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 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.
Day 217 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
Tehran At The Crossroads: Iran’s Civilian Leaders Call For Peace Amid Crippling U.S. Blockade | ZeroHedge
Iran’s top civilian officials are publicly urging an end to the ongoing conflict with the United States, exposing a deepening internal rift as they attempt to rein in hardliners who champion continued resistance.
https://share.google/yTFkJS97c23m0XhIs
How interesting that their entire focus is all about avoiding humiliation and PROJECTING strength.
Whatever works.
“though he cautioned against making concessions that would appear humiliating on the global stage.“
Then speaking for their MIA leader:
“We are not going to humiliatingly back down before the enemy or bow our heads. We can sit down with strength, but also with logic, and resolve our problems.”
This seems like a good sign to me.
They consistently consider Reality as optional…reminds one of the Enemedia
“…the Enemedia”
I haven’t seen that before, but it is terrific and hilarious!
No, you cannot sit down with strength, dignity or logic to solve this. You can go away.
Remember that the Q’ran tells them to “lie to the infidel.”
The sad part is that civilian officials have no say. I doubt even religious officials control anything. Iran has devolved from a military supported religious tyranny to a cluster of out of control military fiefdoms.
Watch a few more “civilian leaders” get slaughtered. Like what happened to 50,000 people just like them.
Do you believe it was 50,000 ???…. they saying 7,500 half of the security personnel….
IRAN …been invited to “Muslim NATO” TURKEY/KSA/PAKISTAN…. over the weekend …..and this change many things in the region……it’s very likely they would agree join.
Don’t fall for it!!

Thank you for your research and excellent presentation. I highly recommend everyone take a few minutes and digest this information.
There are no accidents or coincidents, everything is conspired and planned. The power held by the Intelligence Community is overwhelming and nefarious.
Or, you could just pay attention to what Sundance has carefully, and HONESTLY researched, compiled and provided to us for FREE for the last 15 years. – At great personal and financial expense.
Leads to the same end, but I don’t recall these incestuous organizations in the commentary. He has definitely nailed down the players and the seditious six.
Data Republican is a slick limited hangout. A member of the same group that finances and promotes the PaidCaster™️Wars. Part of an IC Op. Mike Benz could not generate the same simp-athy that DR can.
I generally agree. It’s a weird op she runs / fronts there.
Amen to that!
yup!
I would like to read it, but it wouldn’t open for me since I don’t have an account. If the article wasn’t too long, perhaps someone with an account could post it here?

Thank you so much. I read the article and marked the nitter.net information for the future.
Shining a light is a baby step (identifying the players).
Needs to dissolve and be neutered.
How to disentangle from this poisonous vine is overwhelming.
God bless Sundance and all the patriots!
👍💕
Definitely a great read–I had not been aware of Rosa Brooks before.
Thanks. We need Mary McCord in front of a firing squad. Yet she still is committing treason/sedition to this day
Yep, it’s an ongoing conspiracy to commit treason and sedition. It has not stopped. And Mary (or Marty) McCord is front and center.
And it does look like they will skate free. The GJ in Florida seems to be taking a VERY long time establishing it’s case(s). The evidence has been there for a long time…just look at the timelines and details of Sundance’s work.
🎯
Wow.
Very interesting!
The problem is that nothing will be done about this seditious/treasonous behavior.
Soros is the devil and Rosa Brooks and Mary McCord, et al are his minions.
Georgetown University seems to be the epicenter of the operation.
Jez You Its
Pretty elaborate cartoons laying out the crimes.
The real travesty here is that Mary McCord has yet to be arrested and tried for treason.
God willing her turn cometh AZ. 🙏🏽

Why can’t Congress balance a budget? Because people keep voting them into office when they don’t, while handing out cash (taxpayer money) gets them reelected.
How do they become millionaires while in office? Insider trading. They know with who and when a huge government contract is about to be awarded to a company before everyone else so can buy early. They also know before everyone else when a company is about to be terminated before everyone else, so can sell early too.
“it’s usually futile to try to beat the market using short-term trading. Daily price moments are highly manipulated by Wall Street insiders. Index fund rebalancing. automated trading orders, and pump’n’dump media personalities amplify the movements. If you trade individual stocks, always, ALWAYS use a limit order based on your predetermined reasonable price. Unless you work for a multi-billion dollar firm, you’re unlikely to have the same kind of timely information needed to beat top traders.”
Unless you are a member of Congress, see Paul and Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy Pelosi and her husband’s stock investments during her 37-year congressional career yielded roughly $130 million in profits, representing a 16,930% return compared to the S&P 500’s 2,300% gain over the same
We don’t “vote” them in anymore. These people are dug in like ticks sucking the lifeblood out of US taxpayers.
Election fraud is what keeps them there now.
And the masses tolerate the whole thing. This toleration is tacit, implied consent. The masses are simply getting the government they deserve and they’ll continue getting it until they expressly withdraw their consent.
Tolerate it, hell the Libs not only support it they demand more of it. See the ‘DSA’.
So do so-called conservatives, unfortunately. I don’t see many actual conservatives withdrawing their consent to be (mis-)governed by immoral administrations or their policies. As a matter of fact, I see many of them clamoring for more as well. So, no it’s not only so-called liberals.
What is worse is in Republican majority areas like South Dakota or Wyoming where we could get an America First patriot elected we end up with the John Thunes and John barrasso ‘s –It is “Republicans “that betray us the most
They are not Republicans. They are imposters, RINOs, call them what you will.
It might be interesting to find out who they collectively use as a financial advisor. There is someone whispering into their collective ears, all the while the so called advisor is making boatloads of $$$
Right! The fees for processing the purchases of stock. Or is the broker paying THEM for the inside information?
They passed fierce laws which prohibit corporate “C-Team” members from doing that, but actually carved out an explicit exception for themselves.
That’s funny right there.
Just as a matter of interest, has there ever been a balanced budget in America or any western country.
Yes, when the REPUBLICAN Dominated Congress actually Governed during Bill Clinton’s second term and they strong armed Billy into an actual surplus.
Some will argue that the surplus came at the cost of gutting DoD and other key Government programs but it was a surplus .. and was delivered by Newt Gingrich before he and Republicans helped tear up the Contract with America.
As the average American would understand what the phrase “balanced budget” means, 1969, when gold still restricted the Treasury’s ability to pile up debt. Every claim after that is b.s. and ignorance.
Iran’s Oil Exports to China Crumble Under U.S. Blockade

MARK TWAIN: “When a thoughtful & unbiased person examines the Quran, he will know without any question that every Muslim is insane.”
Not insane, simply childish. Read the Quran as though it were written as the spiritual system in a set of rules for adolescent fantasy gamer’s, adventuring in the Boris Vallejo-inspired world of Islamia.
Interesting, for a final revelation, its theology is decidedly inferior in content and creativity to any of its predecessors, with clear signs of incompetent plagiarism. Strange that the Almighty should decide that his last words to humanity were akin to a scaffolded, differentiated product for low achievement students.
Is it really a theology ?
No, it is an evil, barbaric, heathen cult from hell.
Amen!!!! It’s a death cult!!! And yet I have a liberal “Christian” former friend tell me that the God of the Bible and allah were the same! I also know of a Presbyterian church that held joint worship services with muslims in a Kumbaya moment!!! Meanwhile the Christians in Africa are being slaughtered by muslims! So much for islam being a religion of peace gw bush!!!!
Someone let me know when there’s a story of Christians slaughtering muslims!!!
Women are treated terrible.
What happened to NOW?
God is in charge!
Operates more like a tyrannical governing ideology.
Insane. All the rules regarding stoning women,marrying children and the rest. Totally insane
DOn’t forget the cousin marriage which leads to inbred mutants
Not childish but evil.
You may find this interesting….or not.
https://www.frontpagemag.com/king-charles-and-the-demise-of-britain/
It is intensely interesting, Betsy.
And quite sad to contemplate the end result.
At his Coronation , Charles mouthed the Oath according to his mother’s wishes/command, Eagle. And he did so upon the Bible. I listened intently because at one time, he expressed a desire to change it to “All Faiths”, and she wouldn’t have it.
But after, the Archbishop added a few words which indicated that he would forsake that Oath as ” Defender of the Faith”, as you have read, for some modern day, heretical wokeism. ” Space”??
Abhorrence!!!
But to be expected, given his appalling preference for the death cult which, as he has said, can teach so much.
A Ramadan lunch at Windsor on Ash Wednesday when those who objected outsode to the shameful disregarding of that day were arrested tells the tale.
He is either blissfully unaware of centuries of Islamic atrocities and conquest, or he has decided to cherry pick and ignore.
A frightful man who has betrayed Britain in the most appalling and unforgivable dereliction of his birthright.
Well stated, Betsy!
I personally believe that he has gone mad.
Childish, like a Chuckie doll?
Twain was not a believer of any organized religion.
The Holy Book is my religion!
Some dear friends of ours just returned from a trip to France, particularly Paris where they stayed 3 days and nights. Said there were mudslimes EVERYWHERE. They couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there. France is toast……… burnt toast.
See the link I’ve left below to Robert Spencer’s FrontPage Magazine article on the transition phase of Britain, from the birthplace of Western liberal values to Islamic caliphate. Paris isn’t alone in it’s tragic demise.
More erstwhile American tourists would be advised to do a little research before they embark on a journey to a Europe which no longer comports with their starry eyed expectations.
Link above, not below….
Agree, Betsy. I never understood why they would want to waste their time and money going to a place like that. They could have gone anywhere else!
Our dad took a month off work, bought a travel trailer and took the family on a journey of all the United States West of Ohio.
Nothing can compare with that trip.
Can’t wait to see him again in the restored world.
🫂❤️🤗
I am retired now. When my grandfather retired he bought a camper on a 3/4 ton ‘68 Chevy and he and my grandmother started traveling. They traveled for 20 years, owning several campers or travel trailers during that period. That is the kind of travel that I would like to do while I still can. I traveled a lot when I was still working but there are a lot of places that I want to take my wife to see from coast to coast. Our beautiful country has so many wonders and treasures to explore. God Bless America!
True! I’ll never forget Mount Rushmore, Yellowstone and Tetons, etc. the singing, laughing and joy of being with family in God’s creation is treasure for heaven.
Campfire, no TV, just joy and God’s earth.
❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🦅
It sounds to me as if they weren’t students of the world as it is now, WD. Certainly not followers of current events. Most of the rest of Western Europe has fallen also.
Oh but for saying, “We’re going to Paris!!”
Unfortunately my experience as an expat who lived many years abroad in a town which saw thousands of
American tourists has convinced me that most travelling Americans are the same.
Lots of beautiful places to travel to and visit here in the United States.
My sister and I went to Santorini Greece last year. Not one muslim in sight. And all the churches were either Catholic or Greek Orthodox.
Venice was a different story, but not anything like Paris or London. Yet.
Greece has begun….taking care of the problem, Mims.
Good they whip ed themselves.
Forty percent of school children in Vienna are foreign born. It won’t be long now.
Same with north England when I visited there last summer. Never wish to return.
Northern, southern, eastern, western, the whole of the UK and now Ireland.
That absolutely breaks my heart.
This is a video that explains the origins of Islam.
David, the publisher of the video, studies ancient languages and texts and is a very thorough researcher when it comes to historical documents.
(edit grammatical error)
Islam is a construct, a corrupt and dangerous political ideology, invented long years ago by a demonic, destructive organization.
0.o
A classic trait of a cult is that its beliefs will serve the sexual perversions of its leader.
Here’s the rest of the quote from Twain’s Christian Science (1907)
“When I, a thoughtful and unblessed Presbyterian, examine the Koran, I know that beyond any question every Mohammedan is insane; not in all things, but in religious matters.”
“When a Mohammedan looks at me, he knows that beyond any question I am insane; not in all things, but in religious matters.”
… was going to write how wrong he was but…
… to a mohammedan every action of every day is prescribed or proscribed so there is nothing but “religious matters.”
The Quran is a master class in terms of being a Political Document, created to support conquest and occupation of conquered lands.
It includes a doctrine that demands unquestioned faith and total rejection of anything contrary to that doctrine, to the point that destruction of anything contrary to Islam is a necessity.
The brilliant part is encapsulated in the line from the 1976 Movie covering the early life and rise of the Profit Mohamed, when he escapes to Africa and meets the mythical Emperor Prester John seeking sanctuary after being nearly destroyed in Arabia …. Mohamed spouts quotes from the New and Old Testaments of the Bible to convince Prester John they come in peace … In the movie Prester John states, “the difference between you and I is as thin as this line (he draws)”.
The Quran, most astutely and cleverly weaves bits and pieces of the Jewish Pentateuch and Christian Bible into it’s stories and histories … in an effort to show allot of commonality with Judaism and Christianity.
From the 4th century forward there is a common fact which makes this a very effective method for attempting to convert before and after conquering a land. The highly vast majority of Jew, Christians and even Muslims have never ever read the Religious books of their Faiths … let alone fully understood the core precepts of those faiths. Understanding of their faith is very shallow as it rests solely on what they hear from the Pulpit and not the more permanent actual READING and Comprehending of their core Books of Faith.
The purveyors of Islam are smart enough to intertwine the faiths until the hooks are set … this is also the reason Islam and Socialism-Communism fit so well together. both do a great job selling social justice while at the same time require unquestioned faith in the “leadership”.
Insult them and dismiss them all you want but the people pushing Islam know exactly what they are doing and understand well the weakness of their audience.
Islam is the greatest threat to historical Western Civilization.
Adherents, but especially it’s leaders, cheer at the dissolution of Christian morals, mores and teachings found in the Bible.
They will be ready to subsume what remains of the West when moral entropy has its way.
They (Islam) have tried to invade, enslave, dominated and execute many in the West who stood in their way, by force.
As Erdogan stated about 10 years ago, they will subjugate the West through the wombs of their women.
Be Prepared.

I have read many stories of the “demineurs” who TO THIS DAY are cleaning up unexploded ordinance from WW1&2. At great risk to their lives. Stories of campfires built at exactly the wrong place in a forest …
Probably one of the most interesting places I have visited in France, related to this topic is WWI battlefield of Verdun. There are large tracts of land around this WWI battlefield that are still BLOCKED OFF and even the most experienced Explosive Ordnance Disposal experts will not tread.
Literally 100’s of shells per square meter fell in this area for 4 Years and the explosive payloads of those shells are active and have become highly volatile.

Deport the leftist enablers with the illegals.

Tuberculosis: Mass Migration Drives its Prevalence in the United States
October 22, 2024
https://www.fairus.org/issue/tuberculosis-mass-migration-drives-its-prevalence-united-states
All the more reason for ICE to do what they do…besides…when those illegals are arrested and incarcerated, part of the medical screening, is the hated TB test.
Side note….I have seen big macho, tatoo covered men with knife scars, brought to their emotional knees when told they must, and they must, take a TB test…
And how many of the nbc TB cases are because of contact with the illegal alien TB cases?
Probably all.
Stop the spread of invasive species! Isn’t it hypocritical to not want birds, plants, bugs, and snakes to move into areas they are not native too, but yet illegals from many countries cause much the same problems and the left is all for it.
One does not show symptoms of TB for some time . It’s way too early to say it was the migrants.
One of the components, though, is people living very closely together…like in nursing homes or prisons, living in poverty…or perhaps, ‘immigrant camps’….
In the hospital, we see it in spurts, where we have to isolate a patient….
So what is another plausible explanation for the rapid increase in Spain for TB?
Someone else. It’s always a mystery.
3rd world illegal immigration
Skin test shows it within a few days
X Ray chest shows it up immediately
I have had the skin test for TB, I had a dime size spot on my lung. I also had a test for Histoplasmosis which it turned out is what I had. The skin test that reaction was awful, it itched badly for over a week from my elbow to my wrist.
Most people end up on the hospital with Histoplasmosis needing blood transfusions. Mine was found about three years later when I had an asbestos chest x-ray. They said I was very lucky that my body encapsulated the Histoplasmosis i in calcium and I never need it treatment or had ill effects. I personally know two people that went legally blind from Histoplasmosis. I am sure I got it while working buoys in the USCG as bird dropping are a known cause and buoys are covered in seagull droppings.
That is a nasty duty cleaning all that seagull crap off the bouys plus other stuff like barnacles.
If, if one gets the skin test.
Most people don’t get the test unless it is suspected. If the test is positive then they get the chest xray to see if it’s active. The majority of people that test positive will have a negative chest xray.
Hospital and healthcare workers will get a tb test annually. The average person might not ever get one.
Actually, to be a legal migrant to the USA you must first prove you do not have TB. You are required to get all kinds of medical tests including for TB. I had to go through this process twice because they lost my file the first time! It used to be very difficult to be allowed in.
In the UK, all school children in the 60’s were required to get the skin test and then an innoculation (BCG). Not sure if the same happened in the US. But this is how TB was brought under control in the UK.
It’s much more than that. My wife immigrated here legally. The process took us almost three years and included a two day stay in a hospital getting many tests. All in all it costs us the better part of $10,000 during that time. She was supposed to have received her citizenship in 2020 but it was delayed almost two years due to Covid. We’re trying to bring her 16yo sister here now so she can get a good education, but the waiting list for that now is 20+ years! Sometimes immigration rules are maddening unless you are very rich and hire the correct law firm. Those folks don’t have to wait at all, but it costs them the better part of a million. My wife votes Republican with me every election too. We pray the system will be made right, but no longer believe it will.
I adopted two boys from the Ukraine in 2001. Because they received a live TB inoculation, they have to have a chest x-ray because they were vaccinated with a live TB virious. That’s been an expensive process school, sports, college, and military as they grew up.
I believe the average cost to raise a child in America has been determined to be $250K to $300K. That is from birth to 18 years, excluding college and unusual/special expenses.
If you add the extra resources, schools/teachers, medical/ Dr.s and nurses, etc then cost including the parent and society is much higher than $300K.
So bringing in illegals who are not self sufficient and do not contribute to our society is costing us hundreds of billions, probably trillions in costs and resources.
That doesn’t even factor in those that cause problems, will not assimilate or just out right criminals and disrupters.
We have become totally crazy as we allow the destruction of our country.
JMO
Jeff, I am not referring to you adopting the two boys from Ukraine. You did that legally and assumed the burden of their cost of rearing them. I admire you for doing this and helping the two boys.
My mother, a schoolteacher, tested positive for TB every time, but never had it. She had to go get an additional test each year. We never knew what triggered the false positive.
What planet did you fly in from? Of course the TB cases are coming from the ILLEGAL migrants and the sh!t holes they came from. DEPORT ALL OF THEM!!
Of course it was the migrants!
So statistics and common sense are now ‘Xenophobic’?
Yes. Those are “hate facts”.
“Unaccompanied minors”.
Such a polite name for “child sex trafficking”.
Yes, I recall when B Hussein Obola imported/ trafficked all those “unaccompanied” minors across our southern border. A couple hundred thousand minors went missing, never to be found again.

Leavitt Announces Next Move After Leaving White House
Excerpt:
Leavitt announced Friday evening that she will join MAGA Inc., the Trump-aligned super PAC expected to play a significant role in the upcoming midterm elections.
https://conservativebrief.com/karoline-white-103884/?
Leavitt is a cute as a button…..
A really intelligent, wholesome looking young woman. Trump is so fortunate to have her on his team!
No doubt she is a Zeta, WD…
Hmmm, I dated a few Zetas back in the day! 🤩
That’s great news, thank you!
We need her.

U.S. Postal Service Tightens Mail-In Voting Rules, Moves to Verify Voter Eligibility
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/08/u-s-postal-service-tightens-mail-voting-rules
Not sure this is the responsibility of the USPS and certainly not one they should undertake.
Also seems it would be ineffective considering the employees of the USPS. 🤔
So you are in favor of trucking in phoney ballots for Democrat cheating, ie. “Mail-in” ballots without the post office involved. Noted. How about we do everything we can to monitor mail-in ballots and deter cheating?
It is incumbent, on the Congress, the President, and the courts to secure our elections, Plus there is an over-abundance of existing law concerning elections that the DOJ can enforce, plus an over-abundance of State law that can be enforced…
Letting the USPS, which has forgotten that they exist for the sole purpose of delivering the mail, make rules regarding elections is is about as dumb as it gets…
Your slip has been going peek-a-boo for awhile now.
The USPS is involved in the cheat. That should be clear to everyone by now.
Just noticed the contrarian posts…
😉 The Slick operation has many players.
Good to see someone else finally noticing; was feeling like the Lone Ranger over here.
0.o
Don’t be concerned, Fuzzy… You are a confirmed member of the Not-So-Slick operation…
Eliminate their responsibility?
Then eliminate MAIL in voting.
So how do you propose that we monitor, curtail and eliminate the mail-in voting fraud so prevalent in today’s elections, especially in blue states and large blue cities?
Send out the ballots by mail to registered legal voters. Vote at home. On Election Day go to your polling place, verify your identity and submit the ballot. The chain of custody is not broken.
This would eliminate the long waits at polling places as it should take less than a minute or two to submit the ballot.
And the USPS can ensure that the ballots are going to legally registered voters.
How would the USPS determine that a voter is legally registered??
The postal service delivers mail via physical address, not by whomever the mail is addressed to…
In many cases, there are several residents at any one address, some are voters, some are children, some are illegal invaders, the postal service has no earthly idea of who is a “legally registered voter”…
BECAUSE THE STATES HAVE TO PROVIDE THE VOTER REGISTRATION FILES! Bar codes have to match to legal addresses, names have to match the voter roles… etc etc.
You are fighting a losing battle on this issue because you clearly have not read any of the details on what this new rule involves, or why the USPS is uniquely qualified for this process.
Have a nice day!
Bar codes on most letters match the address printed on the mailing label or the envelope ‘ cause they are applied by the machines the postal service uses to sort the mail…
There is no reason to “verify” them because they simply match the address on the piece of mail… The USPS does not “verify” individual citizenship or eligibility to vote…
I am not “fighting a battle” on the matter, am simply pointing out that the postal service can’t even deliver the mail to the proper address, let alone secure our elections…
Truth of the matter is: you simply don’t know what you are talking about… But, thank you for your wish that I have a “nice day”…
I ALWAYS have a “Nice Day”, simply because at my age, every day I awaken on the green side of the grass is a Blessing from The Lord God Almighty!
Amen to that. I always look forward to the next birthday! God is good.
Birthday is in March, WD… I suspect I will still be here ’cause when I was young, my Mom always said: “only the good die young, Joy”…
I have to apologize… I thought I was replying to John Chisum…
No apology necessary, Observer…
My ol’ Rancher Daddy always said: “Show me a guy that don’t make any mistakes and I’ll show you a guy that don’t do nothing”…
Actually, it is a very good use of USPS. One of their duties is to detect fraud going through the mail system…. which is exactly what they would be doing with ballots. It is a PERFECT use of their expertise.
The USPS needs to be out of the loop on elections. No reason for so many unqualified people to have access to ballots. ELIMINATE MAIL IN BALLOTING. Easy solution and would bring mail in back where they should be. Not legal.
Since the Senate won’t help out on eliminating the mail in issue, then if USPS is going to be handling the ballots, have a special USPS address in each voting district to send them to which means only credentialed officials in special offices within the USPS can handle them when they go out and come back with trackers on them.
ID proving address and citizenship must accompany the ballots back. The special special officials then hand deliver the ballots to the main counting center in their voting districts BY ELECTION DAY and no later. If they’re not in on time on Election Day they are null and void.
It certainly would be very expensive to set up and manage monitoring mail in ballots in any similar fashion, but our votes are worth keeping safe and free from as much fraud as can be done short of eliminating the mail in ballots.
The process would be automated. Voter roles and bar codes all have to match. This would also prevent human intervention by postal workers as in the past.
It is an excellent use of technology AND stuff that the USPS already does.
Do you really believe the USPS checks the voter rolls to verify that letters are going to qualified voters??
That is the proposed rule.
If that is the proposed rule, the Postal Service will be checking the raw ballots sent by the election supervisors to voters?
The ballots being sent out are not the problem…
The problem is the ballots being returned by mail to the election supervisor…
So, my question is: how is the Postal Service gonna determine whether or not the ballots being mailed to the election supervisor are valid ballots or just a bunch of ballots printed up and mailed in by the politicians trying to steal the election?
For example, In the election of 2024 many states received thousands more return ballots than had been mailed out…
Yep… Have researched the Constitution, Title 8, various other laws in existence, can find nothing giving the USPS authority to make rules concerning our “elections”…
The stated reason for the existence of the U.S. Post Office Department, now known as “USPS”, is: “to deliver the mail forthwith and with dispatch”…
Hell, they can’t even do that now, let alone fiddle around in our elections…
It is not a rule concerning elections, per se… it is a rule regarding USING the postal service for mass mailings.
They also have a role in preventing fraud (which is why we have Postal Inspectors) – they play a big role in fraud investigations, and have done since the days of the horseback riders delivering mail, hold ups of trains delivering mail…. etc etc.
This is a really good idea, imo.
“It is not a rule concerning elections”...
Of course it is a rule concerning elections…
Why would the Postal Service need the voter rolls if it weren’t for the elections?
When I mail a check to pay my credit card bill, is the Postal Service gonna check to see if I am a registered voter? Of course they won’t… They will only check ballots to see if they came from registered voters…
The ballots in question wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for the election!
Methinks you flunked your High-School “Logics” course…
“per se” You missed that part… they are using the systems they already have to prevent fraud with mail in ballots. The voter rolls will be matched to bar coded envelopes that will ensure only valid ballots are in the mail. And there will be logs of same.
I don’t understand why some are missing the point.
I give up.
Anyway, it is going to be a reality since the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Administration.
You may as well “give up” ’cause you are trying to convince folks that the postal service can secure our elections…
Yet, the postal service can’t even deliver properly addressed letters to our mailboxes, and instead, scatters the mail around the entire neighborhood…
Nope… no matter what the “supreme court” says, it will not be a reality, due to the fact that it is only a little over 2 months until the mid-term “elections”… Even if the proposed system was workable, which it isn’t, there is not enough time to implement it…
USPS publishes rule to block mail-in ballots from states that don’t provide voter lists
(The rule aligns with Trump’s executive order but cannot take effect under an existing federal court injunction)
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/usps-publishes-rule-block-mail-in-ballots-states-dont-provide-voter-lists.amp
Really! I live in Kommie Kalifornia and worked the polls for the prevous five elections. –The inperson voters were far more conservative (Republican) than the Vote by Mail voters. If this is allowed, Hilton might just win.
At this point in time, the DOJ has filed lawsuits against 30 states plus Washington, D.C., for refusing to provide full, unredacted voter registration lists.
Don’t care what they say…I don’t trust USPS…they helped facilitate the steal…
As Rush would say…watch what they do…not what they say…
USPS is essentially the teachers union but slightly lazier.
White males need not apply to USPS.
The USPS isn’t qualified to monitor mail in ballots.
Anyone suggesting otherwise is disingenuous.
Hell, they can’t even delivery the regular mail properly nor in a timely fashion.
The Pony Express was more reliable.
0.o
With all due respect, they are uniquely qualified because the system would use bar codes, voter roles and be automated. Just imagine, you need to investigate 2020 election – the USPS would be able to provide logs of all mailed ballots that were sent, to where and how many were returned. We would have instantly known that millions of FAKE ballots were generated during that election.
The proposed system would eliminate that mass mailing of those fake/illegal ballots before it happened.
Think about it some more, do a little research into how the USPS will implement and I think you might like the idea.
Theoretically, it would work.
The ‘system’ is corruptible just like the voting machines/tabulators are corruptible or hackable.
If the USPS brass and staff were all fired and replaced by qualified, honest people the ‘system’ would work.
Until then, you just have the fox guarding the henhouse.
The USPS as it stands has zero credibility.

Regarding Canada, I69 is filled with many trucks from Port Huron Michigan to where it connects with I65 in Indianapolis. Though there are trucks from US logistical companies, the vast majority of long haul trucks are Canadian. This is by design, it should be easy to address this in light of the current trade agreements and positions by the Carney administration
Recent revelations concerning Canada’s relationship with the US makes me think they have moved from ally to adversary. Maybe the President should consider shutting down that border. Require Canadians to obtain visas, regardless of the reason for coming into the country. If they want to ally with the Chinese, so be it.
There seems to be quite a bit of Canadian gang activity in the United States, including drug and other types of trafficking.
Punjabi gangsters, if you’ve ever heard of such a thing.
Washington County, Oregon has problems with Canadian gangs and that county is about 250ish miles from the border.
The county has a higher than average crime rate and was in the news this past weekend when firefighters were called to a burning vehicle and discovered 5 homicided bodies and the bodies of several domesticated animals.
The ‘suspect’ ‘responsible’ was quickly found, deceased in a vehicle, cause of death-suicide.

Hillary has plans for Bill…funeral plans
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2026/08/hillary-has-plans-for-bill-funeral-plans/
Hillary never could understand that Bill’s charm was real because he genuinely likes people. Hillary, meanwhile, invariably displays dislike and disdain for people. Who can forget her Deplorables comment? She’s like an angry Doberman in a pink tutu. You can dress that dog up as much as you like, but you know it’s mean.
Who’s to say Bill isn’t planning Hillary’s funeral?
I think they are both in bad shape, but Hillary isn’t as bad as Bill. Bill also isn’t AS evil as Hillary, which is NOT to say Bill isn’t evil.
Bill has worn out a dozen funeral suits, waiting on Hillary’s funeral.
That caricature of Hill is not accurate. Maybe 40 years ago.
Bill just wanted to get his cigars humidified…
It was hillary who was CEO of “Arkancide”…

Well before covid censorship, Dr Maryanne Demasi fought against statins….and was censored, sacked, and banned.
Nearly 15 years ago, my doctor told me I needed statins or I’d be dead in 10. I’d seen Maryanne Demasi’s ‘Heart of the Matter’ documentary, and so refused my doctor’s demand.
She is a living legend who continues to fight the evil within the medical profession.
https://blog.maryannedemasi.com/p/the-evolution-of-the-bribe
Same thing here. We found an integrative medicine doctor about 15 years ago after our doctor prescribed statins , then the statins caused high blood sugar. The doctor we found did a cholesterol particle size test. This is very important because the standard blood test only looks at total levels, yet it is only large particles that clog arteries in the heart.
We did not have large cholesterol particles so the statin was not needed. Once off the statins, blood sugar returned to normal.
Next she looked into hormone levels. Cholesterol is the raw material used to make all the hormones in our body’s systems. Bio-identical hormones balanced that out, and cholesterol numbers returned to normal.
She soon retired. In the years since, many integrative doctors were purged using the heavy fists of Obamacare. Some were even met untimely deaths.

Japanese automakers are considering alliances to strengthen their presence for the future. Mitsubishi wishes to join the Nissan-Honda alliance to share EV technology.

Agenda 2030/2050’s over-arching goals for population control are to get us out of cars and into mass transit – and to get us out our own homes and into high density housing.
EVs and self driving cars are the transition mechanism these goals. EVs have limited range, use centrally controlled refueling systems, and are designed with in-vehicle software architectures controlled by data centers.
Tesla is the globalists’ massive EV monopoly to drive the Agenda in the West. Tesla has shared its IP and manufacturing with China.
Looks like Blackrock is forcing another EV monopoly in Japan.
I don’t know. Japan is very densely populated. Mass transit is necessary. Shinjuku station handle around 1.1 BILLION passengers a year.
Density doesn’t work when you have a society that is not considerate of others
True – my observation was for Japan’s global auto market (especially US) – not their domestic market.
Ah, okay. Japan has been proactive in locating assembly plants in the US.
Back to EVs, yes the US is not a good place to use them except in limited services. First we need the power generation.
Elsewhere EVs are growing.
It also depends on the geographic area. For example, Chicago has a barrier called lake Michigan, so everything goes out from downtown using half a wagon wheel making mass transit somewhat efficient.
In other areas like Minneapolis St Paul, that are both central hubs of a sort, mass transit is very inefficient because infrastructure requires two separate wagon wheels. Connecting the hubs makes sense but running the lines out just costs too much because there are too many locations to service.

This is what lack of citizen weapons looks like.
A disarmed citizen is a slave.
I went on an interesting AI journey researching that quote. It seemed odd to me that he would say that immediately after taking power.
Ai says Hitler never said that, but there was something he said about taking guns from conquered people in the ’40s.
So I asked what he said about gun control in mein kampf. Nothing.
But I remembered some show saying he took guns from jews. When asked AI said that was a 1938 law. That law actually relaxed rules for other Germans to have guns, but confiscated guns from jews. But he also took guns from communists, social democrats, and trade unionists.
So I asked when Hitler did that. 1933. It went on to say that existing laws and emergencies were used to justify that and they banned anyone classified as ‘enemy of the states from having guns.
So Hitler was taking guns from Germans in 1933, if he deemed them enemies. When he was in the process of conquering Germany. But did he say it? Probably not publicly. After conquering Germany and doing away with those enemies, he disarmed Jews while encouraging guns amongst non-enemy, non-jew Germans. And as he conquered other people he disarmed them, especially jews.
As I say, an interesting journey. AI and many leftists vehemently deny Hitler said that, ever, but you have to pull teeth to get them to admit he was actively disarming his enemies at that very time the quote attributes it to him.
Bingo.
True scale of Meghan and Harry’s US political plans revealed — from request for Biden Oval Office meeting to eyeing Senate seat
Delusional Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sought US political clout far beyond the dreams of any British royal since King George III, The Post has learned, with the Duchess of Sussex angling to take over the Senate seat held by Kamala Harris ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
Weeks before Democrat Joe Biden’s win over President Donald Trump, a source says, Markle requested a sit-down with California Gov. Gavin Newsom because she “wanted to be considered to be appointed” to the seat held by Harris, which she vacated just before becoming vice president on Jan. 20, 2021.
The source added that the discussion was publicly described as a welcome-to-California chat to head off potential inquiries.

Sorry, I didn’t see yours and I posted same video below.
There is absolutely no proof 1) that They were “arguing” and 2) that they were discussing the Canaduh trade deal.
Canaduh has the worst case of TDS ever!
If I were Canadian and only had State News shows, podcasters and articles, gaslighting me about the so called Dictatorship of President Trump, I would probably have a serious case of TDS also.
Elbowers Up don’t listen to the Moose.
Any chance a fellow Treeper has the true skinny on the data center debate?
We have thousands of them already. More than any all other or all other countries combined. Are any lives going to be better with Facebook, Google, Palantir or Flock or the government having even more data on citizens?
Over 4,000. With rich counties getting more than poor counties.
But, technology marches on. We want more and we want better. And who is ‘we’ Kemosabe?
And the arguments against seem like the next trick to turn the world luddite. Like green, and global warming, and …
But the arguments for seem like utopian lies. ‘Build them and magic will happen, we will win superiority, and get filthy rich.’
not so sure it is the “true skinny” but I do have some observations.
> locations and funding for data centers were established over a decade ago. If an organized data center protest “stops” a data center it’s a win to appease the greenies – it was never intended to be built.
> there is no business case for centralized data centers. They are being funded by the globalists to enable mass surveillance and centralized control of all information.
> they are proceeding because there seems to be a necessary alliance between BigTech and Trump – for now
“there is no business case for centralized data centers.” is false. Type in that phrase and
Brave AI will explain why.
The data center debate is the one and only thing that conservatives and the libs agree on..nobody wants them.
Just explain that without data centers Netflix will stream at 480p , streams may slow down or fail unexpectedly.
No one will stand for that minor inconvience.
Stop using cell scans, stop giving out your data for every app, stop using computers, the internet, social media, and anything cloud based, and they’ll stop building data centers.
Good to see Susan Collins jumping into to affirm what a piece of crap she is on the trade issues with Canada………
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, highlighted the impact to her state of what she called the “on-again/off-again trade talks between the U.S. and Canada” in a post on X, writing that “Maine imports approximately $2 billion in non-petroleum products from Canada each year.”
“The Administration must consider the negative impact tariffs would have on Maine businesses, communities, and families and work to reach a fair agreement with our Canadian neighbors,” she wrote, urging both sides to return to negotiations.
Here are Maine’s top 10 imports:
Top 10 Import Goods
HS Code Import USD$
(27) Oil & Mineral Fuels $5,274,411,712
(44) Wood $736,852,420
(84) Industrial Machinery $685,790,184
(47) Wood Pulp $547,460,584
(98) Nesoi $531,621,120
(64) Footwear $313,382,834
(39) Plastics $282,358,390
(62) Apparel: Non Knit $252,811,478
(61) Apparel: Knit $235,904,050
(48) Paper $226,264,534
She says “non-petroleum” so looking at the list, number 2, 4 and number 10 involve trees. I though Maine had a lot of trees of their own? Surely they have people who are unemployed but would love a job out in the woods. Most of the rest of the list reads as Chineseum to me.
Why would heavily-wooded Maine need to import wood, wood pulp and even paper? Greenies gone wild up there to ban such processing?
And despite tariffs, chineseum will come in via Canada.
FOIA the notes / readout of her / her staff meeting with Canadian officials who have been on tour in the USA.
They might have given her the exact X post she released under her office twitter account.
In our trade war with Canada it’s interesting that Canada never mentions that they have relied on America for protection and have spent little on defense like the Euroweenies for decades! So Canada gets the benefit of our military strength without paying a penny for it! I hope President Trump doesn’t cave to Canada in any meaningful way!!! America First demands the tariffs put in place remain in place!!! JMO
I wish Sundance would post/explain what will happen to Canada as a result of these tariffs! Is there any possible blowback to America?
Maybe Canada will start building “domestic industry” again. What a concept …
Too many articles on Canada ….have so many issues here to report on and they are being ignored. I do not understand this have been visiting here for a long time and CTH has been slowly withering away. What a shame, but if pursuits of other platforms is more lucrative then I get it just think its a shame.
What “issues” do you think need more recognition?
The daily blog title is “Presidential Politics – Trump Administration. Which would include the substantial emphasis on Trump’s trade and economic policy. SD is my go-to expert for analysis on this subject!
There you go again, griping about Canada articles/discussions AGAIN.
Just like you did yesterday and last week.
You constantly bash President Trump and now you’ve taken it upon yourself to bash Sundance and the website members for covering the serious problems with Canada that are stuck all over the United States like white on rice.
What’s really a shame is that you have nothing better to do.
Why are you even here?
You never even bother to contribute anything but gripes.

On X, Sundance is explaining that Canada has distorted their economy to be Green. He even predicts that they will end up drawing back to the table.

Thought I would just post this here. Saudis, Turkey , and Pakistan invite Iran to join MECA Defense Pact. Not sure of the validity of this story.
I maybe wrong, but aren’t these the people that kept pleading with President Trump to extend the negations. I am not sure what this means to U.S. plans.
The article states that none of these parties have confirmed this information.
Hopefully, it is fake news and, if so, who is pushing this? If it is true, heaven help us.
That seems like good news (for now) as it implies that the Turks and Saudi’s have someone in Iran they believe they can negotiate with – other than the mad mullahs that they all want to be rid of.
I dont have the link handy, but someone representing Iran claimed that Iran was not “invited” but wants to be…
I file it all under “pysops”, along with the banana peels.

“Trump Admin Declares War on Powerful Mexican Cartel”
https://borderhawk.news/trump-admin-declares-war-on-powerful-mexican-cartel/
This is good news. The cartels want to do all the illegal importing of illegals (criminals)
I asked someone why they don’t stay there and fix it…. She said they live in the desert and its miles to town, no car. Ok, but they keep having babies.
Only thing to pay a cartel doesn’t it cost thousands? Where do they get that money?
What a mess.
Haha. Who better to turn in and collect the multi million bounties than the other cartel members listed on the bounty list?
Who will go first?
Send down a couple ol’ retired Marines and MaDuece… they will take care of the cartels and let mexico keep Kalifornika…
Good, basic video about the introduction of the Jeep in WWII. Lessons to be learned from the jeep.
USA needs to get back to basics. Back to turning simplicity into power. “The best machine isn’t the perfect one. In modern warfare, it’s the one that that can be built by the millions, repaired by the untrained, and can be relied upon under file. (referrencing the jeep in the north african dessert in WWII). It was the mbodiment of the american spirit. Adaptable. Resourceful. Unstoppable….It proved that true power isn’t found in flawless design, but in a system that never stops running. And, maybe that’s the greatest lesson of all.”
I think of my 2002 Honda Accord this way, when my reliable small fishing town summer home mechanic said: “Your car is easy. It’s basic. Anyone can repair it.”
Our government should get back to basics, too, with major cuts in expenditures. MAJOR CUTS. The debt is too high. Problems looming with that.
Anyone can repair your 2002 Honda…until the ECM takes a dump.
This video is not advisable for those of you with high BP, brain aneurysms..
It is always “Trump’s fault.”
Canadians take no accountability for their whorish ways.
I say keep your asses over there in Canaduh.
POTUS a little bit ago:
Canada has been ripping off the United States of America for years. Their ridiculously high tariffs on our Farmers and farm products has made life impossible for these great American Patriots, and has long created a 60 Billion Dollar Deficit between our two Countries. Not sustainable, and NOT ANYMORE! On January First, 2027, Tariffs on all Cars, Trucks, both large and small, Automotive Parts, and Steel, will be increased to 50%. Build in the U.S. and there are ZERO TARIFFS. Canada will be treated like a State no longer! On Trade, and in other ways, also, they are among the worst Nations in the World to deal with. They feel entitled, and yet, WE DON’T NEED CANADA, THEY NEED US! They do 95% of their business with the U.S., with us, the exact opposite! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP
And, he is right.
So, where is this: “Make CANADA Great Again!”
I can’t believe that ordinary Canadians are happy with their government’s insane posture and policies. That’s no way to run a country.
What are you PRODUCING, all by yourself? That is the very best such thing in the world?? What product is Canada PROUD of???
Of course Canadians are in favor of their government’s policies because they benefit from them. What’s not to understand?
What benefit? Pride?
Yeah. “Que bono?” Your government is insisting that it can’t do anything. For “save the planet,” you know.
They “have to” import from a country that builds a new dirty coal plant every month …
A higher standard of living subsidized by USA. Why do you think they are resisting fair trade? Because they will have to give up their socialist dreams. If fair trade benefitted them, they would jump at the chance.
Thats in the past – the Canadian Marshall Plan is over … regardless of the level of their pretending, crying, and lying … Perhaps they can learn to spell Reciprocity.
Did Marshall plan to infantilize our neighbors? If so, it sure worked.
We ordinary Canadians don’t..we have no say.
same as Americans had no say until President Trumps famous escalator ride.
cheers!
correct
the u.s. is one election away from being canada

(Bloomberg) — US President Donald Trump pledged to double the auto tariff on Canadian vehicles and parts starting next year, escalating the spiraling trade fight between the two economies.
Trump posted on Monday that “Tariffs on all Cars, Trucks, both large and small, Automotive Parts, and Steel” would rise to 50%, effective Jan. 1. The current auto rate is 25% but is applied only to non-US content. Imported steel already faces a 50% charge.

Next year? How is that even perceived as a legitimate threat? And thats after the midterms. Dont get it.
Um, because it projects a tone of confidence that crushes the Canadian narrative that the Mid-terms will somehow save them from the consequences of decades of juvenile governmental expectations and its concomitant economic illiteracy.
The USMCA is about to become extinct.

Seems that having all those IRGC in your country means you osmotically start behaving like them.
Good, two examples of FAFO for the world to see and ponder. Ukraine’s probably next, and Europe’s beginning to self-correct, finally.
So they’ll bottle that electricity and sell it to Europe or China?
By golly they’ll idle their plants and send the workers home until we capitulate!
Ford probably does believe he can bottle electricity
Very interesting. Jeffries meeting with Kushner.
Wonder what that was all about?
It’s good to maintain dialog with your enemies.
Please tell me how this is proper procedure.
from the “New York Times” this morning – I just do not see the propriety of Jared Kushner meeting with Hakeem Jeffries when he is also supposedly working on Peace in the Middle East – and ya know, we still have this Iran thing going on – plus he and Ivanka are involved in their Albanian venture which I do not think is a good look for America to have someone supposedly representing us in negotiations regarding Iran ALSO involved in this Albanian venture. I did not vote for Jared Kushner to be making any kind of deals with Hakeem Jeffries and then I suppose we are going to be told how brilliant Jared is that he did this. Phooey.
Good morning.
August 24, 2026
Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic minority leader, met privately in recent weeks with Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, to discuss potential areas of common ground, according to five people with knowledge of the meeting.
At some point in time,
the new board of peace may
want a new leader.
The person would need to have a proven track record – towards peace.
( and that involves understanding both foes and friends and having achieved peace ( not throwing money around, until it runs out… ) )
There are a lot of pretender$.
But, whom are genuinely good candidates? (hint, the team role is not $elected, it is earned )
https://aim4truth.org/
Possibly because they share the same enemy, the DSA.
Heaven forbid that we look fir common ground with our enemies, foreign or domestic. /s
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with US senators from both parties
– Richard Blumenthal and James Lankford – in Kyiv on 23 August.
Two of the uniparty’s finest 😔
I appreciate the analysis of current issues from this site. One thing that currently befuddles me. US policy on Syria and Turkey. Why are we doing what we are doing? What is the endgame? Why are we giving Edogan such a red carpet? Same with Ahmend Al-Sharaa of Syria. Not exactly the most savory characters, especially if protecting Western civilization is on one’s radar. Can anyone shed some light here?
Heads of state get the red carpet, that is diplomacy, you don’t insult a nation by insulting their head of state. You also start talks on a positive note.
There are clues. Remember Trump having a bigger red carpet than Putin and Putin had to walk to Trump. Who and where they are met can be a clue on feelings. So can the pomp around the meeting, like bands and other dignataies there for the meeting. Turkey is a delicate one while a member of NATO they border Russia and right now have a relatively good relationship. We just got influence in Syria over Russia we don’t want Syria back to Russia.
Looking forward, Syria will be shed of the extremist Muslim Brotherhood influence.
Turkey is allied with Russia and the US providing stability in the Black Sea now, which is going a long way toward helping wind down the SMO in the Ukraine.
Basically, the goal is stability in the Middle East and threat-free trade routes throughout the Black Sea region.

The current Syrian leader has actually been working with Trump/US on several issues. It is a pretty amazing turn around. We want them aligned with us…not Iran.
+++
From a Nov 2025 article:
Excerpt:
In an interview with Special Report on Fox News, al-Sharaa said the visit was part of a “new era” in which the country would co-operate with the US.
Trump has expressed his support for al-Sharaa, who until recently was designated a terrorist by the US government.
Syria will now be the 90th country to join the global coalition, which is aimed at eliminating remaining elements of the so-called Islamic State and stemming the flow of foreign militants to the Middle East.
