The Hallelujah Chorus in 2010 in a Philadephia shopping mall – – – nice to remember!!!!!
A public worship service of the very best kind.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. Luke 2:7-14

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 340 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.
One million more documents re Epstein just found at SDNY? Very concerning considering it is the Trump hating SDNY. One of thee things:
1). They somehow just missed them (yeah, right)
2). They have been manipulating documents as a Trump hoax set-up (maybe)
3). They found them in burn bags in the closet of Maureen Comey’s old office in an attempt to protect Democrats during the Obama/Biden term and hide them from Trump DOJ who were actually indicting Epstein and Maxwell (sarcasm intended, but hmmmmmm?)
I assume Pam Bondi’s DC DOJ did not know they existed. How old are these documents? What the h3ll happened here?
—–
U.S. Department of Justice
@TheJusticeDept
The US Attorney for the Southern District of New York and the FBI have informed the Department of Justice that they have uncovered over a million more documents potentially related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The DOJ has received these documents from SDNY and the FBI to review them for release, in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act…..
Cont…
Funny language, this English. “Food” and “Good” are pronounced completely differently. Likewise “Door” and “Poor.”
Victor Borge (RIP): “It’s your language. I’m just trying to use it!”
I forgot about this allegation about Maureen Comey by Epstein’s prior cellmate from a couple months ago (November). I’m suspicious about these missing documents that were just found from SDNY. Was anything fake planted into them?

Jeffrey Epstein claimed prosecutors offered his freedom if he agreed to implicate Donald Trump: cellmate
Excerpt:
“Prosecutors … told Epstein that if he said President Trump was involved with Esptein’s crimes he would walk free. in a petition to be pardoned,” Tartaglione claims in a pardon application filed in July and obtained by The Post.
“Epstein told me that [lead prosecutor] Maurene Comey said that he didn’t have to prove anything, as long as President Trump’s people could not disprove it. According to Maurene Comey, the FBI were ‘her people, not his [President Trump’s],’ ” the filing states….
….Tartaglione added in his petition that Epstein told him “President Trump was not involved in Epstein’s crimes.”
https://nypost.com/2025/11/05/us-news/jeffrey-epstein-claimed-maurene-comey-would-let-him-free-if-he-implicated-trump-ex-cellmate
Epstein lied about everything else. Why not lie about that, too?
They really can’t stand the idea that this “rich man” is also honest and honorable.
Of course, it also never occurs to them that this is why he is “so damned rich!” (Who would you want to do business with? Yeah, him.)

https://www.theamericanconservative.com/epstein-israel-and-the-cia-how-the-iran-contra-planes-landed-at-les-wexners-base
this may help 🙂
Of course documents that Pam Bondi demanded in January appear. Wouldn’t it be up to her to press charges on SDNY for withholding documents?
One would think you are right. But has any current or former member of the FBI or DOJ been indicted by Bondi apart from Comey? The number of documents deliberately hidden or ‘lost’ all over the FBI and DOJ and no one held criminally accountable. This obstruction in the FBI and DOJ isn’t going to stop because no one is held criminally liable. All the sacked people will be expecting their jobs back under the next Dem presidency.
Nice round number for fraud.
“What the h3ll happened here?”
The same thing happened here that has been on-going since President Trump appointed bondi as AG…. the DOJ is protecting the deep state criminals.
What a mess. Epstein must be laughing his ash off from Hell.
“ICE agents were involved in a shooting in Glen Burnie, Maryland, after a white van attempted to run them over.”….

@RedWave_Press
Former Deputy Assistant AG John Yoo on the recent Supreme Court ruling: “The unintended consequence here might be that the president is going to have to call the 82nd Airborne, or the Marines, or the 101st Airborne Division, as for example President Eisenhower did after Brown vs. Board.”
“President Trump might have to do that first in order to protect those federal buildings, those ICE agents, and then, if they fail, he can then call out the National Guard.”
Video linked…
I hope he does. I’d like to see him go full Genghis Kahn on Chicago. Arrest the governor and mayor for insurrection.
… and it’s about the time to deal with them….we may end up in the same situation as in the Chile in the Sept.1973…because..it’s only way in this stage of our society to resolve it …saaad
Agree 100%
This level of corruption will not be weeded out in the normal venues aka the courts. Everything is fraud, top to bottom and will require Airborne Rangers, Marines, whatever. What was done to this country in the past 110+ years but more specifically since 2015 is treason.
A handful of self-entitled swamp rats/demons, State & Federal decided to usurp will of the American people in the Executive, Legislative and Judicial all captured by the dark one. We must take our country back by whatever means necessary.
Started in 2009
1871-1913-2025 we have been frauded.
Yep, “We must take our country back by whatever means necessary.”
But, we are gonna have to grow a set of balls and do it ourselves… Because, as Sundance recently told us, the present administration doesn’t intend to arrest and indict the politicians that committed TREASON.
Would love to see our Lion go after Chicago like he did Syria after the death of two American troops and an Interpreter….
He means business…
OK… now have a courage … VSGPDJT….do it at home and goes on national TV !!!!
These men and women don’t “fail.” . . . But, if it ever becomes necessary to call upon them, it means that local law enforcement has failed, and they should be made to answer for this. It’s not the military’s job, or even the national guard’s, to have to do this.
A guy on a radio commercial here in Louisiana says “ya gotta have the want to.”
It’s not failure. It’s lack of will, Mike.
The question everyone should be asking is “why?”
On Bannon’s program, he had that ex-special forces guy on selling his coffee. Before the coffee guy got to the sales part he suggested a work-around on this Chicago situation post-Supreme Court decision. He suggested sending many Border Control agents to Chicago and then back-filling the border with the National Guard. The Border agents are under direct executive control so no legal issues there. Seems like a great suggestion to me!
Dear Sundance, Admin, Menagerie and supporters of this humble Tree,
I wish you all the merriest and most blessed of Christmases, and extend my thanks for your loyalty and commitment to making this Tree grow and thrive.
It’s not just a blessing to me and to other regular readers and commenters here, but as we’ve seen demonstrated more than once, it’s a blessing to the nation we know and love, and to those tasked with her leadership.
We are a nation blessed by our Creator with the strength and values of Christianity and guided by the example of our Beloved Lord, whose birth we celebrate today.
For me every day is Christmas simply by virtue of being fortunate enough to have been born in America, where such a thing as the Conservative Tree House is possible and so highly valued.
It’s a gift to come here each day and find the clear-eyed analyses and reliable facts so greatly needed to help navigate the challenging time in which we find ourselves living.
It’s nourishment to the soul that the fruits of this tree are rooted in the indwelling faith we share and the love we bear for our Father in Heaven and the Savior He sent to bless and shape our world.
God bless us, every one, and may Heaven’s Light of Truth guide our way.
Merry Christmas.
Love,
Ma
Does Menagerie still posts?
I haven’t seen anything for a while now…always appreciated her calm reflections, honest assessments, and grateful heart.
(And I miss the holiday recipe posts!)
Ad Rem-any idea where she is or why she stopped posting?
Last post I saw from Menagerie was a year or two ago.
Some of those posting comments were rude and disrespectful.
I hope she is well and if she sees this post I would like to wish her a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Mom!
Menagerie’s fine – I just spoke with her earlier this morning. I’ll tell her you asked, and leave a note for her. 😘
Thank you for the update! So glad that all is well! Please tell her that I send Christmas greetings to her and her family!!
Thank you all for the good wishes. I’ve been a bit under the weather for several months, and my brother has a very serious illness. Life has been hectic.
I appreciate all of you very much!
Sending love and prayers for healing and calm.
I haven’t seen her here in several years.
Back at you Ma!
Hugs to you, dear Stan.
Merry Christmas/ Feliz Navidad! Jesus is born.
Gracias Dios! Peace on earth!
Merry Christmas, from the bottom of my heart, to each of you who make this the best community that exists on the Internet. I absolutely love this group.
Merry Christmas America! How are ya?

EPSTEIN’S ROOMMATE WAS THE DOJ’S GO-TO COVER-UP GUY?
Mike Benz connected some disturbing dots about Stan Pottinger, the man the New York Times reported was Epstein’s roommate in the early 1980s:
“It was Stan Pottinger who immediately closed the investigation into FBI and CIA for knowledge or coordination of the assassination of Martin Luther King. Every CIA scandal of the 1960s and 70s, Stan Pottinger covered for them because he was the head of the Civil Rights Division.

About those million new Epstein folders found at SDNY….
This appears to be a problem with the corrupt SDNY deep staters that Pam Bondi was trying to go after.
She forced James Dennehy to retire for hiding Epstein files after she requested all Attorney offices to turn them over. A few months later she fired Maureen Comey.
Now they found one million more files. I think Pam Bondi and Kash Patel should get some credit here.

That did not exist.

Flashback from March 2025:
FBI New York assistant director James Dennehy forced into retirement
Excerpt:
Dennehy’s departure announcement comes days after Attorney General Pam Bondi alleged that the FBI’s New York field office withheld thousands of pages of additional documents related to accused sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. In a letter to FBI Director Kash Patel last week, Bondi demanded an investigation into why the documents were hidden.

Obama Judge Hands Trump Victory In Battle Against H-1B Pipeline
https://dailycaller.com/2025/12/24/obama-judge-hands-trump-h-1b-victory/
A federal judge handed President Donald Trump a major victory on Tuesday night in his effort to rein in the massive flow of cheap, foreign labor into the United States.
D.C. District Judge Beryl Howell upheld President Donald Trump’s authority to slap a $100,000 fee on new H-1B visa applications, according to court documents. The ruling marks the latest action against a visa program adored by big business, but long accused of displacing American workers, particularly those in the tech industry.
The Trump administration’s decision to make approvals of new H-1B applications contingent upon a $100,000 payout is within the power Congress delegated to the White House under immigration law, Howell, appointed to the bench in 2010 by President Barack Obama, wrote in her 56-page decision.
Trump Revamps Controversial H-1B Outsourcing Program, Scraps Lottery for Merit System
https://www.breitbart.com/economy/2025/12/24/trump-revamps-controversial-h-1b-outsourcing-program/
President Donald Trump’s revamp of the H-1B white-collar outsourcing program has prompted cautious approval from advocates for American professionals and college graduates.
Employers and their lawyers are expected to file lawsuits against the new rules, which somewhat shift the distribution of new H-1B workers towards employers who offer higher wages.
That shift will modestly pressure companies to hire young American graduates — but will not restrict the huge inflow of foreign workers via other programs, including the “cap-exempt” H-1B, J-1, L-1, L-2, OPT, and CPT work-permit programs.
“The new rule replaces the random lottery for selecting visa recipients with a process that gives greater weight to those with higher skills,” says a press statement for the agency that awards the visas:
Merry Christmas to Americans looking for a job!
There’s no reason to look for “skills” anywhere else but right here. All of these work-visa programs should be eliminated.
I concur. Beginning as a young BS-degreed college graduate with my first employer in 1987, I was strapped, struggling with student loans about 90 days post-graduation. My entry-level position did not necessarily need a BS degree; it really only needed training for competent (i.e., evaluated/reviewed) people.
While I was able to move up in the ranks because of my degree, I often thought the government (federal and local) should be rewarding companies and to incentivize those companies to identify, train and employ good people. Incentivize via tax breaks, kick-backs – whatever. Just say that you don’t need to go to college for a rewarding job.
I don’t disagree with you but I think Trump is doing it in steps. From what I have seen of Indian engineers I wouldn’t pay $10 bucks for one let alone $100,000. The company I worked for in the 1980’s had a lot of Federal contracts so I think the only reason they existed was to meet Federal minority requirements for those contracts. This guy was suppose to be a mechanical engineer, but would tell the mechanics to build something and “I will draw up pictures later”. His only other real skill was calling a real engineering company to do his work for him. He eventually got fired and was working as a parking lot attendant the last time I saw him. He also imported his brother who was supposed to be a lawyer and was working as manual laborer. Given equal skills would you pay and extra $100.000 dollars for a guy that could end up being this guy? This should improve Americans chances. If you really need a certain guy, you will have to pay $100,000 not a small amount.
Also Trump wants to bring more money into the treasury just like with the tariffs. This should do that. His H-1B visa plane has already morphed a few times from his original plans.

I saw Santa Claus last night. He did not have on anything but a white T-shirt, red shorts and sandals.
He had an air-conditioner rigged up on his sleigh to keep the reindeer cool.
He sure would have needed it that AC here this year.
First time I’ve had to run the AC Christmas Day…
But as my Grandfather used to say…Weather always evens out…so we’ll get ours at some point in the future…
It’s crazy weather in East Texas. This is the first Christmas day in years that the fireplace wasn’t roaring. This morning it’s 68 degrees and humid. I guess that global warming finally kicked in! Lol.
Lived in Lubbock 25 years, mostly cold Christmas.
Lived in Austin 25 years. Mostly mild to warm Christmas.
Living in NW Arkansas the last 17 years. Mostly cold to very cold Christmas.
But this year, in all three places, it has been unseasonably warm. Kind of like it for a change.😎
We’ll get really cold, soon enough.
Time to fire up the Big Green Egg.
Merry Christmas to all and may God’s blessings fill your life, in the name of Lord Jesus.

The state declined to jail her…while a whole family of 4 are spending the holiday in the hospital and the little boy was transferred to another facility, for surgery. The unspoken question…I bet she has no insurance, on top of the open bottles in the car at 12:15 in the afternoon.
Pathetic.

And, how does a 27 year old afford a Hummer? I bet she’s a no show for her hearing. And an afterthought–I wonder if any license plate readers in IL find that Hummer at Broadview?
The only time that I have been truly scared behind the wheel is when I was driving a narrow road near my house and I saw an obviously-drunk driver in the rear view mirror, gaining on me. I could not outrun him on such a road, nor could I pull off. Fortunately, he [tried to] turned off at the last minute. I didn’t look back to see if he made the turn.
Glad things worked out for you! I guess we will never know about the other one…
I’ve stated before I highly recommend the movie “Jeremiah” about the Prophet. It’s also on I believe Roku/Tubi etc

The country in order to survive must put an end to foreign born Judges, Mayors, and Police Chiefs etc!!!
https://dailycaller.com/2025/12/23/brian-de-pena-lawrence-massachusetts-mayor-cant-speak-english/
FTA “Lawrence, Massachusetts, Mayor Brian De Peña — a Dominican Republic native — requested a Spanish interpreter during a Friday hearing tied to a state police-oversight case, according to The Daily Wire. The episode lit up social media and renewed questions about how a big-city mayor functions in government and legal settings when he says he needs translation help, the Wire reported. The interpreter flap also landed as De Peña is already feuding with Massachusetts’ top elections office after the state flooded Lawrence polling sites with monitors and police, according to NBC Boston.
Here’s an example!!! This is what Democrats do is they pool legal immigrants from the same country along with voting illegal aliens in cities and towns to take over politically so much so that some elected leaders can’t speak English or English is a second language at best! This needs to stop!!!
He was elected by the people of that town. Apparently, they are okay with it. Which only shows us again that the people on the Left can never be reconciled with. But yes, I agree with you.
Well, this sure got my blood boiling! 😱😡😤
“may violate Constitution’s ban on bills of attainder” Making a ruling that he’s not sure about?
Does he speak English?
Security clearances are a privilege, not a right. They are given and retracted by the President (or his designees). The judge has no authority here. But if you want to play the game, don’t strip but suspend. Allow him no access to classified information.
Another point. How did he get to be a judge, this Amir guy? With the help of Republicans.
“On November 20, the United States Senate invoked cloture on his nomination by a 50–48 vote. Later that day, his nomination was confirmed by a 50–49 vote, with all Democratic senators and Independent senator Joe Manchin voting yes.” So no Republicans were not involved!!!
Bubby, I stand corrected!
Hope someone can figure out a way to legally get rid of him. Deport him is one way.
Sure….sign him up for the rendition program….
I do believe it will be challenged and overturned on appeal. If a president can’t strip security clearances of insecure people the government will become infested with spies both foreign and domestic.
This is just more resist Trump.
Merry Christmas Colkitto!
Merry Christmass my friend and to everyone.

Nice touch! America’s domestic enemies will not enjoy this.

It is strange to me how such a purely evil man can project so much power, simply because of his ill-gotten wealth.
And, contrast this to the man in the second image above, who is not evil, and who probably has much more money. Simply because he is not.
Indeed! The capability to do something about it has always been available.
As a Texan I’m in favor of this!!!
Me? I am loving those two sheriff’s in Florida…Polk and Brevard counties….and Brevard County’s “big beautiful dogs”.

kind of long but also infuriating, to the hard working non government employee that works in an “at will” state…and Congress does nothing.
Growing up our Federal Congressional Rep used to hold meetings in all parts of his district to talk to and hear his constituents complaints, needs, and ideas, while offering assistance as needed. Does any here at the Treehouse know of anyone who does this anymore?
Former Democrat Virginia Senator Jim Webb, perhaps the last Blue Dog Democrat, said that the Democrat party no longer represents the American Working men & women, and is beholden to special interest groups (and foreign lobbies).
He also brought up at one of the eventually stolen Democrat Primaries debates, that (unconstitutional) Affirmative Action had been diverted from its true path and weaponized against Heritage American Caucasian & Black applicants, in favor of immigrants. The Democrat crowd was shell shocked at this truth.
The 2016,2020 Democrat Primaries were stolen from Comrade Sanders by the CFR-DNCe and the 2024 also by swapping out the Dementia patient with the idiot Indian which was never voted on. Some “Democracy” huh? Democracy is a lie and has been as they have been stealing elections for a long time.
(Democratic Debate) Jim Webb: I support affirmative action for African Americans
My UT rep has only held constituent phone conferences for the past five years or so. Sad.
Ty for answering friend. My point is, our “government” no longer represents us. We need a America First Reset of our government, media, and money.
Did Traficant realize that the World Bank and IMF started 13 years after the 1933 Banking Act? Yup, they were the spawn of the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference.
Despite, or is it because, their existence, the World still needed The Marshall Plan, passed in 1948.
Obviously the world wasn’t plundering our broke but fast enough.
The Marshall Plan ended, but the Marshal Plan Plundering didn’t. Thank goodness for President Trump.
But the worst plundering is the deficit. Trump is working on reducing/ending it. But the Debt is too large. We may have to really do the national equivalent of declaring bankruptcy to solve our ever growing debt.
Merry Christmass Boogeystew! When did you move from Erie PA to Tn?
Just trying new tacts. A couple of my posts disappeared, so something is wrong. Sorry I’m not Boogey.
I do have relatives in PA, not Erie. Bald as can be. Their family portraits were blinding.
Me, hair disappearing from the top and trying to flee via eyebrows, ears and nose.
My past though involves Ohio, Florida, Texas, Alaska, Michigan, Massachusetts as well as Tennessee. There are also a few short stays in Utah, Washington and Kansas as well as many moves within states or repeats of a state. And some time in Japan and Austria.
I don’t ever want to move again. Doubt I’ll be that lucky.
Merry Christmas to you too Colkitto.
Stealing elections is treason. When are all the victims going to get compensationa nd when are the criminal traitors going to face justice? The Uniparty Hegelian Dialectic political system has been stealing elections for a very long time.
There is a campaign right now to portray all east west conflict as the fault of NATO.
Using Putin’s conversations with W.
A warning in 2008 about Bush pushing Ukraine into NATO. A reminder in 2001 that the Soviet Union applied to join NATO in 1954, while he was discussing Russia joining NATO.
I am not sure why Putin would make that mistake. The Soviet Union was very hostile in 1954. They brutally crushed Hungary’s attempt to be free in 1956. In a few years they put nukes in Cuba. And brutally crushed Czechoslovakia’s rebellion in 1968.
From the start, The Soviet Union had plans to dominate the World. They were hostile to us when we were hostile to them. But they were also hostile to us when we were friends. Churchill didn’t start the cold war. He just recognized what the Soviets were doing. What they had been doing since day 1.
It makes sense to buy the argument that the very hostile Soviet Union has collapsed and Russia now wants to be friends.
But pretending innocence of the USSR in 1954 with full knowledge that they weren’t innocent should make anybody who heard that in 2001 suspect the similar request.
I suppose propaganda turnabout is fair play, when NATO is always demonizing Russia so that they can destroy Russia. But this is a big mistake.

It is all the fault of Obama, H. Clinton. Victoria Nuland, John McCain and Joe Biden.
Merry Christmas y Feliz Navidad!!!
Let’s get started ASAP!!! Democrats believe deportation is a crime rather it’s the result of a crime, illegal entry into the United States!!!
Yup, immediately file the proper warrants, obtain the proper paper to seize their assets before they send it off to Somalian cohorts, and arrest them give them their deportation orders and put them on a plane ASAP back to their homeland they are so proud of that they fly it’s flag in our country.
She said it quickly discussing how the fraudsters got it….did you catch the quickie on false info etc “…marrying their brother….”?
I wonder if that was intentional…like a shot across the bow?
Merry Christmas to all! Many blessings in the new year to come. God Bless 🙏🏽❤️
Saint Porphyrios, Bishop of Gaza in Palestine (+ 420) please pray for and protect the remaining Christians in the Holy Land.
Many of those who remain (as well as their families in the Diaspora) will celebrate the Nativity of Our Lord and God and Savior Jesus Christ on Dec 25/Jan 7 by the Church Calendar.
Many of these are people whose ancestors were Baptized in the days of the Holy Apostles. Their families have been in the Church for two millenia.
The Orthodox Christian Patriarchate of Jerusalem continues despite the harships and struggles.

They Kept Christmas… and Removed The King …
Never forget…
First of all, MERRY CHRISTMAS to Sundance and his amazing staff, and to all fellow Treepers, whether daily posters, occasional commenters, or just those lurking to get informed.
Secondly, a big thanks to posters who regularly copy X posts and other media outlets to inform. These posts are often extremely informative and educational. Especially as I do NOT do social media 😎
Finally…for those curious about my avatar and pen name: that’s an actual photo of my Dad flying his US Army L4, also known as the “Grasshopper”, in southern Germany in early 1945. The plane was probably the smallest fixed wing aircraft in service during WW II, and was used as an artillery spotter among other things. That’s what Dad was. For those who might remember the movie “Battle of the Bulge” — the scene where Henry Fonda grabs a pilot to go look for the German tanks features an L4 in action! Dad was awarded the Air Medal twice.
My dad was too an artillery spotter among other things. He was asked to train on the Grasshopper, but he turned it down, and recommended his corporal to train on one. His corporal stayed in the military after WW2 and retired as a Lt Colonel. My dad told me they got something like 2 weeks of training.
If I had to guess, the 2 weeks of traing would have been for the spotter sitting behind the pilot who actually did the radioing in of the coordinates back to base where the guns were. My Dad’s flight traing took 4 months at 3 separate locations.
True story: Dad and his spotter regularly came under small arms fire. They put a steel plate in floor of the L4 to protect themselves. One day, they had particularly heavy fire and it knocked out their engine. No big deal, they just turned around and glided back to their lines. But spotter was p*sped off! So next day with plane repaired (was just a severed fuel line) the spotter grabbed a few mortar shells to take along. When they were over the same area and started taking fir, this guy armed the shells by hitting them against the wing strut, and dropping them on the position shooting at them!! Dad said that his spotter had a screw loose…but was best he flew with.
