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…

Why is “JB” & his Co’s soo secretive about health condition(if he is alive )LLOYD AUSTIN ?????
Austin might be stone cold.
LOL !
Exactly. Why aren’t we seeing pics of him sitting upright in hospital bed on a phone call or something.
We need proof of life
A: Because they know they don’t really need a Secretary of Defense when they have declared War on America from the inside.
Occums Razor
One story I read today indicated that he remained in ICU after the initial need for it solely due to need availability and PRIVACY CONCERNS.
So he was likely well out of the worst of it early on, they are simply hiding him in their inner sanctum.
Is he disfigured?? Maybe there is something to the rumor that he was in a missile strike in Ukraine?
That sounds more likely. Who would attempt to give him poison and risk getting caught – in a restaurant?
Disfigured by “sex change” effort?
Why don’t we see pictures of him conducting business from his hospital bed. You would think administration would want to put to rest rumors of his demise.
So if he wasn’t killed in Ukraine and he is actually sitting in the hospital conducting business why no pics.
Is he disfigured in some way? And that is why no pics?
See above. My hypothesis is that he’s lying on his side with a tube coming out of his butt going into a bag and a Foley catheter.
That was my thought when this horse-hockey started.
My hypothesis is that it was a hemorrhoidectomy. That’s a surgery that you wouldn’t want anyone else knowing about, and especially for public figures, the jokes write themselves.
Unfortunately, those are very prone to a nasty infection driven by fecal matter. The treatment almost always involves having a poop tube inserted in your rectum to keep the poops away from the wound until it heals. (That’s almost becoming the standard treatment anyway, just to avoid the potential for infection.) With a poop tube coming out of your butt, you can’t go very far from the hospital bed. You may or may not be sedated, depending on how you tolerate it, so it may be possible to work from bed at some point, but you’re not mobile while you’re healing. If that’s the case, he could be in the bed for a week or two.
.
And if that tube gets pulled out is when the SHTF . . .?
He can pretty much ask for anything, we’re so desperate now:

Soros and his globalist pals don’t care about Mexico, only about destroying America.
Mexico in BRICS needs its workers. America is draining the growing BRICS block of its working age peoples.

Willis may have her Fanni caught in a sling, if this is true, and the Defendant comes with receipts.
Damn this just might blow up into Ricco charges, but not against Trump.
Boy oh boy, the Trump boomerang with high velocity
Orange Man Great has a mean Golden Boomerang.
Willis and Wade, the motion contends, “have been engaged in an improper, clandestine personal relationship during the pendency of this case, which has resulted in the special prosecutor, and, in turn, the district attorney, profiting significantly from this prosecution at the expense of the taxpayers.”
A problem with Wade’s appointment is that it was not approved by the Fulton board of commissioners as required by law, the motion said. The motion also questions Wade’s credentials, contending he has never prosecuted a felony case.
Looks like this sweetheart deal may have been an actual sweetheart deal. Seems the evidence might be in Wade’s currently sealed divorce.
That was an obama tactic.
Indiana GOP lawmaker to retire from House
https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4395431-indiana-gop-bucshon-retire-house/
Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-Ind.) announced Monday he will retire once his term is up next year.
“Scripture teaches us, ‘For everything there is a season,’ and it became clear to me over the Christmas holiday with much discernment and prayer that the time has come to bring my season in public service to a conclusion,” Bucshon said in a statement.
“Therefore, I will not seek reelection to an eighth term and conclude my service in the House of Representatives at the end of the 118th Congress,” he added.
WOW! He’s served 7 terms. Unfortunately, he’s one of many representatives who have been in Washington forever. At least he has a bit of graciousness, retiring “early” in his career.
OR, he did something wrong and doesn’t want it revealed while he’s in congress?
Likely explanation!
Or, someone wants the Republicans out and the blackmail machine is getting them out, one by one . . . so the Democrats can win in 2024.
Same playbook as ’16 or ’22-It’s getting really hot in here trying to remain true to my conservative bona-fides (puke) while making excuses for that Bad Orange Man (who gave us almost 4 years of peace, increased wealth among all demos, etc.)
After 12 years you get a full pension.
Discernment and prayer is striking a lot of republicans as the Epstein information and other things gets exposed.
You weren’t hanging out with Stephen Hawking?
Another rat leaving a sinking ship. Probably on Epstein’s list.
How to get in touch with Mike Johnson
I want to tell him how much of an embarrassment he is and to recommend he find a corner and go suck his thumb
No seriously the more I think about it the more I think Mike Johnson is a clone of the Peanuts character Linus
Please would some talented meme artist put Mike Johnson’s head on Linus’ body complete with “blanky” wrap and sucking his thumb???
Hey! I like Linus!!
I do too..but not as a grown up leading the US House of Reps 😜
I would re-elect Linus into eternity-he was the last person to explain the real meaning of Christmas!
Me too.

Deadlines Approaching…
The enactment of an unusual bifurcated continuing resolution in November set up multiple funding deadlines. Funding for departments and agencies covered by four appropriation bills was extended through Jan. 19, with the balance running through Feb. 2, or Groundhog Day.
Not to worry … Johnson will cave … same as McCarthy. And the music will keep playing … for jusssssst a little longer. Then … the government will start seizing and taxing personal assets.
Sounds like Fani Willis showed her fanny

The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by Elon Musk’s Twitter/X to disclose federal surveillance, including private DM’s which were turned over without people’s knowledge.
This ruling means that the government will be allowed to continue spying on Americans in secret.
Hey y’all. I know this isn’t related, should post on the open thread, but that doesn’t get nearly as much readership. My husband turned 62 in October, put in for SS starting Jan 1. He actually likes the job he’s retiring from and wants to help the employer with a couple of jobs coming up. (roofer – steep jobs, slate and tile – yes, he’s a lot crazy, also jumps out of perfectly good airplanes). Trying to understand the monthly/annual income restrictions while still working. It’s all very vague. Any insights would be appreciated. TIA. Bless you all, and we’re only voting Trump.
This is so far off anything here, as you know. Google. Nothing vague on ss website. Very clear. Just have to read. Also can go to ss admin office and they will explain.
Yeah, it’s very vague. Phone calls give a wait time of two hours +. Must have an appointment for an office visit, made via phone call.
How much can I earn in 2023 without affecting my Social Security?
That’s one of the bonuses of waiting: You can earn as much as you want without the penalty of having your Social Security income withheld.
If you’re under the full retirement age, however, the annual earnings limit is $21,240 for 2023.
But they also have a monthly limit. That’s what we’re trying to figure out, what comes first.
And for every 2 dollars over that amount they will be taking 1, so they will take half of what you make over the limit.
For those who are at retirement age or beyond, the government will be taking 1 dollar for every 3 earned over the limit.
I just received my ss letter last week.
I hate them all.
MAGA
They will explain that you are to get on the laptop and do it yourself.
A few years ago when I retired at 62, the max that you could earn without penalty was $18,000 per year. Anything earned above that was required to return 50% of the overage to SS. They stop your payments until they recoup that 50%.
You may wind up owing Federal and state taxes on those earnings as well.
Sorry for linking to AARP (I’ll never become a member) … but the info is pretty clear and simple.

I admire any roofer who can do steep roof, and slate work. That’s REAL Roofing work … not strolling around on a 4:12 roof laying down sheets of composition shingle (although the bundles are heavy). I took early retirement … but now I’m old enough and can earn anything I want. Kinda a rotten rule that dramatically favors white collar workers. But when didn’t our government favor white collar workers? Shameful.
He really enjoys it, and has some beautiful work on prominent buildings to show for it. Mentored by an old German. Sadly becoming a lost skill.
Does he use copper wire to set the slate … or just copper nails? Or is it all stainless steel now?
BTW … without revealing my profession … I’ve worked on a few projects with slate roofs … wealthy clients … big homes.
Our second date was him taking me up in a crane on a church steeple. I work in insurance, if we were questioned I was on an inspection. 25 years ago, fun times.
Hahahahaha ha … what a 🥰 romantic

Bravo Elon! I don’t care that 90% of CTH and SD believe you’re a fraud and a hardcore leftist … because I don’t.
I’ve never ONCE been tested for COVID. I may have had it once … but I was never tested. Why? Because I won’t play FAKE, USELESS, WEAPONIZED statistic roulette with our corrupt government.
Im sure you had it because everybody has had the flu before 😉
Yep … although there were NO flu cases in 2020
yeah, any year but that year 😉
What a $$$ coincidence $$$$$$$$$
Ditto!
Never tested, never sick. Donate blood regularly, they were looking for antigen positive blood (pre vax), tested positive. That was the huge tell for us.

Defendant Michael Roman’s Motion To Dismiss Grand Jury Indictment As Fatally Defective And Motion To Disqualify The District Attorney, Her Office And The Special Prosecutor From Further Prosecuting This Matter

Tucker Carlson reacts to the new J6 Documentary; 10 minutes:
I had never seen the overhead footage of the teargas misfire and gas wafting across the plaza forcing the police to flee. What a joke. The whole Nancy Pelosi construct of the J6 Kangaroo Court and the entire J6 charade is a JOKE. No, not a funny “ha-ha” joke … but the kind of JOKE that makes one uncontrollably sick to their stomachs … at the realization our government has been weaponized and strategized to put THE PEOPLE down. By Any Means Necessary.
Nancy Pelosi, and all her cohorts would be swinging from the gallows if we lived in the saner times of yesteryear. Anything woke would be institutionalized … for their own good.
“canned applause”. jMHO
yes.
Damn right.
>>> “Sources close to President Trump say Dr. Ben Carson is one of the frontrunners for Vice President.”
Good call, Sundance. 🙂
~ EM
YES.
I’m sorry, but no. I love Ben Carson. I traveled to hear him in person when he was running for president. He is brilliant and a great Christian, but 2028, if we get there, is going to require the closest thing to a roaring lion -a Trump clone – that we can muster. Hope I’m wrong about him if he’s chosen. I wouldn’t mind him as a close advisor, though.
Trump roars loud enough for 5 lions.
Don’t need that as VP.
Other important positions, sure. Get a loud one for some of those.
Ohhh Good Lord!! Now the fearmongers have invented a new term: “tripledemic”. Because no single -demic is large enough to matter.

I had that in 2022. Covid (#2) in October, Flu in November, RSC in December. Not vaccinated.
President Trump shared a screenshot on Truth Social today of a report that suggests that the U.S. Constitution disqualifies America last candidate Nikki Haley from a presidential or vice presidential candidacy.

Kamala Harris
Vivek Ramaswamy
Anchor Babies all
When did Ramaswamy’s parents become naturalized citizens?
Harris has the added complication that she, along with her sister and mother, moved to Montreal, Canada when she was 12. She was there for 6 years until she went to Howard University in DC.
Did they become Canadian citizens?
.
Maybe Harris was gifted a pilfered ‘identity’ by those who wanted her to be beholden to them . . .

“I asked him if that was a threat, and he just smiled. This man is dangerous, he knows exactly what he’s doing and he is two-faced. We need to get rid of him now,” Cammack continued.

New Jersey Gov Seeks To Restrict Bus Companies Used By Greg Abbott For Migrant Transports
Excerpt:
In response to Adams’ latest lawsuit, Abbott said the action was “baseless” and that his transports are legal and voluntary.
“These companies have violated state law by not paying the cost of caring for these migrants and that’s why we are suing to recoup approximately $700 million already spent to care for migrants bused here for the last two years by the state of Texas.

Election ground report. A Lefty group I closely follow is encouraging people to sign up as Republicans and vote against Trump in the primaries and caucuses. I reported here a few days ago that the local news was pushing this party switching narrative as well. I know there have always been attempts to sabotage the other party’s primary, but this seems more organized than normal.
Yeah, I know.
A Lefty family member called me a couple weeks ago to say she’d be voting Haley.
She’s also very pro- Pal.
So I told her, ” Haley is a warmonger. If you really want to stop the war, you’re gonna have to vote RFK Jr., Trump, or Ramaswamey.
They’re the only ones who’d have *any* interest in stopping the madness.”
She called me a couple days later and said she was voting RFK, Jr.
I think the only reason the Dems aren’t running another candidate is so all the Biden voters in Open Primary States can go out and vote R.
JAN 08 2024 – ITALY – Roman Salute
Does anyone know what is being stated?
It’s the Italian tradition at a memorial to read out names of those killed and for the response “presente” to be given. So, in the video, the names of the 3 youths who were killed at Acca Larentia are read out and the crowd responds, “presente,” after each name.
At the war memorial Redipuglia (Italy’s largest war memorial, WWI, near Trieste), you can see the word presente repeated over and over as it is threaded through the names of the dead. See photos of the monument here: https://www.ww1cemeteries.com/ita-redipuglia-military-cemetery-and-memorial.html
NOV 2009 – “Presente” ritual
FEB 2028 – Sacrario di Redipuglia – ITALY
WTH is this???
First sentence on the Italian description ( at YT) says it’s the “far right”.
Looks like the Charlottesville Actors.
Officially it is the commemoration of the 1978 killing of three young militants of a far-right party by communist militants —
this year with the genocide going on in Gaza it takes a different meaning
wikipedia :
Commemorations for the Acca Larentia killings take place each year and are controversial.

Underground tunnels discovered under Synagogues in New York City.
JAN 08 2024 – NYC
JUST IN: Chaos breaks out in New York City after underground tunnels were discovered under the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters in Brooklyn.
Bomb shelters dug without authorization? Storage, living areas or classrooms dug out without permission? With the price of real estate in NYC, it might be a new fad? It might undermine adjacent building foundations?
At least 10 Jewish people have been arrested in connection a bizarre secret underground tunnel brawl at the Chabad headquarters in Crown Heights New York.
