Opinion: I’m not a Republican and President Trump is a populist. He stepped into a hornet’s nest and the swamp is still trying to sting him to death.
The 2024 match-up looks as if it will be corrupt, demented old Pedo Joe Biden and the DC Swamp against a wiser and far more circumspect and scarred President Trump.
More Opinion: We live in an age of jibberish that somehow equates to erudite discourse in the woke mind. I read this drivel today, “Homonormativity, toxic masculinity, and toxic feminity within the queer community are deeply interconnected with eurocentricity, imperialism, colonialism, militarism, assimilation, and capitalism.” Parents pay institutions of higher education $30K per year for their gender-confused adolescent children to learn to speak like that.
Also, what is a “trans-lesbian woman”? A chick with a stick who likes chicks?
Karma: A man who arrived and jammed into the parking spot that I was waiting for and told me to fuck off – arrived for a job interview with me.
Post-it-Notes
On Thursday, the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government held a hearing for testimony related to Missouri v. Biden. In that case, Missouri, Louisiana, and others sued the Biden administration and numerous individual defendants for violating the First Amendment through what the plaintiffs called a “vast censorship enterprise.”
At last week’s hearing, Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry, and Louisiana Special Assistant Attorney General D. John Sauer testified in detail about that “censorship enterprise,” providing highlights of evidence uncovered so far in the lawsuit. While the “Twitter Files,” earlier testimony of Matt Taibbi and Michael Shellenberger, and previous filings in Missouri v. Biden revealed extensive information about the public-private Censorship Complex, this testimony provided the House committee with even more troubling information.

A leaked Customs and Border Protection document reveals the Biden regime anticipates further increases in Chinese nationals illegally crossing into the United States from Mexico. As The Daily Caller reported, “Between October 2022 and February 2023, Border Patrol agents encountered more than 4,200 illegal migrants from China, compared to roughly 1,900 in all of fiscal year 2022, according to CBP data.”

The OPEC+ Saudi-led oil cartel’s decision on Sunday to cut oil production quickly bumped oil prices up about $5 per barrel. With inflation already high, the increase in energy prices is yet another blow to America’s beleaguered middle class. But the story should reverberate all the way to the Oval Office, given that President Biden’s anti-oil policies and foreign policy missteps gave OPEC+ power to push the price of oil higher.

The India Ministry of External Affairs announced on Saturday a move away from the U.S. dollar, with the country agreeing with Malaysia to create a “Special Rupee Vostro Account” to allow the settlement of international trade in Indian rupees. The move away from the U.S. dollar reportedly came to “safeguard Indian trade from the impact of [the] Ukraine crisis.”
Last week Wednesday also saw China and Brazil finalize an agreement to ditch the U.S. dollar to instead deal directly with their own currencies, “exchanging yuan for reais — or vice versa — rather than first converting their currencies to the U.S. dollar,” as Fox Business reported. Dumping the dollar will have a major impact on the US economy long term.

The Brandon regime v the light bulb – Under the Trump administration, Americans were free to choose whatever light bulbs they desired. The Hill reported that the Trump administration was also of the mind that such phase-outs constituted an unnecessary burden on businesses.

So… did he get the job?
That story and my wife and I in stitches!
Mark Wahlberg as Ali isn’t bad, but I prefer Gilbert Gottfried as Malcom X.
-Kle.
No.
Gilbert Gottfried would make a magnificent Malcolm X. Russell Crowe as Martin Luther King, etc.
Shaun King missed his true calling.
Of course, Gilbert is dead also.
So is Malcom X !
See, he’d be perfect.

Trump being a :populist” implies that he has no principles, but only appeals to popularity.
I’m glad he is is a Republican in Name Only. but he is a member of the party, and you can make a case that he is a conservative, if not a constitutionalist.
Everybody else makes him look good in comparison.
As Levin said last night, “He’s the only one able to stand up to these Democrat Marxists and they know it…which is why they will not stop until they make him a martyr for Liberty.”
Trump is the ONLY Republican candidate able to effect change to the good, the rest may be fine, but they ain’t him. His speech last night was a hit-back on all fronts. And on this chilly snowy morning – in more ways than just being cold outside – I have asked for God’s protection of this man and for Him to raise up those who can support the cause to defeat the forces of Evil tearing apart our country.
Gird your loins, it’s going to get more insane as the spiritual battle moves to the next level.
Oh, it’s coming.
I think our Civil War II “Doomsday Clock” is getting close to midnight.
I afraid for several things they cannot stop Trump via the Law so they will do it either by 1) cheating in the election or 2) they will try killing him. Either way this will lead to CW2 and it will not be like the first where the states broke into separate countries, but more like IRAQ with IEDs and problems with major areas. The country will crumble.
Agreed, Bragg-adocio can now demand Trump be at ‘X’ places at ‘X’ times. Regardless security measures by Trumps SS detail any lunatic the Marxists engage could take a pot shot at him.
The next court date is set for December 4, on the eve of the Republican Primary. The DA and the court could potentially order Pres. Trump back before then on some pretext but if that happened, his attorneys would appear in his stead. They can’t order beyond that.
Thinking by then PDJT’s attorney’s will get this fiasco tossed out.
Maybe. NY appellate courts are packed with democrats who owe patronage. There is not much to appeal at this point. The indictment is stupid, but it’s not appealable. They set the date deliberately. That can’t be appealed. They’ll hope for a riot.
Setting that date allows FED Epps’ handlers to plan something and recruit new and better “confidential human sources”
Yes, it gives them a very long runway to plan for contingencies.
Will the Whore be on the D ticket next time?
Trump didn’t need to go yesterday, but did so he could glare at Bragg and stare down evil. The man is made of iron, like he thrives on this stuff.
It is past time to leave the rat infested cities to their own devices, they have already started eating each other, and letting them be will hasten their demise. These is no sense in re-entering the NYC Hellhole, because like J6, just being there opens one up for more lies and persecution. Trump has done his part, came out better than fine by exposing the rats for what they are…now he should tell them go screw themselves.
Don’t underestimate the Swamp. President Trump (45) did. I don’t think that 47 Trump will make the same mistake. The problem is that the Swamp is almost infinitely deep. I deal with it regularly because it’s impossible to avoid completely once you’re at a certain place even outside of the US.
Living in the hovel at the White Wolf mine, no, you can pretend that it doesn’t exist and for all appearances, it doesn’t. In business, it’s there.
I’m half expecting him to sell Trump Tower and other NYC holdings.
We passed the point long ago where it could end any other way.
The GOP doesn’t want to win. Then they can be held responsible. There is more money and comfort in being the loyal opposition.
When Trump became President, the RINOs controlled both the House and Senate and did f**kall.
President Trump’s greatest legacy, IMO, is the number of judges he got appointed and keeping that piece of shit Garland off the Supreme Court.
The popular attitude seems to be, the more disruptive the liberal policies the stronger and more dominant they are, but I think that’s backwards. War can’t be waged by a group that can’t produce practical industrial results, so the more dysfunctional the liberal policies, the less chance for a civil war.
You appear to be defining “war” in an extremely narrow sense. A sense that is useless for practical discussion of the current situation.
Suppose for example the powers that be halve the purchasing power of the dollar inside six months by currency inflation. Gas goes to $10/gallon. The lower-middle class has no remaining buffer to evade this like they did covid jabs. Suppose the lower-middle class chooses to refuse to die of the beginnings of starvation and diseases of poverty, and they want those policies ended which caused these problems. Suppose they emotionally need “their” government so badly to raise them in the pecking order they would prefer to risk death in an armed fight than to vote for Ron Paul. Then they’re going to start half-heartedly fighting back, which will escalate on both sides. Is that practical?
I think nearly all the historical civil war examples which get extrapolated from are against already-disarmed populations, that’s where the ‘you can’t fight jets and tanks’ belief comes from. Except Lexington and Concord.
When they inevitably lose this one (because it’s a BS case), they will step up to ??? I’m afraid nothing will be off the table at that time. And concur, no security can ever be ‘perfect’…
Drivel-Speak Gibberish Gobblygook: What a PhD in woman’s studies sounds like after too many years of college, believing that effusing patrician sophistication over the great unwashed patriarchy affords them superiority.
The news is all about Stormy Daniels’ tail. But other things are going on….
Yes there is, and thank you 1) reminding us, and 2) providing us with info that’s otherwise hard to obtain.
Like the Memorandum from the Pedo. Geez….only 500 million. Are you sure that’s enough? Do you need more?
And I’ll bet that movie poster would make liberal heads vaporize……
Karma is ..
You all be safe and God bless.
The special council thug Jack Smith is leaking bits and pieces almost daily about his investigation of DJT’s document scandal. It looks like he’s going for obstruction, which is a low bar and can be easily proven, even if not technically true. Obstruction is a big felony and would get DJT a prison sentence if the trial was in DC. I suspect he’ll go for the indictment close to Nov. 2024. They will never let Trump to run again. Meanwhile, the US dollar is almost toast, BRICS is expanding and China is knocking on Taiwan’s door. Sigh.
