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.

What did Trump not do, that Republicans have been campaigning on for decades?
Border security? ✔️
Jobs? ✔️
Lower taxes? ✔️
Energy Independence? ✔️
Deregulation? ✔️
Economic growth? ✔️
Fair Trade? ✔️
Trump did more for the Republican Party in four years than McConnell has in the decades he’s been sitting there.
Ergo…they hate him because he showed them for the worthless double talking greedy liars they are.
You are assuming that the worthless Republicans actually wanted to get those things done. 😛
They SAID it, but he DID it, and yes showed them up as the lieing liars they are, not stupid, not cowardly, not playing by marquis of queensbury rules, but COMPLICIT.
Perhaps his greatest accomplishment was exposing the complicit Republicans as one half of the Uniparty.
Without their complicity, the Dems could never have taken our center right country so far left.
In order to move our country, the Decepticons had to be exposed, and now that they are exposed, their power (derived from their stealth) is stripped from them.
Yes,what you said!
I’m feeling strangely hopeful.
I completely agree — that’s what I was saying. I believe Republicans like to be in the minority because it is more fun to fight to get back on top than to be on top and have to govern.
They love to be in the minority so they can pretend to be outraged and pretend to WANT to pass conservative legislation and pretend to try to block progressive legislation while actually wanting the same things as the Dems.
They prefer the minority because they get the financial perks of being in Congress without actually having to do the work of governing.
Being in the Minority helps their Real Job, raising money for themselves. Trading on inside information, book deals, speaker fees, bribes and keckbacks iare a bit dodgy and hit and miss at times
I totally agree
Trump is winning when they try and make him losing. Trump won the impeachment fiasco, Rino exposure, Mitch McConnell exposure, VP Pence exposure, Election fraud exposure with much more to come, Biden administration exposure, Deep State exposure with much more to come. In the meantime Trumps popularity goes up and not down.
Trump is still my President. The other group “terrorists” pretending to be in office will never succeed nor will I, nor anyone I know RECOGNIZE them in office, especially showing their ignorance of pretending to be somewhere when they are not making ridiculous videos. They are so stupid.
Like that woman at the Palm Beach Presidents Day celebration for Pres Trump shouted, “you won, everybody knows you won!”
Of all, I have to believe that Pence was the greatest decepticon in the lousy bunch. He not only failed in his duty but he did it in the most despicable fashion. A man of God? How ludicrous!
He is as TREACHEROUS as a Pedophile Priest.
Lin Wood has stumbled across credible evidence that Pence has his own secrets. Pence should come out and deny them now that the accusations are in the public sphere.
Putting on a mask of religious faith and betraying the base is worse than just being a ruthless politician. Mr. Pence is a deceiver of the first order and there is no reason to believe anything he has to say.
Sadly, it turns out Traito Pence was a was Deep State Mole all along. His Crowning Glory was his betrayal performance at the Electoral College. He seems to be under the delusion that he is a rockstar, and that we will forget What He Did when the news cycle passes. Wrong.
Beware of people who wear their religion too loudly on their sleeves. It is often times used to cover up what they don’t want exposed.
I have found that to be true in my life many times with both friends and relatives.
people are the same no matter religion or not has been my experience.
That he brought God’s name into his treachery is enraging.
Pence was the instrument for getting rid of General Flynn. The Deep State was more scared of Flynn than Trump at that moment in time.
I try to live my life based on the scriptures and Christ as a model. I fail often. That being said, I have a very healthy skepticism of those playing the God card in public fashion. My approach is to attempt to live it by the power of The Holy Spirit, serving those in need…spiritually, physically, financially and emotionally…while telling no one. I’ve seen friends and family shamelessly play the “God Card” for purely selfish purposes. It causes me to question…”Who are you trying to impress?…man or God? God knows our hearts and hopefully, our fellow man(and woman) can infer our faith/character based on how we live, including how we treat others. We all are flawed and take on the challenge of denying “self” every day. We all have chinks in our armor. I’m well aware of mine. Sometimes in my efforts to present unvarnished honesty, an element, sometimes a huge element of pride is center stage. I can say this with all honesty, I am very intentional in not using my faith to project self righteousness or expediency
Holy Spirit is so had to grasp but so wonderful to come to know
It is right and scriptural to share our faith in Christ but if our actions belie our words then it is correct to judge the fruit that is produced by the one who is proclaiming their faith in Christ. I was one of many who was fooled by George W. Bush and I only trusted Pence because of a certain individual that I DO trust who thought Pence was a believer. Yes, this individual was fooled by Pence.
That said, Jesus Christ is Lord no matter what fallen human beings say or do that may discredit our Lord.
This is a testament to the Spirit’s Work by His Word as stated in Hebrews 4:12-13. He tests our motives, intents of the heart. Even our best efforts fall so short of the required Righteousness of God. But we have a Great High Priest ever Righteous on our behalf before the Father. So we press on, seeking to do HIs Will, knowing that in this life, even our repentances need to be repented of, living by faith in our God/Man’s Perfection.

I believe that our Great American President Donald J Trump is still in the game. It’s not in his DNA to skulk off in defeat especially when he won decisively. I don’t know what track it will take but I “feel” the game is still afoot?
One begins to realize people who support Trump are “winners” in their individual way. People support Trump because Trump symbolizes the way they see themselves feeling deep down the way they wish and do feel for themselves.
One begins to understand those who support the “other-side” as being “losers”, convoluted and constantly miserable. They do not understand or have the common sense their life’s salvation would be to be like us.
There is an inner mental resentment and jealously they are not and cannot be like us. They can only embrace what is not good for them because it is all they see for themselves.
Well no, he said ‘what they have been campaigning on for four decades.’ WE know that what they campaign on ( Dems as; well) is not what they actually want or mean. Well said offcourse
Just forced myself to watch an MSNBC clip w/Michael Steele explaining what’s going on in the GOP. I can only stand it for a few minutes b4 I start yelling at the TV.
What I noticed is that the talk is JUST about Trump– Trump’s radical wing of the R party and the “good” Mitch who they view/declare is now the leader of the R party.
And 4 good measure, Steele said Mitch not voting to convict was tactical to protect 2022 candidates but that Mitch was also signaling that the Biden admin DOJ should file charges against PDJT for inciting the riot at the Capital.
What’s interesting is there is NO mention of WHAT the Trump movement is about– America 1st Agenda. IMO, we should drop the MAGA b/c now we r just trying to SAVE America from going over the cliff.
We should repeat over and over: “SAVE AMERICA– DEMAND that THE US GOVT– Biden admin, your senator, your congressperson– PUT THE INTERESTS OF AMERICA AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE FIRST. DEMAND they tell you how they will do that.”
Mitch/RINOS really don’t SAY what they disagree w/Trump on POLICY b/c they can’t–most Americans believe that OUR govt should be putting the interests of OUR nation first.
What the left/dems/rinos SAY they oppose re MAGA is usually BS– not what MAGA stood for, not what PDJT DID.
The left/rinos ARE controlling the narrative. They did successfully get many… to focus on PDT tweets and defined Trump w/those tweets and stmts. They painted Trump as a bully, when in reality THEY were/are the bullies.
WE must control the narrative re: our movement.
And, if someone disagrees w/America First, ASK them what and who they want to be the priority for OUR govt. ASK they why they do NOT believe that the US Govt should put the best interests of AMERICA and Americans first, as their most important job.
AMERICA FIRST!! let’s rock!!!
No disagreement, but the DNC/MSM et al control the narrative. We are the voice in the wilderness that is heard by millions under the radar.
True… but the way we change that, IMO, is with our primary and general election candidates in 2022.
They need to stick to repeating this motto and … policy focus of America First.
In debates, speeches, gatherings, rallies, interviews, they should preface each policy with their REAL view that “xyz policy protects & promotes America and the American people’s best interests in the following way: abc.”
WE control our own message via consistent repetition by all of us.
Challenge opposing candidates by forcing them to show why and how THEIR policy is in America’s/American people’s best interest.
Then tear it apart and show why it’s not. They ask them, repeatedly: “WHY DON’T YOU WANT TO PUT THE BEST INTERESTS OF AMERICA AND AMERICAN FAMILIES FIRST? WHY DON’T YOU BELIEVE THAT IS YOUR JOB? ”
“WHY do you want to put FOREIGN and Foreign national’s best interests and wants/needs before America and Americans’s needs/wants?
They will then become defensive… lol… and WE will control the narrative… b/c they will struggle to explain WHY a crap policy they r promoting is in America’s best interest…. and in the best interest of ALL Americans.
The left/dems are VERY divisive in their policies which r usually blatantly discriminatory and overtly do NOT make America/Americans’ best interests a priority.
I told this story b4– I have a leftis/dem friend (for over 20 years). We have been able to debate political issues civilly over the decades. Not so much over the past 4 years and we r not talking since the election.
Several months ago, we debated the wall/securing the southern border. I listed many serious reasons we need to do this. His defense was rather childish — I’m not being a good christian, the poem on the Statue of Liberty.
Finally, he said in exasperation: ” why are you afraid of brown people?” ?
I propose we start responding in the same frivolous childish way:
1. Why are you a self-hating white person? Do you want to see European ethnicities exterminated from the planet?
2. Do you think you might be a black SUPREMACIST? Do you hate white, latino, asian, jewish people?
Lol… time to USE their own rhetoric against them. We do NOT do it — I don’t–b/c its unsavory. I always want to debate an issue seriously… but it doesn’t work, even with smart leftists. They WILL resort to accusing you of being a racist, sexist, homophobe, etc.
I’ve been doing this for a while. It drives them bat shit crazy.
The whole white thing is weird.
Yesterday, took part in a survey, did all the questions and at the end, as is usual these days, they ask are you male/female/not prefer to answer, they ask for your age by giving several ranges to get the general idea how old the survey taker is, then they ask for the race.
For the different categories of race, along with the usual “prefer not to answer” and “other”, they gave options as African-American, Native American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Middle Eastern, and White.
I clicked the “other” and the little box opens up for you to fill in what that other race is, so I typed in Caucasian.
If we let them describe us in colors while everyone else is identified with origins of the various nations, we are allowing them to identify us as non-human, as only a color.
Might look like a small thing, but it seemed important to me to not let them always get to define the narrative.
Whenever I am asked about my race I always answer Human. Anything else is a false construct.
Makes me Furious we aren’t hearing our elected Republicans screaming every day when Joementia is putting America last with all of his executive orders. What the heck are they doing? Has anyone heard them fighting back?
They cannot file charges against Trump for the riot because it will expose Nancy and Mitch to scrutiny for not protecting the capital. As President Trump’s lawyer said, the dems actually doctored evidence. They will not get to try that in an actual courtroom and President Trump’s speech did not advocate violence.
Yes, agree. I was relaying what the left are promoting and how they are explaining what’s happening.
Rino Michael Steele was on MSDNC to explain the R viewpoint. That’s what he said… that’s what they want their leftist viewers to believe– the McConnell is promoting the right thing– that biden DOJ should charge Trump.
They ALL should know that is not possible for the reasons you gave but they don’t seem to… or… maybe they plan to make biden appear magnanimous for not having his DOJ charge PDJT?
Yes, I see what you are saying. We on the right always echo the left’s talking points without always pointing out their flaws in logic. Even Rush does it because he is trying to explain to everyone how the left thinks. It drives me crazy sometimes. I just want to put forth our thought process without perpetuating the propaganda. Not a criticism of you, Kare.
The problem with this very valid point is that they clearly have nothing to fear from the courts, least of all an honest trial.
I was happy to see President Trump’s aid Jason Miller state clearly a very important point re Jan. 6: the President did not plan or organize that event. Ergo, the notion that everybody should move toward the Capitol building was something that was pre-planned by others, and not by the President.
To be honest, when the President stated that attendees were to move toward the area of the Capitol building, it did not seem ‘like him,’ but rather something he was asked to say because the organizers had a schedule of events that were to follow.
How many saw the long video of the event taken by the two male bloggers from New York City (although originally they were from Canada, I believe)?? At one point, a woman working for the event-organizers approached them touting the events that were going to happen subsequently near the Capitol building. She provided instructions about how to reach the area, while promising that (paraphrasing) ‘things would be jumping’ etc, to which the two bloggers said (paraphrasing) ‘oh, okay, great!’
So, now I ask myself, ‘was the group behind Stop the Steal on the level?’ And if they were, were they not infiltrated by other clandestine groups who were not??
Good question; I’ve been wondering the same thing, was that group infiltrated to set up the events that unfolded because the group that created and organized the event have been very silent since that day.
Just remember 75 million voted for Trump and America First. I would disagree and say WE control the narrative. 75 million voters did not listen to the MSM. They voted for President Trump but the election was stolen. We need to fix the election process in those states. Our message is getting out. We won the election. We had it stolen from us.
It’s hard to believe Michael Steele was ever a conservative. When he first came on the scene many years ago I thought he was pretty good and had a promising future. Boy was I wrong. He is just like so many in politics-self-serving dishonest sleazy people.
In terms of controlling the message, it’s almost impossible with the dishonest media. They repeat lies over and over to support a certain narrative. They let politicians they support spread misinformation, outright lies etc. The way they allowed PTs Charlottesville comments to continually misstated and used against him is disgusting. Conflating illegal immigration comments with legal immigration to misrepresent PTs position is another example. So many examples.
Seems like PT needs to send a written transcript out to the media to make it more difficult for them to misrepresent his comments and policy positions.
Steele saw a way to use his skin color as currency. He’s offered the gig for the same reason he registered as an “R.” GOP needed to use his skin color.
The MSNBC anchors and guests just love those paychecks.
He was a Fox regular a really really long time ago. After he was on the outs with the GOP over alleged mismanagement of the RNC, he had a huge chip on his shoulder and went over to MSNBC.
I remember liking him way back when….he was really personable. It’s like a 180 degrees to now where he always seems bitter and angry.
Love this post. It’s exactly how I feel. Thx:)
Republicans had 2 years to accomplish all of these things when Trump was elected, when they led both houses of Congress . They did nothing but obstruct.
He didn’t play “the game” with deep staters and for this, he had to be defeated.
And Lindsey Graham said last night on Hannity that we should not fight among ourselves or we will never win back house and/or senate. PT is fighting against dishonest self-serving politicians and the corrupt establishment in Washington. I guess Lindsey just wants to go along to get along so the R’s and D’s can continue waltzing together toward fascism, socialism, communism. We are well on our way. This as the politicians enrich themselves. PT has accomplished so much with virtually no help from so called conservative R’s. Many of whom criticize him publicly and team with D’s to prevent him from getting things done that they themselves run on.
Lindsey Graham should not be trusted. He talks out of both sides of his mouth.
Write him an mail: “I object to the use of ‘we’, Lindsey. You don’t seem to understand that GOP pols and the RNC are not part of us. You care about party. We care about people and the country.”
The problem is the GOP didn’t actually want to do those things.
Trump did all that you describe and more without ONE Republican lifting a finger to help him. Trump did this singlehandedly. Literally.
One could draw a reasonable conclusion that they never really wanted any of these goals achieved…
Generally speaking, scientific theories are simply ideas that are used to explain phenomena. The famous philosopher of science, Karl Popper tells us that a theory that can’t be disproven—challenged— is not a theory. What this means is that scientific inquiry is predicated on the ability to question all theoretical explanations. If someone tells you that a theory representes “settled science” they are basically lying to you because what they like to claim is a theory, i.e. “science” isn’t a theory at all. As Popper would tell us, what they re calling a “theory” isn’t a theory at all. It’s political dogma pretending to be scientific theory.
Arguing that there is “settled science” implies that we don’t get to question or disprove the conclusions reached by the ideas being presented as “theory”. Simply put, when someone tells you that “the science” tells you to do something what they are actually doing is describing a political dogma.
Political dogmas—mask wearing comes to mind—are often legitimated by alluding to some scientific opinion. But if you investigate, if you ask questions about the conclusions you quickly run up against the “settled science” firewall. There’s an inherent dishonestly in all this. Popper was right. If you can’t logically question a theory presented as “settled science” you aren’t dealing with science—you are dealing with political ideology misquoting as science.
“Science must not impose any philosophy, any more than the telephone must tell us what to say.”–G.K. Chesterton

Philosophy is one minds interpretation of any given subject….in other words, Art. No different than oils or watercolors or sculpture for that matter.
The human mind cannot create truth, it can only observe it.
That is a most appropriate quote for the current state of affairs. Thanks.
I am not a scientist or a philosopher but this just makes sense if a person has any idea about theories, logic, the history of science –
those who try to suppress or limit discussion or contradiction are anti-scientific, I would say –
“the world is flat and that is that” . . . settled “science”!
Is it a coincidence that The Church imprisoned scientist Galileo Galilei for his Conspiracy Theories concerning The Earth? It’s almost like The Modern Left is the New Religion… oh wait…
That the Church imprisoned Galileo was a historical irony, since he was only supporting earlier work done by Copernicus and others. Copernicus’ work in support of the heliocentric theory was formulated in 1510, but the Church of HIS time accepted the model of the Solar System as a breakthrough, because it was mathematically much simpler to employ than the dominant Pythagorean explanations for the observable motion of planets. (“God does nothing in vain.”). Copernicus’ major work fully explaining his formulae was published in 1543. He died that same year, lauded and supported by both Church and State. Of course the heliocentric theory had existed in non-mathematical forms for many centuries previously.
By the time Galileo published his support of Copernican doctrine in 1620, the political landscape had changed radically, and the Church reversed its position (beginning in 1616) due to the philosophical implications of Earth, the domain of man, not being the center or main gravitational force ruling the motion of the known planets. He was placed under house arrest for the remaining nine years of his life in 1633.
The general public didn’t fully accept the model of the sun as the center of our planetary system until after the works of Isaac Newton were published a lifetime later.
This is why I browse the CTH comments section. :^)
“the political landscape had changed radically” … ya don’t say.
That is an excellent post and I agree with all of it. I was reading up on Galileo the other day and was reminded he was jailed for I think one day.
My point is 400 years later he was simply jailed. It is up to the information gatherer to know and understand the accurate context of that jailing. Was he on a hunger strike for years in a dank dungeon deprived of his rights? Or did the pope put a modern day genius in symbolic jail for 24 hours to remind people the church has the final say?
Depends on the researcher but also the quality of the research. I question all of the documentation and from about that approximate date in history.
Galileo was jailed for his heretical teachings, not for his heliocentric views. His heresy was based on his heliocentric views, but other clergy espoused heliocentrism without censure, such as Copernicus. Copernicus’ theories were widely read and respected, and were the foundation for Galileo’s work. Galileo’s early work was embraced by many in the Church.
But unlike Copernicus, Galileo started to attack his fellow scientists, which included a lot of priests, for not embracing the “settled science.” He started using scripture to present his theory as a sort of dogma. When he was told to stop using scripture to try and bolster his scientific theories and present them as a sort of dogma, he insulted the leadership of the church.
For this political and theological folly, he was put under house arrest in a palace with a relative freedom to continue his work. He was not censured from writing about heliocentrism per se, but from a theological standpoint.
This is unjust, especially by our standards of free speech today, but it is not the kind of barbaric inquisition people like to romanticize to further their talking point that science and religion are incompatible.

A good book is : Galileo’s Daughter – A Historical Memoir Of Science, Faith, And Love
Thanks for the detailed clarification.
The Galileo story as presented in schools & universities today is, in many ways, politically motivated junk history, unfortunately.
I bet that isnt the only thing
I think you did a better job of saying what i was trying to. Are you my wife?
Yes, excellent post.
In Galileo’s day, the prevailing view —though not entirely “settled science” — was that the sun revolved around the earth.
My understanding is that Galileo was a bit pompous and started teaching that “the earth revolved around the sun” as settled science. That’s what landed him in jail, and I think excommunication b/c he refused to also consider/teach the prevailing view. As it turned out, Galileo was correct but that was not known to be true — “settled science” — at the time.
One of the reasons the Church had power in science was b/c it was the Catholic Church that created & funded the university system beginning in the late 1300s, I believe.
In our day, Global Warming is viewed as “settled science.” Anyone who questions it is ridiculed and mocked, not jailed… yet.
But, in reality, I believe there was actually more openness/receptiveness to Galileo’s theory in his day than there is in our day to questioning global warming.
Today, instead of the Church establishing, funding, influencing, directing scientific and other study, theories… the govt does it.
Which is better? I believe that Princeton & Harvard were established as Christian universities. Are they better now w/govt and secular endowment control than they were when the Church had more influence?
Interesting thought. “One of the reasons the Church had power in science was b/c it was the Catholic church that created & funded the university system . . .”
a parallel came to mind, in today’s world it is Big tech that seems to have the power because it created & funds the online world, today’s ‘universities’ and here we are, little Galileo’s in our own right, trying to share with the world our own discoveries and being put into the modern equivalent of house arrest, shunned, fed to the mobs via doxxing.
That old saying “the more things change, the more they stay the same” still rings true!
87% of pro climate change papers are funded by pro climate change sponsors.?!
Copernicus beat them, he would ot allow his works to be published until after his death. Bruno paid the ultimate price.
Even then, it was all about control.
“Letting blood” i.e. opening a vein to “let out the malignant humors” was “settled science”, and even “following the data” at one time, and something we would still be doing, if someone hadn’t questioned it.
Its typical projection, acusing your opponents of what you are doing i.e. “denying science” in this case.
One of the most brilliant minds ever elected President, James Garfield died because of the denial of science. From CBS this Morning….American doctors at the time didn’t believe germs existed at all. And according to Dr. Jeffrey Reznick of the National Library of Medicine, they rejected the use of antiseptics pioneered by British surgeon Joseph Lister, for whom Listerine would later be named
“Lister, an Englishman, embraced this theory in the early 1860s,” said Reznick. “American doctors did not believe in the Listerian Theory because they subscribed to the miasma theory, the fact that bad air caused disease and illness, not germs. They didn’t believe in germs – germs you couldn’t see.” The bullet he took did not kill him. The doctor putting his unwashed hands into the wound frequently did.
Had Social Media tyrants been around then, they would have banned discussion of alternatives to bloodletting. Did you see this, though: Facebook decreed their would be no claims that the experimental “vaccine” geneticallly modifies human beings. Then Zuck violated his own speech ban.

Maybe you should just let people talk, sonny. It’s called “freedom”. Try it. You might like it.

Those malignant humors are going to kill us all laughing I hope. Reminds me of a plaque I read on a lawyer’s wall. It read, ‘We (lawyers) were writing the Declaration and the Constitution when the medical profession was still blood letting.. Needless to say he was a malpractice specialist.
“if you ask questions about the conclusions”
They aren’t even providing “conclusions”… they’re constantly moving the Goal Posts to fit their agenda. then there’s the whole “Give A Little, Take A Lot” thing that they love so much.
Their motivation is ? Power, money, covering up 250 years of lies?
And the ultimate question for us to ask is pretty simple: How does freedom and liberty survive under this change? When you ask this basic question, Prog ressivism—in all it’s manifestations—always fails. There is no room in the Progressivist/fascist agenda for the freedoms and liberties institutionalized in our constitution. The question that remains for us is clear. Who will defend these fundamental rights that define our nation? We now have a sitting president and a sitting congress that doesn’t believe in any of this.
How right you are. How many times have they changed “settled science” in the past? Too many to count.
One ought to keep in mind that working scientists do not use the term. Science isn’t supposed to EVER be “settled”, as it is an evolving, expanding gathering of new information added and amending earlier hypotheses.
So true. Science is never settled. Science is simply the best posited understanding of a natural phenomena at a moment in time. Never to be mistaken for an explanation for what actually occurs.
A better microscope and a more informed eye to “see” and then explain an occurrence in time will serve to again alter settled science.
A medication that comes with a warning of “side effects” is an indication that science is able to grasp only a partial view of the bodily function that the medication is proposed to “cure”.
Exactly Mikey…and true science does not ignore facts for the sake of a desired outcome.
Unfortunately, we have done just that with the Wuhan virus.
But climate science is settled. So they say.
“settled science” is a journalist and politician’s term. But “peer reviewed” is a term that is used by working scientists and many times is a bogus term meaning that someone will agree with their conclusions no matter how far fetched.
It’s called scientific ‘theory’.
This was perhaps first, certainly most prominently used with Darwins theory.
Attempt to question it to any lib, and they immediately denigrate your intelligence, for questioning a THEORY.
Perfected with Darwins THEORY, they now use it for ‘Climate change’ hoax, and with a virus supposedly less than a year old, they purport to be “following the data” that they deliberately manipulated from the outset.
Yes, they do. The lack of integrity and the failure by the left (& others) to SIMPLY seek the truth is exhausting and absurd.
“For instance, I have pointed out the difficulty of keeping a monkey and watching it evolve into a man. Experimental evidence of such an evolution being impossible, the professor is not content to say (as most of us would be ready to say) that such an evolution is likely enough anyhow. He produces his little bone, or little collection of bones, and deduces the most marvellous things from it. He found in Java a piece of a skull, seeming by its contour to be smaller than the human. Somewhere near it he found an upright thigh-bone and in the same scattered fashion some teeth that were not human. If they all form part of one creature, which is doubtful, our conception of the creature would be almost equally doubtful. But the effect on popular science was to produce a complete and even complex figure, finished down to the last details of hair and habits. He was given a name as if he were an ordinary historical character. People talked of Pithecanthropus as of Pitt or Fox or Napoleon. Popular histories published portraits of him like the portraits of Charles the First and George the Fourth. A detailed drawing was reproduced, carefully shaded, to show that the very hairs of his head were all numbered. No uninformed person looking at its carefully lined face and wistful eyes would imagine for a moment that this was the portrait of a thigh-bone; or of a few teeth and a fragment of a cranium. …
They talk of searching for the habits and habitat of the Missing Link; as if one were to talk of being on friendly terms with the gap in a narrative or the hole in an argument, of taking a walk with a non-sequitur or dining with an undistributed middle.”–G.K. Chesterton, ‘The Everlasting Man’

I agree Paul.
Fact and theory are easy concepts.
Theory/Gravity Newton wrote the rules on gravity, roughly 150 years later some young upstart comes along named Einstein and completely re-writes the rules of gravity.
Did apples remain suspended in mid-air pending the outcome? Gravity is a fact, the theories supporting that fact will remain in flux till a quantum theory explaining it’s properties is established.
Now for settled science, when you can give me all of your data and I reach the same results as you we’ve settled the science, until somebody else brings more data and explains it in a simpler term, and of course we all take that data and reach the same conclusion. i.e. science never settles.
That’s a very good way to put it Garrison. I usually tell climate change fanatics that people at one time were also sure that the world was flat. The other “theory” that is accepted as settled science is Darwin’s theory of evolution, although the links between species have not really been made and the discovery of “Lucy” the skeleton of an ape/man link was an actual fraud.
“If someone tells you that a theory represents “settled science” they are basically lying to you because what they like to claim is a theory, i.e. “science” isn’t a theory at all. As Popper would tell us, what they re calling a “theory” isn’t a theory at all. It’s political dogma pretending to be scientific theory.”
Wow! What a pleasure to come here and read this fascinating and quite edifying discussion above of Science. I always learn so much here, and today is especially enlightening. Thank you to all the posters contributing their knowledge to this very appreciated discussion! Much respect! ❤️
I agree this is the best forum I have ever come across and this morning reminds me of the way it used to be here very refreshing THANKS Fellow Treepers
Scientific laws should also be challenged, otherwise ‘spontaneous generation’ would still be a law of science.
Wonderful comment which also spurred a very interesting, well-thought- out and informative thread to follow downstream. I encourage readers not to miss it.
Per your comment, I’d say that today’s left-wing ideology is founded on a virulent form of obscurantism that rivals (or exceeds) that of the Middle Ages, a period in which such sophistry dominated.
Has anyone ever encountered a more committed obscurantist than Anthony Fauci (also known as Anthony Falsy)??

Dutchman’s prayer from December 6th…
Lord,
Thank you for having the Grace, to forgive me my sins, and for the blessing of allowing me to live in THESE times, and bear witness to this titanic struggle between you and the evil one, between your warriors, and the forces aligned to enslave humanity.
I pray for our country, and for the World, and know that we are secure in your hands.
I am content, at peace knowing that YOU are “in charge”, and that with you, ALL is possible, and without you NOTHING is possible.
Please lift the burden of despondency, which afflicts so many, Lord. Let them see thru the lies of the father of lies, and understand that distorting perceptions, to make them THINK he is winning, is simply one of his deceptions.
Make all of his minions stumble, grumble, fumble and ultimately fail, and their feeble attempts to achieve dominion over the earth, to come to naught.
Bless President Trump, his family, ALL warriors, and Treepers. Keep them safe, strong and resolute.
In Jesus name I pray,
Amen.

Mitch McConnell is the political equivalent of a lot lizard.
lower
It is all over with for McConnell. McConnell has lost all support….even the two he once had.
Collins, Romney, Murkowski, Burr, and the others will desert Mitch very soon. It is what they do.
Not sure what a “lot lizard” is, but unfair to them anyway.
To say Mitch was sewer pipe scum, would be an unfair insult to sewer scum everywhere.
Been railing about him here, for at least two years now, on these pages.
Glad to see everyone is seeing him for what he is.
Its not JUST Mitch; even if he is pushed out of the picture, the Uniparty has their own “line of succession” unwritten but as solid as the official one for POTUS.
If a leader retires, is ousted by scandal or health, another just like him moves up.
McConnell would be replaced by Thune, just like Ryan was replaced by McCarthy.
As Sundance has written, McConnell has a group of about 17 R Senators who owe their allegiance to the Uniparty; got to expunge the whole bunch, and frankly not sure there are any in the Senate “worth” keeping.
I know Hawley and Paul havr their fans, but I ain’t convinced.
Show me the one of them that stood up like Webster or Quincy Adams or Lodge and blistered the paint off the walls at this outrageous Theft of Power from the People by a criminal Political Class. Show me that man or woman.
You can’t.
“The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.”
Slouchers.
I think a lot lizard is a truck stop hooker
You are correct.
PDJT … you can make deals with people that actually share common goals and desires. Most of the established politicians have no desire to work for the American people, just to enrich themselves while engaging in petty posturing.
If you want to come back, it must be with total war … perhaps you need to stop listening to Jared Kushner among others. Get a War cabinet together, starting with some of the best people, such as Michael Flynn and Sidney Powell.
PDJT’s first inaugeration speech was a declaration of War, for his entrance into politics.
His recent missive regarding McConnell, was his declaration of War, for the next four years.
I have long said, on the International arena, it is all about PDJT vs China, and in the Swamp it is all about PDJT vs McConnell.
Now, out of the Oval, PDJT can finally take on Mitch in a way he couldn’t, while IN the Oval.
IMHO, You are propogating one of many insidious attacks, intended to weaken PDJT, initiated by his enemies.
The mideast intiative was PDJT’s strategy, but the implementation was KUSHNER.
Many other key initiatives, Kushner was there, behind the scenes, making it happen.
Atacking Kushner, or “Javanca” was like attacking PDJT for his tweeting; a way to deprive him of his most effective weopons.
Listen to Don jr. clip, linked below; now that he is out of Oval, no more endorsements to Political hacks, just cause they have an “R” after their name.
He is ON it.
Oh, and suggest you quit repeating the false narratives of the enemy, since you acknowledge we are in a war, makes you a “Tokyo Rose”?
Thank you for this excellent post. I have made it my mission recently to try to counter the Jared bashing with similar responses but sometimes it gets frustrating.
Excellent point.
This is a time to be introspective about what we believe to be true. ALL of the stories about the 4 years of chaos in the Grump administration need to be objectively evaluated.
Was Bannon really a troublemaker, or was there another faction (Team Christie) that pushed him out. Jared Kushner, as you pointed out, was a man with results, picked on by armchair quarterbacks for years. What about Gorka (couldn’t get a security clearance? Really?). Or Scott Atlas on the COVID team, shunned by “scientists” for questioning the effectiveness of masks.
We now see where McConnell, Cruz, Pence, and Graham lie… the big talker crowd, who would stab you in the back to keep the gravy train going.
Listening to Jared was a disaster for PDT. Kushner, who has total contempt for Trump’s base, gave him some really bad advice. Hanging out with the Kardashians and freeing criminals. Not why I voted for Trump in 16.
Kushner was quite effective negotiating in the mideast, between the Arabs and Isralies, I believe. That team has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for their work there.
You have no idea what or whose advice Trump ultimately, on any issue, listened to Jared.
Find someone else to vote for, Mikew. There’s nothing that says you are chained to Trump.
The Jarred/Ivanka hating is ridiculous. You should really move on. That was total b.s. by the media, just like Rissia-Russia-Russia and the fact that you are a domestic terrorist because you support MAGA.
Division and Hate is what got us here

Missouri County takes 2nd Amendment sanctuary law a step further
Excerpt:
Newton County,
Missouri has enacted a Second Amendment sanctuary law that permits local law enforcement to arrest any federal officers attempting to enforce a firearms law that violates Second Amendment protections.”

According to Breitbart at https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/02/16/biden-we-didnt-have-the-vaccine-when-we-came-into-office/ – Biden said tonight in a town hall meeting televised on CNN that they didn’t have the coronavirus vaccine when he came into office. There’s a video and transcript of the inane things he said at that link.
To be clear, here is a link to Biden getting his COVID vaccine on live television on December 21, 2020, a month before he was sworn in as President: https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/21/politics/bidens-coronavirus-vaccination/index.html
Clearly, Biden must be HG Wells.
Biden TRIES to read whatever they put on the teleprompter, with help from “DR.” Jill.
The people WRITING the material THINK they are orsen wells, and can’t figure out why its not working.
Oh, Bravo!! Great retort. 🙂 If you read the word salad he spewed forth in the Breitbart link, he says there was no “vaccinator” to get the vaccine into people’s arms??? Completely gone.

Yes because I know he won’t betray his father’s legacy no matter what.
After 6 months of President Harris, people will be begging Trump to become president again. Hell, even Michael Moore and Rosie O’Donnell might get on the train.

“Bill Gates: Rich nations should move to ‘100 percent synthetic beef'”
https://thehill.com/homenews/news/538991-bill-gates-rich-nations-should-move-to-100-percent-synthetic-beef
“Impossible and Beyond have a road map, a quality road map and a cost road map, that makes them totally competitive,” Gates said, referring to popular plant-based meat companies. “As for scale today, they don’t represent 1% of the meat in the world, but they’re on their way.”
Funny… article didn’t mention that Gates is invested in both Impossible and Beyond. Minor omission.
BTW… this synthetic beef thing is right in line with the “we need to ban Red Meat to save The Earth” bullcrap… it’s part of the WEF Great Reset nonsense…
@00:30 “You’ll eat much less meat… an occasional treat, not a staple… for the good of the environment and our health…”

BURGER NAZIS!!!!!!
Not happening,
Nobody can convert a meataterian.
Well, they tried to shame us in to not purchasing SUV’s and their sales went skyrocketing.
Let’s do the same with beef and pork. Its a great diet anyway. Protein, salad and vegetables.
Nope.
Yeah, right. While you eat steak and laugh at the silly, masked hordes eating the literal ‘nothing burgers’ you demand they eat. Nope. Not happening.
Me Meatasaurus Rex. Me no eat fakey-fake “meat.” A Meatasaurus knows the difference. Meatasaurus will raise own cattle if push comes to shove. Bill can jump off the Burj Khalifa’s roof. Who made him dictator of the world?
It is well known in vegan and vegitarian communities that these fake burgers aren’t even healthy and can contain just as much or more fat.
https://www.forksoverknives.com/wellness/are-plant-based-veggie-burgers-actually-healthy/
Good heavens– synthetic beef! ?
Marketing Tip: drop the “synthetic” part when talking about food items.
This, as are most of joebama EOs, are one of the agenda items for the WEFs great reset.
The WEF also says we should eat weeds because they are nutritious and close to the earth.
Soylent green sandwich anyone?
There are certain critical nutrients that are only found in animal products. B12 comes to mind, a deficiency of which causes neurological damage.
The general public likely is not aware of this as they are pushed towards veganism without an understanding of nutritional needs.
I’m concerned that once again we have ideologues promoting global health policy to “save the planet.” Human life forms are expendable.
…well, I’ll try anyway.

And they got the most votes in history? Yeah sure.
Another day pushing Haley….
Possible explanations for Mr. GOP Consultant Guy’s commentary…
1.) In denial
2.) Does not “keep up with the news”
3.) Paid handsomely to lie
Definitely 1 and 3! And it is Alex Castellanos the Trump hater who said they should get close to him to shiv him in ribs in 2016. He also said Trump would cause them to lose house seats, the senate and governorships. You’re probably wondering who would hire such an idiot? Yup, you are correct…Romney and and McCain.
Oh My Lord ! Guess I ain’t voting if that will be the case.
There’s not enough lipstick.
Number 1 she’s horrible, number 2 she’s ineligible. The Uniparty vandalism must stop.
She’s not constitutionally eligible but when has that ever stopped the uniparty.
Never stopped Hussein O.
Ironically Obama was eligible but it was because he real father was Frank Davis. Thus Harris will likely be the first ineligible ‘President’ in American history. But heck just about everything in the Constitution and Bill of Rights has been trashed at this point.
Dont think anyone is falling for it, but it does tell us a lot about her.
The Republican Party has no interest in what the voters think and want. As always, they will decide what they want, and take for granted that the voters will succumb, as they always have. There is no representation of the people to be had with Republicans and it is a complete delusion to expect that there ever will be.
She has the best shot with the voters or with the voting machines?
That’s a great idea, whenever someone extols Ms. Haley as the best shot with voters to always change it to say ‘best shot with the voting machines”! Keep in the front of everyone’s mind the manipulating devices, make the manipulating machines the headline.
Beltway Buttheads versus America First (MAGA)
Nimrata must be a special kind of corrupt as hard as they are pushing for her.
Remember it’s racisss and white supremacissss to NOT call Haley by her real name Nimrata.
Apparently they will have to learn the hard way that they are no longer in control.
Good Lord! These people are talking to themselves again. GOP consultant aka Lincoln Project aka Swamp Pedos.
NOT.A.CHANCE.IN.HELL.
Big donors say otherwise.
Dream on, consultant prostitutes.
Kamala will be running in 2024, so the GOP thinks they need to counter with another woman.

WATCH: Joe Biden Excuses the Uyghur Genocide as ‘Just a Chinese Cultural Norm,’ Spreading CCP Propaganda
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/joe-biden-excuses-uyghur-genocide-just-chinese-cultural-norm-spreading-ccp-propaganda/
Wow. I guess nazi’s killing jews in ww2 was just a cultural norm we should not have cared about.
In retrospect, many Democrats had no problem with the German genocide of the Jews, minorities like the Gypsies, and homosexual groups. Even Roosevelt famously turned away 900 Jewish German refugees aboard the St Louis, resulting in their subsequent capture and extermination.
So, I guess this makes it easier to see Christian and conservative genocide in America as “just an American norm,” yes?

Why Aren’t School Districts Giving Taxpayers Their Money Back?
In Naperville, Illinois, the school board announced it would distribute $10 million back to taxpayers this year. Yes, a tax refund.
In a news release, Superintendent Dan Bridges told residents that he “understands the great burden many of our families have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic and hopes that this reimbursement lessens that burden.” The typical family will receive a refund of $200 to $500. Good for Naperville.
The 10-month pandemic shutdown generated a savings of roughly $20 million, or about 6.5% out of a $300 million school budget. The Naperville Sun reported that the district’s expenses for everything from transportation, utilities, staffing needs and so on have been much lower while the doors have been shut.
We all ought to be getting tax refunds for services we paid for but didn’t get, from the local to federal level.
And yet supposedly schools need even more money to reopen?
Really? You’ve used them for elections and everything under the sun besides schooling since they been “closed” to students.
You know what I loved about Socrates? Nothing. The more I was forced to read about his deep thoughts the angrier I got. I kept thinking, man I bet his wife is getting ticked off. Him spending all this time downtown philosophizing again when he should’ve been out planting or reaping something somewhere, or making something, or fixing the leaky roof, inventing air conditioning, doing something to pay the bills..hey, did you all notice the shiny new red vice grip we all got for Christmas, or are we all gonna wait til it clamps down to see that it’s too late to remove it? Our Constitution was ripped into shreds and foreign countries actually voted in our acting President. I’m not ready to say ‘Bummer, better luck next time. Let’s talk about the 2024 candidates and fix this mess by splitting some political parties.’
This election was flat out stolen, American votes were removed and replaced. Were they replaced by France, Italy, Sweden? Not as far as I saw, they were replaced by countries that make up The Axis of Evil. Communist nations. People entered our ballot machines and vote-jacked America, and those people imprison, torture and silence freedom and free living! They control their masses by starvation and theft of all they have. They steal their property, their possessions, their family, their voices and they control all with an iron fist and reign with fists of terror. And that’s what they have begun to do here, right here, by infiltrating and stealing our American freedom and our right to what each American should hold dearest and most sacred, their vote. I don’t know about you guys, but my ancestors, and I have many on this list, came here fleeing a country where they were being persecuted.
Can we get a chat room going on how we proceed to re-do this election and get a fair and legal vote count? Then proceed to remove this man who was voted in by the evil empires of this world that are currently laughing their a**es off saying ‘I can’t believe those stupid spoiled fat Americans are letting us get away with this!’ While we sharpen our minds philisophying, all the commies be like…‘Man I can’t wait to burn that country to the ground, imprison them all and take their land and possessions..!’
Can we get a game plan going…
Call me crazy or whatever, but maybe you can do a search on the internet for where that shiny new red vice grip came from and how to get rid of it 😛
I actually came across this while I was browsing the web tonite…it says unfettered conversations, i dunno I think everything is watched on the internet these days
Oh no, freedom of speech is being committed!
Lead then.
Excellent post Country Girl! I agree completely. Get a new party rolling asap and get the evidence out there that our President has been exiled by an unlawful group of traitors who criminally conspired with our foreign enemies abroad to steal our votes. The time is now people!
Excellent post Country girl. Pres Trump is watching Friday’s Supreme court romp with the brilliant Ms. Sidney Powell along with Lin Wood and I believe based on the outcome of that he will lead us to what must be done to save the “Promised Land”

Anyhow, I despise Mitt Romney, but people on this site talk about him a lot. While it is true that a lot members of my church like Romney, we don’t treat him like royalty and he doesn’t hold any high position in our church.
Next to mcconnel, error electo is the biggest stain in the republican wing of the uniparty. Hopefully Utah will see the light
Seems like many of the religions, secret societies, and political parties, start as something fresh and new then are gradually usurped by those seeking their own gain. Once in power the elites use their positions to preserve the status quo, often fostering rivalry between various groups to do so. Romney, mcConnel and the republican turncoats are great examples.
Cowards and traitors everywhere it seems.
The problem with Romney is that if you primary him and he loses, he will run in the general as a write in promising to caucus with the Republicans, win 25% of the Republican vote plus 90% of the Democrat vote and it would be very likely he would win in the general. The Democrats may even endorse Romney over their own candidate. The Democrat can’t win anyhow and with Romney he would vote with the Democrats half the time. He would be worse than Murkowski.
How would the media react if SoS Pompeo contacted Netanyahu/Israel? Sorta like John Kerry Contacting Iran during President Trump’s years in office?

The telephone man has wanted to go to live in Arkansas now for years, if Arkansas can see its way to having a great governor, I’d be willing to move in a NY minute 😛
Note: I grew up in Hot Springs, Ark
Arkanasas is quite beautiful!
LOVE that commercial Sarah, and THANK YOU for your service!
For 4-years Trump has not only talked the talk, but he has walked the talk and 100-million Patriots heard. Since the fraudulent Election people are “seeing” but still too many are still blind. This is changing as more of the blind are starting to see light.
The final stage will be the masses “feeling” pain. This takes time as to the timing for effective remedy. We always need to keep in mind Trump won the election, however, the election was “stolen” and not “earned”. The fraudulent election thus far has been accepted by crooked; Politicians, Judges, Media, Deep State and Supreme Court.
Once enough people “feel” the inevitable pain as a result of a Fraudulent President and Administration. It will become the time for the steps necessary for saving the United States of America. My guess is by sometime this summer, there will be enough “pain” being suffered to initiate the necessary action for making an unjust wrong a magnificent right.
The lessons learned will not just be heard, seen and felt. The lessons will be indelibly understood.
We are in a struggle for the West. We have the numbers and the zeal, they have the swamps…momentarily. The election steal was overt and in our face, for me the ultimate act of desperation. As dumb as it is dangerous.
We have removed our consent, but we must be alert and prepared as desperate swamp rats are capable of all manner lunacy. This is going to get bumpy.
Correct once they no longer need our consent, they don’t need care about what we think. Same deal in all Tyrannies.
Agree 100%. Praying for this every day!
Republican Uniparty members serve an important purpose for Leftist Uniparty members. They represent the lefts last line of defense.against any conservative progress that threatens their globalist agenda. They have been running interference, and getting handsomely rewarded for it for a long time now. Then 2016 happened, ending in PDJTs victory. Since then, they have been reluctantly forced out of the shadows one by one, when attempting to derail and sabotage anything relating to America First.

Success! Thanks 104. I was in second grade when the teacher left the room, came back crying and said we were all to go home. 1963.
lol – me, too!
With Trumps “love letter” to the turtle, there are 90% of 435 and 100 in the cesspool he can similarly talk about. He doesn’t need to talk about “2” specifically or by name. He can make it so they are the elephant in the room everyone knows about. If he talks directly of them, MSM will surely call it “Insurrection 2.0″……regardless of truthfulness. We all know they would. That would be an unforced error on his part. He can control the narrative by everyone but them. He needs to go totally silent on those 2……ignore them.
“…….control the narrative by talking about everyone but them…..”
By exposing McConnell, President Trump has also thereby exposed his minions.
The Chinese Connection is especially unsettling, and should unsettle every American.
Biden and McConnell and their ilk are true “Manchurian Candidates.”
They are–except the word “candidate” implies they can lose. The Manchurian CheatWare Machines took care of that.
I would guess it has been many years since anyone told “turtle” what they reall think of him. Especially painful for Mitch, when true and well earned contempt hits the mark.
Our Communist DEMS and their exporting of Cancel Culture/Hate White People/Hate Western Civilization have begun to annoy French Conservatives (yes, there are such creatures!):
So the main “American-made product” exported by our Communist DEMS is hatred of our own civilization.
See:

Public education is ground zero .
This is the simplest explanation I’ve come across to explain the problem for those who don’t grasp the enormity of the problem
It shouldn’t be hard to tell a 5’9” white guy that he’s not a 6’5” Chinese woman. But clearly it is. Why? What does that say about our culture? And what does that say about our ability to answer the questions that actually are difficult? J Blackholm .
“What does that say about our culture? And what does that say about our ability to answer the questions that actually are difficult? ”
It says nothing good.
Part of the purpose of American Kulcher (sic) is to avoid pondering such questions.
The purposeless, unexamined Life is the goal of a society, where people are taking drugs for the slightest reason – or for no valid reason! – where escapism constantly fills their time, whether it is a phone, the Internet, cable television, etc.
Silence and a thinking, meditative mind are not allowed!!!
It is appalling to hear and see the absolute garbage produced by The Kulcher – which is primarily run by Communist DEMS in Hollywood and the East Coast – and doubly appalling to realize how the greatest things produced by our civilization, from Alkan to Zemlinsky in Music, from Aristophanes to Stefan Zweig in Literature, etc. etc. etc. etc. are languishing unheard, unread, and unexperienced.
I’ve been a Tree per for many years and have never posted a single word, always coming back day after day (hour after hour?)to learn from Sundance and all you good people. Thru the highest imaginable to the lowest pit of depression I come here to celebrate or comiserate. I’m joining in today because,as I’ve been telling my wife these last 3 months, things very often don’t turn out the way you think they will. The event’s of the last week or so have given me a very real feeling that these foolish criminal uniparty traitors have gone so far so fast that now, many more people who don’t pay close attention, are starting to wake up. Will this be enough to begin to change the way we, and our great President, have been brutalized these past years? Probably not. Baby steps. But as for me? I feel change in the air.
Trust your instincts, WFB III.
And don’t be a stranger. Your voice is important.
Welcome, WFB and keep your thoughts coming. I have never needed the Treehouse like I do now, in the times we are in – I value everything I read here. It helps soothe the soul amidst the chaos and daily injustices.
William F. Buckley, III I suspect? 😉
Yes, feel free to write more, and I hope your sense of change in the air against Communist DEMS is correct!
I too read much much more than I post.
Haven’t posted or read in a while.
I hope you are right WFB III we need to get back to a true United States of America and get our policies back
it is going to be quite a show when SloJO (Jill) decides he will not go along with the plan for him to step down for Kamala. We know this was what the 48 million Biden voters had in mind when they voted for a 78 year old man with declining mental abilities. As Joan Rivers said ” Everyone knows it”
What are they going to do, impeach the faux president for having cognitive decline, when everyone knew this was an issue. Yep quite the show.
.
Where are the transcripts of the calls Kamala is having with World Leaders? LETS GO!
Come on Republicans, where are you? This is so easy. Do we have to ask the questions and do your jobs too?
Yes–Actual President’s phone calls were fair game. I want to hear France tell her to slow down on the Socialism. I want to hear Justin Castro Jr. tell her to cool it on the Communism.

Sorry for the screwed up link
The question is being asked, who is actually running things? We know that Kamala is taking calls. We also know she is too stupid and uninformed to actually be doing more than repeating what she’s told.
Who is doing the telling? Who is running America?
Great question.
And the “who” is probably plural, not singular.
Somebody has to leak it first. That’s how info on President Trump’s calls got released. We were never short on leakers, were we?
Who is running America? Could it be “Organizing for Action” otherwise known as the 3rd term of the worst President ever.
I saw “running” and read “ruining”
The Kleptocracy is running America. Most of our Representatives are just paid for stooges. That is until PDJT came in upset the skimming operation. So the Kleptocracy fixed the voting system so they don’t need the consent of the governed anymore. Not that it matter much because we rarely had a choice that wasn’t someone in the uni-party. Again, until PDJT came along.
Susan Rice… Ron Klain… John Kerry… Dr. Jill… Elmo… Tinky Winky…
That’s probably the Inner Circle running the whole deal. Ok, maybe not Tinky Winky. Though I think s/he’s supposed to be the gay character, sooooo… maybe.
I think one of the people is Susan Rice and if you research her, she is way scarier than Kamala or Joe. Unlike them, she has a functioning brain.
Please NO to David Perdue in Georgia. Please find a MAGA candidate. Please Georgia.
Great minds, magatrump – Doug Collins.
Maybe Herschel Walker? He supported President Trump and he ISN’T a politician which is a positive thing.
Some good news some may not have heard –
Former Rep and MAGA Superstar Doug Collins has accepted an offer to do a radio show out of Atlanta, which will be available world-wide online.
John Fredericks, who owns several radio stations and Star newspapers in Virginia, has purchased WMLB out of Atlanta, and all shows go live 1 March 2021.
MAGA Superstar Collins has agreed to do a show from 3-4 every weekday.
Fredericks has not mentioned the show format, but Fredericks’ stations and shows are generally opinion and call-in.
Eric Erickson has some Mega Hi-Grade MAGA coming his way to straighten Georgia out.
Please mark your calendars.
MAGA Rolls On!
This is an idea that has been raised.
I’m not endorsing it, I’m just putting it out there for inspection.
Seriously, Trump has said over and over he is not interested in politics. Trump’s only interest is MAGA. Anyway, Trump will be President within the year. The only reason Trump is not President as of now is because of fraud. If fraudulent elections are not stopped here in the United States, Jesus Christ himself couldn’t be elected dog-catcher.
Then he could finally pick his own appointees!
Just ’cause it is worth repeating.
A Win Win Win
Prayers for the good people of Texas.
Have we heard anything from FEMA? Who is helping these people?
IDK, but I remember T Boone Pickens talking about how great windmills are.
Maybe they need to get the vaccine first./////sarc

I play a game with my kiddos and friends “Word of the day” use the words to build a great vocabulary.
Today’s word brought to you by Donald J Trump used in his latest statement “Dour”
dour adjective
\ ˈdau̇(-ə)r , ˈdu̇r \
Definition of dour
1
: STERN, HARSH
a dour expression on her face
2
: OBSTINATE, UNYIELDING
an insistent hunger for learning and a dour … determination to achieve it
— Walter Moberly
3
: GLOOMY, SULLEN
a dour disposition
I used to call Mitch McConnel “Turtle” but have now changed his name to “Dour Turtle” I think that fits well.
My senator BarrASSos expressions are a textbook example of dour.
Sandra, has the article you were interviewed for been published yet? I would love to read it!
I look every day to see if it has and the last article the “journalist” wrote was Feb 4. I watch this page https://www.reuters.com/journalists/jason-lange
Nelson County in Kentucky sent an open letter to McConnell demanding he resign since he is rejecting the will of the conservative voters. It notes that as Republican senate leader, McConnell is the effective leader of the Republican party.
This is where you really need to accept that it isn’t just McConnell. It is all of the senior Republicans including the RNC staff. And they are “senior” Republicans because they were elected by the majority of the Republican office holders or selected by them. Look at former Republican and RNC leaders. They are ALL hand maidens to the left.
Trump’s letter stated that as long as there is such leadership in the Republican party, it has no chance of ever winning against the left. This opens the door to exiting the party as they are not going to give up power. It doesn’t take 2 to fight. One person can be passively on his knees while the other beats on him. We are in a fight and it is high time we get off our knees and punch back with a real opposition party.
