Gretchen Whitmer’s video really encapsulates the difference between old-school liberalism and today’s progressivism:

Whitmer, 2024: “There is nothing more American than living your life the way YOU want to live it.”

JFK, 1961: “Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.”

It’s not a mystery why we are in such a mess.

If Whitmer really believed what she said she would oppose all the freedom crushing big government initiatives. But she supports them. There is no introspection on the left.

"And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.

For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. And strong is the Lord God who judges her." [Revelation 18-]

That boiled my blood when I saw that. There's no way to read that but as a deliberate provocation, a giant middle finger. The radical left is in control of the Democratic Party. When will America wake up to the threat they pose and not just automatically pull the blue lever no matter what?

I suppose the devils advocate might say that most normies won't be shown something like this and will be kept unaware.

Regarding that list of special days, weeks, and months recognizing LBGTQ-etc. people... they have got to be the most needy, self-centered people in our society. It's too much. I don't care if as adults, they make the adult decision to change their gender. I really don't care. But for gosh sakes, leave the children alone! My understanding that most kids who suffer sexual dysphoria and commit suicide, do so after they've transitioned and realize what a horrible mistake they've made and that it didn't bring happiness. This is 100% the fault of adults who enabled them.

But they will never leave the kids alone because they need to indoctrinate them into their army and political base. They want them to be activists on the street when needed, ready to hound/pester any enemy of the regime they choose. Look at what has been happening to John Eastman. It's all about power, and the hysteria they display is potentially their most potent weapon.

TQ+ has absolutely NOTHING to do with LGB. I know it is difficult, and good people are being pushed to their limits, but don't stereotype all LGB as supportive of this psychotic bs when many do not support any of it. This antediluvian mind virus targets them in the same way that it targets the rest of us. It erases them, the same way it erases the rest of us. It invalidates them, just like it invalidates the rest of us.

Transgenderism is the far Left's gay conversion therapy, if they actually respected and had basic empathy for the LGB population, they wouldn't be trying to employ Dr. Frankenstein to miraculously make them artificial constructions of the opposite sex.?! These Marxist are trying to destroy Civilization in order to control it, dominate it, and transform it into whatever the latest mind f^ck of the day is, they are targeting everyone. The more you allow them to make you hate, and divide according to race, gender and orientation, the more they will win.

We should care about the adults transitioning as well, especially when they insist we use their special pronouns, force their way into the wrong bathrooms and changing rooms, expect us to change language to erase women (e.g., the "birthing persons" and "people who bleed" nonsense), etc. Normalizing and, especially, centering the abnormal or "queer," as they put it, is what started all this. Well, that and shoving God aside. An eccentric here or there or doing whatever in a zoned area is one thing; the eccentric made to be role model for all while the average and normal are pathologized is just sick.

A stripped lower receiver is just the frame, but it does have the serial number, so technically according to ‘F troop’ it’s a ‘gun’.

Building one from the receiver on up is a great way to become familiar with the tool and how it works.

It’s almost as if they know they are going to win the election so they have no problem continuing to do things that most of the country doesn’t agree with (going from acceptance/live and let live to anything less than celebration is an act of “violence”)

That’s my theory. He has made no effort to be everyone’s president. We will head into election with Trump 5 or more points ahead in the polls, even in states like New Jersey. Everyone assumes Trump will will. It feels like a landslide. GOP takes the House and Senate. Then the surplus ballots show up over the following weeks. It’ll be like 2020, only much more obvious, sinister, and obnoxious. Biden will make it clear the fix was in, and if we don’t like it, would we care to engage his FBI and military?

“They’ve pushed all of us too far. And now, they’ll have to suffer the consequences.”

More like we’ll all have to suffer the consequences of their fanaticism. They are totally obsessed with destroying Trump/MAGA internally, Putin/Russia externally. They are fanatics and incapable of self-reflection and change. They cannot win but they can destroy which is what they’re doing and they will blame us for their failures. Even the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, blames “right-wing Trump supporters” for sabotaging his policies. How? By not supporting them. He actually says this. And this is how all these Woke fanatics reason. An impossible situation.

I agree, of course, and got to push back a little on Facebook yesterday. It's always a wonderful Easter Sunday, isn't it? because of the reason we celebrate, but yesterday afforded me the privilege of declaring Biden an intellectual and moral idiot in response to the posts of a couple of Facebook friends.

I don't have TV, so I don't know if the 60 Minutes videos which were offered to me on YouTube last evening were from last evening's show, but they were about Havana Syndrome. I have never for a moment believed that the government employees who have claimed their lives have been ruined by whatever Havana Syndrome is were psychosomatic cases. That is what the federal government slimed chronic fatigue syndrome sufferers with being for twenty years despite MRI and neuropsychological evidence from the first couple of years of the CFS epidemic in the 1980s that CFS patients had an unusual pattern of brain dysfunction which could be correlated with neuropsychological test results.

Whatever Havana Syndrome is, it's real, and its most likely source is some kind of Russian weapon. I'm all for our avoiding the Russia/Ukraine horror, but whatever the Russians are doing, it's not to benefit us. It would be to Trump's great advantage if he were to make as formal a speech about this as he's ever capable of making. The matter is only going to worsen. Trump and the Republican party need to speak up about this for obvious reasons.

It's completely Orwellian. A person rejects his/her entire bodily identity for the purpose of living out an authentic self. "Supporting" children equates to mutilation of their bodies, sterilization and permanent dependence on medical care for a non-existent condition.

Casey is my senator. He has to be voted out of office, but I don’t even know if anyone is running against him. I write to him regularly on a number of topics; he always answers but he’s on the wrong side of every issue, from war to vaccines and now this.

I recently saw video of Glenn Greenwald talking about the disappearance of butch lesbians. Kim Iversen also interviewed a lesbian about this. Such a mess these people have made of all areas of our society.

And whatever happened to tomboys, girls who like doing boy things but grew up to be lesbians or straight women who still like doing male things which isn’t at all unusual? Our schools and culture have convinced them at an early age that they’re actually boys/males in a female body so they just need to transition so their body is correctly aligned with their brain. But isn’t this like Iran where homosexuality is totally unacceptable but trans people are okay and left alone?

I don’t believe they are. They don’t need to since we have plenty of our own home grown fanatics doing it. A few years ago Putin gave a talk about this insanity in America and the West and basically said “Been there. Done that. No thanks.” Both Putin and Xi understand quite well that our society has become insane since both men saw the same thing happen to their country’s in the not so distant past.
