On Monday, Zelensky and European leaders flew to Washington to get the terms of agreement for an armistice between Russia and Ukraine after 3 years of war.
When that twit Metz said he can’t see any peace without a cease fire first I about lost it.
This man represents a country that has started 2 World Wars and has policies in his country that has led to an invasion of Muslims into all of Europe. The Muslim invasion is ruining the continent.
Listening to him about anything is beyond foolish.
Steve, I am an anglo with ties to Wales. My family were some of the first English to come to Virginia. I have been studying a lot of history these past 10 years and what I have learned is that the Neocons get to write the books and own the publishers much the way our federal government runs the news media so remember that when you read history books. Always research the life of the author. While I am not a scholar I'm not an idiot either. I don't think we will ever know the truth behind the JFK assassination.
Makes me wonder: are Euroweenies the predominant cultural/political force in the EU (and UK) as a delayed reaction to so many of their strong young men being slaughtered in the world wars?
Because none of it makes any sense to me. How do you go from the sort of national pride that inspired the Germans to almost succeed in conquering Europe, and the resolute "hell fucking no you won't" indomitability of the English as a response, to Keir Starmer and this Metz fool as national leaders whose effete weenie-ness mostly represents the will of their people?
A direct result of apathy to an assault on white men in particular but all men in general ,hence the phrase /toxic masculinity. The left backed by funding via WEF and USAID created the wokeness we are just now rejecting under the leadership of PDJT. I am of the opinion the U.K.,France and Germany are all lost to Muslim occupiers but there is hope for the rest of Europe under leaders such as Orban and Meloni.
As sure as my roommate in college, Donald John Travers, was called Don Juan, DJT was AKA also. A main reason why the lunatic left hates him w/the heat of a thousand suns. He’s the working man’s Adonis.
There is a lot that went on in Europe from 1900-1915 that we have not been privy to. I think we need to take a closer look at the Treaty of Versailles and the Nuremberg trails. I think this is when the sh_t hit the fan. Not at the assassination of JFK. Then there is the instant collapse of a 47 story building several blocks from the Twin Towers that did not get struck by a plane on 9-11. Isn't politics messy?
08/19/25: Thanks. Not even a Geek Squad running an internet dating service would want anything to do with any of them save the vivacious lady from Italy.
As I saw this and other summits play out live and in person, two things struck me. First, when you stand for truth without a selfish motive, it exposes those who don't stand for truth and do have a selfish motive. Every single one of the dignitaries yesterday (even Meloni) have blindly followed the NATO/EU clique and do not have a desire to step away from that immoral, untruthful, self-serving group. They are stepping away now only because Trump has exerted the muscle of trade over them. Second, There is an 'old school' of politicians. Reagan was in it, as was Nixon, and JFK. Trump couldn't have been in it with such a short and late career in politics, but he reincarnated the template.
This may be going way out on a limb, but JFK wanted to do some big things that were 'taboo' because he saw a better world at the end of that tunnel. So does Trump. IMO both men were hit with an assassin's bullet because of it.
What would this world be today if JFK had served his terms preventing LBJ's shoe-in as POTUS? We could have gone from Kennedy to Nixon, and Vietnam would have been over by 1968.
The slide this country took, starting with LBJ, is being fixed 50+ years later by Trump. He was chosen.
Right. On. The. Money. In my lifetime, I can think of about four disasters, all brought about by presidents who failed. To wit, in order:
1: Lyndon Johnson's Great Society - many, many missteps, likely including involvement in the assassination of JFK, but the worst was the destruction of the black family via government promotion of bastardy and single-mother households. 80% of American black children have no father in the home. Want to see the result? Look no further than the nation's capital. Democrat.
2: Richard Nixon's removal of the US money from the gold standard. Fall, 1971. My college that year - including tuition, fees, lab fees, room and board? $1875 per YEAR. That 1971 dollar is now literally worth 3¢. Republican.
3: Jimma Cahtah. Aside from bending-over-and-greasing-up for the Ayatollah, et al, the Peanut Farmer produced and presided-over the worst period of dystopia, despair, dysfunction, and discontent ever seen in this nation, perhaps with the exception of the Great Depression of 1929 and the War of Yankee Aggression. Democrat.
4: Hussein Obama. Himself fully 50% white, the Great Racist, whose hatred of white people - which is to say, himself - not only tore off the healing scabs of old wounds, but set back race relations in this Great Nation at least 75 years. Communist.
My full-time tuition at Georgia State University when I started in fall 1972 was $150 per quarter. So, $450 per year. Plus books. It was NBD to put myself through school, working a low-wage 30 hrs per week job.
All true. I forgot about Nixon taking us off the gold standard and his historic opening up of China for the first time, although if we had a Fed that properly managed the money supply and interest rates, we could have managed the dollar without the gold standard.
Money is an interesting concept. It's worth taking some time to explore Just Exactly What Is Money? Not as dull a topic as you might think.
A few years ago I did an online course on Bitcoin from none other than Gary Gensler, later chairman of the SEC under Alleged President Joe Stolen. I slowly realized that Bitcoin has every characteristic of Sound Money, but most importantly is proof against gub'ment printing and debasement. No wonder Democrats and Republicans alike hate it - it cannot be manipulated. It's too cumbersome to use to buy a gallon of milk, but is perfect for settling billion-dollar sovereign debts. The Orange Man is accumulating a cache for just that purpose. How this guy knows so much about so many things is just baffling.
Not baffling at all if you believe and accept he was chosen by God to be his 'tool' on earth.....he is truly God's David, or Cyrus of the bible......he is definitely other worldly......truly grateful to be chosen to live in such times as this!!! God Bless us all.........
The Biblical fathers, prophets, and leaders were far from perfect and lived lives that had sinful chapters and big mistakes. Yet, God raised them up to be the leaders that changed the world.
I don't know what God has in store for DJT, but he is cut from the same cloth, and has the same imperfect past, but it seems God has elevated him to do great things for a higher purpose. He is obedient to his calling. He hasn't wavered.
totally agree......none of us are perfect.....many who followed Jesus were very far from perfect.....God always choses imperfect beings to do His bidding.....there is hope for us all...which really puts my mind to rest.......:).......
I've prided myself on being a lifelong atheist, but nothing has shaken that belief more than the head-turn, bullet-to-the-ear and subsequent administration. It's like Somebody got tired of F'ing around and decided to straighten this place out - and The Orange Man is His method.
Nothing that comes to pass does so outside the will of God. So it would be truthful to say that even the scum bag LBJ was precisely chosen by God. Now the question on why would God do such a thing is where we need to do our studying...
Too complex to explain in a blog post. Do your homework. Tutorials available online. It will take you at least an intense half-day to get the gist of it, more to understand well enough to use. The course I took from Gensler was two weeks. Mathematics is its backbone, but explanations do not require algebra skills to understand.
Addendum: I made a mistake. It was over 3 weeks, 24 lectures. It's one of the great free MIT Open Courseware courses. Here's the link:
Do my homework ? I am not the one making a big deal about " nothing " . There is no reality to crypto currency. It has no substance , can cease to exist at the blink of an eye .
It was Kissinger, a globalist, who pushed Nixon on China. I always found it strange that Nixon did many things aligned with the left, but they hated & destroyed him. JFK was more of a conservative than Nixon.
When George W. was running for president, his campaign ran an ad that featured a clip from a JFK speech where he explained how tax cuts helped both the economy & the people. Teddy Kennedy & Caroline Kennedy wrote the Bush campaign demanding that he not use JFK in his ads. I think JFK would be ashamed of what Caroline has become.
I recall that happening now that you mention it, and yes, I think he would have a few "dad words" for his kids.
JFK also had a distrust of the CIA - too big and too much control - and (rumored) that he planned to cut it's power back. It was already a "deep state' entity. It is also rumored he had concerns about the Fed and their control of the money supply. He didn't like that it was a private non-government organization of rich men. He wanted to change that "Jekyll Island" model.
JFK was more fiscally conservative than Trump. I'm not talking about moral conservatism.
With the possible exception of Jimmy Carter - who was not conservative - there hasn't been a president in the last 125 years that has had a clean moral slate that I think you are referring to (extra marital sex ie. Marilyn Monroe).
They all fail with the exception of Carter that I know of.
Nixon suffered from a desire to be liked by the media. DJT doesn’t- in fact, one of the greatest favors he’s done this country is expose the media for what it is and always has been -a propaganda arm of the elites and pharma-corporate deep state. I agree that Nixon severely blundered by going off the gold standard. In 1971, we lived in a 7-bedroom home in Scarsdale that we bought for $80k. My father worked for Sinclair oil for $21k. Life was great. The democrats and fed took over and it’s been downhill ever since.
Yup. I remember arguing with one of those birds about taking gravel from the creek to use on my farm driveway. "Can't do it." "Why?" "It'll make the water muddy." "You damn fool, how do you think the gravel GOT there? It got there when there was high water with enough velocity to carry stones - you know, when there was a rainstorm and the water was muddy." "I don't care; it'll make the creek muddy."
Nixon also advanced affirmative action, saying "We would not impose quotas, but would require federal contractors to show 'affirmative action' to meet the goals of increasing minority employment." The Nixon Admin's definition of affirmative action became the official policy of the US government.
Spot on recap. I have become fascinated by clips from the Nixon Foundation of late. Amazing what not being caught up in the ‘narrative’ does for one’s perspective. The question poised to Nixon dealt with why LBJ failed in regard to Vietnam & Nixon’s answer was very interesting. First, he said LBJ was a patriot. While patriotism is in the eye of the beholder, I certainly am a lot more sympathetic to LBJ’s idea than Obama’s. Next he said that LBJ’s main focus was on the Great Society & Vietnam was an annoying distraction. He referenced Churchill’s book on WWI, which Nixon thought was the better of the 2 accounts, in which he said a leader can have a policy of audacity or one of prudence, but not both. Of course this observation was not original. While it may seem that Trump is trying to go down both lanes, hence the optics of the B-52s while on the red carpet, his ultimate goal (winning) is the real driver here. He learned the lesson of Vietnam- wars are a waste of resources.
Btw, while no fan of Nixon, my dad told me that Nixon should have been impeached solely for taking us off the gold standard.
Yep. An engineer never stops being an engineer. When I see a smart bomb go down the center of a high-rise, first I think about the people killed, but what really sickens me is thinking of all the hundreds of thousands of hours' brutal work that went into making that building - all the concrete, steel, copper - not to mention excavation work. All of that AND the bomb ground into worthless powder in an instant.
This is a good time to ask, "Why were we in Vietnam?" Wasn't it General Douglas MacArthur that pleaded with Washington DC to allow him to go through China and Russia and take out the communist while he was there with the men and machinery at the end of WW2? They flatly refused his pleas then from 1945 til 1965 the neocons all of a sudden wanted to root out the communist in Viet Nam. Be it know that 22% of the worlds REE is in Viet Nam. Let that sink in.
SPOT ON!!!! Thankyou for your excellent and insightful comment....having lived through it all at 80 years old....so what you say is totally true!!! (LBJ was part of the cabal that arranged and orchestrated JFK's murder, there was a reason Jackie was terrified of him....a totally evil man.)
Our president is unbelievable! He has the stamina of a 25 year old. A very high IQ. A visionary. An accomplished businessman! A servant leader. A deal maker nonpareil. The courage of a warrior. A family man. Amazing resilience and perseverance. A good sense of humor. Believer in God. I pray he has accepted Jesus as his savior. America and the world are blessed to have Donald J Trump! May God continue to bless him and guide him!!
That is my nightly prayer for PDJT and his family and for JDV and his family. The letter that Melania wrote to Putin was nothing short of beautiful as is she - through and through
I've often wondered if all of it is just "Dinner and a Show" By that I mean all the presidents and their wives. Why have we not seen the JFK files, The J6 files. The 47 floor building that nier a plane struck.
Can't see a Little Z and Mr. P meeting going well. But since they are both of diminutive physical stature maybe they should just duke it out. At this point the Ukrainian as well as the Russian people would probably be fine with this. I'd put my money on Mr. P.
Bandwidth. The Tech Bros call it bandwidth - the ability to "grok" an expansive array of ideas, keep them all in one's head simultaneously, talk about any one or EVERY one of them at any time and keep track of one's place without having it all fall to chaos. At one time, Bill Gates was considered the best example, but The Orange Man - at 79 - makes him look like a child playing in the mud.
I don't know what happened with this guy, but every thinking human being on this planet should be grateful that he's the man sitting behind the Resolute Desk.
Regarding the survey, let's see - Argentina? El Salvador? Argentina? El Salvador? I like both. Anyway, my respect for President Trump continues to grow. If he can, and I personally believe he can, pull off one of the greatest peace negotiations of the modern era, and while doing it, pull together incredible financial, industrial, and growth opportunities for the US and many other countries, how could he not be, perhaps, the greatest president since, well, any of the other great presidents we have had in this country - like Washington and Lincoln. We are carefully treading on unprecedented times, which could change the WORLD for the better for the significant future. God bless all those who love and support the United States of America.
Good post, Don. Someone finally steps up to try and solve all these resolvable problems (not just Ukraine). The ankle-biters have been furiously barking of late, "yeah but, yeah but, yeah but".
The contrast of the two photos is illustrative. In the earlier photo, all the Euro-weenies close to assaulting an implacable Pres. Trump. Note that only Abe (of Japan) is standing with his arms crossed, in solidarity with Pres. Trump. The world mourns his loss and aren't we incredibly blessed. that the assassin's bullet did not succeed against Pres. Trump?
This quagmire that DJT is doing his best to resolve is what happens when being confronted by a nuclear armed miscreant. If Putin didn’t have the nuclear card this war would have been over early on with offensive weapons having been supplied to the Ukrainians by Europe and America. It’s a perfect example of why Israel insisted that the insane mullahs of Iran never get a nuke! And sure enough our Commander in Chief took care of that.
Ukraine cannot win this war and is indeed a victim but this is reality.
Ukraine is a victim because the CIA and State Department initially decided to remove a Russia friendly Ukrainian president. Zelensky is no victim. He allowed the Azov Battalion to continue to fight the civilian militia in the Donbas, where ethnic Russians live and who wanted to be part of Ukraine but rule themselves. He agreed to what he was told would be a three month war with a country seen by Russian "expert", granddaughter of Trotskyite immigrants, as a "gas station masquerading as a country" in the goal of Balkanizing Russia for its minerals. In the fourth month, he could have told the US that he was out, he could have honored the Minsk Agreement which had been made between Kiev and the Donbas. He could have told Boris Johnson "no" at the 2022 Istanbul "minsk 2". He could have done a lot of things. He is no victim. He promised the people of Ukraine peace and gave them the exact opposite. He needs to be sent to Betty Ford Institute. He is a doper and that is what speaks. He will be lucky if he lives after the peace deal is done...the Azon Battalion will take care of that.
Ukrainian president Zelensky is an failed actor with a cash stash somewhere; Putin is a thug that would put a bullet in your head without remorse; the French are out of white flags to wave. President Trump is not only making America great again but the world is going to be a better place.
Damn, I almost said 'wife' before correcting it to 'spouse'. The transgender crap is having an adverse effect on all of us when we have to select very specific words to use.
I realize that Macron's spouse claims to have had 3 children (by a prior marriage, I think), but that alone is not yet sufficient to remove my skepticism about her. There was one photo in particular of her in a pink or orange bikini, and there was something very prominent in those tiny bikini pants. I would need to see a DNA test of her children to be convinced they were actually her children. A DNA test would also confirm her own sex. Just do it.
As an aside, I'm not sure what to think about Candace Owens. She did so well for so long, but it is puzzling how to assess her recent supposed anti-semitism (though I haven't carefully looked at what Candace is actually saying), and her doubling down on Brigitte Macron. Candace is not a fool. And you know the Left is viciously out for her.
"I would need to see a DNA test of her children to be convinced they were actually her children. A DNA test would also confirm her own sex."
Well, if the children are from a prior marriage (and s/he is a genetic male) the children could have his/her DNA so that may not resolve the rumor.
However, your second point is spot-on! S/he could resolve this whole issue with a DNA test or by revealing one small data point from his/her medical records even though she has no obligation to do so.
And we'd have to be able to have confidence in the lab/doctor who does the DNA testing on her. I'm sure they could get some hack to say anything. So it would need to be a truly credible, independent DNA test.
This is basic "rules of evidence" stuff. You're right, she could end this in a minute if she wanted. Every moment of delay only increases the skepticism.
Marlon, I think it does matter alot, because if the allegations are true, it means there has been a massive deliberate deception, and this is important in the case of a President of a country.
Also, because it indicates a deeper system or network of deception and pedophilia among the leadership circles in several countries, which, if true, is very important.
The allegations are, like LuAnn said, "jaw dropping", and for us normal people, really hard to imagine as true. But we cannot dismiss them, because we have just lived thru, in the US, a dementia patient passed off as President for 4 years with no one in the country knowing who was actually running the country. Plus we've had deliberate, organized election fraud. Plus major distortion of every angle of the COVID situation. Plus treasonous conspiracy by the Obama circle and Hillary to bring down an elected President. So, I still feel that I have not seen definitive evidence on the Macron situation.
Candace has gone well over the deep end, marinating herself in some of the most insane and blood libelous lies with regard to Israel it makes your head spin, amongst a plethora of other totally deranged commentary.
Don’t know, short of divine intervention, how she can ever come back from it, or if she even wants to.
I haven't paid close attention to Candace in the past year or so, though earlier I had, and even bought her autobiography. For her to make such a switch to the pariah she's become lately, there has to be some further factor behind the curtain that is in operation.
I am shaking my head at what Candace and Tucker have become. Very disappointing and there is no excuse for their anti-Semitism, either overt or subtle.
https://substack.com/profile/1852125-elizabeth-nickson -- Canadian writer Elizabeth Nickson agrees with Candace about Brigitte Macron. I honestly don't know, but read Nickson's substack on this topic. It's quite jaw dropping.
I did look at this, LuAnn, including both the abbreviated Poussard interview in Nickson's Substack, and the full interview with Poussard at Candace's website. Both Candace and Poussard are calm, clear, reasonable. Candace is her normal old self.
At this point, I think the burden of proof is on Brigitte Macron.
I agree and I thought I wouldn't agree with Elizabeth Nixon when I started reading her Substack on Brigitte Macron. But the burden of proof is now on the French "lady." What was jaw dropping and disturbing for me was all the Luciferian references and the people allegedly (?) involved in this. It's not the first time that Nickson has written about these Luciferians (I don't know what else to call them.) and it is very disturbing to me because children are involved, if true. Given what we lived through during COVID, a mass hysteria event for sure, I wouldn't be surprised if these claims are true or have grains of truth. Evil has shown its many faces clearly in recent years and it's time to stop looking away.
I love the winning!!!!! And the media being constantly exposed as lying and manipulating facts —-they’re not getting away with it anymore. The warmongers sure are quiet. Don’t you know the neocons and their MIC pals are downtrodden? 🤗
I have a friend who is a Milwaukee Brewers fan and a Trump fan... a few days ago he texted me after the Brewers won their 14th straight game and Trump kept on rolling along and winning ... "I love winning" he said. Classic.
No...it is not a joke...in fact, if Medvedev were still in power, the nukes would have been flying a long time ago. Unless Medvedev is Putin's junk yard dog but I don't think so...Medvedev is Putin's John McCain/Lindsey Graham/all the war hawks. Putin is a lawyer and is pragmatic. You need to do a lot of homework and not in the MSM resource library which has done the same thing to Putin that it has been doing to Trump: Demonizing him...creating a boogeyman. You have no idea what Putin has done for Russia and how he dealt with the oligarchs and how he has stabilized the ruble. He is a nationalist, although the Russians do not use that word.
I totally agree. He has kept Russia for Russians—not allowing the Muslim hordes in, which is killing Europe. For that, he needs to be lauded. He is a great Russian historian and a total nationalist, that’s why he and Trump understand each other.
Putin is alot of things, most of them NOT good....but he loves his people and they love him.....he also loved his very religious mother who said the rosary everyday......God is now using both DJT and Putin for His purposes.......we shall soon see how to all ends.....God ALWAYS wins and He has told us repeatedly we have ALREADY won!!
Actually, my homework on Russia goes back longer, to the robberies, mass-murders, deportations and famines that Soviet Russia has inflicted on Ukraine throughout history; and no, I did not get that from the "MSM", and no, the tiger does not lose his stripes, and no, anybody who blames the Ukrainians for not wanting a return of that kind of oppression should consider his own sanity.
And about those flying nukes ... there's a lot of doubt that those even would have worked, given the corruption, sloth and neglect typical of Russia's armed forces. Although I admit, nobody can afford to take a chance on THAT ... and yet, going by the way the war went, even Putin himself seemed ignorant of the real condition of his armed forces.
Finally, how Putin "stabilized the ruble" -- that's GOT to be a joke.
Since Putin himself has said that the disintegration of the Soviet Union was a huge tragedy, I'm not so sure about all that. And my skepticism is enhanced by watching the head honcho of the Russian Orthodox church, the one with the long beard and the cross on top of his head, who is forever cheering on Putin, is a former KGB man himself.
I voted for Bukele for no other reason than the amazing prison he built. There are a lot of people in this country who belong there. And I’m not just talking about illegals.
I don't think any of this would have happened if Trump had been reelected in 2020. Because, as he said himself, in that case Putin would not have started this mess. (I'm ignoring that very likely the real outcome of the 2020 election was Trump's reelection; but in hindsight, the mail-in Biden interval may have been for the best because in 2024 Trump came back roaring, loaded for bear.)
But now the devil is in the details: how much of Ukraine Putin gets to keep, does Ukraine get any security guarantees, POW exchanges, indemnities for Ukraine, will the thousands or tens-of-thousands abducted Ukrainian children be repatriated, provided they remember their own names ...
Creating counter-factuals is always fun, but the nature of reality is that it is only the situation that exists which provides opportunity to act. I agree that today's reality is impossible to conceive looking from the perspective of 2020; it could have been better, but could have been worse and we'll never know. However, I truly believe that Trump's survival of the assassination attempt in Butler, PA and subsequent election has given him a quasi-messianic self-image. I do not mean that as an insult, but rather in the sense that he truly believes (as he has said publicly) that he was chosen for a purpose, that purpose being to set America and the world aright. No leader can be successful without a belief in his leadership. Churchill truly believed he was appointed (anointed?) to lead Britain out of its darkest hour and because he had this belief, he pushed through to see his vision materialize when others would have shrunk back from the task. George Washington also shared a belief in his Divine appointment, which gave him the ability to withstand eight years of unbelievable hardship and military defeats until ultimate victory was won. I believe Trump falls into the same category and despite all the adversity he has faced and will continue to face, he will persevere because he believes that is his destiny. He is in that way a Colossus astride history and will be remembered as such.
Well-said, even though Hitler too credited "Providence" for his surviving more than one assassination attempt. Which makes me wonder: might the Lord have saved Hitler a bit longer to really rub it in on the Germans? As to Trump being a "Colossus astride history", yes, and the most impressive aspect of that is that it has not gone to his head. He is still Trump.
And what about the BILLLION$ of US dollars that are stashed away in foreign bank accounts...including many held by our own politicians... would love to see a lot of that money "repatriated"!
I was born in Va in 1953. The older I get the closer that war gets to me. What a mess. The worst government in the world is the two party system, besides all the others.
The Castrati all filed into the Whitehouse behind their Dominatrix, Von der Devil, and their little pet, Zelensky, and got to play pretend that they matter one whit in the pursuit of actual peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Merz, the German Putz, managed to do what he consistently does best, say the wrong thing at the wrong time; Starmer stuttered a bunch of utterly incomprehensible nonsense; Little Napoleon got to remind everyone how important he thinks he is; and puppet Z, now wearing his electrified choke collar-coat, tried nervously to remember all his lines hoping he wouldn’t get zapped for falling out of line.
But Trump ruled the day, ever the gracious host, helping to make the swallowing of their medicine a bit more palatable.
The thought of Putin and Zelensky meeting solo does give me great pause.
Z is no match for Putin, and an unpredictable, not particularly bright, weak man.
But hope springs eternal, and whatever deal Trump and Putin began to hammer out in Alaska is where this will all end up, regardless all the pomp and circumstance and window dressing it comes wrapped in.
When that twit Metz said he can’t see any peace without a cease fire first I about lost it.
This man represents a country that has started 2 World Wars and has policies in his country that has led to an invasion of Muslims into all of Europe. The Muslim invasion is ruining the continent.
Listening to him about anything is beyond foolish.
I can't help but think Churchill was right when he complained about the Germans, that,
"... they're either at your feet or at your neck." I prefer them to be at America's feet.
Steve, I am an anglo with ties to Wales. My family were some of the first English to come to Virginia. I have been studying a lot of history these past 10 years and what I have learned is that the Neocons get to write the books and own the publishers much the way our federal government runs the news media so remember that when you read history books. Always research the life of the author. While I am not a scholar I'm not an idiot either. I don't think we will ever know the truth behind the JFK assassination.
I think the truth is already out there , there's so much other BS floating around it is obscured from sight
Darrel..how about his life..all ever said was a lie..
Are you speaking of JFK? if so do you believe the affairs with Monroe were lies? I know she committed Arkancide.
“D”..the words any politician was left out of my comment to you..but they do all lie and I’m no politician…
Of course they do. So do all other humans. It just that some try harder not to and when they get caught they will admit they lied.
Makes me wonder: are Euroweenies the predominant cultural/political force in the EU (and UK) as a delayed reaction to so many of their strong young men being slaughtered in the world wars?
Because none of it makes any sense to me. How do you go from the sort of national pride that inspired the Germans to almost succeed in conquering Europe, and the resolute "hell fucking no you won't" indomitability of the English as a response, to Keir Starmer and this Metz fool as national leaders whose effete weenie-ness mostly represents the will of their people?
A direct result of apathy to an assault on white men in particular but all men in general ,hence the phrase /toxic masculinity. The left backed by funding via WEF and USAID created the wokeness we are just now rejecting under the leadership of PDJT. I am of the opinion the U.K.,France and Germany are all lost to Muslim occupiers but there is hope for the rest of Europe under leaders such as Orban and Meloni.
As sure as my roommate in college, Donald John Travers, was called Don Juan, DJT was AKA also. A main reason why the lunatic left hates him w/the heat of a thousand suns. He’s the working man’s Adonis.
You're waking up..... on the right track. Do you subscribe to Tuckers TCN ?
Germany ceased to be a legitimate friend to the US at least starting with Angela Merkel (2005 - 2021). She bridged post 9-11 to the COVID Vax.
Germany is far from a friend to the US today. My trust level to Germany is only a notch above that which I would have for Hitler.
I would vote to close all military bases there and a few others in Europe without removing our presence - and influence - completely.
There is a lot that went on in Europe from 1900-1915 that we have not been privy to. I think we need to take a closer look at the Treaty of Versailles and the Nuremberg trails. I think this is when the sh_t hit the fan. Not at the assassination of JFK. Then there is the instant collapse of a 47 story building several blocks from the Twin Towers that did not get struck by a plane on 9-11. Isn't politics messy?
The data is in front of our eyes. It is very risky to expose it and ask the hard questions.
08/19/25: Not even about where to have lunch ("In zee bunker!")
EU's Useless-sala:
“... We had the largest trade deal ever ... Stop the killing."
I never thought she'd be ENTHUSIASTIC about the Trump tariffs ("the killing") that the Brussels pinheads a year ago never thought possible.
All these puppets surrounding Trump yesterday are the ass-kissing, head-office ciphers satirized in Scott Adams's Dilbert (comic strip).
nailed it
08/19/25: Thanks. Not even a Geek Squad running an internet dating service would want anything to do with any of them save the vivacious lady from Italy.
Agreed but, you know, we can't say anything bad about Metz or "them" because we would be branded "Nazis" .... ponder that.
08/19/25: Call a Nazi a "Nazi" --- Voila! You're the Nazi.
As I saw this and other summits play out live and in person, two things struck me. First, when you stand for truth without a selfish motive, it exposes those who don't stand for truth and do have a selfish motive. Every single one of the dignitaries yesterday (even Meloni) have blindly followed the NATO/EU clique and do not have a desire to step away from that immoral, untruthful, self-serving group. They are stepping away now only because Trump has exerted the muscle of trade over them. Second, There is an 'old school' of politicians. Reagan was in it, as was Nixon, and JFK. Trump couldn't have been in it with such a short and late career in politics, but he reincarnated the template.
This may be going way out on a limb, but JFK wanted to do some big things that were 'taboo' because he saw a better world at the end of that tunnel. So does Trump. IMO both men were hit with an assassin's bullet because of it.
What would this world be today if JFK had served his terms preventing LBJ's shoe-in as POTUS? We could have gone from Kennedy to Nixon, and Vietnam would have been over by 1968.
The slide this country took, starting with LBJ, is being fixed 50+ years later by Trump. He was chosen.
Right. On. The. Money. In my lifetime, I can think of about four disasters, all brought about by presidents who failed. To wit, in order:
1: Lyndon Johnson's Great Society - many, many missteps, likely including involvement in the assassination of JFK, but the worst was the destruction of the black family via government promotion of bastardy and single-mother households. 80% of American black children have no father in the home. Want to see the result? Look no further than the nation's capital. Democrat.
2: Richard Nixon's removal of the US money from the gold standard. Fall, 1971. My college that year - including tuition, fees, lab fees, room and board? $1875 per YEAR. That 1971 dollar is now literally worth 3¢. Republican.
3: Jimma Cahtah. Aside from bending-over-and-greasing-up for the Ayatollah, et al, the Peanut Farmer produced and presided-over the worst period of dystopia, despair, dysfunction, and discontent ever seen in this nation, perhaps with the exception of the Great Depression of 1929 and the War of Yankee Aggression. Democrat.
4: Hussein Obama. Himself fully 50% white, the Great Racist, whose hatred of white people - which is to say, himself - not only tore off the healing scabs of old wounds, but set back race relations in this Great Nation at least 75 years. Communist.
My full-time tuition at Georgia State University when I started in fall 1972 was $150 per quarter. So, $450 per year. Plus books. It was NBD to put myself through school, working a low-wage 30 hrs per week job.
I worked in the WV coal mines during my summers. Guess what I pocketed? Yep, about $1800 - enough to pay for school the next three quarters.
All true. I forgot about Nixon taking us off the gold standard and his historic opening up of China for the first time, although if we had a Fed that properly managed the money supply and interest rates, we could have managed the dollar without the gold standard.
Money is an interesting concept. It's worth taking some time to explore Just Exactly What Is Money? Not as dull a topic as you might think.
A few years ago I did an online course on Bitcoin from none other than Gary Gensler, later chairman of the SEC under Alleged President Joe Stolen. I slowly realized that Bitcoin has every characteristic of Sound Money, but most importantly is proof against gub'ment printing and debasement. No wonder Democrats and Republicans alike hate it - it cannot be manipulated. It's too cumbersome to use to buy a gallon of milk, but is perfect for settling billion-dollar sovereign debts. The Orange Man is accumulating a cache for just that purpose. How this guy knows so much about so many things is just baffling.
Not baffling at all if you believe and accept he was chosen by God to be his 'tool' on earth.....he is truly God's David, or Cyrus of the bible......he is definitely other worldly......truly grateful to be chosen to live in such times as this!!! God Bless us all.........
The Biblical fathers, prophets, and leaders were far from perfect and lived lives that had sinful chapters and big mistakes. Yet, God raised them up to be the leaders that changed the world.
I don't know what God has in store for DJT, but he is cut from the same cloth, and has the same imperfect past, but it seems God has elevated him to do great things for a higher purpose. He is obedient to his calling. He hasn't wavered.
totally agree......none of us are perfect.....many who followed Jesus were very far from perfect.....God always choses imperfect beings to do His bidding.....there is hope for us all...which really puts my mind to rest.......:).......
I've prided myself on being a lifelong atheist, but nothing has shaken that belief more than the head-turn, bullet-to-the-ear and subsequent administration. It's like Somebody got tired of F'ing around and decided to straighten this place out - and The Orange Man is His method.
Nothing that comes to pass does so outside the will of God. So it would be truthful to say that even the scum bag LBJ was precisely chosen by God. Now the question on why would God do such a thing is where we need to do our studying...
A small part of me still thinks it is the second biggest scam in history. Second only to Social Security.
Can't be manipulated ? Explain its origin and existence please .
Too complex to explain in a blog post. Do your homework. Tutorials available online. It will take you at least an intense half-day to get the gist of it, more to understand well enough to use. The course I took from Gensler was two weeks. Mathematics is its backbone, but explanations do not require algebra skills to understand.
Addendum: I made a mistake. It was over 3 weeks, 24 lectures. It's one of the great free MIT Open Courseware courses. Here's the link:

Do my homework ? I am not the one making a big deal about " nothing " . There is no reality to crypto currency. It has no substance , can cease to exist at the blink of an eye .
It was Kissinger, a globalist, who pushed Nixon on China. I always found it strange that Nixon did many things aligned with the left, but they hated & destroyed him. JFK was more of a conservative than Nixon.
I think a good case could be made that JFK was measurably more conservative than Trump.
When George W. was running for president, his campaign ran an ad that featured a clip from a JFK speech where he explained how tax cuts helped both the economy & the people. Teddy Kennedy & Caroline Kennedy wrote the Bush campaign demanding that he not use JFK in his ads. I think JFK would be ashamed of what Caroline has become.
I recall that happening now that you mention it, and yes, I think he would have a few "dad words" for his kids.
JFK also had a distrust of the CIA - too big and too much control - and (rumored) that he planned to cut it's power back. It was already a "deep state' entity. It is also rumored he had concerns about the Fed and their control of the money supply. He didn't like that it was a private non-government organization of rich men. He wanted to change that "Jekyll Island" model.
Are we surprised they took him out?
Depends on how you factor in JFK 's lack of morals .
JFK was more fiscally conservative than Trump. I'm not talking about moral conservatism.
With the possible exception of Jimmy Carter - who was not conservative - there hasn't been a president in the last 125 years that has had a clean moral slate that I think you are referring to (extra marital sex ie. Marilyn Monroe).
They all fail with the exception of Carter that I know of.
Nixon suffered from a desire to be liked by the media. DJT doesn’t- in fact, one of the greatest favors he’s done this country is expose the media for what it is and always has been -a propaganda arm of the elites and pharma-corporate deep state. I agree that Nixon severely blundered by going off the gold standard. In 1971, we lived in a 7-bedroom home in Scarsdale that we bought for $80k. My father worked for Sinclair oil for $21k. Life was great. The democrats and fed took over and it’s been downhill ever since.
He also created the EPA. Look what that did to this country!
The left bastardizes every well intentioned idea. The concept of the EPA isn't bad in itself. It's what leftist leaders and NGOs did with it.
It must be vaporized at this point.
Yup. I remember arguing with one of those birds about taking gravel from the creek to use on my farm driveway. "Can't do it." "Why?" "It'll make the water muddy." "You damn fool, how do you think the gravel GOT there? It got there when there was high water with enough velocity to carry stones - you know, when there was a rainstorm and the water was muddy." "I don't care; it'll make the creek muddy."
Nixon also advanced affirmative action, saying "We would not impose quotas, but would require federal contractors to show 'affirmative action' to meet the goals of increasing minority employment." The Nixon Admin's definition of affirmative action became the official policy of the US government.
Yes. The concept of affirmative action became reverse discrimination, which it was never intended to become.
Spot on recap. I have become fascinated by clips from the Nixon Foundation of late. Amazing what not being caught up in the ‘narrative’ does for one’s perspective. The question poised to Nixon dealt with why LBJ failed in regard to Vietnam & Nixon’s answer was very interesting. First, he said LBJ was a patriot. While patriotism is in the eye of the beholder, I certainly am a lot more sympathetic to LBJ’s idea than Obama’s. Next he said that LBJ’s main focus was on the Great Society & Vietnam was an annoying distraction. He referenced Churchill’s book on WWI, which Nixon thought was the better of the 2 accounts, in which he said a leader can have a policy of audacity or one of prudence, but not both. Of course this observation was not original. While it may seem that Trump is trying to go down both lanes, hence the optics of the B-52s while on the red carpet, his ultimate goal (winning) is the real driver here. He learned the lesson of Vietnam- wars are a waste of resources.
Btw, while no fan of Nixon, my dad told me that Nixon should have been impeached solely for taking us off the gold standard.
Yep. An engineer never stops being an engineer. When I see a smart bomb go down the center of a high-rise, first I think about the people killed, but what really sickens me is thinking of all the hundreds of thousands of hours' brutal work that went into making that building - all the concrete, steel, copper - not to mention excavation work. All of that AND the bomb ground into worthless powder in an instant.
This is a good time to ask, "Why were we in Vietnam?" Wasn't it General Douglas MacArthur that pleaded with Washington DC to allow him to go through China and Russia and take out the communist while he was there with the men and machinery at the end of WW2? They flatly refused his pleas then from 1945 til 1965 the neocons all of a sudden wanted to root out the communist in Viet Nam. Be it know that 22% of the worlds REE is in Viet Nam. Let that sink in.
AGREE with everything you stated....thankyou!
SPOT ON!!!! Thankyou for your excellent and insightful comment....having lived through it all at 80 years old....so what you say is totally true!!! (LBJ was part of the cabal that arranged and orchestrated JFK's murder, there was a reason Jackie was terrified of him....a totally evil man.)
He would group other women in front of his wife. He was an alcoholic as well.
Bobby Kennedy was equally as much of a threat to the one world order crowd embedded within the government. He had to go too.
This comment, and the replies, feel like a graduate school seminar in four minutes. Thank you Suber, Shrugged, Willis, Nikki, et al. Peace is.
Nailed it Shrugged !!
Imagine what our country would be had we not self destructed in 1861.
Our president is unbelievable! He has the stamina of a 25 year old. A very high IQ. A visionary. An accomplished businessman! A servant leader. A deal maker nonpareil. The courage of a warrior. A family man. Amazing resilience and perseverance. A good sense of humor. Believer in God. I pray he has accepted Jesus as his savior. America and the world are blessed to have Donald J Trump! May God continue to bless him and guide him!!
That is my nightly prayer for PDJT and his family and for JDV and his family. The letter that Melania wrote to Putin was nothing short of beautiful as is she - through and through
She is definitely one of the finest First Ladies our country has had. Certainly the top one since I began voting in 1972!
Laura Bush was excellent too.
Laura Bush and their daughters were/are libtards through and through.
Hilarious.... have a great week. For the record, I was not commenting about her daughter.
Isn't the contrast absolutely jarring?
Trump as masterful world leader vs pathetic vacant-eyed freeze-frame FJB wandering around on stage, or Trump vs cackling fool DEI Kamala
Gorgeous, glamorous, multilingual good-hearted Melania vs shrill, scoldy, fashion catastrophe horrorshow fake-doctorate Jill
It boggles the mind, this switcheroo from ridiculous, embarrassing, ugly, and stupid to supreme competence. I'm glad I have lived to see this.
We saw this day one of #47 in an EO closing the borders. Didnt need a new law,just a new president who loved America.
Plus I’m feeling much better after reading Jeff Childers just now as he has given more substance to the security guarantees
Cookie. What did Jeff Childers write? 🧐
I've often wondered if all of it is just "Dinner and a Show" By that I mean all the presidents and their wives. Why have we not seen the JFK files, The J6 files. The 47 floor building that nier a plane struck.
He is a very stable genius. And he has beautiful hair.
Can't see a Little Z and Mr. P meeting going well. But since they are both of diminutive physical stature maybe they should just duke it out. At this point the Ukrainian as well as the Russian people would probably be fine with this. I'd put my money on Mr. P.
Unless Shorty fell out of his hotel window the night before the big event
Which one?
And/or, either would be somewhat fitting.
Bandwidth. The Tech Bros call it bandwidth - the ability to "grok" an expansive array of ideas, keep them all in one's head simultaneously, talk about any one or EVERY one of them at any time and keep track of one's place without having it all fall to chaos. At one time, Bill Gates was considered the best example, but The Orange Man - at 79 - makes him look like a child playing in the mud.
I don't know what happened with this guy, but every thinking human being on this planet should be grateful that he's the man sitting behind the Resolute Desk.
Just the thought of someone like Harris sitting behind that desk would make me feel sick.
Regarding the survey, let's see - Argentina? El Salvador? Argentina? El Salvador? I like both. Anyway, my respect for President Trump continues to grow. If he can, and I personally believe he can, pull off one of the greatest peace negotiations of the modern era, and while doing it, pull together incredible financial, industrial, and growth opportunities for the US and many other countries, how could he not be, perhaps, the greatest president since, well, any of the other great presidents we have had in this country - like Washington and Lincoln. We are carefully treading on unprecedented times, which could change the WORLD for the better for the significant future. God bless all those who love and support the United States of America.
Good post, Don. Someone finally steps up to try and solve all these resolvable problems (not just Ukraine). The ankle-biters have been furiously barking of late, "yeah but, yeah but, yeah but".
The contrast of the two photos is illustrative. In the earlier photo, all the Euro-weenies close to assaulting an implacable Pres. Trump. Note that only Abe (of Japan) is standing with his arms crossed, in solidarity with Pres. Trump. The world mourns his loss and aren't we incredibly blessed. that the assassin's bullet did not succeed against Pres. Trump?
This quagmire that DJT is doing his best to resolve is what happens when being confronted by a nuclear armed miscreant. If Putin didn’t have the nuclear card this war would have been over early on with offensive weapons having been supplied to the Ukrainians by Europe and America. It’s a perfect example of why Israel insisted that the insane mullahs of Iran never get a nuke! And sure enough our Commander in Chief took care of that.
Ukraine cannot win this war and is indeed a victim but this is reality.
Ukraine is a victim because the CIA and State Department initially decided to remove a Russia friendly Ukrainian president. Zelensky is no victim. He allowed the Azov Battalion to continue to fight the civilian militia in the Donbas, where ethnic Russians live and who wanted to be part of Ukraine but rule themselves. He agreed to what he was told would be a three month war with a country seen by Russian "expert", granddaughter of Trotskyite immigrants, as a "gas station masquerading as a country" in the goal of Balkanizing Russia for its minerals. In the fourth month, he could have told the US that he was out, he could have honored the Minsk Agreement which had been made between Kiev and the Donbas. He could have told Boris Johnson "no" at the 2022 Istanbul "minsk 2". He could have done a lot of things. He is no victim. He promised the people of Ukraine peace and gave them the exact opposite. He needs to be sent to Betty Ford Institute. He is a doper and that is what speaks. He will be lucky if he lives after the peace deal is done...the Azon Battalion will take care of that.
Ukrainian president Zelensky is an failed actor with a cash stash somewhere; Putin is a thug that would put a bullet in your head without remorse; the French are out of white flags to wave. President Trump is not only making America great again but the world is going to be a better place.
Agree. And, Macron's spouse is a man.
Damn, I almost said 'wife' before correcting it to 'spouse'. The transgender crap is having an adverse effect on all of us when we have to select very specific words to use.
I realize that Macron's spouse claims to have had 3 children (by a prior marriage, I think), but that alone is not yet sufficient to remove my skepticism about her. There was one photo in particular of her in a pink or orange bikini, and there was something very prominent in those tiny bikini pants. I would need to see a DNA test of her children to be convinced they were actually her children. A DNA test would also confirm her own sex. Just do it.
As an aside, I'm not sure what to think about Candace Owens. She did so well for so long, but it is puzzling how to assess her recent supposed anti-semitism (though I haven't carefully looked at what Candace is actually saying), and her doubling down on Brigitte Macron. Candace is not a fool. And you know the Left is viciously out for her.
"I would need to see a DNA test of her children to be convinced they were actually her children. A DNA test would also confirm her own sex."
Well, if the children are from a prior marriage (and s/he is a genetic male) the children could have his/her DNA so that may not resolve the rumor.
However, your second point is spot-on! S/he could resolve this whole issue with a DNA test or by revealing one small data point from his/her medical records even though she has no obligation to do so.
S/he unwilling to do it.
I wonder why that is?
And we'd have to be able to have confidence in the lab/doctor who does the DNA testing on her. I'm sure they could get some hack to say anything. So it would need to be a truly credible, independent DNA test.
This is basic "rules of evidence" stuff. You're right, she could end this in a minute if she wanted. Every moment of delay only increases the skepticism.
Nailed it
Who really cares what the Macrons do or are in private?? asking for a friend.
Marlon, I think it does matter alot, because if the allegations are true, it means there has been a massive deliberate deception, and this is important in the case of a President of a country.
Also, because it indicates a deeper system or network of deception and pedophilia among the leadership circles in several countries, which, if true, is very important.
The allegations are, like LuAnn said, "jaw dropping", and for us normal people, really hard to imagine as true. But we cannot dismiss them, because we have just lived thru, in the US, a dementia patient passed off as President for 4 years with no one in the country knowing who was actually running the country. Plus we've had deliberate, organized election fraud. Plus major distortion of every angle of the COVID situation. Plus treasonous conspiracy by the Obama circle and Hillary to bring down an elected President. So, I still feel that I have not seen definitive evidence on the Macron situation.
Candace has gone well over the deep end, marinating herself in some of the most insane and blood libelous lies with regard to Israel it makes your head spin, amongst a plethora of other totally deranged commentary.
Don’t know, short of divine intervention, how she can ever come back from it, or if she even wants to.
I haven't paid close attention to Candace in the past year or so, though earlier I had, and even bought her autobiography. For her to make such a switch to the pariah she's become lately, there has to be some further factor behind the curtain that is in operation.
She’s lost her ever loving mind.
Candace is way deep in the weeds.
AMEN Suzie !!
It's like Obama & Big Mike's 2 kids they rented.
Same story as Macron. Different actors.
🤔
I am shaking my head at what Candace and Tucker have become. Very disappointing and there is no excuse for their anti-Semitism, either overt or subtle.
https://substack.com/profile/1852125-elizabeth-nickson -- Canadian writer Elizabeth Nickson agrees with Candace about Brigitte Macron. I honestly don't know, but read Nickson's substack on this topic. It's quite jaw dropping.
I did look at this, LuAnn, including both the abbreviated Poussard interview in Nickson's Substack, and the full interview with Poussard at Candace's website. Both Candace and Poussard are calm, clear, reasonable. Candace is her normal old self.
At this point, I think the burden of proof is on Brigitte Macron.
I agree and I thought I wouldn't agree with Elizabeth Nixon when I started reading her Substack on Brigitte Macron. But the burden of proof is now on the French "lady." What was jaw dropping and disturbing for me was all the Luciferian references and the people allegedly (?) involved in this. It's not the first time that Nickson has written about these Luciferians (I don't know what else to call them.) and it is very disturbing to me because children are involved, if true. Given what we lived through during COVID, a mass hysteria event for sure, I wouldn't be surprised if these claims are true or have grains of truth. Evil has shown its many faces clearly in recent years and it's time to stop looking away.
Still not sure about Macron 100% - I keep changing my mind -- but the allegations need to be considered.
Go Candice. I would not have said this three weeks ago.
Are you sure you've not mistaken Zelensky with AOC?
I love the winning!!!!! And the media being constantly exposed as lying and manipulating facts —-they’re not getting away with it anymore. The warmongers sure are quiet. Don’t you know the neocons and their MIC pals are downtrodden? 🤗
I have a friend who is a Milwaukee Brewers fan and a Trump fan... a few days ago he texted me after the Brewers won their 14th straight game and Trump kept on rolling along and winning ... "I love winning" he said. Classic.
Comey, Clinton, Obama et al hardest hit
Amazing how taking away the Deep State’s piggy bank changes minds.
Case could be made for Putin being the second best world leader; defending western civ and opposing WEF.
Is that some kind of joke?
No...it is not a joke...in fact, if Medvedev were still in power, the nukes would have been flying a long time ago. Unless Medvedev is Putin's junk yard dog but I don't think so...Medvedev is Putin's John McCain/Lindsey Graham/all the war hawks. Putin is a lawyer and is pragmatic. You need to do a lot of homework and not in the MSM resource library which has done the same thing to Putin that it has been doing to Trump: Demonizing him...creating a boogeyman. You have no idea what Putin has done for Russia and how he dealt with the oligarchs and how he has stabilized the ruble. He is a nationalist, although the Russians do not use that word.
I totally agree. He has kept Russia for Russians—not allowing the Muslim hordes in, which is killing Europe. For that, he needs to be lauded. He is a great Russian historian and a total nationalist, that’s why he and Trump understand each other.
Putin is alot of things, most of them NOT good....but he loves his people and they love him.....he also loved his very religious mother who said the rosary everyday......God is now using both DJT and Putin for His purposes.......we shall soon see how to all ends.....God ALWAYS wins and He has told us repeatedly we have ALREADY won!!
Actually, my homework on Russia goes back longer, to the robberies, mass-murders, deportations and famines that Soviet Russia has inflicted on Ukraine throughout history; and no, I did not get that from the "MSM", and no, the tiger does not lose his stripes, and no, anybody who blames the Ukrainians for not wanting a return of that kind of oppression should consider his own sanity.
And about those flying nukes ... there's a lot of doubt that those even would have worked, given the corruption, sloth and neglect typical of Russia's armed forces. Although I admit, nobody can afford to take a chance on THAT ... and yet, going by the way the war went, even Putin himself seemed ignorant of the real condition of his armed forces.
Finally, how Putin "stabilized the ruble" -- that's GOT to be a joke.
Don't confuse Russia with the USSR ; there is quite the Christian presence since the Wall fell . The Russian masses are/were not pro Soviet .
Since Putin himself has said that the disintegration of the Soviet Union was a huge tragedy, I'm not so sure about all that. And my skepticism is enhanced by watching the head honcho of the Russian Orthodox church, the one with the long beard and the cross on top of his head, who is forever cheering on Putin, is a former KGB man himself.
Buekle and Melei better but Meloni is a hottie!
I voted for Bukele for no other reason than the amazing prison he built. There are a lot of people in this country who belong there. And I’m not just talking about illegals.
Well said Plays !!
She's certainly attractive and smart, but a dose of that and a drink of water would probably kill you.
I would die happy.
Depends on voting criteria. Hard to leave her off
I don't think any of this would have happened if Trump had been reelected in 2020. Because, as he said himself, in that case Putin would not have started this mess. (I'm ignoring that very likely the real outcome of the 2020 election was Trump's reelection; but in hindsight, the mail-in Biden interval may have been for the best because in 2024 Trump came back roaring, loaded for bear.)
But now the devil is in the details: how much of Ukraine Putin gets to keep, does Ukraine get any security guarantees, POW exchanges, indemnities for Ukraine, will the thousands or tens-of-thousands abducted Ukrainian children be repatriated, provided they remember their own names ...
Creating counter-factuals is always fun, but the nature of reality is that it is only the situation that exists which provides opportunity to act. I agree that today's reality is impossible to conceive looking from the perspective of 2020; it could have been better, but could have been worse and we'll never know. However, I truly believe that Trump's survival of the assassination attempt in Butler, PA and subsequent election has given him a quasi-messianic self-image. I do not mean that as an insult, but rather in the sense that he truly believes (as he has said publicly) that he was chosen for a purpose, that purpose being to set America and the world aright. No leader can be successful without a belief in his leadership. Churchill truly believed he was appointed (anointed?) to lead Britain out of its darkest hour and because he had this belief, he pushed through to see his vision materialize when others would have shrunk back from the task. George Washington also shared a belief in his Divine appointment, which gave him the ability to withstand eight years of unbelievable hardship and military defeats until ultimate victory was won. I believe Trump falls into the same category and despite all the adversity he has faced and will continue to face, he will persevere because he believes that is his destiny. He is in that way a Colossus astride history and will be remembered as such.
Well-said, even though Hitler too credited "Providence" for his surviving more than one assassination attempt. Which makes me wonder: might the Lord have saved Hitler a bit longer to really rub it in on the Germans? As to Trump being a "Colossus astride history", yes, and the most impressive aspect of that is that it has not gone to his head. He is still Trump.
Excellent summary by you both......agree!!
Just as you were chosen to accomplish the things you did with your life my friend. To those who are given much, much is required.
And what about the BILLLION$ of US dollars that are stashed away in foreign bank accounts...including many held by our own politicians... would love to see a lot of that money "repatriated"!
As would a lot of us Rev but when we see the pigs flying maybe they have cash only signs banners flying.
I was born in Va in 1953. The older I get the closer that war gets to me. What a mess. The worst government in the world is the two party system, besides all the others.
We have had a uni-party for the last 60 + years kneeling to the MIC.
The Castrati all filed into the Whitehouse behind their Dominatrix, Von der Devil, and their little pet, Zelensky, and got to play pretend that they matter one whit in the pursuit of actual peace between Russia and Ukraine.
Merz, the German Putz, managed to do what he consistently does best, say the wrong thing at the wrong time; Starmer stuttered a bunch of utterly incomprehensible nonsense; Little Napoleon got to remind everyone how important he thinks he is; and puppet Z, now wearing his electrified choke collar-coat, tried nervously to remember all his lines hoping he wouldn’t get zapped for falling out of line.
But Trump ruled the day, ever the gracious host, helping to make the swallowing of their medicine a bit more palatable.
The thought of Putin and Zelensky meeting solo does give me great pause.
Z is no match for Putin, and an unpredictable, not particularly bright, weak man.
But hope springs eternal, and whatever deal Trump and Putin began to hammer out in Alaska is where this will all end up, regardless all the pomp and circumstance and window dressing it comes wrapped in.
Well said.
