Community, here is another article that you should be sure to read:
https://amgreatness.com/2025/12/07/poison-in-the-brain/
Random quote teaser:
“That last one is a challenge for the democratic imperative. Imagine a football team voting for every play. They would be fortunate to win a single game. Imagine Michelangelo polling his assistants as to how he should decorate the Sistine Chapel. Geniuses are often distinguished by not behaving like others around them; they are often unpleasant people or loners whom democratic and bureaucratic imperatives would stifle: Michelangelo, Pascal, Beethoven, Poincaré, Melville, Nietzsche, and Dostoyevsky.”
But there is more to this article than you might think. “It continues …”
Uh…Beethoven was hearing impaired…LOL. That might have been a blessing if he had detractors criticizing….
Sorry Mike, am going nutsy due to real cabin fever…locked in due to cold…
I hear you Aggiegirl. At nearly 10,000ft here in the Colorado mountains the view is awesome but cabin fever is already starting to grip me – and a long winter yet to come!!
Gorgeous view!
Nice…but as I have gotten older…can’t handle the altitude…
As a result…I’m a low country guy…
At 74 yrs old I also realize my high altitude time is coming to a close. Maybe one or two more years, then I’ll be a flatlander as we affectionately call them. I do believe however with cabin fever closing in early this year I should proactively disavow any posts I might make between now and springtime.
Altitude sickness was really bad for me at 11,000 ft. I didn’t understand what was happening. I’ll stick to the ocean from now on.
It’s a strange thing. I hate being at altitude as I get older. Go skiing at 10000, get off the lift and ask myself….what the hell am I going up here. Yet, flying isn’t a problem……Strange…..
So you are above the clouds! WoW
You in Leadville?
< Imagine a football team voting for every play. They would be fortunate to win a single game.>
That explains the Jets 🙂
HEY! Leave my Jets alone! But, also…. yeahhhhhh
The Giants apply here as well.
Allowing the team to vote on personnel decisions could only improve the Cowboys. Or the public. Or a lemur
Thank you for sharing this article.
“Real thought requires patience.” So true.
Peoples’ ability to recognize, or distinguish unique gifts in other people
is often slow, or are reluctant
(due to envy, jealousy instead of loving thy neighbor?) to acknowledge in real time.
Sadly, as such, some people get recognized – after their life (and contributions to help make this a better place)
here.
imho
Love thy neighbors
Cassidy projects optimism on winning bipartisan support for his health care plan
https://archive.is/VEyeh
Cassidy is owned by the pharma and hospital lobby. Anything coming from him is pure garbage. Cassidy still tells people mRNA death shots are wonderful. He is still fighting to get RFK Jr out of gov’t.
If the Rs are going to rely on compromised trash like Cassidy, the Rs will never fix healthcare.
Calling him “trash” gives him more value than he merits. Donate to defeat him.
Blake Miguez appears to be the preferred MAGA choice. dogsmaw from Louisiana states he is the right choice.
We have to start eliminating those who backstab every available chance. It is up to us to begin the corrections.
He’s up for reelection. 👎🏼
I’m listening to the PBS audio of the current SCOTUS session. They are discussing the president’s power to remove members and leaders of “independent agencies.” The person arguing to protect them from being fired is making EMOTIONAL arguments (which is not an argument). “Chaos!” “Can you image?” The right leaning side asked of him “is the president charged with faithfully executing all of the laws?” The guy started stammering and stuttering. The next left-justice then “saves” this guy by saying “prosecutorial discretion? That’s what you meant right?”
Whenever I hear emotional arguments, I know they lost the argument.
SCOTUS will rule in Trump’s favor. You can take that to the bank.
you have more faith in the SCOTUS than i do, apparently. roberts entire raison d’etre has become an emotional appeal to bipartisanship and the shallow appearance of impartiality.
Calm down. We’ll win this one. It’s obvious the President has been successfully taking back powers the Presidency has lost over the years. Once secured it’s on.
Agreed. Roberts will probably write the majority opinion, but there will be some language indicating that the opinion does not apply to the Fed, because it’s somehow different, special or whatever. Giving Trump the authority to fire Powell would probably be too far to go for Roberts (of course, if it’s a 6-3 opinion with five in the majority having a more expansive view of executive power than Roberts, who knows?)
Roberts is a life-long fence sitter. I’m surprised he can sit anywhere with all the splinters in his ash.
great illustrative picture
I believe the President has hinted to Roberts that he is now beholden to the constitution because President Trump now has his compromising blackmail info Bidens DOJ had.
You have some evidence for this or basically just a gut feeling based on seeing more favorable rulings?
Gut instinct, recent rulings and the powers the President is gaining at an increasing rate. It’s playing out as people more knowledgeable than me have predicted in this treehouse both long ago and recently.
Roberts doesn’t need to be blackmailed. He’s one of them and always has been. He agrees with the uniparty on everything.
It’s obvious by looking at Roberts he has a fetish of dressing up as a woman.
In other words he’s a closeted cross dresser.
fence sitter my ass
The key words there are “Independent Agencies”.
I agree.
If executive agency heads do not derive their authority from the singular Executive Officer selected by all the Sovereign People in their Honest Elections, from whence does their authority spring?
“The fabric of American empire ought to rest on the solid basis of THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE. The streams of national power ought to flow from that pure, original fountain of all legitimate authority.”
Funny; they all bought $300 seats to watch “Hamilton”—and learned nothing.
Rest in the Vine: Sigma Alex Hamilton: Semper Paratus, People!
They all work for us, not that you can tell.
We are those We The People that the Constitution mentions- for those that forgot.
Merry Christmas and thanks for the Vine.
I’m not even sure how anyone can call Republicans the party of small government anymore.
It has been that way for decades now.
Autopen Jackson most likely could not pass either a constitution test or a basic biology test. She should not ever be on any court, let alone the Supreme Court.

🧵 THREAD: NCRI’s Analysis: How Abuse of 𝕏’s Platform boosted Nick Fuentes
A few days ago,
@elonmusk
got “ratioed” by Nick Fuentes.
The air quotes are intentional. There was nothing organic about the ratio.
This morning, Network Contagion Research Institute (@ncri_io) released a forensic breakdown of how Nick Fuentes’ sudden rise over the past year was driven by synthetic amplification, foreign engagement clusters, and coordinated raid behavior.
I read the full report and asked NCRI some clarifying questions about their methodology. The findings are staggering…..
….Fuentes’s “influence” did not emerge entirely organically. Instead, it was manufactured by unusually fast, unusually concentrated, and unusually foreign engagement patterns, the kind normally associated with coordinated manipulation networks.
Cont reading thread….
So, is the fake amplification and rise of Fuentes due to “Groypers + overseas bot energy + synchronized raids”?….

Or is he a Fed?

And Fuentes on J6 at the Capitol…

proud boys leader wass similar..well second leader. when the joke became a boogie man
Why wasn’t he arrested for J6? Listening to this he should have been one of those taken in. Hmm. Cannot stand this fraud or tool of the FBI or whatever he is. He needs to be called out and revealed for what he truly is.
As some of us suspected….
It was definitely weird how his groypers started posting here all of a sudden, right around the time he started getting attention on X etc. Then there was the reveal that some of the followers were not even in the USA…
Thanks for bringing Datarepublican’s research here, TM10!
he rose to aid uniparty labeling a man almost dead multiple non publicized times a rascist
He was originally elevated by Ben Shapiro.
There you go.
Well that fits.
Mystery deepens as to why it took FBI nearly 5 years to finally bust the suspected J6 pipe bomber
(By Miranda Devine)
https://nypost.com/2025/12/07/opinion/mystery-deepens-as-to-why-it-took-fbi-over-5-years-to-finally-bust-the-suspected-j6-pipe-bomber/
They wanted to make sure he qualified for his FBI pension?
brilliant.
The FIB knew he was the pipe bomb layer in April 2021. But following up on that would have destroyed the State narrative:
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/12/bidens-fbi-knew-brian-cole-was-january-6/
The three primary characters responsible for enabling, and arguably profiting from, the fraud are Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Rep. Ilhan Omar.
The invaluable Discover the Networks reveals Walz is a staunch leftist and also a useful idiot of the Chinese Communist Party. His campaign for Vice President revealed him to be a serial liar and a self-professed “knucklehead.”
According to DTN Keith Ellison is a committed racist, leftist, America-hating Muslim and tireless advocate for criminals, the more violent and Islamist/revolutionary the better.
Ilhan Omar, according to DTM is a tribal Somali, an anti-white racist, an antisemite, and anti-American Muslim who married her brother to enable immigration and student loan fraud while already married to someone else.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2025/12/a_minnesota_fraud_primer.html
The very fact that Ilhan still hasn’t been deported speaks volumes about the lack of enforcement of our immigration laws.
And a weak/scared Republican base.
Speaking of which, where are we with the recall to active duty of Kelly from Arizona?
This new pope is as insane as the last one. His new message? Christians shouldn’t be afraid of islam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
https://www.frontpagemag.com/pope-denounces-fear-of-islam/
BIG SNIP:
““Perhaps,” the pontiff continued, “we should be a little less fearful and look for ways to promote authentic dialogue and respect. I know that, in practice, this has not always been the case. I know that fears persist in Europe.” He was speaking of European Christians fearing Muslims, while saying nothing about the sharp rise in rape and other crimes, as well as jihad activity, that has accompanied the Muslim migrant influx into Europe.
As far as Pope Leo was concerned, the only problem worth noting in Europe was the native populations’ xenophobia. The fears, he said, were “often fueled by people opposed to immigration who seek to exclude those who come from another country, another religion, or another ethnic background.” He said that Christians should be “working together” with Muslims to make “dialogue and friendship” a reality, and added: “I think that one of the great lessons that Lebanon can offer the world is to show a country where Islam and Christianity are present and respected, and where it is possible to live together, to be friends.”
The pope was no doubt unaware of the fact, but two weeks before he issued this call, an Islamic scholar in the pontiff’s home city of Chicago offered a radically different view. On Nov. 14, Mohammad Nusairat said: “Unfortunately, these days we don’t repeat this enough, or we don’t have this doctrinal concept firm in our minds – that Islam did not come to coexist.” He quoted Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, saying: “Islam is always superior and should never be surpassed.” Nusairat added: “Islam is raised high, and nothing is raised above Islam.”
To those who would call for Christians and Muslims “to live together, to be friends,” Nusairat declared: “We can’t think of Islam that it came to live with these other religions in the sense that Islam is a religion amongst those religions, and they have a share with the truth, and they have a share of justice, and they have a share of the correct worship Allah. Islam came to correct all of that. Islam came to remove the oppression of all those religions, and it is the only truth, and it is the only way to justice.””
More in the linked article.
What on earth is this pope thinking? Is he unaware of all the murders of Christians around the world? Was he unaware of ISIS and the atrocities they committed? Does he not understand that muslims will only be peaceful when they have conquered the world?
Good grief!
The so-called pope needs to be recalled, replaced, fired or whatever legal method can be used to get a true catholic pope in place.
A real pope on earth hasn’t been seen for a long time. The seat is now controlled by the underworld and has always been akin to a false prophet.
He’s also a Two-State Solution- guy.
Just another Deep Church Commie.
ps; the Vatican walls were installed to stop Muslim invaders. Start there, poser.
🎯
Mr Pope! Tear down that wall!!
The papal figurehead is like the British Manarchy. They are owned, controlled and held by the enemy.
“Pope” has been a Judas goat for a long, long time.
{ JUDAS GOAT Definition & Meaning – Dictionary.com }
He’s a communist, traitor. Just like the last Pope. I’m Catholic, and we are fighting the deep-church globalist commies just like as Americans we are fighting it in our government. 0 difference.
My prayers are with you and all Catholic brothers and sisters in Christ.
🙏💕
The pope authorized an Islamic prayer room at the Vatican, thereby according to Islam qualifying the Vatican as a mosque.
Can he name a mosque that has a Christian prayer room? Anywhere?
Just sayin’….
Talk about Enabling bad behavior, sheesh.
When they fling the gates of the Vatican open for around 10,000 Islamo-Goons, real nasty ones like Somali’s, then he can speak.
He’s safe behind his wall and has had no interaction with these corrupt foreigners. They are not nice people and they won’t be nice to him either.

Concerning Pearl Harbor and our present situation in Europe: I could not write anything for various reasons in the last few days (no, I am quite healthy), but now have some spare moments to wonder whether the sacrifices made by our parents, grand-parents, and great-grandparents have been thrown away by too many of their descendants.
In high school, a priest in Religion class alerted us to (what he considered to be) the very real possibility that Pearl Harbor was “planned” by Franklin Roosevelt, i.e. that he had deliberately maneuvered the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor by offering a sitting duck target and refusing to continue the diplomatic efforts of their ambassador (Prince Konoye) to prevent war.
It would not be supererogatory to state a claim that Prince Konoye was so horrified by U.S. efforts after the war (from General Douglas Macarthur) to exonerate Emperor Hirohito and not prosecute him for war crimes, while Konoye himself was being classified as a war criminal, that he committed suicide.
Because of my teacher’s remarks, I was able to find several books in the Dayton Public Library: John T. Flynn’s The Truth About Pearl Harbor (from 1944!) and from 1954, Rear Admiral Robert Theobald’s The Final Secret of Pearl Harbor.* He in fact was a witness to the attack at Pearl Harbor, and thus his book offered a first-hand account. The evidence in these books (and another which I cannot find today) verified the suspicion that Roosevelt had lured the Japanese into attacking Pearl Harbor. Roosevelt had already been itching for a fight with Nazi Germany in the North Atlantic through a naval base in Iceland and other methods.
e.g. “I say a supporter of… Mr. Roosevelt cannot say that Mr. Roosevelt had not decided on an all-out war.
He cannot say that Mr. Roosevelt was seeking a formula for peace in the Pacific when he delivered to
Japan an ultimatum which neither he nor his Ambassador nor Mr. Hull believed would be
accepted.
Mr. Roosevelt cannot claim he was stabbed in the back, without asking us to believe that after giving an ultimatum to a prospective enemy he turned his back to provide a target for the blow.
He cannot plead surprise as an excuse for not being fully on guard against a war which he entered with his eyes wide open.”
For the entire (short) book, see: https://www.heritage-history.com/site/hclass/secret_societies/ebooks/pdf/flynn_pearl.pdf
A disturbing feature is the economic factor: war as a method to end The Great Depression, which after more than a decade had never really been solved by any of The New Deal programs.
Nevertheless, as John T. Flynn mentioned in his book, once America was in the war, the only thing to do was to win it, and the Americans alive at that time did indeed win the war on both fronts. Their sacrifices were legion and legendary, both on the home front and on the battle lines.
“FREEDOM!!!” Americans were fighting the war to protect and preserve their own freedom from dictators and to bring freedom to the people then under the heels of Nazism and Fascism.
The people under the heel of Communism, however, apparently did not deserve Freedom, as the mass-murdering dictator Stalin, who had already killed 10-12 million Ukrainians and hundreds of thousands of Russians and others in Siberian death camps, became an American ally!
But over 80 years ago, Fighting For Freedom was the point of the war!
Today, we read almost daily of how Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, even Freedom of Thought itself is being restricted ever more by our former ally in a “special relationship,” by the one whom we were supposedly protecting the most from Nazism, i.e. Great Britain, where Moslems now seem to have Freedom of Religion, but Christians are increasingly muzzled.
George Orwell’s worst fears of Totalitarianism, expressed in his novels 1984 and Animal Farm and other writings, have been increasingly confirmed by Great Britain in the past 50 years: cameras are now nearly everywhere, people can be arrested for praying in public, even silently praying in public!
France has allowed Moslems from their former colonies to re-populate their own land, and even paid them to do so. I saw Moslems 50 years ago in France, who seemingly were perpetually unemployed and who stood in groups on street corners puffing their lives away on cancer sticks and glowering menacingly at those daring to glance at them. Modern French philosophers pushed so-called Post-Modernism into the schools, in which Truth became a “construct” of Culture, i.e. a matter of opinion, and French egalitarianism turned this into “all opinions are valid and created equal,” and Objective Truth was cast by the wayside. This ridiculous concept made its away across the Atlantic and infected our universities.
If the grandfather of Charlemagne, Charles Martel, who pushed back a probing force of Moslems in A.D. 732 at the Battle of Tours, could see France today, he would be quite properly appalled!
In Germany, I have seen first-hand over a span of thirty years how patriotism was constantly denigrated in the schools and in the “kulcher” as something “dangerous,” “old-fashioned,” and forever tainted by Nazism. Becoming a “world citizen” was now much preferred over being known as a German, even though World War II had been over for 50, 60, 70, and now 80 years. The Germans also thought they were smart by allowing their former World War I allies, the Turks, into the country for rebuilding it after the destruction of World War II. They expected the Turks to leave and not stay: some did, but the majority stayed and many became addicted to the German welfare system.
And now, a conservative political party called The Alternative for Germany has been attacked as “pro-Nazi” and restricted for daring to opine that allowing more Moslems into Germany is a bad idea.
In our own country, thanks to George W. Bush and the so-called “Patriot Act,” we see increasing surveillance and an accompanying denigration of our own freedoms through the “FISA courts.” We also watch an increasing willingness – even a gleeful willingness – among the Communists in our midst (also known misleadingly as “Democrats”) for ever more restrictions against our freedoms.
And so, where are the protests against this erosion of Freedom, the Freedom for which our ancestors supposedly sacrificed in World War II?
Where are the hundreds of millions of people demanding an end to the attacks on their own freedoms, indeed on their own Judaeo-Christian civilization, the civilization of Homer and Saint Augustine, of Aquinas and Spinoza, of Da Vinci and Thomas Jefferson, of Beethoven and Dickens, of Thomas Edison and Robert Frost, of John Locke and Albert Einstein, attacks on the civilization which created all of the modern comforts and placed men on the moon, attacks made by their own fellow citizens?
Have those soporific comforts and mesmerizing technology created an unholy marriage between Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984, where people are mentally and spiritually anesthetized into robotism by Techno-Kulcher?
In America, fortunately, we have President Donald TRUMP and our Make America Great Again movement standing against the anti-freedom, high-techno-totalitarian trends of our age. Nothing is guaranteed, however: in my opinion, this is simply the beginning of the war and we have won some battles, and only some, and a counter-offensive by the forces of Global Communism is guaranteed.
I leave you with the pessimistic regrets of a 100-year old British war veteran, who thinks, unfortunately – yet correctly – that his sacrifices seem to have been in vain, at least for England.
I should mention that today is – for Catholics – the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, an image of the Virgin Mary
to whom America has been dedicated.

Right on. With what we now know for certain to what level the powers that be will manipulate and cheat I believe FDR allowed and encouraged Pearl Harbor.
Your posts are generally enlightening and/or engaging But this one was exceptional. Thank you.
You are quite welcome!
Mentioning the books by John Flynn (also famous for his book about the loss of China to Mao Tse-Tung: While You Slept ) and Rear Admiral Robert Theobald brought to mind many other sources explaining the background to our present situation.
A good number of outraged diplomats from Poland and other betrayed countries ending up behind the Iron Curtain wrote books in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. Their books revealed just how many Communists or Communist sympathizers (whom we once called “fellow travelers”) were in the U.S. and British governments.
Stanislaw Mikolajczyk – a member of the Polish Government-in-Exile during World War II – wrote a scathing indictment called The Rape of Poland/The Pattern of Soviet Aggression.
One of the most outraged authors was an American anti-Communist diplomat in the Roosevelt-Truman State Department: Arthur Bliss Lane wrote a book whose title says everything: I Saw Poland Betrayed!
If you can find those books, they are highly recommended!
You may or may not see this, but to add a touch to your info, pick up Thomas Fleming’s The New Dealer’s War. Essentially agrees/argues the same point concerning the overall approach to Japan in refraining from a strong effort for peace, and leading to Pearl Harbor
Additionally, presents compelling argument that Roosevelt’s “unconditional surrender” demand extended the war by ignoring any effort by any Germans (military or political) to circumvent the fuhrer and gain peace prior to complete disaster. Result was a Stalinist Soviet takeover of Eastern Europe. Still suffering the effects of that.
Thank you for the recommendation: from what I can tell, his story is on target.
All could be true. But on the ground were major mistakes also. Radar, which was in it’s infancy, was being used to track American planes and little did radar operators no, Japanese planes making their way to Pearl Harbor.
In a documentary I used to show in school, operators sent word to Hickam Field about a possible large mass heading toward Pearl Harbor. When they got through the man said, a lieutanant, that it possibly was flight of B-29’s coming in from San Francisco for the excuse. Well, the radio operator said, he knew nothing of that, besides it was coming from a different direction and larger than anything he had ever seen. Major mistake………the Japanese attack force.
Also, the Japanese midget sub being sunk at the entrance of Pearl Harbor by the USS Ward, at 6:37 am, making it the first casualty of the Pacific War. Why this intrusion was never sent up the chain of command was inexcusable also. Major mistake No. 2…….
https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/news/press/japanese-mini-subs/
And of course, which actually happened first, the cutting off of oil and scrap metal that the Japanese were using in the Pacific to decimate enemies was also Japan’s last warning sign. They knew they did not have the resources and they needed to hit Pearl Harbor immediately.
Don’t forget, his law enforcement was just following orders.

Hearing the same.
Classified special ops, allegedly.
And if anyone asks for news reports, why should we know the specifics?
It’s not like the government told us about all the troops we had inside Ukraine all these years (including, apparently, at least one General who died during a Russian military strike on, I think, Lvov).
God bless our troops.
Go get ’em boys, and come back whole.

So when you remove poor Republican and independent voters from their healthcare (Medicaid and ACA) when they get sick between jobs or get sick and lose their job because of it after 01/01/2017: they stop voting for either party’s candidates. That’s why the GOP will lose Congress (both branches) in the next three elections to the Democrats and we will have a divided government not seen since George W. Bush because of it.
“Independents Drive Approval of ACA to New High of 57%: 91% of Democrats, 63% of independents and 15% of Republicans approve of the 2010 healthcare law.”
Say goodbye Republicans to the many independent and some Republican voters in the following three elections. How you feel about this isn’t going to change it. The smart move would have been to let poor sick voters keep their healthcare and promote that to increase the party’s voter base. But, the GOP threw away that opportunity when they threw away these voters. Enjoy the Democrat Congress that your Republican legislatures voted to bring back into power with their “big beautiful bill.” It’s all going to happen.
https://news.gallup.com/poll/699449/independents-drive-approval-aca-new-high.aspx
People need to start taking these growing numbers of Independents with a grain of salt. Most Independents are really Democrats in disguise. Take it from me, a MA resident for over 70 years. In MA, 27% of registered voters are Democrats, 8% are Republicans, and 64% are registered as unenrolled, another term for Independents. The fact that this state has had a complete Democrat Congressional delegation for the last 30 years, except for 2 years of Scott Brown taking Ted Kennedy’s seat when he died, shows that Independents for the most part are really Democrats.
We also see this now in these updated state registered voter stats where Democrats are losing voters, while Republicans are gaining, yet Independents are gaining far more than Republicans are. Many Democrats just can’t make the move to register as Republicans, and when push comes to shove, most of them will continue voting for the Democrat.
Elections. Are. Fake.
Especially in Massachusetts.
Even when the only Republican politician I know switched to an Independent, Sen Jim Jeffords in 2001, he caucused with the Democrats and his switch changed the Senate control from the Republicans to the Democrats.
So don’t trust these polls that have Independents agreeing more with the Dems than with the Republicans.
Poor independents getting removed from healthcare along with their families when they become ill has an effect of them stopping voting for the Republicans who are doing that to them. Mark my words. Congress blue, thanks to Republicans thinning their voter ranks instead of expanding their base over healthcare.
In the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, received approximately 77.3 million votes (49.8%), while Kamala Harris, the Democratic candidate, garnered about 75 million votes (48.3%). And the Democrats ran an unpleasant DEI candidate with a below average IQ and an inability to communicate at even an average level. Razor thin margin anyways and so the Republicans decide to throw their poor Independent and Republican voters away for the next three elections. You’re in denial. Republicans will lose Congress when these people and their families finally realize after 01012027 that they’re out in the street without healthcare when they get sick and lose their job. My crystal ball says “It is decidedly so.”
It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.
That’s all I’ve been saying. Many of their arguments for what should be are valid. I’m simply pointing out that those arguments are non-sequiturs practically speaking as the Republican representatives they voted for have ensured the opposing party climbs back into power when poor independent and Republican voters find out they are going to be removed from Medicaid and the ACA when they get sick and lose their job or get sick between jobs. Voting is a numbers game.
ACA popularity will climb back up higher than it was last year with Democrats and Republicans, not just Independents, after 01012027 when the mass removal of poor sick U.S. citizen voters from Medicaid and ACA begins in earnest. The political left MSM is going to have a field day with the many stories of poor sick Americans and their families twisting in the wind without healthcare for the 2028 election and beyond. GOP couldn’t say no to the monied interests who fund their campaigns and offer them revolving door opportunities to turn healthcare into a promotional tool to build their base with these voters. They could have had a party dynasty, not just a razor thin majority for one term. It can still be patched but they want to go the other way and make it more punishing for this economic demographic and their voters in this economic demographic who are going to stop voting for them moving forward as they discover their predicament. In my opinion, it’s a huge opportunity lost by the Republican Party to achieve party dominance for the foreseeable future. They turned an opportunity for party dynasty into a MAGA intermission in my opinion. That’s why I go on about it.
So they don’t mind others paying their bills? Or others unable to make the deductible because their premiums went so high because they subsidize the first persons bill?
I’ve got news for this guy. Most poor so-called Independents were not voting for Republicans even when they were getting their ACA subsidies.
44% of independent voters voted Republican in the last election. Gallup Polling shows that 50% of Americans living below the poverty level identified as political independents.
Donald Trump 49.8% of the vote while Kamala Harris received 48.3%. And Kamala was an unpleasant DEI candidate with a below average IQ and an inability to communicate at even an average level.
With such a razor thin margin between the parties at election time, it is undesirable to bring harm to a material number of your own voters with respect to something as intimate as healthcare when they need it. If you want to win elections, and you’re about equal with your opponent, you don’t implement a program to remove a material number of your own voters from healthcare. You have to have more voters than the opposition to win elections, new fewer.
Typo: “new fewer” should read “not fewer.”
I keep wondering what happened to the state governments having jurisdiction over everything – everything – not specifically stated to be in the federal bailiwick. Seems to me, since health care/insurance isn’t specifically reserved to the federal government that it doesn’t belong there.
Not that our oversized government has paid much attention to the Constitution for the last however many decades.
U mad bruh?
/s
No not mad, simply concerned. I believe the GOP has blundered with respect to removing their poor voters from Medicaid and the ACA leaving them with no healthcare when they get sick and lose their job or get sick between jobs. I view the GOP and most of their voters as in deep denial about the effect this is going to have on these people’s voting behavior after 01012027 when their removal from subsidized healthcare begins nationwide if they get sick and lose their job or are between jobs and become ill. If they had any sense, they would patch the problem and sell it as a benefit while promoting the MAGA agenda which is exactly what’s needed for international trade, immigration, the domestic labor market, etc. They messed up and if they don’t fix it, they’ll lose both the House and the Senate over it within three elections. I think they’ll retain the executive branch but who knows with the razor thin margin we saw in 2024 against a really poor Democrat candidate; when these poor voters wake up and see their safety net is gone if they have a serious medical problem and lose their job or it happens between jobs.
Not necessarily, Ron B. I changed my registration from Republican to Unaffiliated in 2016 due to disgust with the Republican cowards. In NC I can ask for either ballot. I vote in person so I can be sure to get the ballot I want.
Because the states can be pretty dang sneaky and can change the rules, I check to be sure the rules haven’t changed before every election to make sure I can still vote republican. I can always check my voting record on line and as expected my votes have all been for republicans.
Even though my late husband passed away in 2018, I check his too before every election to make sure no one is voting in his name.
So according to the way you think, this makes me look like a democrat switching over to a republican.
I said most, not all. You are the exception, not the rule.
They weren’t approving the ACA…they were wanting the covid subsidies to continue.
I bet if you told them the ACA premiums were going to stay high like they are now (without temporary covid subsidies) they would not approve of ACA at all.
Independents are wishy washy and flip floppers, but they are also not single issue voters.
And have about a 6 week memory retention, prior to elections…
Woe and trouble and toil!
“American” is a concern troll. There are a couple more of them roaming at gateway pundit singing the praises of Odouchebagcare and how the lapse of the subsidies will cost MAGA the midterms. They/he/it all claim the UCA has saved millions of lives and has been a fantastic success. Stupidest misinfo campaign ever.
I am concerned about the Republicans shedding their poor voters rather than expanding their base. You’re right about that part.
MAGA message is to expand jobs!
Again, a non-sequitur because whether the voters below the poverty line who voted Republican in the last election are already working or not; they still lose subsidized healthcare when they lose their job because of illness or become ill between jobs. They are all threatened with the loss of subsidized healthcare when they become sick and lose their job or become ill between jobs.
With the margin between the parties in national elections razor thin; these independent and Republican voters wake up on 01012027 and discover that if they get sick and let go from their job or are between jobs and get sick: they are removed from Medicaid and the ACA and left to twist in the wind unless they deteriorate to the point of frailty or total disability.
Biden’s Own Advisors Warned Him His Open Border Policies Would Lead to Humanitarian Crisis

THE AUTOPEN CROOK DIDN’T CARE.
According to Fox … Congress is trying to mandate the number of troops and roles played by the US in NATO and South Korea. This usurps the President’s role as commander and Chief of the armed forces.
Hopefully the President vetoes the Bill and sues if necessary … as this clearly violates separation of powers within the Constitution. It would also set a dangerous precedent whereby Congress goes beyond their powers of the purse to actually dictating Military deployments.
It is probably that easy to vote and receive welfare, Medicaid etc. Listening to the country going down the drain is infuriating.
infuriating and rage inducting.
“Reprocity” is not a word.

The National Retail Federation (NRF) was forecasting a 40% decline in part time work this holiday season and that data is coming in the lowest since the GFC and Trump is talking about 4% US GDP growth in 2026?
The valley between AI’s benefits, so called, and reskilling, so called, gets deeper every day. The best career for the next generation is Politics. The best short sale is college degrees. The most unspoken truth about the new America is: If you are not rich already, you will probably not be rich.
JPM just released a report saying the all-in price tag for data centers is $5 trillion. Everyone is a little concerned about where the money will come from to pay for it once all this wonderland construction is done. But not to worry about that now. Think instead about the effect $6 trillion had during the pandemic and we don’t have a pandemic.
If you’re in your 20s or 30s, borrowing money for a degree is the same as dropping out of high school in the 1980s or getting the jab in 2020. About 1 million college grads will apply for jobs at JPM and GS in 2025. Fewer than 7000 will be hired. And fewer than 700 or 0.0007% will be working there a year later.
If you can’t swim. You can’t drown.
A quote from an unknown author.
“I’m now starving off the money I always dreamed of making”
My first job out of college was at Goldman Sachs in their Investment Research group in the early 2000s. I was there for 15+ years before deciding to pursue another opportunity outside the firm.
While the numbers have gotten larger, those percentages have always been consistent. After a couple years, I was the only person from my incoming class still working there.
High-paying, high-stress jobs aren’t for everyone.
“If it was easy, everyone would be doing it.”
If that stat is true…..then those 40% must be some of the most selfish people on the planet.
Curious…I wouldn’t know the answer to this…some might…
Given the strikes on the “narco-terrorists”…has the price of drugs…cocaine etc… gone up in price?
That would be a tell…if the price has risen, supply has decreased…meaning the attacks are having an effect…
If price is stable or actually decreased then the attacks have no effect…
Supply and demand…
There’s also a northern rout that the drugs are entering into this country from, I have not heard of any drone strike on dog sleds, so I doubt if taking out one avenue (southern maritime drug running) would affect the prices that much. I have no first, second or third hand knowledge though.
That’s a great question to ask.
No idea what the real answer is……
Although a bit different…….. The state of Michigan added a 24% tax on legal pot sales. The pot “industry” is screaming they can’t survive with the high tax. LOL

A BAD APPLE AT DOJ, A ROTTEN “LEFTOVER”
STUNNING UPDATE: Jocelyn Ballantine – the Lead Attorney Assigned to J6 Pipe Bomber Case – Notoriously Pressured the Proud Boys to Lie About Trump’s Involvement in Jan. 6 or Face Years in Prison
[As we asked last week… Why is this demon still working at the DOJ?
Why was she not cut loose?
Why is she not being prosecuted?
Jocelyn Ballantine was one of the Department of Justice attorneys assigned to Michael Flynn’s prosecution. The Department admitted altering evidence in the case following a reprimand from the judge. She called this an inadvertent mistake at the time.
Ballantine also provided altered documents to Sidney Powell, and submitted an FBI interview report with redactions to information that was crucial to the case, according to En-Wikipedia. When the US government threw out the case against General Flynn, Ballantine declined to sign the motion to dismiss the charges against him.
She is as crooked as they come.
Jocelyn Ballantine was later assigned to the infamous Proud Boys Trial.
Ballantine and the Biden prosecutors made up evidence, pressured the defendants to lie to the court, planted evidence in the Proud Boys chat group, and led the charge to send the innocent men to prison for over a decade each.
Ballantine is scum.
On Saturday, investigative journalist Julie Kelly told Steve Bannon on the War Room that not only is Ballantine still working at the DOj – But she was assigned the January 6 pipe bomber case this week.’
What the hell is going on?
Julie Kelly: I wish that this was not true. I guess my only thought here is that the new leadership at the DOJ and FBI are not aware of who this individual is, Jocelyn Ballantine, who was the lead prosecutor.
…But there’s more.
This weekend former Proud Boy President Enrique Tarrio joined Viva Frei on his podcast and broke more news on the infamous Jocelyn Ballantine.
According to Enrique, Ballantine tried to coerce a false plea deal implicating President Trump in order to spare Enrique from prison time.
Enrique shared this fact with The Gateway Pundit earlier this year but we did not know which DOJ prosecutor it was who attempted to pressure him to implicate Donald Trump with the events on January 6. Now we know that it was Jocelyn Ballantine!
This is a shocking development. This woman should be fired and prosecuted instead she’s assigned one of the top cases in the country!..]

Panama’s Martyrs’ Day, observed annually on January 9, is a national day of mourning commemorating the anti-American riots that erupted on January 9, 1964, over the sovereignty of the Panama Canal Zone. The unrest began when Panamanian students attempted to raise their national flag alongside the U.S. flag in the Canal Zone, a move that was opposed by Canal Zone police and residents, leading to violent clashes.
Check out the SIZE of the 2nd containment shed!
Chernobyl reactor’s protective shield was so damaged by a drone strike that it’s not confining radiation anymore: IAEA
· A steel shield preventing radiation spread from the Chernobyl site isn’t working as intended anymore.
· The IAEA said on Friday that the New Safe Confinement shelter had “lost its primary safety functions.”
· The shield was hit in February by a drone strike, which created a 160-square-foot hole.
The steel structure sealing off the Chernobyl nuclear disaster site has suffered so much damage that it’s no longer containing radiation effectively, the International Atomic Energy Agency said on Friday.
The agency, or IAEA, wrote in an update that its team had visited the protective shield in the prior week and found that it “had lost its primary safety functions, including the confinement capability.”
This shield is known as the New Safe Confinement, or NSC, which was installed in 2016 as a second protective layer to stop the spread of radioactive material from Reactor Four of the Chernobyl power plant.
Damage to the shield increases the risk of leaks, which are difficult to contain because radioactive materials, such as gas and dust, can easily disperse widely and remain hazardous for extended periods.
The NSC fully encases an original, smaller concrete structure for containment called the Sarcophagus, built by the Soviet Union after Reactor Four exploded in 1986 and sparked a nuclear crisis across continental Europe.

Can’t help thinking that with the SC about to overturn Humphrey’s Executor, Team Trump deliberately baited the Lawfare crowd into challenging the EO’s, so that the legal precedents re-establishing the Executive’s power are all ready for year two.
In comparison 45, at the start of year two, was in a precarious predicament with the DS untouched, successful Lawfare operations dominating the headlines and a sieve-like White House, housing numerous saboteurs.
What a difference those four years in political ‘exile’ have made, both to the individual who now leads the country and his supporting team.
Has anyone here seen the commercials on FoxNews channel where our beloved president is hawking “Trump Watches?” I thought presidents generally avoided commerce that benefits them. What’s up with that?
Not that I object in any way, but it does seem a bit beneath the office.
I considered buying one, they’re beautiful, but I won’t give up my Apple Watch.
gettrumpwatches.com
There is a big long disclaimer at the bottom of the screen in the ads.
There is some sort of name licensing agreement they are relying on. They are using AI for the digitally created “Trump.”
The watches are not being offered by POTUS or any Trump organization, but I agree it is confusing and looks bad.
The entire TV commercial is President Trump speaking and offering for us to buy the watches. How can he not be involved?
I don’t watch tv, so I didn’t see the watches you are referring to. But I remember seeing some Trump watches maybe a year ago online. They were very flashy for the most part, but I saw a couple I might have bought for a souvenir or a collector’s item. Too expensive for my budget though.
It wasn’t an ad or commercial if I recall correctly. I think I followed a link to a supposedly official Trump website.

It’s ridiculous.
Nothing is as it appears.
Germany’s Federal Criminal Police just released nationwide crime statistics by nationality for the first time.
The results aren’t a rounding error – they’re a Category 5 reality check.
The baseline: 163 violent crime suspects per 100,000 German citizens.
Syrians: 1,740 per 100,000. That’s 10.7x higher.
Afghans: 1,722 per 100,000. Same story.
Non-German suspects now account for over 40% of all cases. Foreign convicts have grown past one-third of the total prison population.
In sexual offenses, Afghan men show up as suspects 11 times more often than German men.
Iraqi men: 10 times.
The raw volume? Syrians committed 135,668 crimes between 2015-2024.
1 every 39 minutes for a decade straight!
Afghans: 82,960 crimes. Iraqis: 69,946.
That’s 460,000+ crimes from the top 10 migrant source countries in 10 years.
In 2024 alone, Syrians were suspects in 12,512 violent crimes – the highest figure in the entire decade.
Rape and sexual assault cases involving Syrians jumped 60% since 2020.

The Rise and Fall of the American Bar Association
Excerpt:
For decades, the ABA has moved steadily to the left, taking on a greater level of advocacy and activism as an organization….
…. in the last few decades, the ABA followed the same trend as higher education and the media, as activists on the left took over key positions and used the organization to advance their own social, political, and legal viewpoints. Neutrality was tossed aside in favor of advocacy.
