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

We need to get to know this WEF demon “Dr” Yuval Noah Harari and speaking about the end of “homo-sapiens” Human Beings. He is Klaus Schwab’s #1. His ideas on transhumanism and the ability to hack people and excitement about vaccines are very interesting. .

Oh a side note Barry-O thought he was brilliant.
I haven’t had time to look this over yet, however the 2022 WEF Global Risks Report is up. Link: Global Risks Report 2022 | World Economic Forum (weforum.org)
I believe they will play God as long as God allows.
Flash: Russia Won
News: Zelinskyy no longer insists on joining NATO.
The actual news: Russia won.
Now the terms of surrender are under discussion.
I’ll make a prediction: They’ll be exactly the same terms Russia offered before, with another few additions, and Ukraine will take them.

They are bleeding citizens…2 million, per UN yesterday, have left to go to Poland and where ever else. The population of Ukraine is about 41.5 million. That is 4.8% of the population, roughly.
Casualties from the war are roughly 475 civilians, including children.
Something has got to “give” and soon or they won’t have a country.
Truth…
Eh, no. Not. Even. Close.
I was born in the land of the free….fought in war for this nation case like my family before me i loved this nation .

Ukraine Ready For “Diplomatic Solution” But Won’t Trade “Single Inch” Of Territories: Zelensky AideBY TYLER DURDEN WEDNESDAY, MAR 09, 2022 – 05:30 AM
“(Update 9:10am ET): In what may be a repeat of yesterday’s “buy the Ukraine ceasefire speculation, sell the lack of follow through”, moments ago futures spiked to session highs when Ukraine president Zelensky’s deputy chief of staff Ihor Zhovkva echoed what the president told ABC in the Monday night interview, saying that Ukraine is ready for a diplomatic solution and will discuss neutrality, but need a security guarantee…
” So on net, looks like another non-starter, but at least some negotiating back and forth, now that Ukraine’s core demand for membership in NATO appears to no longer be on the table.
“Crude is getting clobbered as geopolitical risk premia are discounted…
“And safe havens are being dumped with gold briefly back below $2000…”
I’m sure the talkynewsheads will be all over this to pump the market, but a comment by a Zelensky aide ain’t going to fix the stinky economy caused by Biden’s economic policy
“ain’t going to fix the Stinky economy”
If Zelensky was ever a real reformer, he has clearly been bought off by the Obama/Soros Cartel to put their needs ahead of Ukrainians’.
Bull roar. Zelenskyy is a patriot and will not give up without some form of quid pro quo, and rightly so. Putin went too far, and this is coming from someone who agreed with Trump that we should attempt to partner with Russia in many areas.
The Phase 2 Russian assault has not started yet. There will be no diplomatic solution in the near term. Russia will make another push in the next few days. Their goal IMO is to cut the country in half, seize territory, level that territory along with anyone in it. Then for Ukraine neutrality, Crimea and the 2 Russian republics recognized as Russia, they will give back the Ukraine land they took. That seems to be the play. Everyone that is running around saying they want to take back all the old Soviet Republics are 100% morons.
Agree with your last statement, Putin has no designs on resurecting the USSR.
He has clearly stated his terms, they are reasonable, he’s accomplished his goals and now its just a process of maintiaining his position, keeping the pressure on till he gets the negotiated result he wants.
As to Arnies “he went too far”, not sure what “too far” is, but invading a country is like being pregnant, you either are, or your not; you either go in, or you don’t.
The suggestions just prior to the invasion, that he might just “go in a LITTLE” and JUST take the Dombass region, were unrealistic.
“in for a penny, in for a pound” makes more sense.
Or, as in negotiating, “ask for more than you want, so you have something to bargain with”,…
I am SURE Putin has read “the Art of the Deal”, just as I am confident Biden hasn’t.
Correct Obiden and the Clinton cartel only read Carl Marx and his protegees.
You’ve been reading too many Clancy novels but thanks for your expert opinion, Treaper!
Meh. Putin has every right to do what he did. USA, UN, Zelensky and predecessor broke agreements to not advance NATO and bio labs eastward. Possible broke the Minsk agreements too.
Consaidering he in not Ukranian I have to presume which country he is patriotic of.
Disagree; I remember the Bay of Pigs and, therefore, think what Putin is doing is justified.
So far Z’s pulled in about $500M per year since his election that he’s socked away in Costa Rica, and he also wants his share of the $14B that the US corruptocrats are going to throw his way, so he’s not leaving anytime soon. Willingly anyway.
Maybe Putin doesn’t think he went too far but we’ll be sure to let Putin know you’re opinion, Arnie!
Zelensky is a puppet of Ukrainian oligarch, Kolomoisky–see Gonzalo Lira’s youtube channel for more info. He’s an expat in Ukraine, totally knows what’s going on, who is controlling who, says Kolomoisky, along with thugs in US state dept, Victoria Nuland (married to PNAC/neocon Robert Kagan, one of architects of war on Iraq), Wendy Sherman, and Blinkin, are the people who control Ukraine and Zelensky.
@Amanda,
You of all people on here will want to read this and understand. (Republic National Bank)
“So the bankers wanted to take over Russia for all the hard-money assets — gold, oil, platinum, diamonds, etc. This is why the Clintons were supported by the bankers and the idea was with the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, they would be able to take over Russia for all the wealth. The speculation was that the Clintons allowed the bankers to scheme their take over of Russia, then NATO would move to the border with China and they would surround them. Yet, NATO claims it is defensive but always moves strategically in an offensive manner. Without Russia, there would be no need for NATO. So absorbing Russia would transform its purpose to now confront China. Putin even asked what if Russia joined NATO, and they laughed.”

Too funny!!–I just dropped that link to gsonFit on page 1
And I also dropped him this link:
https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/uncategorized/the-money-plane-republic-national-bank-russia/
I’m still wrapping my head around all of this info. But the one about the money plane says that the Federal Reserve was giving $100 Billion a day to the Russian Mob (which I think is really the Russian/Ukrainian mob)–and the guy who wrote the article also wrote a book about the Russian mob and then ended up dead.
Rothstein,Lansky,Seigel,Lepke,Relish,Schultz etc. “Russian Mob”
Soros helped his campaign win the election
No one is coming to save you Z-man. The US, State and CIA double crossed you. You are the last remaining rat. You are not negociating from a position of strength when you want the grandmothers of your country to fire rifles. Either you make a deal with Vlad on his terms and maybe he spares you. You should come clean about the bio labs, the money laundering, kick backs to all US Representatives as well. Not many choices and sadly they all look bad. Your US bank account and Miami house, put it up for sale and give the money to your people.

VoterGa.org Present Investigation of 2020 Georgia Election – Reveal Massive Fraud and Tampering with Ballots and Voting Machines in Fulton County – 17,724 Votes with No Ballot Images
By Jim Hoft
Published March 9, 2022
In Georgia, the recent passing of SB202 made election ballot images available to the public. On March 7th, VoterGa.org provided a 90-minute overview of their year-long investigation into the Fulton County ballot images. The evidence is astounding, and we list a dozen items below. The presentation slides are also helpful. Note: The Georgia SOS new “Risk Limiting” audit system for elections didn’t pick up a single one of the issues VoterGA found in Fulton County. The “RLA” audit system is heavily pushed by the left. Now you know why.
Garland Favorito from VoterGA.org proclaims: “If this isn’t the smoking gun, I don’t know what is.” (1:21:10) Literally, every vote in Fulton County has some type of manipulation problem. We know the actual (paper) ballots are not going to add up to the election results. I’ve been in the IT computer business for 40 years. These are not technical mistakes. This is electronic insertion. The (ballot) images were electronically tampered with. There can really be no dispute about that”.
What’s most incredible is the end of the presentation. There is a complete breakdown of any enforcement of election law in Georgia. To date, VoterGA has found no District Attorney in any county who is willing to prosecute the irrefutable fraud! Favorito explains: “We should be able to take our evidence, with our own attorney, to a grand jury in any county. But the District Attorney’s are basically facilitating corruption by blocking us from that access. All we have are ballot images. We can’t conduct a real investigation like a county DA, or State AG could, or an Independent Counsel, which would be the best.”
Favorito goes on to explain: “We get blocked…the DA’s don’t want to prosecute any of this election stuff. The District Attorneys only want to operate in their own county. We’ve been trying to convince some of the District Attorneys that when you have a federal election, and that election is rigged, it impacts all of your voters in your own county. We explain the Grand Jury has jurisdiction to go out across counties….they can engage other grand juries.” So far VoterGA has had no luck with local District Attorney’s “not even in rural Red counties” where Trump received 75-80% of the votes.
FULTON COUNTY BALLOT IMAGE INVESTIGATION: (Note: 1 batch equals about 100 ballots)

Here is another laugh to warm the cockles of your heart –
Bill Barr interview with NBC guy –
“BARR: “And I told him that all this stuff was bulls**t and — about election fraud. And, you know, I was wrong to be shoveling it out the way his team was, and he started asking me about different theories, and I had the answers. I was able to tell him, this is wrong because of this.”
HOLT: “You’re trying to set him straight.”
BARR: “Yes. And, you know, he listened. He was obviously getting very angry about this. I said okay, look, I understand you’re upset with me and I’m perfectly happy to tend to my resignation, and then — boom!”
HOLT: “He slaps the desk?”
BARR: “He slapped the desk and he said ‘accepted, accepted.’ And then — boom! He slapped it again. ‘Accepted. Go home, don’t go back to your office, go home. You’re done.’”
I think the visuals are great!
Just two words to remember: POISON PILL.
ALL 2020 Ballots discarded and Invalidated impact ALL outcomes based on those ballots, not just the Presidential Elections. It would be so easy to expand the election fraud investigation to ALL 50 states, ALL US Counties or Precincts and include 2018 mid-terms as the same irregularities can be found on those ballots as well. That means the entire government structure, National to Municipal as well as any Bond and Law issues decided are ILLEGITIMATE. This involves both political parties and Independents.
By the way, that also involves invalidating ALL appointments and laws approved by the Congress 2018 to DATE, which include Justices Kavenaugh and Barrett as well as any McConnell Federal Judges.
“By the way, that also involves invalidating ALL ”
Well, that would be a good start ……….
Also, why 22 months for voting records retention. They piss away tax money on everything magical, so they can certainly invest in decent computers servers and retain those records forever. They should never be deleted. Just a thought.
When they stand before The Great White Throne at God’s Judgement Day, I’m sure that God’s great computer will have the records to flash before their lying eyes.
Yup Rev 20:12 “And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.”
They create such a big mess, with such far reaching ramifications, that many who aknowledge the mess, don’t want to clean it up.
If they admit the Clinton Foundation was NEVER a legal charity (it wasn’t) than EVERY Corporation and individual who donated, and listed the donation as a “Charitable contribution” has to refigure their taxes, and pay interests and penalties.
To reiterate a detail on election law; if a case is brought to court, and plaintiff has STANDING (eyeroll) it is NOT up to the plaintiff to prove the ballots in question are fraudulent.
It is up to the OPPOSING party, argueing the ballots are legal and valid, to PROVE that they ARE.
If they can not be proved, in court, to be valid, they are tossed. Hence the regulations regarding chain of custody, etc.
THIS is why it was so important for them to insure no case ever got to trial, by various procedural grounds.
As the evidence from the various investigations shows, if it had ever actually gotten to court, THEY wouldn’t have “had a leg to stand on”.
When the Supreme Court is corrupt “no standing” prevents any Constitutional issues about elections raised by President Trump or his supporters from ever getting a hearing let alone a fair hearing!!!
When the only court established by our Constitution to be “the court of origin” for all disputes between states claims the State Of Texas, and at least 11 other states signed onto the case does not have standing, we’re in a real bad place.
When States and individuals have “no standing” on the same Constitutional issue before the Supreme Corrupt Court then who does??? Are they saying there is no “issue”? How do they know if they don’t hear arguments/evidence?
Yes and the Supreme Court rejected Texas’ law suit because they did not have standing. They could not demonstrate harm because of the way other states managed their elections r something like that. So I guess states can have non citizens vote, 16 year olds to vote, or maybe get votes from people in another country to vote. Even if it’s agains federal law. The Legal ease BS and not following the law is becoming standard practice for the SC.
Has anyone ever done a statistical analysis of the ODDS of so many EXTREMELY close elections?
I think its a possible sign of “just enough fraud to win, but no more.”
I would have thought the following information would have driven a nationwide decertification.
Runbeck, Dominion and CyberDefenses all appear to be owned by a Foreign Power, and associated with ERIC. So should it be a surprise that Biden through the CISA doesn’t want the Bombshell Report on Dominion Voting Machines in Georgia released.

What Are You Hiding, Joe? Biden Admin Begs Court to Bury Bombshell Report on Dominion Voting Machines
By Jack Davis February 15, 2022 at 10:36am
The Biden administration is urging a federal judge not to issue any form of a report about potential flaws in the Dominion Voting Systems’ equipment used in Georgia, even though both sides in a court case over the machines want at least a version of the report to get out.
However, in a filing last week, CISA attorneys urged that the court hold off giving anything to anybody until the agency decides what should be released based on its Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure process.[2]

This tells us all we need to know. They stole the election. They know we know. We know they know we know. They don’t care we know. 40+% of Americans don’t care/believe it was stolen (which is truly the problem with everything at the end of the day). And they will continue to do this election after election, year after year.
It is up to every day Americans to stop this before we turn into Cuba.
In Wayne County. Election officials were on tape breaking the law. Like Georgia, you can’t get a prosecutor to uphold the law.
Congress, DoJ, the SCOTUS, local and state… the steal is comprehensive. Nobody is cracking.
By the way, as I recall, the new Georgia voting laws that were implemented to stop fraud also include a provision that auditors will only have access to ballot images, not the original ballots completed by voters. That provision enables fraud and needs to be eliminated.
As we see the results of the investigations come out, and see SOME attempting to tighten election laws, we see others openly trying to block such efforts using parliamentary procedures, and/or put poison pen loopholes in the legislation by stealth.
MUCH of this crap is being done by REPUBLICONS at the State and County level.
I guess its at least a good thing thats these asshats are finally being exposed,.
I think that even those of us who have recognised for many years that Congress and RNC were controlled by RINOS, may not have fully grasped how the control reaches all the way down to the district level.
Exposure is a good first step, IF we can follow up on it, I suppose.
Isn’t it interesting that our politicians say there was no fraud in 2020, however, are
implementing supposed election fraud mandates?
You conspiracy theorist you! Facts mean crap in the make believe land of unicorns and fairy dust.
Statements without proof are conspiracy theorist. Note: all the references in my work. I see none in yours. People here care about America.
“Let’s go Brandon!”
GA Gov. Kemp Awarded $107 Million Contract to Dominion Two Weeks After Meeting With People’s Republic of China Consul General › American Greatness (amgreatness.com)
Governor Brian Kemp awarded a $107 million contract to Dominion Voting Systems two weeks after he met with the Houston-based Consul General of the People’s Republic of China in Atlanta.
Heavy reported that an executive board member of Staple Street Capital, William Earl Kennard, is a former ambassador to the EU who was appointed to that position by former President Barack Obama.
Also concerning to many, is Dominion’s use of components made in China.
During congressional testimony in January, John Poulos, the President and CEO of Dominion, admitted that parts for their voting machines are manufactured in China.
“We do have components in our products that come from China.”
Kowtow Kemp, literally selling out Georgia’s heritage
I wonder if his fake poll numbers are also tabulated in Shenzhen.
What’s a guy to do? Never vote for Kemp ever that’s a no Brainer. But how can you ever vote for Perdue?
All roads from China to America run through the traitor/criminal Clintons.
The media will probably not touch this story. Instead they will downplay the story and discredit the audit as a “Nothing Burger” it’s time to move on and, BTW, wear a mask!
On election night, they stopped counting in, most, if not all, the swing states.
The stoppage is against the election laws of those states, either detailed in explicit terms or implicit within the legal structure.
Everyone watching the election returns that night witnessed this.
That is the reason everyone with a conscience, or a brain, BEGAN distrusting the election results.
Everything else stemmed from that point.
The simple laws of voting stoppages should have been and still should be the beginning point for the discussion of the fraud. It is easily understandable, digestible and incontrovertible.
Even some of the brain-addled leftists would have to recognize this.
No they wouldn’t. But I agree with everything else you said. That IS the starting point.
We have all known it was a steal of massive proportions, facillitated by Republicons in KEY positions.
Its good that we have the PROOF, even if we will NOT be able to “overturn” the election…
Stolen elections have consequences,…
False narratives have consequences,…
WILL the enemy ultimately pay a heavy price, for willfully shredding its credibility?
Only Time will tell,…
Time is running out I have my doubts the “enemy” will “pay a heavy price”!!! The only ones paying a “heavy price” are the middle class, those of us in flyover country! I would add the Ukrainian people are paying a very heavy price as a result of our fraudulent election but I doubt they realize that!
“We have all known……”
Just a minute now, Barr said there was NO election steal/fraud, I guess you didn’t hear him… hmmmm LOLOLOL
According to Barr, Republicans elected JoeBama; Republican voters voted Republican on all down ticket races and voted JoeBama for president. Seriously, that’s how Barr claims JoeBama “won”; Republicans elected him. LOL!
“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another”
They’re not going to let you. They have the police and military on their side, at this point.
We have to find something more forceful than voting, pitchforks and torches?
How Many Guns in America?There are estimated to be over 400 million guns in the United States between police, the military, and American civilians. Over 393 Million (Over 98%) of those guns are in civilian hands, the equivalent of 120 firearms per 100 citizens. The average gun owning American has 5 firearms, while nearly 22% of gun owners only have a single firearm.
The Police and Military can be used to intimidate, so long as the people “fall for” the illusion.
No government has enough police and military, if the people unite in opposition.
We just ain’t there,..YET.
But we get closer, every day.
Unacceptable
Quick question; Which group do you think has a larger membership?
A) Currently active law enforcement and military personnel.
B) Currently retired law enforcement and military personnel.
People are sometimes funny about the oaths they’ve taken.
Let’s hope they remember their oaths more than our current Supreme Court Justices!
It will be from the Joebama collapse more than anything.
Never happen! The people of Texas just REELECTED the worst absolute traitor to Texas and America! 2 really good alternative candidates and the fools stay with Abbott? Texas has no chance.
Lol
I don’t want to hear it from Biden voters. REAP WHAT YOU SOW. I hope it gets worse because it takes a lot of pain before you admit you made a huge mistake.
I feel exactly like you do.
If only we could limit the harm caused by Biden’s policies to Biden voters……
Agreed, however we were warned to prepare by Sundance and others on what a Biden admin would do. So hopefully many of us here were ready for what was assuredly coming.
Who else does their “work” in the middle of the night because of shame, cowardice, and turpitude?
Oh, yes!
CRIMINALS!
Prostitutes
We woke up to 2700 pages and we vote today.
THEN YOU VOTE NO!
Exactly. They moan and groan and then do nothing to change the scenario. This is a sickening bill–AGAIN coming out of the House. In the dark of night.
STOP VOTING any thing but NO, REPUBLICANS. Figure out how to block this until the bill is vetted and changed. Yes, the Senate can squash this, but it should be squashed in the HOUSE too, and yes I know the Dems have the majority.
Take the money for Ukraine out of this bill where it has no business being put.
The senate will not block. They only block Republican stuff
Its NOT that “the Dems have the majority”; its that the UNIPARTY has the majority.
Its Maga vs Uniparty, WE have 7 House members, and -0- in the Senate.
THATS the reality, and thats the #’s we MUST change, in order to get Political representation in Congress.
Saying “Republicans should vote No” is living in a fantasy World, and ignoring reality.
“UNIPARTY has the majority.”
No , Dems have the majority.
Republicans have many problems ,
But,
the DEMs will never have a TRUMP.
The UniParty repugnicans have the majority of the R votes. I believe that’s what Dutchman meant.
Jan 20, 2021 — Kamala Harris will break any ties amid a 50-50 split. …
Democrats are now officially in charge of the Senate,
capping the best day for the party …
Exactly. People Like MTG are broadcasting the problem. She talked in detail about this in one of her appearances on Tim Pool’s show.
“We have to pass the bill to see what’s in.”
“What difference, at this point, does it make?”
Shut up and OBEY
Simple.
You are yelling at the messenger. MTG is alerting you to the criminal activity. I think it’s safe to say she WILL vote no. It’s the UniParty repugnicans that are the problem not MTG.
This started with the patriot act, and it needs to stop.
This is pure insanity.

Bidenomics: Gas Prices Hit New All-Time High at $4.29 a Gallon, Up 11¢ a Gallon in 24 Hours
By Jim Hoft
Published March 9, 2022
Yes. Over thanksgiving everyone (libs and others) were complaining of gas prices and utility prices- comparing it to the Carter days. Now we are getting closer to the 1930’s days. I’m prepared- but I have a lot off dear friends and family who are not- they voted Biden.
12v car batteries have gone up $70, yep $70 for a battery!
Just replaced my battery. Set me back $210. For a plastic box of lead plates filled with acid.
They were $130 or so 5 years ago.
Tires for my F150 are $500 each now almost double!
Just received a set of replacement tires for my truck. $1,100 for the set from Tire Rack.delivered to your front door. No shipping. Michelin Defenders.
You can still get good buys. You just need to hustle up and figure out what you need.
No one can afford to retire in Biden’s economy 🙂
No one can afford to go to work.
We are heading to the Trump-Rhodesia prices to Mugabe-Zimbabwe “Democracy” prices.
“The path of Democracy is the road to oblivion” Just look to Rhodesia, SA, for great examples
Just replaced all ours this past October. $150 each for TOTL NAPA AGMs made by East Penn (Deka). Glad we did.
Keep the ones that sit in the garage on a tender, and they last ten years.
Hopefully in ten more years, we’ve fought through this nightmare regime.
We just got our oil changed and all four brake pads replaced. $3300. Thank God we got a good amount of tax return and the bills aren’t due for another couple weeks.
Dang, that’s more than I paid a few years ago for the diesel pickup I hauled my cars from California to Oregon with. When I pulled the rear drums off to do a brake job on it, I figured I’d get new drums because they were over 30 years old at that point but measured them and found they were original spec, about .010 over, so put them in the lathe, took off .030 to clean and back on the truck they went.
Never thought being a generalist and having a country machine shop would ever have much value; customers certainly didn’t seem to value it much. In these times though, seems like it helps with self-sufficiency.
I look around at the tons of steel and aluminum and plastic stock from decades of being ‘that guy’ and smile a bit. I may be cash poor but I’m OK with that. God will provide.
Hopefully the shop did a good job and the brakes will last the life of the vehicle. Saw your name and thought of my uncle, he was a logger in WA state. Viewed many pictures of him topping king trees for the cable runs. Quite the skill.
I greatly admire the men who can fix their own cars. I’m a rather flimsy female who can wrestle a toddler one-handed, but I am lost and clueless when it comes to cars. I was horrified at the estimates, but unfortunately I can’t say I was surprised.
Stunning!!!
We will probably need a new water heater soon. When we got the last one around 8-9 years ago, the cost of it was $700. Quote today was $2,700! That’s not a typo.
It’s unsustainable. And, even if the prices get somehow “improved “ in the future, you can’t get back the money spent on the outrageous prices now.
Yes, you will pay $2,000 at least for a large (tall) gas water heater plus installation if you can find one!!!
Just paid $4/lb. for DOG FOOD.
Orijens? I mentioned to my husband that our dog can get more table scraps and actual cheaper cuts of meat (if there still are any) like another Treeper was outlining I think yesterday.

“…….. and for other purposes .”
🤔 so until now it was legal??
😅 Brandon didn’t sign it yet…
A minor detail. Come on man, just becuase murder and assault have been on the books since 1787 doesn’t mean its illegal to use a garage rope or threaten to use one. //s
That’s right, the FBI can now go back in time to find out who was the eveil person who tied that knot.
I guess so! Pretty good theater. No?
What else was in the bill? My guess is, the only reason it took so long is because they needed it to slip in something that they find useful toward ruining America. They knew this bill was a slam dunk to pass, so they wanted to hold it like an ace in the sleeve for just the right time when they could slip in something nasty with it.
Maybe I’m being cynical, but can someone please tell us what else was in the bill?
From the same swine that just stole the votes of millions of black Trump Voters.
Smollett Law
Smollett-Wallace, co sponsored…
Rope violence
just like “gun violence”. When will we STOP ropes from killing people?
We’re on the cusp of nuclear war and all Congress can do is pass an anti-lynching law? When was the last lynching? This is a level of stupidity and incompetence that is indescribable. As Sundance often reminds, two wings of the same bird.
Well what did hrc say?
Do they think this new law will have any effect?
Is the wall around the capital making any sense to you now?
They are probably worried about the criminal mercenary army they brought into the USA. That would be my guess. Lawlessness breeds lawlessness and there is no trust among criminals. All it would take is one wrong step against the Drug Cartel Overlords for their whole sh*t scheme to turn ugly. Why else are Mexico’s and our other friends south of the border’s leaders scared to death and obey orders without fail.
This is thugmala’s signature legislation.
They’re probably trying to upstage the jussee schmollette sentencing scheduled for tomorrow.
It’s an amendment to an existing bill, and given a fancy name. Amends this:
18 U.S. Code § 249 – Hate crime acts
This Act may be cited as the Emmett Till Antilynching Act.
Lynching; other conspiracies
Section 249(a) of title 18, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following:
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/117/hr55/text
OMG I feel so much better now! I was so afraid that I might be lynched and the perp wouldn’t get charged with a “Federal hate crime”!! Who thinks this would stop someone? Seriously? I was going to lynch that person but not now because I would get charged with a Federal hate crime in addition to murder!! Virtue signaling is the only thing that easily passes in Congress!
I urge every Treeper over the age of 50 to read this magnificent article by Don Feder.
This absolutely NAILED IT for me. Best description of my current life.
“Those of us who were part of the Baby Boom generation, now in our 60s and 70s, no longer recognize the nation in which we grew up. We are strangers in a land that gets stranger by the day.
We believed in the American dream. We worked hard, paid our taxes and obeyed the law —even laws we thought were idiotic.
We married and had children. Today’s young adults cohabit and have pets.
We struggled to raise families. Some of us went to war, like our fathers and grandfathers before us. We thought that when we grew old, there would be more for us – more than alienation.
Most of us don’t recognize Biden’s America. Patriotism has become passe. Our military is led by men who are social workers and politically correct hacks.
They can’t fight, but they’re great at getting soldiers to use preferred pronouns and combating imaginary racism in the ranks.
We look in vain for a Ronald Reagan, a Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt. Instead, we find corrupt clowns like wizened Nancy Pelosi, Commissar Ocasio-Cortez (the Cuban pinup girl selling socialist snake oil) and our president – a cranky septuagenarian slipping noisily into senility.

There is is a young great awakening many boomers do not see readily , but it is there.
They are tech savvy , engaged , informed , and they are expert Meme Warriors on the digital battlefield.
Many of the funny , skewering cartoons you see , like on ( @GrandOldMemes ) are their work.
The deplorable cartoon green frog character that so annoyed the left was their work.
They have a motto – ” Conservativism is the new counter-culture ” 🙂
It shocks me sometimes how well informed young people are these days. I’m, talking about teeneagers who really have no interest in what is going on in the real world.
I suppose they learn everything from memes. The problem is that there really is no connection to reality – it’s just a meme, what does it have to do with my life?
Look up this meme – it is powerful , and shows just how aware they are……
” Young men are interested in only one thing , and it’s disgusting ” – ( most probably a MSM feminist / liberal quote.
The picture shows ” Pepe ” the green frog ( their mascot ) holding in his arms a picture of a 1950′-60’s traditional FAMILY , Father , Mother , Children , suburban house and car.
Pepe has tears in his eyes because he knows things have CHANGED so much , it seem unobtainable.
The problem is the left trying so very hard to get rid of Christian values.
Look at the 10 Commandments:
You shall not steal – BLM and looting
You shall not murder – Abortion, Murder up in ALL major cities
You shall not commit adultery – People living together, not honoring marriage and families
Honor your Father and Mother – Children are being brain washed by their teachers
Destroying Christians and Christianity is their #1 goal. They are Lucifer’s/Baal disciples
Well, I agree with you.
Even If I say most of the young people have information detached from reality – and not denying that some don’t – I think that information will become reality once they have spent more time living.
slacker
/s/
I’m over fifty and as a true member of the latchkey generation, all I have to say is “thanks for nothing.”
So you had it all it sounds like. You enjoyed it too, didn’t you? And then you passed down your blessings to your children, right?
You can take Nancy and Joe with you when you exit.
Feel better? Did you read the article? The vast majority of us were doing what we were supposed to do. I was working in the blazing heat or freezing my ass off fixing the heating and cooling and refrigeration that made your life comfortable. Oh and paid a lot of taxes that were stolen from me. My first home came with a 12% mortgage. Get ready as you are going to experience that too. I was lucky as I wasn’t sent off to war(s) like so many of my generation many of whom didn’t come back. Wait until you experience gas rationing..
Go look at old history books. This is how it’s always been. The vast majority just want to live and be left alone but the tiny highly minority of motivated psychopaths always end up crapping in the punch bowl of life….
Fighting over “generations” is as foolish as belief in astrology. Somebody isn’t like another person because of their age cohort any more than everybody born on April 20 is literally Hitler.
Nancy and Joe aren’t Baby Boomers.
Generations aren’t even a definitite thing. I know people born during the postwar boom who have aunts and uncles older than they are.
What this insistence on naming the generations is, though, is a good way to divide our nation, just as they have us all fighting about race.
They know it works.
The idea that one group born during a particular period in history had everything and then kept it from everybody who came after is as absurd as social distancing and wearing a mask.
“What this insistence on naming the generations is, though, is a good way to divide our nation, just as they have us all fighting about race.
They know it works.”
Please do not ever again come at us with an argument that compares our feeling and beliefs to something which is commonly equated to pseudoscience.
I, for one, have had enough of my opions denounced upon grounds that have nothing to do with the opinion itself.
I have had enough of people’s superstitions or fantasies passed off as valid.
Judging people by their date of birth is astrology.
Here is a test that I have deployed many, many times. The answer is always the same, and the uniformity of the response is revealing. It’s a simple test: ask anyone you know their favorite piece of popular music, the artist who recorded it, and the year in which it came out.
Follow up by asking them to name a popular artist and tune from the preceding decade, and then the one before that. It won’t take you long to get to a blank stare.
It is one of the bedrock features of human psychology: on some level, we all believe that our historical experience is unique, and as a correlate, that nothing which transpired before our lifetime is meaningful. This is why each generation writes its own history. The exercise is not about discovering the past. It is about discovering ourselves.
I was under the impression that baby boomers were born during the WWI and WWII years. It seems to me they keep adding to it until now the 50-year-olds are included. I was told that I was the last of the years of the baby boomers but apparently not. I think they keep adding to it for AARP a socialist union for old people that puts money into the keep abortion laws.
The “boom” was a phenomenon, not really a generation. There were fewer babies born during the time period when all the young men went off to war. They came home, basically all at once, and started families. That caused a large increase of kids starting at a particular point in time.
That was the boom. The idea that so many individuals are all alike in any substantive way is just plain silly.
I remember vividly, the older brother of one of our friends, went off to a place called “Viet Nam”, and came home shortly after, in a bag.
He somehow ruined things for subsequent generations?
I’m also thinking about that WWII generation, the men responsible for the boom. The draft grabbed men up to age 46. Some men at that age had sons old enough to go to war.
Generations are a nebulous thing.
generations by birth year:
greatest – 1901 to 1927
silent – 1928 to 1945
baby boom – 1946 to 1964
I’m a first year Boomer (1946).
Are you serious?
“I was working in the blazing heat or freezing my ass off… that made your life comfortable”
Thank you so much. I wish I knew it was you personally who made my life great. I would have showered you with great praise.
Do not believe it for a minute. This is the narrative we are being shown every day in movies and on TV. It is all a lie.
All across America are young married couples working hard, raising kids to believe in God and treat each other with respect and honor. Do not believe the lies about a “post-Christian” world or a “woke” America. WE are all still here. 100 million of us voted for Trump. We would do it again tomorrow. We WILL do it again in 2024. We watch as the degenerate Marxist construct collapses, and we wait. So long as we keep God and Christ foremost in our hearts, we will prevail.
Faith. Soon.
There are more of us than there are of them.
If the author hadn’t noticed … it’s our Boomer generation who have “torn it all down ma’aaaan”. It’s our own damn fault. Well … the bottom half of our generation. The scum sucking self-hating bottom half
Never mind Reagan, Lincoln, or Roosevelt. What you should be looking for, and working for every hour of the day and night is to ensure the return of none other than:
The 45th and Greatest President, Donald J. Trump!!!!!!!!!!!
AMEN!
Seneca. The trucker convoy for freedom has been a rallying cry for Canadians. In our group we had an organization that sent 11 trucks to Ottawa. Family owned company. Young father owned the company. He was quite willing to hold the line and lose everything for the sake of his children.
Our church is almost exclusively unvaxed. Massive growth in our church. Almost exclusively, our church is extremely young families with very young children.
When I attended the Ottawa rally there were nearly two million there. Massive crowds. Enormous amounts of young families with young children.
The church we left a year ago was 100% boomer age except for my wife and I and our children. All of them were mask nazis and vax nazis. Seriously. I see a very startling reality here in Canada. The boomer age demographic is by far the most heavily masked nd vaxed!
If there is hope for Canada, it most certainly will not come from the boomers. My dad, who is one, will agree. It will come from young moms and dads who only want the best for their kids.
Not all is lost good sir. Not in the least. We have some extremely dedicated freedom fighters on our side. A very young woman got a huge shout out on Sunday from our pastor.
Goose bumps on her head from getting a clubbing by Ottawa police. Arrested twice and charged. She is now fighting this legal battle. But she is one of many who are carrying the torch.
Stay strong.
DD
DD- thanks for your many great posts. They are always edifying and inspiring.
I am surprised that there were a bunch of negative reactions to the article. It gives me something to think about, that’s for sure!
The Millennials were tossed into the government propaganda machines known as public schools and universities by their parents the Boomers, who were so busy in the workforce they couldn’t bother with their children. As a result, my generation suffers from abandonment issues, anxiety, and distrust of their elders. You ever see the videos of the observations of the babies who are well-loved versus those who are neglected? Yeah. The difference is stark.
I have three children and I’m a stay-at-home-mom. I’m not even thirty yet. I have heard since before the birth of my eldest that I needed to “find a babysitter, leave him with my [neglectful] in-laws, go get a REAL job.” I’ve heard it from my inlaws, my husband, random strangers on the street, and even CTH. The mindset of “abandon your children and go work for someone else” continues. It is, alas, one of the few cultural inheritances my generation has kept.
I refuse. I will not, when I reach fifty or so, be one of those middle-aged parents complaining about their adult children, wondering why their offspring will not speak to them. I will not abandon my children to someone else to brainwash and neglect and abuse.
An unpopular viewpoint here, I am well aware, but I grow very weary of seeing my generation blamed for being what our parents made us.
Excellent. God bless!!!
DD
Well done. Please never give up on that plan.
Right on! You hold the line young lady, it will pay dividends as your kids become adults.
My prayer is that there are many more like you.
Your faith in family is screaming ” I will hold the line “. A true Patriot you are young lady!!
To a mother who never had the choice, but would have given anything to be at home for her child, your words sound cruel and lack any semblance of empathy or individual insight.
After an unexpected tragedy occurs outside your control and leaves you having to collect the pieces and fend for yourself and your children, without help and against whatever odds are against you, the last thing you need is to be judged by someone who doesn’t know or care what you’re dealing with.
Labeling and judging people serves only to divide and antagonize.
Life is not always fair.
Thank you for that. Until we have walked a mile in another ‘s shoes we shouldn’t judge anyone.
Amen.
Jesus meant it when He said “Love one another.”
Ma McGriz,
So sorry for what you endured. One of my children is a victim of domestic abuse, and she works two jobs to support herself and her daughter. We help her out alot, but she lives in another state, so there are some times we just aren’t there. And, the damage to my little granddaughter who lost her natural right to an intact family will never be fixed in this world.
You are so right that life in this world is not always fair; I have hope and faith it will be fair in the next. I will keep you and your loved ones in my prayers.
Thank you for your kind words and especially for your prayers.
I’m one of the most blessed people in the world, having survived and thrived against all odds, and I can tell you what you’re doing for those girls is more precious than gold. Just knowing you’re there and showing you care can change someone’s world for the better forever.
Thank you for your kind words. Coming from someone like yourself who has been in the trenches that way means a great deal to me. Your unexpected response actually brings tears to my eyes. I am always grieving that I can’t do more for them. Your words are a great comfort.
And, your attitude inspires me and gives me hope. Thank you.
There is no love and support more powerful in the life of a child than the love of a Grandmother, and there are literally no limits on ways of showing it. It can make the difference between a child who grows up strong and one who grows up as a self-perceived victim.
The smallest gestures can sometimes mean the world and leave the most lasting imprint on a young one’s life.
And the power of a loving smile can help shape and heal a young character in some precious ways.
Thank you. I’m definitely trying. You give me hope.
Grand Parents (and Great) are the best. I happened to have the greatest one ever.
Your post reminds me of Dr. Ben Carson. His story of his mother’s struggles to raise him and his brother is so inspiring. Like you, his mother lived to experience the blessings of all she did for her children.
I am, to all intents and purposes, a single mother. I work from home, and after July, I may not have that home, that roof over my children’s heads. I’ve been homeless. I am well acquainted with sudden tragedies.
I do realize that some people don’t have the choice. I’ve had to face that more than once, myself. But many, many, many people do have that choice.
It’s hard to imagine choosing anything but being home for the family, but you’re right, many do make that choice voluntarily.
I wish you the very best and am praying your circumstances hold steady.
This generational blame gaming has to stop. Those who share similar view points of love of our Constitutional Republic, no matter what age, have to stick together.
I applaud you for staying home with your children, TreeClimber. I did the same thing, even though I was accepted after graduating summa cum laude from college to all the law schools ( two public and two private) in
my state. I chose not to go, married, and ended up homeschooling my children through high school, after which all three graduated from college in four years or less at least at the cum laude or above level. This includes the one precious child who had diagnosed learning disabilities whom
I dedicated many extra hours into teaching. I poured my love, time and energy and my husband and I sacrificed higher incomes and (some substantial) opportunities to provide a loving home with a stay-at-home mom. I can count on one hand the number of times my children had babysitters. We did not get to live close to extended family, and didn’t really have the inclination or money to go out alot. I have babysat my grandchildren many times more than my children were babysat.
However, it turns out there is not a recipe for raising children— do this, add that and voila! the children will turn out and make decisions the way you hoped and dreamed. I have pretty good relationships with all my children, but some of their choices were definitely not what I anticipated. I have to live with that and accept responsibility before the Lord for my part.
So, I was you, once, although I always loved my elders and learning from them.
I despise being classified as a baby boomer ( end of the timeline). I have nothing in common with the Clinton et al types; I don’t like the music or fashion from those eras. I fought abortion since it was legalized when I was a young teen, even when adults who should have fought and known better were confused and missing in action. In the 80s my husband and I put white ribbons on our cars and boycotted Circle K stores that were selling pornography. We refused to support TV shows that were pushing the homosexual agenda and boycotted their advertisers( what a quixotic effort that turned out to be). We cared. For our efforts, we were looked at as slightly out of touch by extended family and church and society in general. And, for what? It appears to be all for naught. The culture is a cesspool. The money we have left after decades of confiscatory tax policies that we sacrificed to save is being eaten up daily in this run away inflation. We already lived through this type of inflation once but are older and have fewer options now because, it is true, your body really doesn’t work as well the second half of life.
Oh
I understand the challenges you face in standing up to the culture to live the traditional values, and I applaud you. Just remember not everyone my age abandoned their children to the daycare and even the school system. We have battle scars to prove it along with the current fresh battle wounds being inflicted on all of us longing for a Christendom today.
The edit button on my phone doesn’t work for this site.
I did want to clarify something: one statement I made seems to imply Treeclimber may not “love [her} elders or learn from them.” That implication is from poor editing. Of course I don’t know Treeclimber and have no way of knowing how she feels about that. I merely meant to say that personally, even as a young child and throughout life, I enjoyed being with people in the generations older than me and listening to them and learning from them.
I was only speaking about myself.
I know not everyone did. Of course there are always some exceptions to every rule. My mother was a stay-at-home mother, in fact. But generally speaking, culturally speaking, what I said stands.
Poppycock! There are millions of children whose parents worked and loved them at the same
time – what a concept!
Tree- you are an amazing human being and your story is remarkable.
In the development where I live in NY (about 100 families, most with kids), I don’t think there are even ten that have stay at home moms or dads. I give you lots of credit for working so hard.
Treeclimber, in my earlier post I left out the most important point I wanted to make in response to yours.
“I have heard since before the birth of my eldest that I needed to “find a babysitter, leave him with my [neglectful] in-laws, go get a REAL job.”
I can’t tell you how much I admire and support your stand and purpose. I can’t thank you enough or encourage you enough in your commitment to be in the home for your childrens’ sake.
It’s not only the best thing you can do by them, it’s also the greatest service to our country, in my view, that families can perform.
But please know there are untold millions of mothers who know what you know and value what you value, but who simply don’t have the choice.
Always remember that you can represent those mothers with your voice and your example, because mothers belong in the home.
When Mom is home after school, kids do better. The community is safer. Moms don’t suffer the chronic agony of separation and guilt.
And when Mom IS school, the whole world wins, wins and wins some more. Homeschoolers rule.
God bless and keep you.
I agree with you with one caveat. I don’t know why you claim staying home with one’s children is “an unpopular viewpoint here”. I have not seen any poster here recommend parents, mothers especially should leave their children and “go work for someone else”. As a matter of fact I have seen the opposite. Most posts I have read on the subject here are usually in the form of “take your children out of gubmint centers and home school them”. If someone said that to you then by all means resist it but please do not paint everyone with the same brush.
Personally, I am very much in favor of staying at home, especially in children’s formative years – it is getting more important than ever when we see what has been happening in schools – private and public. However, I recognize the choice is the parents to make and I honor their choice. Unfortunately, not everyone has the choice of staying at home.
I left out a few words there, I meant to say “here on CTH.” Individuals have suggested I “do what I have to do” and go to find a job outside the home.
I truly grieve for this nation.
When I was a kid I rode my bike everywhere. A law was put in place regulating what side of the road you have to ride your bike on. There was a newscast with a woman on it saying “If it saves one life it’s worth it”. A few weeks later I got a ticket for doing what I had always been doing. It was my first red pill moment and the beginning of my rebellion against state authority.
The masking of children have planted the seed for a generation of red pilled citizens. They will not forget they were made, against their will to wear those mask. There will be a moment when it clicks just who it was that took their freedom and forced their will upon them. Conservatives need to be smart about helping along those kids by subliminally assisting their awakening, not forcing it, not in your face about it, be subtle with the kids, they will figure it out.
In a related story … “skateboarding is not a crime”
We don’t recognize the nation BECAUSE of the Baby Boomers. Born right after a world war and grew up in unprecedented economic growth and its attendant standard of living. Everything was going so smoothly that we indulged sex drugs and rock and roll, flirted with Che and socialism, and embraced pacifism. Then went on to break open the Treasury by borrowing against future generations while dismantling bedrock industries to sell its pieces for short term gains. We exported the middle class wealth creation to foreigners on behalf of Wall Street in exchange for cheaper trinkets. We spent on ourselves for the moment and stopped investing towards the future. We poisoned our children’s minds with the teachings of racists and communists. We rejected religion because it told us we could not indulge in sin, abortion, greed or that a civil society crumbles by normalizing deviancy. We voted in socialist Democrats because we wanted to be seen as “good people” by other “good people”. We turned our military into a social laboratory because we could not abide the concept of rugged men standing ready to kill and die for our freedom. We became soft, easily offended, and emotionally immature.
We had it all handed to us on a silver platter and threw it away — just like any other spoiled child. So, yeah, it’s easy to see why we don’t recognize our country.
Not only did we squander our inheritance … but we vilified the men who amassed that inheritance. Talk about biting the hands that fed us …
Sorry, but not all of us went that route in life. But we were the small minority. Once again, the middle of the country now called fly-over and deplorables were a different breed than our coastal brothers and sisters. We didn’t flock to Woodstock and enjoyed our Country Music.
agree with you, gardy.
watching the radical minority on the news in the 60’s & 70’s does not warrant condemnation of an entire generation.
and for demographic aficionados, it is the leading edge of the boomers that is the home of that contingent,
still not the majority of even that subset.
the second wave of boomers elected President Reagan – twice.
there are radicals still agitating today (bill ayers, et al) and that may make them seem more populace than they are or ever were.
dangerous? yes.
do they represent the entire generation? no.
you have no idea how much i loathe the weather underground/sla/etc. faction.
they were tearing their own families apart as well as the country.
but boomers have more to be proud of than not.
to make them the fall guys for all the country’s ills is naive.
Well, let’s see. We associate progressive education with John Dewey (19th century), and the environmental movement with Teddy Roosevelt (early 20th). Once upon a time, the Industrial Revolution was driven by the same Robber Barons who drive the tech revolution today. It was FDR who put us firmly on the road to socialism in the 1930’s, and it was the Fair Deal of Truman and the Great Society of Johnson that finished up. It was Nixon who took us off the gold standard, and a Kennedy who ushered in the immigration reforms that have ethnically transformed America into something that, as a first year Baby Boomer, I was having a hard time recognizing in the 1970’s.
All of this damage was complete before Boomers got anywhere near the levers of power.
George, there’s an old saying, to wit, that you can never step into the same river twice. Have we Boomers dumped sewage into the American stream? You bet. But the stream was already badly polluted before we came along– and the generations that come after us will each add their own filth to the mix. That’s life.
And as a postscript: Biden, Pelosi, Fauci and a great many others are not Boomers; they are the decaying residue of the Greatest Generation.
Seneca, it may be cold consolation to you, but the generation born in the immediate aftermath of the War Between the States looked at America in the 1920’s, and had the same sense of revulsion that you describe here. Society has been going to Hell in a hand basket for thousands of years.
“Children today are impossible. They gobble their food, contradict their teachers, and argue with their parents.”
The more things change….
Go all the way back to the Epic of Gilgamesh, roughly 4,500 years ago. The original hick from the sticks was a guy named Enkidu.
Oh, and then fast forward to Rome’s first emperor, Augustus. The poet Horace saw the proverbial light, and survived by becoming a mouthpiece for the state. The poet Ovid didn’t see the light, and lived out his final years in exile in a remote place on the Black Sea called Tomi. Not far from the current war zone.
My answer would be did you divorce, send your kids to government school, contracept and abort yourselves to few or no children, send your kids home to an empty house from Kindergarten on, etc?
I don’t think boomers are free of blame in any of this and I’ll throw the silents and greatest generation under the bus as well. Never forget the beatniks and many of the so-called hippies, 60’s feminists, etc. were often silents or so-called greatest generation (and how smug is that?).
Beatniks were pre-hippie hippie degenerates from the epicenter of Cultural marxism in America, Columbia U.
They were a test run for the hippie 60’s cultural marxist revolution here
very, very true,
but not many people know that.
the transition was practically seamless,
and off they went from the coffeehouses to the streets….
It looks like you prefer the oh, so clean cut Dobie Gillis to the dirty, disheveled, long-haired beatnik Maynard G. Krebs. Well, Dobie went on to take an MBA at Harvard, got a job on Wall Street, moved on to the Financial Affairs section of the State Department, where he got rich taking a tiny percentage of the money that he processed in the form of foreign aid to countries far and wide. Dobie married an oh, so clean cut girl with a law degree from Yale, who got a gig with the Department of Justice, which years later hired their daughter and assigned her to SDNY, where she laid the foundations for her own profitable career by prosecuting associates of Epstein, the guy who notoriously didn’t kill himself.
And Maynard G. Krebs? He simply vanished, having done neither good nor ill to his fellow man. It was as if he had never been.
Excuse me, but this is really a load of BS!!
Just read this posted piece slowly….first the hard working baby boomers…..then we grew old and we do not recognize Bidens America? IS Biden not a boomer? And Pelosi? And cortez supposedly the sock puppet of Sorros? McConnell, The entire congress?
All run by boomers. This world has fallen DUE to boomers friend. We REALLY made a mess of things.
Uh, no. Biden, Pelosi, Soros, McConnell, Fauci and a great many others at the pinnacle of power are from the generation preceding, the so-called Greatest Generation.
actually, i believe they are of the so called “silent generation” (1928 – 1945).
the youngest members of the greatest generation would be 95+ now, bless them all. 🙏🏻
Historians are not especially comfortable with the concept of a silent generation because it makes no demographic sense. There was robust population growth in the US from 1919 to 1930, peaking in 1926 with more than 2 million added to the pool. The next time this would happen was 1947. The birth rate collapsed in 1931, and it stayed dormant for the next decade. At bottom, the Great Depression caused a massive delay in family formation on the part of the Greatest Generation. My dad is a typical example. Born in 1911, driven west by the search for employment, working in the 30’s wherever he could find work, then going into the army, not to muster out until 1945, when he married. I came along in ’46, the first and only child. My mom was born in 1913.
points well taken.
and wow, that’s some awesome family history!
my understanding is that the generational nicknames are not necessarily tied to the actual demographics of their birth years, the “boomers” being an exception.
“the greatest generation” denotes their near 100% participation in the war effort.
the “silent generation” maintained a relatively low profile in terms of visibility, going about their business without attracting attention, hence the name.
interestingly sidebar: as i looked into it a little, many researchers are now splitting the boomers into the first and second waves, as i have always maintained.😉
2cd wave boomers are generally conservative – a reaction, no doubt, to the radicalism embraced by the first wave (in many cases, their older siblings).
still, america was built on the precept that you are what you make of yourself (meritocracy).
and in that context, generational labels are less important than the individual within them.
take care.
You Stupid Fools
We were so ******ned arrogant after getting away with what we did in 2004 and then again in 2014 with Maidan, which was wildly provocative in that was an actual shooting revolution yet drew only the Crimea “take-back” that we thought we’d get away with it. Again.
Fine, we do it, the invasion happens, now we have to deal with it.
So we start sanctioning, of course, and immediately the “rah-rah” comes.
After all there is no cost to that rah-rah other than a bit of lost business which you can’t collect the money from anyway without trouble for the duration of this mess because everyone’s locked down the Russian banking interchange systems.
Right?
Wrong.
In response to this last night it was disclosed that Russia’s parliament is discussing changing their laws to nationalize the Russian-domiciled assets of any firm that has implemented same for the duration of this little adventure.
There’s not a ******ned thing we can do about it if they do either.

Were Kentucky school pensions invested in Russia or Ukraine?
Reports that Kentucky’s pension system for teachers is one of the top shareholders in the largest Russian bank are “completely false,” the system’s lawyer said Friday.
At the close of 2021, the Kentucky Teachers Retirement System was listed as the second largest institutional shareholder of Sberbank of Russia, whose stock prices are tanking amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Beau Barnes, TRS’ general counsel, said Friday TRS sold off its direct investments Feb. 23, losing $3.2 million of its initial $15.6 million investment. Russia invaded Ukraine the next day.

Russia bank (sorry, don’t remember the name) and they lost their butts. A 13 million dollar fund down to 738 thousand or some such.
Probably not!
Good for them. I hope all the virtue-signaling multinationals lose a ton of money.

The New Vaccines Don’t Stop COVID But They Do Change Your DNA
Does the Pfizer vaccine “reverse transcribe” a mutant liver cancer gene into your DNA?
Emerald Robinson
Last week in my Substack essay “The COVID Conspiracy Theory Is True” I discussed several new blockbuster developments about the COVID vaccines that the corporate media completely ignored: the vaccines increased the risk of getting COVID in children, the CDC intentionally withheld clinical data from the public, and a Moderna gene sequence patented in 2017 was found in the COVID virus spike protein.
A week later, there’s much more to add to these stories. A judge forced the FDA to release 55,000 pages of clinical data on the vaccines and so the public now can see the 1,291 adverse side effects that the Pfizer vaccines can cause. We now know: the FDA approved the Pfizer vaccine even though 15,000 people had serious disorders of the nervous system after taking it. More than 20,000 people had other serious disorders (categorized with the vague definition: “general disorders”) after getting vaccinated, and reported them — and the FDA approved the vaccine anyway.

When it gets down to it. The only real thing which matters to the American people is the 2020 fraudulent election. Think of what today’s narrative, conversation, dialog would be had there not been voter-fraud.
Ordinary Americans would be on their way to being as wealthy as a Mercedes driving Arab on the sands of the Sahra Desert.
Crooks stealing our national government is bigger than any threat in America’s history.

Pentagon Spins Poland’s MIG 29s
The Democrat’s nuance and narrative spin machine is whirling so fast you’d expect to soon see bits of it flying off in all directions.
For days, Deep State sock puppet Blinken (fake Secretary of State) has said Poland will be sending its MIG 29s to Ukraine. Such aid would be useful, since Ukraine already operates MIG 29s.
Poland several times said, no we aren’t, and Blinken still said they would.
Yesterday, Poland called sock puppet’s bullying bluff. Poland said they would fly the MIG 29s to the U.S. air base at Ramstein Germany and give them to the U.S. to do with them as they wished.
In exchange, Poland wanted older, like function, U.S. aircraft as replacements. These would probably be F 16s the USAF was phasing out, which had been under discussion.
Nope, replied the Democrat sock puppets. Poland should give the MIG 29s directly to Ukraine.
Now, the Pentagon Deep State sock puppets spring into action.
“Pentagon Shoots Down Poland’s MIG 29 Deal for Ukraine.” [Air Force magazine]
That sure makes it sound like the whole MIGs for Ukraine idea originated with Poland. Effing shameless nuance whores.
Deep State sock puppets don’t care, or probably know, that Poland’s 30 MIG 29s are currently active duty aircraft Poland will desperately need if the war spreads beyond Ukraine.
All the Deep State sock puppets care about is their “brilliant” idea to provide offense capable combat aircraft to Ukraine directly from a NATO country that is not the U.S.A.
Apparently, there is no concern that this action alone might cause Russia to expand the conflict. In the mad mad mad world of Democrat nuanced narrative, they may secretly hope that Russia would retaliate directly against Poland, a NATO country, thus expanding the war, and giving Democrats the excuse they need to commit U.S. forces to war.
Such a war would be a wondrous diversion of attention away from the blunders and damages inflicted on us by the crooks who stole our National government.
Surely, that’s worth the risk of nuclear war, to the subversive, perverted woke thieves.
Fortunately, Poland’s leaders are too smart to be tricked into becoming the sacrificial lamb that starts WWIII.
Thank you Poland. Hope you distrust every word our Deep State sock puppets utter.
Funny I do not think that the plan ot start the war will divert attention from his inept administration, I believe it will enhance the scrutiny and vividly show them them for the fools they are.
Last night on tucker he read the statement from Poland offering to deliver their planes to the U. S so WE can start ww3.
Then he read our government’s response explaining how sending planes from a U.S or NATO base would be considered an act of war. Which they said they were unwilling to do.
The whole time Tucker was explaining why America was turning down the planes, the chiron Bellow said “Poland to deliver planes to the U.S.”
Fox news sucks!
Update – Good it will all be
BBC says Fake VP Cackles is going to Poland, apparently to negotiate/fix things. (BBC didn’t say “fake” or “Cackles,” so I fixed that part).
Gotta say WWIII looks like it will be avoided her on the problem.
Hopefully, she won’t sell out the UK instead of Ukraine.
The Democrats with Ukraine “collusion” attempted to interfere in our 2016 elections. PDJT was impeached for a phone call with Ukraine. Rudy Guiliani went as an investigator to Ukraine and was hounded by the DFdemocrats and their Cheka aka F-B-I. And now we are back to Ukraine and finding US Bio-labs which a few days ago was “conspiracy theory”. It was never “Russia,Russia,Russia” in reality, but was really “Ukraine,Ukraine,Ukraine”. This is where we need to look closer.

Isn’t it about time that you decertified biden and certified President Trump as the winner of the 2020 election?
What are you waiting for, times to get better?
Well, guess what?
It is in your hands.
GJ Cactus. There is no 2022 or 2024 without decertification of the 2020 election treason.
That is the gospel truth……….
These four people are as crooked as a dog’s hindleg. The issue with our present government is not people knowing it, but people being able and willing to correct it.
Ninety-nine percent of this website’s posts tell us what it is. Unfortunately, nothing is being done about it. The pain has not reached the critical point of what it really takes. In the meantime, it is; “Woe is me”.
Here is some background on an interesting conspiracy theory. In 2009, Dr. Joseph Moshe called into an LA radio show saying tainted H1N1 swine flu vaccines are being produced by Baxter BioPharma Solutions (Austria company) in their Ukrainian lab. Naturally it did not go over well.
He alleged Baxter was in fact producing a bioweapon disguised as a vaccine. He claimed the vaccine contained an adjuvant (additive) designed to weaken the immune system and replicated RNA from the virus responsible for the 1918 Spanish flu, causing global sickness and mass death.

The World is behaving like Hazzard County…
What’s interesting about that is yesterday I listened to an interview with Dr. Judy Mikovitz that was from 5 months ago; she stated that in the early 2000s the DoD (I think) dug up corpses in Alaska of some who died from the Spanish Flu. They cloned the pathogen and made the information available everywhere. Hmmm…
I don’t believe this is true.
We know Biden’s son worked there. From what I have found, in the cases of Kerry and Romney, they were family friends or former staffers (or something like that). Close ties, but not family ties.
Haven’t found anything on Pelosi. maybe someone else has.
The hippie commune down the road is claiming to be selling natural gas for a $1.00/cf. They said they were able to convert their methane reduction equipment to extract gas from unicorn farts. They are taking deposits for delivery of 1000 cf. min. Delivery date is set for Hunter Biden arraignment date. /s

The government pretends that you are not paying as much as you think for their debt, only what you pay in taxes. The FED keeps interest rates low to reduce the amount that the government pays for the debt and pushes the bill to you through higher inflation. This inflation is primarily driven by government borrowing costs and they don’t want you to see the true cost. Oh sure the government can borrow as much as it wants for under 2%. BS.
I wonder,…since the end of WW2, has there ever been a time when governments ‘representing’ at least 1/2 the Worlds population have openly rebuked the U.S. Government?
Quite an accomplishment, Joe.
I’m a lot poorer since ChiCom Joe has occupied the White House and I’m about to get even poorer! Banning Russian oil is virtue signaling of the highest order! Putin will sell those oil bbls to Europe or China and have no effect on Russia oh but we will feel the effect!!!! Republicans slapping like seals in support of ChiCom Joe turns my stomach! Can the Republican Party be reformed? I’m have severe doubts!!!!

Yeah, let that bastard go to Ukraine and take up arms with his former countrymen.
If he gave a crap about Ukraine he never would have left, and he’d certainly be running back now.

Relentless Truth

My one (former) liberal friend argued with me throughout the entire pandemic…about everything.
After the truth finally came out about the origins of Covid and he saw that my predictions for the country were remarkably accurate, he shockingly and reluctantly told me that I was right.
However…he made a point to tell me that I was still crazy to suggest that ALL BSL-4 labs across the world should be shut down immediately. He once dated a girl who worked in one of those labs and I was simply crazy for believing they were used for nefarious activities.
6 months later here we are…
Remember the articles and horror about Russia bringing “crematorium ” vehicles?
Were those crematorium vehicles brought to destroy any pathogens, viruses that were too dangerous?
Appears Russia knew where the labs were —
Worth consideration.
And really blows the Nuland narrative–to teeny weeny bits!
And one of those crematorium vehicles articles was written by Jennifer Griffin- Fox.
Wonder if she will put 2 and 2 together? After her meltdown with Col MacGregor…I don’t like her very much!
Before we move on to the Gasdemic, and forget about the Pandemic in our rearview mirror , just some Connecticut Covid Portal numbers for perspective as of March 8 , 2022 ( these are TWO (2) years of cumulative numbers) – cases and fatalities – under 9 years old – 66,171 cases /2 deaths -age 10-19 -94,736 cases/4 deaths -age 20 -29- 124,297 /cases 27 deaths and so on . BUT get to seniors, age 80 and over only 25,618 cases but 5607 deaths and 70-79- 32, 048 cases and 2,379 deaths. Of total supposed deaths since start listed at 10,591 on 728,733 total cases, 90% of deaths were 60 years and older. No comorbidities listed or tabulated. AND currently 151 listed as Hospitalized Statewide (total population of CT 3.5 million ) . Postscript- over 4,000 plus of the deaths occurred in first 5 months-March -july 2020 when Nursing Homes and adult care places were being wiped out…
Sounds like Z’sky aka the globalists are about to cave. They just wanted Russia to shoot first, but this outcome was inevitable. Hopefully it ends without major action at Kiev, and the Ukie eastern army has to walk home on camera.
They had the nuke plant scare. A nuke plant accident, another Chernobyl, and it would be curtains on their end quest for nuke power. A nuke warhead is acceptable, a nuke power disaster is totally out.
