C'mon, Jim there is truth in what he says. The GOP is paid to look away and do nothing. What is Pam Bondi doing? Where is the frog marching of these miscreants?

I thought your article was spot on, but we must realize in order to change the direction of the country you must have more of the GOP involved in doing what's right, not what's convenient for them and their wealth accumulation strategies. Congress has earned their do nothing credentials.

Consider that it is do or die also for Trump Administration officials. Democrats will not let the likes of Noem, Gabbard and Co go gently into the good night. If they don't eradicate and humiliate the fraudsters, they will be in the line of Dem fire.

Expecting anything from Congress is a joke. Worthless, bought and paid for traitors and criminals. They are part of the ruination of the USA. Every time Trump bypasses Congress, and finally gets something done, it is music to my ears. At this stage it should be "screw policy and protocol, and just take care of business before we all drown in collapse and failure".

I guess you missed the part where JHK says that people like Soros, who are funding/employing the "protesters" are having their assets seized and so are about to be shut down. Soros et al are the ones creating all this drama. Who would be shutting those operations down and seizing assets of Soros and his ilk? Well, the Dems aren't doing that, looks like it's the GOP in the form of Trump & Co. seizing assets and probably making some arrests along with that. I did see where Monkey Werx on YT told us about 1.5 yrs ago that Gitmo military prison was so full of prisoners the military had arrested, that they had to start putting prisoners in other military prisons around the world, which he named. Monkey Werx is military vet who receives intel that he's allowed to announce. These arrests aren't being made public because CNN etc. refuse to tell We the People the truth - also in war you NEVER tip your hand to the enemy and announce your moves such as how many people you've arrested. My 2 cents.

There were over 1000 raids and arrests of Republican and political opposition, not counting the J6 attendees and people in the general vicinity that Biden & co. were hunting down until the very last day of his administration, how many of them did we hear about? They didn't want to broadcast a Communist witch-hunt for resisters, while the NeverTrump turncoats cowered. (Not to mention more than a few suspicious deaths.) And if it's Monkeywerx, I trust it.

How do we know they cowered? That photo of the Democrats crouched down behind the front seats on J6, while the bored Congressmen sprawled in the seats above looked down with perplexity as they played with their phones.

Where are the RICO charges? Where are the perp walks? Most importantly, where are the frozen assets to bring a halt to the funding of interference? We're hearing crickets from Bondi's DOJ. I imagine it would take a military action, similar to the capture of Maduro, to get our hands on any of the gentleman you mentioned above. Is that even constitutional? I suspect Trump would have to use martial law to get around it. Meanwhile, here at ground zero in Minnesota, my poor, demented, 93-year-old mother is afraid. She's worried rioters are going to climb up on our second-floor apartment balcony, break in, and get us, though there isn't a rioter for 20 miles. I've had to take control of her TV to keep her from watching the news.

If the Federal District Court is in Minnesota, the likely location for the case to be brought, the presiding Federal Judge would have been nominated by one of Minnesota's leftist Senators and therefore likely be a leftist themselves.

There's a fine line between positive thinking, and ignoring reality.

I wonder what event(s) it is that I'm supposed to be distracted from this time? There's so much to choose from now, it's hard to distinguish the psyops from the nefarious operations.

The bigger picture is the failure to enforce the rule of law. The current administration has a pretty sketchy track record in doing so, so I'm not holding my breath. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

It appears intuitively obvious that the Left/Dem operatives have zero fear of being tossed in jail, and considering the track record of other blatant illegal operations (Epstein, Plandemic) I can see why the lack of fear is present. It just emboldens the bad actors.

Rather than the cumbersome deportation process, why not track down and prosecute the employers of illegals, and cut off funds transfers to areas south of the border? Well, we all know why. That's right, there's profits to be had, and palms to be greased.....

Both positive and negative thinking serve to skew reality. Both are error-prone, and such would not serve well the objective thinker.

The positive thinker sees a pile of horse shit and begins digging...looking for a pony.

The negative thinker sees the pile of horse shit and KNOWS there is no pony, and never could be buried within...some bastard dumped it in his driveway, a hostile act, for certain.

The objective thinker sees the pile of shit, and checks his shoes to see if he stepped in it.

They know their two options are surrender or to fight Trump by committing federal crimes and lose even harder. For the impatient: Yes, you will see indictments and arrests this year.

There are some instances where police go overboard with their authority, and do not exhaust possibilities for de-escalation before resorting to lethal force. It happens.

But the "'macro" situation involving ICE is a response to the unprecedented invasion of illegal and criminal immigrants sponsored, supported, and encouraged by the previous federal government, Obama/Biden/Harris chief among them. ICE agents are doing and attempting to do the job that a majority of Americans expect them to do. That's a critical piece of the equation here.

These agitators are an extremely vocal minority, arguing for the continuation of illegal activity, and committing crimes (including obstruction) while doing so. They become criminals and support criminals.

In recent instances, such as Renee Good in Minneapolis, agitators show up in order to agitate. Local politicians encourage them to violence. Renee Good escalated. Other agitators escalate, jumping in front of vehicles, throwing bricks, screaming hysterically, and even trying to "dox" agents. MSM supports them and the politicians use them. It's not law enforcement that is initiating/perpetuating escalation.

If Renee Good was my daughter, sister, friend, I would have told her to find another way to vent frustration than breaking the law to interfere with enforcement of laws that most people support. She engaged in a loser's game. She lost.

Expand full comment
Gym+Fritz's avatar

Renee Good was civilian ideological cannon fodder. She was naive enough to taunt, disobey, and threaten federal law enforcement agents and thought she was somehow* immune to serious consequences. If her sad, needless, death causes others to realize that they are playing with fire, she would be doing all the other obstructive “protestors” a big favor. If you push, threaten, throw things at, law enforcement officers, disregard their commands / or even act disrespectful towards them, there must be consequences (put your self in the position of an ICE agent).

Yes 100% the aim is for tragedy to occur and to use that tragedy for all it’s worth. The training documents for protestors spell this out except of course they strategically avoid mention of a possibility of a fatal outcome. They do suggest trying to get punched, or to provoke any response that they can use to their advantage. Of course they expect death and for them this death was lucrative. A cause for celebration.

I was at the Berkeley People's Park demo in 1969 in which one civilian was killed and many injured. It was a "police riot" but I also saw demonstrators using what could have been deadly force (e.g., hurling blocks of concrete at the cops). After all these years it's still etched in my memory.

I have since vowed never to be present at clashes involving law enforcement. (Living in northern Virginia I could have been at the Capitol on that famous January 6.) These things never turn out well once violent confrontations start. I'm not arguing for passivity but there are better and safer ways to protest.

You expressed that perfectly. I wholeheartedly agree. I’m sick to death of the normalizing and excusing of behaviour that is clearly designed to destabilize and subvert.

I worry too that aggressive foreign policy is creating a far more militarized home environment, however the individual agents and officers are not to blame for that. As I watch these YouTube cop shows and see what these people deal with, it’s perfectly clear that these men with that extra testosterone (the increase in number of female cops concerns me) is exactly what I would want in an emergency. I want to know that we have strong and brave men who are willing to face danger and react quickly without fear. They are not the enemy.

To repeat my long term advice, if you are not armed and trained, you need to do so with haste. The totally corrupt and seditious Dems and their domestic and imported storm troopers are certainly trained in insurrections, violence, and destruction, and the federal agents are not their only target. If you are a patriot, Republican, independent, or just trying to mind your own business, you are a target, or will be. The Demoncraps are losing big time, and prison cells await many of them, so there are no rules they will follow to preserve order. Rather, they are actually pushing for a civil war as they aim to rule even if over a ruined and barren landscape. All about power and control as we are seeing in the EU, Britain, Ireland, Scotland, and even Australia. The Brits and others are aiding the ongoing chaos to destroy President Trump and his supporters. The authorities can not, and will not, save us as we are basically on our own. Prepare!

At least get yourself a Byrna and a Louisville Slugger.

The wood bat is superior to the aluminum one for self-protection.

Even better if you drill out the end of the bat and insert around six ounces or so of lead at the tip for swing weight.

If you are going to buy one gun, make it a shotgun.

My preference is a Remington 870 Magnum Express six in the pipe one in the chamber, and do some combat training, fire load type training, so it never runs empty.

The beauty of a shot gun is its harder to miss and if you do miss the stray BBs will usually not penetrate a wall and kill an innocent inhabitant beyond.

Excellent advice. I own two shot guns and one of them has interchangeable barrels. One for target shoot, the other for home defense.

Can you tell me what a Byrna is?

It's a non-Lethal gun that shoots pepper balls and other fast-moving items to incapacitate an attacker.

The link is safe, or look it up on Google, it's hard to explain.

As far as BB penetration goes, 00 buck will go right through two sheets of drywall like butter.

Make sure to use birdshot.

Mr. Ben---my preference while hunting and for self protection is a Browning A5. Time tested and almost never fails. Mine only holds 4 in the pipe but it is great for dove or duck hunting as well as small game and......I have an A5 in 12, 16, and 20 gauge in case I need to have a back up. Many times the unsaid truth that many forget is-------have plenty of ammunition. No excuse for running out.

What a Second American Civil War Would Actually Look Like

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iryC9flXVVs

Everyone’s talking about “Civil War 2.0.”

But most of them have no clue what that would actually look like.

If a second Civil War ever breaks out in America, it won’t be opposing armies lining up on open battlefields with their muskets like we see glamourized in those old paintings.

It’ll be ideology versus ideology.

Cities burning from the inside. Power grids sabotaged. Cyberattacks. Lone-wolf violence. No front lines. No warning. Sniping. IED's. Terror. There will be NOTHING romantic about it. There will be chaos. I feel really bad for people with young children! It will be very difficult to obtain adequate food, water and especially medical attention. Those on maintenance medications might not make it.

Besides the 30 and under crowd will be on their phones filming. Most having never shot a real gun, and with the internet blacked out those "screens" will be as useful as 'tits on a bull.'

The Demoncraps have been preparing for this since Trump's first term and have upped the ante since his election. With their local, antifa and blm, and imported, millions of illegals, storm troopers, they are increasing the riots, more like insurrections, and destruction. Much of this is designed to prevent the corrupt Dems from going to jail as fighting in the streets would likely preclude any law enforcement against the political criminals. They are hellbent to get their power back even at the cost of a destroyed and fractured U.S. As marxists and useful idiots, power exceeds any concern about deaths and destruction.

They think they are important and that we the people honor and adore them but in reality most people have nothing but utter disdain for them.

I was in the Salt Lake City airport waiting for a flight when a one Senator Mitt Romney exited the plane across the terminal. I watched as he walked down the terminal. The jeers, sneers and the catcalls that bastard received. Nobody asked him for an autograph or a selfie. I believe this is why the man didn't run for a second term.

I also remember another airport involving Burgess Owens, one of Utah's Congress creatures. He was walking along the terminal. He kept turning his head this way and that, darting his eyes to people standing by. He had this look of "I'm important, don't any of you want to talk to me?" Funny. Nobody made any attempts to talk to him.

Important people? Hell no. Hated people? Hell yes.

Freedom 4 conservatives's avatar

Allow me to make a suggestion to President Trump. This whole illegal alien/sanctuary nonsense has gone on long enough. The solution is just lying there, already in Federal law. It is 8 U.S. Code §1324. It clearly states that, in any way, harboring, aiding, abetting or concealing an illegal alien (or aliens) is a Federal felony. Punishment upon conviction of violating that statute can be a combination of fines and imprisonment--and some very stiff ones at that. In fact, if an illegal alien being harbored, etc. in violation of 8 U.S. Code §1324 causes the death of another person, then those convicted of harboring, etc. of the illegal alien can be sentenced to up to life in prison or DEATH.

President Trump should immediately order the DOJ to arrest and charge every single public official sanctioning "sanctuary" jurisdictions (towns, cities, counties, states, etc.) with felony violation of 8 U.S. Code §1324. He should then make a public announcement of this in all of the media (Presidential Address or news conference) with the entirety of 8 U.S. Code §1324 posted clearly in view--in large print. He should also note that interfering with Federal agents enforcing that statute is effectively also a violation of 8 U.S. Code §1324, and those perps will also be felony-charged. President Trump should also note that any NGO providing financial support to illegal aliens or those aiding and abetting them will also find their leaders, financiers, etc. being felony charged, with possible RICO charges also on the table.

But, but, that will lead to the arrest and charging of hundreds, if not thousands of people on felony charges. Yep, damned straight that it will. And every one of them deserves to be charged. A side benefit of all that is that it would knock all of the support--financial and otherwise--out from under the illegal aliens in the U.S.--most of them would self-deport at that point.

Now, of course, this will send the Democrat scum Party of Chaos into full fury, especially when they see a huge number of their elected or appointed officials being perp-walked into jail to await trial. Some of them might get violent. Well, that will be FAFO time for them.

"protests"? It is especially ironic when those who seek to destroy our constitutional republic utilize that constitution to achieve this end. It is beyond cavil that these assorted protestors - most especially their crypto masters - seek ends that are antithetical to American values and ideals. I have to attest to not seeking to overthrow the US Government when I complete my permit for a firearm - in effect, conditioning my 2nd Amendment right to bear arms upon my not turning my firearm(s) against the government. I'd say that something along these lines should be applied to these brigands with respect to their street theater. The constitution was not intended to be a suicide pact. If you seek to harm my country and, by extension, me, then all sorts of consequences may occur.
