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.
The purpose and goals of President Trump are plainly visible by his actions and consistent: He is for the benefit first of the common PEOPLE of this country, then of the PEOPLE in the rest of the world. It is validating, even to our battered conservative skepticism.
The methods of his leadership are amazing. I still don’t get HOW he does it, or HOW he is able to get so much momentum going, but every day the momentum is growing. Everyone and every organization has their eyes opened every day — just by watching him. Even those who hate him, are biased against him, and want to see him gone — cannot ignore him. He lives rent free in their head, and they come around to seeing the universal principles by which he is operating. He hammers actions based on truth from one direction, then another, and they cannot mount an organized opposition against him.
President Trump is transparent in his words and actions. He is consistent in what he says, what he does, and what he asks/demands of others. His promises are bold and he keeps them like no other president has. He is making massive, nearly overnight changes, not only in our country, but in the world. It is amazing that he is able to accomplish so much when there are so many snakes in the grass. This term, he is weeding them out faster. No U.S. president has ever faced so much organized resistance and treason than President Trump
He has chosen to use his intellect and every skill he has to do what is right. He has tremendous faith that he can make a difference in this world. He has a confidence and courage such that he doesn’t care what others think, yet a humility to know he has to do it with the help of like minded people. Those people are the “common” people, and he ridicules those who think they are not common.
He believes people are basically good. He believes that God is real. He believes that healthy people are happy people, and they need to be able to create wealth freely for their labor, and have the freedom to spend their money on what is good for them.
He believes the United States, with its Constitutional Republic, is the best environment in the world to enable and give opportunity for people to be happy and prosperous.
He believes that we can be a light for the world, but we must demand that the rest of the world respect us and our right to life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of happiness.
He believes the enemy of our country are the stupid, greedy American people who have been selfishly taking advantage of this country; who betrayed the trust and obedience of its people; and who diverted the people’s wealth for their own selfish gain, at the expense of the principles of this country. He’s not going to allow that anymore.
He has cultivated and focused the family of MAGA. Identifying those people whose goodness, industriousness, trust, and obedience have been taken advantage of and abused. He has opened our eyes to this abuse, and the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the healthy distrust of government and men with too much power held by our founders. He has recultivated the desire to reclaim our freedoms and rights, and is empowering us with a hope and pathway to reclaim our spiritual and economic freedom.
He wants the US to be a light of hope on the hill for all people. He will negotiate win/win agreements with those nations and countries who respect us; who respect the principles and intent of our Constitution. If you do not respect us, however, we are not going to let you take advantage of our goodness, or share in our wealth at our expense. If you as a nation are treating your people badly, you are going to be treated less favorably by us, until you show that you value your people as much as we value ours.
He is convincing those who are very wealthy (most of whom truly earned their money), that the best economic soil in which to build wealth is in a constitutional republic, which supports the ability of the common man to earn wealth in proportion to his efforts. The economic engine of the United States is the human spirit freed to enjoy the fruits of honest labor, and that engine has more natural and raw horsepower than any other governed economy.
The Trump Train seems to be remarkably aligned with universal principles of Truth, which reflect the will and design of our Creator, and are the best standard by which we should live. These same principles were what our country’s founders used to declare independence, and framed into the Constitution of this nation.
Our founders believed that a nation should preserve the right and freedom of an individual to seek, understand, and live by God’s principles. They believed that free individuals working together in humility would make a stronger nation than a government which dictates its will on the people. President Trump professes and seeks to lead and restore this nation back to these same principles.
These principles resonate deeply within all human beings, down to our DNA in every cell, in our spirits, and produce fruit that “miraculously” multiplies. Because we follow universal principles, we see the snowballing acceleration of momentum on day 241 of the 2nd term of this very stable genius in the history of the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2025.
Amen. Go God beat the devil.
He already did.
America’s enemies want us at each other’s throats over Charlie Kirk — don’t take the bait
https://nypost.com/2025/09/16/opinion/americas-enemies-aim-to-divide-us-over-charlie-kirks-murder-dont-take-the-bait
It’s astounding, how the assassination of Charlie Kirk has brought out the best and worst in people.
I’m still trying to wrap my head around it.
If you look at the majority of the vile Folk Celebrating Charlie Kirk’s death you’ll note many have mental disorders.
It is a spiritual sickness to be given over to a reprobate mind.
In discussions about faith, Charlie Kirk often pointed out that without a solid foundation in Christ, individuals might struggle to find meaning or direction, which could lead to feelings of madness or chaos in their lives.
Faith in Jesus is essential for mental and emotional well-being.
The arguments about meaning without Jesus really don’t exist. I can get to a logical place where heinous crime doesn’t matter.
William Lane Craig destroys loonies with this argument. He is a bit out there at times, but his logic around this is on the money.
I was about to get into this.
Religious freedom means the right not to be religious too.
Frankly, I don’t care where you draw your inner strength from, as long as you have something that grounds you and keeps your head on the right track.
There are people that spend their lives out in nature and call that their Church.. this is real and it’s their right.
We want good people, and your path to that place is your own.
People forget how big the Republican tent really is.
We need to remember this as we grow our base to win more power.
Our base will wind up looking like a picture of America, we now have a ton of former Democrats on our side and their beliefs are all over the place- but aren’t we glad they are no longer going to vote Democrat?
Donald Trump was once a Democrat voter, so was Tulsi and RFJ Jr.
So we’ve got to open up our minds to where it’s at today and what we need to be and do.
The logic is about the moral grounding of right and wrong, which springs from the Bible.
And we have the right not to read the Bible.
Sure. Not surprisingly, the Bible is very clear about that – even about it will be the few who do so.
NH…thank you for writing this. I consider myself in that catagory and very rarely attend organized religious events. Within the past week I did attend a funeral in one of the more formal traditional churches. It was what I guess is called “high” services for an outstanding woman who accomplished national achievements on several levels, was extremely philanthropic supporting the arts, was “outstanding woman of the year”, an educator and mentor…..and yet the service barely mentioned her. It was all ritual..recite this,respond thusly, stand up, sit down., bow your heads, etc. for those regular parishioners of many years it must have been comforting to go through the familiar rites, not having to even read the program.
But, as I sat there, I thought…no wonder it drove the younger generation away….there was absolute nothing there for them. How could they relate to the elaborate gold-embroidery robes and head pieces , the bowing, the mindless mumbling of the designated passages. It was all about the church and most definitely not about the person for whom we were there to honor and say goodbye. I left that service very empty and later sat outside looking into the woods to remember her life and say my own farewell….following my own path, as you say, NHnative, and happy to do so.
I had the opposite experience.
I recently attended funeral mass for my mother-in-law, in a Catholic church.
The service was a celebration of her life, as a teacher, as a school administrator, as a mother and as a grand- and great-grandmother.
Yes, it had ritual. But, it was beautiful, reverent, and a real tribute to a person most folks only dream of becoming.
Total respect for you and NHnative, Teagan.
My ‘return’ to the Bible transpired through interpersonal interactions without church membership.
Working in my garden and in other’s gardens is much more satisfying than church attendance, and in any event, I need Sunday mornings to make my nut, to earn income to pay for food, utilities, business expenses and TAXES, with the latter being absolutely the largest expense.
I believe in living and let living, which is why I cannot tolerate 1$lom and am wary of closet Marxists.
Bare feet, hands in the dirt, sacred to some.
NHnative,
I don’t think anybody here is suggesting you don’t have the freedom to not be religious.
I absolutely agree and consider myself a small ‘c’ Christian.
By that, I mean that the life of Christ is undeniable, scientifically and historically.
Further, he led an exemplar life, worth trying to live by, if that is one’s choice.
Whether he is the ‘son of God’ and what exactly is ‘God’, is another matter entirely, which I will not attempt to get into in this forum.
Also, until Donald Trump came along, I was a registered Democrat who sometimes voted Republican (consistently for Silvio O’Conte-good, Bill Weld -good only in that he prevented Silber). Further, I have always been anti-war, and President Trump’s intelligence, sense of humor, anti-Globalism, and pledge to preside as a peacemaker attracted me.
I have been resolutely ‘MAGA’, or simply ‘American’, since the day he was first elected.
Thank you, read as a child an article. Words always stuck with me. “ I came to save the mountain, the mountain ending up saving me.”
We are off the presidential topic, but not really, because PDJT is really as executive, trying to restore law, order, sanity, morality, stability, and life, liberty and happiness to We the [common working] people. With no money, we have not national defense. The economic engine of the U.S. is due to the economy and the motivation of people to work. People work with reward, meaning, purpose, and hope. In communism/socialism [which drift toward totalitarianism by those in power] hope is squelched.
Back to Mrs. Sunshine’s “Faith in Jesus is essential for mental and emotional well being”, and the comments about whether Jesus is necessary for mental and emotional well being:
A child develops in relatively sequential steps. These steps are programmed in DNA. Whether you discover the steps in scientific method of trial and error, Socratic method of passing on experience, or pure faith seeking God’s way — they should lead to the same truth — if God is who he says he is and is the author of the DNA programming.
The developmental process and components of raising a child are also programmed in DNA, as you must have a male and female to make a baby. We are genetically designed to develop in a nuclear family, and in most cases a community . A bee or goose needs a hive or flock to live. If it is separated it will not flourish and may die. Humans who are separated from other humans or think they don’t need community also will not flourish, become dysfunctional will die.
Many forces have been consciously put in place by the Marxist/communist forces (rules for radicals, communist manifesto) the squelch healthy community, teach others to disrupt healthy fellowship and community, deny the existence and wisdom of God, and even in a non religious culture deny obvious universal truth and morals.
TV, Movies, cell phones, sports, news, “social” media, squelching of free speech and collaborative discourse. Calling disagreement “hate” and teaching acceptance of diversity rather than collaborative pursuit of Truth and common principles to live by and promote unity — have destroyed positive growth.
Poisoning the education of our children from preschool, to college, and unions have created “growth” centers for anti-social, anti-moral indoctrination. Listen to the content of the scripts in children’s cartoons, video games, teen and adult video games — it is vile. Listen to the content of non Christian songs and movies.
On the other hand – every system you study that consistently produces excellence and character growth is best summed up by doing a word search in the Bible on “one another”: Study with one another, submit to one another, build one another up, meet with one another, teach one another, count one another better than yourselves, restore one another gently without passing judgement… on an on.
You will find these principles in 12 step group, intense Christian discipleship, childhood education, making of Olympic champions, professional athletes, Navy SEALs and other elite warriors. They are in the Wisdom literature, Steven Covey literature.
Destruction of healthy community, based on refined universal principles of Truth is what is destroying this country and creating Charlie Kirk killers.
The solution: Rebuild academic discourse centered on an honest and humble pursuit of truth. Identify the intentional forces that are paying for and actively destroying these processes and communities. Restore the ability for people to be monetarily, psychologically, emotionally rewarded for growth in character. This will make America Great again.
Solitude.
The hard left’s race to the most aggrieved status is absolutely attributable to whiny, emotional fragility. Inability to cope with the world around you is a mental disorder.
The whole world knew Charlie Kirk.
I wonder what Charlie is diverting our attention from?
Already are some in the Administration using this Tragedy to push their Orwellian “pre-crime” Thought Police gadgetry and Speech Modification “Laws”..
The subhumans that gloated about Charlie’s Political Assassination should be made homeless pariahs by the General Populace, not by State Decree.
💯💯💯
It was an abomination Bondi got on TV talking about “prosecuting hate speech on both sides of the aisle”. Absolute democrat talking point and she thinks the right is so stupid we won’t notice because it comes from her.
Something is seriously wrong. Bondi should have been fired a long time ago. If her outrageous retarded behavior is allowed to continue must longer, it’s going to do too much damage in the midterms, a lot of voters will stay home, and the R majority is gone and the PDJT impeachment proceedings will proceed.
I don’t understand how any legitimate Republican can talk about “hate speech”. It’s like “social justice”- a fantasy of the left.
“Hate Speech” is just speech they hate.
Godly people know the only hate discussed in the Bible. “To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.” Proverbs 8:13
Words for those who are behind the EVIL, supporting it and fomenting chaos — “For, Whoever would love life and see good days must keep their tongue from evil and their lips from deceitful speech. They must turn from evil and do good;they must seek peace and persue it.” 1 Peter 3:10-11
Somebody needs to whisper that in their (D) representative’s ear.
I think “hate speech” is real…it’s not speech you hate (that’s merely words) but rather using speech to deliberately incite violence and destroy. I do not see how that can be called anything but hate by evil persons with malicious intent.
Teagan: A thought without action is just a thought. Thus far, we don’t prosecute thought, but, we’re getting there.
Using speech to incite violence is already against the law. When the left uses “hate speech” it may entail reciting facts that may disagree with their narrative….. no violence involved
Gen Sensibility: Full agreement.
It is time for her to resign. Is that “hate speech”?
All this Discord and small group communist chat room stuff makes this feel like a push for more Palantir and privacy intrusion.
Yep. How is it, speaking for myself, good natured Patriots can spend the last four years biting our fingernails down to the nubs thinking everyday was “The Day” that The Flash Bang Intimidators would fast rope into our front yards at 3AM, knock our door off the hinges, shoot our pit bulls and drag us off to The Gulag for posting what we saw as The Truth to CTH, while these insane perverts are given a free hand to run amok on the Interwebs?
The FedGov had no problem using Palantir after J6, why can’t they seem to aim it at the Communists? It’s ALREADY in place.. all they have to do is press the “play” and “record” buttons at the same time..
Hopefully it’s being turned on Antifa as we speak. Many university clowns and big financiers will be quickly caught in that web.
sorry. 😎
The demons can only kill me once. They can’t arrest all of us. F*** Them. Never Give Up. Words are our Weapons.
I’ve felt much the same as I have been more or less housebound with no feasible way to treat my chronic pain since 2019.
CTH has afforded me an outlet where I can affect positive change by motivating someone, anyone in a position of influence after reading one my smartass responses to Sundance’s brilliant work or some prescient observation of other Seasoned and Newly Dedicated Treehousers.
I have thought the same about the patriot act 702″s on our DS problem……Why?
Funny you mention this.
As soon as tragedy takes over the narrative, the first thing I do is go look around at what is going on out there that they are happy we’re not watching.
I happened to notice Israel wiping Gaza off the map… I’m not getting into how I feel about this- I just thought to myself seeing the massive strikes that this would be THE Story if we were not all focused upon Charlie’s assassination.
We are also not focusing on the evidence Tulsi dumped into the FBI and DOJ’s lap …..the lack of action.
Every time a rock gets turned over we find a swarm of government funded, government directed, evil bugs swarming around the ugly parts.
We indirectly took down a small portion, using DOGE on USAID, but there are still many more.
There is also funding from EU and from the UN. They seem to all push the same evil. Using hidden public/private partnerships, but it is really hidden fascism. The government controlling NGOs and Corporations to control and manipulate the people.
All these humans behaving badly are the culmination of mass brainwashing run by these organizations directed by governments, using the massive powers of propaganda and censorship and education and media.
But some of us have escaped their control. Is Kirk’s murder seen as an opportunity to reestablish that control? I wonder that when I see Wiles isolating and controlling Trump. Even more so when I see the ultimate end game of Obama’s Covid games, total social control of the people, arise anew as the profit centers, AI, for Trump’s and Musk’s financial backers.
Think about this. Musk almost bankrupted himself to end government driven propaganda and censorship on Twitter. But he has never reprogrammed X to remove all those computationally intensive censorship tools. And he is right there with his backer to profit from selling AI to government for control of the people.
BTW, when you have something like 10 unarmed black men dying in the hands of police every year, you don’t have to have a conspiracy to make Floyd’s death happen. You just have to wait a month. But you have to be prepared to control and bury the truth while spreading your lies in order to turn a dirtbag into a Saint, and you have to be prepared to orchestrate riots based on those lies to take down Trump.
As we watched, Obama spent years developing the organizations to do everything it took to make a dirtbag into a martyr. America suffered from Obama failure after Obama failure, Obama riot after Obama riot, from Trayvon, through gentle giant, through Freddie Gray, but then they were able to control everything in the killing of Walter Scott and put an officer in jail, and suddenly the riots and the suffering all stopped. And magically resumed in 2020.
Next they raised Antifa to fight Trump getting elected. Antifa also went quiet. They combined Antifa and BLM in 2020 to remove Trump. Covid and riots and cheating the vote and LAWFARE to destroy afterwards.
Since this trans brainwashing is culminating in masses of murders, the bad guys only have to wait and be prepared for the inevitable opportunity. But these won’t be the same bad guys. The Obama bad guys are still trying to destroy the country, to use things like this to tear us apart. You can still see some of this in the media. We definitely see it in all the dirtbags gloating. And in all the swarms of evil bugs swarming under the these rocks too.
You are suggesting bad guys in the Trump administration. Starting the process to push control over the people. We already know Bondi did evil for the Obama cause with Trayvon. And she is the one using Kirk’s murder to push control over speech. And that fits in with Ellison pushing government control via AI for his profit.
But we don’t yet know if more of the admin is committed to this. Will Bondi’s hate speech controls be tried again and again until they work, like Obama’s riots? Or will it be shut down?
But the financial backers and the control system over Trump are in place. On the other hand, Presidents frequently change the control systems they put in place. So we shall see.
Excellent post.
There is distraction on plenty:
Think of the timing…it had just come out that unvaccinated children have fewer health problems than vaccinated. Think of the problem for them when the general populace understands they have been slowly poisoning us with these f-ing vaccines!
Then they assassinate Charlie…
And RFK announcements still to come.
Who could have seen that coming?
I digress…
Yes.👍👏
The talk about shutting down Discord and other
platforms comes straight out of Democrats/Liberals/Left Wing …
Socialists playbook ( communism 101).
The thought that shutting them down…and then life will be all
unicorns and fairy 🧚 dust. 🙄🙄
Latest example……
There were no cell phones, internet, computers and tech
during the 60-70’s.
👩🏫👩🏫And history shows all the assassinations starting
with JFK. The riots and marches, bombings even in
our Capitol in DC, the kidnappings, burning of cities…
And all of that was done….without modern technology .
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
Doug Wilson, “Dont Take the Bait”
We need to reduce the size of government by not seeking help from the government.
This is what our free market is about.
If you see a problem, then open a business to solve it, see it as opportunity.
Do not go running to the government asking for help.
Locally, if your government is doing more than filling the potholes, they are doing too much.
Its We The People that are supposed to do the work of running the country, not the government.
It is what it is because we all look to government solutions for the problems that the worshipers of BIG GOVERNMENT Create.
They throw a fit for attention every single time and we do exactly what they want every time just to shut them up- we grow government !!
Yes, see this and don’t take the bait.
Doug Wilson; “Don’t Take the Bait”

Succinct summary and on point. Very much worth printing. Can be placed on one page as a longer term reminder.
To me it’s pathetic that that he has to state this to overcome the larger media narrative.
Excellent 👍
Kash Patel squirming… He really must go.
Thought the same….looks like it was “hard” for him to be honest. But he is not suppose to be political is what Kash would say.
Look at the JP Media article in Patal written today…might change your tune a bit. Totally opposite of your thinking. Believe the writer ‘s name is Manney.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/09/journalist-andy-ngo-i-hope-that-its-been/
Mr. Ngo has been reporting in the midst of this government orchestrated violence for years. He has suffered severe head injuries. 🤕 Still, he places himself in harm”s way to expose truth. 🔦
I hope folks are tracking allegations of connections the U.N. & state department may have to current radicalized groups exposed 🔎 after the murder of Charlie Kirk.
The curtain has been drawn aside. 🪟 Patel stated during his Senate grilling that there are a multitude of online sites and groups under investigation. 💻
Those billionaire sources of 💰that are funding this terrorist enterprise– both domesticate and foreign — must be exposed, shut down and prosecuted. The sites (and apps) must be removed. 👹💀
Vast numbers of citizens are being hypnotized by the propaganda. The ultimate goal is to divide and destroy. The programming is not merely focused on the entrapment of a group of disconnected young boys/men. 😡🤯🤢
As we all could see with the hundreds, if not thousands, of vile online comments celebrating Charlie’s murder — this vicious terror campaign has permeated all levels of our society. 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Would my former fellow educators and administrators celebrate in my death if they were aware of my political beliefs? Would the cashier’s smile at the market turn to a snarl if I wore a MAGA T-shirt? Would my doctor harm me? 🗡️
These questions haunt me. They have both silenced my words, and dictated my careful actions since 2016.
That was the first year our school’s humanities (social studies) classes did not hold a mock election 🗳️ during a presidential election.
Politics had become so divisive, so toxic, that teachers could not allow students to discuss or debate. They were denied the freedom to participate in the most important process for citizens. 🗽
(* In all my decades of teaching- I NEVER promoted, or revealed, my own political beliefs.) 🤐
Teachers hold such positions of power and persuasion in students’ lives. This is a true consequence whether intentional or unintentional. 🍎 📏
There are sources (inside and outside of our government) funding billions to create and perpetuate this poisonous manipulation and mind control. It has permeated our entire society. 👿
The revelation of the massive number of highly-educated people, equally glorifying and endorsing murder, was soul shattering for me. 😢
Are we truly living in the most recent adaptation of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers?”
🧟♂️🧟🧟♀️
I want to scream,
“Wake up, people!”😱
We are the UNITED
States of America! 🇺🇲
Wake up to the manipulation that has divided us!
Let’s mend this! 🙏✝️
I don’t really know why you don’t have 100 “likes”. I’m not a teacher and never have been but unfortunately there are many who are teaching our children their own personal beliefs instead of common sense and not sticking to a real education.
However our voices have been silenced with threats and fearsome retaliation. I even fear offering an opinion here on CTH since I don’t want to be treated like a common criminal through yesterday’s latest revelation about the Frost stuff.
BTW, I never saw that information before yesterday because there were times I didn’t have access to the internet or CTH.
Where did MY country go?
Lorrie….
Agree with everything —-but shutting down sites and apps.
Expose them…warn about them
Shutting down…nope.
Slippery slope towards us becoming like UK/EU…and “speech laws”
👩🏫👩🏫 History is Important👩🏫👩🏫
There was no technology…no internet or cell phones..no Facebook
or Social Media during one of the most recent 💥💥periods of our🇺🇸history!
The 60s and 70s!💥💥 During that time…
violence, protests, assassinations, bombings, kidnappings, cults,
riots and burning of cities….the protest marches! 💥💥
Shutting down sites and apps ..monitoring speech will accomplish…nothing.
Like minded…whether good or evil…will always find a way to gather.🤷♀️
🤔I believe it is part of the independent spirit of 🇺🇸🇺🇸 from our beginnings..
Green Dragon Tavern….and why Free Speech is our First Amendment.
Free Speech
is
Free Speech
With what was being uncovered in documents Tulsi has combed and will comb through……DS was/is in need of a really big issue to divert attention to.
Think of the time that will be invested by the FBI and DOJ into these online groups and their associates. Coupled with CK’s death, this will dominate the news as well.
The last decade has been so Tumultuous that it is hard to keep track of the crimes perpetuated by the DS. But if we would stay focused on indicting and prosecuting members of the deep state and it’s donors, then all of this would come to a stop.
Andy Ngo worth following. He’s covered Antifa since the covid yrs protests-now lives in London due to Antifa violence toward him and his family.. Ngo Comment on Substack.
🎯
Bloodlust.
Excellent descriptor.
As is Democrat Medial Industrial Complex.
Media.
(comment pre-coffee).
@Bill, this one is for you. Hope you are healing from your grief over our loss of Charlie. I thought you might benefit from this sermon (starts at 40 min mark) on the Holy Spirit’s role as “The Healer of our Soul”
This is why the FBI cannot be fixed and must be dismantled. The functions can be spread between existing federal laws enforcement agencies…
Before A Left-Wing Assassin Murdered Charlie Kirk, Chris Wray’s FBI Tried To Destroy Turning Point USA
https://thefederalist.com/2025/09/16/before-a-left-wing-assassin-murdered-charlie-kirk-chris-wrays-fbi-tried-to-destroy-turning-point-usa/
Kash and Dan can’t figure this as obvious as obvious can possibly get fact .
Sure…..
Well, Grassley keeps handing it to them, wrapped in a bow, and on a silver platter.
Some assert Kash is orchestrating Grassley to release it. But Kash doesn’t clean any of it up.
Just as a reminder. Republicans used investigations to release info about Obama’s evil government actions. Made hay out of it, winning the Senate and the Presidency. But always hid behind their powerlessness to change anything as a reason to give them the power. Then they didn’t fix anything while holding power.
Once again, Republicans have the power. Obama’s evil metastasized into Biden’s evil and there are many horrible things that need airing and fixing. Yet very little gets fixed.
Sessions had his recusal as an excuse to not fix anything and hid himself in crime fighting.
Kash has no such excuse to not fix the FBI. Yet he too hides in crime fighting stats.
Repeal Citizen’s United.
The corporate money take over of America.
They bought them all.
and lets get rid of the lobbyist.
Kash won’t fix it because he is absolutely convinced the FBI staff are “good guys with bad management”.
What is absolutely necessary to clean up an agency is to have the mindset that a significant plurality are indeed bad apples that need purging, while watching intently for the same corrupt rot showing up in the rest.
As long as Kash maintains his current perspective that the FBI are a bunch of “good guys that were only under bad management”, the rot remains in place.
Let’s see what happens while he investigates these chat groups and runs into FBI participation.
Can’t, won’t or aren’t allowed?
We can get it defunded, but you may as well say “In Theory”.
They know.
I don’t think the issue is they won’t stop it.
My fear is that they CAN’T stop it.
And then you ask how many are still in the FBI and actually working on the case. Seems they like to volunteer where they can hurt most.
Before A Left-Wing Assassin Murdered Charlie Kirk, Chris Wray’s FBI Tried To Destroy Turning Point USA

This gets back to SD’s comments on : the FBI exists to preserve government, not the people. If that means investigating those that are galvanizing youth, those creating movements that will one day threaten the deep state, then those efforts must be eliminated before they become threats.
Tea Party, Trump, MAGA, Turning Point.
These efforts threaten those politicians who hold kingship over the conservative movements. It’s not surprising the FBI should move to infiltrate and neuter these threats.
Now that we know, what can we do?
Using our laws and traditions against us.

CRIMINAL: Senator Chuck Grassley Reveals Biden’s FBI Put Together Project to Go After Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA and 91 Other Republican Targets (VIDEO)

🚨 BREAKING: Four people arrested after images were projected on Windsor Castle of President Trump with Jeffrey Epstein ahead of his visit to the United Kingdom. They also projected other images, such as his mugshot from 2023.
Video linked…
In the four years of “Let’s Go Brandon” failure, not once did the most over zealous prosecutors brought up Epstein to throw on President Trump — not once and the Left was in full control.
That says alot if the best that Brandon could throw were Business issues in New York.
Also the Mugshot is something the Left could never understand, it wasn’t a Scarlett Letter, it was Mark of DEFIANCE against the Leftist Hordes. It was Pres. Trump declaring to the Left “This is the best you can do, and all you can do is fail!”
Trump ran on the explicit promise of releasing the files. That hasn’t been done. Instead we got a lot of performative theater (including props) by his AG, and thorough review of the files to see if his name was in there, and no release. And his party voted not to release them.
This is an own goal.
So, all you care about is Epstein then, eh?
Got it.
/s
Hardly. I’m not particularly interested in Epstein at all. And whatever does come out at this point is going to forever have a cloud of doubt over it anyway. We will never know what happened.
But that doesn’t change the fact that the administration gave themselves a black eye with this, and bowed their heads for the Left to hang Epstein (no pun intended) around the neck of Donald Trump. Do I lose sleep about Jeffrey Epstein? No. Do I care when Republicans live up to their “Party of Stupid” label? Yes.
Kash was asked about files today . He testified that they have released all files and tapes with the exception of downloaded porn. They were not withholding anything associated with PT. They could not gain access to the files under court seal. Now which files are you talking about?
Oh, yay, the UK continues its descent to a dystopian autocratic state by arresting people for speech the government does not approve of. Why not just release their names and let their neighbors and employers decide if this is appropriate behavior?
Nobody was harmed, no actual crime committed. And it’s one of those political attacks that backfires because most politicians have a photo of themselves with Jeffrey Epstein. So by attacking Trump, they’re fragging their allies as well.
This is so stupid, to try and connect Trump to Epstein in this way simply because a 20+ year old picture of the two of them exists.
Donald Trump was pretty friendly with the Clintons at one time too- they both lived in New Yawk and traveled in the same circles that the rich people move in –so does this mean that Donald Trump was into the same things they were?
Good grief… *eyeroll*
Descended From Ukrainian Nazis Who Fled to Canada, Minister Chrystia Freeland Leaves Carney Cabinet for a Job as ‘Special Representative for Ukraine’
Canada’s Minister of Transport (and former Deputy Prime Minister to Justin Trudeaux), Chrystia Freeland has left the cabinet, and will now serve as Special Envoy for the reconstruction of Ukraine, focusing on the cause that critics suggest is the one dear to her heart – NOT the people of Canada.
There’s a reason for it: Freeland is reportedly descended from Ukrainian Nazis who fled to Canada.

I have always taken issue with the term “hate speech”. It is not a thing, and we best not adopt it. There is free speech, and there is not. There is a difference between saying things that one may find objectionable, and another to use ones power and control to call people to violent action. There is a difference between free speech that may include things deemed “hateful” and Rwanda Radio. There is a difference when somebody voices opinion, no matter how distasteful, and external forces using funds and organizations to foment civil unrest for political power.
The focus needs to be on the institutions and instruments that seek to usurp the will of the people under the guise of freedom of expression. The leftists are pivoting on this distinction. “Hate speech” is leftist terminology, a machavalin invention. It doesn’t help when people on our side invoke it.
“Hate speech” didn’t endanger Trump and it didn’t assissinate Charlie. Don’t agree to their terms, don’t agree with their rules, don’t play their game.
TA, thanks, I agree.
The term ‘hate speech’ is one way the Left demonizes freedoms guaranteed by the constitution and gets people ostracized, or worse, for exercising those freedoms.
Every time someone uses this term as a rhetorical weapon, they need to be ridiculed without mercy.
Do not accept their premise.
Thank you. The terms “Hate” speech and “Dis”information go hand in hand. Both are intentionally used to criminalize our rights to free speech and a free press.
Discerning American citizens are free to accept or to reject what we see and what we hear. Nobody needs totalitarians to run interference for us.
I agree with you about most of this. But defamatory speech DID assassinate Kirk. Make no mistake about it. This is the end result of 10 years of “nazi” “racist” “bigot”etc smears by the MAINSTREAM DEMOCRAT PARTY. Bondi is a dolt and Trump needs to fire her. Yesterday. But we have got to do something about slander and libel committed by politicians, public figures, and social media platforms.
We’re running out of options fast, and they’re not going to stop shooting at us.
I doubt PDJT will fire bondi. For some odd reason, he continues to heap praise on her. I don’t understand why he continues to do this.
He has a long history of surrounding himself with ineffective and sometimes nefarious underlings. Apparently it’s something he hasn’t learned from his first term.
Donald Trump is a really nice man, he always has been.
AND he does not necessarily look at every one and every thing through a political lens.
This is good sometimes and then not good sometimes..
The other thing is that if he hires you to do the job, he simply expects that you are doing as he’s instructed and that is in the private sector, it’s not how government works necessarily.
He’s learned a lot of this but here we are.
That he’s so nice and trusts and has faith in people comes back to bite him sometimes and then us by extension.
Plus he is about 1/2 isolated by the people who advise him every single day. He is focused on preventing WW3 and fixing the Economy hoping that those 2 achievements will force other problems to be more easily resolved.
Well PT should be paying attention to what Bondi is doing because getting rid of the DS is a major deal. PT has set Bondi on a couple of major task one was announced at his speech at the DOJ when first got into the WH…..so far nothing. Personally I think he has a timeline in his head and if she does not show work product then she is gone. The way it looks politically also comes into play. Nice? I hope not.
If his “messages” to the White House were slammed with…..Fire Bondi…..Maybe?
There will never be righteousness until salvation. Trump is still in the worldly flesh. We must pray for his salvation. Only then will he see Truth for what it is and become steadfast for ALL OF IT. The good news is in those around him as of late. From Tulsu to Vance to Hegseth to Miller to now even Kennedy. We are witnessing Gods wisdom play out in their actions and words.
Proverbs 11:14
“Where there is no guidance the people fall, But in abundance of counselors there is victory.”
Harmeet had to do mop up work for Bondi.
True, but you attack it from a criminal conspiracy angle. Investigate the charities and NGOs and billionaires that fund the conspiracy.
But for Bondi, that takes too much work and will imprison too many of her friends. Bondi needs to be gone. The only people that like are the deep state sewer and PDJT… which is alarming.
Who does Scammy Jo work for? Wiles? Who does Wiles work for? Bibi? I don’t get Pres Trumps blind spot here …
We will ultimately have fewer options if we allow the murder of Charlie Kirk to impose restrictions on free speech. Remember the 1st Amendment prohibits government restriction of speech – – “Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech”.
We do not want a Judge Boasberg , an A G Garland or a Biden administration interpreting what we are allowed to say. We must keep that “option” for the people.
The post 9 / 11 “Patriot Act” is one example of remedial legislation that empowered and allows government usurpations and abuse.
Freedom of speech should not include the freedom to broadcast a defamatory lie. Full stop.
So we let the government silence us ? I believe it was Thomas Jefferson who wrote that “timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous open seas of liberty”.
WRONG….if someone called CK a misogynist… which is defamatory….based on CK’s statements of “wives must submit to their husbands”….that would be that persons opinion. To you it is a lie. We both don’t like what this person said about CK and we know CK was quoting the Bible but we can not take away the right of that person to express their opinion.
Defamatory speech DID ??? NO a Person assassinated Kirk. A person whose name is Tyler Robinson decided to take his gun and use it to kill Charlie. It’s like the Guns kill people argument…so get rid of the guns. Speech that incites violence can be against the law. Did the person or persons defaming Kirk ex. He is a racist, bigot, etc. want to invoke violence?
Advocation and approval of murder seems pretty hateful to me.
It is, but the government has no real place codifying types of speech or legislating what we can and can’t say.
A court can make a decision about incitement on a circumstantial basis, not on a generic basis.
It is illegal to advocate for a murder of a person(s) regardless if the individual is involved in solicitation of the actual crime.
We have the right to be wrong.
This isn’t that hard.
There are words and then there are actions.
Instead of hateful ,why not incitement or advocating for unlawful behavior.
The first thing we need to do to take back our language is stop using theirs.
Instead of going after “Hate Speech” I would have preferred Bondi say they were going after “calls for violence.”
Hate speech is anything those in power don’t like, even if entirely peaceful.
Calls to violence are deliberate actions seeking to encourage criminal acts.
“Hate speech”, with its religious corollaries, “blasphemy” and “heresy”, are used to control people and limit the free exchange of ideas with mature, civilized discussion. Ideas may be distasteful, even repulsive, but that does not mean they should never be discussed in pursuance of truth and mature dialogue.
The very definitions of these words are meant more to dehumanize and devalue other people, then destroy any thoughtful discussion. These neither uplift nor educate society to become better. The definitions of these terms can be word-smithyed to mean whatever those in power want them to mean.

Medium length but worth the read. British commentators, dispassionately laying out a solid intellectual argument of how we got here.
For those readers who are longing to understand the hatred in this country, what it means, and how it was created.
President Trump is on the right track targeting the likes of Sorass.
I have passed this link on to a lot of people.
I’m able to find some peace despite the evil that is around us all…..the peace (and power) of Christ.
Echo the words of SD – live your best life.
IMHO, that is impossible under current circumstances unless you completely withdraw and bury your head in the sand. Now if you have family you can withdraw into and focus on them, that’s wonderful. I’m alone so I don’t have that….not even a circle of friends that I can withdraw into. That is what CTH WAS for me.

Vengeance vs Justice
By Lex Greene
September 17, 2025
They say God will use even bad things for good and his will. I believe this is true. In fact, I have witnessed it in life and I’m witnessing it again right now, and so are you.
The assassination of Charlie Kirk sparked a global revival in faith and true patriotism, like nothing else has in the past hundred or more years.
People have had all kinds of reactions to the event, from extreme anti-American leftists celebrating the final cancellation of a peaceful man, husband, and father, for the Christian culture they disagreed with, to heartfelt prayers for Charlie and his beautiful family, vigils held all across the USA and around the globe, to those full of anger and ready to stand up against this evil that has infected our beloved land.
This is a battle between GOOD and EVIL. Make no mistake about it.
Even I have had to take some time to live with the reality of what happened on September 10, 2025, to get my anger under control and my thoughts in order. I had to spend some time in the good book to sort it all out. Hopefully, this will help others.

We need to reinstitute the 1870’s Civil Rights act. Need to put this into each state’s constitution. If this were enforced, you would solve 50 percent of the problems in this country. It puts citizenship above immigrants in plain English. Either you are a nation state or you are not. Can’t have it both ways. Here are its key provisions:
If Trump were serious about starting to fix our problems he would force Speaker Johnson to reimplement this. Step number 2 would be to REVISE the Smith-Mundt Act and Its Relation to Media and Propaganda
to stop the media from lying to the American people. But our republican friends are not stopping this. WHY IS THIS?
Because they hate Trump more than they love this country, and they love their money.
Actually, I don’t think they don’t love our country that much either.
I would also bring back the Fairness Doctrine, without question.
The reason we had Rush Limbaugh and all his successors was because of he fairness doctrine was repealed.
“In 1987, under the Reagan administration, the FCC voted to repeal the Fairness Doctrine. This decision was rooted in the belief that the media landscape had evolved, particularly with the advent of cable television, which provided a multitude of viewpoints. The repeal was seen as a move to enhance free speech and reduce government regulation of the media”
Just saying it’s a two edged sword.
We had Rush before we had deregulation. Trying to overcome him was one of the reasons deregulation was passed.
I worked in radio pre and post regulation. Things went seriously downhill after deregulation was passed. Seriously downhill.
Strong, well presented ideas were able to be brought on air before deregulation. Rush was the perfect example. He was a lot like Charlie Kirk, and made a lot of people very uncomfortable because he couldn’t be overcome with debate.
After deregulation all balance went away and things became totally divided: left or right. Equal time became a thing of the past. Ideology became the central and exclusive determinant of who was on whose air waves.
Professionalism and ethical conduct disappeared. Shrill and hateful voices took their place.
And they still couldn’t stop Rush. It only drove division, and led to the loss of independent broadcasters, resulting in the dominance of the few conglomerates that control the media today.
No, we should LET THEM SPEAK. Paraphrasing the late great Rush Limbaugh, “If you want to make a Democrat fly into a rage, ACCURATELY QUOTE THEM.” He was dead against the fairness doctrine and for good reason.
Alternative media, more choices, and simply pointing out to people when they’re being lied to is the best weapon we have. That’s why the left and the government tried desperately to ban us all from social media in 2020-2024.
As noted by Mrs. Sunshine – the Fairness Doctrine’s repeal is what brought “fairness” back into the media discourse.
Tyrannical law goes by appealing euphemisms – the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” was anything BUT fair to dissenting political viewpoints opposing the media collective.

Charlie Kirk’s Producer Debunks Candace Owens’s Anti-Israel Conspiracy Theory
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/charlie-kirk-producer-debunks-candace-153057658.html
Good luck with that. There’s a subculture that WANTS it to be true. And no amount of video evidence, statements by the family, or text messages by the murderer will dissuade them from their righteous cause.
My personal favorite is how a lot of them jumped to the conclusion that this was a deep state hit on CK. And every day that this isn’t the conclusion is another day they cry “cover-up!” At some point, some EVIDENCE from the peanut gallery would be nice.
That subculture is no different in mentality to our political Left – a subset of society that wants a particular set of views, thoughts, and teachings to be true, no matter WHAT kind of evidence may be laid in front of them.
And, the unpopular and inconvenient truth be said…a significant plurality of groups of people accepted as “normal” proceed on this very basis.
So the fact that Grassley has evidence that some in the FBI were commissioned to go after Turning point USA does not give you pause? Were FBI somehow involved in those chats groups connected to talk of the assassination before it happened …Chat groups that have been linked to funding by the State Department, UN, NGO’s. You know the same FBI that inserted themselves into J6 and the kidnapping of Whitmere. Same FBI that knew beforehand many of those mass shooters. Same FBI that knew that doctor was sexually abusing gymnast and did nothing, those deep state participants? Nah….they would never

I’m not going to say who because they asked me not to, but a high level TPUSA official told me in an emotional phone call that TPUSA has asked those who are pushing the lie that Israel killed Charlie Kirk to stop, and they won’t stop.
Cont…
According to this article the executive producer of the Charlie Kirk show and Bill Ackman are debunking the Israel connection, saying that it’s completely false.
https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/charlie-kirks-pastor-rebukes-candace-owens-for-haunting-kirk-family-with-conspiracy-theories/
The death of Mr. Kirk has left a void and those who deem themselves ‘influencers’, the Carlson’s, Owen’s, Shapiro’s of the world and their ilk, are doing all they can to claim themselves as heir and if it takes twisting and turning everything Mr. Kirk stood for – dialogue – in order to claim their supposed title, that is what they will do.
Not only do they have no shame, or conscience, those people can’t even wait until the man is buried to pull their stunts, as they know they can say whatever they want, push whatever agenda they want, and Charlie Kirk is not here to put them straight.
Spot on, sister.
It’s truly despicable.

Tucker doesn’t mention Netanyahu by name, it is assumed. It is also likely. However, I didn’t really see an issue with Netanyahu’s letter.

Tucker Carlson Bashes Netanyahu to JD Vance Over ‘Disgusting’ Tribute to Charlie Kirk
https://www.newsbreak.com/mediaite-520570/4236048035556-tucker-carlson-bashes-netanyahu-to-jd-vance-over-disgusting-tribute-to-charlie-kirk
I don’t have any problem with the way Tucker and Megyn talk about Charlie’s concerns about how Israel has handled some things with the war (he has done that from the very beginning while still strongly supporting Israel) nor do I have any issues with them talking about their experience with pressure from Israel funders, etc. Charlie, himself, has talked about that recently.
I think Candace Owens takes it too far with inferring Israel may have had a hand in the assassination, and other accusations on specific people. I haven’t seen any actual proof of those things.
Both things can be true.
1). Charlie had disagreements with how Israel handled their war, has received extreme pressure from Israel funders, and
2) Israel wasn’t involved in Charloe’s assassination.
I will say though. I think it best to watch how TPUSA and Erika handle all of this.
And, it doesn’t go unnoticed that if Erika had any problems with anything Tucker has been saying….he would not have been invited to speak at the upcoming Memorial service. So, there is that.
Candace is the problem here I think. She and Charlie split over this issue and although remained friends their philosophies on Israel caused a rift. She needs to prove what she’s saying if she’s going to continue down this path. Not helpful at all to just say things incendiary without the receipts as Bannon would say.
All the folks close to Charlie looked like they saw a ghost since his Assassination. Tucker, Candace, Harrison Smith etc. Mrs. Kirk also. Anyone who was privy to the “aggressive” messages on Charlie’s phones from his Handlers have “the look”.. the “there’s nothing to see here, move along” hard sell from the Usual Suspects is interesting to watch.
Max Blumenthal laid out a compelling narrative on InfoWars yesterday explaining his interview from the Grayzone.
I think Max Blumenthal and Grayzone may both have a credibility problem though.
That’s why I say to watch what TPUSA and Erika Kirk do or say about all of this.
Candace Owens is an embarrassment.
And THAT is putting it mildly.
She needs to shut her mouth and sit down.
Here is the thing, everything is very complex.
I’m a huge Trump supporter and yet he does a whole lot that pisses me off- but I’m not the only one that matters here!
He does need to make other people with other views happy. The guy that makes weapons has a business every bit as valid as the guy that bakes cakes- everyone wants what they need to do their thing.
I get this and I still support him even though I’m not happy all the time.
You can be supporter of Israel and still question what they are doing, we do the same exact thing with the US support of Ukraine- which so many of us were opposed to it on day one.
People have strong feelings about war- period.
And that is anyone conducting war- including ourselves.
I have a BIG problem with ANYONE but Charlie’s widow, co-workers and closest friends presuming to speak for him.
It’s not ethical. It’s self serving and whorish.
MAJOR NEWS – GERMANY
MyLordBebo
@MyLordBebo
🇩🇪 “German companies announced 125,000 industrial job cuts just in 6 weeks.
“-> That’s like 520,000 job cuts in the US, if you scale by population.
“It’s insane. The de-industrialization is extremely quick.
“The German government does nothing about it.”
********
Colonel Douglass MacGregor has been warning about this for at least two years, and how it interfaces w the working class and millions of new immigrants. Less jobs, more dependents. On top of this, much of Europe previously abandoned Green nuclear power, and VW has shut down some production in Germany (high and unreliable energy sources a major factor). Big budgetary problems across all EU countries.
The USA should offer a special manufacturing visa for skilled workers under 50, or 45, like machinists and such, where we have growing needs.
The German automaker sector is really going through some rough times. Volkswagen laid off 35,000 recently. Then you have all the suppliers joining in.
I worked 10 years at the Westmoreland County VW plant! (Welder Maintenance)
(1978-1988)
Germany spent all of it tax dollars putting up windmills and burning lignite which isn’t even coal.
Let’s put US citizens to work first.
Yes but most American college students are getting useless degrees and go to college for the social experience. Meanwhile the engineering classes are full of Asian and Indian students.
College defrees arent necessary for every skilled job in existence for starters.
We have plenty of displaced, skilled workers. We dont need to import truck drivers either.
Meh. Dont let this narrative fool you. There are plenty of American engineering students, very capable ones, out there getting degrees.
Agreed. The real issue was the college applications process, incentivized by federal programs rejecting admissions for American students, while giving preference to foreign students, many of whom didn’t even speak English!
I saw this happening in real time and couldn’t believe my eyes.
“For the social experience”
This is because our schools have been turned into obscenely expensive babysitting services where the value of your ‘social experience’ is overly valued.. and on our dime.
We did that after WW2. It was called operation paper clip.
Let the German workers live with the country they built. If they leave, nobody will be left to make it great again.
The US is more than just an economy.
Thank you. The Bosch have brought it upon themselves by electing anti-human, anti-European native rulers.
Let them figure it out.
I really don’t have any empathy for what the Germans are going through right now.
If they really want to demonstrate political will, they can start by removing the latter day Nazi, von der Pfizer and Blackrock Merz and withdrawing from the European Union.
I’ve always appreciated German Engineering. I considered theirs the benchmark by which all other products were judged. The loss of German technical prowess hurts all of us.
Here’s a good read to add to that:
https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/germanys-shadow-budgets-bundesbank-warns-fiscal-collapse
Germany is 25% of the EU economy. If Germany fails how are they going to prosecute a war against Russia, through Ukraine?
Well, Germany has to man its new upscaled army somehow.
Take away their careers, give them no replacement, then start their beloved war against that hated Russia.
The unemployed simply become fodder for the war meat-grinder.

The ‘Armed Queers of Salt Lake City’ is a marxist paramilitary group being investigated by federal authorities in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s left-wing political assassination.
This radical group immediately deleted their social media in the aftermath of Charlie’s murder.
However, all data was captured by investigators and it’s very concerning.
A federal law enforcement source told me directly that the group “Deserves classification as a domestic terrorist organization”
The logo of ‘Armed Queers’ features the same caliber bullet that struck Charlie engraved with leftist messaging, just as Charlie’s was
In a now deleted video, the leaders of the Armed Queers of Salt Lake City brag about a trip to communist Cuba in May of 2025 where they trained with militant marxists to stage a “revolution in America” when they returned home.
The Marxist leaders they met with bragged about being labeled “terrorists” by the United States
The leaders of ‘Armed Queers’ refer to America as the “Belly of the Beast” in the video. The group has openly coordinated with the Cuban government in various venues and events.
Meet the leader of the Armed Queers of Salt Lake Ciry; Ermiya Fanaeian.
She is an Iranian immigrant and self-identified communist who has been honored by the US State Department, United Nations and his ties to NGO Utah Global Diplomacy.
Utah Global Diplomacy has wiped all of her mentions on their pages.
Authorities are now looking into Armed Queers SLC’s ties to Charlie Kirk’s assassination

MAJOR BREAKING 2:
The 2025 May Day trip of SLC Armed Queers to Cuba:
“Well, if we’re terrorists, we’re proud to be terrorists”
I’ve obtained a now-deleted video.
In it, Ermiya Fanaeian and an unidentified man named Connor talk openly about:
Palestinian students at Cuba’s ELAM “studying revolution” alongside medicine
Brigadistas from around the world being brought for “revolutionary orientation”
How every aspect of Cuban society is dedicated to training “organizers” and are open about the terrorist label to the point they lament US institutions do not allow them to “to speak in such a way”
The trip was run through the National Network on Cuba (NNOC), linked to the Cuban state, with has U.S. NGOs as members, many of whom are linked to Neville Singham NGOs.
SLC Armed Queers is currently under federal investigation for advanced knowledge of the Charlie Kirk assassination.
And remember: Fanaeian was honored by Utah Global Diplomacy, a State Dept–connected NGO.
These are the people who are handpicked to run our state department.

The BLM women went to Cuba too.
I haven’t seen anything happen to them yet.
It’s easy to talk smack when you are surrounded by fellow travelers.
It’s talk.
Convenient, this..
Gee willikers all of that going on and the FIB knew nothing about them and they weren’t on its radar, under investigation or infiltrated.
Too busy concentrating on us?
Call the FBI ? I would bet the house many in the FBI are active members . It needs to be heavily purged and add the DOJ and State Dept also . The enemy is within these agencies .
Or helping fund this lunacy at the very minimum.
Yes, do call the FBI.
Kash is right on it….if he picks up in Las Vegas, that is.
Is that the group that Karen Bass went to Cuba with? I read somewhere that she went with some group Cuba but I don’t know if it was that one?
How best buddies are Schumer,Schiff,Nadler,Cohen etc with the “anti-semites” in Congress and Democrat party like Omar, Talib, etc? Meanwhile PDJT has done more for Israel and the Jewish people and yet gets attacked by the before mentioned continuously. Has anyone ever heard of any fistfights in Congress between the Democrat Anti-Semites and the Democrat “Semites”? You would think there would be as well as fights between the lobbies. Only allot of theater on the Operation Mockingbird run propaganda outlets.

More Shameful Lies About Charlie Kirk Go Supernova
A leftist on MSNBC lacks the wit to grasp that he is stepping in his own mess by identifying a website “Charlie’s Murderers” as a place to call out and seek attention for the vile hate mongers. Not exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. (at around 10:00 – 10:30)
The Council On Foreign Relations which “manages” Operation Mockingbird for the CIA needs to be removed from Media management and the CIA agents removed as well. Here is your real conspiracy of the media. CFR.org a genuine “fascist” organization, government,corporations,media all together and coordinating in an organization that runs much of government. This is an essential part of the Deep State.
Council on Foreign Relations
Council of Foreign Relations.
“The Council on Foreign Relations grew out of the round table groups and began as a gathering of scholars known as the Inquiry which included the power behind FDR’s throne and author of Philip Dru: Administrator, Colonel House and Walter Lippmann.
This group attended the Paris Peace Conference where powerful members of the elite attended a private gathering at the Majestic Hotel. Round Table member Lionel Curtis suggested the creation a Royal Institute for International Affair in London and the Council of Foreign Relations, its US counterpart in New York. The CFR was officially founded in 1921.
It is one of the most powerful private organizations and has a major influence on U.S. foreign policy. Its equally powerful British sister organization, the Royal Institute of International Affairs has been renamed Chatham House. Today the CFR has over 3000 members.
The group suggested the formation of a League of Nation. Five of the 6 men of the “Agenda Group” which drafted the United States proposal for a United Nations were members of the CFR. Carol Quigley called its members the “international financial coterie” The CFR was instrumental in planning the post World War 2 economic and political world order.”
(A very key point such as Sykes-Picot and for UK Masons to be in charge of Palestine and removal of the Ottomans)
What will Fox News do if they are actually forced to tell the Truth? Would their brand be watchable again?…. …Nah!
You are on fire today! Agree.
Cheers, FS! The methylene blue and the fish oil kicked in early..
As one owie to another: there is no life without fish oil.
Fox is less problematic then the others. I would focus on msnbc, cnn, abc, cbs and nbc first.
Fox warps the minds of about a quarter of MAGA and is sold as Official Mouthpiece of the Administration…. Their contributions to this Administration have left much to be desired in my mind.
A dear elderly friend of mine who is MAGA and very conservative gets all his news from Faux News. I shocked him the other day when I said the FBLie were pretty much all crooks and terrorist enablers. He said he was actually devastated that the one last agency he had trust in was so corrupt. Bet a significant proportion of the non-Internet using elderly are of the same trusting attitude towards that agency.
He believed you? That was his problem. Fox is full of Democrats and Trump haters but is still better than other major networks.
Please give MAGA credit for having a bullshit filter.
It’s not watchable now.
If you think Fox is the biggest problem, you are delusional.
The majority of viewers of the Enemedia are Conservatives looking for material to make.fun of on various webpages and podcasts..

‘Why dost thou glory in malice, * thou that art mighty in iniquity?
51:4 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: * as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
51:5 Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: * and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
51:6 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, * O deceitful tongue.” from Psalm 51 today’s Prime Divine Office
Point of order. Order in time that is.
The league of Nations was created in 1920. By the Paris Peace Conference that happened after WW1 ended. As you say, the CFR was founded in 1921.
There is language you included that makes it seem that CFR created the League of Nations. That is what struck out, saying a 1921 group created a 1920 thing.
The word group is used like a pronoun and by grammar rules must refer to the CFR since it was the subject of the preceding paragraph. But the group it refers to was the pre CFR group that Wilson sent to Paris mentioned several paragraphs before.
It makes sense, Wilson, a racist academic who segregated the federal government and helped rebuild the Klan, gathered a bunch of scholars to impose their idiocies upon the world. Sent them to Paris to screw up the Peace, and used them to push his soon to fail League of Nations, and then formalized them into a permanent influence group to keep screwing up the world, the CFR.
But to be fair, Wilson is depicted as being powerless to stop the Peace conference from screwing up the world in their greed to take over empires and colonies. But that means his group was ineffective or incompetent. So what was it about this desire of Wilson’s for a League that appealed to the greedy imperialists that he couldn’t stop?
Wilson was also powerless to get the Senate to ratify his League of Nations. How much influence did this group have over Truman who created the UN? Your contribution says 5 of 6 in the drafting proposal were from the CFR. How did they fix their failures in the Senate from the League to the UN?
The details of history are always more intriguing than the accusations of conspiracy. Real people have real influence and form groups to nurture and perpetuate that influence. But said groups become influence centers and take on a life of their own. People in power join because that is what people in power are expected to do. That dilutes the original cause, maybe even coopts it, but it increases the power and influence. It also becomes a good ole boy network of those who hold power. But they have lots of those. And the competition deflates the power of any one group.
In addition her Carbon footprint removal will lower our Globull Warming Green House Gases and protect our environment. Deportation is real environmental protection
Imagine having the sauce to break into another country and then bitch about how they run it. Good job you didn’t pick one of the South American dictatorships or you would be disappeared, not kicked out.
Not your country, either.
Nazis were Muslim allies in WWII, and the Clinton Admin, Nazi NATO, and the Nazis running most of Europe were all in on illegally bombing the Holocaust Victim Serbs in support of Nazis,Jihadists, Crime cartels who were WWII Nazi allies who also ran the Balkan death camps that the Mockingbird media tries to hide and obfuscate as much as they can. The Serbs are us. If they could do it to them they could do it to us.
JD has been reading our posts again..
Our VP looks weary, and perhaps not because he just lost a dear friend. I cannot recall any VP taking such a significant role in previous administrations. He’s advocating MAGA on a worldwide basis. Palantir aside, he has my respect. He’s definitely not a “pretending” sort of guy:)
He also never needs a script. I laugh at these Democrats in Congress yelling and screaming but reading the script, written by someone else.
“KINGDON”
LOL few things in life cause me eye tics more than typos in memes.
Are people producing memes so quickly that they don’t have time to double-check them for spelling?
Maybe it’s about PDJT supplanting Charles the Lion-brained.
King Don!
Yes–there are few things worse than stepping on a punchline, Taq.
Ask me how I no.

Mornin’ bud!
How is it Ben Shapiro takes the reins at TPUSA when Kirk’s foundation was Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation?
I asked this same question. I don’t think he’s getting the reins though. I know he said he wanted to, but that has not been decided from what I have seen.
no way will they let him take over the group
He was way to quick to declare: “We’re going to pick up that blood-stained microphone where Charlie left it.” 🤮
He’s NOT. Erika is.
She will need some help from somebody because the two lovely children will need her too. But of course, it’s HER choice.
I agree that Ben Shapiro would not be a good fit for TPUSA.
However, my take on Ben Shapiro’s words were simply that he was saying we will not be silenced by Charlie’s assassination and that free speech will continue. Not that he takes over TPUSA.
The only reason he wouldn’t be a good fit is because he talks too fast and you can hardly understand what he says. Not a huge fan but he is very smart.
It looks like Kirk’s wife is keeping the reins. Though time, and funders will have a say on that.
But Shapiro is buying influence, not taking control. Helping an important Ally survive in troubled times.
Said contradiction has long been a part of Evangelical support for Israel, and Israel’s welcoming of such support. There tend to be a lot of come and deepen your faith but don’t proselytize understandings. Nice to see them going both ways.
Ben is a friend you moron and was asked to step in.
It’s looking like Charlie’s assassination is going to be used to usher in the next ‘Patriot Act’ scam to then be used against us- called “Hate Speech”, can you see the pattern?
There is no such thing as Hate Speech, Charlie said this. He’d be pissed off right now.
We cannot allow his death to wind up being used to further enslave us !!
What they are doing is the exact opposite of what he stood for..
It’s getting critical to get Bondi out of this position, she’s working against us.
Read the X posts in this article, they are all saying “No, this isn’t what we asked for”.
We cannot allow another “Patriot Act” like to happen.
Bondi Faces Rare Conservative Rage For ‘Hate Speech’ Commentshttps://www.zerohedge.com/political/bondi-faces-rare-conservative-rage-hate-speech-comments#comment-stream
This one by Matt Walsh says it all:
https://x.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1967955017551478895
We have got to understand this game here and not fall for it.
The Left’s goal is to destroy this country brick by brick.
Their goal is a government that has complete control over us, that they themselves aim to control- to control us.
So they act out like spoiled kids throwing a fit to get attention.
They are collectively celebrating Charlie’s death to force this reaction from Bondi to ‘crack down’.
When they gain power, they’ll use all this against us, so history will show that we built our own cage.
We have got to see this strategy and not fall for it or allow it to happen, we need to tear town the progress they’ve made to this end.
See what is going on as strategy and don’t fall for it.
They have gotten where they have through Incrementalism -literally throwing one fit at a time, wrecking things to provoke government response as a solution.
We need to see this and call it out, it can’t work if we’re all totally onto it.
Stand Up and be the adults in the room !!
Correct. I could hear them telegraphing it in all their messaging yesterday. This needs to be stopped before it can start.
The Trust Quotient is rapidly evaporating with this Administration.. Chop that up how you like..
Agree. I am really concerned about Bondi floating that at all, and needing to walk it back later. Complete unforced error. I am of the opinion that Trump’s comments are just trolling to get lefties to overreact as they always do.
Running an organization is a unique skillset. Being good in front of cameras, or even having detailed technical knowledge doesn’t cut it. I don’t think Bondi knows how to run an organization.
I agree with Matt Walsh saying she has to go. Her understanding of the First Amendment is unacceptably weak. She can’t walk it back.
She spoke freely, as is her right. She put her thoughts out into the marketplace of ideas.
In the process, we learned the truth about her weak understanding of free speech, in the same way we learned about the evil murder-celebrating souls that live among us.
Freedom of speech is the very mechanism by which we learn the truth.
She just isn’t an honest person to begin with.
Bingo.
Agreed
Not just Bondi. PDJT is OK with it….
https://x.com/Acyn/status/1967951780219961681
Reporter: What do you make of Bondi saying she is going after hate speech, a lot of allies say hate speech is free speech.
Trump: Probably go after people like you, you treat me unfairly, you have hate in your heart. ABC paid me $16 million for a form of hate speech, your company paid me 16 million for a form of hate speech, maybe they’ll go after you.
Wunderbar.
The premise of all the “hate” legislation is stupid as hell.
I actually agree with Bondi that there is something called “hate speech,” and that there are laws against it which should be enforced. If you, for example, threaten a public official with assassination or such, you have crossed a long established line.
In short, “freedom of speech” does not absolve you of personal responsibility for what you say.
Now, we don’t have to repeat what the UK lately seems to be doing. You are “free” to be unpopular with the powers that be.
That isn’t hate speech, that is inciting violence and there are laws against it already.
Bingo. Hate speech is not a thing. Threats are a thing. Call them by their correct application titles.
And be darn clear about it. Use the right words.
Eleventy zillion percent.
Dan: I’m with you on this issue.
I ask myself this simple question, “What’s worst than hate speech?” The answer I get is “Slippery Slope”.
Hate Speech is a construct of the left, a cudgel to be used in their pursuit of total power. If “Hate Speech” is given the power of law, it will be used to further empower left leaning government and not be used to make our lives better. Do not let current passions rob you or future generations of liberty and freedom.
Yep, just pointing out there’s no such thing as “transgendered” is on their list of so called hate speech.
But it is something that needs to be repeated constantly.
“Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” Believing that men can have babies is absurd.
I think that this nation is capable of knowing the difference, and not going down the “slippery slope” now being navigated in the UK. We have various distinctions in our laws now – “inciting violence,” “libel,” and so on. Or, what Trump is now filing a billion-dollar lawsuit about: “The Press” has even greater inherent responsibility for what they “say.”
I strongly disagree with your assessment of this nation. I’ve lived long enough to have witnesses too many slippery slopes. The Patriot Act is just one of them, a left leaning government under Obama weaponized it and it is now woven into the fabric of our government. We lost Liberty and Freedom over that. The Covid totalitarianism has embedded some of its DNA into our body politics with corrupt elections on steroids being just one of its manifestations.
SCOTUS has repeatedly held that the term “hate speech” is a political fiction, and does not exist under the Constitution.
There is only protected speech, and speech not protected, under the Constitution.
Speech that incites, or is intended to incite, violence is not protected speech. It needs not be qualified as “hate”, “love”, or any other subjectively labeled speech. The standard is incitement, and its propensity or likelihood of doing so.
”Hate”, “Stupid”, “Ugly”, and all other subjective qualifiers are merely that. Qualifiers of protected, and legally allowed, speech.
There is no such thing as “hate speech” legally recognized. Period, end of conversation.
People need to stop using a political term created by the left for the sole purpose of suppressing disagreeable protected speech, as a tool of censorship.
Yes. We are here because brave men and women published and spoke against King George II. But they were responsible for whatever they said – and some paid the ultimate price for it.
If you react to an act of violence by saying, for example, “now go get Trump,” then there are people out there who will think that’s a bonny idea. And you should be held responsible for inciting acts of violence. Or, for fomenting hate and intolerance with expected violent results. And not just against public officials. When you “speak freely,” you are legally responsible for what you say. That’s fair.
We are losing our United States of America, our liberty and our freedom.
Legally it is a terroristic threat. Already illegal.
No. I think SCOTUS has been very clear on this, in favor of conservatives: Hate speech per se is Constitutionally-protected speech.
Speech that incites or is calculated to incite violence is not protected speech, and is covered under state and federal statues.
Even protected speech does not necessarily protect the speaker from the private and social consequences of that speech. That is why we are seeing many reckless leftists getting fired by their publicly-embarassed employers.
In other words, there is no such thing legally as “hate speech”. It is a construct, a fiction of the left, to silence speech they so label.
We just have a numb skull, grandstanding attorney general that cannot understand the differences. And is busy suing Office Depot for a fired employees words, instead of rounding up the inciters of terrorism.
Fox News Personality Pam Bondi using the term “hate speech” is just another unforced error of someone who should be confined to printing binder covers, and making coffee for the smarter attorneys there.
If one watches the full Bondi interview she was referring to hate speech that is inciting violence. She uses the term targeting people, in the larger context of violence.
She has since clarified that with the following.
How about just stop using the term of art “hate speech”?
The left created the term to stifle speech they disagree with. And it has no legal meaning or import whatsoever.
You and Bondi and others that keep using it are just giving it undeserved currency.
It’s a political smear term.
“How about just stop using the term of art “hate speech”?”
no.
just because it offends you is why we need to discuss it.
Free speech.
All rights have limitations.
While flag burning is protected as free speech, doing so in the middle of a street and obstructing traffic, endangering public safety, or using it to provoke violence or
incite a mob are examples where it crosses the line into illegal conduct.
I like pam Bondi for standing up for my right to travel.
It does not offend me.
But you repeating it, in the context of legally actionable speech by the Attorney General, gives it legitimacy.
It is an illegitimate, politically concocted, label.
yes.
It is a politically concocted label.
I have never wanted the label “hate crimes” to exist.
Does not make sense to me.
Talking about it acknowledges it exists.
I think it was politically created to protect people of color.
But White is not a protected color.
Which makes it unconstitutional, I think.
Bondi is using left wing language to attack Dem policies.
Does not bother me.
The rest of the world is using it to weaken Trump Presidency.
She simply said too much and obliterated the real meaning with the additional questionable explanation. What won’t women say what they mean and STOP. They like to hear themselves talk.
That’s not “hate speech” — that’s making a threat.
Prosecuting “hate speech” is wrong because it requires judging motivation. I might HATE the Dem Party. But I have a right to hate them all I want, and a right to say so. But if I blow up DNC headquarters, it doesn’t matter if my motivation was hatred for them, or because I just liked to blow stuff up. I’m guilty of the act — and the reason why should not be salient to the punishment applied if caught.
“Prosecuting “hate speech” is wrong because it requires judging motivation.”
Yes, “hate speech” is on a continuum with thought crime, hat tip George Orwell. A crime is only ever an action.
The biggest lie that rationalizes the use of violence by the left is the notion that speech is violence. If that is true, the use of actual violence is justified, and we’re off to the races.
Remember when the left claimed that “Silence is violence”? Yes, in their quest to control even our thoughts, they required people to verbally agree with them. They live in a weird world where speech is violence and silence is violence too.
And allowing them to set the terms used to discus things is an acceptance their weird world and guarantees their victory in any argument.
Our legal system routinely judges by motive. accidental, negligent, dui, crime of passion, premeditated, hired a hitman. Whether it is homicide or murder, somebody was killed. Just the punishments get worse.
But this hate crime is a political game. If a white schizo stabbed a black chick in the neck and said he got that black girl, it would be trumpeted as a hate crime.
And yes, the game is to take away free speech by controlling what hate is acceptable.
The only way to win is to not play their game.
It all goes back to changing the meaning of words.
morning Treepers…….be well
Forgive me for wanting to go ripping down that mountain side on a Specialized mountain bike..
I’ll wave as you go whizzing by from my slow floating boat with my loverly bride of 31 years, fishing rod, binoculars, camera, a good book, cooler with beer/wine/water, cold home cooked spicy seasoned fried chicken and tater salad for lunch and venison jerky, Snickers bars, and a couple of oatmeal cookies for snacks!
Ahhh….life in the slow float lane suits me old bones just fine and dandy!
Carry on, my wayward son,
You’ll have peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.
Don’t you cry no more.
I woke up to that song. Then I log on and see today’s picture. For me, the two fit together.
That song needs to be played LOUD.
Good morning bjorkdream.
So pretty.. 🙏❤️

Thank you.

Socialist Democrat Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, is refusing to endorse Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D-NY) 2026 re-election campaign—even after Hochul went out of her way to back his candidacy in a New York Times op-ed this week.
Hochul isn’t communist enough for Mamdani!!
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/saraharnold/2025/09/16/socialist-nyc-mayoral-nominee-refuses-to-endorse-hochul-despite-her-support-n2663436
The fact that Hochul has endorsed a candidate who once refused to denounce “From the river to the sea” tells you everything you need to know about where the Democratic Party is headed in New York. Even worse, Mamdani’s refusal to endorse her in return highlights the Left’s escalating demands: unconditional support, zero accountability, and no loyalty to the very leaders enabling them.
Hochul’s gamble may cost her more than political capital. She’s giving cover to the fringe—and getting nothing back.
Mamdani wants his own Muslim governor. Probably waiting in the wings. And if he loses the Mayoral race he’ll go for governor
He wants to be able to say what that muslim mayor said in Michgan to the american who had lived there his whole life…..”you are not welcome here so I will celebrate when you leave.”
This is our country and these people are trying to take it from us.

More Than A Dozen Injured In 2 Mass Shootings At Homeless Encampments In Minneapolis
https://dailycaller.com/2025/09/16/minneapolis-homeless-encampment-shooting-mayor-jacob-frey-thirteen-wounded/
Thirteen people were wounded in two mass shootings at Minneapolis homeless encampments Monday, and five remain in critical condition in what police say may have been connected attacks.
The city has now recorded five mass shootings in three weeks, including an Aug. 27 attack at Annunciation Catholic School that left two children dead and 21 others wounded.
Odd how much like Mogadishu that place is getting. Almost like somebody thought importing a bunch of Somalians was a good idea…
import the 3rd world, become the 3rd world.
We are now being rewarded with another run for Tampon Timmy as Gov. record fraud, Covid dictator, the GF riots extreme financial mismanagement and he thinks he deserves another term.

Just got back from a week fishing in Canada. Saw something that was quite inspiring. Thanks to Sundance and all the posters here, I am keeping up to date. This is a special place.. It has been a crazy week. Thanks for keeping us focused. I think we have reached a Turning Point! The money trail from Tides, NGOs and BLM are more in focus then ever.
This is from the UP of Michigan. Makes me think of the Holy Spirit.
Whoa! Great shot!
What was biting up there this time of year?
Big damn mosquitos the size of hummingbirds. Lol
Too Funny, just some small ones hanging out. After Sept 1st, it is not bad.
Glad you saw my humor. I hope you caught a lot of fish. I also draw inspiration from a photograph such as that. Creators hand on display to the world.
I was never bitten by the big ones. But the small ones were like a biblical plague.

A wow moment for me just a minute ago noticed. Walmart in lagrange ga has their flag at half staff.
President Trump made an interesting comment on Fox News yesterday – “The EU is paying our country $950 billion. Think of that. We’re talking about a year. $950 billion. Japan is paying $650 billion. China is paying us a tremendous tariff.”
This is where I’d love to see DOGE come in and do a comprehensive analysis of receipts. I’d like to know who is truly paying for what.
Today, I am reaching out to various Congressmen that I know personally to see if I can get them to nudge whoever is left on the DOGE team to see what can be done.
My stab in the dark guesstimate (I as a child accurately guesstimated a shopping cart full of groceries to within $0.02) is that streamlining government services with modern systems could save +/-$750 billion per year: redundant orders, personnel, over payments, etc.
How will this money be spent?
Pick one.
Pay down the dept.
Replace income taxes.
New programs that congress can profit from.
Read my comment closer.
I am not talking HOW the money will be spent.
I am talking about WHO, specifically, is paying those tariffs. I want receipts.
Think about all the money we(!) are paying! That “table of tariffs” which Trump was showing described 50% of the tariffs imposed upon us by those countries. All this time.
Now, having said that: “Tariffs,” being “import/export taxes,” are, and always have been, a routine part of international trade. They are simply treated as part of “cost of goods sold.” They are imposed for a variety of purposes.
The trouble until now has been that the USA wasn’t participating. It was paying tariffs out the nose, but it wasn’t imposing nearly enough. Trump is sort-of acting like this is a brand-new thing. When the truth is that we always should have been doing that, “too!” We are definitely late to the party.
Most of what President Trump does isn’t a “brand-new thing.”.
In prior generations it was called “common sense”.
It took me a long time to break out of the Mikton Friedman brainwashing. But eventually I accepted that the US grew into the top economic power using Tariffs as the primary way of funding federal government.
Quite the opposite to destroying the country.
And I love that our power is so great that many countries find ways to eat the increase in price before it ever reaches our wallet. Yeah for Trump.
But, in the end, we pay for everything when we buy something. Taxes, regulations, you name it and the customer pays the cost, or the seller goes bankrupt. And I am quite happy that other countries would rather go bankrupt than to make me pay.
Also, sending our jobs away means that we eventually won’t be able to pay anything. There is quite a lot of money to be made stripping us of our future. But that is an act of evil. No matter how many Friedmanisms are used to hide or justify that evil.
And don’t get me started on national defense requiring that we can produce and support everything or we will lose.
OK. Show me the money. Where is it?
full interview of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson on this mornings CNBC show; 14 minutes:
The TurnSpeak propaganda about Charlie Kirk isn’t just evil it’s stupid , I’ve never heard him say anything hateful just the opposite, as if the population has to subscribe to the anti Bible sewage coming out of the left , from killing babies to the dysfunctional gay agenda, that comes with incredible STDs , with the ABC link Abortion Breast Cancer, peer reviewed science, 43% risk of breast cancer with one Abortion, 79 to 84% risk with 2 and 3 , this coming out of China who kill the first baby girl regardless, there is no bigger data back, Chinese researchers and physicians are unencumbered by abortion politics, and do not cover up data showing long term effects of induced abortion, as do their US counterparts in governmental, professional and consumer organizations., so telling the truth is hate ? It’s moronic parading such crap then actually killing someone is beyond me , I can’t wrap my brain around crap like that ,
Anything that is in opposition to the way of life for the left is construed as hate. People who are hate filled, have to attribute it to others so as not to have to see it for what it is in them.
Just a few months ago, ABC’s “very touching” Mat Gutman was causing trouble at a “No Kings” rally, and apparently laid hands on a cop; they should’ve arrested him.
