What matters now is ending the war as quickly and decisively as possible. . . After that, people can wrestle over the “moral and constitutional” quandary to their heart’s content." —Brandon Smith
Note to commenters: I'm going to get a little more aggressive banishing the trolls here. Be careful flogging your Jew-hate and "Zionist" this-and-that. And I don't want to see any stupid political name puns such as "DemonCRAP," "Repugnican," or "O'Bummer." They reflect poorly on the conversation. Carry on, now.
"Jew-hatred". Because I loathe what the state of Israel is doing, I am labelled? I also do not like what the government of the USA is doing...am I now anti-American?
The problem I have with your Gaza comment above is that you completely disregard the massacre the Palestinians inflicted on the Israeli kids on October 7, 2023. After this horrific event, Israel decided to do whatever it takes to remove the demons running Gaza (Hamas) from ever being able to do this again. Without recognizing this context, your voice is hollow.
Have you heard the theory that Israel knew of the attack beforehand and stood down to have justification later? It is kind of the same theory as to why the SPLC would fund the same hate groups it "fights"
The fact is, Jim has been magnanimous to a fault, allowing hateful misanthropes like Carlos to spew their murderous racist venom on his site. Much like Israel has shown massive tolerance in its neck of the woods, whereas its Islamic neighbors would put Carlos in jail, if not in his grave.
the Shah wanted a two state solution, but he was overruled by Libs who wanted the mullah's. That's what gave you Gaza. The Shah was against terrorists. Anwar Sadat was against Terrorists. Did you ever wonder why the Saudi's don't take in refugees. There's that terrorist problem again. If I went to visit Israel, I would probably be spit on but they wouldn't kill me.
Stupid name calling needs to stop but I think we should be permitted to ask questions. I hope Mr. Kunstler doesn't start banning people for having opposing viewpoints or asking questions. If he does, I'm out of here. I appreciate apposing views. Helps me keep my mind open and enables me to consider points of view not considered before. Even points of view that I find offensive.
The problem is, CP, that it seems to be the only thing some folks want to vent about. CFN is a meeting of opinions not a bitch site for people who want to vent their spleen about Israel, over and over and over and over.
Honestly, JohnAZ, I don't care what Israel does or who Israel makes war against. That is their business. The impetus of my comments is always about the USA and how the actions of this government are damaging our nation and continue to damage our nation. I love America (not to be construed with America's filthy government). It is my home. I had ancestors on the Mayflower. For me it is all about Americans and America. I could not care less bout Israel or Iran. Hence my opposition to our wars over there. You and I have discussed this at length and I believe we understand each other.
Yeah, I understand, but I am anti-war and I have spewed my opinions over and over and over again. Does that make me a troll worthy of being expelled? It's JHK's website, he can do as he pleases, but, there are many other substacks to visit and read.
We live in a sick world, blaming Jews for all the world’s problems. They do not control the world, i.e. banking, law, entertainment, medicine, & corporations. Are there many Jewish people in these fields? Yes, and we have reaped many benefits thanks to their parents insisting on their children getting an education & instilling in them to give back to society, like many of our parents have done. If one is talking about corruption & greed, that knows no boundaries.
True that, but, it is fact that there is a small minority of Jews who happen to have a lot of money and control in a lot of corporations and businesses. A percentage that is disproportionately high considering the small percentage of the population that is composed of Jewish people. I'm not saying it is good or bad, but it is something worthy of consideration.
Prior to 1994 a great many decent people decried apartheid in South Africa without hating the Afrikaners. So it is today in Gaza.
As for “Zionist,” some clarification here would be helpful. In the interest of preserving this forum as a meaningful opportunity for the frank exchange of views, are we supposed to pretend it doesn’t exist, or are we just forbidden to use the word?
Actually Gaza practices something worse than apartheid - it’s Judenfrei! Just like the genocidal chant demands, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!”
HS - Last time I checked the world created the Israel state after millions of jews were murdered by jew haters not unlike some lurking on this site. Never forget. Gaza never stood up to the Hamas demons controlling their land and sadly are now paying for what occurred on 10/7/23.
Some people never realize the difference between Hamas and Palestinian. However, the Palestinians do little to prevent the war-making antics of Hamas and their benefactor.
Other people don't understand the difference between Jew and Globalist. While the distracting smokescreen of national politics, trumped up military psyops, fake crony capitalism markets and cultural decay fill the media's bandwidth, the processes of resource depletion of The Long Emergency and the New World Order being built for most of us continues. You can pick out the various sub-plots of 1984, Soylent Green, The Terminator, The Matrix and Mad Max taking shape as we bitch about high gas prices and watch sportsball.
Only time will tell how history portrays the Iran Project and Trump, but it appears to be a key milestone along the way to eventual destinations of the Great Reset, Collapse of Western Civilization and the end of the American Empire. Soon we'll have much bigger problems to consider than the mischief of NGOs, polls of mid-term sweeps, vaccine injuries and bringing politicians and their useful idiots to justice. Most of those guilty parties will be dealt with as they join the ranks of the "useless eaters" and "deplorables". The survivors will spend a short period of time pan-roasting insects over a fire. Then the insects will enjoy a much, much longer period of time not having to worry about those pesky humans up the food chain.
I dunno about others, but, like "social" anything, and a few others it overloads my bullshit detector. The word might have had less than dishonorable connotation, but that bus left the station years ago. Sorry.
Jim, This Thune thing is SO big, leaving the future of America in the balance, what kind of dirt to they have on this guy, such that he would sacrifice the country to save himself...
Can’t figure out what the hell is Thune thinking? Talk about being on the wrong side of an 80/20 issue; with “Republicans” like this who needs democrats? I don’t get it; why stand in the way of something a clear majority of voters - of both sides from polls I’ve seen - clearly desire?
Yes, but how is Thune’s obstruction “in his own interest”? He’s destroying his own reputation and his career in his own party, and Democrats will never accept him.
He still believes the "old guard" is in power, and will remain in place He is comfortable with convincing himself he is a "Senator" and can do these things.
Yes, and the filibuster rule of 61 votes makes the Senate a filter for supposed bi-partisanship. The real effect is that it gives them an excuse for doing nothing. The current state of affairs, a split electorate, 50-50, means nothing will pass.
"The real effect is that it gives them an excuse for doing nothing."
Especially when scum like John Thune will do nothing to change the conditions of the filibuster. The filibuster isn't in the Constitution. The Constitution permits the House and the Senate to set their own rules of operation. The filthy Republicans could change the filibuster conditions in a heart beat but Thune won't let it happen. This stuff makes my eyes want to bleed. What a mess.
There is a Uniparty and Thune is a member. He plays dumb with the best of them. I think he was voted as Senate Majority Leader by other U senators who want to stop Trump from doing what his voters want. McConnell Light.
What do you not understand? He's not representing the American people, Dutchmn007. He's representing something else entirely. When you consider his actions in this light, it's very easy to understand why he is doing what he is doing.
Easy, Deep State! The GOP is split by federalism, the belief that the people are of the government, by the government and for the government. These RINOs are more dangerous to the future of the USA than the Democrats as they occupy seats that should be anti-government. There are lots of them that want their cozy little empire in Washington DC without having to listen to their constituents.
Because John Thune is looking towards reelection. A lot of them are. They'll vote accordingly. That's why a number of republicans voted against the SAVE act. When you can't do anything else in life, you go into politics and begin to pad your way to becoming a millionaire.
Yep, the DeepState hates the SAVE act as it stops their machines from cheating. Deep Staters do not even want voting at all and consider elections a threat to themselves. Clean elections will be fought at all costs by these people, using legislative coverups to ameliorate the mass reactions. In a few words,
Thune is a disgrace. He is from South Dakota and in no way, shape or form do his actions reflect the wishes of his constituents. He 's the poster boy for revoking the 17th Amendment.He is clearly motivated by self interest. I'm sure there's more, but we already know what we need to know.
Thune represents (theoretically) South Dakota, a low population state with an economy smaller than many counties elsewhere. Trump could issue any number of executive orders targeting Thune’s state economy to exert pressure. Since most bank credit card operations are located there to exploit the state’s allowable usurious interest rates, just a wee temporary cap on credit card interest rates would persuade a substantial portion of their economy to consider a move to friendlier climes. There are other tactics, but since none are being deployed by the administration it seems logical to assume the administration is fine with the SAVE Act languishing in the senate.
Mr. Grove---my take on this is that it used to be possible to get elected in S. Dakota as a Dem/Marxist but as the party has gotten so crazy that most polite society cannot stomach voting for them so S. Dakota and other very very red states did not elect many Ds so........Ds tell everyone they are Rs and tout their C credentials and they vote with the Rs most of the time when they know their 1 vote will not defeat a bill. But..... when you have an idea or a bill that needs to get stopped ----- according to the Ds-----the mask falls off the RINOs and they line up to do everything in their power to stop a bill----of course they make up ridiculous excuses for why they will vote with the Ds. With Thune placed in this position of authority in the R party he actually can stop the bill and....... make sure that the Marxists retain their ability to fabricate votes which is one of the only ways that they can keep anything close to a majority. This is a make or break moment for the Marxists and Thune delivers for the Marxists so his pics with a goat or some other malfeasance is not exposed. Equally he has kept the Senate in session so Trump cannot get any judges or Executive appointments in place during the time the Senate is out of session. I am quite surprised that Trump has not lambasted Thune just about this horrible action but.....maybe he wanted to get the Save Act passed first. Hopefully the fine citizens of S. Dakota will wise up and vote him out but......I understand he has an enormous war chest so there is probably no way to get him out next election or even the one after that.
And....one question Mr. Grove. Do you happen to live in or around Grove City Ohio ? Nice to have a city named after you.
Good post. Could it be that the Senate leadership has TDS requirements? To get the RINO votes in the majority, do they have to be anti-Trump to get elected?
It is stunning to behold. Most likely the man likes little children. I don't know what can be worse in America today. Adultery? Americans don't give a damn. Fornication? It's the standard means of making babies today. Elder abuse? Nobody cares. Corruption in government? Pfft. Sexual perversions such as homosexuality? Old news. Hell, even murder isn't really condemned like it used to be. So, what's left?
Whatever it is, its powerful enough to make this worthless fucker betray his people and his posterity. Way to go SOUTH DAKOTA!
I know you don't believe in this, Cankerpuss, but after this comes judgment. Most of them will likely not survive the tribulation. Those that do will pray to the mountains to fall on them to hide them from Jesus' return.
Why do you think I don't believe that, Kathy? I'm a Christian. I have accepted Christ as my Savior and I strive to live my life according to his teachings.
I don't like churches because churches always have a "strong man" who claims he is entitled to special revelation that the rest of us peons are not entitled to.
I struggle with the amount of deference God gives to the wicked and filthy at the expense of the decent and the innocent. Not only does he give plenty of deference he permits them and their posterity to THRIVE and PROSPER. It is baffling to me.
How bad does the world truly have to be before God moves the mountains on top of them to hide their sins?
"I struggle with the amount of deference God gives to the wicked and filthy" - It would be nice to have God, as depicted in Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam", on occasion, to point his finger away from Adam and strike down a few of the most egregious actors in our midst.
I know it's hard to watch, Cankerpuss, believe me I do. But that's where faith comes in. God knows things we don't, right? And He deals not only with nations but with individuals. And He's not willing that any should perish, so He gives people as much time as He can to repent, but everyone has an "appointed time." When the judgment comes, however, it is swift and terrible.
Because of this I can't spend my days looking forward to and hoping that one day he comes back and saves us from the rampant wickedness of the world. Nobody knows. So, I just do my best to live a good life and try to not think about or hope that he's coming soon. It's futile.
Porn websites? Porn is a billion dollar industry in America today. Everyone looks at porn. Naw, porn wouldn't be enough to make him betray everything and everyone he holds dear. Child porn, that might do it. The general public still has a distaste for child abuse and child porn (unless you are a woman who wants to mutilate your child to change its gender).
Our next 250 years of our History Senator John Thune could very well replace Ole Benedict Arnold as our Nations Biggest Traitor.
He has precious little time to redeem himself before the history books and all school children will be taught his name and his overarching dereliction of his duties representing his Constituents his Country and his Party!
I have ThDS. Thune Derangement Syndrome. He is obviously overseeing some kind of deep state rear guard action for someone or something outside the view of us peons. His actions certainly do not reflect what the guy in the driver's seat should be doing for his "party." He is refusing to adjourn the Senate, always leaving a couple of Senators to hold a quick morning 'session" wherein obscure Senator A comes in and calls the Senate into session, with obscure Senator B immediately motioning to adjourn for the day. This filthy stunt has prevented Trump from making any recess appointments which can be made when the Senate is "out of session." He is nothing more than a younger, better looking version of Mitch McConnell, although I must say he appears to have aged five or ten years over this past year.
This Spanberger woman - I really cannot understand how someone can shamelessly lie to the public in order to gain power. Sure, it's happened before, but this blatantly? Is she really a product of an American family with normal upbringing? How is someone like that spawned? And was she assured that she would be able to get away with her malfeasance?
She is former CIA....What's hard to understand....they are trained liars....part of the job description....Mark Groubert is right....never vote for someone with CIA in their resume.
Mr. Dave----easy for me to understand. She is a politician. And.....She is a D/Marxist. Most of them are so used to lying that sometimes they even lie when the truth would be better. I am sure she probably adores Hillary. I can remember when Hillary called Trump a liar in 2016 and when I heard that I almost fell over because her and her husband are some of the worst liars in the world but........Bill is better at it because he can almost convince someone he is telling the truth even when you are expecting him to lie.
Could she be like the first black president? Totally manufactured. She was a do nothing representative. Some are saying this amendment vote will be her downfall, that she is the big loser. The public is the loser until this voting theft is brought under control.
Obama was half black. A point that should always be emphasized. His other half was white. Why the white half is always ignored is interesting. As if it doesn't matter.
CP, prior to the civil war, blackness was determined by the percentage of black ancestors one had. I believe that folks with 1/8 black ancestry were considered Black. It was very important in the South.
I do think that certain folks today still consider Black ancestry to classify people today. I will guarantee you that the NAACP and BLM consider Obama to be Black.
This is the perfect example of the self hating Jew. The American Marxist spoiled brat non practicing self hating American jap. These are Israel’s worst enemies, because they destroy like a parasite. And then there’s idiots like tom, and Carlos, who are just idiots.
The gimme mentality is strong in northern Virginia, where the cretins in the federal bureaucracy live. Gimmes vote for anyone that promises a free ride on the government.
Glad you're doing something about the trolls, etc. The Psalms and Proverbs carry many verses advising to avoid fools/stupid people as they just waste your time and can't be convinced of anything.
Coffee and JHK. President Trump has a cannon quietly moving into position for the midterms that Thune is sabotaging for the possible, usual hefty Xi check. Thank you for helping the heroic midwife, btw.
It is an interesting juxtaposition, Spanberger and Kathleen Breault, toxic femininity and real, life-giving female power, shielding patients and their babies.
No doubt money is behind it. Money is behind everything that is done, good or bad. That's the world we live in. Money is everything and people will do anything to hoard as much of it as they possibly can. Ain't it great!
Until humanity evolves past this lust for wealth and the incessant need for the acquisition and collection of useless junk we are doomed as a species. The dinosaurs got millions of years on the this planet. Humans won't make it past 100,000 years if we don't evolve past our greatest genetic flaw..........GREED.
Enlarge this, as shown by Swallwell and his CCP spy. China is very successfully invading this country by infiltration. Industrial espionage is a wink-wink item, being almost totally ignored by our government. How many of our Leftists and RINOs are directly being coached by the CCP?
“Show a little more patience. Won’t be long. The world will be a better place when this is over” — I doubt this very much, Jim. The nature of man (who keeps repeating history over and over) will not ever change.
Correct. And then Trump appeared and turned that old, cowardly apple cart on its head. Grab some popcorn, some vision, and then sit back and watch a master at work.
Given your comment and the quote from Jim's post, I reasonably assumed you were referring specifically to Iran. While it's true that Ecclesiastes tells us that there is nothing new under the sun meaning only that man will continue sinning, there have also been eras in which peace has been achieved. Trump is taking us into one of those times and pulling the rest of the world with him.
"While it's true that Ecclesiastes tells us that there is nothing new under the sun meaning only that man will continue sinning, there have also been eras in which peace has been achieved."
What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
It runs in cycles. If Trump succeeds in what he is trying to accomplish--a U.S. autarky with dozens and dozens of bi-lateral trade deals with sovereign nations that benefit both party's citizens--then my children and grandchildren will live in an American golden age.
Thune is McConnell's protege. Cocaine Mitch and the GOP Establishment despise Trump and his blue-collar supporters. In fact, they're even more vicious than Democrats in their attacks on Trump and his voters. Margaret Noonan, for example, is obsessed with attacking Trump, to the point that she could write a column about bird shit on her car and she'd spend half the column hammering Trump over some nonsense. Thune obviously is of the same mindset, so he's willing to allow the country be destroyed by Schumer, Warnock, and the rest of the gang. Better to let the Democrats erase Trump than have the GOP openly stop him and his initiatives, regardless how good they may be. Besides, if the GOP is out of power, they can become "principled critics" whose coffers will swell due to unhappy voters; then, with Trumpism gone, the Establishment can make a triumphant return. Apparently they don't understand that Democrats intend to execute them as "traitors" based solely on their party registration.
Sodom on Potomac is a very dangerous place for those that oppose globalism so we can see how extremely weak men like Thune simply choose to get paid rather than take a risk. It is disgusting when a supermajority of all Americans want voter ID and these fools oppose it.
That supermajority know that something is wrong with our government and are trying to do what they can to right the ship. To the DeepStaters in DC, it is a threat, big time.
Show a little more patience. Won’t be long. The world will be a better place when this is over.
Here we go again with the 5D chess card. “Patience, the great plan will be revealed unto ye in due time. oh, ye without the power of brain, cannot yet understand, and shall be revealed unto thee at the appropriate time that we so deem. Patience!“. And just how will the world be a better place? Prominent economists are already predicting that’s Europe and many other countries will be suffering from energy disruptions caused by this ridiculous, unnecessary and illegal war for years. Detail details, please on that “better world“.
You have more than sufficient cynicism to pillory the illusion of human progress but no faith or patience to inherit the promises of God and His inexorable progress.
That war is being fought to stop Iran’s very evident desire to control the flow of oil from the Gulf..
The USA is being, again, a sucker trying to protect the world from local despots. The world, like all children, must learn to take care of itself. Europe first, then the ME.
With so much trust in the plan and the MO of Trump, isn't it weird that you need a fundraiser to help the nurse? That not a single person was held accountable after the Covid fraud and Trump still bragging about warp speed? J6ers still in prison and crickets from the saviour? And then you think that the world will be a better place after the world is starved of energy and fertilizer (which reads conspicuously like the green agenda) and the Iranian people suffer more? But you also believe it is about "nukes" and the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas are genuine bad islamists that operate on zeal, because funding your own enemy is a strategy reserved for the lefty-left. Got it. 🤡
“Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson for clearly stating what needed to be said. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age".
When it comes to frontline medical workers being cancelled and/or imprisoned and/or bankrupted because they tried to help people during Covid, it’s a tragedy Chekhov would have written a great play about. And all the people who applauded the cancellations would weep while watching Chekhov’s play.
Note to commenters: I'm going to get a little more aggressive banishing the trolls here. Be careful flogging your Jew-hate and "Zionist" this-and-that.

Show me on this doll where the joo hurt you, Carlos?
Jew-hatred has become a kind of invisible litmus test, separating the sane from the insane.
Gwennie,
"Jew-hatred". Because I loathe what the state of Israel is doing, I am labelled? I also do not like what the government of the USA is doing...am I now anti-American?
Your litmus test is superficial.
The problem I have with your Gaza comment above is that you completely disregard the massacre the Palestinians inflicted on the Israeli kids on October 7, 2023. After this horrific event, Israel decided to do whatever it takes to remove the demons running Gaza (Hamas) from ever being able to do this again. Without recognizing this context, your voice is hollow.
Have you heard the theory that Israel knew of the attack beforehand and stood down to have justification later? It is kind of the same theory as to why the SPLC would fund the same hate groups it "fights"
I have heard this theory. True or false, it doesn't excuse the demonic activity that Hamas undertook.
Just one-sided. Hatred is ego driven, why do people have such a problem with others that have no effect on them?
Look inward for your answer.
And...are you suggesting that the issues in the middle east began on October 7, 2023? Were there no outrages before that date?
Context. The problems with your condemnation of Germany in WWII is to disregard the Polish destruction of the Reich Stag.
My voice might be hollow, but your comment strikes me as superficial. There is always an excuse...real or imagined.
Stated without facts.
The fact is, Jim has been magnanimous to a fault, allowing hateful misanthropes like Carlos to spew their murderous racist venom on his site. Much like Israel has shown massive tolerance in its neck of the woods, whereas its Islamic neighbors would put Carlos in jail, if not in his grave.
"Much like Israel has shown massive tolerance in its neck of the woods..."

Kunstler's so full of shit he's become a parody. Shades of late stage Biden and Trump beginning to emerge. Senility will do that for ya.
No one is forcing you to be here.
You really are a special kind of stupid. This Jew hate runs in cycles of stupidity.
Kind of like Islam hatred and hatred of Catholics. Where do you fit in chump?
It's our host's blog. He can do as he will. We have all been warned.
Yep, no more pointless anti-Israel drivel or stupid name calling. Not much to ask.
Stupid name calling needs to stop but I think we should be permitted to ask questions. I hope Mr. Kunstler doesn't start banning people for having opposing viewpoints or asking questions. If he does, I'm out of here. I appreciate apposing views. Helps me keep my mind open and enables me to consider points of view not considered before. Even points of view that I find offensive.

I just don’t get it. What am I missing here?
Anybody?
Because political parties and politicians represent themselves (their own interest) rather than public good. Politics is a zero-sum game.
The Deep Staters are pro central government above party.
Yes, but how is Thune’s obstruction “in his own interest”? He’s destroying his own reputation and his career in his own party, and Democrats will never accept him.
He still believes the "old guard" is in power, and will remain in place He is comfortable with convincing himself he is a "Senator" and can do these things.
Senators are aloof and above the damage their actions wreak on the people and country......or so they think.
Yes, and the filibuster rule of 61 votes makes the Senate a filter for supposed bi-partisanship. The real effect is that it gives them an excuse for doing nothing. The current state of affairs, a split electorate, 50-50, means nothing will pass.

This stuff makes my eyes want to bleed. What a mess.
There is a Uniparty and Thune is a member. He plays dumb with the best of them. I think he was voted as Senate Majority Leader by other U senators who want to stop Trump from doing what his voters want. McConnell Light.
What do you not understand? He's not representing the American people, Dutchmn007. He's representing something else entirely. When you consider his actions in this light, it's very easy to understand why he is doing what he is doing.
Easy, Deep State! The GOP is split by federalism, the belief that the people are of the government, by the government and for the government. These RINOs are more dangerous to the future of the USA than the Democrats as they occupy seats that should be anti-government. There are lots of them that want their cozy little empire in Washington DC without having to listen to their constituents.
Because John Thune is looking towards reelection. A lot of them are. They'll vote accordingly. That's why a number of republicans voted against the SAVE act. When you can't do anything else in life, you go into politics and begin to pad your way to becoming a millionaire.
Yep, the DeepState hates the SAVE act as it stops their machines from cheating. Deep Staters do not even want voting at all and consider elections a threat to themselves. Clean elections will be fought at all costs by these people, using legislative coverups to ameliorate the mass reactions. In a few words,
We are being had.
Most of Congress is populated by lawyers who failed at being lawyers......so they became lawmakers. Makes sense?
Thune is a disgrace. He is from South Dakota and in no way, shape or form do his actions reflect the wishes of his constituents. He 's the poster boy for revoking the 17th Amendment.He is clearly motivated by self interest. I'm sure there's more, but we already know what we need to know.
Your guess is as good as ours, but the over and under is that it can’t be good!
Thune represents (theoretically) South Dakota, a low population state with an economy smaller than many counties elsewhere. Trump could issue any number of executive orders targeting Thune’s state economy to exert pressure. Since most bank credit card operations are located there to exploit the state’s allowable usurious interest rates, just a wee temporary cap on credit card interest rates would persuade a substantial portion of their economy to consider a move to friendlier climes. There are other tactics, but since none are being deployed by the administration it seems logical to assume the administration is fine with the SAVE Act languishing in the senate.
Congress is hamstrung by TDS “Republicans”. Dems are solid, over and over. These RINOs are running the show, squelching Trump over and over.
The country voted in Trump and MAGA to stop what the Dems in Biden’s mob were doing. These RINOs are blocking just about everything.
Mr. Grove---my take on this is that it used to be possible to get elected in S. Dakota as a Dem/Marxist but as the party has gotten so crazy that most polite society cannot stomach voting for them so S. Dakota and other very very red states did not elect many Ds so........Ds tell everyone they are Rs and tout their C credentials and they vote with the Rs most of the time when they know their 1 vote will not defeat a bill. But..... when you have an idea or a bill that needs to get stopped ----- according to the Ds-----the mask falls off the RINOs and they line up to do everything in their power to stop a bill----of course they make up ridiculous excuses for why they will vote with the Ds. With Thune placed in this position of authority in the R party he actually can stop the bill and....... make sure that the Marxists retain their ability to fabricate votes which is one of the only ways that they can keep anything close to a majority. This is a make or break moment for the Marxists and Thune delivers for the Marxists so his pics with a goat or some other malfeasance is not exposed. Equally he has kept the Senate in session so Trump cannot get any judges or Executive appointments in place during the time the Senate is out of session. I am quite surprised that Trump has not lambasted Thune just about this horrible action but.....maybe he wanted to get the Save Act passed first. Hopefully the fine citizens of S. Dakota will wise up and vote him out but......I understand he has an enormous war chest so there is probably no way to get him out next election or even the one after that.
And....one question Mr. Grove. Do you happen to live in or around Grove City Ohio ? Nice to have a city named after you.
Good post. Could it be that the Senate leadership has TDS requirements? To get the RINO votes in the majority, do they have to be anti-Trump to get elected?
It wouldn't surprise me if Thune has a pair of fireman's boots that he uses with his favorite sheep.
That’s exactly what I want to know!
It is stunning to behold. Most likely the man likes little children. I don't know what can be worse in America today. Adultery? Americans don't give a damn. Fornication? It's the standard means of making babies today. Elder abuse? Nobody cares. Corruption in government? Pfft. Sexual perversions such as homosexuality? Old news. Hell, even murder isn't really condemned like it used to be. So, what's left?
Whatever it is, its powerful enough to make this worthless fucker betray his people and his posterity. Way to go SOUTH DAKOTA!
Sexual deviation? It seems to be normal social interplayntoday.
Yeah, anything goes today. Except pedophilia. Americans are still largely opposed to this filth. I don't believe the elites are, however.
I know you don't believe in this, Cankerpuss, but after this comes judgment. Most of them will likely not survive the tribulation. Those that do will pray to the mountains to fall on them to hide them from Jesus' return.
Why do you think I don't believe that, Kathy? I'm a Christian. I have accepted Christ as my Savior and I strive to live my life according to his teachings.
I don't like churches because churches always have a "strong man" who claims he is entitled to special revelation that the rest of us peons are not entitled to.
I struggle with the amount of deference God gives to the wicked and filthy at the expense of the decent and the innocent. Not only does he give plenty of deference he permits them and their posterity to THRIVE and PROSPER. It is baffling to me.
How bad does the world truly have to be before God moves the mountains on top of them to hide their sins?
"I struggle with the amount of deference God gives to the wicked and filthy" - It would be nice to have God, as depicted in Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam", on occasion, to point his finger away from Adam and strike down a few of the most egregious actors in our midst.
He's done it before. There are reports that there was a great flood......
For some reason he doesn't do it anymore.
"strike down a few of the most egregious actors in our midst"
Ezinmn,
Yessssssssss...we need a Golem. When logic and words do not suffice, kill them.
I know it's hard to watch, Cankerpuss, believe me I do. But that's where faith comes in. God knows things we don't, right? And He deals not only with nations but with individuals. And He's not willing that any should perish, so He gives people as much time as He can to repent, but everyone has an "appointed time." When the judgment comes, however, it is swift and terrible.
"no man knoweth the hour of his coming."
Because of this I can't spend my days looking forward to and hoping that one day he comes back and saves us from the rampant wickedness of the world. Nobody knows. So, I just do my best to live a good life and try to not think about or hope that he's coming soon. It's futile.
Porn website viewing data?
Phone hacked with csam?
Porn websites? Porn is a billion dollar industry in America today. Everyone looks at porn. Naw, porn wouldn't be enough to make him betray everything and everyone he holds dear. Child porn, that might do it. The general public still has a distaste for child abuse and child porn (unless you are a woman who wants to mutilate your child to change its gender).
Our next 250 years of our History Senator John Thune could very well replace Ole Benedict Arnold as our Nations Biggest Traitor.
He has precious little time to redeem himself before the history books and all school children will be taught his name and his overarching dereliction of his duties representing his Constituents his Country and his Party!
Rand Paul is starting to rise to the top. Are we seeing folks testing the waters for runs in 2028?
"Carlos" is banned for 30 days.
Carlos. it’s never a good idea to touch the flame twice to double check if it was really that hot.
I have ThDS. Thune Derangement Syndrome. He is obviously overseeing some kind of deep state rear guard action for someone or something outside the view of us peons. His actions certainly do not reflect what the guy in the driver's seat should be doing for his "party." He is refusing to adjourn the Senate, always leaving a couple of Senators to hold a quick morning 'session" wherein obscure Senator A comes in and calls the Senate into session, with obscure Senator B immediately motioning to adjourn for the day. This filthy stunt has prevented Trump from making any recess appointments which can be made when the Senate is "out of session." He is nothing more than a younger, better looking version of Mitch McConnell, although I must say he appears to have aged five or ten years over this past year.
Corruption will do that to you. Quicker than booze.
This Spanberger woman - I really cannot understand how someone can shamelessly lie to the public in order to gain power. Sure, it's happened before, but this blatantly? Is she really a product of an American family with normal upbringing? How is someone like that spawned? And was she assured that she would be able to get away with her malfeasance?
She is former CIA....What's hard to understand....they are trained liars....part of the job description....Mark Groubert is right....never vote for someone with CIA in their resume.
Mr. Dave----easy for me to understand. She is a politician. And.....She is a D/Marxist. Most of them are so used to lying that sometimes they even lie when the truth would be better. I am sure she probably adores Hillary. I can remember when Hillary called Trump a liar in 2016 and when I heard that I almost fell over because her and her husband are some of the worst liars in the world but........Bill is better at it because he can almost convince someone he is telling the truth even when you are expecting him to lie.
Could she be like the first black president? Totally manufactured. She was a do nothing representative. Some are saying this amendment vote will be her downfall, that she is the big loser. The public is the loser until this voting theft is brought under control.
Obama was the second black president, Bill Clinton being the first, according to Toni Morrison.
Obama was half black. A point that should always be emphasized. His other half was white. Why the white half is always ignored is interesting. As if it doesn't matter.
CP, prior to the civil war, blackness was determined by the percentage of black ancestors one had. I believe that folks with 1/8 black ancestry were considered Black. It was very important in the South.
I do think that certain folks today still consider Black ancestry to classify people today. I will guarantee you that the NAACP and BLM consider Obama to be Black.
This is the perfect example of the self hating Jew. The American Marxist spoiled brat non practicing self hating American jap. These are Israel’s worst enemies, because they destroy like a parasite. And then there’s idiots like tom, and Carlos, who are just idiots.
According to biographical information, Spanberger isn’t Jewish.
When you have no conscience, it's easy.
The gimme mentality is strong in northern Virginia, where the cretins in the federal bureaucracy live. Gimmes vote for anyone that promises a free ride on the government.
Glad you're doing something about the trolls, etc. The Psalms and Proverbs carry many verses advising to avoid fools/stupid people as they just waste your time and can't be convinced of anything.
Jesus
“There will be many false prophets”.
"he Psalms and Proverbs carry many verses advising to avoid fools/stupid people as they just waste your time and can't be convinced of anything."
Ezekiel 25:17
Coffee and JHK. President Trump has a cannon quietly moving into position for the midterms that Thune is sabotaging for the possible, usual hefty Xi check. Thank you for helping the heroic midwife, btw.
It is an interesting juxtaposition, Spanberger and Kathleen Breault, toxic femininity and real, life-giving female power, shielding patients and their babies.
Amen
No doubt money is behind it. Money is behind everything that is done, good or bad. That's the world we live in. Money is everything and people will do anything to hoard as much of it as they possibly can. Ain't it great!
Until humanity evolves past this lust for wealth and the incessant need for the acquisition and collection of useless junk we are doomed as a species. The dinosaurs got millions of years on the this planet. Humans won't make it past 100,000 years if we don't evolve past our greatest genetic flaw..........GREED.
1. Power. 2. Ethnocentrism 3. Greed. All animal instincts, all sins.
Do you know of actual evidence showing that Thune is taking CCP money? Asking sincerely. I’m with those who want to get to the bottom of this.
Enlarge this, as shown by Swallwell and his CCP spy. China is very successfully invading this country by infiltration. Industrial espionage is a wink-wink item, being almost totally ignored by our government. How many of our Leftists and RINOs are directly being coached by the CCP?
It is baffling that foreign money is permitted to influence our elections. That money never helps the country and its citizens, only the politicians.
👍 I suspect that a pointy black hat on Abigail Spanberger would make her look like the Wicked Witch 🧙♀️ of the East!
Suspect? She’d be a dead ringer!
I think Whitmer has her beat for that.
Whitmer is the closest to the witch of the Wizard of Oz that I've ever seen.
Holchul?
“Show a little more patience. Won’t be long. The world will be a better place when this is over” — I doubt this very much, Jim. The nature of man (who keeps repeating history over and over) will not ever change.
Correct. And then Trump appeared and turned that old, cowardly apple cart on its head. Grab some popcorn, some vision, and then sit back and watch a master at work.
To God be the glory. He is judging the nations, none excluded.
Iran is provably not another forever war. Trump will end it and shortly. That era has ended. You'll see.
My comment was not limited to Iran.
Given your comment and the quote from Jim's post, I reasonably assumed you were referring specifically to Iran. While it's true that Ecclesiastes tells us that there is nothing new under the sun meaning only that man will continue sinning, there have also been eras in which peace has been achieved. Trump is taking us into one of those times and pulling the rest of the world with him.
"While it's true that Ecclesiastes tells us that there is nothing new under the sun meaning only that man will continue sinning, there have also been eras in which peace has been achieved."
Ezekiel 25:17.
Those words should make you fear, not gloat.
Now, read Romans 3:9-18:
What shall we conclude then? Do we have any advantage? Not at all! For we have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under the power of sin. 10 As it is written:
“There is no one righteous, not even one;
11 there is no one who understands;
there is no one who seeks God.
12 All have turned away,
they have together become worthless;
there is no one who does good,
not even one.”
13 “Their throats are open graves;
their tongues practice deceit.”
“The poison of vipers is on their lips.”
14 “Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness.”
15 “Their feet are swift to shed blood;
16 ruin and misery mark their ways,
17 and the way of peace they do not know.”
18 “There is no fear of God before their eyes.”
A good description of Washington DC.
"2 more weeks to flatten the curve"....err...I mean, flatten Iran
It runs in cycles. If Trump succeeds in what he is trying to accomplish--a U.S. autarky with dozens and dozens of bi-lateral trade deals with sovereign nations that benefit both party's citizens--then my children and grandchildren will live in an American golden age.
Thune is McConnell's protege. Cocaine Mitch and the GOP Establishment despise Trump and his blue-collar supporters. In fact, they're even more vicious than Democrats in their attacks on Trump and his voters. Margaret Noonan, for example, is obsessed with attacking Trump, to the point that she could write a column about bird shit on her car and she'd spend half the column hammering Trump over some nonsense. Thune obviously is of the same mindset, so he's willing to allow the country be destroyed by Schumer, Warnock, and the rest of the gang. Better to let the Democrats erase Trump than have the GOP openly stop him and his initiatives, regardless how good they may be. Besides, if the GOP is out of power, they can become "principled critics" whose coffers will swell due to unhappy voters; then, with Trumpism gone, the Establishment can make a triumphant return. Apparently they don't understand that Democrats intend to execute them as "traitors" based solely on their party registration.
"former CIA analyst Abigail Spanberger"
"FORMER" 🤣
Totally agree on Iran. They are the misfit tool of the globalists(dependence) based in the City of London.
https://nofilterjustfacts.substack.com/p/city-of-london-hidden-power
Sodom on Potomac is a very dangerous place for those that oppose globalism so we can see how extremely weak men like Thune simply choose to get paid rather than take a risk. It is disgusting when a supermajority of all Americans want voter ID and these fools oppose it.
That supermajority know that something is wrong with our government and are trying to do what they can to right the ship. To the DeepStaters in DC, it is a threat, big time.
Show a little more patience. Won’t be long. The world will be a better place when this is over.
Here we go again with the 5D chess card. “Patience, the great plan will be revealed unto ye in due time. oh, ye without the power of brain, cannot yet understand, and shall be revealed unto thee at the appropriate time that we so deem. Patience!“. And just how will the world be a better place? Prominent economists are already predicting that’s Europe and many other countries will be suffering from energy disruptions caused by this ridiculous, unnecessary and illegal war for years. Detail details, please on that “better world“.
Europe suffers self imposed energy disruptions. The “Green” energy replacement theory has proven to be a disaster.
Spain seems to be faring pretty well through this.
Making great headway in a return to subjugation under the caliphate.
You have more than sufficient cynicism to pillory the illusion of human progress but no faith or patience to inherit the promises of God and His inexorable progress.
That war is being fought to stop Iran’s very evident desire to control the flow of oil from the Gulf..
The USA is being, again, a sucker trying to protect the world from local despots. The world, like all children, must learn to take care of itself. Europe first, then the ME.
And that girl school had to be flattened during school hours for the master plan to work.
After the regime put a missile factory next door to that school. You are beating a dead horse here.
With so much trust in the plan and the MO of Trump, isn't it weird that you need a fundraiser to help the nurse? That not a single person was held accountable after the Covid fraud and Trump still bragging about warp speed? J6ers still in prison and crickets from the saviour? And then you think that the world will be a better place after the world is starved of energy and fertilizer (which reads conspicuously like the green agenda) and the Iranian people suffer more? But you also believe it is about "nukes" and the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas are genuine bad islamists that operate on zeal, because funding your own enemy is a strategy reserved for the lefty-left. Got it. 🤡
No j6 prisoners remaining, so that’s a lie.
Woah worse grammar and punctuation than me! Just say that last run on sentence out loud.
But he posted his pic at the end so I give him snaps for self-awareness
Reminds me of this quote from an old movie:
“Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to Gabby Johnson for clearly stating what needed to be said. Not only was it authentic frontier gibberish, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age".
When it comes to frontline medical workers being cancelled and/or imprisoned and/or bankrupted because they tried to help people during Covid, it’s a tragedy Chekhov would have written a great play about. And all the people who applauded the cancellations would weep while watching Chekhov’s play.
