"You know that little voice in your head that keeps you from saying the things you shouldn't say? Yeah, I don't have that!" - Lotus Flower Press

By Rich Kozlovich

2024 Election

Here are the issues Joe Biden and his band of misfits will be running on in 2024, Bidenomics, which is a disaster, the legalization of mind altering drugs, the murder of the innocent unborn calling it health care, destroying American industry and calling it saving the planet, promoting ever transsexual agenda there is, all of which will require a total abandonment of reason, logic, truth, facts, history, real science, and reality.  

No problem, just as long as the Republicans fail to stop all the voter fraud that's going on, that's all Joe will need.  It was all he needed in 2020, and that's all the Democrats will need in 2024. Even in Ohio, where it wasn't believed voter fraud was as big a deal as it is in the rest of the country, we Ohioans are now shocked to find....that's not entirely accurate.

It turns out it's been discovered by civilian volunteers there are massive irregularities in Ohio's voter database, stuff that elected and hired state officials should have known about and fixed.  Why didn't they?

Violence in America

Violence in America is frightening.  Racial violence is pandemic.  Black culture in America is now a criminal culture, and it's not just against whites, Asians, and Hispanic.  Black thugs are non discriminating.  They hate everyone. 

Outrage Over Hung Jury in Brutal Beating of Asian Jewelry Store Owner Despite Clear Video Evidence  The video has been deleted in this link, but it is available in this one.  Trial for man seen on video attacking jewelry store owner ends in hung jury Surveillance video shows 68-year-old Chang Suh being stomped on and hit in the head at least a dozen times - twice with a hammer..........

A hung jury? Ya just gotta be kidden me!   How in the world could there possibly be a hung jury? The video blatantly demonstrates this man was guilty as sin?  I can't prove it but I'm willing to bet there were blacks on that jury who would have acquitted him if he'd publicly murdered a dozen people and filmed it.  And that's been the trend for decades.  Black leadership, prominent black movements, and the media not only excuse that kind of behavior, they lie about the events, and then they applaud it, and they benefit from it.

Eight monsters abducted, tortured, raped a young mother and then murdered her, and these monsters even videoed the whole vile event. Her name was Mahogany Jackson.  What did they have in common? They were all black.

There are entirely too many people, black and white, who sympathize and justify what all  these black criminal thugs are doing!  Fortunately there are some prominent blacks who see this for what it is.  Sharika Soal addressed this horror by saying:  Stop Sympathizing With Black Criminals – It Harms Americans.  

A man in New Orleans was almost beaten to death because he accidentally stepped on a black kid's shoe.  Lesson?  Don't step on a black kid's shoes, but if that's the lesson, one has to wonder how can you line in and/or revive any major city if the inhabitants live in a culture that’s undisciplined, irresponsible, refuse to be educated, and violent? One in which an unacceptable percentage of the inhabitants of the city think that’s just fine and dandy.

I don't think that's possible because they've abandoned all the Judaic/Christian values that make a society stable.  If there is no stable moral foundation for a society, there is no stability, then society becomes a mob.

 

It appears the victim is now finally able to breath on her own, but her head injuries were severe, and I'm betting she will suffer from this beating for the rest of her life, and now, "here's the rest of the story".   The suspect who smashed Kaylee Gain’s head into the pavement claims she’s the victim.  If you watch that video you can only conclude one thing.  No one picked on this girl.....ever.  She looks like she could beat up the guys.

Race and punishment: truth over facts January 8, 2024 The destructive effects of such lies don’t seem to matter to politicians like Joe Biden, who spoke for D/s/cs when he said: “we believe in truth over facts."...... 

Here’s what ‘white rage’ in the heartland really looks like - And what MSNBC partisans are getting woefully wrong........MSNBC won’t report on what local Republicans are doing, because it would bore the audience to death.............You want to know what rural Illinois Republicans want? They send people to a Democrat-supermajority Legislature and hope for some scraps for their districts. Maybe get some of the worst potholes filled, or signage for school zones. They don’t expect much, except more tax increases. There’s no rage. There’s definitely lots of disgust, but no rage. The folks in flyover land don’t really have much time for such. They have bills and taxes to pay.......

In Cleveland 100 year ago you couldn't get a job in the factories if you were a Jew or an Italian, yet they're both successful parts of the American culture today because of family commitment, education, and hard work.  Those are the choices black culture in America has eschewed, and that failure of responsibility belongs to black America, and black America alone.

Stop the blame game, marry the women they're impregnating, raise those children in a nuclear family, get a job, go to work everyday, don't steal from the employer, do the work without five hundred pounds of attitude, educate their children and raise them with those same values.

Problem solved.   Does anyone think that's going to happen any time soon?  Black Americans have been told by Democrats that they are completely unaccountable no matter what they do and are actively backing up that narrative officially. In addition it is insisted now that everyone else put up with this to make up for past racism....or something. This is unsustainable.

Violence by blacks against white people is so prevalent because we reward them for it. It is that simple. When you reward someone (or a group) for a behavior - you will get more of it. When you punish someone (or a group) for a behavior - you will get less of it. This is really not rocket science.

Yet what do we see?  The promotion of blatant insanity from academia is unending, all of which is a stench in the nostrils of sane people. 

'Woke' Insanity Continues: University Professor Says Traditional Marriage Promotes 'White Supremacy'  - The following story illustrates the reality of the insane world of the woke in today's America and our desensitized reaction to it. Let's be frank: The radical woke are hellbent on destroying every moral tradition in this country, including traditional marriage. Or, as a George Mason University professor chooses to call it, "marriage fundamentalism." "Marriage fundamentalism," argues Professor Bethany Letiecq, is an "ideology and cultural phenomenon in which adherents espouse the superiority of the two-parent married family."  It gets weirder. According to Letiecq, the federal government has coerced:

 Red line, red line, whose got the red line?

   Kamala Harris says there will be consequences!!!! Really?  Okay, it looks like we have a new red line.  Right?  So then, where are those red lines?  Oh yeah, there they are, the ones left over from the Obama administration.  Oh, yeah, that was really great press.  It didn't accomplish much, but hey, this time its different.  Kamala said it, and Kamala has studied the maps!   Ya know, like she studied that maps of the America/Mexico border maps. Well, if that's the case, Israel has nothing to worry about, it's not a real "red line"......it's just another "red herring".   But she did say it with a lot of conviction. 

Everyone is so worried about Israel killing "innocent" Gazans, calling it "genocide".  but no one is interested in the worldwide violence Muslims perpetrate against Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, and even other Muslims.

Hundreds of thousands of Muslims have been murdered by Muslims in Syria, Yemen, and Iraq. In all these countries, the humanitarian situation was orders of magnitude worse than in Gaza, but the worldwide protests against these crimes were orders of magnitude weaker than the powerful anti-Israeli demonstrations and accusations of Israeli genocide of Muslims in Gaza.

These Gazans aren't soldiers. They are terrorists, terrorists, terrorists. Did I say terrorists?  Yep, terrorists, that's called repetition for emphasis,  to remind everyone Hamas was declared a terrorist organization by the United States in 1997. 

All of which Kamala, Hollywood, the media, and the leftists screaming about Israels "murder" of "innocent civilians" seems to ignore.  Not a thing to say about the fact these terrorists are using these "innocent" Gazans, including women and children, as human shields to prevent Israel from attacking them.  

All  outrageous propaganda claiming Israel is putting civilians at risk, with death toll numbers that are highly inflated.  Genocide is what China did to the Chinese, what the Nazis did to the Jews and Eastern Europeans, what Castro did to Cubans, what Turkey did to Armenians, what Pol Pot did to Cambodians, and those numbers were in the millions, and it was deliberately planned and done.  War casualties are accidentals, not genocide. 

It's great propaganda, but the fact is, there are no innocent civilians in Gaza.  They're all Hamas supporters who danced in the streets watching the videos of the atrocities these monsters perpetrated against actual innocent civilians in Israel, especially women and children.  

These terrorists who are so convened about the women and children in their society happily use them as suicide bombers, even as young as seven years old.  Perhaps Kamala and the rest of these Muslim supporting nitwits should read a history book on occasion.  Lot of good it would do though since ideology makes smart people stupid, and leftist ideology makes stupid people like Kamala look even dumber.  

The Republican party is a mess.  

It has no shared vision or goals.  The leadership in every state is filled with RINO's who are lying to their base, just like DeWine in Ohio and their choice for the Senate, Matt Dolan, whose vision is far more in line with Democrat Sherrod Brown than with Donald Trump.  Fortunately Bernie Moreno, an America First conservative won. 

 First off, I have no idea why any Republican willing goes on CNN to be interviewed, but GOP Representative Chip Roy did stating his opinions on how and why the Republicans are a mess, and how they need to get their act together.  

 

Well, while I think that sounds really nice, but, given the reality of the Republican party, it's really stupid.  

 

How does a party get it's act together when one side wants to continue going along to get along, spending and borrowing as if there's no penalty for such insanity, and is willing to scheme to destroy the Republican majority in the House?  Somehow I find that to be a bit....just a bit... insurmountable.

 

How is a party to find common goals when it has members like Alaska Senator Murkowsli who is so outraged that Trump is the Republican nominee and says she won't vote for him, and is telling that to the world.  The difference between Murkowski, Romney, John Kasich, Liz Chaney, and so many of these others in the Republican party and the Democrats is...... wellllllll ...... let me think about this...... hmmmmm ........I guess there is none.   Imagine that.

 

So how exactly does Ole Chip plan to get them together?  Oh, wait, I know, I know, every one of these moderates and lefty Republican traitors will resign, and hope for a massive red surge of actual conservatives in November.  Otherwise, it's all a bunch of clabber.

Your Daily Dose of Leftist Insanity

By Rich Kozlovich

My regular readers know I hold the view America has no skin in the game when it comes to the Russo/Ukrainian War, and it's Europe's problem.  Let them solve it or not.  I'm also stunned at what I consider ridiculous analyses attempting to show the west, especially the United States, pushed Putin into attacking Ukraine because he was afraid of NATO.  How laughable is that?  Without America NATO couldn't fight its way out of a wet paper bag, and in no way did America want to attack Russia.  This "special military operation" was all about Putin's desire to restore Russian imperialism, and now Putin's finally calling it a war, as he's destroying the energy infrastructure of Ukraine. 

On the other hand these same people declare America has little interest in the Israel/Hamas War, and these are smart geopolitical analysts.  That's where we have skin in the game because the real threat to America, and western civilization isn't Russia, it's Islam, and Israel is the canary in the coal mine.  

Before this war started Russia was relatively debt free, but let's face it, Russia isn't a natural capital generating nation for a number of reasons, including it's central planning economic system and the corruption is so massive it's mind boggling.  He had trouble funding the retirement plans for Russia before this war, now, who knows how bad it is, but it's going to get worse. 

Russians are actually very nationalistic, but they're also not really suffering badly as a result of this war because their economy isn't doing badly, on the surface.  But its based on war production, and this war has exposed just how bad that is since now they're buying arms from Iran and of all nations, N. Korea.  How bad is that?

Putin's been careful about forcing all their young men into the army, up until now. So far he's been forcing non-ethnic Russians into the army, and using private armies, which after he murdered the head of the Wagner Group, Prigozhin, placed them all under the control of the Russian military high command.  Now, after murdering Navalny he was "re-elected", and now we're going to see changes in his domestic policies, including an income tax, and that may trigger domestic resistance to Putin, and his schemes. 

He will expand his efforts in Ukraine, and will now force more young Russians into the military, he will have to cut domestic spending as now he's accrued massive debt he can't repay.  His assets are being confiscated around the world, China is careful how much they support him in fear of triggering more economic sanctions from America, which continues to confirm what I've been saying for years.  China's economy is all smoke and mirrors.   

There was an interesting, and thought provoking, 1999 article in Foreign Affairs today entitled, Give War a Chance, saying:

An unpleasant truth often overlooked is that although war is a great evil, it does have a great virtue: it can resolve political conflicts and lead to peace.  If policymakers truly want to bring an end to wars, they need to let the belligerents involved exhaust themselves, such that accommodation proves more attractive than further combat......... Otherwise, no real resolution can be reached intensifying and prolonging a struggle that otherwise would have ended. 

While noting wars bring about massive human misery, cause long term geopolitical problems, he points out it's decisive victories that resolve issues, which "ceasefires and armistices alone will not resolve", because "the underlying resentments that fuel conflict" are not resovled.  The armistice at the end of WWI is example as historians note that was merely a footnote leading to WWII.  

However, even a decisive victory by Israel in this Israel/Hamas War will not resolve the underlying issue: Islam!  We have 1500 years of history to show Islam is a political, criminal movement masquerading as a religion.  Muslims will never cease to be murders, rapists, and marauders, since that's what Arabs were before Islam.  Islam gave them permission to continue to do so, and in point of fact, required them to continue to do so calling it Jihad, a Koranic requirement, and the horrible and vile atrocities by HAMAS against defenseless civilians in Israel is testimony to that fact.   

In this case the best western civilization can hope for is to keep them isolated and disarmed as much as possible, and it's failing....badly!

I've often heard "war's not the answer"!  Well, if that's true, then I think it's well to ask, "what's the question?"   By nature I'm like most Americans, I hate war, but the fact is history has shown over and over again, war really is the answer, and war really does resolve issues, which is why we're speaking English instead of Japanese and German.   

The 2024 election is one of the most interesting elections of my life.  There were two articles in Liberty Nation News I thought were worth discussing, Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr, and Trump – A Show Worth Watching, and this one, which I published today, House GOP Majority Shrinks as More Republicans Call It Quits.  

There's been a lot of clabber about Tulsi Gabbard as a Trump VP.  Not gonna happen, and I explain why in my piece, Tulsi Gabbard as Trump’s running mate?, but as a candidate for VP with Kennedy, I think that's a real possibility and the Liberty Nation article has good arguments for that potential.  

One thing is becoming clear to Americans. The nation is facing an existential crisis.  America Thinker asks, Will our republic live to see her 250th anniversary?, and  Is Article V the Solution to Our FBI Problem?, and We Should Fight First for the Bill of Rights.   In those three articles these statements appear:

1. As the United States inches closer to 2026, marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the gravity of our current predicament cannot be overstated.  This upcoming milestone, meant to celebrate the enduring spirit and foundational values of liberty, democracy, and unity, is now shadowed by the specter of internal decay and external threats, much like the fall of the Roman Empire.
2. The FBI has clearly shifted its mission from law enforcement to political enforcement.  Only the geniuses of The View, the TDS-afflicted “journalists” of CNN, and the beneficiaries of the FBI’s legal exemption policy (the Democrats) would argue otherwise.  Video of armed FBI agents raiding the home of a former president dispelled the myth of “Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity” for the rest of us.
3. Would you be willing to fight and die for multiculturalism?  Would you put your life on the line for “Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity” (DIE); “Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance” (ESG); or other Marxist worldviews?

It's clear those are issues that must be resolved.  Immigration is out of control, and the real issue is the 2030 census.  All people in America will be counted, citizens, migrants, and illegal immigrants, and if that's not resolved, that will probably give Democrats 30 more seats in the House of Representatives.  

By Clarice Feldman published this article today, Domination Through Chaos and Fear, saying:

In the decade I served on a school board, I learned a great deal about group dynamics. The most important lesson, I suppose, is that there are people -- most often highly neurotic people -- who deliberately create chaos. They undermine every effort to rationally deal with issues that require solutions. They violate norms like crediting the work of committees that were designated to analyze what needs to be done and offer solutions for the board to act on, dispiriting those desirous of accomplishing what must be done. They go behind the backs of board members to undercut the systematic workings of the board, and then drag out meetings that should take a few hours into the late night.  

 In consequence, many just cede power to them rather than endure the endless churning of conflicts, bad decision-making and stirred-up animus. Psychologist Wilfred Bion analyzed group dynamics, something I later wished I had studied beforehand. As I recall the experiment he did, it went like this (much simplified): People were divided into two groups only one of which was without a clear mission of what they were to do. The portion of the group that was charged with a particular task was able to accomplish it. The second group with no such mission defined fell prey to the various emotional drives of the participants.

For many years I served in leadership roles in my industry and she's right, they're great at creating chaos, and it takes a Serbian to overcome all that outrageous behavior, or a Trump, who is being targeted by misfits she describes who are destroying America's system of justice.  How in the world is this decision not a violation of the Constitutions Fourth Amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures by the government?  If all these so-called "legal" undertakings can be launched against a former President of the United States, what can they do against the rest of America?  

No matter what flaws Trump may have, one thing is clear, he feels the nation is in jeopardy otherwise why would he put himself through all this misery, not to mention the massive expense involved in fighting all these corrupt judges and prosecutors.  

One final thing, the budget!  Republican have given Biden and the Democrats everything they desire, and the House is filled with RINO traitors, with McCarthy leading this movement even now.  The question as to whether the Republicans can hold the House until the election is now debatable.   

Update 12:27 PM EST

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to expel Rep. Gallagher so he can be replaced immediately. He’s resigning before his term ends and when he can’t be replaced until the election – April 19, leaving the majority in danger. She said every Republican leaving now is putting the majority in danger.  They should expel Gallagher so his constituency can vote for someone to take the seat quickly. She said his departure date is deliberate.

 

House GOP Majority Shrinks as More Republicans Call It Quits

The strife and division seen in the 118th Congress might pale in comparison to the coming chaos. 

By James Fite Mar 24, 2024 @ Liberty Nation News Tags: Articles, Opinion, Politics

 

Yet another House Republican has called it quits. After the divisive funding vote and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) motion to oust Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) on Friday, March 22, Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin announced that he’ll be leaving office on April 19. He had already planned not to run for re-election, but his early withdrawal now guarantees the GOP majority in the House shrinks by yet one more for the remainder of this year.

Another Blow to the GOP Majority

The House expelled New York’s George Santos late last year, and he has since been replaced with a Democrat. Former Speaker Kevin McCarthy of California left shortly after being removed as speaker of the house. While his replacement will be one of two Republicans, the vacancy won’t be filled until after the May runoff. Bill Johnson of Ohio retired in January, Ken Buck of Colorado left office Friday, March 22, and, of course, now Gallagher is headed home on April 19.

Always a tight majority, Republicans’ lead over Democrats sits at just 218 to 213 – which will fall to 217 to 213 once Gallagher leaves. What’s worse, two of those remaining – American Samoa At-Large Delegate Amata Coleman Radewagen and Puerto Rico At-Large Resident Commissioner Jennifer Gonzalez – are non-voting members. Soon, House Republicans will only be able to lose a single vote on anything unless the typically unified Democrats break ranks. Conversely, Democrats won’t have nearly as many Republicans to convince to have their way.

With Greene’s motion to vacate the chair inevitably leading to a vote to oust Mike Johnson from the speakership, such a tight majority could go very poorly for House Republicans. If enough Democrats stand behind Johnson, he’ll retain his position – though likely not much in the way of political capital within his own party or credibility in the eyes of MAGA voters. Should he lose the gavel, however, the GOP stands to lose more than just law-making potential while they bicker over who will be the next speaker. With such a slim majority, it’s possible the next speaker of the House won’t be a Republican at all – assuming Democrats can put forth a moderate enough candidate of their own and convince a frustrated lawmaker or two to cross the aisle.

Those Who Have Gone and Those Who Soon Will

Aside from these five whose seats either remain vacant or have been filled by a Democrat, there are many more who won’t seek re-election – and not having an incumbent in the race often lowers the party’s chance of keeping the seat.

Rep. Jerry Carl (R-AL) was defeated in the Super Tuesday primary by fellow Republican lawmaker Barry Moore after the Supreme Court forced Alabama to redraw congressional districts, combining much of Moore’s Second District into Carl’s First. While this seat is retained by the party, it puts another in play. Furthermore, while both congressmen are Republicans, Moore is a member of the anti-establishment Freedom Caucus, where Carl was more closely aligned with the business wing of the party. Unless the knot of hard-line conservatives can take control of the entire party, a win for the Freedom Caucus here may be a loss for the GOP at large.

Montana Republican Matt Rosendale had planned to run for the Senate, only to cancel his campaign amid death threats and strain on his family life. A week later, he announced he wouldn’t be running for re-election in the House, either. Joining Rosendale in retirement at the end of this term are Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, Jeff Duncan of South Carolina, Indiana’s Greg Pence and Larry Bucshon, Doug Lamborn of Colorado, Missouri’s Blaine Luetkemeyer, Drew Ferguson of Georgia, North Carolina’s Patrick McHenry, Ohio’s Brad Wenstrup, Michael Burgess and Kay Granger of Texas, and Arizona’s Debbie Lesko.

Then there’s Jim Banks (R-IN), Alex Mooney (R-WV), and John Curtis (R-UT) who are giving up the House to run for the Senate. North Dakota’s Kelly Armstrong is running for governor, and North Carolina’s Dan Bishop hopes to be the next attorney general.

Conservative lawmakers are in a pickle this year, to be sure. But if Republicans don’t see the thus-far-elusive red wave they’ve been hoping for in November, 2025 may bring a new Democrat majority for the House.

The World as I See It: March 23, 2024

By Rich Kozlovich

Issue, there are issues, tons and tons of issues, and organizing them into some coherent fashion is an inundating task, and truth be told, for a one man operation, it's impossible.  That's why so many sites have people, aka, analysts, who specialize on one issue, or area of the world, and this is especially true of geopolitical sites. 

However, the patterns of life repeat over and over again, and I see them more often and more clearly than most, which requires a lot of reading, especially history books.  It's my goal to try and help everyone to see those patterns, so, here's my contribution toward everyone finding, and understanding the historical and current patterns unfolding before us.  

 First, let me say I'm a bit stunned at Senator Fetterman, of whom I was very critical, and yet truth be told, he's probably turning out to be a better Senator than Ole Doc. Oz, who I think is weird.  He's taken positions that are in total opposition of the Biden administration and his party, such as saying Biden is dishonest, the mortality figures are a lie, and it's Hamas' responsibility to end the war.  

All the while the Biden administration keeps finding idiotic ways to impose a cease fire saying since it's impossible to move the people Hamas is using as shields, it's wrong for Israel to attack Hamas since those people might be harmed, just another one of the efforts by the administration to save Hamas.  How insane is that?  And guess what, the Russo/Ukraine really is a war now.  Russia Admitted it. I guess launching an attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure made it a war.  Remarkable! 

The system of America justice is in serious trouble.  Do you think Letitia James is a troublesome anomaly to the legal profession in New York?  She's not!  The New York Bar Association invited a Cuban Stalinist to speak to them on,....now get this..... "the newest developments in Cuba’s public health law."  Now how could anyone find fault with a man who has been a true Castroite all these years.  A tyrannous monster who murdered more people per ration than Joe Stalin?  Just a thought.  

I've written about these false vaccinations for covid from very early on, and make no mistake, these shots are causing major health crises, and this is going to continue for decades, and the FDA is making it worse by contaminating America’s blood supply. 

On Friday, Japanese researchers published a pre-print paper that warned about the risks associated with using blood from covid vaccinated people for blood transfusions and are calling on medical professionals to be aware of these risks.......‘The health injuries caused by genetic vaccination are already extremely serious, and it is high time that countries and relevant organisations [sic] take concrete steps together to identify the risks and to control and resolve them.....

So, remember when hospitals refused to treat people who weren't vaccinated, and they died?  Well, what happens when hospitals refuse to operate if you won't accept blood from those who were vaccinated?  Do they just let you die? 

Totalitarianism is coming to America, it' snot an if, it's a now, and what do we see from Republicans in Congress?   Resignations, and done in a troubling way, as if to destroy the Republican's ability to thwart Democrat treason.  You have to wonder what's wrong with their minds.  

Then we have free speech, which the left screams about all the time, but in reality, they're terrified of free speech, and an example of how they twist language to promote that which would be unacceptable if presented honestly.  This article, The Indecency Of The Decency Agenda, by Milt Harris explains how the left offers nothing by lies of commission, lies of omission, projection, and obfuscation.  

For some reason some nitwits decided squatters had rights, and they decided those rights should over ride legitimate owner rights.  Now owners have to play stupid games in order to get control of their own property because the law will not support them. How insane is that?

Russia is in a serious economic situation.  They're running deficits, foreign companies don't want to do business with them for fear of sanction, and even China is careful to not to anything to trigger more sanctions, and now Putin has decided to impose a personal income tax on Russians.  He tried to avoid anything that will impact how Russians live, and even trying to avoid mass conscription into their army, hence their extensive use of private armies and non-ethnic Russians.  But now that he's been reelected that will change, and those changes are going to force Putin to the negotiating table without as many aces to play.

In the 2024 election we're going to see some interesting activity among blacks.  Black men and younger blacks are moving to Trump, but black women are remaining loyal Democrats.  In spite of the clabber this article spouts, I think I know the real reason why.  Everything is about the basics, and illegitimacy is massive in black America, and so is government funding for all those illegitimate babies, which the Democrats will provide as much as is necessary to keep black women on the plantation, and voting for Democrats. 

The budget process is insane, and in spite of a lot of claptrap about concern over the debt, neither party is doing one darn thing about it.  In fact, with every budget they're making it dramatically worse.  And in spite of all the clabberous ideas that are presented, it's still all about the basics.  Cut the size of government dramatically, cut spending dramatically, and stop borrowing.  It really is that simple

Mike Pence destroys his remaining goodwill among MAGA Republican

March 15, 2023 By Rajan Laad

As Vice President, Mike Pence was reviled by the D.C. Democrat establishment and their P.R. wing that masquerades as the news media. Pence is religious, conservative, and pro-life.  He also believes in marital fidelity and traditions.  He seems to stand for everything that liberals abhor. They disparaged Pence as anachronistic and misogynistic because he revealed that he never dines alone with a woman other than his wife, nor does he attend any event where alcohol is served unless his wife is present.........

It must be remembered that as vice president, Pence wasn't actually averse to the swamp.

It was Mike Pence as vice president who complained about Trump's first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, lying to him about his contacts with the Russians, which led to Flynn's firing.  Flynn was among those who had pledged to drain the swamp, so with Flynn gone weeks after Trump was inaugurated, the possibility of reforming national security agencies was dropped.

Pence was in charge of the COVID-19 response that allowed Fauci and others to hijack the proceedings.  Even after leaving office, Pence's conduct was suspicious..........Pence had expressed similar sentiments about Trump in his book, claiming that Trump's "reckless words had endangered my family and all those serving at the Capitol."............Perhaps Pence and his advisers are delusional. Perhaps Pence is delusional, and his advisers are merely looking to make some easy money before Pence disappears into the night.........For issues that really mattered, there was not much difference among the Bushes, Clinton, and Obama.  It's hard to say if Pence is a useful idiot for the Democrats or if he was an establishment Republican pretending to be a MAGA Republican.....To Read More...

Big-Spending Republicans Are Big-Taxing Republicans

March 4, 2023 by Dan Mitchell

My Fifteenth Theorem of Government points out there is an “unavoidable choice” between entitlement reform and tax policy.

Fifteenth Theorem of Government:  Anybody who opposed entitlement reform is unavoidably in favor of big tax increases on lower-income and middle-class Americans.

Simply stated, the folks who oppose fixing entitlements – including so-called national conservatives and politicians such as Donald Trump – are in favor of giant tax increases on lower-income and middle-class Americans. They don’t admit their support for huge tax hikes on regular people, of course, but that’s the inevitable outcome if fiscal policy is left on autopilot. Even Paul Krugman admits that’s what will happen.

This process already is underway in the United Kingdom. The Conservative Party became recklessly profligate under Boris Johnson, causing a big bump in the country’s (already excessive) spending trajectory. And bad spending policy is now leading to bad tax policy (the British pound no longer is the world’s reserve currency, so there’s not as much ability to finance ever-expanding spending by endlessly issuing new debt).........But today’s column is a warning sign about what will happen in the United States if Republicans surrender on spending and entitlement programs are left on autopilot.

I won’t pretend that genuine entitlement reform will be politically easy. But my message to my Republicans friends is that a tax-increase agenda is not just economically destructive, but also politically suicidal.........To Read More....

10 Republican State Senators Helped Quash Georgia’s Buckhead Bill

Ten Republican Georgia senators joined all Democrats this past week in dealing a legislative blow to the Buckhead City Committee, which has long been pushing for the wealthy Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta to deannex from the city.  The state Senate on Thursday voted 33–23 against SB 114, a critical bill for the Buckhead City Committee, whose aim is to see a ballot referendum for neighborhood residents to vote on the creation of Buckhead City.............“There is no leadership here in Atlanta,” White told Breitbart News in 2021. “No one is taking any corrective kind of actions on resources for police, allowing them to do their job,” he added, explaining how Buckhead City would have its own police department. ..........To Read More..... 

More Anti-Police Riots Hit Atlanta Over Weekend, By Eric Lendrum - On Sunday, additional violent riots struck the city of Atlanta over the city’s proposal to build a new police training facility, which its attackers have nicknamed “cop city.” According to the New York Post, the site of the future Atlanta Public Safety Training Center, which is worth an estimated $90 million, came under what the Atlanta Police Department (APD) called “a coordinated attack” by far-left domestic terrorists. Attackers threw bricks and Molotov cocktails at police officers, and set several police vehicles on fire.  “They changed into black clothing and entered the construction area and began to throw large rocks, bricks, Molotov cocktails and fireworks at police officers,” the department said in a statement after the attack...............

A Subtle Way for Establishment Republicans to Sabotage Trump

March 2, 202 By Brian Parsons - The 1978 comedy Animal Housedepicts the charades of the rag-tag Delta Tau Chi fraternity of Faber College, clashing with Dean Wormer to maintain their university charter. Opposing Delta Tau Chi is the neighboring prestigious Omega Theta Pi fraternity. In one notable scene, frat pledge Chip Diller, portrayed by Actor Kevin Bacon, is hazed in ritual embarrassment by his senior Omega brothers. As he kneels on his hands and knees, his cloaked initiators paddle his bottom, at which time he winces and pleads politely, "Thank you, sir. May I have another?"This scene embodies conservatives' repeated abuses for a perceived seat at the table of national politics.  Will conservatives bend the knee to their initiators once again, or will conservatives drive policy from the bottom up?..................To Read More....

How to Lose in 2024, By Jay Valentine  March 2, 2023 - Industrial-scale fraud, committed by organized actors, accelerates over time like a drug-resistant bacterium.  If you want to know how America is going to get screwed in 2024, follow the dough.  That is the Zuckerberg dough. Zuck and pals are spending tens of millions of dollars, not padding voter rolls, not fighting lawsuits, not getting voters out early… they are spending the dough infiltrating and controlling election commissions. For those who think cleaning the voter rolls and voting early are enough protect 2024, our data proves you are delusional. The Left is all in controlling election commissions. Expect Kari Lake’s outcome to move from an outlier to a standard outcome in 2024. Election commission fraud, which we coined as sovereign fraud two years ago, has attractive characteristics for the Left.  It always works -- because it is invisible. 

Election fraud tools are stuck in the 1970s -- useless “phantom” and “dead people databases” are out of date a month after being published. Lawsuits make great headlines but achieve little because nobody is going to change an election outcome, no matter how egregious the conduct and powerful the evidence.  A slate of Arizona candidates is the most recent victim. The Zuckerberg boys will march into leftist-dominated cities - again, writing checks and controlling election machinery.  They know who voted, who did not vote, who never votes (and vote them), how many votes are needed. Each of these actions has a common characteristic -- it happens within 2-3 weeks during early voting!........To Read More....

CNN and Election Disinformation, By Joe Fried March 2, 2023 - My friend and I sometimes argue about media outlets like CNN and MSNBC. Why do they spread misinformation? Are they grossly uninformed?  Do they know the truth but tell falsehoods anyway?  Do they think we are stupid or naïve? My buddy feels that the media outlets know the truth but lie about it.  To me, it is more complicated. The nice-looking journalists who read the teleprompters are genuinely ignorant. On the other hand, the news producers probably know the truth but spread misinformation anyway. Producers are the ones who select the topics, construct the programs, and hire the special analysts. Let’s consider this recent example..........T

 Is Resistance Futile? By Jack Gleason  March 2, 2023 -Every sci-fi fan knows about the Borg, Star Trek's archenemy collective of cybernetic beings that ruthlessly assimilates other species and their technologies.  Their favorite phrase when overtaking a new life form is "resistance is futile." Indeed, the Borg are formidable.  After thousands of years, their stolen technologies surpass anything the Federation has developed.  But oddly, while gaining significant advantage at the beginning of each encounter, they are always stymied by Federation officers and crew.  How is this possible?  With all their technology, and an endless supply of interchangeable soldiers and a collective "hive mind," they always lose at the end of the episode.........They know that if they surrender, they will become another part of the collective and their society, and all freedom, will cease to exist. What can we learn in our current struggles to oppose the multiple threats to freedom and democracy facing the United States and the remnants of the free world?.........To Read More... 

 

Georgia Republicans Squeeze Migration-Friendly Bill Through Committee Vote

Neil Munro 1 Mar 2023 

Establishment-backed Republican legislators in Georgia are trying to pass a bill that could allow illegal migrants to jump ahead of Americans for school-choice funding. On Thursday, the state Senate Education and Youth committee held a surprise hearing and vote for the bill after silencing opposition from D.A.

David Limbaugh Notices Something in Common With All the “Conservative” Never-Trumpers

By J.D. Rucker Oct. 28, 2022

Up and down the line of current and former RINOs who continue to be Never-Trumpers, there is a trend. The very people who claim Republicans abandoned “true conservatism” by supporting Donald Trump are not out there fighting for limited government or attacking woke culture. Instead, they’re invariably letting their true colors shine by endorsing Democrats, embracing wokeness, and defending the Biden-Harris regime’s disastrous policies.  From Liz Cheney to the Lincoln Project, Never-Trumpers are going full-blown leftist in their efforts to stop Donald Trump. This is confusing, of course, because by their reckoning Trump lost “fair and square” in the 2020 election. Why are they STILL supporting Neo-Marxism?...........To Read More....

Mansour: Liar Dick Cheney Who Destroyed Millions of Lives Declares Donald Trump the Greatest Threat in U.S. History

Rebecca Mansour 4 Aug 2022

“In our nation’s 246-year history, there has never been an individual who is a greater threat to our republic than Donald Trump,” so says former Vice President Dick Cheney in a campaign ad released Thursday for his daughter’s floundering re-election campaign.  Cheney bases this assessment on his claim that Trump is a liar. According to Cheney, Trump is “a coward” and not a “real man” because “a real man wouldn’t lie to his supporters.”

Would a “real man” lie to the world? That’s what Dick Cheney did.

As Donald Trump famously stated in 2016 during the Republican debate right before the South Carolina primary (which Trump won): “Obviously, the war in Iraq was a big, fat mistake.  weapons of mass destruction. There were none, and they knew there were none.” (emphasis added)  Cheney—widely regarded as the brains behind President George W. Bush’s disastrous administration—was one of the architects of the Iraq War.........To Read More.....

• Liz, Daddy Can't Save You - The Republican base changed; Cheney opted not to, so August is where she’ll end her career, but not before former Vice President Dick Cheney hurls some mud in a nauseating ad that comes too little, too late to save the already dead career of his daughter (via NBC News):.........Liz’s days are numbered and this cringe-worthy ad from Dick Cheney might have cost her votes. ....
  

My Take - There's been a lot of talk about what Liz Chaney's doing and what her father thinks.  Well, now we know....he's like his daughter.  He doesn't think.

New York Republicans Crumple on Abortion

July 10, 2022 By Sean Ross Callaghan

To model “principled loserdom” while indulging in a “kink for losing”: this is the establishment Republican’s beating heart. And on July 1, Republicans in the New York Senate wore their hearts on their sleeves.   The week before, the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health that states are free to regulate abortion. The Constitution is once again considered to be “scrupulously neutral” on abortion, as Justice Brett Kavanaugh put it. And so, after fifty years, the legal funhouse of mirrors that began with Roe v. Wade came to an end. 

Allowing abortion is the worst thing America ever has done. It has been far worse than slavery. There were four million slaves in 1860 out of 31 million people living in America. That’s one in eight. Today, when the American economy struggles with an aging population that for fifty years has failed to replenish itself with a minimum of new births, one in five of the few pregnancies that still occur here end in abortion. Since Roe was decided in 1973, more than 63 million American children -- that’s a fifth of America’s present-day population -- have died in abortions. The slaves we freed. The slaughtered babies we discarded in blue plastic bags and then burned. ...........To Read More....

Here it is! 'Widespread election fraud' revealed in report

Wisconsin investigation charges multiple problems with 2020 presidential election

By Bob Unruh March 3, 2022 

 

President Donald Trump has said that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.  In fact, Joe Biden won by narrowly capturing victory in a list of swing states, and dozens of subsequent court cases were dismissed by judges over issues like standing, which mostly didn't address the actual claims involved.  But the establishment's defense to arguments over the legitimacy of the vote count always has been that there's been no "widespread election fraud" found. Now there has.........To Read More....

McConnell joins Cheney and Kinzinger in giving aid and comfort to the swamp's denizens

February 10, 2022 By David Zukerman

Mitch McConnell obviously has never met a conservative populist (a/k/a Trump supporter) he ever liked.  That clearly is indicated by his gratuitous defense of GOP turncoats Cheney and Kinzinger.  Republican National Committee chair Ronna McDaniel, in what was an effective statement on McConnell's  harsh words for the GOP base,  indicated by her closing paragraphs, how egregious were McConnell's harsh words for the MAGA patriots.

'No one would disagree with that,' McCarthy told reporters on Capitol Hill on Wednesday.His clarification comes after McCarthy was mocked by Democrats for walking away from an ABC News reporter who was asking him about the Republican National Committee censure of Adam Kinzinger and Liz Cheney for serving on the committee investigating the insurrection....

My Take - Ole Mitch says he's not worried about being Senate leader if the Republicans retake the Senate.  Really?  What can we glean from that?  He's delusional.  As for Kevin McCarthy, he's always been...at best....a leaky vessel.  And when the Republicans take over the House they need to find someone else to be Speaker.  My pick?  Jim Jordan of Ohio. 

Always someone left to lie to

January 24, 2022 By Thomas Buckley

The late lamented Christopher Hitchens wrote a book about Bill (and to a lesser extent Hillary) Clinton entitled No One Left to Lie To.  While Hitchens was a brilliant polemicist whose notorious wit could turn instantaneously from sledgehammer to scalpel and back again, he was not, it appears, a terribly good prognosticator.  There are still people left to lie to, and, sadly, there always will be.

Imagine, if you will, the parable of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" updated for today.  Instead of the boy's lie being confined to one small village, it would — through social media, etc. — be out there for the whole world to hear and not necessarily at the same time.  Like a good marketing campaign, the boy could make sure to target certain audiences at certain times, thereby potentially perpetuating the lie for eons.  "It takes two to lie -- one to lie and one to listen."

Republican Betrayal on Fake Infrastructure Bill

Establishment Democrats and Republicans and their corporate media mouthpieces view the American taxpayer as an ATM to fund their priorities.

By Ned Ryun August 11, 2021

The so-called infrastructure bill that 19 miserable, loathsome Republican senators just helped to pass shows the utter worthlessness of a corporatist Republican Party out of touch with its constituents. Most of these senators are from red states, and many of them are people Trump bailed out in 2016 and 2020 (including McTurtle) and helped to get reelected. They just gave their voters, and the American people, the middle finger. One can’t help but think they’re either incredibly stupid or incredibly corrupt; probably both if we’re being honest. 

Not only does this bill add anywhere from $256 to $400 billion to our roughly $30 trillion national debt, it has very little to do with anything accurately labeled “infrastructure.” Only $110 billion of the $1.2 trillion is for highways, roads, bridges and major projects. If you throw in the monies for airports, ports, and assorted other items, you might get to 23 percent of this monstrosity designated for actual infrastructure. 

The other 77 percent of the bill’s funding reads like a far left wish list that paves the way for the Green New Deal. That’s why this bill should be dubbed the Gateway to the Green New Deal Bill and not infrastructure. Take for example that nearly 20 percent of the entire bill, $213 billion, is allocated for retrofitting two million homes and buildings to make them more sustainable, whatever that means. Or the $20 billion for racial equity and environmental justice. Or the mileage tax, as in yes, they want to explore taxing you for every mile you drive in your car.........To Read More....

 

 

Why Did George W. Betray Team GOP?

June 12, 2021 By Jack Cashill

"In 2020 I boldly declared that Trump was the only thing standing between our country, the American people, and socialism.  I turned out to be correct," said George P. Bush in announcing his candidacy for Texas attorney general.

Nearly 75 million Americans agreed, but his uncle, George W. Bush, was not among them.  It is likely that if George W. had said what George P. did, the Democrats could not have "harvested" enough votes to put their man over the top.  But he didn't.  The result, as George P. pointed out, "was over 30 trillion dollars in total spending and 6 trillion in next year's annual budget."  And that is just the fiscal damage.

In the year 2000, some 50 million people elected George W. Bush president.  Despite his failings, almost all hung with him and re-elected him in 2004.  They understood that politics is a team sport.  They may not have loved their captain, but they understood he was better for the country than the other guy.   The sports enthusiast Bush is, one would think he'd get the concept of teamwork.

He did not.  At least, he did not seem to.  In his bestselling campaign book, Battle for the Soul, Edward-Isaac Dovere gives us a glimpse into what Bush was doing and saying to sabotage Trump and betray the millions of Americans who had backed both men during their presidencies.

"The two presidents hadn't talked much in the months since Obama left office," writes Dovere of Bush and Barack Obama, "though their staffs, along with Clinton's and George H.W. Bush's, were on email chains that featured rapid-fire Trump mocking and consoling one another over the state of the republic."  As someone who voted for both Bushes, reading this made me cringe..................To Read More....

Lindsey Graham Throws President Trump Under The Bus, Fox News ROASTS HIM!

Cooter June 12, 2021

John Roberts asked about South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham's thoughts on a potential upcoming meeting between Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin. Graham responded that Putin's "bad behavior" should be called out.

He went on to accuse President Trump of having not "prosecuted the case against Russia forcefully enough" during his meeting with Putin in Norway.

Roberts, the host of Fox News' "America Reports," responded, “Alright, that summit, by the way, was in Finland, Helsinki, because I was there.” He went on to rebuke Graham further, saying, "And you're a senator and I'll write it 100 times on the whiteboard." Graham chuckled nervously and muttered a sheepish apology before the segment ended.

This isn't the first time Graham has publicly criticized or even trashed President Trump. The senator was once confronted by Trump supporters about agreeing to certify the electoral college results that fraudulently put Obiden in the White House..............The two-faced senator can also be seen in a video shot before the 2016 election calling President Trump a "kook" not fit for office. Later, he gushed about Donald Trump; the two clips were used in an attack ad by the Democrat-backed LindseyMustGo super PAC.........To Read More....

Paul Ryan’s Impotent Appeal

The Democrats, no less than the media, slobbered all over the former House speaker for his recent anti-Trump speech. But their love is strictly conditioned on Ryan remaining a pajama-boy conservative.

By Roger Kimball May 29, 2021

Of all the reactions to Paul Ryan’s speech Thursday at the Reagan Library in California, I thought the funniest was the one titled “Paul Ryan Begins to Re-emerge.” I found that idea funny because the speech I heard signaled the opposite: not burgeoning “re-emergence” on to the political stage but, on the contrary, an almost comical confirmation of obscurity. 

Ryan is a careful man, well-pressed, armed with all the best clichés, and utterly feckless. He salted his talk with plenty of gems calculated to appeal to conservatives. He appealed early and often to the ghost of Ronald Reagan—understandable given the auspices of his talk. And his speechwriters dropped all the right phrases about keeping government off the people’s backs, the evils of identity politics and political correctness, the desirability of low taxes, and economic prosperity. 

He was also careful to rehearse some of the achievements of the last four years, the years when his nemesis Donald Trump ran the roost. He was happy to associate himself with those triumphs......... Paul Ryan, I note, is hosting a fundraising event for—drum roll!—Liz Cheney.................  [who] actually represents Peggy Noonan and the republic of Georgetown. Spiritually, it’s the same constituency represented by Mitt Romney and his understudy, Paul Ryan. ...........To Read More....

And, still, Ryan had the chutzpah to call Biden "a nice guy."  There is Paul Ryan in a nutshell, excoriating a fellow Republican and complimenting Biden.

 

Trump Rips Paul Ryan, Fox News

By Eric Mack Newsmax May 28, 2021 

It did not take long for former President Donald Trump to get wind and respond to anti-Trump comments Thursday night by former House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., at the Ronald Reagan Library.

Trump scoffed at Ryan's arrogance to suggest the failed "RINO" (Republican in Name Only) knows enough that he can tell Republicans "how to win elections," lumping the never Trumper in with Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, the failed presidential candidate he served as running mate for in 2012.

Trump wrote in a statement of rebuke on his Save America Desk website:

"RINO Paul Ryan, who became a lame duck Speaker of the House, lost all vote-getting capability with the people he represented in Wisconsin, and was the single biggest factor, other than Romney himself, for the monumental Romney/Ryan loss in the presidential race of 2012 (I got more votes by far, 75M, than any sitting president in history!), and he is now speaking to other Republicans telling them how to win elections. Interestingly, I was in the Great State of Wisconsin when they booed him off the podium — I literally had to come to his rescue.

"Ryan should instead be telling them how to stop the cheating of elections and that we would have won if Republican leadership fought the way the Democrats did.

"It was the day that Ryan went on the board of Fox (Fox will never be the same!) that Fox totally lost its way and became a much different place, with millions of its greatest supporters fleeing for good. Paul Ryan has been a curse to the Republican Party. He has no clue as to what needs to be done for our Country, was a weak and ineffective leader, and spends all of his time fighting Republicans as opposed to Democrats who are destroying our Country.

"As a Republican, having Paul Ryan on your side almost guarantees a loss, for both you, the Party, and America itself!"

Ryan's remarks denounced Republicans for following the Trump doctrine, according to reports.
