There is something to be said for just looking at things as they are, not as we would pretend them to be.
This is the literal visual, the construct in Washington DC to highlight the Biden worldview of “democracy,” specifically constructed for the State of the Union speech.
No need for a thousand words. The images of “the people’s house” speak volumes.
You just can’t make this stuff up.
I visited Warsaw twice last month and can provide some ‘boots on the ground’ background context for what is taking place as the Polish farmers begin protesting against the regime of Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
The first thing to understand is that Warsaw is to Poland almost exactly as Washington DC is to the United States – which is to say, a capitol subculture of leftists and WEF minded globalists totally disconnected from the social mindset of the rest of the country. The Warsaw of the 80’s and 90’s Solidarity Movement no longer exists, which explains the installation of Tusk in opposition to the generally lulled to complacency Polish people. Sound familiar?
“European agriculture policies and Ukrainian cheap grain, burning tires outside of Prime Minister Tusk’s office, as up to 100 THOUSAND more protestors expected to flood streets of Warsaw.”
The protests are not about Ukraine farm products (Western narrative); they are protesting the Build Back Better (Green New Deal) climate change nonsense regulations that will put them out of business and hurt the Polish people.
The German farmers and middle class workers organized their logistics brilliantly. The farmers approached Berlin from every angle, using all the arterial roads as points of entrance to surround the city. The German farmers came into each artery in two columns: column A at the front and column B in the back.
Column A drove into the city; column B remained outside the city blocking the streets. It was a smart way logistically to protest, and German officials could not respond because they were blocked. German truckers and transportation workers assisted the protest with non-compliance highlighting their support. The German government acquiesced to the farmers.
The French farmer protests learned from the Germans, and they too were successful in their logistical protest against the French government. The French government acquiesced to the French farmer’s demands.
However, the Polish government saw the effective strategy as it began spreading around the EU. Tusk brought into Warsaw an advanced police group. As the Polish farmers moved into the center of Warsaw, they encountered a heavily fortified Polish security force. Tempers flared and physical confrontation was the outcome.
The following NBC article is a little humorous, from the perspective that MSM writes an article about something that is transparently obvious to those who have followed the nature of the 2024 GOP primary.
Essentially, the gist is that Team Biden is confident they will win the vast majority of Nikki Haley supporters in the 2024 general election. NBC posits that President Trump is not trying to make progress winning those voters, because he’s divisive or something. However, the core underpinning of the promoted narrative is creating the illusion of something that doesn’t actually exist.
As highlighted by actual results, exit polling and various reviews of the people who voted for Nikki Haley, her bid for the GOP nomination was supported by Democrats, not Republicans. Democrats in New Hampshire, Washington DC, Virginia and Vermont supported Haley.
It is not coincidental that strategic efforts were made to court Democrats to support her. Also, the places where she did well were states and municipalities with open primaries, same day registration/voting, and easy election day party switching. These processes made it simple for Democrats to vote in the Republican primary.
Bottom line, the overwhelming majority of votes for Haley came from Democrats, who were/are going to vote for Biden anyway. So, it’s an exercise in being obtuse not to accept the reality of who exactly represented the Haley voting base. Then again, professional and intentional ignorance and strategic pretending is a trait of those skilled in gaslighting.
As a consequence of the dynamic, President Trump making any effort to court the Haley vote is an exercise in futility. Trump is right to just move on, snark at the nonsense that Haley represented, and avoid spending energy on an attempt that will generate nothing substantive in value. However, for Team Biden saying they will win Haley voters is just an exercise in political narrative engineering the media love to promote.
NBC is clutching their pearls as Texas AG Ken Paxton celebrates dozens of victories for his endorsed state candidates who primaried Bush-supported Republicans. Additionally, his endorsements and support for the challengers in Texas has led to an additional ten runoff elections, including the potential removal of Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan who led impeachment proceedings against him.
The media uses terms like “revenge” and “anger,” however, most of the MAGA coalition smile and think of Paxton as the leading candidate to be nominated by President Trump for U.S Attorney General next year. Yeah, this article is buckets of awesome.
TEXAS – Out of the 70 candidates on the ballot yesterday that Texas GOP Attorney General Ken Paxton endorsed, 33 won their primaries outright, while 10 have advanced to a runoff.
Paxton helped defeat seven Republican state House members who voted to impeach him last year on corruption charges. He also boosted nine other GOP candidates for state House seats.
His endorsed candidates unseated three Republican judges on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, who had angered Paxton by keeping his office from prosecuting voter fraud, and a handful of other incumbents.
“Texans have spoken loud and clear,” Paxton wrote on X, the platform once known as Twitter. “The victory of Judges David Schenck, Gina Parker, and Lee Finley, endorsed by my office, marks a significant moment in our state’s legal history. It sends a powerful message that Texans demand judges who prioritize the Constitution and uphold the rule of law.”
Those who understand the long history of Mitch McConnell as a Machiavellian-minded Senate Leader well understand how this is playing out.
John Thune’s prior endorsement of Donald Trump sets the stage. Nikki Haley withdrawing from opposition to Donald Trump, on behalf of the financial and professional political class who underwrote her effort, was a transparent predicate.
Now comes the Machiavellian leverage move by Senate Leader Mitch McConnell, who falsely positions his support without conditions as a lull toward a duplicitous intent.
In the background, the DeceptiCon move will be to support something akin to California Democrat Senate candidate Adam Schiff as an installment move within the upper chamber.
Schumer/McConnell planning for Thune’s installation with an agreement to acquiesce appointment of Schiff to replace SSCI Chair Mark Warner as a background move to impede the threat that a successful Trump reelection represents.
That’s the type of senatorial ploy we should expect.
If MAGA has not learned these lessons by now, then nothing has been learned about the nature of opposition. That is simply the way of the UniParty Senate.
(Via ABC News) – Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell, a longtime critic of Donald Trump and a frequent target, on Wednesday endorsed him in the 2024 presidential race.
“It is abundantly clear that former President Trump has earned the requisite support of Republican voters to be our nominee for President of the United States,” McConnell said in a statement Wednesday, just after Nikki Haley suspended her campaign.
There’s a certain type of psychology to people who insist on telling you what they are not going to do. Ordinary, well, stable people, just don’t do things, and they are quiet while they don’t do things.
Then, there are other people….

Tonight, the primary election polls close in 15 states where 854 Republican delegates are at stake. This Super Tuesday vote accounts for more than a third of all delegates available in the race for the nomination.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is likely to crush Nikki Haley who will likely have her best showing in the state of Virginia, which is closest to the DC core of her support network.
I’m not exactly sure how this rumor was started, but this announcement by Big Mike’s team should not be a surprise.
NEW: Spokesperson for Michelle Obama confirms she will not run for President:
It’s all going to play out the way it is going to play out, and my dearest friends… this is going to be the biggest, ugliest, most consequential and potentially transformative inflection point in modern USA politics.
Trust your instincts; I mean really trust them. Trust that sense of foreboding you feel, and steel your nerves for some of the most dangerous times ahead.
She knows what is coming. Senator Sinema may not know the details and/or the specifics, but she knows the scale of conflict that is going to happen, and she’s not internally prepared to participate in it. It’s not about the current polarization from a left -vs- right conflict; the traditional issues are not akin to debate.
This is full combat bloodletting that is coming into focus, and it is going to be exceptionally ugly. The stakes are extreme, and we will walk through them in advance. The U.S intelligence apparatus is going to participate on behalf of the worst elements in government. As if they have not completely dropped pretense already, and on behalf of the administrative state that provides their authority, the powerful institutions of our nation are going to forcefully align in combat against We The People.
Arizona will be one of the “all or nothing” states this year – filled with extreme anger. Not accidentally clad in purple hues, Senator Sinema is tapping out in advance.
WASHINGTON – Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) announced that she will not seek reelection this year, avoiding an unpredictable three-way race in the swing state that had many national Democrats worried about holding onto the seat.
“I believe in my approach, but it’s not what America wants right now,” Sinema said in a video announcing her plans that painted a bleak picture of a dysfunctional political system she no longer sees a place in. (read more)
