In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.
“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”
“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”
This thread will refresh daily and appear above the Open Discussion Thread.
Whenever the possibility presents, throw sand into the machinery…

two days ago- spokesperson tells media, “Mitch is well and eager to get out of hospital”.
One day ago- spokesperson tells media, “Mitch is well and eager to get out of hospital”….repeated.
today. No word that turtle Mitch is going home yet.
I think he had a stroke and they are hiding it. People get released rom hospital a day after heart surgery, and more than overnight for a concussion seems extreme at this point.
Mitch doesn’t want to be Senate majority leader and have a Republican majority (He might be expected to do something!) so he took a dive! LOL
i had open heart and spent eleven days in the hospital, five in icu. it doesn’t always go as planned. not carrying water for the turtle you understand. kentucky has had ample time to figure this jaybird out.
Agreed. But they are not telling us hw had any surgery. Would be nice if they would be honest.
I had open Heart surgery and it took a week of recovery before I went home.. I did suffer a collapsed lung during the procedure.
i had blood in both lungs. almost took a dirt dive. glad we both survived.
Hi Treepers, my 5th grade son has a report on Truman and I’m wondering if any of you can point me in the right direction to look up some real history- not the revisionist one that places Truman as the 5th best president of all time 🙄
i have him as four best.
7….nixon
6….trump
5….coolidge
4….truman
3….eisenhower
2….reagan
1….washington
I’ve also seen Truman on a top 3 list while searching today
Only a revisionist history lover would leave Abraham Lincoln off that list. What a joke! Coolidge, Nixon and Truman ahead of Abraham Lincoln. Why don’t you put Jefferson Davis up there?
Too much for a 5th grader but here is a great source on FDR and Truman.
The 817 page, well indexed and footnoted, biography and political experience of Major general William J. Donovan, “Wild Bill Donovan”, founder of the OSS.
General Donovan was the most highly decorated American officer of World War I. He received our nation’s top four medals, including the Medal of Honor for action in France in 1918.
In reading this Anthony Cave Brown book, you will learn about the real FDR and more than enough about the real Truman ….. it is not what you generally read about the two liberal democrats of the time.
Thank you!
CTH is the ultimate Master Class.
Anyone who drums up a list of the top 7 US Presidents and DOESN’T have Abraham Lincoln on it knows nothing of American History. 7 top Presidents with ONE out of 4 of the Mount Rushmore Presidents and ONE out of that list of 7 with a Washington DC Memorial.
Why go to an Ivy League college for revisionist history when you can get it here for free?
There is a presidential series out there for Middle and High school… I’m trying to find it but without much luck. If I find it i will post it.
Well, Roosevelt basically wanted an independent Indochina. Where Truman stepped in and supported the French occupation. Henceforth, Dien Bien Phu, Ho Chi Minh and the Vietnam War, or the Second Indochina War.
No question Truman wanted McArthur out of Korea after his remarks of atomic/nuclear confrontation with China. Interesting because Patton got in hot water for basically saying let’s fight the Russians while we have the army here. Both put out to pasture.
Oops, should be under Tiffthis.
My mom told me that she could hear the wailing and cries of her sister all night long and into the next day after learning of the death of her childhood sweet heart and husband in the Pacific.
My mom lived 3 floors below her sister in a pre war apartment building with solid concretes floor a foot thick in an area called Yorkville in New York city.
On August 6, 1945 they were all together when they heard the news. They wept for hours.
When ever my mom spoke about the war, she talked about Truman’s statement following the first atom bomb attack on Japan. My mom loved him.
“We are now prepared to obliterate more rapidly and completely every productive enterprise the Japanese have above ground in any city. We shall destroy their docks, their factories, and their communications. Let there be no mistake; we shall completely destroy Japan’s power to make war”
I read both Plain Speaking/Merle Miller and Truman/David McCullough both good reads.
There’s a great story in the books on the day they dropped the bomb Truman went to the residence in the White House had a highball with Bess and went to bed and slept soundly.
“The buck stops here”
He was a character.
“Truman as the 5th best president of all time”
Was he? Consider these facts …
Truman was a self-described Democratic Socialist. I personally think Truman was every bit as much a Fabian Socialist (i.e., communist) as FDR. He was just better at disguising his communist leanings. But once he was elected, he and his “New Deal Coalition” continued as many of FDR’s New Deal programs as he could. He also started additional programs that the Fabian Society had wanted enacted. Indeed, Truman was as beholden to Fabian Socialists as FDR.
In 1947, leaders from the American Fabian Socialist movement helped found a political organization called Americans for Democratic Action (ADA). In presidential election of 1948, when most experts had written off Truman’s chances. ADA stepped in and coordinated the efforts of local AFL and CIO unions, organized college campuses through the Students for Democratic Action, and had ADA volunteers working precincts. And as a result, not only did Truman win, but 79 representatives endorsed by the ADA were elected to Congress, nine of whom were declared ADA members.
In 1949 Truman put forward a set of 21 proposals he called the Fair Deal, which continued and expanded the New Deal. Many were items specifically identified as needed by earlier Fabian Socialists. And it’s not a coincidence that he used the term Fair Deal for his program. Fabian Socialists in England created the idea of “Fair Shares”. Indeed, here’s a Fabian Society publication from 1950 ( https://digital.library.lse.ac.uk/objects/lse:buf469fob ) that contains a lecture which states “Fair shares is one of the vital concepts of British Socialism.” Now you know where Truman got his Fair Deal name … from the same place that FDR got his New Deal name … from Fabian Socialists.
And as Edward R. Annis, a past president of the American Medical Association, wrote “Surely it was no coincidence that Truman would address Congress with an eleven-item wish list, and that eight of those items would appear on the platform adopted at the ADA annual convention. And surely it was no coincidence that the most sweeping proposal on that wish list and on the ADA platform was a renewed call for socialized medicine through national health insurance, and that the same proposal had first appeared two decades before on the platform of the Socialist party of America.” And before that, in the list of things the Fabian Society wanted enacted.
During FDR’s term, Hoover went to the Whitehouse and gave FDR hard evidence of communist infiltration in the US government. He was ignored. In 1946 Hoover again went to the White House, this time providing Harry Truman with a list of known Communists and sympathizers still in the government. Truman’s response was: “What am I going to do? Give those @#%&* Republicans up on the Hill something to bash me with?” He wasn’t interested in getting the communists out of our government.
In fact, John Beaty, in his 1951 book, “The Iron Curtain Over America”, said there were 7 people who share the most responsibility for establishing the communist grip on the world. They were Marx, Engels, Trotsky, Lenin, Stalin, FDR and Truman. I think he should have replaced Truman with Sidney Webb, but Truman would still be number eight on that list.
Bottom line is that I think every single democRAT President, from Woodrow Wilson on, should be suspect, Truman included. ALL of them had connections to the Fabian Society … a communist organization which has successfully transformed America into what it’s become … a potential nightmare.
Sorry to burst your bubble.
You didn’t burst my bubble- what I posted is what’s out on the internet with a quick search- nothing of my own opinion. I thank you for the informative tidbits on Truman as well 👍🏼
It’s the same thing with Teddy Roosevelt. When you look deeper, you find he’s not quite the role model that many conservatives believe him to be. He was a communist. So I guess I should amend my earlier statement and say every democRAT since Teddy is now suspect. And n0w that Fabianism has infected the Republican Party leadership as well, starting with the Bushes, we’re going to have to be just as careful with them.
Often given credit for taking us out of the Depression. Just look at unemployment rates in the country until after WWII. I think it would give most pause when they find the truth.

“It’s As Bad As We Thought”: CCP Money Flowed To Biden Family According Bank Records, Documents Obtained By House GOP
MAR 12, 2023
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/its-bad-we-thought-ccp-money-flowed-biden-family-according-bank-records-documents
Republicans on the House Oversight Committee have been working with four witnesses with close ties to the Bidens, who have provided documents and other evidence tying the Bidens to the Chinese Communist Party.
“It’s as bad as we thought… Since we’ve last spoken we have bank records in hand. We have individuals who are working with our committee,” Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.”
“In the last two weeks we’ve met with either these individuals personally or with their attorneys. And that would be four individuals who had ties in with the Biden family in their various schemes around the world. So now we have in hand documents We have in hand documents in hand that show just how the Biden family was getting money from the Chinese Communist Party.”
Example of a lukewarm defender.

To all MAGAs.
Now that the turtle has fallen off of the fence post, it is time to start the process of picking his replacement in the senate leadership.
He may not vacate his seat with this “fall off of the post”, but it is just a matter of time before he will vacate his leadership seat.
No doubt the senate’s good-ol’-boy system has someone to put in his place to protect the RINO GOPe gang.
We have to be ready to reject that selection and have a MEGA MAGA senator ready to support.
“Let’s go Brandon, the democrats and the GOPe!”
John Thune is the GOPe chosen replacement.
There are good-o’-boy “rules” in place and I believe you are right that RINO/GOPe Senator Thune would probably be the GOPe’s choice to replace the turtle.
But rules are made to be changed.
We can’t let the GOPe take away our chance to change the leadership in the senate to MAGA/America First.
“We the people” are in charge of the republican party in 2023.
The MAGA/America First movement has the numerical, economic, moral, intellect and armed majorities in America and the best leader President Trump.
The leader of the republican party in the senate must be a MAGA/America First senator, not some RINO/GOPe lifer.
That is only fair and just.
Line up and support the MAGA wing of the senate to put a MAGA/America First senator in the turtle’s place.
Call and write your state’s senators.
It will be the next great fight MAGA/America First will win.
First we took the house leadership, now we take the senate leadership.
“Let’s go Brandon and the democrats and the GOPe!”
You make it sound like we get to choose our leaders.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Our choices are subject to the swamps veto, just like when the MAJORITY of the country voted for PRESIDENT TRUMP!
Nope, not allowed.

I lasted about 40 minutes. I’ve only seen one movie in the theatre this year (I hated it ). But trying to give hollrywood a chance. When a pretty women in red dress came out announcing “for all people who claim to be woman” …… I barfed an shut them down. Women Are a a gift created by God to birth The next generation and mother them with great care. While many people are caring individuals and can do good things they are not able to fake the persona of sacred women , mothers , created by God. Putting on the clothing of women or copying their body parts doses not make one a woman. Only the honored of women become mothers and many women who cannot birth a child may adopt and mother a child. The devaluing of women in today’s world where men are cheered in upsurping Gods favored status in his creation is vile to me. Our society and the world must uphold them as special. Men who are unhappy in the person God made them should not take away status and the honor of women. I can appreciate many cultures and nationalities being honor for recognition in our shared media world but , I will not dishonor the women by praising a man.
hahaha! I would give my kingdom 😎

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/georgias-pm-calls-ukraines-zelenskiy-not-interfere-georgia-affairs-2023-03-13/?rpc=401&
March 13 (Reuters) – Georgian’s prime minister, Irakli Garibashvili, called on Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Sunday to not interfere in the political situation in Georgia, after a wave of protests hit the country last week.
During the protests against a “foreign agents” law that critics said signalled an authoritarian shift in Georgia, Zelenskiy thanked protesters for waving Ukrainian flag, saying it showed respect and wished the country a “democratic success”.
The Georgian parliament on Friday dropped the bill, which opponents said was inspired by a 2012 Russian law that has been used extensively to crack down on dissent for the past decade and which had threatened to harm Georgia’s bid for closer ties with Europe.
“When a person who is at war… responds to the destructive action of several thousand people here in Georgia, this is direct evidence that this person is involved, motivated to make something happen here too, to change,” Garibashvili said in an interview with the Georgian IMEDI television, according to Reuters’ translation of the transcript.
Referring to the war in Ukraine, Garibashvili said, “I want to wish everyone a timely end to this war, and peace.”
The foreign agent law was an attempted response to the State Dept/CIA using “NGO’s” to meddle in Georgia’s democracy by funding extremist groups and “mostly peaceful protesters” to put pressure on government officials that place Georgia’s interests above the interests of the west.
They recognized the same tactics being used in Georgia recently that they witnessed when the U.S. conducted it’s coup in Ukraine in 2014.
That’s when the U.S. government used NGO’s to push out the people’s democratically elected government and replaced them with the swamp’s puppet.
The law would’ve required that only the NGO’s that were founded outside of Georgia and receiving more than 20% of it’s funding from foreign sources must register as a foreign agent.
The State Dept/CIA’s covert activities in Georgia would’ve been made transparent and public, making it harder for West to use the same playbook in Georgia that was used in Ukraine.
Makes sense that zelensky would object to Georgia’s government not wanting to become another Ukraine.
And at the end they laugh?? What a joke.
And it seems pathetic without guns of any kind.
