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…

I am to the far right of Attila the Hun, I am to the right of your weird brother-in-law, and yet I keep winding up on moderation on this web site.
If you don’t own a gun or two, you are surely a commie.
If you have ever voted for a Democrat, my god, you are suspicious!
Abortion is murder, and the sky is blue.
The world will end if Donald Trump is not elected the American President in 2024.
Therefore, I must be returned to endless purgatory.
Whatever awaits America, it is surely not pacific politics in the next few years.
But the most glorious political system that has ever existed, that could ever exist is the American system of liberal democracy. The leftist clowns and fools who claim to be striving for a better world? We have it here and now.
Speak your peace. Then await the reaction that rightfully awaits you.
If you follow the posting guidelines of CTH it shouldn’t be a problem.
Yes, they are up there at the top of the page. Well worth taking time to review them. Especially if posts get put in moderation, or worse, just disappear without moderation.
For a while all my posts were going into moderation for no reason. It’s fixed now, whatever it was.
It happens to us all.
Bull!
Try posting anything less than complementary about a certain candidate for office that is being promoted here and watch how fast your post will disappear.
OK…sheesh.
I’ve been on here for years. Years.
I’ve been in moderation once, I don’t know why, and really it’s cool it is not my site.
Don’t swear, pretend you’re respectful and try again. Or don’t, go elsewhere.
Enough whining for my quiet coffee time.
strange that all of your posts are posting just fine.
If you have 3 or more internet sites posted that will often get you into moderation.
As long as your language is clean, opposing views do NOT get blocked.
Never really had a problem with moderation here except when I had links to some websites. Other than that, not a problem.
Too many links in one post will always get “awaiting moderation.” That’s why I specifically avoid that.

Could be a type-o in name or email. If so, it can take a bit to correct.
Trump at one time was a democrat.
Kari Lake was a democrat in 2008 and voted for Obama. Registered back as a republican in 2012.
Some of the people we love were once democrats. I am sure you are talking about RD. This site has made me aware that he is taking money from people that will own him if he were ever to run for President. Trump doesn’t need these evil people’s money.
Lastly, this is a great site, but no site is perfect. Grace is awesome!
Exactly, and this is the weird part, the Democrats will carry this country back if it ever goes back to conservative. They know how to fight and will fight for their beliefs.
Republicans, something missing there. And maybe that attracts people to the democrat party, the willingness to fight, because these spineless republicans are pathetic.
We are championing Trump who was a democrat and fights harder than any republican, then throw in Reagan, who was a democrat.
We have a republican MMA fighter from claremore ok in congress who does nothing, you would figure he would fight. He votes by percentages not beliefs. If the percent of what he wants is acceptable he votes for it.
Compromise got us here in this pit.
Ron Johnson saying “we want to bring back peace”, heck no, we want victory. We are taking the high ground to vanquish this satanic group and they want peace???
McConnell and McCarthy say no impeachment??? You have the means to turn this country around for good and you throw down your weapons??? What is that, please someone explain.
Trump and Reagan were the only presidents I didn’t hold my nose and vote for, both Democrats who flipped.
Notice the fundamental difference between the Dem party, and the Rep party?
Allegedly, the Dem party has been “taken over” by the most extreme elements of its base.
While the Rep party leadership is aggressively resisting, refusing to accede to any demands of ITS “”extreme elements” of its base?
I say “allegedly” because its hard to find any evidence of the Dem party leadership reluctance to embrace its parties extremists.
Were they resisting when they knelt in the Capital, to show solidarity with BLM?
Meanwhile, we have the Rep party leadership, conspiring with the Dem party, Big tech, MSM, and I/C to suppress, intimidate, persecute and prosecute MAGA, and throw electiond to Dems, if “thats what it takes” to keep MAGA candidates out of office.
The false narratives that maintain the illusion of a two-party system;
The Dem party has been “hi-jacked” by the extremists and the leadership “goes along” because the leadership fears the extremists in their base.
WRONG; Nanci, Chuck etc. have ALWAYS been Conmunists, and in the days of “your Dads Democrat party” they were LIEING when they said they favored a border wall, and abortion that was “safe, available and rare”.
“The Republican leadership are Stupid, lazy, cowardly or “fight by Marquis of queensbury rules, while the Dems streetfight” and thats why they are so ineffective at fighting the leftward lurch.”
WRONG; The Republican leadership are ALSO Conmunists, always have been, and have played a key role in furthering the leftist march of our country.
RINO=Republican In Name Only=Democrat.
Democrat =Conmunist
So, RINO=Conmunist
Sometimes, it really IS “that simple”.
“Simple” for a Democrat who wants to discourage Republican voters. “Simple” for a Democrat who wants to see the Democrats win a super majority in this next election … a situation that we will never, at this time and place in history, ever be able to come back from.
Disgusting as some are, the RINOs saved President Trump and you equate them with Democrats??? It was right there for the taking … President Trump’s head was on the chopping block.
1st Impeachment, 1st Article EVERY SINGLE DEMOCRAT, who you equate with RINOs, voted “Guilty” ALL 50 Democrat Senators voted for President Trump’s impeachment!
49 Republican Senators voted “Not Guilty”!
I’ve heard all different numbers of how many Republican Senators are RINOs. One number that sticks out is “37”?
So, to you, the 50 Democrat Senators are = to the RINOs who voted to save President Trump.
President Trump would have been GONE for good if the people you equate to Communists had simply voted “Guilty” … yet they did not.
And here you are, every single day, doing your utmost to discourage Republican voters from maybe choosing the best they have available to them because of your totally misconstrued value system of “purity”.
I KNOW what MAGA is. I KNOW what a RINO is. I KNOW what a Democrat is. I know what you are doing.
We need for the Republicans in the House to put up Trump for Speaker…..This will ensure the issues are tackled. Impeach both P and VP and Put Trump back in the WH.
Jen I see that more clearly now than ever, you don’t get 200 million for a governor race from people you do not represent and owe nothing in return. On the other hand if you are elected and they (take your pick) do not control you they will try to destroy you. Many of the big donors to these politicians do not have Main Street prosperity in their plans
Ronald Reagan was once a Democrat.
Have you tried asking the mods through a direct email for an explanation? perhaps it is a simple ‘operator’ error on your end that is easily overlooked? Obviously your post is getting through, we see it.
I dont think of this site as far right. I think we are more about “do the right thing” and equal application of the law
“Right”, “left” are the wrong axis
honest vs dishonest
decentralized vs central topdown control
individual vs collective
fiduciary vs corrupt greed
moral vs amoral
straightforwardness vs trickery
unbribeable vs bribeable
equal protection of the law vs persecution under color of law
freespeech vs censorship
Constitutional vs. unConstitutional.
Legal vs. illegal.
American vs. invader.
Citizen vs. “consumer.”
Globalist vs. Main Street.
thanks !
You might try having a conversation with the mods instead of griping about being moderated.

Atilla the Hun would have been left wing totalitarian.
We inherited a republic, a type of democracy that is far better than a generic democracy that can lend itself to mob rule.
The key difference between a democracy and a republic lies in the limits placed on government by the law, which has implications for minority rights. Both forms of government tend to use a representational system — i.e., citizens vote to elect politicians to represent their interests and form the government. In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters. In a “pure democracy,” the majority is not restrained in this way and can impose its will on the minority.
Most modern nations—including the United States—are democratic republicswith a constitution, which can be amended by a popularly elected government. This comparison therefore contrasts the form of government in most countries today with a theoretical construct of a “pure democracy”, mainly to highlight the features of a republic.

Maybe your ticked off comment isn’t really typical of your supposed moderated comments. For myself, your ticked off comment sounds like what an uninformed solid blue Democrat IMAGINES is the norm here?
“I can start a website for three dollas.”
Adjusted for bidenflation, that will cost you triple.
Mea culpa.
The irony is that democrats may actually be offended at that.

He was just on air literally crying that he misled people about investing in META.

Classical application of the “Hockey Stick” algorithm to drive the distribution of vote totals.
Reduce Balsonaro’s margin of victory where he obviously won and was projected to carry.
Expand the his margin of loss in major population centers and area where he was projected to loose.
The first round of voting was used to help adjust the digital results.
Yet, even using that approach created a highly “questionable” outcome as his margin of vistory and even loss in some areas drove the “suspicious” 60-40 loss ration in the single region Balsonaro lost.
Too bad its all digital and easily supported by digitally generated evidence.

“The Shot Heard Round the World”
My worst fears stated in this piece. Gut tells me arresting DJT is their only play really.
Blatant widespread election theft would seem to be another “play.” Be prepared. We are now at election day minus 6. “The long sobs of the violins . . . wound my heart with a monotonous languor.”
The Dems playbook is like a football coach’s – if what you’re doing works, keep doing it ‘til somebody stops you.
Predicting the future is a risky business, but what the hell.
DJT or no DJT, our rights are endowed by our creator and there’s not a damn thing they can do to change that. . . . . . they can stifle our ability to enjoy those rights, but – as a an enlightened people – they can (and will) NEVER take them away from us.

I watched the YT someone posted last week.
I didn’t find his blog.
Happy to have it now.
FTA “What they need to do is stop these elections at all costs while trying to preserve their own empires.
How do they do this without losing it all while maintaining their end goal – simple – you Trump before the election. Thus killing two birds with one stone. One, you take out the threat directly which removes him from the future election all together. Two, you cause enough unrest and in doing so you can declare the Insurrection Act pause the election….. So back to Trump and the potential arrest. I pray I am wrong; but if I am correct, we are about to witness the shot heard round the world.”
Bold is mine. I pray Monkey is wrong as well but desperate people will do desperate things. With charging President Trump in DC, 99% Democrat/swamp, they know a conviction is easy. God help us! Hosanna!
Don’t forget the DC Circuit Court and the Appeals Court is run by obama and his Judges stacked by Harry Reid for just such an occasion!

Amnesty? Absolutely NOT *
Karl Denninger
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=247330
I read this yesterday and saved it to my permanent file of “C0v1d” articles, which I started back in March 2020 with the Diamond Princess article by Dr. John Ioannidis…could have never imagined then where we would be almost three years later!
While the pleas for “amnesty” are spewing from the mouths of “shamdemic” purveyors…they continue repression, legal action, decertifying and assaults on the very same medical professionals who PROVED they were wrong and who proved they were killing people with their scientifically bankrupt policies for the sake of power.
The call for amnesty is a lie, a fake plea and diversion.
In the St. Louis area they still require masks at every medical related office. Knowing how utterly useless they are – and potentially harmful – makes it increasingly maddening to comply.
30 miles north of downtown Seattle: not only are masks required, but one has to wear a “clean new” one provided by the medical facilities — you can’t wear your own. Also, boosters are being pushed at primary care visits. Maybe they’re just trying to use up the stock before it expires. Or the cat is completely out of the bag.
Rural WNY also.
They would not be talking about amnesty if they did not believe some atrocity had been committed.
Watching the Gutfield show last night and Sen. Tom Cotton was one of the guests. The topic of this “forgiveness” came up, and to paraphrase a part of his comments:
“They are not done with the mandates, masks, testing, etc. It will return after the midterms”.
Thinking a Senator might have the inside scoop, and if so, the return of our medical freedoms has simply been a ruse allowed till after the vote.
Scumbags in action
Khan is an arrogant a**. He thinks he should only listen to those who push his agenda. The rest of us are hopeless kooks in his estimation. Blah. London elected a real winner there.
Yep, … and it was democrat NY City mayor DeBlasio in 2016 who invited this kook to NY City to have hm spew…”West needs to get used to terror occurring in it’s streets”.
My biggest issue right now, is that the wrongs inflicted on Americans under the guise of an emergency due to head cold be righted, and steps be taken to prevent this from ever happening again.
One of the most important steps is to repeal or revise any laws concerning “emergency powers”, as our elected officials all abused this imaginary power.
Another step is, not to amend our Constitution, but to punish those in elective office who go outside of the duties of their office and violate our rights.
Then there is the steady march to force us not to use cash.
It seems that everyone can see this coming except Congress.
How about encroaching famine and deliberate starvation? They aren’t campaigning against that either.
Freezing in our homes? Meh.
Con-gress is in on it. The majority of them would be just happy if we are all broke, starving and in chains. They got theirs.

Pennsylvania Supreme Court Orders Undated, Wrongly Dated Ballots To Not Be Counted
NOV 02, 2022
https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/pennsylvania-supreme-court-orders-undated-wrongly-dated-ballots-not-be-counted
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered counties to not count any ballots that are in undated or incorrectly dated envelopes in the upcoming Nov. 8 elections, siding with national and state Republican groups in a lawsuit filed just over two weeks ago.
Hopefully the PA Counties comply. The counties centered on major cities in PA are democrat controlled and have defied the courts and PA Legislature in the past.
In NY, the NY Courts just sided with the democrats, not for legal reasons, but because the court clerks delayed the hearing long enough for the NY Courts to declare the suit arrived too late.
NH GOP Senate Candidate Don Bolduc………..JUST TORPEDOED HIS ELECTION BID !
Surging in polls, within margin of error. This morning on AFN he acknowledged he flip flopped on the Election Steal issue. He now beleives the election in 2020 was NOT stolen !
He isn’t MAGA. He lied in the primaries to garner MAGA support. Now he gives the middle finger to we MAGA voters !
Another Mitch McConnel RHINO………….
FU Boldoc !!!
KUDOS to Ed Henry at RAV News who put the question directly to Bolduc !
Ed Henry should ask him to swear that there is no massive, historical vote fraud in chicago, detroit, milwaukee, philly, st. louis, atlanta, phoenix, miami, california, colorado, new jersey, or new york.
If he can swear to this without embarrassment, we know he is a sociopath.
It was a cringey few minutes.
Don’t vote for him then. I’m sure your call to arms will be highly influential. Bolduc is a hero and patriot and has worked his tail off in that election. You can create a political party with your purity test candidates that don’t exist.
“Expat”…short for Ex patriot.
Definition: Someone who renounces citizenship in their homeland. Or, to abandon one’s native land.
I don’t tell others how to vote. And no need to create my own party. It’s MAGA. You aren’t MAGA if you think the 2020 election was fair and honest.
Can I still be MAGA if I vote for Bolduc? Why should the Democrat win because Bolduc is a RINO?
Yes, here in KS we have a “super maga” independent running against our republican candidate that is probably going to split the vote enough to re-elect democrat Kelly. This independent is spending huge amounts of money attacking the republican (probably democrat money), and is polling at 6 or 7 percent. No chance of winning, but big chance of siphoning off enough republican votes to elect the dem.
The purists really can’t see they are being played?
I believe there are “purists” here at The Treehouse who are actually paid to discourage Republican voters to ensure Democrat victories.
Interesting how often a litmus test is conflated with a “purity test”.
“Another Mitch McConnell RHINO………….”
SO WHAT?
Rhinos have better voting records than Democrats and that is a fact..
You only have 2 choices, R or D.
…
GOP Senate Candidate Don Bolduc is running against Democratic US Sen. Maggie Hassan
…
“In the evenly-divided Senate, Hassan’s vote proved be to critical for the passage of a number of major Democratic-led legislative items,
including the American Rescue Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act,
which both passed through the reconciliation process without any Republican support.”
No, you don’t have 2 choices – its uniparty regardless of what capitalized letter appears after their name. Bolduc is weak and will be lead around by the nose by McConnell or Thune. Who signed-off on his star again?
Maggie Hassan NEEDS to be voted out. I hope Bolduc wins that race.
Trump just endorsed him..
Trump first endorsed Boldoc in the primaries; when Boldoc was wooing MAGA votes about how the election was stolen in 2020.
He claims he has “learned” more since being an “election denier”……what MAGA person digs into the 2020 election and walks away confident the election was Honest and Fair?
Our side doesn’t win elections by walking away from MAGA. Keri Lake knows it. As does JD in OH and Oz in PA……………
It’s also code that McConnell will not provide funding to those who will not kneel to falsehoods and treason.
Exactly….
Do you know if he denied election fraud before or after he got the endorsement?
What I do know is during the Primary Don Bolduc strongly stated he believed there was election fraud in 2020 but within a couple of weeks of wining the Primary he changed to denying fraud. This was literally within a couple weeks of his primary win -too lazy to look up a link, but easily findable.
Anyone who flips on a dime to garner votes, has no strong center. On the other hand, he is hugely better than the alternative.
On a big positive note, I believe he said he would not vote for McConnell as leader which I suspect is the main reason McConnell pulled funding.
All compromised or soon to be compromised… I would love to say “unbelievable” but we’ve seen ALL types already.
Hold on one DAMN SECOND…
Are you saying this guy flippity-flopped AGAIN?!?
First he was all “2020 was stolen!”… then after the primary he flippity-flopped for The General, saying “Biden won”… then he got called out, so he floppity-flipped back to “2020 was stolen!”… then he got Trump’s endorsement a few days ago… and you’re saying NOW he’s flippity-floppity-flip-flopped back to “Biden won”?!?!?!?
Am I reading this right?
It appears the 2022 elections are headed towards the repeat of the 2018-2020 Strategy with the added nasty twist of a DoJ (Civil Rights Division) supporting the attempted flip from Red to Blue decisions to legitimize it, instead of sitting in the wings playing the AG Billie Barr 3-monkey’s game.
This cynic remembers the RED wave crap in 2018 and poison pill deal of 2020. We will not see the color of the wave until 3 January 2023 when the next session of congress is seated.
Or, he may be trying to win over weak Dems and independents in a blue state????
Agree it probably is an effort to pull in some dems and independents —don’t think it will work though — think he’s wrong about that strategy. Being feeble and wishy washy is no longer acceptable in recent politics …He would have been better in my opinion to have modeled Kari Lake’s response to the election denier questions.
That said, Bolduc is unquestionably better than the opposition. (and he’ll vote against McConnell when the next GOP Senate leader is selected).
We need the Senate to protect the judiciary, not just the Supreme Court should an appoinment come up in the next couple years but to protect the nomination of federal court judges from further infection with woke activist judges. If we lose the court system to majority leftist judges, where is left to take our grievances going forward? Hope NH pulls the lever for Bolduc.

US Will No Longer “Waste Its Time” On Iran Nuclear Deal Talks
NOV 01, 2022
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/us-declares-will-no-longer-waste-its-time-iran-nuclear-deal-talks
On Monday, President Biden’s special envoy for Iran, Robert Malley, said the US isn’t going to “waste its time” on talks with Tehran to revive the nuclear deal and would use a military option as a “last resort” against Iran.
Negotiations between the US and Iran on the nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA, have been stalled since early September. The Biden administration hasn’t officially said it’s done with the talks, but Malley’s comments are the surest sign that diplomacy between Washington and Tehran is dead.
Just like today’s Western “Progressives”, the Theocratic Islamic Supremacist clowns who run Iran are doctrinaire ideologues and will NEVER negotiate in good faith because – despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary – believe they are infallible . . . . . an irony completely lost on the of the Biden Regime ‘negotiators’.
Starting to think there is a whole sub-story going on in Iran and not related to Nuclear Energy or Weapons. CIA has a history there. I wonder if Obamas planeload of unmarked bills wasnt banked in Iran for the CIA and election fraud
Can you imagine PDJT chartering a commercial jet full of currency to secretly send to Iran?
What part of 10% for the big guy didn’t they understand?
I’m sure that a new GOPe congresscritter majority will demand all CIA/FBI/NSA records and testimony relating to:

Chicago has exteremly strict gun laws as does Illinois, but they claim the guns are coming from elsewhere.
Strangely, though, those “elsewheres” don’t have Chicago’s gun violence problem indicating that the true problem is not the guns, but is something about Chicago.
Up To 14 Injured In Chicago Mass Shooting, Youngest Victim Just 3 Years Old

“It began and then was over by three seconds, with the car pulling out after driving by, shooting randomly into the crowd.”
Chiraq is a Sinaloa Cartel Distribution Hub for the Midwest. The Gangstas battle over turf to sell Mexican hard dope to the throngs of mostly White Suburbanite junkies who got hooked on prescription opioids and moved onto heroin then fentanyl. Most of the junkies also use crack cocaine and/or meth to balance out the sedative effects of their opioid/opiate of choice. Stop the Dope and the American of African heritage foot soldiers have little to fight over.
the cartels will soon have all their footsoldiers immediately released if they happen to be caught caught by the police.
I wonder how much this new ‘law’ cost the cartels. Maybe not very much, because illinois politicians are “surprisingly affordable”. A while back, Illinois votes in the state legislature were priced at ‘only’ $25 to $50 according to a federal corruption case, IIRC.
Isn’t this the logical result of every “sanctuary” city? They invite invaders, provide funds for them, and are surprised to end up being run by the cartels?
Must be a LOT of money at play.
Billions at stake.

Morning update:
It Is Two Feet on the Accelerator.
The US confirmed there are US boots on the ground in Ukraine. For “weapons systems inspections. ” Remember when US troops were initially sent into Vietnam as “military advisers?” Same same.
I wonder what would happen if Russia confirmed it had troops in Mexico as weapons inspectors, and also announced it was moving nuclear capable weapons to Venezuela?
The regime people are not idiots, by the way, just evil. They know exactly what they are doing.
IceAge Farmer on Telegram: The UK announced that all domestic flocks of birds, even a few backyard chickens, must be moved inside. Also, Iowa just culled another million chickens. I tried to copy a link but couldn’t. Apologies.
Both actions were taken in response to “bird flu” – which one has to suspect is about as real as SARS-CoV2. PCR test, crank up the false positives.
Henry Kissinger: Allow me to control the food supply and I can control nations.
Just so.
From the little I know of poultry operations in the US, 99 percent of it is reliant on chicks industrially produced and shipped in the mail or through outlets like Tractor Supply. In short, chicken production is easily cut off.
A resilient farmer with foresight would be sure to have a rooster or two about now, and to be breeding more for barter come next spring, methinks. We can’t become ungovernable or stay independent very long if we or our neighbors are starving. I would buy that rooster using cash, too, btw.
Speaking of which, Deutschebank wants its customers to stop using cash now, and stop making cash withdrawals. CBDC on its way. Well, either that or a massive bank run on DB very shortly. Shades of Lebanon?
Actually, the “bird flu” story might not be false. Fowl are often raised in very foul conditions in which disease can spread very rapidly, and they are very susceptible to disease anyway. (Which is one of the reasons why I don’t eat [much] chicken.)
My grandfather raised a few chickens to help feed six kids, and my dad tells the story of when the entire flock died of some disease within about a week. It of course had a very big impact on the family although they did not starve. Commercial operations have to buy insurance against that possibility.
Bird poop in their drinking water causes much disease.
I come across a lot of negative articles about Elon Musk. I hesitate to post them, not because people here can’t decide for themselves wither to give credence to them or not, but because after it was announced that he would go ahead with the Twitter acquisition these articles ramped up sharply, and we were expecting to see all kinds of bashing of someone who had heretofore pretty much stayed under the radar.
Remember when the man they considered a big joke beat a field of 17 to become the nominee of the Republican Party? The negative press against him was astounding, and most of it wasn’t accurate, and some of it was just totally made up.
In a way I’d feel like I would just be contributing more to the confusion.
If you have a thing to say here, Clarion, please never feel that you ought not say it. We would like to hear your opinion. “This is not Twitter.” 🤡 Prepare your post carefully with all the proper hyperlinks and what you think about them. Then, post away.

“This phrase: “The Truth Has No Agenda” has been at the center of The Conservative Treehouse mission priority from the beginning.” – Sundance
Clarion post away! No blog does a better job of sorting through “confusion” to get to the “truth” than Sundance/CTH and the Treepers!!
I think at this point, we just have to “wait and see” on Musk, there are equally valid arguments on both sides of musk as white hat/black hat, and the truth “will out”.
Mt. 11:29 “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.” As a Christian being yoked to Christ avoids falling into the ditch.
Musk with his purchase of Twitter is now yoked to the IC which may take him where he’s never been before? But you’re right we’ll just have to “wait and see” how Musk handles the IC or gets handled? Bluesky maybe the IC’s future, it’s up and running but doesn’t have the reach and volume of users that Twitter has yet!
Musk is an enigma in some ways. I have maintained a skeptical eye towards him, mainly due his using our tax dollars to enrich himself. On the other hand, he has been an iconoclast in the field of technical innovations and making them work and be profitable.
Some of the negative articles may well be an effort to take him down a peg or two. As others here have posted, just make a clear comment, post the link and let the article stand or fall on the merit of the author’s words and evidence.
Yesterday someone posted a graphic of Starlink, Musk’s satellite system enveloping the world like a big spider web.
Another commenter here later posted the tweet containing a photo of Musk dressed as Baphomet, standing with his mother.
The photo, the costume, it was emphatically satanic. I might not have thought too much about it if I hadn’t just seen the graphic of the earth encircling web; now I can’t shake the eeriness of the two together.
He must be over the target.
Last night after the World Series became no contest I flipped over to check out Laura Ingraham-she was doing her monologue about the disastrous Covid shutdowns promoted by Fauc, Birx and others.
She showed a video of Fauci speaking at one of the many press conferences they had a the beginning of this mess. President Trump was looking on as well as Birx and Pence. Fauci was encouraging young people to self isolate. Don’t go to clubs, bars, events with groups stay isolated. What got my attention was Pence shaking his head up and down in approval.
I often wonder since Pence was the head of the Covid Task Force what role did he play. Was he the driver of assembling the team to advise President Trump as well as the lock down strategy.
I suspect that since Birx has come out recently saying she knew some of this stuff wouldn’t work and Fauci had to know as well the Task Force was another set up to hurt Trump in the 2020 election. Now Pence is out there, sleaze bag that he is, trying to position himself as a presidential contender in 2024.
Pence’s job was as Pres. Trump’s Deep State-handler, to ensure the Virus/Vaxx Attack was successful, to wreck the economy and lose his own reelection.
As Bush was to Reagan, Pence was to Trump.
We SEE, from the outside the backstabbing Pence engaged in, with Flynn and Covid.
Pence was there, every day, like “Wormtoungue” whispering in PDJT’s ear, undermining him.
Pence’s staffer Olivia Troye said her job was to keep the president in the dark. She said that.
Read Dr. Scott Atlas’ book “A Plague Upon Our House” and you will learn all about the role that Pence, Birx, and Jared Kushner played in the Scamdemic!
Kushner can’t read, evidently, because when I first started hearing about ventilators, and having seen that clip of a few moments of one day in one hospital in Italy presented as “proof”, I started researching ventilators, and it took me under 15 minutes to confirm my original belief that ventilators weren’t treatment for any disease at all, let alone this virus.
They kept telling us it was a special special virus that didn’t behave as any other virus ever, but that was with no evidence whatsoever.
Jared is an incompetent lunkhead with unfounded belief in his own intellectual superiority.
My husband spent 30+ years as a firefighter/EMT and he said in the very beginning that the symptoms that people were presenting sounded more like the type of oxygen deprivation that you see with CO poisoning. He said they would NEVER “vent” anyone in that situation because their lungs wouldn’t be able to take it! It turns out that he was exactly right!
(Ironically, I had “something” in early December 2019, like many other people, before C0vid was a thing and when I went in for routine bloodwork in January, I had an abnormally low reading of my RDW, which is the measure of how well my red blood cells were “moving” oxygen. It resolved a few months later but if I had been hospitalized and put on a vent, I suspect I might now be here right now!)
No one has asked Pence why he had so many Deep State America haters on his staff, and why he chose them for a task force allegedly about a virus, and why he didn’t see too it that someone on that task force did the reading that would have told them that the vaxx was not a vaccine, that ventilators are not treatment for a virus, that masks don’t work, and that the “response” plan was coming straight from Communist China, among other things.
It took me literally two seconds to be horrified that Dr. Fauci was on that task force. Someone’s random comment that this was the same Anthony Fauci of AIDS fame. I hadn’t recognized the name, as it had been quite some time.
It was obvious no one on the Trump team had done any sort of due diligence.
Given all the glaring oversights, I can only conclude that this was screwed up royally on purpose.
An issue with tweets, sometimes the tweet is the sole source for a brewing story and posting the tweet says it all succinctly, but the tweet contains an obscenity.
You see my problem.
No we’re all adults just give a language warning! I believe most Treepers aren’t easily offended by crude/strong language! In fact some of us get so upset sometimes strong language in used in posts! My favorite is bullsh!t!
The Democrats have chosen to lose this election in order to move their long term agenda forward including turning America into a third world country through illegal immigration and destruction of the fossil fuels industry. That strategy works for them as it did when they passed Obama Care. If the GOP refuses to play the same scorched earth hardball the Democrats do when they have a chance, what was the point of electing them other than to just slow down the destruction?
“Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty”—Not
Let’s not declare a pandemic amnesty. Let’s declare a real pandemic inquiry.

https://michaelpsenger.substack.com/p/lets-declare-a-pandemic-amnestynot
I’ll admit, I nearly spit out my coffee when I saw Brown Professor Emily Oster’s new headline in The Atlantic this morning. It’s the headline we’ve been waiting to see—and, in the revisionist, gaslighting style that’s become the journalistic norm on the response to Covid—it’s about the closest thing to an outright admission of guilt that we’ve seen since Covid began.
…“amnesty,” being an act of forgiveness for past offenses, first requires an apology or act of repentance on the part of those who committed the offense. Not only has no such act of repentance been forthcoming, but in most cases, establishment voices like Oster’s have yet to stop advocating these same policies, much less admit they were wrong. With no accompanying act of contrition, these calls for “amnesty” in light of rapidly-shifting public opinion have a real ring of fascist leaders calling for “amnesty” after losing the War.
She claims she didn’t know. When her own magazine was bashing Alex Berenson, didn’t a PROFESSOR have the slightest bit of curiosity as to why?
Anyone looking at Alex’s work would have had do acknowledge the quality of it, and the pains he took to get it right.
So, she claimed she didn’t know, I claim she didn’t want to know, because the information needed was right there, staring he in the face. Unless she doesn’t read the Atlantic herself?
It’s a BS “trial balloon” of sorts to gauge the ‘mood’ of the public to see if ‘now is the time’ to be friends again, and judging by the ultra-sharp pitchforks that have been popping this trial-balloon relentlessly and to death, my guess is that the author and her puppet-masters will silently slither away hopefully to be never heard from again!
FJB!!
I’ve made a NATO think tank angry because I reminded people what Biden himself said.
Which they claim caused French, Germany, Russian and Chinese politicians to conclude that the US was responsible for Nordstream 2 sabotage.
Funny.
In fairness, they were shocked that Nuland and Biden kept their word.
More than likely angry because he once again opened his mouth and spoke the truth before it happened.
Another one of his dementia moments that his handlers decided to leave be, lest they draw more attention to what he said.
Bush mistook Ukraine for Iraq too.
Trump once did too though in his case it may have been deliberate.
Intriguing.
Inflation is a worldwide problem wherever we shun the use of our natural energy resources in favor of chasing leftist fantasies on unworkable ‘alternate’ energy schemes.
There, fixed it for ya Joe!

President Trump re-Truth.
They want #CovidAmnesty
From this laymans understanding…………amnesty is acceptance of prima facia evidence of the crime by both parties along with simultaneous exoneration of that crime.
The covid criminals are requesting amnesty but we are not offering it, the crimes are too serious.
The call for amnesty is a lie and diversion. Not a single legal action to support mandates nor attack the scientists who exposed the shamdemic has stopped.
I agree, docoo, but I’m concerned about the ‘social amnesty’ aspect of it, suggesting we should just forgive and forget the people who relished their sense of power and superiority over us.
Sadly you are right…they rely heavily on la la landers being unable and unwilling to connect the dots as well as being “forgiving Christians” at heart.
How could one be on a “suicide mission” and also have plans for further attacks?

On the BS recent GDP growth. Cued to the beginning of that:
Quick answer – they always use inflation as a proper “deflator” which is subtracted from GDP growth.
Somehow, they only used a deflator of 4%, less than half of reality, which then produced GDP “growth”…

Biden to speak on threats to democracy ahead of midterms

Maybe he will give us a clue on the 2022 .dem cheat strategy as in 2020.
There are still way too many people living in secluded la la land that could not connect the dots even with a “dotted line” drawn between the dots for them to trace. This is the fact democrats are relying upon for 2022 as BS Look Good Headlines are streamed to the public in advance of 8 November (+6 to 14 Days for all the “late voters”).
It appears the elections are headed towards the repeat of the 2018-2020 Strategy with the added nasty twist of a DoJ (Civil Rights Division) supporting the attempted flip from Red to Blue decisions to legitimize it, instead of sitting in the wings playing the AG Billie Barr 3-monkey’s game.
This cynic remembers the RED wave crap in 2018 and poison pill deal of 2020. We will not see the color of the wave until 3 January 2023 when the next session of congress is seated.
If the fed raises rates today it is not to combat inflation but to further debase the U.S. dollar. There is no mainstream economic rational to raise the fed funds rate. The only rational i can see is to support the city of London Derivatives markets with overnight lending to hedge funds.
Hedge Funds are unregulated Mutual Funds type investments for Ultra High Net worth investors and institutions. A hypothetical example might be Nomura Bank selling the Vatican $100 million bet that Hertz Corporation bonds may be downgraded and thus their price will fall over a certain period of time.
The derivatives markets are based in City of London and represent an estimated Quadrillion U.S. dollars in total market size. Our iconic New York Stock Exchange is approximately $44 trillion in total size
Here is an older but excellent article on how the fed has strayed outside its lanes
https://wallstreetonparade.com/2019/10/new-york-feds-repo-loans-are-foaming-the-hedge-fund-runways/
Of course this entire form of so-called “investing” is nothing more than gambling, and quasi-national institutions such as “the Fed” are the casino. None of the “wealth” that any of them are playing with actually exists, but to them this is not the point. There is nothing real-world meaningful about “a quadrillion dollars” – none whatsoever – but if you are a compulsive gambler you can become thoroughly addicted to it.
Never forget the fairy-tale of “Rumpelstiltskin,” who spun straw into “gold.” Nor the immortal and very well considered double-book (now in the public domain and freely available online): “Extraordinary Popular Delusions and The Madness Of Crowds.” Nothing has changed.
Likewise, basically, “44 trillion dollars.” Companies issue and sell shares of their capital stock in order to finance their operations, but never that much. Most of this “money” is illusionary. It’s just “more gambling.”
When this author refers to “foaming the runways,” he means it. These gamblers are gambling against what they will do next, yet they are actually just betting against the house. And, they have all made a career of it.
Long term investing in a company you know well and put money into over a long period is legit. Municipal bonds is where I worked for years and that was also above board. But short term transactional investments rarely work and by nature derivatives (futures and options) are short term.
They are also highly leveraged
This is NOT investment advice.
I’m open to correction, but in all my (short 38 years) life I’ve never seen an explanation that raising rates further debases a currency. I could see how it’s a prelude to future debasement (problem, reaction, “solution”). I will admit my finance degree is from a state university and my series 7 and 66 licenses the result of FINRA so it’s possible the “state” has misled me, but I fail to see how removing money from circulation (and therefore velocity decreases) in and of itself creates inflation in monetary terms
Debasement is an intrinsic change in the value of currency due to long term inflation. You arent removing fiat from the system you are lowering the intrinsic value by increasing the downward direction. Increasing the downward direction in a permanent way because more money has to be created to service the debt and continue to maintain the system. The point where everyone knows it isnt coming back. In junk bonds they call it a death spiral
In reality the dollar will rise because institutions want to earn 4% Fed Funds and loan out to others at 3% We have a $ 32T national debt that almost certainly will never be repaid . Monetary system can continue with leverage and Petro/Euro dollars. Perhaps a war or two, but the U.S. dollar will not ever be the same regardless of institutional demand for dollars
Their was debasement in ancient Rome when some coins were issued with 90% gold content instead of 98% (Those are hypothetical ratios). The Denarius was permanently changed but there was not new coinage.
Velocity is the number of transactions in a certain period of time for the same amount of money supply (M1,M2 etc…). That is to say the number of times the same amount of money is turned over which I believe would be demand pull inflation. I think we currently have supply shortage inflation.
Raising rates because Food, Healthcare, Cars and other goods and services are going up in price due to shortages makes no Financial, Economic or Social sense.
Not sure if I answered your question but if you reply i will be happy to respond this evening. I might need to do a little research to refresh my memory.
While I understand the use of intrinsic, it’s not really necessary when discussing the debasement of currency since basically everything in our world revolves around it. With that said I don’t necessarily disagree with all you said. I do believe raising rates during high inflation, when there isn’t a huge overhang of debt that’s just going to continue to roll over because we’re broke, would be a good thing to do. Also, realistically much of your assumption assumes no austerity (which I realize in the real world is verboten given it seems a majority or close to is now on the taxpayers teet). If the governments operated on a budget as normal people do, or otherwise had a currency based on something or group of somethings tangible (gold, manufacturing output, etc) then such a thing as you mention above wouldn’t actually be the case. Meaning in a true environment where you can’t print your way out and therefore must live within your means then a rising interest rate environment would necessarily lead to less consumption elsewhere which would be deflationary – assuming the availability of goods remains static. (Sidenote – this is why I agree with Sundance in that it isn’t so much that demand for goods has gone up, at least this far removed from uncle Sam’s cash, it’s a lack of supply issue). Deflationary environments, when backed by real things, only occur when new tech makes something such as energy cheaper allowing for the natural growth of an economy, or when the amount of currency in circulation is reduced. If the fed funds rate and borrowing is essentially a tax then increasing that rate (cost) should motivate the retirement of debt permanently thus reducing the money supply. Every dollar that is “created” can be rehypothecated via loans and deposits multiple times. Reduce the money supply and reduce the velocity (deposits then used as loans by 1st depositors bank then deposited again by the next guy who took it as payment then his bank loans it out, almost ad infinitum) and you can reduce inflation – theoretically. However velocity has been relatively low, historically speaking, since roughly the 2008 crash.
Basically my opinion is that only reasons it doesn’t make sense are that
1) it’s a supply issue (specifically energy and refining)
2) we are in a high public and personal debt environment. This was not the case in the Volcker 80s
so I will touch back on this tonight but can you tell me what you are calling velocity of money? It sounds like what I learned to be the Reserve Requirement commercial banks are required to keep on hand in their Federal Reserve account (Reg D). I think we are talking about the same thing but different terminology .
BTW austerity will never work because America’s Entitlements are too high and D.C. uses baseline budgeting
Thanks
Velocity of money is essentially the number of times currency changes hands within a certain time period. I earn a dollar, then spend it on a pack of gum. The store owner uses that dollar to purchase TP for the public restroom. The paper provider then uses it pay a wage.
Reserve requirement is essentially that 10% of deposited $$ “stay in the bank” whereas the remaining 90% can then be lent out. RR can effect velocity by making the cost of doing business more expensive if you’re line of work requires the use of credit regularly. Unfortunately most businesses now operate on credit in one way or another
Sorry to miss you last night. I will looking for you and we can discuss currency debasement. Check out SD thread on inflation
Also, I am not questioning you as I think it may just be confusion ruling my part of the discussion. I wholeheartedly agree that monetary policy (at least with the debt overhang we have) is the wrong tool for a supply side issue
This is good conversation and to me the heart of much of the world trouble right now. Ill check back in a bit later but I am not reading your comments as adversarial. Not in the least.
Thanks for the conversation
Not my bailiwick, but that was interesting.
Is not the supply shortage caused by the massive printing of money that preceded it. As consumers buy up the inventory with newly minted helicopter money, the supply of goods dwindles. In other words, the supply shortage inflation is act two of the inflation movie.
Again, not my line of country. Please explain the below chart to me.
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2V
What I am saying is that we have supply shortages because of economics/politics. Predominately Energy and Food but also because of Covid. But Jerome Powell is using a monetary tool to try and fix a supply problem. Supply problems from logistics and not raw material price increase.
Too much money chasing too few goods is demand pull inflation. Inflation is pulled up because of limited goods and helicopter stimulus combination
Supply push inflation in this case is Corporations withholding supply (They arent pushing goods and services into economy). Technology has for the most part eliminated Supply side inflation via real time inventories
Powell is using tools designed for the first scenario and not the second. When it is the second that is our current reality. Fiscal policy is need not monetary.
Simply put Biden needs to spend the money to turn on the XL pipeline and spend the money to protect all the food processing plants. Not have his Central banker raise rates
Having Powell raise rates will only hasten the permanent devaluation of the dollar not alleviate inflation.
OK, I’ve thought about this some more.
The recent interest rate tightening is strengthening the dollar (DXY). This is because our high interest rates are sopping up global money. This will continue. As our dollar strengthens global goods seem less expensive. As our economy and the global economy slows, the demand for goods will drop until it comes in line with supply.
Your analysis is from a USA prospective only.
I do agree that we should attack this from a supply side perspective. Lower regulations, cut government, and drill baby drill. In other words, more Trump.
My analysis regards the miss-deeds of the Fed. But the interest rate increase will ultimately cause a recession that will lead to unemployment and a falling stock market. The dual mandate of the Fed (low unemployment and moderate 2% inflation ) is mostly an opposing assignment.
The world is broke and the Central Bankers that introduced this latest round of Fiat currency have spun their share to gold. This has been going on for years, I am talking 2800 and is known as “Babylon Money Magick”
I would bet rates go up but they soften their rhetoric to make is sound like things are improving….let’s not forget there is an election in 6 days.
Sure feels different this time. They really want a CBDC and are pushing XRP at United Nations. I think it is important that the the Federal Reserve was rolled into the U.S. Treasury. This is an excellent bell weather to watch. If Biden was in control the Fed would be independent again.
Warning, red pill vs blue pill moment.
Actually, it increases the value of the fiat dollar ‘relative’ to other fiat currencies paying a lower rate. Watch how the DXY has risen since these interest rate hikes started.
The action is twofold. One of which is unique to the fiat dollar itself, but more on that later.
First, interest rate ‘increases’ reduce the value of existing fixed-rate debt. For example, if you currently have a 2% 10year note and now the prevailing rate is 4% for 10 years, in order to sell your 2% to someone you need to reduce its price to match the 4% now on offer. Think used car prices.
Debt instruments are the primary form of how ‘dollars’ are held. Also, keep in mind that FDIC limits of deposits at banks. Not a problem for most people, I wish I had this problem, but one of great concern for those with more IOUs than years ahead, for some reason. Jesus said to store riches in heaven afterall, but too many with riches don’t listen. There is never a Uhaul behind the herse.
Regardless, even your bank account, of say 10K, is just an electronic IOU from the Bank. When you go to say Costco, and purchase something of immediate value, you are simply transferring this liability from one bank to another, all electrons. Only about 2% of the current purchasing power of the dollar is held as physical cash or the equivalent as excess reserves at the FED.
Second, the US dollar is the primary unit of exchange ‘outside’ the US. While many nations are attempting to move to more of a bi-directional exchange of value, wheat for oil, this only goes so far, as many complex many products require over 10x exchanges of value in order to bring forth.
For the more complex products, we require an ‘international’ mechanism for the exchanging value. One that ‘no’ government has any control over. One that is very rapid, even between nations at war.
Enter XRP and physical Gold.
XRP for real-time day-to-day exchange between local/sovereign digital currencies and physical gold at local market prices to ‘balance’ trade flow.
XRP is Proof of Source and can be preprinted. It is not defi
Very interesting article in today’s WSJ. White suburban women make up 20% of the electorate. In recent months, there has been a 26 point shift by them to the GOP. Dems are cooked. White suburban women are their base. When they lose them, they lose elections.
Hence the full throttle political ads about abortion. Here in Oregon the ads have been frequent and over the top. They’re working the fear factor on the subject, but I am not sure it’s gaining much traction.
I know. So that is your key issue? The ability to murder babies on demand? That is all you have?

“Fox10 in Phoenix—Kari Lake’s former station—just displayed a graphic showing Katie Hobbs won the Arizona governor’s race 12 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION.” — Charlie Kirk
Subsequently, the station explained that “At 5:50pm during the Fox 10 newscast today a small graphic appeared on the lower left side of the screen showing test results for the upcoming election. These were generated by the Associated Press which distributes results to clients.”
Well, that explains it. AP is a hard-left fount of tendentious rants about ‘election deniers,’ ‘baseless right-wing conspiracy theories,’ and the like.
Allowing a leftist organization with an ax to grind to pose as a neutral vote tabulator is ridiculous. AP’s ‘practice’ graphic checking off Katie Hobbs as the winner of the gubernatorial race is of a piece with sudden 2 a.m. jumps in “Biden’s” vote count in 2020. AP just revealed a small component of the preconceived cheat.
Everyone should shun media outlets which use a guaranteed-slanted AP feed. Pull the plug on AP’s leftist trolls and election thieves.
Fox News / Arizona / Election Night-
we’ve seen the setup before.
Isn’t that right, Martha and Brett? The viewers ( for the most part) fled after that night.
As others have pointed out, if it WAS “just a test” why not have it say 50/50, substitute different names, etc.
In short, their attempts to explain it away are as lame as their attempts to explain PP getting hammered, either time.
AP fesses up to one of its past egregious lies, which –surprise, surprise! – favored Democrats too:
“In 2000, the major TV networks and the AP called Florida for Democrat Al Gore, relying largely on Election Day polling. As the votes were counted everyone reversed course.”

Fancy that – “as the votes were counted everyone reversed course.”
Who needs votes? As AP demonstrates over and over, they’ve already decided the desired outcome. Voting is a mere formality. ‘Inappropriate choices’ by voters can be corrected on the fly, so the country stays in safe hands. /sarc

Can you get more overtly corrupt than this? Firstly, ballot drop boxes are violating every law requiring chain of custody or ID. That makes them illegal to start with. But prohibiting recording in a PUBLIC SPACE? That’s beyond absurd and a constitutional violation of the first amendment.
I hope this gets appealed BEFORE the election? This is insane.
Red state legislatures have only themselves to blame. They have been aware of the problem and had two years to outlaw drop boxes and didn’t.
Based on existing law, it may not even be necessary to explicitly state that drop boxes are against the law and constitution.
People will continue to film on public streets. The judge has no authority to make this ruling. Best way to combat this is to make it unlawful for these drop boxes to exist. Missouri did it as well as making mandatory for photo id’s
Whatever made anyone think it was okay to have drop boxes for ballots in the first place?
Now do traffic cameras!
The City of London’s banking sector has hit the eurodollar wall. The citizens of Britain need a champion to break down that eurodollar wall that enslaves them.
That said, the bankers want more backstops from the taxpayer. The bankers have Mark Carney and Mike Bloomberg working on this.

Bengals player drops dead at 38…

He was a consultant to the coaching staff, not a player
Claremont Institute Senior Fellow Matthew J. Peterson (@docMJP) as follows:“Hey—sorry you lost your job b/c of the vax that doesn’t work and your grandmother died alone and you couldn’t have a funeral and your brother’s business was needlessly destroyed and your kids have weird heart problems—but let’s just admit we were all wrong and call a truce, eh?
It’s too bad we shut the entire economy down & took on tyrannical powers that have never been used before in this country—looking back, you should have been able to go to church and use public parks while we let people riot in the streets—but it was a confusing time for everyone.
Hey I’m sorry we scared the hell out of you & lied for years & persecuted & censored anyone who disagreed but there was an election going on & we really wanted to beat Donald Trump so it was important to radically politicize the science even if it destroyed your children’s lives.
OK, yes we said unvaccinated people should die & not get healthcare while never questioning Big Pharma once but we are compassionate people which is why even though we shut down the entire economy we also bankrupted the nation & caused inflation. You’re welcome! Let’s be friends.”
I can’t stop watching this stupid thing.
But it was all worth it because ChiCom Joe is occupying the White House and the Democrats control both the Senate and the House and are destroying the country with their spending, build back better and Green New Deal!!!/s
Considering the “Silos” which Sundance has written about and also the difference in the groups/wants of the DOD/State Depart vs CIA/Pentagon, there was an interesting link posted today by a Treeper as Ive struggled with explaining the Deep State / Globalist details to other who don’t follow some of the higher level politics/policy makers, but this post jarred a potential realization.
Are the Deep State and the Globalists actually two separate forces ? Are they also potentially in a power struggle?
Makes sense, now considering. Any opinions from established Treepers appreciated!
Blessings to all.
I don’t know if the “silos” were designed to prevent physical documents being shared for plausible deniability or if the “silos” also meant that info wasn’t shared verbally or by other IC means that can’t be detected? That being said there’s always a struggle for power within any totalitarian regime and ours is no different. So yes there could be a power struggle between the deep state and the globalists about who’s in control but not where they want to take us!!! If the struggle slows them down that’s great but both factions need to be destroyed!! That’s my two cents.
Good point but it seems intuitive that they are all at each other’s throats in the end. They’re greedy selfish evil scum, so of course they won’t share with each other either. The one thing they have in common is that they all are willing to steal from us and destroy us.
Britain is in Globalist hands. What is this their cultural marxist version of our unconstitutional “Affirmative Action” or communist South Africa’s “BEE”? The woman has ties to Kenya & Mauritius. Do they have ties to the Gupta crime Family?
Yeah… we don’t care about you either. But I have to wonder what flashed before his eyes as he died suddenly. Were his last thoughts “Oh crap… they were right…?”
The stunning part is the comments after, the number of idiots trying to make excuses for him, or shame those who now fail to express sadness at his passing after he passed judgment on the people who weren’t stupid enough to follow his medical advice.
The cult is still strong.
Well if the “cult” continues to take the mRNA experimental shots the cult herd will continue to be thinned suddenly like he was!
Actually my thought is that the demonic possession of the cult members remains strong. And now I realize why. They see this guy as a martyr now. They see themselves as virtuous, they still screech at us for being selfish for refusing the poison that they now also know to be poison, but because they rushed to be first in line (out of their selfish stupid fear) they now rebrand themselves as having done it for us, to protect us, and that anyone who dies from the poison is a martyr.
They can’t admit that they were wrong in their belief in the big lie, and they won’t admit that they were wrong in their methods and demands. This despite the reality that had they just engaged in honest open debate, had they engaged in actual science and public discourse, they too would have realized that it was all lies and that the poison was in fact not going to save them from anything. The need to retain their sense of moral superiority remains as strong as ever, and the desperation as they realize how wrong they were doesn’t lessen that delusion in the least.
Well they can maintain their evil “sense of moral superiority” right into 6 feet of ground!
I understand that Julie of Julie and Julia who also just died was not only “fully boosted” but rabidly outspoken about the issue.
It’s a shame that people actually think this way. In a country founded on the understanding that no government should be trusted, some nearly 250 years later, people trust government so much they’ll risk their lives by tossing out everything they should have known in favor of all of this. From the very beginning they stated clearly that the only people at risk were the elderly and those with re-existing co-morbidities. For me, that’s when the pandemic stopped for me. And they NEVER changed from that point.
People with a brain should have arrived at an obvious conclusion — that there’s nothing to worry about. But all of the political pressure continued and then mandates and everything else seemed to convince people to toss out any sense of reason or logic.
James May: I’ve knocked on 8,000 hard Dem doors, I’m stunned by DEM support in PA

It shouldn’t be surprising. Why would they be cheating central in PA if the voters really wanted the Democrats?

This was fantastic, thanks! The Wellerman is one of my favorites.
