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.
Day 127 of the 2nd year of the 2nd term of this very stable genius. History is being made in the kingdoms of this world in the year of our Lord 2026.
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 continues to make 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 second term, he is weeding them out faster and choosing like-minded servants who multiply his effectiveness. 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 does not show humility before men, but his actions show humility before God.
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 is not afraid to call out our enemies.
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 to the rights of freedom and self determination that have been quietly stolen from us.
He has rekindled the same healthy distrust held by our founders of government and men with too much power. 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 believes that nations who treat their people well will also be good economic neighbors with us.
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. Lord please bring your power and might in the daily working of this sacred Nation you gave us.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; both now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Amen
Amen!
Amen. Go God beat the devil.

Texans don’t forget – it’s Kick Cornyn to the Curb day today!!
Make it happen! God Bless Texas!
All ready been out to the polling location in my little East Texas town. 3rd in line to kick Cornyn to the curb.
Will the west TX rain help or hurt who?
I couldn’t help but notice it was in the Midland TX area.
Back to work…accountability.
Democrats don’t identify as being liberal anymore. The vast majority say they align with Democratic socialism….
“Democratic Socialism”: translation into plain English = COMMUNISTS!
Nationalist Socialist Workers’ Party, or, as they came to be known, the NAZI party. The Demon Party, plain and simple.
I agree. Communism is dying, dead or has morphed into fascism. Cuba is about done, Venezuela too. Remember what Reagan said, fascism is private ownership with total government control. That is where China is today with their quasi communism/quasi capitalism, but still with repressive government control. Vietnam too. About the only real communist regime left that isn’t dying is North Korea.
Yes, but then North Korea is a functional dictatorship. Those people don’t know what freedom is.
So are China, Vietnam, and Cuba Dictatorships. Every communist country ever was a Dictatorship. Socialist countries too. There are no Republics of socialist/communist countries that have democracy for their elections. A few have fake elections where you can vote yes or no for the chosen candidate, but if you vote no you will lose your income, housing , rights and possibly your freedom.
If you think Democrats are going to practice democracy after they siezeseize power get your head examined.
Virginia is a good example of this.
Name all the socialist and communist countries that weren’t dictatorships? There are none.
That’s because the traditional Democrat supporters have swelled the ranks of MAGA. Pretty simple trajectory that I witnessed here in the UK and I call the Orange squash syndrome.
The sticky syrup of the extremists is diluted by the water of normal apolitical voters, who identify with a particular party, to make something acceptably drinkable. Keep making that drink, but each time remove more and more water, the result is an increasingly unpalatable concoction that only syrup lovers, or those with no sense of taste, prefer.
The Democrat Party agenda is desperately being disguised and then spoon-fed by the MSM-education-entertainment complex, but more and more people are increasingly rejecting it and switching to the drink they remember. MAGA, it’s ‘the one you’ve got to come back for’.
One thought on the dems issues that is used against traditional American Patriotism and the MAGA values…
The social engineering, and the magnitude of the massive number of different socially engineered ‘issues’ espoused by the dems…
Combines, its multiple issues that divide us.
Separately, ‘there is something for everyone’…that particular ‘hill’ one is will to die on and for…and be be divided by….
I always used to chuckle when the Lefties used their version of the football chant, ‘United, United, we’ll never be defeated’, at political rallies, given their whole basis of governing seemed to be based on divide and conquer.
As some wag said politics is in part a way to interfere in people working out things for themselves, to the benefit of the politicians and not the people. The Globalists and Left have now made that the sole reason, and the entire trajectory of modern political history is the growing revolt of normal people rejecting the premise of constant division that the Left sells and has successfully projected onto the it’s opponents.
MAGA is just one of the latest iterations of this dynamic, has been highly successful and therefore must be erased as a movement, as Plouffe’s famous tweet admitted.
But wait.. in an odd twist of their divide and conquer technique, leftists are eliminating national sovereignty by demanding open borders to embrace “one (trans)human family.”
Their tagline is one “human” family, yet globalists are methodically (and surreptitiously) changing DNA and hijacking the cerebral cortex to remove the “human” part. But I digress..
The point is that leftists aim to eliminate all traces of national and cultural identity by consolidating their own totalitarian control under the guise of “unity.” And these clueless, sanctimonious democrats eat it up.
Yes it is the communist playbook all good ideas come from the state so stop thinking.
Degradation is the weapon of choice in social engineering; only then can ideals like atheism, communism, and Sharia law take hold and lead to a ‘better’ world: a utopia to many. It tears down instead of building up good standards of life.
God Help US
Without the standard of Sanctity of Life there’s nothing to stand on, rely on, or live up to…… AND no future either. Abortion and child abuse has rotted US to the core.
But, yet We fight wars for other countries………
Abortion, child abuse…is a satanic mockery of Christianity….the “This is my body which shall be given up for you”….
Communism and socialism…I have spoken to the few ‘decluttering’ videos which espouse the ‘minimalism’ ideology…
30 somethings making money on you tube…
The backgrounds all show very boring rooms…decor and furniture…nothing that seems to speak to a person’s likes or dislikes…
You will own nothing and be happy and you will all be the same.
That is something to think about! I have never heard that! Thanks!
There is a video that I viewed years ago, which may still be on the youtubes, that reflected exactly that idea. It’s probably not available anymore, at least I couldn’t find it, but this song is heartrending: This Is My Body by Dana
Edited — I found that video! It’s 17 yrs old. If you choose to watch it, have tissues ready:
Destroying the country is not something that should be on the ballot.
We are voting on how to run this country- this way or that way.
But the problem we face here today is that the way the Democrats want to run the country is in such a way where it’s literally being destroyed because they want to reform it to align with their Socialist ideals which history shows are failures, which are Unconstitutional- by the way.
That failure is now the feature to them.
They want and need this failure to grow their government. Failure is success to them.
Destroying the country is not something we should be doing or allowed to do, you should not be allowed to vote to destroy our country. This is crazyland.
Open borders, men in the ladies room, castrating children, this is not policy, it’s a weapon meant to destroy.
We need to see it all for what it is.. we’re being destroyed through the perversion, the bastardization that corruption has created of our own system of governance.
These people are evil, deranged and mentally unstable. They cannot successfully continue to grow and promote their sick, communist ideology as long as we are standing in the way so they strive to render us powerless and without a voice. God help and strengthen us to stand against these powers of darkness and to shine the light of truth on their demonic intentions.
It always comes down to good vs evil.
Restoration vs Reformation of the human soul is always the battle line.
God Help US
Ditto!
🙂 ditto head here too.
Sure miss Rush.
They are, why do you think they’ve tried to kill the architect of the MAGA counter-revolution on multiple occasions. The good news is that they’ve grown flabby and unfit following the decades of having no real political opposition. The result, increasingly ham-fisted attempts to maintain control as their opponent, who’s fought for survival since inception, is regularly besting them.
Remember, the adage of hard times breeding hard men etc applies to every facet of human existence, including politics. Which is why those with wisdom inject hardship into their comfortable lives, both physically, mentally and crucially spiritually. In fact religious faith celebrates this aspect of life, ignored by the Left, much to their disadvantage and a primary cause for their anger at everything, which is largely transferred feelings of personal inadequacy.
I both despise them for their inhumanity, but I also feel genuinely sorry for them, for the trans humanist vision they strive for means they can never enjoy their lives. Pity they have to try to ruin everyone else’s though, in the process.
I’d like to teach the world to MAGA……
That feels like a silly poll. All the Democrat-leaning voters I know fall into two buckets –
– Progressive, well-educated, want-to-change-the-world types
– Former Republican voters who may not love Democrats but will never vote Republican again
Over the past several years, I thought there were more Progressive types. But lately I have been seeing a lot more Blue Dog Democrats.
So no – I don’t believe that poll at all.
Sure, Blue Dog Democrats who approve of defund the police, mass immigration, DEI, Green New Deal, the trans agenda, the ‘new’ history, the politicisation of everything, assassination of political opponent’s, rampant fraud, elections that last for months and every obscure conspiracy theory if it helps the tribe. You seem to be a tad confused if that’s what you genuinely think traditional Democrats support.
Anyway, nice try at projection Steve, all your attempts can’t disguise the fact that the Democrat Party is in a bit of a pickle at the moment, and there’s no Peter Piper to rescue it from marinating in its ideological extremism.
Give ’em Hell, Peg! 👍
I would add a buckets for unionized government workers who vote for those who butter their bread, and the Free-Shit army.
Ignoring the free shiz, social work, govt, and criminal crowd makes you look silly – but when have you not?
Still plugging away, I see.
Nothing that you write is true. You must live in an alternate reality.
I have pointed out to you before that you need to educate yourself- there is plenty of material here.
You are a leftist troll. Being willfully ignorant is not a good look.
You know and I know he is getting paid by the post, he probably doesn’t even believe in the sh*t he posts, if he is even human at all and not a bot.
good point dep grant..
probably with Soros money… evil in motion.
Pickleball Steve..
you come here how can you not pick up what is true and right!! this site is full of truth and God spirit.
Picklebrain Steve strikes again with more commie propaganda. “Progressive, well educated” – lol. Blue dog democrats went extinct many years ago, but you already know that.
Progressive, well-educated = Drank massive quantities of communist koolaid
mostlyOgauge
well educated …. with the meaning of well being a pit or a hole…is more like it yes 🙂
Pickled Steve is a troll. Ignore
“Progressive, well-educated” geniuses who cannot even figure out which bathroom to use.
The Democratic voters I know fall into two buckets communist and corrupt evil fraudsters. Blue dog Democrats were the black hating KKK typegehey have beenG dead for years but I could see them making a comeback now that they love illegals and can’t racially gerrymander them anymore.
Now Republicans have a lot of ex Democratic voters like myself. The last time I voted for a Democrat for anything, even dog catcher was before Bozo Obummer was elected.
My phone is having trouble with this site again. George Wallace was the Blue dog Democrat type. They disappeared years ago .
I’ve never voted for a Democrat and darn proud of it. I first became eligible to vote in 1971. I knew then that Democrats were nuts and they have just gotten worse and worse over the years.
It is consistent with other polls over the past couple of years showing democrats have a favorable view of communism and socialism.
Pickled is lying. Lying is the only thing Democrats have anymore. The one still Classic liberal I can think of is Jonathan Turely and the Communist liberals attack him on his website every day to the point it is no longer worth reading and that is Picklehead’s goal here too.
Political scientists have precise, almost nit-picking definitions.
People though are more flexible and more fluid.
New Deal, Liberal (not classical), Progressive (again), Socialist, Communist, Anarchist, all mean something, but not really. People blend them together, work them together, morph to whatever their media bubble makes popular.
And a lot of this truly his the media’s doing. If communism is bad today, that part is hidden. And the media only plays by political science definitions when it is useful in deceiving.
In large part Left is an identity, the us in an vicious us vs them murderous power game.
And Right is a catchall for all the Left’s hatreds. All the thems they want to abuse.
To a Leftist, there is nothing in common between Monarchies, National Socialists, Capitalists, except the Left’s hatred.
No need for nitpicking differences. You are either with us, or we hate you.
But such hate usually has to be disguised. Or it drives people away.
And the bad outcomes of the hate tarnish each and every label that they apply to themselves. So they are always renaming themselves.
And always pushing to extremes as they ply their hatreds.
New name. Same old Hate.
And always the evil tries to spread and conquer the good.
When ‘Social Justice’ overtakes True Justice you always wind up with plain old Communism.
‘Standards of living’ are only important to the ruling class; they set the ‘standards.’ AND life itself becomes unimportant. Abortion, wars, crimes, euthanasia……. abound.
‘Standards of living’ when put in the hands of ‘Social Justice’ adherent’s hands sets the stage for disaster.
God Help US
“Liberals” are yet another word that has been stretched well beyond its original meaning.
When the word became synonymous with “tyrants”, it became hard to ignore.
I’ve noticed everywhere now that it’s being called the ‘Democratic’ party, even Pundits on the right are calling it this.
It’s the Democrat Party.
Democratic is another word, a different word. Why is no one calling this out?
Plenty of people call out the wording error. However, too many people are intellectually weak or lazy to use the proper wording.
Before you know it “they” will be calling it the Democracy Party!
I think they will switch their name to the Bolshevik Party of the Stalin Republic very soon.
Good point NHnative. Have noticed that myself for quite sometime. Thanks for bringing attention to this matter! It needs to be corrected. MAGA!
Democratics are members of the Democrat party.
There is nothing ‘democratic’ about the democrat party. It is the party of communism disguised as social justice.
The USA is not a democracy, either. We are a Constitutional Republic.
True… the real Democrat Party died when LBJ took over as “president”…
It is now the Communist Party…
A republic tell us one thing. Not ruled by a monarch. Constitutional republic just tells us a nation has a constitution. The old USSR, Russia, China, Cuba, North Korea and Iran are all constitutional republics. To define the USA you must say a Representative Constitutional republic. Republics can be democracies, dictatorships or theocracies (which are also dictatorships). They cannot be kingdoms with a king, Sultan, Prince Tsar or Emperor.
That raise the question of how do we pick our representative? Our first attempt at a government was the Articles of Confederation. It did not have a democracy as some states chose there representatives in other ways than an election, usually appointed by state legislatures. The Current federal government elects it’s representatives including our president in a suppose it free and fair elections. Just like republic told us little democracy tell us little, we do not have a pure or true democracy instead we have a limited democracy. That means there are checks and balances like the Bill of Rights and Electoral college to protect our right and challenge cheating in the Presidential election (which the Democrats hate, want to get rid of and started a riot to by pass the electoral college certification processes).
So we are a Representative Constitutional Republic and we have a representative limited democracy. Both words are applicable to the USA.
I call it out all the time! They have been playing with changing their name for long time. Same with the “saving our democracy” mantra. It is almost ubiquitous now, but some still know the difference, and there IS a difference!
We can fix this problem…
Let’s just start calling them who they really are: The Communist Party”…
I call it out all of the time. When someone uses ‘democratic’ incorrectly, I counter with a comment using ‘republicanic’. They have no idea how to respond.
Problem is, too many ‘conservative’ talk show hosts use ‘democratic’ incorrectly; they’re part of the problem.
Those democratic socialists don’t seem to realize that socialism depends on using OPM (other people’s money).
Once that runs out, they will soon discover that they are all equally poor and utterly miserable.
The EU and Canada are finding that out as we speak. The USA is no longer their sugar daddy.
It is worse there is no nationalism envolved with this movement.
So in the utopian world they have planned for us is an average household imcome of 10,000 a year.
It is a nationalist movement with the Democrats the nation of LGBTQ+. It also fits the definition of fascism as it is very a belligerent nation.
I identify them as bat 💩 crazy……….. and that’s on their good days!
I content that MAGA is the what the Democrat Party used to be (for the most part).
You might want to seriously reconsider that statement. MAGA isn’t anything close to what the Democrat Party has ever been or represents today.
Remember the term “The Solid South”?
The “Democrat Party” was the Conservative Party in the USA until LBJ had JFK assassinated and took over as President…
The Democrat party has never shared base ideals with me. Independence is anathema to the big govt crowd.
You know nothing of the history of the Democratic party founded out of corrupt Tamany Hall.
Vladimir Lenin stated: “socialism is the “first phase” of communist society, which eventually leads to the “higher phase” of communism.”
So I guess the DemonRat Party of today confirms Lenin’s “higher phase”?

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Iran, Strait of Hormuz:
Chief Justice John Roberts would say Iran charging money to cross the strait is a tax, not a toll.
It’s a marriage.
Or a gender.
Or an election.
Or whatever the Cartel tells him it is.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A toll has historically been imposed after a bridge, highway or ferry system has been built to offset the construction and maintenance costs. Not applicable with the Strait.
Secretary Rubio does lip service.

US Government Overpaid Welfare and Medicare Recipients by $186 Billion
Last Year — After a Shocking Surge
Medicare, although I have and am paying for the coverage…
Am not getting it, coverage, because all the doctors “are not accepting patients”.
But illegals get it?
Ins. company goes ‘thru the motions’ of ‘attempting’ to help me.
State tells me to complain to HHS…HHS tells me to complain to the state….assuming you can figure out which state agency to complain to for what…
In my best Erin Brockovich voice….
There is so much grift
Very few new physicians coming. The ones who are are going to high paying jobs as hospitalists or are working for corporations who operate cattleyards
How well I know!
All the H1B FMG’s become Hospitalists it seems.
I’ve had to keep changing plans as the rules change and the goal posts are moved. This results in less health care and more out-of-pocket.
I’m having to order an expensive name-brand medication from Canada at one-third the U. S. cost with insurance. The Canadian cost is, of course, without insurance.
I pay cash for the meds I use after telling pharmacist to check for best price options.
It would be funny if not so evil. Paperwork goes on about how the insurance I didn’t use saved me $110 on Rx I payed $23 cash.
And the price with ins is higher than the cash price……………….
In Michigan I have done well with priority Medicare edge. A knee, A hip, a cardiac ablation only.a.gew hundred out of pocket for anyone of these opperation paying out of pocket for Eliquis but $130 3 month supply through their express scripts program.
When ‘government’ gets involved it always goes to shite; medicare is one of the biggest frauds brought on US by government intervention to ‘care’ for the elderly.
Medicare has been robbed, pillaged, and misused by the government hands in the pot and their ‘handshakes’ with insurance companies to the point of it being pointless.
A Ponzi scheme is too nice a word for it.
God Help US
I personally got turned away from orthopedic doctors with a double fracture of my humerus because I did’t carry enough insurance and they wouldn’t accept ‘self pay’ of services…….even paying the day of services.
I’ve nursed myself back to wellness and without limitations on shoulder movements (thank God). AND I finally feel like I’m out of the Twilight Zone medicare has created.
From a terrible fall to the realization that hospitals evaluate insurance coverage before injuries………rude awakening.
I had an orthopedic consult last week with the community care program through the VA, basically when the clinic/ urgent care facility doesn’t have a doctor for a certain specialty I am sent to a private one. The specialist was so “geeked” up on something that he talked like speedy Gonzales and got mad when I refused a steroid shot and when he talked about surgery for what he said “was probably a torn rotater cuff” (this after taking x-rays) because I told him that surgeons only know how to heal by cutting. He then bragged about how he reattaches arms and then left the room telling me over his shoulder as he was walking down the hallway ” You can leave now bud!”.
Now maybe it wasn’t coke, maybe it was just one too many energy drinks but my gut tells me it was the first and not the later. I have been given information about how to file a complaint and I have been chewing on it all weekend, I know I will not ever be seeing him again but what about the next vet who is referred to him.🤔
Don’t let a surgeon cut you unnecessarily. To a hammer, everything is a nail.
State Boards side with the physician….would be a waste of your time….It’s rigged as PT would say.
Sounds like Adderall. Prescription meth. It’s the rage in the medical field.
My wife worked at a VA clinic for a while. She said if you file the complaint, they will take it seriously, and he may lose his contract.
My problem is do I have the right to hurt this man’s carrier? If I am wrong and it isn’t coke but too much red bull or adderall like you suggested do I have the right to throw him under the bus? I am comfortable making my own choices about who or who won’t be my physician but do I have the right to harm this man’s reputation?
Thank you for your input.🖖🏻
Until someone invents one of those magical, healing gizmos like on Star Trek, the only way we have to repair a torn ligament is to cut into the skin to get at it.
My father was an orthopedic surgeon, and he always said surgery should be a last resort.
That being said, he also saw 80+ year old women, wheelchair bound for decades…get up and DANCE! after double hip replacements.
My husband had his torn ACL repaired totally successfully and a partial knee replacement that has him out of knee pain. Our dog was healed with essentially the same operation.
Please don’t give up on modern medicine or your own ability to get pain free
While I am not a fan of Gov’t in healthcare, I am on Medicare with a Plan G supplement.
Here in TX, (Houston Metro) all of my Doctors take the plan, and even a new highly rated cardiologist takes the plan. I have heard that many of the doctors would not take the advantage plans.
Once I hit my deductible, I have only had about $100 out of pocket for one test that was not covered.
Philosophically, not a fan, but in practice so far it’s not cheap, but it’s less expensive than my high deductible plans during my work years.
My wife and I both in our ‘70s, in pretty good health for our age. I keep reminding her that we have to take care of ourselves (eat healthy, get plenty of rest, exercise, stay active, etc.) because the day will come when reasonable, affordable healthcare will be a thing of the past or frustratingly rare. Actually we’re starting to see strong signs of that now. If/when the Commie DemonRats regain power, good healthcare will only be available for illegal immigrants (future and current DemonRat voters) and the usual welfare and food stamp fraudsters.
The medical profession blew their credibility with all their lies about “covid” and the “clot-shot”…
You will be better off to stay away from them and let the Lord God Almighty’s given protection system cure your illnesses…
Aggiegirl, I can’t find a primary care dr, either.
I have a good cardiologist.
Everything else, I go to a ‘doc-in-the-box’ as I’m usually seen quickly and if needs be they can get me in to see another dr.
Don’t know if this would help you but, so far, it works for me.
Medicare penalized me 40% for years because I did not sign up at 65 as I had private ins.
After many years and lots of hassle medicare/SS recently refunded me $3300.
Not near enough, imo.
Says that is just in mistakes where the Government overpaid.
Does not include all the fraud.
Where do I sign up? I’m living on Social Security and start to get concerned when the checking account gets down to couple hundred bucks waiting on a deposit! Yet Somalis and others are collecting millions/billions in fraudulent payments!!!
Yeah, I’d like to get some of those mistakes!
this is an interesting article by a doctor. who watched medicine “change” – first with words, then with “systems”…. pretty scary, he notes new doctors think this, what they learn now, is medicine, but it is a far cry from what medicine was…

Britain Again Complains Government Jet’s GPS Guidance Jammed by Russia
“A jet carrying the British minister of defence has again experienced jamming of its navigation and communication systems when flying close to the Russian border, prompting questions on why the aircraft hasn’t been upgraded with hardened radio systems.
A Royal Air Force-operated VIP jet carrying defence minister John Healey back to Britain from Estonia, where he had been inspecting troops deployed to the NATO border country, was subject to alleged electronic warfare jamming by the Russian Federation on Thursday, it is claimed. A Times of London journalist was onboard the executive flight at the time of the jamming and reported the aircraft’s GPS navigation system was inoperable “for the entire three-hour flight back” to Britain.”
sounds like they should be glad it didn’t have machinal failure.
There is a technical solution to stop the jamming:
that’s for the UK/Nazi/CIA Axis of Oligarchy to stop trying to subvert and conquer Russia.
Healy was there on a mission of Manufacturing Endless War and the Russians responded matter-of-factly, like Russians do.
Psalm 34:14
Depart from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
We proclaim You, Lord Jesus, the Prince of Peace, Hallelujah!
“that’s for the UK/Nazi/CIA Axis of Oligarchy to stop trying to subvert and conquer Russia.”
They pretend not to know 3 monstrous facts of European aggression on Russian soil:
1) Napoleon’s devastation of Moscow
2) The Nazi’s siege of Leningrad (St. Petersburg)
3) Zelensky/Azov Nazis/CIA/Nato’s murder of ethnic Russians in the Donbass 13 years ago.
Next time the British Secretary of Defense flies to observe Nato troops on the Russian border, perhaps the Russians will send a stronger message.
He went to all the trouble to make himself a target of opportunity, but Russia does not want to start WW3.
So what is a NATO warmonger to do?
Claim he was attacked by jamming!
BTW, notice that they claim it worked all the way from the front lines until they reached London?
That is amazing. Almost as if the jammer was on the plain.
Or bad maintenance is being passed off as jamming.
I hope you like jamming, too.

Maybe they should stay away from Russia’s borders with ‘spy’ equipment in use.

I’ve postulated that Carney is the ultimate WEF-puppet psycho-lizard Satanist, and not a real green zealot. And that he’s solely focused on becoming a billionaire via Brookfield at any cost, and regardless of consequence to Canada.
https://nitter.net/vesperdigital/status/2059071504961130805#m
Handing Canada over to the CCP to help facilitate the ending of President Trump’s existential threat to the WEF”s New World Order is required for him to be allowed to stay in office.
So when will Canadians kick the grifter to the curb?
Very good question Chris.
One issue is that as well as the entire MSM being bought and paid for by the Liberals, so are the pollsters.
I would say from independent news that maybe there’s some awakening among young adults but for now pathological TDS trumps 😉 any rational thought by boomers and much of Gen X.
Perhaps when USMCA ends in a few months they’ll finally figure it out?
There are many wide awake folks out here in British Columbia.
Tens of thousands of us were in Vancouver and at the Can/U.S. border supporting our truckers, and other freedoms.
Our entire judiciary, media and financial systems are ruled by the power brokers in Eastern Canada.
We shall see but this cannot end well for Canada. Unfortunately many boomers here are extremely well off, and have inherited or will be in line for massive inheritances.
They see nothing wrong here, seniors don’t pay for a ferry M-T on our ferries.
They get discounted bus fares, and several other perks.
All this regardless of income.
This is a massive voting block in Canada where it is believed that something like 70% of females over 65 are left leaning voters, and they ain’t changing.
Cheers!
Lefty foot soldiers convince themselves they are “good” by “helping” others. These older women are entrenched in the belief they are “doing good” and we need to push back on that in every way possible. That belief stops them from seeing the harm they are voting for.
One way is to follow Candidate Partt’s lead. He is excellent at showing that all their efforts lead to zero and in fact make things worse. One example is the recent street cleaning ad he did.
A clear and blunt example is an interview where he gave receipts we could already end homelessness. He made it memorable by saying their are already multiple solutions, including sending some of them back to Seattle where they came from.
We can make a lot of progress by confronting lefties that in fact lefty policies do not make them good people.

🎯 Right on Dekester. All power to you good folk!
From my tiny bastion of (relative) sanity here in Southern ON, I sense that all-consuming TDS has infected the overwhelming majority going East from here all the way to Signal Hill.
But it gradually tapers down to zero going North and West of me, all the way to the Spiral Tunnels.
Then it spikes again in the wealthy boomers, woke libtards and CCP-aligned (or owned) residents of BC as you say.
Hopefully things like the threat of losing of fee simple property rights and AB separation will be enough to wake up them up.
But as you also say, this cannot end well for Canada.
Still working on my plan to escape to AB… 😉

Worm regards, indeed!
We’ve had so much rain worms are having to come up for air.
They were coming onto the concrete apron of the shop and using puddles to move with surprizing speed to the other side.

TEXANS ………… TUESDAY, MAY 26 …………..TODAY!
Time for the Texas primary runoff election – when we will give the two RINOs, cornyn and chippy roy, the final kick out of Texas politics.
*******************************************************************
Vote for Ken Paxton for US Senator ……………………………….Do not vote for John Cornyn.
Vote for Mayes Middleton for Attorney General …………..Do not vote for Chip Roy.
Vote for Jim Wright for Railroad Commissioner …………..Do not vote for Bo French.
*******************************************************************
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Nope, not voting Wright. The other 2 for sure.
I voted French….. I believe wright was endorsed by abbott ad I dont trust anyone he endorses
Bo is the better choice imo. Here’s an excerpt from today’s Texas Scorecard:
Incumbent Railroad Commissioner Jim Wright faces challenger Bo French in a race that has attracted significant donor money, with Wright receiving half-a-million dollars from the casino lobby while French has been heavily backed by conservative PACs.
Most all Conservative orgs agree with Paxton and Middleton, but about half split on Bo French vs. Jim Wright.
Do you have particular orgs tthat you suggest? Two I can think of are split on roy and middleton (Grassroots of America and True Texas Project). Maybe it’s related to $
Here’s a couple… there were some others, but searching for these was not that easy.
https://truetexasproject.com/elections/
https://www.mcteaparty.org/voter-guide
Montgomery party guide does not appear to be updated for the runoff, but they did pick Bo French.
I have to disagree. Bo French is who the major conservative grassroot organizations are recommending
Meanwhile with all eyes on Iran….Ukraine may have just crossed all red lines in world war reddit. Ukraine is now a terrorist nation ……..if they carry out terrorist attacks…..then you are a terrorist.
The Ukrainians struck a girls dormitory on Friday at a teaching college killing 21 and injuring 60 in a targeted, multiple wave drone attack……not a collateral damage scenario, the dorm was the target.
https://www.rt.com/news/640530-lugansk-eu-macron-galloway/
“On Sunday, the Russian Defense Ministry said it had carried out a large-scale retaliatory raid involving hypersonic Oreshnik systems, as well as other missiles and drones, hitting command centers of the Ukrainian ground forces, military intelligence facilities, air bases, and defense industry enterprises. The ministry stressed that the bombardment was a response to terrorist attacks by Kiev and that no civilian facilities had been targeted.”
May 25 (Reuters) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov advised U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday of Moscow’s decision to launch strikes on sites in Kyiv linked to the Ukrainian military, the Russian Foreign Ministry said.
How now EU? You now say that you have no more NATO funds for the Ukrainians but you won’t condemn pure terrorist acts of targeting girls schools by the Ukrainians?
I for one expect the gloves to come off and Russian President Putin to level and sites in Kiev that are in the least military in nature……..watch the lights go out in Kiev.
ReichsFuhrer Zelensky WANTS to provoke WW III.
He works for the World Mafia, not the Ukrainian People, whom he uses as Cannon Fodder.
Exactly Gipper, its a provocation and they (EU & the war pigs) wish the Russians would unleash nuclear weapons on Ukraine to gain the world’s support against Russia.
I expect Russia to step up grinding Ukraine into the dust and level parts of all major Ukraine cities instead. The Ukrainian government should die with a long drawn out whimper.
Ukraine equals the new terrorist state in the world scene and every man’s hand should be against them.
What’s probably frustrating the hell out of some people is that Russia continues to act with restraint – and that it has shown itself capable of sustained engagement, which EU/NATO cannot do.
They want Putin to lose his temper. To unleash a mass attack to gain “territory.” In other words, to fight war in the Western way, instead of the Russian way. And he simply isn’t taking the bait.
None of them now remember what “War” actually is. (Could a British lad today define, “Blitzkreig?” Their late Queen sure the hell could!) Whereas Russia, who paid by far the greatest price in blood in “The Great Patriotic War,” will never allow its people to forget. The “Ghost Regiment” marches again every year …
The girl’s school dormatory is in Ukraine! Ukraine killed Ukrainian children in Ukraine!
I’ve always believed each one should receive a mortgage free home. But for all this foreign money laundering grift and outright theft, this would be an easy no brainer.
Hasan Piker Names Singham, PSL, ANSWER, and Code Pink in One Breath
On stream today, Hasan Piker discussed the reported Treasury scrutiny and said the broader target is “probably Singham” and “his operation,” naming PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation),
ANSWER Coalition, Code Pink, and “anything that he has ever financed.”
He then acknowledged that Roy Singham lives in China and has been “a funding vehicle” for political movements and activism in the United States.
That is exactly why this matters. This was never just about one influencer’s Cuba trip.
It is about the Singham-linked ecosystem, the groups it funds, the delegations it supports, and the political operations built around them.
Hasan didn’t refute the network. He mapped it.
https://nitter.poast.org/thestustustudio/status/2059018248478146896#m
The funding network’s ecosystem and structure is pretty well known now, hence the multiple offensives on various financial axis that Team Trump are consecutively launching, and the MSM’s ignoring.
Talking of which, a UK colleague’s friend’s wife, who was high up in her lefty charity, suddenly lost her job after USAID was effectively shutdown. That was the opening salvo, now the full barrage is being directed at all the covert funding nodes and MSR’s of the globalist shadow government. Hence their squealing’s being remotely broadcast in their numerous media outlets, dressed up as concern for the citizens, rent-a-mobs being booked, and the Democrat Party’s politically suicidal stances.
The funding networks are like worms completely underlying all of government, Federal, UN, China, EU, etc. And billionaires are the chief worms.
In both terms, Trump has been uprooting these worms. Obama’s DOJ, Warren’s CFPB, USAID, all the fraud, etc.
But it is only the tip of the iceberg.
And RINOs are like Lampreys riding sharks. Profitting by letting the sharks do whatever they want.
It will be restored if we don’t keep up the effort.
Yup. In nature’s order parasites generally move on or thin out before their host dies.
The global world order has latched their parasites upon us until they’ve extracted every last drop of blood. That way they’ll be rid of us and the parasites at the same time.
How are things in the U.K.?

Over the past 60 years, Clinton, O-bummer and biden have completed the corruption and criminalization of the national democrats to the extent that Robert Kennedy, Jr made the switch to be a republican in 2024 …… and Alan Dershowitz, the prominent democrat attorney announced in April, 2026 that he was leaving the Democratic party and registering as a Republican …… in his own words:
“I feel I am one of the few people standing up against my old party,” Dershowitz said on an episode of Pod Force One released Wednesday.
“I’ve been a Democrat for 70 years. I now am strongly opposed to that party.”
“I want them defeated in every single election,” Dershowitz added.
Dershowitz said he wants Democrats to lose in all elections because he is “scared” of some in the party.
“I want to see Democrats lose control of the House and lose control of the Senate and lose control of the presidency because I am scared of them,” he said.
“They are against America, they are against Israel, they are against the Jews.”
________________________________
In 2026, the national democrat party has crossed over from just purveyors of “dirty political tricks” to “felonious political warfare.”
In 2026, When an American uses the word “democrat”…… what they really mean is …….
“illegal, illegitimate, illicit, prohibited, unlawful, lawless, wrongful, banned, forbidden, unauthorized, incorrect, taboo, unacceptable, wrong, proscribed, criminal, outlawed, unwarranted, interdicted, felonious, verboten, unsanctioned, improper, unfair, impermissible, dishonest, undue, barred, unjustified, unlicensed, unjust, unofficial, unethical, indefensible, crooked, disallowed, unnecessary, shady, tabu, wicked, immoral, inappropriate, haram, unconstitutional, uncertified, tabu, undeserved, dishonorable, evil, dirty, debarred, groundless, unapproved, pirated, blameworthy, uncalled for, under-the-table, against the law, not allowed, ruled out, not permitted, not acceptable, unsuitable, corrupt, invalid, unrighteous, unscrupulous, indecent, bad, fraudulent, sinful, evil-minded, inadmissible, underhanded, devious, deceitful, unprincipled, vicious, unjustifiable, inequitable, fake, unwarrantable, nonofficial, bootleg, lawbreaking, intolerable, depraved, dodgy, false, vile, unconscionable, cheating, ignoble, unmerited , iniquitous, low, cutthroat, discriminatory, underhand, unworthy, low-down, below the belt, unbearable, untrustworthy, lying, back-alley, inapplicable, prosecutable, deceptive, contracted, insupportable, untenable, unsuited, violating, foul, irregular, malfeasant, racket, extralegal, sleazy, nasty, shameless, inexcusable, under-the-counter, unfitting, bent, discreditable, prejudicial, prejudiced, excessive, nonobjective, bigoted, down in the mud, double-dealing, shabby, unforgivable, dubious, doubtful, parti pris, void, debauched, nefarious, villainous, dark, disreputable, rotten, scam, fishy, slippery, unsavory, unseemly, dirty-dealing, amoral, double-crossing, flimflam, two-timing, Machiavellian, sneaky, two-faced, non-valid, nullified, unusable, creeps, not cricket, terrible, un-American, communist, ANTIFA, globalist, loser, godless, bully, coward, perverted, vote fraudsters, broke, demonic, diabolical, accursed, shiftless, no-count, hypocritical, phony, creepy, grifting, lousy, miserable, addled, nonsensical, idiotic, moronic, racist, swalwell’n, murphy’n, allen’n, foreign agent, dumb-o-crats’”.
Our founding father’s never planned on having this type of unconstitutional, communist, criminal involved in, much less, in charge of any element of America’s 3 branches of government.
If a citizen votes for any democrat in 2026 ……. they ARE a democrat, not only in name but also in deed ….. they will own it forever.
It is time for individual democrats to face the facts that the party and the media have been lying to them and to take the initiative to leave the democrat party in its current condition.
They would just be following the recent u-haul migration of Americans out of the democrat run blue states / cities into the red, republican run states / cities.
Register and vote republican for the 2026 – 2028 elections to restore common sense to America’s politics.
You can always go back. But, you recognize, like Alan Dershowitz has, that the current crop of democrats need to be removed from making public policy for America, post haste.
Democrats, through their words and deeds have become the pariah of America’s political class. Americans and America deserve better leaders.
MAGA / America First isn’t just our motto, it is our duty!
Hey, Dersh – they’re the same as they’ve ever been. Alas, you gave, I’ll guess, hundreds of thousands of dollars to them over the years.
You funded the unmanageable monster its become. Now its turned on you.
And you’ve always been a smart guy! Just think of the millions of low IQ useful idiot losers – all accidents waiting for a place to happen.

Rabbi Nechemia Schusterman of Peabody, Massachusetts, wrote something this week that every American should sit with.
Over the past few weeks, his family has been targeted again and again by strangers in passing cars. His brother-in-law, walking to synagogue, had “Heil Hitler” screamed at him. During Shavuot — a holy day celebrating the giving of the Torah — a car rolled by yelling “Free Palestine,” then “f—ing Jews,” then a taunt so vile the rabbi hesitated to write it down: that he should 𝐫∗𝐩𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐝𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.
Then they came for his children. His 15-year-old son was spat at from a passing car and called “dirty Jew.” What shook the rabbi most was that it wasn’t some reckless teenager — it was the adult in the car, a father, screaming the slur over the boy crouching beside him. Teaching the next generation to hate.
This isn’t Berlin in 1938. It’s 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐬, 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐰.
“𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘪𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴”, the rabbi wrote. “𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘴𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺”.
He didn’t ask for pity. He asked his neighbors — Jewish and not — to see it, say it out loud, and refuse to look away.

Obama’s Arab Spring started in earnest to get rid of ‘Bible Thumpers and guns’ and usher in communism and Islam.
God Help US
“Islam” and communism are very similar systems of government. Most Massachusetts residents will embrace either.
Also, there is a fairly strong link between ISLAM (Farrakhan) and SCIENTOLOGY.
That’s right. Islam is NOT a religion but a system of government. All in the U.S. that believe in that crap should be thrown out.

US and Iran clash near Hormuz even as both tout talks progress

And Brent drops to $96. Even traders and investers are bored with it. This is the status quo. Stay in gulf (they’ve got to be somewhere) and take out some of the speed boats as they appear. Bleed the IRGC dry.
As far as I can figure out, Iran sent out mine layers.
We destroyed them.
Iran used air defense to target our aircraft taking out their mine layers.
We destroyed those air defense systems.
The media all claim the US attacked Iran.
Not a good sign for those that hope Iran will stop aggressing.
But then it could be one of those king of the molehill fights where the Chinese kept attacking some useless hill in Korea, and the US kept retaking it. While peace negotiations were ongoing. Mostly to test US resolve. Wasting a lot of lives.
Where letting them get away with it guarantees the war won’t end.
PT needs to start using his powers against the lying Media that push lies to hurt the US. Where is the FCC …? Take their license away and watch them scream…we don’t care ,scream all you want. Re implement the Smith Mundt Act.

Didn’t the SCOTUS declare that their restriction and rules where not lawful, that those rules were to come from Congress. The EPA had no authority. Just spend a day doing EO’s so these businesses don’t have to file in court.
It is time for POTUS to focus on getting the US business in order.
How many here are familiar with the spy cameras going up?
A black pole with a black camera with a solar panel on top about ten ft tall on the side of the road?
Any information that can be gleaned from a picture is gathered.
How many times do you go by and when? How many people are in the car? How many scratches and dents are on your car? Is your registration out? Who is driving? etc.
Don’t worry, it is going to get much worse.
from what been reported, they been there for quite a while.
The one near me is brand new. New intersection traffic lights with cameras above and that camera on the pole with a solar panel attached incredible amounts of watching everyone and everything.
Why then havent they found anything on Nancy Guthrie’s abduction and probable murder??
https://banishbigbrother.com/flock-camera-map/
🤔
What’s really concerning beyond the ‘police/government’ tracking your movements is that, according to the web site, tracking information is being sold to PRIVATE COMPANIES! We truly are living in a CORRUPTED surveillance state……
The pole will be gone soon.
Now they are placing the cameras directly into the car.
They are in your home listening and iff possible watching.
There was a new stretch of highway built in Idaho. When I drove it I noticed two boxes near the road, about a tenth of a mile apart, each with two antennas on top.
Are these to record the tire pressure sensors as you drive by? I recall someone saying that they can figure out your driving habits, where you go, etc, from these. Tire pressure sensors are local wifi to get the information to your car’s computer.
In any case, I dislike those boxes intensely.
My car is too old for that stuff. Not buying a new one ever again.

Nothing will happen except that guy will get chased out of town. Barnstable is hopeless and scummy. 🤷🏽♂️
A very wealthy town. May as well be Martha’s Vineyard.
A politician explained this to me many ago when I was involved local/county battles related to Agenda21 urbanization.
A wealthy town had on it’s Council agenda. 2 items involving a few million dollars each. One was to borrow $6M bond for a new fire station needed in the high density downtown urbanization. The other was to spend about $5M cash to build a boutique hotel there, which they were going to turn over to a private LLC.
Crazy on the surface right? The local taxpayer organization that asked me to help, made a very strong case. After the meeting, a councilman pulled me aside and said something like “look. I am with you on this but you will never make a case in this town based on excesses with taxpayer money. The people running this town boast about raising taxes. We can can double property taxes for this stuff and they’ll joke about it over martinis.”

But can we really? I see no real effort to confront the death cult called islam! Two things that should be done immediately: One is end the legal immigration of muslims from anywhere in the world! Two denaturalize and deport all muslims! The sharia law problem would be solved!!!
Here is the problem, that little girl is an American Citizen. How can you send her back? The guard at the San Diego Mosque that was killed has 8 children. They will eventually BE the majority here.
Soap box, ballot box and then the ammo box…🇺🇲
Obama’s Arab Spring ushered Sharia into the USA in order to get rid of ‘Bible Thumpers and guns’ and spread Islam.
Mass migration was instituted to attain that goal.
Obama wanted to stop Christians – Mexicans and South Americans from entering, though. He deported them, never islamic immigrants.
God Help US
Today the Texas Senate Runoff between Paxton and the execrable, corrupt Cornyn is our Midterm Election.
If Cornyn wins, the heretic Talarico’s chances of taking the seat in November increase. And we cannot have that..
VOTE FOR PAXTON, FELLOW TEXANS!!!
TODAY!!!!
Paxton needs to win. It comes down to this for me. Above all else, I want my elected officials to represent the people that elected them. Cornyn is a despicable RINO. He will vote the right way on all the little things to claim 90% conservative, but screw us over on every big thing. He must be defeated and his kind must never rise again.
If the unthinkable happens and Cornyn wins the primary I will not vote for him in the general. His political career ends here.
We are a Cornyn household. They are both vile, but Paxton is a more despicable human being. We don’t need those folks running Texas anymore.
Talarico will have a much easier time defeating Paxton, too.
Is that you Jeb?
Dude, I’ve seen enough of your posts. You’re a Talarico household. I have to give you credit for your dedication to your job. I trust you got paid double for all your posts on Memorial Day.
Nothing says potential GOP congressional star like “scandal-plagued lawyer”.
Your morals are showing.
No one who supports a man who twists and perverts Scripture gets to lecture me on morality.
Note: Pickleball Steve is a troll. Ignore.
Lol what…
You’re not a Cornyn household, Picklebrain, you’re a communist. Just to set the record straight.
Show don’t tell, it speaks volumes for your veracity and motives for posting here.
pickled again I see. Have you tried therapy? Or better yet AAA, another annoying anti-American
Question for Talarico – Where is the beef?
What is a vegan doing running in Texas?
Your democrat colors are showing through everytime you post.
😆😆😆
Only way that creep wins is if they cheat….
Thank you for proving my point, Charles.
AG Paxton has worked tirelessly for Texas. He has been successful in the main.
Cornyn has worked for himself, a Chamber of Commerce man and all that means.
Hold on to your Stetson and pray.
💯%
“He will vote the right way on all the little things to claim 90% conservative, but screw us over on every big thing. “
The same as Massie. Not there when hisg vote was needed.
I left multiple messages via email and voicemail for Cornyn. I asked him to get the Save America Act passed, and fund DHS. I also requested a reply.
I never got that.
Proudly voted for Ken Paxton last week.
And if you are in Denton, please vote for Erica Garland and not the Beck or the Fairy – both very liberal democrats who should not ever be on City Council

Might be fake. Admin, please delete at your discretion.
I hate to be giving advice, but we must be very careful about what we post, each click give them credit.
Here is who you linked to:
The people voted, not AIPAC. Massie’s acts while in Congress were his own.
Massie was bankrolled by a Pro Israel Billionaire. Per Grok—-Jeff Yass, a pro-Israel billionaire, has donated to Massie’s campaigns for at least three election cycles via Susquehanna International, per FEC filings. Yass also funds the Kohelet Policy Forum, an Israeli think tank. The claim checks out—Massie’s got financial ties to pro-Israel money despite his
AIPAC-zero record.
I replied… it is fake.
Taq – please do a little research before reposting this crap.
No, that AIPAC post is not legit—it’s fake.
The screenshot circulating (the one with the sarcastic line about elected officials being “free to disagree with us, but only briefly https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f60a.svg” and the photo of Massie and another man) is a fabricated or edited image that’s been spreading as rage bait.
Key evidence:
Some just want to believe what they want to believe. Read ‘On Stupidity’ by the Protestant pastor Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
A great article on The American spectator about the demise and role of psychiatrists in the current Mental health Crisis spawn violence and suicide by cause by the over prescription of drugs. The article is set in context of RFK Jr’s efforts to address the tragedy of over prescription of psychiatric drugs.
https://spectator.org/the-crisis-behind-americas-mental-health-crisis/
This article is a great companion piece to an article from a few months ago, on the American Spectator, that described how these psychiatric drugs literally wreck the moral inhibitions we each naturally have as well as expose the weakened psyches of those with mental issues to 24/7 bombardment on social media as well as major Media encouraging them to commit violent acts.
Besides the drugs prescribed “legally” by psychiatrists .. listen to the, side effect ending warnings, commercials for nearly every drug for everything from weight loss to curing every new 3-letter ailment of the day … “thoughts of suicide, depression, … may occur”.
The FDA and NIH are also culprits in the rush to put mind altering drugs on the market for profit and more nefariously to create ticking time bombs among us … as well as create more NEW 3-Letter ailments requiring MORE NEW DRUGS.
Advertised endlessly now on radio stations too.
Home cooked whole foods with variety.
Regular exercise that pushes your physical limits.
No alcohol, don’t smoke, no drugs.
Cures 99% of illness. Medical industry spending cut 80% if everybody did it.
I wonder if a compulsory Marine boot camp-like experience wouldn’t be much more effective than the drugs for mental illness.
Back in the 90’s, IL had a very popular agenda for the kids in Juvi…it was called “Boot Camp”. The kids scrambled to try and ‘qualify’ for it…it worked…
Exactly! There are whole aisles in grocery stores which should be avoided altogether, they have nothing but sugar laded cookies, chocolate candies and sugar filled sodas! So to the bakery in most grocery stores, with donuts, pastries and cinnamon rolls! When I was growing we only got those kinds of items as treats on very special occasions not with every meal! Don’t remember any of my classmates as being obese. But that was before fast food and before frozen meals!
50% of health issues are genetic, the other 50% are lifestyle choices. If one looks at every medicine available for so called mental illness the side effects are so great that the drugs shouldn’t be approved. Psychiatry is voodoo medicine, they know very little about the brain and how it works, yet have been given authority to drug people to the max.
Genetic health issues per grok: likely under 5-10% for overall health issues, and closer to 1% for strictly “purely genetic” cases.
The problem is the food, lack of exercise and environmental for those that are really poor and live in a polluted area.
A necessary addition to the linked article.
https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-evidence-ssri-antidepressants
No, the root of much mental illness is not,in fact, childhood trauma. Some is, obviously, but not all.
There is increasing evidence that much of it is rooted in impaired mitochondrial function, due in large part to environmental causes like “food” that contains inflammatory substances.
I get that she’s correct in her complaint about the effect of insurance payment codes. That explains a lot, and that state of affairs leaves a lot of patients with really crappy mental healthcare overall. It needs to be fixed, if only because it is difficult to have any respect for, or relationship with, a person whose only function is as a pill dispensary.
Depends on whether your definition of “Trauma/ trauma” is accurate or not – most people don’t understand Trauma or how deeply traumatized a small/ tiny Human can be by events – physical, chemical, emotional, Spiritual –
that an adult barely notices or thinks is “normal, just life”.
The younger, smaller a Human is, the easier it is to harm, damage, traumatize one permanently.
‘Childhood trauma’ happens long – years – after the most physically & emotionally damaging assault-events on an infant, a fetus, a zygote first occur.
One of many examples is fetal alcohol syndrome – which takes its toll in the earliest windows of development – nothing goes right after that *because foundational development of the Human nervous system is derailed*;
same with *many other insults* on the tiny developing Human.
Some people develop PTSD from war/military service experiences – others have same experiences yet do not develop PTSD… why not?
BECAUSE the PTSD people already have too much *unresolved* early &/or very early trauma to cope with more later recent trauma; their resiliance is low already from being trapped inside unresolved trauma, and their coping mechanisms & skills are simply not strong enough – or used up entirely – to come though another string of traumatic events unscathed.
Critical windows of Human development are largely ignored when thinking of “trauma” as
*weakening & sensitizing events* (such as impaired mitochondrial function, btw)
and the long-lasting effects of unresolved trauma- and look where it’s gotten us;
apparently people who ignore very early & early – as in gestational & infancy – developmental insults & disruption also think even ‘childhood trauma’ is largely inconsequential to later life & functioning.
THIS has replaced Vx as my most annoying frustration – Vx toxicity & damage is being exposed by Sunlight & noticed more; finally…
yet a quote – 2 actually – from the article Alex linked still applies to man-made Human illness & damage:
“… One of the immensely depressing things for someone who is awake to this issue is watching the same script be repeated…”
AND
“… taking an SSRI during pregnancy { significantly increases the risk of a fetal birth defect)}.…”
Chemical Trauma = disrupted development = permanent maiming aka ‘functional impairment’; as do other physical, + emotional & Spiritual traumas during foundational development.
When will THIS other **totally-avoidable-mass-damage** scourge on Humans
– maiming tiny Humans at the very beginning of life –
be noticed & taken seriously
by more than a few???

We have friends/family suicides, all they did was kept switching the meds.
Woke up this morning and noticed cnn lamenting that Texas might make a choice for senate candidate that could actually lead to Texas turning blue.
If that ain’t reason enough to support Ken Paxton, I don’t know what is.
Please, if you live in Texas help us finally get rid of this establishment rino!
We can’t suffer another 6 years of corruption and betrayal to our country by folks that say they are on our side, but forget about the promises they made as soon as they return to Washington.
This is true as I see it, Mike. See my post above…
Talarico is what I call plausible, at least to godless Dems who wil use their support of him to advertise their pseudo “Christian” virtues. The ones which are destroying this nation.
His is a face that sends chills me to the bone anyway. His public utterances and beliefs leave me feeling as if I am face to face with a demon. I can’t be plainer than that.
Talarico isn’t perfect, but he has far more Christian virtues than any other politician in Texas right now.
I totally get why MAGA doesn’t like him.
“He looks like one of us, Paw.”
Pickled Steve is a troll. Ignore.
Everyone should start flagging his posts…
What is good for the goose is good for the gander .🖖🏻
Hmmmm….the flags have been removed? 🤔
Seems so…
No, he’s not perfect; instead, he is an evil person.
I’ve just given you more time for pickleball……

Thank you!
When do we get the r3d flags back? 🤔
Talarico “has all the hallmarks” – to quote from the classics – of the type of future felon one does not want to leave their children alone with. Not even for a minute.
Talarico is a demon which explains why you are left with a feeling that you are face to face with one when you hear him.

Transrico hasn’t got a snowballs chance of winning Texas, no matter who wins the nomination today.
Just good old fashioned psyops, just like that time that rabbit begged NOT to be thrown into the brier patch.
Cornyn is begging Dems to vote for him in this Open Primary..
Not long to wait now.
I can offer some plainer language….
A quick prayer….”In the name of Jesus Christ, Satan be gone”.
And what will be done about it? 🥱🥱🥱 Over throwing Republican Presidents apparently isn’t against the Constitution! Who knew?
Please send copies to Sen Tillis.
So when are Wray and those FIB agents going to be arrested? I’ll bet it will be on the 12th of Never.
ask the right question WHO UNLOCKED THE DOORS
All I can say, what is happening to our world. People who are abusing our children are now getting even higher leadership roles. If it was just one student, could say it was just a made up story, but it looks like its several children being abused.
Educator, suspended for allegedly abusing autistic student, elected Seattle teachers’ union presidentA police report obtained by the local outlet supplemented the family’s accusations and divulged extra details about the special ed teacher allegedly grabbing several students by the arm to the point where they complained about it hurting them.
https://nypost.com/2026/05/12/us-news/teacher-suspended-for-allegedly-abusing-autistic-student-elected-seattle-teachers-union-president/
I still recall the teacher meeting at my all-boy, Catholic high school in the mid-1980’s, when the principal (a priest) announced that, because of all the lawsuits in the news at that time about “teachers abusing students,” we were no longer to do anything – anything, including a pat on the back, a tap on the shoulder, having a student stand in a corner after school as a punishment, even standing close to a student – physical toward a student.
The school’s lawyers advised that we should keep away, preferably by at least a yard, which was basically impossible, if you wanted to help a student at his desk!
Anyway, that character should not be in charge of dung heap, let alone a Special Education classroom!
Why and how did she get elected? Check her city, her skin color, her gender, and her I.Q. (below average, so that she blindly follows orders from the Communist DEMS).
Of course she was elected!
Seeing abuse in the public schools is one of the main reasons I will NOT sub anymore.
Last time was two very young special ed students,. I reported to two different levels of people. Nothing was done & that person is still there
The face that sunk a thousand ships. Why, oh why do they always look like you expect them to look, which is a DEI version of a Gerry Anderson puppet.

Interesting take on religions. This woman has some very good articles on her FB page. She seems to be pro America and is a Christian. I know many here dislike FB to the max and yes it’s a very dicey place sometimes. That caution not withstanding, I have a page to connect with family all across the country, I have discovered other pages that offer some very good information and viewpoints. Making sure they are legit is always recommended though and not always easy so buyer beware.

Et tu, Brute?
Given that a cabinet meeting has been called for Wednesday, at Camp David, in light of having struck Iranian assets in the Strait of Hormuz yesterday in self-defense, it may be time for some gloom and doom.
There was a 99 percent probability that Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz, when we started bombing them. Everybody could see that. But no plans were made to keep the strait open, apparently. When the closure happened, we were told it was no big deal, that the Navy could reopen the Strait at any time, and that they did that sort of thing routinely.
Then Operation freedom was on and off and on and off. Now, countries around the world are drawing down their stocks of petroleum products. You don’t just lose 20 percent of the world supply of petroleum from the market without consequence. In a matter of weeks, Demand Destruction will ensue. It will result in a worldwide recession. Such a worldwide recession is likely, by September, to result in a gigantic stock market crash, given the fundamentals holding up the present bubble are already eroded.
So, it might do to send in the Marines to open the Strait of Hormuz. Negotiations with the Iranian terrorists are futile. Everyone can see that. The latest offers to pay bribes to them to reopen the Strait are absurd. Scott Bessent was supposed to cut off their money, not pay more to them. They are asking for two payments of $12 billion, just to continue talking to us. What the?
We/PDJT/USA do not care if the straight is open. We get zero oil from the ME. Here is a list, in order, of countries hurt by no oil flow: 1) Iran. 2) Iran 3) China 4) Europe. (1&2 shows double hit for Iran). The other ME countries are already bypassing the straight with pipelines. UAE and Saudi Arabia are nearly back to normal flow. BTW. getting Venezuela back on line was part of the plan.
Yes we do care, because oil is fungible. We pay a higher price, if oil is bid up any other place in the world. Since the Strait of Hormuz was closed, oil from the United States has been exported given higher prices abroad. This has caused the price of gasoline at the pump to double, a 100 percent increase since Hormuz was closed, here in the United States. Opening the Strait benefits our voters here at home.
Iran makes public irrational demands all the time, but talk differently in actual negotiations. Just ignore their ridiculous public statements.
It is a distinction without a difference. Nothing they say can be relied upon.
This comment must be amended to reflect that our host Sundance has reported that the Wednesday Camp David cabinet meeting was a leak trap.
Setback for re-districting in Alabama
Judges Marcus (Clinton), Manasco, and Moorer (both Trump) from U.S. District Court N.D. Ala blocked Republicans’ congressional map that would’ve given the party a potential pickup opportunity in moving Rep. Shomari Figures (D-AL2) into the red corner.
According to these Judges, SCOTUS’s Calais ruling doesn’t impact their finding that the map intentionally discriminates against Black voters in violation of the Constitution.
AL-AG Marshall (R) will directly appeal to SCOTUS. As the clock is ticking, main questions is:
If he wins this case, does he make it just in time for the midterms?

A quick injunction against the ruling is more likely.

In the 1980s, the Norwegian salmon farming industry ran into a colour problem.
Wild salmon are pink because they eat krill and small crustaceans containing a pigment called astaxanthin. The pigment accumulates in the muscle tissue and gives the flesh its colour. That colour is one of the cues a diner uses, consciously or otherwise, to decide whether the fish on the plate is appetising.
Farmed salmon, raised on soy protein, corn meal, fish meal from wild-caught smaller fish, and stabilisers, do not eat krill. They do not accumulate astaxanthin. Without intervention, their flesh is grey. Washed-out, unappealing grey.
Nobody buys a grey salmon.
So the industry adopted synthetic astaxanthin, manufactured by Hoffmann-La Roche, originally developed as a feed additive to brighten poultry yolks. It is added to salmon feed in measured doses.
The doses are calibrated against a colour chart called the SalmoFan, produced by the same company, which the farmer holds against a slice of flesh from a slaughtered fish to confirm the pigmentation has reached the commercially desirable shade.
A few years ago, there was a product, a nutritional fish oil supplement allegedly from Norway, I think….that pushed the idea that it was made with ‘krill’, which was supposed to be ‘better’ for you as opposed to the old stand by of plain old “fish oil” capsules…
So I don’t wonder if the ‘left overs’ are in the human product are the ‘by product’ of special feed for salmon?
Kind of like the uses of left over fluoride?
Sounds like the butcher that uses dye on the old meat before it gets ground and put in a non see through wrapper.
I have been around fish farms here on the west coast of British Columbia .
The pens are disgusting, filled with lice etc.
**Never – never Never EVER – buy farmed salmon**
Wild-caught ONLY –
Good Golly Miss Molly! Eating GMO-fed farmed salmon is NUTS.
A fisherman’s daughter responds. We catch and process….The farmed salmon is a no go for anyone…be concerned because of all the chemicals and antibiotics used to keep the penned ush alive,
I am guessing the fish oil from the areas that farm salmon is from the farmed salmon….because fish oil comes from fish!!!!! buy only wild caught fish…period. if using any fish oil for yourself or pets, know the source.
Thank God!

Leaving no doubt that a school and its children were the intended target.
Ten employees from the Starobelsk Professional College in Russia’s Lugansk People’s Republic have been added to the ‘kill list’ run by Ukraine’s state-linked Mirotvorets website, just days after a dormitory at the facility was targeted by Kiev in a drone strike that killed 21 students.
According to data from the website, the recent entries include seven women and three men, among them deputy directors and teachers at the college. The database accuses them of publicly supporting Russia, attempting to undermine Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and spreading propaganda among minors.
The Mirotvorets database, which has been linked to the Ukrainian security services, is notorious for publishing the addresses and personal details of anyone critical of the Kiev regime, including journalists, athletes, artists, and politicians, some of whom have subsequently been assassinated.
THIS IS WHY the Ukrainian FSB Headquarters was Tartgeted
