Same old playbook. Stall, delay, and drag things through the courts until the election is come and gone. This one may blow up in their faces - most citizens won't stand for using a catastrophe to win an election.

People like my family members are scared to death to listen to and read news or social media by anyone other than the lying media. They are willingly ignorant, but they want to yell at you and tell you how wrong you are. They listen to idiots all day long. I'm talking about intelligent and accomplished family members, not just the oh so dumb ones. Lenard of the Breakfast Club had a so-called hip hop artist (hip hop is supposed to be independent, nonconformist to mainstream) on who insisted that he was the first to accuse PDT of being a fascist (that's a unique perspective), declared kamala is not a communist or socialist, and insisted that she's a capitalist. Of all things, a capitalist. They had the nerve to tell me the race is close, and they can't understand why. Of course, they were repeating stupid michael obama. It was mild compared to past times, but I had a long weekend, Lucianne fam.

9,12 & 13, there's nothing like serving four years in the military before college to prepare a student to see through the propaganda dished out by the man-bun sissies and feminist professors. When you see what the rest of the world is like and then come home to America, you are a strong conservative like a sword fashioned from good steel in a hot fire. I had one professor who stated that if all guns were taken away from the people, crime would vanish from the country in a generation. I could not help but laugh at his silly logic. The colleges turn out thousands of dumb little democrats because they get the kids too young and naive to know any better.

I feel for all the posters with dems in their families, I have mainly in-laws who will not listen to reason, i.e.,...they're dems. The reason it is this way, aside from the constant bombardment of lies from the Enemedia, is what poster #18 mentioned, indoctrination. Or you can call it brainwashing, and IMO it starts much earlier than college. It's just students get a mega dose of propaganda when they hit the college level. Also, being in the military in decades past was likely a good deterrent for believing propagandizing BS, whether it was college or the Enemedia in your ear. I'd say at a guess being in the military now isn't quite as effective since the leftist swine have sabotaged much of the branches of service.

ncredible as it seems, at least to me, it is the four-year anniversary of this outline [GO DEEP].During the rushed debate over the Patriot Act, was when I first heard political officials talking about the importance of “continuity of government.” I immediately recognized what all these DC voices were describing was a construct of a post-911 government that would exist and maintain itself without the elected representatives of WeThe People. The intelligence gathering and homeland security system put into place after the Patriot Act was passed, is a bureaucratic administrative state without the presence of elected officials controlling the apparatus. That leads to the following question:

Israel says that air strikes on military targets in Iran on Saturday morning have concluded its retaliation for Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on April 13 and Oct. 1. Iran’s military said early Saturday that Israeli strikes on the country targeted military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan, and Tehran provinces, causing “limited damage,” and that two soldiers were killed. After announcing the strikes were underway, the Israel Defense Forces later released a statement saying they had concluded their mission and warned Iran not to escalate.

Former President Donald Trump sat down with podcast host Joe Rogan on Friday for a nearly three-hour interview. Trump candidly spoke on a wide array of topics. ,(snip) In the freewheeling conversation, Trump began by reflecting on his years as a businessman and reality TV host on “The Apprentice” before entering politics in 2015. Until then, his engagement with politics, during a time when he was a Democrat, had been as a donor, he said.

I’m going to skip most of the nonsense about the “Raskin Letter” [SEE HERE] to focus on the part that few will notice or report.

This was the reinforcement cement in the “fundamental change” pillar.(snip)President Trump’s planned 2025 transition team are simply refusing to repeat the mistakes of the 2017 transition process that ended up with the GSA willfully impeding the peaceful transition of power, by targeting the incoming administration.

This is an inside baseball story that will be overlooked by most, but it carries profound implications. The winner of the presidential election usually merges the president-elect’s transition team with the federal transition system. Current government bureaucrats then begin a process of briefings, agency/institutional transfer coordination and funding to assist the incoming president’s team. However, as we saw in the aftermath of the 2016 election, the government side of the transition worked behind the scenes to impede Trump’s ascendency into office, and factually supported the corrupt government IC officials who were targeting Trump. For election 2024, President Trump’s transition team is now saying they are likely to go it alone

Americans should prepare for “unrest’ if former President Donald Trump completes the greatest political comeback in modern American politics, Democrats told the Wall Street Journal on Monday. The potential for Democrats to perpetrate political violence undermines their narrative that Republicans, and especially the America First movement, are a threat to democracy. “I think there’ll be some violence. I think there’ll be workplace fights. There’ll be fights at kids’ birthday parties. I think they’ll be protests and will turn violent,” Mark Halperin recently told Tucker Carlson. Resistance groups, according to the Journal’s Joshua Chaffin and Valerie Bauerlein, believe citizens should be “bracing for unrest” if Trump wins:

The popular YouTuber tragically passed away on October 28, 2024, following a month-long battle in hospital.

Nothing says joy like an abortion, am I right? If you cringed reading that, take it up with Vice President Kamala Harris. On Friday, just 11 days from the election, the Democratic presidential nominee campaigned in Houston in part to boost the Democrat running for the Senate. But she wasn't here only for a Senate race.By talking about abortion and basking in the fame of a celebrity or two, Harris tried to make an example of Texas while peddling a false narrative about joy and freedom to women. I hope women see through this charade.
