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…

NEW: Special Counsel Jack Smith has enlisted disgruntled Tucker Carlson producer Abby Grossman in his investigation of Trump & the 2020 election. Smith is said to be seeking info about Carlson’s contacts w/ Trump & his legal team. (If only John Durham had been so scorched-earth!)

Today the limits on twitter aka SD oracle’s ‘not sustainable’ paradigm. All it means is more accounts will get created which is COUNTER the profit issues. teehee.
And the crowd shouted:

USA!USA!USA!USA!USA!USA! USA!USA!USA!USA!USA!USA!USA! USA!USA!USA!

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A PRESIDENT TRUMP RALLY!!!!!
Tenured professor suspended for handing out “anti-trans” chocolate.
https://www.thecollegefix.com/professor-suspended-for-handing-out-jeremys-chocolate-remains-on-leave/
This is in Kern County, a very conservative California county. The chocolate apparently was labeled she/her for plain and he/him for chocolate with nuts. Most of the students probably thought it was hilarious.
The problem is that colleges and universities are Trojan horses of Woke in every city and state they inhabit. Even the local community college which is where this guy teaches. He is also tenured–and this is important. An adjunct would have been thrown out immediately–a quick hire to take over his/her class and no help from the union. (They don’t like defending adjuncts.) But a tenured community college prof? Under normal circumstances, you can’t get these tenured guys out with a jackhammer. But offend a guy in a dress and it’s all over.
Post Script: The prof in trouble is gay.

Officer outlines some of the disgusting child / infant porn found in possession of a married Disney worker depicting kids & even infants being bound and sexually abused.
Sorry I asked…..
But thanks.
I worked with people like this who were already involved in the criminal Justice system and there is no cure for this behavior.
They will never stop.
One strike and they need to be forever removed from society…. one way or another.
I believe that this is the press conference that is on the twitter post above.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office is searching for children who may have been sexually victimized after detectives arrested eight men, including a Disney employee, for child pornography.

If any of this is proven to be true, I’m OK with the death penalty if any victims were under the age of consent. That is how you nip this sickness in the bud.
“Sound of Freedom” is a movie playing now. I recommend it.
We cannot run from the sick and tragic reality of child sex abuse and child trafficking.
The U.S. is hugely guilty of the continuing, growing, horrific, and tragic child sex trafficking which is a huge industry comparable to $$$$ profited in the illegal drug trade.
Support this movie — learn what is going on.
As a moral and faithful community, we must see to it that our children are no longer tortured.

Don’t know if it has been mentioned, but a powerful presentation on War Room today regarding manipulation of voter roles in AZ and other states.
Said this information was not presented at the Kari Lake trial. That they mainly used the signature matching fraud.
The presenter on War Room was Jay Valentine with reference to Omega4America. I haven’t reviewed the site yet.
Documented changes to voter roles beyond the cut off dates.
It seems this voter role mainipulation may be the biggest portion of the Dem fraud system. Along with the huge harvesting operation.
Of course. Hundreds or thousands of voters are added to the rolls just before an election and vanish afterward.
This Twitter mess is a jack boot censorship move. Limiting and or shutting down the ability to challenge the Narrative for 2024
Maybe a trick to entice PDJT to return?
Yes, i think Trump possible return is part of this. Maybe seeing how many folks join Twitter without him active. Then he gets active (i think his account has been reinstated) and see how many join then. I would think it might go parabolic.
How on earth could this possibly influence Trump to return to Twitter???
More than likely, it will influence Trump to avoid returning to Twitter…
There seems to be a big fight going on at BB over the Desantis ad, some say its good and they will now vote for him and others see it as sick and disjointed I see it as sick and he is doing all he can to harm President Trump and his supporters
He, or they?
Koch, Bush etc.
Anyone who says they’ll vote for Ron because of that ad == part of Christina Pushaws Team Ron Internet Brigade of meatbots and bots.
NPR has a “scary” report on what happened when California passed Prop 209 back in the late 90s, ending affirmative action in college admissions.
https://www.npr.org/2023/06/30/1185226895/heres-what-happened-when-affirmative-action-ended-at-california-public-colleges
“…Here’s the upshot: A quarter-century after California banned race-based admissions at public universities, school officials say they haven’t been able to meet their diversity and equity goals — despite more than a half billion dollars spent on outreach and alternative admissions standards.”
In other words, they haven’t been able to jam in the unqualified. Now why did that happen?
“That year, enrollment among Black and Latino students at UCLA and UC Berkeley fell by 40%, according to a 2020 study by Bleemer. As a result of the ban, Bleemer found that Black and Latino students who might have gotten into those two top schools enrolled at less competitive campuses.”
So, minority students still went to UC, they just went to UC Riverside (less competitive), not UCLA. So these minority students CHOSE different campuses of the University of California, ones at which they thought they were more likely to get in (without racial quotas) and where they stood a much better chance of succeeding.
That’s minority students being realistic. Yes, UCLA and Berkeley might have accepted these students–not for their own good, but for “diversity goals”–but these students may not have graduated from these institutions. This is a common problem. Look up “mismatch theory”. These minority students actually acted in their own best interests and not the elite UCs interests.
NPR cites a study that claims that these students will, overall, make 5% less money than if they had graduated from UC Berkeley. That might be true, assuming they graduated from Berkeley or UCLA and didn’t drop out, which many minority students do.
The article goes on to quote a diversity/inclusion administrative type saying that minority students don’t want to attend a college without a “critical mass” of minority students, but fails to say what that is. Even in they heyday before prop 209, the numbers of black students were quite low. And the number of black professors is even lower: about 1% at UCSD, an elite STEM campus in La Jolla,
The 5% loss in income is not really explained, although there is an implication that minority students’ salaries have been followed for 15 or 20 years. The difference of 5% is small and might be easily explained by choice of major (Black Studies, communications, education). It could also be explained by other life choices such as choice of city, geographic region, or type of employment.
NPR goes on to talk about what Calfornia did. These things included:
**Promising top-performing students in state high schools guaranteed acceptance to a UC campus. This means that a top student in a great school system and a top student in a disaster area like LAUSD got the same guarantee. Those As are not equivalent, of course. However, assuming the parents are state residents paying some kind of tax, there is a justification for it.
**Taking a “comprehensive” view of the student–i.e. ignoring test scores and looking at “lived experience” and “special skills”.However, even these measures didn’t work. Finally in 2020, the UC system STOPPED looking at SAT/ACT scores entirely. No student applying to a UC has to take the SAT or ACT.
For those that don’t know, the College Board Exam (later the SAT) was developed specifically to combat discrimination against Jews in university admissions. The SAT is actually an anti-discrimination tool, which is now seen as discriminatory.
NPR ends the article by bemoaning that the UCs are still not meeting their admissions goals. Perhaps, minority college students are smarter than UC gives them credit for being. If they go to schools where their skills are a better fit, they are far less likely to fail our, drop out, or, at best, feel overwhelmed.
Let’s see what happens with this SCOTUS decision.
“…So, minority students still went to UC, they just went to UC Riverside (less competitive), not UCLA. So these minority students CHOSE different campuses of the University of California, ones at which they thought they were more likely to get in (without racial quotas) and where they stood a much better chance of succeeding…”
Just as the non-favored students did. They went on with their lives.
Here’s a good video talking about the range of issues:
The first guest Jason Riley speaks directly to this results at UCs.
Overall, black enrollment at UCs overall and graduation went up.
Will take a look. Thanks. Jason Riley is a sharp guy.
Jason Riley is talking about mismatch theory and all of the studies that show the same thing: if the black students have the required SAT scores for the school, they will do as well as everyone else with the same scores. When they have lower scores–especially in the lower third of all students–they will fail out.
As Riley puts it, “What’s the use of dropping out of MIT when you could have a degree from UC Santa Barbara?” EXACTLY!
And the difference of 5% in lifetime earnings can be made up for by not having the student loan debt and the everlasting compound interest that goes with it.
This is good:
16:12 about California: “After the University of California ended racial–racially-based college admissions policies, black graduation rates went up.”
BOOM!
I understand why people want to keep AA… but I think it’s clear that there is neither any evidence it helps and it’s clearly discriminatory against non-targeted groups.
I think it all goes back to the public education system being the problem.
And Riley mentions that.
The K-12 system has been destroyed in many large cities by schools of education and their “theories” which are just unsupported ideas from non-logical thinkers who are typically at the lower end of the test score percentiles themselves. (There’s actual research on that.)
We need to get rid of the “theories” and get back to teaching subjects by breaking them down into manageable bits and then putting the whole thing together: analysis and synthesis. Forget this “learning styles” crap that has been utterly debunked by neuroscience but is still used in all teacher training. And forget about 89 genders, condoms on bananas and race as a bludgeon. Just teach math.

I really do think students know they are being fed BS.
They just can’t do much about it. For instance, if everyone is going to pretend during the year that they were online and “learning” why are they going to rock the boat. Adults pretend not to see nothing is happening and students play along.
Then, afterwards, the adults go, “Oh there are big learning gaps – you can’t test them!”

The second half of this video is about legislation to remove custody from parents who don’t “gender affirm”. The women who have come on to speak about this call it a “kidnapping” bill and I think this is right.

RFK Jr. Throws Moms for Liberty Under the Woke School Bus, Touts Pro-LGBTQ Stance (PJ Media)
(Alert Treepers on CTH have been warning others to not think RFK Jr. is a viable candidate for president just because he has he has bravely exposed the dangers and fraud behind the vaccine / Big Pharma industry. In other social topics, he’s as looney a radical kook as all the rest are on the Left.
Ref. https://catherinesalgado.substack.com/p/rfk-jr-throws-moms-for-liberty-under?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
Trojan horse.
I wonder if he feels the same way about lobotomies.
Touché
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Kennedy#Lobotomy
Side note…
“The group Kennedy rejected was Moms for Liberty, which just held a summit featuring 2024 Republican presidential candidates Donald Trump, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Ron DeSantis.”
This is quite impressive… Moms For Liberty has only been around for a couple years.
Is Moms for Liberty anti-gay rights? I thought they were just against porn in elementary schools, etc. and pro Parental Rights over their young kids. Listen to how the Left is framing them:
I think they are against gay lifestyle lessons being shoved down our children’s throats in public education and entertainment. I’m fine with that.
IMHO sexual lifestyle discussions belong behind home closed doors in private and only when parents feel their children are mature enough to understand right vs. wrong in proper context with accurate faith-based doctrine.
That distinction is not being made clear. I’m sure that is the whole reason the transgender-code-for-transhumanism pushers usurped the gay civil rights movement – maybe they actually started it, laid low until legitimacy achieved, then revealed the ultimate T agenda by bringing it out into the open claiming said legitimacy for itself; IDK that’s possible. I know this chemical endocrine manipulation has been going on for over half a century and it seems the perpetrators of it are all up in the middle of this agenda now… so they probably have been all along.
“Better Living Through Chemistry” is about 3/4 of a century old now.
This is not specifically about RFKII… most everyone has this problem… though he’s demonstrating a perfect example of not knowing the difference.
Stating that every American should have the same rights under law is correct – the deliberately blurred line between gay civil rights and the T agenda -child sex grooming, transgender hypnosis/schooled mind manipulations/sexual mutilation of children (anybody)/exploitation of mentally unstable people (any age) – is where the “discussion” goes off in the ditch right away.
Conflation is happening, and it’s by design.
The nefariously manipulative usurpers are talking in code again; they’re *not* saying what most people think they’re saying when they say ‘LGBTQ+’ “rights” … that is their cover story for an agenda that is clearly illegal – criminally insane – in multiple ways.
LGB does not = T agenda. Consult Gays against Groomers for clarifications, they do good job of making the distinction clear; most gay people are not groomers, child sex offenders, supportive of the child sexual mutilation agenda, or for exploitation of any kind. That organization is finally gaining some traction this year… child exploitation – exploitation of anyone mentally immature or unstable of any age – is not a “gay rights issue”, it is criminality.
However I look for them to be usurped too, sooner or later.
I feel encouraged that ‘Pride celebration’ this year has met with notable opposition – it’s a start.
He is also running on his father’s legacy, and death. When asked a question, RFK Jr. too often begins his response with some poignant flashback, rambles on for a bit and then finally gets to the answer.
I have avidly watched nearly every PT rally. Not once, ever, can I recall President Trump relying upon his family background to address the issues of most concern to voters. He tells us what HE will do, not what someone else might have done.
The only personal story I can recall had to do with a water stain on his red tie:)
Yes I have read that in several articles.
I think RFK Jr. has nailed the vaccine industry and correctly exposed their gross corruption.
Beyond that he is as dispicably liberal as Bill Clinton and every politician prior to Ozero. He is obviously not quite as communist or stupid as the current AOC wing of Radical Democrats.

Consequences Of SCOTUS Defeat By The Democrats, The Left, The Deep State, IC, Their Supporters In Leftist Media & Academia, And BLM/Antifa Amid Widespread Voter Fraud!!!: “Supreme Court´s Decision Not To Hear Elections Cases Could Have Serious Repercussions,” by Zack Smith and Hans von Spakovsky, February 23, 2021 at The Heritage Foundation.
https://www.dailysignal.com/2021/02/23/supreme-courts-decision-not-to-hear-elections-cases-could-have-serious-repercussions/
Some key quotes:
“With the U.S. Supreme Court´s “baffling” refusal on Monday [02/22/2021] to grant review of the Pennsylvania election cases that had been appealed to the justices, the majority of the court is-to quote Justice Clarence Thomas´dissent-“leav[ing] election law hidden beneath a shroud of doubt” and “invit[ing] further confusion and erosion of public confidence” in our elections.”; and
“In some cases, state executive branch officials changed the rules; in others, judges made the changes. But under the U.S. Constitution, neither had the authority to do so.”; and
“As Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote late last year, “[t]he Constitution provides that state legislatures-not federal judges, not state judges, not state governors, not other state officials-bear primary responsibility for setting election rules …[a]nd the Constitution provides a second layer of protection, too. If state rules need revision, Congress is free to alter them.””; and
“Notable instances during and after the 2020 election where this procedure wasn´t followed occurred in Pennsylvania. There, the state´s Supreme Court ordered election officials to accept late-arriving mail-in ballots up to three days after Election Day and to count them even if they didn´t have a postmark showing they had been mailed by Election Day.”; and
“The authority the Pennsylvania court cited for overriding state law was what Thomas [Justice Clarence Thomas] called a “vague clause” in the state´s constitution providing that elections “shall be free and equal.””; and
“Thomas [Justice Clarence Thomas] went on to say:
An election system lacks clear rules when, as here, different officials dispute who has authority to set or change those rules. This kind of dispute brews confusion because voters may not know which rules to follow.
Even worse, with more than one system of rules in place, competing candidates might each declare victory under different sets of rules.”
And finally; Voter fraud is TREASON FROM WITHIN, as well as, a coup d´etat, and REJECTION OF THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
Accepting, and master voter fraud like the Democrats, and their supporters in US is a trajectory 24/7/365 further into totalitarianism.

I think we need to look at the new bills coming up in California and the lawsuit against two New Jersey counties. Both of these will take away parents’ rights.
In California, CA state rep Scott Wiener–yes, his real name–is sponsoring a bill to TAKE CHILDREN FROM THEIR PARENTS if they do not “affirm the child’s gender identity” — that is, agree that little Johnny is a girl and get him started on hormones. Child Protective Services will be able to grab your kids and you’ll lose custody for trying to protect Johnny until he is an adult and less easily swayed by gender ideology in school. This is California–can you see it NOT being signed by Gavin Newsom? And the Democrats have as supermajority. The Republicans have no numbers to fight with.
In New Jersey, we have (falsely “elected”) Attorney General Matthew Platkin suing school districts that currently INFORM parents if their child is gender transitioning. He wants the parents to remain in the dark and not know–probably so they can’t interfere.
This is not going away–it will only get worse, and it will come to your state.
It’s about taking custody from parents ultimately. Destroying the nuclear family through the false “health care” of shoving hormones into your minor child and taking your child away if you don’t go along with it. (No more consent, you just have to toe the line.)

One step closer to ending the infatuation with a freaking Kennedy?
Please?!
😁
Are people allowed to have an infatuation with Truth itself, whenever & wherever it’s found, Maquis? Is that OK in your worldview?

Suit yourself.
“If one does not understand a person, one tends to regard him as a fool.”
“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” ~ George Orwell
I’ve not been a political (theater) animal for my entire life, so I have a few questions about this…
As I see it, a danger in listening to *anyone* speak only exists for one who is without a capacity for discernment… the gullible & the unaware are often fooled by falsehoods & lies. Democrats and democrats disguised as republicans – *politicians* – have been fooling poorly informed citizens for as long a time as you want include in an assessment.
“Those Who Can Make You Believe Absurdities, Can Make You Commit Atrocities” ~ Voltaire
“I’ve had enough of someone else’s propaganda. I’m for truth, no matter who tells it. I’m for justice, no matter who it’s for or against. I’m a human being first and foremost, and as such, I am for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.”
― Malcolm X
Why get your knickers in a twist about RFKII “… a freaking Kennedy….”?
I just don’t understand RFKDS; I understand TDS – Trump is an existential threat to the Godless minions’ dark-money livlihoods/power status, and the mentally weak/gullible who follow them take on that existential fear, even though for the middle & lower-class citizen-followers it’s irrational.
But, I prefer to stay curious so I ask… how does RFKII threaten you/what you value?
Why the arm-waving “Danger! Will Robinson, Danger!” pearl-clutching attitude??? Real question, please answer.
And you never said if it’s OK to have an “infatuation” (though your word implies temporary & illusory/fleeting attention to Truth)…
I say it’s a personal allegiance for myself – with the Truth itself; separate from a person who speaks True statements.
That’s also a serious question.
