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.

President Trump at Eagle Pass Tx today working on immigration.
RSBN covering and he will take podium shortly.
I watched it, he’s fearless, called Gavin Newsome “Newscum.”
Yes, and related by marriage to old scum!
Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick moves to force Ukraine aid vote — and undercut Speaker Mike Johnson
totally agreed. if Johnson cannot even keep his crew in line, solve the problem by booting him from power.
No one is talking about it, but after Johnson was sworn in as Speaker, they quietly changed back that House rule, regarding motion to vacate; takes more than one member, now.
The whole session, from the opening gavel, to “9days to select a Speaker” to all of the House Committee Investigate to Exhonerate, limited hangouts, from Comer to Jordan, Weoponisation to J6 redo, and Biden Inc., to the Motion to vacate, and 9 more days to select another Speaker, has all been a highly choreographed kabuki theater, with Matt Gaetz as Stage Manager, and Steve Bannon as Choir master.
WE have all been played, and screwed with our pants on, once again.
Party of Stupid.
Apparently “Mike Davis” places no stock in the Republicans being able to control House business like committee appointments and the types of bills that are brought to the floor, if they are even allowed to the floor etc?
“Mike Davis” is saying the opposite of what President Trump says. Gosh, what a conundrum! Who should we follow, “Mike Davis” or President Trump?
President Trump says to, “Vote Republican”.
President Trump has never said to ONLY vote for those he endorses.
President Trump has never said to ONLY vote for MAGA candidates.
President Trump has never said to NOT VOTE for RINOs.
“Mike Davis” is the Democrats best friend.
Thank you for stating the obvious. He shows us every day what an a$$ he is.
I could not agree with you more. In a choice between a RINO and a democrat there really is no choice.
From Fitzpatrick’s Wiki page-look at the places he was in….
“ At the FBI, he served as a national supervisor for the Bureau’s Public Corruption Unit, and led the agency’s Campaign Finance and Election Crimes Enforcement program. During his time in the FBI, he spent time in Kyiv, Ukraine; Mosul, Iraq; and Washington, D.C.”
Look where he has been. From Fitzpatrick Wiki page.
At the FBI, he served as a national supervisor for the Bureau’s Public Corruption Unit, and led the agency’s Campaign Finance and Election Crimes Enforcement program. During his time in the FBI, he spent time in Kyiv, Ukraine; Mosul, Iraq; and Washington, D.C.
8 U.S. Code § 1324 – Bringing in and harboring certain aliens
(a)CRIMINAL PENALTIES
(1)(A)Any person who—
(i) knowing that a person is an alien, brings to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever such person at a place other than a designated port of entry or place other than as designated by the Commissioner, regardless of whether such alien has received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States and regardless of any future official action which may be taken with respect to such alien;
(ii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, or moves or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law;
(iii) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or any means of transportation;
(iv) encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law; or
(v)(I) engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or
(II) aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts, shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B).”
The penalties set out in paragraph B range from 1 year to 20 years in prison, depending on the violation. A violation resulting in the death of any person (that has happened) can be penalized by death or a prison sentence of any number of years. In addition, depending on the violation, fines ranging from $5,000.00 to $500,000.00 may be imposed.
Obviously, these provisions of the US Code are not being followed or enforced. Other provisions of the Code prohibit hiring illegal aliens.
People, including government officials, are not being arrested for violating every one of the above Code sections. From government officials who are processing illegals in these Central American Safe Mobility Offices and shipping them into the US by plane, to the private and religious organizations who are harboring them, to the transportation entities that are taking them all over the country, to the city government officials who are harboring them in public and private facilities, to the judges and prosecutors who are releasing them onto the streets. All of these people are breaking the law and no one has the guts to indict them.
.
Thank you for posting this.
.
We know the DOJ won’t lift a finger, but where are the red state US Attorneys, or are they all Democrats, too? Surely some of the many who are violating these US Code sections are operating in red states. Are they all gutless, too?
And it would seem to me that they have standing to go after any of these people, whether in their state or elsewhere, because the Biden administration is shipping illegals into their states.
They are all Democrats!
No, many are registered, and ran for office as Republicans.
And there ARE NO RED STATES, Some are just painted that way.
US Attorneys are appointed by Biden. They don’t run for office.
Yes, thank you. I will forward this information to the unbelievers.
It’s the route to shutting down the NGOs and cutting loose lawyers on them.
“Obviously, these provisions of the US Code are not being followed or enforced. Other provisions of the Code prohibit hiring illegal aliens.”
These provisions have never been enforced, only in the most egregious circumstances. Assistant US Attorney (AUSA)guidelines trump the actual law. AUSAs set the bar high enough that no/few cases are actually brought (1324 cases are hard and messy). Add to the list, illegal entry, re entry after deportation, document fraud, assault of Federal agents, etc…
“These provisions have never been enforced, only in the most egregious circumstances.”
LOL. That’s like the DOJ having guidelines with a 60-day rule requiring federal prosecutors to delay public actions during the final stages of an election to avoid influencing the perceptions of a candidate – or tipping the scale for or against a political party. You know they will follow that rule when it comes to President Trump this year. /s
This will remain a problem until existing laws are enforced and citizens see people going to jail for violating these laws. Without enforcement, a law does not exist.

Real President vs. pathetic resident.
Notice how President Trump tends to stand with his head leaning just a little bit forward? Like he’s just taking it all in, the entire situation, wherever he is. I’ve got a few treasured photos of my Dad and his hunting dog from the 30’s. President Trump reminds me of that hunting dog. Always on the alert, poised for action, ready to spring forward at just the right moment.

An excellent interview, worth the watch.
Two take-aways, Tucker doesn’t know what he doesn’t know, and hus ignorance and wrong perceptions of Naziism, neo nazism in Ukraine and eastern europe is profound, and based on stereotypes.
Also Lex made an interesting point; he said he was over in Ukraine, soon after Zalenski opened up the armouries, and issued guns to all citisens.
Said crime went to -0-, as you might imagine. Hadn’t heard that from anyone, and its something that SHOULD be included in the 2A debate, IMHO.
Austin looks so unhealthy imo.
Is it him ???? I doubt…..
“Two Weeks” Austin
Spit. What evil bastards.
Lloyd “AWOL” Austin has demonstarted less responsibility than one would expect from, never mind an O1, an E1.
Absolutely love the fact that Matt Gaetz actually read Scripture — God’s Word — as he questioned Lloyd, and that he read how God deals with an evil servant.
Austin is definitely an evil and unforgiving servant.
Trump is speaking now

IDF Statement Regarding Humanitarian Convoy in Gaza
February 29 2024 ~ 44 minutes ago
👇
People are starving and desperate, terribly desperate. In the incident that he is describing, there are at least 104 people dead and more than 750 wounded, but hospitals are full or not operating, so there will be more dead. People who were there claimed that IDF forces fired at the crowd around the trucks and that tanks pulled in closer as people began crowding. Tanks ran over the dead and wounded.
Listen to him again to get the facts clear.
And listen to this for more clear facts:
👇
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/02/29/february-29th-2024-presidential-politics-resistance-day-1136/comment-page-4/#comment-10618330
Belle’s hearing is just fine
Listen to him again to get the facts clear.
thats because its not clogged with “because israel”
….Her hearing is always right…..but I very much doubt bibi or elensky…..like”clear” facts….
The man is lying. Even CNN (which is under IOF censorship) said, “Panic was caused by the IDF opening fire as people waited for food while casualties from aid trucks accidentally ramming people, eyewitness said.” That was the opening line under the title telling that over 100 dead and 760 injured.
This additional note on UN actions. “The United States refused to allow the UN Security Council to issue a statement to the press expressing concern over the deaths of more than 100 Palestinians in the northern Gaza Strip due to Israeli gunfire, a source in the UN to RIA Novosti. According to the source, the US declined to “not only condemn Israel, but even acknowledge that Palestinians were killed, rather than simply died.”
So, you didn’t think there would be mass panic by stupidly dropping supplies to Gaza? I love the quote” people waited for food” So, that is what you think was going on on the ground? This was not the Berlin Airlift where you could depend on a government area to drop these things. I mean, who do you think is seriously on the ground killing people to get these supplies?
My goodness, open your eyes.
It does not end up well …for either side…..
I don’t believe anything coming from either side in that conflict any more than I do with the war in Ukraine.
That said, considering that autonomy was granted to Gaza after the Israelis withdrew in 2005 at which point the occupants of that area destroyed any helpful infrastructure built by there by the Israelis, that that area has done nothing other than bombard Israel since then, and that no other Islamic country in the Middle East wants to allow Palestinian refugees to enter their country due their history of making huge amounts of trouble in any country that allowed them in, I have no sympathies for anyone other than the poor children of Gaza who were unfortunately born to moronically irresponsible parents.
If I were Jewish and Israeli, I’d make it my firm, ultimate goal to annihilate the military of any country that officially claimed that not just Israel, but Jews in general have no right to exist and acted violently in any way to implement that belief. The problem for the Gazans is that they have allowed their military to be buried directly under them.
Agree 100%, I beleive none of it. It’s not our fight and at this point I only care about America, our families, our children, our freedoms. and economy. Let them all fight their own battles. They won’t help us fight ours.
BRAVO! That last paragraph is awesome! Totally agree 100%!
Was going to write this post but you did it for me. I pray with every article I read about who did what to who, that God has the truth, that His will be done-He is the only one that has the truth and it’s His will the outcome.

Is that you, Mark Levin?
it surely sound like …ML….
we are going to see starving, desperate Americans in red states, probably wholesale labeled “terrorists” by the illegitimate, evil regime ruling us.. in our lifetime. this is going to happen on the once sacred soil of our former republic.
the difference will be, strangely, that suddenly we will EXPERIENCE what is happening now, and there won’t be this ongoing, bizarre blanket immunity applied to israel. we will understand who is the perpetrator, and we will unleash our wrath on them all.
No Red States, like Jessica Rabbit they are just painted that way,…
and yes soon we may well have to make hard choices.
Oh, gee. You think that starving people who haven’t eaten anything much in days might possibly do some looting? Israel purposely starving civilians as a method to kill Hamas is genocide and a crime against humanity.
This is not okay. Hamas attack on Israel was not okay, but it is not okay for Israel to kill civilians either. Lloyd Austin gave the figure of 25,000 civilians killed and Israel is nowhere near finishing the killing.
Belle I hope you broaden your resources for news.
Here are the articles on this incident from ABC, NBC, and CNN. All say that the IDF fired on the crowd.
CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/29/middleeast/gaza-city-deaths-food-israel-intl/index.html
CNN said, “The US State Department said Thursday that the US was pressing Israel for answers as they conduct an investigation. “Far too many innocent Palestinians have been killed over the course of this conflict, not just today, but over the past nearly five months,” said State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller at a press briefing.
“Meanwhile, there are fears – acknowledged by US President Joe Biden – that the killings on Thursday will complicate hostage and truce talks.”
ABC: https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/strike-palestinians-waiting-aid-gaza-kills-wounds-dozens-107666428
ABC’s news story says that the IDF denied shooting into the crowd of people, just warning shots. However, ABC interviewed a man with a gunshot wound.
NBC: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/israel-hamas-war-aid-convoy-gaza-city-dead-idf-opened-fire-rcna141195
NBC says that the Israeli military admitted using live fire on civilians. Then an Israeli spokesman denied that the IDF fired into the crowd.
Those three places are three places that want aid to Ukraine and not Israel. Do you ever stop and ask why? Where are all the atrocities on TV from Ukraine? And these three networks impeached Donald Trump and are still trying to do same.

Terror, Air Travel and Statistics
“Two books on terrorism and the “terrorism industry,” John Mueller’s Overblown: How Politicians and the Terrorism Industry Inflate National Security Threats and Why We Believe Them and Robert E. Goodin’s What’s Wrong with Terrorism, develop an ostensibly dispassionate account of the revisionist perspective on the “war against terror.” While some good sense may be found in them, these books abound with tenuous assumptions and partisan arguments associated with the Left, which attempts to minimize the threat of terrorist violence by “putting it into perspective.” Goodin’s thesis that a Republican administration is prone to using scare-mongering tactics, to “play[ing] the terrorism card,” in order to obtain political advantage, is par for the course.”

Why does the UN care more about UNRWA than needy Gazans?
February 29 2024 ~ 33 minutes ago
After murderous dictatorships told lies at the United Nations, Hillel Neuer of UN Watch told the truth:
“High Commissioner, everything we just heard from the world’s worst dictatorships, from state sponsors of terrorism, is absolutely false.
The truth, as documented on page 3 of your report, is that Hamas is the one that attacked and invaded Israel on October 7th, violating a two-year ceasefire, and committing mass murder, mutilation, rape, and torture, killing and injuring thousands, and abducting more than 200 people, from babies to grandmothers, into the terror tunnels in Gaza.
Today, we ask: What is the UN doing about it?
Its primary agency in Gaza is UNRWA.
We are told they do “lifesaving,” humanitarian work.
Is this true? Let us consider.
I come here today to present to the UN our new petition, signed within 24 hours by more than 100,000 people. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/r…
Therein, we recall the latest revelations. At least 12 UNRWA staff took part in the October 7th massacre.
Are these just “a few bad apples?”
No:
• At least 1,200 UNRWA staff in Gaza are members of terrorist groups; https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east…
• 3,000 UNRWA teachers were in a Telegram group that celebrated the massacre; https://unwatch.org/the-case-against-…
• Hamas built a terror tunnel directly below UNRWA Headquarters in Gaza, hiding a computer intelligence center that was powered by the agency’s electrical grid. UNRWA’s chief said they didn’t know. https://twitter.com/UNLazzarini/statu…
Is this “lifesaving” work?
The UN cannot say it didn’t know. Because we warned you repeatedly, in official documents, about UNRWA’s ties to terrorism:
• in Feb. 2018: https://undocs.org/A/HRC/37/NGO/111;
• in March 2020: https://undocs.org/A/HRC/43/NGO/109;
• in March 2021: https://undocs.org/A/HRC/46/NGO/136;
• and in June 2021: https://undocs.org/A/HRC/47/NGO/145.
America is now trying to help Gazans by giving funds to other agencies not infested with terrorism, but as reported by Devex, secretary-general Antonio Guterres told the agencies not to accept. https://www.devex.com/news/exclusive-…
Why does the UN care more about its failed agency, UNRWA, than about actually helping needy Gazans? Is this humanitarianism?”
👇
Belle needs to read this.
I had already heard that. 1200 Israelis killed on Oct 7. Yes. Terrible. Admitted. That is not okay.
But since October 7, 25,000 Palestinian civilians killed, according to SecDef Austin. Yes. Terrible. Or do you think it is okay to kill thousands of civilians, including children, as long as they are Palestinian? Destroy their homes? Starve them? Cut off water and electricity? This is also not okay.
The rule of law says that you arrest the people involved in crimes, try them, and if convicted, carry out the punishment.
If 12 UNRWA were involved in the killing on October 7, name them. Arrest them, try them, give your proof. However, nobody has shown any proof of which people were involved, how they were involved, and what they did.
“NGO documents” he is submitting are NOT objective proof of anything. What NGO? NGO’s aren’t an objective source. Put up the proof, show it, instead of listing accusations. He has a thick petition signed by 100,000 people……that is no proof of anything, not even that they read the petition. He said that UNRWA people said that they didn’t know that Hamas was using their electric lines…..if he thinks they knew, then prove it.
BTW, have any of you read the ICJ court case from South Africa? You don’t like what the court found so you didn’t read it, but there’s a lot of proof there. Actual calls for ethnic genocide by Israeli leaders. That’s not okay.
Cspan went to Biden’s “speech” when Trump and Abbott finished.

Secondly, I am sick and tired of hosers who claim the Nuremburg Code was binding law.
We have done a lot of horrible things to people since WWII, precisely because it wasn’t binding law.
A lot of hypocrisy, a lot of criminal abuse of people, but not breaking some special laws set in response to NAZI terror.

Handyman warns of migrants catching on to squatter rights
Squatterhunters.com founder and United Handyman Association’s Flash Shelton discusses the potential impact of the migrant crisis on homeowners.
February 26 2024
Not “catching on”, they are being coached!!
AFAIK, the squatter does not have to be in there for “years” (as that gal says) to claim rights.
Usually only takes a few weeks or months?
I think months in many states. It doesn’t take long. The situation is way worse in the UK.
In Minnesota it used to be 30 days.
If your relatives came and stayed with you — invited — and they lived in your home for over 30 days, they could be considered tenants.
And as tenants, if they did not want to leave your home, you, as the landlord, would then have to give them a 30 eviction notice that would start from the 1st of the coming month.
So if they arrived on March 15th and stayed 30 days, then didn’t want to leave — but you needed them to leave — you’d have to give them a 30 day notice that didn’t go into effect until May 1st and they wouldn’t need to be out until June 1st.
That was 30 years ago.
I can’t imagine how bad things must be for landlords now.
vigilantism.
our government has abdicated its responsibility, so we have a moral and ethical duty to act.
just make it happen. don’t brag. don’t talk. dont wear or drive anything that identifies you. don’t bring your cell phone. just act.

Replace ‘Germany’ with America. Putting aside the economic consequences, the loss of reason, common sense and wisdom is frightening. Brilliant analysis.
Bloomberg recently foretold the end of Germany’s days as an industrial power in an article that begins with a depiction of the closing of a factory in Dusseldorf. Stone-faced workers preside with funereal solemnity over the final act—the fashioning of a steel pipe at a rolling mill—at the century-old plant. The “flickering of flares and torches” and “somber tones of a lone horn player” lend the scene a decidedly medieval atmosphere.
Intentional or not, in their inclusion of such evocative detail, the Bloomberg writers offer potent imagery for Germany—not only because the country is regressing economically but because its elites are increasingly guided by an atavistic force: the abandonment of reason.
As hard economic realities lay bare the futility of its utopian energy plan and the consequences of numerous terrible decisions mount, Germany is experiencing what Swedish essayist Malcom Kyeyune calls “narrative collapse.” The peculiar offspring of this, Kyeyune argues, is a turn toward ritual, superstition, and taboo. It is a malaise afflicting the entire West, but Germany is suffering a particularly acute case.

Kyeyune defines this as an occurrence “when social and political circumstances change too rapidly for people to keep up, the result tends to be collective manias, social panics, and pseudo-religious revivalist millenarianism.”
The abandonment of reason can be conceived of in various ways. Quite a lot of ink has already been spilled about the irrationality behind Germany’s fantastically improbable climate policy. Indeed, the quasi-religious verve with which this program has been rolled out speaks to something of a loosening of the country’s moorings. But as we will see shortly, the problem goes far beyond an attachment to unattainable policy goals.
Prominent German business executive Wolfgang Reitzle argued that for the government to deliver on its climate and energy policy, capacities for wind and solar power would have to be more than quadrupled, while storage and back-up capacities would have to be massively increased. Such a plan is “neither technically feasible nor affordable for a country like Germany,” Reitzle argues. What it is then, he concludes, “is simply insanity.”
Michael Shellenberger, in a piece for Forbes magazine in 2019, points out that the initial impetus for seeking to transition to renewables emerged from the idea that human civilization should be scaled back to sustainable levels. He cites German philosopher Martin Heidegger’s 1954 landmark essay ‘The Question Concerning of Technology’ and subsequent work by the likes of Barry Commoner and Murray Bookchin as espousing what emerged in the 1960s as a much more austere vision for the future of civilization.
Shellenberger concludes that the reason why “renewables can’t power modern civilization is because they were never meant to. One interesting question is why anybody ever thought they could.”
The cohort who suddenly began thinking they could is the German political and intellectual elite in the early 2000s. Gone was the bucolic environmentalism of the 1960s and in its place came an aggressive and utterly detached-from-reality agenda that was imposed with millenarian fervor.
Before circling back to the idea put forth by Kyeyune – that the German elite is now mired in superstition due to the onset of narrative collapse – we must back up for a moment and examine what animated Germany prior to Bloomberg’s flickering flares and melancholy horn.
Modern Germany has long been an object of admiration for the West’s liberal elite, upheld as the ideal incarnation of the post-Fukuyama ‘history-has-ended’ world where liberal democracy triumphed and ideological conflict is a thing of the past. Germany, a nation with a penchant for militarism and authoritarianism, had expurgated its past sins and humbly assumed its place in the grand liberal order, magnanimously refusing to translate its economic prowess into bullying of others.
The country’s status was enhanced even further when the US and UK went off the rails, as the elite saw it, with the populist rebellions of Donald Trump and Brexit. Germany, with its staid, consensus-driven, common-sense politics, was the ‘adult in the room’, in stark contrast to the Anglosphere.
Meanwhile, its economy was humming. The hyper-globalization of the 2000s played right into Germany’s hands. It was a confluence of propitious global circumstances. China was growing at astronomical rates and needed cars and machines – Germany provided both. The expansion of the EU into Eastern Europe opened up new markets for German exports. Germany was prospering and its success was an important driver of economic development across Europe.
All of this helped foster what was perhaps the primary trait of the German elite during this time: a supreme confidence. It was this confidence that led Angela Merkel to famously assert “wir schaffen das” (“we can do this”) when confronted with the task of assimilating over a million migrants. It was the same confidence that led to the idea of jettisoning both nuclear power and coal at essentially the same time, an announcement that was met with a certain disbelief but also awe. “If anyone can do it, it’s the Germans,” was a commonly heard response.
Doubts about the prospects for the energy transition had begun creeping in, again at the margins, long before the events of 2022. Germany has made little progress toward its 2030 emissions target, and it is laughably far behind in its aim of putting 15 million electric vehicles on the road by 2030. It has had to delay plans for the phase-out of coal, and in fact even as of 2021 coal still accounted for a quarter of electricity output. In other words, rather than effecting an actual transition, Germany had merely set up a clean energy system that ran parallel to the dirty one. The clean one spoke to the narrative while the dirty one still powered much of the country. This could not help but plant the seed of the cognitive dissonance that would later assume such bewildering proportions.
Nevertheless, it was undoubtedly the start of the Ukraine conflict in February 2022 that has precipitated the cascade of failure we see now. Certainly, Germany has made many poor decisions during this time, not the least of which was its headlong plunge into supporting the US-led proxy war against Russia. Relatedly, watching Russia’s sanctions-ridden economy rebound and return to growth – while their own economy struggled – defied everything the German elites would have imagined. That in itself is a narrative-shaking development.
To quote Kyeyune again, it’s as if “the future that they were promised – and that they promised the rest of us – was one of continued Western progress, prosperity, and geopolitical dominance. But that’s looking less and less plausible, and they neither like nor understand the future that is coming into view.”
For the elites, the world is crumbling around them and nothing is playing out as they had desired, which has deeply shaken their confidence.
The quotes from public officials and business leaders offered in the Bloomberg piece are bleak and a far cry from the “wir schaffen das” confidence of a few years back.
Stefan Klebert, the CEO of a company that has been supplying manufacturing machinery since the late 19th century, said: “To be honest, there is not much hope. I’m not really sure if we can stop this trend. Many things have to change quickly.”
Finance Minister Christian Lindner told a Bloomberg event earlier in February: “We are no longer competitive. We are getting poorer and poorer because we are not growing. We are falling behind.”
Volker Treier, foreign trade chief at Germany’s Chambers of Commerce and Industry, remarked: “You don’t have to be a pessimist to say that what we’re doing at the moment won’t be enough. The speed of structural change is dizzying.”
The last quote, a lament about the speed of structural change, is particularly telling and makes us recall Kyeyune’s assertion that when social and political circumstances change too rapidly for people to keep up, strange flora can sprout.
This sense of no longer being able to control events and the fear this has engendered have bred a sense of impotence among the European elites – a sort of ‘deer frozen in the headlights’ paralysis – with Germany at the vanguard of this. No longer confident that their actions can produce certain desirable outcomes, the elites have shed their sophisticated modern veneer and technocratic sensibility and retreated into symbolism and superstition.
In a way this should come as no surprise. It is an age-old human response to the lack of control – think about rain dances instead of irrigation – that once again confirms the words of George Bernard Shaw that “the period of time covered by history is far too short to allow of any perceptible progress in the popular sense of evolution of the human species. The notion that there has been any such progress since Caesar’s time is too absurd for discussion. All the savagery, barbarism, dark ages and the rest of it of which we have any record as existing in the past, exists at the present moment.”
As a result of this, actions, emptied of their utilitarian contents, come to be seen as inherently meaningful only if they conform to the prevailing superstitions and carry the necessary symbolism. The policies being pursued are thus detached from reason in the sense that they are no longer evaluated or even undertaken with an expectation of a particular outcome – in fact, the outcomes are often quite the opposite of the presumed intention, leading to all manner of absurdities.
The EU’s rush to approve an absolutely token package of sanctions by February 24 – the anniversary of the beginning of Russia’s military operation in Ukraine – is not being carried out with the slightest expectation that a motley assortment of obscure companies and third-tier public officials coming under EU sanctions will achieve any policy aims. The entire value of the endeavor is in its symbolism. Because the symbolism is ‘correct’ the action becomes important.
Germany’s Green Party, a leading voice both in the fanatical climate program and the anti-Russia camp, has in the last two years promoted policies that have directly led to an increase in the burning of coal in the country. This is certainly not an outcome the party would have ever lobbied for. But its actions no longer have anything to do with specific desired outcomes; rather they exist entirely in the mist-filled world of symbolism and, in the logic of this new age of superstition, are to be evaluated only in relation to their symbolic potency.
Kyeyune gives what may be the most vivid example of this principle at work. “Germany still has one functioning pipeline through the Baltic Sea but refuses to use it,” he correctly notes, referring to one line of Nord Stream 2 that was not damaged in the sabotage attack carried out in September 2022. “The problem is that the alternative approach to meeting its energy needs means buying liquefied natural gas… and some of this gas comes from Russia. In other words, Germany still buys natural gas from Russia, less efficiently and at a higher cost, in order to maintain a quasi-ritualistic prohibition against use of the pipeline.”
Meanwhile, he continues, a similar operation takes place with Russian oil, which is now sent to India or China to be refined before being imported by Europe. It is “as if the act of mixing it with other oil in a foreign refinery removes the evil spirits contained in it.” In other words, Russian oil must undergo some sort of purification process before it can enter the EU garden. European refiners, meanwhile, suffer, while all sorts of middlemen are enriched along the way, and consumers are left paying higher prices. There is not an ounce of economic logic to it – but we have now passed into a realm beyond economic logic.
Policies governing energy, the lifeblood of industrial civilization, are now subject to the tyranny of ritual, taboo, and superstition. Such is the predicament of the German elite as it seeks to navigate the country through a turbulent period of epochal transition. The abandonment of reason is quite a handicap in carrying out that job.
The BIG LIES of PSYCHIATRY – Peter Gøtzsche

I thought this was to take place on March 2 after the convention caucuses?
Surely Trump’s campaign people know the ends and outs of when and how all this stuff is going to take place. Their convention is listed as Saturday 3/2/2024, so why would they need a resolution for 3/1. I wonder if she was trying to trip him up.
He looks lost. He also has his cards in his hands but probably doesn’t know when he’s supposed to read them.

Dr Peter Gøtzsche talks about his views on prescreening for breast and prostate cancer
Peter C. Gøtzsche, MD is a Danish medical researcher, and leader of the Nordic Cochrane Center at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen, Denmark.
He has written numerous reviews within the Cochrane collaboration.
Dr.Gøtzsche has been critical of screening for breast cancer using mammography, arguing that it cannot be justified;
His critique stems from a meta-analysis he did on mammography screening studies and published as:
“Is screening for breast cancer with mammography justifiable?”
in The Lancet in 2000.
In it he discarded 6 out of 8 studies arguing their randomization was inadequate.
In 2006 a paper by Gøtzsche on mammography screening was electronically published in the European Journal of Cancer ahead of print.
The journal later removed the paper completely from the journal website without any formal retraction.
The paper was later published in Danish Medical Bulletin with a short note from the editor, and Gøtzsche and his coauthors commented on the unilateral retraction that the authors were not involved in.
In 2012 his book Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy was published.
In 2013 his book Deadly Medicines and Organized Crime: How Big Pharma has Corrupted Healthcare was published. http://www.cochrane.org/

I think Republican convention starts July 15th.
Jack has nothing to do with the Florida trial, and will soon be removed from his illegal position.

BREAKING – SHOCKING – DEEP STATE STRIKES AFTER BEING FIRED BY CBS:
A federal judge Christopher Cooper has just held investigative reporter Catherine Herridge (@CBC_Herridge
) in civil contempt for refusing to disclose her source for stories about a Chinese American scientist investigated by the FBI during her time at Fox News in 2017. She faces an $800 daily fine until compliance, with a 30-day stay to appeal. She was just fired by @CBSNEWS with her reporting materials seized and then released following outrage. She’s known for pursuing the Hunter Biden alleged corruption story.
Judge declares war on freedom of the press.
Will the ‘Deep State” try to Julian Assange her?
If anyone thinks this fire in Texas killing massive amounts of cattle and burning cattle ranches to the ground is an accident, it is a disconnect from reality.
They are going to try and starve us and put a key backbone of this country out of business. This is horrific.

Whitewater, WI. There’s a UW campus there, so it votes Dem.
I referred a half dozen people to CTH. ONE of them read the comments Miguel started and in which I participated. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be back. And pls, don’t waste your time responding.
I texted those friends and told them not to waste their time. One friend told me to reread the section through my 2nd comment (out of order) and that of Dantes…Cat for a good laugh.
Dantes…Cat: do you have any idea how stupid you sound paraphrasing a quote about defending free speech even if you disagree, right after you and Alleycats and Lorrie just agreed Miguel could leave and gloated about my departure. Calling people bots and trolls and worse, telling them to leave, JUST because you don’t like what they say seems to be common practice here, if only from a small group.
If you can stop being so self-satisfied, you might consider this:
THE CONSERVATIVE TREEHOUSE STAYS AFLOAT BY DONATIONS, and you have no idea how many DONORS you’ve told to take a hike. I couldn’t get the contribute part to work, but top of my list when I’m out tomorrow for monthly shopping and have signal was to start donating. Only $20/ month, but you asses just cost CTH $240. Good job. As well as 6 new followers and their donations.
…” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday secured a major victory in his challenge to the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending package passed in 2022, with a court declaring that the bill was approved unconstitutionally.
President Joe Biden signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 in December of the prior year. The measure effectively set the federal budget for the year by wrapping the 12 annual appropriations bills into a single piece of legislation. Paxton, however, had argued that the House’s passage of the measure was unconstitutional as less than half of the lower chamber’s members were physically present to vote on it. Many lawmakers who were not present voted by proxy. Paxton had specifically challenged stipulations in the bill that affect his state.”…..
