Thank you for the hope. It is in short supply these days. We need our own Milei and Bukele, but for now Trump will have to do. What I most appreciate is your ability to make sense of the numbers, a skill I do not have. IF (and this is a big if) we can keep the desperate Left from manipulating this year's election, Western Civilization may have a future.

40 years ago, I started to have meeting in DC for environmental issues. At that time EPA had a very small offices and small staff. By the end of my career, EPA offices and staff grew dramatically. EPA IN ITS HISTORY HAVE DONE PRACTICALLY NOTHING TO IMPROVE LIFE.Basically, paper shuffling bureaucracy on steroids.

Thanks Elizabeth! The dems have created a monster in their media machines and what baffles me is the lack of critical thinking on the left that falls for their hysteria. Soccer moms and legacy family dems refuse to see the gaslighting and swallow the Trump derangement whole. And they watch the View to get “perspective “. I pray Trump landslides to victory and takes page from Millie and schlongs these bastards into oblivion.

Another Biden term and we will have those Zimbabwe "one billion dollar" bills in the United States. They'll have a picture of Biden looking confused and will be called "Bidenbucks." The "one billion dollar" Bidenbuck will buy a hamburger (if they still allow beef).

At this rate, unless things change soon, we'll be referred to as the United States of Zimbabwe.

Both the Republicans and Democrats are controlled by the same group of oligarchs. The two parties work as a “tag team” to slowly lead the country into fascism. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have been friends for many years. Why did he suddenly—and so casually—abandon his campaign promise to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate her? Frank Zappa said it best: “Politics is the entertainment division of the military industrial complex.”

That may or may not be true about Hillary and Trump. That is not something I’m in a position to know and my guess is you aren’t either. What I do know is that life was 100X better under Trump. Low inflation, no new wars and the beginning of a rational, sane withdrawal from Afghanistan, mostly Originalist judges appointed to the Supreme Court and we’re now beginning to see the fruits of his choices (not all good, but some good decisions coming out), illegal immigration mostly in check and construction of the wall, low unemployment, no attempt to change Title IX to allow men/boys to usurp female rights and spaces, no climate change insanity, and less easy for women to get late term abortions.

Where I disagree with Elizabeth somewhat is I believe, in their desperation to cling to power, it is within the realm of possibility that we will see some attempt to derail Trump and/or even postpone the election via WWIII, terrorist attack(s) on the US, or another plandemic (the bird flu is getting a lot of press lately). I think they think people are just that stupid and, unfortunately, there are many stupid, blind people out there. I have been appalled at the number of people who, even after the curtain has ben pulled back exposing Biden’s cognitive incompetence, when it should have been obvious to anyone since the last election that something was dreadfully wrong, they are still “Ridin’ with Biden”. Sane people that cared anything about the country would not want it in the hands of a dementia patient.

Agree and don’t care that he was friends with the Clintons. They all traveled in the same circles. It’s actions that matter not talk and photo ops.

Well said Not That "Karen". I agree with all you said. Must be because we are the real Karens, Karins, Carons, Karyns......! Not the contrived, implied description for a crazy person that's a slur. I'm especially grateful that Elizabeth is smart enough not to parrot that use for our name. At the beginning she said "........ to scare under-educated suburban soccer moms and ancillary hysterics” (very neutral, generic, accurate) instead of “to scare the Karens”. I think Lori Lightfoot started it all. I look forward to reading Elizabeth. She's a fighter and doesn't apologize for her reporting. A gift. So grateful. thanks, Karin B!

We need a drastic revamping, razing of our bureaucracy and deep state

Milei and Bukele have an advantage that is denied to a Trump, a Le Pen, a Farage: They can act virtually as dictators, one-man change engines nearly unrestricted by parliaments or congresses or court systems. Neither of them needs to combat legions of well-funded predatory progressive lawyers in the process of cleaning house.

For that simple reason, I am optimistic but not convinced that there is positive change coming - soon - to the US or the UK or the EU.

I have two comments.

1.) I have not read the Heritage Foundation's Project 25 report. I am immediately suspicious of anything endorsed or produced by the Heritage Foundation. I view it as only one more organization dedicated to gaining and keeping power by appealing to political preference, regardless as to the abuse it causes to individual human rights.

Nevertheless, I found it somewhat amusing that "Trump’s team immediately distanced itself from Project 25", especially in light of this article dredged up from the far-distant past of 2018, in which it is stated that then-president Trump actually supported and endorsed most (70%, at least) of the Heritage Foundation's recommendations. Why are Trump's policies more reasoned, sensible, and moderate than those which he embraced not very long ago?

(https://www.heritage.org/impact/trump-administration-embraces-heritage-foundation-policy-recommendations)

Am I to believe that, in the space of six short years, Trump has seen the light and repented of his former sins? If that is the case, then would you explain the difference between Project 25 and Trump's own Agenda 47, which also I have not read (or viewed as in the videos linked). I do not have the time or desire to listen to him bloviating about issues on which I have long since made up my mind about and which I am certain will be antagonistic to his viewpoint.

In spite of their "irreconcilable" differences, Trump and the Heritage Foundation have one thing in common, namely the belief that they can MAKE America good. In other words, by passing legislation and enforcing it on a recalcitrant population, they can change the minds, attitudes, and behaviors of the American People in order to reach a more desirable outcome. In this, they are no different than those groups on the Left, (or any other political power-driven group) which also subscribe to the same belief. The whole thing is nothing more than religious factions fighting over the souls of men with opposing messages--all of it driven by an intense, ungodly desire for power.

A pox on all their houses! ALL THEIR HOUSES!!

2.) I also found it amusing that Javier Milei, the current President of the economic basket case known as Argentina, was promoted heavily as somehow managing to "save and restore" his country from the depredations of decade after decade of extreme socialist policies, and it only took six months for him to accomplish the task. Wow! A super-hero, who Trump can look up to and take lessons from!!

First, Milei promised to gut the Argentine central bank which should have been done a long time ago, but he then immediately embraced the Federal Reserve central bank as the backstop of his economic "miracle". In other words, he jumped from the frying pan into the fire. Why? The immediate suspicion which comes to mind is that he is wholly owned and will do whatever he is told as in "controlled opposition" and many, many people have been fooled by it.

Second, Milei, immediately upon taking office endorsed the West's efforts in the Ukraine war and more recently visited Israel where he pledged to move Argentina's embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. Not only that, but he embraced the Jewish religion by putting a yarmulke on his head and proving his allegiance and obedience at the Wailing Wall. See the photo above. Yes, he is wholly owned, body soul, and spirit.

And we are supposed to look up to him as a model of freedom against the State Behemoth which threatens to subdue and imprison all of us?

I do agree with Navarro-Genie's assertion that swift, thorough change is the proper approach to correcting the imbalances and abuses which plague our lives and societies, but I do not think these corrections can nor will be administered from the top down. Rather, they will come about from the bottom up, probably not swiftly nor thoroughly, but gradually over time because people finally wipe the shit out of their eyes and realize that governments, oligarchs, and dictators everywhere have no answers except more forced and violent intervention into their lives. When sufficient numbers stop promoting the Status Quo by looking for a "savior" (whether left or right) to rescue them, taking personal responsibility into their own hands, then we will see things change for the better.

Until then, it is just another day in the not-so-monotonous trudge to the bottom of the Pit. But, hey, who knows? Jesus might actually snatch us up into the sky out of our self-imposed misery. One can hope. Hope deferred, however, makes the heart sick and there is no question in my mind about the sickness with which so many people are infected with.

This is a major issue. Most people are concerned only with what can be collectively done, as in, democracy, majority rule, etc., and do not even consider how their own actions will affect the collective will. After all, every collective is made up of two or more persons and the actions of each WILL impact and affect the overall result.

What to do? Get your own personal affairs in order according to what is right. This is the only way that will produce lasting results.

"Why? The immediate suspicion which comes to mind is that he is wholly owned and will do whatever he is told as in "controlled opposition" and many, many people have been fooled by it."

Yep, only 3 Countries are not owned by int'l banking cartel (Cuba, Iran, NO. Korea).

Not looking good for Argentina. Many have tried to walk away (Kennedy was an example, as was Hamilton, as was Lincoln) and we all know how that turned out.

Israel is a sad state of affairs, but great for the Miltary Industrial Complex of business, so I see Trump aligning with Nut-yawn-ya-who.

Strange since he stated he'd end Ukraine issue in one day.

Could he not demand a cease fire immediately in Palestine if he wanted?

Expand full comment

It astounded and amused me how “the common people” could have ever believed that a narcissistic billionaire could be concerned with their plight, but considering that the choice was between him and Killary, well obviously anyone but Killary is preferable, but then weren’t there other candidates?

Probably not, the system won’t allow real alternatives to make it through. The current system is antithetical to the interests of the people.

There is a huge amount of work to be done to change to current system into one that will be sympathetic, or better yet, beholden to the Public, but first, it is up to the people to realize and understand what the current system really is, and moreso that it is up to each of them individually to see to it that the system is changed.

The idea of enforcing anything on a recalcitrant population as you mention, yes, that is indeed rather scary, it might sound great when you think your preferred ideologies are going to win the day, but what about in a few years when your opponents gain Office and begin to forcibly impose their ideologies onto you, your family and others? Look at the past few years when a segment of the population (corporatists) began to pressure everyone into “strongly suggested” medical interventions… what if they had managed to make their forced impositions legal?

That they were allowed to deprive people of their livelihoods without legal repercussions (firing people or forcing them to take unpaid leave from work) is very alarming to anyone with any ability to reason.

These new “saviors” being held up as role models and cheered, are going to be used to get people accustomed to more autocracy, and in little time rights and protections will be willingly stripped of everyone before they realize what’s being done.

It’s disappointing how easily the majority are mislead, but then, what could one expect, the dumbing-down has been decades in the making, so I often wonder who really is to blame for the stupidity and ignorance of the populace, is it the people, or is it the ruliing class who’ve been working hard at producing a populace such as we now have?

Most excellent report. There is need for Hope that we can not just survive the Bolshevism being foist on the world but to roll it back, perhaps even contain the ideology that drives it. My only contention is that Mr. Trump makes promises just like all other politicians. As he will be a lame duck with only FOUR years to defeat an entrenched bureaucracy of hundreds perhaps thousands of unelected leftist and other greedy department heads. It stands to reason that as with his first four years every trick will be used to derail every attempt to change. Also I do not share your optimism that those who control the US Uni party of constant war will suddenly embrace peace and free trade. It's not in their interest, chaos, conflict, division, propaganda and profits are all they know. Ending The Federal Reserve cartel, and the IMF will be a good start.

@warmek Ronald Reagan threatened the AT controllers union once. IMO it would require a tyrannical operation like the evil Abraham Lincoln, Joseph Stalin or even a Saddam Husein, who would just shoot any that opposed him.

'The mainstream has extracted the most inflammatory passages from the 900 page book to scare under-educated suburban soccer moms and ancillary hysterics.'

But they rule and have for many decades. New Amerika is an Amy Klobuchar nation, and so the luciferian forces that manipulate it just drag women from crisis to crisis, hysteria to hysteria. It works. It's repeatable. Heck they love the drama. The Woke-Fem Politburo, not some well-reasoned New Right, commands the nation. The globo-elitists would be impotent without this force constantly demanding, and implementing, their 'improvements'.

'Trump will force marriage, force us to stop killing our babies and make us mothers against our will.' This is the Method. Works. Repeatable.

New Amerika is what a Feminist Nation looks like. It is not the same as El Salvador, it is not the same as Hungary. The U.S. is the homeland and stronghold of the NWO, and that's New Woman Order just as much as New World Order. It's a Homeland Security nation, frantically trading every freedom for promises of SAFETY.

To succeed in restoration of Goddess Columbia Nation, you will need the strongest, most knowledgeable men on your side, and that means Christian men who have passed out of the sway of women. They are not many but, enough, because the Lord has their six. You cannot have empowered girls and empowered women -- you cannot have a feminist nation -- and stave-off or reverse the damage that has been done, and that looms ahead. You must choose.

The Deep State bureaucracies and modern intel agencies are staffed and controlled by women. The schools and colleges, the media, the courts, so on. By women trained to be feminists for more than half-a-century. They will not change heart nor cede power easily, and they are backed by their fathers, who often are very powerful in this world politically and economically.

The U.S.A. -- like Canada, Britain, Australia and others -- replicate the original ruination and fall of this world, for this world at one time was a sweet and lovely place, with no death or pain, and no predation. If you wish to save your nation you must reverse that Fall, which occurred for two reasons only: the desire of the female to be 'equal with God' and thus to rule over the male, and the desire of the male to do the will of the female, rather than the will of God.

Right now, you're a nation full of massively empowered and entitled women and emasculated (but fat-living!) men, comfortable with the bounty of empire, and utterly weak before their own wives and daughters, who indeed rule over them. That will have to change.

Work to restore a MASCULINE, FATHER-LED FAMILY nation, and the Lord will take up your cause. THIS and ONLY this is what the enemies of truth and freedom fear. Try Him.
