#10 - the left came up with the phrase “being woke” and I believe that the first time I heard it, it dribbled off the lips of one Michelle 0bama. They sure don’t like it when their own idiocy is used against them.

Someone just plunged a $750,000 dagger into the heart of a Presidential hopeful. All the news that's fit to print? Democracy dies in darkness? Nah, the Daily Mail UK. But I believe the real question is: who authorized it? Any answers, Surbs? Giggle: crickets-DuckDuck: 45 articles, but no answer. I liked this one best:

Remember Soros or similar set up a speach/free rock concert in Berlin for Ozero during his first campaign. Allowed the MSM here to portray Ozero as immensely popular in Europe.

Derogatory? Hell yes-Racist? Only in the eyes of the woke, although that is a bit of an oxymoron.

Expand full comment

The prog-left invents terms of self-aggrandizement that are lathered in irony.

To be "woke" is to be narrowly informed of one's cultural legacy (when not actively rejecting it), while wearing blinders to reality, and compliant with the latest fads and momentary fashions invented by navel-gazers. In other words, slumbering (not awake) to the world around them.

So-called virtue-signaling is its exact opposite. It is a preening, display of vanity--a theatrical performance of narcissism, a trait possibly furthest from virtuous behavior. You might say a tautology of irony.

#29. If RFK Jr is not shot by the deep state like they did with his uncle and dad, then he will take so many votes from Biden, that the printing press for fake votes will be in overdrive, for this idiot, to win

Expand full comment

Maybe. Maybe not. RFK will take a significant number of moderates which means both parties will be adversely affected. He won't take any at the extremes of left or right. At best, it will be about equal and not give either party candidate an advantage.

Expand full comment

Possibly - but Biden has no base. There is no loyalty there. In spite of the degenerate thieves running the GOP and their pet RINOs , Trump has a massive base, which is getting bigger, not smaller. Kennedy is right on free speech and the vaccines, but the rest of his stuff is dumb and hard Left. I think the Dems have more to lose than Trump. At this point in time, being a “moderate” means you are for all intents and purposes, a Democrat. Because the majority of Republicans in Washington are effectively Democrats on the critical issues.

Expand full comment

Tanto. Mr. Magoo has no base. RFK Jr will grab 30% of the democratic vote. Like the Republicans who get stuck voting for imbeciles like McCain, Romney, and Bush, most Democrats want a choice that is more main stream. The DNC is trying to keep their power by nominating Geppetto‘s evil puppet. Even if they replace him with Newsom or Ms. Obama, they’ll split their own vote. In many ways, it explains why Biden is not giving him Secret Service protection. They’ve done the calculations also.

Theoretically, that's how it is supposed to work - but it seldom works that way in real life - John Anderson in 1980, Ralph Nader in 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008 did his damage in 2000 siphoning votes from Algore.

I still believe that had Perot not supended his campaign in response to thinly veiled death threats to him and his family from the HW Bush campaign, he would have been the first third-party candidate to win.

There's a first time for everything, though - and who knows? This could be it!

His mission is to siphon votes from Trump."

I disagree. I think he'll take more votes from Biden. Democrats are desperate to vote for someone else.

MAGA supporters are desperate to vote FOR TRUMP.

"Top Pollster Trashes ABC/WaPo for Publishing ‘Laughable’ Poll Showing Trump Up 10: ‘Will Be a Lingering Embarrassment for You’ "

Item #30 is the most interesting of the highlights. Rough justice isn't pretty but it's a consequence of what happens when the institutions of a society refuse to protect its members. I suspect we'll start seeing similar stories more frequently in this country.

When all civilized pushback against tyranny fails (stolen elections, corrupt judges, propaganda press), violence ultimately turns out to be a last-resort means of communication. They will not stop until they truly fear the people. A few bodies floating in the Potomac may help get the message across. We have learned one thing for sure...delivering fear works.

Yep, back when the FIB carried guns and ‘supposedly’ went after corrupt politicians….but upon reflection, was that all historical bull droppings? and they made examples of those that didn’t play along? Like Menendez now.

RICO is a completely perfect description - think of the Mafia with all spy tools and unlimited budget of the Federal government. The Italian Mafia must have been useful for things back in the day - they only got ‘spanked’ when they embarrassed Hoover, or the FIB needed raises.

This is along the lines of the Armed Forces funding from 9/11. Stupid Iraq got blamed for 9/11, Saudis not only got off free, the US taxpayer paid the Trillions for the 20 year ‘War’, not OPEC nations. Stupid Bushes didn’t even use the oil fields we ‘liberated’……. Now who spends proceeds from oilwells they gave away?

William, I respectfully disagree. If he indeed becomes an independent candidate, the votes will come from the Biden side. The people who are going to vote for Trump will still vote for him the DeSantis and never Trumper‘s will not go that direction.

So, Washington DC is going to the "Cashless Society" now. In my previously stated opinion, I have said that when there is no more cash, there is no more freedoms. This article also pointed out about the many bribes and payoffs it takes to run Washington DC and gold is quite heavy. How is the pure evil that Washington DC is even operate or that the "Homeless" going to operate when there is NO MORE cash??

Most interesting thing to me is Surber’s analysis of town political bicycle Biden getting wire transfers (with his home address listed on them 😂😂😂) from Beijing in 2019. I think he’s right. The Chinese knew about him / pushed for him being the one placed in the White House. Otherwise, why pay him off again? It was coordinated between the CCP and the U.S. Deep State. As was the release of COVID.

About # 7. What is the big deal here? As long as man has existed, he has defended his realm (abode or territory) from invaders. Texas is being invaded by weapon carrying thugs, cities and citizens are under siege. Carrying guns to protect yourself is the natural and prudent response to the federal government's "No Borders" policy. Without a border, there is no Texas. Without borders, there is no country.

Historical note" The EU did away with borders between its members. Then Merkle allowed millions of military age men into the EU without limitation or verification of who they were. Those so-called refugees spread throughout the EU to the great distress of every country. Only now are the EU members attempting to reclaim their sovereignty. Too late.
