I always enjoy your weekly updates. Depressing but very informative, too. Thank you for going to the work of showing us the true state of our society.
We are all living at an exciting time. We are living through, in real time, societal collapse. I'm about your age and when I was in high school one of our required readings was Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire". He made many accurate observations of why it happened, but the most salient one was that it was not surprising that it fell, but it took so long to do so. Ours is falling down right now and it's accelerating, with the violence and moral rot and decay spread throughout almost all of our institutions. We don't have a couple of centuries to work with. This has been brought about by three terms of Obama and his gang of communists, Islamcists, anarchists, fascists, gangsters, thieves, sexual deviants, and corrupt Republicans who have allowed these types to take over everything.
Bismarck, the founder of the modern German state, observed that God watches out for drunks and the United States of America. Perhaps He will save us from our foibles, sin, and stupidity, as so many of these criminals were elected to office. But we should place our faith in God, but keep our powder dry, and pray he grants us grace inspite of ourselves.
Well said. Sharing your same sentiments and fearing for the future generation's existence as Americans of what been inherited by us, my greatest fear is that they have no idea of what's really happening. And consequently, will take no action to correct the course of our nation suicide by neglect and ignorance. God help us all. FJB and Barry Soetoro
It would be nice if we would halt all further aid to Ukraine until the Open the Books and we get an audit of where all the cash went. In fact, that should be part of all foreign aid. I'm not the president so I can't be impeached for suggesting that.
No reflection on the people of Russia or the people of Ukraine, but they are each governed by thugs....just a modernized, expanded version of wars between our crime families which afflicted this country after we foolishly made alcohol illegal. It has only gotten worse with the so-called "war on drugs" which likely explains much of the sudden wealth acquired by our political class who seem to be able to turn a pig's ear into a silk purse.
I guess I am being a bit of a hypocrite since our current government is only a slightly more sophisticated government of thugs.
1. After watching the “ demonstrations” last night, I wonder if the phrase from the river to the sea is talking about New York City rather than Israel? I’m disgusted that the New York City police told the Jews to shelter in place.
I haven’t seen such a disgusting display since Krystallnaucht.
It was as disgusting as when BLM created mini-cities in Portland a few years ago and the police did nothing to move them or close them and people were told to stay away from these encampments where tons of illegal activity was happening everyday.
Don't kid yourself, there are already people in congress war gaming how we can send them aid to rebuild after the house cleaning (destruction), I guarantee you.
Yes Ma'am. I think they should return our money! My tax prep guy complimented me 3 years ago on how well I was taking care of myself since 2016 and after retirement. FJBiden sneaked in past the bank guard and grabbed my cash first, then headed for my investments. Next he stopped by another place or three and raised all the prices where I shop. And the horse he rode in on!! And his Mama. And his Daddy if he ever finds out who that was.
The Dems want it that way. People impoverished, and depending on government services are more easily controlled and sadly have a higher percentage of people voting "D".
Basically the same shit at MIT now. MIT. Has everybody lost their ever loving minds? We are importing the assassins who will kill Americans.
It’s insanity.
Can you imagine thousands of people rioting in the streets of America saying kill all the Christians or kill all the Blacks? This is just barbarism, and the “authorities” do essentially nothing. Object lesson in how things don’t change.
It’s just like in Chicago. No one cares if Black people kill Black people. No one cares if Arabs killed Arabs. How many Houthi’s were killed in Yemen I think it’s 400,000? How many Muslims were killed in Darfur and Somalia etc. etc. etc. but if one white guy shoots a black guy or one Jew kills a Palestinian, all hell breaks loose. MIT is not going to do anything about the Jew haters since they don’t want them deported.
More specifically, Leftists don't care if Black people kill other Black people. Because Leftists don't care about people. I care if Black people kill Black people in Chicago. You probably are against that too. Same thing for whenever one of the Left's other identity victim groups misbehave. Arabs and other Muslims who are a hot commodity right now on the Left, (until they cut everybody's heads off) can't do anything bad. It's not possible according to the victim-oppressor model of politics, and if they do something unpleasant, it's because you made them through colonialism or whiteness or eating falafel or some other micro-aggression.
But Black on Black violence doesn't suit the misery Socialist narrative, so they studiously ignore it, because they want the Black vote, which they get with fake promises of economic benefits, and fake gestures of solidarity with the worst people in the Black Community. Wouldn't it be nice if Democrats celebrated successful, happy Black people in traditional families instead of dipshits like Louis Farrakhan or Al Sharpton? You''ll never see that. It does nothing for their grievance based political con game.
No coincidences in life. Disgraceful behavior in NYC. You would think our Jewish friends and family would have learned from history. 85 years ago they were proud Germans first and Jews second. Today they are proud progressives first and Jews second, sadly history is repeating itself.
To be accurate, a dedicated Commie, like a dedicated Nazi, is motivated by political ideology, not by religious affiliation. Which is why it’s absurd to criticize George Soros for the fact that he was born into a Jewish family or to be offended by comments about Soros’ religion if you are a Jew. Soros is a Commie, who doesn’t identify as a Jew. Liberal Jews, who are not Commies btw, are the ones who are shocked right now. These are the people who are otherwise intelligent, but have half baked ideas about reality and go along to get along. They are useful idiots. Those of us on the right side of things are not. The hard left is the minority, but they are the most vocal and have in the past 20 years gained a lot of traction politically because they further the NWO agenda. Many liberal Jews will now abandon their fashionable flirtation with the Left. Some won’t and like any other idiot, that’s their problem. In America we should all be Americans first. In the past that was never even a question.
Yes, just like people whose heritage is Irish or French or whatever, we all gave a soft spot for the old country, the homeland of our ancestry. However when the powers that be engage in identity politics and Commie racist demographics, then as a matter of survival now demographics can’t be ignored. Jews can’t afford to be stupid. We are held to a different standard. Your comment reflects that. Nobody asks why Christians vote for Democrats- who hate Christians btw. The solution is to get rid of DEI, to reduce identity Marxist ideology to a fringe nutcase ideology once again. That has to happen by firing a lot of professors and media people and by teaching America’s traditional values. This is happening because decent people don’t stand up against tyrants. It’s gonna get to everybody soon enough. They aren’t going to stop with Jews. If you are of white European ancestry or Asian in many cases, and not a Commie, you have a problem too.
#26 - The Army only saw Green. The Navy only saw Blue (or shipboard grey). And everyone who bled, bled red. The US services, all of them have missed their recruiting goals the last few years. Now they are pulling a Bud Light and trying to redeem all the DEI/LBGQWTF+ bull*.
The rebuilding of the military after Viet Nam was one of the biggest undertakings in our history, because it involved fundamental changes in doctrine, training, and equipment. It produced the best and most highly trained and effective military ever seen on this earth. I witnessed it and was a part of it. Now I look at what is going on and see all that improvement being discarded for the sake of some mythical cultural doctrine no one can functionally explain. I suspect the same nitwit PR gal who single handedly ruined the Bud Lite brand is now advising the DoD.
Oh yes, the Navy has a DRAG QUEEN as a recruitment whatever. Pissed me right off. This after all the militarys' had a pause to clean house of all the white supremacists, racists and all, ie conservatives. I served in the Navy about when your are talking about. My nephew will be graduating in a yr or two and wanted to go Air Force. Now he is not according to his dad. Serving used to be a great way to get some discipline and get money for an education. Now the Army is playing their version of the Clydesdale commercial hoping to lure all the sons/daughters of all the people they trashed, kicked out back into service.
The Army removed all the cartoons ect they used last year or the last 2 yrs from their website. MMMMMmmmmm makes you wonder why. There was an article that juxtaposed the Army woke vs the Chinese recruitment ads of the same time. The Chinese ones looked like ours from 30 yrs ago.
I knew the military had changed since my Army career but it really hit home when they decided that they would rather kick someone out, regardless of rank, time served or anything else, to uphold the scam that was the covid vaccine. There were as many experts screaming that it was dangerous and flawed as there were experts claiming it was perfectly safe and effective, yet the latter was promoted service wide and the former was silenced and disregarded. You know what that told everyone in uniform? It said your career and dedication means nothing to us! I was so furious my wife threatened to lock me in a closet till I calmed down so I wouldn't have a stroke or something. The leadership at the top of the military saluted and went along with this charade because they were more worried about their careers than the people serving in the ranks. That is something I have never seen in my lifetime except in the USSR when they were still together. How many retiree's and others who served saw the same thing and are now turning their kids and grandchildren away from a military career or service? There needs to be a housecleaning in the Pentagon and every HQ where these so-called leaders are. Biden, Austin, Milley, Jake Sullivan, and many more who pushed this scam should be fired, demoted and kicked out of the service if still there. That was the worst insult ever done to the members of our armed services and I for one will never forgive them for it. America deserves and has far better leadership than those now in power. Thank God my dad, a Pearl Harbor survivor was not alive to see it. It would have killed him before his time.
I agree they need to be in jail. This started a decade or more ago. And Silly Milley just retired at a hefty retirement package. And yes, I miss my Grandpa immensely but I am glad he didnt see it. He served in Okinawa for his WWII tour. As you say, it would have killed him too. Our whole family comes from a long line of military service, and no, I would not want my nephew to serve right now in this time.
Rachel Levine is head of US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. Not sure how the equates to getting an Admiral-ship. But he served as Penn Health Advisor for Covid, sent all the covid patients to nursing homes but removed his mom first......
Doggone it! I hate those creeps so bad, I'm gonna have to stay after church tomorrow and I had other plans! They're gonna give me such a write-off, 100 times. "I must not hate enemies of the State because it isn't nice."
Ah yes, But let's not forget the colors of our nation's flag, the real unifier of us. Hearts and prayers to veterans and a deep sense of thanks to those who've made the ultimate sacrifice for the liberties and truths that the fools among us are being squandered today. FJB and Barry Soetoro
ITEM 25: Vox reported, “The problem isn’t inflation. It’s prices.”
“I somehow feel better at 70 knowing that soon I will be passing the world on to the stupidest morons to ever roam the Earth. I won’t be walking into the light; I will be running.”
Item 7: “ [Hillary also said] she saw people who would “get legitimately elected” and then would try “to do away with elections and do away with opposition.”
Now, who would ever do that…Biden, Zelensky, Hamas, care to comment?
"And do away with Their opposition"? We've reached that point, haven't we? POTUS Trump under insane prosecution and insane judicial characters, Jan6th political prisoners receiving immoral sentences, meme writer Doug Mackey jailed years after taking swipes at our Hillary? Remember when Dinesh D'Souza got the Obama treatment for a crime everyone went unpunished for? You've arrived at that destination Suzie. FJB, Barry Soetoro and our girl Hillary
who would have thought that good cops looking for work in tennessee would be beat down for also being good human beings...by their own police department. thought that was for kalifornia. excellent post.
indeed. not many cities in america are conservative anymore. up north here in michigan there a few but they're small in comparison. my town of around 13k 50 miles north of ann arbor is wealthy, affluent and liberal. respects.
Being a liberal is a delusional luxury position which coincides with being insulated from the consequences of one’s beliefs. Right now reality is going the wrong way on a one way street with the pedal to the metal and a lunatic behind the wheel.
It’s nice to be nice. It’s a good feeling to be altruistic. But I’ve found that not infrequently kindness and charity are repaid with treachery.
And that’s where we are in the war and peace cycle. Stay frosty.
I have dreamed of owning a Vespa motor scooter since I was 14. They are about $8000 now a day. I should have bought one of those before I bought my first house 50 years ago.
My prayer is that they are doing this while working out the budget and other stuff. Maybe as a compromise or to build credibility with the different fractions. But it is a slim hope as Suzie says. - the level of fury rises as they blow off the voters wishes.
Let's give credit where credit's due. At least the Republicans are consistent at pissing off their constituents. (And the likes of Mitch McConnell keep getting elected)
The fact that we have NO CLUE as to what they actually ARE DOING is what pisses me off. We’re just supposed to be sitting here with our fingers crossed - again - hoping we don’t get screwed again for the gazillionth time.
I'd give new Speaker Mike Johnson some time. It's been only 3 weeks-ish. He's an attorney, and they tend to think things through and get their ducks in a row before acting. He was brilliant as Trump's defense attorney in the impeachment. By nature, I don't think he will rush into these big things (like J6 prisoners, release of the J6 tapes, border, even Trump's persecution by lawfare, etc.). For now, I expect that when he does move on these, he will move thoroughly and very effectively.
I'm not sure how much he can do unilaterally. I'd bet there's some massive horsetrading going on behind the scenes right now on the budget bills, hopefully clearing out some of the crap in those bills and cementing sufficient consensus to get them passed.
While all you are saying may very well be true, it’s all the behind back door crap that’s created the dysfunctional government we have today.
We need TRANSPARENCY. We need someone OUT THERE exposing to the people just how awful and outrageous the spending has become in every facet of the government and how that’s crippling the economy.
Republicans never do that. They need a GODZILLA like PR firm to make the case to the people because they so suck at messaging at all.
Also, there are SO, SO, SO, many urgent things to do, he has to be careful about 'scattering his fire and not hitting the mark'. I would be concerned if he went wild rushing into alot of heavy stuff. Remember, there is a sword hanging over the House of Representatives-- the Dems voted IN UNANIMOUS LOCKSTEP to elect hardcore Marxist Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker, and they have 212 votes in the House.
Also, the Democrats are in the midst of a very public splintering of their party over Hamas-- and if Johnson did a bunch of dramatic, controversial stuff, they would be thrilled to re-focus the media on that and gloss over their own disturbing intra-party bloodbath.
We need a sense of urgency and some spin because the Dems constantly are on the offensive. When the narrative is working for them, they try to implement more garbage. One of the benefits of attacking them, even if you don’t get everything you want is that you put them on the defensive and change the polls. But Republicans never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Most of these GOP guys are better suited to working in a corporate office than slugging it out politically.
Maybe so but if his timetable is similar to McCarthy's, he's already sunk. The GOP has got to get off defense and go on offense if it wants to score points. Right now, they don't know how to do this.
Agreed. The wall is such a minor funding issue compared to all the other pressing issues it could be completed and properly manned in months if we would just do it. Yet, the GOP seems to be frozen when the subject is brought up. Why?
They were once a good organization but now they have been reduced to one purpose: cheap labor, and they don't give a rip where it comes from or who comes into the country under the wire with them. The fact that Americans increasingly have turned their kids away from manual labor jobs hasn't helped this country either.
There is certainly a strong argument to be made there. No one wants to be there when the bill finally comes due for all this corrupt spending. I would venture to say that virtually none of the money congress spends on these "great funding bills" or all this "great foreign aid" ever does a darn bit of good. How can they demand accountability from crooks like Hunter Biden or Joe for that matter when they can't even do so as a matter of practice on House funding bills? How is it possible to be the keeper of the people's money and not have any idea where most of it is going?
Roll, on 3! The Green Mile was shot mostly in Tennessee. My boss was one of the advisors for that movie. My son thought I would like The Shawshank Redemption. I didn't.
I checked the terrorist because nothin bad seems to come her way for her outlandish behavior or speech. She knows she has nothing to fear as she will be overwhelmingly re elected as long as she runs because of Bath House Barry and friends packed wanna be terrorists into one district. Same with Minnesota 5th- Omar’s district.
We now can see the nose of the camel under our tent and the rest of the head is on its way.
I love that he is using the sterile RNC platform to slam the players (Dems, RINOs, and the media) smack-dab between the eyes with their own policies.
Vivek is the surrogate Trump at the debates. He represents Trump policy positions and is as outspoken and boisterous as Trump would be. He is really working hard for a VP slot.
Let's be careful with that guy. I always get nervous when guys like him show up and seem to have all the answers people want to hear. He may be the real deal, maybe not. Remember when Obama showed up and seemed to make everyone believe he was the second coming? There are too many people in politics who are very good a being very stealthy about their real p[ositions.
Yes, seeing someone else besides Trump get the brunt of the Marxist scorn makes you realize just how completely all-in the media are for the left. I'm going to keep an eye on Vivek and see what happens down the road. I think he is angling for a Department head appointment. He's a bright guy but I'm not ready to say he should be in the WH or Old Executive Office building quite yet.
To all of our veterans here, and all those unknown to us, who have signed that blank check: Thank you for you service, and Blessed Be.
My Dad was a combat veteran out of the Korean conflict. Reached the rank of Master Sargent very quickly. I understand that he was involved in training recruits as well. He lost his squad to enemy action on a May 20; I am unsure what year, as that was a subject we didn't discuss. PTSD and survivor's guilt drove him into a bottle. Growing up with him was an adventure in uncertainties...
He found sobriety in 1977.
My Mother welcomed him back into her arms much later, after being divorced for many years. It was like watching the high school kids they were, when they first fell in love.
He passed suddenly on March 21, 2000. His heart finally had enough.
At the time of his passing, he was the most balanced man I had ever met, having worked through his traumas, and helping other men and women like him get sober and deal with their traumas; and, he was back in the life and arms of his high school Sweetheart.
The best part, for me anyway, was being in Recovery with him for the last nine and a half years of his life. We had a wonderful Father/Son relationship, even if was a little late in coming.
If you or a family member have served, I am truly grateful for your service.
If you are struggling with PTSD/substance abuse, there is help, and a way forward that doesn't involve taking your own life. Please don't give up!
In fond remembrance of Richard, attached to the 187th Airborne, gone too soon.
Item 16: “Anti-Israel representative Rashida Tlaib is connected to at least ‘six terror-linked activists who all served as cohosts for fundraisers for her 2018 congressional campaign,’ according to a report from a watchdog group.”
Known terror-linked activists? How is this allowed in American politics? It should be illegal. If this were reversed and it was Trump, the RNC would impose sanctions and the media would be non-stop chatter about Trump's nefarious ties.
As we all wonder how things got so bad in our country, we can see the invasion of muslims trying to destroy our government from the inside out - and taking great liberties in promoting their positions that are rarely confronted.
My bet: The crash comes first. Then, the riots. We’ll be really weakened so the riots (i.e. looting) can cause maximum damage. The crash will immobilize most of us worse than the COVID shutdown. That's why our fellow commenter, Chuck Goldman, constantly reminds us to load up on ammo.

#28 - Guess The New Republic & The Rolling Stones should hire an Hamas-APP photographer to go into the J6 zone and sneak a pic of that Christian Nationalist flag outside the new Speakers office. While on the subject, isn’t new super-MAGA Mike Speaker now in charge of the 8,000 strong murderous Capital PoPo force? Has he dealt justice to the perpetrators Pelosi used to imprison citizens W/O a hearing? The J6 gulag political prisoners? WhatsUp there Mr Super rule of Law Mister Speaker? Instead of bombarding me with deleted-account WinRed $$$ asks……DO YOUR DAMN JOB and ENFORCE the Constitution!
Freeing the J6 political prisoners and dealing with the corrupt police, politicians, prosecutors and judges should be #1 priority. This should never happen in this country
Actually Capitol Police are overseen by the House of Representatives, via specific committees.
“ These committees are categorized into two oversight groups with varying authorities: appropriations committees and authorizing committees.
The oversight provided by these four committees affords the Department the support and opportunity to continually ensure that the USCP meets the safety and security needs of the Congress, the staff, and the many visitors who come to the United States Capitol each day.”
So, technically, yes, Pelosi as Speaker most definitely had authority over the USCP as leader of the House at the time, as now does Johnson.
Bottom line is: as Keepers of the Purse of the entire Federal government the House has technical Authority over every agency, bureau, branch and Department, as they determine whether they get funded or not.
It is a reality that seems to escape Republicans consciousness.

It would be nice if we would halt all further aid to Ukraine until the Open the Books and we get an audit of where all the cash went. In fact, that should be part of all foreign aid. I'm not the president so I can't be impeached for suggesting that.
No, but the FBI may send a line of tanks to your doorstep to ask you a few questions.
Not tanks, Strykers and bearcats.
At the same time that they were AWOL when the White House itself was under physical siege by Palestinian-Hamas terrorists.
It would be nice if we would halt all further aid to Ukraine. <Full Stop>

Not opening the books for a cash audit would be a clear justification to such a halt. [We I agree is overdue.]
It would be nice if the auditor got access to all the secret bank accounts around the world where most of the money is hidden. LOL HA HA HA

I’m sure you’re right. The only question is who gets the ten percent. Same goes for Ukraine. Just imagine the billions. More like trillions.
Yes, the reason there is so much money in politics is because there is so much money in the federal government.
And it’s all OUR money!
We should start a “Defund the Federal Government” movement., a la’

Agree 100%. Makes you wonder how such a simple, commonsense thing never gets any air time in the House, eh?

The rebuilding of the military after Viet Nam was one of the biggest undertakings in our history, because it involved fundamental changes in doctrine, training, and equipment. It produced the best and most highly trained and effective military ever seen on this earth. I witnessed it and was a part of it. Now I look at what is going on and see all that improvement being discarded for the sake of some mythical cultural doctrine no one can functionally explain. I suspect the same nitwit PR gal who single handedly ruined the Bud Lite brand is now advising the DoD.
Oh yes, the Navy has a DRAG QUEEN as a recruitment whatever. Pissed me right off. This after all the militarys' had a pause to clean house of all the white supremacists, racists and all, ie conservatives. I served in the Navy about when your are talking about. My nephew will be graduating in a yr or two and wanted to go Air Force. Now he is not according to his dad. Serving used to be a great way to get some discipline and get money for an education. Now the Army is playing their version of the Clydesdale commercial hoping to lure all the sons/daughters of all the people they trashed, kicked out back into service.

The Army removed all the cartoons ect they used last year or the last 2 yrs from their website. MMMMMmmmmm makes you wonder why. There was an article that juxtaposed the Army woke vs the Chinese recruitment ads of the same time. The Chinese ones looked like ours from 30 yrs ago.
I knew the military had changed since my Army career but it really hit home when they decided that they would rather kick someone out, regardless of rank, time served or anything else, to uphold the scam that was the covid vaccine. There were as many experts screaming that it was dangerous and flawed as there were experts claiming it was perfectly safe and effective, yet the latter was promoted service wide and the former was silenced and disregarded. You know what that told everyone in uniform? It said your career and dedication means nothing to us! I was so furious my wife threatened to lock me in a closet till I calmed down so I wouldn't have a stroke or something. The leadership at the top of the military saluted and went along with this charade because they were more worried about their careers than the people serving in the ranks. That is something I have never seen in my lifetime except in the USSR when they were still together. How many retiree's and others who served saw the same thing and are now turning their kids and grandchildren away from a military career or service? There needs to be a housecleaning in the Pentagon and every HQ where these so-called leaders are. Biden, Austin, Milley, Jake Sullivan, and many more who pushed this scam should be fired, demoted and kicked out of the service if still there. That was the worst insult ever done to the members of our armed services and I for one will never forgive them for it. America deserves and has far better leadership than those now in power. Thank God my dad, a Pearl Harbor survivor was not alive to see it. It would have killed him before his time.
I agree they need to be in jail. This started a decade or more ago. And Silly Milley just retired at a hefty retirement package. And yes, I miss my Grandpa immensely but I am glad he didnt see it. He served in Okinawa for his WWII tour. As you say, it would have killed him too. Our whole family comes from a long line of military service, and no, I would not want my nephew to serve right now in this time.
Is that Admiral Rachel What's His Name?
Nope it was Silly Milly and crew.
Rachel Levine is head of US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. Not sure how the equates to getting an Admiral-ship. But he served as Penn Health Advisor for Covid, sent all the covid patients to nursing homes but removed his mom first......
Doggone it! I hate those creeps so bad, I'm gonna have to stay after church tomorrow and I had other plans! They're gonna give me such a write-off, 100 times. "I must not hate enemies of the State because it isn't nice."
Mine was longer..... I must not hurt those who knew better and foisted the virus on those who were the least likely to fight it off.
Ah yes, But let's not forget the colors of our nation's flag, the real unifier of us. Hearts and prayers to veterans and a deep sense of thanks to those who've made the ultimate sacrifice for the liberties and truths that the fools among us are being squandered today. FJB and Barry Soetoro
Amen.
ITEM 25: Vox reported, “The problem isn’t inflation. It’s prices.”
“I somehow feel better at 70 knowing that soon I will be passing the world on to the stupidest morons to ever roam the Earth. I won’t be walking into the light; I will be running.”
Mind-blowing, and they’re everywhere!!!
Yep! I'll be trying to beat all you folks in case there's only standing room only available. LOL
FJB and Barry Soetoro
Well, Vox got us all to click on the article and that is really all that matters in journalism today.
Yes. And they BREED!
Item 7: “ [Hillary also said] she saw people who would “get legitimately elected” and then would try “to do away with elections and do away with opposition.”
Now, who would ever do that…Biden, Zelensky, Hamas, care to comment?
Oh, wait!
She said, “legitimately elected”, so those guys may proceed to do away with elections and their opposition.
Very astute. How they got into power is how they will stay in power.
"And do away with Their opposition"? We've reached that point, haven't we? POTUS Trump under insane prosecution and insane judicial characters, Jan6th political prisoners receiving immoral sentences, meme writer Doug Mackey jailed years after taking swipes at our Hillary? Remember when Dinesh D'Souza got the Obama treatment for a crime everyone went unpunished for? You've arrived at that destination Suzie. FJB, Barry Soetoro and our girl Hillary
…and never forget Biden’s Red Speech in Philadelphia demonizing MAGA as enemies of the government.
Oh, I haven't Suzie it was quite a Nazi recreation to frighten us all Didn't work on me only angered the hell out of me
The monster Hilary.
Hillary is usually the first drunken bag lady on the bus that wants to do away with the Electoral College.
Amen.
Item 19 Alternative Headline: Nashville Police Announce Leaked Manifesto is Authentic.
Because they wouldn't put them on leave unless it was...
who would have thought that good cops looking for work in tennessee would be beat down for also being good human beings...by their own police department. thought that was for kalifornia. excellent post.
I'm afraid I'm seeing it as a national trend, with a few exceptional exceptions. FJB and Barry Soetoro
Nashville isn’t that conservative in the city proper.
indeed. not many cities in america are conservative anymore. up north here in michigan there a few but they're small in comparison. my town of around 13k 50 miles north of ann arbor is wealthy, affluent and liberal. respects.
Being a liberal is a delusional luxury position which coincides with being insulated from the consequences of one’s beliefs. Right now reality is going the wrong way on a one way street with the pedal to the metal and a lunatic behind the wheel.
It’s nice to be nice. It’s a good feeling to be altruistic. But I’ve found that not infrequently kindness and charity are repaid with treachery.
And that’s where we are in the war and peace cycle. Stay frosty.

And electric bikes. I’m 81. Love mine
I have a scooter-a word of caution-if/when you require one, get a 4-not 3-wheeler.
I have dreamed of owning a Vespa motor scooter since I was 14. They are about $8000 now a day. I should have bought one of those before I bought my first house 50 years ago.
Bet that dream started here-

After all this time you’d think they would have fixed that little editing flaw for us. Very frustrating.

Item 24 “There will be plenty of time later for trivial stuff like balancing the budget, reining in the deep state and releasing the J6 tapes.”
I’d add BUILD THE DAMN WALL! But that’s just me.
My prayer is that they are doing this while working out the budget and other stuff. Maybe as a compromise or to build credibility with the different fractions. But it is a slim hope as Suzie says. - the level of fury rises as they blow off the voters wishes.
Let's give credit where credit's due. At least the Republicans are consistent at pissing off their constituents. (And the likes of Mitch McConnell keep getting elected)
The fact that we have NO CLUE as to what they actually ARE DOING is what pisses me off. We’re just supposed to be sitting here with our fingers crossed - again - hoping we don’t get screwed again for the gazillionth time.
You are a much better person than I - much more generous, too.
The level of fury those people - REPUBLICANS- raise in me is off the charts.
How 'bout releasing all the J6 video, as promised...again? Never, ever trust a Republican.
I'd give new Speaker Mike Johnson some time. It's been only 3 weeks-ish. He's an attorney, and they tend to think things through and get their ducks in a row before acting. He was brilliant as Trump's defense attorney in the impeachment. By nature, I don't think he will rush into these big things (like J6 prisoners, release of the J6 tapes, border, even Trump's persecution by lawfare, etc.). For now, I expect that when he does move on these, he will move thoroughly and very effectively.
Three weeks is plenty of time if it really was a priority.
I'm not sure how much he can do unilaterally. I'd bet there's some massive horsetrading going on behind the scenes right now on the budget bills, hopefully clearing out some of the crap in those bills and cementing sufficient consensus to get them passed.
While all you are saying may very well be true, it’s all the behind back door crap that’s created the dysfunctional government we have today.
We need TRANSPARENCY. We need someone OUT THERE exposing to the people just how awful and outrageous the spending has become in every facet of the government and how that’s crippling the economy.
Republicans never do that. They need a GODZILLA like PR firm to make the case to the people because they so suck at messaging at all.
Also, there are SO, SO, SO, many urgent things to do, he has to be careful about 'scattering his fire and not hitting the mark'. I would be concerned if he went wild rushing into alot of heavy stuff. Remember, there is a sword hanging over the House of Representatives-- the Dems voted IN UNANIMOUS LOCKSTEP to elect hardcore Marxist Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker, and they have 212 votes in the House.
Also, the Democrats are in the midst of a very public splintering of their party over Hamas-- and if Johnson did a bunch of dramatic, controversial stuff, they would be thrilled to re-focus the media on that and gloss over their own disturbing intra-party bloodbath.
We need a sense of urgency and some spin because the Dems constantly are on the offensive. When the narrative is working for them, they try to implement more garbage. One of the benefits of attacking them, even if you don’t get everything you want is that you put them on the defensive and change the polls. But Republicans never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Most of these GOP guys are better suited to working in a corporate office than slugging it out politically.
Maybe so but if his timetable is similar to McCarthy's, he's already sunk. The GOP has got to get off defense and go on offense if it wants to score points. Right now, they don't know how to do this.
He may be one of the few people in Congress with a law degree that actually practiced law.
Agreed. The wall is such a minor funding issue compared to all the other pressing issues it could be completed and properly manned in months if we would just do it. Yet, the GOP seems to be frozen when the subject is brought up. Why?
Campaign $$$$$ from The United State Chamber of Commerce, the largest lobbying group in the country, who loves them some illegal immigrants.
They were once a good organization but now they have been reduced to one purpose: cheap labor, and they don't give a rip where it comes from or who comes into the country under the wire with them. The fact that Americans increasingly have turned their kids away from manual labor jobs hasn't helped this country either.
Because the Republicans in congress are terminally allergic to being the majority party and having to be accountable.
There is certainly a strong argument to be made there. No one wants to be there when the bill finally comes due for all this corrupt spending. I would venture to say that virtually none of the money congress spends on these "great funding bills" or all this "great foreign aid" ever does a darn bit of good. How can they demand accountability from crooks like Hunter Biden or Joe for that matter when they can't even do so as a matter of practice on House funding bills? How is it possible to be the keeper of the people's money and not have any idea where most of it is going?
Anybody for an electric wall?
You mean like the one around Brushy Mountain State Prison in Petros, Tennessee? I'm all for it.
Ah, the aroma of sizzling flesh.
Roll, on 3! The Green Mile was shot mostly in Tennessee. My boss was one of the advisors for that movie. My son thought I would like The Shawshank Redemption. I didn't.
And a new one for that list: Begin massive deportations of those millions who are here, especially those who arrived in the last 3 years.
I checked the terrorist because nothin bad seems to come her way for her outlandish behavior or speech. She knows she has nothing to fear as she will be overwhelmingly re elected as long as she runs because of Bath House Barry and friends packed wanna be terrorists into one district. Same with Minnesota 5th- Omar’s district.
We now can see the nose of the camel under our tent and the rest of the head is on its way.
I had a better week because Vivek had a great week. Good for him!
I love that he is using the sterile RNC platform to slam the players (Dems, RINOs, and the media) smack-dab between the eyes with their own policies.
Vivek is the surrogate Trump at the debates. He represents Trump policy positions and is as outspoken and boisterous as Trump would be. He is really working hard for a VP slot.
Let's be careful with that guy. I always get nervous when guys like him show up and seem to have all the answers people want to hear. He may be the real deal, maybe not. Remember when Obama showed up and seemed to make everyone believe he was the second coming? There are too many people in politics who are very good a being very stealthy about their real p[ositions.
Good point, thank you. I still love the commotion he is causing regardless of his motive. It is like having Trump at the debates - sort of.
Yes, seeing someone else besides Trump get the brunt of the Marxist scorn makes you realize just how completely all-in the media are for the left. I'm going to keep an eye on Vivek and see what happens down the road. I think he is angling for a Department head appointment. He's a bright guy but I'm not ready to say he should be in the WH or Old Executive Office building quite yet.
Yes. He needs a ton more experience. We need more of his energy and spirit in the party.
He's very good at the talking part. The GOP hasn't plenty of those though. Wonder how well he is at the doing part?
Just another voice on a soap box.
Feel exactly the same way.
Something’s very fishy there.
If it looks like, and smells like....
All hat and no cattle.
item 30 - Don, the real number is 4 of 5. Just 3 of them are smart enough to shut up about it.
Precisely.
Good morning, all.
To all of our veterans here, and all those unknown to us, who have signed that blank check: Thank you for you service, and Blessed Be.
My Dad was a combat veteran out of the Korean conflict. Reached the rank of Master Sargent very quickly. I understand that he was involved in training recruits as well. He lost his squad to enemy action on a May 20; I am unsure what year, as that was a subject we didn't discuss. PTSD and survivor's guilt drove him into a bottle. Growing up with him was an adventure in uncertainties...
He found sobriety in 1977.
My Mother welcomed him back into her arms much later, after being divorced for many years. It was like watching the high school kids they were, when they first fell in love.
He passed suddenly on March 21, 2000. His heart finally had enough.
At the time of his passing, he was the most balanced man I had ever met, having worked through his traumas, and helping other men and women like him get sober and deal with their traumas; and, he was back in the life and arms of his high school Sweetheart.
The best part, for me anyway, was being in Recovery with him for the last nine and a half years of his life. We had a wonderful Father/Son relationship, even if was a little late in coming.
If you or a family member have served, I am truly grateful for your service.
If you are struggling with PTSD/substance abuse, there is help, and a way forward that doesn't involve taking your own life. Please don't give up!
In fond remembrance of Richard, attached to the 187th Airborne, gone too soon.
Thank you for sharing this, Kv.
Item 16: “Anti-Israel representative Rashida Tlaib is connected to at least ‘six terror-linked activists who all served as cohosts for fundraisers for her 2018 congressional campaign,’ according to a report from a watchdog group.”
Known terror-linked activists? How is this allowed in American politics? It should be illegal. If this were reversed and it was Trump, the RNC would impose sanctions and the media would be non-stop chatter about Trump's nefarious ties.
As we all wonder how things got so bad in our country, we can see the invasion of muslims trying to destroy our government from the inside out - and taking great liberties in promoting their positions that are rarely confronted.
It’s not even just Muslims; they’re just the “flavor of the day”.
Every enemy country of the entire Western world is IN THIS COUNTRY right now because we have NO BORDER.
This country is a ticking time bomb which could go off at any minute! The only question is will the crash of the economy come first.
Buckle up.
My bet: The crash comes first. Then, the riots. We’ll be really weakened so the riots (i.e. looting) can cause maximum damage. The crash will immobilize most of us worse than the COVID shutdown. That's why our fellow commenter, Chuck Goldman, constantly reminds us to load up on ammo.
#28 - Guess The New Republic & The Rolling Stones should hire an Hamas-APP photographer to go into the J6 zone and sneak a pic of that Christian Nationalist flag outside the new Speakers office. While on the subject, isn’t new super-MAGA Mike Speaker now in charge of the 8,000 strong murderous Capital PoPo force? Has he dealt justice to the perpetrators Pelosi used to imprison citizens W/O a hearing? The J6 gulag political prisoners? WhatsUp there Mr Super rule of Law Mister Speaker? Instead of bombarding me with deleted-account WinRed $$$ asks……DO YOUR DAMN JOB and ENFORCE the Constitution!
Freeing the J6 political prisoners and dealing with the corrupt police, politicians, prosecutors and judges should be #1 priority. This should never happen in this country
Exactly! Never, ever trust a Republican.
Pelosi was only nominally in charge of the Capitol Police because its chief deferred to her.
Actually Capitol Police are overseen by the House of Representatives, via specific committees.
“ These committees are categorized into two oversight groups with varying authorities: appropriations committees and authorizing committees.
The oversight provided by these four committees affords the Department the support and opportunity to continually ensure that the USCP meets the safety and security needs of the Congress, the staff, and the many visitors who come to the United States Capitol each day.”
So, technically, yes, Pelosi as Speaker most definitely had authority over the USCP as leader of the House at the time, as now does Johnson.
Bottom line is: as Keepers of the Purse of the entire Federal government the House has technical Authority over every agency, bureau, branch and Department, as they determine whether they get funded or not.
It is a reality that seems to escape Republicans consciousness.
