I didn’t care for obama and Big Mike but I didn’t get a derangement syndrome over it that needed professional psychiatric/psychologist treatment!!! Good grief!!! Has the left become nothing but a gaggle of weak men and feminist women?
Well Yes
TDS is easy to diagnose…
The TDS sufferer only speaks with ad hominem attacks and/or long ago debunked lies. There are other derangement syndromes that can be diagnosed using the same criteria.
He represents the opposite of platitude Obama years
That is it.
Their value un earned from that social reconditioning phase is being threatened by reality trumping it.
They are the most useless pieces of shit on this planet. They have zero value and an inability to grow after facing reality.
The parasites in robes
Reality “trumps” it. I like what you did there.
Whoever designed this matrix did it looks like
Emotionally incontinent.
Weak men?
Yes, even weaker after the Slauson Cutoff.
NIH: Mothers of boys with Gender Identity Disorder: a comparison of matched controls
Results of the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines and the Beck Depression Inventory revealed that mothers of boys with GID had more symptoms of depression and more often met the criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder than the controls.
Poll Confirms Democrats Have Poor Mental Health
An annual [Gallup] poll of mental health found that the pandemic is taking its toll, but regular churchgoers are faring far better than Democrats, who rate their mental health very low.
Those who attended church regularly reported the highest rate of mental health.

That’s a significant correlation if it holds.
Plastics heating in travel leaks into contents and mimic estrogen.

I do not care who believes it. Belief won’t change the situation
What do you mean? (please)

OR micro-plastics?
Ironically, I’ve been reading on this topic..
Do you happen to have a link for this?
In all fairness, I’d wager that at least 75% of the folks here post either about Obama or Biden on a daily basis. Oh, and that new mayor in NYC. 😃
And?
That person appeared to defend the dumbest parasites portrayed as saints.
The confrontation is coming and it WILL NOT require actual force
CTH is a limited hangout in a more literal sense, more or less to discuss politics, vs a “syndrome,” which is defined by thoughts that interfere with other thoughts, relationships, and life functioning, and which cause suffering to the point that some of those afflicted with TDS are seeking professional help, the point of Dougherty’s post.
TDS is a symptom of a much larger issue than Trump derangement: It betrays an overriding need to follow the fake news herd, to virtue signal their fellowship for “one human family,” even as they seek to destroy everything that makes us human, and most importantly their lack of spiritual intelligence. This is a population completely bereft of core values and beliefs.
Lol Cheap Trick.
There is quite a difference between ranting in the comment sections and packing up and fleeing the country because you don’t like the President.
The only time I mention Obama is when discussion of election fraud comes up. If, if, if, if, if, if, if, if, if . . . oh, you know the thing!
“ Behind the polished language lies a darker reality: this marks the first step toward commercialized designer babies, a form of genetic engineering explicitly banned under U.S. law and condemned across most of the world.

All sorts of questions abound.
Will this only be possible for IVF conceived babies?
Can you do it in the womb without harm to mother or child?
Can you do it after cell division starts?
Where is the limit? Can you do it after birth?
What other changes will happen to the subject?
IVF requires multiple implants to ensure success. But sometimes more than one is born. How many fertilized eggs are needed, what is done with them and what happensvwith all births.
Also, it is quite common for these tech developers to act like they are saving the world as cover for other goals. Where will they stop? Eradicating deadly genetics? Designer babies?
Will this ever advance to replacing entire chromosomes instead of individual genes?
What if you don’t like the looks of what you ordered?
Lets see the return policy 🤣🤣🤣
Who cares.
Who cares.
Let them. They had zero freaking clue how phenotypes are absolutely irrelevant to inner mechanisms.
They won’t be superior to us mutts
Maybe it isn’t always about superiority? What if both parents carry a gene known to cause hereditary cell mutations and science could eliminate it? Dolly and Molly, the Edinburgh sheep served a purpose, it wasn’t done just because they wanted to create a superior lamb.
Dolly was created simply to see if we could.
And for somebody to claim credit.
So much of science is run under fraudulent claims.
Remember Embryonic Stem Cells. They were going to cure everything. How dare you deny Michael J. Fox a cure!
In reality, scientists wanted to clone humans. So they redefined cloning to be giving birth to a cloned baby and created a new term for the original act of cloning cells And then they lied about the wonders to overcome resistance.
No cures! No birthed babies. But lots of cloning of human cells.
BTW, the job of a medical ethics is to find ways to justify doing the unethical and calling it ethical.
Are you aware that sheep produce an enzyme in their blood that promotes coagulation in human blood? Yes, the first was to test plausibility however the second was in fact modified to increase the production of this enzyme. Think lukemia
Yes I remember the great debate of embryonic stem cells, would .you like to know the truth? At the time that debate was racing there were already 70+ gene therapies in use using adult cells and 0 using embryonic. The entire scam was for unlimited tax dollar funding…. Don’t look so surprised.
Brown University successfully stimulates adult cells to be almost any cell in the body they want, except a brain cell.
There is science, and there is science fiction.
Poverty for thee but not for me party.
They have BDS: Billionaire Derangement Syndrome……a clear and vicious hatred of those who have stolen more successfully than they have or were born with that inheritance or have earned it through capitalism.
I imagine they envy — but don’t particularly hate — those richer than themselves.
Judging from what they do, it is apparently the middle class that they hate.
So funny that just until a couple years ago- when they were all outed as Millionaires- all these Dem pols were ranting about Millionaires.
It’ll take them a while to get to Billionaire status, so I guess they’re safe with this new anti- Billionaire rant for a while.
I know, I know. It is unreal. The party of Oligarchs rage against Oligarchy. They think you are stupid.
I have to admit, knowing what a scummer and a scammer Liz Warren is, this is interesting.
I question how accurate that number is, I’m sure she’s got more money than that stashed somewhere- she’s smart like that.
Ben Shapiro comes out in support of H1B.

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/brutal-jasmine-crockett-gets-called-air-after-cnn/
FTA “House Democrats attempted another desperate anti-Trump smear on Wednesday, and it blew up in their faces in real time. Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) was confronted on-air after Democrats were caught selectively redacting Epstein documents to create a manufactured narrative aimed at smearing President Donald Trump. Even far-left CNN, one of the most loyal to the radical left, had no choice but to admit what happened. This disaster began when Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released what they called a “tranche of correspondence” from the Jeffrey Epstein Estate, bizarrely packaged as a “blow against the White House’s Epstein cover-up.”
I guess Lawrence didn’t get the memo that it was the Democrats who prevented full release of the Epstein correspondence!!! Lawrence is a radical leftist fake reporter in good standing who never gets close to the truth!!! JMO
Her district is going away so she’s talking about running for Texas Senator. Hopefully Texas isn’t THAT purple!
Great post… The Democrats just want to drag President Trump and MAGA through the mud till the midterms.
Here is Thomas Massie on the same night and same network, CNN with Ro Khanna pushing the same BS. If Massie was MAGA he would be trying to get something positive done for us. Instead he is working with the Dems to hurt President Trump and MAGA….
Definitely worth listening to!
Massie votes Party line 93% of the time?
Interesting. 🤔🤔

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/tucker-reveals-trump-attempted-assassin-thomas-crooks-social-media-history-fbi-coverup
the FBI’s response, since it is supposedly working really hard to reform… dontcha know… was that “we never said he didn’t have a social medial footprint”…. yeah… more defensiveness like the bongino response that i am supposed to be mad at massie about.
Regarding the H1B issue, I sometimes feel like President Trump likes to be liked, and often straddles a fence, depending on who his audience is. He is a big businessman, and likes talking bottom lines with Big Tech and large corporations. They play on his sympathy for what they need to be successful, and they tell him manipulative stories about how they WISH they could hire all American workers, but we just don’t have the right people with the skills and special talent they need to keep pace. (Where are they looking?) And he believes them, without having a laid off or underpaid tech worker in the room to provide “the rest of the story.”
Meanwhile, he also has a heart for the forgotten American workers who are getting the shaft — so when he campaigned in 2016, he brought the Disney workers onstage who had been laid off and forced to train their foreign H1B replacements, and expounded righteous indignation. (What happened to that?) Throw into that a side of Suzie Wiles, and meeting with India, China, and whoever else wants to replace our workers, and Big AI influencers, and that’s where you get PT talking and Truth Socialing out of both sides of his mouth.
On a positive note, Breitbart has been posting lots of reports over the past 10+ years that expose a lot of the injustices of H1B, L1, and other outsourcing of American jobs. They just posted an article detailing a lot of hopeful developments in leveling the playing field for American workers, fighting visa abuse, and exposing the obstacles they are tackling to take on the big conglomerate. (Basically, lawfare — these big fish companies have high priced slick lawyers who know how to game the system legally…)

I wonder why Georgia’s Fulton county top prosecutor didn’t just drop the case against President Trump as he couldn’t find a single lawyer to take the case so appointed himself.
https://dailycaller.com/2025/11/14/prosecutor-appoints-himself-to-fani-willis-election-case-after-failing-to-find-a-single-lawyer-willing-to-revive-it/
It’s not like they can haul the President into court. I also think he could be challenged as illegally appointing himself. Seems about the l as reasonable Comey and AG James claim.
“Because TRUMP!” Orange man bad!!
You must realize that these people will never quit.
Perhaps it’s high time that Federal officials start looking at, for example, “those surveillance cameras.” These were violations of Federal election laws, as well as State, and in all these years no one has ever even been indicted. For what a camera objectively saw and recorded. Perhaps “Fulton County’s top prosecutor” could be indicted, because he most certainly was aware of what was going on, and at various times protected it – in clear violation of Federal law.
When I read this article I found myself remembering what great *Republicans* Georgia has, like Kemp, and Raffensperger. And the two stolen Senate seats. So, yeah.
H-1B shock: Has the US got enough of its own techies?
Excerpt:
The bottom line
So, is the US currently able to fully replace foreign STEM/H-1B workers? Based on recent evidence, the answer is: not fully, at least not without significant costs, disruptions or policy and institutional adjustments. The US has a substantial base of domestic STEM talent, but the fit between what the domestic supply offers and what employers demand is imperfect. Specialised, high-skill roles, especially in newer fields or deep tech (AI, semiconductor design/fabrication, hardware, advanced research, etc., are particularly at risk of shortages if foreign hiring becomes prohibitively expensive….
….Additionally, in many cases, even domestic STEM graduates who are unemployed or underemployed are outside of the roles in question. Their degrees may be in STEM, but their skills or experience may not match what employers want….
……domestic STEM workers could fill many, but not all, roles, but only over time, and only if policy, education, employer hiring practices and geographic mobility adapt accordingly. Abrupt substitution is likely to lead to gaps in specialised skills, higher costs and slower innovation or project delays in certain sectors.
https://m.economictimes.com/nri/latest-updates/h-1b-shock-has-the-us-got-enough-of-its-own-techies/articleshow/124017344.cms
Add the $100,000 fee to any change of status applications or any change of employers and we’ll see which roles really need them. The fee currently only applies to a new hire from outside the US, let’s make it apply to everyone inside too.
I think the main issue is COST! They just don’t want to pay proper wages.
Exactly. Without proper wages for American citizens there is an ‘affordability’ problem. Meanwhile, the rich grow richer. I can understand exactly why Mandami was elected.
I guess my first question is what “recent evidence” points to “no.” We know what the utilizers/businesses say. But what do “unacceptable” and “unqualified” workers say? Especially the ones booted out of their jobs and opportunities 5 or 10 years ago. Of course, they may not be up to date on new technology because they haven’t grown with it and possibly never had the opportunity (notice I did not say capability) to learn and get trained.
Why do we think a man with top advisors, speaking with world leaders, accessing NSA and higher data collections doesnt know more than us
It’s disgusting and annoying.
Why would u ever try and compete or counter a guy that know a trillion percent more than us and can’t say most of it but instead nudges us

Environmental activist group scales back operations (the one’s who protested the Keystone Pipeline) due to lack of funding…. hmmm…. USAID? LOL!
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/13/green-group-350-org-suspends-us-operations-00651124
FTA:
“BELÉM, Brazil — Environmental group 350.org, which spearheaded the movement to block the Keystone XL oil pipeline, will “temporarily suspend programming” in the U.S. and other countries amid funding woes, according to a letter obtained by POLITICO.
The move comes as environmental groups have struggled to find their footing and raise money under President Donald Trump, whose threats to investigate left-leaning organizations and rapid-fire dismantling of environmental rules have hamstrung green groups.
The letter to outside organizations from Executive Director Anne Jellema said 350.org had suffered a 25 percent drop in income for its 2025 and 2026 fiscal years, compelling it to halt operations. The group will keep three U.S. staff members in hopes of reviving operations in the future.”
Am guessing there is (was) a corresponding line-item under USAID which explains it.

Restricting Visas for Skilled Workers Leads to Offshoring
https://www.nber.org/digest/sep20/restricting-visas-skilled-workers-leads-offshoring?page=1&perPage=50
Most of the jobs that can be off shored have been already. Many companies want someone local who works in roughly the same time zone. You can also get into security or insurance problems with off shored employees. Let’s just fix H1B and then see what really happens instead of coming up with excuses.
HI-B is about ONE THING and ONE THING ONLY: Hiring personnel at reduced wages.
The only reason there is a shortage of High Tech STEM workers is that we have been importing Foreign Labor for 30 years. In 99.9% of these cases, the foreign labor is MUCH cheaper than American workers.
Do u or anyone u know work near and h1b job
My uncle who has worked in IT for much of his life might confirm it, if you could get him to admit as much as he is decidedly left leaning. He has worked in the field since just before the dotcom era with the experience to match.
When he was getting closer to retirement age he was unemployable in a lot of those positions with much of that having to do with H1B visas working cheaper than he can despite his broad experience.
I keep urging people to watch this

USAA loves H1Bs.
Agree — except quibble that it has been even longer — started to became prevalent even in the 1980s and going strong by the early 1990s in programming and systems jobs.
Go offshore then.
Tariff offshore labor the same as offshore goods.
Let the market chase cheap labor and then pay the price to get the product back onshore. Labor will soon be elevated to a tariffed commodity…just watch.
When it costs to go offshore to get what at some point is readily available and rationally priced stateside, then the supply will rewarded with demand, finally, and the balance will remain stable and linked.
Translation: American education will be unfettered in producing the requisite US talent pool to supply US and foreign demands.
“American education will be unfettered in producing the requisite US talent pool to supply US and foreign demands.”
Yes, but when hundreds of thousands of Chinese students are competing for American college spots, it leaves fewer of those spots for American students.
There are so many excuses available to people who want to replace Americans with foreigners, one way or another.
MAGA
Competing, or actually being given preferential placement.
Well, when the foreign student at a state college pays perhaps a multiple of the resident student, who do you think the university looks forward to matriculating?
Why does Shapiro almost instinctively hate US citizens?

It’s one thing to bring in a few smart foreign workers that know how to do the very hard job to then teach our own people and then the foreigner goes home– it’s quite another thing to bring in a factory full of them to do that job – with no intention of training our own people.
It seems like only a few short years ago Disney brought in an influx of cheaper foreign labor and required the existing employees, soon to be ex-employees, to train their replacements or face losing severance benefits.
Nevada Supreme Court revives criminal case over Trump elector gambit
https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/13/nevada-supreme-court-2020-fake-electors-00651642
a lower court in Nevada had said it needed to be heard in Carson City, the Capital of Nevada, removing it from the Clark County (Las Vegas) jurisdiction as Carson City is where the alternate electors had signed their names to the alternate elector documents.
The Nevada Supreme Court just ruled it has to go back to Clark County to be heard – i.e. the Nevada equivalent of holding republicans accountable in a Washington D.C. democrat stronghold court so everyone can pretend equal justice will be applied.
Even though the President has pardoned all the alternate electors, those are pardons for any federal linked charges and all State charges remained at the discretion of the various State attorney generals. Given the Democrat Attorney General in Nevada has thrown his hat in the ring to run for Governor, of course he is not dropping State charges.
Most likely hoping a lawsuit during the spring of 2026 will propel him into the Governor’s mansion in November 2026 due to accompany8ing media coverage using the outrage narrative.
Democrats, if the Epstein thing doesn’t work, have a nationwide affected government shutdown, and when that doesn’t work return to the Epstein thing, and if another run at the Epstein hoax doesn’t work they have the alternate electors gambit to use. Anything and everything but actual representing their constituents needs.

Cracks forming in Italy’s support of the Ukraine war.
https://www.reuters.com/business/aerospace-defense/italys-salvini-says-aid-ukraine-may-fuel-corruption-2025-11-14/
“It seems to me that corruption scandals are emerging, involving the Ukrainian government, so I would not want the money of Italian workers and pensioners to be used to fuel further corruption,” Salvini said in comments reported by ANSA news agency but criticised by Italy’s defence minister.
“I don’t think sending more weapons will solve the problem. It seems to me that what has been happening in recent hours, with the advance of Russian troops, tells us that it is in everyone’s interest, first and foremost Ukraine’s, to stop the war,” Salvini added.
Salvini, the head of the far-right League party, forged close ties with Russia ahead of its 2022 invasion of Ukraine. While he has so far supported Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s decision to send military aid to Kyiv, he has avoided direct criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Speaking in Berlin, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto — a senior member of Meloni’s Brothers of Italy party — said it would be “absurd” to stop helping Ukraine.
“I understand Matteo Salvini’s concerns, but I don’t judge a country based on two corrupt individuals,” Crosetto told ANSA, adding: “We are trying to help civilians who are suffering 93% of the Russian attacks.”
Italy has just signed off on a 12th package of military support for Kyiv and has pledged to help Ukraine overcome its energy crisis this winter by sending electrical generators.
Rome has not joined a NATO-led initiative to buy U.S. weapons for Ukraine. A source said the issue was still under discussion in the government.”
https://alethonews.com/2025/11/13/censored-lavrov-interview-with-italian-media-full-text/
“Liberal Italian outlet Corriere della Sera has refused to publish an exclusive interview with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The move comes a week after an Italian journalist was fired by his news agency for questioning EU double-standards on Russia and Israel respectively.
In the interview, Lavrov, Russia’s vastly experienced top diplomat, cited a “Russophobia frenzy” in EU media. Lavrov also commented on the aborted meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump in Budapest, suggesting that Trump had received “behind-the-scenes reports” that led him to cancel the talks.
The full text of Lavrov’s interview, as published on the Russian MFA website is at the link above:
Below is the first question and Lavrov’s answer
Question: It has been reported that Vladimir Putin’s next meeting with Donald Trump in Budapest did not happen because even the US Administration realised that you are not ready for talks on Ukraine. What went wrong after the Anchorage summit that inspired hope for the launch of a genuine peace process? Why does Russia remain adherent to the demands that Vladimir Putin put forward in June 2024 and on what issues сould you make a compromise?
Sergey Lavrov: The understandings reached in Anchorage were an important milestone in the search for a long-term peace in Ukraine through overcoming the consequences of the violent anti-constitutional state coup in Kiev organised by the Obama administration in February 2014. The understandings are based on the existing reality and closely bound to the conditions of a just and lasting resolution of the Ukrainian crisis proposed by President Putin in June 2024. As far as we know, those conditions were heard and received, including publicly, by the Trump administration – mainly the condition that it is unacceptable to drag Ukraine into NATO to create strategic military threats to Russia directly on its borders. Washington also openly admitted that it will not be able to ignore the territorial issue following the referendums in Russia’s five historical regions whose residents unambiguously chose self-determination apart from the Kiev regime that labelled them as “sub-humans,” “creatures,” and “terrorists,” and chose reunification with Russia.
The American concept that, at the US President’s instruction, his Special Envoy Steve Witkoff brought to Moscow the week before the Alaska summit was also built around the issues of security and territorial reality. President Putin told Donald Trump in Anchorage that we agreed to use this concept as a basis while proposing a specific step that opens a way for its practical implementation.
The US leader said that he should consult with his allies; however, after the meeting with his allies that took place in Washington the next day, we did not receive a reaction to our positive response to the proposals that Steve Witkoff delivered to Moscow before Alaska. No reaction was communicated during my meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio in September in New York when I reminded him that we were still expecting it. To help our American colleagues decide on their own concept, we set forth the Alaska understandings in a non-paper and delivered it to Washington. Several days later, at Trump’s request, he and Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation and reached a preliminary agreement to meet in Budapest after thorough preparations for this summit. There was no doubt that they would discuss the understandings in Anchorage. After a few days, I spoke with Marco Rubio over the phone. Washington described the conversation as constructive (it was indeed constructive and useful) and announced that, after that telephone conversation, an in-person meeting between the Secretary of State and the Russian Foreign Minister in preparation for the top-level meeting was unnecessary. Who and how submitted covert reports to the American leader after which he either postponed or cancelled the Budapest summit, I do not know. But I have described the general timeline strictly based on the facts for which I am responsible. I am not going to take responsibility for bluntly fake news about Russia’s lack of readiness for talks or sabotaging the outcomes of the Anchorage meeting. Please speak to The Financial Times that, as far as I know, planted this misleading version of what happened, distorting the sequence of events, to put the blame on Moscow and lead Donald Trump off the road he suggested – a road to a lasting steady peace rather than the immediate ceasefire where Zelensky’s European masters are pulling him, due to their own obsessive intention to get a repose and inject the Nazi regime with more weapons to continue the war against Russia. If even the BBC produced a fake video that featured Trump calling for assaulting the Capitol, The Financial Times is capable of something similar. In Russia, we say, “they would not scruple to tell a lie.” We are still ready to hold another Russia-US summit in Budapest if it is genuinely based on the well-elaborated outcomes of the Alaska summit. The date is not set yet. Russia-US contacts continue.
Got caught, games up, and now time for a new venue to continue the corruption.

The Justice Department today announced five guilty pleas and more than $15 million in civil forfeiture actions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) remote information technology (IT) work and virtual currency heist schemes. The DPRK government uses both types of schemes to fund its weapons and other priorities in violation of sanctions.

On Promethean Action’s Q&A this Thursday in answer to a question they showed several pages of a chart showing where the investment money from other countries is going. The chart begins a bit after the halfway mark. They said they are working on making the chart and its updates available on the site.

isn’t it interesting how all these tens of millions of illegal aliens have such terrific legal representation? If you or I got our tits in the legal wringer, it would cost us our life savings to hire legal help like this. They are running rings around our DOJ.
Ever wonder where all this money comes from? No law firm will provide services like these for free. No way in the world. Who’s paying? Is it laundered USAID money (meaning we are, US taxpayer)? Is it cartel money? Answer is: most likely both.
If the Aryan Brotherhood were funding legal challenges to federal law-breaking individuals, how long you think it would take for the feds to shut down that funding flow? Don’t tell me our government isn’t in on all these illegals being here. They totally are and have been since the 1980’s (yes, that’s Reagan for all you young people).
Part of it is likely a tax deduction for charity work.

“Over 480 FBI employees were involved in the Thomas Crooks investigation. Employees conducted over 1,000 interviews, addressed over 2,000 public tips, analyzed data extracted from 13 seized digital devices, reviewed nearly 500,000 digital files, collected, processed, and synchronized hundreds of hours of video footage, analyzed financial activity from 10 different accounts, and examined data associated with 25 social media or online forum accounts.
The FBI’s investigation into Thomas Crooks identified and examined over 20 online accounts, data extracted from over a dozen electronic devices, examination of numerous financial accounts, and over 1,000 interviews and 2000 public tips. The investigation, conducted by over 480 FBI employees, revealed Crooks had limited online and in person interactions, planned and conducted the attack alone, and did not leak or share his intent to engage in the attack with anyone.”
I should add my own comment to Patel’s:
LOL!!!
He said it himself in an interview – the FBI lacks any credibility. Release whatever you have and let the Internet do the investigating.
BS
🐂 💩
methinks they doth protest too much.
Tucker, for all his faults, just told us more about what the FBI learned than the FBI has.
Seems like Ka$ h and Dan share outrage reply letters.

Okay, Now It’s Confirmed: Trump Is Driving Leftists CRAZY
Excerpt:
Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t just a phrase patriots use to mock leftists anymore. It’s a real malady, and it deserves a place in the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the basic handbook for mental health workers.
Just a word of advice from an old timer…Don’t fall into the same trap that is now active in our country. Please use common sense when posting their garbage. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😛
Progressives (aka Progtards)/Leftoids have always based their decision processes not on observable and testable reality but “Feelings”.
Their whole Modus Opperendi (or as Rush would say for folks in Rio Linda, an “M.O.” or established habits), is to base their actions on things that were at best transitory or at worst non-existent… ie the rationale for Transgenderism or unrestricted unlawful “Immigration”.
To sum, up Progtards are as Nutty as a Fruit Cake, if they weren’t San Francisco would be a clean, non-Dystopian city that cares about it’s populance.

Epstein’s slide began in 2007 when the SDFL AUSA handling the investigation in Florida call Les Wexner, told him about the investigation in Florida, told him that Epstein had been embezzling money for years, and had defrauded him out of millions. She wanted Wexner to cooperate as a “victim” of Epstein’s financial crimes.
A few months after that call — which we say Epstein raging about to his lawyers in the emails released a few weeks ago — Wexner cut him off and started to sue him to regain control of his funds and his properties.
THAT was the beginning of the end for Epstein.

Good news for the Trump defendants in Georgia. No actual State Attorney was willing to take the case. Expect a dismissal in short order.

So, will he prosecute? Or will he dismiss?
And what happens to those who plead guilty and were in a position to be forced to testify against Trump, if it is dismissed?
I am speaking about Sydney for one. Can a dismissal erase a guilty plea?

Speaker Johnson is saying the House will concentrate on passing the remaining 9 of 12 spending bills in regular order during the remainder of the year. Three have already been signed into law, passing the Senate, so we know the votes to pass the other nine exist in the Senate. Schumer is going to be SOL.
I bet the House gets all 12 passed.
What Majority Leader Thune gets passed in the Senate is the real question. Probably nothing ’til time for the desperate next CR.
If our politicians don’t get their act together and seriously do something to ban Islam, burquas, sharia law, Texas could soon be Texastan.
