I don’t think these Uber rich assholes give a rats ass about Trump, the US or the legitimate US electorate.

I do think they care about whether or not the little man can buy their products and thereby keep them Uber rich and therefore cheer on the benefits of a Trump economic rebirth.

But that’s all dependent on our boy getting in. And I bet that as we speak there are thousands of phony ballots being printed just to deny us that!

Ask yourself a question. If you know that an election you may very well lose, could result in your arrest, trial and conviction for who knows what crimes ( theft, treason and murder for openers), how hard would you work, and to what depths would you go to prevent that?

See what I mean?

I agree with your initial points 1 (Trump) and 3 (the electorate). I think some of them are beginning to realize there is a real significant danger to 2 (the US). And I think they are beginning to realize that the danger to the world they know and have prospered in is a bit more serious than they thought.

The American revolutionary war was fought and funded by real wealthy people who saw what was possible, knew they could profit by it, and seemed to recognize the times they were in. For about 20 years we had a coalescence of some of the greatest political minds attached to wealth and power who went all in, against the wealth and power of the greatest nation on earth. There has been nothing like it before or since. The wealthy who backed Britain left after they had lost.

Fast forward to today. A bunch of wealthy people realized they could siphon off the profits of most of the world and try and remake the world in their image. Now, a bunch of wealthy people realize this has all sorts of bad outcomes. A giant leviathan state that can control and make and break you run by sociopaths at best if you fall out of favor. The threat of global Islam that would kill all of these people in an instant if they could. And an understanding that the enlightenment and the founder's vision for America had some real serious juice, juice that we cannot lose.

Musk's takeover of Twitter, now X, was the wake up call. The desire of the US government to triangulate the destruction of Israel was a wake up call. And perhaps the realization that the mojo propelling Trump isn't because of Trump, it is because a lot of people are unhappy with our political elite, and are working to leverage individual State's power in a direct attack on the DC cabal, was a wake up call.

We have finally leveraged enough of the wealthy (Americans) to realize they need to take up against the older guard of the wealthy (the British) just like at the time of the revolution. The stakes are just as high, the odds are not quite as long thankfully, but to lose would be catastrophic. The energy is behind the "Americans". Whether they can bring enough money and power against it remains to be seen.

If Trumps persecutions have taught people anything it is that if the government can do it to him they can sure as hell do it to anyone. Anyone remember the Stasi?

Well written explanation and your third paragraph succinctly describes what the wealthy hoped to achieve. Their dreams of some sort of modern feudalism have come up against the importation of tribalism via victimhood. The misuse of lawfare in NYC against one of their own maybe another wake up call, IMHO.

“ The savage attack on civilian Israelis by Palestinian soldiers/Hamas terrorists and the world’s refusal to be horrified should have sent the message to Helberg, Rob Reiner and every other Jew in America that being Jewish makes you a target.” It emphasizes the fact that if there was no Israel it would be “open season” on Jews everywhere as in Europe during WWII. Too many American Jews just don’t understand this fact.

Our education system is either going to get completely remodeled, or we will never have our country back. I am not a conspiracy guy but the actions of teachers and teachers unions makes me believe that CIA involvement is not far away. Congress stopped close oversight of the CIA because they got tired of the stonewalling the CIA did on everything they asked for. They gave up. Now I suspect that most in congress are afraid of the CIA. Crazy? Maybe, but when you have black programs with secret budgets and little real oversight, it isn't a stretch for folks inside the agency to "branch out".

Wife and I visited Russia a few years ago and were able to talk to a lot of Russians from diverse economic and educational levels. Their stories about life under communism before the breakup made me realize how out of control our government and politics has become. It is chilling the parallels between how the communist USSR treated their people and our government are treating us. If there is to be a revolution, make it now before we fall any farther into the abyss.

Good comment. I don't believe people like Reiner are intelligent enough to understand what they are doing. He may be successful at his work but that doesn't make him smart. Ever notice how Reiner can't make a calm, thoughtful, well-reasoned argument in defense of his ideology, whatever that is, without getting angry and throwing a tantrum? It's because he is trying to defend a failed cause and he has no facts to back it up. He's a liberal and that is without a doubt a characteristic of all liberals, just get angry, deflect, and call people names.

Your argument is tightly reasoned, esp’ly the significance of Oct 7.

Don’t buy, however, that the billionaires (gay or otherwise) amount to a hill of beans. Pales in comparison to a reborn RNC, if it actually conducts a land/air/sea assault on election fraud.

The RNC will hopefully take a strong stance on fraud despite being in the middle of rebuilding itself, but I wonder how powerful it will get with the overwhelming presence of RINOs who are really Democrats. On that issue, most Republicans will not admit the 2020 election had many irregularities, exceeding the point at which the outcome would have been in Trump's favor.

We finally shoved the facts regarding COVID down their throats to reveal their lies, but they are still clinging tightly to denying the election steal. They will never let that one go to the "conspiracy theory graveyard".

After reading all the comments I see two trends. A belief that the democrats are hell bound to steal another election at the polls, and secondly, that there is little the Republicans can do to stop them. However...the Dems are sliding down a slippery slope. Every scheme they drum up turns to shit and backfires. The election will be the biggest failed scheme of all. Believe me, they think they have a new way to fatally defeat the Republican party, but in the end, the idiots will find they were aiming down the barrel of a cannon. Trump will win in a landslide. The RNC will protect every polling place with armed watch dogs. Yakov Smirnoff, the Russian comedian, was asked what he loves most about America. He said, "Warning shots." This November, the orders will be fire first, then say "halt."

You got that right. Killing Trump would unleash a firestorm in this country. But as I said, a firestorm is inevitable regardless of who wins.

Dear Donald, by all means, take the money. Use it for the campaign. Spend every dime. But never, ever get the notion that these megadonors are your friends. They seek only to advance their own interests. They are not patriots, nor believers in limited self-government under our Constitution. Their sudden interest in your campaign is largely due to their awakening to the fact that the rest of the left-wing coalition of the fringes to whih they formerly belonged hates Jews. We white folks already figured out that they hated us back in 2015, so we voted for Trump, hoping that his governance would match his rhetoric. It fell short, of course, because he was not prepared to do what was necessary to implement his entire program, but what he did manage to get through prooved measurably beneficial to the country. Of course, that only enraged his globo-socialist opponents, whose animosity for the traditional Americans who supported Trump's policies was magnified and enflamed. America is engaged in an existential struggle with itself; those who love America as it was intended and founded to be are on one side. Those who wish its demise and replacement are on the other. It is becoming easier to figure out who is on which side. But as in all things, Washington had the wisest advice. Feel free to make common cause with those who support your agenda, but do not become entangled in alliances with anyone. Or, as Reagan advised, "Trust, but verify."

I whole heartedly concur.

They are like the third animal, who, sensing the skies darkening, are now banging upon the Ark to be let in.

By all means take their money. But don’t forget for a minute that these are some of the very same people who’ve funded, some who’ve even established, all the dark money entities, NGO’s, foundations and lobbyists, that have fueled all the horrors over all the years that seek only to desecrate every virtue and value this country was founded upon. They are part and parcel of the belly of the beast.

They may very well be “seeing the light”, now that the raindrops are starting to fall, but it is very late at this juncture to think they can be trusted. They are seeking merely to protect their wealth, not to sacrifice it all for the sake of their country.

When they’re ready to do that, I might begin to cheer at their sudden conversions.

WAR DAY 229. Wednesday May 22nd. Thank you all for your patience with me. Cat is in my lap. I've already had my first cup of coffee at 4:30. It is becoming more and more clear to me that I need to abide not only in God's love but in this apartment being content with my limited view of the outside world but the infinite potential presented by the internet.

I am highly entertained by the s*** show of American politics and the deadly and dangerous battle going on in the world for dominating and silencing God's children.

Being a gospel preacher and a student of Revelations and other end time scriptures, I of course see things a little differently than most. I don't think God is locked in to a set time schedule that makes it easy to predict when he gets back. It is obvious to me that Satan is totally blind to what God is doing and even though he is a highly intelligent adversary God always seems to get the upper hand on him. I think the events of October 7th were the Hamas holes thought they could pin Israel down with a devastating first attack just shows how brain dead the bullies are. But enough of my preaching.

About fifteen years ago, an older cousin who owned a large machine shop/repair facility received a midnight call from a Beckley towing company. A tour bus had gone toes-up on the Turnpike and desperately needed emergency mechanic work. They couldn't think of anybody else to call late at night.

Not a problem. Roger called in his crew from home and met the tow truck and bus at his machine shop. As work began, he did a little paperwork at his desk and the tour-bus owner slowly walked in and sat down to await repairs. Roger glanced up to see a recently-out-of-jail-evangelist-who-shall-not-be-named sitting across from him, and then in his typical laconic fashion, without a word went back to his papers.

Finally the man, clearly uncomfortable, said, "Do you know who I am?"

Without looking up, Roger said, "Yeah, I know who you are."

"Are you going to fix my bus? I was afraid that if you knew who it belonged to, you wouldn't fix it."

Roger looked up. "Your money's good, ain't it? If your money's good, I'll fix your bus." That he did, and the man went on his way.

Now you see why I LOVE being a Coal River hillbilly. We don't care about your past. A lot of us have been in jail ourselves. Wouldn't have it any other way.

So along those lines, we don't care about a billionaire's prior foolishness; if his money's good, we'll take it. Too much at stake for getting all sanctimonious.

I do welcome the billionaire money flowing to the Trump campaign, however, I cannot shed the image of rats fleeing a sinking ship. I do agree with Don that the Oct 7th massacre in Israel might have been a wake-up call to many secular Jews in America. The virulence of the pro-Hamas demonstrators has to make anyone who is the target of their blind hatred a bit fearful. I am sure many of the Jewish students on campuses across America, many of whom were not Zionists, never expected to be treated as garbage or worse by their fellow students. Hedberg, who is both gay and Jewish, probably sees the writing on the wall that progressive Leftism espoused by the current Democrat Party doesn't really have a issue with the pro-Hamas (read pro-Islam, pro-Iran) crowd and their antics. Self preservation is the most basic human instinct and, as such, being the political company of such folks, seems like a bad choice in the long run.

I believe the liberal leaders in this country threw in with Islam decades ago. Islam is an autocratic society of a few haves and a lot of have nots. These liberals think they will continue to be the “leaders” in a Muslim controlled society. They never saw the true underbelly like I did. Within minutes of leaving a shura in Afghanistan, the Muslims would be on the phone with the terrorists so they could set up ambushes. Islam will use them and then kill these “leaders” as traitors to their own people.
