Rep. Thomas Massie did a just awful thing the other day. He embarrassed Trump’s attorney general, Pam Bondi – who embarrassed herself on live TeeVee by talking about the stock market is doing great and that’s what people ought to be focusing on, rather than the grotesque Epstein revelations (about which you can find more, here).
Trump could not let that slide.
More finely, he could not help releasing another childishly explosive, utterly delusional fact-free rant via his social media platform. It began by praising Bondi:
“AG Pam Bondi, under intense fire from the Trump Deranged Radical Left Lunatics, was fantastic at yesterday’s Hearing on the never ending saga of Jeffrey Epstein,” the president wrote. 
Italics added.
Fantastic? If that’s “fantastic,” we can only wonder what outstanding would look like. There is, of course, near-universal agreement that Bondi’s performance was crash and burn bad. She came across as someone who is hiding something and knows she is. And her prattle about the stock market when the issue at hand is whether women – young girls – were being systematically trafficked by a ring that may have leveraged kompromat to control kompromatted American political figures is something that most Americans regard as more important to get to the bottom of than being ever-so-happy that corporate America is making bank.
Trump went on to say about Massie that he is a “Republican” – air fingers quotes are Trump’s, to suggest that putting America rather than Trump (and Israel) first is something Republicans ought not to do – is also a “Loser” (the president likes to use capital letters when they are ungrammatical, for emphasis) as well as a “Sanctimonious RINO” who “made a total fool of himself yesterday, fighting aimlessly against a hopeless agenda of Hate and Stupidity, as most clearly stated by his crashing Job Approval Numbers in the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky.”
Italics added.
So the president of the United States thinks it is “hateful” and “stupid” to want to get to the bottom of the Epstein business. Why would he say that? It’s despicably callous, for one thing. It shows he doesn’t give a single damn about what Epstein and his associates – one of whom is incontrovertibly the president himself – did to those women and possibly underage girls, too. Setting aide the despicability of this on a human level, it is beyond politically stupid for Trump to say what he is saying. Women are after all half the vote – and most men like women and do not like men who are interested in little girls.
The man comes off – like Bondi – as a cornered rat. It is not a good look. And it gets worse. The president goes on to praise himself as a “very popular President who has brought our Country back from the brink of extinction, and very quickly, at that!”
Like Muttley from Wacky Racers, he seems to want a biscuit – or a medal.
The fact is he’s not very popular. As of right now, the best numbers give him a 46 percent approval rating and the worst 36 percent. Either number is not exactly “very popular” but Trump’s delusional view of himself as il magnifico arises from the feedback loop of praise emanating from his sycophants, who dare not criticize him because anything shy of praise results in them being cast out as “traitors” (viz, Marjorie Taylor Green) and “losers.” He is a kind of Marie Antoinette figure, who thinks all is well because there’s plenty of cake to eat in Versailles.
Then he rehashes the getting tired 2024 campaign talking points, such as biological men playing in women’s sports that Americans cannot afford to care about anymore, because while the stock market is doing bonzers, most Americans aren’t. Trump and Bondi and their amen chorus continue to dig their own political graves by conflating the Dow with how people who work for a living are doing. The billionaire investor class is not the middle class or the working class but people such as Trump either do not comprehend this or – far worse – just don’t give a shit.
Of a piece with their not giving a shit about Americans’ completely warranted disgust over what they have learned so far about this Epstein Business. They want to know everything and aren’t going to abide being told to “move on” to things the people who clearly don’t want them to know anything about say must be “moved on” to.
It’s not going over well. It ought not to go over well. We’re talking about what is inarguably the most sordid – and possibly treasonous – scandal to erupt within the memory of any living American. People want answers and they want accountability. Nothing less is going satisfy, much less get them to forget and shut up about it, as Trump seems to hope they will (as they have already forgotten about “COVID” and those “beautiful” drugs pushed on them by the president, that enriched monsters such as Albert Bourla).
Trump says the man he has chosen to replace Massie – via the state primary in Kentucky – is “crushing him in the polls.” But no actual poll suggests anything of the sort. The fact is Massie is extremely popular in his home state, probably because he is seen as someone who actually does put America – rather than Trump (and Israel) first. We’ll know the truth come May, at any rate. If Massie blows Ed Gallrein – Trump’s choice to unseat Massie – into political oblivion, it will be seen as an early indicator of which way the winds are blowing.
They may not be blowing in a direction the president likes. And it is likely if that turns out to be the case, rather than acknowledge the fact and change course, Trump will only bloviate harder and worse than he already has.
If so, the man is not merely delusional. He is insane.

The “centrist Democrat” Winner
… according to the New York Slimes:
‘[Governor] Spanberger spent a lot of her time trying to push her Democratic colleagues toward the middle, and rarely successfully. After the party lost more than a dozen House seats in 2020, she let loose in an infamous conference call with her party, leaked to The Washington Post, saying that “we need to not ever use the word ‘socialist’ or ‘socialism’ ever again.”
https://archive.ph/lXzOh#selection-5179.0-5183.87
In other words, LIE: paint yourself as a ‘moderate’ until your hard-left socialist party seizes the power to grab citizens’ guns and redistrict the state for permanent one-party rule.
‘Ms. Spanberger said that one positive aspect of her new job was the authority to change things with a stroke of a pen, as she did with ICE. “It does suit my personality,” she said.’
What’s been missing in this control-freak bitch’s entire life is a man who would deliver an urgently needed message to her: NO.
‘Ms. Spanberger formed a tight bond with the group of women with national security backgrounds elected to the House that same year. Among them were Mikie Sherrill, now the governor of New Jersey, and Elissa Slotkin, now a U.S. senator from Michigan.’ — NYT
This is a quite sinister development. The ‘intelligence community’ with which Spanberger and Slotkin were associated obtains an unconstitutional black budget that’s said to be in the $60 billion range, though only the self-appointed Gang of Eight gets to see it.
All of this is wholly illegal. Service in the extraconstitutional fedgov intelligence agencies should be an automatic bar to holding state office. Ditch these spooks.
Another domino to fall was the QAnon psyop. Remember all that bullcrap about Obama and Hillary being executed at Gitmo, or Trump is playing multi-dimensional chess, and trust the plan?
Wake up everyone, Trump is at the center of the corruption, Trump was a major player, running his own trafficking operation. Trump and Epstein both had Florida mansions and trafficking operations. They were both doing it.
What Bondi is trying to do is stop discovery of very very bad things Trump was doing at Mar a Lago and any implication to Israel.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-slapped-with-310m-lawsuit-alleging-epstein-identical-trafficking-operation/ar-AA1Rz4WZ
“President Donald Trump has been slapped with a $310 million lawsuit alleging that the president engaged in a “trafficking venture” that was “identical in every material respect” to the sex-trafficking operation allegedly spearheaded by Jeffrey Epstein.”
Wake up people! Trump is one of the kingpins in the worldwide child sex trafficking and cannibal food industry.
Morning, Jack!
The “Q” thing continues to bedazzle some. The major hub for this being “Patel Patriot” and “Devolution,” which continues to assert the military took over back in 2020 and has been working to save the country – through Trump – since then. It makes my teeth crack.

MSN – BREAKING: Pam Bondi Says DOJ Released ‘All’ Epstein Files — Names Trump, Biden, Zuckerberg, Tucker Carlson Among ‘Politically Exposed Persons’
The Justice Department said it has released “all” files tied to dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, according to a letter sent by Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche to lawmakers on Saturday night.
Bondi and Blanche’s letter said the DOJ has fulfilled its obligation to release files as part of the Epstein Transparency Act and outlined why it redacted certain portions.
“In accordance with the requirements of the Act, and as described in various Department submissions to the courts of the Southern District of New York assigned to the Epstein and [Ghislaine] Maxwell prosecutions and related orders, the Department released all ‘records, documents, communications and investigative materials in the possession of the Department’ that ‘relate to’ [Epstein],” the letter said.
It also included a lengthy list of government officials and “political exposed persons” who were named in the files.
That list included President Donald Trump, ex-President Joe Biden, Tucker Carlson, Bruce Springsteen, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, California Sen. Adam Schiff (D), Robert De Niro, Alec Baldwin, Barbara Streisand, ex-Vice President Kamala Harris, and former President Barack Obama, among many others.

“No records were withheld or redacted ‘on the basis of embarrassment, reputational harm, or political sensitivity, including to any government official, public figure, or foreign dignitary.'”

there is this conspiracy theory that Bondi is a handpicked Mossad asset, like all of Trump’s appointments, and because Trump is not attacking Iran, NuttyYahoo just pulled the plug on the Trump regime
Morning, Jack –
Minimally, Bondi is an opportunistic hack who will do/say whatever she thinks will please her boss and thus redound to her benefit. There is no decency in this woman. She just showed that, for all of us to see. But there is no decency in Trump, either. If there were, he’d have fired Bondi immediately, Instead, he praised her. It speaks volumes.

MTG resigned because of death threats and no-one took her seriously–now they are calling Massie crazy. Trump yelled at MTG, “My friends will get hurt!” Bondi accused a Jew Dem of being anti-semitic (Hate!) during the hearing for wanting Bondi to meet with the victims. [Shows you who the predators are.] Trump tweets: “fighting aimlessly against a hopeless agenda of Hate and Stupidity.” Massie seems to have correctly understood Trump’s warning to him even though Trump’s words are scrambled.

“I am not suicidal,” Massie wrote Friday. “I eat healthy food. The brakes on my car and truck are in good shape. I practice good trigger discipline and never point a gun at anyone, including myself. There are no deep pools of water on my farm and I’m a pretty good swimmer.”
Does not sound like a random post, does it? “I have met some very bad people, none as bad as Trump. Not one decent cell in his body. So yes – dangerous.” — Jeffrey Epstein, in a February 2017 email to former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers

“[Trump] is a kind of Marie Antoinette figure, who thinks all is well because there’s plenty of cake to eat in Versailles.”
I think Joseph Stalin is a more apt comparison. Unfortunately for Trump, he doesn’t (yet) have Stalin’s power to order purges of his enemies.
I agree, Liberranter –
With a caveat. Stalin was someone who did wet work himself. Trump is (my opinion) the kind. of guy who has others do his wet work. There are plenty such in his orbit – genuinely evil people. Bondi is one. Miller another.

Hi Jim,
WSJ had a good in depth article a day or two about what a hot mess ICE Barbie is, even most of Trumpenstein’s inner circle want her gone. My favorite anecdote was her firing the pilot when they landed at her destination because he forgot to bring her blankie. Then she had to rehire him to fly her back because no other pilots/flights were available. Pilot should have said f*ck off bitch, start walking.
“‘Administrative subpoenas were only sparingly used in the past,”
Hahahahahaha! Good one, NYT!
I don’t know if anyone saw Trump’s Truth Social post regarding the Bondi hearing, but IIRC, he claimed that Bondi did a fantastic job & made a fool of Thomas Massie. From what I saw of that hearing, however, it was Thomas Massie who made a fool of Pam Bondi, NOT the other way around, and there seems to be little to no difference between Pam Bondi and AGs who preceded her in the last few presidential administrations.
The Bondi hearing was the Hindenburg crashing into the Titanic at Chernobyl, and now we find out the DOJ has only 4 computers for our elected reps to read the unredacted files and we also found out Bondi is tracking what each Congressman views, and she printed it all out and show the committee to intimidate them.

I do not differentiate between zionism and judaism, both being one and the same. In fact, zionism is judaism on steroids.
One can easily point out that jews possess traits that not only border on, but are evidence of mental illnesses which are rampant throughout the jewish “tribe”. The official judaic approval of incest in many jewish sects also contributes to mental and other illnesses among jews.
It starts with the genital mutilation of jewish male infants on the eighth day after birth. The foreskin is removed without anesthesia, subsequently the dirty “mohel” (cutter) fellates the infant after the deed is done. This practice of metzitzah b’peh quite often results in STDs being transmitted to the infant by the dirty “mohel”. Attempts to ban the practice have been met with fierce resistance from various jewish interests.
Jews are taught from birth that they are “special” (chosen) and that they are destined to rule “the rest of (gentile) humanity”. Their notion of “tikkun olam” (make the world a better place) is only in place to define “what is good for the jews”, nothing more. This notion of supremacy ties in with their desire to enforce a strict separatism which is intended to isolate them from societies that they reside within. This separatism does not preclude jews from attempting to “rule from within” attempting to change their adopted societies for the worse, a means of “divide and conquer”. Parasitism of civil societies is rampant within judaism and results in the degradation and eventual total destruction of their “host” societies.
At the same time, jews claim to be “victims” who are hated for “just being jews” (which is totally false). It is jewish behavior itself that is the problem, the “double standard” that exists within judaism, demanding collective responsibility and collective punishment in perpetuity, but only for gentiles. Jews insist on individual responsibility and individual punishment for themselves but not for gentiles. Witness Germany (still) being deemed collectively responsible and being continually punished to this very day for supposed acts and transgressions committed against jews over 80 years ago.
This duality of “chosenness” and “victimhood” serves judaism well as it “keeps jews on the plantation”, while being a very effective foil against criticism of jews by “the rest of us” (gentiles).
However this combination of traits (duality) contributes to jewish mental illness as it is impossible for normal, healthy human beings to reconcile the two.
Jewish mental illness manifests itself in in its notion of supremacy, relegating all gentiles as lesser beings, to be used (and abused) for the benefit of the jews. These teaching are as old as judaism itself and have served to justify (in jewish minds) the many genocides of gentiles over the millennia as well as today’s genocides taking place in Gaza and the West Bank.
Jews are so brazen, they are proud of their genocidal exploits which is normal under judaic teachings. Under jewish doctrine, nothing is to remain alive, men, women, toddlers, infants, newborns, animals and plants are all to be destroyed.
Observe the jewish “mitzvah” (commandment) declared by jewish rabbis encouraging rape of gentile victims in order to “reduce stress”. Those who exposed these practices were themselves prosecuted for revealing “state secrets” while the rapists themselves were celebrated as “heroes”. Sick!
Every jewish holiday is a celebration of total death and destruction of all living things. We are seeing this very thing taking place in real time with today’s genocides in Gaza and the West Bank. Talmudic teachings also reinforce the supremacy that exists within judaism.
Slavery of gentiles has never been repudiated within judaism and among jews, is still seen as a valid “human condition” to be exploited. It is only modern-day thinking that keeps jews from reviving this vile practice. Until the demise of slavery within the United States of America, a thriving slavery operation dominated by jews was the norm. From the slave ships and crews, to finance and insurance operations to the slave auction houses themselves, slavery was entirely a jewish operation. Of course, the slave auction houses were always closed on the jewish Sabbath.
Unlike Christianity and the jews’ mortal enemy Catholicism, jews have no concept of sin when committed against the “goyim” (gentiles). Talmudic teachings (which all jews subscribe to) regard all “goyim” (gentiles) as “lesser beings, created and given long lives in which to serve the jews”. Taking advantage of “goyim” (gentiles) is seen as a positive trait within judaism, the sense of “respect for one’s fellow man”, the “golden rule”, and being treated as “one would expect to be treated” and normal rules of civilized behavior are absent within judaism.
I am convinced that judaism itself is a bronze-age genocidal cult that must be placed on the ash heap of history.
The survival of the world depends on it…
Judiaism is clandestine, zionism is overt. Their aims are the same.
Spot on comment once again.
“zionism is judaism on steroids.”
Zionism is the perfect logical political expression of Judaism. Modern Zionist Jews are acting out Old Testament verse by verse literally.

Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”

The USA made a “gentleman’s agreement with the Houthis to protect USA military ships. Aircraft carriers are floating hulks that cannot move easily.

“Rural white voters now find themselves with little protection from state governments dominated by non-white, urban politicians.
…But real Virginia lives on and, as in the past, its future may lie in secession — secession within the Union, rejoining a state whose leaders seem eager to welcome rural counties. If the real Virginia is to be anything more than a suburb of the federal Leviathan, it should look west.”
Morning, X –
Yes. This is something discussed around here among my friends. How to move forward is the thing no one has come up with a good answer to as yet.
Article IV of the Constitution allows for this to happen, but it requires the consent of both affected state legislatures as well as the consent of Congress.
It is certain that neither Richmond nor D.C. would approve, although Charleston likely would assent.
‘State Senator Chris Rose introduced a bill in November formally inviting 27 counties from Virginia and three from western Maryland to join West Virginia.’ — amren article
States such as Virginia remind one of the borders blindly drawn in the middle east by European colonizers. They divided the region into nations, scrawling arbitrary lines on maps that took no account of the people and tribes living there.
Ape Lincoln’s hiving off of West Virginia in 1863 was patently illegal, since Virginia did not consent. Now if Appalachian Virginia can escape rule by the NoVa hive — SF writer William Gibson called it BAMA, the Boston Atlanta Metropolitan Axis — old Ape’s wartime theft will be turned on its head for a new purpose. 🙂
And if the secession/partition moves forward, the federal leviathan will no doubt cite “constitutional” reasons for its illegality.
Funny, isn’t it, how “The Constitution” is a sacrosanct instrument essential to the government of the Republic whenever it can be used as a weapon by the State, but is nothing more than “a goddamned piece of paper” when the people attempt to use it as a shield from the State’s overreach.
The U.S. Constitution is a dead letter at this point…..purists like Judge Napolitano decry unconstitutional acts by the T-Rump administration but IMO that’s a useless behavior. The correct position is to admit that the federal government is illegitimate from top to bottom and proceed from there, otherwise you are just masturbating over pretty words. As always YMMV.
RE: “The correct position is to admit that the federal government is illegitimate from top to bottom”
What does that mean?
RE: “the federal government is illegitimate from top to bottom and proceed from there”
What does that mean? How, does one proceed from there?
It means that government action is the problem, not any solution……it also means that one can better serve one’s needs by participating in parallel frameworks that work because they are voluntary and effective. For instance, buy real food from local farmers thus reinforcing their efforts and benefiting both parties..intellectually participating in forums like this one where you can freely exchange ideas….Raider Girl has some excellent experiences in such arenas and so does Eric….but trusting anything coming from any agency of government is unlikely to benefit one.
“purists like Judge Napolitano…”
He’s a Johnny-come-lately. Where were those principles when he was issuing decrees from the bench? I have not heard any mea culpas from him, and until I do, I will continue to think of him as just the fraud from Fox News who has suckered people into following him.
secession within the union is unworkable and total nonsense. just take your VA for example. how long will it be before your “new state” starts behaving like the others?
And that is why, even though it may seem to be the moral answer, non-voting and chain-smoking Cheetos from your parent’s couch in the basement is immoral. It’s consigning you and your progeny to the whims of whomever shows up.
I know it’s off-topic, but what are your thoughts on the new revocation of the 2009 “endangerment finding”. Supposedly, it doesn’t restrict auto manufacturers anymore regarding CO2 emissions.
Morning, Dood –
It’s a step in the right direction but I fear it is only a temporary abatement. The regulatory apparats from which this stuff emanates have not been dismantled and so the regs could be revived and strengthened whenever the political winds blow in a different direction.
True. I don’t know what you have to do to light a fire under the Republicans. Maybe light a fire under them? (Just kidding, glowie. Sort of.) Most of them are/were NeverTrumpers, so will do anything at all to keep him from achieving anything, even things that would be good for their constituents and Americans in general. They would even go so far as to let the DemonCraps get back in power and go back rounding up MAGAs for not being in DC on J6.
Hi Dood,
If we end up with a President Gavin Newsom (or someone like him) after Trump’s term ends, you can count on him (or her) to reenact the Obama era “Endangerment finding” and potentially implement permanent mask mandates disguised as “Stopping the spread of CO2” or charging ALL living humans a CARBON TAX, as we’re all carbon based life forms, and exhale CO2 every time we breathe. We’re also to belieeeeeeeeeeve that CO2 is DANGEROUS to the cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimate, even though CO2 is PLANT FOOD.
Trump 2.0 is in a death spiral. And it is no stretch of the imagination that the Trump regime is going to end badly, potentially not even making to 2028 or even the midterms (Nov. 3rd).
It is obvious that Trump is being blackmailed by Israel and forced to do their bidding, perhaps even launching a huge attack on Iran, which could easily go horribly wrong for the Zionists. Trump should resign, but he won’t. He has to forced out of office. And now Congress has a lever, Bondi is openly defying Congressional orders to release the Epstein files on the conditions set by Congress.
Bondi doxxed the Epstein victims by having their names published, when it was specifically stated to not do this. And she redacted the names of the perps (to protect them) when Massie says she was told to do the opposite. IMO the reason is obvious, Trump wants his accusers dead. This clearly an Eyes Wide Shut movie script, the forces of darkness want their accusers dead, they published the names and addresses of their accusers. Duh. Clearly Trump is a gangster wanting his enemies dead.
CNN – “Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna charged Monday that powerful men are being protected by redactions to the Epstein files after viewing the documents in full.
“What I saw that bothered me were the names of at least six men that have been redacted that are likely incriminated by their inclusion in these files,” Massie, a Kentucky Republican, said, adding that “it took some digging to find them.”
But the pair would not reveal the names of the men and only said the six included at least one US citizen, a foreigner, along with “three or four” other individuals whose nationalities they could not immediately determine. Massie said one individual was “pretty high up in a foreign government,” and Khanna said “one of the others is a pretty prominent individual.”
The lawmakers are now calling on the Justice Department to un-redact the names of the six individuals, but left open the possibility of revealing their identities through a committee hearing or on the House floor in the future.
“I would like to give the DOJ a chance to say they made a mistake and over-redacted, and let them un-redact those men’s names. That would be, probably be the best way to do it,” Massie said.”

What this means the Epstein files is now about defying Congress, and the hearings have now taken on a life of their own. I am old enough to remember Watergate.
Duck Search Assist – “The congressional hearings on Watergate, officially known as the Senate Select Committee on Presidential Campaign Activities, began on May 17, 1973, to investigate the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters and the subsequent cover-up by the Nixon administration. These hearings were significant in revealing the extent of the scandal and ultimately led to President Nixon’s resignation”
“The televised hearings began on May 17, 1973, and were broadcast live, reaching millions of Americans. They played a significant role in shaping public opinion and led to the indictment of several administration officials. Ultimately, the hearings contributed to the impeachment process against President Nixon, who resigned on August 8, 1974, marking the first presidential resignation in U.S. history.”
Likewise the real Trump is going to be revealed. Trump’s claim he barely knew Epstein is 100% bullshit, he was in bed with Epstein, trafficking young girls, rape, and maybe worse. I can intuit that Trump is guilty as hell, he is squealing like a stuck pig.
It’s TACO Friday, bitchez:
‘President Trump plans to roll back some tariffs on metals, including on steel and aluminum goods, as he and his administration seek to battle an affordability crisis ahead of the midterm elections. The move comes after he faced a rare rebuke over his tariff regime, as members of his own party crossed lines to vote to scrap Trump’s duties on Canada.
‘Six Republicans in the House of Representatives joined with nearly every Democrat to pass Joint Resolution 72, which seeks to terminate a national emergency that Trump declared last February imposing tariffs on Canada. That came even as Trump openly threatened lawmakers who crossed him, writing that Republicans who oppose tariffs “will seriously suffer the consequences come Election [sic] time.”
‘But Trump himself appears to be worried about the consequences, as The Financial Times reported that the current 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum could soon see carveouts, in a similar manner to Trump’s reductions on certain food imports last year.’

How I love to see the Fat Orange Flake do what Repugniclowns do best: LOSE — while America wins for a change!
Mostly agree, Eric. Bondi’s performance was awful. The sad part about the Epstein release is that it’s no longer possible to believe anyone, anyone will face charges. Ghislane effectively really did traffic sex slaves to no one but Epstein.
At this point, I don’t see why the hesitation to drop the hammer. At the very least, those “victims” who raised their hands in the hearings should have their names un-redacted. Scare quotes because I no longer believe much of their story. Name names or it never happened.
What I am seeing is that the Congressional investigation into Epstein is now taken on a life of it’s own. I now believe the perps are going to charge, tried, and convicted. Trump has met his Waterloo with this issue, the dead want justice.
For awhile there Eric was writing how the Epstein scandal was being swept under the rug never to be seen again. But along came Massie, who teamed up with a Democrat, and a miracle occurred, Congress actually voted to have the files released.
(I hope Eric replies to this comment)
“In November 2025, Congress approved the Epstein Files Transparency Act through a series of dramatic legislative maneuvers that overcame months of political resistance.”
Congress can not fix any major problem, thus there is this propensity to justify their existence to stage these dog and pony shows and engage in heated debate. The intense emotions (which is energy in motion, e-motion) in the heated Bondi debate guarantees this issue is not going away.
Have no doubt about this, Congress now has captured the entire world on the edge of their seats watching them engage in this hearing (just like Watergate). A scandal, a mystery, the Trump regime defying a Congressional order. Bondi has intentionally defied the law makers. This is not going away, the issue was hanging by a thread, but now, it has taken a life of it’s own. Bondi is willfully defying Congress. This is now about who has the power and authority.
This is bigger than Trump and Congress combined, I had this dream a week ago, a horrible dream, where I saw someone had dumped carcasses over a forest road edge, and I saw this pile of bones and skins moving, so I stared in disbelief, and all of a sudden a half digested little kid slid out from under a cow hide and was holding a cell phone. When I awoke I new what the dream was about, the victims of this horrible abuse were calling out from the grave.
This issue is clearly about light vs dark. The forces of good vs. the forces of evil. Thomas Massie is the shiny knight on the hill overcoming the army of satanic darkness consuming the nation. Trump and Bondi shrieking are the guilty who are cornered and facing execution.
In the dream the half-digested kid had no skin, and after researching this, I found out that years ago Hillary Clinton was accused of frazzledrip – “a yet to be proven conspiracy theory that emerged as an offshoot of Pizzagate. It centers on the claim that a “snuff film” exists showing Hillary Clinton and her aide, Huma Abedin torturing a young girl, removing her face to wear as a mask, and drinking her blood to harvest “adrenochrome”.”
That kind of horror was dismissed, most people can not believe Hillary would do such things, but now with the Epstein file releases, and all the horrible video evidence of what actually was going on at Trump’s Mar a Lago, and golf ranch, and Epstein Island and NYC apartment, is causing people to relook at past evidence of wild claims of snuff films, child torture, human cannibalism.
Don’t take my word for it, examine the evidence yourself:
I dare everyone to scroll through these short vids:

From your lips to God’s ears! I wish I shared your optimism. Here’s what I think goes down:
Bill Clinton or Bill Gates or someone equally prominently displayed gets hauled into court, the attorneys say, “Judge, it is going to be impossible to empanel a jury who has not formed an opinion on the Epstein files.” The judge might try to go through voir dire just for appearances, but apart from some coot in a cabin in northern Idaho and a bunch of 48 IQ types, none will be found, and the judge will “reluctantly” throw it out.
Then they go after John Roberts. Whether or not he’s in the files, we’ve seen how this goes down with J6. Motion to dismiss and change of venue denied. Guilty verdict after enough time for the jury to get a free meal. Maximum sentence.
Repeat with Kavanaugh because he’s Kavanaugh, and they already hate him enough to make it sail through. Then Gorsuch, Alito and, for good measure, Thomas. They let Conehead slide because she’s a woman and will cave.
Recognize the playbook from the French Revolution or the October Revolution? Hope so. It’s headed your way, and if you have ever posted on a site like this, you are in the crosshairs.
Ghislaine trafficked slaves to no-one but Epstein? Tell that to Prince Andrew, Epstein’s “Super Bowl Trophy.” Look at the paintings in Epstein’s house of Bush and Clinton in his blue semen-stained dress. Israel and the Jews working for Israel do nothing but suck the blood and mock the U.S. — just like they do the rest of the world.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/pHATY9wk8WE
So who went to prison? The Andrew Saga says little except that for once in his life, Charles wasn’t a complete jagoff.
(1) First you try to cover for Jew Ghislaine (she only procured children to Epstein). (2) Then you cast doubt on the children “victims” who accused her (in quotes just like the jew press does about any Israeli war crime (Hamas/Palestinians allege and they’re terrorists; the IDF and Israel deny everything. If a Jew AG does release the video of the IDF gang sodomizing a Palestinian then the Jew AG gets fired and sent to jail while the IDF sodomizers appear as heroes on Israeli TV). (3) Then you say the ‘victims’ names should be unredacted (which Massie has already accused the Trump justice dept of doing). (4) But no interest in the names of the perpetrators, like this one, Jewish PM Ehud Barak (the right wing jew press publishes his pic but no, he won’t go to jail–not for his war crimes either):
“Giuffre previously accused former Prime Minister of Israel Ehud Barak of rape. [She doesn’t name him in her memoir for fear he will “hurt” her but has in .]
“She was ordered to escort him to a cabana, but the man made it clear as soon as they were alone that “he wanted violence.”
“He repeatedly choked me until I lost consciousness and took pleasure in seeing me in fear for my life. Horrifically, the Prime Minister laughed when he hurt me and got more aroused when I begged him to stop. I emerged from the cabana bleeding from my mouth, vagina, and anus. For days, it hurt to breathe and to swallow,” Giuffre wrote.
The politician “raped me more savagely than anyone had before.”
She immediately rushed to Epstein and begged him not to send her back to the Prime Minister.
“I got down on my knees and pleaded with him. I don’t know if Epstein feared the man or if he owed him a favor, but he wouldn’t make any promises, saying coldly of the politician’s brutality, ‘You’ll get that sometimes,’” she continued.
“Sometime later, Epstein sent her back to the politician for a second encounter conducted entirely in a cabin aboard the Lolita Express. Although the experience was far less violent, Giuffre spent the entire hour in fear he would suddenly strike or choke her, she wrote.”

Authoritarian scum like you aren’t interested in justice for crimes committed by your gang. You are so moral and so going to save the country for your grandchildren from the leftists who are destroying it while you bomb civilians, rape children, sodomize prisoners, and pillage the world.
“(1) First you try to cover for Jew Ghislaine (she only procured children to Epstein). “
Eric’s irony tags aren’t working properly. I was referring to the meme with more or less the same message.
“(2) Then you cast doubt on the children “victims” who accused her”
I did nothing of the kind. Obviously those who accused her named names, right?
“(4) But no interest in the names of the perpetrators,”
Personally, I have no interest in any of the names, no. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg. But since we allegedly have a justice system, I would like to see justice done, which, in this case, probably requires impalement and leaving the body to rot.
“while you bomb civilians, rape children, sodomize prisoners, and pillage the world.”
I have done none of these things, nor did I authorize anyone else to do them in my name!
If you have any evidence of your assertion, fine, put up. Otherwise, slander me in your real name like a man and we can let the courts sort it out. Or if you would prefer to fight it out like a man, I’ll go that route. Your call, dick.
(2) “Scare quotes because I no longer believe much of their story. Name names or it never happened.” Your exact words. The victims have named names and have been doing so since the 1990s. Names are in many civil as well as criminal court cases (including against banks) as well as in testimony they gave the FBI–but the FBI is redacting the names of the perpetrators from the files they have released. That’s what Massie and Khanna were complaining about. The politicians and businessmen who sell out the US and rape children need to go to jail too.
The whole thing would have been swept under the carpet but they wanted to get Acosta/Trump–which got Epstein murdered (and Jean Luc Brunel) so they couldn’t name names. Trump says Massie is “aimlessly fighting” (and “hopeless”) because he just wants justice; swamp only uncovers 80 victims to get someone (and only that one person’s name comes out as the horrible villain who must resign now).

(4) (a) You complain about libertarians protesting Israel action in Gaza, so obviously you support bombing civilians–because of your support, Israel drops US bombs on women and children. (b) Rape children (see 2 above); (c) sodomize prisoners. US has a Leahy Law which prohibits sending arms to countries engaged in human rights violations. But you support US arming Israel, a country that sodomizes Palestinian prisoners, and (d) pillage the world: Gazans were just deprived of their homes, shops, oil and gas field. their beach front property–and imprisoned in concentration tent camps; Venezuelans just deprived of their oil and gold; Russian and Chinese tankers are being seized; frozen Russian assets are being “leveraged” for US centric deals; takeover of greenland, canada, cuba, iran. Leftists are the ones who oppose imperialism, but you want to destroy them–I suppose if Trump & Co ever do destroy them you will say you weren’t in favor of killing them all and threaten to sue anyone who quotes your words back at you.

If Trump was smart (he’s not) and stopped listening to his jewish handlers, he could put the whole epstein saga behind hm while leaving the rest of the scum to “take the heat”.
Trump should admit to his transgressions with underage girls (I don’t think he’s a fag), claiming that he was younger and dumber and should have known that what he did was not a good idea. A few “mea culpas”, begging for forgiveness (which would be readily given by most people) and naming names would go a long way to rehabilitate him while bring “the whole diseased jewish temple” down as well as taking the unrepentant world leaders down with it.
Every human being makes mistakes and most own up to them. Admitting one’s mistakes and vowing not to repeat them is considered by most to be therapeutic as well as being admired. Trump should follow that advice…
“If Massie blows Ed Gallrein – Trump’s choice to unseat Massie – into political oblivion, it will be seen as an early indicator of which way the winds are blowing”
Especially if Trump goes to war and especially if Trump continues on his Israel first policies which are becoming more egregious by the day, these Zionists are attacking everyone including us. Anyone who Trump or AIPAC endorses is not someone you want to vote for. Israel wants us all dead, especially Netanyahu:

“America is a Golden Calf and we will suck it dry, chop it up, and sell it off piece by piece until there is nothing left but the World’s biggest welfare state that we will create and control.
Why? Because it’s god’s will and America is big enough to take the hit so we can do it again, again and again. This is what we do to countries that we hate. We destroy them very slowly and make them suffer for refusing to be our slaves.”

About the 50K DJIA, we are in a massive speculative bubble caused by loose money, here is a chart to visualize what the hell happened after the Federal Reserve was created:
DJIA arithmetic chart, 100 years of Fed inflation was a rich man’s scam (the chart only goes to 2018, when the Dow was 30K)

On another Unz article, I wrote this last night:
“Pam Bondi tried to misdirect the Epstein files release scandal by blurting out the stock market was over 50,000. She is an idiot. The stock bubble is at record highs because the jewish printing press, (aka the Federal Reserve) has increased the money supply and lowered the cost of money by making interest rates go to zero during ZIRP. The wealth of society is being vacuum up by the 1% because of inflationary policies. Debtors win and savers lose. Currently, banks pay no interest on a savings account, and Blackrock can buy up whole subdivisions with the black magic of Jew money creation. The Dow at 50,000 is only good for the 1%, Pam Bondi really exposed the mentality of the Trump regime – which is fuck everyone for the ultra rich.”
Bondi’s 50K outburst is also curious because of Daneric Elliott Wave count, see here:
https://danericselliottwaves.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/INDU-2-2-1024×824.png
According to his latest wave count, we are at completion, fifth of a fifth wave completion.
IOW Bondi’s 50K may live in Dow infamy, as calling the top. This also happened in 1929, when others at the time were convinced the stock market would continue up forever, a new era.
https://www.history.com/articles/1929-stock-market-crash-warning-signs
In the spring and summer of 1929, the U.S. economy was riding high on the decade-long winning spree called the Roaring Twenties, but the Fed was raising interest rates to slow a booming market and an increasingly vocal minority of economists and bankers were beginning to wonder how long the party could possibly last.
In 1929, popular prognosticators like the Yale economist Irving Fisher swore that if a correction came, it would look like a harmless slump, while others predicted a jagged cliff. But nobody, absolutely nobody, could have foreseen the stock-market slaughter that happened in late October.
On two straight days, dubbed Black Monday and Black Tuesday, the stock market crashed by 25 percent, and by mid-November, it had lost half its value. When the market collapse finally hit rock bottom in 1932, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had withered away by a staggering 90 percent.
Hindsight is 20/20, but there were signals back in the summer of 1929 that trouble lay ahead. What Goes Up…
Gary Richardson, an economics professor at the University of California Irvine and a former historian for the Federal Reserve, has researched the Fed’s role in the 1929 crash and the ensuing Great Depression. He says that the first warning sign of a looming market correction was a general consensus that the blistering pace at which stock prices were rising in the late 1920s was unsustainable.
“People could see in 1928 and 1929 that if stock prices kept going up at the current rate, in a few decades they’d be astronomic,” says Richardson. The question was less about whether the meteoric stock market rise was going to end, but how it would end.
—————-
The warning signs are ample right now, again:
1. Stocks have been increasing in a exponential curve up. Obviously exponential growth WILL reach a limit, and reverse. Technical traders will dump when uptrend lines are violated. As the market goes up exponential, the uptrend lines become steeper and more prone to be violated – which could cause a massive selloff.
2. China is currently selling off US Treasuries because it is at war with the USA. This can only push interest rates up because there are fewer buyers of US Treasuries.
3. Trump is at war with the EU, which holds trillions of US bonds also, they could sell. If we ever reach the day when US Bonds are no longer attractive, and there is some reason for everyone to rid themselves of this toilet paper, interest rates could skyrocket, causing stocks to sell off as capital goes to where it pays the best. It is easy to see that some day, if interest rates were 20% again, the stock market would be much lower.
I would have phrased it a little differently, but you are absolutely right. All that’s happening is hoovering up all wealth in the country that still belongs to the non-elites and transfers it to the elites. Simple application of the Cantillon effect.
Hi Steve,
I tried to explain the Cantillon effect to some of my contemporary friends who were all in on the Covid hoax and taking the boosters….when I explained the method of wealth transfer, they just said it didn’t happen…..of course this is a friend I’ve known for sixty years and he’s an ardent Trump supporter…..I no longer engage his in meaningful conversations because it’s pointless…..I’d like to say he is an anomoly but he’s not the only one.
In my view, Trump got into office under false pretenses and could only have won because the Biden/Harris regime was so fricking bad….but the voters who put Trump over the top will never be fooled again…..I reached that conclusion the last time I voted: for Ron Paul in 2012…..it may not matter now as I think we have wandered into the event horizon of empire collapse.
Well, interesting times indeed.
“I voted: for Ron Paul in 2012…..it may not matter now as I think we have wandered into the event horizon of empire collapse.”
Exactly. When he was booed for suggesting we ought to apply the Golden Rule to foreign policy it was over. Very telling about the psychology of the country.
Once you convince a man that voting for the lesser of two evils is no longer evil, you’re doomed to a ratcheting up of the evil. Obviously this lesser of two evils nonsense was going on long before Ron Paul’s 2012 run but that was when the veil was lifted.
Your bit about, “my contemporary friends who were all in on the Covid hoax and taking the boosters….when I explained the method of wealth transfer, they just said it didn’t happen…..”
That reminded me very much of this other bit:

Your friends were like my Dad and my baby brother and his baby momma, they offloaded their thinking and reasoning onto the so called, “experts”. The priests in white robes wearing stethoscopes!
The article I linked to does a good job of describing the long con and how the minds of your friends were captured.
The Midwestern Doctor, aka The Forgotten Side of Medicine you reference has a Substack presence that brings great information to light. The underlying issue is that trust in government authority has been inculcated into the populace, mostly through public education and media propaganda….for some people the firehose of internet information has reinforced the conditioning. But the cracks in the foundation become more and more difficult to ignore. Those people who continue to believe may have more difficulty processing the cognitive dissonance but the jig is up regardless. Because some of the most deluded are people I love and otherwise respect, for me, writing them off is not an option. No easy answers here folks.
A lot of fantastic comments here guys, please keep it up. I only want to point out that, at least in my estimation, “Midwestern Doctor” is AI generated. For what purpose I can’t say for sure. Discernment is a virtue that is only increasing in value.
Thanks Steve, I was not familiar with the term Cantillon effect, so I looked it up:
What are the economic implications of the Cantillon Effect on income inequality?
“The Cantillon Effect highlights how changes in the money supply can exacerbate income inequality, as those who receive new money first—typically wealthy individuals and institutions—can invest before prices rise, benefiting disproportionately. This creates a cycle where the rich get richer while those who receive money later face higher costs, widening the wealth gap.”

Arab press is breaking the news on Epstein files. “Craig Mokhiber (he resigned from UN over UN not doing anything about Gaza). My interview on Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘one single cause’: Israel”
https://x.com/CraigMokhiber/status/2021281913915269418?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
Epstein was spying on and buying/blackmailing UN as well as US (another UN (at the time) Lajkac has already resigned). Apparently Oslo was another scheme to remove UN from control of Palestine issue just like Trump’s Peace Council. Let the Americans handle it–all of whom are bought/blackmailed by Israel.
Rød-Larsen. “When serving as the director of the Fafo institute in the early 1990s, Rød-Larsen became a key figure in the 1990s negotiations that led to the Oslo Accords—the first-ever agreements between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). He served a pivotal role in the negotiations not only overtly, but in secret back-channel maneuvers and communications—largely arranged and facilitated by him and his wife, Norwegian diplomat Mona Juul. She was able to facilitate high-level contacts with the Norwegian foreign minister, Johan Jørgen Holst, who was instrumental in reaching the Oslo Accords—leading to the peace agreement signing on September 13, 1993 in Washington D.C.[6][7][8][9]
He was a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein, and has worked to bolster contact between the MAGA movement and the European far right (notice how they mention nothing about inside info on Oslo).[1] A January 2026 release as part of the Epstein files indicated that EACH OF ROD LARSEN’S CHILDREN WERE TO BE GIVEN $5 MILLION IN EPSTEIN’S WILL. In a statement, Rød-Larsen’s wife said that the family had not been aware of the contents of the will before the document release, and declined to comment further.[26] Within the files, Rød-Larsen described Epstein as “my best friend” and “a thoroughly good human being.”[2]
Rød-Larsen is under investigation for corruption in Norway”

Unfortunately, there will be no investigation/resignations here because US has 2nd largest Jewish population in the world next to Israel (6 million vs 7 million)–3rd largest is France with 440 thousand. All our politicians are owned so instead of one or two resignations, entire congress, cabinet and presidency would have to resign (from multiple administrations). We’ve seen our resignation: MTG.
As some have already pointed out here, Trump voters (including EP) knew he was a sleaze bag and voted for him anyway. The same with Clinton and Biden. EP isn’t benefiting from the stock market rise, but has implied if he got a $5000 check from Trump or tariffs weren’t affecting him personally with the price of coffee, he’d have a different perspective. Trump is blowing up boats on the high seas. For two years we committed genocide in Gaza under both Biden and Trump in total contravention of Leahy Amendment. Teens were raped, tortured, beat up and maybe killed–but Israel is sodomizing Palestinians with German shepherds and iron rods; we’ve seen the armless and legless children, we’ve seen them running around on fire as they died. Go see The Voice of Hind Rajab–Israelis with their heat seeking devices knew she was alive and could hear her. They shot her and when the ambulance got to her that they had authorized, they murdered the last two drivers and destroyed the last ambulance in North Gaza. In the recent protests in Iran caused by US crashing of Iranian currency (which is happening to us–what goes around comes around) Israeli and CIA agents on the ground burned ambulances, fire engines, fire houses, clinics–because w/sanctions it’s hard for Iran to replace and more Iranians will die when Israel and US start bombing. We don’t care. Look at Pam Bondi and look in the mirror.
Three founding members of the PAC seeking to defeat Thomas Massie — Paul Singer ($1 million), Miriam Adelson ($750K) and John Paulson ($250K) — are all fervid Israel supporters who ‘just happen’ to belong to the ethnicity defined in Israeli statute law as having exorbitant ‘master race’ privileges — starting with the Jewish National Fund which holds 13% of Israel’s land in trust only for use by Jews.
Astonishingly, a branch of this apartheid agency is registered as a 501(c)3 non-profit in the US, despite its rank ethnic discrimination being flatly illegal under US law. This should have resulted in an IRS determination denying JNF-USA charitable status. But instead, donors to JNF-USA receive a charitable tax deduction at our expense — despite the Fair Housing Act of 1968 prohibiting ethnic discrimination in real estate sales.
When it comes to the minority population in Israel and its occupied territories, the situation is reversed. An office in the US Treasury, always headed by a you-know-whom, systematically blocks wire transfers to the West Bank and Gaza for any reason, including charitable aid. In 2008, five officers of the Holy Land Foundation, an Islamic charity in Texas, were convicted and sentenced to long prison terms.
Whether or not one believes that HLF’s donations were aiding Hamas (the de facto civil government of Gaza, which won a 2006 election), the message was clear: you can donate billions to Israel and take a tax deduction; try to help Palestinians (if it’s even possible to send funds) and you’ll be imprisoned. It’s the same policy by which flotillas attempting to deliver aid to Gaza are blocked at sea, sometimes violently [MV Mavi Marmara, May 31, 2010: nine passengers killed by the IDF].
Israel is our misfortune.
Jewish National Fund which holds 13% of Israel’s land in trust only for use by Jews.
If there is going to be state owned land, seems like using it for the benefit of the citizenry is a good idea. Alaska does it. Indian reservations do it. The BLM should either start doing it or sell off all their holdings. It’s just being used to fund oppression, here and overseas.
Are Jews and Israeli citizenry synonomous?
Honestly, I have no idea what the JNF does. First I ever heard of it.
Then again, I obsess more about my own community than I do some sliver of land smaller than my county a third of the way around the world.
And yet little over a year ago so many of you here were running victory laps about Trump and the crew you willingly voted for.
“Trump seems to hope they will (as they have already forgotten about “COVID” and those “beautiful” drugs pushed on them by the president, that enriched monsters such as Albert Bourla).”
No, it seems that all of you are hoping that I’ve forgotten that so many of you voted for Trump. Those drugs were pushed by you and the proxy you knowingly voted into power.
The CARES act stimulus was signed into law by the guy you voted for and put into power. You cashed the checks. You accelerated the inflation we now live with.
When you get down to brass tacks, those of you that voted Trump in 2016 are the ones responsible for what was done during COVID.
Not having learned that lesson in 2020, you put him back in office knowing full well what he is and what he represents. Did you really think he would get better with age? Trump is almost 80 years old. Let that sink in. You knowingly voted for this.
Go ahead, keep trying to distance yourselves from what you voted for.
This is on you folks. Own it. Wear it proudly.
But I do owe you a hearty thank you. You’ve shown the world your hand. You’ve shown the world the type of people you’re willing to vote into power. People, particularly the young, cannot unsee what they have seen and have been forced to endure.
The system is collapsing and I thank you for that. Let’s hope we come out on the other side with more freedom and liberty than what you’ve voted us into.
Hi Boomhauer,
Yes. And I have apologized for voting for him. I got fooled. I allowed my hope that maybe he was not what I knew he was to overcome my rational cynicism.
I think it is ungracious to not accept a sincere apology when it is tendered. I have yet to hear one from anyone who tried to force me to “mask up.” I was also extremely critical of Trump with regard to everything “COVID” and take pride in that. I was among the very few Trump supporters who never once defended him as far as anything having to do with “COVID.”
I think it would be better for well-intended people to stop beating each other up over honest mistakes that were made – and focus (together) on our common enemies.
Someone is going to head up the empire. It is an organism with a life of its own, and when an empire dies, it is always because it wrecked itself and a newer, meaner version steps in and takes over.
Do you support someone evil who intends to make it more tyrannical, more corrupt, more evil?
Or do you support someone with the means to get into the office who will do some good by making bold moves to reverse illegal immigration, eco communism/CO2 phobia, and the infinite smaller wrong things the empire does.
Hercules was set to clean out the Augean stables. Trump is no Hercules, but he is shoveling s#!t out, not in. I’d vote for him again despite his many mistakes. But then, I’m an idiotic, dirty citizen, not a saintly, pure, keyboard warrior.
Yep. Speaking of CO2, looks like we got a win there, at least for the next 3 years. Now if the do-nothing Rs in Congress would just get with the program..
Trump got the votes he did because no other candidate seemed capable of making real changes for the better. Trump was, in most Americans’ minds, an “outsider,” not part of the political old boy network that has been destroying the country from the inside for decades.
Of course it was all pure naivete. We forgot (or perhaps chose not to believe) that no one gets wealthy and powerful without paying tribute to and playing ball with the political class. Orange Man didn’t become a billionaire in New York by refusing to kiss (((tribal))) ass or refusing to play the role of “Shabbos Goy.” Indeed, we would never have even heard of Donald Trump if he had refused to do either of those two things. Not only would he never have become a billionaire, he also might probably have “met with an unfortunate accident” in his youth, depending on how greatly he displeased or disrespected the (((tribal elders))).
So in terms of the next election, it doesn’t matter one dessicated dog turd whom the hoi polloi vote for – or even if they vote at all. A figurehead of the One Percent’s choosing, wholly owned and controlled by Israel, is what they’re going to get as their “president.” Trump was elected this time because he’s the man (((the tribe))) wanted and needed in the White House at the time. And since he’s already becoming a liability, they’ll eventually get rid of him, too.
What’s laughable is people who think that putting Democrats back in charge will magically fix the problems we’ve faced for the past several years. Just look at the Biden regime. It became obvious during COVID that the Biden regime was looking out NOT for “Public health”, but Big Pharma when the demented old fool ORDERED people to take an experimental COVID jab to work a job. And people actually still think that Joe Biden & Barack Obama were “Symbols of decency”.
Great comment. I only challenge the idea that not voting makes no difference. Granted it was a fiction, but in the very best book Taylor Caldwell ever wrote, “Devil’s Advocate” it was the masses indifference/laxity that shook the foundations of tyranny (with help from infiltrated agents purposefully accelerating said tyranny).
Yeah, I don’t buy it. Voter turnout in some elections is under 20%, sometimes single digits. That does not dissuade them. It’s just that the activists end up in power.
Look at Virginia. Everyone and his dog knew the Dims intended to go whole hog on gun control. There are over 6 million voters, and around 44% are gun owners. Had they all shown up, that’s 2.7 million votes right there. Spanberger got 1.9 million. You get what you get because the activists show up.
Whose this “all of you” you speak of, Boomhauer? I went to war with the world over “COVID.” I never wore a fucking mask or injected myself with anything. I refused (and continue to refuse) to conduct business with anybody who pushed that shit. I did my best to get all those around me to take a similar stand. I was able to talk some friends, family and strangers out of the poison shot. I took no CARES act money (even though I could have).
The fact is, we’re given a binary choice: evil or what we perceive to be a lesser evil. I’ve voted purely as a defense mechanism to avoid evil for what I (perhaps wrongly) perceived to be lesser evil. We don’t get a choice of electing nobody. If I could I would. Let’s say we “learned that lesson in 2020,” then what? What would be the state of the US right now? Kamala? Would we be existing in a Utopia right now?
What’s your recipe?
Exactly correct. Given the choices we had (Biden acting like he has dementia and looking like a corpse, cackling Kamala-the-Air-Head, or Trump) Trump seemed like the best option. Looking back at so many of the Presidential elections, and far too many Senate elections, the choices were the same – crap on the one hand and poop on the other. Which to choose? You can just opt-out, not vote – and I did for many years – but then when you get what you get…well…
If I had to do it over again, I’d still make the same choice. We saw what happened under Biden, and it wasn’t pretty. Kamala would’ve been a younger, more progressive Biden. I won’t apologize for voting for Trump – but I do agree that we got conned. It wasn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last.
Unfortunately, I think the only “recipe” is a place none of us really want to go.
I didn’t vote for him, but my state is far enough red that my vote made no difference. But, yes, if the choice were left to me, I’d take the possibility of something different to another four years of Merrick Garland throwing people in prison for not being in DC. No hesitation.
Knowing what I know now, would I choose “See No Evil” Pam over Merrick? In a heartbeat.
The problem with Bondi is she’s an aged-out Barbie doll who thinks she’s a lawyer. This administration is beyond being a shipwreck.
Indeed, Todd –
She strikes me as the kind of woman who rode her own tits to status. But when all you have is tits – and you’re pushing 60 – you haven’t got much left to offer.
Yup.
Here’s Pam Bondi. Probably from the early 90’s
https://media1.orlandoweekly.com/orlando/imager/happytown-pam-bondi-exposed/u/original/2326730/1440147.jpg
Nope. From 2013. Pam at the “Undie Run”
https://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/happytown-pam-bondi-exposed-2244776/
She looked pretty skanky back then.
Todd is right on this. She was never a good lawyer to start with, but fealty is the only requirement right now.
Pam Blondie was AG of Florida when Epstein was first busted for sex with underage girls. She didn’t do anything about it then, and she certainly isn’t doing anything about it now.
Putting women, especially AMERICAN women, into any position of legitimate governing authority is a recipe for absolute disaster. Both wings of the uniparty have been offering a non-stop stream of evidence for this over the last decade.
It has apparently escaped Trump’s attention that “stonks” performed as well under Biden and Obama than they’ve done under him. Basically, stocks go up all the time…except in those rare instances when they don’t. Today’s stock market reflects the corporate “ecomoney” (tip of the hat to President Camacho), not the everyday Main Street economy. And increasingly, stocks reflect the fact that Main Street’s tax dollars are being used to prop up many of these allegedly “private” companies (e.g. Intel), so who’s kidding whom?
Expensive stocks reflect the loss of value in the dollar. Bondi either is clueless to this or she is asking us to celebrate inflation.
She could end all this criticism of her if she would spend her time exposing and indicting the criminals. She wasn’t hired to do that though. She’s there for cover.
In a manner of speaking, yes. Technically, it’s monetizing the wealth of the country (land, homes, whatever) and the Cantillon effect transfers it to the wealthy. Subtle but important distinction.
This monetizing of the wealth of the country, or “tokenization” is the real story I have a feeling the Epstein drama is distracting from. Excellent story on it at The Wine Press: https://thewinepress.substack.com/p/everything-will-be-tokenized-247
‘Everything Will Be Tokenized, 24/7, And AI-Assisted’ – World Governments Summit Discusses The New World Financial System
“The product should include tokenized real-world assets, maybe a piece of that house you talked about, cars, watches, whatever you can tokenize as a real-world asset should be in that super app.”
I dread this, Max –
It’s part of the reason – the main reason – why I decided to do this Trans-Am transformation from factory automatic to manual. I think I may not get the chance ever again, so now’s the time, even though it’s a stretch as far as money. What the Hell, eh? You only live once.
I get the impression that if “Barbie” Bondi ever had to prosecute a major case on her own under federal law, she’d fall apart within three days.
Stocks “always” go up because they are being artificially inflated by the “Fed put” which started with Greenspan in 1987. Hence a forty-year bubble.
It’s not a “free market” at all, it’s a government-rigged Ponzi.
In the “rare” cases when stocks DO drop, the Fed reinflates the bubble and impoverishes the rest of us.

Morning, Mark!
And they wonder why they’re hated… that cop behaved like the thug he is. The assumption is we’re guilty until proved innocent. And it’s legal for these thugs to lie to us in the course of their “investigations.”

Eric,
My sentiments exactly.
There are no polls that show Massie being unpopular and losing to the other guy. Trumps’s posts are always bold and unsubstantiated assertions (otherwise known as BS) meant for his unquestioning low IQ base.
Bondi gave the Ds plenty of ammo for her impeachment in early 2027 after the Ds take the House. Will Massie vote in favor?
Also noteworthy is that all but one R voted in favor of the legislation that Massie sponsored for the release of the files but I didn’t see a single one supporting him by questioning Bondi. Rs are cowardly and weak and deserve to lose.
Massie is a gift to the body politic. All 535 members of Congress should be like him. Unfortunately, the U.S. is no longer a constitutional republic governed by enlightened men such as Massie, it is an empire and Congress is a rubber-stamp just like the Roman Senate was, post-Caesar.
Sad, but what are we gonna do? I’ve concluded that we can’t vote our way out of this. The only way the ZOG empire can be brought to heel is by some exogenous shock to the system or Black Swan event, not by elections. And in the short run at least, such an event is likely to empower the imperial police state, as 9/11 did.
Massie is a gift to the body politic.
Completely agree. He’s among the few congresscrtters whose personal net worth has not inexplicably soared during his time in office. It’s all consistent with the growth of his pre-Congress holdings, if anything, a little underperforming.
