White House uses Texas 'execution style' murders to push gun control — but omits key detail that derails narrative





Comment:



The powers-that-be won't protect the public, and will not allow anyone to legally defend themselves.
  
UnAmerican.  Also,cynical manipulation of fear, and ruthless exploitation of the same.

These guys are hard luck, the Browns.  Almost sounds familiar.


History that the RINOS would like you to forget

 



Back in the late 80's, Ronald Reagan had conservatism at its high point. People recognized liberalism as insane, and usually made fun of it. That is, the late Rush Limbaugh made fun of it. America was back in the saddle again, and liberals were casting about looking for answers. Meanwhile, Reagan's sidekick, one George HW Bush, won the nomination. He became the President, and it has been downhill ever since. Slick Willy beat him after Papa Bush made a mess of things.

Bush wanted a kindler, gentler America. Well, he sure got one! Now all the boys are sissies. Those that aren't, are treated as if THEY were the problem. That's the kind of problem that the RINOS have given us. It wasn't just Papa Bush, but the entire crew of the surrender chorus. Every time that the liberals wanted something, the RINOS did their version of the French Army, and retreated or surrendered. They sure like to scold the conservatives, like the sissy boys that they are, for being willing to fight. Now they got the so-called conservatives joining the sissy faction.

Gingrich was a fighter. But that was too much for the Bushies. Gingrich was excluded at the 2000 GOP convention. Instead of conservativism, which balanced the budget during the Slick Willy years, we got massive deficits when the Bushies got back in. Thus gave us the Kenyan in the White House. That, and a war which Baby Bush let go on for too long. So Shrub screwed the pooch, and ushered in the Kenyan. We got ObamaCare and a government completely out of control.

Finally, after eight years of misrule under the Kenyan, we got a guy who would fight back. It seems that Shrub had a disinclination to fight. His little brother ran, but lost to Trump. His little Jebbie brother only wanted to LEARN from the commies, not to fight them. You know, you have to wonder about these Bushies. They'd rather fight the patriot base of the GOP than to fight commies. That kindler gentler wing of the party seems a bit broken. Even Jimmy Carter called Papa Bush a "wimp". Must be something to that charge. Well, the son of the wimp got pounded by Trump. That really wasn't very hard, you know. Little Jebbie should wear a dress. It's the latest thing.

Stinging from their defeat, the RINOS got even. They let the Democrats run roughshod over the new GOP president. The commies took over again, and proceeded to impeach Trump twice. The RINOS had to pretend to support the base, but a few of them showed their true colors and folded like they love to do.

In 2022, the base fought back. But the RINOS, which is their custom, decided to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They sabotaged the ticket, and lost as many races as they could. Especially those that Trump endorsed. Can't have anybody who would actually defend the country and do their jobs. No sir, can't have that. They immediately blamed Trump for the disappointing show, and ran on it in Wisconsin.

The RINOS lost the judgeship in Wisconsin by running against the base and MAGA. He lost. What a surprise. They LOVE to do this. But this time, they couldn't blame Trump. The guy didn't want Trump's endorsement, and he crapped all over the conservative base. So the conservatives and the MAGA people didn't vote for him. Why should they? The GOP Establishment never supported Trump, and they thought that this is what they needed to win. But that didn't work, now did it? It never does, and that is why they love it so.

The RINOS are at it again. They are pushing DeSantis on us. DeSantis is pretending to be a conservative, just like the Bushes pretended to be conservative. This will last only as long as the election, should he actually win. This is not likely, as the MAGA people know the score. The Establishment is doing what it does best, and that is to LOSE. They love that. This is true because every time they get power, they cave in to the commies. They had full control of the Congress and the Presidency after the 2016 election, despite predicting that Hillary would win 40 states, and the Congress would fall to the Democrats. Then, they proceeded to crap over those who believed them when they said that they would repeal ObamaCare. They let the commies win in 2018 by refusing to stop the Russia, Russia nonsense.

DeSantis is owned by the Establishment. All he is good for is to lose to the commies yet again. We will get the usual excuses when that happens, and it will. No matter what DeSantis does, he is branded as a loser because he is doing what the Establishment tells him to do. The Establishment cares nothing for the people. The people are not going to go for fakes. If they want the real commies, they'll vote for them.

Pelosi calls Republicans 'losers' during interview with LGBTQ+ news website


Comment:

After getting almost nothing done, but a weak sauce deal that passed by the slimmest of margins, McCarthy is finally going to get a meeting with Brandon.

McCarthy should tell Brandon to pound sand.

No deals.  But McCarthy will go and he'll get what GOP always gets---nothing.

Maybe Pelosi is right.  This kind of thing may show why.

So, inflation isn't a real problem?  Crime in the streets isn't a real problem?  Border chaos isn't a real problem?

For commies, the only problems are caused by others who oppose them.   All the "imaginary" problems are really not their fault.  It's MAGA's fault.  How convenient.

Test post, truth social embed



Cancelled Twitter several years ago. This is the first social media site that I've used in awhile. Here's an option I will test to see how it works on this platform.







Comment:



Many people are going to regret this dalliance with a communist regime like China. This embedded post from Truth Social warns the Democrats that they are making a mistake. I'd say "ditto" to that, and warn the GOP while you are at it, girl. The GOP is just a fake opposition party. As long as they fake it, then whatever the Democrats say and do is what goes for us all.

Politics schmolitics



Boy do I hate politics. Then, why write about it? Perhaps there is something about it that is salvageable. Or, perhaps useful despite its odious nature. It is the world we live in, and this is how we do things. I sit here and wonder, though. Is there any better way of doing things than this?

Politics is warfare by other means. Consequently, it is NOT about solving any problems. That is, unless the problems are with others who oppose you. Then it is okay, it would seem, to bash the other guy's head in. But it doesn't solve any other problems than those kinds of problems.

On the other hand, a creative endeavor requires cooperation. It requires open mindedness. It requires an openness to other ways of doing things. After all, that is what is needed. Many new things will have to be attempted. In contrast, politics attempts to maintain things as they are. Any attempt to change anything is likely to run into resistance. Even more so, it is likely to run into violence. There shouldn't be change just for the sake of change. There shouldn't be status quo just for the sake of status quo. A happy medium should be possible, but always seems out of reach.

In addition, the very nature of warfare is deceitfulness. If politics is warfare by other means, then deceit is a necessary attribute for success. By its very nature then, it destroys any capacity for creative problem solving. Those who think that politics leads to solutions to any practical difficulty are always going to be disappointed in the outcomes arising from politics.

I'd like to solve problems. But politics stands in the way of anyone who attempts to solve any problem at all. That is, unless the "problem" is with people who disagree with you. Invariably, it leads to warfare or eternal strife. Nothing good can come from that, and a whole lot of bad must come from that.

There are those who say this seems "kumbaya". Nope, it isn't. It is a realistic assessment of the world as it is. Too bad that this is the case. People should know better by now, after centuries of this kind of thing. Evidently, nobody ever learns.
