There are people who hope Trump is good. Or at least, not as bad as the alternative we were presented with as the only alternative to him. Which worked really well in that it prompted many people – me among them – appalled by the prospect of the only alternative to him – to vote for him.
Which – in my case, at least – would perhaps be phrased more accurately as voting against her. I wanted her to lose, because I knew we would lose if Communism came into power. Or – rather – remained in power.
The Orange Man seemed like the better alternative.
Now I am not so sure.
Have you seen the statement he issued regarding his choice to be the next surgeon general? Regarding that woman who might as well be Dr. Fauci all over again? “During the COVID 19 pandemic”, it reads – which tells us the Orange Man still does not understand it was a contrived mass-panic event and not a pandemic – “she worked on the front lines in New York City,” as if there were “front lines” during the mass-panic event, when the hospitals were not overflowing with patients and the bodies were not stacking up in refrigerator trucks parked outside – “treating thousands of Americans and helped patients in the aftermath of President Donald Trump’s historic Operation Warp Speed that saved hundreds of millions of lives.”
This is either one of two alternatives.
The first is that Orange Man is the narcissistic imbecile many think he is. That he actually does believe there was a “pandemic” – in the Black Death or even the Spanish Flu sense, rather than a mass-panic event fomented on the basis of a bad cold that didn’t cause the death of 99.8 percent of the otherwise healthy, not-elderly population and essentially none among those under 50 who were healthy.
Those are facts, those stubborn things. And they are now admitted-to and widely known facts. So it is an imbecility to continue to speak of “the pandemic” was if it actually were one rather than the mass panic event it is now known to have been.
So why does Orange Man still refer to it as it had been a pandemic? More finely, why does he continue to agree with the evil bastards who fomented it?
Then we have this “saved hundreds of millions of lives” imbecility. The drugs that were pushed as a result of Operation Warp Speed caused unprecedented damage to millions of people’s lives. They also ended thousands of lives – more than any other legalized drug and sans the saving moral grace of illegal street drugs that no one is forced to take in order to keep their job, remain in school, travel or attend a public event.
There are, of course, imbeciles who do believe the drugs that were pushed “saved hundreds of millions of lives.” They are the imbeciles who believe in what is variously styled “devolution” or “Q” – a bizarre, down-the-rabbit-hole alternative world-view that says had Orange Man not Warp Speeded his “beautiful” drugs into circulation at Warp Speed, the lockdowns would have lasted for many years longer and people would have been forced into FEMA camps, where millions would have died.
And that is how Orange Man’s “beautiful” drugs “saved hundreds of millions of lives.”
You cannot, as they say, make this stuff up.
If the Orange Man does believe his own imbecilities then he is exactly that – and voting him back into office may have been worse than keeping her out of office. But an even more disturbing alternative is that he does not believe them. That he isn’t an imbecile.
That he is evil.
And millions of us – me among them – may have just voted for that.
I pray I am wrong. But the accruing evidence (as opposed to the down-the-rabbit-hole expositions of the “devolution” and “Q” crowd, who seem limitlessly capable of explaining away every bad action of the Orange Man as part of “the plan”) suggests very strongly that I am right. That we may have bought into the evil trying to escape it.
Some say we ought to cut him some slack. I say this is exactly what we cannot do. Not if we don’t want to go through what we went through for four long years (or eve longer than that) all over again. The Left – the Communists – are in the habit of explaining away every hypocrisy of their leaders because Leftists – Communists – are useful idiots. Let’s not be that.
God help us.

Could be wrong, Eric, but based on the installations of GWB (2000) and Biden-ish last time around, I’d say that your vote was entirely irrelevant. Even Thomas Jefferson cheated to get into office, and FDR has been quoted as saying that the US Pres. is selected, not elected. Besides which, there are string-pulling insiders who make the decisions, and the Orange and the Black (no connection to Ireland) are their myrmidons, not the leaders of the free world.
Not trying to start the great debate, just saying that , imo, you needn’t feel yourself responsible for that which awaits us (which can’t be good).
There may be some who believe voting is irrelevant, even sinister, and others who regret voting at all. This woman could have held the Gold Codes.

Media needs to triage this stuff. These bad appointments won’t make it 6 months. First and formost it’s WW3 developments. Priorities. I could give a crap at this point it’s like re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

Steady Eric, easy does it, step away from the ledge. If Trump stops the world from incinerating itself in WW3, closes the border and deports illegals, time will sort out the rest of this crap out. The communist gaslighting on covid, climate, and censorship is coming apart, which is why they are pushing for WW3. The next 60 days will be very dangerous.
These appointments don’t set policies, Trump does. Peaceful change is slow, the most important thing about Trump’s election was changing direction. Give Trump two years and see what actions his administration take. If nothing changes, the Orange Man is indeed bad.
Hi Griff,
I’m rock steady. I just have zero patience for any more bullshit. Whether it emanates from people like Kamala – or Trump.
Yeah, the BS metre gets shorter and shorter as the years pass that is for sure…
Hi Shadow,
Yup – especially as regards this “COVID” crap. His promotion of a sickness psychotic – a quack – is appalling and indicates he just doesn’t get it. Or – much worse – that he is in on it and buys this “COVID” crap.
I will not abide it. None of us should.
To fully comprehend that the entire legal and societal structure of the (((US FEDGOV))) has been subverted by our (((enemy))) is key to understanding that no matter who is the president, or in control of CONgres, our lives will continue to get worse.
You’d should obtain citizenship in another country as a backup plan.
Fight to the death, but make sure to take as many of the (((enemy))) with as possible….
YMMV…
Eric, there will never be a shortage of bullshit. Take the W, forget politics for a while, drive the country roads in an old 4 on the floor V8 and have great Thanksgiving.
Griff, considering Trump’s stacking of his cabinet with Neocon Zionist war hawks; his hard-on to destroy Iran, and his penchant for military spending, I don’t see him of all people averting WWIII, but rather provoking it.
While appointments don’t set policy, one can certainly ascertain the policies he has in mind by making such picks. Not to mention that many of them will be the ones acting as his eyes and ears [the sources of his information] which will enable/cause him to set various policies…just like Fauci essentially set the stage for the pandemic hoax. If you appoint a bunch of hammers to your toolbox, they’ll convince you that everything’s a nail.
Howdy Folks,
I don’t imagine anybody here is really surprised about Trump’s moves. The elections are and always were a distraction, a veritable rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. The net result of this one will be, I imagine, the realization by the masses that virtually nobody holding the reins of power gives a shit about the will of the people. It was always thus and you can see evidence of it in the processes of creating the EU, the Brexit fiasco and on and on. The difference here is that, IMO, in America we are about to undergo the process that Russia did post USSR collapse. Empires come, empires go….the pattern is always the same….and the psychosis of “leadership” is also a repeating pattern. Russia is not fucking around anymore….they have complete military and tactical dominance but are dedicated to solving things without resort to aggressive war. If Trump makes it to office and ends the Ukraine fiasco, it will be a net win but it will not stop the process of disintegration in the U.S. What we have in the west and especially the U.S. is the classical definition of Italian fascism in about 90% of its characteristics. The real psychosis is over Israel, a genocidal apartheid state. Israel is already dead man walking economically, psychologically and ideologically. Once it goes, like the similar NAZI reich before it, things may return to saner times…not before. Nope, it’s not the Jews, it’s the Zionist lunatics and their sycophants at the base of most of the problems….
‘it’s the Zionist lunatics and their sycophants at the base of most of the problems’ — giuseppe
French engineer and bible scholar Laurent Guyénot, in an essay published this morning:
‘The truth is not that “God chose the Jews”, nor that “God chose the Jews then unchose them”. The truth is that the Jews wrote a book that says God chose the Jews — and, sadly, Christians believe God wrote that book.
‘In order to solve the new Jewish problem that they had created by destroying the kingdom of Israel, the Roman emperors adopted the syncretic religion called Christianity. Its explicit purpose was to convert the Jews to the cult of a harmless, unpolitical Messiah, and dissolve Jewish nationality into a monotheistic version of Roman universalism.
‘Unfortunately, it [did] not happen.’
https://tinyurl.com/43b25axn
It is the JEWS…
Every JEW in the world is a JEW first, and then, if they choose, take on the identity of citizenship in their respective country of choice.
Supremacy and genocide are baked in to judaism itself.
Yes,I realize that there are some JEWS who do not subscribe to the existing genocide, but there are not enough of them to make a difference.
When over 90% of “ordinary” JEWS support israel and the present genocide, THAT is but another problem.
The “litmus test” for all JEWS is the application of the talmud, which expresses an undying hatred of Jesus Christ, and all of Christianity.
Let’s not forget that judaism is actually a foreign political system (with religious overtones) that has infected not only the western world, but the USA as well.
As far as I am concerned, judaism has to go.
We could start by outlawing “male genital mutilation”.
“Jewish” is a tribal affiliation with a matriarchal lineage, similar to some Native American tribes. It is not a religious confession. Some members practice the tribal religion, others do not. The Jewish Holy Book, the Buy Bull (“Bible”) sets forth their creation myth. Every tribe has one.
The “Land Title from God” nonsense is quite the hustle, if you can get away with it. Try your local title insurance company, and see if they will write you a policy of title insurance for what you call your “Holy Land.” I bet they will not, even if he title company is owned by members of your own tribe.
Without marketable title, you have no legitimate claim to the property. Get over it.
“In order to solve the new Jewish problem that they had created by destroying the kingdom of Israel, the Roman emperors adopted the syncretic religion called Christianity. Its explicit purpose was to convert the Jews to the cult of a harmless, unpolitical Messiah, and dissolve Jewish nationality into a monotheistic version of Roman universalism.”
True, but the Romans did not just adopt Christianity, they created it. This is proved by Joseph Atwill in his landmark book “Caesar’s Messiah” …

Christian Amerika is subverted to Jews and Zionism because the Evangelicals think that they must support Israel and Jews to get into heaven, Jesus, their savior, was a Jew (so says the NT). Modern Christians say salvation is by the Jews.
The big joke, and I mean the big joke, is that Jesus the Jew came to save his people the Jews (so says the fable). No Gentile/Goyim can be saved because the salvation fable was directed at Jews. But since the Gentiles loved the story of Jesus and wanted to be saved, the early Christians had to first become Jews to get saved, by circumcision. Only Jews could be saved, but later the Gospels were changed to allow anyone in on the salvation hoax.
IOW it is all total BS. But people believe because they want to believe, because humans are sentient, they know they exist and don’t want to die. Christianity sells because of the promise of eternal life. All ya gotta do is beleeeeeeeeeeeve is in gawd almighty, pahhh-raaaaaaaaaise the lord and pass me more ammo.
The bigger joke is that when you die you are dead and there’s no afterlife. There is only life, right now. This is all you get. If you read the link (my comment) I explain it in more detail.
Thank you for your concise post. It offers much food for thought.
However, with your last statement, you are falling right into the trap which defines jewish behavior.
You see, jews don’t believe in an “afterlife”. This one fact explains jewish amorality and willingness to screw over, without any compunction, anyone who is not like them. Not believing in an afterlife explains their “anything goes screw over the goyim” attitude towards us outsiders.
The concept of an afterlife is present in just about every human society and does offer a reason to behave one’s self and to treat others with respect.
There are those who have glimpsed the afterlife and have come back as changed persons.
Even if not tied to a belief system, I believe that the afterlife is real.
That is my premise, yours may be different and I respect that…
Regards,
Nice retort. Classy.
Amazes me, those who believe, ‘From nothing, for nothing, to nothing’.
In my experience, many use the afterlife as their excuse for not trying — especially those who believe that by saying some magic words, they will ascend to heaven, their sins washed away… I don’t claim to know what comes after death, nor do I trust anyone who claims to do so. All I know for sure is that in this incarnation, with the time given me before I die, I have the chance to do some good. This life matters, my behavior here matters, precisely because it may be all there is.
Furthermore, I’ve met good and bad people of many beliefs, including agnostics and atheists. The religious like to say that atheism has no moral code, but religion doesn’t either: it has rules. Huuuuge difference between being ethical and being obedient.
Yukon Jack. you may find the book ‘The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind’ by Julian Jaynes interesting (or may already have read it?) It helped me to answer the plaguing question of why so many cultures around the world have gods – because I never bought that it was ‘just to explain how the world came about.’
Precisely, Giuseppe. The election charade is just a show to make half of the people think “their guy” is “running things” at any given time. Pick your audience and play to their desires. But as we’ve seen in the past 100 years, regardless of who is in, they’ll just keep advancing the agendas of their real masters, while keeping the sheeple occupied with silly social issues, and fighting “the other side”.
Any reasonable person should be able to see this folly, and should think it beneath them to participate in such a circus.
Indeed, Arthur. Now that “their man” has won, half the country will go back to sleep while WW3 erupts. And when Orange Man stabs them in the back they will not see it coming.
Shadow, I believe they’ll even go quietly when he “takes the guns first…” too. They’ll just smile as long as HE does it.
Wow Big G…
What an “Un-americant empire” view and totally accurate in my opinion. These USA USA Klowns have no idea what is going to hit them in their Cheetos stained faces..In the very near future….
Unfortunately, by definition, you cannot fix “stupid”!
More Evidence That
Orange ManBiden Is Bad‘The Biden administration said on Monday that it would lend $6 billion to help Rivian build an electric car factory in Georgia, part of an effort to lock in Democrat climate policies before Trump takes office.
‘The loan agreement will be binding once the Department of Energy and Rivian sign a contract, which is expected before Mr. Trump’s inauguration in January. The loans carry interest rates comparable to what the federal government pays on Treasury notes.
‘Work on the Georgia plant had been on hold since March because of Rivian’s financial circumstances. The project has the support of Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican, but has also been criticized by some Republicans who see it as a waste of government money.’ — NY Slimes
https://archive.ph/dGvsr#selection-1005.0-1005.96
Stupid ‘Biden.’ Stupid RINO Kemp. Stupid airhead ‘Jenny Granholm.’ Lending billions at T-note interest rates (the lowest available) to a company that ran out of money in March to keep building its plant. WTF is wrong with you people? Oh right, I forgot — it’s other people’s money.
Why does Rivian need to build another plant, when the market for EeeVees is dead in the water? Politicized investment is a Soviet-style command economy tactic. As revealed when goggle-eyed East Germans wandered through the gate into West Berlin on 9 Nov 1989, a command economy leaves its people destitute, ill-clad and hungry. Coming soon to a country near you.
FJB.
Of course Bidet is bad. Who in their right mind would dispute that? What’s sad is that so many don’t seem to realize that The Best Friend Israel Ever Had® is also bad. Butch The Bully is bad! Lets elect Buster The Bully. We’ll get the same treatment, but we’ll feel better and complain less when Buster steals our lunch money and beats us up.
World war has started, prime targets are NATO headquarters and military bases close to Russia. D.C. is a target. NYC is a target. The City of London is a prime target for Russian nukes or whatever. Afterall – that is where all this mayhem stems from. What Biden regime is doing is on orders of the Kharzarian banksters in the financial district.
Eric – you are doing a great job, what would you do if D.C. was struck by a nuke?
There is little doubt that USA will be soon be under attack.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF? – You wake up, electricity is off, no cell signal. Outside is pandemonium, yelling, SCREAMING outside in the streets,
you hear and can see in the distance the big city near you has been nuked,
you are far enough from the blast to be safe from it’s immediate effects..
but the Radiation is coming fast.
AT THIS MOMENT OF REALIZATION OF WHAT IS HAPPENING…
WHAT DO YOU DO?
WHAT WILL YOU DO?
(for all you know the whole world has been nuked)
WHAT WILL YOU REGRET THAT YOU DID NOT DO WHEN YOU KNEW DAMN WELL WW3 WAS COMING?
What I am saying is we need to prepare and stop discussing these idiots in charge. Forget them and save ourselves.
Lucky for us, as the war expands the USA is far away. Poland could soon be under attack. If France, Britain send troops to Ukraine, what will you do then? At what point does this war become real enough to start reacting to it?
Thanks, Jack- and good morning!
I couldn’t sleep, so here I am. As far as what will I do if DC is nuked? Well, the first thing I’ll do is say a prayer for the friends I have there who I will never see again. The second is crack the bottle of “good stuff” I have been saving and await what comes. We are far enough away from DC, insofar as DC being nuked. But I know it will not end there. Maybe take the TA out for a drive, one last time.
I hear ya, Eric. I have a bottle of “the good stuff” for just such a day. Only up here, in case we get nuked, or if Russia (or God forbid, China) take us over. Harris vs. Trump: Do you want to die via the gun or the knife? Some choice….
First thing I’d do? Pray that NY or CA will be next!

“Don’t expect much that way you won’t be disappointed”
I warned family and friends “we’ll see” after the election. Even with sticking to a conservative agenda the odds are stacked against any meaningful course correction, any bureaucracy exists to survive be it business or government. Between RINO sandbagging and the endless lawsuits from the left it’s going to be a long four years. This glued to Israel bulls**t shows no sign of ending either.
Add in the hysterics of the clot shot/climate change/associated BS believers – good luck America! Dinner with friends “I lost four friends to Covid just because they refused to get the vaccine!” About choked on my salad. Meanwhile these survivors keep getting sick and still lined up for this Fall clot shot booster AND a flu shot. “That flu shot left me feeling a bit sick, OK though the doc warned me that might happen”.
Biden was vaccinated and look what happened.
Madness from ludicrous speed to plaid.
It don’t get no better.
RE: “Meanwhile these survivors keep getting sick…”
Ain’t that the truth, every little kind of sickness, & some doozies, too. Sick, all the time, they are. …And, won’t listen to nuthin’, less it comes from the mouth of some so-called, “expert”.
Not sure how to say more, about anything.
“Governor Ron DeSantis says Florida Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo should serve as a top health official in President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.”
Ladapo was against the COVID gestapo tactics. Maybe Trump has another place in mind for Ladapo?
Bessent, Gorka – the bad nominations are adding up. Is Trump making the same mistakes as he did during his first administration? Are we going to get some more “wonderful vaccines”? “Wonderful wars”? “Wonderful money printing”?
Do I have to be happy that Trump isn’t Kamala and that’s all?
Gorka is a warmongering lunatic. He just came out and called Putin a murderous former KGB colonel and a thug. I don’t suppose it occurs to Trump that after having his deputy assistant and senior directory for counterterrorism refer to Putin this way, Putin is not going to be particularly eager to negotiate with him.
Gorka made it clear that the Trump administration plans to serve Putin with an ultimatum for terms for ending the Ukraine war. If Putin does not accept these terms, the US will flood Ukraine with weapons. Quoting Gorka, “You will negotiate now or the aid that we have given to Ukraine thus far will look like peanuts.” He really believes that the US is in a position to dictate terms to Russia and that Russia will meekly submit to these terms, as opposed to the reality that Russia has basically won this war. The only way to keep this war going is to keep sending weapons to Ukraine. The longer this is done, the more likely that it will escalate to nuclear war.
[…] Guest Post by Eric Peters […]
Don’t beat yourself up Eric, it was pretty obvious we were screwed whichever candidate was (s)elected since both were angling for president of Israhell rather than the USSA. FWIW I voted for Jill Stein as a protest, not that it will make any difference either.
Yep.
This is why I don’t vote (Excuse the broken record).It’s pure theater for the masses. You have no control over what they do, and have no clue what they will actually do. Vote or don’t vote. It doesn’t matter who wins, they will all work to further the agenda we are all fighting, while working against us.
Only by voting, you’ve given your stamp of approval (even if your candidate hadn’t won); you’ve consented to ‘democracy’, and agreed that it is legit, and that the power they exercise over us and our neighbors is moral, as long as it falls within the boundaries of the laws they make-up.
Libertarians/Voluntaryists understand that “the will of the majority” and “democratically-elected leaders” are NOT legit, and have no legitimate authority over us. But if we participate in their system, we are either saying that we agree with them that it is legit, or that we are hypocrites, in that we don’t believe in the philosophy we preach.
I can understand the pragmatism that says “use the opportunity to choose the lesser evil”, but the fact is, there is no lesser or greater evil, as the actors will do what their bosses and funders tell them to do, and those bosses and funders are the same regardless of who is elected. Not to mention that the candidates are lying sacks of shit, who do not stand for the things they pretend to (Witness the democratic governors of states like NY and CA who while pu7blicly promoting the “pandemic”, in their own personal lives freely engaged in orgies and parties without regard to their “safety” protocols), AND the fact that these actors do not even have the power to do the things they say. Kommie-lala could not impose communism (anymore so than we already have it); The Donald can not make America great again.
It’s an act, and voting is the token sign of acceptance of what is proffered, and many even among us fell for it. Stop falling for it! Everyone who said they won’t be fooled again…has been fooled again 🙁
The “lesser of two evils” is still evil. So, if you vote for it, you are voting in favor of evil. Your choice.
Exactly. And in reality, there is no lesser evil. At the very best, all candidates are just vying to perpetuate and expand the status quo of GOVERNMENT. At worst (reality) they are working to also implement an agenda which has been foisted on the world by a small group of people from one nation, who think they have the right to rule the world and play God. And here we have all of the contenders openly pledging support to that nation, and making laws to outlaw criticizing it’s people. Wanna know who really runs things? Just look at who you’re not allowed to criticize.
I am not going to jump off the deep end here. Let him get into office first. I still think he is a better pick than Harris. I remember the first term clearly. The first three years, prior to the Plandemic, were pretty good. He eased regulations, lowered taxes, and most importantly, kept us out of war.
Did he make missteps under the new flu…yes. Absolutely. But, let’s be clear, the majority of people do not question authority, they were scared, fearful, and believed that their doctors (and government) would do no harm. They are not us. They were not going to research, analyze, and inquire about studies and things such as natural immunity or experimental vaccines. I abhorred 2020 and the last four years that have occurred since, but it was what this country needed to see that evil does exist.
This country had a choice between a Communist and a moderate Democrat. A moderate Democrat will soon be in charge. Not a libertarian, not a Constitutionalist, not a conservative, a Democrat. His Administration choices are former Democrats. I am taking solace in the fact that they are at least business owners.
Trump is not a Savior. We are not going to get everything we want or even half of what we want, but let him get through the door before before we start throwing stones at the glass.
I wonder how much of our memory of Trump’s first three years is tinged by rose-colored nostalgia? I’m tempted to go down that same road, but then I remember Trump’s response to the Las Vegas shooting (“Ban bump stocks and ask questions later!”).
“But he kept us out of war!” Did he? I seem to recall him constantly inflaming China with this tariff war which, it could be argued, provoked the response of China unleashing the worldwide scamdemic. As for the taxes, he undoubtedly gave the well-off a tax break, but I never saw my taxes go down. And at least one of my middle class friends saw their taxes go UP! As they say, nostalgia is a myth and Trump nostalgia is no different.
The tax break for the “rich” really gets me. It is a Democrat talking point. Do you know whose taxes went up? The wealthy. Why? The SALT cap.
An example, prior to the 2017 TCJA there was no cap on state taxes (there are phaseout limitations, but I won’t bore you with the details). Say Warren Buffett paid estimated taxes to Nebraska around $5 million dollars per year. He could deduct them on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions. In 2018, Warren was capped at $10k. He lost a previous deduction of $4,990,000. Yes, his tax rates went down from 39.6 to 37, but not enough to offset such a large deduction.
The majority of Americans saw a tax deduction. The rare exception is those who live in high taxed states who pay exorbitant amounts in real estate, personal property, and state taxes because these deductions are now capped through December 31, 2025.
Are my views rose filled nostalgia? Was gas cheaper? Food? Interest rates? Cars? Homes? Rent? Property taxes? I will happily continue to wear my rosy glasses if I see $1.89 a gallon gas when I look through them.
During the 2024 campaign, Orange Man floated the idea of lifting the SALT deduction, something which put him at odds with DeSantis, Abbott, and the other Republican Governors of low tax states.
As I’ve long observed, the government never gives you anything without taking it back many times over with interest. And while we undoubtedly had it “good” under Trump for a couple of years, his final year erased all of those perks and then some. And we continue to pay for them in the form of exorbitant housing, fuel and food prices. (And yes, Trump shares a significant portion of this blame, even if he didn’t initiate the scamdemic.)
I agree with your assessment, Raider, but i think we need to make a lot of noise now and throughout. Do i think that Orange Man is a better choice? Probably.
Harris would have continued to impose stuff by executive decree and she would have taxed the hell out of us as a result. The puny tax cuts would have expired and we would be looking at a codified tax increase.
We would have had a fracking ban and more EPA rules. She is against the private car.
Shes a radical.
Trump sucks ass. I personally can’t stand him, but when you are faced with caclking communism , what are you supposed to do
Its people like Trump i do hate because i always get the idea hes conning us.
This is well-said, Swamp!
I share this view. I also will not cut Orange Man the slightest slack. No one ought to. That is how we got to where we are. Zero tolerance for tyranny, regardless of its source.
‘We’ spent $150 billion on the freaking Ukies. And all we got back was this dire warning from some dickhead Dutchman:
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – A top NATO military official on Monday urged businesses to be prepared for a wartime scenario and adjust their production and distribution lines accordingly, in order to be less vulnerable to blackmail from countries such as Russia and China.
“If we can make sure that all crucial services and goods can be delivered no matter what, then that is a key part of our deterrence,” the chair of NATO’s military committee, Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer, said in Brussels.

Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds

Best way to “support our troops” is to bring them home.
There was once a popular song about that.

Update the lyrics to reflect the location of current, or currently planned, wars.
George Washington had it right, more than 200 years ago. We don’t need to venture abroad in search of monsters to destroy.
RE: “bring them home”.
Do you remember way back when, 20 yrs. ago or so, at the beginning of the first Gulf War, in small towns all over, people tied big yellow ribbons around the tall trees lining the streets, ’cause the troops were only going to be gone for a very little while.
The unitedstate wasn’t supposed to be an empire & a nation builder (of other nations) back then. Or so some thought, anyway.
A quick cake-walk, & they’d all be back lickety split.
Did they do that in the big cities, too?
How ’bout that “Peace Dividend”?
And there ain’t no 40 acres and there ain’t no gol’ dang mule.
>the troops were only going to be gone for a very little while.
Sure.
Side hustle for one of the “bridge salesmen.”
Still there, aren’t they?
Bring them home? Why would I want those who volunteered to do the dirty-work of bankersand politicians to “come come”? So we can have yet more roided-up PTSDed psycho cops? Yeah, good plan! Gee, I’d hate to see them getting shot-up by the folks whose countries they are invading!
Now I remember why I don’t vote.
i am with you in that. i don’t vote. i will not willingly choose evil and that is all the choice the slaves get. not the lesser of…EVIL and EVIL -ER. one….both will stick a needle in you the other a bullet. dead is what difference? maimed, sickened. nothing will change. the one will rob you a lot…the other will give you back a dollar of what he/she/it robbed you of. and then people claim that someone is better?
when you choose evil…you get just that…what a surprise! not much to me. i don’t choose either one….i choose the 3rd way…NO! pretty simple. live it. say it. wave the finger around with a swear word attached and mean it…refuse to live as they say….refuse to go along with them…refuse to pay them, refuse to work for them, refuse to obey them. everywhere you can! do it and be brave. that is the only possibility!
choosing a new master won’t change a thing except the hand that holds the whip.
no matter what they look like….the pre-selected candidates are still PIGS WITH A WHIP!
period. and thinking you can control them, change them or get them to do your bidding is wishful thinking. it is insanity. expecting different results every 4 years by doing the same thing over and over and over again.
in many ways the chameleon that was LALA could have been better. she might make people decide they have enough and fight back. start a revolution. or become so resistant that nothing they will will force people to submit to their enslavement again. such would be the rage. but instead people are begging the little demon , the orange man to be what they wish him be….and he will be the serpent he is.he will prove he is the BIG MAN…THE BIG DEMON.
..he is a man who seeks power for his own enrichment and that of his buddies. and he enjoys wielding the whip to flay the back of those who thought he would be GOD SEND!
may the whip fall lightly on those who voted for him! he is yours…everything he does is yours! everything he doesn’t do again is yours!! you linked yourself to him and you get to live with the results….enjoy it. The spell has been woven and your part of it. you will be bonded to his choices for 4 years! and the back feeding of that spell falls on your head. the media helped weave that spell and it is very much binding. on your very soul. what he does to the country, to the people is yours. congratulations. may the chains rest lightly.
I’m sure orange genius, being the salesman he is, tells himself a version of that story so as to sleep well at night..
What a narrative, That foisting an untested, probably unsafe substance on the world saved millions from life in a FEMA gulag. Maybe they could rebrand it as “We had to take away your freedom, in order to save your freedom.” Truth is, what saved people from FEMA camps was better people than them, people like those of us here, with the courage to boldly stand and say NO. It was the people willing to go to the marrow, with violence if necessary, that saved the world from a dystopian needle rape future. They can spin it however they want, the truth is the truth, and its still trickling out.
Imo, we would have been better off with Harris the sad clown. Although on the plus side, that new surgeon general does have a mighty pretty mouth. If she were my doctor, I’d see if I could toss her an extra Franklin for a massage. Oh well, a new day and my consent was not given to either member of this D/R silly bitch brigade. Its wonderful to be unburdened by such things. A clear conscience and clean hands are priceless.
Give it a couple months, Tulsi and RFK will be a memory, and Macho Camaco TrumpinStien will be campaigning for Thune, Cornin, Grassley and McGobbler.
Hi Norman,
One of my oldest friends buys this “devolution” stuff and believes in the “saved hundreds of millions of lives” thing. He just wrote me as follows:
“Hey look over here!” While normies are distracted with ‘busy work, like complaining & hating OM for ie, his choice for The Nation’s Doctor, real shit is happening. I suggest watching more football & learning simple strategies & tactics.
Tell your friend you learned everything you need to know about football watching Lucy and Charlie Brown.
I feel like we missed a historic opportunity to rip the curtain off the back of the theatre wall. This devolution stuff, and the TDS stuff, seem kind of ‘two sides of the same coin’ to me. The whole mess reminds my of a riptide, swiftly moving back and forth between Civil war2.o and WW3 with the occasional calm water. When what we really need is a Revolutionary war 2.O
What everyone has missed is that it was actually an opportunity to learn something about females.
No disrespect to your friend Eric but “watching more football” is exactly the diversion the PTB want. It’s the latest version of the ancient Roman “bread and circuses”.

Reportedly, Trump reads nothing. He gets his information from listening to taking heads — some of whom are neocons, and zionists, and vaccinazis. On Fox News you can see all three. Then Trump repeats it back, with a notable degradation in fidelity owing to his 2,000-word vocabulary.
Janette Nesheiwat’s sister Julie is married to neocon Mike Waltz, Trump’s pick for national security advisor. Listen to this freak Waltz:
‘[Biden’s] focus on Gaza and a ceasefire and pressuring Israel hasn’t worked and is not going to work. What does work is maximum pressure on Iran.’
https://tinyurl.com/3th462zw
All in the genocide-friendly, warmongering Fox News family, in other words. When it comes to this faction of the Republiclown party, maggot-brained old ‘Biden’ was right — they are garbage.
Iran just stepped up its centrifuging in response to their first pressure delivered through the IAEA … while belligerent little nuclear Israel isn’t inspected by the IAEA at all.
Putting Fox News in charge of US foreign policy is like putting Bill Clinton in charge of a girl scout camp. Don’t be surprised at the ensuing belly bumps on 13-year-old mommies.
What is evil? All ponerologists want to know.
Ponerists are at it all of the time. An imposition of will.
One fact that I do know and did happen: A victim of an evil cult was sitting up high on a limb of a tree at night warbling incantations of some sort, a few days later he was dead.
Once way back when I spotted a five-sided, five pieces three dimensional glass and a lead edged object.
I asked the owner what it was.
“Call it a religious artifact,” he said.
It didn’t take me long to figure out what it really was. You back away quickly from those that can burn you.
Evil does exist in this world.
Trump is or is not aware of evil, he can be used big time by it.
Looks very troubling at this point. Trump is between a rock and a hard place, he being an imbecile is a foregone conclusion.
Ponerology is from the Greek word ponērós, evil.

Strike Two – the appointment of Dr. Neshiawat.
“A Faustian bargain, a pact whereby a person trades something of supreme moral or spiritual importance, such as personal values or the soul, for some worldly or material benefit, such as knowledge, power, or riches. The term refers to the legend of Faust (or Faustus, or Doctor Faustus), a character in German folklore and literature, who agrees to surrender his soul to an evil spirit (in some treatments, Mephistopheles, or Mephisto, a representative of Satan) after a certain period of time in exchange for otherwise unattainable knowledge and magical powers that give him access to all the world’s pleasures. A Faustian bargain is made with a power that the bargainer recognizes as evil or amoral. Faustian bargains are by their nature tragic or self-defeating for the person who makes them, because what is surrendered is ultimately far more valuable than what is obtained, whether or not the bargainer appreciates that fact.”
Is voting the lesser of two evils a Faustian Bargain? If your vote represents your sacred trust, your will, your morals, and your ethical code, is it rational to vote the lesser evil, like voting for Trump over Komrade Kameltoe? And what if Trump was an actor, a performer, saying just the right things to win approval of his target audience, conservative patriot Amerikans desperate for a savior? And once Trump is elected to his second and final term, why would a lame duck cater to his base when he has to deal with his billionaire donors and their agendas? Did Trump make a deal with the Talmudic devils to win the presidency?
Politics is the art of catering to practical necessities over principles – and good intentions that are withered away can be the road to hell. It seems to me that Trump plays a double game, says one thing and has intentions to do another. MAGA is a lie, when you can see his real loyalty is to the foreign state of Israel.
Indeed, Jack –
And that is why I am hammering the bastard right now – the moment he deserves it. I hope others will, too. Zero tolerance for more of the same – and worse – just because it is emanating from “our guy.”
Trump is famous for appointing scapegoats he can fire when things go badly. Elon and Swami are both billionaires and very smart. How long are they going to last when Trump has appointed radical evangelic loons who love war and Israel? It seems to me they want to cut spending and keep forking more to Israel. When you run a trillion dollar deficits, do you really have any money to give to foreign nations?
Trump used to read the tale of the snake, later we said Trump was King Snake of the Swamp after he appointed Nikki Haley, Rex Tillerson, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton. Tillerson said Trump reads nothing. At least his 2,000 word vocabulary is better than Ms. Cameltoe’s endless repeating the significance of the passage of time:
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/kamala-harris-speech-loop-repeat-b2041329.html
Trump uses the word “beautiful” in almost every sentence. Dumb vs. dumber. When Kamala was asked about inflation, she responded that inflation was the rising of prices. She has no idea what it is or that government causes it – yet says she want to force retailers to curb it.
As usual we hope for the best as Trump plays his blame games. The national debt just thru the 36 trillion mark, it is increasing 1 trillion every 90 days. If you cut spending to reduce that significantly it is like taking the cocaine away from the party – just reducing the rate of debt increase might tank the stock market – which everyone invested thinks can only go up. Buy that triple leverage SPX QQQ and get rich! I actually saw the Proshares 3X ETF for the SP500 on TV advertizement this weekend. That is very much shades of 1929.
Why on God’s green earth is there a U.S. Surgeon General in the first place? The best appointment would be nobody. That needs no Senate confirmation. Let that office wither away and die.
Hi ML,
The SG is nothing more than a spokesperson. I have no issue with doing away with the position, but there is no guarantee that Dr. Janette Nesheiwat will even receive Senate confirmation. After the swift backlash she may find it isn’t worth the hassle and withdraw from consideration.
He has chosen three COVID skeptics for the HHS, CDC, and FDA. We seem to be focusing on the bad and refuse to look at anything positive that could potentially come from this (not from SG), but from a complete overhaul of the federal health administration. None of us bat a .400, but if Trump can bat .300 under HHS I am willing to accept good to excellent and not out and out perfection.
Bingo! Trump needs to start cutting positions NOT filling positions. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Yukon Jack: “It seems to me that Trump plays a double game, says one thing and has intentions to do another.”
I’m not sure he is even smart enought to do that. I think he is more like an amoeba. He wanders around, randomly and brainlessly, then bumps into something and reacts. More often than not, incorrectly,
That would apper to blow apart the random theory of statistics. Maybe the odds will at least come around. They say “Where there life, there is breath”. With The Donald, I am not holding my breath expecting the odds to normalize, though.
RE: “the government did end the depression, by bombing “excess” capacity in Germany and Japan.”
If it matters, Prof. Robert Higgs wrote that The Depression didn’t really end (prosperity wasn’t on the upswing) until the 1950’s when lower tax rates kicked in. If I recall correctly.
Taking out Germany & Japan wasn’t the reason.
I’d post the URL to the article, but on Internet 2.0, ya can’t find Jack.

Whoops, was meant to be a reply to ReadyKilowatt below.
There’s already opposition to Trump’s pick for Surgeon General over things she advocated during COVID hysteria….

My hands are clean. I stuck to libertarian principles and did not vote, knowing that I am willing and able to take on whatever evil comes along next.
Principles matter, and discarding them because “emergency” is the same as discarding principles during the “pandemic” by wearing a mask and getting the beautiful vaccine.
I will admit, when I woke up the next morning and found out Trump prevailed, I was temporarily elated. Reality is setting in now. I’m not pleased about it, but we all knew in the back of our minds that nothing is changing, meaningfully, with Trump in office.
Indeed, Philo –
I already feel obliged to apologize for my small part. God-damn it.

If Trump keeps us out of war and figures out how to wrap up this Ukraine and Russia mess than it was worth it. I have no issue with our country being friends with dictators as long as it keeps our kids from going overseas. Harris, much like Biden, would have one million of our military men and women in the Middle East and Eastern Europe before we could bat an eye. We are the verge now. I can only hope that Putin, Kim Jong Un, and Khamenei remain reasonable for the next 60 days.
I think that view is misguided RG. ‘Harris like Biden, would have one million of our military, in the ME and EE before we could bat an eye.’ Come on, not really. She would try, certainly, but as the incompetent pillow screamer she is, she would fail with mathematical certainty.
OM on the other hand chips away at the years of good work we’ve done convincing many young millennial’s and GenZ’s to stay out of the military, and thus harms way. After the next surprise attack on our freedoms, MAGA Moms and Grandmas will rally the young-uns to give OM a chance. Because Israel is our greatest alley, and because, its our guy bravely waving the boys goodbye, again.
The whole fake edifice of “Our Government” was falling apart under four more years of Biden/Harris mismanagement. Now, maybe it becomes stronger than ever..
Hi Norman,
You don’t think we are heading to a World War? You don’t think she would consider a draft? I don’t think she has any problem with sending eighteen and nineteen year olds to die. Biden is weak and she is weak. Look at where we are. This country’s leaders are a laughingstock to the world.
Where does this chanting of let the USA fail come from? What happens if the US fails? Does anyone think that their one year food supply and worthless greenbacks are going to hold out and they are going to skirt through the crumbling of civilization? Our taxpayer money holds up most of the world. Take that away and this world evolves into a Depression that makes 1929 look like child’s play.
No. No. And, you’re right, she has no problem instituting a draft. That doesn’t mean the majority people would peacefully go along with it.
As to letting the USA fail, you of all people, with your accounting background should know its a mathematical certainty at this point. We’ve abused our dollar privilege past its sell-by date. The money can never be repaid, only hyper-inflated through helicopter debasement or war.
And you are entirely correct about a one year food supply and worthless greenbacks holding up, it probably wont. Thats why many of us will not survive. A depression shouldn’t necessarily be feared. My ancestors came through the last one in fine fashion. I hope me and mine prove worthy of their respect .
Raider Girl: “You don’t think she would consider a draft? I don’t think she has any problem with sending eighteen and nineteen year olds to die.”
But I am not certain the incoming won’t either. When all else fails, “War is the health of the State.” always prevails, and the “patriots”, fully conditioned, all cheer as the troops march on the C5s.
As to “I have no issue with our country being friends with dictators as long as it keeps our kids from going overseas.”: we don’t need to be friends with them. We need to finally decide that our (political) business ends at our borders. I am enough of an optimist to believe most of them would decide the same. Any that didn’t, would be intelligent enough to know that they would be swatted like flies if they get too close and likely therefore behave themselves.
We don’t need to sing Russia’s praises to avoid WWIII, But we need to mind our own damned business! Only one who swallowed the blue pill could claim that Putin is not the only adult in the room at this point. We need to hope he can forebear until he at least has a teenager (The Donald) to deal with on our part. Ol’ Joe, of course, is doing everything to cause enough trouble that it can’t happen. (Ol’ Joe meaning the entire den of rats currently in charge, since he obviously is incapable of stacking his wooden blocks at this point.)
Hi Eric. Never apologize for encouraging people to vote. It might not always make a difference and we will never know the outcome if the election had gone differently but things can always be worse.
Will things work out a lot better than we hope for? Probably not. My only fear is that people will accept what President Trump pushes that we disagree with rather than fight it if President Harris had pushed the identical thing.
In the end all we can do is our admittedly own small part in holding back the long night.
To be fair to Trump, there was one drug that he advocated during the whole COVID hysteria, that being Hydroxychloroquine. He was PILLORIED by Democrats, corrupt public health bureaucrats, and establishment media for it. Trump was even accused of “Spreading misinformation on Hydroxychloroquine”. However, numerous studies involving that drug have shown Trump was RIGHT about it, but for the drug to actually be effective as a COVID treatment, it had to be given early in a COVID infection, and there were efforts nationwide to block people from getting it.
And then of course, there’s that other drug that has been around for decades called Ivermectin. It was also shown to be an effective COVID treatment, but there were efforts to keep people from getting that, and corporate media called it HORSE DEWORMER in 2021. But given that Ivermectin was an inexpensive drug compared to brand new mRNA vaccines, Big Pharma & corrupt public health bureaucrats couldn’t make TONS of money off of an inexpensive, off patent drug.
Of course the inventor of Ivermectin, who won a Nobel prize for it, was kicked off of you tube because “he didn’t know enough about it”
It’s a generational thing. My parents are the same way when it comes to doctors and other authority figures. He was raised at a time when America was at a peak, having just won the war and beat the Ruskies to the bomb. The government was taking credit for ending the Great Depression, using FDR’s three letter agencies to “wisely manage capitalism.” Of course really the government did end the depression, by bombing “excess” capacity in Germany and Japan. Can’t make money when there’s plenty.
It was a great time for those in charge.
And it was the golden era of the specialist. Information was still hard to find. Maybe you had a good library available, but who has the time to search through the stacks? “I’ll just take your word for it, doc.” If one does dare to question the expert? “Well, where’s your degree pal?”
In their youth many of today’s TDS liberals started to ask questions they weren’t supposed to ask. And then they got their own degrees in “expert” but never connected the dots between asking questions and their own incompetence.
When I was a kid a common bumper sticker was “Question Authority.” Don’t see them too often these days, but you do see the equivalent of them with every meme posted on X, every shitty response to Rob Reiner’s (another Trump aged idiot) bullshit, every Tom Woods email debunking the accepted opinion. Maybe Elon will help Trump figure out the difference between shit and Shinola.
Thing I can’t get is why are the millennials so willing to accept the authoritarian viewpoint? I guess 9/11 and the War On Terror™ must have had an effect on them. That and the “active shooter” drills, stranger danger and pretty much anything that kids are told about men has sunk in. Just like my parents were told that “experts” are a benevolent elder class that only wants the best for society.
First, I agree that Trump’s upbringing in that era does affect his decisions, as it does anyone’s decisions.
In addition, and partially for the same reason, Trump rarely, if ever, admits any mistake in public.
I think he should admit how wrong he was about the plandemic and the fake vaccines.
He should also point out that he did suggest an existing treatment at the time and the media was used by the swamp and pharma to hide the truth. He should point out that his suggestion was correct and use of that by those who listened also saved lives.
But I think Trump was taught by his experience in business, especially in dealing with banksters and government bureaucrats, to never admit any errors even when they are obvious.
imo, if someone studied all his negotiations in business they would find that every time he admitted any weakness or error, that admission was used against him.
Can anyone doubt that the media would use such an admission against him now?
He got elected without admitting it. Why should I admit it now?
Maybe, like the Fonz, he can’t say the word “wrong.”

Hi RK,
Yes, but that’s even what bothers me so much. What bothers me is that Trump clearly still believes in all the “COVID” crap. Otherwise why not appoint Lapado or Carson or some other doctor who smelled the bullshit the first time and said so?
Unfortunately, failing to realize the most basic premise that communism comes from Judaism, has led you to be unable to figure out that Trump and ALL PRESIDENTS are JEWISH PUPPETS and ALL will usher in communism. PERIOD.
