“. . . the Democrat Party is no longer a political party. It is an insurrectionist crime syndicate that will torch the Constitution to stay in power.” —Stephen Miller
There is a third group, represented on the blog. A group of anti-Trump, socialist leaning group that believe that the answers to social ills lie in government. History calls them fools. They probably read JHK and said to themselves, WTF, these attendees are wonderful.
FWIW when I started working in 1970 the government took more than the value of an ounce of gold from my paycheck every month. Now my SS doesn’t amount to an ounce of gold so I would have to live to 120 to recover what was stolen from me. I don’t depend on SS now (thank the lord), but if I did I would be even more pissed off. I worked as a self employed driver so my SS was double what employees of a company personally pay (the other have is paid by the employer). SS was/is just another tax scam by an unaccountable government who can’t resist endless wars to kill people around the world and make the MIC rich.
JAZ - they are the implied, against whom we defend our way of life or lose it to them. As Elysianfield is famous for saying, it's for the children, but in this case, I jest not.
It is for the children. Yup, as the Deep State knows, as they stupidify the new generations about the goodness of the USA and indoctrinate them about the evil country they live in.
Our money is supporting immigrants. We didn't have enough of them. And Trump says we still don't. We don't have enough Blacks, Muslims, Chinks, and Pajeets.
Bullshit, Buck, I paid into the retirement bucket for fifty years and have received benefits for 14. SSA and Medicare are NOT entitlements, they are retirement plans. It is not my fault that the government effed them up too.
SSA and Medicare are not retirement plans. They are what people get who don't plan. If someone lives exclusively on those plans for very long at all, the amount they get out of those buckets far exceeds what was put in even factoring in interest. SSA and Medicare are incentives for people to make bad choices. Yes, they are a good safety net for those with low IQ or disability who cannot earn much and don't have a family to support them but the life-long wage earner who decided not to save and/or build relationships and plan when they were young cannot expect everyone else who did do so to pick up the check for them. Sorry, but life is not fair and facts don't care about feelings.
Neither do I care about your feelings. Everyone can't (for whatever reasons) save enough to retire comfortably, even after working very hard all of their life. I don't have a low IQ or disability and my only income other than SSI is roughly $6400 yearly in dividends on some stocks. I am living quite comfortably on my small income as my home was paid for decades before and I live in a small Southern community with a low cost of living. My biggest financial problem is due to our rampant inflation and the biggest issue with that is the corresponding increase in my property taxes. But still I'm doing ok and enjoying life. Money isn't everything. One day you may forced into some humility.
SSA and Medicare ARE retirement plans, involuntary, set up to force people to save something for their old age. With our age profile right now, if SSA and Medicare did not exist, this country would be a third world country.
You ARE right though, they were designed as Social Security for folks unwilling or unable to save for retirement.
Entitlements do not have a tax base to pay for payments. Theoretically, SSA does. A trust fund. That our government spent to zero. Entitlements are illegal Medicaid, child care payments, UBI, etc., not supported by a plan.
Also, all retirement plans pay out more than they take in, because of inflation and economic growth. SSA is no different.
Very few if any productive people get out of Social Security even close to what they paid into it (invested at interest). That’s why before Trump every Republican worth his salt was publishing some scheme to “privatize” Social Security, so that peoples’ old age pensions wouldn’t be such an earnings suck. You’re damn right I collect my Social Security check every month. I’ve been supporting old farts like myself in retirement for the last 45 years out of my meagre earnings.
After having provided the government with almost half a million dollars, based on a 4% annual rate of return, and my employers having contributed almost that much on my behalf, it is likely that I will die while the government still has most of those accumulated/compounded/confiscated funds. I'm "entitled" to every nickel I can claw back from those racketeers.
That’s a bit of a slam against people who didn’t plan for their ‘retirement’ for whatever reason. Some people are not ‘planners’…they may have grown up in hand to mouth homes, with not a lot of extra funds to plan for retirement, then they grew up and ended up in the same boat. Your comment feels rather paternalistic and condescending.
My favorite is when I watch Baby Boomers who retire only on social security payments sell their homes and go build bigger homes they don't need and then bitch and complain that they don't have enough social security to live on.
People who are in debt should not be permitted to retire with social security IMO. If you have a mortgage or if you get a new mortgage when you are 67 you keep working or you sell the property and get out of the mortgage.
SSA was originally intended, when it was created, to be an end of life safety net. Keep in mind that when it started the average lifespan of the average American was nowhere near what it is today. Social Security has become a retirement plan for many because too many Americans can't manage their money well enough to save for retirement. Instead they buy big fancy homes they don't need, fancy cars they don't need and spend all their excess money on trips to Disneyland, expensive I-phones and cable TV. I agree with Ruth Gordon.
I'm 51 and I've paid into SS since I was 17. I don't expect I'll ever see a dime of SS by the time I reach retirement age. Now that is a kick in the balls.
What about folks like me who foolishly let Merril Lynch look after our retirement savings. The experts I was told. Dennis, you just have to trust the American System.
My wife and I lost ~$500,000 in 2008. Literally wiping out our savings. Thanks Merrill Lynch. I was 65....impossible to recoup that money.
CP have you not notice what has happened to the value of the dollar since the 70's??Look at what the hell is going on today Choice Ribeye 22.99lb just 8 years ago was 12.99/14.99lb.We the people have been robbed and screwed without lube for decades.We are slaves to a corrupt system and you want to blame people for not being able to safe two pennies ....WTF!I am so frigg'in ready for this POS system to just collapse and the writing is on the wall and those 401Ks....?I still have a little but about two years in Fiden term I started going medals.When the SHTF guns/ammo will become the new gold standard which I have ...........?along with my medal not in no damn bank.
How to account for ‘managing next to no extra’ money when one doesn’t have any extra ? When one lives a hand to mouth existence. Especially nowadays when the cost of living everywhere is crazy compared to the money coming in. The money one makes doesn’t cover much if one is not a “high paid professional”. And not everyone wants to be nor can they be a doctor, lawyer, or tech wizard!
No, actually SSA was started to get old people out of the job market so that younger people could get jobs. It gave a sustenance wage to the oldsters in the 30s.
Totally agree that the current Joe Average depends on SSA for his retirement savings. We tend to spend to our wage limits and do not think about the future. Before SSA, these people starved or lived with family, multi-generationally.
You will see social security payments, but after 2034, they may be reduced as the subsidy from the trust fund will be gone. One taxpayer per recipient.
The Dems are again playing fear factor with SSA like Covid. I am anticipating the change in my plans.
I see more people with six figure and more in income who fit that description with fancy cars they don't need, Iphones, cable etc. and I see a lot of them eventually destitute because they bit off more financially than they could chew. The secret is to live within your means but most can't seem to do that.
It would have been way easier to remain true to the American way of life and concepts this country was founded upon, than to fix it once it was so corrupted.
Democracy is probably not capable of returning this country to where it was decades ago.
Of course it is not possible to return the USA to where it was decades ago. The USA has been looted over these last five decades and it is now bankrupt.
$31 trillion in bankruptcy. And counting. The money is gone. There is no money. Zero. Zip. Nada. The USA has lived well beyond its means for far too long. The only answer now is to default on the debt and start over and that won't happen. The PTB will print their way out of it and suck all our savings dry.
You are probably right about a coming default and big problems with it, but the truth is that these days money isn't real, just 1's and 0's on a screen. Money is a figment of mans imagination, just a way to keep things under control. yawn, I need a nap.
So true. However, a debt jubilee is coming one way or another. Governments and citizens are so far in debt that they cannot pay back the amount owed. It will happen. Eventually, something is going to break. I hope that by then a debt jubilee will happen and all debt will be eliminated. There really is no other way.
And you are right, all of the money I saved is nothing more than pixels on a computer screen. It could all be wiped out in a split second.
Yeah, only Capitalism can do that! We need to man up, become coolies, and out work and breed those incoming savages. That means our women have to have lots of babies on coolie wages.
Yes, Ron it is over. When our ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, invites a person who spied on this country, stole secrets and was imprisoned rather than executed, and now lives freely in the criminal state of Israel. Think about this, a convicted spy lobbying an American ambassador from inside the embassy he once betrayed, and the White House didn’t even know it happened. How fucked up is that!

In the mid 1970s, I was a young (14 year old) teenaged girl. I saw a bumper sticker that read, “Who cares about apathy, anyway?”. It made me suddenly feel quite sad. A forbidding sadness. I had no idea why, but it's clearly stuck with me the rest of my life.
"The angels of justice are coming for them and they know it, despite the machinations of their allied judges to gum up every earnest Article II effort attempted since 1/20/25 to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth. They shall fall by the sword: They shall be a portion for foxes. But the king shall rejoice in God; Every one that sweareth by him shall glory: But the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
I hope I live long enough to see it but......I am afraid that the evil ones are getting away with everything. A judge blocks the attempt at gerrymandering in Texas but.......no judge anywhere says anything about the whole east coast gerrymandering to where Rs have zero Representatives but typically get 40+ % of the votes all thru the New England area and would probably get more if voter fraud was not so rampant.
Identified once again, the Northeast states are the playbook for gerrymandering.
At the state level,, the collusion between the 3 branches creates tyranny. The judiciary acts as sole arbiter, oppressively enabling the legislative and executive branches in turn, as warned in Federalist 47 when addressing the structure of the new government.
Mr. Kevin----I have noticed that most of the POS judges do get overturned but .......they gum up the works for a period of time and this is exactly what the POS wants. If John Roberts was not such a pussy he would instruct the SC judge who goes back to the POS tells them in no uncertain terms that this bull shiff needs to stop and if it does not, he will personally suggest they be impeached. But Roberts is not going to do this because he is a POS as well. He is the only reason we got stuck with ObamaCare and I think someone has pics of him with a goat or he would not twist everything to give the Dem/Marxists half or most of what they want. Was he nominated by W ? I will never, ever vote for anyone named Bush, even if they are not related to W and his clan. I just saw an article the other day that the Bushs are getting together to try to take the Republican party back after Trump leaves office. Jeb is still probably pissed that Trump called Jeb out for the RINO he is.
It took a while, but they captured every important "truth-seeking" organization and institution in the world. I don't know how you expose - and then purge - so many key leaders in so many organizations if the organizations that are supposed to do this job are all captured.
I don't think "Substack Contrarians" are going to be able to do this. The "watchdog" Fourth Estate is comprised of maybe 40,000 editors and "journalists" - all 40,000 know the stories they can write and, more importantly, the stories they can't write.

I made a comment to similar to this. I was once in a legislative session at the state capitol surrounded by wheeling and dealing politicians. I left the Capitol that day thinking I need to go talk to my priest and confess. I have never felt so dirty as I did in that room with those politicians.
I ran for office as VT state representative in 2020. I only got the most fleeting impression of what life as a politician might be like, but it was enough for me to say that I'd never run for anything ever again. The whole time I was campaigning and battling my opponents, it was so awful. I also didn't like myself in that role, always being in combat mode, always ready to defend and offend. I'm glad I didn't win the election. I DID get my name next to Donald Trump's and Kanye West's on the ballot, though. Still have that photo to this day. ;)
James I do so admire your optimism but I am confident that exactly zero deep state plotters will serve any time behind bars. That stinks, but the judicial rot has so permeated our "government" that leftist judges will slow and stymie all efforts to rightfully banish these people from our society. As Marvin the Martian once said "Delays! Delays! Nothing but delays!"
Nice to see someone else addressing this very real micro echo chamber of insanity anti-Trump/Us and very boisterous anti Jew Israel chorus line of fools.
I, too, have little faith that justice shall be done by men in this government, in this country, on this earth. But every assurance the traitors will see eternal justice before the Great White Throne of Judgment. Until then I pray that history forgets any of them were ever considered our countrymen.

👍👍 Nice post, JHK. It’s remarkably difficult to understand what the Dems hope to accomplish with their urging for military insurrection. Perhaps a second civil war for the US?? If so, they’ve conveniently forgotten that Republicans own the majority of around 400 million firearms in the US, unlike the Dems who are often confused as to which end of a gun to point toward the target.
Normal Americans will find the insurrectionist encouragement to be despicable, while the Dem crazies embrace the concept 🤷♂️🤷♂️ I can’t foresee a pleasant ending for the chapter of US history in which we currently find ourselves.
How about this? Muslims and Jews/Christians cannot co-exist. Every Muslim that immigrates into the country is a threat to the Constitution, preferring Sharia law. Places like Dearborn, Michigan, 45% Muslim, are going to show how much the Muslims, CAIR, are going to push the envelope towards the Quran.
Yup! Actually, Muslims appear unable to coexist with anyone other than Muslims. Just look at what’s happened to every Middle East nation over the past century or so. All non Muslims are ultimately driven out of the countries.
Close, but not quite entirely accurate. Sunnis and shias hate each other and have been enthusiastically dispatching each other since abu bakr and ali each claimed successorship from mohammad. Of course, their motto is, "Me and my brother against my cousin; me, my brother and my cousin against the stranger," so unless you are a sunni or shia, you are fair game for both.
If New Yorkers want to witness what will happen to their beloved city under a Zohran Mamdani dictatorship they need to visit once-great Toronto, a city the late Peter Ustinov called "New York city governed by the Swiss." Comedian Ben Bankas joked that the city had so many people living in tents that it looked like a native American encampment.
Israel sold the Muslim Azeris the drones which enabled them to defeat Christian Armenia recently. Same thing happened in Spain long ago. During the Reconquista, the Crusaders knew they were fighting both the Muslims and the Jews.
The jizya is no longer imposed by any modern nation-state in the Islamic world, as contemporary legal frameworks are based on modern notions of citizenship, not religious status. All citizens of Iran, regardless of their religious affiliation (including Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians, who are recognized religious minorities), are subject to the national tax system and universal conscription laws, just like Muslim citizens.
And.....look at what Obama's plan to bring in enough "refugees" to swing MN solid blue has done.. The Somalians really came thru for him but I think the children and grandchildren of the Dem/Marxists still living in MN are going to rue the day that their parents and grandparents followed the plan of our first muslim Prez.
I debated whether to respond since I do not have the time to continue such an important conversation. Our Country & the Western World in general are in the process of being assimilated. And pardon the cliché but 'Resistance is Futile'. Europe is further along the path than we here in the States but the evidence is clear as to the outcome, welcome to 1984 As a 70 yo boomer unfortunately this is not golden age we imagined and hoped to create as we moved into the 21st century. Instead, we have arrived in a place foreign to our moral grounding and infested with vile creatures whom we find nearly unrecognizable as fellow citizens. The root of this problem a major disconnect with our Creator and reality. To my thinking Christianity and Islam are like oil & water, both pretend to be religions of peace but their history suggest otherwise. Their similarity is that both revere a false god, who was actually a messenger, but that misguidance created a chasm between humanity and the Creator. And if I dare to include Judaism as well, many have strayed in that sect too and engaged in it's most primitive forms of occultism. I don't not see a clean resolution to this condition. I am not a member of any institutional "religion", I prefer to keep my relationship with the Creator pretty basic and personal. As for our final outcome all we have to do is look at what happened with the Native Americans; annihilation, genocide and effectively slavery on Reservations. Best we can do is keep a low profile and hope the storm passes us by, but we're all in this situation whether we want to be or not. Sorry for excessively long screed...Good luck to you all! And I should add, be genuinely thankful this Thanksgiving for all the positive moments you have shared with family & friends while hurtling though space on this rock we call Earth. I hope everyone has enjoyed the ride.
Yeah, specially if it is a six shooter (as most of them are, E.) Down to stems and seeds to quote Commander Cody. Hey, what do you think of Oakland, which appears to have hit rock bottom?
May I suggest also that people read British conservative newsletters, like The Conservative Woman, to get the play by play on how Islamization proceeds under the protection of the government, while dissent is criminalized and the police and courts enforce a two-tier justice system in favor of illegal immigrants against the native-born citizens. It's a good idea to see how it progressed somewhere else as it begins here.
Dateline Toronto: last night a snowplow doing a dry run in front of the American consulate was attacked by an angry mob of Palestinian protesters after disobeying her instructions to get out of her way. The angry mob refused to get out of her way and tried to damage her Kubota tractor. The female snowplow operator gave the angry mob the middle finger. Police are investigating. In an unrelated story the Toronto Sun did a poll asking its readers to vote yes if the rules in Toronto only apply to law-abiding taxpayers and not the law breakers. Over 95% voted Yes.
Also, as Kurt Schlichter (thanks to JHK for noting him) has pointed out, the blue states are net importers of food and energy. All the red states have to do is squeeze their supply; guns may not even be used, much.
Mark Kelly is a retired Navy Captain. As such he is still subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
It's been a minute since I read the UCMJ, but I'm fairly certain there's something in there about suborning mutiny. If DJT wanted, Kelly could be recalled to active duty to face a court-martial. Odds are he doesn't, but the option is there.
Oh yeah? Judge Andrew Napolitano seemed very, very confident yesterday that the video was, in fact, First Amendment-protected free speech, political free speech and that it was, additionally, legally accurate.
-----
You have heard of Nuremberg, right? At Nuremberg, "I was just following orders" was dismissed as not being a valid defence for war crimes. Ergo, refusing to commit war crimes when ordered to do so became a legal mandate of all military personnel on earth.
Note that I said Kelly is subject to the UCMJ. I don't care what Napolitano said; 1A rights in the military are restricted.
I also note that military members know what an illegal order is. They are very obvious: "Shoot that prisoner." "Kill that civilian over there." Etc.
Disagreeing with an order does not make it illegal. Thinking that the order doesn't make sense doesn't make the order illegal. Military members are taught that an order is presumed legal unless it's *clearly* illegal, such as those I noted above. And operations, deployments, and so forth are vetted by JAG up and down the Chain of Command.
"Note that I said Kelly is subject to the UCMJ. I don't care what Napolitano said; 1A rights in the military are restricted." Yes ... and the fact that its was obviously free speech and legally accurate would undoubtedly foil any attempts at convicting him for it.
-----
"I also note that military members know what an illegal order is. They are very obvious: 'Shoot that prisoner.' 'Kill that civilian over there.' Etc." Adding: "or 'Kill all those non-combatants on the high seas in international waters by bombing threir boat to Smithereens."
-----
"Disagreeing with an order does not make it illegal. Thinking that the order doesn't make sense doesn't make the order illegal." Of course. What a strange strawmen.
-----
Murdering non-combatants on the high seas in international waters is a war crime, Dan. Those are illegal orders. Thus, the video.
Is murdering dozens of innocent civilians by drone strike at weddings in the Middle East also considered a war crime? If so, we have even bigger problems. But maybe war crimes do not apply to Obama.
You sure that's what's been going on? You are privy to all the JAG reviews, debates in the Administration, and so forth? Or are are you saying that's prima facie illegal?
Did you see one of the Congressmen in the video tell a reporter that Venezuela (source of most of those boats according to the Administration) was *not* what prompted the video (though he did say something like "Let's talk about that")?
As for the "strange strawman" snark, that is what recruits are taught in Boot. The exact wording may be different now than when I was in, but again, that's what the recruits are told.
We don't need to be on the inside, Dan. Murdering non-combatants in an undeclared war on the high seas in international waters is a de facto war crime. No more information is required.
-----
I did not see the Congressman say that ... but ... zippy-doo-dah. That hardly affects what I'm saying. That hardly affects what Judge Andrew Napolitano is saying.
-----
It was a strawman as that's not what I was arguing about. "Disagreeing with an order does not make it illegal. Thinking that the order doesn't make sense doesn't make the order illegal." Of course.
I was arguing about orders that are illegal - like murdering non-combatants on the high seas in international waters.
What if it is a 100% certainty that the boats on the high seas are bringing drugs and contraband into America. I have no problem with it. Criminals gonna criminal. Put a stop to it.
What illegal orders has Trump issued? Enforce existing immigration law? Intercept small craft smuggling narcotics into the USA? 125,000 people per year are dying from fentanyl ODs -- mostly young people -- and Trump is the first President trying to do something to deal with it.
Venezuela is not a narco-state, Marlin. Venezuela is not even a player at the narco-cartel level. Venezuela does, however, have the most proven oil reserves on earth.
You put a noble face on your evil imperialism. Shame on you.
Although some Dems are introducing legislation to specifically forbid Trump's actions against the Venezuelan boats, I think it more likely the video about illegal orders was addressed to federal troops or federalized National Guard deployed U.S. cities to protect ICE personnel and facilities.
Remember the BLM summer of George Floyd, when various Federal buildings (courthouses, ICE facilities) with sparse defending personnel, were attacked night after night by a dedicated band (wonder which dark-money NGO was paying their salaries) in Pacific Northwest states? Lasers blinded some of the defenders? This current deployment by Trump is his refusal, I think, to let that happen again.
Similarly, the eruptions of urban looting and vandalism that summer should, IMO, have been put down by State goverments but wasn't. I think Trump is sending in Federal troops to lawless urban areas now to restore rule of law for ordinary citizens. It is to these troops, I think, that the Dems are talking.
Other commenters have warned that a color revolution is being attempted in this country, either by foreign adversaries or our own deep state. Trump may be making a show of force with troops in part to head this off. And those 3 Dems are attempting to thwart him. Take note of them.
I'm less convinced. The murder of non-combatants in international waters are war crimes and, without a doubt, illegal orders.
Regardless of Trump bulldozing Posse Comitatus domestically, you are either a country of law or you are a rogue nation. A or B. You cannot be both.

Here is a way to quickly get up-to-speed vis-a-vis Trump's war crimes in blatant pursuit of regime-change/conquest of the earth's #1 nation in proven oil reserves:
If you want to know what real life is like while working in the DEA for 28 years (and how much of a total bull-shit story these war crimes off the coast of Venezuela really are), you must watch this recent episode of 'Judging Freedom'.
In real life, Venezuela is not a narco-state. In real life, Venezuela is not even a cartel-level player. In real life, however, Venezuela has the earth's most proven oil reserves.
Why must you Lil Trumpster be the 10 year-old kid still faking your belief in Santa Claus? You are an imperialist empire but you refuse to say it ... or even think it. Grow up, already. Face the truth. You are an imperialist empire. Plain & simple.
Sheriff David Hathaway: So off the coast of southern Florida and in the territorial waters of the Bahamas and the Turks & Caicos, DEA cooperatively works with those foreign governments to prosecute individuals that are in the territorial waters of either the Bahamas or the US. Typically what will happen there's a US coast guard cutter and DEA agents involved and if a vessel is seen coming to the United States they don't just stop everybody willy-nilly. There has to be probable cause either a human source or overhead imaging show imaging showing the vessel being loaded or other electronic devices like a tracker where they're fairly certain that these vessels are holding drugs. Now what they'll do, they'll go on a Coast Guard cutter and sometimes in a helicopter and order these vessels to stop and prepare to be boarded. They typically will stop. If they don't, there have been occasions where they will fire one round or a short burst from either a 50 caliber belt-fed heavy machine gun, an M2 machine gun, or a 20mm cannon from a Coast Guard cutter into the water. That will typically stop them. There have been a few instances where the vessels would not stop and then the coast guard cutter, you know, with working with DEA who has the authority to enforce the Controlled Substances Act would fire one round into the engine, sometimes a short burst of 50 caliber machine gun fire or 20 millimeter cannon fire into the engine only for the purpose of disabling the vessel. Now, I don't think that's ever been adjudicated by the courts, whether that's proper proper because you are using lethal force, but you're not trying to hurt anybody. But this is directly the opposite of what Trump is doing in international waters. This is not in Venezuelan waters. They are directly using lethal force with the intent to kill people and the attempt in the intent to destroy property to destroy vessels.
Yeah, right.. The USA isnt permitted to defend it's people or its borders because of the nebulous concept of 'Imperialism'. Just open the borders, let the narcotics and the illegal 3rd World aliens flow in unimpeded because Britain, Spain, France, Portugal and the Netherlands established real commercial 'Empires' during the Age of Discovery.'
Uhhh ... these blatant war-crime murders were committed on non-combatants on the high seas in international waters. Of course you are "permitted" to guard your own borders. What a bizarre strawman argument as you support war crimes in your name.
-----
The USA has WAY more military bases/power around the globe did any of your other examples of empires throughout the Age of Discovery.

In just ten months, Trump has existentially threatened Greenland, Canada, Cuba, Panama, Columbia, Venezuela, Nigeria and Iran. It, of course, is no coincidence that, in global proven oil reserves, Venezuela is #1, Iran is #3, Canada is #5 and Nigeria is #11.

FYI - Venezuela, in the real world, is the source of approximately 0% of your mountains of consumed illegal drugs.

Outstanding article! And the photos are perfect. My favorite photo is Rachael Maddow sitting next to Dr. Fauci. And Mike Pence with his permanent scowl. OMG..it was A Monster's Ball.
Fauci was buddies with all of them. Trump should have sniffed him out from Day 1. Nothing is going to happen to Anthony Fauci ... and if nothing happens to him, nothing is going to happen to any conspirator who engaged in "crimes against humanity."

Muslims storming synagogues in N.Y. city. I wonder what Jews would have done if they had guns when they tried that in Germany. Remember there are 450 million firearms in America
That was reported yesterday in the NYPost. I didnt think I'd ever see something like that in my lifetime, especially in NYC. American Jews were tough street fighters in New York & Boston in the early part of the 20th century -- see the book 'Machine Gun Winter'. Maybe they'll have to gain some of that back.
Fascinating that the party yammering about kings & Hitlers & fascism now demands an overthrow of the civilian control of the military.
They’ve violated their oath, serving & retired military on that video have violated the UCMJ, and proven the statement by Michael Walsh that the “Democrats are a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.”
Kelley(Douchebag AZ) - unfortunately one of my senators - has violated his oath of office. Any serious legislative body would expel him immediately. Any serious War Department would strip him of rank, terminate all retiree benefits and cut off his pension.
Mike Pence sure showed his colors as did W and McConnell and many other RINOs. I must say that Pence sure did hide his real colors for most of Trump's first administration and whomever put him in place sure got their money's worth on January 6th and after from him. And......he purports to be a good Christian. You shall know them by their good deeds---- (or their vile deeds) -too bad he did not have to show his colors until Jan 6th and Trump could have put someone else as VP when he ran in 2020.
I also think that Jeff Sessions was a similar plant. I keep wondering during 2017 and after-----why is Sessions not doing anything to move the agenda along ?
Luckily we have gotten rid of many RINOs since 2020 but.....we still have way too many.
Call me cynical, but this post seems naive. My prediction is that, if anyone goes to jail, it will be a patsy or two and none of the main players. It's a shadow show and the power of the 'blob' is too stable for Trump or anyone else to dislodge. It will need to collapse of its own... which it will almost certainly do. That said, I enjoy the rah rah bluster and will be most pleasantly shocked if any real justice is served. Keep 'em coming!
I agree. Looks who’s lost the most with the Epstein release- Larry Summer, the shlub for - of all things having a relationship with an adult woman. News flash, two adults having relations is not pedophilia, and not illegal, but has served to deflect attention wonderfully from the actual pedophiles.
Not cynical, realistic. It almost seems like Jimmy has been tasked with maintenance of the left / right dichotomy myth. Sweet gig, not too strenuous to keep that one going.
Don’t you wish you’d been a fly-on-the-wall at the funeral, and whatever after-party they were all at? One would most definitely need the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-17) to go anywhere near that group of Satanic vipers! Kind of makes you wish God has chosen that moment to unleash his overwhelming (Old Testament) judgment on that bunch.
God doesn't care. He gave up on humanity after humanity stopped listening to him a long time ago and is now off playing golf with his buddies. We are on our own.
Apathy is going to kill us. We have got to deal with the deep state we’re playing catch-up. I hope it’s not too late.
Apathy is what killed us. FIFY. It's already over, folks.
Since the beginning of time, every culture, every tribe, every civilization has had the same two choices every morning upon arising:
1) Defend your way of life, or 2) lose it.
I rest my case.
There is a third group, represented on the blog. A group of anti-Trump, socialist leaning group that believe that the answers to social ills lie in government. History calls them fools. They probably read JHK and said to themselves, WTF, these attendees are wonderful.
FWIW when I started working in 1970 the government took more than the value of an ounce of gold from my paycheck every month. Now my SS doesn’t amount to an ounce of gold so I would have to live to 120 to recover what was stolen from me. I don’t depend on SS now (thank the lord), but if I did I would be even more pissed off. I worked as a self employed driver so my SS was double what employees of a company personally pay (the other have is paid by the employer). SS was/is just another tax scam by an unaccountable government who can’t resist endless wars to kill people around the world and make the MIC rich.
If only every dollar that was withheld from your paycheck bought and stored $1 worth of gold.... or $1 worth of equity in Vanguard's TSM fund.
JAZ - they are the implied, against whom we defend our way of life or lose it to them. As Elysianfield is famous for saying, it's for the children, but in this case, I jest not.
It is for the children. Yup, as the Deep State knows, as they stupidify the new generations about the goodness of the USA and indoctrinate them about the evil country they live in.
It's been 20 years since JHK published The Long Emergency and boomers went bonkers.
Boomers went bonkers? Or the world around them. To this Boomer, this country is out of its mind.
Our money is supporting immigrants. We didn't have enough of them. And Trump says we still don't. We don't have enough Blacks, Muslims, Chinks, and Pajeets.
Bring in them Afrikaners.

Bullshit, Buck, I paid into the retirement bucket for fifty years and have received benefits for 14. SSA and Medicare are NOT entitlements, they are retirement plans. It is not my fault that the government effed them up too.
SSA and Medicare are not retirement plans. They are what people get who don't plan. If someone lives exclusively on those plans for very long at all, the amount they get out of those buckets far exceeds what was put in even factoring in interest. SSA and Medicare are incentives for people to make bad choices. Yes, they are a good safety net for those with low IQ or disability who cannot earn much and don't have a family to support them but the life-long wage earner who decided not to save and/or build relationships and plan when they were young cannot expect everyone else who did do so to pick up the check for them. Sorry, but life is not fair and facts don't care about feelings.
Neither do I care about your feelings. Everyone can't (for whatever reasons) save enough to retire comfortably, even after working very hard all of their life. I don't have a low IQ or disability and my only income other than SSI is roughly $6400 yearly in dividends on some stocks. I am living quite comfortably on my small income as my home was paid for decades before and I live in a small Southern community with a low cost of living. My biggest financial problem is due to our rampant inflation and the biggest issue with that is the corresponding increase in my property taxes. But still I'm doing ok and enjoying life. Money isn't everything. One day you may forced into some humility.
SSA and Medicare ARE retirement plans, involuntary, set up to force people to save something for their old age. With our age profile right now, if SSA and Medicare did not exist, this country would be a third world country.
You ARE right though, they were designed as Social Security for folks unwilling or unable to save for retirement.
Entitlements do not have a tax base to pay for payments. Theoretically, SSA does. A trust fund. That our government spent to zero. Entitlements are illegal Medicaid, child care payments, UBI, etc., not supported by a plan.
Also, all retirement plans pay out more than they take in, because of inflation and economic growth. SSA is no different.
Very few if any productive people get out of Social Security even close to what they paid into it (invested at interest). That’s why before Trump every Republican worth his salt was publishing some scheme to “privatize” Social Security, so that peoples’ old age pensions wouldn’t be such an earnings suck. You’re damn right I collect my Social Security check every month. I’ve been supporting old farts like myself in retirement for the last 45 years out of my meagre earnings.
After having provided the government with almost half a million dollars, based on a 4% annual rate of return, and my employers having contributed almost that much on my behalf, it is likely that I will die while the government still has most of those accumulated/compounded/confiscated funds. I'm "entitled" to every nickel I can claw back from those racketeers.
That’s a bit of a slam against people who didn’t plan for their ‘retirement’ for whatever reason. Some people are not ‘planners’…they may have grown up in hand to mouth homes, with not a lot of extra funds to plan for retirement, then they grew up and ended up in the same boat. Your comment feels rather paternalistic and condescending.
You don't have to accept the money. When you're old enough to receive SS you can always not claim it.
My favorite is when I watch Baby Boomers who retire only on social security payments sell their homes and go build bigger homes they don't need and then bitch and complain that they don't have enough social security to live on.
People who are in debt should not be permitted to retire with social security IMO. If you have a mortgage or if you get a new mortgage when you are 67 you keep working or you sell the property and get out of the mortgage.
SSA was originally intended, when it was created, to be an end of life safety net. Keep in mind that when it started the average lifespan of the average American was nowhere near what it is today. Social Security has become a retirement plan for many because too many Americans can't manage their money well enough to save for retirement. Instead they buy big fancy homes they don't need, fancy cars they don't need and spend all their excess money on trips to Disneyland, expensive I-phones and cable TV. I agree with Ruth Gordon.
I'm 51 and I've paid into SS since I was 17. I don't expect I'll ever see a dime of SS by the time I reach retirement age. Now that is a kick in the balls.
What about folks like me who foolishly let Merril Lynch look after our retirement savings. The experts I was told. Dennis, you just have to trust the American System.
My wife and I lost ~$500,000 in 2008. Literally wiping out our savings. Thanks Merrill Lynch. I was 65....impossible to recoup that money.
If it were not for SS we would be destitute.
CP have you not notice what has happened to the value of the dollar since the 70's??Look at what the hell is going on today Choice Ribeye 22.99lb just 8 years ago was 12.99/14.99lb.We the people have been robbed and screwed without lube for decades.We are slaves to a corrupt system and you want to blame people for not being able to safe two pennies ....WTF!I am so frigg'in ready for this POS system to just collapse and the writing is on the wall and those 401Ks....?I still have a little but about two years in Fiden term I started going medals.When the SHTF guns/ammo will become the new gold standard which I have ...........?along with my medal not in no damn bank.
Social Security will still be around when you’re 65, bet on it.
How to account for ‘managing next to no extra’ money when one doesn’t have any extra ? When one lives a hand to mouth existence. Especially nowadays when the cost of living everywhere is crazy compared to the money coming in. The money one makes doesn’t cover much if one is not a “high paid professional”. And not everyone wants to be nor can they be a doctor, lawyer, or tech wizard!
No, actually SSA was started to get old people out of the job market so that younger people could get jobs. It gave a sustenance wage to the oldsters in the 30s.
Totally agree that the current Joe Average depends on SSA for his retirement savings. We tend to spend to our wage limits and do not think about the future. Before SSA, these people starved or lived with family, multi-generationally.
You will see social security payments, but after 2034, they may be reduced as the subsidy from the trust fund will be gone. One taxpayer per recipient.
The Dems are again playing fear factor with SSA like Covid. I am anticipating the change in my plans.
I see more people with six figure and more in income who fit that description with fancy cars they don't need, Iphones, cable etc. and I see a lot of them eventually destitute because they bit off more financially than they could chew. The secret is to live within your means but most can't seem to do that.
What about your irrational demand to "print" world reserve currency AND (impossibly) not run a trade deficit, you "Gimme"?

It would have been way easier to remain true to the American way of life and concepts this country was founded upon, than to fix it once it was so corrupted.
Democracy is probably not capable of returning this country to where it was decades ago.
Of course it is not possible to return the USA to where it was decades ago. The USA has been looted over these last five decades and it is now bankrupt.
$31 trillion in bankruptcy. And counting. The money is gone. There is no money. Zero. Zip. Nada. The USA has lived well beyond its means for far too long. The only answer now is to default on the debt and start over and that won't happen. The PTB will print their way out of it and suck all our savings dry.
$38T ... and it's not "gone." Larry Fink et al. have it now.
You are probably right about a coming default and big problems with it, but the truth is that these days money isn't real, just 1's and 0's on a screen. Money is a figment of mans imagination, just a way to keep things under control. yawn, I need a nap.
So true. However, a debt jubilee is coming one way or another. Governments and citizens are so far in debt that they cannot pay back the amount owed. It will happen. Eventually, something is going to break. I hope that by then a debt jubilee will happen and all debt will be eliminated. There really is no other way.
And you are right, all of the money I saved is nothing more than pixels on a computer screen. It could all be wiped out in a split second.
I don’t know how you divide it up, but national divorce may be the only answer
Civil War 2.0
Civil War 2.0 would necessitate a Civil War 1.0
Get your dad to explain 1.0 to you.
Yeah, only Capitalism can do that! We need to man up, become coolies, and out work and breed those incoming savages. That means our women have to have lots of babies on coolie wages.
Yes, Ron it is over. When our ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, invites a person who spied on this country, stole secrets and was imprisoned rather than executed, and now lives freely in the criminal state of Israel. Think about this, a convicted spy lobbying an American ambassador from inside the embassy he once betrayed, and the White House didn’t even know it happened. How fucked up is that!
Gee, that sounds like you’re describing some of our Democrat Senators and Congress critters.
Democrat Senators, of course. Congress, of course.......President, of course. Betrayal.
Sorry, I got disconnected in that conversation. We’re having the same problem with our politicians as the Mexicans are having with the drug cartels.
Is it even possible to purge this many captured "leaders"? I don't think it is.
The truth hurts

In the mid 1970s, I was a young (14 year old) teenaged girl. I saw a bumper sticker that read, “Who cares about apathy, anyway?”. It made me suddenly feel quite sad. A forbidding sadness. I had no idea why, but it's clearly stuck with me the rest of my life.
Well, you gotta have Something you believe in. Like this one bumper sticker I saw it said. “ Nuke the gay whales for Jesus “.

"The angels of justice are coming for them and they know it, despite the machinations of their allied judges to gum up every earnest Article II effort attempted since 1/20/25 to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."
But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, Shall go into the lower parts of the earth. They shall fall by the sword: They shall be a portion for foxes. But the king shall rejoice in God; Every one that sweareth by him shall glory: But the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
I hope I live long enough to see it but......I am afraid that the evil ones are getting away with everything. A judge blocks the attempt at gerrymandering in Texas but.......no judge anywhere says anything about the whole east coast gerrymandering to where Rs have zero Representatives but typically get 40+ % of the votes all thru the New England area and would probably get more if voter fraud was not so rampant.
Identified once again, the Northeast states are the playbook for gerrymandering.
At the state level,, the collusion between the 3 branches creates tyranny. The judiciary acts as sole arbiter, oppressively enabling the legislative and executive branches in turn, as warned in Federalist 47 when addressing the structure of the new government.
Don't leave out hellhole Illinois.☠️ They've gerrymandered Republicans to extinction level. "We" did first.🤣
I'm hearing that Kash Patel and the gang are getting very close to releasing the Kracken on the J6 fedsurrectionists. Stay tuned.
You haven't noticed that about 90% of these BS judges get overturn that one POS got overturned yesterday about the Riot Act by the SC.
Mr. Kevin----I have noticed that most of the POS judges do get overturned but .......they gum up the works for a period of time and this is exactly what the POS wants. If John Roberts was not such a pussy he would instruct the SC judge who goes back to the POS tells them in no uncertain terms that this bull shiff needs to stop and if it does not, he will personally suggest they be impeached. But Roberts is not going to do this because he is a POS as well. He is the only reason we got stuck with ObamaCare and I think someone has pics of him with a goat or he would not twist everything to give the Dem/Marxists half or most of what they want. Was he nominated by W ? I will never, ever vote for anyone named Bush, even if they are not related to W and his clan. I just saw an article the other day that the Bushs are getting together to try to take the Republican party back after Trump leaves office. Jeb is still probably pissed that Trump called Jeb out for the RINO he is.
Gotcha we are both on the same page Ron and I mean 100%!I am ready for a steamroller to be deployed and some decoration of some DC lamppost.
I don't think there's any surety to the fact that these people will be punished (on this earth).
They have all of them gotten away with their evil.
Yes, anyone who claims this is not a lawless country, is mistaken. Evil flaunts it's freedom, with impunity - very hard to watch.
Lawless for leaders, politicians and celebrities
And certain socio-ethnic groups.
Right out in the open.
It took a while, but they captured every important "truth-seeking" organization and institution in the world. I don't know how you expose - and then purge - so many key leaders in so many organizations if the organizations that are supposed to do this job are all captured.
I don't think "Substack Contrarians" are going to be able to do this. The "watchdog" Fourth Estate is comprised of maybe 40,000 editors and "journalists" - all 40,000 know the stories they can write and, more importantly, the stories they can't write.
We have our work cut out for us.
"I don't know how you expose - and then purge - so many key leaders in so many organizations if the organizations that are supposed to do this job are all captured."

Imagine being at that funeral? Eeeks! It gives me chills just thinking about being in a room with that many monsters.
I’ve felt physically ill in the presence of evil before. And that was ONE person. Unimaginable what a room full of them would feel like.
I made a comment to similar to this. I was once in a legislative session at the state capitol surrounded by wheeling and dealing politicians. I left the Capitol that day thinking I need to go talk to my priest and confess. I have never felt so dirty as I did in that room with those politicians.
I ran for office as VT state representative in 2020. I only got the most fleeting impression of what life as a politician might be like, but it was enough for me to say that I'd never run for anything ever again. The whole time I was campaigning and battling my opponents, it was so awful. I also didn't like myself in that role, always being in combat mode, always ready to defend and offend. I'm glad I didn't win the election. I DID get my name next to Donald Trump's and Kanye West's on the ballot, though. Still have that photo to this day. ;)
In a church, a supposedly holy place, to boot.

There were so many demons in that church quite frankly I am surprised that the room didn’t combust. 🔥
James I do so admire your optimism but I am confident that exactly zero deep state plotters will serve any time behind bars. That stinks, but the judicial rot has so permeated our "government" that leftist judges will slow and stymie all efforts to rightfully banish these people from our society. As Marvin the Martian once said "Delays! Delays! Nothing but delays!"
The anti-Trump, anti-Israel, anti-everything it seems, rot that is in the comments section of this blog is symbolic of the problem too.
Nice to see someone else addressing this very real micro echo chamber of insanity anti-Trump/Us and very boisterous anti Jew Israel chorus line of fools.
Absolutely!
FNA right!
I, too, have little faith that justice shall be done by men in this government, in this country, on this earth. But every assurance the traitors will see eternal justice before the Great White Throne of Judgment. Until then I pray that history forgets any of them were ever considered our countrymen.

👍👍 Nice post, JHK. It’s remarkably difficult to understand what the Dems hope to accomplish with their urging for military insurrection. Perhaps a second civil war for the US?? If so, they’ve conveniently forgotten that Republicans own the majority of around 400 million firearms in the US, unlike the Dems who are often confused as to which end of a gun to point toward the target.
Normal Americans will find the insurrectionist encouragement to be despicable, while the Dem crazies embrace the concept 🤷♂️🤷♂️ I can’t foresee a pleasant ending for the chapter of US history in which we currently find ourselves.
How about this? Muslims and Jews/Christians cannot co-exist. Every Muslim that immigrates into the country is a threat to the Constitution, preferring Sharia law. Places like Dearborn, Michigan, 45% Muslim, are going to show how much the Muslims, CAIR, are going to push the envelope towards the Quran.
Yup! Actually, Muslims appear unable to coexist with anyone other than Muslims. Just look at what’s happened to every Middle East nation over the past century or so. All non Muslims are ultimately driven out of the countries.
Close, but not quite entirely accurate. Sunnis and shias hate each other and have been enthusiastically dispatching each other since abu bakr and ali each claimed successorship from mohammad. Of course, their motto is, "Me and my brother against my cousin; me, my brother and my cousin against the stranger," so unless you are a sunni or shia, you are fair game for both.
Fair point, but that simply shows their intolerance and hate is not limited to non Muslims. They can hate other Muslims but always hate non Muslims.
They can’t even coexist with other Muslims. Look at the Sunni-Shia wars.
If New Yorkers want to witness what will happen to their beloved city under a Zohran Mamdani dictatorship they need to visit once-great Toronto, a city the late Peter Ustinov called "New York city governed by the Swiss." Comedian Ben Bankas joked that the city had so many people living in tents that it looked like a native American encampment.
And, the Muslims should be driven out of America. Post Haste.
Who is creating the pathway to our civilization. Think about it.
Hell, Muslims can't even co-exist with other Muslims. The Sunni Muslims are always at the Shia Muslims' throats and vice versa.
Israel sold the Muslim Azeris the drones which enabled them to defeat Christian Armenia recently. Same thing happened in Spain long ago. During the Reconquista, the Crusaders knew they were fighting both the Muslims and the Jews.
Actually, Iran has a small Jewish population. They are a protected minority. I believe they even have a representative.
Yes they pay the jizya tax roughly 30% however they have very little rights as Dhimmis in a Muslim country.
How do their rights compare to non-Jews in Israel?
Look up the term Dhimmi Bat Ye'or has a great write up on it.
This from Google:
The jizya is no longer imposed by any modern nation-state in the Islamic world, as contemporary legal frameworks are based on modern notions of citizenship, not religious status. All citizens of Iran, regardless of their religious affiliation (including Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians, who are recognized religious minorities), are subject to the national tax system and universal conscription laws, just like Muslim citizens.
100% true
And.....look at what Obama's plan to bring in enough "refugees" to swing MN solid blue has done.. The Somalians really came thru for him but I think the children and grandchildren of the Dem/Marxists still living in MN are going to rue the day that their parents and grandparents followed the plan of our first muslim Prez.
Minnesota is near complete in it's pursuit of most corrupt state in USA. You can thank the Somali Pirates and Kamala's running mate for that.
So what is going to happen to the country as this continues to metabolize across the country? My glass is half empty.
I debated whether to respond since I do not have the time to continue such an important conversation. Our Country & the Western World in general are in the process of being assimilated. And pardon the cliché but 'Resistance is Futile'. Europe is further along the path than we here in the States but the evidence is clear as to the outcome, welcome to 1984 As a 70 yo boomer unfortunately this is not golden age we imagined and hoped to create as we moved into the 21st century. Instead, we have arrived in a place foreign to our moral grounding and infested with vile creatures whom we find nearly unrecognizable as fellow citizens. The root of this problem a major disconnect with our Creator and reality. To my thinking Christianity and Islam are like oil & water, both pretend to be religions of peace but their history suggest otherwise. Their similarity is that both revere a false god, who was actually a messenger, but that misguidance created a chasm between humanity and the Creator. And if I dare to include Judaism as well, many have strayed in that sect too and engaged in it's most primitive forms of occultism. I don't not see a clean resolution to this condition. I am not a member of any institutional "religion", I prefer to keep my relationship with the Creator pretty basic and personal. As for our final outcome all we have to do is look at what happened with the Native Americans; annihilation, genocide and effectively slavery on Reservations. Best we can do is keep a low profile and hope the storm passes us by, but we're all in this situation whether we want to be or not. Sorry for excessively long screed...Good luck to you all! And I should add, be genuinely thankful this Thanksgiving for all the positive moments you have shared with family & friends while hurtling though space on this rock we call Earth. I hope everyone has enjoyed the ride.
Your glass is half empty? Better your glass than your revolver.
Yeah, specially if it is a six shooter (as most of them are, E.) Down to stems and seeds to quote Commander Cody. Hey, what do you think of Oakland, which appears to have hit rock bottom?
Look at Europe it will give you a glimpse of what may take place.
Canada too.
May I suggest also that people read British conservative newsletters, like The Conservative Woman, to get the play by play on how Islamization proceeds under the protection of the government, while dissent is criminalized and the police and courts enforce a two-tier justice system in favor of illegal immigrants against the native-born citizens. It's a good idea to see how it progressed somewhere else as it begins here.
Dateline Toronto: last night a snowplow doing a dry run in front of the American consulate was attacked by an angry mob of Palestinian protesters after disobeying her instructions to get out of her way. The angry mob refused to get out of her way and tried to damage her Kubota tractor. The female snowplow operator gave the angry mob the middle finger. Police are investigating. In an unrelated story the Toronto Sun did a poll asking its readers to vote yes if the rules in Toronto only apply to law-abiding taxpayers and not the law breakers. Over 95% voted Yes.
Also, as Kurt Schlichter (thanks to JHK for noting him) has pointed out, the blue states are net importers of food and energy. All the red states have to do is squeeze their supply; guns may not even be used, much.
I don't know about that, victory in the inevitable second civil war being forced by the leftists on the rest of us will be something
Re that video:
Mark Kelly is a retired Navy Captain. As such he is still subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
It's been a minute since I read the UCMJ, but I'm fairly certain there's something in there about suborning mutiny. If DJT wanted, Kelly could be recalled to active duty to face a court-martial. Odds are he doesn't, but the option is there.
Oh yeah? Judge Andrew Napolitano seemed very, very confident yesterday that the video was, in fact, First Amendment-protected free speech, political free speech and that it was, additionally, legally accurate.
-----
You have heard of Nuremberg, right? At Nuremberg, "I was just following orders" was dismissed as not being a valid defence for war crimes. Ergo, refusing to commit war crimes when ordered to do so became a legal mandate of all military personnel on earth.
Note that I said Kelly is subject to the UCMJ. I don't care what Napolitano said; 1A rights in the military are restricted.
I also note that military members know what an illegal order is. They are very obvious: "Shoot that prisoner." "Kill that civilian over there." Etc.
Disagreeing with an order does not make it illegal. Thinking that the order doesn't make sense doesn't make the order illegal. Military members are taught that an order is presumed legal unless it's *clearly* illegal, such as those I noted above. And operations, deployments, and so forth are vetted by JAG up and down the Chain of Command.
"Note that I said Kelly is subject to the UCMJ. I don't care what Napolitano said; 1A rights in the military are restricted." Yes ... and the fact that its was obviously free speech and legally accurate would undoubtedly foil any attempts at convicting him for it.
-----
"I also note that military members know what an illegal order is. They are very obvious: 'Shoot that prisoner.' 'Kill that civilian over there.' Etc." Adding: "or 'Kill all those non-combatants on the high seas in international waters by bombing threir boat to Smithereens."
-----
"Disagreeing with an order does not make it illegal. Thinking that the order doesn't make sense doesn't make the order illegal." Of course. What a strange strawmen.
-----
Murdering non-combatants on the high seas in international waters is a war crime, Dan. Those are illegal orders. Thus, the video.
Is murdering dozens of innocent civilians by drone strike at weddings in the Middle East also considered a war crime? If so, we have even bigger problems. But maybe war crimes do not apply to Obama.
Absolutely they were war crimes! And, yes, you've big, big problems with your corrupt MIC.
You sure that's what's been going on? You are privy to all the JAG reviews, debates in the Administration, and so forth? Or are are you saying that's prima facie illegal?
Did you see one of the Congressmen in the video tell a reporter that Venezuela (source of most of those boats according to the Administration) was *not* what prompted the video (though he did say something like "Let's talk about that")?
As for the "strange strawman" snark, that is what recruits are taught in Boot. The exact wording may be different now than when I was in, but again, that's what the recruits are told.
We don't need to be on the inside, Dan. Murdering non-combatants in an undeclared war on the high seas in international waters is a de facto war crime. No more information is required.
-----
I did not see the Congressman say that ... but ... zippy-doo-dah. That hardly affects what I'm saying. That hardly affects what Judge Andrew Napolitano is saying.
-----
It was a strawman as that's not what I was arguing about. "Disagreeing with an order does not make it illegal. Thinking that the order doesn't make sense doesn't make the order illegal." Of course.
I was arguing about orders that are illegal - like murdering non-combatants on the high seas in international waters.
What if it is a 100% certainty that the boats on the high seas are bringing drugs and contraband into America. I have no problem with it. Criminals gonna criminal. Put a stop to it.
What illegal orders has Trump issued? Enforce existing immigration law? Intercept small craft smuggling narcotics into the USA? 125,000 people per year are dying from fentanyl ODs -- mostly young people -- and Trump is the first President trying to do something to deal with it.

Venezuela is not a narco-state, Marlin. Venezuela is not even a player at the narco-cartel level. Venezuela does, however, have the most proven oil reserves on earth.
You put a noble face on your evil imperialism. Shame on you.
Although some Dems are introducing legislation to specifically forbid Trump's actions against the Venezuelan boats, I think it more likely the video about illegal orders was addressed to federal troops or federalized National Guard deployed U.S. cities to protect ICE personnel and facilities.
Remember the BLM summer of George Floyd, when various Federal buildings (courthouses, ICE facilities) with sparse defending personnel, were attacked night after night by a dedicated band (wonder which dark-money NGO was paying their salaries) in Pacific Northwest states? Lasers blinded some of the defenders? This current deployment by Trump is his refusal, I think, to let that happen again.
Similarly, the eruptions of urban looting and vandalism that summer should, IMO, have been put down by State goverments but wasn't. I think Trump is sending in Federal troops to lawless urban areas now to restore rule of law for ordinary citizens. It is to these troops, I think, that the Dems are talking.
Other commenters have warned that a color revolution is being attempted in this country, either by foreign adversaries or our own deep state. Trump may be making a show of force with troops in part to head this off. And those 3 Dems are attempting to thwart him. Take note of them.
I'm less convinced. The murder of non-combatants in international waters are war crimes and, without a doubt, illegal orders.
Regardless of Trump bulldozing Posse Comitatus domestically, you are either a country of law or you are a rogue nation. A or B. You cannot be both.

Here is a way to quickly get up-to-speed vis-a-vis Trump's war crimes in blatant pursuit of regime-change/conquest of the earth's #1 nation in proven oil reserves:
If you want to know what real life is like while working in the DEA for 28 years (and how much of a total bull-shit story these war crimes off the coast of Venezuela really are), you must watch this recent episode of 'Judging Freedom'.

In real life, Venezuela is not a narco-state. In real life, Venezuela is not even a cartel-level player. In real life, however, Venezuela has the earth's most proven oil reserves.
Why must you Lil Trumpster be the 10 year-old kid still faking your belief in Santa Claus? You are an imperialist empire but you refuse to say it ... or even think it. Grow up, already. Face the truth. You are an imperialist empire. Plain & simple.

Sheriff David Hathaway: So off the coast of southern Florida and in the territorial waters of the Bahamas and the Turks & Caicos, DEA cooperatively works with those foreign governments to prosecute individuals that are in the territorial waters of either the Bahamas or the US. Typically what will happen there's a US coast guard cutter and DEA agents involved and if a vessel is seen coming to the United States they don't just stop everybody willy-nilly. There has to be probable cause either a human source or overhead imaging show imaging showing the vessel being loaded or other electronic devices like a tracker where they're fairly certain that these vessels are holding drugs. Now what they'll do, they'll go on a Coast Guard cutter and sometimes in a helicopter and order these vessels to stop and prepare to be boarded. They typically will stop. If they don't, there have been occasions where they will fire one round or a short burst from either a 50 caliber belt-fed heavy machine gun, an M2 machine gun, or a 20mm cannon from a Coast Guard cutter into the water. That will typically stop them. There have been a few instances where the vessels would not stop and then the coast guard cutter, you know, with working with DEA who has the authority to enforce the Controlled Substances Act would fire one round into the engine, sometimes a short burst of 50 caliber machine gun fire or 20 millimeter cannon fire into the engine only for the purpose of disabling the vessel. Now, I don't think that's ever been adjudicated by the courts, whether that's proper proper because you are using lethal force, but you're not trying to hurt anybody. But this is directly the opposite of what Trump is doing in international waters. This is not in Venezuelan waters. They are directly using lethal force with the intent to kill people and the attempt in the intent to destroy property to destroy vessels.
Yeah, right.. The USA isnt permitted to defend it's people or its borders because of the nebulous concept of 'Imperialism'. Just open the borders, let the narcotics and the illegal 3rd World aliens flow in unimpeded because Britain, Spain, France, Portugal and the Netherlands established real commercial 'Empires' during the Age of Discovery.'
Uhhh ... these blatant war-crime murders were committed on non-combatants on the high seas in international waters. Of course you are "permitted" to guard your own borders. What a bizarre strawman argument as you support war crimes in your name.
-----
The USA has WAY more military bases/power around the globe did any of your other examples of empires throughout the Age of Discovery.

In just ten months, Trump has existentially threatened Greenland, Canada, Cuba, Panama, Columbia, Venezuela, Nigeria and Iran. It, of course, is no coincidence that, in global proven oil reserves, Venezuela is #1, Iran is #3, Canada is #5 and Nigeria is #11.
-----
FYI - Venezuela, in the real world, is the source of approximately 0% of your mountains of consumed illegal drugs.
So, a subliminal message that Trump is Hitler??
No. Just a blatant message that all war crimes are war crimes - even when they are committed by the U.S. of A.

You needn't search my posts for hidden meanings. I say what I mean and I mean what I say.
See the little vertical lines on the side of the comments? My comment wasn’t in response to any of yours
I do see those vertical lines and, according to them, your Trump/Hitler was a reply to my posting. ["You have heard of Nuremberg, right? At Nuremberg, "I was just following orders" was dismissed as not being a valid defence for war crimes. Ergo, refusing to commit war crimes when ordered to do so became a legal mandate of all military personnel on earth."]

Regardless, cheers!
Was the dear personal friend and oft employee of the Cheney family there…? The ex secret service director who had the sense to not place security atop sloping roofs? I will always believe Butler, PA was a Dick Cheney hunting accident.
Outstanding article! And the photos are perfect. My favorite photo is Rachael Maddow sitting next to Dr. Fauci. And Mike Pence with his permanent scowl. OMG..it was A Monster's Ball.
Fauci was buddies with all of them. Trump should have sniffed him out from Day 1. Nothing is going to happen to Anthony Fauci ... and if nothing happens to him, nothing is going to happen to any conspirator who engaged in "crimes against humanity."
Fauci is one of those who will be laughing on his death bed because he got away with it all.
The stench of evil in that place must have been overwhelming. The furnace of hell is waiting for them.
Don Surber: "Biden was there, too [at the Cheney funeral], whether he knew it or not. Voting for Kamala has its privileges."
--- "Gal Crash Dummy Unveiled" (headline, NY Post).
"WDC ... The Transportation Department rolled out the design for the ... advanced female crash-test dummy, aiming at improving safety standards" for female drivers.
The 2024 edition was Kamala Harris.
It is Sodom on Potomac - and their global communist friends in - agin all of us. Never forget that.
The commonality is crime, illicit trade, by which the Mobs are consolidating wealth and power.
Fauci must admire the Cheney death toll, hence his attendance.
Yet you would foist this evil corruption unto 40M+ Canadians, John? Nice guy.
Muslims storming synagogues in N.Y. city. I wonder what Jews would have done if they had guns when they tried that in Germany. Remember there are 450 million firearms in America
I believe the growing Muslim influence both in the general population and every political office is very, very underrated threat facing the U.S.A.
Look towards the EU for a glimpse of the future.
"There are none so blind as those who will not see"
Ditto.
That was reported yesterday in the NYPost. I didnt think I'd ever see something like that in my lifetime, especially in NYC. American Jews were tough street fighters in New York & Boston in the early part of the 20th century -- see the book 'Machine Gun Winter'. Maybe they'll have to gain some of that back.
Fascinating that the party yammering about kings & Hitlers & fascism now demands an overthrow of the civilian control of the military.
They’ve violated their oath, serving & retired military on that video have violated the UCMJ, and proven the statement by Michael Walsh that the “Democrats are a criminal organization masquerading as a political party.”
Kelley(Douchebag AZ) - unfortunately one of my senators - has violated his oath of office. Any serious legislative body would expel him immediately. Any serious War Department would strip him of rank, terminate all retiree benefits and cut off his pension.
How about recalling him to active status and court martial him for incitement to mutiny?
Ok. And if he’s not convicted …?
"The process is the punishment."
Hang him. Faster - better - cheaper. 😎👍🇺🇸
Mike Pence sure showed his colors as did W and McConnell and many other RINOs. I must say that Pence sure did hide his real colors for most of Trump's first administration and whomever put him in place sure got their money's worth on January 6th and after from him. And......he purports to be a good Christian. You shall know them by their good deeds---- (or their vile deeds) -too bad he did not have to show his colors until Jan 6th and Trump could have put someone else as VP when he ran in 2020.
I also think that Jeff Sessions was a similar plant. I keep wondering during 2017 and after-----why is Sessions not doing anything to move the agenda along ?
Luckily we have gotten rid of many RINOs since 2020 but.....we still have way too many.
Call me cynical, but this post seems naive. My prediction is that, if anyone goes to jail, it will be a patsy or two and none of the main players. It's a shadow show and the power of the 'blob' is too stable for Trump or anyone else to dislodge. It will need to collapse of its own... which it will almost certainly do. That said, I enjoy the rah rah bluster and will be most pleasantly shocked if any real justice is served. Keep 'em coming!
I agree. Looks who’s lost the most with the Epstein release- Larry Summer, the shlub for - of all things having a relationship with an adult woman. News flash, two adults having relations is not pedophilia, and not illegal, but has served to deflect attention wonderfully from the actual pedophiles.
Not cynical, realistic. It almost seems like Jimmy has been tasked with maintenance of the left / right dichotomy myth. Sweet gig, not too strenuous to keep that one going.
Slotkin is beholden to George Soros and represents him in the senate.
Almost half the Congress believes that Soros is a hero, IMHO.
Don’t you wish you’d been a fly-on-the-wall at the funeral, and whatever after-party they were all at? One would most definitely need the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-17) to go anywhere near that group of Satanic vipers! Kind of makes you wish God has chosen that moment to unleash his overwhelming (Old Testament) judgment on that bunch.
God doesn't care. He gave up on humanity after humanity stopped listening to him a long time ago and is now off playing golf with his buddies. We are on our own.
You're alluding to Dunnmanifestin?
