THE GAME PLAN
Sundance @TheLastRefuge2
“Trump will not find perfect solutions. He will find OPTIMAL solutions. We cannot ask for more.
Trump has stood by and watched Perfect murder Good for 8 years – maybe longer. He’s not gonna do it.
He’s going to deliver the best outcome possible, and he’s not waiting for us to feel relaxed about it.
Best presidency ever! Just hang on. More winning is coming, but a lot of people are going to scream that it’s all over at EVERY turn.
The best way through this is to define viewpoints, not people, because people will shift as they change position and velocity in Trump gravity.
Bash the neocon, warmonger, and dopey globalist positions – not the people who are going to hold them one moment and come loose from them later.
Trump is Jupiter moving through the asteroid belt. He is going to pull people into his orbit.
A few will get slung off into space, but most will come along for the ride of their lives.
I am ON the Trump Train for good, even if I scream that I want off and can’t take it. In the end, I only want to scream “TOO MUCH WINNING!!!”
Unseen1 @unseen1_unseen
Here is the game plan that the forces against Trump will be using for the foreseeable future.
They will attempt to get you to make the perfect the enemy of the good.
Be it the freedom clowns and spending, the immigration hawks with H1B visas, the peace doves with timing, the cultural warriors with total bans of DEI/CRT, the neocons with war fighting, or the swamp dwellers with draining the swamp.
All of them will attempt to get you to believe on whatever issue is the issue of the day that it doesn’t go far enough or do enough.
They will try to make you think that some sub issue of that issue is more important and should be handled first, that since the issue hasn’t been handled yet it won’t be, that we can’t do more than one thing, that so and so is a plant to stop the draining of the swamp, or that because it wasn’t 100% Trump lied. On every single issue, one or more groups will attempt this strategy.
You can’t allow them that power over you. If Trump secures the border and deports 2 million, don’t allow them to reduce that good by them saying well he didn’t deport 2.5 million, so he failed or lied.
You can’t allow them to use the perfect to void out the good in the coming months.
They will try. They already have with the CR and the H1b visa debates. It works, that is why they use it.
You have to keep it in the front of your head on everything about to occur that half a loaf or hopefully in most cases 7/8ths a loaf is better than no loaf.
Do not allow them to gaslight you into thinking the good is the enemy of the perfect.
In the real world, most things are never perfect, but if we try real hard, we can get plenty of good accomplished in the coming 4 years.

We aren’t in “Trump time” its TURBO Trump time” or maybe HYPER Trump time.
He is floating like a butterfly, stinging like a bee, and pepering them with so many blows, he has them reeling, and is way ahead in points, up 9 since I-day.
It is critical to get rid of the Obama and Biden staffers.
Especially the thousands they converted to full time Federal employees (from political positions). They call this “burrowing” in DC.
How they operate – example: James O’Keefe just did an undercover sting w a young PhD ‘analyst’ who said there are many ways to slow down a President. One is to say “We’ll study that matter” … and drag their feet for six months.

Article by Clarice Feldman @ AmericanThinker, tells how PDJT is counterpunching; if there job invokves POLICY, they are political appointees, regardless of their job title or classification, and can be sent packing.
So, he has deftly and legally found a way around Obummers “embedding” of Political appointees into Civil Service.
They say we are attacking the core civil rights infrastructure when we are attacking Civil Service. (Black women used to do domestic work in the south before civil service.) My mom started out as a nanny in New York for a publishing family at 17.
They have dumbed down white Americans so much we are now in need of civil service jobs and military. Vets used to get a five point preference for civil service (10 if disabled).
When is the population decreasing so much we don’t need all these workers?

CUT THE CORD
RFK Jr’s warning to future FDA underlings
Has he been confirmed?
And he now supports vaxxs?
Only proven vaxxs like polio, measles and etc.
That’s because a traditional vaccine uses a weakened / inert strain of the original virus to trigger the recipient’s natural immune system to start creating anti-bodies. A good vaccine can (and should) take years to develop an effective dose.
MRNA vaccines short cut this by first carving out a sub-section of the active virus then imbedding that “spike” into another inert virus, and injecting the combo into the patient. Turnaround time is now weeks from discovery of an active strain.
While technologically amazing, you now have several points of failure: the spike’s activity level, the antibodies produced are too specific, the tendency for the combo to split apart, reactions to the other additives, and the lack of testing on dosage (getting too much virus in the shot). The effectiveness ranged from not at all, to the shot made you sicker than COVID itself.
As an engineer, I deal with the pick 2 of better-faster-cheaper all of the time. And the government’s COVID response was only faster, not better or cheaper, and that didn’t help anyone. It gaslit the population into thinking everything was under control, while $billions in vac subsidies were changing hands to Democrat donors. All the while, science minded conservatives were being told to shut up and give up liberties, when it was plain to see it was a sham.
And that is what is so infuriating, even today. We are literally in PTSD over COVID response policies destroying jobs, savings, the economy, our freedoms of speech, religion and assembly. It’s not something that should be brushed under the rug and forgotten, as much as our psyche is trying to forget, we won’t have true healing until there are repercussions and people are held accountable.
And, mind you as another treeper has pointed out, its not NEW technology, they tried it several times, over 20+ years with animals, with disaterous results.
I am convinced the reason they were so hung up on it, goes directly to their whole bioweopons research; they aren’t REALLY spending billions of $’s, because of the remote possibility of a virus in nature “jumping species” to humans, somehow morphing naturally to make itself 10x’s more lethsal, and wiping out humanity.
Thats just a cover; they are doing it so that if an enemy releases such a virus, as a weopon, we can genetically sequence the virus and QUICKLY make millions of doses og a vaccine, to protect our troops and people.
THATS why they so want to use Mrna, to make “vaccines” .
I see it this way;
The issue is not about the virus, and turnaround of vaccine.
The MRNA is changing the genetic code of human recipients. Stripping the body of what makes them human
FAST STOP.
I believe the vaccine was developed before the release of covid
after all, how can you make billions of dollars on a man made virus
if the vaccine is not readily available?
rule no. 1 – always follow the money
If God didn’t make it!!
Do not take it!
My moto since 1968….
I think he supports vaxxes the same way Tulsi supports FISA 702.
Bingo,…technically more nuanced, he has said all along he is Not Anti-Vax, to differentiate himself from kooks like me, who oppose ALL vaccinations..
Let’s hope that is the case…
RFK,Jr has never been against ALL vaccines; some actually work however, none of the so-called new ones are efficacious, including the flu shots.
Wednesday.
Hearing is on Wednesday. Committee and floor vote unknown.

He’s always supported vaccines that actually work and do no harm. He’s said it numerous times that he and his family are vaccinated with all the ones he has approved. He’s never been anti vax like the media claims but he has worked towards eliminating certain ones that are either corrupted in production or that have been shown to be harmful and never had the proper vetting before release like the Covid vax.
This was not a groundswell to legalize psychedelics, Bobby.
Read the room.
I agree. However, the signaling is for a more ‘receptive’ FDA,etc. where the scientific method will be applied and debate allowed. For example, no more Fauci and co. running a poorly designed study to ensure Ivermectin or hydroxy chloroquine fail. He and Francis Collins targeted the Great Barrington Declaration rather than debate the supporters.
I’ve repeatedly ‘heard’ psychedelics are being tried for PTSD, wouldn’t some definitive ‘science’ be useful?
At least that is my hope.
None of the Vaxxes have ever had double-blind gold standard trials. NONE.
Yes, they knew Ivermectin worked. Fauci sabotaged alternatives and short-circuited the control groups, just like he did with his previous Deep State Bioweapon AIDS.
But in fairness, he also experimented on orphans.
And, if you go back and look at the #’s objectively, the early vaccines were rolled out at the same time America andWestern Society was going thru major improvements in sanitation, with sewers systems, municpal waste disposal, etc.
There was a time when human waste, animmal waste and garbage was in the streets…and as we changed that simultaneously with the roll out of vaccines, the reduction in childhood diseases can be equally attributed to the improvements in sanitation.
Also, most people don’t know that none of those older vaccines is 100%; there are always some people for whom they do not “take”.
therein the old saying (from merry ole England I believe)
“not a pot to pee in nor a window to throw it out of”
When I was a kid, we were dirty little rug rats because we were always outside into something.
When mama called you in to eat, you knew better than to sit down at the table before you washed your hands good with soap.
She was not beyond inspections and sending you back to wash again then having a reinspection when you came back. If you did not pass inspection the second time you were sent back and told not to come back until your hands were clean.
We were seldom ever sick.
Actually, LSD IS being used, right now to treat PTSD, a neighbor of mine, a vet goes in for treatmemts once a month, says it works great.
And, in the late 50’s it was used in a clinical trial to treat incorrigble alcoholics, and right after it was conducted, the FDA announced LSD had no medicinal value, and banned any further testing.
However, they continued to follow the participants, for 20-30 years, and 90% remained alcohol free, after just the 1 or 2 treatmenents.
One of those participants, named Bill, was so impressed with the results, and wanted to SHARE the experience with other alcohol addicts, that he came up with a program, that attempted to cause a similar kind of brain re-wiring, without LSD. He wrote a book about it, and started a Worldwide movement called Alcoholics Anonymous. Its said to be about 60% effective, not nrarly as goid as the lsd treatment, but the best we have to date.
See, at the time of the clinical trial, a big pharma company was selling Antabuse, a once a day, pill for life that would prevent alcoholism, so long as the person continued to take it, because any contact with alcohol would make them deathly ill.
And I pray he doesn’t mean fetal stem cells. They are no longer needed. Adult stem cells do the job.
And just yesterday, on a liberal radio station in the Windy City, the resurrection of ‘unapproved’ treatments for removing alleged hard metals from one’s body, has come forward again and been targeted has bad, not safe and not approved.
These concepts above and below, were brought to light during the early to mid 90’s when ADHD was exploding in our children.
For those who don’t know, these hard metals and food dye’s were a theory of one cause of ADHD, along with the red dye allergies and other food additives as being an allergy and the ‘allergic’ response was manifest as ADHD, autism/autism spectrum, Asperger’s, childhood Tourette’s syndromes and symptoms.
If my memory is also correct on this one…a lot of the people who seemed to favor this were liberals and vegans and or homeopaths.
For a body politic who always emphasizes “its for the children”…they failed our children. Deplorably.
Food additives and all the vaccines…somone has got to get to the bottom of this. Am wondering what the annual profit is on a big farma balance sheet, for meds that treat these issues?
Exactly right. Our food and medical treatments have been tainted for years and viable alternatives to treat illnesses that were less harmful, worked better and were cheaper were suppressed or outlawed, while pharma and others who made money from it all lobbied for their agenda and were successful. If RFK can get the windows open on some of this he will be a hero in the making. We are a sick nation and getting sicker. People need to know why and how to live healthier with easier access to treatments that work and do less harm overall. People neeed choices they understand and can use easily.
Before the ‘Al Gore’s Internet’ took off…there was a ‘clearing house’ of information available, was based out of Central Florida if my memory is correct…I cannot seem to find it anymore. Imagine that…/s
My opinions were formed by what 2 of my children went thru…which extended into their little social lives…they were tormented by their classmates and shunned for play dates…my out of pocket expenses with a platinum BCBS still back then, exceeded 250k.
IMHO motherly opinion, there is no punishment painful enough for those who hurt the children, making life painful and difficult….
$250K in expenses? … medical expenses?
“New and improved!” has been our demise.
And a pill for everuthing.
It has,…patients want the latest treatments, so Drs do, as well. And of coarse the profit motive weighs in, heavily favoring “New” over “established and reliable”.
Human clinical trials are (first phase) conducted on healthy, free of chronic condition subjects, who take the medicine for 30-60-90 days, and are monitored for any negatives.
Phase 2, they administer to those who ONLY have the condition the experimental med is intended to treat, because they don’t want any other conditions confusing or distorting the results.
Then, they enter phase 3, also known as marketing; they Rx it to MILLIONS of people, who have the condition but also other conditions, taking other medications, etc. and THATS when they find out that (for example) in one in 100,000 people, it destroys their liver (like they learned after they mass marketed Statins).
In their defence, there is no PRACTICAL way to do a clinical trial, to discover ALL of the drug intrractions, or other chronic conditions that would be contraindications to the new drug, other than marketing it.
Hence, for me n mine, when we do use Rx meds, I insist we use ones that are available in generic, as that means they have been available for over 20 years, which means all drug interactions and counterindicatiins are well known, as I don’t want us to be participants in this final stage of drug testing, thank you very much!
Bingo dutchman…the post-marketing surveillance data is THE most important. This will wash out the actual real-time adverse events. In the case of the covid shots, the required AESI (Adverse Events of Special Interest) data was very telling.
Ivermectin has been used for years, safely, and is safer than Ibuprofen.
Now many claim it cures many types of cancers.
Some questions from the Colombia thread about Greenland so…
Greenland: Importing Yet Another Underclass, by Gregory Hood –
There are many good reasons to acquire Greenland. Arctic shipping lanes will be increasingly important in the future. Greenland contains natural resources that the American economy needs, and we could exploit them more effectively than Denmark. In geopolitical terms, if America does not secure access, a rival most likely will. There is also a more mystical, and even metaphysical, justification. America is fundamentally a frontier nation.
Greenland may technically be a Danish territory, but it is not Norse. About 89 percent of the population is Inuit. The Thule Inuit population arrived in Greenland around 1000 AD, about the same time as the Norse settlers, represented most notably by Erik the Red. However, they stayed, while most of the Norsemen left. The Danish claim to Greenland was not truly resurrected until the 18th century, when a missionary, Hans Egede, re-established contact between Greenland and the Norse, who by then had been thoroughly Christianized. He founded Godthaab, the capital, now called Nuuk. The Danish granted Greenland home rule in 1979, but this did not reconcile the Inuits and the Danes, and the changing of the name of the capital was just one example.
Denmark gives Greenland more than half of its public budget every year with a block grant of about $511 million. Total subsidies from Denmark to Greenland each year are about $17,500 for each of the territory’s mere 56,000 residents. This does not include what the Kingdom spends on defense, an amount that was recently increased by about $1.2 billion. Greenlanders are also full citizens of Denmark and enjoy the services that come with being part of one of the world’s Nordic welfare states.
However, while many Americans might rejoice to see the flag advance, whites may have second thoughts if all we incorporate is yet another resentful population. Denmark’s efforts at “decolonization,” taken in the aftermath of World War II, seem to have garnered only resentment. While Greenland enjoys autonomy and subsidies, this is not enough.
The Danes did try to raise Inuits as Danes after World War II, with an initial attempt actually to postpone teaching in Greenlandic. In one notorious case, Inuits were separated from their families and sent to Denmark to be raised as Danes. However, that did not work, and is another example in the long history of white people refusing to understand that only white people can be white people. The misguided attempt at assimilation, including that so-called “Little Danes” experiment, is now more fodder for a victimhood culture. The Danish government officially apologized in 2022.
On June 21, 2020, amid calls for Greenlanders to “decolonize our minds,” a statue of missionary Hans Egade was vandalized with the word “Decolonize” written in red paint. Seemingly gluttons for punishment, Denmark set up a joint commission with Greenland in 2022 to investigate claims of wrongdoing in its “colonial history,” and to publicize the results. A burgeoning academic subculture of “decolonization” is already underway, with texts and lectures blaming Denmark for Greenland’s high suicide rate and alcoholism. Incorporating Greenland into the United States would no doubt supercharge that movement.
The truth is simple: We want Greenland; we do not want Greenlanders. However, the United States could probably absorb another troubled, but relatively small, population of non-whites complaining about white racist Americans. The Greenlanders themselves would have to get to the back of a very long line. It would not break us, and the benefits might well outweigh the costs. This is not an existential issue for white advocates. However, the costs should not be ignored.
We would be incorporating an overwhelmingly non-white population whose resentment and dependence would be transferred from Denmark to the United States. It is likely America will be able to get everything it wants from Greenland without the trouble of having to babysit Inuit for the rest of our national existence. To make America great again ultimately means making America white again. Taking on more than 50,000 Inuits would not help in that mission, especially with a highly developed DEI framework in government, business, and academia already in place. I am not opposed to Empire, which I regard as inevitable, but America was built by territorial acquisition by our people, not by taking on yet more dependents.
https://www.unz.com/ghood/greenland-importing-yet-another-underclass/
If the US built businesses and opened mines etc and paid them well, they would stay
We have one military base now and had many bases in Greenland during World War II.
Sounds racist. Is this really Mr. Unz? I agree we need to support Western Civilization, and nations like America, Japan, South Korea, and Israel have all done quite well.
BTW, Ethiopians and Nigerians are quite successful on America and aren’t ‘white’.
Denmark is in NATO, so isn’t Greenland already protected?
Are Intuits closely related to Native Americans?
SORT of related,Inuits are what we used to call eskimos, and are the “native” populstions of Alaska and Canada.
Native in quotes because as noted, it means they were there when Western white man arrived, so they got there first, or in the case of Greenland about the same arrival time.
And yes, loosely related, just as the Yaquis, which are native Americans in Mexico are ‘related’ and so too, native populations in Central and South America.
Well, the Nigerian Princes are particularly successful. I’ll give you that! 😉
The Nigerian Prince I went to college with was an excellent student. He and I got A’s in Philosophy and I didn’t have a clue about understanding philosophy when we were done. I don’t know if he “understood” it either. Everyone else failed or dropped. Good grades are only a measure of information recollection and keen memory. I memorized scripture as a child and was an excellent speller and English composition student.
Are Intuits closely related to Native Americans?
A: Intuitively.
Wordman ™, Where art thou?
Dibs!
<grins>
doesn’t UK have first dibs on Greenland ?
Sez who?
The Danes, only just today, after consulting with their masters in The City?
I saw an article about it…maybe I can find the link for it…I was surprised when I read it..
Only if it is sold.
If the Greenlanders vote to join the US then that is irrelevant.
I believe acquiring Greenland is imperative for US security.
See Hawaii as an example.
If the US was to give Hawaii back to Hawaii, China would conquer them in 6 months. The Hawaiians, perhaps then, would wish their American breatheren were back on their soil.
In 1950 Hawaii’s population was 500,000.. in 2024 it’s 1,500,000…but the most influx of people are from Asia, not the Continental US.
Would the Inuit people in Greenland prefer to be conquered by the US or by China?
Hawaiians apparently can afford their homeland now, many move to the mainland. Asians, AirBnB, etc.
Opinion: Many so-called experts will owe RFK Jr. an apology in 4 years
Go back and read his actual posts about COVID. Go back and read his actual posts about Ukraine. He courageously went against conventional wisdom — and the entrenched elites — on both subjects. He paid a very high price regarding his reputation. And guess what — he did not care.
He has been screaming out for a ceasefire in Ukraine from day one. I have long sided with him on Ukraine and have quoted him often in my columns. Just as he has screamed out since day one about the harsh dictates, the loss of liberty and the millions of children punished because of the overreactions and deliberate power grabs tied to COVID.
For anyone with a powerful platform, sooner or later you will have to ask yourself the two most important questions of your life: “If not me, who? If not now, when?”
Trump asked himself those questions in 2015 and dove into the political arena to save the country he loved. Kennedy has been asking himself those questions for years and stepping up when so many stepped away.

ICE busts Tren De Aragua Party
DEA busts drug traffickers in makeshift nightclub, takes 50 illegal aliens into custody
Feds take nearly 50 illegals into custody at Tren de Aragua makeshift nightclub
Federal agents took nearly 50 illegal immigrants into custody early Sunday during an operation targeting the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua (TdA)’s networks in Colorado.
The early morning raid targeted what federal authorities deemed a “makeshift nightclub” in Adams County that was “invite-only.” The DEA said “dozens connected to the Tren de Aragua (TdA) gang were there.”
“Drugs, weapons, and cash were seized in Adams County,” one post said. “Nearly 50 illegal aliens were taken into custody.”
Another post included video of the bus used to take the nearly 50 illegal immigrants away from the scene. The DEA said many of those detained are connected with TdA gang from Venezuela but did not specify the breakdown.

Now,….HOW did ICE know about this “makeshift, by invitation only” nightclub?
Because LOCAL LE TOLD THEM, thats how .
Just like our President Trump said, local LE know where they all live, hang out, etc…
Or there might be a TdA who has gone rogue and is a deeply embedded mole?

Telling President Trump what he wants to hear
Vladimir Putin says there would be no Ukraine war if 2020 US election had not been ‘stolen’ from Trump
Russian President Vladimir Putin boldly claimed that the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 would not have happened if Donald Trump had won the presidential election in 2020. In an interview with state-owned Rossiya TV correspondent Pavel Zarubin, Putin made comments about Trump’s most recent calls for a ceasefire.
“Russia has never refused contact with the U.S. administration. It wasn’t our fault that the previous administration refused those contacts. I’ve always had professional, yet pragmatic, and, I would say, trusting relations with the current U.S. president,” Putin said.
“And I can’t disagree with [Trump] when he says that if he had been president, if his 2020 victory hadn’t been stolen, perhaps the crisis in Ukraine that began in 2022 wouldn’t have happened.”
The Russian president went on to say it would be best for the presidents “to meet based on the realities of today and calmly discuss all the issues of mutual interest to the U.S. and Russia.” Putin then added that Russia was ready to talk about a possible ceasefire.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/vladimir-putin-says-there-would-be-no-ukraine-war-if-2020-us-election-had-not-been-stolen-from-trump/ar-AA1xRisj
Putin is NOT the impediment to a ceasefire, the Neocon warmongers are.
Because of their history, Putin has every right to insist on SITUATIONAL Guarantees, rather than any mere paper agreements, insuring Russias security.
Frankly, he can not afford to trust any agreement on paper, after our President Trump leaves office.
WHAT kind of a SITUATIONAL change, could give Putin that kind of solid assurance, that they wouldn’t start trying to carve up Russia, again?
The dissolution of NATO
Hear hear! I want to see all our troops in Europe brought home along with every piece of equipment we have there.
We bailed their asses out twice, and some still haven’t paid us back for the money we loaned them to rebuild.
We need to secure our borders and protect our nation first.
This includes stripping the Chinese of their owning US real estate. No foreign government or it’s proxies should be allowed to own one square inch of US soil.
We would be very lucky if we could get our troops out of the EU, a true blessing from God. The equipment will never be returned didn’t you see The Lord of War with N.Cage?
It’s long overdue.
Or, reprise Putins suggestion, that was rebuffed; have Russia join NATO.
THAT would provide lastinf assurance rhat NATO was not goung to attack Russia.
More like telling Trump the truth! President Trump would have never pushed Ukraine into NATO because he knew it was an invitation for war, Feisty!
More like sending him a message, they are communicating with each other thru their public statements..
That’s not flattery, it’s fact.
PDT was overthrown so they could install this Cannon Fodder Endless War Grift for BlackRock and Empire.
Matthew 5:9
Amen!
I read things from a variety of sources on both sides of the conflict.
I read pro-Ukraine, anti-Russia articles that take some very reasonable-sounding positions, but what I never have seen from anybody on the Ukraine side, at least the serious ones, is any acknowledgement of Barack Obama or the US’ involvement in Ukraine.
People who do interviews with Zelensky himself never seem to bring this up, even the media in opposition to Zelensky within that country.
Colombian President buckles under threat of tariffs 😉😃😍😎
Donald Trump secures deportations BREAKTHROUGH as Colombia offers up own presidential plane to take back illegal migrants
Donald Trump has secured a deportations breakthrough after Colombia’s president offered his own plane to help take back illegal migrants from his country.
A statement from president Gustavo Petro said he had “arranged the presidential plane to facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots” – a U-turn on his earlier vow to block the returns flights.
Just this weekend, Petro had rejected two planes’ worth of Colombian illegal migrants, saying: “I deny the entry of American planes carrying Colombian migrants into our territory.
But Trump then threatened Colombia with a series of hard-hitting tariff hikes – a 25 per cent tariff on all goods coming into the US from Colombia, which would jump to 50 per cent after just one week.
A panicked Colombian administration has now said: “The government of Colombia, under the direction of President Gustavo Petro, has arranged the presidential plane to facilitate the dignified return of the compatriots who were going to arrive in the country today in the morning, coming from deportation flights.

I ate a funky one the other morning! 🫤
950-odd deportations today. GREAT!!
I hope POTUS adds more ICE agents and supplemental staffing.
GREAT move by Team Trump to have Dr. Phil today accompany and speak briefly w a convicted child rapist the Biden regime released. SAVVY.
Dr. Phil has a big following, middle America and women. (Is he still on mainstream TV, or podcasts?)
ICE is using HSI, DEA and FBI for additional muscle!
87,000 armed IRS agents, could help a lot.
Touche! Good one.
IRS data alone is a deportation goldmine. Fraudulent use of Social Security numbers, tax payer identification number (means no ssn), return address, etc.
Did President Trump just advocate the ethnic cleansing of Gaza?
No, just emptying it of all Gazans by relocation to Jordan and Egypt both of whom reject the idea.
Hah,Palestinians are the ultimate NIMBY of the middle east; NOBODY wants them, and given theur behavior, who can blame them?
They have shown themselves to be a cancer that destroys its host. No one wants to infect themselves with cancer, UNLESS YOU’RE A DEMOCRAT LEFTIST H3LLBENT ON DESTROYING THE UNITED STATES.
Their attitudes and their way of life is anathema to other peace-loving peoples around the world. There is a reason why God ordered the complete, total, and utter destruction of those that Israel warred against in the Scriptures. To cut out the cancer permanently.
Yeah, that’s advocating ethnic cleansing.
Ethnic cleansing is when you out a bullet in their head, this is just taking out the trash…
Only if the ethnicity believes one political idea. So it is a political cleansing as Islam is a political group.
Both countries have been there, done that only to expel the locusts.
It’s unreasonable to expect that any country can absorb 3/4M “gazans.” Split them up & give everyone in ME a smaller part of the rotten pie.
Bombs For Kids is the name of that program.
Yes. I’m not sure he meant what he said but I’m sure Jared has his eyes on beachfront property
Squeeze play.
You see the squeeze, now watch for the score.
Apparently the Illegal Aliens are too afraid of ICE to go to Walmart?
Or their bennies have been turned off.
This is the reason that the Walton family has been a proponent and supporter of illegal aliens flooding our country.
They have made hundreds of billions while it’s costed us tax payers hundred of billions to support them.
Please remember that back in Bubba’s term, the “Mrs.” had been tinkering with WMT and the business model, and at one point was a member of their board of directors?
The TV adds of 20 some odd years ago… that brought negative publicity to WMT and their business practices, seem to have vanished
I have often posted about the financial benefits of immigration…new people setting up a new home and all that is needed in our society for a household with kids…Curtains, towels, sheets, electronics, mops, brooms, clothes, sponges, soaps, kids toys and clothes, adult clothes…furniture…beds, pillows, lamps etc…HD for lawn care and appliances…the list goes on…
Its no wonder old brands like Ethan Allen, Thomasville, Pennsylvania House have gone by the wayside in favor of cheap furniture from you know where…
Broyhill too.
Electronic Benefits Payment = Subsidized Labor
Walmart cant afford an increase in labor costs, but apparently taxpayers can.
Yep the US taxpayer is forced to subsidize all of these illegals living costs-otherwise they would not be able to survive on the wages paid to them.
They are all going to Pritzker’s sanctuary state…my WMT shows no changes.
I bet the Mexi-cans in Aurora are worried…😉
Food stamps,that’s the actual reason ,no Money. These stores count on their money. It’s all embedded in the system.
Texas teacher invites ICE to raid his school: ‘I have many students who don’t even speak English’
A Texas substitute teacher has come under fire after inviting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to raid his school because his students “don’t even speak English.”
Fort Worth Independent School District officials launched an investigation after the substitute teacher responded to a post by ICE on social media giving an update on arrests for Jan. 23.
The teacher, who was not publicly identified but had the X username @Hookem232, called for agents to “come to Fort Worth, TX to Northside High School,” according to the Dallas Morning News.
“I have many students who don’t even speak English and they are in 10th-11th grade. They have to communicate through their iPhone translator with me. The [U.S. Department of Education] should totally overhaul our school system in Texas too,” the post added.

I’ve been thinking all along we need a hotline for tips.
https://x.com/ICEgov/status/1883177395030499519/photo/1
When the Trump administration asked for undercover “tips”, the comments here went crazy although maybe those comments were made by trolls or just self righteous people?
They probably have a bunch of 20 somethings masquerading as high school kids to perv out on the young girls.
To abduct and traffic
They have been ‘pretending’ to go to HS where they sell drugs to students for 30 years.
That was going on about 25 years ago, too.
Martha Raddatz…..’but the schools , you want to RAID the schools….the people are so afraid…..waaaaahhhhh”
Anyone remember the stories of Central American males, of adult age, trying to pass as high school or jr. high school age kids?
I do.
Right on. …I thought people had forgotten…
No one is against immigration, the legal type. But some of those illegally here get more money and contribute to the balance sheet, more quickly, of the globalists…that’s why they don’t want ‘meritocracy’. Few would qualify on ‘merit’….ergo…less money to be spent overall?
Middle-aged men, because they wanted an education, enrolled in primary school. I don’t blame them. Autodidactics can teach themselves (President Lincoln and George Romney.) Others who don’t know how to find resources have to resort to other means. In countries, like Central America, and Mexico where your skin color determines your range of life goals this can be very frustrating. Many turn to gangs and drugs because their parents do not help their children to learn and are able to profit from the criminal children. Christian groups send education materials reportedly for children but I am sure many, many adults peruse the materials too. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. The “colonialism” is what the western world was trying to do educate the brown and black masses, but the “leaders” only got educated themselves and profited off of drug money and very few had any jobs other than menial work or erupting war on their internal enemies. If one gets killed in war they don’t need a job or food. The “caste” system solved this as you knew what you were going to do for your life work. Nothing new under the sun. We are gnawing at the same old bone. Not everyone needs a college degree or a high paying job. Everyone needs the Lord.
yes.
Usually 2nd generation learn English and do not speak their native language except to the relatives. That is probably a ruse to upset the teacher.
And mean while Fort Worth property owners have to send their children to private school, or home school to ensure they get a basic education. We are paying twice for the same government service.
Why aren’t their phones being shut down? The phones are their lifelines, funds, communications and instructions etc! Who is the carrier? Can you imagine the cost of the phone bills????
Can they track these illegals via their phones, like the DOJ tracked the J-6 attendees? Is this why they haven’t been shut down?
Because a huge contingent of government staff wants the illegals here and the free money train rolling.
Can you imagine the cost of the iphones themselves?….apparently only the best for the illegal aliens. SPIT!
Insta saying Columbian president now offering planes to pick up illegals 🤣 that was fast
PR stunt?

Love ya, Ad Rem!

Thanks Puddy, y’all rock. 🙂
Since he started in the middle of the day, do we count that as a day?
If we are going to be that picky, we are going to need to call it 7&1/2 days.
Squirrel!
Also, are you a year old when you are born or when you have your first birthday?
First birthday. You are weeks old or months old before you reach 12 months.

Nashville school where teen killed classmate had no metal detectors — apparently because administrators think they could be racist: ‘Bunch of bull’
The Nashville high school where a teen gunman killed a fellow student last week had no metal detectors — apparently because administrators think they could be racist.
A former board member told The Post that the misguided administrators are responsible for keeping them out even over many parents’ objections.
“I knew this day was gonna happen,” said Fran Bush, formerly a Metro Nashville Public Schools board member.
“I knew it was gonna happen just because it’s like a free open door, everybody coming in,” she said of the Tennessee district’s schools, including Antioch High, where 17-year-old shooter Solomon Henderson murdered a 16-year-old classmate Wednesday.
https://nypost.com/2025/01/26/us-news/nashville-school-where-teen-killed-classmate-had-no-metal-detectors-apparently-because-administrators-think-they-could-be-racist/
Metal Detectors are Racist
Racist against who? Metal people??
People who judge themselves harshly when encountering any form of mirror.
Vampires?
If it reflects, they reject.
Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man
That he didn’t, didn’t already have
Trayvon Martin and his drug paraphernalia and burglary tools he kept in his school lockers. I am assuming dental “grills” have some kind of metal in them.
Because EVERYTHING on the planet is racist to liberals . Liberals actually accused a hurricane of being racist when it swerved off course and damaged a low income neighborhood instead of staying on it’s predicted path which would of had it damage a higher income neighborhood , no joke.
They called a freaking chipmunk racist when they realized the chipmunk built his home under the right side of somebody’s house instead of the left side , I kid you not .
There is no question that liberalism is a serious mental disorder.
Metal Detectors be all raayyyyycisss an’ sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
Parents should sue the school
and personally sue the administrators that instituted that policy. It comes down to only a select few people, the principle and board of directors and they are directly responsible.
The trope arises as an effort to obscure the historical mental issues of the shooter and meds he was taking for same.

Liberal media has been uninterested in investigating the couple involved in shooting dead a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Coventry, Vermont near the Canadian border on inauguration day. Why?
Both in the duo are leftist trans militants. One of the deceased armed militants is a German believed to be in the country on an H-1B visa. The duo is allegedly connected to a trans terror cell.
Federal law enforcement had been surveilling German man Felix “Ophelia” Baukholt and Seattle a UW student Teresa “Milo” Youngblut (xe/xem/xyrs) after staff at a Lyndonville, Vt. motel reported seeing them with black tactical clothing, weapons and protective militia-style equipment.
When the duo was pulled over on Jan. 20, Youngblut allegedly shot dead Officer David Maland in a surprise attack. In the returning fire, Baukholt, who was also armed, was killed.
Youngblut was injured and survived. I spoke with Jessica Taylor a Berkeley, Calif. woman who had met Baukholt over the years. She confirmed that Baulkholt is trans.

Trans terror cells. Un-be-freakin’-lievable !!
Makes sense, really… fundamentally unstable… radicalized by Leftist Propaganda in recent years…
Another lost generation.
He is an H1b overstay. It has expired.
Literally.
Pure speculation on my part based on a careful study of federal investigators;
There is a blackout to protect the investigators. They requested Border Patrol made a wall stop for some small thing to protect an ongoing investigation. Critical officer safety threat assessment information was withheld.
Given what we know now, this should have been a felony hot stop for officer safety. It wasn’t, why is that? Think Fast and Furious. Someone left their fellow holding the bag.
A lively monologue.
This vlogger from Cyprus says that the US foreign aid moratorium includes Ukraine military spending. He adds that PDJT said he does not expect the US to take part in rebuilding Ukraine after the war ends. (I have not seen any verification of these points.)
Good quote: “The regime-change-industrial complex is going to be very upset.”
The Ukraine material starts around 4:30
I’m relieved that our President isn’t all in for our money to be used for rebuilding Ukraine. We have more than enough to rebuild here.
The Mossad killed JFK over his objections to nuclear testing by Israel…
https://youtube.com/shorts/1xwUYBhCESY?
Yeah,…right.
C’mon Dutch, ya gotta let them have their fantasies…….
“Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah God had made.”
When the actual files are released are you going to contemplate just how it was you were so gullible to believe such stupidity?
I harbor no hope that anything released resembles the truth.
How about the CIA working with the mafia? They was promised control of the casinos in Cuba if they worked with the Spooks. When Kennedy withdrew air support during the Bay of Pigs ensuring the failure of said invasion, the mafia took it personal. When Kennedy stoped all above ground nuclear testing and made diplomatic progress with the USSR (the hotline to Moscow being just one aspect) the CIA thought up the Magic Bullet.
Well documented, if you look, that FBI/CIA bugged Goldwaters plane, listened in on his strategy sessions, identified an opening they could exploit, fed a gotcha set up question to the MSM, in order to release the most effective political ad in history, which destroyed his campaign.
JFK and Goldwater were planning on doing a cross country tour by train, with stops in major cities, where they would debate.
Neither was prepared to follow the “advice” of the I/C regarding Viet Nam, and one was pokitically assassinated, the other was literally assassinated, and we had the vietnam war as a result.., where lots of defence contractors made lots of money.
Maybe JFK was afraid Israel would be overrun and nukes would fall into the wrong hands.
This is still great.

President Trump,Sir, Bravo on the Colombian President.
Why exactly do we need the Patriot Act and an all encompassing Surveillance State once we clean the riff raff out and you beat the Cartels into submission? I am asking for all of us.
While I very much appreciate PDJT taking on the transgender insanity, he is wrong wrong wrong that sex/gender is “assigned at birth.” That is a concept created by the gender ideologues themselves. Au contraire, sex is determined at conception.
Is there anyone who can set him straight?
https://x.com/JDunlap1974/status/1883463816681566710
Yet at birth, it is confirmed.
In effect, that statement is correct in that until the live child is witnessed after leaving the birth canal, (sans sonograms and ultrasounds), then the sex of the infant is able to be verified.
Then maybe “verified at birth” would be more accurate wording than “assigned at birth”.
Splitting hairs

He’s not a biologist!
And yet, I am pretty sure he can define a woman, lol.

What Europeans don’t Understand about Trump. [link in bold] A little over 10 minute video. A few quotes:
“European countries have ceased to be great historical powers so Europe’s influence on world events is minimal. As a result, Europeans have forgotten that [American] politics is a matter of life and death.
“A German friend of mine told me to relax [about the upcoming election] saying that, after all it’s “only politics.” And I pointed out to him that in his country, politics is indeed only politics, while in mine politics is a matter of life and death around the world, reminding him that because President Trump lost in 2020 Russian forces were encroaching upon eastern Europe with deaths well in excess of a hundred thousand, over a thousand Jews were slaughtered in Israel, and Afghan women were enslaved and Afghan gays stoned to death.
“If Europeans—and the American left who think as they do—were to remember what is actually at stake in American elections, they would understand that a rambunctious tough-guy type is far preferable for the world than an insecure woman [Kamala] whose weakness was matched only by her monumental cluelessness and lack of intelligence.
“Also moral purism. Being post-historical and having little geopolitical responsibility, moral purism is not only tempting—but is the actual norm. Just as everyone judges historical actions from the advantage of hindsight, not having to confront the stress and uncertainty that the historical actors had to face in their moments of decision, so too post-historical peoples are able to point at powerful actors and tell them what is right and good.
“But those who have real responsibility understand that moral purism is impractical. Trump, in ending the war in Ukraine—which he will—understands that while moral purism may dictate that Russia is an evil imperialistic aggressor – but only practicality can bring peace to eastern Europe. To resolve a stalemate that is increasingly tilting in Russia’s favor, the matter can be acceptably solved only by a peace agreement that on the one hand will leave our moral urges unsatisfied, but on the other hand will render the world less chaotic.
“Religion is so much weaker in Europe, even among conservatives. When one listens to many conservatives in western and northern Europe, they so often focus on the Islamization of their countries and on resisting the bosses in Brussels. These worthwhile causes often come at the expense of positive visions of what a better society looks like such as through the embrace of family, faith, and local communal bonds.
“These seem dangerously nativist to squeamish Europeans, and a genuine belief in Jesus as the anointed son of God will draw amused smiles even in many conservative circles.
“President-elect Trump and the conservative movement does not suffer from this squeamishness. Rather it unabashedly proclaims what it holds true—it proclaims America’s superiority to the rest of the world, it is proudly armed, and with positive naïveté it raises the cross for all to see.
On moral purism and the war in Ukraine, the author repeats and therefore propogates a lie.
Russia initiated the hostilites, as in invading, however they endured many years of provocations including shelling of Donbass, and many broken promises.
PDJT may be forced, due to politics, to give lip service to this rediculous “Russia is the bully, and we must protect the Democracy of Ukraine” bullshyte, but that doesn’t mean he actually believes it.
Russia has far mor legitimate justification to invade Ukraine, than the U.S. had to attack Iraq, either time.
Some of these die-hard Libtards are some thing else. Their communist controllers can spit in their faces and they would swear it was raining.
From the “archives”.
Iowa state fair.
I believe that was season 2, in California, where President Trump had just bought a new property. The civilian winner of the season would manage the Trumpification project for a year with a very nice salary. But the best part was learning under the master.
After that year they changed it to Celebrity Apprentice and it became a totally different show. He resurrected a lot of careers though.
Yee-haw…….you’re on a roll 🙂

Why Trump Is Routing the Free Traders
https://buchanan.org/blog/trump-routing-free-traders-125393
“For, in denouncing NAFTA, the WTO, MFN for China and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, all backed by Bush I and II, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, Trump is all but calling his own party leaders dunderheads and losers.
And he seems to be winning the argument.
As he calls for the repudiation of “globalism” and a return to “Americanism,””
It’s really simple. If YOU do not put [YOUR_country] FIRST, in everything that you do and that you negotiate, “nobody else on earth ever will!”
And, why should they? They’ve all got [THEIR_country] to put FIRST! If you want to just hand them the advantage, they’ll take it! (As would you.)
This isn’t rocket science. 🚀
As they used to say in in-flight magazines: “you get what you negotiate.”

How right he is.
I just read about that last night. Not NJ specifically, but the flower business.
I didn’t know we’d taken specific action to wreck it for our country.
So many say “Oh, I am not interested in POLITICS!”
Well,POLitics and POLicy have the same root, for a reason.
Politics is the process for detirming what public policy is going to be; what the Government is and is not going to do, and how its going to do it, from whether there is water in the hydrants, and a stop light at the intersection, to whether our country goes to war, and who fights if it does.
Politics is all encompasing, and all important, and its is NOT about personalities, perks or quirks, those are distractions, to keep us distracted and not focusing on POLICIES.
Exactly right Dutchman!
What an idiot.
What did RFK Jr. do to anybody?

WE CAN’T STOP WINNING!
(MAGA MARK Dice)
From the archives…
Tech stocks on track for $1 trillion wipe-out today.
China has astonished the artificial intelligence community with a new ‘DeepSeek’ model that runs at the fraction of the cost of American “frontier” models. DeepSeek is now #1 on the AppStore, surpassing ChatGPT—no NVIDIA supercomputers or $100M needed.
DeepSeek has published the source code, so everyone can download it and run it. Not for the first time, China appears to have copied someone else’s product, and can sell a much cheaper version.
We are in an exponential period. Companies need to constantly improve or get ran over. In the past it would be decades until your downfall, now it’s months.
This is from a Wired article. An interesting viewpoint: forced to adapt with limited resources made them create something better and more efficient. Kinda like Space X outdoing all the old, ingrained Big Space companies by doing it better and cheaper.
“DeepSeek’s success points to an unintended outcome of the tech cold war between the US and China. US export controls have severely curtailed the ability of Chinese tech firms to compete on Al in the Western way-that is, infinitely scaling up by buying more chips and training for a longer period of time. As a result, most Chinese companies have focused on downstream applications rather than building their own models. But with its latest release, DeepSeek proves that there’s another way to win: by revamping the foundational structure of Al models and using limited resources more efficiently.”
Now, there is a lot of concerns about what people share but that’s on the individual.
You can download and run some of these models (Ollama’s one of them) locally, but not everyone can do that.
It’s amazing what you can do with Python and free packages in terms of facial and object recognition in live camera feeds.
I’m currently doing a post grad program to learn AI and machine learning. I think the future for small businesses is implementing self-hosted solutions with models that are fine-tuned (trained) for your particular need: data security.
One also has to understand product lifecycles and the various stages…Apple is a good one for trying to stay ahead.
The computer industry loves “A.I.” because they expect it to sell lots of very high-end hardware. They like “crypto” for the same reason.
They like “mass surveillance” because it will sell lots of mass-storage devices. To one day be reviewed by government “Top … Men.” 🤡
By now if you trust China you are a f*cking idiot. Even if I get this one wrong it will not get me to trust China.
Exactly. Don’t be surprised to find this isn’t an op being run to damage US markets.
Side note about China copying…
….I remember an article I read about 15 or so maybe more years ago…how China had their people here in America, photographing products in many stores, mostly Big Box types. It was thought they sent the pix home so they could figure out what products were big sellers and how to make fakes that they then nto insert into our ‘markets’.
Amazon is having a big problem with those fakes on their site.
They even copy the wording and images of other sellers.
“A.I.” didn’t just get “wiped out.” Instead, in the full spirit of “open source,” it just became more powerful and efficient.
In the modern computer era, you grow by sharing.
Well, I wonder if anyone will ask Columbia, Honduras, etc. if their ‘compatriots’ are returned home are their families also ‘compatriots’? 🤔
Lindsey Graham is the top seed to replace McConnell in the race to becoming irrelevant.
I can only hope he becomes irrelevant to the fine folks of South Carolina
As a South Carolinian, Graham has always been irrelevant. Unfortunately, the deep state ensures his “win.”

I’m sure he’s got kiddie porn on his computer. they should take a look at that.

Following Trump’s threat, the Colombian government quickly caved, even offering its own presidential plane to accept Colombian nationals who illegally migrated to the United States.
Am I the only one who thinks that the use of his presidential plane is a PR stunt?
All y’all know, I fully embrace my and sometimes misplaced cynicism. but ‘enquiring minds want to know’….
Might be the only plane that’s airworthy.
The only thing I want to know is if they are getting this royal treatment, are so important to their leader, their el Presidente, then why did they all leave in the first place?
Hah, trying to save face by claiming el Presidentes position was all about insisting his people be repatriated “with dignity”.
Yeah, right.
Will they be re-incarcerated with dignity?
