Between now and November 5, expect much more lying and deception and gaslighting by the Democratic Party.

Also expect most of the media to trumpet those lies.

They will be going pedal to the metal to win at any cost. Including ruining all laws and constitutional provisions.

Fasten your seatbelts, we are in for a very bumpy ride.

Not at all true: the "mainstream" Republicans are just as happy as a pig in his own mess to the Forever Minority Party. Think about it: if you're in the minority, none of this insanity that we're experiencing is their fault and they still get all the perks and wonderful bribes - I mean election contribution money -from rich sponsors. Hog heaven!

No wonder almost none of them have come to Trump's aid in this disgusting display of corrupt Democrat lawfare.

Libertarian, if you have time head over to The Free Press and check out Bari Weiss’ interview w/ Argentina President, Javier Milei. Just posted today and it’s a good one, and shows just how awful a bloated State can harm citizens.

Great recommendation. Thanks, Matt. Bari does a wonderful job of bringing out real insight. This note from Milei is something that worries me could happen here; “In the last ten years, Argentina’s per capita GDP fell by approximately 15 percent.”

The other post of note today on TFP is Ben Kawaller’s speech to the Los Angeles Log Cabin Republicans that occurred last week. He’s a Democrat, gay, and now ‘more awake’. He does some hilarious videos you can find where he interviews the kind of people Sasha encounters in her travels across our country. Ben had 2 hours to prepare his remarks (he was called to be a late minute stand in) and delivered some brilliant words:

https://www.thefp.com/p/ive-woken-up-the-people-who-own-the

The part that jumped off page were these remarks, which crystallize the DEI agenda that’s washed over so many:

“A big part of wokeness is the belief that a person’s immutable characteristics, like race or gender, always and inherently either limit them or grant them advantage. And that because of that, it is okay to treat people differently, on an institutional and an interpersonal level, based on their race and gender. Another part of wokeness, or what it means to be woke, is fear. Terror at being seen as insufficiently supportive of efforts to help make the world a better place. It’s a terror so powerful it can lead people to betray everything they think they believe about fairness, equality, compassion, and grace."

Georgia Kemp did the exact same thing as what happened to Trump launching a partisan investigation just before an election worse part he headed that and couldnt care less. Ohio, Wisconsin GOP openly defy court orders many times to keep their power. Like I said before when people become part of an echo chamber its very hard to be unbiased and see your party anything but a victim but Democrats and GOP are no slouches to slanting elections to their ends.

Pacificus's avatar

You are claiming that Kemp is a Trump Republican? Gotta be kidding, he's as RINO as they get. He and Raffensperger enabled the steal of GA in 2020. So, fail on that point.

As to the other court cases the GOP has supposedly "defied": whatever they are, they don't equal the theft of a presidential election, as occurred in 2020. So, fail again.

As for the "echo chamber" charge: you have no idea as to the breadth of my information base, so stop acting as if you do.

More like "what they will do to stay at the trough". Getting reelected is the Golden Ticket to riches and being treated like they actually mean something. Power? to do what? Quietly gripe about the mean old Democrats in their rooms so nobody hears them?

Yes, "The Hunter Biden laptop story was a clear-cut example of election interference. And all involved should be prosecuted should Trump take power. He doesn’t have to say it. I’ll say it."

Let the prosecutions begin, let Karma flow as it should ...

If Trump is a "felon" for 34 transactions, let there be 51 felons who thought they were so smart to pull the wool over the eyes of Americans with their Russian disinformation fraud, with Blinken as the 52nd ...

If Trump is a "felon" let all those involved in the Russiagate Hoax also be prosecuted, not just Hillary Rodham Clinton but all who sought to promote this fraud, many, many, many multiples of 51 over ...

We know from testimony of Micheal Morell (former Deputy Director of CIA) that it was now Secretary of State Anthony Blinken (at time Senior advisor to Joe Biden) who organized the Oct 2020 letter of 51 former Intel officials calling Hunter laptop story false and ‘Russian misinformation’. As of May 2023, Blinken was still claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was not real. Today, Biden’s DOJ entered Hunter’s laptop as evidence in his trial.

I guess we can only counter with yeah, but with all those upcoming trials, Trump may not last either, so who is HIS VP? If he truly had courage, he'd pick Tulsi. She would carve up Kamala in a VP debate, and pull in some indies too. so, of course, Kamala is a disaster who keeps getting worse.

What a shame that it has to be Joe Biden representing us in France today on the 80th anniversary. Nothing he could say, even if he was able to say it, could come close to the Reagan speech, (penned by Peggy Noonan) at the 40th anniversary ('These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc') I was a kid at the time, so I was pretty oblivious, but I've read it off and on over the years and I never fail to tear up.

One political party in particular is using the "subversion" of America to avoid wasting the crisis it has created. One of my personal heroes Ayaan Hirsi Ali recently wrote about subversion (https://www.thefp.com/p/ayaan-hirsi-ali-we-have-been-subverted). The politicians can't help themselves but to exploit it.

Ayaan is brilliant. She’s everything that the left supposedly stands for, and they loved her until she had the audacity to speak truth about Islam, from personal experience; she was cancelled and started receiving death threats. A black atheist women, who had undergone FGM, left Islam, etc.

Now that she’s embraced Christianity, I can only imagine what her former admirers think.

Ayaan Ali Hirsi’s essay was one of the best I’ve read all year. Clearly identified the who and the why, and her Somali background under yoke of USSR Marxism, keenly qualified to drop her wisdom. What she was short on (as are most of us) is what exactly to do about it, outside of voting and volunteering.

Voting, and making sure that NOBODY YOU KNOW OF is available to be harvested by Democrats. IT is time for the 40% who typically sleep through elections to wake up.

Add to that, apathy.

Sasha said in her drive cross-country, there was no talk of politics. People were busy going about their lives. I took from her tone that she found that comforting and while I understand that to a degree, I also find it extremely disconcerting. We can't let the state of the country paralyze us, but neither can we ignore it. If it is not faced, head-on, by a super majority of the population, the power elite will continue their intentional destruction of the country and us. As it is, the country is on the verge of collapse that we will not be able to come back from.

The Authoritarianism of the Far Left is very useful to the Elitism of the Far Up. But independents are for the most part oblivious to these dangerous currents. Too many see Trump as simply Mr. Mean Tweets. But in these sad times, Trump is really all that is standing (somewhat precariously) in the way of the Fars.

That's what people thought then.

Today we know that 2 months after Germany surrendered, the first atom bomb was detonated at Alamogordo, NM and there were more than six bombs at Tinian base in the Pacific after Nagasaki.

With or without the Soviets, Germany had no chance to survive past the summer of 1945.

Expand full comment
Richard's avatar

I have seen different numbers on the number of bombs available but it is true that the priority use of the A-bomb was supposed to be Germany and they probably couldn't have continued after the two that we actually used on Japan. Coup time assuming that the Nazi hierarchy actually survived the bombs. However, we are talking about summer of 44 not 45.

"they probably couldn't have continued after the two that we actually used on Japan"

Where did you get that from? There were 6 atom bombs at the Tinian base when the Nagasaki bomb dropped.

Germany surrendered in 1945, 11 months after D-Day and would have been about the same without Soviet but with A-bombs

You just had to get me started, didn’t use Sasha.

Clinton, was the first ever felon. He lied under oath, admitted ultimately that he did, and his own Supreme Court appointments said he was guilty and suspended his law license for five years slap on the wrist.

Obama admitted to being a cocaine user, which is a felony. The Democrats didn’t give a rats rear end that he was a felon they elected him for two terms. We are still dealing with the consequences of that!

As far as Trump goes, elevating, a misdemeanor to felonies is in itself a crime. That was the only way that they could bring him down, but they have yet to do so. His donations went through the roof when they announced the verdict, and they will go through the roof again when he is sentenced.

The one thing that Kamala may have correct, is the fact that Trump will certainly bring those scoundrels to justice. For myself, if they are found guilty of treason (I think likely, in certain circumstances), we need to bring back public hangings to send a strong message to anyone that might care to repeat what has gone down in the last 3 1/2 years.

For myself, I want to spit on the floor as Bannon, says. I have had enough. I will most certainly write Trump in, if he is not listed as a candidate — and if there is no line to write in a candidate, I will write him in, anyway. I will not be silenced!!!!
