It’s annoying to me that all the countries that have been living off the teat of the USA are now upset that we’ve decided to charge them for that service. TOO BAD, SO SAD. Get over it.
I agree with your sentiment but always remain cautious. There is a new sociopath born every day and any could be Biden, Gates,Obama or any of the thousand behind the scenes doing what they do to destroy individual freedoms for self-advancement. Trump-type individuals are rare or we would not have had the centuries of mal-governance leading to centuries of war we have had. To preserve the few gains Trump has achieved we need to be better educated as citizens in human psychology and not elect the sociopaths we have a history of doing.
Yes, 100% correct. That is where this continent needs to start the clean-up. All universities must be dismantled. All public funding of these parasite-infected dens of socialism and communism must stop.
Once they lose their grip on our youth, we stand a chance of this hell not re-occurring for thousands of years. They must be discussed in every children's book as places of Satanic behaviors that nearly destroyed humanity under the pretext of 'educating' people.
Children must be taught about Trojan-horses and universities can be used as a perfect example.
Gates appears to be one of the many heads of this demon, Leviathan. I would not doubt that he is behind all the harms being done to children in the name of ‘philanthropy’. Human trafficking, normalizing pedophilia, vax-seens, mutilation of children after brainwashing them into believing they are ‘other than’ as they were born.
‘Gates of hell’ is where Messiah was standing as He said “The Gates of Hell will not prevail…..”……..Right where they worshipped Pan……yes as in ‘peter pan’, who was a molester of children.
Renaming Bill Gates as Gates of Hell would be fitting, as his plans are to vaccinate 500 MILLION CHILDREN soon.
The antidote to tyranny is an educated citizenry. We have been given the leaders we deserve due to the inattention and weak-minded adoption of whatever MSM puts out. Thank God that is shifting.
100% on us. I stress understanding sociopathic behavior. They make up 5% of society but the truly manipulative are closer to 1% and about as predatory of others as one could imagine. There is not much difference between politicians and serial killers but for method. The outcome of personal control/power over others is the same if permitted to get away with it. That is what we need to educate ourselves about and then adjust our voting behavior accordingly.
I've been in the "behaviour" business for 35+ yrs. Recently, I have observed a significant shift-loss of empathy, compassion and rise of base level anger along with depression, anxiety and suicide. I read about the potential of the jab to have injured brains and caused this outcome. I believe sociopaths are multiplying to levels far above 5%. I hope I'm wrong.
I agree with your sentiment. My readings lead me to believe sociopaths are born(genetic) and cultural(wealthy family ties lead to tribal behavior and other tribal behavior). To an extreme, the old Mets vs the Yankees rivalry was sociopathic but a shared beer or coffee could have changed this through a love of the game. I do not think COVID created sociopaths by changing brains but I do think that it was a strong enough issue that individuals like yourself stood out against those who could not leave the sanctity of being adherent to the demands of the system. I lost friends by their being unable to see the emerging top-down control I saw. They called me crazy and were totally surprised when they lost jobs because they did not follow the woke dictates. We still no longer communicate. I discovered no common ground that I believed was tenuously there prior. Now, nothing and nothing will recover. They always thought differently. I had been unaware before and now that I am they are not part of my day.
A sociopath is made--yes, nurtured. A psychopath is born--yes, nature. Therapy doesn't work on a psychopath, but can bring about some changes in sociopaths. And, yes, 2 important developments with the mandates: 1. temperature taken at the pineal gland (forehead between the eyes) impacted the gland and the endocrine system 2. substances in the jab, adjuvants used etc. have impacted the anterior insular cortex (part of the frontal cortex). When empathy is lost, which is what happens with damage to these parts of the brain, that is the main issue with sociopaths. It was also one of the goals of Agenda 2030--a submissive, obedient, non-thinking/feeling public. I sure agree with what you're saying about the people no longer in your life because you were thinking and paying attention.
About 20yrs ago I read Cleckley's "Mask of Sanity", 1941. But in reality it has been a gradual process because while I could see plenty of examples, my own trusting nature and not wanting to be overly critical of others needed several hits with a 2x4 to become fully aware. I worked in NYC for a Wall Street firm. I saw senior management first hand and they were predators of the worst kind. I eventually moved to working remotely and finally retired still advising in my own fashion which is totally contrary to WAL Street advice. Sociopaths are very nasty people.
Working on an investment app that will reflect the process I developed. The holding periods are in the range of 5-15yrs. Perhaps 12mos before it is released.
1) Identify better than avg manager talent. You look for success and honesty.
2) Buy shares when prices have a low corp valuation, i.e. buy when insiders buy shares
3) Buy shares when the economic indicators indicate a positive turn
4) Sell when consumer delinquency rates indicate financial system is topsy-turvey.
Psychology is a secular Faux Science and advise you to actually study The Holy Bible. God the Creator is the only expert with 'Human Psychology' and anybody believing humans capable of knowing humans is arrogant which is the basis of all insanity and evil.
Psychology, which I've practiced for 35+ yrs is like a labyrinth with no exit. If you break human behaviour down into the simpliest of forms, belief in good and bad, you can explain everything. If you apply the Bible as the medicine, miracles do happen.
Everybody thought I'd caught some kind of 'Mental Illness' when determining to leave the practice and go a different way...Especially after all the education, mentoring, internship...Practice.
Left almost two decades ago to follow the direction of Jesus Christ after reaching a knowing of how evil Psych as a 'Secular Faux-Science' was.
Found alternative training and worked in/with a Church Diocese.
FINALLY, ALL BECAME LOGICAL AND OF REASON WHEN BASED IN OUR LORD JESUS!!! All Glory and Honor to our Lord Jesus Christ...The real healer, physician, lover and just judge of the world. 💯🎯🙏🏻😊
Schools must stop teaching Marxism and start teaching critical thinking from a young age so future voters are smart voters. What just happened with Carney getting selected in Canada happened because the Liberal voters were caught up in fake ‘insta-patriotism’ drummed up by the media and Carney’s team with the premise that Canada was being threatened with huge Tariffs and being taken over by Trump to become the 51st State. In my mind, that was the best Trolling of Trudeau EVERRRR but our idiot Liberal voters have no critical thinking skills so they went ‘elbows up’ and voted in the WEF loving Globalist Carnage b/c he was positioned as the only person in Canada that could and would stand up to Trump. How’s that working, voters?
You are spot on. Recognize further that every Marxist, socialist and etc are sociopaths. That is, they do not recognize basic individual human rights vs institutional or system "rights". This is mentally defective from the rest of us. It is a problem that sociopathy makes up ~5% of the population and is either genetic or culturally directed i.e., "tribal thinking" or "hive-mind". In other words, if you grow up in a narrowly-defined wealthy family or religious community you have a tendency to see everyone as not part of your unique group and you view them as simply against "your team".
We need to truly take education to whole different level of precision that recognizes every individual. We have been taught more as if we were on a prescribed assembly line.
Saturday is the best day of the week thanks to amazing Substack posts from Elizabeth Nickson and Jeff Childers’ Coffee & Covid. I also subscribe to Substacks by Rod Dreher and James Howard Kunstler. All four folks bringing deep and invaluable insights and helping more and more people wake up and fight back against the Satanic insanity that’s been brought against us for the last 50-60+ years. Elizabeth, I’ve said this before and will say it again – you are a Canadian and North American hero and treasure . . . May God Bless you and your family.
I read Absurdistan, Dreher, and Kunstler myself. I invite you to give mine a try. I would welcome the thoughts of a fellow traveler. https://stephenkenny.substack.com/ It is the Great Awakening and has a micro perspective on the macro discussed by our favorites.
Agreed. Thank-you for the suggestion of Rod Dreher and James Howard Kunstler--I eagerly look forward to reading both of them. Can never get too much of this good stuff!
"...wispy beta-males and terrifying bullying women who have run us into the ditch, with wars and budgetary malfeasance. None of them must be allowed near power ever again."
First neuter them, then insure they are never allowed near a child again. This will help ensure there won't be another litter of them raised every 20 years to terrorize us.
Some of what you are saying is true but we haven’t talked yet about the “defense” budget here in the States, nor what is happening to all the money being “saved” by DOGE, nor why Starmer and Carney and Trump and all the “left” and “right” leaders all over the world, supposedly from different factions, all, to a man/woman, are supporting, openly, the ongoing extermination of the Palestinians…..there is something else going on here, that simply needs to be talked about.
I like to talk about quality of life when I “rate” a leader, society, culture, program, political party or nation, but my metrics aren’t proximity to a “good” heart doctor, or a “good” school or “median family income” and so on.
I look at things like this:
How likely am I to step in dog shit when I walk out of my house in the morning?
Is my car still there in front of my house, intact?
How many interactions will I have with the State each day?
What per centage of my time and money will be spent on dealing with fines, penalties, permits, Zoom meetings, and so on?
When you have positive answers to each of these (and you could pose many many more) questions, one’s quality of life is immeasurably improved. With that comes more free time. With free time, your quality of life improves, and the unknown potential of human creativity might be revealed.
Illegal aliens, Moslem “jihadists” and all the “others” that so many delight in pointing fingers at barely register when it comes to the effects on the quality of life for the average Americans, and, in the case of many (not all) of the illegals the fact they have is largely positive.
Are open borders an abomination? Absolutely! Are rape gangs in Sweden or the UK abhorrent to any decent human and worthy of being exterminated, immediately? Of course. But is getting rid of illegals (which will never happen, especially not under Trump) and banning Sharia law and all that nonsense doing anything to improve our quality of life? A hard, definite, fuck no!
What would improve it is an immediate end to ALL foreign aid, including Israel. A massive reduction in ALL government spending, including the “defense” department. The savings from those actions should be immediately redistributed to the people from whom it was taken. We should deport all criminal aliens and give others a clear, defined path to employment, possibly residence here, in situations where that makes sense. Pretending that most illegals are “taking our jobs” is such utter bullshit that it should be embarrassing to even bring it up.
We don’t need “growth”. We need stability. We need safe streets, whether through parenting or policing. We need a DRASTIC reduction in the size of ALL government, whether local, state or federal, whether run by “populists” or globalists. We need a streamlining of the court system where cases are adjudicated in days or weeks,, possibly sometimes months, but never more than that. We need to get rid of immunity from prosecution for criminals who hide behind corporate structures to stay free from the consequences of their actions. I could go on and on for pages and pages.
The relevant point in all of this is that, if you examine Trump’s actions through one or more of these lenses, you see very little, or no positive movement. He is, at best, tinkering around the edges. He is clearly beholden to Zionist blackmail….for whatever reason. His biggest and best contribution to the planet right now is his assertion that “crises” can usually be solved quickly, where there is a will. Every small business has always known that. We just don’t have a voice.
So yeah, RFK at HHS is a big win, with better things yet to come. Mike Walz, Rubio, Pam Bondi, all of his economic advisors: as bad as anyone Biden ever had. Trump’s net effect on quality of life for small businesses, families, the people who actually make this fucking function is minimal, with some actions pointing in the negative direction and several pointing in the positive.
The globalists aren’t done or gone: Trump is one of them And surrounded by them. As of now, one faction seems to have supplanted the other.
I’m praying for help, divine help, because we ain’t getting it from the Republican Party here in America. And the Democrats are so compromised with pure evil that they are irrelevant to a positive future.
The condition we are in didn’t happen in a day, or even six months. Trump has been in office not quite six months. We, of the TV generations, have no patience. This bill passed Thursday and signed yesterday, was a reconciliation, aka, budget bill. It could not do all we need done, per the restrictions on that kind of legislation. There is much to be still done. I believe it will get done in the coming months. We need to clean voter rolls and secure the mid term elections. People were elected due to late voting, illegals voting, and fake ballots, among many other fraudulent tricks. I used to live in WA, and that state is very skilled in all the varied ways of voter fraud. I do believe the winds have shifted. We are truly in the last gasps of the Fourth Turning. I plan to live long enough to enjoy the entire span of the First Turning of a new cycle. I was born in the First Turning but came of age in our current cycle’s Second Turning. My eyes were opened in 2016 to the corruption and once seen it cannot be unseen. I want to leave this planet with the world in a more peaceful place than it has been for most of my lifetime.
We need to understand that you don't just step out of quicksand, especially when you are neck deep in it, like western society has been for the last 30 years or more.
Understood, and fair enough. My point is that you don’t make things worse by wading deeper and then claiming “we were already stuck”. You stop the bleeding first, and then heal the wound, and then, when things are stabilized, you start with the finger pointing.
Large increases in “defense” spending, revocation of visas and expulsions of immigrants more based on their views on the Middle East than criminal activity, expanded involvement in overseas conflicts (whatever the merits may or may not be), an Israel exception to “America First”, a Pentagon exception to DOGE, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of dollars supposedly being “saved” but NO accounting as to where that “saved” money is going to, ZERO help for small businesses, only help for mega corporations, ZERO help for families…..this isn’t just “it takes a long time to turn the ship around”, but rather, “we are going to stay the course, but bob and weave a bit to distract the plebes”.
You make excellent points on both sides. I'm trying to decide if you are more liberal than patriot 🤔 you lose me when you defend Palestinians. Gaza has been a hot bed for terrorists forever..its the most beautiful part of Israel and it's regularly blow to smithereens. The "Palestinians " cry victim but they defend their HAMAS leaders every turn. There is a reason why no other country wants to take them as refugees. Other than that, I agree US dollars should stay in US. Once the gravy train is cut off, much of the world will be forced to clean up their own acts. Anyway.. many good points.
And all the aid they received over the years squandered for terrorist activities and not to improve citizens’ lives. They could easily have become as prosperous as the rest of Israel. I’d say this is similar to many African countries.
No, Gaza couldn’t become wealthy because their access to resources was 100% controlled and limited by Israel. But with what little they could scrounge together they built hospitals and universities, and raised 1/3 of the food they ate on the very limited land they were allowed to farm. If you lived in a place completely surrounded by barbed wire, watch towers and gunboats, you just might lash out, too. I condemn violence, but for God’s sake, if we don’t understand why it happens we will never break the cycle.
Don't know what you have been reading Ron . . . but in 2005 when the Israelis left Gaza, pulled out families that had lived there for generations and left Farms, Greenhouses, Business & Homes . . . the Gazans DESTROYED IT ALL . . .
Then they started firing rockets and digging tunnels. They built more Terror Tunnels than the London Underground . . . did you know?
Israel merely inspected incoming cargo for weapons and other contraband.
The Hamas leaders are in Turkey today with 13 BILLION in their bank accounts.
They squandered Billions donated by the World . . . and taught their Children to Hate and strapped bombs on them. Bomber families got a nice Pension from Hamas.
Do you know who built the highest Border Fence? Egypt !
Dale, if you were confined to a concentration camp where access to everything from food to building materials to electricity was dependent on the whims of your camp guards, I suspect you would lash out in any way you could. Israel restricted food, water, and energy for years before 10/7. Then they would periodically "mow the lawn" by bombing infrastructure. They would shoot farmers working the fields and attack fishing boats inside Gaza's waters. How long would you remain stoic in those circumstances?
When did you ever read about a Concentration Camp that build over 200 miles of Concrete Tunnels with Billions of $$$s supplied by Oil States, UN & Euro govts. ? ? ?
The Citizens of Gaza ELECTED Hamas . . . did you know?
90% of them supported Hamas right up to Oct 7 . . . and many still do.
The "Bombing" all came from Gaza . . . they stored weapons in homes, hospitals & schools.
The Euros felt sorry for them and built them a water system . . . they pulled up the pipes to make Rockets to fire into Israel.
The were NO Guards, unless they were Hamas . . . they brought in Weapons from Egypt and by sea when they could. Funded, Trained and Sponsored by IRAN. They had a tunnel into Egypt that you could drive a Hummer through. Did you know?
They sent Suicide bombers into Israel . . . sometimes children.
Mothers wished they had more children to offer, as they got their Pension Cheque from Hamas.
The Govt before Netanyahu gave 1000s of Gazans Work Permits to Work in Israel . . . many of them stayed behind to create the breach of the security on Oct. 7. They found hand drawn diagrams of the towns and villages along the border where they struck.
You are repeating absolute nonsense . . . where did you get that nonsense . . . listening to Al Jazera propaganda ?
The Hamas leaders live like Kings in Turkey, they moved from Qatar when Trump went to visit. They have 13 Billion in their bank accounts.
Like ole Arafat's wife, who was left with only 3 Billion when the Egyption PLO Terrorist died. Obviously lucrative business.
Can you explain how the hospitals became operating platforms for HAMAS terrorist attacks, storage centres of stolen foreign aid intended for the People? And how come so many hospital staff were engaged in HAMAS terrorist activities?
In my view, looking objectively, the Palestinians, Gazians, HAMAS are no better than Israel. Israel protects pedophiles, and that tells me everything I need to know about Israel, although I did do a deep dive to learn what they think about me, since I am white and they hate whites.
If we cut off ALL dollars to the ME, Israel and Egypt as well, they, too would be forced to clean up their act. It’s good to have a perpetual enemy, or be a perpetual victim, to justify seeking handouts, whether in the ME or urban America.
My point is that America first has to mean “American First”. There can’t be an Israel exception because Moslem are bad guys. Every single American is free to spend his or her treasure and blood defending whatever they wish to do, just leave the rest of us out of it. Not mostly out of it, OUT of it.
The Pentagon needs to be audited, and have its wasteful budget drastically reduced. I have heard no signs of that even being discussed, much less becoming a reality. Appropriated spending apparently has just been INCREASED in the BBB….no audit. We, the people, will never know what happened to trillions of dollars, nor why Epstein was protected for so long until he wasn’t, nor why the “tax breaks” go exclusively to the wealthy, why stifling business regulations are removed only for the corporations, and so on. So forgive me for not being so enthusiastic about Trump 2.0. I see Rubio, Bondi, Hesgeth et al in powerful positions. I see Gabbard’s transformation into Colin Powell. The only positives I see/saw were RFK and Musk, and now Musk is banished from Mar-a-Lago…..who wudda thunk?
And to help clear up the confusion, I’m Christian, French and Italian background, born into the Democratic Party, as all Catholic immigrants were back in the day. My father left first, followed by the rest of the family. We ALL voted Trump in 2024, not because we thought he was a savior, but because he offered the (slim) possibility of survival, and was better than the wackos the Dems were shoving down our throats.
And yes, I’m a patriot. America first, no Israel exception. Shrink the government, n9 exceptions. USMC infantry, as was my dear brother in law. My mother grew up under Nazi occupation in northern France, and was a highly decorated member of the French Resistance. She also held rank in the American Army, and was granted citizenship in America by grateful American authorities after the war. She was deeply grateful herself to be able to live free from the internecine European conflicts that destroyed so much, and so many. I take my cues from her, and from my father, also the son of (poor, legal) Italian immigrants. Every single one of us served in the military. Every single one of us is or was incredibly grateful for the opportunity America offered us. Every single one of us would willingly die to defend our families, our freedoms, our neighbors. And NONE of us is interested in dying to protect Israel, Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Ag, or Big Anything.
No one is "Dying" to protect Israel but Israelis . . .
One might ask how Tiny Israel has survived for 77 years amongst the 100s of Millions of J*w hating muslims? It's in their Book man . . . I suspect you have never read it.
They have survived because they are protected by the Hand of God . . . read Zechariah chapters 8 - 14 . . . being fulfilled today.
When Jesus returns he will Judge the nations . . .
Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Israel has survived because it is, by far, the largest recipient of welfare, economic and military largesse, in the world. What it receives makes the USAID scandal look like lemonade stand money.
Research the USS LIberty. Too many of our military already have died for the slimeball Zionist, anti-Christian state.
The point of my comment, which has escaped your grasp apparently, is that I disagree with Ms. Nickson’s cheerleading for Trump, at this point. He has broken some fundamental promises, promises that were foundational to the MAGA platform, and, without which, there ain’t no MAGA. Unprovoked attacks on Iran, failure to even pretend to audit the Pentagon, increased spending for the Pentagon, and what should be humiliating groveling in front of Netanyahu aren’t MAGA.
You, and all the shills for the Zionist genocide are more than free to strap up and fight for your God, and send your treasure over there. Your choice. Trump promised he would not do that, yet, in his first 6 months, he is stumbling over himself to get us involved in the MEi nternal conflicts, and shoveling our money over there. Nothing has changed in our ME policy vis a vis Biden. Same old shit, same old performance theater.
Iran has attacked US forces over 80 times . . . are YOU not aware?
You drag up a 1967 Ship incident to bash Israel . . . but ignore the Marine Baracks Bombing in Lebanon instigated by IRAN, along with numerous attacks on US forces over the decades.
Iran also created, trained and armed Terror Proxies, Hamas, Hezbola & Houthis.
The Mullahs have been shouting Death to America & Israel for 40 years . . . have you been listening? Likely only a few weeks from a Nuke Device and their Missiles could already reach Europe and soon the USA.
If you knew anything about Shia Islam, which you don't . . . you would know that the Mullahs would be quite fine dying for their cause, just like the Gazans. Their reward is in heaven. Shia also believe if they start a global conflict it will release the 12th Imam who will conquor the world for Islam and create a Global Califat.
Your understanding of the ME is obviously very low . . . they want the Jews out because they are on previously Islam Occupied land.
You are obviously a Jew hater, long history of Jew hate in the Roman Church. God is going to deal with the Nations based on how they treat tiny Israel . . .
When Jesus returns he will sit on King David's Throne in the Temple in Jerusalem . . . according to the scriptures.
Trump is doing a Great Job because he "Gets It" . . .
Don't anybody worry about the Palestinians. They won't be exterminated because they are all in Canada. And they brought HAMAS and the Iranian regime with them.
Yes, we've let them in. The fact that other Arabic speaking nations won't have them, despite offering sanctuary in the past seems to be a mute point. Countries kick them out because of their ingratitude and intention to convert or kill the native citizens. They don't assimilate; have no intention of ever doing that. Their intention is to spread Islam at all costs.
Canada hasn't had a monarch since 1931. The British Parliament passed the Statute of Westminster, 1931 and released all provinces (decolonized all provinces).
Because Queen E II was an imposter and actually swore allegiance to the Catholic Pope during her 'coronation' of 1953, in 1957 during her first televised speech she stated clearly she didn't make laws or assent to any.
From 1931 the provinces of Canada were sovereign nation-states, free to install a proper republic-style government (where decision-makers and judges, etc are elected) with a Constitution written by the People for the People and ratified by the People. We are actually 10 sovereign States, but don't act like it.
In addition, there never was a signing of the British North America Act in 1867 because the-then 3 provinces that existed rejected all Dominion and wanted their sovereign republics (just as the US States each had).
None of this is secret ... it was all exposed in the House of Commons in Ottawa by an MP Walter Kuhl, who said that the government was failing to do it's duty to let the population know.
But the imposter feds would all be out of work and no longer have access to free money if they were to announce the true nation-state status of the former provinces.
So why can't we get free of the corporations masquerading as 'goverment'?
Because alternative media want to give press to no one but those who wish to maintain and protect the imposter corporate system, preventing the public from ever learning our true status as 10 nation-states entitled to excercise their own rights to a State and State Constitution that protects individual rights and seriously limits government power and authority.
Actually, alternative media in Canada is a bigger disappointment than legacy media, as we have always known that legacy media is a corporate government-funded state propaganda and psy op operation.
Alternative media in Canada is primarily controlled opposition. They usually critique policy and appear to criticize the imposter government, but hell will freeze over before they ever look into whether the imposter government is even legitimate. The money is in dropping the same names in their articles as the imposter government wants to be kept in the spotlight.
Not once have I heard or seen a single podcast, video or article that says 'hey wait folks, it looks like it's all a massive fraud and the true status of every former province is a sovereign nation state'. Not a single one.
Thank you for your reply. I am an Englishman at 72yo and thought very little could shock me these days, but your post has knocked me for six, especially as King Charles (not my King) has just made a visit to back up that cretin Carney over Trumps sanctions.
It had raised questions about my delusions. Is Canada still part of the British Commonwealth? Or more importantly, why are you nut jobs in power acting in sync with our nut jobs in power? Letting in the whole world etc.
They say you learn something new every day, I never in my wildest imagination thought that 'something. would be as big as this. I will admit to not having an interest in history until later in life, but I can't get past why I didn't know something so monumental like this.
You didn't get to know something like this because the corporate government funds all sorts of new 'news' agencies and special interest groups that keep us distracted and believing what they want us to believe. The education system is run by those 'selected' by the corporate government.
I am so sick of alternative media that sometimes I think I'll just go back to legacy media where they don't hide that they are corrupt.
Gazans would have had a much easier ride if they didn't attack Israeli Citizens killing over 1200 and taking over 250 + Prisoners.
Even today as Hamas is being descimated they won't release 50 some captives, many who are already dead.
So what motivates them?
Same thing that motivates the rapists in Europe, the muslim welfare queens in Britain and the insane Mullahs in Iran. Or the demonstrators in our universities and in New York & Dearborn. They believe their Religion is going to Take Over the World for alla . . .
You have no friggin clue what damage is being done in Europe & the USA today by these Cultists.
When you Cut Costs Today . . . you don't see the Savings till Next Year . . . Next year's Budget should be a step in the right direction . . .
The Illegals are on the way out . . . it is going to take YEARS . . . but they need to keep leaving . . . maybe more incentives ?
Israel is one of the Tech Giants on the planet today . . . the Only Democracy in the ME and have worked with the US on many, many Tech, Military & Science venues.
Trump has been in power for a little over 5 months . . . did you expect EVERYTHING to be fixed by today?
Whose "Devine" help were you hoping to tap into? The Pope or maybe Baal ?
You have to go back centuries, but for a more modern take, look to Kuwait, Egypt, Jordon and Lebanon to understand why no other Muslim country, other than Iran, has come the Gaza's aid.
Iran only helped because Hamas, along with Hezbollah, are Iran's proxies.
There's a very old but true saying. If the Muslims laid down their weapons, there would be peace in the Middle East. If Israel laid down their weapons, there would be slaughter and total annihilation of the Jews.
Just to clarify my position on this. After what I have watched, If I were in charge of Israel on October 7th, Gaza would have been a glass sheet by October 8th.
You are right Joe . . . the islamic savages have been killing J*ws since the 7th Century . . . It's ALL in their Book, just following the lead of their Prophet.
What these notables thought of the Religion of Pieces . . . .
“a state of permanent hostility” — Karl Marx
“Islam’s world-view is very similar to ours” — Heinrich Himmler
“…undistinguishing and exterminating war… against all the rest of mankind” — John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the United States
“…unspiritual, concerned to win the empire of the world” – Bertrand Russell
“…the enemies of civilization” — Theodore Roosevelt
Only sympathizer was the "fascist" . . . of course the Mufti of Jerusalem was an ally and actually went to Berlin in the 40s.
Of course the history of the Roman Church is not much better . . .
History is your friend Joe . . . we are watching Islamists taking over countries in Europe today . . . some say Europe will be islamic in 50 years.
"Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world."
Of course, Hamas deserves no blame whatsoever for what the IDF is doing, right? Because Hamas didn't take that beautiful strip of land, Gaza, and refuse to do anything productive with it, did they?
The twenty years of Gazans since the Israelis left in 2005 could have realized that Israel wasn't going anywhere. They could have gone straight. They could, as many have pointed out, have turned Gaza into an Arab Monte Carlo. Investors from all over the world would have been interested in putting money into such a project when they came to believe the Gazans were serious. Today, Gaza could be a prosperous territory, middle class, with the thousands of young men whom their elders trained to be murderous psychopaths instead having been trained for careers in the thousands of jobs such a resort always has to offer. Think how many families will never be, how much happiness will never be enjoyed.
The Jews of Europe straggled into the Protectorate in the couple of years after the defeat of the Nazi genocidalists. In approximately the same amount of time which elapsed between the Israelis' having left Gaza in 2005 and October 7th, 2023, the Israelis managed to build a Second World nation with a First World military. For a half century, Israel has been a First World nation, as well. Militarily, Israel is our most reliable ally in the world.
It is VILE, nothing less, for you to speak of the Israelis desperate effort to save their nation and their lives as "genocide." You don't fool me for a moment. In my opinion you're a Nazi.
. Zionist actions, and words, their words, their actions, fit the literal, textbook definition of genocide. You seem to be fine with that, and so be it, but at least use a dictionary before condemning me as “vile” for using a word, correctly
Is it genocidal to defend your country against attackers. Were the Israelis supposed to do nothing after October 7th? Were we trying to commit genocide when we firebombed Germany and Japan during World War II, and when we dropped nuclear bombs on Japan? Or had we decided - justifiably, in view of continued German and Japanese resistance after the firebombings, and continued Japanese resistance after Hiroshima - that we needed to do those terrible things to destroy the enemies' malignant wills to go on fighting?
Who made Hamas put their entire military infrastructure in the middle of the civilian population? Any honest assessment of this has to conclude that they did it to try to arouse the sympathies of the unthinking and the already prejudiced when the Israelis struck back.
Maybe you're among the former, and if so, I apologize.
Genocide is the planned, concerted attempt to destroy a particular group of people. First, there has never in the history of the world been a nation of Palestine. Had you known that? Palestine is a region, and Israel is a part of it, but there has never been a nation named "Palestine." "Palestine" and "Palestinians" were brilliant propaganda constructions of Yasir Arafat's PLO in the 1960s, concocted to persuade people ignorant of history that a great injustice was being perpetuated.
Second, if the Israelis are trying to commit genocide against the Gazan population, they're terribly incompetent at it. Go to First Things, and read Gerald McDermott's article, "Genocide in Gaza?"
Your comment should not be longer than the original essay. Elizabeth is brilliant, strengthens my resolve, and an absolute joy to read. Your writing is an Adderall induced whiny bitch session clinging the coattails of greatness. You lost me in two sentences and putting any reader foolish enough to read more in a coma. Boo on you!
I happen to think Elizabeth’s writing is brilliant as well, which is why I’m a subscriber. I agree with her on many things, but nor her unchecked enthusiasm for everything the Trumpers are doing. I simply point out the realities of life aren’t (yet?) much different than with Biden or anyone else, that we are increasing the federal budget, not slashing it, pumping weapons and treasure into overseas conflicts that we have no skin in and weren’t part of the MAGA platform, and were becoming openly subservient to the Zionist lunatics who are determined to start wars wherever they can and take America with them.
We’ve got a massive war in this country that started in 2020. 48% of Dems have and 17% of repubs have dual citizenship.
The GOP are equivalent to the self loathing Anglo. Weakness, cowardice, greed, deceit, and betrayal describe what they stand for. They don’t respect their constituents, they suck Donkey cock then have the nerve to tell us how evil democrats are. Root them out! They have no shame. Our nation is morally bankrupt and I’m sad to say there aren’t enough good men left with the courage and tenacity to wage war.
"what is happening to all the money being “saved” by DOGE," ? ? ?
So Joe . . . if you made your last Car Payment today . . . how much money would you have because you no longer have to make a Car Payment? Nothing . . .
Many of the 1000s of laid off employees are being paid till October or so . . . yes!
Economics can be your friend man . . . if you paid $500 a month for the car, you would not have the $6000 you saved till next JULY . . . correct !
I have to vigorously disagree with you , getting rid of illegal immigrants with drastically improve our quality of life, especially relative to where one lives. They are stealing our money, ransacking our cites with their riots, raping and killing, and taking up valuable time that Trump could be using otherwise to our advantage as he fights the radical judicial to get rid of people that shouldn’t be here in the first place. It’s a deliberate hijacking of his agenda.
For the record, I am completely against illegal immigration.
I am extremely disappointed in the Trump administration because, apart from a few high profile, raids and arrest, the bulk of the immigration enforcement efforts have been against people who criticize Israel.
I am all for getting rid of the criminals the rapist and all of them and permanently banning them from America with no exceptions.
As for the rest of them who are here illegally, but apart from that largely following the laws, I would make it quick and easy for them to be here temporarily. They could pay a fine of $10,000 or so or whatever makes sense, return to their home country for processing, and then be allowed in as workers as long as they checked in regularly. They should be obliged to get their own health insurance and should never be eligible for government programs. They should be able to come and go as they want, but there should not be a path to citizenship just because they’ve been here for a while already.
My biggest overall complaint about the Trump administration is the foreign wars. I am a marine veteran and we have dozens of military in my family. We all voted for Trump, and one of the main reasons we voted for him was because we are sick of the wars. We believe in America first, not Israel first.
While I remain hopeful, that something can be salvaged from his administration, the nonsense that he is involving us in the Middle East, combined with his flip-flopping on the Epstein case, leaves me rather forlorn and hopeless.
I think Trump’s attacks on Bannon and Tucker, Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard and his insane fixation on getting rid of Massie from the House of Representatives are all signs that he is under someone else’s control at this point for whatever reason.
I hope and pray he goes back to his platform that he ran on and that we resume the course towards America first
I think you have pinpointed Debbie Wasserman Schultz' vibe. Ghoul. I would add unscrupulous as her adjective. Yet the Democrats "somehow" keep electing her even after she was shown to have rigged a primary as a favor to Hillary and so was forced to resign as DNC chair. And she continued to employ a family of Pakistani spies in her Congressional office although they were under investigation for bank fraud. Right up to the minute they tried to flee the country. Yet she is still in Congress. They really have no shame. Her time has arrived.
It is 4:30 AM and I am laughing out loud with the image of DW Shultz gasping like a trout on the side of a pond in disbelief. And also your mom sending you lists of supplements to take…. That was my grandmother in a nutshell. Every time I barbecue I hear her admonishment of “ carcinogenic” etc. It is fun to be winning .
What a great article and the feeling of HOPE that runs right through it! I kept looking for one word that to me sums up the current times and allows us to truly enjoy ourselves as we shrug off the last 15 years of Turdeau, Pope Francis, Wuhan Flu, WEF, Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe etc. and that is one of the only pronounceable German words I know. Drum roll please and some Donnie T's ALL CAPs -
Can't wait to start seeing some arrests, charges, prosecutions, convictions and serious PRISON time for what these sociopaths did to us for decades, apparently without a whisper of conscience about it.
Thanks Elizabeth, I especially enjoyed the John Rich clip. A couple things I’m concerned about are Palantir, I have yet to figure out this Thiel character, and the report that Warren Buffet gave 60 billion to the Gates Foundation. Is there an honest investment anywhere? Or is it only the devil class who can make money?
Excellent! 👏👏👏I’ve been smiling from ear to ear since November. Watching the elites from both parties squirm is such delightful entertainment.Let’s get our house in order and then help western Canada become healthy again!
Wow! You are a breath of fresh air! Thank you for your clear and concise summary of where we are in the world. I am believing that righteousness and truth will OVERCOME the darkness.
Thank you Elizabeth. I get about 100 emails a day and I always read your post first. So uplifting. I'm sure that the information you share helps those brutalized by the last 4 years to keep going another day. Thank you for the hope.
"Frankly I don’t care about anything but this. Economic growth."
Exactly. In America at least, we had the highest purchasing power of our lives in Dec. 2019. Then our 'heroes' unleashed their Chinese paymasters' flu virus and kicked Trump out of orifice.
Glad you're feeling optimistic but only when a lot of politicians and bureaucrats start being put in jail will I be convinced that progress is being made.
Democracy is an illusion and your vote doesn't matter. Even if a political party was made up of completely altruistic politicians they wouldn't be able to make any headway against the Blob. All Government needs to go. At all levels!
You keep missing the biggest drain on the USA's wealth, israel and the military. Regarding the recent attack on Iran you don't seem to know anything about it. It certainly was a sight to behold when the Iranian hypersonics were launched in retaliation, and could be seen in their multitudes streaming through the night skies of Occupied Palestine. Maybe one day the Palestinians will also have the freedom that you and I both cherish.
Hamas is a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood . . . Obama's friends.
Gazans are descendants of migrant workers who came to Judea Samaria from the late 19th to early 20th Century. They left the region months before the UN declared Israel a State in May 1948 . . .
The Prophet Isaiah said "can a Country be born in a day" . . .
Their cousins in neighboring Arab countries promised to drive the J*ws into the Sea and they could come back for the spoils.
Those same Arab Countries expelled over 700,000 J*ws with whatever they could carry . . . are they still living on a Beach somewhere 70 years later?
No Gazan EVER lived in Israel . . .
But they were kept as a Political Statement . . .
"The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity." - Zahir Muhse’in, PLO Executive Committee, March 31, 1977
"You should attack every Jew possible in all the world and kill them." - Hamas leader Fathi Hamad, 2019
“Islam’s world-view is very similar to ours” — Heinrich Himmler
All lies. There never was any state called israel before the Nakba of 1948 when through heinous treachery against their hosts in Palestine the zionist jews attacked their neighbors and violently with much bloodshed expelled over 700,000 people to adjoining countries.
If you really want to get informed . . . look up Ottoman Census from the early 1900s . . . J*ws and Christians made up the majority of the population of Jerusalem.
J*ws lived continually in Jerusalem for 4,000 years . . .
Saladin founded the Ayyubid dynasty a Kurd . . .
Saladin liked the J*ws in the 11th century and encouraged them to stay.
Hosts? You are spouting nonsense man . . .
The Arab countries attacked little Israel on the 16th of May after the UN declared them a country.
None of the Gazans EVER lived in Israel . . .
But the Arab countries did expel over 700,000 J*ws minus their possessions of course. Are they on a Beach somewhere today?
Out of the British Mandate they also created in the 1940s Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, plus Jordan as a State for the Arabs.
No one complained . . . did Jordan exist before?
There is plenty of evidence that the State of Israel existed . . . in fact today you can take a journey through history just with the Excavations going on . . . walk where King David walked and explore the Pool and the route to the 2nd Temple.
Many artifacts connected to the J*ws . . . sadly not ONE connected to the Islamists !
In 1967 the Arab Countries had the best equipment the Soviets could supply . . . vastly outnumbered the Israelis were almost to Cairo when the Soviets called for a ceasefire. Then they did a repeat in 73 I believe and lost again.
Iran spent decades creating a "Ring of Fire" around tiny Israel. Hamas, Hezbola, the regime in Syria and the Houthis were all Financed, Equipped and Trained by Iran. With the help of Obama & Biden BILLIONS I might add.
The Hamas Charter even tells us their intentions . . .
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it" - Hamas Charter
"You should attack every Jew possible in all the world and kill them." - Hamas leader Fathi Hamad, 2019
Is Palestine a legitimate state?
The International Criminal Court (ICC) answered this question, and said no." - The International Criminal Court [2012]
Islam is batting ZERO these days, seems alla just can't get it done . . . perhaps everything about islam is a fraud.
Interesting video "The Truth About Islam's Origins - Jay Smith"
Europe warred for Centuries, much of it caused by the Roman Church to keep Kings & Rulers in line . . . and contributing to the cause.
The Roman Church also blamed Jews for killing Christ, the sponsored many Progroms over the centuries. The Crusades killed 1000s of Jews wherever they found them back in the day . . . Real Christians were in similar danger from the Popes, read "Foxes Book of Martyrs".
Banking was one of the few areas that the Euros in the Middle Ages allowed the Jews to work at . . . seems they were just as stupid than as now. Today Europe is overrun by Millions of Islamists, who will likely take over in the next 50 years or less.
Put down the Protocols man . . . it was all made up . . .
Biggest drain on USA wealth . . . was Iran. Both Obama & Biden sent them untold BILLIONS. Which funded Iran and her Proxies, Hamas, Hezbola, & Houthis.
Last October Iran fired 100s of Missiles into Israel . . . their defence system knocked most of them down. But Iran did attack first.
Israeli technology made the F-35 into a lethal weapon, they have leading edge technology and contribute much to the USA.
Do you know anything about Shia Islam? I suspect NO . . . the Iranian Mullahs have funded terror all over the ME.
What's a "Palestinian" ? Arafat, the Egyptian PLO leader, invented the Flag and the entire Palestinian narrative . . .
The Gazans are descendants of parents & grandparents who came from surrounding countries for Jobs in the late 19 & early 20th centuries. None of them ever lived in Israel.
The Gazans were left to their own devices in 2005, the day after the IDF pulled out, immediately the began firing rockets into Israel. They built more terror tunnels than the London Underground. Taught their children to hate and strapped bombs on them, then got an Hamas Pension. Your kind of people . . . . lol
Lebanon was once a Catholic Christian country, but in the 70s & 80s were taken over by the same clowns. Now Hezbola has been smashed thanks to the IDF and the Lebanese seem to have their country back.
Paying attention to Universities in Canada & USA? Radicals taking over . . .
To stupid for words, this idiot is so in love with a false narrative that any thing contrary to it causes the Dude to go running for a bottle of Aspirin.
"This modern anti-Israeli exterminatory wave is the prolongation of the Euro-Arab anti-Zionist Nazi alliance that produced from the 1920s the anti-Jewish hatred that generated the Shoah. It continues today, carried over by the Eurabian ideology. However as the European states support for murderous anti-Israeli jihadist ideology grows stronger, the more these states are destroyed by it."
It’s annoying to me that all the countries that have been living off the teat of the USA are now upset that we’ve decided to charge them for that service. TOO BAD, SO SAD. Get over it.
I agree with your sentiment but always remain cautious. There is a new sociopath born every day and any could be Biden, Gates,Obama or any of the thousand behind the scenes doing what they do to destroy individual freedoms for self-advancement. Trump-type individuals are rare or we would not have had the centuries of mal-governance leading to centuries of war we have had. To preserve the few gains Trump has achieved we need to be better educated as citizens in human psychology and not elect the sociopaths we have a history of doing.
Our universities are churning out little sociopaths, who look for ones like them to put into office.
Yes, 100% correct. That is where this continent needs to start the clean-up. All universities must be dismantled. All public funding of these parasite-infected dens of socialism and communism must stop.
Once they lose their grip on our youth, we stand a chance of this hell not re-occurring for thousands of years. They must be discussed in every children's book as places of Satanic behaviors that nearly destroyed humanity under the pretext of 'educating' people.
Children must be taught about Trojan-horses and universities can be used as a perfect example.
🎯💯👏👏👏
Agreed!
Gates appears to be one of the many heads of this demon, Leviathan. I would not doubt that he is behind all the harms being done to children in the name of ‘philanthropy’. Human trafficking, normalizing pedophilia, vax-seens, mutilation of children after brainwashing them into believing they are ‘other than’ as they were born.
‘Gates of hell’ is where Messiah was standing as He said “The Gates of Hell will not prevail…..”……..Right where they worshipped Pan……yes as in ‘peter pan’, who was a molester of children.
Renaming Bill Gates as Gates of Hell would be fitting, as his plans are to vaccinate 500 MILLION CHILDREN soon.
The antidote to tyranny is an educated citizenry. We have been given the leaders we deserve due to the inattention and weak-minded adoption of whatever MSM puts out. Thank God that is shifting.
1000%
Amen Beth! I couldn't agree more.
Trump is the pied piper. No one is coming to save us, but us.
100% on us. I stress understanding sociopathic behavior. They make up 5% of society but the truly manipulative are closer to 1% and about as predatory of others as one could imagine. There is not much difference between politicians and serial killers but for method. The outcome of personal control/power over others is the same if permitted to get away with it. That is what we need to educate ourselves about and then adjust our voting behavior accordingly.
I've been in the "behaviour" business for 35+ yrs. Recently, I have observed a significant shift-loss of empathy, compassion and rise of base level anger along with depression, anxiety and suicide. I read about the potential of the jab to have injured brains and caused this outcome. I believe sociopaths are multiplying to levels far above 5%. I hope I'm wrong.
I agree with your sentiment. My readings lead me to believe sociopaths are born(genetic) and cultural(wealthy family ties lead to tribal behavior and other tribal behavior). To an extreme, the old Mets vs the Yankees rivalry was sociopathic but a shared beer or coffee could have changed this through a love of the game. I do not think COVID created sociopaths by changing brains but I do think that it was a strong enough issue that individuals like yourself stood out against those who could not leave the sanctity of being adherent to the demands of the system. I lost friends by their being unable to see the emerging top-down control I saw. They called me crazy and were totally surprised when they lost jobs because they did not follow the woke dictates. We still no longer communicate. I discovered no common ground that I believed was tenuously there prior. Now, nothing and nothing will recover. They always thought differently. I had been unaware before and now that I am they are not part of my day.
A sociopath is made--yes, nurtured. A psychopath is born--yes, nature. Therapy doesn't work on a psychopath, but can bring about some changes in sociopaths. And, yes, 2 important developments with the mandates: 1. temperature taken at the pineal gland (forehead between the eyes) impacted the gland and the endocrine system 2. substances in the jab, adjuvants used etc. have impacted the anterior insular cortex (part of the frontal cortex). When empathy is lost, which is what happens with damage to these parts of the brain, that is the main issue with sociopaths. It was also one of the goals of Agenda 2030--a submissive, obedient, non-thinking/feeling public. I sure agree with what you're saying about the people no longer in your life because you were thinking and paying attention.
Go it. Agree. I tend to see psychopaths and sociopaths in the same genre with psychopaths the more dangerous. I am not a professional.
Thank you for the distinctions mode of development.
Exactly! When did you wake up to this fact? Seems a lot of people are still taking "hopium"
About 20yrs ago I read Cleckley's "Mask of Sanity", 1941. But in reality it has been a gradual process because while I could see plenty of examples, my own trusting nature and not wanting to be overly critical of others needed several hits with a 2x4 to become fully aware. I worked in NYC for a Wall Street firm. I saw senior management first hand and they were predators of the worst kind. I eventually moved to working remotely and finally retired still advising in my own fashion which is totally contrary to WAL Street advice. Sociopaths are very nasty people.
Wow...sounds like you could write a book about all this! What kind of consulting do you do now...financial?
Working on an investment app that will reflect the process I developed. The holding periods are in the range of 5-15yrs. Perhaps 12mos before it is released.
1) Identify better than avg manager talent. You look for success and honesty.
2) Buy shares when prices have a low corp valuation, i.e. buy when insiders buy shares
3) Buy shares when the economic indicators indicate a positive turn
4) Sell when consumer delinquency rates indicate financial system is topsy-turvey.
5) Rinse/repeat
Psychology is a secular Faux Science and advise you to actually study The Holy Bible. God the Creator is the only expert with 'Human Psychology' and anybody believing humans capable of knowing humans is arrogant which is the basis of all insanity and evil.
Psychology, which I've practiced for 35+ yrs is like a labyrinth with no exit. If you break human behaviour down into the simpliest of forms, belief in good and bad, you can explain everything. If you apply the Bible as the medicine, miracles do happen.
WOW...Impressed!!!
You lasted much longer than I.
Everybody thought I'd caught some kind of 'Mental Illness' when determining to leave the practice and go a different way...Especially after all the education, mentoring, internship...Practice.
Left almost two decades ago to follow the direction of Jesus Christ after reaching a knowing of how evil Psych as a 'Secular Faux-Science' was.
Found alternative training and worked in/with a Church Diocese.
FINALLY, ALL BECAME LOGICAL AND OF REASON WHEN BASED IN OUR LORD JESUS!!! All Glory and Honor to our Lord Jesus Christ...The real healer, physician, lover and just judge of the world. 💯🎯🙏🏻😊
I'm paraphrasing, but once read;
Psychology was created to make astrology believable.
BINGO!!! 🎯💯😊
Schools must stop teaching Marxism and start teaching critical thinking from a young age so future voters are smart voters. What just happened with Carney getting selected in Canada happened because the Liberal voters were caught up in fake ‘insta-patriotism’ drummed up by the media and Carney’s team with the premise that Canada was being threatened with huge Tariffs and being taken over by Trump to become the 51st State. In my mind, that was the best Trolling of Trudeau EVERRRR but our idiot Liberal voters have no critical thinking skills so they went ‘elbows up’ and voted in the WEF loving Globalist Carnage b/c he was positioned as the only person in Canada that could and would stand up to Trump. How’s that working, voters?
You are spot on. Recognize further that every Marxist, socialist and etc are sociopaths. That is, they do not recognize basic individual human rights vs institutional or system "rights". This is mentally defective from the rest of us. It is a problem that sociopathy makes up ~5% of the population and is either genetic or culturally directed i.e., "tribal thinking" or "hive-mind". In other words, if you grow up in a narrowly-defined wealthy family or religious community you have a tendency to see everyone as not part of your unique group and you view them as simply against "your team".
We need to truly take education to whole different level of precision that recognizes every individual. We have been taught more as if we were on a prescribed assembly line.
Saturday is the best day of the week thanks to amazing Substack posts from Elizabeth Nickson and Jeff Childers’ Coffee & Covid. I also subscribe to Substacks by Rod Dreher and James Howard Kunstler. All four folks bringing deep and invaluable insights and helping more and more people wake up and fight back against the Satanic insanity that’s been brought against us for the last 50-60+ years. Elizabeth, I’ve said this before and will say it again – you are a Canadian and North American hero and treasure . . . May God Bless you and your family.
I read Absurdistan, Dreher, and Kunstler myself. I invite you to give mine a try. I would welcome the thoughts of a fellow traveler. https://stephenkenny.substack.com/ It is the Great Awakening and has a micro perspective on the macro discussed by our favorites.
Agreed. Thank-you for the suggestion of Rod Dreher and James Howard Kunstler--I eagerly look forward to reading both of them. Can never get too much of this good stuff!
"...wispy beta-males and terrifying bullying women who have run us into the ditch, with wars and budgetary malfeasance. None of them must be allowed near power ever again."
I LOVE that!
First neuter them, then insure they are never allowed near a child again. This will help ensure there won't be another litter of them raised every 20 years to terrorize us.
Some of what you are saying is true but we haven’t talked yet about the “defense” budget here in the States, nor what is happening to all the money being “saved” by DOGE, nor why Starmer and Carney and Trump and all the “left” and “right” leaders all over the world, supposedly from different factions, all, to a man/woman, are supporting, openly, the ongoing extermination of the Palestinians…..there is something else going on here, that simply needs to be talked about.
I like to talk about quality of life when I “rate” a leader, society, culture, program, political party or nation, but my metrics aren’t proximity to a “good” heart doctor, or a “good” school or “median family income” and so on.
I look at things like this:
How likely am I to step in dog shit when I walk out of my house in the morning?
Is my car still there in front of my house, intact?
How many interactions will I have with the State each day?
What per centage of my time and money will be spent on dealing with fines, penalties, permits, Zoom meetings, and so on?
When you have positive answers to each of these (and you could pose many many more) questions, one’s quality of life is immeasurably improved. With that comes more free time. With free time, your quality of life improves, and the unknown potential of human creativity might be revealed.
Illegal aliens, Moslem “jihadists” and all the “others” that so many delight in pointing fingers at barely register when it comes to the effects on the quality of life for the average Americans, and, in the case of many (not all) of the illegals the fact they have is largely positive.
Are open borders an abomination? Absolutely! Are rape gangs in Sweden or the UK abhorrent to any decent human and worthy of being exterminated, immediately? Of course. But is getting rid of illegals (which will never happen, especially not under Trump) and banning Sharia law and all that nonsense doing anything to improve our quality of life? A hard, definite, fuck no!
What would improve it is an immediate end to ALL foreign aid, including Israel. A massive reduction in ALL government spending, including the “defense” department. The savings from those actions should be immediately redistributed to the people from whom it was taken. We should deport all criminal aliens and give others a clear, defined path to employment, possibly residence here, in situations where that makes sense. Pretending that most illegals are “taking our jobs” is such utter bullshit that it should be embarrassing to even bring it up.
We don’t need “growth”. We need stability. We need safe streets, whether through parenting or policing. We need a DRASTIC reduction in the size of ALL government, whether local, state or federal, whether run by “populists” or globalists. We need a streamlining of the court system where cases are adjudicated in days or weeks,, possibly sometimes months, but never more than that. We need to get rid of immunity from prosecution for criminals who hide behind corporate structures to stay free from the consequences of their actions. I could go on and on for pages and pages.
The relevant point in all of this is that, if you examine Trump’s actions through one or more of these lenses, you see very little, or no positive movement. He is, at best, tinkering around the edges. He is clearly beholden to Zionist blackmail….for whatever reason. His biggest and best contribution to the planet right now is his assertion that “crises” can usually be solved quickly, where there is a will. Every small business has always known that. We just don’t have a voice.
So yeah, RFK at HHS is a big win, with better things yet to come. Mike Walz, Rubio, Pam Bondi, all of his economic advisors: as bad as anyone Biden ever had. Trump’s net effect on quality of life for small businesses, families, the people who actually make this fucking function is minimal, with some actions pointing in the negative direction and several pointing in the positive.
The globalists aren’t done or gone: Trump is one of them And surrounded by them. As of now, one faction seems to have supplanted the other.
I’m praying for help, divine help, because we ain’t getting it from the Republican Party here in America. And the Democrats are so compromised with pure evil that they are irrelevant to a positive future.
The condition we are in didn’t happen in a day, or even six months. Trump has been in office not quite six months. We, of the TV generations, have no patience. This bill passed Thursday and signed yesterday, was a reconciliation, aka, budget bill. It could not do all we need done, per the restrictions on that kind of legislation. There is much to be still done. I believe it will get done in the coming months. We need to clean voter rolls and secure the mid term elections. People were elected due to late voting, illegals voting, and fake ballots, among many other fraudulent tricks. I used to live in WA, and that state is very skilled in all the varied ways of voter fraud. I do believe the winds have shifted. We are truly in the last gasps of the Fourth Turning. I plan to live long enough to enjoy the entire span of the First Turning of a new cycle. I was born in the First Turning but came of age in our current cycle’s Second Turning. My eyes were opened in 2016 to the corruption and once seen it cannot be unseen. I want to leave this planet with the world in a more peaceful place than it has been for most of my lifetime.
We need to understand that you don't just step out of quicksand, especially when you are neck deep in it, like western society has been for the last 30 years or more.
Understood, and fair enough. My point is that you don’t make things worse by wading deeper and then claiming “we were already stuck”. You stop the bleeding first, and then heal the wound, and then, when things are stabilized, you start with the finger pointing.
Large increases in “defense” spending, revocation of visas and expulsions of immigrants more based on their views on the Middle East than criminal activity, expanded involvement in overseas conflicts (whatever the merits may or may not be), an Israel exception to “America First”, a Pentagon exception to DOGE, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of dollars supposedly being “saved” but NO accounting as to where that “saved” money is going to, ZERO help for small businesses, only help for mega corporations, ZERO help for families…..this isn’t just “it takes a long time to turn the ship around”, but rather, “we are going to stay the course, but bob and weave a bit to distract the plebes”.
You make excellent points on both sides. I'm trying to decide if you are more liberal than patriot 🤔 you lose me when you defend Palestinians. Gaza has been a hot bed for terrorists forever..its the most beautiful part of Israel and it's regularly blow to smithereens. The "Palestinians " cry victim but they defend their HAMAS leaders every turn. There is a reason why no other country wants to take them as refugees. Other than that, I agree US dollars should stay in US. Once the gravy train is cut off, much of the world will be forced to clean up their own acts. Anyway.. many good points.
And all the aid they received over the years squandered for terrorist activities and not to improve citizens’ lives. They could easily have become as prosperous as the rest of Israel. I’d say this is similar to many African countries.
No, Gaza couldn’t become wealthy because their access to resources was 100% controlled and limited by Israel. But with what little they could scrounge together they built hospitals and universities, and raised 1/3 of the food they ate on the very limited land they were allowed to farm. If you lived in a place completely surrounded by barbed wire, watch towers and gunboats, you just might lash out, too. I condemn violence, but for God’s sake, if we don’t understand why it happens we will never break the cycle.
Don't know what you have been reading Ron . . . but in 2005 when the Israelis left Gaza, pulled out families that had lived there for generations and left Farms, Greenhouses, Business & Homes . . . the Gazans DESTROYED IT ALL . . .
Then they started firing rockets and digging tunnels. They built more Terror Tunnels than the London Underground . . . did you know?
Israel merely inspected incoming cargo for weapons and other contraband.
The Hamas leaders are in Turkey today with 13 BILLION in their bank accounts.
They squandered Billions donated by the World . . . and taught their Children to Hate and strapped bombs on them. Bomber families got a nice Pension from Hamas.
Do you know who built the highest Border Fence? Egypt !
Dale, if you were confined to a concentration camp where access to everything from food to building materials to electricity was dependent on the whims of your camp guards, I suspect you would lash out in any way you could. Israel restricted food, water, and energy for years before 10/7. Then they would periodically "mow the lawn" by bombing infrastructure. They would shoot farmers working the fields and attack fishing boats inside Gaza's waters. How long would you remain stoic in those circumstances?
When did you ever read about a Concentration Camp that build over 200 miles of Concrete Tunnels with Billions of $$$s supplied by Oil States, UN & Euro govts. ? ? ?
The Citizens of Gaza ELECTED Hamas . . . did you know?
90% of them supported Hamas right up to Oct 7 . . . and many still do.
The "Bombing" all came from Gaza . . . they stored weapons in homes, hospitals & schools.
The Euros felt sorry for them and built them a water system . . . they pulled up the pipes to make Rockets to fire into Israel.
The were NO Guards, unless they were Hamas . . . they brought in Weapons from Egypt and by sea when they could. Funded, Trained and Sponsored by IRAN. They had a tunnel into Egypt that you could drive a Hummer through. Did you know?
They sent Suicide bombers into Israel . . . sometimes children.
Mothers wished they had more children to offer, as they got their Pension Cheque from Hamas.
The Govt before Netanyahu gave 1000s of Gazans Work Permits to Work in Israel . . . many of them stayed behind to create the breach of the security on Oct. 7. They found hand drawn diagrams of the towns and villages along the border where they struck.
You are repeating absolute nonsense . . . where did you get that nonsense . . . listening to Al Jazera propaganda ?
The Hamas leaders live like Kings in Turkey, they moved from Qatar when Trump went to visit. They have 13 Billion in their bank accounts.
Like ole Arafat's wife, who was left with only 3 Billion when the Egyption PLO Terrorist died. Obviously lucrative business.
Wow 😮
Can you explain how the hospitals became operating platforms for HAMAS terrorist attacks, storage centres of stolen foreign aid intended for the People? And how come so many hospital staff were engaged in HAMAS terrorist activities?
In my view, looking objectively, the Palestinians, Gazians, HAMAS are no better than Israel. Israel protects pedophiles, and that tells me everything I need to know about Israel, although I did do a deep dive to learn what they think about me, since I am white and they hate whites.
If we cut off ALL dollars to the ME, Israel and Egypt as well, they, too would be forced to clean up their act. It’s good to have a perpetual enemy, or be a perpetual victim, to justify seeking handouts, whether in the ME or urban America.
My point is that America first has to mean “American First”. There can’t be an Israel exception because Moslem are bad guys. Every single American is free to spend his or her treasure and blood defending whatever they wish to do, just leave the rest of us out of it. Not mostly out of it, OUT of it.
The Pentagon needs to be audited, and have its wasteful budget drastically reduced. I have heard no signs of that even being discussed, much less becoming a reality. Appropriated spending apparently has just been INCREASED in the BBB….no audit. We, the people, will never know what happened to trillions of dollars, nor why Epstein was protected for so long until he wasn’t, nor why the “tax breaks” go exclusively to the wealthy, why stifling business regulations are removed only for the corporations, and so on. So forgive me for not being so enthusiastic about Trump 2.0. I see Rubio, Bondi, Hesgeth et al in powerful positions. I see Gabbard’s transformation into Colin Powell. The only positives I see/saw were RFK and Musk, and now Musk is banished from Mar-a-Lago…..who wudda thunk?
And to help clear up the confusion, I’m Christian, French and Italian background, born into the Democratic Party, as all Catholic immigrants were back in the day. My father left first, followed by the rest of the family. We ALL voted Trump in 2024, not because we thought he was a savior, but because he offered the (slim) possibility of survival, and was better than the wackos the Dems were shoving down our throats.
And yes, I’m a patriot. America first, no Israel exception. Shrink the government, n9 exceptions. USMC infantry, as was my dear brother in law. My mother grew up under Nazi occupation in northern France, and was a highly decorated member of the French Resistance. She also held rank in the American Army, and was granted citizenship in America by grateful American authorities after the war. She was deeply grateful herself to be able to live free from the internecine European conflicts that destroyed so much, and so many. I take my cues from her, and from my father, also the son of (poor, legal) Italian immigrants. Every single one of us served in the military. Every single one of us is or was incredibly grateful for the opportunity America offered us. Every single one of us would willingly die to defend our families, our freedoms, our neighbors. And NONE of us is interested in dying to protect Israel, Wall Street, Big Pharma, Big Ag, or Big Anything.
No one is "Dying" to protect Israel but Israelis . . .
One might ask how Tiny Israel has survived for 77 years amongst the 100s of Millions of J*w hating muslims? It's in their Book man . . . I suspect you have never read it.
They have survived because they are protected by the Hand of God . . . read Zechariah chapters 8 - 14 . . . being fulfilled today.
When Jesus returns he will Judge the nations . . .
Joel 3:2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.
Israel has survived because it is, by far, the largest recipient of welfare, economic and military largesse, in the world. What it receives makes the USAID scandal look like lemonade stand money.
Research the USS LIberty. Too many of our military already have died for the slimeball Zionist, anti-Christian state.
The point of my comment, which has escaped your grasp apparently, is that I disagree with Ms. Nickson’s cheerleading for Trump, at this point. He has broken some fundamental promises, promises that were foundational to the MAGA platform, and, without which, there ain’t no MAGA. Unprovoked attacks on Iran, failure to even pretend to audit the Pentagon, increased spending for the Pentagon, and what should be humiliating groveling in front of Netanyahu aren’t MAGA.
You, and all the shills for the Zionist genocide are more than free to strap up and fight for your God, and send your treasure over there. Your choice. Trump promised he would not do that, yet, in his first 6 months, he is stumbling over himself to get us involved in the MEi nternal conflicts, and shoveling our money over there. Nothing has changed in our ME policy vis a vis Biden. Same old shit, same old performance theater.
Unprovoked Attacks on Iran ? ? ?
Iran has attacked US forces over 80 times . . . are YOU not aware?
You drag up a 1967 Ship incident to bash Israel . . . but ignore the Marine Baracks Bombing in Lebanon instigated by IRAN, along with numerous attacks on US forces over the decades.
Iran also created, trained and armed Terror Proxies, Hamas, Hezbola & Houthis.
The Mullahs have been shouting Death to America & Israel for 40 years . . . have you been listening? Likely only a few weeks from a Nuke Device and their Missiles could already reach Europe and soon the USA.
If you knew anything about Shia Islam, which you don't . . . you would know that the Mullahs would be quite fine dying for their cause, just like the Gazans. Their reward is in heaven. Shia also believe if they start a global conflict it will release the 12th Imam who will conquor the world for Islam and create a Global Califat.
Your understanding of the ME is obviously very low . . . they want the Jews out because they are on previously Islam Occupied land.
You are obviously a Jew hater, long history of Jew hate in the Roman Church. God is going to deal with the Nations based on how they treat tiny Israel . . .
When Jesus returns he will sit on King David's Throne in the Temple in Jerusalem . . . according to the scriptures.
Trump is doing a Great Job because he "Gets It" . . .
Don't anybody worry about the Palestinians. They won't be exterminated because they are all in Canada. And they brought HAMAS and the Iranian regime with them.
Yes, we've let them in. The fact that other Arabic speaking nations won't have them, despite offering sanctuary in the past seems to be a mute point. Countries kick them out because of their ingratitude and intention to convert or kill the native citizens. They don't assimilate; have no intention of ever doing that. Their intention is to spread Islam at all costs.
We have a fair few in the UK. I think Australia has the same problem.
Couldn't be that Canada, the UK and Australia have the same monarch, could it?
Canada hasn't had a monarch since 1931. The British Parliament passed the Statute of Westminster, 1931 and released all provinces (decolonized all provinces).
Because Queen E II was an imposter and actually swore allegiance to the Catholic Pope during her 'coronation' of 1953, in 1957 during her first televised speech she stated clearly she didn't make laws or assent to any.
From 1931 the provinces of Canada were sovereign nation-states, free to install a proper republic-style government (where decision-makers and judges, etc are elected) with a Constitution written by the People for the People and ratified by the People. We are actually 10 sovereign States, but don't act like it.
In addition, there never was a signing of the British North America Act in 1867 because the-then 3 provinces that existed rejected all Dominion and wanted their sovereign republics (just as the US States each had).
None of this is secret ... it was all exposed in the House of Commons in Ottawa by an MP Walter Kuhl, who said that the government was failing to do it's duty to let the population know.
But the imposter feds would all be out of work and no longer have access to free money if they were to announce the true nation-state status of the former provinces.
So why can't we get free of the corporations masquerading as 'goverment'?
Because alternative media want to give press to no one but those who wish to maintain and protect the imposter corporate system, preventing the public from ever learning our true status as 10 nation-states entitled to excercise their own rights to a State and State Constitution that protects individual rights and seriously limits government power and authority.
Actually, alternative media in Canada is a bigger disappointment than legacy media, as we have always known that legacy media is a corporate government-funded state propaganda and psy op operation.
Alternative media in Canada is primarily controlled opposition. They usually critique policy and appear to criticize the imposter government, but hell will freeze over before they ever look into whether the imposter government is even legitimate. The money is in dropping the same names in their articles as the imposter government wants to be kept in the spotlight.
Not once have I heard or seen a single podcast, video or article that says 'hey wait folks, it looks like it's all a massive fraud and the true status of every former province is a sovereign nation state'. Not a single one.
Hi Grace.
Thank you for your reply. I am an Englishman at 72yo and thought very little could shock me these days, but your post has knocked me for six, especially as King Charles (not my King) has just made a visit to back up that cretin Carney over Trumps sanctions.
It had raised questions about my delusions. Is Canada still part of the British Commonwealth? Or more importantly, why are you nut jobs in power acting in sync with our nut jobs in power? Letting in the whole world etc.
They say you learn something new every day, I never in my wildest imagination thought that 'something. would be as big as this. I will admit to not having an interest in history until later in life, but I can't get past why I didn't know something so monumental like this.
Yours thankfully and dumbfoundedly.
You didn't get to know something like this because the corporate government funds all sorts of new 'news' agencies and special interest groups that keep us distracted and believing what they want us to believe. The education system is run by those 'selected' by the corporate government.
I am so sick of alternative media that sometimes I think I'll just go back to legacy media where they don't hide that they are corrupt.
Gazans would have had a much easier ride if they didn't attack Israeli Citizens killing over 1200 and taking over 250 + Prisoners.
Even today as Hamas is being descimated they won't release 50 some captives, many who are already dead.
So what motivates them?
Same thing that motivates the rapists in Europe, the muslim welfare queens in Britain and the insane Mullahs in Iran. Or the demonstrators in our universities and in New York & Dearborn. They believe their Religion is going to Take Over the World for alla . . .
You have no friggin clue what damage is being done in Europe & the USA today by these Cultists.
When you Cut Costs Today . . . you don't see the Savings till Next Year . . . Next year's Budget should be a step in the right direction . . .
The Illegals are on the way out . . . it is going to take YEARS . . . but they need to keep leaving . . . maybe more incentives ?
Israel is one of the Tech Giants on the planet today . . . the Only Democracy in the ME and have worked with the US on many, many Tech, Military & Science venues.
Trump has been in power for a little over 5 months . . . did you expect EVERYTHING to be fixed by today?
Whose "Devine" help were you hoping to tap into? The Pope or maybe Baal ?
You can’t reason with the unreasonable.
History didn’t begin on October 7. When people have nothing to lose, they lose it. Read your history.
You're correct, it didn't start on October 7.
You have to go back centuries, but for a more modern take, look to Kuwait, Egypt, Jordon and Lebanon to understand why no other Muslim country, other than Iran, has come the Gaza's aid.
Iran only helped because Hamas, along with Hezbollah, are Iran's proxies.
There's a very old but true saying. If the Muslims laid down their weapons, there would be peace in the Middle East. If Israel laid down their weapons, there would be slaughter and total annihilation of the Jews.
Just to clarify my position on this. After what I have watched, If I were in charge of Israel on October 7th, Gaza would have been a glass sheet by October 8th.
You are right Joe . . . the islamic savages have been killing J*ws since the 7th Century . . . It's ALL in their Book, just following the lead of their Prophet.
What these notables thought of the Religion of Pieces . . . .
“a state of permanent hostility” — Karl Marx
“Islam’s world-view is very similar to ours” — Heinrich Himmler
“…undistinguishing and exterminating war… against all the rest of mankind” — John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the United States
“…unspiritual, concerned to win the empire of the world” – Bertrand Russell
“…the enemies of civilization” — Theodore Roosevelt
Only sympathizer was the "fascist" . . . of course the Mufti of Jerusalem was an ally and actually went to Berlin in the 40s.
Of course the history of the Roman Church is not much better . . .
History is your friend Joe . . . we are watching Islamists taking over countries in Europe today . . . some say Europe will be islamic in 50 years.
"Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world."
Winstone Churchill
And he said that 100 years ago . . .
And still as/even more relevant today.
Hope you don't mind, I have copied your quotes for future debates.
Of course, Hamas deserves no blame whatsoever for what the IDF is doing, right? Because Hamas didn't take that beautiful strip of land, Gaza, and refuse to do anything productive with it, did they?
The twenty years of Gazans since the Israelis left in 2005 could have realized that Israel wasn't going anywhere. They could have gone straight. They could, as many have pointed out, have turned Gaza into an Arab Monte Carlo. Investors from all over the world would have been interested in putting money into such a project when they came to believe the Gazans were serious. Today, Gaza could be a prosperous territory, middle class, with the thousands of young men whom their elders trained to be murderous psychopaths instead having been trained for careers in the thousands of jobs such a resort always has to offer. Think how many families will never be, how much happiness will never be enjoyed.
The Jews of Europe straggled into the Protectorate in the couple of years after the defeat of the Nazi genocidalists. In approximately the same amount of time which elapsed between the Israelis' having left Gaza in 2005 and October 7th, 2023, the Israelis managed to build a Second World nation with a First World military. For a half century, Israel has been a First World nation, as well. Militarily, Israel is our most reliable ally in the world.
It is VILE, nothing less, for you to speak of the Israelis desperate effort to save their nation and their lives as "genocide." You don't fool me for a moment. In my opinion you're a Nazi.
Agree
. Zionist actions, and words, their words, their actions, fit the literal, textbook definition of genocide. You seem to be fine with that, and so be it, but at least use a dictionary before condemning me as “vile” for using a word, correctly
Is it genocidal to defend your country against attackers. Were the Israelis supposed to do nothing after October 7th? Were we trying to commit genocide when we firebombed Germany and Japan during World War II, and when we dropped nuclear bombs on Japan? Or had we decided - justifiably, in view of continued German and Japanese resistance after the firebombings, and continued Japanese resistance after Hiroshima - that we needed to do those terrible things to destroy the enemies' malignant wills to go on fighting?
Who made Hamas put their entire military infrastructure in the middle of the civilian population? Any honest assessment of this has to conclude that they did it to try to arouse the sympathies of the unthinking and the already prejudiced when the Israelis struck back.
Maybe you're among the former, and if so, I apologize.
Genocide is the planned, concerted attempt to destroy a particular group of people. First, there has never in the history of the world been a nation of Palestine. Had you known that? Palestine is a region, and Israel is a part of it, but there has never been a nation named "Palestine." "Palestine" and "Palestinians" were brilliant propaganda constructions of Yasir Arafat's PLO in the 1960s, concocted to persuade people ignorant of history that a great injustice was being perpetuated.
Second, if the Israelis are trying to commit genocide against the Gazan population, they're terribly incompetent at it. Go to First Things, and read Gerald McDermott's article, "Genocide in Gaza?"
Your comment should not be longer than the original essay. Elizabeth is brilliant, strengthens my resolve, and an absolute joy to read. Your writing is an Adderall induced whiny bitch session clinging the coattails of greatness. You lost me in two sentences and putting any reader foolish enough to read more in a coma. Boo on you!
And good morning to you my friend.
I happen to think Elizabeth’s writing is brilliant as well, which is why I’m a subscriber. I agree with her on many things, but nor her unchecked enthusiasm for everything the Trumpers are doing. I simply point out the realities of life aren’t (yet?) much different than with Biden or anyone else, that we are increasing the federal budget, not slashing it, pumping weapons and treasure into overseas conflicts that we have no skin in and weren’t part of the MAGA platform, and were becoming openly subservient to the Zionist lunatics who are determined to start wars wherever they can and take America with them.
So no Adderal my friend, just facts
These are my thoughts on the repubs.
We’ve got a massive war in this country that started in 2020. 48% of Dems have and 17% of repubs have dual citizenship.
The GOP are equivalent to the self loathing Anglo. Weakness, cowardice, greed, deceit, and betrayal describe what they stand for. They don’t respect their constituents, they suck Donkey cock then have the nerve to tell us how evil democrats are. Root them out! They have no shame. Our nation is morally bankrupt and I’m sad to say there aren’t enough good men left with the courage and tenacity to wage war.
In all fairness to Trump. He’s a populist.
Amen Brother, I am right there with you on All Of IT!!!!
"what is happening to all the money being “saved” by DOGE," ? ? ?
So Joe . . . if you made your last Car Payment today . . . how much money would you have because you no longer have to make a Car Payment? Nothing . . .
Many of the 1000s of laid off employees are being paid till October or so . . . yes!
Economics can be your friend man . . . if you paid $500 a month for the car, you would not have the $6000 you saved till next JULY . . . correct !
I have to vigorously disagree with you , getting rid of illegal immigrants with drastically improve our quality of life, especially relative to where one lives. They are stealing our money, ransacking our cites with their riots, raping and killing, and taking up valuable time that Trump could be using otherwise to our advantage as he fights the radical judicial to get rid of people that shouldn’t be here in the first place. It’s a deliberate hijacking of his agenda.
For the record, I am completely against illegal immigration.
I am extremely disappointed in the Trump administration because, apart from a few high profile, raids and arrest, the bulk of the immigration enforcement efforts have been against people who criticize Israel.
I am all for getting rid of the criminals the rapist and all of them and permanently banning them from America with no exceptions.
As for the rest of them who are here illegally, but apart from that largely following the laws, I would make it quick and easy for them to be here temporarily. They could pay a fine of $10,000 or so or whatever makes sense, return to their home country for processing, and then be allowed in as workers as long as they checked in regularly. They should be obliged to get their own health insurance and should never be eligible for government programs. They should be able to come and go as they want, but there should not be a path to citizenship just because they’ve been here for a while already.
My biggest overall complaint about the Trump administration is the foreign wars. I am a marine veteran and we have dozens of military in my family. We all voted for Trump, and one of the main reasons we voted for him was because we are sick of the wars. We believe in America first, not Israel first.
While I remain hopeful, that something can be salvaged from his administration, the nonsense that he is involving us in the Middle East, combined with his flip-flopping on the Epstein case, leaves me rather forlorn and hopeless.
I think Trump’s attacks on Bannon and Tucker, Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard and his insane fixation on getting rid of Massie from the House of Representatives are all signs that he is under someone else’s control at this point for whatever reason.
I hope and pray he goes back to his platform that he ran on and that we resume the course towards America first
Wow 😮
I think you have pinpointed Debbie Wasserman Schultz' vibe. Ghoul. I would add unscrupulous as her adjective. Yet the Democrats "somehow" keep electing her even after she was shown to have rigged a primary as a favor to Hillary and so was forced to resign as DNC chair. And she continued to employ a family of Pakistani spies in her Congressional office although they were under investigation for bank fraud. Right up to the minute they tried to flee the country. Yet she is still in Congress. They really have no shame. Her time has arrived.
It is 4:30 AM and I am laughing out loud with the image of DW Shultz gasping like a trout on the side of a pond in disbelief. And also your mom sending you lists of supplements to take…. That was my grandmother in a nutshell. Every time I barbecue I hear her admonishment of “ carcinogenic” etc. It is fun to be winning .
That made laugh as well!
What a great article and the feeling of HOPE that runs right through it! I kept looking for one word that to me sums up the current times and allows us to truly enjoy ourselves as we shrug off the last 15 years of Turdeau, Pope Francis, Wuhan Flu, WEF, Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe etc. and that is one of the only pronounceable German words I know. Drum roll please and some Donnie T's ALL CAPs -
SCHADENFREUDE!
Can't wait to start seeing some arrests, charges, prosecutions, convictions and serious PRISON time for what these sociopaths did to us for decades, apparently without a whisper of conscience about it.
I agree Fred! I can feel the hope in the pit of my stomach. Love Elizabeth!
canada is set up for a massive financial crisis, US tariffs or not.
Thanks Elizabeth, I especially enjoyed the John Rich clip. A couple things I’m concerned about are Palantir, I have yet to figure out this Thiel character, and the report that Warren Buffet gave 60 billion to the Gates Foundation. Is there an honest investment anywhere? Or is it only the devil class who can make money?
Excellent! 👏👏👏I’ve been smiling from ear to ear since November. Watching the elites from both parties squirm is such delightful entertainment.Let’s get our house in order and then help western Canada become healthy again!
Wow! You are a breath of fresh air! Thank you for your clear and concise summary of where we are in the world. I am believing that righteousness and truth will OVERCOME the darkness.
Thank you Elizabeth. I get about 100 emails a day and I always read your post first. So uplifting. I'm sure that the information you share helps those brutalized by the last 4 years to keep going another day. Thank you for the hope.
"Frankly I don’t care about anything but this. Economic growth."
Exactly. In America at least, we had the highest purchasing power of our lives in Dec. 2019. Then our 'heroes' unleashed their Chinese paymasters' flu virus and kicked Trump out of orifice.
And be certain that, when they believe their moment has come, they will try again.
Yep, communism never dies as long as they can take your money from you.
Glad you're feeling optimistic but only when a lot of politicians and bureaucrats start being put in jail will I be convinced that progress is being made.

Democracy is an illusion and your vote doesn't matter. Even if a political party was made up of completely altruistic politicians they wouldn't be able to make any headway against the Blob. All Government needs to go. At all levels!
You keep missing the biggest drain on the USA's wealth, israel and the military. Regarding the recent attack on Iran you don't seem to know anything about it. It certainly was a sight to behold when the Iranian hypersonics were launched in retaliation, and could be seen in their multitudes streaming through the night skies of Occupied Palestine. Maybe one day the Palestinians will also have the freedom that you and I both cherish.
That can only happen if they give Hamas and the rest, the boot. That’s what you should be working towards.
Hamas is a creation of israel
Hamas is a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood . . . Obama's friends.
Gazans are descendants of migrant workers who came to Judea Samaria from the late 19th to early 20th Century. They left the region months before the UN declared Israel a State in May 1948 . . .
The Prophet Isaiah said "can a Country be born in a day" . . .
Their cousins in neighboring Arab countries promised to drive the J*ws into the Sea and they could come back for the spoils.
Those same Arab Countries expelled over 700,000 J*ws with whatever they could carry . . . are they still living on a Beach somewhere 70 years later?
No Gazan EVER lived in Israel . . .
But they were kept as a Political Statement . . .
"The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity." - Zahir Muhse’in, PLO Executive Committee, March 31, 1977
"You should attack every Jew possible in all the world and kill them." - Hamas leader Fathi Hamad, 2019
“Islam’s world-view is very similar to ours” — Heinrich Himmler
All lies. There never was any state called israel before the Nakba of 1948 when through heinous treachery against their hosts in Palestine the zionist jews attacked their neighbors and violently with much bloodshed expelled over 700,000 people to adjoining countries.
If you really want to get informed . . . look up Ottoman Census from the early 1900s . . . J*ws and Christians made up the majority of the population of Jerusalem.
J*ws lived continually in Jerusalem for 4,000 years . . .
Saladin founded the Ayyubid dynasty a Kurd . . .
Saladin liked the J*ws in the 11th century and encouraged them to stay.
Hosts? You are spouting nonsense man . . .
The Arab countries attacked little Israel on the 16th of May after the UN declared them a country.
None of the Gazans EVER lived in Israel . . .
But the Arab countries did expel over 700,000 J*ws minus their possessions of course. Are they on a Beach somewhere today?
Why are you spelling Jews like that? Quit it!
You're one Confused Dude man . . .
Out of the British Mandate they also created in the 1940s Lebanon, Syria and Iraq, plus Jordan as a State for the Arabs.
No one complained . . . did Jordan exist before?
There is plenty of evidence that the State of Israel existed . . . in fact today you can take a journey through history just with the Excavations going on . . . walk where King David walked and explore the Pool and the route to the 2nd Temple.
Many artifacts connected to the J*ws . . . sadly not ONE connected to the Islamists !
You are historically illiterate.
"By deception shall thou do war." Motto of the Mossad
Rodney, thank you for taking the time to post that important information.

ALL of Israel's wars were defensive . . .
In 1967 the Arab Countries had the best equipment the Soviets could supply . . . vastly outnumbered the Israelis were almost to Cairo when the Soviets called for a ceasefire. Then they did a repeat in 73 I believe and lost again.
Iran spent decades creating a "Ring of Fire" around tiny Israel. Hamas, Hezbola, the regime in Syria and the Houthis were all Financed, Equipped and Trained by Iran. With the help of Obama & Biden BILLIONS I might add.
The Hamas Charter even tells us their intentions . . .
"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it" - Hamas Charter
"You should attack every Jew possible in all the world and kill them." - Hamas leader Fathi Hamad, 2019
Is Palestine a legitimate state?
The International Criminal Court (ICC) answered this question, and said no." - The International Criminal Court [2012]
Islam is batting ZERO these days, seems alla just can't get it done . . . perhaps everything about islam is a fraud.
Interesting video "The Truth About Islam's Origins - Jay Smith"
Search that title on YouTube . . .
"If my sons did not want war, there would be none." Gutle Schapner, wife of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, mother of his 5 sons.
I prefer the Cliff Notes version of history. Looks to me like the family tradition is being kept up.
So you know NOTHING about Islam I suspect . . .
Europe warred for Centuries, much of it caused by the Roman Church to keep Kings & Rulers in line . . . and contributing to the cause.
The Roman Church also blamed Jews for killing Christ, the sponsored many Progroms over the centuries. The Crusades killed 1000s of Jews wherever they found them back in the day . . . Real Christians were in similar danger from the Popes, read "Foxes Book of Martyrs".
Banking was one of the few areas that the Euros in the Middle Ages allowed the Jews to work at . . . seems they were just as stupid than as now. Today Europe is overrun by Millions of Islamists, who will likely take over in the next 50 years or less.
Put down the Protocols man . . . it was all made up . . .
Biggest drain on USA wealth . . . was Iran. Both Obama & Biden sent them untold BILLIONS. Which funded Iran and her Proxies, Hamas, Hezbola, & Houthis.
Last October Iran fired 100s of Missiles into Israel . . . their defence system knocked most of them down. But Iran did attack first.
Israeli technology made the F-35 into a lethal weapon, they have leading edge technology and contribute much to the USA.
Do you know anything about Shia Islam? I suspect NO . . . the Iranian Mullahs have funded terror all over the ME.
What's a "Palestinian" ? Arafat, the Egyptian PLO leader, invented the Flag and the entire Palestinian narrative . . .
The Gazans are descendants of parents & grandparents who came from surrounding countries for Jobs in the late 19 & early 20th centuries. None of them ever lived in Israel.
The Gazans were left to their own devices in 2005, the day after the IDF pulled out, immediately the began firing rockets into Israel. They built more terror tunnels than the London Underground. Taught their children to hate and strapped bombs on them, then got an Hamas Pension. Your kind of people . . . . lol
Lebanon was once a Catholic Christian country, but in the 70s & 80s were taken over by the same clowns. Now Hezbola has been smashed thanks to the IDF and the Lebanese seem to have their country back.
Paying attention to Universities in Canada & USA? Radicals taking over . . .
To stupid for words, this idiot is so in love with a false narrative that any thing contrary to it causes the Dude to go running for a bottle of Aspirin.
I tell you the Truth with evidence of same . . . and you babble like a child . . .
You have no idea what you are talking about Rodney . . . but obviously don't like the Jews, so you repeat Hamas Propaganda . . .
There has NEVER been a Country called Palestine in the History of the Planet.
There has NEVER been a People till Arafat named them in 1967 . . .
Palestina was named by the Romans in 135 AD to insult the Jews . . . no different from "The Prairies" in Canada . . .
The Gazans are all descendants of folks who came from surrounding countries for work on the Farms created by Jews since 1890.
Walid Shoebat tells the story, he grew up with them and they all knew where they came from back in the 40s.

"This modern anti-Israeli exterminatory wave is the prolongation of the Euro-Arab anti-Zionist Nazi alliance that produced from the 1920s the anti-Jewish hatred that generated the Shoah. It continues today, carried over by the Eurabian ideology. However as the European states support for murderous anti-Israeli jihadist ideology grows stronger, the more these states are destroyed by it."
