Gene Hackman was sooo good. I read recently that Gene turned down the role (Little Bill) initially because he thought it was too violent. Clint talked him into it and after filmed Gene said it was one of the best directed(By Clint) films he had ever worked on. He won an Academy Award for best supporting actor. It is violent.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly is the best Western film ever made. By far.

Expand full comment

Almost opera-like in its scope. A terrific film such as TGTB&TU bears repeated viewings; can’t count the times I’ve seen it & it never gets old or dated. It’s so well crafted. Sad to say anymore the industry lacks filmmakers of Sergio Leone’s/Sam Peckinpah’s/Don Siegel’s/Walter Hill’s (et al) caliber.

All these pusillanimous Republicans taking the "high" road letting bygones be bygones I guess do not know how cyclical politics is. Incredibly stupid because when Dems get back in power these pussies will be the first ones thrown in jail.

Yeah, I know. Have some patience. Yadda yadda yadda. Maybe after Pam Bondi takes a break from getting all gussied up to go on FOX every night boasting about how tough she is maybe she will actually do something. But I ain't holding my breath for more than two seconds.

Let her take her time and do it right. These same law firms will take advantage of every little crack in the cases. Look for some grand juries before the midterms. Trumps got the Dems on their heels and the start of prosecutions will keep them there for a long time.

Expand full comment

I don’t think so Jake. If there is actual evidence they broke a law then okay. But if not this will look like Trump is going after his enemies with no grounds to do so. The left will campaign on it and get the House back in two years. Is it right? Who knows where politics ends and criminal activity begins. I would much rather see Trump and Bondi go after the crooks in the federal government first. Sam Power should be the first. She wont go down without taking a bunch of others with her. Thats how you get real transparency in government. The left is a house of cards that can be destroyed easily by going after a link or two.

OK, the jury is still out on Bondi but I think it is too early to judge.

She talks big but so did Kash Patel (Government Gangsters) and we haven't seen anything earth shattering or tangible from him yet either. They both need to perform biggly and they know it. We are their peer pressure and I believe they can feel it in DC.

Bondi was confirmed Feb 4, Patel on Feb 20. Bondi has had 5 weeks on the job.

If law was as easy as signing an Executive Order instead of building, arguing, and winning a case, she'd be a homerun hero.

Winning many of these deep state retribution cases is more akin to brain surgery. And, we need our own version of Perkins Coie.

Can anyone even possibly imagine the length, depth and breadth of documents and evidence that must be poured through in or der to build iron clad cases against a plethora of the criminals and criminal acts which have been perpetrated against this country in just the last four years, and then throw in the last 12!? It is a Herculean task and in order to be done well and not blow up in our faces will take considerable time, and an army of lawyers and investigators.

And that is to say nothing of the job of still needing to root out the subversives still lurking in the shadows of both the FBI and the DOJ. These are tasks of monumental importance and must be executed with above and beyond skill and wisdom.

Are Bondi and Patel up to the task? Only time will tell. But in the meantime, it is incumbent on We, the People, to be as supportive and Patient as humanly possible if this great effort at righting the US Ship of State is to be a success. We must pray much, and exercise faith and trust with the patience of the saints. “Thu Will,Oh Lord, be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”

"Can anyone even possibly imagine the length, depth and breadth of documents and evidence that must be poured through in or der to build iron clad cases against a plethora of the criminals and criminal acts which have been perpetrated against this country in just the last four years, . . . "

Yes, great point. If we take one of these and fail, the inertia to crumble the criminals will lose a lot of steam. Also, how much evidence was destroyed by them before inauguration, never to be found again? If they were devious enough to perpetrate lawfare against Trump, they are smart (and devious) enough to destroy evidence or create fake evidence that even defends them in some way.

This is why four years of Trump won't be enough to address the majority of criminality. We need two terms after Trump with equal commitment to prosecute.

We all need to back off and be patient. This will take time. What we all can do is put pressure on our reps in congress to get their act together and clean up their members. Start now. Collins, Murkowski and some others need to be primaried by real conservatives and the party needs to support them with $$$. Get McConnell out of there. But first, someone needs to tell Bondi that we have a WH spokesperson and to get back to her office and start working.

Political rhetoric and Exords are easy. Actual lawfare takes time to set the conditions for action. The lawyer Bondi and Patel are getting their ducks in a row. Patience. It will come.

The worm has turned. In fact it's spinning like a pinwheel.Trump's enemies are now targeted as enemies of America. They will pay, dearly. The Democrats who built a wall-to-wall slimy money skimming operation have their tails between their legs. They will be unemployed in short order, the skimming will end and their ranks will be whittled down to a fraction of what it has been. Hail to Trump, to Musk, and to the cadre of cabinet members whose job it now is to scrub the filth from America's government. Want to whittle down the national debt? Musk estimates that his army of auditors and snoops will save more than a trillion dollars. By God, there is sunrise in DC and will flush the Democratic party's entire underground pipeline to wealth down the sewer, and restore honesty (a word never before attached to the federal government. Open the prison doors wide, prepare for an abundance of new residents. Fight, fight, fight, as Trump said when his ear was almost torn off by a bullet. And fight to the finish.

I applaud your enthusiasm but the real story is the money laundering operation perpetrated thru USAID and the CIA.

Absolutely--this is huge and historical. And the MAGNITUDE of money going to push DEI--CFP reports today TRILLIONS during Biden's Admin to so far 460 programs across 24 Agencies.

There is supposed to be "separation of church and state". We already know Critical Race Theory/DEI/etc. is Marxism, but it also is a type of religion--actually, there was a Supreme Court case where this ideology / philosophy / belief system was acknowledged to be a defacto religion. (I don't recall the details of the court case, but it was written up in the body of a bill put forward in the West Virginia Legislature 2 years ago which was focused on getting rid of DEI.)

Essentially, the Marxists have been using American taxpayer money to heavily promote their religion/ideology through all these DEI/CRT programs. AND, they turned 90% of our university system into CRT/DEI indoctrination centers--"Leftist seminaries" as some have said. AND--AND!!!--they used American taxpayer money to PAY FOR students to attend these "seminaries"--through forgiving of student loans.

The Democratic party, and every piece of the government bureaucracy they controlled, has become purely a Marxist (which IS Communist) promotion machine.

The Left is a specialist in hard ball. No rules in its game. It make the rules as as the game is played to protect its democracy. And no one is above the law except members of the Trotskyist Left. Trump understands the game without reservation. The Left tried everything it had during his first term and the subsequent Trotskyist four years of diapered demented Joe.

47 and his team have clarity on the game.

The intent is clear. Challenge the Trotskyist cabal and the Pavlovian lap dog legacy media. MAGA. AMERICA FIRST.

Trump is playing long ball and he has the public on his side. Swearing Democrats and wasted tax money on transvestites isn’t going to win over any new converts but will probably disenfranchise many reasonable voters who have supported Dems in the past.

Hopefully more Republicans will see the long view instead of the next election cycle but that is just hope at this point.

The Roman jurisprudence concept of lex talianis is appropriate and Trump and his team will do a great service employing. As you point out, the "D's ", most of whom are anarchists, communists, or just plain old gangsters, have no compunction of destroying others with the "law", with the help of corrupt "judges". The coup de etat of Nixon was the most effective one, as we know now.

I pray that we can retain control of the House and Senate in the 2026 midterms. I know that historically the opposition party usually wins one or both. But these are unusual times and we MUST do all we can to prevent losing either. Sadly, the wishy washy independents are often the primary culprits.

It’s good that the low hanging fruit is plucked quickly, like the removal of the Perkins Coie SCIF along with the security clearances of the white shoe Brownshirts of the loyal Democrats digging up dirt, real or imagined, on the opposition of their employers. It’s going to take a thorough disassembly of the entire traitorous mass, along with punishments worthy of the corruption Elon and his Doge Boys are likely uncovering, to have a Republic saving impact.

Like any war, Trump's campaign for freedom includes many skirmishes ending in small wins and losses. All that matters in the end is that he prevails. Along the way, every win will weaken the enemy. Every loss will strengthen Trump's considerable resolve. Let us celebrate this injury inflicted on the Left's Big Law. It is a significant blow. Why? "Knowledge is Power," said Francis Bacon but in the political arena, Knowledge is weak without the company of Access. By reducing Big Law's access, Trump has reduced our enemy's power.
