Here’s the audio of this week’s talk with my friend Bryan Hyde, host of The Bryan Hyde Show. We talked about about the way ideology warps all-too-many peoples’ view of things – as well as VW’s new subscription for horsepower:

Trump is at war with China, Trump belittles China as Gina
Now Trump says he wants 600,000 chinese students to come to the USA to save our universities!
Back in 2020, Joe Biden ran on a campaign of (paraphrasing) “Returning to normalcy after the chaos of Trump”, and many people who voted for Biden-Harris voted on that basis. However, after the Biden-Harris regime got into office, they went full blown authoritarian. And many Democrat voters CHEERED that, particularly when the regime decreed COVID vaxx mandates for millions of employees who refused to be guinea pigs for Big Pharma.
As for Trump’s recent EO banning burning an American flag, back in 1989, the Supreme Court ruled that burning an American flag was a form of free speech. However, what would the reaction from the “Red Hats” be if the Biden-Harris regime attempted to ban burning a Ukrainian flag, because the regime funneled BILLIONS of dollars to Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeev under guise of “Saving democracy from Mad Man Putin!”, and many Biden voters virtue signaled on their social media pages how they “Stood with Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeev!” Biden voters would have probably CHEERED such a decree.
Trump and Lutnick are dictators on crack. If we wanted to speed up the process of destroying this country these two are the ones to do it.
I know I shouldn’t, but I find this whole thing laughable (in a very facetious kind of way). The rich are destroying each other. I am playing Devil’s Advocate here: If a business seeks government assistance (such as subsidies, loans, grants, etc.) should the government (ahem, taxpayers) get a percentage of ownership until the subsidy/loan/grant is repaid? The defense contractors are the worst of the lot. There would be no defense contractors without taxpayer funds. The Halliburtons, Lockheed Martins, Raytheons, etc. take 18-20 year old young men, send them off to war, to come back maimed or in a bodybag while the fat cats at the top receive the resources, money, and notoriety. Let them eat each other. I will not shed a tear. Our Republic was destroyed long ago.
This should be under Jim’s comment.
Deploy National Guard to Chicago? Trump Says He Has ‘The Right to Do Anything I Want to Do.’ — NY Times headline today
More unaccountable federal law enforcement, after all the scandals the FBI has been embroiled in? HELL, NO!
Orange Bejeezus is America’s Nicolás Maduro — an autocrat, a caudillo and a clown.
I object like hell.
Hi Jim,
Trump is showing this country’s citizens a very valuable lesson…we are ripe for a takeover. Everything Trump is doing is completely against the powers vested to him by the Constitution. For the last 165 years this document has been shredded to smithereens. When individuals do not fight (or just don’t care) it is very easy for those who wish to control to seize the opportunity to do so.
This country’s politicians and corporate conglomerates have taken advantage of the weak (us) over the last six generations. The average American finds it perfectly acceptable to see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil and let their rights evaporate little by little. MAGA will continue to make excuses for the tyranny that is occurring before our eyes…he is making our streets safer, he is destroying woke culture, he is exporting people who are here illegally, etc. There is also the behind the scenes that no one is talking about…the “correcting” of history, the destruction of the press, the burning of the flag, the move toward cryptocurrency, the transfer of wealth to his own family.
Trump is not long for this world, but those that wish for power and abhor the middle class are seeing how easy it is to control the masses where there will be little pushback.
To your point:
‘People landed in federal courtrooms on the direction of the Justice Department on charges that, in most jurisdictions, would be handled by local authorities.
‘Hundreds have been arrested since President Donald Trump’s crime crackdown flooded the nation’s capital with federal agents and troops. What’s happening to them after their arrests is alarming many defense attorneys — and at least one judge — as the cases stack up in federal courtrooms.’

Shades of Jim Comey and his Operation Exile in Richmond, many years ago.
How I deplore fedgov-worshipping Republicans, from Ape Lincoln to the MAGA dictator.
Your final sentence is likely to prove prophetic.
State industry, comrades:
‘The Department of Defense (DOD) is weighing taking equity stakes in defense contractors such as Lockheed Martin and others, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in an interview on Tuesday.
‘Speaking on CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” Lutnick was asked about whether the Trump administration would attempt to acquire equity stakes in companies, days after the U.S. government acquired 10 percent of Intel stock for around $9.5 billion.
“Oh, there’s a monstrous discussion about defense,” Lutnick said in response, adding that Lockheed is now “basically an arm of the U.S. government” because it makes most of its revenue through federal contracts.’

Stupidest thing I ever heard of — a formula for even more waste and unaccountability.
Recall that the Defense Department can’t pass an audit. It has no business buying companies.
I’m getting dog-sick of Soviet Republiclowns. Time to ditch these stinking, Israel-whipped RINO communists and elect some actual, you know, Americans.
A man can’t be a woman. Basically an arm of the gov’t. Department of War. Fed subject to presidential oversight a.k.a not “independent.” There’s a pattern here. In a way, OF & Co. seem to be enjoying telling it like it is these days. What next? Social Security is simply another gov’t run transfer payment scheme? Watch for it.
