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 think this is a fake story. An elementary school student would not have means to feed themselves, but a high school student can certainly afford a loaf of bread and some baloney.
School lunch is too costly for a growing number of families. Will a White House pledge help?
Oct. 2, 2022
-snipped-
The Biden administration just laid out a strategy to expand free meals to 9 million more students by 2032. School nutrition directors are urging universal meals for all — now.

No, school lunches are not too costly, if the parents are…
NOT buying drugs, cancer sticks, lottery tickets, tattoos, and other idiotic things.Working, which is easy, since HELP WANTED signs are still quite commonSee 1 and 2.
Love your avatar. 🙂
Thank you! I got hooked on Uncle Scrooge McDuck and Duckburg in the early 1950’s: Carl Barks, one of Disney’s original animators/artists, created the character for the comic books after World War II. An amazing man: he created nearly 700 comic-book stories in 20-25 years and lived to age 99 (Born in 1901 !)
I had taught myself to read through Donald Duck/Uncle Scrooge stories by age 5! 🙂
The Duck Tales 1980’s show was based on his stories, but he received no credit!
Loved ScroogeMcDuck as the actual Scrooge in Disney’s version of Dickens!
The same students are walking around on $800.00 iPhones!
Mary, the price has gone way up…some of those Iphones are $1200+, if newer models….(last I checked).
Yes and they leave the school to go to the local quickie market at lunch time to buy junk food with a credit card their parents gave them.
They are also probably 40 pounds overweight and have never gone hungry a day in their lives.
With earbuds costing well over $100 a pop too!
I’ve seen how fat these students and their parents are. Hungry??!! Yeah, right.
True Dante.
These kids and many of their parents walk around all day with bags of chips and bottles of pop in their hands constantly sipping and chewing on something.
My parents didn’t do any of those things and we always brown bagged our lunch because my parents could provide food from home but could not afford school lunches. Maybe money for camping trips was more important and that’s the reason we could not afford school lunch.
I ate PBJ for 8 years….and I still do PBJ to avoid the over priced hospital cafeteria. And I am 64!
Nowadays you would be ostracized for risking the life of those with peanut allergies.
I live in a suburb just outside of Cleveland. They have had free food available every month since the spring of 2020 because of Covid. They show the lines of cars picking up the food, it’s ridiculous! There are high end cars that look newer than anything I own lines up popping the trunk for a box of free food. Food banks should only supply food to real needy people, like seniors living on a fixed income.
During the covid lockdowns one of the local schools here delivered the free school lunches to the kids homes via school bus.
Each and every day the huge yellow bus drove all over the tiny little town and out in the rural area’s dropping off the free lunches.
Took them hours to drop off the cold free lunches of sandwiches and fruit etc.
Could not believe it when I heard what they were doing.
Took the lunches right to the doors of the kids.
Give me a break.
Not all parents are buying drugs or sitting on their butts doing their nails, while watching soap operas.
Some parents are divorced mothers who work while raising five kids but still can’t afford school lunches and so are grateful for school lunch programs.
Just because a mother has a need to feed and house her kids with help from whomever or whatever, does not make her a drug addled, fake fingernail, cigarette smoking tattooed loser.
It just makes her a mother doing the best she can for her kids after her Air Force Captain loser husband ran off with another woman leaving her and her kids to fend for themselves.
Not all who need help are the trash that so many here project them to be.
Walk a mile in her shoes before judging.
If they are too poor to afford brown bag lunches for their kids, then they are eligible for free school lunches already.
I did not imply that every family’s story would fit the description. 😉
However, I have worked for Food Banks and other help-the-poor groups and have some experience to offer for the comment.
I was asked to work at a food pantry once. I politely said no. When pressed for a reason, I explained that the first time one of those Cadillac SUVs with $5000 dollar a piece wheels on it drove up, there would be a problem.
A number of years ago I pressed the local school to sign up all of the students on free lunch. With the qualifications the government had most were eligible. The school would make about $.70 per meal between what it cost and what the government paid. They would not do it. The next year we learned the big ritzy school in Dallas had all their kids signed up.
How much would it be to pack an apple and a baloney sandwich or a hot baked potato in aluminum foil? If they are poor or lower middle class the kids already get taxpayer supplied meals. So, I’m thinking almost all households can afford baked potatoes or apples, etc.
You are right Trisha and those mothers need and deserve the help.
But it is frustrating to see so much time energy and money go where it goes, to people who take advantage.
There seems to be no end to those people now and we are all wondering just exactly how long any civilization can survive the parasites.
Many believe we are nearing the end, we are nearing the collapse of our once beautiful and strong America because we are not allowed to say NO MORE.
We must draw the line some where or we all will lose everything we have.
Good luck to all of those parents who really need and deserve the help, but God Help those who are cheating and stealing from those of us who work so hard now days and are losing all we have from the parasites.
This can not go on.
So true Ausonius.
This probably comes from a kid wearing $350 shoes and $125 T-Shirts.
He or she probably has their own cell phone.
Gag me.
As long as you adhere to their CRT, transgenderism/sexual grooming, and boys in the girls lockerr rooms., bathrooms and sports.
OTOH, FREE meals are not FREE.
It’s. girl’s lock-her rooms.
I’d rather my tax dollars went to the kids who need food (there are a lot of them) and are American citizens than to illegals running across the border for the “ free stuff” they can get because our govt. puts them ahead of Americans or instead of sending billions of dollars to Ukraine to disappear unaccounted for to who knows who. There are plenty of Americans who need the help and no child living here should ever be hungry. We are better than that.
Ass, grass, or cash; nobody rides for free.
Any child who is not receiving proper nutrition IN THE HOME is a victim of parental neglect.
Some public schools provide breakfast, morning snack, lunch and supper. And send home a bag of food on the weekends. What are their parents doing?
and that is NOT the child’s fault is it?
I would imagine the parents of kids on the free lunch also get several forms of Welfare. Why are they not buying food with the benefits? Could they be selling their food stamps for .50 cents on the dollar to drug dealers?
Because they are out buying the latest IPAD 9000000
The problem is that under Trump there was a surplus of food, we went into lockdowns and the school lunches were getting delivered, literally delivered, to homes.
There is no surplus currently for the reasons we already are well aware of.
And the costs have skyrocketed. Free meal programs, free food programs are contracting at an alarming rate. For example, there is no cereal. It is just not available.
I’m not sure what the demented fool or anyone else can do about it, they’ve democrat policied us right out of their own handouts.
There’s an awakening that is going to happen when hungry newly evicted families can’t get the basics to survive.
This is another classic case of the ‘Hegelian Dialectic’.
They will have nothing and be happy? While eating buys….
American public schools THROW AWAY tons and tons of food. This is the standard Fake News ‘the children are starving’ propaganda. The problem with children in the U.S., of course, is chronic obesity and childhood diabetes.
Whenever democrats say “It’s for the children” hang onto your wallet.
I miss hearing Rush say that.
I know who Rush is but I was never a listener. His show was never on during my work commute, which is when I listen to the radio.
I did not give Rush credit for the quote because the saying was my own, along with, when the dims say “If it saves one life, it’s worth it” hang onto your freedoms.
“If it ain’t broke, fix it until it is”. Democrat politics in a nutshell.
“The Simpsons” are always ahead of the game.
same thing when the dems say “surely we can” do something. You can feel your wallet get lighter.
“Clearly” almost always means anything but.
It is an attempt to pre-emptively forestall any argument, because if you dispute what follows, obviously you don’t ‘see’ whats “clear”; i.e. you are an idiot.
Objectively, used to introduce a statement, it has no other purpose.
Clearly, it is a manipulation.
It is a manipulation.
See the difference?
I “Clearly” see the difference.
Who am I going to believe, the dems or my own clearly lying eyes?
Now that we have vaccinated all the children multiple times I think we will save a tremendous amount of money in school lunches.
The greatest crime in history is vaccinating children for covid. The doctors at the FLCCC do not recommend or support the seasonal flu vaccination either. Eyes have been opened, corruption and hidden information is there if you are willing to search and critically think. Unfortunately most are not.
My sub-genius nephew did some research because he hated the school lunches so badly and found out Big Mike O. forced the companies that provide food to jails and prisons to assume the public school feeding programs. Our kids eat jail food.
Give the youngster some credit…he is right!
I have extensive experience as a correctional health care nurse….both at the Adult State, Juvi State and Adult County, and Juvi County…levels….
I witnessed the garbage that they all in lock ups, were forced to eat.
It was worse if they had no access to “commissary” funds to buy junk food.
“Fit for Human consumption”..
barely
He is on the brink of brilliance. I say sub genius because he hasn’t quite figured out how to deal with the fact everyone else isn’t as gifted as he is, and his patience runs thin with us Normals.
I remember school lunch in the 60’s as not so bad. The women that cooked, cooked from scratch…now they serve cheap processed food.
Best Peanut butter cookies in the world.
And cinnamon rolls! 😜
Tuesday was country barbecue sandwiches and peas. Amazing how good that was. Thursday was my favorite day. Meat, brown beans, potatoes and corn bread. For dessert a slice of chocolate cake. Friday was vegetable soup or chili with cheese sandwiches. All the food was “home cooked”. Cost 25 cents a meal. I loved school lunch. Could not wait to get to the cafeteria line.
I’m a child of the 50s/60s. Cafeteria foods were full meals, cooked from scratch. I normally carried my lunch getting to have hot lunch on rainy days.
I live in Mississippi now and love reading the school lunch menu’s for all grade levels printed weekly in our weekly newspaper.
An example from November 1st for K-12: chicken fajita salad, ham and cheese hoagie, taco soup, baked potato, mixed vegetables, cornbread, frozen fruit cup, milk.
Kids in our county eat well!
Where do you think Obesity, Diabetes comes from????? Having to eat processed food that is also GMO. Fresh high quality food is TOO expensive. There is also the problem with their generation not knowing how to cook. Mothers are not in the home ….which was planned as a way to deconstruct Family life, so it has been all part of a diabolical plan to begin with. To just blame a child or poor people for poor health (obesity) is lazy.
I work with a lady who comes from a fairly affluent background and 6 months ago started working outside of the home. She and her husband could afford to have her stay at home. Her 5 year old eats garbage snack food. He just had to have two cavities filled in his molars last week. 5 years old! I did not get my first cavity until I was 22 years old, on my own, and making stupid food choices.
My office has a many ladies who are married and have younger children. All of these kids are handed bigger bags of chips, pretzels, and other goodies to munch on while mom works. The younger ones have not begun getting fat but the ones who are around 10 years old a pudgy. Sad and preventable.
I was one of the last generations that had to take Home Economics to graduate.
I don’t think so. I think the school system could offer the same good food I ate at school and do so for less. I think Moms can prepare good meals for less than the garbage fast food. Think “pink slime” hamburgers. I hear folks often complain about the price of grapes or cherries or other fruit per pound, and my response is always, “ how much do you think that choc bar is per pound?
The parent spends any money she gets on lottery tickets and alcohol. There’s nothing in the fridge. The parent is asleep. The kid goes to school.
I used to work in one of NJ’s democrat urban zones and drove through a few interesting neighborhoods on the way in. I watched grade school kids stop in the local bodega while walking to school for their ‘breakfast’ – a bag of chips and a soda.
Let me guess…”Flaming Hot Cheetos”?
Goes great with grape soda.
And how do you know that?
The elitist attitude of some posters here iS astounding.
I try to keep my mouth shut when you all attack single mothers as though we are nothing but alcoholic, cigarette smoking, tattoo laden abusers.
You all have gone to far.
Have you never considered the economy has never favored those of lower income?
Sure there are those who take advantage of food programs, etc.
And there are those who do not.
There are still many of the lower income who don’t even qualify.
And you would be shocked learning of those in middle class and higher who don’t need but qualify and enjoy snap benefits.
Depends on which state you live in
So let’s stop with single mother bashing ok?
Many of us work two jobs to make ends meet
Unfortunately those ends move farther apart every day.
I don’t think that’s what they’re doing at all. Everyone here understands that single mothers are a huge, huge group in America.
However, there is also a huge, huge groups of grifters in America. They exist because both parties have funded them again and again and again.
It’s not ususual at all, if you’re in a field that requires you to visit homes, to see the luxuries of life when they first come out–extra large tv’s, the newest and most expensive cell phones, athletic shoes that cost a fortune–several pairs of them–food that is both expensive and not at all nutritious (tv dinners loaded w/ salt, bags and bag of chip, sides of dips and salsa, sugary drinks, etc) and on and on.
In fact, my last paragraph began with “It’s not unusual at all.” but actually, the occurrence of what I listed is actually COMMON and the point is that many of these choices are bad for children no matter who buys them, but the reality is that it’s especially upsetting when the taxpayer realizes the parent who purchases these things are doing so not with money they earned, but with money YOU earned.
Raising kids is always tough although rewarding. Single parenthood is a tough road. I do believe almost 100% of the folks who comment here don’t mean disrespect to those who are single parents.
The kind of parent who abuses a system in not likely to be a poster on a political blog, in my experience.
I’ve seen no such understanding in what has been poSted today in regards to mother’s on food stamps.
All comments have only mentioned mother’s/parent who is either negligent, lazy, alcoholic or drug addicted who do not care for their fat junk food eating lazy children except to buy them high priced gadgets, clothes and shoes.
There is a big difference on those who fleece the system and those who need the system.
I’ve not seen or known anyone who made enough off the system that afforded them to buy any of those luxuries.
Perhaps I live in the wrong state. Here in my ‘realm’, poor is poor. Especially among the working class where we help one another not condemn and ridicule financial lack.
A little more respect is all that’s asked.
Not everyone is born fortunate
Ma’am, there is no doubt there are folks out there who need help and do not want to be in that position. Those are usually the people who have the toughest time navigating the labyrinthine process of obtaining assistance, which is fast tracked for certain demographics who are the most likely to abuse and defraud the system for generations. I have a family member who has scammed every angle she possibly could in the way of child support, public assistance and leaning on family members and eventually stealing from us to feed a disgusting multi decade lifestyle of sloth. I apologize if my previous comment has caused you grief.
they certainly mean disrespect to those who are poor.
If you don’t like chips, salsa and beer, go after the Sunday football
watchers in their lounge chairs. LOL
We all know there is fraud in the welfare system. Don’t assume because
someone is poor that they are welfare cheats. Teenagers eat a lot of junk food.
Get off everyone’s case over a bag of chips. Geez Louise
I get it Trisha….you/they probably have little time to cook. But I will tell you this ….if you take some of that precious little time and learn how (lost “art”)to prepare and put up meals like say women of the depression era…then you/they can feed your kids “good” food with less time and money. I am having to think more along the lines of my GrandMothers ways. It takes changing a lot of habits but it is worth it. The convenience/cost of processed food is causing poor health outcomes. Time is such a precious thing for many parents…..and “they” purposely fill our time doing and thinking about such mundane things that you find yourself just trying to get through the day. Case in point …Christmas” ….has become grotesque to me….Now starts in Nov. 1 and you spend the entire year trying to pay for it when it really should be about the celebration of Christ and Family. Sorry did not intend it to be a lecture but just advice for all of us to survive their evil agenda.
How do you come by the assumption that I, and others like me, do not know how to cook?
That I do not know how to budget to buy nutritious groceries or how to cook from scratch?
How do you assume to know anything about my , or those like me , circumstances?
My grandparents raised children during the depression. My great grandparents and extended family are what you would call ‘poor dirt farmers’.
Yes I learned a thing or two from them.
The biggest was by their example of kindness towards those less fortunate than them as well the more affluent.
Perhaps I should step back and remember this lesson today and keep my thoughts to myself.
now you want poor people to learn how to cook?
How do you know they can’t?
I wasn’t bashing the mother. I was bashing the man who had sex with her and then ditched his kids.
I agree with you 100%. A lot of “holier than thou” comments which
are despicable. Obviously, these people know nothing about being poor.
Let’s see pics of these hungry children. 🤔 They can blur the faces.
If you work in almost any public school, especially in cities, you will see many hungry children who would have nothing to eat if it wasn’t for the school food programs. To deny a child food because you are unhappy with the lifestyle of the parents is really harsh. I agree that many of these parents are not interested in raising their kids well, use the monies they get from welfare, food stamps, etc. and spend it on things other than nutritious food for their kids. This is not the children’s fault and the children still need to eat.
For sure there should be regulations enforced that make food stamps useable only on basic foods with acceptable nutrition levels, but the bleeding hearts on the left said no go. People would feel discriminated against if they went to the store and could only buy certain food with their food stamps. Therefor,as with other forms of welfare, there is rampant waste, no responsibility and no real limits or ability to track the costs and wasted funds, on the “free stuff” that we hand out. Consequently the use of these programs is warped and expensive.
The common sense answers are never allowed and even if they were, those would most likely get abused eventually too, if they are managed by the govt. If we could somehow create and provide jobs, make people work and be responsible for their living expenses, build some pride of independence in them then it is the best answer for all of it. Let them have path ways to independence financially. People are required then, to earn their food stamps, etc. Then give extra help where help is truly needed.
Frankly, if a parent gets food stamps and they aren’t providing their kids with food they should be charged with neglect and the children removed from the home.
True, Lulu.
No one wants to “deny children food”.
But as you point out a huge amount of people are on food benefits already and yet somehow these children are claiming hunger.
And some how that is now my fault.
I do not think so.
To make the charge that I am trying to “deny children food” is ridiculous.
There is much real hunger and starvation in the world, and I mean real hunger.
Third world countries are full of it, but this is not my fault either and I resent being blamed for the lack of food in many homes in America that use their Snap benefits for chips and pop and cookies.
And I know they do I see them using them in the grocery store all the time.
I do hope the women who have been left with five children because their Air Force husband ran off with another woman can solve their problems.
This is not good.
But it is also not my fault and I can not feed the world which is full of many problems.
And I really really resent some here who say I am denying children food.
I do no such thing.
Like Lulu says, perhaps the home situation should be checked into and the children should be removed due to neglect.
I agree with your goal (kids being fed) but I prefer the church doing it with zero support from government.
“An elementary school student would not have means to feed themselves, but a high school student can certainly afford a loaf of bread and some baloney.”
IDK, rarely did the school lunch thing when it existed but it was normal in the 60’s for kids to have their own money for food, if they chose to spend it on food, from a pretty young age, certainly by high school as you suggested.
However, generally, they could count on food from home. My old NFL lunchbox is a reminder of that. It contained simple, nutritious meals.
The thermos in my box often contained a hot leftover of the previous night’s dinner. If I wanted snacks or to ‘eat out’ off-campus in grade school I used the money from my paper route, after third grade anyway.
We weren’t ‘odd’, rather typical of urban and suburban families of modest means. We, the neighborhood, did have something that’s often missing today, a full-time household manager, someone I knew as ‘mom’.
At the other end of life, being a low income senior who qualifies for ‘food stamps’, I find I can eat quite well and nutritiously on the basic benefit provided, and I’ll bet I could get creative and feed a kid or two without any further assistance. It’s not rocket science. It’s not even high school science. IDK, perhaps such elementary failures are why society apparently is on a death spiral. Sad.
I would save up my money from returning bottles for the deposit, paper route, and a meager allowance for mowing the lawn or other chores I’d do, and eat off-campus in grade school in 5th and 6th grade about once a week or so. It cost me 53 cents for a burger, fries, and a small soda at the Mr. Quick. Also I had a friend Todd whose grandmother lived right across the street from the school and she’d feed us lunch whenever we showed up. I was so sick of the school lunches by then, which were like cheap TV dinners. If I was going to have to eat lunch at school, I’d pack a peanut butter or baloney sandwich and a Hostess Ho-Ho or something. Both the Jr. High schools I went to (we moved to a different state between 7th and 8th grade) had amazing school lunches. It was common for parents to come and eat with their kids, the food was so good. Fresh homemade dinner rolls, homemade chicken and noodles, actual legit hamburgers cooked on the flattop and fries cooked in oil, etc. Plus pizza on Fridays and tacos on Tuesday when I was in 8th grade. High school lunches sucked in comparison.
2 cents for the small coke bottle and 5 cents for the large one! Freehold, New Jersey circa 1960.
‘Brings back memories of Oveltene and toast after communion every morning…
About 12 years ago, there was a huge push for the kids t NOT bring a lunch from home…am guessing it was because the school got $$$ for the number of school lunches provided?
There were kids who’s lunches were takekn from them, forced to get and “pay” for school lunches…then ridiculed if the parents could not afford to pay the tab…
It was not that long ago…anyone remember? Those glorious Obama years/s?
I grew up in southern Arizona right next to the Mexican border and many of my classmates were from great big families whose parents had just legally immigrated to the USA from Mexico.
And when I say big families I mean BIG.
Nine or ten or eleven kids jammed into a tiny little house so clean you could eat off the floor.
And I loved eating with them.
Their mother’s and grandmothers\’s always had simple delicious meals made mostly from beans, rice, vegetables, cheese a bit of chicken and piles of home made tortilla’s topped of with tall glasses of ice cold milk.
There was So MUCH FOOD on the table and my friends brothers would eat plate after plate after plate of this food.
There was always a big bowl of fruit on the table, apples or bananas, simple stuff that the kids could grab and eat any time of the day all day long, as many as they wanted.
One time a local charity made the mistake of taking a box of food over to my friends house because her Dad had been hurt and was out of work for a few weeks.
WOW, was that a mistake.
He was sitting in the living room in in a chair and gave them an ear full ( in Spanish) of where they could take their free stuff and what they could do with it.
They were proud hard working people that did not like hand outs but was glad to share what they had.
Difficult to explain but wish we had more like them around now.
Simple homes and simple healthy lives and kindness toward each other.
They were not the grasping greedy type to go out and buy all kind of cheap chinese crap and fill their homes with it like you see so many now days.
Once we were Seniors we’d drive over to McDonalds, basically because we could.
I had to take Driver’s Ed after school when I was 15, so I’d miss the bus and have to wait for my parents to pick me up after they got off work which meant I had about an hour to kill. I’d walk over to the local burger joint about 8 blocks away and get a strawberry shake or something, if I had any money that is. I usually had enough to get something there. Also for my HS going off campus for lunch wasn’t allowed period, so we did it all the time by being sneaky. LOL
We lived way way out in the country and went to a small Catholic school.
Thought we were so deprived because we grew up without access to the fast food junk stuff that kids in cities had.
So glad I missed out on all of that now.
We deliberately moved our family out to a rural area when kids were small so they could grow up some what the same as my husband and myself.
I fondly remember HS lunches at A&W Root Beer drive-in with root beer floats!
In SoCal during covid and closed schools they STILL passed out lunches because it is a program that gets funding. The streets were littered with the remnants of “free” school lunches because the parents wanted the milk and juice and not much else so a lot went in the trash or simply on the ground. But at least the lunch program employees could still collect their paycheck.
Even before covid, in san diego, they had these lunch giveaways during summers and breaks, usually at the rec centers and they would beg people to come get lunches so they wouldn’t lose funding. Um, there was literally no demand for these free lunches.
Same in Oregon.
Sometimes Id take the kids for a walk to the school because they liked the hot dogs and the pastry.
I asked the lady working the table how many lunches they give out daily.
She said about 30, compared to the 250 they normally served during school.
I imagine she was just happy to be working.
Of course, every child who was in public school at the time qualified for something like $250/month automatically. So, 2 kids…$500 a month for food on an EBT card that was mailed to the home.
Im fairly convinced that a portion of our massive food inflation is due to the state emergency status and the the EBT windfalls people collected.
And free breakfast too.
Sent my Granddaughter to Catholic school and they lost their lunch program because Federal funding required a nutritionist instead of the good cooks they had. That was during Obama.
Looks like it was worst case $50 cost per month per kid in the CONUS in 2014. Inflate that by 27% with almost 50% of that coming in 2022 alone and it’s now $63.50.
My lunch in High School in 1971 cost 35 cents and made from scratch from a bunch of nice grandma’s
Yes, mine was 25cents I think and the food was wonderful. Sloppy Joes was a favorite. We had a Grandma who worked there as well…she was a great friend of our family.
get a lunch box and bring your lunch
And if you’re concerned about other kids going hungry you’re free to put extra in your kids lunch to share. My mom had cerebral palsy and had a few hip surgeries when i was a kid. She was bed ridden for 3 years. My family often depended on others charity, especially the people of St. Claire’s church, to help. Good people… real good.
It not a bad habit to get into. I pack a lunch for work, kids can do it for school.
In CA most kids who apply for it and supply a few pieces of paper, get their schooll lunches for free. They are told one entree, one milk/juice.
Those who don’t quite quality can apply to work in the cafeteria a bit and earn the breakfast or lunch.
Every school lunch is subsidized looking at those prices. My kids go to private school and for a carton of milk and say 4 fish sticks and some broccoli or a slice of pizza and celery sticks it’s 6 to 7 dollars a day per kid. And this is crappy food just like the public schools.
I remember reading when The Ungrateful One was in the WH and pushed her food program on the nation students who brought lunch from home were forced to throw it away if it didn’t meet certain qualifications.
Are they still following this insanity?
President Trump’s Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue signed a proclamation to begin to undo federal standards that the Obama administration placed on lunches in public schools and return those decisions to local schools.
https://www.newsweek.com/why-have-michelle-obamas-healthy-school-meals-been-junked-592938
Since when has NBC told us the truth?
Is NBC talking about Michelle Obama’s school lunch menus?
BTW … I grew up POOR. With an alcoholic single parent father. Our mother abandoned her two boys … legally … in court. And sent us to live with the alcoholic man she wouldn’t remain married to. I eventually was placed in a Foster home (of my choosing) … really GREAT Christian people. And I was on various forms of public assistance as a kid (thank you AMERICAN taxpayers). And … I received a FREE lunch and brunch in HS … mmmmmmm gooey site-made cinnamon rolls for brunch.
Oh!? Did I say “free”? That’s a misnomer as I had to WORK for my meals by working in the lunch line every day. Yes, all my classmates knew I was the “poor kid” who had to work in the lunch line. Was I embarrassed? Only slightly. I never took responsibility or embarrassment for my parents … nor was I a “victim” … it just was what it was. I was determined to be my own man, and break “the cycle of poverty”. I did.

REVEALED: THE FORMER ISRAELI SPIES WORKING IN TOP JOBS AT GOOGLE, FACEBOOK AND MICROSOFT
MintPress study has found that hundreds of former agents of the notorious Israeli spying organization, Unit 8200, have attained positions of influence in many of the world’s biggest tech companies, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon.
The Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) Unit 8200 is infamous for surveilling the indigenous Palestinian population, amassing kompromat on individuals for the purposes of blackmail and extortion. Spying on the world’s rich and famous, Unit 8200 hit the headlines last year, after the Pegasus scandal broke. Former Unit 8200 officers designed and implemented software that spied on tens of thousands of politicians and likely aided in the killing of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Democratic L.A. Mayoral Candidate Karen Bass Says She No Longer Feels Safe After Burglary At Her Home
September 15, 2022
-snipped-
At a 2022 spring mayoral debate, Bass told a moderator that she was a 10 on a 10-point scale measuring safety in Los Angeles, according to Fox News. “I do feel safe,” she said. “I would say a 10. But I do understand that a lot of people around the city do not feel safe, and I respect that.”
But now, Bass said the thieves “shattered” her ability to feel safe in the city.
“I did feel safe until my safety was shattered like so many Angelenos,” Bass told Fox 11.
Despite sponsoring the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act of 2021, which took funding away from traditional police investment, Bass told Fox 11 it was time to get police officers back onto the streets.
“We need to get officers on the street as fast as possible,” she added, telling Fox 11 that she sees “safety” as “the number one job of the mayor.”

Unexpectedly.
Democrats support the stuff that is destroying our Country and Community right up until it affects themselves.
My wife and I know a couple that have been supporting the Democrats for decades. They hated Trump and eagerly voted for Biden.
Their youngest daughter is currently caught up in the “gender confusion” that she learned at public middle school. Both of the parents are absolutely furious at the school system and what the teachers and counselors have done to their child.
Oh, well…
Ha. it’s all unicorns and rainbows until it is your kid.
Morons everywhere.
Elections have consequences.
did you inform them they need to hold a mirror up to themselves to look for the root cause….it is what THEY have done to their daughter
Just express disgust, and shame them for being “Trans-phobic” and then ask them if they are also “election deniers”, lol.
Or, recognise it as an opportunity to help someone thru the initial stages of red-pilling,..?
My sister teaches an exercise class. Just for fun on Mon. she took a poll on who the 8 people in class would vote for Governor on Nov. 8. The count was 7-1 for the Dem. My sister was the 1. She is in NYS and we are talking the awful Kathy Hochul. One of the people said she was voting for her because she was a former local resident. That’s it. The others just because she is the Dem and she will be nicer or words to that effect. Every woman there was a college graduate and has very well paying careers.
If you think the red wave is a sure thing, you just might find some big disappointment on Weds. Not saying the repubs won’t win some elections, but the ones the media are hyping might just be because they want to make the Dem look like the wunderkind when they somehow (cheat or stupid voters)pull out a win in the big races. Hochul being a prime example. She is dumb and she isn’t popular but she is backed/owned by the big guys and she pretty much has no choice but to win.
These women in this exercise class are a microcosm of the voters in NYS. They just refuse to educate themselves on the policies of anyone but the Dems. They mostly vote the party, not the candidate. They think the Dems are more compassionate, more generous, nicer. They have done this for years.
Still hoping Zeldin pulls a miracle, but will not be the least bit surprised it he doesn’t.
These people are stone cold stupid. Without having been the victim of a crime, even the biggest idiot in the room should be able to come up with a Flow Chart that shows how one action moves into another action.
Miami Sunday 11/6
I can picture FJB staring blankly up at the sky after the first raindrop hits the top of his head.
I see what you did there. LOLOLOL!
Sounds like what F’n Joe does when someone shouts, “Look, a dead bird!”
Or a seizure spot, gap mouthed and eyes agog, like Hillary at the Philadelphia DNC Convention when the balloons went up, looking like she needed to be rushed to the hospital.
President Trump was totally awesome in the rain yesterday.
So was the crowd of Latinos!
On ‘Democracy’
Karl Denninger
How many times have you heard save our Democracy or some simile of it over your lifetime?
Let me guess — you think we have one, we had one, we live in one or you’d like to live in one?
If so….
You’re fine with the majority deciding that everyone must take an experimental drug — or even a non-experimental one, yes?
You’re fine with the majority insisting on forced business closures on the mere claim that something horrible might happen if not? I remind you that every governor did this, even DeSantis. Personal friends of mine had their bars forcibly closed by the cops during the pandemic — in Florida — and when my home sale closed at the very end of April it was not possible to go have a beer and some food with friends the night before as by state-wide decree all such places were shut down. Spare me your sanctimonious lies as it is a fact that I and close friends sat in a hotel room and had to order our food for delivery.

We are NOT supposed to have a “Democracy.”
“A republic, if you can keep it.”
And with things like direct election of senators, income taxes, and professional politicians without term limits, etc. no, we have not kept it.
Ask the ancient Athenians how well a pure democracy works!
The Founding Fathers knew the mistakes of the ancient Romans and Greeks and of the British government of their day: they took the best of those 3 systems and tried to eliminate the mistakes.
Nevertheless, it seems that Albert Jay Nock’s observation from c. 100 years ago is true: every government – no matter how small and restricted at its beginning – eventually evolves into a criminal enterprise feeding at a continually increasing rate off the wealth of the people.
Ausonius,
Do you have a copy of Madison’s report to the Constitutional Convention reviewing the historical record to determine what worked to preserve liberty versus what systems tended to fall quickly to tyranny or mob rule?
It is clearly a key historical document, but it seems to have been wiped from easy access.
Pure greed and lust for power being the driving forces to achieve that criminal enterprise.
Had the generations just followed the Constitution as written, with a few adjustments via amending it, we would still be a functioning republic. We the People have not kept watch over our founding documents. Most at this point have no idea what they even say or mean and don’t want to know anyway.
Sad state of affairs and one we allowed to happen especially in the last 50 years when it all began to accelerate.
CLARION I agree. If the last 3 years was democracy, we are hurting. Save our Republic!
Its the old two wolves and a sheep deciding on the dinner menu.
Conveniently, the uniparty forgets the US is a Republic, and I think this fact is not even taught in schools anymore.

A righteous rant against covid amnesty:
…We will not forget what you did to us. And we will not forgive what you did to us
In conclusion, Emily, here is my suggestion to you.
Stand in front of your college classes and sincerely apologize to them for the part you played in supporting this atrocity. Then do your best to see to it that the real masterminds of this evil have their day in court and after that … their dose of justice.
And then, my dear Emily, resign in disgrace.
Excellent rant. Should be a must read for everyone. Yes, the psychopathic masterminds are truly evil and I fear they will never receive the consequences they deserve.
If tomorrow there are free and fair elections and conservatives mange to win the house and senate as predicted, the market will rebound. If there is again election theft and surprisingly the democrats come from behind to retain control of the house and senate, the market will continue to falter.
We need to do what we can to peacefully protect free and fair elections in each state.
Respectfully disagree. Short-term, the market is a liquidity meter. Jerome Powell is withdrawing liquidity. The election won’t change that.
Inflation is bad for markets, driving up bond yields and reducing the discounted value of stocks. War is inflationary. The Ukraine war is a bipartisan project of the Uniparty, which likely will appropriate another inflationary $50 billion for it after the election.
We are way past the point now where ‘the authorities’ can prop up the Ponzi scheme. It’s slipped through their hands. Now they are just helpless bystanders, watching the meltdown they provoked.
After the election, there is ‘more flexibility’ for the FED, and the dems still in control of congress, to step up their destruction of the country. And there will be layoffs, reduced earnings or deficits reported which have been delayed.
just my humble opinion
By the way, the only one of the S&P 500’s eleven sectors that’s close to setting a new high is the Energy sector. Chart:
https://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=xle&insttype=&freq=1&show=&time=8
Among other things, energy traders know that “Biden” selling out a third of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve makes the US more vulnerable to a supply shock.
They suspect that an old Wall Street adage applies: ‘He who sells what isn’t his’n, buys it back or goes to prison.’
Bring it, Lord!
After the election, fuel and energy prices will increase which will lead to even higher inflation. Higher inflation will lead to the FED increasing interest rates.

Republican Mega-donor (strange comment)
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/midterm-elections-2022/republican-mega-donor-trump-ken-griffin-b2219463.html
Republican mega-donor Ken Griffin says it’s time for the party to “move on” from Donald Trump, and says he would support a Ron DeSantis presidential candidacy.
Mr Griffin, the head of investment firm Citadel, has given $60m to GOP candidates and campaigns in the 2022 midterm cycle, and told Politico he had tired of Mr Trump.
“He did a lot of things really well and missed the mark on some important areas. And for a litany of reasons, I think it’s time to move on to the next generation.”
Mr Griffin donated $5m to Mr DeSantis’s reelection campaign for Florida governor, and said he didn’t know if he would seek higher office.
“It’s a huge personal decision. He has a tremendous record as governor of Florida, and our country would be well-served by him as president,” Mr Griffin told Politico.
The billionaire hedge fund manager told Politico he had tried to mend fractured relationships between Republicans and corporate America.
He said the revocation of Disney’s special tax status during a dispute over passing anti-LGBTQ legislation “felt like retribution”.
The problem with Ken Griffin… he CAN’T understand what is fundamentally Donald Trump. Pres. Trump has been everything Conservatives have been hoping for. He fights, unashamedly for the forgotten Man and Woman that Mr. Griffin hopes to ignore once again.
Donald Trump is also our Avatar and big middle finger to the likes of Mr. Griffin. The other thing Donald Trump is, he is a sign that Conservatives have “moved on” as a party from his likes and the likes of the Jeb “Please Clap” crowd.
We don’t need Ken Griffin and he’s free to spend his money on losers as much as he likes, while we endorse and stand behind MAGA and WIN.
He knows exactly what PDJT and MAGA is, which is why he feels threatened by it and so desperately wants everyone to just ‘move on’ from him.
GFY ken griffin!
Feel free to add MAGA values:
We kneel to God, not government.
We never ever give up.
We dream Bigly…
When in the course of human events…
We hold these truths to be self evident….
The Bill of Rights…
The American Constitution…
Free, Fair and Honest elections…
Problem that we need to correct and I do believe it can be done….is the amount of money Mr. Griffith is allowed to donate ….The fact that corporations can donate….PAC can donate….To do away with this would solve a host of issues. Including how much it takes to actually run for office. Got to make it an issue….They have us running around in circles so much that no one really addresses it anymore.
I’m afraid that’s going to be the pseudo-conservative / RINO mantra for the next two years… get used to it.
Boy howdy. I remember the fights over 2015 candidates that happened daily for months
I remember the big board of 16 candidates that Sundance would whittle down one by one with x’s as they dropped out.
Ted and his Canadian Flag and little Marco with his water bottle.
Hard to believe we might see that again.
No shortage of stupid Republicans I guess!
Say what you will about Chris Christie (who I loathe), his take down of Lil Narco in that debate was something to behold.
It’s really a shame that Christie chose the swamp over America First because he had skills.
Now he’s just a washed up slob.
Loved the fact that Trump brought back the Old style of campaigning….actually made it fun to watch. Trump held back no punches. Just like the dig at RD. Can argue about the timing but Trump never followed PC.
isn’t there something about they can keep the remainder of their
campaign funds not used? Or am I dreaming this happened? LOL
Again if political party was controlled in who/how much they could give to their candidate ..it would solve a lot of problems. Party has too much control over who the candidate is. One bright spot…money seems to matter less and less….but it still matters because of the lo info. If only we were as politically in tune as the Brazlian people a lot of this would not be happening….I pray that they will prevail in getting the President they voted for. They see what happened to us and to their credit they get out and protest.
How much more of a splitter strategy with infiltration from within can you get? Anyone find it curious that he’s getting what looks like softball coverage in places like Politico?
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/11/06/gop-megadonor-desantis-24-ken-griffin-00065274
The things that “don’t define his interest“ just happen to be some of the core issues that seem to demand a strong stance. Note also the thing that he reportedly wants to “blunt“, and then consider who has that in common with him. But just keep putting up those labels of him as GOP/Republican:
“While he’s supporting one of this cycle’s biggest culture warriors in DeSantis, Griffin said most hot-button issues — abortion rights, battles over sex education and LGBTQ rights — don’t define his interests. He wants to improve the diversity of the GOP and blunt the vein of populism that has complicated the party’s relationship with the corporate world — two things he’s consulted with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy about.”
“As an example, Griffin openly disagreed with DeSantis’ provocative move to fly nearly 50 Venezuelan migrants from Texas to Martha’s Vineyard this summer. It struck a personal chord with Griffin, who grew up in Boca Raton playing soccer with Latino immigrants. And DeSantis’ blow up with Disney World — one of the state’s largest employers — this spring also ran afoul of Griffin’s focus on mending Republican relationships with corporate America. After the company criticized the governor and GOP-controlled state legislature for passing contentious LGBTQ legislation, dubbed the “don’t say gay” law, DeSantis led a successful push to dismantle its longstanding “independent special district” status. “I have no qualms with the very public fight,” Griffin said, “but the revocation of Disney’s special tax district felt like retribution.”“
If Ron steps into this slot being created for him by Ken, He will be Jeb “please clap” Bush.
Just once I would love to see one of these politicians suck all of the money out of the room and then totally ignore them.
DeSantis isn’t a traitorous crook like McCain was, but look for the same media dynamic. Every time DeSantis says anything that can be contorted into an anti-Trump statement, the media will be all over it with accolades for RD. Just like Pavlov’s Dogs, the media rewarded McCain whenever he said the ‘right thing’. Hopefully DeSantis won’t go down that same path.
McStain is currently right where he should have been about 50 years ago. America would have been a better place
how about increasing ‘diversity” by adding voters other than corporate CEOs? PDJT has increased black and hispanic voters. And ‘blue collar’ voters who actually work. And voters who are completely ignored by the GOPe corporates, and the dem corruptocrats. That is tremendous increase in diversity !!!
Who is RDS’s #2? Jeanette Nunez.
Who is Florida’s first Hispanic female Supreme Court justice? Barbara Lagoa. She’s now a federal judge.
Who appointed her? Ohhhhh. That’s right. RDS.
What was that about Hispanic voters, again? You think they are not seeing the RESULTS RDS delivers for them in participation and upholding family values that the Catholic community cherishes? Really?
You can slam RDS all that you want, but hiring top diverse conservative talent for the state is a strong point of his and one where he does not need to take a back seat to anyone.
Nunez was a rabid never Trumper who had to erase much of her social media.
I suspect Mr. Griffin has profited handsomely from profligate Federal Government spending … esp. on FAILED “clean, green energy boondoggles.
DW employs who?
I suggest he keep pumping the money, it might stimulate the economy. It will not however, take the faithful away from Trump.
“Consequence” caused by bad behavior, not “retribution”.
When disney was a positive entertainment contributor, special tax status is perhaps justified. When disney became a purveyor of destructive propaganda, special tax status is absolutely not justified.
MAGA is changing politics, and the old ways just aren’t working any more.
Debates USED to be thought to not actually have much effect on outcomes.
$ was thought to be EVERYTHING.
NOT any more.
Very true Dutchman.
Use to be that the candidate with the biggest “war chest” always won.
Not so much any more.
The old playbook that the Uniparty is using or trying to use on us is just not working.
We are now moving the pieces around the game board ourselves, the citizens and voters are long past the “cloward and piven” tired old stuff and the worn out Saul Alinsky has been strategies.
Doesn’t China own controlling interest in DW and Holly Wood in general? Just look at Movies and Music. Quality /creativity have gone way down
No finer example than having the reboot of Red Dawn being North Korea and not China
There’s a whole separate article about Griffin backing DeSantis Sundance posted yesterda, and a lot of good conversation about it. I hope everyone checks it out.
Corporate America needs to mend the fences with “We the People”, not Republicans.
The RNC has always been the party of ‘big money’ who just took us in…
Both wings of that diseased Unibird view “We the People” as their ATM. That has got to stop. Now.
I know, I am repetitive…
Leftist brain damage from Bloomberg, in an article about how screwed New England is this winter:
‘New England and the Mid-Atlantic are more reliant on gas than ever. Coal-fired power plants have shut in droves. Wind turbines and solar farms haven’t sprouted up quickly enough to replace them.‘
https://news.yahoo.com/us-northeast-hurtling-toward-winter-130007857.html
Wait, Wokester – stop right there!
Intermittent wind and solar do not ‘replace’ base-load coal plants, which run 24/7.
Only “Joe Biden” would say something that stupid. And his brain looks like Swiss cheese.
“Wind turbines and solar farms haven’t sprouted up quickly enough to replace them.”
I thought that all the Jolly “Green New Deal” giant had to do was sprinkle some of those magic wind and solar farm seeds around the countryside here and there and viola! new and massive amounts of power generation plants would just sprout up?!
WTF?!
That fairytale ain’t true?!?!
Now THIS is a powerful ad. Take note, RDS.
I see JD Vance as a rising star–what are the details on him?
Here’s a link to the website where you can get “the details.”
Issues – JD Vance for Senate Inc.
PDJT mocked him at his rally telling the world Vance isn’t his own man, but belongs to PDJT like RDS belongs to Griffin. Telling the world that Vance “needed” PDJT and therefore “kissed PDJT’s ass” in such a public venue is vulgar and ridiculous. No man destroys another like that in public unless they are mortal enemies. If I were Vance, I’d remember that insult for a long time, tuck it somewhere to grow, and deliver revenge cold as ice when the time comes.
PDJT makes more own goals with his repulsive urge to denigrate everyone else in order to make himself look larger than any politician I have ever heard.
Discretion, alliance, and working with others as humans and equals on shared projects (like MAGA) are not ideas he cherishes or cares about. If he is reelected, he will HAVE to work with these people and he will need to “kiss their butts” if the RINOs and Dems trot out some other b.s. impeachment scheme. I am not sure that he can count on loyalty when he publicly mocks and denigrates those for whom he campaigns.
Personally, I am glad RDS has stayed far away. Why go for a “struggle session” and “ass kicking” from an egomaniac? This movement isn’t about PDJT’s power and self-aggrandizement, unless he sees that We the People are a joke.
From where I sit, it looks more and more like PDJT is so full of himself that his ego has eclipsed everyone else in the room. I am appalled at what was done to Vance. Everyone should be. Nobody deserves that kind of treatment from someone who has been treated with respect and deference (a sincere request to endorse/campaign for Vance). Nobody.
I wouldn’t take it. How many MEN here would?
What Gov Ron better understand real fast is that President Trump controls the playing field as he is the ultimate splitter if he chooses to be. If they freeze him out, he can run as third party and peel off enough votes to deny Republican victory. They are playing with fire and they will end up getting burned.
XX double-crossed President Trump and MAGA………..for GOPe $$$$
He might as well make the Governor be his swan song and become a charter boat captain.
Nah. He’ll run against Scott or Rubio. And win. You haven’t seen the last of RDS.
Ron may not understand that, but the GOPe plutocrats certainly do, and they are okay with Democrats winning. Remember the DNC and GOPe are two wings on the same vulture.
WAKE UP. After Perot, both wings of the Uniparty worked together to insure the threat of a viable “3 rd party” was neutralised, by infiltrating and destroying the remains of Perots party (which DJT witnessed, first hand), by infiltrating and controlling the “established 3rd parties” (libertatian, green, etc.) and by changing the State regulations, to make it virtually impossible to create a viable “3rd party” run for POTUS.
DJT is a MASTER at figuring out how to ‘get around’ such roadblocks, and he has; create a “3rd party” by infiltrating and establishing MAGA control over the R State parties.
The effort is ongoing, but we are seeing this effort play out, in tomorrows election.
By 2024, he will insure ENOUGH delegates to the Republican National Convention that to deny him the nomination will result in riots that will make 1968 Dem convention look like a picnic.
Sounds familiar. Maybe the FBI will send them some thugs to help out…..
AP: The president of the TSE (Superior Electoral Court), Alexandre de Moraes, announced that all the people in Brazil who question the electoral results “will be treated as criminals”.
According to Clyburn we are all Nazis. These are evil bassturds. His intimidation is sure fire proof of their intent to cheat again tomorrow. He wants to build the narrative now.

Praying for these courageous Brazilians, standing up and fighting the EVIL that is invading them. This is what should have happened here in 2020. God help us, help our world!

Just another day on the border…
Same here:
Naming an American southern border town, “Normandy”, is just asking for trouble.
The number of invaders exceed the number of Allies who stormed the beaches.
That’s allot of additional globull warmning, green house gas emitting,polluting invaders with their ‘stinkin’ carbon footprints, wonder why the so called “Environmentalists” are not protesting against it? LOL
I hope people understand that our Border Patrol does nothing to actually protect our border.
These men and woman are wonderful and hard working but Congress has tied their hands and now they are not much more than baby sitters for the illegal invaders entering our country via the southern border.
They can do little to repel and often must assist the illegals to safety in the illegal aliens attempt to enter the USA illegally.
We badly need our military on the border but in an active mode, not the useless supportive mode that they have been sent down there to act in.
We are in deep deep trouble and are being used by the vicious drug cartels in their smuggling of drugs and humans for their income.
We now have a little more than 35% of Mexico’s total population smuggled here illegally and are on the way to being forced to receive I do not know how many of the rest of the worlds unwanted, uneducated, unskilled population.
We can only guess as to how many illegals are here now 40 to 65 million which is the total population of a lot of European countries.
I don’t see any migrants.
I do see ILLEGAL ALIENS.
They should be called that and treated as such……….with EXTREME prejudice.
Armed invaders in massive numbers.
Armed Globull Warming Green House Gas emitters!
I agree. It’s an ongoing conversation on Twitter with Melugin.
He will not call them by their correct name
They are NOT migrants…they are ILLEGAL ALIENS.
😡 😡 😡
Youtube would probably ban him if he called them illegal
Free-range humans.
Very true and so many who can not read or write in their own language and are carrying who knows what diseases.
The Open Border is a conglomeration of Trojan Horses.
How many “sleeper cells” were included in those FIVE MILLION – waiting for the call from their homeland to reek havoc on the United States?
Remember this admission from Time magazine just a month after Joe Biden took office: “A well-funded cabal of powerful people, ranging across industries and ideologies, working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage and control the flow of information.” These are THEIR WORDS. A “cabal” influencing the election kind of sounds EXACTLY like what Democrats accuse Republicans of doing.
Here is a little Freedom Convoy News.
The Federal Government of Canada is dragging their feet regarding confirmation that Freedom Convoy leaders will receive trial by jury. Canada does not trust Albertans.

Giving away our country….
Feds paid for room service, laundry and babysitters for illegal border crossers kept at hotels –
The Homeland Security Department not only put illegal immigrant families in hotels at taxpayer expense but the contract it signed also insisted that they be given five-star treatment with laundry service, mattress choices and guards — not to keep them in, but to keep others out.
Some of those contracting details were revealed by America First Legal, a conservative group run by former top Trump aides, which obtained documents through an open-records request and called some of the accommodations for illegal immigrants “astounding.”
Immigrants were given the option of meat at every meal, 24-hour access to drinks and snacks, babysitters to watch their children, television with programming in English and Spanish, and choices of mattresses for their beds

they are sending the US military down to the border to act as valets and grounds keepers to the destruction wrought by Slo Joe’s invasion…….what do you expect?
Passing this along from another blog. It concerns the fuel distribution around the world and what Russia is doing.
Allot of great information packed into this video. A few major items stand out.
While he focuses upon shipping and issues Maritime, Campbell did not mention a couple of key points that impacts the shipping.
The drop in US Consumer demand.
The “2 Quarters of GDP” growth are not based on actual US Economic performance and are actually artificial.
The major issue that does impact Maritime issues, he does not mention until the very end of the video is the major change in International Maritime Regulations regarding Sulfur and Carbon Emissions, which take effect on 1 January 2023. Those emission reductions are a major driver in hull scrap rates due to cost of scrubbers and driving cost of new hulls being built.
He scrambles his talking points in a way that makes his report seems disconnected to key points outside actual Maritime issues and flow. One is left to connect the many of the dots on their own time.
This report also highlights the vulnerability of the main street economy to…
Oil Pipe Line Shut downs or new operating regulations.
Distributors choosing to export oil for higher profits.
The vulnerability of domestic deliveries to rail and over road disruptions due to emission regulations, illegal fees and “union” actions no matter if justified or not.
Also, not discussed was how the US Ship Building Industry continues to erode to near zero due to cost of new hulls, due to inability to compete with foreign builders. Focusing on building US focused hulls will eventually force the Federal Government to either subsidize or take over the US focused Merchant Fleet. This one will soon bite even deeper into the US Navy’s ability to build new hulls inside the US, due to cost.

Looks like the Pascagoula, MS shipyard run by Ingalls is still running, for now. I have had multiple family members cycle through years at Ingalls. It will be a sad day if we have to go begging some third world sh!thole to build hulls. Very sad, indeed.
While all the war dances are in progress to say DeSantis is good or bad … and there are other better MAGA candidates … or President Trump has to run for offcie in 2024, put this in your pipe and smoke it for impact.
The very SAME “Puppet Masters”, “Donors”, MAGA Lights and in some cases Uni-Party Members snuggling up to DeSantis and others are the SAME ones with whom President Trump (the Gold Standard of MAGA Presidents) compromised and made deals on the road to the 100’s of successes he was able to pull off 2017 to 2020.
In fact, President Trump is still making compromises and deals as he works at being the King Maker.
Get over it. Compromises will be made and if nothing has become apparent over the past 2-years, there will be compromises and unsavory decisions made to move any form of MAGA agenda forward.
You, Sir, are wrong. Trump indicated from his own mouth that he had to make deals or compromises because he did not have adequate leverage.
Fast forward and the 2020 election is stolen and more and more Republicans, Democrats and Independents are awake and leaning MAGA than ever. Now those same people have very little leverage at all.
As Sundance has been wisely and vigilantly cautioning about DeSantis, there has been a protracted search for a candidate that the big money could invest in that could build enough political capital to generate leverage with Trump.
Remember that the entire reason the uniparty and deep state apparatus went apocalyptic on Trump and MAGA is because they had no lever of control on it.
Bla bla bla … you proved my point with your first and last sentences.
Read what you write before saying I am wrong.
No need to be disrespectful. You obviously didn’t understand one of the fundamental points of your own post.
Compromise is only needed when both sides have some varying degree of leverage. And, there is no motive for a MAGA person to compromise toward any globalist uniparty issue or desire unless it is absolutely necessary.
And just for the record, MAGA wishlists benefit everyone except those that want artificial control through corruption and greed.
They had Pence in their back pocket.
We all want a candidate who best represents our interests. We don’t want to hear about HOW they actually get the job done. Our information-rich modern society makes it difficult to sift through the chaff in our hunt for facts.
Give us the sausage, don’t confuse us with the gruesome description of how it is made.
There will never be a “perfect” candidate. We need to try and focus on what the individual has accomplished. For me, President Trump got a lot done with which I agreed. Much of his efforts to do anything were stymied by the uniparty. I have seen no other candidate for president even close to furthering the cause of the Republic.
Good post, thedocoo. Unfortunately, many will continue with the war dances. It’s in our nature.
It’s good to know how the sausage is made. You might decide you don’t want to eat the sausage.
And that is absolutely the case for most of us here in the Treehouse. Sadly, the average citizen would prefer to enjoy their smoky links in blissful ignorance.
Then do not complain when there is MAGA sausage of any brand to eat.
I agree Inkarnata.
I want to know.
Has DeSantis ever mentioned the words MAGA or America First? The issue is loyalty. Trump may have to compromise but his decisions are based on what is best for the everyday American people. He works for win/win solutions. On the other hand DeSantis appears to be colluding with anti-MAGA/AF forces to neuter “populist” forces. Those populist forces are the everyday American people, including MAGA supporters.
I don’t know DeSantis’s motivations but the political company he keeps is suspect at best.
President Trump has endorsed him for Florida, answers that point.
President Trump himself is helping to generate the chaos and smoke screen related to 2024 on purpose.
What the heck do you think would happen if Trump didn’t endorse him for Florida?
It doesn’t answer anything!
I don’t think Trump endorsed DeSantis, he simply acknowledged that DeSantis is going to be re-elected.
But if you can find an actual endorsement please do post it here.
He told Floridians to vote for the man. That’s a CLEAR endorsement. “Vote for the guy!”
That’s not an endorsement. When Trump endorses people he says specifically that the person has his official endorsement. Do you understand what endorsement means?
I guess it depends on what your definition of “IS” is….
He said that people should vote for Ron Desantis. There were no wonderful adjectives attached
to the statement.
I’m not even sure he said that. I’ve seen quotes where he’s said people are going to vote for DeSantis. But that aside, what Trump said is not an endorsement. We’ve all heard Trump talk about his endorsements and he has particular language, using terms like “I officially endorse”, or similar. He has never said that about DeSantis. I read DeSantis didn’t want Trump’s endorsement, and we know why ….
Funny I don’t remember any “Puppet Masters” “Donors”, etc. snuggling up to Trump on trade, building the wall, bringing middle class jobs back to America, having NATO countries provide more of the funding for defense or favoring a realignment economically with CHINA?
Matter of fact I can’t remember any Republican candidate for President ever bringing up these policy issues unless they favored the traditional globalist approach.
Hell, Trump couldn’t even do anything about Obamacare because of all this compromising. Get over yourself because Trump may not be the perfect MAGA but I haven’t seen his equal in my lifetime.
Isn’t the allure of Trump the fact that he is an independently wealthy outsider who can’t be bought. He certainly could have given in and compromised on these issues above(and maybe he did), but I saw very little change in policy from what he ran on when he was a Presidential candidate.
The problem with DeSantis is who he is aligning himself with financially, especially with respect to his political donors. All I see are Chamber of Commerce Multi-national companies who favor the traditionalist global aligned world which has been sucking American jobs away for decades now. Since Ross Perot warned us on these fake free-trade agreements a long time ago.
Limit donor funding…..corporations are not individuals…..PAC donations.?…..solves a lot of problems.
Did RINO Paul Ryan endorse Trump or DeSantis for 2024? 🙂

INTERNET GETS MEMETICS WRONG
The blizzard of internet “memes” aren’t really memes. What we see are mostly political or cultural slogans. But, meme is a lot newer and shinier label than admitting that we have become slogan junkies.
Richard Dawkins used the term “meme” in his 1976 book “The Selfish Gene” to describes a memory replicator equivalent of genetic natural selection.
“Meme”
By Kara Rogers
At Britannia.com
Quotes:
“Dawkins conceived of memes as the cultural parallel to biological genes and considered them, in a manner similar to “selfish” genes, as being in control of their own reproduction and thus serving their own ends. Understood in those terms, memes carry information, are replicated, and are transmitted from one person to another, and they have the ability to evolve, mutating at random and undergoing natural selection, with or without impacts on human fitness (reproduction and survival). The concept of the meme, however, remains largely theoretical. It is also controversial, given the notion of selfishness and the application of the concept to the evolution of cultures, which formed the basis for the field of memetics.”
“Within a culture, memes can take a variety of forms, such as an idea, a skill, a behaviour, a phrase, or a particular fashion. The replication and transmission of a meme occurs when one person copies a unit of cultural information comprising a meme from another person. The process of transmission is carried out primarily by means of verbal, visual, or electronic communication, ranging from books and conversation to television, e-mail, or the Internet. Those memes that are most successful in being copied and transmitted become the most prevalent within a culture.”
“Richard Dawkins on the internet’s hijacking of the word ‘meme’”
By Olivia Solonscience
06/20/2013
At wired.co.uk
Quote:
“…Dawkins explains how an “internet meme” is a hijacking of the original idea and that instead of mutating by random change and spreading by a form of Darwinian selection, they are altered deliberately by human creativity. Unlike with genes (and Dawkins’ original meaning of “meme”), there is no attempt at accuracy of copying; internet memes are deliberately altered.”
Well, on this, Dawkins may be wrong. Human creativity, learning, and problem solving would seem to be the way that memes come into existence.
So what?
Knowing where words came from helps us maintain some precision on the actual meaning of words, which is absolutely necessary for accurate communication –
At least for those who think accurate communication matters.
Yeah, like man and woman. Like vaccine. Like marriage and on and on….. this has happened to many words not just “memes”. Mr. Dawkins shouldn’t be so angry. The hijacking of “memes” is small potatoes by comparison. The words I spelled out have been around as long as mankind has existed. Well, a lot longer anyway.
“The president of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), Alexandre de Moraes, warned Thursday that protests and anti-democratic acts that oppose the results of Sunday’s elections “will be fought with the law” and those responsible punished, while the police try to unblock the mobilizations that have disrupted traffic in several cities for the past four days.”
https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/world/brazil-s-tse-warns-that-those-who-criminally-deny-election-results-will-be-punished/ar-AA13HLuE
Here is a report from August on the person via Agencia France-Presse (AFP). Look at how “defense of democracy“ is highlighted:
‘Elections in Brazil: Alexandre de Moraes, Bolsonaro’s relentless opponent who will preside over the electoral court’
https://newsrebeat.com/world-news/80056.html
“But he turned his Twitter account into a space to mark the location on burning issues of Brazilian life. Like last Thursday, when he showed his support for a massive event in São Paulo in “defense of democracy”, a response to criticism from Bolsonaro, who questions – without proof – the reliability of electronic voting in Brazil.
“The president is trying to undermine the credibility of the electoral system, an act unprecedented since the re-democratization in 1985, says André César, an analyst at consulting firm Hold. Attacks on the electoral system have fueled fears that it could be a strategy to do so ignore any defeat in front of Luna. As president of the TSE, Moraes he will be in charge of dealing with any offensive at the crucial moment, a task that could be the most challenging of his career. Moraes “will have to lead the TSE with iron hand so as not to collapse the electoral system “, anticipates César.”
I see they included the obligatory State narrative, “without proof.”
They’ll just keep repeating that until they think everyone believes it. Albeit without proof.
Here is an article about the Canadian dollar. This tripe can be written about any currency other than the US dollar.

A Chinese company purchased 1,400 acres in Florida to warehouse monkeys that it will bring in from other countries, which it will then ship all over the USA. So, a massive, industrial scale, invasive species operation controlled by China, right here in the USA. What could possibly go wrong?
Oh, and right under DeSantis’s nose. Soon monkeys can join those giant pythons, iguanas, and African snails as the newest invasive species in Florida’s ecosystem.

Why are states letting any foreign nationals purchase their sovereign land. Make a law.
.
From the above linked NY Post article:
“On September 22, the governor held a press conference in Miami to unveil proposed legislation designed to counteract malign influence by China and other hostile nations through, among other means, prohibiting certain land purchases. Additionally, the governor signed Executive Order 22-216 to prohibit state entities from procuring technology products and services from companies owned by, controlled by, or domiciled in China and other foreign countries of concern.”
So, Gov. DeSantis is apparently making such a law. Hope other states follow suit.
The purchase was made in Levy County and in order to build the type facility they want, the land will have to be re-zoned. I’ve sent a letter to the Levy County tax office and to Gov. DeSantis’ office advocating denial of re-zoning. Will try to follow up as the spotlight is now on the purchase.
The county does not seem interested in “spot zoning,” which is against the rights and interests of surrounding landowners and results in ‘patchwork’ zones that cater to special interests.
I don’t think anybody wants the monkey business to go forward in Levy.
RDS “unveiled proposed legislation” does not mean that it will get done. With all of the “Fall Back” over the weekend, I had many people tell me that falling back and springing forward ends in 2023. So I did a quick internet search and saw that the US Senate did vote to repeal this insanity of switching our clocks back and forth. HOWEVER, the bill died in the House. Yes, they could get money to Ukraine at the drop of a hat. But repealing the clock switching was too much for the House to address.
So, what I am saying is that a lot of politicians propose legislation with much fanfare in front of the cameras but after the media departs nothing happens. But people “remember” that someone said that something was going to happen. It is on the same level as “the sternly worded letter”, “the hard-hitting questions” in the Senate chamber, “the faux outrage” on Fox news, and “the upset Tweet”. It is all theatre for those who have short memories.
RDS and Abbott are both doing just enough to placate their constituents before anyone figures out that nothing will really get done.
Could have sworn someone commented here that DeSantis “stopped” this sale from going through–so did China really buy the land?
They bought it back in September from L & T Cattle & Timber LLC, which is owned by Steven and Justin Lamb
The massive trade deficits caused by the Clinton/Lott/Gingrich WTO creation and leveraging China into it over many member nations objections (Chinese money to the Clinton’s & others) has enabled China to buy up America. They also steal technology or are given it like the criminal Clinton Admin did.
They are holding the bag on the land. Chi-Chi bought the land without seeing to the feasibility of rezoning first. Stupid is as stupid does. Now they will have to offload it in an unfavorable real estate market. LOL.
Love Bugs!
Sorry to burst your I Hate DeSantis bubble, but take a look at the facts:
https://nypost.com/2022/11/02/florida-land-buy-for-chinese-primate-testing-wont-end-well/
FTA: ‘In a statement to Fox News Digital, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ office said the purchase is an example of the type of activity by China that the governor is trying to stop.
“The governor has been consistently opposed to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)’s growing influence in Florida, and this proposed facility is a prime example of the type of activity that we are acting to prohibit,” read the statement.
“On September 22, the governor held a press conference in Miami to unveil proposed legislation designed to counteract malign influence by China and other hostile nations through, among other means, prohibiting certain land purchases. Additionally, the governor signed Executive Order 22-216 to prohibit state entities from procuring technology products and services from companies owned by, controlled by, or domiciled in China and other foreign countries of concern.”’

Which side are you on?
THOSE ARE DEM PARTY PHONE NUMBERS
REMOVE YOUR COMMENT! YOU JUST POSTED A BUNCH OF PHONE NUMBERS FOR THE DEM PARTY!
Did you not bother to look up even a single one???
LOl, call the numbers to report democrat vote fraud. Over your head as usual.
The purpose of the numbers posted is probably to remind Democrats to “call if you witness or experience voter intimidation or harrassment” which, of course, is the narrative they want to promote against “violent right wingers.”
So if you’re Democrat, you call and cry and whine about someone who gave you the evil eye at the polling station., and, if you’re lucky, you get your 15 secs of fame on CNN.
Where did you read anything about Democrats? There’s no mention of Democrats in Colkitto’s original post or his/her response to another person. Colkitto didn’t bother to vet the info, it would have taken 1 minute to do it.
Now you are lying, Colkitto. Look back at your original comment and the person who thanked you for it, along with your response.
I’ve seen you do this before, you fail to vet the info you publish here. In this case you could have checked just one number and discovered that they were Dem Party phone numbers. But you didn’t bother, you were in a hurry, and now you’re trying to cover up your mistake by lying about it.
Your comment should be removed by the admins.
votesaveamerica.com is a leftist site.
On its donation page : “We can elect a Democratic majority that takes decisive action on raising the minimum wage, forgiving student debt, fighting climate change, protecting reproductive freedom, and more.”
I think it would be hilarious to report voter fraud committed by dems to the dems. They would be so excited to hear about it until you told them that it was their side doing it. Funny to me.
It wouldn’t be funny to a conservative who experienced voter intimidation or some other problem and called the number thinking they would be able to report the problem.

Rail Strike
07 November 2022
Upland, California
My current working paradigm that OGUS/WEF are methodically destroying United States. OGUS/WEF wants this strike but do not want to lose those elections they do not control. OGUS/WEF obviously can steal some elections but not all.
Under my current working paradigm, this strike is likely to occur after elections.
https://michaelyon.locals.com/
The railroads could prevent this strike tomorrow if they would only treat their train drivers and their track maintenance workers with a thimble of respect.
As for me, these two groups of people should be regarded as the “rock stars” of any railroad operation, since you absolutely cannot have “a railroad” without both of them every day doing the very best job that they can. But stubborn “suits” in the ivory towers refuse to see it that way. They’re just about to get what’s coming to them – needlessly.
Living by the Major East / West double NORFOLK SOUTHERN rail line between Chicago and Elkhart, Indiana for FEEDING Michigan and the EAST COAST – TRAFFIC was down for SEVERAL MONTHS due to Lack of INTERMODEL Containers, BUT Has Picked Back Up in the past Weeks.
TANKER TRAINS are NOT as Numerous as During the TRUMP Presidency and STEEL Transport is DOWN Also. TANKERS go to the EAST COAST.
The Rail Line is Used by NS and Canadian Northern / Burlington Northern Santa Fe – MULTIPLE Locomotives
https://www.acwr.com/economic-development/rail-maps/class-i-freight-carriers
Is it possible that those who run the railroads are part of WEF? This seems to be the case across other industries.
If so, and if taking down the system and country to ‘build back better’ is the goal, then pushing rail employees, and other employees, over the edge is part and parcel of the game.
UNION train drivers are now “Rock Stars”?
I’ll go with the cashiers at Walmart who actually worked with the public during the very beginning of the Covid Hoax before anyone suspected it was all a fraud. Remember them? Cashiers at mom and pop stores were capable of spreading this future pandemic, but big box store cashiers could not. How absolutely terrifying must that have been for these poor people!
Weren’t these same rock star train engineers in the very union that forced railroad companies to keep firemen on the payroll when all the trains were diesel electric and no one was needed to shovel coal?
Anyone that does an honest day’s work is a rock star.
Oh my goodness . Elon Musk tweet just told independent voters to vote Republican.
How long is that Section 230 thing going to last now?
Plus, he is putting up some other very funny stuff. Not exactly family viewing, but funny.
Ben Carlisle Tweet about suing employer for vaccine injury. Nothing new from 3 days ago.
In a debt-based economy, ’employers’ are generally shells that run on debt to the benefit of their principals and/or shareholders. I’d watch to see how many of these suits are taken on pro-bono. Lawyers are a smart bunch when it comes to making money.
Suing big pharma can gain notoriety far in excess of any monetary gains. Suing a mom and pop corporation that promptly shuts its doors and dissolves with few assets of value and/or seeks bankruptcy protection, not so much.
The problem with the mandates is that they were sweeping events, across entire swaths of the U.S. workforce, not simply a few employees who claim unfair/improper/illegal discharge.
Lastly, expecting or seeking equity in a justice system already proven biased in the election fraud and Covid arenas is tenuous, at best. I applaud those who try but am also realistic about the legal system. Those lessons in reality started nearly 50 years ago. IDK, perhaps I’m sufficiently uncompelling to get lawyers to work for me for free. It’s always been quite expensive IME. Justice, in general, is very expensive.
Who pays? We do, either directly or in the cost of goods and services, or as taxpayers. There is no free lunch.
Every state requires employers to pay into an insurance system or carry insurance. For employers who fail to do that, there is a state fund that pays out.
The entities on the hook are the big insurance companies that have this book of business. And their reinsurer is most likely Lloyd’s of London.
Interesting times. I am unaware of the ability to get a jury trial in a workers compensation case. Usually it is an administrative law judge, with the ruling appealable to a court. But maybe his state does it differently.
You just need to prove an employment related injury. Damages are according to a set schedule. No punitive damages are available though.
For a large employer with 1,000 jab injured employees, this could clog up the system for years.
Imagine if President Trump did this!

Electrolux to eliminate 3,500 to 4,000 jobs companywide
https://upstatebusinessjournal.com/jobs/electrolux-to-eliminate-3500-to-4000-jobs/
Electrolux had just expanded operations due to PDJT and MAGA policies and is now laying off massively because of the Biden/Uniparty Globalist anti-American policies. This is sadly a sterling example of MAGA vs Anti-Maga
“The home appliance and refrigerator manufacturer, which has a plant in Anderson (South Carolina) where roughly 2,000 people work, reported supply chain issues, inflation and higher interest rates contributed to an overall dampening of consumer sentiment, particularly in North America, leading to a drop in demand.”
“Regarding business area North America, I am obviously very disappointed with our performance,” President and CEO Jonas Samuelson said.”
“The $35 million operating loss was primarily driven by the North American market, as consumers began to pull back from big-ticket purchases.”
“The layoffs come just months after Electrolux completed an expansion on its now 1.6-million-square-foot facility in Anderson. The $250 million, 800,000-square-foot plant expansion allowed the plant to build stand-alone freezers, in addition to refrigerators. The facility, at 101 Masters Blvd. in Anderson (South Carolina), was completed last year, and Electrolux transitioned to the new facility in early 2022.”
So sad and avoidable…FJB and the ones running this sh*t show
The government and federal reserve have in the past tried to avoid recessions or recover from them. Now they are purposefully sending us into one of the biggest ones since the great depression. I doubt that they have the skill or wisdom to know how to fix what they are about to do. What a terrible tragedy.
Its sad because Electrolux had expanded and hired more Americans because of PDJT anti-globalist pro-american MAGA policies. It was like PDJT was reversing the globalist traitorous policies of CFR Clinton and his Republican Uniparty majority congress during the 90’s and CFR Bush & Obama various anti-american pro-globalist legislation. PDJT found that “magic wand” that Obama said would be needed to bring the jobs back that those traitors shipped out.
On another note, my company was just told of a hiring freeze and they are expecting a terrible 2023. My question is, why is not all Americans MAGA? Ty for your astute post. And yes it is a tragedy of “their” making. I am praying America can stop them and get some justice.
Thought experiment. Timing of Trump’s probable indictment after elections. Will the occupant “graciously” step down/resign……as only the 2nd POTUS to resign (see we gave you one) and then Trump will be indicted?
There is literally nothing to indict him FOR. See: “Navy v. Eagan.”
Doesn’t matter. The indictment will continue to tie him up legally. That’s the entire purpose, to keep him from releasing any information. (“I got them all.”)
The new data is looking even worse!

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/algeria-officially-applies-to-join-brics-bloc/2731976
Algeria has officially applied to join the BRICS economic group.
The bloc of emerging economies includes Russia, Brazil, India, China and South Africa.
Foreign Ministry official Leyla Zarruki said the North African country has requested membership of the economic bloc, the state radio reported.
Zarruki said Algeria has finalized all necessary measures for membership, without any further details.
In July, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboun signaled willingness to join the bloc, saying BRICS “attracts Algeria’s attention.”
“Joining this group will take Algeria, the pioneer of the non-alignment principle, away from the attraction of the two poles,” he said.

Corporatocracy: New Study From Harvard Ph.D. Finds Google “Shifting Votes On a Massive Scale!”
Thus far, he has identified “about a dozen new forms of online manipulation” that use the ephemeral experiences controlled primarily by Google.

Any New Yorkers here? Or know anyone from New York? Please help pass the word regarding the NY AG race which has gotten little to no attention in the press.
For the love of our President Trump if for nothing else, we need to oust the current dem AG who has waged endless lawfare against him, using the power of her 700 attorney office. She’d like to jail him under state law where he would not be able to be pardoned by a fuure president.
Up to now the RNC has helped PDJT pay for legal costs in defending against this never ending deluge of NY lawfare. Per the RNC their support ends the moment PDJT declares he is a candidate for 2024.
Moreover, if Zeldin wins we also need her simultaneously ousted from office or she will turn her gaze his way and do everything to block Zeldin’s agenda.
Trafalgar’s October poll shows Republican AG candidate Michael Henry ahead with a slight lead — 1.2% Other polls have him down but within striking distance.
Henry sounds like a good egg. Openly says he will stop and reverse She Who Shall Not Be Named’s anti-Trump lawfare. Michael Henry also says he will focus on Covid justice, esp for the many thousands of nursing home residents who died after Cuomo forced infected patients to be admitted into nursing homes. And of course he’d work well with Zeldin to fight crime.
This race is not being covered in the media. Radio silence. If you are in NY or know anyone in NY please help elect Republican Michael Henry As a gift to PDJT, let’s get that monkey off his back.
Go Michael Henry Go!

CIA Officer Frank Snepp Discusses Planting Stories In Major Newspapers
This December 2020 Politico article is seriously funny. It’s about anti-Trump RINOs who say their work is not done just because Biden became the President. All of the things these people said they were going to do have not come true at all. 🙂 Select excerpts:
Some said they intend to shield Republican lawmakers who stand up to Trump. Others floated forming a third party. And still others want to direct their energies toward rebuilding trust in government and using Trump’s ouster as momentum for reforms on government ethics, taking a page from the post-Watergate playbook.
Hahaha.
Some never-Trump leaders said their biggest potential impact is within the Biden administration and the Democratic Party, not the GOP. They’re looking to leverage friendships they’ve forged within Biden’s circle to pull the new president toward the center — all but ensuring he will be squeezed by the left and right.
Hahahaha.
Bill Kristol, a leading figure in the anti-Trump movement, said that “never-Trump Republicans are a small but potentially important part of the overall Biden governing coalition.” If Biden tries to pass an immigration bill, for instance, they could help by touting provisions popular with Republicans and moderates.
Hahaha. Kristol, another piece of toilet paper stuck to the bottom of our shoe.
There’s more. I do recommend reading it, and laughing. They did get one thing almost right:
a do-nothing Biden presidency would optimize conditions for “another Trump” in four years
Not another Trump. Trump. And not a do-nothing Biden presidency, an abject failure economy-ruining presidency.

NEW – from the judge in the Bannon case granting a stay to his sentencing. Judge says appeal “raises a substantial question of law that is likely to result in a reversal or an order for a new trial”

I wanted to share a communication of LIES I received today from our CEO at a major Health system in the midwest – note: he is also the new board chair for the Chamber of Commerce who coincidentally supports this BS…… isnt this electioneering???
Medicaid expansion KILLS state budgets….
Sanford Family,
South Dakota’s General Election Day is tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov. 8, and I encourage you to exercise your right to vote.
The ballot will include our state’s public office candidates as well as Constitutional Amendment D, which proposes the expansion of Medicaid. To assist you in making an informed decision on Amendment D, here are some facts:
The expansion of Medicaid in South Dakota is a critical opportunity to improve access to care for those who need it most. Minnesota and North Dakota have expanded Medicaid and, as a provider in those states, we’ve seen the positive impact on the health and well-being of our patients.
Sanford Health supports Amendment D and has joined a broad coalition of organizations, including the South Dakota Nurses Association, Greater Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce, South Dakota Association of Healthcare Organizations, South Dakota State Chamber of Commerce, South Dakota Municipal League, South Dakota Education Association, and various patient advocacy groups and other health systems across our state.
In preparation for Nov. 8 and your vote, I encourage you to review the sample ballot available on the SD Secretary of State’s website.
Thank you for joining me in exercising our civic duty by voting in the upcoming General Election.
Sincerely,
Across South Dakota, there are thousands of hard-working adults who do not have access to affordable health care coverage.
I thought Obamacare fixed all of that. (eye roll)
I hate it when employers get political It’s sickening. At my prior job the CEO was big into protections of trannies.
Those “hardworking adults” in SD are likely illegal aliens working on ranches, meat packing, egg farms, etc.
Cells Don’t Lie: Cancer On The Rise Due To MRNA Injections
https://principia-scientific.com/cells-dont-lie-cancer-on-the-rise-due-to-mrna-injections/
Garbage.
Pray tell why? It is well known from anecdotal mention in my circles. People are getting diagnosed at late stage after their injections. One friend is on a colostomy bag at 48 because of this garbage shot. She’s lean, eats right, works out, and takes care of her family with love and devotion. She never had a history and nobody in her family did, either.
Then there are the “multiple cancers” which is very unusual. I know several who are dead after the vaxx with lung (nonsmokers all), colon, and brain cancers. People generally only live weeks after diagnosis following their clotshot.
Sorry to break it to you, but people are getting cancer from this shot. People are dying of strokes and circulatory failure from this shot.
If you took the shot, I pray none of this touches you. Likewise for your loved ones and friends.
But we cannot put our heads in the sand and fail to see what is happening.
This kind of junk science conspiracy theory crap makes conservatives look bad. The other side makes a case that our side is all nutters who have no education and think that the COVID jab makes people magentic and communicate with 5G towers.
I have said this before: there are legitimate reasons to oppose the COVID jab, most notably that it doesn’t stop the transmission of the virus, and it has been documented to cause serious medical problems in some people. There is NO evidence that it causes cancer, and proving a link to some junk science web site or providing your anecdotal “evidence” (I know some people who died) is ridiculous.

Can you delete your comment above with all of the phone numbers to report voter intimidation? Those are Dem Party phone numbers.
Call the Democrats to report Democratic vote fraud. Get it now?
Why not just apologize for your mistake instead of lying to cover it up? It’s clear from your original comment and the reponse to it and your comment to that person that you thought you were being helpful. But in your haste to post your 100th comment of the morning you failed to do any normal vetting. As a result there could be hundreds or even thousands of people who jotted down their state’s number thinking if they have voting problems they can call that number and get some help.
Flood their phone banks.
Exactly! Slainte Slanta!
The humor is lost on you.
Nope. Look at the original post and another person’s response to it. It was intended to be helpful. Some people here (the prolific commenters who clog the forum every day) are in such a hurry to post things they fail to vet the information. And then refuse to admit their error when called out.
Wasting 60k a year oh her…..
