How Trump Became the Only One

Normally, when leftists want you to avoid something they don't like, they simply ignore it.  They make sure the press doesn't mention it, and they all yell as loudly as possible about anything else they can think of.  Not so with Donald Trump.

Leftists think the hatred they have stoked against Donald Trump is the best idea they ever came up with.  They can make a lot of people angry about anything, but anger is hard to sustain — it's tiring.  Hatred, however...now there's a keeper.  It lives a life of its own; it can't be killed.  The left jumped on that horse and now it has to ride it to the end — and the horse isn't paying attention to the rider.

The left can't stop the sequence of events it has begun.  This is partly because it really wasn't the idea of the useful idiots carrying this plan out; it was all part of the Great Reset, and leftists didn't get that.  Lefties look at goals within arm's reach, such as getting friends to like them, injecting meaning into a life without religion or belief of any kind, or getting re-elected.

So how did all this hate business start?

This hatred push was really only part of a plan.  When you look at this from 20,000 feet, the global plan included the removal of strong leaders.  It is much more difficult to lead while being positive than to simply lash out against "the other."  Skilled and principled leaders who have a positive goal are dangerous to the Soros-Schwab-Davos-Bilderberg crowd because they can't be controlled.  This is especially true if a leader's positive goal is based on nationalism.  Nationaliis kryptonite to the Great Reset's Superman.....

Trump can do this, and if we can get him in office, he will.  The first two on this list can be done on day one, which will stop the bleeding.  The others will take a little preparation but are doable.  Trump knows the ropes, will have competent help, and has nothing to lose....

Russia's Escalating Influence in Africa

When the United Nations General Assembly voted on March 2, 2022 on a resolution to condemn Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, 17 African countries abstained, eight countries did not vote at all and one country (Eritrea) voted against the resolution. When Russia was suspended from the UN Human Rights Council on April 7, African countries were even less willing to counter Russia: Nine African countries voted against suspending Russia, while 24 countries abstained.

African voting patterns in the UN are just one indication of Russia's growing influence in Africa. While Russia's engagement on the continent is not nearly comparable in volume to that of China, Russia has nevertheless been significantly deepening its influence on the African continent in recent years, especially when it comes to arms sales -- between 2015 and 2017 Russia entered into 19 cooperation agreements with African countries, largely about Russian weapons sales -- and providing mercenaries.

According to Joseph Siegle, Director of Research at the Brookings Institution's Africa Center for Strategic Studies:....

Fed chair Jerome Powell floats idea of centrally controlled digital currency

The US authorities are trying to shore up the global power of their fiat currency, with central bank digital currency (CBDC) now under consideration as one of the tools.

The role of the US dollar in the world economy as a reserve currency is now weaker than ever, for a variety of reasons converging together; so much so that the situation inspired the Federal Reserve Board to organize a first-ever conference on the international roles of the dollar.

One possible under-miner of the dollar’s status in economies around the globe are supposed to be decentralized cryptocurrencies that do not have a central issuing authority.

Meanwhile, many governments’ “antidote” to that has been to focus on promoting centralized digital money, whose value is still based on their fiat currency. The goal of this is to continue to keep central banks and governments at the heart of financial structures and power.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell was one of the speakers at the inaugural conference on June 17, and his welcoming remarks revealed that the US is considering introducing a central bank digital currency.

In Case You Had Any Doubt About Biden Being A Complete Puppet

Here’s a lovely clip to solidify the fact that Joe is not, in fact, guiding the ship. There’s someone else – or a group of commie wackjobs – who’re apparently at the helm making decisions for him:

Not sure if this was before or after he told a reporter that he didn’t want to answer questions, because he was on (yet another vacation). Or before or after he faceplanted on that bike. You know, in toe straps.

What Jesus Says About War

As a history buff, I have studied various wars and hate them all — a sentiment also voiced by World War II General and later President Dwight D. Eisenhower: 

"I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity." 

And from Machiavelli's 1513 classic book "The Prince”:

“There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.”

The sad reality that war is part of the human condition is found throughout the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible:

“To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven… A time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). (See Vol. 102 about this passage and the famous song it inspired.)

Old Testament critics often point to the excessive amount of war and bloodshed therein. Yes, God allowed the battles and savagery to occur and determined the outcome — both victory and defeat of His people, the Israelites.

Texas GOP Openly Declares Biden an Illegitimate President, Rejects Certified 2020 Results

Texas Republicans on Saturday approved a resolution stating that President Joe Biden was “not legitimately elected” in the 2020 presidential election.

The resolution was approved at the state Republican Party convention, according to The Hill.

Former President Donald Trump has long contested the results of the election. Indisputable proof of widespread, systematic fraud has yet to emerge, although results in several states have shown inaccuracies and irregularities, and conservative filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza’s “2000 Mules” raises serious questions about the potential abuse of absentee votes in swing states.

“We believe that the 2020 election violated Article 1 and 2 of the US Constitution, that various secretaries of state illegally circumvented their state legislatures in conducting their elections in multiple ways, including by allowing ballots to be received after November 3, 2020,” the Texas GOP’s resolution declared.

A Permanent Shortage of Everything

Globalists were wrong. The world isn't flat.

First it was baby formula, now there's a tampon shortage. Tampon prices are up 10% due to the rising price of oil affecting the cost of plastic and higher cotton prices due to mask manufacturing and the war in Ukraine. A whole lot of fertilizer comes out of Ukraine and Russia. So does neon, which is used to make semiconductor chips. The chip shortage is shutting down car plants.

This is the thoroughly interconnected world celebrated in prose by journalists like Thomas Friedman, who marveled at how Big Data and globalization brought everything together.

"No two countries that both have a McDonald's have ever fought a war against each other," Friedman once claimed. In his greatest paean to globalization, The World Is Flat, he argued that, "No two countries that are both part of a major global supply chain, like Dell's, will ever fight a war against each other as long as they are both part of the same global supply chain."

McDonald's in Russia has closed and the ones in Ukraine might be blown up any time. Russia restricted its neon exports while Ukraine's neon exports have falle

n sharply. Dell's CEO Michael Dell has warned that the global chip shortage could last for years.So much for the Golden Arches and Dell theory of globalist conflict prevention.....

The controlled DEMOLITION of FOOD and ENERGY infrastructure is now under way

The global destruction of food and energy infrastructure is accelerating by the day. The goal is rather obvious at this point: To destroy human civilization and starve as many people to death as possible by any means necessary.

Those who don’t yet realize this is happening will be destroyed by it.

Some of the astonishing highlights of this deliberate depopulation scheme are covered in today’s podcast:

• Western Europe’s largest fertilizer manufacturer, CF Industries, has announced it is closing down its UK manufacturing plant (in Chester) and moving administrative operations to the USA, following Western Europe’s “green” war against natural gas (which is necessary to manufacture nitrogen-based fertilizers). (CFindustries.com)
• After ordering airlines to mass murder their own pilots through forced mRNA vaccines, the federal government is now threatening to “take action” against airlines for not having enough pilots. (The Epoch Times)

“Juneteenth” Was Not the End of Slavery

As President Joe Biden was only able to sign into law the observation of “Juneteenth” (June 19) as an official holiday of the United States two days before the date last year, this year was the first year that the holiday was fully observed across the country. While Juneteenth is often celebrated as the end of slavery, slavery did not actually end in the United States until the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution several months later.

Like other federal holidays that fall on Sunday, this holiday is observed today, the following Monday.

In addition to this historical inaccuracy, the new holiday has several other problems, perhaps chief of which is its official name of Juneteenth National Independence Day. Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky was one of only 14 members of the House of Representatives to vote against the new holiday, and he explained his principal objection: “(N)aming this day ‘national independence day’ will create confusion and push Americans to pick one of those two days as their .....

The Cul-de-Sac of Feminist Stupidity

What is a feminist? A woman who can’t get along with men. Feminism is an anti-male ideology, a political expression of the collective resentment of such women, none of whom has ever stopped to think that perhaps men are not the problem. This thought never occurs to a feminist for the same reason that a Nazi would never doubt that Jews are the problem.

"Some of my friends date men, and I always tell them to ask new dates how they feel about Taylor Lorenz as a good screening question for vile misogyny. It’s the new g’mergate.— flora + fauna ???? (@Stanford_lands) June 20, 2022

This person sets up a Kafka trap, where a particularly obnoxious woman is made a barometer of “vile misogyny,” which is sort of like asserting that you’re a racist if you dislike, say, Louis Farrakhan.

To suggest that women use Taylor Lorenz as a “screening question” for potential is not helpful because (a) most men will likely react “Taylor who?” but (b) there is no such thing as a heterosexual man who knows who Taylor Lorenz is and doesn’t despise her.

There are also plenty of women who hate Taylor Lorenz, I’m sure, but the idea of maklng her an idol deserving reverence, and excommunicating all men who don’t genuflect before her — well, it’s not helpful, as I say.

And that’s just it — feminists, who can’t get along with men, don’t want to help other women get along with them either. Because feminism is an anti-male movement, it is also an anti-heterosexual movement.

The Unsustainable Costs of President Biden’s Climate Agenda

 ummary:

One of President Biden’s first actions in office was to recommit the United States to the Paris Agreement on global warming. This Backgrounder details the harmful economic implications of doing so by modeling a theoretically efficient carbon tax designed to achieve the Administration’s emissions reduction targets. While the Paris Agreement’s climate impact will be minimal at best, it will impose significant costs on American families and businesses. Instead of implementing an agenda that will decrease Americans’ access to energy and cost trillions, President Biden and Congress should pursue a policy agenda that advances economic freedom, rejects symbolic but ineffective climate policies, and reduces barriers to innovation and economic opportunity.   

Even with theoretical efficiency, we find the costs of the policy to be staggering. The economy would, in aggregate, lose $7.7 trillion of gross domestic product (GDP) through 2040, which is $87,000 per family of four. The climate impact of these policies pale in comparison to the costs. Even if the U.S. and other Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries reduced their emissions to zero today, the averted warming would be a meager 0.5 degrees Celsius by the year 2100 according to Heritage Foundation modeling.

The Case for Donald Trump 2024 

Time for some real talk. There are a lot of Republicans with doubts about President Trump running again in 2024, and you hear it often when conservatives gather together. They worry that him going Grover Cleveland could spoil a sure thing, but that’s not necessarily so. Whether you love Donald Trump, or whether you doubt him – if you hate him, shut up and go back to the Bulwark offices with the other losers – you need to look hard at the facts. We’re not progressives who let our feelz control us, and we must ruthlessly assess our own potential courses of action when it comes to replacing that desiccated old pervert masquerading as our president. We must look at his downside, but also his upside – and he has one. The fact is that Donald Trump 2024 has a reasonable chance to beat anyone the Democrats launch at him – hell, in ’16 he defied the conventional wisdom to crush Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit, the Smartest Woman Ever Was, and there are a lot of reasons why he might well pummel whatever pea-brained nimrod the Dems deploy against him in 2024.

Let’s look where all smart tacticians will look first – at logistics. Trump has money, oodles of it, and his supporters now have two campaigns worth of experience instead of the none they had in 2016. He also has his own social media outlet, as well as friendly conservative media, and Twitter may even be under free speech advocate Elon Musk by then. They can’t shut him up again. 

Then there is the opposition. He faces a clown for an opponent – Grandpa Badfinger is the only guy dumb enough to forget how to ride a bike – and some polls already show Trump beating Biden in a head-to-(empty)-head race two-plus years out. .....

Shocking Video: Preschool Teacher Talks About Coming out as Trans to Her 4-Year-Old Students

“Today on the last day, I finally decided to come out to my kids. And my kids are older. They’re four and five. And the way I did it, I just read them a book about this teddy bear that kind of comes out as a trans girl. And it’s really nice and it’s very simple. They understood it right away.

I think what made me cry the most was that afterwards like, I kind of looked at them and there was just a silence in the room and I just thought like,

‘Oh my god, now they see me as a totally different person.’ And before this, they loved me. I was such, you know — one of their favorite teachers, and it felt so good to have that, and I think that’s one of the biggest fears I had is that as soon as they found out about me they would lose all love for me.

Encouraging Report Finds Most Of Planet Will Still Be Habitable In 2023

Reversing long-held theories about the potentially devastating effects of climate change, scientists published an encouraging report Monday that found most of the planet would still be habitable in 2023. “While many are understandably nervous about the future of our rapidly changing world, our data optimistically suggests that Earth will largely be able to continue to sustain human life through much of next year,” said lead researcher Dr. Jessie Lansing, adding that promising models showed that rising sea levels, destructive weather events, and increased temperatures would largely not cause widespread extinction among Earth’s population within the next 365 days. “The findings are still preliminary, but we are confident in saying that by 2023, at least 50% of Earth will not yet be destroyed by mass extinctions, famine, fires, diseases, or floods. Contrary to many doomsday scenarios, humanity will continue to exist on Earth until at least 2024—and maybe even longer, if we’re lucky.” At press time, Lansing added that the encouraging findings also indicated that human life could continue on as normal for as long as the next 24 to 48 hours.

Recent grads unsure how to pay off student debt but certain about how to run the US economy

Millions of recent college and grad-school graduates with upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt are not sure how to pay off their debt, especially with their choice of degree, which many times have left them completely useless in the marketplace.

Despite this, most of this demographic—self-professed democratic socialists—know exactly how the US economy should be run. The US economy is the largest in the world and has a gross domestic product of nearly $20 trillion.

“I can’t pay my monthly phone bill,” Vivien Walker, recent graduate of Loyola Chicago said, “but I know exactly how to run the federal budget. The government needs to first address the needs of its constituents and make all phone services free.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez could be seen as the posterchild of this movement. After being elected to Congress, she was unsure how she was going to pay the rent in Washington DC. Yet she is absolutely certain that socialist policies would keep the economy afloat.

“It’s pretty simple,” Ocasio-Cortez said, “we young people won’t have to worry about finances if all the rich old white men pay for us. There should be a 70% tax on rich people so we don’t have to learn economics.”.....

Government Advise Wearing Face Masks Over Eyes When Purchasing Goods

IN A BID to curb the effects of spiralling inflation on the struggling nation, the government has advised consumers to wear a face mask over their eyes when purchasing goods to avoid being shocked by prices, WWN reports.

“We’ve listened to your repeated calls to do something about the cost of living and we believe this short term solution will get people through the next few years while prices continue to rise,” Taoiseach Micheál Martin explained at a press hearing today, “shopping, filling your car up with petrol, eating out, opening a utility bill; these should all be done while wearing a face mask over your eyes and will also come in handy for the next covid wave that we’re not preparing for in a few weeks – it’s genius really”.

Martin’s eye mask suggestion comes after large protests took place in six towns and cities across Ireland yesterday over the cost of living, protests the Taoiseach didn’t see as he was trying out the mask solution at the time.

“I didn’t get to witness these protests as I was wearing a face mask over my eyes at the time, but this goes to show that stress can be avoided with this solution and that it does indeed work,” Martin added, before donning a mask over his eyes as reporters began asking him questions.

Come-on man, Jan 6th was almost King of the Hill. Fact!

A lot of people out there aren't getting it about January 6th. People aren't even watching the show we're putting on. Apparently you people just don't get how our system works. This is real simple. The January 6th Committee isn't a joke.

Let me explain what they're saying to you in real simple words so you understand how Donald Trump almost took over and destroyed our democracy and became dictator. I'll say this real slow.

If. You. Occupy. The. Capitol. Building. You. Win. King. Of. The. Hill.

Did I say that slowly enough for you, America?

Do you get it now?

The January 6th Committee has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the insurrectionists almost won King of the Hill.

That's how our system works. It's right there in the Constitution thing. Anyone that occupies the Capitol building with the most people wins and everybody's got to do what they say. Just forget all that nonsense about a coup needing institutional support. That's ridiculous. No one believes that.

If you win King of the Hill you win. All you've got to do is have the building.

And you know what they would have done if they won King of the Hill? They would have ordered the military to surround the place and kill everybody that said they weren't King of the Hill, that's what. That's how it works. And the military would have had to take orders from them because they were King of the Hill of the Capitol building.

And Mike Pence was there and they almost got within forty-feet of him. They would have captured Mike Pence and tied him up and made him tell everyone they were King of the Hill now. Can you imagine? That's a fact. And then everyone in the country would do what they said because they had Mike Pence tied up to a chair and they were King of the Hill!

And then they would have said Mike Pence says Donald Trump is still president and everyone has to do what he says and everybody has to obey because we're King of the Hill now and nobody can do anything about it because we’re here in the Capitol building and you're not so ha, ha, ha!

That was the plan. That's all the January 6th Committee is saying.

You can see now how close we came on January 6th. No lie. It really happened that way and we came this close to Donald Trump almost winning King of the Hill. Fortunately we beat him to it.

Employee Always Complaining About No Time Off Suddenly Upset About Getting Fired

Noting the abrupt and dramatic shift in the man’s attitude toward work,

Lindwasser Insurance Group president Brad Lindwasser told reporters Monday that one of his employees who regularly complained about not having enough days off was suddenly upset about getting fired. “He was always saying he needed more time away from work, and he has it now, so I really don’t understand what the problem is,” said Lindwasser, explaining that he had hoped the outgoing employee, Ed Pinzetti, would be excited about getting let go from the company after 10 years of tireless service and finally being able to take the trip to Shenandoah National Park he often talked about. “Last year Ed told me he was overworked and needed to see his family more, and now that he has the opportunity to stay home with his newborn son, he just seems angry. The guy wants more free time, I lay him off, I even make his termination effective immediately—which I didn’t have to do—and this is the thanks I get. Look, if he really wanted to work in this office, why was he always asking for a vacation from it? It makes no sense.” Lindwasser added that Pinzetti should also appreciate no longer having to pay the health insurance premiums he always thought were too expensive.
