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 318 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.

Is it any wonder why the D wing of the Uniparty chose Walz as its vice-mascot candidate?
The most prolifically corrupt (and thus exposed) are the best option. By definition.
I personally seen this happening in 2015. I was forced to change careers after my body wore out from being a diesel mechanic for 28 years. I went to truck driving school in New Port , Minnesota, just south of St Paul. Most were foreigners. I even had a discussion with one of the instructors about their inability to speak/read English. Minnesota provides paperwork for CDL’s in different languages. Interpreters in some instances. I’m not sure how the students were passing the Driving portion of the test, which included a verbal, hands on, Pre-trip inspection.
I agree with you, I drove a 26ft box truck for 30 years in the cities retired a few years back, Lots of non english speakers showing up at the warehouse, Many could not back up to the dock!
A lot Minnesota news outlets were broadcasting warnings to the Somalians yesterday. Giving descriptions of vehicles and what to look out for. MPLS and St Paul mayors were on the news giving direction and warnings. The push back was incredible on social media. Even St Cloud, Rochester, aren’t immune to what’s happening. The tide has turned. Instead of citizens living in fear of being attacked, Somalians are going into hiding. Hopeful this will end the roving gangs of Somalians walking the streets threatening people. Yes. That is exactly what was happening and people that complained about it were called racist.
It’s going to be interesting to see if the crime is quelled in the cities. I think we’re about to find out who’s been doing the majority of Crimes / Shootings, Car Jackings, ect…
How about we trade Minnesota to Canada in exchange for Alberta and the Yukon?
Insurrection, by definition.
If a city or state ever needed help from the Federal level it is Minneapolis and Minnesota! The fraud and crime is off the charts and the law abiding citizens are being bled dry by the taxes and fees.
I have lived here for over 60 years and to see this beautiful state destroyed by Walz and his crew is so tragic. I hope and pray for the ship to be righted while I am still on the right side of the sod.
JMHO-they need divine help from Our Lord God and Savior.

Sean Hannity:
They have similar questions. Do you think, especially with the drought issue Iran is dealing with and Maduro basically being told by the president to get out, are we possibly on the verge of regime change in both countries?
Marco Rubio: Well, look, at the end of the day, with Maduro the problem is this: if you wanted to make a deal with him, I don’t know how you do it.
He’s broken every deal he’s ever made. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. If there were a way to bring stability to the hemisphere, to make Venezuela a country that isn’t a base for Iranian influence and activities against the United States, that would be ideal.
You could have a Venezuela that isn’t trafficking drugs or sending people to our country like Trinidad Agua gang members. The problem is Maduro has made five deals with different parties over the last decade and broken every one of them.
The Biden administration also made a deal with him, no one talks about this. Maduro asked for his nephews, convicted drug traffickers, to be released from U.S. prisons, and for his chief money launderer, his “bag man,” to be released before trial.
In exchange, he promised free and fair elections. He got his nephews back, he got the bag man back, and he never delivered the elections.
They stole the elections.
They suckered Joe Biden.
They’re not going to sucker Donald Trump. The president is unique in modern American history. He’s prepared to sit down and talk with anyone.
He just met with the president of Syria, who has an interesting past, to say the least.
He’s willing to meet with Putin, with Xi, with Kim Jong Un, like he did in his first year.
He’ll meet with anybody. But at the end of the day, you need someone who can actually keep a deal.
We’ve made deals with the Chinese, but Maduro has never kept one.
That doesn’t mean the president won’t try. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
https://nitter.poast.org/Osint613/status/1996129491358240864#m
The only language Maduro (and Iran) understands is WAR
Wipe out the scum that imports deadly drugs and interferes in our elections
The Biden admin asking for “free and fair elections” is a new one. Have to wonder what they had in mind unless it was to give Maduro what he wanted in exchange for plausible deniability.
They also got Tren de Agua shipped to the US, direct from Venezuelan prisons. Quite a deal we financed.
Getting one loser like Massie to join with radical liberals does not make it a bipartisan bill.
It would be nice if these congress critters cared enough about US citizens to actually finish and vote on the overdue fiscal 2026 Appropriation Bills to fund our government! Gee, maybe they could even do that on time for once next September!
Belgian Police Raids EU Diplomatic Corps in Sweeping Corruption Probe – Senior Diplomats Mogherini and Sannino Arrested
Belgian newspaper Le Soir reported:
“Searches were carried out on Tuesday at the European Union’s diplomatic service in Brussels (EEAS) and in several buildings of the College of Europe in Bruges, in an investigation into possible fraud in the use of EU funds, the European prosecutor’s office announced.
In total, three people have been arrested, he added. One of them is the rector of the College of Europe, Federica Mogherini. The former vice-president of the European Commission is currently in police custody, Le Soir has learned from a reliable source, confirming information from L’Echo. According to our information, the other individuals detained for questioning are a manager at the College of Europe and the former Secretary-General of the EEAS (2021-2025), the Italian diplomat Stefano Sannino.”

Tensions Escalate Within NATO as Pentagon Abruptly Halts Ukraine-Related Communications with Germany
Strains within NATO appear to have intensified following the Pentagon’s sudden decision to sever routine communications with Germany’s Defense Ministry on matters related to the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war, according to German officials who described the move as unexplained and ‘disruptive.’
Lieutenant General Christian Freuding, head of Germany’s Ukraine coordination task force, told reporters on Tuesday that what had been round-the-clock exchanges with U.S. counterparts have now ceased entirely, leaving Berlin without direct insight into American strategic planning.
German defense sources said they have been forced to route inquiries through their embassy in Washington, with senior military figures acknowledging a lack of dependable channels to engage Pentagon officials amid the communications blackout.
The freeze coincides with the U.S. administration’s efforts to revise its proposed Ukraine peace framework, reducing it from 28 to 22 points after consultations with both Kyiv and Moscow, highlighting what critics call a faltering approach to a war that has dragged on without resolution.
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff is Moscow meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin for additional talks, a development that has caught European allies off guard after years of insistence from NATO leaders that direct negotiations with Moscow were untenable.
Berlin only learned of the Trump administration’s suspension of certain weapons shipments to Ukraine last summer when deliveries failed to materialize, despite Germany’s key involvement in coordinating NATO support, sources familiar with the matter said.

It’s Past Time For The Ukraine-Russia War Obama Started To End–The Federalist:
“The proposed Ukraine peace deal has shaken the political class that insisted escalation with Moscow was the only acceptable course. How, they ask, can Russia possibly walk away with concessions? Part of this is simply material: Russia has ground out battlefield gains and retains the manpower and resources to sustain the war indefinitely. But that is only one dimension of it.
The fuller answer reaches back long before the first tanks crossed the border. It began a decade earlier, when a small clique of Washington insiders decided Russia would be the villain in every story and Ukraine the instrument to make it so. From the 2014 Kiev coup to the Russia-collusion hoax to the Ukraine impeachment fiasco, the same actors built a narrative architecture that rewired the entire geopolitical landscape and made war not just possible but almost inevitable. The peace deal now taking shape is, at least in part, the price of that deception.
While Donald Trump was the primary target of the collusion smear, Russia and its 144 million citizens were relentlessly vilified in the process, making them, uncomfortable as it may be to admit, victims in their own right. That reality has been almost entirely erased from mainstream discussion of both the war and the negotiations over its end. But it cannot be wished away. It will have to be reckoned with, whether people like it or not.
To understand why, we need to revisit the past 12 years. For many Americans, Ukraine entered the political spotlight in early 2014, when the Obama administration encouraged and facilitated a revolution in Kiev. Neocon stalwarts like John McCain and Lindsey Graham happily joined in, treating regime change as a moral crusade rather than the geopolitical dynamite that it was.
At the time, Ukraine had a democratically elected government led by President Viktor Yanukovych. He was lazily caricatured as a Russian puppet, but in reality, he was doing what any Ukrainian leader should be doing: balancing Ukraine’s existence as a buffer state between Western Europe and Russia. That role requires strategic calibration, not ideological zealotry. Yanukovych understood that.
The problem for the D.C. establishment, its foreign policy elite, and its deep-state networks was precisely that balance. They wanted Ukraine permanently locked into the Western orbit, tethered to the European Union (EU) and eventually NATO. When Yanukovych declined to sign an EU association agreement — wisely given that at least half his country was economically, culturally, and historically bound to Russia — he became a marked man.
Following violent unrest and a narrative falsely blaming Yanukovych for the deaths of protesters, he was ousted and replaced by a government effectively selected by U.S. officials. This is not conjecture. It is confirmed by the infamous leaked call between Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland and Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt, in which they calmly plotted who would be installed in the Ukrainian government once Yanukovych was removed. This was not democracy. It was orchestration led by the Obama administration.
From Moscow’s perspective, it was a direct assault on Russia’s strategic perimeter. In response, President Vladimir Putin moved to secure Crimea, historically Russian and home to the Black Sea Fleet, a strategic asset that could not be left in the hands of a hostile, NATO-aligned regime. And he was right, as a decade later we learned that, immediately after the Kiev coup in 2014, the CIA began building bases with Ukrainian security services. In total, the CIA built 12 such bases in secret locations along the Russian border.
The 2014 coup also shattered Ukraine’s internal equilibrium. Officials who supported a balanced posture or favored preserving ties with Russia were purged, and anti-Russia dogma hardened into state doctrine. And it is at this point that Ukraine’s story folds directly into the origins of Russiagate.
During the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign, Trump committed an unforgivable sin: He suggested the United States should pursue stable relations with Russia rather than perpetual hostility. For the new Ukrainian elite and their Western patrons, this posture was existentially threatening. They needed Washington permanently locked into an adversarial stance toward Moscow. So Ukraine became an active player in the Russia-collusion narrative.
High-ranking Ukrainian officials, including the prime minister, the interior minister, and the ambassador in Washington, took deliberate steps in 2016 to sabotage Trump’s campaign and boost Hillary Clinton.” ….
The conclusion:
“… Without Iraq-style lies about Russia, the collusion hoax, the impeachment farce, and the 51 intelligence officials laundering deception for political gain, there likely would have been no war. Trump could have stabilized relations. Ukrainian neutrality could have been maintained. Hundreds of thousands of lives might have been saved.
Now the West confronts the reality it created. Years of narrative warfare and institutional deception rewired the geopolitical landscape and left Russia with both leverage and grievance. Stability cannot be restored by ignoring history; it requires addressing the distortions that produced this conflict.
This is why the proposed peace agreement appears generous to Moscow. But it is not generosity, and it is not capitulation. It is a correction. It is the belated recognition that the instability engineered by Western elites must be unwound, not moralized away. What looks like concession is, in truth, the unavoidable reckoning with a crisis the West itself set in motion.” …….
Read it all.
President Trump–and the People–were overthrown in 2020 specifically so they could have this Dirty War.
They butchered millions for Money and Power. They turned Ukraine into a Criminal Disneyland That Never Closes. And pretended to be the friends of Ukrainians while they sold them out as Cannon Fodder.
I think before it’s all over, we will find that these Nazi Pigs and their Deep State handlers killed Charlie Kirk, too. He had their puppet dictator’s number, and said so.
Madmen. Mass Murderers. Seditionists. Traitors all.

With all due respect the Confederates were Democrats and the Federal’s were Republicans. We’ve been mockingbirded to frame it as regional, to shield the Democrat party.
One of the biggest Trump Republican MAGA friends of mine is a Black man who figured all of that out. More and more are as well. All the CIA Fake News media projection has been that the KKK, Jim Crow, Confederacy,Slave owners etc has been that they were Republicans, when the fact is they were Democrats.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear one case on Wednesday, with the audio scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. east coast time. Link to listen to the audio and to read the question(s) before the court:
https://www.supremecourt.gov/
This case is called Olivier vs City of Brandon. Background is that Olivier is a Christian called to share the gospel and after being arrested and fined for violating an ordinance targeting “protests” outside a public amphitheater he brought a lawsuit under the First and Fourteen Amendments to declare that city’s ordinance unconstitutional.
There are two questions before the Court on this case:
1) “Whether, as the Fifth Circuit holds in conflict with the Ninth and Tenth Circuits, this Court’s decision in Heck vs. Humphrey bars s 1983 claims seeking purely prospective relief where the plaintiff has been punished before under the law challenged as unconstitutional” ;
and 2) “Whether, as the Fifth Circuit and at least four others hold in conflict with five other circuits, Heck vs. Humphrey bars s 1983 claims by plaintiffs even where they never had access to federal habeas relief.”
Those questions made no sense to me, not a lawyer, so read some of the filings submitted to the Court to figure out what this was about and this is an excerpt from a reply brief for the Petitioner (Olivier) that was filed with the court June 3, 2025 (also, I can’t find the way to type the Section symbol. for example 42 U.S.C. s 1983 – am using a small s in lieu of the Section symbol)
excerpt from the plaintiff’s lawyers in reply to a filing from the defendant (the city of Brandon) “. . . That’s because there’s a well-developed, entrenched split on both questions. Instead, the city quibbles about its contours. That’s because they’re simply denying that the Fifth and Ninth Circuits (joined by the Tenth) disagree over whether a prior conviction permanently bars a plaintiff from seeking prospective injunctive protection from future enforcement of an unconstitutional law. Both the Fifth and Ninth Circuits have declined to rehear this issue en bank, and more than thirty judges on both courts have joined or authored nine opinions on the issue . . . This division won’t resolve itself and no further percolation is necessary. As for the second question presented, the city agrees that each Court of Appeals has staked out a position on the question and that the Circuits are in conflict. Only this court can resolve the split and restore uniformity.”
so it looks like this is another one those cases where process of making a decision is in the forefront rather than the actual lawsuit brought by the man wanting an answer on whether or not his constitutional rights have been violated. I could be wrong, as it looks like the courts are quibbling over whether or not a previously convicted person can bring a lawsuit, and would love any of our branch sitting lawyers to share what they see this case is about, so thanking any Treeper lawyers in advance.
Not sure if this will help. I looked up Heck.
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/512/477/
Heck was convicted of murdering his wife. And he was appealing that verdict.
While waiting for the appeal, Heck filed suit for damages.
His appeal failed. And his damage suit thrown out.
The decision was that such damage suits require some prior act that overturns the original verdict.
Brandon had some law that designates a protest area where no one will ever be heard. And Olivier’s preaching was declared to be a protest. He refused the silencing, and ended up pleading no contest and paying a fine.
Olivier considers that law to be an unconstitutional restriction of his rights. And has filed suit to prevent future enforcement.
The city is arguing Heck to quash Olivier’s lawsuit.
This supporter of Olivier says that Heck creates a catch-22 that allows violations of rights. Basically, no standing before enforcement and no standing after conviction.
https://libertyjusticecenter.org/amicus/olivier-v-city-of-brandon/
Amici briefs do not necessarily capture all the arguments. So there could be missing issues.
Protest areas seem pretty standard. But can you similarly restrict preaching? Or newspaper boys hawking papers?
Those aren’t under consideration, but underlay the entire affair.
Also, Heck is not directly under challenge. Instead details about how Heck is used in courts are under consideration because the courts are splitting on those details.
And no, I am not going to hunt out all the different cases so split. Seems like there have been a lot of them. Preparing for arguments must be tough.
My brain shuts down when confronted with lawyerese. This reminds me that we have the word barbarian because a foreign language sounded to the Greeks like barking dogs. Barking dogs get their message across to average people much better than lawyers do.
Protest areas seem pretty standard.
Just because too many people have rolled over and allowed their rights to be trampled, that doesn’t mean it’s constitutional Jim. Next they’ll say you can’t picket on public property…
As long as people aren’t impeding traffic, foot or car, and are truly peaceful our constitution gives them the right to air their grievances and protest.
A single person standing and saying anything, regardless of location, does not impede traffic and is peaceful.
To me the basic rule for preaching or protesting needs to be — contact needs to be initiated by the bystander. If someone approaches me with whatever their thing is, they are causing a problem. Come yell at me or scream in my face, you just lost your rights to speech. I don’t care if you touch me or not. I have a bubble and you need to stay out of it.
Yelling or screaming in one’s face to me isn’t peaceful 😉
Depending on how out of Control the Justices are, they could be struck down.
Or a decision about allowing preaching could eventually end up allowing all 1st amendment actions.
That is why I mentioned it. The bit about newsboys was my sheer imagination, and way out of date, but the first has many different activities inside of it.
I was trying to give a feel for possible ramifications.
But the Court typically narrows their reach instead of expanding it. Leaving important issues for some later time.
Simply allowing his lawsuit to proceed could be a way to bring them back.
Shutting his lawsuit down will put up a barrier to help keep those issues out.
Sorry I wasn’t clear about it.
Thanks for the clarification Jim, understand.
Thank you! This helps a lot.
Similarly, I’ve been called “wordy” in the past but that’s nothing compared to lawyerese and also shut down when the weeds get so tall can’t find the sunlight.

Morning Seth, in the 1996 New Hampshire GOP Primaries, America First Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan won there, despite the Mockingbird Media’s fake polls lying and saying he was 5th or 6th so that voters would not vote for him, he won. He won because NH had paper ballots.
His 96 campaign was a early warning that Paper Ballots was the correct course and their was massive fraud with the computer systems as the Collier Brothers in VoteScam revealed. They ended up stealing the 96 GOP Primaries from him and from Viagra Dole which included large amounts of illegal ChinaGate cash payouts.
Cheers my friend
Vote Fraud Seems Alive and Well…
Was Buchanan Robbed in Louisiana, Iowa, Arizona?

The real problem in NH is that the southern edge of the state became a bedroom community for people fleeing “Taxachusetts”, and like every useful idiot, brought their Democrat party line voting habits with them. The upstate conservatives were swamped out by 2005.
The real problem is the voting machines, immigration, and cultural Marxist indoctrination in the schools and mockingbird media. I will always hold New Hampshire in high regard for giving Pat the America First candidate the win with paper ballots. The voting machines and op mockingbird would end up stealing the GOP Primaries in 96 and I’ve hated the Uniparty Fabians ever since
100% accurate! I’ve lived through it my entire life. The trifecta of evil Colkitto lists above, with the help of Bill “Joe Biden is my friend” Gardner – who was the NH Sec of State from 1976 – 2022, have completely corrupted the system. The current NH SoS, David Scanlan, is a complete RINO of Bush / Sununu pedigree. Until there’s a real change agent, such as Karoline Leavitt running for governor, nothing is going to change here. NH is pretty much at rock-bottom – not a peep from Gov. Ayotte (R- Bush) about Mrs Jake Sullivan aka Maggie Goodlander’s sedition video. BTW, Maggie was once a law clerk for Merrick Garland – yup – a real prize!
Cheers friend!
Pat Buchanan – “Ride to the Sound of the Guns!” (1996 Victory speech in NH Primary)
Contrary to the lies perpetrated by the Democrats and their fake media allies, and even by some so-called conservatives, Tennessee’s 7th district is not deep red, but is R +10 according to the Cook Partisan Voting Index, despite President Trump winning the district by 22% in 2024.
All but one other Republican district ranges from R+17-R+29. Those would be deep red.
And Matt won by about 9%, just under the R+10. Behn won Davidson county by 77% of the vote, 15% more than the 62% won by Harris. Had Davidson county Democrats voted in line with 2024, Matt would have won by close to 13%. Davidson county represented 24.5% of the vote in the district, vs Harris representing it with 21.7% in 2024. So even with the Dems national push for a win here, they lost big, and can’t spin it any other way.
The only takeaway from this is that Republicans need to learn how to get out and vote in special elections.
Redistricting.
Before adding part of Nashville to the 7th, it was deep red.
But Nashville was deep blue.
The sum of the parts is red, but not deep red and not purple.
And yes, there was a lot of false claims made to make it look like she would win and that it was all part of some anti-MAGA wave.
The part about her outperforming Harris is hilarious.
She told Nashville that she hated them and everything about them. And they still voted for her in droves.
I guess that shows hatred to be the milk of Democrat Politics.
The Nashville vote was definitely littered with shenanigans, mainly of the “get out the vote” variety.
Hatred the milk and cheating the meat?
Your last sentence is in contradiction with the rest of the information presented IMO.
Winning by 9 in a +10 district doesn’t show a problem getting the vote out. A 1% delta is in the weeds.
Further note – a 9% win is a large win. Go look at all of the elections that are determined by 1 or 2% if you want to see “close” elections.
My sentence stands as stated. Take a look at how many Republicans turned out in the district in 2024 vs this special election. If even half of those who didn’t vote in the special election that voted in 2024 had done so, Matt would have won by 20%. The fact that Davidson county was almost 3% more of the total district vote than in 2024 shows that many Republicans in that district were content to sit at home while the national Democrats tried to run up the vote totals for the Dems in that county.
Meanwhile, in Michigan….

Connect the dots!
If blue states actually followed voting laws, they wouldn’t be blue. That’s the actual problem, and why the Democrats can’t give any ground on this issue.
Even with no valid arguments for the numbers, to maintain discrepancies or no voter ID, these criminals get to remain in power by fraudulently electing / appointing judges.
The foundation of the Democrat “blue wall” of electoral votes is election fraud in large cities to carry the rest of the state.
Where is the DOJ on this fraud? Where are the lawsuits from voter integrity groups?

If MIC needs to be mollified, babied, petted, and satisfied after Iraq et al, Afghanistan, and Ukraine, I would much rather them be able to get their rocks off in our hemisphere/close to home (like Venezuela) where there actually is a somewhat national interest to consider (with good ocean access) than some far flung land locked flight of fancy.
Hope I properly typed and punctuated that long sentence.
The MIC has me baffled.
They get their parts from our enemies.
Even getting parts from overseas allies presents a grave risk of suffering like England did in WW2, or worse, like Japan suffered.
But from our enemies?
The MIC is absolutely incapable of ramping up production of any number of high tech items.
Would they rather lose wars than profit from them?
We can’t even mass produce simple artillery shells any more. Not just the fancy high tech ones, but the simple ones.
Crap like Iraq and Afghanistan are low grade wars where they can drive a steady stream of low grade profit.
Israel has high usage bursts amidst long doldrums, so that too can fit a steady low grade profit model.
But Ukraine is a big active war like Korea or Vietnam. Low grade production is failure.

European Commission makes 11th-hour offer to win Belgian backing for Russian asset loan
The EU executive suggests a legal fix to prevent Belgium from being on the hook to repay billions of euros in case Hungary vetoes the renewal of sanctions on Moscow.
December 2, 2025 8:48 pm CET
BRUSSELS — The European Commission is offering a legal fix to allay Belgium’s fears of a nightmare scenario that could unfold if €140 billion in Russian assets frozen in Brussels are used as a loan to Ukraine.
The Commission wants the 27 EU member countries to agree to lend the immobilized billions to Kyiv at a European Council summit this month. Belgium is resisting, however, over concerns it will be on the hook if the cash has to go back to Russia.
Five diplomats and EU officials said a legal framework was now being drawn up to prevent that from happening. A full proposal on the loan is expected on Wednesday.
Belgium’s ultimate fear is that if the €140 billion is lent to Ukraine, a single pro-Russian EU country, such as Hungary or Slovakia, could veto the renewal of the EU’s sanctions regime against Moscow. That would require Belgium to immediately return the missing billions to Russia.
The Commission’s fix to keep Belgium happy is to prevent individual EU countries from being able to overturn sanctions. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán currently has the power to do exactly that, as sanctions require unanimity and must be renewed every six months.
The Commission now sees a way around this: It wants to resort to a clause in Article 122 of the EU treaty, which allows governments to decide “in a spirit of solidarity between Member States, upon the measures appropriate to the economic situation.”
The Commission wants to interpret this to mean that in light of the enormous financial stakes in this case, a qualified majority of nations will suffice to approve a sanctions roll-over, robbing Hungary of a potential veto. One of the diplomats said this strategy was a way “to secure Belgium’s backing.”
The EU’s lawyers agree that the fluid language of Article 122 justifies overhauling the unanimity requirements because a reversal of the sanctions would wreak havoc on the European economy. That reading could also be used to reduce the frequency of sanctions renewal votes from every six months to once every three years, said the diplomats briefed on the discussions.
Time is now of the essence because failure to reach an agreement will leave Ukraine on a shoestring budget to fight Russian forces before its coffers run dry in April. The alternative is for EU taxpayers to shoulder the cost of Ukraine’s war, while Moscow’s sanctioned billions remain untouched.
The key question is whether the Commission’s latest legal gymnastics will satisfy Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever and prompt him to allow the release of the Russian funds from the Euroclear bank in Brussels. De Wever’s office declined to comment on the legal fix.
The question of how to overhaul the EU’s sanctions rules has been debated for years in Brussels’ corridors of power. In October the EU executive suggested using European Council conclusions from last year as a legal basis to keep Russia’s assets frozen until it pays back post-war reparations.
But several countries opposed this idea, fearing that using old political statements to dictate future policy would set a dangerous precedent.
Just my opinion:
It looks as if the EU really wants to go to war/court to keep Russian assets, I guess the whole world will watch instead of take action against the unlawful recommendations of their lawyers. Heh, just a few changes in Article 122 and all those countries will be held liable by the decision made from unelected offices. This bridge to Ukraine is going to be the EU’s economic downfall. It won’t even last a few months cause Ukraine needs it to pay off a previous loan… 😛

Our language has much ambiguity in it. In math, they ask if it is necessary. Can you get the same results with other means? Then they ask if it is sufficient. Will that alone be enough to get the result. Being both necessary and sufficient is a very big deal. The result is guaranteed.
‘Needs’ encompasses all that and a whole lot more. Hence it is more ambiguous.

it would certainly be an interesting Supreme Court case. The justices would have to negate not only Biden’s appointments but the Senates confirmations of those appointments, of which many Republicans voted for those candidates. There would certainly be interesting arguments from both sides.
If it happens I would hope the Justices would cancel the appointments and Trump could try to appoint some decent strict constructionist judges , something he hasn’t been real good at considering who his aides had recommended to him his last term

“All he (Arizona scientist James Tour) needs is discarded electronics—of which the United States has mountains. And from these scraps, the Rice University chemist and nanotechnologist has pioneered a way to quickly extract rare earth metals.
“We can pull out one metal and then the next,” he told The Epoch Times. “It’s really that simple.”

So I would say yes his bombs or missiles killed people and he could feel guilty but I think his motives are purely political.

War Crimes and the law:
A reader at the New Neo’s site posted better details about what the laws are on striking boats without flags in international waters, which applies to this case:
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/12/venezuela_boat_strike_baloney.html
“But of course this was no warship, and the drug-runners are not signatories to the Geneva Convention. What law does apply?”
The laws of stateless vessels.
The laws of a country extend 12 miles out from its shores. All vessels within that limit are subject to that country’s jurisdiction. Beyond that limit all vessels must fly the flag under whose jurisdiction they are sailing. Someone committing a crime in international waters is subject to the laws of the country under whose flag he is sailing. In addition, that country is responsible for the actions of a vessel flying its flag.
These boats are not flying Venezuela’s flag, and thus Venezuela is not legally responsible for them. They’re not flying *any* flag — so no country is responsible for their actions, but they don’t receive the protections of any country either. They are stateless vessels and, under the law, essentially pirates.
Vessels in international waters are required to monitor specific radio frequencies and to respond to the hailing of any coast guard or navy. A stateless vessel which fails to do so can be considered a pirate vessel and dealt with accordingly. Much like a soldier out of uniform picking up a gun on a battlefield and fighting, pirates are not subject to the Geneva Conventions. The laws of piracy, not warfare, apply.
This is useful, too, from a maritime expert:
It’s a pirate ship. The U.S. Marine Corps has a storied history of getting rid of pirate ships. They’re a threat no matter how you look at them. And this one contained 11 Tren de Aragua gang members, the world’s worst of the worst.
Darn right they needed to get rid of it. The Trump team was right in calling it self-defense.
Interesting…..damn interesting!
And as a Naval Captain he should have known this fact from Officer Candidate School training, every naval officer should know that regardless of ship or air as they can be ordered to attack those vessels and cannot refuse as they are legal orders.
I read an excellent article by Hans Mahncke from The Federalist, detailing the mess in Ukraine. Despite institutional corruption, Ukraine once acted as a nearly democratic buffer zone between NATO and Russia. Mahncke clearly shows how Obama and Biden interfered in Ukraine politics and brought us to where we are today.
The only thing he left out was how the leftist media lied to so many in the United States that we needed to act and teach a lesson to Putin for helping President Trump steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton.
The west coveted it Ukraine’s natural recoures and wanted to kneecap Russia.
The pro-Russian president of Ukraine who was ousted during the 2014 protests was Viktor Yanukovych. His removal followed widespread demonstrations against his decision to reject a partnership agreement with the European Union. This was incited by Obama, H. Clinton, Victoria Nuland and the CIA.
Viktor Yanukovych was not a great guy, but unlike Biden he admitted to election fraud and ran again, winning on a pro Russian stance he didn’t make up crimes and try to imprison his opposition.
Re-Run of Election: Following the protests and international pressure, the Supreme Court of Ukraine annulled the results and ordered a re-run of the election.
Viktor Yanukovych was pro-Russian during his second campaign in the 2010 presidential election. Here are some key aspects:
Closer Ties with Russia: Yanukovych emphasized the importance of strengthening Ukraine’s relationship with Russia, which resonated with voters in the eastern and southern regions, where pro-Russian sentiment was stronger.
Economic Recovery: He promised economic stability and growth, often advocating for policies that would align Ukraine more closely with Russian economic interests.
Alignment with Russia: During his campaign, Yanukovych positioned himself as a candidate who could restore Ukraine’s historical ties with Russia, contrasting with his predecessor Yushchenko, who had leaned towards the West and European integration.
Support from Pro-Russian Voters: His pro-Russian stance helped him secure significant support in eastern Ukraine, ultimately leading to his victory in the election, where he emphasized national unity and economic stability.
They also wanted Russia’s resources by using Ukraine as a base to subvert and conquer Russia for the Evil Empire they were building.
I think it was the main reason for overthrowing PDT in 2020.
Madmen.
Hans Mahncke’s excellent piece is linked and excerpted above, Andrew.
Fertility hasn’t collapsed – fertility isn’t the issue at all.
Fugly liberal females are the reason for reduced birth rates, coupled with the murdering of infants on a massive scale. Also a factors are cost of living versus wages and feminism driving females to work and forgo having children.
I think the vaxxes were and are still being given to mostly white anglo saxon people, including children. Vaxin American Children is a huge problem because it starts the day they are born and if parents resist, Child Protection Services will take your children away.
That depends upon where you live Annie. There are significant numbers in various areas of the country, particularly the south, that file religious exemptions and never have their children injected. There isn’t anything CPS can do. Where I’m at such exemptions are routinely given by simply requesting them.

Do you really think President Trump is pulling the strings here? I seriously doubt he even knew who Hernandez is and what he did.
Say it with me – “haaaaandlers”.
Hard to say but I agree with the US intelligence built, tolerated and supported the narco Terrorist. Trump is a lot more aware than people give him credit for and certainly more aware than Potato Joe Biden.
D.O.G.E. has exposed the USAID Department as an, unconstitutional, domestic funding source for the deep state.
As important as stopping the USAID department funding was, the biggest, deep state, defunding operation may be appearing in the details of President Trump’s “tariff deals” with “allies” of the USA.
Over the past 80+ years, as hostilities ended in WWII and the Korean “war”, did the “occupation” units working with the infant, home country’s intelligent agencies establish a “hidden” cash cache, residing in the country, but with access by only a select few American intelligence agency officials ….. updated over the decades?
Think of it as an early version of “5-eyes.”
Was President Trump able to obtained access to the current list of the unconstitutional $$$ amounts stashed by country and then proceeded to develop a plan to “claw back” the same, ….. ergo Tariff plans for each country would have that amount returned to the USA, no strings attached except they would be spent on MAGA / America First projects?
Many have never seen that type of “special fund” included in any past tariff deals.
If so, to date, the “clawing back”, returning, of the unconstitutional, hidden, cash caches (slush fund) stashed around the world, amounts to $1.5 trillion.
Not bad ……. except for the treasonous, traitors in the federal government who were expecting to be able to use those funds to continue their unconstitutional “get-Trump” schemes.
All part of President Trump’s reshaping the political battlefield in preparation for the 2026 elections.
EU $600 billion, aka $600,000,000,000
Japan $550 billion, aka $550,000,000,000
South Korea $350 billion, aka $350,000,000,000

Good morning Treepers. Its a good day to be a Patriot.
20% of what PDJT does makes no sense at all. But in my experience, 90% of that 20% makes perfect sense 1-6 months later in hindsite when the rest of the world figures out he knew what he was doing.
Think what JOH knows. Who he knows. What he knows about CIA, FBI, military leaders, coast guard, Customs, Border patrol, the Immigration caravans, who was smuggled into the US, human traffiking, who was muslim, who was chinese, who is crooked, who is dirty, who got drug money, who got favors.
Who was ordered killed. Who was ordered kidnapped.
Notice there is not a lot of protesting about his pardon from the usual Democratic, communist U.S. people. They are being vewy vewy quiet. sh-sh-sh
If THEY complain about his pardon, he’ll rat them out for sure. I hope JOH has good protection, at least until we get the information we need.
Think how powerful that knowledge is.

When it comes to the cost of products in the USA, President Trump has had a major impact on pricing in two areas.
He has reduced inflation overall and has dramatically cut the price of energy which benefits many areas of the economy.
On the other hand, he has dramatically increased the cost of illegal drugs by knocking out the boats that ferry the drugs to the US.
It doesn’t go unnoticed that there is a big disconnect between the inflation picture that President Trump’s team presents …….. and the inflation picture that the democrats and the fake media are complaining about.
Something doesn’t add-up.
What if, the democrats and fake media ……… a bunch of druggies ……… are really just complaining that they are now having to pay a higher price for their illegal drugs because President Trump has disrupted their supply chain.
So, the real story is that the democrats aren’t complaining about the price of eggs at the grocery store, …….. nope, they are complaining about the prices their drug suppliers are charging them for the illegal drugs they are delivering to them.
Let’s shine a little light on their drug addiction as the source of their daily stories on higher prices …… while completely ignoring the overall lower inflation % ……… example: the lower gas prices in red states.
MAGA / America first isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
I poked around the Internet on the price escalation of illegal drugs since Trump secured the border and started stopping drug from being smuggled into the country but I couldn’t find anything. There are obviously people in the know like undercover cops, but no one is talking. Common sense on supply and demand tells us the prices have to be increasing.
Jake,
Thanks for the comment.
Yup, you are right, supply and demand (hooked on drugs) demands a rise in the price of illegal drugs.
Perhaps, the time has come for the wall street boys to start publishing a daily inflation % for the price of illegal drugs.
They could develop a list of anonymous sources from the democrats and fake news media.
When a “reporter”, at the daily White House news briefing, complains about high inflation …… Karoline Leavitt could flash up on the screen the high inflation rate for illegal drugs ….. promising that it will go higher as President Trump continues his successful destruction of the traffickers and their vehicles.
Jake, have a great MAGA DAY/!
During covid, I did a googledeego on the cost of Ativan out on the streets…3 or so years ago, it was about$3-$5 per tablet, depending on location.
Brave search today, $1-$4 per pill depending on dosage.
Brave search on Fentanyl:
“The street cost of a fentanyl pill today varies significantly by location and form, ranging from as low as $0.50 to $5 per dose. In some areas, such as the Twin Cities metro, prices have dropped to $1–$2 per pill , while in Arizona, counterfeit fentanyl pills are priced between $1 and $3 each. Prices can be even lower in bulk or wholesale purchases, with reports indicating as low as 40 cents per pill in Seattle.”
Fentanyl is very cheap.
Don’t know about currently. Did overhear some interesting conversations at a local bar
a few days ago. A regular is a pleasant, highly educated person that has some pretty bad
vices. He was discussing one that night. When he was in college, a known amount of cocaine
was $189. Didn’t overhear the quantity.
Did overhear, however, that the SAME quantity is currently: $189. Which is 20 some years
later. Person is in his early- mid 40s.
What popped up in my mind? Everything else has zoomed price wise, maybe those that
brought drugs into our country has kept prices down to keep the demand zooming. CIA comes
to mind, with their past track record.
wondering if they just want to eliminate as many as possible so the prices are kept low for that reason?
not yet, maybe in a year/ the supply is so much, the pipeline is never empty — it would take a near lockdown of our country to achieve some sort of supply disruption, and taking out 15 speedboats coming from Venezuela is not even a blip of a disruption
Supply impacts cost, as does demand…am wondering if there will be a surge in crime…?
Aggiegirl,
Thanks for the comment.
“will there be a surge in crime?”
As a result of the drop in supply? Some, ….but it will be temporary.
Stay warm and have a GREAT MAGA DAY!
Thank you…I added up thread here, a few comments and Brave search…seems like right now, for the addicted, some drugs may still be affordable…but for how long?
The world is awash in hydrocarbons; geology + technology keep adding more every year.
Here is a focused summary of energy production by region as discussed by Doomberg in the podcast (based on the latest data he references, mostly 2024 from the Statistical Review of World Energy).
He frames the entire global energy picture in exajoules (EJ) of primary hydrocarbons (oil + gas + coal) produced vs consumed in 2024.
This is the cleanest way he presents regional energy strength/weakness.
“Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein urged the United States on Tuesday to reconsider its travel advisory for Iraq, citing improved security in the country.
Hussein’s remarks took place during his meeting with US Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Michael Rigas, who arrived in Iraq on Monday in a visit aiming to enhance US–Iraq ties.”

“The head of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) delivered his final briefing to the Security Council on Tuesday, marking the approaching end of the mission’s 22-year mandate on Dec. 31 and reflecting on what he called “hard-won gains” for Iraq.”

We live in an amazing world………….
imagine living in one that has no greed…..no corruption……..imagine real peace world wide instead of endless wars.
i turned 75 in October and can say I have never seen America so divided….
Prez Trump confuses me sometimes but I will stay on this train until the end……..for thinking of America after Trump
is quite un-nerving.
will we ever seen anyone held accountable……….I really doubt that.
it really is best to try and live your best life …the day to day one ……try to change what you can and pray for discernment.
it cost nothing to be kind……and a smile often changes alot…….be well Treepers
Yours was the first comment I read today. Maybe I should just stop right here while taking those last few lines to heart. Happy belated birthday, fellow Libran:)
Fionnagh………..much thanks my friend…..be well
Christ will rule in His millenial kingdom one day and we will see world peace for 1000 years, until humanity rebels against even that.
A world with no greed or corruption will happen when He creates a new heaven and a new earth and places the forgiven there where we will live in perfect peace and harmony for eternity.
In Catholic grade school, the nuns used to tell us that that the only time there was peace on earth, was the night when a little baby was born in the City of David….
Those bent tree trunks are amazing. I have to agree with your sentiments. A day at a time and living our best lives while we can.
My heart goes out to the younger generations and the unknown problems they will have to deal with as a fallout of the deep divisions.
bjorkdream, I could not agree more with everything you wrote.
Spot on and thank you.
“Be the change you want to see in the world” (Gandhi)
Isn’t that picture something else? S shaped trees determined to reach for the sun no matter the snow piled high on their roots.
And a belated Happy Birthday and a prayer for many more.
annie…..bless you
Wise words, my friend. Thank you for your unending kindness.

Green energy in New York making living there unaffordable
Electricity rates have surged ~20–30% since 2019 (now among the highest in the U.S. at ~$0.22–0.25/kWh residential), driven by subsidies for renewables and grid upgrades.
PPI estimates the CLCPA could add $500–$1,000 annually to household bills by 2030 without reforms.
Demand has decoupled from economic growth due to efficiency, but rising costs exacerbate affordability issues in low-income and environmental justice communities.
Key Findings: A “Clear and Undeniable Pattern of Failure”
PPI highlights that New York is behind schedule on nearly all major mandates, with only distributed solar on track. The report attributes this to “impractical timelines,” over-reliance on unproven technologies, the premature closure of carbon-free nuclear plants, and insufficient focus on economic realities.
November 2024 report by the Progressive Policy Institute (PPI), a centrist, Democratic-leaning think tank , titled “New York’s Climate Crossroads: Assuring Affordable Energy”, the report evaluates the state’s progress under the 2019 CLCPA—a landmark law signed by then-Governor Andrew Cuomo that sets ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions (e.g., 40% below 1990 levels by 2030, 85% by 2050) and achieving 70% renewable electricity by 2030 and 100% zero-emission electricity by 2040

Over at Faux business, San Francisco suddenly concerned about people?:
I want to know how many different ingredients in their various content lists, are from “industrial waste”, that has been repurposed for sale to these food makers.
You know, all the chemical names we can hardly pronounce.
https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/san-francisco-sues-10-major-food-manufacturers-over-ultraprocessed-foods
As one of the possible only folks here IN San Francisco, Faux is reporting from opposite World.
To put this sufficiently, right now there are Homeless dying on the COLD streets of San Francisco at this moment December 3rd at 5:27AM PST.
The suit is just either a Virtue Signal and/or squeeze for money.
A few years ago San Francisco put a Tax on soda to stop, Obesity. All that’s done is fatten the Shitty’s coffers as they’ve let the streets get dirtier.
And in case for get people forgot about how dirty my Home town is… and as corrupt…
I am in a flyover state/region…am aware, to some degree, of the homeless problem…its easy for the rest of us to lose focus on the many issues that plague certain regions. In Chicago, there are many that want to be homeless…off grid so to speak.
Virtue signal or cash grab re soda tax… Cash grab is more like it…?
@Aggiegirl, Being San Francisco, why not both!
Least we forget the Progressives here like to Multitask in failure!
you do not see this it in the Russia…
Actually, you didn’t see this in the United States as a whole, until Progressives came to power.
Progressivism is a Mental Disorder that rots everything it touches.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s Spending on Green Energy Programs
Governor Phil Murphy (D) has prioritized clean energy since taking office in 2018, aligning with goals like 100% clean electricity by 2035 (accelerated from 2050) and 50% renewables by 2030.
Based on official announcements and reports, under Gov. Murphy, cumulative investments exceed $5–7 billion from 2018–2025, with ~$2–3 billion directly from state/RGGI sources and the rest leveraging federal/private funds
New Jersey Electricity Rate Increases Under Governor Murphy
Residential electricity rates have risen significantly under Murphy (2018–2025), from 13.5¢/kWh in 2018 to ~22–25¢/kWh in 2025—one of the highest in the U.S. The cumulative increase is ~60–80%, driven by wholesale market auctions (PJM capacity costs up $12.5B in 2025), plant closures (net -1,500 MW exports), and green surcharges (1–2¢/kWh). A sharp 17–20% spike hit in June 2025, adding $20–25/month to average bills ($100–120 pre-spike). Average annual bills rose from ~$1,200 (2018) to ~$1,800+ (2025).

FTA “They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Those words have never been exemplified better than with the utter hatred towards President Donald J. Trump. Democrats and NeverTrump Republicans who despise President Trump will accept anything… ANYTHING… or anyone as long as whatever or whoever they’re accepting is somehow opposed to Trump. We saw it with Tesla. The vanguard of “green” transportation that was propped up by leftists for years turned into a target for vandalism and violence once Elon Musk joined the White House.
We’re seeing it with Somali corruption in Minnesota where citizens and officials are putting themselves at risk to block the administration from removing people who are stealing directly from Minnesotans. In their eyes, it’s okay to have their tax dollars sent to terrorists who will murder and conquer with it than allow President Trump to quickly fix the problem.We saw it last night when Aftyn Behn, who declared that she hates Nashville and everything the people of Nashville love, ended up winning the city by a landslide.
Just more evidence that Democrats hate President Trump and the country as Founded! I now fear the midterms!!! JMO
I offer this as one form of understanding that makes it easy to understand as 47 is using a different government ‘model’, Brave AI search:
“Machiavelli’s concept regarding those who oppose change centers on the idea that individuals who benefit from the existing order will actively resist any new reforms, while those who might benefit from the new order will offer only lukewarm support. ”
“This resistance arises because people are naturally skeptical of change and do not truly believe in new systems until they have experienced them firsthand. The reformer, therefore, faces enemies among those who prosper under the old system, while the potential beneficiaries of the new system remain hesitant due to fear and uncertainty. ”
“This dynamic makes initiating a new order exceptionally difficult, uncertain, and dangerous, as the reformer’s opponents will attack with zeal, while supporters defend only half-heartedly, placing the reformer in significant peril”
This was shown in one block of text, I broke it up to make it readable.
The second part, and third, of the quote is significant.
TDS is no longer syndromic. It’s a full-on addiction, and like most addictions, it’s self-destructive. These people can be dangerous and are capable of anything.
I have boycotted Nashville since 2019 COVID days. Stopped over for a night and the cops were on the street yelling at people over masks. I used to enjoy my occasional night in the city.
Same trip returning though Nashville I stayed outside the city, no mask requirement, nobody gave a S&%$. I haven’t been back.
