John Thune is a shining example of the depravity of the Uniparty in DC - he cares nothing about doing the right thing for the country. Rather, his objective is to avoid creating friction with his Uniparty brethren, be they Dems or RINOs. There is little hope for the US with scum like him ensconced in Congress. These people make me sick 🤮.
As I read this article I could feel a deep seeded anger welling up inside of me. If only I could have some time alone with Mr. Thune in a sealed room to learn him some of the Constitution. Never before have I come to hate and despise politicians more than I do after reading this essay. Such an utter waste of space and resources. This article made my eyes want to explode.
I despise and hate the Democrat party but I truly loathe and detest the Republicans. This bullshit we are getting from Thune is yet more evidence that the Republicans are frauds. They are the paid vocal opposition to the deep state. When they are in power they never make true reforms or do anything to actually fix anything.
Mr. Trump is the Executive and he can only execute the will of Congress. He can't make law. Everything he does with EOs is a temporary band aid, nothing more. Without Congress, no permanent changes will be made. Congress, the biggest do nothing waste of space.
That fucker Thune knows this, as do all of the hypocritical Republican scum that pollute the halls of our Capitol building.
Then there's the clown show they called a dog parade. It's hard not to think of it as a deliberate poke in the eye of the people who still hope and pray they have any say in what the government is and does.
And a long-term oligarchy at that. Only recently have they been more exposed as The Long Emergency continues, and the scramble for their "share" of the shrinking wealth pie consumes more of their time trying to maintain the gains of theft.
This election reform is just theater - the game is rigged. A constitutional convention or convention of states could perhaps provide some temporary relief by replacing all members of Congress, but human nature being what it is, it seems a return to a corrupted system would be likely. But it would be nice to see some justice for at least some of the criminals. Perhaps someday a mob may go France 1793 with torches and pitchforks, when there is nothing left to steal.
The founders knew this kind of thing could happen. That's why they put Article 5 in the Constitution. The problem is the States themselves are divided by the bickering political factions we know as Democrat and Republicans and the states themselves can't pull their heads out of their own asses to get together and do anything about the madness.
We are truly boned as a Republic.
Thank you Abraham Lincoln you ugly son of a bitch!
Not to disagree, but seeing the term “uinparty” used as an excuse / deflection to explain Thune’s lack of action is something of a copout, (perhaps in order to avoid deeper analysis of what has to be his intentional, calculated, inaction).
When 75% of the electorate can not get an innocuous, reasonable, and important law enacted, there is something very wrong with the way our government is operating. Sure, we get to elect (choose between) pre-selected party candidates to faithfully represent our common interests, . . . but if it’s easy to cheat on the elections, where the hell are we as a nation? We are kidding ourselves if we think we are a democratic republic.
Amen to that. You should see the scum bags on my HOA. $2 million missing from the HOA checking account. The President of the Board just bought a new Land Rover and paid cash for it.
The American Government is a bright reflection of the American people themselves. School boards, City Councils, HOA boards, all the way down to families themselves. Americans seek only the grift and filthy lucre of the world. Money, money, money. That's all they care about and they'll do anything to get it.
Thune will do anything he can to help the Dems. As I predicted months ago, after the midterms are over POTUS Trump will be impeached over allegations that he is a child molester and rapist. He'll be subpoenaed and if he refuses to cooperate or lies he'll be impeached. The goal of the Dems is to make the child molesters and pervert child rapist label stick to not only him but everyone who ever supported him. He'll be subpoenaed and if he refuses to cooperate or lies he'll be impeached. The left have their Woodwards and Bernsteins ready and have already begun their feeding frenzy:
Think about the idea that the Ult-Left, the enemy of this country is setting up to destroy the financial power of their own party with Epstein. So far, their attempt to get Trump has been pathetic and the folks in the moderate wing of the Democrats are under threat. The Ult-Left are a group of power crazed elites that need to be destroyed by the voters. Soon.
The real enemy is the far far Left. They are marxist and have infiltrated most institutions in the country. It has been a journey spanning about a century. It appears they feel strong enough to strike the major blow. Although it can be framed in Left/Right, I maintain this is the incorrect axis. It is the up/down axis which needs attention. Up is freedom, down is oppression.
"that need to be destroyed by the voters" You're too kind, they need to be destroyed without qualifiers. They are the zealous enemies of the Constitutional Republic.
The solution rides with the moderate Left. When more folks cross the line and join MAGA against the idiots, then the Ult-Left will be stopped from destroying the country.
Mr. John----in a decent world with decent and law abiding pols, that could happen but.....I think it is only wishful thinking. How many Dem/Marxists would agree that men cannot have babies? zero ? one?
Moderates in the Dem/Marxist party went extinct quite a while ago.
It's possible, even likely, that Trump has a plan. He has a history of drawing his adversaries out into the open so that they are exposed as weak and feckless, fighting the wrong battle, and then does some kind of end-around to get what he wants.
That's true. But if voters think he fucks children for sport and Thune won't allow the SAVE Act to be voted on so that Dems can create more votes than there are voters (again), what good does Trump's machinations do?
Trump is surrounded by neocons and globalists. There are only a handful of (as in one hand) people around him who will act in the interest of the people (and his fast-fading presidency) because they are essentially internal motivators who want to do right for the country.
Because they've convinced him that going after the bad guys full-force would collapse the entire world. And it might. But if you have satanists by the balls, you crush them or face God's judgment. It doesn't help that his spiritual advisor is one of these "gospel of wealth" types who pronlbably gives him bad counsel.
They won't be destroyed, John. They're caught in a thought-loop that they're smarter and more righteous than anyone else who's ever lived, and the big money is backing them, just as big money supported Mussolini, Hitler, and other maniacs whom they thought would give them absolute financial power over a people, and ideally (in their fantasies) the whole world. They thought they could control the lunatics because of expected financial power, but as we know, they were wrong. If Yrump succeeds, there'll be upheaval; if he fails, we'll have a global dictator supported by the ultra-wealthy and the governments they control; basically, worldwide fascism.
Many mal-educated (meaning brainwashed) Americans have not figured out that Fascists and Communists are just two-sides of the same Socialist coin. Both hate free-market capitalism, both hate freedom, both love dictatorship, both are racist (the race to be persecuted may differ by location), and both fervently believe that the Socialist political elite are the only ones qualified to control and manage the economy. The only historical difference between the two Socialist ideologies is that Fascist/Socialism will allow some large corporatists to exist, so long as they pledge their total allegiance to the regime, while Communist/Socialism holds that there should be no private ownership of property whatsoever. What no one notices is that two ideologies are slowly merging--the Fascist/Socialists moving toward even greater government control of property while the Communist/Socialists (China, specifically) have moved to the more Fascist model of accepting some corporatist ownership with that requirement of complete allegiance pledged to the regime.
The fight within the now full Socialist Democrat Party in the U.S. (the name is now a joke, there is not one shred of Democratic ideology in the Democrat Party) is between the few Communist/Socialist nutcases (Sanders, the Squad, and some younger Democrat morons), and the more cold Fascist/Socialist scumbags (the wealthy Democrat elite, Pelosi, Clintons, Obama, Biden, et al). Both are supremely dangerous to the survival of the American Republic and both will ultimately have to be permanently removed from political power--however that is effected--for the American Republic to be safe from dictatorial tyranny. The issue with some RINOs is that they are either "closet" Fascists or they are gullible enough to think that one can reason with dyed-in-the-wool Socialists of either the Fascist or Communist factions. You can't negotiate with Socialists; you can't negotiate with a Socialist ideology that can only exist and survive in a dictatorship. And the saying rings absolutely true: Scratch any Socialist and you will find either a Fascist or a Communist underneath. The biggest lie ever told is that "MAGAs" are Fascists--they are as far from Fascists as one can get.
AND they are globalistic, powered by international financiers. An irony here is that the Democratic government of the USA under FDR at the end of WW2 was responsible for much of the globalistic thinking.
That answer is easy. The PTB protect themselves. Trump knows that the cream of the crop are going to get clobbered by their obvious corruption by Epstein, and lots of others. Remember the Jewish corruption withMaddow in Florida? Trump has used the word, disruption. I believe that is an understatement.
Bondi is a Swamp plant -- all talk, no production, and intentionally fuckung up cases to protect the VIPs, as you say.. Patel, I'm not sure. Bongino, I think is a decent guy, but he was told to stop pulling threads or they'd wipe out his family and put him in a federal prison on trumped-up charges (pardon the pun).
Mr. John, I typically agree with most of your comments but......you mention the moderate wing of the Democrats. I think that part of the Dem/Marxist party has been gone for 40+ years. You used to have pro-life Dems and Dems who supported the 2nd Amendment, and.....used to support the military and generally were pro America. Those people are long gone----sadly. We have Fetterman but....he still votes with the Dems basically 99%
It's good that you are in touch with reality. The writing is on the wall. They are obviously being destroyed by the voters:
" Gubernatorial Elections
Democrats secured notable victories in the 2025 off-year gubernatorial races, which were the first major statewide contests following the 2024 presidential election.
Virginia: Abigail Spanberger (D) won the open seat, flipping it from Republican control after Governor Glenn Youngkin's term limit. This marked Virginia's first female governor and shifted the state from a Republican trifecta to a Democratic one.
New Jersey: Mikie Sherrill (D) won the open seat, retaining Democratic control after Governor Phil Murphy's term limit. This was the first time Democrats won three consecutive gubernatorial elections in the state since 1961.
Both victories were by double-digit margins, outperforming Democratic expectations and signaling a backlash against the Trump administration's early policies.
Other Statewide Elections
Virginia Lieutenant Governor: Ghazala Hashmi (D) won the open seat, making history as one of the first Muslim Americans elected to statewide office in Virginia.
Virginia Attorney General: Jay Jones (D) defeated incumbent Jason Miyares (R), flipping the position.
Georgia Public Service Commission: Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard won two seats, flipping them from Republicans. These were the first non-federal statewide Democratic victories in Georgia in nearly two decades.
State Legislative Elections and Specials
Throughout 2025, Democrats flipped 25 GOP-held state legislative seats out of 119 contested in regular and special elections, representing a 21% flip rate. Key highlights include:
StateChamberDemocratic GainsNotesVirginiaHouse of Delegates+13 seatsLargest majority since the 1980s.New JerseyGeneral Assembly+5 seatsAchieved supermajority.MississippiState Senate+3 seats (net)Broke GOP supermajority.IowaState Senate+2 seats (net)Including a January 2025 special.GeorgiaState House+1 seatSpecial election flip in a Trump+ district.PennsylvaniaState Senate+1 seatFlip in a deeply Republican area.TexasState Senate+1 seatFebruary 2026 special flip by Taylor Rehmet in a Trump+17 district.
Democrats also retained three Pennsylvania Supreme Court seats. In California, a 2025 ballot measure (Prop 50) added five Democratic-leaning congressional districts via redistricting.
Congressional Special Elections
Democrats held or overperformed in several 2025 specials, with vote swings averaging 13% toward Democrats across 60 contests.
Arizona's 7th: Adelita Grijalva (D) held the seat.
Texas's 18th: Christian Menefee (D) won the runoff.
Virginia's 11th: James Walkinshaw (D) held the seat.
New Jersey's 11th: A Democrat won the special following Mikie Sherrill's resignation to become governor.
Additional overperformances in Florida (two districts), Virginia, Arizona, and Tennessee specials (though Tennessee was a GOP hold).
Major Mayoral and Local Elections
Democrats won several high-profile mayoral races in 2025, including flips and historic firsts.
New York City: Zohran Mamdani (D) won in a three-way race, with historic turnout.
Miami: Eileen Higgins (D) flipped the seat, the party's first win in 25 years.
Detroit: Mary Sheffield (D) gained the seat after the incumbent retired.
San Antonio: Gina Ortiz Jones (D) flipped the seat.
Other gains: Roswell (GA), Dearborn Heights (MI), Syracuse (NY). Holds in Albuquerque, Hoboken, Jersey City, and more.
County-level: Flips in Erie County (PA), Winnebago County (WI), and Hudson County (NJ) sheriff.
As of February 28, 2026, no major 2026 midterm results are available, but early specials like the Texas state Senate flip indicate continued Democratic momentum. These wins have boosted Democratic optimism heading into the 2026 midterms, amid low Trump approval ratings and economic concerns."
Yup, Blue state denizens scared into the voting booth by Trump. They do not want their Federal tit to dry up. The worst enemy of a democracy is when the people figure out they own the purse strings. That is the primary reason the FF made us a republic.
I hadn't thought about that, but you may be right. It would explain the preoccupation with Epstein, pederasty, and obstruction of the facts. It would also explain Thune's refusal to get the SAVE Act yo the floor for a vote since the GOP Establushment no doubt sees the Democrats' evildoing as a way to get rid of the troublemaking Trump so they can get back to their own evildoing.
Right - and you’d think Trump would understand this. Without the SAVE act, he rots in jail the rest of his life and his family impoverished. He may not be able to control the seditionist Thune, but he could replace Patel and Bondi with someone that would aggressively prosecute all those connected to the Fulton County fraud. How could he not understand the personal stakes here?
If he has any foresight at all he would have seen this coming and planned an attack on Iran as soon as it became obvious this was headed for the front pages. Getting the US embroiled in a foreign forever war and letting that dominate the headlines would be a master stroke now.
I am convinced that someone, somewhere, within one or more of the various alphabet agencies has compromising information on practically all members of Congress, which they hold over their heads should they fail to comply. It beggars belief that this is not the case, as the matter before Thune amply suggests.
As for the Democrats cheating their way into a midterm blowout: yes, not only possible but extremely likely. Should this occur, and should they successfully impeach the president, I believe it would be akin to a modern-day firing upon Fort Sumter. I do not say this in jest or without careful deliberation.
There is no way on God’s green earth that a great swath of this country would merely grumble and ultimately do nothing. Take it as you wish, but that would be the flashpoint and, in my view, the ultimate undoing of the Marxist left.
Unfortunately, I think the great swath of this country will do nothing if the Dems cheat their way to a midterm blowout. Nobody will want to be first in the line of fire. There will need to be an outside event - a huge disaster, an enormous revelation that is not watered down, an event so shocking that people are jolted into action. So many people are stuck in their thought silos with no real concept of what is going on. We live in a matrix.
That is my read of the political temperament here in the northeast. Most people are oblivious or just plain not interested. Any relevant conversations only regurgitate MSM talking points. Try introducing alternative news, you get blank stares like they can't comprehend. It's very discouraging and frankly scary knowing these people vote.
Life must still be pretty decent for them. They can pay their taxes, buy food, download their porn and visit their prostitutes. As long as they still have money in their bank accounts and food to eat, why should they think any differently?
People will think very differently when they have to worry about where their next meal is going to come from.
Naw, I think it will come down to one thing. Starvation. When people can't eat anymore then they'll be motivated into action. As long as they can get EBT and go buy pizza and pepsi with it they will be content to continue to absorb all their mind porn spewed at them by the teevee.
Covid should have awakened the masses to the cancerous leviathan the US government has become but it didn't. In fact, the majority of Americans jumped on the covid band wagon, closed down their own businesses, failed their own churches and turned their backs on their own family members. Americans are mind numbed people. It will take something terrible that kicks them in the balls to wake them up.
Trump stated that he feared releasing the files because of the disruption to the political situation it would cause, and the country needed to have solid governance. Like a lot of things, Trump’s words have been confirmed, the Epstein files are clobbering many elites, and the Ult-Left are showing what a huge group of assholes they really are. Does ANYONE think that the squad gives one thought about the welfare of their people? Or most of the Congress.
The Left has had 10 years and an nutso administration to get him. They didn’t, why? Because they are more guilty than he is and they know it. How come right now that the only folks pushing “Get Trump”are a few Ult-Left wingnuts. The PTB realize who is really going to get hurt.
Blackmail is the currency of the elite political class. Has been since, well maybe the 2nd Century BC. So nothing new. But the players simply play their own games within that blackmail. Epstein is by the way a mid-level player on the global stage. Not the central figure by any means. There are many “Epsteins”. Some even Arab and Muslim. All play the game.
Mr. Tom-----that someone, somewhere is the Mossad. Our Congress is bought and paid for. But....I believe there is more than 1 someone/somewhere and between these 3,4, or maybe 5 or 6 groups control our pols with compromising info on almost all of our pols. Yes, I could be a conspiracy nut but........too much stuff does not add up. Don't you think that just for once most pols would do something/anything that is good for the taxpayers but......I have seen very little of this outside of what Trump is trying to do and......I think the MIC has his ear, unfortunately.
I challenge anyone to share one thing that Congress has done that has personally benefitted them in their personal lives? I cannot think of one damned thing.
Sorry, but that's exactly what they'll do. January 6 told them that they have no right to redress grievances to the government. Law enforcement will not be on their side.
Thune , Tillis, Cornyn, Lankford, et al, they all have that look of sipping martinis by a 1960s country club pool. They’re old skool Rockerfeller Republicans, who used to be some of the most liberal politicians before Vietnam and feminism permanently changed the Democrat Party. My family were ethnic east coast Catholics, Union Members, and very conservative Democrats. Back then the Democrats were more socially conservative than the Republicans by a long shot. The war among Republicans that resulted in the Reagan Revolution was very staunchly opposed by those liberal Republicans who had all the power in the 60s and early 70s. These clowns are cut from the same bolt of cloth. I despise them with the intensity of a thousand suns. Fooking country club, chamber of commerce, WASP Republicans.
It is an absolute minority of the voter base but still controls a majority of the party hierarchy. This was why it was so difficult to remove the doofus Romney woman in spite of evidence of incompetence, or even depraved indifference.
I called Thune a few minutes ago to tell him I am "unified" about the SAVE act and killing the silent filibuster. Lazy, worthless, spineless, grifters..... 202-224-3121 is the #
Even ten thousand calls from peasants like you and me is nothing compared to the one call that matters - the ones from their owners. Which means this is not a representative republic, but another kind of government entirely.
I got a voicemail/answering machine from Mr. Thune which means we are melting the phone lines. I am reliably told that overwhelming numbers of calls to the point where they turn on the answering machine is one of the only things which can cause these pols to reconsider something. I imagine it indicates people are getting their asses off he sofa and people getting up and doing things historically can end with certain people decorating lamp posts in the gravest extreme. None of them want to think of themselves winding up on display like Mussolini.
Mr. John, decorating lamp posts is a great idea. I think we need north of 500 lengths of rope and the same number of lamp posts but.....if we run out of lamp posts, a stout tree will suffice.
[11] The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.
Lord have mercy on America. Lord change the minds of the ones who oppress your people. Save us O Lord that the power of our government returns to the people. In Jesus name Amen
God won't do anything. God has given this filth too much deference for more than a hundred years. Not only has God given them deference he has permitted them to thrive, prosper and replicate.
Who am I to dictate what God should or shouldn't do? I'm nobody.
All I can say is evil thrives in today's world and it thrives at the expense of the good and the innocent. Why does God permit this to happen to such an extent? I don't know and I certainly don't understand. Two explanations make sense to me:
1. God doesn't intervene because he created us and is now off playing golf with his buddies.
2. God doesn't intervene because he can't. He's either dead or he's limited by his own laws as to what he can or cannot do.
Either way, with a God to help, we are boned as a society and totally on our own.
Thune will do nothing and retire comfortably on our dime. Whether he's known forever as the villain who continued the downward spiral of the United States or not won't bother him or his family in the slightest. He'll be only a footnote amongst those that not only allowed this to happen, but orchestrated it.
Sociopaths possess neither the skill of introspection nor the capacity for empathy, so they really don't care unless there are harsh consequences for their criminality. They're pathological liars and that is why so many are found in positions of power (especially the unelected beaurocrats who never seem to be held accountable for their actions).
Yep. Who remembers Harry Reid or Tom Daschle? Remember Orrin Hatch? These filthy fuckers live out the remainder of their lives in peace because Americans can't remember them.
Currently Senator Thune is President of the UniParty! That’s the problem he owes his Supporters their continued Grift and he knows they don’t care what the People want!
The self serving fools who populate the GOPe or Bush faction of the party believe they can get rid of Trump and his supporters who are the majority of GOP voters and return us to that halcyon time when the President and his cronies secretly screw us in the shadows while acting with "decorum." A return to those glorious days of go along to get along, a guaranteed cut of all grift, and being the cuckolds known as the "controlled opposition."
America uses various means, such as recommended best practices in national codes, to standardize commercial law, engineering standards (ASTM), building and fire codes across the USA. Why not use the same process to establish national standards for elections? Think of an ASTM standard for election integrity.
When has the congress not ultimately wrecked the country? The 1986 vaccine laws, the 2005 prep act, now the putrid Save Act to usher in digital IDs for everything. When has the government catered to the citizenry? Before the Civil War, perhaps and not since.
Your last statement is wrong. The pre-Civil war years were marked by continuous compromise, trying to keep a balance in the Congress between slave and free states. The ability to compromise stopped when more free states were to be admitted, and when Lincoln was elected, that was it. The torch was lit.
I will answer your question. The only time that the government does anything is when it is forced to by disasters That affect their re-electability. That is it. When they cannot manipulate things to hide problems instead of dealing with them.
I would be interested in seeing how much money Thune received from AIPAC. Any way, we have more important things on our plate right now than voter reform, like bombing Iran.
There is no more important issue than voter verification, IMHO. That is exactly what always stops the reform process, coming up with stuff to jam the gears. Until the true nature of the voting citizens is obtained, corrupt politicians will run the Deep State down our throats.
Unless and until the SAVE Act is passed and instituted, I will not vote. I live in Minnesota. I'm 75 and I have voted in every national election since 1972. But this is my promise.
Wow, so you are going to protest by removing your only way of protesting, your vote. Minnesota needs all the conservative voters it can muster. Your state is falling off a Blue cliff.
The counter of the votes is just as important. The ID laws will change nothing, other than subject the citizenry to ever increasingly intrusive requirements to participate in civic life.
Yes, and think a bit further. Do you really believe this is going to solve anything? Who watches the watchers?
The system is not only broken, but evidence of its brokenness is used by both sides to convince you that the fix is to be had by your compliance with the destruction of your rights.
Destruction of my rights, by making only citizens to vote, and stopping the invasion of the voting booth by machine, both high tech and political. How is that an invasion of my rights?
I see it more as window dressing. That is the difference between us: you think SAVE signifies something. I think it is there to pacify you into thinking something is being done.
Of course something is being done, though: you are being asked to verify your identity even further--which also happens to be part of the global agenda.
"Senator John Thune of South Dakota has emerged as a vocal supporter of Israel’s military operations, heavily influenced by the $461,724 he has received from AIPAC to fund his political campaigns. This financial backing has secured Thune's unwavering loyalty to pro-Israel, anti-Palestine legislation, even in the face of overwhelming evidence of Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Thune's votes to send Israel $41 billion in military aid and his support for cutting U.S. funding to UNRWA—an organization providing humanitarian relief to Palestinians—underscore his complicity in the war crimes committed against Palestinian civilians." https://www.boughtbyzionism.org/john_thune?utm_source=perplexity
It’s obvious that the SAVE Act is being turfed by Israeli money corrupting American politicians. Obvious to all the God-hating Satan-worshipping jihadist supporters.
The reason John Thune, not someone of great integrity and intellect, is Majority Leader is because he is Cocaine Mitch McConnell's protege. Also, the GOP Establishment doesn't give a shit about the Constitution or the general public any more than the Satanic Democrats do. Trump wants to do great things that, if successful, would upset the apple cart for almost everyone in Washington, even the country; therefore, it's understandable that everybody and his brother is doing everything he can to stop Trump, even if it destroys what's left of the country.
The beginning focus of this term was DOGE and ending theft and misappropriation. I believe we are seeing that there was a whole lot more stealing going on than even a cynic such as myself imagined. I consider opposition to be an admission they are benefitting from or participating into this theft.
Agreed. But what are we gonna do about it? We can't very well vote them out because at least half of the country WANTS the corruption. Assassinations are out because that's what the bad guys do. I don't know that a revolution is feasible because, again, so many people like what we have, plus even the military who might side with us would fight to protect the existing order against "subversives," even though the actual subversives are essentially running everything.
“…Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
How do we bring more pressure to bear on Mr. Thune?? Calling him out in front of the whole country as Mr. Trump did during the State of the Union speech was not enough?
When I finally read C. Wright Mills’ 1956 book, The Power Elite about twenty years ago, I was surprised at how well it had stood the passage of time. Rather than just a document of an earlier era, it continues to be a valuable lens for seeing the way the world works.
A detail of the book that I found startling at first was Wright’s placement of United States Senators as only middle managers in our nation’s power structure. When W retired from the Oval Office he was asked what most surprised him when he first became President. He replied, without hesitation, that he was surprised at how little power he had. More than a few of our better-informed fellow citizens regard the Federal Reserve Banks as the apex of evil, while most have never even heard of the central bank of central banks: the BIS.
It would almost be comforting to believe that the world is the way it is because human beings are deeply flawed, and our monkey brains are so limited - which is true enough. But the real reason we must continue to be oppressed by so much that is patently stupid, and perverse, and counterproductive is because that all benefits those who actually run things, and the real puppet masters are scarcely visible to us at all.
Wouldn’t the world produce vastly more wealth for the benefit of billions of people if visible solutions were implemented? Well, sure. But then it would no longer serve as a gigantic engine to transfer wealth upward, from those who labor and create and produce to those who rake it all in.
As ever, the key to understanding is simple: Cui Bono.
John Thune is a shining example of the depravity of the Uniparty in DC - he cares nothing about doing the right thing for the country. Rather, his objective is to avoid creating friction with his Uniparty brethren, be they Dems or RINOs. There is little hope for the US with scum like him ensconced in Congress. These people make me sick 🤮.
I second that regurgitation!
I third! I feel sick to my stomach just thinking about this.
As I read this article I could feel a deep seeded anger welling up inside of me. If only I could have some time alone with Mr. Thune in a sealed room to learn him some of the Constitution. Never before have I come to hate and despise politicians more than I do after reading this essay. Such an utter waste of space and resources. This article made my eyes want to explode.
I despise and hate the Democrat party but I truly loathe and detest the Republicans. This bullshit we are getting from Thune is yet more evidence that the Republicans are frauds. They are the paid vocal opposition to the deep state. When they are in power they never make true reforms or do anything to actually fix anything.
Mr. Trump is the Executive and he can only execute the will of Congress. He can't make law. Everything he does with EOs is a temporary band aid, nothing more. Without Congress, no permanent changes will be made. Congress, the biggest do nothing waste of space.
That fucker Thune knows this, as do all of the hypocritical Republican scum that pollute the halls of our Capitol building.
Exactly!
The GOP: We love being the out party! All of the grift, none of responsibility!
Exactly. Why fix a problem if we can leech more money out of people if we leave it alone?
They get paid handsomely for being the minority party.
Amen!
Then there's the clown show they called a dog parade. It's hard not to think of it as a deliberate poke in the eye of the people who still hope and pray they have any say in what the government is and does.
Hand picked by McConnell, just like Paul Ryan's replacement
🤮🤮🤮
Do you remember that picture of Paul Ryan "pumping iron?"
Tyson? I don't think so. Pete Buttigieg maybe and Buttigieg would have been the one doing the pumping.
Or maybe it was Lindsey Graham?
They're an oligarchy. It's been an oligarchy with a veneer of the republic they murdered and used as a skinsuit. I don't know what the answer is.
Sure, you do. It just requires courage conviction and the willingness to kill and die to preserve Liberty for your children and grandchildren.
And a long-term oligarchy at that. Only recently have they been more exposed as The Long Emergency continues, and the scramble for their "share" of the shrinking wealth pie consumes more of their time trying to maintain the gains of theft.
This election reform is just theater - the game is rigged. A constitutional convention or convention of states could perhaps provide some temporary relief by replacing all members of Congress, but human nature being what it is, it seems a return to a corrupted system would be likely. But it would be nice to see some justice for at least some of the criminals. Perhaps someday a mob may go France 1793 with torches and pitchforks, when there is nothing left to steal.
The founders knew this kind of thing could happen. That's why they put Article 5 in the Constitution. The problem is the States themselves are divided by the bickering political factions we know as Democrat and Republicans and the states themselves can't pull their heads out of their own asses to get together and do anything about the madness.
We are truly boned as a Republic.
Thank you Abraham Lincoln you ugly son of a bitch!
Not to disagree, but seeing the term “uinparty” used as an excuse / deflection to explain Thune’s lack of action is something of a copout, (perhaps in order to avoid deeper analysis of what has to be his intentional, calculated, inaction).
When 75% of the electorate can not get an innocuous, reasonable, and important law enacted, there is something very wrong with the way our government is operating. Sure, we get to elect (choose between) pre-selected party candidates to faithfully represent our common interests, . . . but if it’s easy to cheat on the elections, where the hell are we as a nation? We are kidding ourselves if we think we are a democratic republic.
Amen to that. You should see the scum bags on my HOA. $2 million missing from the HOA checking account. The President of the Board just bought a new Land Rover and paid cash for it.
The American Government is a bright reflection of the American people themselves. School boards, City Councils, HOA boards, all the way down to families themselves. Americans seek only the grift and filthy lucre of the world. Money, money, money. That's all they care about and they'll do anything to get it.
Same - sickens me
Thune will do anything he can to help the Dems. As I predicted months ago, after the midterms are over POTUS Trump will be impeached over allegations that he is a child molester and rapist. He'll be subpoenaed and if he refuses to cooperate or lies he'll be impeached. The goal of the Dems is to make the child molesters and pervert child rapist label stick to not only him but everyone who ever supported him. He'll be subpoenaed and if he refuses to cooperate or lies he'll be impeached. The left have their Woodwards and Bernsteins ready and have already begun their feeding frenzy:

Think about the idea that the Ult-Left, the enemy of this country is setting up to destroy the financial power of their own party with Epstein. So far, their attempt to get Trump has been pathetic and the folks in the moderate wing of the Democrats are under threat. The Ult-Left are a group of power crazed elites that need to be destroyed by the voters. Soon.
The real enemy is the far far Left. They are marxist and have infiltrated most institutions in the country. It has been a journey spanning about a century. It appears they feel strong enough to strike the major blow. Although it can be framed in Left/Right, I maintain this is the incorrect axis. It is the up/down axis which needs attention. Up is freedom, down is oppression.
"that need to be destroyed by the voters" You're too kind, they need to be destroyed without qualifiers. They are the zealous enemies of the Constitutional Republic.
The solution rides with the moderate Left. When more folks cross the line and join MAGA against the idiots, then the Ult-Left will be stopped from destroying the country.
IF the GOP voted in lock-step like the Dems do... and we didn't have sell-outs like Thune and Johnson... so many great Bills would have been passed.
Yes, Dems are scum... as usual... but the RINOs are the ones to blame.
Absolutely, 100% agree.
Mr. John----in a decent world with decent and law abiding pols, that could happen but.....I think it is only wishful thinking. How many Dem/Marxists would agree that men cannot have babies? zero ? one?
Moderates in the Dem/Marxist party went extinct quite a while ago.
I agree, not many. Ironically, two of them are named Clinton. The voting differences are so small though that every vote counts.
It's possible, even likely, that Trump has a plan. He has a history of drawing his adversaries out into the open so that they are exposed as weak and feckless, fighting the wrong battle, and then does some kind of end-around to get what he wants.
That's true. But if voters think he fucks children for sport and Thune won't allow the SAVE Act to be voted on so that Dems can create more votes than there are voters (again), what good does Trump's machinations do?
Trump is surrounded by neocons and globalists. There are only a handful of (as in one hand) people around him who will act in the interest of the people (and his fast-fading presidency) because they are essentially internal motivators who want to do right for the country.
Lutnick appears to be Trump's minder.
I'd go for Wiles. Got a quarter we can flip?
He's got some guys in the right places though. Why doesn't he get the charges and arrests going?
Because they've convinced him that going after the bad guys full-force would collapse the entire world. And it might. But if you have satanists by the balls, you crush them or face God's judgment. It doesn't help that his spiritual advisor is one of these "gospel of wealth" types who pronlbably gives him bad counsel.
They won't be destroyed, John. They're caught in a thought-loop that they're smarter and more righteous than anyone else who's ever lived, and the big money is backing them, just as big money supported Mussolini, Hitler, and other maniacs whom they thought would give them absolute financial power over a people, and ideally (in their fantasies) the whole world. They thought they could control the lunatics because of expected financial power, but as we know, they were wrong. If Yrump succeeds, there'll be upheaval; if he fails, we'll have a global dictator supported by the ultra-wealthy and the governments they control; basically, worldwide fascism.
Many mal-educated (meaning brainwashed) Americans have not figured out that Fascists and Communists are just two-sides of the same Socialist coin. Both hate free-market capitalism, both hate freedom, both love dictatorship, both are racist (the race to be persecuted may differ by location), and both fervently believe that the Socialist political elite are the only ones qualified to control and manage the economy. The only historical difference between the two Socialist ideologies is that Fascist/Socialism will allow some large corporatists to exist, so long as they pledge their total allegiance to the regime, while Communist/Socialism holds that there should be no private ownership of property whatsoever. What no one notices is that two ideologies are slowly merging--the Fascist/Socialists moving toward even greater government control of property while the Communist/Socialists (China, specifically) have moved to the more Fascist model of accepting some corporatist ownership with that requirement of complete allegiance pledged to the regime.
The fight within the now full Socialist Democrat Party in the U.S. (the name is now a joke, there is not one shred of Democratic ideology in the Democrat Party) is between the few Communist/Socialist nutcases (Sanders, the Squad, and some younger Democrat morons), and the more cold Fascist/Socialist scumbags (the wealthy Democrat elite, Pelosi, Clintons, Obama, Biden, et al). Both are supremely dangerous to the survival of the American Republic and both will ultimately have to be permanently removed from political power--however that is effected--for the American Republic to be safe from dictatorial tyranny. The issue with some RINOs is that they are either "closet" Fascists or they are gullible enough to think that one can reason with dyed-in-the-wool Socialists of either the Fascist or Communist factions. You can't negotiate with Socialists; you can't negotiate with a Socialist ideology that can only exist and survive in a dictatorship. And the saying rings absolutely true: Scratch any Socialist and you will find either a Fascist or a Communist underneath. The biggest lie ever told is that "MAGAs" are Fascists--they are as far from Fascists as one can get.
Best add "zionists" to that malignant mix.
Shh you are going to send Lugh into orbit with this one.
100% on point.
AND they are globalistic, powered by international financiers. An irony here is that the Democratic government of the USA under FDR at the end of WW2 was responsible for much of the globalistic thinking.
Wilson’s attempt after WW1, the League of Nations was stopped successfully by an AmericaFirst Senate.
Accurate.
Ever wonder why Trump, Blondi, Kash, bongina have all been spewing bald-faced lies about the Epstein matter since it first became a 'thing"???
That answer is easy. The PTB protect themselves. Trump knows that the cream of the crop are going to get clobbered by their obvious corruption by Epstein, and lots of others. Remember the Jewish corruption withMaddow in Florida? Trump has used the word, disruption. I believe that is an understatement.
Bondi is a Swamp plant -- all talk, no production, and intentionally fuckung up cases to protect the VIPs, as you say.. Patel, I'm not sure. Bongino, I think is a decent guy, but he was told to stop pulling threads or they'd wipe out his family and put him in a federal prison on trumped-up charges (pardon the pun).
Mr. John, I typically agree with most of your comments but......you mention the moderate wing of the Democrats. I think that part of the Dem/Marxist party has been gone for 40+ years. You used to have pro-life Dems and Dems who supported the 2nd Amendment, and.....used to support the military and generally were pro America. Those people are long gone----sadly. We have Fetterman but....he still votes with the Dems basically 99%
It's good that you are in touch with reality. The writing is on the wall. They are obviously being destroyed by the voters:
" Gubernatorial Elections
Democrats secured notable victories in the 2025 off-year gubernatorial races, which were the first major statewide contests following the 2024 presidential election.
Virginia: Abigail Spanberger (D) won the open seat, flipping it from Republican control after Governor Glenn Youngkin's term limit. This marked Virginia's first female governor and shifted the state from a Republican trifecta to a Democratic one.
New Jersey: Mikie Sherrill (D) won the open seat, retaining Democratic control after Governor Phil Murphy's term limit. This was the first time Democrats won three consecutive gubernatorial elections in the state since 1961.
Both victories were by double-digit margins, outperforming Democratic expectations and signaling a backlash against the Trump administration's early policies.
Other Statewide Elections
Virginia Lieutenant Governor: Ghazala Hashmi (D) won the open seat, making history as one of the first Muslim Americans elected to statewide office in Virginia.
Virginia Attorney General: Jay Jones (D) defeated incumbent Jason Miyares (R), flipping the position.
Georgia Public Service Commission: Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard won two seats, flipping them from Republicans. These were the first non-federal statewide Democratic victories in Georgia in nearly two decades.
State Legislative Elections and Specials
Throughout 2025, Democrats flipped 25 GOP-held state legislative seats out of 119 contested in regular and special elections, representing a 21% flip rate. Key highlights include:
StateChamberDemocratic GainsNotesVirginiaHouse of Delegates+13 seatsLargest majority since the 1980s.New JerseyGeneral Assembly+5 seatsAchieved supermajority.MississippiState Senate+3 seats (net)Broke GOP supermajority.IowaState Senate+2 seats (net)Including a January 2025 special.GeorgiaState House+1 seatSpecial election flip in a Trump+ district.PennsylvaniaState Senate+1 seatFlip in a deeply Republican area.TexasState Senate+1 seatFebruary 2026 special flip by Taylor Rehmet in a Trump+17 district.
Democrats also retained three Pennsylvania Supreme Court seats. In California, a 2025 ballot measure (Prop 50) added five Democratic-leaning congressional districts via redistricting.
Congressional Special Elections
Democrats held or overperformed in several 2025 specials, with vote swings averaging 13% toward Democrats across 60 contests.
Arizona's 7th: Adelita Grijalva (D) held the seat.
Texas's 18th: Christian Menefee (D) won the runoff.
Virginia's 11th: James Walkinshaw (D) held the seat.
New Jersey's 11th: A Democrat won the special following Mikie Sherrill's resignation to become governor.
Additional overperformances in Florida (two districts), Virginia, Arizona, and Tennessee specials (though Tennessee was a GOP hold).
Major Mayoral and Local Elections
Democrats won several high-profile mayoral races in 2025, including flips and historic firsts.
New York City: Zohran Mamdani (D) won in a three-way race, with historic turnout.
Miami: Eileen Higgins (D) flipped the seat, the party's first win in 25 years.
Detroit: Mary Sheffield (D) gained the seat after the incumbent retired.
San Antonio: Gina Ortiz Jones (D) flipped the seat.
Other gains: Roswell (GA), Dearborn Heights (MI), Syracuse (NY). Holds in Albuquerque, Hoboken, Jersey City, and more.
County-level: Flips in Erie County (PA), Winnebago County (WI), and Hudson County (NJ) sheriff.
As of February 28, 2026, no major 2026 midterm results are available, but early specials like the Texas state Senate flip indicate continued Democratic momentum. These wins have boosted Democratic optimism heading into the 2026 midterms, amid low Trump approval ratings and economic concerns."
Yup, Blue state denizens scared into the voting booth by Trump. They do not want their Federal tit to dry up. The worst enemy of a democracy is when the people figure out they own the purse strings. That is the primary reason the FF made us a republic.
I hadn't thought about that, but you may be right. It would explain the preoccupation with Epstein, pederasty, and obstruction of the facts. It would also explain Thune's refusal to get the SAVE Act yo the floor for a vote since the GOP Establushment no doubt sees the Democrats' evildoing as a way to get rid of the troublemaking Trump so they can get back to their own evildoing.
Right - and you’d think Trump would understand this. Without the SAVE act, he rots in jail the rest of his life and his family impoverished. He may not be able to control the seditionist Thune, but he could replace Patel and Bondi with someone that would aggressively prosecute all those connected to the Fulton County fraud. How could he not understand the personal stakes here?
Using which judge?
They all seem to be corrupt and in someone pocket.
These people are crazy- Donald J Trump
If he has any foresight at all he would have seen this coming and planned an attack on Iran as soon as it became obvious this was headed for the front pages. Getting the US embroiled in a foreign forever war and letting that dominate the headlines would be a master stroke now.
That's nuts.
Attack Iran to cover his guilty ass?
Lose tens of thousands of our sailors and soldiers to prevent HIS guilt being exposed?
He would and SHOULD be impeached immediately if he attacks Iran... and it will be bipartisan.
He needs pictures of body bags. That's what he needs people to focus on. He needs a rally around the flag effect ASAP. He would know that.
I am convinced that someone, somewhere, within one or more of the various alphabet agencies has compromising information on practically all members of Congress, which they hold over their heads should they fail to comply. It beggars belief that this is not the case, as the matter before Thune amply suggests.
As for the Democrats cheating their way into a midterm blowout: yes, not only possible but extremely likely. Should this occur, and should they successfully impeach the president, I believe it would be akin to a modern-day firing upon Fort Sumter. I do not say this in jest or without careful deliberation.
There is no way on God’s green earth that a great swath of this country would merely grumble and ultimately do nothing. Take it as you wish, but that would be the flashpoint and, in my view, the ultimate undoing of the Marxist left.
Unfortunately, I think the great swath of this country will do nothing if the Dems cheat their way to a midterm blowout. Nobody will want to be first in the line of fire. There will need to be an outside event - a huge disaster, an enormous revelation that is not watered down, an event so shocking that people are jolted into action. So many people are stuck in their thought silos with no real concept of what is going on. We live in a matrix.
That is my read of the political temperament here in the northeast. Most people are oblivious or just plain not interested. Any relevant conversations only regurgitate MSM talking points. Try introducing alternative news, you get blank stares like they can't comprehend. It's very discouraging and frankly scary knowing these people vote.
Life must still be pretty decent for them. They can pay their taxes, buy food, download their porn and visit their prostitutes. As long as they still have money in their bank accounts and food to eat, why should they think any differently?
People will think very differently when they have to worry about where their next meal is going to come from.
Yes, food more than anything else motivates rebellion.
Let them eat cake!
Naw, I think it will come down to one thing. Starvation. When people can't eat anymore then they'll be motivated into action. As long as they can get EBT and go buy pizza and pepsi with it they will be content to continue to absorb all their mind porn spewed at them by the teevee.
Covid should have awakened the masses to the cancerous leviathan the US government has become but it didn't. In fact, the majority of Americans jumped on the covid band wagon, closed down their own businesses, failed their own churches and turned their backs on their own family members. Americans are mind numbed people. It will take something terrible that kicks them in the balls to wake them up.
Trump stated that he feared releasing the files because of the disruption to the political situation it would cause, and the country needed to have solid governance. Like a lot of things, Trump’s words have been confirmed, the Epstein files are clobbering many elites, and the Ult-Left are showing what a huge group of assholes they really are. Does ANYONE think that the squad gives one thought about the welfare of their people? Or most of the Congress.
To make an omlette, you break eggs.
The idea that he can't release files or arrest anyone for committing crimes is ridiculous.
It is a show. And your rights get stripped away ever more the longer it goes on.
What rights?
Do be specific and show your work.
Trump's fear is that HIS guilt will be exposed.
PERIOD.
JJ
The Left has had 10 years and an nutso administration to get him. They didn’t, why? Because they are more guilty than he is and they know it. How come right now that the only folks pushing “Get Trump”are a few Ult-Left wingnuts. The PTB realize who is really going to get hurt.
Blackmail is the currency of the elite political class. Has been since, well maybe the 2nd Century BC. So nothing new. But the players simply play their own games within that blackmail. Epstein is by the way a mid-level player on the global stage. Not the central figure by any means. There are many “Epsteins”. Some even Arab and Muslim. All play the game.
Agreed. One can only surmise that that's exactly what they want.
Thune is probably a toe-tapper and they know it.
I prefer to call them sodomites. Sodomy is the initiation ritual of Satan and his cabal of evil and it is rampant among the elite.
No arguments here.
In our modern age that is a mark of honor
Yes. The primary role of the US military, apart from fighting for Israel, is to spread toe-tapping around the globe.
Ah good old Larry Craig!
Toe-tapper? Pardon my crudity, but is that a way of saying turd-tapper, fudgepacker, etc.?
Remember that closeted fruit, Larry Craig?
From Idaho. He had a "wide stance."
Mr. Tom-----that someone, somewhere is the Mossad. Our Congress is bought and paid for. But....I believe there is more than 1 someone/somewhere and between these 3,4, or maybe 5 or 6 groups control our pols with compromising info on almost all of our pols. Yes, I could be a conspiracy nut but........too much stuff does not add up. Don't you think that just for once most pols would do something/anything that is good for the taxpayers but......I have seen very little of this outside of what Trump is trying to do and......I think the MIC has his ear, unfortunately.
I challenge anyone to share one thing that Congress has done that has personally benefitted them in their personal lives? I cannot think of one damned thing.
Sorry, but that's exactly what they'll do. January 6 told them that they have no right to redress grievances to the government. Law enforcement will not be on their side.
I disagree with the country not doing anything.
What sends people into the streets is not a cheated election per se.
No, it's when they show up to the just in time store and there are no cheesy doodles and nothing but empty shelves and their own cupboards bare.
I think you can add Judges and prosecutors to that list.
Thune , Tillis, Cornyn, Lankford, et al, they all have that look of sipping martinis by a 1960s country club pool. They’re old skool Rockerfeller Republicans, who used to be some of the most liberal politicians before Vietnam and feminism permanently changed the Democrat Party. My family were ethnic east coast Catholics, Union Members, and very conservative Democrats. Back then the Democrats were more socially conservative than the Republicans by a long shot. The war among Republicans that resulted in the Reagan Revolution was very staunchly opposed by those liberal Republicans who had all the power in the 60s and early 70s. These clowns are cut from the same bolt of cloth. I despise them with the intensity of a thousand suns. Fooking country club, chamber of commerce, WASP Republicans.
Bush Republicans, Trump’s goal has always been to stop that group in the GOP.
Think about this, Trump has been labeled a populist by the Deep State media. What an insult, feeling he is supposed to be supporting Joe Average.
"Trump’s goal has always been to stop that group in the GOP."
It's not a group within the party. It IS the party and always has been.
It is an absolute minority of the voter base but still controls a majority of the party hierarchy. This was why it was so difficult to remove the doofus Romney woman in spite of evidence of incompetence, or even depraved indifference.
Nonsense.
He is just fine with a corrupt DOJ and FBI... Kash and Blondi should have been ejected long ago...
His staff and Cabinet are a gaggle of zionist-supporting sell-outs, Lutnick, Wiles and Ratcliffe especially.
Mr. Willian, my sentiments exactly.
I called Thune a few minutes ago to tell him I am "unified" about the SAVE act and killing the silent filibuster. Lazy, worthless, spineless, grifters..... 202-224-3121 is the #
Even ten thousand calls from peasants like you and me is nothing compared to the one call that matters - the ones from their owners. Which means this is not a representative republic, but another kind of government entirely.
Yep. What we see before us is merely a collection of marionettes.
If voting mattered, it would be illegal.
I got a voicemail/answering machine from Mr. Thune which means we are melting the phone lines. I am reliably told that overwhelming numbers of calls to the point where they turn on the answering machine is one of the only things which can cause these pols to reconsider something. I imagine it indicates people are getting their asses off he sofa and people getting up and doing things historically can end with certain people decorating lamp posts in the gravest extreme. None of them want to think of themselves winding up on display like Mussolini.
Mr. John, decorating lamp posts is a great idea. I think we need north of 500 lengths of rope and the same number of lamp posts but.....if we run out of lamp posts, a stout tree will suffice.
Americans don't have the guts to do this. Too afraid of the powerful Federal Leviathan.
HE knows he is ignoring 80% of the population... I doubt he cares about one more.
If 100k people call, it might make a difference, but only from his own district.
Are there even that many people in all of his district in South DAKOTA?
He couldn't care less if you are outside of that, as you don't control his job.
Yep, and your call may have been listened to by one of Thune's horny female political science interns and then subsequently deleted.
Rest assured, when that call is made, your number and name are put on some kind of list to be dealt with at some point.
They run your file to see if you are crazy.
Psalm 94:1-11 NKJV
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongs-
O God, to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth!
[2] Rise up, O Judge of the earth;
Render punishment to the proud.
[3] LORD, how long will the wicked,
How long will the wicked triumph?
[4] They utter speech, and speak insolent things;
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
[5] They break in pieces Your people,
O LORD, And afflict Your heritage.
[6] They slay the widow and the stranger,
And murder the fatherless.
[7] Yet they say, "The LORD does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob understand."
[8] Understand, you senseless among the people;
And you fools, when will you be wise?
[9] He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
[10] He who instructs the nations,
shall He not correct,
He who teaches man knowledge?
[11] The LORD knows the thoughts of man, That they are futile.
Lord have mercy on America. Lord change the minds of the ones who oppress your people. Save us O Lord that the power of our government returns to the people. In Jesus name Amen
God won't do anything. God has given this filth too much deference for more than a hundred years. Not only has God given them deference he has permitted them to thrive, prosper and replicate.
Who am I to dictate what God should or shouldn't do? I'm nobody.
All I can say is evil thrives in today's world and it thrives at the expense of the good and the innocent. Why does God permit this to happen to such an extent? I don't know and I certainly don't understand. Two explanations make sense to me:
1. God doesn't intervene because he created us and is now off playing golf with his buddies.
2. God doesn't intervene because he can't. He's either dead or he's limited by his own laws as to what he can or cannot do.
Either way, with a God to help, we are boned as a society and totally on our own.
🙏 Amen and amen. 🙏
I believe changing the minds of many evildoers is not God’s will. He has hardened many hearts just as He did Pharaoh’s, to destroy them.
God’s will be done! If America must be broken in pieces, so be it.
Paul won't be happy until Murica is a theocracy.
With HIS 'God' being the big Boss!
Thune will do nothing and retire comfortably on our dime. Whether he's known forever as the villain who continued the downward spiral of the United States or not won't bother him or his family in the slightest. He'll be only a footnote amongst those that not only allowed this to happen, but orchestrated it.
Who needs a beer?
Sociopaths possess neither the skill of introspection nor the capacity for empathy, so they really don't care unless there are harsh consequences for their criminality. They're pathological liars and that is why so many are found in positions of power (especially the unelected beaurocrats who never seem to be held accountable for their actions).
That's why we should all hire serial killers....
And security teams.
Mr. Dweebie----ok if I imbibe a shot of something a little stronger? Kind of early but I cam make an exception.
Chin Chin!
Yep. Who remembers Harry Reid or Tom Daschle? Remember Orrin Hatch? These filthy fuckers live out the remainder of their lives in peace because Americans can't remember them.
Currently Senator Thune is President of the UniParty! That’s the problem he owes his Supporters their continued Grift and he knows they don’t care what the People want!
Honor? Did you say honor? ROTFLMAO!
Honor? We don't need no stinkin' honor!
What is ROTFLMAO.
Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.
Thank you! Now I get it.
The self serving fools who populate the GOPe or Bush faction of the party believe they can get rid of Trump and his supporters who are the majority of GOP voters and return us to that halcyon time when the President and his cronies secretly screw us in the shadows while acting with "decorum." A return to those glorious days of go along to get along, a guaranteed cut of all grift, and being the cuckolds known as the "controlled opposition."
Why don't they arrest any of the criminals from the past 10 years or so? Wouldn't that be a start to solving the problem?
I mean, if not now, then when?
Just haul his sorry ass off to Guantanamo in the middle of the night along w Mitch and some of their pals.
When the streets turn red I'm afraid
Even then, do the malleable masses figure out that their enemy is largely not one another, but those manipulating them to think exactly that?
Even on CFN, which is not mainstream, we have a whole gaggle of Binary Bobs who can't think their way out of a paper bag.
The Republican Party was birthed in iniquity and hasn't changed much since.
America uses various means, such as recommended best practices in national codes, to standardize commercial law, engineering standards (ASTM), building and fire codes across the USA. Why not use the same process to establish national standards for elections? Think of an ASTM standard for election integrity.
That’s precisely what the Save Act is.
Ray where do you get off proposing some of that, “Common Sense” stuff when Politicians are involved!
Ha, truer words.
Such standards are voluntarily adopted to some extent. Like the USC.
When has the congress not ultimately wrecked the country? The 1986 vaccine laws, the 2005 prep act, now the putrid Save Act to usher in digital IDs for everything. When has the government catered to the citizenry? Before the Civil War, perhaps and not since.
Don't forget the Patriot Act (name being an inversion, as so often).
Your last statement is wrong. The pre-Civil war years were marked by continuous compromise, trying to keep a balance in the Congress between slave and free states. The ability to compromise stopped when more free states were to be admitted, and when Lincoln was elected, that was it. The torch was lit.
I will answer your question. The only time that the government does anything is when it is forced to by disasters That affect their re-electability. That is it. When they cannot manipulate things to hide problems instead of dealing with them.
Instead of whining and moaning in every comment thread, my friend.....
Watcha going to do about it?
I would be interested in seeing how much money Thune received from AIPAC. Any way, we have more important things on our plate right now than voter reform, like bombing Iran.
There is no more important issue than voter verification, IMHO. That is exactly what always stops the reform process, coming up with stuff to jam the gears. Until the true nature of the voting citizens is obtained, corrupt politicians will run the Deep State down our throats.
Unless and until the SAVE Act is passed and instituted, I will not vote. I live in Minnesota. I'm 75 and I have voted in every national election since 1972. But this is my promise.
Wow, so you are going to protest by removing your only way of protesting, your vote. Minnesota needs all the conservative voters it can muster. Your state is falling off a Blue cliff.
The counter of the votes is just as important. The ID laws will change nothing, other than subject the citizenry to ever increasingly intrusive requirements to participate in civic life.
Part of the SAVE act will control the methodology of counting the vote, counting machines and computers included.
I agree though, until it is a paper vote, corruption is possible.
Yes, and think a bit further. Do you really believe this is going to solve anything? Who watches the watchers?
The system is not only broken, but evidence of its brokenness is used by both sides to convince you that the fix is to be had by your compliance with the destruction of your rights.
Destruction of my rights, by making only citizens to vote, and stopping the invasion of the voting booth by machine, both high tech and political. How is that an invasion of my rights?
That is the fear. "Get quaxxinated and prove your status with this handy quaxxine passport."
If it requires a biometric scan will you do it?
As I said earlier, passage of SAVE is imperative as a guide post. A whole new problem shows up, how do you enforce it?
I see it more as window dressing. That is the difference between us: you think SAVE signifies something. I think it is there to pacify you into thinking something is being done.
Of course something is being done, though: you are being asked to verify your identity even further--which also happens to be part of the global agenda.
"Senator John Thune of South Dakota has emerged as a vocal supporter of Israel’s military operations, heavily influenced by the $461,724 he has received from AIPAC to fund his political campaigns. This financial backing has secured Thune's unwavering loyalty to pro-Israel, anti-Palestine legislation, even in the face of overwhelming evidence of Israel’s genocidal actions in Gaza and the West Bank. Thune's votes to send Israel $41 billion in military aid and his support for cutting U.S. funding to UNRWA—an organization providing humanitarian relief to Palestinians—underscore his complicity in the war crimes committed against Palestinian civilians." https://www.boughtbyzionism.org/john_thune?utm_source=perplexity
OpenSecrets tracks $461,724 in career pro-Israel contributions to Thune from 1990-2024, placing him among top recipients.....
That is actually a matter of public record.

The man has held office for 24 years.
The longer they hold office, the more corrupt they get.
Looking at his net worth, he is nowhere near as corrupt as Omar, who is worth like 30 million now.
It’s obvious that the SAVE Act is being turfed by Israeli money corrupting American politicians. Obvious to all the God-hating Satan-worshipping jihadist supporters.
You know that all 'Gods' and Satan are fiction, eh Paul?
Imaginary. Myths. Man made.
“Did Jesus resurrect?” “Yep!” “Is he still alive?” “Yep!” “Cool, then can I see him?” “We’ll, it’s complicated…”

The reason John Thune, not someone of great integrity and intellect, is Majority Leader is because he is Cocaine Mitch McConnell's protege. Also, the GOP Establishment doesn't give a shit about the Constitution or the general public any more than the Satanic Democrats do. Trump wants to do great things that, if successful, would upset the apple cart for almost everyone in Washington, even the country; therefore, it's understandable that everybody and his brother is doing everything he can to stop Trump, even if it destroys what's left of the country.
The beginning focus of this term was DOGE and ending theft and misappropriation. I believe we are seeing that there was a whole lot more stealing going on than even a cynic such as myself imagined. I consider opposition to be an admission they are benefitting from or participating into this theft.
Agreed. But what are we gonna do about it? We can't very well vote them out because at least half of the country WANTS the corruption. Assassinations are out because that's what the bad guys do. I don't know that a revolution is feasible because, again, so many people like what we have, plus even the military who might side with us would fight to protect the existing order against "subversives," even though the actual subversives are essentially running everything.
If Thune does not act….
“…Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government…”
That is the purpose of elections. That is why it is so important that elections are legitimate.
Yet we get people like Nancy Pelosi for forty years.
How do we bring more pressure to bear on Mr. Thune?? Calling him out in front of the whole country as Mr. Trump did during the State of the Union speech was not enough?
Call him at 202-224-3121. ☎️
Call every day. Let the numbers rack up to a record if possible.
When I finally read C. Wright Mills’ 1956 book, The Power Elite about twenty years ago, I was surprised at how well it had stood the passage of time. Rather than just a document of an earlier era, it continues to be a valuable lens for seeing the way the world works.
A detail of the book that I found startling at first was Wright’s placement of United States Senators as only middle managers in our nation’s power structure. When W retired from the Oval Office he was asked what most surprised him when he first became President. He replied, without hesitation, that he was surprised at how little power he had. More than a few of our better-informed fellow citizens regard the Federal Reserve Banks as the apex of evil, while most have never even heard of the central bank of central banks: the BIS.
It would almost be comforting to believe that the world is the way it is because human beings are deeply flawed, and our monkey brains are so limited - which is true enough. But the real reason we must continue to be oppressed by so much that is patently stupid, and perverse, and counterproductive is because that all benefits those who actually run things, and the real puppet masters are scarcely visible to us at all.
Wouldn’t the world produce vastly more wealth for the benefit of billions of people if visible solutions were implemented? Well, sure. But then it would no longer serve as a gigantic engine to transfer wealth upward, from those who labor and create and produce to those who rake it all in.
As ever, the key to understanding is simple: Cui Bono.
