It's funny how being Red-Pilled follows a different timeline for different people, but for everybody with a brain it is inevitable. My oldest brother used to say that "If a man's not a liberal at twenty, he has no heart. If that same man's not a conservative at forty, he has no brain."
As a genu-wine dope-smoking Motorcycle Hippie starting college in 1971, I took great delight in Richard Nixon's troubles, even buying at a Morgantown head shop a shifty-eyed Nixon candle, which I still have. I was certain I would never vote for a ReBiblican, as I called them then.
Fast-forward one click to Jimma Catahhhhh. I was a dyed-in-the-wool lib, but I could read. And I was horrified by what I read: the Nation was clearly sliding down the poop-chute, and even I could see that it was because of policy, not some moral failure by the citizens, or even "malaise," as Jimma put it. I remember thinking to myself, I can't believe how much bloody damage one man can do. Then the next summer I worked in a Coal River deep mine to make money for the fall term, was once again horrified - this time by the taxes that came out of my check - and my view of the world suddenly changed. There's nothing like being red-pilled - although it was not called that then - at eighteen.
Fast forward many clicks to 2016. Now retired, I once again was horrified by the damage done by one man - this time Hussein Obama - who set back race-relations at least a generation - and that was not even close to his most damaging policy.
Fast forward once more - this time to 2020 and Alleged President Joe Stolen. The damage done by this senile goober is beyond comprehension, although I do give him some slack; none of these evil decisions are his.
Now in 2024 I see that poop-chute very clearly once more. Make no mistake: everything - EVERYTHING - is on the line this November. Vote wisely.
You and I are the same age. I was into the partying aspect of hippiedom but not the politics. My first vote was for Nixon in 1972.
As far as Jimmah goes, we are still suffering the consequences of his idiocy and I lay 9/11 directly at his feet. Imagine what the world might be like today if he had supported the Shah. Our great great grandchildren will still be suffering the evils of Hussein and Pedo Joe.
When my daughter was 16 she got a part time job as a shampoo girl in a salon. When she got her first paycheck and saw what the government had stolen from her, she was outraged. Our response was to tell her, “Never ever vote for a democrat.” She’s now in her 30’s and is probably more conservative than we are. As are her friends. There is hope for the future.
At 18 I mentioned to a coworker (busboy in Baltimore restaurant) I was going to register to vote. He ask D or R and I said D because my parents were.
He asked, why? And then proceeded to ask about guns, education, welfare, etc. On every issue I was conservative.
At dinner next night I told family (youngest of 4 siblings) I registered to vote ... as a republican. The look on my mother's face said it all.
My father was proud. He was as conservative as anyone but stayed democrat to affect the primary vote since an R wasn't going to win in MD anyway. I on the other hand moved to DE and Finally FL. Fuck liberals
As a non American please tell me sir more about this "registering for a party" Is it compulsory and does it mean your vote is automatically given to that party at every election? I'm curious to know.
I was a Reagan Democrat for years and my eyes opened widely when Dubya went to war in Iraq in 2003, passed the Patriot Act a year later that is now weaponized against us(we knew this would happen), and then grew government power far more than FDR with the DHS, TSA, et al. Worst president in my lifetime and I voted for the dip$hit twice; his grandfather did bidness with Hitler's Germany like many other of our 'elites' in the 30s.
Trump is the real deal and so is Kari Lake - and you will see that McConnell was behind the bribe to get rid of her.
There's another one: a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged; a liberal is a conservative who's been arrested. I've been the second, but not first - yet. ..... although it would might end poorly for the mugger.
I love accounts of how people get liberated from liberalism! Thank you for sharing yours, Jim. I went through the journey too, and about the same age range, in my 20's. And there's been a continual ongoing further waking up since then. Like you say, Jim, "a different timeline for different people". Millions and millions of our fellow Americans are going through it right now. We need to keep reaching out to them, even if we've been rebuffed in the past. Stay kind, keep the doors of communication open, respect them.
Funny... I have 8 brothers and sisters. All of us in our early years on the lib train. Now only 2. Both a lost cause. Oddly the 2 eldest. They were in college during the Vietnam days... maybe that's it.
Sounds like you're, like many of us a recovering liberal who in our youth wore that proverbial prim rose glasses to see the world. I'm recovered too and think a whole lot clearer. I pray!
THE ELECTION PROCESS T EVERY VOTING LOCATION IS THEAT EVERY VOTING LOCATION IS THE ISSUE THAT MUST BE PRE-PLANNED. THAT IS A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING AND WILL REQUIRE MILITARY OR OTHER PRESENCE FOR SAFETY OF ALL.
I apologize for the typos... blurry vision. What can WE do at voting locations to insure our safety, and still be able to spot, and avoid problems that might arise? Who would be in charge of pre-arranged securiy at voting locations?
My concern is not whether Trump will win but will they allow the peaceful transition. They are pulling put all the stops to prevent the people's choice.
A PEACEFUL TRANSITION can be attained by A DELAY OF THE NOISE AND CELEBRATION OF THAT HISTORIC EVENTfor a different day, and by having all of the LEGAL PAPERWORK handled quietlyand privately, with MILITARY PRESENCE, TO INSURE THE SAFETY of the TRUMP FAMILY and the TRANSITION TEAM.
WITH STRONG MILITARY IN PLACE, PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN GET SET TO WORK ON HIS DAY ONE LIST.
WE THE PEOPLE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR OUR DAY OF THIS HISTORIC CELEBRATION, KNOWING OUR PRESIDENT IS SAFE.
THE GUARANTEED SAFETY OF PRESIDENT TRUMP AND OF HIS ENTIRE FAMILY MUST BE PRIORITY ONE.
I read that article before coming here. I never dreamed that demo-commies would practice election war games. I do not disbelieve Matt. I’m saddened that I still can be shocked by the dems’s nefarious plans. One thing I’ll give them--they know how and have the creative flexibility to take, keep, and use power.
01/26/24: What astonishes me is that "Apparently Bill Ackerman is completely unaware of the history of Harvard." On second thought, I can't say that it does astonish me. Spent about ten-fifteen years with these midget-manipulators in the trenches of Wall Street, and this is what they are --- capable of what they do and outside of their specialty, ignorant savages.
I’ve been to Texas several times in my career and biked from New Mexico to Louisiana. I love the people, the land and the History. Maybe I was initiated too early watching Fess Parker beat the living shit out of those Mexicans in the last scene from Davey Crockett but if anyone don’t like it tough. Faithful readers may remember me recounting how well my wife and I were treated there when Canada (when it was a serious Country) got those Americans out of Iran following the Hostage Crisis in 1979
But as good and heart-warming as watching Abbott (and Texas) tell Biden and the SC to GFT, there is something about waiting for an election year to bring this whole thing to this point that troubles me. Lets face it this could and should have been done last year or even before that, probs stopping 3-5M economic parasites, and terrorists from strolling into the country.
This morning on X I read this…see if you agree!
It’s posted by a guy called Shadow of Ezra (blue checked)
Greg Abbott was promoted by George W. Bush earlier in his career. Dont fall in love with him just yet.
Abbott was the Texas Attorney General before becoming Governor, and George W. Bush was the Governor of Texas before becoming President.
Three years of illegal invasion and now suddenly he does something during an election year.
Another red flag is having the support of Governor Brian Kemp who refuses to fire Fani Willis and rigged the 2020 election against Trump.
Until we see real action this could all just be a political stunt.
The Deep State would love to start a civil war during election year.
I’ve been saying the same thing as the last line since I’ve been on here. Get your ass down to the Gun Store and buy an extra one and some more ammo. You know why!
And now, do nothing RINO Cornyn is standing in the senate condemning Pedo Joe for the border mess. Why now, John? Why not 3 years ago? Seems like he recently licked his finger, stuck it up in the air and decided it was a great time to jump on the bandwagon. Way too little and way too late.
I'm not a big fan of our governor, but some of those points aren't entirely fair to Abbott. First off, as far as I know, there's no connection between him and the Bush clan other than being a political actor in Texas at the same time. Abbott is self-made, he got to where he is by out-working everyone else. Second, Abbott has (just like Rick Perry before him) been dealing with border problems from the minute he became governor - this is not an election year stunt (and he's not up for reelection this year anyway). For the last 20 years at least, the state has spent an incredible amount of time and resources on grappling with the border (because the federal government won't fix the problem).
Lotta people don't understand Texas. I saw the movie Giant with my Canadian wife. Hollywood thought that Texans are systemically prejudiced against those of Mexican heritage. OK, I have heard folks make slurs, but not in about 50 years. Look at the roster of those who died in the Alamo. Many, many Spanish surnames. Juan Seguin is one of our heroes. I live in Bexar County, where most folks have Spanish surnames, though not all speak good Spanish.
Mr. Burnett, if you live in central Texas, we should take a coffee break together some time.
I do think it's fair to be wary of Abbott simply because he's been a bit of a weathervane as governor (unlike Perry). Bold is not a word usually associated with Abbott. But who knows, maybe he'll surprise us in a good way.
Christopher, I agree with you about our governor. Until recently, he's mostly been a photo-op guy, after the weathervane pointed his way. I'm in wait-and-see mode about him, although I very much like his current stuff.
It'll be very interesting to see if Border Patrol agents follow orders to remove barriers or mutiny. Would love to see them give the middle finger to their management. The big problem is pensions. Takes courage to put that at risk. We'll see.
Maybe on Abbott, but Ken Paxton (AG) has been baptized by fire, beat the Bushies on impeachment, and is a patriot. He is all in on this, and Abbott has no other choice in an election year.
Ohhhh, that is a good point. I’ve heard and read more than once that Martial law will be instituted prior to Nov to create nationwide lockdowns and suspension of the election. Hmmm, Shadow of Ezra could be on to something. 🤔
Don't get too crazy. I admit is has been a very strange run of things right now. Biden is on the edge of the abyss. If we can just let Trump let him fall in all by himself, maybe we've got something.
Chuck, you're not wrong about Abbott. I don't know a conservative Republican here who trusts him. He just knows which way the wind is blowing. Ken Paxton and Dan Patrick are our kind of Republican.
I grew up in Fort Worth and my wife is from Victoria -- BC. You will always be welcome Texas, Chuck. We like our Jews and those who don't had better watch their step here. If you ever visit the San Antonio area, let's get together. I know where there's a nice Jewish delicatessen.
"But if anyone don't like it tough", YEP right there with you as so many are. BTW Abbot could have done this months ago. Abbot, he's a Bush subject and goes with the prevailing political winds take him.
Paxton and Patrick have his back: 🚨 BREAKING: Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick issues WARNING to the Biden Administration: "The biggest mistake the Biden administration could make would be CONFRONTING LAW ENFORCEMENT, or our Military, or our National Guard at our Border."
Kamala a C student? How about she was left back five times! And maybe is equivalent to a sixth grader now. Still love Sen. Kennedy's observation..."when Kamala's IQ gets to 75 she should sell". Hysterical... and sad.
Well he recently kept one of these DIE imbeciles from a judgeship. In all fairness these committee meetings never produce much more than a bit of entertainment, do they?
Senator Kennedy's vast knowledge of the LAW brings forth the OBVIOUSLOW IQ and Complete LACK OF EDUCATION ACROSS THE BOARD. ANone of the candidates are qualified for any position as a judge or for any other position in U.S. government. YET, the Elite Schools keep churning out MORONS BY THE DOZEN. ALL GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS TO COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES SHOULD BE HALTED. IT jUST KEEPS THE BIASED, HATE FILLED, RACIST BALL ROLLING US TOWARD HELL.
Educating the public seems to be a mandatory step one to fixing anything now. Senator Kennedy does this educating with humor and a gentle "down-home", BRILLIANT LAWYER flair that gets attention. Hopefully, he can keep enough Morons out of Judgeships for us to survive to November '24! He is a HERO of mine; I applaud him for taking the time to gently slap the faces of young, uneducated and ignorant Democrats. Those who have been 'slapped' by the GENIUS will always wear that 'NECKLACE OF LOW IQ" AROUND THEIR NECKS FOR....EVERRRRRR.
I can watch Senator Kennedy for hours on end. I've gone back 2 or 3 years worth on You Tube just to watch his "Thank you for meeting with our committee," turn into "Look out, it's a Truck!" I love that gentleman-schtick he starts with and the swashbuckle he ends up with. Not a shot was fired. Not many liberal nominees get past him with their skin or their liberalism intact. The really stupid ones blather all that thank-you-senator crappola back at him while they repeat verbatim the question he has just asked.
AMEN TO THAT! Senator Kennedy is a Super Star in my book. No College Educated Moron gets the best of him as he gently shows the pathetic level of their stupidity.
I BEG TO DIFFER. SENATOR KENNEDY IS NOT BEING FUNNY OR ENTERTAINING. HE IS SHOWINGUS A VERY BAD TRUE MOVIE OF DEMOCRAT JUDGE-BOUND MORONS, BROUGHT TO ALL OF US BY OUR ELITE UNIVERSITIES, AND AT OUR EXPENSE! hIS EASY MANNER IS EDUCATED LOUISIANA DROLL... LOVE YA, REDDOG!
I wasn't just referring to his comments recently directed at the judicial nominees. I find him interesting and sometimes informative, but it takes more than that to change the country's direction. He has what most of the other GOP members have, their lazy and content. Being able to speak and the use of the right words are a good starter for politicians, but that is only part of the job. Football quarterbacks can call all the right plays in the huddle but if they then go out and don't execute on it they get nothing in return. We have set the bar so low in this country for elected official's performance it boggles the mind. That needs to change.
Each person brings their individual talents to the mix, and we need all of them. I suspect Kennedy's voting record is staunchly with Rand Paul, Cruz, etc. Kennedy helps us keep things in perspective and proceed through our day with a smile on our face. What a wonderful, wicked wit!
I agree over all but there is way too much bold talk, tough talk, and comedic talk today from the GOP with little action to back it up. That's why I like Trump. He says what he is going to do and then does his best to do it. But the GOP seems to take a different approach. They do the talking but its almost like their view is always on the long game that never seems to come to fruition. At some point, you have to have short term wins. At the root of the problem is the lack of term limits and a culture of do-nothing. This has to change or the party will become just a hollow vessel.
I don’t think The Turtle and his crew give Kennedy any committees to lead or any form of authority. He scares them. All he has, for now, is the bully pulpit and his vote. May his influence grow.
I'm thinking she got plenty of A's since she was obviously in the special ed. classes. Public schools do that to have the students feel good about themselves. I think she did say she road the short yellow bus to school each day.
One of the many ironies of what you point out is that of the Jews, who all of a sudden, are now victims of the very people they've been arguing we should let in with uncontrolled immigration, which they as a group have promoted for 100 years. I'm from South Texas and we've been seeing Mexicans and Central Americans come over for 100 years or so and they bring their own prejudices and racist beliefs, called La Raza. Now, we have huge numbers of Muslims and African pagans coming as well, most of whom have strong anti-Semitic/anti Christian and white hatred, in the former because of their religious training. As you say, this situation is replicated all over the Anglo Sphere and Western Europe, people wanting to live like us, as opposed to their very chaotic, racist, violent, misogynistic, cultures, but who are in the process of destroying us and making ours's like theirs. Western Europe is already gone. It is exactly the reason why none of the major Asian countries, New Zealand, Australia, China, Korea, and Japan, rarely allow any of these people to immigrate to their countries, as they know their societies will not improve and will degrade over time.
Spot on. Went to Russia a few years ago. Had a good time. Met a lot of really good people and saw no immigrant types. In fact, our very well educated guide as me why we allowed so many illegals to cross the border. She said that doesn’t happen in Russia. I told her we didn’t allow it, our moron leaders do. She told me we would regret it. Russians are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
That is true I believe. It is clear after talking to both highly educated and semi-educated Russians that they do not view up as an enemy. They readily admit their leaders are corrupt but then, they have always been corrupt so that is the norm. I think you can see this in the attitude of the soldiers forced to fight in Ukraine. They are not all-in with that war but have little choice in the matter. Our government always needs a villain and Russia fits the bill for them but we are focusing on the wrong people. China and Iran is where the focus should be. Mr. Trump's inroads into NoKo showed where his mind was regarding these so-called enemies and I agree with him. We do not have to have them as loyal friends to be able to have common goals and do business with them, and that scares the hell out of Neocons and RINO's. Russia is a huge untapped market for us if we would just see it as such instead of an eternal enemy.
Guess they are way ahead of us. Sooner or later, there is going to be a come to Jesus moment for us with respect to this migration of Islamic and third world peoples. The sooner the better.
I’ve been to New Zealand and Australia many times. Both countries are jam packed with Asian immigrants and once in Adelaide my cab driver was from Turkey. Their immigration policies are strict but they’re still letting in the wrong people. Both countries are super left wing and will wind up the same as Europe eventually.
I haven't been there in many years, so it's obviously changed. And you're right, those two countries will end up where the rest of the Anglo Sphere/Western Europe is now.
These "immigrants" crossing the southern borders are like the barbarians - the Huns, the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Avars, Gepids, and others - who crossed the borders of the Western Roman Empire. The Empire collapsed in 476 A.D. when the barbarian, Odoacer, ousted the Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustulus, and became King.
Don, I wish you would resist the phrase "Palestinian Soliders", they are not an army in any traditional sense, they are sub human terrorists and barbarians. Their actions on 10/7 and honestly before then and after have continually demonstrated they deserve nothing but being executed. I think that they Gaza Strip should be carpet bombed, salted, and left as a reminder to the other villainous scum in the region, FAFO.
‘sub human terrorists and barbarians’… the euntermenshen of our worst nightmares. A casual reading of their exploits even make the Nazi’s look restrained by comparison!
"A casual reading of their exploits even make the Nazi’s look restrained by comparison!" or the behavior of the Japanese Armies in China, Korea, and the Philippines during World War II.
Thanks for the German word I didn't know and had to look up. You earned some points there. ("Learn a new word each day by using it every way." I am very old school and Readers' Digest-y.)
Biden et al will regret saying , "You have until January 26th." That was his albatross. Twenty five governors , en masse, declared (now paraphrasing) "That's bullshit." Game on, everybody. Game on. General Trump will be calling the shots hence forth, and there is no turning back.
Yeah, big mistake by the "big guy". Watch for the first democrat governor to support Abbott. If that happens that is ball game - the amount of arm twisting going on to keep blue governors on the farm right now must be amazing. Watch for legislative action in Kentucky and North Carolina to put them on the hot seat.
And actually Abbott is now calling the shots. Trump is just along for the ride. A very pleasant profitable ride I would think from an electoral perspective.
Your right but why do blue state people always make the problems worse before they see the light? Answer: because in this case, they already got what they wanted, tens of millions of potential new voters..........they think.
True, Islam is a cult of submission and oppression, unlike the Judeo-Christian teachings of love and forgiveness. That progression has gone unnoticed with modern day scholars, all but a few. Pakistan was not always Islamic; it was only when it was conquered was it. Lebanon, a once Christian nation, has been war torn since the Islamic influence began to dominate.
Yeah - it's amazing that Rob Reiner, who was raised as a liberal Jew and turned into an atheist, has stated that "You're no Christian" if you're against the invasion across the southern border (in addition if you're also against things like transgender operations on children, grooming children for sex, and abortion). I'll bet that Rob hasn't even seen a Bible, much less paged through one (he'd be afraid that it would burst into flames in his hands). I'm sure that he's no Muslim which would make him a target for Jihadis.
Vox Day says appropriately that mass immigration is the functional equivalent of war because you end up occupied, losing your culture, your common language and ultimately your nation. I read a letter from a former German defense minister this week saying that Europe will fall to Islam. Imagine that? In the end there will be NO homeland for white people. From a twisted sense of shame imposed by Marxists and incessant passivity because we don't want to make others uncomfortable, we will end up as itinerant beggars with no place to call home if this is allowed to continue. Seeing some fight is always encouraging!
Don’t write us off just yet like Europe. We have never been Europe in anyway. I believe Trump when he says he is going to deport illegals. Islam better be worried too. Iran is keeping the whole militant Islamic thing going today. They arent going to like Trumps reaction after having Bidens support.
You don’t have to be smart, to know the right answer 90% of the time- it’s the opposite of whatever they’re saying.
When the Repubs are offering a different stupid solution, it pays to know the Constitution and what the Founding Fathers worried about.
But above all, as Don so well knows, you’ve got to read the Bible over and over and over, so you know & can recognize in the midst of the fog, what’s good and what’s evil.
That would be the fog of relativism and Satan’s smokescreens. As one of the best-selling books of the 70s (when I joyfully accepted God’s love and Christ’s lordship) was titled- Satan Is Alive and Well on Planet Earth.
Just like to point to a correction to state it's the MARXIST Democrats doings. This is not the Democrat Party of the JFK era. Just think we should call em for what they are.
Don’t Mess With Texas! A state I love & 2 of my children live in Dallas. From Tennessee, give me a T for Texas and a T for Tennessee, the Volunteer state. How on earth did we get this miserable failure of a president and government?! The absolute L-L-L-LOSERS of all time. Add up all of the idiot presidents and you still won’t meet this level of DUMB. Can we start instituting an IQ test before you run for president? The ultimate puppeteer BHO is now dragging his wife in to the race because he’s so desperate to maintain his Marxist utopia. Gay and Muslim, what a combo.
I hate to break it to you, Alice, but Dallas, though it is within Texas, isn't really Texas. Ditto Houston and Austin. The only reason people live in those places is because they have jobs there.
I’d agree on Houston & Austin but less so on Dallas. But I like just about every part of it regardless of the size of the city. I like the small towns too. And the wide open spaces.
Another superb essay from the Poca-Man at the time it is most relevant.Not a lawyer but I understood the SCOTUS decision as a delay until a complete review of the constitutional grounds Texas proffered.The split of the stay bothers me as to how wimpy Roberts and Barrett really are. Poll today needs aota as a choice .Carry forth Mr. Surber and we will march to Victory For American Patriots 2024. ps//FJB
If SCOTUS rules in favor of the Federal government refusing to enforce immigration law and refusing to secure the southern border that may be the spark that ignites another secession movement. This time around it will be the Feds who fire the first shots.
I have never liked Mr. Abbott. He always seemed quick to talk but timid to act to me until pushed to do something by unseen forces. But, I give him all the credit in the world here for doing what should have been done years ago. Same goes for all the Governors who are supporting him. I suspect the timing of this standoff has a little something to do with Mr. Trumps political chances of becoming the next president. Okay, but why has it taken so long for this to happen? I think timing has a lot to do with just about every success or failure with humans. But lets face it, there are tens if millions of illegals in this country today and few if any of the red state governor alliance is openly calling for their deportations. If they are not deported, then the left wins. That was their goal all along..........cheap labor population stuffing. And while we are discussing this, why is the GOP in DC so silent about this standoff? Mr. Trump has promised to mass deport on day one if he is elected. But is the House and Senate GOP on board with this promise? There are a lot of unknowns here, congress being a big part of it. In any regard, there is a constitutional crisis about to happen here as this administration decides what to do about the standoff. If ever there was a place like the so-called “between a rock and a hard place”, this is it for Joe Biden and his band of Communists. The test will be how many more states sign on to support Gov. Abbott and whether it is active or passive support. One thing is for sure, if Texas prevails here, the federal governments heavy hand and its power will be vastly weakened for it.
Nixon doesn't deserve the reputation he has. I didn't like the guy much but he was a good president. His crime of lying to us about his involvement in the break-in was comical by comparison to Obama and Biden and the Clintons. He didn't order the break in, he just lied about it. Not good, but over all he did a good job.
I wasn't, not even close. Shook Ike and Mamie's hand when I was a we lad and never looked back. And my folks were hard core conservatives as well. Some people do have a change in their politics and worldview when they get out in the real world. But I suspect that it is beginning to take shape much earlier than that in most. Some of my lifelong friends tend to be a bit left of center in their social views but very much conservative in most other areas.
Yeah, that is kind of the way too many of the GOP members of congress are today as well. We all want to play the game for short term wins but they play for the long game ................that never sees a conclusion. Almost like they don't want to solve any problems, eh?
They are trying to destroy the West. And they are succeeding with the help of a fifth column of Commies and corrupted (captured) elites. It’s now Commies plus the Billionariat. If we want to get rid of these problems, we need to weed out the Commies who now have most of the control of the nation. And toss their hateful asses back onto the garbage heap of history where they belong. Scumbags.
“Conservatives” have done very little to stop the insidious and then overt, rapid progress by the Left. The main reasons being a lack of will and corruption. They aren’t actually conserving anything. We need to rebuild the Right. Only this week we see the chairman of the Arizona Republican Party stupidly tried to buy off Kari Lake last year, to keep her from running for Senate. This type of conversation has taken place around the country with candidates who threaten the status quo before, no doubt.
As to the immigration problem, it was easily solvable for decades, but nobody who mattered in DC wanted to solve it, so we got this weird alliance between those titans of commerce who wanted cheap labor and the Commies who wanted to take over. It persists to this day and got worse as more “nice” people became indoctrinated with Leftist gobbledygook and more politicians got paid off.
You don’t think the cartels and Red Chinese are paying off Americans? Is Hunter a crackhead? C’mon man...
This is war. We are the enemy of the Establishment. They declared war on us, not the other way around. They are the insurrections, not the people suckered into the Fed dragnet on J6. They are what’s wrong with America, not us. I feel like we are starting to see some traction finally as some people wake up.
My kids are not going to be digital age serfs for degenerate creeps like Bill Gates and Barack Obama.
Fight - whatever’s necessary to oust the Commies and for freedom. The alternative is slavery. The Establishment is afraid of us, thus far without much real progress by our side. We can do better and give them real reasons to fear us.
Saw a great clip last night about how “men who just want to be left alone” when forced, are the most violent people on earth. Because they were forced to change into something they are not and will make people pay for this.
This looks like an insurrection. Next thing you know, the Dems will want all of these Governors removed from office and tried for sedition.
as for the Trump statement, I not sure that was wise. He has a way of trolling the libs. But they will use this as more evidence of inciting. Jack Smith is probably arguing for more gag orders this morning.
But as I stated yesterday, let’s stop pussy footing around. The sooner we start, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can go back to normalcy.
It's funny how being Red-Pilled follows a different timeline for different people, but for everybody with a brain it is inevitable. My oldest brother used to say that "If a man's not a liberal at twenty, he has no heart. If that same man's not a conservative at forty, he has no brain."

When my daughter was 16 she got a part time job as a shampoo girl in a salon. When she got her first paycheck and saw what the government had stolen from her, she was outraged. Our response was to tell her, “Never ever vote for a democrat.” She’s now in her 30’s and is probably more conservative than we are. As are her friends. There is hope for the future.
Yep and my friends in the military back then say he gutted our cia undercover assets in the ME that crippled us for decades
Not only the Shah. It was his administration that insisted that Nicaragua have a communist government.
At 18 I mentioned to a coworker (busboy in Baltimore restaurant) I was going to register to vote. He ask D or R and I said D because my parents were.
He asked, why? And then proceeded to ask about guns, education, welfare, etc. On every issue I was conservative.
At dinner next night I told family (youngest of 4 siblings) I registered to vote ... as a republican. The look on my mother's face said it all.
My father was proud. He was as conservative as anyone but stayed democrat to affect the primary vote since an R wasn't going to win in MD anyway. I on the other hand moved to DE and Finally FL. Fuck liberals
Love it!!
Liberals...all of the Democrats and most of the Republicans.
As a non American please tell me sir more about this "registering for a party" Is it compulsory and does it mean your vote is automatically given to that party at every election? I'm curious to know.
I was a Reagan Democrat for years and my eyes opened widely when Dubya went to war in Iraq in 2003, passed the Patriot Act a year later that is now weaponized against us(we knew this would happen), and then grew government power far more than FDR with the DHS, TSA, et al. Worst president in my lifetime and I voted for the dip$hit twice; his grandfather did bidness with Hitler's Germany like many other of our 'elites' in the 30s.
Trump is the real deal and so is Kari Lake - and you will see that McConnell was behind the bribe to get rid of her.
I feel you are correct D28.
Sounds like that Coal River paycheck was your personal example of the adage “a conservative is a liberal who’s been mugged by reality.”
There's another one: a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged; a liberal is a conservative who's been arrested. I've been the second, but not first - yet. ..... although it would might end poorly for the mugger.
I love accounts of how people get liberated from liberalism! Thank you for sharing yours, Jim. I went through the journey too, and about the same age range, in my 20's. And there's been a continual ongoing further waking up since then. Like you say, Jim, "a different timeline for different people". Millions and millions of our fellow Americans are going through it right now. We need to keep reaching out to them, even if we've been rebuffed in the past. Stay kind, keep the doors of communication open, respect them.
Funny... I have 8 brothers and sisters. All of us in our early years on the lib train. Now only 2. Both a lost cause. Oddly the 2 eldest. They were in college during the Vietnam days... maybe that's it.
It took me until the age of 35.
Sounds like you're, like many of us a recovering liberal who in our youth wore that proverbial prim rose glasses to see the world. I'm recovered too and think a whole lot clearer. I pray!
Nice. One correction. Hussein Soetoro.
" . . .for everybody with a brain it is inevitable."
Well put.
Well said.
This issue alone should make the presidential election a runaway victory for PDJT.
Sadly, this could be said for ten other issues. But this is number 1.
Right, right, right, a hundred times right. A nation without borders is no longer a nation.
Schlongy you are right but we need to plow ahead and stop the grand theft being planned .
Agree. But don’t drop the issue.
THE ELECTION PROCESS T EVERY VOTING LOCATION IS THEAT EVERY VOTING LOCATION IS THE ISSUE THAT MUST BE PRE-PLANNED. THAT IS A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING AND WILL REQUIRE MILITARY OR OTHER PRESENCE FOR SAFETY OF ALL.
I apologize for the typos... blurry vision. What can WE do at voting locations to insure our safety, and still be able to spot, and avoid problems that might arise? Who would be in charge of pre-arranged securiy at voting locations?
My concern is not whether Trump will win but will they allow the peaceful transition. They are pulling put all the stops to prevent the people's choice.
A PEACEFUL TRANSITION can be attained by A DELAY OF THE NOISE AND CELEBRATION OF THAT HISTORIC EVENTfor a different day, and by having all of the LEGAL PAPERWORK handled quietlyand privately, with MILITARY PRESENCE, TO INSURE THE SAFETY of the TRUMP FAMILY and the TRANSITION TEAM.
WITH STRONG MILITARY IN PLACE, PRESIDENT TRUMP CAN GET SET TO WORK ON HIS DAY ONE LIST.
WE THE PEOPLE WILL PATIENTLY WAIT FOR OUR DAY OF THIS HISTORIC CELEBRATION, KNOWING OUR PRESIDENT IS SAFE.
THE GUARANTEED SAFETY OF PRESIDENT TRUMP AND OF HIS ENTIRE FAMILY MUST BE PRIORITY ONE.
Hear, hear!!
Agreed. Americas priority list has dozens of tasks on it with at least five number ones.
https://www.racket.news/p/is-the-electoral-fix-already-in -- By Matt Taibi -- a classical old-school liberal who believes in freedom of speech and non censorship. He is finding his home on the left uncomfortable.
Here's his latest about the 2024 election and it's pretty scary stuff.
I read that article before coming here. I never dreamed that demo-commies would practice election war games. I do not disbelieve Matt. I’m saddened that I still can be shocked by the dems’s nefarious plans. One thing I’ll give them--they know how and have the creative flexibility to take, keep, and use power.
Democrats are power mad. They never want to give it up. It is frightening.
Scary, yet not surprising.
They’re going to go full “color revolution” should Trump win.
Only they’ve failed to take into account his response.
FAFO.
Great read.
If elections were fair, Trump would pull a 72 Nixon. Suspect Abbott having a straight flush in his poker policy will fold to Biden’s pair of Jokers.
It's the stupid party's MO
Never, ever trust a Republican.
How much you want to bet, Mark. I will take Abbott with a Royal Flush.
01/26/24: What astonishes me is that "Apparently Bill Ackerman is completely unaware of the history of Harvard." On second thought, I can't say that it does astonish me. Spent about ten-fifteen years with these midget-manipulators in the trenches of Wall Street, and this is what they are --- capable of what they do and outside of their specialty, ignorant savages.
Bill Ackerman just can't totally swallow the red pill. He doesn't support Biden, but he wants that other Democrat Dean Phillips.
He's a Purple Pill People Eater!
I’ve been to Texas several times in my career and biked from New Mexico to Louisiana. I love the people, the land and the History. Maybe I was initiated too early watching Fess Parker beat the living shit out of those Mexicans in the last scene from Davey Crockett but if anyone don’t like it tough. Faithful readers may remember me recounting how well my wife and I were treated there when Canada (when it was a serious Country) got those Americans out of Iran following the Hostage Crisis in 1979
But as good and heart-warming as watching Abbott (and Texas) tell Biden and the SC to GFT, there is something about waiting for an election year to bring this whole thing to this point that troubles me. Lets face it this could and should have been done last year or even before that, probs stopping 3-5M economic parasites, and terrorists from strolling into the country.
This morning on X I read this…see if you agree!
It’s posted by a guy called Shadow of Ezra (blue checked)
Greg Abbott was promoted by George W. Bush earlier in his career. Dont fall in love with him just yet.
Abbott was the Texas Attorney General before becoming Governor, and George W. Bush was the Governor of Texas before becoming President.
Three years of illegal invasion and now suddenly he does something during an election year.
Another red flag is having the support of Governor Brian Kemp who refuses to fire Fani Willis and rigged the 2020 election against Trump.
Until we see real action this could all just be a political stunt.
The Deep State would love to start a civil war during election year.
I’ve been saying the same thing as the last line since I’ve been on here. Get your ass down to the Gun Store and buy an extra one and some more ammo. You know why!
And now, do nothing RINO Cornyn is standing in the senate condemning Pedo Joe for the border mess. Why now, John? Why not 3 years ago? Seems like he recently licked his finger, stuck it up in the air and decided it was a great time to jump on the bandwagon. Way too little and way too late.
Why now, John? Because your first sentence was correct. He’s a RINO.
Cornyn is a dem to his wallet but runs as a pub to be elected Plays.
Too true. I am praying for someone to primary him in '26.
I'm not a big fan of our governor, but some of those points aren't entirely fair to Abbott. First off, as far as I know, there's no connection between him and the Bush clan other than being a political actor in Texas at the same time. Abbott is self-made, he got to where he is by out-working everyone else. Second, Abbott has (just like Rick Perry before him) been dealing with border problems from the minute he became governor - this is not an election year stunt (and he's not up for reelection this year anyway). For the last 20 years at least, the state has spent an incredible amount of time and resources on grappling with the border (because the federal government won't fix the problem).
Lotta people don't understand Texas. I saw the movie Giant with my Canadian wife. Hollywood thought that Texans are systemically prejudiced against those of Mexican heritage. OK, I have heard folks make slurs, but not in about 50 years. Look at the roster of those who died in the Alamo. Many, many Spanish surnames. Juan Seguin is one of our heroes. I live in Bexar County, where most folks have Spanish surnames, though not all speak good Spanish.
Mr. Burnett, if you live in central Texas, we should take a coffee break together some time.
Yep, 'Wetbacks' has been dead quite a while.
Fair enough. The proof of the pudding right. We’ll see how this elevates
I do think it's fair to be wary of Abbott simply because he's been a bit of a weathervane as governor (unlike Perry). Bold is not a word usually associated with Abbott. But who knows, maybe he'll surprise us in a good way.
Christopher, I agree with you about our governor. Until recently, he's mostly been a photo-op guy, after the weathervane pointed his way. I'm in wait-and-see mode about him, although I very much like his current stuff.
It'll be very interesting to see if Border Patrol agents follow orders to remove barriers or mutiny. Would love to see them give the middle finger to their management. The big problem is pensions. Takes courage to put that at risk. We'll see.
Maybe on Abbott, but Ken Paxton (AG) has been baptized by fire, beat the Bushies on impeachment, and is a patriot. He is all in on this, and Abbott has no other choice in an election year.
Ohhhh, that is a good point. I’ve heard and read more than once that Martial law will be instituted prior to Nov to create nationwide lockdowns and suspension of the election. Hmmm, Shadow of Ezra could be on to something. 🤔
Don't get too crazy. I admit is has been a very strange run of things right now. Biden is on the edge of the abyss. If we can just let Trump let him fall in all by himself, maybe we've got something.
If that happens better stay away from all major cities. Going to be bedlam.
Chuck, you're not wrong about Abbott. I don't know a conservative Republican here who trusts him. He just knows which way the wind is blowing. Ken Paxton and Dan Patrick are our kind of Republican.
I grew up in Fort Worth and my wife is from Victoria -- BC. You will always be welcome Texas, Chuck. We like our Jews and those who don't had better watch their step here. If you ever visit the San Antonio area, let's get together. I know where there's a nice Jewish delicatessen.
Hey Rich,
I’m good with that too but let’s find a place where they do those big Texas Steaks and couple of stiff drinks🥰
"But if anyone don't like it tough", YEP right there with you as so many are. BTW Abbot could have done this months ago. Abbot, he's a Bush subject and goes with the prevailing political winds take him.
Paxton and Patrick have his back: 🚨 BREAKING: Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick issues WARNING to the Biden Administration: "The biggest mistake the Biden administration could make would be CONFRONTING LAW ENFORCEMENT, or our Military, or our National Guard at our Border."
Kamala a C student? How about she was left back five times! And maybe is equivalent to a sixth grader now. Still love Sen. Kennedy's observation..."when Kamala's IQ gets to 75 she should sell". Hysterical... and sad.
Kamala couldn't spell Cat, if you spotted her the C and the A.
Yep, but wish mr. Kennedy was as good at fixing things as he is at comedy.
Well he recently kept one of these DIE imbeciles from a judgeship. In all fairness these committee meetings never produce much more than a bit of entertainment, do they?
Senator Kennedy's vast knowledge of the LAW brings forth the OBVIOUSLOW IQ and Complete LACK OF EDUCATION ACROSS THE BOARD. ANone of the candidates are qualified for any position as a judge or for any other position in U.S. government. YET, the Elite Schools keep churning out MORONS BY THE DOZEN. ALL GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS TO COLLEGES/UNIVERSITIES SHOULD BE HALTED. IT jUST KEEPS THE BIASED, HATE FILLED, RACIST BALL ROLLING US TOWARD HELL.
Even getting one to step out is a victory when dealing with tooltoys from obidet.
Educating the public seems to be a mandatory step one to fixing anything now. Senator Kennedy does this educating with humor and a gentle "down-home", BRILLIANT LAWYER flair that gets attention. Hopefully, he can keep enough Morons out of Judgeships for us to survive to November '24! He is a HERO of mine; I applaud him for taking the time to gently slap the faces of young, uneducated and ignorant Democrats. Those who have been 'slapped' by the GENIUS will always wear that 'NECKLACE OF LOW IQ" AROUND THEIR NECKS FOR....EVERRRRRR.
I can watch Senator Kennedy for hours on end. I've gone back 2 or 3 years worth on You Tube just to watch his "Thank you for meeting with our committee," turn into "Look out, it's a Truck!" I love that gentleman-schtick he starts with and the swashbuckle he ends up with. Not a shot was fired. Not many liberal nominees get past him with their skin or their liberalism intact. The really stupid ones blather all that thank-you-senator crappola back at him while they repeat verbatim the question he has just asked.
AMEN TO THAT! Senator Kennedy is a Super Star in my book. No College Educated Moron gets the best of him as he gently shows the pathetic level of their stupidity.
Well put. I couldn't agree more.
Trouble is, we aren't paying them for entertainment, we are paying them to fix problems and not create more.
I BEG TO DIFFER. SENATOR KENNEDY IS NOT BEING FUNNY OR ENTERTAINING. HE IS SHOWINGUS A VERY BAD TRUE MOVIE OF DEMOCRAT JUDGE-BOUND MORONS, BROUGHT TO ALL OF US BY OUR ELITE UNIVERSITIES, AND AT OUR EXPENSE! hIS EASY MANNER IS EDUCATED LOUISIANA DROLL... LOVE YA, REDDOG!
I wasn't just referring to his comments recently directed at the judicial nominees. I find him interesting and sometimes informative, but it takes more than that to change the country's direction. He has what most of the other GOP members have, their lazy and content. Being able to speak and the use of the right words are a good starter for politicians, but that is only part of the job. Football quarterbacks can call all the right plays in the huddle but if they then go out and don't execute on it they get nothing in return. We have set the bar so low in this country for elected official's performance it boggles the mind. That needs to change.
Each person brings their individual talents to the mix, and we need all of them. I suspect Kennedy's voting record is staunchly with Rand Paul, Cruz, etc. Kennedy helps us keep things in perspective and proceed through our day with a smile on our face. What a wonderful, wicked wit!
I agree over all but there is way too much bold talk, tough talk, and comedic talk today from the GOP with little action to back it up. That's why I like Trump. He says what he is going to do and then does his best to do it. But the GOP seems to take a different approach. They do the talking but its almost like their view is always on the long game that never seems to come to fruition. At some point, you have to have short term wins. At the root of the problem is the lack of term limits and a culture of do-nothing. This has to change or the party will become just a hollow vessel.
Sometimes all you need do to bring a lefty down is to publicly laugh at them. It exposes the lunacy of their position.
I don’t think The Turtle and his crew give Kennedy any committees to lead or any form of authority. He scares them. All he has, for now, is the bully pulpit and his vote. May his influence grow.
I'm thinking she got plenty of A's since she was obviously in the special ed. classes. Public schools do that to have the students feel good about themselves. I think she did say she road the short yellow bus to school each day.
Maybe all the weed she smoked killed her brain cells.
Exactly. Marijuana is a gateway drug...to stupidity.
All that giggling shows she is still on the weed....so, NO HOPE OF cell growth...its a done deal.
One of the many ironies of what you point out is that of the Jews, who all of a sudden, are now victims of the very people they've been arguing we should let in with uncontrolled immigration, which they as a group have promoted for 100 years. I'm from South Texas and we've been seeing Mexicans and Central Americans come over for 100 years or so and they bring their own prejudices and racist beliefs, called La Raza. Now, we have huge numbers of Muslims and African pagans coming as well, most of whom have strong anti-Semitic/anti Christian and white hatred, in the former because of their religious training. As you say, this situation is replicated all over the Anglo Sphere and Western Europe, people wanting to live like us, as opposed to their very chaotic, racist, violent, misogynistic, cultures, but who are in the process of destroying us and making ours's like theirs. Western Europe is already gone. It is exactly the reason why none of the major Asian countries, New Zealand, Australia, China, Korea, and Japan, rarely allow any of these people to immigrate to their countries, as they know their societies will not improve and will degrade over time.
Danny Huckabee
Spot on. Went to Russia a few years ago. Had a good time. Met a lot of really good people and saw no immigrant types. In fact, our very well educated guide as me why we allowed so many illegals to cross the border. She said that doesn’t happen in Russia. I told her we didn’t allow it, our moron leaders do. She told me we would regret it. Russians are a lot smarter than we give them credit for.
Russian people are our natural allies. They're smart, cultured, and very religious, and they have never had a fair deal from their governments.
That is true I believe. It is clear after talking to both highly educated and semi-educated Russians that they do not view up as an enemy. They readily admit their leaders are corrupt but then, they have always been corrupt so that is the norm. I think you can see this in the attitude of the soldiers forced to fight in Ukraine. They are not all-in with that war but have little choice in the matter. Our government always needs a villain and Russia fits the bill for them but we are focusing on the wrong people. China and Iran is where the focus should be. Mr. Trump's inroads into NoKo showed where his mind was regarding these so-called enemies and I agree with him. We do not have to have them as loyal friends to be able to have common goals and do business with them, and that scares the hell out of Neocons and RINO's. Russia is a huge untapped market for us if we would just see it as such instead of an eternal enemy.
Same thing as with Poland and Hungary - they don't let these immigrants in without careful vetting.
Guess they are way ahead of us. Sooner or later, there is going to be a come to Jesus moment for us with respect to this migration of Islamic and third world peoples. The sooner the better.
Poland has now gone to the dark side after just electing a flaming Leftist.
Oh, crap!
I’ve been to New Zealand and Australia many times. Both countries are jam packed with Asian immigrants and once in Adelaide my cab driver was from Turkey. Their immigration policies are strict but they’re still letting in the wrong people. Both countries are super left wing and will wind up the same as Europe eventually.
I haven't been there in many years, so it's obviously changed. And you're right, those two countries will end up where the rest of the Anglo Sphere/Western Europe is now.
These "immigrants" crossing the southern borders are like the barbarians - the Huns, the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Avars, Gepids, and others - who crossed the borders of the Western Roman Empire. The Empire collapsed in 476 A.D. when the barbarian, Odoacer, ousted the Roman Emperor, Romulus Augustulus, and became King.
If you ever find yourself in San Antonio, let's have coffee.
Don, I wish you would resist the phrase "Palestinian Soliders", they are not an army in any traditional sense, they are sub human terrorists and barbarians. Their actions on 10/7 and honestly before then and after have continually demonstrated they deserve nothing but being executed. I think that they Gaza Strip should be carpet bombed, salted, and left as a reminder to the other villainous scum in the region, FAFO.
‘sub human terrorists and barbarians’… the euntermenshen of our worst nightmares. A casual reading of their exploits even make the Nazi’s look restrained by comparison!
"A casual reading of their exploits even make the Nazi’s look restrained by comparison!" or the behavior of the Japanese Armies in China, Korea, and the Philippines during World War II.
Just for future reference: it's Untermenschen.
Thanks Wim…. Noted😊
Un·ter·mensch?
Thanks for the German word I didn't know and had to look up. You earned some points there. ("Learn a new word each day by using it every way." I am very old school and Readers' Digest-y.)
“sub human terrorists and barbarians” Nope. DEMONS.
Yikes, there are two of us who think the same here😂
Biden et al will regret saying , "You have until January 26th." That was his albatross. Twenty five governors , en masse, declared (now paraphrasing) "That's bullshit." Game on, everybody. Game on. General Trump will be calling the shots hence forth, and there is no turning back.
Great comment
Yeah, big mistake by the "big guy". Watch for the first democrat governor to support Abbott. If that happens that is ball game - the amount of arm twisting going on to keep blue governors on the farm right now must be amazing. Watch for legislative action in Kentucky and North Carolina to put them on the hot seat.
And actually Abbott is now calling the shots. Trump is just along for the ride. A very pleasant profitable ride I would think from an electoral perspective.
Your right but why do blue state people always make the problems worse before they see the light? Answer: because in this case, they already got what they wanted, tens of millions of potential new voters..........they think.
We’ll know for sure when Eric Adams and Brandon Johnson jump on the razor wire train.
The problem we and our leaders fail to face and deal with is Islam itself.
True, Islam is a cult of submission and oppression, unlike the Judeo-Christian teachings of love and forgiveness. That progression has gone unnoticed with modern day scholars, all but a few. Pakistan was not always Islamic; it was only when it was conquered was it. Lebanon, a once Christian nation, has been war torn since the Islamic influence began to dominate.
Yeah - it's amazing that Rob Reiner, who was raised as a liberal Jew and turned into an atheist, has stated that "You're no Christian" if you're against the invasion across the southern border (in addition if you're also against things like transgender operations on children, grooming children for sex, and abortion). I'll bet that Rob hasn't even seen a Bible, much less paged through one (he'd be afraid that it would burst into flames in his hands). I'm sure that he's no Muslim which would make him a target for Jihadis.
After all, he earned the name 'Meathead'.
Now it's "Rotted Meathead".
Archie nailed it. "MEATHEAD" says it all.
I never, ever believed Dubya Bush yammering on about a "religion of peace." I'll never be convinced.
True, but we will eventually. Hope it isn’t too late for us when it happens.
Vox Day says appropriately that mass immigration is the functional equivalent of war because you end up occupied, losing your culture, your common language and ultimately your nation. I read a letter from a former German defense minister this week saying that Europe will fall to Islam. Imagine that? In the end there will be NO homeland for white people. From a twisted sense of shame imposed by Marxists and incessant passivity because we don't want to make others uncomfortable, we will end up as itinerant beggars with no place to call home if this is allowed to continue. Seeing some fight is always encouraging!
Don’t write us off just yet like Europe. We have never been Europe in anyway. I believe Trump when he says he is going to deport illegals. Islam better be worried too. Iran is keeping the whole militant Islamic thing going today. They arent going to like Trumps reaction after having Bidens support.
Like the Jewish people
FIGHT BACK LIKE THE DEVIL!
Better yet- when the Dems promote anything.
You don’t have to be smart, to know the right answer 90% of the time- it’s the opposite of whatever they’re saying.
When the Repubs are offering a different stupid solution, it pays to know the Constitution and what the Founding Fathers worried about.
But above all, as Don so well knows, you’ve got to read the Bible over and over and over, so you know & can recognize in the midst of the fog, what’s good and what’s evil.
That would be the fog of relativism and Satan’s smokescreens. As one of the best-selling books of the 70s (when I joyfully accepted God’s love and Christ’s lordship) was titled- Satan Is Alive and Well on Planet Earth.
Just like to point to a correction to state it's the MARXIST Democrats doings. This is not the Democrat Party of the JFK era. Just think we should call em for what they are.
Don’t Mess With Texas! A state I love & 2 of my children live in Dallas. From Tennessee, give me a T for Texas and a T for Tennessee, the Volunteer state. How on earth did we get this miserable failure of a president and government?! The absolute L-L-L-LOSERS of all time. Add up all of the idiot presidents and you still won’t meet this level of DUMB. Can we start instituting an IQ test before you run for president? The ultimate puppeteer BHO is now dragging his wife in to the race because he’s so desperate to maintain his Marxist utopia. Gay and Muslim, what a combo.
I hate to break it to you, Alice, but Dallas, though it is within Texas, isn't really Texas. Ditto Houston and Austin. The only reason people live in those places is because they have jobs there.
I’d agree on Houston & Austin but less so on Dallas. But I like just about every part of it regardless of the size of the city. I like the small towns too. And the wide open spaces.
Another superb essay from the Poca-Man at the time it is most relevant.Not a lawyer but I understood the SCOTUS decision as a delay until a complete review of the constitutional grounds Texas proffered.The split of the stay bothers me as to how wimpy Roberts and Barrett really are. Poll today needs aota as a choice .Carry forth Mr. Surber and we will march to Victory For American Patriots 2024. ps//FJB
If SCOTUS rules in favor of the Federal government refusing to enforce immigration law and refusing to secure the southern border that may be the spark that ignites another secession movement. This time around it will be the Feds who fire the first shots.
I have never liked Mr. Abbott. He always seemed quick to talk but timid to act to me until pushed to do something by unseen forces. But, I give him all the credit in the world here for doing what should have been done years ago. Same goes for all the Governors who are supporting him. I suspect the timing of this standoff has a little something to do with Mr. Trumps political chances of becoming the next president. Okay, but why has it taken so long for this to happen? I think timing has a lot to do with just about every success or failure with humans. But lets face it, there are tens if millions of illegals in this country today and few if any of the red state governor alliance is openly calling for their deportations. If they are not deported, then the left wins. That was their goal all along..........cheap labor population stuffing. And while we are discussing this, why is the GOP in DC so silent about this standoff? Mr. Trump has promised to mass deport on day one if he is elected. But is the House and Senate GOP on board with this promise? There are a lot of unknowns here, congress being a big part of it. In any regard, there is a constitutional crisis about to happen here as this administration decides what to do about the standoff. If ever there was a place like the so-called “between a rock and a hard place”, this is it for Joe Biden and his band of Communists. The test will be how many more states sign on to support Gov. Abbott and whether it is active or passive support. One thing is for sure, if Texas prevails here, the federal governments heavy hand and its power will be vastly weakened for it.
People do change. I'll bet an awful lot of us were Dems in our early days... and wasn't Donald?
I defended Nixon while in high school. Everyone else in my family was liberal. I never was.
Nixon doesn't deserve the reputation he has. I didn't like the guy much but he was a good president. His crime of lying to us about his involvement in the break-in was comical by comparison to Obama and Biden and the Clintons. He didn't order the break in, he just lied about it. Not good, but over all he did a good job.
I wasn't, not even close. Shook Ike and Mamie's hand when I was a we lad and never looked back. And my folks were hard core conservatives as well. Some people do have a change in their politics and worldview when they get out in the real world. But I suspect that it is beginning to take shape much earlier than that in most. Some of my lifelong friends tend to be a bit left of center in their social views but very much conservative in most other areas.
Indeed! Took Abbott far too long to get activated but better late than never.
Yeah, that is kind of the way too many of the GOP members of congress are today as well. We all want to play the game for short term wins but they play for the long game ................that never sees a conclusion. Almost like they don't want to solve any problems, eh?
They are trying to destroy the West. And they are succeeding with the help of a fifth column of Commies and corrupted (captured) elites. It’s now Commies plus the Billionariat. If we want to get rid of these problems, we need to weed out the Commies who now have most of the control of the nation. And toss their hateful asses back onto the garbage heap of history where they belong. Scumbags.
“Conservatives” have done very little to stop the insidious and then overt, rapid progress by the Left. The main reasons being a lack of will and corruption. They aren’t actually conserving anything. We need to rebuild the Right. Only this week we see the chairman of the Arizona Republican Party stupidly tried to buy off Kari Lake last year, to keep her from running for Senate. This type of conversation has taken place around the country with candidates who threaten the status quo before, no doubt.
As to the immigration problem, it was easily solvable for decades, but nobody who mattered in DC wanted to solve it, so we got this weird alliance between those titans of commerce who wanted cheap labor and the Commies who wanted to take over. It persists to this day and got worse as more “nice” people became indoctrinated with Leftist gobbledygook and more politicians got paid off.
You don’t think the cartels and Red Chinese are paying off Americans? Is Hunter a crackhead? C’mon man...
This is war. We are the enemy of the Establishment. They declared war on us, not the other way around. They are the insurrections, not the people suckered into the Fed dragnet on J6. They are what’s wrong with America, not us. I feel like we are starting to see some traction finally as some people wake up.
My kids are not going to be digital age serfs for degenerate creeps like Bill Gates and Barack Obama.
Fight - whatever’s necessary to oust the Commies and for freedom. The alternative is slavery. The Establishment is afraid of us, thus far without much real progress by our side. We can do better and give them real reasons to fear us.

Saw a great clip last night about how “men who just want to be left alone” when forced, are the most violent people on earth. Because they were forced to change into something they are not and will make people pay for this.
Jordan Peterson says that a man should be a monster, but keep the monster chained until it is really needed.
“A harmless man is not a good man. A good man is a very dangerous man who has that under voluntary control.”
“You can't truly call yourself 'peaceful' unless you're capable of violence. If you're not capable of violence, you're not peaceful. You're harmless.

McCarthy wasn’t wrong about commies. He made fatal missteps, however.
He was right but faced too many non declared socialists and a BIASED press even then.
Sadly, that is true. Would that we could change history at such a pivotal point in which McCarthy succeeded.
But this is the reality we must face. As the Smothers Brothers said, “Reality is just an escape for people who can’t handle drugs.” lol

Scary. Like Shakespeare said his darkest play, “Sleep no more! Macbeth hath murdered sleep!”
“I don’t think it’s a slam dunk, but I like our odds.”
Great line ~ particularly when you include God!
Interesting. Thanks.
Well said.
This looks like an insurrection. Next thing you know, the Dems will want all of these Governors removed from office and tried for sedition.
as for the Trump statement, I not sure that was wise. He has a way of trolling the libs. But they will use this as more evidence of inciting. Jack Smith is probably arguing for more gag orders this morning.
But as I stated yesterday, let’s stop pussy footing around. The sooner we start, the sooner we finish, the sooner we can go back to normalcy.
