Voting by mail has always been the most fraud to manipulation and ultimate fraud. In-person voting is easier to reconcile, which makes total sense since there isn't the extra steps and opportunities to mess with the vote that a vote-by-mail system affords. When safeguards such as proper signature verification (essentially the only proof that an absentee ballot was cast legitimately) and chain of custody are essentially thrown to the wind, then it becomes next to impossible to reconcile the vote and to know if the results as told are indeed legitimate.
I urge people to watch this excellent documentary regarding the recent 2022 midterm election in Arizona. It's truly horrifying what took place. What's most horrifying is that the Arizona judiciary offered no recourse despite it being shown that signature verification had not been conducted according to law, and despite broken chains of custody and irreconcilable vote totals.
The sensible strategic play would have been to have good relations with Russia as a bulwark against a rising China. But as Lukeon rightly points out, there are interests in the U.S. (commonly referred to as the Military Industrial Complex) that cares nothing for good relations or even just common sense. This M.I.C. has held sway over U.S. foreign policy for decades - Trump was the exception and just look how they've gone after him. Their main motive is to profit off of war and maintain hegemony via control over natural resources and use of military force and financial sanctions as the threat. A peaceful, prosperous and independent Europe is seen as a threat by them. Hence the years-long demonization effort of Russia (the elaborate Russiagate hoax did enormous damage to diplomatic relations and the prospects for peace).
There are many older types within this M.I.C. that never let go of the Cold War mentality. War was almost certain IMO after Biden was installed as president. The Biden admin started increasing arms and funding to Ukraine and Ukraine was essentially preparing for a military offensive to take Crimea. Promises were being made to Ukraine of NATO membership too. Russia was aware of this and took counter measures. This was completely to be expected. Still, the war could have been averted. But the Biden admin refused to take part in talks. Regardless, a tentative agreement was made for a peace deal not long after hostilities started, only for Zelenskyy to drop out of negotiations after a visit from Boris Johnson. Hundreds of thousands of lives lost later, and where are we?
The M.I.C. I think arrogantly assumed that the sweeping sanctions on Russia (which were long-planned I think) would bring Russia to heel and achieve the goals of the M.I.C. Instead, it just brought Russia and other countries closer together - the BRICS alliance has never been closer or wielded more influence. It turns out most countries don't like being held blackmail by the threat of these kind of sanctions, so instead they're working with one another on their own deals and systems of trade and cooperation.
Europe is a major loser in all this. The destruction of Nordstream 2 - the biggest act of ecological terrorism in modern history - has seriously hurt European economies, Germany in particular. Large increases in energy costs, as well as the cost of having to accommodate war refugees, is taking its toll.
Not that the U.S. is immune in all of this. The U.S. is barreling towards default with out-of-control spending and a spiraling national debt, not to mention a border crisis with an estimated 10 million illegals allowed entry in just 3 years. Add to this the Democrats' weaponization of government and the legal system against Trump and their opponents at large - and it's a very fragile situation overall. One has to wonder what the bigger play is by these people who still clearly maintain a lot of power but who are very afraid of losing it
The funny thing is, remember when crazy woman E Jean Carroll was brought up to try and put blame on Trump? Well... it turns out that a Democrat billionaire funded Ms Carroll's case. Who was that Democrat billionaire, you ask? His name is REID HOFFMAN. And if that name rings a bell, well it's because Mr Hoffman is one of the people named who visited Epstein Island.......
Not a lot of people know it, but Trump's presidential administration put a big focus on combatting human trafficking, and a lot of people despise him for it. Of course human trafficking has reached an all time high under the Biden administration, in large part because of the wide open border and estimated TEN MILLION people who have entered the nation illegally in the last 3 years. Victims of séx trafficking are CERTAINLY among them. As well a huge number being exploited as cheap general labor.
Who knows what will happen. What's clear already is that they'll go to EXTREME lengths to try and prevent Trump being president again. Would they attempt assassination if their lawfare efforts prove fruitless? Or stage some kind of attack - cyber or even kinetic - in order to stop the election altogether?
I really don't understand how people can think like this. It's like a complete detachment from reality. The Trump years were the most peaceful globally in any of our lifetimes. No new wars. And indeed the prospect of peace in the Middle East was accelerating at pace with the Abraham Accords. Relations between Kosovo and Serbia were even on a good path with an assist from the Trump administration (before Jack Smith sabotaged it - but that's a story for another day).
The Obama/Biden administration dropped even more bombs than the George W Bush administration did! ISIS was rampant, a violent overthrow of government in Ukraine was carried out with aid from the U.S. State Department and CIA (this was the real beginning point of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine). And yet despite inheriting all this, Trump managed to keep a lid on things and was even helping facilitate peace deals.
Then a short few years under Biden and we have a full-scale war between Russia and Ukraine, and a situation between Israel and Palestine that threatens to spread throughout the region. China and Taiwan seems to be a situation that could kick off any time too. European economies are in turmoil (Germany in particular). We're at a very precarious point.
People love to focus on Trump's personality rather than focus on his policy and overall effectiveness as a leader. The truth is his policies were really good and his leadership effective, despite the non-stop attempts of his adversaries to undermine and frame him throughout his presidency. The man has extraordinary resilience. Can his personality be disagreeable? Yes, but so what? How he makes YOU feel personally is not the most important thing. Not even close. Many of the most consequential leaders throughout history have been disagreeable in nature (Winston Churchill is one who immediately comes to mind). Results are what matters.
The world needs Trump back. Everything is falling apart since the stolen 2020 election. America is now laughed at abroad and no longer taken seriously, while at home the Biden Administration and Democrats at large are doing everything to convince people that they are authoritarians who won't hesitate to use whatever power they have to crush their political opposition. It's depraved and dangerous how they're acting. The world needs a Great Reversal, before it's too late.
There's zero proof whatsoever that Trump ever raped or s*xually assaulted E Jean Carroll. Pointing to a crooked court of 'proof' of anything makes you an utter fraud. It's just more evidence of the weaponization of the justice system and the legal system by Democrats to attack Trump by any and all means possible. The Democrat-controlled New York State Legislature in fact CHANGED the law in 2022 in order to temporarily eliminate the statute of limitations regarding such claims. Ms Carroll duly took advantage, regarding her claim that Trump s*xually assaulted her in 1995. Zero proof whatsoever was shown at this show-trial that Trump did indeed do what she said. Claims with zero corroborating evidence do NOT equal proof, regardless of what a partisan judge and jury in a heavily Democrat district decide. The jury was indeed instructed that they didn't even NEED actual proof to come to their conclusion. It was an absolute farce, and makes a complete mockery of what is an extremely serious issue. Indeed it was only after Trump ran for president that Ms Carroll ever made the accusation at all. The precedents these hateful, demented, partisan psychopaths in government and through the courts are trying to set is something that should trouble EVERY decent person. They are extremely damaging. The weaponization of the legal system against enemies of the ruling regime is something that has taken place in Nazi Germany, Maoist China, and Leninist and Stalinist Russia. And now Democrats, in their rabid hatred of one man, are trying the very same in America. 'An evil enemy would burn his own nation to the ground, just to rule over the ashes'. This saying perfectly encapsulates the mentality of these Democrats in this moment. God protect and save America from all those who wish her destruction.
Ken, you are so completely shameless. You know full well that the responsibility to secure The Capitol lied with CONGRESS. It's their jurisdiction. A president can invoke The Insurrection Act (usually after many days of continuous unrest). A president may NOT order National Guard as a substitute for law enforcement. Congress - as well as DC Mayor Bowser - were aware that they could make a request to The Trump Administration ahead of J6 for National Guard backup to bolster security numbers on the day. Outside of a small number of National Guard used for traffic control, no such request was made by Mayor Bowser. Indeed Bowser made it very clear that she did NOT want additional personnel.
As for Congress, Capitol Police Chief Sund's request on January 4th for National Guard backup on J6 was TURNED DOWN. Communications surrounding the decision-making on this in Congress has been completely covered up. Then on J6 itself, Congress waited over an hour after the violence began to request National Guard. By the time they arrived it was evening time - long after the trouble had subsided. Even police from out of State arrived before National Guard did. This is because it takes hours to call up and deploy National Guard if not already in place. They needed to be already in place. They weren't, which is why so many people - including many police who were present at The Capitol on the day - believed they had been set up to fail.
Congress and the DC Mayor should have taken Trump up on his wise and generous offer of National Guard reinforcements to be put in place on the day. Unless, of course, you consider that they may have acted deliberately, to set the day up for chaos to frame and label MAGA and ultimately to try and destroy Trump - something which seems to have backfired badly with Trump leading Biden in polling ahead of this year's election.
It touches on many important points. Ray Epps is just one element - it's definitely curious how he was present at so many of the flash points on the day, and his repeated urgings on the morning of J6 and the night of J5 telling people to go IN to The Capitol. For the longest time Epps wasn't charged at all, and even had various Trump-haters coming to his defense (VERY strange). Epps' lawyer is even a prominent Democrat lawyer who has done various work on behalf of Media Matters (the notorious outlet of Democrat hatchet-man David Brock). It just makes no sense - unless Epps was an agent provocateur working to rile people up and ultimately entrap them. Epps faces minor charges compared to others. It's very unlikely he'll see jail time, despite being quite clearly more involved than many others who have faced serious charges and received lengthy sentences. I don't agree it's making him a fall guy. He's just one very obvious example of someone intimately involved in the events of that day who seems to have been protected.
As for Trump, there's zero evidence he encouraged any violence. As you say Trump was giving his speech a mile down the road when the initial breach and skirmishes occurred. At his speech he spoke of walking to The Capitol to "peacefully and patriotically have our voices heard". That's hardly the language of incitement. And then shortly after he concluded his speech he sent out his first tweet urging calm and for law enforcement to be respected.
The police saying they were set up to fail comes from THEIR OWN bodycam footage. You can't fake this. And why wouldn't they feel that way? It's clear that they were vastly under-resourced in terms of manpower that day. In order to get a better understanding of this I'd highly recommend watching Tucker Carlson's interview of then Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund (https://rumble.com/v36fm7t-tucker-carlson-ep.-15-steven-sund.html). Very enlightening.
I found it to be a good watch. There is plenty of footage of protesters not acting in a good way - and it's in no way trying to apologize for them. But likewise it shows police not acting in a good way. That officer - Officer Thau - it's just beyond belief how that guy acted. It just goes to show how much mayhem one single out-of-control rogue cop could cause. It's clear protocols weren't properly followed. Overall I think it provides very important context on how things transpired that day, linking things well via all the different converging timelines.
The footage was compiled by citizens and citizens groups. Footage is used from police bodycams, journalist footage, footage from citizens, and security camera footage. I'd encourage people to watch it. It's all time stamped and shows what was happening in various places at once. It helps shine a light on different things. There used to be a time where journalists in the mainstream media would have put such a production together. But I think we're past that time. Respect to the citizens who put in the work to be able to knit it all together. It's now in the historical record.
'So Merry Christmas to MTG as it made someone else merry too!'
Hold on, are you celebrating the fact that she and her family got swatted? Not really something to be joking about. Swattings have the potential to get people killed, since police are responding to a (supposed) armed and dangerous situation and shots could be fired from either side amid the confusion.
The last few years have seen a massive amount of swattings against conservative politicians and commentators in the USA. The FBI has seemed unable (or unwilling) to catch the perpetrators.
An absolutely absurd decision, with zero constitutional authority to back it up. Will almost certainly be reversed by the Supreme Court, likely 9-0. In a way this isn't the worst thing. I mean, quite obviously it's just part of Democrats' 'by any means necessary' approach to trying to take Trump out with all their lawfare nonsense. But it really lifts the mask on what The Democrats are about to the average person looking on (most have the capacity for reason, despite what you might see online). And you better believe a lot of those people are going to start leaning towards Trump - not necessarily because they really like the guy, but rather because they're starting to understand the existential threat posed by those who oppose him.
The riots in Dublin were by opportunist scumbags who don't represent the majority (or anywhere close)
There are many legitimate problems and grievances that people have here because our political class are a bunch of sellouts basically. But that doesn't excuse the violence, arson and looting that happened. Some people just saw an opportunity to be violent and act out in response to a genuinely horrific knife attack on children (and adults) outside a school. It was an attack that truly shocked the conscience. Thankfully order was restored relatively quickly.
Like many other countries, there is a lot of political turbulence and dissatisfaction with the political class. Our government is preoccupied with drafting Draconian hate speech laws (which can easily be abused by punishing people simply for POSSESSING material that the government deems offensive or hateful). There will probably be a political revolution at some stage in Ireland. At present we are little more than a Proxy State of Brussels, with a cost of living and housing crisis, and people are becoming increasingly resentful of government.
More evidence coming to light of this absolutely horrific censorship apparatus that was established a little over 5 years ago. This is fascistic in the true sense of the word - public and private actors working in concert to deprive citizens of their rights (in this case the right to free speech and freedom of expression). Please help your family members and friends and colleagues wake up.
I agree with you 100%. At the core of it it's a battle between good and evil (deception and false virtue versus imperfect reality). A battle between those who like to throw stones and those who have become increasingly adept at gathering the stones to use against the goliath. Despite all the things that one might find concerning on the surface, I'm not worried. I feel like everything is for a reason. I feel like evil has over-played its hand and its demise is simply a matter of time. What a time to be alive.
Well, it looks like the money trail has been uncovered
Chinese wire €5m to Hunter Biden's firm. Hunter's firm wires $400k (think of this as the personal payoff) to Hunter himself. Hunter then wires $150k to James Biden. And then finally James Biden wires $40k (ten percent of the $400k) to 'The Big Guy' himself, Joe Biden.
'LOS ANGELES — A man was cited and then released on suspicion of trespassing at the home of independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.
After that citation, the man returned to Kennedy’s home in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles, where he was arrested and booked for violating an emergency protective order, the LAPD said Thursday.
Police identified the man as 28-year-old Jonathan Macht of Los Angeles and said he was being held on $30,000 bail.
A private security detail had already detained Macht for going over the fence surrounding the property when police were called to the home, according to the LAPD.'
This is on the back of a man being arrested after trying to impersonate RFK's security at a political event. The man was locked and loaded with a significant amount of ammo. Joe Biden has continued to resist calls to provide RFK with a Secret Service detail, despite clear threats to his person. Are Biden and Democrats HOPING something will happen to RFK Jr?
