 200 years, we've had friendly relations and productive trade with our southerly neighbours. But now, POTUS talks like he's feeling peckish and oh look, here's a bucket of chicken wings within arm's reach. The American empire has been such a fat, grease-sweaty thing. Don't you think a diet could do you some good?
I just spent a week in the shithole state called California trying to visit a few of the barely operating national parks there. Good God what a massive dump that state is. I come from Utah where things are still new and shiny and well kept, for the most part. A gas station in Utah is big, spacious, clean and a place where one feels comfortable stopping for a quick drink and a pit stop. California? Oh my good lord! Gas stations there are relegated to the corner of random intersections with four pumps out front. When one walks in they are met with angry stares from pissed off at the world immigrant from India or Bangladesh who barely speaks English. When one enters the restroom to do some personal business they leave feeling like they need a hepatitis shot. Businesses are boarded up. Businesses that are still open are run down and look like they were just transported from Matamoros Mexico. Homes are falling apart because the residents can't afford to keep them in a state of good repair. Hell, even Oregon was better than California. The Golden State? My big fat ass it is! What a depressed dump. No wonder any self respecting California is bailing for other states and leaving that dump to the angry immigrants who hate everyone and everything.
Anyway, my point, when I went into one of these shitty gas stations to buy my favorite treat, a Mounds candy bar, I was shocked at the price. $3.69! Not for a King size. No, this was a regular size candy bar. A small bag of Doritos chips? $5.50.
I actually found one gas station, it was a dump like all the rest, that was staffed by a friendly white dude. He was kind, polite and seemed happy to have me in his shop. I loaded up on chips, drinks and candy bars just because the dude was happy to have me in his facility. I didn't feel like he wanted to kill me for having the nerve to buy a candy bar in his filthy shop like all the other gas stations with the Indians and Bangladeshis.
You are not entirely wrong California has been all but destroyed by the damn commie DNC types.
REMEMBER THAT WHEN THE GREASY USED CAR SALESMAN Gavin NeWscum starts talking about what a great job he has done destroying CALIFORNIA.
And why, pray tell, do you imagine that the parks might be barely operating at this particular moment in time? Because "California is a shithole state"? Lol. Tell us you've never taken an offramp that wasn't strictly necessary according to your theme park itinerary. Good lord, the willful ignorance is strong with some.
I'm sure you have a point here Fawkes, but I haven't a damned clue what it is.
California is a shit hole. Been all over it. Seen it with my own eyes.
Parks are barely operating because of the idiot politicians in DC. I was well aware of that going in.
What is your point?
Their point was to be a troll of course.
Mission accomplished.
California is what happens when the immigrants take away a big chunk of the tax base of the state. State services deteriorate, ability to give security, (wildfires for example) declines.
I really like the idea that we pass laws to take care of homelessness, that is just a joke. What laws? Put them all in Sacramento?
I remember a report about ten year ago where a Black state legislator was being interviewed from California. He was asked about the outflowing of businesses from California and the middle class with them. His return was that it was a good thing as it allowed more room for more immigrants. What a fool.
The residue that is left from the outflow of businesses are now living on the streets.
The mascot for the California university system should be Alfred E. Newman, What me worry.
Sidebar, then we have Hollywood. Ever wonder why Hollywood hates Trump? He is cutting them off from easy access to drugs, the lubricant of the scum in Hollywood.
Leftist turd from California?
Drugged out zombies all over downtown areas like a scene from the walking dead!
Homeless camps everywhere!
Trash running down all the freeway hills like an avalanche!
Illegal aliens driving like idiots all over pushing their way to the front of lines and have zero manners!
Gas prices a full $2 dollars a gallon over Texas!
Roads worse than some of the roads in third world countries!
Went to a frozen yogurt shop and spent $32 on two small frozen yogurts!
Just so they can pay the stupid illegal alien running the till $25 AN HOUR.
California is a dumpster fire.
There's a genre of social media post consisting of a photograph of a long queue to buy bread or the like, with the caption: "This is life under socialism".
There's another genre of post that consists of a long litany of social realities that make the poster scared, anxious or grumpy, while pointing a finger at their perceived enemies saying, "You caused this!!!"
Some sensible person comes along and points out, "This is life under capitalism". And they look at you like you've got a hole in your head. But where's the lie?
People are drugged out? Provide treatment programs.
Homeless camps? Enact laws to address homelessness. Build low-cost homes with decent quality. End policies that reward housing scarcity. Go full Georgist! Tax land sales to end speculators bidding up the price of homes and pricing younger generations out. Make homes places to live again.
Trash? Pay to clean it. Pay for enforcement against people who dump it.
Illegal aliens' ... driving habits? Gonna need a citation for this one, hoss. Anyway, Joe Biden deported far, far more people than any MAGA adherent will ever give him credit for:
https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/biden-deportation-record
That includes carrying on Trump's Title 42 policies. By ICE's own report, In fiscal 2024 under Biden they removed 271,484 people, more than the ~267,000 they removed under Trump in 2019 or 185,884 in 2020:
https://www.ice.gov/doclib/eoy/iceAnnualReportFY2024.pdf
(Remember, that's ICE's own report. Don't think it was written by commies.)
Gas prices! Who says you have a god-given right to the cheapest gas possible? Ever consider living somewhere walkable? Roads, ditto! Urbanism and walkability was what got me reading and listening to JHK's podcasts, back before he went MAGA-deranged. I miss those days.
$32 for two frozen yogurts? Supply and demand, chief. No one forced you to pay the going rate. Just go get popsicles, it's not like you had cancer or something.
Finally, the 'stupid illegal alien'? Need two citations there, and really, really need a third one for $25 an hour. Seriously, how on earth do you know this? Did you ask the guy? On what planet do illegal aliens have the bargaining power to get $25 an hour out of a frozen yogurt shop? What union represents him? The whole damn reason a shop selling frozen yogurt at $16 a pop hires an illegal alien is because the alien will work for *below* minimum wage and can't complain about it.
Seriously, get your head straight. Let go of your resentments and try to see the world a little bit more as it is.
Another long winded diatribe by the Socialist cock sucker.
Sure Jan. Isn't it crazy that 40M people choose to live in the most populous state in the country, right in the midst of a dumpster fire? What could they possibly be thinking? Why wouldn't' they all just move to the midwest where the living is easy and the sheep are scared? (I've lived damn near dead center of the US, so I'm allowed to say that.)
PS: Please show us on this anatomically correct doll where the scary leftists touched you.
Hey dumbass I live in San Diego this is all firsthand knowledge.
You live in the mid-west so fuck off.
As far as the doll goes right back pocket my $3500 a month apartment rent.
My $600 dollar a year car registration!
My $3,000 a year auto insurance because of all the illegal aliens crashing cars all over!
The $15 dollar hamburger meals for paying idiots with bad attitudes a "living" wage and it looks like another $5 dollar an hour wage increase!
Illegal alien truck drivers who are literally now crashing and killing people all over the country from California handing out drivers licenses to them.
The one saving grace is our weather and when you get out of the ghettos of southern California the areas with no people are stunning.
I am trying to make an escape plan these DEMOCRATS ARE LITERALLY FUCKING CRAZY.
Speaking as a Canadian worry about Canadas issues and there are plenty of them.
I used to really like visiting Canada, especially Montreal and Quebec. But not anymore, the place is a shambles, overrun by diversity, homeless, drugs and drunks. Kinda like NYC, but not as friendly. Had a good friend in Toronto who would visit just to be able to go shopping where there was a real selection of goods and services. She has done this for the last 30 years. Wonder what she knows that you missed?
Your friend can do what she likes, and I'll do the same. One thing I haven't missed, though, is that POTUS has openly declared he can send anyone he wants to a torture gulag in El Salvador. Not just foreigners like me, either; he wants to do it to 'homegrowns'. And if you think that doesn't mean you, or anyone you love or care about, just sit there and do nothing; you'll find out. I, on the other hand, won't be giving him that opportunity. I respect myself, whether he, or you, respect me or not.
Actually, it's not homegrowns, it's non-citizens, many with criminal records, like the "Father from Guatemala" who beat his wife and molested children. There have been many more who have murdered, raped and destroyed innocent citizens all thanks to several administrations policies of open borders leading to the current state of insurrection where many of the president's plenary powers may be lawfully exercised. Wait till the drug resistant TB epidemic warms up, you ain't seen nothin yet.
You're not making as good a case as you think you are. Even if I took your xenophobia at face value, which I don't, the rule of law is far more important than any individual case -- and Trump has triumphantly declared that the rule of law is dead in the USA. Repeating myself, nothing the USA has to offer is worth my self-respect, much less my inalienable rights.
Well said, in the traditional spirit of the founders of the American project. Make America America again.
Xenophobia?
Is that what you think illegal entry into a country is?
Are you insane?
Interesting take, as always, Mr. K. I can add nothing much to it, except to note that the phrase "NATO allies" is a grandiose phrase that means "Losers dependent on America for their continued existence." It was great to win WW II, or at least preferable to losing, but I doubt any American participating in the fighting would have wanted things to turn out as they have.
You're talking about countries that have fought and died side-by-side Americans on countless battlefields, in WW2 and many others since. Now that the American empire is visibly no longer able to sustain itself, your once valued allies are now 'losers'. Sour grapes much?
The 'losers' have made other valuable contributions to American power and prestige -- land for hundreds of US military bases, for instance. As you continue pulling back and the humiliation mounts, you may put on a brave front. But you'll miss all that power and prestige when it's gone.
I may be wrong, but by your reply you give the appearance of being a European, rather than a citizen of the United States. You speak of our allies who have fought side by side with us; do you mean the Germans and Italians between 1941 and 1945? Or the Japanese, perhaps. Surely you can't be referring to our "allies" in the USSR during that same time frame, or the Chinese, both of whom became our global antagonists as soon as the ink was dry on the peace treaties. It is precisely that "allies" can never be counted on to remain such. And who, exactly, benefits from thsoe billion dollar military bases of which you speak? Certainly not America; the expense in blood and treasure has far exceeded any national benefit. Ask any veteran of the Vietnam fiasco, or Korea, if you can still find one alive. Washington was correct in recommending against any kind of permanent foreign alliances. it is well past time for the USA to reconsider its European "alliances," including NATO, whose members have, as correctly observed by President Trump, thought it was their right and duty to economically fleece the USA by sheltering under its military umbrella while restricting trade and seeking to supplant America as the world's trading partner. I meant no disrespect to those who may have fought and died with us during WW II, but remember it was European political animosities and military excursions that required America's involvement in the first place, just as it was in WW I. Europeans began those wars; America finished them to the benefit of humankind. It's time to stop being so solicitous of foreign countries and time to Make America Great Again by Making America First Again. Americans by nature do not desire either "power or prestige," as you suggest; we simply want to be left alone. deTocqueville saw this and he is still largely correct. That a breed of political animals have been allowed to subvert this American ideal is, I admit, to our shame, but we still have an opportunity to remedy that, and we are doing so with every vote we cast against the encroachments of the entrenched political powers that be.
He is an Eastern Canadian loyalist. They are European, socialistic, the residue of the Tories that deserted the USA during the Revolutionary time. They believe in European values, which descend from the monarchies of the Middle Ages. The Revolution was a rejection of those values by the Americans. It is this rebelliousness of the USA that is under attack from the socialistic globalists.
You will never be able to explain individual freedom and responsibility to socialistic folks brought up in societies imbued with government control.
New Zealand has freedoms that dumb Yanks can only dream of!
hahaha
Go take that gun for a shoot whoops.
New Zealand has zero freedoms that the US does not.
There is how ever plenty you Kiwis can't do that we can.
I at least named one.
Go ahead name one and being that New Zealand is a wart on King Charles ass it won't be long before your long-winded hate in religion gets you arrested and thrown in jail.
Do enlighten us, Dennis.
Such a great summation
You're wrong. I'm Canadian, not European. If that makes a lot of your wall of text irrelevant, that's too bad, but I'm afraid it does. You bet on the wrong horse.
This in particular rankles: 'It is precisely that "allies" can never be counted on to remain such.' My friend, can you please name a time when Canada has not been a U.S. ally? There were times when we participated in your military adventures and times when we didn't, but there has never been a time when we were even a shadow of a menace to you, when we stood in the way of your foreign policy in even the smallest way, or in fact did anything except cooperate with you to our mutual profit. Our reward has been for Donald Trump to sandbag us out of nowhere with bullshit about fentanyl and threats to our sovereignty.
See, here's how all this looks to the 95% of humanity that isn't American: Following WW2, the US enjoyed first contested hegemony, then uncontested hegemony once the Soviet Union fell. Those bases you complain about weren't imposed on the USA by the countries it allied with; if anything, they were imposed *by* the USA on its allies. If you personally, or the American people in general, saw no benefit from those bases, that cuts no ice with me at all -- that's a you problem, not an us problem. But the flow of empire has turned to ebb, and where you once saw useful partners, you now see... dinner. That's what we are to you anymore: nice juicy meat on the bone, ready to barbecue.
The statement '"Allies' can never be counted on to remain such' is, in fact projection: you're the ones who have turned on us. The USA is openly threatening every country that ever cooperated with it, and not one of us is as deluded about that fact as you are. No doubt my saying this will upset you, but then, no one expects their dinner to talk back. Save your poor-little-me grievance and entitlement for the rubes.
Make Canada the 51st state :-O
It's already America's Hat.
Wrong end it's where all the trash actually is.
Germany threw off the International Bankers, arrested Rothschild and made him scrub floors before letting him flee. The Jews then declared war. You can google that to see picture of the headlines.
The descendants of Polish Jews will be very surprised to hear that.
Since they hate the Poles so much (as Catholics), why are they still there?
Don't engage with trolls, it's what they want. Monopolizing your attention so he can enrage you with bad faith is his kink.
Eh, this one doesn't even make sense within his own delusion. Others... well, they warrant the smackdown. It's rough trying to own the libs when you can barely rub two sticks together.
The leaders of Europe are not insane at all. They are evil Satanists working a plan to destroy the idea of individualism and personal freedom. Europe has a long history of supporting those ideals, going back at least to the Greeks.
They are Communists, but I think I already said that.
The governments have been infiltrated over time. It is difficult to say whether it is truly worse in Europe or the States. Many an election has been manipulated, IMO, as the probability that so many countries throughout the West would be under Davos/Bankster control at the same time is not particularly high, and the tactics being used out in the open to stifle populist parties are disturbing enough that I have no doubt the ballot boxes are anything but clean.
Yup! In the movie Reagan, He had to face the attempted Commie takeover of the Screen Actors Guild. He made the statement that the foundation of US freedoms could hold off the advance of the Communists. He was right at the time. Today? Maybe not so much as people want their Gimme outlays more than they want their freedom. Apathy and sloth run the show in the cities today. I saw a You Tube piece recommended by a CFNer by Tom Luongo explaining the plan of the globalists to take over the USA. It made way too much sense!!!!! They are advancing!!!!
Old Ronnie brought about the demise of California when he legalized 20 million illegal immigrants. California's demise matches that event nearly to a point. Why? Now all these angry anti-American immigrants could vote. Way to go Ronnie boy!
Seriously, have we ever had a president in since the 1800s who actually did something good for America? Other than Trump?
Remember that he made a deal with the Dems to legalize those immigrants, they would start to enforce the border. Reagan kept his word, the Dems lied as they always do.
A capitalist and John Lockean believes that people and markets work well for running things and government is a small but necessary evil that must be controlled and regulated. That shows how much things have changed as now the government thinks that the people need to be controlled and regulated.
Eisenhower sent many people home during his administration. It will never be published, but I would bet that dollars to donuts a correlation indicating cause could be shown for lousy economics being tied into illegal immigration.
One thing the Leftists are good at is outworking the opposition They double down on everything and the ground game is solid. Moderates, conservatives, and 'old school' Liberals do nothing. "Playing nice" isn't going to end well.
Desire to do evil is a strong motivating factor. Desire to be left alone is a weak one.
Absolutely agree, it is the central message of the Revelation, that evil is more appealing to Mankind, until God shows up.
The Dem party believes that evil is justified by their ends. The Conservatives do not believe that as much.
Revelation is nonsense.
Many in putting together the Bible wanted it thrown out.
ANYTHING can be read into it.
Besides, who gives a rat's arse what's in that old Book?
Tom Luongo is marvelously smart! A bit loquacious , and loud, but I love listening to him!
JHK did a great Podcast with Luongo a while back. Can't recall the Podcast Number, but probably easy to find by searching Jim's archives. Didn't I see you on the 2025 Top 10 List of America's Badass Grannies?
Yep…that was me🤭🤭
His You Tube presentation put a real organized plan in my head of what the globalists are up to. Glen Beck is another that educates well with his chalkboard discussions.
Glenn tends to pull back to soon.
It's terrible here, but it's worse in Europe.
Not so sure. I am American, but I live in Europe. Once Convid disappeared, I can't say anything has gotten worse, and in Germany, they were not able to ram through a clot-shot mandate, which they did do under Biden.
That is true, but Europe is mostly disarmed and the crisis of third-world invaders appears to be more acute in many areas of Europe.
I left my prior job, due in large part to refusing the kill shot. I actually had a co-worker yell at me and tell me that I was the reason the plandemic wouldn't end.
As a female, I'll take my chances in a big city in the US over a big city in Western Europe. If I get raped/ assaulted by a "migrant" here, there is a chance there will be justice. In Europe, it seems that the crime will be brushed under the rug, charges will be dropped and I might even go to jail if I resisted and injured the migrant rapist.
Yes. European leaders are delighted when migrants rape white women and girls. If the offended party were to speak out against it or take to social media, they would be arrested.
Correction, slight tho' it be. It's "the bosses of the leaders of Europe". They are your sociopathic devil worshippers. Never confuse puppets with the puppeteers.
Are you aware of the distinction between communist and socialist ideaologies? Or are you actually arguing that western europe is mostly operating under communist government?
Similarly, that there is a difference between a commonwealth and communist structure?
Another brilliant commentary and analysis by one of my journalistic heroes, JHK.
However, I would submit that even James has not gone far enough in his explanations and permutations when it comes to the Ukraine debacle that we are now engaged in.
One thing he has not touched on is the absolute insanity and debauchery of the man who is currently the leader of Ukraine and the person who is most responsible for continuing the unnecessary KILLING and DESTRUCTION.
How TF is it even possible that WE the People / Tax Slaves of America are sacrificing our blood and treasure on this freak Zelensky who is a former Drag Queen and lousy "comedian" who played the piano with his penis as part of his act?? THIS IS LIKE THE STORY OF THE EMPEROR with NO CLOTHES for god's sake. Doesn't ANYONE get it??
Furthermore, the little degenerate Z-man doesn't even have the respect or civility to WEAR A GODDAMN SUIT and dress appropriately when he meets with OUR PRESIDENT TRUMP for example.
It is an INSULT to US that President Trump even talks to this little scumbag, let alone supply him with billions of dollars in support- money that is coming out of OUR pockets. The next time that Zelensky tries to call our President, they should hang up on him. If he shows up, have the guards throw him out on his degenerate ass.
It seems like all the "smart" people fell for the joke. And these are the bastards that are controlling our destiny, that could engage us in WW 3, that have the power to destroy Western Civ- and they are too stupid to realize they have been CONNED by a two bit, low life clown that nobody ever heard of.
FUCK ZELENSKYY- LET HIM ROT IN HELL .
Nanny, love the boldness AND my thoughts exactly on “Z” but without mentioning the witch Victoria Nuland, who I believe “installed” penis playing Z!
I did note elsewhere just how much blood and treasure has been sacrificed by that one color revolution in 2014 by the CIA/Nuland gang.
And it is still raging.
While your description of Z is dead on the money, the fact is that he was placed there by design by the very same Eurocrats who orchestrated this entire mess from the get go. This is THEIR doing and he is no more than their puppet. Trump is fully aware of this fact, yet must entertain the illusion that he needs to “negotiate” the peace with him.
Trump has stated frequently that if Europe and the UK insist on maintaining the prosecution of this war they are free to buy arms from US manufacturers but we are in the process of divesting ourselves from the whole sordid mess. It’s now going to be on them, and he knows, and they know, they are incapable of doing any such thing.
The meeting in Budapest comes on the heels of him having had more than enough of the charade that is slaughtering millions, and he will now force the issue to a standoff: Either Z signs on to the presidents terms or he’s going to cut him, and by proxy the EU, loose once and for all. They have been hoisted upon their own petard. Without the US as their backstop they are all dead in the water. They know it, but more importantly Trump knows it. The end.
Seems like McCain and Lindsay Graham might have had something to do with his "placement" as well.
Trump is owned by the same people who owned McCain and who own Graham. Expect little to change in terms of Ukraine. Let's not forget the absolute stupidity of the Ukrainian people for following the little troll - who isn't Ukrainian and doesn't care about them.

THANKS, DEB!
He wore a suit last Friday.
Such a great take on such a sleazy situation. Created by neocons beholden to the weapons lobby, Victoria Nuland and her regime-change CIA, and big pharma pals, they decked out the border of Ukraine with bio-labs on Putin’s doorstep while inching ever closer by stretching NATO eastward. Putin could care less about what he sees as a feckless and suicidal Europe, and wants them to stay where they are while the invited Muslims wipe them out. He sees little Z for the stupid incompetent tool that he is, and a threat to his country. He should wipe them out, and DJT would be wise to step back, and let him do it. No more US dollars to the kleptocrats ruining their country. Putin is a far more useful ally than Z ever would be. Russia is still sane and Muslim-free; my money is on them. Z sees the writing on the wall; his days on earth are numbered. Hope that Swiss stash is accessible, because only Mrs. Z will be able to enjoy it!
Millions of Muslims live in the Moscow area alone. They are a most profound threat to Russia - one that Putin refused to come to terms with.
My theory on the embarrassing “no kings” antiquefa hoard is that surely there are some reliving the Age of Aquarius but my bet is that most were geeks & goodie-2-shoes back in the day, missed out, are trying to make up for being losers in the Swinging 60s & now think they’re trailblazing rebels.
And yes, I’m a boomer who got all of that out of my system way back when, when the young are expected to be dopes. I look at these asshats & think “yep, still geeks & goody-2-shoes”….
"trailblazing rebels."
Laughed out loud on this one for real.
The walkers, canes, pushy carts and wheelie chairs kinda slows that trail blazing down a tad!
"Antiquefa" - LOVE it!!
By time these 'trail blazers' were finished failing spectacularly wearing their "craft day" crowns, complete with glitter and everything, and after chatting excitedly on the ride back to their respective lodges via the rented tour busses, about how they 'stormed' the scene with heroic cat-like qualities (you know, the kind where "SUNBEAM!!" - automatic nap time), I would imagine their extra jello cup that was promised to them tasted mighty fine. LOL.
To commemorate their win, they turn on the tv in excitement to witness the captured material of the gloriousness of their movement whereupon realization hits them, they truly did look like retards, they weren't as speedy as they imagined, and all 20 of them in each location did NOT have any impact. At all. Whatsoever. More like sad little lemonade stands with no lemonade! And no stand!!
Oh well, at least it was an outing and they got to see lots of blow up plastic animals being more retarded than them. Next on the agenda, taking each other out via Bingo.
Great comment Cindi.
Ask Ron about the Gray Panthers and other senior citizen gangs. Much of the state is a vast oldster ghetto. Blacks reading books on park benches are assaulted by these goons all the time.
Senior citizen gangs like in the House & Senate that also abuse the citizenry
Gee Soros and Son!, is that the best you could come up with - NO KING?
Thx DD! Can’t take credit for “antiquefa” as I saw it on another ‘stack but I loved it!
Grantifa~!
Ukraine aka Khazaria is the home of the FemiNarcissist group "Femen" and is led by a cross dresser with a touch of the dragon blood. In Russia, in contrast, proselytizing for trans and pedos has been outlawed. Pretty clear Ukraine shares US/NATO/EU/WEF values and the US and its masters will not give up Khazaria easily.
I think you underestimate the power of the No Kings rallies. They have good marketing, an easy to digest message and a clear target- they despise Trump. I read that Trump's approval is at an all time low 37%. That may or may not be true. Trump is angering Left and Right. I'll trade Trump and a player to be named later for Massie. We need a new movement and a new party.
So you’d trade Trump because he is the target of lawless renegades paving the way to hell? Yes, you’re part of the problem, not the solution.
No Paul, you and your damned sayanim are in fact the problem! Who funded the No Kings rally? Who was it that paid all those idiots to stand outside and cry "orange man bad!" ??
Massie is in a difficult position. Apparently he can't be bought and 'they' have nothing to use as blackmail. IMO his wife's early demise has question marks around it. He is silent except to extoll her virtues and positive impact upon his life.
Massie seems to be an upstanding guy and I agree that his wife's death appears sketchy. His problem is that he still clings to zany libertarian ideas. Economic Down's Syndrome.
Consider those libertarian ideas keep him out of the L-R axis, which is divisive. He irritates many, but apparently not many of his constituents. Ron Paul did much the same.
"zany libertarian ideas"?!
You mean like Austrian Economics?
Capital centralizes. A few end up owning everything. As the old alchemists said, Nature (capitalism) unaided, fails. The market is just the jungle. You extoll it. We want it turned into a garden. The big boys play ball with the nation or they can fucking leave.
Or fiscal and monetary conservatism? Throwing money at all the problems in the country rarely solves anything other than making the .gov larger and more unmanageable. Overspending is the root of economic down's syndrome, as it were.
Right. Where is Patrick Buchanan?
Probably on his recliner.
In his dotage
Your opinion is equivalent to the fact you have an asshole.
Learn to wipe.
No Kings cost about $294 million was organized through Indivisible Foundation which is funded by a lot of left wing foundations including Soros, Fidelity Investment, Bloomberg Family Foundation, Silicon Valley Community Foundation, Will and Flora Hewlett Foundation and Arabella funded by Tides Foundation and Zuckerberg, The Rockefeller Foundation, Soros Open Society, USAID, The Ford Foundation for the big money oligarchs plus a lot of small donors funded by the same sources plus USAID and National Endowment for Democracy and other USG cutouts that have been using taxpayer money to create a color revolution in the US. See @DataRepublican (small r) on X for in depth details. Note that the NYC protest broke up at 1pm precisely because that is when the 4 hour payment stopped.
Looks like a poster lost his posting name yet again.
How may times have you been banned and yet here you are spouting the same bullshit.
You really need a good cleaning everywhere. But proud fools despise God and correction.
The Rabbis demand that God apologize to the Jews. Proud fools as you say.
The rallies are put together and attended by the same people who already don't like Trump anyways. The polarization is already so strong that it is unlikely that anyone on the fence will be swayed, and most of the middle has long since figured out that both parties are largely a sham.
What might undo Trump are the issues on which he does exactly what the globalist crowd wants. I am more and more arriving at the conclusion that he now exists to sell the technocracy to anyone not on what would be defined as the American left.
Yes, Trump is losing his own people. I voted for him three times because of the Nationalist/Populist orientation from Bannon et.al. he represented, even though I cant stand anything about the guy. His refusal to come clean about the Covid Democide and do what is right there has me livid. He is still murdering people by not banning the bioweapon and helping the world get justice. Then there is his prostituting himself to the wealthy Jews to help them with their supremacist fantasies. Or, it is fear for his life. In any event Trump seems to love the big corporations too, especially if they pay him off. We need a better Nationalist/Populist.
Oh where is this mystery person? Trump is one guy trying to Shane the current in a maelstrom. Why can’t people just give him support in his “war” against the globalist takeover of America? I do not agree with his position on the Vaxx after learning about is uselessness and potential dangers, but his clobbering of the Ult-Left especially the immigration and education bullshit of the Left overwhelms anything else on the table for me.
Jim K. has steadfastly held back his judgement on DJT. I think his and Trump's time may have just come. The world was on the brink of nuclear war over those Tomahawks, when Trump took Putin's phone call and listened to sense for 2 and 1/2 hours.
Yes, I agree with pretty much all of this--sadly.
Trump received a clean bill of health Friday night after completing advanced imaging, lab tests, and preventive health assessments with a team of specialists who found his cardiac age is a whopping 14 years younger than his actual age of 79.
The president also received several vaccines – including his annual flu shot and a COVID-19 booster – ahead of his trip to the Middle East, Barbabella noted in his memo.
This headline in the MSM caused a hustle in our small county to get jabbed up for winter… no matter how many negative posts on SM the citizens “believe” in the President. It’s hard to watch… our city is county seat… a Walmart now with lines for their jabs.
Please read this sober piece of work. Nothing else matters: https://peacelibertyprosperity.substack.com/p/the-most-incredible-story-never-told?utm_source=substack&utm_campaign=post_embed&utm_medium=web
I started reading and realized I’ve read it before.. my “like” is on it. Thank you for the referral.
Real populists get shot or shot down.
Huey Long - "Every man a king", cut down in his prime. A populism far more radical than any ever preached on these shores, left or right.
well they've fooled you at least.
zzzzzzzzzz
"You under estimate the power of No Kings rallies"? "Trump is angering Left and Right."??
This is what I’m here for: “Their populations are demoralized, emasculated, in thrall to the menopausal viragos in their councils and ministries.” Words like “virago” used in perfect context.
This is what I am not here for: Gratuitous attacks on women for their genes.
You completely miss the contextual accuracy of his statement. Lighten up, Mable!
It’s an observation of reality. Not gratuitous and certainly not an “attack”.
P'Shaw!
It is not a government shutdown, as much as it is a stalemate, over doing something illegal (funding free healthcare for all illegals, including SNAP benefits) versus doing what is legal - finishing the deportations and getting those who are not supposed to be here and are costing too much - out of the country. We are clearly not going back into the insane asylum business, so protect yourself responsibly in public, from the insane clowns on the loose out there.
Thanks JHK, I look forward to your Monday and Friday posts. That the common interests of USA and Russia outweigh their differences should be obvious to any impartial observer. But, but, but, they say, Trump and Putin are literally Hitler.
Failure in this attempt at peace could result in the USA becoming a glowing ash tray.
What the sociopathic globalist oligarchs most fear is that land bridge from Alaska to Siberia. Imagine those natural partners America and Russia united against the world.
CORRECTION! United to help the world.
There was talk about an actual tunnel between the two countries.
It's such an obvious thing. No wonder it hasn't been done!
Actually, we need to stand back eh? the peaceful partnership betw. Russia and America flies in the face of the long held fear expressed most recently by Zbigniew Brezinski. Add on MacKinder. Except that they envisioned a threat from a unified Eurasian continent free from the tyranny of the oligarchs. Not a unified North America and Russia.
I may be wrong, but what I envision would be a partnership between the United States of America and the Russian Federation - to the mutual benefit of both. Also given they are both, essentially Christian nations, this partnership could bring forth a new global morality.
Won't happen unless China threatens Russia more directly.
Would love to go to Russia but not with the current guy in charge and their little war with Ukraine.
That's what Lindbergh wanted. His opponents were the same as ours today: the Internationalist Jews and their liberal allies.
Lindbergh Senior or Junior?
Both I think, but definitely Junior, the more famous one.
You mean the Nazi lover?
Do please provide some shred of this dubious allegation.
Seems like Trump made Bibi jump for the peace deal and had harsh words for him for breaking some of the prepeace steps.
Nice try but you look like a complete moron.
War is obsolete. The organized globalists will line up on the Hudson to take the surrender of the USA before the war starts. The Dems plus RINOs will be there as soldiers of the victors. God will NOT be smiling.
What no one ever mentions is that it is not "the Europeans" who have messed their own floor with doo-doo. The governments of Europe are not in control of those countries. They were taken over by some very, uber-powerful oligarchs of the Davos Complexion, and that's how hordes of Mohammedans wound up there. All the better to really screw things up royally.
Breck the Mohammedans have been there for a thousand years and are now simply out breeding the actual people who are natives there.
