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…

“Intel has produced some unbelievable graphs in its time: projected Itanium market share, next node power consumption, multicore performance boosts. The graph the company showed at the latest VLSI Symposium, however, was a real shocker.
While computer science course take-up had gone up by over 90 percent in the past 50 years, electrical engineering (EE) had declined by the same amount. The electronics graduate has become rarer than an Intel-based smartphone.
That part of the technology industry which makes actual things has always been divided between hardies and softies, soldering iron versus compiler, oscilloscope versus debugger. But the balance is lost. Something is very wrong at the heart of our technology creation supply chain. Where have all the hardies gone?

The Double E’s are working at Starbucks with the ME folks.
H1-b victims from the false narrative pushed by tech firms that American universities were not keeping up with demand so they had to import from 600k-1M/year which ACTUALLY put newly graduated Americans into other jobs than those they were schooled for and drove wages DOWN for employees already in those jobs
EET graduate working (finally) as a designer.
Between insourcing H1-b visas for engineering generally, outsourcing the industries and the diversity mandates everything is quite a mess. Oh, and the hardware side just does not have the cool factor going for it like on the software side. My $ .02.
I used to be a hardie, doesn’t pay. I have a MSEE with a strong dose of CS, but doesn’t matter. Early in my career, most EEs couldn’t program. Not the case anymore as you can’t survive without coding skills.
How many software engineers does it take to change a lightbulb?
Zero, because it’s a hardware problem.
There’s also the massive lowering of standards to complete a degree in software engineering. Those degrees are becoming too common for there not to have been a massive lowering of degree requirements and/or grading standards.
mine is in hardware engineering but the university I was attending was decrying the 5-6 year graduation rates for STEM degree holders and proposed the elimination of CORE classes from the MAPs…….this with the constant addition of administrative staff and “diversity requirements” for all types of degrees…….because of the inherent difficulty of engineering degrees they did not require as MUCH but still instilled some into it….IIRC I had 6-semester units at CC and another 6 at the upper division……I think it was 9 + 9 for the other degree types and they were offering pathing so you could get a “minor” through your multicultural/diversity required classes
Yep. Dad was a BEEE. He loved systems engineering. I asked him before he died what he liked best about his career. He said it was working on the Saturn V. Yep. Engineers gonna engineer. Do what hasn’t been done. Perfect what has. Take the time it takes and it takes less time.
People want plug and play careers and six figures right out of college now. They won’t go into something that might not net that McMansion, beach house, condo in Jackson Hole, and several vacations a year taken by flying their private plane to their destination, all within the first five years.
Gone are the days when people actually used a board, slide rule, compass, and their BRAINS to engineer something useful and practical because they wanted to do it. They did it, like mountaineers say of why they climb a mountain, “because it was there.”
Emerson said of engineering: “The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.”
” SLIDE RULE To THE HEAVENS ” = SATURN Series
All true, unfortunately. Though getting burned repeatedly with investing ones resources into a path with a long payoff and then getting all the opportunities for advancement yanked out from you much like a rug would do that. Corporations generally have no loyalty to their workforces outside of management these days. And governments don’t care either outside of the influence wielders.
Ironically enough, I’ve had systems engineering suggested to me. Love the idea of doing lots of those things, but my generation I feel has been given the bad end of every policy for many years. A fertile ground for cynicism and bitterness.
What I want so much now, is for them to just get out of the way and leave me in peace.
Your last sentence. Plus 1,000.
Be well.
Not one to really pile on about this kind of thing, but I think that Meghan McCain has not gotten the memo about how people REALLY feel about her papa:
“This is what Arizona wants in a governor? Someone fighting with a former beloved senators family members on social media for clicks? The state has real problems. https://t.co/XYSGHoW3y5

Mongo McCain needs help.
From the look of it, Mongo McCain eats plenty of helpings…
I would recommend a career change for Mongo….I think Sumo wrestling might be in order.

They did their job well. And she grew up enjoying the riches her Daddy was paid to embarrass and destroy this country.

Megan McCain has the maturity and intellect of a 7th grade mean girl.
As confirmed every time she opens her mouth in public.
Sadly, too many ill informed Arizonans have never learned that the “McCain the war hero” myth covered up a greedy, self absorbed, spiteful man who passed the same traits on to his daughter. I suspect she is still trying to win daddy’s attention and approval in some sad desperate way.
As an Arizona native, I resent that, and disagree.
I think Megan is actually helping KariLake and Wendy Rogers, in engaging in this public, online cat fight.
The McCain faction is losing/has lost credibility in Az.
Credibility is TRUST, and once lost is almost impossible to ever recover.
I would not consider you an “ill informed Arizonan!”
Most long time residents who are not under the spell of the remnants of the McCain Republicans see through the smoke screen.
That is not necessarily true for the waves of newbies, who don’t know history and only know the
McCain narrative carefully tended by the GOPe.
I agree. The McCain faction is losing ground, as evidenced by Ducey’s pathetic appearance on CNN. Megan’s whining isn’t helping, and with luck, as you say, Dutchman, she will push Kari Lake, Finchem, Masters to a decisive victory.
BTW, only an Arizonan for about a dozen years, but AZ has been in my heart since I first visited at the age of 10. Worth the fight to keep her Red.
Bingo. AZ in a nutshell.
Arizona native???
You know there are those of us who remember your posting history from years back, right?

Things have sure changed when you have Salon 3 days behind Sundance’s lead on a story.

That’s why radio guy Ken Matthews just got the ax. ( But he’s still on Gab & Rumble …. Ha-Ha )
You have to cut down the trees, too.
Talk about eye pollution!
Germany, which started aggressive wind farm construction 2o years ago, now faces a massive environmental problem as they reach end of life. Recycling windmill blades is toxic if shredded for landfill. The city-block size concrete foundations are infeasible to remove.
We too are facing the same problem as blades pileup in the world’s largest junk yards.
https://www.johnlocke.org/wind-turbines-graveyard-causing-a-stir-dont-say-we-didnt-warn-you/
We all have heard about how wind mills kill birds. They do.
But also, here in west Texas, the massive wind farms are obliterating the bat populations.
No bats means no checks on the grasshoppers. No checks on the grasshoppers means more destruction of crops. More destructions of crops means more pesticide usage.
You get the point.
Clean energy is not clean.
Doesn’t really sound like much energy, either..
More grasshoppers means more food for us! That aspect was probably planned.
LOL. I’ve heard that grasshoppers wrapped in bacon might be worth a try! 🙂
You heard wrong.
Wrap your bacon in bacon.
“Bacon … the Candy of meats!”
just look at the areas where the raw materials are extracted from the earth for a hint of “clean energy”….the “rare” earth metals that are in modern electronics ARE present in the US and Canada…..we do not want the large open pit mines and toxic areas required to remove the low percentage ore from waste to get the usable element from her grip
Two things of note here, those rare earths are part of the lanthanide group (IIRC) making them more difficult to isolate compared to other elements. Typically low concentrations (but still higher percentage wise then the rest of the Earth’s crust) within source minerals.
Then you have the common proximity with thorium, itself radioactive.
In less words, expensive to get in quantity without mitigating the problems by the byproducts generated. Assuming one cares enough about their environment to be going about it responsibly.
Creating a toxic wasteland in inner Mongolia is not the way to be going about it, looking at you CCP.
The good news is there will soon be no fresh water anywhere near Los Angeles. The Colorado River is being sucked dry and completely mismanaged.
Not particularly good news here in AZ.
CA always gets first dibs.
They keep rejecting desalinization plants.
Living in LaLa land is good…until it’s not, but those with money will leave.
Understood. Arizona is heading for a big problem.
I’ve been to Lake Mead. It’s amazing how low that lake is – the white stripes on the canyon walls are much bigger when you see them up close than what I imagined from photos. It’s not good.
When that lake runs dry, so does the Colorado river. No water for anyone downstream. The power grid will fail, too. It’s amazing that the people in charge are letting this happen. And happen it will.
Last I saw Lake Mead is less than 150′ away from being what is known as a “dead pool”. No water is able to go downstream at that point. In essence, the Colorado River will be dry from the dam, downstream.
Phoenix has it’s own aquifer. I made sure I live in city limits because I suspect much of the greater Phoenix area will run low on water someday and most of those people aren’t actually part of Phoenix.
It’s one of those little items boaters know about, and keep in their emergency kits along with epurb, Flairs, radio, extra batteries, 1st aide, etc:
You can find deals on Amazon, or sporting goods stores to make clean, drinkable water from salty, or questionable water. There are different sizes.
Sounds like CA residents need to flush more often so AZ will get more water.
Colorado Compact has been mismanaged since its inception in the 1930’s…Mexico is SUPPOSED to get 15% of the water carried by the river…..never has…..the river delta at the end of the river’s flow into the Sea of Cortez dried up years ago decimating migratory species and leaving baked, hard ground behind…..believe it or not there are environmental efforts there to try to restore the area to its previous natural state but they do suffer some serious challenges……all this with the explosive growth and demands for water from Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego and Tucson…..al participate in the compact and are supposed to receive a set allotment of water but LA has always cheated and gotten more than it deserved…..if you like history do research on William Mulholland for a robber baron on behalf of LA for water rights
True enough, but you have to understand that kalifornia MUST send fresh water down the Sacramento River to the Pacific to save the smelt. I mean, first things first….
went to college at Chico State at the head of the Sacramento Aquifer and just N of the Oroville Dam….I am well aware of the Hatch-Hetchy Watershed…….there again is another privileged end water user in the Bay area….SF is guaranteed whatever water they want while they dump literally trillions of gallons into the bay to save the Delta Smelt
OR … watch “Chinatown”!
Our future under the green cult…….from sea to shining sea.
I always thought those solar panels would burn up the ground under them and make the soil useless forevermore. They are everywhere in Northeastern NC. JMO.
However, there are still farmers planting their fields with tobacco, corn, soybeans and peanuts. Those fields are looking really lush.
there are two main systems that use solar, both had facilities within an hour’s drive of where I was in the Mojave Desert in CA……one uses a circulating fluid like antifreeze but much more specialized that is then sent to a heat exchanger to generate steam and used in a generator setup to make electricity in the traditional way we think about…..the other has had a myriad of problems and there is a similar setup off I-15 on the way to Vegas, neither has ever lived up to its promises….they use parabolic lenses to reflect the sun onto a central tower with a specialized fluid …….you can see this type because they are arranged in concentric circles around a hub with computer controlled tracking ….this fluid is then used again in a steam generator to create steam and used for mechanical energy to rotate an electric generator……this type has experienced difficulties with both the fluid and blow through on the central vessel from high heat loads…..the one near me by Barstow never got above 2/3 of planned generation and was down to 1/3 when I left in 2020
But it’s pretty good at incinerating birds!
Always a good idea to generate electricity by using steam (i.e hot water) in the Mohave Desert.
I live in the southwest, and love the southwest. Sadly greed and stupidity ruin everything.
My sons say that the ” Desert ” WEST of ECity is a ” GLASS FARM ” Now instead of Beans and Corn.
Is Camden County the Same ?
I can’t speak for Camden, but Gates County NC is definitely not a glass farm.
In essence what the Green New Deal wackos are putting into the ground is more polluting, dangerous than taking oil and gas out of the ground!!! Who knew?
I wonder what the heat index around those things is. Talk about global warming. If you don’t think those things don’t raise the ground temp around them you have another thing coming.
Just a couple answers to your wondering, mspsgt 🙂

They kill birds that fly over them in the heat of the day. Some solar plant workers in CA say the sight of birds flying over the solar field and getting set on fire mid flight is so common they call the dying birds “streamers” because of the wisps of smoke their burning bodies leave as they fall from the sky.
Yeah, so caring, so compassionate for Mummy Earffff. Burn her creatures to DEATH.

Great discussion on the end of unipolarity.
You won’t hear anything like this on our Sunday shows.
https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/559126-end-unipolarity-increased-tensions/
Superb show. Thanks for posting.
People were cancelled, vilified and their jobs threatened for saying this.
. . . and people were killed, while many others permanently maimed by those injections.
I will never, ever, ever forget what these politicians did to loved family members, business partners, and friends.
Each new day have found myself taking a deep breath before picking up the phone to call a friend or loved one, for fear I will hear, again, that they (or their family member) has died or developed a sudden stage 4 cancer after taking the injections and their boosters.
That’s my new normal.
Everyone who was skeptical from the start was on the right side. President Trump said “NO” to mandates but recommended it. It was the choice of the people and the data about the truth of the mRNA shots was not yet out so he knew as much as we knew. But it was ALWAYS free choice even when they were giving out gift cards and food.
But the moment mandates were issued? That’s where your case begins.
I never fell for this. I was outcast by many people for speaking out about how obviously corrupt this is. Today, as I look back, I don’t feel great about being right but I did protect my family.
I have lost 6 friends to the jab. Another is fighting a debilitating stroke, and now 3 have cancer. I totally feel you Bessie. This is a nightmare we can not awaken from.
Since June 20th, I know of 4 employees in my company that have died – jabbed, and I know one was boosted.
1. 54 year old woman from aggressive lymphoma
2 Healthy 34 year old woman died unexpectedly
3 Healthy 52 year old man died unexpectedly – found dead at home in bed
4 Healthy 49 year old man died unexpectedly
Finally perused the Medicare booklet which came for Summer 2022, which has a section on Covid 19 Scams and it has this paragraph:
Be aware of these COVID-19 scams:
Hard to believe they still have the gall to try to diminish the effectiveness of Ivermectin halfway through 2022!
They have to maintain the narrative.
Remember, all vaxxes, as well as Paxlovid and other drugs being pushedcalong the pipeline are still only approved under EUA.
The emergency must continue, and no existing treatments can be authorized.
Read about India’s experience with Ivermectin as it was adopted as the treatment throughout the provinces/states in India. One province held back at the urging of a WHO bureaucrat, and an enterprising attorney charged the bureaucrat with “crimes against humanity”.
I can’t provide links due to my carelessly deleting a directory. I believe the good stuff came from the New Delhi Times which publishes an English translation. Look in late 2021 and early 2022.

The vaxxed are in worse health, picking up every variant. Many are showing signs of compromised immune function. My husband had shingles and was treated with an AIDS drug. Many complain of headaches, nightmares, insomnia and unexplained joint pain.
I know five recently diagnosed with various late stage cancers. My friend’s brother died of a heart attack in his 50’s. Three husbands in my circle had surgeries for serious conditions including arrhythmia, and one wife was also seriously ill.
I take daily vitamins and Zinc and weekly HCQ and IVM for prevention. I had two short bouts of severe fatigue and a mild sinus congestion. Many vaxxed I know suffer more serious flu symptoms every few months.
In the video below from Georgia’s Fulton County, are we watching the process of data smoothing taking place?
Example only follows
———————————-
Overnight, O’Donnell prepared another video, this time of the Edison data emanating from Georgia’s Fulton County. Based on the data provided to the media throughout the country during the 2020 Election, there can be no doubt of data manipulation in Fulton County.
{Link} Video Clip
Yea, Loon Raccoon has info on telegram. Here is the GWP link with more videos. Sure does make you think,eh?
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/07/another-video-shows-impossibility-behind-2020-election-results-time-fulton-county-georgia/
Then the following must be an example of data smoothing?
According to the Edison data charts President Trump was in the lead all night, then there was a massive injection of Biden votes after Florida was called for Trump – just like we saw in MI, PA, GA, etc.
When taking the records as stored in the state’s Election Management System (EMS) you’ll notice that the Biden votes that were injected at the end of counting on TV are now spread out so it doesn’t look like there was a massive Biden ballot dump.
infuriating
Where is link to that? Last I checked they were simply suppressing the real graph, not changing it altogether.

Not sure if I agree with the following point? I believe the data smoothing presented to the viewers would have said Biden was winning all night. Not very believable.
When taking the records as stored in the state’s Election Management System (EMS) you’ll notice that the Biden votes that were injected at the end of counting on TV are now spread out so it doesn’t look like there was a massive Biden ballot dump.
The first graph represents what was reported on TV with a huge jump in Biden votes after Florida was called for President Trump.
https://ncrenegade.com/a-new-declaration-of-independence/
Think outside the box – I saw this yesterday, wanted to share it here – ncrenegade ponders the original Declaration of Independence, then does some markup for our current situation – would that we each and all would take the time to read and ponder the Founder’s clear message, and come up with our own Declaration.
I withdrew my consent back in the 90’s, when I pickup up the morning newspaper to see Waco burning on the front page. I have my own thoughts on markup, but I’m good with the original as well.
We need to rediscover the mind and motivations of the Founders, en masse, as a country and as a unique and exceptional people. We are the greatest thing that ever happened to Humanity.
Sundance has had several articles on the problems with the ports in Los Angeles and Long Beach, many of which were related to the green new deal.
This morning Dr. Mercola had an article on how these two ports rank dead last and next to dead last among 370 ranked ports in the world.
How Two US Ports Devastated a Global Supply Chain
https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2022/07/18/how-us-ports-devastated-global-supply-chain.aspx
The 2021 Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) ranks 370 ports that had a minimum of 20 ports of call within the 12-month study period…. King Abdullah Port in Saudi Arabia and the Port of Salalah in Oman earned first and second place, with an index value of 93.387 and 87.372, respectively. “In the Middle East, heavy investments in container port infrastructure and technology are proving to be effective,” Martin Humphreys, lead transport economist at the World Bank, told Freight Waves.
… On the other end of the spectrum, coming in second to last and last, were Long Beach and Los Angeles ports in California, with index values of -281.841 and -348.928, respectively.9 Freight Waves cited “a multitude of factors” that led to a backlog of ships on the West Coast in 2021…
… “But over the medium to longer term, an inefficient port will result in slower economic growth, less employment, and higher costs for importers and exporters,” the report explained.4 Because so many global goods depend on maritime transport, it’s made container ports “critical nodes in global supply chains and central to the growth strategies of many emerging economies.” …
“Poor performance at one port on the route could disrupt the entire schedule. The result far too often is that instead of facilitating trade, the port increases the cost of imports and exports, reduces the competitiveness of its host country and its hinterland, and inhibits economic growth and poverty reduction.” …
In October 2021, 100 ships were waiting to unload at the adjacent Long Beach and Los Angeles ports, Reuters reported, reaching a new all-time high.12 As the world’s largest trader, the world’s largest importer in terms of dollars and the largest economy, the U.S. depends on shipping trade for economic stability and growth. The weaknesses at U.S. ports are contributing to high inflation, which is exacerbated by supply chain issues that make it more expensive to move goods….
But but but, the Fed is treating it as a demand side issue….
But, but, but, Petey’s in charge so it’s all good!
He’s in charge between “chest feeding” his twins using the fake-a-momma contraption.
The crushing power of the pharmaceutical industry – a sorry tale
“Here is a sorry tale about the power of the pharmaceutical industry to crush all dissent … dead. The key player is Dr. Aseem Malhotra, who some of you may know. He is a consultant cardiologist. Very bright, sparky, willing to take on the establishment when required. I get on well with him, we communicate on many different issues. He has his detractors – I am not one of them.
First, some background, to put this tale into some kind of context. It is part of an e-mail that I was sent, by Aseem. I I have modified it slightly. Basically, I changed it from first person and got rid of some typos. I have also checked with other independent witnesses, to ensure the accuracy of events:”
https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/2022/07/18/the-crushing-power-of-the-pharmaceutical-industry-a-sorry-tale/#comments
For all the DeSantis fans here; I was just listening to a Friday warroom segment and DeSantis is collecting huge sums of money for his Florida campaign including 10 mill from some never Trumper and millions from pharma companies and other big businesses. And somehow you think he will be better than Trump? I really don’t think so.
One thing people forget about Trump, is that Trump is independently wealthy, he does not need anyone’s money, so he can not be bought. That is one of the main reasons I voted for him in 2016, along with his non-interventionist foreign policy. Since he cannot be bought and apparently there is nothing to black mail him over, he is not controllable and that must scare them the controllers terribly.
After my move to South Dakota I’ve found that until you are actually living in the state you might not understand what is really happening.
Have to say that my awaking to South Dakota was not only a huge awaking to me but to several of my conservative friends who live else where.
That’s it? WHAT is your opinion of South Dakota? I had considered moving there on a few occasions. Do you regret moving there?
Don’t regret moving here at all for God’s people are here at least in the Black Hills. Great people great churches and great scenery.
However, it turns out we have quite a few RINOs at the upper levels & Noem is doing her best to fill up the state with more.
Told myself when I moved that I was going to do more than just vote Red when I got to South Dakota. Well in doing that I got awoke to many truths about Noem & the people she supports than I expected.
If you do come, get involved in what is happening. This is a great state & we all need to help keep it that way.
The climate agrees with me, anyways. I am an avid motorcyclist and the Black Hills are supposed to be a slice of motorcycle heaven. I’m a self employed tradesman so I could supplement my meager SS payments. I enjoy moving to new areas, making new friends and fitting in.
Anyways … thanks for the interesting feedback!
Ok moderators not quite political…But here you go boogy
It is the same most everywhere. Here in the FL Panhandle, voting issues and supposedly very conservative.
Much work to be done. Everyone has to step up. Clean voters rolls…people.. Do it while your sitting there. Act like the pede’s when they get data tests dropped on line to analyze. It’s easy.
Noem IS a RINO. She always has been however, she is extremely cunning in her optics to look like she “fits” with the MAGA movement. Horses in front of American flags, the right talk, messages about America first. Typical RINO politician, only more conniving.
Don’t forget she was front and certain and the fake inauguration of Pedo Joe in Washington. I have tried to find the pictures…no success yet.
I thought I had the video marked but there is a video out their Noem making a joke of Trump.
Big Agriculture supports her as well?
Not so much in SD anymore..
Not to mention there is a clear difference between being a successful state governor, vs a leader and fighter of an entire country on the World Stage.
Kindly remember the many, many international ties PDJT had as a businessman. Do you not believe many of those billionaire businessmen and world leaders worked with him prior to his announcing his presidential bid?
Come on Man, don’t be naive.
Be very careful with discarding PDJT at this juncture; you may not get exactly what you thought you were wishing for, to carry on as a War-Time POTUS during this Cold Civil War with the Woke-Comms. (courtesy of Thomas Klingenstein, Chairman, Claremont Institute.
https://tomklingenstein.com/
especially when you have a mostly cooperative legislature and bureaucracy vs. an inimical one who fights against your every move like PDJT had in DC
Exactly
DeSantis IS the future. Otherwise there IS no future.
Really, it’s time to stop picking at the people who will be leading us forward.
PDJT will not be here much longer. If we destroy all those who are capable and worthy in order to look for another PDJT, then we are cutting off our nose to spite our face.
A Big Pharma and NeverTrump supported future?
Tell me who is better than DeSantis?
Take your time.
Did you vote for Jeb?
Still waiting for an intelligent answer.
Do you actually think the Uniparty won’t go after DeSantis just like they did Trump? Don’t make me laugh.
Kari Lake, who has emerged as a very Trump-like not-a- politician politician.
Good – now we’re thinking positively. Looking beyond Trump, Trump, Trump.
She has potential, but DeSantis has actual, practical experience and v important – a track record.
DeSantis will not be any better than the typical politician is all I am saying. Sorry to disappoint you. And to say he is the future and no one else is available’ wow, you have DeSantis fever bad….
Oh, Charlie Crist…get off this site!!! You couldn’t carry water in a thimble…we FLORIDIANS know…you’ve run as a Rep, a Dem, and an Independent. Just can’t stay out of the spotlight.
Sorry Charlie. Florida loves DeSantis…even those hundreds of thousands who switched parties and turned thus state Red.
There’s only one cure for that fever! More cowbell!
DeSantis is as close to perfection as we need.
“Only a fool waits for the highest price.” Joseph Kennedy Sr.
DeSantis needs wisdom AND seasoning….he is STILL subject to influencing by the Globalists
Point out 3 egregious examples. I warrant you cannot.
Wilton Simpson and Francis Suarez….two outta three ain’t bad
Can you elaborate? Naming 2 RINOS proves nothing. What EXACTLY did DeSantis do that proves he is “subject to influencing by the Globalists”
Remember – your answer must include EGREGIOUS examples, not minor things..
Hasn’t announced he will donate his salary to a worthy cause, and work fir Floridians,…
And that labels him a WEF stooge?
Don’t feed the Concern Trolls. All they will do is complain, but never give you an answer of what they are actually complaining about. I see a lot of this now on CTH… It used to be fun to peruse the threads, but now we have to deal with these folks whose only desire is to spread “Concern” over this or that.
Ignore them. Starve them. Eventually, they will go back to the Huffington Post or CNN where they came from.
Ignoring concerns is kinda what got us into the mess we are in today.
There is a big difference between ignoring concerns and ignoring concern trolls whose only ambition is to discourage and confuse.
YES!! Thank you, JAW.
I am not going to waste my time reviewing the last near 4 years while he was governor but there have been MORE than 3….a BIG one is he has NEVER done a full forensic audit of the election of 2020….his narrow win over Gillum should have demonstrated the need
Did he get rid of Dominion machines in Florida? Dd he go on a nationally visible campaign to do so?
Says who?
All I have to say is be very careful about who you put your faith in.
Hey I don’t expect someone perfect, just someone that truly loves & believes in our Constitutional America and legal Americans.
I do believe that Trump is that man, even with his crazy tweets and language. Yes, I will admit that my ears hurt a bit after some of his tweets and speeches, but my American Christian heart joyfully beats knowing he TRULY cares.
God has Trump’s number and do believe the Lord is behind this crazy imperfect man.
Remember with all his riches, Trump did not need to get involved. On top of that Trump is one of the very few lawmakers who did not increase their wealth 10 times over while in office.
So the first perfect person on here please go ahead and throw the first stone. For as much as I try I am as imperfect as they come & it is only by the grace of God that I am where I am today.
Trump WAS great. The right man for the right time.
BUT, he was FAR from perfect and had lots of warts too. One HUGE one was his inability to pick reliable underlings.
DeSantis COULD be great. But there seems to be a cabal who wan nothing but ALL Trump, ALL the time until eternity. No one else will suit, so we must bring down anyone with potential.
Sorry to disappoint, but if people keep denigrating everyone who shows potential, you’ll end up with nothing.
Excuse me, but Ron DeSantis needed Donald J. Trump to win over the likes of Andrew Gillum and PT did indeed pull DeSantis over the line. Let him season his potential and solidify his gains with another term in Florida
Listen to what I’m saying, instead of what you think I’m saying. I’ve NEVER said PDJT was not helpful to his allies.
Yes, Trump helped DeSantis – that’s expected from fellow conservatives and persons of good character.
McTurtle would have to approve any Cabinet position for DeSantis just like he did for President Trump, and besides for months and months, DeSantis has said he has no interest in the position of President in 2024.
Uh huh. DeSantis is not going to pre-empt PDJT. But hat does not mean he won’t be running.
McTurtle is coming to his end soon – hopefully sooner than we think.
As long as Trump is available take advantage of Trump. Who beside Trump has the experience and competence?
They have been successful using the Trump/DeSantis wedge on you which is their goal and you offer proof it is working.
Competence on policy, I hearily agree.
Competence on staffing? Uh, uh.
I for one, would like to know how many White House staffers (by that I mean those who actually run the behind the scenes operations) were hold overs from the previous administrations) versus staff Trump replaced.
If you mean his administrative staff, remember that a large number of them were recommended to PDJT by RINOs like McTurtle. And then some were vetted by his closest advisors, who had no real experience in DC politics or the swamp critters that make their living there. Bolton anyone?
Now, should he regain the WH (Lord willing) I expect he will use his previous experience there to do a better job of vetting those doing the vetting.
Agreed – he would undoubtedly do a much better job.
Fire EVERYONE he can for a start. If possible, fire those he can’t technically fire, or give them the choice of transfer to some place FAR away from DC, OR a fabulous retirement package.
Need to get rid of them, or negate their influence in every way possible.
I also present two major points to consider…….the LEFT is still full throttle against PDJT meaning they are AFRAID of what he would do…..they STOLE 2020 from him so all these politicians moving up in line thinking it is “their turn”…..it IS his turn as his legitimate win was taken from him
Partly agree, especially with the last line.
We need to look past some of their warts and flaws.
As for Trump’s picking of underlings, most of us on here on still being shocked by our discovery of RINOs that we didn’t know about.
H3LL, I have a feeling that most of us have many more shocks to come as more and more lawmakers we didn’t suspect are uncovered as RINOs or rather Democrats using the Republican name.
True Dat. There are many RINO’s in America First clothing, not only in DC but in State Legislatures also.
“Sorry to disappoint”? No, you’re not. That is why you are here. Go away Concern Troll… Go back to Soros and “Concern” someone else.
OK Johnny-come-lately, whatever you say.
Haven’t seen your name pop up much in he last 6 years while I’ve been fully supporting PDJT.
sorry to disappoint you but you TEMPER metal by subjecting it to HIGH heat….DeSantis has experienced heat….just not HIGH heat
Not like PDJT, certainly, it’s true.
Has ANYONE been subject to the heat like him? I doubt it.
But DeSantis has not exactly had DC fawning over him.
That’ll come as son as he enters the race (if he chooses to do so)
It was not that Trump did not try. However, we are overrun with lying, backstabbing people who pretended they were there to help and did just the opposite. Actually, I remember George Bush used to be undermined too but not as severely. It is just the way it is as not many are honest and most are bought off. DeSantis will not be any more successful.
Big Pharma wants him to keep the Medical Marijuana Law as restrictive as possible(“NO SOUP FOR YOU”). The lobbyists just tried to have legislation passed to further regulate an already oppressive Cartel structure. He has disregarded every one of my and many other Floridian’s phone calls and emails concerning the Machines and Watermarked, Serialized Paper Ballots and 1 day only voting.
His staff never responded to my expressed concern that DOMINION is owned by Red China. I sent them the receipts.
He only moved on Laurel “Zuckerborg Bucks” Lee after grassroots canvassing showed some glaring issues with the voter rolls and long deceased Floridians casting ballots in ’20, as I am sure you are aware.
Yes. And that escapade is what made me call my Dad’s last county of registration AND the FLSoS office after he died to be sure they did not have anyone by his name at his address on the voter roll.
I get what you’re saying.
PDJT is uniquely positioned to fight the legal battles, protect his family, and tell people to go to hades.
It’s helpful to be a billionaire..
Gov DeSantis requires money to fight the battles. The money comes from somewhere, and always has.
With our eyes wide open, it’s really hard to trust any politician or leader, but we have to believe there are people with integrity who will stay the course.
It’s not just helpful; it means he can not be bought.
So you don’t believe that those WITH money want MORE money?
Having said the obvious, I don’t WANT to believe that PDJT can be bought either.
But there are circumstances, especially with the evil at work in the US/World at present, where even honest billionaires CAN be bought. Or not even bought, but controlled.
Think safety and well-being of your own family, for example.
“I love Trump”… But but but
Go away.
No, sorry. I’m going nowhere.
Blind worship of any individual with no strings attached is a fool’s game. Not playing your game.
Puhhhleeeeze! That dude(DeSantis) is swimming in cash from Floridians and out of Staters!
Yup, enough he can relax and do the Jeb Stroke…
Hey I will say I was really surprised at the amount of money that Thune & Dusty Johnson raised for their primary campaign, especially for such a small state. Thune got over 2 million with over 80% from out of state, On the other hand Johnson raised more than a million, but only about 20% from out of state.
Come on people who needs that much money for a primary for a state with not even a million people. H3ll South Dakota has almost 5 times more cows than people!!
Where the Candidates Got Their Money
https://www.opensecrets.org/states/SD/candidates/2022
Anyone can say anything on a radio show. I want proof, not innuendo, before believing anything. Not all politicians are billionaires like Trump, and do have to rely on donations. It is up to his campaign to filter these donars.
Don’t believe without proof.
Lincoln Project refugees and Pharma buying DeSantis? Say it ain’t so.
Jeb in a different suit, a least that’s how the money reads.
The donor thing….Indeed. reminds me of 2015-16 and how they boasted about Jeb’s ¡ stuffed to over flowing war chest. The party still acts as if maga donor flocking is a positive spin!😂
I don’t trust DeSantis he’s got the same resume as so many political hacks. I do like him as FL governor because he does the right thing a lot because he wants the base for his presidential run.
You can’t trust any politician that needs the money of the party and the oligarchs – all politicians are corrupt it’s just a matter of degree.
I also think the media will promote the heck out of him to try to take out Trump and then they won’t like him – they’ll push a Haley or Pence or some such.
President Trump didn’t self fund his 2020 campaign, and if he runs in 2024 it won’t be self funded. MAGA needs allies. Too soon to be attacking people who have been doing positive things. No one will even declare until next year. I’m personally more concerned about the establishment making deals with MAGA candidates along the lines of let us pursue our foreign wars and we won’t sic the FBI on you like we did President Trump.
Knowing 45’s attitude, like the “Make Mexico pay for it”….He has some one financing it! Maybe the dems are and don’t know it?
This is a question I tried to get answer out of Dusty Johnson .
Why $40 Billion to protect Ukraine’s border when he said $4 Billion was too much for a wall to protect our border.
Don’t you know? It’s because Russians will interfere in the presidential election for President Trump and the illegal aliens crossing the Southern border will all vote Democrat (multiple times). /sarc
They’re traitors. Their loyalty is to globalism, not the United States.
“Force majeure is a common clause in contracts which essentially frees both parties from liability or obligation when an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the control of the parties, such as a war, strike, riot, crime, epidemic or sudden legal changes prevents one or both parties from fulfilling their obligations under the contract.”

Even before Nord Stream began maintenance on July 11, Gazprom had on June 14 reduced shipments through the pipeline under the Baltic Sea to Germany, citing the delay of a turbine being maintained in Canada by equipment supplier Siemens Energy.
Gazprom’s declaration of force majeure is effective from June 14, exonerating it from any compensation for shortfalls since then.

From a comment to the above article by James A. Nollet “There’s no dancing around this… the medication (Namenda) has made Joe incontinent. Though his “good days” have increased dramatically, he can barely get through a press event without running to the bathroom. That’s why he didn’t take questions after announcing Harris as his running mate. They weren’t afraid of the questions, the press loves him… they were afraid he was going to piss his pants on-camera. Lately, Jen’s been having closed-door meetings to discuss which brand of incontinence pads would be best to purchase. Seriously, a group of paid staffers sat around and discussed which brands were the least visible, the least likely to leak, and wouldn’t audibly “crinkle…That’s around the time I left the campaign. I can’t be a party to this sick game anymore.”
Eventually, the Namenda will not do what they want it to.
I think we’re starting to see the beginning of that already!

Dr. Harvey Risch: Why Are Vaccinated People Getting COVID at Higher Rates Than the Unvaccinated?
“The vaccines have done damage to the immune system such that it makes people more likely to get COVID—over a longer term, not the short-term vaccine benefit period, but after that—more likely to get COVID infections, more likely to get other respiratory infections.”
I sit down with Dr. Harvey Risch, professor emeritus of epidemiology at the Yale School of Public Health.
“We discuss why vaccinated individuals appear to be getting COVID-19 infections at higher rates than the unvaccinated, and how much of our policies over the last two years were based on flawed science—from lockdowns to the vaccine rollout for children.
We also reflect on the recent passing of Dr. Vladimir Zelenko, who pioneered the use of early COVID treatments. Doctors all over the country are now prescribing these sorts of treatments—mostly quietly, for fear of losing their medical licenses.
“I’m sure by now, there’s a quarter of a million Americans who have been treated successfully with these medications. They know that they were treated with these things. And they worked,” Dr. Risch says.”

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands who self treated with OTC’s, never tested, never sought medical consultation or treatment.
Grateful to Dr Zelenko, FLCCC, the functional medicine and homeopathic practitioners, and numerous others who shared knowledge and resources to empower us to help ourselves. Thank you for practicing real medicine.
The policy were NOT “based on FLAWED science”; in virtually ALL ways, they went against well established and recognised standards of care.
The virus was NOVEL; thats really ALL it had ‘going for it’ as a “bioweopon”.
Without the Governments, in a heavy handed way dictating and manipulating every aspect of the “Public health responce”, from data collection (who is dieing WITH, rather than FROM, for instance) to the viscious suppression of Drs exploring treatment options, Covid would have been a mild blip on the radar.
The Virus wasn’t the mass killer, the Gov. responce was. And given how the Government responce was counter to everything ALREADY KNOWN about how to address virus’s and pandemics, it can NOT be explained away by incompetence.
“The BUILDING is on fire, its a small fire, in a trash can!”
“Should we pour water on it?”
“No, DON’T do THAT!”
“Should we call 911, and pull the fire alarm?”
“No, I ORDER you not to do that!”
“Should we evacuate the building, the fires getting BIGGER!”
“NO, pour GASOLINE on it, THATS what we MUST do, and anyone who disagrees will be shot dead!”
Thats NOT gross incompetence, its ARSON.
Especially when the one giving the orders, STARTED the trashcan fire.
And, if any die in the fire, and collapse of the building, its felony MURDER.

I don’t think people watching their kids starve give a rat’s rear end about “DIE” (and, yes, it is DIE, the death of the West.) And I guarantee you they won’t care about Mother Nature.
Hungry people do stupendous and terrifying things. Look at the French Revolution. That revolution is why bread is still subsidized in France.
Could bread subsidies also have anything to do with the massive amounts of people who died of disease from making bread with polluted river water?
Making sure people have financial access to non lethal bread seems like a good idea.
When I studies in France, they taught the bread was subsidized because the government didn’t want to be guillotined again.
Grrr. STUDIED. #@!$ fat fingerzzzz.
Hi everyone, I cut my cable years ago and went on digital antenna, which I love. They just switched up our lineup and moved my favorite channel, MeTV, from 55.1 to 55.2. Now on 55.1 we have a 24/7 news channel, Spectrum News1. I’m in the Dallas area, and the news is local, or at least from Austin, not sure. Haven’t watched much. Just curious how left biased this particular network is, does anyone know? I’m guessing pretty left as a few seconds of perusal has turned up specials on J6, diversity in movies, etc.
On another topic — I have a DVR that records antenna channels onto an external drive. But the weird issue I’ve found is that these recordings will only play on my Sony Bravia TV if the show has been recorded on a channel ending in “.1.” If it’s anything else, it will NOT play on my TV, even though the recorded files appear to be the same as the “.1” recordings when viewed in the folder on my PC. So now I cannot play 55.2 recordings on my TV…if anyone knows why that might be I’d appreciate it. Thanks!
Spectrun News1 is owned by Charter Communications, it is al jazeera tv. Complete propaganda, cable in Florida is Spectrum, you might as well get cable back.
MeTV in Dallas is on channel 1136 (HD)…Park Cities…they moved it from 1055…
Joe, are you saying that the recorded video files from channel 55.2 will play on your computer but not on the Sony TV? Do the video files have the same file extension (the characters after the period in the file name (like .DVR))? You could try changing the file name or extension but your best bet for a solution is to do a google search (or youtube search) for DVR files and the file extension.
You don’t need TV at all. Everything you need is right here.

DC Democrats start to feel the pressure of illegal immigration as border states start shipping immigrants to Washington D.C.
Good! An average of 100 new immigrants are being bused into town daily and all those dems are finding their resources and patience are running out fast.

Yup. The absolute and great opposite of the” Cut and run and leave them on the tarmac” crew now in charge…. on both sides of the aisle.
Fast forward to the end of our war in Afghanistan and usurper Biden literally went on vacation and abandoned NINE THOUSAND US citizens in Afghanistan with no means of getting out of the country when the Taliban took over.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/02/biden-tries-forget-9000-americans-abandoned-afghanistan-actress-angelina-jolie-calls-world-not-forget-suffering-country/
And Biden did not leave $85 billion in US military equipment to the Taliban just by accident. Retired retired U.S. Army Brigadier Ggeneral Anthony Tata stated, “They chose to let it happen, they facilitated it happening, and now what you’ve got is a terror superstore there in Afghanistan.”
And knowing the hidden truth about Afghanistan makes it even worse:
https://www.sott.net/article/425405-Undeniable-Evidence-Explosive-Classified-Docs-Reveal-Afghan-War-Mass-Deception
The US spent over $1 TRILLION in the Afghanistan war with more than 2,000 Americans killed and over 20,000 wounded, and what do we have to show for it? A report shows that: 1) the attempts to Westernize Afghanistan were futile. 2) the government manipulated on a mass scale the statistics fed to the public in order to hide the true disastrous nature of the war; and 3) US leaders turned a blind eye to large scale theft of US tax payer dollars by corrupt Afghan officials. US aid was looted “with impunity” according to the released documents, and provide undeniable evidence that top defense officials knew years of rosy public statements were a mountain of lies.
A nice sentiment but the airline was owned by an Israeli named, Morris K. Nachtomi. He was credited with transporting the bulk of the Gulf War soldiers to and from the Middle East.
Interesting in that it reveals how useless our politicians were even in 1991, with the GOPe in charge—and that Trump was a young man who delivered, who got things done, even way back then.
Thanks or sharing that wonderful story. (And we all know there are so many more Trump stories that are just like it.)

PUTIN WANTS MORE CANNON FODDER
From the Institute for the Study of War
At understandingwar.org
July 26, 2022
“The Russian Federation has launched a large-scale drive to form volunteer battalions in the 85 “federal subjects” (or regions) that comprise the federation. Recruiting for some volunteer battalions began in June but has intensified in July, with new volunteer units being reported daily. The battalions apparently will consist of roughly 400 men each aged between 18 and 60. They will belong to various branches of service including motorized rifle, tank, and naval infantry, but also signals and logistics. Recruits are not required to have prior military service and will undergo only 30 days of training before deployment to Ukraine.”
(Continues the above.)
(Snip)
“This drive will likely produce “soldiers” of lower quality than the normal conscripts in the Russian army at close to professional-soldier prices. It is a remarkable expedient that suggests that Russian President Vladimir Putin remains unwilling to compel his people to fight and unable to attract them to fight voluntarily without considerable incentives.”
When I was in the Army, basic training was eight weeks. Advanced Infantry Training was twelve weeks. After AIT, infantrymen were thought to need several months with their assigned unit before being sent into combat. I suspect that for the Vietnam War, some, or even most, soldiers were being sent over after AIT.
The British have begun a four month training cycle for 10,000 Ukrainians in Britain. I assume some of the training folderol I experienced will be shortened or dropped entirely. Even then, the Ukrainians will face a steep On-The-Job training experience in combat.
30 days of training for these Russian units, essentially local militia, while better than nothing, means ineffective units that will die more quickly.
Those soldiers’ problems include old equipment out of storage that needs fixing, and (probably) less than adequate local training efforts, certainly less than regular Russian Army conscripts receive, which has already been demonstrated as inadequate.
For a bunch of … “lower quality”, “ineffective”, some 60 years old (!) equipped with “old equipment out of storage that needs fixing, and (probably) less than adequate local training efforts, certainly less than regular Russian Army conscripts receive, which has already been demonstrated as inadequate.” … Russian Soldiers … it sure seems like this Russian rabble is kicking Ukraine Nazi butt from one end of Donuts City to Dumbass? How much worse would it be for the Ukrainian Army if regular Russian Army troops got really mad?
Must be how the New York Yankees would feel if their 1927 team was being wiped up by the Moscow School for the Blind and Infirm.
Can the Russians just go ahead and surrender to you and the Institute For The Study Of War?
The OP doesn’t see or comprehend the bigger picture and/or does not want to.
Right now, the Russians are letting the corrupt Ukrainian government bleed out the West with self-inflicted economic ‘sanctions’ destroying their economies, and literally emptying their existing military reserves into a losing theater, to be blown up or captured. Never interrupt your adversary when they are making a mistake. The Russians are historically strategic masters of military time and space.
This conflict was effectively settled in Russia’s favor after the first day. Russia possesses complete theater air superiority. And they have methodically, carefully and in many instances surgically, already achieved their stated objectives: flushing out the extremist Nazi Azov Ukrainians who were massacring ethnic Russians in the east, on Russia’s very doorstep — without causing massive civilian casualties or the wholesale destruction of essential infrastructure. Uncovering Western biowarfare laboratories directed at Russia was a bonus.
That the West and NATO have decided to slowly bleed themselves out in response, after the conflict had already been decided, is a bonanza that the Russians never planned on in their most optimistic projections. It is strategic malpractice on a par with the Maginot Line.
The only war the West is successfully waging at this point is the propaganda war, unfortunately upon their own peoples. The military conflict is already effectively over. It is only a matter of time before the remaining Ukrainian military leadership turns on Zelensky and brings it to an end.
The principal refugees streaming out of Ukraine right now are able-bodied military aged men, fleeing from being forcibly conscripted by a tyrannical Ukrainian regime. The midget dictator of Ukraine is now declaring vast swaths of his own cabal “traitors”, after already banning all opposition political parties.
It is going to be a very cold and hungry winter across Western Europe. And the ones to blame are the WEF ‘leaders’ of Western Europe, who sold out their nations and peoples to prop up a vicious CIA puppet government running a globalist laundromat to facilitate NWO wet dreams in the East. Our own leaders have betrayed us and are the real traitors.
This conflict is absolutely no place for American forces, blood or treasure. It is nothing more than a defensive campaign to try and retain a hotbed of malfeasance for Western political elites. Hand Lindsey Graham and Chuck Schumer rifles, and let them go in to defend their rancid washing machine … and God-knows what other depraved amusement parks they have set up there to abuse the Ukrainian people.
I’m saving your comment for a response tomorrow, or the next day.
It’s a good example of the one side (Putin’s) of the conflicting Russian invasion narratives.
Good. We can all use a good laugh again “tomorrow, or the next day”.
You can post right under tomorrow’s “Cannon Fodder” story. This is the second day it’s been posted.
Russia is only doing well in Russian news sources.
People who watch satellite imagery, including infrared that tracks fire, video of equipment destroyed, and Russian military bloggers that got a meeting with Putin to air their complaints about Russian army blunders, all these say Russia’s military is struggling, badly, except when they can mass artillery to slowly smash everything ahead of them.
If anything of what you wrote were true, it would have been plastered all over the Western corporate media complex a long time ago.
Except … it is not. And screen shots from video games don’t count.
I think we have finally found the Ghost of Kiev. He flies around the Beltway.
Artillery is know as the King of the Battlefield for a reason. There is no shame in using it, hence why some of the biggest news stories are Western artillery deliveries to Ukraine.
EXCEPT that every source you quote shows on their maps that the Russians are steadily advancing across Eastern Ukraine. It’s not a blitzkrieg but a steady advance and every day for months you tell us the Russians are losing?
Whose currency is going “up” in value and whose currency is going “down” in value?
I get the feeling from your posts that you might be in an underground bunker, maybe in Berlin, and can’t see what’s going on, yourself.
It’s deja vu all over again! The Russians are winning, again ! Your side is losing, again! Face it, you need to buy a ticket to Argentina!
You keep stating that you are MAGA yet you post this Ukrainian propaganda everyday.
Most MAGA folk are not inclined to believe the globalist agenda, and the propaganda that comes out of NATO aligned Europe and Ukraine everyday.
Their first inclination is to question everything especially anything that aligns with the WEF and the green economy that they are pushing which is at the heart of this Ukraine Russian conflict.
But not you?? Hmm.
Not everything related to, or depends upon, the frenzy of ideas surrounding the WEF as the current source of all evil in national and global politics.
As for, MAGA, I’ll repeat, as many times before:
I want the crooks who stole our national government removed and punished.
Putin doesn’t care about WEF or green economy, or a “reset”.
Putin is a bloody tyrant who only cares about Making Russia Great Again by reconquering nations Russia used to control.
You keep saying that about Putin, but it was our President who forced vaccinations on US troops all the while ignoring religious exemptions, etc.? Why doesn’t this make Biden a bloody tyrant? You never comment about this?
We all know there were Bio-Labs in Ukraine and yet you never comment on this ? Nor do you ever comment about us sending 40 billion dollars to Ukraine either?
I care about the WEF and the green economy because this is what’s driving the conflict. Certainly not Putin with his weakened military(your words), damaged economy, low birth rates in Russia, and now surrounded by NATO aligned countries.
Lets be real here: Don’t be so cavalier using language like bloody tyrant when our country forces vaccinations on its own military all the while attempting to force vaccination passports on its citizens.
Which world leader did the following, Putin or Biden?:
1. Forced citizens to take an experimental medicine to work or travel
2. Forced citizens to endure black outs and brown outs and massive inflation and looming food insecurity to support a climate agenda
3. Arrest and/or imprisoned any and all who oppose him openly.
4. Threatened to use fighter jets and nukes on citizens who oppose his regime
Now, tell me who is the bloody tyrant. If in doubt, Roseanne Boyland wants a word.
OR needs to lose the ‘America perfect, Russia evil’ glasses. Neither government is worth a dime. As an American, I am far more concerned with my government.
Good. Then since the Ukrainians should have no problem wiping the Russians from their homeland, maybe they’ll give back some of the US tax payer money Biden gave them?
The Biden Crime Family should be the ones making restitution.
Why? Z asked for and got 40 BILLION from us. He can bloody well give it back! Maybe we could buy families in the USA BABY FORMULA with it!
FUKR! And the cross-dressing comedian it rode in on.
Russia will be upping their efforts shortly if recent reporting is accurate.
President Putin is truly destroying the reputation ( what little they had) of NATO led by Uncle Sam.
He truly is a Chess player, and if his opponent was serious ( and was not U.S. Congress corrupt)would have resigned long ago.
U.S. weapons systems are not performing as advertised and this may not bode well for the U.S. military industrial complexes arms sales going forward.
Cheers!
Russia will be more active after their operational pause to regroup and resupply.
Putin has badly damaged Russia’s military reputation by failing to knock out a third rate military power.
The weapons provided by NATO are effective, or Russia would not be trying to attack them, nor would they be moving ammunition supply depots out of their range.
you Oldrealist…sound like Vicky Nuland…COOKIE MONSTER …of Kyiv …who initiated with Kagan and others neocons cup and size down legitimite gov. in the UKR…are you MAGA my as*…..
Doesn’t common sense tell you (Apparently not!) that the Russians would want to knock out ALL weapons, effective or not so effective When the Ukrainians finally come down to blow guns, bows and arrows and throwing dirt bombs, the Russians will be attacking them too. But, of course, it’ll be lost on you.
You remind me of the Black Knight from “Monty Python’s Search For The Holy Grail”.

When did Zelenko start letting Ukrainian soldiers leave the Ukraine?

How nice to post your tripe without a link! Here is a link to the site you’re using. I have doubts about many of these board members, leadership, fellows, analysts and associates.
https://www.understandingwar.org/who-we-are
The Beltway Neocon stench is all over it …
Kimberly Kagan is the founder and president of the Institute for the Study of War. She is a military historian who has taught at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Yale, Georgetown, and American University. She is the author of The Eye of Command (2006) and The Surge: a Military History (2009), and editor of The Imperial Moment (2010). Dr. Kagan has published numerous essays in outlets such as The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Weekly Standard, and Foreign Policy. She co-produced The Surge: The Whole Story, an hour-long oral history and documentary film on the campaign in Iraq from 2007 to 2008.
And surprise! (not) to add to the stench; Ms. Kagan happens to be Victoria Nuland’s sister in law. For the Nuland\ Kagan clan, the Neocon business is a family affair.
That is of interest.
Do you ever check your sources? Using them without checking WHO is behind them is making you look bad.
A who’s who of the crooksandcreeps club…
Thanks for the detail. Having followed their reports from almost the beginning, they describe a fair amount of detail about their sources.
Back again.
Oldersoul did actual research, hats off!
Kimberly Kagan is from a notable family, described as neo-conservative in the sources quickly perused.
Kimberly Kagan’s brother is married to Victoria Nuland, whom I dislike as an Obama henchwonan.
Kagan did teach history at West Point.
That said, it should be pointed out that the ISW daily reports are not shy about discussing the Ukrainian army’s difficulties, which are real.
So far, I have not seen Russian based news sources describe Russian army difficulties.
Even if some conservatives classify Kimberly Kagan as a neo-conservative, it does not change the fact that President for Life Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine hoping to conquer it all, nor that Putin is trying to terrorize the Ukrainian people into submission.
Please help me on one point, what “brand” of conservatism is it that is willing to let Putin re-establish Russia as a great power that is hostile to Europe and America?
How does it help America if a tyrant like Putin Makes Russia Great Again, as our declared enemy?
I’d really like to know.
Give me a break, this is not the cold war era of bi-polar superpowers. Doesn’t exist anymore, last time I checked it ended around 1991.
With Russia literally surrounded by NATO aligned countries just how are they going to become a great power again? You just argued how weakened militarily they are so how can they threaten Europe again as a superpower?
Ukraine is to them like Mexico and Canada are to us. This is literally their border with national strategic implications for Russia alone.
The better question is what brand of conservatism allows for an aggressive foreign intervention in other countries’ affairs like Russia. Why is it conservative to send 40 billion dollars to Ukraine while we already support them with military arms? Can Russia no longer defend itself or carry out policies in their own self interest? When did it become conservative policy to be the world’s policeman?
Maybe you should research NATO and the expansion that has occurred over the last few decades. How does this fit the original charter of NATO? Kennan warned about the expansion of NATO because he knew it would lead to WWIII.
Now you know.
Awwwww … you were “T H I S CLOSE!!!! Now you’re gone again.
Ha ha ha – Dr. William Kristol, Director, Defending Democracy Together
Thanks for repeating the ISW link.
Their report from a few days back described the complaints of Russian military bloggers about the Russian army’s performance, and, their meeting with Putin.
A fascinating, and revealing, read.
.
Maybe because it is dated in the future . . .?
Lol! Ukraine is literally conscripting convicts, women, and anyone else they can scrounge up on beaches, casinos, or gas lines!
10 Levels of Food Security According to Congressman Thomas Massie
https://thelibertydaily.com/10-levels-of-food-security-according-to-congressman-thomas-massie/
Dave Rubin in his live podcast just put forward an interesting addition to my theory that Biden will step down at some time after the midterms due to Dim losses and his senility, Harris will become the first female prez, a minority one at that, and Newsome will be chosen by her (actually the Dim machine) as her VP to then run for prez in 2024 since Harris isn’t popular.
Thus, Newsome’s recent visit to the WH while Brandon was out of the country and the growing attacks against Brandon by the MSM who knew he was senile from day 1.
That was either the plan all along, or is their backup plan.
I’m not sure if Brandon will make it to the mid-terms…his decline is becoming too hard to hide! The fact that the MSM is openly discussing it, along with the increasing evidence regarding Hunter and his openly criminal behavior, may mean that they are going to push him out NOW and blame all the problems on him on the way out the door.
They have to do something before November to try to stir up the base – they will cook the votes again but this time enough people may be paying attention that it will be harder to pull off!
$100 says Ron Klain brought Newsome in, to position him as the VP nominee after Joe Bite-Me resigns or is forced to leave office.
That being the case, he brought in a slick con man who is just as unpopular as the giggling hyena.
I know THEY are all about planning, and scheming, however I think since the escalator ride, they have been “calling audibles” and have been commiting “forced errors”, fumbles and forced sacrifice plays.
THEY are convinved THEY can NOT survive another PDJT term, and are still desperately trying to find SOME way,….ANY way of preventing it.
THEY do not seem at all confident they can Steal it again, in 2024. And in that, I agree.
Why would they wait until after midterm. Does the Senate or the house have to approved the VP if Harris takes over?
The 25th Amendment states: “Whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the Vice President, the President shall nominate a Vice President who shall take office upon confirmation by a majority vote of both Houses of Congress.”
They would want to make this happen before the midterm.
.
So that the VP who takes over isn’t limited to running for just one more term.

Build Ukraine Back Better
by Lieutenant Colonel Oh Say Can You See Alexander Vindman
https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/ukraine/2022-07-17/build-ukraine-back-better
The co-author is a “lawfare” stooge. Talk about Ukraine propaganda and money laundering. Wheeeew!
Jelly Bismark Vindman should have taken the Old Country up on being Ukie-puke MoD.
Interesting speech and conversation at/near the Mall between the 1776’ers and Ivan Raiklin, a lawyer, former Green Beret and past GOP Senate candidate from Virginia. Currently live but should store at the same link which includes the 1776 meeting this morning. His segment starts about 3 hours into the live coverage.
Looks like Joe pulled it for editing. I’ll post a breakout of the speech when it comes back online. I found it clarified many aspects of Constitutional law and application to the events surrounding J6.
https://rumble.com/v1cnvhr-juan-o-savin-bloody-hill-jan-6th-revealed.html
Wow! If you have High Blood pressure avoid this. Another great video on the fraud that is the Jan 6th Unselect-Committee.
Our government is out of control
Out Govt has been OUT OF CONTROL for a LOOOONG time.
NOW, we KNOW it.
And yes, it makes a difference.
No doubt.
As advertised, this will crank up the old blood pressure. A metric ton of good information in this long video. I’m finding that people, even conservatives, are getting that 1000 yard stare. ‘Seem to be in overload. ‘Send these types of things out over email to 30 folks and get zero responses. I HATE it ….Like they’ve all assumed the white flag, no mas, position.
I’m seeing even liberals in my orbit waking up.
We have to keep pushing.
I see that Joe Rogan is engaging in rumor-mongering.
I also think the anti-Trumpers on both sides of the aisle have adopted their latest strategy to dissuade people from choosing Trump: 1) you’ll hear all kinds of them, including Geraldo on Fox, saying “It’s time for a new generation to take up the mantle of leadership in this country and 2) the “Trump is damaged goods–why not let DeSantis take over the MAGA sector of the GOP?”
Rogan has been pushing that, of course, and the lastest from him (I read the article on Drudge, a site I have only visited twice, one of them today, in about 3 years) is that “I hear Trump was always on Adderall, that he must have been since he only got 4 hours sleep a night and was so hyped he couldn’t read, that that was why he went off script on his teleprompter and why he told his morning intel briefers, ‘I don’t wanna read that.’.”
Hey, Rogan, you showed how ill-prepared you were to talk about political issues, any issues of import, when you couldn’t believe ere was another side to the Covid mess. Had you not been threatened with being kicked off your platform, you’d still be believing the crap the government goons put out in the main-stream press. Obviously you still don’t read widely and deeply.”
As for calling Trump a “man baby”? Humph. Seems he performed well for America and Americans, all except the types of people who think everyone is a racist and that a male can be fairly called “Woman of the Year.”
Also, bud, take a look at yourself in the mirror. “Man baby”? Seems to me I see a guy struggling to look 18 when he’s far beyond that.
I didn’t know who Joe Rogan was over a year ago. I finally listened to some podcasts but they were the ones he did on the subject of Covid AFTER he saw the light.
Since then, I have listened to parts of a couple and I an safely say, “I really don’t get the appeal.” He’s not bright at all.
Perverted Geraldo has been damaged goods for many, many years. He should have been put out to pasture 30 years ago.
“Trump is damaged goods–”
That line is not only propaganda meant to negatively influence popular opinion but the media and people like Geraldo are directly responsible for dirtying up Trump, his name, and his reputation. What they all don’t get is we LIKE Donald Trump and we WILL VOTE for him again. As for DeSantis, it’s not his time, yet.
Yes, they have a whole bunch of lines meant to negatively influence popular opinion.
They want DeSantis out of Florida so they can return it into a corrupt dem voting machine.
They tried this crap in 2016. Having such folks criticize PT it only HELPS President Tump . But their egos are so enormous , they can’t see that. It’s hilarious they go on about his ego! 😂
Well said.
Joe Rogan is a pu$$y. Anytime that threatened his 30mil grifting he went to fetal position
How many millions did Netflix give you today?
…by you and your boyfriends. And What’s-her-face.
This is so on point and it’s not just the UK.
It’s all fake.
Watching the rats tear each other apart to win power knowing they’ll all be buddies again once the race is done is sickening.
The power held by UK political party members is no longer defensible

If the FBI Is Broken, How Do We Fix It?
https://townhall.com/columnists/johnnantz/2022/03/29/if-the-fbi-is-broken-how-do-we-fix-it-n2605115
Very good questions.
Why do we need to fix it? I say get rid of it and never replace it.
Yep. Throw it in the trash heap.
Didn’t have the DOJ until 1870. Didn’t have the FBI until 1908. (Both according to them.)
We don’t need the crap they have turned themselves into. Nor do we need the other intelligence agencies. How dare they abuse us.
Throw them all in the trash heap of history.
Often, little bits of news patched together can offer clarity on other things. Think about the myriad ways they falsified covid stats to trick policy makers. There is a video circulating of some Ukranian soldiers getting systematically destroyed by Russian artillery, with no shelter or weapons. On paper, they have been equipped with everything. But it’s not real. Now look at green energy Germany. I’ve seen statistics for years about how much of their electricity is coming from wind and solar. I’m sure policy makers have seen the same statistics. How falsified do you think they are? I think they’re learning the truth right now. How falsified or any statistics you see here about wind and solar? Somebody needs to dig into that a little bit. Falsify the inputs, and decision-makers are going to make terrible decisions.
Concerning the man-made water crisis in the West….
Most of southern California, most of Arizona, most of Nevada, and other nearby areas are all parts of a desert!
One of the stupidest aspects of American “kulcher” in the last 100 years has been the mania for avoiding winter, building large cities in desert areas, and expecting the water supply in those cities NOT to be a problem!
As Chief Dan George might have said: “Only the white man would put a million people in the desert and wonder why water will be a problem.”
Global Dimming – Dane Wiggington @ geoengineeringwatch.org
Worth the time to watch.
Decades of extreme immigration, legal and illegal, are at the root of the problem. Over 97% of CA’s rapid pop growth in the not so distant past was due to immigrants/refugees/illegals and their children born here. Before the recent outflows to red states, the pop growth there was roughly the same as India and it had about the same pop density as mainland China.
Saw earlier today, Pence (SPIT, SPIT, SPIT) is giving lots of talks with the Heritage Foundation.
https://www.heritage.org/search?contains=Pence
Hope some MAGA folks picket the outside with nice big posters about his betrayals of our Constitution, President Trump, the American Election System and the American Citizen Voter.
In addition, Scarf Lady Deborah Birx, in her book that’s just come out, is saying Pence encouraged the White House Pandemic task force to go around President Trump’s back and implement policies that were not approved by Trump.
Pence is also supporting the establishment candidate, Robson, who is the opponent of Trump’s candidate Kari Lake in AZ.
And they are having rallies the same night! Ought to be fun to compare crowd sizes.
There you go! THAT should be revealing.
TEN THINGS EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT THE WHO’S PROPOSED “PANDEMIC TREATY”
