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.

Scott Ritter’s new article on Russia and the Russian economy deals with the effects of the western sanctions on Russia has several interesting observations.
His theory is that western sanctions on specific oligarchs – who were aligned with the west and western investments – have reduced their power and influence in Russian society and the Russian economy.
The power of local politicians whose main goal was lining their own pockets has been undermined by Russians’ growing patriotism due to the conflict in Ukraine. “Vladimir Putin has drawn upon this new patriotism and the mandate provided by his electoral victory to redefine the modern Russian political class, and by doing so, putting in motion the kind of structural changes necessary for Russia to continue to grow and thrive” in a future AFTER Putin steps down from office.
President Putin stated this. “Russia’s success and prosperity cannot and should not depend on one single person or one political party, or political force alone. We need a broad base for developing democracy in our country and for continuing the transformations we have begun. It is my conviction that a mature civil society is the best guarantee that this development will continue. Only free people in a free country can be genuinely successful. This is the foundation for both economic growth and political stability in Russia. We will do all we can to ensure that everyone here can realize their talents and abilities, to ensure that a genuinely multiparty system develops and that personal freedoms are strengthened.”

What a wonder this world would be in the hands of such wise men.
People should not go too overboard on Putin as some great firebrand of liberty. Even as corrupted as American has become, Russia is still worse in terms of individual freedom. There is no Bill of Rights in Russia, so Russian subjects are still exposed to arrest by the government for anything – or for nothing. There is a very restricted form of freedom of speech. It’s okay, unless you speak out on politics. If you have a loud voice and speak in opposition to Putin, you can expect some very unpleasant visits from strangers, prison, or worse.
Putin says “Russia’s success and prosperity cannot and should not depend on one single person or one political party, or political force alone. We need a broad base for developing democracy in our country and for continuing the transformations we have begun.” And yet Putin himself is the ‘single person’ and ‘political party’ that has been the sole ruler of Russia for 25 years. Putin is as practiced in the art of doublespeak as even the most accomplished Uniparty purveyor.
Many people, including myself, recognize that Putin is in the right when it comes to Ukraine. That the whole point of the Ukraine war is to dislodge Putin, the one independent, powerful leader left on the planet that has not been co-opted by the Globalist, WEF depopulation death cult. For that reason alone, I support what he is doing in Ukraine. But this is not George Washington we are talking about. This is no champion of representative government, by the people, for the people. His words should be taken with that in mind, and with a huge grain of salt.
Vladimir Putin, his policies, and the highly capable people he put in power saved Russia as a sovereign nation.
He took a failing, collapsing nation in 1999 and put it on its feet, began the long process of ending corruption, western plunder, and western-sponsored terrorism. Supported religious, patriotic, and family values and refused to allow destructive western values to embed. Supported small business and merit as a value in education. Kept the huge and tremendously diverse country cohesive against wily opponents who paid millions to subvert it with the Soros-paid and corrupt Navalny and western NGO’s. With such gifted choices such as Elvira Nebuillina and Sergey Lavrov, Russia has navigated successfully through the pitfalls and wily schemes of powerful and wealthy competitors, world intelligence services, enemies, and those who would plunder Russia for their own profit.
Vladimir Putin is the single person who led the recovery. You see double-speak? I don’t. I read his major speeches and have come to believe that he is one of the most honest and intelligent leaders in the world. Far more honest than Biden or Obama or Bush, Congress, or most of the leadership of the EU. And his policies are clear, clearly stated, and obviously planned.
SSI reaches about 7M recipients… now it’s on deck to expand to folks who qualify for SNAP benefits (closer to 42M).
Under the final rule, beginning September 30, 2024, the agency will expand the definition of a public assistance household to include households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments and households where not all members receive public assistance. The expanded definition will allow more people to qualify for SSI, increase some SSI recipients’ payment amounts, and reduce reporting burdens for individuals living in public assistance households.
The revised rule also changes the definition of a public assistance household when determining who in a household receives public assistance. The new rule defines a public assistance household as one that has both an SSI applicant or recipient, and at least one other household member who receives one or more of the listed means-tested public income-maintenance (PIM) payments (the any other definition). The previous policy required all household members to receive public assistance. This change benefits SSI recipients living in households where only some members receive public assistance.
https://blog.ssa.gov/social-security-to-expand-access-to-ssi-program-by-updating-definition-of-a-public-assistance-household/
one thing i noticed missing…each state has to determine whether they want to contribute to SSI or not 😛
Thanks!
I never knew that the states provide even more:
The SSI disability benefit provided by the federal government is the same in all states. But in most states, SSI recipients can also receive an additional state supplementary payment from their state, giving them a monthly benefit amount that’s higher than the federal amount
In some States that make those additional supplementary payments, in the fine print, the individual is signing over their assets when they pass away as those States consider it to be reimbursement. Similar to when some seniors go on State assistance to afford a nursing home, any asset valued over $5,000 becomes the property of the State.
This is why some States do not participate, they don’t want to be targets of the wrath of heirs.

292,000 Americans died in Europe during ww2, 671,000 injured
and what does Netanyahu say?
Israeli gratitude for British Army deaths in
WWII…
“The killing of 784 British police officers, servicemen, Crown servants and civilian staff by Jewish terrorists in the Palestine Mandate crisis between 1944–48.
The British government’s attempt to “forget” the sacrifice of these servicemen is very reminiscent of another similarly embarrassing episode, the murderous Israeli attack on the USS Liberty in 1967.
The British servicemen and police were a peacekeeping force serving in the British Palestine Mandate after the war. This Mandate was part of the Balfour Declaration after the British defeated the Ottoman Turks which controled Palestine and it was due to elapse in May, 1948.
The young British servicemen and police, many of whom had come straight from the war in Europe and had taken part in the liberation of such camps as Bergen-Belsen, only to find themselves shot at and blown up by Jewish terrorists. Their deaths left a lasting bitterness among the veterans and their families.
The deaths included the hanging by piano wire of two 20-year-old British Army sergeants, Mervyn Paice and Clifford Martin, who in 1947 were kidnapped by Irgun and held hostage for three weeks. Their bodies were left hanging in a eucalyptus grove and were booby trapped with land mines.
Also the 100 British Army personnel, Crown servants and civilians who were murdered by means of a huge bomb planted by the Irgun in the basement of the King David Hotel, Jerusalem in July 1946. Another 28 British soldiers died in the bombing of the Haifa Cairo train.
The terrorism spread to Britain. Last weekend’s wreath-laying ceremony near Trafalgar Square took place at the site of the British Colonies Club, which was bombed by members of the Irgun terrorist group on 7th March 1947 when numerous people were injured and maimed.”
and your point is to hold the nation of Israel for actions in WWII…let’s do this:
We need to give the native Indians in the US a whole lotta land for wiping out their tribes when our ancestors came to this land…whoops we did, they now have lots of casinos 😛
That was Menachem Begin who did this…
“The deaths included the hanging by piano wire of two 20-year-old British Army sergeants, Mervyn Paice and Clifford Martin, who in 1947 were kidnapped by Irgun and held hostage for three weeks. Their bodies were left hanging in a eucalyptus grove and were booby trapped with land mines.”
We were doing business with a man from the middle east, and when he and his wife visited they were very proud of the fact that they could trace not only their ancestry back 1,000 years but could remember all the things that had caused their ancestors grief – as if the insults had just happened to a family member last week.
This is why we need to stay out of the middle east, it is the Hatfield’s vs the McCoy’s on steroids.
But, just my opinion.
There is a great book called Blood Brothers by Elias Chacour that I would recommend everyone to read that is extremely enlightening as to what went down in Israel/Palestine after WWII. No matter your views on the subject, this book sheds light on the never ending conflict between Christians/Jews/Arabs of the region.
They just can’t get along, in part because of the relugious differences. But the religions also get co-opted by ruthless people who are not religious but use it as a shield and a ploy to get what they want. Rabbi Yaakov Shapiro explains how the Zionists used Judiasm that way in his 1300-page book Empty Wagon, and I think the whole “House of Saud” does the same for Muslims. I doubt any of the 20,000 Saudi princes believe any Muslim teacings.
.
Perhps Britain should have turned the land over to the Israelis as originally planned, instead of giving much more to the Arabs and then d’ing around for decades playing colonialist games with the Jews.
(By the way, you’ve posted this before. I worry that the constant anti-Jew comments from you make this board look like we have “white Christian nationalists” aka “Nazis” here like the left would love to portray MAGA.)
.
Zee Juden Hass never stops with zis vun.
My thoughts exactly!
I’m only concerned about the United States. Sorry if that bothers other folks! With President Trump on trial and potentially facing 96 years in prison and Republicans falling over themselves to give Israel billions of dollars while ignoring the problems here. What am I missing?
As for your question. The British defeated the Turkish Army after brutal battles in Gallipolli, Mesopotamia and Palestine in 1918. The British Palestinian Mandate had an obligation to protect both the Jewish and Arab population fairly which they did. As for turning Palestine over sooner the British had to defend the Suez Canal while fighting Germany in Europe and Japan in Asia.
I think they were preoccupied with other things!
When the Brits lost India about 1947, they decided to get out of Palestine in 1948. Their whole empire idea/reason for being since they lost 13 of their 17 N. American colonies was to keep India. Once that was gone, they sort of said, “Forget it/Screw it”. They never cared either for the Jews or the Arabs. They just used them till it wasn’t worth it any longer.
Genuine question no sarc intended.
What has Israel done for anyone ever, off the top of my head I cannot think of anything, educate me.
Supplementary question, why is C J’s statement of facts an “anti-Jew comment”.
From one of the comments:
And who stood by and watched the genocide in Cambodia, Biafra, Guatemala, Burundi, Equatorial Guinea, Indonesia and many more.
I remember volunteering when many Cambodian boat people were being brought to the USA, taught them basic English, how to ride a bus, what to do in an earthquake, that kind of thing. The Cambodian refugees were very gracious people.
And they continue to be. It’s such a shame their politicians have sold the country to China, who treat them very poorly.
It was the Soviet Union that liberated concentration camps at Majdanek, Auschwitz, Stutthof, Gross-Rosen, Theresienstadt, Ravensbreuck, Sachsenhausen, and several other smaller camps.
This was done at the cost of thousands of Soviet soldiers lives. Soviet soldiers were horrified at the conditions of concentration camps and made every effort with the assistance of the Red Cross to save lives of inmates they discovered.
Please share where the Soviets lost thousands of soldiers liberating these camps. I have never seen this mentioned. Americans liberated Buchenwald and Dachau and the British Bergen-Belsen. Did they lose any men?
Umm, there were captured American soldiers, of Jewish descent, who would like to have a word with you, Bibi.
Oh, wait!
.
We didn’t enter WWII to save the Jews.
.
And no one would have entered it to save them.
The allies fought to save non-Jews from Hitler.
Netanyahu is correct. By the time the Allies liberated the camps most of the Jews had been put through the gas chambers and the ovens. Many knew for some time that the Holocaust was happening but there was no political or military effort to stop it. If the will was there, it could have been stopped.
He’s right; they didn’t come to the aid of Jewish citizens until toward the end of the WWII and then afterwards with the whole ‘never again’ mantra that is quickly being ignored by the new world order fascism movement, picking sides against the Jewish people as if there had been no final solution.
Performance art….
They “should” be more concerned with illegal migration and Islamic take over of their country.
I think there is a memory care ward missing some residence and stop by 1600 Penn to pick up the man that should be in the room, at the end of their hallway.
Sad what the British have become.
It’s not just the British! Look around you. Do you see the effects of indoctrinating our children instead of teaching them? Do you see the attempts to change our history to better control our future? Most of the world is just a mess, while most stand around watching it happen.
Were they arrested?
I certainly hope so, but I also think they were not and if they were they were back on the street very soon.
Stop oil? LOL. Regress to living in the Dark Ages, then. That does not sound good to me at all.

The Week in Israel News: The World’s Upside-Down Response to Oct. 7 Gets Even Worse
https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/05/10/week-israel-news-worlds-upside-down-response-oct-7-gets-worse/
Rewarding Palestine After Oct. 7
On Friday, the representatives of 143 countries that belong to the United Nations voted to declare the Palestinian Authority “peace-loving” and to extend certain rights and privileges to the so-called state of Palestine in the U.N. The resolution expresses “deep regret and concern” that the U.S. voted against admitting the Palestinian Authority into the U.N. in April.
As Brett Schaefer, a Heritage Foundation research fellow, explained, the Palestinian territories lack key characteristics of statehood and both the extremist organizations that rule the West Bank and Gaza reward and encourage terrorism against civilians.
The U.N. resolution also opens an interesting can of worms because U.S. law forbids funding to U.N. bodies that give the Palestine Liberation Organization (the political party that controls the Palestinian Authority) the same standing as member states.
Although only the Palestinian Authority represents “Palestine” in the U.N., this attempt to induct “Palestine” into the global body seems a reward for terrorism and an intentional rebuke to Israel’s attempt to defend itself from that terrorism.
Gilad Erdan, Israel’s ambassador to the U.N., shredded a copy of the U.N. Charter to demonstrate how the resolution undermines it.
The UN needs to be abandoned and reduced to simple actions that do not try and dominate the countries involved. Make it a social club. Not one country needs to give the UN any power, authority or control over their sovereignty. One of my wishes is that the USA withdraw from membership and funding this organization of political power. No more USA involvement in the UN and no more American dollars put into the UN.

The obama land grab….I’ve mentioned it before on CTH, and it’s never generated much interest…but I believe it to be very very important….because….just like surface real estate subsurface real estate is all about location location location.
The numbers shift like the desert sands but one number I have seen Is 554,594,000 acres…or so….all placed under federal jurisduction…by the oblahblah admin.
And a high percentage of the seized land, sometimes using the 1906 Antiquities Act, overlays oil shale prospects….akin to the Permian Basin….as in massive oil and natural gas production and miles and miles and miles of good paying jobs and economic activity….
It’s been hauled into the abyss of the leftist federal government bureaucracy…it has weaponized energy production against the citizens of our nation and is being used to pursue the collapse of the US of A by leftist/globalist elements….and it bears research and discussion.
Do you have a link to these latest moves?
This is one thing I do follow so always trying to stay ahead of where the next land grab is being focused toward.

The Gaza Pier Situation is tenuous and a possible set up for Beirut Barracks 2.0 | The Gateway Pundit
The Biden Team made a policy decision to generate and deploy U.S. Army and U.S. Navy resources to create such a pier. The whole endeavor was announced simultaneously with the release of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget submission to Congress which eliminated more aircraft and ships than were lost at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Every line item of resources relevant to the Gaza Pier building went downward, which meant for every floating modular causeway section used, there were no replacements bought, and the likelihood of these sections being recovered and re-used is low. The pier building project was just completed and has now received its first hostile fire from Hamas.
“NC Court Rules Federal PREP Act Protects Forced Vaccination Without Parental Consent”
– DailyClout
“A North Carolina Court of Appeals found that a clinic, where personnel gave a 14-year-old boy a COVID-19 shot without his consent or parental consent, was protected by the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (PREP Act). The court concluded that the Guilford Board of Education, which hosted the clinic, was also covered by the PREP Act.
Despite calling the act of forcing a child to get a COVID-19 shot against his will and without his parent’s consent, “egregious,” the court unanimously concluded that the PREP Act preempted state law and protected the defendants from being held liable for battery, violation of Tanner’s mother’s constitutional liberty and parental rights, and violation of Tanner’s bodily autonomy and plaintiffs’ federal constitutional rights.” …….
We have George W Bush to thank for signing this into law in 2004.
“preempted…constitutional rights”
No. ABSOLUTELY NOT. There isn’t any law that can override “constitutional rights” – which are NOT rights granted by the Constitution, but rights the government are required to PROTECT and forbidden from trying to circumvent or override. They should push this all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary to overturn it.

Google has funded EcoHealth’s virus research for at least 14 years
– The Expose (expose-news.com)
It turns out that Google.org, the charity arm of Google, has been funding studies carried out by EcoHealth Alliance researchers, including Peter Daszak, for at least 14 years. A 2010 study on bat flaviviruses lists both Daszak and EcoHealth vice president Jonathan Epstein as authors – and like the 2018 study mentioned above, this 2010 study thanks Google for funding it.
Yet another paper on henipavirus spillover that was published in 2014 shows the same authors and funding from Google, demonstrating a lengthy relationship between these entities.
Natalie Winters – who first wrote about Google funding research conducted by Daszak’s EcoHealth Alliance in 2021 – posted a Twitter thread about it earlier this month to remind us. Her thread also lists another paper published in 2015, tying Google to Daszak and EcoHealth.
September 24, 2015 – Google Ventures has added $1 million to a recent $30 million funding for Metabiota Inc., a company that uses epidemiologists and big-data analytics to forecast and track disease outbreaks. Google Ventures will also partner with Metabiota, offering its big-data expertise to help the company …
Metabiota has received funding from the US Department of Defense and has worked with the Pentagon on bioresearch projects. The company has also been involved in the development of biodefense strategies and has advised governments and companies on health epidemics.Hunter Biden has been involved with Metabiota as a board member and has received compensation for his work with the company.

The People Setting America on Fire – Tablet Magazine
An investigation into the witches’ brew of billionaires, Islamists, and leftists behind the campus protests
“… The “movement,” in turn, while it recruits from among students and other self-motivated radicals willing to put their bodies on the line, relies heavily on the funding of progressive donors and nonprofits connected to the upper reaches of the Democratic Party. Take the epicenter of the nationwide protest movement, Columbia University. According to reporting in the New York Post, the Columbia encampment was principally organized by three groups: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), and Within Our Lifetime (WOL). Let’s take each in turn.
JVP is, in essence, the “Jewish”-branch of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, backed by the usual big-money progressive donors—including some, like the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, that were instrumental in selling Obama’s Iran Deal to the public. JVP and its affiliated political action arm, JVP Action, have received at least $650,000 from various branches of George Soros’ philanthropic empire since 2017, $441,510 from the Kaphan Foundation (founded by early Amazon employee Sheldon Kaphan), $340,000 from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and smaller amounts from progressive donors such as the Quitiplas Foundation, according to reporting from the New York Post and NGO Monitor, a pro-Israel research institute. JVP has also received nearly $1.5 million from various donor-advised funds—which allow wealthy clients to give anonymously through their financial institutions—run through the charitable giving arms of Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, Morgan Stanley, Vanguard, and TIAA, according to NGO Monitor’s review of those institutions’ tax documents. …
NEO Philanthropy and its 501(c)(4) “sister,” NEO Philanthropy Action Fund, have received more than $37 million from Soros’ Open Society Foundations since 2021 alone, as well as substantial funding from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Ford Foundation, and the Tides Foundation.
More than any of the dark-money giants on the left, Tides has become tightly integrated with the ascendant Obama faction of the Democratic Party.
Tides, you might have noticed, is a name that keeps coming up again and again. The Tides Nexus, of which the Tides Foundation is a part, is one of largest progressive dark-money networks in the country, controlling upward of a billion in assets; its list of major donors is an all-star cast of left-wing billionaires and foundations, including Soros, Peter Buffett and his NoVo Foundation, eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, the Ford Foundation, and the New Venture Fund, controlled by another Democratic dark-money powerhouse, Eric Kessler’s Arabella Advisors. A pioneer of what critics have called “charitable money-laundering” through the use of fiscal sponsorships to obscure money trails through multiple layers of bureaucracy, Tides, through its donations and fiscal sponsorships, has emerged as a major backer of the anti-Israel protest movement across the country.
Indeed, scratch a pro-Palestinian radical organization, and you are likely to find Tides’ involvement somewhere. The Arab Resource and Organizing Center (AROC), which organized an illegal blockade of the Port of Tacoma in November and an anti-Israel walkout of high school students in San Francisco—where AROC contracts with the unified public school district—is a fiscal sponsorship of the Tides Center. So is Palestine Legal, which has coordinated with the National Lawyers Guild to provide legal support for students at the encampments and filed civil rights complaints with the Department of Justice alleging “hostile anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic” environments on American campuses. Another fiscal sponsorship of the Tides Center is the Adalah Justice Project, whose executive director, Sandra Tamari, was arrested on April 30 at the encampment at Washington University in St. Louis, and who is also the co-founder of the St. Louis Palestine Solidarity Committee, which participated in the April 15 “Strike 4 Gaza” by blockading the local Boeing manufacturing plant. Still another fiscal sponsorship of the Tides Center is the Community Justice Exchange, which ran the legal defense and bail fund for the A15 Action/Strike 4 Gaza “blockade,” raising money through the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue. Since 2020, Tides has also donated just under $3 million to the Alliance for Global Justice, a far-left nonprofit that fiscally sponsors Samidoun, a PFLP front led by Charlotte Kates, the wife of PFLP Central Committee member Khaled Barakat. Barakat, in turn, addressed Columbia students at a seminar in March organized by WOL and SJP.
Whether Tides itself is selecting these organizations for donations, or whether it is merely acting as a pass-through for large donors who would prefer to avoid the spotlight, is difficult to know—which, one might say, is the entire purpose of Tides’ byzantine corporate structure. But we are left with the fact that wealthy donors have been subsidizing months of rolling disruptive street protests by a grab bag of revolutionary and anti-Israel radicals. That leads naturally to a question:
To what end?” …….
“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”

Der NippleFuhrer’s State of the Empire Address:
“Remember, Folks; Everybody’s a Fascist–Except the Guy Stealing Elections, Torturing Political Prisoners in Black Rendition Sites, Raiding Homes of Opposition Leaders and Teaming Up with Multi-National Corporations to Force Experimental Injections on Unwilling Victims, Then Buying Up Their Distressed Properties, Censoring their Speech and Spying on Everybody While Engineering a New Transhuman Master Race for a One-Party State!”
It beats its tiny fists believing it was legitimately ‘elected’….
An intentional provocation by State and other agencies.

Paul Pelosi’s attacker faces potential 40-year to life prison sentence for ‘terrorism’.
But … watch the MSM focus on just one line of the 16-page ruling …
In contrast, early in his testimony, the defendant was in tears about uncovering the truth about
the “lying about Trump” while he was watching a YouTube video. Id. at 716: 14-17. (page #5)

Weren’t they sending cops, etc. into businesses in NY that “refused to comply”?
Yeah. They were.
…” Protesters waving American flags and slamming New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s emergency COVID-19 restrictions descended on a bar Wednesday night that was shut down a day earlier by sheriff’s deputies who arrested one of its owners for allegedly violating an executive order intended to blunt a second wave of the deadly virus.”…..

Yup. I know a restaurant owner who was forced BY THE STATE to shut down temporarily and fined 50K in March 2021 for exceeding the bogus limits on restaurant capacity on Valentine’s Day 2021. Cuomo is a liar and a mass murderer for all of his actions during the fake pandemic, and he should be tried and hung by the neck with piano wire.
On April 15th, 2020, Cuomo announced he will issue an Executive Order requiring all people in New York to wear a mask or a face covering when out in public and in situations where social distancing cannot be maintained, such as on public transportation. The Executive Order will go into effect on Friday, April 17th.

Y’all funny trying to make Cujo look bad….he already ugly enough to make a freight train take a dirt road….
Lots of company too….hair gel the best lookin’ thing they got
An’ he dumber than a box o’ rocks….
Most of the liberal states were not only sending police, but fining people/business when they dared to stay open or not enforce masks.
If I remember correctly there were quite a few videos and news stories of this happening in New York state too.
Is Cuomo trying to make a comeback into politics or ??? now.
If there is any doubt in anyone’s mind about where Gov. Abbott’s loyalties lie, please take note that he’s out campaigning and endorsing one of the 12 worst RINOS in the Texas House as shown in the documentary The Texas Heist.
We must do everything possible to replace Abbott with a strong governor if one exists. He wants a third term.
After moving to South Dakota, I’ve really started wondering about Abbott too. With what I’ve seen of and heard about Noem since I move her I’ve wondered if Abbott is playing a similar game.
Hey look at DeSantis…
I’m still not 100% sure about Abbot or DeSantis but do know that when one starts peeling that layers away from Noem she just another fame grabbing RINO.
