If I may add... Don't forget about Mary McCord who is the wife of Sheldon Snook, counsel to Chief Justice John Roberts. Roberts and Eisen spend weeks of time together traveling Europe...
McCord is the nexus of all of this.
Sodom on Potomac. Simply more proof that we have lived in a dark age since 11.23.1963 with only two bright spots: Ronaldus and Trump, both of whom were shot. Nixon too, who was deep-stated out of orifice.
The secret combinations are deep and they permeate almost every establishment in the USA from the Federals all the way down to the School Boards. It's all interconnected. It's too great to root out in the court systems.
There is a "hidden hand" pulling the strings, and it's buried much deeper than either of the parties that pass for "political" processes in the U.S. Sure, NGOs and Commies and Dems and Lefties are all busily working to bring down the Republic, but so are the stooges categorized on the other side of the battle, including the Repubs, RINOs, Righties and the current Regime.
The theater created keeps eyes off the Uber-Wealthy puppet masters, who intend to bring down the Republic and install a much more compliant, efficient and draconian system where the top 1% own and direct things, the next 2% are the useful idiot bureaucrats, and the remaining 97% are slaves - think Brave New World/1984.
That is until things break down to a more local level, then it becomes a mix of war bands, Mad Max and World Made by Hand.
Those über-wealthy puppetmasters are the Davos crowd, the globalists. We are about 4-5 years from being on a digital ID and living in a 15-min. city. Trump's folly in the ME is paving the way for energy lockdowns, which are already taking shape here in Europe, and which were part of the Davos and 2030 Agenda.
We are being led further down the garden path. It is no coincidence that the same people on the "right" who went along with Convid are also going along with the next stage of societal destruction.
The uber-wealthy puppet masters are the generational "old money." You know the kind. The Rothschilds, Morgans, Chases, Rockerfellers, Carnegies and others. These are the people that the billionaires like Bezos go to when they need a loan.
When I think of the puppet masters, they're the ones out of sight. We don't know who they are. The old money families are just higher up the chain of command than the newer tech bro genius public puppets. But I could be wrong - I'm way down the org chart, so what do I know?
Digital IDs are a big "next step". I'm not sure, but I think the timing of that may come after the "economic emergency" that's in the pipeline, and will be part of a digital currency to come to the rescue.
Regardless of the schedule of "the plan", I'm sure the next decade will be unreal. I'm still dumbfounded that after the Plandemic and how the globalists played 2/3 of the world's citizens with that psyop, that most are still falling for the old tricks. The political angst and Operation Epstein are irrelevant compared to the Digital Prison grid being rolled out....
The only nation on this planet to ever use a nuke against another nation is the USA. The "good guys." We'll never see a nuke in Washington because everyone else is too afraid to use one. They know that if they set a nuke off in the USA the USA will turn them to glass.
The Mullahs don't have nukes, JohnAZ. If they did don't you think they'd lob a few at Israel, their most hated enemy? Russian government has killed millions of their own citizens, they have never lobbed any nukes. China government has killed millions of its own people, they haven't lobbed any nukes at anyone. Your argument doesn't hold any water my friend.
The whole Watergate affair was a fraud and Nixon was setup and framed by his old buddy Poppy Bush (CIA). Nixon knew who offed JFK and he might have been close to spilling the bean on that story. He is lucky Poppy didn't slip something into his evening chamomile.
Gramsci, Chomsky and Eisen represent an evil deviancy that threatens western civilization. Overeducated, weak-minded, young skulls full of mush are defenseless to their onslaughts.
"Norm Eisen has been deeply involved in every attempt to undermine and disable Mr. Trump since 2016. ...His efforts failed.... [until he] commence[s] a new impeachment effort, in theory coinciding with the seating of a Democratic Party majority in both houses of Congress. His crowning achievement [will] be getting the morose ladies of CNN to finally a crack a smile."
A real question. The Left has found a single target to attack in Trump and that has facilitated their ability to stymie everything. What is happening to carry on the pro-USA activity once Trump is gone? Vance is on his way to California to try to continue to set the Left back on their heels with the gimme welfare fraud exposure. But really, what is going on post-Trump, to stop the takeover of the country by first the Deep State and the the USACP? THe "Olde GOP" is deserting the ship, showing their true colors.
The removal of Blondi is an encouraging development in the ongoing struggle for justice. She basically shielded the deep state players for the last year.
What is needed now is a pit bull AG who will start finally going after these usurpers. Blanche is certainly not that man and needs to be replaced ASAP.
It will help Trump immensely in the midterms if prosecutions will now commence for the MN fraud (Walz, Ellison, and Omar). Extra points for going after Gates and Fauci.
Trump is going to lose the Congress in the midterms. Reason? I paid $4.78 for a gallon of gasoline yesterday. What used to cost $2.38 a gallon a month ago now is double. Food prices are increasing because truck drivers are forking over $5.35 for a gallon of diesel fuel, which, by the way, is a by product of gasoline production. Trump's war in Iran is going to slow and wreck the economy.
Naw, the political make up of the Congress has already been set. The Republicans are out and will then be paid handsomely to play the vocal opposition to the Democrats as they spend 2027 and 2028 harassing and impeaching President Trump. This war in Iran is wildly UNPOPULAR with the people. As a supporter of Trump I am dismayed at his seemingly never ending penchant to destroy his political career and legacy.
I don’t see how removing the biggest threat to our existence can be as unpopular you say, so I disagree. If he gets out soon, without boots on the ground, he’s good, but there needs to be accountability here for the fraud. The teams in California are going to eliminate Newsom as a candidate, as they’re already seeing arrests. People get incensed about tax dollars being stolen, and connecting that with the end of foreign aid will be like a Marco/Vance grudge match. Most importantly, the election shenanigans must be halted, so Thune needs to go. And fast!
Are you serious? I'm 52 years old. I have never once in my life been threatened, harmed, harassed or otherwise molested by the nation or people of Iran. Period. In fact, the Iranian people I have met here in the USA have all spoken fluent english and had a love for the lives they were making in the USA. Can't say that for the Mexican and Venezuelan immigrants I have encountered.
Having lived in the USA for 52 years I cannot recall any terrorist event committed on US soil that was committed by Iran. If you have any that you can identify, I would like to know and I welcome being corrected. And don't tell me that the Iran had no right to bomb a US warship hanging around their beaches.
On the flip side, the USA has dozens of military bases in close proximity to Iran's borders. But that's okay. It's an American imperialism kind of thing, I wouldn't understand.
So the Iranians have a whacky government. Who doesn't? You can't sit there and tell me that the USA has a functional government.
You really need to understand who is truly the greatest threat to our existence. It isn't a poverty stricken, water starved, economically pathetic nation like Iran who doesn't even have nukes to lob at nearby Israel. No, the true enemy to our existence are all of the "friendly" immigrants from south of the border who have imbedded themselves in our cities and towns, voting in our elections, sucking us dry through welfare and free health care. They have a REAL impact on us and on our daily lives. Not Iran. Turn off Sean Hannity and Fox News and stop slurping down the war propaganda.
I agree with you on Thune. He is as bad as that rotting corpse known as McConnell and he is a Republican.
It's almost like he's been arrested on false charges, smeared endlessly, had an election stolen from him, his family attacked endlessly, and even had two assassination attempts and no longer gives a FF what you or others think.
The legacy, which is more like the necessary reckoning that the US and the world desperately needs, is outside your understanding.
I voted for Trump 3 times. But now I feel like a newlywed who got the ICK for their new spouse on the honeymoon. I can't even listen to his voice anymore.
I'm not giving up on conservatism. I just prefer leaders who can set their egos aside, roll up their sleeves, and get the job done. The bluster and braggadocio wears me out. It feels unbecoming to the leader of the free world and disrespectful the American people.
Wow! That is some article! Mary McCord and her husband are linked to every evil thing that has happened in DC in the past decade! There needs to be a public hanging!
Pam Blondie will go down in history as “Jeff Sessions 2.0”. Unfortunately the Statute of Limitations is running out on the window of time available to snare the snakes. Blondie did exactly what Sessions did: shoved a shiv in Trump’s back.
No mention of the Iran war today. Day 34 of the 4 day operation. There has been such great confidence that the US has annihilated Iran. For so long we have heard from the whitepillers (the ones that are taking Delusionol) that Iran's missile capacity is gone! The "blackpillers" are dismissed. Iran's missile capabilities are virtually wiped out.
Isn't it funny how US intelligence has now stated half of Iran's missile launching capabilities are still intact. Are we starting to think this was a folly yet or are we still in psychosis? Are we in anger or bargaining yet or are we still in denial?
I totally support our President Trump and MAGA all the way. Nevertheless I still have my fears and worries about this damn war /excursion/whatever they call it. So many moving parts- only a genius like Trump could make this a success. Let us pray on this Good Friday, for our own resurrection.
I saw a short clip with Catherine Fitts theorizing that this Iran “excursion” is tied into the planned digital prison and Iran was one of the last biggest remaining holdouts.
Nah, you don't understand how things work. In order for an asset to build up cred they have to say some good things and then mix in a bunch of BS. There are countless examples of this, Alex Jones being perhaps the best known example. It's called blackwashing, and I was and am skeptical of her.
Rearranging the global energy flows to suit the overlords. The theater is necessary to present the picture differently to different populations. All will comply; they aren't smart enough to see beyond.
Why destroy so much expensive infrastructure in the process? It won't be rebuilt - not necessary - with (planned) demand destruction. Simple Economics 101.
Wealth transfer and accumulation will continue its vertical trajectory. Think Georgia Guidestones - 500M global population. The equivalent of one thousand serfs serving each one of 5000 of the anointed. Not a bad average.
Here in Europe they are pushing EVs particularly hard now. Gas is now 2.35 a liter on average here in Germany.
EVs are of course meant to put people out of private vehicles and shift them to 15-min. cities, where they will then be locked in via digital ID and additional rules about what they can and cannot buy or do.
And all you have to do is turn off the power grid and you got them right where you want them. Total control over everyone and everything. They hate gasoline because gasoline is raw energy and provides some semblance of freedom to the people.
Perhaps, but I doubt it. The Iran "excursion" is all about money. The oil companies weren't making enough money so they tapped Trump to lob some missiles and 'voila' now we are paying over $4 for a gallon of gasoline. Money is rolling in for someone, somewhere, especially because the USA gets the vast majority of its crude from sources OTHER THAN the Middle East.
This isn't a war for oil companies. US oil majors operate around the globe. They don't want their oil plays in the ME to be destroyed. Gulf States have invested heavily in the US economy. Wrecking their economies threatens continued investment. The US is seen as an unreliable and foolish partner. This is about regional hegemony for Israel.
Because oil is a globally traded commodity so anything that happens elsewhere in the globe affects our prices here at home. It's an insidious system. Necessities like oil, food and housing should never have become investments that can be traded in cesspools like Wall Street. IMO.
Pretty much every product and service around the world is made possible at some level through oil and natural gas. All of our labor is embedded with oil and natural gas. The US is not energy independent. There are different grade of oil; the US imports a large amount of oil crude grades that are not present domestically.
Catherine Fitts may be a little over the top or .....on target....Promethean Action, on the other hand, says that this is about the destruction of the power of the City of London which they say is behind Iran and its government.
Why don't you check them out? It's free if you want. Both women have been in the business for a long time, it seems. I had heard about the control on geo events before but have not yet personally grasped how and what they do. I need a tutorial.
I voted for Trump and trust him and his instincts. Who I do not trust is some of the people in the military to, at a minimum, give the straight skinny to Trump. Putting aside closet Obama supporters and promoties, the military has a tendency to pretty up the package as it goes up the chain. Trump, on the other hand, likes to hear different opinions before forming his. He is the eternal optimist.
I admire President Trump's resolute persistence in the face of years' worth of lies and hostility from his enemies in Congress, the deep state, the media, and the public. Add to that whatever plots, maybe including assassination, they are brewing. The man has a spine.
But he is no genius, NY Nanny. While his domestic policies are a breath of fresh air in the asphyxiating corridors of DC, when it comes to foreign relations some perverse imp seems to take over his mind. Within three months of his second inauguration he has erased all substantial support from theoretically friendly European countries, shown himself to be under hypnotic control by Israel, and thanks to miscalculation placed the US in an appalling position in the Iran war that threatens to get completely out of hand.
At best -- at best! -- he will have to preside over the humiliating withdrawal of US armed forces and destroyed bases in the neighborhood of Iran. At worst he'll carry the weight of an economic and military disaster into the midterms and 2028.
Nah, President Trump and the US Military along with Israeli forces have this and I’m deeply grateful. The Iranian theocratic murder cult is finally getting what is needed. We will see 47 years of evil finally collapse thanks to our brave men and women. Know that the Iranian goal of jihad would continue with billions upon billions of petro dollars being used to expand their plans to destroy western civilization. We know this by their past actions, funding proxy global terrorism, consistent statements and actions of “Death to America”, assassin squads, attacks upon Israel and American interests, plans to dominate the entire Middle East oil region. Their end game of course is world domination at any cost to sit atop the world’s most evil death cult including use of the bomb. They must fall to the dust of time and a free Persian nation emerge.
It looks increasingly like he fooled most of his base, and only the neocons remain. He once claimed to be anti-neocon, which is hilarious in hindsight.
He definitely stepped in it with the attack on Iran. Or did he? That is exactly what the Davos crowd needs to push Agenda 2030 through.
Much depends on where you are getting your information, and the underlying bias that the news source has. The amount of weaponry that Iran built was purposeful and enormous. I only believe US intelligence sources if they are supported by Tulsi Gabbard. Otherwise, they are deep state operatives.
YOU NAILED IT when you wrote "much depends on where you are getting your information".
This is the problem with virtually every political discussion I have, especially with friends and relatives who are afflicted with TDS or other Liberal mental disorders.
I have one close relative who will not believe a word I say about CVD, alt health, TrUMP, Energy, etc. because she didn't hear it on Oprah or the View or from Rachel Maddow.
People who read James HK obviously do a lot of research- real research- but even so, many of us will not accept every statement as factual because it doesn't agree with our own research.
Like someone said: "Facts are stubborn things." "You are entitled to your own opinion but not your own Facts."
Check out the duration and casualty volume of US involved global conflicts post WWII and compare them to the current conflict with the Earth's #1 sponsor of terrorism. Panicans need to Trust In Trump.
99.9% of the people in the US have no idea what is going on in the background...they do not have all the dots to connect to get a full picture. Most people do not think evil so it is hard to consider the actual evil taking place. The answers to all questions remain "follow the money" and cui bono....There are evil string pullers out there that we still do not know about.
Curious.... Where was the "4 day operation" announced as 4 days? A citation outside of an esoteric podcast would be useful in trying to comprehend all that follows that "fact".
I'll assume this reply to me was actually a pile-on of MH's original post. It's amazing what people will parrot without thinking, let alone checking on its veracity. It wouldn't surprise me if MH came back with a link to his own comment!
Again, please read the thread. I asked for a source from MH after he wrote "No mention of the Iran war today. Day 34 of the 4 day operation." You keep asking me for the source as replies to asking MH for a source. If you want to challenge the "4 day operation" narrative, please ask for it via a reply to the guy that posted it. Not that hard.
None of the above. Trump is doing a great job you just don't understand the objective. The globalist imperial system is being destroyed and Iran is the latest move. BP was founded on Iranian oil and the City of London has controlled Iran the entire time. Check out Promethean updates on YT so you can get with the program
The so-called globalists want the old infrastructure destroyed,. The New Normal and Great Reset don't see people like you driving, flying, or owning anything.
Time will tell who is the clueless one. From where I'm sitting Trump is dismantling the globalists and doing a great job of it. He said as much at Davos "globalism is dead." Klaus and company want everyone owing nothing and being happy. They are being shown the door. Time to get on board for the big win.
"There does seem to be some hidden hand in Narrative Central issuing prescribed story-lines to the networks, and that hand seems to be tinged with malice for anything and anyone seeking to rescue our country from chaos, penury, psychosis, and jihad. It looks like the hidden hand wants the country to go down in flames, and will resort to any means necessary to get it done."
They're convinced they're the "good guys"--which allows them to commit the worst of crimes (see SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY). The NO KINGS "protests" and cries of "DICTATOR!" and "TYRANT!" have been in anticipation of forthcoming tribunals--well within the president's Constitutional powers, and supported by a majority of Americans. It's why we hired Trump.
"They're convinced they're the "good guys"--which allows them to commit the worst of crimes"
Interesting comment, RI. I think the USA convinces itself that it is the good guy as it wages war in foreign nations all over the globe. Nations that, for all intents and purposes, pose no immediate threat to the USA and are usually poverty stricken. "But Terrorism!" Naw, not buying it.
This, exactly. That Trump has been hypnotized to an evil cause is plain for all to see.
It is evil to commit genocide or be complicit with genocide. It is evil to commit war crimes by destroying civilian infrastructures. Period. The ends do not justify the means. Ever.
You anti-Trump people are laughably, profoundly and obdurately stupid. You are mentally ill with TDS. For forty-seven years Iran has been anti-Western civilization and anti- American. What part of “Death to America” don’t you understand? There is a war going on. The only downside for Americans are temporarily higher gasoline prices. Meanwhile, Trump is riding the world of a bad actor. What do you want, a nuke hitting NY or LA to “justify” a strike?
By the way, Iran has no nukes. If they did, don't you think they'd have lobbed a few of them at Israel, their most hated enemy, by now? Come on, you gotta stop slurping the Sean Hannity propaganda and start seeing things as they really are.
"For forty-seven years Iran has been anti-Western civilization and anti- American."
And why, Jeff Smith, are they so anti-western civilization and anti-America? Ever stop to think about this for a second? It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the nation of Iran is surrounded by numerous American military installations and bases? Or that America has been meddling in Iran's governmental affairs since the USA helped overthrow the Shah of Iran?
You war humpers out there amaze me. You think the USA's shit smells like peaches and cream. It's okay for us to have bases all over the world and to have nukes (the US is the only nation to actually use nukes by the way) and to bully other countries around, piss around in their elections through the CIA (see Ukraine). But if they don't like us or try to defend themselves, damnit, THEY HAVE NO RIGHT. But, but, but, "terrorism" the war humpers decry! They cause terrorism everywhere! So let's bomb them back to the stone age! Who gives a fuck about the millions of innocent civilians whose lives are devastated from the bombing. And yes, believe it or not, there are innocent Iranians in Iran who have nothing to do with any of this.
How many countries has Iran invaded? How many countries as the USA invaded? It's an American exceptionalism kind of thing, you wouldn't understand.
I'm not anti-Trump. I want Trump to succeed. I am anti-war in all of its forms. War serves only to enrich a few at the top and devastate the lives of all the rest. Most Iranian people are just regular folks like you and I who want to live out their lives in relative peace. The USA has no right to invade, attack, or destroy a sovereign nation. Period.
There is only one form of war where the moral high ground can be maintained and that is in defense of one's family, property and homes. Iran hasn't invaded anyone and I don't know of any terrorist events in the 50 states that were committed by the nation of Iran. As the aggressor in almost all of America's wars the USA has acted immorally and has committed much evil. All in the name of money. You can't justify a trillion dollar defense budget if there is no war to fight. So they find some hapless country like Iran to bully and claim "terrorism" as a cause to lob missiles into their nation, destroy their properties, kill their people and destroy their economy. But hey, they are at least targeting just military installations. Do they give any consideration to how their actions devastate the lives of the innocent civilians who now have to negotiate the devastation?
I hate war in all of its forms. Period.
Not to mention the cost. $39 trillion and counting........nobody cares. "We're in debt to ourselves" they will say, as if that is a harmless thing and we shouldn't care about it.
I believe the entire drama we have been living through in this country’s battle for survival comes down to We, the People.
What are we willing to sacrifice, our rights for safety, our common sense for lunacy, our own children’s and children’s children futures for a morsel of bread (or cheap gas) today?
If We, the People don’t think this country is worth fighting for based upon its Constitution then all bets are off.
We’re the ones who get to decide which way things will go, now and in the future.
If we’ve learned nothing from what lengths the Democrats are willing to go to subjugate us and trample upon our rights in just these last 10 years - forget the 50-100 years prior - then we deserve whatever we get.
Actually, there are enough of us, IMHO. The problem is that "progressives" yearn to tell people what to do/think whereas "conservatives" want to be left alone. When it comes to acting on those characteristics, the minority triumphs as the majority voice. And in a democracy, that's ultimately self-destructive.
You only need a few competent motivated individuals, and you only remove certain key individuals. It's pretty plain that nothing else will save the country, since more than half of our governing body is working towards its destruction.
Suzie, I really appreciate your post and your optimistic appraisal of the current situation we currently find ourselves in. But, we are so boned in this country. The ball was rolling more than a hundred years before we were born. Our parents and grand parents were born into it and we poor saps had no say on any of this. The only way out of this is a total and complete collapse of the current system, to get it completely out of the way.
Case in point, Donald Trump. I believe the President has desires to improve the conditions of the USA but everything he does is obstructed......everywhere.......by everyone. Just as Pnoldguy says in response to your text, "there just aren't enough of us." He's right. Critically thinking people are a rare breed in the USA right now. We flock to sites like CFN because we can hobnob with those of like mindedness but in reality most people are too busy downloading porn, watching the teevee, betting on professional sports, doing drugs or working 3 jobs just to pay the rent.
The only way out is for the system to implode on itself and I don't see that happening any time soon.
100% spot on. Regardless of what motivates Trump, nothing he does will change one iota of what's to come. Been spending all my spare time in the garden rather than contemplating the mid terms.
As a gardener, I get it. I do the same. I used to listen to conservative talk radio shows like Mark Levin until he became so pro-Israel that his show was always about Israel. So I turned the radio shows off, turned off the teevee except for a few guilty pleasures like the WWE. Everyone has an agenda or an angle and most of the time that agenda and angle is the accumulation of very large amounts of wealth. I won't contribute to it anymore.
"Critically thinking people are a rare breed in the USA right now. We flock to sites like CFN ..."
Hmmm. Have read the comments? Pretty sure this ain't the crowd that frequents https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ for direct sourcing of data in order to make their own decisions as opposed to sopping up and reposting rage-bait.
"The only way out is for the system to implode on itself and I don't see that happening any time soon."
It may not take that much for an implosion to occur. Just look at the amount of damage the Biden crew did to this country in less than 4 years. Depending on the midterms, it wouldn't take much to push it over the edge. Even a lawful emergency order from the President would set enough liberal hair on fire to touch off a counter revolution.
"Like a wrecking ball disconnected from the chain." T. Waits
Ok, ok. Got it. The whole macro scene is a circus.
I’m living in a small town in western Wisconsin surrounded by Amish farms. I have to partially credit you, James, for my landing here. In my late 20’s, I made my way through a tall stack of books on decline, collapse, etc. I’m now in a place that I love, but it wasn’t easy to downsize from a million neighbors to 4000. Anonymity is out, accountability is in. It’s deeply intimate.
The macro soap opera that you cover more than any other topic these days is completely out of control. I think we all get it. It’s a ghostly, shape shifting, wild-whirling-dervish. Why do we give it so much attention at this point when theres nuttin we can do about it? It really seems like virtual reality at this point, to follow in its wake of sociopaths vying for seat in the control tower. Ain’t it just low hanging fruit? Focus on the drama at the “top” so we don’t have to be a real person out on the town, forming relationships & rebuilding something better while the big ship sinks.
Do yall have any suggestions for blogs that are focused on navigating life in a small town?
How to navigate in a small town (and I've lived in them for nearly all of my adult life): learn the difference between going along and getting along. Living in a small town means being able to do the latter without having to do the former. It's a whole lot easier if you have in a place that shares more of your values. Most small towns tend to be politically moderate to conservative, family-oriented, somewhat religious, and with a decent work ethic. If you lack those traits, small town living may not be for you.
& I can’t help but notice how you just conflated “we” with good old Don. That guy really seems to creepily seep into every conversation.
Here I am talking about redirecting concentration yo what’s actually happening on the block & here you are pointing to the head honcho who is hundreds if not thousands of miles away. Does this strike you as religious?
This tiny town in Wisconsin has a mayoral race underway. I say it’s time to say goodbye to the Big Mac & hello to the beautiful grass fed, grass finished burger raised by the family down the road.
Not a blog, but I escaped from a small midwestern town. To live in such a place, it helps to have grown up there. You can move there from elsewhere and 45 years later still feel like you don't belong (my mother and the wife of the owner of the newspaper both told me so). If not from there yourself, it helps if you have relatives there. People will want to nail down who you are, who you know, etc. I hope it doesn't come down to this, but if I had to bug out I'd decamp to my former small town because I believe I'd have my best chances in a place where I and my family are known. Do NOT be weird. Pick a church and start getting involved there. Be seen around town, in the coffee shop, local restaurants, etc. DO NOT cause trouble. Don't act too damn smart. Learn the local economy and contribute to it somehow. Be friendly. Read the local newspaper. Attend community activities. If you are still working, bring a business or skill the locals will need, such as accounting, building, painting, teaching, medical, dentistry, lawn care, you get the idea. All just IMO after giving this very issue serious thought over the years. Good luck, Scotty, sounds like you're ahead of the game if you're someplace you love.
Are Republicans too stupid to use the same playbook against Newsom when he is installed in 28? Can we not line up federal judges who might play the same game? Might be time to start lining up some Republican lawfare. I’m not optimistic.
I don’t think the mainline Republicans are stupid. I think they are complicit. I think the Uniparty Republicans will be content to see Trump out of office so they can continue the “battered Republican” syndrome of the past 75 years….and get rich in doing so.
I see your point. Look at how the NY GOP has destroyed this state. They allowed an Islamic/Commie/DemonRat to be installed as mayor of NYC. Now they will allow the WORST governor in the history of NY- Horseface Hochul- to continue her reign of terror till there's nothing left. May they rot in hell.
What happened to all the Republican voters who could have gone out and made a difference?? Blaming Democrats who went out to vote, and ignoring the Republicans that didn’t, is part of the problem. And will be the problem if Republicans don’t vote in the midterms.
Right the hell on! The DemonRats never stop working. They never sleep. They always support one another, no matter how bad the crime. They also want to see MAGA people dead.
Democrat are glued together by sharing the same ideology….where as citizens or as politicians. Now, assuming that a good portion of the commenters here were originally MAGA or Trump supporters, look how easy it was to split their original ideology or loyalty, and get them to jump ship.
Republicans are part of the secret combinations. They are the paid vocal opposition to make the people believe we have choices during the elections. When you step back and analyze what both parties are doing and have done over the years you will quickly see that both parties have the same goals. Money.
I'm thinking the Newscum will be pushed aside for the White Messiah, James Talarico, the temu Obama, primed with deception and lies about his allegiance to the altar of socialism.
Possibly. But Newsom can smile and “Hollywood” his way into the hearts of the vast uninformed sheep out there. He will sound like Ronald Reagan on the stump in the summer of 28. He will act like your best friend when interviewed by Fox. Don’t forget how easily influenced 75-80% of the population has shown to be. This group rolled up their sleeves and took an injection of a drug that no one had tested past 6 weeks and no one really knew exactly what was in it, but celebrities told them it was OK. Newsom is the ultimate celebrity candidate.
I never watch CNN. My older sister loves CNN. She is television technology illiterate but she insists "rent a husband" to ensure she always has CNN. Is it some SSRI electrical connection thing going on? My sister hates republicans just like my little brother.
Nothing is ever going to change. There really is no waking up, or going back.
They won't die off because they are leading all of the simpletons to the edge as well.
We are living in sort of a civil cold war.
We have Spamberger now as our governor in Virginia - and she is spending money like water.
It is disgusting.
I love Virginia. We would move further out to the boonies, but hubbs and I are in a very comfortable situation here with healthcare providers.
Take good care of yourselves and the ones you love.
Your idiot neighbors in Virginia elected a woman to a position of power. What do you expect? Tight fiscal management and conservative thinking? Surely, you jest..........and I am NOT calling you "Shirley." :) Women, by and large, are not grounded in reality and make lousy and terrible leaders.
Some years back, I left my native state that I had dearly loved because it had been gerrymandered, overrun with the leftist transplants, and turned into a de facto Socialist dictatorship. Conservatives now have no voice in the governance of that state at all, and likely never will again during my lifetime, if ever. I give it about 10 years before its "positive" inertia from before its leftist takeover runs out and the states heads toward economic collapse--it's already collapsed socially to where much of the metro parts of the state are now dangerous for ordinary citizens. As for the "comfort" comment, I equate that with the old saying, "He who trades freedom for security (or comfort) will soon have neither freedom nor security."
It creates great sport. Kinda like the superbowl where it's all on the line at once. Trump/Eisen quarterbacked teams. Eisen running the controlled west coast offense style game vs. Trump's broken big play offense.
And yes, the fans are passionate about their teams, even to the point of hating each other. Sadly there is no post game handshake.
This is completely off-topic but I hope you will indulge me. Wasn't Artemis blasting into the heavens a beautiful sight? Our adventuring spirit is one of the things I liked best about us, and seeing it back in action made my spirits soar.
I live among lib lefters who have no idea who Norm Eisen is. But then, they marched for Neville Singham and didn’t know he was who they were carrying No Kings posters for. The only thing they know is that Trump is a tyrant. And they think the lack of smiling by their trusted newscasters means that they are serious and to be trusted.
In other words, your "lib lefter" neighbors are brainwashed, ignorant, stupid piles of shit who will believe anything that they are told by the bigger piles of shit in the leftist media.
If I may add... Don't forget about Mary McCord who is the wife of Sheldon Snook, counsel to Chief Justice John Roberts. Roberts and Eisen spend weeks of time together traveling Europe...
McCord is the nexus of all of this.
Sodom on Potomac. Simply more proof that we have lived in a dark age since 11.23.1963 with only two bright spots: Ronaldus and Trump, both of whom were shot. Nixon too, who was deep-stated out of orifice.
OMG...never knew that Norm Eisen and James Boasberg were BFF. It's starting to connect more dots. (and they're not good dots)
The secret combinations are deep and they permeate almost every establishment in the USA from the Federals all the way down to the School Boards. It's all interconnected. It's too great to root out in the court systems.
There is a "hidden hand" pulling the strings, and it's buried much deeper than either of the parties that pass for "political" processes in the U.S. Sure, NGOs and Commies and Dems and Lefties are all busily working to bring down the Republic, but so are the stooges categorized on the other side of the battle, including the Repubs, RINOs, Righties and the current Regime.
The theater created keeps eyes off the Uber-Wealthy puppet masters, who intend to bring down the Republic and install a much more compliant, efficient and draconian system where the top 1% own and direct things, the next 2% are the useful idiot bureaucrats, and the remaining 97% are slaves - think Brave New World/1984.
That is until things break down to a more local level, then it becomes a mix of war bands, Mad Max and World Made by Hand.
Those über-wealthy puppetmasters are the Davos crowd, the globalists. We are about 4-5 years from being on a digital ID and living in a 15-min. city. Trump's folly in the ME is paving the way for energy lockdowns, which are already taking shape here in Europe, and which were part of the Davos and 2030 Agenda.
We are being led further down the garden path. It is no coincidence that the same people on the "right" who went along with Convid are also going along with the next stage of societal destruction.
The uber-wealthy puppet masters are the generational "old money." You know the kind. The Rothschilds, Morgans, Chases, Rockerfellers, Carnegies and others. These are the people that the billionaires like Bezos go to when they need a loan.
When I think of the puppet masters, they're the ones out of sight. We don't know who they are. The old money families are just higher up the chain of command than the newer tech bro genius public puppets. But I could be wrong - I'm way down the org chart, so what do I know?
Digital IDs are a big "next step". I'm not sure, but I think the timing of that may come after the "economic emergency" that's in the pipeline, and will be part of a digital currency to come to the rescue.
Regardless of the schedule of "the plan", I'm sure the next decade will be unreal. I'm still dumbfounded that after the Plandemic and how the globalists played 2/3 of the world's citizens with that psyop, that most are still falling for the old tricks. The political angst and Operation Epstein are irrelevant compared to the Digital Prison grid being rolled out....
Yeah, those are the kind of guys popping up at Davos, Bilderberg, etc.
That's why Washington needs a nuke.
The only nation on this planet to ever use a nuke against another nation is the USA. The "good guys." We'll never see a nuke in Washington because everyone else is too afraid to use one. They know that if they set a nuke off in the USA the USA will turn them to glass.
Everyone except the Iranians? The Mullahs have killed up to 45000 of their own people, they just do not care.
The Mullahs don't have nukes, JohnAZ. If they did don't you think they'd lob a few at Israel, their most hated enemy? Russian government has killed millions of their own citizens, they have never lobbed any nukes. China government has killed millions of its own people, they haven't lobbed any nukes at anyone. Your argument doesn't hold any water my friend.

Good link. I bookmarked it.
I have followed Sundance at that site since 2012 and he is rock solid and is still very connected to Sodom on Potomac.
Imagine if Richard Nixon were around now to see what has happened to the once-good Ship America!
The things he would say.
He wouldn’t have resigned. He would have fought it. Woodward had deep state ties. “Deep throat” was FBI. It was a CIA/FBI OP.
This Color Revolution stuff is going to cost us $10-a-gallon gasoline and food shortages. It's always the taxpayers that pay in the end.
Of course.
The whole Watergate affair was a fraud and Nixon was setup and framed by his old buddy Poppy Bush (CIA). Nixon knew who offed JFK and he might have been close to spilling the bean on that story. He is lucky Poppy didn't slip something into his evening chamomile.
exactly
Follow the wives.
Gramsci, Chomsky and Eisen represent an evil deviancy that threatens western civilization. Overeducated, weak-minded, young skulls full of mush are defenseless to their onslaughts.
Kate Bolduon has the best standing-bitch-face in television land. It hurts just to look at her.
Good piece. In summary:
"Norm Eisen has been deeply involved in every attempt to undermine and disable Mr. Trump since 2016. ...His efforts failed.... [until he] commence[s] a new impeachment effort, in theory coinciding with the seating of a Democratic Party majority in both houses of Congress. His crowning achievement [will] be getting the morose ladies of CNN to finally a crack a smile."
It's a cult.
A real question. The Left has found a single target to attack in Trump and that has facilitated their ability to stymie everything. What is happening to carry on the pro-USA activity once Trump is gone? Vance is on his way to California to try to continue to set the Left back on their heels with the gimme welfare fraud exposure. But really, what is going on post-Trump, to stop the takeover of the country by first the Deep State and the the USACP? THe "Olde GOP" is deserting the ship, showing their true colors.
The removal of Blondi is an encouraging development in the ongoing struggle for justice. She basically shielded the deep state players for the last year.
What is needed now is a pit bull AG who will start finally going after these usurpers. Blanche is certainly not that man and needs to be replaced ASAP.
It will help Trump immensely in the midterms if prosecutions will now commence for the MN fraud (Walz, Ellison, and Omar). Extra points for going after Gates and Fauci.
Trump is going to lose the Congress in the midterms. Reason? I paid $4.78 for a gallon of gasoline yesterday. What used to cost $2.38 a gallon a month ago now is double. Food prices are increasing because truck drivers are forking over $5.35 for a gallon of diesel fuel, which, by the way, is a by product of gasoline production. Trump's war in Iran is going to slow and wreck the economy.
If the war in Iran continues much longer, then yes, the Republicans will pay a steep price in the midterms...
Naw, the political make up of the Congress has already been set. The Republicans are out and will then be paid handsomely to play the vocal opposition to the Democrats as they spend 2027 and 2028 harassing and impeaching President Trump. This war in Iran is wildly UNPOPULAR with the people. As a supporter of Trump I am dismayed at his seemingly never ending penchant to destroy his political career and legacy.
I don’t see how removing the biggest threat to our existence can be as unpopular you say, so I disagree. If he gets out soon, without boots on the ground, he’s good, but there needs to be accountability here for the fraud. The teams in California are going to eliminate Newsom as a candidate, as they’re already seeing arrests. People get incensed about tax dollars being stolen, and connecting that with the end of foreign aid will be like a Marco/Vance grudge match. Most importantly, the election shenanigans must be halted, so Thune needs to go. And fast!
"the biggest threat to our existence"
Are you serious? I'm 52 years old. I have never once in my life been threatened, harmed, harassed or otherwise molested by the nation or people of Iran. Period. In fact, the Iranian people I have met here in the USA have all spoken fluent english and had a love for the lives they were making in the USA. Can't say that for the Mexican and Venezuelan immigrants I have encountered.
Having lived in the USA for 52 years I cannot recall any terrorist event committed on US soil that was committed by Iran. If you have any that you can identify, I would like to know and I welcome being corrected. And don't tell me that the Iran had no right to bomb a US warship hanging around their beaches.
On the flip side, the USA has dozens of military bases in close proximity to Iran's borders. But that's okay. It's an American imperialism kind of thing, I wouldn't understand.
So the Iranians have a whacky government. Who doesn't? You can't sit there and tell me that the USA has a functional government.
You really need to understand who is truly the greatest threat to our existence. It isn't a poverty stricken, water starved, economically pathetic nation like Iran who doesn't even have nukes to lob at nearby Israel. No, the true enemy to our existence are all of the "friendly" immigrants from south of the border who have imbedded themselves in our cities and towns, voting in our elections, sucking us dry through welfare and free health care. They have a REAL impact on us and on our daily lives. Not Iran. Turn off Sean Hannity and Fox News and stop slurping down the war propaganda.
I agree with you on Thune. He is as bad as that rotting corpse known as McConnell and he is a Republican.
If i had a pocket-sized geiger counter for human negativity, the crackling in your presence would be deafening.
Well, do you have a pocket size geiger counter?
I'm a realist. Reality in today's world can be negative because for the most part this world is shit.
It's almost like he's been arrested on false charges, smeared endlessly, had an election stolen from him, his family attacked endlessly, and even had two assassination attempts and no longer gives a FF what you or others think.
The legacy, which is more like the necessary reckoning that the US and the world desperately needs, is outside your understanding.
I'm just a regular joe with an opinion, JSW. I know they don't care what I think. I really don't understand you comment. Try to do better.
I voted for Trump 3 times. But now I feel like a newlywed who got the ICK for their new spouse on the honeymoon. I can't even listen to his voice anymore.
I'm not giving up on conservatism. I just prefer leaders who can set their egos aside, roll up their sleeves, and get the job done. The bluster and braggadocio wears me out. It feels unbecoming to the leader of the free world and disrespectful the American people.
I have been worn down by the constant promises to "do this" but once in power they "do that."
One of them must be Walz. And he needs to start talking more than the Somali guy connecting him to the grift —the one that only got a year.
I’m hearing Lee Zeldin for AG - he’s already been confirmed for the cabinet, would he have to be reconfirmed for the AG post?
It could be the deep state is just too powerful.
It appears to be true. Let's shine a light on them! https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2026/04/02/bondis-replacement-is-important-but-not-as-important-as-perceived/
Wow! That is some article! Mary McCord and her husband are linked to every evil thing that has happened in DC in the past decade! There needs to be a public hanging!
Pam Blondie will go down in history as “Jeff Sessions 2.0”. Unfortunately the Statute of Limitations is running out on the window of time available to snare the snakes. Blondie did exactly what Sessions did: shoved a shiv in Trump’s back.
Name puns like Blondie are verboten here. Don’t resort to them.
No mention of the Iran war today. Day 34 of the 4 day operation. There has been such great confidence that the US has annihilated Iran. For so long we have heard from the whitepillers (the ones that are taking Delusionol) that Iran's missile capacity is gone! The "blackpillers" are dismissed. Iran's missile capabilities are virtually wiped out.
Isn't it funny how US intelligence has now stated half of Iran's missile launching capabilities are still intact. Are we starting to think this was a folly yet or are we still in psychosis? Are we in anger or bargaining yet or are we still in denial?
I totally support our President Trump and MAGA all the way. Nevertheless I still have my fears and worries about this damn war /excursion/whatever they call it. So many moving parts- only a genius like Trump could make this a success. Let us pray on this Good Friday, for our own resurrection.
Ok good, stage 3, bargaining.
I saw a short clip with Catherine Fitts theorizing that this Iran “excursion” is tied into the planned digital prison and Iran was one of the last biggest remaining holdouts.
Catherine A Fitts has a one track mind.
That may be so but isn’t there validity in what’s she’s harping on-digital currency/social credit system part of the plan for the new world order?
I always viewed her as an Intelligence asset, but yeah.
That may be the dumbest thing I have ever read about her. Her work during Convid, in particular, was stellar.
Nah, you don't understand how things work. In order for an asset to build up cred they have to say some good things and then mix in a bunch of BS. There are countless examples of this, Alex Jones being perhaps the best known example. It's called blackwashing, and I was and am skeptical of her.
Makes sense, particularly when you consider how many Palantir and tech people Trump has in his Admin.
I see no evidence he is working against the digital prison.
View from 50K feet?
Rearranging the global energy flows to suit the overlords. The theater is necessary to present the picture differently to different populations. All will comply; they aren't smart enough to see beyond.
Why destroy so much expensive infrastructure in the process? It won't be rebuilt - not necessary - with (planned) demand destruction. Simple Economics 101.
Wealth transfer and accumulation will continue its vertical trajectory. Think Georgia Guidestones - 500M global population. The equivalent of one thousand serfs serving each one of 5000 of the anointed. Not a bad average.
On target, Ron.
Here in Europe they are pushing EVs particularly hard now. Gas is now 2.35 a liter on average here in Germany.
EVs are of course meant to put people out of private vehicles and shift them to 15-min. cities, where they will then be locked in via digital ID and additional rules about what they can and cannot buy or do.
And all you have to do is turn off the power grid and you got them right where you want them. Total control over everyone and everything. They hate gasoline because gasoline is raw energy and provides some semblance of freedom to the people.
Perhaps, but I doubt it. The Iran "excursion" is all about money. The oil companies weren't making enough money so they tapped Trump to lob some missiles and 'voila' now we are paying over $4 for a gallon of gasoline. Money is rolling in for someone, somewhere, especially because the USA gets the vast majority of its crude from sources OTHER THAN the Middle East.
This isn't a war for oil companies. US oil majors operate around the globe. They don't want their oil plays in the ME to be destroyed. Gulf States have invested heavily in the US economy. Wrecking their economies threatens continued investment. The US is seen as an unreliable and foolish partner. This is about regional hegemony for Israel.
If the U.S. is energy independent why is the war affecting our domestic prices?
Because oil is a globally traded commodity so anything that happens elsewhere in the globe affects our prices here at home. It's an insidious system. Necessities like oil, food and housing should never have become investments that can be traded in cesspools like Wall Street. IMO.
Pretty much every product and service around the world is made possible at some level through oil and natural gas. All of our labor is embedded with oil and natural gas. The US is not energy independent. There are different grade of oil; the US imports a large amount of oil crude grades that are not present domestically.
A good reason to give Fitts a bit of distance for some of her theories.
Catherine Fitts may be a little over the top or .....on target....Promethean Action, on the other hand, says that this is about the destruction of the power of the City of London which they say is behind Iran and its government.
Why a proxy war with Iran why not cut the head of the snake?
Why don't you check them out? It's free if you want. Both women have been in the business for a long time, it seems. I had heard about the control on geo events before but have not yet personally grasped how and what they do. I need a tutorial.
I voted for Trump and trust him and his instincts. Who I do not trust is some of the people in the military to, at a minimum, give the straight skinny to Trump. Putting aside closet Obama supporters and promoties, the military has a tendency to pretty up the package as it goes up the chain. Trump, on the other hand, likes to hear different opinions before forming his. He is the eternal optimist.
LaRouche BOT identified.
I admire President Trump's resolute persistence in the face of years' worth of lies and hostility from his enemies in Congress, the deep state, the media, and the public. Add to that whatever plots, maybe including assassination, they are brewing. The man has a spine.
But he is no genius, NY Nanny. While his domestic policies are a breath of fresh air in the asphyxiating corridors of DC, when it comes to foreign relations some perverse imp seems to take over his mind. Within three months of his second inauguration he has erased all substantial support from theoretically friendly European countries, shown himself to be under hypnotic control by Israel, and thanks to miscalculation placed the US in an appalling position in the Iran war that threatens to get completely out of hand.
At best -- at best! -- he will have to preside over the humiliating withdrawal of US armed forces and destroyed bases in the neighborhood of Iran. At worst he'll carry the weight of an economic and military disaster into the midterms and 2028.
Nah, President Trump and the US Military along with Israeli forces have this and I’m deeply grateful. The Iranian theocratic murder cult is finally getting what is needed. We will see 47 years of evil finally collapse thanks to our brave men and women. Know that the Iranian goal of jihad would continue with billions upon billions of petro dollars being used to expand their plans to destroy western civilization. We know this by their past actions, funding proxy global terrorism, consistent statements and actions of “Death to America”, assassin squads, attacks upon Israel and American interests, plans to dominate the entire Middle East oil region. Their end game of course is world domination at any cost to sit atop the world’s most evil death cult including use of the bomb. They must fall to the dust of time and a free Persian nation emerge.
Nobody cares about what Europeans under the control of Islam think anymore. He’s shoring up a new power base. He’s done with the UN and Brussels.
It looks increasingly like he fooled most of his base, and only the neocons remain. He once claimed to be anti-neocon, which is hilarious in hindsight.
He definitely stepped in it with the attack on Iran. Or did he? That is exactly what the Davos crowd needs to push Agenda 2030 through.
Incoming egg toward face, a double disaster for a vegan.
Why don't you engage in a thoughtful debate rather than putting out there silly euphemisms about geiger counters and face covered eggs, Paul?
Much depends on where you are getting your information, and the underlying bias that the news source has. The amount of weaponry that Iran built was purposeful and enormous. I only believe US intelligence sources if they are supported by Tulsi Gabbard. Otherwise, they are deep state operatives.
YOU NAILED IT when you wrote "much depends on where you are getting your information".
This is the problem with virtually every political discussion I have, especially with friends and relatives who are afflicted with TDS or other Liberal mental disorders.
I have one close relative who will not believe a word I say about CVD, alt health, TrUMP, Energy, etc. because she didn't hear it on Oprah or the View or from Rachel Maddow.
People who read James HK obviously do a lot of research- real research- but even so, many of us will not accept every statement as factual because it doesn't agree with our own research.
Like someone said: "Facts are stubborn things." "You are entitled to your own opinion but not your own Facts."
Check out the duration and casualty volume of US involved global conflicts post WWII and compare them to the current conflict with the Earth's #1 sponsor of terrorism. Panicans need to Trust In Trump.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
That’s a dumbass cliche.
99.9% of the people in the US have no idea what is going on in the background...they do not have all the dots to connect to get a full picture. Most people do not think evil so it is hard to consider the actual evil taking place. The answers to all questions remain "follow the money" and cui bono....There are evil string pullers out there that we still do not know about.
Curious.... Where was the "4 day operation" announced as 4 days? A citation outside of an esoteric podcast would be useful in trying to comprehend all that follows that "fact".
Please link to your source where Trump advised that this would be a ‘’4 day operation’.
I'll assume this reply to me was actually a pile-on of MH's original post. It's amazing what people will parrot without thinking, let alone checking on its veracity. It wouldn't surprise me if MH came back with a link to his own comment!
Again, please link your source that indicated that Iran was going to be a 4 day operation.
Again, please read the thread. I asked for a source from MH after he wrote "No mention of the Iran war today. Day 34 of the 4 day operation." You keep asking me for the source as replies to asking MH for a source. If you want to challenge the "4 day operation" narrative, please ask for it via a reply to the guy that posted it. Not that hard.
Oops. Sorry! Sometimes those lines that indicate what the response is to, is confusing.
That's just what I meant in my comment.
None of the above. Trump is doing a great job you just don't understand the objective. The globalist imperial system is being destroyed and Iran is the latest move. BP was founded on Iranian oil and the City of London has controlled Iran the entire time. Check out Promethean updates on YT so you can get with the program
The so-called globalists want the old infrastructure destroyed,. The New Normal and Great Reset don't see people like you driving, flying, or owning anything.
You appear to be absolutely clueless.
Time will tell who is the clueless one. From where I'm sitting Trump is dismantling the globalists and doing a great job of it. He said as much at Davos "globalism is dead." Klaus and company want everyone owing nothing and being happy. They are being shown the door. Time to get on board for the big win.
His admin. is literally full of Palantir folk and he still pushes the Convid shots.
And that is just the tip of the iceberg. Time has already left your side.

They're convinced they're the "good guys"--which allows them to commit the worst of crimes (see SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY). The NO KINGS "protests" and cries of "DICTATOR!" and "TYRANT!" have been in anticipation of forthcoming tribunals--well within the president's Constitutional powers, and supported by a majority of Americans. It's why we hired Trump.
"They're convinced they're the "good guys"--which allows them to commit the worst of crimes"
Interesting comment, RI. I think the USA convinces itself that it is the good guy as it wages war in foreign nations all over the globe. Nations that, for all intents and purposes, pose no immediate threat to the USA and are usually poverty stricken. "But Terrorism!" Naw, not buying it.
This, exactly. That Trump has been hypnotized to an evil cause is plain for all to see.
It is evil to commit genocide or be complicit with genocide. It is evil to commit war crimes by destroying civilian infrastructures. Period. The ends do not justify the means. Ever.
You anti-Trump people are laughably, profoundly and obdurately stupid. You are mentally ill with TDS. For forty-seven years Iran has been anti-Western civilization and anti- American. What part of “Death to America” don’t you understand? There is a war going on. The only downside for Americans are temporarily higher gasoline prices. Meanwhile, Trump is riding the world of a bad actor. What do you want, a nuke hitting NY or LA to “justify” a strike?
By the way, Iran has no nukes. If they did, don't you think they'd have lobbed a few of them at Israel, their most hated enemy, by now? Come on, you gotta stop slurping the Sean Hannity propaganda and start seeing things as they really are.
"For forty-seven years Iran has been anti-Western civilization and anti- American."
And why, Jeff Smith, are they so anti-western civilization and anti-America? Ever stop to think about this for a second? It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that the nation of Iran is surrounded by numerous American military installations and bases? Or that America has been meddling in Iran's governmental affairs since the USA helped overthrow the Shah of Iran?
You war humpers out there amaze me. You think the USA's shit smells like peaches and cream. It's okay for us to have bases all over the world and to have nukes (the US is the only nation to actually use nukes by the way) and to bully other countries around, piss around in their elections through the CIA (see Ukraine). But if they don't like us or try to defend themselves, damnit, THEY HAVE NO RIGHT. But, but, but, "terrorism" the war humpers decry! They cause terrorism everywhere! So let's bomb them back to the stone age! Who gives a fuck about the millions of innocent civilians whose lives are devastated from the bombing. And yes, believe it or not, there are innocent Iranians in Iran who have nothing to do with any of this.
How many countries has Iran invaded? How many countries as the USA invaded? It's an American exceptionalism kind of thing, you wouldn't understand.
I'm not anti-Trump. I want Trump to succeed. I am anti-war in all of its forms. War serves only to enrich a few at the top and devastate the lives of all the rest. Most Iranian people are just regular folks like you and I who want to live out their lives in relative peace. The USA has no right to invade, attack, or destroy a sovereign nation. Period.
Plain to see when you’re deranged.
There is only one form of war where the moral high ground can be maintained and that is in defense of one's family, property and homes. Iran hasn't invaded anyone and I don't know of any terrorist events in the 50 states that were committed by the nation of Iran. As the aggressor in almost all of America's wars the USA has acted immorally and has committed much evil. All in the name of money. You can't justify a trillion dollar defense budget if there is no war to fight. So they find some hapless country like Iran to bully and claim "terrorism" as a cause to lob missiles into their nation, destroy their properties, kill their people and destroy their economy. But hey, they are at least targeting just military installations. Do they give any consideration to how their actions devastate the lives of the innocent civilians who now have to negotiate the devastation?
I hate war in all of its forms. Period.
Not to mention the cost. $39 trillion and counting........nobody cares. "We're in debt to ourselves" they will say, as if that is a harmless thing and we shouldn't care about it.
There's no time for tribunals, he has a war to prosecute.
Remember, Trump told us Epstein was a "hoax"
LOL.
I just read that a number of files containing Epstein's ties to Israel were also removed from the tranche that was released.
Persecute.
I believe the entire drama we have been living through in this country’s battle for survival comes down to We, the People.
What are we willing to sacrifice, our rights for safety, our common sense for lunacy, our own children’s and children’s children futures for a morsel of bread (or cheap gas) today?
If We, the People don’t think this country is worth fighting for based upon its Constitution then all bets are off.
We’re the ones who get to decide which way things will go, now and in the future.
If we’ve learned nothing from what lengths the Democrats are willing to go to subjugate us and trample upon our rights in just these last 10 years - forget the 50-100 years prior - then we deserve whatever we get.
There just aren't enough of us. The leviathan has grown to outnumber us and developed systems to put down even the smallest hint of a threat: J6
Actually, there are enough of us, IMHO. The problem is that "progressives" yearn to tell people what to do/think whereas "conservatives" want to be left alone. When it comes to acting on those characteristics, the minority triumphs as the majority voice. And in a democracy, that's ultimately self-destructive.
You only need a few competent motivated individuals, and you only remove certain key individuals. It's pretty plain that nothing else will save the country, since more than half of our governing body is working towards its destruction.
Really?? There were enough of us to ensure that the result of the 2024 election.
Suzie, I really appreciate your post and your optimistic appraisal of the current situation we currently find ourselves in. But, we are so boned in this country. The ball was rolling more than a hundred years before we were born. Our parents and grand parents were born into it and we poor saps had no say on any of this. The only way out of this is a total and complete collapse of the current system, to get it completely out of the way.
Case in point, Donald Trump. I believe the President has desires to improve the conditions of the USA but everything he does is obstructed......everywhere.......by everyone. Just as Pnoldguy says in response to your text, "there just aren't enough of us." He's right. Critically thinking people are a rare breed in the USA right now. We flock to sites like CFN because we can hobnob with those of like mindedness but in reality most people are too busy downloading porn, watching the teevee, betting on professional sports, doing drugs or working 3 jobs just to pay the rent.
The only way out is for the system to implode on itself and I don't see that happening any time soon.
100% spot on. Regardless of what motivates Trump, nothing he does will change one iota of what's to come. Been spending all my spare time in the garden rather than contemplating the mid terms.
As a gardener, I get it. I do the same. I used to listen to conservative talk radio shows like Mark Levin until he became so pro-Israel that his show was always about Israel. So I turned the radio shows off, turned off the teevee except for a few guilty pleasures like the WWE. Everyone has an agenda or an angle and most of the time that agenda and angle is the accumulation of very large amounts of wealth. I won't contribute to it anymore.
"Critically thinking people are a rare breed in the USA right now. We flock to sites like CFN ..."
Hmmm. Have read the comments? Pretty sure this ain't the crowd that frequents https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ for direct sourcing of data in order to make their own decisions as opposed to sopping up and reposting rage-bait.
"The only way out is for the system to implode on itself and I don't see that happening any time soon."
It may not take that much for an implosion to occur. Just look at the amount of damage the Biden crew did to this country in less than 4 years. Depending on the midterms, it wouldn't take much to push it over the edge. Even a lawful emergency order from the President would set enough liberal hair on fire to touch off a counter revolution.

Ok, ok. Got it. The whole macro scene is a circus.
I’m living in a small town in western Wisconsin surrounded by Amish farms. I have to partially credit you, James, for my landing here. In my late 20’s, I made my way through a tall stack of books on decline, collapse, etc. I’m now in a place that I love, but it wasn’t easy to downsize from a million neighbors to 4000. Anonymity is out, accountability is in. It’s deeply intimate.
The macro soap opera that you cover more than any other topic these days is completely out of control. I think we all get it. It’s a ghostly, shape shifting, wild-whirling-dervish. Why do we give it so much attention at this point when theres nuttin we can do about it? It really seems like virtual reality at this point, to follow in its wake of sociopaths vying for seat in the control tower. Ain’t it just low hanging fruit? Focus on the drama at the “top” so we don’t have to be a real person out on the town, forming relationships & rebuilding something better while the big ship sinks.
Do yall have any suggestions for blogs that are focused on navigating life in a small town?
How to navigate in a small town (and I've lived in them for nearly all of my adult life): learn the difference between going along and getting along. Living in a small town means being able to do the latter without having to do the former. It's a whole lot easier if you have in a place that shares more of your values. Most small towns tend to be politically moderate to conservative, family-oriented, somewhat religious, and with a decent work ethic. If you lack those traits, small town living may not be for you.

If there was ‘nuttin we can do about it’, we wouldn’t have Donald Trump as a president.
& I can’t help but notice how you just conflated “we” with good old Don. That guy really seems to creepily seep into every conversation.
Here I am talking about redirecting concentration yo what’s actually happening on the block & here you are pointing to the head honcho who is hundreds if not thousands of miles away. Does this strike you as religious?
This tiny town in Wisconsin has a mayoral race underway. I say it’s time to say goodbye to the Big Mac & hello to the beautiful grass fed, grass finished burger raised by the family down the road.
When does putting any [significant] amount of trust, faith, or reliance in a figure we’re completely disconnected from amount to delusional behavior?
Not a blog, but I escaped from a small midwestern town. To live in such a place, it helps to have grown up there. You can move there from elsewhere and 45 years later still feel like you don't belong (my mother and the wife of the owner of the newspaper both told me so). If not from there yourself, it helps if you have relatives there. People will want to nail down who you are, who you know, etc. I hope it doesn't come down to this, but if I had to bug out I'd decamp to my former small town because I believe I'd have my best chances in a place where I and my family are known. Do NOT be weird. Pick a church and start getting involved there. Be seen around town, in the coffee shop, local restaurants, etc. DO NOT cause trouble. Don't act too damn smart. Learn the local economy and contribute to it somehow. Be friendly. Read the local newspaper. Attend community activities. If you are still working, bring a business or skill the locals will need, such as accounting, building, painting, teaching, medical, dentistry, lawn care, you get the idea. All just IMO after giving this very issue serious thought over the years. Good luck, Scotty, sounds like you're ahead of the game if you're someplace you love.
Unfortunately at this point I am betting on the deep state. Trump might have been the last peaceful modality to co-opt them
Are Republicans too stupid to use the same playbook against Newsom when he is installed in 28? Can we not line up federal judges who might play the same game? Might be time to start lining up some Republican lawfare. I’m not optimistic.
Re: the dopey Republicans, the answer is "you can't fix stupid."
I don’t think the mainline Republicans are stupid. I think they are complicit. I think the Uniparty Republicans will be content to see Trump out of office so they can continue the “battered Republican” syndrome of the past 75 years….and get rich in doing so.
I see your point. Look at how the NY GOP has destroyed this state. They allowed an Islamic/Commie/DemonRat to be installed as mayor of NYC. Now they will allow the WORST governor in the history of NY- Horseface Hochul- to continue her reign of terror till there's nothing left. May they rot in hell.
What happened to all the Republican voters who could have gone out and made a difference?? Blaming Democrats who went out to vote, and ignoring the Republicans that didn’t, is part of the problem. And will be the problem if Republicans don’t vote in the midterms.
Right the hell on! The DemonRats never stop working. They never sleep. They always support one another, no matter how bad the crime. They also want to see MAGA people dead.
Democrat are glued together by sharing the same ideology….where as citizens or as politicians. Now, assuming that a good portion of the commenters here were originally MAGA or Trump supporters, look how easy it was to split their original ideology or loyalty, and get them to jump ship.
Ain't that a fact!
Republicans are part of the secret combinations. They are the paid vocal opposition to make the people believe we have choices during the elections. When you step back and analyze what both parties are doing and have done over the years you will quickly see that both parties have the same goals. Money.
I'm thinking the Newscum will be pushed aside for the White Messiah, James Talarico, the temu Obama, primed with deception and lies about his allegiance to the altar of socialism.
“newscum” ?? Reminder, political name puns are a pet peeve of mine, and you can be tossed outa here if you keep using them.
Possibly. But Newsom can smile and “Hollywood” his way into the hearts of the vast uninformed sheep out there. He will sound like Ronald Reagan on the stump in the summer of 28. He will act like your best friend when interviewed by Fox. Don’t forget how easily influenced 75-80% of the population has shown to be. This group rolled up their sleeves and took an injection of a drug that no one had tested past 6 weeks and no one really knew exactly what was in it, but celebrities told them it was OK. Newsom is the ultimate celebrity candidate.
I never watch CNN. My older sister loves CNN. She is television technology illiterate but she insists "rent a husband" to ensure she always has CNN. Is it some SSRI electrical connection thing going on? My sister hates republicans just like my little brother.
Nothing is ever going to change. There really is no waking up, or going back.
They won't die off because they are leading all of the simpletons to the edge as well.
We are living in sort of a civil cold war.
We have Spamberger now as our governor in Virginia - and she is spending money like water.
It is disgusting.
I love Virginia. We would move further out to the boonies, but hubbs and I are in a very comfortable situation here with healthcare providers.
Take good care of yourselves and the ones you love.
Your idiot neighbors in Virginia elected a woman to a position of power. What do you expect? Tight fiscal management and conservative thinking? Surely, you jest..........and I am NOT calling you "Shirley." :) Women, by and large, are not grounded in reality and make lousy and terrible leaders.
Go ask Pamela, I think she'll know.
Some years back, I left my native state that I had dearly loved because it had been gerrymandered, overrun with the leftist transplants, and turned into a de facto Socialist dictatorship. Conservatives now have no voice in the governance of that state at all, and likely never will again during my lifetime, if ever. I give it about 10 years before its "positive" inertia from before its leftist takeover runs out and the states heads toward economic collapse--it's already collapsed socially to where much of the metro parts of the state are now dangerous for ordinary citizens. As for the "comfort" comment, I equate that with the old saying, "He who trades freedom for security (or comfort) will soon have neither freedom nor security."
It creates great sport. Kinda like the superbowl where it's all on the line at once. Trump/Eisen quarterbacked teams. Eisen running the controlled west coast offense style game vs. Trump's broken big play offense.
And yes, the fans are passionate about their teams, even to the point of hating each other. Sadly there is no post game handshake.
This is completely off-topic but I hope you will indulge me. Wasn't Artemis blasting into the heavens a beautiful sight? Our adventuring spirit is one of the things I liked best about us, and seeing it back in action made my spirits soar.
I live among lib lefters who have no idea who Norm Eisen is. But then, they marched for Neville Singham and didn’t know he was who they were carrying No Kings posters for. The only thing they know is that Trump is a tyrant. And they think the lack of smiling by their trusted newscasters means that they are serious and to be trusted.
In other words, your "lib lefter" neighbors are brainwashed, ignorant, stupid piles of shit who will believe anything that they are told by the bigger piles of shit in the leftist media.
Reading JHK's post too quickly, I misread "orgs" as "orcs". Appropriate though.
Autocorrect. You had it right the first read.
