“Live free or die. Death is not the greatest of evils.”
I lived behind the Iron Curtain for a few years in the early 80’s and have witnessed firsthand what the left has in store for us. It’s worse than you can imagine. Stark nailed it.
On a trip to Germany a number of years back a friend introduced a young couple who had lived for years in East Germany in Berlin before the wall came down. Their comments about life during those years were the stuff of my nightmares. It was chilling. If every liberal could experience those stories we would not be divided today.
The people under ~35 have no recollection of what communism is and the history of communism has been memory holed in our education system. Those under 35 don’t know what potentially may hit them. The rest of us do and are bracing ourselves.
half a dozen solzhenitsyn books talk about what you state and all nail home the point. the first circle and the gulag archipelago would be my picks. that said, putin's stand against woke is something that the west could and should emulate and use as a template.
I've read Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's "The Gulag Archipelago" - I found it to be hair-raising. I also read his novels, "A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich", "Cancer Ward", and "First Circle". And to think that Vasily Grossman, Mr. Solzhenitsyn, and others survived that horror of the gulag. Mr. Solzhenitsyn writes circles around Stephen King. As I get older, I agree with Playswithneedles' post: death is NOT the greatest of evils.
...and the Gen Z kids won't read it because TLDR: "Too long; didn't read." I think the majority of them can't read; besides, "Who wants to read some long, stuffy book written by some dead white guy?"
you're right i think. i'm 76 and of different cut for sure. i just finished the gulag for the third time in fifteen years. am now starting stephen ambrose's undaunted courage for the second time. david mccullough's the wright brothers is a good twofer also. never too old to learn knew stuff as they say.
I suggest you look up Vasily Grossman. He was a reporter who survived Stalin and wrote two incredible books: Life and Fate and Stalingrad. The only reason he survived is because Stalin died the day he was to be executed. He was a native of Stalingrad and was present at its destruction by the Germans. His description is the most incredible writing I think I’ve ever read.

Trump has figured out that all he has to do is stop at a Chick-fil-A, buy 30 milkshakes and some chicken, pose for pictures with the customers, and voila, the media spreads videos world-wide.. Global PR coverage, showing the idol of every day people, feeding and mingling with them.
In contrast, the media runs a snapshot of the current Oval Office asshole standing on the pavement, all by himself, licking a waffle cone, wondering where he is.
Tells you everything you need to know about the road to the White House in 2024.
Reddog, that's one of life's current mysteries. I guess when these idiots vote for a Democrat they think they're voting for more free stuff. It takes a little common sense to realize they're actually voting for tyranny.
Correct. There are too many people voting to get stuff from government today. It is never free either, like Joe Bidens student loan forgiveness that is really just an added debt to the rest of us. We have allowed an ignorant and selfish electorate to be created where "someone else" pays for things. It wont end well when the bill comes due.
all true jester but when the rubber meets the road nefarious miscreants count the votes (ballots) with the gop providing cover for the con ....and that tells the tale.
If in 2016 62 million voted Trump into office, and in 2020 75 million voted for him -- but Biden beat him with 81 mil, how is such a thing possible? I fear that the make is already on ...
If Trump went from 62 million votes in 2016, and 75 million voted for him in 2020, what if he continues that "beta" of vote increase in 2024? How many ghost votes would THE ENEMIES OF AMERICA have to manufacdture out of thin hair this time to deny us again? That coil spring another reader told us about today is gonna let fly regardless of what THE ENEMIES OF AMERICA can do. We will see a ......storm akin to all the farm animals - at one time - backing up to the farm machinery and LETTING FLY!
Yes, we are at the breaking point of the coat hanger wire that compressed the spring we read about today. I don't think there is any other outcome, frankly. If Trump wins, there will be BLM riots out the wazoo. If he doesn't win, there will be American Revolution 2.0. I will enlist in the latter because if the latter is the outcome, we have little to lose.
"... genius Kevin D. Williamson — who blew off Donald Trump in 2016 ... — wrote a column in the New York Post giving Joe Biden election advice."
Each morning, I go right to the Post's Sports section --- seldom if ever reading any of the rest of it.
In the past ten years, the Post has died. Before it died, it murdered its once-famous sense of humor. In its place is The Unreadable, the twin sister of the zombie editions of the Simpsons and Saturday Night Live (death respects no ideology).
Its prose is listless, lifeless, verbose sludge. As Bob Dole would say, they couldn't sell beer on a troopship.
It is my pleasure to pass the word along that Nov. 2-8, 2024, Mr Williamson is going to be a very, VERY unhappy camper.
Don, I have a theory. I have theories on everything.
When I was in high school, a friend's dad decided to install a massive coil spring on his pickup truck's front suspension. The only problem was that he didn't have a proper spring compressor, so he commandeered about a dozen coathangers from his wife's closet and began twisting short pieces between each coil, slowly compressing this huge spring.
Just as he thought it was ready to install, all the coathangers broke at once, the stored energy flinging each fragment at high speed into every corner of the room. How we all kept our eyeballs I don't know.
Today America is that coil spring. The Normals are well and truly fed up with the Woke mob, the child genital-mutilators, the SJWs, the Biden-weaponized Deep State and its subservient judiciary, the Globalists, the Greenies, Soros' BLM rioters, and the Deplorable-haters. When you squeeze people more and more, eventually they too will react, and like that spring, fling pieces of their oppressors in every direction. We are just about there.
Someone sent me a great Trump ad early this morning. Interestingly, it's not from the Trump campaign; the speaker is just a supporter.
I am so obnoxiously persistent that when I approach, I can see my acquaintances avert their eyes and go, "Oh God, here he comes."
Well, at least that's what I imagine.
People who want to recover some of their freedom and live without fear have GOT to Come To Jesus and realize that this is a fight for all the marbles. As we all lie on the ground, that shiny jackboot hovers one inch above our necks and we need to understand That It Is That Serious.
I don't fear the globalists, the corrupt Democrats and their Deep State machine, or the elite who want to rule us all. Smack them across the nose and they'll run, just like all fascists. What I DO fear is that the rest of us will cringe and cower and let them get complete control. And when they do, it's over, Boys and Girls. Over.
That, Jim, is a very good point. Handing the DC cartel victory on a silver platter is not a good strategy. As an example, I give you the Republican Party...wolves in sheep's c;lothing desperately trying to cover up their full support of the Democrat agenda.
That was awesome! Mr. Klingenstein's commentary was spot on and in total sync with my stance on Trump and America. Only an outsider can accomplish the task of deterring the Deep State and the woke Marxists from destroying America and its values. I hope whoever he picks as his VP has the same level of courage and ability to continue the process.
Trump has made a specialty of showing up Biden by doing things as ex-Prez that FJB sould be doing as POTUS- going to the border, to cop funerals killed by valedictorians, to East Palestine O-H-I-O.
He should take a couple of his new found millions and pay for the protection of Kennedy. And to structure it so it can only be used for that, lest he be accused of doing it for self-serving political purposes.
As for waking up to freedom and personal integrity being more valuable than life itself, I highly recommended Natan Sharansky’s Fear No Evil. The way he tells of the KGB’s tactics to destroy those that dare desire to live free, tells you all you need to know about today’s FBI.
But more importantly he tells what you are left with when you are refined by fire, and how the greatest thing you can do for your loved ones can be done, even behind bars.
O Lord- be with those wrongfully imprisoned, and give them strength and truth. Amen
That is a brilliant idea for Trump to help pay for Kennedy’s protection. Altho Kennedy may(?) have sufficient funds to cover his own. And frankly, I’m not really sure where the Secret Service’s loyalties lie these days, or which is more reliable, private security or Secret Service.
You are correct. The Dems would convene a committee the next day to claim Trump incited insurrection against RFK and should be charged with murder. Forty percent of voters would believe it too.
I think I have read somewhere that RFKjr has been paying for private security, but I think that Boggs suggestion is an excellent one for Trump to at least make a very public offer to do - maybe it would at least shame FJB for his pettiness. Unless they follow conservative sites, most people are probably unaware of the secret service coverage refusal for Kennedy
Drove by the grassy knoll & book depository yesterday. At the stoplight was reflecting on that day. Now have better understanding on the complete corruption of ‘our’ federal government….
My question would be, instead of diverting his $ resources to resist an offensive attack on different BidensWeg opponent, would be to ask Who benefits if Kennedy was shot? Would everyone run to vote Biden? Sign up to be a Homeland Security junior youth member? Take a welcome! lunch basket to the local bus station for all those single Chinese boys in crew cuts seeking freedom?
I mentioned back in January that I lost my home in a fire. I am happy to report that my insurer treated me a a good neighbor would and I have a new home. I am posting this today to let you know that like The White House my new home has a gas cooktop. Public Service Announcement: if you have a home with an attached garage you should have a fire detector in that garage.
Here in Commie Alexandria Va we have lefty’s who allow invaders to live in their garages and they charge rent. People living and cooking in garages! What could go wrong?
A home changed from an owner occupied dwelling to a multifamily residence in violation of the building codes could easily be considered as a substantial change in the risk.
Would drop a dime on them to Code compliance. Lots of fines to be garnered by your tax-hungry city government. See if you could get a finders fee. Rules for radicals.
Show up at a city council meeting and tell them they are losing ‘perhaps as high as $50 million dollars in fines - $2500 X 20,000 illegals’. Current staff could do their job. Just don’t get arrested for bringing up subject of risk of rape to your school age family members like in Fairfax…
Mr. Kennedy is not without resources and no doubt has private security with him. But he should be afforded federal protection given his background. It should be a lesson for every liberal about just how devoted your Democrat party is to you if you choose to call them out.
For what it's worth, when I attended Rice U in 1981-82, many people around the campus rented "garage apartments" that were affordable for students and less of a hassle than giving a "renter" your house key. It was a way of life down there.
National Review has a Twitter post featuring a caricature of Trump and a headline Four More Years of Trump? At this stage it should read Four More Years of Trump! Punctuation is important
It wasn’t Fetterman’s brain injury that kept him crazy - he recovered his sanity when he ditched his screwy leftist wife….white liberal women are doing more damage to the American way of life than any other group - their political ‘hysteria’ (a word derived from the Greek word for ‘uterus’!!) is alarming.
Totally agree - but women are the hysterical ones in the Democrat show…why is it that 20 to 30 of young females today think they are anything but straight females when historically only 5% were found to be gay and 0.5% were trans? Understandably, there are a number of factors one of which was Covid - but the ideology on the left side of the aisle has a lot to account for the wackiness of today’s youth. Personally, my friends who lean left have all sorts of issues with their kids- mental (anorexia, depression, anxiety etc), unmarried, no children (don’t want them), can’t get a grip on life, need lots of ‘me- time’ whereas my right-leaning friends’ kids, not so much. I don’t know why there’s a difference but there is.
Easy, you plant a flower and carefully nurture it and it grows strong and beautiful. If you plant one and ignore it and feed it hate it grows to be twisted and ill.
You’re right, there is an emotional stridency with the women that is in a class by itself.
I can’t understand why the white men,tho, don’t realize they are the chief target of the Left and no amount of appeasement is going to keep the vultures off them.
That the kids are becoming unglued shows that the Left ideology is increasingly damaging as each generation gets further from bedrock.
Another observation - I was a greeter at our presidential primary that was held last week. Most Republican voters were male with a handful of women - they largely came in as individuals. Most Democrat men came in accompanied by a woman; they were also more groomed, ie the Republican men were blue collar and voted early to get to work. One of the Republican men told me his wife was Democrat as were his friends’ wives (he rolled his eyes, smiled and winked). He said his wife watches MSNBC and CNN constantly. He also said he and his friends meet up at the shooting range to get away from the wives and their ‘kooky thoughts’ - they make jokes and blow off steam.
If you look into history, you will find plenty of earlier cases of mass-hysteria among young females. Aldous Huxley's "The Devils of Loudun" is a lively story of real events. And the history of witch hunting includes plenty of young women who voluntarily confessed having cast spells and flown through the air ...
Quite so, and let's not forget that more recent craze, of women "remembering" being abused when they were babies. For that one, female "counselors" deserve a lot of blame.
well...those white donk males are mostly enabling beta male eunuchs kissing the asses of all those crazy females. they're useless, worthless and weak-minded. it's the females that are in charge. dr. jill and plugs come to mind.
Just waiting to see if it is an act. Now he can be ‘a reasoned Statesman’, like Miss Lindsey, or his dead evil buddy McCain, or the American Motors Corporation wizard seed of Utah….
His change has been very unusual. Like with everything else these days, there's probably more to the story beneath the surface, that won't come to light for awhile, if ever. But I sure am very curious.
I felt the exactly the same way about him not long ago, but he’s lately been like a an almost completely different person, (his separation from his wife during the same time frame cannot be coincidental). His bold and fearless stance in support for Israel has been more powerful than even any on the right! I’m cutting him a ton of slack and many kudos for that.
Sometimes you have to separate yourself from the people around you to actually find yourself. My hope is that is what is happening to him. One can only hope. But credit where credit is due.
"...what does it say about someone who allows their spouse to control their speech?" In today's world it may mean that they are presidential material. (See current Whitehouse residents. Also applies to the Wilsons back in the day.)
"You can see why men who accomplish things in life have a distaste for writers."
I think one difference between the left and right is the right are builders of good things that are given to others to build on for themselves. The leftist socialists take things to give to others who haven't earned them and destroy what was given to them in the end.
Producers are hated in society because their competition in society don't have clue how to build anything with integrity. They even failed Play doh 101 in preschool.
The “middle of the road” is defined by the road’s edges. Where the left edge bulges, the middle moves left, and where the right edge bulges, the middle moves right. The middle position is thus, controlled by the far right and the far left.
In politics, it is the least independent and the most mindless place to be. It does not represent moderation, as many claim - it represents abdication of the ability to embrace free thinking.
To boast that one stands in the middle, is to reveal that one lacks the capacity and/or the courage to think for oneself.
Ergo: the proverbial yellow stripe. And where the road is challenging, double(!) yellow stripes.
I confess that I am only vaguely familiar with the article’s antagonist. But I know his ilk. They are the real deplorables, who wish everyone to believe that their carping and shrinking are somehow noble.
“No labels”? I got your “label … and it’s not complimentary.
You are perfectly on target with that analogy. Being a moderate or centrist is another way of saying you are too lazy to adopt a position and fight for it. You never want a moderate behind you.
Or, as expressed in The Message, a modern paraphrase translation by Eugene Peterson:
“I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You’re not cold, you’re not hot—far better to be either cold or hot! You’re stale. You’re stagnant. You make me want to vomit. You brag, ‘I’m rich, I’ve got it made, I need nothing from anyone,’ oblivious that in fact you’re a pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and homeless."
All the immigrants, I know, and there are quite a few, are all behind Trump. These people are from Mexico, Ukraine, South Africa, Russia, and Brazil and they all love Trump. They came here to get away from what the current regime is trying to do to us.
I saw a disgusting ad the other day. It was a man and woman grieving over the loss of their baby. The ad continued long enough that you were truly sad for this couple. The end of the ad said that because Donald Trump overturned Roe vs Wade the woman couldn’t get the health care that could have saved her baby. The starkness of the lie was flabbergasting. Despicable.
Agree with that, SV. Only in Washington DC could killing a baby be called health care! The novel 1984 wasn't meant as a plan. It was to have been a cautionary tale. Oops.
Barry Goldwater was portrayed as a lunatic by the MSM. He was a great guy, a humane guy, and a doer. He helped bulldoze the runways for Sky Harbor in Phoenix, meaning he actually got on the bulldozer and did the work. He flew AZ servicemen returning on leave back to Phoenix from California in WW2, meaning he flew the plane. When he was wrong, he changed his mind. He wasn’t a pansy, a pedo, or a parasite, unlike its current batch in Congress.
Kevin Williamson is just another midwit Never Trump shill, like all the rest of the National Review political trannies. They identify as Republicans, but they are Democrats in drag.
I don’t know if we can win, because I don’t see the evil cretins pushing us toward digital Marxist slavery giving up their grift. At the end of the day, the treachery in Washington is infinite and most of us aren’t sociopaths, so we get outmaneuvered and discouraged like anybody attacked by an organized criminal gang. But if we have any chance, it’s simply Trump and those of us who support the United States have to keep the faith.
Yes, the Left has the advantage in terms of being able to outmaneuver and dis-spirit us as to evil. But--and I'm not using 'rose-colored glasses' here--it is simply a fact that evil carries with it many, many negative elements, that genuinely do undercut its ability to succeed. So the playing field is NOT tilted in their favor. I am looking forwards to their next self-destructive act or event, which should be due in about another week or so.
Thinkers, Williamson and his ilk not included, see the black and white of politics. Sadly, the Left's 60 year control of education and it's 90% control of media keep the thinkers in the minority. On the plus side for 2024 is the everyday struggle of the masses to buy groceries and pay bills. That is a black and white ordinary voters must face every day. Trump once provided those masses with a proven alternative even the most steadfast Democrat can remember. Maybe, just maybe, 2024 will teach the Democrats the James Carville's lesson, "It's the economy, Stupid."
“Live free or die. Death is not the greatest of evils.”
I lived behind the Iron Curtain for a few years in the early 80’s and have witnessed firsthand what the left has in store for us. It’s worse than you can imagine. Stark nailed it.

The liberals don’t mind at all if we normies are persecuted and suffer. They just want to remain the elites in control.
The people under ~35 have no recollection of what communism is and the history of communism has been memory holed in our education system. Those under 35 don’t know what potentially may hit them. The rest of us do and are bracing ourselves.
And when the pushback comes they will scream and call us Nazi’s and never exhibit an ounce if self awareness. . .

yes i read stalingrad. grossman is rivioting.
Know God.. No fear.. Do not fear is in the Bible 365 times
Has been my personal motto since I first heard 50 years ago.
I recommend writing a memoir.

Well, I don't know if they'd have an easier time manufacturing votes out of thin hair or thin air. But they seem to have a lot of experience.
Well, how about manufacturing votes out of Biden plugs? The emperor is hiding a chrome dome in plain sight.
Brilliant idea, and I'll bet he won't even notice.
Pretty sure that folks like O.J. Simpson will be voting for Biden in large numbers. (Too soon?)
Naa-a-a-ah...
At this rate, the greatest and unparalleled challenge will be keeping Biden upright & physically alive until November 6, 2024.
Yeah, there is a real possibility his health just won't carry him that far. They're pushing him hard. Another 6-1/2 months of that--not good.

Trump has made a specialty of showing up Biden by doing things as ex-Prez that FJB sould be doing as POTUS- going to the border, to cop funerals killed by valedictorians, to East Palestine O-H-I-O.
He should take a couple of his new found millions and pay for the protection of Kennedy. And to structure it so it can only be used for that, lest he be accused of doing it for self-serving political purposes.
As for waking up to freedom and personal integrity being more valuable than life itself, I highly recommended Natan Sharansky’s Fear No Evil. The way he tells of the KGB’s tactics to destroy those that dare desire to live free, tells you all you need to know about today’s FBI.
But more importantly he tells what you are left with when you are refined by fire, and how the greatest thing you can do for your loved ones can be done, even behind bars.
O Lord- be with those wrongfully imprisoned, and give them strength and truth. Amen
For a bonus, read it alongside Orwell’s 1984.
That is a brilliant idea for Trump to help pay for Kennedy’s protection. Altho Kennedy may(?) have sufficient funds to cover his own. And frankly, I’m not really sure where the Secret Service’s loyalties lie these days, or which is more reliable, private security or Secret Service.
No because if, God in heaven forbid, something ever did happen to RFK Jr., Trump could get the blame, not Biden.
You are correct. The Dems would convene a committee the next day to claim Trump incited insurrection against RFK and should be charged with murder. Forty percent of voters would believe it too.
Dead on! You can just write the headlines!
I had the same thoughts, Suzie.
On the face of it, that doesn't make sense, given that Biden is the one who has all the guns on HIS side.
Let RFK choose his own security detail…and send the bill to DJT.
I think I have read somewhere that RFKjr has been paying for private security, but I think that Boggs suggestion is an excellent one for Trump to at least make a very public offer to do - maybe it would at least shame FJB for his pettiness. Unless they follow conservative sites, most people are probably unaware of the secret service coverage refusal for Kennedy
Didn't the Secret Service step aside to allow Kennedy's assassination in Dallas?
or stepped "in"
Drove by the grassy knoll & book depository yesterday. At the stoplight was reflecting on that day. Now have better understanding on the complete corruption of ‘our’ federal government….
My question would be, instead of diverting his $ resources to resist an offensive attack on different BidensWeg opponent, would be to ask Who benefits if Kennedy was shot? Would everyone run to vote Biden? Sign up to be a Homeland Security junior youth member? Take a welcome! lunch basket to the local bus station for all those single Chinese boys in crew cuts seeking freedom?
I mentioned back in January that I lost my home in a fire. I am happy to report that my insurer treated me a a good neighbor would and I have a new home. I am posting this today to let you know that like The White House my new home has a gas cooktop. Public Service Announcement: if you have a home with an attached garage you should have a fire detector in that garage.
Here in Commie Alexandria Va we have lefty’s who allow invaders to live in their garages and they charge rent. People living and cooking in garages! What could go wrong?
That seems unwise
Also it could be considered a change in the risk and void the insurance coverage.
My insurance would cancel at someone cooking in the garage ....
A home changed from an owner occupied dwelling to a multifamily residence in violation of the building codes could easily be considered as a substantial change in the risk.
If their mortgage lender gets wind of it the would foreclose. Insurance provider two.
Would drop a dime on them to Code compliance. Lots of fines to be garnered by your tax-hungry city government. See if you could get a finders fee. Rules for radicals.
Show up at a city council meeting and tell them they are losing ‘perhaps as high as $50 million dollars in fines - $2500 X 20,000 illegals’. Current staff could do their job. Just don’t get arrested for bringing up subject of risk of rape to your school age family members like in Fairfax…
🙄
Mr. Kennedy is not without resources and no doubt has private security with him. But he should be afforded federal protection given his background. It should be a lesson for every liberal about just how devoted your Democrat party is to you if you choose to call them out.
Happy for you!
Praise the Lord! Good news!
For what it's worth, when I attended Rice U in 1981-82, many people around the campus rented "garage apartments" that were affordable for students and less of a hassle than giving a "renter" your house key. It was a way of life down there.
National Review has a Twitter post featuring a caricature of Trump and a headline Four More Years of Trump? At this stage it should read Four More Years of Trump! Punctuation is important
Happily surprised to see Fetterman leading that list of grunge.
It wasn’t Fetterman’s brain injury that kept him crazy - he recovered his sanity when he ditched his screwy leftist wife….white liberal women are doing more damage to the American way of life than any other group - their political ‘hysteria’ (a word derived from the Greek word for ‘uterus’!!) is alarming.
Well, but there’s an awful lot of white liberal men right in there with them, such as are in our Congress, doing a heck of alot of damage.
Totally agree - but women are the hysterical ones in the Democrat show…why is it that 20 to 30 of young females today think they are anything but straight females when historically only 5% were found to be gay and 0.5% were trans? Understandably, there are a number of factors one of which was Covid - but the ideology on the left side of the aisle has a lot to account for the wackiness of today’s youth. Personally, my friends who lean left have all sorts of issues with their kids- mental (anorexia, depression, anxiety etc), unmarried, no children (don’t want them), can’t get a grip on life, need lots of ‘me- time’ whereas my right-leaning friends’ kids, not so much. I don’t know why there’s a difference but there is.
Easy, you plant a flower and carefully nurture it and it grows strong and beautiful. If you plant one and ignore it and feed it hate it grows to be twisted and ill.
No truer words.
You’re right, there is an emotional stridency with the women that is in a class by itself.
I can’t understand why the white men,tho, don’t realize they are the chief target of the Left and no amount of appeasement is going to keep the vultures off them.
That the kids are becoming unglued shows that the Left ideology is increasingly damaging as each generation gets further from bedrock.
Another observation - I was a greeter at our presidential primary that was held last week. Most Republican voters were male with a handful of women - they largely came in as individuals. Most Democrat men came in accompanied by a woman; they were also more groomed, ie the Republican men were blue collar and voted early to get to work. One of the Republican men told me his wife was Democrat as were his friends’ wives (he rolled his eyes, smiled and winked). He said his wife watches MSNBC and CNN constantly. He also said he and his friends meet up at the shooting range to get away from the wives and their ‘kooky thoughts’ - they make jokes and blow off steam.
as michelle obama stated: "women are smarter than men".
...like Sheila Jackson Lee, Democrat Representative from Texas who told schoolkids that the moon was mostly gas?
If you look into history, you will find plenty of earlier cases of mass-hysteria among young females. Aldous Huxley's "The Devils of Loudun" is a lively story of real events. And the history of witch hunting includes plenty of young women who voluntarily confessed having cast spells and flown through the air ...
Exactly - ditto women who ‘got the vapors’ in Victorian times…
Quite so, and let's not forget that more recent craze, of women "remembering" being abused when they were babies. For that one, female "counselors" deserve a lot of blame.
It’s called a “social contagion” fueled by Pharma, Hormone Clinics, Surgeons and Psychologists. You know the people who are supposed to HELP you.
well...those white donk males are mostly enabling beta male eunuchs kissing the asses of all those crazy females. they're useless, worthless and weak-minded. it's the females that are in charge. dr. jill and plugs come to mind.
Fetterman has been a huge surprise
Fetterman has been a surprise to the democrats, too, which makes me laugh.
Delicious 😋
I saw him being inteviewed on the TV and he was wearing a hoodie and shortpants.
Just waiting to see if it is an act. Now he can be ‘a reasoned Statesman’, like Miss Lindsey, or his dead evil buddy McCain, or the American Motors Corporation wizard seed of Utah….
It appears the stroke re-organized his gray matter for the wiser.
I have never seen that happen before. Is there hope for Old lunch pail Joe from Scranton…don’t think hell is that powerful.
His change has been very unusual. Like with everything else these days, there's probably more to the story beneath the surface, that won't come to light for awhile, if ever. But I sure am very curious.
I have no respect for that guy because he does not respect the office or body he was elected to serve in. He can afford pants! This isn’t 1965.
I felt the exactly the same way about him not long ago, but he’s lately been like a an almost completely different person, (his separation from his wife during the same time frame cannot be coincidental). His bold and fearless stance in support for Israel has been more powerful than even any on the right! I’m cutting him a ton of slack and many kudos for that.
You may be right but what does it say about someone who allows their spouse to control their speech? He is a user, not a fixer.
Sometimes you have to separate yourself from the people around you to actually find yourself. My hope is that is what is happening to him. One can only hope. But credit where credit is due.
We can all change. I just don't see many Democrats fundamentally changing anymore. That's where we get RINO's.
"...what does it say about someone who allows their spouse to control their speech?" In today's world it may mean that they are presidential material. (See current Whitehouse residents. Also applies to the Wilsons back in the day.)
Proper attire can hide a lot of mischief.
Yep. But in this case the guy is just a slob who does not respect his office. Its all about him.
You're right about that. But isn't there a narcissist lurking inside every politician?
Yes, for sure. Wish there were more doers lurking as well.
"You can see why men who accomplish things in life have a distaste for writers."
I think one difference between the left and right is the right are builders of good things that are given to others to build on for themselves. The leftist socialists take things to give to others who haven't earned them and destroy what was given to them in the end.
Producers are hated in society because their competition in society don't have clue how to build anything with integrity. They even failed Play doh 101 in preschool.
Obama's grand parents (the white ones) were impressed with how fast little Barry could take things apart.
Hah!
Good analogy Shrugged !!
The striped Road Kill photo is symbolic of so many things: DEI, FJB presidency and the education received in America’s Colleges today.
The “middle of the road” is defined by the road’s edges. Where the left edge bulges, the middle moves left, and where the right edge bulges, the middle moves right. The middle position is thus, controlled by the far right and the far left.
In politics, it is the least independent and the most mindless place to be. It does not represent moderation, as many claim - it represents abdication of the ability to embrace free thinking.
To boast that one stands in the middle, is to reveal that one lacks the capacity and/or the courage to think for oneself.
Ergo: the proverbial yellow stripe. And where the road is challenging, double(!) yellow stripes.
I confess that I am only vaguely familiar with the article’s antagonist. But I know his ilk. They are the real deplorables, who wish everyone to believe that their carping and shrinking are somehow noble.
“No labels”? I got your “label … and it’s not complimentary.
You are perfectly on target with that analogy. Being a moderate or centrist is another way of saying you are too lazy to adopt a position and fight for it. You never want a moderate behind you.
“ I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”
Revelations 3:15-16
Or, as expressed in The Message, a modern paraphrase translation by Eugene Peterson:
“I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You’re not cold, you’re not hot—far better to be either cold or hot! You’re stale. You’re stagnant. You make me want to vomit. You brag, ‘I’m rich, I’ve got it made, I need nothing from anyone,’ oblivious that in fact you’re a pitiful, blind beggar, threadbare and homeless."
Revelation 3:15-16 (The Message)
All the immigrants, I know, and there are quite a few, are all behind Trump. These people are from Mexico, Ukraine, South Africa, Russia, and Brazil and they all love Trump. They came here to get away from what the current regime is trying to do to us.
I saw a disgusting ad the other day. It was a man and woman grieving over the loss of their baby. The ad continued long enough that you were truly sad for this couple. The end of the ad said that because Donald Trump overturned Roe vs Wade the woman couldn’t get the health care that could have saved her baby. The starkness of the lie was flabbergasting. Despicable.
Agree with that, SV. Only in Washington DC could killing a baby be called health care! The novel 1984 wasn't meant as a plan. It was to have been a cautionary tale. Oops.
Nailed the poll.
Pitch perfect editorial.
Barry Goldwater was portrayed as a lunatic by the MSM. He was a great guy, a humane guy, and a doer. He helped bulldoze the runways for Sky Harbor in Phoenix, meaning he actually got on the bulldozer and did the work. He flew AZ servicemen returning on leave back to Phoenix from California in WW2, meaning he flew the plane. When he was wrong, he changed his mind. He wasn’t a pansy, a pedo, or a parasite, unlike its current batch in Congress.
Kevin Williamson is just another midwit Never Trump shill, like all the rest of the National Review political trannies. They identify as Republicans, but they are Democrats in drag.
I don’t know if we can win, because I don’t see the evil cretins pushing us toward digital Marxist slavery giving up their grift. At the end of the day, the treachery in Washington is infinite and most of us aren’t sociopaths, so we get outmaneuvered and discouraged like anybody attacked by an organized criminal gang. But if we have any chance, it’s simply Trump and those of us who support the United States have to keep the faith.
Amen ,esp./last sentence Tanto.
Yes, the Left has the advantage in terms of being able to outmaneuver and dis-spirit us as to evil. But--and I'm not using 'rose-colored glasses' here--it is simply a fact that evil carries with it many, many negative elements, that genuinely do undercut its ability to succeed. So the playing field is NOT tilted in their favor. I am looking forwards to their next self-destructive act or event, which should be due in about another week or so.
Kevin Williamson, the man who calls Trump a witless ape, gets ejected from a theater for tossing a girl’s phone against a wall.
https://www.cnet.com/culture/annoyed-theatergoer-ejected-after-grabbing-cell-phone-and-tossing-it/
Kettle, meet pot.
Williamson got tossed from The Atlantic ala Ronna McDaniel so he knows the drill. It seems that mid-of-road folks just piss everyone off.
Everything is dependent on the next election. Everything we hold dear. Everything, including life.
Thinkers, Williamson and his ilk not included, see the black and white of politics. Sadly, the Left's 60 year control of education and it's 90% control of media keep the thinkers in the minority. On the plus side for 2024 is the everyday struggle of the masses to buy groceries and pay bills. That is a black and white ordinary voters must face every day. Trump once provided those masses with a proven alternative even the most steadfast Democrat can remember. Maybe, just maybe, 2024 will teach the Democrats the James Carville's lesson, "It's the economy, Stupid."
I belive this is the first time I have seen this printed in such plain and simple terms.
Thank you
