$425,000,000 just in Ohio!!!!!

Holy chopadickoffame Batman!

I wonder what unnecessary procedures will be performed to make up for the loss in revenue.

It seems that in many declining areas, the only construction cranes visible are at hospitals.

That’s why planned parenthood got into that line of business. Create a market, get in bed with the Feds, offer the product, cash out on the subsidies. Like the wind and solar “markets,” only evil and deadly. Like the wind and solar markets, what do you do with the ruined products? This is so evil.

I know it's a long-shot, but Big Mike is my bet for the Dems. It will be interesting to watch it play out since I am certain Joe won't be on the ballot. I believe all the recent attention to tranny stuff (i.e. since 2020) is the setup for Moochelle's entrance as an intact male transvestite.

That’s the point. Let them go full on socialist. The people will revolt. It’s either us or them unfortunately. This will not be resolved through talking and/or the courts. Neither side will wake up tomorrow and capitulate. The left IS going to push us into a corner where we will have no choice but to fight or way out literally. war. It will give them “authority” to “remove” the malcontents. Only 150-200 million Americans. Genocide like all previous dictatorial regimes have done on scales small and very large.

Interesting. They agree it is a long shot and there is no polling to indicate it one way or the other, but it is a strategy that is powerful enough to displace Biden and Harris and restore the dems and moderates to vote in a block.

I don't think she will run for two reasons. One: she would face a high risk of being defeated (and humiliated) by a loss to Trump. And, two, the vast majority of voters know it's Obama and Friends directing the show and won't vote for more of the same.

Actually, I'm not convinced there will be an election. Biden may follow the example set by Zelinsky.

If Michelle Obama is the nominee, though, this stuff about her supposedly being a trans-man has to END. If there is hard proof she is a man pretending to be a woman--get the facts out, and get them out now. That will put an end to her even becoming the nominee.

But if it isn't true--or you have zero proof--all you will do is indulge yourself in entertaining that smear on her, and drive Democrats to defend her even more. It would sound silly and juvenile to most Americans, to keep alluding to her as a female imposter. The media would focus on that, and it would drive any other--legitimate criticism of her-- off the news. You only shoot your own selves in the foot and destroy your own credibility, if you push that Michelle "is really a man".

You have to combat Michelle Obama as a Communist, and lay out the facts of Obama as a Communist partner of Communist Bill Ayers, and Valerie Jarrett as their Communist cohort, etc. etc.

Expand full comment

There is a simple solution. Show me her birth certificate, The REAL one, not the fake photoshopped one that Barack tried to push that had many layers of editing in it when analyzed. You see, the Obamas are 100% fake. If Michelle is a female, she has a LEGITIMATE birth certificate to prove it. But, she isn't a female. She is a man - the man that BHO wanted to make love to all his life.

Expand full comment

Shrugged, you have a super-high credibility with me from all your comments over time. Really value and enjoy your comments, and am right in sync with you. But I am surprised you really think she is not a woman? That BOTH Barack AND Michelle's birth certificates are false?

But I will say, it seems in recent years, that I am continually finding out that things I thought were far-fetched at first, turn out to be true!

But if Michelle IS really a man-- this is truly earth shattering, and the country will not react well to having been deceived about such a basic thing. So it could backfire on the Democrats in a big way to install her as the nominee, because although they will try to rush it through with minimal public vetting, still-- somehow one would think evidence WOULD surface before the election.

But do realize, that without evidence-- of which there currently is NONE, it only hurts the Right to make that silly-sounding accusation against Michelle.

An aside--I don't think she has a man's larger Adam's apple--at least, I haven't seen any pictures that show that-- and that would be a hard thing to hide.

Doubt it. The left is screwed due to Harris never accepting someone else taking over for Biden. She owns them now. So they will ride this out and try to make sure the courts do their dirty work for them keeping Trump off the GOP ticket. Remember, it isn't just the Dems who are fighting him. There is a large portion of the GOP scared as hell that he will prevail in his house cleaning and uncovering all the bodies.

Probably not if but when. She may be the October surprise. However, if the tea leaves suggest a 50/50 chance of losing, she may wait until 2028. A defeat on a thin resume' wouldn't be good.

Barack had a very thin resume that somehow was ignored and/or enhanced. They even "enhanced" his birth certificate. Plus, the average Obama voter would believe anything they are told about Moochelle.

True, Shrugged. It was indeed a super-thin resume, and they ignored his 5 year stint as Chairman of the Board of Communist Bill Ayer's educational foundation (Ayers was the CEO); whose Charter stated the purpose as promoting "social justice" (Marxist CRT/DEI) in schools.

To answer your question abut unnecessary procedures…My stepmother was dying from end stage COPD when she fell and broke her hip. Surgeons put her through hip surgery and a week late she drowned from the fluid in her lungs which was a result of the surgery.

I have a friend who is a respiratory therapist and I asked her why they performed the surgery when they knew that she was dying. She said, “$urgeons like to cut.” So, it’s not just tranny procedures which are lining their pockets.

Autistic girls are particularly subject to the kind of rejection and bullying that, in the current culture, make them more likely to identify as trans. My own autistic granddaughter is in that place. The only peers who have ever loved and accepted her are the LGBTQ crowd. That’s a terrible indictment on the way we’re raising our “normal” children, especially children of Christian parents.

When you consider that the Ohio GOP are RINO dominant ( although maybe the INO part is wrong; maybe the big R tent intends to have room for the spineless), this is hugely encouraging. When I cast about for reasons to account for this wonderfully surprising display of courage, all I can put my finger on is- Trump.

In other news- 2nd hand, I get this from my son who has been livestreaming the defamation trial for the suit Michael Mann brought against Mark Steyn, a dozen years ago- Mark, who is representing himself, was yesterday examining Mann on the witness stand- and “tearing him a new one” (my son’s words).

Mark, who to date has spent $10 million defending himself, made Mann admit (what Steyn knew or he wouldn’t have put the question) that all his legal representation has, to date, cost him $0, AND that he won’t be billed for the services of his lawyers after this trial.

How interesting is that?

Expand full comment

The courage and tenacity of Steyn in pursuit of the truth is incredible. This case has dragged on for, I believe, over a decade now, attempting to destroy Steyn for pointing out the now more than fully known and factually proven falsity of Mann’s faked “hockey stick” model attempt to support climate change.

Mann is a fraud and a charlatan - and a pathological liar.

Pray for Mark Steyn’s victory (and his good health, as he is battling there, too), once and for all, and for all to see.

It's not just "health care", in this case it's "gender-affirming care". The Left specializes in creating euphemisms like "women's health" for abortion, "human rights" for sexual deviancies, and of course the opposite of a euphemism, like "insurrection" for a riot that, contrary to the incendiary riots that THEY favor, was largely peaceful.

You have gotten to the heart of the matter. No one wants to fix “real” problems facing this country. So they make up problems and promote them with help from the media branch of government, thereby deflecting from real problems to fake ones.

If you examine our recent history, you will note a number of interesting phenomena relative to what can rightfully be called popular hysterias. These particularly impact young females and notably, have been observed to wax and wane over time.

Remember anorexia/bulemia? It was basically unknown in contemporary society until the popular media picked it up and broadcast it, whereupon it became a national phenomenon. Although "eating disorders" had been observed throughout recorded history, going back well into medievil times, such were previously a very localized occurrence, but when the popular media picked it up it became widespread. However, like all popular hysterias, it has been in decline and other psychological maladies have come to replace it in the popular psyche. See also the "cutting" phenomenon.

Likewise, there have always been people who believed they were of the opposite sex to that which biology had selected for them, but they were generally perceived to be isolated and perverse cases. The Roman emperor Eligabalus and Joan of Arc come to mind. They were a small, almost insignificant minority until the popular press decided to make this our "hysteria du jour."

Review the statistics related to appearance of the term "transgender" in the popular media; it was almost non-existent until around the mid-1960's, then slowly increased until the Obama years, when references to transgenderism exploded, not coincidentally with the Obama decree that surgical mutilation must be covered by insurance. (Part of his agenda to "radically transform," i.e. destroy America.)

So now there has come about a confluence of perverse incentives that has caused a huge increase, albeit still a very small but extremely loud and militant group, of these perverts, whose presence is amplified by the media and who are preyed upon by unscrupulous medical practitioners who make themselves wealthy by medicating and surgically mulitating their victims, all at the expense of the greater populace which still opposes these activities. It is not yet determined whether this wave of popular hysteria will fade in time or if these satanic forces of evil will prevail to our doom. I pray not, but I do not discount the alternative. Paul got it right when he wrote his pastoral letters to Timothy, particularly when he warned of what evil men would do in the last days. We should heed his warning.

Greed. Sheer, unadulterated greed motivates all these people involved in even contemplating such butchery, trampling any and all pretense of ethics, morality, and the very oath a medical professional swears to: “Do No Harm.”

It is wickedness taken to an unprecedented level.

But it needs more than these laws which aim to stop at the mutilation: they have to go after the schools and organizations that are literally poisoning and warping the minds of millions of innocent children.

For starters, there should be no funding of any school or organization that is teaching, pushing or promoting any of this perverse and thoroughly false, dangerous and even deadly bullshit.

Second, there need to be LAWS unequivocally designating any one found to be promoting it to any individual under the age of 18, as a sex offender, and treated as such.

Enough already. If we’re not willing to fight for our children than we don’t deserve to live. That’s the bottom line.

Common sense. Let's bring it back, if we can find some.

The Left knows what it's doing. The trans movement is not organic. It's a planned political movement dating back decades. It's objective is destabilizing the family and demasculinizing the country. It's about hating America and hating normal social structures like families and heterosexuality, which leads to reproduction if I remember correctly from ye olde biology.

If the MSM told the entire country that it was fashionable to wear cow patties on your head, about 20% of the country would start doing it. Currently that 20% is nominally in charge of the country because powerful people behind the scenes can manipulate them to get what they want. Those people should not be in charge of anything, anywhere.

One in several thousand people historically is the rate at which gender dysphoria occurred. The recent spike is artificial and harmful to society, but mostly to the mentally fragile people falling for this nonsense. Ohio made the right move.

"But just as Obama had the power to force insurance companies to finance the butchery, . . "

If I am remembering this correctly, Obama was given the power by our own Ghislaine-hugging John Roberts who enabled the Obamacare mandate on the basis it was a tax.

Epstein and Maxwell had an empire built on child trafficking and sex. Having confused kids morphed into drugged playmates was probably part of it, and created smaller local sex rings like pizzagate.

As an Ohioan, I was angry at Mini-Mike DeWine's decision, but was really glad to see the people spoke through the legislature. Our government can only get abortion on demand when it is mandated from the top down (Federal, and now state level leaders). But, when the people are given a voice, it doesn't do very well.

Reminds me of...

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back their lives as they have lived them, are over.

The moment the Men who wanted to be left alone are forced to fight back, it is a form of suicide. They are literally killing off who they used to be. Which is why, when forced to take up violence, these Men who wanted to be left alone, fight with unholy vengeance against those who murdered their former lives. They fight with raw hate, and a drive that cannot be fathomed by those who are merely play-acting at politics and terror.

TRUE TERROR will arrive at these people's door, and they will cry, scream, and beg for mercy...but it will fall upon the deaf ears of the Men who just wanted to be left alone."
