I submit Tina Kotek, Oregon's Gov. It would be easy as she got into office through a scheme with a Cannabis company. Lots of cash. Probably could tie it to cartels.
I always thought, "Do the opposite of what we are supposed to do or have been told to do." Everything that is said to be true is a lie. The people who are cast as "disinformation super-spreaders" are the most important people we should listen to.
Federal Law Enforcement has no right to operate in the states unless they are requested by the Governor. If the President declares a VALID emergency he can supercede this. But there are no VALID emergencies now in the states. So deploying the troops now is illegal. Posse Comitatus.
So Antifa is good to go to burn down buildings and obstruct the Government in executing the Laws of the Nation?The very same people Who elected the said Government ask for law/order?What happened to CKirk and in Chicago over the W/E along with Portland in my mind is putting the Nation on the Cusp of insurrection...be ready...it's coming.
I don't know if the video is still on the internet, but a couple of years ago a mob of protesters, after rampaging in Spokane, announced their intention to move on to Coure d'Alene, Idaho. When they rolled into town in their white vans they were greeted by a few hundred residents that were armed to the teeth. One protester got out of his van with a big hammer in his hand and made some menacing gestures. A defender with a rifle slung across his chest, a pistol on his hip, and a shotgun in his hands calmly walked up to the protester and took the hammer from him. He got back in his van and the procession of vans left town. No matches were struck and no windows smashed. I don't know whether there were any further assaults on Coure d'Alene, but I doubt it.
That's not true. They can protect Federal interests. FBI is in all the states, Federal buildings are in all the states, ICE facilities are federal, etc.
Posse Comitatus is suspended under declaration of the Insurrection Act, which is clearly where this is heading. Insurrection Act may already be implicitly in force: seditious conspiracy and treason are clearly afoot.
Okay, no valid emergencies. What exactly would you call a valid emergency.
The Left is murdering people, tearing down cities, thumbing their nose at the Law, misinforming the American public, over and over. You might feel different if you had kids that were constantly under the influence of the drug and crime lords, also of the Left.
I do not understand why the “Bosses” are not prosecuted, the billionaires driving the Leftist ship. George Soros and the Rockefeller’s would be a great start.
Posse Comitatus is a joke. It was conceived post Civil War to stop the Northern military from continuing to invade the South. It has nothing to do with today other than trying to excuse the travesty the Left now displays. The officers of this country, including the military take an oath to protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. It is the truth that America faces more serious enemies domestically than foreign. For the preservation of the Constitution, the military should be fighting the crime families and the Antifa movements, screw the idiotic Posse Comitatus. If it takes temporary federal control to stop the invasion of the USA by foreign crime, so be it. The alternative is chaos. Just look around at history, lots of regimes descending into chaos to their destruction. Look at JHK’s picture today, it is the Left trying to destroy America using globalism and the resultant importation of crime to do the job.
You know what valid emergency is so why do you ask ? A valid emergency is one that is declared as such by GOVERNMENT ! It's not okay for Trump to act as if he's 'the decider'. What's your legal proof that Antifa and Crime families are as dangerous as you claim ? PROOF please. You don't decide if Posse Comitatus is a joke. Tune in. It's the law of the land. 'The Left is murdering people (yeah Who ?), tearing down cities (yeah which ?), thumbing their nose at the Law, misinforming the American public, over and over.' Sorry friend it's the lying Republicans who constantly misinform and mislead the American Public. Just like this government shutdown. All the Dems want is an extension of the ACA tax credits and a reversal of the severe Medicaid cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill. But the Republicans mislead. They claim that the Dems want to give free Health Care to illegal aliens. What a crock of shit. But that's what the Repubs do all the lime... MISLEAD the public...
Charlie Kirk, for starters, Minneapolis, Portland, and Seattle.
I will ask you, what would you do to solve the border crime and drug problem, ignore it like the Dems want to do? You are obviously on the other side, so be it.
Sorry,the government cannot afford any more medical giveaways as Obamacare and Medicaid have turned out to be. Both are bankrupt in a few years, what would you do about it then when there is no medical assistance programs left because of over expenditures. There were no cuts anyway, just removal of people that do not warrant Medicaid. I do not want to discuss the biggest lie this side of the Vaxx, Obamacare.
The proof of the pudding of the Gimme attitude of America, and obviously you, is the $37 trillion debt that has been accumulated. What exactly is your solution for the debt? To have even More spending?
Democrats for sure with absolutely no concept of money, taxes, budgeting, austerity. Just print and spend more, your answer for everything.
Don't be ridiculous. POTUS is the ultimate "decider" as mandated and authorized by the U.S. Constitution.
Leading Dems have already admitted that they want to give free health insurance to illegals. They've lied about this before and they're lying about it now, just as you are.
The Left is all about State's rights now that their enemies have the Federal Government. If they didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.
Federal Troops cannot enforce any law if they are not invited into a state by its Governor. The president cannot dictate where troops go unless extreme circumstances justify this. Currently, there's no reason for the president to send the National Guard into these states.
Ha, that again makes me laugh. Will it take tearing down your town to make you wise up to what is going on? This is purely another political game, with the idiotic Dems ignoring the crime and drug situations in their cities to offset Trump. Have you even listened to the man on the street interviews where the people of the cities are begging for the national Guard to restore order. Have you even listened to the Democrat mayor of DC thanking Trump for stopping the crime wave in DC?
I have not heard one single idea of yours to “fix” the crime problem. Ignoring it is not a solution, Democrat.
For generations, we had no Department of Defense, only offense. At last we have a military willing to protect us - but they're going to ask permission from the evil system? The Nazgul (the Nine Black Riders) who ruled Trump had no "standing"?
False. The FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies (EPA, BATF, CBP, ICE, etc.) investigates all interstate crime, superseding states' rights enumerated in the 10th Amendment.
POTUS disagrees with your opinion regarding emergencies.
Did you misspeak federal law enforcement has the right to enforce laws in all Us states and territories using the military as law enforcement is no go without a declared emergency. Except where in they are protecting federal property. They can be deployed to all federal properties by executive order.
Fine... let them protect Federal Properties and Federal Properties only. Unless the Governor requests them. But THAT'S not what they're doing. Executive overreach...
Hey GENIUS... they are in the states WITHOUT a declared insurrection !!!! None of the states want them. But they're imposed upon the states anyway. That's criminal. Not surprising though. Since the executive orders were issued by a felon.
Doubtful he has been two steps ahead of everyone on the other side and it took them lying, changing laws temporarily and falsely up charging the President.
Millions of prosecutions and none of them have been turned from infractions to felonies except for Trump.
This flies against the basic tenant of equal protection/prosecution under the law.
Roberts just wants everything concerning his Court to be about what a great CJ he's been, how fair and principled he is, yadda yadda. Thus the screaming match he had with Justices Thomas and Alito in mid-December 2020, when there were appeals regarding election fraud. Roberts reportedly screamed that they couldn't even look at the information without having all of the Court's personnel massacred and Washington SC burned to the ground by Antifa and BLM. That's who we're counting on for justice and the salvation of the country?
Boy, I agree with that. The entire conservative side of the Deep State is scared to death of the Ult- Left and what they are capable of. This has no other prognosis than the death of the Republic or the earth of the Ult-Left. There is no compromise available. The shutdown going on right now may be the start as more and more Americans will be hurt by their Gimme dependence on this government.
I’ve met many federal employees. There is a fair percentage of gimmes. But I think John might be talking about a whole other class of professional grifters.
I’m a private consultant working for local government. I could easily expand my business if I could find good employees. I’ve learned never to hire anyone whose entire experience is from .gov, no matter how senior or which level of government. I have yet to encounter any of them with critical thinking skills or a work ethic. They consistently overcharge, under-deliver and leave me redoing the work for free. They’re also impossibly slow because they have never sung for their supper. It’s horribly rude to customers - you know, the taxpayers.
I dunno, man. Someone already attempted to assassinate Kavanaugh and 2 other Justices. Only the presence of Deputy U.S. Marshals stopped him. I don't think SCOTUS will forget that.
(Yes, I know he immediately surrendered to said Deputies. But if they weren't there one must assume he would have carried out his plan.)
If, per my maxim, "every important truth-seeking organization is fully captured," that would include the U.S. Supreme Court. Plus, (hate to say it, but what the heck?) the White House, Congress, State Houses, governors, corporate CEO, Big Finance, Big Media, Big Tech, Big Education, Big Medicine, Big Science, Big Pharma, etc.
IMO Substack's influence as an important check on power has now been "de-amplified" and this project will no doubt continue.
"We the People" better wake up and, as they say in the military, "get hot."
A ruling against a rogue judge is one thing but legislating anything to do with Antifa, transtifa, blm or any other group that is currently engaging in violence they simply won't deal with.
I live in Newsom land. Ever since I saw that ridiculous photo spread of him and Kimberly Guilfoyle trying desperately to look like Jack and Jackie I've known he'll do anything to get to the White House, he'll turn CA into a gulag where we can't call his bluff (hate speech!) and our vote doesn't matter, so he can prove to his party he should win the nomination. Having watched him I don't think he's enough interested in anything but his own face - he doesn't care what he turns America into, he just wants his own museum, dollar bill, Rushmore … And speaking of rigging, no one will convince me that Kamala's book is #1 on bestseller lists because people are actually buying it rather than some donor buying the thousands of copies to get that slot for her — then dumping them. And now I kinda like Kimberly because she's just waiting to give what she has on Newsom.
Is Adam Carolla now the Voice of Reason in your state? I really don't see another person speaking up against the tyrannical and maniacal rule of The Mighty and Powerful Newsom. Beside you, of course.
The Wall Street Journal just published a good story on the death of Hollywood and the movie/TV business. I knew this was going to happen, but it's happening even faster than I thought. Hollywood is dying faster than MSM newspapers, magazines and websites.
Yes, Kevin Kiley and Newsom is trying to redistrict him so he'll be voted against by Marin County. Meanwhile, I'm sure Newsom is going to go after Adam for hate speech. I would just like to know how much of our tax money goes for cocaine.
Oh yeah! I do believe that the Hollywood fascination with the Left stems from a desire for cheap and available drugs. The crime networking in California must be horrendous.
Well, Chevron tried to make a point by moving to Texas, and they blew up their refinery. Idiots, now Chevron will never return.
I was heading out to Newsome Land next week to visit some national parks in that state. Thanks to Chuck Shumer and the fucking Democrats for screwing up my vacation plans. Sons of bitches. God I hate politicians. There has never been a more worthless human being than a politician. Period. Lawyers are close but politicians are more worthless.
It's time for a new Congress. A congress that is selected through a bi-annual draft of net tax paying native born US citizens. Drafted for one Congressional 2 year term of service. They attend 1 three month legislative session, are paid a stipend for their time, pass a budget, consider new legislation if necessary, and then go home, back to their jobs.
Congress should NOT be a full time career position for leaches and grifters who do nothing but cause serious issues and inflict harm on the people of this nation.
Again, Americans should be pissing razorblades in anger at the colossal failure that is the US congress. The States could unite and make the changes under Article 5 of the US Constitution but the state politicians can't pull their heads out of their own asses long enough to unite and do anything either.
Partisan politics have destroyed the USA and turned this nation into a global laughing stock. If only Shumer and the all the other 535 assholes that populate the US Congress actually knew and understood how much the people hate and despise them they wouldn't be walking around with that smug "I'm important so worship me" look on their pudgy faces.
I dare anyone on this comment thread to tell me what the US Congress has done lately that has benefitted them personally. Anyone???? Seriously. I can't think of anything.
Washington, besides warning us against "foreign entanglements" also despised "the Party man." While I continuously rail against the 17th amendment, I am also reminded that originally, the guy who came in 2nd became Vice President. Of course that was when we still had this idea of a Republic only being possible with a moral populace.
Washington's farewell address was prophetic. It should be mandatory reading in all schools today. Ha. The half-whit teachers would never understand the language a self-educated man like Washington used in his address. He speaks a form of the English language that has largely gone extinct.
I believe the government is a bright reflection of the people who created it or permit its existence. A truly righteous people would have no tolerance for wicked government and would work hard to eliminated it. We aren't a righteous people anymore. So the government grows and persists.
Congress (the Republicans only) recently passed the Big Beautiful Bill which kept federal income tax rates where they're at currently. If they hadn't acted, beginning Jan. 1st, 2026, EVERYONE'S taxes would have gone up approximately 3 percentage points, or $3,000 on every $100,000 of taxable income. Everyone means the 60% who actually pay any tax at all.
The BBB also continues to grow the Federal debt and deficit by trillions. It may have some good stuff in it but by and large still isn't good for the American people.
With half of the country clinically insane and most of the elected officials bought and paid for by foreign countries I shudder to think of what insanity an Article 5 convention would come up with. Anyway, we need a full time Congress to deal with the damage caused by the previous full time Congresses.
I grew up in L.A., so very glad I left some years ago. Newsom is 150% pure evil. I read that he has a dungeon under his home where he tortures/rapes children. I don't doubt it. He was recalled by 93% of the voters 2 yrs ago but ignored it and stayed in office. That info comes from 2 different people who counted the votes for the recall.
You may be interested in this short video, which is a news clip - when I saw this, I was livid. This is what they are doing to those poor folks whose homes were 100% destroyed in Pacific Palisades, several months after their insurance companies cancelled the homeowner's home insurance. Their homes burnt, now they have NOTHING:
Maybe; but elections have been stolen for decades - especially in California. I lived there and saw fraud myself when I went to vote and that was 4 yrs ago.
Tesla invented DEWs a century ago, they are real. And yes there are firebugs but in L.A., where I grew up many years ago, there is more than enough evidence of DEWs and also of people starting fires and probably paid by politicians. This was a coordinated effort, I've spent tons of time researching this and I know L.A. - this was just a few fire bugs, this was coordinated by govt. I know what I'm talking about.
You misunderstand me I am well aware they exist but to use one to start fires is asinine and every crazy person always says the following..."this was coordinated by govt. I know what I'm talking about."
Was that city, county, state or federal?
Thats a lot of people in in the caper man. /rolls eyes
Just saying it was the gubbermint man I was there I know what I am talking about makes you at the least seem suspect and fringe.
The best plans are simple and direct.
A couple of creeps playing with matches and the crazy winds do all the hard lifting.
You don't "know" anything you "think you know" but you don't and we may never know the full story.
I am seeing dozens of fires a month all over San Diego county.
They are mostly homeless people or lightening strikes.
Santa Ana winds are game changers even a tossed cigarette can be devastating.
Trump is up against the globalist NGO's funded by you, starting with the International Republican Institute(IRI); McCain used to run it and he was besties with George Soros.
Yep. I often wonder if he purposely defied flight protocols leading to being shot down...
In his book he admittedly called him self a 'f*ckup'. I was new to the Army when the 'Keating FIve' thing happened and I never looked the same at him again. Disgusting.
He tried to compromise with the evil that the Left represents. We owe our rotten state of affairs to him and all the other RINOs that destroyed the integrity of the US Congress.
Not sure Trump is Bibi's bitch; Trump is navigating what he was left with and moving away from him and his never-ending war. His 'negotiating' through Qatar is a sign.
The whole region is a globalist shitshow by design; the same NGO's 'make money' via the worlds taxpayers to perpetuate war for gains to the wealthy whether it is oil companies or whatever.
The Middle East is convoluted by the Quran whose zealous followers will do anything to kill Jews (and the rest of us) to promote Islam around the world. Jesus taught to convert people’s heart through love and compassion, Mohammed taught and wrote to convert people’s heart through war and taxation. As long as Shia, ie zealous Islam exists, there will be war.
But that's not the way Christianity is typically spread. As the Jesuits said, the pagans will not hear the gospel until they have heard the cannon. Cannon then canon.
You are right, Gaul was converted by force. Jesus however did not preach conversion by force, people came up with that. Islam is based on conversion by war.
Just last week Trump called Netanyahu to the White House, absent the color guard, to tell him how things are going to proceed. Now we have the 20-point Gaza revitalization plan where all sides compromise in order to achieve a lasting peace.
The "tell" to me is cozying up to Big Pharma and Pfizer's CEO - at multiple events. If that guy can't be cast as a demon incarnate nobody can be cast in that role.
IMO: Until somebody takes down Big Pharma, nothing positive is going to happen via the political or "democratic" process.
Bill Rice! You are so right! Perhaps you are aware of Ivan Illich, the author of "Medical Nemesis." In his chapter titled, "The Invention and Elimination of Disease," he states: "Sickness is a symptom of political corruption and will be eliminated when the government is cleaned up."
Wow! Does that say it all?
Then: "If a society continues to need hospitals, this is a sign that its revolution has failed."
You are very astute in your comment as I feel that so few see through this blatant corruption. I have to force myself to stop with this comment as I could go on forever quoting from Illich's remarkable book. I hope that it is still available, because it sounds that you would probably read it in one sitting, and then return to it as his knowledge of history on this subject is very impressive.
I saw something different. I saw Trump basically cranking Bourla's arm in a hammerlock behind his back. "Go with my idea for lowered prices and maybe we can go easy on the BS you pulled during Covid." Just my guess based on experience.
something similar... Pay attention. Removing Thimerosal from the vaxs and quaxs, while putting the adjuvant Al in the crosshairs makes current manufacturing impossible. If you do not understand that disclosure educate thyself. DJT absolutely destroyed the Vax Quax biotech companies by defunding and exposing. Stupid American believed that health comes from needles. Thank the Medical Cartel and over 99% of MD's.
Like dogs are food motivated the Chinese are money motivated they will sell anything used sewage grease, body parts and their daughters into sexual slavery.
I'd say the answer is yes - Russia is doing a pilot program on digital ID, tied into everything of course, the same as the UK just launched, the same as we will have "to stem illegal immigration", and as exists in China now. Apparently, in some buildings in China, you have to be accepted by facial recognition or the door won't open.
Interesting question, SD. What is the role of BRICS+, where does its financial support come from? Are the Yuan, Ruble and Rupee independent of the IMF and all it controls? Great minds want to know.
"Does Western big money and the oligarchs control the Chinese leadership too, and India's, and Russia's, or just the US and the West?" ~ SocratesDetroit
AI Overview
BRICS fund their projects primarily through the New Development Bank (NDB), which raises capital from member countries and international markets, and by issuing bonds in local currencies to fund infrastructure and sustainable development projects in emerging economies. The NDB also offers loans and guarantees, and a guarantee fund is being established to attract more private capital and share investment risks. Additionally, the BRICS group has the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA), a common fund among member central banks to provide support during currency crises.
Sources of Funding
New Development Bank (NDB):
Member Contributions: The NDB receives capital from its expanding membership, which includes original BRICS countries and newer members like Bangladesh, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates.
International Markets: The bank also raises funds by issuing bonds in international markets and in local currencies to diversify its funding sources and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar.
Guarantees: The NDB provides loans, guarantees, and other financial mechanisms to support development projects.
Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA):
This is a common fund established by BRICS central banks to offer financial support to member countries facing balance of payments issues. The initial funding for the CRA was $100 billion.
Guarantee Fund:
A new guarantee fund is being established to enhance the NDB's impact, attract more private capital, and share risks among stakeholders, increasing the flow of investment into emerging economies.
Funding Mechanisms & Goals
Infrastructure & Sustainable Development:
The NDB's mandate is to finance infrastructure and sustainable development projects in emerging and developing countries.
Local Currency Financing:
By issuing bonds in local currencies, the NDB helps to reduce currency risks for borrowers and diversify its funding beyond the U.S. dollar.
Private Sector Access:
The NDB has expanded its focus to fund private sector initiatives, including projects for small and medium-sized enterprises.
South-South Cooperation:
BRICS funding initiatives, particularly the NDB, aim to promote South-South cooperation by increasing the financial sovereignty of Southern countries and fostering alternative development financing.

My guess is that their grip on power is coming to an end.
"Does Western big money and the oligarchs control the Chinese leadership too, and India's, and Russia's, or just the US and the West?" ~ SocratesDetroit
AI Overview
Western big money and local oligarchs exert varying degrees of influence on governments in the US, China, India, and Russia, but through very different mechanisms and with differing levels of direct control. The idea that one group centrally controls all these disparate political systems is not supported by evidence.
United States and the West
In Western countries like the U.S., billionaires and large corporations influence politics through legal and semi-legal means that can amount to a functional oligarchy.
Lobbying and campaign donations: Wealthy individuals and corporations spend vast amounts on lobbying and super PACs to influence policy and elect candidates who align with their interests.
Legal immunity: Existing laws legitimize lobbying and campaign donations, and regulatory capture allows the wealthy to operate with minimal fear of consequences.
Policy outcomes: Studies indicate that the preferences of wealthy Americans and business groups have a far greater impact on political decisions than those of average citizens.
China
The relationship between wealth and power in China is vastly different from that in the West, with the Communist Party (CCP) firmly in control.
State over elites: Unlike Western systems where economic elites exert pressure from outside, China's authoritarian system subordinates business interests to the government.
Political connections for wealth: Business elites often gain advantages by leveraging their political connections, but the CCP ensures they do not exert direct control over leadership. Membership in the CCP provides a pathway to higher wealth accumulation.
Foreign influence: While U.S. corporations have historically lobbied the U.S. government on China's behalf to gain market access, Beijing maintains a cautious approach to foreign influence. Chinese officials view foreign interests as a potential threat and have become increasingly vigilant against foreign ideology.
India
In India, a form of "crony capitalism" links the country's political and business elites, but the influence of Western money is filtered through this system.
Local oligarchs' influence: Domestic industrialists and a small number of billionaires are alleged to have easy access to the government and sway policy decisions, often in exchange for funding.
Political parties: Wealthy candidates are often favored by political parties because they can finance expensive campaigns, resulting in a compromised system where politicians may not represent voter interests.
Foreign influence: Western investment enters the Indian market but operates within a political landscape shaped by domestic elites.
Russia
Russia's political-economic system is a kleptocracy, where wealth is heavily dependent on proximity and loyalty to the state.
State control over oligarchs: Russian oligarchs amassed their wealth during the chaotic privatizations of the 1990s, with encouragement from Western economists. However, since the 2000s, Vladimir Putin has consolidated power by subjugating the oligarchs to the state.
The price of dissent: While Russian oligarchs in the 1990s could influence policy, those who have challenged Putin, like Mikhail Khodorkovsky, have faced imprisonment or exile.
Western financial ties: Despite state control within Russia, many oligarchs have moved their wealth to Western financial centers. These funds are used to expand Russian influence abroad but are also vulnerable to sanctions, as seen following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine
Yes, central banks of BRICS member countries are associated with other central banks through formal global financial institutions, BRICS-specific mechanisms, and various bilateral arrangements. Although BRICS nations aim to provide alternatives to the Western-dominated global financial system, they remain connected to it in multiple ways.
Global financial system
BRICS member central banks participate in the established international financial architecture.
International Monetary Fund (IMF): BRICS nations, including their central banks, participate in the IMF. For example, in 2012 they pledged $75 billion to boost the IMF's lending capacity, though this was conditioned on voting reforms. The BRICS Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA) is also designed to complement existing international financial arrangements.
Bank for International Settlements (BIS): Some BRICS countries are members of BIS, an international organization that serves as a bank for central banks. For example, in 2024, Saudi Arabia joined a BIS-led trial of a central bank digital currency.
BRICS-specific institutions
The BRICS group has established its own financial institutions that facilitate cooperation among member central banks.
New Development Bank (NDB): This multilateral development bank was established by BRICS nations to fund infrastructure and sustainable development projects. Its Articles of Agreement state that the bank "shall cooperate with international organizations and other financial entities".
Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA): This framework is a pool of committed foreign currency reserves that BRICS members can draw upon for support during short-term balance of payments pressures. This mechanism is limited to BRICS countries and operates via bilateral currency swaps between the member central banks.
Efforts to create alternatives
BRICS members are also developing parallel systems to reduce dependence on Western financial infrastructure.
BRICS Cross-Border Payments Initiative: This initiative explores alternatives to the global financial messaging system SWIFT, particularly for intra-BRICS trade using national currencies and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
Bilateral currency swaps: Some BRICS nations use bilateral currency swap agreements with other countries to promote trade in local currencies. For example, China uses these with other nations to expand the use of its currency.
Factors influencing association
Sanctions: Western sanctions on Russia have accelerated efforts by some BRICS nations to find alternative payment and settlement systems to bypass the global financial system.
Expansion: As the BRICS bloc has expanded to include new members, its financial institutions, particularly the NDB, have also grown to include non-original members. For example, Bangladesh, Egypt, the UAE, and Uruguay have joined the NDB
‘The answer would reveal if current events are just the latest iteration of professional wrestling-like global events, or if the US/West will inevitably have a direct confrontation with the rest of the world.’
It’s all beginning to look like a scripted kayfabe, isn’t it?
re: comparing today's antics with the Jacobin overthrow is spot on IMO. I remember studying that back in school. Great comparison Mr. Kunstler. As I've said many times before: the deep state never has any new tactics, it's always the same and never changes. Once citizens figure out what their tactics are, they are done and their scare tactics don't work. We the People are buying their ploys less and less. More and more of us are becoming less afraid of them and now are just bored and want them to be sent to where they should have always been - prison or death.
"The play here for the Party of Chaos is the same old routine straight out of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: instigate action on the enemy in order to provoke a reaction by them that will allow the radicals to yell “tyrant” and “fascist.”"
At this point, so what? We are so far beyond the point of the conventional paradigm of Republican vs. Democrat, left vs. right. We've arrived at the point of lawfare, chaos, insanity and disintegration vs. long-held values of right and wrong, institutional cohesion and simple normalcy. We are not dealing with people who wish to, nay, who are even capable of reasoned dialogue and constructive give and take. Rather, we are faced with a rabble who seeks to upend society on every level in incremental fashion (a "soft" revolution if you will) so that they may assume absolute, uncontestable power. Once achieved, what will come will make the doings of Stalin, Mao and Pot seem like amateur hour.
Now that their efforts are being met with robust push-back (what used to be known as run-of-the-mill law and order), they will escalate their efforts, which in a way is the greatest gift that they can give the normals as the matter will be sorted once and for all.
Heh. That's the spirit! After watching those pansies' battle cries of "don't touch me! don't touch me!", I began to long for Mayor LaGuardia calling out the pipefitters' union.
As long as the transtifas are threatening him and everyone else on the Court, Roberts isn’t going to take any cases that might get him guillotined—though the other four real conservatives might convince him that it’s time. Let’s hope he can read the tea leaves as to where it’s all headed if they don’t put an end to it.
CIA, Big Finance, WEF crowd, several other entities. IMO They do have a master PR guru who is helping them write all the scripts (the official narratives), who must be employed at one of the most powerful ad agencies. All the messages and agendas are coordinated - so someone is playing script writer and telling everyone who matters "this is your part. This is your script."
All according to Demoncrap plans. They are taking the country to ruin with their storm troopers, and with the help of their millions of imported illegal military-aged men joining in the insurrections around the country. Interestingly, other than illegals, there seem to be few blacks involved in their war against the nation. Gold is going crazy this morning, up $52, just as I predicted to family and friends, i.e., when gold goes ballistic, the country will be going to hell. Sadly, I was correct. Unless the Supreme Court straightens out the woke and corrupt part of the federal judiciary, the efforts of the President to stop the insurrections in Demoncrap cities will be thwarted by judges who actually want the riots and mayhem to continue for the purpose of regaining power for Demoncraps and marxists. While waiting for the government to put down the leftist loon riots and destruction, you would be wise to be armed and proficient with your firearms, while praying you do not need them.
A coworker drove me past some farms in eastern Ohio where the mob buried many of their hits. He knew these guys back in the 70's and he knew who was buried where.
Trump, if pushed will declare the Constitution is NOT a suicide pact and act appropriately to protect the nation. He will echo Old Hickory's "Mr. Marshall has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it."
I'll admit that I'm enjoying Trump’s assault on the Troon terrorists, border jumpers, race hustlers, kooky Karens, and bistro bolsheviks, but we should also be keenly aware that he's handing his tech-bro supporters enormous powers to surveil us, censor us, and block us from accessing to information pertaining to his administration's unconscionable support for a relatively small but murderous rogue state with off-the-charts influence to steer our government officials, our foreign and domestic policies into situations (or sponsor them) that put our nation in deep doo-doo.
Pax, what would be happening with a Democratic Socialist majority government in DC instead? We may have a mini-picture soon if Mamdani is elected and destroys New York.
I have heard rumors of the financial district of New York moving to Texas if he is elected. It would serve the peons of NYC right.
DJT actually said the the Commie soon to be elected mayor of NY will actually be a good thing as it will show with definitive evidence the effects of Commie light.
Commie Light? Sometimes Trump ticks me off with his tendency to believe what he is being told. Optimism is not a good thing all the time. Mamdani is an indicator, with NYC, of how we are approaching a socialistic state in this country with most of the change in the cities. Socialism wins, globalization wins, BRICS+ wins. Mamdani needs to be wiped out but the decline in the quality of Joe Average will probably get him elected. I hope Trump has plans to stomp on Mamdani’s parade. Trump is still too concerned about NYC, which has fucked him over so many times. I do not understand that.
There is a new stock market in I believe Miami and one coming to Texas. It won't take much to cause the finance people to leave. All they have to do is move their computers to a big barn size building anywhere over a weekend and reopen. Watch the Blue State commies try to impose exit taxes.
False choice. Both parties suck in their own special ways except regarding their propensity to blow our blood and treasure on mideast and European wars that are of no benefit to The United States.
Pax, think about NYC, Minneapolis and Dearborn, We need to keep the socialists and Muslims at their homes. Open borders for forty years has changed the nature of America, It needs to stop.
And why doesn't Michael Moore, who became famous for his movie on the gutting of his beloved Flint, MI, do a movie on the de-Americanization of Dearborn? Because he's a big, fat lefty hypocrite.
When I sometimes watch the opening Minneapolis credits of the old The Mary Tyler Moore Show, I feel sad that this once beautiful city looks like an old National Geographic documentary on some third-world sh*thole.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but that doesn't mean I'll overlook Trump's determination to kill our kids and bankrupt us in a war with Iran just because he's Bibi's b*tch.
Right, "surgical," because that's all it takes to take out a civilized country with advanced weaponry that's twice the size of Afghanistan and poses ABSOLUTELY NO THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES. OK, Bibi.
I'm not sure what these mentally ill mobs think they will have if they destroy everything. Is the world they want really just a bunch of insane people, all poor as hell (along with everyone else) having sex on the street, doing drugs on the street, looting anytime they want and dying young? Is that really the world they want? I am baffled by all of this. "Movements" like this *never* provide more liberty for people in the end, they just open the door for ever-increasing tyranny and a permanent police state. It seems a good 1/4 of the country has been given over to a reprobate mind and cannot see the hellscape they will create if allowed to continue. I am not a fan of the military on the streets because I've visited countries where that was a reality. It is no way to live. But that is what is going to happen, along with a "digital ID" that everyone will be clamoring for to insure their "safety". We won't have less control over us if these idiot mobs have their way... we will be controlled completely. From cradle to grave there won't be one thing we can do without permission from the "crown" (or AI). We are so close to losing almost every bit of liberty we have left... it is breathtaking and depressing as hell.
They aren't about liberty. What they are doing is to destroy liberty, bring society to the point that people beg for safety and security and then they bring down the socialist hammer. Their objective is power.
Not a fan of stereotyping, pigeon holing, etc., but this liberal bent for what euphemistically appears to be equality for all is ironically the demise of the very society they covet. I am a fan of equality in the form of equal opportunity and equal rights. Forcing special rights through mandates and legislation for the perceived disadvantaged is the antithesis of equality. Regardless of our best efforts, complete equality is not attainable. The physical and mental constraints of genetic uniqueness are why some make remarkable achievements and others do not. It is the nature of nature that we all not be identical. Yet we have politicians and political organizations that strive or pretend to strive for a robotic society where there is no uniqueness.
Without apology or remorse is exactly how Democrats operate. And they gaslight brazenly, engage in blatant projection, flip the script on what they have done and accuse others of what they are guilty of.
Oh, they want them to feel hostile, they just don't want them to do anything about it. So, here we are. They have nothing to worry about. It's a shame, but true. The country is lost.
They are like a woman who responds with punishment or by withholding reinforcement (negative punishment) if you are loving or affectionate. Soon you don't love them any more. Then they overreact to your righteous anger even if it's well modulated. So they actually 'shape' the hostility, which is kind of sad because hostility is not good.
Women of the early 20th century and before had a definite role in society, to care for the next generation but also to maintain households, to network with other women to maintain neighborhoods, to be the primary consumer base for society. Every part of this multiple role has been substantially removed. Where it took six days a week to care for the household it now takes a day or two. Shopping is no longer a time item as Malls and now Amazon makes shopping effortless. Neighborhoods no longer are close. Kids are gone after age 6 for most of the day.
So where being a wife and Mom used to be a full time job, it is no longer. So instead of watching Soaps all day, women want “job” satisfaction in the world, no surprise.
They certainly do, for the most part. There are some who have only partial or no insight. They're like narcissists. How many do you know who know what they are? Not many and they can't be educated.
Sadly, it is time for President Trump do what may be very politically unpopular among some of the more timid of his voter base, though it will be supported by most of it. This action will undoubtedly make the Democrat Socialist "insanity army" go batshit crazy, but they will go crazy, even if Trump does nothing. What is that action? Make a public announcement that he is authorizing federal law enforcement AND any deployed National Guard or Federal troops to use any means, up to and including deadly force, to stop any individual or group physically assaulting federal law enforcement, National Guard members, or Federal troops protecting federal property or innocent American citizens. In other words, the federal officers or troops can use real bullets, real bayonets, or whatever other weapon deemed appropriate to defend themselves. Most of the leftist rioters (they are not "protesters") are at least semi-armed with everything from Molotov cocktails, bricks, and rocks to knives and guns--to attack federal law enforcement or troops. As for the Democrat swine politicians allowing this violent leftist nonsense to go unchecked in their jurisdictions, they have already blatantly violated numerous federal laws, and Trump's DOJ should go into overdrive filing federal charges against them.
As for all of the NGOs funding this leftist nonsense, President Trump should declare every single one of them as organized domestic terror groups (the NGOs know exactly what kind of violence that they are funding) , criminally prosecute their leaders and employees, and seize all of their assets.
May be time for citizens to unite against the antics of this mob behavior. There’s no reason the citizenry can’t arm up and go fight with the Feds against the commies.
And an executive order or federal law, extending Florida's law about surrounding a vehicle, to every jurisdiction. Protesters surround a vehicle. You get run over and the vehicle owner gets to sue all for any damage to his vehicle.
The colonies revolted over a boost in taxes on barrels of tea.
In America in 2020-2025, we got vials of toxins that killed and injured millions of citizens (many of whom had to take the shots or lose their jobs and incomes) ... and lockdowns where our kids couldn't go to school and we couldn't visit our grandmother in a hospital or nursing home ... and most citizens cheered the "crown"/government for protecting them.
Hello again, Bill! I'm sad to say that I agree with you on us not having "the right stuff any more." Shopping at Whole Foods yesterday, I observed one of our favorite energetic so called "team members" racing around filling bags with groceries for "call-in/pick-up" customers, which, I believe, began with the covid hoax. Being curious, I asked her who was still calling in for groceries. One of the types that she listed was, "people afraid of the covid!" I was floored and responded with, "You're kidding!" With her positive personality, she is prone to laughing and joking. With an incredulous look, she responded, "I know; can you believe it?!"
I take it you are covidiot that wears a mask even to this day while walking down the street with nobody anywhere near you or alone driving in your car.
That tracks and they say the uglier you are the more prone to wearing a mask.
Not totally. The business class of America chafed at the colonialist control of American business that England practiced. The Tea Party was aimed at the strangle hold the new corporations in England had over the up surging American economies.
Your concern for the common sense loss of the American people is right on.
To quote the late Mayor Richard Daley in the summer of love in 1968 “The policeman isn’t there to create disorder, the police are there to preserve disorder.” It’s been a long strange trip we’re on…at some point it is will necessary to have a resolution to this house that stands divided, it either resolves itself peacefully or not. This said maybe 20% of the population are resisting and most of them are reliving the summer of love and the riots in Chicago during the DNC convention in August of 1968. Which means they are dying off. It can’t happen fast enough.
Not yet as bad as '68 or the Watts riots of 1965. In Watts the Army fired belt fed machine-guns and fired cannons at buildings. In Chicago in those days Daley would issue "shoot to kill" orders and generally things calmed down pretty quickly. I recall cops with Tommy guns shooting looters. No one in their right or even not right mind would ever have tried a big smash and grab in "Da Mare's" Chicago of the 60's.
Who will be the first Democrat governor, mayor, police chief arrested and charged for insurrection and obstruction of federal law enforcement?
I submit Tina Kotek, Oregon's Gov. It would be easy as she got into office through a scheme with a Cannabis company. Lots of cash. Probably could tie it to cartels.
Amen
I would enjoy that.
That person hasn't been born yet.
Arrested and charged? Hardy, har, har, good luck. Wake me up when they start hanging the traitors.
Yeah. I can hardly stand to hear this anymore.
More likely to let them out early, if by the slightest chance...
Another well thought out comment! Thanks Ron
He's Rontarded.
Took back my *Like*.
Oh no!! I’m devastated! What will I ever do now that you’ve retracted your like?
Slow day at the bar?
extract thy head?
If they don't, then we can ignore the government and do it ourselves. This ends violently. Count on it. Prepare.
Please God, I want Mayor Keller of Albuquerque arrested, along with NM governor Wuhan Lujan.
Everyone who told us all along we should "Think and act local" was ... right.
There's too many "leaders" to purge in board rooms, news rooms and in Washington D.C.
It was "Think Global, Act Local."
I always thought, "Do the opposite of what we are supposed to do or have been told to do." Everything that is said to be true is a lie. The people who are cast as "disinformation super-spreaders" are the most important people we should listen to.
I agree.
"Everyone who told us all along we should "Think and act local" was ... right."
>That's what Daniel Penny did.
In a military dictatorship that could happen. Not in a democratic republic.
You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Federal Law Enforcement has no right to operate in the states unless they are requested by the Governor. If the President declares a VALID emergency he can supercede this. But there are no VALID emergencies now in the states. So deploying the troops now is illegal. Posse Comitatus.
So Antifa is good to go to burn down buildings and obstruct the Government in executing the Laws of the Nation?The very same people Who elected the said Government ask for law/order?What happened to CKirk and in Chicago over the W/E along with Portland in my mind is putting the Nation on the Cusp of insurrection...be ready...it's coming.
What's needed are sniper teams to take them out selectively. You just need to do a couple.
I don't know if the video is still on the internet, but a couple of years ago a mob of protesters, after rampaging in Spokane, announced their intention to move on to Coure d'Alene, Idaho. When they rolled into town in their white vans they were greeted by a few hundred residents that were armed to the teeth. One protester got out of his van with a big hammer in his hand and made some menacing gestures. A defender with a rifle slung across his chest, a pistol on his hip, and a shotgun in his hands calmly walked up to the protester and took the hammer from him. He got back in his van and the procession of vans left town. No matches were struck and no windows smashed. I don't know whether there were any further assaults on Coure d'Alene, but I doubt it.
I love you.
Kathy, we're called scouts. God bless.
Yes, Kevin, it's coming, that's their plan.
"Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face." ~ "Iron Mike" Tyson.
That's coming too.
That's not true. They can protect Federal interests. FBI is in all the states, Federal buildings are in all the states, ICE facilities are federal, etc.
Yep!
Posse Comitatus is suspended under declaration of the Insurrection Act, which is clearly where this is heading. Insurrection Act may already be implicitly in force: seditious conspiracy and treason are clearly afoot.
But the 'Insurrection Act' is not declared. So they are illegaly present in various states that do not want them.
Trump just announced that the Insurrection Act is a possibility. Soft disclosure. Walk softly and carry a big stick.
Okay, no valid emergencies. What exactly would you call a valid emergency.
The Left is murdering people, tearing down cities, thumbing their nose at the Law, misinforming the American public, over and over. You might feel different if you had kids that were constantly under the influence of the drug and crime lords, also of the Left.
I do not understand why the “Bosses” are not prosecuted, the billionaires driving the Leftist ship. George Soros and the Rockefeller’s would be a great start.
Posse Comitatus is a joke. It was conceived post Civil War to stop the Northern military from continuing to invade the South. It has nothing to do with today other than trying to excuse the travesty the Left now displays. The officers of this country, including the military take an oath to protect the Constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic. It is the truth that America faces more serious enemies domestically than foreign. For the preservation of the Constitution, the military should be fighting the crime families and the Antifa movements, screw the idiotic Posse Comitatus. If it takes temporary federal control to stop the invasion of the USA by foreign crime, so be it. The alternative is chaos. Just look around at history, lots of regimes descending into chaos to their destruction. Look at JHK’s picture today, it is the Left trying to destroy America using globalism and the resultant importation of crime to do the job.
You know what valid emergency is so why do you ask ? A valid emergency is one that is declared as such by GOVERNMENT ! It's not okay for Trump to act as if he's 'the decider'. What's your legal proof that Antifa and Crime families are as dangerous as you claim ? PROOF please. You don't decide if Posse Comitatus is a joke. Tune in. It's the law of the land. 'The Left is murdering people (yeah Who ?), tearing down cities (yeah which ?), thumbing their nose at the Law, misinforming the American public, over and over.' Sorry friend it's the lying Republicans who constantly misinform and mislead the American Public. Just like this government shutdown. All the Dems want is an extension of the ACA tax credits and a reversal of the severe Medicaid cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill. But the Republicans mislead. They claim that the Dems want to give free Health Care to illegal aliens. What a crock of shit. But that's what the Repubs do all the lime... MISLEAD the public...
Charlie Kirk, for starters, Minneapolis, Portland, and Seattle.
I will ask you, what would you do to solve the border crime and drug problem, ignore it like the Dems want to do? You are obviously on the other side, so be it.
Sorry,the government cannot afford any more medical giveaways as Obamacare and Medicaid have turned out to be. Both are bankrupt in a few years, what would you do about it then when there is no medical assistance programs left because of over expenditures. There were no cuts anyway, just removal of people that do not warrant Medicaid. I do not want to discuss the biggest lie this side of the Vaxx, Obamacare.
The proof of the pudding of the Gimme attitude of America, and obviously you, is the $37 trillion debt that has been accumulated. What exactly is your solution for the debt? To have even More spending?
Democrats for sure with absolutely no concept of money, taxes, budgeting, austerity. Just print and spend more, your answer for everything.
Goodbye Richie. Some of us are here to learn. Stop with your BS.
Don't be ridiculous. POTUS is the ultimate "decider" as mandated and authorized by the U.S. Constitution.
Leading Dems have already admitted that they want to give free health insurance to illegals. They've lied about this before and they're lying about it now, just as you are.
Who TF do you think you are?? You do not get to demand anything.
Libtardia is a great retirement villiage. Oink
One of these days, principled conservatives might realize they needn't live by rules made by their enemies.
The Left is all about State's rights now that their enemies have the Federal Government. If they didn't have double standards, they wouldn't have any standards at all.
I guess the intentional destruction of the country isn’t enough for you. Why are you here? Go away.
By Posse Comitatus, Federal Troops cannot enforce Civil Law, they are enforcing Criminal Law.
You need to inform one of our friends in Canada of that fact.
Federal Troops cannot enforce any law if they are not invited into a state by its Governor. The president cannot dictate where troops go unless extreme circumstances justify this. Currently, there's no reason for the president to send the National Guard into these states.
Ha, that again makes me laugh. Will it take tearing down your town to make you wise up to what is going on? This is purely another political game, with the idiotic Dems ignoring the crime and drug situations in their cities to offset Trump. Have you even listened to the man on the street interviews where the people of the cities are begging for the national Guard to restore order. Have you even listened to the Democrat mayor of DC thanking Trump for stopping the crime wave in DC?
I have not heard one single idea of yours to “fix” the crime problem. Ignoring it is not a solution, Democrat.
an inaccurate assessment. Plenty of reason
For generations, we had no Department of Defense, only offense. At last we have a military willing to protect us - but they're going to ask permission from the evil system? The Nazgul (the Nine Black Riders) who ruled Trump had no "standing"?
False. The FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies (EPA, BATF, CBP, ICE, etc.) investigates all interstate crime, superseding states' rights enumerated in the 10th Amendment.
POTUS disagrees with your opinion regarding emergencies.
Did you misspeak federal law enforcement has the right to enforce laws in all Us states and territories using the military as law enforcement is no go without a declared emergency. Except where in they are protecting federal property. They can be deployed to all federal properties by executive order.
Fine... let them protect Federal Properties and Federal Properties only. Unless the Governor requests them. But THAT'S not what they're doing. Executive overreach...
You are in error.
Not if an insurrection is declared. Look up The Whiskey Rebellion, genius. Do some research before you make stupid comments that show your ignorance.
You always say your stupid shit just to piss people off and disrespect someone else's house, don't you, like a dog taking a dump on the carpet.
Once again, Albozo the Clown is back in one of my comment threads, lecturing me like a Karen. 🤡
Hey GENIUS... they are in the states WITHOUT a declared insurrection !!!! None of the states want them. But they're imposed upon the states anyway. That's criminal. Not surprising though. Since the executive orders were issued by a felon.
A “felon” from a kangaroo NY State “conviction.” Go smoke more dope, assclown. 🤡
why not propose a prediction?? You forgot to include Former President
Which former president? I’m trying to be realistic here.
Trump will be imprisoned before that happens.
Doubtful he has been two steps ahead of everyone on the other side and it took them lying, changing laws temporarily and falsely up charging the President.
Millions of prosecutions and none of them have been turned from infractions to felonies except for Trump.
This flies against the basic tenant of equal protection/prosecution under the law.
The court system broke its own laws
Kotek Kotek
Jupplandia suggests the possibility of a larger net. Kinda fun.
Yeah, wouldn'"t that be nice!
I won't hold my breath on the Scotus sorting anything out.
They have shown a propensity to not want to deal with the violent types and their behaviors.
Could it be they are afraid of having the soyboy brigade show up outside their homes ranting and raving?
Roberts just wants everything concerning his Court to be about what a great CJ he's been, how fair and principled he is, yadda yadda. Thus the screaming match he had with Justices Thomas and Alito in mid-December 2020, when there were appeals regarding election fraud. Roberts reportedly screamed that they couldn't even look at the information without having all of the Court's personnel massacred and Washington SC burned to the ground by Antifa and BLM. That's who we're counting on for justice and the salvation of the country?
Boy, I agree with that. The entire conservative side of the Deep State is scared to death of the Ult- Left and what they are capable of. This has no other prognosis than the death of the Republic or the earth of the Ult-Left. There is no compromise available. The shutdown going on right now may be the start as more and more Americans will be hurt by their Gimme dependence on this government.
Now even Federal Employees are gimmies. This guy ^ is nuts.
Some actually are they do nothing for their pay.
I’ve met many federal employees. There is a fair percentage of gimmes. But I think John might be talking about a whole other class of professional grifters.
Federal employees are workfare.
I’m a private consultant working for local government. I could easily expand my business if I could find good employees. I’ve learned never to hire anyone whose entire experience is from .gov, no matter how senior or which level of government. I have yet to encounter any of them with critical thinking skills or a work ethic. They consistently overcharge, under-deliver and leave me redoing the work for free. They’re also impossibly slow because they have never sung for their supper. It’s horribly rude to customers - you know, the taxpayers.
I dunno, man. Someone already attempted to assassinate Kavanaugh and 2 other Justices. Only the presence of Deputy U.S. Marshals stopped him. I don't think SCOTUS will forget that.
(Yes, I know he immediately surrendered to said Deputies. But if they weren't there one must assume he would have carried out his plan.)
If, per my maxim, "every important truth-seeking organization is fully captured," that would include the U.S. Supreme Court. Plus, (hate to say it, but what the heck?) the White House, Congress, State Houses, governors, corporate CEO, Big Finance, Big Media, Big Tech, Big Education, Big Medicine, Big Science, Big Pharma, etc.
IMO Substack's influence as an important check on power has now been "de-amplified" and this project will no doubt continue.
"We the People" better wake up and, as they say in the military, "get hot."
Yep
20 plus rulings, none in favor of rogue Judges. What are you suggesting?
A ruling against a rogue judge is one thing but legislating anything to do with Antifa, transtifa, blm or any other group that is currently engaging in violence they simply won't deal with.

And in case you have not heard some of these clowns are now shooting and killing people over political differences.
they do not need to
Tifas have been declared Terrorists, which unleashes the Feds and very likely the military.
Doubtful on the military except in order to protect federal properties.
Antifa is very close to getting its teeth kicked in.
Soros under "investigation" same for others.
Hence the panic and false flags...
George and his demon spawn Alex should be divested of their fortune and then ask Russia if they would like to put George on trial.
Alex should be ejected or put on trial for treason.
Many vids of Tifa's being annihilated already exist.
The same will surface very soon in Chicago and Memphis.
Tifa now on the run their funding has been choked.
I live in Newsom land. Ever since I saw that ridiculous photo spread of him and Kimberly Guilfoyle trying desperately to look like Jack and Jackie I've known he'll do anything to get to the White House, he'll turn CA into a gulag where we can't call his bluff (hate speech!) and our vote doesn't matter, so he can prove to his party he should win the nomination. Having watched him I don't think he's enough interested in anything but his own face - he doesn't care what he turns America into, he just wants his own museum, dollar bill, Rushmore … And speaking of rigging, no one will convince me that Kamala's book is #1 on bestseller lists because people are actually buying it rather than some donor buying the thousands of copies to get that slot for her — then dumping them. And now I kinda like Kimberly because she's just waiting to give what she has on Newsom.
Is Adam Carolla now the Voice of Reason in your state? I really don't see another person speaking up against the tyrannical and maniacal rule of The Mighty and Powerful Newsom. Beside you, of course.
The Wall Street Journal just published a good story on the death of Hollywood and the movie/TV business. I knew this was going to happen, but it's happening even faster than I thought. Hollywood is dying faster than MSM newspapers, magazines and websites.
Yes, Kevin Kiley and Newsom is trying to redistrict him so he'll be voted against by Marin County. Meanwhile, I'm sure Newsom is going to go after Adam for hate speech. I would just like to know how much of our tax money goes for cocaine.
Newsom's eyes are usually red. He has high blood pressure or he's just "high" all the time.
Oh yeah! I do believe that the Hollywood fascination with the Left stems from a desire for cheap and available drugs. The crime networking in California must be horrendous.
Well, Chevron tried to make a point by moving to Texas, and they blew up their refinery. Idiots, now Chevron will never return.
40% of California's gasoline just disappeared with that.
$10.00 gallon gasoline, again?
Hmmm, maybe just what the Sacramento climate change nuts want?
I was heading out to Newsome Land next week to visit some national parks in that state. Thanks to Chuck Shumer and the fucking Democrats for screwing up my vacation plans. Sons of bitches. God I hate politicians. There has never been a more worthless human being than a politician. Period. Lawyers are close but politicians are more worthless.
It's time for a new Congress. A congress that is selected through a bi-annual draft of net tax paying native born US citizens. Drafted for one Congressional 2 year term of service. They attend 1 three month legislative session, are paid a stipend for their time, pass a budget, consider new legislation if necessary, and then go home, back to their jobs.
Congress should NOT be a full time career position for leaches and grifters who do nothing but cause serious issues and inflict harm on the people of this nation.
Again, Americans should be pissing razorblades in anger at the colossal failure that is the US congress. The States could unite and make the changes under Article 5 of the US Constitution but the state politicians can't pull their heads out of their own asses long enough to unite and do anything either.
Partisan politics have destroyed the USA and turned this nation into a global laughing stock. If only Shumer and the all the other 535 assholes that populate the US Congress actually knew and understood how much the people hate and despise them they wouldn't be walking around with that smug "I'm important so worship me" look on their pudgy faces.
I dare anyone on this comment thread to tell me what the US Congress has done lately that has benefitted them personally. Anyone???? Seriously. I can't think of anything.
"Lawyers are close but politicians are more worthless."
Many politicians are lawyers,
So right you are, my friend. I would say any lawyer who becomes a politician is a failed lawyer. Thank you for pointing that out! Love it.
both are failures by defintion, which is worse is like making the case for less stinky _hit
Thank you! much appreciated.
Washington, besides warning us against "foreign entanglements" also despised "the Party man." While I continuously rail against the 17th amendment, I am also reminded that originally, the guy who came in 2nd became Vice President. Of course that was when we still had this idea of a Republic only being possible with a moral populace.
Washington's farewell address was prophetic. It should be mandatory reading in all schools today. Ha. The half-whit teachers would never understand the language a self-educated man like Washington used in his address. He speaks a form of the English language that has largely gone extinct.
I believe the government is a bright reflection of the people who created it or permit its existence. A truly righteous people would have no tolerance for wicked government and would work hard to eliminated it. We aren't a righteous people anymore. So the government grows and persists.
Well said!
Ok, Cankerpuss, I'll take up your challenge.
Congress (the Republicans only) recently passed the Big Beautiful Bill which kept federal income tax rates where they're at currently. If they hadn't acted, beginning Jan. 1st, 2026, EVERYONE'S taxes would have gone up approximately 3 percentage points, or $3,000 on every $100,000 of taxable income. Everyone means the 60% who actually pay any tax at all.
Okay. That's one! Anyone else?
The BBB also continues to grow the Federal debt and deficit by trillions. It may have some good stuff in it but by and large still isn't good for the American people.
that matters not. The Fed Gubmint is not shuttered. To include 70% of the IRS that is circling the bowl. Be not surprised at the final flush...
Bad timing. Choose another state and this time choose wisely.
With half of the country clinically insane and most of the elected officials bought and paid for by foreign countries I shudder to think of what insanity an Article 5 convention would come up with. Anyway, we need a full time Congress to deal with the damage caused by the previous full time Congresses.
I grew up in L.A., so very glad I left some years ago. Newsom is 150% pure evil. I read that he has a dungeon under his home where he tortures/rapes children. I don't doubt it. He was recalled by 93% of the voters 2 yrs ago but ignored it and stayed in office. That info comes from 2 different people who counted the votes for the recall.
You may be interested in this short video, which is a news clip - when I saw this, I was livid. This is what they are doing to those poor folks whose homes were 100% destroyed in Pacific Palisades, several months after their insurance companies cancelled the homeowner's home insurance. Their homes burnt, now they have NOTHING:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jC6OH7U_nOo&list=PLOvlNdozlwNrvX7lmbgUYs2evbshyaiud&index=43
Have you ever put a photo of Ted Bundy next to one of Newsom? That says everything.
We just saw a documentary on Ted last night
And I believe we predicted that, too. I really feel for those people, but did they vote democrat? Probably did.
Maybe; but elections have been stolen for decades - especially in California. I lived there and saw fraud myself when I went to vote and that was 4 yrs ago.
Never not once!
As bad as Republicans are they at least have a few issues or values I agree with.
Democrats not so much they just keep getting crazier.
were the fires [malibu-pp-Lahaina] arson?
Yes they were. I've seen photos/videos of D.E.W.s, lots of them.
OH please on the direct energy weapon bullshit.
Matches, incendiary devices even a book of matches with a lit cigarette but high energy weapons used to start fires no way.
I have seen nutty private citizens with a laser chopping tree branches.
They have caught plenty of firebugs on camera starting fires.
Tesla invented DEWs a century ago, they are real. And yes there are firebugs but in L.A., where I grew up many years ago, there is more than enough evidence of DEWs and also of people starting fires and probably paid by politicians. This was a coordinated effort, I've spent tons of time researching this and I know L.A. - this was just a few fire bugs, this was coordinated by govt. I know what I'm talking about.
You misunderstand me I am well aware they exist but to use one to start fires is asinine and every crazy person always says the following..."this was coordinated by govt. I know what I'm talking about."
Was that city, county, state or federal?
Thats a lot of people in in the caper man. /rolls eyes
Just saying it was the gubbermint man I was there I know what I am talking about makes you at the least seem suspect and fringe.
The best plans are simple and direct.
A couple of creeps playing with matches and the crazy winds do all the hard lifting.
You don't "know" anything you "think you know" but you don't and we may never know the full story.
I am seeing dozens of fires a month all over San Diego county.
They are mostly homeless people or lightening strikes.
Santa Ana winds are game changers even a tossed cigarette can be devastating.
there is absolutely no question...
If he isn't raping and torturing children he is probably sodomizing his women and men down there. Wretched human being.
That's what they did with Hillary's book, too.
With every Democrat's book.
Good take, it’s getting spicey out there. We’re dealing with Tina no nothing Kotex here in spoiled OR
What the hell is wrong with you people in Oregon anyway?
It's the water. It's full of birth control pills and other estogenizing agents. It makes everyone communist.
There is some merit to that comment, Lugh.
It’s the libs here. We are at least 50% Red but leadership is Dems. We have not had a Republican Gov since we started mail in ballots. Go figure.
Ideaology the simple answer, like other Bluetard states.
political autobiographies sell about 10 copies to real people. the rest is money laundering
Newscum is well hated having exactly zero chance. What is interesting in that people living in the _hithole that Cali has become, tolerate this.
Newsome’s ’Code Red’ video, and the antics of other dems regarding ICE, reminds me of the Nullification Crisis in the run up to the First Civil War
What is Kimberly waiting for?
Trump is up against the globalist NGO's funded by you, starting with the International Republican Institute(IRI); McCain used to run it and he was besties with George Soros.
It is quite a task Mr. Trump has stepped into.
President Trump was right about McCain, he was no hero.
Yep. I often wonder if he purposely defied flight protocols leading to being shot down...
In his book he admittedly called him self a 'f*ckup'. I was new to the Army when the 'Keating FIve' thing happened and I never looked the same at him again. Disgusting.
He tried to compromise with the evil that the Left represents. We owe our rotten state of affairs to him and all the other RINOs that destroyed the integrity of the US Congress.
Despite the assertions of Keyboard Warriors, DJT was right about...
EVERYTHING, to include the long list of traitors.
McCain was also playing footsies with Jihadis.
and he consistently wins "bigly"
Not sure Trump is Bibi's bitch; Trump is navigating what he was left with and moving away from him and his never-ending war. His 'negotiating' through Qatar is a sign.
The whole region is a globalist shitshow by design; the same NGO's 'make money' via the worlds taxpayers to perpetuate war for gains to the wealthy whether it is oil companies or whatever.
The Middle East is convoluted by the Quran whose zealous followers will do anything to kill Jews (and the rest of us) to promote Islam around the world. Jesus taught to convert people’s heart through love and compassion, Mohammed taught and wrote to convert people’s heart through war and taxation. As long as Shia, ie zealous Islam exists, there will be war.
But that's not the way Christianity is typically spread. As the Jesuits said, the pagans will not hear the gospel until they have heard the cannon. Cannon then canon.
You are right, Gaul was converted by force. Jesus however did not preach conversion by force, people came up with that. Islam is based on conversion by war.
Indeed as usual socratedsetroit by way of Iran is off in left field yelling at empty bleachers.
Always the same message of convoluted fact less narrative.
Many such tells in this high states poker...
Just last week Trump called Netanyahu to the White House, absent the color guard, to tell him how things are going to proceed. Now we have the 20-point Gaza revitalization plan where all sides compromise in order to achieve a lasting peace.
Yep Trump told Bibi how it was going to go not the other way around as many of our crazy jew hating idiots would have us believe.
accurate assessment
The "tell" to me is cozying up to Big Pharma and Pfizer's CEO - at multiple events. If that guy can't be cast as a demon incarnate nobody can be cast in that role.
IMO: Until somebody takes down Big Pharma, nothing positive is going to happen via the political or "democratic" process.
Bill Rice! You are so right! Perhaps you are aware of Ivan Illich, the author of "Medical Nemesis." In his chapter titled, "The Invention and Elimination of Disease," he states: "Sickness is a symptom of political corruption and will be eliminated when the government is cleaned up."
Wow! Does that say it all?
Then: "If a society continues to need hospitals, this is a sign that its revolution has failed."
You are very astute in your comment as I feel that so few see through this blatant corruption. I have to force myself to stop with this comment as I could go on forever quoting from Illich's remarkable book. I hope that it is still available, because it sounds that you would probably read it in one sitting, and then return to it as his knowledge of history on this subject is very impressive.
I saw something different. I saw Trump basically cranking Bourla's arm in a hammerlock behind his back. "Go with my idea for lowered prices and maybe we can go easy on the BS you pulled during Covid." Just my guess based on experience.
something similar... Pay attention. Removing Thimerosal from the vaxs and quaxs, while putting the adjuvant Al in the crosshairs makes current manufacturing impossible. If you do not understand that disclosure educate thyself. DJT absolutely destroyed the Vax Quax biotech companies by defunding and exposing. Stupid American believed that health comes from needles. Thank the Medical Cartel and over 99% of MD's.
Confidence has never been lower...
I guess the “ get me Paxlovid” moment was to lighten the hammerlock.
Economic losses render the "gun" incapable of shooting.
That is not a guess.
"Does Western big money and the oligarchs control the Chinese leadership too?"
SocDet,
Hard to say...the Chinese are difficult to understand...hard to read.
They are...what's the term? On the tip of my tongue...give me a second here....
Inscrutable?
Ahh So!
Like dogs are food motivated the Chinese are money motivated they will sell anything used sewage grease, body parts and their daughters into sexual slavery.
I'd say the answer is yes - Russia is doing a pilot program on digital ID, tied into everything of course, the same as the UK just launched, the same as we will have "to stem illegal immigration", and as exists in China now. Apparently, in some buildings in China, you have to be accepted by facial recognition or the door won't open.
Interesting question, SD. What is the role of BRICS+, where does its financial support come from? Are the Yuan, Ruble and Rupee independent of the IMF and all it controls? Great minds want to know.
Its the long game, to include who can see furtherst down the tracks...
"Does Western big money and the oligarchs control the Chinese leadership too, and India's, and Russia's, or just the US and the West?" ~ SocratesDetroit
AI Overview
BRICS fund their projects primarily through the New Development Bank (NDB), which raises capital from member countries and international markets, and by issuing bonds in local currencies to fund infrastructure and sustainable development projects in emerging economies. The NDB also offers loans and guarantees, and a guarantee fund is being established to attract more private capital and share investment risks. Additionally, the BRICS group has the Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA), a common fund among member central banks to provide support during currency crises.
Sources of Funding
New Development Bank (NDB):
Member Contributions: The NDB receives capital from its expanding membership, which includes original BRICS countries and newer members like Bangladesh, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates.
International Markets: The bank also raises funds by issuing bonds in international markets and in local currencies to diversify its funding sources and reduce reliance on the U.S. dollar.
Guarantees: The NDB provides loans, guarantees, and other financial mechanisms to support development projects.
Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA):
This is a common fund established by BRICS central banks to offer financial support to member countries facing balance of payments issues. The initial funding for the CRA was $100 billion.
Guarantee Fund:
A new guarantee fund is being established to enhance the NDB's impact, attract more private capital, and share risks among stakeholders, increasing the flow of investment into emerging economies.
Funding Mechanisms & Goals
Infrastructure & Sustainable Development:
The NDB's mandate is to finance infrastructure and sustainable development projects in emerging and developing countries.
Local Currency Financing:
By issuing bonds in local currencies, the NDB helps to reduce currency risks for borrowers and diversify its funding beyond the U.S. dollar.
Private Sector Access:
The NDB has expanded its focus to fund private sector initiatives, including projects for small and medium-sized enterprises.
South-South Cooperation:
BRICS funding initiatives, particularly the NDB, aim to promote South-South cooperation by increasing the financial sovereignty of Southern countries and fostering alternative development financing.

My guess is that their grip on power is coming to an end.
"Does Western big money and the oligarchs control the Chinese leadership too, and India's, and Russia's, or just the US and the West?" ~ SocratesDetroit
AI Overview
Western big money and local oligarchs exert varying degrees of influence on governments in the US, China, India, and Russia, but through very different mechanisms and with differing levels of direct control. The idea that one group centrally controls all these disparate political systems is not supported by evidence.
United States and the West
In Western countries like the U.S., billionaires and large corporations influence politics through legal and semi-legal means that can amount to a functional oligarchy.
Lobbying and campaign donations: Wealthy individuals and corporations spend vast amounts on lobbying and super PACs to influence policy and elect candidates who align with their interests.
Legal immunity: Existing laws legitimize lobbying and campaign donations, and regulatory capture allows the wealthy to operate with minimal fear of consequences.
Policy outcomes: Studies indicate that the preferences of wealthy Americans and business groups have a far greater impact on political decisions than those of average citizens.
China
The relationship between wealth and power in China is vastly different from that in the West, with the Communist Party (CCP) firmly in control.
State over elites: Unlike Western systems where economic elites exert pressure from outside, China's authoritarian system subordinates business interests to the government.
Political connections for wealth: Business elites often gain advantages by leveraging their political connections, but the CCP ensures they do not exert direct control over leadership. Membership in the CCP provides a pathway to higher wealth accumulation.
Foreign influence: While U.S. corporations have historically lobbied the U.S. government on China's behalf to gain market access, Beijing maintains a cautious approach to foreign influence. Chinese officials view foreign interests as a potential threat and have become increasingly vigilant against foreign ideology.
India
In India, a form of "crony capitalism" links the country's political and business elites, but the influence of Western money is filtered through this system.
Local oligarchs' influence: Domestic industrialists and a small number of billionaires are alleged to have easy access to the government and sway policy decisions, often in exchange for funding.
Political parties: Wealthy candidates are often favored by political parties because they can finance expensive campaigns, resulting in a compromised system where politicians may not represent voter interests.
Foreign influence: Western investment enters the Indian market but operates within a political landscape shaped by domestic elites.
Russia
Russia's political-economic system is a kleptocracy, where wealth is heavily dependent on proximity and loyalty to the state.
State control over oligarchs: Russian oligarchs amassed their wealth during the chaotic privatizations of the 1990s, with encouragement from Western economists. However, since the 2000s, Vladimir Putin has consolidated power by subjugating the oligarchs to the state.
The price of dissent: While Russian oligarchs in the 1990s could influence policy, those who have challenged Putin, like Mikhail Khodorkovsky, have faced imprisonment or exile.
Western financial ties: Despite state control within Russia, many oligarchs have moved their wealth to Western financial centers. These funds are used to expand Russian influence abroad but are also vulnerable to sanctions, as seen following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine
AI Overview
Yes, central banks of BRICS member countries are associated with other central banks through formal global financial institutions, BRICS-specific mechanisms, and various bilateral arrangements. Although BRICS nations aim to provide alternatives to the Western-dominated global financial system, they remain connected to it in multiple ways.
Global financial system
BRICS member central banks participate in the established international financial architecture.
International Monetary Fund (IMF): BRICS nations, including their central banks, participate in the IMF. For example, in 2012 they pledged $75 billion to boost the IMF's lending capacity, though this was conditioned on voting reforms. The BRICS Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA) is also designed to complement existing international financial arrangements.
Bank for International Settlements (BIS): Some BRICS countries are members of BIS, an international organization that serves as a bank for central banks. For example, in 2024, Saudi Arabia joined a BIS-led trial of a central bank digital currency.
BRICS-specific institutions
The BRICS group has established its own financial institutions that facilitate cooperation among member central banks.
New Development Bank (NDB): This multilateral development bank was established by BRICS nations to fund infrastructure and sustainable development projects. Its Articles of Agreement state that the bank "shall cooperate with international organizations and other financial entities".
Contingent Reserve Arrangement (CRA): This framework is a pool of committed foreign currency reserves that BRICS members can draw upon for support during short-term balance of payments pressures. This mechanism is limited to BRICS countries and operates via bilateral currency swaps between the member central banks.
Efforts to create alternatives
BRICS members are also developing parallel systems to reduce dependence on Western financial infrastructure.
BRICS Cross-Border Payments Initiative: This initiative explores alternatives to the global financial messaging system SWIFT, particularly for intra-BRICS trade using national currencies and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs).
Bilateral currency swaps: Some BRICS nations use bilateral currency swap agreements with other countries to promote trade in local currencies. For example, China uses these with other nations to expand the use of its currency.
Factors influencing association
Sanctions: Western sanctions on Russia have accelerated efforts by some BRICS nations to find alternative payment and settlement systems to bypass the global financial system.
Expansion: As the BRICS bloc has expanded to include new members, its financial institutions, particularly the NDB, have also grown to include non-original members. For example, Bangladesh, Egypt, the UAE, and Uruguay have joined the NDB
‘The answer would reveal if current events are just the latest iteration of professional wrestling-like global events, or if the US/West will inevitably have a direct confrontation with the rest of the world.’
It’s all beginning to look like a scripted kayfabe, isn’t it?
re: comparing today's antics with the Jacobin overthrow is spot on IMO. I remember studying that back in school. Great comparison Mr. Kunstler. As I've said many times before: the deep state never has any new tactics, it's always the same and never changes. Once citizens figure out what their tactics are, they are done and their scare tactics don't work. We the People are buying their ploys less and less. More and more of us are becoming less afraid of them and now are just bored and want them to be sent to where they should have always been - prison or death.
"The play here for the Party of Chaos is the same old routine straight out of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals: instigate action on the enemy in order to provoke a reaction by them that will allow the radicals to yell “tyrant” and “fascist.”"
At this point, so what? We are so far beyond the point of the conventional paradigm of Republican vs. Democrat, left vs. right. We've arrived at the point of lawfare, chaos, insanity and disintegration vs. long-held values of right and wrong, institutional cohesion and simple normalcy. We are not dealing with people who wish to, nay, who are even capable of reasoned dialogue and constructive give and take. Rather, we are faced with a rabble who seeks to upend society on every level in incremental fashion (a "soft" revolution if you will) so that they may assume absolute, uncontestable power. Once achieved, what will come will make the doings of Stalin, Mao and Pot seem like amateur hour.
Now that their efforts are being met with robust push-back (what used to be known as run-of-the-mill law and order), they will escalate their efforts, which in a way is the greatest gift that they can give the normals as the matter will be sorted once and for all.
Bring it on, I say. I'm itching for blood, and I need a fresh head for my porch for Halloween.
I'm with you. I'm in Portland and I'm done with these mentally ill freaks. And that includes the governor and the mayor. Done with the scum.
I'll cut out the tongue to accommodate the candle.
My dog will eat it.
Heh. That's the spirit! After watching those pansies' battle cries of "don't touch me! don't touch me!", I began to long for Mayor LaGuardia calling out the pipefitters' union.
Make sure it has all it's shots first please.
shots are total fraud PLEASE
As long as the transtifas are threatening him and everyone else on the Court, Roberts isn’t going to take any cases that might get him guillotined—though the other four real conservatives might convince him that it’s time. Let’s hope he can read the tea leaves as to where it’s all headed if they don’t put an end to it.
"Roberts is as Roberts does."
The Powers that Be wouldn't be making all these bold moves if they weren't 100 percent sure they had the U.S. Supreme Court in the bag.
Which PTB are you referring to?
CIA, Big Finance, WEF crowd, several other entities. IMO They do have a master PR guru who is helping them write all the scripts (the official narratives), who must be employed at one of the most powerful ad agencies. All the messages and agendas are coordinated - so someone is playing script writer and telling everyone who matters "this is your part. This is your script."
Although the universal coordination is chilling to behold, Kuntsler's invocation of the mad Jacobins is spot on perfect.
All according to Demoncrap plans. They are taking the country to ruin with their storm troopers, and with the help of their millions of imported illegal military-aged men joining in the insurrections around the country. Interestingly, other than illegals, there seem to be few blacks involved in their war against the nation. Gold is going crazy this morning, up $52, just as I predicted to family and friends, i.e., when gold goes ballistic, the country will be going to hell. Sadly, I was correct. Unless the Supreme Court straightens out the woke and corrupt part of the federal judiciary, the efforts of the President to stop the insurrections in Demoncrap cities will be thwarted by judges who actually want the riots and mayhem to continue for the purpose of regaining power for Demoncraps and marxists. While waiting for the government to put down the leftist loon riots and destruction, you would be wise to be armed and proficient with your firearms, while praying you do not need them.
I've been salivating at the chance to add some compost to my garden.
A coworker drove me past some farms in eastern Ohio where the mob buried many of their hits. He knew these guys back in the 70's and he knew who was buried where.
Trump, if pushed will declare the Constitution is NOT a suicide pact and act appropriately to protect the nation. He will echo Old Hickory's "Mr. Marshall has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it."
I'll admit that I'm enjoying Trump’s assault on the Troon terrorists, border jumpers, race hustlers, kooky Karens, and bistro bolsheviks, but we should also be keenly aware that he's handing his tech-bro supporters enormous powers to surveil us, censor us, and block us from accessing to information pertaining to his administration's unconscionable support for a relatively small but murderous rogue state with off-the-charts influence to steer our government officials, our foreign and domestic policies into situations (or sponsor them) that put our nation in deep doo-doo.
Pax, what would be happening with a Democratic Socialist majority government in DC instead? We may have a mini-picture soon if Mamdani is elected and destroys New York.
I have heard rumors of the financial district of New York moving to Texas if he is elected. It would serve the peons of NYC right.
DJT actually said the the Commie soon to be elected mayor of NY will actually be a good thing as it will show with definitive evidence the effects of Commie light.
That is where we appear to be.
Commie Light? Sometimes Trump ticks me off with his tendency to believe what he is being told. Optimism is not a good thing all the time. Mamdani is an indicator, with NYC, of how we are approaching a socialistic state in this country with most of the change in the cities. Socialism wins, globalization wins, BRICS+ wins. Mamdani needs to be wiped out but the decline in the quality of Joe Average will probably get him elected. I hope Trump has plans to stomp on Mamdani’s parade. Trump is still too concerned about NYC, which has fucked him over so many times. I do not understand that.
There is a new stock market in I believe Miami and one coming to Texas. It won't take much to cause the finance people to leave. All they have to do is move their computers to a big barn size building anywhere over a weekend and reopen. Watch the Blue State commies try to impose exit taxes.
False choice. Both parties suck in their own special ways except regarding their propensity to blow our blood and treasure on mideast and European wars that are of no benefit to The United States.
Pax, think about NYC, Minneapolis and Dearborn, We need to keep the socialists and Muslims at their homes. Open borders for forty years has changed the nature of America, It needs to stop.
And why doesn't Michael Moore, who became famous for his movie on the gutting of his beloved Flint, MI, do a movie on the de-Americanization of Dearborn? Because he's a big, fat lefty hypocrite.
When I sometimes watch the opening Minneapolis credits of the old The Mary Tyler Moore Show, I feel sad that this once beautiful city looks like an old National Geographic documentary on some third-world sh*thole.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but that doesn't mean I'll overlook Trump's determination to kill our kids and bankrupt us in a war with Iran just because he's Bibi's b*tch.
actually a stupid comment
Not a war with Iran. Surgical strikes are not a "war"
Right, "surgical," because that's all it takes to take out a civilized country with advanced weaponry that's twice the size of Afghanistan and poses ABSOLUTELY NO THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES. OK, Bibi.
The error of equivalency argument. Bury it.
Appears an accurate statement. Question the long game...
I'm not sure what these mentally ill mobs think they will have if they destroy everything. Is the world they want really just a bunch of insane people, all poor as hell (along with everyone else) having sex on the street, doing drugs on the street, looting anytime they want and dying young? Is that really the world they want? I am baffled by all of this. "Movements" like this *never* provide more liberty for people in the end, they just open the door for ever-increasing tyranny and a permanent police state. It seems a good 1/4 of the country has been given over to a reprobate mind and cannot see the hellscape they will create if allowed to continue. I am not a fan of the military on the streets because I've visited countries where that was a reality. It is no way to live. But that is what is going to happen, along with a "digital ID" that everyone will be clamoring for to insure their "safety". We won't have less control over us if these idiot mobs have their way... we will be controlled completely. From cradle to grave there won't be one thing we can do without permission from the "crown" (or AI). We are so close to losing almost every bit of liberty we have left... it is breathtaking and depressing as hell.
It is not what they want, it is what Satan wants, and they have allowed his complete influence.
They aren't about liberty. What they are doing is to destroy liberty, bring society to the point that people beg for safety and security and then they bring down the socialist hammer. Their objective is power.
Keep voting for those elected representatives!
Not a fan of stereotyping, pigeon holing, etc., but this liberal bent for what euphemistically appears to be equality for all is ironically the demise of the very society they covet. I am a fan of equality in the form of equal opportunity and equal rights. Forcing special rights through mandates and legislation for the perceived disadvantaged is the antithesis of equality. Regardless of our best efforts, complete equality is not attainable. The physical and mental constraints of genetic uniqueness are why some make remarkable achievements and others do not. It is the nature of nature that we all not be identical. Yet we have politicians and political organizations that strive or pretend to strive for a robotic society where there is no uniqueness.
thanks to JHKs common sense, reminding everyone to call them what they are: mentally ill.
All expecting the rest of us to knuckle under to their insanity and violence. I's like to just get on with my life.....
The will to power. They must be crushed completely without apology or remorse.
Without apology or remorse is exactly how Democrats operate. And they gaslight brazenly, engage in blatant projection, flip the script on what they have done and accuse others of what they are guilty of.
They then wonder why their victims feel hostile.
Oh, they want them to feel hostile, they just don't want them to do anything about it. So, here we are. They have nothing to worry about. It's a shame, but true. The country is lost.
They are like a woman who responds with punishment or by withholding reinforcement (negative punishment) if you are loving or affectionate. Soon you don't love them any more. Then they overreact to your righteous anger even if it's well modulated. So they actually 'shape' the hostility, which is kind of sad because hostility is not good.
ANW - Well said. Some do thrive on hostility, and even a chaotic environment, it's the way they've been socialized - their "comfort zone". Sad, yes.
Hmmm. Interesting.
Women of the early 20th century and before had a definite role in society, to care for the next generation but also to maintain households, to network with other women to maintain neighborhoods, to be the primary consumer base for society. Every part of this multiple role has been substantially removed. Where it took six days a week to care for the household it now takes a day or two. Shopping is no longer a time item as Malls and now Amazon makes shopping effortless. Neighborhoods no longer are close. Kids are gone after age 6 for most of the day.
So where being a wife and Mom used to be a full time job, it is no longer. So instead of watching Soaps all day, women want “job” satisfaction in the world, no surprise.
Waiting for Janos to weigh in.
Then add on the Karen influence.
Women who think that is a well weilded weapon is like weeing on a raging forest fire...
Just like they are told to do in Saul Alinsky's "rules for radicals."
They know what they are doing and exactly why they are doing it.
They certainly do, for the most part. There are some who have only partial or no insight. They're like narcissists. How many do you know who know what they are? Not many and they can't be educated.
Sadly, it is time for President Trump do what may be very politically unpopular among some of the more timid of his voter base, though it will be supported by most of it. This action will undoubtedly make the Democrat Socialist "insanity army" go batshit crazy, but they will go crazy, even if Trump does nothing. What is that action? Make a public announcement that he is authorizing federal law enforcement AND any deployed National Guard or Federal troops to use any means, up to and including deadly force, to stop any individual or group physically assaulting federal law enforcement, National Guard members, or Federal troops protecting federal property or innocent American citizens. In other words, the federal officers or troops can use real bullets, real bayonets, or whatever other weapon deemed appropriate to defend themselves. Most of the leftist rioters (they are not "protesters") are at least semi-armed with everything from Molotov cocktails, bricks, and rocks to knives and guns--to attack federal law enforcement or troops. As for the Democrat swine politicians allowing this violent leftist nonsense to go unchecked in their jurisdictions, they have already blatantly violated numerous federal laws, and Trump's DOJ should go into overdrive filing federal charges against them.
As for all of the NGOs funding this leftist nonsense, President Trump should declare every single one of them as organized domestic terror groups (the NGOs know exactly what kind of violence that they are funding) , criminally prosecute their leaders and employees, and seize all of their assets.
The Socialist Commies are already batshit crazy, where have you been???
Once the adversary is reduced to insanity the total victory is close at hand.
FEAR NOT
Asset Forfeiture once consequence of Treason. Many are the Treasonous.
May be time for citizens to unite against the antics of this mob behavior. There’s no reason the citizenry can’t arm up and go fight with the Feds against the commies.
And an executive order or federal law, extending Florida's law about surrounding a vehicle, to every jurisdiction. Protesters surround a vehicle. You get run over and the vehicle owner gets to sue all for any damage to his vehicle.
Better yet, pick one and roll his head up in the window and take him or her for a ride down the interstate. Then let the body drop on the road.
Stop it, you're making my heart go pitter-patter.
Kathy, I so LOVE your style! We'd make great neighbors.
Where have you been all my life? LMAO!
She who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.
Don't worry, Lugh, they already have guillotines prepared for us, complete with waste disposal units for the bodies.
You'll be raptured out of here before it gets that bad, remember?
I saw that they are rolling one out at an ICE detention building as a threat to ICE agents.
Not sure why the ICE agents can't roll out and confiscate this item.
Might as well take some with you.
The colonies revolted over a boost in taxes on barrels of tea.
In America in 2020-2025, we got vials of toxins that killed and injured millions of citizens (many of whom had to take the shots or lose their jobs and incomes) ... and lockdowns where our kids couldn't go to school and we couldn't visit our grandmother in a hospital or nursing home ... and most citizens cheered the "crown"/government for protecting them.
I don't think we have the right stuff any more.
Hello again, Bill! I'm sad to say that I agree with you on us not having "the right stuff any more." Shopping at Whole Foods yesterday, I observed one of our favorite energetic so called "team members" racing around filling bags with groceries for "call-in/pick-up" customers, which, I believe, began with the covid hoax. Being curious, I asked her who was still calling in for groceries. One of the types that she listed was, "people afraid of the covid!" I was floored and responded with, "You're kidding!" With her positive personality, she is prone to laughing and joking. With an incredulous look, she responded, "I know; can you believe it?!"
the very definition of end stage Libtardia
Still seeing healthy ALONE young people wandering around in public with full sunlight masked up or driving down the road.
If I get the chance, I ask them why they are masked up and alone and if they say covid I ask them how big a virus is and walk away laughing.
Predators always prey on those who are alone.
I take it you are covidiot that wears a mask even to this day while walking down the street with nobody anywhere near you or alone driving in your car.
That tracks and they say the uglier you are the more prone to wearing a mask.
I bet you are ugly as sin.
=p
Charlie outed Israel and Israel within America. He is a Christian martyr.
Not totally. The business class of America chafed at the colonialist control of American business that England practiced. The Tea Party was aimed at the strangle hold the new corporations in England had over the up surging American economies.
Your concern for the common sense loss of the American people is right on.
To quote the late Mayor Richard Daley in the summer of love in 1968 “The policeman isn’t there to create disorder, the police are there to preserve disorder.” It’s been a long strange trip we’re on…at some point it is will necessary to have a resolution to this house that stands divided, it either resolves itself peacefully or not. This said maybe 20% of the population are resisting and most of them are reliving the summer of love and the riots in Chicago during the DNC convention in August of 1968. Which means they are dying off. It can’t happen fast enough.
I heard a Boomer refer to the unrest somewhat nostalgically as “no worse than the ‘68 riots”.
Not yet as bad as '68 or the Watts riots of 1965. In Watts the Army fired belt fed machine-guns and fired cannons at buildings. In Chicago in those days Daley would issue "shoot to kill" orders and generally things calmed down pretty quickly. I recall cops with Tommy guns shooting looters. No one in their right or even not right mind would ever have tried a big smash and grab in "Da Mare's" Chicago of the 60's.
When the WASPS started to rot from the head, the Irish should have taken the nation from them.
