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…

Some info on Judge Florence Pan, one of the judges on the 3-judge panel hearing oral arguments on Trump’s appeal of Judge Chutkan’s order denying presidential immunity in J6 case.
Pan, appointed by Joe Biden, is married to Max Stier–a Dem Party activist and one of Brett Kavanaugh’s chief antagonists. Stier claimed he observed Kav engaged in lewd behavior at Yale–he reported it to FBI and Senate during Kavanaugh debacle. He was recently featured in a film about Kavanaugh that criticized the FBI’s investigation into various claims.
A longtime DC fixture, Pan has friends in high places.
From WashPo in 2021: “In one of her first hearings Wednesday, Pan took over the politically sensitive lawsuit brought by 2016 Trump campaign adviser Carter Page against the FBI, Justice Department and several former officials alleging they unlawfully surveilled and investigated him during the FBI’s Russia probe.
A D.C. veteran, Pan offered to recuse herself from the case, saying she has been friends with a lawyer for defendant Lisa Page, a former FBI attorney. Pan said she has known Page’s attorney, former Justice Department lawyer Amy Jeffress, for 27 years, attended her wedding, and met Page at a party.”
Jeffress is married to DC District Court Judge Chris Cooper, appointed by Obama.
Merrick Garland officiated the wedding.
Isn’t DC cute?
Although 3-judge panels are supposed to be “randomly” selected, Pan oddly is seated on an unusually high percentage of consequential political cases. She was on BOTH panels to hear arguments on an appeal related to 1512c2, obstruction of an official proceeding.
Pan was the decisive 2-1 judge in both decisions upholding DOJ’s use of the post-Enron statute. Her lead opinion–and I use that term pejoratively–in Fischer v USA is now under review at SCOTUS.
While Pan admitted the “novel” use of 1512c2 in J6 cases–more than 300 J6ers slapped with the evidence tampering felony for their conduct on Jan 6 as is Donald Trump–she nonetheless adopted the broadest reading of 1512c2 to uphold DOJs interpretation.
Pan–and Childs, also on today’s panel–upheld Judge Beryl Howell’s nondisclosure order preventing Twitter from notifying Trump about Jack Smith’s subpoena of his data and Howell’s $350,000 fine against the company. Pan: “The whole point of the nondisclosure order was to avoid tipping off the former President about the warrant’s existence.”
Pan–and Childs again along with Obama appointee Cornelia Pillard–also upheld Howell’s extraordinary ruling that pierced atty-client privilege btw Evan Corcoran and Trump in classified docs case, forcing Corcoran to turn over all his records to Jack Smith.
A decision, by the way, that never should have been made in DC since the alleged “crime” happened in southern Florida. Pan expressed no jurisdictional concerns there.
Pan has been assigned to several panels for appeals filed by J6 defendants. Just last week. Pan denied the appeal of Russel Alford, convicted by a DC jury of 4 misdemeanors and sentenced by Judge Chutkan to 12 months in prison.
This is the thinking J6ers must deal with. (Henderson, on today’s panel, wrote this but Pan concurred):
“The trial evidence indicated that, during Alford’s brief time within the Capitol, he was neither violent nor destructive. Nevertheless, we affirm his convictions because a jury could rationally find that his unauthorized presence in the Capitol as part of an unruly mob contributed to the disruption of the Congress’s electoral certification and jeopardized public safety.”
He was inside for 11 minutes.
Her performance today was less than compelling–superior, smug, combative, and dull.
She clearly came in ready to defend DOJ/Jack Smith–and her preposterous hypothetical about a president using Seal Team Six to kill a political rival was a set up to result in all the deadlines we are already seeing.
As I have suggested to some officeholders and candidates–the DC federal courts must be shut down. These partisans are making some of the most important judicial decisions in the nation’s history and are ill-equipped to do so.
Judge Florence Pan is exhibit A.
Julie! Great info!
Wow treason
DC Circuit Court needs to be abolished. Convenient that all these folks keep their maiden names so they can avoid detection. (and vice versa)
At least they are ADMITTING that the election certification process WAS disrupted.
“we affirm his convictions because a jury could rationally find that his unauthorized presence in the Capitol as part of an unruly mob contributed to the disruption of the Congress’s electoral certification and jeopardized public safety.”
I don’t understand your first sentence. The feds, along with senior congressional staff and Pence orchestrated the fake disruption.
I agree. I didn’t make my point well.
Now that we know and it is on the record that the FBI orchestrated the event, it logically follows that the FBI disrupted the election process.
I mistakenly thought it was a politico article but it still is an admission of FBI election interference.
Babylon DC.
This really emphasizes the insult of the Ray Epps sentence.
The D.C. courts should drop all pretense and dawn white wigs like the Brits during the Revolutionary War as they are all clearly doing the the government’s wishes.
There is no justice today. And I wonder if there ever was. Is it all just a mirage?
Cue Stooge Curly Howard voice. “Oh, look!”:

@shellenberger
The new Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell court documents show nothing of importance, say the media. In fact, they shed new light onto Epstein’s sex blackmail operation. What’s more, the evidence strongly suggests that Epstein & Maxwell were working for intelligence agencies.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1743024304663728299.html
And one of those intel agencies was most likely Mossad, which explains the media blackout.
🎯
And if they were working for Mossad, then what country actually controls the extortion operations of government officials and politicians in DC? 👀
🧐 🧐 🧐
now cue the “Israel can do no wrong” crowd…
There is no “Israel can do no wrong” crowd. There is, however, an “Israel is always wrong crowd.
are you sure thats not the “every time anyone critiques Israel its antisemtic and i get a nervous tick to defend them” crowd?
😉
I’m afraid there are both, Arnie.
I’ve been called anti-semitic for criticizing Jared.
They freelanced. No chance they were working with Mossad only and our agencies have worked this hard to keep it under wraps, even to the point of murdering him.
I’m certain our intel types would love to completely lay Epstein at the feet of the Mossad and wipe their hands, a la Pilate.
Too much money to freelance.
However, they very well were probably “double agents (or triple, etc)”
The various IC (5 Eyes + 1) work in collaboration.
He could have had a deal with them- he wouldn’t spill dirt on anybody important (or them) unless they wanted him to, and he would furnish them with some of the dirt he collected.
Exactly. No one seems to be asking Who Ghislane and Epstein were doing all this for..
Right. He had the money to hire and pay all these girls. Where did that come from.
.
Well, Bill Barr’s dad hired him to teach at some swanky school, IIRC . . .
Donald Barr (who served in the OSS during WWII), father of AG Bill Barr, was the headmaster at the Dalton School that hired Epstein, even though Epstein had not graduated from college . . . he was just so brilliant!
Wikipedia page on Jeffrey Epstein Jeffrey Epstein – Wikipedia
Epstein just managed to keep going from one thing to the next.
Through his time teaching at Dalton, Epstein made a connection to Bear Stearns and after that, he connected with Leslie Wexner, the gentleman who owned The Limited. Les Wexner – Wikipedia
Our current Secretary of State was a student at The Dalton School. Antony Blinken’s stepfather Samuel Pisar was believed to be the last person who spoke with Robert Maxwell (father of Ghislaine Maxwell), before he fell overboard from his yacht, The Lady Ghislaine, in the area of the Canary Islands.
Just a lot of coincidental connections, I guess.
.
Yep. I believe Pisar was Maxwell’s lawyer from some accounts I’ve seen . . .
The same place all these “nobody 20-something tech geniuses” got millions or billions for company start-ups. Nepotism rules.
Because you’ve ask that question several times, I researched Les Wexner and found this which mentions Epstein.
https://www.forbes.com/profile/les-wexner/?sh=6ad8706de668
Les Wexner founded L Brands, a global retail empire that included Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works, and served as CEO for more than 5 decades.
His ex-confidant and financial manager Jeffrey Epstein was accused of sex trafficking; in mid 2019 Wexner said the late Epstein took funds from him.
Well, well, well, what do we have here?
😊😊😊
This backs up what I’ve been saying. Everybody has been caught up in what they’ve been calling Epstein’s client list, and talking about a human trafficking/pedophile ring, which is a gigantic distraction from the real story.
The documents don’t show clients. Nowhere does it say that anybody paid for any of the services from the girls.
They don’t prove pedophila, which is sex with children, pre-pubescent children.
They are only incidentally about human trafficking, as Epstein did bring some of the girls with him to other locations.
People were all caught up in who was ‘proved’ to be a ‘pedo’ by the mere fact that their name showed up in court documents.
Alan Dershowitz was Epstein’s lawyer.
Of course his name showed up in court documents.
This does not mean that none of these people are guilty of crimes.
Epstein had no visible means of support. He wasn’t selling girls. Who was paying him?
That’s the story.
Our government appears to be involved, which would mean that people in our government knew of the abuse of these girls and even supported it.
Epstein didn’t kill himself.
And you keep deflecting on this issue or in denial.
Epstein was indicted and took a sweetheart criminal plea that was sealed previously.
Dershowitz was named by some of the victims, period. And showed up on flight logs repeatedly.
The victims were underaged at times of acts. ILLEGAL.
The surreptitiously recorded videos of these acts are used for extortion.
Too many victims over the years saying the same thing. Most don’t even know each other.
Where there is smoke, there is fire.
Payment or not, these folks were engaged in sex with minors, human trafficking, violations of the Mann Act, amongst other things.
And Epstein/Maxwell were the ones blackmailing the targets of those victims.
Denying it does not make it not true.
I wonder what they used before Epstein? GOPe Speaker Dennis Hastert was a known pedo. I brought up that forgotten Jeff Gannon Talon News scandal with the Neocon Bush Admin. There is much more going on here with political actors & actresses & association with pedophilia & male prostitution. How about Andrew Gillium who almost won the Florida Governorship?
No I am not deflecting. I know EXACTLY what happened in court with the Epstein story.
People keep asking for a chimeric “client’s list”, as if prostitution was Epstein’s business.
The names in the court documents are not clients, and being named in them is no proof of anything, and all this is a DISTRACTION from what Epstein was REALLY up to, and who was behind it.
Where did I say Epstein wasn’t blackmailing anyone? Of course he was!
He was NOT MAKING THAT KIND OF MONEY FROM BLACKMAIL. SOMEONE HAD TO BE PAYING HIM TO DO THIS.
Got it.
Misunderstood you with the way you worded it.
And I agree with your clarification of “where did the money come from?”
My hunch is IC slush funds and revenues off of illicit activities, similar to Air America in Vietnam and cocaine trafficking Iran-Contra.
Why are we even talking about this when our border is wide open, bad budget deals by johnson, world war 3 , election fraud2023. This is what we should be talking about. We should be discussing the what if’s and what we are going to do, willing to do.
All this stuff you named, which you are correct about – why do you think it is happening or allowed to continue?
Because the folks being discussed are the key to unravel the extortion on our leaders that the blackmailers want to happen.
Connect the dots.
If we can wrest ourselves away from the blackmailers, we can force our government to do the right thing.
When our elected leaders keep failing to act in our best interests, or even their own, time and time again, there is a reason we don’t see.
We wouldn’t have an open border if these people would do their jobs.
Hmm

“JERUSALEM, NOV. 10 — Publisher Robert Maxwell today was given a funeral befitting a national hero by Israel, the country with which he developed an intimate and sometimes controversial relationship in the last three years of his life.”
Someone in Israel government is responsible for allowing those horrible attacks from Hamas to take place. We haven’t heard a thing about who.
Very similar to 9/11 in that regard.
It has similarities to Benghazi as well, and all anybody can talk about is whose name is on a fictitious list.
Exactly.
There were earlier reporting where field level intel had passed up credible reports of a pending attack but senior officials did nothing with it.
If true, the question becomes, Why?
The NYT suggests it was just a lot of bad calls and errors in judgement. Which means it wasn’t a series of bad calls and errors in judgement.
“According to those reports, the Israeli military obtained a copy of a battle plan that Hamas ultimately used during its Oct. 7 attack on Israel, but officers wrongly judged that Hamas would be unable to carry it out. A commander also dismissed a subordinate’s warning in July that the group was running drills and building the capacity to set the plan in motion.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/02/world/middleeast/israel-hamas-attack-intelligence.html
The ongoing war seems to be the excuse for not investigating fully.
FBI knew about ‘School Massacres Discussion’ Discord server that Iowa mass shooter was member of weeks before attack took place: report
The “School Massacres Discussion” server was flagged by a fellow user and sent to the FBI in November
8 Jan 2024
https://thepostmillennial.com/fbi-knew-about-school-massacres-discussion-discord-server-that-iowa-mass-shooter-was-member-of-weeks-before-attack-took-place-report
It has been revealed that a Discord server dedicated to discussing school shootings to which the 17-year-old who carried out an attack at Perry High School was a member had been brought to the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation weeks before.
While the server was shut down prior to the January 4 attack, the FBI reportedly failed to take action to ensure none of the members actually went on to act out any of the things they had talked about.
According to NBC News report, the “School Massacres Discussion” server was flagged by a fellow user and sent to the FBI in November. An agent reached out to the user for more information, but when additional screenshots were provided, they never heard anything back.
It has also been revealed that the aforementioned account sent messages in a Discord group right before the attack. Via his online alias, Butler told his friends he was “f*cking nervous” and “in the bathroom gearing up.” He also posted a short video from the bathroom to TikTok under the “tooktoomuch” account.
I find it very strange that the FBI is fully aware of and supposedly tracking all these mass shooters and yet, the shooting happen. It’s almost as if they are helping the shooters avoid detection so they won’t be stopped. Weird huh?
All the better to destroy the 2A.
correct answer.
Some of these shooters have had some pricey weapons with no obvious income.
They always know ahead of these attacks – the bigger question is if they are the ones instigating the attacks. I think it’s likely they are behind most mass shootings.
No one will be fired.
No one was fired over 9/11 either.
“Person of the Year”
Taylor Swift is a Psy-Op.
I posted about this the other day. It seemed to go over many people’s heads, the reason why I posted it.
It wasn’t about whether Taylor Swift has talent or not.
Taylor Swift has been elevated in the monopoly entertainment media for a reason.
Taylor has been involved in actions such as voter registration. Nothing wrong with that, but she receives compensation for it.
They tell us of her huge influence, she is able to get so many of her fans to register.
Okay, that’s true. Do we know if the number of fans who registered because of her is accurate or not? The MSM wouldn’t make stuff up, would they?
I’m thinking that in places with an unusual result, such as a popular incumbent losing, the MSM will put it down to the Taylor Swift effect, and look no further.
Music industry was taken over by IC a long time ago. They pick the entertainer , the songs that influence, it is all canned music. When was the last time we saw a talented “ugly” singer?
They are already using her this way. They have her and the disgusting clot shot pushing piece of filthy Kelce from the Chiefs all set up to campaign for the Democrat candidate in 2024. Taylor will get millions of stupid women and girls to vote however she tells them too and they are hoping Kelce can motivate stupid young men.
Agree 100% Sadly, my 38 y/o daughter is a ‘Swifty’
well I kind of liked the Backstreet Boys when I was in my Forties. I am now Seventy two and still kind of like them.
She gets enormous amounts of publicity in all media. Way out of proportion.
Keep this in mind…she is no longer the ‘dreamy’ teen idol…she is approaching middle age. I am hoping her fandom will be short lived, like her youthful appeal.
Shortly after the article came out reporting of her popularity amongst the youngsters…I called out that she would have a dog whistle to get people ‘in line’ to vote ‘properly’. it was around the time she was reported to be a billionaire.
EXCLUSIVE: Here’s How Turkish Smugglers Use Social Media To Help ‘Citizens Of Every Country’ Reach The US Border
9 Jan 2024
https://dailycaller.com/2024/01/09/exclusive-turkish-smugglers-use-social-media-citizens-every-country-us-border/
Turkish smugglers appear to be using social media platforms to help migrants from across the globe enter the U.S. illegally through the southern border, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of Telegram and TikTok posts.
The advertisements offer arrangements for travel, visas and transportation directly to the U.S.-Mexico border for migrants in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. Border Patrol encounters of migrants crossing the southern border illegally have hit numerous records in recent years, with more than 2.2 million encounters in fiscal year 2022 and more than 2 million in fiscal year 2023, according to federal data.
One smuggling advertisement shared on Telegram boasts a “GUARANTEED PASS” for $10,000, which includes a flight from Istanbul to Cancun, a Mexican visa, “CANCUN ENTRANCE,” a hotel room, a taxi, and “DELIVERY TO TIJUANA BORDER.”
My question is, where do these pitifully poor people from pitifully poor countries get $10,000? At a good job in the US, how long does it take to get $10,000 in your savings account? Are the NGO’s paying this with taxpayer money?
These days, I wonder whatever happened to MADD and the ACLU.
migrant?
Interesting if true:
Que up the American taxpayers.
Most interesting development in Dallas, TX this morning.
A few months ago, the mayor Eric Johnson (non-white) changed parties from Democrat to Republican.
Dallas is smack in the middle of heavily Democrat Controlled Dallas County.
In the muddled world of Texas Politics, this is a most curious development.
I suspect it is inspired by the Black Voters leaving the current Democrat Party and the rapidly approaching primaries. The over seers are chasing down the escapees … per Sundance’s articles on the “re-emergence Comrade Obama into the process appoint the next Democrat candidates for 2024.
Look for similar moves to recover lost black votes by attacking any Black Politician not a democrat or token uni-party member.
It’s not their party affiliation, but what they do that matters. Lots of 5th column Republicans in the party. As we saw during the Speaker selection. They now we’ll be so happy to have a black guy validate us that we won’t question why he’s not actually doing anything to advance our agenda.
YOUR comment makes zero sense … why would the democrats remove a 5th Column element?
It is all about the party affiliation with elections set to start in Texas in March 2024, with the primaries.
Eric Johnson also enacted policies that remove Shamdemic time period decisions. So, he switched parties and also started acting the part. Image is everything when it comes to elections at this point.
The “Dems” are not removing a 5th column element.
They are merely shifting him to the other Uniparty ‘party’ affiliation to counteract any swings of voters changing to Republican affiliation.
Black guy switches parties. Look! Squirrel!
I’m in NH getting an up close and personal look at what these people are all up myself.
We are seeing a lot of support for Nikki Haley coming from The Left.
Lots of talking head types out here telling their sheep on the Left what to do- to ‘strategize’ when they cast their vote.
It’s skewing polling because the Left is supporting a Republican candidate-and making it appear she’s so popular.. blah blah blah- we get what is going on.
First of all, lets not forget that even Joe Manchin spoke about how bad “The Democrat BRAND now is”.
A lot of them are leaving that ‘bad brand’ in an effort to survive in politics, and the voters are doing as they are told.
This is not about having seen the light and changing their personal values systems, it’s about political strategy!
What it’s showing me, that I’m not seeing people catch- is that they are really simply confirming that the Uni-Party is a very real thing.
These people simply go back and forth to ‘navigate’ the politic winds as if you are taking an alternate route to the grocery store to avoid heavy traffic.
The battle here not Left and Right.. the Left and Right are now one=The Uni-Party and then there is Donald Trump and all of us. They hate him and us because he’s going to destroy this one party system they have created.
We vote GOP because that happens to be where we’re required to physically vote for him- but we all know we ain’t really in that club.
In my opinion, Donald Trump is really missing the opportunity to take control of his own MAGA Party- which is out here, it’s a boat with no captain right at the moment.. We ARE “A Party”.
“You Needs Balls”: Steve Bannon Gives Advice To Speaker Johnson On Weak Glasses Logo

SB’s show yesterday was outstanding. It seems Johnson isn’t ready for prime time. Who could replace him? Any of “The Twenty” ready to step-up? Disappointing to watch, yet again, the Retards fumbling the ball at the goal line.

Another wave of protests sweeps through Germany
An action by train drivers, coupled with an ongoing protest by farmers, has brought transportation in many cities to a near halt
As a result, around 80% of usual long-distance services were canceled.
Commenting on the protests, former Russian president Dmitry Medvedev remarked that, while Berlin was set to slash agricultural expenses, it was ramping up its military support for Ukraine. In November, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced that his country would double its assistance to Ukraine to €8 billion ($8.76 billion) in 2024.
The ex-president also noted that, if the protests continue, they could result in a new Ukrainian-style Maidan – a Western-backed coup that took place in Kiev in 2014 – and topple German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. The latter’s approval rating has recently hit a historical low, with a survey by the INSA polling institute suggesting that 64% of respondents want him out.
Just a reminder that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz is the protege of Angela Merkel (i.e. he is a communist and leftist of the highest order). The Population, like other EU Member Populations, are shifting towards the opposite more “conservative” direction.
This is the risk of the Parliamentarian Form of Government … it can be harder for a single in sea of 3+ parties to control. The “long term professional” class of the German Government is not yet 100% converted as it is here in the US.
if i am russia i would also be driving the point nonstop that Olaf bowed to the former republic of the US and let the pipeline be blown up – so remember that when you get your heating bill…
It’s not an “agricultural expense” when you allow farmers to keep more of their own money by NOT taxing them.
I’m old enough to remember when the US was a relatively free country and the government didn’t want me and my family dead – or in one of their gulags.
Ahhh….those were the days.
I often tell my kids (all in their 30s) that this is not the country in which I grew up.
They just look at me as if I am out of my mind. They don’t even both asking “What are you talking about?”
Every day I weep for them and my grandkids.
Plus ‘no one left behind’, now gone with the wind.
I am often a critic the authors of “The American Spectator” due to their inaccurate and very shallow editorials and commentary.
However, this one is one of the best not written by one the Spectators best contributors, Scott McKay.
It is worth 10 minutes to read it as it puts into perspective the threat represented by President Trump as the nemesis of the Ruling Class Puppet Masters of the US and Global Governments. It compares his efforts to the words of Machiavelli in the most accurate and precise manner, which I have seen to date..
https://spectator.org/__trashed-15/
I do like what Scott has to say.
He speaks at many clubs in his state. The people love him.
Especially, the Republican Women.
He makes an effort to come speak at this one local Republican Women’s club
every year. Many people from around the area attend, and it’s always a packed house!
Scott McKay is the publisher of the internet political newspaper…

“Trump joins Fox News Channel on Wednesday, Jan. 10, at 9 pm ET”
https://www.foxnews.com/media/trump-join-bret-baier-martha-maccallum-fox-news-town-hall-ahead-iowa-caucuses
Is he getting desperate?
No he’s smart. There are still some that watch that channel. Not me but others, unfortunately.
I don’t even know what channel number it is.
🤔 Why would he be desperate?
Can you elaborate?
I see this as part of a strategy. He has been everywhere, engaging people.
Nikki and DeSantis did a Fox Town Hall already.
I just pray that he’s going to be OK, since his mother-in-law died last night.
No.
I know plenty of Fox news watching people who are PDJT voters. Some of them are even democrats. All day, every day, is Fox News. Plus, he needs to go there to attract the Nikki and Ron voters. He cannot just preach to the MAGA Choir. We are already firmly in his camp.
I think that the goal still is to get as many votes as possible in every state. So PDJT is going to need the votes of even the RINOs and many democrats.
PT should ask the Cabbage Patch Boi how early he’s going to call the “election”.
My hope is that PDJT eviscerates that pompous SOB.
Baier may call it during the interview.
I want to see Cabbage Patch in his little garb from Election Night 2016 when he looked like he was a little tubby guy with a string rope for a belt on his jeans! He was wearing his shirt, tie and suit jacket which was good while he was seated at the table but there was something else going on with the bottom part which we guessed he assumed would not be shown, even when he walked over to barge in on Bill Hemmer.
CP was trying to horn in on Bill Hemmer who was doing a great job with his map on Electoral Wins for Donald Trump. Every time CP edged closer to Bill’s spot, the camera man kept swinging in on CP’s midriff, CP would see that on the monitor and then back off momentarily and then try again until he finally gave up the effort. We thought that camera man might have been MAGA. Mom and I were laughing at this little dance and the camera man was our unsung hero apparently as we never heard anything said about that little episode.
Yeah that would be great!
Refr: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/01/freedom-caucus-members-weigh-motion-vacate-house-speaker/
Maybe they’ll get an honest speaker next time…………….
They can try. Problem is the person will never be confirmed if they are MAGA. The uniparty will stop that in its tracks.
I had a glimmer of hope Johnson would find his courage and really step up as a conservative when he got confirmed. He’s scared and will not do the right things unfortunately. A weak tool like the uniparty wants. Next.
Good. No Speaker, the entire House stops functioning. That is a good thing.
Now do the government.
odds are low you get someone honest.
at this point i am more interested in making the point and keeping the chaos and anarchy at maximum. they can do less damage when thats happening.
But at least he’s helping with J6…or maybe budget…or maybe spending…or…Nevermind.

@NeonRevolt Orthodox Jews escaping through alternative egresses?
Are you kidding me? The dude is literally coming up through a sewer grate and to you that’s an alternative egress.
Hey Ben, you idiot, how common is it for people to leave any kind of establishment through a sewer grate? I mean, that happens all the time right, very common, but you can’t call it for what it is and have to downplay to an alternative egress. For F sakes dude, you are pathetic
If I understand correctly, this happened during COVID lockdowns when Orthodox Jews were trying to get to synagogues to . . . wait for it . . . worship God (Gasp! Oh My! How DARE they!)
Regardless, what is abundantly clear is that the Jews WERE NOT using tunnels to produce weapons, smuggle in fighters, and kill innocent people!
So why is this an issue?
there is something sinister to that story, regardless of who the players are. and the media disinterest should only heighten our senses about it.
… abundantly clear
Tunnel: Just read thru your initial comment and the replies. TY
I’ve been trying to get a picture of this tunnel thing with the sporadic pieces of info out there. It’s been intriguing.
Hope bigger picture comes.

There’s an overwhelming amount of evidence at this point that Willis’ office is being operated in an entirely unethical and partisan manner, including multiple avenues for coordination with the White House and the Democratic National Committee, and every indictment coming out of the tainted process should be dismissed.

She is as corrupt as any Dem out there but she is getting a free pass at the moment. She should have been fired long ago and the residents of GA should be screaming for her to be fired.

https://rumble.com/v462156-gell-mann-amnesia-why-we-trust-dishonest-media-w-james-corbett-and-jordan-s.html
Why do we continue to trust the media even after they’ve been proven wrong so frequently? Michael Crichton called it “Gell-Mann Amnesia.” “In short: when we actually possess expertise in the subject under examination, we almost invariably find media representations of that subject are lacking at best and outright lies at worst,” summarizes James Corbett. “But, for some reason, once we turn the page or flip the channel, we go right back to believing that the other journalists and authors out there actually know what they’re talking about.” James Corbett is an award-winning investigative journalist who founded The Corbett Report in 2007 as an outlet for news and information from an independent perspective. He has lectured on geopolitics and journalism at the University of Groningen, the French Institute for research in Computer Science and Automation, and Kyoto’s Ritsumeikan University.
Understanding the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect: The Intersection of Knowledge, Media, and Belief
DEC 26, 2023
https://wmathison.substack.com/p/understanding-the-gell-mann-amnesia
In a world inundated with information, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect provides a critical lens to view our interaction with media. Coined by author Michael Crichton and named after the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann, this concept describes a curious paradox: the tendency of individuals to doubt news stories about subjects within their field of expertise yet readily accept the veracity of articles on topics outside their expertise. This phenomenon highlights the inconsistencies in our approach to media and poses significant questions about our perception of knowledge and credibility.
Their not mistaken about anything. They are now in place to mislead and lie to American public, as they support the destruction of America. Remember, these people have other countries in which to flee, once the collapse occurs. Commie are going Commie.

Yup.
The D.C. Judicial system needs to BROKEN UP and down-sized by CONGRESS. Why? It is quite obvious it is filled with politicized radical individuals who have quite frankly, paraded their political bias in their court rooms while hiding behind their incestuous relationships which smells of conflict of interest!
Julie Kelly, Mark Levin, and Mike Davis have been screaming this for years! My God, the injustice that has been slammed on any and all who enter the D.C. court system with these unqualified “so-called” judges is revolting.
Seen this anywhere in the MSM?

j6 Political Hostage
Episode 10: The Victoria White Story
By Lara Logan, Truth in Media
https://truthinmedia.com
2.8 million views so far on twatter alone.
This episode has something in it that I have wondered a lot about recently and thought about a solution. That something is how people were let into, and later pushed into the capitol/tunnels.
The question is when did this occur and was it simultaneous?
I have heard this now numerous times from numerous people there on the ground who ended up in the capitol or a tunnel. They got pushed into the capitol, into the tunnels, through a window.
Did this happen all over, and at the same time? Can we get a bird’s eye view looking down on the capitol, virtually, to see if there were any patterns, and perhaps who initiated those patterns?
I think we will find that this was all highly coordinated as well.
Remember, they had 4 years to plan it.

We’ll never probably never know.
Like we’ll never know who the J6 pipe bomber was.
Or who shut down counting in the middle of the night in five states in November, 2020.
Or why Loretta Lynch met with Bill Clinton at an airport in Arizona in 2016.
Or who belonged to the cocaine found in the White House.
I’ve known and shared here, since 20 Nov 2020, who shut down counting in the middle of the night on Election night. In fact, the evidence was in our face starting 20 Oct 2020.
It strongly appears that that is exactly what happened to Ashli Babbitt, putting her directly in line for the kill shot. She was lifted involuntarily by two unknown men into a window, something she would never have done on her own. And she’s not here to explain that.
So we need to not overlook it.
Who were the men who lifted her – and who did they work for?
100%! She had just decked one of them, and knocked his glasses off. He was clearly an instigator, because he was the gun busting the windows with his metal helmet. He was one of the guys telling the cops to go away.
Yes, they needed a dead person and Ashli fit that bill. The lamb led to slaughter.
I am so glad her husband/estate is finally fighting back. The man who shot her, for no valid reason, must be held accountable.

They should but it’s the states that have to do it and none of them have even approached doing those things including red states. Why is that I wonder?
We knew the cons of electronic voting before we went to electronic voting.
Ever notice that the major push for the switch doesn’t get any scrutiny?
We knew that the body scanners that the TSA uses were useless and harmful, even some in the MSM were saying so, yet here they are.
Same thing.
For forty years the vast majority of the country wanted immigration laws to be enforced, and yet, here we are, forty years later and demographically, the country is lost. LOST.
La Raza has won.
That’s an important point. Our government kept talking about a broken system and immigration reform. We didn’t need reform. We needed enforcement.
Sigh ,,,,how long are we gonna put up with their government living off our money?

1997 LA Times article by Alan Dershowitz
at the exact time he was raping teenage sex-slaves on Epstein Island
you can’t make this shit
It’s only Talmudic influence. lol
It was an outdated concept. That’s why it was reformed in our legal system.
When I was growing up, adolescent boys had a saying- “16 will get you twenty”.
Nowadays, if an underage boy has consensual sex with an girl his own age, he can’t be charged with a crime.
Desrshowitz is well aware of this change.
His argument about girls hitting puberty earlier is disgusting.
So, if a child experiences early puberty, she is fair game for adult men?
Sick sick sick.
Between the hormones in our food and the chemicals in our water, some girls are developing breasts at 9 or 10.
Dershowitz is lower than whale excrement, and he has been squirming for at least 5 years now, in ways that scream guilty as charged.
President Trump knew a long time ago.
https://truthsocial.com/@JuliansRum/posts/111723036360193172
The body does seem to be maturing earlier; the mind, not so much.
Don’t dismiss how the mind/though plays a role in early puberty. Especially when sexual content is constantly put in their face and on their minds.
Thought
I’m waiting with bated breath for the “these people are sick” phrase/plot twist to play out.
Oh my,
it tells me that those who sit it out for fear of being punished (the “what about J6??” crowd), will not be spared.
It reminds me of Kangaroo courts from the past that looks like they have resurfaced here. We have a major problem with the Judiciary. In fact the three branches of government have been co-opted.
Ireland was apathetic to its tyranny it was being subjected to, until the UK government executed the Easter Rising leaders. Something similar will have to occur here.
The US had become a secured CCP colony after the 2020 selection. Xis visit to San Francisco proves it.
How many Chinese made parts make up the voting tabulators??
Many people forget the ChinaGate treason. A big part of it was illegal Chinese money used to steal the 1996 Primaries & Elections. The Fabian Globalists Uniparty was worried about a Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan that was running on a campaign platform of thwarting their Free Trade treason and stopping China (and immigration). He had to be eliminated and after he won the New Hampshire republican primary, the largest saul alinsky media campaign I ever witnessed until candidate Donald J Trump in 2016 occurred, and between the vote steal,media attacks, and backstabbing of the GOPe, his campaign was wrecked, even though the R candidate who wins NH almost always wins the candidacy, further proof of election theft in 96.
At least Buchanan, & Goldwater, laid the foundation for PDJT & MAGA.
Good of you to be aware of China, just keep in mind, the rise of China is directly related to policies from the Fabian Globalists like the Council On Foreign Relations, the enemy of MAGA (and Pat’s Make America First Again, Buchanan Brigades)
The Ideas Made It, But I Didn’t’
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/04/22/pat-buchanan-trump-president-history-profile-215042/
Pure political misuse of power against political opponents.
Like Obama’s IRS.
Assuming, of course, that Trump even manages to get elected.
Yes, the left will go nuts. Will we be ready? (Ready to do WHAT? The rest of this column points out the futility of that. – W)
It’s ridiculous to believe our problems will be solved by offering another Republican caretaker government that serves out its term before the left comes back to wage unholy war.
JANUARY 08, 2024
https://www.theblaze.com/columns/opinion/yes-the-left-will-go-nuts-will-we-be-ready
Excerpt:
There is indeed an excellent chance the left will go nuts if Trump squeaks back into the presidency. Lowry is certainly correct that “the reaction will make the pro-Hamas protests that have roiled campuses and disrupted transportation nodes around the country look small by comparison.” Think George Floyd riots but on a scale that dwarfs even those!
And the left will also organize throughout other hollowed-out, one-time Western constitutional democracies (like Germany and Canada) to drive home their dissatisfaction with the American electorate. I would expect to see our cities set aflame, with race-baiting Democratic politicians on hand to incite mob violence.
As in the George Floyd riots, the corporate press here and among their counterparts in other Western countries will justify the violence as “righteous indignation” and, if things really become unruly, place the blame on “MAGA Republicans.”
This organized violence will be justified on the grounds cited by Kagan, namely that a Trump victory will be tantamount to a fascist takeover of “our democracy.” European leaders have been bellyaching about this danger for months as they note with dismay a populist resurgence on the continent.
Unfortunately, the right here or in Europe cannot match the weapons held by the left, particularly its control of education, the mass media, and the political administration. And the disadvantages besetting our side in this country also bedevil kindred spirits in other Western countries.
Most significantly, the left can unleash violence and be sure the media will justify their action and blame it on “racists,” “homophobes,” and “rightist populists.”
During the hardly spontaneous violence of the “Summer of Love” in 2020, the continuing Portland riots, and then the organized attempts to threaten and bully uncooperative politicians and Supreme Court justices, we see the left’s handiwork.
Joe Biden’s team is already trying to build the presidential campaign around the “January 6 insurrection” and predictably ranting against the new Hitler who incited this supposed threat to American democracy. Of course, the far greater violence unleashed by the Left has been simply whited out by the media and our totally weaponized Department of Justice.
No, we won’t be ready.
But!……..Don’t think PT will not hesitate this time to call out the national guard or any other force that is necessary.
Oh ….and it would be a great opportunity to get all the slugs at once.
Court Throws Out Challenge To Ohio’s Voter ID Law: No Evidence It ‘Burdens’ Voters
https://archive.is/6vUzn#selection-653.0-653.82
ohio is not where we need it.
It burdens me to have to show ID when I fly, it interferes with my freedom.
They are all okay with that, though.
No comment…
Roberts is a pedophile and a guest of Epstein many times.
Roberts was misidentified in the photos on Epstein’s island. That was not John Roberts in the photos.
Unfortunately people don’t want to accept that even though it’s been shown many times to be true. It’s part of the demonizing the “other” that continues to go on in the effort to trash any remaining semblance of trust in our national institutions because narrative.
True but in any event, Roberts is compromised and has been for a long time.
Scanning his account is a lot of claims without sources or article links?
Is this verified? I absolutely do not like nor trust John Roberts but he is not a stupid man and this seems like an unlikely story to me.
I saw it and my immediate visceral reaction was to believe it, because in this day and time, it is just too easy to believe. I posted it trusting the source, WRSA, who breaks alot of ground on many issues that are unbelievable (or at least used to be) at first.
Upon review (I don’t recommend it), at least on X, it is a deeply sketchy and disgusting account. If I posted trash too quickly, I humbly apologize.
It was just too easy to believe.
No worries – we have all jumped to post things that later turned out to be incorrect, probably because, as you say, knowing what we know, some things are just too easy to believe!
I try to remember the advice of my journalism advisor in college – “If your mother tells you that she loves you, get at least two sources!”
Smith is probably that stupid, but I don’t believe that of Roberts. Roberts would give up his control position that easily.
Not sure about all of this, but I did spot Roberts in the celebrity box with the Biden’s at the Kennedy Centre Honors. Is it normal practice for a Justice to appear at such an event whether it be Dem or Rep?
Someone posted it yesterday and there were immediately the same questions. I don’t know the truth of the matter.
You don’t think it’s stupid to have lunch with jack smith?
Isn’t that illegal? To fraternize with the defendent? Or is he a defendent? How can we ever hope to get things fixed if this is allowed to happen in our judicial system?
Yes it’s illegal. But if true, what can be done about it? The SCROTUS is the Court of last resort.
still waiting for the photo evidence of this.
This meme reminds me of the one started by Jamie Lee Curtis in the run up to the 2020 election when she posted on twitter a picture of post office boxes on the back of a service truck and added the caption PDJT was removing mail boxes to stifle mail in voting and no matter how many people comment those were being replaced with newer ones so the ones on the truck could be repaired and repainted.
But, if it’s on the internet it must be true continues because it continues to feed a pre-planned narrative and well-seeded bias.
See my mea culpa above…
Yep. We all fall for different ones at different times, it keeps people on the edge of the whole “who/what/why/when/where” mind-set which feeds the deep state requirement for people to start openly asserting that no one can trust government – all while
PDJT goes out of his way to use the courts, to use the system, to show it does still work
because the swamp getting enough people to openly acknowledge no one in the government can ever be trusted is all they need to begin rounding up ‘dissident’, ‘insurrectionists’, ‘enemies domestic’.
Not unlike what just happened in Poland the other day, the new government, only in office for 3 weeks, has already started arresting their political opposition because ‘narrative’.
I’ve seen no evidence that this happened.
I see much the same thing while looking for Dog & Cats needing adoption, owner/s passed away.
“Steve Connolly, an Iraq War combat veteran, was horrified by all the death and dying around him — not in the Iraq killing fields, but in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings starting in 2021, after the COVID-19 vaccines rolled out. “

Hunter Biden just crashed the Republican Committee Meeting. I think it’s the one where they are questioning the guy who sold Hunter’s painting. The Democrats took over the meeting and have him sitting at the main table and are proceeding to question him in the public meeting. It’s a Hot Mess!

why hasn’t “speaker” johnson sent the capitol police to arrest him yet?
Because the contempt of Congress must be voted on by the whole House.
Chutzpah. Pure. Musta learned it from dear old dad.
he learned it also from watching “republicans” who have no spine to challenge or apply consequences.
He’s probably there to slip a few Benjamins into the hands of willing politicians for no votes, if he hasn’t already bought them.
Black Byatch Crockkett has spent the entire time yelling lies with no basis in fact. WOW!
Mace made a self serving speech in which she dissed all other Republicans for not doing the right thing.
She was actually getting on the Dem Congressman, Raskins when she said that he is not being consistent on the importance of bringing an Contempt charge on anyone who doesn’t comply. And that she voted against some Republicans when they were held in contempt and he should do the same thing.
AOC is on. I can’t listen to this sniveling anymore. Out.
We pay these people and their GINORMOUS hack staffs to sit in front of cameras and preen. Nothing gets done.
Everyone must go! Primary them all out.
Not true. She was really crying outside those cages at the border.
This seems to be a good example of “look here, not there”. What else of importance is habbening today that the un1party wants to divert our attention from??
Arrest him for interference of of an official proceeding. Send him to the DC gulag.

Irony Alert – last night for no special reason decided to rewatch the 2013 German production called “Generation War” , 3 part series , very good -subtitles , had watched originally back in 2014 or so ,about 5 young Berlin friends and experiences in WW2
2 of the 5 are brothers in the Regular German Army , the older brother , a Lt . , who fought in France and his younger sensitive brother , newly drafted , who he had assigned to his squad to watch over him at mother’s request and the opening parts of the invasion of Russia in 1941 .
In one early scene , their platoon is assigned to guard the perimeter around some buildings while they await a some sort of special squad to show up , they don’t know what’s going on as it is behind the lines and quiet – then a truck load of thugs in civilian work clothes armed with steel pipes show up led by an SS major and they go in and beat and herd out men , women and children (Jews ) into their trucks , who were hiding in the buildings , randomly killing some , to the shock of the younger brother who was watching it , all the thugs had armbands with blue and yellow of Ukraine 🇺🇦- colors
When I watched it originally hardly noticed that – now that part stands out like a neon sign – weird – filmed in 2013 …
I can’t decide if noticing and remembering is a blessing or a curse? Good catch.
If you read the book Ordinary Men it explains why…
In a nutshell, murdering untermenschen took a toll on the psyches of the German police battalions that were originally used. Led to nervous breakdowns, disciplinary problems, and rampant alcoholism.
So, the Nazis basically contracted the killing out to their eastern “allies”- Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians, and Ukrainians.
Eventually, the Nazis realized that killing people with guns or blunt objects was not the most efficient method, and thus they planned the Final Solution using railroads, death camps, and Zyklon B.
I suppose during war everyone is your enemy.
JAN 10 2024 – UK Foreign Secretary: Support for Ukraine will continue for years, not subject of controversy as in US
David Cameron said on Jan. 9 that support for Ukraine within the country is bipartisan and not controversial as in the U.S., and that the U.K. is ready to help for many years to come.
[…]When asked about the possibility that the 2024 U.S. presidential election may harm Western support for Ukraine, Cameron said he was confident that the U.K. would be able to ensure its long-term commitment because it is a not “an issue of contention in British politics, whereas it is a little bit more in American politics and in some European countries.”
“We are prepared to support Ukraine through 2024, 2025, 2026….because this is absolutely the challenge of our generation,” he added.
Cameron also emphasized that the U.K., along with Ukraine’s other Western allies, must step up their military production to match the growing trend of Russia being transformed into a wartime economy.
[…]The coalition still “really needs the Americans to come forward with their ($61.4 billion) package” because the combined total of the U.K. and EU’s military support for Ukraine is roughly equal to that of the U.S. alone.
Cameron said he was “pretty confident” that the U.S. would eventually approve the package, which was blocked by Senate Republicans in December, because “ultimately there is a majority in Congress for it.”
The U.S. aid package, which was rejected largely over unrelated domestic political disputes, will likely come to another vote in the coming weeks.

NEW – All Swedes should prepare for war — BILD
why?
er…. “krig” means “war”…. but for the rest Swedish sounds rather strange
SWEDEN – Total Defence Service
Everyone between the ages of 16 and 70 living in Sweden is part of Sweden’s total defence and, if necessary, must help Sweden to prepare for war.
This obligation is called total defence service. Here you can read more about total defence service.
There are three types of total defence service:
Military service (conscription).
Civilian service in, e.g., the emergency services or the armed forces.
General compulsory national service, which only applies in the event of a heightened state of alert.
Conscription
As a conscript, you defend Sweden militarily. To serve as a conscript, you must have completed basic military training and be posted. After basic training, you will receive a posting and must follow the instructions in your wartime posting order should the government heighten the state of alert and mobilise. You may also be called for refresher training to maintain and refresh your skills.
You may also be called up for standby duty or, if the state of alert is heightened, for military service. The government decides whether this is needed.
The wartime posting of a conscript continues ten years after your last tour of duty, but no longer than the year in which you turn 47.
Enlistment
The year you turn 18, you must complete an enlistment form. The Swedish Defence Conscription and Assessment Agency is responsible for providing you with login details for the questionnaire and deciding whether you will be called for enlistment. If you are called up – and enlisted – you can do basic training with military service. If you are not enlisted, but still wish to complete basic training with military service, you can make your own application to the Defence Conscription and Assessment Agency. You can do this after you have turned 18 and learned whether you will be enlisted.
If you are enlisted but know you are unable to use lethal force, then you can apply for conscientious objector status at the Defence Conscription and Assessment Agency. If you apply for conscientious objector status, you may still be called up for basic training with civilian service or be required to serve your community in other ways.
If you are enrolled in the training reserve and have not been called for basic training before you turn 24, you must only complete basic training if there are special reasons for doing so. The government may extend your enrolment in the training reserve if it is necessary in view of Sweden’s state of alert, at most until the calendar year in which you turn 30.
Civilian service
Civilian service is about ensuring that important parts of society function. Like military service, it includes basic training, refresher training, standby duty and wartime service. At present, no basic training is carried out with civilian service, but the government may reintroduce it if the need arises. If civilian service is activated, the Government will decide which responsibilities the civilian service shall carry out. This could mean, for example, serving as a nurse, in preschools or as a firefighter.
If civilian service is activated, those who have completed basic training with civilian service must be posted in a war zone. You may also be enrolled directly in the civilian service based on any expertise or competence you may possess.
General compulsory national service
Those not enrolled in military or civilian service are obligated to perform general compulsory national service. This service is carried out by remaining at work or by carrying out other assignments, serving under voluntary contracts or performing work assigned by, e.g., Arbetsförmedlingen. These individuals assist with necessary societal tasks, e.g., water transport, childcare or food preparation. These tasks should preferably be related to your work under normal circumstances. General compulsory national service only applies in the event of a state of heightened alert.
What does it mean to receive a wartime posting?
In the event of a heightened state of alert, organisations must continue their activities to the greatest extent possible. As an employee, you may receive a wartime posting, which means that you are obligated to serve during a state of heightened alert. The obligation to serve starts when the government heightens the state of alert and activates the general compulsory national service obligation.
Can you be punished for not fulfilling your total defence service?
Yes. If you are subject to total defence service, you are obligated to serve in total defence as a military conscript, or in the civilian service or general compulsory national service. Those refusing to serve in total defence may be fined or imprisoned for up to one year. In the event of a heightened state of emergency, you may be imprisoned for up to four years if you refuse to serve in total defence.
What happens to children whose parents must serve in total defence?
Each municipality has a responsibility to manage its activities even during heightened state of alert, including providing childcare. If the government heightens the state of alert, and you must serve in some form of total defence, your municipality should provide childcare.
Must I serve in total defence if I am ill and cannot work?
According to the Total Defence Service Act (Lagen om totalförsvarsplikt) (1994:1809), you are obligated to serve to the extent permitted by your physical abilities and state of health.
Do I have to carry a weapon?
Only those who have completed basic military training or other military training are considered for military service.

Now we come to the real reason for the apparent rash of RINO rage-quitting incidents.
Yet in the 90’s the US/NATO was pushing secession/wars in the Balkans backing WWII Nazi allies and allowing Iran to illegally ship weapons to Bosnia, while the CIA/Saudi Arabia sent over 10000 foreign Islamic terrorists to join the radical Bosnian Muslims. Contrary to what you have been told, the secular Bosnian Muslims under Industrialist Fiket Abdic were fighting the US/NATO backed radical Bosnian Muslims. The Serbs were allied with Abdic’s Bosnian Muslims, contrary to what the lying media told you about Orthodox Christian Serbian genocide against Bosnian Muslims. All a complete lie & propaganda like we see now, especially with Ukraine.

When I see the word.”America” a vision comes to me of a country which no longer exists. Generations born since mine will never experience what I and mine did.
The project to deliberately destroy the family, the bedrock of a once God fearing nation, began with the monster LBJ and is nearly complete.
The government has been substituted as provider for everything from income to (a)moral child rearing. Nothing good could ever come from that…and nothing has.
“Progress” has taken on a grimy patina. And a sad, disheartening finality.
My memories, or as I fondly call them my “mental cocktails”, become dearer to me by the day.
A thoughtful article by the author who knows where we’ve been and the tragic destination which was always intended…
I want my country back 💔
https://www.theamericanconservative.com/bleak-houses/
I cannot find the words to express all the great memories your comment brought forth, so I will not even try. Ty dear Bet for your gift to me here.
Oh my, dearest friend…
I really, really needed to read that from you. It is said that the death of hope is the worst death…a statement worth contemplating.
We must not ever let that happen. Because with hope comes faith that Almighty God Who loves us is doing better things for us than we can (again) hope or pray for.
And it is that thought which should lighten our trials as we move from one day to the next, putting one foot in front of the other.
Thank God we are caretakers of memories so precious where we can, at any time we choose, retreat from this world and revisit better times and those we love still who have been long gone.
No force can remove them from us, just as no malevolent entity can claim our souls which are ours and the Father’s alone.
If you were given to revisit your memories, Colkitto, which I know are very dear and comforting for you, I am glad, so glad I took the time to post…which I almost didn’t.
God bless you always, beloved “Nephew”… always 💕
I’ve been meaning to chat with you on OT, I have to ask and show you something that will bring some cheer & good memories to you.
I’ve been dealing with some unpleasantries and had a strong foreboding that almost overwhelmed me, but my Spirit Guide/Guardian Angel showed me how to overcome that. That is why I posted that quote from Faramir.
Be well and God bless you auntie Bet. I’ll stop by on Friday and bring you some memories of enchanted Wales.
My salutations as always
The best CS Lewis book exposing the Fabian Globalists who mr Lewis was at Oxford with along with Tolkien. Note the chess pices
You are never alone, Colkitto. I am sorry you had to endure such unpleasantness, and I am overjoyed that you were given what you needed to overcome them. You are a dear soul with extraordinary abilities to listen even when all seems silent. So I am not surprised solutions came. I give thanks on your behalf, my friend 🙏🏻
I really do need to pick up my reading once more….another way to escape the world! We can go anywhere we like! My favourite author who allows me to shut it all out is PG Wodehouse, the Master of the Metaphor who makes me laugh with his sense of the absurd and the ridiculous.
But I do feel the need to become familiar once more with this wonderful man, Mr Lewis, who I think would be surprised to see his works becoming more relevant by the day.
(If you have a moment, please revisit the OT yesterday, page 1, where I posted about the Guardian Angels who were by the side of my grandson and granddaughter the night before. We all have at least one…they were together and so had two. Praise His Holy Name!! 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 🙏🏻 )
For you, Colkitto…thought of you immediately.
Which always should bring us to the “Shepherd” who leaves the 99, to save one….we each are ‘the one’ He runs after to save.
My dear Daddy….a poor farm boy from New Zealand…a “Legal Immigrant”….never forgot his good bounty of opportunity in America….and he took advantage of it….Daddy always reminded me of many things, his mini lectures, and back then, the voter idea…of staying out of trouble to not lose one’s “right” to vote….and to stay away from crowds….My quiet memories….
For you, dear Aggiegirl…
For all of us in this bless-ed place of Refuge 🙏🏻
We may not have been perfect, but we were perfectly imperfect.
As man has always been, TwoLaine. Nicely said.
If I were a meme lord: A rolling panorama of homeless camps, ethnic riots, decommissioned industrial sites, ghost towns, etc , with “America the Beautiful” as soundtrack,
I’ve seen one just as you describe, RJH…😔
Don’t forget the border invasion in your panorama.
This past Thanksgiving I was struck with a wave of nostalgia that I hadn’t felt for many years – memories of family gatherings from my childhood, when my aunt and uncle’s house was filled with all the grandmas and the cousins and there was so much laughter and so, so much food!
I had a large extended family and everyone lived within a couple of hours of each other so it wasn’t unusual to have 30 or 40 people at holiday gatherings – now, I have only a handful of cousins, most of whom live in other states, and we email or call maybe once or twice a year…I try to explain it to my kids and it just feels like it was another world – so much simpler, so much kinder, so much more hopeful!
I know that I saw it all as a child, and looking back, I can see that everything wasn’t perfect but I do think that life was easier in so many ways then and I mourn that my children didn’t grow up in an era where most people were honest, hard-working, God fearing (is that the difference? I tend to think so!) and relatively trustworthy!
Blessings to you, Betsy – those of us who do remember that America must never give up! We have to keep talking about it and fighting for it, for that is the only way that any semblance of it can be restored!
What a lovely post, sis.
I as well have been “absent” from this world over Thanksgiving, Christmas, and have still not “returned”. Like you, I have been subsumed in memories, so many. They very often come unbidden. They make me smile, sometimes weep, sometimes regret…a panoply of emotions which we are capable of only when we reach a certain age and can reflect.
And again, yes! There was the rough with the smooth. But in general our nation’s underpinnings were solid with a moral centre which allowed us to focus on our lives without looking over our shoulders or around corners for fear of seeing something terrible which would disturb, even end, our God given existence.
Thank you for telling me I wasn’t alone with my visiting the past more so than usual. I am finding we aren’t alone. We are in very good company, dear friend😘
(By the way, in case you didn’t realize about the Norman Rockwell above…
In the Thanksgiving painting, lower right, the man with his face turned is Rockwell himself! I found that so sweet. Nobody personified our America long departed as he did.)
They have been long engaged in tearing that America down……Mothers working…Divorce….working on weekends…taking away off holidays…..working more than 40 hours…goes on and on. First thing you know ….no Family get togethers ….no neighbors interactions, split up families.
One income was enough…once upon a time.
Then they forced mothers out of the home by necessity, leaving children to be reared by others.
The fathers have had targets on their backs for a long time. Remove that stable working influence and the disaster of young boys in particular with no guiding hand gives us what we see today.
A toxic recipe with these guaranteed results.
Women had to go to work because the men were at war. Thanks to WWII
But when those men, the fortunate ones, came home, the normal family structure was resumed until the mid 60s when Johnson’s Great Society was introduced. The dynamite which blew it all up.
And I have to say that the advent of radical feminism didn’t help either.
Mental cocktails! I love that, I’m stealing it!
I too miss the Constitutional Republic that was once America, with a working and mostly reliable legal system and a mostly Christian belief system, with even a polite respect for Christianity afforded by those who disagreed – in a civilized society. Where an evil Regime which succeeded in a coup against the populace didn’t contrive to destroy every vintage of a working, civilized, lawful, faith-abiding, defensible nation with a border, pride in its heritage and accomplishments, and citizen-encouraging policies.
This destruction would never have been possible without the XVIth Amendment, codifying a tax on the fruit of Americans’ work, a huge change already determined by the SC to have been unconstitutional. The power this one change gave the federal leviathan is turning out to be nearly incurable.
I grew up singing patriotic songs, which I loved. Now they are heartbreaking.
And now as of this year SS payments are going to be taxed again at exorbitant rates. I have to agree with you, Cheering. There is always a way to squeeze more drops of blood out an exsanguinated stone.
Since you love patriotic songs I’ll leave this one for you. I listen to this particular performance by the best choir which was ever assembled.
And I apologize if when listening you need to grab a tissue. The first time I heard it I got to the last stanza and wept buckets..
Final words?
“Great God our King.”
And do please, steal away!! A phrase my beloved mother in law used frequently.
The nice thing about those “cocktails” is there is no limit on how many one can have.
Though I must tell you, I can get quite “drunk” on them 😉

Hunter Biden just showed up to the hill looking high as hell https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f440.svg
5th Circuit trashes Biden dishwasher rules.
Reinstates Trump rules.
Slams Biden administration for lying to the court.
If only someone would make a disswasher like the late 70s Kenmore again.
I’m seeing non-stop Haley commercials online saying only she can beat Biden and that Trump is being prosecuted and voters don’t want him.
I know people don’t like to hear her name, but Ann coulter has said in a Haley versus Biden race, she would vote for Biden.
Why? Because if we are going to have a wide-open border, she’d rather have the Democrats be the ones who wrecked the country.
This is an important article and I urge you to read the whole thing, it isn’t that long.
Something I did not know before:
“Interesting note here…Florida’s Secretary of State was once an elected position, but under Gov. Jeb Bush in 1998 – just a year before the 2000 “chad” election, made the office a gubernatorial appointment, thereby taking the people out of control of their election management.”
Oh.
SOS! Sound the Alarm
Secretaries of State at the Center of Election Controversy
“SOS” is an internationally recognized symbol of extreme distress, especially for ships at sea. How horribly appropriate for today’s political scene, as our free elections are being blatantly stolen and our ship of state flounders on the rocks.
“SOS” also stands for our 47 Secretaries of State. (Alaska, Hawaii and Utah do not have the position.) Of the 47, 12 are appointed by the governor or the legislature. Why is this important? An appointed official does NOT answer to the people and cannot be removed from office at their behest. Those 12 states are as follows, with the asterisk indicating appointment by state legislature: DE, MD, PA, NY, NJ, VA, FL, TX , OK, TN*, VT* and ME*. The electoral votes of these states total 183, or 2/3 of the total to elect a President of the United States. If something is found wrong, the people are powerless.

Not good.
I’ll say.
We all know why Donald Trump couldn’t be there. Wild horses couldn’t have kept him away, so they used the legal system. What’s the excuse for the rest of them? It snowed?
“I am not going to lie; if you had told me that I’d come down to Iowa and cover the primary and find that amidst all of this, there’s a snowstorm, and Vivek is the only one still TRYING to get out and do events, I’d have called you crazy.
It’s primary season; how badly do you want it?
How badly do you want to get out and meet the people you claim to want to represent?”
Nikki Haley keeps lying about her saying that Hillary was her inspiration to get into politics. She just cannot be trusted!

“Hillary Clinton is actually the reason…that I made the jump, and so then I had to figure out if I was Republican or Democrat”
Did Nikki just admit Hillary is her inspiration?
And that she didn’t know if she’s a Democrat or a Republican?
This lady is a warmongering snake
We don’t know if she’s a Democrat or Republican either.

Hunter sits in front row as House Oversight debates contempt charges against him..What is he thinking? The Bidens are very stupid and powerful. A dangerous mix.
https://nypost.com/2024/01/10/news/hunter-biden-shows-up-to-house-contempt-hearing-after-defying-subpoena/
Are they really powerful? Or as Sundance is teaching us, is it just the illusion of power?
.
Is Hunter who Mayorkis threatened would take over his job if impeached . . .?

Back to Productivity – the BASICS that determine everything else….
1979-22 64/40 years = 1.5% productivity growth, terrible, and CBO has 1.5% for the next 20 years in print already, so GDP growth will also be about 1.5% as well
from 1950 – 80, 117/30 years = 4% productivity growth so faster GDP growth and rising wages and incomes for all, and you could buy a house and afford food and gasoline….
THEN on top of this disaster, while productivity went up 64%, Hourly pay only went up 14.8% as the graph shows, to the right etc… they should be equal in a free market economy, BUT when government takes control of your lives, like it did since 1960, you lose your economy and you lose your freedoms
VERY IMPORTANT CHART Above!👆🏻

Now New York is making kids do school from home so that they can use the school’s gym to house illegals. This is going to get worse. The citizens will suffer because of the wide open border.
Mercedes Schlapp
@mercedesschlapp
Whoever came up with this idea should be fired. The families should sue the government and the school district. Our students should not suffer the price b/c of the Biden Administration’s pure incompetence and inaction in stopping illegal immigration.
Being out of school for many NYC kids means being cooped up in a small apartment.
Some kids buy their lunch in school, so being suddenly home they won’t have groceries enough to fix something to eat.
They keep making America’s schoolchildren pay a price for something they never did.
Just one more way in which taxpayers are paying for the invasion.

Joe Biden: “We have put together, I think, the most extensive and inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” Biden and Garland are attempting to OVERTHROW our elections and Constitution. The CRIMINAL judicial system has become a corrupt mess of ROGUE judges who DO NOT UPHOLD the Constitution. There must be laws to DISBARR and REMOVE them. America is on the brink of communism by the JUDICIARY!
WHY is America ignoring the most obvious form of election interference that’s common throughout the world and throughout history: POLITICAL PROSECUTION? Between political prosecution, violating FEDERAL ELECTION LAWS and CODES of CONDUCT, a corrupt media and communist democrat party ELECTION FRAUD, ELECTION INTEGRITY is ZERO! POLITICAL PROSECUTION VIOLATES the HATCH ACT – a federal law. ELECTION LAWS are being VIOLATED every election, yet the JUDICIAL SYSTEM DOES NOTHING! America has become a nation of COWARDS and USURPERS against American citizens. When the judicial system goes ROGUE, they too must be removed or VOTED OUT!
The legal standard an election must meet, in order to be certified!
1. The voter rolls must be accurate.
2. Votes cast must be from eligible voters.
3. The number of votes counted must equal the number of voters who voted.
4. The maximum number of ballots in error, for a valid federal election, is 1/125,000.
Chris Christie getting out of the race could help stop Trump. But Christie won’t get out. We have a series of polls now showing Haley within striking distance. Does Christie really want to stop Trump or not? If he does, the best chance is for him to get out.
Build me the ideal economic team for PDJT’s second term. PT needs to find a place for Dave Brat.
For fun: What can/should Trump do in his first 7 days in office.
Rules of the game:
It has to be legally / constitutionally within the realm of the executive branch.
It needs to not require support or approval from a hostile congress.
My random thoughts:
Day 1 — Fire every executive branch appointee (there’s a lot you never heard of). Tell them they may re-apply with a cover letter explaining how they will support the President’s policies.
Day 2 — Sign an executive order repealing every Joe Biden executive order, effective immediately.
Day 3 — Declare a national emergency at the border. Sign an executive order naming every cartel as a terrorist group. Shut the border temporarily except for commercial traffic with appropriate paperwork.
Day 4 — Declare pharmaceutical drugs a national security issue, declare an emergency in that regard, and enact policies to repatriate manufacture thereof to the US.
Day 5 — Assign all 18,000 new IRS agents to uncovering the labyrinthine ways that politicians of both parties launder money — with 10% bonus incentive for every one. Assign US Marshalls to investigate the involvement of politicians from both parties in Epstein’s pedophilia.
Day 6 — Announce that he will veto 100% of every continuing resolution, and any omnibus budgets. The government will only operate on a budget and all budgets must be single item per department.
You get the idea…
Outstanding!
