Tucker Carlson discussing the collective DC system (both parties) to fund the Ukraine proxy war against Russia. For the sake of brevity, Tucker is not wrong – but the motive is way worse and far more nefariously connected to our domestic situation than he can outline. {Direct Rumble Link}
I can speak authoritatively about this because I have firsthand knowledge. Additionally, in response to a prior comment, I shared my opinion the State Dept travel advisories over the past two years are not -generally speaking- about U.S. travel security; those advisories are to keep us as caged birds without information. WATCH:
I will be sharing more about my direct experience, but gathering information is not as complicated as most would think. You just have to use common sense, set up solid plans and contacts while being prudent about how you organize your research effort. Suffice to say, on this subject, almost everything we think we understand about the geopolitical issues shared through the prism of western media is purposefully wrong.
Tucker previously said he would never go there because it was entirely too dangerous. Perhaps I thought so too, but if no one ever goes then how do we know.
You see, it is entirely possible to build up fear in your mind. Fear of something, simply because we have been trained to be fearful.
Thankfully, Tucker was wrong, it wasn’t dangerous at all.
Nothing is what it seems.
Our Man in Budapest!
James Bond?🤣😂🤣😂
Bond….. James Bond! :):)
I’ve lived in and in the suburbs of Budapest for over a decade now. It’s a great city, especially compared to American cities or Londinistan or Paris or any German town. Dublin, which I know well, is unlivable, now. (I’ll never get over what population replacement has done to Ireland.)
SD is standing on Castle Hill (First District), looking over the Second District in the distance, as far as I can tell. Every Church on Castle Hill was turned into a mosque by the Turks when they ruled Hungary, and by Islamic law, once a mosque, always a mosque. Hungary was ground zero for existential survival war with Islam for centuries. They definitely have “skin in the game” in all this. Thank God for Viktor Orbán.
And they have no love for the Ukrainians, considering how the Ukrainian government has treated ethnic Hungarians on the Ukrainian side of the border. Ethnic Hungarians make up a significant segment of surrounding countries population, cut off by the West and Woodrow Wilson after World War I. (Esp bitter was the lost of Erdély, or Transylvania, the Hungarian enclave which had never been ruled by the Turks.) So, for the Magyar (Hungarians), they’ve been ill-served by both East and West. Older Hungarians have never let me forget 1956 and their uprising against the Soviets. They actually believed Western propaganda, you see. They thought we’d help. We sent excuses, instead.
The Soviets were defeated, WWll was won; did the EU negate or strengthen the nations who won those wars? Will individual nations survive the Islamic onslaught again or does the NWO/communism have a marked deck to win. Where does communist China fit in?
Will the war of the NWO/communism in the US come to the same battles that overthrew the nations of Europe; will Marxism and Islam be the attempted goals.
While the USA becomes communist will Europe become free nations? Opposites, enemies, in other words; just flipping the chessboard? Continued animosities and wars can proceed?
God Help US
Raghn, thank you for one of the most interesting and engaging posts I’ve read in quite some time.
I would be glad to have you expound at much greater length on your first-person experiences.
Clicking on his name leads to a blog, which might well be his.
I second that!
Will Dublin ever recover?
In Northern CA, we’re a Heinz 57 mix from Asia, India, Central and South America. A friend pragmatically says, “Well, the Mexicans are Christian, so there is something to work with there.”
Teddy Kennedy and the sexual revolution (low birth rates) have come back to haunt us. Pat Buchanan predicted this three decades ago in Death of the West.
Have been through my third copy of “Death of the Westby Buchanan, when it first came out I didn’t think possible, but now,,
Pat Buchanan was always RIGHT.
He was so prescient. Loved the guy. Still do.
Liberal white feminist women will be the downfall of the white race. Look at Ireland, they have to import the 3rd world trash to keep up with employment shortages.
And the majority of the imports do not want to work.
They’re not Christian, they’re Catholic. Big diff.
I live in a largely Catholic country with nice people, but you’ll not find a priest there who will preach on the 10 Commandments, because the violation of them all is routine practice among the populace.
And the apostate state of many Protestant churchgoers is little better, worldwide.
I say that to say this… Those of us of faith will need every ounce of the strength of God to remain true in the days to come… To Him, to each other, to the America we love. I’m not sure I have it, but I’m not sure that God gives it until you must have it.
I’ve heard this many times from those who have been imprisoned, tortured, and treated terribly by persecutors. They all say that you get that supernatural empowerment as you need it, not before. May God give us the grace as we need it.
You are so correct. I can say this from personal experience.
Ah, I see my icon appears or not depending on my email sign-in from the laptop. Gotta remember the right one to use.
I don’t understand why we are using passwords now – it creates a feeling of exclusion for anyone that doesn’t know it.
There is no apparent way to obtain one, so I just walkaway.
I asked Admin, and they told me what it is.
Ditto
same here
I emailed today, thank you!
Email admin at….
[email protected]
Apperently they have not yet created an AI Bot or content crawler sophisticated enough to either scroll thru all of the comments, read all of the hints and figure it out,…or just compose an email and send it to admin, ..
And yet WE are supposed to be afraid that AI is going to take over the WORLD!
I think it has the feel of chicken shi,…chicken little narrative, and isn’t REAL.
As for visiting, just look at ALL of the celebrities and big name pols that insisted on going to Kiev, supposedly in the midst of a war.
Pretty much every one of these rediculous false narratives has at least ONE Glaring hole, one unanswered question, one “Hey, that makes no SENSE” that we have to ignore in order to take the (usually chicken little) false narrative seriously.
CO2 is PLANT food!
What part of 99,999% survive, don’t you understand?
WHY did 5-6 States STOP counting?
If Ukraine is at war, WHY is Bono, Sean Penn etc. flying there?
How can Trump be anti-semetic, when his daughter is jewish?
HOW could all of the Israeli and U.S. Intel, “miss” seeing it coming?
These are questions that our critical thinking SHOULD ask, IF it is functioning.
However, if we are emotionally triggered by some aspect of the narrative to feel a STRONG emotional responce,
…fear (“Its the end of the World!)
or compassion (“WHAT about the BABIES!??)
Or righteous indignation or patriotic fervor, etc. in order to feel the strong emotion, the parts of our brain that normally engage in critical thinking, are pre-empted, in order to experience the emotion, and so critical thinking goes mute.
ANY emotion can have this effect, if we feel it STRONGLY enough.
My son is an engineer at Apple and he insists computers are not that smart.
Your points are well taken Dutch.
Computers are not smart at all, not the tiniest bit. Total morons. They execute instructions which are written by humans and sometimes due to human fallibility those instructions are flawed (actually a lot more often than just sometimes). Their one advantage is their blinding speed. Mind-numbing.
Even neural networks (“Machine Learning” or “AI” – boo!) are built upon instructions written by humans. The intention is to mimic or replicate the way the brain works, which is commendable, but we don’t fully understand the way the brain works and what we do know, the neural networks do not implement fully because they are oversimplified.
Computers can do some very useful things but they are just a tool. Data mining is more of a danger then any neural network present or future.
Neural networks (by design) are meant to run on “bias”. Once you understand the output bias from AI you can game the system. Think playing cards…
They ripped the human brain apart to find ‘thought’…..you are correct all they came up with to make thoughts ‘right’ were electric shock, lobotomies, radiation, and of course drugs along with psychiatrists, psychologists, behavioral science, etc.
All for the children of course./s
Now they are ripping human DNA apart to replicate it in AI- they tried with plants (GMOs), sheep (Dolly, etc) trees (grafting was the only thing that worked)………. ALL to form/create perfect, disease free, beautiful, perfect color, etc. human babies in test tubes. They actually say they want to ‘save’ humanity.
All for the children./s
God Help US
God science used nefariously is devastation.
PS Beware of people who say they will ‘help’ you and ‘save’ you, but mainly the ones who say we are doing it to keep you ‘safe’…………that’s how billions of people have died.
Safe Abortions.
Safe cars.
Safe medicines.
Safe schools.
Safe streets.
1 Thessalonians 5
The Day of the Lord
“Now about the times and seasons, brothers, we do not need to write to you. For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.”
“But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief. For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation.”
100%
“I’m from the government and I’m here to help you.”
What a joke.
In the 2010 spy/action movie “Knight and Day“, Tom Cruise‘s master spy character teaches Cameron Diaz’s innocent unwitting assistant character that anytime government agents tell her they’re going to “protect” her or keep her “safe”, that’s a sure sign that they are going to kill her.
Art imitates life.
Dark forces (and govts) use fear to manipulate us. We need to work on not being such cowards.
It’s the same LIE as what the Serpent told Eve in the Garden… “Ye will be as God”.
All our ills come from this. Our fallen desire to be God of our own lives, and then, the lives of others, the riches, the lands, and SOULS of others, created in the image of God, altho flawed.
And yet, it will never be enough. It’s an insatiable hunger.
GIGO as dad would have said, he was an original master programmer in the USA
Like the moniker!
Plus, they have all this data…….but then what??
“They” can retroactively go through data and figure stuff out; however, they can not take in all this data and instantaneously act thwarting a “plan”.
AI is artificial, it’s based on what we humans model. AI for developing advertising is probably pretty good because we humans are good at advertising in that advertisers have spent decades understanding buyer psychology/creating buyer psychology. Next they take those tactics and trading large models based on those premises/biases and then feed a lot of data to very quickly create new content – the models are just quick at evaluating data in an unbiased way <—— the computer simply does what it was programmed to do, no more and no less.
” AI for developing advertising is probably pretty good because we humans are good at advertising in that advertisers have spent decades understanding buyer psychology/creating buyer psychology.

Would that not also apply to brainwashing propaganda?
back in 1979 my boss bought a brand new computer system for the company and the first time the data showed we had X number of desks in stock when we actually had less, he went nuts.
From then on my boss would have me verify quantities before he would make a sale. I told him to just check the inventory sheet and all he would say is, “Garbage in, garbage out.”
Ha-ha, pretty good!
Garbage In, Garbage Out
AI, as some currently hype it, is a fantasy.
It’s essentially a better filter. Not an insignificant tool, and not without improvements in what it can do, but essentially, still a filter that uses probabilities to make suggestions. (It’s not really much different than when your phone offers you the statistically most likely word to come next as you type out a text; it’s just using longer phrases, sentences, & paragraphs {large language model}.)
Additionally, it’s only as good as the information in the databases it uses to train on. If errors exists there, it will reproduce those errors & present them as truth.
The bottom line is, it can’t even distinguish between what is true & what is false.
We’re a very long way from real AI (an artificial general intelligence) – at least with the current people at the helm, anyway. They simply understand far less about what intelligence is than what they claim.
However, despite the overhyped rhetoric, that doesn’t mean that this tool won’t be misused and applied as a dangerous weapon against us, just like any technology can be. It absolutely will.
Excellent!
Why thank you, madam. 😉
Dutchman…..keeping our Treehouse grounded throughout a total of 401 comments. And, that’s just since we switched to our self-hosted blog. Invaluable…
aw, shucks,…(kicks instep)
I always look for your comments Dutch,
Totally agree with admin. Grounding and clarifying. Realistic and yet positive.
Don’t stop what you do!!!
LOL! How can one kick his own instep??
You forgot UFOs, Dutchman.
You get it.
There’s been a huge shift in mindset, and I would point a moment in time when it became crystal clear – Al Gore’s use of fear and emotion to swamp critical thinking in his “An Inconvenient Truth”.
The media, our schools and universities have knowingly educated our Millennial generation & Gen Z in a subjective mindset.
An excellent comment from Thomas Chester (see source below):
“Principles have been displaced by feeling. Feeling or emotion is what makes things so nebulous for those who seek to debate and decide dialectically, based on fact. Feeling raises it own opinions to fact. That is the new politics. The question is how do you address those that are imperious to reason? Because, even if you win a reasoned argument, you may not (and usually will not) change that emotion. And it is now emotion that rules politics for the two most important generations, by and large.
This is why too, our world is full of the most absurd hypocrisy – to take one prime Millennial/Gen Z playground – protesting, Just Stop Oil: – their feeling blinds them to the fact that their clothes and shoes they wear are made of the very stuff they are protesting about, or the Extinction Rebels – feeling blinds them to the absurdity of protesting with a placard against industry pollution in one hand, and a mobile phone made by the same industry, in the other hand. Likewise, flying in private jets to “emergency climate” change summits — emotion allows them to excuse themselves. And so the list goes on. ”
Source: Comment by Thomas Chester, published yesterday in the Daily Telegraph: American democracy is exhausted – and US media elites are digging its grave
Unfortunately, these people have not been taught anything worthwhile at school so they are unaware that the things they use and MUST have are made with oil. They have been “dumbed down” to the nth degree.
Excellent! The lack of objective evaluation and decision-making makes me nuts!
I also think there might be another factor… The release of dopamine and other brain/mood chemicals that can be elicited and manipulated by strong emotions, then leading to trained responses, like Pavlov’s dogs. And physiologically/ psychologically ADDICTIVE.
The marvelous Charlotte Iserbyt remarked on her observations of Pavlovian/Skinnerian educational methods in public schools, when she returned to the US to take a post with the Dept. of Education.
AI will be used as another layer of excuse to keep doing what they are doing.
I know someone working for a company that has over 500k employees. Their main contract is YouTube. They literally pay people to watch videos 8hrs a day to analyze the content for censorship.
So while algorithms might be capable of flagging c/o trigger words, & is often given as the excuse for disappearing… they’re still relying upon human eyes to actually watch & remove videos they don’t like.
Oh they prefer to hire bilingual folks (ie., non-Americans). The reason for this should be obvious.
The same folks who come here “for a better life” and try to turn the country into the rat holes they ran away from. The same people this occupational government hire over Americans.
Name that company, CM-TX!
Dutch, thank you for your astute comments. When I see your name I pay attention.
Beautifully said, sir!
Here’s the big clue. Do you see just one Western war journalist in the field reporting from the ground in Ukraine? Not one. Israel? They were there within minutes!
So interesting, is it not?
THIS!!!
I am almost never emotional. I might take the bait in the first few seconds, but as I am a very curious person, questions immediately begin to unspool. I can’t help myself. Wouldn’t germs cling to a mask?
One thing that does *not* cling to masks are viruses so small that they sail right *through* them!
“Wouldn’t germs cling to a mask?”
Of course. And they do. A surgeon friend told me he never wears one (usually N95) for more than 4 hours. In some long surgeries he changes masks and headgear 3 or 4 times.
That’s right. I have 2 cousins who are surgeons, and they change their masks every 3 hours or so.
Yes, the lizard part of our brain takes over. It takes practice to turn it off, or at least know when it is trying to take control so you can work on quelling it.
Or use search for the word ‘password’.
Or just keep reading complaints about it and someone will eventually give it.
There may also be a few other methods available.
Thanks for taking the time.
Meanwhile I am starting to use these complaints as indicators off how many people comment without reading much.
They miss both the efforts to prepare us in advance and all the discussions that go on when it is actually done. Including the discussions going on as they complain.
Several people have passed the password on in the various threads. You are right, lots of people don’t read much or even watch the videos posted here before commenting on them.
At least most are old enough to have learned how to sign their names. They don’t teach kids cursor anymore so when they become adults and have to sign their name to a document they have to use an X. My bank told me that..they now accept X as a signature because today’s younger generation can’t sign their own name. Going backwards in time now…a whole illiterate generation but they must be smart because they know how to use a computer.
Cursive is what was used to write the Constitution and all documents prior to the printing press and typewriter. Being unable to decipher handwriting makes it impossible for these children to read original sources. They will depend on translations that may or may not be accurate. That’s perfect for those who would change history.
Great point! Thanks.
If it’s any consolation I taught all of my children how to write in cursive before I taught them print.
SD should market a super-secret decoder ring for the Christmas shopping season. It could fund operations for the next year, lol. Just trying to help.
“the chair is against the wall”, “john has a long mustache”. Red Dawn 1984 great movie on HBO Max currently
The Longest Day had the “John has a long mustache” radio signal to the French Underground. Not sure about the chair thing. I think that was in Red Dawn.
“John has a long mustache” (The Longest Day) – Movie Sound Clips
There were a variety of phrases broadcast targeted for a particular cell, to release them on a certain task. The English lit version of a numbers station.
“Wounds my heart with a monotonous languor” is another, but there were many.
“The long sobs of the violins of autumn wound my heart with a monotonous languor.”
It will be a lot worse than Red Dawn if these idiots keep it up. No one wants that.
Yes. The enemy troops are already in-country.
We know how easy it is for the Deep State to provide weapons to domestic enemies for false flag attacks.
Pretty sure thats what that guy in Vegas, Pollock(?) was doing.
Using the CASINOS for Security and $ laundering of his non liceneced sell to anybody gun store, supplying MS-13, spies, terrorists, etc.
And the Feds probably knew.
Just ask admin and you’ll get it.
Why are certain articles here password-protected anyway? Is there some classified state secrets in them?
Not that I’ve read.
Me too.
I used the password once this week,second time was already filled in,can’t see any problem using passwords.
That is a feature of your operating system and browser. Very convenient. But can be turned off. If someone else gets access, that feature helps them see everything you have password protected.
use the email at the top of the page,
Sundance posted a great pancake recipe a while back.
Use the searchbox and search for password. It is easily obtainable.
If you can’t remember it, write it down for the next time there is a password-protected entry.
If you’ve read here for any length of time, you know that what SD reports is not supposed to be learned by the masses.
Hence why SD had to make the site totally independent to not get shut down.
And even with that precaution, some posts still need to be password-protected.
Walk away if you want, but the password is easily retrieved.
It is often discussed here, it is no secret but keeps the trash comments out.
It is totally worth the effort. When you read those articles, you will understand.
I used the password but did not gain access ?
Then you’ve most likely used in incorrectly.
God Bless You, Puddy! Doing God’s work so selflessly.
So many hints. So many preparatory warnings.
Hugs.
😘 😘 😘
Dear Puddy—-what CZ said. X 85 or something…….and CZ knows…..
you are the best puddy-cat. Always.
Awwwww……if we ONLY had 5 million more of you amongst our branches! 😀
Sharon…you were my mentor. I so admired the work you had done at American Thinker. (Hope you don’t mind my “spilling”.) All my skillz I learned from trying to be you.
Aww, shoot, Puddy! You are too kind–that was a LONG time ago, wasn’t it??
14 years, this February!
Just want to say here , Ad Rem , that some websites
don’t work that well on my phone , but on my tablet
they work Fine .
Thankfully , the Treehouse performs Well on Both !
BUT , the password does not work on my phone ///
It Does Work as it Should on my Tablet !
So , maybe it is a matter of Settings on the item used
to gain entry (?)
I’m Absolutely Not a Tech Head ,
Far From It ! Just telling You my Experience in case
it may help others 😊
Thank You for ALL That You Do , Ad Rem 💐
Are you sure you’re entering the password….all lowercase and plural?
Feel free to email us anytime….always here to help. Let me add….sometimes clearing your cache and removing older “cookies” helps.
Had not thought of this !
I’m Happy it Works on Tablet , so there is That 😊
Thank You , Ad Rem 😊
A quick Google Search for “Conservative TreeHouse Password” shows the password as the search Title for the first result.
https://www.google.com/search?q=Conservative+TreeHouse+Password
Was that necessary?
Try turning off your add blocker in settings ..,,
Did not think of this !
Thank You , PLC 😊
Clear your history, that helps! Not pushing anything, but I use a product the cleans out all my connected devices I use on my router. I try to stay away from using the phone as my connection to the web. I find smartphones aren’t that smart overall!
Thank You , Pa ! I Actually Did Clear my History ,
along with the Above suggestions 😊
I should probably do That more often 😄
I Truly Appreciate Everyone’s Help !
Thank You All 😊
Idk if this will help but… on my main phone which I have refused to update since pre-cooties, I can no longer update my web browsers either. As time goes on less sites will work correctly, or even come up at all.
While CTH still works fine to read & post, nothing happens when I enter the password.
However if I enter the pw on an old phone, but one that has more recent icloud/browser updates- it works just fine.
So try to update your browser & see if that helps.
If you know how to clear cache data on your phone it should work after doing so. The process is usually an option in your Settings>Apps.
Yep. It works
I love all that you do. This site is invaluable. It is a constant lifeline in this tumultuous, bizarre world we currently live in.
I daily ask myself–
“How in the hell did I get here?”
” How is this insanity even possible?”
I would feel so terribly isolated and alone without Treehouse to sustain me.
God bless you! 💕
AMEN!! 😊
I have used it when needed & never had an issue.
Hey I’m the one notorious for typos, and that includes password typos. Primary reason I’ve had to change passwords is that there is no “show password” & I mistyped it.
I couldn’t open the post with Brave or DuckDuckGo. I had to use safari on my iPhone and it opened. If someone knows how to open password protected articles with Brave, please help me!
I also use both- see my post re. updating browsers/ph in reply to RyderLee. (I refuse to use safari 😁)
Agreed on safari.
I use Brave only and I just enter the pwd. Have no problems due to Brave. See if your setting have it fully ratcheted down and you might find your answer, but I tend to keep mine locked up from pop ups and ads.
That happened to me, too.
I had to use lower case letters
Stop complaining. If you’d read everything you would already be aware of it. Anyway, as Truth Nut said, Admin helped.
I have the pw, I just can’t imagine why we’d want to exclude others when the content filtering algos should do just fine.
AI is what your eliminating, not others! We ought to get away from AI altogether! Just something foreign about using no understanding software! Computers lack feelings/empathy and the like! At least in sports, you can argue with a ref or ump! Try that with a computer!
Computers are binary! That’s like yes or no. There’s no in between!
I don’t understand why we are using passwords now
Certain articles (and very few, maybe a couple per year) are password-protected because the Host of this blog has decided that’s how he wants to handle that subject matter
The End
“that’s how he wants to handle that subject matter’
Personally I think it is extremely prudent, especially when things go from slowly at first to all at once. And, most especially when we have a need to start talking about “where we are geographically”. A wonderful idea Sundance and makes this a safer site!
Would be even more so if folks didn’t demand it late in the game and everyone rushed to put it into print again and again.
I don’t get how someone declares they’ll abandon us because they don’t know a password that they most certainly would know if they were a faithful Treeper who never missed a post.
Hm. Makes you wonder who they really are. 🙄
Exactly
Ahhh, the light begins to dawn!
Not everything appears as it shows! I found out many moons ago that just because you have a clearance, you’re good to go! Maybe they just never got caught yet!!!
This would be a case in which AI would wobble and make a wrong call!
Ah-hem… Cranial Challenged Syndrome?
I’m not criticizing your opinion. I’m just a number six devils advocate type.
Some folks have things going on in which they might be absent at a such time
when maybe they had a death in their family or something like that. Then they try
to pick up their lives where they left them. I experienced this the hard way as a young man.
An example not of my experience would be erratic drivers may actually be having an emergency and are heading to the hospital. There is a lot more of what we don’t know than what we do. People in general have a hard time believing that because then they are vulnerable and feel like they don’t have control over their own lives.
Again not a criticism just an observation. 🙂
There are definitely good reasons, particularly new joiners, but this volume of gripes has been pretty large.
Nicely done:)
i thought it was to stymie the crawlers?
at least for a while?
BINGO!!!
Ditto that.
There’s only one password and it’s not used that often.
LOL….and it’s the same one we’ve used for the last ten years!
Hi, Puddy…I was torn between breakfast and very dangerous situations.
One worked!
TYAll for all you all do!
🤣
💕👍
I dont know the password nor how to come by it.

I suspect its to slow down the spider/crawlers and also an IQ test for the AI which will now be driving them. The password is not hidden very well, for humans, but the level of connecting metaphors and stories to work it out, easy for us, will be a useful test for the AI bots.
Yes, the crawlers have gone beyond content, into comments so its to test them.
After a few days the few pword protected articles are unlocked.
At least thats my understanding,..
It only works because the crawlers can’t speak Ukrainian.
I didn’t know it myself but entered “password” in CTH search bar and it came up.
It’s about pest control. About keeping SPYders out. The new kind, the ones controlled by Algorithmic Imitation. The ones that report back to the Deeps Taters about what content needs to be censored, and who needs to be silenced.
I saw those spiders on “Minority Report” with Tom Cruz. Creepy!
I thought I knew the password, but it did not work for the last article that required one.
I’m not sure how to remedy that.
That was my experience. Featuring smug self righteous types don’t help either. The password simply did not work.
It didn’t work on the first article I tried to use it on, but did the second time. Not sure what was the difference.
The password acts as a deterrent against snooping AI bots from bad actors.
what is the password?
While We fight for freedom of speech, should We become secretive or louder?
Just asking for a friend who doesn’t know how to go secrete with secret passwords. And really doesn’t want to.
Use the search tool at the top of the site and search for password
If you’ve been following Sundance for any length of time you know the password .. You just don’t realize the password or haven’t been paying attention.. Go wolverines
If you’ve been on here for any real time, you know it
If you know movies about invasions across our southern border, you know it
Fan of the CFP, you know it
If you contact admin, you’ll know it
Answer “no” to all of those and you don’t deserve to know it
I don’t understand either
I look forward to hearing more about those experiences and insight. Thanks
60 billion more to the Oligarchs in Ukraine? How much of that gets funneled indirectly (washed) back to the congressmen that voted to authorize it?
Lots!
10% for the big guy
and I imagine we have many “big guys and gals” in congress
And what is Obama’s cut, has to be something big as well.
His inflation may warrant 15-20%.
Straight to their campaign funds…2024 here we come!
Well, typical if a foreign Govt wants aid, firstly the aid package legislation has to get out of committee, so theres a bribe there, funneled thru lobbyists,…then it has to get a majority of R votes (bribe there) and D votes (bribe there) to pass the House…then bribe to get out of Senate Committee, then enough R votes in Senate (bribe there) and D votes another bribe,…oh, but then they need a conference to reconcile the two different versions of the bill (bribe there) and THEN,….the Bill goes to the POTUS for his signature BIG bribe there.
The business of D.C.
And how do we know the stash is only 60 B?
Ask George Santos.
Giggle…spit.
I would be shocked if they are even able to account for 25% of what is going out.
Trump shutting down their illicit revenue that flowing amidst the chaos they maintained on the Turkish/Syrian border was YUGE. Absolutely hilarious too, cause they never saw it coming! Within a few of hours of Trump breaking it to them, Nanze had a small delegate on a plane to Jordan to learn the fate of their massive revenue stream.
First thing Joe did was get troops back on that border, but judging from the massive death toll in Turkey after Erdogan blindsided them again, my guess is that stream has been permanately severed. kek kek…
Knowing Putin, their massive revenue stream through Ukraine probably isn’t much more than a trickle, if that. Their Central banks fiat currency isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. We got the gold, and meticulous measures are being taken to keep them shut out of the emerging global asset backed currency system.
So they have their stream from the southern border, and… whatever else they are able to scrape up from the fleecing of our tax dollars that they’re struggling to get sent out. Not much, the election is right around the corner, and their brown shirts and election riggers certainly aren’t going to fund themselves.
At least that’s my rather unorthodoxed assessment, FWIW.
I remember reading something about not only Libya’s gold that disappeared, but also Ukraines, some years back.
Do you remember? Is that what you are alluding to?
Can’t say I know much about either, but that Hillary’s brother had something to do with Libya’s gold after Khadaffi was taken out?
I was thinking that a little bit of context and insight from behind the scenes was in order, so that it might help to bring a little clarity to why their actions don’t make any sense. They are in desperate need for money that used to flow in, hand over fist.
When they say they had to fix what Trump did with the border, and there’s nothing wrong with it now… they’re actually telling everyone the truth. That is how they do our borders. ‘Doing just fine, running like a well oiled machine’…
People think they’re nuts when they say ‘the economy is great, now that they fixed everything Trump messed up’, but we are all struggling just to put food on the table. ‘Yes… ‘Isn’t it great’?
Context. They are mocking us to our faces, and we just don’t get it.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: … snip
The fact that there’s never an accounting of where aid goes, or any attempt to measure any improvement to justify our dollars, etc, tells you that’s it’s a grift.
Methinks that the political class has been getting $$ in the back door through foreign aid for a long time.
Ugh…
It’s just been a free for all for them cause none of it is audited, and they usually don’t waste any time nipping audit requests in the bud. Not all that different from our elections, when they fight tooth and nail to stop anyone from seeing the ballots and source code profgrammed to flip votes in the machines.
Like when Jason Chaffetz started talking about auditing The Federal Reserve. It was gut wrenching to watch him physically struggling to explain why he suddenly retired out of the blue . Almost in tears, and just kept saying ‘My family, my children… I need to be home, devoting more time to my wife and children’.
They were all set to pass The Paris Climate Accord until someone managed to slip in mandatory audits to account for every penny, and suddenly they couldn’t muster up any support to pass it.
We have random drug testing of professional/Olympic athletes to protet the integrity of sports, we need random financial audits for everyone in Congress. Especially those with their insatiable appetites to fund everything in the sun with everyones elses money.
… and all their immediate family members, too! Their concerns for the less fortunate will disappear overnight
This is a giant ponzi scheme being treated like a comedy. It’s disgusting.
Do I remember correctly that in the early days, the US took Congressional Delegations there? Buncha Democrats on planes?
Or was that some other foreign kickback locale?
Maybe it was earlier, I vaguely remember Trump screwed one up for them and their buses didn’t arrive to take them to the airport
Ah – fading memory … and I don’t even drink any longer, a beer once in a blue moon
Pelosi had a bus loaded to go the airport for a government funded play date at some foreign locale, not Ukraine, well before that, and yeah, they got nixed, I think they were driving around in a dither of sorts.
She prolly thinks she got even with him but the game ain’t over yet, not by a long shot.
thx, Maquis, some of the Dem atrocities are fading from my elder memory
My own random access is getting more random by the day!
They say memory is either the first or last thing to go, but I can’t remember which! 🙂
It probably doesn’t help that we used to hear relatively few shockingly outrageous news stories a month, we now hear 43 of them a day.
We’ve gone from weekly news cycles to daily news cycles to minute by minute, to tweet by tweet…all the while seeming to get uglier and more outrageous.
Sometimes there’s a mercy of sorts in the fading.
With our DS now pointed in instead of out, we are the targets of dramatically more false flags and fabricated crap than ever. You feel that every day now. As the election nears, I would assume into get worse.
Honestly, it would cease if not effective. Given the ramp-up, imagine how effective with amplification from the in house media.
As I tell my kids, the average IQ is roughly 100. Those middlin folks at 100 simply aren’t overly sharp (to be kind). Half of the world lives below that. We are watching fantasy crap made for the bottom half. Works like a charm apparently.
Make a note that the majority invading our border are of even lower IQ. Check the averages for those countries.
Yes, Somalia is 67, I believe, Mexico is 87, Honduras 52, etc.
They are largely unemployable.
Sadly, I have to agree.
A judge explained to me years ago that 75% of the illegals he saw in his courtroom were illiterate in their own language.
Spot on, nim.
It was much more serious. It was an attempted coup, in January 2019, after the DePa ‘won’ the elections of 2018. Also, someone had been arrested in Georgia, a few days before, with an antitank weapon, AT-15, I think. Speaker Pelosi, third in the President’s hierarchy, together with other important people, were to travel to Brussels, Afghanistan and Egypt. She asked for a plane, the same she flew on in a previous occasion. President Trump cancelled it, AFTER they got in the bus and BEFORE they arrived at the airport. By the same plane he sent Ms Melania and his son to Florida. Because of no agreement for the Debt, the Federal State was then closed . President Trump and Vice President Pence were to work together at the White House on that day. A curious twit by Donna Brazile surfaced at that time, -Speaker today, Vice President tomorrow, President the day after-, something like that. Well, a VERY lot has happened behind the scenes and he has always overcome !
thanks very much for the recounting
any link for any of that?
if not, I appreciate your memory
Sorry, I had not archived them. But they were posted mostly at The Gateway Pundit. They happened around the 18th of January, 2019. I must have read some of them in The Last Refuge and the Saker, too. I remember that the name of the man arrested in Georgia was arabic. There were many questions, how he found such a heavy weapon. Since then, I haven’t read anything about him. There were a lot of comments, which helped understand, what was really happening, but I can not write them.Immediately afterwards President Trump reopened the State Services. Maybe you remember, that on Christmas 2018 a football team visited the White House and because of the lock-out, they were served fast food from the MacDonald’s. It is strange that Speaker Pelosi did not make later the cancelled trip, though, I remember, she protested the President’s decision. Maybe she could not have the same crew she had asked for (and got) previously… I think that someone could find them, if he has the time and the know-how for such an electronic research of the archives. All the years after 2015 are extremely interesting and everything that happens, leaves a deep impression, especially to some non-Americans, who thought, till then, that ALL American politicians were the same ‘evil imperialists’. President Trump changed radically this misconception. With fingers crossed, I wait for the year 2024 !
alright, thanks for your time in writing all that out, K
You are welcome, my friend !
Fear… purposely & meticulously cultivated about anything & about everything.
I’m generally not a fearful person & I learned to question everyone & everything at my mama’s knee.
God bless you, SD! Thanks to you I rediscovered my curiosity gene & I can hardly contain my thirst to learn more!
Massey says all the right things and serves on the right committees but his voting record is questionable. He has voted for a number of spending bills and I think he voted to kick Santos out of office. Essentially throwing away one of their majority seats away.
Massie voted against kicking out Santos.
https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2023691
Massey is a RON! Meatball supporter so there is that. And I agree his voting record has been questionably unreliable for MAGA lately. However, he did not vote to oust Santos.
I used to listen to interviews with him on a local morning conservative radio station out of Huntington, WV some time back before IHeartradio fired the conservative host that had been there for 20 years.
Like you said, Massey said all the right things then , but something has happened to him recently. He says it is his “principles” he votes on. I say he dislikes Donald Trump. Just my opinion.
Someone posted a photo of Massie and the crazy eyed Meatball blond in the comments a couple days back where one noted that they looked as though they just came down from a hotel room: a picture is worth a 1000 words.
Ah yes… Tommy’s photo with Plastic Tina.
He’s not reliable.
There must be some really horrendous motivation for continuing the fund Ukraine. The bureaucrats and officials are pulling out the stops, saying that we absolutely MUST send Ukraine another $60 billion. They seem to be hitting the message hard with threats of dire consequences if Congress doesn’t pass the Ukraine money bill.
When you realize they’re all owned by foreign actors in some way, except for Donald Trump, it becomes pretty clear what’s going on.
I can only imagine the number of “whistle blowers” that will fall out of the Ukraine tree when the dollars/ hush money/ blackmail/ graft payments stop flowing. That creates problems in an election year.
Bingo.
The U.S. is paying the salaries and pensions of the Ukraine Govt. a Billion/mo. IIRC.
WE stop paying, that means no $ to the Ukranian buerocrats that know where all the biolabs were, what was being done there and by whom,..
and thats just the start.
Ukraine is reputed to be the most corrupt giverment in europe, just imagine what they know.
There is a blockade by Polish truckers at their border due to unfair competition from Ukrainian truckers. There are very long queues of stuck vehicles. This concentrated traffic has brought out into the open cargoes that would otherwise have passed by almost unnoticed.
In particular, hundreds (I don’t exaggerate) of new, middle to top end SUV and cars as well as tens of top end marina size boats.
This is causing much angst amongst the new $ rich peoples of Ukraine, desperate to spend hot $/Euro and take delivery of the asset before the hammer comes down.
Another cottage industry in Ukraine is buying accident/salvage titled cars in the US, repairing them, washing the title and reselling them in the US as a used car with a clean title.
They’re threatening to draft young people.
THAT will be funny! Although it might clear the dissident population out of the country. They can’t even manage to get out of bed and go to school!
I would like to know what happened to the US owned biolabs in Ukraine during this so called war?
I read some time ago that there were many.
The number of US owned labs I saw was either 42 or 47. I’m thinking Russia bombed at least some of them.
They’re all salivating at the prospect of getting enough $$ without having to work for it. Lazy bastards. Lacking their chops.
Tucker has traveled a lot since fired. He’s been to Hungary, Spain and other places. His guests have been great. I am so grateful he gets to speak freely now. TwitterX opened up the world to him. I love when I read comments from freedom fighters across the Globe.
Here is a great clip from Tucker answering a question from someone in the audience how he stays happy and sane.
Good clip. I agree with a lot he said but not on charity giving. Thankfully I’ve been able to afford it. Probably been ripped off but that’s on them. I gave from my heart….
First test on charity giving is what proportion of their income goes on administration i.e. the pockets of those running it?
I always give locally. That eliminates most of the entrenched, cottage industry “charities” that help themselves more than anybody else.
And when the cash register prompts us to round up our change for the charity du jour, just say NO. I trust the “charities” being touted by these multinational, globalist corporations about as much as I trust the “vaccines” they keep hawking nonstop.
It’s very easy to advance evil because evil exploits our laziest emotional responses. It is ever so much more gratifying to do our OWN homework and get it just right.
He had a really good episode recently with MTG, and a good one the other day about the climate change scam.
It’s the opinion of people who love me that drive me insane!
Me too!
What
If I had to guess, all of ‘our positive economic metrics’ are actually being spent in Europe, their economy is going up, ours is going down, etc. And everything about our economy right now is a lie. The story of how no electric charging stations have been built in 2 years is a red flag, even though that stuff is nonsense anyway. The money isn’t being spent here. At all.
That gravy train never ended after WWII and through the Cold War for ones with the right connections.
Here’s a better question: Is Washington D.C., through it’s easily avoidable sanctions and gluttonous spending, building Russia’s military and economy up?
Yes. Their economy is on a war footing so is really motoring. Only the West is sanctioning them, the US only when it suits it, so exports are booming too.
It is Europe that is going down the pan as the US gets rid of a competitor.
The Marshall Plan in perpetuity.
Reddit war, what the h.

I’ve resided in and around Budapest for over a decade now. Great city and people. Solid country, really. Not like London(istan) or Paris or any German town at all. Dublin, which I knew well, is next to unlivable. I feel like an exile, but thank God, it’s a good exile. Makes me realize how insane things are ‘outside’. FWIW.
When all my angst of 2021 / ‘1984’ peaked, I could only think of 2 or 3 countries to which one might take refuge. Hungary was one and would now probably be the only one, as we watch the others being infiltrated. God bless and keep them. The more I learn about their history and language, the more I realize how unique a country it is.
Is Poland being knifed in the back, forced to take Middle Eastern immigrants?
But learning the language is hard, I’ve heard. If you speak Finnish, you should be good. I hear they’re very similar.
Best glass of wine I’ve ever enjoyed was in Hungary, back when it was still a bombed out communist mess. Tokaji/ Tokai ??
It would be interesting to go back now, to see how things have changed.
The relationship between the US and Ukraine has been a far worse one for Ukraine than it has been for us. It’s not even remotely close
It has caused us to have wasted over a hundred billion dollars on it, but it has caused them to have wasted somewhere around 200,000 lives? (some Baghdad Bobs even say 500,000) on it, which is exponentially worse.
550,000 KIA minimum. Ukraine admitted to 480,000 KIA one year ago.
Add to that 1M+ wounded and disabled.
100K amputees.
How will they ever recover, with many young men of working age crippled or dead, buildings ravaged, businesses ruined? Just terrible, and ALL Zelenskyy’s fault (plus Nuland, et al).
A BIG RINO
Where’s his nose stick-on meatball?
Who is the person (or organization) who(that) is in charge of setting this whole system and get it organized so well, that it is heavily concealed from sight? Soros? WEF? Who sends out the daily talking points? It is so mind boggling how organized these people really are.
World Economic Forum – Wikipedia
Media Matters and the like literally distribute daily talking points to help message. Amazing that our watch dogs don’t blow that whole thing up. Shocking even.
What watch dogs? Do we have any watch dogs?
Sarcasm. I do it poorly.
My belief is that faith is the medicine for fear. Here in the Treehouse there have been many times my faith has been reinforced by comments that have guided me through the fear. God bless all of you.
Amen.
^^^^^^^ THIS! ^^^^^^^
IMO our small S/W British Columbian towns, immigrant community ( I am one) offers a perspective on world events that is not available to much of the more rural areas of Canada and the U.S.A.
Just today a son of an Indian ( Sikh) immigrant, an Australian on a work visa, a well to do Polish immigrant and me had a pleasant interchange.
A “stones throw “ from our house lives a families from the Dominican, Ukraine, Bosnia, Turkey, India and Taiwan.
All are good neighbours, and the neighbourly chats and the different experiences are most insightful.
Frankly much of the U.S. public has been lied to for several decades.
We in Canada have too, but we have no effect on world affairs politically, financially or militarily and something 80% of our trade is with the U.S. and we do the bidding of the U.S. government.
Much of Canada is a part of the bubble that the U.S. is in.
As the masses are spoon fed Pablum daily.
Unfortunately for our Trudeau he F@*ked up “ Bigly” with the Covid, and millions have been awakened from their slumber.
2024 will, as many have stated be monumental in the shaping North America’s future.
Should President Trump be allowed to assume his rightful place, the “ship may be righted”
One does not want to contemplate any other outcome.
Cheers to all, and God Bless President Trump.
Cheers Dekester!
So you are on the edge of the bubble, mostly IN, but a little bit out, lol.
Its my belief it wasn’t Just Justine that f*cked up with Covid,…I believe THEY went entirely too far, and its the creature of their creation, thats going to keep on biting them in the ass.
How’s THIS for some bullsh#t ? (and blackmail)
Defense Secretary Warns Congress U.S. Troops Could Be Deployed If Ukraine Aid Is Not Sent
Indeed. Puts me in mind of what King Henry VIII said about Thomas á Becket.
Quel espece de merde.
Just disgusting
There are a number of us who believe Austin/ “Biden” have zero ability or authority to order troops into Ukraine, (albeit there are some American forces elements who have been present there for a long time).
Troops into Ukraine would be a major acid test for the Devolution theory.
That said, this smells like a bluff to me.
Just a race grifter shifting the grift to new, super idiotic topics.
I will grant him that race grifting helped him tremendously through Obama and his gutted military. President Trump should have wiped the top clean as did Obama.
Any of those 4 star types promoted there under that regime and its leave behinds (ie Mattis and Kelly) had to fully on board with the woke shenanigans Obama drove. It wasn’t limited to the military.
Do you remember the impressive roster of military generals who signed their endorsement of Donald Trump for President in 2016? I do.
I read recently that Russia has installed turbos on their meat grinders. As if they were expecting a dilevery of more fresh meat
Get bent, Lloyd!
You first, smart guy!
WTF does this dufus know, about ANYTHING??
I’m glad its not just me, this piece is so obscure, most comments are about a password. Or is it me?
many, many, … (did I say “many”?) people are immune to admonitions about not going off-topic
many, I tell ya
The continuing assault, world-wide, on liberty pivots around decisions made in the US. Those decisions are fueled by a determined focus away from the Constitutional principles necessary for our nation to survive and we are all paying the price for their refusal.
Protect the US and US interests. Describe the US interest being funded. Explain why foreigners are killed on behalf of our actions. How is that not clear? How are the US actions justified by logic and reason?
The answer is, of course, they are not. They are justified by perverting logic and reason to satisfy a hidden hunger, the way a tyrant does the same. Expanding foolhardy decisions in spite of evidence to the contrary is the stuff of immature personalities; the mean girls’ table at lunch on full-throated revenge.
Men with interests in our own welfare would never take the country in this direction. Female-brains bent on satisfying some long-dead insult certainly are.
Old trick of SERE training.
Lie or omit with a dose of mostly benign truth to convince your captors that you’re credible and forthcoming to avoid torture.
What is TC doing?
Tells mostly truth but omits the full truth / and tells everyone how dangerous Europe is.
Who did he work for? MSM
Who controls MSM?
Who has he partnered with lately? Elon
Who is connected to the government? Elon
Who does Tucker really work for?
BK, before we reach any firm conclusions, Tucker, in his interview on his porch with the two young men, said one of the third rails out loud. He said there is a small group of evil people running the world.
I do not think that particular truth has become so evident to most people that TPTB would consider it benign.
I’m withholding judgment on the matter. It’s all still a psy op/ info op, as Gregg Phillips recently posted. The fog is only going to get thicker, not less.
To the extent that Tucker is moving minds in the direction of freedom and truth – which is undeniable as he interviews Matthias Desmet and Viktor Orban – the net effects matter more than the good or ill intentions or character of the speaker. So far, the net effects of Tucker Carlson have been strongly in the direction of dissolution of the Matrix. So far, so good.
Same with Musk.
IMHO.
I agree with them moving the needle in the right direction.
BUT, my main thesis is to “be cautious” on going all-in with either.
Just like with Meatball at the beginning, SOH Johnson, etc.
I will say however, TC is a little more credible to me than Elon. There are way too many red flags on Elon for me to ever trust him.
I think most here avoid the “all in” with anyone or anything. Feels like people here are coming at everything with an appraising eye and leaning where logic would take them. The cult of personality thing doesn’t seem an issue (except maybe with Sundance, who has earned the pass).
Listened to TC’S guest on Roseanne. Maybe cause he waa on her show, rather than his own I felt he was more open…
and perhaps HE is still gradually opening up more broadly.
Several times he talked about how he grew up and was immersed in the whole beltway mentality, how there are things that are just taken as givens, and well known/accepted by all who live there..and in those areas of the discussion he also seemed to acknowledge some self censoring, like “some things I can’t/shouldn’t say”…
I am now dropping my reservations that TC is INTENTIONAL controlled op, and while I am not a cult guy, I do think TC is authentic, if somewhat autistic.
As for Elon,…just don’t know.
I generally agree. TC is different out from under the Murdoch dictatorship.
Elon might be a bill of rights type, but he has sure made one helliva lot of money using government billing power.
I think Tucker has been on his own journey of discovery, and it REALLY started when his family home was preyed upon by insane leftists, with the family inside. I think he came to a decision at that point, and when he moved to Maine.
And, at that point, he knew his time at Fox was limited. Just didn’t know how soon the cutoff would be. And in all that time, he was getting redpilled.
Then he was set free, on his path of discovery. And each episode, it’s another thing of discovery.
He’ll get there, eventually, and us with him. He seems to welcome these challenges, is not afraid.
All the nations that became the Soviet Block had everything taken from them; and they will never let it happen again.
We in the US only know the history of fighting wars ‘in’ America, not first hand. There are still people alive to tell the story of tyranny in other nations. War torn with no ‘victory’ ever in sight………evil manipulation for control.
US forces have not been allowed to win a war since WWll; like Israel can not ‘end’ the war with a decisive victory; it always has to be a draw so further wars can continue at the whim of the ‘world ‘ leaders.
God Help US.
“We in the US…know the history of fighting wars ‘in’ America…”
Wish we still did.
Check out the disdainful look of impertinence on Thomas Massie’s face.
Massie is smug and appears to think this is all amusing. There is nothing funny about the games they play to put our taxpayer money in their pockets while telling us it’s going somewhere else. This drama congressional idiots and the top buffoons are perpetrating is getting old. They are screwing the American people and laughing about it.
And Tucker is always introducing that hysterical laugh of his which I think hides nervousness because what he laughs about IS NOT FUNNY.
MSM motto: “All the news we see fit to print”…
Thank you, Sundance!
I appreciate your courage to face the unknown, and then cogently share your findings with those of us who cannot travel or do the research that you do!
You are a national treasure and I love and appreciate you!
To your last point, Sundance, nothing has been what it seems for quite some time now. Some used to dare call it conspiracy.
As I’ve suggested, the Treehouse is doing God’s work in helping people to awake from the long slumber they’ve been purposefully placed in. God is truth, and he loves those who love and thrive in the truth. Which is why, as I’ve said before and will continue to emphasize as long as it holds true (that word again), The Last Refuge, for a bunch of “ragtag conservative misfits,” has an outsized influence on the zeitgeist. Which is also why I pray to the Lord for the safety and protection of everyone who hosts and supports this site through their commentary and donations.
I am convinced different reporters / analysts / pundits have different levels of truthiness they are willing to engage in. I believe this level at least in part is influenced by how deeply they have dived, how long they’ve seen the tyrannical ugliness, and how far they are willing to try to take their audiences.
For example, it has been interesting to me to listen over years to Bongino’s position become harder and harder in the direction of old school American liberty. Recently, though, he has been distracted by the attacks in Israel and has become so irrationally murderous (“demon savages!!”) I have stopped listening. Sometimes I think one of the purposes of the Hamas attacks was to divide the American liberty movement by trying to force us choose sides (libertarians vs religious). I hope it doesn’t work.
No one should believe the deep state hasn’t spent $Billions psychoanalysing the liberty movement.
I could have saved them big $.
Lolz yep
Oh me of little faith.
Thanks Sundance. I had thought that your absence was due to human vicissitudes. So good to have you back.
Mexico has been a safe place for me. 28 years off and on! A Catholic/Christian Conservative country! Viva!!!
Yes. But please explain the ‘Sancho’ culture then. Is it primarily men who leave Mexico? Because the Latinos I speak with seem to be rather unfaithful to their wives / girlfriends. They only seem to care about work, food, and the ladies. Any lady. Granted, I work with a lot of blue collar men, but this chatter includes frequent references to hookers and more.
There seems to be little interest in movies, reading, education. It’s taqueria, soccer, and for some cerveza.
Sounds like a typical red blooded American male to me.
Exactly right. They do not yearn for education, for high character, for learning, etc. It’s all about $$ today, and beer/sex after. That’s all.
US Republicans reveal why they walked out of Senate Ukraine briefing
The meeting on aid to Kiev was a “waste of time” as the Democrats would not play ball on border security, GOP members have said
A classified, high-stakes US Senate briefing on Ukraine has spiraled out of control, with some Republicans storming out of the meeting, fuming over Democrats’ perceived reluctance to cut a deal on aid to Kiev by making concessions on tighter immigration controls.
Tuesday’s closed-door meeting, which was attended by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and several other top US officials, was supposed to focus on a $111 billion security package backed by the Democrats. The measure included aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, as well as addressing US border security.
https://www.rt.com/news/588601-chaos-senate-briefing-ukraine-aid/
I can’t for the life of me figure out how border security is a trading chip here. Border security is an absolute obligation to our people. We have no such obligation to anyone that supersedes those to our citizens. We fund this joint and live with it, thick or thin.
I guess I just described why America a first has become such a powerful rallying cry.
Where, oh WHERE, were these “Republicans” when President Trump was all about securing our border and ensuring peace through economic strength?
How about getting RESULTS, instead of all the empty posturing, which is ESPECIALLY galling as they CONTINUE funding BILLIONS for their war machine?
If these TRAITORS weren’t so busy backstabbing President Trump and the American people, we would have world peace by now.
so let me get this straight… Thomas Massie KNOWS the classified briefings to Congress by unelected bureaucrats are just propaganda sessions and the NO ONE speaks up and asks why people such as Nuland are in there? He admits HE was SILENT.
So… he is COMPLICIT. do I have this right?
It seems to me in my naivete that if ONE person speaks up, it may give courage to others.
He is DEFINITELY complicit. His mask has been ripped off.
Liess, half-truths, and innuendo are the stock and trade of deceivers.
Thomas Massie is a freaking fool and anti-Semite. Get rid of that RINO turd.
Well SOMETHING’S UP WITH UKRAINE! Starting at the 40:00 minute mark, from a purported Secret Service agent, he claims his office is helping Zelensky relocate to the U.S. where he’ll be given protection, a personal chef, and luxury housing. This agent shares naturalization records showing that Zelensky will be granted U.S. citizenship as well.
he better stay off the paddleboard …
An immigrant army would probably be more inclined to do what they were told, Legal or not !
Funny that Massie says we can’t afford it, but he voted to increase the debt ceiling. Then when he was inundated with calls from his constituents, he stated he would not change his mind just because of voter pressure.
Huge fan of Tucker, but wish he could have gotten a better spokesman for this cause.
This is a hallmark of the people who install (and re-install) themselves without benefit of fair elections: “Voter pressure” isn’t even on their radar anymore.
Most Americans don’t even know what our national debt is.
That’s how the grifters get away with talk of “reducing the deficit.” We are governed to the lowest common denominator.
And it’s getting lower year after year.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Not bad for a guy who was supposedly a supermarket manager.
Well done, sir!
I thought it was PRODUCE manager, ala Levin who showed his true colors there!
I make no blanket statement, but I tend to relate to and trust people who HAVE worked at a job with a,prominent sign listing the # of days since the last work related accident.
There is something about potentially hazardous work that focuses the mind, affords an extra layer of job satisfaction, and cuts through the bullshit.
Those who have NEVER worked at such jobs (at least SOME) look down on any who would work at such jobs, thinking they do so because thdy can’t do anything else.
There are those who MAKE and maintain stuff, and those who shift #’s on paper.
All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players; …..As You Like It, Act II, Scene VII, William Shakespeare.
…or Rush, Limelight.
Always MAGA! Love and Blessings to Sundance! 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Thank you Sundance for your brave example and for the research that you are doing. I feel so fortunate to be part of this community. Going to make a donation now to help defray your costs.
Thank you, and thanks for the reminder, as its time for me to donate again.
Airfare to Europe, accomodations, etc…not cheap!
Great interview!
I got a good laugh at his description
of Victoria Nuland ……he’s right👏
The Prime Act information was
interesting.
Did SD actually go to Ukraine? I wouldn’t think of Budapest as dangerous. Most of us here have figured that the billions sent to Ukraine end up laundered and the weapons in arms auctions in places like Kosovo.
You’re correct. What we see is a simulacrum.
There are certain places that I would never travel to: sharia countries would be one, and BIG blue US cities would be another.
Do not try to run down Tucker by accusing him of ignorance. My pet peeve is how many American citizens are completely ignorant of anything that has ever included politics in our Republic. A Republic, by definition, must include citizen involvement of politics in order to survive. This is the most basic reason we can no longer call this a Republic.
The only sure fire thing that can be done to help restore Our Republic will never be done and that is to outlaw public sector labor unions. I don’t just mean Government labor unions. All labor unions who represent the workers of Companies that make more profit from their Government contracts than from their sales of goods and services in the consumer marketplace will also have to be outlawed. Imagine trying to get a Congressman to even speak up on this subject. Rather than make this distinction that most disengaged people will never understand, I say we will have to outlaw all financing of labor unions that are pulling financing from the pockets of their so-called rank and file.
There are many more actions that will need to be taken, but this one can possibly affect the way our representatives act in the halls of our Governments. Again, I am beating on a seemingly dead horse issue at this point.
Oh no, a RAYCISS! You must hate blacks because they are grossly over-represented in gubmint jobs! Oh, next, there’ll be a lynching!
Puke.

I am sure the results of the G7 meeting will be met with enthusiasm by Putin, and cause Russia’s GDP to rise another point.
reuters -Yellen says U.S. would be ‘responsible for Ukraine’s defeat’ if aid fails in Congress
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Tuesday that the United States would be “responsible for Ukraine’s defeat” if Congress fails to approve the Biden administration’s latest multi-billion-dollar funding request for the war-torn country.
Yellen told reporters on a trip to Mexico City that the funding – particularly for Ukraine’s general government budget support – was “utterly essential” and a pre-condition to keep International Monetary Fund support flowing to Ukraine.
… this is a dire situation and we can hold ourselves responsible for Ukraine’s defeat if we don’t manage to get this funding to Ukraine that’s needed
[…] the government budget support was being channeled through the World Bank, which has strong anti-corruption safeguards to ensure the money goes to intended uses.

We’re responsible for shoving them into it, but the defeat isn’t about lack of US financial support.
Unreal.

DEC 06 2023 – reuters – US and Ukrainian leaders seek expansion of arms production
U.S. and Ukrainian government representatives sign agreement to speed weapons co-production and data sharing at a conference in Washington on Wednesday.
The letter of intent was signed at a meeting of U.S. and Ukrainian industry and government representatives and “will prioritize co-production and technical data exchange to address the urgent operational needs of the armed forces in Ukraine,” Jason Israel, the White House National Security Council’s Director for Defense Policy and Strategy told an audience of more than 200 gathered in the Department of Commerce auditorium.
Areas of concentration include “air defense systems, repair and sustainment and production of critical munitions,” Israel told the audience.
The letter was signed by the Pentagon’s chief weapons buyer Bill LaPlante, Ukraine’s Minister of Defense Rustem Umerov and its Minister for Strategic Industries, Oleksandr Kamyshin.
The three-day conference kicked off on Wednesday and included high-level speakers from both governments including U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Ukraine’s Head of the Office of the President Andriyy Yermak and the Minister of Defense.
The event is being hosted by the U.S. Department of Commerce and is part of a U.S. government effort to increase weapons production in support of Ukraine.

Gee, shouldn’t they have done this at least a year ago?

Biden: “Congress needs to pass supplemental funding for Ukraine before they break for the holiday.”
Over under on them signing off on a deal for more Ukraine funding, with only token border enforcement provisions, before beating a retreat before the holidays?
yeah,…thought so.
Hey, Matt Gaetz tell me again how great you are, for replacing McCarthy with Johnson!

DEC 05 2023 – RITZ-CARLTON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, D.C.
BLINKEN : Ukraine, Russia – we need to ensure that Ukraine continues to succeed. We need to ensure that Russia continues to fail in its aggression against Ukraine. (Applause.)
If we don’t – if we don’t – we know that if Putin is allowed to proceed with impunity, that is going to open a Pandora’s box of aggression around the world.
Other would-be aggressors will look, they’ll learn, they’ll listen, they’ll take lessons from this.
[…]
So we have a real incentive to get this right, and this has been a remarkable story so far.
Ukraine against all odds has succeeded and more than survived.
This has been a strategic debacle for Russia. It’s weaker militarily, it’s weaker economically, it’s weaker diplomatically.
Ukraine is united, Europe has gotten itself off a dependence on Russian energy, the NATO Alliance is stronger and bigger and getting even bigger.
We need to be able to keep that going in a critical moment.
