“This was no small thing, to restore a republic after it had fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may have been that our task was impossible. Yet, if we did not try then how would we know it could not be done? And if we did not try, it most certainly would not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, would have been lost.”
“But I tell you this: We did not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we made with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from this day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Gateway Pundit has article by Mike Flynn about his surprise the deep state allowed the Nov 5 election to be called so quickly and what they will do instead of stealing the 2024 election. Some of Flynn’s ideas are starting a hot war and declaring marshal law before Jan 20; extreme civil unrest; novel way to rid themselves of Trump, etc.
If you start to borrow trouble, you’ll probably find it.
The problem is, they’ll never cover all the outcomes because they’re not the ones in control of the universe.
Theyd like to think they are but the reality is that’s Gods job, not theirs.
Its much easier to live a day at a time.
No need for those drastic measures, The Senate Republicans will do the job of thwarting everything PJDT tries to do.
I agree they intend to do that. They called Marshall Law in Ukraine to prevent voting, so why not here?
I also suspect all of these military males we are putting up in hotels that were transferred to every nook and cranny of our country will be unleashed.
The vote has happened. Come 1/20/2025 nothing stops Trump from taking office. All they are doing is trying to make his life difficult.
I admit I share some of Gen Flynns feeling, will feel better when we get past J6, and even better past J20.
This phase of the War is at least in part going to finally expose the true nature of the Uniparty so clearly EVERYONE will finally “get it”; thanks to Matt Gaetz we have already gotten off to a great start.
Beyond that, sure the Republicans in Congress will go all in to thwart him, in a battle of wits, but I think they are low on ammunition.
Important to remember Gen. Flynn has been out of intel for 8+ years and has no special insiders knowledge; he is expressing his opinion.
Avoid attaching any extra degree of trust in what he says, based on his history.
We here in the Treehouse speculated that was a possibility all last year. Many of us were surprised the election occurred, were surprised they weren’t able to steal it – despite efforts to do so – and were not at all surprised that they have managed to fudge several other races post-election, four Senate seats for a start.
How Trump could finally kick Tren de Aragua out of the US after Biden admin stopped deporting Venezuelans
FTA –
… Biden administration gave up trying to deport the criminals and gangbangers in January after the Venezuelan government stopped accepting deportation flights from the US.
Tom Homan, … has a lot of leverage to force Venezuela to start accepting deportations — including threatening even more sanctions and withholding aid, which totaled $209 million last year.
“He got El Salvador to take back MS-13, he got Mexico to agree to the Remain in Mexico program. So I got faith in President Trump to work with the president of Venezuela,” said Homan.

Give them a ship we aren’t using, and let them figure it out themselves.
Use an EO to call for drafting all persons that entered the country illegally. Put them thru a less than basic bootcamp and then ship them to bases near their home country, or to war zones.
Create a second EO that states that all deserters will be subject to immediate imprisonment.
The military can round up draft dodgers and deserters.
This will free CBP to relax on the boarder, relax because no one will be trying to get in.
Yeah, let’s spend a whole bunch more money on thr taxpayers’ dime to train a bunch of potential future terrorists, give them citizenship which is done for foreigners who serve in the US military and turn them lose on the public when their time is done.
And then that evade, oh yeah, spend some more money incarcerating those.
I don’t think so!
How about this: spend money ONE time, ship them home and if you’re caught trying to reenter illegally, well, $.50 to a dollar solves it permanently!
America 🇺🇸 FIRST for AMERICANS!
Where did you read that in my post?
Which ‘boarder’ is that?
.
Put them on a plane with parachute and life vest and drop them into the ocean a mile off the coast.

Coastal recon in shark waters, that’s about a 1 week bootcamp.
Why a life vest?
Surely Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins have done bad things in the past as well as the bad things they do now as democrats calling them selves republicans. Mitch McConnel needs to see Jesus.
Unless he Repents pretty soon, that isn’t who he will be seeing.

McConnell and his ilk prefer money, power, and control over doing what is right, and it shows.
I am sure he will be denied entry. ✝️
He may be summoned to another meeting 👇🔥 downstairs.
Susan Collins just given the Chair of Appropriations. However much you hate Senate Republicans, its not enough.

You can’t tell me Republicans weren’t getting their slice,as well.
So, saying it went back to Democrats is disengenuous, at the very least.
Reports are that they’re still coming, desperate to get here before the US finally defends its own border.
And, other reports are that they are packing up to head home, before being kicked out.
Any way to verify this number?
How many people are in the military?The military includes 2,079,142 military personnel and 778,539 civilians as of September 2023. The US military’s strength of 2.86 million troops is slightly greater than the population of Chicago, Illinois, the country’s third-largest city.
Of those military members, the Department of Defense (DoD) listed nearly 1.29 million people as active-duty troops, and 767,238 as national guard/reserves.
https://usafacts.org/articles/how-many-people-are-in-the-us-military-a-demographic-overview/
If you use the 2.86 million number and multiply by 6 you get just over 17 million. So how many illegals have crossed and how many of them are military age males? It’s hard to untangle that, especially since we’ve only had “11 million” illegals for the past 30 years or so. I can find CBP info for unaccompanied adults for the past 3 years (2022 -2024) of 4.3 million. It seems reasonable to assume at least another million for 2021. So, at least 5 million if they were all military age males, and of course not considering that many (probably most) of these people would not be giving themselves up to CBP and are probably in the “got-away” category.
6-1 maybe, but at least 2-1.
Below is an excerpt from a Sundance article on what is arguably the biggest threat to our Constitutional Republic. Question: what can the electorate do to help mitigate this threat? I assume making more of the electorate aware of the threat would help. What else? Any recommendations?
“The intelligence gathering and homeland security system put into place after the Patriot Act was passed, is a bureaucratic administrative state without the presence of elected officials controlling the apparatus. That leads to the following question.
How can a constitutional republic function without elected officials in control of it?
That question is at the heart of our current situation.
That question is at the epicenter of this “new American democracy” that no one seems to understand.
The simple answer is it cannot.
We have been fighting this three-headed IC monster (DHS, DNI, DOJ-NSD) ever since.”
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2024/10/27/six-days-from-sunday-and-the-continuity-of-government/
Perhaps this; Mike Walls who is THE voice on “the blob” says the CIA just does what its told, it has a civilian side, that takes directions from the State Dept. to engage in color revolutions, etc. and a military component that takes instructions from the DOD, for covert military actions.
Hence, perhaps our focus should be on gaining control of State Dept. and DOD, rather than CIA?
*laughing*
Of course the CIA is telling the truth.
As part of any litigation, the Supreme Court can declare anything unconstitutional. They are fearful. Fearful always loses. It’s not up t the electorate. It’s up to the courageous.
RINO author of border bill – Senator Lankford – now hints Gabbard is a Russian agent, won’t vote to confirm. I know nothing about this snake. Owned by IC?

Lankford was ordered to sponsor the Bellhop Patrol Bill, designed to lock in the Obiden Invasion forever and give Democrats a Border Talking Point blaming PDT for their Abolishing of Borders.
Clearly, he’s owned–blackmailed, I’d say.
Sunlight to expose all the IC blackmail against all elected officials because we need these fools out of office and the new ones not to run into the same mess.
Same Lankford who ran a summer camp for kids? Asking for a friend….
He sure has that look about him.
Lankford sits on the SSCI. ‘Nuff said.
If I were Tulsi, I would ask him to produce his evidence right then.
Max Abrahms
@MaxAbrahms
The reason @TulsiGabbard
gets accused by losers of being a Russian spy is because she opposed regime change in Syria and Assad is a Putin ally. But opposing regime change doesn’t make someone a spy especially when Al Qaeda & ISIS would have been Assad’s successor in Damascus.
https://x.com/MaxAbrahms/status/1860365563786088701
It appears to me that we are not very good at regime change and always tend to favor the lefties. How is that possibly good for America?
Because its easier to destroy a lefty. They always come in peace!

Nicole was portrayed as someone who bought her way onto the Kennedy ticket through donations, but the reality is quite different.
She’s been a huge and pleasant surprise, I remember when Bobby Kennedy first picked her we all thought she was a total flaky lightweight, chosen only for her monies.
I have been very appreciative of how supportive she has been of her running mate’s switch to supporting President Trump, and with good reason. She’s seems to be fully onboard and gung-ho the MAHA message.
I agree. I’ve been surprised at her point of view. Way different than I originally thought. She has produced some awesome videos in the month before the election in support of MAGA. Very well done. Would be an asset to the administration somewhere in Agricultural or Health departments for sure.
How Scott Bessent Went From Democratic Donor to Trump Treasury Secretary Pick
Nov. 23, 2024
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/23/us/politics/scott-bessent-treasury-profile.html
In the heat of the 2000 presidential campaign, Vice President Al Gore took a break from barnstorming battleground states to attend a fund-raiser for the Democratic National Committee in East Hampton, N.Y. Standing behind Mr. Gore onstage was Scott Bessent, a hedge fund manager and — at the time — a major donor to Democrats who co-hosted the event at his home.
The selection caps an extraordinary career arc for an investor who was once a protégé of the liberal billionaire philanthropist George Soros and who gave money to top Democrats including Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Barack Obama.
“He was very supportive of the causes and the people that we supported,” said Will Trinkle, a Democrat who co-hosted the event with Mr. Gore.
Democrats went off the deep end on climate change hoax, affirmative action, the transgender hoax, defund the police and starting a war with Russia.
Nobody in their right mind would sign-up for more of that insanity let alone a Wall Street billionaire with a lot more to lose than the rest of us!
They’re scared 😱…
Behind the Curtain: Trump’s liberal cabinet
https://www.axios.com/2024/11/23/trump-liberal-cabinet-rfk-tulsi-gabbard-bessent
FTA –
…Why it matters: Lost in the noise of Trump’s most controversial picks is the simple, undebatable fact that this might be the most ideologically diverse cabinet of modern times.
Trump’s Cabinet increasingly resembles a European-style coalition government, staffed with a dizzying array of ideological rivals united — for now — by a grand MAGA.
The team represents the Trump worldview: Traditional conservatism is dead — and its biggest, lifelong advocates neutered to the point of irrelevance.
A Trump transition source told us most of the picks are “a version of Trump in their thinking and approach”: “They’re fearless disrupters who can walk into these buildings, and know they have a mandate for reform and change.”
What we’re hearing: Trump’s earlier hostile takeover of the Republican establishment is now morphing into a fast-forward “hostile takeover “ of the federal bureaucracy.
The big picture: In just under a decade, Trump, once a donor to Democrats, has transformed the GOP of George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney into a populist party with radically different views on trade, immigration and spending.
In policy, tone and personnel, this is the MAGA Party — not a GOP that any of the party’s past legends would recognize.”
The GOP establishment is now Trump’s team of populists,” a behind-the-scenes Republican power broker told us. “The old Bush establishment are the outsiders.“
I don’t recall seeing this before.

Who is vetting the nominees?
I’m not saying he raped anyone and I’m not for purity tests. However if he was on the other side I know I’d be arguing he was vulnerable to being compromised by a woman spy.
The only time sex allegations ever surface is when the nominee is a Trump Republican. Do you remember the media frenzy over Obama’s gay sex cocaine flings? Me neither!
Let’s not forget what they did to Herman Cain and Judge Roy Moore in Alabama…Same deal…
3 wives, 7 kids, baby with Fox mistress, getting drunk and having sex with married women at hotels…he may be a good pick for the job but he’s got a hell of a messy personal life.
I think he’s a good pick, too.
But the Dems will use anything in a messy personal life to influence the likes of Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski.
And McConnell will use it as an excuse not to vote for the nominee just to spite Trump.
I think he could overcome this by saying he had some wild and crazy younger years he’s not completely proud of, but now he’s settled down, and made amends to his ex-wives. After all, Trump invited his exes to the his inauguration, and they all seemed to be having a good time together.
Recess.
Who really cares? President Trump has had three wives and he has several children, so what? People are being hired to do a job and I want the best people we can get. As far as the RINOS, we’re going to have to confront them directly eventually, so why not now, right after a massive landslide election? If the Senate won’t confirm then we start looking at parliamentary processes, workarounds in the law, etc. Pick good MAGA people and if the RINOS don’t like it, tough.
Did he drive of a bridge with his pregnant girlfriend? Take a seat.
Yep. What WOULD Mary Jo have to say?

You talking about BJ Clinton?
He is not being hired as a pastor.
Heard this years ago.
He was, possibly still is…a player
Anything criminal here? I believe they are married now.
No, nothing criminal.
As I said, it’s just that the Dems will use this to influence RINO votes for the nominee.
And of course, the Dems never consider the damage to the nominee’s family, especially minor children. Hegseth, Kavanaugh, Sean Parnell, Jack Ryan (Obama’s senate opponent – a lefty Chicago newspaper got a judge to open up Ryan’s sealed divorce records). If the Dems can’t find anything in the personal life, they’ll make it up, e.g., Kavanaugh.
Let them but come prepared with their laundry. I would remind them he didn’t shag anyone in the White House unlike a couple of Democrat Presidents. I am wrong, there were three of them.
The Monterey fling was consensual, all facts corroborate that.
Yes, drunk consensual sex. She freaked out four days later when her husband found out.
True. But the Dems and MSM will spin it as, ” Hegseth was investigated for rape….” Smoke, fire, etc.
Though false accusations against Kavanaugh didn’t convince Collins. She listened to the testimony, and listened to the former special victims prosecutor who questions Blasey-Ford. When the prosecutor told the GOP caucus there were so many holes in Blasy-Ford’s story that she would decline to prosecute, that was enough for Collins.
Life happens. It seems he went through a very traumatic period in his life, woke up, went to church and recommitted himself to living a christian life with his new wife.
Compare President Trump’s cabinet to Bidens….. I think we are good. 🙂

The left had no problems with Hunter Biden though. Nothing Hegseth did compares to what the Biden’s have done. I mean PDJT had a messy divorce , mistress, etc. So what. Don’t you just love how the progressive left who advocates for PEDOPHILIA suddenly becomes chaste prudes when it comes to Republicans and their sex lives. WTAF.
My understanding is that that FOX News baby momma is his third and current wife.
The sex in a hotel episode was while he was single, and it’s not clear that he knew the woman was married until after the fact. Additionally, he is extremely good looking and reports are that as a result he gets hit on by lots of women. The *allegation* was fishy and consequently led to no charges.
I’m not defending him as the single most moral person ever, but this behavior is not at all what they’re trying to make it sound like.
Remember what they did with President Trump, it mattered not whether there was any truth to the allegations, “it’s the seriousness of the allegations.” Like that’s not an invitation for motivated persons to lay a serious accusation.
I am ignoring all this stuff.
We know the knives are out.
We know the reporting is always biased and follows exactly the tactics Pelosi described in her ‘wrap-up smear’ discussion.
We know ‘they’ will do ALL they can possibly do to derail our MAGA MAHA agenda.
We know the DJT picks are for a reason.
We know that we don’t know what he knows, all we can do is speculate.
With three fingers pointing back at myself I say: we would be wiser to expend our energy on shoring up our local governance with deep benches to ensure the future, actively supporting election fairness & reliability efforts, and getting involves in remaking local GOP committees – AKA the precinct strategy. These are the things we have power over.

If Democrats and RINOs love it, its gotta be good, right?
I am getting sick of the comments here trashing almost every cabinet pick that PDJThas made.
Don’t like it! Run for President. I do not necessarily like all of his picks and with the exception of one that was floated. I will accept them.
Why are we doing the Dems destruction plans for them? Why?
Mother Theresa couldn’t get by this crowd. Not much fun being here anymore. I used to come for comfort and joy but most of the time I am pissed off.
I know what you mean. What a wonderful experience it used to be.
That’s what they want. I just laugh at them. They will not steal my.. JOY!
Most of the nominees Trump has announced so far need Senate confirmation.
I think the worry here is that anything the Dems and RINOs can used to prevent confirmation is what posters are concerned about, because both groups will use whatever they can, regardless of how flimsy, irrelevant, or just plain false, to derail the MAGA agenda.
I don’t go to Democrat sites. Wouldn’t sully myself but they clearly have no standards.
We voted for MAGA with an overwhelming mandate. Supreme Court confirmed that the President is the leader.
Only MAGA patriots should be in the Administration.
There are 70+ million MAGA, so there is an oversupply of qualified people to serve.
Anyone not MAGA does not belong. Period.
There are many posters saying “trust the plan”, “he could have picked someone worse”, etc.
These are the same people that say “gee I’m glad I only got kicked in one testicle, instead of both”

The only way you kill BlackRock, is to leave the system. They are invested in everything!
Blackrock has over 11 trillion dollars in assets under management.
The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the United States is about 30 Trillion dollars
Blackrock assets are worth the equivalent of (a) about 37% of the GDP of the US, (b) 73% of the next highest GDP, China and (c) higher by far than the next 6 countries.
Oh, and by the way, Blackrock owns the AGR building in Butler PA. That’s the building that Thomas Matthew Crooks used to take his shot at Trump.
Just so you know.
Didn’t they make the purchase just a couple of weeks before the rally?

An important point some people are missing. We’ve all seen a “ceremonial” surgeon general running a psy op on America.
Why is someone of Adams’ ilk being given a high position? We could have anybody at all, why did her name even come up?
Something stinks.
While some of the recent picks aren’t exactly great, it’s entirely possible that some thinking went into why those people were chosen, and we might eventually find out what that thinking was.
However, we can already say with certainty that no such thinking went into the surgeon general pick. You don’t praise Peter Hotez if you have even just the slightest clue about anything. It’s totally disqualifying.
Surgeons general are ceremonial until they’re not. That’s when they cause mass hysteria.
Has anyone contacted Musk to suggest getting rid of the surgeon general? 😉

I hope the world is now waking up to the fact “Climate Action” has nothing to do with weather.
The UN loves to insult the intelligence of the American people . Gender responsive climate action ha ha ha ha ha so ridiculously absurd.
Shopping Health Tip:
Were you aware that nearly 75% of products sold on Amazon are “Made in China?” Any store you venture into in the US has products lining their shelves with the “Made in China” label. Supporting local businesses and USA made products has never been more important than it is today. Here is a great source for non-toxic household cleaning products, personal care, vitamins and health products, and hundreds more, completely manufactured right here in the USA!Source:

🚨 Approval of Donald Trump’s presidential transition – adults under 30
🔴 Approve: 65% (+30)
🔵 Disapprove: 35%
CBS/YouGov
They must produce real results if they are to maintain favorability!
Ask any one of these under 30 adults anything about the transition. Ask about the cabinet, who has been nominated and why they like them or do not like them.
They’re happy. That’s nice. But they don’t know what they are happy about, IMO.
CBS, to boot!

Thank heavens Cheeky Mama kitty had a litter of two when we rescued her or it would be worse.
Powerful image.
What is going through his mind as he stands in contemplation in front of the statue of David (by Giant Lorenz Bernini)…
(Inspiring to see his young son with him. Start as you mean to go on. The younger the better.)
Gian… Not “Giant”.
Autocorrect is a philistine.
“What is going through his mind?”…. “I should probably lay off the junk food and work out a little more..”😉😁
It is to be hoped the next 7 months of hard work will help 👍🏻😎
👊🏻💥😎
Cheer’s 🥂- to trimming the fat!
A recommendation for those that may travel to Rome, visit to the Borghese Gallery Museum.
If you can, time it so the natural light is coming through the windows and prepare to be amazed at Bernini’s Apollo and Daphne.
The carving is so delicate and thin, the sunlight shines through Daphne’s leaves of marble.
It was so wondrous it brought tears to my eyes.
“It is regarded as one of the artistic marvels of the Baroque age. “
https://borghese.gallery/collection/sculpture/apollo-and-daphne.html
I have seen photographs only of those two miraculous sculptures… and others with the marble so thin, one could call the the fabrics sculpted diaphanous and not be called a liar.
The gift of being able to take a piece of marble, see the vision, and chip away to expose it is to me one of life’s great mysteries. I can only marvel!!
You are right…natural light is as much a part of exposing the overwhelming beauty as is the artistry itself.
Thank you for the link, hoosier. I know your memories of being able to gaze on such genius will last a lifetime.
They will, Betsy. The trip was my mother’s final birthday present to me before her death.
She made a point of booking the Borghese visit on my actual birthday.
We’d get separated in the museum and mom knew where to find me, I was back in front of Apollo and Daphne.
I know you miss her. But what a beautiful memory she left for you, hoosier. One I’m sure you revisit with smiles and tears 💕
It is mesmerizing. I was fortunate enough to see it in person too. Thanks to my late husband.
What a beautiful mental cocktail, Dixie.
It was a beautiful time in my life, Betsy.
In one of this morning’s scriptures, 2 Samuel 23:1-7 I noticed that King David was referred to as “The oracle of David, the son of Jesse, the oracle of the man who was raised on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, the sweet psalmist of Israel: ‘The Spirit of the Lord speaks by me; his word is on my tongue.’”
This started me pondering about how rarely we think of the man who spent the vast majority of his adult life in battle as a “sweet psalmist.”
Hopefully since he has become enlightened on so many things that he is considering the true nature of Christianity and the eternal battle of good and evil. At least I would like to think that. Especially since he has made such radical changes in his perspective over this past year. It certainly has changed the game since he bought Twitter. That is a monumental game changer in the ability to counteract the propaganda. Hopefully that progression will continue in the right direction with no looking back to what he may have been before.
I’d be very surprised if gazing on this statue didn’t give him pause.
We don’t know, but something has occurred.
Rep. Nancy Mace spars with trans activist who interrupts her at Georgetown summit: ‘Raging lunatic, pretending to be female’

Hahahaha. He likely has his estrogen pills in his purse.
Lol I just had to spit out my coffee!!
Expel the mentally ill “trans”
FEMA is one place I would like to see a whopping dose of accountability.
Imagine surviving Helene only to have your 18 month old baby die of cold because of the horrific response from FEMA.
They are accessories to murder.
That RV wasn’t going anywhere. The person who took it back could have waited.
People could have come up with the rest of what was owed or gotten the family another place to live.
How heartless does one have to be to do this??
When I say there are just some people who were born with pieces missing, I was wrong.
There are not “some” but way too many.
May those who have no compassion or empathy or judgement never know a good night’s sleep again.
Lord, please help these parents to feel Your presence as they grieve for their child 🙏🏻
Amen!
My heart breaks for this family.
Going to get worse…
What has happened to the millions raised for these people??
Samaritan’s Purse??
Who is overseeing it all?
Is anyone listening??
My God!! What a wicked and cruel government is this administration. And nothing from NC’s governor Cooper?
What has happened to this country??
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/major-cold-blast-hit-helene-ravaged-nc-many-families-living-tents-amid-fema-blunder
This is completely and utterly immoral! IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!
The person/company who repossessed that DONATED RV needs to be named and shamed.
FEMA needs to be evicted from the two camps they have set up, with lovely heated cabins, and all the displaced families moved in.
I am beyond sick of US persons being treated like garbage while third world illegal interlopers are given everything.
DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!
Where are the elected representative for this region? What are they doing to alleviate the hell their constituents are in?
WHERE IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES?
OMG! My blood is boiling….
I retract this. Story is not true.
HOWEVER, that does not mean all is well in that region. Seen too many stories of people not getting any help from FEMA and insurance companies outright denying claims… and people living in tents in this weather is outrageous.
Respectfully,
Names?
Link with proof?
Local media?
Interviews with the parents?
It is a highly emotional claim.
Therefore it MUST be vetted for psy ops.
I’m not saying it didn’t happen. I’m saying this is a bold claim with no details.
BTW, Hillbilly Kitchen is having a toy and Christmas tree decorations giveaway next Sunday, for the families who lost all theirs in the flooding. I’m sure donations are welcome.
= => A useful outlet to channel any outrage anyone is feeling after reading this tweet.
Be positive. Stay positive.
FEMA is denying the use of tents for those still homeless post Helene but Fox was interviewing them in a snowstorm.
I cannot confirm the story so you may be correct.
They’re still saying 103 people died in NC, in a storm that caused $50 Billion worth of damage. I wonder how long they will hide the real numbers?
Saw a list posted yesterday that had 500 names of those still missing. They will not tell you that on msm. So thankful that the good people of America have stepped up to provide everything necessary to survive or the numbers would be much worse. America is doing everything to get rv’s and tiny houses in because of the cold weather. Officials giving a hard time that the tiny houses won’t pass inspection so not being allowed in some places. So ridiculous that people are in this condition in America. Not much on Fox News but at least they sent someone into NC to bring attention to people in tents. That was before the snow hit tho and they didn’t say how many hundreds are in tents still. I believe crimes have been committed against citizens in NC. Hopefully those responsible will be held accountable whether federal, state or counties. God Bless the American people who have stepped up.
Did some digging…. AND now I am really pissed off:
Apparently not true and the guy reporting it is a scammer….
Good on this young woman for doing her homework.
Exactly.
The tell tale “all the classic hallmarks” of a manipulation start with an EMOTIOALLY TRIGGERING narrative.
Fear, Anger, SYMPATHY, any emotion, if it is STRONG enough, will divert brain capacity away from critcal thinking functiin, and without critical thinking, people can be easily convinced to believe and do the most absurd things.
Very important to keep your critical thinkinh, by exerting will power to keep your emotiins in check
Apparently, Ralph Avallone is a scammer and this story is not true.
https://x.com/dogwoodblooms/status/1860365925582573676
She did the digging and called the Sheriff’s office and a whole bunch of people actually there…
I thought it sounded fake at first, but then I saw someone fill in more details and it sounded as if it could possibly have happened, even though it was almost unbelievable that someone would be out in a snowstorm repossessing an RV.
I think I didn’t want to be an Alex Jones.
It sounded plausible… that is for sure. I hate people who do this.
Thank heavens it’s not true.
I am sorry, this was shared with me and I didn’t check it out first.
It’s information overload these days. I should have checked it before posting.
I assure you, no one is freezing to death in Appalachia for lack of local aid. You can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a little country church that is stepping up to help out.
All anyone in need has to do is ask.
Do you know what those little (and big) churches, even in the hardest hit areas, are also doing this weekend?
Collecting boxes of donations for Operation Christmas Child.
Even in the midst of local needs, parishioners are caring for all who are in need of a tangible expression of the love of Jesus the Messiah, all around the world.
( Except, maybe, in England, where those boxes would probably be seized by the authorities : ( )
Please continue to pray for Appalachia. But, maybe Christians in England are actually in grater need of prayer, as a time of severe government oppression appears to be in the offing.
Also, let me share a comments for a manager at a local charity thrift shop, who said that he hailed from South Carolina originally. He said, when hurricanes hit in SC, everyone just stood around and waited for the government agencies to show up.
He said what he saw after Helene, from Samaritan’s Purse delivering meals to his shop for his workers, to locals gathering to clear out mud, to truckloads of donations pouring in from around the country, was not only a blessing from God but also restored his faith in humanity.
We should keep that effort up and make it the rule, not the exception.
No one actually needs FEMA. We just need each other, and God.
It was plausible. I believed it, based upon other stories I’ve heard over the phone from on-the-ground relief people. I prayed for the soul of that baby last night. And I’m not gonna feel foolish for doing so.
Problem is, if the story was not true, then that taints the credibility of all the stories that are.

Texas Gov. Abbott orders state agencies to divest from China
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott demands all Texas agencies to stop investing state funds in China and sell any existing holdings as soon as possible, citing risks
https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/texas-gov-abbott-orders-state-agencies-divest-from-china
What caused the sudden awakening?
Trumpanomics.
Hmmm,…I want to believe Abbott has finally realised which way the wind is blowing; gale force and due Trump, and will actually get with the program, instead of being photo op, soundbite pretend MAGA.
AS a Gov. and with Paxton as A.G. they could accomplish so much.
Of coarse, the Bushies still run the Legislature, and no doubt control the State R party, at the top.
But, ONE of the 50 States is gonna tumble, whether its Texas, Missouri or Loisianna, its gonna happen.
He is definitely not the worst governor. Not even the worst Republican governor.

GOP rep pushes back on Hegseth’s idea to fire ‘woke’ generals
November 24, 2024
https://www.yahoo.com/news/gop-rep-pushes-back-hegseth-164224800.html
President Trump can fire all the Generals he wants.
We need a capable fighting force. That’s the reason we even have a military. Anything or anyone getting in the way of that has to go.
The illegals have already done that. 6 of them to 1 military member is outrageous. O’Biden did that. This was posted earlier in this thread.
How did that creep Bacon get re-elected. UGH what a RINO pig.
I don’t know, or care which State this Bacon is from, because the answer to your question is the same; the State R party, at the top is run by RINOS.
As such, they have a tremendous amount of influence on elections, and they insure he continues to be reelected.
And then there is the RNC, which can funnel $ and resources into his campaign, and then there is the RNCCC which can funnel UNLIMITED and UNREGULATED $ into his campaign..
As PDJT vs Harris clearly shows, its not JUST a matter of $, but money does matter.
As does the State R Parties control of who the County elections officials are, and whether they put their thumb on the scales, when counting the ballots.
“WE, And PDJT may not get Hegseth for SecDef,…and that may be o.k. as after he is shot down, PDJT nominates someone who is just as MAGA, but has kept their mouth shut, and I am o.k. with that.
I love Pete but it wasn’t his mouth that he needed to keep shut. He is a babe and wealthy. That makes him a prime target.
RFK and Vivek Ramaswamy are two frauds who are using the MAGA movement to gain power and benefit themselves.

OMG! Every one of President Trump’s selection are imperfect!

In an article on TGP, with an embedded link to Joe Rogan talking about the collapse of mainstrean media, and just tossed out at the end of the article, is a valid point.
Be destroying their credibity with everyonr EXCEPT the extreme leftist libtard nutjobs, they have painted themselves into a corner.
If they try to get back their credibility with everyone who is not a leftist nutjob, by trying to now report honestly and objectively, they will shed the ONLY audience they have left.
We saw this with the audience reaction, to Mika and Joe go to Mar a Lago.
It made us laugh, but did NOT win any of us over, and yet eroded into their only remaining audience, the leftist loonies.
Painted into a corner, they sewed the seeds of their own destruction, and as I have long predicted, they are dead networks broadcasting.
We used to half joke that in the end, PDJT would buy up the networks at fire sale prices, …between his Truth Social and Musk, who is about to give Viacom, Verizon etc. the dodo bird treatment with his satelite system, they will be instituting some permanent changes to insure fake news is not only dead and buried, but can never rise again.
Yes!! We are still winning against these pompous blowhards who did not know when to hit the breaks as they continued to move further and further into weirdo, creepy, lunatic, fringe, mentally disturbed zone.
They cannot lose their fringe audience but they have to know deep down inside that the rest of us will never watch their stations/shows again.
I look forward to seeing their demise. Thankfully, all of their demon employees can learn to code or build solar panels.
Actually, as we have seen, (matt taibi, megyn kelly) some of them actually ARE reporters, and once cut loose from the restrictions of the networks, have JOINED the MAGA Media with their own podcasts.
So, they are like prisoners, finally released from the oppression of the overlords.

Unfortunately, my inspiration is gone.
Dixie……just hang tuff …your muse will return…..be well
For every Trump nomination a single or group of senators hold up for pure politics of hate, DJT should have DOGE punitively target that senator’s state or any of his “donors” special interests. These asses need to have it shoved in their face that they LOST!
Martin Niemöller came to mind as I read your post. Not being preachy. Just pointing out that even those with the best of intentions can be compromised, given enough power.
Nice to see this starting to take off.
Let’s make flu shots the new Covid jabs.
Trust in public health starts with public health admitting what it CAN’T do.
Flu shots are forced on hospital employees. Also…I read a few years ago…the flu shot, depending on which one is favored, sarc, is only anywhere from 63 to 80-something percent “effective”. And statistical significance starts around 95-97%.
And the Pneumonia jab…I heard an add last year…for “Prevnar-20″….immunity for for 20 germs…no thanks, I will take my chances…
My mom never met a vaccine she didn’t like…including the pneumonia shot…she was in the hospital too many times for pneumonia…medicare cut her off and demanded she go to hospice…for too many issues. For me, this goes beyond ‘personal’….
However, if you work in healthcare (I did—RN, 15 yrs), you are required to take it as a condition of your continued employment. If you refuse, you don’t work the next shift. Same applies if you live in a facility (nursing home, etc). You must take it or move out. Many people were sick after the flu jab, but that didn’t stop the corporate mandates.
Luckily when I worked as an RN (pre 2012) the flu shot was highly encouraged but we could still opt out. Plus staff administered the shot to each other and it was no big deal. I am grateful I worked my 27 years as hospital RN before the madness.
RR, thank you for your service….I have been in the business as an RN, since 1980…don’t forget that Hepatitis vaccine.
Last shot I had of any kind was when I was volunteering at a hospital. Now it’s too big of a disincentive.
A bit off topic, but if MTG threatened to release all the dirty laundry on our CONgress critters in a tit-for-tat re: Gaetz report, will she still do it or did that threat die with his withdrawal? I’d still love for that to happen! Too many of these despicables are getting plum positions. Handcuffs for every one!! Splodey heads galore!!
I think she should still do it. Those that are using personal escapades of the past to block PDJT’s nominations should indeed be exposed for their own sexual and other misconduct in past escapades. .
Sunlight is a wonderful thing to shine on hypocrisy and vindictiveness.
PDJT has been persecuted and accused viciously and falsely for the past four years. Maybe, just maybe, it is time for the sunlight to shine on these folks. Especially the Establishment blocking PDJT’s efforts to right the good ship USA.
SOMEONE has been doing SOMETHING for that sex fund to have paid out $22 million. Name names, both sides, now. Do young ladies get jobs in the government so they can become millionaires with little effort?
– Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison’s attempt to defend a controversial new law banning election misinformation has taken a bizarre turn — the “expert” he brought in to support it is accused of using fake sources.
Haiti has a population of 11.7 million people. How did 13% of Haiti’s population submit applications to come to the United States? That’s an absurd figure. Who’s over there to help them do this? We need answers!
And it is not actually “legally” – they are coming as part of a scheme allowing those in war torn places on a temporary basis. Unfortunately, temporary means permanently as they never go back.
Also, we cannot afford those people! We have people in the mountains with no homes and veterans sleeping on the streets because all our resources are going to people from other countries. Charity begins at home!
Don’t forget the 2010 earthquake…we let a lot in over that too…only its just ‘strife torn’…

“…our resources are going to people from other countries.” This is true, but I would add that the people in those mountains still have land. And some land is quite valuable because of the resources that lie beneath it. The survivors know this, and so does the government.
About a month ago, there was something out in the internet talking about the variety of valuable natural resources in that land. I vaguely remember hearing the word ‘Blackrock’…..
And would that be the same Blackrock purportedly hired to “Build [Ukraine] Back Better?” (Don’t know how to insert an upside-down emoji face here, but maybe Munch’s The Scream is more appropriate…)
