As just about everything falls apart due to intended outcomes from Biden policy, it is increasingly obvious the water carriers for the regime are struggling to find new ways to defend the White House. However, a recent approach seems to have gained traction and was noted by Tucker Carlson tonight.
Instead of the media and White House defending the high gas prices, massive food price increases, fuel costs, home heating costs, energy costs, and empty shelves as a result of regulatory strangleholds and poor policy, the narrative engineers are now telling everyone to “lower their expectations” for what things should be. That way if you walk into a supermarket and there is an apple for sale, you will be surprised at the apple and avoid noticing hundreds of feet of empty shelves.
In his opening monologue Tucker Carlson gives several examples. WATCH:
“This is fine”…
If we lower our expectations we won’t miss America so much after she is gone. Some plan. The Chicago leftists offer nothing but misery. This whole lowering of expectations is the same thing Jimmy Carter tried to sell. Couldn’t sell it then. Can’t sell it now.
Trump still won.
We have to accept this. It’s the “new norm”. Like PDJT said, everything liberals touch turns to shit. Only this is on a grand scale….
Just who the hell is going to buy this BS? Only the worst of the Liberal Loons will. Wait until the people start getting their home heating fuel bills now that the weather has cooled down in the northern parts of the Country. Running out of toilet papoer is one thing, spending most of your hard earned money of BILLS is another.
I just had to have a discussion about a long over due hair appointment vs groceries. Times are tough and can’t go to another job without vaccines.
We have learned how to cut our own hair by watching YouTube videos. Passable. Not great but will do.
If there was ever a time to be a jack of all trades, now’s the time. I learned to use the Oster dog clippers to do my oldster hair a decade ago during the last recession and didn’t look back.
IMO, pay attention to and support those generalists who have solid survival skills. When things get rough, they’ll survive and will remember who used them for selfish reasons and who respected and supported them. Personally, I never forget and no amount of psyops and wordsmithing can sway it.
When FJB and his Commie collaborators in media and the corporate world drill smoking holes I’ll smile. Lets go Brandon.
FJB=(Jimmy Carter)^2 = (Barack Obama)^4
Our nation is on the fast track to becoming another Venezuela. We can thank the media for the major role they played in the collapse of America. FJB!
as dismissive as many may be of their purportedly declining impact and influence, the MSM, to this day wield very significant power over public opinion.
MSM is the tool and they have learned the lesson of the Nazis very well.
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play. The tune does not matter, so long it is the only one the public is allowed to hear. Eventually they will all dance.” – Joseph Goebbels
Time for other music.
After the Nuremberg trials the nurses & Drs. Who participated were hung along with the media that misled the public.
True this!
Not one person needs to justify to anyone why they won’t be vaccinated! Your word and your stance is the only thing that matters, no one can claim you’re not religious enough, no one can claim or demand for you to provide a letter from a priest, rabbi or any other person.
Your word and your beliefs cannot be challenged. Everything else is bluster. For those that try to claim otherwise, simply means someone other than yourself is speculating something they have no proof of.
You want to claim religion as to why… Then DO IT!
1st paragraph says it all…DON’T make an excuse .. you chose NOT to get the jab.. period..????
The jab is truly a personal decision, not a government mandate. Should you choose to get the jab is your choice, and shall you refuse that is your choice. I respect your decision. What happened to the mantra of “MY BODY MY CHOICE”?
Re: What happened to the mantra of “MY BODY MY CHOICE”?
It’s still alive and well when the topic is abortion; but, Dead On Arrival anytime it does NOT align with the anti-American agenda of the F/Joe Biden regime.
God bless you VoteAllIncumbantsOut, you are 100% correct.
Very good, but very disturbing post Sundance. Yet I Am furious beyond even my own comprehension after watching the Tucker Carlson post. “Women” like Sak- of -it ” with her false eyelashes on without censorship by anyone spouting her BS is what I think it called non-censorship. to the 9th degree. Meanwhile back at the ranch all is going into Hades. .
I know these morons do not have any clue what I have experienced in my life. A sister who died in a car crash with a “Peaceful Protest” black arm band on her arm. After sitting in on restaurants, working to get the yes, NEGRO nation to register to vote.
But those were the Martin Luther King days .How those times have changed and gone..
I feel soul sick. I really do. So much has gone ROTTEN and everyone saying ” just deal with it” is almost too much . But not yet for me.
I want to go our of this world with a smile on my lips with the knowledge that the enemies against the US must, in their afterlife, meet up with them selves. I can’t even imagine how long it will take for these morons to get off of the Great Karmic Wheel. More incarnations if these morons coming back to perpetuate evil is beyond my ken.
For whatever comfort companionship in your feelings is worth, I am with you. And soul sick is a perfect description.
I wake up each morning with that feeling, almost nausea, that there is no where to go but down some more. I know it’s defeatist. But it’s a feeling that simply washes over me. What next, I ask myself.
It’s a case of reading posts like yours speaking of your travails and those of loved ones. It’s watching Australia, Lithuania where food is denied to those who don’t submit, the same in the Duchy of Hesse, and in Israel (which has forgotten all her tragic history) and is now essentially another Auschwitz for the German Pfizer.
It’s no good telling myself to turn away from all of this for a moment, have a cup of tea, and focus on the joys that are still with us, for the moment anyway. I cannot ignore the devastation which has been wrought on millions, is being wrought still.
So I am with you in spirit. You’ve expressed your feelings so well. I pray that our great Way Maker will have mercy and show us how to overcome the unmitigated evil which has free rein and which I simply do not comprehend.
And for what it’s worth, I noticed for the one brief moment that I looked at her that Psaki has decided to up her game, so to speak, with those ridiculous false eyelashes, not even put on well.
The thought that in the midst of all the appalling deliberate mismanagement
this stupid, ignorant, smirking, arrogant woman actually wastes her time trying to turn herself from mutton into lamb is grotesque in the extreme. Nothing will prettify the ugly soul that shows itself on her face.
Amen, Betsy, AMEN!
Perhaps their Karma well be fulfilled when they receive exclusive to the insider “live forever” treatment.
Then they will be forced to live into perpetuity in the bed they made & worse only with like minded sociopaths.
My Twilight Zone fantasies bring me delight!
Instead of Tucker being a traitor to the cause because he disagreed with Trump….he’s now a valuable asset?
Forgiven?
Or do the “everyone who doesn’t agree with Trump 100%” plebs now understand he’s their most important and influential ally in the media?
My chuckle for the day.
Tucker is a avatar, pointing to where the doer of deeds could have done them better while selling cold water detergent hold up in a cabin in Maine
The idea we should concern ourselves of him when national leadership purposely destroying our nation….laughable.
Oh dear….
We have no allies in national media.
Hannity is a low intellect goose.
Tucker is the only sophisticated operator essentially supporting us, but the Trump bogans want to treat their most important ally as unclean because he is not an uncritical Trump supporter.
Give me strength. You better concern yourself with Tucker because there is no-one else with reach in national media that comes close. You very silly person.
Tucker seems an eccentric, capable of iconoclastic thought.
Hannity is not worthy of the benefit of the doubt.
No reasonable person could assert that the FBI has only a few “bad apples”.
If you were planting a double agent, Hannity would be the result.
TV journalism, in general, is not worthy of the benefit of the doubt.
Skim and sample, but do not take them seriously.
The internet is our ephemeral gift. Cherry pick your facts, until the end comes.
I already dismissed Hannity, what is your comment about otherwise?
Relying for Raptor:
We need to lower expectations of media too.
I’m afraid mine can’t go any lower. There is a bottom, and they reached it years ago.
Honestly, could our expectations be any LOWER!
Could they get any lower?
Please learn some English grammar. Then we will begin to take your arguments seriously and see you as an intelligent human instead of a bot or whatever. Hint: You need a verb in a sentence so when you say, “You very silly person” you have omitted the verb and your comment seems well, silly.
Au contraire, mein Freund. No verb needed. Think, e.g., of “You silly goose!”
Speaking of grammar: in your own post, there should be a comma after “seems”.
Rocks, glass houses.
Cheers !!
I am not your boyfriend. First, I am female and second, I am merely a friend not your girlfriend which would be meine freundin. (Check google)
Also, no capitalization needed for freund.
Just sayin’. Rocks, glasshouses and all that jazz.
Grammar Dictators seem never to see the forest for the trees. Annoying.
Strike a nerve did I?
Was it your inaccurate grammar pronouncement or “Tucker is the only sophisticated operator essentially supporting us, but the Trump bogans want to treat their most important ally as unclean because he is not an uncritical Trump supporter”….that did it?
🙂
Hannity, Tucker, etc. have all let me down at some time or another. I remind myself that they have to eat and pay their mortgage. That’s my filter.
Wonder if Tucker gets visits from Tulsi?
But Tucker moved his family to that cabin in the woods after the Left held a large demonstration in front of his home threatening to kill everybody. I doubt if he will ever forget that.
Tucker is still sticking to his opinion that WE ELECTED Biden. That statement overpowers anything he can ever say, IMO. He is just another MONITOR like the guy in the commercial. “Oh, I don’t actually fix anything I’m here just to tell you about a problem. Bye now!”
?
Tucker is a constitutional libertarian. He is neither right or left. There are many of us out here, it’s just we and our common sense approaches are never heard.
I am registered as NPA…no party affiliation. Many of my friends have done the same, or registered as Independents.
In FL we have the option of changing parties 30 days prior to the primaries…most of us do so, and re-register after the general elections.
I have always voted for the “best suited for the job” person, with no regrets.
There are many of us who quietly do this!!! And we do not show up on any pollsters’ lists.
Donald Trump’s worst enemy is himself. I voted for him, and will vote for him again. But let’s be honest, if you dare. He is not the perfect icon many depict him as being, and for all of his intelligence and knowledge, (which should be his legacy), what do people remember about him? The nasty tweets, name calling, etc;
Tucker, like many of us, just points out the truth pimples…and so many people can’t stand hearing anyone criticize Donald Trump in any way. Period.
At the moment, other than Ron DeSantis, there are very few to equal a Trump leadership out of this mess. This will take decades to restore this country, and partisan arguments will not expedite the restoration.
It begins with honesty. Not blind devotion to one party or another. And despite what y’all think about Tucker, right now he is one of the few researching and broadcasting truths..pimples and all.
Many people who support Trump have the complaint about his “nasty tweets”. I have often asked myself, if I gave up a very prosperous, luxurious lifestyle to serve my Country and the great people of this nation… how would I respond to such dynamic attacks against myself and my family? (Machiavellianism depths into the Dark Triad) Total deviants!
My conclusion, I marvel at his constraint.
Case in point, his nasty post regarding the death of Colin Powell.
We are aware of Powell’s past blunders. Can’t we just offer condolences without bringing up Powell’s past? It was rather tasteless. If you want to run for office again, postings like this do not add anything to your goals.
There are better ways to win a battle and war.
Colin Powell slammed President Donald Trump for “attempting to overturn the government” on January 6. Colin Powell blasted Donald Trump as a “national disgrace”. Colin Powell said that he would not use this word with the four presidents he’s served, but President Trump “lies” about things. And, the list of attacks from Powell goes on………..
President Donald Trump released a statement on the former Secretary of State…yes, true to his style. Personally, I’m sick of the hypocrisy. I’d much prefer to deal with “tasteless” realism. Authenticity is what Americans have accepted about him. Trump had to make a statement …. as always Trump speaks his truth. Anything less would be phony.. he’s not fake. That I applaud.
Well said. The perfect is the enemy of the good.
Trump’s problem is and was that the swamp turns out to be global. The power arrayed against him and us is immense. Same with Tucker. I’m sure he’s allowed to go just so far and no further if he wants to keep doing what he can to help salvage what’s left of the country, which is quite a lot when you compare him to everyone else.
The only thing left for us is start building from the ground up. To do that, you have to keep from getting infected by the group psychosis generated by Big Brother’s psy ops. He controls the topmost realms, but his influence can only extend so far before it becomes attenuated.
From that standpoint, it’s a good thing we have Trump and Tucker to help keep us sane. Really, though, the Bible is the place to turn. The Old Testament is surprisingly helpful in showing why we’re experiencing this, what to expect, and what is required to move beyond it.
“In their affliction, they will rise early to me. Come let us return to the Lord. For He hath taken us, and He will heal us: He will strike, and He will cure us.” (Hosea 6:1-2)
Excellent! Thank You!
Powell was a war criminal and I’m supposed to ignore his “past blunders”. He directly contributed to the uncounted deaths in Iraq.
there was a legitimate effort to get Powell and others before a war crime tribunal. it failed, but it was the right thing to do. about the only time I agreed with the actions of the international “court”
You seem to have forgotten all the nasty things the left and MSM and their followers have said about Trump. Is it ok for them?
Personally, I have thought Trump did it in a calculated way to get more attention for himself. He was using the nastiness to get attention and intensity and it is the reason he won and keeps winning. He draws everyone in and it’s all about him IMHO in a good way. That’s how he beat out 16 primary opponents and how he turned around Norrh Korea etc on a world stage.
If he hadn’t had these so-called nasty tweets they would have made up something else to criticize him for.
can’t we.?
no.
I rarely go around pointing at a person’s failures when they die.
Powell DESERVES every criticism…and then some.
but you see, no body cares what regitiger thinks.
but PRESIDENT TRUMP can express his views and everyone listens.
question: did you stop to find out WHY President Trump insulted him?
I would recommend that you might want to know about Powell…the whole ugly… not that sweet sugar the media slathered on him.
there IS a point to be made when someone’s life is spent telling lies that got thousands DEAD!! let’s not pretend they get a free pass because they managed to live to 84.
he’s a puke.
and Trump was right.
you know why most people voted and elected him TWICE as POTUS?..he doesn’t hold anything back. it’s a leadership style we’ve never had .. because WIMPS and yellow political correct politicians don’t want to offend someone’s whittle feelings .
the timing was perfect
perspective:
president Trump, only president in 40 years not to get the us into another war!
Powell:. knowing lied to get the us into the Iraqi war.. knowingly manipulated his professional oath to advance a military campaign against a country that never had a single thing to do with 911.
perspective!
So not true Regitiger, I care what you think. When I come on site.. your comments are my fav. Thanks for your contributions.
Re “If you want to run for office again, postings like this do not add anything to your goals.”
Such postings DO add something beneficial for me. But then, I’ll take absolute truth over fake, and unwarranted, respect for evil every time.
Colin Powell played several presidents for fools; or, he played their game and thereby played the citizenry for fools. But, President Trump saw his true colors and still does. Kudos to him for not offering false praise for evil!
In my opinion, saying nice things about bad people after they die is a slap in the face of good people.
Like my preacher says, “If I’m preparing to preach a funeral and God tells me the deceased was not a born again Christian, I cannot lie and tell the family they will see their loved one in Heaven.”
Tucker is a lone voice on main stream media. I am thankful that he does bring up issues that others ignore. We have to get past the stolen election. I watched in horror that night and the months following as our nation was torn from us. I wonder if we will ever get it back. Never in my 70 years did I think America would become communistic, but we are sliding down that path. Where are the rebels? Where are the patriots? Who is sounding the alarm. We have to get past our devotion to Trump and get down on our knees and beg for God’s forgiveness.
“We have to get past the stolen election. ”
NO, we don’t! EVERYTHING hinges on this. Many Patriots have spent, and are spending, thousands of hours bringing the election FRAUD to light, and that effort MUST continue.
People obsess over the nasty tweets because the MSM told them to. It’s sad what a deathgrip it has on weak minds.
Tucker to his credit mocks those pearl-clutchers daily.
Really? Are you trying to start arguments?
Tucker is a sell-out or a phony. Always has been – he was a phony intellectual, then a libertarian, then flirted with populism in the time of Trump.
Now he’s resisting from his expensive personal studio in Maine while FOX employees (not talent) were forced to jab or fired. And he’s all concerned about the consequences of a stolen election when he went along with the steal for his multi-million dollar pay check.
That being said if he’s useful to the cause we should use him.
Yeah I’ve been over Tucker for a while. Basically he’s the token conservative on Fox and nothing ever comes of his rants.
Tucker is out for Tucker IMO. I view him neither as enemy nor ally. He’s a MSM mouthpiece. He’s shaping perception by reaching masses of people and forming a convincing narrative which fills his coffers with cash.
PDJT was an excellent canary, identifying the enemy targets and processes. Not a savior. That is reserved for the Lord.
Media Strategy to Inflate Joe Biden Poll Numbers is “Lower Your Expectations”
Or
“The Fourth Branch” Strategy?
During the Depression, the American elite were understandably concerned about a revolution.
The solution invented was the welfare state.
This device has been abused, with welfare for the middle-class and even the rich (right, Elon Musk?) so that we have multi $trillion government debt, across the western world.
The solution can only be a severe attrition in the # of people dependent on government largesse.
Co-Vid kills the very old, and the sky is blue. The vile messengers of the rich called the news media do not feature this. They continue to insist that children are severely at risk from Co-Vid. A lie, a lie.
The solution offered, the vaccines, destroy the immune system. A terrible cold and flu season is being predicted.
The poor continue to support the leftist parties, across the western world. They fear the welfare state will be aborted.
The elderly in America vote Republican. If only there were some device to reduce their numbers..
Great snark! Another winning basement-rich cam-pain slow-gan!
I love that. Should get falgs like that made and hung over every overpass in the country.
Wasn’t that actually a skit on SNL many years ago when it was still funny??
Human moral and philosophical achievement peaked at the Enlightenment. All men are created equal. That window of intellectual wisdom created America and the Constitution.
It didn’t last long. Most revolutions since have been counter revolutions. The nadir of human thought came in the 19th century – Marxism, fascism, anarchism, progressivism etc.
Our elite are now focused on neo-feudalism. A return to the comfortable world view that dominated humanity for centuries. The welfare state is serfdom re-stated: be loyal to your betters, and they will take care of you. The poor vote, across the western world, for the leftist parties that uphold the welfare state.
As Tucker is describing, serfs were promised a floor and a ceiling. You will not starve, but you will not rise above your social status in life. The rich fear upward mobility more than anything else. Queen Elizabeth wants to be sure her idiot son Charles is safe; that is the universal concern of the elite.
Most of the achievements and discoveries that drove humanity forward during the industrial revolution came from America and pockets of Britain (Scotland, in particular). The glory days of Scotland are gone, and the welfare state has swallowed them up.
If progress is not in the interests of the rich and powerful, will there be progress? They had electric cars in the 19th century – big deal. Where is nuclear fusion, much discussed? When and if it appears, the Left will object. Matter is energy; future generations will mock us for the ludicrous trope of an energy shortage.
The price of natural gas has increased 500% in Europe this year. Cold is far more dangerous than global warming: that harsh truth will be demonstrated this winter. The poor and old will freeze if the winter is harsh. Such a convenient calamity..
Poor people are no longer needed to perform the grunt labor of the world. Poor people will soon not be needed to fight the endless wars of the world – robots are a better solution. How to remove the surplus of poor people? How about a pandemic?
“Cold is far more dangerous…”
Yup. Buckle up.
…or the replacement population that is with us now and still coming.

I was planning for someone to say this (lol)
Well done Halley.
“Lower your expectations” is just a repackaged version of the Obama administration’s mantra of “embrace the suck”.
Lower your expectations? Yet another similarity to Jimmy Carter who told us all to put on a sweater and turn the thermostat down to 62 deg.
Carter also famously said we all should “tighten our belts.” FJEC FJRB FTheDemocratParty
Looks like the SDS Radicals Et Al, have wormed their way into every facet of our Government and are overthrowing America. They have China for every kind of support that they need. The CCP are paying the families of the people or other 3rd parties who are in charge of things. They Rigged an election in real-time on live TV and then convinced a lot of idiots their eyes were lying to them with their Vast media resources.
I see it,feel it and know what is going on but feel powerless to do anything to change that. what am I going to do VOTE ? you see what I mean.
I get very mad at people I see who are seem like normal people who defend what is going on and look at me like I am the crazy one. And when I see people driving around alone wearing a mask . I’m pretty confident if i stopped them and had a conversation they would give me answers to every question i asked that were the exact opposite to what the reality I see or what is actually real. I sometimes wonder if i am dead and this is HELL ! It is bizarre world. Up is down and down is up,Black is white etc.
The new goverment is very predictable that is for sure ! You ask yourself what is the right thing to do, or what is the best thing I can do for the “American” people and then they do the opposite.
“The new normal” 2.0
Can’t, I have standards. FJB
It’s what they do is destroy. If you look at everything that has been done for decades in this country has been for our detriment, The Great Society, Immigration Acts 65/86, Nixon opens China, CRA Community Reinvestment Act, Wars in the ME sand box, NAFTA, 9-11, Patriot Act, Quantitative Easing, Barry the Destroyer… There are so many things in my life that have been done for our own good in DC we can see it clearly see the strings of the Marionette.
Thank you President Donald J Trump. Now, what are we going to do about it?
At this rate, we will be a 3rd world country at the end of 2Y.
That’s THE plan. RAM it all through in first 2Y and hope for the best and get what we can get, from obama’s marxists regime that are using Joe/Jill (what pawns and dupes they must feel). They have NO control over anything and ‘act’ as if they do. How demeaning; how stupid and what dream/fantasy they desired to be the First Couple, only to be made fools of…and their entire family….can you imagine having Hunter as a son and seeing his whores/cocaine/laptop woes over all the news?
RAM through…what sticks, sticks and we get a win. Lose an agenda, move on to the next ram-it-through policy…..act…
TAKE OVER schools, health care, auto industry, green energy, fossil fuels, wind, solar, turbine, universities…KEEP pushing something EVERYDAY.
EMPOWER IRS, DOJ, FBI to destroy the country’s founding, its core roots. Jail, arrest anyone that dares speak out, whether the Jan 6th Capitol incident OR LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD meetings……they are TERRORISTS
And we make everyone sheepel…..we calm them down, shut them down, quiet them down and CONTROL them….
HHHhhhmmm ??? Why does all of this seem so familiar. OOOhh thats right it was the Obama ” these jobs are not coming back” The demorats have a plan to destroy America and Trump was a blip on their radar so they are now back to destroying America with Joe.
With Obama, they called it the new normal… America’s decline 2.0.
That’s “Obama”. We don’t know who he is.
Amazing…….
Can anyone name an Administration that has EVER told the American people to lower their expectations?
That in of itself sums up what the left is all about.
Heaven help us if we must go to war under these absolutely incompetent idiots.
What people need to fully realize this is Obama’s 3rd term and plan.
The chant must change from FJB to FBO
Until Americans call out the person behind the curtain, nothing will change.
Obama – “This is as good as it gets…”
Go backwards better. Revert to failing policy (all by design).
Americans, all real Americans, do not lower their expectations. Such an idea is hateful to Americans.
Joe Biden is illegitimate and every damn person on earth knows it.
It’s Jimmy Carter all over again. Wait for Biden to appear on TV in a sweater telling us the the high price of home heating fuel is the “new normal”. To paraphrase/modify Paul Simon “Where have you gone, Ronald Reagan? The nation turn it’s lonely eyes to you.”
Hypocrites all! This “decline” disproportionally affects the poor. The “middle class” can afford to move, purchase security mechanism and freedom sticks, as well as the accompanying projectiles in bulk. And indeed, that is just what is happening – the Great Migration out of America’s declining urban centers. Those left behind are most at risk. This, of course, is their plan, because they care not about human beings.
The reigning regime doesn’t give one hoot about poor single mothers, the elderly, the disabled, vets, young men with no direction or fathers. They, in fact, exacerbate those situations. The Democrat Party, sadly now the DemMarxCommunist party are directly responsible for the demise of the people they say they are helping. Nancy Pelosi, “…we feed the people”. She should step down and never be heard from again, and the same for all the Congressional Hypocrites who have bought the lie. God is watching and He soon will intervene, somehow, some way.
My blood boils.
If it makes you feel better, with the built in inflation and vaxx mandates the middle class will be poor soon.
Couldn’t agree with you more. I have been saying this for a while as I live in a poor area. The middle class are also feeling the squeeze of outlandish prices. We have struggled with getting anything at stores, even a light bulb for our stove. Lowe’s had one yesterday, not really what we wanted. So sad to see what is happening to our country. We all need to organize and fight this tyranny! We have joined local groups and are trying to help them grow. Somehow people need to wake up and smell the coffee-before it’s gone!
Being a product of Depression era parents, it was ingrained to build a solid base and reach for more as opportunity arose. I remember, as a child, there were peanut butter jar tops screwed to the bottom of the workbench holding nails my mom straightened out ‘just in case’. Nothing was wasted, not a nail, not a used peanut butter jar.
Yet we lived a comfortable single income middle class life and I went to private school. I kept one of those jars and it’s in my garage in the forest as a reminder. Hope for the best but plan for the rest.
I have your oven light bulb, in fact a whole selection of light bulbs. Even have some colored bulbs from the 1950’s. I do envy those who can still enjoy the smell and taste of coffee. It tore up my gall bladder so had to quit it. Miss that smell. Good times. At the other end of life if we’re lucky we have a few loved ones and memories. And the wind blowing through the trees. Life is good, even if impoverished a bit. That’s OK.
Oh – they’re bringing back that golden oldie from the Obama years, “New Normal.”
Retreaded slogans are TIGHT!
WARNING!
Your government is imploding
before your eyes. Stay calm
and make your way to the
nearest “conspiracy theorist”
for further direction.
?
If only…the government isn’t imploding, it is TAKING OVER!
The fun part is how many people look at 2022 as a chance to retake Congress and change things.
Nothing will change. The Government party switches from their home to their road jerseys, and Republicans will spend the next 2 years fundraising on “stopping Biden” while kicking in the agenda that will pass Congress soon.
Lower your expectations.
Or we can lower the number of elected representatives in Congress ?
Why are their so many posts criticizing Tucker? He is on our side. I did not always agree with DJT, (staff and cabinet picks, vaccine duplicity, and not firing many who undermined him), but I damned well support him. Tucker is in front of the nation telling the truth. What in the heck is you people’s problem with that? Do you good people not realize that a huge chunk of the population are not as informed as the Treehouse faithful? Sundance does a wonderful job but the shallowness of some of his readers defies logic. Duh!
I would have beat that ‘turd about the head and face with my 10lb purse. What happened to Americans? My daughter used to take the train into Temple.
One day there was a white man in a van who followed her from her car. It was obvious she was afraid. The young black men who came here from Philly to work, surrounded her as she made her way to the train and was able to call police. The van man disappeared.
She told us that those young black men watch out for people in casual, unassuming ways. Like with her, casually surrounding her as if the crowd as surging. They weren’t friends, just common travelers.
She also met a woman who has been traveling by train for decades who has seen everything from murder to ?
Idk what happened here. I’ll never blame the victim. I will say, that in this day and age, it would take a small old lady with enough pissed offedness to hit someone with her purse without thought to herself bc it’s a good chance that the Philadelphia police chief would throw me in jail instead of the rapist. In fact, I’m sure that I would be thrown in jail for assault. While the rapist becomes the victim.
Nobody cares. They own our voting results, they own our money. We are simply slaves to their egos and crazy utopian/dystopian fantasy.
Sell that sh!t!!! 2 short years ago we were enjoying the greatest economy in history. Now 18 months of ruin and WE should lower OUR expectations? What a whiff that is…. Dumocrats are gonna have to pay $5.50 for gas too. GTFOH.
Ruin caused by Poor leadership and governance.
I’m curious how many Americans – even those retired or currently not faced with mandates or other layoffs in their jobs are not spending money because they can see the economy is failing and also don’t know when they will be targeted by the regime?
I am submitting an exemption to my government contractor employer even though I think it’s unlikely to be approved despite how illegal the denial of accommodation would be as I require no accommodation to my workplace or work.
That being said – if I were to get an exemption, I have no intention of spending any money. I will be saving every penny going forward no vacations, restaurant food, new electronics, clothes, or anything else. I am not buying gifts for the extended family anymore and have drastically cut my kids Christmas presents. I can’t be the only one.
You are not alone. I see the economy crumbling all around us. Hard times are on the way. Many people are not prepared at all. Forcing essential workers out of their jobs because they won’t comply with the mandates will cause massive chaos. It is all so the federal government can implement martial law. We have allowed God to be taken out of our lives and this is the result. We need to repent and pray for forgiveness.
Amen, Lulu.
I saw it coming back in the 80’s so while business was good I did all the fun stuff and explored the world while young and healthy. Now I look out the window at the humble construction projects I’ve got going in the forest and live a simple, economical life.
Instead of buying stuff I give neighbors and friends the gift of my time and skills and some of the stuff accumulated over the decades that interaction indicates they might enjoy or value or preserve.
Something I’ve noticed over the decades is that generosity of spirit and deed has been sorely lacking in my life so I pay it forward as health allows. What others choose to be and do is between them and God. I thank Him every day for good health, especially in these trying times.
Save away. Right here with ya Lulu… told the hubby to cancel that GD Amazon or he’s not getting laid, and the kids are pis*ed that I drive past Target but that woke factory is closed to us. I’m buying chickens when the cat dies… we’ll have eggs for Easter.
Watched 3/4s of this then got tired of how he tried to make everything fit into his two points.
Lower your expectations and this is how it’s always been.
He’s a articulate and intelligent but I also find him smarmy and condescending. But he reaches a lot people and does some good. Does he ever talk about ‘vaccine’ deaths and adverse reactions?
He also doesn’t talk about the fraudulent election.
As Tucker himself put it, “You’re not supposed to notice.”
Well said
Another great video from Tucker. And remember this….this is all being done ON PURPOSE.
Venezuela here we come! FJB!!!
To be fair, I automatically lowered my expectations as soon as Biden was installed as our ruler because I had no confidence whatsoever in his ability to handle the job or to even care about the suffering of American citizens.
Sometimes it’s hard to delineate between accepting reality and perceiving one’s expectations are being lowered in that acceptance. The Communists are who they are. That’s reality. Their actions have proven up a pattern over time. Expecting more of same, to me, isn’t lowering expectations, rather accepting the enemy for who and what they are. Such forms the basis of a cogent plan of action. For some that plan of action is survival. For others it’s adapt and overcome. For others it’s adverse action. It all happens in the real.
Watching Tucker’s video, I wondered if he really does his shows from his home studio in Maine. If so, what a gig. Be photogenic, articulate and a clever orator and make millions. Me, I just built widgets in a shop. What a life.
Point: You and Tucker sound to be Happy with your choices… good!
Biden/Harris: Embrace the suck! ?
This is the same as Obama’s PR…….let’s all eat some cake.
All of these dire warnings of shortages ignore the fact that the ships anchored offshore hold a lot of the non-food items that we’ll be short of in the near term.The game here is for the government to ‘step in’ and start things moving again.Biden will be given the credit,especially if toys from China get into the stores before Christmas.This is just another manipulated crisis.Yes,government regulations caused a lot of it anyway,so a government ‘solution’ involving temporary relaxation of the regulatory noose would help,and will likely happen.The press will celebrate our ‘saviour’,the empty headed,naked emperor,and they’ll smugly believe that a mid-term election disaster has been averted.Let’s hope they’re wrong on that last point.
I gather from your comment today, that you did not read (or did not absorb) Sundance’s article regarding the approx. 50% reduction in “Haulers” being admitted to the docks BECAUSE of California’s new pollution controls on Trucks.
I lowered my expectations on January 6th.
Whenever I see Mike Pence talking about election integrity is think “you had ONE JOB to insure election integrity, and you blew it. The chance to go down in history as a man of courage and conviction passed you by.”
That would require getting off the bench and into the arena.
One has to ask is why we allow it?
Welcome to Joe’s vision of the USA, Venezuela. We probably have less than a year as the United States as we have known it. This isn’t a series of mistakes by this regime , it’s the plan for a Socialist takeover. If they fail our beautiful country will still be set back at least for a generation. If they win we go to the dustbin of history. 86/46 because he isn’t President.
Barack Hussein 101 all over again. It is blatantly obvious this another Barack Hussein, presidency all over again. The only real surprise will be how they discard the White House occupant.
Reminds me of the malaise speech from Jimmy Carter. We know how well that worked out for him.
P.S. I remember the total budget at that time was about 680 billion plus or minus.
It’s the WHOLE MARXIST CRIMINAL democrap party, not just the IMPOSTER. We’ve let the inmates run the asylum as they try to conquer America!
Now do you understand the true cost of election fraud?
Enough to actually do something about it?
This is why I rag on academics so much. I am not against education.
I am against people who implement academic theories as if they are solutions that work. The scientific method has been run through the shredder. Manmadeclimateglobalwarming horseshit showed us that in full glory.
In the past, theories had to show they were somewhat effective before they were inflicted on the general public.
Now, we just have educated idiots, acting like zoo monkey’s, swinging from their thrones, and throwing crap at the walls hoping it sticks.
They not only despise us, they insult our intelligence every single day.
I remember Obama implying that we should lower our expectations. He told us America wasn’t exceptional.
Let me add that President Trump proved him wrong, wrong, wrong!!
Now Obama has a uphill climb to convince us to hate America as he does – especially having to use fraudulent, unlikeable Biden in his stead. He had an easier sell when he was that cool, hip guy in the White House.
How many hundreds of people you see every day, are STILL wearing MASKS? Hill is pretty small, imo.
Is there anyone who doesn’t now understand that we are now in the middle of a Communist revolution? By this time next year, they plan to be in total control of our country. From what I can see, nothing and nobody will even try to stop this. I have been trying to tell people about Barry Soetoro and his rich boy gang being just a bunch of Communists for nearly 15 years and here we are! I am not the brightest person in any room, so just about anyone could have seen this coming. I am too old to physically fight against anything, much less the US Military, but it looks like nobody cares about stopping any of this shit. When people get sent to the re-education/death camps, I assure you that they will care. FUBAR.

“Let’s go Brandon” … is Jimmy Carter … without the charming southern accent
Carter didn’t have dementia. He also didn’t have communist handlers.
Far more evil
Loved this!
Yeah, “lowered expectations” immediately brought that to mind. Apparently the same for “Al Gorbachev” and his YouTube parody channel where he’s also making some fairly decent “deep fake” videos by substituting, for instance, Xi and Xiden’s faces from videos (not stills) on Broke Back Mountain’s characters.
